Lao Er was laughing in the chat room. He slapped his thighs and said, “Those of you who didn’t participate in the gang war are at a big loss this time. You missed how Xiao Lu was standing there like a star… and there were those paragraphs! Hahaha, it was simply pretentious to the extreme.”

Wu laughed and said, “Lao Er, don’t worry, I’ve recorded the whole video. It doesn’t matter if they can’t be there. I can help them by rebroadcasting it. ”

The chat room erupted in laughter, and the paragraphs Bai Lixin typed during the gang battle were copied over and over again, and then forwarded onto the world channel.

In an instant, the whole server was in an uproar.

After it was posted on the world channel, there were even more people who kept copying his words, and for a period of time, the world chat channel could not squeeze in any other content at all. It was all dominated by Bai Lixin’s words.

Some of the people who copied them had grudges against the Midsummer gang, some were purely melon eaters, and some just liked stirring things up. But more often than not, these words speak to the players’ hearts.

With the promotion of online gaming and the progress of society, online gaming has become more and more prevalent for everyone.

It had gone from being a plaything to a form of popular entertainment, and in the face of an increasingly sophisticated online environment, online violence has long been frowned upon, and players have long been fed up with this kind of verbal abuse at every turn.

Some who had played a lot of online games were used to this, and felt that without verbal quarrels, it’s not the right atmosphere for a game.

To give an opinion?

Well, play if you like, or get out.

Why should they leave? They love the game too, but why should they tolerate its vulgarity and permittivity? They loved it so much that they wanted it to be better.

Some players were used to the original game model of insults and conflicts, while a larger group of players were desperate to change it.

It could be argued that the reason Bai Lixin’s words were so popular was that the public had found a port to vent.

It was as if these quotes were the voice of their hearts, making them uncomfortable, which is why they became so popular. On the surface, they were targeting the Midsummer Gang, but in reality, they were calling for a civilised gaming environment.

The members of the Midsummer Gang were all a bit overwhelmed when they saw the swiped content from all over the world.

They were a mad fighting gang, which was not new in the world. However, they had never seen such verbal criticism from players all over.

Qian Qun’s lips were tightly pursed as he watched Bai Lu’s words that were accusing him of hacking his account appear on the world channel over and over again, his face as black as iron.

He had never thought that letting Liang Xuan kill and start a gang war would lead to such serious consequences, and he even saw the names of several people from allied gangs on the world channel.

After jumping and venting enough, Liang Xuan sat back down in front of his computer and said angrily, “It’s too abominable. If I hadn’t fallen for Bai Lu’s tricks this time, the result wouldn’t have been like this at all! ”

Qiao Qun was annoyed and his voice was a bit more aggressive: “What do you want then, to start another gang war? There is no medicine for regret in this world. Since this has already caused such consequences, we can only break our teeth and swallow them. ”

Liang Xuan heard Qiao Qun’s sullen voice and was instantly enraged. He couldn’t find a place to vent, but Qiao Qun was still scolding him! What the hell?

“Are you blaming me?” Liang Xuan had always said whatever he wanted, and this time was no exception, “Don’t you forget that sometimes you accompanied me to kill players, and now you blame me for losing? What’s the point of taking fifty steps and laughing at one hundred? ”

Qiao Qun clenched his fist and took two deep breaths. Liang Xuan had a really cool nature, but he never thought about others. What Qiao Qun cared about now was not losing the gang war at all, but the reputation of the whole Midsummer gang and his personal reputation.

He had to ask someone in the technical department privately why the equipment was recovered, but if it was discovered that he had manipulated the game to facilitate his interests, the person’s job could be lost.

Now both the game and reality were bothering him, and instead of helping him, Liang Xuan was here to accuse him.

Anger rose in Qiao Qun’s eyes, and he took a few deep breaths before simply quitting the game.

When Liang Xuan saw that Qiao Qun had quit the game, he was a little stunned.

Although he often had verbal arguments with Qiao Qun in normal times, he had always been tolerant towards him. But just now, Qiao Qun directly quit the game.

Was he really angry?

Liang Xuan thought of this, and then looked at the screen full of uncontrollable text.

The words “Immortal Crane, you stole my account” at the end of each sentence suddenly stood out.

Did Qiao Qun really have someone hack Bai Lu’s account?

If not, why didn’t he refute it?

Liang Xuan gritted his teeth.

So what if he had stolen it? Even if Qiao Qun had done something wrong, he was still on his side. Moreover, Qiao Qun must have done it for his sake.

If Qiao Qun hadn’t done this, how would Bai Lu have been suppressed?

He had to go to the chat room and say, “You guys play first. I’m going to go check on Immortal Crane.” With that, he also quit the game and casually put on a jacket to rush to Qiao Qun’s house.

After Liang Xuan left, there was a few minutes of silence in the chat room. The normally lively club was now at a loss as to what to say.

Wandering Fingers coughed twice and wondered, “I don’t think the gang leader hacked Bai Lu’s Snow Feather’s account, did he?”

Xiao Wen paused and said, in an unsure tone, “Probably not. Well, I’ll leave first. haha ”

Xiao Wen quietly exited the game and silently changed the password to her account.

Seeing this, Wandering Fingers also smiled awkwardly, “Oops, my screen froze, I’ll restart the game.” She said as she also quit the game and then silently changed her password.

The other people in the club saw this and didn’t say much, but they also started to change their passwords.

The majority of their passwords were known to Qiao Qun. Because his skills were so sharp and he played all the professions so well, some of them would throw their accounts at him to help them reach a high ranking.

But now the story of Bai Lu’s account being stolen was spreading on the internet, and they were actually a bit scared. So they changed their passwords, but they are too embarrassed to admit it for fear of losing face.

Friendships on the internet are fragile, not to mention the seeds of suspicion that have been planted.

While they were in a hurry to change their passwords and increase their security information, Liang Xuan and Qiao Qun knew nothing about it.

After Qiao Qun got off the game, he took a moment to slow down and was no longer angry as before. He called Xiao Chen in the technical department.

After calling several times, Xiao Chen picked up the phone and said, “Hey, God Qiao, it’s you.”

Qiao Qun forced a smile and said, “Xiao Chen, do you remember a month ago when I asked you to take off a man’s vest?” Qiao Qun was speaking in code, as he was afraid that someone might tap the phone. In other words, he meant, “I asked you to steal a person’s account.”

Xiao Chen’s voice seemed to be very relaxed, “Oh that, brother Qiao. That person must have used some kind of backstage. The senior management investigated the matter thoroughly, and my colleagues and I spent two days trying to get the vest back. I’m telling you, Brother Qiao, you owe me a big favor this time. If I hadn’t reacted quickly, I would have been caught by the executives. ”

Qiao Qun’s heart tightened, and he asked again, “What about now? Are you okay? ”

Xiao Chen laughed heartily from the other end of the line, “No, no, it’s fine already. Don’t worry, you’re safe, and of course, I’m safe too.  But I can’t do things like modify permissions these days. I need to lay low first. ”

Qiao Qun was relieved to hear that it was okay, “It’s good that you’re okay. Tomorrow, brother will treat you to a meal. You choose the place. It’s thanks to you this time, and thanks for your hard work, Xiao Chen. “‘

It’s okay!” he said, and the two talked for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.

Knowing that he was safe, Qiao Qun had no more worries. He was no longer only scared, but now had regrets.

He regretted that he had been curt with Liang Xuan in his anger. He had clearly said that he would love Liang Xuan, so how could he be angry at him because of this?

He regretted his behaviour just now and was thinking of how to apologise to Liang Xuan when the doorbell suddenly rang.

Qiao Qun froze and got up to open the door.

The person standing outside was none other than Liang Xuan, whom he had been thinking of.

Lian Xuan saw Qiao Qun open the door. He picked his trouser pocket uncomfortably before he said stiffly, “Qiao Qun, it was my fault just now… I…”

He had been reckless since he was a child and had hardly ever been humble with anyone. The words of apology he had just thought of were now stuck in his throat like a fish bone, and he could not get them out.

His cheeks turned red as he tried to apologise, but Qiao Qun pulled him into his arms and whispered, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been angry with you just now. I was just angry at Bai Lu. ”

Liang Xuan gulped and shut his mouth.

His arms unfolded and he wrapped them around Qiao Qun, embracing him.

Since Qiao Qun was no longer angry with him and had apologised, the matter was resolved.

Liang Xuan was secretly relieved that he didn’t have to apologize, otherwise he wouldn’t have known how to say it.

The two of them hugged each other for a while before they parted, and Liang Xuan thought of something and asked, “What’s the matter with the stolen account?”

He looked straight at Qiao Qun with wide eyes and pouted, “You can’t lie to me. You are my boyfriend, so even if you really hacked the account, I will stand by your side and face it together, so you must tell me. ”

When Qiao Qun saw how righteous Liang Xuan looked, he couldn’t help but be touched. Liang Xuan had been spoiled since he was a child, and rarely had he been so understanding.

He hesitated for a moment and organized his words, “You know, I am a game skill tester for “Chivalry Road,” right?”

Liang Xuan nodded his head, indicating that he knew.

Qiao Qun’s throat rolled as he continued, “Because it involves skill development, I got better acquainted with the people in the technical department. There was a fan of mine in there, so the two of us got closer. I saw that Bai Lu was always cursing you, and I wanted to help you out. So I simply let him hack and steal from Bai Lu’s Snow Feather account, and traded with dozens of small accounts. Even the GM couldn’t track the whereabouts of the items. ”

“But I don’t know what kind of backer Bai Lu found; the people in the technical department searched for about two days and actually managed to retrieve the account.”

Hearing this, Liang Xuan frowned, ” How did Bai Lu know it was you who stole the account? Could it be that you were discovered? ”

Qiao Qun shook his head and said, “No, I don’t think so. If it had been discovered, I’d be considered the mastermind, while Xiao Chen was the direct enforcer. If he had been fired, he would have come to my side. And Xiao Chen used to be a hacker, so his methods were clean, so he shouldn’t have left anything behind. ”

“Then how would Bai Lu know that you had someone steal the account?” Liang Xuan was still a bit puzzled.

“Who knows? He probably holds a grudge and deliberately smeared me with nonsense. ” Qiao Qun shrugged, “I didn’t say anything just now because I wasn’t sure if I had been discovered, but since I haven’t, what is there to be afraid of?”

” If he dares to paint me like that again, I’ll sue Bai Lu for slander. Don’t you enjoy killing him? I’ll accompany you to kill him. This time we’ll kill him until he retires! ”

When Liang Xuan heard Qiao Qun’s words, his heart was sweeter than honey. He laughed and patted Qiao Qun’s shoulder, “Great, I got a false alarm. Since there’s nothing wrong, hurry up and go tell everyone. ”

Qiao Qun gave a gentle glance at Liang Xuan and nodded, “En, okay. I was the one who was furious just now and quit the game without resolving the matter properly. I will go online now and tell the gang so that they don’t misunderstand. ”

With that, Qiao Qun pulled Liang Xuan Yi away from the computer and opened the game and the chat room.

The chat room had most of the people in the club hanging out in it, and a few people were chatting about a newly opened dungeon.

Qiao Qun slowly spoke, “I’m back.”

The chat room, which had been chatting happily, heard Qiao Qun’s voice, and the air stuttered.

It was Wandering Fingers who reacted first, and she said happily, “Master, you’re back. Just now, Xiao Xuan saw you go offline and hurriedly went offline as well. Did he go to your place? Did you two end up doing something? What happened? ”

Wandering Finger’s words were a good way to ease the awkwardness in the chat room, and the crowd smiled and said, “Yes, yes, Xiao Xuan is really the best husband.”

Liang Xuan’s face turned red as he poked a glance at Qiao Qun, who was secretly enjoying himself. He grabbed the microphone and grunted, “What stupid nonsense are you talking about?”

The chat room stuttered again, and since Bai Lu’s quotes kept swiping on the screen, the members of the Midsummer Club began to reflect on them.

They thought of their polite and self-controlled selves in reality, and then they thought of their open-mouthed selves in the game, and they felt ashamed.

Although no one stated it, they each secretly resolved in their hearts to say as little profanity as possible.

Now, Liang Xuan was still talking as rudely as ever, but the people who accompanied him decided to change their ways, but Liang Xuan himself didn’t even know it.

Qiao Qun and Liang Xuan didn’t notice anything different, and Qiao Qun grabbed the microphone and laughed, “I heard you guys talking about the new Demon Sect dungeon. How about it, are you going to get the first armour? ” (First Armour is the prestige gained by the first team to fully pass the stage.)

Wandering fingers replied softly: “The team is going to take the first armor, but we haven’t gathered all the players yet, and it won’t be open until three days later.”

The Demon Sect Dungeon is a ten-player elite stage that will soon open on Chivalry Road. So maximum number of people who can enter the replica is ten.

The ten-player elite stage that opened two months ago was still a bit of a struggle to get through, and now that a brand new one with higher equipment has been released, players were eager to try it out while being a bit timid and cautious. After all, it has a higher degree of difficulty and must be given high priority.

Qiao Qun heard Wandering Finger’s words and said, “Add me and Xiao Xuan. We both have good awareness and equipment. There’s also Xiao Wen, Wandering Fingers, and six other people with a bit more resourcefulness. ”

Wandering fingers nodded, “Good.”

Although they were wary of Qiao Qun now, it was undeniable that his techniques were really sharp.

“By the way, there is one more thing I need to clarify.” Qiao Qun said, “I didn’t steal Bai Lu’s account. He said those things either because he hated me for kicking him out of the battle group or because he hated me for kicking him out of the club. In short, all his claims that I stole his account or whatever are false. You should not believe them. ”

Wandering fingers smiled cheerfully and laughed, “We naturally believe you, Qiao Qun. We don’t even believe in a single punctuation mark. We’ve been comrades for so many years, I wouldn’t believe him for even a second. ”

This statement drew countless more echoes from the other members.

Hearing their approval, Qiao Qun was quite relieved in his heart. “Thank you for your trust.”

Wandering fingers patted her chest, “You should. There is no need to be so polite. It is unlike you!”

“We haven’t played today’s score rush yet. Let’s go and play first. ” Qiao Qun, as the team captain, began to organise for battle.

The team now had five members, including the captain, Qiao Qun, also known as Immortal Crane, a professional Daoist.

The other team members were Wandering Fingers as a healer, Xiao Wen, also a healer, No Desire is Just as an Assassin, and Little Master Hangman as a Swordsman.

There were two healers on this team, which made it much more stable than other teams that only had a single healer. Moreover, this team had melee and long-range attackers, as well as meat shields and violent attackers. Even the backup healer was strong. It could be said that the composition of this team was perfect.

On the other hand, Liang Xuan logged on to the game using the special gaming laptop that Qiao Qun had specially prepared, and the five of them quickly formed a team and lined up for the score race.

They were all in good shape and didn’t let today’s defeat in the gang battle affect their mood. Within an hour, they had played five games.

Qiao Qun remembered that Little Master Hangman had been offline for awhile, so he opened the club list and saw that the account wasn’t online. He opened his password manager and found the password for the number, intending to log in and help him brush up his score.

He entered the account and password and pressed enter, but instead of the usual login screen, he was prompted with “Wrong count number or password error.”

He was slightly baffled and checked the account number before carefully entering the password again, but was still prompted with “Wrong account number or password.”

He muttered in the chat room in wonder, “When did Xiao Wanzi change her password?”

The chat room came to another awkward halt, and Qiao Qun realised something was wrong. He thought about it and found Wandering Finger’s password and unobtrusively entered it.

The result was both unexpected and unpredictable, as Wandering Finger’s account also indicated “wrong account number or password.”

With a gulp of air in his throat, Qiao Qun quietly tried several more passwords in quick succession, but the results were all “wrong account or password.”

Only then was he sure that everyone who was online tonight had changed their passwords!

Qiao Qun sneered, while Liang Xuan, who was sitting next to him, also noticed the abnormality. He glanced at Qiao Qun’s game login screen, and saw that the account belonged to Xiao Wen, and the system prompted “Wrong account or password.” He directly asked, “Xiao Wen, why did you change your password?”

After asking this, he suddenly thought back and said, in a bit of a fury, “Did you all secretly change your passwords? Are you all stupid? I’ve told you that Qiao Qun has never stolen any accounts, and you just said you trust him. What’s the matter with you guys? Why are you guys so disgusting!”

Xiao Wen’s face turned red as she stammered in the chat room, “Xiao Xuan, you misunderstood. I changed my password because the trainer kept using my account. Don’t be angry, I’ll send the password to the captain again. ”

Qiao Qun grabbed Liang Xuan’s arm, shook his head gently, and said into the microphone, “No, you don’t need to tell me the password for your account. Since you have all changed your passwords, I don’t need to help you punch up your points in the future. It’s my choice to help you brush up your points, and it’s your right to change your passwords secretly. I have no right to interfere.”

“From now on, we will still be a club. I will rely on you to strengthen the club, and you will rely on the club to seek shelter and mutual benefit. It’s a win-win, so from now on, our relationship will only end there. ”

With that, Qiao Qun logged on to his own account, opened the club’s permissions, and took back the permissions of all the executives except Liang Xuan’s.

In this way, the only people who had the right to manage the club and handle the items in the club’s warehouse were him and Liang Xuan.

Wandering fingers had not expected things to come to this point, and when her permissions were revoked, she became enraged, “I was just on guard, what’s wrong with that?! If there was no account hacking, why didn’t the leader clarify it at the first opportunity? It’s been so long since then. How would I believe you if you suddenly came online and said that there was no hacking?”

“And why did you revoke my privileges? I still have over 100,000 worth of gold materials in the club’s warehouse, all of which I worked hard to collect myself. You can’t just take it for yourselves!”
