However, Maple was the darling of the world after all, so she decided right away that since tomorrow was a day off, she might as well camp out there and maybe discover some new skills.

So, Maple came to the northern forest.

She had done some research before coming here, and found out there were two types of monsters:

One type is called the exploding ladybug, which, as the name suggests, is a ladybug that can use self-destruction attacks.

The other type is a frequent visitor to various games - the Goblin.

Then, Maple used the skill [Taunt] to attract the monster.

This time, she deliberately targeted the goblins. No matter how the other monsters attacked her, they couldn't hurt her, so she just left them alone.

The goblins swung their crude swords at Maple, but with such a large shield, she only needed to curl up her body and the shield would be able to block almost all attacks for her.

Maple faithfully repeated the steps of blocking and then deflecting, and then she gained a new skill.

In a sense, Maple is indeed a very determined girl.

Compared with others who are quick to respond, she is willing to spend time exploring new skills. No wonder she has become the most beloved darling in the world.

The first official event is about to begin with Maple's efforts, and during this period, Ye Shouwu also begins to look for the darlings of other worlds.

After all, the temptation of this world is much greater now than it was at the beginning.

If Ye Shouwu wanted to take a short vacation and play slowly at the beginning, then the fact that he could integrate the whole world into his own world would be enough to make Ye Shouwu excited and work hard.

Chapter 369: All-server melee

The opening day of the event has finally arrived after much anticipation.

As the behind-the-scenes controller of the game at this time, Ye Shouwu stood at the highest point and observed the players participating in this event.

For others, it's an official event, an event where you can get rewards and determine your ranking in the game.

But for Ye Shouwu, this is a screening game.

He can select suitable players to contact in the future.

In other words, the top ten female players who perform well and are good-looking are all his targets.

So he unexpectedly did not participate in the competition this time, but chose to be a spectator to see if there were any players worth approaching.

This may sound bad, but it is actually the best way to determine your goals.

But Ye Shouwu still subconsciously kept his eyes on Maple, because as the main system of the game, he knew what Maple had done in the past few days to prepare for the competition. He was still looking forward to what interesting things these people would do when they saw Maple's "Absolute Defense".

But as the person being expected, Maple was actually very nervous.

Since she put all her points into defense right after entering the game, Maple has very little experience of being injured and is not used to the feeling of being injured.

This time, it was also her first time fighting with a player, so it was inevitable that she was nervous.

After waiting for a while at the starting square, more and more contestants gathered.

A huge screen appeared in the air, broadcasting the battle situations of interesting players.

Craftsmen like Izzy, who do not participate, exist mainly as spectators.

"Everyone, thank you for waiting! The first official event! The big melee begins!"

Amid the excited shouts of all the players, the broadcast began to broadcast the rules of the game: "I am here to explain the rules of the event again! The time limit is three hours, and all participants will be teleported to a special event venue! Points are calculated based on the number of players defeated, the number of times defeated, the amount of injuries, and the amount of damage output. The rankings are from high to low! The top ten will receive souvenirs! Come on, everyone!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone was enveloped by light and randomly teleported to different activity locations.

When everyone starts to hide themselves, or look for the target directly.

Maple actually found a place to sit down while hugging her huge shield. She looked so relaxed that it didn't seem like she was here for a fight, but rather a vacation.

With this kind of behavior, even if Ye Shouwu was looking for other targets, it would be difficult not to shift his attention to Maple.

Then, he saw someone sneak attacking Maple, and Maple's shield easily shattered the attacker's sword.

The attacker was not simply deflected, but his weapon was directly shattered, and the attacker himself was also hit by the shield, and his upper body turned into light and disappeared, and he was directly disqualified from the competition. The attacker's life turned into a beautiful red crystal, decorating the shield.

After this move was made, no one dared to attack Mep easily.

Maple continued to draw on the ground without being disturbed by the fame or criticism. Naturally, her flawed appearance attracted many sneak attackers, and the result was no different from that of the man who turned into a gem just now.

Maple's behavior gave Ye Shouwu a strong feeling of playing the pig to eat the tiger.

She never left this position during the entire process, but players kept coming to her and were defeated by her seemingly easily... and Maple's shield had no upper limit, and she actually used the [Poison Dragon] enchantment to devour fifty players in one breath.

Seeing the players turning into red crystals, Maple blushed suddenly and murmured in a low voice: "This skill is so powerful, it makes sense even if it has a strange buff..."

As the one who had been secretly monitoring Maple, Ye Shouwuxian either did not drink the water, or else he would have spit out a mouthful of water. Obviously, he did not expect Maple to be able to justify herself.

When the game was halfway through, Ye Shouwu secretly controlled the radio to broadcast the current ranking in real time: "The top three are currently No. 1 Pain, No. 2 Juede, and No. 3 Maple! If you can defeat any of the top three in the next hour, you will take away one third of their points! The positions of the three have been marked on the map! Please fight to the end!"

The first place pein was given to a handsome blond man.

The second place winner, Jue De, is a typical cheerful man.

The only one who came in third was Maple, a petite and cute girl. Those who wanted to stand out naturally went to cause trouble for Maple.

The opponents that appeared this time were different from the small fry at the beginning.

Some players were extremely fast, and to Maple, they were just afterimages, and she could only watch the knife swing down to her neck.

However, that kind of attack had no effect on Maple.

The enemy player who thought he could definitely deal with her was eaten by the tower shield before he could make the next move.

After that, many people followed suit, only to be confused as to why their weapons could not deal damage, and were devoured.

The players are not fools. After seeing such scenes a few times, they will no longer attack rashly and will gradually shorten the distance to the camp.

But as long as they are unwilling to give up their desire to hunt Maple, they will be hunted by Maple sooner or later.

In the end, the players who fell one by one were unable to escape the deadly poisonous fog, and turned into spots of light one by one from the front.

In the end, the players who set their sights on Maple just became her points.

In the end, the ranking of the top three did not change, and Maple was still in third place.

And just because of this stop, Maple's existence is fully known throughout the entire game.

But Ye Shouwu's time as a spectator was not in vain, because in addition to Maple, who had always been the focus of Ye Shouwu's attention, Ye Shouwu did discover some interesting players.

For example, after the settlement, the fourth place was a red-haired, red-eyed woman named Mii who used fire magic.

If Maple hadn't appeared out of nowhere, the third place in this event would have been Mii.

The other one is from the same guild as the fourth-placed Mi Yi, and is the auxiliary player Miserly who is ranked tenth in this competition.

And, this sixth-ranked woman, Kasumi, with black hair and a purple kimono, wielding a samurai sword.

They are all very outstanding and beautiful women. Ye Shouwu touched his chin, thinking about how to make a better move.

In the end, this guy Ye Shouwu chose the most primitive way, using the method of selecting soldiers and future as the ranking, and chose this woman named Feng.

But Ye Shouwu didn't know that because Maple's way of playing the game was completely different from that of others and had attracted the attention of the official, the game was about to change.

Chapter 370: Girl Sally

When Ye Shouwu was still hesitating about who to attack first, things took an interesting turn.

At that time, Ye Shouwu was sitting in a random shop in the town drinking coffee.

He was in some kind of sage time when he heard a female voice exclaiming exaggeratedly, "Wow! This is what a town feels like!"

The voice was too full of energy, and Ye Shouwu subconsciously looked towards the source of the voice - but he saw that there was another newcomer standing next to the monster newcomer Maple.

She has a short brown ponytail and seems to be about the same age as Maple. I guess she should be a classmate or close friend in real life.

The two seemed to be discussing where to upgrade next.

Ye Shouwu felt that this opportunity to travel together could not be missed.

So he instantly flashed to a position near the two people, and then pretended to meet them by chance.

Before Ye Shouwu could greet him, Maple blushed and greeted him nervously: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu!"

"No need to call me so strange..." Ye Shouwu chuckled: "I thought we were friends."

Maple blushed as if she remembered something bad: "Still, you still have to respect Mr. Wu..."

At this time, Shiromine Risa, who had been watching from the side, was the brown-haired girl with a ponytail called Sally in the game, and her eyes kept wandering between Maple and Yamori.

Finally, she poked Maple with her crescent eyes: "This is the one you were talking about... a handsome guy I met and had a crush on... He is indeed good-looking..."

You should know that the face-shaping settings of this game are synchronized with real life, so there is no problem of real tanks looking good in the game.

So there is absolutely nothing wrong with Sally praising Ya Shouwu as a handsome guy.

Before Sally could finish her words, Maple covered Sally's mouth as if she was bitten by a dog. It was obvious that her instinct exceeded her ability at this moment, otherwise Maple, who had almost no agility, could have covered the mouth of Sally, who had high agility.

Not only that, Maple also hurriedly explained to Ye Shouwu: "Sally recognized the wrong person! Mr. Wu, don't listen to her nonsense!"

Ye Shouwu had no idea what the sisters had said in private.

But as a man who has seen countless women, he knows how to express himself at this time to make the atmosphere better.

So, he leaned forward slightly, pretending to be a little hurt. "Are you talking nonsense? I would be honored to be the man chosen by the powerful Maple."

As he said this, he chuckled without waiting for Maple to react, as if he was joking, to get rid of the awkward atmosphere.

As expected, Sally's attention was instantly diverted: "Is Maple famous?"

"The third place in the last individual competition is definitely a dark horse." Ye Shouwu was not stingy with his praise for Maple: "As a life player like me, I really think Maple is amazing from the bottom of my heart."

Maple, who had just been praised, blushed and showed a hint of surprise: "Is Mr. Wu a life player?"

"Yes." Ye Shouwu said this, but he showed a distressed expression: "But because of my lack of combat power, many things I want are difficult to obtain... For example, I have recently been purchasing some materials from the underground lake at a high price."

The combat power ceiling says that one's combat power is insufficient, which is enough to fool the little girl.

But no one doubted his words. After all, if he really had the fighting ability, why wouldn't he participate in the first individual competition?

The keyword about the underground lake is also the place that Ye Shouwu said he wanted to go when he heard Maple and Sally talking just now.

Seeing that Ye Shouwu also wanted to go to the Underground Lake, Sally said excitedly: "It just so happens that Maple and I are also going to the Underground Lake, why don't you come with us, Mr. Wu!"

But when I was heading to the underground lake, I encountered a rather troublesome problem.

That is because all of Maple's stats are focused on defense, so her movement speed is very slow. If we rely on Maple's speed to reach the underground lake, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach it today.

"Why don't I carry Maple on my back?" Sally suggested with bright eyes.

After all, Sally's main focus is agility, and the core of this game is the speed at which the brain works, which will be reflected in the player's personal abilities such as reaction speed and endurance.

Sally is an experienced VR game player, so it is no problem for her to speed at high speed with Maple on her back.

But Ye Shouwu suddenly said at this time: "It is indeed a good idea, but it is not necessary... or you can do this when I am no longer here."

"Huh?" Sally and Maple tilted their heads together in confusion and actually bumped into each other's heads.

Of course, as a player with high defense, Maple didn't feel any pain, but Sally was the one who felt the most pain.

Ye Shouwu rubbed Sally's head caringly and said, "Be careful... I mean, I have a teleportation talisman, so I don't need to run over there."

The golden teleportation talisman exudes the light of money.

But for someone like Ye Shouwu who has already mastered the game's optical computer and can give commands at will, this is nothing at all. But in the eyes of novice players, it is considerable wealth.

At this time, Sally's eyes were not on the glittering golden teleportation symbol...

Even Sally couldn't help blushing when the handsome guy soothed her on the top of her head.

A strange heartbeat swelled in her chest, and Sally suddenly felt that perhaps she understood why Maple called her in a panic and told her about her complicated feelings when she met a very handsome man.

But when I thought that the person I was blushing for was the person my best friend liked, I felt indescribably embarrassed and awkward.

But Ye Shouwu didn't care about these things, or rather, he created this feeling on purpose.

He casually pulled out a teleportation talisman: "I found the location when I passed by last time, so let's teleport there together."

After saying that, Ye Shouwu grabbed the hands of the blushing Sally and Maple on the left and right respectively, and chose to teleport directly to the vicinity of the underground lake.

As soon as the three people landed, Sally, who was extremely agile, shouted loudly: "There are three wolf-shaped monsters ahead, Maple!"

"Got it!" Maple immediately took out her shield camp, and the three wild monsters instantly turned into starlight and disappeared.

Ye Shouwu immediately applauded: "As expected of close friends, you really have a tacit understanding."
