After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 242 - 242: All the Top-ranked Players! I’m Unworthy (3)

After finishing the call, Si Fuqing immediately composed a monitoring code.

She was curious to see who would dare deceive their dear Tangtang.

Elsewhere, Jiang Changning emerged from the kitchen just in time to encounter a tall, young man dappled in water droplets. “Brother, you’re back. I just made some snacks, have some,” she said.

Accepting a plate of peach blossom pastries from her, Jiang Changfeng’s phoenix eyes narrowed in contentment. “Mmm, refreshing.”

Although the specific rankings were not out yet, he had calculated clearly that the West Deities team was not as fast as theirs.

JI Xingzhi certainly didn’t expect that Lightning, while playing the dungeon with them, was also monitoring other teams.

Jiang Changfeng usually never played dungeons.

But this time, the honor of the Great Xia Empire had been challenged.

“What’s refreshing?” Jiang Changning sat down. “I’m leaving tomorrow, so I made extra snacks. Just heat them up when you want to eat.”

As she spoke, she washed her hands and began to apply the hand cream Si Fuqing had given her.

Jiang Changfeng caught a faint fragrance and paused, “This is a hand cream?”

“A friend gave it to me,” Jiang Changning replied, examining it. “Mom said I should introduce you to a girlfriend, but my friend is too good. I’ll introduce you to someone less impressive.”

Jiang Changfeng glanced at her, amused, “You really are a good sister.”

“Let me apply some for you,” she said, squeezing out a bit of cream. “Farming really takes a toll on the hands.”

“I’m full,” Jiang Changfeng acknowledged and stood up. “I’ll take a walk.” He left the house, wandering aimlessly until he reached the neighboring village.

At the village entrance, an old man lay in a rocking chair, smoking a traditional pipe.

“Third Elder,” Jiang Changfeng stepped forward, “Please look at this.”

A delicate scent wafted over, energizing the Third Elder who stood up abruptly, “This fragrance…”

He dabbed a bit of the cream and sniffed it, gasping, “Whoever made this has reached the pinnacle in extracting and refining medicinal herbs. Even common herbs can have such an effect.”

He pondered for a moment, “Changfeng, have you heard of Ghosthand

Heavenly Doctor?”

Jiang Changfeng frowned, “Yes, I’ve encountered them in the holographic game. ”

Oracle was just a pastime for him.

“Right, that one. Similar skills, but the quality of the herbs used is not as high,” the Third Elder stroked his beard. “I think it’s a disciple of the Ghosthand Heavenly Doctor, using basic herbs for practice. Where did you get this?”

Jiang Changfeng wouldn’t involve Jiang Changning, so he vaguely replied,

“Bought it on the street, but the seller was gone when I went back.”

The Third Elder nodded, “That’s their style.”

Ghosthand Heavenly Doctor was elusive and eccentric, sometimes squatting by the roadside selling medicine.

Jiang Changfeng had encountered them several times in the holographic game and even bought medicine.

Items from the holographic game could be brought out into the real world.

“I’m thinking of sending some sharp minds to patrol our village and the holographic game,” the Third Elder mused, sighing. “Our medical skills have reached a bottleneck. Finding the Ghosthand Heavenly Doctor might help us break through.”

However, finding him was extremely difficult.

Jiang Changfeng nodded and left without further inquiry. After applying the hand cream, he returned home.

The dungeon continued.

Si Fuqing had already cleared it ten minutes ago, but the second group from the Great Xia region had just emerged.

Battered and bruised, with some dead and others injured, these were the titans of the Great Xia leaderboards, now bested by the dungeon boss.

The internet was abuzz with anxiety.

“Who got the first clear? Did NINE the God get it?!”

“Still not sure! Oracle has hidden the final boss battle, so we can only confirm NINE’s team is definitely in the top three.”

“Second and first are worlds apart. I really feel like we’re going to lose to West Deities. ”

“Wait for midnight, it has to be NINE the God, it must be.”

“Honestly, that final boss was too twisted. I heard the West Deities team has insiders in the game, getting advanced information. NINE is in trouble.”

Meanwhile, at the Oracle headquarters.

The internal staff got the dungeon clearance order instantly.

The designer, seeing the top three, couldn’t help but gasp, “This NINE from the Great Xia Empire is terrifying. How did his APM increase even after nine years?”

The data also listed each player’s hand speed. No.l: NINE from Great Xia region, APM 567

No.2: Kill from West Deities region, APM 478

Hand speed was not publicly disclosed, only visible internally to Oracle. The designer couldn’t comprehend how someone’s agility could increase with age.

“The planner, a call from the West Deities team,” the assistant approached, holding a phone. “Probably asking about the first clear.”

“No need to answer,” the designers waved it off. “We’ll publish the list soon. Let them see for themselves.”

The assistant nodded, unable to resist adding, “West Deities really hit a wall this time. Who would have thought NINE would come back after nine years and still dominate Oracle?”

They knew well the terror NINE represented nine years ago.

A true unbeatable force in Oracle.

In his era, no one could challenge NINE.

After he left, other great players gradually emerged.

It was not even a competition.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

A pinnacle battle between the three major regions, a struggle for honor.

As midnight approached, all players waited in anticipation.

Yu Yao was among them, ruffling his hair in irritation, slowly exhaling.

The dungeon boss this time was indeed monstrously strong.

Forget the top hundred, he hadn’t cleared it, and his entire team had perished.

“Hey, right, Yao, why didn’t you invite your sister to play with us?” Xie Che asked. “I remember she enrolled in the Great Xia University through independent recruitment last year. She doesn’t need to go to school this semester, right?”

Yu Yao was rather indifferent as he responded “Her skills aren’t up to par, can’t carry her.”

“What’s your sister’s ID?” Xie Che nodded, “I’ll add her, might help her out when I have time.”

Yu Yao, somewhat impatiently, “Haitang Flower, don’t add her yet, let’s check the first clear list first.”

“I’m looking at it right now,” Xie Che’s words suddenly halted. “You said your sister’s ID is Haitang—”

He stared blankly at the official Oracle website displaying the top three teams of the dungeon clearance and the player IDs of each team.

Suddenly, he was at a loss for words.

“It’s out, right?” Yu Yao only then noticed the time had passed. “Who’s the first kill, NINE? The live replay showed his team had five people, who are the other two?”

“It’s NINE, he’s first!” Xie Che was still in shock. “The other… you better see for yourself..”
