Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

One minute later,

Bai Kang walked out of the game pod looking refreshed.

Wei Long emerged from the gaming pod with a livid expression.

The winner of this competition is...

Dragon!

The two had just gotten very close, and Wei Long casually threw a magnetic bomb, intending to cut off Bai Kang's attack.

Unexpectedly, Bai Kang used a high-speed roll, and the magnetic bomb that was supposed to block the road landed right on Bai Kang's head.

Level 4 armor, if attached to a magnetic bomb, means certain death.

Therefore, Bai Kang had no time to think and had to fight Wei Long to the death, leaving no room for maneuver.

Wei Long noticed immediately that the magnetic bomb had landed on Bai Kang's head, so he quickly used the box as cover, cutting off Bai Kang's two-shot kill attempt.

then……

The magnetic bomb exploded, killing Bai Kang.

The battle at the Red Rat's Nest has ended.

Wei Long defeated Bai Kang by a narrow margin of 4-3, just one point ahead.

The reason why Bai Kang was so cheerful despite losing was because he was quite satisfied with the result.

Reality is reality, and dreams are dreams.

He no longer possesses the invincible one-on-one fighting ability of the Said in his dream; both his reaction time and marksmanship are considerably weaker.

His purpose in visiting Red Rat's Den was to see how far he was from becoming a top-tier demon king.

It seems that the difference is not significant now. Given more time, he is confident that he can defeat everyone!

The reason why Wei Long looked so pale was because he had won by only one point, and the magnetic bomb in the last round was a complete blunder.

It's like Bai Kang willingly accepted his magnetic bomb; the outcome is hard to predict based solely on the results.

"Not bad, Xiao Kangzi, you almost beat Wei Long." Zoya said casually, giving Bai Kang a thumbs up.

Mai Xiaowen comforted her, saying, "It's okay, I believe you can win next time."

Butterfly took Bai Kang's hand and said softly, "You did very well."

Seeing this, Wei Long became even more frustrated.

Won?

Why does it feel like we lost?

Red Wolf walked over to Wei Long and patted him on the shoulder.

"No matter what, you won, didn't you?"

Apart from the two Demon King Guards who cared more about Bai Kang, the other Demon King Guards present actually had very complicated feelings.

If Dragon loses, it won't just be Dragon losing; it means that the top operators in Dragon Country's number one club can't beat a freshman.

If word gets out, the reputation of the Demon King Club will be affected.

Wei Long sighed, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Bro, stop trying to comfort me. Ugh, I'm embarrassing myself."

Uluru said softly, "Well, this is actually a good thing, isn't it?"

Dragon and Red Wolf looked at Uluru in confusion. Uluru laughed and said, "This means the new generation has great potential, so doesn't that mean there's more hope in the warp?"

When it comes to subspace,

Wei Long and Red Wolf were also solemn, their expressions grave.

Unlike Mai Xiaowen and Zoya, the two of them are currently serving in the subspace and are therefore fully aware of the seriousness of the situation in the subspace.

Wei Long nodded slightly, the frustration he had just felt vanishing.

"Yes, the stronger the new generation, the safer the Dragon Kingdom will be. I was being superficial. I shouldn't have been upset because Bai Kang almost beat me."

Between personal feelings and national security, Weilong clearly understood which was more important, and his own selfish thoughts were insignificant.

Mighty dragon, mighty dragon!

His personal qualities are undoubtedly excellent.

He had felt awkward because of Mai Xiaowen, and for a time he harbored resentment towards Bai Kang.

If it were a complete stranger who could rival him right after entering university, Wei Long's first thought would probably be one of relief, a sense of pride in the future of the Dragon Kingdom.

After adjusting his mindset, Wei Long looked at Bai Kang differently. Although he was still depressed, he was more relieved.

Jifeng looked at Bai Kang thoughtfully, then suddenly asked, "Do you think Bai Kang can join that plan?"

Everyone was taken aback. Ululu stroked her chin. "That's possible. Let's see what the higher-ups decide."

As he spoke, he slapped Bitt on the shoulder and said with a grin:

"Little Bit, maybe Bai Kang really can join the project with you? Tsk tsk, entering the subspace before even graduating, he has a bright future ahead of him."

Bit said honestly, "When we enter the subspace, we'll need your help, seniors."

"Hahaha, no problem, no problem at all." Uluru laughed heartily. "Too bad, if Little Bit's skills could be used for outdoor combat, I would definitely invite you to join my bridge-blocking squad!"

……

After some casual conversation

Bai Kang added the contact information for these Demon King's guards.

What troubled him was that Gale seemed very interested in him, nodding at him from time to time as if he had found a satisfactory toy.

Luna kept a subtle distance from him, as if afraid he would utter the words "little cat."

Red Wolf was friendly to him, Uluru was enthusiastic towards him, and Bit was also curious about him, but as for Dragon... he was rather indifferent to him.

After parting ways with the group,

Bai Kang and his friends decided to have hot pot. They found a well-known hot pot restaurant near Mianyue University and booked a private room.

……

As the steam rises, the beef rolls are cooked through, releasing a wonderful aroma.

Bai Kang had just picked up a piece of meat when he keenly noticed two pairs of eyes looking at him.

Oops……

Bai Kang sensed something was wrong, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Die's expectant gaze and Mai Xiaowen's calm look.

The two of them remained silent, staring at Bai Kang and waiting for him to make a choice.

Damn! This feels like a chaotic battlefield!

Butterfly stared intently at Bai Kang, her small hands clenched tightly in her sleeves, indicating her nervousness.

Will Bai Kang give me the first piece of meat? I'd be happy to give it to Sister Xiaomai too, but I still want it...

Mai Xiaowen stared at Bai Kang calmly, seemingly indifferent, but in reality, she was on tenterhooks.

Bai Kang... you'd better let me make a choice that satisfies me.

Although her attitude towards Bai Kang was complicated due to her own reasons, who wouldn't want their boyfriend to give them the first piece of meat?

Bai Kang appeared calm, but inside he was panicking.

Ugh, both are my flesh and blood, how can I choose?

"Is the meat ready?" Zoya's eyes were glued to the hot pot, completely oblivious to the silent battle raging on the other side.

Bai Kang's eyes lit up, and he quickly placed the hot, fatty beef roll in his hand into Zoya's bowl.

"Alright, alright, the young lady must have a taste of this first piece of meat."

Zoya blinked and said in surprise, "Kangzi is really on point today, not bad, not bad."

She devoured the beef roll in her bowl, her eyes lighting up, and mumbled incoherently:

"It's so delicious! I love this hot pot place the most."

Noticing that the two gazes had disappeared, Bai Kang breathed a sigh of relief, gave himself a thumbs up for his quick thinking, and said with a smile:

"It's delicious, I'll eat more later."

As he spoke, he picked up another piece of meat, and was about to take a bite...

In that instant, two pairs of eyes fell on him again.

Bai Kang: ...
