Two hours ago, May 29th, 9:00 AM.

Cangyuan Fortress, Duelist Base.

 

Chen Xinxin started her livestream as usual, aiming to gain some followers from the KC hype.

Her current following is very high, in the tens of millions, but most are drawn from her earlier livestream featuring "My Waifu Scheiren". She doesn't have many fans of her own and needs to take advantage of the KC event!

As soon as the livestream started, the screen was flooded with comments.

 

"Xinxin, you're finally live!"

"What happened the day before yesterday? Just when I was getting into the groove, you ended the stream?"

"Were you secretly watching alone?"

"What good stuff couldn't you show your good buddies?"

"Xinxin, what's your relationship with that "My Waifu Scheiren"?"

"Could it be one of those relationships?"

"D*mn, guys, a bold idea just crossed my mind!"

"Keep your bold ideas to yourself. Scheiren must be a Ka!"

 

The chat barraged a nonstop flurry, mostly discussing the events from the day before, and the conversation got more and more gossipy.

 

"Alright, alright, let's stop talking about that." Chen Xinxin interrupted, clearly not wanting to revisit the previous incident.

 

"I'm here to stream Kc! Watch as Big Sis brings you guys and the up to Silver!"

 

With that, the chat shifted their focus, now discussing the KC dueling event.

Chen Xinxin put on her helmet, blocking out most external sounds.

 

"Click!"

 

At that moment, Shu Yu'er pushed her door open, holding a purification dagger with a serious expression.

She moved silently towards the seemingly oblivious Chen Xinxin, chatting away with her viewers.

Shu Yu'er's eyes grew cold. Gripping the purification dagger tightly, her face hardened with resolve. At the opportune moment, she swiftly swung the dagger towards the back of Chen Xinxin's neck!

 

"Klang!"

 

Chen Xinxin closed the livestream within 0.02 seconds, and a blue scythe-like phantom blocked the dagger.

 

 

"Ahh~~ The exorcist girl is just so sensitive~~"

 

"With you being that sensitive, you must orgasm quite easily~~"

 

"Chen Xinxin" turned her head to look at Shu Yu'er, a teasing smile on her face.

 

"Who the heck are you?!" Shu Yu'er growled, her voice filled with anger.

 

A silver longsword suddenly appeared in her hand.

 

 

"Hehe... Who am I?" "Chen Xinxin" laughed darkly, staring directly into Shu Yu'er's eyes, her voice like a vengeful spirit.

 

"Am I not you?"

 

In a flash, Shu Yu'er was caught off guard as her pupils flashed with a blue circuit pattern. Her focus wavered momentarily but soon returned to normal.

 

"Buzz————"

 

Both Shu Yu'er and Chen Xinxin came to their senses.

 

"Shu Yu'er!" Chen Xinxin, seeing Shu Yu'er looking ready to fight, put her hands on her hips and shouted angrily.

 

"What are you doing!?"

 

"Uhh..."Shu Yu'er clutched her throbbing head, her memory seeming to have a gap. She murmured softly, "You've been acting strangely these past few days. I suspected you were possessed by an evil spirit and came to exorcise it."

 

"Evil, evil, evil, evil your big head!" Chen Xinxin retorted, pointing at her own neck, "Come on, take a swing here and see if I die. Always with the evil spirit talk——— were you spooked by what happened the other day?"

 

"Hmm… Maybe so." Shu Yu'er said, frowning, looking bewildered.

 

Chen Xinxin seemed to have returned to her usual self, but Shu Yu'er felt something was off.

 

"Now's the time to play cards!" Chen Xinxin declared with determination.

 

"There's no trouble a good duel can't solve. If there is, then let's have a fierce KC match!"

 

"Alright, alright."

 

"Talking more is pointless!"

 

"Big Sis is going to rank up with a fresh start!"

 

Chen Xinxin turned around, putting her VR headset back on with a commanding presence.

Shu Yu'er also, as if guided by some unseen force, sat at a nearby computer, launched the online duel client, connected her supercomputer ring, and put on her VR headset, fingers moving on the keyboard.

 

At that moment... Shu Yu'er (Eva)'s cyber consciousness connected with Wanji in the , her actions continuing as if she were normally starting the game.

 

[Is the target online?]

 

[Yes, but the IP location is still very weird.]

 

[Help me match against him.]

 

[Cannot force a match against him; there's a program interfering.]

 

[Program? Someone from the Alliance?]

 

[No, the Alliance is also attacking this program and failing.]

 

[Then block other people for me.]

 

[Sis, are you kidding? With 16 billion duelists, how can I block them all?]

 

[As long as I keep winning, the number of possible opponents will decrease. Help me block them when the time comes.]

 

[How can you be so sure you'll keep winning? You're using someone else's deck, aren't you?]

 

[Intuition.]

 

[.......]

 

According to the KC event's matchmaking mechanism, there are 16 billion possible opponents for the first match. After that, high-win-streak players will be matched with other high-win-streak players, and eventually, those with streaks of 70, 80, or even 100 won't exceed 10 people.

With the consensus reached, Eva and Wanji both clicked match simultaneously, targeting Luo Bai.

 

The begins!

 

Among these sniping people were the people from the five factions of the Alliance.

In Biantana, the best way to get to know someone is to have a passionate duel with them.

Through the clash of souls, you get to know their character and understand their stance.

 

As the win streak increases, the matching pool narrows, and the success rate of their sniping will get higher. During a high win streak, if one side loses a match while the other maintains their streak, it becomes increasingly difficult to match them up again.

 

 

 

 

 

............….

 

 

 

 

 

 

The AI referee's announcement rang out once more.

Luo Bai let out a sigh of relief and twisted his sore neck.

 

"Thirty-seven win streak, just one more to go."

 

Currently, no one has been notified of acquiring the 38-win streak achievement. If he wins this match, he will be the first.

Win streak achievements also come with a prize, which is calculated separately. The highest reward for it is modest, around 100,000 or so, which is small compared to the rewards for the Golds and Silvers.

 

"But no matter how small it is, money is still money!"

 

Luo Bai inherited the traditional virtue of "poverty" from the old shopkeeper he learned from.

 

"Come on, next we go!"

 

While the environment is still full of "small fries", quickly match a few more games and climb up in one go.

 

[DUEL MATCHING IN PROGRESS]

 

[DING!]

 

[MATCH SUCCESSFUL!]

 

"Duel!"

 

"Duel!"

 

[FIRST TURN: RED SIDE]

 

"Meh, doesn't matter~~ If I get the second turn, second turn it is." Luo Bai thought leisurely.

 

"An opponent with a 30-win streak? Alright, this match should bring in big points."

 

But when Luo Bai saw his opponent, he was stunned.

Typically, the duel system only retains the basic appearance of players, such as gender, height, and body type, with clothing standardized. Virtual shops offer skins, and voices are also blurred, with AI voice options available for purchase.

Identifying an opponent is difficult, which helps prevent conflicts from escalating offline.

 

However, there's an exception.

 

Items carried by duelists are scanned into their personal profiles by the duel system.

 

"Miss Melon?" Luo Bai stared at the intricately crafted black umbrella in a daze.

 

From his tone, he sounded somewhat uncertain if it really was her.

 

"You are..." Melonica was stunned for a moment, then said in a trembling voice. "E- Evil God Store Manager!?"

 

The only person who calls her "Miss Melon" is him!
