At Happy Internet Cafe, Duan Fei, with an Abe's lollipop dangling from his mouth, was lounging in his chair, leisurely playing Glory dungeons.
Looking at the system notifications that popped up from time to time on the semi-virtual interface, he felt exceptionally happy.
A year ago, he was an office worker who tightened screws in a factory, earning a few thousand yuan a month and living a monotonous life between home and work.
A life devoid of any hope led him to become a "slacker" at a young age, spending his days after get off work either watching short dramas or reading novels.
Until that day, he stayed up all night to finish reading the novel "The King's Avatar". When he woke up, he found himself transmigrated into the world of "The King's Avatar" and bound to a system that allows him to make money and become stronger.
He can get a cash reward of 500 yuan and a random boost to his e-sports attributes as long as he kills a BOSS in the Honor game.
Duan Fei didn't care about improving his attributes at all.
If you can make money just by killing bosses, who would want to go pro?
So for the rest of the year, Duan Fei stayed in internet cafes, frantically grinding bosses in dungeons every day.
After a year of unremitting efforts, his current bank balance has reached 9999500 yuan.
As for the six major esports attributes—hand speed, awareness, skills, reaction time, experience, and tactics—they have already been pushed to the system's limit.
"If I just kill one more boss, I'll be a multi-millionaire!"
Looking at the bank balance on the system interface, Duan Fei was extremely excited, and the pace of his typing and mouse movements quickened.
Just as Duan Fei was easily defeating enemies in the dungeon, Chen Guo's voice suddenly rang in his ear: "Duan Fei, can't you be a little more ambitious? You're already level 80, and you're still grinding these low-level dungeons that are only level 20 or 30 every day?"
"No matter what, go and do some level 70 or 80 dungeons. What's the point of farming these low-level dungeons? There are no rewards."
Chen Guo's words were full of contempt.
Duan Fei has been at Happy Internet Cafe for a year now, spending every day grinding low-level dungeons below level 50.
Moreover, they created more than a dozen accounts. After one account was used up, they would switch to another account to use up the resources. It was utterly ridiculous.
Duan Fei glanced back at Chen Guo, shook his head and smiled: "Boss lady, you don't understand. The main purpose of running dungeons is to experience the feeling of crushing monsters. Look at these low-level monsters, I can kill a whole bunch of them with one strike. I can finish a dungeon in a few minutes. I can run ten low-level dungeons in one run of a high-level dungeon. I know how to do this."
Chen Guo said with a look of disappointment, "You have no ambition at all. If you work harder, I can arrange for you to be a group leader in Happy Guild and get some pocket money every month. If you keep going like this, you'll only ever be a nobody."
"Being a henchman is great. There are no restrictions. You can do whatever you want and be free. I like being a henchman."
"Damn it! I've never seen anyone as useless as you. If you keep going like this, your skills will never improve. Even if you play for another 10 years, you still won't be able to beat me."
Duan Fei grinned at Chen Guo, revealing a set of neat, gleaming white teeth: "Isn't this better? Even if I can't beat you, you can still remain a master. But if you can't even beat me, wouldn't you be crying?"
Chen Guo scoffed, "Heh, then try beating me and let me taste what it feels like to cry."
"Never mind, you're so pretty, it's not nice for you to cry. I know how to be gentle and considerate."
"Tch~!"
"Would you die if you didn't brag?"
Chen Guo rolled her eyes at him, then said, "By the way, tonight we're going to Zuixianglou to celebrate winning the challenge. Although you're not a member of our Happy Team, you're still a member of our Happy Guild, so come join us."
Duan Fei's eyes lit up: "Great! If there's a chance to freeload, I'll definitely go."
"You're hopeless."
Chen Guo rolled her eyes helplessly. "Meet at the internet cafe entrance at 8 PM."
"OK, no problem, I guarantee it will be on time."
Duan Fei patted his chest and casually killed the BOSS in front of him.
[Congratulations, host! You have killed the Buried Bone General. Your reward is 500 yuan. Your bank balance has reached ten million yuan.]
"Finally a multi-millionaire! Keep up the good work and strive to break the 100 million mark soon!"
Duan Fei's eyes were filled with excitement.
In just one year, my assets exceeded ten million—something I never dared to dream of in my previous life.
But now it has become a reality.
Just then, a scream suddenly rang out in the internet cafe.
"Holy crap!! Look at this!! What is this?!"
People in the internet cafe all looked toward the source of the sound, and saw a user pointing at his computer screen with a shocked expression.
"Look, what's that popping up in the sky in the Honor of Kings game?"
Duan Fei stared blankly at the screen, only to see a golden scroll slowly unfolding in the sky above the Glory World, as if a divine miracle had descended, dyeing the entire sky gold.
"Holy crap! What is this?"
What new event has Honor launched this time?
"That shouldn't be the case. There aren't many holidays in July. If there are any events, we'd have to wait until the Spring Festival or New Year's Day."
"Furthermore, Honor usually releases an official announcement before launching any events. Could this be a bug in the game?"
Everyone stared at the computer screen with puzzled expressions; the scene before them was too bizarre.
As the golden scroll slowly unfolds, lines of subtitles appear.
[Sky Screen Revealed: Glory's Top Ten Strongest Players List.]
All those who make the list will receive a Sky Curtain reward; the higher the ranking, the richer the reward.
As lines of text appeared on the screen, a magnificent voice resounded throughout the entire Glory Continent.
Even though Duan Fei simply hung the earphones around his neck, he could still clearly hear the mechanical sounds coming from them.
The voice was as cold as an electronic machine, devoid of any emotion, chillingly so.
"A list of the top ten strongest players has been released? Holy crap, is Glory planning to release a ranking system?"
"Those who make the list will receive a reward, but we don't know what the reward will be, or how many people will be able to make it!"
"I never knew Honor of Kings had a leaderboard! It would be so awesome if we could make it!"
"Don't get too excited yet. I suspect this is a virus in the game."
Hearing the noisy discussions around him, Duan Fei frowned slightly.
"Could it be the system playing tricks?"
Duan Fei immediately called out to the system: "System! System! What is this canopy? Did you create it?"
[Hello host, the Sky Curtain is a consciousness independently created by the Glory game and is unrelated to this system.]
"It wasn't the system that did it..." Duan Fei was shocked.
Has Honor of Kings really gained sentience?
As Duan Fei remained puzzled, the text on the sky continued to pop up, and that cold voice continued to ring out.
The Heavenly Rankings are manifestations of the will of the Heavenly Dao, and all rankings are absolutely fair and impartial.
[The first honor ranking list revealed this time: the Top Ten Honor Players in the World.]
[Ranking criteria: Individual combat ability.]
[List selection scope: Honor players worldwide.]
Those who make the list will receive an exclusive, customized reward sent from the Sky Screen.
[59 minutes and 59 seconds until the list is revealed...]
At that moment, the whole world was shocked.
"Holy crap! It's the global honor rankings!!"
"Awesome! This Sky Screen Ranking is amazing!! They actually announced the top ten players in the world of Glory, just thinking about it is exciting!"
"Top ten martial arts masters in the world! I wonder who will make the list, and how many people from our country will be on it!"
All the online Honor players around the world looked on in disbelief.
Top 10 Global Honor Players?
Honor of Kings has been running for eleven years, and there has never been a ranking list like this before.
Even the domestic rankings are just compiled by the players themselves; Honor has never released any official rankings.
......
"Captain! Look quick! The Global Top Ten Glory Players Ranking! Glory actually released a ranking list, and it's a global ranking list!"
A young man with tiger teeth from the Blue Rain team shouted in shock.
"What top ten masters list? Shaotian, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, Yu Wenzhou turned his head to look at Huang Shaotian's computer screen.
The next second, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
A golden canopy reveals the top ten list of Honor of Kings?
The first list to be revealed: the Top Ten Global Honor Players?
After a full two seconds of stunned silence, Yu Wenzhou finally spoke up and asked, "Shaotian, what is this?"
"Hey, this just popped up on the screen. Do you think it's real, or some kind of prank virus?" Huang Shaotian looked completely bewildered.
As a veteran player of Honor of Kings, he had seen software such as cheats.
But this was the first time he had ever seen something like the Sky Ranking.
"It shouldn't be. Honor Games' firewall is now so strong that ordinary viruses can't penetrate it, and there's no point in hackers creating such a virus..."
Yu Wenzhou shook his head slightly; he did not believe it was a viral implantation.
However, aside from being poisoned, he couldn't explain what he was seeing.
"Tsk tsk, I wish it were true, but I wonder what kind of reward I'd get for making the list."
"What reward do you want?"
Huang Shaotian rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment: "Let's get a pretty girl for Blue Rain. It's been so many years, and we haven't had a single girl. It's really strange. Don't we have any good-looking female players in Guangzhou?"
Yu Wenzhou laughed upon hearing this: "If there are girls on the team, won't that affect your sword-drawing speed?"
Huang Shaotian quickly replied, "Of course not! Pretty girls will only make me draw my sword faster. If we had a pretty girl for Blue Rain, I could cut down Aunt Wang so badly her own mother wouldn't recognize her!"
