It has been six days since the Global Professionals Tournament’s national challenge ended.
According to the announcement, tomorrow marks the official start of the World Finals!
As per the rules, the competition between veteran professionals will commence first tomorrow.
The events for the newly promoted professionals will begin after the veterans’ matches conclude.
Tianjing.
A breakfast shop.
Zhang Yue was having breakfast with Lin Tian, Tian Xin’er, and Chen Long.
Buye Hou and Spark were each holding a fried dough stick in their right hands and a phone in their left.
Meanwhile, the restaurant’s TV was broadcasting the news.
“Tomorrow at 10 a.m., the first phase of the World Finals will take place in the ‘Realm of Gods.’ According to the rules, the Realm of Gods has opened today, and participants from all countries must arrive there today to receive arrangements and spend the night!”
“It is reported that our country’s representatives: Moonmark, Ice Emperor, Seraph, and Seven Nights, have also gradually entered the Realm of Gods. We hope they perform better this year and bring glory and brilliance to our Dragon Kingdom!”
“The rules for the 100th World Finals remain the same as in previous years. The competition will be broadcast live globally throughout. Let’s wait and see…”
Such a significant event concerning national honor naturally garnered high attention from all sectors.
Inside the breakfast shop, many diners, both young and old, were discussing:
“Let’s hope this year we don’t get matched against the Beacon Country again. That Mythic Grade Professional, the Ghost Swordsman Alpha, is just too strong. Last year, our top three powerhouses, Moonmark, Ice Emperor, and Seraph, were all defeated by Alpha alone! It led to our Dragon Kingdom narrowly losing to the Beacon Country…”
“Japan is really arrogant! Just because they’re doing well, they dare to provoke our Dragon Kingdom! How dare they claim online that they’ll crush us in this year’s finals?”
“Let’s shut them up with our strength! To all our brothers who qualified, good luck! As a third-generation wealthy heir from Beihai, with a net worth of billions, I promise that if our Dragon Kingdom makes it to the top three this year, I’ll personally reward all participating heroes with a billion!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the breakfast shop turned to look at the buzz-cut young man who was speaking.
Even the busy breakfast shop owner was drawn to him.
“A billionaire heir from Beihai, coming to our commoner breakfast shop in Tianjing to eat pancakes and fried dough sticks? That’s rare!”
“I’ve loved fried dough sticks since I was a kid, is that a problem? I save and scrimp to donate my savings to the country to nurture our talents!”
With that, the buzz-cut young man, claiming to be a wealthy heir from Beihai, immediately used his phone to access the Dragon Kingdom Professionals Investment Platform and donated a billion to the Dragon Kingdom Professionals Cultivation Association in front of all the diners!
“Damn! Such generosity! Brother, I was narrow-minded! To apologize, I’ll treat you to three fried dough sticks!”
“I’ll take five!”
“No problem, hahaha!”
At this moment, Ouyang Ling’er, sitting at the table with Zhang Yue, looked at him and said, “Guild Leader, slow down! You’re going so fast, even the God of Akina Mountain can’t see your taillights!”
Buye Hou chimed in, “We just reached the Seventh World, Guild Leader, don’t tell us you’re already in the Ninth World?”
Zhang Yue took a bite of the fried dough stick and sipped some soy milk. “Not that fast.”
After a pause, Zhang Yue looked at Ouyang Ling’er and said, “Help me check on that Chen Jun.”
Ouyang Ling’er, her mouth full of soy milk, asked puzzledly, “Why check on him? He’s not even handsome~”
Lin Tian lightly tapped his glasses with his index finger. “Didn’t you say last time that his Binding God Technique was obtained from Japan?”
Ouyang Ling’er suddenly realized, “Oh right! This traitor colluded with Japan! Check, we must investigate thoroughly!”
With that, Ouyang Ling’er pulled out her laptop.
However, what she discovered was shocking!
“I hacked into the Chen’s Army system and found that during Chen Jun’s tenure, he had several trade collaborations with a family from Dragon City under the name of Chen’s Army!”
Hearing this, Chen Long, who was munching on a pancake, paused and said, “Really, doing this right in front of me, is that okay?”
Just then, Chen Long received a Feixin message from a guild member: “Guild Leader, something’s wrong, someone has hacked into our Chen’s Army system! The opponent is very skilled, seems to be well-prepared, even our top programmer’s CPU got fried!”
Chen Long looked at Ouyang Ling’er, who was operating the computer to hack the Chen’s Army system, and calmly replied, “Yeah, I know.”
“Guild Leader, why are you so calm?”
“Yeah, I’m saying… don’t worry, the hacker probably has no ill intentions and won’t cause any damage to our guild. Just carry on with your work.”
Just as Chen Long sent the message back, Ouyang Ling’er exclaimed with bright eyes, “Wow! The Chen’s Army guild fund is huge, can I steal some money?”
Pfft!
The soy milk Chen Long had just sipped sprayed out instantly.
“Big sister, don’t go too far, the Chen’s Army guild leader is right here!”
With Wu Haotian’s reminder, Ouyang Ling’er finally noticed Chen Long sitting at the same table, staring at her in disbelief.
She immediately flashed an awkward yet polite smile, “I’m just kidding!”
Clearing her throat, Ouyang Ling’er continued to browse the computer, saying, “Chen Jun’s Binding God Technique should also come from that guild in Dragon City!”
“Which guild?” Zhang Yue asked.
Ouyang Ling’er revealed a name that surprised everyone present: “Empire.”
“Isn’t that the guild governed by one of our Dragon Kingdom’s top three powerhouses, the Ice Emperor?”
Wu Haotian said incredulously, “If Chen Jun’s Binding God Technique came from the Empire Guild, and the Binding God Technique can only be produced in Japan, which they never sell externally, doesn’t that mean… the Empire Guild is involved with Japan?”
“Could the Ice Emperor be a traitor?” Buye Hou blurted out, drawing the attention of all the diners in the breakfast shop.
Buye Hou immediately shut his mouth.
At this moment, Li Yue firmly stated, “Impossible! Absolutely impossible! My Ice Emperor could never be a traitor. I’ve followed him for years, and in my impression, no one loves the country more than the Ice Emperor, except for the Xiu Luo God who sacrificed for the nation!”
“He would never betray our Dragon Kingdom!”
“Ice Emperor is not a traitor,” Overlord Blade said. “Just look at the review videos of past professionals tournaments. In recent years, whenever we faced Japan, the Ice Emperor was always the fiercest, known as the ‘Ghost Slayer.’”
“If anything, there must be a mole within the Empire Guild.”
Buye Hou suggested, “Let’s report this information directly to the national authorities and let them handle it!”
“We can’t do that,” Lin Tian calmly analyzed. “Without sufficient evidence, not only will no one believe us, but it will also alert the enemy.”
“Isn’t the Binding God Technique evidence?” One Night Stand said. “Ouyang Young Lady also found that Chen Jun’s Binding God Technique came from the Empire Guild, doesn’t that prove there’s a secret transaction between the Empire Guild and Japan?”
At this point, Ouyang Ling’er quietly said, “Well… I didn’t exactly find out that Chen Jun’s Binding God Technique was bought from the Empire Guild, it’s just my guess, though there’s an eighty percent chance~”
“In that case, let’s find evidence first.”
Zhang Yue said, “Let’s capture Chen Jun first.”
