"I'm afraid of you. Alright, as your senior, I'll teach you a lesson today. I bet that Earth will win the team battle. If Eagle wins, I'll eat milk cartons, the number of milk cartons divided by a million!"
Old Deer waved his fist.
Yao Ailun looked surprised. "Old Deer, I was just joking. You're already so old. If you retire because of this, I'll be lonely."
The audience, which had not been very interested before, suddenly perked up. The number of viewers had fallen below 2 million. But if everyone threw a milk carton, Old Deer would have to eat two.
"Little Wheel, do you remember an old saying?"
"I'm willing to learn." Yao Ailun looked very sincere.
"The older, the wiser." Old Deer said mysteriously. "I'll say it here. Eagle will be crushed. Who dares to disagree?"
Old Deer suddenly roared. Instantly, everyone's interest was piqued. The number of people watching the live broadcast once again rose to about 3 million. Milk cartons flew over, covering the sky and covering the earth. Of course, everyone knew that this was Old Deer trying to boost the morale of the Royal Power battle team.
Emperor's members did not know whether to laugh or cry. Old Deer was digging his own grave. "Captain, we have no chance at all. What's going on!"
"This isn't encouragement, it's pressure."
Prince laughed. "Who said we're the ones fighting this round?"
Everyone was taken aback. "Our team has a consultant. We'll leave this team battle to him."
"Consultant? Who? Then who's going? "
"None of us. He alone is enough." Prince laughed. Everyone looked at Prince strangely. Had the captain been agitated? He was not acting normally.
The opponent was Manalasuo's number one team. Alone?
It was more like they could take on an entire team by themselves.
In the VVIP audience area, some of the more experienced ones had already sensed that something was wrong.
Old Deer's nickname was the Cao Cao of the eSports world. He was the epitome of a wily old fox. Clearly Manalasuo was stronger. What was going on?
"Old Deer's eyes are a little different. Where have I seen them before?"
"You don't say. It's a little. Tsk, I can't describe it. I don't know why, but I'm excited."
"Look at Old Deer's hands. His fingers are constantly overlapping. This habit …"
Many of the VVIPs were loyal fans of Old Deer. They had watched the live broadcasts together for many years. Of course, a significant portion of them had experienced the Skeleton era.
Manalasuo had also received the news. They did not know whether to laugh or cry. Earth had won?
Eat milk cartons?
This was simply courting death.
"Comrade Old Deer has opened the bet. Brothers, what are you waiting for? Let's fight, young man!" Yao Ailun began to cheer excitedly.
However, his acting skills were still a bit lacking. Everyone felt that something was wrong. Could it be?
Immediately, countless viewers demanded to know the arrangements for the final battle on Earth.
Old Deer and Yao Ailun exchanged a look. It was time.
"There's still 10 minutes before the last team battle begins. There's a small change in the Emperor battle team. They'll be sending out a consultant for the last battle. He'll be fighting 1 vs 5."
Yao Ailun was still keeping people in suspense, but a wave of heat swept through the entire broadcast room.
Against such a strong team like Manalasuo, there was only one person in the Earth region who dared to fight one against five!
Old Deer opened his arms wide. "Let us welcome the last match, the Royal Battle Team's representative. It's been a long time."
Even Old Deer was excited at the last announcement. To him, it was the same. They had once been old rivals.
Countless players saw an ID that had been silent for a long time light up.
Skeleton was online.
Manalasuo had not figured out the situation yet. Did the Earth team want to give up? But this was an official inter-district exchange match. They wouldn't go that far, would they?
The team members were boiling with anger. They were prepared to boycott the match. If not for the Solar System Federation's outstanding performance in IG, they would not even be here. But now they dared to belittle them. Boycott!
APP still maintained his cool. Ever since he had come to Earth to participate, he had felt the Earth region's attention and passion. Even when the Earth team had lost, the audience had responded with great enthusiasm. Such an atmosphere was rare in the various regions. Everyone wanted their team to win, and could not bear to lose.
APP unintentionally glanced at the number of viewers. Because he was a professional player, the exchange match also had prizes based on popularity. The higher the popularity, the higher the prize for victory. At the start of the competition, the highest number was close to 6 million. That was quite shocking. But following the defeat of the Earth team, it quickly dropped. This …
APP rubbed his eyes. Damn, what did this string of zeros mean?
What was going on? 15 million …
How was this possible? Did Earthlings have masochistic tendencies?
The other team members had also noticed the captain's strange behavior. They had also noticed the rapidly rising number of viewers, and a large number of them had surged into the VVIP section … It should be known that VVIPs were much more expensive than VIPs. Unless it was a grand competition, most viewers would not spend that kind of money.
Everyone looked at each other. What were the Earthlings doing?
Could they all be here for this person?
Wasn't that too much?
Not many people knew that Wang Zheng and Skeleton had the same identity, and APP had no way of knowing either. Although Wang Zheng had not fought in CT for more than a year, the news of the IG had been widely spread on many forums. All sorts of strange stories, about how strong the Solar System team that Wang Zheng had led had been. Although there were not many official reports, it could not suppress the word of mouth among the enthusiasts.
This filled even more people with anticipation.
Skeleton was definitely stronger than before, but how much stronger?
Old Deer and the rest were all calm and collected, without the slightest suspicion. They probably needed to drag things out a little longer, but Old Deer's personal forums were exploding.
All sorts of underground fights. Old Deer was too shameless. He clearly knew that Skeleton was going, and yet he had purposely set up such a trap, leading countless people to fall for it. But this kind of ridicule was clearly out of goodwill. As the crowd mocked, they supported the Manalasuo team wholeheartedly.
Even APP and the rest were in disbelief. Had the Earth audience gone mad? Their support rate was actually over 90%. Did they really want the opponent to lose?
"Captain, why is this guy attracting so much hate?"
"Something's wrong. The Earthlings seem to be looking down on us."
"Captain, it's over 20 million!"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Their eyes were filled with extreme excitement. This scale was unimaginable. Clearly, it had attracted almost all the enthusiasts in the Solar System.
Wang Zheng did not need any preparation. Since it was an old friend of Manalasuo, Wang Zheng directly chose the Golden Wheel.
Up until now, there had not been any mech whose sustained attack power was as strong as the Golden Wheel Battle King. In this aspect, even the Phantom King was far from it. This mech had brought Wang Zheng a challenge and joy. He really hoped that such a new type of mech would appear.
Since the opponent was a Manalasuo contestant, then he would use this mech to pay homage to the original guest.
Seeing Wang Zheng's choice, APP and the rest were a little stunned. IG's biggest discovery had been Manalasuo's Golden Wheel. Not just within Manalasuo, but the entire Milky Way Alliance's strongest countries had dug up this mech. This was a mech that was extremely difficult to master, but once mastered, it was a killing machine. Within Manalasuo, this mech was also the most widely used, but it rarely appeared in battle, because it was too difficult to master.
The opponent had already begun to familiarize himself with the mech.
Wang Zheng wanted to find out the difference between CT and the mecha in reality. It was definitely not the same. They were both using the Golden Wheel Battle King, but Wang Zheng clearly discovered that the difficulty of CT was much lower. Excluding the interference of external factors, it was just the angle of the wheels. This was really not a problem for Wang Zheng.
The audience count had broken 20 million, and 70% of them were VVIPs. Many of them had directly become VVIPs, because they had witnessed the miracles of the Wind God. But they had truly seen the Manalasuo mech.
"Leader, shall we fight?"
APP laughed. "Why not? Since the opponent is so confident, let's see the secret weapon of the Earthlings!"
Both sides prepared for battle.
Team battle map – Zerg's World of Thorns.
A typical complex team battle terrain. The red and blue teams each had an energy source to protect, and the energy source was protected by a high energy laser tower. What was different from a typical team battle map was that in this world, there were large numbers of Zerg, and there was an additional element of instability.
Such maps were usually categorized as easy, normal, or extremely difficult.
And this was undoubtedly an extremely difficult map. This meant that strong support was needed to avoid the Zerg's interference. Otherwise, just touching the Zerg's nest would mean total annihilation.
APP was rather intelligent. The Earthlings had actually sent only one person to fight them. This was belittling them. Such an opponent did not exist in this world. But as the challenger, it was not his place to say anything, and so he created a problem for the opponent.
There was a price to pay for posturing.
The numbers continued to increase. More people appeared, and Old Deer and the rest were a little conflicted.
They had been eagerly awaiting the big battle, but had not expected it to turn out like this. Manalasuo's leader was truly disgusting.
The Golden Wheel Battle King was an output-type mech and was unable to install any external detection devices. In order to avoid the nest, it would completely depend on luck. This was simply impossible. In such an extremely difficult map, not to mention a team battle, this was a situation where an army battle was taking place.
They had hoped that Skeleton could put on a spectacular 1v5, but the opponent did not seem to be giving him that chance.
This was probably APP's unconventional counterattack.
Prince and the rest were frowning as well. The battle had sunk into an awkward position. The opponent had easily put the Earthlings in a difficult position …
"Keke, Captain APP, are you really going to choose this map?" Yao Ailun could not hold it in any longer, and could not help but ask. Did they have to be so shameless? How were they going to play?
APP laughed lightly. "We Manalasuo people take competitions very seriously."
The subtext was: You Earthlings were the first to joke. They were just giving you a taste of your own medicine.
Yao Ailun was no fool. He had been rendered speechless by APP's words. He believed that Wang Zheng would have no problem going 1v5. It was just a matter of showing off. But this …
