“Hey, Wan Xiang, do you still play that game called Holy Spirit World? I saw in the newspaper a few days ago that they’re giving away real estate certificates in the actual game!”

“You believe that?”

“Why wouldn’t I! I watched the exhibition match you played in. Wan Xiang, do you have any idea how amazing your teammates were?”

Seated at her desk and staring blankly through the window at the schoolyard, Wan Xiang didn’t hear a word of the chatter from her classmates and friends beside her.

Reality was truly harsh. After being brought home by her father, no miracles happened for Wan Xiang; her parents didn’t support her playing Holy Spirit World and became even stricter. Her sister was even ordered not to have any contact with her.

Since then, Wan Xiang hadn’t even been able to touch her phone. All she could do was study, day in and day out, with about five days left until the college entrance exams.

Despite her mother’s strong opposition to her attending Public University in her college aspirations, Wan Xiang didn’t want to obediently follow her mother’s wishes and go to Qing University; therefore…

“Cover for me,” Wan Xiang whispered to her chattering friends beside her.

Understanding the cue, her friends shielded her while Wan Xiang sneakily took out her spare phone from beneath the desk.

“Who are you texting at this time, Wan Xiang?”

“Don’t tell me it’s a boyfriend?” The friends surrounding Wan Xiang burst into gossip the moment they saw her texting nonstop on her phone.

Wan Xiang didn’t respond; she was messaging Jiang Qiao. Ever since she joined the Nameless Guild, she had gotten Jiang Qiao’s mobile number, and was now sending him a text.

‘Guild Leader.’

‘? Wan Xiang, aren’t you grounded?’

‘…’

‘Texts cost money, what’s up? You have college entrance exams coming up, so better not think about joining any game events.’

‘What university did you attend, Guild Leader?’

If Wan Xiang remembered correctly, Jiang Qiao was a university student in real life.

‘Wu University, just a tiny bit worse than the Qing University that your mother wants you to attend. You’re not thinking of causing trouble with your college preferences again, are you, Miss Top-Scorer?’

‘Oh…’

Having confirmed this, Wan Xiang quickly put away her phone. Conveniently, the class teacher came in for a round of inspection during the break, but before she could ask what they were secretly doing…

Her friends suddenly cried out.

“Oh my god, someone’s climbing over the wall again.”

“It’s that guy from Class 6… I remember, isn’t his name Li Cong?”

What grabbed Wan Xiang’s friends’ attention was a boy in the corner of the schoolyard climbing over the wall. His agility didn’t seem like that of a high school student; he scaled the two-meter brick wall in an instant and went over it.

“Li Cong? Where? Is he skipping class again?” Wan Xiang’s homeroom teacher obviously recognized the student and rushed to the window just in time to see the figure jump down the high wall.

“Is this his third time this month skipping school to go to the internet cafe to play games?”

“Li Cong has been playing Holy Spirit World recently. He even boasted that he’s sure to get one of those real estate certificate rewards.”

“Huh? Him? The lowest grade in the year? And can you really win a house by playing games?”

“Are you all coming to school just for a real estate certificate? Class is starting! Get back to your seats!”

The homeroom teacher loudly dismissed the students’ chatter and stormed out of the classroom, seemingly about to contact the parents.

Resting her chin on her hand, Wan Xiang looked at the high school fence. Sometimes, she too wished to climb over the wall like those bad students and go to the internet cafe to play games, but she restrained herself… because she knew it would cause trouble for Jiang Qiao.

It would be okay after the college entrance exams were over, Wan Xiang thought, as she turned the page of her textbook.

…

“Boss, I want to use a computer!” Li Cong slapped a couple of yuan bills and his ID card on the counter of the internet cafe.

“Little Cong, why are you here during class hours again! Last time your parents almost tore this place down!” The administrator felt a headache coming on seeing this young man in a high school uniform.

“Give me a private booth they can’t find this time! Don’t let anyone know I’m here, and hurry up… Once I get a property certificate, my parents will have nothing to say!” Li Cong urged.

“You seriously think you can? Although our internet cafe is the only place with the Holy Spirit World trial qualification, professional players from all the big clubs are live streaming it right now. Do you get it? The competition for that property certificate includes pros like Smile, Caramel, and Yong Ye!” the admin asked.

“Once Holy Spirit World goes pro, I’m sure clubs will come looking for me! Stop talking! Give me a computer!” Li Cong kept pestering.

Finally giving in, the admin opened up the most secluded computer booth – the admin’s own machine. Grabbing his access card, Li Cong muttered a quick ‘thanks’ and hurried off toward the VR equipment.

He logged into his Holy Spirit World account. When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer the student ranked last in his class but the inheritor of the Light Gunner’s power in Holy Spirit World… Conquest Soul Yu Chong!

Yu Chong’s profession was a Light Gunner, a hidden class. Yu Chong himself wasn’t even sure how he had switched to it, but he knew it was extremely rare on the server.

He had absolute confidence in the strength of his account. All he lacked was a bit more practice when it came to skills.

But right after logging in, he received a notification…

“You have been kicked out of the guild ‘Vibrant Neutron’.”

“You have a message from Sword-wielding Scholar.”

“You have a new guild invitation.”

Yu Chong wasn’t surprised that he was kicked out by the core branch of Vibrant Neutron; he had fibbed a little when joining, claiming he was a working adult, but once his high school status was exposed, the core branch, which was akin to a Vibrant Neutron youth camp, certainly wouldn’t keep him around.

But Vibrant Neutron was known for being personable and very welcoming to newcomers. On one hand, Vibrant Neutron nurtured new players in various ways, and on the other hand, after Yu Chong was expelled, he even received an invitation from the fan guild Vibrant Ion.

The message from the guild leader, Sword-wielding Scholar, also said that Yu Chong, after his college entrance exams, could still hang with them if he didn’t want to go to college.

Yu Chong was grateful, but he didn’t log in this time to be a mere fan of Vibrant Neutron; he aimed to become a member of Vibrant Neutron!

After many years of online gaming, Yu Chong knew that for rewards like this server-wide competition, he couldn’t go it alone and needed to join a suitable guild.

How could he, a player who had even been kicked out of their youth camp, join the main Vibrant Neutron guild? Right now, Yu Chong thought the only possibility was to beat a certain player from Vibrant Neutron to prove himself.

It was a naive and adolescent idea, but it was feasible for Yu Chong, and his target was none other than Juan Canyun, who used the same weapon and was around the same age.

This was his only chance.

Yu Chong immediately found out where Juan Canyun was after joining the sub-guild. Juan Canyun was currently near the stronghold on Biland Island.

He teleported to Biland Island, and upon arriving, Yu Chong felt… something about the island’s atmosphere had changed.

The original atmosphere of Biland Island’s starting point was a bit like an amusement park, and now, while it still had that amusement park vibe, where players played cards and danced as they pleased…

…the sky above Biland Island was now cast with a shadow, like a stone weighing on every player’s heart, making them feel annoyed.

“Is that Black Tide Island?” Yu Chong looked towards the shadowy area; he’d only been playing Holy Spirit World for a few months, and his equipment level was far from being ready to tackle Biland Island.

With the arrival of Black Tide Island in two days, Yu Chong needed to secure a spot in one of Vibrant Neutron’s elite strategy teams during this period!

He was fortunate to have added Juan Canyun as a friend and used his friend’s location to find his way to a forest not far from the Vibrant Neutron stronghold.

Juan Canyun was on his way back to the Biland Island stronghold, followed by Lady Calamity, who was holding a bunch of snacks bought from the inner world.

Ever since the release of the final battle CG titled “Rearguard” for Black Tide Island, Silver General had stepped up the training of the sub-guild’s new recruits, as well as the gathering of information about Black Tide Island and planning tactics.

Juan Canyun and Lady Calamity were both members of the Beheading Squad, but it was a pity that the exact location of Black Tide Island’s core area was still unclear. Silver General and the leaders of major guilds were still trying every possible means to gather intelligence on this.

Lady Calamity in the stronghold would only listen to Juan Canyun; she ignored everyone else’s orders as if they were nothing.

“Who’s there?” Lady Calamity, biting into a chocolate bar, sensed the incoming attack before she had the chance to eat.

In that instant, Juan Canyun also entered combat mode as a Light Gunner projectile flew out from the forest and landed at his feet.

“Player Yu Chong has attacked you; you may engage in self-defense for the next five minutes.”

Yu Chong?

“Yu Chong! You’re a newbie in our guild, why are you attacking me?”

Juan Canyun dodged Yu Chong’s Light Gunner attack using Cloud Formation, quickly creating distance. Yu Chong, however, charged forward, the light guns floating behind him like flying swords, shooting straight at Juan Canyun.

“Because I don’t want to be a newbie anymore! Let’s have a match, Juan Canyun, for the sake of the property certificate!” Yu Chong maneuvered several light guns to stab at Juan Canyun from very tricky angles as he shouted.

“Property certificate? You won’t get a property certificate by beating me!”

Juan Canyun easily shattered the seven light guns Yu Chong had released… Lady Calamity, witnessing someone attacking Juan Canyun, didn’t think twice before drawing her own firearm. However, she didn’t pull the trigger, as suddenly the battlefield was engulfed by a series of terrifying explosions.

Juan Canyun and Yu Chong both had their health cut down to twenty percent by the barrage of blasts.

“PK? Are you guys having a PK battle in the wilderness? Why didn’t you invite me?”

Lu Wei’s voice suddenly rang out. Juan Canyun looked up to see Lu Wei, who had reached level fifty, sitting on a tree, watching them.

“Damn you, little b*tch!”

Lady Calamity was also affected by the string of blasts. She pointed her firearm at Lu Wei in the tree, but in the next second, Juan Canyun grabbed Lady Calamity’s arm and they ran towards the stronghold.

“Why are you running away?”

Lu Wei applied a universal agility skill and used a technique called Flying Spear to land precisely in front of Juan Canyun from mid-air.

But before Lady Calamity at Juan Canyun’s side could blast Lu Wei away, Mo Shigui appeared behind Lu Wei, knocking her on the head with his vambrace.

“No PKing near the guild.” Mo Shigui chose his spot well, knowing Lu Wei liked to play with pain settings on, and the spot was just right for making her head hurt. “And Little Wen, the plans are pretty much set, go back and get ready for execution. Also, who is he?”

Mo Shigui raised his shield to block the sudden attack from the side; Yu Chong’s assault was still too… conspicuous.

“A fan?” Juan Canyun gave an ill-fitting description.

“Light Gunner? Not bad technique.”

Mo Shigui, who was well-versed, quickly recognized Yu Chong’s profession. As Yu Chong retreated several steps trying to find another opportunity…

“Stop fighting. Come on in, we’re about to start the selection.” Mo Shigui said.
