On the fourth day, when Bai Lixin opened the forum and saw the declaration of war at the top, a faint smile finally appeared.
The Shentian Guild couldn’t find him privately, and as the event’s end approached, they couldn’t hold back, becoming anxious and agitated.
This post was a declaration of war, with the Shentian Guild posting pictures of all their tokens.
They staked all their tokens, declaring war against him.
Numerous comments followed, containing both mockery and praise.
Bai Lixin responded with just one word:
[Why?]
Indeed, why?
With most tokens already in his hands, God Xin stood undefeated. Why would he foolishly engage in such a challenge?
He was not stupid!
Just one word, but it was powerful.
The Shentian Guild did not have as many tokens, but they dared to dream.
Did they want to force God Xin into an unequal battle in public? They wanted to aim for maximum gain with minimal effort? Still want to benefit without investing anything?
Oh, the Shentian Guild’s wishful thinking could even be heard on the 999th layer!
Mockery quickly followed.
In the afternoon of the fourth day, the Shentian Guild, which had been constantly stirred up by public opinion, finally couldn’t take it anymore. This time, they didn’t just use tokens; they added many props, mall point cards, and performance point cards.
Piles of cards stacked in the photos, seemingly ready to overflow at any moment.
This was the Shentian Guild’s additional stakes.
This time, the audience awaited for Bai Lixin’s response with bated breath.
Unlike the last time, this time they were somewhat hopeful that God Xin would accept.
Risking wealth for danger, if God Xin won, he would not only get all the card pool rewards but also obtain all the opponent’s props.
How could God Xin miss such a good thing!
While everyone was waiting anxiously, it was nearly 10 p.m when Bai Lixin finally posted. While the words were slightly more, they weren’t much.
—“Since you insist, I’ll reluctantly accept.”
—I’ll choose the competition content and tell you what we’re competing in tomorrow.
That night was another sleepless night for the Shentian Guild.
Many netizens also stayed awake.
‘Ah, God Xin is bad! How could he tease people like this?
It’s okay to decide, but why announce it tomorrow?
I really want to know what God Xin will choose.’
[God Xin will surely choose a competition based on strength, right? Like shooting.]
[Regardless of the choice, God Xin will definitely pick a competition most favorable to him. With the initiative in God Xin’s hands, he’s invincible with both a horse and an army.]
[What does the Shentian Guild have to compete with him?]
[Well, despite the mockery, the Shentian Guild is still full of veterans on the 800 floor and above, they surely have strength. And they like to play dirty; what if they trick God Xin…]
[In front of everyone, I want to see how they’ll trick God Xin.]
[In front of everyone, didn’t they still manage to pull God Xin into their copy?]
[I’m suddenly worried for God Xin.]
[I trust God Xin. Patiently waiting for tomorrow’s results.]
The next morning, people eagerly opened the forum to see if Bai Lixin had posted.
Unfortunately, the posts were still the same as yesterday, there was nothing new.
Even by noon, there was still no new post.
There were less than 8 hours left until the event ended. During this time, the Shentian Guild had posted two more times.
People clearly sensed their urgency, and the Shentian Guild was genuinely anxious.
As the time for the competition drew nearer, someone posted that they saw Bai Lixin on the first floor.
Bai Lixin, who had secluded himself in his dormitory for almost a week, finally appeared!
At this moment, with only half an hour left until the event ended, Bai Lixin’s post finally appeared on the forum.
[Rock, paper, scissors, one round determines victory or defeat. I’m in the first-floor lobby now. If you want to compete, come within ten minutes; no delays.]
No delays.
With two simple words, he completely grasped the situation.
At that moment, people seemed to see a young man tying a rope around a dragon’s nostrils.
No matter how fierce the dragon, it could only be led by the nose.
[Rock, paper, scissors? Fuck, is God Xin crazy? Isn’t his luck f-?]
[But… if it’s to prevent cheating, this purely luck-based rock, paper, scissors is the best choice, right?]
[No strength, just luck. God Xin has low luck but chose rock, paper, scissors. In God Xin’s mind, he must know that the Shentian Guild will resort to despicable means, so he had no choice but to choose rock, paper, scissors?]
[Damn, God Xin is so miserable. Looks like he’s in a tough spot…]
People who liked to join in the excitement rushed to the first floor.
Many people who had reached high floors hadn’t been to the first floor in a long time, let alone the Shentian Guild.
Inside the lobby, they saw Bai Lixin standing in the middle from a distance.
He wore a simple white shirt, his entire body’s skin translucent like pearls.
Just standing there, he attracted everyone’s attention.
By the fifth minute, the Shentian Guild members arrived in full force.
It was at this moment that players, whether newbies on the first floor or high-level ones, finally saw the true face of the Shentian Guild.
They wore matching clothes, each one a handsome or beautiful figure. Their long windbreakers accentuated their graceful demeanor.
Leading them was the long-haired, gloomy man Bai Lixin had seen that day, followed closely by the Little Overlord.
Seeing the Shentian Guild members, whispers spread around.
“Are these the Shentian Guild members? They all seem good-looking?”
“What do you know? After leveling up to high floors and accumulating enough mall points, you can exchange for cosmetic items. No matter how ugly or ordinary a person is, after several modifications, they can turn into a handsome or beautiful figure. Aren’t there only good-looking people from the 800th gloor? This just shows how much plastic surgery they’ve had.”
“Damn, so that’s how it is. They must have modified their faces so much that even their mothers wouldn’t recognize them, right?”
“Possibly.”
“These cosmetic cards are really useful. When I have enough points, I’ll go exchange too. Hehehe.”
“If only this cosmetic effect could be carried out of the game.”
“Stop talking, I want it too.”
The Shentian Guild had more than a hundred people, and now, twenty people came down in a grand manner.
Although people could curse them online where they couldn’t see them, when they truly faced the Shentian Guild, an inexplicable fear of the higher floors made them subconsciously step back, tacitly giving way to the Shentian Guild.
All the Shentian Guild members had the same expressionless faces. They walked with an air of elegance and soon arrived in front of Bai Lixin.
In contrast, Bai Lixin’s expression seemed completely natural.
He wore a natural smile, and had an air of confidence.
Bai Lixin observed the man in front of him but remained silent.
The more casual Bai Lixin appeared, the more tense the opposite side seemed.
The man was waiting for Bai Lixin to speak first, but Bai Lixin remained silent.
As seconds ticked away, the man’s already dark face grew even darker.
With only one minute left until Bai Lixin’s mentioned ten minutes, the Little Overlord couldn’t hold back, tugging the man‘s sleeve.
The man furrowed his brows slightly but still took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, “I’m Ariel, the vice president of the Shentian Guild. According to the agreement, we’re here for the challenge.”
Bai Lixin chuckled. He didn’t respond to the black-haired man. Instead, his eyes focused on the Little Overlord standing behind the man. “Little Overlord, long time no see.”
“I thought you were so powerful with your bold words, but you ended up joining the Shentian Guild and became their dog. Maybe you shouldn’t be called Little Overlord, Little Pug suits you better,”
There was a burst of laughter all around.
The Little Overlord blushed and retorted, “Where did you see me as the Shentian Guild’s dog? Clearly, the Shentian Guild is my dog!”
All Shentian Guild members, including the long-haired man, unconsciously furrowed their brows.
Whispers spread around.
“Damn, the Little Overlord actually said that in front of the Shentian Guild’s vice president. His position in the guild must be extraordinary.”
“Exactly, the analysis earlier was correct. Could the Little Overlord have saved their guild president’s life before?”
“I told you, how could someone with such a low level as the Little Overlord join the Shentian Guild? They have gone to great lengths for him, how can they do that for an ordinary member.”
“But the Little Overlord actually dared to say that the Shentian Guild is his dog. He’s quite bold.”
Bai Lixin’s smile deepened. “I haven’t seen you for a few days, but your skills haven’t improved. However, your boasting skills have increased a lot, hahaha.”
His laughter infected the people around him, and they immediately started laughing too.
The Little Overlord was so angry that his hair almost stood on end, “Say that again! Who are you calling a boaster?!”
“Alright, alright,” Bai Lixin waved his hand, “enough of this banter. Haha, let’s get back to business and have a competition. Time is running out, so let’s settle it with a game of rock, paper, scissors. Who’s coming forward?”
Little Overlord: “What are the rules?”
Bai Lixin: “One round decides the winner. If I win, you give me everything you offered. If you win, everything goes to you. It’s just me against all of you. Who wants to challenge me? How about you, Little Overlord?”
“Huh, I won’t fall for it a second time. You, cunning trickster, I won’t do it myself.” Little Overlord nudged the black-haired man beside him. “Your luck is high, right? You go.”
The black-haired man frowned. “What if I lose?”
“You won’t lose, your luck is high. Don’t you know him? His luck is only F—, he’s the one who will definitely lose.”
The black-haired man still frowned, “If he’s certain to lose, why don’t you go yourself?”
Little Overlord rolled his eyes, “Do I need to personally deal with him? You go.”
The black-haired man grinned, “Fine, I’ll go.”
With only ten minutes left until the end of the event, Bai Lixin and the black-haired man faced each other. Little Overlord urged, “Time is running out, don’t waste it.”
As time ticked away, the countdown for the event appeared above their heads.
Under Little Overlord’s continuous urging, a trace of anger flashed in the black-haired man’s eyes. However, he soon focused his attention on the young man across from him.
The two quickly signed a competition contract, and with the blessing of the contract, there was no backing out.
The young man remained nonchalant, showing no sense of urgency.
Indeed, he had no urgency. He even felt like the other party was just playing with them.
If not for Little Overlord’s constant prodding, they wouldn’t have come down.
That damn Little Overlord.
And this damn Bai Lixin.
Teasing them with one post every day, he was also the first player to stand them up.
Little Overlord that fool. Seeing the confident look on the opposite side, did he really think the other party would start a losing challenge?
The other party is already in an unbeatable position. When wealth accumulates to a certain level, 40 million and 100 million were practically the same. When they provided so many prop cards, maybe the other party was hiding somewhere, mocking them as a bunch of fools.
Only Little Overlord believed Bai Lixin was actually competing with them.
Seeing the current situation, it was obvious he planned to drag it to the last minute, make them look ridiculous on the first floor.
How long had it been since their Shentian Guild came to the first floor?
If not twenty years, it must be at least ten?
Now, they were led to the first floor by a waste of 500 floors.
How embarrassing.
Watch closely, Little Overlord. See how this person plays with them, making them lose face time and time again.
When the time comes, you, Little Overlord, will carry this pot from start to finish!
While the black-haired man was complaining in his mind, the person opposite suddenly stretched out his arm and waved it, smiling at him mysteriously. “Let me tell you a secret. You’ll throw rock later.”
The black-haired man was stunned, looking at the other side in surprise.
His voice was not low, and everyone around heard it.
Another round of commotion ensued.
“What’s God Xin doing? Is he intentionally throwing the match? Directly telling the opponent what he’ll throw?”
“No, you didn’t hear it clearly. He said the opponent will throw a rock.”
“Ah, what’s going on with God Xin today? First, he chose rock-paper-scissors, the thing he’s worst at, and now he’s predicting the opponent’s move.”
“In these psychological games, don’t they usually say what they themselves will throw? What’s this operation of predicting the opponent’s move.”
“Don’t listen to him!” Little Overlord’s voice came from the side. “We’ll throw scissors! Hmph, Bai Lixin, I’ve seen through your tricks long ago.”
The black-haired man glanced at the Little Overlord, and then turned his attention to the young man opposite him again. The young man opposite him was still smiling at him, “I told you, you can make rocks, so let’s start now.”
He randomly pulled a player from the crowd and said, “Please help me count to one.”
The man was a little nervous: “N-now?”
Bai Lixin: “Yes, now, thank you. Let’s get started, opponent, remember to throw rock.”
The Little Overlord was so angry that he stamped his feet, “I told you we are going to use scissors, I’ve seen your plot a long time ago.”
The person in charge of counting down ignored Little Overlord, swiftly starting the countdown. “Three!”
Little Overlord immediately shut his mouth, looking at the black-haired man nervously.
On the fourth day, when Bai Lixin opened the forum and saw the declaration of war at the top, a faint smile finally appeared.
The Shentian Guild couldn’t find him privately, and as the event’s end approached, they couldn’t hold back, becoming anxious and agitated.
