Chapter 6 Not Worth Mentioning

Five of the six fought back and forth in the ruins, swords flying, for over ten minutes. Yongzhe Wu Ju and Meng Jingchan were already at a disadvantage in terms of combat power, and fighting three opponents with only two, they were naturally gradually losing ground.

Gui Xiao simply sat in the distance watching, as if what was happening over there had nothing to do with him.

This wasn't an arranged match, but a chance encounter, because the strength of these two teams was roughly equal, which was why they had run into each other.

Although Swallowing Heaven Gui Xiao hadn't moved, the three from Zhushen (Deities) didn't dare to be careless. This was also the first time they had encountered the young man ranked number one on the combat power leaderboard, and they didn't yet know his full capabilities. They couldn't rule out the possibility that he was off to the side brewing some kind of skill, so they kept a close watch on any activity there.

But the three of them didn't plan to proactively attack Gui Xiao before the battle over there was over. If the kid was just watching the show because he looked down on people or was at odds with his teammates, then let him watch. Right now, they had a clear three-on-two advantage. After they finished off those two, it would be three against one. At that point, no matter how strong he was, he wouldn't stand a chance against three of the top combat power players.

"Ha…" Gui Xiao yawned, watching the ever-changing battle in the distance. "How boring," he muttered to himself.

Just then, Yongzhe Wu Ju was caught in an opening by Yama, adding a bit of excitement to this "boring" battle.

From Yama's title, [Criminal Chains], one could roughly guess that she wielded a long whip. At this moment, she flickered into motion, the whip lashing out like a snake striking. Yongzhe Wu Ju had just exchanged a blow head-on with Vishnu, and was caught off balance and unprepared. The long whip seized the opportunity, wrapping around his neck.

Yama flicked her wrist, tugging and attempting to use this opportunity to directly snap her opponent's neck.

In an instant, Meng Jingchan's figure arrived just in time, his sword flicking against the whip. A clever force surged out, interrupting Yama's power transmission to the whip in a short time. Yongzhe Wu Ju took advantage of this to flip away, shaking off the whip around his neck.

It was clear from that lightning-fast exchange just how high Meng Jingchan's combat skill was. Seeing Yongzhe Wu Ju ambushed, he immediately sped up without hesitation, making a feint to force back Brahma, who was entangled with him. Brahma was the slowest of the three from Zhushen, and Meng Jingchan got rid of him cleanly with that simple maneuver, leaving him helpless.

"Tch…" Yongzhe Wu Ju rubbed the burning red mark on his neck, unable to hold back. "Kid!" he shouted in the direction of Gui Xiao. "How long are you planning to watch the show?"

"Hmm… if you can't hold on, just say you can't hold on. Ask me how long I'm planning to watch? Heh…" Gui Xiao lazily stood up. "Your task (here referring to the task that Order Studio gives to its employees) is to quickly improve your combat specialization, and incidentally collect skill points generated in battle." He stretched his neck. "Even if you're killed, it won't affect you doing these two things. That's why I don't move, so you can do these two things."

Meng Jingchan and Yongzhe Wu Ju had already jumped out of the battle and come to Gui Xiao's side. The three from Zhushen, seeing the kid finally moving, were also on high alert, preparing to face the challenge of this number one player.

The reason they were so wary of Swallowing Heaven Gui Xiao, whom they were meeting for the first time, was largely due to another person, the player ranked second on the combat power leaderboard: [Shiva]. As the strongest of Zhushen's Four Heavenly Kings, he used the game ID representing the "God of Destruction" and held the position of Zhushen's guild leader. In terms of 1v1 strength, not one of Vishnu, Brahma, or Yama had ever beaten him, not even once.

When the members of Zhushen first saw the leaderboard in the mall, they were completely shocked. A guy whose name couldn't even be seen on the level rankings was actually ranked ahead of their guild leader on the combat power rankings. They would have believed it if someone said the kid was cheating or had special abilities.

"Kid, are you saying that as long as you move, your teammates won't even need to make a move?" Vishnu asked.

"Actually, if it wasn't for Uncle Wuju dragging down the team's average combat power, maybe I could win without moving." In reality, Gui Xiao was quite easy to get along with and quite polite, but once he entered the game, he became a bit neurotic.

"What are you saying!" Yongzhe Wu Ju was about to jump up in anger.

He had long been annoyed by this Swallowing Heaven Gui Xiao kid. During the closed beta, he had reached max level and had free time to play, so he queued up for a 3-6 person random battle. When he got in, he saw that all three people he encountered were from his own studio, and two of them were even his own group's followers. He was immediately relieved, planning to have everyone tacitly farm specialization levels for each other, and then let him win in the end. Who knew that Gui Xiao would sarcastically declare that he would take on all three of them at once, telling them to come at him together. At that time, Gui Xiao was only level fifteen, yet he was so arrogant. How could these seniors not teach him a lesson? Thus, a tragedy occurred…

Of course, the annoyance was just a momentary emotion. Yongzhe Wu Ju wouldn't hold a grudge over one game, he just felt this kid was a bit of a nuisance. Unexpectedly, on the night of the open beta, when assigning tasks, he was actually assigned to be with Swallowing Heaven Gui Xiao and Meng Jingchan, with the task of playing 3v3 slaughter games to level up their specialization all night…

Now, being bluntly criticized by Gui Xiao, and in front of Zhushen, their biggest competitor, would make even Buddha himself feel a bit angry.

"Ah… don't get angry, kids just talk like that." Meng Jingchan advised, speaking slowly and methodically, his expression like an old man daydreaming, a stark contrast to his clever, fast, and agile fighting style. "Don't look at me like this now, I was just like him when I was younger…" He took out his wine bottle and gulped down two mouthfuls, then let out a burp. "嗝~ Back then, I was quite reckless too…"

"What do you mean by 'like this now'! What are you like now! Isn't it just smoking, drinking, and getting perms!" Yongzhe Wu Ju shouted. "And… you're only a few years older than him! Now is your young age!"

"Hehe… alright, anyway, I've stood up now, let's finish this battle quickly." Gui Xiao cracked his knuckles and walked forward. "I'll apply tomorrow, and just do solo queues for everything from now on. It'll be hard on you guys to queue with me."

Seeing the other side come forward alone, Brahma sneered. "Hey… kid, you can't possibly be naive enough to think you can take down all three of us by yourself, right?"

"Interesting, even the guild leader can't do something like that… what do you think, Yama?" Vishnu turned and asked.

"Hmph… courting death." Yama coldly snorted.

But at this moment, the expression on Gui Xiao's face was relaxed, almost lazy. "Think what you want." He didn't even have a weapon. He held out a hand and made a "go ahead" gesture, flipping his palm towards himself. "Don't waste time, come at me together."
