Chapter 199 Reputation in Ruins

The two attacked the King-level demon slave, but the outcome was as expected.

The players watching the live broadcast were all moved by their spirit.

"Those so-called big families are nothing. Compared to them, these players are the pillars of this online game world."

"They are truly the parasites of the divine world. Let's boycott them together!"

Initially, the members of the big families had good intentions. If Tianji Huang Deng cooperated, there would be no problem. Even if they lost, everyone would praise them. However, they made the grave mistake of trying to seize command from Tianqi Huang and others at this critical juncture.

After all, for a rich second-generation to challenge a professional commander, it was truly a death wish.

Ultimately, Dou Youyou's first death was recorded.

Even though he held on until the last moment, it couldn't change the outcome.

When Zhou Yang Tiantian and the others saw Dou Youyou die, their expressions were grim. They never expected Dou Youyou to have no backup and to die just like that. Was he trying to set them up?

"What's going on? Where's Dou Youyou's trump card? He died without a trump card, isn't he just screwing us over?"

"Damn it, this public opinion will be very unfavorable to us. We can't drag this out any longer. Let's go!"

They opened the livestream and charged forward, determined to fight the King-level demon slave to the death. Their timely appearance drew scorn from the players watching the broadcast.

"They didn't come early or late, but they only showed up when everyone else was dead to pick up the scraps? Too bad this big prize isn't something anyone can pick up!"

"Why don't you just hide until the mission time is over? Are you looking for trouble by showing up now?"

Without Dou Youyou and Tianqi Huang, the hidden professions tanking damage, Ouyang Tiantian and the others couldn't even withstand a single round. The King-level demon slave killed several of them with one move.

Dou Youyou and his group managed to hold on for over ten minutes, while Ouyang Tiantian and his group didn't even last five minutes before everyone was wiped out.

[Ding! System Prompt: All players have died, the mission has failed, and you will be teleported out!]

[Ding! System Prompt: Teleportation successful, all players have returned to Pingfan City!]

When they reappeared, they were still in the same state as when they entered, all lined up. However, Zhang Pingfan's expression was very grim.

Zhang Pingfan walked towards Ouyang Tiantian with a darkened face.

"Slap!"

A slap sent Ouyang Tiantian flying.

If Zhang Pingfan hadn't controlled his strength, that slap would have likely sent him to his demise.

"What kind of person are you? At a moment of life and death, you pull a stunt like this. If you weren't in a special space, I would have killed you on the spot!"

Ouyang Tiantian, who had been slapped away by the village chief, quickly got up. Being hit by the village chief in front of so many people was the height of humiliation.

"Village Chief, are you out of your mind? What I do is my business, what does it have to do with you? Failing the mission was inevitable. Who can defeat the final boss? If I had known the final boss was unbeatable, I wouldn't have wasted these four hours!"

Zhang Pingfan sneered, surprised that the other party was still complaining.

"Fine, very good!"

"I announce that except for the final fifteen people who will receive no rewards, everyone else will receive the rewards for this mission! The livestream rewards are directly canceled!"

[Ding! System Prompt: Due to your outstanding performance in this secret realm mission, you have conquered the Village Chief. The Village Chief specially bestows upon you the title of Doomsday Guardian and grants you all the rewards for this mission!]

Those who were initially dejected became overjoyed upon hearing about the rewards.

"Haha, the rewards are here, do you see them?"

"We see them! Ten free attribute points for each person, and everyone has leveled up and received a rare title!"

"This title is so awesome, we're really rich now."

"It's the first time I've received rewards from the Village Chief, I was happy. I thought there was no chance this time. The Village Chief is mighty!"

"Some people are probably crying themselves to death!"

At this moment, Ouyang Tiantian and the others had terrible expressions, as if they had eaten dirt, their faces green with envy.

"Village Chief, you're playing favorites again. We also made positive contributions to this mission. Even though we had some problems in the end, it's not like we deserve no rewards at all!"

Seeing that everyone else had received rewards, Ouyang Tiantian and his group were clearly unbalanced.

They had also failed the mission, so why could others get rewards while they couldn't?

"Are you unconvinced? I posted the mission, and I can give rewards to whomever I please. If you're not convinced, come and kill me!"

Instantly, the people present drew their weapons and pointed them at Ouyang Tiantian and his group.

How dare they try to attack the Village Chief? They must be tired of living.

Looking at the situation, Ouyang Tiantian and his group would likely be drowned by the crowd before they could even make a move.

Ouyang Tiantian and his group could only leave dejectedly, while the others erupted in celebration.

In reality, Ouyang Tiantian was severely reprimanded by his father.

"Dad, why are you scolding me? This was your idea too! The final outcome is not my fault, blame the Village Chief and them!"

"You still have the nerve to talk back? I did mean for that, but couldn't you have been more tactful? Now that things have turned out this way, how can our Ouyang Guild develop in the future? Our guild's reputation was already damaged in the last guild war with the Eternal Myth Guild, and now it's even worse. I wanted to salvage some of it, but you, a blockhead, couldn't speak properly, leading to this situation. And you still say you're not at fault!"

Ouyang Tiantian insisted he was not wrong.

He had clearly said what his father intended, but in the end, it was his fault.

"You idiot, you won't get your allowance this month. Get out!"

Last time he went to see the Village Chief and was turned away. This time, he had probably offended him completely.

"This good-for-nothing only knows how to eat, drink, and play. He can't even handle such a small matter!"

"Sigh, you shouldn't blame Tiantian. This child was never suited for dealing with people. Back then, I told you to have more children, but you refused. Now you finally understand the benefits?"

"Dad, it's my fault for not educating him well, causing our Ouyang family's reputation to be ruined!"

"It's alright, I still have a pretty good relationship with the elder of the Nangong family. I'll go discuss it with their elder. We can still salvage our reputation, after all, your Ouyang family didn't seem to participate this time."

"We did participate, but we only sent a minor figure to lead the team. Nangong Zhenxing didn't go."

"Hmm, the old man Nangong knows how to discipline his descendants. Since the Village Chief didn't see you last time, I, this old man, will step forward this time!"

"Dad, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Inappropriate? Then what solution do you have? Or can you convince the Village Chief? No, do you have any objections?"

"This... he doesn't even want to see me, so how can I speak?"

"Then you are even more useless than your son. It's settled, I'll go see the Village Chief myself!"
