You Ditched an R-Rank, Now That I’m an SSR, You Wanna Cry? Chapter 62

Seven consecutive wins in the placement matches.

Mo Shiyu hummed happily, in a great mood. "I wonder what rank I'll lock in after ten consecutive wins!"

No surprise.

Her SSR felt like a treasure trove, the more she dug, the more surprises she found!

Little Black was equally smug. "Hmph, those guys actually dared to underestimate us. Now they know how awesome our Xia Yuan the Great is!"

Mo Shiyu had planned to keep queuing for ranked matches, but suddenly her stomach started rumbling.

So she suggested going out for lunch first, then coming back to continue the placements.

Xia Yuan agreed.

He didn't really feel hungry, but old habits from his previous life of three meals a day still made him want to eat something.

She hadn't finished her sentence.

Mo Shiyu casually tossed her into the Spirit Tamer space, then suddenly realized the little one had been saying something and asked Xia Yuan, "Did Little Black just say something?"

Xia Yuan shrugged, indicating he didn't know.

The two of them exited the Spirit Tamer ranked space.

Xia Yuan stretched, rubbed his stiff cheeks, and grinned:

"Playing other roles is really not easy!"

"You have to smile without showing teeth, keep your expression restrained. Being natural feels so much more comfortable!"

Mo Shiyu mocked from the side, "I actually think the aloof SSR vibe is pretty good, at least they talk less..."

They headed to the hotel restaurant.

The best hotel in Chongyang City naturally served lavish lunch fare.

When Mo Shiyu and Xia Yuan entered, the other young spirit tamers participating in the Peak Tournament had already arrived.

Seeing Xia Yuan was like seeing a ghost, everyone hurriedly made way!

Come on!

When the Demon King arrives, you naturally show respect.

Otherwise, if he doesn't like your face, he might smack you!

They were provincial elites and lucky players of Yun Chuan Province, but they truly felt like they weren't from the same dimension as Mo Shiyu and Xia Yuan!

That four-star dungeon time of fifteen seconds was a mountain they could never climb over!

Xia Yuan cheerfully greeted familiar faces:

"You guys are here for lunch too? Come in, don't stand on ceremony!"

Despite saying that, he still swaggered forward and was the first to walk in.

Just as he entered, he saw even more familiar people.

No doubt, it was the second-place finisher of this provincial competition, Zhou Ke, and his SSR Platinum Dragon King.

What surprised Xia Yuan was that the Platinum Dragon King, normally not exactly small, had shrunk into a mini form now, about human-sized.

It sat obediently beside Zhou Ke, wearing a white neck scarf, elegantly using knife and fork to eat.

The table was piled high with plates upon plates of food!

The scene was inexplicably comical.

Xia Yuan couldn't hold back his laughter. "Hahaha... Silly Dragon, I didn't expect you could get this small!"

The Platinum Dragon King perked up at the voice, ears standing tall, eyes wide.

It nervously leaned toward Zhou Ke and muttered softly, "master, it's over, the Killing God is here, what do we do?"

Zhou Ke ignored it, lifting his gold-rimmed glasses and merely correcting, "It's not Silly Dragon. Its full name is Platinum Dragon King!"

After casually picking some delicacies, Xia Yuan picked up a plate and, acting as if he'd always been part of the group, sat down with them. "Alright, no problem."

Mo Shiyu had no choice but to follow suit.

The restaurant atmosphere instantly stiffened.

Everyone silently watched Xia Yuan's table, afraid the two SSRs might start fighting over a word!

If that happened, they wouldn't even be able to run away!

While eating, Xia Yuan asked:

"So, Silly Dragon can freely change its size?"

Zhou Ke was cold and didn't want to answer.

He really had no sense of boundaries; who wanted to sit at their table?

But seeing this, the Platinum Dragon King immediately obediently nodded, secretly stuffing a piece of steak into its mouth.

Xia Yuan glanced at the especially reserved Platinum Dragon King and couldn't help asking:

"By the way, are you always this introverted?"

The Platinum Dragon King shyly scratched its head and spoke earnestly, "Not really. I'm just a little... reserved around strangers. With friends, I can be a chatterbox!"

Xia Yuan laughed and patted its shoulder. "You're kind of weird. You're a dragon, you're strong, and you're still so polite!"

Mo Shiyu: "......"

Zhou Ke: "......"

And you have the nerve to call others weird?

Xia Yuan asked again, "Do you play games normally?"

The Platinum Dragon King's eyes lit up instantly. "What games? Contracted Spirit Alliance? Spirit Tamers' Action? Or Fearless Contracted Spirits! I play them all!"

Xia Yuan had known this Silly Dragon was a fellow enthusiast, and immediately took out WeChat. "Add me. I'll pull you into our gaming group. We can play together sometime!"

Platinum Dragon King: "Yes yes!"

It was pulling out a small phone when it suddenly realized something, hurriedly glancing at Zhou Ke's expression and weakly asking, "master, can I add Xia Yuan?"

Zhou Ke sighed, "It's your freedom. You don't need to ask me."

The Platinum Dragon King cheerfully added Xia Yuan on WeChat, growing bolder and losing some of its earlier reserve.

It figured people who play games usually weren't bad!

Mo Shiyu inwardly grumbled. Xia Yuan's gaming crew was getting bigger and bigger; she half-wondered if he planned to form a professional team!

Seeing the atmosphere calm down, the others relaxed and happily enjoyed the hotel's cuisine.

But their happiness didn't last long.

The restaurant windows facing outside suddenly exploded, shards scattering everywhere!

Xia Yuan and the Platinum Dragon King stood up almost simultaneously, shielding others from the shattered glass.

One used unrestrained force.

One used wings.

The hotel's alarm screamed loudly!

"Attention!"

"This is not a drill!"

"Detection of a sudden four-star dungeon disaster nearby. All personnel must evacuate immediately and proceed to the nearest underground shelter!"

The hotel manager and staff sprinted over to evacuate the diners.

But they found the people in the restaurant were unnaturally calm, still eating as if they hadn't heard the alarm!

"Everyone, evacuate now!"

"Four-star dungeon disaster!"

The staff couldn't help shouting.

Seeing them panic, a young spirit tamer smiled and soothed, "Don't worry, there's no need to evacuate. There's nowhere safer than where we are!"

Another spirit tamer added, "Four-star dungeon, huh? Even if the real-world version is a bit stronger, if you step out to pee and come back, these two will have taken care of it..."

Xia Yuan looked at the glass shards on his plate and frowned slightly. "What a waste. Wasting gourmet food is a crime against romance!"

Platinum Dragon King: "If you hate waste, give it to me. I'm not afraid of glass shards."

Xia Yuan: "Then eat it."

Platinum Dragon King didn't hesitate, grabbed the three plates of food from them, and in the stunned gazes of those nearby, literally tipped the food into its mouth, puffing out its cheeks, chewing a few times, and gulping everything down with audible chomps...

Xia Yuan gave a thumbs-up, amazed. "Bro, you've got an iron stomach!"

The four-star dungeon disaster had arrived!

Outside it was already chaos, all sorts of noisy commotion overturning the area.

Xia Yuan looked toward the dungeon portal that had just appeared not far away and belched, "Digesting after a meal. Silly Dragon, you coming?"

Platinum Dragon King nodded earnestly, "Yes. If we don't finish it quickly, a lot of people will get hurt!"
