Chapter 204: Watch My Positioning!
He didn’t expect that Starry would start attacking without any hesitation.
He had already witnessed the power of Ice Moon Slash, and taking it head-on could very well cost him his life.
Blink!
At the same time, the Qiu Yue Sword slashed through the remnants of light, resulting in a miss.
Starry turned around and saw this person’s ID—”Mo Ran Jihua.”
“Phew…” he said, feeling somewhat apprehensive, “Don’t rush to attack! I haven’t finished talking yet!”
“What is there to say?”
Seeing that Starry was finally willing to speak, Mo Ran Jihua quickly smiled and said, “You see, I was here when you first came on stage. Your current winning streak has already reached 4, right?”
“…Yes.”
“Then that’s it! To obtain the title of Little Champion, you need to win five battles, and with 6 minutes left on the countdown, as long as you stall for time and win one more match, it’s all good.”
“What are you trying to express?”
“Well…” he raised an eyebrow, “Beautiful lady, that person just now was a plant you hired, right?”
“…”
“I’m guessing that’s the case! Their acting was just too poor, only these NPCs are silly enough not to see through it.”
How should he say it… It wasn’t the first time Chen Chen had encountered such a situation where he was mocked right in front of him, and he felt somewhat resistant.
However… Starry pointed the Qiu Yue Sword directly at him, clearly displeased!
“Wait!” Mo Ran Jihua jumped in fright; he didn’t have Blink available right now.
“Lady, you misunderstood! I was just offering help!”
“…?”
…

In the final second of the countdown, Mo Ran Jihua was lifted up effortlessly by Starry. Trembling, he looked down at the height from the platform and said, “Lady, gently… Ah—!”
Bang!
-2498
At the moment of landing, his health dropped to 31%; it seemed his total health was close to 4,000.
It felt like players from the Dark Faction had decent gear; is there a day for an evaluation of abilities coming?
Meanwhile, after continuously defeating Qicheng and Mo Ran Jihua, Starry’s experience points increased by another 10%.
There’s no way around it; player experience can’t compare to bosses, not to mention the level gap.
“Ding!”
System Notification: Congratulations! You have consecutively defeated 5 opponents within an hour and earned a special item “Cangshui Card.”
Cangshui Card: Endless Water Prison—A special card created by Youraria for the Little Champion of the Moonshadow Competition, which allows participation in the final fight. It cannot drop, cannot be discarded, and will automatically disappear upon the holder’s death.
Got it!
Even though the last two were actors, the first three enemies were genuinely defeated using her strength… Wait…
Thinking about it carefully, the Enchantress was a strong kill, while the Undead was thrown off the platform, and the Assassin had nowhere to hide when chased down by Fenghua.
Looks like she could only take on Silver Grade monsters one-on-one?
Sigh, a long road ahead.
Starry jumped off the stage.
Qicheng and Fenghua walked directly down another path.
The city had 5 stalls; such tricks couldn’t be repeatedly used in the same place, or it would provoke public outrage.
Even though Starry had already qualified, it would still be better for all three to participate together, so they could support each other at any time.
“Hey, wait for me!” Mo Ran Jihua jogged to catch up.
Speaking of which, his goal was also the Little Champion title, but according to him, he could only take down Silver Grade monsters at most, and only if he had class advantages, like against clumsy big guys.
Clearly, he had no chance alone, so after observing Starry’s battle, he wanted to throw a match first to earn her trust, allowing Starry to help him as well in earning the Little Champion title.
Just right, being unfamiliar in this place, having a player from the Dark Faction as a guide wasn’t a bad idea, thus the score-boosting team gained another member.
“What should I call you, Beaut?”
“Just call me Starry,” she replied.
“Oh, oh, Starry the Beauty.” He glanced around, “Where’s the plant you hired? Ah, they’re missing?”
“Walked off in another direction, just across a street.”
“Really…” he felt much more at ease upon hearing this; if there wasn’t a plant, that would have been a waste of a match.
You see, the blessing of Cangshui would stack the drop rate after each failure, leading to a direct white drop after 10 tries.
“By the way, the first three matches you fought were for real! If I hadn’t seen your ID above your head, I would have thought you were some hidden NPC!”
“Not really…” She had done everything that required underhandedness and exploits equally.
“What do you mean not really! Just taking half health from the Enchantress alone is already impressive, not to mention the last two Gold Grade bosses. To be honest, I was sweating for you while watching; I didn’t expect someone other than those few to achieve that level.”
“…? “Qicheng didn’t quite understand who he was referring to.
“Oh right, you just arrived here, right? Not knowing those people is normal.” Mo Ran Jihua chatted enthusiastically, as if he hadn’t spoken for a long time, nonstop as if firing gunfire.
“The identity shift for Dark Faction is complicated, so there aren’t many players here. There are fewer than 30 people in the entire Moonshadow City. Although the numbers are small, there are some truly formidable characters inside. Hmm… but I feel like you are a bit more powerful.”
“…” She had encountered two powerful ones; she wondered if they were part of those he mentioned.
“Also, the NPCs that have come in these days are ridiculously strong! It was my first time seeing so many…” Mo Ran Jihua tiredly recounted.
“…Could this person be a chatterbox?
…
Hey!

One of the Undead’s spells directly sent Lord Xisi back to the pet space.
As the game progressed slowly, even Silver Grade pets began to decrease in advantage, making it difficult for them to stand alone.
Of course, if this were heard by ordinary players, they would be furious; a goblin was still stronger than them, or could they live?
After Lord Xisi went down, the only front liner disappeared.
Cute Orange lay uncomfortably at the back of the team; just a moment ago, the boss had been hiding behind her, and when she turned her head, she almost died.
“…This is a bit of a problem; I didn’t expect this ♠ boss to deal such high damage.” Brother Shiu looked at the Undead with a headache. “From now on, I’ll take the lead; my defense is high enough so that I won’t be insta-killed.”
“That’s the only option… I’ll do my best to heal.” Jiangxia nodded.
“Me too,” Yuyou said; with the Electric Rabbit, her healing output was about equal to a third of a priest’s capability.
“And I too!” Cute Orange chimed in, as her lively presence was not just for show.
“Alright, I’ll go up first!” He nodded, needing to avoid the first hit; the wind-up for such an obvious attack…
“Watch my positioning!” Brother Shiu’s feet frantically shifted, his form swaying left and right.
Ah!

Unfortunately, he accidentally collided right into the attack’s trajectory.
The blue-purple thick spell crit damage immediately turned him into a white light, taking him down in an instant!
“…” The three girls stared in shock as the target they were supposed to heal vanished unexpectedly.
“What did he just say?” Jiangxia asked, irritated.
“Something like… positioning?” Cute Orange also appeared dazed.
