In the meeting room of the arena in the main city of the humans, the meeting for the contestants at night had yet to start. However, most of the contestants had already arrived. When Li Huailin walked into the meeting room, he saw a few familiar contestants sitting there discussing something. He guessed that they had also heard about the competition from their bosses and were currently discussing it.
Seeing Li Huailin and his party walking in, everyone's gaze was focused on them. Li Huailin also swept his gaze across the people present. Basically, all the S-ranked contestants had already arrived. Not a single A-ranked contestant had arrived. On the S-ranked contestants' side, basically everyone was sitting together discussing the current situation. There were only a few exceptions. One was Sharpshooter, who was standing at the side. He seemed to have been expelled from the ZTE Group. Huaxing hadn't contacted him either. They really didn't have the time. Therefore, Sharpshooter was still an S-ranked contestant without a company. It was unknown whether he would be able to play professionally in the next season. Looking at the current situation, he seemed to have given up on himself. The other one was Anran, who was currently sleeping at the side. That fellow was really … I really don't know what to say.
Other than that, all the S-ranked contestants were sitting together. From the looks of it, the atmosphere was quite good. Li Huailin also nodded slightly. At least after he was appointed as the team leader, the disputes between the factions were much smaller. Regardless of whether it was the Magic Kitchen faction, the Worlds Apart faction, or the neutral faction, at least they all gave him face. Comparatively speaking, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Li Huailin's side was actually also considered a faction. Together with him were a few people from the company. In addition to Jade Emperor and the others who usually teamed up with him, there were currently only three people in Hua Xia's team who had a say: Li Huailin, Worlds Apart, and Magic Kitchen. Of course, excluding the A-ranked contestants who hadn't arrived yet.
"This way." Seeing Li Huailin enter, Magic Kitchen also slightly waved his hand, indicating for Li Huailin to come over and talk. Of course, Li Huailin also knew what they wanted to talk about. He directly went to the center of the meeting room. On this side, Magic Kitchen, Worlds Apart, and Li Huailin sat opposite each other. The others behind them were assigned to stand behind them and listen to their opinions.
"Huailin, you already know about the matter." Magic Kitchen was the first to speak. "Tianyu Corporation proposed a new distribution of prize money. They suddenly increased the prize money by a few thousand times. The company and the competition committee have yet to discuss it. We want to hear your opinion."
"I heard that many small countries have already expressed that they will not participate in this year 'Nations Cup." "After all, the registration fee is a hundred million USD. If we don't get it back, it won't just be the pro players. The entire country might be affected as well."
"Oh?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. However, when he thought about it, it made sense. The small countries' professional players almost always felt like they were training with the G6. He had never seen a small country get a good ranking. This time, it was a little too dangerous. If they really did not get a single cent, 100 million USD was really not a price that all countries could afford.
However, after hearing the meaning behind Wind's words, Li Huailin slightly frowned. Could it be that there are people who are prepared to not participate in the competition?
Before he could speak, World Apart suddenly spoke. "As a member of the G6, we definitely have to participate in the competition. However, this distribution of prize money is really a bit problematic. I really don't understand it. A competition should be a competition. Now that it involves such huge benefits, it really shouldn't be done."
From what World Apart said, it could be seen that he was indeed a relatively more upright professional player. However, his way of thinking was too idealistic. Without the support of benefits, the world would not be able to function at all. Li Huailin smiled slightly. He roughly understood the situation, so he directly said, "I have already discussed this problem with our boss. We definitely have to participate in the competition. As for the rules, since it has already been set, then so be it."
Everyone nodded. Most people still agreed to participate in the competition. They had also calculated that even if they were in sixth place, they basically would not lose anything. After all, they were a G6 country. The problem of funding was a problem for small countries. It basically had nothing to do with them.
"But 3.2 billion is too little. What's the point of playing? If we're going to play, we're going to play big. There's no point in playing without a starting price of 10 billion." Li Huailin suddenly dropped a bombshell.
"10 billion?" Everyone was shocked. "Are you serious?"
"Of course. I have already said it. I have also asked Director Li to negotiate with the people from the competition committee," Li Huailin said.
"Hey, hey." Millennium Unchangeable had also just heard about this matter. He immediately came over and said, "Huailin, is this a joke? If we lose 10 billion, no one will be able to pay for it. When that time comes, it will not be a problem of just losing."
"I know. Is there a problem?" Li Huailin looked at the surrounding S-rank players and said, "If anyone feels that they are not confident and will definitely lose, it is best for you to say it now. Otherwise, once the members are confirmed, you will not be able to escape even if you want to."
"…" Most people did not say anything. As a professional player, no one could do something like admitting defeat without fighting. However, the burden of 10 billion was not a small amount. No one immediately replied to Li Huailin. They had not thought about it yet.
"Really, when the time comes, there will be no one left. Even if you guys don't fight, I will still fight." Li Huailin said, "If you guys think that you have played for so many years just to protect yourself, I do not need such teammates."
"I will participate." When Feng Yiliu saw the situation, he immediately raised his hand and said, "This is the Nations Cup. Huailin is right. As a professional player, it is not only about earning money to support yourself. You also need to stand up when others need you and accept all the pressure. Moreover, I feel that there are many people who are under even more pressure than us. If even we do not dare to stand up, how can we give them confidence? "
Naturally, Feng Yiliu was referring to the bosses of the various companies. Professional players could not afford such an exaggerated amount of 10 billion. If they lost in the end, all the money would be distributed to the members of the various companies' alliance. If the professional players had no confidence in themselves, then the companies' alliance would naturally not dare to throw money around.
Feng Yiliu of Li Huailin's faction was the first to express his opinion. Very quickly, Jiang Xueyi and General Talent also raised their hands. They had heard what Li Huailin had said before, so they were mentally prepared. After that, the Summoning Jade Emperor and Millennium Immutable were slightly surprised, and they also raised their hands. As for the people who raised their hands, they were Separated from the Heavens.
"I agree with what you said," Separated from the Heavens said. Separated from the Heavens said, "As a professional player, I have the responsibility to bear this pressure. I will participate."
When Separated from the Heavens raised their hands, many of the players who did not know what to do saw their bosses also agree. After thinking about it, they felt that it made sense. So, very quickly, True Wind, Twinkle Orange, and the others also raised their hands in agreement. Only Magic Kitchen and the others had not yet agreed. This was because Magic Kitchen still had not expressed his opinion.
Everyone's gaze turned to Magic Kitchen. Magic Kitchen was clearly thinking. The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly froze. After about a minute of silence, Magic Kitchen suddenly laughed, "I think I'm crazy, but I agree.
"In the past, I might not have agreed to this. After all, it is too dangerous. If we lose, the price we will have to pay isn't just a matter of money," Magic Kitchen said. Of course, if you lost in a normal competition, then you were just a lousy team. If you lost this competition, then you would probably have to retire from the professional scene. If you made a mistake, then your entire life's work would go to waste. Magic Kitchen couldn't believe that he actually agreed. But for some reason, he felt that he could win. "In short, just think of me as crazy. I agree."
"Welcome." Li Huailin casually extended his hand and shook Magic Kitchen's hand. He then looked at the people behind Magic Kitchen and said, "What about you guys?"
All of them were professional players in the Dark Faction. They were also members of the Magic Kitchen Faction. Honestly speaking, this matter was too shocking for them to process. However, after giving it some thought, they decided to follow along since the boss of the Magic Kitchen Faction had already agreed to it. Soon, they agreed to follow along.
Twenty-two people in the room had already agreed. The only ones who didn't say anything were Anran, who was sleeping, and Sharpshooter. Li Huailin turned to look at Sharpshooter, then said, "What about you? Sharpshooter. "
"Huh?" Sharpshooter was obviously stunned. He did not expect Li Huailin to ask for his opinion. Although he did not come over, he heard everything. After thinking for a while, Sharpshooter said, "Of course, this has nothing to do with me. Anyway, I don't have a company right now. It's another matter if I play professionally or not. If I lose, I'll just leave. It's not like I'm the one paying."
"So, you agree?" Li Huailin nodded. "Very good. Since everyone has expressed their opinions, we've already won half the battle."
"What about the A-rank players?" Magic Kitchen suddenly asked. "They haven't arrived yet."
"We're already here." As they spoke, a woman's voice suddenly came from the door. Everyone turned to look and saw that Yin Xiaoyin had already arrived with the remaining seven A-rank players. They were walking through the door of the conference room, and to be honest, they looked quite imposing.
"Oh?" Li Huailin nodded. "Then, do you need me to repeat what I just said?"
"No need. We also agree," Yin Xiaoyin said. "Not only that, but we also hope to increase our funding."
