The outside world was just watching the show. Even though Drinking Alone had confirmed the news, the faces of the Grand Hegemony players didn't look too good.
Grand Hegemony didn't choose experts from the mercenaries to participate in the competition. Instead, they poached two second-rate players from other clubs and invited two retired professional players to join them. They had both experience and skill.
"The first match will be our Thief. Teacher Proud Lonely Snow, I'm counting on you." Their new captain was Dancing Star Dream, the only star player in Grand Hegemony. He used to play for the Gangnam Royals, but after the collapse of the Gangnam Royals, the three star players all left. Innocent Child chose Ruling Sword, while Dancing Star Dream chose Grand Hegemony, which was more suitable for him.
"Don't worry, I'll try my best," Proud Lonely Snow said.
Ten years ago, this name was quite influential. He used to be the main player of Seventh Heaven, Majin Temple and other clubs. About two years ago, he announced his retirement from the professional scene. After Dawn appeared, the retirement age of professional players was greatly changed. He accepted Grand Hegemony's invitation to compete again.
"Teacher Proud Snow Lone Pine, please advise me." After Fat Monkey stepped onto the stage, he solemnly bowed towards Grand Hegemony.
This was awkward. He bowed out of respect for his seniors, so it wouldn't be right if he didn't return the bow. Proud Lonely Snow's Thief class had to reveal himself again and return the bow. Only then did the match officially begin.
Lu Li discovered that Fei Houzi was simply an actor.
If it was him, it wouldn't have been natural for him to reveal a flaw. However, Fat Monkey perfectly acted out the restraint and nervousness of a rookie facing off against a professional senior. He moved his position from time to time and even cast skills at some inexplicable places.
The audience was extremely nervous because of his performance.
After acting for a while, Proud Lonely Snow finally made his move against Fei Houzi. Fei Houzi took the initiative to approach him and even pointed his butt at him. If he didn't make his move, he would be punished by the heavens.
Everything went according to plan.
Proud Lonely Snow successfully made the first move and began to attack Fei Houzi. Although Fei Houzi struggled, he was held down by Proud Lonely Snow.
However, it was not as if there were no accidents.
Whether it was Grand Hegemony or Ruling Sword, they had both greatly underestimated Proud Lonely Snow. In a situation where he had the upper hand, it was impossible for Fat Monkey to retain a third of his HP. In fact, it was almost impossible.
Fei Houzi fell!
Lu Li stood up from his seat.
This Thief was so strong. Did Grand Hegemony really need Ruling Sword to give them three points?
In reality, Proud Snow Lone Pine himself was in slight disbelief. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to try his best, and try his best.
God has given me another chance. Why can't I work harder?
He once had a glorious time, but with the decline of age and physical strength, he went downhill. In the end, he quietly retired from the gaming scene that he had fought for ten years.
The dream of ten years had finally withered away!
Although he had gradually found the feeling, he still felt like he was being held down by something.
When he was told that Fei Houzi was going to throw the game, he looked at Fei Houzi's young and passionate face and saw Fei Houzi bow to him. He almost cried out on the stage.
I, Proud Lonely Snow, don't need to give way!
After defeating Fat Monkey, even though it was a pyrrhic victory, Proud Lonely Snow felt as if everything in front of him had suddenly become clear. The shackles around his neck had been torn apart.
Lu Li sighed in his heart and began to applaud with the crowd.
The commentators, the audience and the players from both sides were applauding. The fans of Proud Lonely Snow were crying. The Proud Lonely Snow that they had loved for so many years was back.
"Monkey, your acting is so good!" Kitty Likes Meat exclaimed in admiration.
Fei Houzi opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to reply. He was still a little confused. In fact, he had only been acting at the beginning. After being controlled, he found that everything was out of his control. In the end, he used all his strength, but in the end, he still couldn't escape the fate of being eliminated.
"Kitty, give it a try," Lu Li said.
They didn't need to give way anymore. At least in the group arena, Grand Hegemony would be able to get two points.
Kitty Likes Meat also bowed to Proud Lonely Snow.
Fei Houzi and Kitty Likes Meat were both very popular rookie players. Last year, they and Sanyue Yu had swept the rookies of all the major competitions. The two of them bowed to Proud Lonely Snow, but their bows had different meanings.
Part of Fei Houzi's respect was for Proud Lonely Snow's experience, and the other part was for acting.
Kitty Likes Meat's respect was for Proud Lonely Snow's experience and strength. Her performance was much better than Fei Houzi's. The newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger, and there was nothing to be nervous about against a Thief with low HP.
In the end, Proud Lonely Snow walked off the stage. He had successfully taken away half of Kitty Likes Meat's HP, which once again shocked the audience.
The rest of the group arena was quite boring. Today, all of the glory had been taken away by Proud Lonely Snow. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Grand Hegemony had gotten lucky. How could an old veteran player be revived like a withered tree?
Grand Hegemony successfully took two kills in the group arena. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to put on a show. Did they really think that the audience was stupid?
The group arena was even easier. Ruling Sword seemed to be determined to kill Proud Lonely Snow, and didn't even care about their other members. Although they succeeded in killing Proud Lonely Snow, Kitty Likes Meat was also targeted and eliminated.
Ruling Sword and Grand Hegemony both made it into the top 100.
The audience didn't want to see enough of it. They were very satisfied with the match and couldn't see any signs of acting. Only a small number of people were sighing at Fei Houzi's carelessness. Fei Houzi was thought to be the next Mage God after Xiao Mo, but it turned out that he could also make mistakes.
One of the consequences of this match was that the veteran players were once again praised.
Dawnlight had extended the retirement age of the players. Could the retired players who were still within the age limit come back? These players had a wealth of battle experience, and most of them had retired from the professional circle. They couldn't help but play the game, and some of them were still doing well in the arena.
Lu Li asked Cat Dad to try and contact some people. Even if they couldn't play in the competition, they could still come and coach the new players.
