MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Chapter 1801 1801: The Perilous Sacred Mountain

As for Fearless, Wang Yu was also impressed. He managed to speak so grandly about gathering people for gambling, which was quite something.

However, Fearless wasn't wrong either; after all, everyone was playing with game currency, and ultimately, someone would profit from it. It's said that in gambling, nine out of ten lose. If someone else acts as the banker, even more people would get taken advantage of.

Wang Yu's character lies in his self-discipline. He never interferes with others' hobbies, and of course, he has no right to do so.

Now that everyone's emotions were stirred up, Wang Yu naturally wouldn't ruin their fun; as long as he didn't get involved, it was fine.

This world works like that; you can only hope others are kind, but you can't force them to be kind. Otherwise, what's the difference between that and being an internet Warrior?

...

"Oh dear, Fearless really knows how to avoid losses."

In the office of the Kyushu Team.

The players from Boundless Ocean observed the shifting sentiments on the forum, which had now turned into a large-scale betting event, leaving them feeling incredibly complex.

Damn it, initially, everyone was just boosting their reputations before the competition, which was mutually beneficial, but Fearless took advantage of this momentum to become the banker, making the Kyushu Team members utterly frustrated.

After all the effort they put into this, they were now being swallowed whole by someone else. The feelings of the Kyushu Team could only be described with a four-character idiom—"screwed over."

There was nothing they could do; this time, Boundless Ocean was the first to act, and Fearless had the upper hand. Now, no matter how Fearless played, the Kyushu Team could only suffer in silence.

...

With only three days left until the competition, the members of the Quan Zhen Sect stopped staying up all night. Seeing that the forum's sentiment had been completely swayed by Fearless, everyone logged off to rest and prepare.

As per tradition, on the day before the competition, participating teams needed to familiarize themselves with the venue. The next morning, the eighteen members of the Quan Zhen Sect gathered from all over the country to head to the competition venue.

Speaking of the Quan Zhen Sect, it must be said that they are definitely a unique presence in the gaming world.

Other teams that achieve good results in professional leagues will undoubtedly recruit heavily to expand their guilds.

However, after winning the professional league championship, the Quan Zhen Sect never had any intentions of recruiting; they remained at eighteen members, just as they always were.

The only difference was that one rich girl left, and another rich girl came in.

The S-Class International Professional League follows a regional competition system.

As the name suggests, each region competes first, and only the winners can advance to the next round.

It is well known that there are three major regions in the world server: Asia, America, and Europe.

The Brave Continent of the national server naturally belongs to the Asia region, which has three servers: the national server, the Japanese server, and the Korean server.

Thus, the first round of competition is a contest among six teams across three servers in the Asia region, and the competition venue was set in Kyoto, Japan.

This was not due to the organizers' inclination towards foreign cultures, but rather because the majority of Japanese players are engrossed in single-player games and niche titles like "Electric Car" and "Tailgating", making the popularity of <<Rebirth>> quite low in Japan.

To showcase the charm of <<Rebirth>> to a wider Japanese audience, the organizers specifically chose Japan as the venue.

Of course, before heading to Japan, both the members of the Quan Zhen Sect and the Kyushu Team had to gather in Lihai City before proceeding together.

Although Soaring Dragon Group is currently a sponsor of the Quan Zhen Sect, they only purchased the promotional contract, so the Kyushu Team's apparent sponsor remains the Wang family.

Now that the Quan Zhen Sect and the Kyushu Team have their own sponsors, things are naturally a bit more formal.

Other teams wear their uniforms when they go out, and the Quan Zhen Sect is no exception. Under the demands (and coercion) of Wang Yu and the others, this time everyone from the Quan Zhen Sect also donned the "Supreme of Martial Arts" outfit.

As soon as they got off the plane, the members of the Quan Zhen Sect attracted countless surprised glances.

Those who knew recognized them as a professional team, while those who didn't might have thought they were involved in performance art.

The Quan Zhen Sect members, despite their boldness, still had some limits. Being gawked at by so many people made Fearless and the others want to find a hole to hide in. Even Evil Rampage was prepared, donning sunglasses and a mask.

Only Wang Yu faced the crowd's gaze with immense satisfaction.

There was no helping it; martial arts had once experienced glory, only to be tarnished by a group of frauds and ultimately vanished from the annals of history. At this moment, being the center of attention brought Wang Yu considerable joy as a martial arts master of his generation.

...

"What are you guys doing?"

After the Quan Zhen Sect gathered, the Kyushu Team members met up with them at the airport. Seeing the Quan Zhen Sect's attire, the Kyushu Team members were all speechless, with the character Sacred Mountain sneering in disdain, "We're representing the country now; don't embarrass yourselves when you step out. Even grassroots players wouldn't be this ridiculous."

"Yeah, yeah",

Jiu Tian Shen Jian chimed in, unable to hold back, "Either don't wear uniforms or wear them properly. Dressing like this, what does it even mean?"

The members of the Quan Zhen Sect also had their complaints about the flashy uniforms. Although they were ridiculed, they didn't know how to retort, so they simply pretended not to hear and chatted among themselves. However, Wang Yu was not pleased.

"What do you know?"

Wang Yu said discontentedly, "Chinese martial arts have a long history. At one time, it was our national essence and a symbol. It's just that frauds have tarnished the reputation of martial arts, leading to its current state. This time, we're not just competing for good results; the most important thing is to let the world recognize Chinese martial arts again!"

"Does it need to be this flashy?" Sacred Mountain retorted, "Dressed like this, you think you're the Supreme of Martial Arts? I think you can only show off in the game; your martial arts aren't that impressive."

"Hmm…"

As soon as Sacred Mountain spoke, the Quan Zhen members who had been chatting fell silent, their eyes all fixed on him, as if they were looking at a dead man.

He was still young and hadn't seen much of the world to dare speak like that in front of this esteemed master…

Hearing Sacred Mountain's words, Wang Yu didn't get angry but calmly stared at him, "Are you not convinced?"

"I'm not convinced, so what? Why don't you use your martial arts to hit me?"

Sacred Mountain was also vexed with the Quan Zhen Sect. As a top-tier team, losing to this ragtag group last time left him with resentment. Being played by Fearless this time only deepened his animosity, and he had come this time intending to give the Quan Zhen Sect a piece of his mind.
