After the announcement of the tournament, the place where An Manman was working at, the Shark Streaming Platform, became very busy.
Regarding the game Battle Online, the top management of Shark all looked forward to their project, which was why they prepared meticulously for this tournament. They rented the Dragon Metropolis Sports Center as the livestream venue and allowed the top emcee named Fang Ping to host the tournament.
Furthermore, they had even invited a professional band to produce a title song for the tournament as the opening show for The Hundred Fortresses Hegemony Tournament.
Before Lu Wu could start promoting, the Shark Streaming Platform had taken the initiative to painstakingly promote on various streaming platforms by using their own money.
Because of this, more players had noticed the game Battle Online and it had once again gained popularity with the number of players increasing in an astonishing manner.
All arrangements for the tournament had entered an intensive preparation stage.
During this period, An Manman called Lu Wu, bringing him another piece of good news.
Many gaming media channels had contacted the Shark Streaming Platform to get ready to report on this tournament.
Undoubtedly, Lu Wu was excited, because the wave of media attention would significantly increase players and welcome them earlier than expected.
The streaming of Platform173, the only platform that was available to download Battle Online, had also surged dramatically, exhilarating Wu Guoyi and made him want to ask Lu Wu out for a drink to celebrate again.
Despite that, Lu Wu declined. He was still a cat, so he counted alcohol out in order to prevent Wu Guoyi from freaking out.
But Lu Wu wasn’t resting either. Once again, he upgraded the Hundred Fortresses Map in the artifact to ensure that no errors would occur on the details of the tournament. He had also begun to set some easter eggs in the game together with Bei Li.
For instance, there was a little golden dragon in a fortress named Extreme City. The player who obtained and consumed the golden dragon would receive a buff with five minutes of doubled attributes.
Another example would be the Invincible Grass located at the borders of the Hundred Fortresses Town that would grant players ten seconds of invincibility. There were also many more hidden easter eggs included to make the tournament more fun.
Of course, the addition of these easter eggs demanded zero soul coins, because they were all done within the Artifact Channel.
Similar to how players could infinitely revive, because it all happened in the channel, there was no need to be concerned about soul damage, too. The only big expense by Lu Wu in this activity were the rewards for the winners at the end of the tournament.
What thrilled the players was the news that Lu Wu revealed on the official website.
The guild that takes over Beiqi Fortress in this activity will have their battle recorded into the Annals of Great Battles as a video clip.
This news had undoubtedly delighted the players who longed to be the first guild in this game to win such a notable tournament.
…
His Excellency Cangxu’s palace at the center of his large domain.
A white-haired but young looking man looked downward to the Ghost King and Ghost General worshipping him. He then let out a weak sigh and waved them away.
After his subordinates left, he pressed the golden scepter beside his throne. The throne slowly shifted its position and revealed a path beneath it.
Staring at this dark path, complex expressions clouded the face of His Excellency Cangxu.
He sighed once again before stepping onto the path.
Along with his appearance, the torches around were kindled, brightening the space below.
When he was a few hundred meters down, an empty cell appeared before him.
In the middle of this cell, there was a stunning woman in thin chiffon, and her four limbs were all chained up. She was held captive there.
Looking at the beauty, His Excellency Cangxu’s expression became complicated. There was agony, wrath, and remorse. All his feelings were tangled together, making His Excellency Cangxu seem exceptionally depressed.
Just then, the woman suddenly opened her eyes and stared at His Excellency Cangxu.
His Excellency Cangxu’s body gently trembled when the woman looked at him mockingly, “I’m ready to fight till death this time. If I succeed, I’ll let you out. We still have a great future awaiting.”
“Although you’ve been plotting for 10,000 years, you are no longer the Cangxu who became stronger just because it was his desire, so you are destined to fail. After all, this place was never one which you could sit in.”
The woman’s words made His Excellency Cangxu’s face gradually become ferocious, “You bitch, don’t you know how much effort I invested into this, and for whom I did all these for? You bitch! Bitch! Why must you degrade yourself like this! Are you treating me right this way!?”
The woman laughed like she was mocking herself as she looked at the furious His Excellency Cangxu, “If it wasn’t because of my sacrifice, you wouldn’t even be here, His Excellency Cangxu, let alone your position as the King of the Land of Cangxu!”
Upon hearing this, His Excellency Cangxu’s face was drained of all color. He recalled the day he became His Excellency Cangxu and what this woman in ruby makeup had said to him while crying, “If it wasn’t for my huge sacrifice, it would be impossible for you to become His Excellency Cangxu!”
Staring at the woman, His Excellency Cangxu’s heart felt a recurring pain.
Even though he was already the king controlling the Land of Cangxu of the underworld now, he was still a nobody amongst the cycle of reincarnation and could never detach himself to reach higher. He could not even protect his most beloved person.
After staring deeply into the woman’s eyes once again, His Excellency Cangxu turned around and left. But with every step he took, his body quivered a bit, as if he was tremendously tormented.
“I’ve been a shiv in other people’s hands for my whole life. This time, I want to be the one holding it! Even if it will break my bones and shatter my soul!”
After His Excellency Cangxu left, the woman finally let out her tears and mumbled quietly, “Detach? How hard could it be? If you fail, I’ll just follow you.”
Her enchanting eyes closed slowly. A tear escaped and ran down her cheek as it shone crystalline in the dark cell.
