Player Xu Xi Has Canceled the Team Invitation

This surge in rankings not only caused a stir in Huaguo, but also sparked another wave of excitement on the international internet.

Although many foreign netizens have paid attention to this extraordinary Huaguo man, after all, his reputation for speedrunning Solo Instance is too famous, and he has also experienced a Mixed-Team Competition, where he easily wiped out all the players, which can be said to have left a deep impression on them.

But while people may pay attention to someone's ranking and ladder, they may not necessarily make a conscious effort to check their Floor Count and ranking.

Firstly, because the vast majority of people wouldn't specifically go through the seemingly endless Global Leaderboard just for a particular foreign player.

Secondly, no matter how talented this Huaguo man is, he is ultimately just a rising star.

In their traditional understanding, if the other side wants to catch up with the veteran players, they either have to grind through Dungeons like crazy or wait for the veteran players ahead of them to die.

Not long after that Mixed-Team Competition, one day at some point, they suddenly saw each other's names in the top ten of the Global Leaderboard.

Foreign netizens:?

They've really caught fire! They've discovered the fourth-ranked person globally has changed.

They had seen players whose Floor Count rankings jumped by tens of times, and even quite a few, but seeing players jump by hundreds of times truly broadened their horizons.

Especially the row with the number of Dungeon, that lone single-digit number is truly outstanding, standing out from the crowd.

As expected, Xu Xi's First Instance became a hit on the international internet again.

This also includes live stream segments of the Mixed-Team Competition.

However, just as the hype was soaring, something unexpected happened to everyone, including Ji Yang: in just half an hour, a new scene appeared in Livestream Room.

He neither teamed up with elite players like Liang Bu, nor was he International Dungeon.

... It's a single-player Dungeon.

--

Inside the Player Space.

A girl with a high ponytail and thin-rimmed glasses was staring incredulously at the panel in front of her.

On the Huaguo Leaderboard, her name had been replaced by a new one.

[Rank: 2][Name: Xu Xi][Completed Dungeons: 8][Climbing Floor Count: 692]

[Rank: 3][Name: Xie Simin][Completed Dungeons: 18][Climbing Floor Count: 681]

"Xu Xi..."

Since the emergence of Player Forums, Xie Simin has become completely immersed in them, and naturally, she is quite familiar with this player who is frequently mentioned on the forums.

To be honest, the God Hunt Game is quite large, with a large player base. Every now and then, there's a chance that a few outstanding players will emerge, which isn't uncommon.

She initially thought that the player named "Xu Xi" was one of them, but it seemed that he was unlucky and was matched with high-difficulty Dungeons. Otherwise, the number of Dungeons and the Floor Count would not be so disproportionate.

She held this belief until she witnessed firsthand the other person's two ranking changes. "..."

Without hesitation, she opened the Player Forum.

Sure enough, she quickly got the information she wanted.

But...

Are you saying the other person has only been participating in the God Hunt Game for 11 days?

Even after resting for a full 7 days in the First Instance.

For her, the experience of quickly clearing solo Dungeons, wiping out her team in Mixed-Team Competition, and ranking high on the leaderboard with a single-digit number of Dungeons cleared was far less impressive than the feat of clearing 7 Dungeons in 4 days!

The former only indicates that this player is very strong and has great potential, and may have the opportunity to go further.

The latter, however, represents that the opponent's current strength has reached the top level.

To put it bluntly, he's a ready-made big shot.

Hmm... he's a big shot who's had some bad luck.

Xie Simin was secretly alarmed.

Even if she doesn't wait the full 7 days, she shouldn't be doing 7 Dungeons in 4 days.

Let alone her, even Liang Bu would probably shake his head if he saw her.

Dungeons aren't amusement parks; players never know which Dungeon they'll end up dying in, so they'll definitely be cautious.

Thinking about it this way, seeing that the other person's number of Dungeon was only a fraction of mine, yet they were ranked above me, didn't seem so hard to accept.

I just don't know how awesome this guy is to be able to treat Dungeons so casually.

Etc.

Xie Simin recalled the scene of her idly sitting in the Player Space before the Player Forum was launched, and suddenly had an absurd yet inexplicably reasonable guess.

Do people really treat Dungeons like a game? Do they just run Dungeon when they're bored?

Just then, a message suddenly flooded into her mind.

Player Xu Xi has sent you a team invitation.

Do you agree?

"No response within 60 seconds will automatically be considered a rejection."

"60, 59, 58..."

This is?

Xie Simin was stunned for a moment, then quickly went to click "agree".

At the same time, she quickly opened the forum, found the specially marked post, clicked on it, and quickly posted a message.

[2162 L: Zhang Yi Tang Rongting, if you two receive an invitation, please accept it.]

[2163L: Received]

[2164L: Received]

[2165L: What invitation? I was just pushed down from 10th place and I'm already yesterday's news? Wow, it's truly heartbreaking to hear and tearful to see~]

Sure enough, she wasn't the only one who immediately paid attention to the post.

Seeing that the two replied promptly, Xie Simin felt slightly relieved.

This thread was created by Liang Bu specifically to connect the top ten players on the Huaguo Leaderboard and to facilitate their communication.

The two people she just tagged are the players ranked eighth and ninth.

Of course, now they are the ninth and tenth.

As for the original tenth place...

She glanced at the replies below, her lips twitched, and she chose to ignore them.

There was a reason she invited Zhang Yi and Tang Rongting.

The top ten players have experienced a new level of Dungeon difficulty, and they team up with each other to avoid being matched with International Dungeons.

To balance the difficulty of Dungeons, they usually form teams with varying difficulty levels, meaning the first and last players in a team are paired together.

The reason for forming only four people is to allow for error in grouping, and to mitigate the risk of the first ten players being wiped out if the Dungeon fails.

Just as Xie Simin was ready to enter the Dungeon, another message left her stunned.

Player Xu Xi has canceled the team invitation.
