Lalisa dived into the game and began working on her missions within 'Future City.' This game offered a wide array of activities, allowing players to embark on solo adventures or choose various professions.

Whether joining a company to build a business empire or becoming a hunter taking on bounty missions. Every player had the freedom to shape their own paths, and each choice could lead them in a different direction.

To ensure the game's stability and seamless experience, Lalisa and Hua Yue put considerable effort into creating a stable server.

The game's popularity necessitated this effort to prevent issues and maintain a smooth gaming environment.

While Lalisa was exploring a new map, a player named BrownieKimbap approached, eager to team up for a quest. However, Lalisa preferred solo play and declined the invitation.

Despite the refusal, BrownieKimbap persisted, sending multiple team-up requests, seemingly oblivious to the rejection. Growing impatient, Lalisa decided to teach the persistent player a lesson.

She accepted the team-up invitation and then initiated a Player Kill (PK) encounter. In 'Future City,' once players added each other as friends, they could be dragged into PK situations without consent.

Lalisa launched a relentless assault on BrownieKimbap, who proved incapable of defending themselves and succumbed within a mere ten seconds.

PK battles typically followed a best-of-three rounds system, and BrownieKimbap helplessly lost all three rounds before Lalisa exited the encounter.

Back in the real world, Yugeom, who had been sitting in front of his computer, was left dumbfounded.

"What just happened?" Yugeom said blankly.

Were it not for the three consecutive losses displayed on his screen, he might not have believed what he had witnessed.

His three companions in the lounge had watched the entire PK battle and witnessed how badly Yugeom lost.

Jinyoung couldn't help but shake his head, remarking, "That was a complete one-sided suppression. Yugeom hardly had the opportunity to make a move."

Chanyeol offered an explanation, "His operating speed wasn't particularly fast to begin with. If he goes up against the server's number one player, Sunflower, he'll undoubtedly lose."

Youngjae added with a sigh, "Sunflower's operating speed is simply astounding. I doubt anyone else in this competition stands a chance against her."

Yugeom, feeling a bit put out by his friends' comments, retorted, "Why are you all so biased toward Sunflower? I only wanted to form a team with her, but she killed me three times. You guys should go and avenge me!"

Youngjae burst into laughter, replying, "We won't go. If you lose, don't drag us into it."

Engaging in PK battles could result in level loss, and they had put in significant effort to reach their current levels. Participating in PK against someone as skilled as Sunflower was a risky proposition.

Yugeom was frustrated and grumbled, "What has Sunflower been eating? How can she be so good at gaming? Could she be an employee at Lily Technologies?"

Jinyoung interjected as he looked at the registration form, "It's unlikely that her skills are related to her employment status. Some people simply have a natural talent for gaming that can't be bought with money."

Seeing Jinyoung's screen, Chanyeol asked, "Are you considering participating in this competition too?"

Everyone gathered around as Yugeom expressed his surprise, "This competition is open to players from both China and abroad. The competition will be intense. Are you really thinking about signing up?"
