"I... just lost?"

"Yes, young man."

"Hmm, this is truly... baffling."

Kexiao felt a bitter taste in his heart, wanting to say something, like he shouldn't have lost; it was a flaw caused by his move not executing. But in competitive games, personal factors don't matter; as long as the joystick is fine, a loss is a loss.

Kexiao fell into a brief contemplation about life, having to admit that this game was truly anti-human. He had executed his move, but in such a critical stage, perhaps due to a change in mindset, he acted too quickly or too forcefully. He's not sure; anyway, it was baffling... This is so damn unlucky!

With a gentle sigh, accepting the gamble and its loss, there's nothing to complain about, "I lost. By the way, what's this game called?"

"It's called..." Allen smiled at Kexiao, then laughed loudly: "Haha... Young man, it will take you another hundred years to defeat me."

"I see, I will challenge again later."

Kexiao turned and walked out of the room, then remembered, "Oh, which planet is this?"

"Mardis."

Hmm, Mardis was the place he fought with Feng Yi before, no wonder he lost; this was their home ground. Kexiao was filled with nostalgia in his heart...

"And how do you plan to go back? I don't have the strength to help you a second time."

Feng Yi's words hit the point. At a special time like this, there are neither space flights nor light transmissions here. To return to Saudi, one has to rely on military assistance.

Kexiao didn't care much. As he walked out the door, he glanced back at everyone and said, "Feng Yi, I want to talk to you alone."

"Hmph, is there some shady secret?"

If you say so, then so it is. Kexiao seemed not to hear Sky Shadow's words, his face showed no trace of emotion.

After walking out of the room a short distance, Feng Yi finally broke the silence, "Go ahead, what do you want to talk about."

"Allen, I want to know Allen's real identity and things about him."

"Why not ask him yourself."

"I will ask him, I'm just asking you first before I find him."

"Oh, I see... Well..." Feng Yi paused for a while, then said: "I can only count Allen as a friend. If you have any questions, I suggest you ask him directly. Regardless of the matter, his answer will definitely be more thorough, comprehensive, and accurate, assuming he is willing to answer."

"How should I ask him?"

"Who knows, when we got to know each other, it was more of mutual interactions, with a fair exchange of information in the cosmic space you are familiar with. To awaken me, part of my soul was reformatted, losing the curiosity. He developed a strong interest in humans probably because of being influenced by that peculiar emotion. At the beginning, we exchanged 'equivalent' intelligence and even made bets, like this game, and he had unconditionally helped me as a friend—hoping today's conversation remains a secret between you and me, out of respect for my friend."

"Sound just like you."

Kexiao nodded, after a slight hesitation. He understood Feng Yi's underlying message, hinting at Allen's considerable abilities, possibly needing exchange, or requiring a price. Feng Yi had revealed almost everything except not mentioning that people come from high-dimensional space.

"It's just..."

"Just what."

"Hehe, it's nothing, I got your point."

"Oh, by the way, if you decide to return to Saudi, you can go to the Blaze Regiment to find John, tell him this code, it's something I left back then, he shouldn't refuse your request."

"Just 'shouldn't'?"

"Perhaps, since people think I'm dead, and John was the one who sent me off on my final journey. Hehe, hope he believes you, you know what to say."

"You even kept this card up your sleeve, it's really..." Kexiao was speechless, looks at Feng Yi with lingering fear. It's truly frightening, but also thanks to Feng Yi, the world becomes more entertaining.

He turned and walked back into the room, "Allen, I want to have a private chat with you."

"I'm playing a game; young people need more patience." No sooner had the words been spoken than Allen lost in the max difficulty challenge against the computer. "Kexiao, it was your voice that caused a momentary short-circuit in my nerves that should have won. This could have happened in a fraction of a second, maybe a thousandth or even ten-thousandth of a second, hmm, let me think..."

"Huff huff... but I didn't do anything."

"Sigh, it's really something." Allen sighed deeply, "Young people need patience and a sense of humor; you should both learn more from Feng Yi."

Sky Shadow's face turned green upon hearing this! "Hey, what does this have to do with me, don't drag me into it." Learning from Feng Yi is impossible, not in this lifetime, he'd rather learn from an idiot than learn from Feng Yi, except for the techniques, he's already learned those.

Shrugging, Kexiao said, "I want to talk to you about something serious."

"Games are my serious business."

"Huh? Games..."

"Yes, to me, games are serious business. Even if the world ends now, it doesn't matter as much as winning this round."

This... although it sounds absurd, it actually makes sense. After all, why would the world's end concern him?

"No, it does matter!" At this moment, Kexiao's expression suddenly changed, his face grew cold, and he said icily, "And it's a big deal."

"Hmm...?" Everyone around was surprised, even Feng Yi kept mumbling, you better respect your elders and love the young, you must keep respect.

"Does matter? What matter!" Allen seemed to catch on to the unusual meaning in Kexiao's words, his benevolent face instantly froze.

Kexiao said, "Of course it matters, and it directly relates to the game experience—I have a better game to recommend to you, rather than this anti-human garbage game."

"Wha, what game?" Allen was hit with critical damage.

Kexiao said, "King of Fighters II."

This, Kexiao's words were like hit after hit, who could stand it, Allen froze, Feng Yi froze, Sky Shadow froze, the whole world froze...

Allen broke the silence, "Not interested."

Everyone instantly broke into a cold sweat, unable to bear it any longer, Feng Yi spoke up: "Hey, why do you have to make that face if you're not interested."

"Haha, wasn't it to go along with the atmosphere and the expectations of everyone."

Sweat!

Allen put down the controller, looked at Kexiao with deep meaning, and said, "Let's get back to the point; you can ask any questions, but I am not obligated to answer you."

"I can exchange information with you."
