Did his apartment have a treasure chest too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he not find it, or did he find it but keep quiet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Xiao Likun suddenly felt—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe Ding Deng’s death wasn’t so unfair after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye had started on the 20th floor, had a C-tier ability, had opened packages, and had opened a treasure chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even leveled up to 1!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His strength was already among the top in both classes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Ziyu had mentioned before that Jiang Ye’s loan limit was only 50,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surviving past today would still be incredibly difficult for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Likun’s thoughts began to stir—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jiang Ye didn’t make it through the night…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would happen to his treasure chest items?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was deep in thought, the battle on screen between the bald guy and the delivery rider had reached a stalemate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that the bald guy had high stats—he kept dodging the delivery rider’s massive battle axe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the delivery rider’s teleportation skill made it impossible for the bald guy to land a hit on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged attacks, yet neither could touch the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the stalemate wouldn’t last forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combat consumed Stamina and Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And neither of their skills could be used endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the arena, Jiang Ye was starting to feel impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Absolute Focus and Combat Stance had a time limit and a long cooldown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In most battles, he could only use them once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t end the fight quickly…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the skill durations ran out, his boosted attributes would drop sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His combat awareness would also take a serious hit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, he might actually lose to the delivery rider!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the delivery rider was also growing anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His teleportation ability drained Energy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And swinging around a heavy battle axe burned through Stamina at an alarming rate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he couldn’t finish the fight quickly, it wouldn’t end well for him either!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching from the screen, Xiao Likun could feel the tension from both fighters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, he had no idea who would win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sure that both Jiang Ye and the delivery rider had realized each other’s weaknesses by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at that moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald guy made a mistake!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the delivery rider swung his battle axe at him once more—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye’s dodge was noticeably slower than before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The axe slashed into his left shoulder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy battle axe even got stuck in his bone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the delivery rider’s face lit up with joy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he was about to go in for the finishing blow—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite looking exhausted and sluggish just moments ago,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being badly wounded, his face pale from blood loss—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye’s movements were now faster than ever!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far more agile than before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He completely ignored the pain in his left shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he twisted his body, tearing his own wound even wider, just to turn around faster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right hand—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dagger slashing toward the delivery rider’s throat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Xiao Likun understood everything—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was trading a serious injury for a chance to land a fatal blow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the delivery rider dodged,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the heavily injured Jiang Ye would definitely lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if the delivery rider failed to react in time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And got his throat slit by Jiang Ye’s superior stats…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye would win instantly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an all-in gamble—trading injury for victory!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Likun held his breath, unable to blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the end—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The delivery rider lacked true combat awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exhilaration of landing his axe strike was still frozen on his face—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pupils dilated in shock—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his throat was slashed open, his eyes slowly dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye’s attributes were just too strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single dagger strike, he nearly severed the delivery rider’s head from his body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, the gruesome scene didn’t last long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screen quickly displayed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Win]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qiang was once again left stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause, he murmured in shock,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This bald guy… is he really a classmate our age?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He fights like he’s trained before!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know if any of our 80 classmates from Class 1 and Class 2 have serious combat training?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Likun thought for a moment. \"Liu Shun, maybe? He practiced Taekwondo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qiang sighed with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"F*ck… I always wanted to learn Taekwondo or Karate when I was a kid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But my family wasn’t well-off, and my parents wanted me to focus on studying instead…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is ridiculous! What's the point of studying anymore? Fighting is the real deal now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Likun glanced at him and couldn't help but think—Bro, it's not like you were that great at studying either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jiang Ye returned to his seat in the second-floor lobby of the virtual space, he instinctively covered his left shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the battle had been virtual, the pain from that deep axe wound felt way too real!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for Combat Stance keeping him absolutely focused, he might have slowed down from the pain—giving his opponent the chance to dodge that fatal strike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That had been way too close!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was starting to truly understand just how important combat awareness was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment, he was a little undecided—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had 1,600, should he continue fighting in the 100-900 betting range to sharpen his combat awareness further?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or should he jump straight to the 1,000-9,000 range for higher stakes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was debating, a familiar system announcement echoed in his mind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Player Zhao Yudie has posted a Duel Room announcement:】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Hello, everyone! I’m Zhao Yudie, the lead actress of The Tyrant Master’s Three Lifetimes of Sinful Love.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【In five minutes, I will be participating in a Random Matchmaking battle.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【If you’d like to watch my fight, search for Room 151 in five minutes!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Thank you all for your support! I truly appreciate it.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the first line being the system prompt, the rest was spoken in Zhao Yudie’s own voice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players could post announcements?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around him, other players started talking excitedly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait… is that really Zhao Yudie?! Holy sh*t! I’m a huge fan! I’ve only ever seen her on TV—I never thought I’d get the chance to see her in person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"F**k! She’s totally using her celebrity status to pull in a huge audience! If she gets 100 spectators, that’s an extra 1,000 bucks in her pocket!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you kidding? With Zhao Yudie’s fame, 100 viewers is way too low. I bet she’ll get at least 1,000!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think even that’s an understatement! She specifically posted an announcement—even people who aren’t her fans might check it out! I wouldn’t be surprised if she got over 10,000 viewers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"10,000 is a bit of a stretch… We’re still in the beginner phase, and not that many people would spend 100 bucks just to spectate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait—am I the only one wondering how Zhao Yudie even posted an announcement?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s simple—winning streaks in Random Matchmaking give small rewards. This ability to post announcements is probably her streak reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy sh*t—so that means Zhao Yudie is actually strong?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Obviously! Why else would she invite spectators? If she loses, she only gets 10% of the spectator earnings—the rest goes to the winner! If she loses, she’s basically handing her opponent free money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"F**k! Now I kinda wanna be the one fighting Zhao Yudie!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, good luck with that! If she’s bold enough to do this, she’s definitely insanely strong—and she probably has multiple powerful items! She might even be a potential War God Ranking contender!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn! No wonder she’s my goddess! She was a standout in the entertainment industry, and now she’s dominating Doomsday Apartment too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on… the entertainment industry and ‘clean reputation’ don’t exactly go together…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While many players were passionately discussing Zhao Yudie, Jiang Ye gathered some new information—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Random Matchmaking win streaks gave random rewards!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this how Yang Wenchao reached Level 2?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would he also get a reward if he won three matches in a row?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, Jiang Ye leaned toward staying in the 100-900 betting range and winning two more matches first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would give him a higher chance of achieving a win streak reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Decision made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed a 900 bet and started a new Random Matchmaking battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye wasn’t particularly interested in Zhao Yudie’s fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the second-floor lobby, plenty of players were highly invested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Li Ran, who had just finished a Random Matchmaking battle, felt a tinge of jealousy after hearing the announcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being a celebrity really pays off, huh?\" she muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before Doomsday, she was already making millions per day—and now, even after the world has ended, she’s still raking in cash thanks to her fame!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingyao was just as bitter about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh! I hope she gets matched against a pro and loses!
