“If I play mahjong again, I’m a dog!” Jiang Xu swore as they walked.
An Nuonuo nodded in agreement beside him.
Mahjong is not fun at all; studying is better.
The two of them managed to get away only after Jiang Xu offered a recording in exchange, which finally convinced the three witchy girls to let them go.
“No way, we have to take back our pride,” Jiang Xu said through gritted teeth. “Let’s go, we’ll rest up and prepare.
Then, tonight, we’ll invite the three of them to play League of Legends with us!”
They might not be their match in mahjong, but when it came to gaming, Jiang Xu was brimming with confidence.
“Okay.” An Nuonuo clenched her small fist with vigor, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
This Saturday, the first League of Legends competition officially began.
For many parents, gaming is still seen as a scourge.
So, the participants were all college students.
After all, the prizes for the champions, runners-up and third place were ten million, seven million, and three million respectively.
And anyone who made it to the finals was gifted with all champions and all skins.
Many people came for this reason.
As for the few million or tens of millions in prize money for the top places, many didn’t take it seriously.
It wasn’t something they thought they needed to consider.
Today was just the preliminary round, divided into twenty-two competition areas.
Each area had its live stream, broadcast simultaneously on several websites owned by Jiang Xu.
From Nuomimi Novel, Daily Headlines, and Nuomi Comics, official websites provided live streaming for viewers.
Of course, it was only available on computers.
The mobile internet had just reached 4G, without full coverage yet.
The majority of users were still on 3G and couldn’t watch the live stream.
The most popular competition zone was Magic City.
The location was set in a stadium.
Because Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo were participants, as well as Fu Yanjie, Bai Xiaoya, and Jiang Xiaoyan.
The five of them formed a team named: Pure Love Team.
“Wow, so many people,” Bai Xiaoya exclaimed as she walked in.
The place was packed and bustling.
And it wasn’t like other games where the majority of players were boys.
In League of Legends, the number of girl players was also considerable.
The male to female ratio at the venue was about sixty-forty.
The stadium could accommodate twenty thousand plus people.
Adults had to buy tickets to enter: thirty yuan for adults, half-price for college students, and free for minors.
Fu Yanjie’s eyes gleamed: “The championship is definitely ours!”
Jiang Xu patted his shoulder: “I think your chances of reincarnation are even bigger.”
Although Fu Yanjie’s skills were indeed good, they weren’t yet at the professional player level.
This first domestic competition was a chance for Jiang Xu to make some quick money.
Secondly, it was also to scout talented individuals to form a team.
He was laying the foundation for future game live streaming.
“Ah, there are so many from our school,” Jiang Xiaoyan said, adjusting her glasses.
Jiang Xu shot her a glance.
She was dressed like a little lamb today,
Innocent, clean, and seemingly unaware of the ways of the world.
It was incredibly misleading.
Fu Yanjie responded: “Yeah, there are quite a few from our school that play the game, and there are several teams from our school as well.”
Jiang Xu said: “Let’s take our seats, the match is about to start.”
Now was the selection phase.
As soon as Jiang Xu and his team took their seats, several cameras were pointed at them.
The photographers were also from his own company.
The exclusive broadcast rights were in Jiang Xu’s hands.
The Pure Love Team, except for Fu Yanjie, had looks that were off the charts.
Fu Yanjie: Should I leave then?
Handsome men and beautiful women, no matter where, always have strong topicality.
This was also a method of attracting viewers.
With five minutes to go before the start of the match, music began to play at the venue,
and then the lights focused on the stage.
“Wow!”
A series of exclamations erupted from the audience.
A girl with big wavy hair walked up to the stage, microphone in hand.
Whether it was her figure, appearance, or aura, she was top-notch.
Yep.
This female host was none other than Ally.
A mature woman like her was liked by men of all ages.
Having Ally step in as a temporary host was also meant to add more buzz to the event.
“Hello everyone at the venue and those watching on TV and computers, I’m Ally, and I’m thrilled to meet you all.”
Her voice was also very distinctive.
It was the kind that, as soon as she spoke, could scratch an itch in one’s heart.
The many netizens in front of their screens blew up immediately.
‘Holy cow, what a sultry babe.’
‘That voice… I’m in love.’
‘Excuse me, I need to visit the restroom, I’ll be right back.’
‘She’s so busty, so white.’
‘Hang on a moment, I just ordered a carton of Nutrient Express and tissues.’
Jiang Xu looked at Ally, nodding in satisfaction.
She had a steady stage presence and could command the attention of the entire audience.
At the same time, she could attract a wave of fans for the event.
Then, Jiang Xu’s gaze wandered, observing the other competitors.
“Hmm, who is that?”
Jiang Xu suddenly noticed a girl sitting on the left side of an opposing team.
Blonde hair, a bit of an alternative look, and in terms of appearance, out of a full score of ten, she could score a 6.5.
Zhou Shuyi.
In his past life, she was a famous livestreamer, an object of silent tribute for many otaku deep into the night.
However, later on, this woman actually started dating a man who had “eaten flour,” resulting in a mass exodus of fans.
Online, a certain meme became popular.
Mu Xiaolu: What makes you think you’re worthy of sharing the same ice cream with me?
Jiang Xu didn’t have a good impression of this woman in the first place.
Just a little puff girl.
It goes to show that people with skewed morals naturally associate with those alike.
Just like flies are attracted to feces.
He didn’t expect to encounter her here.
If so, then forget about being a livestreamer and making big money in this lifetime.
Go screw nuts in a factory nicely.
As he pondered, the competition officially started.
The players were randomly selected.
Jiang Xu and his team were just making up the numbers; they had no expectations of getting far.
The first match ended in twenty-two minutes.
The Pure Love Team won.
Then there was a fifteen-minute break.
Reporters at the venue would pick some players for interviews.
Jiang Xu glanced over and saw that Zhou Shuyi’s team had also won.
He summoned a staff member and whispered a few instructions.
The employee nodded and headed in the direction of Zhou Shuyi’s team.
An Nuonuo went backstage to check on things.
Jiang Xiaoyan and Bai Xiaoya were also interviewed separately.
Fu Yanjie: What about me?
A peculiar fragrance entered his nostrils.
Jiang Xu turned around, feeling something.
His pupils dilated slightly.
A woman who appeared to be in her thirties was watching him with a scrutinizing look.
She exuded a mature charm, allure, and elegance that young girls lacked.
For the vast majority of men, she was like poison.
Even though she was without makeup, Jiang Xu recognized the woman’s origins at a glance.
