As soon as Wei Yanming exited the combat program, he was startled by two pairs of eyes staring intently at him.
“What the heck, what are you two doing, staring at me like that?” Wei Yanming hugged himself in fear, “Although I’m a virgin, I’m straight, no gay stuff!”
“Get lost, you. You’re a virgin, but I have a girlfriend, and she’s super pretty!” a passing student said smugly.
Wei Yanming: ?
“Why did you come to our dorm? To show off your relationship?” Wei Yanming asked indignantly.
“I came for gossip. I heard your roommate say you got beaten by a super big shot. Who is this big shot? Which school are they from? What skills did they use?” The passing student rapidly fired off a string of questions.
“Go away, go away. If you’re curious, go queue up in the combat system’s ranked matches. Maybe you’ll run into her,” Wei Yanming glared at him.
It was bad enough that he was showing off his relationship in front of him, but he also had to dig into his wounds. Did he want him dead?
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to queue with her,” the passing student said smugly, crossing his legs. “I’m already Silver. The one you’re talking about is just Bronze, right?”
“Heh heh, she’s playing placement matches. After her placement matches, she’ll definitely be Silver. You can prepare yourself; you might be matched with her in the combat program soon.”
“No way, you couldn’t even beat someone in placement matches?” The passing student first sized up Wei Yanming, then looked at the roommate next to him: “Someone who’s only just starting placement matches now, and you call them a big shot?”
“You wouldn’t think she’s a sophomore, would you? What if I told you she’s a freshman from First Military Academy?” the roommate said unhurriedly.
The passing student: ???
“A freshman??? Freshmen just started school, right?!”
“Heh heh, what if I also told you she has two skills?” the roommate slowly added.
The passing student: ???????
“What skills did she use on you?” The roommate ignored the speechless passing student and turned to ask Wei Yanming.
“A large-area skill, arrows of light everywhere, raining down on me. I couldn’t even escape the damage range before I was instantly killed,” Wei Yanming said, looking wronged.
“She only used one skill and instantly killed you?”
“...Yes.”
Roommate: ...
Suddenly, the roommate remembered that Wen Xiangjie had a pet and continued to ask, “So, is this skill hers or her pet’s?”
Wei Yanming fell silent.
He lowered his head, very embarrassed, and whispered, “I don’t know. I never saw where she was the whole time. It was just... over...”
Roommate: ...
He patted Wei Yanming’s shoulder comfortingly: “Thinking about how the opponent is a genius on the same level as Song Bing, it’s reasonable.”
The passing student, who had overheard the conversation between the roommate and Wei Yanming, felt even more shocked.
“I’m going to find Yi Tianhua and see if he can queue up with that big shot you’re talking about!” The passing student quickly got up and ran back to his dorm.
Yi Tianhua was his roommate and a somewhat well-known genius at Four Seas University. He had just reached level 20, possessed two skills, and was a battle maniac. When he had nothing to do, he liked to spend time in the combat program playing ranked matches to climb the ranks.
His current rank was Silver VII. After reaching Silver IX, he could start his promotion matches to challenge for the Gold rank.
“Yi Tianhua!” the passing student shouted as soon as he returned to the dorm.
Yi Tianhua, who happened to be waiting for a match, looked up and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I just went to Wei Yanming’s dorm. Wei Yanming lost his promotion match to a freshman big shot!”
He quickly told Yi Tianhua the news he had heard from Wei Yanming’s dorm.
“A genius freshman from First Military Academy? Could it be Wen Xiangjie, the top scorer in the college entrance exam?” Yi Tianhua immediately became excited. “It’s very likely her! Besides her, who else could reach level 20 so quickly!”
“She’s playing placement matches right now, right? With her strength, she’ll definitely be placed in the Silver rank after placement matches. I’m going to stake out and see if I can queue with her!”
After defeating Wei Yanming, Wen Xiangjie continued to start her next placement match.
Given Wen Xiangjie’s current rank, she was basically matched with Bronze-ranked opponents. Wen Xiangjie didn’t even need to make a move; Elf Queen’s single skill was enough to instantly kill the opponent.
In the last two placement matches, Wen Xiangjie was matched with two Silver-ranked players, but these two clearly reached Silver by accumulating a large number of matches. None of them had a win rate exceeding 35%, and they were still instantly killed by Elf Queen’s single skill.
Soon, the ten placement matches were over.
“Congratulations on completing ten placement matches. Your record is ten wins and zero losses. Based on your performance in the placement matches, your initial rank is Silver I.”
The ten placement matches didn’t take Wen Xiangjie much time at all, and the opponents were too weak, so Wen Xiangjie didn’t even make a move throughout.
Since she was idle anyway, Wen Xiangjie continued to play ranked matches.
Although she was already in the Silver rank, Wen Xiangjie, with Elf Queen, still swept through opponents.
Wen Xiangjie’s rank quickly soared from Silver I to Silver III.
Because Wen Xiangjie’s win rate was ridiculously high, according to the matchmaking mechanism, the system soon began to match Wen Xiangjie with higher-ranked opponents.
“Match successful.”
“First Military Academy Freshman VS Four Seas University Sophomore.”
Seeing that the opponent was a freshman from First Military Academy, Yi Tianhua immediately became excited.
“Finally matched!”
“You matched with that freshman big shot from First Military Academy?!” his roommate quickly asked.
Yi Tianhua opened the opponent’s profile.
“First Military Academy Freshman: Silver III, possesses 2 skills, possesses 1 pet, 1V1 combat win rate 100%.”
“It’s her!” Yi Tianhua said definitively.
With such an incredible profile, the opponent must be Wen Xiangjie, the top scorer in this year’s college entrance exam!
Finally able to spar with such a monstrous genius, Yi Tianhua felt his blood boil.
He no longer paid attention to his roommate and fully immersed himself in this battle.
This time, the combat program assigned an empty desert as the battleground, with no obstacles in the arena.
Wen Xiangjie and Yi Tianhua, at opposite ends of the desert, could see each other’s figures clearly across the air wall.
“Four Seas University Sophomore: Silver VII, possesses 2 skills, no pet, 1V1 combat win rate 67%.”
“This time, I’ve met a decent opponent,” Wen Xiangjie said after checking her opponent’s profile.
Elf Queen proudly circled Wen Xiangjie once, emitting a clear and melodious chirp.
“Yes, yes, yes, we are the strongest,” Wen Xiangjie said with a smile to Elf Queen.
“3s, 2s, 1s, battle begins!”
