Chapter 63 - 063 Is this it?
"Why be a paparazzo instead of playing the game properly?! I’ve seriously lost face this time!"
Dumbelldore gritted his teeth. He had anticipated that his act of stealing Lin Bai’s credit would be exposed, but who could have guessed it would be in such a way? Delete his account? Or not? He was truly reluctant to let go of the Nine-Days True Scripture that he had acquired! But when he scrolled through the replies to the post, he was shocked to find that while one or two occasionally mentioned him, the vast majority of the attention was on Lin Bai. He was like a tiny ripple before the massive wave Lin Bai had stirred, insignificant and barely noticeable. He had actually lost to an NPC? This realization made Dumbelldore even more dejected. Having tasted the sweetness of being adulated by thousands only to plummet to rock bottom, Dumbelldore’s heart surged with intense unwillingness.
Recalling all his experiences since meeting Lin Bai, Dumbelldore instantly made up his mind: he would not delete his account. The reason he was ignored, in the end, was simply a lack of strength. He knew his own talents; if he deleted his account and restarted, losing Lin Bai’s powerful support, he would truly become a nobody. A bad reputation was still a reputation. He decided to stay by Lin Bai’s side.
Currently, Lin Bai had already incited public indignation. Those players clamoring to eliminate Lin Bai had no idea how meticulous and terrifying his mind truly was. If anyone could kill Lin Bai, it would probably only be him, Lin Bai’s close disciple. One day, once those people had suffered enough at Lin Bai’s hands, he would make a sudden move, eliminate Lin Bai in one fell swoop, and still be a hero to the players. Perhaps there would even be a great reward. That’s right! Even if Lin Bai didn’t teach him Martial Arts, killing him would still make him drop the secret manuals. The result would be the same...
Dumbelldore’s thoughts suddenly cleared, and the more he considered it, the more excited he became. An NPC’s health bar was fixed, but players could grow infinitely! Lin Bai might be crushing him like a newbie now, but once his Level was high enough, everything would be reversed. Lie low until the time is right to shock the world. Endure humiliation and bear heavy responsibilities, all to ultimately eliminate the big boss and sabotage the game company’s conspiracy—a stunning, major reversal! Just thinking about it is exciting!

Jiamucheng was undergoing major construction. Song Qing’s family and others had undertaken most of the projects. The young masters were busy helping their families, so the nightclub venture had temporarily quieted down.
Lin Bai, currently in a state of rest, was in the shop teasing Little A Piao. Just then, a cacophony of voices erupted outside. Black Heart, Black Liver, Black Lung, Black Spleen, and Black Eye pushed open the door and walked in, chattering away. Of course, in the eyes of a "genuine" NPC, they were merely a few quiet customers entering.
Jimmy Navada went up to greet them, "Distinguished guests, are you here to experience our nightclub services?"
"We’re just looking around," Black Eye said. He looked at the levitating Navada family, surprise fleeting in his eyes, then made his way to a table and sat down. Simultaneously, Black Liver, Black Heart, and the others each found different tables and sat down. Five people occupied five tables.
Jimmy Navada paused, then subconsciously glanced at Lin Bai. Lin Bai shook his head at him. Although these "colorful internal organs" had changed their appearances and names, he recognized them instantly as the five audacious individuals from that morning. Interesting! These guys are planning to wear me down, huh!
