Chapter 77: Triple Kills
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Song Fan dived into the game and began working on her missions within ‘Future City.’ This game offered a wide array of activities, allowing players to embark on solo adventures or choose various professions.
Whether joining a company to build a business empire or becoming a hunter taking on bounty missions. Every player had the freedom to shape their own paths, and each choice could lead them in a different direction.
To ensure the game’s stability and seamless experience, Song Fan and Hua Yue put considerable effort into creating a stable server.
The game’s popularity necessitated this effort to prevent issues and maintain a smooth gaming environment.
While Song Fan was exploring a new map, a player named Faraway approached, eager to team up for a quest. However, Song Fan preferred solo play and declined the invitation.
Despite the refusal, Faraway persisted, sending multiple team-up requests, seemingly oblivious to the rejection. Growing impatient, Song Fan decided to teach the persistent player a lesson.
She accepted the team-up invitation and then initiated a Player Kill (PK) encounter. In ‘Future City,’ once players added each other as friends, they could be dragged into PK situations without consent.
Song Fan launched a relentless assault on Faraway, who proved incapable of defending themselves and succumbed within a mere ten seconds.
PK battles typically followed a best-of-three rounds system, and Faraway helplessly lost all three rounds before Song Fan exited the encounter.
Back in the real world, Xu Yuan, who had been sitting in front of his computer, was left dumbfounded.
“What just happened?” Xu Yuan said blankly.
Were it not for the three consecutive losses displayed on his screen, he might not have believed what he had witnessed.
His three companions in the lounge had watched the entire PK battle and witnessed how badly Xu Yuan lost
Xia Rui couldn’t help but shake his head, remarking, “That was a complete one-sided suppression. Xu Yuan hardly had the opportunity to make a move.”
Xiao Lei offered an explanation, “His operating speed wasn’t particularly fast to begin with. If he goes up against the server’s number one player, Sunflower, he’ll undoubtedly lose.”
Qi Shuo added with a sigh, “Sunflower’s operating speed is simply astounding. I doubt anyone else in this competition stands a chance against her.”
Xu Yuan, feeling a bit put out by his friends’ comments, retorted, “Why are you all so biased toward Sunflower? I only wanted to form a team with her, but she killed me three times. You guys should go and avenge me!”
Qi Shuo burst into laughter, replying, “We won’t go. If you lose, don’t drag us into it.”
Engaging in PK battles could result in level loss, and they had put in significant effort to reach their current levels. Participating in PK against someone as skilled as Sunflower was a risky proposition.
Xu Yuan was frustrated and grumbled, “What has Sunflower been eating? How can she be so good at gaming? Could she be an employee at Star Technologies?”
Xia Rui interjected as he looked at the registration form, “It’s unlikely that her skills are related to her employment status. Some people simply have a natural talent for gaming that can’t be bought with money.”
Seeing Xia Rui’s screen, Xiao Lei asked, “Are you considering participating in this competition too?”
Everyone gathered around as Xu Yuan expressed his surprise, “This competition is open to players from both China and abroad. The competition will be intense. Are you really thinking about signing up?”
With a smile, Xia Rui clarified, “I haven’t actually filled out the form yet. I’m just taking a look. Why are you being so concerned? I haven’t decided whether I’ll participate or not. After all, Gu Chen has already signed up.”
Everyone was taken aback by this revelation. They hadn’t expected Gu Chen, who had always kept a low profile in the game, to participate in the competition.
Xu Yuan realized. “No wonder he’s been completing quests non-stop these past few days. He’s trying to level up quickly so he can enter high-level matchmaking directly without wasting time on PK battles.”
“Then who do you think will win between Gu Chen and Sunflower?”Xiao Lei asked.
Xiao Lei’s question left them in a quandary. As friends of Gu Chen, they naturally hoped for his victory. While Gu Chen possessed exceptional gaming skills, Sunflower was also a formidable adversary who had consistently ranked at the top.
They couldn’t determine Sunflower’s true capabilities either. Perhaps like Gu
Chen, Sunflower had been concealing her true strength and had more potential than she had shown so far..
