Chapter 37: Chapter 36 Only I am the loser_l

Translator: 549690339

Inside the Players Association, there was a constant stream of people. Most of them were new players from this season.

New players, who didn’t intend to compete for the status of Lord, had almost all relocated to safe cities, where they no longer had to worry about survival. They didn’t have to live in fear anymore, and their spirits were no longer oppressed. However, the newbies soon realized that while choosing a simple, worry-free life spared them from danger, if they wanted to grow stronger and truly wield supernatural power, they still faced a difficult journey.

They still had to go out and hunt, earning a little bit of Soul Sand.

They still had to pay the rent for the Eternal World and lease tangible goods from the Altar from Lord Players.

They were still working-class folks, leading a hard life with limited income. After a lot of newbies familiarized themselves with the forum, they realized that ordinary players without background, talent, or luck also had a tough time.

Unless they chose to give it all up and lead a simple life.

Some veteran players were still weak after two and a half years of playing.

However,

If they could join bigger powers and be nurtured, they could rise rapidly. Even if not, they could earn a stable salary and steadily improve while holding a secure job.

These were the people ordinary players envied.

The person called “One-Handed Information Dealer” who promised “no middlemen making profit” was a famous figure among the newbies. It was said that he was also a big figure among the veteran players.

After all, all the posts made by One-Handed Dealer in the newbie area were officially certified. This was treatment that ordinary players just couldn’t receive.

“Working for One-Handed Dealer’s company? I envy you. Not only is the income high, but the job is also safe and relaxing.”

Miss White Fox couldn’t hide her jealousy.

Just a while ago, all of them were struggling in the same situation.

Mu Yuan, Old Brother Mai Wa, White Fox, and Liver Emperor had been in contact over the past few days. They even agreed to meet here yesterday. All that was missing was Liver Emperor, probably because he had been gaming until the middle of the night again.

Seeing that Old Brother Mai Wa seemed to have some inside information, Mu Yuan decided to subtly probe him.

“I’m not sure exactly how many spots we have for this term’s Baijiang Assessment Point. It could be anywhere between ten to twenty. After all, I’m just an intern… But, I do know some information about the top new players.” “See that guy over there, the chubby one whose forum ID is ‘I’m not unlucky’? He’s the lucky player of this season, started out with three three-star Skeleton Soldiers… These particular Skeleton Soldiers are the best of the three-star troops. They’re fearless in battle and don’t have as many quirks as Goblins. Thanks to this spectacular start, his troop army swelled rapidly and must now number in the tens if not twenties. He is a strong candidate for this round’s spots.”

“You see that macho man over there? His ID is Macho Man. He only started with a regular bunch of Goblins and is otherwise an ordinary man. But he is a fighting powerhouse; he has killed many monsters singlehandedly, and it’s said even three-star monsters like the Grizzly Bear have been slain by him… This is a man who could tear three-star soliders apart with his bare hands!” Mu Yuan had noticed this person quite early.

He was too eye-catching, with a towering, muscular physique. His well-defined, exposed muscles, coiled like pythons, and his shiny bald head, reflected the identity of a formidable powerhouse. He sat there, like a mini giant, exuding a terrifying aura.

“Are you sure he isn’t a superpower?”

“Of course, his muscles may seem overdone, but they’re not impossible for any regular person who works hard. If he were a superpower awakened from birth, his abilities would be much more remarkable. He’s still just an ordinary man.” Mu Yuan then looked down at his own smaller frame.

He had become much stronger over the past few days, and you could vaguely see his six-pack, but…he felt that if he were to fight that Macho Man, one punch would have him kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

This is what they mean by ordinary?

Mu Yuan fell silent.

In comparison, he was just an ordinary player with a slight evolving ability.

“Among the ordinary players, those two probably have the best chance of getting a spot. But it’s still early, most players have not made their names yet, and there could be dark horses.”

Upon saying this, Old Brother Mai Wa couldn’t help but ask, “Brother, if I’m not mistaken, you’re planning to compete for a spot this time too, aren’t you?”

Mu Yuan nodded. There was no need to hide this.

Miss White Fox:”???”.

So you’re a big shot too, huh? Am I the only one who’s out of luck?!

Old Brother Mai Wa wasn’t surprised, “Brother Mu showed his strength on the first day by bringing out the remnant soul, no one would miss such an opportunity to take a stab at becoming the Lord.

“I’ve thought about taking a shot too, getting the welfare quota, passing the Lord Trial, recruiting beautiful heroes, leading an invincible army to the top of eternity… Sadly, it’s merely a pipe dream, I just don’t have what it takes.” Old Brother Mai Wa sighed and said to Mu Yuan, “Brother, keep up the good work, fight for us ordinary players.”

“Yeah, you should know that the biggest competition for this quota is those rich second generation whales.”

“That one, the heir to our Baijiang Property. Although he’s not a second-generation player, his family is rich. I heard that he has spent an ambitious amount of money purchasing various resources, buying dozens of Remnant Souls of Three-star Troops alone.”

“And that guy in the yellow, he’s a standard second-generation player. His brother is a veteran player. I heard that this big shot had cleared a Goblin Camp on the sixth day with minimal losses.”

“That girl in white is a second-generation player from the adjacent Dongming City. Not only does she have veteran player relatives, but her family also runs a big company, she’s a bona fide rich woman. Of course, what matters isn’t that she is wealthy, the fact that she has been able to defeat a rare-level monster-even if that particular monster hasn’t reached Professional level—is rather significant.”

“And then there’s this one… and that one… and also that one…”

Old Brother Mai Wa outlined numerous pieces of information about these notorious whales.

These aren’t really secrets. Compared to ordinary players, the whales are more showy. Plus, no one can keep a low profile when they’re buying up all kinds of resources.”

Mu Yuan considered these whales’ informations, forming a rough idea of the competition in his mind.

Old Brother Mai Wa thought Mu Yuan was silent because he was disheartened, thus comforting him, “Don’t be discouraged, brother. It’s normal that we ordinary players can’t compete with the whales at the beginning stages. But you don’t have to directly compete with these whales. As long as you can get a slot, the treatment for the first or the tenth is the same.”

“Moreover, with your abilities, even if you can’t become a Lord, you’ll still excel among the players.”

Mu Yuan was, of course, not disheartened. He was just deciding which type of troops to use.

He definitely wouldn’t send out the Dead Bone. And ‘Bone Two’, now a Skeleton Warrior, he didn’t plan to summon it either.

But not be too low-key either. Only by showing off his talents appropriately could he access more opportunities. After all, there were also Whales and players with recessive talents among the ordinary players. Being a little stronger was within reason and would not lead to coveting.

Having said that, his talents might be a bit stronger than what others expect.

Since this is the case, he would go with this lineup.

He contemplated, while Miss White Fox came to his defense.

“Isn’t this selection process a bit unfair to us ordinary players?”

Old Brother Mai Wa nodded then shook his head, “It does seem a little unfair, but money is a kind of power after all. Besides, from what I understand, Xuan Country’s strong support for newbie Lord is because they want to see more territories emerge, to expand our country’s influence in the Eternal Continent.” ‘Whether they’re ordinary players or whales, it’s all the same to the country, as long as they’re Lords of Xuan Country.”

Layer by layer, the Association was getting crowded with players.

The Liver Emperor arrived as well, sporting his distinct dark circles under his eyes, looking as if he might drop dead at any moment.

“Did I oversleep again?”

He scratched his head.

A few of them walked toward the assessment area. Soon, it would be time for the candidates to draw their exam numbers.

With a hopeful gaze from Old Brother Mai Wa, Mu Yuan went up to draw his number.

The Liver Emperor followed suit, drawing his number as well.

Miss White Fox:”????”

She looked at Liver Emperor with his black circles, Mai Wa who already worked for a big business, and the dashing Mo Yuan. A question mark slowly appeared on her forehead.

Am I the only noob here?!
