Both he and Heibo harbored dreams and were willing to give their all for them. The only difference was that Chen Gu was a bit more "successful."
Moreover, this match boasted many gimmicks, the most attractive of which was the ultimate showdown of the Energy Gathering chanical Species!
Xiaoga Yexiong sighed deeply. No wonder the hype is so intense. After researching it for a while, even I'm starting to feel eager and can't wait to watch this match.
Then he checked the ticket prices for attending the event live. Even he silently closed the purchasing page; the prices had been inflated too much. Buying even a regular ticket would be a painful expense he'd feel for half a year.
He felt his face burning with embarrassnt again. This comrcial match was no "small change" affair; Chen Gu's inco was astonishingly high!
Even if Xiaoga Yexiong reached the heights he aspired to in the future, he might not earn as much money as this.
Xiaoga Yexiong cald down after a while and resud his analysis of the match. He then noticed a detail: almost all the sponsors were Chen Gu's, with very few on Heibo's side. This ant that after the match, the lion's share of the revenue would flow into Chen Gu's pockets, leaving only a tiny fraction for Heibo.
At this point, Xiaoga Yexiong still didn't know that Heibo was an arrangent by Beniers and his group. He could only sneer inwardly. That Chen Gu is truly insidious!
Then, he slowly closed all the browser tabs. A strong surge of envy for Chen Gu spontaneously arose within him...
The next day at work, Xiaoga Yexiong and Sanhi tacitly avoided ntioning that "comrcial match."
...
Heibo lived on an ordinary colony star, but these past few days he had been taken to Capital Star by the Alliance to prepare for battle.
Alliance photographers followed and fild his entire training process.
Footage that could be broadcast directly was imdiately sent to platforms that had purchased the live broadcast rights. Confidential segnts were preserved and would later be used as material for a docuntary, which could then be sold again.
The training facilities and coaches provided by the Alliance for Heibo were top-notch. He felt as if he were in a dream—this was a level of treatnt he had never dared to imagine before.
Moreover, these coaches quickly made him realize that many of his previous training thods were flawed. If he had access to such high-caliber coaches from the beginning, his achievents would undoubtedly be far greater.
After that day's training, the photographers uncharacteristically turned off all their caras and stopped tracking his daily life.
An Alliance official approached him, trying to sound as affable as possible, "Soone wants to see you."
Heibo was no fool. In fact, thanks to his years spent navigating chaotic, low-tier leagues, his judgnt and instincts were remarkably sharp. "Chen Gu?"
The official smiled. "Not just him. Co with ; you won't be disappointed."
"Heh," Heibo sneered. Not be disappointed? Is this implying Chen Gu will offer a large sum of money to deliberately lose the match? It's always the sa old routine. That's the habitual thinking of those wealthy people—believing money can buy anything they desire.
Heibo didn't object. He packed his things, took a shower, and went with the official.
While showering, he discreetly hung a miniature device on the inside of his clothes.
The people secretly backing him had given it to him beforehand, telling him it would inevitably prove useful at so point.
See? It's already proving useful.
As soon as Chen Gu proposes any dirty deal, this device will record the entire process. Then, at the opportune mont, I will expose this recording and utterly destroy Chen Gu's reputation!
The vehicle transported Heibo and the Alliance official to a restaurant secluded deep within a garden estate.
Chen Gu quite liked this place. He increasingly felt like a "great antagonist." In the movies and TV shows he had acted in or watched in his previous life, this was a common trope: the main villain would often entertain their rivals in such imposing, high-status locations.
Upon entering, Heibo rely shot Chen Gu an indifferent glance before casually plopping himself down, thoroughly displaying his contempt for the "authority" Chen Gu represented.
Chen Gu chuckled, tilted his head to look at him for a while, and then suddenly said, "You're so ugly; how could you possibly have such a beautiful and adorable daughter? She definitely takes after her mother..."
Heibo shot to his feet, his eyes blazing with fury as he roared, "If you dare use my daughter to threaten , I'll fight you to the death!"
Chen Gu waved his hand dismissively. "Bullshit. I'm not that crass. Sit down."
He gestured, and an adjacent door opened. A girl with an expressionless face walked in. Chen Gu said, "Today, I've arranged this reunion for you and your daughter. I simply hope you can approach the upcoming match with an undistracted mind. We have many sponsors who have invested heavily, and they are anticipating a perfect performance."
When Heibo saw the girl, his eyes moistened. He wanted to step forward, but her cold, indifferent expression made him hesitate to approach.
Chen Gu sighed inwardly, got up, and walked out, leaving the private room to them.
He beckoned to a waiter. "Just get a bowl of pickled greens beef noodles."
