At half-past eleven, another team was eliminated.

Towards the end, there were only four teams left.

Xie Minghai and Yu Lei slammed their keyboard furiously, treating the boss as their enemy.

Xie Minghai said, “If this continues, I’ll definitely break down.”

Yu Lei chimed in, “This is indeed crazy. I feel like the number of bosses I’m fighting today is comparable to the total number I fight in an ordinary week.”

Tang Zhiyun glanced at Chu Luo’s screen.

At this moment, Chu Luo happened to have just killed a boss and was walking over to pick up the equipment.

“Junior, these equipment aren’t as good as those from the big bosses yesterday. Why are we picking them up?”

Chu Luo said as she picked up the equipment, “Since the big boss’s equipment can be combined, maybe these can be too.”

After saying that, she glanced at the time.

It was already 11 AM.

She asked the group, “Are your inventories full?”

They all pulled out their inventory at the same time and said, “It’s full.”

“Let’s gather first.”

After saying that, she directed her game character to walk towards the gathering point.

The other four people walked over as well.

After the five of them gathered, Chu Luo typed in the chatbox.

Bai Ling: “Intoxicated, let’s see if your cauldron can be upgraded.”

Intoxicated: “I’ll try.”

After saying that, he started to level up his cauldron.

It actually took half an hour to level up.

At this moment, a staff member reminded them from behind, “Everyone, it’s time for lunch.”

“Who’d still be in the mood to eat at this time?” Xie Minghai stared at Xu Qingfeng’s computer and asked anxiously, “Why did it take so long to level up?”

“I don’t know either.” Xu Qingfeng tried to press a few buttons but to no avail.

Chu Luo thought for a moment and said, “Let’s eat first. After we’ve eaten, the cauldron will have just finished upgrading. When the time comes, there might be an unexpected effect.”

The four of them thought for a while and paused the game to eat.

The audience who had been guarding their computer was even more anxious than they were.

“I’m so anxious. Could it be that ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ feels that there is no way they could leave, so they aren’t anxious anymore?”

“It’s possible. In such a situation, it’s already good enough that they didn’t give up on the competition.”

“The rules for this year’s World Championship are too crazy. I feel like none of them can return to Earth.”

“I have the same feeling. Other than ‘Phoenix Skies Legend,’ the other teams that encountered two of the players ranked in the top ten of the world’s expert rankings had been eliminated. The fact that they haven’t been eliminated yet proves that their strength is comparable to that of those experts.”

“However, the team captain and Bai Ling of ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ are too calm. To think they’d still be in the mood to eat at this time. Even I, a spectator, can’t eat.”

“Me too.”

“Hey… Say, do you think Carefree Wanderer and Bai Ling are a pair? Their coordination is too good, right?”

…

“Master.”

Secretary Tan, who was reporting to Li Yan, suddenly felt a strong murderous aura. He quickly looked up at him and was shocked by his cold expression.

Li Yan didn’t even look at him. He said in a low voice, “Get someone to clarify the relationship between Luoluo and Carefree Wanderer. I don’t want to see such groundless rumors spreading again.”

Secretary Tan hurriedly glanced at the forum with the tablet in his hand. What he saw made him light a candle for the person who’d speculated about Chu Luo and Tang Zhiyun’s relationship. “Yes.”

The moment Secretary Tan walked out, Li Yan quickly started typing on the keyboard. The force behind his typing made one feel like the keyboard was going to be destroyed.

…

Chu Luo and the others had just finished their meal when the female staff was called out. Then, a beautifully wrapped cake was brought in.

She handed the cake to Chu Luo. “Miss Bai Ling, this is the dessert that the gaming team has prepared for you.”

“Eh? The gaming team is so good. They even prepared dessert for Junior?” Xie Minghai immediately craned his neck to take a look.

Chu Luo looked at the cake in front of her and guessed who it was from. She pursed her lips and hesitated about whether to take it.

Seeing that she was taking a long time to respond, Xie Minghai took it for her and even thanked the female staff as well.

After the female staff left, he handed the cake to Chu Luo. “Junior, don’t you like cake a lot? You didn’t eat much for lunch anyway. You should eat a little more. Maybe inspiration might strike after dessert.”

Chu Luo glanced at Xie Minghai, then took the cake and sat on the sofa to open the box.

The fragrance of the cake instantly brightened her mood. However, she couldn’t help but twitch her lips. The cake wasn’t big and there were many fruits on it. There were no less than ten types of fruits.

Chu Luo used a spoon and ate the fruit one by one. Every piece of fruit was fresh and sweet, and they tasted especially fragrant with cream.

As she ate, her eyes suddenly lit up. She turned around and asked Xu Qingfeng, “Senior, has the cauldron finished upgrading?”

Xu Qingfeng was already sitting in front of the computer. By now, half an hour had just passed. He made an OK gesture to Chu Luo.

Chu Luo dug up another spoonful of cake and ate it, then put the cake aside and walked over.

The other three followed.

After Chu Luo sat down, she said to them, “Everyone, take out everything that the bosses have dropped today.”

The four boys quickly opened their inventories.

Chu Luo began to tell them what they needed, one by one.

The outside world was stunned by their actions.

“What’s going on? These people from ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ don’t think they can get out of here anymore, so they are starting to split the loot from the bosses?”

“Looks like it’s possible. After all, the equipment they’d obtained are all top-grade items that can’t be obtained easily usually.”

“It seems like we are destined to win our bet.”

“Sigh, what a pity. Previously, I’d thought that ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ was really going to win.”

“I was hoping that ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ would match up with one of the other three teams on the way back. I was waiting to see a fight!”

…

“Hey… Wait, everyone, look. What’s the support of ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ doing?”

“Eh? He actually threw all their items into the cauldron?”

“Can the items be refined like this? Could it be that they think…”

These words stopped here.

When everyone saw the large items that were being synthesized, there was a new wave of discussion.

“What is that? Could it be a newly developed Interstellar Spacecraft by the gaming team?”

“There are even wings and a cabin. It must be.”

“This… doesn’t it mean that as long as they’ve gathered all the parts, they can create an Interstellar Spacecraft that will take them away from where they are and return to Earth?”

“Definitely!”

The audience who had been paying attention to “Phoenix Skies Legend” immediately became excited.

Everyone held their breaths and stared at the computer screen.

In Game Room No.5.

Looking at the almost complete warship, the boys were excited.

At 1:30 PM, Xu Qingfeng finally finished the synthesis.

“Why do I feel like I’m missing something?”

Yu Lei controlled the game character to enter the warship and take a look. He came out and said, “There’s really something missing.”

Just then, Tang Zhiyun suddenly warned them, “Everyone, get ready. Seven or eight bosses are coming towards us.”

“Tsk, seven or eight?”

“You must be kidding!”

“That’s no fun at all!”

Chu Luo stared at the seven or eight bosses that were rapidly approaching and pursed her lips. Then, she said to the group, “Everyone, take out the materials that can be used to synthesize a cannon from your inventory.”

“Uh… Oh, okay!”

After being stunned for a moment, the four boys quickly took out the materials from their inventories.

Xu Qingfeng threw all of them into the cauldron.

As the bosses surrounded them, an awesome cannon was successfully synthesized.

Bai Ling: “Fight!”

Rumble…

After that, everyone could only see the dazzling white light on the entire screen and hear the bosses’ furious roars as they were killed.

In less than ten minutes, those seven or eight bosses were blown to pieces.

The white light disappeared, and all they could see were the top-grade items that had fallen from their bodies.

This time, Chu Luo didn’t need to say anything. Xu Qingfeng quickly refined these things.

By 2:30 in the afternoon, everything was successfully refined.

An Interstellar Spacecraft that was different from what everyone had seen before appeared in front of them.

The five of them quickly boarded the Interstellar Spacecraft.

Turbid Liquor Glutton: “Why isn’t there an interface for activation?”

Carefree Wanderer: “Everyone, split up and look for it. It is possible that this kind of spacecraft doesn’t need an activation interface.”

Bai Ling: “See if there’s anywhere to insert the key.”

The five of them quickly split up to look for it.

After searching for almost two minutes, Bai Ling: “Everyone, come here.”

Everyone surrounded her and saw a groove near the right wing of the spacecraft.

Carefree Wanderer inserted the key. In a flash, the spacecraft disappeared.

The team called “Phoenix Skies Legend” also disappeared from sight.

“What just happened? Why did the entire ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ team disappear?”

“Could it be that they’d activated something that shouldn’t have been activated and were directly eliminated?”

“I don’t think so. The system didn’t send out any news of elimination.”

At this moment.

System Notification:

Congratulations to team ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ for returning to Earth and getting first place in the World Championship.

…

At this moment, the entire Internet suddenly fell silent as though no one was watching.

Ten seconds later, the first comment appeared:

“D*mn! Awesome!”

Then, the entire world channel blew up.

Chu Luo had no idea what the outside world was like. She looked at the boys who’d jumped up from their seats and couldn’t help but smile.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of the unfinished cake and turned around to look for it.

The two staff members standing at the side were so excited that they couldn’t speak. They seemed to have understood her intentions and the female staff quickly took out the remaining cake from the fridge and handed it to her.

Chu Luo took the cake and smiled at the boys jumping around as she ate.

In her heart, however, she thought in a tsundere manner, ‘On account of your cake making me think of the key points, I won’t argue with you about anything other than being married.’
