Chapter 73: God DogLeading

In a disaster-ridden era, the virtual competition industry that seemed to link itself with entertainment was not thought highly of by people. This was a reason why there were few customers that patronized the battle arena cafe.

However, every weekend, the number of people who came to the battle arena cafe would increase greatly. The main reason was a result of the weekly matches organized by the Battle Arena Corporation over the weekend. Another essential reason was a result of the strategy employed by the battle arena cafe—the weekly match was aired live for free.

Although Steel City was [Gaia]’s base, [Gaia] was only a Hero organization. The people in a Hero organization were valued by their quality not quantity, hence, the official members were a tiny fraction of the residents. Most of the residents were original residents before the base was built, as well as family members the official members brought with them. These original residents were similar to the city’s residents. They did not have much resistance against a live broadcast of a competition that was almost at the quality of a movie. Furthermore, the video quality in the battle arena cafe’s viewing hall was extremely high and most importantly, it was free!

Hence, although Yang Weiwei’s description of “undivided attention of thousands of people” was somewhat exaggerated, the number of people who came to the viewing hall to watch the weekly match live would not just be a handful of people. It would number at least a hundred.

And today was a special day. As the news of Miss Xiao Xiao personally participating in this week’s competition was deliberately publicized by the battle arena cafe, the battle arena cafe’s viewing hall was soon filled with people.

Whenever Xiao Xiao was mentioned, people would immediately think of four key information—Battle Arena Corporation’s little princess, Pehua University’s top student, a Psyker richly endowed by nature, a great beauty that could topple cities. And once these four key information were put together, it naturally created the effects of fans that were no less inferior than celebrities and idols.

Those people who came to the battle arena cafe could not only watch the live broadcast of the competition that was as good as a movie, but they could also catch a glimpse of Princess Xiao Xiao’s glory. And most critical of all, it was all fricking free! Hence, even citizens that were disgusted by virtual competition were also attracted.

Yang Yang was one of those who came to watch the competition. He was different from others, because he was attracted here by Shi Xiaobai. Yang Weiwei had specially sent him a text message, bragging about how she had accomplished the “feat” of recommending Tu Dahei as a contestant. Yang Yang expressed his disgust at Yang Weiwei for letting a third level Psionic Mortal Realm rookie participate in a free-for-all match filled with seventh level Psionic Mortal Realm warriors. However, he could not help but give her a thumbs up, praising her with a “well done”.

He was eager to understand Shi Xiaobai’s true strength. This was the only way he could know the difference between them. Yang Weiwei’s act was no doubt something he found agreeable deep within his heart.

However, the present Yang Yang was honestly feeling terrible. This was because he met the one person he least wanted to see in the viewing hall. Even worse, this person’s seat was just next to his.

Yang Yang’s eyes struggled for a moment as he gently sat beside that person, hoping that the person would not realize his arrival.

However, things never go the way we think they will. The moment he sat down, that person turned his head over and was surprised. He then made a cold taunt, “Hey, isn’t this that mortal with pretty alright Mind Expanse? Your name is Yang-something?”

Yang Yang’s mouth twitched slightly. The blond youth sitting beside him named Kevin was as infuriating as ever. Back at the Rookie Evaluation Test, he had been figuratively smacked in the face by Shi Xiaobai till his face swelled, but yet he was still unrepentantly trying to act the fatty.

In the past, Yang Yang would always keep a distance from a C Class Psyker like Kevin since he knew the difference between an ordinary person and a genius. He did not dare cross the line. However, after meeting Shi Xiaobai, he felt that the biological creatures known as geniuses were not that much superior.

Look at Shi Xiaobai, he is such an impressive genius, but isn’t he quite cute from his foolishness?

“Hey, it’s you. Blondy Narcissist.”

Yang Yang pretended to just discover Kevin’s presence and gave an unsparing response. He no longer felt awe towards Kevin at all.

Kevin’s face immediately turned liver-colored. This shameful salutation reminded him of Shi Xiaobai’s wretched face. The fateful encounter of the Rookie Evaluation test was still fresh on his mind, so he coldly snorted, “Hmph, abject mortal.”

Yang Yang curled his lips. He was not interested in engaging in a meaningless war of words with Kevin. He ignored Kevin and turned to look at the huge screen in the viewing hall.

At this moment, the screen was playing explanatory clips. In a bid to replicate the viewing experience of the Heroes league, the Battle Arena Corporation invited two rather famous commentators every week. And the invited commentators today were a top-ranked father-daughter commentator duo—Sweets and Biscuit.

Although Biscuit was slightly plump from age, his professional knowledge was good. He was extremely eloquent and was currently serving as the national professional league’s commentator. As for his daughter, Sweets, who looked extremely sweet, her commentating could be said to be better than her father’s. At a young age, she was already very reputable in the commentator world.

The Battle Arena Corporation’s invitation of these two people as commentators indicated how much importance they placed in this week’s competition. After all, Princess Xiao Xiao was personally participating in it, so even if it was virtual competition, it was not to be treated lightly.

At this moment, the two commentators had finished introducing the rules of this week’s weekly competition. After the seven-person free-for-all battle format was announced, it sparked a flurry of discussion amongst the audience in the viewing hall immediately. Compared to a group deathmatch or tag-team fighting, a simple and brutal seven-person free-for-all appeared more exciting.
