May 25th, early morning, Mall Area 10.

Si Yu and Bei Ling also came to join the fun, wanting to see how the commentators would broadcast this match.

"Hi, ladies, long time no see."

As soon as they entered the mall, they ran into an acquaintance.

"Oh~ it's Jin Fugui." Bei Ling said with a chuckle.

"Hey! Can't you just use my nickname!" Jibu really didn't expect... the other party would call him out like that.

At this moment, the two from Hell's Frontline saw that Jibu was also accompanied by another player wearing the Bingdi uniform, and a female player at that, ID: [Hei Bai Hui].

Although Hei Bai Hui was a female player, she was dressed entirely in men's clothing, her hair styled into a slanted fringe, her brow exuding a heroic spirit. It felt like... Jibu next to her was the more feminine one.

"Haha... Guild Leader, so your name is Jin Fugui?" Hei Bai laughed.

"Well..." Jibu couldn't deny his real name, so he quickly changed the subject. "Ah... let me introduce you, this Si Nvxia is the wife of Feng, the Guild Leader of Pojian Chaliao, and this next to her is their organization's main fighter." He was trying to get back at them.

"What?" Hei Bai didn't quite understand.

However, she quickly saw the Hell's Frontline emblem and continued, "Wow! You guys are..."

"Yes." Si Yu directly interrupted her, lest she make a fuss and attract the attention of those around them.

"Oh! Guild Leader, you're amazing, you actually know people from Hell's Frontline (due to Xiao Tan's outstanding performance, Hell's Frontline is now somewhat famous)." Hei Bai turned to Jibu and said, "I thought you were just bragging again."

Jibu looked embarrassed but couldn't lash out, so he could only laugh awkwardly twice.

"That word 'again' leaves much to the imagination..." Bei Ling said maliciously.

"Ha, you guys are really here." Another familiar voice sounded. Long Ao Min waved as he walked over.

"We knew it would be broadcasted on the main screen in advance, so we came to take a look..." Si Yu replied.

Qi Sha also followed behind Brother Long, greeting the four people in front of him, "Hello everyone."

"Oh oh! It's Qi Sha! Guild Leader." Hei Bai grabbed Jibu's collar and shook him back and forth, her eyes fixed on the two from Daofeng.

"I saw him..." Jibu's strength was average, but he had met a lot of big shots. Basically... anyone who became friends with Feng Bujue was used to seeing all sorts of scenes.

Long Ao Min and Jibu also knew each other; the two had worked on scripts with Xiao Tan before. So, after a round of introductions and greetings, the six of them stood together to watch the match.

"By the way... Jibu." After a while, Qi Sha suddenly remembered something and said to Jibu, "It seems that all three members of your guild's 'Naming Difficulty Trio' have entered the [Butterfly Battle], pretty impressive."

"Uh..." Jibu's face flushed again. "Heh... hehe... yes... yes... those three kids... are... are alright, I guess... haha..." He forced a smile.

Qi Sha was a bit slow on the uptake in this area and didn't see the reason for the other party's embarrassment at all. Seeing that Jibu looked a bit strange, he didn't say much more, just shrugged and continued watching the big screen.

"Guild Leader... you can be shy too..." Hei Bai whispered in Jibu's ear.

"Stop talking nonsense... I at least made it to the playoffs... It's the schedule, the schedule!" Jibu defended in a low voice. As he said this, he suddenly remembered something and immediately turned to Si Yu and Bei Ling to ask, "Eh? Speaking of which... you two should have reached level 30 a long time ago, right? Why didn't I see you two on the [Cocoon Battle] list?"

"We didn't sign up." Si Yu replied succinctly.

Bei Ling added, "It feels like the competition is too much trouble."

"Oh... that's right... you guys are casual players after all..." Jibu responded.

"Even professionals are inevitably eliminated." Hei Bai came over again to add another jab to the Guild Leader.

…………

At the same time, in the login space.

Feng Bujue sat on a folding stool, waiting for the match to begin.

With a great battle imminent, it's only right to give a rundown of his character stats. Here are the specifics of Jue-ge's data, after a thirty-chapter hiatus:

Title: [Dark Vanguard], Title Ability: [Devil Descent]

Experience Value: 19950003900000, Skill Value: 30700, Game Coins: 1960000.

Specializations: General C, Machinery C, Reconnaissance d, Fighting B, Shooting d, Medical d, Spiritual Arts C, Summoning d.

Inventory (10/15): Mario's Pipe Wrench, Flashlight, Eighteen Bronze Men's Folding Stool (No. 5), USP-500 (5/20), Anti-Gravity Catapult, Moxxi's Bad Touch, Vajra Bell, Survival Value Supplement (Medium)*5, Endless Grenade Clip, WJ-Q-308 Military Shovel (Indestructible).

Equipment: Jazz Dance, Death Poker (Psionic Weapon), Echo Armor, Artemis' Embrace, Implanted Alchemic Amplification Device.

Storage Room (2/10): Puzzle Card - Monkey, Puzzle Card - Strawberry.

Skill Bar (7/12): [Not-So-Careless Repair], [Spirit Sense Gathering], [Tenacity of the Ice Alchemist], [Nanto Flying Dragon Fist], [Summoning Art - Musashi Koganei], [Moon Step], [Rankyaku].

As you can see, Jue-ge, who just sold two million game coins in early May, has once again approached two million in savings by late May. However... when he finished the transaction at the beginning of the month, he only had about 860,000 left. In other words, his game coin income this month is actually less than half of last month's.

There are two main reasons for this. First, undoubtedly, is the [Type-0 Magical Destroyer]... if he were to sell all the equipment he stuffed into that thing, it would be a considerable income; moreover, Jue-ge even bought a few useless Fine-grade equipment to fill it, which was even more of a loss.

Secondly, after leveling up, Jue-ge often challenges Nightmare difficulty Team Survival mode, but so far... he hasn't cleared it even once. The time wasted on these scripts doesn't yield much return.

Overall, Feng Bujue has basically maintained the demeanor of a casual player for the past half month or so. Because there's no competition pressure, he's been quite lax with his character, but he's been more concerned about Xiao Tan's schedule.

However, after Woody's visit, Feng Bujue's attitude had to change... Therefore, in the last two days, he fully utilized his game time to seriously grind some solo Nightmare scripts. As long as he cleared them, he chose the experience reward... thereby quickly reaching level thirty-nine.

Unfortunately, this last-minute cramming didn't give Feng Bujue a very noticeable boost. Most of the equipment and skills he acquired during this time weren't that great. Only one Fighting-type skill was decent, but he didn't meet the learning requirements.

[Name: Fallen Blossom Scattering Cut]

[Skill Card Attributes: Active Skill, Permanently Learned]

[Skill Category: Fighting]

[Effect: Centered on the user, indiscriminately attacks all targets within a ten-meter radius (Cooldown time: 40 minutes, can only be activated when using a bladed weapon)]

[Consumption: Stamina Value 1000]

[Learning Requirements: Female Player, Fighting Specialization B, Spiritual Arts Specialization d]

[Remarks: Excellent female swordsmen know how to express the phrase "Stay away from me" with actions.]

Jue-ge naturally gave this thing to Si Yu to learn; Hell's Frontline only had one female player who used bladed weapons...

In addition, Feng Bujue also got a Fine-grade Footwear equipment, the stats were pretty good, but he thought [Jazz Dance] was more suitable for himself, so he put the new shoes in the guild's public storage for teammates to take as needed.

In short... these two days of effort didn't give Feng Bujue any noticeable improvement. Now he doesn't have time to prepare anymore, looking back at the more than half a month of carefree days, he can't help but sigh... If he had been more diligent back then, he would be more relaxed now...

Of course, even if he maintains the status quo, Jue-ge isn't too worried... He firmly believes that as long as he has the will to win, he will definitely find a way.

This isn't arrogance, nor is it because Xu Huaisang is a female player that he looks down on her.

If you had to ask where his confidence comes from, this narcissist would probably answer—"When I get serious, even I'm afraid."
