Their commission was suspicious.

While anything can happen in the Abyss Passage, it's absurd that they could meet without using the Blank Hall as a transit point.

Or perhaps it's fortunate that Liu Wenxuan didn't come looking for them; otherwise, once they entered the arena, it would be impossible to explain how Liu Wenxuan found Chen Luo and the others.

"Because we couldn't find you, and you hadn't returned to the Blank Hall, plus we ran into the guides while wandering through the Void Gate Market, we were invited to be their helpers in exploring the secret realm together," Liu Wenxuan said.

While Chen Luo and his group were exchanging ideas, another group was also exchanging ideas.

However, the other side was discussing tactical issues.

"They took it first, which means the remaining two artifacts are unusable," Xu Xuan said with a headache.

Xu Yuan originally possessed three divine artifacts: Winner Takes All, Polar Reversal, and First Step.

This is a set of magical artifacts that can be combined. The most essential element is naturally the winner takes all, but the most crucial element is to take the lead.

At least when facing Chen Luo and his group, the most crucial thing is to take the lead.

Without taking the first step, I wouldn't have dared to use the first two artifacts.

"It doesn't matter. The rewards for both sides aren't very good anyway. It's unwise to sacrifice one chance to use a divine artifact for these non-divine items." Xu Yuan shook his head.

Xu Yuan and his group had a random scenario and random items this time, but looking at the item floating in the air, it was clear that the reward for this secret realm was not a divine artifact.

In the Abyss Passage, level-free items are white, low-level equipment is blue, mid-level equipment is purple, high-level equipment is gold, and red is the exclusive color of artifacts.

The items on both sides of Chen Luo's team are now gold, indicating that they are high-level equipment or items. The winner-takes-all artifact has a limited number of uses, and can only be used 4 times.

Even a quarter of a divine artifact is more valuable than a high-level item.

Besides, Xu Yuan is just working to pay off his debts right now; what he gains doesn't actually belong to him...

300 yuan a month? What are you doing risking your life? A working person should act like a working person.

"However, the Polar Reversal can still be used. We can decide whether to have a group battle or an individual battle later depending on the situation. If the opponent uses a forbidden artifact, we might still get the priority to choose even if we use Polar Reversal. But let's make it clear first, if we use Polar Reversal, we'll have to sacrifice one piece of high-level equipment," Xu Yuan said.

Regardless of whether Xu Yuan became Chen Luo's puppet or not, it's still necessary to state this basic fact and clarify one's stance.

"What do you think? Bai..."

"Call me Bai Qiqi." The larger white fox interrupted Xu Yuan before he could call her by her name.

"Huh?" Gen Urobuchi was taken aback.

What does "白七七" mean?

“A code name. Or rather, an alias. This is no longer my clan's territory, and I don't really like my original name. Of course, don't call me princess either. It's too old-fashioned,” Bai Qiqi said.

"What a crappy code name!" Although Xu Yuan really wanted to say that, he kept quiet because he was now working for the other party.

The thought that his part-time job would last for quite some time made Xu Yuan mutter to himself about Chen Luo.

That's outrageous! 50 pieces of high-level equipment!

Even if he and his four teammates sold everything they owned, they still couldn't afford it, so they had no choice but to ask a passing cultivator from the Abyss Dimension for help.

"Ah, sister, if we're going to use an alias, what will I be called?" The smaller figure, who also had white fox ears, looked up and asked, puzzled.

"Since you are the ninth child, let's call you Jiu Jiu."

"It's possible... Sister, you chose the name Bai Qiqi a long time ago, but why do I need a nickname too?" Jiu Jiu was puzzled.

“Although I don’t understand why such a code name is used, it is quite common to use code names. After all, some items in the Abyss Passage can influence others through their real names,” Xu Yuan said.

"Oh, I see." Jiu Jiu suddenly realized.

After glancing at the opposing team, Bai Qiqi looked away with a complicated expression and lightly flicked Jiu Jiu's forehead with her finger.

"Alright, just don't reveal your real name. As for the battle plan... Xiaoying, use the artifact—the entertainment universal card." Bai Qiqi turned to a figure dressed as an assassin in night clothes in the five-person team and said.

"Yes, Miss." Xiaoying nodded.

"So you're using a divine artifact already?" Xu Yuan was taken aback.

This time, the Abyss Squad is still a 5-person team, or rather, the vast majority of Abyss Squads are 5-person teams. This is the most basic lineup in the Abyss dimension.

This five-person team, besides Xu Yuan and Xu Xuan, also includes the assassin called Xiao Ying, Bai Qiqi, and Bai Jiujiu.

"If you're not going to use a divine artifact now, when will you? Or do you think you can defeat your opponent through proper combat?" Bai Qiqi asked after glancing at Xu Yuan.

"Whether it's a team battle or a one-on-one battle, are you confident of winning?"

“This…” Xu Yuan and his sister exchanged a glance, then hesitated to speak.

"In team battles, the opponent has a miracle-wielding wielder who can fully revive an opponent. In one-on-one battles, you can't even beat their miracle-wielding wielder," Bai Qiqi said coldly, arms crossed.

"You talk as if you can beat him," Xu Yuan said defiantly.

"I can't beat him, and I don't know how. If it were me, I wouldn't have chosen him as my opponent in the first place," Bai Qiqi said calmly.

"I don't believe it. When engaging in team fights, who doesn't target the support first?"

"Nobody's asking you to believe. Anyway, since we can't win in a fight, let's settle it with a game of entertainment," Bai Qiqi said.

Meanwhile, the assassin in black also found the artifact called the "Universal Entertainment Card".

[The Abyss Squad has used a powerful artifact—the Amazing Universal Card for Entertainment. The format is being changed… Format change complete. The format for this match is now—Don't Get Angry Challenge.]

[Don't Get Angry Challenge: Each side selects several members, who then engage in one-on-one taunting, insulting, and other acts to anger their opponent. The winner is the one who makes the opponent angry. The competition proceeds in turn. The last remaining participant wins.]

The specific rules are as follows: ...

"We've got this in the bag!" Bai Qiqi instantly felt confident of victory.

Are you kidding me? You'd get angry if you played this game yourself?

I'm sure I'll finish this game with a smile.

Although it's unclear why this strange battle type appears in the options for recreational wild cards, it's not a big deal.

Meanwhile, Chen Luo and his group were also taken aback when they heard about this other challenge.

Chen Luo subconsciously searched for the effects of this recreational universal card in the Book of Akasha.

If you ask a question and ask the Book of Akasha to answer it, it might take a long time, but if you search for a term, it will be much faster, and you probably won't need to roll the dice.

[Universal Card for Entertainment]: Can change the current battle-type dungeon to a more entertaining one. Friendship first, competition second.

To be honest, Chen Luo really didn't see anything entertaining about this "don't get angry" challenge.

It sounds like they're going to start hurling insults at each other.

“The other team has five players, and we can only field a maximum of five. Who wants to go? I’m absolutely confident we can win this match; you can just be there as accessories,” Chen Luo asked the others.

"So confident?"

"Don't worry, as an all-powerful traveler, I still have the skill of taunting." Chen Luo patted his chest.

“I will. The great Herrscher of Consciousness can modify his/her consciousness so that he/she will not get angry.” The Herrscher of Consciousness immediately raised his/her hand.

The one who knew the law didn't remember anything else, but he did remember one thing: the winner of the arena could obtain a title.

In other words, Chen Luo can display the title "Miracle Performer" above his head at any time. Although this title doesn't provide any benefits, it's cool.

Normally, titles appear above the heads of the winning team members after the arena's match type is determined. However, this time, the match type was not determined before the opponent used a special artifact, so the title did not appear in time.

The winning member in the arena can choose to retain their title.

If the team loses, the temporary title of the team with the advantage disappears, and the title of the team that had the advantage but lost is given to the actual winning team.

Such a title, which does not belong to oneself, is called a captured title.

This title is extremely ironic for the party whose territory was captured.

If neither of the above two situations occurs, there is another way to obtain a title: if a member performs exceptionally well in this battle (MVP), they may also be awarded an additional title.

That's what the Law of Knowledge is aiming for.

"You don't read the rules at all. It says that you can only use your abilities when you're on offense, but you can't use any special abilities to stop yourself from getting angry when you're on defense." Chen Luo tapped the Herrscher of Knowledge on the head.

"Then, I can also use the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge to make the other party angry," the Herrscher of Knowledge said defiantly.

"Do you think you can handle it? Aren't you sure you won't be easily swayed by a single comment from someone?" Chen Luo asked.

"Are you kidding me? How could I be that fragile?" The Herald of Knowledge categorically denied Chen Luo's slander.

"You've been a victim of telecom fraud."

"you!"

"You're angry," Chen Luo said, pressing down on the Herrscher of Knowledge's head.

"..." The Law Master was somewhat dejected.

Then, quite sensibly, he went to the audience seats.

"That's not right, the other party doesn't know Xiao Shi's true identity..." Yun Xia quickly realized.

“Yes, that’s why I said Xiaoshi was scammed, but I didn’t say who scammed her,” Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

"..." Even Yun Lian'er, who was usually quite calm and quiet, couldn't help but glance at her.

I asked you to talk about scams, and you actually believed it?

That's a bit outrageous.

"Be careful, Xiaoshi might get angry later, and you won't be able to coax him back."

After the Herrscher of Knowledge was sitting in the audience and couldn't get down, she heard the guide's comforting words and finally came to her senses.

Wait a minute, if the guide doesn't recognize himself as the Lawgiver of Knowledge, how could the person opposite him possibly recognize him?

The Herrscher of Knowledge, having realized what was happening, began angrily smashing the protective shield.

“Xiao Shi, I asked you to go down because I didn’t want you to get really angry or develop murderous intent towards me if we were to face off. My skill is uncontrollable.” Chen Luo said sincerely to the Herrscher of Knowledge as he walked to the edge of the audience seats.

"Huh? Oh. You should have said so earlier." Seeing Chen Luo say such "ambiguous" (questionable) words in public, Shi Zhi Lü Zhe felt embarrassed.

"All appeased, all done," Chen Luo said after returning to the field.

"...That was too easy, wasn't it?" Yun Xia was astonished.

“So someone as emotional as Xiaoshi is really not suitable for this ‘Don’t Get Angry’ challenge,” Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

The opposing team only had a maximum of 5 people, so all of them participated. After intense discussion, Chen Luo's team also decided on their participants.

Chen Luo, Yun Lian'er, Yun Xia, Liu Huaixi, Abi...

A rather magical lineup.

Yun Lian'er appears because she can be quite cunning and sharp-tongued at times, and she also possesses forbidden illusion spells.

Yunxia appears because she is easygoing, not easily angered, and has the "Illusion" card.

Liu Huaixi appeared because Liu Huaixin's talent allows her to see the opponent's notes. Perhaps during this competition, she can uncover the opponent's dirty secrets and expose them to anger them.

Albi played because he wanted to play. There was also a young child on the opposing team.

It's that simple of a reason.

"Hello, my name is Bai Qiqi, the captain of the Silver Moon Squad. Have a great time."

When the two teams stood together, it was supposed to be the time for them to trash talk each other, but the opposing team's captain was unusually friendly.

Seeing Bai Qiqi being so friendly, not only the Spirit Qi Squad, but even the Abyss Squad's atmosphere became somewhat subtle.

Your attitude doesn't sound like you're about to fight, it sounds more like you're about to kiss...

"Uh, um... Hello, you can just call me Doctor, or you can call me Miracle Performer. Have a good time." Chen Luo's voice was a little stuttering.

Both sides were at the very top of the circular arena, too far apart for Chen Luo to extend his line of sight.

But when he stood on the other side and saw the nickname above the white-haired, fox-eared girl's head, Chen Luo was dumbfounded. Then he subconsciously glanced at the little fox in the audience.

Is today some kind of fox festival? Why would someone be cursed by a fox?

Have they agreed to form a group to repay a debt of gratitude?

Huh? Wait, repaying a debt of gratitude?

[100% guaranteed to be repaid by a fox]?

Chapter 1103 Chen Luo: Ah, right, right, right!

However, the "Don't Get Angry" challenge still needs to be carried out.

After all, so many people are watching.
