Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

The loser will lose everything - even if it is just a small game that is insignificant in the eyes of Cat Senior.

The audience placed high hopes on him, and then he suffered a helpless and shameful failure and was humiliated by his ugly behavior.

They immediately became the focus of public opinion and the target of wanton insults and abuse.

——This is a matter of course.

"No one likes to insult your victors, but... no one likes to humiliate you when you lose."

Senior Cat spoke calmly, expressing some sympathy for the team he had watched along the way.

It is really too accustomed to these things.

You are inexplicably supported, and then because of a failure, you are inexplicably insulted and belittled.

Things like this...are always happening endlessly, as long as the playing field is set up and the contestants take the stage.

And this is exactly Cat Senior’s battlefield.

And because of this - she doesn't want to fail... and has never failed.

She is a brilliant and flawless winner, but she knows the horror of failure better than anyone else.

but now--

"Xiao Man... I'm supporting you uninvited! But if you lose... I will definitely... definitely... definitely spray you to death... I swear."

She decided to become the biggest shadow behind Yu Man.

……

"What's wrong, Eel? Didn't you clear the level perfectly? Why is your expression so stiff?"

"…I feel like there's a curse."

Yu Man touched his back, it was empty, but he felt like he was carrying the fate on his back.

Is it a problem with this dungeon? No...isn't this just an ordinary battle dungeon?

It's strange—that's all.

After leaving the dungeon, they returned to Rumana Seti, where the Mage Tower shone brightly under the waning moon. They knew nothing of the outside world's competition, nor did they have any interest in it. In the silence of their own territory, they simply counted their recent gains.

The ninth-level team dungeon is very difficult.

But they have the cheating Xiaobing, a high-level mythical beast that can even get through on its own.

There is also Yu Man, who actually cheated. The current strength of this person who passed the level is quite terrifying.

There's also a game administrator who can ban cheaters - but she literally spent the entire game behind the scenes, just waving a flag and doing nothing else.

but--

"I'm quite happy. So this is what it feels like to complete a dungeon." Blackbird said seriously.

"Yeah, that's how I felt when Eel took me with him."

Xiaolu was happy to accept the newcomer, provided that she didn't get sick.

Everyone stared at Blackie. Fortunately, she didn't continue speaking in a literary tone that no one could understand.

"Then..." Yu Man cleared his throat, "I'm going to go find Lao Huo to fulfill my promise. After that, you can take Level 70 and Blackbird to master the specialization. Is that okay?"

“…again?”

The deer expressed some dissatisfaction.

"Captain Eel, you just led the brothers to clear a dungeon, and you want to slack off?"

"Huh? Because you've been able to stand on your own for a long time..." Yu Man said with a hint of grievance, "That's why I can go out without worrying about no one to hold the scene..."

Xiaolu couldn't hear any falsehood in these words.

Her expression suddenly relaxed, and she even looked very happy.

This is recognition from the eel.

"No way, I will take good care of everyone."

"Well—after I come back, everyone will start pairing skills and building different combat styles. After that... the five of us will go on a long trip to find something to try our hand at."

Such as hidden copies?

Another example is breaking into a battlefield where thousands of people are fighting over territory and acting as a third party to mediate.

234·Refresh this chapter

It took a lot of effort to change the work and rest schedule. Before this chapter, stealing and cheating was a thing to be replaced.

Now I have changed! My sleep and rest routine has gradually become stable.

Sorry, sorry, no money-sucking.

The following text——

……

With the end of the "KaiTai Cup", the unofficial organizers who have the rights to hold the competition are all satisfied with the results of this trial competition.

The volume of broadcasts, the enthusiasm of sponsors, the scale of the event, and the huge market potential...

These things that are on the surface have naturally made various analytical agencies and media realize that there is tremendous vitality behind them.

therefore--

Money is rolling in - pouring into the upcoming "Spring Season".

……

A few days later, before a certain dawn.

Senior Cat stayed up late again, yawning as he waited for breakfast to arrive.

It was bored and browsed the forum, absorbing all kinds of information.

But unfortunately, right now everyone is working or sleeping, and it is the quietest time in the forum.

There was nothing new, so Senior Mao was doing the job of answering the newcomers' questions, and building up reputation for himself and Yu Man.

However, this is not an easy job.

There will always be players who are half-baked, half-baked, or even less than that, who will inexplicably come to argue and correct me. Their remarks are so stupid that even Cat Senior is confused and asks, "Have you even played the old world?"

What’s even more terrifying is that because the overall level of players still needs to improve, there are even inexplicable people who support those mistakes.

This made Senior Cat quite helpless.

In addition, the entire forum is still filled with the aftertaste of the "Kaifa Cup".

The winning Southeast Asian team ML4K and the "Xiankan" team still bear the heaviest traffic.

ML4K's main player, Gamelan, almost single-handedly led the team out of the ranks of losers.

Because the team's overall strength was insufficient and the win rate in 5V5 was very low, Gamelan could only rely on its own strength to drag the team forward in 1V1 and 2V2, and in the end... it did win the championship.

Although in Senior Cat's opinion, this is just a game that cannot be any smaller, but to the world, it is a performance that has both praise and criticism.

Because - Gamelan humiliated its opponents fairly after all its victories.

Even - humiliating teammates.

Relying on a large amount of verbal abuse and the result of "victory", Gamelan's uncivilized behavior even won the support of many viewers.

They just love to see the tension—as for the competitive spirit and individual qualities? Screw them.

As for the shame of being executed by him, "Xiankan" is still being subjected to overwhelming insults to this day.

In contrast, Gamelan showed considerable arrogance after winning.

On social media and in various interviews, he boasted without reservation about how powerful he was and how humiliating his opponents and teammates were.

Even though the reputation was mixed, Gamelan was indeed selected by interested capital and immediately signed a wonderful contract with it.

"Sky-high contract" - at least that's what the media wrote in the headlines.

But in the eyes of the knowledgeable cat senior, it easily saw through its essence.

Simply put - a bet agreement.

If Gamelan can continue to win, then he will indeed have a lot of income and a lot of traffic. But if the results fail to meet expectations, Mr. Cat knows what his fate will be... He has seen too much in his career.

but--

"Such a large contract signing means they've received the news. In other words... have the Spring Split negotiations been finalized?"

Senior Cat knows very well how this system works.

It opened the Old World official website——

Just as he expected, the new game announcement was hung in the most conspicuous place.

“The first top-level large-scale offline event, the Old World Spring Split, is coming.”

Even as calm as Senior Cat, its heart still beat faster, beating its body and even its soul with a wonderful rhythm.

Nervousness, anticipation, fear...all kinds of emotions mixed together.

And—it turned into a deep breath.

"bring it on."

After making sufficient preparations, Senior Cat clicked on the announcement, read it carefully... and read every word with great cherishment.

The event will be held in twenty-five days.

And in a week, the auditions for the 22 qualifying spots will begin.

In this simple and brutal online competition, only teams that have never failed can qualify for the main competition.

In addition to the auditions, there are ten direct invitation spots for the Spring Tournament.

In addition to the previously completed "Opening Cup," there will be two compact, smaller preliminary tournaments. If you fail in the auditions, you can rely on these two preliminary tournaments to perform well enough to compete for a direct invitation spot.

"It doesn't make sense, but that's how it is in the early stages of the game..."

And after the long list of sponsors——

Senior Cat began to read the most important information.

"The Spring Tournament is indeed organized by the oil guys... The venue is... Dubai... Oh, it makes me miss it."

Even though there are many inconsistencies in this repetitive world, there are still many things that remain unchanged.

The oilmen, of course, had long recognized the importance of the old world. They were already involved in the e-sports industry, and now that a disruptive game had emerged, they were waving their money to grab the first battle. By doing so, they hoped to elevate the image of their entire country and cultural circle in the mainstream world, and so they were willing to pay extra.

That means - an exaggerated total prize money.

In addition to the special grants given at the national level to support the holding of the competition, they also took out a large amount of funds injected by sponsors and added them directly to the prize pool.

So much so that——

The total prize money for the entire spring season is roughly 1.3 billion US dollars.

One billion of that will be used to reward the championship team, while the remaining teams will share the remaining amount. And they promise that this is after-tax income.

Senior Cat was stunned.

"Why did it go up again? My weekly prize pool isn't that high."

"--morning."

When Senior Cat heard the girl's voice, his fur stood on end with fright.

But it also quickly understood that it was time for Yu Man to get up.

"Xiao Man, come and see quickly."

"……what?"

Yu Man took off the device and got up in a daze.

Even though the sleeping pattern makes you energetic, overusing your brain in the old world still makes you tired.

"Xiao Man, how much was your prize money for the spring season that week?" asked Senior Cat.

Yu Man rubbed her hair and patted her face, finally chasing away her fatigue: "...The champions will each receive 100 million US dollars, after tax."
