Chapter 8

These three matches are naturally nothing to worry about,

just find some time at the start of the month and they can be wrapped up easily.

But for some new players, or noobs,

that's a matter of life and death!

The newbie tutorial the game space gives, along with three thousand starter gold beans, is barely enough for a player to get familiar with the game.

Once they're familiarized, the gold beans are basically all gone!

Lose again and they'll be erased by the game space,

and for the sake of their own lives, new players naturally want to keep pushing their match times back further and further,

until they finally drag it to the end of the month,

and when they really can't stall any longer, they'll be forcibly matched into a game by the Three Kingdoms Kill game space!

So,

at the end of every month, it's generally when the noobs and newbie players are most numerous!

It's also the easiest time to win beans!

And Zhang Danian,

had his eye on exactly this kind of opportunity,

specifically matching at the end of the month to stomp newbies and noobs,

and snatch their beans!

And while he was at it, he'd stream live to draw in some popularity!

………

Of course, doing this meant there would inevitably be some people in his stream who couldn't stand it,

"As someone with a name on the Power Rankings, bullying newbies like this—Zhang Danian, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"Yeah! The other big shots on the Power Rankings wouldn't stoop to this kind of thing!"

"Zhang Danian! It's fine for you to lose your gold beans, but when newbies lose, they lose their lives!"

……

Seeing the barrage mixed with some curses aimed at him,

Zhang Danian just shrugged and pretended he hadn't seen it,

"Tch."

"The Three Kingdoms Kill game space has descended, and with gold beans you have everything."

"Stomping newbies earns beans—low risk, decent returns."

"Why would I bother fighting those big shots at other times?"

As for those newbies and noobs losing their lives?

If they lose them, they lose them,

he, Zhang Danian, wouldn't miss a chunk of flesh for it—on the contrary, he'd still come out ahead!

The barrage defending the newbies was only a small minority,

and Zhang Danian couldn't care less about those people's comments,

after all, ninety-nine percent of his fans just wanted to watch him stomp noobs!

The harder he stomped, the more his fans loved it,

and when the fans loved it, the popularity naturally rose.

With higher popularity, the gold beans just kept flowing in!

He casually blocked a few of the harshest cursers,

and then,

Zhang Danian grinned at the screen and gave an OK gesture,

"Today, the first newbie-stomping match—begin!"

With that, he directly contacted the Three Kingdoms Kill game space,

and started matching!

【Player Sun Quan Wudi has chosen to enter matchmaking!】

【Please player select a competitive mode!】

"Five-player Military Contest!"

The Three Kingdoms Kill game space has multiple competitive modes.

But Zhang Danian still liked the five-player mode best.

【Player is matching!】

【Match successful! Wishing the player a pleasant game!】

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by a flash of blue light.

When Zhang Danian appeared again, he was already inside the Three Kingdoms Kill game space's arena.

The Three Kingdoms Kill five-player Military Contest arena,

was a big round table, with five chairs set around it.

Zhang Danian sat in seat number one,

clearly, he was the Lord, with priority in choosing his general!

"Whoosh!"

The moment Zhang Danian sat down in the number-one Lord position, he felt confident in his heart.

Then he looked at the virtual screen suspended in the air before him,

There were a total of five general cards waiting to be chosen.

"Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Xiao Qiao."

"Do I even need to think about this?"

Zhang Danian was even more delighted, and directly chose Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was the general with the highest overall combat power ranking among the existing generals!

Already powerful to begin with, and now in the number-one position, with the Lord identity.

Not only does he play first, he also gets an extra health point!

Sun Quan with five health points and the Regulation skill.

At this point, how could he possibly lose?!

………

Inside the livestream room, a crowd of players saw this scene,

And one after another began spamming "666"

"At this point, it'd be hard not to win!"

"Danian got Sun Quan in the Lord position, that's a huge advantage at the start!"

"I can't imagine, in this situation, what general playing as Rebel or Renegade could make Danian lose!"

"Unless those experts on Binhai City's combat power rankings team up, maybe then!"

"Don't even think about it, upstairs — it's the end of the month today, matching is eighty percent likely to be newbies and noobs, where would big-shots come from?"

"Haha, water friends, type 'stomp noobs' on the public screen!!!"

………

During the game, Zhang Danian couldn't see the livestream barrage,

But that didn't affect anything,

He first glanced at the player information. To see if there were any familiar faces.

After all, the same general, in different players' hands,

Could display abilities that were worlds apart!

But Zhang Danian wasn't too worried either,

Based on his experience, those matched into the game now,

Were most likely new players, or noobs.

After scanning the situation on the field,
