Free Web NovelChapter 157: The Suspected First SS Rank Player on Earth
In a single day, Fluffball went through two brutal swings from hope to despair and almost got sent straight to the afterlife.
It gnashed its teeth and said to Big Potato, "Double the bonuses this month. Tell everyone under you to work like their lives depend on it!"
"If they want to sue, let them sue. The contracts were signed in black and white. What is there to be afraid of? Also, raise the compensation package another level. I refuse to believe we cannot poach talent from outside!"
"Got it, Boss."
Big Potato added, "Also, someone from the bank just came by and asked whether we need help with cash flow..."
"Tell them to get lost!"
Fluffball snorted coldly.
Did it not know what those bloodsuckers were thinking? Trying to take advantage while it was down?
Not happening.
Even though it had already been robbed once.
While Fluffball was busy arranging company affairs, Caelum lay on the sofa and opened a livestreaming site. The moment he entered the game streaming section, a sudden shout hit him so hard his brain stalled.
"Brothers, send those big planes and big rockets flying!"
"Everyone can see where I am right now. I am in a desert somewhere in Africa, in an ungoverned zone near XXX country."
Boom!
As he spoke, a massive roar came from the background of the stream. The streamer quickly stepped aside and pointed the camera toward a desert area not far away, where a mushroom cloud was slowly rising.
"The big mushroom is planted, brothers!"
The streamer shouted at the top of his lungs. To give the viewers a clearer look, he even started running, heading closer and closer toward the place where the mushroom cloud had erupted.
Boom!
An invisible shockwave swept through, and a blast crackled through the livestream.
By then, the chat had completely lost its mind.
[Holy crap crap crap crap!]
[Is Africa at war?]
[What the hell, that really is a big mushroom!]
Boom!
Before long, another enormous mushroom cloud rose into the sky. The huge sandstorm shockwave it stirred up swept across the desert, yet it somehow failed to shake the streamer’s steps in the slightest.
The streamer’s big head reentered the frame, and he yelled again.
"Brothers, send those big planes and big rockets flying!"
Caelum had nothing to say for a moment.
"..."
Because the streamer was Aurelius.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to imagine Aurelius shouting about rockets and planes at the top of his lungs.
Caelum knew Aurelius wanted to experience life on Earth, but this was a little too thorough.
He lowered the volume.
Then Caelum watched Aurelius’s stream with great interest.
That was right.
Those two big mushrooms were nuclear bombs. They were not hydrogen bombs, but they were still extremely powerful atomic bombs. Their purpose was to destroy one particular person.
Unfortunately, the result was basically useless.
At the root of it, the cause of this incident, or at least the trigger, could be traced back to Caelum. When he displayed destructive power on Earth that surpassed an S rank disaster, every country in the world started taking action.
Cultivating an SS rank player became their highest priority, and vast amounts of resources were poured into the plan.
Some countries had practically staked everything on it, mobilizing their entire populations and sending all their citizens into the same game to concentrate resources on one chosen person.
Even then, producing an SS rank player remained extremely difficult. The consequence of doing so was that the overall quality of domestic players began to fall behind.
After all, when all resources were concentrated on one person, everyone else naturally struggled to grow at a normal rate. If they could truly raise an SS rank player, that would be one thing.
But if they failed, serious problems would appear sooner or later.
New Kirk might be full of Divine Wastelanders, with SS rank power and even higher levels of strength all over the streets, but outside New Kirk, things were different.
S rank players were still top tier powerhouses.
SS rank players were apex level existences.
The two environments could not be judged by the same standard. No matter how powerful the strength inside New Kirk was, it ultimately could not be taken out of the barrier. The SS rank plan was unquestionably necessary.
This incident had begun with one of those SS rank player cultivation plans. After mobilizing all players across the entire country, a certain African nation had actually produced an SS rank player.
The bad news was that this player immediately lost control.
In less than a day, he wiped that country completely off the African continent. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Such a massive disturbance quickly triggered a response from global disaster monitoring agencies. They launched a strike against the out of control SS rank player at the first opportunity.
Two atomic bombs fell one after another. Even with direct hits, they failed to so much as scratch his skin. SS rank represented the power to destroy a continental plate.
A mere nuclear bomb?
It was nothing more than a tickle.
[There is someone inside the mushroom cloud!]
A sharp eyed viewer immediately spotted the SS rank player within the nuclear blast. He walked out with a cold expression, the light around him bending and distorting.
It seemed that some kind of force field covered the surface of his body.
[Streamer, run!]
[He is coming toward you!]
Aurelius glanced at the man calmly, his expression perfectly composed. Then he turned back toward the camera and shouted again, "Thank you, big bro, for the ten big rockets!"
Caelum leaned back with tactical caution.
Suddenly, one figure after another streaked across the screen. Personnel from nearby disaster monitoring agencies had no choice but to step in and stop the SS rank player. If this continued, everything would be over.
Then, against the backdrop of two mushroom clouds, an explosive battle kicked off.
The sky trembled.
The earth split apart.
The fight moved from the desert all the way to the coast. One S rank player after another gave everything they had against the out of control SS rank player, raising towering waves, sending seawater surging inland, and triggering volcanic eruptions.
It looked exactly like the end of the world.
The situation could not be described as evenly matched. It was a one sided slaughter. The out of control SS rank player crushed everyone from start to finish, unstoppable and unmatched.
The footage was spectacular.
Aside from the occasional mosaic censor.
Caelum casually sent one hundred big rockets. They shot wildly across the livestream screen. Aurelius was running toward the center of the battle, the camera shaking nonstop.
Even then, he did not forget to shout, "Thank you, Disaster Spectator, for the one hundred big rockets!"
Before long, a figure flew across the livestream camera, leaving a clear trail of burning air through the sky. With a lightning fast strike, he blasted the out of control SS rank player into the sea.
Boom!
A giant wave soared into the sky.
Knock, knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
Caelum exited the stream. When he opened the door, he saw a middle aged man in a delivery uniform.
"Hello, are you Caelum?"
"Yes."
"You have a package."
Click.
Not far away, a young man hidden in the shadows pressed the shutter on his camera and captured Caelum’s face. Then he took out a notebook and wrote down a series of notes.
