Dragon Raja's Number One Player

..........................................

Lin Chih-ying has to admit that her "one-cut approach" was impulsive; the best approach with this kind of person is to ignore them.

However, since he trusts me so much, I should at least show him some respect.

If things were to proceed exactly as described in the original story, it's hard to say whether I could defeat Lu Mingfei.

But this "Freedom Day" is very different, and I have already made a lot of preparations, so I can definitely try to compete for first place.

....................................

The next day, when they announced that school was officially starting, Lu Mingfei hurriedly got up.

He sensed that the people around him were walking strangely, in a hurry, as if something big was about to happen.

Even Fingel, who rarely gets up early, is now eating a sandwich with bacon, which was of course paid for by Lu Mingfei.

The most outrageous thing was that Lu Mingfei noticed that even while eating, the person opposite him would frequently look at their watch.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask Finger with some curiosity, "Senior, what's going on today? I feel like the atmosphere at school is a bit strange."

Fingel stuffed the bacon sandwich in his hand into his mouth in one bite, then licked his fingers with lingering satisfaction.

"I'll tell you in exchange for a late-night snack."

Lu Mingfei now has some savings.

Moreover, when Professor Guderian contacted him before, he said that he would not only reduce his tuition fees, but also help him apply for the highest level of scholarships, so he was relatively well-off and agreed without hesitation.

"Because today is 'Freedom Day,' these people are hiding from the students who are about to go crazy."

Finger naturally took Lu Mingfei's orange juice and drank half a glass.

"Freedom Day, what is that? An election?"

Lu Mingfei was a little puzzled. He had heard that foreign schools sometimes had some strange activities.

"It's much more fun than that, you'll see in a minute."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fingel seemed to notice something and quickly grabbed the orange juice and hid under the table.

Lu Mingfei was taken aback at first, but he followed him down.

Soon, through the table leg, a pair of black military boots came into his view. Just as he was about to speak, Fingel immediately covered his mouth.

He pointed to the other side, where a pair of the same style of military boots, but in red, appeared.

The two of them held their breath and gestured their names under the table.

"Damn it, why is Freedom Day here so early!"

Finger's fingers flew across the screen; it was unexpected that he actually knew sign language.

"Abba aba".

Lu Mingfei gestured, pointing to the left and then to the right.

Meanwhile, such groups appeared in various parts of the campus, confronting each other.

Beneath the statue in the square, Chu Zihang gently polished "Muramasa" with knife oil.

On the other side, Caesar, as if in deep meditation, slowly opened his eyes after a moment, his gaze searching for something in the crowd.

Nono, who was also wearing a black combat suit beside him, knew that Caesar was looking for Lin Zhiying.

"Does that mean he's given up?"

Caesar sighed, his tone tinged with regret.

Not only him, but other players are also looking for it; everyone is just enjoying the spectacle.

I want to see how Lin Chih-ying will perform according to yesterday's bet.

But to everyone's surprise, they realized that they hadn't seen Lin Zhiying since early morning.

"See? If you ask me, he's a coward. He knew he couldn't win, so he ran away beforehand."

"Whispertop" made outrageous remarks on the world channel.

Many people retorted to him, but because Lin Zhiying was indeed not present, he was always slightly outmatched in terms of momentum.

"clang!"

Suddenly, a melodious bell rang out, as if it had traveled through space and rang directly in everyone's ears; the bell rang only once.

Although everything around them was still on campus, everyone vaguely sensed that something was different.

"Holy crap, look what's that?"

One player exclaimed, pointing to the sky.

The others looked up at the sound.

Everyone saw a black moon hanging in the sky, and the light around them, which was no different from sunlight, was emanating from this black moon.

Just as everyone was still wondering, a familiar voice came over the loudspeaker.

"Ahem, there are a lot of new students today. For this year's 'Freedom Day,' I want to try something different."

Principal Angers began to speak.

"Next, each of the three student representatives can state one rule."

"The rules of choice are not applied to individuals, but to all people."

What kind of student representative?

The person was completely bewildered. Shouldn't they be engaging in a gunfight right away?

What's going on here?

However, some players are very excited about this, saying that it's more fun when it's different.

You can guess how it differs from watching a movie.

But now the question is, who is the student representative?

As the presidents of the Teachers' Heart Association and the Student Union, Caesar and Chu Zihang are undoubtedly two of the student representatives. So who is the last one?

Just as they were wondering, many top players heard this notification sound.

"Ding! Day of Freedom has begun. Based on your previous gains, your Day of Freedom weight will now be calculated."

The numbers following the question will vary from person to person; some people will have more, and some will have less.

This is how student representatives are selected from among the players; the one with the higher weight score wins.

"In that case, let's all post our scores."

"Lan Mengtian" suggested, and he took the lead in sending his score, which was 15 points.

"Five-second hand speed" followed closely behind, with 10 points.

"One Cut Cuts Water" checks his own weight points, which are 20 points. This is based on his level and other accumulated points from before.

After the line was closed, most of the top players posted their scores.

"20 points, that's practically a 'one-hit kill' for them."

One of the players said.

"Since it's a day of freedom, then you students should decide first. Which of you two will speak?"

Angers began to speak.

"You go first?"

Caesar shrugged and began to speak.

Uncharacteristically, Chu Zihang did not refuse outright, but nodded in agreement:

"I have a question for you today: does what you said apply to everything?"

"Yes, what is said becomes the rule and applies throughout the entire campus area."

Ang Der gave an affirmative answer.

This actually puts their choices to a considerable test.

If it's about enhancement, then according to relativity, if everyone is enhanced, then it's the same as no one being enhanced.

"The rule I'm going to make is this: no one here can cooperate."

The next moment, everyone felt as if an invisible barrier had appeared between them and others. As long as they stayed with them, their health points would continue to decrease, and the longer they stayed, the faster the rate of decrease would be.

The rules that Chu Zihang just mentioned are now in effect.

What does that mean?

Upon hearing Chu Zihang's words, the members of the Lionheart Society expressed their incomprehension.

As the president of the Lionheart Society, shouldn't you make use of such a powerful support from the Lionheart Society?

Isn't it like cutting off your own arm if you can't cooperate with each other?

"Everyone trusts the chairman."

A glint flashed in Lanchester's eyes. What the others said was wrong. If it really came down to cooperation, Chu Zihang was indeed no match for Caesar.

Caesar's leadership skills are beyond question; otherwise, he would not have been able to pull the "Student Council" to a level where it could rival the "Lionheart Society."

However, if it comes to individual combat, Chu Zihang is undoubtedly half a step stronger than Caesar.

Chu Zihang is weakening the opponent while expanding his own advantage!

genius!

In fact, Chu Zihang didn't think that much about it. He just wanted Lin Zhiying to win the final victory and become the "Emperor".

In this situation, both the Lionheart Society and the Student Council would certainly pose obstacles for him.

So he contributed his share in this way.

After he made his choice, the vice principal's voice came through the microphone.

"Glug glug, then I'll just do it the same way. Although this place is special, it's not good to cause too much damage."

"No one here may use words of power."

As the words fell, everyone felt their blood gradually shutting down, and the previously active elements in the air began to repel their bodies; everyone was repelled by this space.

Next up was the student representative, which was Caesar.

"My request is simple: do as I said before, release all firearms today, and everyone here will have a chance to get one."

As he finished speaking, someone noticed something in the sky, which looked like countless parachutes.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that various firearms or parts were strapped to the bottom.

Players commented that the scene looked somewhat familiar.

Sitting at the round table, Angers put his hands behind his back and said, "I want to add to their efforts and give them a little more help."

Then he began to speak:

"Time will slowly stop here."

As he finished speaking, a semi-transparent light screen slowly appeared in the distance.

There was nothing unusual around them, but Caesar and Chu Zihang had a vague feeling that something bad would happen if they came into contact with him.

Then everyone's attention turned to the third student representative.

To the players, it's undoubtedly "one strike to cut through water".

Time passed second by second, and "One Cut Cuts Water" pondered which rule he should choose.

As a player, he definitely wants to maximize the players' interests.

Forget it, this is the simplest and most direct way.

"All players can use Words of Power."

"One cut can sever water," he said.

They can all use Word of Power, which will undoubtedly widen the gap between them and NPCs, making any competition between them an internal matter for the players.

"The third student representative has made her choice."

Angers slowly spoke into the microphone.

But after saying "cutting water with a single stroke," the players found that nothing had happened; they, like the other NPCs, were still being repelled by the elements.

..........................................

I've already spoken with the editor, and it will be available tomorrow. Today is the last day, so those who haven't invested yet can do so one more time.

Moving today was exhausting, so I can only update right on time.

The book will be available tomorrow, so I'll start early, and as I mentioned before, I'll update three times a day. I'll also write a launch message later.
