First Place in the Third Company
The huge, Multi-purpose Venue was bustling with noise, and the temperature seemed to have risen a few degrees.
Among the crowd, some students were crying their hearts out, while many others looked radiant.
Lu Bai stood up from the stool in the corner and slowly exhaled.
Even without actively observing, he could feel the gazes directed at him from all around.
With his consecutive first-place finishes now public, it's highly unlikely he can continue to remain a nobody.
As soon as this round of Deathmatch Showdown ended, many people immediately focused their attention on him.
After all, the first three rounds of Deathmatch Showdown between these students were already over.
A significant number of students can only return to ordinary lives; those qualified to become Formal Deathmatch Participant are ultimately a minority.
Of course, during the first three rounds of Deathmatch Showdown, these students were all aware of whether they were capable of becoming official deathmatch fighters.
To be honest, most people's emotional fluctuations weren't particularly intense; feelings of regret and disappointment had already been largely released in the first two rounds.
Just like after an exam, top students and poor students usually don't pay much attention to their grades; only those who are mediocre or average are anxious.
Those students who buried their heads in their hands and cried belonged to this mediocre type.
So instead of dwelling on established facts, it's better to focus on the achievements of geniuses.
Whether Lu Bai suffers a crushing defeat or advances further in this round, it will largely satisfy everyone's curiosity and desire for a good show.
Moreover, not only the students around him, but even the faculty members on the podium were looking at him with undisguised anticipation.
"Student Lu Bai ..."
A faculty member with a tablet computer was in charge of this area and was quite observant; the first person he asked was Lu Bai.
The faculty members' attitude was so mild it bordered on obsequious. Regardless of Lu Bai's performance in the third round, his first-place finish in two consecutive rounds had already sealed his fate as a true fighter.
Lu Bai didn't waste any time and gave the answer by referring to the System Panel.
"Deathmatch Arena ID 87****4328, ranked first."
"..."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The surrounding chatter completely disappeared.
Silence.
Silence.
A deathly silence!
It was so quiet you could almost hear your heart pounding.
The numerous counselors on the platform all stood up, their faces showing unprecedented shock.
The faculty member immediately felt uneasy, and his voice trembled as he asked, "Lu... Lu Bai, could you please say that again?"
It's no wonder they reacted so dramatically; the result was simply too incredible.
While rare in Shelter No. 9's history, two first-place finishes are not unheard of.
To be number one for three consecutive rounds is simply unheard of.
It's important to understand that the randomness of Deathmatch Showdown means its outcome is unpredictable.
Even winning first place once requires exceptional personal qualities and a great deal of luck.
What does it mean to be number one for three consecutive rounds?
At least Liang Fuzhong couldn't understand it at all, and could only notify the principal immediately.
The Multi-purpose Venue erupted in uproar, with many students even suspecting that Lu Bai was talking nonsense.
In order not to affect the subsequent questioning of other students, after obtaining Liang Fuzhong's approval, the faculty members led Lu Bai to a quiet meeting room and indicated that he should wait a while, as the principal would come to see him in person.
Before leaving, I patiently explained things to him, afraid that I might have done something to upset him.
Lu Bai was happy to have some free time, finally able to check on the results of this round of Deathmatch Showdown.
[Personal Interface:]
[Username: Rename26LB (Please change immediately)]
[Main Title: Innocent Smile (Two Star)] (Click to view available titles)
[Subtitles: Frenzied Slaughter (4-star), Ultimate Murderer (4-star)]
[Talent: 38.4 + 65.4 (1 point can be converted into 0.1 talent, currently in the process of conversion, estimated time: seven days)]
[Abilities: Flash Time, Ink Dye (Click to select)]
[Comment: The fledgling has grown wings and is ready to soar into the sky.]
First, I clicked on the title section, and sure enough, three more titles appeared.
[Because He Is Good (One Star): Slightly increases others' favorability towards the owner.] (Top ten reward, generated based on the player's style of action in Deathmatch Showdown, can be equipped)
[Black Snake Is Also Dragon (3-Star): Increases confidence to a certain extent.] (Reward for ranking first, randomly drawn from the pool of titles below 3-star, can be worn)
[Slay Heaven Destroy Earth (3 stars): Greatly increases killing intent, even causing hallucinations of a sea of blood.] (Hidden title, obtained by scoring 500 points or more in a single match, can be equipped)
Leaving aside the first two, they are basically just two materials for upgrading stars.
On the contrary, this was the first time Lu Bai had ever seen the hidden title. He had never seen the method to obtain this hidden title on the Deathmatch Participant Forum.
After watching for a while, he combined [Black Snake Is Also Dragon] with [Slay Heaven Destroy Earth], raising the star rating of the [Slay Heaven Destroy Earth] title to four stars.
However, he did not choose to wear it immediately, mainly because he was not sure if the effects of this title could be stacked like the previous two hidden titles.
I'll just keep the titles [Because He Is Good (One Star)] and [Slay Heaven Destroy Earth (Four Stars)] for now.
The title is there anyway, it won't disappear. I've learned my lesson about titles before, so it's better to play it safe and wait until I figure things out before equipping it.
As for the remaining ability choices, there's not much to say.
Without hesitation, Lu Bai chose to [load the save].
As expected, the save was successful, but the Deathmatch System still couldn't recognize the [load] option.
The display for the "Abilities" section immediately changed to --
[Abilities:?, Flash Time, Ink Dye]
After sorting out his gains, Lu Bai was about to exit the System Panel when he inadvertently glanced at the username field.
Please revise immediately?
He unconsciously smiled, almost forgetting about it.
Click~
At the same time, a crisp, skillful click rang out.
The conference room door was gently pushed open, and Pu Xueli stepped in. His snow-white hair was meticulously styled, and he still exuded an air of grandeur.
He looked at Lu Bai and nodded approvingly.
"Congratulations to Lu Bai on winning first place once again!"
Lu Bai was taken aback.
Because the moment Pu Xueli entered the room, a line of familiar small print appeared before his eyes.
[Data file detected, read now?]
It was clearly inappropriate to stand still for a moment, so he quickly snapped out of it and said, "Thank you."
"I'm pretty sure you can become one of the top deathmatchers."
Pu Xueli didn't notice anything unusual. He sat down in front of Lu Bai, and his tone suddenly became serious.
"But have you ever wondered why we give deathmatchers such a high social status?"
