My Wife is a Hidden Big Shot-Chapter 79 - 75: Boxer Goes Online

The video was a recording of the group fighting the second-floor boss, Blazewing.

Madam Whitlock had told everyone in the party channel to retreat 15 yards. Then, with a basic movement Skill, [Stealing Step], she flickered into the midst of the decimated party.

A brilliant holy light flared wherever she went, and after she passed, everyone was revived at full health. At the same time, Madam Whitlock was also unleashing attack Skills, landing one massive critical hit after another.

[Barron: If pro-level players can control 10 units at once, Madam Whitlock just revived 18 of us to full health simultaneously. Add to that her critical hits... you can probably only land crits with non-stop damage output, right? So what does that make her APM?]

Upon seeing this, the veteran players in the group chat all went silent, just lurking. This video was far more direct than the shorter clips posted before; it was impossible to fake.

Just then, Lorraine’s sister, Autumn, sent another message.

[Autumn: There’s a type of plugin called a cheat engine.]

Barron was immediately displeased and retorted via voice chat, "We were running The Abyss Dungeon."

Conquest of Glory was the online game with the strictest anti-cheating measures. All high-difficulty dungeons and world bosses used an intelligent cheat detection system that would issue an instant ban upon discovery.

They had been in the dungeon for nearly two hours, from the moment they entered until they exited. Not getting banned after all that time could only mean one thing: Madam Whitlock hadn’t used any cheats in the game.

[Autumn: Maybe the cheats just got more advanced?]

Her words were just grasping at straws. Barron was so angry he couldn’t be bothered to engage with her any longer.

But Autumn wasn’t about to let him off the hook so easily.

[Autumn: It’s not good to have such a narrow view of things, newbie!]

[Autumn: She should be thanking the game company for not detecting her cheats!]

As soon as that message was sent, four high-ranking members of the guild consecutively dropped four messages into the chat:

[Mr. Mason: Master Rory is right next to me. Confirmed, no cheats.]

[Young Lord Shawn: Inside the dungeon, Madam Whitlock’s damage output fluctuated normally. Doesn’t look like she was using cheats.]

[King of All Junglers: I watched the whole thing. I’d estimate Master Rory’s APM is over 800.]

[Mr. Know It All: The server was shut down because Master Rory triggered a hidden profession. The condition was a 500-hit uninterrupted combo. Madam Whitlock was following right behind her and healing the whole time, so there’s no way she could have been using cheats.]

With all four heavyweight veterans testifying, Autumn was utterly and publicly refuted.

The guild’s newer members cheered happily in the chat, spamming all sorts of mocking stickers and forcing Autumn to go silent and log off.

With the server down for three days, the internet cafe squad had no choice but to go home and focus on studying for their exams.

The server shutdown was even pushed to the top of the entertainment news platforms by Conquest of Glory players.

Everyone was speculating about the new profession. This was the first time a Veridian player had triggered a hidden profession since the legendary player White from Veridia’s Server 1 did it years ago.

The Summoner’s hidden profession is called the Mechanic. Although White triggered the hidden profession, he has yet to actually change his class to Mechanic.

Many old-school players logged on to reminisce about the legend.

In the past, Veridian players were indeed weaker overall compared to players from countries like Crestland. Even when it came to triggering hidden content, other countries were far ahead of Veridia.

It was said that all Seven Great Professions had a hidden counterpart. Among the first players to trigger them, three were from Crestland and two were from Niphoria. Only one, triggered by Summoner White, was from Veridia, which was considered a disgrace by Veridian players at the time.

Because of this, everyone had been holding their breath, desperately searching for the trigger method for the final hidden profession. They had even staked their national pride on it. Unfortunately, after all these years, no one had managed to trigger it—not even players from other countries.

No one would have ever thought that the trigger for the assassin’s hidden profession would be in a Level 30 dungeon, let alone that the conditions would be so demanding.

After the old-school players explained the history, the newer members of the [Apex Dominion] guild felt a sense of shared honor and immediately started bragging about it online.

Soon after, the ID "Master Rory" was pushed to the top of the trending charts by players.

Some even tried to dox Master Rory to find out their real identity, but the topic was immediately taken down by a mysterious force.

Several other popular topics about Conquest of Glory were also suppressed as collateral damage, replaced with topics related to the upcoming college entrance exams.

Everyone guessed that the authorities were probably managing public discourse.

After all, the college entrance exams were just around the corner.

***

The college entrance exams were scheduled for Thursday and Friday. At Zeke Quincy’s request, Jade Sinclair agreed to let him and Jean Quincy stay at Tanner Sinclair’s house.

The three exam-takers received special treatment from the entire family.

Even Titus Miles, who usually loved playing with Aurora Sinclair, obediently stayed by Butler Sinclair’s side so as not to disturb the three of them while they studied.

Despite the tense atmosphere, the Conquest of Glory Veridian server rebooted at 3:34 PM on Monday. Zeke Quincy and Aurora Sinclair logged into the game at the first opportunity to check the changes to the assassin’s hidden profession.
