Chapter 262: Gratitude and Resentment
In the break room, Su Xiao leaned back in his chair.
— It's getting harder and harder, " sighing, Su Xiao looked at his progress.
[First rank, rating: 21; 84 consecutive wins.]
Each time, he encountered more and more nasty characters. His last opponent was actually a mage who did nothing but throw fireballs.
Skills like fireball weren't considered strong, but this mage was a bit special — he sometimes threw small balls, sometimes big ones, sometimes he threw just one ball, and sometimes five at once.
The most annoying thing was that all his balls were able to pursue their target. If Su Xiao wasn't so good at destroying mages, he would most likely have been defeated due to this continuous bombardment of fireballs.
After several fights in a row, he stopped feeling like he wasn't in control of his new power and started to feel much better.
[Please wait, the search for the enemy may be delayed...]
Now the match was searched for about half an hour, if not more. Su Xiao suspected that after getting into the top 10, finding an opponent would take an hour, if not more.
After defeating dozens of opponents, Su Xiao noticed some special rules of the arena. For example, to quickly advance in the ranking, it was necessary not only to quickly defeat your opponent, but also to do it as efficiently as possible.
After waiting for an hour, Su Xiao canceled his search for matcha and decided to go back, but a notification appeared in front of him.
[Notice: A challenger with a rank of 163.333 has sent you a challenge based on the individual battle rules.]
Su Xiao frowned and declined the offer.
Su Xiao's brows furrowed, but he declined the offer again. This was the first time he had seen such a strange newcomer.
Su Xiao's eyes turned cold.
A moment later, he was standing in the arena.
There were no spectators around the arena, as the call settings indicated that it was forbidden to watch the fight.
Su Xiao looked around and saw a woman in open clothes.
— The woman's voice was very pleasant and soft, and some of her seemingly random movements were very provocative.
Without waiting for her to finish, Su Xiao dashed forward.
He wasn't going to listen to nonsense from this woman. He didn't even draw his sword and just grabbed her by the throat with one hand.
— Podo...
Su Xiao immediately snapped her neck.
*Crackle*
The woman's body quickly disintegrated into particles.
— I gave you a chance, but you kept pestering me. If I meet you in the derived world, I'll cut you up and feed you to the dogs.
Her body dispersed, and she didn't even have time to say that she was the leader of one of the big factions.
Mei Jai's body gradually appeared in the break room. She was breathing heavily, and her body was shaking with anger.
Although she knew that she couldn't die in the arena, this man was too angry and he didn't even let her say a word.
— You dared to humiliate me like that... Just wait, " Mei Jai gritted her teeth, her pretty face starting to look disgusting.
— Byakuya, also known as Byakuya in the derived world...
Mae Jay decided to contact her old friend. Her ferocious appearance immediately disappeared, and she quickly began to put on makeup.
Soon, her video call was answered, and a man dressed in full gold armor appeared on the other side.
This man held a very high position.
— Honey, I've been hurt, " Mae Jay said bitterly, and made an aggrieved face.
— The man's voice was loud and clear, but his tone was a little casual.
— A guy named Byakuya.
— Byakuya? I think I've heard of him, " the man was lost in thought, and after a couple of dozen seconds, he remembered something.
He remembered hearing that he had been invited to join the Ghost Brigade, a group that was considered the sworn enemy of his guild.
After thinking for a while, he realized that he shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter. The last run-in with this group resulted in these crazy people getting more than a dozen scarlet cards from them.
— I have some urgent business to attend to — " he said, and hung up, and Mae J was stunned.
— This... what does this mean?! Meiji's fists gradually clenched, causing her slender fingertips to dig into her flesh.
— I slept with you, and now you don't want to help me? After mumbling this, Mae Jai sighed and quickly calmed down.
She knew she couldn't offend this man.
— I won't let it go like this.
Mei Jie started contacting her friends, but after they heard Su Xiao's alias, they referred to urgent matters and dropped the phone.
All her contacts were so fragile...
Ten minutes later, she had no other options.
— Since you've proved so unreliable, don't blame me now for letting someone know some of your secrets.
In fact, she originally wanted to force him to join their guild. If he became part of their forces, she would receive a very good increase in her salary.
However, due to the incident in the arena, she decided to force Su Xiao to join them by force.
— It seems like I can only rely on this person... " Mei Jai's face was filled with disgust. She still had one trump card up her sleeve, but she didn't want to use it. This man liked to torture women, and in just one night with him, she had to spend thousands of coins just to repair some particularly dangerous wounds.
After a moment's hesitation, she clenched her fists and contacted him.
----
Su Xiao knew that even if he didn't provoke people, trouble would find him just because he would only get stronger.
Interest is the starting point of all contradictions and the source of all troubles. Complaints and grievances are just tools for getting benefits.
In the break room, Su Xiao gave up after an hour of searching for a match. Heaven also gave him a notice that only six of the top 50 players were present in the arena right now, and also informed him that in 24 hours, most of the top 50 players would be present in the arena-100.
Seeing this, Su Xiao left the arena. The reason why he advanced up the table was because the top ten received special rewards, and the higher the position in the table, the better the reward was.
After looking at his balance and seeing the number in the form of "11.947", he sighed.
Su Xiao wanted to turn these coins into his power as quickly as possible. Now he has only two options left, either to improve his equipment, or to fight with a copy of some famous character..
So far, he wasn't ready to improve his things, because ten thousand plus wouldn't be enough if anything happened. It will be better if he goes to improve his equipment after he has 50,000 coins on his balance..
And he wouldn't upgrade all of his items to +7, even +5 would be more than enough.
Su Xiao quickly made his way to the testing hall.
