Chapter 180 Gathered

After the comments opened up on the screen, Jesse began to read through them one by one.

[User1984: Very informative video; thank you! However, do you also have an upgraded class?]

'I expected people to ask about it.' Jesse thought and then moved on to the next comment.

[User456: I don't believe this! If this is true, why didn't Olympos and the rest tell everyone about the upgrade class token? It's understandable if they don't want to tell where they got their special classes, but there is no reason to keep upgrade tokens a secret, so this is another clickbait trash video!]

Jesse's eyebrow twitched at the idiotic comment, but he decided to ignore it and move on to the next comment.

[User095: OMG, I can't believe people actually fall for this nonsense!]

Another hate comment, but Jesse didn't care about it and moved on to the next comment.

[User111: If what you said is the truth, anyone can get an upgraded class if they are lucky enough to get it from the treasure chest. However, they must be incredibly rare!]

'I doubt the upgraded class tokens can be acquired from easy missions.' Jesse thought. 'If I was alone searching through the underground facility, I would have never discovered the buried mansion.'

[User900: Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies!!]

Jesse rolled his eyes and left the comments section, knowing that the following comments would be of similar nature.

Even the ones who somewhat believed his video had their doubts.

He lacked the credibility and evidence to support his claims.

'One day they will realize the truth.' Jesse thought and then closed the PC.

The time for his swordsmanship training was near.

...

In another room of the Rothsmith Estate.

Zach closed a book, stored it on the bookshelf between two hardcover books, and then picked up his backpack from the ground before hanging it over his shoulder.

One of the servants had already dialed his phone, as they were already waiting for him outside with the car ride that would take him to the school.

Before, he hated to go to school, but now none of his bullies dared to look in his direction.

Westlund, especially, looked like a frightened rabbit whenever he saw him walking down the corridors.

Zach had never seen that kind of expression in anyone's face before.

He had only heard about it from several books he had read.

The terror that stemmed from the heart was paralyzing.

After checking that he had all his books in the backpack, he walked over to his desk and checked the laptop.

The screen showed a paused audiobook, which he had been listening to earlier this morning.

It was on the ForeverTube website, where he often listened to different audiobooks.

He then used the laptop's mouse and planned to click on the "X" at the top right corner, but accidentally clicked ForeverTube's home image instead.

It sent him straight to the front page of the site, and he accidentally glanced at the featured videos.

Most of the time, those didn't interest him, but this time, he saw a name that stunned him.

"Ambrose?"

The book about Ambrose, the Immortal Man, flashed across his mind.

'I wonder if he named himself after reading that book.' Zach thought curiously and then closed the browser before leaving the room to start another day of school.

...

At the footstep of a towering mountain, surrounded by thin forest and several fallen trunks strewn about.

A yellow-haired young man walked from the thin forest and saw the cave entrance nestled between two large boulders.

Loud voices overlapped each other, echoing through the valley.

There were hundreds of adventurer-looking players surrounding the entrance—some seated on the fallen trunks, others standing with their own groups, and some examining the interior of the cave.

However, no one had entered the cave yet because, at the end of the cave, there was a locked door with intricate designs.

It was the door that led to Warhaven, the underground city.

There were clearly over twenty groups formed around the cave entrance.

They all bought the information from ShadowBlade, who managed to make a fortune by just selling the information.

"Quite many people had gathered." Leprechaun paced about while showing a stinky eye at the embarrassed-looking Bormund.

"I told him not to sell it yet, but he didn't listen." Bormund sighed.

He knew that ShadowBlade was scared that others might discover Warhaven. Thus, he wanted to sell the information as quickly as possible.

"It's alright." Layla cheerfully said while sitting on a fallen trunk, wearing thigh-high boots and a short skirt.

Behind Layla, Teddy stood with his arms crossed, his eyes dangerously narrowed as he looked at the groups gathered nearby.

Those groups occasionally sent glances in the direction of Layla and at the beautiful silver-haired girl seated beside her.

Serenity calmly looked around, but kept her rosy lips shut. She didn't participate in any of the conversations.

From the forest, the yellow-haired player finally stepped forth and soon heard a shout.

"Olympos, here!"

Olympos turned towards the sound, and saw a group of familiar-looking individuals.

They all had floating cameras floating around in the air.

After the name Olympos echoed across the air, many heads turned and looked surprised—some even starstruck—as they saw the yellow-haired man.

"Yo, John." Olympos walked over to them, and his own floating camera followed after him.

There was his own streaming interface floating next to him, which only he could see.

He joined the group that consisted only of streamers, and their group alone has currently five million viewers in total.

It was still small because it was morning, but later in the evening, that number would shoot up to thirty million.

Their group was easily the most famous, making all nearby guilds and parties rather nervous to be near them.

"Why were you so late?" 89John asked with a smile. "Luckily for you, that Shadow or whatever guy hadn't arrived yet."

"Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Beehave, a streamer with rank 99, asked with a frown. "He likes us to keep waiting? Who does he think he is?"

PinkDragon quietly stood while playing music from the Music Interface. The music wasn't transferred to her stream, so they only watched her standing.

However, that was enough to make her viewers satisfied, as the majority of them consisted of lonely men.

"Oh, I was making a new video." Olympos replied to his friend, John, with a smile. "With this one, the feature is guaranteed."

"Oh, confident, I see." 89John replied, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.

"I am sorry for being late!"

All heads turned to the clean-shaven player, who walked from the forest.

He lacked any noticeable features and was rather average.

ShadowBlade gulped after seeing so many people gathered.

Especially when he saw the group consisting of many top streamers.

He couldn't believe that he was going to be the guide for so many famous players.

"If anyone is ready, let's enter!" ShadowBlade took out his brass key and walked over to the door inside the cave.

Following him, all groups stood up and followed.

The viewers in the streams exploded in excitement as they were about to witness the new city, Warhaven!

After opening the door, ShadowBlade smelled the disgusting stench and felt rather scared.

He couldn't forget the sight of dozens of zombies jumping on top of him, eating his face, and tearing his body apart.

'I-It will be alright.' ShadowBlade took a deep breath and turned to look at others.

"There is a long walk ahead, so if anyone has torches, please walk ahead to light up the path."

They couldn't use minecart.

It could only fit two people, and it was still in Warhaven.

Since they died, they couldn't flick the switch that made the minecart return.

Hearing his words, several people took out torches from their inventory and took the lead.

Hundreds of players then entered the steep path that led deep into the underground.

Warhaven was finally going to be shown to the outside world.
