"Why...why...why should I kill me...what is my grudge against you..."

In the darkness, Yue Yulou saw a body without a head, holding a blood-stained purse in one hand and a blood-faced boy's head in the other hand, slowly walking towards him, while the head kept saying something in his mouth...

"Why...why...why...why should I deceive me...why should I deceive my best friend...why should I deceive our trust in you..."

Suddenly, next to the boy, an elf holding a long bow and wearing antler helmet appeared slowly, and he rushed towards Yue Yulou with an angry face...

"I...I just want to see it...I...I don't want to do this either..."

Yue Yulou kept explaining and trying to retreat, but he found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not move half a step... He looked down and found that a big pit appeared under his feet. Looking down at the pit, there was only endless magma and flames. At the same time, there was a head-shaped horn in the pit. The abominable demon was pulling his right foot with force...

"Gaga! Come down...this is where you should come!"

As soon as the devil finished speaking, he pulled hard, and Yue Yulou was immediately pulled into the endless sea of ​​lava...

"Huh...why...what is wrong with me..."

Yue Yulou suddenly sat up from the bed, holding his forehead covered in cold sweat, not knowing what to do. This was the second time he had done this dream, and he himself knew what he had done in the game... It was not an exaggeration to describe it as unforgivable, but as soon as he went online, the guilt would disappear inexplicably, and then he would continue to slide towards the abyss...

"Well... no matter how many, just take a look at this world and I will no longer enter this game..."

Yue Yulou didn't want to become a real demon because of a game, so he made up his mind that after the competition, he would abandon this game regardless of whether he could see it or not...

He shook his swollen head, put on his clothes listlessly, and after washing up, he arrived in the living room, and the table in the living room was also filled with fragrant food as usual. Yue Yulou smiled helplessly, walked to the table, picked up a small wooden board on the table, and touched the message on it...

"Brother Yulou, the college has to conduct a study test recently, so I can't stay with you these days. Sorry... As long as the test is over, I will immediately think about the same thing.———Feng Lingyin."

"Is it the same as usual... What would they think if they knew that I had become a veritable demon in the game..."

After muttering for a while, Yue Yulou gently tapped his head, sat on the chair weakly, and began to taste the delicious breakfast...

…………

"Brother Safi, you... are nothing wrong..."

In Yue Yulou's room, Lan Zhiyou looked at Yue Yulou with some concern... Because since he arrived at the hotel, Yue Yulou has been staying in his room. If he either learned an inexplicable array or sat still, he had already left the hotel for one step, and he would have been like this for four consecutive days...

"It's okay...what's wrong?"

Looking at Yue Yulou slowly closing the book in his hand, Lan Zhiyou hesitated for a while before saying:

"That... the qualifying race for the Holy Grail Athletic Conference is about to begin... Brother Safi, you don't want to go..."

When he thought of Yue Yulou's invisible things, Lan Zhiyou immediately stopped the words behind him, but Yue Yulou frowned in confusion and asked:

"Quotes? Isn't there still three days to officially start? Why is it now..."

"Uh... it's all my fault that I didn't explain it to you clearly. It's like this... The competitive conference officially started three days later, but in order to prevent too many players from participating, the arrangement of conference venues caused by chaos, the Silver Federal Assembly decided to hold a qualifier three days before the conference begins. Only players who pass the qualifiers are eligible to participate in the conference... Of course, not everyone must participate in the qualifiers. Players like the Knights, who are famous on the mainland, can skip the qualifiers and directly participate in the official conference..."

"So that's what it is..."

After listening to Lan Zhiyou's explanation, Yue Yulou slowly stood up, put the book in his hand into the package, and then walked towards the door. Lan Zhiyou behind him was obviously a little confused...

"Brother Safi...where are you going?"

Yue Yulou took out the black cloak from the package, then put it on a batch, then turned to Lan Zhiyou and said lazyly:

"Don't you want to go and see the qualifiers...what are you going to be too late?"

"Oh well!"

The two of them then walked out of the somewhat deserted hotel and came to the street where there were no people. They felt a completely different atmosphere from usual. Yue Yulou had a premonition that the qualifiers would definitely be very lively...

…………

"A arena No. 28, Group 72, the Raven Druid - Mu Xiuyulin vs. The Iron Virgin, and there is still one minute to start!"

"A arena No. 46, Group 69, Sword Warrior - Sarah Stua vs. Mad Swordman - Bilige, there are thirty seconds left!"

"The Nine Arena, Group 84, Ranger-Sherner Cold Wind vs. Intermediate Warrior-Bai Zhai, there is still one minute to start!"

…………

As soon as the two of them arrived near the competition site, the announcers' hoarse voices and cheers came to their ears. As they got closer and closer to the huge venue, the sound was also increasing in geometric multiples...

"Is it really appropriate for you to come here... Maybe you will meet some powerful mages..."

Following Lan Zhiyou into the extremely huge open-air venue, there was a sound in Yue Yulou's inner world that he didn't want to hear...

"I have my own plans, and I don't need your reminder... Moreover, those arrogant magicians and arcane people will not come to watch this level of competition..."

"Is that true... I hope so."

The entire venue covers an area of ​​almost half a city, and it is divided into eighty small arenas. Each arena can accommodate nearly 50,000 people. There is also a huge magic screen outside the arena, where you can see the results of the competitions of each arena at any time. Many people gather under that screen, and they are holding a piece of paper, not knowing what to record...

"Brother Safi, which are the arena we are going to?"

Lan Yulou looked at the data constantly refreshing on the screen, and didn't know which arena they should go to.

"Well... go to the twenty..."

Although Yue Yulou just reported a number casually, the two of them had at least one goal, so Lan Zhiyou followed the map he got outside the venue and walked to the gate of Arena No. 20...

"What is about to begin now is the Hunter - Late Night to Rune Guard - Antimony Hammer!"

As soon as the two walked into the arena, they heard the still high-pitched voice of the announcer. Then a human player holding a bow and arrow in hand and a dwarf player holding a shield and a hammer in hand, wearing armor painted with strange patterns, walked onto the tall athletic platform located in the center of the arena at the same time...

"Betting, betting... Now both sides have an odds of 1 to 50, so you need to bet quickly..."

An NPC mage wearing a silver federal work clothes kept walking around the players with a notebook, and many people who saw him took out more or less coins and bet on the party they thought they might win...

"When did the Silver Federation start these..."

When Lan Zhiyou heard Yue Yulou's words, he immediately attached himself to his ear and whispered:

"It's normal...even if the game company doesn't do it, players will organize it spontaneously... You know, in this era, as long as you use competitions, how can this kind of thing be missing..."

Just as they were talking, the players on the field had already started to take action. The hunter player relied on his flexible movements and quick speed to play the slightly slow dwarf player around. Although the dwarf player's defense seemed to be very high, the hunter's bow and arrow shot on his armor without even a pit, and they were still at a disadvantage. As long as they were exhausted like this, the dwarf would be destined to be the one who fell down...

"Xiao You... Please describe the patterns on the dwarf's armor to me..."

Although I don’t know what Yue Yulou wants to do, Lan Zhiyou still looked at the dwarf hard, and then told Yue Yulou the general appearance of the pattern...

"It's that rune..."

After listening to Lan Zhiyou's description, Yue Yulou lowered his head and thought about it, then said to him:

"Xiao You, you bet all your money on the dwarf..."

"No..."

When he heard Yue Yulou's words, Lan Zhiyou was stunned. After a while, he realized and kept persuading Yue Yulou to "don't take a gamble" and other words, but Yue Yulou just shook and whispered:

"Believe me……"

In desperation, Lan Zhiyou had to put all the nine hundred golds on the dwarf, but not long after he bet, there was an amazing change on the field...

"Running Rune!"

The dwarf who had been pressing and hit suddenly raised the hammer, and then a strange text flashed on his armor. Then the dwarf rushed to the hunter like a rocket hanging behind him. At this time, the hunter did not expect that the dwarf, known for his dullness, could run so fast, and was completely stunned. However, when he realized, the dwarf had already rushed to him and raised the hammer again...

"Runes thunder!"

As the dwarf's hammer fell heavily, a roar of thunder and lightning sounded, and a text appeared on the armor of the dwarf's body again... There was no longer any suspense after that. After the dwarf kicked the hunter who was knocked out with one kick, he immediately shouted and ended the competition...

"Brother Safi! How do you know that the dwarf has that kind of killer weapon?"

Lan Zhiyou returned to Yue Yulou with a bunch of gold coins. Now he wanted to hold Yue Yulou and kiss him hard...

"That's not a killer... it's just a unique ability of the rune guard... By activating the runes on his body, he greatly improves his strength. The hunter knows nothing, so he naturally has to fall into the hands of the dwarf. However... the dwarf's class is too low, and those runes have to wait a long time to recover after being used once. He may only have the fate of being eliminated in the subsequent games."

"That's right... I thought he would be a dark horse..."

"Dark horse? If you want to become a dark horse at this conference, your strength... is probably not enough."
