My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 210

Stanley was enraged. “You’re lying! If you’ve really given it to someone else, that person would be itching to carry it with him 24/7 just to show off! I have never seen anyone using the Hundred-Mile Streamers over the past few days!”

Nonetheless Scary Phoenix did not answer him.

Everyone in the team continued their practice as usual, but Scary Phoenix no longer stood aside and monitored everyone as he had done in the past few days. This time, he took to the field and fought against everyone else in person. Because of that, the team played with unusually great spirit on this day, for Scary Phoenix still outclassed them by several orders of magnitude even without his gear.

With Scary Phoenix being a member of their team, they could get into the finals with little to no pressure.

Everyone else was dumbfounded. Then, he continued, ‘The Esports World Championship has teamed up with Bayside City’s University Alliance. Contestants who are currently attending university in Bayside City will be awarded credits if their teams manage to make it to the top eight globally. The teams who win first, second, and third place will be awarded five, three, and two credits respectively, whereas teams that finish fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth will be awarded one credit.’

Everyone else was stunned. Could they be awarded credits just by playing games? On second thought, the Esports World Championship was equivalent to the Olympics of the esports arena. Since it was a world-class championship, it shouldn’t be surprising for those who excelled in the championship to be awarded credits.

Some members of the team spoke up on the spot. Snow Fox said, ‘Belle Warrior and I are students of Bayside University. Who else is attending university in Bayside City? Tell me your name so that I can put it on record for credit-awarding purposes.’

Out of eight team members, four were professional video game players who were no longer attending university. Scary Phoenix couldn’t possibly be a student himself since he had started playing online games ten years ago, whereas Dragon Belle Warrior and Snow Fox were both students. Therefore, everyone turned to look at Sirius immediately, who had been silent the entire time.

Sirius233 then said sheepishly, ‘I’m a student of Bayside University too.’

As a straight-A student, it was only natural for Sophia to strive after credits. She would work hard for it even if she got only one credit in the end.

At Bayside University—a place filled with high achievers—one could never know how many people they could leave behind by receiving one extra credit!

Snow Fox said fiercely in the game, ‘Little did I expect you scumbag to be one of my schoolmates, Sirius.’

‘Hehe,’ Sirius233 responded.

As the game continued, Sophia took two bites of fruit and continued playing intensely. Since she could be awarded credits, she had to work even harder and strive to get into the top three to receive at least two credits.

She could leave God-knew-how-many people behind her by receiving the two extra credits!

Just as she was fighting hard for the credits, she suddenly saw a package being sent to her in-game by Scary Phoenix. When she clicked on the package, bright lights suddenly filled the screen followed by a system notification that read, ‘You have obtained the Hundred-Mile Streamers, a first-class godly weapon!’

The Hundred-Mile Streamers! Sophia gaped at the screen; she was so surprised that the piece of watermelon in her hand fell to the ground. Isn’t that the Hundred-Mile Streamers, the No. 1 weapon of the ‘Swordsman Game’ that is said to be forged by Scary Phoenix himself?

The sword was forged by Scary Phoenix himself many years ago, but he had never used it again after using it for the first time. He was still the No. 1 player of the game whether he used the Hundred-Mile Streamers or not, so the sword had been kept in storage and had not appeared for many years. The sword had filled players across all the game’s servers with awe when Beast borrowed it to show off some days ago.

The most expensive gear in online games ever known in the world had been sold for nearly ten million, but this record would probably be broken very soon if the Hundred-Mile Streamers was to be sold.

Countless ‘Swordsman Game’ players wanted to buy this godly weapon from Scary Phoenix, but he had never sold or given it to anyone. However, judging from the current situation, it seemed that he was giving this weapon to her!

Sophia could hardly tear herself away from the weapon as she stared at it. Now that she had gotten the weapon, being awarded five credits would be a piece of cake!

However, after the feelings of pleasant surprise had subsided, it immediately occurred to her that this weapon wasn’t hers; Scary Phoenix had no reason for giving her such first-class gear since he was neither a relative nor a friend of hers. Therefore, she texted Scary Phoenix back, ‘Did you send it to the wrong person, Lord? Isn’t this weapon intended for your son? I’ll return it to you right now.’

She immediately returned it to him after that. However, Scary Phoenix sent the godly weapon back to her after a short while and added, ‘Give it back to me after the championship ends.’

Lord is lending this weapon to me expressly for the championship! Sophia thought to herself.

Tempted by the five credits, she really couldn’t bring herself to return the weapon. Therefore, she accepted it and replied, ‘Thank you, Lord.’

Scary Phoenix replied some time later and said, ‘Call me Master.’

Sophia was disgusted. She was using a male character in-game, and Scary Phoenix was probably a man too.

Being flirted by a man many years her senior in such a queer manner filled her with disgust, but she replied unhesitatingly for the sake of the godly weapon, ‘Thank you, Master.’

After sending this message to Scary Phoenix, she had a feeling that she had made Michael even more like a cuckold.

Nonetheless, it was merely a game; none of this was happening in real life. Nobody knew each other outside the gaming world.

She would always love Tay Tay and no one else!

Therefore, she equipped herself with her Master’s Hundred-Mile Streamers with peace of mind while telling herself that she was merely sharing the godly weapon with her Master.

She would win glory for her home country if her team won the championship. Sophia threw aside her sense of shame as the idea came into her mind and conviction grew within her. After all, she would return the weapon to him after the championship ended.

Stanley practiced tactical coordination with his teammates while finding time to bombard Scary Phoenix with a stream of messages. He wrote, ‘Just give it to me, Uncle. I promise you that I won’t damage it. You’re not using it anyway, so why don’t you let me use it for a few days? I promise I’ll give it back to you after the championship.’

He then continued, ‘I’ll use it for just a little while, okay? Just a little while. I’ll just have a look at it; I promise I won’t equip myself with it.’

However, Scary Phoenix was too lazy to reply to his messages.

Determined to get his hands on the Hundred-Mile Streamers, Stanley rested for a while and was about to bombard Scary Phoenix with another round of messages when he suddenly saw dazzling, bright lights on his screen. As it turned out, Sirius233 suddenly brought a dazzling new weapon with him in the game, and when Stanley looked at it, he realized that the weapon was the godly Hundred-Mile Streamers that he had been dreaming about!

No, no, no! How could my uncle give the Hundred-Mile Streamers to Sirius, that jerk? That must be a coincidence! he thought to himself.

But now that such a godly weapon was unleashed, the resulting effect was completely different. Sirius nearly overpowered everyone else in the server with it, filling every player in the server with shock as they couldn’t help but ask what godly weapon it was.

That is the Hundred-Mile Streamers! Stanley broke down as he questioned Scary Phoenix, ‘Uncle, did you give your Hundred-Mile Streamers to Sirius?’

Scary Phoenix replied, ‘Yeah.’

Snow Fox suddenly went offline, whereas Stanley rushed to Villa No. 8 of The Imperial as quickly as possible. As soon as he barged into the villa, he hugged Michael’s thigh as the latter was brushing his teeth and asked, “How could you do this, Uncle? How could you give the Hundred-Mile Streamers to Sirius? Am I really your biological son?”

Michael responded, “No, you’re not.”

Stanley began throwing a tantrum as he said, “I don’t care. I’m not leaving if you don’t give the Hundred-Mile Streamers to me!”

Sophia, who was happily gaming in the study, had no idea that Stanley was here again. She used the godly weapon with great pleasure. Now that I have this godly weapon, the entire world is in my hands! Credits, here I come! she thought to herself.
