MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Panda Novel

However, Frost Blade had underestimated the tolerance of Abundance of Gold… Even though Frost Blade had patience, Abundance of Gold had even more patience.

With one of them standing near the side of the arena and the other hidden in [Stealth], the entire standstill had lasted for almost ten minutes and yet neither of them had any plans of changing the status quo. Wang Yu and the rest were this close to falling asleep from watching the “battle”.

The current situation resembled that of those fights scenes in martial arts novels whereby whichever party made the first move, he would have already lost half the battle…

Seeing that Frost Blade had no intentions of appearing anytime soon, Abundance of Gold thought to himself, “D*mn it, this brat sure has patience. Seems like he is waiting for the moment I drop my guard down to strike. I have to more alert.”

Frost Blade, on the other hand, thought to himself, “This brat sure can stand, seems like I have to wait for him to drop his guard down…”

Just when both players were sizing each other up, the audience in the arena were frustrated by what was going on. It was already boring enough for themselves to stare blankly into space alone, much less having to pay to sit in the arena just to look at people do nothing.

“F*ck, are these two going to fight or not? They have been standing still and doing nothing for ten minutes already!”

“Exactly! They still dare claim that they are experts? What kind of game are they even playing?”

“D*mn it, I want a refund for my ticket!”

The audience was starting to get rowdy… one of them even cast a magic spell into the sky to add on to the chaos. It was only until the moment an NPC annihilated that player instantly, did the crowd start to calm down.

While the drama was occurring in the arena, the two players still had yet to move a single inch.

“The two of you should fight… What’s the point of standing still?”

Seeing both of them having no intention of moving at all, the audience was on the verge of tears…

The players from Quan Zhen Sect and War Is Peace were all frustrated by the standstill. A highly anticipated and exciting match was ruined just like that by the two brats that seemed to have turned into dummies… If this matter were to be spread out, it would be extremely embarrassing for both parties.

“The rest of you all can continue watching. I’ll take a nap first…” Seeing that neither of them wanted to take any action 20 minutes into the match, Fearless could no longer bear it and finally admitted defeat, implying that it was already a miracle that he lasted so long.

At this moment, the two players on the stage were starting to lose patience as well. Abundance of Gold placed his shield on the ground, trying to act as if he had let his guard down, in hopes of luring Frost Blade into taking action.

Frost Blade, on the other hand, would occasionally cancel his [Stealth], trying to lure Abundance of Gold into attacking him.

The both of them took turns to tease each other. You throw your weapon and I’ll throw a piece of my equipment. The entire scene looked like a strip show instead of a battle.

The audience was getting increasingly depressed. What are these two cheap b*stards doing? Don’t they know that the match timer was about to end?

After both Frost Blade and Abundance of Gold had thrown away their eleventh piece of equipment, they started to realise that this method of provocation wasn’t going to work. Thus, they started to use words instead.

“Do you dare come over?”

“If you leave your [Stealth], I will definitely go over!”

“Coward!”

“Trash!”

The both of them started cursing at each other, flashing the middle finger at the other party. Soon, a few minutes passed and the countdown timer for the battle had reached 10 minutes.

The audience in the arena was on the verge of going crazy. What was supposed to be a 1 vs 1 battle that could have easily been settled within one or two minutes had been dragged for more than half an hour.

Ignoring Frost Blade, a renowned expert like Abundance of Gold had actually stooped down to such a level in a battle…

Little Fly, who was on the verge of tears, turned to War Is Peace and asked, “What happened to Old Jin? Why isn’t he taking any action?”

At the same time, Wang Yu said to Mu Zi Xian, who was on the verge of sleeping, “That Big Golden Bird or whatever definitely isn’t afraid of Frost stabbing him to death. Rather, he is afraid of Frost stabbing him and escaping his clutches, that’s why he isn’t moving.”

According to the rules of the competition, once the battle timer has ended, the victor of the battle will be decided based on whichever player has lost the most percentage of his HP.

Therefore, even though Frost Blade might not be able to defeat Abundance of Gold in a head-on fight, if he were to stab him once and make a run for it, Abundance of Gold would definitely be unable to catch up to him. After all, Frost Blade was playing an agility-based job class.

“Why hasn’t that Frost tried to stab the opponent?” Mu Zi Xian asked curiously.

“Frost probably has yet to realise this point. Furthermore, the Golden Big Bird has yet to move from his spot, thus Frost has no chance of attempting an attack,” Wang Yu explained.

Another 5 minutes flew by and yet both parties have yet to make a move. Abundance of Gold couldn’t tolerate it any further and said, “Trash, if you still refuse to come over and fight, the countdown timer for the battle will end soon.”

“Then let it end, at the very least I will be able to get a draw from this…” Frost Blade retorted after hearing Abundance of Gold’s provocation, promptly glancing at the timer above his head.

Frost Blade knew from the start that he wasn’t Abundance of Gold’s match. Being able to clinch a tie here would be a worthy trade for Frost Blade.

“You only have to land a hit on me within the time remaining and you could possibly win the match.” Abundance of Gold teased.

“?” After hearing what Abundance of Gold said, Frost Blade was momentarily stunned. He then finally came to the realisation that he did not have to kill his opponent in order to win the battle.

Thinking up till this point, Frost Blade swiftly took out a gun and shot at Abundance of Gold.

Abundance of Gold cheekily smiled, promptly raising his shield up to block the shot.

“Clang!” The sound of metal colliding rang out and not a scratch was seen on the surface of the shield. After seeing this, Frost Blade frowned. A Guardian wasn’t afraid of long-distance shots, therefore he had to use magic tools instead.

After coming to this realisation, Frost Blade started to search through his inventory for an item that could fit the criteria, and soon, he stumbled upon a paper bag. Following which, Frost Blade revealed a sly smile and promptly entered into [Stealth] once more.

Seeing Frost Blade vanish, Abundance of Gold became nervous. He hurriedly leaned his back against the side of the arena once more and raised his shield to protect his body, revealing a serious expression.

“Over here!”

At this moment, Abundance of Gold suddenly heard a voice ring out at his side and promptly turned towards the source of the sound. Soon after, Frost Blade appeared nearby, on the left of Abundance of Gold.

Upon seeing this, Abundance of Wealth swiftly reached his left hand out and attempted to grab Frost Blade. Following which, Frost Blade wave his hand and soon, a shroud of white mist appeared, causing Abundance of Gold to lose track of his target.

Seizing the opportunity, Frost Blade swiftly dashed towards the front of Abundance of Gold and stabbed at the area underneath his ribs…

-2214

The damage output floated above Abundance of Gold’s head. The attack took away less than one-tenth of Abundance of Gold’s maximum HP.

At the end of the day, Abundance of Gold was still a renowned expert. The moment Frost Blade pierced him, he was able to guess the location of Frost Blade with his eyes closed. Following which, he promptly activated [Taunt].

Frost Blade apparently knew that Abundance of Gold would follow up with such a move, thus, he immediately activated [Vanish] the moment he stabbed Abundance of Gold.

[Vanish] provided the user with 3 seconds of the [Invulnerable] status. Within this duration, Abundance of Gold’s [Taunt] was ineffective. After achieving his goal, Frost Blade immediately sneaked away over to the other side of the arena. When Abundance of Gold finally managed to react to the situation, the CD on Frost Blade’s [Stealth] had been completed, and once again, he vanished from sight.

“F*ck!!”

Abundance of Gold had initially thought that so long as he was able to lure Frost Blade over to fight, he would definitely be able to emerge as the victor. Who would have known that Frost Blade was so crafty? Realising that he had played himself, Abundance of Gold bellowed in anger.

After crying out in rage, Abundance of Gold started to charging around randomly on the arena, in hopes of hitting Frost Blade who was in [Stealth].

Even though the arena was small, Frost Blade’s speed greatly exceeded that of Abundance of Gold. Furthermore, he was in [Stealth]… Five minutes later, following the system announcing Frost Blade’s victory, both players were sent out of the arena.
