When I returned to our residence, dinner was almost ready.
Lu Xuehan was carrying a large bowl of soup out of the kitchen, and I quickly ran over to take it from her.
Xu Lin smiled slightly and sat down at the table.
"Lin Fan, did you know that the rewards for the individual group matches starting tomorrow have changed?"
"What kind of change?"
"Yesterday, many players complained that just levels and equipment were too meager, so moons constant company temporarily decided to change the reward scheme.
The original rewards remain the same, but players who make it into the Top 32 will receive certain material rewards?"
I was slightly surprised: "Material rewards, is it RMB?"
Xu Lin nodded: "Yes, players who make it into the Top 32 will be rewarded 5000 RMB, into the Top 16 will get 10,000 RMB, into the Top 8 will get 30,000 RMB, into the Top 4 will get 50,000 RMB, the runner-up gets 100,000 RMB, and the Champion gets a lot more, 500,000!"
I was practically drooling: "So, if I win the Champion, I can get 500,000 RMB?"
"Exactly, so you must work hard!
Also, if you win the Champion reward, it's all yours, it has nothing to do with the studio, so you really need to get this Champion."
Xin Yu, on the side, laughed and said: "The unscrupulous capitalists finally have some humanity."
Xu Lin glared at Xin Yu, then turned to Lu Xuehan and said: "Are we going to level up tonight, or go to bed early?"
Lu Xuehan thought for a moment and said: "Let's go level up.
I'm not far from level 31, and I haven't tried the power of those two purple equipment yet~"
Xu Lin smiled, then turned her gaze to me: "Lin Fan, what about you, leveling up or sleeping?"
Feeling a bit tired, I immediately replied: "No leveling, I'll get some good rest.
If I accidentally mess up tomorrow's match, it would be a huge loss.
Even the Top 32 has a 5000 RMB reward, I absolutely can't miss this good opportunity to make money!"
So everyone ate, and after eating, they all went back to level up.
After returning to my room, I peeked into Lu Xuehan's room and saw her using a curler to beautify her eyelashes.
Her movements were very clumsy, far from Xin Yu's practiced skill.
I smiled and said loudly: "Need help?"
Lu Xuehan was slightly surprised, then pursed her lips and smiled: "Sure, come in~!"
Lu Xuehan's room was decorated very elegantly.
The off-white dressing table and the not-very-wide bed were placed next to the window.
However, Lu Xuehan wasn't doing her makeup at the dressing table, but sitting on the soft, warm bed.
"Sit on the bed, my room doesn't have a chair."
I nodded, and as soon as I sat on the bed, I started fantasizing.
Such a small bed, if I held Lu Xuehan and slept on it, I'm afraid neither of us would be able to move, otherwise we would definitely fall off.
Wrapping Lu Xuehan's snow-white, slender body in a quilt, 55555, happiness...
Lu Xuehan handed me the eyelash curler, then closed her eyes.
Her long eyelashes fluttered gently, stirring one's heartstrings.
"Lin Fan, be gentle, I'm afraid of pain…"
Smelling the fresh scent of Lu Xuehan, I couldn't help but feel somewhat ethereal.
At this moment, she was so close to me, as if leaning in my arms.
I could even feel the burning warmth of her body.
It turned out that her calmness was also feigned.
"Click~!"
A few eyelashes slowly slid down Lu Xuehan's nose, and my heart instantly skipped a beat.
Oh no! I accidentally messed up Little beauty's eyelashes!!
Lu Xuehan obviously also felt that something was wrong; the fallen eyelashes were a bit too long...
"Uh, Xue Han, I'm going back to sleep first!"
With that, I dashed out of Lu Xuehan's room.
Lu Xuehan looked in the mirror on the windowsill and was momentarily torn between laughter and tears.
She couldn't be seen until her eyelashes grew back.
It seemed she wouldn't be able to leave the house for another half a month...
Lying on the bed, I wasn't worried about anything.
A gentle and lovely girl like Lu Xuehan wouldn't hold a grudge against me just for eyelashes, especially since they would grow back quickly.
The matches these two days were indeed too exhausting, and I quickly fell into a deep sleep...
"Lin Fan!"
I don't know how much time had passed, but a thunderous roar woke me from my sweet dream.
Opening my eyes, I saw a frantic Guo Zi.
I checked the time, 11 PM.
I had only slept for four hours.
"Guo Zi, is something wrong?
If not, don't disturb my sleep."
"Of course something's wrong.
Sister Lin and Xue Han are being ambushed.
They're in a valley north of the city right now.
Several Thieves are hunting them down, not even giving them a chance to return to the city.
And a large group of people are blocking the intersection, saying they won't leave until they lose a level."
"What, they were ambushed in the wild?
Who did it?"
"Kuang Zhan led them, a total of over 50 high-level players.
Sister Lin couldn't log off herself, so she asked me to come down and inform you, to see if you can go up and help."
I quickly got up and put on my clothes.
Kuang Zhan and his bunch of scoundrels finally made their move.
I've always disliked these people, probably a bad habit inherited from Legend.
No matter what game, there are always trash guilds like "Arrogance" or "Dominance," who speak with "I, your father" or "your grandpa."
A bunch of guys with no skill or manners, relying on their numbers to commit murder and arson.
If it's a one-on-one PK, they turn into a bunch of noobs.
I've always only had contempt for these people.
After logging in, I immediately asked Xu Lin to invite me to her party across maps.
When I ran into the map north of Hurricane City, I saw three orange dots slowly moving in the upper right corner of the valley from afar.
It seemed Lu Xuehan and Xin Yu were trapped there.
I opened the communicator, and Xu Lin's urgent voice immediately came through: "Lin Fan, are you here?
We're almost unable to hold on.
So many Thieves, we killed more than ten and there are still more!"
I quickly said: "I'll be there soon.
First, see if there are any other exits in the valley.
If possible, I won't force my way through the middle of the valley."
"No need to look.
If there were, we would have left long ago.
You figure out how to get in."
I turned off the communicator and began to concentrate on rushing.
Several players ahead were moving towards the valley exit.
Seeing me from afar, they immediately surrounded me.
Two level 18 Mages and one level 21 Swordsman, all with names starting with "Kuang," so they must be Kuang Zhan's group.
Without using any skills, I charged straight at a Mage and landed a normal attack.
With my agility increased by 161 points through equipment, my movement speed was far beyond what these low-level, poorly equipped people could compare to.
In a flash, I was in front of the Mage, and this sword strike smoothly killed him without much suspense.
Without the slightest hesitation, I turned and struck again, instantly killing the other Mage as well.
At this moment, a level 16 Swordsman also launched a Combo skill at me—
"42!"
"31!"
Looking at these meager damage numbers, I almost laughed.
One Combo ended his small life.
From afar, there was a commotion of people at the valley exit.
It seemed Kuang Zhan's group was there!
