Chapter 125: Challenge Order
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
This request didn’t seem excessive, considering what had already been said.
However, Eric regained some rationality and declined, saying, “I can’t beat you in a one-on-one fight. You’re just trying to humiliate me.”
Just when it appeared that the boss had finally come to his senses, Grassi chimed in, saying, “Why make it a one-on-one battle? Since it’s the captain, let’s wager the entire team.”
This statement caused the rest of the team to want to throttle her. Why did she always speak up when she shouldn’t? It was evident that the boss had regained his senses.
Eric, perhaps to save his reputation in front of Grassi, puffed out his chest and proclaimed, “Grassi is correct. Since we are a team, we should bear the consequences together. I’m willing to accept this challenge.”
He said it with great enthusiasm, but Song Fan paid no heed. In her eyes, this was an incredibly foolish bet. Even the captain didn’t have the authority to make decisions for his team members.
“I will never agree to your request. My team members are not my subordinates,” Song Fan firmly declared.
Grassi sneered and retorted, “Team members should follow their captain’s lead. It appears you don’t command much respect and are much weaker than
Eric.”
“If by ‘weaker’ you mean in terms of making foolish decisions,” Song Fan fired back.
Even Eric’s team members couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this. Xu Yuan even typed out a string of laughter on the screen to openly express his mockery.
Xu Yuan pointed at the screen and remarked, “Sunflower’s responses are quite amusing. She should continue to retort like this.”
Xiao Lei and Xia Rui nodded in agreement. They were not people who would suppress their feelings. If Sunflower did back down, they would distance themselves from her in the future. After all, people with differing personalities wouldn’t get along well.
Qi Shuo, on the other hand, fell into deep thought. He felt like he had heard this type of speech somewhere before, but his thoughts were quickly diverted by Xu Yuan’s shouting.
It turned out that Eric had exploded, accusing Sunflower of bullying Grassi and declaring that their team had to seek revenge.
After this outburst, he issued the highest challenge order to Song Fan’s team.
This was the most serious challenge order in ‘Future City.’ It required a substantial number of points to use and would be transmitted to every player on the server. Everyone was eligible to watch the battle.
The highest challenge order stipulated that the loser had to give a portion of their points to the winner each time they lost, so until now, no one had used this challenge order.
Certainly, the challenged party could refuse, but since it was the only challenge across the entire server, news had already spread to other servers. At this point, rejecting the challenge was akin to admitting defeat.
Song Fan had her own sense of pride. She had held the number one spot in the entire server for a considerable amount of time. If she backed down now, she might as well quit the game altogether. Not liking trouble and fearing trouble were two different things. Someone had already stepped on her pride. If she didn’t fight back now, she would be considered the biggest coward in the world.
However, when she considered the other members of the team, Song Fan didn’t immediately accept the challenge. Instead, she inquired in the chat room, “What are you guys thinking? If you don’t want to fight, I’ll go solo.”
Xu Yuan quickly typed on the keyboard, “Of course, we’re up for the fight. Our team will surely emerge victorious.”
“Does this count as making a name for ourselves in the game?” Xiao Lei playfully remarked.
Xia Rui chimed in, saying, “Then we’ll undoubtedly become famous. Now, everyone knows about our Sun Team.”
The name did sound a bit like the name of a kindergarten class, but everyone tacitly accepted it as the team’s name. After all, their captain was Sunflower, so it was only fitting for the team to be named the “Sun” that could make sunflowers bloom.
Qi Shuo chuckled, “We have no fear of Eric whatsoever. We don’t even need to think about it; we’ll definitely win!”
As they rallied their support for Sunflower, Gu Chen sent a message in the chat room, “As long as Sunflower is the captain, we won’t lose.”
His words were filled with trust, causing the entire building to fall into silence. Given Gu Chen’s personality, it was expected that he wouldn’t speak. After a lengthy pause, Xu Yuan sighed, saying, “I really wish I could meet Sunflower in person and worship the person who can make Gu Chen bow his head.”
Xiao Lei patted his shoulder and quipped, “Then you better go back to sleep.
Dreams come true faster that way.”
