Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!-Chapter 2222: Love and Hate Between the Top Two on the Leaderboard

The train was packed not just in Xu Huo’s carriage; other carriages weren’t much better either. Due to the crowds, more players went to the restaurant for some air. Players from all walks of life sat together at shared tables.

Xu Huo entered and saw those Cannibal Players gathered together, with only symbolic servings of desserts in front of each person. They used a prop so others couldn’t hear their voices.

"Mind if I join?" Xu Huo walked over and sat down directly.

The Cannibal Players didn’t look pleased but didn’t kick him out either. A female player among them sarcastically said, "Since you’ve already sat down, you figured you’d at least say something. How polite."

Xu Huo scanned the holographic menu, not raising his head, "If it’s not polite, I’d invite you to another table."

The female player’s face darkened, but the others stopped her, and she let it go eventually.

During the meal, Xu Huo overheard people in the carriage discussing a match. It was a deathmatch initiated by the second place on Rank-B United Wormhole Point rankings against the first place. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The same wormhole point has several district player rankings. Beneath a single wormhole point with all districts comes a united ranking. Going up one level, it’s the rankings among Level Wormhole Points, which can list up to fifty thousand people. Those who can get on the united rankings are almost the elite of elites, the top existence among players. The more forward the ranking, the more attention it draws, and quite a few have become somewhat famous, recognized just by their game nickname.

This deathmatch involved two parties from Rank-B Wormhole Point who were ranked first and second on the Rank-B United Wormhole Point list, both Rank-A Players, and their prowess was among the elite tier in the entire game.

"At this stage, people usually treasure their lives. Why are they still participating in a deathmatch?" A player asked puzzledly, "The first and second place on the united rankings, that’s a high stake; they’re the ones most likely to become Super Players. Why fight to the death?"

"You don’t get it," a player actively promoting the deathmatch in the restaurant said, "That’s pursuit of the strong."

"Nonsense about pursuit of the strong," another player scoffed, "It’s because they have a grudge!"

This drew more interest, and someone quickly asked what the grudge was.

"This deathmatch was initiated by the second rank ’Most Loved Minmin.’ From the nickname, you can tell he’s a love-stricken fool," the player spoke enticingly with a "I have juicy details" expression, "It’s said he has a childhood playmate he’s been chasing since he was young, but the playmate claims they’ll only consider him if he becomes the first on the player rankings."

"’Most Loved Minmin’ has a decent talent. Logically, becoming first on some rankings shouldn’t be difficult, but sometimes grudges are unclear; ’Cold Knife, Cold Arrow, Cold Heart’ from the same district as him isn’t far behind. They initially forged a friendship in the game, but the moment rankings were released, the little friendship boat was already shaky."

"Once might be fine, but ’Cold Knife, Cold Arrow, Cold Heart’ consistently overshadowed ’Most Loved Minmin’ on district rankings, same wormhole point rankings, and even now on the United Wormhole Point list. Failed to win the girlfriend and remained as perpetual second place, forget about friendship; not smashing each other’s brains is already good."

"But intelligent people aren’t shallow, they wouldn’t fight over a ranking; ’Most Loved Minmin’ accepted losing and worked crazily hard to enhance his strength, hoping to claim first."

"Speaking of which, his friends’ kids who joined the game with ’Most Loved Minmin’ are in college now, and he’s still single, surely anxious. Thick-skinned, he asked his playmate if a compromise was possible." That player narrated vividly as if witnessing the failed confession scene, "However, his playmate was steadfast, saying the same: without being first, don’t bother talking."

"His playmate might be playing him!" A player interjected, upset, "That woman’s not being fair; not interested, don’t string him along!"

Many agreed; emotions shouldn’t be forced. Although ’Most Loved Minmin’ seemed overly persistent, setting a goal ahead was giving a glimmer of hope, wasn’t it?

"Chill, I haven’t finished yet. The excitement is still to come." The boasting player continued, "Both ’Most Loved Minmin’ and his playmate are persistent. After decades of hassle, no result, and yet six months ago, ’Most Loved Minmin’ reportedly entered an especially perilous place for Super Evolution realization; emerged three months, barely surviving, only to find his playmate with his lifetime adversary!"

The restaurant erupted in collective gasps.

"’Most Loved Minmin’ couldn’t tolerate it, rushed over to find out his nemesis was expecting a child..."

"Hold on!" Someone interrupted quickly, "Was it the nemesis or the playmate who was pregnant?"

The player chuckled, "The nemesis was pregnant."

"So ’Cold Knife, Cold Arrow, Cold Heart’ is a woman; now ’Minmin’ should be a man?" Many players weren’t familiar with Rank-B Wormhole Point list, "Is ’Most Loved Minmin’ also a woman?"

"Turns out it’s two women fighting over one man. That’s dull."

"I said, don’t rush, the exciting part hasn’t come yet." The boasting player teased for a moment before revealing, "’Cold Knife, Cold Arrow, Cold Heart’ is definitely a woman, ’Minmin’ is definitely a man, but ’Most Loved Minmin’ is an authentic man!"

The group went silent.

Though all kinds of combinations have appeared in the game, the mainstream is still between men and women.

"For such melodrama, you might as well say ’Most Loved Minmin’ sacrificed for love, voluntarily getting pregnant." One player jested, "His playmate’s got kids; why’s he still struggling?"

"As they say, patience leads to anger; ’Most Loved Minmin’ blinded by love, later checked deeply and found out the playmate and his nemesis were already together. To prevent him from officially entangling with her partner, ’Cold Knife, Cold Arrow, Cold Heart’ took meticulous measures." The boasting player continued, "According to incomplete statistics, she used but wasn’t limited to recruiting ’Most Loved Minmin’s teammates to drag him down, selling fake strategies through various channels, and spreading false info leading him into difficult instances to ensure her top spot."

Everyone in the carriage raised their thumbs: Damn, seriously idle!
