A Slight Smile is Very Charming

Part 10: Sinister, too sinister

Du...Du...Duel?!

Wei Wei is so alarmed, her tongue nearly ties into a knot. After a long time she says: "Why would RealWater agree to duel?"

No matter how you look at it, RealWater isn't that type of impetuous person.

In "Dream Voyage in Rivers and Lakes," there are two types of official one vs one competitions. One is skill improvement interaction, commonly known as PK. The other type is dueling. It's okay if you lose at a skill improvement interaction; you don't lose experience or levels. Only your battle ranking will not be as good. A duel is different, every time you lose a duel, you drop a level. If you are at a low level, then it's alright. You can get back the level you dropped very easily. If you are at a high level, like Wei Wei and RealWaterIsScentless, losing a level means half a month of your time was wasted.

Not to mention, RealWaterIsScentless is also someone who spends real money to play the game. His equipment and stuff are all top-notch. But to compete with the same top-notch equipment as Great Master NaiHe in a duel...

Basically means you're seeking death!

Wei Wei has partnered with both of them before, so she understands their strengths very well. She can't help but say that the disparity between their micromanagements is just too huge. Great Master NaiHe is a heavenly immortal and no longer on a human level, while RealWaterIsScentless at most almost on par with Wei Wei.

Therefore, Wei Wei highly suspects that perhaps RealWaterIsScentless is taking things too hard.

YuGong answers her: "It's not a question of whether he was willing. Third brother sent an invitation to battle with him on the world channel. That battle invitation was cruel. If he didn't come, then he wouldn't dare to show his face again on the server."

He even sent a battle invitation? So formal...Shocked, Wei Wei asks: "What were the terms?"

MonkeyWine says: "NaiHe invited RealWaterIsScentless to three rounds of battle, saying that, as long as RealWaterIsScentless won one of the rounds, then RealWaterIsScentless would be the winner and he will not continue pursuit of the video stuff. Plus, NaiHe wouldn't bring his spirit pet. Tell me, if RealWaterIsScentless doesn't even accept this type of battle challenge, then can he even be considered a man? Even losing is better than not going."

Not bringing his spirit pet...

He can even win like that?

Wei Wei keeps on twitching in embarrassment. Didn't she say that the Great Master is inhuman, this has proven it. And the way he sent the battle invitation was quite~~quite dumbstricking. If NaiHe had challenge RealWaterIsScentless in a fair duel, then even if RealWater doesn't accept the challenge and admits that he wasn't as strong as NaiHe, then he doesn't suffer too much humiliation. After all, NaiHe's strength has already been exhibited. But this type of battle invitation pretty much forces him onto the battlefield, otherwise he would be too embarrassed to continue on.

MonkeyWine says: "Later I started sympathizing with RealWaterIsScentless. He was quite pitiful. If it only took one battle to determine the winner, then he would only lose one level. If it was best two out of three, then after losing two, he could have conceded and only lost two levels. Unfortunately, NaiHe wanted to play like this. The guy clearly knew that he was going to lose the third round, but still had to continue onto the third round to defend his honor."

YuGongClimbsAMountain: "Sinister, really sinister."

NaiHe says: "You guys are thinking too much. I just didn't want to waste time arguing."

Wei Wei thinks about it and agrees. If it was a fair battle invite, RealWater will have found an excuse not to go onto the battlefield. Going back and forth would have really been a waste of time. This battle invitation of the Great Master's was really a one shot strike.
