Relax, I'm not some troublemaker from a role-playing game.

The heatwave from the explosion shot skyward, and Hermes' chariot, flying at low altitude, was instantly engulfed in the blast.

In an instant, the flames engulfed all vision, and countless fragments, accompanied by fire, crashed onto Hermes' chariot.

The violent air currents even altered the flight path of Hermes' chariot.

But the next instant, as Jiang Lingyi pressed a button, the Hermes Chariot came to a steady stop once again.

Jiang Lingyi then stepped on the brakes, bringing the vehicle to a stop in mid-air at an extremely fast speed.

Then, he looked down.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"A player detonated the building."

Jiang Lingyi spoke succinctly, and at the same time, looked into the distance. Suddenly, she clicked her tongue and took the initiative to drive Hermes' Chariot down a little.

This time, however, the figure at the epicenter of the explosion was finally clearly visible.

A middle-aged man sat on the steps, holding half a cigarette in his hand, his naked, muscular body displaying its sleek lines.

A calm smile graced his face. Behind him, the building collapsed amidst the towering flames following the explosion.

Inside the building, countless players' names were rapidly appearing and disappearing, incinerated in the waves of explosions.

Only the red supply box beside the man stood out conspicuously, highlighting his identity.

Undoubtedly, a battle for supplies also took place here, and the man before us was the ultimate victor.

His title was already displayed above his head.

No. 1, [Glory]!

"They seem like a formidable opponent."

Bai Xi remained silent for a moment before speaking. Jiang Lingyi nodded without saying anything more.

Rongguang, seeing the vehicle in front of him, waved enthusiastically in their direction:

"Hey, good morning, you two. That car is pretty cool."

"Tsk, that's a bit of an eyesore."

Jiang Lingyi snorted and looked away. At the same time, Rong Guang couldn't help but chuckle, as if he had caught a glimpse of the scenery inside the car.

"It's okay, girl, don't overthink it. I'm not interested in you. I don't like men."

He laughed heartily as he spoke, "I'm more interested in the guy next to you."

In an instant, Jiang Lingyi's expression turned dangerous, while Bai Xi looked completely bewildered.

Wait, bro, what's going on?

What's the matter?

What should we do then?

Why did I go out and not get noticed by any girls, but instead got noticed by some weird old man?

"Ah, never mind, I'm not interested in going up against the fourth place team right now. At worst, we'll both be injured."

"Let's try again in three days. I'm sure you guys will qualify, right?"

Rong Guang said with a hearty laugh. Jiang Lingyi remained silent for a moment, then drove off.

But the next moment, an explosion occurred on the vehicle's exterior, and Jiang Lingyi's expression changed. Meanwhile, the Hermes Chariot, amidst violent shaking, rapidly ascended into the air!

"A small gift, take care, and don't bother seeing me off!"

Rong Guang's loud shout rang out. Jiang Lingyi let out a long breath, her face grim, and gripped the steering wheel.

Bai Xi sighed and slowly extended her hand.

"Jiang Lingyi, should we retaliate a little?"

Suddenly, Bai Xi spoke up and asked. Jiang Lingyi looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Retaliate? How are you going to retaliate? By going straight in your mech and fighting him head-on? Besides, he's about to get another red piece of equipment."

Jiang Lingyi complained as she prepared to maneuver the Hermes Chariot away. But Bai Xi smiled and tossed her hair aside:

"Do you remember the candlelight communication technique?"

Looking at the flames that stretched tens of meters high, Bai Xi said this.

Jiang Lingyi was slightly taken aback. By the time she came to her senses, she could already hear the chanting of incantations in her ear.

Then, the flames that had engulfed the entire building began to take shape. Bai Xi stopped chanting, a smile appearing on his face:

"Gifts should be returned in kind to be considered polite, right?"

Then, in the next instant, the towering flames revealed Bai Xi's face.

It was like a miracle!

Candlelight Communication Technique - Deeper Version!

In an instant, the flames from the iconic buildings in Nyarlathotep's temple area became so vast that they were visible to almost the entire city!

Then, Bai Xi opened his mouth and said:

"Ahem, everyone can see it, right?"

A disdainful smile appeared on Flame's face:

"I'll say it since everyone can hear me. Listen up, you bunch of players are all noobs! I, Rongguang, am publicly criticizing you all; even a group of over six thousand people couldn't beat me!"

"I'm right here in the Nyarlathotep neighborhood, the one with the red box next to me. Come at me if you dare, I'm waiting here. Anyone who chickens out is a son of a bitch!"

In an instant, the flames went out, Bai Xi severed the candlelight communication spell, and a genuine smile appeared on his face.

"Ah, this is just right."

While waving to Rong Guang, who was still in a daze, Bai Xi stepped on the gas in Jiang Lingyi's place and sped away.

slip away.

Do it and run, that's fucking exciting!

"This is the first time I've seen candlelight communication used like this."

"I think that's exactly how it should be used. Don't you think it's like a séance?"

After walking a little further away, Bai Xi shrugged and answered Jiang Lingyi's question.

Then, he fell into deep thought.

"To be honest, that guy is putting a lot of pressure on me. We need to hurry up and take action."

Bai Xi let out a breath and said seriously, and Jiang Lingyi nodded in agreement.

Although they had pulled a fast one on the other side, both sides knew that it was just a joke.

Neither of them used their trump card. Bai Xi didn't demonstrate his damage output, and neither did the opponent. The explosion was likely just a title effect.

As expected of a unique title, the effect is simply outrageous.

The real battle will most likely take place after both sides have reached a high level, or even after they have obtained the qualifications.

Only by reaching a high level first can Bai Xi have the confidence to defeat his opponent.

"We need to upgrade as soon as possible. However, he did give me a bit of inspiration."

After saying this, Bai Xi closed her eyes.

"I'm going to find Serpes, I'll be right back."

"Okay, sure."

Jiang Lingyi nodded gently, watching Bai Xi's breathing gradually become even, and waited silently.

Bai Xi then returned directly to her dream, and after a long journey through the illusion, she returned to that familiar place once again.

A gentle breeze blew across the green lawn, and a blond figure appeared before him.

But this time, Bai Xi didn't hear the familiar question, "What kind of wish do you want to make this time?"

But...

"So, Baek Hee, why didn't you choose my path in the end?"

In an instant, Bai Xi was drenched in sweat.
