Translator: 549690339
Li Yao’s performance today was absolutely dazzling. His flamboyant gaming skills took the hunter role to its limits, and his terrifying battling strength left everyone watching feeling their blood boil with every match.
The battle at the Duke’s mansion showcased Li Yao’s personal strategies and courage as he treated players who came to kill him like they were free points.
His single-use cannons kept the numerous elite players spinning, the excitement was off the charts.
In the ring, his high score deterred the stronger players from challenging him. Later on, he consecutively took down many elites, securing his position as the top priest. In the subsequent twenty minutes, no one dared to challenge him. Considering the huge revenge value he had accumulated, there were countless people wanted to take him down, but no one dared to confront him. Truly a display of powerful dominance.
At this moment, the only way to express their excitement was to shout his name.
Fei Lun was a soft-spoken young man, and Tie Niu was a burly man from the north.
Listening to the deafening cheers from the crowd, Tie Niu stepped closer to Li Yao, clapped a hand over his shoulder and said, “Damn it, now I want a real-life duel with you. What to do? You’re strong in the game, but in reality, I could knock you down with just one hand.”
“Good, I’ll add you to my contacts, we’ll set up a time. I just got a new Mecha, it would be perfect to practice with a pro like you,” Li Yao responded with a smile.
“Ahem ahem.” Tie Niu coughed a few times and said, “Well, we’re all civilized people, it would be better to sit down and have a drink together instead of fighting and ruining our friendship. Our bodies aren’t what they used to be.”
“Alright,” Li Yao agreed.
Tie Niu’s lips twitched, he released Li Yao. Not going to lie, he initially planned on beating him up in real life to let off some steam, but then he remembered Li Yao’s new Mecha.
There was now only one operative new model mecha, so what’s the point of fighting?
Fei Lun nodded at Li Yao cordially, and Li Yao returned the gesture, thus concluding their brief meeting in reality.
The crowd cheered for quite some time before finally calming down at the host’s words.
“Prairie Fire, your performance today was too cool, I have become your fan,” host Zhao Li said with a bright smile.
“Thank you.”
“Is there anything you’d like to say to everyone now?” Zhao Li asked.
Li Yao took a deep breath, finally, it was time: “There’s a lot I want to say, but standing here, I’m not sure where to start. So I’ll just keep it simple and quick. Tomorrow, I’m going to start my own guild. I welcome anyone who wishes to better develop themselves in the game to join.”
Li Yao’s announcement hit the crowd like a bombshell, sparking a wave of discussion. Many players were considering joining, while the faces of players in established guilds were quite unpleasant.
Many guilds and clubs had already planned to recruit Li Yao, offering highly attractive terms to have him join their ranks. Now that Li Yao was going to start his own guild, their plans went up in smoke.
Li Yao’s formidable power was fully demonstrated in this individual competition. The thought of such a formidable competitor breaking into the gaming circle and providing a real challenge to them, left them feeling uneasy.
But even a simpleton knew that with Prairie Fire’s personality, he would naturally want to hit the game arena. Once the guild stabilizes, his next step would naturally be to establish a team.
Li Yao, of course, didn’t care about their complex expressions, and he continued speaking:
“Well, let me put it this way: I don’t lack Gold Coins or good equipment, what I need now is manpower. As for the advantages of my guild over those of the larger guilds, it would have to be myself. Allow me to boast a bit: I have brushed upon the techniques of the Hunter and other professions, and I believe I can help my guild members grow together. As to whether I’m bluffing, I invite you to search online for videos and records of Prairie Fire and Spark. I will not brag about myself anymore.”
The audience and countless viewers watching the livestream, were already considering searching for Li Yao’s videos after the festival ended.
“That’s all I wanted to say. I welcome those with ambition to join the guild.” With a slight bow, Li Yao stepped down and returned to the player zone.
“You’ve attracted quite a bit of hostility with your speech, you’ve got all those people behind you.” Qin Fengyi commented with a sigh.
Li Yao glanced around and saw that indeed everyone’s faces were less than friendly. Gu Cheng even had a smile on his face, to which Li Yao responded with one as well.
“Quite intense, is it really necessary.” Li Yao said bluntly.
“Taking someone’s job is equivalent to killing their father and mother, you tell me if it’s worth it.” Li Jie said, “If you wanted to create a guild, you should have just done it quietly. Why did you have to be so high-profile about it?”
“Jobs, what have these people turned gaming into. They control the clubs and teams and are filled with jealously towards any talent, forgetting their humble beginnings. The esports community needs fresh blood to thrive. Do they really think that by naming themselves the ‘Top Ten’ or ‘Top Eight’, the audience will play along? Ridiculous,” Li Yao sneered.
“You were too conspicuous today. Whatever you do in the future will be harder, and the resistance will probably be quite strong. They have a lot of influence,” Li Jie warned.
Li Yao knew that Li Jie was genuinely concerned about him and said seriously, “Then I will teach them a good lesson and let them know that there are some people they simply cannot stop.”
Li Jie shook her head, not saying more. Cross a river and you will know its depth. She had already said enough for today.
“Tonight is the pioneer competition, why don’t we participate?” Daimeng Tongtong suddenly suggested as everyone was having dinner together.
“Sure, I’ve also found a few people, should be enough to form a team,” Li Yao said thoughtfully.
“It’s a good idea, but I’m afraid it won’t be that easy,” Li Jie said.
“I agree; I don’t think we’ll be able to participate in this competition,” Qin Fengyi added.
Li Yao frowned slightly. He didn’t expect the situation to be this severe. He said, “Let’s give it a try.”
However, it turned out just as Li Jie and Qin Fengyi had guessed. An official from the carnival announced that the registration for the pioneer competition had ended and they were not accepting any more registrations.
“You’re lying, the rules clearly state that registration ends 10 minutes before the start of the game and there’s still half an hour to go,” Daimeng Tongtong retorted angrily.
“I’m really sorry, we can’t help it. The competition venue is already full and it’s very difficult to make any arrangements now, so we can only apologize.” The official responded with an apologetic face.
Seeing his oily and detestable face, everyone wanted to give him a good trashing…
