Chapter 207: Doubt

Rest day?

Cheng Shuili instantly became alert.

Based on her usual understanding of the system, this thing would never be so kind. Aren't they on a year‑long noon break like 007, and now they suddenly announce a day off for the month…

Heh. Trap.

Definitely a trap.

It's not only Cheng Shuili who thinks so; who among the living is a clueless sweetie? Of course, Liang Shanbo is an exception.

"Rest day? Heh, that's pretty creepy."

"Looking forward? I look forward to the day you get destroyed! I'm really impressed."

"Don't be so hostile! Let's discuss reasonably—what's a rest day for? There's no mileage, no Instance, and we have to drive ourselves, open boxes, and look for food? That's actually pretty pitiful."

"Why is this damn system like this again? It just mentions a name and then stops?!!"

Yeah!

Why does it just bring up a name again?

Cheng Shuili furrowed her brows tightly, yet she had to listen to what the system was saying.

【Back to the main topic, everyone, your performance this time was quite good, but there's no extra reward. Among all players who have participated in this Instance, we have a Hell‑level player in the region who achieved the best results!】

"Ah, if there were other levels with suspense, once we say it's Hell level, everyone wouldn't even have to guess. @Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, you agree, right Wuya Dalao."

"@Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji! Boss! I'm calling you! What are you doing?"

"@Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, ha ha, soaking up the good vibes."

"What are you doing, what are you doing? Isn't this still unannounced? Wu Ya's strength is indeed high, but it can't be first every single time, right?"

The person above will soon get slapped.

Cheng Shuili remained very calm, as if the regional channel were speaking about someone else, not her.

She's gotten used to it; really, she's accustomed.

The first time she was mentioned in a server‑wide announcement, she was a bit excited, but now…

She and the server‑wide announcement have become like an old married couple; she can't muster any enthusiasm.

【However, it's worth mentioning that besides the highly‑anticipated Hell‑level Instance, this Epic‑level Instance also saw the best record refreshed by players in this region!】

Epic level?

Cheng Shuili frowned; could it be that kid Chen Qing Shan?

The regional channel has already launched a heated discussion.

"Who, who? Epic level! This track is really uncertain! The hype is maxed out!"

"Really uncertain? Could it be that Qing Shan boss from last time? Honestly, the only familiar face in the Epic level is probably him."

"The person above really dares to say that, who can join both Epic and Hell levels without being a boss? The Hell level has no controversy because Wuya Dalao's strength is overwhelming; the other Hell‑level participants are Ying Chong Zhi Guang, who can't match Wu Ya's sun‑and‑moon brilliance. Epic level isn't like that! Last time, although Qing Shan boss took first place, he was only a minute behind the second, a very close race!"

"Exactly, this is absolutely undisputed. Wuya Dalao isn't just a fault line; he literally leaves everyone ten‑thousand‑plus li behind. I'm not only talking about those who joined the Hell‑level Instance; I mean all players who participated in any Instance."

"The person above really got to the truth; I still can't figure out why Wu Ya, as a Hell‑level Instance player, can finish faster than a normal Instance! Why?!"

"Did you all only find out on the first day? I'm really at my limit, haha, I thought everyone had already accepted it, but it turns out no one ever brought it up?"

"Is Wu Ya really human? He can't actually be a crow, can he?"

"They call him Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, I won't discuss the source; if he isn't human, he probably wouldn't watch this anime, right?"

Cheng Shuili: "???"

And so they kept whimsically debating whether she is actually human.

Fine, it's not like they haven't discussed it before.

【Now announcing this Instance's regional individual ranking!】

【Normal level: First place Cheng Yuyu, time 13 minutes 34 seconds!】

Elite level: First place Yun Tian Zhishang, time 34 minutes 23 seconds!

"The Normal level's first place is that one from last time!"

"This person has a knack for racing Instances; they have some skill."

"Normal level only has three beasts; how many are in Elite level? The time is roughly three times longer!"

"You guessed right, Elite level has nine."

"What about Epic? What about Epic? Any boss want to say something?"

"Epic level has 27, nine times the Normal level."

"Nine times! Damn, how many does Hell level have?"

"I don't know. Wuya Dalao knows; go ask Wuya Dalao!"

Actually Cheng Shuili isn't too clear either; she's been following Lang Wang and the others all the way, which is no different from wandering, so she has no mind for counting.

But it must be dozens of times.

"Anyone want to bet on the Epic level's time!"

"What's there to bet on? This can already be calculated directly."

"Exactly, exactly, are we the ones being duped while everyone else is the big sucker?"

Cheng Shuili squinted; she already sensed that the result would be jaw‑dropping.

【Epic level: First place Qing Shan Yuan Xing, time 18 minutes 21 seconds!】

Second place Men Sheng Fa Da Cai, time 1 hour 57 minutes 33 seconds!

Ninth place Zhu Xuan, time 2 hours 25 minutes 43 seconds!

18 minutes, huh.

It's much longer than Cheng Shuili had imagined, but compared with the second place, it's still a very good result.

This time truly surprised everyone; the regional channel blew up all at once.

"Did I read it wrong? It's 18 minutes, right? Not hours?!!"

"What surprises me isn't the time, nor the gap between him and the second place; what surprises me is that the name preceding that number isn't Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji!"

"Upstairs! I get you!! When I saw the number I also thought it was Wuya Dalao, and I wondered why Wu Ya would take part in an epic‑level!"

"Damn, so from now on, our region will be the Instance‑racing Gemini? One non‑human Wu Ya, and one supremely fast Qing Shan?"

"No, buddy, you're crazy, right? I'm just asking three words: does Qing Shan match? Does Qing Shan match with Wu Ya? One is epic, the other is hell—let's not even mention that—Wu Ya's time is actually lower than the normal tier!! That's the most important thing! Lower than normal tier! They're a true god!"

"Qing Shan must have been lucky, right? Or maybe they had some opportunity and got some item. Otherwise, why were they obscure at the start and then suddenly made a comeback? Anyone bold enough to snatch it?"

The regional channel was eerily silent for a second.

Cheng Shuili couldn't help but let out a light laugh. "It's just a chance, but this chance only comes this once."

What's going on with Chen Qing Shan this time? Cheng Shuili knows it perfectly, but the others aren't so clear; guesses abound, and even within the organization, people start suspecting that Chen Qing Shan might be hiding something that wasn't reported.
