Prince of Tennis Fraudster

Awe-inspiring eyesight, masterful skill.

He narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "This guy has probably spent a considerable amount of time in the wild..."

Bang!

Bang!

One, two, three...

Watching Niou keep throwing up large fish, the three of them simply kept picking them up, finding it as easy as it could be.

"almost."

Seeing his skill level rise to 450, Niou wiped his sweat, went ashore, and released a dozen or so fish into the shallow water. With a deft flick of his knife, Niou skillfully removed the scales, gutted the fish, and cleaned their internal organs.

The entire process left everyone around them stunned.

"he……"

Kirihara opened his mouth, then smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid he called us here to be porters, right?"

"Ding!"

At that moment, after processing the last fish, Niou heard a system notification in his mind.

"Congratulations, host, your skill has been upgraded! Current level: Wilderness Survival Lv2! Passive attribute activated: Danger Detection!"

Chapter Fourteen: The Anomaly [4/5, Please Subscribe!]

"Danger Detection: Increases the sense of danger by 10% when surviving in the wild."

Got it!

Upon seeing the skill's attributes, Niou smiled inwardly.

These systems really want to train him into a wilderness survival expert.

Back at camp.

The group placed the prepared fish on clean leaves. Kirihara was about to grill it when Niou hit him with a branch.

Snapped!

Kirihara, wincing in pain, withdrew his hand and said with dissatisfaction, "What do you mean?"

Niou laughed and said, "Giving you roasted food would be a waste."

As he spoke, he picked up a sharpened branch and skillfully threaded the fish through its head and tail, then stuck it into the ground. After placing seven fish in the ground, he began to expertly grill them.

"Gudu..."

Watching the fish meat, its color gradually turning golden under Niou's control, with oil constantly seeping out and its aroma filling the air, Kirihara swallowed hard.

"King Ni-senpai..."

He called out reluctantly, then said ingratiatingly, "Could I have a taste?"

As he spoke, he quietly reached for the grilled fish.

Snapped!

His response was yet another twig.

"Tch, fine, don't give it to me then..." Kirihara withdrew his hand, but his eyes couldn't leave the grilled fish, and a few drops of saliva slowly seeped from the corner of his mouth.

As Kirihara looked at the fish, his eyes gradually became bloodshot.

Suddenly, he spoke up: "Your Highness, will you give it to me or not?"

Without turning his head, Niou said, "No!"

"you wanna die!"

With bloodshot eyes, Kirihara suddenly attacked from behind Niou.

Snapped!

The sharp, burning pain from the twig snapped open Kirihara's eyes, instantly clearing them.

"Damn it, why did I have to mess with this guy?"

Swallowing back his saliva, Kirihara stared intently at the fish that Niou was constantly flipping over, and couldn't help but ask, "How much longer until it's done?"

"immediately!"

As he spoke, Niou pulled a handful of white powder from his pocket and sprinkled it evenly over the fish. After flipping it a few times, he laughed and said, "All done!"

Swish!

Without waiting for him to speak, Kirihara immediately grabbed a stick and started tearing into it, ignoring the heat.

"Hmm, not bad...delicious!"

The aroma of the fish, as he chewed, assaulted his taste buds like countless threads. Excess fat, released through proper grilling, blended with the flavors of the fish and salt.

As he chewed repeatedly, Kirihara felt as if a stirring and uplifting melody was ringing in his ears. The golden grilled fish in front of him even seemed to gleam faintly.

"Grilled fish that... glows?"

"Forehead……"

Several black lines appeared above Renwang's head, and the system's voice rang in his mind: "Congratulations to the host for upgrading the Sichuan cuisine skill level. Current level: lv4, food deliciousness bonus: 9%."

"Cough cough..."

He cleared his throat a few times to ease the awkwardness, then handed the grilled fish to the remaining people. Savoring the delicious food, Liu couldn't help but ask, "Ren-wang, have you ever had experience camping in the wild before?"

I guess so...

Niou smiled. If he had answered no, the others would probably have thought he was just giving them a perfunctory answer. Upon hearing this, everyone's impression of Niou, including Sanada's, changed considerably.

After lunch.

Under the planning of Niou and Yanagi, the regulars began their first day of practice.

The irregular, weighted playing field makes the game far more difficult than games played on campus.

But they lived up to their reputation as Rikkai's regulars; after just one afternoon of special training, they were able to adapt to the increased workload.

As night fell, the group hid the embers and started another fire inside the cave.

The cave wasn't large, but it was big enough for seven people to rest in.

Kirihara and the others, exhausted from the intense training, stared silently at the campfire. Niou, on the other hand, bored out of his mind, rummaged through his backpack.

He couldn't possibly take out such a special item in front of the real person. After searching high and low, all that was left was that difficulty die.

Is it difficult to change the world?

Looking at the black and white dice in his hand, Niou frowned slightly: "System, how do I use this thing?"

"Warning to the host: the difficulty dice are dangerous items... Improper use may lead to some terrifying events for the host."

The system's words made Niou, who was initially in a playful mood, suppress his impulse. However, he still smiled and said, "But at least let me know how to use this thing, okay?"

"It's simple, just throw it."

“1、2为简单，3、4为普通，5、6为困难。投掷结果的数字越大，世界的难度也就越高。”

The instructions were simple and easy to understand. Niou didn't want to provoke the system, so he raised his hand, ready to put the item back in his pocket.

"Nioh!"

At this moment, Renwang, who heard Liu's shout, got up and walked into the cave.

Pat-pat...

But then, the dice he had put in his pocket leaked out from the trouser pocket with a small hole.

"what?"

Upon hearing the sound, the bored Kirihara blinked, but his eyes lit up when he saw what was on the ground.

Inside the cave, the three formed a small circle.

Liu said, "Today's results were good. Everyone's attitude during training was much more positive than during training on campus."

"Tomorrow's training will be more difficult, but I think in addition to increasing the weight of the wristbands, I will also add some disruptive training."

Upon hearing this, Sanada nodded.

"Indeed, the weather at the Kanto Tournament will only be hotter than it is now. Concentration will be a major weakness for them in the competition."

The concentration of Rikkai's players is indeed much weaker compared to those from schools that have risen from the bottom. Mental fortitude has always been their weakness.

Liu continued, "I suggest that we use sound interference during the competition. If necessary, we can also stimulate the sense of taste."

As he spoke, he glanced at Niou: "What do you think?"

"I……"

As soon as Niou opened his mouth, his expression changed drastically.

"Ding!"

"Difficulty die rolled successfully, showing a 5. Current world difficulty: Hard!"

Chapter 15, World Difficulty 5 [5/5, please customize!]

Swish!

Niou's expression suddenly changed. He turned his head and looked at Kirihara, who had a horrified expression, and asked, "What did you do?"

"It...it disappeared..."

Kirihara stared blankly at the spot where the dice had landed; apart from the gray, muddy ground, there was no trace of the dice.

Damn it!

Seeing Kirihara's reaction, how could Niou not know what he had done? But anger was useless; he couldn't vent his anger on Kirihara, nor could he reveal the existence of the difficulty dice.

Crack!

Just then, a spark flew towards Niou's robe. By sheer coincidence, it landed on the spot covered in fish oil.

At first, Niou didn't react. After a while, a burnt smell wafted over, and when he looked down, he was startled.

Swish!
