Yeri herself was puzzled by the sudden issue with her movements. Why were her actions malfunctioning? The person who sold her the cheating device had assured her that it was the best, guaranteeing her victory against anyone. That's why she had spent so much money on it. She never anticipated such a situation.

Despite repeatedly attempting to contact the seller through her account, all of her calls had been rejected throughout the day. She was frustrated and she threw her phone in anger. "How dare you deceive me!"

The commotion caught the attention of the household servants, and one of them knocked on her door. "Second Miss, are you alright?"

Overwhelmed with anger, Yeri didn't bother concealing her emotions. She shouted, "Get lost!"

This sudden outburst startled the servant, who had always believed that Yeri was a gentle employer. Yeri had never spoken harshly to her before, making this an unexpected change in behavior.

The servant was terrified and hurriedly retreated downstairs. Yeri attempted to restart the cheating device, but it remained ineffective. Sunflower had already whittled down her points significantly, and she was on the verge of losing the game entirely.

At this point, Yeri abandoned any pretense of hiding her cheating. Her eyes were filled with a burning desire to defeat Sunflower. She sent a message to Eric, saying, "If you want to win, send this document to your other team members."

Although Eric didn't understand the document's contents, he recalled Yeri's earlier coquettish voice so he easily agreed to her requests. Without hesitation, he promptly shared the document.

Once the team members received and opened the file sent by the boss, their computer screens abruptly went black for a couple of seconds before returning to normal.

However, they noticed that their characters were automatically attacking in the game without their control. It was evident that this was a cheating mechanism.

Furthermore, their points were rapidly diminishing, far more quickly than in regular battles. Simultaneously, Yeri's points were increasing, indicating that she was siphoning points from everyone else.

"What's happening? Are we all unintentionally helping her?" the girl responsible for long-range attacks exclaimed.

Another male player, responsible for healing, voiced his frustration, "She has no respect for this game at all."

Although the other team members remained silent, their expressions were far from pleasant. They had been enjoying the game for a long time, driven by their passion and commitment. The game had always been a test of their individual skills, and Grassi's actions were nothing short of disgraceful.

Upon observing their discontent, Eric decided to address their concerns. "Alright, alright, calm down. I'm only taking some points temporarily. It's for the sake of winning this battle. I promise you'll get more points back afterward.

It's a win-win situation for everyone."

Chun Rixue rolled his eyes and retorted, "I highly doubt that. Regardless of whether Grassi wins or loses, we've already lost our reputation. The entire gaming community knows we cheated."

His words struck the group like a sledgehammer, leaving them unable to bear looking at the chat channel on the screen any longer. The mocking comments were surely piling up.

Indeed, the World Chat was buzzing with discussions, and even international players joined in.

[Isn't this cheating way too obvious? Do they think we're blind?]

[They can actually steal points from others. That's incredibly frightening. Shouldn't the game developers provide an explanation?]

[Sunflower is still battling it out. Such incredible combat prowess.]
