Chapter 183: Show Starts (2/2)
Alex looked back to the stage and nobody was there yet. There were still about 5 minutes for the show to start, so he decided to make some small talk.
”Are you here with someone?” he asked.
”Ah, yes. I— I'm here with my roommate. She is quite good at the game and told me that she landed an interview and dragged me here. I wonder when it will start,” she started to drift off with her thoughts and then remembered that she was still talking.
”Oh, what about you?” she asked.
”I'm here with my cousin. She didn't tell me what was going on and just dragged me here,” he said with a chuckle.
”I'm Alex by the way,” he said as brought forth his hand for a shake.
The girl hesitated for a bit, but reciprocated at the end with a handshake and said, ”I'm Emily. Nice to need you, Alex.”
”Nice to meet you, Emily,” Alex said with a smile.
Then, a bunch of noise started coming from the stage as the 13 people in the show starting walking up the stage to sit on one of the 13 seats on the stage. There was another seat a bit to the right reserved for the host.
”Ah, she said interview, but it seems like it's more of a talk show,” Alex said.
”M—My friend said it was an interview as well. Seems like there were too many people for it to be an interview and they will have to change the format,” Emily suppressed her anxiety to speak.
Once all the 13 people were seated in their seats, the host walked onto the stage and sat on his seat.
Within a minute, the light in the audience dimmed and the show started.
”Good evening everyone. This is your host, Drake Hamil from Channel 8. Tonight, we have these 13 people in front of us. Now, while they may look like some ordinary high school students … or maybe teachers for one person's case, they are actually something way better.”
”Ladies and Gentlemen, Let me introduce you to the 13 Best of the best players in Eternal Cultivation right now,” the host spoke.
Countless applause rang up around the studio devouring any other sound. After the crowd was finally silent, the 13 people went around introducing themselves.
Hannah introduced herself 3rd. When a lady named Sarah introduced herself, Emily let Alex know that she was her friend there. The old gentleman introduced himself as Sean White. He was at least 20 years older than the host, so the host didn't try to make any more funny remarks about the man.
Soon, after the round of introductions were done, the host spoke, ”Let's start tonight's show where we talk with the current top players of Eternal Cultivation. Go in-depth with some of the mysteries surrounding the game and maybe have some questions that a game developer over at Deva Corp can answer to us, all in today's show.
