Chapter 134: Apologize
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Sunflower’s triumph was prominently featured on the official page of the game, ensuring that anyone who logged in would immediately see it. This was Hua Yue’s suggestion; she wanted to ensure that everyone bore witness to Boss’s victory.
This battle became legendary within ‘Future City.’ After all, Sunflower not only secured victory but also did so against an opponent employing a cheating device.
This essentially meant defeating a sophisticated program, showcasing that her skills surpassed even the computer’s calculation abilities. She was a player capable of surpassing the computer’s operations.
Even foreign players witnessed this remarkable victory and upon returning to their respective servers, made considerable efforts to spread the news, ensuring that players on other servers learned about Sunflower.
Conversely, Eric’s team faced widespread disdain. They had initiated a challenge against Sunflower but resorted to using a cheat to secure victory. It was a tactic widely viewed as shameless.
BoxNovel.comSomeone even posted an analytical thread assessing Eric’s team’s achievements since they had started playing the game. The analysis revealed that most of their accomplishments were attributable to Spring Snow, with Eric contributing very little.
Moreover, Eric’s chat history with female players was distasteful, filled with teasing language.
Prompted by the sudden appearance of this post, others began investigating Eric’s team members. They scrutinized every player’s in-game operations and combat experiences, revealing that only the captain, Eric, was genuinely questionable.
Despite his leadership role, he predominantly idled, benefiting from the hard work of his team members, who appeared to serve as his diligent, complaint-free subordinates.
Regarding the Grassi player, they found her no better. She frequently teamed up with others to complete missions but made minimal contributions, merely waiting for the point distribution after mission completion. Her behavior was akin to a blood-sucking leech.
Amid these revelations surfacing within the game, Song Yin was confronted by Song Ting’s inquiries outside of it. She stood in the study with her head lowered, seemingly wishing to melt into the ground’s cracks.
Song Ting regarded her and said, “You’re now a high school student, and your primary focus should be on your studies. While relaxation is important, it’s distressing to learn that you’ve invested in a cheating device. The Song Family has always upheld an honorable reputation, never resorting to underhanded methods. Today, you bought a cheating device for a game; what’s to stop you from purchasing exam answers tomorrow?”
Song Ting’s heart ached. Song Yin had always been obedient and diligent in her studies and life. She never caused anyone to worry about her academic performance. Even though she might not be a genius, she consistently ranked among the top students at school.
However, now she had cheated—not only in a game, but the concern was that this behavior could extend to real life in the future. It was imperative to guide Song Yin’s thinking back onto the right path.
As Song Ting posed this question, Song Yin couldn’t help but sob, tears streaming down her face, attempting to appear as pitiable as possible.
She gazed at Song Ting, her eyes welling with tears, and said, “Brother, I made a mistake. I just wanted to enjoy the game and relax, but a friend in the game insisted on challenging someone and needed me to join to make up the numbers. Then, they sent me a document to open. I never expected it to be a cheat.”
Song Yin was quick to shift the blame to someone else, confident that Song Ting couldn’t gather evidence. She believed that by crying and appearing helpless, she could evade responsibility.
Had Song Fan been present to hear this, she might have burst into laughter. Song Yin never truly acknowledged her mistakes. In her eyes, as long as something benefited her, it was justified.
Song Ting’s expression softened slightly upon hearing Song Yin’s explanation, but he maintained a stern tone, “You’re not a child anymore. You can’t simply do whatever others ask of you. Even if you didn’t initiate it, you are still involved. While this is within the context of a game, you should still apologize to the players affected.”
Song Ting’s perspective was straightforward. When one makes a mistake, they must have the courage to admit it. Avoiding responsibility was irresponsible behavior, and such a person did not uphold the values of the Song Family.
Confronted with Song Ting’s sternness, Song Yin momentarily forgot her tears. She wished she could vanish from the game instantly. How could she possibly send an apology now?
Nonetheless, Song Ting had set the expectation, and failing to comply would tarnish her image further in his eyes. All the effort she had put into upholding her reputation would go to waste.
Song Yin bit her lip and remained silent, but her body language communicated her reluctance to comply..
