"Hello players, hello audience, good afternoon everyone!"
"There's just 1 hour left until the third round of the 'Glory of the Gods' Leader of the Hundred Races contest."
"Please be patient and wait."
In a spacious office in a Hua Country office building, a group of normally very busy white-collar workers were behaving quite differently today.
The desks in the office had been moved to the side, and a huge projection was hanging on one of the walls.
Various foods and drinks were laid out in front of everyone.
Everyone was watching the live ga broadcast on the screen, and the atmosphere was very lively.
The usual grievances and complaints about their boss were replaced by endless flattery and praise.
The young female boss smiled and responded:
"Alright, alright."
After the company quieted down, she continued:
"As a longti fan of Drunken Master, I can't let such an important event go without showing so support."
"Just channel your current enthusiasm into your future work."
"Also, I'm making an exception today by giving you a half-day off to watch the live stream, not to hear you flatter ."
The crowd burst into laughter.
anwhile, the crowd of dozens began to discuss:
"What a pity that Feng Hua didn't participate."
"Otherwise, the Leader of the Alliance would definitely belong to our Hua Country War Zone!"
Everyone present agreed with this.
Even the young female boss, a dedicated fan of Drunken Master, had to admit:
"It's a bit of a sha."
"Otherwise, this event would have been more exciting."
"Exactly!"
"I don't understand why the officials wouldn't let our Feng Hua participate."
"Is it because they fear our Hua Country War Zone getting the Leader position?"
"It's not entirely impossible."
Although the officials had explained why Lin Yi couldn't participate, their explanation was too vague and wasn't widely accepted.
And as for Lin Yi's identity as the City Lord of Floating City, the officials weren't allowed to expose it.
So, this issue was currently the biggest gripe among players in the Hua Country War Zone.
Then a bespectacled man in the crowd said:
"Let's not talk about Feng Hua anymore."
"I have so inside information. Want to hear it?"
The crowd perked up at this:
"Glasses, don't keep us in suspense, spit it out."
Everyone imdiately gathered around, including the female boss.
The office was full of ga enthusiasts.
Apart from working, they mostly talked about ga-related matters.
The bespectacled man grinned and said:
"I have a friend in the Shengshi Dynasty Elite Corps."
"He told ."
"This ti, our Hua Country War Zone's team will definitely shock players from all over the world!"
At the sa ti, he turned on his computer and accessed the official ga site.
Then, on the prediction thread for the top ten breakout players set up by the officials, he pointed at two nas and said:
"Bet all your gold coins on these two, guaranteed to be a sure thing."
Everyone looked in disbelief at the two nas the bespectacled man pointed at: "Lemon Bunny," "Mingn Yue'Er"...
"Two Priests?"
Soone who knew the bespectacled man well imdiately felt:
"I prepared a thousand gold coins, and you're telling to bet on two Priests making the top ten? Are you insane, or do you think I'm insane?"
The bespectacled man then beca serious and said:
"Anyway, I'm showing you a way to get rich. Whether you believe it or not, that's up to you."
Hearing this, everyone hesitated.
What was happening in this office was just a microcosm of what was happening across Hua Country.
In fact, it wasn't just in the office.
Even on TV, public transport, outdoor videos, etc.
It was as if they had conspired in advance, all broadcasting the event live.
An officially appointed, youthful lady was enthusiastically introducing the contestants in the live broadcast.
Among them were Satan J from the United States War Zone;
Emperor Pu from the Russian War Zone;
King Caesar from the Fuguo War Zone;
Chavez from the Indonesia War Zone;
Yamada Miki from the He Clan War Zone;
Cui Dongxu from the Goryeo War Zone;
Drunken Master from the Hua Country War Zone;
And more than a dozen "World Power Ranking" 'regular' players beca subjects of hot discussion.
Naturally, the officials wouldn't miss out on this rare 'money-making' opportunity and specially opened a betting pool.
Players could predict a target's final rank in advance, then use gold coins to bet.
The closer the predicted rank is, the higher the reward ratio.
Of course, there's another way to play.
Players could also predict the top ten players to advance to the next round.
Based on the number of correct predictions, players would receive corresponding reward ratios.
However, there's a condition: you must predict at least five correct nas to receive a reward.
The mont the participating players were announced, nurous people flooded the official site to place bets.
With less than an hour until the event started.
But now it seed like a worldwide celebration, with everyone eagerly waiting in front of the screens for the players from their war zones to put on a brilliant performance.
"Just 30 minutes left!"
In a side hall of the City Lord's Mansion in White Tiger City, the four mbers of the Shengshi Drunken Master team and others were waiting.
Seeing the event about to start, Handso looked a bit puzzled and said:
"What's Old Feng up to? Why isn't he here yet?"
Just then, Zhang Xinying suddenly spoke up:
"If he's not here, then he's not here."
Looking at the unresponsive dialogue box, a hint of disappointnt flashed in Zhang Xinying's eyes.
Even with a touch of disappointnt in her heart, she still acted as if she didn't care:
"He must have been held up by sothing."
Even though Lin Yi still showed as online, as soon as he logged in, he lost contact with everyone.
Everyone was curious, and Tianzi said:
"What could be more important than this competition right now?"
"And I didn't hear anything yesterday about any issue."
Stable as a mountain finally stepped up and said:
"Alright!"
"Let's not speculate here; we'll know if there's anything later."
"Brother Stable is right."
Zhan Chen said:
"Old Feng knows better than us what's important."
"If he's not here, it ans he really couldn't co for a reason."
"Let's just calmly wait for the event to start."
However, at this mont, the officials suddenly added a new rule to the event, causing an uproar worldwide.
The world channel was suddenly flooded with bright red announcents, stating:
"[Global Announcent] System: 'In the third round of the Leader of the Hundred Races contest, a new Rule 8 has been added: Once all players enter the God and Demon Battlefield, they will be randomly teleported to different locations; within the battlefield, only players from the sa war zone can communicate with each other.'
As soon as this ssage appeared, almost all participating players were visibly shocked.
Handso was astonished:
"There's such a move?!"
