My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

"Don't...don't be too nervous and make a mistake..." After holding it in for a long time, Leng Yihan managed to say these words.

"Then please, all four of you, enter the game pod!" Upon hearing Tong's words, Leng Yihan felt as if she had been liberated. She immediately turned around and ran to her game pod, quickly entering and logging into the game.

"Game started!"

[Player Character: Extreme Cold]

[Server Login: The tournament server is waiting for other players to enter the game.]

This match will be a 1v1 BO5 format, and opponents will be randomly matched.

[Confirmation complete: This match is the semi-final. All players, please proceed to matchmaking.]

Matchmaking complete. Your opponent for this round is: Yu Xiao.

[Starting random map generation...]

[Map confirmed: Summoner's Rift]

"Huh? This map..." Before Leng Yihan could finish complaining, a CG started playing in front of him, and a narrator's voice rang in his ears.

[You've probably played this game before; it's a game that has consumed countless people's youth. But do you remember that you were always just a summoner, not a hero?]

Now... you will become a hero, enter Summoner's Rift, and fight your opponent... to the death!

The main questline has been refreshed.

[Tear down the local crystal.]

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Yihan appeared in the blue team's fountain, but there were no teammates around him, only himself.

"But I ran into Yu Xiao again... Sigh, do we old acquaintances have to hurt each other like this?" Leng Yihan shook his head, picked up his knife, and walked out of the spring. His answer was clear.

Yes!

90. Who are the two players who made it into the loser's bracket and who came in third?

"Waaaaah... It hurts so much..." Xiao Yulin pretended to wipe away non-existent tears, and everyone's attention was focused on her, but they didn't see the despair on Tianhuo's face.

"Relax, relax, it's time to cook now. After all, this is your own lunch~ Otherwise, you'll be playing games on an empty stomach." Tong said with a mischievous smile.

Don't you need to eat?

"Me?" Tong reached under the table that had been moved to the center of the stage at some point and pulled out a lunchbox. "I'm eating a lunchbox~"

"Oh, me too." Taiyo swallowed what was in his mouth, leaned close to the microphone and said, raising his lunchbox in a sarcastic gesture.

Now some people are probably wondering...aren't we in a game? Why did we exit? And why are we preparing to cook?

Let's go through it one by one. First, regarding the competition, Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan won as expected, with scores of 3-0 for Leng Yihan and 3-1 for Leng Binglan against Tianhuo (Leng Binglan had a bye in the previous round, so Tianhuo was leading by one point). Next, Yu Xiao and Tianhuo will compete in the semifinals of the knockout stage to determine the third place winner.

After a few matches, the group was forced to quit. They then learned from Tong that it was because the four of them needed to have lunch first and then maintain their best condition to continue playing and present exciting matches for the audience.

But even if that were the case, they only had two choices: one was not to eat and wait for everyone else to finish eating before playing, and the other was to cook and eat in front of thousands of people (on-site, not counting the live stream).

Tianhuo, who couldn't cook, instantly turned to ash. Xiao Yulin also couldn't cook, while Leng Yihan, who could cook, hid under the table and refused to come out no matter what. In other words...

"If you need cooking, ask Blue Moon!!! She can cook too!!!"

"Hey?! Bro, you sold me out!!!" Because she was the only one who could cook, Leng Binglan was forced by the pressure from the three people to cook a lot of food herself. After sharing some with some lucky viewers, just when the four thought they were about to enter the game, things... unfolded exactly as they had imagined.

Re-enter the game, but the two winners, Leng Binglan and Leng Yihan, who have entered the finals, don't have to fight yet. Instead, watch Yu Xiao and Tian Huo decide who will be the third place winner. Although, after losing the chance to compete for first and second place, this third place doesn't seem to matter much.

[Player Character: Yu Xiao]

[Server Login: The tournament server is waiting for other players to enter the game.]

This match will be a 1v1 BO5 format, and the opponent has been determined.

[Confirmation complete: This match is the loser's bracket of the semifinals. All players, please proceed to matchmaking.]

Matchmaking complete. Your opponent for this game is: Skyfire.

[Starting random map generation...]

[Map confirmed: Death Arena]

"A gladiator arena?" Xiao Yulin frowned, sensing something was amiss. "If that's the case... the boost to me is just too great, isn't it?"

Welcome to the Death Arena!!!

The system's voice sounded, and a scene of an arena appeared in front of Xiao Yulin. From this scene, it was clear that the arena was indeed enormous.

[So next... 1000 contestants will be thrown into ten arenas, and the ten who survive will come to the final arena... for the final showdown!]

From Xiao Yulin's perspective, she was walking through a dark passage, and right in front of her was a light—the light of the exit…

[You should know that killing your opponent in the Death Arena can strengthen your own abilities...]

Uncontrollably, Xiao Yulin walked out of the passage, and what appeared before her was the Death Arena, a place with an area of ​​300 square meters. In the audience seats, countless spectators were shouting and cheering for those who had placed bets.

【So, esteemed viewers, the curtain now rises on our death arena...】

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yulin appeared in an arena. Just as he regained control of his body, a large sword came crashing down towards his face. Although it seemed fast to others, it was still too slow for Xiao Yulin, a level 70 player... far too slow!

After easily dodging, Xiao Yulin thrust her spear forward, instantly piercing the burly man who had ambushed her. The man struggled against the spear for a moment before turning into a white light and disappearing from the arena. At the same time, Xiao Yulin also gained a buff.

[Kill: Each kill grants a 1% damage increase buff; kills carry over all of the enemy's stacks.]

The main questline has been refreshed.

[Becoming the sole survivor in the entire death arena.]

The side quests have been refreshed.

[To walk out of this death arena alive.]

"So many damage buffs... Is the system trying to make me and Tianhuo go head-to-head in terms of output?" Xiao Yulin thought to herself as she activated both domains and swept her spear. Another burst of dazzling white light flashed across the field, and the number of buffs stacked up to 7, bringing the total to eight.

"Soaring Dragon!" Xiao Yulin thrust her spear once, and a demonic dragon flew out, claiming another number of lives. The others quickly realized that Xiao Yulin was a tough nut to crack and wanted to unite to deal with her, but this only made it easier for Xiao Yulin to kill multiple people at once.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yulin was engrossed in endlessly mowing the lawn...

-

"So weak?" Tianhuo glanced around. The Netherfire on the ground was still burning, but the arena was already empty.

"Boom..." The loud noise attracted Tianhuo's attention. A huge mechanical door in the center of the arena was opened, a rock giant crawled out, and then the mechanism was closed again.

"Oh...so it's not that simple after all. In that case...then I'll burn you to ashes." As Tianhuo spoke, she raised her staff. The rose mark on the staff seemed to sense its master's fighting spirit, growing even more alluring...

-

"Phew... This guy is really troublesome..." Xiao Yulin rubbed his shoulders. The rock giant had long since turned into pieces of rubble, and most of it had turned into dust and disappeared into the air.

After the rock giant appeared, Xiao Yulin fought it for a while and found that even if he smashed it to pieces, it could still heal itself.

Abandoning the idea of ​​using normal attacks and low-level skills, Xiao Yulin took several steps back and waited for the rock giant to appear in its entirety. After Jianglong easily hit the huge rock giant, Xiao Yulin took several more steps back and began chanting Crusader Judgment.

The level 25 Crusader's Judgment, with its 8-second cast time, was cast the instant the Rock Giant regained its mobility when a beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping the Rock Giant's massive body.

In the end, only a few parts that seemed to be the hardest parts of the body survived, but the core had already been destroyed, so the damaged body could no longer be restored.

Side quest completed.

[Gain buff: Damage increased by 30%]

The system notification sounded, and the mechanism door opened again, but it wasn't the one with the rock giant; it was another one, clearly leading in a different direction.

"Is this the way..." Xiao Yulin turned and walked towards the door that had just opened. The moment she stepped through the door, she lost control of her body again and was relegated to a third-person perspective.

At that moment, the narrator's voice rang out again...

[Alright! As you can see, all ten survivors of our Death Arena have walked out alive! So, who among them will leave alive?!]

[To prevent any viewers from not recognizing some of our new friends, let me introduce them to you!]

First up is our old friend, Peng, who considers our Death Arena his home! He's achieved a record of entering 50 times and leaving alive 50 times! This is his 51st time; will he be able to maintain his winning streak?!

Xiao Yulin's perspective shifted to Peng, a strong and muscular man with incredibly impressive muscles... practically his entire body.

[The second one is also an old friend of ours, he is Tu, who is second only to Peng! But this time he actually met Peng, I wonder if he can continue to maintain his record...]

Tu is different from Peng; he is slightly thinner, but it is clear that he is no weaker than Peng.

[Third place – Su Da!]

[Fourth place – Yi Yu!]

[Fifth place – Qitong!]

[Sixth Place - Yade!]

[Seventh place – Jony!]

[Eighth place - RW!]

[Ninth place - Li Lingchen!]

[Tenth place - Xiao Yulin!]

【Then let's see who among these ten is the best!】 The narrator's voice disappeared again, and Xiao Yulin regained control of her body, immediately becoming wary of her surroundings. It was clear that the others did not want to be the first to stand out, and were all cautiously guarding against everyone.

"Speaking of which, was the introduction just now about my real name... Could it be that Tianhuo's name is Li Lingchen?" As Xiao Yulin thought this, she didn't forget to look around. The space here was only about one-third the size of the other ten death arenas, and the distance between the ten people was not very far.

"I say, everyone... it's not good for us to just stand here like this," unexpectedly, it was Tianhuo who broke the long silence. "Can't we just finish this quickly?"

"You make it sound so easy," Qi Tong sneered. "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

“That’s right, why don’t you go first?” Yu De chimed in, and everyone burst into laughter. “Alright, I’ll go first.” Tian Huo unleashed his rocket attack without hesitation, aiming it at Yu De. Seeing the danger, Yu De quickly took a large step to the right to dodge the rocket attack, but he couldn’t avoid death.

Yu De looked unwillingly at the spear that had pierced his body, which turned into a white light, and the arena fell silent.

"So you did make a move after all," Tianhuo sneered.

"Aren't you the same?" Xiao Yulin retorted, casually flicking his spear.

"You stole my prey." Tianhuo's lips curled into a clear smile, his eyes narrowed, clearly displeased that Xiao Yulin had stolen the kill.

"Heh." Xiao Yulin chuckled lightly, revealing an extremely radiant smile. "I'm not just going to steal your prey, I'm going to... kill you!"

"Hmph!" The Heavenly Fire Netherfire form was activated. As the magic shield and Fire Demon Devouring were stacked, the Demon Phoenix Blaze was used instantly. One phoenix rushed into the rain, while the other two phoenixes rushed towards the other onlookers. Then, the skill was not used again.

I know I've never mentioned this before, but you should know that Oracles have a mana pool. However, most of the mana for Skyfire spells can be restored with a piece of equipment, but not for Demon Phoenix Blaze. This skill's mana consumption is just too OP, extremely high.

The three Demon Phoenix Blazes almost depleted all his mana, so he can't use this skill anymore, otherwise his mana regeneration won't keep up.
