Chapter 672 – Hatred of Marriage (1/2)
Chapter 672 Hatred of Marriage
Amidst the ovation, Fei Er stood up and smiled as she announced, “Congratulations Fang Ge Que, well fought Xiao Yao Zi Zai. Good job to everyone who participated in this 2017 Hero’s Wings Cup! The champions of the Chinese Server have been chosen. Following this will be the Rewards event….However, there isn’t a physical reward for the First, Second and Third place winners. Your rewards will be given after the competition!”
I was slightly speechless. I brought the girls along with me and walked off the stage.
Li Mu, Wang Jian and Wolf all ran over to congratulate us. Meng Yao smiled, “Brother, you’re so strong! You came in second!”
I smiled, “Am I?”
“Yup!”
“Then Meng Yao, you have to work hard too! Fight for a better future for [Zhan Long]!”
“Yes!”
……
At that moment, the screen listed out the rewards for the top three teams. In the Championship team, everyone got Level+5, Charm+50. In Second Place, everyone got Level+4, Charm+35, and in Third, everyone got Level+3, Charm +25. All in all, even though there wasn’t a material reward, the level and the charm reward was well worth it.
All top 32 teams had a chance to enter a lotto for their rewards. Meng Yao, Wolf, and Old K all walked onto the stage to draw for their rewards. The lowest reward was a Saint Tier equipment. When it reached the top eight, Ye Lai, Yan Zhao Warrior and Mu Xuan were actually able to draw Divine Tier equipment. As fourth place, Jian Feng Han drew a Divine Tier Armor. It raised his defense quite a bit too. To top it off, he had a defense special skill that increased his vitality. It was a good piece of equipment.
Li Mu leaned against his chair as he squinted at the people on the stage and said, “Just now I secretly asked Fei Er and she said that the International Championship will be held a month from now. In other words, there’s still another month left for you and Miss Lin and the others to level up and obtain better equipment. Guildmaster, what do you plan on doing this month?”
I couldn’t help but smile, “What else? I’ll go along with whatever the game develops… Let’s start off with strengthening the Dragon’s Den first. We need to effectively utilize this player city to strengthen [Zhan Long]. However, there’s one thing I’m worried about….”
Wang Jian smiled, “Brother Xiao Yao, what are you worried about?”
I replied, “This time, [Zhan Long]’s main team ranked second in the Chinese Server Championships. This will probably shake the trees a bit. There isn’t a single virtuous soul in [House of Prestige] and [Flying Dragon]. In the next thirty days, they won’t let [Zhan Long] remain peaceful. And so, for the next month, [Zhan Long] will have to keep a low profile.”
Li Mu smiled, “Then what if we can’t help it?”
I looked at him and smiled, “Then we’ll have a high profile. Even if we were to pierce a hole in the sky, it is just a hole.”
“Haha!”
……
Dancing Forest walked over, “Boss, you got second place. When you’re in the International Cup, you have to fight even harder! Also, you are treating us to dinner tonight, right?”
Dong Cheng saved me and said, “Nah, isn’t the Hero’s Wing’s Cup holding a banquet for everyone tonight?”
Dancing Forest smiled and shook her head, “Let’s not. Everyone’s saying they want a big dinner celebration, besides…. We’ll be eating with Soaring Dragon, Fierce Tiger and Jian Feng Han at the banquet. Wouldn’t that be awkward?”
Jian Feng Han scoffed at us from a distance.
I shook my head, “That’s true. Nevermind then, I’ll treat everyone. Either way, I haven’t spent any of the million that I won from Q-Sword.”
Q-Sword’s mouth twitched when he heard me.
Wan Er said, “Alright alright. Be quiet and listen to Fei Er….. The final event is starting…”
And so, the final event began. Leaders and players walked onto the stage to give speeches. The mature Yan Zhao stood up as well to give a speech. Naturally, there was no way to compare the speeches made by a middle aged uncle and us youngsters. His speech was well structured and it was well received by the sponsors. At the end of the final event, it was around five o’clock in the evening. Everyone began preparing for the final banquet. I went and gave a heads up to the event organizers and took the players of [Zhan Long] out to dinner.
……
The Hero’s Wings Cup. This was the highest honor in the gaming world. It was also the most desired honor for any player that had dreams of becoming a champion. Before today, even though I was confident in my skills, I was still restless. I was afraid that under unfortunate circumstances I would let this opportunity slip away. But now I could finally put those to rest. In a tournament filled with experts, we allowed [Zhan Long]’s flag to fly in the sky with pride. We had not wasted this honor.
And so, after the fierce battle, everyone needed a good chance to relax. Our dinner lasted four hours into the night. We drank, ate meat and chatted about everything, from small jokes to plans for the future. I could see the subtle relationships between our members. Old K didn’t leave Dancing Forest’s side. Even though he seemed to be obnoxiously loud, he was secretly helping Dancing Forest drink. He would even bring her favorite dishes to her side. Everything pointed to the fact that our Old K was starting to grow affections for her.
“Cough cough…..”
Wolf picked up his chopsticks and said, “I want some Hot and Sour Fish…. Old K can you spin it over to me….”
Old K glared at him, “Can’t you see that Dancing Forest is eating it right now? Will it kill you to have a bite less?”
Wolf smiled, “I will die if I have a bite less, you want to fight me!”
Wang Jian chuckled, “Little Dance, have you ever had a man outside of your father treat you so well in your life? If I were you, I’d marry him…”
Dancing Forest was quiet for a few seconds and said, “Wang Jian, looks like your hatred for marriage hasn’t died yet. How about you marry him instead….”
Qing Qian piped up, “That’s right, you two together….”
Old K was stunned, “Melon, don’t you join in on this….”
Wei Liang added, “Sister, what do you think Old K’s chances with Little Dance are?”
Qing Qian replied, “Less than 10%?”
Dancing Forest grinned and looked at Old K, “Actually…. Old K is honest and considerate. On top of that, he’s completely healthy and doesn’t have any defects. He would have been fine, but I…..”
I nearly spat out my beer and said, “You’re saying that he’s honest and considerate? Last time when we were singing at the KTV, he even took their napkins and brought a small bottle to take soap back. He didn’t even forget the toothpicks and brought them all back. If it wasn’t for Wolf and I, he would’ve taken the girl at the front desk too….”
Old K’s face nearly turned green, “Looks like I can’t have brothers like you ever again…”
Wan Er tried hard not to laugh. She gently knocked against my shoulder and said, “Idiot, don’t roast him now, tell me all the details later!”
I jokingly nodded.
Everyone had drank a little too much. Li Mu’s face was starting to turn flush. He raised a cup of vodka and said, “Alright, after knowing everyone for so long, it’s only natural that our affections grow. If you can be together, then be together. If you aren’t suited for each other, then just say it outright. Today is a good day. Now that [Zhan Long]’s main team has entered the top three. Who else wants to confess, confess? After today, people will act as though nothing had ever happened.”
