Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

"Shunzi." "No." "No."

"A perfect match." "No." "No."

"I only have one card left, a pair." "I can't play." "I can't play."

"three."

Wang Yi put down his phone and clicked his tongue in boredom.

Having finally found some free time, and having completed both my study and cultivation tasks, I impulsively decided to play a few rounds of Dou Dizhu (a card game). I kept winning, but it wasn't very interesting.

As Wang Yi used brainstorming more and more, his memory improved significantly, and remembering and counting cards became child's play for him.

Of course, Wang Yi's grades have improved a lot, and under his precise control, he has maintained a B grade.

From being a disciple of E, to becoming a disciple of D, and finally becoming the sharp-witted B of today.

It's good, but not top-notch.

He was already the best in the school in terms of martial arts, but he still had to leave some room for everyone in terms of culture; this was the middle way.

"Brother E!" Qi Xiaohao rushed in through the door in a flurry: "Hurry up..."

"Xiao Hao!" Wang Yi sat up straight, his expression serious, and said solemnly, "The results were announced yesterday. As you know, my final grades were pretty good. I've long since shed my status as a slacker. Things are different now. The nickname 'Brother E' can retire with honor."

"Then... Brother B?" Qi Xiaohao scratched his head and asked tentatively.

Wang Yi hesitated, then stopped, then started again, finally deflated like a punctured inflatable doll, and said helplessly, "Fine... just call me whatever you used to call me."

Qi Xiaohao chuckled twice and continued the conversation from before they entered: "Brother E, let's hurry up, the opening ceremony is only two hours away!"

"Okay, what's the rush? There are still two hours." Wang Yi put away his phone and got up from the sofa. "Let's go."

Qi Xiaohao looked Wang Yi up and down: "Wait, Brother E, for such an important opening ceremony, you're wearing this?"

Wang Yi glanced down at himself. His newly bought sneakers, which he had only worn for two months and were just past the break-in period, were very comfortable.

These simple cropped sweatpants, a new purchase from last year, are paired with a matching short-sleeved T-shirt. Made of ice silk, they were washed clean yesterday and I just put them on today, bringing a touch of coolness to the sweltering summer.

So Wang Yi looked up and asked, "What's the problem? Don't I wear this all the time?"

"Brother, dear brother, you're going to wear this to the unveiling?" Qi Xiaohao couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Wang Yi pointed to the large letters on the short-sleeved T-shirt: "Brand, Ban Ni Lu, you know what I mean?"

"How much does this brand cost?" Qi Xiaohao asked, glancing at him sideways.

"I bought it online for 19.9 yuan with free shipping, but the sneakers were a bit cheaper, 199 yuan," Wang Yi honestly said. "It's not cheap when you add it all up."

"Brother E, you've got a few million in your pocket now, can you stop being so stingy?" Qi Xiaohao dragged Wang Yi towards his apartment across the street. "Wearing this outfit in front of everyone in Lanling City, you're not ashamed, but I am."

Qi Xiaohao dragged Wang Yi to his home, took a couple of breaths, chuckled, and called out, "Aunt Liu, bring the props."

Wang Yi then realized that there were already many familiar faces sitting in Qi Xiaohao's living room. In addition to their small group, there were also the siblings July and August, as well as Jiang Yingying, Dai Lan, and Ren Ming.

"Surprise!" Jiang Yingying greeted Wang Yi with a smile.

Wang Yi was indeed somewhat surprised. After greeting everyone, Aunt Liu, one of Qi Xiaohao's housekeepers, came out pushing a clothes rack with a dozen or so outfits hanging on it, mostly formal wear.

"Personalized customization." Qi Xiaohao put his hands on his hips, raised his chin, and revealed a smug smile: "Luckily, I was prepared. Brother E, pick one to change into."

Wang Yi casually flipped through the clothes on the hanger, feeling the comfort emanating from his fingertips, and knew that the material was of very high quality.

"Wearing this in the middle of summer would be unbearably hot," Wang Yi muttered, but still chose an outfit.

After choosing his clothes, Wang Yi also selected leather shoes and a belt. As for a watch, since Wang Yi always wore the watch that belonged to the Night Watchmen, Qi Xiaohao didn't prepare one.

"Hurry up and change, there's not much time left." Qi Xiaohao pushed Wang Yi into the changing room.

A few minutes later, Wang Yi emerged looking completely refreshed.

Wang Yi was originally a 1.8-meter-tall clothes hanger. Although his figure wasn't particularly muscular, it was well-proportioned, which didn't match his brute strength and exaggerated weight at all. Now that he had changed into a formal suit, Wang Yi's temperament appeared much more composed.

It's true that clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse.

After changing clothes, everyone went into the underground parking garage, chose a limousine, and headed to Blue Dome Plaza.

Traffic congestion had already begun before we even got close to the Blue Dome Plaza building. Fortunately, we found staff on duty to guide us, and we were finally able to get Qi Xiaohao's vehicle in.

After parking the car, Qi Xiaohao and the others went to reserve seats, while Wang Yi was taken away alone.

As the staff walked into the backstage area of ​​the unveiling ceremony, the stagehands rushed up to them anxiously: "Brother Wang, my dear Brother Wang, you've finally arrived!"

Wang Yi smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I was delayed for a while."

I should have known better than to play those few rounds of Landlord.

"It's alright, it's alright, there's still time." The stagehand hurriedly waved his hand, then pulled out a coat hanger: "Let's change first..."

Upon seeing Wang Yi's clothes, the stagehand stopped talking and couldn't help but step forward to wipe them.

The fabric and workmanship are far superior to the formal attire they provided.

Wang Yi quietly retreated. The stagehand, dressed in a rather trendy style, came up and touched him. To be honest, Wang Yi was a little scared.

Noticing Wang Yi's actions, the stage manager gave an awkward laugh, then looked him over, pushed the clothes rack away, and called over a stylist to give Wang Yi a quick haircut.

Not long after preparations were completed, the voice of Meng Fanjin, the mayor of Lanling City, rang out from among the numerous loudspeakers set up around the area:

"One year ago today, a spatial rift suddenly descended upon our Lanling City, right beneath our Blue Dome Square. Monsters roared in amidst the frost and snow, eager to devour people and gnaw on bones."

"Magic roars, the building sways, and tens of thousands of citizens in the surrounding area are in imminent danger. At this critical moment of life and death..."

Meng Fanjin's speech seemed to take Wang Yi back to a year ago, when the surging monsters that rushed through the spatial rift brought disaster, but also made Wang Yi's name resound throughout Lanling City for the first time, bringing him into the sights of the military and China.

As he listened, Wang Yi became somewhat dazed and couldn't help but scratch his head sheepishly.

Who wrote Mayor Meng's speech? They praised him way too much, practically like a hero.

"Let us once again thank Wang Yi, Yun Xian, and all the law enforcement officers and Fei Peng Army who stepped forward without hesitation during that disaster."

Countless applause and cheers thundered, enough to shake the heavens even without a loudspeaker.

"Next, our hero from Lanling City—Wang Yi—will unveil this bronze statue!"

"Brother Wang, it's your turn to go on stage!" the stage manager whispered to Wang Yi.

As he walked down the passageway out of the backstage area, a sudden bright light caught his eye, causing Wang Yi's tear ducts to well up and making him want to squint.

The arena was filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, the crackling of firecrackers, the fluttering of red flags, and a sea of ​​people.

Upon seeing Wang Yi appear, countless people cheered for him once again, causing Wang Yi to stop instinctively.

Meng Fanjin stepped forward and patted Wang Yi on the shoulder, then led him to the huge building covered with red cloth and handed the rope to Wang Yi.

With a gentle tug, the red cloth fluttered down, revealing a huge bronze statue.

The bronze statue, standing ten meters tall, is a massive structure in the center of the bustling Blue Dome Square.

The bronze statue is an enlarged version of Wang Yi, with a resolute expression, holding a long halberd, and gazing fiercely at the sky, where there was once a huge crack.

Wang Yi stared blankly at the ten-meter-tall bronze statue.

Having been in this world for nearly two years, his story and traces have been completely left in this world.
