"Come on, don't pretend, who can fight like me in a duel?" Arthur said weakly.
Most people would definitely not fight like this in a duel.
Although the character movements in Realm of Liberty need to be completed by the player himself, it is impossible to require the player to fly over the walls and into the sky in reality. Most of the time, they just perform simple body movements, and then use the handle shortcut keys to assist in the operation. The biggest difficulty is still It's about tactics and awareness. Otherwise, the RM counterfeiting match will be exposed immediately.
But what level of micromanagement and duel intensity did Arthur have?
A thousand consecutive victories, how can it be an ordinary person?
The duel field matched opponents according to rank and winning percentage. He hadn't lost for an unknown amount of time, and the opponents he was matched with were naturally strong players on the national rankings.
Being undefeated doesn't mean he can be crushed easily. To keep the winning streak going, every duel has to be tense.
At the beginning, he was able to survive with his excellent quality, but recently he felt more and more powerless, and today he almost lost.
"It's outrageous!" RM leaned back on the chair and lit a cigarette. At this time, he had put away the smiling face during the live broadcast, as if he was a boss.
"Do you know how much I will lose if you beat me like this?"
To be fair and just, although Arthur's state has declined recently, he still won. As with any competitive game, as long as the final victory is achieved, the process is of little importance.
But RM is the streamer, this is not so much a competition, it is closer to a performance.
Victory is certainly important, but the audience cares more about the process, especially since he has "won" 2 years in a row, which is already a nuisance to the audience. Compared with the unsuspecting result, everyone wants to see how he wins.
If the process is not exciting enough, not refreshing enough, it will be ugly, and the audience will not pay for it.
"..."
Arthur didn't make any explanation, just stood there silently as if waiting for a punishment. He didn't have any thoughts, he just felt tired, and he didn't even bother to talk.
There are high-intensity duels throughout the year, the state is sluggish, the operation is deformed, and it is not easy to maintain an undefeated record. No matter how good it is to win.
RM took a deep drag on his cigarette, then stifled the cigarette in the ashtray.
"I will lend you money when you need money, and you work when you need to work. You don't have to worry about the messy things like live streaming and operation. You just need to concentrate on playing games and you can get money. You said it yourself. I have treated you well in the past years, right?"
"Yeah." Arthur just nodded when he heard the words, neither refuted anything nor thanked RM.
He has heard these words countless times in the past years.
Whenever the live stream viewer drops, even if it is only a little bit, RM will lose his temper after the stream, and then count all the kindness to him in the past, and let him remember that he should work hard for him.
"What else do you want?"
"I don't want to do it anymore." Arthur said calmly.
RM's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he stood up from his chair abruptly.
"What did you say?!"
This is the second time Arthur has mentioned that he doesn't want to work anymore. The last time was a year ago, he finally saved enough money to pay off the foreign debts owed by his parents.
He said that he wanted to go back to his hometown. Since he came to Haishi from his hometown Beishi a few years ago and became RM's substitute, he never went back.
Even the uncles and aunts who took care of him since he was a child have no time to contact.
It made him feel very owed.
RM knew about his situation. He was the one who invited Arthur when he came to Haishi for the live stream.
Although Arthur hadn't come into contact with Liberty Realm at that time, he saw that Arthur was a genius who was willing to endure hardships, and he would definitely achieve something in the future.
So he guided Arthur step by step and trained him to be a thug that fit his ideal.
To be honest, he is not surprised to be able to achieve today's achievements.
..
"If it wasn't for me, you would still have to distribute leaflets in the mall now, and you won't be able to repay your debts in your next life!"
RM took out another cigarette and lit it, recalling the past.
A high school student whose parents are in debt and missing, has no money and no power, wants to work in society, what can he do?
It was him who gave Arthur a way out, and gave him a job when he had nothing to do, so that he could have a stable salary every month. He is kind to Arthur.
Arthur couldn't deny this, so even if he paid off the money his parents owed, he continued to stay and fight for another year.
Helping RM achieve the [Invincible] achievement and becoming the veritable No. 1 in the country, this is his gratitude.
It's not that he doesn't know that RM earns a lot of money, and it's not that he doesn't know that RM pays him a pitiful salary. But he is still grateful.
"I can wait for you to find a newcomer before leaving, or I can help you train the newcomer to a state that satisfies you."
RM sneered, "Hehe, after you decided to leave and worried about me, should I say thank you to you?"
"You're welcome." Arthur said seriously.
Now they all got what they wanted, and they owed nothing to each other.
RM was slightly taken aback, but Arthur didn't realize that he was being sarcastic. Maybe he heard it and was just playing dumb on purpose.
"Okay, okay, let's not go around in this relationship, I know you want to raise your salary, I will give you a thousand!"
RM found that the moral kidnapping method was useless, and his attitude changed instantly, trying to keep him with money.
Before, he was afraid that Arthur would leave after paying off his debts, so he never dared to raise his salary. For several years, it was the price that was initially set. With the price in Haishi, it was equivalent to the living expenses of an ordinary college student.
But I didn't expect Arthur to be really able to save, he just let him save enough in three years.
"It's not about money, RM, I'm just really tired." Arthur sighed, and moved a chair to sit down. Every time after a day's duel, there would be pain in his body. He didn't seem to be playing games, but boxing.
"Forget it, you have seen my current state, even if I continue to fight, it will only go downhill."
After RM heard this, he took a closer look at Arthur. The duel had been over for almost ten minutes. Arthur's right hand was still trembling, and his mental state was a little sluggish. It didn't look like he was acting.
Originally, he wanted to add one thousand, but if he couldn't, he would give him two thousand, but seeing this, he immediately swallowed his words back.
What's the use of a Arthur who can't win the game? Not a dime.
"Since you have made up your mind to go, so be it."
A bit of a pity for a cheap labor.
But he is not short of money, why worry about not finding a new thug in the future?
Although in the eyes of others, Arthur's skills are unmatched. But RM has cooperated with Arthur for four years. He not only watched every duel of Arthur, but also speculated and explained Arthur's intentions at the same time.
He has never been doubted by the audience in the past four years. Doesn't this mean that he and Arthur are actually evenly matched in strength?
Asking Arthur to fight on his behalf is just to help him share the physical labor.
Even if there is no substitute, he can do it by himself. Thinking of this, RM no longer has any worries.
·
"Okay, let's go."
Arthur walked quickly.
RM lit another cigarette, took a deep breath, and calmed down.
Seeing his back without a trace of nostalgia, RM suddenly felt a little scared again.
After all, he was a top streamer, and he was worried that the exposure of Arthur acting on behalf of him would become a stain on his career.
"By the way, I advise you not to mention the agent fight to others in the future. In the past four years, no one knows your existence, and no one will believe that RM has always been a substitute agent. Even if you want to call the world, others will only treat you as a joke."
Hearing the "advice" from behind, Arthur withdrew her hand that was about to push the door.
He took off the tactical gloves in his hands, turned around and threw them to RM.
This was originally something in the RM studio. After wearing it for four years, Hr almost forgot.
RM subconsciously reached out to catch it, and saw that it was a pair of tattered gloves that had been severely worn out, feeling a little baffled.
"Let's smoke less in the future, you won't be young anymore."
