I Ended the God at Level 1

70: Mission - Poetry Battle“Gurgle….”

As Li Si was about to step into the city, his stomach suddenly churned. He hadn’t eaten for most of the day, and he was finally hungry.

Let’s eat first.

“Hmm?”

“Where’s Lin Tianhao’s small restaurant?”

Walking to the location where the restaurant used to be, Li Si found that the words on the restaurant’s sign had changed, becoming “All Heavens Game Exchange Hall.”

Lin Tianhao stopped doing business?

Li Si was incredibly surprised.

At this moment, he sniffed the aroma of food through the crack in the door.

It was Lin Tianhao’s cooking.

This proved that Lin Tianhao’s restaurant had not closed down.

Li Si pushed the door open. The restaurant had been completely transformed and redecorated.

From a conventional small restaurant, it had changed into a bar-like style. The walls were covered with various patterns, all from the All Heavens Game.

“Lin Tianhao’s business acumen is really good.”

Li Si was surprised.

He hadn’t expected Lin Tianhao to do this.

Especially the large screen in the center of the restaurant, which was playing a popular streamer’s variety show. As for the content of the show, it was naturally related to the All Heavens Game.

“Uncle Lin, this move is amazing. Simply changing the name and style, and you’ve revitalized the restaurant.” Li Si looked at the constant stream of customers with genuine admiration.

“It’s all thanks to you that I thought of this method. Eat whatever you want today, Uncle Lin will treat you.”

Lin Tianhao said with a laugh. He also hadn’t expected that merely associating with All Heavens would give his small restaurant a second spring.

Half an hour later, Li Si ate his fill and logged into the game.

“Beep!”

“Lawless Madman, welcome back to All Heavens Game.”

With a flash of light, Li Si returned to the entrance of the Light Elf dwelling place.

“Human? Why have you come to our territory?” The guard at the city gate questioned as usual.

“I came to clear my sin value.”

“I see, follow me.”

The Elf guard led Li Si to a shop: “Please enter, this shop has what you want.”

“Thank you.”

Li Si cupped his hands and entered the shop.

“Light Potion (Purple): Clears all sin value on the body after use. Price: 100 gold coins. Each player can only purchase once.”

“Advanced Blood Potion (Blue): Used in combat, restores 100 health per second for 10 seconds. Used out of combat, restores 1000 health per second for 10 seconds. Price: 10 gold coins.”

“Light Energy Potion (Epic): Clears all sin value on the body after use, recharge time 7 days. Price: 100,000 gold coins. Purchase qualification requires Light Elf favorability above 1000 points.”

The shop was filled with dazzling potions, but only the three above made Li Si’s heart stir.

Especially the Light Energy Potion, a potion that could be used repeatedly, was something he had never encountered before.

It was just a pity that he currently didn’t have the qualification to purchase the Light Energy Potion.

“That’s enough for now.”

Li Si purchased 1 bottle of Light Potion. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to buy more, but he could only buy one bottle.

“Gulp.”

He swallowed the Light Potion in one gulp.

Instantly, a brilliant, pure white light swept away all the sin value from his body.

“Pop——”

A clear chime.

Li Si’s ID slowly faded, disappearing into the air. His red name status ended, and he could now hide his ID.

“Mission accomplished.”

Afterward, he purchased some Advanced Blood Potions and slowly left the potion shop.

“Time to go.”

Just as Li Si was activating the Great Teleportation Technique to return to Luanxing City to ask the Lord of Luanxing City to lift Zhang Ruihu’s bounty, a sudden voice entered his ears:

“Poetry Battle begins!”

What was that sound?

Li Si followed the source of the sound and soon saw a ring. On both sides of the ring were two groups of people: one side was the white-haired Light Elves, and the other side was the red-haired Fire Elves.

Poetry Battle?

Light Elves and Fire Elves having a poetry battle?

This style…

It’s too strange, isn’t it?

“It’s finally starting. The Fire Elves dared to snatch our Longevity Treasure Potion; they have no shame.”

“Why not just fight directly? Why insist on a poetry battle to decide the winner?”

“Our King is benevolent and does not wish to see our clansmen die, so he chose a poetry battle.”

Listening to the Light Elves’ discussion, Li Si understood the cause and effect.

The reason was that the Fire Elf King’s lifespan was nearing its end, and coincidentally, a Longevity Treasure Potion appeared within the Light Elf territory. To extend his life, the Fire Elf King resolutely decided to snatch the Longevity Treasure Potion, even if it meant war.

The Light Elf King did not wish for war.

Thus, today’s poetry battle scene was initiated.

“Please, both sides’ contestants, come to the stage.”

The host’s blue hair swayed. His hair color was different from both sides, so he should be from another Elf clan.

Judging by his hair color, he was either a Water Elf or a Wind Elf.

Li Si activated his system ability to detect.

He found that the host was indeed a Water Elf.

“Please, both sides’ contestants, come to the stage.”

The young and handsome Water Elf called out again.

“Liu Zhongxian, you go.”

The old and decaying Fire Elf King said.

The next second, a middle-aged man in a cloth robe slowly walked onto the ring.

This scene immediately caused the Light Elves to exclaim in surprise.

“Cheating!!”

“The Fire Elves are shameless, they actually let a human on stage!”

“Beska, what is the meaning of this?”

The Light Elf King stood up with a “boom,” utterly furious, and the chair behind him shattered.

“Snyder, we never stipulated that we couldn’t use outside help. I let Liu Zhongxian on stage; I didn’t break the agreement. If you’re not convinced, you can ask the host if I broke the agreement.”

A playful smile appeared on the Fire Elf King’s withered old face.

“Fire Elf, no breach of contract.”

The young Water Elf announced.

This result was within the Light Elf King’s expectations. He had also participated in the formulation of the poetry battle rules, so he naturally knew that outside help could be used in a poetry battle.

However, he had assumed that Elves were arrogant, and believed that the Fire Elf King would be like him, impossible to use any outside help. Yet, he never expected that the Fire Elf King would abandon his arrogance and choose to use a human as outside help.

Is lifespan really that important?

Important enough to make an inherently arrogant Elf King abandon his dignity?

The Light Elf King couldn’t understand.

Because he was in his prime at this time.

“Light Elf King, please have your contestant come to the stage.” The young Water Elf announced neither humbly nor arrogantly.

“According to the rules, if your side has no contestant on stage within sixty breaths, the other side automatically wins.”

“60….”

“59….”

“58….”

“What should we do? Liu Zhongxian is the best human in poetry in the Elf Secret Realm. Who else can defeat him?” The Light Elves present were extremely nervous.

The poetic talent of humans was already at the top among all races.

Liu Zhongxian was even a master of human poetry.

In the Elf Secret Realm at this moment, who could defeat him?

“Beep!”

“Congratulations, you have triggered a hidden quest—Poetry Battle (Star Rating Fluctuating).”

“Step onto the ring and win the poetry battle for the Light Elf race. You will gain a large amount of favorability and receive a reward from the Light Elf King—Snyder.”

“What the f*ck?!”

Li Si was astonished. He was just watching a show, how did he trigger a hidden quest?

However, this quest came at just the right time.

He currently lacked Light Elf favorability to purchase the Light Energy Potion.

Completing this quest might give him enough favorability.

As for the Light Elf King’s reward, he was a level 99 Legendary Monarch, and in broad daylight, he couldn’t possibly trick him with junk.

“Bang!”

Li Si directly accepted the quest, leaped onto the ring, and then looked at the Light Elf King:

“May I represent the Light Elves in the poetry battle?”

“You… are you confident?”

The Light Elf King’s handsome face was filled with worry. Could this young man from another world really defeat the renowned Liu Zhongxian?

“Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t have come on stage.”

Li Si’s tone was filled with endless confidence, even arrogance. In the art of poetry, he could afford to be so. Because in his childhood, he had dreamed of another world and learned many ancient and brilliant poems.

“Very well, let you represent the Light Elves.”

The Light Elf King had resigned himself to fate. Since anyone who went up would lose, he might as well let this young man try.

At worst, he would lose the Longevity Treasure Potion to Beska.

“Both sides in position, poetry battle begins.”

The young Water Elf announced loudly, then drew a slip of paper from a black box.

“This poetry battle will be a best of three.”

“The first round, the theme is the moon.”

“Both sides have six hundred breaths to compose their poems. The judges have been chosen from various clans in the Elf Secret Realm, ensuring fair and impartial voting.”

“Now——”

“Begin composing poems.”
