Chapter 286: Chapter 154: Reward Settlement, Double First Place! An Unexpected Special Match Contestant
Whatever. Once I leave the Secret Realm, I won’t know a thing anyway!
No. 0 had given up.
Screw it!
WHOOSH.
WHOOSH.
WHOOSH.
Ignoring Shen Fei, No. 0 used the location data from No. 1 and his other clones to quickly pick off the players hidden among the Soldiers. Every time a player was killed, large swathes of Soldiers would instantly vanish.
[DING!]
[Player Skyrocketing has left the spectator area!]
After quickly clearing out a good chunk of the players, No. 0 saw that Shen Fei had left.
***
"Holy shit!"
"Holy shit!"
"No. 5... No. 5... No. 5..."
Outside the sand table arena, back in the Secret Realm proper, Shen Fei’s head was throbbing. His mouth was dry, his heart was racing, and his scalp was tingling. He was a mess. He felt awful, like he had held a funeral for a loved one only to find out he had buried the wrong person and they had suddenly reappeared. And to make matters worse, this whole mix-up was orchestrated by that very same loved one.
No. 0 is No. 5? No. 5 is No. 0? It’s only been No. 0 from the very beginning? Ethereum Punk... only has one living person, No. 0? No wonder... No wonder...
Shen Fei fell into a daze, muttering to himself involuntarily.
"Bro!"
"What’s wrong with you!"
As Shen Fei muttered deliriously, slapping his head to try and snap out of it, his sister, Shen Yue, came bouncing over.
She knew that some of Xiaohong’s secrets had already been exposed. But because of an obstructive rule, Xiaohong previously hadn’t had a chance to enter an arena match. Now, in this round, Xiaohong had finally gotten in. Moreover, Shen Yue had just snuck a peek and saw that Xiaohong had already transformed right in the middle of the arena.
Without another word, Shen Yue, who had just finished her own match, rushed over to grab her brother and give him a heads-up.
"Come on, let’s go see Xiaohong!"
Amidst Shen Yue’s shouts, the head-throbbing Shen Fei was dragged into a special map filled with peach blossoms.
"Ah!"
This is Xiaohong?
When he saw Li Xiaohong fighting in the peach grove—clad in black leather, with wings, wielding a pitchfork, and sporting a heart-shaped tail—Shen Fei froze again.
"That’s right! What do you think? Like what you see?" Shen Yue, who was also in the spectator area, could communicate freely with Shen Fei.
Xiaohong really inherited a Succubus bloodline? And the inheritance is this potent?
His mind was mush. He still hadn’t processed the matter with No. 0, so he never expected that Xiaohong would also "mutate."
"Yup!"
"Didn’t expect that, did you? Hehehe~" Shen Yue laughed heartily.
The team Xiaohong was on, called the Succubus Legion, also had a very high win rate of 89%. Except for when they ran into teams of great monks or Demon Hunters, the vast majority of opponents were completely toyed with by the Succubus Legion.
Regardless of gender, anyone who encountered the Succubus Legion would fall for their tricks with the slightest carelessness. As long as one person on a team was affected, the others would quickly follow in a chain reaction. Even teams that relied on amassing large armies, beast Summoning, or even skeleton Summoning would be instantly defeated.
If it weren’t for the automatic mosaic censorship, everyone might have witnessed the "glorious" spectacle of a massive army descending into a collective ** under the influence of Succubus Power.
Of course, the Succubus Legion’s high win rate was also partly due to what happened when they encountered certain teams full of LSPs. When facing these kinds of teams, the succubus girl group wouldn’t even fight. Instead, they would perform a dance for the LSPs, after which the LSP team would voluntarily surrender.
"Gotta go, bye! My team’s next battle is starting!" Shen Yue wanted to explain more to Shen Fei, but her next match was already beginning. She had no choice but to leave immediately.
***
With Shen Yue gone and no one to talk to, Shen Fei’s head began to throb again. It really hurt.
If... if he hadn’t just learned that No. 0 and No. 5 were the same person. If he didn’t know that No. 5 was actually still alive and could be rebuilt by No. 0 at any time... then he would have really liked a girl like Xiaohong, who was a good girl on the surface but secretly played this kind of game. This perfectly fit his XP. And Xiaohong also liked him. His ex-girlfriend, ’No. 5’, had also just ’passed away’... Getting to know a Xiaohong like this would have been the most natural thing in the world. But! He just found out his No. 5 is still alive! Everything’s a total mess now! No. 5 is No. 0’s clone, and now Xiaohong has turned into... this...
Shen Fei’s head throbbed even harder!
WHOOSH.
Rubbing his temples, Shen Fei tried to calm himself down. He watched for a while longer, his brow furrowed deeply as he looked down at Xiaohong, who was surrounded by a group of succubi. He saw that, because of his appearance, the gang of succubi seemed to be teaching Xiaohong how to be bolder and let loose.
Xiaohong’s relationship with "Skyrocketing" was, of course, known to everyone; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been banned from competing for so long.
At that moment, the succubi in the match received the notification that "Skyrocketing has entered the spectator area." They then saw their team’s little darling, Xiaohong, instantly stiffen, her wings freezing mid-flap until she almost couldn’t fly. This experienced bunch pried all the information out of the naive Xiaohong in just a few sentences.
When they learned that Xiaohong wanted to show off her Succubus bloodline to see if Shen Fei would like it, they immediately started chattering all at once, helping Xiaohong adjust her posture. Unfortunately, before they could get involved for even two seconds, the head-pounding Shen Fei had already left.
"Don’t worry!"
"We’ll help you when we get out!"
"First, let’s kill the simps on the other team!"
Seeing Shen Fei leave, Xiaohong’s succubus team immediately consoled her.
