1257: Chapter 1168: Fate 1257: Chapter 1168: Fate In the command of the system, the competition officially began.
Su Ran didn’t hold back just because this guy was his fan; he easily took down the player, who was only level 22, with a fireball, forcibly stripped him of one level of experience, and even burst his staff out, which added a twinge of guilt and remorse to Su Ran’s heart.
At this mont, he felt no joy in his victory; what worried him was whether such harsh treatnt of a low-level player might bring retribution in the future.
Su Ran picked up the staff, a level 20 Bronze weapon, and it was then he confird the player was simply there to make up numbers, which lightened the feeling of guilt in his heart sowhat.
In the following contests, Su Ran fought ten consecutive matches, all easily won, sweeping through a plethora of novice players, invincible.
As the number of people he defeated increased, Su Ran beca more desensitized to it.
The guilt he had felt earlier was now thrown to the back of his mind—after all, it was the system that matched him with those opponents.
If there was soone to bla, it was the system!
Unknown to Su Ran, the online forums were already boiling with activity, with all topics and opinions focusing on him.
Not only losing one level upon death but also equipnt explosion; was this still a competition?
It might as well be called malicious PK!
Most importantly, this black-robed masked player had such high damage output that it didn’t seem like the capacity expected of soone in the Newcor Group.
Coupled with the posts from the victimized players, all clues were pointing directly at Overturning Water Can’t Be Regained.
As the saying goes, if one person says sothing, it’s dubious, but if everyone says it, even a lie becos the truth, especially when it was true to begin with.
Thus, the players unanimously confird that a wolf had sneaked into the flock!
The players in their twenties all looked worried.
With such a strong player among them, how could they play peacefully?
Following that, Su Ran faced an unprecedented number of complaints, like snowflakes, flooding into the headquarters of the ga company, forcing the senior managent to pay attention to the matter.
The subsequent developnt of the plot was not hard to guess, after all, the data was there, blatantly evident, impossible to evade the backend detection!
“Swoosh!”
Just after Su Ran achieved ten consecutive victories and waited for a few minutes, another player was allocated not far in front of him.
The appearance of this person stunned Su Ran; not to ntion his looks, just that bright green hat was enough to be deeply morable.
An old acquaintance, the green hat player!
Who would have thought he’d encounter this person in the Newcor Group?
They were truly fated!
“Eh?
Aren’t you the Lord?”
Upon seeing Su Ran, the green hat player first paused, then his eyes shone brightly, revealing a ferocious expression, “Last ti you killed was an accident, now I can finally take my revenge!”
“What?
There are so many in black cloaks in the ga, how could you be sure it was ?”
Su Ran exclaid in surprise, looking at the green hat player.
He had hid himself so deeply, yet he was recognized at first glance?
A dog’s nose, perhaps?
“That’s easy, I saw surprise in your eyes, you stared at my face for one second, and at my hat for nearly ten seconds.
This proves, we’ve had dealings before!”
“Good logic!”
Su Ran was truly impressed, admiring from the bottom of his heart; recognizing soone just by the hat, he really didn’t understand how the color of this hat was exceptionally eye-catching?
Back when he had visited the dungeon, it had been this guy who had tracked him.
After he saved the old beggar, this guy had overheard him being called the Lord.
He had thought his identity as part of the Human Race was about to be exposed, yet, this green hat player had staunchly decided that his na was the Lord.
This logic really wasn’t sothing a normal mind could co up with…
“Don’t think wearing a broken mask can fool ; hurry up and return my Petrification Orb!”
The green-hatted player had finally caught this black-robed player, the despicable guy he dread of catching, and unexpectedly they t at the tournant—even the system was on his side!
This rare opportunity couldn’t be missed!
“What is a Petrification Orb, I don’t understand it?”
Su Ran feigned confusion, as this was a question he would never admit to, lest it affect his identity as a Human Race.
Su Ran’s hand had already reached into his robe, ready to pull out the bone scythe.
Against the green-hatted player in front of him, Su Ran had to go all out.
This kid’s erratic disappearing act was downright abnormal!
Had it not been for the Illusion Demon black robe he wore, he would have already donned the Death Sedge Cloak, a treasure perfect for countering invisibility, and ideally suited for dealing with the green-hatted player.
But there was no choice, as this was a tournant, hiding his true identity was most important.
“You don’t understand?
Damn, stop playing the fool!
You dare to act but not to own up, what kind of man are you?”
Hoisting the long sword in his hands, the green-hatted player looked dismissively up and down at Su Ran, “Don’t deny it, even if you turn to ashes, I’ll recognize you.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to return it, when I see you next, I’ll expose you!”
“What’s going on, why hasn’t the system announced the start of the battle?”
Su Ran wasn’t interested in talking to this guy, he was already prepared for battle, but he had waited a long ti without hearing any prompt from the system, sothing was definitely off!
Could it be that the system gave them a few extra minutes to catch up because it thought that two acquaintances were eting?
This is ridiculous, isn’t it?
Or was it because the popularity of the tournant, with so many participants, had caused the system to crash?
That wasn’t very likely either.
Aside from these possibilities, Su Ran couldn’t think of any other reason.
Helplessly, he could only wait patiently, temporarily suppressing the killing intent in his heart; he decided to let this kid live a little longer.
However, the green-hatted player hadn’t noticed this issue and continued using threatening words to pressure Su Ran, disrupting his state of mind.
There was nothing Su Ran could do to silence him, so he just had to put up with it.
Once the fight started, he would definitely smash a fireball directly onto this endlessly babbling mouth, to quiet it for good!
However.
The wait for the duel never ca to fruition; instead, Su Ran was forcibly teleported out of the arena and back to his territory.
At the sa ti, the long-awaited system notification ca, finally dispelling his doubts.
“Ding!
Due to a system glitch resulting in several high-level players being placed into the Newcor Group, seriously disrupting the balance of power, corrections have been made by removing 122 players who do not et the level requirents and reassigning match groups.
Previously eliminated players have all been given a chance to revive.
As for those who died during a match, losing a level isn’t due to the system glitch.
We wish you a pleasant gaming experience.”
“Ding!
Dear player ‘Skeleton,’ due to a system glitch preventing you from having a normal gaming experience, we are gifting you a random item pack as compensation.
Thank you for your cooperation.”
Damn!
Couldn’t they wait until after this fight to make changes?
My hand was already in my robe, and then you show this?
Having escaped a sure demise due to the green-hatted player, Su Ran felt extrely frustrated.
He had planned on killing him and then checking if he could drop an ancient orb, but now the system had thoroughly ssed up his rhythm.
