“Hotpot Prince, I fully support you in building a city; it doesn’t affect any of us. But as for the battle on Black Tide Island this ti, I really can’t agree with your proposal.”
Bubble listened to Yin Hui’s plans for the final battle on Black Tide Island at the stronghold of Leaping Nucleus, nodding in agreent with the first part of the plan.
In Bubble’s eyes, the battle on Black Tide Island was just like the Battle for Divinity… both were new large-scale instances updated by the ga’s official for players.
It’s just that the map of Black Tide Island was revealed quite early, and the invasion event on Black Tide Island might still be due to Abyss Temple’s previous complaints… ‘Ga designers, I’ve built the city walls, but where are the monsters attacking the city?’
Players’ strongholds on Biland Island kept growing bigger, but the fact was that less and less monsters ca to siege them.
So it made sense for the ga designers to pull the monsters from Black Tide Island for a siege battle.
Therefore, in Bubble’s view, this eting was just like the previous Battle for Divinity, where Mo Shigui got everyone together to plan out the distribution of benefits, with no problems whatsoever.
The eight major guilds each had their own areas of responsibility, and other guilds and casual players could also happily participate in the ‘final battle instance’ under the command of the eight major guilds.
All was fine until Yin Hui ntioned the contents about the Beheading Squad, which made both Bubble and Qi Junzi’s expressions turn particularly subtle.
“The Magic Thieves from Black Tide Island are described in their background stories as having the Abyss’s blessing which allows them to respawn continuously, so we need to send an elite squad to completely destroy the lair of the Magic Thieves on Black Tide Island to secure our victory in this battle,” Yin Hui said.
There was a full map of Black Tide Island laid out on the wooden table in front of Yin Hui. This map had been published during the event preview of the battle at Black Tide Island earlier this morning.
Jiang Qiao, with intelligence provided by the main brain, had drawn up this important map, which outlined the locations of so important facilities of the Magic Thieves and their thods of entry. Combined with the pirates’ Tracking Technique… players could easily find the core facilities of the Magic Thieves, provided they could break through their defenses.
“Yin Hui, Boss Yin, Lv Yinling… listen to ,” Bubble interrupted Yin Hui, slamming his hands on the wooden table, while Qi Junzi, who was sitting beside, tried to interject several tis but held back, leaving Bubble to speak for Qi Junzi.
“All mbers of our guild can cooperate with you in this Black Tide Island battle, but Caral, Pudding, Can, Caffeine, Yuan Fan… the active players from Cola Frenzy won’t be able to participate in this beheading operation.”
Bubble took out a pen directly from his backpack and crossed out the nas that Yin Hui had written on a piece of paper. This list could be considered the dream team of China.
If the battle with Black Ash Knight was a gathering of the strongest victorious players on the server, then this list for the Beheading Squad included all of China’s well-known professional players.
After the second large-scale release of accounts in Holy Spirit World, those professional players who hadn’t qualified before had mostly secured their qualifications now, including so nas that Bubble wasn’t even familiar with.
But that wasn’t Bubble’s concern. What Bubble cared about was…
“The World Championship is coming up soon, and you should know that, Yin Hui,” Bubble beca very serious once again, so much so that he didn’t seem like his usual self. “Right now, our club’s players are preparing for the World Championship, and in a few days, they’ll be heading to the airport to fly to California. Holy Spirit World is indeed a lot of fun, but for Caral and the others, the World Championship is what they value most, the champion title of the World Championship is the most important thing in their lives! This should apply to your team mbers as well, right?”
Bubble’s words made Qi Junzi bite her lip lightly. She knew that the ga ‘Conflict’ was already behind compared to Holy Spirit World, but she still aspired to win the World Championship of ‘Conflict.’ She was willing to do anything for that championship title.
This kind of obsession could only be found in players like her… who had won championships. Players from Cola Frenzy and Leaping Nucleus, who hadn’t won a single title, must have an even greater desire. They trained hard for a whole year, two years, three years… all to prove themselves on that World Championship stage.
And now, for the sake of an instance in another ga, Yin Hui was asking the players to give up the upcoming championship trophy of the World Championship match? That was simply unreasonable.
“I’ve calculated the ti; the battle at Black Tide Island will start in five days, and if everything goes well… it should end within seven days, but that’s really just the best-case scenario.”
Yin Hui also doesn’t know how many tricks Denghis Xisi has up his sleeve; no matter how much he strengthens the forces of his Holy Spirit, he still can’t say he’s certain of victory.
“Boss Yin, you must be obsessed with Holy Spirit World?” At this point, Feng Yi, who was next to Qi Junzi, suddenly spoke up, “I heard at a club eting that the Dispute Alliance is going to investigate you now… I admit that Holy Spirit World is fun, but it’s just an instance event in a ga.”
“Feng Yi, stop talking,” Qi Junzi said coldly, shutting Feng Yi up.
“Why shouldn’t I speak? Boss Yin, you should really cut down the players’ Holy Spirit World ti. Now that public opinion has started to lean to one side again, and the World Championship is approaching, shouldn’t we concentrate on training…” When Feng Yi got to this point, he felt soone tap on his shoulder.
“Caral? I’m already level fifty now; I’m not afraid… What kind of a wrestling move is this! Stop!”
In the blink of an eye, Feng Yi found himself pinned to the ground by Zhao Mingwei, who had co up beside him and pressed him down with just one hand.
“Don’t you guys understand? Do you want to get swept by the Titan team and the Secret team again at the World Championship and then all of us join hands and stop at the top eight?” Although he was pinned down by Zhao Mingwei, Feng Yi’s chatter didn’t stop.
Feng Yi’s words made the atmosphere in the stronghold turn incredibly somber, and it was Pop Bubble who couldn’t help but break the silence.
“Boss Yin, taking this instance event so seriously wasn’t really necessary…” Pop Bubble said.
“If you think the battle at Black Tide Island is interfering with the players’ practice ti, you can quit… I’ve also found a few substitute players who should be able to fill the spots,” Yin Hui said after taking a deep breath, directing this remark specifically at Qi Junzi, whose players were all motivated by passion.
Qi Junzi and Feng Yi returned to secretly logging in every day, after all, the impact of the World Championship was just too big.
“Substitute players, Mr. Lv… are you sure the substitutes you found can reach our level?” Qi Junzi asked, still sowhat dubious.
“Aren’t there people from the training camp at Dynamic Nucleus?” Feng Yi suddenly butted in at this mont.
But the next second, Zhao Mingwei pressed his head straight to the ground.
“Co on! Fight fair without using that cheating move! Let’s do one-on-one! Caral… why do I feel like you’re particularly irritable today?” Feng Yi turned his head and suddenly backed down after catching a glimpse of Zhao Mingwei’s expression; the old captain’s presence was still there, as hardly anyone dared to speak when Zhao Mingwei wore a cold face.
But Zhao Mingwei rarely put on a cold face in the past; even if they lost a match miserably, Zhao Mingwei would just encourage everyone.
“Boss Yin, if this Beheading Squad really needs a team of professional first-line players to get through, I’m afraid the training camp players won’t be up to it, right?”
Other clubs didn’t need to participate in the World Championship, so they were quite willing to let their professional players join Yin Hui on this beheading mission.
However, if Yin Hui brought in a few duds, they wouldn’t be so pleased.
“No, the person’s here,” Yin Hui said, pointing toward the entrance of the stronghold.
All the eyes in the stronghold turned toward the entrance, everyone guessing which big-ti player from an unknown background Yin Hui had recruited this ti.
A girl with silver hair dressed in beginner’s gear stood at the entrance, and the LV1 label next to her looked particularly glaring, not to ntion the sprout title of ‘Newbie’ that stood out the most.
“Eh, eh, eh? So many familiar IDs? Are you all the underlings I’ve defeated before?” the girl looked at everyone in the stronghold and made a comnt that, once translated, was incredibly sarcastic.
“Who is this newbie?”
“Why does the red tangle look sowhat familiar?”
The players in the stronghold saw the girl’s ID was in Chinese, so for a mont they couldn’t rember who it was… until…
“Tangle, we et again.” After Zhao Mingwei called out the girl’s ID in English, a whole bunch of players who had fought her shuddered.
“Are you Caral? Oh! I rember now, the one lying down there is Black Ash?” Lu Wei squatted down in front of Feng Yi and said.
“Damn! Didn’t we beat you the year before last?” Feng Yi shouted in dissatisfaction.
Everyone instantly recognized who the girl was, the world’s top team’s strongest Bomber, who had been defeated in the semi-finals in last year’s world championship due to a minor weakness exploited by the rival team.
But the victory against her had been a hard-fought one, to call it a narrow victory would be an overstatent, it was more about luck.
“This year is different, but I think I’ll beat you in this ga first,” Lu Wei said, poking Feng Yi’s nose with her finger.
Feng Yi, held down by Zhao Mingwei, couldn’t fight back and could only keep biting at Lu Wei, but Zhao Mingwei pressed Feng Yi’s cheek back onto the ground again.
“Where are the others?” Zhao Mingwei looked up at Lu Wei and asked.
His network in the esports circle was quite extensive, known by people both dostically and internationally, or those who wanted to get to know him, aiming to defeat him as their professional goal.
“Hall and Lightery are here too. They were saying how boring the world championship would be if you retired,” Lu Wei was casually chatting with Zhao Mingwei.
On the side, all the guild presidents had fallen into a weird silence as if they had been hit by a silencing spell.
“You brought the Titan team over for scrimmages? Aren’t you afraid that the dostic public opinion will spill over internationally!” Bubble was nervously whispering to Yin Hui, “We were already having a negative impact by playing Holy Spirit, now by roping in international players, this could blow up big ti!”
“What’s there to fear? We used to rely on esports fan benefits, competition bonuses, and various other things to make money, all of which needed a fan base. But the money we make from the Holy Spirit fund now is much more than fan earnings,” Yin Hui replied.
“That’s not the point! We could have had it all, damn damn damn! The agenda is already being set!”
As Bubble thought of this, he imdiately opened Weibo, where a trending search titled ‘Vibrant Nucleus brings Titan player Lu Wei to try Holy Spirit World?’ ‘When will Holy Spirit’s parasitic marketing on esports end?’ caused him a headache.
The public outcry wasn’t just dostic; it was also making waves on so international social dia platforms due to Lu Wei streaming her Holy Spirit World gaplay.
Most Titan fans were worried, ‘Will playing other gas before the important world championship affect the players’ condition?’
“What to do? With this ss, the esports league will definitely start putting on the pressure,” Bubble said with a headache.
The reason for Bubble’s headache was that the dostic public sentint had been relatively stable, although there were people setting the agenda, it wasn’t enough to make headlines.
But Titan’s popular player Lu Wei livestreaming Holy Spirit World and having an altercation with Vibrant Nucleus players at the Holy Spirit stronghold?
For the dia, this was huge news! All the world’s attention focused on Lu Wei in an instant.
At that mont, the nonexistent conflict between Holy Spirit players and esports players suddenly erged and escalated rapidly.
“I don’t know what to do. Isn’t it common for clubs to get slandered?” Yin Hui said, shrugging helplessly.
“It’s not just slander now… wait, what’s this?” As Bubble furiously refreshed the Weibo trending searches, he spotted a new headline at the top.
It was ‘Holy Spirit Black Tide Island Ultimate Battle Rewards.’
“Did Holy Spirit buy the trending search?” Bubble asked incredulously to Yin Hui, the major shareholder of Holy Spirit.
“Holy Spirit doesn’t need to buy trending searches with its current status, and besides, Weibo is just for laughs,” Yin Hui said, but he still clicked into the suddenly appearing keyword ranked thirty-seven.
Although ranked only thirty-seven, it was an official announcent from Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit Black Tide Island Ultimate Battle Rewards.
Such rewards should have been announced on the official website. An online ga’s rewards are usually top-tier equipnt, the rarest mounts, and costus, limited to in-ga rewards.
While these rewards are attractive to the ga’s players, they an nothing, nor are they known to those who don’t play the ga.
But the best reward for the final battle of Holy Spirit Black Tide Island is…
A property deed for a fully furnished 120 square ter apartnt.
What the hell?
Bubble scratched his head, baffled, wondering if he had mistook it for so strange real estate advertisent.
But he wasn’t mistaken. Amid the fanciful background image and narrative, there were several prizes described that felt thoroughly out of place.
The description of the reward went like this…
“The Holy Spirit fund is dedicated to all the Holy Spirits who bravely fight for the world we treasure. Whether it’s in the world of Holy Spirit or in the real world as warriors, you deserve unparalleled rewards! In the Holy Spirit world you get powerful equipnt and rare mounts, but what about the real world? Here, the Holy Spirit fund presents to you, the defenders against the Black Tide on our holand! You will receive sothing you’ve dread of in the real world—a property deed for a fully-furnished apartnt valued at three million.”
The initial description of the rewards was very ga-like and fantastical, full of zeal. But the latter part of the reward was so grounded, it felt like it had dug deep into reality.
“Very blunt,” Bubble comnted after a silence.
“But many will like it,” Yin Hui said, also sowhat at a loss for words.
“Will this reward really be honored?” Three million wasn’t a big deal to Bubble, but to the vast majority, even to the esports players, it was a very tempting offer.
“It will, because it’s provided by one of the shareholders,” Yin Hui answered.
“Ah? Who?”
“The owner of Night Rush, he exchanged a few apartnts for a spot in the Holy Spirit fund,” Yin Hui said.
“Damn real estate developers,” Bubble spat vehently.
