With a long face, Cheryl nodded and agreed to her.

“I'm thinking about that too. Maria should give everyone an explanation.”

“No. It's unnecessary."

To both girls' surprise, Thomas quickly shut down their idea.

Hearing this, Cheryl and Vivian looked at the deputy captain in confusion. Sensing that he needed to explain, Thomas said indifferently, “Don't make a fuss about it. This kind of thing is just a piece of cake for Master Maria."

Master Maria?

Was Thomas talking about Maria?

More importantly, did he just address her as a master?

Cheryl, Vivian, and everyone in the audience instantly fell silent after hearing Thomas. They had never heard of a "Master Maria" before.

It was an unwritten rule among players of Wasteland that when they mentioned a top-level player, they would intentionally address him or her with the title of a Master.

But how was this possible? How did Maria become a Master?

Just before the start of the game, everyone saw her as a rookie with a Level @ gun proficiency.

But now, one of the top players in the Yeez Team regarded her as such. People started looking at each other, wondering if they misheard Thomas. Some even thought that he was either joking or just crazy.

However, at this moment, on the game screen, they saw Darren walk towards Maria.

“Master Maria, can you teach me the formula to construct a bomb like that?"

In Wasteland, a player who managed to create a new prop or weapon could provide the comprehensive formula and layout to other players, so that they could also learn it.

Surprisingly, Darren, who had the title of being the number one player in Wasteland, didn't have the formula for the bomb Maria just used. Furthermore, Maria's reaction made everyone raise their eyebrows.

She Looked straight at Darren, raised her right hand, and slowly rubbed her index finger against her thumb.

“If you want to learn it, you know what to do. The old rule states that nothing can be obtained for free."

“Yes, of course. Thank you, Master Maria!" An extremely rare bright smile appeared on Darren's cold and handsome face.
