Chapter 432 - This Is Reality (2/2)

Mr. Coffee walked up slowly to the ambulance, “Wow, if it isn’t our lone knight… you don’t look too good, eh?” “If you think you can kill me and take away my game items in the state I’m in, just b.l.o.o.d.y do it already,” said Scarlet.

Mr. Coffee sat down across Scarlet. “Tsk tsk, you seem to have misunderstood something,” he scoffed.

“I’m not a murderer. I killed those players because they were too weak! Not only did they do nothing to help us, but all they could think about was the loot they’d get at the end of the game. But you… you are different.

“Just like me, you are the selected. We are special. These boring appetizers are about to end, and the main course will be served! The war is about to begin. When that happens, only the strong will live. Obviously, a lone wolf will not survive. Admit it, you need a companion, and I need a companion. We are like… well, a perfect match, should I say, just like soy milk and youtiao.”

“Just give up already. Even if I need a partner, I’ll never choose you,” Scarlet replied coldly.

“Why? I have achieved 18 consecutive victories. If you count this game, it will be my 19th time claiming the win. It is difficult to find someone as good as me,” Mr. Coffee exclaimed wide-eyed.

“Careful of your overconfidence. Your 18-game winning streak may just end this round.”

“Huh?!”

Mr. Coffee raised his eyebrows, interested in what Scarlet had to say, “Come on, let’s talk about who you fought against? How many people are there? And how strong were they?”.

Scarlet closed her eyes as she leaned her head on the stretcher. “I had only one opponent. I can’t gauge his age, but that guy’s skills on the sword are immaculate. It is safe to a.s.sume he’s reached lv3 in swordplay. He’s practiced for at least ten years, and he has a lot of actual combat experience. I believe he’s killed many people, but his attacks carried no hostility. No, the man has steady emotions, almost expressionless with no fluctuations.”

Mr. Coffee was a little taken aback as if he’d just discovered a panda. “He won with pure skill, instead of relying on a game item like you?” he asked in disbelief, “Hah! There are there still crazies like him who would spend more than ten years practicing their swordsmans.h.i.+p? Marksmans.h.i.+p would be a lot better, don’t you think?”

“Yeah, I thought so too before I met him, but it turns out I can’t even defeat him with my Mikazuki Munechika,” Scarlet grimaced.

As soon as she stopped talking, somebody in charge of cleaning the scene ran happily towards her while holding a cutting blade. “Found it! We have found what you want!” he shouted excitedly.

In his haste and excitement, he tripped over a piece of jutting steel, and his body leaned forward. The next thing he knew, his hand was bleeding

“Careful! It’s a sharp blade…” Scarlet chipped in, taking the broken blade with her hand that could still move. A hint of sadness flashed through her eyes, and she carefully put the broken blade away.

“When you told me about your opponent, I felt excited,” rejoiced Mr. Coffee, “I always thought this was another ordinary game. I didn’t expect to have this much fun!”

Scarlet was puzzled, “Aren’t you busy looking for an alliance for the future war? That guy is not weak. Why not make him your ally?”

“You have to admit, having a teammate of the opposite s.e.x is always more exciting,” Mr. Coffee scoffed.

Scarlet was too lazy to pay any attention. After a while, she spoke again, “I will quit this round. You can complete the game yourself. I will use a mission failure exemption card to offset the punishment.”

“Hey! Hang on, will you? I’m still here. Try to do nothing and enjoy the victory once in a while. Maybe you will like it,” laughed Mr. Coffee.
