Book 4: The Return of the King

Chapter 38

Now, they were all on the same deck. Neither team could get away from

the other team to eliminate the npc soldiers.  Neither side could directly

kill three players of the other side either.

This was the most even match ever played since the tournament began.

Someone died, followed by another person on the opposing team.  It was

always one life for another life.

There was still some crossfire, but nobody else died from these fights.

Dt alone suppressed Gun and Ai Qing’s coordinated attack.

Solo’s all-encompassing defense didn’t give Taotao and Grunt any openings.

The cruise ship began to sink.

Water gradually rose up to the deck and a timer began to count down.

“Are we going to open the secret room?”  Xiao Mai stared at the large

screen closely.

At the last moment, Gun finally moved closer, slashing Taotao’s neck with

his knife, spraying blood onto the big screen.

The screen froze.

Game over.

It was a draw.

“Everyone!”  Xiao Mai stood up out of excitement.  “What about <Secret Room

Storm> are people most excited for?  It’s the duel in the secret room. Since the

tournament began, it’s been rare to see a team open the secret room.  It’s a

pleasant surprise to see them enter in our show match! How does it look for

top players to take turns fighting one on one duels?  You’re all getting your

money’s worth watching today’s match! Totally worth it!”

There were no tactics and no coordination.

It was a pure one on one duel between the strongest teams from two different

eras.

……

Ai Qing took off her earphones.  The bangs around her forehead were a little

damp.  She peeked through the crevice between computers to looked at Dt

who just now had mercilessly pushed her into the swimming pool.  The soft

hair at his forehead was a little messy and covered most of his eyes. But he

still noticed her, so he raised his eyes and looked straight at her.

Ai Qing rolled her eyes and mouthed: brat.

Dt was a little embarrassed.  He moved his eyes away slowly, but he couldn’t

help raising the corners of his mouth gradually.

Five minutes later, the host released the news. The organizer had decided to

disregard the competition rule again.  This time the secret room duel would

be determined by Dt’s team to pick the qianbei they wanted to challenge,

rather than by random drawing.

The referee walked over and gave five pieces of paper and pens to Dt’s team.

Very quickly, Dt’s team made their selection, which were shortly displayed

on the big screen.

Solo vs Grunt,  Gun vs Buff, Taotao vs All, Inin vs Xiaomi……

And the last pair was Dt vs Appledog.
