Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

Otherwise, something terrible will happen.

Having no other option, William stepped in to lighten the mood, saying, "By the way, Miss Jing, I heard that the participant the Court of Life had originally chosen for this competition was supposed to be someone else. Why was the person changed halfway through?"

Upon hearing this, Jing's eyes darkened slightly.

He seemed to be displeased.

"...Ahem, Miss Jing, I'm not questioning your abilities, I'm just simply puzzled."

William forced a smile and said, "I've heard some rumors that the participant sent by the court this time was supposed to be a student of the Fourth Vice Chief Judge. The other party's name is Yu Xuezhao, born in node C04, and is from the same hometown as our Immortal Venerable... well, he is."

"It's quite a coincidence that I met this Miss Yu once before at node G06. We even got into a group fight together back then."

"Does Miss Jing know this Miss Yu? You are both outstanding young talents in the court, so you must have a good relationship in private, right?"

Upon hearing this, before Jing could respond, Monroe glanced at William with surprise.

He was a little surprised that the other party had such connections.

The Fourth Vice-Chancellor is a god-level player within the Court of Life, second only to the Chancellor in strength.

The other side has a more resounding name—the destroyer of a nation… No one usually dares to call them that.

Surprisingly, William knew this star student...

the other side.

Jing's gaze grew increasingly gloomy.

This made William realize that he had stepped on a landmine.

The relationship between the Silent Demon and Yu Xue Zhao in private is probably terrible!

He quickly changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Miss Jing, before I set off here, the Immortal Venerable found me and asked me to pass on a message to you—the Immortal Venerable said that after this competition is over, if you have time, Miss Jing, please come visit her. She misses you a little..."

While he was speaking, Jing kept looking at him with a gloomy expression.

He felt a chill run down his spine, fearing that this demon might suddenly launch a vicious and ruthless assassination attempt on him.

Judging from the rumors about the Silent Demon... it's entirely possible that the other party would actually do such a thing!

Your Excellency is being far too difficult for him!

How is he supposed to create a lively atmosphere when faced with such arrogant people who are too lazy to even talk to them?

Fortunately... he's lied quite a bit in his life, so he's quite eloquent.

After awkwardly chatting for more than ten minutes, he forced himself to suppress the psychological pressure and concluded the "welcome banquet" with a few words: "Miss Jing, there are quite a few powerful players participating in this competition. According to the rumors I've heard, even the most valued candidate for leader of the Fire Worship Cult has come."

"With so many powerful figures gathering at node D05, the situation here is bound to become increasingly complex. We need to make some preparations in advance."

"Please rest assured, I will arrange everything in advance. You just need to focus on the battle."

"By the way, we've been on the train for so long to get here, Miss Jing, you must be a little tired. Why don't you... go and rest for a bit?"

Upon hearing this, Jing didn't wait half a day to respond this time. It was as if she had been waiting for these words. She nodded slightly to William, gave Monroe a deep look, and then disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this, William and Monroe both breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, we got rid of this evil spirit.

Although the look in the other party's eyes when they left was a bit scary, but... judging from the rumored style of the Silent Demon, as long as they didn't take action on the spot, it means that everything is fine.

However… William thought about how he would have to go through many more situations like today, and his relaxed mood immediately turned bitter again.

Depend on!

So how exactly did this kind of demon get past the Life Tribunal's review mechanism?

Just because she's the youngest daughter of the court master doesn't mean we should give this pervert the green light all the way, right?

at the same time.

Jing, back in the luxurious room prepared by Monroe, let out a soft breath, her slightly anxious and tense mind finally relaxing.

I can finally be alone.

She was almost scared to death just now.

But leaving without permission would be very impolite, so she had to wait until the meeting was over before she could leave... Fortunately, William didn't linger for too long.

Speaking of which... if my sister clearly knows that she speaks slowly, why did she send someone with such a fast pace to assist her?

She was pondering how to answer the previous question in a way that would make her seem friendly and not arrogant, unapproachable, or difficult to get along with. She had already come up with dozens of possible answers in her mind and was choosing which one to use when the other person called her name and urged her to answer quickly. This made her a little flustered and anxious... So why was the other person in such a hurry?

In this respect, the courtroom's own partner, Monroe, did a very good job—when Monroe first gave her an inquiring look, she didn't rush her to answer or anything, but patiently waited for her to finish thinking about how to respond.

Even though she ultimately couldn't choose a way to answer and could only respond with a nod, Monroe didn't say anything and simply accepted it. His expression remained unchanged, clearly indicating that he didn't blame her—what a kind person.

So when she left, she gave Monroe a grateful look, and he must have felt her kindness.

I hope I can make another friend through this opportunity.

She has few friends.

I don't know why, but people who have spent time with her are not very willing to continue getting to know her or develop a friendship with her.

To date, among the younger generation, only Sister Tina is willing to be her friend and open up to her.

Moreover, negative rumors about her always circulate within the court. She has investigated these rumors, but has been unable to find the root cause.

She asked her older sister Tina, who said that to resolve this matter, she needed to go to her father, and bluntly stated that her father was a complete old bastard...

She always took Tina's advice very seriously, so she went to see her father. Her father told her that one should live for oneself and not pay attention to other people's gossip. Just live your own life well. He also said that rumors stop with the wise and that people who believe these rumors and stay away from her are idiots. She is a normal person and has no need to have any interaction with idiots.

Ultimately, she was persuaded by her father's philosophical words.

This matter is over.

Lying on the bed, Jing relaxed slightly and regained her original appearance—transformed from a young girl into a mature and beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure and long legs, exuding a strong attraction from head to toe.

Her slightly aloof expression and somewhat sharp eyes, combined with her exquisite face, created a strong sense of asceticism.

Jing stretched slightly, her tight-fitting clothes slipping up a bit, revealing part of her slender waist, its exquisite curves making people's imaginations run wild.

Unfortunately, there was no one else present, so no one could enjoy this sight.

Even the most audacious person wouldn't dare to spy on the Silent Demon.

As for why the Silent Demon presents herself as a young girl...

Jing recalled her conversation with her sister Tina before she left.

"Want to make friends with the opposite sex? Have you asked that old jerk yet?"

Before she could figure out how to answer, Tina continued, "Never mind, there's no point in asking. You want to make friends with the opposite sex, but your criteria are rather strict... Oh, I happen to know someone who fits the bill."

"Xiaoyu is busy and can't get away, so you'll take her place in the S-rank item battle."

"When you meet the most formidable competitor, tell him that his teacher has given him a task: to become friends with you."

She paused, then reminded him, "Your current body won't work. You need to shrink down and go there as a young girl. That way, he'll give you more face."

After her thoughts returned from her memories, Jing silently began to imagine the relationship between the person Tina had mentioned and Tina herself.

In a very short time, she had imagined the contents of several melodramatic romance novels.

Girls who are quiet don't necessarily have a low desire to communicate; it could be because they overthink things and struggle with how to express themselves. As an extreme example of this type, Jing has a very rich inner life.

Unfortunately, very few people are able to discover this.

"What kind of friends will I make...?"

Jing, lying on the bed, murmured something softly.

She'd rather make friends than steal S-rank items.

……

300 districts surrounding the central urban area.

Yuta City.

Southern suburbs.

A historic manor is located here.

Its name is Baihua Manor. It is a private property, but it has been open to the public for many years and is a well-known tourist attraction.

Few people know that this is actually one of the strongholds of the superorganism One Wing at node D05.

At that moment, the owner of the manor respectfully received a man dressed in an elegant long suit.

The man had a tall stature, a handsome face, and his eyebrows gave off a noble air that belonged only to elites.

His name is God Bless.

They are the conservative faction of One Wing, and the S-rank players they sent to participate in the battle.

The owner of the manor was naturally a member of the conservative faction, and his name was Yunus.

Yunus reported the latest developments in the battle to Shenyou and asked if Shenyou should make a move now and grab the S-rank item first.

Shenyou rejected the suggestion: "If we try to snatch it now, we'll be targeted by the other seeded players."

"At this stage, it can only be considered a small skirmish; it's not time to start the final battle yet."

"Let's wait, wait for the S-rank item to arrive at node D05, wait for the first person to lose patience to make their move, wait for all the people hiding in the shadows to show up..."

At this point, a cold smile appeared on his lips: "Then it will be my turn to make my move."

"Entering so late, won't we be at a disadvantage?" Yunus reminded, "Although Node D is relatively underdeveloped, it is still one of the leading nodes and has no shortage of experienced S-level players. The top players here are likely to make a move early to grab items and then bring them into their own S-level dungeons, using their home-field advantage to deal with other contenders."

There are precedents for this.

Although the contenders don't need to worry about anyone bringing items into the dungeon and then frequently opening the dungeon to delay the time until the one-year broadcast period ends and the S-level item officially unlocks all restrictions—this kind of cheating behavior will be limited by the evolved game through the maximum adjustment of the time flow rate. No matter how much time has passed in the dungeon, it will only be one day outside.

However, using the home-field advantage in a dungeon to deal with other competitors is not considered cheating.

On node D, there are top-tier S-level players—those who have achieved 100% evolution rate and completed S-level dungeons.

Within node D, connecting to the S-level replica here is not a problem.

Top-tier S-rank players from other letter nodes don't have this privilege—S-rank dungeons can't cross the entire spacetime convergence point to connect to another convergence point.

Unless you're like a god-level player, using your godhood to house instances and carrying your instances around.

But this is a paradox—the prerequisite for becoming a god-level player is to first obtain an S-level item and become a super player.

"Ah……"

Shenyou sneered, his smile filled with powerful confidence: "S-rank dungeons basically all have the function of restricting the use of items."

"If none of the contenders can use their items, I, who possess the most psionic energy, will have a significant advantage."

"I do hope that someone would actually do such a thing. As for S-rank dungeons..."

A sneer flashed in his eyes as he said, "S-rank dungeons also come in different difficulty levels. High-difficulty S-rank dungeons are one of the backup plans created by 'God' to counter the game company. These dungeons cannot be controlled by players. They are mostly concentrated in the Ghost Sea region, a place that even players with divine status are reluctant to approach."

"The S-level dungeons controlled by players are not that ridiculously difficult."

"Moreover, many powerful figures have come to this battle. If someone dares to replicate history and do such a thing..."

The coldness in his smile deepened.

Shoot the first bird.

Everyone is competing fairly, but you're pulling this stunt... When the veteran S-level players unite, and even the hidden super players might join in, they might just destroy an S-level dungeon.

I'd love to see someone brave enough to do something like this.

At that time, he will also be able to have some fun.

Yunus asked, "Then...should we hold back for now?"

"I will make my move once all the other seeded players have entered the game."

Shenyou said, "I have applied for the 'Sealing Boundary' device from the organization. This thing is more useful when there are many people."

"The reformists on Zhuangyan's side did not send any players to participate in the competition. They must know that our faction has a huge advantage in the S-level player field, and they have no chance of winning, so they simply abstained."

"Without the interference of reformers, the S-level players of other super organizations, once 'sealed off,' would be no match for us One Wing members."

A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he said, "Over the years, One Wing has devoted himself to studying the secrets of psychic energy, and has achieved remarkable results."

"Other organizations, however, have been resting on their laurels, enjoying the protection of veteran players with divine status, and have been complacent and rotten to the core!"

"My real goal in this battle is to make the name of One Wing resound throughout the entire Evolution Game once again! S-rank items are just byproducts."
