The King's Avatar: Become Stronger After Being Rejected, Don't Agree!

Chapter 76 Another one tied up?

Two hours ago, the audience was in complete agreement: this All-Star Rising Stars Challenge was a complete flop. If it weren't for the three-day pass discount, which was essentially paying for the last two days and getting the first day for free, they wouldn't have come.

But two hours later.

Wow! That was absolutely amazing! Watching this Rising Stars Challenge was worth every penny!

Of course, this is just an exaggeration.

However, the subsequent matches did indeed surprise the audience.

In the second match, Team Tiny Herb's rookie Gao Yingjie successfully overtook the captain and took the lead.

In the third match, Tiny Herb's hidden secret weapon, Ghost Swordsman Qiao Yifan, was defeated by Void Captain Li Xuan, but forced Li Xuan to disregard his pride and stage a crushing defeat.

Afterwards, an unknown account posted numerous questions on various forums, claiming it was a conspiracy by Team Tiny Herb to use their own newcomers to ruin Team Void's reputation. They suggested that Team Void and Blue Rain should first teach the people from Team Tiny Herb a lesson in the online game.

The entire piece was passionate and highly inflammatory. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that it was written without any punctuation, people might even think it was posted by Zuo Chenrui, Blue Rain's number one die-hard fan. The post disappeared three minutes after it was published.

In the fourth match, the battle for the title of "Number One Rogue," Tang Hao challenged Lin Jingyan. Both chose to use their own accounts. In the end, youth prevailed, and Lin Jingyan's Tang San defeated Tang Hao's Delilo. The underdog's victory ignited cheers from the audience.

In the next match, Sun Xiang, the successor to the God of War, challenged the King of Fighters, Desert Lone Smoke, but was narrowly defeated by Han Wenqing. Han Wenqing then said that if it were Ye Qiu, his Dragon Soaring to the Sky attack would definitely not miss. The younger generation is still too early to change the dynasty and win back the old generation.

Both were the sixth and seventh shows, so no one really remembered them. This resulted in the audience having great expressions, but the organizers' expressions were like they'd swallowed a fly.

Their original plan was to use the final match to highlight their star player, Zhou Zekai, but now—while Zhou Zekai's popularity is certainly comparable to the veterans, the newcomer he's being highlighted is lacking.

It would have been better to have Zhou Zekai appear at the beginning!

"Wow, that's impressive! Just watching it makes me want to surrender!"

"Damn it, get away from me!"

"Don't push! Don't push!"

The opening was chaotic, and the exit was also somewhat chaotic, given the large number of people. After Lu Chen and Ye Xiu helped the two girls squeeze out, they were scattered again after only a few steps.

"————" Lu Chen put away his phone with a sigh. The call hadn't gone through, so the caller probably didn't hear it. How was he supposed to get back?

By the way, what should we do about Brother Ye?

Lu Chen looked at the blocked road outside with a blank expression and scratched his head.

As Lu Chen was pondering whether to walk further and wait for a bus, or simply scan a QR code to ride back, a young man took off his mask and casually tossed it into a trash can, causing his hat to fall at Lu Chen's feet.

Lu Chen subconsciously bent down to pick it up, then looked up and handed it to the person: "Here, yours—"

"No, I'm not! No, I'm not!" The man covered his face and waved his hands in a panic.

"Huh?" Lu Chen was taken aback, looked at the hat, then looked around. "This looks like yours, doesn't it?"

"I already said I'm not Zhang Jiale, this is just a makeup imitation, an imitation of—huh?" The person paused for a moment.

Something's off about this guy, isn't it? Lu Chen looked at him blankly. Zhang Jiale—who's that? Oh, right, Brother Ye said that's the operator of Hundred Flowers Dazzling?

"You—don't you recognize me?" The man paused, then stopped covering his face and pointed to himself.

"I—must I recognize you?" Lu Chen was also a little confused. He had been chatting with his movie-watching buddies every day, so he knew most of the celebrities to some extent, but this face didn't quite match up. But since the other person had said that, wouldn't it be awkward for them if he didn't react at all? Lu Chen thought for a moment and politely asked, "Do you need me to scream to match your reaction?"

"Uh, no need." The person shook their head awkwardly.

It seems even more —

[A bound object was detected. Bound object: Zhang Jiale.]

[Reward: Ancient Medicine Acupuncture]

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. Huh? What's going on? It's linked? Holy crap, this reward!

"Thanks, bro." Zhang Jiale put on his hat, tucked his red hair inside, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Chen carefully examined her. Because of the previous examples of Su Muqiu and Ye Xiu, he did not doubt that Zhang Jiale was a girl, although—Zhang Jiale looked more like a girl than Ye Xiu and Su Muqiu.

"Uh, what's wrong?" Zhang Jiale asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Oh, it's nothing—it seems like it's impossible to get a taxi around here?" Lu Chen looked around. "How about we walk a bit further ahead?"

"Um, never mind, I'll go over there—"

"If I were to shout here that Zhang Jiale is here, how many people do you think would come to see?" Lu Chen stroked his chin and asked thoughtfully.

"Me—an autograph or a photo?" Zhang Jiale sighed and said helplessly, "But I didn't bring any paper or pen."

"I don't have one either." Lu Chen smiled. "Can we exchange contact information? I'll send you the address later, and then you can sign for the package and bring it over. Cash on delivery is fine."

Zhang Jiale was speechless for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, she took out her phone, let Lu Chen scan the QR code, and put it away without confirming. "Is that alright?"

"Alright, alright! Bye-bye!" Lu Chen waved happily.

"Bye-bye—" Zhang Jiale's face darkened slightly.

Add you? Add me my foot!

Watching Zhang Jiale's hurried departure, Lu Chen smiled.

Don't add me! Please don't add me! I post it every day, and the rewards just keep coming in, right?

Hmm, I still don't know what his rejection mechanism is?

Lu Chen stroked his chin. His system didn't unbind the other party for every acceptance; it required a trigger.

It's like when Sister Xiaorou accepts her own confession, triggering the unbinding mechanism.

He only figured this out after spending so much time with Ye Xiu. After all, Ye Xiu didn't refuse Lu Chen for everything. For example, he would help carry the trash or hand over something, and that didn't trigger the unbinding.

Lu Chen pondered that it must be something like taking over Lord Grim, but he didn't know what the trigger mechanism of this great god Zhang Jiale was.

We need to avoid some landmines.

Lu Chen glanced at his phone. As expected, Zhang Jiale hadn't added him. Just as he was about to put his phone away, a message came through.

Movie buddy: [Nice seats, huh?]

Lu Chen's expression was slightly complicated, as his good mood after just binding with a new user turned somewhat complicated: [Great location!]

Movie-watching companion: [That's good.]

AAA Street Wanderer Xiao Lu: [Thank you so much, Sister Ying! How about we go out for a meal so I can thank you in person?]

Chu Yunxiu, who was smoking in the smoking room, smiled and said, "No need, we're busy later, and we have things to do tomorrow. Maybe next time."

When the reward arrived in his account, Lu Chen happily turned off his phone, and the complicated feelings disappeared.

I scanned a QR code on a shared bike and leisurely rode towards the hotel.

My girlfriend said she went back with Sister Chen Guo.

As for Brother Ye—Brother Ye has gone missing.

[Damn it, Xiao Chen, you're so unfair!] As soon as she entered, Su Muqiu rushed over with a dark face and started berating Lu Chen: [You really won't help me at all!]

"There's nothing I can do, Brother Muqiu." Lu Chen shrugged. "What can I do? I can't expect Brother Ye to bring the account card, can I? Besides, didn't I turn on your computer when I left?"

"Tsk—Hmm? You seem to be in a pretty good mood. Did something good happen?" Su Muqiu asked with some curiosity.

"Sort of? I ran into a celebrity on my way back, Zhang Jiale, you know him, right?"

[Hiss, don't go out tomorrow, come watch the live stream with me at the hotel.] Su Muqiu was taken aback at first, then gasped, a hint of pity in his eyes.

Lu Chen was stunned: "Huh?"

[Zhang Jiale is the league's number one unlucky guy, haven't you heard of Zhang Sanya?]

Lu Chen pondered for a moment: "Would it help if I took a shower now?"

I think it's risky —

"Huh? Taking a shower? Is Xiao Lu going to sleep?" Ye Xiu looked at Lu Chen with some confusion. He had just opened the hotel room door and turned to look at him: "The landlady said she's going out to eat."

"Hmm? Is Xiao Chen feeling unwell?" Tang Rou walked in with a frown.

"Hmm, how about we just order takeout?" Chen Guo asked from outside.

"Uh, it's nothing, it's just that I ran into Senior Zhang Jiale while I was looking for a bicycle outside." Lu Chen chuckled twice.

"Holy crap, Zhang Jiale?! Really?" Chen Guo couldn't help but widen her eyes. "Is it that Zhang Jiale from 'Dazzling Flowers'?"

"It can't be wrong." Lu Chen nodded.

"Did you fall or what?" Tang Rou walked in with some concern, looking Lu Chen up and down. "How could you be so careless—"

"Uh, I ran into Zhang Jiale. I should definitely take a shower to get rid of the bad luck." Ye Xiu nodded thoughtfully.

"?" Tang Rou looked bewildered, clearly not having realized what was happening.

"Zhang Jiale, the league's number one ammunition specialist, his strength in Season 7 should be considered the best in the league. His ammunition specialist playstyle, whether at close or long range, is truly domineering. It's a pity, Sanya." Ye Xiu sighed, sat down in front of the computer, inserted his account card, and casually opened Glory: "Boss lady, we're not going out today, right?"

"You started this as soon as you got back?!"

"Leveling up, huh?

Achoo! Achoo!

Zhang Jiale, still stuck in traffic, sneezed three times in a row and rubbed his nose in a daze.

"Thinking, cursing, and catching a cold—looks like someone's talking about you behind your back." The driver glanced in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but laugh. "Speaking of which, buddy, what's this called—a cosplay makeup look? Is it a copy of that... something something Le?"

Oh, Zhang Jiale!

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Jiale smiled. "Master knows about this too?"

"My daughter likes it, and sometimes she comes along to watch," the driver chuckled. "But Zhang Jiale doesn't allow imitations; my daughter says he's very unlucky—"

Zhang Jiale, who had been all smiles, suddenly stopped and looked out the window.

First you started talking about me, then you started criticizing me, and then you caught a cold – that's you talking about me behind my back, isn't it? And that little girl! She's definitely a hater, absolutely!

Zhang Jiale looked out the window. He had only bought a ticket for today and planned to check out the current situation of the professional league.

In his seventh season, due to long-term pressure and exhaustion, he made the decision to retire. However, more than half a year later...

I realized I still can't forget the glory.

Unforgettable — the champion.

Initially, he wanted to carry on his grandson's legacy and win a championship, but now, the championship has become his obsession, and also—a nightmare.

Choose a team that can win the championship.

Tiny Herb, Blue Rain, Tyranny, Samsara —

Zhang Jiale looked at the reflection outside the window.

By the time I got back to my hotel, it was already past midnight. I didn't turn on the hotel lights, and sat on the bed for a while, letting my thoughts wander.

Not long after, the phone rang. Zhang Jiale was slightly startled and picked it up.

[Xiao Lu, a street hustler, requests to become your friend.]

[Request a message: Address ————]

Zhang Jiale's lips twitched. That seemingly sunny and handsome guy turned out to be a cunning schemer!

Zhang Jiale refused with a dark expression, collapsed onto the bed, looked out the window, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

Judging from his furrowed brow, he didn't sleep very well.

It seems the conversation next door is a bit too loud.

The second day of All-Star Weekend is the day that players are most looking forward to.

Today's event mainly involved All-Star players drawing lucky audience members to participate in various Honor of Kings mini-games.

The mini-games are secondary; the most important thing is being able to play mini-games with the All-Star players—that's what everyone is most looking forward to.

Xu Boyuan originally thought so too, but starting from December 3rd, he realized how naive that idea was.

Xu Boyuan is a veteran Honor of Kings player who once dreamed of becoming a professional player. However, the reality is somewhat cruel. Although he has some talent, it is not enough for him to become a formal professional player.

Therefore, he chose to become a professional player in another sense, and he is considered a relatively famous player in the entire God's Domain.

The ID is 【蓝桥春雪】, and the ID in the tenth district is 【蓝河】.

Looking at the excited expressions of the audience around him, Lan He still carried a hint of disillusionment with the world—how naive!

-

He hadn't originally planned to come, but his boss, Chunyi, gave him a package ticket, saying that he had been working hard and under a lot of pressure lately, so he should go out and relax. His friend Biyanfei would cover for him for the next few days. Huang Shaotian also enthusiastically invited him to come along. Lanhe wasn't the kind of person who would be out of place, so let's just call it a publicly funded trip.

Look forward to it, look forward to it—once you get to know them better, you'll realize that idols are better off staying on a pedestal. If they were to actually come down and share the joy with the people, not everyone could handle it.

Yes, Lanhe is subtly referring to a certain retired fighting god, the Glory Encyclopedia—
