CHAPTER 277: CHAPTER 258 HANDSOME TO THE CORE

A few minutes ago:

When Guo Shaojie stepped into the arena, everyone inside was puzzled and clueless.

Including Shen Yanhua, who Guo Shaojie called a friend.

"Who are you?"

Guo Shaojie enthusiastically walked up and said:

"I’m Guo Shaojie, don’t you remember? We were drinking together last time."

Then Guo Shaojie warmly placed his arm around Shen Yanhua and walked to the side:

"I just found out you were holding an engagement party here, sorry I’m late..."

Shen Yanhua, looking bewildered, was lead to the side by Guo Shaojie, and at that moment, the sullen man behind Song Tianyang, called ’Shengshi Xiaodao’, frowned at Guile Blade:

"Doesn’t that kid seem a bit familiar?"

Guile Blade also looked gravely at Guo Shaojie’s back, and whispered:

"He does look a bit like him."

The sullen man responded:

"So should we..."

Suddenly, Shengshi Guile Blade walked over to Song Tianyang and stood beside him, then whispered:

"It’s best not to continue with the next match, it’s better if this one ends."

Song Tianyang was puzzled:

"What do you mean?"

At this point, Shengshi Guile Blade had already retreated and didn’t say another word.

Song Tianyang was left utterly confused.

However, Song Tianyang wasn’t dumb. He looked at Guo Shaojie with a thoughtful expression: Could it be because of him?

......

Song Tianyang pointed at Guo Shaojie with disdain and questioned:

"Who do you think you are? Coming and going as you please."

Then Song Tianyang looked at Shen Yanhua with a provocative look:

"If you want to continue, do you have anyone else? Who’s coming?"

"Damn you..."

Fang Zhengrong stopped the about-to-explode Guo Shaojie and whispered in his ear:

"Don’t be impulsive."

Fang Zhengrong then looked at Shen Yanhua with a determined expression and said:

"Continue with the match, trust me."

Despite Shen Yanhua having many doubts about this suddenly appearing Guo Shaojie, he still chose to trust Fang Zhengrong, his friend, and stood up to say:

"We agreed on three out of five matches, and we haven’t lost yet, so of course, we continue!"

"You!"

Song Tianyang never expected the seemingly concluded match to suddenly change like this.

Honestly, after that move Fang Zhengrong showed, Song Tianyang wasn’t planning on continuing the competition.

Because he was worried about the situation getting out of control, just like how this Fang Zhengrong suddenly appeared.

What if a second or third one appeared?

Maybe the odds are very low, even negligible.

But as a merchant, no one likes risk if they can avoid it.

Moreover, Song Tianyang still had Shengshi Guile Blade’s reminder echoing in his mind.

Even though he doesn’t play games, Song Tianyang understands the principle of specialization.

If he said it, there must be a reason.

However, seeing Shen Yanhua’s attitude, it seemed things were slipping out of his control.

This feeling made Song Tianyang very agitated.

The agreement clearly stated "three out of five", which was a reality he couldn’t avoid.

If only he had agreed to a two-out-of-three match earlier, why bother flaunting with a three-out-of-five?

At this moment, Jiang Zhenguo, who had stood up, sat back down and said:

"Young Master Song, since the agreement is set, I think we should continue according to it."

"If you can win another round, then we have nothing else to say."

Song Tianyang glared angrily at Jiang Zhenguo, internally unwilling, but forced by the circumstances, Song Tianyang reluctantly said:

"Since you all want to compete so much, I’ll grant your wish."

The host, being quick-witted, immediately said:

"The Jiang Family wins the third round."

"Next, please welcome the fourth set of participants."

Song Tianyang coldly said:

"Brother Li, you’re up."

Then, from the crowd behind Song Tianyang, a man not more than 1.6 meters tall stepped forward and introduced himself:

"Shengshi Xiaoyu."

Under the uncertain gazes of everyone, Guo Shaojie stepped onto the stage and said:

"Drop-dead handsome!"

"Pff~"

Upon hearing Guo Shaojie’s name, Song Tianyang couldn’t help but burst into laughter, pointing at Guo Shaojie:

"You? Drop-dead handsome? Hahaha~"

Song Tianyang clutched his stomach and cruelly mocked:

"Did he even look in the mirror before naming himself that? Hahaha~"

But after laughing for a while, Song Tianyang suddenly found that the atmosphere around seemed... a bit off.

Song Tianyang finally stopped laughing and looked around in confusion:

"What’s wrong?"

Then, as if realizing something, he looked at Guo Shaojie in shock and uncertainty:

"Could it be him...?"

Behind Song Tianyang, a girl named Shengshi Yiyi sighed softly:

"Did we poke a hornet’s nest this time?"

Shengshi Guile Blade added:

"I hope this ’Drop-dead handsome’ isn’t the person we know."

Because Guo Shaojie left out two words, they still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

Even though they themselves found this hope to be quite laughable.

After all, someone known to be stable as a mountain and named ’Drop-dead handsome’ was very unlikely to be someone else.

When the man wearing the purple-red magic robe appeared on the restaurant’s screen, everyone felt the air seemed to freeze at that moment, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.

Famous Clan’s Drop-dead Handsome: The game’s First Dharma King; a member of Creation Mercenary Corps; former president of Famous Guild...

Any of those three titles are what countless players dream of, yet unreachable. When combined, a terrifying ’machine’ of output comes into view.

"It’s really him, Famous Clan’s Drop-dead Handsome!"

The next moment, the entire restaurant erupted into a frenzy.

They never expected to see Drop-dead Handsome after already seeing stable as a mountain.

Just as everyone was caught up in intense discussion, Lin Yi suddenly said to the crowd:

"Who’s up next?"

......

Today’s update is complete.
