Song Fan asked very politely, though the meaning behind her words was quite obvious, “Are you guys mentally ill?”
They couldn’t comprehend why they had suddenly become so enthusiastic, and the few who were directly addressed felt that they had been overly excited. They ceased their chatter on the World Channel.
However, this action triggered Eric’s anger. He felt that they were not taking him seriously, which he found humiliating.
He promptly ordered his team members, “Beat them up later and make them beg for mercy.”
Chun Rixue was genuinely tempted to strangle his boss. Did he have any idea what he was saying? The three of them wouldn’t be enough to defeat him. Yet, considering what lay ahead, he responded in the chat room, “Understood!”
The members in the meeting room stared at Chun Rixue in astonishment. He had looked like he was on the brink of exhaustion just the previous day, so why was he suddenly so enthusiastic today?
Eric greatly appreciated Chun Rixue’s response and even praised him in the chat room, thinking that the plan to promote him could move forward.
With both sides ready, the Star Technologies staff acting as referees made an announcement. “The rules of this competition have been changed following discussions with both teams. The game page of the players from the two teamswill now have the option to admit defeat. As long as they do not click on thisoption, they will continue to play until one of them loses all their points.”
This new gameplay surprised all the players, as losing all their points would be equivalent to losing all their in-game progress. It was almost as severe as quitting the game entirely. However, both teams remained silent, leaving the players with no choice but to accept it with resignation.
Eric looked at Song Yin and confidently declared, “Watch how I defeat them all.
Song Yin smiled sweetly, replying, “I’ll wait for your victory.”
She didn’t genuinely believe that Eric could defeat Sunflower, but she wanted her team to accumulate points for her. If they managed to overcome Sunflower’s team, she would earn an unimaginable number of points. When she became the top player in the entire server, her classmates would envy her, just like before.
To guarantee her success, she had even spent a considerable sum to acquire a cheating device, eagerly anticipating its use in battle. Her dream was to become the top player on the entire server, attracting envy and admiration from her fellow students, just as it had happened in the past.
Song Yin felt elated at the thought of that scene. When the time came, she wouldn’t have to appease Eric anymore. Only individuals like Gu Chen and Fu Nian were worthy of her. Eric’s claims of being a boss were irrelevant; no one knew what kind of small company he worked for.
The Star Technologies employees announced the official start of the battle and quickly retreated from the battle arena. Eric was the first to charge toward Song Fan, but before he could get close, Gu Chen’s cannon sent him flying. Gu Chen utilized the character’s sole long-range attack option, wielding a hot weapon cannon.
Chun Rixue didn’t stand idly by either; he followed Eric into the fray. He engaged Xu Yuan in combat, but no progress was made. Even Xu Yuan sensed that their opponent wasn’t genuinely committed to the fight.
He collaborated with Chun Rixue to continue their battle. Both of them appeared to be the busiest players on the battlefield, yet they remained unscathed throughout the skirmish.
Song Fan’s focus was primarily on Eric, whom he had under constant pressure, preventing him from making any significant moves. Gu Chen occasionally contributed with a few well-timed shots, demonstrating their seamless teamwork.
“Quick, save me!” Eric yelled from the meeting room.
However, the team members in the meeting room were too engrossed in their own battles. The opposing team was proving to be exceptionally formidable, leaving no room for them to come to Eric’s rescue.
Song Yin, inexperienced in gaming, frantically ran around the battlefield, unsure of what to do. Her success in accumulating points thus far had been solely due to her association with Eric. Engaging with another player in combat now would likely result in her swift defeat, making her cautious about attempting any offensive action.
She desperately wished to call for Eric’s assistance but couldn’t find a moment to type in the chat room, as evading her opponents consumed all her time. The onlookers in the game commented on the highly anticipated battle:
[It seems like Eric is struggling.]
[Their team doesn’t appear to be very strong overall.]
[They relied heavily on Chun Rixue before, but now that she’s being held back, their combat strength has plummeted.]
[ I think it won’t take much longer to end. .]
[Such a letdown. I thought their team had improved before they dared to
challenge.]
[ lt doesn’t look interesting. It’s just one-sided punishment….]
