**Chapter 125: The First-Person Experience Video Causes a Frenzy**
After completing the quest, Su Yu logged off for dinner. Meanwhile, the chat channels of major guilds and the official forums were buzzing with discussions about the recent scenario battle, sparking an even more intense reaction than last time!
Previously, only 1,000 players participated in the scenario battle. This time, with 11,000 participants, the scale and impact were much greater. The reward's experience points were tripled compared to before, and every player on the Princess's side leveled up, creating a drastic shift in the rankings. One notable casualty was "Cloud Shepherd," who dropped from fourth place to completely out of the top 100—a shift that shocked both players and spectators.

The forum homepage was brimming with posts discussing the battle. A few comments stood out:
"As expected of Mr. Nemesis, stirring up the whole game with each move. This is true power!"
"Cloud Shepherd must be devastated. Going from fourth place to nowhere on the list… brutal."
"Forget Shepherd—I'm trying to sync my schedule with Mr. Nemesis's after this! No chance I'm missing his moves again!"
"As a player on the Duke's side, I got wiped out by Mr. Nemesis's AOE right at the start. It was merciless!"
"Isn't it obvious he's cheating? I watched the video, and he was flying and taking out enemies by the dozens. If that's not hacking, what is?"
"Not at all—Snow Leopard confirmed it. Mr. Nemesis used a sixth-order transformation scroll."
"Really? Not just an excuse to hide using cheats?"
"Enough guessing; Mr. Nemesis explained it himself!"
"What? Mr. Nemesis posted an explanation?!"
"I'm going to check it out!"
While waiting for his food delivery, Su Yu uploaded his first-person perspective video to the official forum, including a detailed post explaining the scroll's origin. His message ended with: "The first-person perspective video post-transformation is up. Enjoy the experience!"
The forum erupted. The idea of experiencing the power of a sixth-order powerhouse firsthand was an irresistible invitation, and players poured into the video section. Within five minutes, Su Yu's video had garnered over 3,000 views, with the counter climbing by the second.
Su Yu priced the video at 6.48 coins, a figure that amused many players due to its similarity to a popular amount used in microtransactions. But despite the price, players eagerly paid to dive in.

Once in the video, players found themselves seeing through Su Yu's eyes. Towering rivers, massive warships, sailors bustling about, billowing sails, and enemy ships fortified with vibrant magical shields all painted a cinematic landscape.
Su Yu's perspective lingered on the scroll, revealing its name and attributes, silencing skeptics who had questioned the legitimacy of his power. Then, with a single motion, he activated the scroll.
From the bow of the ship, Su Yu launched himself into the air, speeding toward the enemy fleet. Flames surged in his hand as he unleashed **[Fire Dance, Dazzling Flame Break]**. The fiery magic tore through elemental shields and reduced the once-imposing fleet to wreckage. Enemy soldiers at the front lines disintegrated in the intense heat.
Players felt their blood pump faster. The thrill of wielding the might of a sixth-order powerhouse from this view was exhilarating. The sensation of soaring over the battlefield, obliterating enemies with a single gesture, was pure adrenaline.
But the intensity didn't stop there.
Su Yu reached the main battlefield, where Duke-aligned players gathered below. Without hesitation, he became a "bomber," streaking through the sky, raining down high-level spells that exploded across the field, sending the Duke's forces into chaos. His use of **[Shadow Step]** blurred the perspective, as he shifted continuously, his swift moves and precise strikes a dizzying sight.
At one point, Su Yu engaged directly with NPC powerhouses, dodging Duke Lantilus while sweeping through enemy lines like the grim reaper himself. His intricate micro-movements and spell transitions left players glued to the experience.
As Lantilus charged toward the Princess, Su Yu quickly used **[Rising Clouds]** to soften her descent and positioned himself to catch her mid-air. The players, especially those wearing VR helmets, felt a sense of immersive touch at this point.
If not for the game's strict community guidelines, the video comments might have taken a turn. Yet, as Su Yu's dragon form reached out to catch Princess Ailijie, the video abruptly ended.
"What? That's it?" one player gasped as the experience faded.
Returning to the real world, many players wore expressions of disbelief.
"Why stop there? Couldn't you have just recorded a few more seconds?!"
From disappointment to outright frustration, players flooded back to the forums, venting their emotions over the video's cut-off. Yet the hype around Su Yu's perspective video quickly spread beyond the game's forums, reaching other social platforms where "Nemesis" once again became the talk of the town.

Opinions on Su Yu's video were mixed.
Fans raved about the battle, praising its tension, epic scope, and thrilling first-person immersion, likening it to a blockbuster action film. For some, it was worth more than any high-end 3D movie.
Critics, however, complained about Su Yu's abrupt cut-off right before catching the Princess. Many were itching to experience the dramatic rescue and found the omission frustrating.
One player even criticized the video's price: "6.48 coins? Others sell for a fraction of that!"—only to be met with hundreds of replies:
"You get what you pay for."
"Go watch it—6.48 coins is a steal! I'd pay five times that without regret."
"Is it pricey? I watched it three times in a row. Pure awesomeness!"
As word of Su Yu's video spread, discussion spilled onto broader platforms. Through clever promotion from Snow Leopard, the topic "Nemesis's First-Person Experience" began trending across social media.
Drawn in by the sixth-order powerhouse's exhilarating display, many newcomers who saw the video rushed to "Evolution's" website, excitedly hitting the "Buy Now" button.
