The pretty secretary who worked under Hans for quite some time knew all too well what the sudden activation of the in-game Heavenly Communication line in the room meant. Whenever he did or didn't have something going on, Hans would rush over to the communicator to check for any messages specifically left by the Revenge Shadow Rider.
As a secretary, one of her tasks was to check the communicator every hour when the manager wasn't around. She often wondered if a virtual network player could be that big of a deal. She'd considered Hans neurotic, but surprisingly, it seemed he had been right to expect something today.
In reality, the secretary didn't precisely know how significant the Shadow Rider was to Hans; it was his unnamed and unseen Revenge Shadow Rider who had helped him out when he was desperate. It was him that allowed Hans to achieve his current status and have a happy family. Hans already regarded the Shadow Rider as a form of personal faith. His missing presence made Hans appreciate the bond they had even more. In fact, Hans now cared more about him than his wife and children.
However, when the communicator rang, Hans realized, he was back.
The in-game line-transferring communicator hanging on the wall had collected a bit of dust, and upon receiving word from the Shadow Rider, Hans was surprised at first, but quickly calmed down, he was even more composed than he usually was. The Revenge Shadow Rider had never really been far away...
Once upon a time, there was much talk about Revenge Shadow Rider in Star Wars. He was a mysterious player who seldom showed himself.
Generally speaking, the Revenge Shadow Rider had a unique personality. He behaved modestly and was never swayed by money, beauty, or profit. His experienced battle style was widely recognized as unconventional, but he would always give his opponents a chance to show off. This unique charm of the Revenge Shadow Rider was probably why everyone liked him.
Shadow Rider won everyone's recognition through countless stunning battles. Even though general reviews noted that Shadow Rider's battle style was unique and not suitable for beginners to emulate, many players still tried and got addicted to it.
Today, the Revenge Shadow Rider had been missing for half a year. His discussion threads had significantly decreased in number, and those vague memories seemed to start to fade from most players' minds.
Some said Shadow Rider was merely a shooting star. Others argued that the Revenge Shadow Rider never existed, that it was just a publicity stunt by the Star Wars company. They could never explain the Flame Dual Slash, and so, was ultimately deemed to be a system bug by the players.
Regardless, he brought joy to the public, causing Mecha Battle fans to stay up all night. Even though Revenge Shadow Rider's presence had faded, those battles he fought were still considered as unbeatable classics.
However, things were different now. He was back, truly back. Hans clenched his fist hard, then frantically ran out of the room, shouting, "Quick, release the Star Domain Broadcast, and contact the media."
Hans's voice suddenly echoed throughout the three-story office building, making the beautiful secretary roll her eyes.
She didn't know much about Star Wars, and didn't see the fun in playing around with Mechas all day. Despite that, she had heard of the Revenge Shadow Rider. But things in Star Wars were different now. There were 2V2 battles, 3V3 battles, and team battles. As the saying goes, the new wave pushes the old wave. In this era of continual replacement, a fresh infusion of blood keeps injecting vitality into Star Wars. Many were even capable of challenging Red Cloak elites with their pain nerves deactivated.
As everyone knows, Ophelia was an almost Red Cloak member of Yingland. However, she was defeated twice by one of the top 100 gods in Star Wars. Although her opponent had a model advantage and pain nerves factors, it also demonstrated the potential of the new generation from a side view.
Many master-level players pointed out, being how the almost Red Cloak member was, Revenge Shadow Rider probably wouldn't be that much stronger. It was rather too overhyped. Shadow Rider defeated Ophelia and Jiu Ling through strength. But were they even considered strong?
Yingland Military Academy got furious. What does an ordinary master-level player know? Excluding the matter of pain nerves, the game had always catered to the public's needs. Recently, a brainwave control system was added, and it was still in the semi-testing phase. With this reason, plus the model factors, these caused Ophelia's failure.
The player who defeated Ophelia was Dovir, a genius student from Diya Military Academy, who passed the real-name verification. He was also a heartthrob idolised by countless girls at Diya.
Although Dovir didn't express anything after he defeated Ophelia, he did declare a challenge to the Revenge Shadow Rider. He estimated that his chances of winning were high. In a way, this was also a disdain for Ophelia.
Many netizens thought Dovir was too arrogant, but Dovir indeed had the basis to challenge. Both he and Shadow Rider had always won all their matches. While Shadow Rider continuously participated in battles of a higher level through matchups, so did Dovir. What difference did they possess then?
As for the model issue, it was merely a personal preference in control habits, not Dovir trying to gain some advantage. There was no need to get used to a new model if one was accustomed to a specific type. Of course, Shadow Rider was an exception. There isn't a more difficult to control Mecha than the Phantom Knight 0001. However, Dovir declared that he would allow Revenge Shadow Rider to change his model for their battle.
The discussion got heated once his post was out. No one paid attention to posts made by ordinary players, but Dovir was different. He was one of the top 100 players who had defeated Jiu Ling. His strength was unfathomable, and his influence was enough to cause a network sensation.
Many die-hard fans of Revenge Shadow Rider were frustrated and challenged Dovir, only to be beaten badly. After defeating them several times, Dovir stopped accepting challenges from ordinary players. After all, he had to practice real Mecha fighting at the Military Academy every day. Where would he find the time to play with these noobs?
In the end, many female fans spontanleously formed groups claiming to fight on behalf of Dovir. The reality proved that these girls were quite powerful. In most cases, the battles were mostly one-sided; they could usually beat the Revenge Shadow Rider's lineup into crying for their mothers.
In reality, most of these female fans who organized spontaneously were students from Diya, mid-level players with a certain depth of understanding of mechas. But the fanbase of Revenge Shadow Rider was so broad that primary school students and noobs vastly outnumbered them. This inevitably led to a massacre.
As for the high-level fans of Shadow Rider, most of them find it beneath them to go head-to-head with a bunch of women. After all, who you become depends on who you follow. People in this era like to jump on the bandwagon. Most believe that if Revenge Shadow Rider were there to see it, he certainly wouldn't bother to deal with those women.
The turmoil had been going on for more than a month and hadn't ceased just yet. Dovir's group believed that Shadow Rider was avoiding war and did not dare to show up. Those in the Shadow Rider lineup fought back even more fiercely, disparaging Dovir by pointing out that Shadow Rider wasn't afraid of even the famous figures like Saudi Red Cloak and Jiu Ling, so why them.
Both sides fought fiercely, while the neutral lineup enjoyed the show. At this critical moment, the Star Wars company suddenly made a public announcement, causing many peoples to think they had read it wrong. After a careful look, they found that it was indeed a system notification: Revenge Shadow Rider will be online sharply at six o'clock tonight, be there or be square!
(The performance of this book is not very satisfactory at all, the subscription makes me want to pull my hair out. I don't know if there is a problem with the book itself. I find that since the beginning, I didn't have the motivation to write with passion. I think back to a thousand words a day in the old book, well...nevermind, the performance of the old book wasn't that great either. I don't know how many friends truly like this book. If you do like it, please subscribe to this book. Your support is my strength.)
