My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

"I don't know, it might not be the same." Leng Binglan made this statement much clearer. Since there are already things that the parallel world of Youming doesn't have, there's no guarantee that there won't be things that other parallel worlds don't have.

"Sigh... It feels like you guys are having a chat like gods, I can't get a word in edgewise," Lin Yin complained. Indeed, she couldn't get a word in edgewise, she didn't even understand some of the things Leng Binglan said.

"It's alright, haha." Leng Yihan chuckled awkwardly. Lin Yin could understand what the two were talking about next, so their conversation turned into a three-person chat. They had only talked for half of the time when they arrived at Hall 1. From their position, they could see the two hundred dark gaming pods in the center, which were used by the 200 players who came to participate in the offline event.

Leng Yihan led the two women around for a while and quickly found the reporting area. After reporting to the staff, all three of them received an electronic instruction manual. After finding it in the email address of the Oracle's forum account, Leng Yihan began to browse it.

This competition uses an elimination system; losing just one match ends the tournament, and this mechanism will continue until the match before the semifinals.

When only seven players remain on the field, the format changes to a best-of-five (BO5) series.

The maps for this competition are all randomly generated, and the matchmaking system is 200 players randomly matched into 1v1 matches. If the number of players is odd, one player will be randomly selected to receive a bye and advance directly.

[In the round of 7, the team that receives a bye will trail their opponent by one point in both the current and next rounds, meaning they start 1-0. The more byes a team receives, the greater the score gap will be.]

[Prizes for this year's champion: 50,000 RMB cash, 10 million game coins, a special custom figurine, and one additional alt account]

[The runner-up prizes include: 30,000 RMB cash, 10 million game coins, a custom character body pillow, and one additional alt account.]

[Third Place Prize: 10,000 RMB cash, 10 million game coins, a custom Q-version character T-shirt, and one additional account]

[Participants: (The following list of 200 participants is omitted, otherwise just thinking of names would be a nightmare. I'll only introduce a few I'm familiar with.)]

【Mu Chengfeng (Melee Priest)】

[Ranking in the Ladder Tournament: 95th]

【Rain Flute (Long Lance Knight)】

[Ranking in the Ladder Tournament: 3th]

[Heavenly Fire (Netherworld Demon)]

[Ranking in the Ladder Tournament: 4th]

【Elf Fairy (Crossbow Hunter)】

[Ranking in the Ladder Tournament: 7th]

[Just hammer it all (Melee Priest)]

[Ranking in the Ladder Tournament: 8th]

The above is what we introduced earlier. Of course, many amateur masters participated in this competition, as well as some apprentices of amateur masters and apprentices of professional players, for example... let me just pick one out for you.

【Moon (Grapple Assassin)】

[Ranking in the Ladder Tournament: 76th]

This person's mentor is Taiyang. It's worth mentioning that Taiyang's current ranking has reached 11th, but he just can't beat anyone in the top ten, so he's stuck in this incredibly awkward position of 11th place.

As time ticked by, and I didn't want to waste any more time talking, Leng Yihan, backstage, soon heard a lot of noise coming from afar. Looking at the time, oh, the video game expo had opened, but the competition hadn't started yet.

After resting for about half an hour, the competition began. Everyone first showed their faces on stage, and then they went into the game pods that the organizers had arranged and assigned to them.

[Login Character: Extreme Cold]

Matchmaking complete. No byes in this round. Your opponent is: Snow Scorpion.

[Starting random map generation...]

[Map confirmed: The End of the Ocean]

Soon Leng Yihan appeared in mid-air. Just as he was trying to recall who the Snow Scorpion was, he realized that he was falling straight down into an endless sea. Although falling into the water would not kill him, close combat would undoubtedly become very difficult.

"Hmm... I'll use it here then." As Leng Yihan thought about it, she already had a skill scroll in her hand. She immediately used the skill scroll, and a pair of wings appeared out of thin air behind her. The wings were ice blue and reflected the sunlight shining down from the sky. The downward trend was reduced, and Leng Yihan floated in the air.

"Hmm...it really works."

[Skill Scroll: Ice Crystal Wings (Special Skill)]

[Skill Effect: Gain a pair of wings covered in ice crystals, greatly increasing the player's defense for 60 minutes.]

Just after Leng Yihan used up the skill, the system's voice rang in his ears again.

The main questline has been refreshed.

[Defeat opponent Snow Scorpion.]

The side quests have been refreshed.

[Help Ice Crystal Heart Nightmo achieve victory in her duel against Void Witch Rain Sky Love.]

Just as the main quest refreshed, Leng Yihan turned around and saw a figure slowly approaching from a distance. The wings on her back were somewhat similar to those on Leng Yihan's back, but these were far more dazzling... far more dazzling...

"That must be Ye Mi, right? The side quest is to help her win the duel..." Leng Yihan was about to go up to her, but then he stopped in his tracks, as if he had thought of something, and turned around to dive into the sea and swim in one direction.

-

On the other hand, Snow Scorpion's situation is undoubtedly similar to Leng Yihan's. Putting that aside, her profession is a swordsman, and her master... is simply named Frost, yes, the same Frost who once tricked and defeated Leng Binglan.

Although Snow Scorpion doesn't have Leng Yihan's ability to float, her equipment has a special effect that allows her to defy gravity and stand on liquid as if floating. With this, Snow Scorpion won't be in too much of an awkward position in this battle, at least not in a completely one-sided situation, because she can rely on NPCs.

Just as Snow Scorpion was feeling unlucky to have encountered Leng Yihan in the first round, a dark figure was approaching from a distance. At that moment, Snow Scorpion was looking at the mission and did not notice the figure getting closer and closer.

"The main quest is to kill Jihan... The side quest is to help the Void Witch Yu Kongai win the duel against the Ice Crystal Heart Ye Mi, hmm... should I do it?"

"Who are you?" Just as Snow Scorpion was still thinking, someone suddenly said a sentence behind her. Startled, she turned around and immediately launched a Rising Dragon Slash. The newcomer did not expect Snow Scorpion to act so decisively. Before he could dodge, he was hit by Snow Scorpion's Rising Dragon Slash and suffered almost full damage.

After Snow Scorpion made her move, she realized that the person she was attacking was none other than the Void Witch Rain Sky Love, the target of the side quest. She quickly canceled the Rising Dragon Slash. Just as Rain Sky Love was about to fall into the sea, Snow Scorpion immediately reached out and grabbed her, pulling her up into the air.

"Sorry... I attacked without seeing who it was... You startled me." Snow Scorpion said apologetically. In the end, he attacked without saying a word and didn't even see who the other person was. "Ah... Is that so? Well, it's my fault too. I startled you, so you were startled and immediately retaliated. I guess I brought it on myself. I'm sorry~" Rain Sky Ai said, sticking out her tongue cutely.

"That being said, who are you? Oh, by the way, you can just call me Xiao Ai~"

-

“Found her…” Leng Yihan poked her head out from the water, her gaze settling on a small-looking little girl floating in the air in the distance. “That must be Mu Xue… with those twin ponytails.”

It's pretty much confirmed now... This is a world where reason prevails. I happen to have read that novel before, and the current plot should be the third volume... the chapter where Ye Mi and Xiao Ai are fighting over Mu Xue. I don't quite remember which chapter it is, but it's a bit of a pity in the end. Not only did they not settle their score, but it also led to Ye Mi's misunderstanding later on.

"But what should I do...? Should I abandon this side quest and just go and kill the Snow Scorpion, or should I change this world line so that Ye Mi can achieve final victory? But that would undoubtedly require taking down Mu Xue first, otherwise her... 'Absolute Defense' is very troublesome." Just as Leng Yihan was thinking, he had already left the seabed, his wings flapping on his back, hovering a little above the sea level.

Mu Xue quickly noticed the other people and looked at Leng Yihan, but her gaze held a hint of doubt, as if she was wondering why there were other people here.

"Ah, this is so frustrating, what should I do?" Just as Leng Yihan was still hesitating, Mu Xue flew down and slowly approached Leng Yihan.

"Um... excuse me, may I ask who you are?" Mu Xue asked with a lot of questions in her voice, always keeping a safe distance from Leng Yihan in case she was suddenly attacked.

"Oh right, their duel seems to be similar to booking a room in the oracle, right? How should I explain that?" Leng Yihan naturally asked this question in her mind, but in Mu Xue's eyes, Leng Yihan was just staring at her expressionlessly.

The two then found themselves in a very strange standoff, staring at each other. Leng Yihan was wondering whether she should disrupt the plot, while Mu Xue was thinking... Who is this person?

"...I guess I'll just give up on that idea." Leng Yihan finally abandoned the idea. This light novel might not be comparable to many masterpieces, but it was one of the few that really suited his taste. Even now, he could still flip through it and find it captivating. He didn't want to ruin the original plot, nor would he allow anyone else to do so.

Leng Yihan glanced at a figure not far away, who was quickly heading towards a sea area some distance away. If she remembered correctly, that was the place where Xiao Ai and Ye Mi fought in the original work.

On the other side, a dark figure also arrived quickly, accompanied by another person, Snow Scorpion.

"This won't do. We can't let anyone ruin this plot." These words weren't just in his mind, but were spoken aloud in front of Mu Xue. He activated his sword intent, plunged into the water, and used the ocean's cover to quickly approach Snow Scorpion. He was determined to create distance between her and Yu Kongai as soon as possible and then defeat them quickly.

The longer it drags on, the greater the chance of unforeseen changes. Perhaps this is a chance to see several different endings, but Leng Yihan would rather see the ending written by the original author than the ending she has altered.

If there's another chance, and I get this map randomly again, I'll tamper with it again at this time. At least he won't do that now.

Soon, Snow Scorpion had entered Leng Yihan's attack range, but she still didn't notice. Instead, she looked at Ice Crystal Heart Night in the distance. But the next moment, a premonition of death rose in her heart, and she hurriedly tried to dodge, but Leng Yihan's sword slash had already struck her.

"I'm sorry, the last thing you should have done was get involved with this script, otherwise you could have lived a little longer." After Leng Yihan finished speaking, Snow Scorpion's health was exhausted, and it turned into a white light and disappeared from the scene. Looking back at Yu Kongai's strange expression, Leng Yihan did not linger and chose to leave. The next moment, he also turned into a white light and disappeared from the three people's sight.

"Is this... a ghost?"

"Who knows..."

"Junior Sister Xiao Ai, forget about everything else! Mu Xue must be mine! Come on!"

[Test complete, winner of round one: Extreme Cold]

[Matchmaking has begun; waiting for other players to finish their matches...]

The first match ended so quickly. The two contestants probably only had about five seconds to meet before Snow Scorpion was instantly defeated. But that's normal. Even if her master had all the advantages, he might not be able to beat Leng Yihan when she was holding back. So how could he possibly beat Leng Yihan when she was using her full strength?

"I wonder who my next opponent will be. Hopefully, it'll be someone I can really enjoy." Leng Yihan had already returned to her rest room and was sitting on the sofa. Bored, she started watching the matches in other rooms...

74. Regarding the start of the second round with the SCP Foundation

This match will be a 1v1 single-elimination game, and your opponent will be randomly matched.

[Confirmation complete: All players have finished their match and are now being matched with opponents.]

Matchmaking complete. No byes in this round. Your opponent is: Hopeful Theory.

[Starting random map generation...]

[Map confirmed: SCP Foundation]

As soon as the system finished speaking, Leng Yihan felt a sense of unease. The surrounding environment was pitch black, but thanks to the boost her level provided, she could still sense something was off in the air.

"Hiss... What was that map again?" Leng Yihan shifted his gaze away from the front and looked around, but at this moment, the name of the map gradually came back to him.

“SCP Foundation?” Leng Yihan muttered to herself, recalling an SCP project in her mind. She forcibly turned her body around, staring intently at SCP-173, which was right behind her and whose hand had almost snapped her head off.

“Wow…SCP-173…” Leng Yihan stared intently, not daring to look away. The surrounding environment was pitch black, making it impossible to judge what the facilities in the room were like.

"I remember... even nuclear weapons can't destroy SCP-173. I wonder if I can destroy it with a skill, otherwise what should I do?" Leng Yihan placed his hand on the hilt of his katana, pondered for a few seconds, and then resolutely decided to charge up his sword and perform a draw slash. Otherwise, he would just be stuck here staring at SCP-173, and he definitely wouldn't be able to hold on. Even if destroying SCP-173 had some negative effects, if he didn't try, he would be stuck here.

Time ticked by, Leng Yihan's eyes fixed on SCP-173 without blinking. But he was nearing his limit. In the split second before he could blink, Leng Yihan unleashed a swift, deadly strike, severing SCP-173 in half. As Leng Yihan blinked in relief, he realized that SCP-173's upper body was gone…

"Me!" As Leng Yihan unleashed a triple slash, she turned around and saw only half of SCP-173 remaining. After being seen by Leng Yihan, it collapsed helplessly to the ground.

"What the hell should I do? Blast it to smithereens? I don't have any skills that can blast it to smithereens without threatening the containment facility. What if destroying the facility causes other facilities to go berserk?" Leng Yihan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He was interested in the SCP series, but he didn't know enough about it. There were many SCPs he didn't know. At the same time, the main quest and side quests finally refreshed.

The main questline has been refreshed.

[The hope of defeating the opponent.]

The side quests have been refreshed.

Destroy the SCP Foundation.
