Preseason day.
The group, who had not left the game pool for a long time, finally returned to the small TV area.
Mu Sicheng screamed as he entered the small TV area. He stared at the central hall with wide eyes and said in surprise: “What the hell is this?!”
The small TV area, where small TVs were originally densely arranged, sank in the middle, revealing a huge, sunken round hole. This round hole was filled with seats layer by layer, forming a viewing venue similar to the Roman Colosseum. Standing on the edge and looking down, it looked like a deep, wide, flat round pool.
In the center of the venue, there is a huge screen made up of countless small TVs spliced together on both sides, floating in the air. Audiences continue to enter the arena and take their seats, chatting excitedly with each other.
“Oh, right. This is the first time that God Mu has seen the small TV area during the league.” Wang Shun slapped his head, “I forgot to tell you that the central hall will undergo a major change in appearance during the league.”
Wang Shun pointed at the large pool that Mu Sicheng was looking at in shock. “Some of the small TV areas will be converted into viewing pools. The one you just saw is the largest viewing pool. It’s for the mid-season tournament. We can’t climb up there.”
“The mid-season games will be broadcast live in this largest pool.”
“In addition to this largest viewing pool, there are many viewing pools of different sizes around it.” Wang Shun pointed around, “The preseason games will be shown in these viewing pools of different sizes.”
Mu Sicheng frowned: “These pools are just like the recommended spots on a small TV, with good and bad spots and high and low exposure, right? How can we ensure that our competition can enter a good pool?”Wang Shun smiled and said, “This involves another thing, called the gambling pool.”
Mu Sicheng asked suspiciously: “[Gambling pool]?”
Wang Shun nodded. “Over the past year, the points that the audience has accumulated from you will be multiplied five times by the system and added to the [Gambling Pool] as a basic fund. Of course, the same goes for your opponents.”
“Generally speaking, the bigger your and your opponent’s gambling base funds are, the bigger your combined [gambling pool] will be, the bigger the viewing pool you will get, the better the position, and the higher the exposure you will get.”
Mu Sicheng raised his eyebrows and asked back: “In other words, if I want my game to be broadcast in a high-exposure viewing pool and attract more viewers, either I have to have a high amount of points charged, or the team I’m playing against has a high amount of points charged?”
Wang Shun smiled and nodded: “But you don’t have to worry about this problem for now. In the preseason, you are already a team with relatively high charging points, so the viewing pool you get will not be too bad.”
“And as the game progresses, there will be a steady stream of spectators putting points into your [betting pool]. As long as you keep winning, the viewing pool you get will get better and better.”
Mu Sicheng crossed his arms and looked at the largest viewing pool and snorted, “Our match will definitely be broadcast here in the end anyway!”
“That’s because you guys made it to the playoffs.” Wang Shun pushed Mu Sicheng’s shoulders and walked forward, “Let’s go to the preseason registration point to draw the opponent team first.”
Wang Shun walked away while looking back: “By the way, Du Sanying is indispensable for selecting teams, where is he?”
Bai Liu moved aside slightly, revealing Du Sanying who was trembling and about to cry behind him.
Du Sanying held Bai Liu’s clothes with tears in her eyes: “Wuwuwu, where is this place…”
“It’s been a week.” Bai Liu said calmly, “He doesn’t remember anything again.”
Wang Shun: “……==”
Forget about this.
After Wang Shun explained science to Du Sanying until he was almost dry-mouthed, Du Sanying barely understood where this place was and what he was supposed to do now. ṛàNȯᛒΕs
Du Sanying was taken to the preseason registration office by Bai Liu.
The registration office was packed with people, especially next to the line-up for team drawing. There were few friendly-looking players, all of whom were eyeing Bai Liu’s team, which had an outstanding appearance and was very popular.
Du Sanying pulled out a piece of paper from a large lottery ticket box with shaking hands. He looked down at the name on the paper and whispered, “Nomadic House?”
The expressions of the people guarding nearby changed, and Wang Shun’s eyes lit up.
[System Prompt: (Nomadic House) has given up, (Wandering Circus) won without a fight and swallowed up the other party’s gambling pool.]
【Please select the next team. 】
Du Sanying hesitated for a moment, then reached in and drew: “North Star?”
[System prompt: (North Star) has given up, (Wandering Circus) won without a fight and swallowed up the other party’s gambling pool. ]
【Please select the next team. 】
Du Sanying was silent for a while, then continued to draw: “[Stern River Ship Helmsman]?”
[…Has given up…]
“[Sheep-horned Snake Shadow]?”
[…Has given up…]
“[Stormtroopers]…?”
[…Has given up…]
“[Minions of Uza]…?”
[…Has given up…]
“…”
The eyes of the pre-season team players surrounding him almost made a big hole in Du Sanying, who was still drawing the team’s attention. They gritted their teeth and were full of shock.
All the teams gave up, how the hell is this reasonable?!
For others, a random draw is a life-and-death battle, and they have to use all their strength to win a round. But this person is like drawing a scratch-off lottery, with a 100% winning rate. Every time he draws, he takes up the entire gambling pool.
Du Sanying was at a loss as the people around him stared at him. He turned around and glanced at Bai Liu. Bai Liu smiled and motioned for him to continue smoking.
“Butcher?” Du Sanying pulled out another punch and raised his head.
The people around stared at Du Sanying intently, waiting for the system’s answer with bated breath.
[System prompt: (The Butcher) is actively preparing for battle. Please ask the Wandering Circus to go to Game Pool No. 17 to play the game.]
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time – finally they were not the team that gave up.
“I, I, I won’t fight anymore, I give up!!” A panicked voice came from the side, “I won’t fight with Mu Sicheng!”
When Mu Sicheng heard his name, he groaned and looked over with a fierce look in his eyes, but he paused when he saw the other person’s face.
“Wow, Wuwu, Mu Shicheng beat me in the game, but I couldn’t beat him!” The man ran away crying, “He also took off my pants and showed them to the monsters!!”
“I don’t want him to take my pants off me again!”
[System Prompt: (The Butcher) has given up, (The Wandering Circus) has won without a fight and swallowed up the other party’s gambling pool]
Everyone: “…”
What the hell is going on here!
Bai Liu slowly shifted his gaze to Mu Sicheng’s face: “Do you still have this hobby?”
Mu Sicheng was furious: “Can you blame me for this? I was trying to steal something from him, but he plotted against me and I never stole anything. So what’s wrong with me bullying him? I didn’t really kill him!”
Liu Jiayi sneered: “Only an idiot like you would do such a boring thing.”
Mu Sicheng was angry: “Anyway, the result is good!”
Du Sanying continued to draw. He asked slowly and doubtfully, “[Witch Saigao]…?”
Someone nearby stood up and choked up, “I am the tactician of [Witch Saigao], I also give up.”
“Our entire team has been saved by the witch, and we are all fans of Liu Jiayi. We will never do anything to hurt her!”
The man looked at Liu Jiayi with affection and said, “Little witch, you have to win our share as well!”
Then he ran away crying.
[System Prompt: (Witch Saigao) has given up, (Wandering Circus) won without a fight and swallowed up the other party’s gambling pool]
Liu Jiayi: “…”
Mu Sicheng crossed his arms and said “wow” while dragging his tail. He looked down at Liu Jiayi with a slanted eye and said, “Is it only a fool like me who would do such a boring thing?”
Liu Jiayi had a blank expression on her face: “What are you talking about? I’m blind and can’t hear you.”
Du Sanying nervously drew another card: “Silver Rose Team?”
Tang Erda was stunned when he heard the name.
Someone walked out of the team. He looked at Tang Erda and smiled bitterly: “I didn’t expect to meet again in this way, Mr. Hunter.”
“It seems that I have no other choice but to give up.”
The man stepped forward and shook hands with Tang Er, patted his shoulder and sighed: “Keep up the good work, take care.”
Tang Erda paused and shook his hand back: “Sorry.”
Wang Shun explained to Bai Liu, “Silver Rose is a league team that previously employed Mr. Tang Erda. After leaving Captain Tang, their ranking plummeted and they have been struggling in the preseason for the past two years.”
“It can be said that this is a team that relies solely on Captain Tang.”
Du Sanying continued to draw at Bai Liu’s signal: “[Puppet Relics] Team?”
A man pushed through the crowd and slowly walked in front of Bai Liu and Mu Ke, and suddenly laughed: “Long time no see, Mu Ke, Bai Liu.”
Mu Ke paused: “Can it be possible?”
Fang Ke scratched the back of his head: “You have a really good memory. You still remember me.”
Mu Sicheng narrowed his eyes: “Hiss – I feel that this person looks very familiar, but I can’t remember where I met him…”
Wang Shun sighed with a complicated look in his eyes: “I didn’t expect to meet Fang Ke here.”
“He was the last one to survive among the group of puppets that Zhang Kui created before his death. He was in the same group as Liu Huai and Li Gou.” Wang Shun sighed, “After Zhang Kui’s death, he left the King’s Guild. I didn’t expect that he would form his own team to participate in the league.”
Mu Sicheng suddenly realized: “Oh, I remember now, Bai Liu saved his life when the last train exploded.”
Fang Ke looked at Bai Liu and Mu Ke with mixed feelings, and finally smiled with relief: “After Liu Huai died, I was the only puppet of Zhang Kui who was still alive. I joined other guilds and became their tactician.”
“But it seems that I am not destined to be someone else’s tactician.”
Fang Ke raised his hand: “System, I abstain.”
[System Prompt: (Puppet Remnant) has given up, (Wandering Circus) won without a fight and swallowed up the other party’s gambling pool]
Before leaving, Fang Ke turned around and looked at Mu Ke: “We have to win Liu Huai’s share as well.”
Mu Ke hummed: “I will.”
Fang Ke looked at Bai Liu again and laughed: “I think you can do it too.”
“You found a very good operator this time.”
Then you can wave goodbye and leave.
Du Sanying was still carefully drawing, and the looks of the onlookers nearby changed from disbelief and amazement at first to envy and jealousy, and finally to hatred.
But as things have developed to this point, everyone’s eyes have become numb.
What’s the point of competing? Hurry up and destroy it.
