Chapter 67 Yunzhou Competition
Chapter 67 Yunzhou Competition
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the much-anticipated Yunzhou Knight Competition! I am your old friend, the host - Mike!"
The dazzling lights interweaved into a sea of stars, deafening cheers resounded throughout the entire stadium, and on the huge holographic projection screen, a promotional video of the sponsor of this competition - Noah Technology - was played in a loop.
Mike's passionate voice instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience. Cheers and whistles came one after another, pushing the atmosphere of the entire competition to a climax.
“First of all, let us give the warmest applause to thank Noah Technology for its strong support for this competition!”
As soon as Mike finished speaking, the huge Noah Technology logo occupied the entire screen, and the enthusiasm of the audience rose again.
"Next, let's welcome the judges of this competition with the loudest applause! They are: Mr. Lu Hongwen, the chief dungeon strategist from Noah Technology! Mr. Qin Minglin, the CEO of Xuanwu Group! And Ms. Shen Xi, the chief operating officer of Galaxy Group!"
Under the spotlight, the three judges waved to the audience one by one, and the cheers from the audience almost overturned the entire arena.
"Alright! Ladies and gentlemen, the exciting competition is about to begin! First, let me introduce the rules of this competition to you!"
Mike cleared his throat, with a professional smile on his face, and continued: "This competition will be divided into two stages. The first stage is the single-player dungeon challenge. The contestants need to clear as many dungeons as possible within the specified time and get a higher score. Only the top ten contestants can enter the second stage of the competition!"
"The second stage of the competition is even more exciting and cruel - the Battle Royale! All qualified players will be randomly placed in a huge virtual battlefield. All they need to do is to survive in this dangerous battlefield with all their strength! In the end, only those who survive to the end can win the final victory!"
"It should be noted that the dungeon entrances for this competition are exclusively provided by Noah Technology!"
Mike's passionate commentary raised the audience's expectations to the maximum. They wished the game would start right away so that they could witness this visual feast with their own eyes!
The contestants were preparing indoors, but the atmosphere was completely different from outside.
Some of the contestants were resting with their eyes closed, some were whispering about tactics with their teammates, and some were doing their final warm-ups, trying to get themselves into the best possible condition.
There is only one exception.
At this moment, Lin Ye was lying on a soft and comfortable sofa, holding a mobile phone in his hand, leisurely watching funny videos, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if the game was just an insignificant entertainment activity to him.
"Oh, Lord Demon, you are really leisurely!"
A clear and pleasant voice rang in Lin Ye's ears.
Lin Ye didn't even raise his head and said lazily: "Ye Yiling? Why are you here?"
She was wearing a white sportswear today and had a neat ponytail. Her delicate facial features had a sly smile on them, like a little fox who had successfully stolen some fish.
"Hey, I'm here to see you!" Ye Yiling said with a smile, "The Lord Demon King is the only one who is in the limelight, and I, as a supporting role, am here to serve as a foil and compensate you!"
Lin Ye shook his head helplessly. This senior schoolmate was really eccentric and gave him a headache.
In comparison, Lu Zijin is easier to get along with.
"Originally, this place was prepared for you, Lord Demon King, but since you don't need my help, then I will come and play by myself!" Ye Yiling said with a smile, "However, Lord Demon King, I have a small request..."
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Lin Ye put down his phone and looked at her with interest.
"Um." Ye Yiling asked a little embarrassedly, "Master Demon King, can you take me with you in the second stage?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Cough cough."
He coughed lightly and glanced at the corner of the wall calmly. Sure enough, a sneaky figure quickly shrank back.
Ye Yiling hadn't reacted yet, and asked in confusion: "Master Demon King, what's wrong with you? Is the air conditioner too cold? Do you want me to turn up the temperature for you?"
Lin Ye did not answer, but just pointed in the direction of the corner with his eyes. Ye Yiling followed his gaze and was stunned.
A head popped out from the corner, with long, shiny black hair, a fair and delicate face, and a pair of big watery eyes full of surprise and panic. Who else could it be but Lu Zijin?
When their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze.
Lu Zijin's face turned red in an instant, like a ripe apple, and she turned around and wanted to run away.
"Zijin! Don't run!"
Ye Yiling was quick-witted and quick-handed. She grabbed Lu Zijin's hand and pulled her over.
"Why are you here?" Ye Yiling asked with a smile, a hint of teasing in her tone, "Are you here to look for someone on purpose?"
Lu Zijin stammered, "I was just passing by, just looking around."
"Just passing by?" Ye Yiling obviously didn't believe her words. She leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Tell me the truth, are you here to see Lin Ye?"
Lu Zijin's face turned even redder. She secretly glanced at Lin Ye and saw that he was watching videos with his head down and didn't seem to notice the situation here. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, don't talk nonsense!" Lu Zijin retorted in a low voice, but his tone was obviously guilty.
Looking at her shy appearance, Ye Yiling knew what she was thinking and couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh, you're still shy!" Ye Yiling teased her with a smile, "If you like it, just say it boldly. I won't laugh at you!"
"I"
Lu Zijin looked at Ye Yiling, then at Lin Ye, and suddenly a sour feeling of jealousy welled up in his heart.
"What is the relationship between you two?" Lu Zijin couldn't help but ask.
Lin Ye finally put down his phone, raised his head, glanced at the two of them, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Me? I am her adoptive father who has been missing for many years." Lin Ye said seriously.
"puff"
Ye Yiling almost vomited blood and said angrily: "How dare you say that? Let me tell you, my mother is serving as a judge on the jury now!"
Lu Zijin was completely confused. What was going on?
Lin Ye smiled and said, "Well, actually I am her brother who has been missing for many years."
"Brother!" Ye Yiling corrected with gritted teeth.
"Brother." Lin Ye insisted on what he said without even raising his head.
"younger brother!"
"elder brother!"
The two of them started arguing as if no one was around, completely ignoring Lu Zijin who was standing next to them with a confused look on his face.
