As Peter’s name was revealed to the audience, there seemed to be a strange reaction between a few people, and others started to notice this shift. The VR game that Peter played Power fighters was very popular, and the user ZombieP had become a hot topic amongst players. However, there were a few important things to note.
Not everyone who played the game visited the forums; only those that truly enjoyed the game like Nate and Sam were a part of this group. Second of all, the servers that Peter played on were the military servers, meaning the only people who knew about Peter were the military students themselves.
Still, the strange reaction caused by the students above started to spread like fire. When one or two would start to talk and murmur others beside them would ask what was so interesting.
"Is he really ZombieP?" A student asked.
"Maybe he’s just a fan?"
"Can someone explain to me who ZombieP is?"
"Ah! You don’t know; he’s quite well known in the VR game Power fighters"."
The students were busy sharing information and videos of ZombieP’s performance in the game, and soon nearly every student now knew about ZombieP. However, those who were in Del’s class were confused as the video clearly showed the person in the video had a regenerative ability, while the Peter they knew was an earth user.
Those that knew Peter couldn’t believe the connection. It just didn’t make any sense.
Although Peter’s information was being spread between the students, the same couldn’t be said for the people in the arena. They had come from outside of the military, and even though the game was popular on the outside, they didn’t have access to the military servers and knew nothing of the name.
This was the same for Jack and the others in the booth as well. While they all had their eyes spread, watching all the participants fighting, Jack was mainly focused and excited for the beatdown that Peter was about to receive.
"Wait, your friends with ZombieP?" Sam asked, shocked by what he had just found out. The others had told him, they were mainly watching the fighting tournament because of Peter but didn’t explain much else. Unknown to them that this type of reaction was going to happen. The fact that everyone was talking about Peter came as a surprise even to them.
"Wait, can somebody please explain to me, what is the big deal about Peter being called ZombieP?" Layla asked.
"I guess I should explain this one since it’s partly my fault," Logan said. "One day, when I was busy doing my usual tinkering away at my workbench, Peter had decided to play the game. unbeknownst to me, he was causing quite a stir in the online world and had become infamous because of his powerful regenerative abilities."
Logan was unable to go into further detail due to Sam being there, but there was quite a difference between Peter’s ability in the game and the one out there.
The game had managed to copy Peter’s unique body structure. Rather than ability, it determined his body was what was causing the extraordinary healing. This was why it allowed him to use his abilities in the game the same way Quinn could use his as well. But just how Quinn was able to use his blood abilities with no drawback, Peter could use his regenerative abilities as well, making him nearly invisible in the game.
In real life, this wasn’t the case. Peter did have extraordinary healing abilities, but if he was pushed to the edge, he would no longer heal until he was fed.
’Let’s just hope Truedream isn’t planning something stupid."
Nate nearly exploded into excitement after hearing the user’s name; now he thought he understood why they were heavily guarding him. Noticing his watch’s level showing a one, there must have been something different about this person.
Perhaps they didn’t want the secret to being revealed; either way, Nate was beyond excited.
He was going to watch a match between two infamous people from the game—the Blood Evolver VS ZombieP.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the match will now begin!" The buzzer had sounded, and the fight had now started on the ten platforms.
There was quite a mix to the sound of the buzzers going off. Some students charged in immediately, causing fireworks and sparks to fly as they battle. While others patiently circled the ring, waiting for the right chance to attack. Most of the attention was focused on the flashier matches and didn’t pay attention to much else.
Silver, who was one of the referees of another match, had her mind focused somewhere else.
’I need to get this match over and done with as soon as possible.’
The two students she was watching were both female, and the two of them continued to circle each other, waiting for one of them to attack.
’Come on...’ Silver thought.
