Why Was the Dog Barking?

An ordinary-looking stranger stopped Shen Hui.

Moreover, his words were particularly harsh and loud.

It immediately drew the attention of everyone around.

Based on the information Ye Long had given Shen Hui, the other party's purpose in stopping Shen Hui was self-evident.

Shen Hui raised an eyebrow slightly, but Ye Long spoke first:

"Do we know you? Who are you? Watch your mouth."

"Ye Long, don't cause trouble for the family."

Upon hearing the voice, Ye Long's expression instantly turned sour. He turned around and saw his cousin, Ye Ying, walking out from the crowd behind him.

Ye Long wanted to say something, but Shen Hui stopped him.

"Fine."

Having said that, Shen Hui turned his gaze to the person in front of him and asked without any emotion:

"What, who sent you here? Just because you said so?"

The other person chuckled.

"It doesn't matter who made the call; I think you've already heard rumors."

"As for whether it's up to me, well, let's put it this way Shen Hui."

"You may be talented, you may be capable, you are very strong in your class, even among the top."

"The things you did before also gave you notoriety."

"But who among those who have entered the Starry Sky Leaderboard is weak? We should approach them with reverence."

"Of course, I'm not considered strong in the Starry Sky Leaderboard. My name is Wang Jie, and I'm only at the bottom of the fourth tier."

"But compared to you newcomers, the difference of just one year is beyond your imagination."

Shen Hui chuckled, his expression full of boredom.

However, from the other party's perspective, it seemed as if Shen Hui was afraid.

When those around heard this, the previous rumors were confirmed.

People started discussing it.

"This is absolutely brilliant; Shen Hui was definitely being targeted."

"That's only natural; I'm indifferent to him anyway."

"Don't say that. After all, we're in the same year. What if you were the one being targeted?"

"Then you're going to help him? You won't, will you? Then shut up."

"But how can the other side deal with Shen Hui? In this Starry Sky Leaderboard, you can't just act recklessly."

"Who cares? Let's just watch the show."

Most of the people around Shen Hui looked at him with amusement.

Even though Shen Hui had saved some of them during the events in the Nascent World,

But it brought them even more fear.

Therefore, subconsciously, he felt fear towards Shen Hui and naturally had no liking for him.

Wang Jie, standing in front of Shen Hui, chuckled, seemingly pleased with the feedback from those around him and from Shen Hui.

"I'm not targeting you personally. Even without me, there are others, and everything is within the rules of the Starry Sky Leaderboard."

"Because I'm at the bottom of the fourth tier, I can easily drop my ranking to the fifth tier."

"People at the same stage can challenge each other, I think you know that too."

"But I don't think it's necessary to go through all that trouble. If I fall, I won't be able to rise up in a short time, and the reward I receive will naturally be less."

"So I'm thinking of discussing this with you. If you withdraw from the Starry Sky Leaderboard, there's no need for me to fall down."

"When I collect the reward that was for you, I can share a portion with you."

"Look, this is a win-win situation; otherwise, you would have nothing."

"Of course, you don't need to thank me. I can only say that I'm a good person."

Now everyone knew what the other side was planning.

The idea is to let your ranking drop reasonably so you can challenge Shen Hui and steal his points.

Although there is a limit to the number of challenges, by using them in combination, it is possible to reduce the score to zero or keep the ranking unchanged.

This is clearly inappropriate for someone with a high ranking.

After all, the rewards for a high ranking on the Starry Sky Leaderboard are very good.

Those of the same social class as Shen Hui are likely to be no match for him.

It would be best to place it on someone at the end of the fourth stage.

Moreover, Shen Hui has no special background or connections.

It's fair to say that all of this was planned long ago.

Moreover, the other party's act of pretending to be a good person at the end was disgusting.

Before Shen Hui could even get angry, Ye Long was already starting to lose his temper.

But Shen Hui stopped him again. "Don't rush, don't you find it fun to hear dogs barking?"

A casual remark surprised everyone around him.

Why is Shen Hui still so calm?

If it were them, they would probably be furious.

Having finally made it onto the Starry Sky Leaderboard, I'm now being targeted and might be eliminated.

They'd already started swearing and cursing.

Although Shen Hui's words sounded like he was swearing...

However, compared to normal cursing, it seems to lack that sense of exasperation.

Wang Jie, who was opposite Shen Hui, was ignited by Shen Hui's words and exploded.

He had said so much, even promising to give Shen Hui some resources later.

As a result, they were treated like dogs and barked at; they simply didn't appreciate my kindness!

If it weren't for the fact that we're on the Starry Sky Leaderboard, we would have already taken action.

"Heh, alright, Shen Hui, you're awesome. Let's see how long you can keep up this act. Just you wait and see if you dare to get even one point!"

Shen Hui's expression remained calm, even with a slight smile. He gestured with his hand and made a sound:

"Tsk tsk tsk." (Sound of teasing a dog)

Wang Jie was so enraged by Shen Hui's actions that he was furious.

Many people around were also trying not to laugh.

The main issue is the stark contrast between what Wang Jie said and Shen Hui's reaction.

"Wait!"

Finally, Wang Jie dropped out of the Starry Sky Leaderboard after saying just one last thing.

Otherwise, if I continue talking to Shen Hui, I'll really get so angry I'll die.

The people around dispersed.

However, they felt that Shen Hui's act of treating the other party like a dog was a way of venting his anger.

That's too irrational; it's just empty talk that won't bring any benefit and will only make things worse for you.

If it were them, they might have agreed to what Wang Jie suggested.

At least I can acquire some resources.

At this moment, Zhuge Hongjing and Bai Fan walked towards Shen Hui.

"Shen Hui, I didn't expect you to encounter something like this as soon as you arrived, but just now, beautiful!"

"That guy named Wang Jie is a bit too arrogant."

Zhuge Hongjing spoke.

Bai Fan then suggested:

"Shen Hui, I think you should stay away from the Starry Sky Battlefield and any missions for the time being."

"As long as your score is zero and hasn't changed, no one can challenge you."

"And if we're eliminated in this situation, we'll have to go at least a month later."

"You can use this time to improve your skills and make a final push before the deadline to improve your ranking and avoid elimination."

Even if that guy named Wang Jie is targeting you, aren't you still stronger?

Ye Long nodded. "Yes, that's one way, but it's a bit difficult to improve the ranking in the last few days when you're almost a month behind."

"However, I can control my ranking to be at the bottom, so I can cooperate with you then."

Shen Hui smiled slightly, "Thank you for the suggestion, but there's no need."

Everyone is still determined to work hard to increase their points so they can achieve a good ranking when the rewards are distributed.
