The All-Star Weekend was bustling with noise and excitement. As the host, Club Samsara, after completing the Alliance's requirements, of course they would do their best to promote themselves. After entering the venue, they received a brochure. Each of the 24 All-Star players took up a page. A photo, a bit of personal information, a bit of introduction, and finally, a powerful hand-drawn portrait of a Glory character. The craftsmanship was quite exquisite.
Who were the 24? A Glory fan like Chen Guo had memorized it long ago. The more she flipped through the brochure, the more excited she became. She was especially excited when she saw Su Mucheng's page. She even forgot to walk.
Chen Guo had seen this All-Star Commemorative Brochure before. At that time, on Su Mucheng's page, Ye Qiu would definitely be there. It was just that there was always a shadow in the photo, making it seem like a mystery. And now, on Su Mucheng's page, there was a new member of Excellent Era, Sun Xiang.
One Leaf Of Autumn's image was still as mighty as ever, but his owner had finally changed.
Team Excellent Era's players were these two. If you really wanted to talk about the team's results, this season's Excellent Era's dismal performance wasn't very convincing. However, Su Mucheng's popularity had nothing to do with the team. For someone like her, even if she didn't play a single match in the season, it was very likely that her fans would push her into the All-Star roster.
As for Sun Xiang, he had only transferred to Excellent Era in the middle of the season. Before, his performance at his old team, Team Conquering Clouds, had been extraordinary. He had led this very ordinary team into the top eight. After transferring to Excellent Era, Team Conquering Clouds' results immediately fell. On the other hand, Team Excellent Era's results quickly improved, which showed that this person wasn't ordinary. Last year's Rookie King's popularity had clearly reached a new level this year.
Amidst the bustling crowd, the three found their seats. The event had not officially started yet. Chen Guo was looking around excitedly, as if she wanted to find something.
After sitting like this for half an hour, the number of spectators gradually decreased, and the time for the official start of the event was getting closer and closer.
At eight o 'clock in the evening, the music that had been playing at the venue stopped abruptly. The venue suddenly fell into darkness like a movie theater. Without waiting for people to cry out in alarm, a beam of light suddenly shot up from the center of the competition field, straight to the top. And within the pillar of light, projections of Glory characters appeared. One by one, they spun, as if they were descending from the heavens onto the stage. Chen Guo was also very excited. She tugged at Ye Xiu and Tang Rou and pointed at the pillar of light to identify the characters.
Tang Rou would definitely not be able to recognize any of the characters, but Ye Xiu was much more familiar with them than Chen Guo. However, he did not say a word. He just smiled and listened to Chen Guo as she was pleasantly surprised every time she recognized one of the characters.
"One Leaf Of Autumn, that's One Leaf Of Autumn!! Look look look!! "
As Chen Guo shouted, One Leaf Of Autumn, carrying the jet-black Silver weapon Evil Annihilation, slowly descended from the pillar of light. This character, who had once looked down on the world, originally didn't have a life. But at this moment, it was as if it was a living being. Chen Guo shouted. Suddenly, she remembered the person behind this character who had already retired. Her voice suddenly stopped, and her expression became much gloomier.
However, it was only for an instant. The character that followed closely behind One Leaf Of Autumn quickly ignited Chen Guo's excitement. She instantly let out a shout, making Ye Xiu and Tang Rou want nothing more than to shut her mouth.
Dancing Rain!
The character that followed closely behind One Leaf Of Autumn was, of course, Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain. She carried her heavy cannon on her shoulder, and her long hair fluttered in the wind. She was clearly a gentle girl, yet she had chosen such a heavy firepower role. Ye Xiu couldn't help but smile when he thought about it.
"What are you smiling about?" Chen Guo glanced at this guy's strange smile. When she thought about how she had been too engrossed in her character, and how many of the surrounding audience members had turned to look at her in shock, she felt a bit embarrassed. When she saw Ye Xiu's smile again, she suddenly felt like he was mocking her.
"It's nothing, Dancing Rain! Good!! " Ye Xiu also roared. He clapped his hands a few times, helping Chen Guo draw away some of the aggro. Many people began to stop looking at Chen Guo and look at Ye Xiu instead.
"That's right, that's right! Coming to live is to immerse yourself in the atmosphere! " Chen Guo was very satisfied with Ye Xiu's performance. She didn't care whether or not she had gone overboard. She turned to Tang Rou: "Little Tang, what do you think?"
"I don't know. I don't know any of them … …" Tang Rou shrunk her neck. She was currently pretending that she didn't know the two beside her … …
"Come come come, let me introduce them to you." Chen Guo was very enthusiastic. She began to introduce the characters to Tang Rou. Chen Guo already knew who these 24 characters were. As long as she could see the classes of the characters, she could pretty much guess who they were. She pointed them out one by one. She didn't make a mistake.
Finally, the 23 characters finished walking. Just as it was about to reach the last character, the character's descent was a bit delayed. Through this small delay, it perfectly created a sense of anticipation. It was as if the 23 characters before were just small soldiers opening the path, while this character was the general that everyone was looking at.
This 24th character was naturally the result of Club Samsara taking advantage of the fact that they were the hosts. They intentionally placed the 24th character last to create this sense of anticipation. And this character was obviously Samsara's trump card, Zhou Zekai's character, the Sharpshooter known as the Great Gunner: Cloud Piercer.
Even though Chen Guo was a supporter of Excellent Era, she didn't have any bad feelings towards Zhou Zekai and his character. She also gave a small round of applause. However, as Samsara's home stadium, it was obvious which team had the most fans. Cloud Piercer's grand entrance caused the stadium to erupt with cheers and applause. Those who had previously looked down on Chen Guo and Ye Xiu no longer cared about their image. They were clearly Samsara's loyal fans.
Apart from the audience's reactions, there wasn't a single sound in the stadium. The opening of the show was carried out in complete silence. As Cloud Piercer landed on the ground, the pillar of light flashed, transforming into 24 pillars of light, illuminating the 24 All-Stars standing in the middle of the stage.
The audience's cheers became even louder. Then, the 24 characters that had been standing still and posing suddenly began to move.
Running, attacking, dodging, jumping …
The 24 characters moved as if they were alive, performing all sorts of basic actions that could only be performed in the game. The crowd let out cries of surprise. They had originally thought that these were just projections, but now it seemed that these were actually real people cosplaying?
And after each of them displayed their actions, suddenly, the pillars of light extinguished, plunging the stadium into darkness. The crowd's cries of surprise died down along with the darkness. Everyone held their breaths, waiting to see what would happen next.
Pillar of light … Another pillar of light shot out. A character appeared on the stage. This time, it was the first of the 24 characters to descend from the sky. Last year's champion, Micrograss's captain Wang Jiexi's Witch: Vaccaria.
The crowd was still wondering what this character was trying to do, when they saw Vaccaria ride his broom into the air. In the air, the character turned his head and swung his arm. The pillar of light followed. Everyone saw that it was a red potion flask. Those familiar with Witches instantly recognized this as a Witch skill: Lava Flask.
"Bang …"
In the deathly silent stadium, the sound of the Lava Flask shattering was exceptionally clear, just like in the game. Then, with a "boom", the Lava Flask shattered, and lava began to burn and roil on the stage.
Just as the crowd was dumbstruck, Vaccaria waved his hand again. A white mist-like object was tossed into the air, like white clouds. Then, blue raindrops began to fall. The audience immediately recognized that this was another of the Witch's skills: Acid Rain and Dry Ice.
Then, Vaccaria showed off a few more skills. The lighting effects were exactly the same as in the game. The audience, who had been staring blankly up until now, finally reacted. Before, they had suspected that the character was being cosplayed by a real person, but now, these special effects proved that this really was just holographic projection technology. In an instant, screams and applause once again filled the stadium. The pillar of light on Vaccaria's body faded, and he disappeared into the darkness. Soon after, a second character lit up. It was also a display of skills. The effects were exactly the same as in the game.
After each of the 24 characters had been displayed, the crowd was already waiting for the next scene.
That's right! Battle!
Before, it was just a personal display. If they used holographic projection technology to battle, what kind of scene would that be?
The organizers didn't disappoint the crowd at all. After this person's display, they immediately began to fight each other.
One on one, two on two … until it became a twelve on twelve battle royale!
On the stage, the skills of the various characters were mixed together. The Silver weapons in the hands of the various God-level characters were also dazzling.
What appeared in front of the audience was no longer what they could see in the game or in the broadcast. Each and every character seemed to be standing in front of them, alive and well. It was far more vivid than what they could see in the game. And in that chaotic battle royale, no one noticed the technical content behind it. They were only attracted by the beautiful effects of the battle. They hoped that it would never stop …
However, these 24 characters represented the 24 All Stars. In this opening show, it wasn't easy to show who won and who lost. After letting the audience enjoy the beautiful holographic projection effects, Samsara's ace character, Cloud Piercer, suddenly leapt into the air like a meteor. With a whoosh, he charged into the sky above the stadium. Then, as if chasing after him, the other characters all turned into meteors and chased after him. In the end, all 24 characters flew to the top of the stadium and exploded like fireworks. The audience wanted to reach out and touch them, but they finally confirmed that they weren't real.
Then, the stadium's lights suddenly lit up. The large screen in the sky was broadcasting the scene of the actual fireworks outside the stadium. The host's voice finally rang out: The annual All Star Weekend has officially begun!
