Winner takes all. Vienna's Sorrow walked out of the battle room with an ugly expression on his face. Hero Alliance had been determined to win this tournament, and they had even declared that they would leave the champion and MVP in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, we, who had traveled all the way here, still managed to snatch away the highest honor in the end. Fans of the book also liked to read:
On the big screen, the rankings of the champions and runners-up were already flashing. Moreover, the rewards for each ranked team were also being broadcasted.
… …
When we walked down the stage, Li Chengfeng ran up to me and hugged me. He slapped my shoulder so hard it felt like my bones were about to break. "Hahaha, that was so cool! Not only did you beat Vienna's Sorrow until he couldn't fight back, you even fought Breeze and Rain and God of War at the same time! Only you, Lu Chen, can pull off such a feat!"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes complained from the side, "He probably would've died if he didn't have better equipment when he fought Breeze and Rain, but didn't he get killed by Vienna's Sorrow in the second round? Even if he did manage to kill Vienna's Sorrow, he wouldn't have much HP left. It's not like Vienna's Sorrow doesn't stand a chance against him …"
Li Chengfeng's face immediately turned dark. "You know what happens when you make fun of others …"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes spat. "Why are you always learning from Sister He Yi?"
Li Chengfeng laughed loudly. "Whatever. Anyway, it's time for Lu Chen to treat us to a meal, right?"
I nodded. "Sure, no problem. We'll have a feast for three days and three nights …"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes curled her lips. "In that case, I'll go to Suzhou with you guys …"
Me: "..."
… …
The tournament was over, and the acceptance speeches were over. Now, it was time for the practical stuff. The tournament rewards were flashing on the big screen, and I had to admit that the rewards of the internationals were much better than the nationals. 17th to 32nd place rewards: Level + 2, Luck + 2, 10k EUR per player, and one chance to draw a Heaven-grade item at best!
9th to 16th place rewards: Level + 3, Luck + 3, 20k EUR per player, and one chance to draw a Heaven-grade item at best!
5th to 8th place rewards: Level + 4, Luck + 4, 100k EUR per player, and one chance to draw an Immortal-grade item at best!
3rd and 4th place rewards: Level + 5, Luck + 5, 200k EUR per player, and one chance to draw an Immortal-grade item at best!
Runner-up rewards: Level + 6, Luck + 6, 500k EUR per player, and one chance to draw a Divine Armament item at best!
Champion Reward: Level + 8, Luck + 8, Every player will receive a reward of 1,000,000 euros, and a chance to draw a prize of up to a Transcendent-Grade item!
… …
Song of Cloud and Water, Ringwraith, Song of Ice and Fire, God Bone, and Ringwraith were the only ones to receive their prizes. The procedure was quick and simple, and the lucky draw was only a Heaven-grade item. Song of Cloud and Water got a 4-star Outstanding Heaven-grade shield that could sell for around 50k RMB at a stall in Sky City. Not only that, she also got 10k EUR per player, so her hard work was definitely worth it. Moreover, the Level + 2 and Luck + 2 weren't the only things that mattered. Most people didn't come to the tournament for equipment, but for Luck. What kind of equipment wouldn't drop if you killed a few bosses?
After the lottery, according to the statistics, 60% of people got Heaven-grade equipment, 35% got Earth-grade equipment, and 5% unlucky people got Purple Gold equipment. The few people from Ukraine got two Purple Gold equipment, and they were so excited that they cried. Fans of the book also liked to read: "."
Next up, the 9th to 16th place teams got much better rewards. Level + 3, Luck + 3, and 90% of the participants got a Heaven-grade item.
After that, it was finally time for the main event. The top eight teams would draw for the lottery.
Tear Stain's Throne of the Wild team and Candlelight Shadow's Candle Dragon team entered the arena. They probably didn't think that they would end up in the Top 8 either.
Tear Stain stood in front of Candlelight Shadow and said, "Candlelight, we all lost, but …"
Candlelight Shadow shook his head.
"You don't need to prove anything to me. I told you that I belong to China, and I'll return to China after I graduate. Therefore, it's best if we don't interact as much as we can. The China server and the Korean server are at war right now, and I will never waver!"
Tear Stain stood there blankly for a moment before nodding. "Alright, I support your decision. However, I will continue to challenge Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand until I defeat him!"
Candlelight Shadow snorted, but didn't say anything.
… …
Candlelight Shadow, Tear Stain, God's Dance, and the other two Korean players got Immortal-grade rewards. Blue Sky Scar got a Heaven Rank boss pet too. Everyone got 100k EUR as a reward. That was a lot of money!
Lin Yixin rose to her feet and said, "Bless me. I'm going to get a Divine Weapon …"
I smiled. "Third and fourth place teams won't get a Divine Weapon. You should be happy that you got an Archean Immortal-grade item …"
Lin Yixin waved her fist. "Hmph, let's go. Fans like to read:!"
Snowy Cathaya and Cyan Beast went up to receive their prizes. Breeze and Rain and God of War were staring at them coldly. They were definitely unhappy that they failed to reach the top.
Breeze and Rain couldn't help but feel a bit envious when he saw Lin Yixin's beauty. He smiled and said in broken Chinese, "Wind Fantasy is so strong, but … it's a shame that I didn't get the chance to spar with you!"
Purple Marquis laughed from the side and said, "What sparring? You were killed by her boyfriend!"
"What? You have a boyfriend?" Breeze and Rain exclaimed in shock.
Shadow Chanel smiled. "The guy who killed you in the semifinals, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand …"
"I …" Breeze and Rain's face turned ashen.
God of War patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "The Chinese have an old saying, 'grass grows everywhere in the world' …"
A layer of frost covered Lin Yixin's face. "Hey, stop pretending if you don't know how to speak Chinese. There will be plenty of opportunities in the Nation Wars, and we'll meet again!"
Breeze and Rain clenched his fists and said sadly, "I don't know what love at first sight is, but I swear I'll beat Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and change your opinion of me!"
Lin Yixin giggled. "Do what you want."
… …
Below the stage, Lian Xin said in a dumbfounded tone, "Aiya, Lin Yixin really is a femme fatale. She's making enemies for you everywhere she goes. Just you wait, Breeze and Rain is going to be your nemesis from now on …"
I smiled. "It's fine. You can block him for me. Fans like to read:!"
"He's too fast, I can't beat him …"
"Then you need to keep working hard!"
Lian Xin blinked and said angrily, "She's your girlfriend, you're mine!"
Li Chengfeng laughed heartlessly, "It's too messy!"
Me: "..."
… …
Lin Yixin nervously stood in front of the lucky draw machine, and her snow-white finger lightly tapped on the main screen. A blue curtain of data appeared, and the disk began to spin. Lin Yixin's beautiful eyes desperately tried to discern what it was, but she couldn't see it clearly, and she was almost dizzy. In the end, she bit her lip and pressed confirm.
The wheel spun rapidly and slowly came to a stop. A flaming female combat suit appeared in front of her, and it jumped over the wheel and stopped on top of a black shield. System Notice: Player "Wind Fantasy" has obtained the reward [Giant Jungle Turtle Shield] (Heaven-grade?
Outstanding ★ ★ ★)!
"Wah …" Lin Yixin's mouth fell open.
I curled my lips speechlessly. "I can hear Yiyi's heart shattering …" He Yi pursed her lips.
"Poor Yiyi. She's so unlucky. The female combat suit in front of the shield looks like a Divine Armament. It's glowing orange …"
I nodded. "Yeah, it's no surprise that the third or fourth place would get a Divine Armament. It's just too bad that Yiyi isn't so lucky …"
"Yeah …"
On the other side, Breeze and Rain had drawn the same wheel as Lin Yixin, and we saw the female combat suit as well. After the wheel clattered, we saw that Breeze and Rain had obtained an Archean Immortal-grade sword that looked even better than the one he was holding. He looked excited for a moment, but a little regretful later, he pointed at the wheel and said, "If I can get that female combat suit, I'll give it to you!" Lin Yixin sneered.
Lin Yixin sneered. "Don't! I can't afford such an expensive gift!"
… …
Stranger of Three Lifetimes pouted at me and said, "Lu Chen, someone is trying to woo your girlfriend. Why aren't you saying anything?"
I clenched my fists in anger. "Goddammit, I'm going to attack Cyan Earth City and destroy Breeze and Rain's base after we get back to the country!"
Warsky glared at me. "Is this what it means to be angry for a woman?
Cyan Earth City is surrounded by Elephant City and Purple Grape City, and we won't even get out of White Rose Fortress before we get to Cyan Earth City. Don't you think your reason for fighting Cyan Earth City for Lin Yixin is a shitty one … "
I turned around and said, "We're going to fight, and Warsky Alliance is at the forefront."
Warsky hurriedly shook his head. "No, I'm not going to be that stupid …"
Beiming Xue pulled my arm and said, "Big bro, look! Purple Marquis is going to draw a prize, and I think it's …"
Everyone looked at the stage and saw that Purple Marquis's roulette had stopped on the fiery female battle armor. Purple Marquis's heart immediately broke. How could a man like him afford to wear something like this — [Fire Goddess Battle Armor] (Cambrian Divine Armament) Outstanding Property: Outstanding Property: [Fire Goddess Battle Armor] (Cambrian Divine Armament)
