Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1610: Esports Tournament Part 37

Almost an hour later, Xu Feng and Carmen got up halfway through the short drama.

It was paused at the scene where Xu Feng’s character was about to start showing off his poetry skills while chugging wine.

It was wine for the audience, but the truth was that he was chugging water at the time of the filming. There was no way he would really get drunk on the set and delay the shooting.

Amidst the intense part, one of the staff entered the room and announced.

"Xu Feng and Carmen, get ready to head over to the participating venue. You’re up next once the current participants take their leave."

The staff then continued to call out a few people who were in the same waiting room before moving to another room.

Since there were a lot of participants, there were multiple waiting rooms.

But one thing most people had in common was that they had masks covering the upper half of their faces.

Although the names were exposed, their actual appearance could still be somewhat concealed from the rest.

Of course, the authorities behind the tournament would identify them anyway.

There was nothing Xu Feng could do about this aspect.

The World Government was ultimately the leader in charge of the entire world. To hide from them only meant they were a fugitive or had committed a crime and had to avoid the authorities.

Xu Feng was neither of the latter, so he didn’t mind revealing himself.

Moreover, the World Government wouldn’t resort to coercion or other underhanded means to target him.

Think of how enforcement officers were shackled when they had to watch a criminal they knew was guilty leave the prison because of insufficient evidence.

Hateful?

Absolutely!

But laws were the laws, so these enforcement officers could at best just grit their teeth in frustration while being taunted by the said criminal.

"Do you think the officials know about your other self?" Carmen whispered softly. She was also wary of the World Government intelligence network.

On one hand, the esports tournament was a golden opportunity to increase exposure. But on the other hand, it was also a great opportunity for the World Government to gather data for free.

One could say both parties benefited, under the strict confidentiality clauses that the World Government wouldn’t leak players’ personal information to any enterprise or individual.

"I doubt so." Xu Feng shook his head.

He was very cautious and was only willing to expose his Cool Wind identity.

The identities of Lin Feng and Eclipse Nova were still kept secret. Many sought their identities, but they were bound to be disappointed.

They would never be able to find a single clue because they could never anticipate that all identities were the same. After all, the Divine World had emphasized one player per account.

They didn’t know about his cheat item: Mirage Pendant.

Mirage Pendant was the only item that could help him alternate his ID, which was said to be impossible. Numerous players had tried to create alternate IDs, only to no avail.

Therefore, the possibility of him being three people simultaneously never crossed others’ minds. In fact, when he revealed this to a few trusted people, they were beyond stupefied.

Some even demanded that he change his status screen on the spot.

After all, nothing was more believable than seeing it with their own eyes.

Soon, the two arrived at the participating venue. Exactly 200 gaming capsules were placed neatly in an arrangement. One could imagine the size of the venue if it could fit so many gaming capsules in one place.

"Let’s go over there." Carmen pointed at a discreet spot with two gaming capsules available.

Xu Feng nodded and followed her lead. Just when they were about to enter the gaming capsule, though, they were interrupted.

"We saw this gaming capsule first." A woman suddenly barged in and exclaimed.

"Then go ahead." Carmen was too lazy to even argue with them and drag Xu Feng to another capsule.

However, they didn’t get far when the woman’s companion halted them.

"Sorry, I want this capsule." The man snickered.

At this point, both Xu Feng and Carmen realized these two were purposely picking on them.

But the question was why?

"Do I know you?" Xu Feng asked. He refused to believe they picked a fight for no apparent reason.

"Are you for real?" The man raised an eyebrow. "You fucking bastard! If it weren’t for you dropping out of the school competition for no reason, would I have lost my scholarship and reputation?"

"School competition?" Carmen was confused and turned to Xu Feng. From the person’s mouth, it seemed like they were very clear about his identity. Yet Xu Feng definitely had no recollection of them.

"I have no idea." Xu Feng shrugged in response.

"No idea?" The man gnashed their teeth in anger. "Look at me, Xu Feng! You dare to say you have no idea? I’m your senior, Lu Cheng!"

"Lu Cheng? What is this? Xianxia or Xuanhuan side character name?"

Xu Feng was baffled by Lu Cheng’s introduction. He never asked for their name from the get-go. He had no interest in him, nor did he care about his life.

His completely nonchalant and aloof expression infuriated Lu Cheng.

Originally, he was a rising star, and many prestigious universities sought him, including top companies. As long as he won the final school competition to cement his status, his golden road would be paved.

Alas, at the critical moment, Xu Feng actually dared to leave the school competition alongside Zhao Kai, causing their team’s overall strength to decrease drastically.

Because of the unexpected move by them, he no longer garnered any interest and all golden roads halted construction. In the end, he was forced to choose a second-rate university and barely climb back up to high society as a live-in son-in-law.

Yes, he had to marry an inferior and ugly woman!

As for the woman accompanying him, this was something he had hidden from his wife.

After all, he couldn’t stand the mental strain of making love with an ugly wife daily and needed to compensate emotionally with other beauties.
