NOVEL NEXT Wushan suddenly has a bad feeling about it.
However, before he figures out where it comes from, he stiffens since he has stepped on something.
Round and slippery.
The next moment, with everyone watching, the bladesman who is about to shoot for the sky twists weirdly.
Then he presses forward as if he has slipped, avoiding the swordsman ahead of him perfectly and plunges towards the left, where the Sky River Rift lies, beyond which is a bottomless chasm.
Wushan falls. There isn’t even a sound of him hit the ground for a good while.
The whole rift is so quiet that one can hear a needle drop.
Nobody could have thought this widely-anticipated duel would end up so dramatically.
Ji Yunting comes out of his temporary trance first. Blinking, he exclaims calmly: “What did I say? Don’t speak in absolute terms, leaving no room for compromise since those who talked as you do had their face slapped in the end.”
In midair, a golden light flashes by. The game declares Wushan dead and A Sword from the West wins. All four items at stake belong to the winner.
“I don’t accept this!” Yunyu suddenly shouts.
Right now, she is overcome with regret. If she had known how unreliable Wushan was, she wouldn’t have given him the Cold Star Siderite.
Yunyu says out loud: “There wasn’t a fight so it wasn’t a duel at all! It’s not fair to declare Wushan the loser directly.”
At the moment, Wushan send something through the chat channel:
Wushan: I’m not convinced!
Wushan: I want another duel!
Wushan: Besides, I suspect A Sword from the West uses cheat engine!
At this point, Wushan is still in resurrection camp. Worried as he is, he sends out a message through the chat channel.
The more he thinks about what happened, the weirder it gets.
A Sword from the West acted as if he knew he would win.
Where did that confidence come from?
Wushan didn’t realize until he stepped on something and fell off the cliff that A Sword from the West knew something was going to happen.
How could he know?
He must have used a cheat engine and played a dirty trick!
As he sends out the message, Wushan’s resurrection cooldown ends. He hastily rips open a teleport scroll and gets himself to Sky River Rift immediately.
Pointing at A Sword from the West, he says: “You must have used a cheat engine and tricked me!”
Ji Yunting is all indifferent: “I haven’t.”
Wushan’s anger flashes. He is about to draw out his blade and attack him when he finds a player who has just had a duel can’t fight so he has no choice but to point at him with his blade resentfully:
“I’m going to report you!”
Midland calls itself a game without cheat engines so the gaming company has always detested cheat engines.
Every player has a report button on his or her virtual panel.
Wushan presses it without demur.
The next moment, a golden light flashes. A figure in black cloak appears in midair.
“I’m Aloof Branch, QA 001 of Midland. Who has reported a cheat engine?” A deep machinery tone rises.
With ordered short grey hair, QA 001 looks at the crowd with his cold grey eyes without any expressions.
Wushan steps forward: “It’s me.”
He points at Ji Yunting: “A Sword from the West has used a cheat engine!”
QA 001 turns to him, then to Ji Yunting.
Numerous codes flashes across his grey eyes. A few seconds later, he shakes his head: “Everything is normal with Player: A Sword from the West. He hasn’t used a cheat engine.”
