Chapter 328: Pre-Season
Kong Xuyang wakes up from a nightmare, sitting up in a cold sweat, his hands and feet shaking.
The dream was that challenge fight with the deer hunter.
It was the height of his popularity, when he was number one in the pre-season tournament, and the rumored greatest tactician of all time was losing ground under him, trying in vain and pain to protect those around him.
But both in reality and in the game, this punk named Against the Gods couldn't protect anything, a cowardly punk, and somehow got that false reputation of being the greatest tactician of all time.
A moderate tactician? Moderate in this game, asshole.
Kong Xuyang scoffed disdainfully.
Until the last moment, that tactician called Against the Gods, as if he had suddenly realized something, the smile on his face ceased, and the gentle shell was removed, revealing the bloody and brutal inner layer.
The god of inversion only used punches and kicks to make Kong Xuyang crawl on the ground, and finally spit out blood and passively disarmed his skills.
After disarming the skill, Adversary held up his heavy sword and plunged it into his heart, his always-smiling face splattered with blood spots, as he whispered in Kong Xuyang's ear in an icy tone of prophecy:
"One day, no matter how vilely you struggle, you will die at the hands of the cruelest and best tactician in the world."
That is Kong Xuyang's nightmare to this day.
Since then, he had a hidden fear of jealousy and enmity towards all outstanding tacticians, wishing to kill all tacticians, including the Adversary God who had once trampled him underfoot!
Kong Xuyang scratched his face, got up from the bed where three or four naked women were lying, and approved a robe to go straight to the balcony.
He squinted at the sunrise overlooking the idyllic villa neighborhood he had just recently moved into.
The people who live here are said to be either rich or wealthy, and it is not a place for a second-year college student like Kong Xuyang, who has been squatting at home for six or seven years after graduation and has never held a job for three months.
Kong Xuyang , male, thirty-one years old, currently has two peaks in his life, one is getting into a second university twelve years ago, and the other is entering the game three years ago.
Twelve years ago, Kong Xuyang was one of the few college students in the area. Although he was only a second-year student, as the first college student in his family, Kong Xuyang enjoyed enough praise and preferential treatment from his parents and relatives, and everyone would say that when you go to college, you will have everything.
Beautiful women, human status and tons of money are waiting for you in the future.
But once in college, Kong Xuyang was instantly knocked back to his former self.
Kong Xuyang's university is only a two-book university, but there is news that it will be upgraded to a one-book university in the near future, so when he went in, the whole class had a unified feature, that is, there are a lot of connections.
These relations are heard the news was temporarily stuffed in, their living culture, entertainment consumption level and Kong Xuyang this small county out of the world like an insurmountable gap.
Kong Xuyang immediately saw beautiful women, human status and a lot of money.
Only none of this had anything to do with him.
When his roommate's bed was full of over 2,000 pairs of shoes, Kong Xuyang didn't even dare to put his own 100 pairs of shoes on his feet.
Kong Xuyang needs to wait for these people to leave the dormitory before he can bear the shame of taking his hidden shoes out of the closet and putting them on, as well as tearing off the logo.
He began to ask his parents for money in large quantities for all sorts of reasons, buying designer belts, shoes, giving small cans of tea, and the price of a single item went from over a hundred to over a thousand.
Kong Xuyang tried with all his might to fit in with these people, but the other side still looked at him and the things in his hands with a kind of contemptuous look that was neither a smile nor a laugh.
He drained his parents, but when he finally graduated, there was no one willing to let Kong Xuyang sign his yearbook.
Those who read in good faith think he's vain and don't associate with him, while most of those who Kong Xuyang pursues treat him as a joke.
After graduation, Kong Xuyang found a lot of jobs, many of which his parents thought were good and begged his parents to let him try.
But as long as Kong Xuyang thinks about how shitty these jobs are in the eyes of his classmates, and how saving up his salary for a few months won't cover the cost of a banquet for these people, he's immersed in an indescribable sense of resentment.
Why should these people be able to enjoy these things and he can't?
It was clear that he was the one who should have had a bright future since the high school entrance exam!
Kong Xuyang keeps changing jobs, his demands are getting higher and higher, his spending is getting higher and higher, and the number of organizations that reject him is getting higher and higher.
Eventually he couldn't find a job and preferred to stay at home rather than go out and do what he felt was inferior, lowly, work just to make ends meet.
Kong Xuyang stays at home, watching the lives of those rich people on the internet every day, cursing each other with the most vicious words in spite of them, and morbidly going through all the details of their lives posted on the internet, substituting for himself.
When you see a good-looking girl, you make vicious comments about how the other girl has been fucked many times and has long since been a hack, and when you see a very successful male, you bust out on the other guy and tell him that he must have a background and that he's not getting to the top inappropriately.
Kong Xuyang hated the huge gulf between [Man on Top] and him.
He even began to resent why his parents weren't powerful people like those people's families, why he was born into such a family that couldn't even afford to sell a pair of 10,000+ shoes or go to an NBA front row game or fling a 100,000+ Sri Lankan sapphire ring at random to pick up chicks.
This conflict reaches its peak when Kong Xuyang's father slaps him across the face, red-faced, and tells him to get out of work.
It's clearly his parents' fault, but he's blaming himself for his lack of talent.
Kong Xuyang almost viciously put down the word that does not require to ask him to go back.
Someday, someday ...... he will surely become [a human being].
Although there is no basis for this obsession, after all, Kong Xuyang, as an ordinary person, the most praiseworthy achievement in his life is to go to a second university, but he has a strong sense of self-confidence - I am so noble, as long as I give up something, success will naturally come, you will all come to prostrate at my feet! The first thing I'd like to do is to get out of the way and get out of the way.
I didn't make it just because of the unfairness of this society, I didn't make it just because my parents didn't come from the right place, I didn't make it just because ......
Anyway it's not my own problem.
This intense desire led Kong Xuyang to log on to the game, and he fell into a kind of rightful ecstasy - see, he knew this day would come!
He really is just extraordinary!
But soon he saw the highly sought-after star players, the powerful big guilds, and everything that was better and stronger than him, Kong Xuyang immediately fell into a new round of resentment - why the unfairness against him existed everywhere.
The ladder belonging to [Man on Top] was already in front of him, but these star players who oppressed him, the big guilds that oppressed him, everything that oppressed him, Kong Xuyang decided to topple by any means necessary.
But there was indeed a moat between him and these things.
Kong Xuyang quickly found an entry point and decided to start with the reality of these people.
Kong Xuyang found a player whose skill was [Paparazzi], and then he surrounded the reality of these star players with resentment-
--Cars and horses, beautiful women, everything.
Just like the connected classmates before him, all of them deserve to die for oppressing him and letting him languish and harbor a class of human beings for so long!
Kong Xuyang has colluded with some speedsters who have strayed from the edge of the law to attack his rival warband.
His methods worked, and Kong Xuyang stepped over the howls and carcasses of his oppressors, delighting in being first in the preseason.
Just when Kong Xuyang felt himself drifting around feeling like he was the center of the world, the protagonist of a novel, and that everything had been paved for his moment of triumph, he folded at the hands of the Reverse God.
The second time, Kong Xuyang tried the same trick on Heart in a crucial match to determine if he would be eliminated from the Mid-Season Tournament, trying to find the woman in reality and then have the speedsters gang rape Heart to affect Heart's pre-game mindset.
Of course he knows it's not good, so Kong Xuyang gave Heart a chance, that is, on the eve of the match, Kong Xuyang went to the King's Duke to meet with Heart once, and mercifully said, "Empress, if you're willing to be my woman, I won't use my tactics, but respect you, and fight with you openly and honestly for once.
I respect my women, Kong Xuyang emphasized ambiguously-- Heart, you won't lose out if you follow me. In reality, my parents begged me to go back after I got rich and found me a lot of women to match with, but none of them were good enough for me, so I usually only went to bed with them, but they always liked to pester me more. They always like to pester me more.
Kong Xuyang waved his hand impatiently and self-satisfiedly, very annoying, is not aware that he is not worthy of me?
Then he turns the conversation around and looks to Heart and politely states - if it's you, Heart, I'm okay with taking it as far as talking about marriage with you.
Heart smiled and said, "Well, let's see if you can find me in reality.
Kong Xuyang made a mistake.
The [Paparazzi] skill, for some reason, was actually ineffective against Heart, and they couldn't find the coordinates of [Heart]'s reality!
The next day's match was a tough loss for Kong Xuyang, who was beaten by Heart and dropped out of the mid-season tournament.
Having lost both times to a tactician, himself a tactician, and the prophecy of the Counter God, Kong Xuyang's disgust and jealousy of Bai Liu, a new and notorious tactician, was now at an all-time high.
Clearly he should be the one in the spotlight as the tactician.
If this was a novel, then he, a quality tactician who got first place in his first league game, he should be the novel's protagonist and the world should revolve around him.
Who is this Bai Liu? He's just a clown who climbed up from the bottom of the ladder, he's not worthy of stealing his thunder, is he?
Kong Xuyang's eyes were dark, he must find the coordinates of the person Bai Liu was close to in reality, and then torment the other party ruthlessly.
