At first, he played against the machine, but soon several people approached him and asked if he wanted to play a game. Kong Yang readily agreed, since he was there to play games and have fun.
And so, one person, two people, three people, soon, one gaming master after another fell to Kong Yang's hands.
A small iron bucket next to it was already filled with games, at least several hundred or even thousands of them.
These were all stakes, and although Kong Yang hadn't said he wanted them, he couldn't resist the fact that they were willing to pay.
"Life is truly lonely, and being invincible is truly lonely."
That was an extremely pretentious and smug remark, and seven or eight people around him were grinding their teeth in disgust.
They were all losers from the previous challenge, and all the game coins ended up in Kong Yang's hands.
Although Kong Yang looked down on it, since you've come to challenge me, you should offer some prizes. As a result, Kong Yang's game coins increased, which made many people envious, leading to more challengers.
This is also the source of this small bucket of game coins.
"Are you guys coming back?"
Kong Yang looked at the guy next to him with his green hair, "You're so trendy."
Although the green-haired man really wanted to do it, he ultimately held back.
It's not that he's a coward, it's that he really can't beat them, whether in games or real-life fighting.
As for how he knew, it was because the two slap marks on his face told him that this man was a freak.
Anyone buying in-game currency? Selling at 20% off.
Seeing that no one was coming, Kong Yang started shouting inside the arcade.
Everyone around turned to look, and when they saw Kong Yang's small bucket, overflowing with game coins, they were incredibly envious.
However, even with a 20% discount, not many people can afford so many game coins.
"I'll fight you."
At that moment, a soft, sweet voice rang out.
Kong Yang subconsciously looked around, but found no target at all.
Are you looking for trouble?
The sound came again. Kong Yang looked down and saw that the kitten was looking at him with a dissatisfied expression.
This was awkward. Kong Yang hadn't done it on purpose; he genuinely hadn't noticed.
"I'll play against you. If I win, all your game coins are mine."
"Sure, but what if you lose?"
What do you want?
"If you lose, how about I pat your head?"
"Pervert~"
The kitten looked at Kong Yang with utter disgust, as if Kong Yang were incredibly dirty.
"Are you coming or not?"
"Come."
The kitten was really tempted by the small bucket of game tokens; it would be enough for her to play here for a long time.
They turned on a computer and Kong Yang and Xiao Mao started selecting people.
Everyone gathered around. Here, Xiao Mao was quite a celebrity. Although she was a girl, she was incredibly skilled at the game and was quite well-known.
Kong Yang, a newcomer, came here as if he were challenging the established order, and in half a day he had utterly defeated so many people.
This duel between the two naturally attracted a lot of spectators.
Everyone was envious of the bucket of game coins on the table; it was no small amount.
"Best of three or best of five?"
Kong Yang looked at the kitten and said.
"Best of three or best of five games is too much of a waste of time."
"Okay, then best two out of three."
Kong Yang has completed the character selection, which is very similar to King of Fighters '97, but the characters are different.
The kitten chose a burly man, a witch, and a man in a suit.
Kong Yang did not choose a character like the kitten, but instead chose a fighter, an old man, and a vampire.
Then the battle began. The first match was between the cat's character, the strongman, and Kong Yang's fighter.
Without wasting words, Kong Yang went straight up and threw a combination of punches. While he was knocking the opponent back, he unleashed a burst of energy and then squatted down to sweep his leg.
The kitten managed to defend itself, but it was also restricted; it had no other option but to defend.
Seizing the opportunity, Kong Yang broke through the opponent's defense and grabbed the burly man who was playing as a kitten. He then used a "Crow Takes Flight" move to instantly reduce the burly man to low health, and with a final punch, he ended the match.
Kong Yang looked at the kitten with a half-smile.
"Don't get cocky. You're just one person. The game has only just begun."
Kong Yang was too lazy to explain. The second round began, and the cat's second character, the witch, appeared.
Similar to the previous round, Kong Yang didn't expend much effort, losing only a third of his health, before defeating the kitten's second mission.
Everyone around was astonished. The kitten had actually been defeated by two opponents in a row?
"This guy is amazing."
"Yeah, even a kitten can do two in a row. If it could do three in a row, that would be amazing."
"No way, the kitten couldn't possibly be in such a terrible state."
"Who knows?"
As everyone chatted in small groups, Kong Yang and Xiao Mao's third round was almost over.
In the third round, Xiao Mao unleashed a burst of power, bringing Kong Yang's fighter to near-death. Just as he was about to finish him off, Kong Yang turned the tables and killed him, ultimately achieving a three-on-one victory.
"I think I won."
"Best of three, two games left."
"Then let's go."
Another game was played, and Xiao Mao and Kong Yang's hero selections remained unchanged, the same old ones.
A few minutes later, the battle was over, and the kitten looked on in disbelief.
"How about best of five?"
"I can afford to lose, so come on."
He spoke as if he were bravely going to his death, which made Kong Yang's teeth ache.
Kong Yang gave the kitten a hard scratch on the head, then threw the bucket of game coins at the kitten, and turned to leave.
This left the kitten looking at Kong Yang's retreating figure with great confusion.

Chapter Twenty-One: An Unexpected Encounter at the School Gate!
'Ding-a-ling~'
The alarm clock rang, and Kong Yang groggily opened his eyes.
The weekend is over, and it's time to go to school again today.
The reason for setting an alarm was that he had gone too far yesterday, and it was unlikely that Hildi would be able to go to school today. So, in order not to be late, Kong Yang set an alarm.
However, Kong Yang felt very sorry for Hildi, who was still fast asleep beside him.
Hildi is good in every way, except that she cares too much about Kong Yang and never cares about her own health.
Kong Yang couldn't stop when she was in high spirits, which led to her being "overworked" time and time again. Once or twice was fine, but after it happened a lot, Kong Yang started to feel embarrassed.
Last night, Kong Yang was thinking about whether he should eat a few of the twenty maids in the small world.
However, Kong Yang, having seen many beautiful women, had become quite discerning and looked down on them somewhat.
"Your Highness, I—"
"Alright, you should rest well at home today. I was too impulsive yesterday."
"It is my fault for failing to serve Your Highness properly."
"You should get some rest."
He didn't let Hilde continue. What man wouldn't carefully protect a woman who is completely devoted to him?
After washing up and preparing some breakfast for Hildi, Kong Yang went out.
Aside from drawing comics, Kong Yang did nothing else over the weekend but 'communicate' with Hilde. Hurting Hilde time and time again made Kong Yang start to want to find another woman.
Kong Yang's first choice was Zhenluo Chunji, the girl with long black hair and glasses.
Thinking of the five sets of clothes prepared at home, Kong Yang felt a little restless. He would summon her again tonight and let her try them on.
"Ah! Look, it's His Highness the Prince."
"He's so handsome."
"I'm so glad to see Lord Kong Yang again. I haven't been able to eat for two days."
"My life is full of color again."
........................
As soon as the car pulled up to the gate, the girls going to school nearby screamed.
For the first time, Kong Yang felt that his attractiveness to women was a bit of a problem. Although it was very useful when picking up girls, it was also a problem in ordinary times.
"Perverted senior~"
Just then, the sound of a kitten's voice came from the side.
Kong Yang glanced over subconsciously and saw that the kitten, now dressed in the Kuoh Academy uniform, looked even cuter.
"Isn't this the adorable little cat? It's been so long! I've missed you so much!"
"Don't be so familiar, you perverted senior. We just met yesterday."
Speaking of yesterday, the kitten's face became a little sulky.
He was actually defeated in the game, and it was a best-of-three series, with each game being a three-on-one defeat for him.
This bothered her immensely, and she always wanted to avenge herself.
In particular, when Kong Yang gave her all the game coins at the end, she saw it as a sign of disdain and contempt.
This made her even more determined. She didn't care about other things, but when it came to games, she would never admit defeat and would never accept charity.
She didn't touch any of those game coins; she put them all away, planning to return them to Kong Yang when the opportunity arose.
"Well, Little Cat, we're friends now, so can you please stop slandering others?"
"I'm not slandering you, you're the pervert."
"Look at you, aren't you a pervert? Whether you believe it or not, I can have plenty of beautiful women throwing themselves into my arms with just a snap of my fingers."
"I believe you, but you're a pervert."
"What a stubborn little kitten!"
As he spoke, a large hand landed directly on the kitten's head, ruffling her short white hair.
But the kitten didn't care about that anymore. Her eyes were fixed on Kong Yang, because Kong Yang's words "kitty" made her freeze in place.
"It feels so good, little kitten. Rubbing your head feels just like petting a cat."
"Let me go, you perverted senior."
Hearing Kong Yang say that, the little cat finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then her tone became extremely calm.
"This is your senior's way of showing you affection, little kitten."
