In the World Plaza.
Yamaguchi Mura Chicken sat on a bench near the restroom, silently waiting for his respawn time.
It wasn't that he didn't want to go inside to watch player livestreams.
Mainly because lying inside would cost Invasion Points.
Due to investing 500 Invasion Points in Mei Magogoko's livestream last time, he didn't have many Invasion Points left now.
So.
This time he couldn't even afford cup noodles.
What lay before him was a small bottle of mineral water and a pack of Weilong spicy strips.
A specialty snack from the Celestial Empire.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Yamaguchi Mura Chicken had to say, they were really delicious!
Why didn't his Sakura country have such delicious food?
Yamaguchi Mura Chicken felt regretful about this.
White flashes of light occasionally appeared in the central plaza, with shadowy figures moving around. This phenomenon had been going on for quite some time.
Yamaguchi Mura Chicken knew.
Those were players respawning from Sakura Island's No. 6 Novice Village.
"Is the battle so intense?"
"I wonder how Magogoko is doing..."
"But since I haven't seen Magogoko respawn, she must be fighting fiercely against the black dragon!"
Yamaguchi Mura Chicken firmly believed.
Because his Magogoko was a genius mage!
Intermittent discussions drifted over:
"What? Our Novice Village is gone?"
"Has the respawn permission been transferred to No. 1 Novice Village? Damn it! Our No. 6 Novice Village was much stronger!"
"It's all because of that evil dragon. It roasted us for so long that we all entered the death state."
...
Yamaguchi Mura Chicken felt increasingly uneasy as he listened.
What did it mean that No. 6 Novice Village was gone?
Could Novice Villages actually disappear in this "game"?
Their No. 1 Novice Village had fought monsters for so long without any issues.
Just then, two Sakura players from No. 6 Novice Village passed by.
Yamaguchi Mura Chicken put on a smile and called out to them with his questions.
"Hello! What did you just mean? What's the connection with No. 1 Novice Village?"
The two players from Sakura Island's No. 6 Novice Village were still angry and barely wanted to answer Yamaguchi Mura Chicken's questions.
However, following the principle of not hitting someone with a smiling face.
They reluctantly explained:
"A black dragon flew over our Novice Village, spewed Dragon Breath for more than two hours, and that was it."
"All players collectively entered respawn waiting, all buildings in the Novice Village were damaged, and the Novice Village was gone."
"Now we can only respawn from No. 1 Novice Village."
"You were defeated? Where's Magogoko?"
Yamaguchi Mura Chicken asked anxiously.
He no longer cared about the Novice Village; he was only concerned about Mei Magogoko's situation.
"Huh? You mean that slut? She was captured by monsters long ago. Who knows what state she's in now."
"It's a pity, I never got to discuss magic with her. Last time it was my turn, but I drank too much and passed out, hahaha..."
At the mention of Mei Magogoko, the two Sakura players couldn't help but reveal lewd smiles.
One of the players who had "discussed magic" with Mei Magogoko even vividly described the experience, occasionally making appreciative "tsk tsk" sounds.
They didn't notice that Yamaguchi Mura Chicken's face had gradually turned red, trending toward purple.
"Baka! Shut up!"
"You're all talking nonsense! My Magogoko is not that kind of woman!"
The two Sakura players were already in a bad mood, and being yelled at by Yamaguchi Mura Chicken made them feel even worse.
They no longer showed any courtesy to Yamaguchi Mura Chicken.
Everyone selected to enter the "game" was an equal player; no one was inferior to anyone else.
"Oh? From your tone, you're one of Mei Magogoko's pursuers? Do you know how many players Mei Magogoko 'discusses magic' with in one night?"
The player sneered, raising his hand to show five fingers.
"Fifty."
"I wonder if you've ever 'discussed magic' with Mei Magogoko?"
"Oh~ You're a new face, from No. 1 Novice Village, right? ID Yamaguchi Mura Chicken?"
The Sakura player suddenly realized, revealing a mocking smile, looking at Yamaguchi Mura Chicken with pity.
"That day during Mei Magogoko's livestream, she suddenly asked us to stop. We asked her why."
"Guess what she said?"
Yamaguchi Mura Chicken's face turned pale. His lips trembled, and his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned blue.
"She said some loser spent 500 Invasion Points to enter her livestream just to talk to her online, and she should at least fulfill that small request."
"Someone named Chicken something."
The player moved closer to Yamaguchi Mura Chicken, face to face, continuing in a sarcastic tone:
"Could it be that loser was you?"
"Tsk, how pitiful."
"Ah! Baka, I'm dead, I'm dead! I'm going to kill you!"
Yamaguchi Mura Chicken went berserk.
With bloodshot eyes, he pounced on the No. 6 Novice Village player, trying to bite him.
However, his level was only comparable to the two players, and even with slightly better equipment, his physical attributes were fairly suppressed by the World Plaza, resulting in him getting beaten badly.
The two players were merciless and about to beat Yamaguchi Mura Chicken to death when a cold electronic voice suddenly echoed throughout the World Plaza.
[Warning: ID Yamaguchi Mura Chicken, ID Muto Kiyono, ID Matsuoka Isamu]
[Fighting is prohibited in the World Plaza]
[For the first fight, only a warning is issued. The initiator must pay Invasion Points to the attacked party to recover injuries. If the fight results in death, the attacker will be deducted 500,000 Invasion Points as punishment. If there are insufficient Invasion Points, elimination!]
"Tch, what stupid rules."
Muto Kiyono stomped on Yamaguchi Mura Chicken's face a couple more times.
Very reluctantly, he paid the medical fees as required by the system.
"Kiyono-kun, let's go, it's respawn time."
"Alright, coming."
Muto Kiyono replied.
He crouched down, grabbing Yamaguchi Mura Chicken's hair.
Carefully examining Yamaguchi Mura Chicken's bruised face, he smiled with satisfaction.
"Loser, tui!"
A glob of thick phlegm landed on Yamaguchi Mura Chicken's face.
Then, Muto Kiyono turned and left.
Leaving Yamaguchi Mura Chicken alone, head down, collapsed in the corner.
"Magogoko, wuwuwu... my Magogoko..."
"You lied to me, deceived me..."
"Then I can only, only die with you hehehe... hehehe hahaha..."
In the dark corner.
Yamaguchi Mura Chicken emitted an eerie laugh.
Passing players who heard this cold laughter turned to look, involuntarily shuddering.
They immediately quickened their pace. """ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
