Qi Xu casually pulled out a table and chairs, then brought out a serving of braised pork and crispy eggplant prepared by the Chinese Master Chef, paired with some rice and steamed buns, and finally a chilled pineapple beer... Ahh...
"Eat now so you don’t go hungry later. The Chinese Master Chef’s signature dishes—how about it, smells good, doesn’t it?"
Song Peifeng felt a bit embarrassed. He had intended to politely decline, but the aroma of the braised pork kept wafting into his nose, and his mouth seemed to move on its own...
So this was the power of the Chinese Master Chef! He’d only heard the name before but never tasted the food—now he understood!
No wonder when the Chinese Master Chef’s name had appeared on the public screen earlier, nearly every player in the district had gone wild... At the time, it seemed exaggerated, but now he realized he just hadn’t known any better.
"Alright, thanks, boss."
With that, Song Peifeng’s face flushed red, and he immediately sat down to dig in.
Qi Xu, not wanting him to feel awkward, also brought out a claypot rice for himself. After finishing their meal, they exited the 1v1 solo challenge space. Tsk, tsk—finishing a PK and ending up stuffed. What a way to go.
Meanwhile, the chat lobby was buzzing like never before. This was the first time anyone had witnessed a 1v1 solo challenge, especially one involving the district’s top-ranked player!
Everyone was dying to know why Song Peifeng had been so bold as to challenge Cyclone Boss.
As the discussion heated up, a notification suddenly flashed across the public screen:
[〖Player Song Peifeng vs. Player Invincible Black Cyclone〗
Invincible Black Cyclone wins! Successfully claims 99% of Song Peifeng’s resources!]
Escaped Beef from Lanzhou Noodles: "Holy crap, 99% of his resources! Song Peifeng is done for!"
Cursed by Misfortune: "Serves him right, the ungrateful brat. Cyclone Boss even took him to the cross-district arena challenge back then, and this is how he repays him?"
Breaking Cocoon into Butterfly: "Yeah, I don’t get it at all. What was he thinking?"
Fortune God's Only Daughter: "Invincible Black Cyclone is an idiot for not finishing him off. What’s the point of leaving a wolf cub like that alive? He’s gonna regret it sooner or later!"
Warwolf 007: "@Fortune God's Only Daughter, watch your mouth."
Ex-Girlfriend’s Future Dad: "Typical Fortune Dog, thinking everyone’s as ruthless as you!"
[To celebrate our district’s first solo challenge match, we’re auctioning off two solo challenge cards and one group challenge card!
The first 1v1 solo challenge card is now up for bidding, starting at 5 survival coins. Don’t miss this rare opportunity—challenge cards won’t appear in regular loot boxes!]
Ex-Girlfriend’s Future Dad: "10 survival coins!"
A Chinese Specialty 196: "12 survival coins!"
Blessed by Luck: "20 survival coins!"
Ex-Girlfriend’s Future Dad: "I bid 21!"
Tonsils Never Speak: "100."
Everyone: "......How are we supposed to compete with that?"
[Congratulations to player Tonsils Never Speak for successfully winning the first 1v1 solo challenge card! The second card is now up for bidding, starting at 10 survival coins!]
Ex-Girlfriend’s Future Dad: "I bid 20! Give me a chance, folks. I’ll deal with Fortune Dog later."
Tonsils Never Speak: "100."
[Congratulations to player Tonsils Never Speak for winning the second 1v1 solo challenge card! Now, let’s auction the group challenge card—this one’s special, with unique opportunities! Starting bid: 30 survival coins!]
Tonsils Never Speak: "100."
Panda Panda: "Hahaha, A-Flat, you’re insane!"
A Chinese Specialty 196: "This is the power of our Goddess of Luck! She’s sweeping the board!"
Ex-Girlfriend’s Future Dad: "Wait, why do you need so many challenge cards? Got a problem? Can’t you spare one for me? I’ll trade you vehicle upgrade fragments—it’s a fair deal!"
Tonsils Never Speak: "@Watch Me Cut You Down, Sis, someone’s bullying me... I’m scared. He seems like he’s got anger issues—what if he comes after me?"
Watch Me Cut You Down: "Ugh, it’s you again? 6 AM tomorrow, I’ll use a locator card to come have a chat with you."
Panda Panda: "Learned and mastered, hahaha! Our A-Flat’s got backup now! Feels warm seeing someone’s corpse."
Tonsils Never Speak: "Hehe."
Ex-Girlfriend’s Future Dad didn’t reply for a long while. Eventually, he @’d A-Flat and Eastern Wish to apologize.
"I went too far earlier. I was just desperate, and I’m sorry. I admit my mistake and promise to watch my words in the future. Please forgive me!"
Heartbroken Kitten: "Bro Future Dad really crossed a line this time. But I can vouch for him—he’s always been this explosive. If you’re still mad, pretend I didn’t say anything."
Watch Me Cut You Down: "Cowards. Both of you."
Ex-Girlfriend’s Future Dad let out a huge sigh of relief. Coward or not, staying alive was what mattered. This one wasn’t someone to mess with—losing meant death, and winning probably meant death too.
Just then, Qi Xu finished scrolling through the chat logs. Sure enough, Qiuqiu had spilled everything in the group. After a moment’s thought, he posted a message in the lobby:
Invincible Black Cyclone: "Everyone’s welcome to challenge me. It’s way more profitable than opening loot boxes—instant riches! @Song Peifeng, I left you a gamble box. Go bet your life, and come back for revenge when you’re loaded."
Cursed by Misfortune: "Hahaha, boss is flexing! Congrats on the win!"
Song Peifeng: "Fine. Just wait. I will. I finally see it now—you’re just as selfish. During the arena challenge, you kept half the vehicle upgrade cards for yourself. I just want to know why—are you the only one who matters? Were the rest of us just decoration?"
After sending the message, Song Peifeng reread it several times to make sure nothing was missing. He sighed in relief—this was way more complicated than killing someone.
And the strangest part? Even as one of the key players in this mess, he still didn’t fully understand why Cyclone Boss had done all this.
Would the person behind it all really show up now?
A Swimming & Fitness Coach Chen: "Bro... that’s your reason? I’m speechless. As someone who was in that arena challenge, I don’t see any issue with Cyclone’s distribution. There were so many rewards—I even felt guilty taking my share."
Breaking Cocoon into Butterfly: "Exactly! If you had a problem, why not speak up then? Whining now is just pathetic. Some people, I swear..."
Chinese Master Chef: "I don’t get it either. Didn’t everyone agree back then? You’re being awful—I’m blocking you!"
Watch Me Cut You Down: "Come on, 6 AM tomorrow. I’ll show you what real unfairness looks like. If you’re gonna gamble your life, hurry up—time’s running out."
Fortune God's Only Daughter: "Hahaha, loving this drama! Keep it coming! @Invincible Black Cyclone, you’ve got quite the fan club."
