I Can See All The Bosses' Drops-Chapter 891 - 865: Zhang Xinying Challenges Shengshi the Drunken Master
"Hello, esteemed Commanders!"
On the street of Tam Village, Babylon, holding his newly forged short sword, approached Emperor Pu and the other two.
As they looked at Babylon's appearance, a trace of intrigue flashed across their eyes.
Shengshi the Drunkard, true to his cunning nature, was the first to speak:
"Hello."
"Is there anything we can assist you with?"
Due to the conspicuous badge hanging from Babylon's waist, the three instantly grasped his intentions.
Babylon flashed a guileless smile at them and presented the black short sword in his hand:
"This weapon was forged after enduring eighty-one days of effort."
"It is yet to be named; I invite the three of you to bestow a name upon it."
Then Babylon pulled out that conspicuous badge from his waist:
"Whoever names it to my satisfaction shall receive this as my reward."
Looking at Babylon's crude short sword, the three exchanged puzzled glances.
Though Babylon's sword was technically finished, its appearance was somewhat unbearable to look at, resembling a half-finished product.
Nevertheless, having forged such a thing within a few hours as a mere ordinary person was quite a challenge for him.
Turning their attention back to Shengshi the Drunkard.
They hadn't expected that naming it would be the only requirement to obtain the badge.
Since the atrocity with the elder in the purple robe was thanks to Emperor Pu, Shengshi the Drunkard presumed the badge naturally belonged to Emperor Pu.
Zhang Xinying had similar thoughts, so neither spoke, both looking towards Emperor Pu.
Emperor Pu immediately understood their intention and asked in surprise:
"Are you sure you want to let me have this badge?"
But then, Babylon interjected:
"No, no, no, that's not how it works."
"I want each of you to come up with a name, and I'll decide who deserves it."
The three almost simultaneously froze in surprise.
Emperor Pu chuckled and said:
"That's exactly how it should be."
"I enjoy a fair competition."
He then glanced at the half-formed black short sword in Babylon's hand and declared:
"How about 'Black Bear Blade'?"
Shengshi the Drunkard immediately exclaimed:
"Great name!"
"Oh damn, you truly understand me."
Babylon then looked at Shengshi the Drunkard, who hurriedly asserted:
"Just call it 'Black Knife'."
The three present couldn't help but roll their eyes; that was way too perfunctory.
Clearly, Shengshi the Drunkard was intentionally holding back to ensure Emperor Pu gets the badge.
Babylon didn't comment and shifted his gaze to Zhang Xinying behind him.
Zhang Xinying, following suit, casually suggested:
"How about 'Little Black Knife'?"
Shengshi the Drunkard broke into a cold sweat, thinking: 'Even if you're being perfunctory, there's a limit.'
Emperor Pu couldn't hold back a chuckle: "Pfft~ Hmm..."
Zhang Xinying felt awkward as she spoke the words herself.
Unexpectedly, Babylon jumped with joy upon hearing it and exclaimed:
"Great name!"
Eyes gleaming, he declared the short sword's name:
"From now on, it shall be called 'Little Black Knife'."
Excitedly, he prepared to hand the badge to Zhang Xinying, leaving the other two dumbfounded:
"Is this for real?"
The live audience watching the stream were even more flabbergasted, flooding the Hua Country War Zone's comments with:
"Is this guy clueless about aesthetics, or are we outdated?"
"I suspect blatant cheating!"
"Remove the word 'suspect', it's obvious."
"Is this guy enamored by our Rabbit God's beauty?"
"The name is so casual, it hurts to look!"
…
Zhang Xinying reached out to receive the badge, feeling an intense sense of disbelief.
Truth be told, Zhang Xinying never intended to want the badge.
After experiencing the Tam Village incident, she realized she was unsuitable for the so-called Alliance Leader position.
She could stand behind Lin Yi and be his most steadfast supporter;
But she couldn't stand at the forefront, directly facing the Hundred Races' survival;
Fearing her indecision might imperil the Hundred Races.
Clearly, Shengshi the Drunkard was more suitable for the role than her.
Emperor Pu was too.
While Zhang Xinying was dazed, clutching the badge, Emperor Pu wasn't displeased about losing it. Instead, he smiled as always:
"Congratulations!"
"Actually, I also like the name 'Little Black Knife'."
Hearing his words, Zhang Xinying looked into Emperor Pu's sincere eyes and smiled:
"Thank you!"
Before coming here, Lin Yi had said.
In this Alliance Leader contest, apart from Shengshi the Drunkard, Emperor Pu was the most trustworthy.
For Lin Yi, the Reincarnator, Emperor Pu's character had been proven by time.
As Babylon handed over the fourth badge, his figure gradually faded and vanished.
Looking at the village in ruins, Shengshi the Drunkard suddenly asked:
"Where do we find the remaining badges?"
Zhang Xinying then questioned Shengshi the Drunkard:
"How many badges do you have now?"
Shengshi the Drunkard froze for a moment but then replied with a hand gesture showing '3'.
Instantly, a system notification popped up before the three:
"All badges acquired, returning in: 5s."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xinying's badge turned out to be the last one.
Shengshi the Drunkard was taken aback:
"It's over just like that?"
With the countdown commencing, the streamed broadcast was interrupted, leaving everyone watching the badge ranking, waiting for the final contest outcome.
But at the last '1' second of the countdown, Zhang Xinying suddenly pointed at Shengshi the Drunkard:
"I want to challenge him!"
Shengshi the Drunkard was stunned:
"What?"
The countdown also froze immediately.
Pointing at himself in disbelief, Shengshi the Drunkard looked at Zhang Xinying:
"Why?"
Looking weary, Zhang Xinying gazed at the ruins around her without further explanation:
"Perhaps you're more suited than me."
Even now, Shengshi the Drunkard struggled to accept:
"I wanted to win, but not like this."
Emperor Pu, witnessing the dramatic turn, jokingly remarked:
"Oh damn it, have you forgotten about me? I'm still here."
At that moment, the Guardian appeared:
"The challenged cannot refuse." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Shengshi the Drunkard and Zhang Xinying were then transported to a void space, where the Guardian announced:
"Challenge initiated, challenger prepare."
Zhang Xinying suddenly became serious, wielding her magic staff, and told Shengshi the Drunkard:
"Boss Drunkard, show me your full strength."
Seeing no other option, Shengshi the Drunkard accepted the challenge:
"I won't hold back."
