Chapter 446: The Crusher Comes to Life
Chapter 446: The Crusher Comes to Life
After Feng Bu Jue’s match with Xu Huai Shang, the general playerbase’s opinion of him became painfully obvious.
To put it bluntly: hatred laced with fear, and contempt mingled with grudging respect.
Xu Huai Shang’s diehard fans—the Honor Guard Unit and the like—needn’t be mentioned. The phrase they most wanted to scream at Feng Bu Jue was undoubtedly: “Eat my d*ck!”
As for the general player population, their assessment was universally something like: “That bastard’s one ruthless son of a gun~”
It wasn’t hard to see that very few players had developed any post-match fondness for Feng. His supporters were either rare visionaries or morally flexible weirdos who shared his twisted worldview…
In this charged environment, when the ID [Mad Bu Jue] suddenly surged on the level leaderboards, suspicions were inevitable.
If someone gaining tens of millions of experience points daily was [Tian Tian Gui Xiao] or [Shiva], no one would dare raise an eyebrow. With “Order” and “The Gods” standing behind them, anyone daring to spread rumors would first measure how much their words weighed…
But if the player in question was someone like [Kuangzong Jianying], a portion of the community might feel emboldened to speculate wildly.
As for Feng Bu Jue… Let’s just say: if he’d lived in the 1960s or ’70s, he’d have gotten beaten to death ten times over just walking down the street.
From head to toe, he radiated an aura that screamed “Killing me wouldn’t be a crime.” No matter how you looked at him, he reeked of villainy. As previously mentioned, even when he tried volunteering in the community, they turned him away…
Had Feng’s sudden level surge occurred before the Butterfly Arena incident, the reaction might’ve been calmer… But now, public disdain had solidified into prejudice. Under these circumstances, truth became irrelevant—people were eager to believe [Mad Bu Jue] was cheating.
Forums exploded with condemnation. Beyond meaningless personal attacks, the loudest demand was: “Strip Mad Bu Jue’s qualification and let Xu Huai Shang enter the Summit Confrontation!”
To them, Feng’s cheating was already a foregone conclusion. The only question was how to handle him.
This uproar, starting three days after the Butterfly Arena event, persisted until May 29th. Rather than dying down, the outcry intensified. Perhaps as the finals approached, Xu Huai Shang’s supporters grew increasingly desperate.
Xu Huai Shang herself, however, believed Feng was innocent. In fact, she’d been trying to contact him these past few days, but his friend request went unaccepted, and her emails went unanswered. No contact—no solution.
As for her fans’ actions, Xu Huai Shang made no public response. She understood… at this point, anything she said would be futile. Even if she publicly declared her belief in Mad Bu Jue’s innocence, it would change nothing. Her fans might even brand her too naive, redoubling their attacks against Feng.
Thus, the condemnation of Feng Bu Jue continued…
Until the afternoon of May 29th, when a powerful voice finally spoke up in his defense.
Dream Corporation, which had long ignored rumors, surprisingly responded.
At 2:00 PM that afternoon, an official announcement appeared on their website:
“Recently, widespread rumors of a player acquiring massive experience points through illegitimate means have circulated on forums, prompting numerous reports to our customer service department. We hereby solemnly declare: these allegations are entirely baseless. All experience sources for this player are legitimate and verifiable in our database. We urge all players to filter information rationally and avoid believing or spreading rumors.”
Feng Bu Jue instantly guessed who was behind this message.
While he’d never cared much for public opinion, having a powerful patron was undeniably comforting…
Yet this announcement also sparked new concerns.
People began pondering: If Mad Bu Jue truly wasn’t cheating, just how terrifying was he? With daily gameplay time capped, how could he grind tens of millions of experience points daily? It was insane!
Of course, they’d never guess that Feng had been holding back…
Over these past five days, Feng had been grinding the Common Difficulty Singleplayer Survival Mode, as it offered the highest odds of clearing the game. For Feng, clearing the game meant extra rewards.
Each day, he claimed only the experience reward twice. The remaining times, he always chose equipment. Acceptable attribute items were kept; fine-grade useless trinkets were fed into the Zero Magic Crusher. If he’d gone all-out, becoming a daily level king would’ve been effortless.
…
May 30th, 12:54 PM.
The previous announcement had inadvertently cemented Feng Bu Jue’s tyrant image. Discussions raged on.
On the eve of the finals, Feng Bu Jue became one of the top contenders for the Top 10, second only to Tian Tian Gui Xiao.
In this charged atmosphere, Feng’s fans finally revealed their fangs…
For days, they’d hidden among the general populace, too afraid to admit their support for Mad Bu Jue. Now, they were ready to emerge.
A horde of eccentric men and women descended like a tidal wave upon the #10 Mall (a hotspot where the Legendary Mad Bu Jue often appeared). Representing different guilds and wearing varied attires, they all carried identical banners bearing two bold characters: “The Craziest.”
Bystanders scoffed: “Have these people been poisoned by Yu Yu Hakusho fan translations?!”
…
Meanwhile, Feng Bu Jue himself stood in the Login Space, glaring with dead-fish eyes as he pulled the lever of the Zero Magic Crusher.
The machine whirred and clanked as its convex lens refocused light.
He’d seen this scene dozens of times—each time, the white light coalesced into [Deactivated Residue]. But Feng clung to one inviolable principle: “Give me one chance, and I’ll get crap. Ten chances, ten slaps. A hundred chances? You’d better hand me some statistical respect!”
And so, heaven rewarded the persistent.
When Feng finally filled the manufacturing success rate to 63.01%, his rotten luck finally relented…
The white light coalesced—and a Legendary-Level Equipment materialized.
