However, every Sunday, the number of people that came to the battle arena cafe would increase greatly. The direct reason was that the Battle Arena Corporation would hold a weekly match on the weekend, but the more fundamental reason was that the battle arena cafe had adopted the strategy of letting the weekly match be streamed live for free.
Although Steel City was [Gaia]'s base, [Gaia] was a Hero organization. The number of people in a Hero organization was typically quality over quantity. Hence, the official members were only a minority of the residents. Most of the residents were the original residents of the base, as well as the family members that the official members brought. These residents were the same as the residents of other cities. They did not have much resistance to watching a live broadcast of a match that was similar to watching a movie. Furthermore, the quality of the battle arena cafe's viewing hall was rather high, and it was even free!
Hence, although Yang Weiwei's "attention" was somewhat exaggerated, the number of people that came to the viewing hall to watch the weekly match was definitely not a handful. There were at least a hundred people.
And today was even more special. As the heavyweight news of Miss Xiao Xiao personally participating in the weekly match had been specially spread by the battle arena cafe's publicity department, it did not take long for the battle arena cafe's viewing hall to be filled with people.
When Xiao Xiao was mentioned, people would immediately think of four key pieces of information — Battle Arena Corporation's princess, Peihua University's top student, a Psyker blessed by nature, and a beauty that could topple countries. And once these four key pieces of information were combined, it naturally resulted in a fan effect that was in no way inferior to that of a celebrity idol.
By coming to the battle arena cafe, not only could one watch a live broadcast of a match that was similar to a movie, one could also catch a glimpse of Princess Xiao Xiao's elegance. Most importantly, it was freaking free! Hence, no matter how much people hated virtual competitions, they were attracted here.
Yang Yang was also one of the people who came to watch, but he was different from the rest. He was attracted here by Shi Xiaobai. Yang Weiwei had specially sent him a text message, flaunting her "great achievement" of recommending Tu Dahei as a contestant. Yang Yang expressed his helplessness in ridiculing Yang Weiwei for letting a rookie at the third level of the Psionic Mortal Realm participate in a free-for-all where the seventh level of the Psionic Mortal Realm was crawling on the ground. However, he could not help but give a thumbs up and praise "well done".
He yearned to understand Shi Xiaobai's true strength. Only by doing so could he know how great the gap between him and Shi Xiaobai was. Yang Weiwei's actions had undoubtedly won his heart.
However, Yang Yang's mood was a little terrible because he saw someone he didn't want to meet in the viewing hall. What was worse was that this person's seat number was right next to his.
Yang Yang's gaze struggled for a moment before he gently sat down beside that person, hoping that that person would not notice his arrival.
However, things did not go as he wished. The moment he sat down, that person turned his head. After a moment of shock, he sneered coldly, "Oh, isn't this the mortal with only passable Mind Expanse? What's his name again? "
The corners of Yang Yang's mouth twitched slightly. The blond youth named Kevin beside him was still as infuriating as before. He had been smacked in the face swollen by Shi Xiaobai in the rookie test, but now, he was still unrepentant in pretending to be fat. It was unknown where his confidence came from.
Previously, Yang Yang had always kept a respectful distance from a C Class Psyker like Kevin. He knew very well the boundary between a genius and a mortal, so he did not dare cross it. But ever since he met Shi Xiaobai, he increasingly felt that creatures like geniuses were not superior to others.
Look at Shi Xiaobai. He's extremely talented, but isn't he still adorably silly?
"Oh, it's you, Golden-Furred Narcissist."
Yang Yang pretended to have just discovered Kevin's existence and ruthlessly retorted. Now, he no longer had the awe and fear he once had for Kevin.
Kevin's face immediately turned the color of pig liver. This humiliating form of address made him recall Shi Xiaobai's hateful face. His encounter at the rookie test was still fresh in his mind, so he could not help but snort coldly, "Hmph, lowly mortal."
Yang Yang smacked his lips. He had no interest in engaging in a meaningless exchange of curses with Kevin. He ignored Kevin and turned his head to look at the huge screen in the studio.
At this moment, the screen was showing the commentary booth. In order to achieve a viewing experience similar to the League of Legends, the Battle Arena Corporation would invite two rather famous commentators for the weekly matches. And today, they had invited a father-daughter commentary duo that was one of the best in the country — Sweets and Biscuit.
Although Biscuit was a little plump in his middle age, his professional knowledge was on point and he was extremely eloquent. Now, he was a commentator for the national professional league. As for the sweet-looking Sweets, she was Biscuit's daughter. Her commentary skills could be said to have surpassed her father's. She was extremely famous in the commentary world at a young age.
The Battle Arena Corporation had put in a lot of effort in inviting the two to commentate. After all, Princess Xiao Xiao was personally participating in the competition. Even if it was just a virtual competition, it was not to be taken lightly.
At this moment, the two commentators had just finished introducing the rules of the weekly match. After the seven-person free-for-all was announced, the audience in the studio immediately broke out into a flurry of discussion. Compared to a team battle or a tag-team battle, a simple and crude seven-person free-for-all was clearly more exciting.
After introducing the rules of the competition, the commentators began introducing the seven participants. The atmosphere immediately turned cold. This was because the audience that often came to watch the weekly matches had already guessed the representatives of the various branches. After all, each branch could only send one contestant. Clearly, they would send the branch's strongest contestant.
Other than the Muse branch's representative contestant being Princess Xiao Xiao, the audience that often watched the weekly matches knew very well who the other branches' strongest contestants were. Hence, they only looked forward to the commentators' introduction of Xiao Xiao. As for the other contestants, as well as the most likely [Gaia] branch to send out King of Leopards, they were already very familiar with them.
And the five contestants introduced by the two commentators did not exceed the audience's expectations.
Seventh level of the Psionic Mortal Realm — GunfireInTheWorld
Seventh level of the Psionic Mortal Realm — Hammer Fatty — I'm Not a Pig
Eighth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm — DualBladesToTraverseTheWorld
Eighth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm — TenderOneShot
Ninth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm — Spear-Wielding Youth — WindWithoutTrace
These five people were familiar faces. They had performed well in numerous weekly matches, so they naturally had some fans. There were exclamations and praises coming from the viewing hall from time to time. The youth named "WindWithoutTrace" had the most enthusiastic cheers.
At that moment, a person wearing a clown mask and a clown suit suddenly appeared on the screen in the box used to introduce the appearance of the contestants. The audience in the viewing hall was instantly stunned, and the commentator's seat also seemed to be shocked.
"It's an unfamiliar face. It looks like [Gaia] branch has recruited a new customer this week." Sweets said.
"Yea, the name is somewhat strange. How do you think we should understand the meaning of the name 'IChooseDogLeading'?" Biscuit said with a laugh.
"Maybe, DogLeading is the nickname of the person this contestant likes?" Sweets laughed.
The two commentators were still discussing the oddity and profound meaning behind the name IChooseDogLeading.
There was a commotion in the viewing hall.
"It's actually not King of Leopards? Could it be that [Gaia] branch has gained an even stronger customer? "
"IChooseDogLeading, which God knows the meaning behind this name? Please answer online."
"Could it be that [Gaia] branch is going to rise today? IChooseDogLeading is a killer move that has been hidden for a long time? "
“.....”
When Yang Yang heard the discussions of the crowd, he wanted to loudly tell them that this was the in-game name Shi Xiaobai had come up with. Do not think too deeply about it, or when the truth was revealed, they would find themselves so dumb that they could move the heavens and earth.
Yang Yang sighed slightly. Seeing Kevin muttering to himself to guess the meaning behind the name, as though he knew it very well, Yang Yang was immediately rendered speechless.
He turned his head to survey the crowd and suddenly realized that the person beside him was trembling slightly. He looked extremely excited.
Then, Yang Yang heard the man say something with a trembling voice.
"DogLeading … God DogLeading!?"
