There was still half an hour to the evening's match . The 4 teams with the highest popularity had been split into two matches, with the winner entering the finals .
Mu Guang's "God's Eye" against High Smile's "Happy Camp . "
Yao Ailun's "Super Ailun Cool" against Lilith Zhen's "Dream Plan . "
Without question, Mu Guang and High Smile's matchup was labelled the final show . Whether in popularity or ability, this match-up was superior .
The competition was about to start, and Yao Ailun had yet to receive a call from Wang Zheng . Damn, would he drop the ball at such a crucial moment?
If it was not a desperate situation, he would not have wanted to trouble Wang Zheng either . Such a celebrity invitational was not just about winning . Most crucially was the entertainment factor . They had to play beautifully, in a way that was well-received, and unique .
On this point, Mu Guang and High Smile were all over it .
And for his own style?
If his style had been banter with Old Deer, then now he needed to find his own style .
It was just about 10 minutes to the start before Wang Zheng's call finally came .
"Ancestor, you're finally here . Quickly prepare . " Yao Ailun said anxiously .
"No rush, no panic, no fear . I've found you a guest . " Wang Zheng said .
"Eh? You're not going?" Yao Ailun was taken aback .
Wang Zheng laughed . "I'm not a star . So… I found you a star . You all had better get on quick . "
"Tch . You brat, what stars do you know? You wouldn't be deceiving me, would you . "
"Damn, am I so unreliable? Definitely a fit for your style . " Wang Zheng grinned .
"Tch, I'm already in this state . What style is there to speak of?" Yao Ailun said self-mockingly .
"Wrong . We came from Dorm 007 . We walk the high road!" Wang Zheng encouraged Yao Ailun . "Chen Xiu and the rest are watching on, as well as many people from the school . Don't let your fans down now . "
Yao Ailun was swayed . Damn, at most he would lose face, which wouldn't be the first time either . He adjusted his spectacles . "Who do they think I am? This is just a small stage!"
"Right, who did you find?"
"That's confidential!"
Yao Ailun was stunned . Confidential… But this was not a bad way to deal with it .
On the other side, the host was introducing the 2 teams, and the first match would be Mu Guang's team against High Smile's team .
The popularity had already broken 10 million . This was a hot event, and finals always had such viewerships . Besides, both teams were made up of well-known people .
The match was fairly entertaining . Both pros had chosen support positions, to allow for the commentators and guests to shine . This also allowed the professionals to show off their overall strategic skills .
It had to be said that even for a support, Sun Tianxiong was owning . He brought their momentum up . Mu Guang by himself was already strong . Zhang Ziyan just had to brainlessly give everything . In the end, after half an hour, Mu Guang's team won, and the popularity soared at 13 million . This was also a record high, and on par with professional competition finals .
Closely following was the second match, with Yao Ailun's team against Lilith Zhen's team .
The host introduced them . Due to Li Zhuoer's ill health, Yao Ailun's team had changed their celebrity at the last minute, but it was a mystery guest, and the identity had yet to be revealed .
It had to be said that the suspense had attracted considerable interest . Although only 8 million people were online, but it had stabilized . After all, a large proportion of the viewers had come for the 1st match .
Below, Mu Guang was laughing with Sun Tianxiong . This was completely their stage, and their era . Old Deer and Prince were after their time now, and counted for nothing . If they groveled, they might get enough to get by, but if they tried to put on airs, they would beat them up .
Prince as a support, and Yao Ailun chose Storm Swordsman . The mystery guest chose Wind God .
In truth, Yao Ailun was waiting in anticipation . Perhaps Wang Zheng had come on himself after all .
Many on campus were waiting in suspense as well . They were rooting for Yao Ailun, who was after all one of their own .
In this time, those that dared to use Wind God in the Earth zone were of a considerably high standard . Even Prince had not dared to use it recently . The operational difficulty of Wind God was too high . It was Earth zone's emblematic mecha, and a slight falter would see it crumble .
Even the host said that the bravery of this guest was commendable, and that he held expectations for a spectacular performance .
But…
Reality was often cruel . This Wind God user was clearly a noob . Prince was reeling as well . He almost busted a gut supporting . Luckily Yao Ailun's standard was way above Lilith's, and although the opponent's celebrity was better than their own, but they managed to pull ahead . The opponent's professional was Ailas from KT team, who clearly did not use his full force, giving some face to Prince .
Not every professional player was as arrogant as Sun Tianxiong . This was an entertainment match, and seniors should be given some face .
In the end, Yao Ailun's team took a surprising win . The host's commentary had favored Prince heavily . That was all that could be said about this match . Although they had thought it would be a pleasant surprise, but it was clear that this mystery guest was simply a last-minute plug . In order to hold interest, he naturally had to focus on Prince's contributions, and appeal to the nostalgic memories .
After the match ended, there was a half hour break before the finals .
Ailun's Super Cool team against Mu Guang's God's Eye .
After all, it was the finals, and the view count returned to 10 million . But clearly Yao Ailun's side was lacking . Old Deer had not said anything all this while . Clearly, he hoped that Yao Ailun could extricate himself from the situation . If he showed his face at this time, then it really signaled that Yao Ailun could not make it alone, and he would be looked down upon .
It was at this time that Yao Ailun and Prince fell out .
"Ailun, where did you find that mystery guest? That…" Prince was annoyed . If it was not for the fact that his counterpart had shown him respect, they would have been directly eliminated . That person was completely a noob .
It was normal for the entertainment industry to be noob, after all it depended on their reputation, not ability . But Prince was curious as to who was this noob .
Yao Ailun was lost as well . He could not hide things from Prince . "At first I asked Skeleton, but this doesn't seem to be him . "
"What!" Prince stood up happily . "Where is he?"
Yao Ailun called Wang Zheng on the Skylink . Prince roughly knew Wang Zheng's situation . He was the true biggest fan of Skeleton, even till now . But he also knew that the chance of Skeleton returning was not big . After all, a person of that caliber would have no interest in things like these .
"Boss, what are you playing at? Who did you invite? We were sabotaged by you . If it wasn't for Prince, it would have been over for us . " Yao Ailun wailed, almost in tears .
Wang Zheng guffawed, ignoring Yao Ailun . "Prince, long time no see . I see you're as good as ever . "
It was the first time that Prince chatted like this with Wang Zheng . Holding down the emotions welling inside, he said "I'm old, and getting slow . The opponent cut me slack, otherwise we would have lost . "
"That's called intimidation . The only one capable of it in the Earth CT scene is you . As expected of my old rival . "
For some reason, Wang Zheng's words caused Prince to be afire with motivation . He felt like enduring to this day had been worthy it .
"I hope we can match again some day!" Prince said .
"Haha, the day you retire I'll definitely be there . And now the noob that dragged you down just now is here to apologize . "
Wang Zheng grinned . As he spoke, he swiped a chat screen over, and the image bloomed .
Yao Ailun and Prince turned to stone .
Yao Ailun rubbed his eyes . "D*mn me, I'm hallucinating . "
Prince's mouth fell open . "Is this the real person?"
Huiyin was the very picture of contrition . "I didn't expect to be that bad . As Brother Wang Zheng said, I've been nothing but trouble for you . "
"Little wench, for the next round choose something you're familiar with . You almost put these two in their grave . "
After a beat, from a certain guest room, two guys' whoops and howls could be heard .
Wang Zheng was speechless as well . Was this really Yao Ailun, who came from noble birth? And Prince, who was stable as a mountain?
Seeing the two manly guys screaming for Huiyin, Wang Zheng was also happy .
In the entertainment, he only knew Lin Huiyin . Besides, the real person did not need to be present . Just an image would be enough . He had asked her thoughts, and she was also on vacation . She had been bored out of her skull since returning . If she did not have to care about the stir it would create, she would have come to Earth to find Wang Zheng earlier .
Hearing Wang Zheng invite her to such an interesting activity, she immediately accepted . She was no stranger to CT . Before, she had seen Wang Zheng use Wind God superbly, and had thought it was super cool . She had wanted to try it out, but things had turned out this way .
In another guest room nearby, Mu Guang and the rest were chatting lightly . They were currently holding a press interview . They felt that they were destined to win, and also take the popularity prize as well .
Perhaps Yao Ailun and Prince were going too overboard . Their shrieks were heard all the way over here as well .
In front of the press, Mu Guang still held his composure . He still held respect for Old Deer, a senior in the commentary world . He would endeavor to surpass his senior's brilliance, and create a new world .
And as for Yao Ailun?
He was far from anything!
"Mu Guang, what do you think are the odds of Yao Ailun's team winning?"
Mu Guang smiled slightly . "If I said 50 50, everyone would call me a liar . I think it will be a walkover, but we will definitely try to bring a spectacular match for everybody . But this will require us to tie up one of Tianxiong's hands, and also for our Goddess Ziyan's fans not to go overboard . Haha . "
From the gues troom, there was loud laughter, whereas no attention was paid to Yao Ailun's side . The media simply chased the sensational news . They had thought that Old Deer would support his disciple, but he had not made an appearance from start to end . In the end, his showing had been so poor, and there was nothing to talk about . They clearly did not want the last final to turn into a joke .
The organizers were speechless as well . Although this had been Old Deer's plan, but any program had rules . Sponsors, advertisement arrangements, and of course personnel .
Prince was not coming on for the last match?
D*mn, this shitty team was at least worth watching for Prince . Many had come just for his sake .
