Help, I've become a paper man

Compared with the previous round, the competition venue has undergone new changes. The arena is larger than the third round, the supporting equipment is more complete, and the overall look is more impressive. When Song Yi first entered, he even saw a game console. It's a pity that the age limit in this broken world is strict, and it also applies to the copy. As a baby in the stardust, he still cannot use entertainment equipment with age restrictions.

This wave of entering the competition early, at this moment, has become boring.

Song Yi sighed, opened his mailbox, and checked the so-called new rules. The first thing he saw was "Please allocate your time reasonably. This round of competition will only have two games in one day." He subconsciously complained, "Playing two games in one day is such a waste of time."

Then he heard a gasp coming from the side. Song Yi looked over and saw the stranger Stardust holding a piece of paper, shaking with fear. Before Song Yi could ask, the man caught sight of Song Yi's gaze, hugged the paper in his arms, and ran away like a thief.

Song Yi didn't understand, but it didn't matter. He had plenty of time, which was equivalent to a longer vacation. He could go home to see Yan Changyue in his free time.

Thinking of this, Song Yi changed his previous frustration and prepared to work with surging emotions. He continued to look through the emails and saw the message describing that in the fourth round of the competition, a new rule appeared, which meant that every player needed to pass the "supervision" test before entering the next round. Song Yi's new opponent was also an old acquaintance, and it was exactly what Sui Yuesheng had worried about before - he was going to face Yun Su.

It was not Yunsu’s choice, but the system’s assignment. It seems that they cannot escape the match with the big guys after all.

"Wait? The opponent is not chosen by the examiner, right? It is random?" Song Yi asked in his heart.

"The system has considered the situations of each player and assigned the most suitable opponent to everyone."

The rather considerate answer fell into Song Yi's ears. He subconsciously became alert, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the problem for a while. He just continued to flip through the emails. Unlike the previous mosaics, now not only can he see his opponent in advance, but the battles of others can also be clearly seen. Even if he doesn't know the other instructors and doesn't know their specific identities, the exclamations and wails of the people around him have already given the answer while he was flipping through the emails.

"I'm really sorry for being so presumptuous. The time was not wasted at all. I just spoke too loudly." Song Yi complained.

Even if he was playing against a big boss, he might not have enough time to prepare. Thinking of this, Song Yi suddenly remembered something, and he turned to look through Sui Yuesheng's event schedule. When he opened the email just now, Noah's Ark had been updated again, and he could jump directly to his own game. He looked through it again, and it was also in the downward order. Since there was nothing after that, it was very likely to be ranked in the front.

But no matter what, Song Yi didn't expect that this would be arranged so early, and the protagonist was directly arranged in the first scene, which is also... amazingly unethical.

Song Yi asked in his heart: "Did you choose the protagonist with malicious intent?"

Otherwise, why would you bully an honest person?

"He is the most suitable person."

Noah's Ark gave an answer, and both the content and the answer itself were beyond Song Yi's expectations. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard the system prompt sound, and he had received a new email.

Song Yi originally thought that maybe Noah's Ark was playing tricks on him, but this thought disappeared without a trace after he clicked on it, leaving only a sigh. Because in the sender's column, the words "Xuan Duoduo" were written, and then the content of the letter said:

"We agreed in the copy that I would borrow weapons from you and I would pay the relevant fees after leaving. However, I don't have that much money at the moment, so I can only deduct them from you in the form of materials after conversion according to their current market price.

If you feel it is not enough, you can reply to me or send me a message, and I will give you the supplement after I come back from the copy.

Good luck with your race.”

Song Yi sighed, without even looking at the attached material, and directly pressed the "Return" option, rejecting it neatly and returning it to Xuanyueduo. After two seconds of thinking, he switched back to the friend interface and sent a message to the other party, saying:

"It's okay, they're just some weapons, don't take it to heart. I'm Yan Changyue's gigolo, I can steal Yan Changyue's money to support you."

He typed out the jokes easily. He originally thought that after sending the email, Xuanyuduo would quickly enter the copy as the girl said, and would not be able to discover his nonsense for the time being. However, he never thought that the sentence "coming back from the copy" was fictitious. Xuanyuduo just said it so that he would accept it without burden. Just like his random "it's okay" at this time, he was trying to eliminate the other party's psychological burden.

But Xuanyunduo was suffering another kind of torture at this moment. After receiving the message, she was stunned for a moment when faced with content that she had never thought of. After a few seconds, relying on her understanding of Song Yi, she gradually came to her senses and understood what the message wanted to express. However, she had set herself to "come back from the copy" before she could reply. Replying immediately would expose her. Even if she had a thousand thoughts, she could only suppress them and wait for a few seconds before replying.

Xuanyunduo: Would Boss Yan promote you like this when he knows you are away from home?

Song Yi: Oh, you’re back so quickly.

Xuanyuduo: The copy has a specific flow rate, and most of the time it happens in the blink of an eye.

Song Yi: What type of copy is this?

At this point in the conversation, Song Yi was simply curious, but Xuanyunduo began to sweat profusely and began to think about the possibilities he had guessed. In the end, Xuanyunduo chose to believe his brain. After Boss Yan's plug-in went off work, this person's intuition might not still be online, so she responded fluently.

Xuanyuduo: Trade secret.

Xuanyunduo: When is your game? I will go watch it when I have time.

It seems like he is trying to change the subject... Song Yi thought so and took a few more glances at the message, but he still suppressed his doubts and the feeling that something was wrong. However, he still replied "Let me see" and confirmed the news of the game before making a reply.

Song Yi: Friday afternoon, four days left.

Song Yi: There is enough time to prepare. I will go to watch the game later. The people I know are in the first game.

Song Yi: I almost forgot to ask, are you lying to me?

His question was so sudden that Xuanyunduo was frightened and trembled. She couldn't guess where she was exposed. She also didn't expect that Song Yi didn't doubt her previous perfunctory words, but the second sentence would expose her flaws. However, she hadn't opened the email yet and didn't find that it had been returned. How could she admit it? She could only bite the bullet and reply.

Xuanyunduo: I'm not lying to you, I will go to watch it. You go watch the game first, I have things to do too.
