Chapter 50 Forum Commotion, The Feather Assassin, Acquiring a Second Wife, and Absurd Titles for Everyone
What should have been a thoroughly unremarkable piece of information instead caused the forum to fall silent for a brief moment, followed by an explosive surge of new posts appearing by the second.
The entire forum went wild.
"Oh my god! The unsolvable instance *The Letter* has actually been cleared?!"
"Absolute legends! And this is a novice unsolvable instance! 'Family' is just too incredible!"
Novice unsolvable instances are notoriously difficult among all unsolvable domains because newcomers possess limited abilities and props, making them exceptionally hard to handle.
Yet... today, the instance *The Letter* had genuinely been conquered.
A massive crowd of onlookers was utterly stunned.
The number of posts did not decrease; instead, it multiplied.
People eagerly browsed through the clearance summaries of Bai Wan and the others. Wang Jian ranked near the top, and everyone caught his clearance summary at a glance. However, upon reading it, they were completely bewildered.
"Huh??? What kind of clearance summary is this?"
Seeing the clearance summary of a player named Delivery Invincible, everyone could not help but freeze.
The player's rating was not high, only a basic C-rank evaluation, but... they had actually obtained a title?
[Congratulations to player 'Delivery Invincible' for acquiring the exclusive title: Blessed with a Second Wife]
[Blessed with a Second Wife]
[Quality: Rare]
[Description: Because player 'Delivery Invincible' lost one wife in the game, yet gained two gold and silver wives, this title is specially awarded.]
Seeing this, the brains of numerous players short-circuited for a moment...
"???"
"??? What?"
What kind of heaven-defying experience was this?
He lost one wife, and then gained two?
If this weren't a bizarre horror game, everyone would have thought the system had glitched.
Wait, was this player named 'Delivery Invincible' really playing things so wildly?
The reply section of the original post quickly derailed.
"Gold and silver wives? I'm so jealous! Peak of life!"
"Enviable, brother. Please share the video, willing to pay."
"Old bro, between the gold wife and the silver wife, which one feels better..."
Trolling netizens, especially a bunch of single dogs, began howling in the forum.
When people laid eyes on Su Yueling’s clearance summary, they were struck dumb all over again.
"Holy shit! The second player got a title too!"
They saw that a player named Little Condensation Tries Hard had received an A-rank evaluation, which was further boosted by the first-clear instance bonus to reach S-rank, along with a reward of 300 eerie coins.
At this, everyone could only sigh with envy.
However... upon seeing that she had also earned a title, everyone lost it completely.
[Congratulations to player Little Condensation Tries Hard for acquiring the title: Chicken Feather Assassin]
[Chicken Feather Assassin]
[Quality: Rare]
[Description: Because the player was the first to assassinate an eerie entity using a chicken feather, this title is specially awarded.]
"???"
"The first person to assassinate an eerie entity with a chicken feather???"
The netizens were utterly flabbergasted.
Holy crap!
Assassinating a ghost with a chicken feather—whose subordinate was this?!
So abstract!!
One particular post pushed the atmosphere to its absolute peak.
"Oh mother, you guys need to look at 'Family's' clearance summary. It's even more absurd!!"
"What? Let me see... Ah, what the hell!! Holy shit, this summary..."
[Congratulations to player 'Family' for successfully clearing the instance *The Letter*, achieving the first SSS-rank evaluation in gaming history, and receiving a total reward of 2000 eerie coins.]
At this, the entire scene boiled over.
The first SSS-rank in history?
A reward of 2000 eerie coins!!
"God! Absolute legend!!"
"An SSS-rank evaluation? Something I've only ever heard of in legends... I recall the captains of the S-rank teams only had SS-rank evaluations, right? Doesn't that mean 'Family's' potential surpasses that of the four great captain-level figures?"
"You can't really put it that way. Everyone's character growth curve is different. As everyone knows, the four S-rank captains developed during the later stages, so we can only say that 'Family' currently possesses the potential to surpass captains, but the future remains uncertain."
"Regardless of what the future holds, he's already way stronger than us. Snagging 2000 eerie coins in one go is something I wouldn't even dare to imagine."
"Alright, stop obsessing over the clearance summary! Will you guys hurry up and look at 'Family's' title? It's even more outrageous than the previous two!"
"Let me check... Hiss... Oh my..."
Next, everyone stared in utter disbelief as they beheld the two heaven-defying titles 'Family' had managed to acquire.
[Kun Sect Intern]
[Quality: Rare]
[Description: Performed the Kun Sect dance facing more than fifty eerie entities in one breath, displaying the might of our Kun Sect. This title is specially awarded.]
[Lancheng Tomb Blaster]
[Quality: Epic]
[Description: A title acquired due to blowing up graveyards. (PS: Two graveyards have been blown up so far.)]
Today, numerous players had been shocked to numbness.
Rare titles appeared one after another.
And each one was more absurd than the last.
Dancing in front of fifty ghosts in one breath? What the hell, were you hosting a concert out there?
Just how fanatical were you about your beloved idol?
At this point, words failed everyone. Was this something a human being could actually pull off?
The other title, *Lancheng Tomb Blaster*, was even more abstract...
Blowing up graveyards, and having already blown up two of them at that—could you please do something normal for once?!
Just how cursed was this instance anyway?
Assassinating ghosts with a chicken feather, acquiring dual gold and silver girlfriends, performing absurd dances for eerie entities, and blowing up gravestones.
As for why things turned out in this wildly absurd fashion, everyone naturally thought of that mysterious newcomer 'Family,' who had completely derailed the instance on his very first run.
The onlookers were now consumed by intense curiosity.
What on earth had 'Family' actually done inside that instance?
What exactly happened in there?
Just how abstract was this player named 'Family'?!
...
Just like countless other players, Zhou Lu, Liu Tong, and the rest of the Lancheng Team were sitting in the preparation room, munching on potato chips while viewing the clearance stats for the instance *The Letter*.
"Xiaotong, buy your big brother another bottle of booze. We're running low."
"Got it, Captain. Oh crap, Brother Yin, stop stealing my drink! If you want some, go get your own."
"Condensation, we're out of melon seeds. Go buy some new ones."
"Understood, Captain."
"Condensation, could you bring me a pack of duck neck along the way?"
"Sure, sure, I'll buy them together."
Right now, the members of the Lancheng Team looked less like elite operatives and more like they were holding a team-building retreat, picnicking in the countryside, or watching a movie in a cinema. Their primary source of amusement naturally stemmed from the clearance summaries of Bai Wan and Su Yueling.
"Shall we check out the clearance stats now?"
"Let's wait until the food arrives."
"True, we'll watch while eating."
Once Liu Tong and Su Yueling finished purchasing the food, Zhou Lu and the others settled back into their seats, eating and watching with great satisfaction.
They first glanced at Sun Qian's clearance: utterly unremarkable. Next came the rare titles of Wang Jian and Su Yueling.
Pfft!
Upon seeing Su Yueling’s title, Zhou Lu spat out a mouthful of beer.
*Chicken Feather Assassin*?
Assassinating ghosts with a chicken feather?
Zhou Lu directed his gaze toward Su Yueling and asked in astonishment, "Condensation, have you already grown to this extent? There is nothing left for the captain to teach you!"
Immediately afterward, raucous laughter erupted through the Lancheng headquarters.
"Hahahaha, I can't breathe!!"
"Legendary!!"
"A person who slays ghosts with a chicken feather—the very first in history!" Sun Meng gave Su Yueling a thumbs-up.
"Condensation, has your blade finally achieved Bankai?" Li Yintian also wore a look of utter shock.
Zhou Lu suddenly stood up, stepped onto his chair, waved one arm in the air, and bellowed, "Scatter, chicken feather... Bankai!! Feathers all over the ground!!"
Witnessing the exaggerated acting of her teammates, Su Yueling's face flushed as red as an apple, and she cried out in ruffled exasperation, "Ahhhhh!! Stop making fun of me already!!! You're going too far!"
Su Yueling was dying of embarrassment, while inwardly vowing to use her Bankai chicken feather to chop Bai Wan into eight pieces in one go!
It was all Bai Wan's fault!!
The group roared with laughter and continued reading. But the moment they saw Bai Wan's title, *Lancheng Tomb Blaster*, the entire room suddenly fell dead silent.
