Chapter 259 - Testing a New Style
“Offline security?” A Silly Cutie’s big eyes widened, her long lashes trembling slightly.
“What’s wrong, Skeleton Big Brother? You’re scaring me a bit with what you said.”
In the game, you could do anything without limits. It was all your own freedom.
As long as you didn’t violate the game’s rules and didn’t have too grand ambitions, you could definitely relax more in the game than in the real world.
Because players came from all corners of the world.
Even if there was a bit of friction between each other, at most it would be resolved in the game.
Others didn’t have the intention to specially run to your real-life address to settle scores with you.
But Jiang Cheng’s meaning was that she would be in danger in real life?
A Silly Cutie was slightly startled.
In real life, she was just as powerless as in the game, with no foundation to speak of.
In the game, she still had Skeleton Big Brother to protect her, but what about in real life?
She wasn’t stupid enough to not believe these things. Despite her slight naivete, her past experiences told her that some people could do anything for their own interests.
“Don’t worry, he will help you resolve these things.”
Jiang Cheng tightly held A Silly Cutie’s hand, making her feel a bit more at ease.
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, a player suddenly walked into the private room.
His face looked very serious, as if he had encountered something grave.
However, A Silly Cutie unexpectedly discovered that she knew this person.
Because this person was Zhang Rui, who had accompanied her to the Supreme God’s funeral, also known as Qi Tun Tianxia from Aotian Club.
“Guild Leader Silly Cutie, we meet again. Let’s skip the small talk. My master is looking for you.”
Qi Tun Tianxia didn’t waste words and directly got to the point, stating his purpose.
A Silly Cutie looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise. Seeing him nod, she then realized that the person Jiang Cheng wanted her to meet was actually Fist Sage Zhen Shanhe?
“Skeleton Big Brother, you know Fist Sage?”
Jiang Cheng slightly nodded. “Go quickly. I’ll wait for you here.”
“I… Okay.” A Silly Cutie originally wanted to say something, but in the end, she still obediently nodded and left with Qi Tun Tianxia.
In the private room, only The Humbly Great Emperor, Yue Xia Qing, Ximen Longting, Sword Dao Warrior, a total of eighteen members of Cutie Shakes the World remained.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng waved his hand, signaling for The Humbly Great Emperor to come over.
The Humbly Great Emperor, who had just drunk a bit of wine, was somewhat surprised and also felt extremely honored.
He quickly jogged over to Jiang Cheng’s side, his playful expression turning solemn as he respectfully asked with his head lowered, “Skeleton God, what do you need?”
Jiang Cheng gestured for him to come closer, not saying anything.
“Huh?” The Humbly Great Emperor was a bit confused.
Because Jiang Cheng’s mouth opened but didn’t speak, he didn’t know what he meant.
However, his body involuntarily walked a few steps forward, his expression a bit tense.
This was a super big shot who could 2 vs 1, an existence even more impressive than the gods.
If he said the wrong thing in front of him, his days in Cutie Shakes the World, or rather, in the online gaming world, probably wouldn’t be good.
With this kind of reverence, it would be strange if he wasn’t nervous.
“Do you want to become an expert?”
Seeing him sweating on his forehead and his body trembling, Jiang Cheng smiled faintly.
“A gaming expert?”
The Humbly Great Emperor had a trace of confusion on his face, but in less than an instant, his expression changed from puzzled to stiff.
“Skeleton God, you… you… you can talk?”
The Humbly Great Emperor was surprised. Although he and Yue Xia Qing and the others thought Jiang Cheng was very powerful, they still treated him as an undead.
An undead that could actually talk?
He was slightly stunned.
However, after thinking about it, he understood.
This was the world of the game. Anything could happen.
A skeleton talking wasn’t strange at all.
What was strange was, did Skeleton God mean to teach him?
Instantly, The Humbly Great Emperor almost fainted from happiness.
He suddenly felt that a huge pie had fallen from the sky and heavily hit him on the head.
My god, the skeleton big shot who could defeat two major gods actually wanted to take him as a disciple?
“I do! Even in my dreams, I want to become an expert like the Twelve Gods! Please accept me as your disciple, big shot!”
The Humbly Great Emperor trembled with excitement, kneeling down devoutly under the stunned gazes of the others.
“Get up first. I’m not going to teach you anything, and I don’t have any intention of taking disciples. I just thought of some special styles and need to find someone to test them out.”
Jiang Cheng waved his hand, gesturing for him to get up. “I’m not sure if the results of the experiment will be good or bad. Consider it carefully. If…”
“God, no matter what you want to test, I’m willing! I’ll fully cooperate! I’ve decided. From today onward, aside from eating and sleeping, I’ll spend the rest of my time by your side, testing new styles for you!”
The Humbly Great Emperor didn’t care if it would fail or not.
He only knew that this was his chance to soar.
If he seized it, he might be able to escape his current life.
Even if he failed, he could still squeeze out a bit of something from the big shot’s teeth and make himself stronger!
You have to know, the little tricks the big shot casually used were something they could only look up to in this lifetime.
His face was still extremely excited.
Whether the skeleton big shot was testing new gaming styles or had other purposes, it didn’t change the fact that from now on, he would have a big shot backing him.
So, he was going to be awesome.
“Very good.” Jiang Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
Cutie Shakes the World was currently basking in the spotlight, pursued by players from all walks of life. It had become a nationwide sensation, a guild that everyone longed to join.
However, behind the scenes, the guild was as fragile as loose sand.
What’s more, besides Jiang Cheng himself, there wasn’t a single expert in the entire guild that could be relied upon.
Of course, this was unavoidable.
After all, ever since online gaming entered the Mythic era, top experts had basically been poached by others.
Any slightly famous expert had become the backbone of large guilds. To dig them over required expending a lot of resources.
Moreover, the loyalty of experts dug over was a huge problem.
They also might not be able to adapt to his new playstyle. It wasn’t guaranteed that they wouldn’t betray him one day for greater benefits.
For Cutie Shakes the World, which was in a development period, this was undoubtedly a huge problem.
So Jiang Cheng prepared to train them himself.
The reason he chose Ximen Longting and the others was that first, these people were all bottom-level players, and their malleability was stronger than expert players. They were more likely to accept his new playstyle.
Moreover, the character of this group of people was still okay. They were still relatively principled.
Although they were killed to level 0 by Anti-Cutie before, they still didn’t give up.
Moreover, when encountering the pursuit of Anti-Cutie, they could still persuade them to leave first.
Most importantly, this group of people was sneaky enough, very much in line with the new style he needed to test.
“My new style isn’t just one. Tell me about their personalities, occupations, families, education levels. I need to have a deeper understanding of you all.”
“A deeper… Ahem, sorry, big shot. Occupational habit, occupational habit.”
The Humbly Great Emperor had an awkward expression. He then quickly called the others over and gave them a wink, saying,
“You guys, hurry up and come over. Report your three sizes, birth details, how much money your family has, how many wives you have, how many girls you’ve dated before, how much savings you have, whether you’ve ever drawn a hard-working blessing, all of it to me!”
