Chapter 309 - 309 308 Really No Place to Cry
?Chapter 309: Chapter 308: Really No Place to Cry Chapter 309: Chapter 308: Really No Place to Cry The official side at home had also sent congratulatory messages, clearly very satisfied with the outcome of this eSports competition.
While the officials and audiences on the Huaxia side were happy and satisfied, those from other countries’ upper echelons and audiences were not.
The officials had a round of harsh words for the participating teams internally.
The audience was more direct.
Even though the live broadcast had ended, they could still leave comments.
As a result, each small broadcast window was filled with comments trashing their national teams.
On the other hand, inside Apocalypse City.
After the organizers announced the end of the competition, the live broadcast also shut down.
Luo Ning and the others stood in Apocalypse City, and soon several buses arrived.
They were also carrying teams from other countries.
At this moment, their faces looked sour, and many teams’ glances towards Luo Ning and her companions were full of hostility and anger.
Especially the teams that were ranked among the top six globally—they looked at Luo Ning with eyes sharp as knives.
If it weren’t for this woman, how could they have been so embarrassingly eliminated?
They had been strong competitors for the final championship, but now, not only had they lost, but they had also been eliminated early. They would definitely be scolded like dogs when they returned to their countries.
Luo Ning didn’t care about their knife-like stares at all and even swept a glare back at them.
“What are you looking at? Can’t a bunch of men like you accept a loss?”
The captain of the first team forced a smile and rolled down the window, looking at Luo Ning, “If you’re capable, have a fair fight with us. What does this kind of win count for?”
“We have a saying in Huaxia, ‘all’s fair in war’. This was a strategy, and we won fair and square, without seeing any problem.”
“You don’t need to make excuses for your own loss, it’s meaningless.”
Luo Ning looked back at him with a mocking smile and counter-asked, “Besides, given the situation at the time, if it had been your team, would you choose to dawdle with other teams?”
“If you really made that choice, then it can only mean you’re utterly foolish.”
The captain of the first team choked, “I don’t want to talk to you.”
He had previously experienced this woman’s sharp tongue; saying more would only upset himself.
Moreover, if they had been in Luo Ning’s place, he would indeed have made the same choice.
Now, it was just a matter of not admitting defeat because of such embarrassing elimination. Everyone was just holding back their anger.
But what could they do about not admitting defeat? They had indeed lost.
It was just their bad luck to encounter Luo Ning, who always played unpredictably. Otherwise, the Huaxia Team would definitely have been eliminated or suppressed by them.
It was such a grief with nowhere to vent. Anyway, they would remember Luo Ning.
On the foremost bus, a person from the organizing side waved at Luo Ning and her team, “Members of the Huaxia Team, please get on the bus.”
The door of the bus opened, and Luo Ning and her team boarded.
Fan Ye asked, “Where are we going?”
The person form the organizing side replied, “The construction team of Apocalypse City wants to meet you guys and present an award to your team.”
“We like this arrangement.” Fan Ye and the others were a bit excited.
Their initial goal in joining this final competition was to break into the top five and aim for the top three.
While they had also considered becoming champions, they hadn’t really held much hope for it, especially after that team member voluntarily dropped out.
Who would have thought Luo Ning would carry them so far and give them such a big surprise?
Jin Feiyang looked out at the streetscape with sentiment, “You really do have money, just for this eSports competition, to build an actual apocalypse city on the whole island.”
They had passed by many of these places earlier.
No wonder they felt so real during the competition.
Luo Ning said with a smile, “Building such a city with such a huge investment surely wasn’t just for hosting this competition.”
“If I’m not mistaken, the organizers will probably turn this place into a game experience city in the future.”
“Set up scenarios and invite players from all over the world to come, to experience the thrill of both the real and the virtual worlds.”
“The eSports competition we participated in, I think is more like an official advertisement.”
The person from the organizing side clapped, “Miss Luo is really smart. Indeed, our plan is to promote it in that way.”
It was unexpected that Luo Ning had directly seen through their intentions; her intelligence was indeed high.
“This eSports competition broadcast was very successful and complete. Your Huaxia Team played an undeniable role, great job!”
His praise was sincere.
Their purpose in organizing the eSports live broadcast was just as Luo Ning had said, not only to publicize 6D virtual technology but also to promote the city.
They had invested ten billion to build such a city. If it were just for the 6D technology promotion and competition broadcast, that would be a huge loss.
He believed that after this eSports live broadcast, many players worldwide would queue up to book and experience Apocalypse City.
Luo Ning joked, looking to the side, “You should pay us for advertising. Beyond promoting Apocalypse City, we also advertised your helicopters.”
The person from the organizing side laughed, “That, I really cannot decide.”
He added, “When you meet a few big shots from our side later, you can bring it up and give it a try.”
Fan Ye and the others laughed and said, “We can do that!”
Twenty minutes later, everyone got off the bus and followed the person from the organizing side into the building, going directly to the top floor.
At this moment, about a dozen people were seated on the top floor, sitting in a row, with three in the center.
The middle-aged man in the center was Mr. Zuo, the president of the company and chief of the technical team.
The young man on his left was Mr. Yi, whom Luo Ning recognized, the major shareholder and technical adviser.
The woman sitting on the right, about forty years old, was Mr. Yu, a major shareholder and marketing director.
The person who had led everyone in introduced them with a smile.
The others were members of the technical team and were briefly introduced as well.
The people from a hundred and twenty teams greeted the big shots of the organizing side.
President Zuo looked at everyone and smiled, “Nearly a month of hard work, well done, everyone!”
“Although there is only one champion, the prize money set for the top ten will still be distributed as planned, just that the publicly announced rankings will be gone.”
“The second to the tenth place, we will determine your rankings based on the system’s assessment of each team’s performance over the month, and distribute the funds according to the original plan.”
Everyone was concerned about this matter.
Hearing President Zuo get straight to the point about the prize money, those who had lost and been ranked at the top globally felt some comfort and anticipation.
Soon, the system’s listing was compiled; after no objections, the prize money distribution began.
Mr. Yu, the female marketing director, awarded the prize money to the teams from second to tenth place.
Then President Zuo personally presented the Huaxia Team with the champion’s trophy, crafted from pure gold, and the ten million prize money.
As the trophy and prize money were awarded, the live broadcast started again.
Once more, the domestic audience became excited, continuously flooding the chat, while the foreign audience could only watch enviously, jealously, and frustratingly.
