Having been absent from Star Wars for a while, Feng Yi, who was rather confident about his path ahead as an unbeatable test pilot of the Mecha repair shop, thought it was about time he went online to practice his operational sense. He decided to find some opponents today for practice.

Right now, the Revenge Shadow Rider's following stood at fifty thousand, a seemingly unreachable height for a player who had only fought three times. His modest fan base couldn't match up to Athena's smallest fraction, but it held great commercial potential. If Revenge Shadow Rider were to continuously win battles for a month, Star Wars would have been in an uproar.

However, Feng Yi didn't care much about such fleeting, exaggerated things. Man is a group that changes their minds easily. They would jump on the bandwagon when you're shining brightly for novelty's sake. But when you're defeated, they'd dust off their hands and leave, even ridicule you. They liked the undefeated Shadow Rider, so this fragile fan base might collapse very easily.

Finding 17,000 challenge letters in his mailbox, Feng Yi couldn't help laughing. If his material conditions allowed, he wouldn't give up on Star Wars. Fortunately, Wind Thunder generously provided aid in the form of vigorous training allowance. Otherwise, he wouldn't know where to get money with his impoverished small body. He wouldn't stoop so low as to start live-streaming to earn money. Feng Yi just wants to enhance his overall talent in the limited time of military academy – be it fighting, knowledge or anything as it is hard for him to lose what he learns.

The discussion about the presence of the Revenge Shadow Rider among the players had greatly fallen. At that time, he appeared out of nowhere and continuously beat his opponents, but the constant passage of time was causing memories of him to fade, disappearing as quickly as a mirage.

Yes, the Revenge Shadow Rider's departure did only confirm the conclusion of many: he was a coward, afraid, eager to protect his ludicrous honor at all cost and retreat from the world, sadly, only to be met with more mockery and criticism online... Once a mysterious expert in the forum challenged the Revenge Shadow Rider and proclaimed that he would never log into Star Wars again if he lost.

The news set off a spark among countless netizens, causing the fans of that player to nearly double in number. On the contrary, those who followed the Revenge Shadow Rider lambasted him non-stop.

Only a few players strongly defended the Revenge Shadow Rider's stance. Charlotte once claimed he wasn't that type of person, only to be met with countless rebukes. For her livelihood, the girl ultimately chose to shut up. After all, she was a small contracted commentator at most, a semi-public figure. Perhaps one wrong statement might cost her livelihood, as some of the higher-ups might be hiding among those lambasting the Shadow Rider.

Ding …

The special prompt sounded. Hearing it, Charlotte hesitated for a moment. She was discussing video editing with two die-hard fans of the Revenge Shadow Rider and was planning to cut down and compile cool moments of the Revenge Shadow Rider into a montage, when all three of them froze!

"He's online now." There was no doubt about who Charlotte was talking about.

Charlotte immediately hung up the call and followed the Revenge Shadow Rider, switching to third-person perspective. Even though it was not her usual commentary time, she was willing to stay late to livestream direct battles between for the Revenge Shadow Rider.

She couldn't quite put her finger on why, but upon seeing the Revenge Shadow Rider go online, a burst of fiery enthusiasm rose within her! Perhaps she had been suppressing her emotions for too long and had nowhere to vent, she suddenly had an idea. Taking advantage of her powers as a commentator, she would match up the Revenge Shadow Rider with a real expert in Star Wars. She wanted those who denied the Revenge Shadow Rider to recognize that he wasn't as weak as they imagined. He never fled. Why would someone commanding Revenge Shadow Rider fear defeat?

The Revenge Shadow Rider stood still as the dusty wind made a rustling sound against his sturdy mecha, adding a bit of solemn silence to the seemingly quiet desert...

Looking at the steel statue, Charlotte felt a vague sense of loneliness. At this moment, she felt as if she could empathize with the Revenge Shadow Rider's feelings. The Revenge Shadow Rider was not how people said he was – he just didn't want to express his thoughts. He was silent, not wordy, and never made verbal attacks when provoked by his opponents in the past. His personality was one of a humble winner and a good loser. He hadn't ever insulted or demeaned anyone. After winning a battle, he'd just quietly log off.

Such a player deserves everyone's respect. Importantly, Charlotte felt deep gratitude towards him, If not for him, she wouldn't have her current prestigious lifestyle. She owes where she's at today to the Shadow Rider.

Charlotte resisted her urge to match Revenge Shadow Rider with a pro. It would be disrespectful and unfair to him. After some pondering, she decided to send him a system letter as a commentator. She was so excited that she didn't pay attention to editing and sent the message.

System letters differed from player letters. Seeing the special prompt, Feng Yi casually opened it…

"Hello, player. Looking at your prowess, you are eligible for a cross-level challenge in this match-up. Are you willing to accept?"

Wow, even the system is promoting such messages, and with typos! Well, let's fight then. Feng Yi casually replied with two words: "Sure". He logged in to fight with real experts. Win or lose wasn't important to him. Having said that, he instantly clicked on the battle matching option.

Charlotte didn't have much hope originally. The Revenge Shadow Rider was odd and unpredictable. Sometimes he's a cold warrior, dismissive of interviews, and sometimes he's a fun and whimsical prankster. His plate-throwing technique could be hilarious. She didn't expect him to agree so readily. It seemed he wasn't as thick as she thought.

Within minutes, all the players who liked the Revenge Shadow Rider showed up, as did those who didn't like him. Even some who didn't know him came because of his reputation.

"Dude, the Revenge Shadow Rider is online. Let's go watch."

"Who's the Revenge Shadow Rider? I don't know him."

"I don't know him either. Let's just go watch."

"If you don't know him, why watch? It would be better to learn how to modify a mecha. You know, my girlfriend fell for me because of it. You need to learn more. I have a date later anyway. That's it."

"Oh, is this the guy you mentioned, the one driving the Phantom Knight getting all the abuse a while ago?"

"Crap, it's him!" The friend didn't let his buddy finish, but instead ran off to watch the Shadow Rider's fight. There's always time to find a girl, but it would be a missed opportunity to lambaste this guy if he logged off.

In reality, it wasn't that people were upset at the Shadow Rider because he feared fighting. It was rather that he has an intense and thrilling knack for turnarounds that made people watch him relentlessly. This led to many players coming out of the woodwork to explode at him. Once he really goes online, of course, the majority of players would be willing to give him another chance.
