Free Web NovelChapter 1339: Chapter 1336: She’s Just Too Eye-Catching
Chloe Winston announced in the world channel that she was going to tackle the hard instance in Peach Blossom Valley. The head of the game company, Henry Lincoln, who was watching the commotion in the live stream, immediately jumped up from his chair. "What the heck? Who is this player ’Overnight White-Haired’? How do they know so much about the game?"
How could a level 35 alt account know this much? Henry quickly started shouting in the tech group.
"Did any of you leak the game’s detailed rules to your wives?"
The tech guys started to protest their innocence one by one.
"Boss, my wife doesn’t play games."
"Bro Lincoln, I know the confidentiality rules by heart."
"Boss, I’m still single. Didn’t you say we’d find a partner once we joined the company?"
"Get out of here..."
Henry checked the ID ’Overnight White-Haired’ and discovered it was registered last night. Not only did the registration bypass their system’s real-name authentication, once registered, the player triggered an unforeseen system rule detail leak that crashed the server. Now, they’re planning to clear the hard instance and unlock the level 50 cap.
Indeed, the first player to unlock the cap receives special achievements, various rewards, and a huge amount of experience. If this player clears the hard instance, they could really level up to 50.
Henry felt the situation was becoming serious. If this player kept leaking internal secrets, it could cause a lot of chaos in the game.
After eliminating the company’s internal staff as possibilities, the only one left who might know was Mr. Constantine himself. Could ’Overnight White-Haired’ actually be Mr. Constantine?
But would Mr. Constantine do live streams? He’d sooner believe the sun would rise in the west.
Henry braced himself and called Constantine Stewart’s assistant, Zheng Gu.
At this hour, Constantine had finished dinner at home and was getting ready for bed. Hearing that someone from Illusion World was looking for him, he had Zheng Gu forward the call to the study.
"Mr. Stewart, sorry to bother you so late, mainly because there’s a player in the game continuously revealing the game rules. Do you know a player by the name ’Overnight White-Haired’?" Henry asked nervously, lowering his voice and barely daring to breathe.
Constantine sat on the black seat of the study. Upon hearing this, his handsome face became somewhat inscrutable.
In the game, the message Chloe posted on the world channel instantly caused a huge stir.
Soon, many people were clicking on Chloe’s message to apply for a team.
Chloe spotted a familiar ID in the flashing team messages, "The Underpants Fell Upstairs."
Without thinking, she approved this player’s team application. If it weren’t for this guy, she wouldn’t have made over thirty thousand in one night yesterday.
As a result, "The Underpants Fell Upstairs" instantly became a target of resentment.
"Goddess, aren’t you picky. This ID is definitely a greasy guy, a zit-covered couch potato. Don’t team up with them."
"Goddess, team with me, I’m Jade-Faced Little White Dragon."
"The Underpants Fell Upstairs" sent a bunch of gifts in the live stream before cheekily typing a comment saying, "Thanks for letting me."
So a group of people spammed the chat with tanks and planes, filling the screen with "Get lost, get lost, get lost..."
Chloe wasn’t watching the live stream; she checked in-game at the other person’s equipment and skills. Surprisingly, their strength wasn’t weak, but she wasn’t sure about their skills.
"Teleport to me and let’s go unlock the hard instance," Chloe directly said into the live stream mic, without realizing the danger looming.
She played the game only because she was put on the spot during the live stream yesterday, so she didn’t have time to learn about some official game details, unaware the officials were quite perverse. They hadn’t even revealed how to break the level 50 cap, and she was anxious to gain experience to level up, so naturally, she thought of challenging the hard instance.
Having bypassed the system’s real-name authentication, she unknowingly attracted the game officials’ attention, and Henry made a call to Constantine Stewart by coincidence.
Chloe led a two-person squad directly to Peach Blossom Valley, triggering the hard instance.
On Henry’s end, he had succinctly recounted the events of the past two days, then held his breath awaiting Mr. Stewart’s judgment, feeling a chill on his neck.
Constantine picked up the phone, went straight to the media room, turned on the computer, logged into the game, and then into the live stream that Henry mentioned.
The man’s eyes, cold like icy stars, narrowed slightly. Seeing over a hundred thousand viewers in the live stream, the broadcaster hadn’t shown their face, was guiding their 50-level teammates on how to take down the boss. The voice wasn’t the sweet tone he remembered, but had a hint of a crisp contralto.
"Mr. Stewart, is this player your friend?" Henry, after waiting for a long time and feeling as though a knife were suspended above his neck, quietly asked again when Constantine gave no response.
"No." The man replied coolly, while his fingers swiftly typed on the keyboard, logging into the internal system. He checked the logs and found that indeed, someone entered the game through an internal channel yesterday, bypassing real-name authentication. The internal system login password had only been shared with one person—Chloe.
The man paused, listening to the un-sweet voice from the live stream. His handsome face darkened slightly.
Not long after, the live stream was filled with "6666666666"; the level 35 player ’Overnight White-Haired’ had led the level 50 player ’The Underpants Fell Upstairs’ to clear the hard instance, unlocking the level 50 cap, and the system announcement flooded the world channel.
Chloe leveled up directly from 35 to 50. The live stream exploded, and gifts rained down everywhere.
Constantine watched the black-clad, coldly alluring sorceress in the game standing together with the dashing Blade Guest, his handsome face expressionless, then he hung up Henry’s call, and with flying fingers, logged into the game’s internal system, issued a few commands, and the account ’Overnight White-Haired’ was banned.
"Your account has abnormal activity and has been banned by the system. If there are any issues, please contact customer service." The live stream’s game screen directly jumped to the initial interface.
Not only was Chloe dumbfounded, but even the more than a hundred thousand spectators in the live stream were shocked, and the game official, Henry Lincoln, was dumbfounded as well.
Mr. Stewart directly banned the account? Truly Mr. Stewart, swift and decisive, with an iron grip.
"What a trash game official, why ban the account?"
"What’s going on? Brother Lincoln, where’s the explanation?"
"Everything was fine, why ban the account?"
The live stream filled with voices of doubt.
Sitting in front of the computer, Chloe felt chilled to the bone. Watching the number of viewers in the live stream climb continuously, approaching one hundred and fifty thousand, she realized she had really drawn too much attention.
A little unwilling, she contacted customer service. Meanwhile, on the other end, in the Imperial City’s business circle, legendary figure Mr. Stewart lazily acted as customer service while watching the live stream, rejecting the player’s ’Overnight White-Haired’ complaint.
"You invaded the game’s internal system without completing real-name authentication, your account has abnormal activity, and your request to unban is denied."
