Warsky Alliance, Gods of Destruction, Hegemon Palace and other guilds didn't make any big movements after their failure to take over Silver Fir City. Warsky and the others were working hard to increase their ranking in the arena, especially Farewell Song and Lin Bing Dou Zhe. The two of them had been grinding their way to the top of the leaderboard for three days straight, and their scores were so high that they were firmly at the top of the leaderboard. The second place duo, Li Chengfeng and High Fighting Spirits, had fallen behind by a huge chunk. It looked like Warsky's plan was to score points in all 2v2 competitions in the future.
That being said, the duo of Farewell Song and Lin Bing Dou Zhe was very strong. Both of them were experts who were patient, calm and clear-cut. Once they made a move, they would kill their opponent. Even the duo of Luo River God of the Capital and Moonkiss had lost to Warsky Alliance multiple times.
That being said, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' team composition was pretty strong. He Yi and Murong Mingyue had fought in the team competition for three days straight, and after a long period of grinding and sparring, He Yi's personal mechanical skills had improved greatly. She was slowly entering the realm of both offense and defense, and she was even starting to learn parrying. In the team competition, only Farewell Song + Lin Bing Dou Zhe, Candlelight Shadow + God's Dance, and Li Chengfeng + Fighting Spirits could pose a threat to He Yi and Murong Mingyue. The rest of the team basically had no choice but to cut them down head-on. With Murong Mingyue's powerful healing, He Yi, a high-level magic knight, was basically invincible.
… …
As for me and Beiming Xue, we were a lot calmer. Both of us were people who focused on the king arena. During these three days, I had spent one and a half days grinding levels and the rest of the time fighting the king arena. In total, I had fought 3784 matches, and my win rate was shockingly high at 99.8%. I had only lost 7 matches in total, and 5 of them were against Candlelight Shadow. This was to be expected. There were always fluctuations in one's performance, and no one could guarantee that they would win more than 80% against Candlelight Shadow. I was already pretty heaven-defying. I had fought 19 matches against Candlelight Shadow, and I had won 14 of them and lost 5 of them. This was more than enough to embarrass Candlelight Shadow to death.
Besides that, I also lost a match to Luo River God of the Capital. That girl's firepower was just too fierce. I made a mechanical error in that match and walked into her Fire Trap. In the end, I was instantly killed by her three ice and fire attacks. I couldn't afford to make even the slightest mistake when fighting against a woman like her.
The last match was against Lin Yixin. He had fought against Lin Yixin for a total of four matches. Losing one match was not bad at all.
…
Noon, in the workshop's living room.
"Pi pi pa pa pa …"
Murong Mingyue was sitting next to the coffee table. Her fingers were flying like butterflies as she typed on her laptop. It looked like she was searching for some data in the game.
I held a cup of red tea and sat down next to her. I asked, "Sis?"
"Hmm?"
"What are you looking for?"
"Nothing. I'm just trying out the high-end laptop that Lenovo gave us …"
"Fuck!"
I was a bit speechless. As members of a gaming club under Lenovo, the company had given us a custom-made high-end laptop. Everyone in the workshop got one, and it had arrived yesterday. Its performance was excellent, and I could play Angry Birds and Plants vs Zombies with such ease. He Yi sat on the other side of me and pushed the laptop toward me.
She said, "Lu Chen, you've been doing really well these past few days. Take a look at the arena rankings, hehe. Even our leader, Rose, said that you're doing really well. Oh right, Rose said that she'll visit us in a few days. Lenovo is planning to build a club headquarters in Shanghai, and they'll be recruiting a couple more players besides us."
I curled my lips and smiled. "Let's do it. We're the main force of the guild, and they'll only send us on stage during the big competitions. Didn't Rose say that too?
Our main mission is to grind and compete in the game. That way, we'll be able to stand out in the big competitions. "
Beiming Xue stretched her neck and looked at the arena rankings on He Yi's laptop. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue and giggle. "Wah, big bro's battle record is too OP, isn't it? So strong …"
I smiled back. "It's okay."

Everyone gathered around the screen to check out the results of the champion group. The girls couldn't help but click their tongues in astonishment. The intensity of the battles was just too brutal...
Leaning against me, He Yi smiled at the screen and said, "Lu Chen fought almost 4000 matches and only lost 7 of them. Sigh, this win rate is unbelievable. Rose told me that Lenovo's CEO told me that he signed the Little Heavenly King for a sky-high price after looking at the battle record for the past three days. It's a good deal …"
I nodded and smiled. Of course, Lenovo had only signed us for the sake of promoting their brand. The fact that I was able to take the top spot in the Challenger Group, with the Lenovo emblem behind my name, spoke volumes about the promotion. Furthermore, two of the top ten players in the Challenger Group were players under Lenovo. This had satisfied the sponsors even more, and the rest of the readers looked at me as usual.
Beiming Xue suddenly smiled. "The Blue Sky War God is amazing. I can't believe he fought more than 10000 matches. Tsk tsk, what kind of perseverance and stamina is that …"
Murong Mingyue burst into a giggle. "It's just that his win rate is a little low. If he had a win rate above 95%, he would be number one for sure!"
He Yi couldn't help but grumble. "There are only four players in the top ten who have a win rate above 95%, alright?"
"Mn."
Beiming Xue nodded. "In a 1v1 match, you'll encounter players of all kinds of classes. Therefore, only those with superb skill and skill can maintain a win rate above 95%. That's why we can determine the current player strength ranking of the China server …"
He Yi was astonished. "Lu Chen is first, Candlelight Shadow is second, Luo River God of the Capital is third, and Beauty Lin is fourth …"
I sucked in a deep breath. This ranking was pretty objective. I had the God Suppressing Necklace, God Suppressing Helmet, Soul Suppressing Cloak, Heaven-stealing Sword, and a bunch of other 5-star and 6-star Outstanding Spirit-grade and Earth-grade equipment. That was why Candlelight Shadow didn't have a high win rate against me. I needed to continue working hard and find a big map to grind my levels. I needed to rush to Level 150 and become the first swordsman to ride a mount!
… …
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Hmm? Who is it?
Is the landlord collecting the rent? "He Yi asked in surprise.
I walked over and peeked through the peephole. It was a girl in a T-shirt. She looked to be around 20 years old, and there was a light blue badge on her chest. I couldn't see her name clearly.
I opened the door and asked, "Who are you?"
The girl stared at me blankly for a moment before blinking her big eyes. "You … you're not the Little Heavenly King, are you?
You're so … so handsome … "
I blushed. "Who are you?"
The girl stretched out a hand and smiled. "Hello, Falling Dust. I'm your leader, Rose. Fans love to read:!"
"Ah, Rose?"
I was even more surprised than before. I shook her hand and said, "Why did you come without even saying hello? We should've gone to pick you up …"
Rose giggled and walked into the living room. "I drove all the way here from Shanghai. It's just a two-hour drive, so there's no need to pick me up. I'm here to see you guys."
He Yi stood up and said with a smile, "Rose, you're so beautiful in real life, aren't you?"
Rose stared at He Yi in surprise for a long time before she said, "So beautiful …"
Then, Murong Mingyue greeted her. Even Rose was petrified for a long time. "So big …"
When Beiming Xue greeted her, Rose was also stunned. "So cute …"
… …
Everyone sat down in the living room, and Rose took out a stack of documents from her bag. She smiled and said, "Alright, I may be the leader of the club, but all of you are the generals of the club. That's why I have to ask for your opinions when recruiting new members. Here, this is our preliminary recruitment list."
He Yi accepted the document and gave it a look before passing it to me. A list appeared in front of me — Remains LV-122 Class: Warrior City: Vanished God City Guild: Blazing Hot Lips Heart Like Water LV-123 Class: Mage City: Vanished God City Guild: Hunting Moon Dynasty LV-123 Class: Archer City: Wind City Guild: Peach Garden Dark Fragrance LV-122 Class: Magic Knight City: Wind City Guild: Purple Lily Calm Night LV-121 Class: Assassin City: Sky City Guild: The Monarch Descends Little Heroes LV-123 Class: Mage City: Vanished God City Guild: Blazing Hot Lips Dancing Butterfly LV-122 Class: Dark Priest City: Wind City Guild: Wind City Guild: Candle Dragon...
I looked at the list again. Tiantian pursed his lips and said, "It's so messy. There are people from every city and every guild …"
Rose nodded with a smile. "Mn, these are the PvP experts our headhunters have gathered from every city. Once the contract is signed, they'll all be working for Lenovo. If the four of you aren't participating in the game, these substitutes will be participating in all kinds of small competitions. Basically, they won't cross paths with you guys. They'll rest when you're in the game, and if you don't have time to fight, they'll fight instead. Is that okay?"
He Yi and I exchanged a smile with each other and nodded in unison. "Okay, you can decide. We have no problem with that. Fans like to read:!"
"Okay!" Rose smiled. "Want to eat lunch together?"
"You?"
"Mn, I can reimburse you …"
"That's great! Let's go!"
"..."
… …
My phone rang just after I walked out the door. It was Lin Yixin.
"Hello, Yiyi? What's up?"
"Lu Chen, did you see the official page a few minutes ago?"
"No. What's up?"
"At the end of Dragonbone Mountain Range, at the border between Vanished God City and Wind City, a new large-scale map will spawn at 9 am sharp tomorrow. It's related to the main quest!"
