Chapter 73 - "Rek'Sai!!!"

 

Translator: AnubisTL

"Good heavens!" Scar Dog's expression gradually brightened with excitement, and he couldn't resist leaning closer, his interest piqued. "I love where this is going! What happened next?"

"She turned me down."

"But that was a Rek'Sai! Just one night could have gotten her a Rek'Sai!"

TL/N: Rek'Sai = a champion character in League of Legends (LoL) — a Void-burrowing monster that tunnels underground.

"To reject such a tempting offer proves she's truly a good girl."

"..."

"How long did you chase her?"

"Three years?"

"How did you two meet?"

"At an internet cafe."

"Listen, kid, if you really liked that girl, you should have won her over with sincerity before the wedding. How could you offer a Rek'Sai for one night? That's practically insulting!"

"Brother..." Li Hao's voice trembled, his eyes reddening as he spoke. "You don't understand. When we first met, I was playing League of Legends—Gnar top lane."

"She stood behind me, watching the whole time."

"My screen went black, and through the reflection, I saw a beautiful woman watching me. My palms started sweating, I was so nervous."

"But she didn't say a word, just kept watching silently."

"That day, I was in terrible shape. Overwhelmed by nerves, I kept getting solo-killed in lane. The only time I managed to shine was during team fights, where I initiated a good engage."

"After the match, she told me my Gnar play was impressive and entertaining."

"From that day on, I played over a thousand games of Gnar. I abandoned all other champions, focusing solely on Gnar."

"Yet, despite playing over a thousand games and transforming into Mega Gnar thousands of times, I never once transformed in front of her!"

"I couldn't accept that."

"I thought, even if I had to sell my Rek'Sai, I'd transform in front of her just once. But to my surprise, she rejected the allure of Rek'Sai."

"..."

Scar Dog remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, his voice tinged with boredom. "Honestly, this story didn't go in the direction I expected. I was hoping for some minotaur-themed developments."

Meanwhile, nearby, Chen Jiang meticulously inspected the entire massive heavy truck, leaving no detail unchecked. Only after completing his inspection did he let out a soft sigh of relief.

Everything was ready—all that remained was the east wind.

At that moment, a global speaker announcement blared in the ears of all race players:

[Global Speaker!]

[Mechanical Race Player Feng Jiutian: "Chen Jiang, do you really think you can hide like a turtle, burying your head in the sand, and escape?"]

"All race players are watching you now."

"You were so arrogant yesterday. Why are you cowering like a turtle today?"

"Are all humans like you? Maybe you should rename your race 'Turtle Race' instead."

"You can't escape today."

Tsk.

Chen Jiang clicked his tongue, suddenly feeling bored.

He had expected Feng Jiutian to pull out some item to force him into the race kill rankings competition.

But it seemed all he got were trash talk that had no effect on him whatsoever.

Why did this guy keep offering his face for a beating?

He shook his head and casually pulled out a global speaker.

[Global Speaker!]

[Human Player Chen Jiang: ...]

Feng Jiutian stared at Chen Jiang's global speaker message, his face contorted with fury as he roared, "What do those three dots mean?"

"He used such a precious item—a global speaker—just to send three dots?"

"What do those three dots mean?!"

"Um..."

The subordinate standing beside him hesitated, his expression uncertain. "Maybe... in human culture, it means surrender?"

"Hah!"

Feng Jiutian took a deep breath, finally calming his emotions. His voice rasped, "Ignore him. No matter how he tries to evade the truth with words, he'll become a laughingstock in the eyes of the ten thousand races."

"That's strange," Chen Jiang murmured, shaking his head slightly, a puzzled expression on his face. It was clear Feng Jiutian cared deeply about his image among other players.

But... aren't all alien races enemies?

Why would he care about his image in the eyes of his enemies?

He couldn't understand it at all.

Time slipped away quickly.

It was now 11 PM.

Just one hour remained until midnight, and only one hour until the race kill rankings were finalized.

By this point, the gap in the race kill rankings had widened dramatically.

[Top Ranking: Mechanical Race, Feng Jiutian.]

[Kills: 157,739]

[Second Ranking: Human Race, Chen Jiang.]

[Kills: 17,892]

Feng Jiutian's kill count had reached nearly 160,000.

This was a terrifying number.

In the history of Blue Star, even in massive battles involving millions of combatants, such staggering casualties were rarely seen.

Yet Feng Jiutian had achieved this number in a single day.

No one knew how Feng Jiutian had managed to kill 160,000 alien race players in a single day. Even though many suspected he had used some kind of trick to achieve that number, it couldn't change the fact that this terrifying figure had indeed appeared on the race kill rankings.

Meanwhile, Scar Dog and Li Hao had already climbed into the massive heavy-duty truck.

Sitting in the cockpit, they slowly drove toward the sky pit.

Li Hao drove the truck.

Scar Dog, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, gazed out the window into the night, his expression distant as he seemed lost in thought.

Despite meticulous planning, this operation still carried significant risks.

He tightened his grip on the energy block in his lap, pressed his lips together, and remained silent.

Anyone standing before the truck in the darkness would have seen a colossal vehicle, roughly three stories tall, lumbering forward like a roused beast.

Its speed wasn't particularly fast, but it radiated a suffocating aura of power.

When this behemoth began to move, few dared to stand in its path.

At that moment, the global speaker blared once more.

[Global Speaker!]

[Mechanical Race Player Feng Jiutian: "Trash! I thought you'd be a worthy opponent, but you're just a coward hiding in your shell."]

["After today, I'll never speak to you again."]

["You've forfeited your right to address me."]

["A fluke top-ranking trash from yesterday."]

Meanwhile—

The massive heavy truck Scar Dog and his companion were riding in had reached within a kilometer of the sky pit.

Even though they had sacrificed speed to minimize noise and movement, such a colossal machine couldn't start without making a racket.

The ground trembled slightly.

Suddenly, hundreds of insect race players swarmed from the once-silent sky pit, taking to the air to investigate the disturbance.

They had clearly sensed the ground tremors.

Realizing they could no longer conceal their presence, Scar Dog took a deep breath, tossed his half-smoked cigarette under the truck, and pulled six energy blocks from his pocket. With a ferocious roar, he shouted, "Full throttle!"

Li Hao, beside him, wasted no time.

Staring at the sky pit looming like a gaping abyss in the night, he inhaled sharply, slammed his foot down on the accelerator, and bellowed with equal ferocity, "Let's fucking do this!"

The next moment—

The massive heavy-duty truck, towering three stories high, roared to life at full throttle!

Like a charging giant, it surged forward with a deafening roar and the unwavering resolve of a warrior embarking on a one-way journey. In the darkness of night, it accelerated violently, hurtling toward the sky pit!

Its speed increased relentlessly.

The insect race players were utterly powerless to stop the colossal truck. They could only watch helplessly as it crashed into the sky pit, momentarily stunned and unsure how to react.

A spectacular fireworks display was about to erupt before the eyes of the world!
