The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Shortly after the Double-tail Rift battle ended, a post suddenly appeared on the official forum of "Catastrophe OL", rapidly gaining tens of thousands of clicks due to its sensational title.

"Rift Battle Report Delivered! Five Gatling Guns Flame Through the Front Army of the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom, Turning Them into a Sieve On the Spot! No Exaggeration, I Alone Am Like an Entire Legion This Time!"

The poster was none other than One Mouthful of Chemical Pool.

In the post, he vividly depicted the battle situation in the Double-tail Rift, from the formidable advance of the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom's 100,000-strong army to the final reveal of my Iponder Group's basic Gatling, making the massive army concede defeat and flee, leaving the players waiting in line for beta test qualifications thrilled beyond words.

Of course, exaggeration was inevitable in this narrative.

For example, the spell-casting by Brother Yiye and Brother Hu Wan's eventual decapitation of Bakar, all were generalized as "four players lured the enemy into a trap," making it sound like 100,000 Lizardmen queued up to let him blast them away.

Typing alone wasn't enough, One Mouthful also cheekily attached a hand-drawn illustration at the bottom of the post—seen in the abstract pencil drawing was a tall and mighty Skeleton crouched behind the Gatling, shaking wildly, the gun muzzle spewing flames, with a scene of blazing fire and bodies strewn all over!

However, due to his questionable drawing skills, the illustration was so abstract that hardly anyone besides himself could see or understand it.

But does it matter?

It's a game, as long as you're happy.

The spectators were delighted, and One Mouthful was himself pleased, and that's enough!

Baldy: "6666!"

Carefree: "Awesome, One Mouthful!"

Occasionally Check My Pet Pig: "Wow, envious tears... Isn't that Experience gaining through the roof?"

Goo Goo Pigeon Spirit: "Newbie seeks guidance! Master, I don't need money, my hands are clean and I won't loot carelessly, can I just tag along for some Experience?"

One Mouthful of Chemical Pool: "Sure, sure, next time, haha!"

Legendary Salty Fish King: "Hey bro, don't we have a Recording Crystal? Why not just post a screenshot of the game footage?"

One Mouthful of Chemical Pool: "It was too exciting at the time, I forgot to turn it on, only did hand drawings, just make do with it."

The flattery from newbies and cloud players made One Mouthful a bit complacent for a while, and his mouth got looser and looser.

Eventually, an involved party couldn't stand it and jumped in to interrupt.

Yiye Zhiqu: "Ahem, I'll just say a word, the Experience for targets killed with items gets reduced, including but not limited to firearms, Magic Scrolls... So if you're looking to farm Experience, better save it."

"What?!"

Gai Shiyin Xiong: "Damn, this Chemical Pool guy is shameless!"

Pig-headed Knight: "Shouldn't be, you already know his old ID, doesn't seem like a newbie... It's not the first time he's been shameless. (Sarcastic)"

This is a rule that existed since the game launched, killing monsters using map mechanics doesn't accumulate Experience... and it's something he discovered.

According to updates in the official setting collection later, only when an attack contains intense intent can it absorb Soul Energy from the strong emotions of the opponent after a kill.

Experience gained from killing Demon Beasts with Firearms isn't as much as using Swords and Bows, and the efficiency of general attack types isn't as much as attacks infused with "Qi" or other Extraordinary Powers, and area skills are less than single-target lock-on skills.

Although Yiye Zhiqu didn't ask those newbies operating the machine guns how many levels they gained, he could easily guess with his foot that the Experience yield must not be much, otherwise those guys would have already run to the forum to brag, why wait for One Mouthful to boast himself?

Unexpectedly, Brother Yiye personally stepped in to debunk, catching One Mouthful of Chemical off guard. Seeing old players enlighten newbies on his dark history, he hastily typed to argue, trying to pull the runaway post back.

"Nonsense! There is Experience reduction, indeed... but you can still get a bit, okay! I'm doing a favor for newcomers!"

Pig-headed Knight: "Come on, if no one had spoken up, your next step would be to make newbies pay you to work. (Disdain)"

One Mouthful of Chemical Pool: "Damn, don't slander me, I've never done that?!"

He admits he isn't a good person, but speaking from his conscience, he wouldn't stoop to doing pay-for-work exploitation.

On this point, Lord Demon King can vouch for him!

The forum was filled with a lively atmosphere, with few players having participated in the Double-tail Rift battle, but with everyone adding their piece, they managed to reconstruct the battle to about seventy or eighty percent accuracy, stripping away One Mouthful's fictional parts.

According to the unanimous opinion of the participating players, Iponder Group's Gatling was indeed powerful, but the outrageous failure rate and cumbersome loading process were truly torturous.

Additionally, based on a count of the battlefield bodies, there were approximately five thousand soldiers in the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom's front army, only a bit over a thousand were actually shot to death by machine guns, most were scared off or wounded. Besides the machine gun's damage, the warriors of the Sand Ridge Clan also claimed quite a few heads while chasing the routed soldiers, and thereafter there was Yiye Zhiqu's magic.

While the Lizardmen on the Gana Continent lack Extraordinary Powers, they have decent defense, especially the Armored Dragon Clan which naturally comes with skin armor and a layer of vine armor over it.
