The outskirts of Holy Spirit City.
"Master, whose base is this?"
Ye Lina followed Zhao Mingwei to a place far away from the outskirts of Holy Spirit City. There was a small stronghold there, which was more like a small camp than a stronghold. There were no players near the stronghold tree.
"a friend."
Zhao Mingwei half-knelt in front of the tree and placed a bunch of unknown flowers next to the roots of the tree.
"friend?"
Ye Lina followed along all the way and thought she was on an outing with her master, so she was very cautious all the way, but now Zhao Mingwei looked a little sad, so Ye Lina also restrained her emotions a lot.
"Master, is he...gone?" Ye Lina asked Zhao Mingwei in a low voice.
"As long as there are still people who remember him, then I can answer your question... No."
Zhao Mingwei said something that Ye Lina didn't understand. At this time, Ye Lina turned around with some vigilance and saw President Yin standing not far away with a bouquet of flowers.
"I originally wanted you two to leave before coming back, but Contestant Zhao, do you also know his ID in the Holy Spirit?" Mr. Yin asked.
"They are just friends I met in the Holy Spirit." Zhao Mingwei stood up and looked at President Yin who also walked to the tree of the stronghold and put down the flowers in his hand and said.
"Then I heard it from others. Although the Holy Spirit officials did not reveal Gabby's ID in the game, some people still know it."
Mr. Yin looked at the deserted stronghold around him, but he felt very sad to see a lot of players on the world channel mourning the legendary game producer.
It was not surprising that Zhao Mingwei knew the game producer Yin Zong. After all, Zhao Mingwei might be one of the best Dissidia players in history.
"What is Leaping Nuclear's plan for this Holy Spirit League? If you can become a shareholder of Dispute, can you ask the planner to sell less of those money-sucking gift packages in the future?"
Zhao Mingwei chose to change the topic. Although he had devoted a lot of time to the Holy Spirit recently, he would still visit the world of conflict occasionally.
But Zhao Mingwei disliked the game Dissidia more and more because of the conflict between the game's commercialization and gameplay. As a result, when the game values of Dissidia began to exceed the players' practice and skills of a profession, more and more professions became homogenized in pursuit of damage...
Zhao Mingwei realized that the game of Dispute might... no longer be suitable for him.
"Contestant Zhao, you have given me a goal that is somewhat difficult to achieve, but I will try my best. After all... the temptation is too great." Mr. Yin said.
In the Freya Cup of the Holy Spirit League, whoever wins the team championship will receive 20% of the shares of the parent company of Dissension!
Twenty percent! This was enough to make Yin Zong the largest shareholder of Dissension. Money was secondary. The key was that Yin Zong could directly interfere with the internal decision-making of the Dissension League and reorganize the Dissension League, which had already begun to be dragged into the quagmire of transitional commercialization.
But these are not what Mr. Yin cares about most. What he really cares about is some of the recent developments of the Eternal Sanctuary that Rosh revealed to him by Leaping Nucleus while he was helping Rosh with training.
That is, the Eternal Sanctuary has regarded the Holy Spirits as enemies that must be eliminated, but this is not the worst information that Mr. Yin can collect. There is another worse information...
"Where is Contestant Zhao? Are you planning to participate in this competition?" Mr. Yin directly asked about another purpose of his coming here.
"I don't have any plans for now. The content of the qualifying round is a five-player dungeon with the difficulty of the Supervisor, but compared to the five-player dungeon, I still want to challenge the difficulty of the Ruler."
Zhao Mingwei hasn't been going to Kuroshio Island to fight with the Annihilation Legion recently, because there is no trace of the Annihilation Legion on Kuroshio Island. The Ruler Challenge on the Path of Ascension made Zhao Mingwei find it again... the feeling of being addicted to fighting the BOSS because it is too difficult.
Anyway, to sum it up, Zhao Mingwei simply felt that the five-man dungeon of supervisor difficulty was too easy and not fun at all, so he had no intention of participating in the Holy Spirit League for the time being.
“This is really in line with Zhao’s style of thinking…” President Yin had actually heard of Zhao Mingwei, the e-sports saint monk. Zhao Mingwei was not indifferent to fame and fortune. When meeting Zhao Mingwei in real life, President Yin had a feeling… that he seemed to be detached from the real world.
To put it more bluntly... when Zhao Mingwei went offline to eat, he was still thinking about how to defeat the BOSS of this dungeon. He would never go offline to sleep unless he was sleepy. All kinds of life in reality were just to prepare him for the virtual world.
Thirty years earlier, this kind of person would have been sent to an Internet addiction treatment center for electrotherapy! But in this era, Zhao Mingwei is a great hero, worshipped as a god by countless gamers.
"I'll just say it straight. Yesterday, the players in our guild were playing a five-player leveling mission on the Path of Ascension, and then they encountered the Legion of Annihilation," said Mr. Yin.
"There are indeed some copies of the Annihilation Legion as guardians in the Path of Ascension." Zhao Mingwei frowned slightly, but President Yin sent a video file to Zhao Mingwei.
"What they met were definitely not the defenders, but another group of challengers!" said Mr. Yin.
Zhao Mingwei clicked on the video file that Mr. Yin shared with him. The video showed that the five players of Leaping Nuclear were challenging a dragon-like enemy together, but were killed by five members of the Annihilation Legion who appeared out of nowhere.
The video recording was very clear, and the features of the Annihilation Legion's armor and fighting style were also very distinctive. Zhao Mingwei recognized it at a glance.
"The Annihilation Legion is also challenging the Path of Ascension, and can also invade the copies of other challengers." President Yin stated the conclusion directly.
"... Boss Yin, do you want me to join your team?"
Zhao Mingwei no longer felt bored when the Annihilation Legion was mentioned. He didn't care what the Annihilation Legion wanted to do by challenging the Path of Ascension. It was definitely not a good thing, so he just had to fight and it was over!
If the guys from the Annihilation Legion can invade the copy that the Holy Spirit challenges, then the Holy Spirit must have a way to invade the copy that they challenge.
We'll just hurt each other anyway.
"I actually really want you, Zhao, to join us, but...how should I put it." At this moment, Mr. Yin's expression suddenly became very conflicted. He hesitated for a while and finally spoke, "But your old teammates may need you more."
"Teammate of Jun Lin Tian Xia?" Zhao Mingwei suddenly realized something, because Qi Junzi and Lin Xi had not been online all day today, which was very abnormal.
"Well, the rewards of the Holy Spirit League are too tempting this time. My dad is asking me if I can win the championship. If I can't win the championship, how much money will it take to win it... how much money will it take to win it, ah." Mr. Yin sighed slightly and said.
"In short, those capital forces that don't play games may have paid attention to this league. So... Player Zhao, you should understand. With your popularity in Holy Spirit, there will definitely be a lot of people offering high prices for you to join their team to compete. Other well-known players in Holy Spirit may encounter this kind of thing. The boss of Junlin Tianxia will definitely not be indifferent... So Player Zhao, you must understand, right?"
"Qi Junzi will definitely not agree." Zhao Mingwei knew his old teammate's character better than anyone else.
The King of the World in the Holy Spirit and the King of the World Club in reality are two completely separate entities.
The Jun Lin Tian Xia in Holy Spirit was built by Qi Jun Zi and his fans. It did not receive any official assistance from the club. It was completely built by the fans with love and Qi Jun Zi.
The same applies to Qi Junzi's game account in Sheng Ling. Originally, the Jun Lin Tian Xia Club was very resistant to the game Sheng Ling.
Even now it is still the same.
But the rewards of the Holy Spirit League are enough to make everyone in the world crazy! The Junlintianxia Club is no exception, so now the Junlintianxia Club probably wants to take advantage of the achievements that Qi Junzi and others have established in the Holy Spirit.
But how could Qi Junzi be willing? But the problem is that Qi Junzi is now a contestant of Junlin Tianxia. If he falls out with Junlin Tianxia's top management...
"Boss Yin, are you interested in recruiting some strong players?" Zhao Mingwei asked directly.
"Yes, but I don't have the money. Your Feng Yi is too expensive. I've been struggling to make ends meet recently after buying Feng Yi." Mr. Yin could only shrug helplessly at this time, but he still said afterwards, "But if it's a commercial lawsuit, I can still help you fight it. You are the only one who can make them make the decision."
The only person who lets them make the decision is you.
Of course Zhao Mingwei knew what the decision was!
"Master?" Ye Lina had been standing nearby, watching carefully and not daring to speak.
"Mr. Yin, please take Ye Lina back to the base. I have something to do first." Zhao Mingwei said to Mr. Yin after rubbing Ye Lina's forehead with his hand.
