Ye Shen suddenly felt a little embarrassed; she had indeed overreacted just now.
She hadn't expected that Qin Feng would completely disregard her, showing no reaction whatsoever upon seeing her appearance, which left her feeling somewhat defeated.
So, she stammered, "N-nothing, I was just comparing our appearances. Don't misunderstand."
Qin Feng was speechless. While his appearance wasn't exactly handsome, he was by no means ugly, not the kind of face that immediately evoked disgust. Therefore, trying to provoke an emotional reaction from him based on appearance wouldn't work. Moreover, on this planet, strength was paramount; appearance was entirely unimportant.
Seeing Ye Shen puffing out her cheeks, a look of defeat on her face, Qin Feng decided not to dwell on her rudeness towards him.
He said, "I'm going to accept the opponent's challenge and need to rest and recuperate for three days. During these three days, do not disturb me; I need to prepare."
With that, Qin Feng used the chat tool he had just purchased to send out a red announcement.
"Cheng Yezi, I accept your challenge! Three days later, we will duel at coordinates 195, 166. Life and death are uncertain. No reply is needed for this message; I will arrive at this location in three days. — Qin Feng!"
After sending the message, Qin Feng collected his thoughts and immersed his consciousness in his Red Alert domain to develop his strength.
Right now, money was still the most important thing to him, along with the occasional boxes that appeared on the map. He needed to control his troops to pick up these boxes to increase their star level, thereby enhancing their combat power.
Of course, the items obtained from the boxes weren't always stars; money, base vehicles, or tanks were also useful to him.
He needed to build barracks to increase troop deployment speed, sell Tanya for money, and also control his troops to search for boxes.
He had a busy three days ahead of him.
At this moment, Ye Shen was stunned upon hearing Qin Feng's words!
Seeing Qin Feng already closing his eyes to rest, she also immersed her consciousness in the chat panel to see what everyone was saying. When she saw the red text Qin Feng had sent, she was greatly surprised. She hadn't expected him to be serious!
He had actually agreed to a duel with Cheng Yezi!
If he lost, he would lose his life!
As teammates, if Qin Feng died, what would she do alone?
Over the past few days, she had established mutual trust with Qin Feng and also greatly recognized his strength, as he could already challenge Commander-level monsters alone. Teaming up with him would bring her significant benefits. But now, her teammate had rashly accepted a death match challenge from the second-ranked powerhouse in the region. Wasn't this suicidal?
Ye Shen became very nervous. She truly couldn't understand what kind of person Qin Feng was!
He usually appeared very cautious, only acting during the day, and his first reaction when encountering powerful monsters was to flee. Yet now, when faced with a challenge from the second-ranked powerhouse in the region, he had accepted it!
This was completely contrary to the word "cautious."
Why was a person sometimes cautious and sometimes bold?
Ye Shen was confused.
Meanwhile, messages began to scroll rapidly in the regional chat channel, with everyone showing great interest in this death match.
"It's that scumbag Qin Feng! He actually accepted the challenge from the great Cheng Yezi? This guy is looking to die!"
"Heh heh... I originally thought he was a coward, but now it seems he's not a coward, but a reckless fool, and the brainless kind! He thinks his strength can rival the great Cheng Yezi? What a joke!"
"Exactly, I also think this person has gone mad. He thinks that because he has the strength to challenge Commander-level monsters, he can challenge the great Cheng Yezi. He probably hasn't realized that since the great Cheng Yezi reached second place, his ranking has never changed, not because Cheng Yezi's strength is insufficient, but because he simply disdains challenging ordinary monsters!"
"To dare to compete with the great Cheng Yezi is simply asking for death."
"This Qin Feng is truly ignorant and fearless, with the courage of a newborn calf that fears no tiger. But unfortunately, reality will teach him a harsh lesson. No... he probably won't have a chance to be taught by reality, because in three days, he will be a corpse."
"How pathetic. He thinks that because his ranking reached the top 8, he can challenge the second-ranked powerhouse? How laughable. I bet this person named Qin Feng won't even be able to withstand one move from the great Cheng Yezi!"
"I once heard that the great Cheng Yezi's strength is unfathomable, possessing terrifying means to kill from a thousand miles away. I wonder if it's true?"
"You guys can't put pressure on the great Cheng Yezi. Since Qin Feng dared to accept the death match under these circumstances, it means he's prepared. We can't be careless."
"I feel that this Qin Feng also has some ability. After all, he can challenge Commander-level monsters alone. Although the great Cheng Yezi's strength is also unfathomable, when two tigers fight, there might be casualties. I feel this death match isn't that simple."
"Excellent, finally some excitement! I will definitely go to the coordinate location to watch this battle. I can't wait for three days to come quickly."
"Hello everyone, my name is Wu Wei, ranked fifteenth. I am currently a member of the Peace Alliance. I am now setting up a betting pool. Members of the Peace Alliance can come and place bets for a prize. Those who bet on the great Cheng Yezi winning will receive 101 for every 100. Those who bet on Qin Feng will receive 10 for every 1! I declare in advance that this betting pool is not fixed and will change randomly based on the number of bettors. Because if too many people bet on the great Cheng Yezi and no one bets on Qin Feng, I will go bankrupt. So, those who want to bet for a prize, come find me at Peace Alliance 195.144."
"Wow! These odds are a bit scary. Isn't it obvious that the great Cheng Yezi must win? It seems that great Wu Wei knows the strength of the great Cheng Yezi, otherwise, you'd go bankrupt with these odds. If too many people bet on the great Cheng Yezi, you'll go broke. But this is good, it finally brings some excitement to our boring lives. There are so few monsters these days, and life feels so uninspired. Now, with the death match in three days, we finally have something to do."
"I'm going to bet on the great Cheng Yezi now. Although the odds are relatively low, making a little more money is also beneficial, hahahaha..."
"I'm going to bet too. The great Cheng Yezi will surely win!"
"I'm a bit strange and like to bet on underdogs. And I don't have much money. I think betting on Qin Feng is more cost-effective. Although I know I'll definitely lose, it doesn't matter much with this money. I'm going to bet 10 gold on Qin Feng to win!"
"Bet 100 yuan on the great Cheng Yezi winning! You'll get 110 in three days! And if you bet 10 yuan on Qin Feng winning, your 10 yuan will be gone in three days! Hahahahaha..."
