The Boss Behind The Game Chapter 21
Chapter 21: Retrospect
Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
It was supposed to be an exploration quest, but the Big Three Guilds had forced it into a head-on
battle.
From the fight, many yers came to the realization of just how strong the Ghost General Cha Na’s
powers were. Having that experience, the yers were more united in joining forces, even yer killer
fights in the wild had reduced.
The reason was simple. The leaders of the three biggest guilds, which currently consisted of the
strongest yers, had had a discussion.
The battle had undoubtedly left them reeling, therefore, they had decided to temporarily put aside
competing against one another. Instead, they were resolved to join forces in order to destroy the Ghost
Camp situated at the forefront of Liuli District.
The peaceful development around the Ghost Mountains had led to overcrowding since huge amounts
of yers gathered there to hunt and advance their skills.
Luckily, the Ghost Mountains had a unique map where ghost-type creatures would keep respawning as
the game refreshes, allowing yers to kill monsters non-stop.
Going deeper into the Ghost Mountains, stronger creatures would appear, such as vengeful spirits, evil
spirits and white-haired zombies. It was extremely challenging for the yers, though it could be said
that they were suffering happily.
Simultaneously, the rise of Battle Online had attracted plenty of gold farmers.
Especially with soul coins having a rate of 1:800, it was exceptionally tempting.
However, what boggled the minds of these gold farmers was how the game could not be opened in
multiple windows. In fact, it was impossible to lend an ount to another yer. No matter what kind of
tricks they had up their sleeves, they could not crack this game.
Lu Wu had even noticed that some businessmen in the ck market of online games were offering
premium prices for a type of crack tool in hopes of running multiple ounts in Battle Online.
Countless cyber hackers had also tried their hands, but to no avail. The game remained with having
zero cheats and zero trade bots. Such outstanding results further boosted the game’s poprity.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
Lu Wu had full confidence about this matter, for Battle Online ounts were verified through soul-
binding, so it was impossible to cheat unless the yer had two souls.
At the same time, Lu Wu and Bei Li took in the suggestions by the yers in the discussion area and
went down into the underworld once more.
With the help of his multi-talented assistant, Bei Li, the headset was paired with the server. Thus, the
issue where yers found it difficult to record videos in-game was solved.
The introduction of this feature also helped in publicizing the game. By enabling yers to post their
videos on various streaming tforms, the game had gained more publicity.
The numbers of yers had increased rapidly, hitting the 150,000 mark. Because of that, there were
also more technical yers.
There were three technical yers in the forum who had caught Lu Wu’s attention, one of them was a
yer by the name of Na Lan who drew a map of the Ghost Mountains, depicting the monsters in
different regions of the mountain and their weaknesses.
The image had solved the troubles faced by many newbies in the game.
Another yer called Dwarf_King had also used the newly introduced feature of video recording to
upload clips of the maps which he had scouted and explored onto the forum dedicated for Battle Online
in the gaming website, tform173.
ording to Dwarf_King, he did not hunt monsters in the game, instead he perceived the game as a
traveling adventure to explore the underworld.
What was surprising to him was the fact that there were no repetitive sceneries in all the scenes of the
game, everything was tremendously real. After traveling around the Land of Beiqi for seven days, he
felt that even though he had merely explored a small zone, it was a feast for the eyes.
Nevertheless, his maps informed other yers of things which existed in zones beyond the Mansion of
the Dead.
Inside the Dwarf_King’s maps, the map fog which shrouded the nearby zones around the Mansion of
the Dead was absent. Instead, there were four zones of wilderness, consisting of the Ghost Mountains
where all the yers were already familiar with, Langya Scorched Earth Zone which was at the West,
and further in front were the Cliffs of Desperation as well as the Death Forest.
From the descriptions of the yer Dwarf_King, these zones had monsters and ghosts of strange
forms. He was lucky to be able to travel so far since he was good at keeping himself out of sight. s,
he still ended up dying as a snack to an enormous viper in the Death Forest.
Seeing the images captured by Dwarf_King, yers were exhrated by the revtion of just how big
the world was. So many strange ces existed out there.

However, at the bottom of his post, Dwarf_King reminded yers of the importance of having the
strength and skills to go on an adventure in the game. In order to further explore this underworld, he
had decided to train diligently before he set off on another adventure.
Dwarf_King’s post had topped the discussion area of Battle Online for quite awhile. It garnered the
attention of many yers while stirring up their spirits to be stronger in the game.
The final yer went by the name of One_Punch_One_Kick. ording to him, he was a fireman who
had lost an arm and a leg during a fire rescue mission. He was devastated as the unfortunate event
affected him greatly, to the point where he attempted tomit suicide.
While he survived after being rescued, he had given up on everything. He hated every second of being
alive. He hated how life was simply unfair to him.
After several twists and turns, he was introduced to gaming where he could numb his dreadful life by
being in a virtual world.
At least he was whole in the game. Though he still felt that everything was fake andpletely
unrealistic, just like prosthesis.
When he identally stumbled across Battle Online, he was moved to tears upon experiencing the
game. The realistic sensation made him think that his arm and his leg were back, which greatly
astonished him. It was the first time since he lost his limbs that he was able to feel their existence
again.
At the end of the post, One_Punch_One_Kick gave his sincere thanks to the game developers of Battle
Online.
His post moved the hearts of many yers, but at the same time made people realize that Battle
Online was freakishly realistic. It could even make a crippled person experience what it was like to feel
their limbs again.
Not only were yersforting the original poster, One_Punch_One_Kick, there were also yers
who expressed their gratitude because they too have found sce among people who had
experienced simr misfortune. They found a ce where they could beplete.
Once again, Battle Online had gained even more fans.
A lot of yers had also requested in the forum for a top-up feature. They were hoping for the
operators of Battle Online to quicklyunch the top-up portal to enhance their gaming experience.
Moreover, Wu Guoyi had personally called in to enquire about this very matter.
There was nothing Lu Wu could do about it, his soul coins were barely enough to construct the
Mansion of the Dead. If heunched the top-up portal, no doubt all 20,000 soul coins in his possession
would be gone in a matter of seconds.
For that reason, Lu Wu could only make up excuses such as keeping the game free-to-y would be
better for the ongoing development of the game and there would be lesser differences in terms of
strength between the yers.
Lu Wu was starting to feel the pressure from Battle Online’s rising poprity.
Right now, the gaming experience might be wless but the content was not enriching. He would need
to quickly design more ways for an interesting gamey.
After going through the suggestions of yers, Lu Wu felt that he was a step closer to his ideals for
Battle Online.
Firstly, this game style did not need to be a fighting game, it could be freestyle or a rxing kind of
game.
For instance, if they could take back Liuli District from Cha Na in the future, then yers who enjoy
fishing could totally fish in the Underworld Sea by Liuli District.
As imed by Bei Li, the Underworld Sea was filled with plenty of rare fish, some with the ability to
enhance yers’ Soul Strength.
Aside from selling it at the shop, yers could consume it to enhance their strength.
Additionally, at the bottom of the Cliffs of Desperationid a zone of murkynd, which was currently
the territory of the Rock Ghost King. That ce would be great for cultivating new creatures.
Should they conquer that zone, it could unlock the ability for yers to rear pets which they can even
train to assist in battle.
As long as yers could imagine creative ways to y the game, it could be said that there were
endless possibilities in this underworld realm, making the gamey so much more fun.
