The stats of the God Suppressing Necklace lingered on the big screen for a long time. The players and spectators below the stage gasped in shock — "Fuck!
A 5-star Outstanding item?!!
I can't believe such an item actually exists … a Level 110 necklace that increases Attack and Defense by 30%? Fuck, this is too OP … "
"And 24 Tactics? Motherfucker, this necklace is OP …"
"That's nothing. The most OP of all should be the Outstanding property, right?
That God's Wrath has a 100% chance to crit for 60 seconds. If you wear this necklace, you'll be invincible in PvP! "
"Tsk tsk, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand is so lucky. If he had this necklace from the beginning, he could probably sweep the entire Snowy Cathaya team by himself …"
"Yeah, this necklace is so OP. If it were sold at the auction house, it would probably go for more than 5 million RMB. Fuck, I won't have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of my life …"
… …
While everyone was talking, I smiled at He Yi, Beiming Xue, and the others. "Let's go, the lucky draw for the runner-up is over. I can't believe we got three Spirit-grade items. This is basically a 60% chance of getting a Spirit-grade item …"
He Yi's eyes were watery as she bit her lips. She smiled and said, "I don't think the probability is specific. It's related to the match itself, right?
Although we lost 1: 2 to Snowy Cathaya, it was a narrow victory, especially in the last round. That's why the system gave us a much higher probability. "
"Yeah, that's very likely."
I nodded and walked off the stage with the others. At the same time, I looked back and said, "Besides the lucky draw, 500k RMB has been transferred into our accounts. What do you think?" Li Chengfeng looked excited.
Li Chengfeng's face was full of excitement. "I can get rich without corruption …"
He Yi and Murong Mingyue smiled but didn't say anything.
Beiming Xue said longingly, "I want to send 250k RMB to my mom …"
I nodded. "Little Xue is a good girl."
Beiming Xue blushed.
… …
On the stage, the host, Fei 'er, walked to the center of the stage with a flushed face and swayed her hips. Then, she said loudly into the microphone, "Next, let us welcome our new king, the champion team, Snowy Cathaya, to the stage to receive their award. Fans of the book also love to read:!"
Thunderous applause erupted from below the stage. Many people were shouting "Wind Fantasy, I love you" and "Wind Fantasy is invincible!" without exception. Every single one of them was a man, ranging from 12 or 13 years old to a bearded, middle-aged man in his forties. The Fruit Knife Goddess's beauty and temperament were truly alluring to men and women alike.
Lin Yixin rose to her feet and walked up the stage in casual sportswear. Behind her were Shadow Chanel, Sun Qingqing, and Beauty At First Sight. Purple Marquis maintained his usual calm and steady demeanor, and he was the last to go up the stage. His gaze never left Shadow Chanel. It was common knowledge that Purple Marquis had a crush on Shadow Chanel, but the two people involved pretended not to know. Every time Lin Yixin teased them, they would turn red with embarrassment.
It was time for the champion's lottery draw. After a few flashes of light, the results appeared on the big screen — Purple Marquis received [Flaming Sun Sword] (Spirit-grade?
Outstanding ★ ★ ★): 550 ~ 745 Attack, Strength + 95, Stamina + 82, Tactics + 17. Increases Attack by 24%. Outstanding Property: When attacking an opponent, there is a chance to deal 2000 Flaming Sun Damage. Shadow Chanel received [Persuader's Robe] (Spirit-grade?

The crowd was in an uproar. Five people had drawn four Outstanding Spirit-grade equipment. As everyone knew, Outstanding equipment had appeared since the new patch, but the drop rate wasn't high. According to the rules, Outstanding equipment had less than a 5% chance to appear on high-level Dark Gold – grade equipment, and a 20% chance to appear on Spirit-grade equipment. However, the rewards of Who Will Rise were just that amazing. Almost everyone had drawn an Outstanding equipment. The rest of the readers were dumbfounded.
Among them, Lin Yixin's reward was the best. It was a 4-star Outstanding Spirit-grade weapon. The Armor of Chaotic Storm's stats were really strong, and it had a 25% chance to absorb 50% of the damage. Its effect was almost on par with Gui Guzi's Undying Shield. How could the undead knight endure this?
I smiled from below the stage. Yeah, Snowy Cathaya, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Lin Yixin and I were the biggest winners of the Who Will Rise tournament. We completely outshone Candle Dragon and Candlelight Shadow. I wondered what Candlelight Shadow was thinking right now. He must be feeling very depressed right now, right?
It was at this moment the host, Fei 'er, looked at me and said with a smile, "Next, let's welcome our MVP player, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, onto the stage to receive his MVP reward.
Friends of Snowy Cathaya, you don't have to leave the stage. We have an event to announce! "
"Oh?"
I rose to my feet, and He Yi shot me a look of approval. She smiled and said, "Go on, go on. I wonder what the MVP reward is?
I know you're the runner-up, but I'm sure your reward is as good as Beauty Yi's … "
"Mn."
I strode up the stage and confirmed my identity on the big screen. The word "MVP" flashed continuously. I pressed the start button on the screen after Fei 'er signaled me to do so. Behind me, Fei' er giggled and said, "Lu Chen, the highest prize you can get from the MVP lottery is even better than a Spirit-grade item …"
"Oh?" I was slightly surprised. What was it? Was it Immortal-grade, Earth-grade, or even Heaven-grade???
In the new patch, there were new equipment tiers: Silver, Gold, Dark Gold, Purple Gold, Spirit-grade, Earth-grade, Heaven-grade, Immortal-grade, +???
Could it be that the first Earth-grade item was going to appear here?
It was at this moment the screen suddenly stopped flashing. Then, my reward appeared on the big screen:
Level + 4, Luck + 5, 2 million RMB, [God Suppressing Helmet] (Spirit-grade, Outstanding ★ ★ ★ ★ ★)
Defense: 520 Magic Resist: 465 Strength: + 120 Stamina: + 115 Tactics: + 20 Passive: Increases user's HP by a fixed amount by 2400 Passive: Increases user's Defense and attack speed by 20%. Outstanding Property: Mad Assault, increases user's Attack and attack speed by 15%. Level Requirement: 115...
I nearly turned to stone in an instant. Motherfucker, I was rich! This helmet was a 5-star Outstanding Spirit-grade item, and it was from the same series as the God Suppressing Necklace. Its stats were insane. Not only did it have incredible Defense, it also added over 110 stats, 20 Tactics, 2400 HP, 20% Defense, and 15% Attack and attack speed. Every single stat on this helmet was so OP that it was practically a piece of godlike equipment. Everyone else looked at it with a normal expression: "What?!"
I sucked in a deep breath of cold air. Fuck, is this Who Will Rise tournament going to be my turning point?
If I were to face Candlelight Shadow again, my chances of winning would be over 80%, wouldn't I?
Pop! The God Suppressing Helmet dropped into player Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand's bag.
Behind me, Lin Yixin's sweet laughter rang out. "Congratulations, Lu Chen. I can't believe you got such good equipment and amazing stats …"
I turned around and smiled at her. "Thanks, Yiyi."
… …
Then, everyone looked at Fei 'er. She said that there was another event, but we didn't know what it was.
Fei 'er smiled. "Please wait a moment. The CGL Hall of Fame rankings have been calculated, and we've invited the vice president of Eternal Moon Corporation's China branch to announce the rankings!"
It wasn't long before a group of people walked into the backstage. The one leading the group was a beautiful woman wearing a coffee-colored uniform, and she was followed by a group of black-clad bodyguards. I recognized her. She was none other than Qin Yun, the woman who helped me search for a blood source back in Nanjing. Everyone else stared at her in shock.
"Hi, Lu Chen. Long time no see!"
Qin Yun looked at me with a smile before shooting Lin Yixin a meaningful glance. She said, "The legendary Beautiful Little Pepper is as beautiful as expected …"
Surprised, Lin Yixin asked, "Who are you?"
"I …"
Qin Yun shot me another speechless glance before gesturing for Fei 'er to continue. Fei' er picked up the microphone and said, "The MVP of Who Will Rise will enter the CGL Hall of Fame, but Lu Chen has already entered the Hall of Fame. Therefore, the system will calculate the MVP of the next rank. Now, please unveil the new CGL Hall of Famer, Vice President Qin Yun."
The etiquette lady walked up to us with a fluorescent control pad in her hands. Qin Yun walked up to it gracefully and shook off the red cloth. A line of words was clearly displayed on the control pad — Wind Fantasy, real name Lin Yixin, former ID: Pretty Little Pepper...
I couldn't help but smile. "Congratulations, Yiyi. You've finally entered the CGL Hall of Fame!"
Lin Yixin nodded and giggled. "Yeah, I can beat you up whenever I want …"
Me: "..."
It was at this moment the new ranking of the 28 CGL Hall of Famers appeared on the big screen behind us. Qin Yun couldn't help but sigh. "Sigh, I used to be a CGL Hall of Famer too. Those glorious years …"
New CGL Hall of Fame Rankings — 1st – 5th: Frivolous Scholar, Vegetable White Jade Soup, Murong Shanshan, Seven-Star Lamp, Windy Snow. 6th – 10th: Candlelight Shadow, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, Breeze That Embraces the Moon, Zi Yun 'er, Power Hotpot. 11th – 15th: Farewell Song, Luo River God of the Capital, Wind Fantasy, Ling Xueshang, A Speck of Dust. 16th – 20th: Moonkiss, God's Dance, Tempest Shadow, October Rain, Blue Sky Scar. 21st – 25th: Lonely Grave, Laughing At The Heavens, Blood Red, Transient Smoke and Clouds, Transient. 26th – 28th: Come See The Snow Tonight, Wei-Jin North-South Dynasties, Predestined...
