On the morning of the first of May, Passing Rain and Laughing Soul did not come online because they did not sign up for the competition and were not in a hurry to level up, so they did not join in the fun. That way, Brother Jue and Xiao Tan could focus on the preliminaries.
However, when the clock struck midnight, only Xiao Tan managed to get into the channel for the preliminaries, and Feng Bujue … received an email from the system.
The title of the email was, "Congratulations, you have been selected as a VIP player by the system."
The content was simple and clear. "Dear Mr. Feng Bujue, you have been selected by the system as a seeded player for this year's Tournament for the Best. You will directly enter the Battle of the Butterfly and participate in the battle to advance from one hundred to fifty. Good luck! "
The mail was sent at 12: 01 in the morning. At the same time, the names of the ten VIP players were published on the official website.
They were Phantom Dawn, Lying Drunk, Shiva, Yama, Bladeless Swordsman, Uncle Worthless, Xu Huai Shang, Zombie Blade King, Matcha Cookie, and Feng Bujue.
After the announcement, about three minutes later, Feng Bujue was swamped by emails, friend requests, and solo requests from strangers.
It was as if his mailbox had been infected with a virus. The number of emails didn't increase one by one, nor did it increase by piles. It was page by page …
Before this, Feng Bujue really had no idea how many messages a page in his mailbox could display because he always deleted them after reading them, and he had never received too many messages at once. Now, he finally understood … A page in the inbox could display a total of 30 email titles, as well as the first line of the content of each email.
That night, between midnight and 1 am, Feng Bujue had received more than one thousand pages of emails. The page number at the bottom of the page was 1.2.3.4 … 999.999 + … the last page. If he left it alone, it probably wouldn't take long before 1999 + would appear after the ellipsis in the second paragraph.
"The system of this game sure is powerful …" Feng Bujue stood before the touch screen and said, "An email account that is registered online usually has a capacity of two to three gigabytes. The virtual mailbox in an online game is usually smaller, and there is even a limit to the number of emails. But this one before me … it has already received more than one thousand emails, and it is still receiving them normally … "
Actually, this kind of thing happening was within reason. In fact, Feng Bujue was probably the one who received the most harassment among the ten VIP players.
The reason was simple … before the name list was announced, he was a complete unknown.
Taking a look at the current combat ranking, first place was Phantom Dawn (Regulation), second place was Anonymous (After the name list was announced, most players started to suspect that this mysterious newcomer was Brother Jue), third place was Shiva (Brahman), fourth place was Sleeping Drunk (Regulation), fifth place was Uncle Worthless (this was a freelancer without a gaming studio), sixth place was Jianghu (Jiang Hu), seventh place was Vishnu (Brahman), eighth place was Brahma (Brahman), ninth place was Understanding Death (Regulation), tenth place was Bladeless Swordsman (Jiang Hu), eleventh place was Yama (Brahman), thirteenth place was Meng Jingchan (Regulation), fourteenth place was Anonymous (this anonymous player was one of the VIP players, Xu Huai Shang), fifteenth place was Blade Runner (Jiang Hu), sixteenth place was Seven Kills (Blade Edge), seventeenth place was Matcha Cookie (Mountain River), eighteenth place was Zombie Blade King (Zombie Blade), nineteenth place was Not a Scaredy Cat (Jiang Hu), and twentieth place was Flying Pegasus (Xing Chen).
After the Battle for the Cape, Brother Jue had used the buff from the Soul's Eye to push Shiva, Understanding Death, and Seven Kills down one rank. Not a Scaredy Cat, who was originally ranked 20th, was now ranked 19th. This meant that her ability had improved during this period of time. Shadow King, who was originally ranked 19th, had now fallen out of the top 20.
Of course, the ranking on the ranking did not represent the victory or defeat of these players.
For example, if there were two players, one ranked 50th and the other ranked 80th, and the 80th ranked player's mastery or combat style just so happened to counter the 50th ranked player's mastery or combat style. If the two of them were to fight, the 80th ranked player would have a very high chance of winning.
However, this would not change the ranking because the system's point of view was, "Even if you can win countless times against someone, it is meaningless." The crux of the matter was how many battles one could win in total out of the countless possible battles.
The system's evaluation method was to take out the data of these two players and place it into the database for comparison and battle simulation to get the average win rate. Then the ranking would be based on that. Perhaps the player ranked 80th could fight the player ranked 50th one hundred times and win one hundred times, but that would be pointless. If each of them were to queue a hundred Killing Games and challenge a hundred random players, the fiftieth ranked player would definitely win the most in the end.
For the photon computer, this was a matter of probability.
Or should I return to talk about Brother Jue's situation?
It wasn't hard to tell that the other seeded players were all influential figures. Even though Xu Huai Shang also chose to remain anonymous on the ranking, her situation was unique. Even though she was not on any ranking, she was still a celebrity player, and the reason for that will be explained later.
In conclusion, among the VIP players, only Feng Bujue was a troublemaker who came out of nowhere.
Naturally, the public's suspicion toward him would come like a tsunami.
If this was anyone else, they would have cleared all the letters from strangers. But Feng Bujue … Yes, he was a reader, but he would not go so far as to read every single one of them. After reading about two hundred of them, he only read the title and the beginning.
Brother Jue concluded that there were basically four types of emails.
The first type was the questioning type. The sender had never heard of the ID Feng Bujue before, but when they saw the list of VIP players, they came up with all kinds of speculations. Therefore, they sent emails with questions like, "Who are you?", "Brother, which guild are you from?", "So, the second place on the combat stat ranking is you?", "How did you get in?", "Are you XXX's sockpuppet?", and so on. There were all kinds of questions.
The second type was the jealous type. The number of these emails was much lower. Some of them had a questioning tone, and most of them were sarcastic comments like, "Brother, are you the relative of the game company's boss?", "Tycoon, how much is one slot?" There were even some that said, "God is watching us." In short, they were all kinds of slander and nonsense.
The third type was the flirting type. Their numbers were second only to the questioning emails, and the content was similar to the chat up emails that [Order] had sent over the past few days. However, there were all kinds of weird and weird ones … For example, someone would attach a loose stick of gum as an attachment and set the subject line as "Let's Be Friends"; or someone would send a can of gum with the subject line as "It's best to have two together" …
The fourth type was the baffling type. Perhaps the people who sent these emails thought that the player 'Feng Bujue' did not exist and was created by the gaming company to take up the player slot. Therefore, they typed a few random characters and sent out an email to see if they could send it out successfully.
Other than that, there were some emails that said things like, "Haha," "What the f * ck," "Watching a God," "Professional Hack Maker," "Old Army Doctor," and so on. In a way, they could be counted as the fourth type.
Feng Bujue only had one word in mind when facing this flood of emails — delete.
He did not care to reply, and he had no interest in doing so. With the help of the mass delete function, Brother Jue deleted these emails at a rate of one page per minute. He even blacklisted all the sender other than the 'questioning type' so that he would not run into them in the future.
From 12 am to 12: 30 am, Feng Bujue did not do anything else but deal with the emails. This was half an hour in real life, but in the game world … it was five hours.
For the past five hours, Brother Jue had been sitting on the stool, skimming through the emails page by page with great interest. He deleted them page by page. It felt like he was browsing a forum … but in reality, he was browsing through his own mailbox.
He did not know that on the real gaming forums, the mysterious player Feng Bujue had become one of the hottest topics.
This' one of the hottest topics' had to be added because the players' focus was not entirely on Brother Jue. After all, there were other VIP players, and there were many threads about the preliminaries and the competition rules.
The various speculations about the ID Feng Bujue took up at least twenty percent of the total number of threads.
There were plenty of players who exposed him, and some of them had queued up with Brother Jue before, like Loneliest When I Miss You at the start of the game, and Zombie Blade's Doomsday Assault and Final Assault. Feng Bujue had been leveling up, and he had interacted with quite a number of players. With his personality, it was natural for others to remember him.
However, those who had added Feng Bujue as friends, and those famous players and gaming studios, all kept quiet about this.
Therefore, a very strange situation occurred. Due to the sheer number of players who came up with false information and rumors, some of the real information was ignored as well. Brother Jue's identity became more and more mysterious, and the more rumors spread, the more bizarre they became. Some said he would eat people, some said he had eight hands, and some said he was a spirit that resided in the game world. One had to admire the imagination of the netizens. Feng Bujue had not even shown up in the public tournament, but he had already become an urban legend.
