Looking Forward

The official company livestream was filled with all sorts of speculations.

“Is it reasonable to suspect that Star Rebel took money from someone this time? That's why he didn't even participate in the competition. Usually, he's the most enthusiastic about such events.”

“Nonsense, how could Guild Master Star Rebel possibly be that kind of person? I reckon there must be something going on offline, so they couldn't make it. Let's wait a while and see.”

“Don't you even think about what Star Rebel's real identity is in reality? He's definitely a typical rich heir. Of course he wouldn't spend all his time immersed in games.”

“These are all just your speculations. Nobody knows the exact situation, but 1 think he's absolutely afraid that others will figure out his true abilities, which is why he didn't dare to come and participate in the competition.”

“I admit that he does have skills, but what if he simply can't compare to the God Gamer players from other guilds? All his previous victories against weak opponents were probably because the players from other guilds didn't have a level as high as his.”

Some players even wanted to directly ask about the whereabouts of North Star and Star Rebel from the Mad Dragon Guild, but everyone in the guild was busy chasing points. How could they have time to pay attention to them?

The netizens continued to wait like this, and even after the first day ended, they still didn't get any updates on the Star Rebel competition.

Many people believe that Star Rebel probably didn't want to compete with them on the first day, and he may take it seriously until a few days later.

Three consecutive days passed, and the battles on the leaderboard had become increasingly intense. Generally, auxiliary players would not achieve good rankings on this leaderboard, but Wind Flower Snow Moon unexpectedly managed to break into the top 1000, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

Liu Feng also invested all his energy into the game, and his skill level was on par with Sun Heng. Both of them successfully made it into the top 1000. Sun Heng, of course, was aware that Star Rebel did not participate in this competition, so his mental state was noticeably better than before.

He glanced over and saw that Overlord was only a few points ahead of him in the rankings. He patted Liu Feng's arm and said with a tone of undeniable authority, “You better make sure to keep your score intact. Don't let anyone surpass me.”

Liu Feng sneered in his heart, thinking, “Who do you think you are?” However, he didn't show it on his face and nodded. “Don't worry, Guild Master, I will become your strongest support.”

He had no intention of getting involved with the King's Guild; this time, he wanted to show everyone the power of Liu Feng.

These days, the enthusiasm of netizens has gradually diminished quite a bit. One must say, even though they dislike Mad Dragon Guild and Star Rebel, this competition had definitely lost some of its appeals without him.

The netizens watching the live broadcast of the company's official stream could only keep watching those few God Gamers and their familiar random show-off moves. They had already seen it several times, and now they didn't want to watch it anymore.

“Star Rebel, the God Gamer, when will he be online? Without him, this game is only half as fun. I was planning to mock him if he doesn't perform well this time.”

“Are you mocking him because you're jealous? It's normal for us fans to say such things. Can you haters just go away?”

“I have all this anger pent up inside me. 1 was hoping to release it by venting when he loses the game, but unfortunately, he doesn't give us any chance. F*ck.”

“Maybe it's because of people like you who spread nonsense online that Guild Master Star Rebel decided not to participate in the competition.”

“Doesn't matter, not my concern. If he wants to participate, he can just go ahead. If he doesn't, it's fine. I'm just someone who enjoys having fun. If he joins, I'll just watch the spectacle, but if he doesn't, I'll support other players then.”

Although netizens said otherwise, they still subconsciously searched for Star Rebel's ID every time they watched a live broadcast. What if Star Rebel started a competition today? It was not impossible.

The members of the Mad Dragon Guild kept their mouths shut. It was impossible to squeeze any information out of them.

Zhang Wanshan was well-prepared this time. It would be a disgrace for him, a mage, to join a leader board filled with god gamers, so he focused his thoughts on Star Rebel from the beginning.

Although his commentary was humorous and attracted a group of fans in a short period, he was not satisfied with the result. His efforts to generate buzz on his own were not as effective as riding on Star Rebel's popularity.

And yet, this time, Star Rebel had not officially participated in the competition. So that he was becoming increasingly impatient, as those overseas God Gamers had already discussed everything there was to discuss and there were no new tricks left.

These God Gamers were now stabilizing their rankings, and the top ten were the same ones that were mentioned before. The scores in the top ten were not stable, as they were all competing closely. It's hard to say who would claim the first place.

These days, Petite Delicate's live broadcasts were always packed with viewers, for one reason only. As soon as he started the live broadcast, a bunch of players rushed in to ask if Star Rebel was participating in the competition today.

Of course, Petite Delicate wouldn't tell them the truth. She slowly engaged in conversations with these online friends.

“You ask me if Guild Master Star Rebel will participate in the competition today? I have no idea! Only Vice Guild Master North Star knows his schedule, but 1 dare not ask.”

This was the benefit of being a member of the Dragon Guild. Petite Delicate could leisurely watch the match without even bothering to provide commentary and still receive a wave of popularity. It was enough to make Zhang Wanshan very envious.

On the other hand, Han Xing brought Han Yanran to several places before finally bringing her to Stone Village.

“Xing, how did you come up with the idea of bringing me here?” Han Yanran looked around the village as soon as they entered, like a curious little girl.

“The air and environment here are much better than the city. I really hope we can retire here in the future,” Han Yanran sighed. But after seeing the strange looks from the surrounding villagers, she quickly grabbed Han Xing's arm.

“Don't worry, I'm here.” Han Xing gently touched her head. When the two of them arrived at Zhou Shengwu's house in the small courtyard after twists and turns, they found him busy with herbs.

“Mr. Zhou, I've arrived.”

Han Xing gently knocked on the courtyard door. Zhou Shengwu turned around and saw Han Xing accompanied by a beautiful young girl with a delicate and adorable appearance.

“You, as a young girl, already have weak qi and blood. Why are you dressed so lightly?”

Han Yanran realized that the elderly man in front of her was speaking to her and quickly imitated her brother's tone, saying, “Hello, Mr. Zhou, my name is Han Yanran.”

“I know your situation. Come inside my yard and have a seat. That old blind man went out to tell fortunes for people again and hasn't come back yet.”

After Zhou Shengwu finished speaking, he went back inside and brought out two cups of herbal tea for them.

“Thanks to Mr. Zhou and Mr. Mo, my illness has improved this time. I brought Han Xing here for a follow-up examination.”

Upon hearing Han Xing's words, Han Yanran obediently sat on the stool and drank another cup of hot tea. Indeed, she felt much more energized.

Seeing her eyes sparkle with delight and surprise, Zhou Shengwu couldn't help but feel proud and said, “This herbal tea was personally picked and grown by me. It's the only one of its kind. If you had come a month later, there would be none left to drink..”
