“This Water-Splitting Assassin, Ninth Master, deserves to die!”

In the room, Lin Jie, who was excited by the new skill he could use after his Sea Riding Skill, was leveled up, shouted angrily after seeing a video on the forum .
This video recorded the battle between Qiu Yuan and Ninth Master, but it was shot from a far distance, and hence it was not so clear . However, the intention of the photographer was absolutely dangerous! He had deliberately cut off the clip of the last stage when Ninth Master attacked Qiu Yuan at her chest, making countless players think that she had been attacked successfully . What’s more, the video continued with Ninth Master smelling his finger after his victory .
This was clearly to blacken Qiu Yuan’s name!
Lin Jie gritted his teeth . Qiu Yuan was just as important to him as Bu Yi, Netherblue, and Ziliang . They were the most important part of his life . Although she was open and cheerful, her heart was as crisp as glass .
If Qiu Yuan saw that video…
At that thought, Lin Jie quickly found the video’s publisher, An Xiaoran, the “beautiful reporter” who was dedicated to attracting people’s attention with various Leaderboard news and gossip .
At that moment, An Xiaoran was comfortably leaning on one of Sakura Pub’s sofas . She loved that place very much . She only needed to spend dozens of silver coins in order to stay for a day and a night . Even if she did not order wine, the owner, Sakura, would not chase her away . Hence, she used this place as her studio .
Her dress, as what was spread on the Internet, was very exposed . In the era of Junior Mo, An Xiaoran had made her way and name by taking advantage of her hot body, beautiful face, and all kinds of gossip . However, it was not the right way to rely solely on her sexy photos . She had become a news reporter by collecting the information of all players to come out with a Leaderboard .
An Xiaoran sports vest set off her breast, and her long legs were resting on the sofa, fully showcasing her lazy temperament . An Xiaoran checked the number of clicks of the post excitedly, and when she saw the clicks increasing quickly, she was overjoyed .
Sure enough, men paid a lot of attention to that kind of mysterious girl .
“Should I arrange more people to capture their videos? I heard that Codename Lone Wolf has an affair with Bu Yi, who obtained the Epic Mount . If I can get more gossips, it will be fun . ” An Xiaoran chuckled . As she was just about to arrange people for that, her message notification rang .
Her message notification was only open to famous players .

“Delete the video . ”
The cold voice came . It was the Brotherhood’s leader, Codename Lone Wolf!
‘The big fish is hooked . ’ An Xiaoran was secretly happy, but she pretended to be confused and asked, “It’s my honor to meet you, Leader Lone Wolf . I don’t know what you’re talking about . Why not let me buy you a drink, and we can talk slowly?”
Lin Jie sneered and said, “Drink with a b*tch like you? I’m afraid it will only sully my reputation . I’ll give you a choice, delete the video immediately, and I’ll allow you to live with your groundless Leaderboard . Otherwise, you won’t be able to live in The New Age . ”
“You!” An Xiaoran’s breath became heavier . She did not expect Lone Wolf to be so domineering . Thus, she said hatefully, “I can’t live in The New Age? Lone Wolf, don’t assume you can cover the sky with one hand just because you support Junior Mo . I’ll give you a choice, too . Arrange me as the exclusive reporter of Savage Blade, and I’ll delete the video immediately and upload praising posts for you on a daily basis . Otherwise, prepare to suffer! The sharpest weapon is not the sword, but the pen . Do you understand?”
“You released this video to blackmail me, right? Can both of us be benefited from your offer?” Lin Jie’s voice was very calm .
An Xiaoran frowned, held her breath, and waited for Lin Jie’s answer . She had searched a lot about Codename Lone Wolf . This player cared most about interests, and could even cooperate with his opponents for that . Hence, the Brotherhood had achieved such great success . Therefore, although An Xiaoran was mean, she had left some room . There were only benefits and no harm for Lone Wolf to recruit herself .
Lone Wolf already had Junior Mo under his control . If he recruited her, Lone Wolf would be able to control a majority of the public opinion! Lone Wolf could not refuse such a good deal! As An Xiaoran thought of it there, she was very confident and waited for good news from Lin Jie .
“You don’t deserve to be a reporter . With this video you’ve released, you’re bringing about your own destruction . To be honest, even if you delete the video, I’ll still erase you from the game . You cannot afford to provoke people from Savage Blade!” Lin Jie’s merciless sarcastic comment came from the communication device, like a huge palm, slapping hard on An Xiaoran’s face .
An Xiaoran’s face turned fierce, and she said coldly, “Lone Wolf, let’s wait and see! I’m the host of this final battle . I’ll see how you can cut off my news!”
“That’s not news, it’s a b*tch farting and attracting a bunch of flies . ” Lin Jie left a message and hang up .
An Xiaoran smashed her glass on the ground and grabbed the communication device . “Ninth Master, Ninth Master! Call up your brother and look into all the females of Savage Blade!”

The forum exploded in discussion for the rest of the day .
It was due to a series of posts: “Detailed information of An Xiaoran”, “Private photos of An Xiaoran”, “A hundred stories about An Xiaoran and I”, “Revealing the so-called beauty reporter”…
Hundreds of such posts had come out in an instant!
The beautiful reporter, An Xiaoran, had made dozens of well-received Leaderboards, such as the Beauty Leaderboard, Equipment Leaderboard, Jobs Leaderboard, and so on . Although the authenticity was difficult to determine, it still attracted the attention of the players .
In addition, with a sweet voice, the pictures of her hot body and beautiful face were attractive as well . Many players would click on her posts just to save her photos at the end of the posts . Over time, An Xiaoran’s position had climbed in the mind of players . There was even a saying: “Go to Junior Mo for news, and go to An Xiaoran for gossips . ”
An Xiaoran’s influence was evident .
However, her real-life information was well hidden . Someone had tried to search for her by comparing photos but found nothing except some high school files . It seemed that she had changed her name or nationality .
Presently, the posts related to An Xiaoran were like the growth of bamboo shoots after a spring rain . Not only her real-life information, photos, and measurements were published, but also her exes and current boyfriends… Besides that, many articles and pictures discrediting her were published on the forum . In only an hour, there were more than 1,000 theme posts .
All of the posters had a prefix: Mo .
They were under Junior Mo . However, it was hard to tell what was true on the Internet, and many people would fake the name of famous guilds or organizations for deceptions . Hence, the person himself must be contacted if something went wrong . Unfortunately, Junior Mo’s appendicitis had burst 2 hours prior to the incident, and he had gone to the hospital . He could not go online for some time .
An Xiaoran’s lungs were about to explode with anger . She had just talked to Lone Wolf haughtily, but only an hour later, tons of discredit posts were thrown to the forum . How could such a coincidence be possible? Moreover, the ‘Mo Army’ was huge, which made the administrator’s work harder—he was too busy to handle all the posts . Countless disgusting photos were manually stuck on top, causing An Xiaoran dare not open her eyes .
“Lone Wolf, you’re so despicable!” An Xiaoran trembled with anger . “When this thing becomes widespread, Junior Mo will surely come out and blacklist all these players in the name of ‘deliberately blackening the name of Mo Family’ . No one will suffer from losses but me . Damn it . ”
Of course, Lin Jie had orchestrated all this .
In Lin Jie’s mind, one had to use b*tchy methods to deal with a b*tch . When one spoke openly in the forum, An Xiaoran would sneer at them and discredit them with all the edited information she had gathered . Now, this was the best way to deal with her…
In order to get gossip and secret information in the game, An Xiaoran would often offer dirty deals to others . Anyway, this would not affect herself in the real world…
Occasionally, among numerous posts, An Xiaoran would post explanations . Unfortunately, those few posts were weak, and there were no pretty photos of her attached at the end of the posts as usual . Hence, no one was willing to click on them . As the viewers had come to see her photos, they’d better go and see other exposing posts…
Gradually, the public opinion in the forum exaggerated the incident of An Xiaoran getting the news by selling her body . In the end, it became a scandal of “Beautiful reporter is selling her body for a superior position” .
This made An Xiaoran suffer from her own actions .
In the dorm at the University of Arts and Sciences .
Lin Jie happily crossed his legs, drank the coffee he found from Zheng Ziliang’s drawer, and scrolled through the forum with his lips curled up coldly . ‘You have to use b*tchy methods to deal with a b*tch . But this incident was just to cover up Qiu Yuan’s video . I deliberately provoked An Xiaoran, and she was hooked as I expected . If she copied hundreds of copies of Qiu Yuan’s video and uploaded them, there would be a problem . ’

An internal call came from the gaming device . Lin Jie picked up the communication device, smiled, and laughed . “Eighteen Massacres, thanks for your information about An Xiaoran . ”
Yes, the information about An Xiaoran on the forum had been provided by Eighteen Massacres! Although Lin Jie had some information about An Xiaoran, that was specific to three years later, which he could not possibly upload it to the Internet . But Lin Jie did know a very important piece of information: Eighteen Massacres was An Xiaoran’s ex—well, maybe it was better to call him her sex partner .
An Xiaoran kept Eighteen Massacres entertained, and Eighteen Massacres would provide some unimportant gossip in return .
Among the list of An Xiaoran’s boyfriends, which had been posted on the forum, Midnight from Triumphant Midnight and Great Precision from Hunter’s Guild were clearly listed . But the name of Eighteen Massacres had been deliberately deleted by Lin Jie .
“You’re welcome . We’re no longer related in any way . ” Eighteen Massacres smiled bitterly . “She’s just a reporter, how did she offend you?”
Lin Jie said calmly, “She threatened to publicly treat me for hotpot . My face is thin, so I had to hide to protect my innocence . ”
Eighteen Massacres’ mouth twitched . ‘You have a thin face?’
“I’m curious, why did you get involved with An Xiaoran? Is there any inside story?” asked Lin Jie .
Eighteen Massacres went silent . After a while, six words were blurted out from his mouth: “It’s just a booty call . ”
