### Chapter 49: Accidental Collision
In response to the inquiries from the forum reporter, Night Star went all out with his nonsense and even introduced the concept of the “Rising Sun Theater Group” to him.
After a convoluted spiel, Night Star finally revealed his true intentions.
“In fact, we’re a performance organization, not professional gamers. Tomorrow we’ll be performing on the stage in the game entertainment area – please do come and support us!”
“Oh… Uh-huh.”
The forum reporter was utterly perplexed, completely failing to grasp any secrets about rapidly advancing from a novice to an advanced player.
Before he could probe further, Night Star led his troupe members away.
The forum reporter mulled over what he gathered and decided to fabricate some content himself.
“Shocking news! Game name: The Group Leader, Gentleman, and Fraudster – three players become advanced players from novices at the arena! The reason? They used special skills in the arena to overcome challenges multiple levels higher. It’s unclear how they obtained such powerful abilities; reportedly, they will publicly reveal their methods and strategies for attaining these skills tomorrow. Beginners with interest can check it out; it might just help your gaming experience.”
The reporter quickly jotted down the rough outline.
A little embellishment and it’s ready for posting.
With his enormous fan base, this story would undoubtedly bring up a heated discussion among gamers.
Though some parts were entirely fictitious, if the “Rising Sun Theater Group” indeed performs tomorrow, there would surely be a wave of attention.
Certainly, these players will inquire about the secret skills, leaving everyone wondering whether those lucky ones will spill the beans under such scrutiny.
Either way, this story has the potential to cause quite the stir, generating significant traffic for this forum poster.
It’s now out of his hands.

Switching scenes, we find ourselves with Night Star.
Walking beside Night Star, Rabbit Ink felt an urge to laugh for no reason.
“Will saying that really promote our troupe’s performance?”
“For sure!”
Night Star replied confidently.
“My gut tells me tons of people will show up tomorrow—no worries about running out of audience then!”
“Well, let’s hope so.”
Rabbit Ink didn’t mind much either.
She had been going with the flow, simply observing and not taking responsibility.
Although this Loli seemed suspicious, she trusted she could handle things.
Just as Night Star prepared to move on, a group of strangers suddenly appeared.
“Halt, gentlemen and ladies. Especially you three guys, we’ve seen your battle in the arena and found your skills fascinating. Could you tell us where you got them?”
Around five or six strangers emerged, appearing experienced.
First stunned, Night Star quickly caught on.
These folks probably aimed to get powerful skills.
However, acquiring such abilities wasn’t easy; it required knowledge of obscure events, tasks, or rewards within the game.
The troupe members’ displayed skills, not being standard abilities, sparked curiosity among other players, suggesting hidden skills.
But who would expect the group leader’s team demonstrated genuine supernatural powers?
Skills beyond the game could easily pass as cheats!
If official authorities learned about it, they’d definitely be sanctioned!
Even so, without the capability for sanctions, who knows, maybe suspensions only…
“No way I’m telling!”
Night Star stood defiantly, not flinching in the slightest.
His troupe stood tall behind him, granting her boundless courage.
In other words, leaning on others’ strength.
Upon hearing this, the gamers turned their gaze to his troupe behind.
The group leader whispered, “This means we mean it—it’s our collective decision.”
This caused their faces to darken somewhat.
“If you won’t tell us, then we resolve this via combat.”
Watching this unfold, a nearby roaming Night Watcher couldn’t help but cover his face, unable to watch further.
Meanwhile, inside the Night Watcher Base, Hei Yang fell silent watching the scene on the monitors.
How could these guys be stronger than the Sunlight Night Watchers?
Back to the scene,
“Combat?”
Night Star remembered last time with Mo Qianmeng encountering provocateurs.
Never did he think he’d run into one again.
He then looked behind him.
Rabbit Ink couldn’t help but grin.
“Piss poor.”
Ordinary gamers challenging superstars is like fish in a tank daring sharks.
Not that the gamers knew what they dealt with.
Still, this sight was rare indeed.
Ordinary folk rarely saw superstars before getting “infected.”
Hence, the Gentleman stepped forward.
“Since it’s a combat round, my skills can’t be ignored. Leave this to me.”
Seeing someone respond, another figure stepped out.
“Are you called Gentleman? You look pretty cool, and our levels are similar. Though you dominated the arena and seemed more intimidating, I have slight skepticism about whether you’re truly superior. We settle this through combat—if I win, you must tell us how to achieve your powerful skills.”
Nightstar agreed back.
“Deal! But if you lose, hand over your valuable items and scram!”
“A deal!”
Consider it a free treasure drop!
Night Star believed Gentleman would triumph.
Soon, a private arena formed,
Opponent and Gentleman facing off silently.
Then the opponent pulled out a magnificent saber.
“Ha ha! Gained this top achievement prize saber, top-tier in both quality and level. Players like you would be crippled with just one hit. Game over!”
Gentleman held basic gear, remaining silent.
Behind, Night Star tilted his head.
Who would’ve guessed strength came from such an awesome weapon? Hence his confidence.
By the way, Qianmeng had a powerful custom weapon. It could likely wipe out ordinary players in seconds.
But the opponent’s weapon seemed inferior compared to Qianmeng’s, still a significant threat.
From here, Night Star began cheering on Gentleman.
“Gentleman, go for it! Beat him and snatch that big saber!”
