…

“This level 40 major update has quite a few new things,” Fa Shen Wings said directly, as if he hadn’t noticed Xia Dongli’s embarrassment.

Tian Mo Wings beside him did the same, chatting with Fa Shen Wings about the update events as if no one else was there.

They seemed oblivious to Xia Dongli’s barely contained anger.

“This marriage system is probably corresponding to the Qixi Festival, right? It’s only three days until Qixi. The dungeon is timely, but it’s a shame there are only 4 pairs of Mountain Pledge and Sea Oath accessories. How could anyone possibly get them? Why doesn’t the Great Wasteland have a cash shop? Sigh, there’s nowhere to spend money even if you have it.”

“For the world bosses, the Temple will definitely be there. Who knows if there will be any left for us.”

“These don’t really matter to me, but the Hall of Fame…”

After Fa Shen Wings finished speaking, a hint of burning desire flashed in his eyes.

What player wouldn’t dream of becoming like the Twelve Gods, with an official title and exclusive secondary weapon?

Most importantly, it was the fame and the official recognition of one’s strength.

Twelve out of a billion – this itself was an enormous honor.

Before, no one had thought there would be a day when a Hall of Fame would appear. Unexpectedly, it appeared in the Great Wasteland’s first season.

The Hall of Fame had 36 spots. Although ranked below the Twelve Gods and Twelve Legendaries, unable to replace their status, for top experts like them, it was already a supreme honor they’d dreamed of!

“I want to compete for it,” said Fa Shen Wings.

“I want to go too,” Tian Mo Wings said likewise.

“However, the 36 positions in the Hall of Fame below the Twelve Legendaries, those 36 spots probably won’t be easy to grab.”

“Great God Dongli, you guys won’t be participating, right?” Fa Shen Wings glanced at Xia Dongli and asked tentatively.

If the Twelve Gods entered the competition, then these 36 Hall of Fame positions would probably have nothing to do with them.

They needed to test the waters.

Xia Dongli, strongly resisting the urge to beat up Fa Shen Wings, smiled brightly, “I wouldn’t go so far as to compete with juniors.”

“Tsk tsk, Great God Dongli is indeed Great God Dongli, truly magnanimous.” Fa Shen Wings gave Xia Dongli a thumbs up.

“But Great God Dongli, your title of Number One Under Heaven seems to have been taken by A Silly Cutie again.”

“Cough cough…” Upon hearing Fa Shen Wings’ words, Xia Dongli almost spat out a mouthful of wine.

He was getting more and more annoyed with this guy Fa Shen Wings.

He finally understood why this guy had the nickname “Sucker Punch King.”

Sucker Punch King, of course, didn’t mean he often sucker punched others, but rather, he was often sucker punched.

According to Game Encyclopedia’s statistics in Mythic, this guy was sucker punched 365 times a year, almost once a day.

This record, in Mythic, was unbreakable, as steady as an old dog.

Even now, forget about a sucker punch, Xia Dongli had the urge to bash him over the head right then and there.

“How could A Silly Cutie level up so fast? Before she entered the Blood Hell Forbidden Land, she was only level 36. It’s only been an hour, right? She leveled up 6 levels?! Boss, I suspect she must be cheating,” Mad Magic – Flame King said, very displeased.

However, Xia Dongli didn’t follow up on his words. Instead, he glared at him, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness.

Cheating – this word was just an excuse to admit one’s own inadequacy, a reason to find excuses for oneself.

Because in the Great Wasteland, the word ‘cheat’ simply didn’t exist. He certainly wouldn’t be so foolish as to follow Mad Magic – Flame King’s lead.

However, if she wasn’t cheating, how did A Silly Cutie reach level 42 in just one short hour?

The bitterness in his heart was something only he knew.

He had invested so much in the Mad Magic Team, with monthly expenses nearly reaching ten million, yet they were still outpaced by a newcomer.

“Something big must have happened in the Blood Hell Forbidden Land.” Xia Dongli’s mind stirred, and he turned his head to glance at Night Rose, Dharma Saint, and the others.

“Little Yue, congratulations on coming out of seclusion.”

As the atmosphere in the tavern became a bit oppressive, Array Emperor and Immortal Phoenix suddenly walked in from outside the tavern, bringing along The Humbly Great Emperor and others.

It was Immortal Phoenix who greeted her.

His age, among the Twelve Gods, was only younger than Fist Sage, so when he addressed Lan Xingyue, he usually called her Little Yue.

“Thank you.” After seeing Immortal Phoenix, Lan Xingyue’s calm-as-water face finally showed a bit of change.

However, her tone was still neither cold nor warm, devoid of any emotion.

“Sister Xingyue is getting more and more beautiful. Ah, whoever marries Sister Xingyue will be truly blessed.”

Array Emperor, following behind Immortal Phoenix, although knowing that Lan Xingyue didn’t like to talk much, still joked with her a bit.

“Oh, our Number One Under Heaven is here too.” Array Emperor suddenly noticed Xia Dongli and grinned.

Xia Dongli’s face changed, and he didn’t respond to the smirking Array Emperor. He only sighed inwardly, “I really came at the wrong time. Later, I bet more people will come to mock me.”

Sure enough, as soon as this thought crossed his mind, he saw the shadows of Mo Shenbing, Dharma Demon – Torrential Rain, and Qian Shanxue at the door.

Four of the Twelve Gods had already arrived.

“Are they all here just to congratulate Dharma Saint?” Xia Dongli wondered, a hint of doubt in his heart.
