(Two in One)_3 The “Testing the Sword” event was not as nerve-wracking as it only involved arena matches.
All he had to do was to run as fast as possible after the matches.
However, the “Sword of Heaven” was a different matter altogether.
This event was a pure free-for-all among the players, and every time he participated, he would be mercilessly pursued, instantly becoming the center of attention, even more than a glowing Uranium Sword.
After all, the value of a weapon is hard to determine, but the value of his head was very clear—
Each kill was worth three hundred dollars in cash, and as long as there was money in the “Prize Pool”, it was infinitely redeemable!
Imagine then, the uproar among idle players, who would pursue him even more passionately than they would a sword.
Yet, Red Dust stood out amidst the “public scrutiny” and not only stirred up the players, but also managed to snatch the Sword of Heaven!
The reason behind his achievement was partly due to his years of martial arts training in reality, which gave him a strong foundation, as well as his agility-focused build and extensive learning of lightness skills in the game, which provided formidable maneuverability.
However, the main reason was his “research ability”—
He invested all his money into purchasing materials to make large batches of “itchy powder”.

Whenever he appeared in public, he would carry a huge sack of it.
Whenever he was pursued, he would hold his breath and scatter the powder while running, just like a fairy scattering flowers.
Initially, the players pursuing him were not vigilant enough and inhaled several waves of the powder.
As a result, half of the players pursuing him, both men and women, logged out immediately.
The remaining half, who were determined not to give up, undressed while scratching themselves, shouting at him not to run.
On hearing this, Red Dust would scatter another bag of itchy powder without a word, inciting a chorus of curses.
Soon, the scene was filled with men and women in their underwear, scratching themselves while wielding various weapons to chase Red Dust.
The sight was both outrageous and explicit.
While fleeing, Red Dust would even provocatively turn back to take their pictures…
Since the range of the powder could not be accurately controlled, innocent bystanders often got involved.
These unfortunate bystanders would sometimes angrily join the chase, lengthening the already long line of explicit chasing and even overshadowing the Sword of Heaven…
With this “secret weapon”, Red Dust ran rampant for some time.
Then, those following him switched to using clockwork guns, and there were more pursuers who were fiercer.
A lot of them switched from chasing for the bounty to a personal vendetta.
However, even so, he appeared punctually at 8 o’clock every day in the public world, provoking everyone’s nerves, even if he was chased until he was downright helpless, even occasionally getting killed, he never gave up.
He was determined to get under people’s skin.
As time went on, it became a kind of artificial carnival.
Even players who held no grudges and didn’t want to make money came just to join the fun.
In the process, many NPCs were inevitably affected, some buildings collapsed, and dozens of shops were burnt down.
Red Dust’s already plummeting moral points reached a new low.
Yet, he remained unaware of this, only finding it strange that the prices of raw materials for the itchy powder had gone up.
According to the development team’s assessment, Red Dust brought an astonishing amount of buzz to the game.
He had successively won a Sword of Heaven amidst layers of pursuit and fierce competition, and his performance in the individual tournament of “Testing the Sword” was also quite outstanding—he was expected to enter at least the global top 64.
Given these circumstances, he was entirely qualified to be named in the list of [Honorary Players] in February.
But…
Naming a player with ridiculously low moral points, who was being chased by other players every day as an Honorary Player…
just the thought of it gave Randall a headache.
—Is this truly honorable?
“Well…” Lincoln also hesitated for a while.
However, in the end, he decided: What’s in the Game World, should solely belong to the Game World, it shouldn’t intertwine too much with reality.
If a player misbehaves in the virtual world, it doesn’t necessarily mean they have a poor character.
These are two different things.
The punishment for misbehavior in the virtual world should also take place within the game and not exceed its boundaries.
“Moral points do not represent a player’s character.
It should not factor into the [Honorary Player] designation.”
“Alright.” Randall nodded without further comment.
After settling the “Chang’an” business, Lincoln took Mavis and Victoria to the Pacific Rim project team.
In the last few days, he had been taking a hands-off approach with the Pacific Rim project team because their main tasks were related to world-building—creating city maps, mech bases, important characters, mech and monsters of all grades, etc.
Adjustments to the main storyline, mech upgrade and modification plans, development of more gameplay options, and other details were still in the discussion phase.
And today, it was Lincoln’s turn to review their discussion results and finalize the plan.
