Chapter 076: Accidentally Offending the Whole World Once Again

An hour later, the world channel of the Dancing Universe in the Fama battle zone was still awash with a string of crimson messages.

The Wandering Dance God’s “Snail” solo version at 40 bpm has defied all odds, attaining the Great Water Realm!

Every three to five minutes, the system announcement would appear across the entire Fama server, until at last the world fell quiet.

No one knew how much time had passed when a player named “Dancing Is My Handsomeness” posted a message.

W-what? The Wandering Dance God? That’s the initial dance ID given by the system; anyone daring to use it is either a master or a clueless newbie.

The message was picked up by “The Passing Dance God” — Let me share with you, as someone who’s been through it, my old tales of blood and tears. A year ago, because I didn’t change my name, I was targeted by all the top players for solo and team matches, and got beaten in all 3578 scenarios. Now this new player is about to suffer.

Calling out Little Cold — Is this Wandering Dance God not a newbie? A master’s alt? Preparing for next year’s Grand Tournament?

I’m About to Shake My Legs Off — Whether a newbie or not, his dance skills are extraordinary. The Great Water Realm across the entire server!

Who Wants to Dance With Me — Ten years ago, the top player “Flying Dance” in Fama only managed to reach the Mad Demon Realm on these songs. Now he’s already a transcendent dancer. In other words, could this Wandering Dance God truly become the Dance God?

Big Shark — Brothers and sisters, the situation is serious. I just checked, and this Wandering Dance God brought a girl, “Little Fang,” whose skills are normal, nowhere near transcendent. But how could he be taking her to open a room, and in solo dance mode at that?

I Love Red Plum — Could it be our Fama server is malfunctioning? After all, the impact of the Queen’s National Lock is considerable.

Electro Dance Demon — Doesn’t matter if he’s a newbie, or if he’s cheating. Now, he either changes his name or challenges the entire server.

Classic Breeze — A hundred people should send him challenge requests, everyone else prepare to gather reinforcements.

After the two legends, Electro Dance Demon and Classic Breeze, spoke up, the players grew excited.

Hundreds of messages were sent out at lightning speed, and the top players of Dancing Universe across Fama received them.

The next moment, all those masters did the same thing: hurried home, grabbed their game helmets, and entered the virtual world.

The online count, which started at 120,000, skyrocketed with wild abandon: 500,000, 800,000, 1.2 million, 3 million, all within mere minutes.

The reason for such a dramatic surge was purely theatrical.

Upon entering the game, Chen Fang would change her name to Little Fang, partly out of fear of being recognized, partly because she preferred the name as spoken by Le Xiaotian, brimming with affection.

Le Xiaotian did not change his name, feeling it unnecessary, and since the system imposed no requirement.

What he didn’t know was that daring to use the initial dance ID in Dancing Universe left a player with only two options: quit or continue playing.

To continue playing, there were only three paths:

One, change your name.
Two, get ruthlessly beaten by the top players every day.
Three, surpass all rivals and dominate the server.

In truth, almost no one dared to do this. Newbies who slipped up would quit, start a new account, change names, or be beaten into submission.

A few masters might achieve results in small towns and city dance-offs, only to be bested in the grand cities or national battles, then change names, quit, or start anew.

Now, there were fewer than ten players on the Fama server still using their initial dance IDs.

Inside room 5201314, Le Xiaotian was dancing with great enthusiasm. After more than ten songs, he felt he was truly in the groove.

Dancing Universe was a game designed for players to gradually improve their dance skills step by step according to standards, but he was doing the opposite.

He ignored the nine major prompts of the game, instead relying on his exceptional musical intuition to dance directly.

Meanwhile, Chen Fang was elated. After dozens of failures, she finally achieved the Transcendent Realm in her favorite song, “Peerless Grace,” earning a perfect score.

Not only that, she also acquired a dance skill — “Spin.”

Of course, the early stages of the game were quite simple; otherwise, no one would play.

Still, attaining Transcendent Realm plus a dance skill was essentially the ultimate starter’s luxury package.

The other eight aspects progressed extremely slowly; gaining even a single point was a herculean task, and acquiring dance skills was harder still.

Some people played for a year and only managed three or five dance skills.

But the game’s advantage was precisely this: after a player mastered a dance skill, it translated into real-world proficiency. Since the entire body was involved, this virtual world was 99.99% fused with reality.

Her latest results: Grace — 100 points. Power — 2 points. Speed — 3 points. Scale — 1 point. Harmony — 5 points. Precision — 3 points. Expression — 6 points. Facial expression — 2 points. Breath — 1 point.

It was, frankly, pitiful. Yet optimistically, she could now spin three times without dizziness, her dance elegant and captivating.

Just as she was about to dance again, she noticed the world channel’s messages.

She was instantly stunned.

A stream of messages flooded the room’s loudspeaker, all repeating the same intent — come out and dance-off!

Glancing at Le Xiaotian, who was dancing exuberantly in nothing but shorts, Chen Fang quickly pondered.

After entering the game together, they started in a private room, never interacting with other players.

In other words, it wasn’t likely his shorts offended anyone. The only possible reason was his recent dances.

Browsing the world channel, Chen Fang understood the cause.

When Le Xiaotian finished another song, she approached him, saying, “Xiaotian, check the world channel.”

With a thought, the light screen appeared. With a swipe, he took in the situation.

Once he understood, he smiled. “It’s fine, ignore them. Come, I’ll lead you in a dance.”

Chen Fang worried, “Why don’t we avoid trouble and just change your name? After all, we won’t be playing for long.”

Le Xiaotian chuckled, “If you weren’t here, I might consider it. But surrendering in front of a beautiful woman like you? That would be disgraceful.”

Chen Fang replied, exasperated, “Can you stop with the nonsense? If you really care, then let’s quit the game right now. Take me as you wish, any position you like.”

Le Xiaotian stopped, laughing, “Since you said so, I’ll go meet them head-on.”
