But the moment passed, replaced by a blush as she recalled the mesmerizing scene, and she shouted, "Bastard, how dare you captivate me."
Her history with Sam goes back to their time in the same federation school, in the same class since Class 1st.
Until Class 5th, they were nicknamed first and second rank, respectively.
She didn't intend to compete with him initially, but over time, her pride was hurt as she excelled in everything, yet couldn't defeat him.
Unbeknownst to her or anyone else, she began to unconsciously compete with Sam from Class 5th onwards.
Her interest was piqued as she wondered why she couldn't defeat him, but she suppressed her feelings, thinking that she would prevail after talent awakening. However, she still couldn't win a single time.
Unknowingly, she started developing feelings for him amidst this unconscious rivalry.
"Yaner, your 'Federation Player' card has arrived," her dad's voice reached her ears.

**Wang Feng's Perspective**
"Feng, your 'Federation Player' card has arrived," a voice sounded in his ear.
"Dad, I'm coming," he replied.
"Oh, man! It takes 2 days to arrive just for a 'Federation Player' card," he murmured as he descended to the first floor using the stairs.
What does destiny hold for all three of them?
….
Outside the Goblin Dungeon [F]
A queue of eager players had formed, patiently waiting for their turn to enter.
Among them, a group of six young men had gathered, and after a while, their moment came.
"Feng, let's go in," urged a 20-year-old man.
"Absolutely, I'm right behind you," Wang Feng replied with palpable excitement as they stepped into the Goblin Dungeon together.
They teleported to the first floor, fully aware of the potential dangers ahead.
"Stay vigilant, everyone," their leader commanded.
"Understood," the group replied, their focus honed on the surroundings.
"Feng, goblins up ahead," Wang Feng alerted the group.
"Alright, let's begin," the leader instructed, and each member swiftly assumed their designated positions.
"Feng, take the tank position."
"Mage, unleash your fire attacks."
"Healer, be ready to provide support."
"I'll engage in close combat, and you two back me up."
With their roles established, the group commenced their hunt against the goblins.
Meanwhile, a girl approached a middle-aged man near the dungeon entrance.
"But, miss, it could be dangerous," the middle-aged man hesitated.
"Yes, it might be, but I can handle it," she asserted firmly.
"Miss, alright, but at least go with this player; he can assist you in critical situations," the middle-aged man suggested, indicating an E-rank player nearby.
"Fine," she reluctantly agreed, recognizing the middle-aged man's genuine concern for her safety.
Forming a group with random players, the girl and the young man entered the dungeon, while the middle-aged man watched from the sidelines, silently worrying about the consequences of any mishap."Let's wait for our opportunity," she advised, patiently awaiting their turn to enter.
After a few minutes, they finally entered the Goblin Dungeon and found themselves on the first floor.
"Stay on high alert, everyone," the girl cautioned as a horde of goblins closed in on them.
With resolute determination, the group assumed their positions and courageously engaged in battle against the goblins.
However, unbeknownst to them, three players lurked in the shadows, observing their every move.
"That girl is quite beautiful. I think..."
Before mob1 could finish speaking, mob2 interrupted sharply, "Focus on the mission. You know the consequences."
Both mob1 and mob3 shuddered, recalling past experiences, and replied, "Yes, let's focus on the mission."
The three players manipulated the goblins, directing them in swarms towards the unsuspecting players.
The E-rank player sensed something amiss and warned the group, "This isn't normal; something fishy is going on. Be prepared for unexpected attacks and conserve your energy."
"What do you mean, this isn't normal?" the girl exclaimed, alarmed by the E-rank player's words.
"Yes, miss. I'll do my best to protect you, but please conserve your energy for unforeseen situations," he advised, his eyes narrowed with suspicion.
"Okay," she replied, alert and cautious.
Meanwhile, the three hidden players prepared for their nefarious plan.
"Is everything ready?" mob2 asked.
"Yes, everything's in place," mob1 and mob3 replied."Alright, let's execute it," mob2 declared.
The other two players acknowledged and took their designated positions.
"I'll count to three, and at three, initiate the plan," mob2 instructed with utmost seriousness.
"Understood," they replied in unison.
"One, two, three, go!" mob2 shouted into a strange communication device.
As soon as he did, an unnatural phenomenon began to unfold, alarming all players both inside and outside the Goblin Dungeon.
"Miss, something significant is about to happen," the E-rank player suddenly shouted.
The girl trembled at his warning but kept her composure.
"Everyone, find a safe place to hide," the E-rank player called out, admiring the girl's ability to stay composed in such a dire situation.
"Okay," they acknowledged, taking precautions.
In another part of the dungeon, Wang Feng and his group also became aware of the unusual events.
"Stay vigilant," their leader commanded, and everyone readied themselves for potential threats.
