"What’s the matter, Brother Yuan? Are you full already?" Xiao Hua asked him after noticing that he’d stopped eating the food.
"No... not yet..." Yuan quickly returned to stuffing food into his mouth, but his ears remained perked and focused on the group of yers behind him, as he was curious about this ’yer Yuan’ they were mentioning. Surely, they must be talking about someone else who has the same name as him, right? After all, it’s not umon for people to have the same name in games nowadays, as they have removed the ’unrepeatable names’ limit for most games these days, allowing yers to have whatever name they want without the frustration of changing names because someone had already picked the name before them.
"Though, this yer Yuan sure is quite the mystery. Anyone with a working brain would not hide their existence when there’s so much fame to their name. If he continues to hide his identity, people will eventually forget about him, wasting this massive opportunity to be famous."
"Do you think yer Yuan is actually someone within the Legacy?"
"That’s not possible. Everyone in the Legacy has already announced their identity in the game to the world, and we know that it’s not possible for one person to have two different characters in this game even if they buy two consoles."
"It doesn’t matter who this yer Yuan is! As long as there’s a bounty for his head, everyone will be aiming to PK him!"
’Good heavens, what on earth did this yer Yuan do to make the yers so angry?’ Yuan silently pondered to himself as he listened to the yers talk.
A few minutester, when Yuan could no longer contain his curiosity, he turned around and spoke to the yers, "Excuse me, can you tell me more about this yer Yuan? What did he do to make the others want to yer Kill him?"
Hearing his question, the yers looked at him with a weird expression.
"Hm? You don’t know about yer Yuan? Have you not been on the intetely? Even people who don’t y the game know about him!" One of them said to them.
"Unfortunately, I haven’t..." Yuan said with a bitter smile.
"Well, yer Yuan is a mysterious yer who has been dominating the game with an impossibly fast progression recently, and there are even usations of him being a cheater."
"A cheater?" Yuan’s eyes widened with surprise. How does one even cheat in this game?
"Is that why people want to PK him? Because he’s cheating?" He then asked.
"That’s only one of many reasons why people want him dead. Well, the biggest reason is that they envy this yer Yuan, who is akin to a god-like existence in this game at this current moment."
"God-like existence?" Yuan expressed awe.
"Of course. He not only has a Divine-grade technique but also a Divine-grade servant! And it hasn’t even been that long since the gameunched! It’s no wonder people are calling him a cheater! How else can you progress that fast?!"
"Eh...?" Yuan’s eyes widened with shock after hearing such words. A Divine-grade technique and a Divine-grade servant?
He slowly turned to look at Xiao Hua and swallowed nervously. Surely, it must only be some kind of coincidence...
When the yers saw Yuan’s bewildered reaction, they allughed loudly, "Hahaha! We know exactly how you feel, young man! We also felt the same when we first heard it!"
"However, this yer Yuan is not only powerful, but he’s also incredibly rich, as he’d obtained over 1,000,000 gold coins not long ago, bing the first person to enter the Wealth Leaderboards!"
"And he even soloed this dungeon recently!"
"..."
Yuan began sweating profusely at their words.
’Heavens! They are really talking about me!’ He cried inwardly after this realization.
"I-I see..." Yuan tried his best to remain calm and said to them, "Thank you for this information, I will now also keep my eyes out for this yer Yuan..."
"Good luck, buddy! We’ll also try our best to find and kill this yer Yuan! But because almost every yer is currently looking for him, it won’t be that easy!" The yers said to him with bright smiles all over their faces, and they left the restaurant shortlyter.
"..."
Yuan quickly turned around and continued eating with his back soaked in cold sweat.
’What the hell?! I am definitely not a cheater! How dare people use me of cheating when they don’t even know anything?!’
It was at this moment that Yuan swore to keep his identity a secret from the other yers, as it would be disastrous if people knew of his real identity. And even if he was powerful enough to defeat other yers, he did not want to fight every yer that crosses paths with him in the future.
’Why have things be soplicated now? Why must I be hunted by every yer in the world because I got a little bit lucky? I only want to enjoy this game like everyone else!’ Yuan sighed inwardly.
However, this situation is something he cannot control, and he could only hope that people will soon forget about him.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hua and Luo Li silently stared at Yuan with a contemting expression, almost as though they were unable toprehend Yuan’s conversation with the other yers just now. However, they quickly gave up a few secondster and continued eating as though it wasn’t their concern.
An hourter, Yuan rubbed his round stomach with a satisfied expression. "Ahh, that was amazing..."
Luo Li chuckled and said to him, "What’s even more amazing is Daoist Yuan’s stomach. I did not think you would really eat everything, and I apologize for doubting your ability."
"Young Lady, the bill will be 6 gold coins..." The server said to her afterward.
"I will have someone bring the money overter," she nodded.
A few minutester, all of the servers and even the cooks in the restaurant came outside to bow to them.
"We thank Young Lady and her friends for their patronage." They said to them.
"What should we do now, Daoist Yuan?" Luo Li asked him after they left the restaurant.
"Let’s return to the Lord’s Manor. I’m too full to do anything right now." Yuan said to her.
"Very well." She nodded.
