“There’s really nothing to discuss?” The Fourth Spider Spirit Sister asked.
“Nothing to discuss. I get paid per head, and you’re my bounty.” Li Xunsi shook her head.
“Then… could we change the location? It’s my first time. Even if I lose, I want to lose somewhere a bit cleaner.” Fourth Spider Spirit Sister said.
“Fine.” Li Xunsi nodded in agreement.
Fourth Spider Spirit Sister turned her back, exposing a weakness that seemed like a black hole, drawing Li Xunsi in.
But Li Xunsi had her principles.
Since they’d agreed to change places, she wouldn’t attack by surprise.
The two of them walked side by side, heading to the so-called better place.
After passing through the woods, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a hidden sea of flowers—this would be the battleground.
Li Xunsi and Fourth Spider Spirit Sister stood among the flowers, twenty meters apart, facing off.
“Looks like you’re a professional Dream World infiltrator. You must have undergone special training on how to unleash your full strength in the Virtual World,” Fourth Spider Spirit Sister analyzed.
Virtual Games might be called games, but they’re very different from traditional video games—the learning curve is extremely steep.
Originally, the purpose of creating the Virtual Game world was to allow everyone to enter the Virtual World to play and enjoy themselves.
But reality is never that simple.
After entering the Virtual World, players encounter all sorts of problems due to differences in physical constitution.
Some people actually awaken certain talents in the Virtual World, displaying athletic abilities far beyond ordinary players.
Others, on the other hand, get dizzy and unsteady, unable to even take a step, needing lots of training and adjustment to adapt.
Players who are already gifted can become even stronger through training, gaining powerful basic physical abilities.
A game—players can accept someone being better at the game than them, or spending more money and being stronger, but no one can accept being born inferior.
The essence of games is to let players escape the harshness of reality and find a moment of joy.
But how is the Virtual World any different from the real world?
It might even be more unfair.
So, Virtual Games were quickly stripped of their “Game” title amid a huge outcry, and started being called [Dream Realm].
The Virtual Dream World became a high-end form of entertainment.
But that’s beside the point…
This chick in front of her was clearly someone who’d gone through very professional Virtual Dream training—her strength and speed in the Dream Realm were far above the ordinary.
“You seem to know a lot,” Li Xunsi asked.
“I’m from the Game Department, so I do have some understanding of the Virtual World. Plus, I’ve also undergone Dream Realm training. I won’t be defeated by you that easily,” Fourth Spider Spirit Sister replied.
With that, she slowly shifted her stance, preparing for battle.
The eight spider legs behind Fourth Spider Spirit Sister swung back and forth, and her precision with props was clearly much better than her spider spirit sisters before.
Those sisters who got caught couldn’t multitask at all—if they moved, their spider legs wouldn’t, and if their spider legs moved, they forgot to move themselves.
This kind of technique is called [Multi-threaded Operation].
In Virtual Games, it’s considered advanced, requiring the brain to control multiple external limbs at once—it really does take training to master.
Just from this, it was clear that this Fourth Spider Spirit Sister was indeed quite skilled.
But there are levels to Dream Realm training too.
‘Who am I? What kind of training have I received? Demon-level training! And you?’
‘Just a little sister from a university Game Department, and you think you can compare to an undercover agent who’s staked her whole life on this?’
“One last question. What’s your name? I don’t want to have a life-and-death duel with someone nameless,” Fourth Spider Spirit Sister asked again.
“Little Li Li,” Li Xunsi answered.
That cringe-worthy name was her username, her character name.
“I’m called Fourth Sister. Remember this name—it’ll be the name of the one who buries you,” Fourth Spider Spirit Sister sneered.
As soon as she finished, the eight spider legs behind her suddenly spread wide, shooting out eight strands of spider silk to either side.
“Pupupupupu! Pupupupupu!”
The eight strands of spider silk zigzagged through the air, darting left and right in a Z-pattern.
All feints—there was no way to predict the real line of attack.
Just her own attack alone could create a terrifying spider web, even more formidable than the Heavenly Net her sisters had formed together before.
Sure enough, it was all fake sisterhood—she definitely hadn’t gone all out before, secretly holding back.
But in that instant, Li Xunsi moved both hands, sword fingers unsheathing, pointing around her.
Simply and cleanly, she intercepted the incoming spider silk midair, making it impossible for them to bind her.
“Up!” The Fourth Sister still had a trick up her sleeve.
Raising her hand, she shouted.
Suddenly, a strand of spider silk shot up from the sea of flowers beneath her, instantly binding Li Xunsi’s ankle—impossible to guard against.
Li Xunsi was immediately dragged into the ground.
The pulling force from the Fourth Sister’s spider silk was far stronger than her sisters’—it was like being hauled away by a crane, no way to steady herself just by bracing.
“Huh!?” Li Xunsi looked closely and saw that this ninth strand of spider silk was being swung by other spider silks, like a rope—no wonder it had such power.
This ninth strand had been broken off and hidden among the flowers—truly devious.
And even while gripping the severed silk in both hands, she could still manipulate it to lash around.
Nine-thread operation—she really was a master among masters.
Li Xunsi was dragged in a straight line across the sea of flowers, her butt nearly catching fire from the friction.
She could only use her strong waist to bend down while sliding, like a shrimp, reaching out to try to untie the silk around her ankle.
“Hmph! Not that easy!” Fourth Sister shouted, her expression deadly serious.
The eight other spider silks that had been wrapped around the ninth suddenly unraveled, whipping around like spirals.
Li Xunsi had no way to dodge—she was instantly bound by all eight strands.
Her neck, wrists, knees, thighs, and waist were all ruthlessly tied up by the spider silk, unable to move.
“You’re finished!” Fourth Sister suddenly lunged forward, leaping up and delivering a flying People’s Elbow from midair.
She knew this high school girl had the strength to break free from the spider silk, so she had to seize this moment to deal a heavy blow.
Li Xunsi struggled on the ground like a maggot.
Give her a bit more time and she really could break free, but this time she was done for.
“MAN!” Fourth Sister’s flying elbow smashed hard into Li Xunsi’s stomach, folding her into a V-shape, even sending out a shockwave that scattered petals from the surrounding sea of flowers.
Li Xunsi’s eyes widened, her pupils trembling—she was instantly knocked dazed!
But the Fourth Sister made a fatal mistake—she didn’t follow up with another attack.
Or maybe, mere physical blows weren’t enough to defeat a Private Server Dream Realm player.
Only by using that method could she truly subdue a player.
