Chapter 64

In the palace, the atmosphere was tense.

Sun Yuan's aggressive stance left the players shocked, and they thought he was a bit crazy. Du Bing was wielding a ranged weapon, and in a fight, they would probably be shot dead before they could even get close.

"Brave!"

Tang Yan praised.

This kind of person is worth challenging.

Tang Tang rolled her eyes when she heard this.

Great!

Her brother's problem was acting up again.

This guy idolizes the strong and looks down on the weak, dreaming of becoming a martial arts master in ancient times, commanding the martial world.

Unfortunately, in modern times, martial artists are restricted. Forget about practicing real kung fu; even carrying a baseball bat on the street would get you questioned by the traffic police.

Su Tanxia, with her beautiful phoenix eyes, examined Sun Yuan and found that he had no injuries, which amazed her.

He actually took down that Sporeman without a scratch?

What loot did he get?

Su Tanxia never considered the possibility that Sun Yuan was afraid and let the Sporeman escape, because although their encounter was brief, she could see the pride and confidence in this young man.

Because she herself had the same character.

"Senior, you're so awesome!"

Zhen Yu's eyes sparkled with admiration.

Zhang Ping and Wang Fei were extremely arrogant, like Gao Qiannei from *Water Margin*. But now, one was knocked to the ground by Sun Yuan, and the other was headshot, without even a chance to scream.

Awesome!

"Kid, don't be too cocky!"

Du Bing's face was dark, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

"Win me first, then you can lecture me!"

Sun Yuan smirked, his gaze falling on the longbow in Du Bing's hand.

Just because you got a rare Eagle Strike Longbow, you think you're something?

Ranged weapons are so impressive?

This beta player has at least three ways to counter: the Rattlesnake Revolver for long-range combat, the Speed Mushroom and the Ghost Mushroom for two-on-one.

If Sun Yuan didn't want to waste bullets and combat drugs, he could even go in with his bare hands.

Because he knew the attributes of the Eagle Strike Longbow, and the threefold physical enhancement from *Street Fighter* was enough to handle this battle.

Du Bing was also a proud person. Being disrespected by Sun Yuan in front of so many members made him very unhappy, so he raised his longbow.

Sun Yuan immediately leaned forward, gripping the explosive bat, his feet planted firmly, ready to strike.

"Du Bing, that's enough, Sun Yuan is my opponent!"

Tang Yan spoke up.

"Brother Tang, are you going to get involved?"

Du Bing frowned. He knew Tang Yan was very strong, and more importantly, Tang Tang, standing beside him, had an AK47 rifle in her hand.

Who wouldn't be afraid of that?

"Once I'm done with him, you can deal with him whenever you want, but not now."

Tang Yan's tone was firm: "And to be honest, if we really fight, you might not win!"

"..."

Du Bing was furious.

Am I being looked down on?

He wanted to teach Tang Yan a lesson, but a glance at Tang Tang's rifle made him give up the idea.

"Sun Yuan, consider yourself lucky!"

Du Bing backed down.

Seeking justice for Zhang Ping and Wang Fei?

Du Bing didn't have the heart for it.

The world had become a game, and the new hierarchy was based on combat power. As long as he was strong enough, many people would be eager to be his lackeys.

Tang Yan saw this and felt nothing but disdain.

This was why he didn't consider Du Bing a worthy opponent.

He lacked the courage to stand up to thousands.

Looking at Sun Yuan, he clearly remembered how this guy faced Tang Tang with a gun without fear at the mushroom forest altar.

That's what a real man is!

"Coward!"

Tang Tang sneered, but her eyes involuntarily glanced at Sun Yuan.

Hmph!

Why is this guy so handsome?

I really want to stomp his face with my boots!

"Sun Yuan, once we're out of this Tower of God, let's have a proper fight!"

Tang Yan challenged.

"First, you need to survive the next level!"

Sun Yuan didn't continue to hassle Du Bing, as the next level required players to share the boss's attacks.

"Team leader, are you hurt?"

Zhao Siyu, seeing the crisis resolved, felt relieved and asked Sun Yuan about his condition, but her cheeks were slightly flushed for some reason.

"No!"

Sun Yuan replied casually, walking up to Liao Wei: "Give me the mace!"

"Team leader!"

Liao Wei's face fell: "Give me one more chance?"

He knew he had shown fear in the face of Du Bing's threat, losing points in Sun Yuan's eyes.

"Give it to me!"

Sun Yuan stared at Liao Wei, his voice calm but Liao Wei felt immense pressure. He dared not argue and handed over the Barbarian Mace with both hands.

"I'm not the kind of team leader who sends members to their deaths. I had a way to protect you, but did you trust me?"

Sun Yuan asked.

"I... I was wrong!"

Liao Wei bowed his head.

Sun Yuan took the Barbarian Mace and looked at Shen Jingran: "Want it?"

"Yes! Yes!"

Shen Jingran, surprised by this unexpected gift, nodded eagerly and quickly walked to Sun Yuan's side, snatching the mace.

Wow!

So thick, so big, and so hard!

The feel is amazing!

Shen Jingran was very happy, but as a sea king, even the most luxurious gifts wouldn't make her lose her head. She knew what was truly precious.

That was Sun Yuan's favor.

So Shen Jingran smiled sweetly: "Team leader, thank you for your trust. I will work hard to be a good team member!"

She actually wanted to say deputy team leader, but if she was rejected, it would be too embarrassing.

Forget it!

No rush, take it slow!

After all, Zhen Yu, this mascot, has no brains and is only useful for being a team pet. Zhao Siyu, though pretty, was no match for her.

The deputy team leader position will be mine eventually!

"Hey, team leader, this mace is so big, I thought it would be heavy, but it's surprisingly light?"

Shen Jingran was surprised.

"This mace has an additional effect. The player holding it has their strength doubled!"

Sun Yuan explained.

The others looked at Shen Jingran, envious.

Especially Liao Wei, who originally had this weapon.

"Team leader!"

Qin De approached: "Do I get one?"

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Sun Yuan's backpack, where the blood-stained crowbar was partially visible.

"Good job!"

Sun Yuan, seeing the slap marks on Qin De's face, gave him the crowbar.

"Thank you, team leader!"

Qin De was delighted. Following Sun Yuan meant getting a share of the spoils.

He had considered switching sides and joining Du Bing's team, but seeing Du Bing let two female college students massage him made him think Du Bing was unreliable.

Too easily inflated.

Sun Yuan had saved Shen Jingran and the others without asking for such favors.

Qin De played with the blood-stained crowbar and looked at Zhang Ping and Wang Fei. Choosing the right person to follow is important.

"Wow, this is a rare weapon?"

Shen Jingran, after checking the attributes of the Barbarian Mace, was pleasantly surprised: "Team leader, you went solo and fought monsters?"

That's so manly!

Finished,

I think I really like him.

"Mine too!"

Qin De, looking at the attributes of the crowbar, felt even more grateful to Sun Yuan and gained a deeper understanding of his combat power.

He also felt that Sun Yuan's loot wasn't limited to just these two items.

Zhou Ze, seeing Qin De and Shen Jingran get weapons, was very envious.

He wanted one too.

"Got it in passing!"

Sun Yuan walked to Zhuo Wen, checking his injuries: "Don't worry, we'll be back soon. Everyone, stop chatting and rest."

Sun Yuan lay down, closing his eyes to rest.

The others, seeing this, also closed their mouths, not daring to disturb his rest.

Zhen Yu wanted to say, "You can lie on my lap."

The palace was cold and damp, making it feel like being in an insect burrow, very uncomfortable.

Some girls were crying, making it seem like a horror movie scene.

An hour later, more players passed through the golden light curtain and arrived here.

Sun Yuan glanced and saw there were seven of them.

Chen Jun, whom he had met before, was among them, as well as the athletic girl he had spoken to and pulled by the arm when he was soloing.

"Du Bing?"

Guo Caihong frowned when she saw Du Bing.

Although they were all on the school team, she didn't have a good impression of this senior because he was too promiscuous.

Then, as she looked at the others, she saw Sun Yuan and her eyes lit up, walking over to him.

"What are you doing?"

Tu Huan reached out to pull Guo Caihong.

"Thanking him!"

Guo Caihong's tone was matter-of-fact. Without Sun Yuan telling them that monsters dropped spore clothes and the map to leave the maze, they wouldn't have made it here.

Tu Huan, seeing the girl he secretly liked talking to Sun Yuan, was very unhappy.

"Team leader Sun, we meet again!"

Chen Jun greeted.

"You know each other?"

Guo Caihong was surprised.

"There was a misunderstanding!"

Chen Jun smiled bitterly: "Team leader Sun, can I join your team?"

Tu Huan, seeing the older and responsible counselor Chen Jun humbly begging Sun Yuan, was stunned.

Why?

"Sorry!"

Sun Yuan refused.

"Is it that serious?"

Tu Huan, seeing Chen Jun's disappointed face, couldn't help but mutter.

"You don't know what joining his team means!"

Chen Jun sneered, looking at Sun Yuan's team, which included two disabled members. Any other team leader would have abandoned them long ago.

Guo Caihong, clearly more intelligent than Tu Huan, also noticed this detail and, suppressing her embarrassment, asked: "Can I join your team?"

"Sure!"

Sun Yuan smiled, very sunny.

"Is it that simple?"

Guo Caihong was stunned, glancing at Chen Jun, thinking she would have to beg him.

Tu Huan was unhappy and was about to persuade Guo Caihong to join Du Bing's team when everyone's attribute panels were forced to open.

A system announcement popped up.
