[PS: A total of 166 readers left comments on the 1000 chapters. This number is still subtle. The author likes it very much, so according to the agreement of 10 reader IDs plus one chapter, the author will add 16 chapters.
However, considering that I can't let the efforts of those six readers go to waste, I'll just add 17 chapters. Because I don't have any drafts, these 17 chapters will be updated in the next ten days. Thank you for your support.]
After the Pokemon competition ended, it was already 8 pm. The first day of the competition was officially over. The tired Duan Xuan and Sabenin packed up their things and prepared to leave the venue.
However, they couldn't rest yet. They had to wrap up some work with the CCTV team. Therefore, they couldn't sleep until 11 pm.
The two of them slept until 8 o 'clock the next morning. There was only a little more than an hour before the competition started at 10 o' clock. The two of them quickly washed up. Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly saw the director of the film crew walking over in high spirits. His face was full of smiles!
"Director Xu, what are you so happy about?" Sabenin was more courageous, so he was the first to ask curiously.
"Good news! Good news! Our competition has a dozen more commercials! " Director Xu seemed to want to find someone to share this joy with, so he happily told the whole story.
It turned out that this morning, several television stations in the United States, Europe, and South Korea reported that they had a dozen more commercials for the competition. The cost was about 500,000 USD. This instantly made CCTV happy.
According to the agreement signed between CCTV and other broadcasting stations, the broadcasting rights were free. Therefore, as compensation, CCTV could get a share of all the advertising fees.
Therefore, half of the 500,000 USD worth of new TV commercials, which was 250,000 USD, would be given to Central TV. After Central TV had been cheated of more than 4 million USD, they suddenly realized that they had actually earned back 250,000 USD worth of capital.
Director Xu was also praised by the leaders and even promised a salary increase. Of course, Director Xu was very happy. After the entire CCTV team heard about the salary increase, they were all happy. Even Duan Xuan and Sabenin felt that they seemed to be more relaxed when they hosted.
"Director, why are there suddenly commercials? Didn't the TV station say that they couldn't find any advertisers?" Sabenin asked curiously.
"That's right. No one thought that the global ratings of this competition would be so good!" Director Xu couldn't help but sigh. "You guys don't know this, but yesterday's ratings have been calculated. The peak number of viewers in the United States reached 6 million, and in Europe, there were 4 million viewers. Do you know what this means? This is almost half of the NBA's viewers! "
"Those advertisers aren't fools. Seeing such a high viewership, they naturally came out one by one!" Director Xu sighed. "But it's a pity that these advertisers came a little too late. Our TV station still lost a few million USD. Otherwise, each of you would have a big red packet of thousands of RMB!"
"Okay, let's hurry up and go to the venue. The competition is starting the next day."
The next day's WCG started with a new competition: Yu-Gi-Oh.
The game used was newly released on Nintendo's CFC platform: Yu-Gi-Oh: Magic Stars. It was considered the second generation of Yu-Gi-Oh. There were no changes to the rules, but some new cards were added.
Yu-Gi-Oh: Magic Stars was probably the game with the strongest players in Hua Xia. It also had the highest number of participants and had the highest number of qualifiers.
After all, the animation of Yu-Gi-Oh had been broadcast in Hua Xia four years ago. Like Crispy Noodles, it was the Daqian's old capital in Hua Xia. It was also one of the games that Hua Xia players came into contact with the most.
Yu-Gi-Oh was different from other games. Other games couldn't be played without a computer or a console, but Yu-Gi-Oh was different. Yu-Gi-Oh was actually a card, and the console game was just an accessory. So, even without a computer or a console, children in Hua Xia could still play Yu-Gi-Oh. After all, they only needed to spend a few dozen RMB to buy the physical cards of Yu-Gi-Oh.
More importantly, before the WCG started, the Daqian had already organized a national competition for Yu-Gi-Oh. The audience base was very strong. About half of the children in Hua Xia had come into contact with Yu-Gi-Oh.
Once the base number increased, the number of experts would naturally increase as well.
So, when the Daqian organized the WCG qualifiers, the Daqian directly incorporated the national competition into the WCG qualifiers. Yu-Gi-Oh champions from all the provinces and cities in the country were given the right to enter the WCG competition.
At the same time, the Daqian gave emergency training to many players who had only played the physical card version of Yu-Gi-Oh. In the blink of an eye, Hua Xia gained hundreds of top experts in Yu-Gi-Oh. The number was even more than the confident Fusangpeople.
Although the Daqian version of Yu-Gi-Oh was also released worldwide, and the animation was also broadcast worldwide, Yu-Gi-Oh's audience was obviously not as strong as Pokemon. The global response was also average. So, this competition was basically a battle between the Fusang and Hua Xia.
In fact, when the Yu-Gi-Oh qualifiers were finished in the morning, the final eight were decided. Five of them were from Hua Xia, and three were from Fusangpeople. These two countries directly swept the top eight of Yu-Gi-Oh.
It couldn't be helped. The opponents were too weak. They didn't even have a single expert.
In the afternoon, it was time for the qualifiers for the Sword and Saber Divine Realm. The Sword and Saber Divine Realm on the console had two branches: RPG games and fighting games. However, as everyone knew, it was very difficult to compete in RPG games. So, the competition was naturally the fighting version of the Sword and Saber Divine Realm. Each player would control three different characters and engage in three horizontal fighting battles.
Anyway, in terms of games, it looked no different from the King of Fighters and Street Fighter.
And this was probably second only to the competition of Red Alert. After all, the whole process was a battle of fists and flesh. Every minute and every second tested the player's skills. When the Sword and Saber Divine Realm competition began, the number of viewers around the world began to rise. Finally, the top eight were decided. After the qualifiers ended, the number of viewers in the United States reached seven million, and five million in Europe. The company in charge of monitoring the ratings was shocked. How did this break the record of the highest number of viewers from yesterday?!

Little Bill was a loyal Pokemon fan. Take note, he was a fan, not a player. Little Bill's family didn't allow him to play games. He didn't even have an old GB computer.
Fortunately, his family didn't prohibit Little Bill from watching TV. So, Little Bill became a loyal fan of Pokemon through the Pokemon anime.
However, Little Bill was a little depressed. It was said that the Pokemon – Orange Islands anime would only be broadcasted globally on Children's Day, June 1st.
Little Bill could only flip through the TV helplessly. He let the TV stations quickly jump in front of him until he saw a TV station that he didn't usually watch. Familiar music sounded in his ears.
This was … the Pokemon Arena music!!!
