As the Star Eclipse bug's power invaded the entire gaming entertainment district's database, [Data Loophole] quickly gained control over players' game accounts.
[Data Loophole] glanced at the game names of those present and swiftly tampered with their account data.
Meanwhile.
Ye Xing quickly noticed something was wrong with her account.
"Hm?"
She saw her game level had suddenly returned to level one for some reason, as if the account had just been created.
"How is this possible!?"
Then she looked at other data and found everything was gone.
Including the small achievements and rewards gained from playing many games, and even the rare item just obtained from the unknown gamer!
All gone!
Ye Xing turned to look at the game levels of others around her, finding they had also returned to level one.
"Uwah! Why is this happening!?"
Seeing Ye Xing's flustered state of shouting, [Data Loophole] felt a sense of satisfaction.
Because in his past life, he had been surpassed by a malicious player using game bugs while trying to achieve the highest score in a certain game.
That malicious player had taken away the highest achievement he had dreamed of day and night, which was utterly despicable.
He still remembered the taunts and sneers of that malicious player before leaving, as if mocking his efforts as worthless.
That guy seemed to feel satisfied by this, always being the first to discover game loopholes, then using the loopholes before they were fixed to seize the best scores.
He seemed to enjoy seeing the frustrated expressions of serious gamers, taking pleasure in it.
[Data Loophole]'s previous self felt resentful after discovering that player was using bugs. While walking home, he encountered an accident and was killed by a speeding car.
So he transformed into another form of existence, becoming a hidden loophole in the gaming entertainment district, always hiding in the shadows using the identity of a mysterious player to dominate rankings by exploiting created game bugs.
Then he felt satisfied watching those players' incredulous and frustrated expressions, ultimately becoming the kind of person he hated.
[Data Loophole] wouldn't allow any game players other than himself to play games using cheating methods, so he came up with the idea of initializing their game levels.
Isn't this also a form of obsession?
Seeing the silver-haired, red-eyed girl's heartbroken scene, [Data Loophole] felt very satisfied.
On the troupe's side.
Ye Xing wore a dejected expression.
"Uu... It's all gone, a whole day's effort wasted... Who did this...?"
The troupe members behind her remained silent, not yet thinking of words to comfort the Spectator.
At this moment, Ye Xing looked towards a certain data humanoid watching the commotion with glee.
"Was it you!? You despicable thing!"
As soon as she finished speaking, all troupe members looked towards the nearest data humanoid.
The Troupe Leader's eyes concealed a hint of cold light, extremely dangerous.
The Gentleman's expression was no longer gentle, looking extremely cold.
The Deceiver's lips bore an indecipherable smile, like a demon's grin.
Other members also wore scrutinizing gazes, as if questioning.
When fixed by their gazes, [Data Loophole] clearly sensed a crisis of survival, quickly sinking into the ground, returning to the deepest part of the database through electronic circuits.
"Hehehe, even if you're upset with me, what can you do? No one but me can enter here, you're all noobs."
Ye Xing looked tearfully in the direction where the data humanoid disappeared.
"So it was really him? What a bad guy!"
At this point, the Gentleman comforted her: "Spectator, there's no need to feel sad about this. Such an impolite fellow will eventually face retribution. The satisfaction of you bringing us out to relax is today's greatest gain."
The Deceiver also nodded lightly.
"Indeed, after all, we didn't come here for that illusory game data. Tomorrow's performance is what's worth looking forward to."
The Troupe Leader gently patted Ye Xing's head, seemingly soothing her.
"Let's go back."
"Mm..."
With this, Ye Xing could only accept her bad luck.
If she didn't think that guy wasn't worth making a wish over, she would have retaliated already.
The Rising Sun Troupe seemed to let that low-level Star Eclipse off as if nothing had happened.
But... was it really like that?
Mo Tutu followed behind the troupe members, wearing a faint smile.
These days, even low-level Star Eclipses dare to provoke Superior Star Eclipses.
Where did this courage come from?
Oh no, perhaps it was because the Spectator and Singer's interference was too severe, causing that guy hiding in the database to not sense it.
He definitely couldn't have imagined that everyone present was like a BOSS character in the game.
And he himself was just someone who hadn't left the newbie village.
So, did the Troupe Leader and others take action just now?
Amusing.
Inside the database.
[Data Loophole] suddenly discovered something.
Unfamiliar things seemed to appear in his consciousness.
Three forces that didn't belong to him.
Suddenly, his consciousness was eroded by the power of deception, and what he saw was no longer the database.
But inside a pitch-black theater.
Three men stood before him, all wearing expressionless faces.
They were the illusions of the Troupe Leader, Deceiver, and Gentleman.
Their illusions emitted an aura from higher existences, bringing [Data Loophole] a terrifying sense of oppression, bringing infinite fear!
"Your behavior was not polite, pay the price for your discourteous actions."
A voice suddenly entered his consciousness, and a sudden piercing pain instantly made him lose consciousness.
His original obsession was instantly erased by this force.
Then a black feather hidden in his consciousness glowed faintly, absorbing all the remaining parts.
Back on the ground.
Before the Troupe Leader stepped into the theater entrance, a black feather floated into his hand and was tucked into his magic hat.
Everything returned to calm.
Meanwhile.
The Night Watchers responsible for this matter came to the system room of the gaming entertainment district. Night Watchers with electronic-related Stars were detecting loopholes in the database and other anomalies.
But strangely... many bugs were found, but not a trace of the Star Eclipse's existence could be sensed.
"Um... the Star Eclipse seems to have disappeared."
"Strange, how could a Star Eclipse disappear for no reason? Could it be hiding too deep?"
"That should be impossible. My Star can sense all abnormal data in the gaming entertainment district. I can even find bugs that ordinary technicians can't find, let alone the more obvious Star Eclipse fluctuations."
The Night Watchers present fell into contemplation.
Suddenly someone thought of something.
"Is there a possibility that the Star Eclipse offended the Rising Sun Troupe and was instantly killed?"
"Ah... Aren't Star Eclipses able to sense level differences between each other? Surely a mere low-level Star Eclipse wouldn't be so suicidal?"
"Who knows? In a big forest, you find all kinds of birds. This saying applies to Star Eclipses as well."
After a bit of banter, these Night Watchers began searching carefully again.
But after a long time, there was still no discovery.
