IWYTBW - Chapter 49

 Chapter 49 Children Spoiled by Their Parents Are All Scourges. As night fell, Li Youdeng deployed a small shielding field. The two sat inside, leisurely building a campfire and preparing to roast the alien beasts they had hunted, skinned and cleaned. As Li Youdeng tore the fur off the five beast legs, she tossed the wristbands to Yi Zhen. “Here, I’ll take eight, the remaining fourteen are yours. These three teams were pretty good. Only a few white wristbands, the rest are all pink, and some are close to turning red.” “Didn’t we agree on four for you and six for me?” Yi Zhen glanced at her. “Take another one.” Li Youdeng chuckled. “Come on, you did most of the work. I just played the role of the bait and provided cover. There’s no need for me to take more. I’ll still pass the preliminaries easily.” Yi Zhen took the wristbands and stuffed them into his backpack without even looking at them. “You’re not going to destroy them?” ...

IWYTBW - Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Playing Games Requires Strategy. [Damn, it’s that guy and girl from earlier! Their acting is superb!] [Playing the pig to eat the tiger, eh?] [Haha, if those two manage to snatch the armbands from all three teams, I’ll livestream myself eating my one-to-ten scale model of the Black Dragon Executioner.] [It’s not playing the pig, you idiots. They’re definitely from Diviner, trying to wipe out both the Red and Blue teams in one fell swoop. It’s all just tactics!] The real-time commentary section exploded. Yurika quickly gathered his wits and cautiously began to speak, “Okay, we’re seeing the situation on the field change once again. What a rollercoaster ride…” His tone had become much calmer. Yurika carefully chose his words, wanting to gloss over this little hiccup with as little commentary as possible. The most important figures in this match were Xia Chaosheng, Luna, and Zhang Jiuzi – these three shining stars of the new gene...

IWYTBW - Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Those Who Come Out in the Middle of Nowhere to Stir Up Trouble Are Either Scoundrels or Villains. Three full days had passed since the Heroes Championship Tournament preliminaries began. Seventy-two hours: enough time to decide many things. This was a galaxy-wide battle for dominance, not a friendly match for exchanging techniques and pleasantries. The slaughter started immediately, contestants eliminated by the second. All eyes were on this triennial spectacle. StarNet broadcast live coverage from twenty planets, and holograms of popular contenders flickered ceaselessly above the royal capital. The Emperor of Azoth watched, the cabinet members watched, the Minister of Military Affairs watched. Ordinary people discussed it eagerly over dinner, beggars wandering the desolate border stars muttered about it, and every morning, millions of StarCoins changed hands in betting parlors across the entertainment planets. Merchants, with their preternatural sensitivity, were al...

IWYTBW - Chapter 46

 Chapter 46 Doing Good Deeds Without Leaving Your Name is the Premise of Being Awesome. A figure slowly walked out of the woods. No, “walked” still overstated his presence. He was more like a ghost drifting, or seeping, out of the dense, lush woods, a refraction of light in the void. One moment you saw him far away, and in the blink of an eye, he was standing just three or four steps from you. It was still daytime, yet some students were already sweating from fright. If it were a dimly lit night, he could certainly scare three or five timid people to death. The leader’s anger was like a bucket of ice water had been poured on it, more than half extinguished by this eerie entrance. He cautiously asked, “Who are you? This is a private matter between Imperial Heavy Industries and First Tech. No need for others to interfere!” The person who had arrived had a very strange appearance. His face was a mess of white and yellow, with raised and sunken areas, as if t...
