Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

"Going against all things" wanted to raise his hand, or grasp the sword again.

But after losing the protection of magic, she found herself frozen into this horrible state.

My hands are so cold, so cold that they hurt, and so stiff that I can’t move them at all... Are my hands that heavy?

I'm so tired, so exhausted that it's hard to accept.

Ah...can death or nothingness heal all this?

"I am indeed a loser, but I have strived countless times to move towards victory... Well, I am glad. I stepped into the void to bring back the flawless sword. Hey, what's your name? The one who passed the level."

"You always call me...Xiaoman." Yu Man responded.

"Okay, Xiaoman——"

"Going against all things" looked at her deeply with eyes as clear as the sky.

"If you see a little girl who loves to lie, tell her that the great monitor made a terrible wish for her on that holy night long ago. Please apologize on my behalf. No... that's not right! Someone will personally tell her, ha, then let it go."

She exhaled, sighed and smiled.

She forgot that she was just a loser who was born from nothingness and will return to nothingness.

Lonely thoughts - followed.

Like the rust on a swordsman's beloved sword after his death. No one cares for the warm steel anymore, and it can never be polished to a shine again.

""freeze"."

The icy mark of "going against all things" melted away at the end of the spring season.

Yu Man——brush away that trace of shadow.

……

At the end of this spring season, new famous scenes were still born in the finals.

In order to ensure a safe victory, "Sheshe Restaurant", which obtained the BP right, chose a 5V5 competition system in the second game.

Yes--

The audience was surprised to find that the previous duel was only the first one...

There's still one show to watch?

But the situation is a little tricky.

Neither BMS nor Snake Restaurant could send out a complete five-man team.

The single player of BMS disappeared.

In contrast, Yu Man was lying exhausted on the contestant seat, with a fat white cat crushing his knees and slapping his face with its claws. It was really unbearable.

"Stop pretending. I know you're not tired at all. Didn't you lay out a few backup plans that didn't work, Xiao Man?" Senior Cat scolded softly, "Hurry up and beat up the other guy. I'll comfortably welcome you home, Senior Cat."

"No, I'm a little tired."

Yu Man is in a very bad condition in real life, and her character in the game is actually no longer able to play.

Rather, if he had left the scene a little later, the shattered equipment after "dying" would have made Yu Man look very ugly.

Therefore, she is completely unable to play now.

After a brief emergency discussion, and with the ceiling of the venue being torn off, the organizers felt that this was too strange, so they allowed a special 4V4 match. In fact, no one in the audience had any objections, as they always wanted to see something new.

BMS pulled out four powerful brands, trying to save the game - not really.

Perhaps, I just want to add some value to the return of "Going against All Things".

Yu Man watched from a fresh perspective from the audience as "Time" slacked off while the six other performers and seven other performers worked diligently.

But strangely, the best performer of the game was not Xiaolu.

In fact, her sword had become much weaker, and she was obviously worried, even losing her former sharpness and confidence.

After watching the match just now, she finally realized... how terrifying it was to challenge the eel. And... how profound the mystery behind her presence here was.

The strange thing is that the best player of the match was 70.

This quick-learning water magician, who changed his profession halfway and was hired to make up the numbers, unexpectedly played very well.

After leading the team to victory, the cheers were well deserved, shining along with the golden rain under the clear sky without a roof.

She accepted an interview and commented on her performance:

"Haha, I'm going to take the college entrance examination and retire!" She was very satisfied.

266 cups

Except for the 70 who announced their retirement just after reaching the summit——

Interview.

They were talking about many things.

Compared to the fast-paced competition, there was still plenty of time left on this extravagant final day, and the organizers hoped to fill it with as much as possible. And for the team that had just won the championship, the world still wanted to know more about them.

"JDLL, what was the reason for your poor performance? Finals Day felt very different from the past. Forgive me for calling it a poor performance..."

After the questioning—

The hostess handed over the microphone and the spotlight dropped from the sky.

This is a great treatment.

The audience has always liked Xiaolu's sword. After all, this guy was once the protagonist of a folk promotional video, and his action of chopping icebergs attracted countless new players to choose to hold the sword.

Now everyone knows that she looks exactly like her in-game counterpart in real life, and her skills are high enough to win the championship. Not only that, she can also speak fluent English like a native speaker, which makes her much closer to the world.

Although Xiaolu performed poorly, the audience's love for him was stronger than ever.

"I……"

She spoke softly, and the entire venue fell silent in listening.

"I did play pretty badly because I was preparing for tomorrow's play-off - what you know as the Eels Challenge."

Suddenly, the audience was stunned.

Everyone thought it was an entertainment event for eels to pick up money.

On the final day, Yu Man's only rival was defeated. But unexpectedly, a fellow teammate wanted to kill Eel.

"I don't think I can win, but I still want to give it a try...that's all." She handed the microphone back to the host.

Then he waved to the audience and stepped out of the spotlight.

And then——

The light shines on Yu Man in the audience.

“…Is it my turn to be unlucky?”

"It's your turn, Eel player. Please come on stage for the interview."

The host even managed to get the audience, who had been reluctant to leave, to cheer as usual. I wonder if their voices are still strong enough, as they've been shouting for the entire spring season...

Yu Man was silent for a while, put down the cat in his hand, and then walked onto the stage.

She won.

A win for Senior Cat.

And—this was where she wanted to be, the place she wanted to be for Cat-senpai.

Ever since Yu Man started communicating with "Lie" about Senior Cat's return, she had been thinking about a scene like this one.

Through interviews, she hopes to use the overwhelmingly successful voice of the winner to highlight the existence of Cat Senior, sparking people's imagination and building his image. In this way, she hopes to call him back to this world.

Well, she had some selfish motives. She also wanted to earn some money from the Spring Split to ease her current predicament.

And now—it was all before my eyes.

Yu Man had been looking forward to these for a long time, but when she finally got them, she wasn't very excited.

It's very strange... Only a sense of natural calmness floats in my heart.

"...Because, is this my last peace?" Yu Man responded to the question in his heart.

When the cat seniors stepped into the old world, their key to pass the level opened the door to a truly new chapter in the old world.

Will they produce a draft that is a waste of time, or a finished draft that is written in one go?

But no matter what, the road ahead will be difficult, but this is just one of the problems Yu Manxiang faces.

The second issue was money. She had been forced to stay at Xiaolu's house due to financial difficulties... and now she had an excuse to leave.

"Eel player?"

"Ask." Yu Man pulled himself out of the quagmire in his heart and quietly looked at the beautiful female host who was dressed up carefully.

"You are undoubtedly the MVP of this competition. You displayed incredible strength throughout the entire competition. How did you acquire such strength?"

"Play PVE." Yu Man answered briefly.

"Instead of PVP?" the host asked again.

"You can treat this game as reality. The countless dungeon enemies you have to face are much stronger and smarter than the players. This is a complex issue."

Yu Man didn't mind chatting a little more, especially if she wanted to.

"Think about it. If a bunch of complete novices were crammed into an arena, relying on so-called fairness to outwit each other while remaining completely ignorant of the real world, they'd end up just as pathetically incompetent as that player I casually dismissed in the opening match. Speaking of which, that guy still hasn't given me his equipment or property."

This is Yu Man's heartfelt words. She discovered this problem last week.

A group of newbies who have just entered the game will only discuss the basic things with each other in the arena, but in fact PVE can get countless things beyond common sense.

"The very good 'Xiankan' actually comes from a PVE background, and Teng is the PVE team leader. And my teammate, Xiaolu, as you know, is number one in the arena, but she only plays a few games when she has free time in PVE to relieve the pressure of dungeons. So, if you want to get stronger, don't just stick to that small circle."

The host didn't expect Yu Man to talk so much, but he benefited a lot from it.

She then asked—

"So you've won $200 million after taxes, and even with tomorrow's playoffs... you'll likely have another chance to win the same amount... What can all this money buy you?"

"Freedom," Yu Man said matter-of-factly. "I can eat and wear warm clothes. That's it."

Hearing this, Xiaolu looked at Yu Man and fell into deep thought.

As she said herself.

She performed poorly because she was preparing for the play-off match with Yu Man.

But that doesn't just refer to tomorrow's 1V1... but also to the story after she gets the money.

She would leave—probably. Realizing this, and seeing it getting closer and closer, the fawn could no longer help but indulge in this foolish thought, unable to clear its mind.

The host's questions followed.

"What are your thoughts on the future of the Old World professional scene? Will there be any teams that can challenge you? And after the shocking retirement of player 70, how will the vacant position at Snake Restaurant be filled?"

"This is it."

Yu Man pretended to think.

But the answer had already been in Yu Man's mind - even earlier than the spring season.

She showed her usual charming smile and slowly spoke to the world—

"I know a very powerful player, and probably many people know her too. She diligently writes guides online. She's a true master whom I admire and feel inferior to—Three..."

Everyone is looking forward to it and waiting.

I want to see who is the guide author who is praised by players like Yu Man and is even better than her.

But Yu Man got stuck.

Uh, wait, what was Cat Senior's online nickname again...

Offstage—Senior Cat desperately lip-synced and begged. Never before had the white cat been so anxious, so embarrassed. This interview could determine her life, and yet Yu Man was about to fail!

Urgent, urgent.

But fortunately - Cat Senior's prayer worked.

"Three Crowns... and the King of Time."
