I'm a God in an Online Game

Chapter 3



Super Cheating!

“It looks to me like you refuse to go with the easy way, so I guess we’ll have to do this the hard way! Remember this! The one who sent you back to the spawn point was Tian Xuance!” The player with the ID of Bai Wensheng raised his sword to attack as he coldly spoke, his eyes burning with a strange fervor. He wondered if whatever this guy got from the lucky encounter would drop when he died.

Meng Jingtian was surprised to hear this. Tian Xuance?

In the last game he had played, Tian Xuance was a rather famous player, though he supposed that ‘infamous’ was the better word.

This guy specialized in killing field bosses, botting with multiple accounts. But because he was willing to use any method at his disposal, his equipment wasn’t bad. For a time, he even managed to squeeze his way into the bottom of the top ten players.

This man could be considered to have some quarrels with Meng Jingtian, but he hadn’t expected to run into him here. It was just that he hadn’t recognized the man because ‘Tomorrow’ used a person’s real name as their ID.

Thankfully, he was bold enough to introduce himself.

Given that his foe had already started attacking, Meng Jingtian naturally made his own move instead of trying to verify his identity.

Tian Xuance’s Basic Sword Arts was not a targeted skill, so Meng Jingtian easily dodged it and returned with a Divine Punishment.

They had all just entered the game, and all new players basically started off with a recovery skill and an attack skill.

While Meng Jingtian started off with a lot of basic skills, his only attack skill was Divine Punishment.

Once he used the skill, a bolt of lightning descended from the heavens toward Tian Xuance.

An alarmed Tian Xuance tried to dodge as Meng Jingtian had his own skill, but even if his reaction time hadn’t been lacking, Divine Punishment was a targeted skill. Once it was used, it was certain to hit the target.

Before Tian Xuance even had a chance to dodge, he was struck by the skill.

In a flash, Tian Xuance transformed into a beam of light and disappeared, his sword dropping to the ground.

Meng Jingtian looked through the battle log and found that his Divine Punishment had instantly taken 5000 HP from Tian Xuance.

At their current level, even adding up their HPs didn’t reach 1000.

Truly a god’s skill! Such power! …Tsk, tsk. Pretty cool!

Tian Xuance reappeared at the spawn point with a dour expression. When he looked at his stat panel, his lips went purple.

He discovered that he had gained an extra debuff after his revival.

God Forsaken: Cursed by a god. All stats reduced by 10%.

Dying just meant a loss of some experience. What was this ‘God Forsaken’ debuff about?

“Report! That damn scoundrel must be cheating!” Tian Xuance furiously got in touch with customer support. If this debuff weren’t removed, he would delete his account!

“Okay! Customer, we have received your problem and will swiftly investigate. Please be patient…” The damn customer support representative wasn’t in a rush at all, giving Tian Xuance a scripted reply.

“Screw you! That kid was super-cheating! What’s there to investigate! Wait? Like hell!” Tian Xuance stomped his feet in rage.

While Tian Xuance was jumping around in rage, Meng Jingtian was happily picking up the sword on the ground.

Refined Iron Longsword (Green): an excellent iron sword made for military use; Strength + 2, Attack + 100.

“Ding! System Notification: Player Nangong Qi is the first to reach Level 10. The Imperial City Estate is rewarded ten thousand golden coins and one purple weapon.”

“Ding! System Notification: The mission system is now active. Players, please inspect it when you have the time and select the main quest mission.”

Several announcements made the players on the shore freeze as they began to look through the announcements and explore the recently-activated mission system. No one paid attention to Meng Jingtian.

Meng Jingtian was also taken aback, his eyes chilling. Nangong Qi?

That lucky guy who got reborn in the imperial clan? Who could he be?

The matter of Tian Xuance had made Meng Jingtian realize that ‘Tomorrow’ was a game officially published by the United Nations, the only virtual online game published by the government in nearly one hundred years.

More than half of his friends and enemies from other games would come to this ‘world’, and those friendships and grudges from the past would find new life in this place.

Meng Jingtian clenched his fists. Everything he had lost in ‘Grand Desolation’, he would get back here!

But for now… he needed to fall back.

There were quite a few players on the shore, and once they finished messing around with the new system, some players might come and try to interrogate him about some Treasure Island.

He certainly had no time to play around with them. Each second in the early stages of a game was precious!

Meng Jingtian began walking over to Seaside City while inspecting the mission system.

Main Quest Mission: A god cannot lack for believers. Please head to a nearby town or city and recruit ten believers.

Mission Progress: 1/

Mission Reward: 10 stat points, 1 divine weapon.

“A divine weapon?” Meng Jingtian was thrown into disarray.

It can’t be, right? A divine weapon for completing a new player mission?

But considering that he was a god, there was nothing wrong about being rewarded with a divine weapon. After all, shouldn’t divine weapons just be ordinary weapons for a god?

While pondering this question, Meng Jingtian arrived outside Seaside City. Just as he was about to head in, he realized that his chat was constantly beeping.

Opening it up, he discovered that Cai Minghou had sent him tons of voice messages.

“What’s wrong?” Rather than listening to them one by one, Meng Jingtian decided to just ask what was going on.

“Brother, you’re finally back! Save me!” Cai Minghou was shockingly pleading for help.

“Weren’t you reincarnated as the Second Young Master of a mercenary company?” Meng Jingtian frowned.

Cai Minghou might have been an endless blabberer who liked to joke around, but he wasn’t someone who would call for help lightly.

“That’s right! But what you didn’t know is that the First Young Master is also a player! That scoundrel framed me for stealing an item King Pingwu entrusted our company with, even causing my NPC dad to shut me in a little black room! I can’t go anywhere, and I don’t even know what’s going to happen to me!”

“I’m in Seaside City. Once I finish my main quest mission, I’ll come and save you.” Meng Jingtian didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. This game was very different from all the other games he had played. He really didn’t know how he would go about rescuing his friend, so it was probably best if he leveled up a little first.

“Aaaah! Then forget it! I’ll probably just die a few times. Just have fun on your own! Let’s hope that we don’t end up dropping in level and being oppressed by those tyrants from the Proud World group until we can’t even raise our heads,” Cai Minghou dejectedly said.

Meng Jingtian didn’t reply, instead walking into the city. Several of the silver-armored soldiers were rather surprised to see him walk in.

...

But nobody tried to stop him, or even talk to him. They simply straightened their backs a little more.

“You again? You still dare to come to Seaside City?” Tian Xuance, who had just finished his fruitless session with customer support and was about to leave the city to grind, saw Meng Jingtian and immediately exploded in rage.

“And why shouldn’t I dare?” Meng Jingtian asked back.

“Hmph! Don’t think that nobody can do anything to you just because you’re cheating! I’ve already reported you, so go ahead!” Tian Xuance got scared when Meng Jingtian looked over. Recalling how this fellow was cheating, he didn’t dare to touch him, so he folded his arms, coldly snorted, and walked past him out of the city.

“Cheating?” Meng Jingtian was perplexed. Was he being praised?

Being criticized by this cheating specialist for cheating left him feeling rather strange!
