BXBX NOVEL Chapter 322 - 322 – Party and Spreading Heat
After victory came celebration; this was a natural way of life. It was held on Sitting Dragn\'s roof.
Max sat on the end of the table and joined to drink something light. There was no need to refuse drinking in this kind of situation, especially since he already had someone looking out for him and staying sober.
"Hahaha, everything is on me! Drink more, guys!" Flexy was lost in happiness and laughed loudly.
"He\'s really happy with the result," Max commented as he looked at his happy friend, "I am also satisfied, though. Don\'t you think so, Sucker? I got many good footage you can use, right?"
"Why is this noble me here?" BloodSucker deflated as he sipped wine in the glass in a classy manner, "At least the drink is passable." He licked his lips.
"I am glad you\'re enjoying yourself." He chuckled after seeing his editor before turning to Lily. "And, Lily… This man isn\'t that scary, no? You watched him acting like a kid on the spectator seat earlier."
"Am I feared?" BloodSucker asked with a tint of happiness in his voice.
"Shaa!" Lily hissed as she hid behind Max, glaring at the vampire-wannabe. "Take 10 steps away!"
"Come on, you\'re not a cat." Max sighed and turned to a certain platinum-haired girl. "And Ferin, please don\'t take pictures."
"Tsk, I was found out." Ferin clicked her tongue and silently returned to her seat. "But, yeah. Is he your editor? This man looks… unique. Say, do you want to work in my agency as a model? I can promise a good pay."
Hearing the top model\'s offer, Max was surprised. He knew BloodSucker looked a bit… better than other men. But getting an invitation to join Ferin\'s agency wasn\'t that easy. He knew about it because Lily shared a story about her agency beforehand.
He looked at his editor curiously. Would he accept it? And if he did, how about the job as an editor?
However, he didn\'t need to worry at all.
BloodSucker moved the glass in his hand slowly, watching the wine move inside.
"Sorry, lady. But this noble me\'s figure is not for everyone to enjoy. Besides, light kills me and I love my current job. So, no, thank you."
"A shame." Ferin shrugged her shoulders, "You can be famous among goth ladies, you know? With your unique style and this vampire cosplay."
"Huh? Cosplay?" The vampire-wannabe raised his voice and glared at the top model, "Let me tell you something! I am not cosplaying. This is art. My true self! Viscount BloodSucker, the last vampire at your service.
Be honored at meeting this elated figure!"
This time, it was Ferin\'s turn to be speechless. She pointed her finger at BloodSucker, who kept yapping about his lineage, and turned at Max.
He could only nod at her. There was no cure to his editor\'s fantasy and delusion. It was at an acute level already.
The party continued. After watching BloodSucker\'s strange and unique behavior, Lily\'s fear toward him had lessened. She settled on the thought that he was just one of those crazy people on the street and just thought of him as a walking editor for her boyfriend.
While that wasn\'t wrong, it hurt the vampire-wannabe\'s heart slightly when he heard it. But then, he laughed maniacally.
***
While the players were out partying, Roach Planet\'s forum was ablaze. The reason was just one. An unexpected winner and an underwhelming final match.
[The final match ended at the 6th wave. Really?]
[Fraud winner! They employed a sly strategy to win.]
[Cheat or not? OrangeSquash\'s gameplay analysis!]
[Let\'s talk about the final.]
— WTF! That\'s my reaction
└ kekw, me too. That\'s my honest reaction too
└ No one blames you for not trusting it. Especially after what they showed us
— The MiceMice team got annihilated first. And then a least favorite team with 3 of their members replaced managed to snatch the win. Can someone explain it to me? HOW?!
└ Just because
└ Because they are better than the 3 members that left the team!
└ Is that so hard to understand? It\'s clearly because the new members are skilled. GODLY!
— Final? Isn\'t that just a last preliminary? I thought the competition would only start next month
— It\'s so ridiculous that I can\'t fathom what happened. Will we see such a strategy often from now on?
└ Say less, my teammates all use Sniper Rifle now
└ No one defends my base! I was left alone dealing with the wave and they just died. Fck them!
└ High MMR people now try OrangeSquash\'s strategy. Their winning rates increased by 20% at first, but now they can\'t win.
└ That strategy can only be used once, dude. And it requires a high skill ceiling.
— I say it\'s bull. They don\'t deserve the win!
Many people were dissatisfied with the result. New strategy and new champion. No one wanted to accept it. They chose to talk bad about the winner instead because that was way easier for them.
The head didn\'t only reach Roach Planet\'s forum. Strike was also buzzing after the anonymous first and third rank in SR ranking were revealed.
A certain community stepped forward from their cave and shared this news first. This community was made up of players who played Horizon Online, Atlas and Ferin\'s main game, totaling more than 50 million active players worldwide.
[I knew it! Those crazy couples are indeed crazy! Look at Atlas\' SR. A fucking 100%! Dude, is he even human? How could he achieve that SR?] Stay updated with mvl
[It\'s not humanly possible. 100% SR? Do those scientists have any explanation? Is his brain made from data?]
[Atlas, first confirmed 100%. GOD is the crazy couple from Horizon Online and a top model Atlas!]
[No talk from the doctor or scientist. 100% SR. Real or fake?]
Due to the gravity of the situation, no one knew how to react and thought it was exaggerated. Max also didn\'t believe it at first, but Lily had a perfect explanation that no other people knew besides a select few.
"Atlas was the one who helped the Spencer Family tune our new VR Capsule. It\'s made with him as a base, that\'s why he can reach 100% SR. Before this capsule was released, his SR peaked at 98.2%, while Ferin had the same SR as the one she had right now. Ah, this is a family secret."
After slyly putting her finger in front of her lips, Lily grinned at him. He knew why and couldn\'t help but pull her into a hug and give her a kiss, even in front of everyone. She was too cute to imply she shared this family secret with him.
That made her blush furiously, and she ran away first. Max chased after her and practically ended the party for the night.
