Chapter 324: The Snow Leopard's Illusory Battle (Part 2) - Town, the Sky-Cleaving Sword's Assistant?
"Old Zhong, what reward did you get? I got 1 point of World Renown!"
Snow Leopard hadn't even steadied himself when Old Meng's excited voice rang out from beside him.
"Oh, I got a second-tier blue skill book," Snow Leopard smiled and turned to the other teammates, "What about you guys? What did you get?"
The Mage, "Caliber is Justice": "I got the formula for an Advanced Intelligence Elixir."
The Priest, "Steel Flood March": "Hehe, I got a purple staff at level 30, ready for the next update!"
Old Li's expression was a bit awkward: "I got 100 Psychic Coins."
"What?!" All eyes quickly turned to him.
Snow Leopard hadn't asked if the teammates had passed the first round, but directly asked about the rewards, because he believed they could easily pass the first round.
Now, Old Li's "100 Psychic Coins" was clearly a "participation award"! He must not have even passed the first round!
Under the stares of his teammates, Old Li felt his face burning: "You don't understand! I met 'Thousand Cups Unfazed'! He's the only Warrior class among all the players, and I recognized him at first glance!"
"Thousand Cups Unfazed..." Everyone around him facepalmed.
Is Old Li one of those unlucky ones?
To encounter such a champion favorite in the first round with a one in a million chance, his luck must be as black as night!
Snow Leopard, Old Meng, and the other teammates quickly moved away from Old Li, trying to avoid his bad luck.
Seeing his teammates move away, Old Li felt the coldness of the world.
"How could I possibly beat him when I don't even know what skills a Warrior class has? Hidden classes are so unfair!" Old Li gritted his teeth.
"Alright, in a way, you were lucky," Old Meng stroked his chin thoughtfully, "After all, we couldn't even meet Thousand Cups Unfazed if we tried, right?"
"Exactly, exactly," the other teammates chimed in.
"You damn—!" Old Li was furious, wanting to pounce on Old Meng and challenge him.
But considering Old Meng was a top-five defensive paladin with impenetrable defenses and the ability to heal himself, Old Li, a ranged archer, decided not to humiliate himself.
Old Li used "Backstep" + "Slide" to run far away from the group, shouting as he went, "I'm heading back to the Elven Kingdom, see you all! Oh, and Old Zhong, tell President Ke that Princess Arwen will always wait for him!"
With that, Old Li's figure disappeared into the distance.
In front of the projector, Su Yu was completely bewildered.
He was just enjoying the show, how did it suddenly come back to him?
Morning Star turned to look at Su Yu, her eyes not very friendly, "Who is Princess Arwen? You already have our Aijia, and you're still looking for another lover outside?"
At the same time, she ran her sharp claws along Su Yu's thigh, a clear warning.
"Uh, Arwen is just a 144-year-old Elven girl who's after my body... Let's just watch the stream, and I'll explain it to you later when we have time," Su Yu laughed nervously.
Back to the live stream.
After the first Illusory Battle, many players left the Golden Fleece Central Square, and the crowd began to thin out.
After all, the elimination rate was 100 to 1, and even a top-tier archer like Old Li could slip up, so most people couldn't make it past the first round.
Most players could only take the "participation award" and leave.
But at this moment, the number of viewers in Snow Leopard's live stream was skyrocketing!
Most players had been participating in the Illusory Battle, so those who had the time to watch the live stream were mostly non-participants like Su Yu, and the viewer count was only a few hundred.
Now that most of the crowd has dispersed, players are eager to know the outcome of the next match. The Snow Leopard’s live stream is undoubtedly one of the best places to watch.
In just a few minutes, a massive influx of viewers floods in, the number soaring to hundreds of thousands, with chat messages filling the screen.
Snow Leopard is well aware of the sudden surge in his viewer count.
However, he has no intention of engaging with these viewers. Instead, he continues to discuss strategies and insights from the previous map with his teammates, determined to advance further in the competition.
Twenty minutes later, Snow Leopard and his team step through the portal, entering the second round map.
As soon as he is teleported and still trying to overcome the dizziness, a clear child’s voice rings in his ear: "Mom, look! It’s a fool!"
Other voices join in:
"How can you be so impolite to an elder? Quickly, apologize to the elder... Oh, it really is a fool, so it’s fine."
"That person looks so foolish!"
"How did a fool end up here?"
Snow Leopard’s face turns black with embarrassment.
Looking around, he realizes he is in a bustling market, with stalls selling various vegetables, live fish, and fresh beef.
Due to his passive skill, the NPCs around him are all looking at him as if he were a fool.
The chat messages are already in uproar:
"HAHAHA, poor Snow Leopard!"
"Fool, hahaha!"
"If any player dares to say that to his face, they’re probably done for in this country."
"I heard it’s a feature of the decoration given by Boss Ke to Snow Leopard. He thought he got a good deal, but he actually got the short end of the stick!"
"Really? Boss Ke is that mischievous?"
"But everyone, notice that Snow Leopard’s map is a ‘Town,’ which is not favorable for a Druid. It looks like he’s in for a tough fight!"
In the game, Snow Leopard also takes a good look at his surroundings, confirming that it is indeed a small town.
Such an urban environment is indeed not suitable for a Druid like him.
However, he doesn’t dwell on it for long and quickly surveys his surroundings.
There are many NPCs around, but Snow Leopard quickly spots two player figures—
One is a Priest player deep in the market.
For some reason, the Priest is crouching in front of a vegetable stall, holding up an unknown red vegetable and asking the vendor, "Boss, how much is this?"
The other is a female Assassin standing on the street outside the market. She has already noticed Snow Leopard and is giving him a cold, calculating look.
With just one glance, Snow Leopard recognizes the female Assassin. She must be Qing Li, the assistant of [Heavenly Blade], a guild ranked outside the top 50 that Su Yu often mentions in their conversations. Snow Leopard has been keeping an eye on this group.
Moreover, Qing Li has a unique aura, and despite her altered appearance, he immediately recognized her.
Without hesitation, Snow Leopard transforms into his leopard form and launches a [Pounce] directly at Qing Li.
This map is ideal for an Assassin like Qing Li, and it’s better to deal with her now before she can cause more trouble.
Qing Li doesn’t know that the leopard pouncing at her is Snow Leopard. She assumes it’s just a confident Druid player.
With a cold snort, she draws her dagger and enters [Stealth] mode, preparing to take down this presumptuous little leopard.
