The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd!

188 Challenge Failed
“You’ve done very well, but there’s still a lot to improve on, especially the last risky step. You can’t be smug just because of this result.” Shan Yue remained stern on the surface, but her eyes had already fully revealed her affirmation of him. “In the future, if you want to challenge them one by one, you have to take it one step at a time. Everyone has to defeat their opponent in three chances. I’ll often pay attention to your ranking.”

Shan Chen was still filled with the joy of victory. He stared at his ranking and the people above him and waved his hand. “Got it, Sister. I’ll work hard!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shan Chen waved his mouse and prepared to take advantage of the victory to challenge the 99th place, Lightning.

“Are you going to continue the challenge so soon?” Seeing this, the corners of Shan Yue’s mouth curled up slightly. “The strength of every person on the hacker rankings is a huge gap. Otherwise, the names on the rankings wouldn’t have remained unchanged for a long time. Moreover, as far as I know, this person called “Lightning” is known for his speed. His offense and defense are in an instant, so fast that no one can react. Are you still confident in facing the absolute difference in strength?”

Shan Chen’s brows revealed a trace of confidence, and a trace of determination flashed across his eyes. “No problem, Sister. Trust me.”

“Then you have to work hard.” Shan Yue smiled. She did not interfere too much with Shan Chen’s decision. Success was a good thing, but failure would also let him know that there was always someone better.

As Shan Chen pressed the mouse in his hand, the competition to challenge the 99th place began.

Shan Chen did not dare to be careless and entered serious mode again. He focused and prepared his ten fingers like a soldier on standby to face the upcoming challenge.

Unlike the first challenge, at the beginning of the competition, the opponent did not give Shan Chen much time to prepare. In an instant, the attacks that were like a flash flood arrived in front of him. All of them hit his vital points.

Shan Chen quickly reacted and defended. He dealt with whatever came his way. While the two sides competed with each other’s skills, they also tested their individual decisions.

“I can’t just sit here and wait for death.” Shan Chen’s lips parted slightly, and his gaze gradually became stronger. If this continued, he would only be led by the nose. He had to find an opportunity to take the initiative in the competition.

Shan Chen immediately changed his strategy. He mixed offense into defense, hoping to disrupt the other party’s rhythm through surprise attacks. However, his thoughts seemed to be completely exposed to the other party. No matter how he attacked, it was futile.

In the end, he still wanted to take a gamble like last time. If he succeeded, he would defeat him. If he failed, he would be out. He increased the speed of his typing on the keyboard and turned all the defense codes into offense. He aimed at the place he thought was the weakest and stabbed like a sharp sword.

“As expected, he took the bait.” Somewhere in the world, Lightning’s lips curled into a perfect smile. “The challenger this time is quite talented. Unfortunately, he’s too young and inexperienced. I deliberately revealed a flaw to him and he walked into the trap so quickly.”

When Shan Chen realized that something was wrong, it was already too late. It turned out that the place with the weakest defense hid the tightest protection behind the scenes. At this moment, he did not do any defense and exposed his weakness to the other party without reservation.

“Warning, the computer is being hacked!”

The computer’s warning made Shan Chen panic. He frowned and made the final hand speed competition. He increased his speed and typed on the keyboard. The moment he saw that the defense line that was gradually unable to be defended was finally destroyed, the words “challenge failed” appeared on the computer.

Shan Chen also stopped what he was doing and stared at the screen for a long time, unable to accept it. He lowered his head slightly, his brows emitting sadness and self-blame.

“It doesn’t matter if you lose once.” Shan Yue slowly placed her hand on Shan Chen and lowered her body slightly, her eyes filled with encouragement. “There are many geniuses in this world. You have to combine 1% of your talent with 99% of your hard work. A single failure doesn’t mean anything. Those who learn from failure to strengthen themselves are true warriors.”
