"GARGHHHH!!!" Shen screamed at the top of his lungs in frustration as soon as he respawned in the village. He could no longer hold the frustration.

"Who designed that kind of monster? A fish with a spearhead, and also hind legs? Are you kidding me!?"

A game was supposed to be fun to play, but here Shen felt like he was getting tortured by the game developer. They gave him a sweet candy, the Legendary Class. But he could not enjoy the candy at all. He could not bring the Legendary Class to its full potential if he could not hunt the monster to level up.

He then flopped down to the cold wooden floor and breathed out a long breath. The frustration was piling upon him. Since he entered the game, he had been unlucky.

Getting recognized by a shitty streamer, bullying him, and also making content out of him. Now he was here, in a place where he could not play the game.

He had been stuck on Level 1, once even his level was negative. Now the second day had started, more than six hours into the game, and he made zero progress. Still level 1.

It was as if fate was telling him that the game was not for him.

"I am done for now. I will truly get depressed if I continue dying in the game," the time inside the game was twice faster, meaning three hours had passed in real-time.

He logged into the game a little over nine in the morning, now it was twelve-thirty in the afternoon.

Shen opened the gaming pod with more force than usual and he jumped out of the gaming pod without closing it. He stormed out of his room and threw his body on the comfy couch.

He breathed out a long sigh and closed his eyes. After calming his mind from the frustrating game, Shen glanced at the clock. It was lunchtime for him.

"Let's eat something delicious to soothe my frustration… Sushi? Chicken? Let's eat fried chicken…" Shen forked out the phone. He looked at the restaurant, there was a place where he would buy fried chicken. A bucket of four fried chickens, a fresh salad, and avocado juice.

Something crunchy outside and juicy inside, fresh, and cool would soothe him a bit from the frustration of the game. After ordering the food, Shen laid down on the couch, doing nothing until his food arrived.

It was a swift delivery, fifteen minutes later his food arrived. He received the food, trying to wash away the frustration with the food.

Shen devoured the food clean. With his belly filled, Shen rested his back on the couch, his index finger was tapping against the soft surface of the couch.

"There must be a way… There should be a way…" he muttered as he recalled his miserable experience in the game.

"Did I miss something? Village with houses… Legendary Class… Maybe they make it harder because of the Legendary Class and maybe I can only work it out when other people find the village?"

"What should I do now? I don't want to restart my character," he let out another long sigh.

Shen brought the phone up and opened the forum. As soon as he opened the forum, a bright gold post came into his sight.

[Breaking News! First three Players to reach level 6!]

He immediately opened the post. Three profiles were included in the post.

——————————

Rank 1

Player: ZhangQ

Level: 6

Guild: Dynasty

——————————

——————————

Rank 2

Player: Zhong Ye

Level: 6

Guild: Royal

——————————

——————————

Rank 3

Player: Yue

Level: 6

Guild: -

——————————

There were a bunch of comments below the profile. The poster explained who these three players were.

There was no guild formed in the game yet, but Dynasty was an e-sport team. ZhangQ was part of the Famous Dynasty E-sport Organization.

The same for Royal, it was another giant e-sport org in China.

The beauty was the mysterious one since she was not a part of any organization. But she had a contract with Sky.

Shen was surprised that a brand ambassador game could catch up with two pro players without backing. He admired the beauty, she not only had a face but also a skill to back it up.

Shen closed the post. Below the golden post was a bright red post. If the golden post was an important announcement that had been read by many people. The red post was important news.

[Qingdao's Mayor's Son threatened a player in the game and immediately got instant karma!]

He opened the post, there was only a short explanation.

—I will not say anything, just watch the linked video in order, you will know what I mean.

There were two links below. Shen could not contain his curiosity as he opened the first link. The first link was an in-game clip.

The clip showed that a group of five players found the treasure chest inside a cave. However, he and his group were surrounded by another group of players.

Then there was one man from the surrounding group who came forward and claimed to be a Mayor Son of Qingdao. Of course, the players that surrounded the group did not care about the man's claim.

They were about to make a move until the one who claimed to be Mayor Son threatened the attackers. Mayor Son threatened to find the attackers in real life. There were a bunch of unpleasant words from Mayor Son, even a death threat.

In the end, the threat did not prevail as the attackers attacked the group of five. The video clip then ended there.

Shen then opened the second link. It was a video clip of someone laying down in the hospital bed. Gauze covered the man's hand and legs, his face was black and blue, and his neck was broken as there was a brace on his neck.

The video then moved closer to the man and Shen managed to get a clear look at the man's face. There was floating text on the video, saying he was one of Mayor Son's attackers in the game.

Then the video moved to a character in the game. It was in the same cave, one guy was holding a sword that had similar features to the man in the hospital bed.

Without a doubt, the man on the bed was the same person as the one in-game since Sky did not allow the player to modify the appearance. There was a reason for Sky to do this. It prevented the player from playing the game with a fake ID Card.

Shen then checked the third link. The third link was not a video, but an article. It was said that the Mayor Son of Qingdao City was under investigation as a friend of the man in the hospital reported the case to Sky's Cyber Security Team.

The post was still fresh, two hours ago. But the post had been viewed by over eight million views. Shen closed the post and turned on the tv. Sure enough, the media exploded as the same news was reported on the tv.

This was the first case of Tribe Online since its release. The serious case after the bullying case.
