Chapter 197: Chapter 197: The Real First Kill (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Translator: 549690339
The host Zhao Li gave a little cough, and quietly said, “Guys, stop waving your hands. Uh… you’d better stop laughing too.”
The commander of the Red Mansion Team immediately got upset, whispering, “What kind of rule is this? We can’t even laugh?”
“This is too much, what’s wrong with celebrating our victory?”
“Exactly, you’re overstepping, we are still second place. The audience is cheering so passionately, shouldn’t we respond?”
“Damn, did you guys predetermine the places and we stole them?”
“There’s foul play.”
The elite group of the Red Mansion was chuckling and waving to the audience while mumbling.
“Motherf**ker.”
KB was so angry he wanted to curse.
The president of the Red Mansion Team and the person in charge of the carnival had already announced about Prairie Fire about to conquer the master level difficulty.
The situation now is that the awarding ceremony certainly cannot be stopped. Otherwise, all the efforts of today would be wasted. The higher-ups decided to keep it low-key.
Originally planned segments like music, lighting, interactive sessions with celebrities, were all cancelled. They handed over the certificates in a low-profile manner and called it a day. The trophy would only be available at the headquarters tomorrow.
Their plan was to tone down the awards ceremony and end it quietly. At this point, the higher-ups were no longer optimistic.
“Um, things have changed unexpectedly. I can’t explain clearly, just play it down a bit,” Little Ze forced out a smile and said.
“What the hell? Why? We had to be low-key before the competition, and now we have to be low-key after winning. You’d better explain.”
“Exactly, why? Otherwise, this matter won’t end.”
“Damn it, we can’t really explain this. Do you think we would harm you?” KB said irritably.
Thankfully, the microphone hadn’t been turned on yet. Otherwise, seeing the commentators quarrel with the elite team, the audience would surely get more excited.
“Explain it clearly. Who knows if there’s any inside trade between you.”
“Too dark.”
“The official competition hasn’t even started yet. How could this happen.”
“Ah, morality is degenerating day by day. We can’t let this go. Let’s ask the president to plead for us.”
Seeing that the two commentators were about to burst with anger, Zhao Li hurriedly said, “Could you calm down, please? Let me give you a brief explanation. A team is on the verge of successfully raiding the Evil Cave.”
“Hah, we succeeded a long time ago. What does their raid have to do with us?”
“A lot of people are watching. Could you possibly change the second rank and give it to them?”
The people of the Red Mansion team were furious. They were still in high spirits, just standing at the peak of their lives. They hadn’t even had the chance to enjoy the sweet fruit of victory when they ran into this ridiculous situation. It would be strange if they weren’t angry.
Calm down, your mom.
“Damn it, let them strut. Anyway, we’ve already got the word out, whether they listen or not is their problem,” KB, known for his hot temper, said: “Go and embrace the cheers. They’re raiding the master level dungeon. The final boss’s health is almost depleted.”
“Damn it, we already killed our boss a long time ago. Are you stupid, or what… wait, what? Master level?” the commander of the Red Mansion team said, stunned.
“What else? Keep waving and boasting,” KB said coldly.
Seeing on the chat that Li Yao didn’t participate in the competition, and considering the operator’s saddened expression, they knew.
There must be some trick here. Even though they don’t know the details, it’s clear that these people want to pull Li Yao to their side but were rejected. Then, using their influence, they blocked Li Yao from participating in the competition.
And what happened? They overplayed. Since you won’t let me participate, I won’t. Dungeon exploring isn’t exclusive to competitions. I can do it too. Moreover, it’s master level.
The expressions on the faces of the Red Mansion Elite team froze instantly.
“Big brother, this joke is not funny at all,” the team leader took a deep breath and said: “We have already reached our limit by completing the elite mode. Master level, you’ve got to be joking.”
“Yes, all difficulties were released simultaneously. We were the first to go in. It’s impossible for them to be raiding the master level so soon.”
“Up to you. We’ve said all we needed to say. Your team captain is right over there,” Little Ze waved his hand helplessly.
Seeing the extremely gloomy expression on their leader’s face, the team members instantly believed it. Their eyes widened in shock. “Darn it, you can’t play like this.” They were all puzzled, not knowing what to do. Their waving arms froze, and they all turned into statues.
“This Prairie Fire has too much resentment. He played too hard this time. A disagreement, and he flips the table. If he can’t play, he won’t let others play either. Really…” KB didn’t know how to describe Li Yao anymore, he still has chills running down his spine.
“This time the Ancient Gods Company is going to change a batch of people. Actually, it’s a good thing. Those guilds and clubs are too arrogant. They really think they can control the e-sports circle. This time, it’s a wake-up call for them. Hopefully, they will sober up and change the continuous depression of Chinese e-sports,” Little Ze murmured quietly.
“You’re right.” There was a bit of struggle in KB’s eyes, but he seemed to have made up his mind, saying, “I’ve made a decision. If someone has to take responsibility, I’ll take it.”
With that, KB reopened the previously closed holographic screen. He had closed the main holographic screen earlier to control the impact and at least to ensure that the carnival ended relatively peacefully.
“I’m part of this too.” Little Ze laughed and opened all the holographic screens. The scene was calm, only showing the dark Evil Cave.
The audience was confused. The holographic screens had already been turned off. What’s the point of looking at the dead body of the boss?
But those big shots were terrified and furious, especially the person in charge of the Chinese Carnival. His face instantly turned pale. He shakily connected to the communication.
“Boss, what’s the matter?” a staff member said in the communication.
“Close, close all the holographic screens, quickly… strip the two commentators of their holographic screen control rights…”
However, before he could finish speaking, an extremely conspicuous rainbow holographic screen began to flash. Everyone was stunned.
“System: Congratulations to the Prairie Fire team for achieving the first-kill in the master-level difficulty Evil Cave. Glory is universal. Reward: faction reputation +300, personal talent point +1.”
“System: Congratulations to the Prairie Fire team for achieving the first-kill in the master-level difficulty Evil Cave. Glory is universal. Reward: faction reputation +300, personal talent point +1.”
“System: Congratulations to the Prairie Fire team for achieving the first-kill in the master-level difficulty Evil Cave. Glory is universal. Reward: faction reputation +300, personal talent point +1.”
Unlike the regular text for the elite level announcement, these were displayed in a very eye-catching rainbow holographic screen, and they were displayed three times in a row.
Underneath the rainbow announcement were all the game names of the team members in normal text.
The person in charge, the guild’s big shots, and the Red Mansion’s team members, who had just sobered up, were dumbfounded again. The tens of thousands of people who were watching the carnival live and those who were still watching it online, were all stunned.
Originally, the boiling carnival scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence, eerily creepy…
