Waking up in the morning, the sun was shining brightly. Looking out the window, a thick layer of ice flowers had already formed, and commuters were crowded on the roads in this modern city.
I picked up my phone and saw that it was already 7:30 AM. In half an hour, the individual competition would begin. The 500,000 RMB champion prize, that's my goal! To avoid being dependent on others in the future, to buy a house and marry a wife, I must get this 500,000!
As soon as I stepped out of my room, I ran into Lu Xuehan. She was about to call me for breakfast, and seeing that I was awake, she smiled and said, "The competition is about to start, hurry up and wash up and eat!"
Xu Lin and Xin Yu were already in the game. I quickly finished eating and entered the game at 7:50, just in time for the competition.
Within a few minutes, the system prompted: Champion Challenge begins, players prepare to enter the arena!
"Swish~!"
I was teleported into arena number 7203654. Across from me was a delicate female mage, blinking her big eyes at me. A few seconds later, she said something that almost made me faint: "Huh? Brother, why is your equipment red? Is there a place in the city to dye clothes? Where did you dye it, and how much does it cost?"
At this moment, I suddenly remembered a game. Those boring games like XX Group really harmed people deeply. The game claimed to be free, but unfortunately, it made money by selling virtual clothes. According to my preliminary statistics and speculation, XX Group is very likely the only game where virtual bras sell for more than real bras, especially for those vain and ignorant young girls who would rather not wear a bra in real life to save money to buy a virtual bra. Speaking of which, the younger generation of girls nowadays has become so * * that most don't wear bras.
"Brother, you're so handsome, and your equipment is great too. Do you need me to be your wife? We can video chat..."
Before the female mage could finish speaking, she turned into a white light and left. I muttered to myself, "Sorry, I'm not interested in women who haven't fully developed and are both infatuated and idiotic..."
The first match ended in three seconds, and I was subsequently teleported out of the arena, luckily right next to the Exchange!
I consigned the dozen or so pieces of equipment that I had looted from Kuang Zhan and others yesterday at a decent price. This money could be considered ill-gotten gains. I wonder what kind of expression Murong Shanshan would have if she knew about this.
As I was thinking, I suddenly noticed that a large crowd had gathered around me, and many had already drawn their swords. It was then that I remembered I was a red-named player, redder than red.
As the saying goes, 'people die for wealth, birds die for food.' I don't know how many people are envious of my top-tier equipment, and the danger of walking around the city like this is even greater.
I * * * my sword, and with a swing, pointed it and said, "What are you all looking at? Do you want to loot my equipment?"
Two mages had already begun to gather mana for their Blazing Explosion spell, and several other knights were preparing their Charge starting moves. A battle to kill red-named players and snatch equipment was on the verge of breaking out!
"Whoosh~!"
A fiery red figure stood in front of me. It was none other than Murong Shanshan, whom I hadn't seen in a day!
"What do you want? Are you trying to take advantage of the situation?" Murong Shanshan glanced at the crowd, and her night elf sword drew a beautiful arc in the air: "You can try to rob me, but first, consider if you can afford to provoke the Qing Cai Family and the guild I, Murong Shanshan, will establish in the future? If anyone makes a move today, I, Murong Shanshan, swear to kill them until they reach level zero, and I will not stop!"
I was a little touched. Although I wasn't afraid to be an enemy of these people, at such a crucial point in the competition, losing equipment or levels was not allowed.
The little * *'s appearance as she gritted her teeth and spoke harshly was also particularly cute. The several eager guys around immediately quieted down, and some even started drooling as they looked at Murong Shanshan.
Indeed, although they could certainly gang up and beat Murong Shanshan and me to death, the people at the very front would definitely not survive. Especially after witnessing Murong Shanshan's and my attack power, that video had the strongest deterrent effect on everyone. Even if I, a red-named player, stood in the center of the city, it was unlikely anyone would dare to make a move.
The crowd immediately dispersed. I quickly pulled Murong Shanshan into the Cathedral. There were fewer people inside, so even if someone wanted to kill me, with Murong Shanshan's and my strength, we could easily deal with him.
Murong Shanshan looked at me in surprise: "Lin Fan, why are you so severely red-named? Who did you PK with in the wild again? You must have killed a lot of people, right?"
"Don't even mention it. It's all because of that idiot Kuang Zhan. Last night, he brought people to ambush my boss and two colleagues. I went to save them and killed a few more people, so I turned red."
Murong Shanshan smiled sweetly: "That hottest post on the forum this morning, called 'Don't Challenge My Personality with Your Temper – A Story About Me and a Triad Boss That Had to Be Told,' was that written by you? I didn't read it carefully, but it seemed to be a wild PK video. It should be you, right?"
"Yes, so you knew about it too. By the way, what happened when you went home yesterday?"
Murong Shanshan paused, then bit her lip and said, "Let's not talk about that. By the way, I heard that this time, in addition to the original rewards for the individual competition, there's also a cash prize in RMB. The champion gets a grand prize of 500,000. Do you have any thoughts on that?"
Seeing that Murong Shanshan also seemed unhappy about something that happened when she went back last night, I didn't bring it up again and replied to her, "With that much money, if I could get it, I could buy a house and marry a wife. Of course I want it..."
Murong Shanshan pursed her lips and smiled, mischievously saying, "You're already thinking about marrying a wife so soon? Do you already have someone in mind?"
"Yes, what do you think of the female priest in my studio?"
"Do you want me to tell the truth or a lie?"
"Nonsense, of course I want the truth!"
"Oh, like that, well... I think if she were to marry you, it would simply be like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung..."
After Murong Shanshan finished speaking, she put on an innocent look, her pair of bright, sparkling eyes blinking at me.
NND, I really can't do anything with this girl... Time passed quickly, and the next match was about to begin. Murong Shanshan and I disappeared from the Cathedral simultaneously.
This time, my opponent was a level 25 mage. At this stage, he should be considered very strong, as most players hadn't leveled up because of the competition. Level 25 would definitely rank him in the top 100 in the town. Unfortunately, he met me in the second preliminary match, so I can only say his luck was too bad.
The mage smiled lewdly: "Brother, can I ask, what's the phone number of that Vegetable Temptation who was with you? A QQ number would also work, can you reveal it?"
I was stunned and said in surprise, "You want to pursue her? I'm really afraid you can't handle it. Do you know, she sleeps with her legs spread..."
The mage was drenched in cold sweat: "Uh... no, I just admire her, I'm leaving first..."
"Hey, aren't you going to compete?"
"I forfeit, goodbye~!"
A shadow flew out of the arena. This guy actually went straight back to the city...
