Chapter 182 New Idea

Smack, smack—Ambrose hacked down his training sword at the wooden pole.

The wooden pole was filled with scratches, a result of his relentless training.

The Wisdom King watched silently, but after not liking something he saw, he raised his arm and said,

"Stop."

Ambrose had already raised his sword-wielding arm, but after hearing the grandmaster's words, he stopped his attack.

"Youngling, your mind is elsewhere." The Wisdom King said with a wise-sounding tone. "Focus on the present moment and clear your thoughts."

"Yes, I am sorry." Ambrose turned back to the wooden pole and sighed.

'I can't stop thinking about ForeverTube.

'How many viewers do I have currently?

'Has my like ratio increased?

'How many subscribers do I have now?

'What will be my new video?'

Ambrose sighed with frustration and then began smashing his training sword at the wooden pole.

Smack, smack.

The Wisdom King narrowed his eyes and watched Ambrose's every move, evaluating his technique and form.

'His focus is not on the training.' He concluded and raised his arm again. "Stop."

Ambrose stopped his attack just before it landed on the wooden pole and turned back to the Wisdom King.

"Follow me." The Wisdom King said and walked inside the temple.

Ambrose looked surprised, but followed right behind him.

After entering the temple, they saw many praying Honorables kneeling before the altar.

Their chants echoed with a sense of solemnity and devotion.

The Wisdom King then led him to a hidden chamber deep within the temple.

It was very hidden, as they had to take one secret passage, which Ambrose didn't even know existed.

After reaching the hidden chamber, which was deep in the underground, the Wisdom King activated something by pressing three different tiles on the wall.

"Grandmaster, what is this place?" Ambrose questioned, bewildered by the strange room.

"This is a chamber where honorables come to hone their skills." The Wisdom King said and pointed at the end of the chamber. "If you reach the end, your training is complete."

"Eh?" Ambrose looked stunned. "What do you mean by that?"

"If you reach the end of the chamber, there is nothing left I can teach you." The Wisdom King said.

Ambrose looked towards the end of the chamber, wondering what awaited him there.

He only had to walk thirty meters to reach the end, which seemed very easy.

'There must be traps or something.' Ambrose thought.

"Go on." The Wisdom King walked to the corner and pulled out a dusty chair before sitting down.

"Uh, alright." Ambrose looked at his training sword in hand and clenched it powerfully.

He then stepped forward and started walking down the tiled floor.

After reaching the two-meter mark, a small gap appeared in the wall, and a hidden dart flew out towards him.

Ambrose quickly snapped his head towards the dart and moved his wooden training sword, then deflected the dart.

The dart ricocheted off the sword and clattered against the rock floor.

Ambrose breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the grandmaster, who looked calm and relaxed.

'Well, that wasn't that bad.' He thought and then took a long stride to reach the three-meter mark.

At that moment, hundreds of small gaps appeared in the walls, and thousands of darts shot out.

"Oh, sh—"

The blood spewed as thousands of darts impaled him from every possible angle.

His vision slowly faded as his body crashed into the ground.

"Let's continue tomorrow." The Wisdom King's fading voice echoed in the air. "You better be fully concentrated on training by then..."

...

After opening his eyes, Jesse groaned and removed the headset.

The phantom feeling of having thousands of darts stuck in his flesh was still vivid in his mind.

'How is it even possible to dodge all those darts? That was also at the three-meter mark. I have twenty-seven additional meters left!'

He sat up on the edge of the bed and pinched his nose bridge.

There was a reason why he didn't log back in but instead logged off.

He wanted to quench his curiosity and check his current video stats.

It kept him distracted the whole day, as he simply wanted to know.

After visiting the bathroom, he sat down on the gaming chair and opened the PC.

Without further ado, he entered ForeverTube and went straight to his analytics tab.

[Views: 15,032,945]

[Comments: 13,001]

[Like Ratio: 55,67%]

[Subscribers: 299,934]

'Huh?' Jesse looked shocked and confused by his decrease in subscribers and like ratio.

'Why did I lose subscribers? I thought it would increase, and why the hell is my like ratio so much worse?'

Confused about it, he went back to his comments section, wanting answers.

As he skimmed past the comments that questioned him about Zahhak, he soon found a reason, and it wasn't a pretty sight.

Over a hundred messages, one after another, were filled with the same garbage.

[User345: Stole a video idea from Olympos!]

[User092: Stole a video idea from Olympos!]

[User121: Stole a video idea from Olympos!]

'What the fuck is that?' Jesse frowned, but then saw that one of the comments even included a link to another video.

He curiously clicked it, and it took him to a video made by Olympos.

'What the fuck...' Jesse looked at the title and coldly read it. 'Easiest method to acquire an Upgrade Class Token...'

The views of this particular video had reached five million, which wasn't as many as his, but the views were increasing faster than his own.

Also, this video doesn't have a front page feature yet.

However, the like ratio was astonishingly high at 95%.

The video was published five hours ago, which was around ten hours later than Jesse.

'Why the hell are they saying I stole his idea?' Jesse frowned and curiously went to the comments section.

The top comment was by Olympos.

[Olympos: Thank you all for watching my video, which I have planned to create for many weeks now, but it took time to plan it, etc. However, because of a certain video, I had to speed up the process]

'The hidden words are that because I stole his idea, he had to upload a rushed video...'

Jesse coldly chuckled. 'What a piece of shit liar. He never planned to make this video; who is he kidding?'

To prove his point, he clicked on the video and began watching it.

The first two minutes only had Olympos talk about something random, hyping up the Upgrade Class token without telling what it was.

At the three-minute mark, he placed an advertisement that lasted thirty seconds, and finally, after that, he began slowly talking about the Upgrade Class token.

Once the video had reached the ten-minute mark, it ended.

'This video was twice as long as mine and didn't talk about anything different.' Jesse thought with a scoff. 'Everything I said, he replicated. So, who actually stole an idea, huh?'

Jesse then scrolled further down the comments and saw some messages aimed at him, all negative.

Olympos, after all, was a thousand times more popular than him, and his fans were very passionate.

Jesse saw them accusing him of stealing Olympos' idea; some even suggested sending messages to Forever Company to get his feature removed and give it to Olympos instead.

Slowly, Jesse's hands clenched into a fist.

He returned to look at the video and intensely looked at the yellow-haired man in the video.

He engraved the face into his mind so he wouldn't forget it.

As a sharp pain appeared in his hand, Jesse loosened his clenched fist and cracked a smile.

"A new video idea appeared in my mind."
