<h4>Chapter 377: Famous</h4>
Trantor: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
At midnight on May 1st, Passing Rain and Laughing Soul did not go online because both of them did not register for the tournament. They were in a hurry to train, so they decided to stay away from the whole hubaloo, leaving Brother Jue and Xiao Tan to focus on fighting their preliminary matches. But as the clock struck midnight, only Xiao Tan sessfully queued into the preliminary channel. Feng Bujue, on the other hand, received an email from the system.
The subject of the email was: “Congrattions for being selected by the system as one of the VIP yers.” The content was equally sinct. “Dear Mr. Feng Bujue, you have been selected by the system as one of the seeded yers for the Tournament for the Best. You will directly be entered into the Battle of the Butterfly and participate in the top one hundred and top fiftypetitions. Good luck!”
The mail came at 1 am. Within a few seconds, the list of the ten VIP yers were announced on the official website. They were respectively: Sky-Swallowing Phantom Dan, Lying Drunk, Shiva, Yama, deless Swordsman, Uncle Worthless, Xu Huai Shang, Zombie de Victor, Matcha Cookie, and Feng Bujue.
After the news was announced, in about three minutes, Feng Bujue’s friend request, mailbox, and duel request lists were flooded by strangers. It was as if his mailbox was infected by a virus. The emails did note in single file. They came in page after page.
Before this, Feng Bujue had no idea how many emails would fill up one page in the game’s system mailbox. He would always delete emails after reading them, and he had never received arge number of emails at the same time before. Whether he liked it or not, he got something that he did not ask for. A page within the mailbox could show only up to thirty emails in one page, and the tform would also show the first sentence of each email. That night, from midnight until 1 am, the amount of mail Feng Bujue had received reached over a thousand pages. The code of the pages showed 1, 2, 3, 4... 999 pages. If he did nothing, it would not be too long before it went up to more than two thousand pages.
“This game’s system sure is powerful,” Feng Bujue said as he stood staring at the screen. He looked through the pages of emails that he had received over the past few minutes. A normal online mailbox typically has two to three GB of storage and mailboxes in-games are usually smaller, and some even have limited storage. He had already received more than a thousand emails, but the tform is still epting more. Actually, this was totally expected. In reality, of the ten VIP yers, Feng Bujue was the most harassed. The reason was simple. Before the list was announced, he was apletely unknown yer. No one had heard of his gaming ID before, so the other yers naturally became very curious about who he was.
Let us look at the currentbat stat ranking: First-Phantom Dawn (Regtion), Second- [Hidden] (After the list was announced, most yers suspected this mysterious yer was Brother Jue), Third-Shiva (Brahman), Fourth-Lying Drunk (Regtion), Fifth-Uncle Worthless (This was a professional yer not affiliated to any gaming studio), Sixth-Smiling Divine Question (Jiang Hu), Seventh-Vishnu (Brahman), Eighth-Brahma (Brahman), Ninth- Understanding Death (Regtion), Tenth-deless Swordsman (Jiang Hu), Eleventh-Sashimi (Regtion), Twelfth-Yama (Brahman), Thirteenth-Zen Dream (Regtion), Fourteenth-[Hidden] (This was one of the VIP yers, Xu Huai Shang), Fifteenth-shes of Sword (Jiang Hu), Sixteenth-Seven Kills (de Edge), Seventeenth-Matcha Cookie (Mountain River), Eighteenth-Zombie de Victor (Zombie de), Neenth-Not a Scaredy Cat (Jiang Hu), Twentieth-Pegasus (Celestia).
After the Battle of the Cowl, Brother Jue used the buff from Soul’s Eye and carved a bloody road for himself, causing Shiva, Understanding Death, and Seven Kills to drop by one spot. Not a Scaredy Cat, who was originally at the twentieth spot, rose to the neenth rank, proving that she had gained more strength during this period. King of Shadows, who was originally on the neenth spot, had fallen out of the top twenty ranking. Of course, the ranking did not mean anything during an actual battle.
For example, there were two yers, with one ranked 50th and the other ranked 80th. The yer on the 80th had a mastery or fighting style that happened to hinder the yer at rank 50. If they battled, the chance of victory for the lower-ranking yer would be much higher. But this would not change the system’s ranking because the system’s calction depended on how many times you could win in a possible numerical sequence of battles. Even if you could win a single person in a short amount of time, it did not matter. In other words, the system’s rating method was to take out the two yers’ data and then ce them into a battle simtion, henceing up with the result in terms of overall probability. That is used as a basis to form the ranking. Perhaps the lower-ranking yer would win a hundred times against the higher-ranking yer, but that was pointless in factoring the yers’ ranking because yers would be sent to fight in one hundred killing games with random yers. In the end, probability-wise, the lower-ranking yer would end up with a higher number of victories. That was why he would be ranked higher than the one on the 80th rank. That yer would win in a fight every single time. For the photonputer, this was just a matter of math.
But now, back to Brother Jue.
It was clear that the other seed yers were all famous characters. Even though Xu Huai Shang had chosen to hide the name on the ranking, her situation was rather unique. Even though she was not shown on the ranking, she was a celebrity yer. The reason why would be exinedter. In conclusion, of all the VIP yers, Feng Bujue was the one who was rtively unknown. He came out of nowhere. Naturally, the yer base and the public became hesitant, and they became quite suspicious of him.
