Chapter 30: The Little Bird's First Battle

At ten o'clock the next morning,

Gu Xuan had just finished breakfast

when he saw in his Three Kingdoms Kill friend list

that Huang Gai player, nicknamed "Grab a Stick and Whack the Old Man," had sent him a huge batch of messages and file materials.

Gu Xuan clicked to open them

and found most were basic knowledge about the Three Kingdoms Kill game space.

But there were also quite a few strange rules,

such as:

"In the Three Kingdoms Kill game space, in 1v1 mode, the winning side can acquire the losing side's generals."

"For players on the Power Ranking, if they are eliminated after exhausting their Golden Beans during a match, the winning side can copy all their generals!"

"Players in the same region will be prioritized for matching into the same match; be sure to hide your real identity."

Lines like these

were rules that had to be learned through suffering losses, even at the cost of human lives,

known clearly only to veteran players.

Moreover, they would definitely keep them secret,

after all,

such important information simply need not be told to anyone who isn't one of their own.

At nine fifty-nine,

the virtual chat window shook,

Gu Xuan scrolled the messages to the very bottom,

where there was a voice message from "Grab a Stick and Whack the Old Man."

He tapped it with his hand,

and a soft female voice with a Jiangnan accent came through:

"Big Shot, are you up?"

"All the files above were organized by me last night; please see if they are useful to you."

"Many of them are traps that new players easily step into!"

"Oh right, Big Shot, I haven't told you my name yet!"

"My name is Wang Lingling; just call me Lingling!"

Hearing the voice, Gu Xuan couldn't help but pause,

for this female voice did not match her name at all.

Hearing the tone in the voice message, which carried a hint of seeking credit,

Gu Xuan smiled knowingly

and typed a reply:

"Thanks, these materials are very useful."

"Also, my surname is Gu."

The reply came almost instantly:

"Okay, Brother Gu!"

"When do we start the ranked match!"

Gu Xuan did not reply further,

but instead entered the two-player ranked mode

and directly invited Wang Lingling to form a team.

After Wang Lingling agreed on her end,

both their visions blurred for a moment; in the blink of an eye, they entered the Three Kingdoms Kill game space.

People in a team can see each other's true appearance.

As soon as Gu Xuan steadied himself,

he saw a dainty figure before him.

The girl had a refined face and long brown hair,

wearing a white inner layer with a black jacket on top, and denim shorts with leg-enhancing stockings on the bottom,

radiating a strong youthful campus vibe from head to toe.

Before Gu Xuan could speak,

the girl in front of him already had starry eyes,

and she restrained herself from taking two small steps forward, calling out in an excited voice:

"Brother Gu, nice to meet you..."

"I didn't expect that you are not only powerful but also so handsome..."

Everyone likes hearing nice words,

so Gu Xuan smiled slightly, offering a bit of politeness;

it was the truth, so there was no need to be modest.

Regarding his own appearance, he had always been very confident.

"Are you ready?"

"If there are no problems, I will start matching."

Seeing Wang Lingling nod,

Gu Xuan immediately connected to the Three Kingdoms Kill space,

A flash of white light swept by; the match was successful.

A single blue screen appeared before the two of them.
