And so, the silver-haired youth skillfully set up a private dueling arena and pulled Lu Manman inside.
The children gathered outside to watch, eager to witness their own victory.
Having just cleared the level, they were impressed by the strength of the only adult in their team and were convinced that their adult would win.
The silver-haired boy glanced at Lu Manman impatiently, "Show off your mecha."
Lu Manman immediately released the level 5 mecha that the Dark Night Emperor had just given her.
The blinding light instantly showed everyone what it truly meant to be blinded. Everyone instinctively turned their heads away, raised their hands, shielded their eyes, and tried to see nothing.
Lu Manman was the first to be hit. After getting used to it, everyone realized that it was a golden mecha, covered with gems, which shone brightly under any light.
Wow, so cool!
Everyone was captivated by the mecha's appearance, and Lu Manman couldn't wait to sit inside. She was surprised to find that the mecha looked so shimmering when enlarged.
Only the silver-haired boy frowned. Such an eye-catching mech would only lead to the fastest death in actual combat if piloted without absolute strength.
The silver-haired boy quickly deployed his mecha and sat down.
The two children acting as referees exchanged a glance and shouted in unison, "Ready... Go!"
Upon hearing this, the children on the Radiant Monarch's side shouted at the top of their lungs, "Go, Lone Warrior! Go! Go!..."
The Dark Night Emperor's side was not to be outdone: "Go for it! Go for it! Go for it!"
The silver-haired youth quickly drew his longsword and charged directly at Lu Manman.
Lu Manman also quickly revealed her weapon, which turned out to be... a giant iron hammer!
Alright, Lu Manman swung her hammer at the charging silver mech.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the silver mech could no longer get up.
The children were stunned. They hadn't even gotten into the excitement yet, and it was already... over.
After a long moment of stunned silence, everyone finally came to their senses.
The Dark Emperor could no longer maintain his aloof demeanor and burst into laughter, "Hahaha, we won! We won! And we only used one move!"
Lu Manman blew a breath at the iron hammer, it's that simple!
The Radiant Monarch shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! You cheated!"
The Dark Emperor couldn't suppress the smirk on his face, but still replied with his usual domineering air, "Radiance! You said it yourself, a bet is a bet!"
The children behind them also shouted, "A bet's a bet, a bet's a bet, a bet's a bet..."
The Radiant Monarch rushed over and helped the Lone Warrior up, whispering, "Brother, what happened to you? Are you really my brother? Did someone hack your account? You're so pathetic, getting knocked out in one move."
Lone Strongman: ...
"If you're so good, then you go try it. The opponent is really strong. Although I underestimated them to some extent, but..."
Seeing the other party's amused look, the Radiant Monarch interrupted, "Hey, stop talking so much, just tell me if you're capable or not."
The lone strongman: "I can try again."
With these words, the Radiant Monarch felt reassured. Adopting the air of a ruler who ruled the world, he walked toward the Dark Emperor and said, "It's just a small victory. What's there to be happy about? My men were too careless. If you're so capable, let's have another match. Best two out of three."
The Dark Emperor scoffed, "You call defeating an enemy in one move a minor victory? That's laughable, but..."
The Dark Emperor changed the subject, "Since you're so sincere in begging me, I'll reluctantly agree. Just don't cry if you lose too badly."
The lonely strongman, left standing to the side, never took his eyes off Lu Manman.
Lu Manman straightened his back, and the mecha decorated with gold and diamonds shone even brighter. Look, look, let me show you all you want.
After receiving another limited-edition mecha and a promise, Lu Manman decisively agreed to the Dark Night Emperor's request for another round.
After the duel began, the lone strongman did not rush forward rashly. He held his longsword, assumed a stance, and was prepared to face the long road ahead at any time.
He must win this time.
Bang!
Another loud crash echoed as the mechs crashed to the ground. Before the lone warrior could react, he was hammered to the ground again, unable to get up.
Everyone:……
After realizing what had happened, the children, led by the Radiant Monarch, covered their faces, unable to bear to look.
Meanwhile, the Dark Night Emperor's side was filled with jubilation.
"Hahaha, we won! We really are the best!"
The Dark Night Emperor, having shed his kingly airs, happily put his arm around Lu Manman's shoulder. "Brother Suibian, you've really made me proud. I've decided to be your brother. Come on, let's add each other as friends. Pick whatever you want from my inventory. If I don't have it, just tell me and I'll get it for you. If there's anything else you want to do, tell me and I'll help you. Don't worry! Following me will guarantee you a life of luxury."
"Haha, okay." Upon hearing this, Lu Manman found the Dark Night Emperor increasingly pleasing to the eye.
Even when the Dark Emperor stubbornly stood on tiptoe and placed his small hand on her shoulder like an older brother, Lu Manman found him much cuter and even bent her legs to cooperate with him.
The Dark Emperor nodded inwardly. This lord was quite good; he had good judgment. He immediately opened his backpack and said generously, "Pick whatever you like!"
The dazzling golden light almost blinded Lu Manman again. After getting used to it, Lu Manman unceremoniously picked out two sparkly mechs.
"Great taste! You actually picked my shiniest and most valuable one. Very nice!"
The Dark Emperor expressed great appreciation for Lu Manman's aesthetic sense and immediately praised her repeatedly.
The Radiant Monarch found it extremely jarring and humiliating, and many children even cried.
The Radiant Monarch looked at his older brother's gray mech, which had already disconnected, with a hint of disdain.
Just as I was about to send him a private message to give him a good scolding, I saw the Lonely Strongman, who had re-entered the game, run out of his mech and head straight for his opponent.
His face was full of excitement, "Who are you?!"
The mutual flattery between Lu Manman and the Dark Night Emperor was coming to an end. Just as they were saying goodbye and about to leave, they were suddenly stopped by someone.
Lu Manman looked at the newcomer, then grinned, "Brother, victory and defeat are common in war, don't get excited. If you insist on asking me, then... I am who I am, a firework of a different color. Goodbye, Jianghu!"
Lu Manman logged off after saying that, and her personal terminal received messages from her grandfathers.
"Child, something important has happened, come quickly!"
