Battle Online: My Luck Is So High It's Basically Cheating

In Fate, the leaders of the Nine Great Guilds were currently gathered together...

"Sigh, we lost so many people this time, yet we still didn’t manage to lure the Thunder-Winged Wind Tiger into Gu Du City. If it comes out, I’m afraid we’ll have to run immediately."

"There was nothing we could do. We ran out of monster-luring incense. Who knew that an Immortal Rank BOSS would have such high resistance?"

"This effort was almost entirely in vain. If this continues and the opponent fully matures, we probably won’t have any room to survive."

Inside the office, everyone wore expressions of worry...

Because of Falling into the Human World, more and more people were leaving the guilds... 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

They had never imagined that a single person could push them into such a state...

Now they felt some regret—regret that they hadn’t kept a few SSS-rank Talent players under their control back then...

If they had a few SSS-rank Talents working for them, they wouldn’t be so passive...

At the very least, there would be someone capable of posing a threat to him...

It wouldn’t have come to this, where he could act so unscrupulously...

"If this doesn’t work, there’s only one last option left," Caleb said.

The others immediately turned to look at him.

"What option? He’s already become a power unto himself. If it weren’t for the fact that he’s alone, he probably could have forced us to disband."

"Yeah, we’ve tried every method we could think of."

"The gap in combat power is just too large; even we probably wouldn’t last a single exchange."

"It’s already a blessing just to escape from him."

"If I’d known, we should have wiped out all the orphans back then. Then we wouldn’t have ended up with someone like this who has no weaknesses."

Seeing the heated discussion, Caleb spoke calmly, "The last option is to increase our combat power."

The room went silent for a moment.

Then several people looked at him as if he were stating the obvious.

Wasn’t that common sense?

Who didn’t know they needed to increase their combat power?

If they had the strength of Falling into the Human World, would they have been pushed this far?

But the problem was—they didn’t.

And the gap in combat power was simply too massive...

So massive that it made them feel despair.

Falling into the Human World was only in his twenties level-wise, yet they, at level forty, weren’t even close to matching him...

They didn’t even dare imagine what would happen once he reached level forty.

Just how terrifying would he become then?

Caleb took out a cigarette and took a long drag...

Only then did he slowly say, "The last option is to enhance our equipment."

"Only by doing this can we narrow the gap between us and him."

Several people frowned.

"Enhance equipment? That’s not a very good idea."

"You’re all already wearing full sets of +10 enhanced equipment. You should know how difficult that is—and how much gold it costs."

"And yet? It’s still useless. We can’t even last a single exchange against him."

Caleb smiled faintly.

"I know. The few of us already have the best equipment in Kyushu."

"But do you know that enhancing a piece of equipment to +11 doubles its attributes?"

"For him to be so strong, aside from his talent, his base attributes must be extremely high."

"When we saw him last time, aside from a ghost artifact, the rest of his equipment was only silver-grade."

(They were unaware that his gear had already been upgraded.)

"Then why was he still so strong?"

"It must be because his base attributes are ridiculously high. I even suspect one of them has reached the maximum limit."

"The gap between us and him is just that small difference."

"As long as we can catch up to his attributes, why would we need to fear him?"

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up—only to dim again moments later...

Although they had plenty of gold, upgrading a full set of equipment to +12 was extremely difficult...

Even reaching +11 was a challenge.

The success rate was abysmally low, and after +10, there was a risk of the equipment shattering...

Equipment suitable for their level was already scarce.

If they truly wanted to surpass him, they would need at least a full set of silver equipment enhanced to +12...

The risk was simply too great—even for them.

"So, we need to find ways to make money," Caleb concluded.

"Only with enough gold will we have a chance to surpass him."

Although his plan sounded somewhat unreliable...

It was the only viable path they had left.

Just as they were discussing how to squeeze more gold out of ordinary players without sparking backlash, there was a knock on the door...

A man in his forties, wearing a full set of silver equipment, walked in.

"Why are you here? Didn’t I say not to disturb us unless it’s something extremely important?" Caleb snapped, clearly displeased.

The man quickly said, excitement written all over his face, "Guild Leader, great news! According to our Intelligence Department, Falling into the Human World has already engaged that Immortal Rank BOSS!"

The room froze.

"What? He actually fought it?" someone exclaimed.

"What happened? Given his personality, shouldn’t he have run?" Caleb eyes lit up.

"The details aren’t clear yet, but he is definitely fighting the BOSS—and he’s alone!"

Hearing this, Caleb burst into laughter.

"Haha, good! Very good! Send people to monitor the situation closely. I want constant updates!"

"Yes, Guild Leader!"

After the subordinate left, the atmosphere in the room completely changed.

"Perfect. He’s actually fighting an Immortal Rank BOSS. We couldn’t even break its defense. Even if his attack is high, how much stronger could he be?" Years - Peaceful sneered.

"Exactly. Who would’ve thought he’d be so reckless? Fighting an Immortal Rank BOSS alone—this is suicide."

"He’s still young. He doesn’t understand the law of the jungle."

"If he dies this time, all our problems will be solved."

But at that moment, Dragon God - Old Eight frowned deeply.

"Do you think it’s possible... that he might actually win?"

The room fell silent for a second—

Then erupted into laughter.

Caleb even patted his shoulder.

"What nonsense are you talking about? That’s an Immortal Rank BOSS. No one right now can defeat something like that."

"Two months ago, in the Lighthouse Country, they gathered three SSS-rank players and tens of thousands of people to fight one."

"And what happened? Every single one of them died—and they still failed."

"Do you really think one person can do better than that?"

But Dragon God - Old Eight didn’t laugh.

He only frowned more deeply.

From what he knew about Falling into the Human World...

That guy wasn’t someone who would risk his life for others.

If there was danger, he would run faster than anyone.

Like during the Population Census—he had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

And yet now...

He was standing his ground, fighting an Immortal Rank BOSS for the sake of Gu Du City?

No matter how he thought about it, something didn’t add up.

Unless...

He was confident.

Confident enough to win.

If that were true...

Then this time, they wouldn’t just fail.

They would suffer a complete and utter double loss.

Not only would they fail to eliminate him—

But the rewards from the Immortal Rank BOSS would push his strength even higher.

At that point...

They wouldn’t just be losing.

They would be digging their own graves.
