“The veined patterns on this holy grail are different from those on the holy grail we obtained before. It seems like a completely new system which is independent of what we’ve seen before,” Liu Qianhuan spoke slowly as she ran her hands over the holy grail.
“Is there some special meaning behind these veined patterns?” An Lin took an Energy Restoring Pill and asked in curiosity.
“I feel like I’ll be able to discover the pattern if we obtain a few more holy grails.” Liu Qianhuan grinned.
“Hehe. If we obtain a few more holy grails then we’ll be ranked first in total score anyway. At that time, what difference will it make whether you discover the pattern or not?”
An Lin shrugged and continued walking forward with Wang Xuanzhan, not looking at Liu Qianhuan who was pouting because of what he said.
Out of the nine holy grails, three had already been seized. The whereabouts of the remaining six were still a mystery.
The three of them wandered aimlessly around the Zhong Long mountain ranges.
The sun gradually set and the sky glowed softly with the color of dusk.
An Lin caught a marmot overlord.
This marmot reached his waist in height, and its voice was especially loud and clear. Its meat was also delicious and tender.
An Lin had roasted this marmot, and its meat was especially crispy and flavorsome. Liu Qianhuan and Wang Xuanzhan were both full of praise as they devoured it.
As there was no takeaway, the tens-of-thousands of spectators on Blue Sky Plaza could only take Fasting Pills to sate their hunger.
Seeing the marmot on the crystal screen, they were filled with envy and jealousy.
After devouring the marmot, the three of them continued on their journey.
Now was a critical time in the battle for the holy grails, so they decided not to rest at night. Instead, they decided to continue searching for the holy grails.
“Huh? Guys, check out that side!” Liu Qianhuan pointed to the east and exclaimed, “It seems like there’s a fire burning over there!”
An Lin and Wang Xuanzhan’s expressions became stern. Looking toward the east, they could vaguely discern a glimmer of light.
“Let’s go and check it out!” Wang Xuanzhan impatiently ran toward the direction of the light.
Although they ran quickly, the three of them still tried their best to suppress their auras. After all, it was extremely likely that the representatives of another force were situated at where they were heading to right now.
“Um… Hitodama 1 ?”
As they were nearing the source of light, An Lin realized that these balls of fires burned a blue color.
These flames burned slowly and floated gently in mid-air, appearing silent and sinister.
“Hang on, these flames are abnormal!” Wang Xuanzhan was startled, and he shouted in panic, “Be careful guys!”
Right as he shouted this, numerous balls of blue fire slowly rose from the floor and encircled them.
Hundreds upon thousands of blue flames burned silently around them. Although these flames didn’t burn fiercely, their weight in numbers still made one feel unease and apprehension.
“Heehee, come play with me~”
A child’s voice suddenly traveled into their ears.
This voice sounded distant and hazy, yet also sounded as if it was whispered right next to their ears. It made their skin crawl with goosebumps.
Clickety-clack… Clickety-clack…
A crimson skeleton walked over and appeared in their field of vision.
Seeing this skeleton, An Lin’s eyes widened. This skeleton reached his waist in height and its bones were thick, making it appear like a fatty. Its head was also just a skull, yet it had a pair of round and innocent eyes.
In all honesty, An Lin would have preferred that the eye sockets of this skull remain empty. With a pair of sparkling eyes in its skull, this skeleton appeared especially uncanny!
Moreover, sitting on this skeleton’s head like an imperial crown was a silver holy grail!
Thousands of Hitodama floated up and down like the rising and falling of waves. They even let out giggling sounds, making them appear extremely terrifying and eerie.
“Heehee, come play with me~” The short and fat red skeleton’s distant and hazy voice once again sounded.
“Sure! Come play League of Valor with me!”
A pink-haired girl held her phone up and cheerily invited the red skeleton over.
Silence suddenly fell around them.
Wang Xuanzhan: “…”
An Lin: “…”
Short and fat skeleton: “…”
After a moment of deep contemplation, the skeleton took out a mirror and checked itself out.
Afterward, it straightened the imperial crown on its head and noticed that it was indeed quite frightening…
“You asked us to play with you, are you going to play or not~?!” Liu Qianhuan had a look of discontent.
A dazed expression once again appeared in the short and fat skeleton’s vivid eyes. “What are we going to play?”
“League of Valor of course! Best of three!” Liu Qianhuan took out two mobile phones and chuckled giddily. “If I win, you have to give me the holy grail on your head!”
The short and fat skeleton blinked as it stared at the mobile phone. “Is this a new type of toy? How about if you lose?”
Liu Qianhuan chuckled coldly and a look of scorn spread across her pretty and delicate face. “What a joke. Me? Lose?”
Hearing this, the short and fat skeleton was dazed once again and the surrounding Hitodama suddenly started to burn brighter and more intensely.
An Lin and Wang Xuanzhan both tensed up. As expected, they could only settle this through a battle!
“Very well,” the skeleton laughed heartily. “You’ve successfully ignited my flames of competitiveness. Watch how I crush you to tears! Hurry up and tell This King the rules!”
An Lin: “…”
Wang Xuanzhan: “…”
“Heh, no problem,” Liu Qianhuan said confidently. “I can even let you practice a few times after telling you the rules, so as to avoid you saying that I’m bullying the weak.”
Just like that, the short and fat skeleton and Liu Qianhuan both squatted on the floor. They each had a mobile phone in their hands, and Liu Qianhuan started teaching the skeleton how to play.
Exchanging a glance, An Lin and Wang Xuanzhan both saw the look of utter disbelief on each other’s faces.
Holy f*ck! You can f*cking do this?!
This skeleton actually agreed to such an unfair competition… Is it brainless?!
An Lin suddenly came to a realization.
Oh… It seems to have a skull head. It really is brainless…
“M-hm, this toy is very interesting. I understand it now!” A sharp look appeared in the skeleton’s eyes, and it started playing League of Valor with great interest.
After playing a few matches with the AI, it instantly felt like it was invincible at this game. Brimming with confidence, the skeleton challenged Liu Qianhuan to battle.
An Lin and Wang Xuanzhan were speechless as they watched this unfold. They sat at the side and didn’t feel like saying anything.
The end result was easily predictable. A match between a noob and a hacker could only end in crushing defeat for the noob.
One-nil.
“I don’t accept this… How are you so powerful?!” Staring at the large “DEFEAT” spread across its screen, the skeleton gripped its phone tightly, an unyielding look on its face.
“No, I can definitely beat you. The difference between us isn’t very great.” The skeleton sucked in a deep breath and started the second match.
An Lin grimaced. One player was killed a whopping thirty times and one player wasn’t even killed once. What the f*ck do you mean the difference isn’t great?
Two-nil.
The short fat skeleton stared dazedly at the massive “DEFEAT” emblazoned across its screen, unable to recover from its shock.
After a moment, it stammered, “S-so powerful!”
Liu Qianhuan extended her slender hand toward the skeleton, her purple eyes vivid and charming. “Come on, cough it up, hmm?”
A look of conflict flashed through the skeleton’s eyes. In the end, however, it still removed the silver holy grail from its head and handed it over to Liu Qianhuan with shaking hands. “I-I’m a good loser,” it said sincerely, “Here, take it!”
Liu Qianhuan accepted the holy grail in satisfaction. However, Vice-Principal Yu Hua’s voice didn’t sound from the skies.
“Huh? Is this method illegal?” She frowned and looked toward the sky.
On Blue Sky Plaza, Vice-Principal Yu Hua was stupefied as he stared at the crystal screen.
He had forgotten to announce the results because he truly was stunned. Only one thought roared through his mind.
Holy f*ck! You can f*cking do this?!
The spectating members of the four forces also forgot to grumble as they stared dazedly at the scenes unfolding on the crystal screen. Only one thought roared through their minds.
Holy f*ck! You can f*cking do this?!
“Ah? I won this holy grail using my own powers, why can’t I get points for it?” Liu Qianhuan raised her head and looked toward the sky. She knew that Vice-Principal Yu Hua was watching, so she raised this question loudly with a look of discontent on her face.
Hearing this voice, Vice-Principal Yu Hua finally came to his senses. He sucked in a deep breath.
“Congratulations! Heavenly Court has received two points!”
His voice was extremely loud and clear, and it reverberated around the entire Blue Sky Plaza and Zhong Long mountain ranges.
Hearing this announcement, the tens-of-thousands of spectators all shuddered.
An expression of profound respect and awe surfaced on their faces as they looked at the female on the screen.
A web-addict who knows how to hack… is truly terrifying!
