G city.
The well-deserved center of the world, the seat of the United World Government, in G City, there are countless forces hidden in it, such as the Sword Master Association that is supreme in swordsmanship, the Martial Arts Association that moves the universe, and Beaufoy's Mechanical Legion, etc.
Among the many powerful forces, a special group of ancient palaces is located in G City. There is a special person living in this huge group of palaces.
The great prophet—Xi Daba Wa!
Xibabawa is a world-renowned prophet. She has provided disaster predictions to the Heroes Association many times, and the predictions are 100% accurate and have never been wrong. Therefore, the association attaches great importance to her safety and has sent heavy troops to protect her. For her safety, she was afraid that she would be assassinated by someone else.
Xi Daba Wa's daily work is simple and boring, just one thing... prophecy, making predictions based on a large amount of display data.
On this day, she was sitting at a ten-meter-long table as usual, with an exquisite crystal ball placed in front of her, which was her prophecy tool.
Prophecy is a random thing, and even she cannot predict specified things. What the crystal ball shows depends on God's will. According to her, prophecy means that she can see what God wants her to know.
"Hibaru bang bang bang bang..."
Xi Daba Wa is already old, very old, with wrinkles on her face like tree bark, silver hair, and wearing weird special clothes. Her hands like dead branches are trembling on the crystal ball, and her mouth is Saying strange words.
As she murmured like a mantra, the crystal clear crystal ball shimmered and shimmered, and pictures appeared on the crystal ball. However, many pictures passed by in a flash. Can't see clearly.
After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the crystal ball. A picture was also fixed in the crystal ball. In the picture, many people in suits were attending a funeral, and the protagonist at the funeral was impressive. It's... herself.
"ah!?"
She was shocked. She didn't expect that her death date was predicted. She fell down on the chair in despair, muttering to herself, "My death date has come, my death date has come..."
"Lord Xibabawa, what did you see?"
Standing next to her was a staff member sent from the association. His task was to obtain the prophecy from Xi Dabawa and then inform the association for disaster prevention.
"die."
Xi Daba Wa's voice was very deep.
"Death? Is it another big disaster?"
The staff was shocked.
"I saw my death."
…
When Xi Daba Wa predicted his death date, King was wandering around H City. After the big disaster in J City, he had a relatively leisurely past two days. Apart from taking the time to go to J City to receive an honorary citizen medal, he had nothing to do. Done.
According to the arrangement of the association, he was invited to attend the upcoming e-sports competition in H City, and he appeared as a mysterious guest.
H City is a city with a strong gaming atmosphere. Most of the game companies in the world are concentrated in H City. Therefore, most excellent games also come from H City.
Walking on the streets of H City, you can see posters of various game characters everywhere, and there are countless game arcades. It is known as the "Game City" and is a paradise for all game lovers.
As a game master, King used to come to H City often, firstly to participate in competitions, and secondly to hunt for gold, searching for his favorite game cartridges from major stores.
This is the first time he has appeared as a guest in a competition.
According to the association, the game designated for this e-sports is "Justice League". The characters in this game are based on the major heroes of the Hero Association. It is a two-player battle game, similar to his previous life's "The King of Fighters". 》.
Of course, for the sake of fairness, the character attributes and skills in "Justice League" have been adjusted, almost reaching an even level.
He could understand this. After all, if it were completely based on reality, then Tornado would definitely crush most heroes, and everyone would rush to choose powerful heroes, and the game would be unplayable.
However, even if the game company has adjusted the attributes of the game characters in order to make the game fairer, many players still choose those S-level heroes and A-level heroes. There is no way, with the same attributes, everyone will naturally Choose a popular hero.
Of course, there is an exception for one type of people, and that is the real game masters. They choose people based entirely on character characteristics, rather than actual reputation.
The characters in the game all have their own characteristics, such as the Metal Knight, whose skills are either summoning robots as thugs, or sitting in the mecha to do it himself, and the Drive Knight, who has various forms, and the special box in his hand. Can transform into a variety of weapons.
Of course, "Justice League" just came out not long ago, and there were only a dozen characters in it. Their company, like King's "League of Legends" in his previous life, would only release a new hero every once in a while. If players wanted to play new heroes, they could just Being able to repurchase new versions of cassettes is a way for them to make money.
"Hey, Jace, I'm here."
King quickly arrived at the venue of the competition, which was a simply renovated gymnasium. It was already crowded with people, most of whom were avid game enthusiasts who came to worship the game gods.
"King? Just wait a moment, I'll go down to pick you up right away."
"Um."
After King hung up the phone, he lowered his peaked cap, put his hands in his pockets, and scanned the crowd. In the crowd, there were many cosplayers. They cosplayed various game characters, including heroes, weirdos, etc., so This resulted in the phenomenon of demons dancing wildly at a glance at the competition site.
Jess soon appeared, and King followed him into the guest room of the competition. In the room, in addition to the "Justice League" development company, there were also several seniors in the gaming industry.
As soon as King entered the room, he immediately received warm greetings from everyone. He responded politely and waited for the competition to begin.
Waiting is a very boring thing. King chatted with them all the time. Looking at the posters of game characters all around him, he was eager to participate.
As a game addict, he felt particularly uncomfortable when he encountered such a competition and had to compete with various game masters.
He thought about it and finally put forward his idea, "Everyone, I am very honored to be invited to be a guest in this competition. In fact, I am also a game enthusiast."
"Yeah? King, do you also play games?"
Everyone was stunned. In their inherent impression, King should be the kind of cultivator who works hard every day and never relaxes to protect the world.
King… also plays games
"Um."
When King saw their stunned expressions, the corners of his mouth twitched and he coughed. It's really hard to explain. Could it be that I was telling them that I was actually an otaku who loved playing games? No, no, according to his experience, when he encounters something that cannot be explained, he just keeps silent and someone will explain it to him later.
really…
"I understand. King playing games is actually a kind of training. The duel between game characters can stimulate King's understanding of moves. The duel between characters can also train his reflexes. King, am I right?"
After everyone was stunned for a while, they immediately found a reasonable explanation for King.
"Ah!"
King smiled helplessly, this is the advantage of being famous. If you are a strong person, your farts will be treated as if you are justified. If you are weak, your farts will be treated as if you are justified!
After Jace pondered for a while, something moved in his mind, and he suggested with a smile: "I think we can add a link after the competition. The champion of the competition will face off against the king. I believe it will definitely attract everyone's attention."
"I agree. Minister Jess's proposal is great. It not only increases the fun of the competition, but also increases the popularity of the competition."
When the development company of "Justice League" heard this, their eyes immediately lit up and they raised their hands in agreement. They would not object to anything that could increase the exposure of "Justice League". After all, with every increase in exposure, they can earn more. If you have too much money, as a businessman, you will never have trouble with money.
"King, what do you think?"
"I?"
King smiled and said, "I have no objection." It is definitely a pleasure to compete against the masters.
"Then it's settled."
Jess laughed and decided that their association would use this competition to promote itself, and the "Justice League" development company also wanted to attract public attention to its game, and the two hit it off.
While they were chatting happily, the e-sports competition outside had already started, and the cheers were getting louder and louder.
According to the rules of the competition, the contestants compete against each other, the winner advances, and is eliminated round by round to determine the champion.
Time passed little by little, and the contestants were eliminated one by one. The keen-eyed audience could see through everyone's competitive level. Among all the contestants, the most eye-catching one was a man wearing a black robe that covered his whole body.
"I didn't expect the black robe to come too."
"Yes, once the black robe comes out, who can compete with him?"
"This guy in Black Robe's gaming talent is too high, and his competitive level is simply a level higher than everyone else's."
Everyone pointed at Hei Pao, their words full of admiration. Obviously Hei Pao has a high status among many game lovers.
"Who is this black robe?"
King sat in the VIP room and watched the live game on the big screen. He also discovered the extraordinary power of Hei Pao. In all the games played by Hei Pao, he defeated the opponent cleanly. No one could survive a round in his hands. It was simply too strong. Pointing to the ground.
"Black robe, hey, this is a gaming genius who has emerged in the past two years. He has traveled around in major gaming competitions, defeated countless gaming masters, and won countless championships. Rumor has it that as long as he participates in the competition, the champion There is no suspense anymore. Since he has always been hidden under the black robe, no one has seen his appearance, so everyone calls him the black robe."
"So strong?"
King is a little embarrassed. As a game enthusiast, he has never heard of this game master.
"The victory has been decided."
"A black robe is a black robe."
"Black Robe should be the number one god in the gaming industry right now!"
The audience was amazed as they watched the black robe defeat each opponent like chopping melons and vegetables.
Sure enough, the black robe lived up to everyone's expectations. After rounds of competition, he finally defeated all his opponents and ascended to the throne.
"It's our turn now."
Jace and the others looked at each other and smiled.
King did not follow them away, but was placed in a room equipped with gaming equipment.
This was a bad idea from Jess and the others. In order to give the audience a surprise, they would not reveal his identity for the time being and compete with the black robe as a mysterious guest.
King had no objection to this, but felt a little itchy.
"Congratulations on winning first place."
Jess and several senior players in the gaming industry came forward to shake hands with the black robe.
Unexpectedly, the black robe was completely indifferent. He just nodded coldly and said concisely: "Thank you." He looked like an ice cube that rejected people thousands of miles away.
"this… "
Jess retracted his raised hand in embarrassment and coughed dryly: "Hey, Black Robe, after discussion, our program team added a championship link after the competition. We specially arranged for a mysterious guest to compete with you in a game. "
"Not interested in."
Heipao replied coldly, rejecting such a performance.
"Well… "
Jace smiled helplessly, a master is a master, so arrogant that no one can approach him.
After he considered some words, he said slowly: "Heipao, don't refuse in such a hurry. You have to know that the person you are fighting against is also a master, and as far as I know, no one has ever been able to defeat him. .”
Well, in terms of fighting, he has indeed never seen anyone defeat the king. He was not wrong, nor was he lying.
"What? Besides Black Robe, are there other powerful gamers in the world?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard of it."
"Hey, do you think the opponent has never participated in a competition, so he has never been defeated?"
"Haha, your idea is very bold!"
The audience was talking a lot, and they were full of interest in the mysterious master who suddenly appeared.
"Huh? Are you sure?"
The black robe was finally aroused and said coldly: "I accept the challenge. He will face his first failure in his life."
"Ha, the winner is still undecided, that's not certain." Jace said meaningfully.
The black robe was quickly welcomed by the staff into another room that was also equipped with gaming equipment.
At the same time, the game battle situation between king and black robe will be connected to the big screen at the scene.
"Dear viewers, next, our program team will bring you a unique competition. Please keep your eyes on the big screen and wait and see!"
The host enlivened the atmosphere and aroused everyone's interest, and the audience also cheered and cheered for this feast.
In the room, King briefly checked the equipment and found that there were no problems before waiting for the game to start.
On the other side, the black robe silently looked at the game interface on the screen. The eyes hidden in the black robe were very determined. His sleeves swung and he stretched out a game controller from his sleeves to replace the original game controller.
"Victory will only belong to me, and I am the king of the gaming world!"
