Shen Gongpao: Shit! Shit! Shit! In addition to this round, I’ve already beaten all of you 32 times! 🤮

　　Shen Gongpao: Tell me, how many days has it been? You guys made no progress at all! You guys are deities but even kids from primary school are better at this game than you are! Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”

　　Tang Sanzang: But the primary school kids back on earth play very well.

　　Shen Gongpao: Hah! You are one to talk! You were the one leading them! Are you guys the Calabash Brothers? Are you all going to rescue grandpa? Going in like that, even kids from a kindergarten can beat you!

　　Zhu Bajie: God Shen, you cannot judge a whole group of people based on just a few! I have never done that!

　　Shen Gongpao: Yes! You’ve never done that! Your base was about to be torn down but you still hid in the grass along the river! What the hell were you doing? Waiting to see an elf take a bath?”

　　Third Prince: Zhu Bajie! I’ve already sent a message for you to join but you didn’t come! See, now, we’re getting scolded.

　　Shen Gongpao: Some people! If you don’t know how to play Guan Yu, then you shouldn’t play at all! Are you here to perform some circus acts, or are you trying to revisit the time you spent as a horse? 🙄

　　Third Prince: 😶

　　Shen Gongpao: And you, Sha Wujing! I’m already at level three but you’ve only just left the base! Do you really need that long to buy a piece of equipment? Are you bargaining with the shopkeeper?

　　Curtain Rolling General: Don’t just talk about us! If you dare, then talk about Monkey King!

　　Shen Gongpao: I was just about to do that! Monkey King! My Little Luban was killed by a group of enemies and you are still farming in the jungle? Why didn’t you come and help me?! What a traitor!

　　Monkey King: Hmph! I don’t want to help you! So? If you’re not happy with that, then let’s fight!

　　Shen Gongpao: I… What terrible luck I have to be matched with a group of noobs as my teammates!

　　Li Bai: God Shen, don’t be angry! Come join me!

　　Shen Gongpao: You? Go away! It’s not like I’ve never played with you before! You didn’t even kill anyone in a 40-minute game! Are you a Buddhist? You don’t kill?

　　Little Qiao: God Shen, come and join me then. My skills have improved!

　　Shen Gongpao: You?! Explain this to me then, why did you buy six pairs of boots?

　　Little Qiao: That’s very simple! Which girl doesn’t like to have as many shoes as possible? 😁

　　Shen Gongpao: Oh, please don’t try to pull me into your team! I want to die! 🤮

　　Little Qiao: Is being alive not good? 😭

　　Shen Gongpao: I beg you guys… please put in some effort! Chen Xiaobei’s gaming level is actually pretty normal. As long as everyone works hard to practice, we can beat him! Please don’t do anything stupid anymore!

　　“Pfffttt! Wahahaha!” When Chen Xiaobei read the chat, he burst into laughter. “Man, this is hilarious! Is Sheng Gongpao getting obsessed with the game? Looking at his current condition, he probably has no time to care about the merit points ledger! Let me find someone from the group to test him!”

　　Chen Xiaobei then went to the Little Apple Playground group and looked for Grandma Rong, asking her to pretend to inquire about the merit points.

　　Very quickly, Grandma Rong replied Chen Xiaobei’s message – the ledger was still with Shen Gongpao.

　　“It looks like even though Shen Gongpao was addicted to the game, he was still able to find time to manage the merit points ledger! Prying himself away from the ledger would have to wait until the day of the competition! That’d be good too! Saving Diao Chan while Shen Gongpao is busy with the competition! There’s a high chance that could work! Mm, that’s it then. Let Shen Gongpao focus on practicing for the game for now, and then make a move on the day of the competition.

　　Once he had everything planned out, Chen Xiaobei was no longer worried about this problem.

　　He took at the look at the time, and it was almost day. Chen Xiaobei took the Somersault Cloud and flew right to the Divine Cloud’s Capital City.

　　In the Northern Wilderness’s temple.

　　Chen Xiaobei arrived at the break of dawn, and the Overlord was already expecting him.

　　In the grand hall, there was the Overlord, all alone and seated on high, looking down. “You did very well! Much better than I thought!”

　　“You’re flatter me, my lord! Please tell me the second test!”

　　Chen Xiaobei could not be bothered with the formalities and jumped straight to the point.

　　“There’s no hurry!” The Overlord said. “I want to know – how did you find out the location of the hostage? Except for myself and the core members of the Tie family, no one else knows about it!”

　　Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “If I told you that I planted a spy in the Tie Family, would you believe it?”

　　“How is that possible?” The Overlord gasped. “Didn’t you come to Northern Wilderness Starfield alone? Who would help you with such a dangerous task?”

　　“Since you asked, I will just tell you the truth!” Chen Xiaobei said. “Actually, I have a friend from a higher-ranking starfield! He was the one who sent people to Northern Wilderness Starfield to help me!”

　　“You know someone from a higher-ranking starfield? I don’t believe it!” The Overlord shook his head.

　　“Think about Atlantis, and then think about the disappearing Demonic Beasts!” Chen Xiaobei said. “Without help from my friend from a higher starfield, I surely couldn’t have done it, not alone!”

　　“Is… Is that true?” The Overlord asked suspiciously. “Since you already have a friend from a higher-ranking starfield, then why do you want to take over South Town Star Temple? What is your intention? Are you hoping to attack Northern Wilderness by working with outsiders?”

　　“My lord, you worry too much!” Chen Xiaobei said. “I want to takeover the South Town Star Temple for my friends and family’s sake! I want to move them away from earth! On top of that, you’ve already put a curse on me. If I betray you, I will die a terrible death, and my friends and family will suffer the same fate!”

　　“That’s true.” The Overlord nodded.

　　After all, the Overlord himself was the one who had laid the curse. If Chen Xiaobei even displayed the slightest hint of disloyalty, he would be wiped out immediately.

　　As long as he had Chen Xiaobei’s life in his hand, and even if Chen Xiaobei had friends from higher-ranking starfields, the Northern Wilderness Overlord would have nothing to fear.

　　With that assurance, the Overlord nodded. “Having your fiends help you is considered a good thing! After all, the, one person won’t be able to manage the entire South Town Star Temple alone. You must have your own confidantes and forces!”

　　“Can you tell me the next test now?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

　　“Of course!” The Overlord nodded. “Altalntis was ruined, and the biggest loss was not the city, but the portal in the center of the city! The second test I’m giving you is to go and fix the portal!”
