While Wang Xun was still letting his mind wander, the game interface continued to display content.

【Player 'My Second Brother is Invincible' has initiated a duel with you!】

The sudden vibration of his phone snapped Wang Xun back to reality.

He was being challenged already?

【Faced with the duel, what is your choice?】

【1. Decline the duel, you will lose some items from your backpack.】

【2. Accept the challenge, after defeating the opponent you will randomly obtain some items from their backpack.】

Wang Xun glanced at his soul points, which had recovered a bit, and directly chose to accept the challenge.

Are you kidding me? They're coming right at me, why wouldn't I fight back? It's not like I'll really die.

Besides, Wang Xun didn't think he would necessarily lose.

【You have accepted the player's challenge, an intense duel is about to begin.】

【Determining the strength of both sides...】

【Congratulations, you have easily defeated the player 'My Second Brother is Invincible', you have gained some experience.】

???

A string of question marks popped into Wang Xun's mind. Was this the 'fierce duel' described in the text? It was over just like that?!

This game really challenged Wang Xun's common sense; it was just too unexpected.

......

In another city, a young man named Sun Long was squatting on a street corner, holding his phone.

【You have slain the sea beast 'Black Demon Fish', you have gained some experience.】

【Congratulations, you have leveled up, current level 3.】

【You have obtained Duel Scroll*1 (item).】

【You have obtained Healing Potion*1.】

“This 'Black Demon Fish' gave a lot of experience, it actually made me level up directly.” A smile appeared on Sun Long's face, “Haha, I really am a genius.”

“Let's try this duel scroll.”

【Matching a suitable opponent...】

【Match successful, the opponent has accepted your challenge.】

【The opponent directly chose to attack.】

【You are dead!】

Sun Long stared blankly at the text on the panel.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

“How is this possible? I got one-shotted? This matchmaking system is broken!”

Just as Sun Long was complaining, the following text directly interrupted him.

【Because you died in the duel, you will lose some items to pay for the opponent's prize.】

Seeing this, Sun Long quickly checked his backpack, and the scene before him made him dumbfounded!

“Damn it! My items!” Sun Long let out a miserable cry, then angrily threw his phone on the ground.

Passersby nearby were startled and couldn't help but avoid Sun Long's location.

Faintly, many people were pointing and whispering about him.

......

【Congratulations, you have won the duel.】

【You have obtained Healing Potion*1; Gold Coins*50】

【You have obtained Item Support Scroll (Rare)】

Wang Xun saw his gains and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, obviously very satisfied with this harvest.

Curiously dragging the healing potion in his backpack, a glass bottle with a faint red glow appeared on Wang Xun's table.

Last time when he equipped a weapon, he had the strange idea that 'this thing can be taken out'.

Obviously, the scene before him confirmed this.

【Healing Potion: A special potion refined from unique materials, it can rapidly heal wounds, but long-term consumption may lead to a reduction in lifespan.】

With this thing, I've got something that can save my life in a critical moment in the real world.

Let's continue reading.

【Support Scroll (Rare Item): This is a scroll with magical power. After any two parties sign a contract, they can enter a duel space together when one of them is challenged.】

The simple description shows the practicality of this item.

This time, a new system has also been unlocked.

【Your level has been increased, current level 5】

【The friend system has been unlocked. You can add friends based on their name or character nickname.】

【This system can be used for chatting and trading.】

Wang Xun rubbed his temples. This duel has revealed a lot of hidden information in this game.

First, there are likely a large number of players in this game.

Second, according to his experiments, items from this game can also flow into the real world.

It seems that this world is really going to become turbulent.

【The pirates' invasion was defeated by the city guards, and you have gained a lot this time.】

【But just as you were about to leave, another soldier stopped you.】

【The city lord here, who is also the lord, Baron Borg, has heard of your deeds and is very interested in you, wanting to summon you.】

【This seems to be good news, what is your choice?】

【1. Follow the soldier to meet Baron Borg.】

【2. Refuse the invitation and do your own thing.】

【3. Bribe the soldier to learn more about the situation.】

With a cautious attitude, Wang Xun chose the third option. Along with the disappearance of a silver coin, Wang Xun also gained some information from the text.

From the text feedback from the soldier, Wang Xun learned a corner of this world. The city they are in is called Ao Port, a member of the Fata Empire.

And the most honorable person here is Baron Borg.

As for the reason why the other party summoned Wang Xun, this soldier did not know.

After gaining some understanding, Wang Xun chose the option to meet the other party. After all, instead of thinking wildly here, it's better to go and see directly.

【You followed the soldier to the city lord's mansion.】

【After passing through a luxurious courtyard, you were led by a servant to a reception room.】

【An old man with a dignified appearance, exuding refinement and elegance, received you.】

【“Ockham reported your situation to me, but I still want to meet you. So young, yet with extraordinary courage and strength, whose child are you?”】

【Baron Borg seems to have seen your uniqueness, how will you answer him?】

【1. Take out your family crest.】

【2. Directly refuse the other party's inquiry.】

【2. Give a slight smile.】

After briefly recalling the background description at the start of the game, Wang Xun decisively eliminated the first option.

Exposing this thing might attract enemies, but directly refusing wouldn't be good either.

【You give a slight smile, not directly answering Baron Bogge's inquiry.】

【The old man's gaze is like a sharp hawk's eye, but after staring at you for a while, it softens.】

【On this mysterious sea, the rise of new nobles and the decline of old traditional nobles are not uncommon.】

【And you, someone with a hint of 'noble aura' but dressed in common clothes, clearly fit this situation.】

【“Alright kid, since you don't want to say, I won't press you. But this old man can't help you much, I hope this thing will be useful to you.”】

【You have obtained the special item 'Bogge's Letter of Introduction'.】
