Time passed by, and it reached 6 o’clock, the time of Tian Hu’s proposal. The Colosseum—the agreed place—was packed full of people. There were originally many people, but after rumors spread about Hyeonu and Tian Hu, more people gathered to watch them.
“Isn’t it the time for the appointment?”
“It is 6 o’clock, but I don’t see Alley Leader.”
“Idiot, that was Tian Hu’s one-sided suggestion. Alley Leader didn’t show his intentions. It is unknown if he will appear or not.”
“Yes, but I still hope for him to appear.”
“Why?”
“Isn’t it interesting?”
“Yes, it is.”
Just like the Black Skull Guild, ordinary players considered the duel between Alley Leader and Tian Hu as a game. It was like watching a football game. They felt a surrogate feeling of satisfaction from watching others fight.
“However, haven’t the market prices gone down recently?”
“Is this sword rare rated? I bought it for 20,000, and now it is 15,000? The price has gone down,” a warrior player said while showing his sword.
It was true. Once Hyeonu deleted the characters of the high-level Aisis Guild members, Tian Hu no longer had the ability to manipulate the situation. Hyeonu sold all the items he had. As a result, the prices for level-130 rare rated items plummeted. The distorted price line collapsed. Under this influence, the prices of all items started to go down.
There was only one section that climbed. It was the lowest level section. The prices for items below level 30 skyrocketed. Supply was due to items being dropped by deleted characters and demand was due to those seeking items to raise their characters again.
“Based on this, it seems like Aisis really was doing the manipulation?”
“It isn’t ‘seems’. They really were doing it. Clap.”
The players gathered in the Colosseum were talking about various things when a man in a mask, Alley Leader appeared in the distance. “Hello everyone! I am Alley Leader!”
“It is Alley Leader!!”
“He showed up!”
The Colosseum filled with shouts at Hyeonu’s appearance. They hadn’t known if Alley Leader would appear, but he did. A character deletion bet between a workshop and an individual, Aisis VS Alley Leader, would take place. If so, it was worthwhile to come here.
“I came here to do a character deletion bet with Tian Hu!”
“Wow!!!”
“Wow!!!”
“However, you might not be able to see it well because too many people are gathered. I hope you watch my live stream!”
“Ohh! Don’t advertise!”
“Ads OUT!”
Hyeonu used the interlude to advertise his streams, and the people booed him. However, the number of people soon decreased like Hyeonu’s advertis.e.m.e.nt was effective. All the people, who thought they would watch Hyeonu’s broadcast since they couldn’t see, logged out. Hyeonu walked toward Tian Hu with slow, laid-back steps. “Well, I won’t greet you. It is strange to say hello.”
Tian Hu didn’t respond to Hyeonu’s words.
Hyeonu didn’t care and continued speaking, “Can I set the rules? I want to do a level-one duel. I don’t care if it is a captain battle or team battle.”
He took a breath before stating his final words, “Do you want to accept?”
Tian Hu’s firmly closed mouth finally opened, “I...”
***
“I accept.”
‘I don’t know what you’re thinking, but the level-one rule is a mistake. Will you win with pure skill? Bah, not a chance.’
Tian Hu accepted Hyeonu’s offer. He didn’t know what Hyeonu was thinking. He just accepted with the idea that this offer would benefit him. The level-one duel was to fight with level-one stats. Thus, the effect of items wouldn’t be acquired. Of course, they could wear items, but the options wouldn’t be applied. Only passive skills applied. In short, level-one duels allowed people to see the control of the players.
Hyeonu wondered out loud, “Then do you want a captain battle or do you want a team battle? You decide.”
Tian Hu was troubled by the continuation of Hyeonu’s proposal.
‘Captain battle? Or a team battle? What should I do?’
For practical reasons, it had to be a team battle. Even so, it was a level-one duel. This way, it wouldn’t seem like he won even if he did win.
‘A captain battle can also have variables. There are many in a team battle... Yes. This time, I need to choose for practical interests.’
Tian Hu thought for a long time before declaring, “A team battle.”
‘Yes, he has to do a team battle. He is that type of person,’ Hyeonu wasn’t surprised by the expected result. The fact that Tian Hu initially contemplated it wasn’t part of Hyeonu’s calculations. He had expected Tian Hu to shout a team battle immediately.
“Then let’s get started without dragging it out. Let’s duel.”
[Player ‘Gang Hyeonu’ has applied for a duel.]
The moment Hyeonu’s words ended, a message window appeared in front of Tian Hu.
[Would you like to accept?]
“I accept,” Tian Hu shouted without hesitation.
[Yes.]
He just wanted to delete Hyeonu’s character as soon as possible.
[Player ‘Gang Hyeonu’ has set the rules.]
After listening to Tian Hu, Hyeonu immediately set the rules. There were four rules. It was one more rule than he usually set.
[The rules set are ‘winner-takes-all’, ‘delete character’, ‘level one’, and ‘team battle’.]
[Would you like to accept?]
“I accept.”
[Yes.]
It was carried out in rapid succession. Both Hyeonu and Tian Hu were unstoppable.
[Please determine who will participate in the duel.]
“I alone.”
“Six people.”
The former voice was Hyeonu, and the latter voice was Tian Hu. Tian Hu thought, ‘This makes Liu Shei’s absence even more regrettable.’
