Chapter 270: The first win
Chapter 270: The first win
Neatwit , after going berserk, barely completed level 64 , and by a stroke of pure luck , he completed level 65 , after two of his hits were critical hits on the monster. But failed to continue after level 65.
Luckily for him however, Hammerhead fell short of the clock by just a fraction on floor 64. With only one monster left at red hp bar , he failed to advance. That officially made Neatwit a silver medal contender , while a bronze was gauranteed for him personally.
The headquarters watching the event went on a rollercoaster of emotions , they became sad when Neatwit failed level 65. Becoming extremely anxious about the advancing hammerhead, and regretting about him not beating parallax.
However the moment hammerhead failed level 64, the entire HQ went into a uproar of cheers. Silver was gauranteed for Japan now. The very first event and they had secured a medal!
The name Neatwit was ringing across all Japanese TV stations , he had became a national hero in a matter of moments.
To rub salt on the wound , Ethan Grey made a post on the internet tagging Mithun Ambani which read ” Glad to have such talents in my country “.
To general public it seemed like a exchange of barbs between two trillionare’s , however only those who knew the true identity of Neatwit understood the meaning behind Ethan’s words.
Ambani was livid , however his legitimate son was even more livid , as he broke stuff all over the office room. Uttering gibberish like ” I’m the true blood , I’m his real son , but he has more fame , more talents and even more shares of the company than I do….. This is not fair , not fair! “.
In his breaking spree , where he punched through a tv , he accidentally hurt his wrists which were profousely bleeding now , and he started to scream ” Aghhh , my hand , my hand “.
Ambani looked at his son in pity , and then for the first time in his life , he regretted the decision of mistreating Neatwit and Naomi , they were his blood , and talented one’s at that. If only they were by his side and not the enemies …. Now he was stuck with his trash of a son.

Derek Ray : Wow Lee what a performance by hammerhead and Neatwit , as things stand they both have won medals , only two contestants left now In the competition Lee , Shakuni and Parallax.
Lee Dixon : I think it’s a done deal Derek , Parallax is at level 69! 69! And the guy is still going Derek , miles ahead of his peers, the guy is in a league of his own. Gold medal no doubt.
Derek Ray: Well Lee , I have to agree with you , it does seem like insurmountable odds , but untill it’s over nothing is certain. Shakuni , is at level 52 now , still going up.
Lee Dixon : With all respect Derek , I’m sure he is a great guild leader and a talented player and all , however 17 levels , he is 17 levels behind , damn it , if climbing 17 was soo easy , hell I’d be there right now.
Derek Ray : Well , we will find out in time won’t we …. Ohh wait , Parallax just cleared level 69 , he is now on floor 70! The guy is a beast!
Lee Dixon : What in the world Derek , unbelievable , this guys is unstoppable , if he clears level 70 , then from level 71 , level 90 monsters would attack him ! Level 90! I’m not sure that even a party of average players can take on a level 90 monster. And he will fight it solo.
Derek Ray : Well things don’t look too good for Parallax though Lee , he has 3 monsters left and only 20 seconds to go , I think this is where he stops.
Lee Dixon : let’s see Lee , I’m sure the world is in awe of this man , can he go onto level 71?
The answer was no
Parallax , could not clear level 70 and beat the clock. He was eliminated at level 70 .
Derek Ray : What a guy , Lee , what a performance , Gold medal as it stands , and probably gold medal it will be. Ireland must be celebrating right now , their countrymen did them proud.
Lee Dixon : well it all comes down to Shakuni now , how far will he go? , Can he clear the deathtrap called the fifties? Can he atleast put on a valiant effort and reach level 60? ,with the world watching , he is the last contender for the first event of the first ever VR Olympics , stay tuned to find out!
Rudra was currently at level 55 , he was seemingly having no trouble , his breathing was steady and his movements crisp , his fighting style was the same as level 11 , no pressure at all.
The monsters here were all level 70 and above , however Rudra still took only one to two slashes to deal with them. For those who were watching Parallax for a longtime objectively , although Rudra’s fighting style was slower , it was clear that he dealt superior damage .
It was not evident in the earlier levels , as everyone could one shot monsters on lower levels , but monsters at level 70 or higher? And still mentaining that same standard? This was new.
It took a minute for the commentators to realize this obvious fact , and a minute more to figure out the right words to say. As Rudra climbed onto level 57 , the words coming out of their mouth became widely different from before.
Derek Ray: You seeing this Lee , Shakuni just used two clean slashed to kill that level 75 mountain troll. Two slashes!
Lee Dixon : My mind doesn’t work Lee , Shakuni is clearly not above Parallax in terms of levels , even if we assume that he is at level 81 , which we don’t know if he is or not , the level of damage he is dishing out is just insane.
Derek Ray : Well , I’ll be the first one to admit it here folks , things are not over yet. Shakuni is still going, let’s see how far can he really make it! Level 58!
