The hardware-level flaw in Lightning was fixed, but the main suspect, Maha Kamal, did not appear. This made Shi Lei a little disappointed.
Shi Lei solved the problem of Lightning being hacked, while Shuangqing TV Station was actively solving the problem of Central TV Station banning the broadcast of the World of Bravehearts.
Shuangqing TV Station's Deputy Station Head Xu Bo personally came forward to rope in the higher-ups of five local television stations. The higher-ups of six television stations collectively complained to the General Administration of Television, requesting them to sanction Central TV Station.
The six television stations were able to produce evidence that Central TV Station was' abusing its authority for a private grudge '. Although this evidence was not sufficient, there were some things that did not require evidence!
The matter between the General Administration of Television and the television stations was an internal matter to begin with. Was there a need for concrete evidence to bring it to the 'outside'?
Faced with the complaints of six local television stations, even the General Administration of Television could not casually brush them off. After a three-hour video conference discussion, Central TV Station finally could not withstand the pressure and was defeated by the six local television stations.
Shuangqing TV Station regained the permission to broadcast the first live broadcast of the World of Bravehearts. Central TV Station's previous administrative order was nullified by the General Administration of Television.
In the game between the six local television stations and Central TV Station, they won. Shuangqing TV Station's Deputy Station Head Xu Bo gained a lot of benefits.
This time, with him taking the lead against Central TV Station, the higher-ups of the six local television stations formed a small internal alliance.
They would support each other and become each other's backup force.
With the support of this small alliance, Xu Bo would gain a considerable advantage when competing for the position of Station Head of Shuangqing TV Station!
Shuangqing TV Station broadcasted the World of Bravehearts again and received the support of a large number of viewers. The viewership ratings rose sharply, and in a short period of time, it rushed to the top ten in the country.
This was because the eighteenth round of the World of Bravehearts' first World of Bravehearts Tournament had not yet begun.
Currently, Shuangqing TV Station was mainly broadcasting the scenery of the World of Bravehearts, as well as some information about the players.
Through Shuangqing TV Station's publicity, some young and middle-aged people in the Xia Xia region who originally did not intend to play games began to plan to enter the World of Bravehearts.
There were also many elderly people who were also prepared to enter the World of Bravehearts because of the Chess Entertainment System. com
Time passed quickly.
At 7 PM sharp, the World of Bravehearts' system officially announced the list of the top 100 players.
This list of names shocked all the players.
This was because there were three special names on the list: White-clothed Swordsman Liu Rufeng, Shadow Assassin Mu Donglin, and Scorching Sun Berserker Qiao Mo.
The special thing about these three names was that they were followed by a bracket, indicating that they were not controlled by the player.
In other words, there were three non-player characters participating in the Top 100 Tournament.
Some players with conspiracy theories immediately started spreading rumors in the official forum. They claimed that Dream Entertainment was trying to use non-player characters to get into the top three of the first Wulin Tournament so that they could save on the high prize money.
In any case, it was a virtual character that was not controlled by the player that won. Were they supposed to give the prize money to the non-player controlled character?
However, as soon as these players posted their posts, they were fiercely attacked.
It wasn't just the Xia Xia players who were flaming them. Even the overseas players were flaming these players in their own languages.
The reason why these players with conspiracy theories were being criticized was because they didn't read the information released by the main system in detail.
In the eighteenth round of the tournament, three non-player characters were added because three of the top 100 players were surrounded and killed again.
In order to curb this evil trend, Shi Lei directly decided to add in three non-player characters to fill up the empty spots of the three players who were killed.
Moreover, the equipment, level, and attributes of the non-player characters were exactly the same as the players who were replaced.
However, to show that Dream Entertainment wasn't trying to steal the prize money, if the non-player characters won, they wouldn't receive any prize money. They would only receive a ranking and the prize money would be given to the next player in the ranking.
For example, if the White-clothed Swordsman Liu Rufeng obtained the title of World Number One and Storm obtained the second place, Storm would only obtain the title of "Heavenly Leaderboard Master" but would receive the prize money of the first place.
It was this rule that caused the conspiratorial players to be flamed by the other players!
Regarding the participation of the three non-player characters, no matter if it was the top 100 players or the players who were eliminated, they didn't have much of an opinion.
After all, the three non-player characters only "inherited" the attributes, equipment, and level of the players who were replaced. They weren't directly based on the highest level, strongest equipment, or highest attributes of the players who were replaced.
If the three non-player characters had the level of Jun Wuhui, Demonization with a Thought, and half of the legendary equipment set of Super Tycoon Storm, the other players wouldn't be able to fight. They might as well surrender!
Dream Entertainment's officials came up with a perfect solution to the situation where the number of contestants decreased. It further increased the fairness of the tournament.
The players were looking forward to seeing how the three non-player characters would fare against the players.
In the official player forums, the majority of players maintained a superior attitude towards the mainstream attitude of non-players controlling characters.
The players thought that the non-player characters were cold numerical programs. They didn't care about the non-player characters at all.
Compared to the non-player characters, the players had a huge advantage if they were of the same level and strength.
According to the players' own statistics, the winning rate of players against non-player characters was more than 80%!
It was also because of this that most of the top 100 players didn't care about the three non-player characters.
Only a small portion of the players felt a sense of danger from these three non-player characters.
Storm, Jun Wuhui, and Qi Xinzhou were among them.
Storm was known to treat the non-player characters as his girlfriend. Do you think Storm would care about the non-player characters?
A large group of pretty female players all took it as their mission to save Storm and escape from the second dimension. However, Storm was stubborn!
Jun Wuhui changed his mind halfway and successfully killed his way to the top of the Hero World ranking. He knew the strength of the non-player characters very well.
As for Qi Xinzhou?
There was a story between Qi Xinzhou and the non-player characters that had to be told!
Qi Xinzhou was Qi Xinzhou's second character. His first character was called Seven Hearts Bell.
If Seven Hearts Bell hadn't died, he would have been at least level 25.
The death of Seven Hearts Bell was related to the non-player characters.
Qi Xinzhou had discovered a grudge between the non-player characters in the Hero World.
A rapist not controlled by a player intended to humiliate another character not controlled by a player.
How could Qi Xinzhou, who had a strong sense of justice, do nothing?
The righteous Qi Xinzhou and the rapist fought for more than two hours. In the end, Qi Xinzhou lost and paid the price with his life.
However, the rapist didn't have it easy either. He was severely injured by Qi Xinzhou and was arrested by the authorities.
Unfortunately, Qi Xinzhou's character, Seven Hearts Bell, had died. Otherwise, he would have been rewarded by the authorities and obtained more benefits.
These three players all treated the three characters not controlled by players as strong opponents.
What made them happy was that they didn't clash with the non-player characters.
They could observe the competition between the other players and the non-player characters and judge the strength of the three non-player characters.
8 PM.
The eighteenth round of the Hero World's First Martial Arts Tournament had officially begun!
Shuangqing TV Station started to broadcast the Hero World's competition as planned.
At the same time, they added three non-player characters to the broadcast.
Storm's opponent was easily defeated by Storm. The entire process didn't even take three minutes.
The power of half a set of Level 40 Legendary equipment was no small matter.
The players who encountered Storm didn't have any thoughts of resisting and sped up the end of the competition.
Jun Wuhui's opponent gave him a little trouble.
After all, other than being first in level, Jun Wuhui didn't have any other strong achievements. Even the matter of killing Mr. Jin fell to Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt, and the other players didn't know about it.
However, since Jun Wuhui was able to become the player with the highest level, how could he be weak?
He only spent a little effort and successfully defeated his opponent. The whole process took five minutes. After Storm, he was the second player to finish the competition.
Qi Xinzhou's new avatar, Xinzhou Zi, wasn't high in level, and his combat stats weren't high. He was considered the weakest among the top 100 players.
During the battle, his opponent was overjoyed.
However, the result was very tragic. This player, who thought he had picked a soft persimmon, was easily killed by Qi Xinzhou.
Qi Xinzhou put on a classic show of the weak defeating the strong!
The three people who valued the non-player characters all finished the competition as fast as they could. They were prepared to observe the non-player characters in the competition.
Among the three non-player characters, only one was more famous, and that was Thunderbolt, who had the peerless shackle-grade God Weapon, Ash Tooth.
Thunderbolt's opponent was the white-clothed swordsman, Liu Rufeng. Thunderbolt was level 22, and Liu Rufeng was also level 22. Thunderbolt had a peerless shackle-grade God Weapon, and Liu Rufeng's weapon wasn't anything good.
According to the attributes of the peerless shackle-grade God Weapon, Liu Rufeng's chances of winning were almost zero!
