My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

"Hey... let go..."

"Hey~ it's just a best friend holding hands, what's there to be shy about? And I haven't settled the score with you for flirting with me last time..."

"Didn't you forgive me?!"

"When did I ever say I forgave you? Oh dear, I forgot, I'm so sorry!"

Unable to dissuade Lin Yin, Leng Yihan had no choice but to let Lin Yin lead him by the arm as they strolled through the supermarket.

After arriving at the chicken wing section, I took a quick look around, grabbed a bag of chicken wings, and headed towards the produce section.

"Ah...right...um, Yihan~"

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Leng Yihan asked, puzzled, seeing Lin Yin's face suddenly turn red.

"No! No, it's nothing. I'll get it myself. I want to have beef stew with potatoes for dinner! I'll come find you in a bit!"

After saying that, Lin Yin left in a hurry, leaving Leng Yihan looking bewildered.

What's going on...?

Confused, Leng Yihan pushed the cart to the produce section, put three potatoes in a plastic bag, and when she saw that Leng Binglan had not returned, she pushed the cart to the beverage section.

Leng Binglan was indeed there, and she was looking at the two bottles of cola in front of her, muttering something under her breath.

"Ice Blue?"

"Hey? Yihan, you're just in time. Do you think Pepsi or Coca-Cola chicken wings are better?" Hearing Leng Yihan's voice, Leng Binglan snapped out of her daze, picked up the two bottles of cola in front of her, and asked Leng Yihan.

"It tastes good, doesn't it? It seems to make you feel more satisfied."

I put a bottle of Coca-Cola in my shopping cart and was just about to go find Lin Yin when Leng Binglan suddenly tugged at my clothes.

"Um... what's wrong with you too..."

Seeing Leng Binglan blush, Leng Yihan immediately thought of Lin Yin's appearance a few minutes ago.

She suddenly blushed, and then looked at him as if she had something to say but was too embarrassed to say it.

"Um... could you come with me to buy... sanitary napkins...?"

"Huh? What?"

Leng Binglan's voice grew softer and softer until the last three words were completely inaudible.

"I said! Can you come with me to buy! Buy, buy, buy... sanitary napkins..."

The sound is still very soft... Oh, so you wanted to buy sanitary napkins... Hmm? What are sanitary napkins again?

"Sanitary napkins?"

The words were spoken unconsciously, and the air fell silent for a moment.

"Ahem, let's go, you lead the way, you lead the way."

Leng Binglan turned her back to Leng Yihan and walked ahead without saying a word.

When they arrived at the place selling sanitary napkins, Leng Yihan saw Lin Yin looking at something in front of the shelf.

I think I need to leave, otherwise Lin Yin might kill me.

"Binglan, if Lin Yin is here, you can keep an eye on things with her for now. I'll go see if there's anything else I haven't bought yet. Just wait for me at the cashier later~" As he spoke, Leng Yihan pulled the cart backwards, leaving this place of trouble for him.

Wow! This is so awkward! It's so uncomfortable!

Leng Yihan covered her face in agony, feeling utterly helpless. Her unintentional remark had led to this incredibly awkward situation.

After casually buying a few pears and apples, Leng Yihan pushed the cart towards the cashier. The two women were indeed nearby, but outside. They had obviously paid for their own purchases and were carrying a plastic bag.

There wasn't much food. They still had beef at home, so it was just a bottle of cola, potatoes, apples, pears, and chicken wings. After packing everything in the eco-friendly bag they usually bring when they go grocery shopping, Leng Yihan left the supermarket.

Why didn't Yihan wait for me?

A hand suddenly pressed down on Leng Yihan's shoulder, and Lin Yin's smiling face appeared before her.

But something feels off.

"...Hahaha, let's talk about it at home, okay? Okay..." Seeing Lin Yin's increasingly worse expression, Leng Yihan laughed awkwardly and quickened her pace towards home, eventually turning into a run.

"Stop right there!"

Anger that's completely inexplicable! It's toxic!

When Leng Yihan got home, she was first beaten up by Lin Yin before she was allowed to make dinner. Although it didn't hurt, Leng Yihan still felt extremely wronged.

I didn't do anything, why am I suddenly angry? Maybe my period has started.

It was already 7:30 after they finished eating, so the two of them hurriedly went online to play games, leaving Leng Binglan alone on the sofa playing on Leng Yihan's phone.

It seems that Leng Yihan's resources will eventually be discovered by Leng Binglan.

"Game started."

With a soft utterance, darkness enveloped him once more, and when he came to his senses, he was already standing in the arena.

Originally, Leng Yihan logged off in her own free room, but since there was no one left in the room, the free room was automatically closed. Those who log off in the free room will be automatically logged back in the arena.

Looking at the sea of ​​people in the arena, they're probably all crowding into the spectator rooms for the ranked matches.

All 99 people on the God Ranking can be spectated. Each person has their own room. If you want to challenge someone, you just need to select who you want to challenge in your room and you will be automatically teleported to that person's challenge room.

After squeezing through the crowd for ages, Leng Yihan finally managed to get into her room, and upon seeing the number of spectators…

"480,000???" Leng Yihan couldn't believe his eyes for a moment, but a subsequent email put his mind at ease.

It was an official email stating that the top three ranked matches on the leaderboard would be streamed live on various platforms, and the number of viewers the host would see would include those from all the real-world platforms.

"So why are there so many people here... my ass! I'm so nervous watching 480,000 people watch me play in the ladder tournament!" Leng Yihan said, but there was no way to change the fact that this was the case, unless she had to drop out of the top three on the God Ranking.

When the time came, the ladder competition officially began, but he remained idle as the number one. After all, those ranked 6th to 2nd had to defend their positions once or defeat someone ranked higher than them before they could challenge him, so no one challenged him for the time being.

One thing worth mentioning is that during ranked matches, if the player being challenged is offline, the challenge will automatically be considered a failure. However, this player can only be challenged once, and can challenge the person who knocked him off the leader's spot again when he logs back in.

To put it simply, imagine someone ranked 99 challenges someone ranked 94, but if the 94th person is offline, the 99th person automatically becomes the 99th. Then, if the 99th person comes online, they can challenge the person who originally pushed them down to rank 50. If they win, the two people switch places. It's a very desperate situation.

20:03

The first battle finally ended. After successfully challenging Void, who was ranked third on the God Ranking, the fourth-ranked Elf Fairy issued a challenge to him. Challenges cannot be refused, and the two were directly teleported to the center of the arena.

"The Elf Fairy... Void actually got knocked down, that's quite embarrassing..." The Elf Fairy is a hunter who uses a crossbow, while Void is a dual-wielding assassin.

The Assassin class is a strong counter to the Hunter. The crossbow's attack speed is already slow, and the Assassin's level 70 skill doubles the critical hit effect and grants immunity to fatal damage. It lasts for 1 second at level 1, and the duration increases by 0.05 seconds with each level.

Not only did she fail to kill him with a single combo, but she was also instantly killed by an assassination followed by a heavy blow. It's truly a miracle that the Elf Demoness was able to defeat the Void this time.

"3!"

The system's cold voice sounded, and the countdown began.

"2!"

The two were about 50 meters apart. Luckily, the opponent was a ranged attacker; if the opponent had been a melee attacker, the distance would have been 25 meters.

"1! Start!" The barrier separating the two disappeared, and the Elf Fairy was instantly within the attack range of the Big Dipper as Leng Yihan's Triple Slash cleared the way.

There was no rush to use it. At this moment, not only could the Big Dipper teleport her to her side, but there was also the Silver Light Slash.

As soon as the Elf Fairy saw that the Extreme Cold Triple Slash was finished, she immediately aimed and fired an arrow. The closer the crossbow was, the higher the damage. This arrow could instantly take away more than 20% of Leng Yihan's health.

"What a pity, you're a hunter."

The Big Dipper used its teleportation ability to teleport to the Elf Fairy's side and unleashed seven consecutive slashes. Seeing the extreme cold approaching, it tanked the damage and instantly unleashed a charged shot.

Compared to bows, crossbows not only lack sustained and long-range firepower, but also have the advantage of charged shots.

In Oracle, most classes can use two types of weapons, and each type of weapon has different skill effects.

The crossbow's charged shot is an instantaneous fire with strong recoil, but in close combat, the recoil can be used to instantly create distance.

But the moment the charged shot was unleashed, Leng Yihan suddenly disappeared from the Elf Fairy's sight, accompanied by a silver slash that sent the Elf Fairy flying into the air.

After using her sword intent on the spot, Leng Yihan put away her katana and drew her blood-red greatsword from her back. With a rising dragon slash and the weight of the greatsword, she sent the elf demon flying extremely high into the air.

Then Leng Yihan immediately unleashed a six-pointed sword formation in mid-air. The 'swords' in the six-pointed sword formation change according to the weapon wielded by the swordsman. Greatswords deal extremely high damage, but the casting speed is slow, so the timing of using the six-pointed sword formation is crucial.

The swordsman's specialty is switching between different weapons to unleash combos. He immediately sheathes his greatsword, draws his katana, charges up a sword-drawing slash, and unleashes it the instant the six-pointed sword array ends and the elf fairy falls. The elf fairy's remaining 59% health disappears instantly, resulting in her instant death.

"I'm happiest when fighting hunters. Without a way to break free, you're dead if you get close. It's so easy. Next time I fight, I'll remember to use a skill to break free, miss." Extreme Cold waved at the Elf Fairy, who reluctantly teleported back to her room.

Leng Yihan returned to his room with a flourish, unaware that the comments on various platforms were already stunned by his final strike that reduced the Elf Demoness's health by 59%.

'No way? One hit and you took away 59% of someone's health? Are you cheating?'

'Is the number one on the god rankings cheating? That sword-drawing slash was so fake!'

"You guys haven't seen anyone else fight Yu Xiao, have you? Once, Yu Xiao made a mistake and didn't interrupt Ji Han's charged sword slash; 70% of his health was wiped out in an instant, like 1%!"

"Were you kidding me earlier? Even if Yu Xiao is playing a damage-dealing spear knight, he's still a knight. Are knights that fragile?"

The chat was buzzing with heated arguments, almost all revolving around the claim of instantly killing someone with a single strike. Some accused it of being a cheat, while others argued that a cheat could reduce a person's health by so much in one hit. Furthermore, the game had never had a cheater since its launch, which is almost impossible for a wildly popular game to be without cheaters, yet the game had none.

Although the comments were arguing fiercely, Leng Yihan couldn't see them at all; he was busy adding skill effects to his greatsword, Flame Four.

Why is it called Yan Si? Because Yan Er and Yan San sound bad.

After adding a critical hit and attack speed bonus effect, Leng Yihan sheathed her greatsword and waited for the next match.

2:08

Finally, someone else is challenging me. Looking at the newcomer...

Void? Not bad, this guy must have made some kind of secret deal with the Elf Fairy. It's alright that he got it back.

Looking at the assassin Leng Yihan wielding two swords opposite her, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
