Chapter 124 - 124: Provoke

“Why did you stop me? The other team is already so arrogant,” Xu Yuan pointed at the computer and questioned Xiao Lei.

Xiao Lei quickly explained, “These words are all banned words. If you post them, you’ll get banned immediately. Then they will mock you endlessly.”

This explanation temporarily pacified Xu Yuan, although he continued to glare at the screen as if trying to intimidate the players in the game.

Song Fan remained unfazed by the provocations. No matter how many words Grassi used, it wouldn’t change her focus on accumulating points. Everything else was secondary. She chose not to respond and led her team directly to the mission point.

However, in Eric’s eyes, Song Fan’s nonchalant attitude was a sign of looking down on him, and it infuriated him.

He hurriedly blocked Song Fan’s path and confronted her, saying, “Do you think I’m not qualified to compete with you?”

“Don’t block the way,” Song Fan retorted before proceeding to enter the game, completely ignoring Eric’s attempt to hinder her.

Grassi chimed in quickly, saying, “Eric, Sunflower is too arrogant. Does she think she’s great just because she’s the number one player on the entire server? She only got to that position because she started playing early. If you had played games at the same time as her, who knows who would be number one?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The rest of the team didn’t react much to these words. In their opinion, this wasn’t the right way to flatter someone. They had all witnessed Sunflower’s gaming prowess, which was far beyond what their boss could achieve. However, Eric took the suggestion seriously and asked, “What should we do?”

Song Yin offered a suggestion, saying, “Why don’t we enter the game and disrupt their mission? They’ll have to compete with you, and they’ll admit defeat.”

She genuinely believed that Eric’s team had a chance to win. Their team had a player with the ID Chun Rixue, whose combat abilities were equivalent to three ordinary players. Their current rank was largely thanks to Chun Rixue’s contributions.

But Chun Rixue was eager to express his frustration. He wanted to ask whether Grassi had any common sense. While his skill level was respectable, he couldn’t possibly match the number one player on the entire server. Engaging in a battle would likely result in a humiliating defeat, making it incredibly challenging to regain their rankings.

Eric accepted Song Yin’s suggestion without allowing the rest of the team to voice their opinions. He promptly led his team into the mission, aiming to confront Song Fan, who was in the middle of completing her mission.

Xu Yuan was stunned when he witnessed the unfolding scene. “Is he crazy? Sunflower is currently taking on monsters, and her damage is unbeatable. He actually dares to approach her?”

“We don’t need to worry. Sunflower can handle this idiot,” Xiao Lei said confidently, crossing his arms.

The onlookers then witnessed a one-sided massacre. Song Fan detested interruptions during her missions the most. Every time she entered a mission, she had to spend a certain number of points. Failing a mission meant losing those points. It was infuriating to see her points wasted like this.

She focused her attacks on Eric, employing her attack skills with lightning-fast hand speed, leading to Eric’s tragic demise. If the duel weren’t limited to three rounds, Eric would have met an even more ignominious fate.

Upon observing the battle, Xu Yuan sighed, “Sunflower used to be so gentle with me. At least there weren’t such brutal scenes back then.”

Even after the fight ended, Song Fan was still affected by her frustration. She warned the other side, “You better rein in your captain. If he tries that again, it won’t be as simple.”

Chun Rixue quickly suggested, “Let’s abandon this mission.”

However, Eric retorted, “We won’t back down. You were the one who ambushed me earlier. If we go at it again, I definitely won’t lose!”

Chun Rixue was on the brink of knocking out his boss. Why did he have to utter such thoughtless statements?

Grassi continued to incite the situation, “Eric, you can do it! I know you’re the best!”

The other members of the team expressed their anger by rolling their eyes and sending furious messages in their private chat group. Each message was laden with insults aimed at Song Yin for her thoughtlessness and wishing her to leave the game.

Song Fan typed a message on the keyboard and proposed a challenge, “How about the two of us fight using our original skill levels? The loser must publicly declare on the world channel that they’re a brainless fool and leave the game forever..”
