Bugged From the Start: I Spawned as a Parasite

Chapter 9 – Mass killing players

[Ding] "System: You have killed player 'XXXXX', gaining 10 Experience Points."

Unfortunately, it was only 10 points of experience, nothing else. Chen Yuan thought to himself, what bad luck.

In the blink of an eye, the Little Wild Rabbit's Health Points were down to 42, and more players were gathering nearby.

Chen Yuan controlled the Little Wild Rabbit to run for its life.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

He had had enough of being "airborne" and didn't want to experience it again.

In the distance, players witnessed a bizarre scene: a group of players chasing a rabbit, but unable to hit it.

Chen Yuan zigzagged and dodged, but unfortunately, he couldn't escape the players' grasp.

When the parasitism control time ended, the Little Wild Rabbit stopped.

"This damned rabbit finally stopped, get it, roar!"

The surrounding players were ecstatic. After chasing for nearly ten minutes, they finally forced it to stop.

But Chen Yuan was also excited because the cooldown time for Dragon Chant was over.

With one Dragon Chant released...

A string of numbers floated above the players' heads, and these low-level players, only level one or two, turned into white light and disappeared.

[Ding] "System: You have killed player 'XXXXX', gaining 10 Experience Points."

[Ding] "System: You have killed player 'XXXXX', gaining 10 Experience Points, 1 Evolution Point."

[Ding] "System: You have killed player 'XXXXX', gaining 10 Experience Points, 1 Talent Point."

***

Chen Yuan's one skill had unexpectedly wiped out 22 players, which was simply explosive.

In total, he gained 220 Experience Points, 3 Evolution Points, and 2 Talent Points.

This showed that Evolution Points and Talent Points were quite hard to obtain.

"Ah, here we go again."

Chen Yuan parasitized another Little Wild Rabbit, but before he could properly observe this new host, a few burly men charged at him fiercely.

Chen Yuan immediately chose to log off, deciding to wait for the parasitism cooldown to end, then control the host to go to a high-level area, away from these low-level players.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to play the game at all.

He was frustrated that he had to wait an hour to log back into the game.

The players he had killed were also frustrated, inexplicably weakened for a day.

***

Novice Village Resurrection Point.

"I was clearly killing the Little Wild Rabbit BOSS, how did I suddenly die?"

"Me too, I just died suddenly, without knowing how!"

"Damn this trash game, this is the second time I've died today, with only 20% of my attributes left, how can I play? I want to see what killed me."

The player looked at the system prompt.

[System: You have been killed by a Parasitic Dragon and will be resurrected at the nearest Novice Resurrection Point.]

"Parasitic Dragon? What the hell is that? I've never seen such a monster."

"I just checked the Little Wild Rabbit's panel, and it said it was parasitized. Could it be because of this Parasitic Dragon?"

The players who had just been wiped out joined the discussion, feeling a rare sense of camaraderie in their shared demise.

Meanwhile, on Chen Yuan's side, as soon as he logged out, a flood of notification sounds rang out.

He looked and saw 99+ forum messages.

He was puzzled, wondering why there were so many messages on the forum.

Upon checking, Chen Yuan's expression turned strange.

Under his only comment, there were now countless replies.

"Gotcha, it's this guy, pretending to be righteous."

"So sneaky, and I even liked his post."

"I liked it too. Come out, you've been exposed."

Chen Yuan was bewildered. He didn't know what he had done wrong to cause such an uproar.

Continuing to read...

"The poster's luck is amazing, their number is actually 0000000001, the first person to enter the game?"

"Poster, come out and tell us what good stuff the Wild Wolf BOSS dropped."

"People like this should be banned. They take the loot and then mock the original poster."

"Yeah, ban them, let them show off."

After browsing through a dozen more replies, Chen Yuan finally understood why these people were responding to him.

It turned out that his killing of the Wild Wolf BOSS had been exposed, though he didn't know how.

He looked at the original post, which had been edited.

The original content had been replaced with a screenshot of the original poster's bug report reply.

"Dear player, hello: This incident has been reported by multiple people. After intelligent brain detection, no bugs were found. The monster belongs to player number 0000000001, who continuously attacked the Wild Wolf Leader for over fifteen minutes. Thank you for your contribution to the game, have a pleasant game, goodbye!"

Chen Yuan looked at his forum username and finally understood the problem.

Because he hadn't renamed it, the system defaulted to using his number as the username.

Chen Yuan felt like vomiting blood. Just because there were many reports, they sold him out?

This trashy official had no integrity at all.

Chen Yuan quickly changed his name and edited his original comment.

"Don't misunderstand, everyone. I'm not the one who killed the BOSS! I just have a similar name to that person, and I've changed it back now. Please let me go. Like everyone else, I hope the real winner will come forward and say something. Please don't mistakenly harm an ally!"

Chen Yuan distanced himself from the situation entirely. As for how many believed him, he didn't care. If he could fool one, that was enough.

Not long after he edited it, more comments flooded in.

"Huh? Really, did we wrong the poster?"

"Oh, so it wasn't the poster, I was waiting for the poster to show off their loot!"

"Heh, don't tell me you guys actually believe it."

Initially, many people believed Chen Yuan wasn't number 1, but then someone came out with a bunch of chaotic explanations and evidence.

Those who believed also became skeptical.

Well, it didn't seem to have much effect, and Chen Yuan couldn't be bothered, so he started browsing the official website.

He had never paid much attention to the game Star Domain before, so he didn't understand many things in the game and was just guessing.

Now he had time to look, otherwise, he wouldn't know how to use Evolution Points and Talent Points in the game.

There were also Aptitude, Talent Rating, and what the ★ meant after the Wild Wolf Leader's name.

He had been in the game for so long and had only seen the star mark after that one Wild Wolf Leader's name.

Chen Yuan originally thought these basic pieces of information would be easy to find on the official website.

But after looking at the player character introduction, there was only information about Talent Points and Talent Rating, nothing else.

Looking at the introduction of Talent Points, they are used to upgrade the level of character talent skills.

Each character has one or several talent skills, and these skills are upgraded using Talent Points.

Killing monsters or completing tasks can earn Talent Points, with the highest chance from high-difficulty tasks and bosses.
