Chapter 618 – Journey to Tian Ling City (1/2)
The opening ceremony itself was actually very boring. Li Mu, Wan Er, Qing Qian and I were already regretting the fact that we didn’t bring a pack of poker cards to play Chinese Poker. Just when we were about to be bored to death, Fei Er finally announced the beginning of the player representatives speeches. First up was the number one gamer from China——Fang Ge Que. Lu Chunyang pushed Fang Ge Que’s wheelchair to help him get up onto the stage, and Fei Er passed the microphone to him.
Gripping the microphone, Fang Ge Que looked at the several hundreds of players below the stage. He wryly smiled and said: “There are so many people here today, please don’t laugh if I tremble while speaking...actually, I didn’t prepare a script for today. But I would like to just say one thing.
Fang Ge Que left the stage to a thunderous applause. Even though the Hero’s Wings tournament hadn’t started yet, the smell of gunpowder between the players was already extremely thick.
Following that, it was time for the Korean players to go up the stage. A player that I didn’t recognise went up the stage and spoke a lot in Korean. After that, the accompanying staff used Chinese and English to translate his speech. The gist of his speech was: “Korean players are unparalleled under the heavens, just wait for our great simida-something* army to bloodbath you noobs.”
*TL Note: a sarcastic comment on Korean names, since its the only phrase most Chinese people know
Li Mu stared at the Korean representative who was on the stage and clenched his fist, “I really want to beat him to death…”
I calmly smiled, “Don’t rush. If you want to beat him to death, do it in the game. Besides, people who have the qualifications to come here aren’t people who are easy to deal with. If you want to beat him to death, you must be strong enough…”
Li Mu rubbed his nose, “Alright, I’ll work hard!”
At this moment, the American player representative went up the stage. It was that Kyle. After he went up the stage, a disdainful look appeared in his eyes. He looked at the many players below the stage, and started to use English to deliver his speech. My English wasn’t especially praiseworthy, and I couldn’t understand the majority of his speech. But when he finished speaking, he suddenly approached the microphone, and used clumsy Chinese and in a mocking tone, “When I entered, I saw... a few familiar Chinese players. You guys should wait and see...during the Hero’s Wings competition, we’ll definitely beat you guys into a pulp. Look properly...once the country war starts, your Tian Ling City will definitely be crushed by the iron hoofs of our Iron Skull City! This is your fate!”
Once this sentence rang out, the Chinese players were immediately furious. Jian Feng Han suddenly stood up, and roared, “Kyle, what shit did you m*therf*cker just spew! What do you even count for? You actually dare to talk nonsense here?!”
Ye Lai also stood up and shouted,“So do the American players only have this kind of character? Were your manners eaten by the dogs?”
Wan Er and Dong Cheng were also furious. I calmly placed my hands on top of the hands of these two little misses on the table, and said, “Don’t get angry. Being angry will just let them get what they want. Just wait and see. This Kyle better pray he doesn’t meet us during the Hero’s Wings competition, or else I’ll definitely repay him with ten times the humiliation!”
Wan Er nodded her head, “Yup!”
The crowd was extremely tense. Even the players from the American team felt that the situation wasn’t too good. The beautiful woman with blonde hair immediately put down her game helmet, and ran on to the stage in two or three strides. She took the microphone from Kyle’s hand, and after glaring at him, she used a mixture of broken Chinese and English to apologize, “All of the Chinese people here, I’m sorry. Please forgive Kyle’s ignorance. On behalf of Kyle, I’ll...apologize. I hope that you guys won’t take it to heart. Friendship comes first. I hope that we won’t become enemies because...because of this issue…”
I furrowed my eyebrows: “Who in the world is this woman?”
Ye Lai softly spoke, “She’s the guildmaster of Iron Skull City’s number one guild——
Tang Qi laughed, “Her body doesn’t look bad, and her personality doesn’t look bad either…”
I couldn’t help but laugh, “That kind of opponent is the scariest!”
Ye Lai was deep in thought, “Yup, the poisonous sting of a rose is often the most painful…”
Li Mu grinned: “With your appearance, I would’ve thought that you’d never tasted the flavour of a rose. Haha, I wouldn’t have thought that Fatty Ye also had this kind of lament…”
Ye Lai glared at Li Mu, said, “With the appearance of your distinguished self, I think that you have no qualifications to laugh at me…”
“F*ck your m*th*r!”
“F*k off…”
……
Not long after, the situation calmed down. Fei Er continued her announcements. After that, members from the Hero’s Wings organisation came out to give short speeches and talk about this miraculous competition.
This went on until it was almost 4 o’clock. Finally, Fei Er announced a piece of information that made everyone extremely excited: “After the news conference of this time’s Hero’s Wings, we will open the Seven Great Main Cities after 15 hours!”
“Fxxk, the seven great main cities are going to open?” Li Mu was startled.
Ye Lai squinted his eyes and smiled: “The Chinese area is going to be interesting…”
Mu Xuan replied: “The seven great main cities are about to open, which means that the resources of our Tian Ling City is going to be divided by the various big guilds. Sigh, everyone’s going to be fighting over it, it’s going to be so violent…”
Yan Zhao Warrior laughed: “No way, we are people with good morals.”
“Ah?”
Mu Xuan was startled as she looked at the Yan Zhao Warrior who was beside her, “Middle aged man, when were you sitting here?”
Yan Zhao Warrior was also startled, “Do I really have no presence?”
A 20+ year old little miss that was sitting beside Yan Zhao Warrior laughed: “Guild leader, you’re losing a bit of face…”
Li Mu slightly smiled, “Beautiful miss, are you the Six Ya that was in the legends? The newly collected vice guildmaster that Yan Zhao Warrior got? You’re very pretty…”
Six Ya blinked her eyes, “Oh? What’s newly collected? Do I have that kind of taste? I still prefer Q-Sword, Li Xiao Yao, General Wang Jian, these kinds of handsome guys...
