Chapter 484 The Second Team of Players in the Top Sixteen

Cats are free spirits, and cat spirits are even more so.

In Nero's mind, or rather, in the mind of the cat spirit, fun always comes first.

Both Nekohime and Nero Cat are essentially beings that bring disorder and chaos to the world, disrupting the course of the game and acting unpredictably, thus becoming part of the chaos themselves.

In Nero's opinion, the outcome of Cheng Tian's request would be far more interesting than winning the match himself!
...In addition, the fact that the cat princess in the same team was shocked and angry is also part of Nero Cat's Chaos Play.

Even its own kind will be betrayed; that's the nature of cat spirits.

Its job was to help Cheng Tian accurately collect the blood of the Qin brothers.

Nero Cat has an indestructible Chaos Mosquito that always follows Cheng Tian, ​​and this is actually equivalent to Nero Cat's true form. Cheng Tian can talk to the mosquito about anything.

With his newly established network of contacts—the intelligence network of Haima Entertainment—Cheng Tian easily located the Qin brothers, who were not deliberately hiding their whereabouts, and even reported them in real time.

Of course, as a boss who is used to being in control of the situation at all times, Haima, who is in the process of recovering his condition, still needs to inquire about Cheng Tian's purpose.

During the brief break while the body was being removed and the arena was being repaired, Cheng Tian directly told Hai Ma about the bloodline curse and the clone's removal from the secret manual—things that sounded quite outrageous and immoral.

Perhaps it's a difference in perspective, or perhaps it's a game perspective, but Cheng Tian genuinely doesn't think there's anything wrong with cloning people in dungeons. There's no point in hiding the so-called secret techniques, since without the technology, there's no way to crack them. But to Hai Ma, it's clearly a different story.

Hai Ma sensed a sincerity in Cheng Tian that was unlikely to appear even among acquaintances.

Doesn't this guy know what he's saying?

Cheng Tian's straightforward and unreserved behavior touched Hai Ma, and then a rather bold idea popped into his head!

If Cheng Tian could find a way to obtain Yugi Muto's DNA, then theoretically he could create a clone of Yugi Muto. And if he could also find a way to reassemble the Millennium Puzzle, then wouldn't that be possible...?

Seto Kaiba felt a surge of heat in his heart, his mind gradually clearing, while his consciousness gradually became muddled.

Seto Kaiba is willing to pay any price to fight Atem again.

The seahorse suddenly paused, then its gaze involuntarily shifted to its side, its eyes filled with the smiling face of the blue-eyed girl.

So he added the suffix "she's different" to any cost in his mind.

They act on their ideas immediately, creating technology where none exists. That's how decisive and efficient Haima is, so they immediately provided full support.

Coincidentally, Qin Chongxiu, who had become a disciple of Kim Gapan, was staying at a hotel not far from the main stadium, arranged by the organizers. Getting there would be a matter of minutes.

Cheng Tian's original intention was to help Nero Cat after the competition, but Nero Cat withdrew from the competition directly.

If yesterday's audience satisfaction score was 10 or even 9, then today's second day of the main competition only gets 6, and that 6 is only because of the bloodshed.

The problem was that the visual effects in yesterday's match were simply too much, especially the Giant Warrior's crushing punch, which immediately raised the audience's excitement threshold to an extremely high level. This was the real reason why the organizers decided not to extend the match and let the contestants and the audience have a night to cool down.

However, how can one night possibly be enough to make up for it?

With such a high bar set before them, even though the subsequent matches were still far superior to other international events, the audience's emotions were inevitably affected. If it weren't for the bloodshed and death in the fierce battle between Gis and Bazett, which further stimulated the audience's senses, the satisfaction level might have been even lower.

Fortunately, in this tense atmosphere, the seventh and penultimate match of the round of 16 took to the stage. Among them, Iori Yagami, who was alone, was clearly one of the most eye-catching figures in the entire King of Fighters tournament.

Having defeated two teammates in the previous competition, Iori Yagami has clearly gained a group of die-hard fans in this MUGEN world.

We would refuse to play as teammates with Iori Yagami, but we welcome watching the show!
With his appearance, the low-pressure zone over the stadium noticeably lifted.

Correspondingly, there is Team 996, one of only two teams to enter the main competition in this tournament.

Unlike Cheng Tian, ​​who is carefree and even accepts restrictions to meet challenges, Team 996 felt considerable pressure. In particular, their opponent, Iori Yagami, was a popular character in a popular dungeon, and his information was quite complete in the space. Therefore, Team 996 knew very well what kind of time bomb they were facing.

Unfortunately, they faced a ticking time bomb, but fortunately, there was only one enemy, and Team 996 had a significant combat advantage.

Therefore, the team's strategy is very clear: they don't expect to defeat their opponent in one game, but rather plan to wear them down in the first two of the three matches before defeating them.

Of course, having already completed the main storyline and reached the finals, they are now in the top 16 and are ready to settle their scores. Therefore, their attitude in this competition is to try their best to achieve a higher ranking as long as no one dies.

In short, survival is the priority.

However, what they fear most right now is not the arrogant lone wolf Iori Yagami, but the orange host who has seriously interfered with many matches, yet has never been driven away because of his powerful backing!

Cheng Tian's crazy revealing and opening of boxes clearly shocked these players. Although they were certain that they had never interacted with Cheng Tian in other dungeons, the terrifying amount of information Cheng Tian had provided had successfully exceeded their comprehension.

After discussion, Team 996 unanimously concluded that Cheng Tian possessed a special investigative skill that allowed him to uncover secret information!
This is the most reasonable deduction under normal circumstances. Who knows that Cheng Tian had accumulated more than twenty years of relevant information in the real world before entering the space...

What they fear most is whether this detection skill can also be applied to players!
After much deliberation, the allure of advancing further in the rankings outweighed the risk of being eliminated, so Team 996 ultimately decided to continue the competition.

What if it doesn't work?
"Team 996! Send out your vanguard!"

The man in sunglasses and a mustache began the proceedings, while Cheng Tian watched Team 996 with curiosity, wanting to see what kind of trouble they could come up with.

Then he saw a very peculiar monkey show.

The male player, wearing a baseball cap backwards and registered as "Xiao Zi," pulled out a red and white Poké Ball with his hand behind his back. As the Poké Ball activated, a purple shadow floated out and coalesced in the air, transforming into a Ghost-type Pokémon consisting of the Pokémon itself and two floating arms.

Gastly.

At this moment, Xiao Zi raised her hand and aimed it at Gastly. Gastly, which was half the size of a human body, spiraled back into the player's palm and condensed into a sphere that retained Gastly's facial features.

Then, Xiao Zi actually pressed the spherical Gastly directly into her chest!

In an instant, a surge of spiritual energy, infused with ghostly energy, emanated from Xiao Zi!

"A Ghost-type Pokémon possessing and fusing with Shaman King?"

Cheng Tian covered the microphone with one hand, his face full of surprise.
