Unfortunately, Michael happened to be filming a very important action scene, which required him to do some wire stunts. He was still visibly in good shape despite being covered with dust and dirt.
However, the few other actors who acted alongside him kept making mistakes, leading to them having filmed over ten takes of the same scene. As a result, the filming didn’t go smoothly, making him a little impatient.
Therefore, Harry could only leave in silence while carrying his laptop. If he went up to Michael right now, the latter would probably knock him out on the spot.
He returned his attention to the game, only to discover that Sirius had almost annihilated his entire sect; even over a hundred players were unable to stop Sirius.
Sirius’s Health Points never seemed to drop; despite having slaughtered hundreds of players, he had hardly lost any Health Points, looking like a killing machine that would never wear itself down. He carried loads of precious pills with him and ate them like they were just candies, though it was excruciatingly hard for other players to get even one of these.
These pills’ effects were immediately apparent after he swallowed them down in handfuls. His Vitality kept increasing, his Combat Effectiveness kept going up, and his attributes went off the charts.
He also consumed lots of supplies in the game; even though he could slay over ten players with each major blow, he also lost half of his Strength in the process. However, he quickly took pills after that to make up for the loss.
He was literally burning up money by taking pills like that. These pills cost at least a few hundred each, yet he ate them by the handful!
Beast was frightened to death at the sight of the scene. This is the power of the rich! he thought to himself.
At the end of the battle, everyone else in Beast’s sect had either died or fled with their tails between their legs, leaving him the only person left in the sect.
Without wasting his breath, Sirius carried his great sword on his shoulder and charged toward Beast straight away. Then, with a single slash, he slashed Beast’s Health Points by one-tenth as the latter was fleeing, causing the latter’s Health Points to go down rapidly.
Beast threatened as he fled, “F*ck! I’m going to call my Dad over if you hit me again!”
However, Sirius simply responded to him by attacking him with one move after another, sending him flying until he couldn’t fight back at all.
Beast was beaten up so ferociously that he didn’t even have time to type. He desperately pressed the keyboard buttons to try to fight back, but he couldn’t stand a chance against Sirius since the latter’s skills were simply too brutal.
Moreover, he found that his skills and attributes were suppressed in Sirius’s presence. He didn’t know whether he had the wrong impression or was terrified by the beating he was taking, but he couldn’t help feeling that something was weird.
Plug-in! Sirius233 is cheating using a plug-in! No wonder he’s unusually fearsome today!
Unfortunately, Sirius didn’t give Beast time to talk. With a single swing of his sword, he slashed Beast on the spot to the point that the latter had only a wee bit of Health Points left.
Beast said in exasperation, “How could you cheat in the game using a plug-in?”
Sirius didn’t answer him though. As his stony-faced avatar’s hair danced in the wind, his face was concealed by some strands of hair, revealing only a pair of eyes that flashed a menacing scarlet color. Then, he put his sword back in its sheath and made a more savage move.
With that, another system notification popped up on Harry’s screen that read, ‘Sirius233 has unilaterally launched the Forced Dual Cultivation Mode against No. 1 Beast of the Server!’
Beep! ‘The Forced Dual Cultivation Mode is starting up!’
Beep! ‘All your gear and Experience Points have been taken away by your opponent!’
Beep! ‘You have died from exhaustion! Please go back to the Novice Village and start all over again!’
Harry was stupefied off-screen along with the other spectating players in the game…
Another two hours had passed when Michael finally finished filming his part for this day. When he came over in his costume, he saw Harry looking at the screen with an ashen face.
“I heard that you were looking for me?” asked Michael as he sat down. As the makeup artist seized the wee bit of time to fix his makeup, he looked at Harry’s laptop screen, which was still displaying the game’s interface. However, Harry’s online character had reincarnated from a widely-admired bigwig to a nameless character in the Novice Village.
