:Chapter 825 Counting On You, Going Offline For A While
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ming Du was not the only one from Quan Zhen Sect who had this kind of wretched mindset. They would make anything who was dangerous to them theirs, even if they would not have the chance to use it. This was the only way they could ensure that they were safe.
Everyone wanted to seek luck and avoid calamity. They were too used to being chased and killed, and then over time, they formed this habit.
“This is easy.” Fearless thought and said, “Later when we see that fella, Old Bull can just s.n.a.t.c.h it away.”
“Rob? This is not right…” After hearing what Fearless said, w.a.n.g Yu felt difficult.
w.a.n.g Yu always had high standards for his morals, which was why he would not do anything like that.
“There’s nothing wrong with that.” Fearless said, “If you think about it, those guys are not good guys either. That kind of stuff will only aid them in doing more evil stuff. What we are going to do is not robbery, it’s called doing justice for the heavens, understand?”
“Really?” w.a.n.g Yu was skeptical.
“Of course!” Fearless gave a pat on w.a.n.g Yu’s shoulder and replied, “When have I lied to you? I’m counting on you to maintain world peace.”
“Alright then!” w.a.n.g Yu was finally convinced by Fearless.
Therefore, everything had different ways to be viewed. Like w.a.n.g Yu, he just needed a reason to convince himself.
Round 3 begun, and player’s names from both sides appeared on the big screen again.
From Team Satan: Lucifer, Areca, White Sand, Li Qun, Yu Xi.
From Team A Murder of Crows: Iron Bull, Ming Du, Spring Halo, Fearless, Frost Blade.
“F*ck! What kind of luck is this?! Iron Bull is the first one!” After seeing w.a.n.g Yu’s name on the screen everyone from Quan Zhen Sect was agitated.
Due to the randomness of round-robin, round 2’s result had an uncertainty, since every player’s jobs, strength and ability and the battle location could affect the result of the game.
However, seeing w.a.n.g Yu’s name came up first, everyone from Quan Zhen Sect knew the ending of this round.
“d.a.m.n it, Old Bull, take it slow alright? I’ll go offline to have a cigarette…” Ming Du murmured and pressed on quit game.
Spring Halo also said, “I am going to the toilet.”
“I am going to drink some water…” Fearless said.
“Hehe!” Spring Halo smirked and side-eyed Fearless.
“Go away…” Fearless replied.
The others also looked relaxed and were all finding this chance to take a break offline.
This compet.i.tion was not an easy task. Even though most people do not compete most of the time, it was very tiring when they actually got down to fight.
Firstly, players had to observe their opponents to know them well. Secondly, something unexpected might happen which would result in their match being brought forward.
The time allocated for each game was controlled by the system, and there would be no emotions involved. Therefore, not a second could be wasted. If a player was late, he or she would automatically lose the match.
There was no need to reason with a machine. Hence, besides the rest time allocated, they would not leave the game for several hours.
Right now, with w.a.n.g Yu as the first one up, the result was more or less known already. Team A Murder of Crows won the first round, and if they win the upcoming match also, Team Satan would definitely lose no matter what they do. Therefore, even Yang Nuo went offline to touch up her makeup.
w.a.n.g Yu could not take it and asked, “Sister, you are gaming at home, who are you putting on makeup for?”
“None of your business!” Yang Nuo’s reply made sense.
“…” After hearing what Yang Nuo said, w.a.n.g Yu wished he could go offline to teach all of them a lesson in real life.
The game started; both players from both sides were summoned into the game location.
After seeing four missing players from the five that were supposed to appear, the audiences were stunned completely, “F*ck, what do they mean by this? Why do A Murder of Crows only have 1 player online?”
“Did the others surrender or something?” Everybody had their own speculations.
“No way, now that there is already one player in, they wouldn’t have surrendered,” a player who knew the rules well said.
<>’s rule for surrendering was very strict, to avoid players backing out in the middle of the game, they only could choose to surrender before the match started.
Once there were players in the match already, the compet.i.tion will begin officially, and only after the team had left with the last player then only could they choose to surrender.
Now that w.a.n.g Yu was in the match already, there was no reason why the others were not, unless the other players went offline.
At this moment, everybody’s attention went to Team A Murder of Crows, only to see Mu Zixian cheering for w.a.n.g Yu alone at A Murder of Crows area.
The audiences were stunned at the sight of this situation, “What, all of them went offline when the game is about to start, are they stupid or what?”
Team Satan was even more fired up, “F*ck their mother, these b*stards dare to look down on us? We shall let them taste the real deal this time.”
The location had been decided, it was the Sunset Farm.
Under the sunset, there was a huge land of farm. Houses and water carts made a great addition to the scenery. This was a typical Twilight City location.
w.a.n.g Yu’s opponent was still Lucifer. After the lesson from the last round, Lucifer became even more careful this round.
After noticing that w.a.n.g Yu picked the Sunset Farm, Lucifer became alert and moved to the water cart area right away.
As an expert, Lucifer knew that this water cart was the most strategic point in this location.
w.a.n.g Yu’s job was not just a Pugilist as he was also one who knew Qing Gong. This height was really easy for w.a.n.g Yu to jump on but the Holy Knights could only stand below and stare. If w.a.n.g Yu used this place for cover, Lucifer would not have any way to defeat him.
However, what he did not know was that w.a.n.g Yu did not think that much when he chose the location. The only reason he chose this farm was that he was just very familiar with everything here so it would make his life a little easier…
Only after Lucifer reached the water cart then he realised that w.a.n.g Yu strolled to the street entrance of the farm staring at him blankly.
“What are you doing? Can you even jump that high?” w.a.n.g Yu said with disdain.
Even though the water cart looked short, it was still quite a height to jump. Amongst the 7 types of jobs, only the Pugilist could leap onto it without additional special skills. Holy Knight was a heavyweight job, so even if they could leap onto the water cart, battling with a Pugilist in this kind of location would just be them digging their own grave.
“F*ck…”
Even though Lucifer did not know why was w.a.n.g Yu at the entrance, he was slightly embarra.s.sed when faced with w.a.n.g Yu’s ridicule. He simply lowered his head and walked back.
