On the day of the preseason game, explosive news spread in the game that a team had won 41 games in a row but had not played a single official game.

People discussing this matter can be heard everywhere, and even the audience in the big pool of the mid-season tournament can’t help but talk about it while watching the game.

“This is outrageous.” Some viewers were shocked. “What kind of luck did the person who drew the teams have?”

An audience member nearby gave him some advice: “He’s a newcomer with a luck value of 100.”

The audience was shocked: “His luck is worth 100?! Why didn’t the big guild recruit this newcomer?!”

The audience shook their heads and said, “It’s useless for the big guilds. Every team has to compete in the mid-season tournament. It’s not random. There’s no such thing as drawing teams.”

“And the playoffs, do you think luck plays any role in a playoff situation like that?”

The audience smacked their lips. “That’s true, but luck is really useful in the preseason.”

“It’s useless to rely on luck alone.” The audience next to him curled their lips. “This team gives me the feeling that they just want to cheat and beat the garbage team. They just want to muddle through the preseason and do whatever they want.”

“After they have eliminated all the rubbish teams in the later stages, they will still have to face strong teams, and they will be defeated by then.”

The audience hesitated and said, “But I think they are pretty good. I want to place a bet.”

The audience nearby commented contemptuously: “I don’t think this Wandering Circus is a good idea. Anyway, I won’t bet on this team easily.”

“It’s better to bet on a big guild than on this team.” The audience looked up and watched the team battle on the big screen enthusiastically. “This is the top bloody game battle.”

The clown’s mask on the screen was splattered with blood. He laughed wildly, raised his green sniper rifle and pulled the trigger at the person opposite him.

[System Prompt: Congratulations to player Daniel for winning the single-player competition. The Deer Hunter Guild earns one point.]

The entire viewing pool was silent for two seconds. The next moment, deafening cheers almost overturned the TV screen.

“Clown–!!”

“Clown–!!”

Daniel, covered in blood, walked out from beside the TV screen. Blood dripped down his body. The paper mask shell had been softened by the blood, and he took it off carelessly and threw it aside.

Then Daniel suddenly stopped, turned around, put on a standard and hypocritical fake smile, bowed politely to everyone, and then took off his hat and waved it:

“I am the clown, please remember to support me.”

His apple green eyes curved with a smile: “Otherwise, that dead guy on TV will be your fate.”

Daniel’s opponent on TV was lying in a pool of blood with his eyes open. The pain of a destroyed soul made his face distorted before his death, and his body was full of bullet holes from gunshot wounds.

He was tortured to death by Daniel.

After that, Daniel didn’t care how the audience cheered and waved his hand nonchalantly: “Ciao~ (goodbye in Italian)”

Then he walked off the stage.

The audience member who had been talking about Bai Liu swallowed and said, “It feels… so scary, clown. I still prefer a gentler way of playing. For example, the lottery strategy of Bai Liu from the wandering circus is very interesting.”

“What do you know!” The audience next to him was very excited and retorted impatiently, “It’s this kind of murder, bloody, it’s fun to watch! No matter how scary the clown is, he can’t hit you! How fun it is to watch him kill others!”

“Bai Liu is just an opportunistic coward.” The audience commented with disgust, “Sooner or later, he will die in the hands of a strong man. I hate this kind of thing the most. When he dies, I will bet on his opponent.”

Daniel, who was walking down covered in blood, suddenly stopped. He turned his head sharply and jumped in front of the audience who had just commented on Bai Liu with a few leaps at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Daniel pulled out a green sniper rifle and pointed it at the audience with a brilliant smile: “I seemed to have heard you say something bad about Bai Liu just now.”

The horn-shaped opening of the sniper rifle was pressed against the audience’s head. Daniel opened his grass-green eyes and slowly lowered his body: “But I don’t think I heard it clearly just now. Could you please repeat it again?”

The audience was stunned, and he was trembling as he looked at the gun pointed at him – this thing could even destroy a person’s soul!

“I, I said Bai Liu was taking advantage of the situation, he is a coward, and you, you are awesome.” The audience gave the clown a thumbs up with trembling hands.

The smile on Daniel’s face disappeared completely in an instant. He looked at the audience expressionlessly: “I hate to hear people say that Bai Liu is not good.”

“He’s the best.”

Daniel pulled the trigger without hesitation.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang—!”

The audience covered their heads and screamed miserably, and almost shrank back under their chairs. When the shooting ended, the surviving audience member vaguely realized that this was the central hall and the clown could not attack him.

But in just a moment, the clown’s strong murderous intent towards him made him feel that he was really going to be killed.

Daniel looked at the sniper rifle in distress, which could not hit the audience: “I forgot that you can’t kill people in the central hall.”

The audience raised their hands, crying and shouting at the top of their lungs: “I won’t say anything about Bai Liu anymore! I won’t dare to say it again! I’m betting on Bai Liu! I’m betting all my points on him! He’s the best! The best!”

Daniel shifted his gaze from the gun to the audience’s sobbing face. He smiled regretfully and shrugged: “But you’re not the best.”

“Want to bet on Bai Liu?” Daniel raised his gun to the face of the audience member, showing extreme disgust, “Are you worthy?”

“Bai Liu doesn’t need inferior believers like you.”

Daniel put his hands and gun behind his back and said in a gentle and submissive manner: “Can you please enter the game now and let me kill you?”

The audience member was almost frightened. He looked around helplessly, trying to find someone to help.

But the audience around had already moved away, and no one dared to come over.

“Clown.” The president of the Deer Hunters, Cen Buning, came up. He glanced at the audience indifferently, then looked at Daniel, “The doubles match is about to start, don’t make trouble.”

The audience looked at Cen Buming with tears of gratitude.

Daniel didn’t take his eyes off the spectator at all: “I won’t play in the doubles match, right? Then I can just rush back before the team match.”

“I’ll be back after I kill him.” Daniel turned around and looked at Cen Buming, grinning and saying, “It will be quick.”

The audience slumped to the ground in a daze.

Wang Shun looked at the others in the locker room and said, “In the early preseason, we will have an easier time because of Du Sanying.”

“But this doesn’t mean we should relax. You also need to pay attention to the situation in the mid-season.”

Wang Shun clicked on the system panel, and the panel popped up, with the round-robin schedule of the mid-season tournament appearing on it.

“Unlike the preseason games, which are held randomly at multiple locations, there are only 496 games in total, 16 games per day, for a total of 31 days, which means it will be completed in one month.”

“According to previous years’ practice, the mid-season tournament usually ends at the same time as the pre-season tournament, or ends earlier.”

Wang Shun continued to click on the panel, and a list of rankings appeared on the panel:

“In the mid-season tournament, the main thing you need to focus on is the popularity ranking. Most of the popular players are concentrated in the mid-season tournament.”

“This is a table of the top 300 most popular players. But please note that your popularity must be stable in the top 100 before the next league starts in order to obtain the death-free gold medal.”

Wang Shun looked at them and said, “The reason why I showed you the table of the top 300 is because two of you are in the top 300.”

“Liu Jiayi, popularity ranking 267.”

“Bai Liu, popularity ranking 248.”

“By the way, because of Du Sanying’s eye-catching card drawing performance today.” Wang Shun clicked on the panel, “he received a lot of attention and his ranking rose to 351.”

Du Sanying exclaimed in surprise and pointed at his nose: “Me?”

Mu Sicheng slammed the table angrily: “Damn it, Du Sanying is on the list, why not me!”

Wang Shun explained with a smile: “God Mu, you, Tang Erda and Mu Ke are ranked at the bottom because you two are not very active and have no topic value, especially after entering the game pool, it’s like you disappeared.”

“Many viewers thought you were dead.”

Mu Sicheng: “…I’m so sorry, I’m still alive!”

Tang Erda coughed awkwardly.

Mu Ke was very calm. His skills and identity were that of an assassin, and it was not a good thing to be too ostentatious.

“During the league, any game will have a strong impact on the rankings.” Wang Shun looked at the panel, “In addition to Du Sanying, there are two newcomers whose rankings fluctuated significantly today.”

“One is Armand from Golden Dawn. After an outstanding performance in a singles match, his ranking rose from 681 to 302.”

Wang Shun looked at Bai Liu and said, “There is another one, the Deer Hunter Clown. His ranking rose from 549 to 203 today, and then dropped to 321.”

“I would like to focus on this clown here. His rise in the ranking is due to his outstanding performance in the singles competition and his brutal personal style, both of which helped him attract the attention of many viewers.”

Wang Shun clicked on the panel, and a picture of a dead person with a distorted face appeared.

“This is what an opponent looks like when they die at the hands of the Clown. It’s a very horrific death.”

“But these are not the main points of my mentioning this clown.” Wang Shun’s expression darkened. “Massacre of opponents is a common operation in the league. It will give the audience a strong sense of shock and will not cause his ranking to drop.”

“The reason this clown was demoted is because he left the field and killed a spectator during the Deer Hunter doubles match.”

Wang Shun clicked on the panel, and a photo of a player with a smashed head appeared on the panel.

“This is what the players he slaughtered looked like.”

“I was able to get this photo because the Clown had a small TV on during the game, and the part where he slaughtered the audience was played directly on the small TV, so his ranking dropped one level.”

Wang Shun said in a tense tone: “It is still unclear why he killed this audience member, but I heard that the clown used some kind of prop to force this audience member to log into the game, and then he logged in immediately, and then killed the other party to pass the level and then came out.”

“After killing people, the Clown managed to catch up with the Deer Hunters’ group game.”

Wang Shun’s face was solemn: “In short, you have to pay special attention to this newcomer. This is a very, very dangerous newcomer.”

“Um…” Du Sanying raised his hand weakly, “This clown’s ranking seems to be rising.”

Wang Shun was stunned, then turned his head abruptly to look at his table. The clown’s ranking on it climbed up from 321 at an exaggerated speed and instantly climbed to over 200.

Mu Sicheng was shocked: “Why did it get promoted again?!”

“Such a significant rise in ranking during the league must be due to the competition.” Wang Shun quickly opened the forum and browsed through it at a glance. “The Deer Hunters lost the doubles game, so they have to play a team game. When I counted the rankings just now, their team game hadn’t ended yet.”

“The Clown’s rise in rank can only mean one thing.”

Bai Liu said calmly: “He won again, didn’t he?”

Wang Shun took a deep breath and said, “Yes, not only that, the Clown should still be the MVP of this team competition, otherwise the ranking would not have rebounded so much.”

Mu Sicheng stared at Wang Shun’s popularity ranking table for a while, then hesitantly patted Bai Liu’s shoulder: “Bai Liu, did I see it wrong…”

“It seems like your ranking is rising along with this clown?”

Mid-season viewing pool.

[System prompt: The Deer Hunter Guild won the team competition and scored 8 points]

[System prompt: The Deer Hunter Guild won one single match and one team match in this game, with a total of 9 points]

The news of victory always makes the audience crazy, especially when a new dark horse appears in the game.

But the circumstances were different this time and the first time Daniel won the competition.

The audience looked at the clown in fear and enthusiasm, wanting to scream and cheer for this neurotic and extreme newcomer, but no one dared to make a sound.

The last audience member who was killed died not long ago, and no one dares to mess with the Clown.

With such a large viewing pond, everyone greeted this victory in silence and joy.

Ignoring the extreme desire for discussion on the faces of the audience, it felt like a moment of silence for the two players who were brutally killed by the clown in the game.

Blood was dripping from Daniel’s body. This time, as soon as he logged out, he took off his clown mask and walked straight down. Halfway down, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the audience.

The audience leaned back subconsciously and swallowed nervously.

…So scary.

Daniel suddenly laughed and waved his hand like an innocent adolescent greeting his neighbor:

“I had a hard time playing today. Please remember to support me and place a bet on me. Thank you.”

“Oh, by the way.” Daniel smiled innocently, his apple green eyes full of light, “People who hate Bai Liu don’t have to support me.”

“Because I don’t need the support of the dead. I will kill you all.”

Daniel waved his hand casually, blew a halfhearted kiss with two fingers, and turned away: “Ciao (goodbye)~”
