Volume 7, Chapter 29 – Whale Players, Terrifying Indeed

“Hmph… you think I can’t tell you’re using provocation on me?”

Angry as she was, Arrow Topples a City immediately reacted that what Xingyu Muxi said just now was simply her trying to bait her.

That’s right, provocation.

You had to know, even though Subworld was a virtual game in name. After that major update that affected the real world, Subworld had already become extremely important.

At the very least… anyone with ability would participate in Subworld. And in the real world, values were also influenced by Subworld, like those high end players that players crazily worshipped.

And as Subworld’s player base expanded, the early advantage held by players who got ahead in Subworld was gradually worn away as time passed.

And setting aside those high end professional players who were already famous far and wide, some people who already had strong skills in the real world also displayed talent that was stronger than ordinary players after joining the game.

Details in combat, and how combat was handled. People who learned things like fighting skills in the real world leapt into becoming powerful players after entering the game. And as a rising star, Arrow Topples a City was also one of those players.

Naturally, as high end players, everyone’s PVP techniques had their own strengths, and the field Arrow Topples a City excelled at was long range shooting.

And if she got hot headed from Xingyu Muxi’s mockery and went to fight Xingyu Muxi in melee, then Arrow Topples a City would really be unworthy of the title “high end player”.

“Oh my, looks like a basic provocation didn’t work~”

Arrow Topples a City was not stirred up by her provocation, and that did not seem to surprise Xingyu Muxi. Of course, even if she felt calm inside, she still had to put on an expression that looked “slightly” surprised.

“That makes things a bit troublesome~ But if we’re competing in archery, I’m definitely not your opponent…”

It sounded like she said it out of worry, but that attitude of not caring at all what Arrow Topples a City did made the pressure in Arrow Topples a City’s heart surge.

Because… she had already witnessed Xingyu Muxi’s combat power with her own eyes. And at this moment, the more Xingyu Muxi looked like she didn’t care and didn’t want to defend, the more it brought Arrow Topples a City massive pressure like a mountain…

‘No, if I keep being passive, I have to strike first!’

Seeing that the elf girl in front of her did not seem to have any intention to attack, Arrow Topples a City, who was secretly thinking of countermeasures, finally gritted her teeth and had the idea to seize initiative.

So, before Xingyu Muxi could “react”, Arrow Topples a City instantly drew her bow, nocked arrows, and fired several arrows in a row toward Xingyu Muxi, each one trailing a stream of light.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

The sound of tearing through the air followed. In game time, the speed of arrows shot by an Archer was no less than bullets. So almost at the same moment they were fired, those arrows had already arrived in front of Xingyu Muxi.

And in that instant, Arrow Topples a City, who had been staring tightly at Xingyu Muxi, suddenly had her expression change drastically.

“Not good…”

There was no time to think. As a Ranger, Arrow Topples a City already had agility and reflexes beyond ordinary players, and the moment she sensed something wrong, she wanted to retreat.

But… as Arrow Topples a City’s opponent… Xingyu Muxi was also a Ranger.

“Eh, you only reacted now? That’s slower than I imagined~”

Xingyu Muxi’s words suddenly sounded beside her ear, and in her vision, that “elf girl” who was clearly about to be pierced through by the arrows became like a clump of transparent air, truly being directly “passed through”.

And only then did Arrow Topples a City feel the icy touch from the sharp dagger at her neck.

“You actually have Trickery-type skills?”

At the last moment, Arrow Topples a City let out an unwilling voice.

“Because my melee ability is already enough on its own, so I specifically bought some Trickery-type items. Well, how is it, surprised?”

Trickery-type items in the game world were always fluctuating around a price of several million gold coins, and in the real world, they had been reached up to several hundred million. After all, Trickery-type items were the best choice for saving your life. Lots of players relied on these items to escape all kinds of danger.

And this kind of item that could be treated as a second life… are you really treating it like cabbage you picked up off the roadside, like there are so many?

Right before she turned into white light and revived, Arrow Topples a City couldn’t help rolling her eyes.

“I misjudged it… I didn’t expect my opponent to not only be an expert, but also a rich person…”

Only after this battle ended did Arrow Topples a City belatedly understand why she felt that mountain like suppressing pressure when she faced Xingyu Muxi before.

Isn’t this just the pressure of a whale player against a free to play player?

So what if you’re rich?

Of course, Xingyu Muxi knew none of these thoughts in Arrow Topples a City’s heart. Even if she knew, she would just laugh it off, just chuckle a few times and let it pass.

To Xingyu Muxi, even though this tournament was created because of her. With the “official” stepping in, the nature of this tournament completely changed.

Even though the tournament steps proceeded according to her arrangement, the judgment of wins and losses was controlled by the “official”. Not only that, even the rewards became far better than what Xingyu Muxi had secretly prepared before.

Not to mention those Legendary-tier and Epic-tier equipment items. Just the attribute boosting titles alone were extremely tempting.

And anyone with even a bit of strength, who understood how Subworld affected the real world, basically all participated in this grand event among players.

“Archer… Ranger number one, huh?”

Thinking about the title she wanted in her mind, Xingyu Muxi couldn’t help sighing.

“Trickery-type items are limited after all, I can’t use them all in the tournament…”

And while Xingyu Muxi was privately lamenting after the match that Trickery-type items were limited, the players who had just watched that battle immediately erupted.

“God! What did I just see! A match actually won using a life saving Trickery-type item? Is this what a whale player is like? This is ridiculous!”

More than ridiculous. Everyone knows how much a Trickery-type item is worth. Xingyu Muxi used one casually, that’s the same as casually throwing away a gold mine!

“I’m done talking. We can’t compare to whale players. I thought today would be a hot blooded fight between two beautiful girls. In the end it’s actually a whale player’s solo show… so tired I can’t love anymore…”
