Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1612: Esports Tournament Part 39

Once the verification was completed, Xu Feng’s character name would remain public, as opposed to Carmen, who was granted the anonymous username 1612.

"Enter the formation circle and wait for the timer." The employee informed them as they called for the next duo in line to come up.

Soon, both Xu Feng and Carmen stepped on the formation circle.

As they entered, they found themselves teleported and ended up in a flying ship compartment.

"So this is the flying ship crafted by the dwarves." Carmen’s eyes flickered. This was her first time witnessing a creation made by the dwarves.

Dwarves and numerous species existed in the Divine World, but their appearance had never been spotted by players.

A conclusion between players had been made that they needed to wait for later updates or a wider map region to be opened up for a chance encounter.

Based on the flying ship’s presence, many reckoned that it wouldn’t be long before missions revolving around dwarves would appear.

"There’s even graffiti here." Carmen gasped and noticed a picture filled with dwarves smithing and working on many marvelous inventions. She beckoned for Xu Feng to join her, only to be confused when there was no response.

"Feng?" She turned around and called him out. To her dismay, he was actually focusing on some empty wall.

She approached him and inquired what was so special about the empty wall.

"This wall has intricate formations and runes." Xu Feng quietly replied. He was focused on studying them in hopes of learning some of the dwarven technology.

"It’s a pity that recording is forbidden." Carmen sighed. She had tried to secretly record, only to notice the function was disabled. Luckily, there was no warning prompt or signal sent to others. Otherwise, it would have been an embarrassing situation.

"Indeed, so you should try to memorize as much as you can." He smiled and continued to study them.

Time was ticking down, and he didn’t get to study much when there was sudden movement.

An announcement was also made to all 200 players within the compartment.

[The flying ship is ready to set off to the destined battlefield. All players can see a parachute being added to your inventory. Do equip them and press them when you wish to exit the flying ship. A system prompt screen of the map layout will be displayed to you and your duo specifically!]

Almost every player was familiar with the landing rules since there had been numerous matches.

If there was any difference, the player’s map was now shared with their partner, enabling them to communicate even without verbal speech.

"Where should we drop, Feng?" Carmen asked curiously.

The starting location was definitely no-go. Although the death rate was the highest at the start, it was also the best time to gain exposure and fame.

After all, the faster one fought, the quicker they would be broadcast live in front of many audiences.

One must remember that the live viewership for the esports tournament had only continued to increase and had already broken multiple streaming records.

It was a sponsorship by the World Government after all. So all the streamers could only be rendered speechless and helpless at being surpassed in less than a day.

"Let’s drop by Riverwood Town." Xu Feng chuckled.

The Riverwood Town on the map wasn’t the same birthplace he was sent to.

Most of the map layout took reference from the actual location to help players become familiar with it.

"Riverwood Town it is." Carmen mused and gave him a funny look.

While they were discussing, multiple players had already been ejected from the flying ship.

Riverwood Town was located at the east edge of the map. It was extremely far, and there were probably hardly any players who would want to drop there given the flight trajectory.

"By the way, what should we do about those two?" She suddenly leaned close and whispered. From the moment they arrived at the flying ship, she had noticed the person Lu Cheng staring at them.

"Ignore them." Xu Feng said lightly. "Clowns like them are destined to deliver goods to our doorstep."

Lu Cheng’s hostility wasn’t concealed in the slightest. It was evident that hatred and anger had clouded his current mindset.

But truth be told, Xu Feng could never understand his animosity.

Lu Cheng was incompetent himself if he couldn’t even carry the school competition just because he and Zhao Kai exited the stage.

Had the situation been swamped and it was Lu Cheng who had exited the competition, then Xu Feng could have still figured out another strategy to win.

There were no dead ends in any path, only one’s will.

If there was no path left to walk, then as long as one had a strong will, they could just create another path to walk.

Roads were never granted to humanity by the gods, but built through the collective work of people.

A few seconds later, Xu Feng and Carmen ejected from the flying ship.

"Leave the ship now, Linda." Almost immediately, Lu Cheng told his companion in a sinister tone. He also ejected from the flying ship.

Linda glanced at his companion with a bittersweet smile. There was full reluctance on her face.

’I didn’t get paid enough for this.’ Linda pursed her lips. She never thought the person whom her client targeted was none other than Cool Wind of the Vanguard Guild.

She wasn’t familiar with the name Xu Feng, but she was definitely familiar with the name Cool Wind.

Although she wasn’t hardcore like the others, she had heard of his deeds.

How could someone like Cool Wind be described as vile and despicable?

Alas, Linda had been paid, and she could only suppress her grudge.

She couldn’t afford a bad rating by going against the client’s wishes.

Ssh-thwip!

She ejected from the flying ship and followed closely behind Lu Cheng.

In the meantime, Xu Feng and Carmen were already far ahead as they continued to fly toward Riverwood Town.

"We’ll land in that house." Xu Feng placed a mark on their shared map.
