King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

After buying clothes, Ning Caicai, who rarely comes out, clearly didn't want to go back so soon.

He then pulled Ye Lan into an arcade.

The two played video games for a while.

Of course, Ye Lan, being a homebody, wasn't interested in the games at the arcade.

So Ning Caicai plays by herself most of the time.

As for Ye Lan, he sat in the smoking area by the door, his eyes glued to the young lady dancing energetically in front of the dance machine.

They were all wearing white tank tops, revealing their white breasts, and super short skirts paired with sexy fishnet stockings, making every passing boy want to take a second look.

Ye Lan had no desire for it; she was simply watching with an attitude of appreciation.

Two more hours passed before Ye Lan and Ning Caicai finally embarked on their return journey.

I got home by subway at 5 p.m.

There are still three hours until the match agreed upon with Guying.

It's still early.

Ye Lan thought she should take a nap so she could be in top condition for the game that night.

He then went to his bedroom.

Seeing this, Ning Caicai, who was washing vegetables, asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm sleepy, I'm going to take a nap."

As Ye Lan spoke, a lit cigarette appeared in her mouth.

Ning Caicai was speechless: "Then you can heat up the food yourself later."

"Mm." Ye Lan nodded.

Remember to wash the dishes after you finish eating!

"it is good."

Back in her bedroom, Ye Lan set her alarm and then crawled into bed.

When he woke up again, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

There is only one hour left until the solo match between Gu Ying and the national server champion.

Ye Lan didn't stay in bed; she got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water.

After regaining my senses, I went to the kitchen and used the microwave to reheat the leftovers.

Dinner consisted of steamed prawns, braised eggplant, and stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts.

The food tastes great, especially the garlic shoots. They become soft and tender after reheating, making them a perfect accompaniment to rice.

During her meal, Ye Lan picked up her phone and started scrolling through short videos.

After watching a few hot dance girls, Guying's somewhat lacking masculinity appeared on the screen.

"Dear viewers, tonight at 8 PM, the Chinese server solo tournament I'm hosting on the Tiger Shark platform will welcome the strongest player in history—Ye Lan!"

"Some people may not have heard of this name, so let me give a brief introduction. He is currently the number one at the top."

"Moreover, he reached the top spot in just five days, making him undoubtedly the strongest mercenary."

"Although he doesn't have national standards, his Luna has captivated Bei Mu."

"Tonight at 8 PM, I will have a solo match with him on the Tiger Shark platform using Luna. Let's see if he has a chance to take away the 10,000 yuan prize I prepared!"

The video ends here.

The video, which was less than a minute long, told the fans everything.

8 PM, solo competition, Tiger Shark platform, opponent Ye Lan, top spot, 10,000 yuan prize.

The video was posted at 3 PM, and in just four hours, it had already received over 300,000 likes!

Such a high number of views in such a short time.

You can't do it all by yourself alone.

There must be someone pushing this message behind the scenes.

It's highly likely that the Tiger Shark platform is behind this.

"A one-on-one duel with Lone Shadow against Luna? Interesting!"

The Lonely Shadow, who possesses 25 national symbols, includes Luna's national symbol.

Luna's most famous scene, "chasing Nezha endlessly under the moon," was created by Guying.

This shows that Gu Ying's Luna is no ordinary person.

However, Ye Lan was not afraid.

After all, even Bei Mu, who has Luna's ceiling, was defeated by him, so what big waves can Guying stir up?

After watching some more videos, Ye Lan had almost finished her dinner.

After dinner, Ye Lan started washing the dishes.

Actually, he didn't have much resistance to washing dishes.

Because when they were at home, he would wash the dishes, while his sister would cook.

This had long become a habit for him.

Besides, if someone cooks for you for free, what's wrong with washing the dishes?

After washing all the dishes, Ye Lan returned to her bedroom and sent a message to Xu Zhiqiang on her phone.

"There's an event tonight at 8 PM. Remember to watch the live stream and then edit the video."

"Damn, they're already starting work?"

"Yes! You'd better finish cutting it tonight, or you'll miss the opportunity."

"But I'm so tired today, I don't want to go to work."

"Alright, stop babbling and hurry up."

Under Ye Lan's constant urging, Xu Zhiqiang reluctantly turned on his computer, preparing to record Ye Lan's live stream video.

After preparing everything, Ye Lan glanced at the time.

7:40.

There are still twenty minutes until the agreed time of eight o'clock.

We can start the live stream now.

After all, it takes some time for viewers to enter the live stream room.

Ye Lan turned on her computer, set up the live streaming software and equipment, and started the live stream.

He is no longer the unknown streamer he once was.

Within moments of the broadcast starting, hundreds of people had entered the live stream room.

"Brother Ye, Guying posted a video saying you're going to solo Luna with him, is that true?"

"You didn't watch the live stream yesterday, did you? Brother Ye mentioned this yesterday."

"Exactly, do you think the reason Brother Ye didn't stream this afternoon is because he's going to play a solo match against Guying in the national server?"

"I went shopping with my girlfriend yesterday afternoon and didn't watch the live stream. So, is Brother Ye confident he can beat Guying?"

......

After setting up the equipment, Ye Lan sat in the gaming chair, her gaze sweeping over the live chat section.

Ye Lan's lips curled into a haughty smile as she arrogantly declared, "When have you ever seen me lose?"

In a simple sentence, he demonstrated his invincible momentum and unwavering belief in victory.

But no one spoke up to refute it.

After all, Ye Lan had achieved a nearly 100-game winning streak in the peak competition.

How could I possibly collapse here?

"Yes, your question is utter nonsense. When has my brother Ye ever lost?"

"My brother Ye is the strongest, and I won't accept any arguments against it."

"Brother Ye is invincible! Brother Ye is my idol! I want to have your babies! For you, I'm willing to go to Thailand for gender reassignment surgery!"

Upon seeing the last comment, Ye Lan's face immediately darkened.

No need!

On the other side, Guying also started a live stream.

As a well-established and famous streamer, the number of viewers in his live stream skyrockets as soon as he starts broadcasting.

In the blink of an eye, the live stream had thousands of viewers.

"Gu Ying, are you confident you can beat Ye Lan tonight?"

Viewers in the live stream asked curiously.

It seems that asking contestants if they are confident before a competition has become a habit, though I don't know when it started.

"Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. After all, he's the number one at the peak, and I definitely can't compare to him on paper."

Gu Ying's answer was much more subtle than Ye Lan's.

However, he also had some crooked ideas.

He deliberately mentioned the strength on paper to tell the audience that in a real fight, the outcome was uncertain.

The audience clearly noticed this as well.

Even before the match started, the air was thick with tension in both of their live streams.
