Becoming a life winner from infancy

Accompanied by a thunderous roar, a string of long, long numbers burst forth above the head of the Lord of the Dark Night.

Following that, the HP bar of the Lord of the Dark Night plummeted like a candle in the wind, rapidly decreasing until it reached the zero mark.

With a howl, the Lord of the Dark Night took the fatal blow from the Star Guardian Chicken and dissipated into dust.

At this moment, the venue suddenly fell silent as death.

Then, in less than a few seconds, with Xia Nuo's crisp "Yay!"

The whole place immediately erupted with applause and cheers like a tidal wave.

"He, he actually defeated the Lord of the Dark Night!"

[No way, can the chicken actually one-hit kill the Lord of the Dark Night?]

[So thrilling! I feel like I want to learn this strategy myself]

[Mom asked me why I'm watching the game on my knees]

[In my life, I've never seen such an unbelievable match]

[With the body of a mortal chicken, it rivals the gods!]

[Are my eyes deceiving me?]

Your eyes aren't deceiving you, brothers.

Fang You could guess the various thoughts and doubts in everyone's minds.

After all, the reason why this Star Guardian Chicken could deal such preposterous damage was much more complex than what everyone saw, and the bar was set extremely high.

Because half an hour ago, Fang You, who was free with his vouchers, spent a huge sum to brush a second golden trait for his Star Guardian Chicken—

[Soul of Revenge]: For every Paru that falls in battle, that Paru will deal an extra 10% damage in combat.

On the foundation of sacrificing four Parus, combined with the effects of [Swarm] triggered by the original team lineup plus the debuffs stacked with [Spring Wind and Rain], Fang You silently performed a monkey show in front of the boss room of Old Man's Ring where no one could see. In the final blow, he killed the ultimate boss, the Lord of the Dark Night. The damage even overflowed by a lot.

It was filled with a numerical beauty!

Of course, such a countermeasure plan was not inspired by joker Lin Qiaoen, but based on the Paru traits described by Lin Qiaoen and his own understanding of Wang Zihan. It came entirely from Fang You's own tactical planning.

Meanwhile, even though the current situation suggested that Fang You had two mythical beasts-level combatants to contend with, Wang Zihan still had four King of Paru beasts available to fight, so his chances of winning were still not small.

But, Wang Zihan had already lost his will to fight, his face pale as he knelt on one side of the duel arena.

Because, just now, it wasn't just the Lord of the Dark Night that had been shattered.

It was also Wang Zihan's heart.

He himself had been broken by Fang You!

I possess the world's strongest Parus, yet I can't even defeat a little chicken.

What's the point even if I manage to defeat Fang You with the remaining four Parus?

I...

Wang Zihan suddenly realized a cruel truth.

I lack the strength to master the King of Paru.

I am a false king.

I, I am just a joker!

A real clown!

Seven years, a full seven years.

I thought I had grown.

But it was all just lies!

I am still being toyed with by Fang You, never escaping from his Five Finger Mountain!

When... when will I ever be able to defeat him!

Just as Wang Zihan became utterly disheartened, unable to fight any longer, the venue suddenly became quiet again.

Meanwhile, a female voice suddenly came from behind Wang Zihan.

"You've worked hard, you did really well."

"From here on... leave it to me."

...

That voice was sweet and pure, gentle with a touch of immaturity.

"Can you hand over that Paru console to me?"

"..."

Wang Zihan remained in a numb state, with a vacant gaze.

Seeing that Wang Zihan ignored her, the girl seemed to remember something, coughed and then said earnestly:

"Zi Han, I will use it to defeat You You! You can trust me with it!"

Upon hearing this, his listless eyes suddenly brightened.

Wang Zihan abruptly lifted his head, only to find that the sister appearing before him was wearing the same high-collared cape that he was.

At the same time, she wore a purple feather mask.

Though one couldn't see her entire face, it was clear that this sister was in the bloom of youth.

She looked like a very pretty big sister!

Hehehe...

But, but that's not important!

Wang Zihan wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth.

What's important is.

The, the thing she just said...

It was like a spring rain that melted the ice in Wang Zihan's heart.

```

It was as if...

a savior angel had come to her rescue!

At that moment, Wang Zihan suddenly realized something and, trembling, handed over the purple-gold Paru device in his hands. With a voice tinged with weeping, he pleaded desperately:

"Please, please help me get my revenge!"

"Hmm... betting on the name of joker, I absolutely won't lose to Fang You."

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting. A lot has happened,"

Lin Qiaoen cleared her throat and, trying to muster her courage, explained to the audience:

"Actually, I am the real joker."

[Really? I don't believe it! Unless you take off your mask and let me see]

[At this point, whether joker really exists doesn't matter anymore. Even if you say You You is joker now, I'd believe it]

[+1 to the comment above]

[The production team really knows how to create a show, one wave after another, right?]

[Something's off about Zi Han's expression. What did they exactly talk about?]

…

Whew...

I finally stood up.

I stood on this stage.

Lin Qiaoen wasn't the social-phobic people imagined her to be.

She was just used to one side of her demure and obedient class president persona.

Used to quietly studying, spending time alone quietly, and being a well-behaved child who followed the rules quietly.

But two years ago, right after the middle school exams ended and during the summer break,

a TV commercial changed her original study plan.

On TV, a six-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl held hands, running with a multitude of Paru in the grand and vast world of Paru, deeply captivating her.

Since then, as joker, she logged into the world of Paru, discovering, capturing, collecting, training, and becoming a passionate Paru Trainer.

She, who previously only liked to read books at home, started to go out more and more.

Her parents thought she was studying in the library.

But, that wasn't the case.

I lied to my parents.

I am a bad girl!

I spend at most only four hours studying in the library a day!

The rest of the time, I play with Paru in secret!

I have been catching Paru everywhere!

The thrill of doing something forbidden gave Lin Qiaoen a kind of excitement she had never felt before.

And the name joker, from the very beginning, wasn't meant to sound elite; it was the jester itself.

Because she thought clowns were cool.

Even if it was to court popularity, it was about deceiving people.

The feeling of deceiving people was cool!

However, until then, she had never thought she would return to reality as joker.

"Are you ready, joker?"

Fang You adjusted his headset and asked the girl before him:

"If you say you are the true joker, then show me some strength that will satisfy me."

"No problem, just, just that I think, you have no hope of winning this match anymore, so, so it's pointless to keep playing."

[Wow, this new female joker is so bold]

[You You currently has two divine beasts controlling the field. Although you still have four Paru, unless you're the real joker, you can't beat Emperor Youyou's lineup]

[But hey, don't tell me, hey, don't tell me, it does feel like joker is on the internet with that social-phobic style swagger]

[Could she really be joker?]

joker always politely and cautiously advises others to surrender online, then accidentally lets slip some cruel words.

Of course, to everyone, this seems like a low-key way of showing off, intentionally said that way.

However, after listening to her, Fang You actually smiled and nodded, "Then let's reset the Paru configuration."

"Okay, that's fine... But for this match, I won't use my Championship team against you; that would be too unfair for you."

Lin Qiaoen smiled, "Let's just use SR grade or lower Paru for the battle."

"Agreed, I'll play along to the end... Just right, I have some fancy tricks I've been wanting to try."

More fancy tricks?

Lin Qiaoen couldn't contain her excitement; she didn't know how many tactical adjustments Fang You made to his Paru device in that brief time.

But this was definitely a duel to look forward to!

Lin Qiaoen's mood was very uplifted right now.

Initially having to use Fang You's Paru device against Wang Zihan, she couldn't muster any enthusiasm. Stay updated via empire

But now, she finally had the chance to duel with someone she respected, Fang You himself.

To have a fierce battle before going back to reviewing for exams was really...

truly thrilling!

Lin Qiaoen gradually found the feeling of being "joker" offline.
