Pillar of Yita

Liuli Yue narrowed her eyes to look, and asked with some confusion, ”Which ID is yours? Why can’t I find it?”

Little Luo’s gaze drifted, ”I just finished downloading it, I haven’t started yet.”

”Please, lying is a very delicate art, stop trying to be funny if you don’t have the brains for it,” Liuli Yue pointed to the screen and mocked, ”It clearly shows there’s been one training session, did you draft your lies beforehand?”

Mu Xue’s face turned red, ”Because it was my first time, I wasn’t prepared, and also, this training is skewed towards the Alchemist mode, it’s normal for a Ranger like me to score low.”

Liuli Yue shook the terminal side to side, ”But now it’s not about scoring low, my question is, which ID is you?”

Little Luo hung her head lower and lower, muttering, ”That...I, I, I didn’t make it onto the leaderboard.”

”Pffft, haha,” Liuli Yue laughed mercilessly, almost shedding tears, he quickly put his cold drink to one side and pointed at the young girl, ”Look at you, still saying you’re not a newbie? Alchemist mode training, huh? Kid, let me show you what real skill is.”

The little girl glared hatefully at this guy.

But within just five minutes, her indignant gaze turned into schadenfreude, her face lit up with excitement.

Then, just like someone who was bitten, Liuli Yue suddenly jumped up from his seat, ”Damn it!” His eyes bulged as he stared at the score floating in front of him, and he couldn’t help but blink hard, ”What the hell, what kind of devilish training program is this, how can it be so difficult—!”

Inside the room.

R waited for a while without receiving a reply, and after hearing his companion’s explanation, he seemed suddenly interested in the matter. He couldn’t help but ask, ”What are you planning to do next, you’re just attending to this one ’client’ all night?”

”Of course not,” the other retorted with a hearty shake of his head, ”I’m very dedicated you know, let’s see if there are any other replies first.”

He said this while continuing to search through his inbox.

But at the right moment, R suddenly reached over to hold his hand, ”Here’s an email you haven’t looked at, you’ve scrolled past it several times, didn’t you see it?”

The man looked in the direction of his pointing, only then did he see the reply:

Poster: Ade, Posting time: 10,7,12:35

’Madam/Sir Shana, I have unlocked the level within a week as requested (see attachment)—’

It was an email from two days ago.

After thinking carefully, the man remembered what it was about. He shook his head wisely, ”Most replies like this are just toying with our tricks, having fun at our expense, they’re not worth our attention.”

”Why?” R asked, turning back.

The man smirked confidently, a look of someone who had seen it all, ”The first time you got your hands on the Multi-Polarity Sphere, could you solve all the levels within a week?”

”I couldn’t, but that doesn’t mean others can’t.”

”Come on, R, that’s First World.”

R, however, shook his head, ”You might want to have a look.”

The man laughed abruptly, ”Then you watch and learn what experience is. I’m telling you, I was ruling the roost in this community when you were still a greenhorn in the Youth Training Team.”

As he spoke, he opened the notepad and searched for a while, looked at the information corresponding to this ID, and couldn’t resist laughing again.

”Ha, this kid’s got quite the special background.”

”Hmm?”

”I bet it’s that kid, you know the hottest topic in the community lately.”

”Is it him?” R understood right away, a serious glint flashing in his eyes, ”I heard the military is looking for this person, how do you know it’s him?”

”I guessed. I asked him if he wanted revenge, and he took the bait, pretty much a certainty,” the man spread his hands, ”I’ve also seen that video, the kid’s got some talent, he might really solve the first level, but to say he solved them all, that’s a bit funny.”

”This guy might not even realize there are more levels to the training program,” he muttered, while opening the attachment from Fang Hong.

R just quietly replied, ”I think you’d better finish looking before you talk.”

”Don’t worry, I’m certain I won’t be wrong,” the man answered confidently, ”You see, I knew that I—”

His hands suddenly froze in place.

His expression solidified instantly, his eyes widened, mouth agape, in disbelief as he stared at the score in the attachment. R quickly brushed his hand aside, traced over the score, then turned back around, looking at his companion with a teasing look:

”Did you see that?”

”What... what?”

”His score is higher than yours.”

”That’s impossible...”

The man ruffled his hair as if he had just seen something completely inconceivable, ”I’ve got it!” he declared with conviction, ”This guy must have cheated!”

R stood up straight, chuckling sarcastically, ”F, could we have a more meaningful, more intelligent conversation, please?”
