Chapter 18 What?! Ye Xiu is second?!
"Holy crap! 666 speed! Is that even human?!"
"Four SSS-level ratings, two SS-level ratings, and both SS-level ratings have a perfect 97 in all attributes! This South Korean is insane!"
"Look at this, his overall rating has risen to the peerless master level, which is a whole level higher than the previous top masters."
"His hand speed of 666 is inhuman, and yet this incredibly strong person is only third in the world! My god, how strong must the people ranked above him be? I can't even imagine!"
The moment Lee Sang-hyeok's attributes were revealed, millions of Honor of Kings players worldwide were stunned.
Even Ye Xiu and the others were shocked by Lee Sang-hyeok's attributes.
"Lee Sang-hyeok, I never expected that such a powerful expert would exist in such a small country as South Korea." Wei Chen smacked his lips, looking quite impressed.
That's an incredible speed and dexterity!
"Although their country is small, they have always been a gaming powerhouse, and even call themselves the number one e-sports nation," Luo Ji said with a smile.
"Pah! You're just a frog in a well. No matter how good Lee Sang-hyeok is, is he as good as my boss? He's only third, while my boss is number one in the world, far ahead of him!" Bao Rongxing said with a look of disdain. In his eyes, Ye Xiu was the invincible supreme being, unmatched by anyone.
Ye Xiu could only laugh at this. After all, it was normal for a handsome and invincible guy like him to have a few brainless little brothers who worshipped him.
"I wonder what kind of Sky Screen reward this Lee Sang-hyeok will receive."
Curious, Chen Guo looked at the Sky List, where the text continued to appear.
[The top 3 picks for Lee Sang-hyeok from Tianmu have been revealed. Congratulations to Lee Sang-hyeok for receiving Tianmu's exclusive reward: Teamwork for mutual support.]
[Teamwork: In team battles, for each additional teammate on the field, your attack damage increases by 5%; for each enemy teammate eliminated, your physical and magical defenses increase by 5%.]
......
! ! ! ! !
The appearance of the Sky Rewards once again left players worldwide speechless.
Soon, the same voices resounded all over the world.
"Holy crap! Holy crap? Holy crap!!!"
The first "Holy crap!" was spoken calmly and without any surprise.
The second tone, "Holy crap?", is a questioning sound, as if disbelieving.
The third tone, "Holy crap (fourth tone)~!!!", was trembling, indicating disbelief.
"Teamwork for Warmth"—the name sounds crude, but the effect is absolutely amazing!
"For each additional teammate on the field, the damage increases by 5%, which means that at the start of a team match, his attack damage increases by 20%."
"For every teammate the opponent loses, his defense and magic defense increase by 5%. The more opponents he kills, the higher his defense becomes. If a team battle goes down to the last person, his defense can increase by 25%!"
"To put it simply, it means invincible in attack at the start, invincible in defense later on, and overall, it's invincible!!"
"Invincible, he's truly invincible. From now on, when Lee Sang-hyeok leads a team in team matches, who can beat him?!"
"As expected of the Sky Curtain Reward, ranked third globally, it's truly powerful!"
Happy Internet Cafe.
Wei Chen turned to Ye Xiu and asked, "Yuanfang, what do you think?"
Ye Xiu looked surprised: "Who is Yuanfang? Your lover?"
Wei Chen was too lazy to explain: "Never mind who Yuanfang is, just tell me what you think?"
"Quite a strong talent," Ye Xiu commented.
Sun Zheping strongly agreed: "Yes, with such talent, in team competitions, that's when his individual heroism will shine."
After saying that, he turned to Ye Xiu and said, "The rewards from Sky Curtain are getting more and more outrageous. I can't even imagine how awesome the reward for winning first place will be."
Ye Xiu just smiled, but Wei Chen smacked his lips: "I'm curious who will be second place. Now that the strongest person from South Korea has appeared, who else can take second place globally?"
"Before the Sky Chart, we were always focused on the domestic scene, thinking that the domestic Glory rankings were the highest level. Now it seems that there are quite a few top players from abroad."
"The world's second place will be announced in an hour. Just wait patiently."
Seeing everyone discussing the Sky Chart again, Wei Chen clapped his hands and said, "Come on, let's continue betting. Let's see which country will be the second place in the world when it's announced later."
"Bet on Japan's economy is 3 to 1, bet on South Korea is 2 to 1, bet on the US is also 2 to 1, bet on England is 2 to 1, bet on Mao is 2 to 1, bet on..."
Wei Chen named thirteen countries in one breath, and then asked everyone to place their bets.
Qiao Yifan and the others did not rush to place bets, but instead discussed it carefully.
Eight rankings have been revealed so far, with three from China, two from the United States, and one each from the United States, South Korea, and England.
Therefore, they believe that the second place globally is more likely to come from a country that is not yet on the list.
Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of the United States and South Korea, two e-sports superpowers.
Therefore, they believe that betting on countries that have never been on the list, as well as the US and China, has a higher probability of winning money.
Just after everyone had placed their bets, Duan Fei suddenly raised his hand and said, "Old Wei, are you a spy from another country?"
"What are you talking about? Who's the spy?" Wei Chen glared at Duan Fei. This kid, why does he speak so carelessly?
Duan Fei smiled and said, "Then why did you list all the other countries but not our Dragon Kingdom? Does our Dragon Kingdom not deserve to be on the list?"
Wei Chen rolled his eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about? Ye Xiu is first, and it's obvious that the second place isn't from China. Do I even need to say that? What, you want to bet on China?"
"Yes, do you dare to accept?" Duan Fei asked back.
Hey~!
Wei Chen chuckled. Someone actually wanted to bet on China? Were they just rich and stupid?
"Why wouldn't I dare accept it? You're rushing to give me money, how could I possibly turn away a god of wealth?"
"Okay, what are the odds for betting on China?" Duan Fei asked.
Wei Chen thought for a moment, then held out one hand: "Bet on Dragon Country at 1 to 5. Anyone who wants to bet on Dragon Country, hurry up!"
After Wei Chen finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, but Qiao Yifan and the others remained silent.
They're not like Duan Fei, who's rich but foolish.
Of the four top figures from the Dragon Kingdom, three have already made the list, leaving only Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu is clearly the best in the world, so the second place definitely can't be from China.
"Then I'll bet a thousand dollars on China, are you willing to take it?"
"I'll take it, I'll take it even if you bet 10,000."
"Forget about the ten thousand, I'm afraid you'll try to renege on your payment later, so let's just make a deposit of one thousand."
Duan Fei took out a thousand yuan and placed it on the table. Wei Chen snatched it away immediately, as if afraid Duan Fei would change his mind: "Once the bet is placed, it's a one thousand yuan bet on China to win. Good luck, haha!"
Wei Chen was secretly delighted.
This thousand is a sure win.
So everyone placed their bets and waited for the one-hour countdown to end, when the Sky List would reveal the world's second-place finisher.
An hour passed quickly, and after the countdown ended, the leaderboard appeared.
A line of striking gold characters appeared on the list displayed on the sky.
[Top 10 Global Honor Players Ranking]
[Top 2: Ye Xiu!]
? ? ? ?
The moment Ye Xiu's name appeared, Team Happy, Happy Internet Cafe, China, and even the whole world crashed.
They discovered that their brains were simply not up to the task.
Ye Xiu?
Ye Xiu the next?!
Foreign netizens: How could Ye Xiu possibly be second!
Chinese netizens: How could Ye Xiu possibly be second?
The members of Team Happy looked at Ye Xiu with horror, only to find that Ye Xiu's face also showed a brief moment of astonishment.
Then everyone looked at Duan Fei, who had a calm expression and a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, as if he had expected this all along.
