"boom!"

A pillar of fire shot up into the sky, raging like wildfire, turning the player on the field into ashes.

The woman with golden vertical pupils and long dragon horns waved her hand lightly, and the flames dissipated completely.

She turned around, bowed slightly, and greeted the audience.

The commentator's voice was passionate. "Another exciting game, a crushing victory!"

"Let us congratulate Xia Ye Qiu Yu for winning the competition!"

The audience erupted in warm cheers, and some enthusiastic fans held up light signs and shook them continuously.

"Qiuyu wife!"

“I love it so much!”

"Qiuyu is so amazing! So beautiful and cool! I totally love it!"

"She's my wife, of course she's excellent."

"Xia Ye Qiu Yu is your wife? I'll pee first, hurry up and wake this buddy up."

"Damn it, she's obviously my wife!"

"Hello, dear audience friends and contestants."

"Today is the third day of the qualifiers. We can see that everyone's spirits are still very high. The players in this round are also extremely outstanding. They are..."

The commentators' voices echoed throughout the arena.

The preliminaries were in full swing, with all the powerful star players basically winning all the games and advancing to the next round, and many dark horses also stood out from the crowd.

Many famous scenes were born:
On a rainy night, the city summoned the "Three Undead" to surround and beat up the opponent, the natural warrior slashed the full-level paladin in half with one sword, and Charlotte's textbook magic counterattack.
However, there are nearly 100,000 participants in this competition, and the competition will be held in 154 competition areas for twelve days.

On average, each venue hosts fifty matches per day.

Those players who advanced early are naturally preparing for the knockout rounds, and the information of professional players has been sold at sky-high prices on the black market.

As a highly-watched "professional player", Mantou is worried about his weapons.

As a player who has won all three games, he has advanced in advance and does not have to worry about a place in the knockout round.

But in the second game yesterday, he was "suicide-attacked" by a Gearsmith player.

The other party rushed over with a full load of electromagnetic bombs, almost causing his plane to crash on the spot. Fortunately, Noodles reacted quickly, turned around in the air, and took him out of the range of the explosion.

Although he was fine, the rarer quality "Red Scale Standard Lance" that had accompanied Mantou for a long time was destroyed in the battle, causing him great pain.

So, he specifically found a player of the Mechanicus and wanted to buy some equipment from them.

"You want to buy cold weapons?"

The wheelchair man on the battlefield sounded surprised.

"Wouldn't it be nice to buy a semi-automatic rifle? I have a rifle that imitates the M1 Garand rifle, and a lightning element launcher."

"No, you don't understand the romance of a lance charge!"

The wheelchair man was a little disappointed, but he still said, "As for cold weapons, the ones produced by the Mechanicus are not of the highest quality."

"By the way, if you want to get cold weapons, I recommend you go to a place, the Brass Fortress."

"The cold weapons made by the fire dwarves there are the best, and they even produced artifacts of rare quality."

"Oh?"

When he heard the word "rare", Mantou's eyes lit up when he opened the box, which had never been sold before.

"Where is this brass fortress you speak of?"

"The Elemental Plane of Fire."

after one day.

Fire Elemental Plane, Brass Fortress, outside the Imperial Office.

"A lot of people."

Mantou was holding the Fire Elemental Plane Pass he had just obtained, looking at the crowded crowd around him and the busy fire dwarves, with a very happy expression on his face.

In the center of the city, the huge statue of the dwarf god stands tall and majestic. The small brass houses are particularly exquisite, and the sound of "clang! clang!" of iron hammering can be heard everywhere.

In the distance there are factories belching steam, which appear to be newly built and quite imperial in style.

Is this the place where artifacts are made?
It was exactly what he imagined.

"But these fire dwarves all look alike, as if they were carved from the same mold."

Mantou saw a blacksmith shop in front of him with a plaque hanging on it that read "Gino's Weapon Workshop".

There were several exquisite pieces of equipment displayed on the weapon rack, all of which were weapons of "rare" quality, including his favorite spear.

"Then let's go here and take a look first."

Mantou pushed open the door and walked into the blacksmith shop. A fire dwarf appeared in front of him, making his eyes widen and his jaw almost drop.

"What the hell?"

"Second dimension?"

No wonder he was so surprised.

The fire dwarf in front of him did not fit the stereotype of a bearded, short and stocky man at all. Instead, he looked cute.

He has a round face, big eyes, delicate features, and a thin and slender figure. He wears a small lace skirt made of brass, a brass bow behind him, and brass ponytails.

You call this a dwarf?

The legendary bronze fire spirit?

This is clearly a bronze loli!
But soon, the little fire dwarf made a rough sound that was completely inconsistent with her appearance, like a fire crackling:

"You are the Starfaller?"

Gino's expression suddenly became extremely angry.

But the angry expression that appeared on this pretty face showed a different kind of shame and annoyance.

"Are you still going to ask me why I look like this?"

Mantou forced himself to hold back his smile and nodded.

Gino roared, "It's all your fault, the Starfallers!"

"There was a damn bastard who, in order to satisfy his own dirty desires, stole the molds from the Fire Dwarf Foundry and made me look like this! I don't have the strong body of other Fire Dwarves, nor their handsome beards. I have been ridiculed by other Fire Dwarves since I was born!"

"He also said that I had the cutest appearance. That damn bastard, I really want to smash his head with a brass hammer!"

"Moradin, it is because of you, the Starfallers, that I have become the thinnest and ugliest fire dwarf in the past hundred years!"

"puff"

Mantou couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Why are you laughing?"

It's hard not to laugh at this scene of a loli dwarf with a rough voice.

After venting his anger, Gino hugged his slender arms and said angrily, "Starfaller, what are you doing here again?"

Mantou said: "My weapon is broken, I want to make a new lance."

Gino snorted coldly, turned his head away with a gloomy face, and looked away deliberately: "Please find another place. Starfallers are not welcome here, and I will not serve you."

Mantou didn't feel discriminated against, he still wanted to laugh.

What is the fire dwarf version of Tsundere Loli?

Very good video material.

Being able to build weapons and make videos at the same time is simply the best of both worlds.

Speaking of which, that 2D guy from the Mechanicus is really amazing. He actually replaced the mold and used the casting of fire dwarves as the manufacturing of figures.

Thinking of this, Mantou put away his smile and said seriously: "Although we are both Starfallers, I am not him."

"You are taking your anger out on me because of his mistakes. This is unfair to me. Do you want others to know that 'Gino is a stingy fire dwarf'?"

Gino lowered his head and intertwined his two fingers.

After a long silence, he whispered, "What you said seems to make sense."

"sorry"

Gino's voice was as soft as the hum of a mosquito.

Fire dwarves are a loyal and honest race. They follow the rules, rarely lie, and often recognize their mistakes.

"now it's right!"

"It's okay to make mistakes, as long as you have the courage to admit them and actively correct them."

Mantou said with a smile.

He looked at the Loli Fire Dwarf and his tone became passionate.

"Gino, since you were born this way and your appearance cannot be changed, why don't you make your inner self better?"

“Life is never determined by appearance.”

Mantou looked at her with a burning gaze and patted the loli fire dwarf's shoulder earnestly.

"The beauty or ugliness of appearance is not important, the goodness or evil of the heart is the most important! If you look like this, you need to work harder to change yourself!"

He raised his hand, pointed into the distance, and spoke in a strong tone.

"I believe that as long as you work hard and treat others kindly, you can become a great fire dwarf even without a strong body!"

"You, you're right!"

Gino clenched his fists. This innocent fire dwarf, who had never tasted any chicken soup for the soul, was obviously touched.

If he was not a creature of the fire element and could not secrete liquid, tears would have welled up in his eyes.

"Mr. Mantou, you are different from them. You are a good starfaller."

"I will make the best equipment for you now! I want everyone to know that I, Gino, can also become a great fire dwarf!"

"Okay!"

Mantou smiled and nodded.

Very good!
Best of both worlds!

Not only did I create weapons, I also got new video material. How cool is it!
Suddenly, he found that the fire dwarf loli tugged at his clothes and said awkwardly: "I think what you said is very meaningful."

"Are you interested in meeting my friends? They should be happy to make equipment for you."

"of course can."

Mantou turned around and was stunned to see several fire dwarves with weird looks walking towards him.

Some of them grew into robot cats, some looked like Koreans who had plastic surgery, some were molded into Ultraman, and some were even Transformers.

The variety of games was so diverse that Mantou thought he had entered the wrong game.

Who on earth could have done this?

What a beast!

And this guy has quite a lot of hobbies.

"They are all victims of that bastard Falling Star. They are also unable to integrate into the Fire Dwarf society due to their appearance."

"Fuck, this is a wild way"

Mantou couldn't help muttering to himself and stretched out his hand.

"and many more--"

"Ok?"

The loli fire dwarf who was about to forge equipment turned around with a curious expression.

"Are you interested in developing new business, such as tourist visits and paid photo services for the Fallen Starmen?"

A few days later, Mantou, wearing brand new equipment, appeared in the audience seats of the first competition area with a beaming look on his face.

Singo looked at the armor on his body and the gleaming lance with a surprised expression: "You robbed a bank?"

"What bank robbery? This is something my friend built especially for me!"

"What kind of friend is this? He can actually create rare quality equipment? Although it doesn't have much magic added to it, the basic stats are very high."

Mantou thought for a moment and answered seriously: "Little Lolita, Doraemon, Korean plastic surgery face, Transformers, Hatsune Miku"

Singo: “.”

Mantou smiled and said, "Don't worry about these details, aren't we here to watch the game?
"It seems like there is a match with Brother Zhan Kuang today?"

Singo said calmly, "Not only is Tiansheng Zhan Kuang, but there are also several professional players who are playing their last qualifying match today. We can take this opportunity to see their level."

"Where's Sister Qiuyu?"

"She had so many fans in the audience that it turned into an autograph session. I turned around and sent her the video."

"Brilliant."

Mantou couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Singo continued: "Unfortunately, it seems that the professional players have not yet revealed their cards."

"There are too many people signing up for the qualifiers, so it's rare for professional players to meet each other. Most of their fights are crushing, and you can't really tell much."

"Especially those professional mage players, such as Charlotte, who has been using Fireball. It is impossible to figure out his magic."

Mantou crossed his arms and said slowly, "Xin Gou, you are still too cautious. I never care about the situation of my opponent."

"If an enemy comes, we will stop him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. The main point is that I am not afraid of anyone!"

Singo glanced at him and said coldly, "You will be beaten to a pulp later, but don't go crying to the referee and regret your actions."

The referee's voice sounded.

"No. 12533, a natural born warrior."

"Glory belongs to the natural warrior!"

"Born as a warrior, I chop down everything!"

There was a burst of warm cheers from the audience.

The natural warrior is also a long-established profession, well-known in various major games, and has its own fan club in "Erezaigai".

"Brother Zhan Kuang is here!"

Mantou also looked excited.

Rather than performing on the field and being chased and bombed, he prefers to watch others fight in the audience.

"No. 23335, Poem of the Night."

When they heard the name, the audience was boiling again, but this time it was not cheering, but anger.

Those players whose items had been stolen from were filled with righteous indignation and wished they could personally go on the field to punish Night Poetry.

"What the hell? You bastard!"

"Good good!"

"From now on, I am a fan of Brother Zhan Kuang!"

"Brother Zhan Kuang, chop off the head of this evil-minded black beast!"

Soon, under the urging of the referee, the shirtless Natural Born War Maniac and the Black Robed Night Poetry came to the venue.

In the audience, Singo said calmly, "This is interesting. I've learned about Night Poetry. Although he's a beast, he's still very powerful in some areas."

Mantou was a little curious.

"So, Brother Zhan Kuang is at risk of losing?"

"Of course not. Just keep reading and you'll know."

The referee's command echoed in the venue of the first competition area.

"Game start!"

Night Poet is a level 8 rogue player who has chosen the Thief branch.

In the first two games, he used the cloud technique, his agility and quick-handed proficiency to fool his opponents and even stole all their equipment.

At this moment, Night Poetry looked towards the natural war maniac in the distance.

"This guy is a bit tricky."

"But such a great god must have a lot of good equipment."

"No matter what, let's muddy the water first, and then fish in troubled waters!"

He threw a smoke bomb straight forward, filling the field with smoke and obscuring the view.

"Damn you black beast!"

"Damn, I can't see anything clearly!"

"Damn it, you are indeed a black beast, even interfering with the game!"

Suddenly, a roar came from the smoke.

"Ahhhh-"

The majestic air wave spread out from the natural war maniac as the center, dispersing all the smoke and also shaking away the Night Poetry that touched his hand.

Night Poetry looked down at his empty hands, stunned: "What?"

"He, he didn't bring any equipment!"

"All he had was the axe!"

"It's okay, I still have a way!"

Various smoke bombs, sonic boom bombs, interference arrows, poison bottles, and charm scrolls were taken out from Night Poetry's robe and thrown at the natural war maniac.

The various sinister and cruel additional effects are enough to make one's scalp tingle.

But he didn't expect that as a high-level berserker, the natural warrior possessed the "selfless rage" path characteristic, and was almost immune to all control methods during the rage.

The enemies have nowhere to hide from his bestial fighting instincts!
"Death!"

The natural war maniac with red eyes raised his battle axe high, let out a violent war cry, and chopped down hatefully.

"boom!"

Blood splattered, soaking the black robe. The axe was so powerful that even the earth was split.

"Fighting is fun!"

The audience cheered with unprecedented enthusiasm, not only cheering for the strength of Tiansheng Zhan Kuang, but also celebrating someone's tragic death. (End of this chapter)
