Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo began today's competition with an extremely absurd feeling.

The "Don't Get Angry" challenge is randomly matched.

Because an MVP title needs to be awarded, internal challenges can continue even after the opposing team has lost all their matches, and internal challenges can be conceded directly.

So Xiaoshi, who didn't read the rules, got fooled again.

However, Chen Luo did not intentionally prevent Xiao Shi from participating in the competition. It was mainly because his talent reminded him that the Herrscher of Knowledge was unlucky today and was not suitable to participate in the competition.

As for why?

It depends on whether the answer is tactful or unforgiving.

A more tactful response would be that those who understand the rules are experiencing misfortune and should not participate today.

To answer without saving face would mean that the Herald of Knowledge is still a child. In terms of enduring anger, she is not even as good as Abby, at least Abby cannot understand those strange words.

Due to the game's mechanics, you will always be matched against the opposing team in the first match. Only after all the opponents have been defeated will internal matches be scheduled.

Yun Xia faced off against Bai Qiqi, Yun Lian'er against Xu Yuan, Liu Huaixi against Xu Xuan, Abi against Bai Jiujiu, and Chen Luo against the person dressed as an assassin.

Looking at the white fox girl in front of her, who had regained her aloof demeanor, Yun Xia felt for a moment that the scene she had just witnessed, where the girl greeted Chen Luo warmly, was an illusion.

Hmm, perhaps that's the difference between being polite and being in the game?

"Hello." Yun Xia greeted him in a very friendly and cordial manner from the start, but a card suddenly appeared in her hand behind her back.

【Illusion】card

Symbol: The desire to escape from reality.

Effect: Possesses the magic to make the opponent think of what they long for and create illusions.

"Hello," Bai Qiqi said calmly.

While Bai Qiqi appeared to be chatting with Yun Xia, a phantom tail suddenly appeared behind her and disappeared in a flash.

Enchantment vs. Mystery

On the other side, Yun Lian'er showed no mercy after facing Xu Yuan. With a wave of her hand, a phantom magic book appeared out of thin air in front of her. Yun Lian'er tore off a forbidden spell from the book and then gently tossed it toward Xu Yuan.

Forbidden spell of the mental type.

The foundation for victory has been laid.

The former may still see wins and losses, but there is absolutely no pressure on this side.

Compared to the epic battle on the other side, Liu Huaixi's method was very simple and unpretentious.

“Your brother was beaten by a priest,” Liu Huaixi said directly, looking at the notification that appeared above Xu Xuan’s head.

"So what? It's just that the priest cheated too much. My brother didn't lose unjustly."

"Your brother had his hair pulled by a pastor."

"You...you can't stop talking about this. I've already said that my brother didn't lose unjustly."

"Your brother had his heart ripped out by a pastor, and he almost had a rocket shot into his mouth."

"That's enough! You've been slandering my brother the whole time, and you haven't stopped! I've already said, he didn't lose unjustly!"

"You lost," Liu Huaixi said softly after shrinking back.

"!!!" Seeing the red light in the sky indicating a negative result, Xu Xuan almost fainted from anger.

Despite being the first to win, Liu Huaixi felt no joy whatsoever.

After all, the person on the other side looked quite fierce.

Compared to the infighting and backstabbing on the other side, Abby and Bai Jiujiu's side seemed much more harmonious and friendly.

The two children were racking their brains trying to think of something offensive to say, but their upbringing wouldn't allow them to say anything too outrageous.

"Would you like some candy?" Abby hesitated for a moment before taking out a lollipop.

"May I?"

"of course."

In the arena, exchanging items between the two sides is not prohibited. After all, this is a challenge where you don't get angry. Giving something to the other party and then asking for it back might make them angry. Any measure that can make someone angry is allowed, as well as measures that don't seem to make anyone angry on the surface.

The Wallfacer: Eating, drinking, and having fun? No, it's part of the plan!

While others were making some progress, the relationship between Chen Luo and the shadow assassin was quite peaceful.

No, it can't be said to be peaceful; rather, it means that the two of them did nothing.

Finally, the Shadow Assassin spoke...

"You're shameless, you're the most shameless person I've ever met..." The Shadow Assassin stammered at this point.

"..." Chen Luo covered his face.

It's clear that this girl, who is positioned as an assassin in the team, probably hasn't received any training in swearing.

[Forcing a usually taciturn assassin girl who is only interested in cultivation to swear is quite difficult. Although words can be a sharp sword, a proper assassin probably wouldn't also be a master of language.]

The assessment of his talent was spot on.

She now regrets not learning more swear words from her neighbors when she was training with her master and living deep in the lower city, instead of practicing assassination techniques.

After glancing at the assassin girl who was weak and powerless but at least managed to swear, Chen Luo chose to remain in a daze.

"The Book of Akasha, is it here? Do you know why the Abyss Passage tricked me?" Chen Luo asked.

[1 to 320 hours, query?]

"So... what's the deal with the captain of that Abyss Squad on the other side?"

[1 to 32 hours, query?]

Chen Luo chose to keep quiet.

Compared to queries that involve searching for keywords, questions like these, which don't have a fixed answer and require a response from the other party, definitely take more time.

But Chen Luo doesn't have time right now. If the query time is only within 10 minutes, then Chen Luo can accept it.

However, the maximum time limit for each round of the "Don't Get Angry" challenge is 10 minutes. If no winner is determined after 10 minutes, all participants are eliminated.

If the elimination group becomes the final group, the winner will be determined by judging the output of both sides.

Chen Luo looked at the assassin girl in front of him, who was gradually getting into the swing of things, perhaps recalling something. When she said, "Without the support of medical ethics, no matter how strong your healing ability is, you can only live a relatively unsuccessful life!" he said four words.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

Upon hearing these four words, the assassin girl paused for a moment, then grabbed her dagger and charged towards Chen Luo.

I will kill you!

【Ah yes, yes, yes】: Taunt skill

Effect: Provocation.

When you say "Ah, yes, yes, yes," the other person will be instantly enraged and will relentlessly pursue you until their anger subsides.

Blinded by rage, the assassin girl charged towards Chen Luo even after being declared the loser, intending to deliver a fatal blow.

Seeing the terrifyingly effective taunt skill, Chen Luo casually summoned Kyubey from his shadow and threw it directly at the assassin girl.

【friend】

Becoming Chen Luo's friend has always been a high-risk profession.

They're either turned into useless people or treated as expendable resources.

Just like Kyubey, who is currently being frantically stabbed by the assassin girl with her dagger.

It's worth noting that the taunt skill "Ah yes yes yes" is specifically marked as being able to be deflected using the "Friend" ability.

Although Qubi has no feelings and therefore doesn't consider anyone a friend, Chen Luo felt an instant connection with him.

Poor little Kyubey was stabbed into a bloody pulp by the assassin girl before the assassin girl's anger was finally appeased.

Meanwhile, Qiu Bi, who had been resurrected from Chen Luo's shadow, glanced regretfully at his former body, which had been chopped into mincemeat.

What a waste!

Because the assassin girl stabbed Kyubey for too long, the outcome of the rest of the matches was already decided once Kyubey became Kyubey-chan.

Bai Qiqi vs. Yun Xia, Bai Qiqi wins.

Yun Lian'er vs. Xu Yuan, Yun Lian'er wins.

Liu Huaixi vs. Xu Xuan, Liu Huaixi wins.

Bai Jiujiu vs. Abi, Bai Jiujiu wins.

Chen Luo vs. Assassin Shadow, Chen Luo wins.

The most noteworthy match was between two children.

Although the two of them came to the field to compete, they became half friends by exchanging snacks. However, children's friendships can be very fragile at times.

The two started by comparing how much snacks they had, and then gradually came to the conclusion that their older siblings were the best to them. They then launched into a long argument about this disagreement.

Finally, Bai Jiujiu said: I am my sister's sister, and I always have been.

This infuriated Abby!

The keyhole on Abby's forehead, which she could previously control to remain hidden, was now fully visible, emanating an eerie aura, and Abby's entire demeanor had changed...

Abi's unusual behavior startled Bai Jiujiu.

Honestly, if it weren't for the "Don't Get Angry" challenge where players can't hurt each other (Kooby isn't considered a person, it's just a pet, like throwing cockroaches at people. That's part of the plan!), Bai Jiujiu's words alone might have wiped out her entire team.

The aura emanating from that keyhole was so chilling that even Chen Luo felt a bit cold.

I'm not afraid...

Even after Abby was eliminated and returned to the audience, she was still fuming.

In the next round, since there are 5 players left, some players will receive a bye.

Chen Luo became that lucky one.

But Chen Luo didn't feel happy at all, because he always felt that the abyss passage was holding back a big surprise.

The outcome of the next match was also a foregone conclusion.

Although Yun Lian'er's copied forbidden spell was very powerful, she only had that one mental forbidden spell. While she could use magic on the spot without any problems, how could a magician use magic as quickly as a fox using charm?

It's unclear what Bai Qiqi showed Yun Lian'er in the illusion, or if the illusion was created automatically without Bai Qiqi's knowledge of what would happen...

In short, Yun Lian'er looked quite angry, because she didn't even use any forbidden spells and rushed towards Bai Qiqi with a book in her hand.

As for the match between Liu Huaixi and Bai Jiujiu...

Liu Huaixi lost.

Yes, Liu Huaixi lost to a child.

Although Liu Huaixi looked innocent when she returned to the audience, the fact that she lost to a child was undeniable.

The reason is quite simple.

Although Bai Jiujiu looks like a child, seemingly naive and inexperienced, the other party is a two-tailed fox demon.

When Bai Jiujiu was fighting Abby, she tried to charm her, but she found that Abby's spirit was exceptionally strong. No matter how much force Bai Jiujiu used, she could not twist Abby's spirit.

When competing against Liu Huaixi, that filthy adult, Bai Jiujiu didn't need to hold back at all.

Moreover, Liu Huaixi does indeed have a significant flaw: the mere mention of her mother can trigger intense emotions in her.

There are now three people left on the field: Chen Luo, Bai Qiqi, and Bai Jiujiu.

In the third round, Bai Qiqi received a bye.

Bai Qiqi could only watch helplessly as Chen Luo bullied her younger sister.

"Little sister, why don't you just admit defeat? I don't want to bully a child." Chen Luo squatted down and looked at Bai Jiujiu standing in front of him.

"No! And who's the child? I'm older than you!"

"...Then tell me quietly, how old is your sister, Bai Qiqi?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

Although Chen Luo could easily find out Bai Qiqi's age, or even what she ate last night and what she washed first in the bath, lying to a child always gives him a special sense of accomplishment.

"My sister is this year..." Bai Jiujiu was about to speak when she heard a murderous glare from the side.
