Chapter 285: Chapter 282 - 【No.1 Player】

"What’s the matter?" Su Ming’an responded very calmly.

Xiao Na stood quietly in front, not urging, as if she was waiting for him to finish his communication.

"Caught a few...no, a group of players carrying explosives showed up," Lv Shu said. "They were targeting you. When this group was pinned down, they were still shouting your name...just like a bunch of cult followers."

"What was the outcome?"

"The place I was at is a teahouse I frequently visit, and it’s equipped with explosion-proof talismans made by occupational players. They didn’t succeed and are now under control," Lv Shu said. "They thought you would meet up with me first, but you weren’t there... How do you want to handle this?"

Su Ming’an fell silent for a moment.

"...Deal with it yourself. Or wait for me to return," he said.

"Okay," Lv Shu said. "I’ll wait for your return."

Su Ming’an sighed.

He hung up the communication and walked towards the passageway.

After temporarily setting aside that matter, he observed that the auction venue was divided into six areas.

Top Player Area, Leaderboard Front Runner Player Area, First Class, Second Class, Third Class, and Fourth Class—six areas in total.

Seats, as far as the eye could see, were like stars in the universe, too many to take in at once. Fortunately, each area was marked with a distinct color. By finding the color corresponding to one’s identity, one could step into the corresponding teleportation formation and reach their fixed area.

As he looked around the auction venue, very unfortunately, he quickly noticed the "very cool VIP area" mentioned in that person’s words.

...Because it was too conspicuous.

It was located between the Leaderboard Front Runner Player Area and the Top Player Area.

The Leaderboard Area and the Top Area, situated at a moderate distance from the auction stage, boasted the best views. In the Leaderboard Area, the seats were sofa chairs. As for the nine seats in the Top Area, they were even more outrageous, with each seat having a gold table carved with patterns, covered with various beverages and fruits, with a plush sofa bedecked by a dazzling light sign behind it, displaying the player’s world ranking.

With just one glance, Su Ming’an felt he could hardly bear to look anymore.

But what made it even harder for him to continue looking, even to the point of being unable to move, was a protruding glass room right above the Top Player Area...

He could even see through that glass room, vaguely observing the interior set-up—a giant sofa, a long table laden with various beverages, the floor adorned with fresh flowers and decorative items, and it even seemed like there was a bed in the back...

Outside the glass room, a light sign hung "domineeringly," as if proudly displaying to the whole world:

[No.1 Player]

Among the countless hard seats, that protruding glass room stood out from the crowd, like a shining sun surrounded by stars.

Su Ming’an: "..."

He had a strong impulse to turn around and leave.

"Sir, I presume you’ve also seen it; that is the guest room specially prepared for you, and now I will take you there...," Xiao Na, all smiles, seemed to see nothing wrong with that glass room.

But before she could finish her sentence, she was suddenly drowned out by a thunderous scream.

—"Su Ming’an! I saw Su Ming’an!"

Amidst the vast sea of people, a high-decibel scream came through, it seemed the screamer used a megaphone, and the booming sound traveled over like a fan at a concert holding up a microphone.

Like a wave, what was a relatively calm crowd started to show signs of fluctuation as countless people began turning their heads at this moment.

"Where! Where!" someone immediately responded.

"Over there! Everyone, remember to raise the binoculars provided by the organizers, adjust the camera system—"

Since there were simply too many seats, and the distances were too great, players could also manually adjust the length of the cameras during the auction, optionally magnifying or shrinking certain areas to view specific sections.

However, such an effect could also be achieved through live streaming, thus losing the effect of seeing it in person, which still made people prefer to buy seats closer to the action.

For instance, right now.

This shout came as if piercing through the clouds and splitting rocks, effectively achieving the ’interaction’ effect...

The moment Su Ming’an showed up, he was instantly locked on by countless people.

Even the pair of male and female players he had just heard talking above the corridor were now staring blankly, their eyes filled with the surprise of winning a prize.

"Ah, Su Ming’an—"

A scream, coming from nowhere, echoed leisurely within the venue.

Then, like a switch had been flipped somewhere, various voices started coming one after another, with the players putting all their strength into it and lifting their pre-prepared loudspeakers, each voice louder than the last:

"Welcome to—Number One Player—!"

"Give your heart to the Number One Player!!"

"Override the boss rabbit, override the organizers!"

"—I will forever love Su Lighthouse!"

"Take all of the auctions! Let Edward’s stupid bunch be dumbfounded!

"Number One Player, I like you—"

"Seriously! Not securing five out of these six auction items today would be unreasonable!"

In the increasingly loud cheering, people’s shouts gradually connected into a line.

Gradually, the fancy variety of encouraging calls disappeared, leaving only a continuous clamor, like millions of people cheering simultaneously:

"Su Ming’an!" A particularly loud shout suddenly rang out from somewhere.

Immediately after, countless voices erupted at the same time, neat and uniform, as if they had been trained.

"—Override the organizers, override the boss rabbit!"

"Su Ming’an!" The person shouted again, like a slogan.

"—Override the organizers, override the boss rabbit!" Others immediately responded, their voices incredibly loud.

"Ohhhhh—!"

Maybe such simple and direct slogans made it easier for people to vent, and slowly the entire auction hall merged into a sea of shouting.

In the echoing voices, people’s shouts were filled with excitement, the atmosphere both inside and outside was lively, even the Casual Players watching from the outside were filled with excitement.

Still standing at the entrance of the corridor, completely surrounded by people who had suddenly rushed over, Su Ming’an: "..."

The microphones, like spears and short guns, were thrust in front of him, and the interviewers formed a wall of people; it seemed they had no intention of letting him pass.

"Number One Player, this is Chris from the Flare Era Weekly, what’s your specific view on the December 4 ’World Hero Event’? With organizations like the United Group rallying together, does this indicate an intention on your part to join them?"

"Hello Number One Player, I am Jiangnan from Dragon Country Times. There have been rumors that you and the second-ranked player Noel Agnini will form a team together in the Seventh World. Does this mean that you intend to abandon your previous companion, Lv Shu, in favor of collaborating with stronger players..."

"Number One Player, your response on the 4th was concise and decisive, yet questions remain. Who exactly are the ’maggots’ you mentioned in your statement, and are you dissatisfied with the current chaos among netizens..."

"Number One Player, there have been rumors that you are closely linked with the organizers and that you hold a special status under them. Many believe you might switch sides last minute due to having high Points weight. Can you make a pledge to all of humanity here and now..."

"Number One Player, given your extremely unique position at the auction, even possessing an exceptional luxurious private booth, do you have any explanation for this..."

The reporters bombarded him with a flurry of questions, but Su Ming’an only caught this last one.

The surrounding area was just too noisy...

Apart from these clamorous inquiries, there were intermittent chants of "Override the organizers, override the boss rabbit" nearby, as if this group had their own unique rhythmic chant that came in bursts.

And from some point, the people on the outskirts stopped shouting, and someone began to sing.

The singing initially started quietly and seemed chaotic, but soon, more and more people joined in forming a chorus. The singing connected like dots to lines, lines to surfaces, and gradually, it started to turn into a full chorus.

Who knows how this crowd seamlessly transitioned from shouting slogans to singing together, but the singing kept growing louder, like a gust of wind.

The song they were singing was composed by top musicians from Yu Country and was heavily promoted by the United Group. It was a melody about clinging to the homeland and looking forward to the future. The tune was not as obscure as classical music; rather, it was very catchy. As soon as the song was released, it became popular all over the server, and shops everywhere were playing it like a sweeping trend, so much so that even three-year-old children could hum it.

In some large-scale events organized by players themselves, people would start singing in the crowd and gradually this would lead to a chorus, always termed as a "must-have program" and an "iconic scene."

However, the scale of these events was only limited to hundreds or thousands of people. The largest event was just after the end of the Fourth World when the United Group held a joint performance, where the number of players joining in the singing reached the hundreds of thousands.

But people had never expected... in such a grand occasion, where almost everyone’s eyes were focused, such unified singing would emerge.

Up front, the reporters were still eagerly asking.

"Number One Player, please answer our questions..."

"Number One Player, what do you think about..."

"Regarding the previous United Group report, you..."

"Can you tell us why you always have the most special treatment from the organizers..."

"Can you tell us..."

Amid a barrage of microphones, Su Ming’an coughed.

Seeing his gesture, the reporters who were relentlessly questioning suddenly stopped. They knew that if Su Ming’an chose to speak, everything would be easier. Whichever question he answered, as long as he spoke, they would have plenty to write about.

...And at this crucial moment, having even the smallest connection with him, even a pig could fly.

Some reporters had already fully activated their recording mode, planning to document the entire event.

"Regarding the question of my special treatment..." Su Ming’an began, instantly revitalizing the reporters.

Indeed, when the Number One Player spoke, his words were explosive!

The microphones were pushed closer, pairs of eyes gleaming like they were looking at a treasure.

Su Ming’an tilted his head.

The singing encircled his ears, and he hadn’t expected that these people would start singing again.

"Number One Player, can you tell us..."

Seeing that Su Ming’an was silent again, the reporters immediately became anxious.

Su Ming’an turned back.

"...About the reason I receive special treatment from the organizers," he said.

The microphones moved even closer.

"It’s because I am the Number One Player," he said.

"...What?"

People exchanged glances, not expecting such a response.

"...It’s because I am their strongest player, so naturally, special treatment is justified," Su Ming’an continued:

"The reason is just that simple."

As he spoke, he called out, "Nana, let’s go."

Suddenly parting the crowd like Moses parting the sea, a smiling woman approached him.

"Hey, wait, Number One Player, about your reply in the forum on December 4th..."

"Number One Player, can you disclose what specific special treatment the organizers have provided you..."

"Wait, Number One Player, you haven’t clarified..."

The reporters behind him immediately rushed forward, eager to stop him like wild dogs onto meat.

Amid this, Nana reached his side and, like pushing back the tide, the crowd around was gently pushed away by an invisible, soft force.

Her hand gleamed with white light.

When Su Ming’an opened his eyes again, he saw a massive transparent glass wall... and below, seats and crowds packed dense as stars.

Nana’s direct teleportation had brought him to his room.

Looking through the transparent glass wall, he gazed outside.

...To challenge his statement, to doubt him, only defeating him and becoming the next Number One Player could possibly do it.

And that premise was simply not possible.

Before this.

There would be people who took him as their target, as their marker, as their enemy... and they would push forward relentlessly.

...And he delighted in seeing people’s initiative.

"Please rest here for a moment."

By his side, the smiling Nana handed him some fruit: "Our auction will start shortly."

Su Ming’an sat on the couch, and suddenly heard that group finish singing and start shouting again.

"Su, Ming’an!"

"—Overthrow the organizers, overthrow Boss Rabbit!"

"Su, Ming’an—!"

"Overthrow the organizers, overthrow Boss Rabbit!"

"Oh!! Yay—"

The alternating cheers echoed in every corner of the venue.

People shouted, their faces flushed with excitement, seeming even happier than during the New Year. The concert-like infectious joy filled the air, and some had already started waving glow sticks.

Su Ming’an looked at this scene and sighed: "So stupid."

"What’s wrong?" Nana approached with a smile.

"I really feel lucky about my choice," Su Ming’an said: "These people... are simply oblivious to danger."

"Yes," Nana nodded, her smile unchanged:

"Your choice is of course the correct one

...Respected Ruler."

...

In waves of rhythm, the shouts mixed with people’s voices, resonating through the bustling venue.

A woman dressed in a kimono, with a Black Blade cinched at her waist, walked slowly past the vivid "top players" area.

She looked up at the overly excited scene and listened to their words, feeling a sense of trepidation.

The United Group’s staging had too much influence.

...How did it evolve into this situation.
