Chapter 203: Chapter 203: It’s My Turn to Test You
 

“Phew, phew…”

After who knows how long, an old man and a young one stared at each other, neither willing to concede, yet there was a mutual respect in their eyes.

Guo Yunzi pointed at himself and introduced, “The old man’s nickname is Omen Star, may I ask who you are!?”

Wang Hao proudly lifted his head, “This young master is known as Ghost of Sorrow.”

Guo Yunzi’s expression grew solemn; this name he had heard of. It had suddenly emerged recently, a legendary disaster, more notorious than his own reputation that he had built up over more than three years.

“Old man has played 2000 rounds, screwed up over 1900 games, proficient in all manners of insulting teammates, betrayed teammates 30,000 times, skillfully mastered the timing of stealing kills,” Guo Yunzi said with pride.

Wang Hao sneered dismissively, “This young master’s corpse has lain in every corner of King’s Canyon, having mastered over a thousand ways to feed the enemy to the extreme, and has over 800 excuses for going AFK, what’s so great about you!?”

The faces of everyone present turned dark; wasn’t it hard enough for them to squeeze in some time to play games every day? It was because of people like these that they ended up losing so badly, their good moods completely ruined.

However, wasn’t this supposed to be a time for matching couplets, not competing over who’s the bigger troll?!

Wang Hao’s eyes shifted as he said with a smile, “Old man, you’ve been testing me for so long, isn’t it my turn to test you now?”

Guo Yunzi stretched out his hand, “Please!”

Wang Hao’s mouth curved slightly, rolled up his sleeves, and from who knows where, pulled out a length of hemp rope. Then, as quick as the wind, he appeared beside Guo Yunzi. Before Guo Yunzi could react, he was already bound.

“Kid, what the hell are you trying to do?!” Guo Yunzi was stunned, completely unable to understand what Wang Hao intended to do. This was supposed to be about matching couplets, wasn’t it? Why tie him up out of the blue?!

“Nothing much, just here to roast you a bit…” Wang Hao then seemingly conjured a bottle of industrial alcohol out of thin air, doused Guo Yunzi with it, and lit a fire to start barbecuing him.

The onlookers were gobsmacked; this guy’s idea of ‘testing’ Guo Yunzi was actually to roast him with fire.

“You little shit, I’m not done with you…” Guo Yunzi bellowed, as a terrifying aura burst forth from within him. The flames surrounding him were instantly extinguished, but his clothes were now tattered and torn, his entire appearance ashen and dusty.

Wang Hao frowned, rather surprised. He hadn’t realized that this old man had actually attained the level of Martial Emperor.

Only because of his old age, his cultivation had clearly regressed, and it was already quite impressive that he could now exhibit the strength of a Martial King.

“Grandpa!” Duoduo cried out anxiously, quickly running to Guo Yunzi’s side.

At this moment, Guo Yunzi seemed extremely listless, as if he had contracted a severe illness.

“Grandpa Guo!”

Zhao Yiling hurried over as well, checking on Guo Yunzi’s condition.

“Someone, quickly take Grandpa Guo to the hospital,” Zhao Yiling called out urgently.

“Yes, Miss!” The surrounding guards quickly found a stretcher and carried Guo Yunzi away.

“Look what you’ve done!” Zhao Yiling glared at Wang Hao, clearly furious.

“I didn’t know he was in his twilight years,” Wang Hao muttered to himself. Martial Artists of such an advanced age would use their True Qi to lock in their Life Force, preventing it from dissipating.

Once they entered this mode, it meant they were like ordinary elderly people, without a trace of Attack Power.

And since Guo Yunzi had used up his True Qi, it had caused some of his Life Force to fade away, which aged him several years in an instant.

“You’re driving me crazy!” Zhao Yiling stamped her foot and then turned to leave.

“Hey, where do you think you’re going? We haven’t properly communicated yet,” Wang Hao shouted at Zhao Yiling’s receding figure.

“I’m busy right now!” came Zhao Yiling’s indignant voice before she disappeared into the night.

“I might have played it too far this time.” Wang Hao sighed. It seemed he was in for another lonely night.

“Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for humiliating a literary giant, you’ve earned 50 million Villain Points.”

“How much!?”

Wang Hao was stunned. He hadn’t misheard, had he!? 50 million points, wasn’t that a bit too much?

“System notification: Literary giants, heroes, legends… they’re all paragons of virtue, incarnations of righteousness. They’re natural enemies of villains. Many villains have fallen at their hands. Now that the host has embarrassed them, the reward is naturally substantial.”

Wang Hao finally nodded in understanding; so, this was also a way to play. “Right, how many Villain Points would I get if I killed those hero characters?”

“System notification: If the host killed the aforementioned literary giant, you would only get 1 million Villain Points.”

“Only 1 million!? Are you kidding me!?” Wang Hao was flabbergasted.

“No mistake, it’s 1 million,” the system explained. “Heroes remain heroes even in death, but to humiliate a hero, to prevent them from being seen as a hero, that’s what a true villain should do.”

“Holy shit, you can even say something so demented!”

Wang Hao was shocked. Not only was he supposed to humiliate them, but he was also meant to strip them of their legacy. This was even crueler than killing the heroes; it left them no way out at all!

“The system only says demented things, but the host is the one doing them, going even beyond the beastliness of the system,” the system retorted.

“Damn it, you dare talk back!” Wang Hao snorted coldly.

The system didn’t dare say more, hiding in a corner, silently drawing circles. It didn’t want to be the focus of its petty host, Wang Hao.

Wang Hao scratched his chin, contemplating how he must thoroughly humiliate those hero characters if he encountered them in the future.

Right, that cheap old man of his seemed to be a hero as well. If he could meet him in the future…

“Junior brother, what do we do now?” Ling Xiao approached Wang Hao and asked. They had planned on connecting with Zhao Yiling and then using her identity as Zhao Kun’s granddaughter to place Little Spider on her and bring along Military Star.

But, judging by the current situation, things were not quite satisfactory.

“Relax, we won’t lose track of little miss Zhao Yiling,” Wang Hao said with a confident smile. After being bombarded with so many immortal lines, if Zhao Yiling could still get away, he would go to the underworld himself, bow to his ancestors and apologize.

“Are you that confident she can’t get away!?” Xia Weiwei asked skeptically.

“I’ve never failed when it comes to dealing with women,” Wang Hao said with a grin.

Xia Weiwei and Le Xuan took two steps back, unconcerned. They began to consider from Zhao Yiling’s perspective. If they were praised in such a way, with quotes that have been passed down through ages, their hearts would probably bloom with joy too.

Of course, they would feel that way only if they didn’t know what kind of man Wang Hao was.

And right now, Zhao Yiling clearly didn’t know that Wang Hao was an unscrupulous scumbag. So, her chances of being deceived were basically assured.

“Junior brother, have you really never failed at dealing with women?” Ling Xiao asked with a bit of squeamishness.

Wang Hao cast a glance at Ling Xiao and seeing the frivolous look between his brows, clearly fancying some girl he saw at the party.

“Speak up, who caught your eye? We’re all brothers here, and I’ll definitely back you up,” Wang Hao slapped Ling Xiao on the shoulder, with an expression that said a good brother should always help.

Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao, the two junior brothers, also came over, hoping Wang Hao would help them hook up with a girl…
