Worldly Uncontested

"Holy crap..."

There Are Monsters was a seemingly lazy young man around 25 years old. He was holding a blue SMC pistol and stared at the battlefield—craters left by RPGs, countless bullet holes in the rocks and trees, and traces of melee players' elemental bursts. His face turned ashen. "I didn't expect the fighting up there to be so intense..."

"Shadow Chaser..."

Beside him was a cute girl with big eyes, wearing a spiritual robe and holding Submachine Gun. Her name was Zhixiao, and like There Are Monsters, she was the Vice Alliance Leader of the Old Day Royal Court Guild.

Zhixiao, she looked at me and whispered with lingering fear, "Thank goodness you came, otherwise we would definitely have been killed by these Caucasian Player."

"It's nothing, just something I did."

While comforting her, I joined Cai Cai and Ruolin in cleaning up the mess, taking everything we could—it was all money!

"Oh, right."

I looked at the There Are Monsters and asked, "Has your Old Day Royal Court suffered any losses?"

"We were lucky. When they ambushed us, we adopted a defensive tactic, so no one died. What about your side?" There Are Monsters asked.

"Two people have been lost."

"What?!"

Zhixiao, tears welled up in her eyes; she was deeply saddened.

"Fine."

I added, "Those two both had the Resurrection Sacred Canon and have already resurrected at the Teleportation Array. But I'm really curious about these Caucasian Player. Who is that Marco Polo? He's incredibly strong, easily defeating the three of us all by himself. And how could someone like that not have the Resurrection Sacred Canon? I just can't understand it."

"Master Shadow Chaser, you have no idea..."

Zhixiao said, "I just learned about this team from the Dark Web forum not long ago. They're from the Star Maple Federation faction, which is basically a foreign server outside of our National Server. I'm not sure which country they're from, but this Marco Polo has a very high ranking in the European Server of <Star Abyss>. I heard he was a top ten player during the closed beta."

No wonder...

I frowned. "Good equipment and skillful maneuvering; if it's not a one-on-one fight against overwhelming odds, it'll probably be quite troublesome."

"Um."

Zhixiao, "As for why someone like Marco Polo would go out without the Resurrection Sacred Canon, he actually did bring it. But three days ago, when this group of Caucasian Player entered the Frigid Tundra, they encountered a guild from our National Server called 'In the Jianghu'. After a fierce battle, In the Jianghu was almost completely wiped out, except for a few who managed to escape. More than twenty players died."

He paused, then continued, "And during this process, Marco Polo was just too fierce. He took the lead and had a Resurrection Sacred Canon destroyed by the combined fire of the In the Jianghu players. He chose to resurrect on the spot, wiped out the In the Jianghu players, and then continued to roam the map of the Frigid Tundra, looking for National Server players to loot it. To put it bluntly, this guy was just too arrogant. He didn't even leave after Resurrection Sacred Canon."

"Damn it..."

Cai Cai said, "Actually, if they hadn't run into us, but instead encountered a regular National Server team, no one could have beaten them."

"That's the truth..."

Among the crowd, a player from the Old Day Royal Court named Yu Bai said, "If it weren't for the great god Shadow Chaser overseeing things, I doubt anyone could have killed Marco Polo. He has his reasons for being arrogant, and he certainly has the ability to back it up. It's just a pity that if you walk too much by the river, you're bound to get your shoes wet. It was just a coincidence that the great god Shadow Chaser into him."

"Call..."

I took a deep breath. You know what, these kinds of flattering words do sound nice. No wonder corrupt officials and scoundrels love to do it.

"How so?"

In the Team Channel, I asked, "Is everything cleaned up?"

"Um."

Ruolin said, "I've already taken the more valuable items; I can't carry the rest, and my storage space is full."

"Why not throw away the sauerkraut fish and stuff a blue Submachine Gun in instead?"

"Too..."

After we finished cleaning up the battlefield, I pointed to the battlefield behind me and said, "There Are Monsters here. There are still quite a few remnants on the battlefield. If you don't Zhixiao, please clean them up. Otherwise, it's a waste to leave those guns and ammunition here to rust."

"Good!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all nodded in agreement.

So, by the time the Old Day Royal Court had cleaned up the battlefield, dawn was breaking.

"Shadow Chaser."

There Are Monsters Yaoqi glanced at the pale dawn in the distance and said, "Our boss will be here soon. It's almost daylight. Should we wait for him?"

"Okay, let's wait near Gale Fortress."

"Um!"

As dawn broke, an SUV came into view, carrying six or seven players who got out. The one walking in front looked very familiar; it was none other than the leader of the Old Day Royal Court, the player known as "Worldly Uncontested".

He was around 30 years old, with a handsome appearance, but his eyes revealed a composure and calmness that did not match his age. It seems that the legend is true. This Old Day Royal Court looks young, but he is actually very steady. It is said that he ranked among the top in the closed beta of <Star Abyss> and was one of the top ten players in the National Server.

As a player ranked 99th in the closed beta, I would look up to such a master in real life.

Furthermore, on the Dark Web, this Worldly Uncontested player is highly regarded. After being absorbed into the world of <Star Abyss>, his personal abilities are outstanding. He has been assessed as a "near-T0" player by many data collectors on the Dark Web, even higher than the evaluations of masters Gun Like a Dragon, Shen Jin, and One Blade Into Soul!

Unfortunately, Yu Shi Wu Zheng is lazy and truly Worldly Uncontested to Worldly Uncontested affairs. Although he founded the Old Day Royal Court guild, he has virtually no skilled players under his command. It is said that the two strongest players are only at the T3 level. So, Yu Worldly Uncontested is essentially carrying the entire guild up the ranks with his "T0" level strength.

He's ruthless!

"Ding Han, Xie Xie you!"

Worldly Uncontested forward and grasped my hand, his eyes slightly reddening. He looked at You There Are Monsters, Zhixiao, and the others, and said, "If it weren't for your help, my people would probably be gone forever..."

"Polite."

I nodded. "This time, it was only because everyone in our team had a copy of the Resurrection Sacred Canon that we dared to take action. Otherwise, we might not have dared to do it, after all, Marco Polo's team is just too strong!"

"I've heard about it; you've lost several men."

Worldly Uncontested immediately opened the trade panel, placing three gleaming golden Resurrection Sacred Canon, ten Medical Box, and a large quantity of ammunition into the trade list, saying, "All the Resurrection Sacred Canon, high-level recovery items, and common ammunition we have here are here. I have nothing else but these tangible things to thank you for saving my brother's life."

"..."

I was a little dumbfounded. This person Worldly Uncontested is so straightforward, the kind who's really down-to-earth.

"There's no rush yet."

I canceled the transaction immediately and said, "Worldly Uncontested Leader, how about we discuss these things when we get back to Huaining City? After all, the journey back might not be safe. You can keep these Resurrection Sacred Canon for now, just in case. Once we're back in Huaining City and it's safe, you can compensate us. What do you think?"

"Good!"

Worldly Uncontested nodded emphatically, his eyes filled with emotion, probably because he hadn't expected me to think so much about them.

How will you get back?

"Our SUV is nearby; we'll drive it back in a bit."

"Alright, let's meet at the Huaining City Player Black Market!"

So, Ruolin, Cai Cai, and I went to the woods outside Gale Fortress and found the off-road vehicle. Unfortunately, the key was with Kou Mei, but that didn't stump me, the expert mechanic. So I just pulled out the cable and gave Ruolin and Cai Cai a demonstration right there.

"Buzz~~~"

The moment the engine started, Cai Cai took a deep breath. "Awesome..."

"Having many skills is never a bad thing; you must learn as much as you can."

"I have learned a great deal!"

So, I drove. This time, we didn't go around in circles. The team had already lost members, and we had acquired too much loot after wiping out Marco Polo's team. We needed to go to the Player Black Market to digest it, so we weren't in the mood to wander around the wilderness anymore.

Two hours later, we arrived at the Teleportation Array.

"Ding Han!"

"Boss~~~"

Fatty and Kou Mei didn't go back; they waited outside the Teleportation Array.

After returning the off-road vehicle, I laughed and walked over, saying, "Thank you all for your hard work! Come on over, let's divide the gear. Everyone gets a share, no fighting or grabbing!"

So the five of them huddled together, heads close together.

First, I took out Marco Polo's purple sword, which had decent stats, similar to the Wind Chaser sword. So I said, "Whoever needs this sword can take it."

"No doubt about it, mine..."

Ruolin smiled and said, "There are only two Super Weapon Masters in the whole team. If you don't need it, then it's mine."

"Take it!"

I handed her the purple sword directly, then took out a piece of purple armor. "Anyone except Kou Mei can equip this armor, but I have a better one, so the three of you play rock-paper-scissors."

"Okay!"

In the end, Cai Cai emerged victorious, happily claiming the purple armor.

After that, Ruolin won the Purple Submachine Gun, while Fatty won the purple ring. In addition, Ruolin and Cai Cai also took out three pieces of equipment dropped by the Caucasian Player, and each took them as needed.

I didn't take any equipment at all. The set I was wearing was already the limit for purple gear. Unless it was orange gear, I really wouldn't even look at it.

As for the Blue Equipment, everyone distributed it fairly evenly, ensuring that everyone received roughly the same Blue Equipment. Marco Polo's several blue armors with top-tier attributes were also taken internally.

In short, although this battle was dangerous and two of us were killed, the losses were minimal. The Resurrection Sacred Canon will be compensated by the Worldly Uncontested. On the contrary, this battle improved the equipment level of Ruolin, Cai Cai, Fatty, and Kou Mei, so it was a great gain.

"Ding Han!"

At this time, the people from the Old Day Royal Court also returned.

The Worldly Uncontested walked at the front, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Fatty and Kou Mei, and said, "Thank you both. Without your sacrifice, our Old Day Royal Court team would probably have been wiped out."

"You're too kind, you're too kind..."

The fat man smiled and nodded, shaking hands with the Worldly Uncontested.

The next moment, Worldly Uncontested opened the trade window again and traded all the treasures he had prepared.

Everything else is fake. Those three Resurrection Sacred Canon are extremely valuable. Although Purple BOSS at the current stage have a chance to drop Resurrection Sacred Canon, the chance is too low, and players consume them too quickly. Therefore, Resurrection Sacred Canon have always been scarce, and their price has been inflated to over 1.5 million, which is quite outrageous.

Most importantly, they are rare and hard to find; even with money, you might not be able to buy them. Therefore, this kind of person Worldly Uncontested is... worth befriending!
