Chapter 636: Kayaba Akihiko? Heathcliff!
Currently, the players have only managed to clear Aincrad up to the 2nd floor. This death game started a little over a month ago, for a VRMMORPG, this is still early game for everyone.
Everyone started out at about the same time so not a lot of players can stand out even if they wanted to. Even famous guilds and strong squads are relatively unknown at the current stage. Wu Yan is the only one who the players can readily recall hearing about.
Soloing a floor boss is something players who have not fought or even seen bosses like field bosses and floor bosses cannot relate to. They know he’s incredible, they just don’t know how incredible that feat was.
Only those who fought bosses before can truly appreciate the difficulty of fighting a 1v1 fight with a floor boss and then winning decisively.
Wu Yan knew he wouldn’t be able to escape the curse of fame, being hounded by players who wanted him to help them in some way. Hence, Wu Yan turned off his friend request function. There are only a few friends on his friend list, including the Black Cats.
The other players can only sigh in dejection. A certain beauty in a hood also got blocked because she couldn’t send a friend request to Wu Yan.
After they found out about his personal circle of friends, the other players sought to use this circle of friends to befriend him. If he was in their shoes, he would do the same thing as well…
He chuckled and he scratched his cheek.
“I see, well, I am sorry…”
Wu Yan gave her a suggestion with a puzzled look.
“Wait, can’t you guys just turn off the friend request function? Why waste your time dealing with each request?”
“The guild master wanted to do things this way…”
Sachi said.
“The guild master said most of these requests came from people with serious motivations. He ignored the ones who obviously just wanted to fool around. He wanted to establish good relationships with famous guild masters, strong leaders of organized squads, and etc. He said this would be better for the development of our guild…”
Wu Yan laughed.
“Sounds like you guys are unreasonably blaming for this. I see only willing parties who want to bother and be bothered. It sounds like you guys should thank me for providing you the opportunity to network with other players…”
“But it’s so tiring…”
Sachi yawned and she rubbed her eyes.
“Onii-san, are you ever going to meet them?…”
“Not even if my life depended on it!”
Wu Yan shook his head.
Are you kidding me?
Just look at Sachi, she’s tired just dealing with friend requests and PMs. If he met them, even a few lives wouldn’t be enough to recover the energy he would spend on them.
She felt pity for the other players because she knew he would say something like that.
“I feel bad for the players who came here specifically to see you…”
“Wait, wut. They came to this hotel?”
Wu Yan couldn’t ignore that last part.
“Won’t I get swarmed by a deluge of players first thing in the morning tomorrow?”
“No, I don’t think so.”
Sachi shook her head.
“A guild master called Heathcliff appeared and he dispersed the players camping around here.”
“Wew…”
Wu Yan released a sigh of relief.
“I have to thank that Heath…”
Wu Yan swiveled his head around towards Sachi.
“What was that? Repeat that player’s name one more time.”
“Heathcliff…’
Sachi frowned.
“He’s a guild master of the newly established guild known as the Knights of Blood Oath(KoB). They are not very numerous in number but the members are all elite players who are very capable on their own. They are rapidly rising in fame among all the guilds in SAO….”
“Knights of Blood Oath’s guild master, Heathcliff…”
Wu Yan squinted his eyes before he laughed.
