Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 435: 419: Terrorist Attack

Translator: 549690339

In an instant, this small Bathing Lady Statue suddenly became a continuously exploding shock bomb!

Intense blinding light and almost eardrum-piercing shrieks erupted simultaneously!

Yi was prepared, taking a deep breath before the statue was materialized, and then he threw it towards the edge of the pool before diving into the water.

He had already verified that the sound insulation in the water was very good.

Closing his eyes and covering his ears, the rest was none of his concern.

He fully believed that the members of the underground bath group would use their initiative to throw this Bathing Lady Statue, oh, more accurately the Bathing Girl Lamp, out or into the water.

Encounter with a laugh and forget the past enmity?

Forget your uncle!

After my flash bomb, we can forget the past enmity!

The underground bathhouse instantly turned into hell on earth.

Except for Yi who was holding his breath underwater, players and NPC staff alike let out earth-shattering screams.

Especially Yelang and the members of the bathroom group who were closest, their cries were absolutely miserable!

They panic and tried to run, while being blinded by the intense white light, they couldn’t even keep their eyes open, and could only scramble blindly as their ears were pierced with screams.

But the underground bathhouse environment contained pools, steps, pillars, tables, cabinets, and stone stools, as well as various decorative objects. Some people turned around and hit their heads on pillars, immediately feeling dizzy and collapsing.

Some even slipped due to anxious feet, and when they fell they had bad luck and directly smashed their heads on the stone stools, dropping dead on the spot!

As more people bumped their heads while running like headless flies, it was a chaotic mess.

Moreover, due to the dense crowd, everyone inevitably collided with one another, the ground still full of water, quickly ensnaring them together.

This caused even more people to trip and fall, men and women sprawled all over the floor.

Even more absurd was that this was an underground bathhouse, and whether they were players or NPCs, customers or staff, everyone was wearing swimwear!

Men in swimming trunks and women in bikinis usually looked quite pleasant to the eyes.

But now everyone sprawled on the floor, all mixed together, heads, arms, legs, buttocks, and the backs of brains squeezed together, it was hard to tell who was who, with waves of breasts and buttocks, it looked simply…

Alright, even more pleasing to the eye!

However, it was a pity that not many people could enjoy this sight.

The Bathing Lady Statue was still lying on the floor, constantly emitting blinding light and shrill screams!

Everyone struggled only to escape, unable to see clearly as they had no inclination to look!

Not only the players on-site, but the live-streamer community also suffered attacks, repeating the tragedy that happened when they first broke into the bathhouse in Metropolis and obtained this statue.

In Yelang’s live broadcast room, because he misjudged and pulled the lens too close, the viewers in the live broadcast room were virtually face-slapped by flash bombs.

In that instant, millions of people simultaneously cursed in anger.

Mass occurrences of leaning back, knocking over the computer, and breaking headphone cords happened again.

If Yelang wasn’t also miserable now – tripping over a thigh and then getting crushed by three to five other group friends who also fell down, completely engulfed in bodies – everyone would have started cursing him!

The underground bathhouse was full of misery, while Yi held his breath calmly underwater.

However, holding his breath still, he felt something was off, so he forced himself to overcome his mental barrier and opened his eyes underwater.

Opening his eyes in water where countless people had bathed required truly overcoming some psychological barriers.

He didn’t surface, but instead, opened the panel in the water and jumped to Yelang’s live-stream.

Yi didn’t check his own live channel as it was set to a first-person view. At that moment, the viewers in his live broadcast room would see the same underwater scene as him.

He did this for a simple reason: the audience are like parents who provide his livelihood, so it’s better not to offend them if he can help it…

As for offending Yelang’s live audience?

Well, don’t blame me for that, haha!

Not surprisingly, the number of viewers in Yelang’s live broadcast room had significantly decreased, and the remaining viewers were all cursing:

“Are you crazy?! Throwing flash bombs here?!”

“My headphones!! Damn it!”

“I thought there were no attacks allowed on public maps?”

“What the hell was that? I didn’t even get a good look at it. Are there even flash bombs that can keep exploding like that?”

“Great stuff! Give me one too! I’ll go bomb the bathhouse every day!”

The discussion was chaotic.

It seemed that after Yelang’s cross-dressing incident, his live broadcast room gained a lot of new fans. So many people didn’t even know about the [Bathing Girl Lamp] achievement item.

As for Yelang, he had already left the underground bathhouse, rubbing his eyes and ears vigorously, trying to shake the lingering blind and deaf illusions.

Since it was confirmed that Yelang had left, Yi didn’t waste any more time and quickly turned back to the operation panel, taking back the [Bathing Girl Lamp] item.

After that, he surfaced and started taking deep breaths.

Before he even caught his breath, Yi couldn’t help but burst into wild laughter: “Hahahaha, awesome!”

The plan was a huge success!

Since discovering that the [Palm Extreme Sports] skill, which was given by the limited edition Mirage token, could be used across different games, Yi immediately thought of other achievement items.

The first experiment he did was bringing the Tomato Trophy to the public map of Metropolis, which was very successful.

Afterward, he tried entering “Paradise,” and it was successful as well.

Then he tried entering “Speed Chase,” but failed.

He tried entering the map of [Night City – Public Version], and it was successful.

After that, Yi ate the tomatoes grown on the trophy and roughly concluded that-

The effects and items given by achievement trophies can be used in connected public maps and are not limited to the game where the trophy was obtained.

However, the items and effects attached to achievement trophies basically don’t have direct killing power. Their biggest purpose is probably to show off to other players.

It wasn’t until today’s gathering at the Red Circle Club’s bathhouse that he suddenly thought of the[Bathing Girl Lamp], which couldn’t enter the [Bathroom], and couldn’t withstand the loud noise.

So, today’s[Terror Attack Plan] was hatched.

A terror attack against dozens of players and NPCs, plus millions of live broadcast room audiences!

Seeing the hateful expressions on the faces of Yelang and his group friends who rushed in again after the [Bathing Girl Lamp] was taken back, it was clear how much resentment this attack caused.

If he didn’t do something now, a bathroom war might indeed break out next.

But it wouldn’t be a [1V1·Real Man Fight] anymore, but Yi against dozens of people.

Seeing the dozen muscular men wearing only shorts charging at him, Yi grinned and waved at Yelang, who was already in front of him.

“See you!”

[Forced Log Out].

Yi disappeared, and Yelang flung himself at empty space, plunging headfirst into the pool.

“You bastard!!!” Yelang burst out of the water, roaring at the sky!

“This isn’t over!!”

He felt his innocent feelings had been wounded!

Meanwhile, the online shop selling the number one headphones on the “Tengu” shopping site began to receive a flurry of new orders, with hundreds of orders popping up every minute!

The buyers’ addresses came from all over the country, seemingly random apart from the timing.

The staff thought the system was malfunctioning, but the shopkeeper, having had the experience of a similar situation a few months ago, directly went to Yi’s live broadcast room and indeed found the reason.

After Yi used the “Log Out Escape,” things didn’t end right away, as many “victims” came to seek justice.

To make their accusations sound more convincing and imposing, many people didn’t hesitate to spend money to send conspicuous messages to Yi.

To those paying spectators, Yi would read each message and never pretend not to see it.

And after reading each one, he would apologize: “I’m sorry, I was wrong, really sorry!”

He seemed very sincere.

The only problem was that as he apologized, he couldn’t help but keep laughing…
