Shanghai, Eternal Moon Corporation's southern headquarters in China. Fans Still Like To Read.
Opening the car window, a light drizzle drifted in, and a unique building appeared in front of them. The overall design was like a six-pointed star formation, formed by many buildings, and in the center was a giant sword that soared into the sky, dazzling.
Two statues that were dozens of meters tall stood in front of the building. The one on the left was a sinister-looking monster wielding a skull blade. It was the legendary Great Saint, and the one on the right was a statue of the Dragon Speaker, Ice Orchid. The goddess who sacrificed her life to defend humanity's last right to survival was facing off against a Demon God. The tension between the two was palpable.
I couldn't help but sigh. Eternal Moon Corporation really was rich. This building alone was probably unparalleled in the world.
… …
Beep beep!
Behind me, Lin Yixin honked at me to hurry up. It was past 3 pm right now because of the traffic jam.
I couldn't find the entrance to the venue, so I slowly drove forward. It wasn't long before a couple of girls with employee tags appeared in front of me. One of them, a long-haired girl, walked up to me and asked, "Sir, are you here to participate in the Who Will Rise tournament?
If you are, please tell us your ID. Fans Still Like To Read. "
I nodded and said, "I'm Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand."
"Ah?"
The girl's mouth fell open for a long time. Her eyes were full of stars. "You're Lu Chen?
Hehe, you're so handsome. Er … "
She leaned forward and looked inside the car. "Wow, these three must be From Water, Beiming Xue, and Murong Mingyue, right?
I've heard a lot about you ~ ~ "
He Yi giggled. "Alright, I'll be embarrassed if you keep praising us. Can you tell us where we can park our car?"
"Oh, please follow me. We'll register after we park our car!"
"Mn!"
The girl walked in front of me, and I followed her to a parking lot on the ground. After we parked our car, Lin Yixin opened the door and walked out. She landed lightly on the ground, and her white sneakers were especially eye-catching. She was wearing sportswear, but she looked as pure as snow. Xu Yang, Gui Guzi, and the others were stunned by her beauty.
… …
"Ah?
You … you are … "The beautiful employee stared at Lin Yixin with as much surprise as she was staring at me. It took her a while to say," You're the guild leader of Snowy Cathaya, Wind Fantasy, aren't you? "
Lin Yixin nodded with a smile. "Nice to meet you …"
"Hehe, nice to meet you. I didn't expect to see you all here at the same time. Come with me, let's go sign in and check into the hotel. There's a press conference for the Who Will Rise offline tournament tonight."
"Yes."
…
At the registration site, more than half of the 32 teams participating in the offline tournament had already arrived. There were 160 players participating in the tournament, and everyone could get their own participant card. Otherwise, they would not be able to enter the venue.
High Fighting Spirits, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun and the rest had also arrived. Chaos Moon smiled at me and asked me, "Lu Chen, I heard that you guys defeated Candle Dragon's second seed during the preliminaries?" "That's right.
"Yes, it's nothing."
"Hehe!"
It was at this moment a group of people walked toward us arrogantly, and their leader was a very familiar person. Upon closer inspection, I realized that it was none other than Pillar of the Nation from the game. Both Little Piglet and Shangguan Wan 'er were standing next to him. Little Piglet was a handsome young man with a faint smile on his face, and Shangguan Wan' er was as quiet as an iceberg beauty. Beside her was a super perverted young man who was fawning over her. It was none other than the high-level priest, Profound Puff.
… …
"Long time no see, Eve!"
Wang Dongliang walked up to us and greeted us with a smile on his face. "You didn't expect this, did you? Hegemon Palace has entered the Top 32 as well!"
He Yi shot him a glance before saying, "I hope you get eliminated in the first round."
"..."
Wang Dongliang rubbed his nose unhappily. He Yi grabbed my hand and said, "Now that we've signed in and gotten our room cards, shall we?"
"Mn."
The Frost Cloud workshop and Li Chengfeng were in the same party, so their rooms were connected to each other. We were on the 11th floor, so I grabbed He Yi and Beiming Xue's luggage. It wasn't much, and it was only two days since the tournament was going to be held tomorrow afternoon. We could go home the next day after that.
I opened the door and helped the girls settle down before we gathered in my room.
"Ah, it's been a long day. I'm so tired …"
He Yi ran her fingers through her hair and sat on the bed. "The tournament is tomorrow, so what should we do tonight? I don't think I'm in the mood to grind. Fans like to read more."
I sat on the windowsill and stared at the busy crowd outside the building. There were still a lot of contestants coming to sign in. I smiled and said, "Isn't there a banquet tonight?
It's Who Will Rise's press conference, and it's almost bedtime. "
"Mn."
Murong Mingyue nodded and sat on my bed as well. She pressed the mattress and smiled. "Lu Chen's bed is so soft. Do you want to squeeze into it tonight?"
I replied expressionlessly, "Fuck, don't all hotel beds look the same?"
Beiming Xue asked, "Oh right, where is Li Chengfeng?"
"I don't know if he's here yet."
It was at this moment a knock came from outside the door. "Lu Chen, are you there?"
It was that guy's voice. Speak of the devil.
I got up to open the door, and Li Chengfeng walked into the room drenched in rain. He laughed and said, "Yo, you're all here?
I'm not interrupting anything, am I? "
"No. Did you just get here?"
"Mn, I rushed over as soon as I got off the plane."
Li Chengfeng smiled. Then, his expression suddenly turned serious. "I saw Candlelight Shadow downstairs just now!"
"Candlelight Shadow?!"
"Mn!"
I gritted my teeth and said, "I wonder how the Top 32 matchups are going to go. Will we run into Candle Dragon early?"
"I don't know. We'll draw lots during the banquet later!"
"Oh?
Interesting. Who's going to fight in the opening match? "
"Let us compete with Torch Dragon. That would be the best. Fans like to read:!"
"Hahaha!"
The two of them were so arrogant that they didn't think anything of Candle Dragon. Beiming Xue simply shook her head.
… …
Not long after, Xu Yang came and knocked on the door. "Everyone, the press conference is in ten minutes. Shall we go to the banquet hall?"
"Mn."
We hurriedly cleaned up, and the girls touched up their makeup. We were going to a big event like this, so we couldn't embarrass Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. In fact, they were so beautiful that they could one-shot everyone in the audience even if they didn't use makeup.
… …
The banquet hall was filled with more than forty tables. Some were for the players, and some were for the leaders.
"Hello!"
A female employee came over and said with a smile, "I am the customer service manager of Heavenblessed's Shanghai region, Qin Xiaotian. You are Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, From Water, and Beiming Xue of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, right?"
"Mn."
I nodded and said, "Qin Xiaotian, I know you. You used to be a member of the Snow Moon workshop, and your ID is Summer Last Year, right?"
Qin Xiaotian smiled. "Aiyo, I didn't think that my legend would still exist after so many years. Even the Little Heavenly King, Falling Dust, remembers me. I'm so honored!"
"Are Shusheng, Ling Xue, and Ling Yue doing well?"
"Mn, they're doing fine. They've flown to New York, and the Eternal Moon HQ is discussing the new patch right now. Everyone else is reading as usual."
"Oh."
Qin Xiaotian looked at me and said, "Lu Chen, is it okay to arrange for you to sit with Snowy Cathaya?"
"Mn, okay!"
"Hehe, I knew it!"
Damn, Qin Xiaotian is at most 24 years old, and she's already a customer service manager at such a young age. I'm 24 years old, and I'm not even an official employee yet. What a failure!
… …
I sat down casually. Not long after, Snowy Cathaya's main team came over. I recognized Shadow Chanel and Clear Perfume, but there was another girl around 25 years old. She looked at us and couldn't help but say, "Why do these people look so familiar?"
Sun Qingqing burst into laughter and pointed at me. "Hongyan, this is Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!
This is the guild leader of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, From Water, and Beiming Xue, Murong Mingyue, and Legendary Brave. "
"I see …"
"Qingqing, who is this?" I asked in puzzlement.
Sun Qingqing said, "Oh, this is the new super bard who joined Snowy Cathaya recently, Beauty At First Sight. Holy Bard is a hidden class!"
I nodded and shot Shadow Chanel another glance. "Chanel seems to have advanced to a hidden class, Dark Tongue Mage. She's very strong, isn't she?"
Shadow Chanel smiled wickedly. "Don't worry, I'll show you the power of this class during the finals. Maybe you won't even have to wait until the finals."
Purple Marquis sat at the side with a smile, but he didn't say anything.
I asked, "Qingqing, where did Yiyi go?"
"She was called away by a few employees. Fans also like to read: Yiyi."
"Called away?"
"Mn."
Sun Qingqing nodded with a smile. "Heavenblessed China just signed a contract with Yiyi, and she took the opportunity to shoot a commercial. I heard that it'll only take a few seconds, and she'll be back soon!"
I was speechless. Beauty was truly powerful. Lin Yixin was officially invited by Eternal Moon Corporation to be their spokesperson. What kind of charm was that?!
Not long after, Lin Yixin came over with a flushed face. She angrily sat down next to me, and then shot me a glance. She suddenly exclaimed in shock, "OMG, Little Cheat, why are you sitting at this table?"
"I was assigned to this table. What's wrong?"
I tilted my head and saw a script in her hand. It looked like the lines of a commercial?
My interest was immediately piqued. "Yiyi, how did the commercial go?"
"Don't mention it."
"What's wrong?"
"Look at it yourself, and don't laugh …"
Lin Yixin placed the script on the table. I glanced at it and couldn't help but laugh. The lines were as follows — [Someone asked me what kind of life is colorful enough?]
[I think it's colorful enough to look forward to the next day's sunshine every night.]
[Someone asked me what kind of person I want to marry in the future.]
[I said I want to marry a Heavenblessed expert.]
[The ultimate experience of a whole new world. Do what you don't dare to do. Heavenblessed, you're the best!]
… …
"Fuck, which 213 wrote this line?" I laughed so hard that I was about to cry.
Lin Yixin gritted her teeth and punched me. "Bastard, I told you not to laugh!"
