    Looking Forward


    The officialpany livestream was filled with all sorts of spections.


    “Is it reasonable to suspect that Star Rebel took money from someone this time? That’s why he didn’t even participate in thepetition. Usually, he’s the most enthusiastic about such events.”


    “Nonsense, how could Guild Master Star Rebel possibly be that kind of person? I reckon there must be something going on offline, so they couldn’t make it. Let’s wait a while and see.”


    “Don’t you even think about what Star Rebel’s real identity is in reality? He’s definitely a typical rich heir. Of course he wouldn’t spend all his time immersed in games.”


    “These are all just your spections. Nobody knows the exact situation, but 1 think he’s absolutely afraid that others will figure out his true abilities, which is why he didn’t dare toe and participate in thepetition.”


    “I admit that he does have skills, but what if he simply can’tpare to the God Gamer yers from other guilds? All his previous victories against weak opponents were probably because the yers from other guilds didn’t have a level as high as his.”


    Some yers even wanted to directly ask about the whereabouts of North Star and Star Rebel from the Mad Dragon Guild, but everyone in the guild was busy chasing points. How could they have time to pay attention to them?


    Theizens continued to wait like this, and even after the first day ended, they still didn’t get any updates on the Star Rebelpetition.


    Many people believe that Star Rebel probably didn’t want topete with them on the first day, and he may take it seriously until a few dayster.


    Three consecutive days passed, and the battles on the leaderboard had be increasingly intense. Generally, auxiliary yers would not achieve good rankings on this leaderboard, but Wind Flower Snow Moon unexpectedly managed to break into the top 1000, which greatly exceeded everyone’s expectations.


    Liu Feng also invested all his energy into the game, and his skill level was on par with Sun Heng. Both of them sessfully made it into the top 1000. Sun Heng, of course, was aware that Star Rebel did not participate in thispetition, so his mental state was noticeably better than before.


    He nced over and saw that Overlord was only a few points ahead of him in the rankings. He patted Liu Feng’s arm and said with a tone of undeniable authority, “You better make sure to keep your score intact. Don’t let anyone surpass me.”


    Liu Feng sneered in his heart, thinking, “Who do you think you are?” However, he didn’t show it on his face and nodded. “Don’t worry, Guild Master, I will be your strongest support.”


    He had no intention of getting involved with the King’s Guild; this time, he wanted to show everyone the power of Liu Feng.


    These days, the enthusiasm ofizens has gradually diminished quite a bit. One must say, even though they dislike Mad Dragon Guild and Star Rebel, thispetition had definitely lost some of its appeals without him.


    Theizens watching the live broadcast of thepany’s official stream could only keep watching those few God Gamers and their familiar random show-off moves. They had already seen it several times, and now they didn’t want to watch it anymore.


    “Star Rebel, the God Gamer, when will he be online? Without him, this game is only half as fun. I was nning to mock him if he doesn’t perform well this time.”


    “Are you mocking him because you’re jealous? It’s normal for us fans to say such things. Can you haters just go away?”


    “I have all this anger pent up inside me. 1 was hoping to release it by venting when he loses the game, but unfortunately, he doesn’t give us any chance. F*ck.”


    “Maybe it’s because of people like you who spread nonsense online that Guild Master Star Rebel decided not to participate in thepetition.”


    “Doesn’t matter, not my concern. If he wants to participate, he can just go ahead. If he doesn’t, it’s fine. I’m just someone who enjoys having fun. If he joins, I’ll just watch the spectacle, but if he doesn’t, I’ll support other yers then.”


    Althoughizens said otherwise, they still subconsciously searched for Star Rebel’s ID every time they watched a live broadcast. What if Star Rebel started apetition today? It was not impossible.


    The members of the Mad Dragon Guild kept their mouths shut. It was impossible to squeeze any information out of them.


    Zhang Wanshan was well-prepared this time. It would be a disgrace for him, a mage, to join a leader board filled with god gamers, so he focused his thoughts on Star Rebel from the beginning.


    Although hismentary was humorous and attracted a group of fans in a short period, he was not satisfied with the result. His efforts to generate buzz on his own were not as effective as riding on Star Rebel’s poprity.


    And yet, this time, Star Rebel had not officially participated in thepetition. So that he was bing increasingly impatient, as those overseas God Gamers had already discussed everything there was to discuss and there were no new tricks left.


    These God Gamers were now stabilizing their rankings, and the top ten were the same ones that were mentioned before. The scores in the top ten were not stable, as they were allpeting closely. It’s hard to say who would im the first ce.


    These days, Petite Delicate’s live broadcasts were always packed with viewers, for one reason only. As soon as he started the live broadcast, a bunch of yers rushed in to ask if Star Rebel was participating in thepetition today.


    Of course, Petite Delicate wouldn’t tell them the truth. She slowly engaged in conversations with these online friends.


    “You ask me if Guild Master Star Rebel will participate in thepetition today? I have no idea! Only Vice Guild Master North Star knows his schedule, but 1 dare not ask.”


    This was the benefit of being a member of the Dragon Guild. Petite Delicate could leisurely watch the match without even bothering to providementary and still receive a wave of poprity. It was enough to make Zhang Wanshan very envious.


    On the other hand, Han Xing brought Han Yanran to several ces before finally bringing her to Stone Vige.


    “Xing, how did youe up with the idea of bringing me here?” Han Yanran looked around the vige as soon as they entered, like a curious little girl.


    “The air and environment here are much better than the city. I really hope we can retire here in the future,” Han Yanran sighed. But after seeing the strange looks from the surrounding vigers, she quickly grabbed Han Xing’s arm.


    “Don’t worry, I’m here.” Han Xing gently touched her head. When the two of them arrived at Zhou Shengwu’s house in the small courtyard after twists and turns, they found him busy with herbs.


    “Mr. Zhou, I’ve arrived.”


    Han Xing gently knocked on the courtyard door. Zhou Shengwu turned around and saw Han Xing apanied by a beautiful young girl with a delicate and adorable appearance.


    “You, as a young girl, already have weak qi and blood. Why are you dressed so lightly?”


    Han Yanran realized that the elderly man in front of her was speaking to her and quickly imitated her brother’s tone, saying, “Hello, Mr. Zhou, my name is Han Yanran.”


    “I know your situation. Come inside my yard and have a seat. That old blind man went out to tell fortunes for people again and hasn’te back yet.”


    After Zhou Shengwu finished speaking, he went back inside and brought out two cups of herbal tea for them.


    “Thanks to Mr. Zhou and Mr. Mo, my illness has improved this time. I brought Han Xing here for a follow-up examination.”


    Upon hearing Han Xing’s words, Han Yanran obediently sat on the stool and drank another cup of hot tea. Indeed, she felt much more energized.


    Seeing her eyes sparkle with delight and surprise, Zhou Shengwu couldn’t help but feel proud and said, “This herbal tea was personally picked and grown by me. It’s the only one of its kind. If you hade a monthter, there would be none left to drink..”
