Maxed Out My Passive Skill Due to My Laziness

Chapter 9: The Player Who Became Popular On The Forum

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In Milan Town, the Demon Hunter experienced a free return to the city.

The people who followed him were the same.

They all experienced a free trip back to the city.

The few of them walked out of the Temple of Life one after another.

A passing player saw this scene.

“Gosh, isn’t he from the Epic Guild? Why is he here?”

“Er, I don’t think anyone can kill them back. Is it to return to the city for free?”

“Shh, stop it. They’re looking over.”

…

The leading Demon Hunter listened to the discussions around him and fumed.

Fortunately, they were not Level 10 yet, so they would not lose EXP and equipment if they died.

Otherwise, the losses this time would be huge.

He took a deep breath and looked at the people behind him.

“So many of you were killed by him?”

Everyone looked at each other.

Everyone knew that he was angry. They lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.

There was a moment of silence.

One person braced himself and said, “Honestly, we don’t know how we died.”

“The moment our skill landed on that guy, we died.”

Upon hearing this, the Demon Hunter’s eyes flickered.

He experienced the same.

Right after he threw his skill, he died and appeared at the respawn point.

‘What was going on?’

He pondered.

At this moment, the person from before continued.

“Boss, to be honest, I feel that this might be a Warrior’s passive skill “Defensive Counterattack”?”

“I’m a Warrior. That situation is too similar.”

Hearing this, the Demon Hunter muttered to himself.

Although he was not a Warrior, before entering the game, he had read many strategies.

Naturally, he knew the passive skill “Defensive Counterattack”.

However, the damage did not match.

“Boss, do you think he opened a piece of God-grade equipment from the Newbie Gift Package? That’s why he was able to kill the boss and kill us all.”

The person continued to talk.

Upon hearing this, a sharp light shot out from the Demon Hunter’s eyes!

God-grade equipment!

This was completely possible!

Someone in the Epic Guild had obtained a piece of God-grade equipment in the past.

It was a special weapon for Priests.

That person was initially an ordinary player.

In order to win him over, he had become one of the leaders of the Epic Guild.

According to the information obtained there, this kind of God-grade equipment was not bound.

It could drop after death.

But now, after knowing that Linley might have God-grade equipment on him, the Demon Hunter was instantly tempted.

He sneered.

“Call all the brothers in the vicinity. I don’t believe that his God-grade equipment can continuously work.”

Then, dozens of them stormed off in search of Occam.

However…

Occam had already gone offline.

They could not find him at all.

The Demon Hunters did not find him and returned to the town.

“Boss, that guy might have gone offline.”

Someone guessed.

The Demon Hunter thought about it and said with a sinister expression, “Go to the forum and post. Whether he went offline or not, with so many players around, we will definitely find him.”

Thus, after a moment, a post appeared on the forum.

“Bounty for Linley”

The content was complete nonsense.

The boss Linley had discovered was said to be discovered by the poster first.

The reason why Linley had been able to get the boss’ first kill was that after they had beaten the boss to a bloody pulp, Linley had seized the opportunity to steal it.

Right now, there was a reward for Linley. Anyone who provided Linley’s precise location would be rewarded with five gold coins.

In short, all sorts of slander were thrown at Linley.

After all, they were famous guilds in the gaming world.

They needed a coat of justice to package themselves.

The Epic Guild had done this many times.

Many discerning people would not believe it.

However, many who do not know the truth were led astray.

Take the game for example, many players saw this post.

Many people did not know what was going on and after seeing Epic Guild’s claim, they all began to despise Linley.

“This Linley is too much. He actually dares to steal the boss like this.”

“No wonder he leveled up so quickly. He might have stolen a lot of people’s monsters too.”

“Such a person shouldn’t be born.”

“I’m in Milan Town. I’ll go find Linley’s location soon.”

…

Jeff saw the post too.

After reading it, he was immediately infuriated.

He did not believe that Linley was such a person.

Moreover, Linley was the one who had discovered the Boss. Everyone in Milan Town knew this.

However, the Epic Guild distorted the truth.

According to them, Linley had actually become an unscrupulous person.

Jeff could not bear that.

He immediately picked up the keyboard and transformed into a keyboard warrior as he fought.

However, there were too many people who did not know the truth.

“The one who said that the Epic Guild is spouting nonsense, can you explain why the Guild is offering five gold coins as a reward?”

“Right. If Linley hadn’t stolen the boss of that guild, would they have paid such a high price for reward?”

“That’s right. 5 gold coins is equivalent to 3,000 in cash.”

Regarding this, Jeff placed his hand on the keyboard and realized that he really could not refute it.

He wanted to notify Linley, but discovered that he had already gone offline. He could not contact him at all.

He could only look at the comments on the forums that were getting more and more intense, feeling depressed.

…

Occam had no idea about all that happened.

As a patient with late-stage laziness cancer, even if he knew, he would not be bothered to argue.

He was sitting in front of his computer.

He switched on the video call.

After a moment, a girl with two ponytails appeared on the screen.

“Hi, Occam. Are you in the game?”

The girl had some baby fat and two deep dimples on her cheeks, making her look lively and cute.

“Yes, my respawn spot is in Milan Town.”

“And you?”

The girl in front of him was called Annie. She was the one who had asked Occam to play this game with her.

“Mine is in Ziya Town.”

“The map shows that we’re not far away.”

Anne was surprised. She blinked her large eyes.

“By the way, do you know how popular Milan Town is now?”

Hearing this, Occam was puzzled.

“What is it?”

“Don’t you read the forum?”

Anne asked.

“I just went offline and came over to contact you,” Occam said.

“Hehe, since you didn’t read it, I’ll tell you.”

“It can’t be said that Milan Town is alive. It’s just that there’s a player named Linley in Milan Town who has gone viral on the forums.”

Hearing this, Occam looked puzzled.

‘I’m famous?’

“The people from the Epic Guild said that Linley stole their boss and is currently spending gold coins on the forums to post a bounty on his location.”

“Many of the players are debating whether or not Linley stole the Boss.”

“I don’t believe the Epic Guild.”

“Their guild likes to play games that distort the truth.”

Upon hearing this, Occam nodded. He had no intention of arguing on the forum.

As a patient with late-stage laziness cancer, he was too lazy to do such things.

On the other hand, in this internet age, many people only believed in what they first saw.

Then, they would accept it as the truth and hold a firm stance.

Even if someone told them that it was fake, they would not believe it.

Since that was the case, why waste his effort?

“No, I don’t like what the Epic Guild is doing.”

“I’ll see you in the game later, Occam. I happen to have a two-person mission. Let’s do it together after we reach Milan Town.”

“Wait for me at the entrance of Milan Town. Let’s go find Linley and let everyone see the true intention of the Epic Guild.”

Annie waved her fists angrily and ended the video call.

She was like that, filled with righteousness.

Occam leaned lazily back in his chair, resigned.

Why did such troublesome matters always come to him?

At the same time, in a certain villa’s bedroom, Annie squatted on the chair and was about to enter the gaming capsule.

She suddenly thought of something.

She grabbed her hair with both hands.

“Man, I forgot to ask Occam what his game name was?”

“Forget it. We agreed to meet at the entrance of Milan Town anyway.”

Then, she lay down in the gaming capsule and entered the game.
