Chapter 218: Chapter215-The Nether Soul Knight Commander Questions His Entire Life

“This is your so-called reverse thinking?”

“You tried to challenge His Highness Velen’s extravagance using your own logic?”

Arthur couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the Nether Soul Knight Commander’s absurd move.

If Velen was willing to pull out three hundred and fifty Soul Orbes just for a game, then there was absolutely no doubt that he had plenty more where that came from!

And that wasn’t just Arthur’s opinion—everyone else present had reached the same terrifying conclusion.

“Wait a second… why is everyone looking at me like that?”

Just as the Nether Soul Knight Commander was basking in smug satisfaction, he suddenly noticed that the others’ expressions had turned rather… odd. He couldn’t quite describe it, but something definitely felt off. A sense of foreboding crept over him.

“Nether Soul Knight Commander, I like your bold attitude!”

“But don’t worry—I’ve got ten thousand Soul Orbes in total. You’ll all have your fun!”

…What??? Ten thousand???

The moment Velen said that, the Nether Soul Knight Commander froze.

A few moments later…

“YOU BASTARDS! STOP CHASING ONLY ME!”

The Nether Soul Knight Commander, now in a full-blown panic, was wildly sprinting around while shouting curses at the others behind him.

Forget the game, forget the reward—his only goal now was to protect the fifty Soul Orbes strung behind his back!

Who would’ve thought that the others had silently agreed to gang up on him and launch an all-out pursuit?

Every time one of his Soul Orbes shattered, it was like a dagger to his heart!

Only now did he finally understand what Arthur had meant before—and he also fully grasped the depth of Velen’s madness. The concept of “squandering” had just been redefined in his mind.

No matter how fast he ran, it was useless. One by one, his Soul Orbes were destroyed until none remained.

He became the first player eliminated.

“Damn it all!”

“Can’t you people act like decent human beings?!”

But his nightmare had only just begun.

Though he was already out, the others continued their game as if guided by some unspoken agreement. They skillfully maneuvered around him, choosing to destroy each other’s Soul Orbes right in front of his eyes.

Each explosion felt like another psychological stab.

By the time the first round ended, the Nether Soul Knight Commander was on the verge of mental collapse.

Meanwhile, Velen—who had been observing from the sidelines—began preparing the next batch of Soul Orbe strings.

“Alright everyone,” he said with a serious expression, “let me be honest—you all went a bit too far just now.”

“This is supposed to be a mini-game. Even if it’s not that serious, we should still play fairly. Ganging up on one person isn’t cool.”

“For the next round, I want you all to fight individually. No more forming alliances!”

Hearing Velen’s words, the Nether Soul Knight Commander was so moved that he almost teared up.

But what happened next made Velen give up on trying to interfere ever again. He simply reinforced the remaining 9,000+ Soul Orbes with magic, stacked them neatly on the ground, and headed into Arthur’s residence to take a nap.

“WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!”

“Fine, you want to waste Soul Orbes? Go ahead. But could you at least let me participate in the game?!”

Before him, the six remaining players stood in a line, backs facing him, their fifty Soul Orbes fully exposed.

It was like they were begging him to attack… but also completely ignoring his existence.

The Nether Soul Knight Commander was ready to go insane.

Two hours later.

Ding! Congratulations, Host. You’ve completed today’s special item consumption task. Reward: 1,000 Luxury Points!

Lying in bed, Velen heard the familiar system notification echo in his mind.

However, his face showed a trace of disappointment.

“No matter how high my rank gets… the daily luxury point reward for squandering these special items always stays the same—just one thousand.”

“And this time, I didn’t even trigger a bonus reward…”

“Huh?”

When Velen stepped outside and didn’t see the Nether Soul Knight Commander anywhere, he turned to Arthur and asked, “Did he leave already?”

“There,” Arthur replied, pointing toward the roof.

Velen followed his gaze—and saw the Nether Soul Knight Commander standing alone on the rooftop, facing the sun.

His whole figure was bathed in golden light, as if part of a solemn painting.

“Arthur… what is he doing up there?” Velen asked, utterly confused.

“He’s way past sulking,” Arthur sighed. “He’s… questioning his entire existence.”

Hearing that, even Velen couldn’t hold back a bitter laugh. He had thought the Nether Soul Knight Commander was a battle-hardened champion, but apparently… he was just a glorified noob!

“Nether Soul Knight Commander!”

“Do you want a wife— I mean, do you want some Soul Orbes?!”

Velen had intended to give the man a hundred Soul Orbes as compensation. He’d been given a thousand as a system reward, and although he had already handed a hundred to Ethansenator, he still had plenty left.

But for some reason, as he shouted, his mind suddenly flashed back to a classic meme: “Old Xu, do you want a wife or not?”

So he ended up shouting the wrong line.

Soul Orbes?

Still standing on the rooftop, the Nether Soul Knight Commander jerked his head around at Velen’s words.

“Your Highness… are you saying… these Soul Orbes are for me?”

He flew down and stared at the hundred volleyball-sized Soul Orbes arranged on the ground.

He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

“Of course!” Velen said with a smile, nodding in confirmation.

Ding! Alert: Aedida has once again been taken hostage by a Rising Magi Rankings prodigy!

Ding! New quest issued: Rescue Aedida through extravagant methods. Reward for success: 10,000,000 Luxury Points + 3 Passes. No penalty for failure. This quest may be refused.

What the hell?!

That unlucky Aedida guy got kidnapped AGAIN?!

Was he some kind of reincarnated monk or something? Why did those prodigies keep capturing him?

Still, the reward this time was massive—three more Passes!

Velen currently had sixteen Passes, and with these three, he’d have nineteen in total—just enough to take the entire fortress squad to Chaos City for that one-month massage quest.

“System, I’m thinking of sending the Four Knight Commanders to rescue Aedida.”

“I’ll give each of them a million advanced mana crystals as compensation. Fair enough?”

Ding! The amount falls within acceptable squandering range.

Receiving confirmation, Velen turned to the four knight commanders with a grin.

“Gentlemen, may I trouble you to help me with a small errand? Don’t worry—I’ll make it worth your while. After it’s done, I’ll personally give each of you one million advanced mana crystals!”

“HAHAHA!”

“Your Highness, you’re far too generous. It’s our honor to help you—we couldn’t possibly accept such…”

Before the Nether Soul Knight Commander could finish, the other three knight commanders lunged at him, tackling him to the ground.

Their hands stacked on top of each other like building a hamburger, firmly covering his mouth.

“Old Soul!”

“His Highness Velen is offering a reward and you DARE to refuse?!”

“You want to die, fine—but don’t drag us down with you!”

Recalling what happened the last time someone rejected Velen’s “kindness,” Arthur looked visibly shaken, muttering under his breath with a pale face.
