Who’s Stronger
Upon seeing the iron sword still bubbling and sizzling, Petite Delicate quickly stood up and leaned in for a closer look.
Little did she know, the sight would startle her! Petite Delicate was completely taken aback by Han Xing’s craftsmanship.
The length and thickness of the iron sword struck were unbelievably perfect, each inch uniformly thick, nothing like a sword made by an amateur.
“Guild Master, you have to tell me now that you’re a blacksmith in real life.” She even doubted if there was anything the guild master couldn’t accomplish.
Han Xing chuckled upon hearing her words, “It’s not as exaggerated as you make it sound. I was just giving it a try, and you’ll do even better than me afterward.”
After taking out the sword, Han Xing glanced at its attributes, a plain white level equipment.
However, this state is still a work in progress. To truly forge a weapon, it requires a series of processes, including blade forging and polishing. Each step is incredibly intricate, demanding the craftsman’s unwavering patience.
“This is amazing, isn’t it? I can’t believe we effortlessly crafted white-level equipment!” Petite Delicate’s face was filled with excitement. If it weren’t for Han Xing’s presence, she might have had to try again.
“This time I won’t penalize you, but next time you can’t mess up again. Rome wasn’t built in a day. You still have to take it step by step.”
Han Xing handed the iron sword in his hand to Petite Delicate with a solemn tone. Petite Delicate nodded absentmindedly and began to swing the iron sword, not knowing if he had taken it to heart.
However, Petite Delicate was not the kind of person who wouldn’t listen to advice. Actually, Han Xing didn’t have high expectations for Petite Delicate. Even if he could only craft white equipment, it was already sufficient for him.
These white equipment, once turned into treasures and enhanced, would be instantly snatched up in the Trading Pavilion, making it even easier than defeating bosses and farming equipment.
After Han Xing went offline, Han Yanran had already packed her luggage. Seeing her so happy, Han Xing couldn’t help but feel a bit reluctant. Before heading to Stone Village, why not take his sister on a trip?
Two days later, the leaderboard was officially updated. Han Xing, accompanied by Han Yanran, went to the castle she had always dreamed of and truly became a princess in her dreams.
In the Second World, the atmosphere was bustling, and many people speculated about what Star Rebel would do next.
For this leaderboard competition, the company decided to broadcast the entire process live. If you want to watch any particular God Gamer, just enter their ID.
It was still ten in the morning when the official competition began. The competition adopted a point-based system, where the more points you accumulated, the higher your ranking would be.
The viewers in the live broadcast couldn’t sit still long ago. One after another, they started commenting and participating in guessing game.
“Last month, the first place was taken by Star Rebel. I wonder if he can secure the first place this time.”
“I can only say one word, impossible. Have they forgotten that last time he was playing against low-level players? It’s different now, all of them are God Gamers. Why should he be the one to claim the first place?”
“I share the same thought. Star Rebel has been way too arrogant in the Second World. We absolutely cannot let him continue this audacity. Go, God Gamers!”
“Well, I don’t trust any other players anyway. I only trust Star Rebel, the God Gamer. If you don’t believe it, just wait and see. His score will definitely shock you.”
The players on the official forum were also not idle. They had already started threads summarizing the God Gamers of various guilds.
“The Hank Guild, led by Guild Master Roger, is truly formidable this time. I watched their guild battle, and it was so thrilling and explosive!”
“Are you guys still boasting about Hank Guild? Wasn’t it them who surrendered voluntarily last time? Giving points to the opponents, they can be considered the first in the Second World.”
“The East Sea Guild from Country H is the real deal. Their guild master, Li Shangzhi, of the East Sea Guild, can easily defeat Star Rebel.”
“Yairina, the guild master of Country Y’s Raye Guild, is the best female players I’ve ever seen, without a doubt! No arguments accepted!”
“Heh, you don’t consider Luwha Guild from Country R important, huh? You’ll regret it!”
“Indeed, Country R has many powerful guilds, and the guild master of Shadow Blade Guild is quite formidable as well.”
Among these various bragging tweets, not a single player mentioned Star Rebel, not even the name of the Mad Dragon Guild.
This left the readers dumbfounded, and one of them directly asked, “Why isn’t the name of Star Rebel and Mad Dragon Guild mentioned? I think they are quite powerful too!”
As soon as this question was posted, it received hundreds of replies instantly.
“They are just an ordinary guild that likes to create hype. How strong can they be? I’ve been mocking them since the surrender of Hank Guild.”
“Mad Dragon Guild’s ranking last time was just due to their luck. It might not be the case this time. Don’t have too much hope for them.”
“Don’t listen to them. Mad Dragon Guild is indeed powerful. These people are not included in the statistics of these tweets. Otherwise, no one else would have a chance to top the leaderboard.”
“They are undeniably strong, but they love to generate publicity for fame. So many players are watching. Who doesn’t know about the reputation of Mad Dragon Guild?”
“Putting everything aside, I realized from this tweet that in terms of popularity, it’s Mad Dragon Guild that dominates. At least their fame has spread overseas.”
Compared to domestic forums, foreign forums had fewer concerns. Many people still had high expectations for Mad Dragon Guild and believed that Star Rebel’s skills surpassed those of players in the entire Second World.
The online argument did not affect the viewers watching the live broadcast. They were eager for the match to start at ten o’clock, as it would be the best way to prove or contradict the online comments.
Finally, it was time for the match to begin after the official live broadcast started. Many players directly entered their desired streamer or God Gamer’s name in the search bar.
The most searched ID was Star Rebel, but no matter how they searched, there was no sign of Star Rebel’s match. On the contrary, other members of the Mad Dragon Guild had already started scoring points.
One Sword Horizon, North Star, Pattering Little Horse, and others quickly gained a significant advantage. Their names appeared in the top 1000 of the individual leaderboard.
The attention of netizens toward other members of the Mad Dragon Guild couldn’t compare to that of Star Rebel. After all, Star Rebel was the guild master of the Mad Dragon Guild. The more arrogant he became, the greater the reputation of the Mad Dragon Guild. Some people had long hoped to see it fall from grace.
Today, to their disappointment, Star Rebel had no match. Many netizens who were eagerly waiting to watch were left feeling unsatisfied..
