"You have chosen Killing Game two versus two. Please confirm.

"Your team is choosing the opponents, waiting for the other party to accept...

"Accepted, scenario generating...

"Downloading, please wait for a moment."

Feng Bujue felt a loss of gravity on his body and his surrounding turned back. Then a child’s scream entered his ears. "Make your enemy cower in fear, let them experience the true meaning of horror! Wa!"

"Download complete. You are playing the Killing Game.

"Scenario introduction is provided in this mode and there is a chance for the trigger of side or hidden mission and a special world-building.

"Reward for victory: Puzzle Cards x2

"Playing the scenario introduction soon. The game will start right after."

The introductory cinematic followed. In the screen appeared a rather large building.

"At the start of 22nd century, Everything Corps became the world’s biggest chain industry. As everyone knows, ’Everything’ started in retail and managed to become the leader of the industry in just five years.

"Today, in the supermarket with the name Everything, you can literally find ’everything’. Be it clothes, cloth, medicine, toys, everyday items, electronic, jewelry, make-up, car spare parts, small boats... it has everything. Even if you come here with an obsolete electronic device that has gone out of service a decade ago, you can still find the related spare part or have the worker fix it."

At this point in the narration, the screen moved from an eagle’s eye view and pulled downward to the side of the building. There was a pentagram logo on the side of the wall and the two sides of the logo had the name ’Everything’ surrounding it.

"This is the biggest Everything compound in the world. Night has fallen and the operating hour is over, the accountants and cleaners have left for home. As the building settles down, inside this big building, the fun and noise melt away, leaving behind darkness and quiet. But... as the clock strikes twelve..."

The narration and cinematic stopped, and the system announced,

"Main quest triggered. Kill all the members of the opposing team. Side quest triggered. Join the Classic Camp and end the war."

"Hmm... the side quest is tossed out just like that...?" Feng Bujue said as he looked at the two quests in the menu. Before he could give it much thought, the scenario had started. Even though it was still dark, it was obvious that they had regained their mobility. Feng Bujue took out the flashlight from his inventory. He closed his hand over the bulb before switching it on. Considering Laughing Soul’s sniping ability, reaction speed, and analytical mind... Feng Bujue did not dare to put his guard down. This simplest movement showed his caution. Before knowing their surroundings, the light from the flashlight could be lethal. When their location was exposed, even if they weren’t one-shotted, they would be cornered.

Therefore, Feng Bujue covered the bulb and used the weak light that filtered through the gaps of his fingers to look around first before coming up with the next step of the plan. But... the next second, a bright light appeared next to Brother Jue.

"Hmm? Brother Jue, why are you holding the flashlight that way?" Xiao Tan wore the miner’s hat on his head and asked Feng Bujue innocently.

"Haha... I was being dumb, obviously." Feng Bujue laughed self-deprecatingly. Then he moved his hand away and allowed the light to pierce into the darkness. After looking around, Feng Bujue realized they were standing inside an enclosed rectangular room. This room was empty. It did not even have a door or window. The ceiling, ground, and four walls were made from the same material, it had the feel of cardboard but with a coarser surface and a strange thickness to it. Brother Jue walked around the room to get a gauge of its length and width. It was about 8x5x3 meters.

"By the way, Brother Jue, you said Soulie is concerned about me. What do you mean by that?" Xiao Tan asked. Since they were alone, Feng Bujue felt no need to hold back. He replied, "You still don’t get it... Her suggestion of this ’practice matches within the guild’ is all for you."

"For me?" Xiao Tan was shocked.

"Who else could it be for? She is not participating in the Tournament," Feng Bujue explained, "Passing Rain is not joining too and me... well, I’m not boasting but I’ve plenty of experience in Killing Game, and you guys know that. So, these kinds of practice matches don’t mean much for me."

"Hmm... I think I get it now. Indeed... I’ve played too few Killing Games." Xiao Tan scratched his chin and nodded. "Then, this means that the three of you are helping me train?"

"Not entirely," Feng Bujue said. "If we just want to do that, we can select Battle Royale mode and the three of us can torture you one after another."

"Oh... That works too!" Xiao Tan gasped.

"But that kind of practice won’t lead to any good results. Because the three of us... If we’re serious, you won’t have a winning chance at all against any of us." Xiao Tan couldn’t deny that... In his few Killing Games, one of a trial one versus one duel with Laughing Soul. It was clear that the girl didn’t treat it seriously, but she still won with ease...

"If the power levels between the two sides are too large, the loser wouldn’t learn anything from the battle. In contrast, he might lose confidence and get traumatized." Feng Bujue continued, "So, this arrangement of me in the same group with you fighting against the two girls who are of almost equal power levels will be more helpful to you." He explained, "Of course, I believe Laughing Soul didn’t expect I would rise to the second place on the combat stat ranking in a few days. This is good news because based on the principle of the weakest pairing with the strongest, Passing Rain should be your partner but that will be far less efficient compared to us boys teaming together."

"You’re not wrong there. Sister Rain doesn’t like to speak, and she would often kill everything that blocks the way without saying a word..." Xiao Tan commented. While they spoke, they had checked the whole room. They didn’t find any clues or trigger any events.

"Okay..." Feng Bujue removed his gloves and touched along the wall. He still didn’t find anything, so he said, "There are only two possibilities. One... the system wishes for us to break through the wall."

Xiao Tan asked, "Then what’s the second one?"

"The second possibility is to wait for the time to pass and some event to trigger," Feng Bujue said.

Coincidentally enough, when he said that, something did happen. Suddenly, a side of the ceiling was being lifted up. Seconds later, the ceiling was slanted several degrees and a ray of white light was shone in through the opening.

Feng Bujue and Xiao Tan titled their heads up to look and saw... through the gap, two heads showed themselves.

From their appearance, they looked like Ultraman and Optimus Prime...
