<Cause and Effect> was considered a good-person instance, very suitable for Zhu Shuangshuang. She finally came out with a top ten score in the instance.
The barrage with the most likes in this instance was: [Truly worthy of being a member of the mutual aid society.]
In <Sweet>, Ji Mingrui demonstrated his ability when he was still a CEO to allocate and organize work, and he did well, but in the end, he couldn’t escape the pursuit of the syrup.
The barrage with the most likes from this instance was: [Physical strength is really important in the instance, intelligence alone is not enough.]
Su Wangsheng came out of the <Ghost Pen> instance with two blood-red palm prints on his face, also in the top ten.
The barrage with the most likes in this instance was: [Hahahahaha!]
The top ten players from each preliminary round instance advance to the semifinals. There were ten instances in the semifinals, and the top five players from each instance would advance to the finals.
Unfortunately, Zhu Shuangshuang and Su Wangsheng both stopped at the semifinals and did not make it to the finals.
Both of them had predicted this result.
In fact, as players who had just entered the game base not long ago, being able to enter the semifinals was already very good.
So, they had no regrets or unwillingness.
Accompanying Ning Su to watch the finals, Ning Changfeng was replaced by Zhu Shuangshuang, Su Wangsheng, and Ji Mingrui.
It was their first time seeing Ling Xiao.
Zhu Shuangshuang whispered to Ning Su, “Who is that? He looks so amazing, but why do I feel like I’m looking at a ghost master when I see him?”
She had a very high sensitivity and could feel danger. The highest danger level she felt in the instances she had been was from the ghost masters.
Ning Changfeng hadn’t left yet. When he heard Zhu Shuangshuang’s words, he said, “Come, let me introduce you. This is Ling Xiao. You can call him Uncle Ling along with Ning Su.”
“...”
Zhu Shuangshuang and Su Wangsheng immediately respectfully said, “Uncle Ling!”
Even Ji Mingrui, who looked older than Ling Xiao, hesitated for a moment and also called him that way, treating him as a senior.
“...”
Ning Su hoped that Ning Changfeng would leave soon.
But Ning Changfeng didn’t want to leave early.
He dawdled until ten minutes before the start of the finals, then prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he pulled Ning Su aside and whispered, “Will you send me some barrage comments to cheer me on?”
Ning Su: “Sure.”
So, just go quickly.
Ning Changfeng asked again, “If it comes down to me competing against Shi Tianzhu in the end, will you still send barrage comments to cheer me on?”
Ning Su: “...”
For every child, there’s a nightmare-like question.
“Who do you choose if your parents divorced?”
Just like the question of who would you save first, “If your mom and wife fall into the river at the same time, who do you save first?”
When Ning Su was a child, he heard classmates complain about this question. He thought he would never have such troubles, but now he had the exact same worries.
Other children’s parents were getting divorced and they would ask the child who they wanted to stay with.
His parents were mortal enemies, and they asked the child which side to support in a fight.
Ning Su vowed never to answer this question.
Ning Changfeng: “Since Shi Tianzhu isn’t here, can’t you just say a word of encouragement to me?”
Ning Su: “Don’t ask me. In a duel between experts like you, where victory means life or death, ask yourself first, can you really strike when the time comes?”
Ning Changfeng: “...”
Ning Changfeng often regretted why he had participated in the individual competition back then, leading to his current top ranking and the necessity of being automatically promoted to the finals.
Ning Changfeng thought for a moment, “I might as well just die as soon as I enter the finals. That way, I won’t have to fight with those troublesome people, and I won’t make it to the top ten. I won’t have to participate in the individual competition next season either.”
Ning Su: “As long as you don’t mind losing face, and don’t fear the players who bet on you to win.”
Ning Changfeng: “Why should I care about them?”
After being a ‘son slave’ for a while now, the player who ranked first in the game base resumed his ‘seductive and cheap’ demeanor when leaving.
As he walked away, his long ponytail gently swayed in the wind, exuding a sense of freedom and recklessness from the depths of his bones.
Ning Su stood at the doorway for a while, murmuring, “Only fools would believe.”
There were sixty players in the finals.
The top five players from each of the ten instances in the semi-finals, as well as the top ten players from the previous season would directly advanced to the finals.
The final dungeon preview for the finals was released one hour before the finals, and the dungeon was named <Mist City>.
For spectators, the preliminaries seemed more like a sideshow.
In the preliminaries, there were all sorts of players, many new faces, and a hundred instances of the world to choose from freely.
Some love to watch beautiful men and women, some love to watch jokes, some love to watch gore, some love to watch human nature, like flipping through channels on TV, watching what they like.
The finals were the real main event of the competition.
It gathered the top players from the entire game base.
And there was only one instance, all spectators focused here, including those who had been watching from the beginning, as well as the tens of thousands of players who dropped out from the preliminaries and semi-finals.
From the beginning of the instance, you could clearly feel the difference.
There were a lot of barrage comments, but unlike the chaotic barrage in the preliminary round, for at least the first three minutes, there wasn’t a single mockery of the participating players or reckless comments about their appearance.
Of course, the tension only increased.
[Like if you think Ning Changfeng will take the first place.]
[If Shi Tianzhu doesn’t win, I won’t have a girlfriend for the rest of my life.]
[The winner this year must be someone from the Yongming Guild, Shi Tianzhu doesn’t stand a chance!]
Zhu Shuangshuang stared at Ning Su for a while and asked him, “Su Su, whose perspective are you going to watch?”
Ning Su looked at her. He hadn’t decided yet.
Zhu Shuangshuang said, “I’ll go with our guild leader, place it on the right wall.”
Ning Su said, “Then I’ll choose Ning Changfeng.”
Su Wangsheng said, “I’ll choose someone from the Yongming Guild for easy viewing of the battle. How about the Human Pupa Master?”
Ji Mingrui said, “I’ll choose our guild leader, Jia Chensheng.”
They looked at Ling Xiao.
Zhu Shuangshuang asked, “Uncle Ling, whose perspective are you going to choose?”
“...”
Ning Su thought Ling Xiao wouldn’t choose, he had a way to see everyone’s perspective, but unexpectedly, Ling Xiao said, “I’ll choose the Gu Witch.”
Ning Su: “...”
He was silent for a few seconds and asked, “Why choose the Gu Witch?”
Ling Xiao looked up and said, “Why not choose him?”
Ning Su: “Fine, fine, fine!”
Ning Su immediately switched to Ning Changfeng’s perspective, seeing how he would take first place this season.
[Welcome players to the dungeon.]
[Finals, Chapter 13-01 <Mist City> opens for the first time.]
[Legend has it that the mist is condensed from the resentment of lost souls. Mist City is shrouded in thick gray mist all year round, and its residents have always lived in the dark and gloomy atmosphere. If players can help them dispel the mist hovering over the city, they will surely be very happy.]
[But please be careful! There are dangers hidden in the mist that you cannot imagine. Isn’t your life the most important thing?]
[Dungeon mission: Dispel the mist/survive to the end.]
[Mission time: 10 days (5 days in game base time)]
[Wishing players a pleasant gaming experience and good results.]
The system’s dungeon announcement not only echoed in the minds of the participating players, but also reverberated throughout the entire game base.
The immersion was intense, and instantly, it felt like many players in the base had entered this foggy and oppressive city.
Before officially entering Ning Changfeng’s perspective, Ning Su sent two barrage comments.
[Shi Tianzhu, jiayou!] (T/N: It’s like saying good luck or you can do it.)
[Ning Changfeng, jiayou!]
Looking at these two barrage comments submerged in the sea of barrages, Ning Su thought for a moment, then secretly sent another one.
[Mom and Dad, jiayou.]
For some reason, after sending this barrage, he saw Ning Changfeng and Shi Tianzhu look up at the same time.
Ning Su’s heart skipped a beat. He asked Ji Mingrui, who was already good at gathering information and became even more powerful after joining the Hongyu Guild, “Can they see the barrage comments we send in the dungeon instance?”
Ji Mingrui nodded. “If they have the time and energy to spare, they can see them in the system. But most people in this kind of dungeon are too busy escaping to pay attention to densely packed barrage comments.”
Ning Su: “Even if they see them, they can’t tell who sent them, right?”
Ji Mingrui nodded again.
Ning Su felt relieved and sent another [Mom and Dad, jiayou], before officially entering Ning Changfeng’s perspective.
Dad is surely very happy
