These items need to be handed over to the NPC for safekeeping upon entering the challenge arena to ensure players won't renege on their promises. Xiang Wan was quite satisfied with this. She had previously had experience with private duels, but by being aboveboard, even if the other party reneged, there was no way to get the agreed-upon items. If the other party refused to PK, attacking again would result in a red name (being hunted by all players and guards across the server), a costly mistake.

The challenge fee for this PK has increased again. Xiang Wan didn't want to be ripped off, so after thinking for a moment, she sent a private message to the expert, suggesting charging a viewing fee, splitting it 50/50 after the match. The expert replied with an "okay," and Xiang Wan immediately posted ten consecutive messages in the world chat to make sure everyone who was awake saw them before opening her live stream on another computer. She dared not use the computer she used for the competition to stream; if it affected the computer's speed and caused network congestion, resulting in a loss, she would absolutely not forgive herself.

This time, Xiang Wan no longer concealed her name. Since everyone already knew, no one would be foolish enough to stop her from going to the challenge stage.

However, compared to the entourage that surrounded the great master when he arrived, Xiang Wan's sparse crowd seemed rather pathetic. She felt embarrassed and quickly stepped onto the challenge platform to exchange items with the NPC.

The top players always remain anonymous on the leaderboard, but their rankings don't change. They were recognized the moment they appeared, and people automatically made way for them.

Xiang Wan ignored everyone's discussion, afraid that the one-sided situation would affect her mood. Even though she knew it would end this way, the principle of "out of sight, out of mind" still worked quite well.

The expert player leisurely entered the challenge platform, and the NPC activated the shield. A short while later, groups of players excitedly entered the spectator platform.

The game scene is somewhat similar to reality, except that once the PK mode is activated, Xiang Wan will no longer see the people watching around her; her computer screen will only show the situation on the challenge platform from a top-down perspective.

The number of viewers in the live stream gradually increased. Xiang Wan focused her mind and began to face the expert, ready to PK at any time.
