Chapter 14: Version Update?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Lin Jian died, the dilapidated conference room fell into silence.

Everyone’s attention was on Link. It was like they were waiting for him to say something.

They had experienced an unforeseen event and were unable to protect themselves. Thus, they subconsciously looked for something they could rely on. They previously relied on Principal Lin Jian and his security team. Now that Lin Jian had died, they placed their hopes on Link.

However, Link didn’t seem to realize this. He stood on the broken half of the corridor’s balcony and looked into the distance without saying a word.

His silence made the others look at each other. They didn’t know what to say.

Thankfully, Yang Xuerou walked in at this moment. Her kindness and warm heart gave these sorry children a sense of motherly care.

Soon, a series of sobbing sounds could be heard in the corner.

...

“There are still ten more days!” Link narrowed his eyes and looked beyond the limits of his vision.

Today was the first day of [Doomsday Online]. According to his memories of his previous life, the number of tragic deaths in Blue Star reached one-fifth of its total population on this day.

That was twenty-plus billion! It seemed like a lot, but Link knew this was just the beginning. This was just an insignificant beginning.

Ten days later, all human settlements in this world, large or small, would face the first monster siege after [Doomsday Online] began!

If one had to describe this siege using the standards of online games, it would be... version update! But in actual fact, it was a thorough bloody elimination round.

Bloody rivers were no longer enough to describe the tragic battlefields. Only those who survived were qualified to accept further challenges.

After the first siege ended, the era of dark creatures temporarily ended. What welcomed the humans next was the Zerg Swarm nightmare.

Although many dark creatures had invaded Dragon City, they were not powerful enough. As long as one found the right method, even novice [Doomsday Online] players could deal with all the monsters except Undead Knights.

When the best of them rose above the rest and killed more low-level monsters, they would level up and become more powerful. Soon, there would be a person who would be able to hold their own against the Undead Knights.

In his previous life, Dragon City also organized a private army composed of powerful [Doomsday Online] players. They established a safe zone in the center of Dragon City in just a few days, providing the survivors a place to live.

They were once full of confidence, thinking they would be able to drive the dark creatures out and liberate Dragon City sooner or later.

But when the day of the monster siege arrived, they realized how naive they were.

Numerous dark creatures flooded the city like the tide. There was no end to them.

Was there 100,000? One million? Or ten million?

Nobody knew because most of the people had died.

In this huge army of dark creatures, the Undead Knights were the most insignificant ones. There were even stronger monsters like Evil Bone Beasts, Undead Archers, Dark Priests, Necromancers...

The most powerful of them all was the stage-four Evil General! It was not something that players could go against at that stage.

Dragon City fell, and the survivors migrated to other cities nearby. A lot of them died on the way.

According to statistics from the next generation, 98% of the entire Blue Star’s cities completely fell that day.

The settlements which humans depended on for survival became ruins. A large number of [Doomsday Online] players had to establish camps in the dangerous wild and led precarious lives.

As for Link—who was severely wounded in that battle—was down and out.

“Heaven gave me a chance to start over again. I will definitely not repeat the same mistakes in this life!” His thoughts drifted further and further, and he became a little distracted.

He didn’t even notice when Yang Xuerou came beside him.

“Link!” Yang Xuerou called out again.

“Huh?” Link recovered from his distraction and smiled apologetically. “Sorry, I got distracted!” Then, he asked, “Teacher Yang, what did you say just now?”

Yang Xuerou repeated herself. “The principal is dead. What do we do next? Everyone is waiting for you to say something!”

Hearing that, Link looked around the room subconsciously and realized that everyone had their eyes on him.

They had glimmers of hope in their eyes!

After pondering for a while, he stepped in.

Yang Xuerou walked beside him while Angel Yuna followed behind him.

When Link entered the conference room, a flash of tension and hope appeared in surviving teachers’ and students’ eyes.

“Do you want to live?”

The question he asked confused everyone.

“Link, what kind of question is that? Who would want to die? Besides, didn’t you kill all those monsters?” said Qiao Ruowei.

At this moment, she had already washed the dust off her face. A few wet strands of hair stuck to her forehead, adding some delicate charm to her bare, beautiful face. She looked at Link with a smile on her face, as if she was joking.

Hearing what she said, the others couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

Link was unmoved. He looked at her seriously. “Do you think I’m joking with you?”

“I...” Qiao Ruowei froze. She was fearful of Link’s seriousness.

“Also, why are all of you smiling?” Link looked at the others and smiled sarcastically. “You don’t really think that everything is over like this!”

“Link? What do you mean?” Trembling, a timid girl among the crowd asked, “Aren’t the monsters all dead?”

Link bluntly said, “All dead? Indeed, if you are all so naive, you will all be dead soon!”

Everyone’s expressions changed instantly.

It was as if they didn’t understand why their savior, Link, appeared so cold toward them in the blink of an eye.

“You have two choices. One is to be loyal to me. From now on, you will do whatever I want you to do! If you are not willing, I won’t force you. Resign to your own fate!”

Hearing this, the crowd suddenly went into an uproar.

“What? Loyalty?” Everyone looked at each other at a loss.

“Who are you to curse us to die?” someone said, unwilling to submit.

“What era are we in? You’re still so backward. Do you want to be a feudal lord?” Some people sneered.

“That’s right! You can’t talk like this, even if you can fight!”

“To think we still treated you as a hero. I didn’t expect you to be such a person... When the top leaders investigate the cause of the principal’s death, don’t expect us to testify for you!”

Hearing the crowd’s comments, Link’s expression remained unchanged. He had a thorough understanding of human nature. This little unrest didn’t affect his disposition, not even by a bit.

At this moment, Xue Linglong stepped forward and asked with uncertainty, “Link, do you know something?”

Qiao Ruowei spoke up for Link as well. “That’s right. Everyone, calm down and hear Link out. He’s not the type of person to speak without thinking!”

“What more is there to say? I’ve seen plenty of such people. He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he’s a little stronger than others. Everyone, let’s go. I can’t be bothered with him!” A male student wearing glasses walked out and snorted at Link.
