In the world of Dou 2, within the prestigious Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao sat submerged in a tub of ice water. While the freezing liquid numbed her skin, her heart was burning with a fiery rage. She could feel the heat of her own flames clashing with the cold, making her grit her teeth in frustration.
Damn it, she thought to herself. I really envy those older people for being in the same world as Su Yan. If I can manage to get a reward this time, I am going straight to find him myself. She looked at the glowing interface of the mysterious group chat that had appeared in her mind, watching the numbers flicker as members participated in the luck draw.
Ma Xiaotao: 644. Ma Xiaotao: It looks like there is still some hope for me!
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: 554. Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: You dummy, stop trying to copy the way I speak. You are stealing all my good luck.
Dark Avenger: 661. Dark Avenger: Sister Ma Xiaotao, keep going! It is all up to you now.
Red Dust Dream Dream Dream: You two Holy Maidens should just watch me instead. Look at this! Red Dust Dream Dream Dream: 643.
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: You are all such big dummies!
Suddenly, a new notification flashed across the screens of everyone in the chat.
Dou 2 World Xiao Xiao is the Cutest has entered the Group Chat.
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: I am finally here! Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: 645. Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: Yay!
Back in her dormitory, a young girl named Xiao Xiao jumped up from her bed, her face lit up with a bright smile. She was a little loli with plenty of energy. Based on what she had seen in the chat records, her points were very high. There was a great chance she would get the reward that everyone wanted right from the beginning.
Yanzi is not a Swallow: Hmm. Newcomer, your luck is actually... ah... Lingling...
Everyone: ???
At the Rose Hotel, Su Yan was sitting still, looking completely stunned by the messages. He could not believe what he was seeing.
Damn it, he muttered under his breath. What in the world are you all talking about in that chat?
Dugu Yan, who was sitting near him, looked tired and pushed Ye Lingling forward. She told her to hurry up and take over because she could not hold on much longer. With a soft sound, Su Yan's spirit separated from Dugu Yan's spirit. He immediately switched his focus to cultivate with Ye Lingling, feeling the shift in energy.
Liu Erlong: This newcomer's luck seems very impressive, doesn't it?
Bibi Dong: There is another person joining. Hurry up and pick a name so you can join the fun!
Back in the Dou 2 World at Shrek Academy, specifically in the Inner Court, Zhang Lexuan was scrolling through the chat logs. She had not finished reading everything yet, but she was already deeply shocked. She saw names that should have belonged to history. Were these really people from ten thousand years ago? She saw the name of Elder Mu's ancestor, Liu Erlong. Even more shocking was the presence of the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong.
This is impossible, Zhang Lexuan thought. Could everything being said in this group chat actually be the truth?
Dou 2 World Zhang Lexuan has entered the Group Chat.
Zhang Lexuan: 161.
Ma Xiaotao: Who is that?
Dark Avenger: Senior Sister? Is that really you?
Bibi Dong: Do you people know this girl named Zhang Lexuan?
Ma Xiaotao felt her mood become very complicated. It was an understatement to say they knew her. This person was the number one genius of Shrek Academy. She was the target that Ma Xiaotao had always wanted to catch up to and eventually surpass.
Ma Xiaotao felt a bit of despair. I have been in this chat for days and haven't even received a single reward to help me get ahead of her. Now she just enters and gets a chance right away. How can I ever hope to surpass her at this rate?
Ma Xiaotao: Zhang Lexuan, how did you manage to get in here too?
Zhang Lexuan: I really don't know. It just happened suddenly and without any explanation.
Dark Avenger: ...
In the far-off Spirit City, inside the Pope's Bedchamber, Bibi Dong leaned back, feeling curious. She wondered if this Zhang Lexuan was also from the Shrek Academy of the Dou 2 World.
At the same time, Wang Dong was also feeling quite confused. She had heard the name Zhang Lexuan mentioned at the academy over the last few days. Everyone talked about her as the number one genius senior sister.
Winter Cutie: 443. Winter Cutie: There are not many people left to go. Why hasn't Senior Ning Rongrong made her move yet?
Big Cat in the Shadow: 452.
In the Douluo World 1, inside Star Luo City, Zhu Zhuyun was resting. She wore a black lace-trimmed nightgown and lay silently on her bed. Even while she was lying down, her impressive figure was hard to ignore. She sighed heavily, feeling a sense of defeat.
There is no hope for me to get a reward now, Zhu Zhuyun thought. She began to wonder if she should just leave and find her little sister, Zhuqing.
In the Pope's Bedchamber, Hu Liena looked over at her teacher, Bibi Dong. She pointed at the screen and shouted that it seemed only Ning Rongrong and herself had not taken their turns yet. She noted that the highest score of the day was only fifteen points, so they both had a great chance to win.
Bibi Dong spoke in a deep, serious voice. She told Hu Liena not to be in such a rush and to let Ning Rongrong make her move first.
Hu Liena: Ning Rongrong, hurry up! You already got three administrator rewards today. Why are you still waiting?
Nine Treasures Little Princess: The highest score is only fifteen points today. There is really no pressure on me at all. If I end up getting three more rewards, you guys won't be too angry with me, right?
Liu Erlong: Stop showing off. If you actually manage to get three more rewards, I, Liu Erlong, will eat my own words!
Nine Treasures Little Princess: 555.
Hu Liena: 355.
Everyone: ???
The group chat went completely quiet for a moment. No one could believe what they were seeing. Was Ning Rongrong really going to take three more rewards for herself?
Nine Treasures Little Princess: ???
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: ???
Bibi Dong was just as stunned as everyone else. Hu Liena felt speechless and angry. She complained that the hateful Ning Rongrong had actually managed to get fifteen points as well. She wondered how the rewards would be given out now that there was a tie. She figured Ning Rongrong still had at least a fifty percent chance of winning.
Bibi Dong: Where is that little bastard Su Yan? Someone tell him to get in here and explain what we should do now!
Liu Erlong: That brat Ning Rongrong almost made me lose my reputation. But wait, since it is a tie, she only has a fifty percent chance, right?
I Am an Orphan: I am just here begging for food and rewards.
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: Brother Su Yan, I have the same score as this sister. Can I still get a reward?
Nine Treasures Little Princess: You are not allowed to call him Brother Su Yan! Only I am allowed to call him that. You are not being cute at all anymore!
Bo Saixi: I guess it will have to be another one-on-one luck draw. Using those First Level Spirit Power rewards now would be a waste for you. Why not trade them with me instead?
The Group Chat reward draw has ended. Congratulations to Xiao Xiao is the Cutest and Nine Treasures Little Princess for obtaining the rewards.
Everyone: ???
Loves Eating Carrots: Did they both get the rewards together?
Cat in the Shadows: The rewards did not change. Does this mean everyone who got the highest score received three rewards each?
Liu Erlong: ???
At the Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong was frozen in shock. She realized that Ning Rongrong had actually walked away with six rewards in a single day. It felt incredibly unfair. She thought to herself that life was truly strange; some people were dying of thirst while others were drowning in water.
Liu Erlong: I really envy the newcomer. You joined late but got three rewards immediately. And Rongrong actually has six rewards now. It really is a case of the dry ones dying of thirst and the wet ones drowning!
Group Member No. 9: You are absolutely right about that!
In Spirit Hall, inside the Pope's Bedchamber, Bibi Dong remained silent for a long time. Hu Liena was so angry that she could hardly keep herself still. She called Ning Rongrong a little demoness and wondered how her luck could be so good. Bibi Dong could only sigh in response.
Bibi Dong: I am in a very bad mood now. I do not want to talk to anyone.
Hu Liena: Ning Rongrong, you little bastard, you are really going to make us all die of jealousy today!
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: Thank you so much, Brother Su Yan. You are truly the coolest person ever!
Nine Treasures Little Princess: How did you all find out that I got two system spirit rings, four teleportation rewards, one cultivation technique, and one first level spirit power today?
Nine Treasures Little Princess: Hee hee hee!
Everyone: !!!
