Chapter 401: Questioning Their Right to Take Part in the Tournament
After the reality show, Jian Yumin went back to watch the replay of the live broadcast. He discovered that his sisters face had turned red when he was hugging her.
And thus, Jian Yumin immediately took a screenshot of the image. He used the screenshot as his screensaver and background for his desktop.
When Jian Yujie discovered this, he wanted to fight his brother. However, he knew that he couldnt win a fight against his brother Due to this reason, he could only merely think about such a thought.
His brother was evil! He had tricked Yiling into accompanying him in the reality show! He even had to rely on Yilings intelligence to win! He had Yiling to himself for an entire two days!
How despicable!
How shameless!
Sly bastard!
Jian Yujie was incredibly jealous. He vowed that he would record the happy moments he had with Yiling. When he got back home, he would play those moments on repeat to Jian Yumin! He wanted to make Jian Yumin incredibly jealous!
At the hotel, everyone checked in.
The other contestants were given a standard room. However, Zhai Yunshengs team had been given the presidential suite.
The room was equipped with high-performance gaming computers. This was so that they could play games and practice in the hotel.
Yu Xi had also prepared a team uniform for the group.
Yu Xi waited for his teammates to put on the clothes that he prepared. However
Zhai Yunsheng had a disgusted expression on his face;
And Jian Yujie had an expression of dislike on his face;
On the other hand, Jian Yiling didnt say anything. However, she didnt take the clothes from his hands. She used her actions to utterly reject him.
Yu Xi was heartbroken. He begged and pleaded with the three of them for ages. Eventually, they all nodded their heads in agreement.
In the evening, the four of them headed to the competition venue. They wanted to become familiar with the venue.
After this, their photos were somehow posted onto the Internet.
Soon after, they received a lot of bad press and negative publicity.
[A rich mans game: Team bought by the children of a rich family. The competitive spirit of eSports has been obliterated.]
The person who wrote the article had attached a photo of Jian Yiling and her team.
However, the photo only showed Jian Yiling, Jian Yujie, and Yu Xi. Zhai Yunsheng was not in the photo.
Out of the three of them, Jian Yilings face attracted the most attention.
The person who wrote the article had said that the children of the Jian family had paid for a place in the team. They replaced the four players who had originally qualified for the offline tournament.
They sarcastically wrote that money could achieve everything.
As the game was incredibly popular on the Internet right now, the news immediately sparked a lot of debate among the player base.
Everyone was talking about this.
[This competition was open to everyone. Everyone has worked hard to get to where they are right now! You cant just pay someone to replace their team!]
[During the online tournament, I worked with my teammates to desperately fight for a spot in the offline tournament. We fought for months! However, even though we lost in the end, we knew that it was because we were not as skilled as the other team. We were able to accept that! Now youre telling us that we can play in the offline tournament as long as we have money?!]
[What are they even thinking? Can the little girl in the photo even play Zerg Invasion?! Shes going to get played by the game!]
[What the hell is this? There are only three domestic teams in the offline tournament! If those rich children bought their spot, doesnt that mean my chances of seeing a domestic team in the final is even slimmer than before?]
[Shouldnt the officials do something about this? We were looking forward to watching this offline tournament. We want to see the skills of the players. Were not interested in the rich people showing off their wealth.]
[I thought this was meant to be a competition of skill. But it turns out that this is a game that relies on money as well.]
Most of the player base of Zerg Invasion was furious.
The main point of their anger was that a group of rich and spoiled kids with no gaming skills had ruined the competitive spirit in the eSports that they loved.
