The full-time master's double peak

Chapter 113 [119] All-Star Weekend (Part Two)

The following Friday, none of the four went out. They didn't need to worry about food; staff would come with food carts around lunchtime to ask if they wanted to eat. After lunch, the four went to the hotel's e-sports area. With the popularity of Honor of Kings, e-sports areas are found in various places these days. Although there were computers in the room, the four had to split up, so they went to the e-sports area.

The four of them went to a private room and started playing. Lin Xichen handed Tang Rou a level 70 Battle Mage account and told her to go to the Arena of God's Domain to play with Chen Guo and familiarize herself with high-level skills. Tang Rou didn't know any skills above level 40. Now that all three of them had reached level 40, Tang Rou could learn new skills, but Ye Xiu and Lin Xichen, who were unaffiliated, could not.

The number of players in the game decreased due to the All-Star Weekend. Of course, there were still some players who were unaffected. Professional players from clubs and guilds would not be online to watch the All-Star Weekend. These professional players are hired by clubs to farm materials for the clubs and gain in-game fame. Therefore, these players are online all day, or even 24 hours a day in shifts.

For example, Lanhe, Cheqianzi, and Yedu Hantan are players of this type. They are professional players hired by clubs and make a living by playing games. Of course, it is also because of their love for the game. You know, many people's passion will gradually run out after turning entertainment into a profession. That's because entertainment is about playing whenever you want, while a profession is about playing even when you don't want to. In this situation, most players will run out of passion. If it weren't for their love for the game, they wouldn't be able to persist for so long.

Tang Rou fought Chen Guo in the arena, but she lost more often than she won. This was because she didn't use her high-level skills at the right time or because she was unfamiliar with them and used them inaccurately. Gradually, Tang Rou became more and more skilled. She recalled the detailed strategy that Lin Xichen had given her, and her skills became more and more proficient. Until finally, Chen Guo started to lose more and more... and could hardly win.

Putting aside the skill level, the equipment difference is too great. Lin Xichen gave Tang Rou's account to be fully equipped with orange gear, and the spear in her hand is a top-tier orange weapon that professional players would choose.

Moon Chasing Spear

Level: 70
Weight: 6.3 kg
Physical attack: 780, Magical attack: 845
Strength +7, Spirit +9
Additional attribute 1: Physical attack, magical attack, and strength increase with the number of combos, and parrying is also calculated based on the number of combos.

Additional Attribute 2: Fighter's Will reduces the number of combos; only 110 combos are needed for Tier 7.

This is the only weapon in the entire Glory game with two additional attributes, and both of them are top-tier, even better than the attributes of silver weapons. Many professional players in the current professional league are using this weapon. This weapon has been available since the first server and is still not outdated.

They spent the night in the e-sports area, only leaving the hotel in the evening after tidying up. The Honor All-Star Weekend event was about to begin, and it was only because Lin Xichen noticed the time that the four of them were sure to be late. Although VIP tickets did not have entry time restrictions and could be used at any time during the event, they still did not want to miss it.

The All-Star Weekend is held every year on the third weekend, with a different club hosting each year. This year, it's Club Reincarnation's turn. The All-Star Weekend is like a carnival, featuring many entertaining Glory-themed events. The 24 All-Star players are selected by fan vote, representing the 24 most popular professional players. The All-Star Weekend was first held in the third season of the professional league, and this is its sixth time being held in the eighth season.

Ye Xiu knew the route and led the way. The four showed their tickets and entered the venue. Esports is now recognized as a sport, and the venues are no smaller than those for other sports. However, esports venues have more electronic broadcast screens. Those who are not present can only watch through the director's camera, while the audience present can see the main perspective of each player in the match. Moreover, each viewpoint is displayed on a separate screen, which is the biggest difference between watching on TV and watching live.

The All-Star Weekend was a lively affair. As the organizer, Club Samsara, after fulfilling some of the league's requirements, naturally prioritized promoting their own players. Each audience member received a brochure upon entry, with a brief introduction to each player's character on each page. It started with the player's well-known basic information such as name, age, and height, followed by a photo, a brief introduction below, and finally a hand-drawn illustration of the player's character.

Chen Guo couldn't wait to turn to Su Mucheng's page. The next page was originally supposed to be Ye Qiu's, but due to his retirement, he was replaced by Sun Xiang. The character was still hand-drawn by Yi Ye Zhi Qiu, but the character name had been changed to Fei Long Zai Tian. As long as no one retires or no new players are added, the 24 All-Star players are almost never changed. Longtime fans can recite them by heart.

The four found their seats and sat down. The VIP seats were in rows 45. The first three rows were reserved for professional players from various clubs. The third row was usually empty and blocked by a fence, of course, to prevent enthusiastic fans from launching a sudden attack on the professional players.

The four of them were seated in row 5 of section C, numbers 20-23, which were in the center. At 8:00 PM sharp, the Glory theme song started playing and then suddenly stopped. At the same time, the venue lights dimmed. Immediately afterwards, a beam of light shone down. Of course, this wasn't a satellite beam, but a character projection descending from the sky. Since Samsara was the host, the first character was undoubtedly the one played by Samsara's star player, Zhou Zekai: One Shot Through the Clouds, wielding two revolvers, Wildfire and Frostshatter, as it descended from the sky.

None of the four paid attention to this. Chen Guo wasn't a supporter of Zhou Zekai, Ye Xiu and Lin Xichen were calm, and Tang Rou didn't recognize her at all. Then a character appeared: a woman with long, flowing orange hair, carrying a sun-swallowing banner, wearing yellow and white clothes and glasses. Chen Guo was excited. It was Mu Yu Cheng Feng, the character controlled by Su Mu Cheng. As the projection fell, her long hair danced wildly. Despite being a rather mild-mannered girl, her character exuded domineering power, as if she were about to unleash a devastating attack, looking even more imposing than the lone smoke rising from the desert.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Guo asked, noticing Ye Xiu's smile.

"Nothing, Mu Yu Cheng Feng!!! Good!!!" Ye Xiu suddenly shouted, leaving Lin Xichen, who was looking at her phone, speechless. Ye Xiu's shout attracted more hatred than Chen Guo's, and some audience members in the back seats glared at him.

“That’s right, that’s the atmosphere we need for the event, what do you think, Xiao Tang?” Chen Guo said as she sat down.

"I don't know, I don't recognize them at all." Tang Rou shrank her neck and leaned closer to Lin Xichen, as if she wanted to hide in her arms, trying her best to pretend that she didn't know the two of them.
