Directly Giving Points
“This is too fake. F*ck, there was news that the Mad Dragon Guild had accepted their money. They didn’t even look at who had received the money. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that it was Hank Guild.”
“Hank Guild has such a high score. Why would they directly surrender ten points to the Mad Dragon Guild? I can’t comprehend that. Now, the Mad Dragon Guild’s position as the first is even more secure.”
“Damn it, is Roger out of his mind? This dumbass caused me to lose several rounds.”
“I warned you not to mess with all these miscellaneous things. Now, you see the consequences of not listening to the advice of the elderly.”
“Fortunately, I didn’t bother with other matters and focused solely on the game. Others were taken advantage of and stripped clean by the house and the manipulators.”
Such gambling games were not available domestically, but they were prevalent overseas. Many people directly placed bets abroad through technical means.
Petite Delicate was attentively watching the next match of the Mad Dragon Guild, and upon seeing the comments flooding the screen, she could barely hold back the frustration on her face.
“Sure, Mad Dragon Guild won, but so what? It’s only because Roger threw the match. Without Roger, how could they possibly win?!”
“That’s how people without real talent are. Who knows if he’s already bribed Roger.”
“I just don’t believe Mad Dragon Guild is innocent. If they were innocent, why would rumors circulate online?”
“We should support a thorough investigation of the Mad Dragon Guild. Let’s dig into Star Rebel and see if there’s any real issue with him.”
“I think there’s something wrong with you guys. Why bother investigating Star Rebel? Even if you find anything, it’s an internal matter of the Mad Dragon Guild. Yet, you’re here making a fuss.”
These people were just here for the spectacle, not caring about the consequences. They would love to see chaos among the players of the Mad Dragon Guild, causing a huge uproar and becoming widely known.
“The guild master doesn’t have time to deal with you,” muttered Petite Delicate under her breath. Feifei glanced at her but didn’t say anything.
Zhang Wansheng couldn’t hold it anymore. He couldn’t understand how lucky the Mad Dragon Guild was! To such an extent that they had opponents willingly offering them a perfect score, a whole ten points. The gap became too wide.
Even if he was dissatisfied deep down, he had to accept this reality. In his heart, he blamed Roger as well, for not respecting the competition or the audience. They deserved to lose!
On the internet, this incident barely made a ripple. Star Rebel had quite a fan base online, and most people still didn’t want Star Rebel to lose. But now that Roger got eliminated, some disgruntled foreign netizens started leaving sarcastic comments on their guild page.
The Mad Dragon Guild didn’t pay any attention to this whole thing. They were dreaming if they thought they could use this tactic to sow discord within the Mad Dragon Guild.
On the sixth day, precisely at 10 PM, the leaderboard was settled. The Mad Dragon Guild secured an impressive 68 consecutive wins, with a total score of 270 points, firmly holding the first position and leaving a gap of nearly 70 points between them and the second-ranked Hank Guild.
All the spectators had been on the edge of their seats these past few days. In some matches, the Mad Dragon Guild almost lost to formidable opponents, and everyone thought their winning streak would come to an end. But Han Xing stepped up once again, turning the tide in their favor.
The players of Mad Dragon Guild had certainly gained a lot of prestige these past few days, and Han Xing didn’t disappoint them either, as he generously provided each of them with a piece of equipment, a weapon.
The reward for the first place this time was particularly generous. Not only did they receive several weapons, but also several rare items. They even received over 20 rare herbs, without hesitation.
Among them, Han Xing’s favorite was the Alpha Ring. Once worn, the ring would immediately enhance all of the player’s basic attributes, with a direct increase of 10% in attack power.
Unfortunately, these rare items could not be upgraded through Turning Trash Into Treasure. There were some immediate-use items, but they were just trivial gadgets that Han Xing wasn’t interested in.
His attention shifted to the ten randomly rewarded items, hoping for better luck and more skill books to be awarded to him.
“Open the random items.”
I Ian Xing didn’t hesitate and opened all ten of them at once. After the ding-dong sound of the system prompt, he glanced at the ten things on the ground, feeling a mix of amusement and frustration.
His luck wasn’t too bad this time, but most of the things he got were not what Han Xing desired.
He quickly counted and threw several experience orbs aside, not sure if it was because he was a lightning mage this time, but finally, a regular lightning skill book dropped.
The skill book was called Phantom Thunderstrike, which could randomly summon a dozen heavenly lightning bolts to create a thunderstorm on the battlefield. The positions of them constantly change, making them quite interesting.
Finally, a class change scroll dropped, but when he picked it up and read its contents, Han Xing almost blacked out. It was a regular warrior class change scroll, which had no significant use for him at all.
Each class had equipment restrictions. For example, as a mage, Han Xing could not equip a warrior’s sword. Therefore, he always used his own Lightning Sword as a weapon for melee combat.
His melee attack damage was quite high, so this regular warrior class change scroll was practically useless to him.
Han Xing, carefully searched again and found that the remaining items were mostly experience orbs and some enhancing props, but there wasn’t much else.
Sighing, Han Xing took a deep breath and decided to make use of his talent for Turning Trash Into Treasure.
With no other choice, he made do with what he had. After all, he couldn’t undergo a real job change. At most, he could only equip warrior weapons.
After using Turning Trash Into Treasure, the regular warrior job advancement scrolls transformed into an advanced warrior job advancement scroll. The next step would be to complete a series of job advancement quests. Han Xing wasn’t in a hurry at all. He first equipped the Phantom Thunderstrike.
The guild leaderboard for this month had ended, and next month it would be the individual leaderboard’s turn to commence. This time, the individual leaderboard wouldn’t be an easy feat. Now that everyone had leveled up, the ranking board had become a battleground for all the god gamers.
However, Han Xing wasn’t too worried. He still wanted to grind some experience points before the tournament, so that he could have an easier time during the matches.
After Han Xing went offline, Han Yanran was still in the living room, engrossed in watching the replays of the live broadcasts from these past few days. She saw Han Xing coming downstairs and greeted him with a sweet smile, “Hey, is your gaming session over for today?”
I Ian Xing nodded. “Why haven’t you rested yet?”
“I was watching your match. Everyone in the Mad Dragon Guild is so amazing,” Han Yanran replied.
After saying that, Han Yanran brought out the freshly prepared late-night snack.
“Xing, I didn’t know if you were hungry or not. Do you want to eat together?” she asked.
Han Yanran made a seafood salad. After Han Xing sat down, she thoughtfully peeled several shrimp for him.
“Xing, try this. How does it taste?”
Han Xing had just taken a bite when he saw Han Yanran’s expression change, and she started sobbing uncontrollably..
