Can't Afford It

Time flew by.

The global competition held in Zhonghai City was grandly opened under the watchful eyes of everyone!

Early in the morning, Xu Yuan stepped onto the teleportation array with hundreds of contestants and entered the venue of the opening ceremony ahead of time.

After a series of tedious entrance ceremonies, the contestants arrived at the secret realm arena of this grand event under the passionate commentary of the host.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

"You can now choose your favorite players to watch through the live broadcast. You could also stay in the main venue and watch the official broadcast. Now, let's enjoy this grand competition together!"

Bang!

The fireworks blossomed.

The cheers of the audience were deafening.

On the huge screen in the main venue, the first shot was given to the contestant with the highest chance of winning the championship in the country.

Mu Ziqiu.

The top prodigy of the Mu family in Midlake.

A level 79 Holy Word Mage with tyrannical strength.

"Contestant Mu Ziqiu's luck isn't bad. The place he descended to is considered safe."

The venue of the competition was a large secret realm in the suburbs of Zhonghai: Mirror of Hell!

Legend has it that it was the projection of hell on Earth.

"Contestant Mu Ziqiu has met his first opponent, a Scorch Mark Demon Hound with three heads! "

On the screen, Mu Ziqiu was up against a three-headed hellhound with a terrifying appearance.

A holy and dazzling spell surged from Mu Ziqiu's fingers, quickly turning the three-headed hellhound into points.

"Awesome!"

"A high-level hell demon couldn't even last three moves from my husband! He's too strong!"

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by your husband? Little Burner, you have quite the imagination! That's clearly my husband!"

"Youkun! It's so scary!"

Mu Ziqiu was not only handsome.

After learning the Holy Word spell, his temperament revealed traces of nobility and holiness.

Of course, this kid was very pleasing to the eye, but the official broadcast camera could not always focus on him.

After the battle, Mu Ziqiu's image was zoomed out to the side.

The main screen had already switched to another contestant who was very popular.

The viewers who liked Mu Ziqiu took out their phones or other mobile devices and clicked into the live broadcast room that was focused on Mu Ziqiu.

The comments were flooding the screen like crazy.

Whether it was the domestic or foreign contestants, they all got a chance to make an appearance in the main broadcast.

Of course, it was impossible to treat everyone equally.

The more popular they were to the viewers, the earlier they were shown.

For example, the domestic player Mu Ziqiu, the Lighthouse Country's Thunder God of War, the Northern European [Angel], and the many macho men...

And...

Goddess Su Mo with the most male fans!

Her battle scene was extremely cool.

Su Mo's ability allowed her to travel through the void at will.

An Intermediate Demon Guard that was roaring and charging was killed by her gorgeous sword skills in just one round.

"Goddess!"

"My wife is so beautiful. Cries..."

"Strong and valiant, as expected of Goddess Su Mo!"

"How did she grow up? I wouldn't even dare to do that!"

"Eh?!" A comment noticed that something was wrong.

"There's a figure behind Goddess Su Mo, do you see it?!"

The audience was stunned.

Looking closely, there really was someone slowly walking towards Su Mo.

"Be careful!" The male fan was shocked. "That guy looks so sneaky. He definitely wants to harm Goddess Su Mo!"

Countless people watched the live broadcast nervously.

The tournament wasn't just about the various terrifying monsters in the secret realm.

In the arena, there were only opponents and no teammates!

The other contestants could also stab another with a fatal knife when they were distracted!

On the screen, Su Mo quickly noticed the person behind her.

She quickly turned her head and looked over with a pair of cold eyes.

"Hello!"

Xu Yuan had a bright smile on his face as he waved at her, "Don't be agitated. I don't have any ill intentions!"

Su Mo looked at him and did not reply.

"Who is this kid? He looks a little familiar!"

"That's true. I also find him familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before!"

The audience discussed animatedly until someone sent a comment to remind everyone. "This is the special role guy, the Treasure Chest Merchant!"

"So it's him!" they suddenly realized.

"This guy, why is he here to participate in the tournament?!"

"A little trash over level 30, how dare he?!" When the audience saw Xu Yuan's level, they were all stunned.

He was a second reincarnation weakling.

He actually dared to enter a mid-tier great secret realm like the Mirror of Hell!

"There must be some tricks that we don't know about in the special role, right?"

"He's not weak. He scored more than 7000 points in the mock exam in Linhe Province last month..."

This matter had once caused quite a stir.

The people also remembered when they saw the reminder.

However, they were still puzzled. "How can the secret realm of the examination venue be compared to a mid-level great secret realm?!"

The monsters in the mid-level secret realm were between levels 70 and 90.

The lowest level monster in [Mirror of Hell] was Level 75. Any one of them could deal crushing damage to this weak chicken!

"Level 37. Did he come in to act cute?"

The audience stared at the screen with question marks.

In the live broadcast.

Su Mo calmly looked at Xu Yuan and asked, "You're not going to kill monsters?"

"No, no." Xu Yuan waved his hand and said, "The monsters here are too vicious. I can't beat them..." 

"Let's cooperate!" He rubbed his hands as he spoke.

Su Mo did not understand what he meant, and a hint of wariness flashed in her indifferent eyes.

"Let's team up and earn points together. In return, I'll sell you a chest."

The audience was stunned.

They had never seen such a shameless person!

'Goddess Su Mo could easily solo this, so why would she bring a burden like you?'

Moreover...

'If she teamed up with you... She still has to buy a chest from you?'

How shameless!

Was he trying to take advantage of her?

"A chest?" Su Mo frowned and asked, "Is it one of those chests that can give Gold Epic skills?"

Xu Yuan smiled inwardly.

'Miss, you're quite good at pretending!'

Just now, he had secretly observed Su Mo's battle and saw the spatial ripples he had seen before.

This meant that the woman who had stopped the man in gray that day was her!

"That's right!" Xu Yuan nodded and said, "My treasure chest is reserved every day. If you're willing to take me with you today, I'll cut the line and sell you one."

"Five million each?" Su Mo shook her head and replied, "I can't afford it."

She was telling the truth.

However, Xu Yuan didn't really believe it.

The Zhou Clan secretly controlled the entire Mountain City.

As the adopted daughter of the Zhou family, she couldn't afford to spend five million yuan?!

That day, he met her by accident. Xu Yuan went back to his room to search for information about her on the Internet. He found out her identity.

She was the adopted daughter of Zhou Hongjian, the head of the Zhou family.

Two years ago, she changed her role to a rare role, Void Ranger. She could walk between the void and reality, be it close combat or long-range.

Her talent was shocking, far surpassing the rest of the Zhou family.

Could it be that the Zhou family was not willing to invest resources in her?!
