The results of the draw came out very quickly. However, compared to the ones in front, the ones in the back didn't garner much attention. After all, most of the audience thought that the players in Group B were pretty unlucky to pass the first round.
As far as the situation was concerned, the Famous General drew A2. His luck wasn't bad. His opponent in the first round was an A-ranked player, so he had a high chance of advancing to the top 16. Li Jianyi was also very satisfied. However, he would immediately meet the 11th ranked Demons in the quarterfinals, so the situation wasn't very optimistic.
Jiang Xueyi was the worst one. He was directly matched up against Heaven and Earth in the first round. This had basically become a tradition in Huaxing. Last season, it was Fire Beacon Battle, and this season, it was Jiang Xueyi. Other than comforting him, he didn't know what else to say.
Lin Jing's luck was not bad. Her opponent in the first round was an S-ranked player ranked 15th. This was already the highest draw. If it was any worse, then it could only be said that it was a problem of strength. However, even if she passed, she would directly face Feng Yiliu in the second round, so she would at most be in the top 16.
What made Li Huailin the happiest was that he didn't know whether God understood Li Huailin's intention or something else. Anyway, on his side, Anran was very cooperative and drew B8. This way, Anran would directly face Li Huailin in the first round. Of course, this was the situation that Li Huailin was most happy to see.
He looked at his schedule. The first round was against Anran, and the second round was against Sharpshooter. As for the third round, if there were no accidents, Li Huailin would probably face a player called "Crazy Book". Li Huailin thought for a moment. Did he remember fighting this guy before?
In theory, Li Huailin should have faced everyone in the round-robin stage. However, he didn't participate in more than a dozen matches, including suspensions and absences. Li Huailin didn't remember the opponents he killed with one strike. However, when he saw that this person called Crazy Book was actually one place higher than him, ranked 11th in the round-robin stage, Li Huailin was a little speechless.
"Looking at this unlucky name and losing like crazy, I'm also speechless." Li Huailin held his forehead.
If nothing went wrong, Li Huailin would meet Magic Kitchen in the semifinals, and then he would meet Worlds Apart in the finals. That was probably the schedule. Li Huailin nodded and felt that this was a good arrangement. After all, he didn't meet anyone from his company. Otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable.
After the draw ended, there was about 40 minutes of rest time. This was mainly for the reporters to interview the players, and then for the audience to bet on the results. After all, the match list was out. Most people already knew the names of the first, second, and third place.
The reporters could freely interview the players. Of course, they could also go to the resting room. Li Huailin was prepared to go directly to the resting room. However, before he could take a step, a large group of reporters had already rushed over. After all, he was the favorite to win the championship. Who else could they interview if not him?
"Brother Awesome, do you have the confidence to win the championship?"
"Brother Awesome, this time's finals might be against the contestant from the World's Apart. Do you have the confidence?"
"Brother Awesome, this time's finals might be like last time, will you win the match with the Five Spear Technique?"
The large group of reporters were in a mess. Fortunately, the staff of Huaxing Corporation immediately came over to maintain order. However, Li Huailin didn't have any intention of hiding from the reporters. He arrogantly started to attract hatred.
"Winning the championship is easy. If I don't win, who will?"
"Apart from the World's Apart? Easily oppressed. There's no reason to lose. "
"Five Spear Technique? That's a bit too much. Back then, I was young and frivolous … … "
"Brother Awesome, I think it was three months ago that you used the Great Art of Five Spears," the reporter reminded him.
"F * ck, I like being young and frivolous. What does that have to do with you?" Li Huailin said.
"Okay okay. Everyone, follow the order of the interviews." On the other side, Li Jianyi couldn't bear to watch anymore. This aggro-attracting skill really was top notch. It was practically offending all the pro players to death. He hurriedly came out to say this.
While speaking, Li Huailin suddenly raised his head and saw a familiar figure greeting him from the spectator stands. Li Huailin nodded and quickly ran over.
"Eh? Ruoyan, why are you here? " Li Huailin asked. Of course, the person who came was Su Ruoyan. Moreover, she was sitting in the normal stands. Li Huailin was participating in the finals. Su Ruoyan naturally knew about Su Ruoyan, but she hadn't heard that she was coming. Last season's competition, Su Ruoyan had only watched the live broadcast.
"I'm here to watch your match and earn some extra money." Su Ruoyan said. "But it looks like there's nothing to earn."
"Betting?" Li Huailin asked. "What's my current payout rate?"
"1: 1.34. I'm too lazy to buy it. If I throw in my money, I'll probably be able to push the payout rate below 1.2. After paying the tax, there's practically nothing to earn. I might even lose money." Su Ruoyan said.
"First place?" Li Huailin asked.
"Indeed. The odds are still 1: 1.41. It's a little higher than yours. Now, only the two of you are ridiculously high. The third place, Magic Kitchen, is only 1: 3.22. It's simply not worth watching," Su Ruoyan said. After that, she thought for a moment and asked, "Can you beat the World's Separation?"
"I should." Li Huailin wasn't lying to Su Ruoyan. He wasn't 100% confident because of the godly sword on the World's Separation. Li Huailin knew that the opponent had obtained the Sky Sword, Enlightenment. He also knew that this godly sword was definitely very powerful. However, he wasn't clear about its attributes. The World's Separation was also an expert. Now that the godly sword was in his hands, it would definitely be very difficult to deal with. Although Li Huailin was very arrogant during the interview, he still knew very well that he might not win.
"Then, should I bet on the World's Separation to win? Who knows, I might be able to earn some money? "Su Ruoyan asked.
"…" Li Huailin was speechless.
"I'm joking. I have confidence in you," Su Ruoyan said.
"Huh? You know how to joke too? "Li Huailin said curiously.
"Huh?" Su Ruoyan was also stunned. Indeed, she rarely joked. However, she seemed to be more relaxed around Li Huailin. He could say anything. This … should be considered a good thing.
"If you want to bet, you should bet on me. Although the odds are 1 …" Li Huailin suddenly saw someone walking over. He was immediately scared out of his wits.
"What's wrong?" Su Ruoyan turned her head and looked. It was a girl who was about the same age as her. From her appearance, she looked very beautiful. However, looking at her equipment, her level shouldn't be very high. She estimated that she was around level 30. She shouldn't be an expert. She didn't know why Li Huailin knew her and why his reaction was so big.
Out of a woman's intuition, Su Ruoyan immediately asked, "Who's that?"
"Cough, cough." Li Huailin facepalmed. The person who appeared was his so-called fiancée. Speaking of which, he hadn't seen her for a few days. Li Huailin almost forgot about it. He didn't expect her to really play this game. Looking at her equipment, she seemed to be developing very quickly. Was she really someone who hadn't played games before?
Of course, the relationship between the two was very troublesome. Li Huailin didn't want to explain it to Su Ruoyan for now. He would wait until he met her parents. Therefore, Li Huailin immediately said, "Cough, this … woman is more troublesome. It's best not to have anything to do with her."
"Huh?" Su Ruoyan looked at Li Huailin strangely.
"Didn't a hacker called Flute infiltrate your company's computer last time?" Li Huailin thought for a while and said, "It's this guy."
"Huh?" Su Ruoyan looked at Jiang Xueping in surprise. "She's a master hacker? So young? "
Jiang Xueping obviously felt that Li Huailin and Su Ruoyan were looking at her. She turned her head and stared at them. Her eyes were not very friendly. Of course, it was because she saw Li Huailin talking to another woman.
"She … she seems very fierce. Do you have a grudge against her?" Su Ruoyan obviously misunderstood Jiang Xueping's meaning. She thought that Jiang Xueping was looking at Li Huailin, so she said that.
"Uh …" Li Huailin thought for a while and didn't know how to explain it. After thinking about it, he said, "I don't have a grudge against her, but I really want to disassociate myself from her."
"Oh." Su Ruoyan didn't know what she understood, but she nodded anyway.
"Anyway, ignore her. This guy is really troublesome." Li Huailin said.
"Oh, got it." Su Ruoyan nodded.
"Boss." As they were talking, Jiang Xueyi ran over. "It's almost time. President Li asked us to go to the lounge for a small meeting."
"Got it." Li Huailin nodded, then turned to Su Ruoyan and said, "I have something to do here. I'll leave first."
"Oh, okay. Come on." Su Ruoyan said.
"This is?" Jiang Xueyi came up and asked.
"My fiancée." Li Huailin said.
"Oh, hello, sister-in-law. I'm Brother Awesome's underling, Jiang Xueyi." Jiang Xueyi said immediately.
Su Ruoyan couldn't help but blush. She had never been called sister-in-law before. It sounded a little … shy. She nodded. "I know. I heard Huailin talk about you. Come on in the competition."
"Okay, sister-in-law. No problem, sister-in-law," Jiang Xueyi said immediately.
"Okay, I'll go to the meeting first. There are many people here. Be careful. Call me if you need anything," Li Huailin said.
"En." Nodding his head, the two of them quickly separated.
Su Ruoyan was very obedient. Li Huailin told her not to look for Jiang Xueping, so she didn't. However, as soon as Li Huailin left, Jiang Xueping came up to her.
"Hello, are you Su Ruoyan from Tiancheng Group?" Jiang Xueping asked.
"That's me," Su Ruoyan said with a little vigilance.
"I'm Jiang Xueping, the manager of Meila Group in the Asia Pacific region," Jiang Xueping said.
"Huh?" Su Ruoyan was stunned. Why is it different from what I imagined?
