Chapter 22

Chapter 22

The gaming community of Aquamarine was abuzz with chatter and disbelief after witnessing Jake's unexpected act during Electrolux's live streaming.

As Jake swiftly dispatched the leader of the Germinal Organization, the entire player community of Aquamarine was left stunned, their eyes glued to their screens, witnessing a moment they never anticipated. The Germinal Organization was widely believed to be the ultimate challenge, the final boss of the first version of the game. Players had invested countless hours strategizing and collaborating to conquer this formidable foe, only to have their expectations shattered in an instant.

The most affected player group were the Germinal Organization players.

Their camp was destroyed and quite frankly had no idea what to do now.

Amidst the chaos of Jake's decisive blow, many players found themselves grappling with a mix of emotions. Some were in awe of his skill and audacity, while others felt a sense of betrayal, their hard work seemingly rendered meaningless by his solitary act. The forums erupted with a flurry of posts as players sought to make sense of what had transpired.

One player, under the username "ShadowBlade," expressed their disbelief, writing, "I can't believe some guy just soloed the final boss like that! We were supposed to face that challenge together, as a community.

This feels like a slap in the face to everyone who contributed to getting us this far."

Another user, "MysticCage," echoed similar sentiments, stating, "I feel cheated. We were all working towards overcoming the Germinal Organization together, and now it feels like our efforts have been invalidated. What's the point of grinding for experience points and mission rewards if someone can just bypass it all with a single move?"

Another user,"Bananafry", commented.

"Guys I was there when this happened that is not a player that's a random NPC. And let me tell you he is strong. He punched through a steel wall like its paper.

I can't believe all that experience points and rewards was shot to hell!"

Many of the players reacted to the post.

Most of them were shocked.

''Gonkun'' posted, "I can't believe that there's another powerful NPC just like that Han Xiao in this planet.

Maybe he will issue more cool missions with better Rewards".

As the discussions unfolded, tensions ran high among the player base. Some argued that Jake's actions were a testament to his individual prowess and should be celebrated, while others contended that it went against the spirit of teamwork and cooperation that the game was built upon.

A user named "TechTitan" proposed a compromise, suggesting, "Maybe the developers could introduce a new challenge for us to tackle together as a community. Something even more difficult than the Germinal Organization, to prove that we're capable of overcoming any obstacle, no matter how daunting."

However, not everyone was convinced by this suggestion. "DarkKnight" voiced their scepticism, writing, "Creating a new challenge won't erase the disappointment many of us feel right now. The developers need to address the underlying issue and ensure that future content encourages collaboration and teamwork, rather than rewarding individual actions at the expense of the community."

Han Xiao stood in the sanctuary, his hands gripping the control panel of his new robot rover tightly as he stared at the screen displaying the forum activity. His expression was a mixture of shock, surprise, and simmering anger as he watched the events unfold on Electrolux's stream. The sight of Jake, relentless in his pursuit of the leader of the Germinal Organization, filled Han Xiao with a sense of disbelief and betrayal.

As the leader of the Germinal Organization lay beaten to the brink of death, Han Xiao's mind raced with a myriad of emotions. He couldn't shake the feeling of anger bubbling within him, knowing that Jake had single-handedly taken down the Germinal Organization leader.

Han Xiao's thoughts turned to his own experiences, his own journey as a reincarnated person within the game.

Could it be possible that Jake shared a similar background? The idea gnawed at Han Xiao, adding another layer of complexity to his already turbulent emotions.

'dammit, that son of a b#tch might be a reincarnated person just like me.....

Know it all adds up there wasn't any Jake in the game last time.

F#ck.... That means he should have got all those experiences points and rewards for completing the mission...' Han Xiao thought to himself.

He almost crushed the rovers head.

As Han Xiao continued to monitor the forum discussions, his anger simmered beneath the surface, fueling his determination to uncover the truth behind Jake's actions. If Jake truly was a reincarnated person like him, then perhaps there was more to their connection than Han Xiao had initially realized. But until he had concrete evidence, he would remain wary of Jake's intentions, unwilling to trust someone who had so callously disrupted the fabric of their shared reality.

With a sigh, Han Xiao returned his attention to his robot rover, his mind buzzing with unanswered questions and unresolved emotions. The events of that day had left an indelible mark on him, reshaping his perception of the game and the players who inhabited it. As he continued to work on his projects in the sanctuary, he knew that he would need to tread carefully in the days to come, for the world of Aquamarine was more complex and unpredictable than he had ever imagined.

" I'm sure that basterd will come here with his smug smile.....

WE COULD HAVE WORKED TOGETHER GOD DAMMIT" Han Xiao shouted to nobody.

As Jake and his team disappeared from the Andrea Continent with their ill-gotten loot, the gaming community of Aquamarine was left reeling from the aftermath of his actions. While players debated the implications of Jake's solo takedown of the Germinal Organization's leader, little did they know that he had already moved on to his next scheme. Onboard their yacht, en route to the Black Phantom Sanctuary, Jake and his crew reveled in their newfound riches.

With the vast expanse of the ocean stretching out before them, Jake ordered his crew to slow down the ship, allowing them to bask in the glory of their successful heist/mission.

The air was thick with excitement and anticipation as they toasted to their victory, the clinking of glasses echoing across the deck.

Amidst the celebrations, Hela and Aurora remained secluded in their room, their expressions unreadable as they processed the events that had unfolded.

"What a party poopers" Jake commented on their decision to not participate.

As the night wore on and the celebrations continued, Jake and his team remained blissfully unaware of the storm brewing on the horizon.

I hope everybody enjoyed the chapter...
