Ancestral Wealth Inheritance System-Chapter 175: Utterly Inhuman

```

Ding Xiaolei was a seasoned role-playing game player. Years ago, ever since Tencent released this game called Sword Soul World, its gorgeous graphics, intriguing mechanics, and rich gameplay captivated him.

After a year of grinding through events day and night, he had become one of the top free players in the game.

Their server boasted several big-spending players who long dominated the top of the PK Leaderboards. However, for these free players, this small number of whales was entirely acceptable. As long as their gear and skills were enough to slay bosses and complete storylines, the game experience was already quite satisfying.

On that particular day, he was leveling up in a map. The game had a feature where, at a fixed time every day, a powerful boss would appear on each map. For those big spenders, soloing these bosses was a breeze, but for them, they needed to band together to take them down.

Fortunately, each player could only challenge one boss per instance, so those wealthy players couldn’t compete with them once they’d monopolized a boss.

"Time’s almost up. Mad Lion King is about to spawn!" Ding Xiaolei hastily shouted in his friend list. This boss was of little interest to the whales but dropped fairly decent items and equipment, making it one of the most popular bosses among free players.

"I’m coming, I’m coming! Report coordinates!"

"Wait for me! Let me take a dump real quick!"

"I’m going to the warehouse to change gear!"

...

In less than five minutes, Ding Xiaolei and his friends gathered at Mad Lion King’s spawn point. They were incredibly excited, as some just needed to kill this boss one more time to complete an achievement quest.

"It spawned, it spawned!" one player shouted excitedly. A glow signaling the monster’s spawn began to illuminate the map. "Brothers, get ready!"

"Whoosh!" An intense light shot from the side, instantly striking Mad Lion King with a massive critical hit, depleting one-fifth of its health in one go.

"Who was that?" Ding Xiaolei immediately switched his view; their attack power couldn’t even inflict one-tenth of that damage. Only the top players across the server could manage such hits.

But why would they be interested in Mad Lion King? There were much better bosses awaiting them!

Ding Xiaolei glanced at that player’s name.

"Ma Teng Take Call 008."

"WTF? What kind of move is this?" Everyone had a similar question pop into their heads as they looked at that ID.

It was an ID that had never shown up before, but given the equipment and level, it was obvious that the name had just been changed recently. Explore more adventures at novelbuddy

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" A few skills from "Ma Teng Take Call 008" landed on the boss’s head, delivering the damage that would take their entire team half an hour to deal.

With a wretched scream, Mad Lion King vanished in a flash of golden light, leaving behind a heap of items, money, and equipment.

"Have any of you seen this ID before?" Ding Xiaolei typed a string of question marks on the public chat.

"Never seen it. Must be a new alias!"

"Judging by this, they must have spent at least ten thousand dollars."

"Ugh, nothing here today. I’m going back to my dump, see you tomorrow!"

...

Similar scenes unfolded in every server of Sword Soul World. Suddenly, a large number of high-level players emerged in these servers. Wherever there was a boss, they would be there, and each went by the name "Ma Teng Take Call XXX."

Throughout the night, the free players found no places to level up, so they logged off and flocked to the Sword Soul World game forum.

It was then they realized this wasn’t a series of isolated incidents; almost every populous server saw a surge of such players. They occupied the wild leveling maps, monopolized all the bosses and instances, making it almost impossible for others to participate in the game.

"Wow, these guys’ IDs are clearly a provocation to CEO Ma. Which gaming guild is this? Can I join?"

"The person above, this is clearly organized and disciplined behavior. The equipment of those players must be worth tens of thousands, so no wonder today the marketplace’s high-level gear got cleaned out, and all those premium accounts got bought!"

"Eating popcorn.")

"@CEO Ma, pick up your phone!"

"CEO Ma, please answer your phone. If this continues, the game will be unplayable!"

For a full three days, the group of high-level players seemed to have an agreement as they camped in various areas. With their involvement, a large number of players lost their gaming experience, with calls to quit the game rising rapidly in the forum.

Someone estimated that this ID had been seen at least up to number 875, which meant at least a billion had been spent in this game to assemble this team.

If this were a collective action from a wealthy guild, it would be understandable. But the game ID was likely the organized action of one person. Spending a billion in a game just to make Ma answer a phone call? What kind of play was this? Was this the legendary spending beyond reason?

Initially, the game department didn’t take it seriously. But after two days, they noticed online player numbers in Sword Soul World had sharply dropped by 30%, with even a lot of big-spending players leaving. What did this mean? This meant that the game was quickly headed toward its demise.

This news quickly reached Ma Teng. Now the entire game was filled with complaints. Many players stated that if they could not control the gaming experience, they would be done with it!

It was important to know that this game was based on time cards, so unlike mobile games where revenue came mainly from big spenders, these free players still accounted for a portion of the game’s income. If those players left, it would undoubtedly be a massive blow to the game.

At this time, another post appeared on the forum.

"Ma Teng Take Call 1111: A Revealing Look at Tencent Games’ Enhancement Rates:

Official statement, the +10 enhancement success rate for the Sword Soul World is 3%, yet today, I used 20,000 Enhancement Scrolls, and the success rate was only 0.97%!"

Below this post were enhancement videos and screenshots. If enhancing ten or a hundred times leaves room for randomness, then enhancing 20,000 times almost certainly proved the success rate was far from 3%, with a lot of manipulation!

"Damn! Boss Ma, you’re too underhanded. No wonder I spent so much money failing over and over. I thought I had African blood in me!"

"We demand a recalibration of success rates!"

"Boss Ma, return my hard-earned money!"

...

"Bang!" Ma Teng angrily smashed his phone onto the coffee table.

Was this person out of their mind or what? One Level 10 Enhancement Scroll cost 500 RMB, and with the +9 weapons used as raw materials, that added up to another billion. Was it necessary to do all this just to make him pick up a phone call?

"This is ridiculous!" Ma Teng knew the person behind this had to be the same person who called him days ago. They had said they would mess with Tencent’s games, and now they had actually done it!
