”Stingy?”

Wang Yu had never heard of a hidden meaning behind an invitation card.

Looking at Wang Yu's expression, Mu Zixian laughed helplessly before explaining, ”The truly respectable professional squads usually receive to and fro air tickets or free lodging while we only receive an admission ticket.”

”F*ck!”

Hearing Mu Zixian's further explanation, Wang Yu finally understood.

Damn it! While everyone was going to be a participant in the tournament, wasn't the difference a little too huge?

Inequality was the root of many problems.

The vast difference in treatment between squads was naturally going to make some people unsatisfied with this unadorned discrimination.

While it was true that the professional tournament slogan was that everyone could join, but everyone knew that any spectators heading to watch the tournament live or at home were there to watch the professional experts. Besides their own friends, who would bother about the amateur participants?

Evidently, this slogan was merely like hanging a sheep's head while selling dog meat. At the end of the day, everyone was fully aware of the positions of these amateur contestants.

Even if these amateur players got on stage, they were at most be a target for the professional experts to bully. It was merely to let the professional experts put on a good show as an appetiser for the spectators.

An admission ticket in return for a specialised sparring partner.

Even while everyone knew of this intention, it was still the dreams of many ordinary players to go up against professional experts. If they somehow managed to pull off a victory, wouldn't that make them famous overnight?

People had always been utilitarian-minded. In conclusion, one was willing to beat someone up while one was willing to be beaten up. This was also the reason why the fellas from the Quan Zhen Sect didn't really like the concept of participating in professional tournaments.

Only an overpowered gaming newbie like Wang Yu would actually take the invitation letter so seriously. In fact, he couldn't stop thinking about clinching the championship. If it was any other players, everyone knew what their position was in the tournament.

This was also why Mu Zixian wasn't particularly impressed or surprised by the invitation letter on Wang Yu's hand.

Amateur contestants… Letting them on stage was already a charitable act. There was no need to overthink it.

Fortunately, Wang Yu remained pretty optimistic. Even though he was unsatisfied with the way the officials treated the amateurs, the thought of being able to compete with these experts got him excited.

Whether it was amateurs or professional players, it was only reasonable for the weaker ones to be treated coldly by the stronger ones.

Of course, Wang Yu was not the only depressed one. On the very next day when everyone went online, everyone from the Quan Zhen Sect didn't look too pleased. They had clearly received the invitation letter yesterday too.

This group of sc*mbags had always wanted to take advantage of people so when people treated them this way, they were naturally not feeling too good about it.

This was especially true for Ming Du who slammed the table and cursed, ”F*ck this! The Soaring Dragon Game Studios is so successful and earning so much money yet they are this stingy? How dare they only send me an invitation letter.”

Vainglory also added, ”Exactly! I have to take leave just to take part in this tournament yet they are not providing us with free lodging or food? Stingy as hell!”

Frost Blade suddenly retrieved an abacus out of nowhere and started calculating the total bill, ”Given the standard of living at Linhai City, it would cost a bomb even if only the twelve of us are heading there.”

”Damn it! I only have fifty dollars for my monthly pocket money so I need your help this time. I will return the excess once I've earned enough in the future.” Spring Halo clasped his fists towards everyone.

”Ai…”

Everyone sighed with lowered heads but nobody knew whether it was for the depressing life that Brother Spring had or for the fact that they needed to pay for their own expenses.

Only Fearless seemed calm as if he was contemplating something.
