Chapter 139: One Against Five (1/2)
Next day at noon.
There was a fine notebook placed in front of the sickbed. Daddy Thirteen ordered, ”You can only watch for two hours at time. Pay attention to your rest!”
As a result, this was a tragedy. For hardcore players like me that spent more than 12 hours online each day, having me face the empty room was a kind of torture.
I opened the notebook and looked at Heavenblessed's official forums. The Who Will Fight Me preliminaries would start at 1 in the afternoon. I could not go online and so Gui Guzi was the temporary leader. I hoped that the four-person team could successfully reach the Top 64. Otherwise, our previous efforts would have been in vain.
However, to my shock, the Heavenly Ranking of Floating Ice City had changed considerably. Lin Yixin and I were Level 64, and Dominating Heaven Blade was Level 63. Also, Lin Yixin had not overtaken me yet. Strange.
On the site of Floating Ice City was a banner—Who Will Fight Me is formally open! Where will the laurels land? Who will be the king of Floating Ice City?
Then there was a series of popularity poll with players to vote for and see who was the most popular for being the champions. Without any surprise, Snowy Cathaya's main team was ranked first, the Gods of Destruction team led by Dominating Heaven Blade was second, and the third, Mad Dragon’s team led by Roaming Dragon. The Bloody Mercenaries were ranked pitifully at 6th. Damn it, the other teams must have gotten fake votes!

……
Also, Lover's Place, and Peach Garden, who had been unknown previously, appeared. When I searched their average player ranking, they were not low. These were the experts hiding in the shadows. Wealthy young master Li Le’s team was near the top, ranked ten. I didn't know how good the four people he had recruited were.
In conclusion, I hoped that Bloody Mercenaries would not encounter these teams in the first few rounds. Otherwise, they would be at a disadvantage fighting 4 on 5, and could be easily eliminated in the prelims.
Beep beep...
The phone sounded. I looked and it was Lin Yixin's number. After pressing pick up, Beauty Lin's beautiful voice came over. ”Lu Chen, you animal, how come you haven't appeared for a few days?”
Lin Yixin's voice was slightly accusing. I laughed, feeling warmed. Regardless of whether she was accusing or cursing, she was willing to call me and this meant she thought of me. Was there anything happier than having a beautiful woman think of you?
”Haha, Yiyi, you miss me?”
”Miss you, yeah right... ” Lin Yixin said angrily. ”Who Will Fight Me is about to start. You aren't online yet? I was planning to have Snowy Cathaya and Bloody Mercenaries fight in the finals. Where are you fooling around?”
”No, I am in Nanjing...”
”Oh, Nanjing?” Lin Yixin was slightly shocked and said, ”Oh, you went to Nanjing to find a girl, yes? I heard that the sisters of Stone City are very open and beautiful...”
”Damn, what are you thinking of? Am I that kind of playboy?”
”Heehee, you are~~~”
Facing Lin Yixin's laughter and mockery, I was exasperated. I slowed my voice and said, ”I don’t think I can get online today. Yiyi, work hard. I hope that Snowy Cathaya will win and get the Hero's Token. Sell it to me for 1000 gold. Old customer, old price...”
