Chapter 36 One Consecutive Losses
"Hey, your fighting style is pretty unique. Do you perhaps build up energy by getting hit?"
Lu Chao became slightly interested.
The opponent in front of me is well-equipped, seemingly with a backpack and accessories, so he shouldn't have such a bad record. It's obviously intentional. I just don't know why he's letting me win twelve rounds in a row.
"Newbie, stop talking nonsense and just hit me!"
"Short in stature, but big in temper! But I, Lu... Zhao Qunzi, have made my way in the world through genuine talent and skill. Why should you yield to me?"
"You've lost sixty times in a row, and you actually have real skills? You talk like you can win."
"How about I give you a hundred rounds' worth of advantage?"
"You're such a weirdo!"
Lu Chao remained silent. He stood still, pretending to be disconnected, clearly indicating that if you wanted to fight, then fight; if not, then just wait it out.
Anyway, he won't use his sword, even if the turn times out.
"Holy crap, I've really run into a ghost today! Zhao Qunzi, I'll remember your name! Oh well, I'm not at a loss even if I beat you!"
Sword Saint Song Shu gritted his teeth in hatred. At this moment, Lu Chaoding's turn had exceeded the time limit. Song Shu took out two short daggers from his waist, one in each hand, and ran up to Lu Chaoding. He stabbed Lu Chaoding in the kidneys. After finishing, he jumped away and took out nunchucks from his waist. He struck Lu Chaoding on the forehead with one of the nunchucks.
Lu Chao's vision went black.
They were defeated in seconds!
"A dagger is a pair of swords? Nunchucks are for additional damage?"
Lu Chao's consciousness returned to his body, and he thought to himself that Song Shu was really pretending to be weak while actually being strong. Even though he was only wearing beginner clothes, he had 1200 health points and two points of resilience. Song Shu was able to kill him in one hit, which meant that his output was extremely high.
This guy has such a terrible record; I wonder what he's up to.
"This Sword Saint Song Shu, and the Sword God Li Feiyu I encountered at the beginning, are both considered powerful players. If I were to fight them fully armed, the outcome would be uncertain. After all, my weakness is quite obvious: I'm too fragile. If I can't kill someone in one hit, I might get killed myself. So... I, a dignified Sword Immortal, am an assassin!"
Lu Chaoding pondered silently, increasingly feeling the importance of the talent skill [Master of Escape]. From an assassin's perspective, regardless of the outcome after a single strike, one must immediately retreat to ensure their own safety. Therefore, [Master of Escape], which allows one to escape from combat, is indispensable.
"To unlock the [Master of Escape] title, cultivation level isn't the problem, but I'm still missing nine Sword Immortal certificates. These certificates are hard to come by, and I don't know if there's a stable way to obtain them..."
Lu Chaoding shook his head and continued the matchmaking duel. Ten minutes later, the match was successful. After entering the battle scene, Lu Chaoding was stunned. His opponent was none other than the Sword Saint Song Shu.
Song Shu's defeat has increased by one, which means he was killed in a sword duel with other players just now.
"Come on, let me give you..."
Sword Saint Song Shu shouted loudly first, but when he saw that his opponent was Lu Chaoding, his face immediately darkened.
Lu Chao immediately retorted, "Come on, I'll give you twelve rounds. If you don't kill me, I'll kill you!"
"You stole my lines!"
"How about I give you thirty rounds?"
"You can't even withstand one of my attacks, yet you're still spouting nonsense!"
"Then I won't say anything!"
Lu Chao put his hands behind his back and went offline again. His turn timed out very quickly.
Sword Saint Song Shu was furious. He stomped his foot, a helpless expression on his face, and said, "Dude, are you trying to get a negative win rate? What's the point? Is this fun? There are all sorts of weird players out there!"
After saying that, he launched an attack on Lu Chaoding, thrusting two daggers in and adding a nunchaku attack, and Lu Chaoding was instantly killed again.
Lu Chaoding quickly continued to match opponents, and a minute later, he met Sword Saint Song Shu again.
"Are you deliberately targeting me?"
Sword Saint Song Shu was extremely displeased when he saw Lu Chao standing, and immediately shouted loudly.
"It can only be said that we are evenly matched, which is why the system keeps bringing us together!"
Lu Chao chuckled. He estimated that among the online players, there probably weren't many with such terrible records as himself and Song Shu!
"Who can match you in chess?"
Song Shu stamped his foot and immediately equipped himself with the two small daggers.
Lu Chao remained silent, waiting for the round to time out.
Soon, Song Shu's turn began. He attacked Lu Chaoding directly, thrusting his dagger and striking with his nunchucks, instantly killing Lu Chaoding once again.
"Very good, not bad, let's do it again!"
Lu Chaoding continued to match opponents, but this time he waited a full fifteen minutes before entering the battle scene. His opponent was no longer Sword Saint Song Shu, but a female player who was only level five and had a record of 0 wins and 5 losses.
"Come on, I'll give you twelve rounds. If you don't kill me, I'll kill you!"
Lu Chaoding mimicked Song Shu and said something.
As expected, the female player really wanted to win this duel. When she defeated Lu Chaoding, she jumped up excitedly and thanked Lu Chaoding for giving her her first victory.
"I'm just that helpful!"
Lu Chao smiled. He hoped to encounter more players like this, where both sides could get what they wanted and everyone would be happy.
He continued the virtual sword duel, and five minutes later, he saw Sword Saint Song Shu again.
This time, Lu Chao didn't say anything and immediately pretended to disconnect as soon as he entered the game.
"Zhao Qunzi, you're truly a talent!"
Song Shu was helpless. He put on a stern face and killed Lu Chaoding with a single blow after the round began.
Later that night, until 9 PM, Lu Chaoding finally achieved a 100-game losing streak, and he had played a total of 11 matches against Sword Saint Song Shu.
All of Song Shu's victories were thanks to him.
"Finally, I've completed all the individual duel missions. A hundred consecutive losses, that was really tough! A hundred consecutive losses in a team match must be even harder!"
Lu Chaoding got up at this moment, no longer intending to continue participating in the team duel. He counted his gains and found that he had obtained 116 unreliable lottery tickets. He decided to go to the Destiny Platform to use up these 116 lottery tickets before going to fight the Night Beast.
When passing by the mountaintop campsite, Lu Chaoding saw Zhao Weike and others. They were gathered around the campfire, chatting and seemed to be having a good time.
Lu Chaoding had no intention of returning to the camp. He stepped on the Great Xuan Sword and went around to the side.
"Brother Ding, Brother Ding, wait for me!"
Zhang Defa spotted Lu Chaoding. He shouted and hurriedly ran out of the camp. He then ran more than a hundred meters in the night and caught up with Lu Chaoding.
Lu Chao glanced at him and asked, "What's up?"
Zhang Defa grinned and suddenly presented a small pile of gold coins to Lu Chaoding, saying, "Brother Ding, here are 322 gold coins. They came from the Glory Treasure Chest, and some I worked hard to get. They're all here for you!"
Lu Chao was taken aback and said, "You don't seem to owe me any money, do you?"
"I don't owe you anything. Keep it; consider it my advance payment!"
Zhang Defa winked at Lu Chaoding and gave him a knowing smile.
Lu Chao, quick-witted, immediately grasped the key point and laughed, "So, this is a bribe! You want me to go easy on you in tomorrow's sword duel!"
Zhang Defa slapped his thigh and said, "Brother Ding is absolutely brilliant! I was just wondering, if the Sword God's equipment appears in the duel, could Brother Ding give me a little preferential treatment?"
"It depends on the situation! You can take the gold coins. I, Lu Chaoding, am a man of principle. I will accept gold coins when I should, but I will resolutely refuse to accept them when I shouldn't."
After saying this, Lu Chao resolutely left, stepping on the Great Xuan Sword, leaving Zhang Defa bewildered in the night.
Half a minute later, Lu Chaoding looked back.
That's ridiculous. Do you think I'm someone who can be bought off with a mere few hundred gold coins?
The value of the rewards for the sword duel must be extremely high, so how could we possibly give them away so easily?
