Chapter 2

By the way, later I’m going to go after that shemale you like the most, haha. Isn’t he the warehouse account for our The Knightly Tournament? I heard he’s got some rare materials that are one of a kind in the game, so I figure he’ll probably drop quite a lot of stuff. Of course, killing him once won’t make him drop much, so I’ve prepared over thirty resurrection charms for him. Ouch! It really hurts to spend that much—each one costs three hundred taels of gold. Luckily, we’re in the same guild, otherwise I wouldn’t even be able to use this on him.

Also, don’t be surprised that your proudest The Knightly Team didn’t show up. I passed on your message and told them to go launch a desperate counterattack on Greenfield Society’s main base. I also told them there’s a traitor in our The Knightly Tournament, so they absolutely must not use voice chat, in case the traitor catches on. I figure those idiots probably all got wiped out. I’m telling you this so you don’t get suspicious—those people are actually pretty loyal to you, unlike me, the double-crosser. They didn’t betray you. They all had their own reasons, so you really have to forgive them. Now you know why those hundred-plus good brothers didn’t show up on the battlefield against Greenfield Society—it’s not because you failed as a person, but because you were foolish. You must be so relieved.

Well then, that’s all, goodbye to you! My lovely guild leader! Forever your vice leader, Benjamin Carter.

One more reminder: as long as I don’t delete my account, you’ll never be able to remove me from my position. After all, I put in a lot of effort for that guild creation quest, and it was me who got the guild creation token.

The vice leader of The Knightly Tournament, Benjamin Carter, even though his level was nearly forty below the average of the top players in the game, still managed to squeeze into the top ten masters of “Shushan 2.” Many people lamented that if Benjamin Carter hadn’t joined “Shushan 2” so late and lost out at the starting line, with his flying sword skills, he might not have lost to the top three masters. No one knew why such a veteran gamer would only rise meteorically a year after the game launched, missing out on the most precious early days.

After this secret was revealed, Benjamin Carter’s popularity skyrocketed, even surpassing the three most influential masters in “Shushan 2.” This most classic revenge arc became the number one legendary tale at the fortieth anniversary of “Shushan 2,” and until the servers of “Shushan 2” were completely shut down, it was never surpassed by any other event.

Not even the grand wedding of The Parker School’s leader Ethan Green, the top guild in “Shushan 2”; not even the number one master Clarence Brightblade’s solo assassination of the game’s first boss, Emei’s Elder Long-Brow; not even the infamous incident where one of the “Seven Fairies,” among the top ten beauties of “Shushan 2,” was stripped naked and forced to streak using a game bug… None of these could surpass it!

It was unsurpassable!

Because no one could ever take revenge as thoroughly and satisfyingly as Benjamin Carter, and no one could ever settle a grudge as joyfully as this crazy bird.

Whenever someone brought up this story in the game, they would often end with a phrase that Benjamin Carter always had on his lips…

“The more pain you cause my heart, the faster my sword will be. The more it hurts, the faster it gets—that’s what it means to be truly satisfied!”

Chapter Two: Benjamin Carter’s First Assassination Sword

Benjamin Carter, because of this legend, became the most mysterious and popular player in “Shushan 2,” a game with an unprecedented fifty-year run, and no one could surpass him until Luna Brooks moved to the Mars server.

The self-created sword technique he used to assassinate Derek Foster even became the benchmark for measuring top-tier skill in “Shushan 2,” hailed as the “Number One Assassination Sword.” The leader of the top guild The Parker School, Ethan Green, once sourly commented on the forums: “If someone masters Benjamin Carter’s Number One Assassination Sword, and that person is standing in front of you… you’re already a dead man! No one can describe the flair of that sword, just like no one can dodge a silent fart in a closed train car…”

When the top master Clarence Brightblade was asked if he could withstand that sword, he shamelessly declared, “Benjamin Carter would never get the chance to use that sword in front of me… Within twenty steps, his sword is invincible, but except for Queen Mary, no one can even get within a hundred steps of me in a duel…”

It must be said, at that time, the ID Luna Brooks hadn’t yet appeared in “Shushan 2,” so no one knew how formidable Queen Mary was, nor could anyone understand the hidden respect in Clarence Brightblade’s words.

It wasn’t until later, when the leaderless The Knightly Tournament was utterly defeated in the ensuing battles, falling from the third largest guild on the server to a third-rate small guild, and struggled on for three years under the efforts of another vice leader, Leonard Green. But after offending a new female player, Luna Brooks, who was only level fifty-seven at the time, she single-handedly stormed The Knightly Tournament’s main base, killed eighteen top players over level 130, slew Leonard Green nine times, and completely shattered The Knightly Tournament, leading to its disbandment. “Shushan 2” then entered the era of Queen Mary.

Only then did everyone understand what Clarence Brightblade meant back then…

But Benjamin Carter’s fearsome reputation didn’t end there!
