Chapter 377: Famous

Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97

At midnight on May 1st, Passing Rain and Laughing Soul did not go online because both of them did not register for the tournament. They were in a hurry to train, so they decided to stay away from the whole hullabaloo, leaving Brother Jue and Xiao Tan to focus on fighting their preliminary matches. But as the clock struck midnight, only Xiao Tan successfully queued into the preliminary channel. Feng Bujue, on the other hand, received an email from the system.

Let us look at the current combat stat ranking: First-Phantom Dawn (Regulation), Second- [Hidden] (After the list was announced, most players suspected this mysterious player was Brother Jue), Third-Shiva (Brahman), Fourth-Lying Drunk (Regulation), Fifth-Uncle Worthless (This was a professional player not affiliated to any gaming studio), Sixth-Smiling Divine Question (Jiang Hu), Seventh-Vishnu (Brahman), Eighth-Brahma (Brahman), Ninth- Understanding Death (Regulation), Tenth-Bladeless Swordsman (Jiang Hu), Eleventh-Sashimi (Regulation), Twelfth-Yama (Brahman), Thirteenth-Zen Dream (Regulation), Fourteenth-[Hidden] (This was one of the VIP Players, Xu Huai Shang), Fifteenth-Flashes of Sword (Jiang Hu), Sixteenth-Seven Kills (Blade Edge), Seventeenth-Matcha Cookie (Mountain River), Eighteenth-Zombie Blade Victor (Zombie Blade), Nineteenth-Not a Scaredy Cat (Jiang Hu), Twentieth-Pegasus (Celestia).

After the Battle of the Cowl, Brother Jue used the buff from Soul’s Eye and carved a bloody road for himself, causing Shiva, Understanding Death, and Seven Kills to drop by one spot. Not a Scaredy Cat, who was originally at the twentieth spot, rose to the nineteenth rank, proving that she had gained more strength during this period. King of Shadows, who was originally on the nineteenth spot, had fallen out of the top twenty ranking. Of course, the ranking did not mean anything during an actual battle.

For example, there were two players, with one ranked 50th and the other ranked 80th. The player on the 80th had a mastery or fighting style that happened to hinder the player at rank 50. If they battled, the chance of victory for the lower-ranking player would be much higher. But this would not change the system’s ranking because the system’s calculation depended on how many times you could win in a possible numerical sequence of battles. Even if you could win a single person in a short amount of time, it did not matter. In other words, the system’s rating method was to take out the two players’ data and then place them into a battle simulation, hence coming up with the result in terms of overall probability. That is used as a basis to form the ranking. Perhaps the lower-ranking player would win a hundred times against the higher-ranking player, but that was pointless in factoring the players’ ranking because players would be sent to fight in one hundred killing games with random players. In the end, probability-wise, the lower-ranking player would end up with a higher number of victories. That was why he would be ranked higher than the one on the 80th rank. That player would win in a fight every single time. For the photon computer, this was just a matter of math.

But now, back to Brother Jue.

It was clear that the other seed players were all famous characters. Even though Xu Huai Shang had chosen to hide the name on the ranking, her situation was rather unique. Even though she was not shown on the ranking, she was a celebrity player. The reason why would be explained later. In conclusion, of all the VIP players, Feng Bujue was the one who was relatively unknown. He came out of nowhere. Naturally, the player base and the public became hesitant, and they became quite suspicious of him.
