On the morning of the 25th of May, at the market's 10th zone.
Passing Rain and Laughing Soul were there to join in the fun. They wanted to see how the commentator would announce the match.
"Hi, beauties, long time no see."
Once they entered the market, they ran into a familiar face.
"Oh, it's Jin Fugui." Laughing Soul giggled.
"Hey! Can't you just call me by my nickname? "Atobe really did not expect that … the first thing that came out of her mouth would be a trap for him.
Then, the two from Underworld Frontline saw that there was another player in Hyotei's outfit standing next to Atobe. It was a female player, and her ID was Black White Gray.
Even though Black White Gray was a female player, she was dressed in male clothing. Her hair was combed into bangs, and there was a masculine air about her. It felt like … Atobe next to her was more feminine.
"Haha … Leader, so your name is Jin Fugui?" Black White Gray laughed.
"Hmm …" Atobe could not deny his real name, so he quickly changed the topic. "Ah … Let me make the introductions. This is the wife of Master Feng of Broken Sword Chahitsu, and this is the main fighter of their organization." He was trying to pull the rug out from under them.
"What?" Black White Gray was confused.
However, she soon saw the badge of Underworld Frontline and said, "Wow! You are … "
"Yes." Passing Rain interrupted her directly to prevent her from making a fuss and attracting the attention of the surrounding people.
"Oh! Leader, you're amazing. You really know someone from Underworld Frontline. Due to Xiao Tan's outstanding performance, Underworld Frontline has gained some fame. "Black White Gray turned to Atobe." I thought you were bluffing again. "
Atobe was embarrassed, but he did not know how to react, so he could only laugh drily.
"This word 'again' sure makes one's imagination run wild …" Laughing Soul said with a wicked smile.
"Ha, you are indeed here." Another familiar voice rang out. Long Aomin waved as he walked over.
"Because we knew this would be livestreamed, we decided to come and take a look …" Passing Rain said.
Seven Kills followed beside Brother Long and greeted the four before him. "Nice to meet you."
"Oh, oh! It's Seven Kills! Leader. " Black White's hands tugged on Atobe's collar and swung him back and forth, but her eyes were glued to the two from Blade Edge.
"I saw it …" Atobe was not that powerful, but he had met many important characters. Basically … for those who had become good friends with Feng Bujue, they would not be surprised no matter what happened.
Long Aomin and Atobe knew each other. They had rehearsed the scenario together with Xiao Tan. Thus, after some introductions and small talk, the six of them stood together to watch the competition.
"Right … Atobe." After a while, Seven Kills was reminded of something and told Atobe, "Your club's' Ming Nan Trio 'seems to have all entered the Battle of the Butterfly. That's quite impressive."
"Er …" Atobe's face blushed again. "Ha … ha ha … yes … those three kids … are … okay … haha …" He forced a smile.
Seven Kills was slow on the uptake. He did not see the reason for the awkwardness. Noticing the weird reaction from Atobe, he did not say anything else. He shrugged and turned back to the big screen.
"Leader … even you can feel embarrassed …" Black White whispered into Atobe's ear.
"Stop nagging … At least I made it to the playoffs … It's the competition schedule, the competition schedule!" Atobe explained softly. At this point, he was suddenly reminded of something. He turned to Passing Rain and Laughing Soul to ask, "Hmm? Speaking of which … the two of you have reached level thirty already, right? How come I don't see your names in the Battle of the Cocoon? "
"We didn't sign up," Passing Rain answered succinctly.
Laughing Soul added, "I feel like the competition is so troublesome."
"Oh … You have a point … After all, you are casual players …" Atobe agreed.
"Even professional players will be eliminated." Black White leaned in to give the leader another stab.
…
At the same time, in the log-in lobby.
Feng Bujue sat on the stool, waiting for the competition to start.
With the big battle around the corner, it would be rude if he did not provide a character profile. Following was … Brother Jue's information after thirty chapters:
Title: Vanguard of Darkness, Title Ability: Descent of the War Demon
EXP: 19950003900000, Skill Points: 30700, Game Coins: 1960000
Mastery: General Ability C, Workmanship C, Sleuthing D, Fighting B, Marksmanship D, Medic D, Sorcery C, Summoning D
Inventory (10/15): Mario's Wrench, Flashlight, Stool of the Eighteen Bronze Statues (No. 5), SCP-500 (520), Anti-gravity Gun, Miss Moxxi's Bad Temper, Bell of Jin Gang, Life Points Recovery Potion (M) x5, Endless Grenade Box, WJQ-308 Military Shovel (Indestructible)
Equipment: Jazz Shoes, Death Poker (Sorcery Weapon), Echo Armor, Artemis' Embrace, Alchemy Amplification Device
Storage (2/10): Puzzle Card: Monkey, Puzzle Card: Strawberry
Skills Column (712): [Not So Hasty Repair] [Body Enhancement Technique] [Ice Alchemist's Persistence] [Southern Dipper Flying Dragon Fist] [Summon — Musashi Koganui] [Geppo]
It could be seen that Brother Jue, who had just sold 2,000,000 Game Coins at the start of May, had accumulated close to 2,000,000 Game Coins by the end of May. However … when he finished his trade at the start of the month, he had about 860,000 Game Coins left. In other words, his Game Coins this month was less than half of the previous month's.
There were two main reasons for this. One was undoubtedly the Magical Disintegrator. If he sold all the equipment that was used for this thing, then it would be a sizable profit. Furthermore, Brother Jue had gone to buy a few useless excellent quality equipment to fill it up. That would be even more of a loss for him.
The second reason was that after his level increased, Brother Jue would often challenge the Team Survival Mode on Nightmare Difficulty. But so far … he had not cleared it even once. The time he wasted on these scenarios was not worth much.
Overall, in this half a month, Feng Bujue had basically maintained his character as a casual player. Because there was no competition pressure, he was quite lazy with his character. Instead, he was more concerned with Xiao Tan's competition schedule.
However, after Woody's visit, Feng Bujue's attitude had to change. Therefore, in the past two days, he had fully utilized his Game Time to seriously clear some Solo Nightmare Scenarios. As long as he cleared them, he would choose the EXP reward. With this, he quickly reached level 39.
Unfortunately, this last-minute effort did not give Feng Bujue much of a boost. The equipment and skills that he had acquired during this time were mostly mediocre. There was only one Fighting Skill that was okay, but he did not meet the requirements to learn it.
[Name: Fallen Flowers Scattered Flower]
Skill Card Attribute: Active, Permanent
[Skill Type: Fighting]
Effect: With the user as the center, all targets within a radius of ten meters will be attacked indiscriminately (Cooldown of forty minutes. Can only be activated when using a bladed weapon)
Consumption: 1,000 Stamina Points
[Learning Requirement: Female player, Fighting Mastery B, Sorcery D]
Remark: A good swordswoman knows how to use her actions to say 'stay away from me'. — — —
Brother Jue naturally gifted this skill to Passing Rain. After all, there was only one female player in Underworld Frontline who used a bladed weapon.
Other than that, Feng Bujue had also obtained an excellent quality footwear, the kind with decent stats. However, he believed that Jazz Shoes were more suitable for him, so he placed the new pair of shoes in the guild's shared storage for his teammates to use as they wished.
In conclusion … the hard work of the past two days did not give Feng Bujue any obvious boost. Now he did not have the time to prepare. Looking back at the half a month of sloppiness, he could not help but sigh. If he had been more diligent, he would have been more relaxed now.
Of course, even if the situation remained the same, Brother Jue was not that worried. He firmly believed that as long as he had the heart to win, there would be a way.
This was not because he was arrogant, and it was not because he underestimated Xu Huai Shang because she was a female player.
If one were to ask him where his confidence came from, this narcissist would probably say, "When I get serious, even I am afraid of myself."
