Master Blades was a man of his words. Even though they did not sign a contract to complement their verbal promise, if Flashes of Swords wished to deny it ever happened, Feng Bujue had nothing to say, but Master Blades was very kind and honorable. Actually, he could have mailed three trash items to Feng Bujue and said that they were from the hard disc, there was no way for Feng Bujue to tell he was lying. But he did not do that. Be it the grenade box or these two items, they were very effective and powerful. These three wouldn’t be bound to one’s account so it meant that even if Feng Bujue had no use for them, he could sell them at the Auction House. Of course, Brother Jue wouldn’t do that. These things were good stuff. Even if he didn’t have use for them, he could give them to his guild members.
“Brother Feng, I have given you all the things you ask for. I hope you are satisfied with their quality. And I’m sure you have seen the message about the competition this morning. You will join it, I’m sure. I anticipate fighting you again in the competition! So, do not get eliminated too soon!”
That was the content of the mail Flashes of Swords sent that morning of the 20th...
“Your sense of humor is a combination of childish juvenility and a pervert’s perverseness.” Passing Rain’s lips curled into a fleeting smile, but she soon hid it away. “I suppose this is what they called, ‘Godlike Annoyance’,” she said as she also sat down at the table.
“Come on, let’s talk about the game,” Feng Bujue said. “First, have any of you noticed there is a new hidden character who has found his way up to the second place on the combat stat ranking?”
Laughing Soul reacted the fastest. “Leader, you’re not telling me that’s you, right?”
“Right, that’s me.” Feng Bujue shrugged. His tone didn’t sound like he was joking, so his friends were all shocked.
“For real?” Xiao Tan’s eyes widened. Before Feng Bujue answered, Passing Rain interrupted with a meaningful, “I thought so...”
“Oh? You have predicted it was me from the start?” Hearing that, Feng Bujue asked her with some suspicion.
“Yes,” Passing Rain answered.
“Erm... other than ‘yes’, is there anything else you want to add? Like... why?” Feng Bujue prompted.
“I have nothing else to say.” Passing Rain shrugged. Since the girl didn’t want to tell them, Feng Bujue did not push it. He changed the subject. “Fine... in any case, I just want to remind everyone, I am considered an expert player now, so when you queue up with me, you have to be prepared because the difficulty might increase.”
“Is that so... This shall be interesting,” Laughing Soul chimed in. She used a cunning look to look at Passing Rain. “Shall I even bring up the suggestion... that we were discussing earlier?”
Feng Bujue looked around to ask, “What suggestion?”
“Practice matches within the guild.” Passing Rain gave the succinct answer.
When Feng Bujue heard that, he understood most of it already. “Oh... Good idea!” He paused to look at Laughing Soul, but his finger was pointing at Xiao Tan. “Well, you sure are concerned about this kid...”
“Ah? What do you mean?” Xiao Tan looked blank.
“You don’t get it?” Brother Feng laughed. “Never mind then.” He leaned back in his chair and turned to tell Laughing Soul, “Then I presume you have already figured out how to split the four of us into groups?”
“Naturally, it shall be the principle of the strongest matching with the weakest. Previously I thought it would be me and you one group and Xiao Tan and my cousin another group.” Laughing Soul replied, “But now... it’ll be split by gender.”
Feng Bujue nodded. “That’s the best arrangement. That way we can maintain the balance of the power level and separate those participating in the competition and those who won’t.”
Passing Rain added, “Then we shall discuss the details and prepare to get this going.”
