Chapter 154: Unequalled Omniscient God!
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
"Boss, our battle announcement has already been sent out to all the Skylinks. The number of people who have expressed interest in watching this match has already exceeded 600,000!" the staff informed.
"Boss, Super Tide Web, Giant God Videos, and 10 over companies want to buy the rights for livestreaming!"
"Boss, do you want to pick up the Chairman’s call?"
Solon nodded his head. He could not respond slowly when it came to his boss.
"Solon, this competition will definitely be broadcasted throughout the Solar System. If the battle is exciting, it might even be broadcasted throughout all the CT servers in the galaxy."
Mclaren spoke quite nonchalantly. However, deep down, Solon knew that his chance to shine had finally appeared.
Mclaren was planning to retire. However, before he retired, he had to find someone to pass the torch on to. Currently, he could choose to continue taking things easy and slowly accumulate a fortune before he retired, or he could strive for one last show and go out with a bang.
After seeing miracle after miracle, Mclaren could no longer stand by idly. It was clear that he did not want to disappear from CT quietly.
"Chairman, I am confident it will be a success!"
"Excellent. Go ahead and do what you need to do. If this is successful, I can push for you to be my successor."
Mclaren had let loose something absolutely shocking. It caused Solon to momentarily feel dizzy.
Half a year ago, he had almost lost his job. Half a year later, he now stood a chance to be the chairman of Asia’s CT region.
What the f**k? Was he dreaming?
Solon told himself to stay calm as he took a deep breath. "Chairman, I will definitely not let you down."
After the call ended, Solon looked as though he had been infused with renewed vigour, much like how Popeye was after eating spinach. "Let’s do our best!"
He began to give out commands.
It has to be said that the choice of an opponent was very important. Bragging Simon’s influence was not only in that of the realm of CT; he was a bonafide online star. He was handsome and had numerous endorsements. He was the very best of the professional players and he was challenging an untested amateur. Just this gimmick alone attracted a lot of media attention.
Hard-selling something as compared to the product selling itself were two completely different ideas.
However, what the majority of the CT players were focusing on was the fact that Bragging Simon was known to be the Insightful King. What was Skeleton’s weakness?
Tyrant Su was a hardcore CT fan. The challengers from Mars were just pests. No one really knew who they were, except for Flaming Ronin, and that was just a one off occurrence that did not inspire much talk. However, Bragging Simon was different. The Earth was his playground, and there was no one who did not know of him.
Bragging Simon was extremely confident and looked assured, which caused Tyrant Su to feel a little perturbed.
"Boss, do you want me to go gather some of Bragging Simon’s videos to let you have a look at how he plays?" Tyrant Su asked as he opened up a video device.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWang Zheng smiled. "No need for that. Surprises are more fun."
Student Wang was also interested in finding out what kind of tactic the opponent had developed. Since he was so confident, he definitely felt that he could beat Skeleton and would be quite skillful. In this case, even if Wang Zheng wanted to beat him, it would not be so easy.
Tyrant Su proceeded to put away his video device.
At the same time, the situation in all the major colleges and universities was the same. Everyone was hiding in their dormitories, Skylink open and ready to watch the livestream.
With Bragging Simon’s influence, he had also attracted an uncountable number of girls. This was the advantage of having a handsome face.
An Mei and friends were also in their dormitories. The few of them were dressed pretty casually.
"Meimei, where is Tyrant Su? He isn’t accompanying you?"
An Mei rolled her eyes. "Wang Zheng is back, so this guy has started to disappear here and there."
"Hehe. Meimei, you need to be careful. A good friend is one that is for life," a girl from the neighboring dormitory said.
"Go to h*ll. Actually, I don’t really mind that he’s doing this." An Mei smiled.
The girls let out peals of laughter. If any guy had heard this, they would definitely feel extremely thankful for such an understanding girlfriend. The usually soft-spoken and dependent sun goddess was actually so independent!
10 minutes later, Skeleton and Bragging Simon were both online.
Once again, two familiar faces could be seen on the commentator’s table. Deer God and Little Bubbly were sitting side by side.
As CT’s number one black-hearted Deer God, he had spent almost half a month recuperating from the previous encounter and was now lively and full of vigor. It was said that he had spent this time practicing and learning some philosophy too.
Just looking at the aura he exuded, Old Deer indeed seemed to have changed. It could be that Bragging Simon gave him confidence unlike any before.
"Hello, everyone, we meet again. I know that everyone can see that I am very happy right now. It is my pleasure, along with Bubbly Foam’s, to be your commentators for today."
For the start of the match, Old Deer seemed very formal. It looked as though he had rehearsed this. There were no indications of him doing anything different, and he remained calm.
Bubbly Foam gave a slight smile. "Thank you, everyone, for tuning in. For today, on one side we have the hero of the masses, Skeleton! On the other side we have a true expert of the professional circuit, also known as the Strongest King! The mid lane killing god, Bragging Simon! Both names should be familiar to you, so we won’t be doing any further introductions. Before the battle, Bragging Simon mentioned that he had discovered Skeleton’s weakness! Everyone, please stay tuned for this."
"I wont say any extra things. Currently, both sides are choosing the map," Old Deer said.
A screen showing the map selection screen opened. "Ah. It seems as though Bragging Simon has picked a professional solo fighting map!"
At this time, the discussion forum erupted. Numerous players were wondering deep down... Could it be?
At this time, the highly officious Old Deer was suddenly clenching his fist. As a professional commentator, he could see the problem here.
All of the viewers were furiously studying the screen. For professional solo matches, it was possible to ban specific mecha from being played.
What was an expert? What determined if one was an expert? It was someone who could use any mech!
One had to be able to use all kinds of mecha. Many of such "heroes of the masses" were only able to use one mech skillfully. However, once they could not do so, they were finished. Their show was over and their piloting skills were a mess. It threw everything into chaos.
Many people had overlooked this very simple fact, that Skeleton was best at the Wargod No. 1!
As the Wargod No. 1 did not have an energy shield, everyone thought that this was most beneficial to their opponents.
However, thinking back, what if Skeleton could not use his prized Wargod No. 1?
At the same time, Bragging Simon smiled. He had chosen to ban the Wargod No. 1 from use.
F**k! This was truly heaven-shaking!
It was as though Skeleton had placed all his eggs in one basket. One knock and it would all be over for him. In fact, the first one who thought of this was truly lucky!
Bragging Simon truly was the Mid Lane King! One who could easily draw the first blood of the match!
But was that truly it?
In fact, one would be gravely mistaken.
That would truly be looking down on Bragging Simon’s intelligence. It would also be looking down on Deer God’s intelligence as well.
"Hello, everyone, I would like to say a few words. The following broadcast might disappoint everyone. This is because it will just be a show where kids are being bullied by adults!"
Deer God had not merely revived, he had reincarnated with the spirit and energy of a raging god!
"Old Deer, although the Wargod No. 1 has been used exclusively, this does not mean that Skeleton cannot use other mecha," Bubbly Foam retorted.
Old Deer was motionless like a hill as he proclaimed, "Little Bubbly! You are still too young!"
Currently, Old Deer was acting like a suspicious individual. The only thing missing from completing that image was a lollipop in hand to entice children.
Some reacted to his words, but the majority did not. This was because most had already guessed that Bragging Simon would use such a tactic.
After his mech was selected, the opponent had to choose another mech in his garage of mecha.
However, when Skeleton opened his garage, it caused the seven million viewers to be absolutely shocked.
F**k. It seemed as though he did not even possess the four basic Earth mecha???
This Skeleton! Had he even played CT before???
After players had created an account, they had access to a few free mecha, such as the Wargod No. 1. There were also some mecha used for maintenance available. All of these could be freely used and did not have any repair costs.
However, the cheapest mecha for purchase were the four basic mecha. It would cost just 10 dollars. However, Skeleton did not even have such mecha. F*ck. He was so cheap that he didn’t even spend 10 dollars?
Brother, oh, brother! Did you not even have any common sense to get alternate mecha?
Wang Zheng tried to select the Hunter Type III, but it could not be used. The system prompted that he had to pay, but he had already entered the matchmaking system and could not make payments to unlock it.
Wang Zheng then flipped to the next screen and saw a few maintenance mecha.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this point in time, the entire audience had turned silent, and even Solon was stunned at this sight.
He had never, ever, ever imagined that Skeleton had never opened up the mech garage screen. This was common sense and one of the most fundamental things to do. Was he planning to use the Wargod No. 1 forever???
This live broadcast could not continue!
"Keke, how will our god, Skeleton, respond? If it was me, I would quickly admit defeat and perhaps Bragging Simon might even give me a second chance," spoke Old Deer smilingly.
Regardless of what happened, just giving up would make him feel happy. Old Deer’s expectations were not much; he had to learn to enjoy life’s little pleasures.
In just a few moments, the entire audience was asking for the match to be cancelled and remade. However, the competition had started. Unless it was a technical failure, this would be considered a loss.
If one did not have a mech, that was his own problem! It was his fault for not preparing!
Bragging Simon had guessed correctly. This person was a smurf and had specially trained to use the Wargod No. 1. He had not purchased any mecha at all.
This was the Achilles’ heel of these self-conceited geniuses. They would not even do anything extra, like buying other mecha.
The process did not pause, and 10 seconds later, Wang Zheng entered a mech. Following which, an engineering mech appeared in front of the audience.
He still wanted to fight???
OMG’s Hercules 5th Generation
Its name sounded extremely oppressive, but it was actually used for farming. Its performance was nothing special and it had no energy shields either. However, what was important was that this mech did not have a laser gun nor an alloy knife!
Did anyone ever see a farming mech bring weapons?
On the screen, the Hercules could be seen wielding a shovel in its left hand and a hammer on its right! It truly seemed quite imposing. However, no one was excited.
Wang Zheng did not know what Bragging Simon was trying to do, but he didn’t care either way. If one wanted to pick someone else’s mech, they had to own it themselves. It has to be said that CT was quite cunning; even if one was not good at that mech, they would still have to spend money to buy it.
Hence, Wang Zheng had chosen the Wargod No. 1 to begin with.
In Old Deer’s words, was this just futile resistance?
"Is today April Fool’s?"
"F*ck, I even abandoned my girlfriend for this. I’m doomed!"
"God! Just kill me already. Bragging Simon is truly lucky!"
...
Sounds of outrage echoed all over the forums.
Deer God finally started feeling invincible. Even the heavens were on his side this time.
"Keke. True warriors will face even the bleakest circumstances head on. Bragging Simon is truly the King of Insight. His first blow has already drawn blood! I think that after this match, our little friend Skeleton will have learned his lesson. Let us cheer for Bragging Simon. The strength of our seniors is truly unmatched!"
Old Deer than began to clap loudly.
