Dragon Raja's Number One Player

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

"Linzi, taking out online loans is fine. Everyone needs to be in an emergency sometimes, as long as it's not for online gambling..."

Li Zhi turned his face away, looking earnest and serious.

After listening to him finish speaking, Lin Zhiying finally understood. It turned out that the notification sound on his phone had caused the misunderstanding.

"Old Li, really, I don't."

Lin Zhiying picked up her phone, unlocked the screen, and swiped through the text messages to show him.

"Okay, okay, no problem... You don't need to show me, just tell me how much you want."

Li Zhi waved his hand to decline, but while saying that, his eyes still curiously glanced at the phone a few times.

"Bank account received: 6 yuan."

"Bank account received: 30 yuan"

…………

"etc."

Li Zhi grabbed Lin Zhiying's phone. "Why are there so many transfers? Have you been illegally raising funds?!"

Lin Zhiying rubbed his forehead and said with a wry smile:

"Can't you think of me in a better light? It's all about online gambling and illegal fundraising. Am I really that unlike a good person?"

Li Zhi was a little embarrassed by the question. He slapped the back of his head, rubbed his hair, and gave an awkward smile before speaking:

"I'm just worried you'll go astray. You're smart, you have to stay on the right path, otherwise you'll just be causing trouble for our country."

"Don't worry, it's perfectly legal. It's just some writing."

Lin Zhiying knew that Li Zhi was acting out of concern, so she didn't pursue the matter further.

The car re-entered the main road.

"Oh, by the way, I actually have something else to ask you today. Have you heard of the game 'Dragon Raja: New World'?"

Li Zhi asked casually as he drove.

Lin Zhiying was a little puzzled as to why he would ask this, but then she immediately understood.

Today is the release date for the second batch of game helmets from Xuanyu Company. In his previous life, it was around this time that Li Zhi dragged him into the hobby.

"I know, it's not some groundbreaking masterpiece, I heard it's sold out."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi sighed softly.

As a "gaming guru," he has been keeping a close eye on various platforms and the latest game releases.

Whether it's a masterpiece or a piece of garbage, he'll buy it immediately to taste its saltiness.

If all else fails, it can still be used as "live stream material" to entertain guests.

Even so, he missed out on the first batch of game helmets for "Dragon Raja: New World". Seeing other people's sharing online, his teeth felt like they were about to break from the sourness.

Today, Xuanyu Company's second batch of game helmets was also released, and this time the quantity was quite large.

They also launched a special version with live streaming capabilities as a non-sale item, which was obtained through a lottery, except for major game streamers.

He had just drawn one, so he drove to Hongxia City overnight.

"Let's go to the store first. You like playing games too, right? You can buy one too. I'll show you around."

Li Zhi said.

"I already have it," Lin Zhiying thought to himself, but outwardly he nodded.

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

Xuanyu Company's so-called exclusive store is located on the first floor of the mall. You can tell how wealthy and powerful they are by the fact that they have booked an entire half floor.

Upon entering the mall, a huge promotional poster immediately catches the eye, hanging down from the third floor.

It was none other than the main characters: Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, and Caesar.

"Damn, that's handsome."

Li Zhi stared at the poster for a long time, gesturing wildly before finally uttering these words.

Below the poster is Xuanyu Company's specialty store, with many character standees along the way, all of them well-known characters from the game.

The one on the left is Nono, and the one on the right is Erii...

All the female characters here have one thing in common: they have white legs, big breasts, and are very attractive, except for Xia Mi, of course.

The store was packed with people, even in the afternoon.

"Everyone, please be quiet! Our store is launching a special event. Defeat the boss to receive various rewards!"

On the exhibition stand, the host, dressed as Chu Zihang, held a microphone and spoke enthusiastically.

Behind him was a huge screen displaying rewards in sequence, ranging from the latest gaming pods to exquisite gifts.

A winged figure descended from the sky, shaking the screen. The figure, with a gloomy expression, appeared on the screen.

There was also a subtitle explaining that this was Herzog in his White form.

"Her life or death is in my hands."

A sarcastic smile played on his lips as his dragon-transformed hand gripped Erii's pale neck tightly.

"Want to save her? Then defeat me, you ants!"

The cinematic visuals, reminiscent of a movie CG sequence, drew everyone in the venue into the experience.

"Dry him to death!"

"Damn it, you just wait!"

"Waaaah, please, please let Erii go, I'll beg you..."

The emotions of everyone in the hall were stirred up.

"Watch how I kill you!"

Li Zhi also put himself in that situation and said fiercely.

"Come on, Linzi, let's sign up too, just to join in the fun."

Soon, Lin Zhiying received her hand card, number 9, from a very pretty cosplay girl, while Li Zhi received number 11.

The specially made gaming helmets for the experience were located at the back of the venue; there were only eight of them, so they were placed right next to Lin Zhiying as a partition.

He was actually happy to see it happen, as it would give him a chance to see how other players played and get some information in advance.

Since many people at the event did not have game accounts, the game helmets all had built-in game accounts.

You can choose three A-level Words of Power, and all elemental affinities have been raised to 30 points.

Of course, if you have a game account, you can use your own account directly.

A live feed appeared on the big screen, and the numbers on it indicated that he was player number one.

In the vast city ruins, Player One appeared. As he passed through one of the ruins, he retrieved a rocket launcher from a crate.

"Wait, how come there's a rocket launcher?! Didn't we get through in no time? It's a rigged operation, it must be a rigged operation!"

Seeing this, Li Zhi, who was standing next to him, complained.

Others in the room agreed, saying that no matter what, no carbon-based organism could withstand a rocket launcher.

Lin Zhiying remained silent. For the Dragon King, rocket launchers were nothing; he could probably withstand even nuclear bombs.

However, as an offline event, the difficulty level is unlikely to be set that high.

It depends on the values ​​provided by Xuanyu Company.

In the scene, Player One received the rocket launcher and a look of joy appeared on his face. He crawled through the ruins and slowly approached Herzog, then pulled the trigger.

The rocket launcher flew out rapidly, leaving a long trail of flame. Herzog didn't react until the rocket launcher was almost upon him.

"Bang!"

A huge explosion was heard, and smoke filled the entire screen.

"He must be dead, right?"

"No, there should be a notification if someone dies."

The crowd in the hall was discussing animatedly.

The next moment, a flash of light appeared on the big screen, and the screen instantly turned gray.

"Game level 'Eri's Death' failed!"

Almost at the same time, or a few minutes earlier or later.

All other players' game screens turned gray, and all participants' games were lost!

"What?! Is this a game bug? I didn't even see the monster, how did I die?!"

"Exactly! I only have 1000 HP, but the system is telling me I've taken 5000 damage."

The players who walked out from backstage were all dejected.

Thankfully, the game ends there.

There was no truly disgusting person playing the scene where Herzog snapped Erii's neck.

"Is that all you've got? Like ants?"

In the video, Herzog is seen laughing loudly.

Lin Zhiying pondered the information he had just received; the flash of light that had appeared in that instant was Herzog.

However, this is significantly different from the previous case of being hit by a rocket launcher.

He frowned slightly; there must be some overlooked detail.
