119: The unlucky 'Happy Swordsman' made the whole audience furious!

“Look, the guards have found us. Now there’s a good show to watch!”

“Old Man Chen is going to be in trouble now. Daring to challenge the rules, he’s probably going to be arrested and locked up soon…”

“I don’t think so. How could Old Man Chen, who can kill a Level 149 Diamond BOSS, let himself be arrested?”

“Hmph, Sun Wukong was powerful too, wasn’t he still suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain by the Buddha? There’s no good outcome for challenging the rules.”

“That’s right, the officials definitely won’t allow loopholes. The Main City NPCs’ strength in dealing with players is absolutely rule-level.”

“Look, the guards have surrounded Old Man Chen!”

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes, not wanting to miss this good show.

......

The guard soldiers formed two rows, completely surrounding Chen Beixuan and his two companions.

Then, Thomas, the leader, walked out. Upon seeing the person they had surrounded, he was stunned.

“Eh? Master Chen?”

Chen Beixuan narrowed his eyes and joked, “Oh, it’s you. Are you on duty today?”

Thomas quickly showed a smile and subconsciously covered his face.

“Ah, yes, yes, I’m on duty today. Oh, look, I didn’t know it was you. If I had known, I wouldn’t have dared to surround you for anything.”

After speaking, he quickly shouted to the soldiers, “This is Old Man Chen, our Human Hero. What are you still doing surrounding him? Return to formation!”

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers retreated behind Thomas and re-formed their ranks.

“Um… Master Chen, if there’s nothing else, I’ll lead the team back. Are you busy?”

Thomas didn’t want to stay with this person for long; he just wanted to get away.

A Hero’s title and prestige were comparable to a City Lord’s. As long as they weren’t extremely evil (red name), they were within the scope of tolerance.

This was the benefit that status and prestige brought.

“Don’t be in a hurry. If you just leave like this, won’t others say that you condone lawlessness and are inactive?”

“And you need to clear my name and give them an explanation. Don’t you think so?”

Chen Beixuan gave him a meaningful look.

Thomas instantly understood his meaning and let out a long “Oh.”

“Master Chen, don’t worry, leave it to me.”

Just as the two were talking, the players in the arena erupted!

One second they were surrounded, the next second they retreated. What was going on?!

They were still waiting to watch a good show!

“It’s a delaying tactic, definitely a delaying tactic!”

“They must have seen that Old Man Chen’s level is too high and need a higher-ranking guard general to deal with him. They’re afraid of pushing him too hard, so they retreated to relieve pressure and stall for time.”

“Hmm… Brother, a brilliant insight!”

The others nodded, deeply agreeing.

Besides this explanation, what other reason could there be?

Could Old Man Chen ignore the rules?

Don’t be ridiculous.

If Old Man Chen wasn’t punished today, they would storm the Myriad Realms official website tomorrow!

This broken game wasn’t worth playing anyway!

Thomas adjusted his words, then cleared his throat, preparing to make a simple announcement.

Master Chen wanted to use his mouth to deter others, and of course, he wouldn’t refuse such a favor.

He didn’t want to be dragged into an alley and slapped again someday...

“Cough, cough… All of you listen…”

“Wait a moment!”

Before he could finish, the resurrected Happy Swordsman ran over from outside the gate, his face full of resentment.

Thomas frowned, annoyed at being interrupted.

His politeness was only for Old Man Chen; other players were not included.

“You interrupted me. You’d better have something important to say.”

Happy Swordsman didn’t notice his expression. He immediately pointed at Chen Beixuan’s nose and said in a deep voice, “Old Man Chen! You owe me my equipment!”

After resurrecting, he suddenly received a notification: three of his seven pieces of equipment had inexplicably shattered. His heart was bleeding!

Although he didn’t know how it happened, it definitely had something to do with Old Man Chen!

So he rushed to the arena without stopping, not only to claim compensation for his equipment but also to seek justice in front of the guards!

Chen Beixuan was immediately amused upon hearing this.

The trace of sigh necklace did indeed have the effect of shattering equipment, but the probability was very small.

Coupled with his 1 point of luck, he never thought it would trigger.

This guy was really unlucky...

Chen Beixuan didn’t know that Happy Swordsman had actually had three pieces shattered at once. If he had known, he would probably have been amazed!

He wouldn’t be able to resist asking: Brother, do you have a distant relative buried on the distant African continent?

Before he could speak, Happy Swordsman turned to Thomas and reported Old Man Chen.

“Guard Captain, this old man attacked me in the city and destroyed my equipment. Please make a ruling and do me justice!”

He shouted loudly, and everyone present heard him clearly, immediately causing an uproar!

“What? Old Man Chen can also destroy other people’s equipment? That’s too abnormal!”

“Damn, who would dare to PK with him? Do they have too much equipment?”

“Damn it, God is truly unfair. He’s so old yet so strong, and I’m so handsome yet so weak. Where is the justice?!”

“Yo, yo, I told you you shouldn’t have dropped out!”

“Damn, how did two rappers sneak in? Get them out!”

“……”

The scene was slightly chaotic, but it didn’t affect the few people at the center of the storm at all.

“Grandpa… will you be arrested?”

Xiao Lu, a little scared, grasped Chen Beixuan’s hand and whispered with pursed lips.

Chen Beixuan knew it was because the game was too realistic, causing Xiao Lu to be too deeply immersed. So he reminded and comforted her at the same time.

“Silly child, this is a game. No one can arrest Grandpa. If you don’t believe me, I’ll pinky swear with you.”

He stroked Xiao Lu’s head and pinky swore with her as if no one else was around.

Happy Swordsman felt ignored and was annoyed.

Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Thomas.

“Someone! Arrest Happy Swordsman! Lock him up for a day as punishment!”

“Yes!”

Four guards stepped forward and swarmed to subdue the bewildered Happy Swordsman!

“No… Why?!”

“You should arrest Old Man Chen, why are you arresting me?!”

He reacted, furious and roaring angrily.

Thomas gave him a cold glance, then swept his gaze across the entire arena and announced loudly, “Old Man Chen is our Human Hero. His status is on par with the City Lord. Today, he was rudely provoked and challenged by Happy Swordsman. His actions were self-defense, and the destruction of equipment was Happy Swordsman’s own doing!”

“If anyone dares to provoke Chen Hero again without cause, their consequences will be the same as his!”

After speaking, he turned around, stared at Happy Swordsman, waved his hand, and said sternly, “Take him away!”

The soldiers escorted the stunned Happy Swordsman away.

Before leaving, Thomas turned and exchanged glances with Chen Beixuan, nodding subtly before leaving the arena.

The entire arena was deathly silent!

Everyone was dumbfounded, petrified on the spot!

After about ten seconds of this, the crowd instantly exploded!

“Damn it!!!!”

“Refund!!!!”

“What kind of crappy game is this? I’m not playing anymore!”

“My goodness, this is allowed?”

“Status comparable to the City Lord? You might as well just become a god! Damn it!”

“Waaah, where’s my knife? I’m going to hack the game designer to death!”

“That guard captain’s last look was very abnormal. There’s definitely something wrong here!”

“Inside job! Absolutely an inside job!”

“Brothers, follow me and storm the Myriad Realms official website! Demand an explanation!”

“……”

All the players in the arena were furious, wishing they could skin the game designer alive.

Why the designer and not Old Man Chen?

The reason was simple.

Because… they couldn’t defeat him…

Chen Beixuan spread his hands. When you’re out and about, you need connections.

And connections are mostly earned through strength.

In short, if you’re weak, practice more!

Having resolved the challenger issue, Chen Beixuan began looking for challenge targets for Xiao Lu.
