Magic Farm 117

Chapter 117: He Really Pulled It Off.

So Dan Xingyu made the decision himself: “Then I’ll just call you ‘brother.’”

He added mischievously, “Can’t let the players from your region guess who you are at a glance—that would ruin the fun.”

Qi Yu asked, “And you?”

Dan Xingyu was completely double-standard at this moment: “Everyone in my region calls me ‘Second God.’ If you don’t mind how it sounds, you can call me that too.”

Qi Yu was puzzled. “Aren’t you afraid people will recognize you right away?”

The young man’s eyes sparkled with energy. “Not at all. Everyone in my livestream is my good son. If they recognize me, it’ll just make it easier for them to call me ‘Dad.’”

Qi Yu: ?

He didn’t understand, but decided to respect it.

[Attention, contestants. This round of ‘Speed Carnival’ is about to begin. Countdown: 5, 4, 3——]

Players who weren’t competing watched the livestream and chatted in the regional channel:

【Why am I nervous too? All the big shots from our region, good luck!】

【Haha, I’m more looking forward to the chaos. If anything goes, can we get a full-on brawl while driving?】

【Anyone have a recommended stream? I can’t recognize any of these people.】

【Just pick one that feels right for now. Once it starts, we’ll probably figure out who’s who.】

【Exactly, and if it’s matched by strength, does that mean all the top players are up against other region’s number ones?】

【Even though our top player is number one in combat power, their main job is farmer… I’m worried they’ll be at a disadvantage.】

【Did anyone see a stream with a cloaked boy? No idea which player from our region that is, but he looks like he walked out of a game model—ridiculously handsome, dressed all mysterious. Could he be one of the leaderboard big shots?】

【It’s starting!】

With a sharp whistle, countless bumper cars… adorably surged forward.

“This thing actually has a speed limit of forty kilometers an hour!” Dan Xingyu was speechless. “Are you kidding me? How can they call this Wild Racing?”

No joke, this arena was at least filled with the number one and two from each region, all with enhanced physical attributes. They could run faster than these cars themselves.

But clearly, this round didn’t allow you to get out and run, since the game had a reminder: “Please fasten your seatbelt.”

Even with the speed limit, Dan Xingyu wasn’t exaggerating—he really did have plenty of bumper car experience——just ask, he’d done every kind of part-time job there was.

Thanks to his practiced skills, the “Golden Lion”—the name he’d given their bumper car—was currently in the leading pack.

Dan Xingyu focused on driving, while Qi Yu sat in the passenger seat, with enough leisure to observe the others.

He noticed that not far from their Golden Lion was the golden-eyed man he’d been watching.

His partner was that enthusiastic player from District 108.

“Watch out!”

Suddenly, the bumper car made a sharp turn, drifting sideways.

“Hee hee…”

A pale figure crawled out from beneath their bumper car.

“What the hell is that?!”

“Not good, it’s an ambush!”

“……”

Curses erupted all around as strange creatures crawled out of the ground ahead—wild-haired ghosts, skeletal remains, and unidentified dark beings slithering across the ground.

Not everyone had Dan Xingyu’s bumper car skills. Some monsters appeared directly under the cars, which then ran right over them.

Qi Yu turned to look behind and to the left.

On a black cat-shaped car, a man with a bone necklace and a deathly pale face smiled faintly. “Black Forest Necromancer, greetings to all.”

【Holy crap, this stream just started and someone’s already going all out!】

【Necromancer—what a cool class.】

【This guy’s no ordinary player. If the cloaked guy is in the same arena as him, he must be strong too. I’m dying to know which big shot from our region he is.】

“Wow, the dark duo from District 677 and 448 used necromancy right at the start, successfully disrupting their opponents. Now, the dark duo is taking the lead in this arena,” the commentator’s voice rang out.

“So quick to make a move.” Dan Xingyu grinned. “Our necromancer opponent is a bit impatient.”

Many teams, including theirs, were quietly observing.

After all, now that everyone knew the matchmaking mechanism, they understood none of their opponents would be easy.

This necromancer had shattered the calm, and his summoned creatures were still on the field—some had even crawled up onto other players’ cars.

【Crap, I’m terrified of ghosts! If it were me, I’d already be dead.】

【Wake up, that’s why we’re watching the stream and the pros are on the field.】

Qi Yu watched as the other players dealt with the threat—some drew small sword-like items to slay the undead, others simply punched the skeletons to pieces.

He noticed the golden-eyed man did nothing at all—he just glanced at the undead in front of his car, and it immediately turned and lunged at another racer.

Mental control? Or some other power?

【Wow, those undead only caused a minor disruption. No wonder the survival game’s matchmaking is so balanced.】

Qi Yu looked around and was dissatisfied with their team’s current ranking.

He said, “Second God, step on it. Let’s speed up.”

Dan Xingyu understood instantly. “OK!”

Qi Yu didn’t take out his staff, but murmured a few words under his breath, magic surging.

A faint blue glow appeared around the Golden Lion, and the slow bumper car suddenly shot forward like an arrow, leaving everyone else behind in an instant.

“What the hell was that?”

“Is that a speed boost item? No, does that team have a mage?”

【Wait, is our region’s cloaked guy a mage?】

Since the livestream included in-game voice, players from District 01 could clearly tell it was Qi Yu’s doing.

【I haven’t seen any leaderboard big shot with a mage class. By rights, this class shouldn’t be weak.】

If the players in District 01 were just watching for fun,

then over in District 88, the viewers were exploding.

【Did I just hear that right? Did the teammate just call him ‘Second God’?】

【Unless there’s someone else in survival game with the nickname ‘Second God’…】

【Wake up, our stream only shows players from our own region. In District 88, the only ‘Second God’ is him, who else could it be?】

【Their opponents have a necromancer, their teammate’s a mage—fits Second God’s ranking perfectly.】

【Damn, Second God is actually this handsome? I admit, even I have to bow to that face.】

【What the hell, am I the only one who’s losing it? Out of tens of thousands in our region, did we really lose to a kid?】

“Let’s take a look—the Game of the Gods team from District 01 and District 88 used wind magic to greatly boost their car’s speed. At this moment, the Game of the Gods team is far in the lead!” The host’s excited voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

The moment “District 01” was mentioned, nearly everyone on the field locked their eyes onto the Golden Lion.

The viewers might not know, but the players in the arena were well aware: they were all either number one or two in their own regions.

Given the arena matched players by ranking, that meant… one of the two in the lion car was very likely “I Love Survival Game.”

I Love Survival Game!

How many number ones had gnashed their teeth at that ID, while burning with curiosity?

At first, they’d just been curious about the ID that kept popping up in the server-wide announcements, but after the reputation leaderboard appeared, all the top players in every region started sweating.

Before, everyone played their own game, with no communication between regions—no one knew how the others were progressing.

But suddenly, the survival game told you: you’re both number one, but this guy is way ahead, leading the entire server to reap the benefits.

Whether as a joke or behind-the-back grumbling, no leaderboard number one could take it lightly.

Lately, all the top players in every region, whether willingly or not, had been grinding harder than ever.

And now…

You’re telling me the culprit might be right here!

Well, that’s all there is to it. It doesn’t matter if I get first place in this event, but I Love Survival Game absolutely cannot win.

As always, the first to act was the impatient necromancer.

He closed his eyes, chanting under his breath. Black mist swirled ahead, and within it, a towering black figure blocked the Golden Lion’s path.

An elite undead—Headless Horseman!

【No wonder he’s Second God’s rival. That pressure is unreal.】

Suddenly, the players from District 88 caught on:

【This arena is matched by ranking. Second God is our District 88 number one, so his teammate from District 01…】

【No way, is that the legendary simp god, I Love Survival Game?】

【Damn, I Love Survival Game is actually such a young, handsome guy?】

【Did they pick teammates based on looks?】

“I’ll handle this,” Dan Xingyu said, not the slightest change in his expression as he saw the giant figure ahead.

Qi Yu had been about to take out his staff, but hearing this, he withdrew his hand and nodded. “Alright.”

The Golden Lion drew closer and closer to the massive Headless Horseman, who had already raised his sword high and was bringing it down with a vicious swing.

Qi Yu made no move. Since he’d just chosen to trust his teammate, he left everything to Shen Ben Wu Xiang.

Clang!

The Headless Horseman’s greatsword was blocked by a black longsword that had appeared out of nowhere.

Red flames erupted from the black sword, racing along the blade and engulfing the Headless Horseman.

Without sparing a glance at the undead’s anguished wail, Dan Xingyu flipped his wrist and tossed the longsword skyward——

A massive shadow loomed overhead.

The black sword, ablaze with crimson fire, transformed into a giant blade that nearly blotted out half the sky, crashing straight down toward the necromancer’s team.

“Enough is enough, huh?” Dan Xingyu sneered coldly. “If you can’t hold back, then go home and watch the stream.”

Boom!

A huge shockwave sent all the nearby bumper cars flying.

[Detected: Dark Duo’s car is 90% damaged. If not restored to at least 60% integrity within one minute, elimination will occur.]

The two who’d just bailed out of their car: “……”

That thing was already flattened into a pile of junk—how were they supposed to fix it?

[Dark Duo, eliminated.]

The black giant sword turned into a streak of light and flew back to Dan Xingyu’s side.

The coldness between his brows vanished as if it had never been, and he turned, grinning brightly at his teammate. “So, bro, how was that move? Was I cool or what?”

Like a kid begging for praise.

Qi Yu nodded earnestly. “Very cool.”

He liked it.

【…Damn it, showing off on a server-wide livestream. That brat Second God really pulled it off!】
