Meanwhile, Lin Yin performed exceptionally well, eliminating the assassin ranked 15th on the God Ranking, Sun... Next, she will directly challenge for the top ten on the God Ranking. Her opponent in this battle is the third-ranked mage in the entire server, a special class of lightning mage, Thunderclap.

[The number 15th ranked user on the God Ranking, 'Tone,' has issued a challenge. Do you accept?]

"Hmm? Voice..." Po Jinglei, who was resting in his room, frowned and thought for a while after seeing the name. He did not immediately press confirm, but searched his mind for information about voice. After remembering the information about her, Po Jinglei's frown relaxed.

"Hmph, is that Jihan's girl? Challenging me is just a way to break into the top ten of the God Ranking in one go... Well then, let me see if you have the ability."

A flash of white light appeared, and Po Jinglei, dressed in a dark blue robe, held a thick, long staff—a staff! Don't get the wrong idea!

What can one say about Po Jinglei? He's like one of those rough men in the martial arts world—crude in speech, but loyal and righteous. He was once incredibly arrogant, but after being brutally defeated by the number one mage in the national server, he became much more restrained.

However, this does not mean that he has completely stopped being arrogant. After losing to the number one mage in the Chinese server, Tianhuo, he learned his lesson and began to actively collect information about everyone on the God Ranking and memorize it. He would fight against those he believed were stronger than him with 100% strength and various strategies to counter them. As for those weaker than him... a default Arena match would suffice.

"The arena defaults... It really sounds like something that guy Po Jinglei would do," Lin Yin muttered. She was currently wearing a black coat over a black short-sleeved bodysuit and tight shorts, similar to what Leng Yihan was wearing. (Yes, they were matching outfits, but Leng Yihan wore a black coat over a loose black short-sleeved shirt and black athletic pants—both available in the Oracle's shops.) Of course, these were just costumes; the actual equipment wasn't being worn, and costumes didn't provide any attribute bonuses. I seem to have digressed a bit... Let's get back to the main point.

"Hey! You're the girl from Extreme Cold!"

"Tsk... How can you speak so rudely?" Lin Yin raised her hand and shot an arrow at Po Jinglei. This was an explosive arrow, and it wasn't aimed at Po Jinglei, but at the floor beneath his feet.

"Pah, I don't like arguing with you about these civilizations. If you want to get into the top ten of the God Ranking, you'd better rely on your own strength. I don't accept you relying on your body." Po Jinglei said, walking to the side and out of the range of the explosive arrow. He raised his staff. Lin Yin's expression gradually turned cold after hearing his words.

"Hmph..." Lin Yin snorted coldly, her hands no longer stopping, and she shot out seven arrows in a row. Po Jing Lei waved his staff, and a wall of lightning appeared out of thin air between the two of them, blocking Lin Yin's seven arrows.

However, when the last arrow touched the lightning wall, the entire lightning wall gradually began to freeze, turning into an ice wall, and a faint chill rose from the ground.

[Equipment: Extreme Cold (God-tier)]

[Type: Weapon (Longbow)]

[Attack Power: How high is the attack power? Hehehe...]

[Weapon Effect 1: Chill (Each attack has a 52.1% chance to freeze everything, and deals an additional 520% ​​physical attack true damage to frozen targets.)]

[Weapon Effect 2: Flashbang (All damage dealt is true damage.)]

[Weapon Effect 3: Wife-Protecting Maniac (When in mortal danger, summons a swordsman's clone, possessing 94.1% of that person's strength, lasting 5.21 seconds, with a 300-second cooldown. What? You're asking who it is? Who is it? Hehehe...)]

[Weapon Effect 4: Berserk (Active skill. After use, attack power, attack speed, casting speed, and movement speed are all increased by 1000% for 5.21 seconds. Cooldown: 52.1 seconds.)]

[Equipment Requirements: Level 70 or above, deep affection, and ten years of shared time]

[Note: The depth of his love for Han is unprecedented and will likely remain unmatched.]

This is such a malicious weapon, and how it was obtained... we'll reveal that later. Right now, the most important thing is to deal with the Thunderclap before us.

"Tch, what a nuisance." Po Jinglei spat, raised his staff, and the scene changed dramatically as he unleashed his level 75 ultimate move—Wind and Thunder Frenzy.

A gust of wind swept across the field, plunging it into a long silence. Then came the omniscient thunder and lightning, striking every spot on the field with a dense barrage of bolts. This move, until now, had remained unbroken except by the top nine on the God Ranking. Lin Yin couldn't break it either, but…

The duration of Wind and Thunder Frenzy is only 3 seconds. Although it has an extremely short casting time and high damage, its cooldown time also means that it is impossible to release Wind and Thunder Frenzy a second time in a battle. The lightning of Wind and Thunder Frenzy also destroyed the ice wall that was blocking Po Jinglei's vision not far away. And the next moment, he was shocked.

A doll-like creature, with one arm around Lin Yin's waist and the other holding a katana, was unleashing a charged shot the instant the ice wall shattered. At such close range, it was impossible to dodge. Po Jing Lei reacted with astonishing speed, roaring as three layers of shields appeared in front of him. The first layer was instantly blasted apart by the charged shot, but the second layer only showed half a crack. At this moment, Feng Lai Lei Feng had also stopped, but the strange swordsman still had two seconds left.

The swordsman loosened his grip on Lin Yin's right hand, gently placing her on the ground. In the next instant, he reappeared, his left hand no longer holding a katana, but a greatsword. The swordsman held the greatsword, preparing to charge up his attack. In just one second, he unleashed a swift slash. The greatsword seemed to become ethereal as it struck Broken Thunder's shield, piercing through it and landing squarely on Lin Yin's body.

With a greatsword draw slash, the swordsman unleashed 94.1% of his power, instantly reducing Thunderclap's health from full to 1%. At that moment, the swordsman vanished.

However, what Po Jing Lei was about to face was a barrage of arrows, like a storm, a combination of Berserk mode, stationary shooting, and the Hunter's active skill, Phantom Arrow Dance.

[Skill: Phantom Arrow Dance]

[Learning Level: 75]

[Cooldown: 150 seconds]

[Effect: After activation, each shot will leave two afterimages, which will deal 50% of the original damage, lasting for 10 seconds.]

Unable to upgrade

The next moment, a rain of arrows fell, and Thunderclap's already meager shield shattered instantly. His last 1% of health vanished the instant the shield disappeared, and the victor of this battle was revealed…

[The Winner: Tone]

[Player 'Tone', ranked 15th on the God Ranking, has successfully challenged player 'Thunderclap', ranked 10th. The rankings have been swapped. With a difference of ≥5 places between the two players, player 'Thunderclap' is no longer permitted to challenge player 'Tone' in this ranked tournament.]

After a three-second countdown, players will be teleported back to their respective rest rooms.

[3……2……1]

[Transmission initiated.]

Lin Yin has made it into the top 10 of the God Ranking and has become a household name. As for Leng Binglan, she has crushed almost every challenger she has faced. So far, no one has been able to put up a fight against her. She has defended the top spot on the Heaven Ranking five times in a row, relying solely on the Desolate Dragon. The next step is to challenge the God Ranking. This time, Leng Binglan does not plan to use the Desolate Dragon, but will rely on her own strength to challenge others and succeed.

[The number one ranked player on the Heavenly Ranking, 'Blue Moon,' has issued a challenge. Do you accept?]

The person ranked 99th on the God Ranking was stunned for a moment after seeing it, and then realized what was going on.

"Looks like this game's over. But it's about time, isn't it? It's time for Oracle to quit the game." His name was Uncle Pingfan, and like his name, he was ordinary. His appearance was ordinary, his abilities were ordinary, his family was ordinary, many things about him were ordinary, but…

He was once extraordinary in the divine oracle; he once rose to second place on the divine ranking, successfully pushing Yu Xiao down from third place, and almost defeated Leng Yihan.

However, he had already started to struggle to make a living. A year ago, his life finally took an extraordinary turn when he was noticed by his superiors and promoted to a higher position. He was busy with work every day to support his wife and family. He no longer had much time to continue playing this game.

After this battle, he will leave the game for good. He might come back to take another look years later, but whether anyone will remember him is another matter.

"Blue Moon..." Uncle Pingfan murmured the name. After all, it was his opponent in his final battle. Regardless of winning or losing, he should remember this name well.

“Uncle Pingfan…the one who almost defeated Brother Yihan…” Leng Binglan realized who her opponent was at this moment. Although he was only ranked 99th on the God Ranking, Leng Binglan did not dare to underestimate someone who had such a glorious record.

"We must win this battle."

"I hope this battle will leave no regrets."

65. About Uncle Pingfan and Goodbye, Oracle.

"Hey Lao Fan, in a hurry to get home?" In the office, a young and handsome man walked up behind Uncle Pingfan and patted him on the shoulder.

His name is Cheng Tong. He just started his internship at the company and is considered Uncle Pingfan's junior. "I'm not that old," Uncle Pingfan said without turning his head, tidying up the reports on his desk.

"Hey, let's not talk about that. Uncle Fan, have you heard of that really popular game, Oracle, which just launched recently?" Cheng Tong walked around to Uncle Fan's desk and waited for him there.

"Waiting for me again today?"

"After all, I really like you~ I'd love to share some interesting stories I've heard with you." Cheng Tong said to Uncle Pingfan with a slightly eerie smile, which made Uncle Pingfan shrink back in fright. "Let me make it clear first, I have a wife, so don't you dare mess around with me." By the time he finished saying that, his report was almost finished. He just needed to hand it in to the minister and he could go home after get off work.

"Oh, just kidding! Come on, let's go grab a drink."

"Sigh... I don't understand why you, handsome young man, hang out with me all day. There are so many beautiful women in the company, why don't you go after them instead of coming to me? Anyway, I'm going to hand this report to the department head first." Uncle Pingfan picked up the report, and Cheng Tong didn't stop him, making way for him to walk past.

A dozen minutes later, Uncle Pingfan returned to his desk, while Cheng Tong... was browsing some strange websites on Uncle Pingfan's computer. "Hey, what are you doing?" Uncle Pingfan snatched the mouse and shut down the computer in a few quick movements.

"Oh? Uncle Fan, you're all set! Come on, let's go buy that Oracle game helmet!"

"Huh? I have to go home. My wife is about to start cooking..."

"It's okay, Uncle Fan, it won't take too long. Let's go, let's go, and tomorrow is our holiday~"

"Ugh... Don't be so disgusting, you big man. I'll go with you, okay? Be normal." Uncle Pingfan looked at Cheng Tong's affected manner with disgust. After hearing Uncle Pingfan's confirmation, Cheng Tong dropped his affected expression and returned to normal. "Let's go, let's go, Uncle Pingfan!"

"I give up on you, kid..." Uncle Pingfan shook his head, packed up the things he brought to the company, put on his shoulder bag, and left the company with Cheng Tong.

Uncle Pingfan, whose real name is Lin Fan, is an ordinary person. His grades from elementary school to graduation were neither low nor high. They were not the kind of grades that would attract attention, nor were they the kind that required supervision from teachers and parents.

In terms of appearance, although Lin Fan is not ugly, he is not handsome either. He has an absolutely ordinary face, very ordinary, and his whole person exudes a very ordinary temperament, which can be perfectly integrated into the crowd.

After university... he graduated from an ordinary university, went to an ordinary company, worked hard for several years, and now the company is growing bigger and bigger, but Lin Fan is still just an ordinary employee.

His family wasn't particularly wealthy or powerful; they were just ordinary people. He married an ordinary wife who wasn't especially beautiful, but they lived a happy life together. They had ordinary children and lived an ordinary life...

This is what Lin Fan thought: he might just live an ordinary life like this. He was so ordinary in his career, so ordinary in his love life, so ordinary in his family life. Maybe he was just an ordinary or average person.

"Oh! Uncle Fan, look! It's over there!" After leaving the company, Uncle Pingfan and Cheng Tong walked a street or two and arrived at what could be called the largest shopping mall in their city. So far, the only place where they could buy the Oracle game helmet was the only place.

As soon as the two entered the mall, they saw a newly opened store on the first floor. The words "The Oracle" for their game were prominently displayed at the entrance. Cheng Tong and Lin Fan, with completely different feelings, joined the last line. Even though the store was large and could accommodate many people, many were still squeezed outside. At this moment, Cheng Tong grabbed Lin Fan's arm, revealing an innocent smile, "Senior, you'll queue with me, right?"

"Fine... I give up..." Uncle Pingfan said somewhat reluctantly, but he suddenly became curious about who this divine deity was and why it was so popular. It was the first time he had ever seen such a lively scene because of a game.

Uncle Pingfan peeked out and estimated that at the current pace, it would be quite late by the time it was their turn. He had no choice but to turn on his phone and tell his wife that he would be going home late that night. After honestly explaining his reason, Uncle Pingfan looked at his phone and waited for his wife's reply. Then his wife replied, "Men should play games. A man who doesn't play games isn't a man!" She agreed to let him wait in line and even allowed him to buy a gaming helmet.

Wow! Uncle Fan's wife is so good to him.

"Yeah, but whether I'll actually buy it is still uncertain. Maybe I won't be interested in this game at all," Uncle Pingfan replied.

As time passed, Uncle Pingfan and Cheng Tong moved further and further forward in line. After half an hour, they finally reached the door and it was their turn to enter.

"Let me state upfront that I might not actually buy it."

"Oh, enough talk, let's go!"

After arriving at the store, the two began browsing. They first went to the display case of game helmets to check their size and appearance, and then received two instruction manuals from the staff. These manuals contained a brief introduction to the background of the Oracle world, as well as information on how to log in and the terms and conditions.

"It seems pretty average," Uncle Pingfan said, closing the instruction manual in his hand, and began to hesitate about whether or not to buy it.

"Hey? Buy it, otherwise I'll get so bored playing by myself..."

"You rascal..." Uncle Pingfan looked at Cheng Tong, who was starting to act coquettishly again, with a black line on his face. Unexpectedly, he heard a voice in his ear, "In this world... you are destined to be extraordinary."

……

Uncle Pingfan turned his head and saw a promotional video for the game "Oracle." The exquisite, lifelike visuals caught his eye for the first time, and it was also the first time he felt a deep interest in a game. Of course, this might only be one of the reasons, and perhaps not even the main reason. Only he himself knew the real reason.
