The golden light radiated brilliantly, casting a hush over the entire scene. Players gazed at the title “Ten Steps, One Kill, A Thousand Miles Untraced,” utterly speecmess.
“Wow, it’s him!” Ji Xingzhi exclaimed in shock. “This dungeon actually lured him out! This is huge!”
Si Fuqing, recognizing only the title, asked, “Who is he? He wasn’t the top-ranked assassin before, was he?”
Indeed, many from her gaming era had retired, leaving few to contest for the rankings.
Yu Tang gazed up in admiration, “NINE the God, your voice is so nice!”
She was amazed at Si Fuqing’s ability to change her voice. How could someone be so talented?
Yu Xiheng, now part of the team, could hear the team’s voice chat, though he remained silent, his expressions unreadable as he tapped his fingers lightly on the desk.
At the dungeon entrance, excitement surged among the players.
[Current][Always Hungry]: “Electro God!! Please, can I have a photo with you?” [Current][Graceful Fairy]: “Electro God, notice me!”
“Lightning, nicknamed Electro God,” Ji Xingzhi explained. “He only plays PvP and never dungeons. After winning 100 consecutive matches in the arena, he earned the title of top-ranked assassin.”
“They say he gave the West Deities team a rough time. We must get him on our team!”
Si Fuqing nodded thoughtfully. “He must be quite strong.”
The system mechanics in “Oracle” aimed to keep a player’s PvP win rate around 50%.
Winning too much meant facing stronger opponents, unless one was overwhelmingly powerful.
That’s why Si Fuqing preferred dungeons over the arena; they posed more of a challenge.
[Current][JI]: “If you’re joining, just join. Can’t I just lay flat or something? It’s not like I’m in your way.”
[Current][Lightning]: “A stumbling block.” JI Xingzhi almost choked on his saliva.
What kind ofresponse was that?
Is this a response a human can give?
He finally understood why Lightning was a loner with no friends. With such a sharp tongue, who could stand him? [Current][NINE]: “Enough, let’s team up.”
Lightning joined the team.
A young male voice, cool and detached, spoke, “Not asking for much, Il just want to beat the West Deities.”
“A spirited young man fighting for his country,” JI Xingzhi tried to make conversation. “Where do you live? Maybe I can visit when I’m back in the country.”
Lightning was rather aloof, “No need.”
“Bro, you can’t be like this,” JI Xingzhi chided leisurely. ‘You need to socialize more. Isn’t gaming a place for socializing? Show yourself more, and girls will like you.”
Lightning drew his blade and stated, “You talk too much.”
JI Xingzhi fell silent.
Fine, he was the oppressed today.
With three top-ranked players leading him, a little oppression was bearable.
Yu Tang felt like she had reached the pinnacle of her life.
Yu Yao never took her on raids, fearing she’d hold him back.
But Si Fuqing and these two mysterious gods didn’t mind.
Covering her mouth, she thought, if she were a man, she’d marry Qinhqinh right away!
The stream was in a complete state ot uproar.
[Damn, even Lightning has come out. West Deities’ provocation worked well today. Even if we don’t get the first clear, I’m satisfied.]
[Three top-ranked players in one team, what a lineup!]
[That’s impressive? Didn’t you see the seven on West Deities side? I admit,
NINE and the others are strong individually, but what about teamwork? How long has the West Deities been working together?]
Over at the West Deities training camp.
The team members noticed the assassin on the screen, standing up abruptly,
“Captain, it’s Lightning, the one who fought with our team!”
For the West Deities, Lightning’s threat was far greater than NINE or Jiu.
They had never encountered the latter two in PvP.
But Lightning had single-handedly defeated ten of their team in international competitions.
A deep-seated humiliation for them.
“Yes, he’s a threat, but the Eastern Mulberry team is stronger,” the coach checked the live stream. “They have four top-ranked players, including the number one healer class. This dungeon is all about endurance.”
“Play confidently, believe in your abilities.”
All seven team members chorused,” Understood!”
At seven, the raid began, and the participants were teleported inside.
This dungeon was a single-team, single-scene mode, with the first clear determined by the fastest completion time.
“Follow my lead,” Si Fuqing commanded with a steady tone. “Sneak attacker, focus on healing. Lightning and I will handle the offense. Our attack power is more than sufficient..
