“Single Transplant!”

In the process of the Queen of the Night’s continuous attacks, although she kept retreating and wanted to pull away from Ye Chen’s position, Ye Chen still miraculously closed the distance between them to less than three meters. Ye Chen transplanted the Iron-Armored Willow without hesitation, blocking the front of the Queen of the Night.

Although the Iron-Armored Willow was low in Attack and could not even move by itself despite being the primary means of attack for a Botanist, instead it had a broader attack range to compensate for its shortcomings. Once transplanted, the Iron-Armored Willow immediately waved its two dark green wickers, launching a ferocious assault against the Queen of the Night.

Two values displaying more than twenty points of damage rose from the head of the Queen of the Night. Like most adventurers who choose the Spatial-Type Mage, the Queen of the Night was also pursuing the thrill of having high Magic Attack. However, under such circumstances, her Defense was clearly not very low, showing that the equipment she adorned was obviously quite high-quality.

“Withering Light.”

The Queen of the Night stubbornly resisted against the attack of the Iron-Armored Willow and wanted to continue her retreat. However, this time with Ling Chen’s staff falling down in one fell swoop, a ray of Withered Light smashed down on her position. The Queen of the Night took another thirty over points of damage, and due to the impact from Ye Chen’s attack, her body, which was already blown back from the assault of the Iron-Armored Willow, trembled slightly.

After two waves of attacks, the Queen of the Night had lost more than 80 HP. There was a red overlay around the Queen of the Night’s body, and she hurriedly drank an HP recovery potion. However! Ye Chen’s equipment changed suddenly and became a general-purpose melee set!

“The Queen of the Night is done for.”

In the viewing gallery, those adventurers who had watched Ye Chen’s dozens of battles knew that the Queen of the Night was about to lose. This battle had a clear victor.

That Page of Lingering Dust was wearing a general-purpose melee set. Though the Physical Attack was not very high, once entangled by him, unless it were soldiers and assassins with close-range melee skills and enough ability to force him to switch to other professions, there was no need to even think about escape. The Queen of the Night, a Spatial-Type Mage, had no melee capabilities at all. In the face of this kind of pervert who grew even more brutal in close-range melee battles, there was not even the slightest glimpse at victory.

Within the Arena, the Queen of the Night did not admit defeat but tried her best to shake off Ye Chen’s pursuit, but her efforts were only in vain.

“She’s actually a rookie player?” Ye Chen had a weird expression on his face as he chased after the Queen of the Night.

A while ago, Ye Chen had guessed that she might only just started playing “The Boundless World”, judging from his close examination of the Queen of the Night’s mechanics. At this time, after closing in and engaging in melee combat, Ye Chen fully confirmed this fact.

The Queen of the Night should be a rookie player who had an extremely acute sense for spatial coordinates and blessed with intuitive calculation ability. Otherwise, adventurers with such high skills would not behave so clumsily in close-quarter combat. For those genuinely expert adventurers, although they cannot entirely shake off his pursuit, temporarily escaping and buying time to restore HP shouldn’t be a problem.

[System Prompt: The Battle is over, Congratulations on your Victory!]

“The Queen of the Night really lost, and she lost so miserably.”

When Ye Chen received the system prompt proclaiming his victory, the viewing gallery was deathly silent.

Although the Queen of the Night caused no small amount of damage to Page of Lingering Dust, everyone could see that Page of Lingering Dust held an absolute advantage throughout the game. Even if they were to be rematched, the Queen of the Night would undoubtedly lose.

“Awesome!”

Although many fans of Queen of the Night became downcasted because of her loss, more adventurers were already wholly convinced of Ye Chen’s ability.

“There are still seven matches!”

On the other side, after Ye Chen won against the Queen of the Night, she seemed to not take her loss to heart and started a new round again.

It took him an average of three minutes to achieve victory in a single match. After more than 90 consecutive battles, Ye Chen had been fighting in the Arena for more than four hours. But with the appearance of the Queen of the Night, it uplifted his spirit and reignited his will to battle. Now he only needed to fight for another seven games, and he could be liberated from the Arena.

There was no suspense in the next seven battles, Ye Chen successfully completed a 100-Match winning streak.

“Another 100-match winning streak legend is born.”

Those adventurers inside the viewing gallery who were watching Ye Chen’s fights sighed emotionally. Only these adventurers, who were often embroiled in the Arena matches, know what a gargantuan task it was to achieve a 100-Match winning streak, let alone it was a Botanist who achieved it.

“He couldn’t be thinking of continuing his challenge, right?”

“He seemed to have left.”

When the player searched for Ye Chen’s in-game name, they failed to find the corresponding virtual Arena room.

…

[System Prompt: Congratulations on your 100-Match winning streak!]

[System Prompt: The mission “100 Victories” is completed!]

After achieving a 100-Match winning streak, two system prompts repeatedly sounded in Ye Chen’s ears. Ye Chen could then let out a sigh of relief, leaving the virtual Arena, and walked to Ed outside the Hero Arena.

“Page of Lingering Dust?”

Ye Chen had just walked out of the gates leading to the Hero Arena and headed down the stairs. However, he was suddenly ambushed by a male and female pair, who jumped in his way, blocking his advance.

“Do you two have something for me?”

Ye Chen swept a quick glance at the two, but there was no impression of them in his mind.

Both Bloodthirsty Blade and Iron-Blooded Bunny were secretly rejoicing at their luck. One should know that the Hero Arenas in major cities in the Oriental Region were connected through the Virtual Arena. When they tried to contact Ye Chen halfway, they found that Ye Chen the punk had already blocked the remote friend application and could only patiently wait at the gates of the Arena. There were so many Hero Arenas in the Oriental Region, and they encountered Ye Chen as soon as they started waiting. So, it could be said that their luck could definitely be said to be great.

“We are the core elites of the Iron-Blooded Guild located within Titan Megacity. We just watched this Bro’s fight, and we really admire Bro’s ability. I don’t know if Bro is willing to join the Iron-Blooded Guild. As long as the Bro agrees, after entering the guild, we definitely cultivate you as one of our top elites!” Iron-Blooded Bunny quickly explained her intentions.

Although she felt that it was rather unlikely to recruit Ye Chen, she couldn’t just give up without doing anything.

“Sorry, but I have no intention of joining any guilds.”

Joining a guild indeed provided tremendous benefits for low-level adventurers. At least when running Instance Dungeons, one did not worry about unable to find a team, especially for professions like the Botanist, which is rejected by most teams.

However, Ye Chen did not have any intentions of joining any guilds. After receiving the “100-Victory” mission rewards, even if his efficiency before hitting Level 30 was not as good as those highly-efficient level grinding teams, but compared with the average populace, it was not any worse!

“It doesn’t matter. Whenever Bro has the intentions of joining a guild, why not consider our Iron-Blooded Guild first? The door of our Iron-Blooded Guild will always be open for you!” Bloodthirsty Blade interjected at this time and sent a “close friend” request to Ye Chen. To prevent celebrities from being harassed, remote friend applications could be blocked, but the close friend application function could not be blocked.

They didn’t intend to persuade Ye Chen at once. For this kind of expert who was definitely not a newcomer, giving empty promises and wanting to convince him at once was a fool’s dream.

Ye Chen received the close friend application and accepted it without much thought.

In the game, networking was a vital resource. Even if Ye Chen had no intention of joining the Iron-Blooded Guild at all, it was much more convenient to solve any matters of conflict or contradiction, by having connections with a senior executive.

“Okay, we’ll talk about it then.”

After adding Bloodthirsty Blade and Iron-Blooded Bunny as friends, Ye Chen turned to say goodbye and walked in front of the Arena Manager Ed.

“Haha, I, Ed, am indeed good at picking out talents! You actually achieved the glorious record of a 100-Match winning streak! For a promising young man like you, I, Ed, will never be stingy! I must give you a generous reward!” Ye Chen approached, and Ed immediately broke into cheerful, boisterous laughter.

[System Prompt: You have completed the mission “100 Victories”!]

[System Prompt: You have been guided by Ed, and your ability as a Botanist has been improved. You can now plant one more plant to fight. The current number of plants that can be planted is 2!]

[System Prompt: Due to your excellent performance in the Arena, Ed has given you a special reward! You got the skill book “Planting: Durian Bomb Tree”!]

It was actually the skill “Durian Bomb Tree”?!

Even if it was Ye Chen, when he saw this unexpected reward, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes in surprise!
