Reality and perfection were always different.

Among the top players from other worlds, Night Rain wasn’t the most outstanding. He made it to the top eight, but ended at only fourth place in the round robin.

It was difficult to be a dark horse in the round robin, so the results were similar to what everyone had guessed before it took place. Leo and Isa won first and second place respectively, but the third place was a surprise to everyone. Although Kratos from the Mifata Federation was defeated by Night Rain, he won third place by beating the other players.

According to the rules of the round robin, each player had to fight one game against the other seven players. Winners earned two points, while losers earned no points, and if both sides ended in a draw, they received one point each. Leo won seven games and had fourteen points in total; Isa won six games, losing one game to Leo, and had twelve points; Kratos lost one game each to Leo, Isa, and Night Rain and won the rest of the games, so he had eight points; Night Rain lost two games, won two games, and tied three games, so he only had seven points.

As for the other players, the fifth won twice, tied two games, and had six points; the sixth won once, tied three games, and had five points; the seventh tied three games and had three points, and the last one tied once and only had one point.

Night Rain refused to accept fourth place, so he went away, shouting, “I’ll be stronger next time.”

Kratos was delighted. After receiving the prize, he went straight to the gate of the Void Mask Land to give his prize to Smart, because Kratos was very grateful to him for helping him get rid of his slave identity. He had once been a slave in the arena. His work had been to entertain the audience by using his life to fight. It was Smart who had paid for him and set him free.

During the night, they were very happy to eat and drink at the street stalls. Even the weakest one was a master at the advanced legendary peak. They ate simple and spicy barbecue, drank liquor, talked, and laughed in high spirits.

This strong, happy, and free group of people was unique in the Void Mask Land. Jose had used to be a part of this happy group, but ever since he had become the Inspector General of the Republic of Northwest, he’d had lots of government affairs to handle. Several days before, when they met in the evening, Favnier and Shoggoth had often said, “Four people at one table are perfect.” Today, the table was finally perfect with four people.

Actually, there were two demon beasts among these four people, but that was okay. Even the boss of the street stall didn’t care, so who would say it was strange?

It was a coincidence that a few friends of theirs were eating and drinking in another street stall nearby.

Morani had many followers and Divine Power in the 3rd Fighter Championship. He was delighted to celebrate with Sui Xiong, Javier, and Wor. He also wanted to invite his good brother, Ink, and Yorgaardman, Arcaian, and the God of Healing, who Sui Xiong had named “Three Nothingness.” But Ink said he had drunk too much and didn’t want to walk today; Yorgaardman was away on business; Arcaian’s father, Tuela, had recently found a new girlfriend and wanted to let Arcaian to have a look; and Three Nothingness… When Morani looked at him for about three minutes, he went away without saying anything close to an invitation.

“Never mind. Four people are perfect.” Sui Xiong, who appeared as a bald man, laughed and said, “A table has just four sides. Everyone sits at one side, then we can play mahjong or poker after dinner.”

“Don’t you think it’s a little strange, Your Majesty. Four Gods gathering in the street to gamble?” Wor said immediately, frowning.

Before Sui Xiong replied, Javier handed a cup of wine to Wor. “Are you old-fashioned? It’s okay. Nobody knows us here. They would even let me sing and dance naked there. I could do that, let alone gamble. Anyway, who here knows me?”

Wor’s face darkened instantly, and he believed that… Javier would really join in.

The Boy of Ceremony was free and unrestrained, and he didn’t take social criticism seriously at all, not to mention the fact that ordinary people couldn’t recognize him. Even if ordinary people really recognized him, he could sing and dance while naked without pressure.

Going out with such a unrestrained person, the God of Knowledge, who was modest, was a little uneasy.

When he saw his Majesty’s eyes shining, showing he was eager to try, he feared that they would really run naked in the night if they were drunk.

If I had known this, I wouldn’t have come out!

Wor was regretful and secretly made up his mind. No matter whether the majesty invited him in the future, as long as the Boy of Ceremony was there, he would never go out with them!

Fortunately, Morani was a reliable man. He didn’t agree or oppose Javier directly, but changed the topic.

“Auscar, you’ve been at the conference table for more than a decade. Aren’t you bored?” he asked.

Speaking on this, Sui Xiong felt tired at once and then leaned back and said, “I always feel tired, and I can’t lift my spirits up. It’s nice to lie on the table. You know that turtles lie all day long.”

“Turtles run very fast when danger comes,” Morani said.

“Ah? Really? Don’t joke with me!”

“Your Majesty, it’s true. I’ve just checked it, and it’s real,” Wor said.

“Sh*t…” Sui Xiong was speechless. “But that’s okay. I also run very fast when danger comes!”

“You’re a dish of jellyfish when you lie there, not a turtle,” Javier said with a laugh.

“A jellyfish and a dish of jellyfish are two different things!” Sui Xiong protested. “Wash the jellyfish and cut it into pieces. Then it’s called a dish.”
