Chapter 109 The Wrath of Neon

A slight smile played on his lips as he decisively acquired the "Swordsmith" card.

Almost every subsequent set of reward cards contained one or two that he needed most at the moment.

It's not just a high-quality transition, but a key component of the Sword Forging style. His deck quality increased rapidly, and his progress also began to accelerate.

Meanwhile, things started to go wrong for Xingyuan. Starting from the latter half of the first level, his reward cards became increasingly worse.

It's either duplicate low-quality cards or useless cards that don't fit his deck at all.

In order to clear his deck, he had to skip several cards in a row, leaving his deck empty except for the initial few cards for offense and defense, and some transitional cards he had drawn earlier.

He forced himself to continue pushing forward, but by the time he reached the middle of the second level, he had lost more than half of his health.

"Something's not right." Xingyuan frowned.

He glanced at the progress bar on the other side; Xiang Chu was already far ahead.

He fought two more monsters, but the reward cards he got were still not the ones he wanted. Something felt off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

When he arrived at the second boss, he still only had about twenty cards left. He used two potions and barely managed to defeat it, but his health was already almost depleted.

Xiang Chu, however, had already entered the third level and was making steady progress.

Xingyuan's palms began to sweat as he read this.

With the help of "Plan B", Xiang Chu not only got the cards he wanted, but also had a smooth journey with Question Mark.

He always deliberately took the route with the most question marks, and the events that came up were basically options for recovering health, getting money, and drawing cards.

By following the question mark, his progress accelerated rapidly, and his condition and development improved more and more.

Around the round table, the three team leaders relaxed, and some even started chatting quietly.

Ye Fei stood at the back, his gaze fixed on Xiang Chu's screen.

Not right.

Something's definitely not right—it's at least 90% off!

The cards I drew were so good, it was almost like everything I wanted came true.

But then he remembered that he had played similar perfect hands before, and that it wasn't impossible if he was lucky, so he put aside his doubts.

He glanced around and found nothing unusual except for a tall captain who kept checking his phone.

He had some suspicions, but lacking evidence, he could only lower his guard slightly.

Until he saw Xiang Chu walk into the second question mark room on the third floor.

"stop!"

Ye Fei suddenly shouted, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Xiang Chu was clearly startled. His hand paused on the mouse for a moment, and he turned his head.

But upon seeing that it was Xingyuan's "follower," his expression immediately changed back to an impatient and angry look: "What are you doing?"

"You cheated." Ye Fei's voice was calm, but his tone was firm.

"There's no need to fight anymore."

There was a moment of silence in the conference room. Xiang Chu's expression changed, but he quickly recovered.

He forced a smile: "You're saying I cheated? On what grounds? What evidence do you have?"

Ye Fei pointed at Xiang Chu's screen and explained slowly, "Up to now, you've passed ten question marks, and haven't encountered a single monster."

Xiang Chu seemed unconvinced after hearing this: "So what? Can't I just be lucky?"

"You wouldn't be trying to protect Xingyuan by deliberately using dirty tricks to slander me because he's about to lose, would you?"

After saying that, the group burst into laughter, seemingly laughing at Ye Fei, and also seemingly laughing at Xing Yuan.

Ye Fei ignored him and continued to explain unhurriedly: "According to the game mechanics, if a monster doesn't appear after passing a question mark, the probability of a monster appearing at the next question mark will increase by ten percent."

"And you've already walked through nine question marks without encountering any monsters. According to the mechanics, the probability of encountering a monster at this question mark should have reached 100% by now, right?"

At this point, Xiang Chu's smile froze.

"Not only that," Ye Fei continued, "your hand, the difficulty level seems to be A7, right?"

"But you haven't even played the second layer yet, how come you've already drawn four rare cards?"

"And another one." Ye Fei shifted his gaze to the tall captain behind him.

"Every time you finish a level, the person behind you will pick up their phone and do something."

"And coincidentally, the reward card will be the one you want. I don't think this is a coincidence, is it?"

The tall captain's face turned ashen, and he nearly dropped his phone.

Xiang Chu suddenly stood up and pointed at Ye Fei: "Fine—"

As he stood up, the chair slid against the wall behind him with a loud "bang".

"I cheated, so what? I set the rules, what can you do about it?"

He pointed at Ye Fei, his expression agitated: "What right do you, a mere errand boy, have to point fingers here?"

Ye Fei remained calm, took out his phone from his pocket, and pressed the play button.

In the recording, Xiang Chu's voice came through exactly as it was: "I cheated, so what?"

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became tense, and the faces of the four team leaders were all grim.

Xiang Chu's face turned bright red, and the veins on his neck bulged instantly.

"Security!" Xiang Chu shouted, "Give me his phone!"

Two security guards rushed in from outside, heading straight for Ye Fei. One of them sneered at Chu, "Hmph, don't you even know whose turf you're on!"

Xingyuan, who had sensed something was wrong, had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue fighting since he had no evidence.

Upon hearing Ye Fei's words, he immediately realized what was happening, but by the time he reacted, the security guards had already arrived and were about to snatch it away.

He was separated by a table and couldn't reach out to help, so he could only shout, "Watch out behind you—!"

However, before he could finish speaking, a tall figure quickly appeared in the crowd.

He was originally standing behind Ye Fei, and his movements were so fast that they were almost invisible.

Before the first security guard could even touch Ye Fei, he was punched squarely in the face, causing him to fall backward and crash heavily to the ground.

The second security guard arrived almost simultaneously, reaching out from behind to restrain Ye Fei.

However, as soon as he reached out, the tall man grabbed his wrist and held him firmly in place.

He tried to break free, but the big man twisted him in the opposite direction with force, causing him to grimace in pain and bend over.

Then another punch landed directly on his ribs, and the security guard collapsed, clutching his stomach.

The whole process took less than five seconds.

Ye Fei glanced at the ground and sighed.

"Xiao Wei, you went a bit too far. How are we going to clean up this mess?"

Xiao Wei bowed deeply to Ye Fei: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye. I only knew how to protect you, I didn't think of anything else."

"I saw that the man had aggressive intentions in his eyes, so I hit him a little harder."

This action completely stunned the team leaders present, leaving them frozen in place, dumbfounded.

Their expressions were complex, showing both an instinctive fear of the violent scene and a fear of the situation turning around and becoming unpredictable.

Xingyuan stood up from his chair and quickly walked to Ye Fei's side, his eyes filled with shock.

But more than anything, he was angry. He immediately realized what was happening, looked at everyone, and said with fury in his voice, "As far as I know, this kind of high-level cheat that can arbitrarily adjust the drop rate only seems to exist in the Moonshadow Guild, right?"

"But I remember that using cheats by the Moonshadow Guild is a red flag under the esports laws of China, right?"

As he spoke, he stepped closer, pausing between each sentence, his tone intimidating: "If I were to post this audio/video recording online—what do you think would happen?"

With each step he took forward, the group retreated a step, until they were cornered against the wall with nowhere left to go.

"I remember that, according to the relevant laws on professional esports in China, if a player uses cheating methods in a formal setting—"

"What were the consequences again if it were discovered?"

With each word he spoke, the faces of the others grew paler.

They knew that, according to the laws of China, professional gamers who illegally use cheats will be permanently banned from their professional careers or even sentenced to prison!

Thinking of this, their faces turned completely pale.

Only Xiang Chu remained silent with a stern face from the very beginning.

The team leaders looked at each other, some began to tremble, and some were sweating profusely.

"It wasn't me!" The tall captain was the first to jump out, his voice trembling.

"It was all Xiang Chu's idea! He said we can't let Xingyuan form a team, and that we have to use underhanded methods—"

The other three captains chimed in, "Yes, yes, it was all his idea. We just listened to him—"

"It's none of our business!"

However, Ye Fei remained cold-faced, showing no intention of letting him go.

They shouted, but Ye Fei ignored them and just kept looking at his phone.

As they were shouting, one of them, seeing that his pleas were in vain, looked around in a panic.

"Oh, right, the chair!"

"He arranged the chairs too. Actually, the storage room was full of chairs; he told us to move them in and hide them beforehand!"

After he finished speaking, he ran towards the door, intending to fetch a chair. However, just as he reached the door, Xiao Wei darted out and blocked his way.

"Wait a minute," Ye Fei called out to him.

The man stood frozen in place.
