Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

Soon after Kiana openly bribed the fairy to get her bonus back, Airi turned the microphone to the last person.

"Mei, what are your team's goals for this competition?"

"Goal? That should be the championship."

Kiana's tantrum earlier indirectly eased Mei's nervousness, allowing her to easily answer Airi's question now.

"Wow, as expected of Mei, your powerful name suits you perfectly~"

After saying this sweetly, Airi turned to the audience and added, "By the way, let me introduce you all, Mei is the assistant general manager of Gensokyo Company~"

The audience erupted in a clamor, marveling at Mei's youth.

"So, players, remember this: if you upset her, she might just give you a physical ban!"

"I would never do that!!"

Mei was so angry she laughed and immediately retorted.

"You just say you can't do it, instead of saying you can't do it. Oh my, you really have immense power, Miss Mei."

Helpless against this mischievous fairy, Mei could only grit her teeth and follow Sirin to their seats in the group as she watched her run away quickly.

The stage is divided into two levels, with ten seats on each level. Each seat can accommodate three contestants, and the Xilin team naturally went to the outermost seat in the first row.

The first team had so much to do, and the audience was starting to look forward to the teams that followed.

Soon, famous singers and movie stars, as well as internet celebrities with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of followers on social media platforms, well-known directors, writers, voice actors, and even companies like Anti-Entropy, Destiny, and Divine City joined in the fun, each sending a team.

On Schicksal's side were Theresa, Cecilia, and Siegfried, with the two standing on either side of Cecilia, creating a rather strange atmosphere.

Kevin was the leader on Shencheng Technology's side. He was quite happy to finally have this paid opportunity to go out and have fun.

As for reverse entropy, that's absurd.

When the audience saw Walter, Tesla, and Einstein emerge from the selection process, they all widened their eyes in astonishment.

No, bro.jpg

Are you serious?

The leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, and one of Anti-Entropy's only two chief scientists.

For a moment, the audience thought they were dreaming.

Even after they finished their interviews and returned to their seats, the audience still seemed a little stunned, especially the employees who worked at Anti-Entropy. Seeing their leader happily come over to participate in the game, they had a feeling of unreality.

To be honest, Otto and Karen originally wanted to come, but because of what happened under the moon, some treatment plans needed to be adjusted, so they had to give up the opportunity.

This left Karen quite disappointed, and she complained to Yu, who might be her future son-in-law, on the phone for a long time.

The three top experts from Anti-Entropy took their seats at the nineteenth table, and soon it was the twentieth and last team's turn.

"Oh dear, who could be coming up after Mr. Walter? It's really hard to guess."

Hearing Ai Li's reading aloud, the audience laughed again. Soon, someone shouted, "Old thief Nangong!"

"That old scoundrel Nangong!"

"That old scoundrel Nangong!!"

The shouts instantly merged into one, and the entire audience, along with the players who hadn't won tickets and were watching from outside, began chanting the name of the creator of Gensokyo.

"Ahem, it seems everyone is quite clever. Without further ado, let's welcome our last team to the stage!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, even the background music for his entrance was changed. Amidst the most enthusiastic cheers from the audience that night, Nangong Yu was the first to walk out of the contestant tunnel with a smile.

Behind him, Bronya and Kaguya followed with smiles.

Player information is displayed on the large screen.

Team Name: Titanfall

Captain: Jack Cooper

Team member: Captain Rastimoza

Team member: Major Anderson

The unusual team name and the three players' IDs seemed to have a hidden meaning, but soon, the audience's attention was drawn to the man standing on the stage.

Good evening everyone!

Upon arriving on stage, Nangong Yu immediately took over, grabbing the microphone from Ai Li's hand and ignoring the host.

Waving to the audience, they unabashedly expressed their excitement.

What's so attractive about women? They're not even as good as that old scoundrel Nangong!

With a slight bow to the audience, Nangong Yu said with a smile, "I'm very happy that everyone likes the games we make, and I hope that these games can bring joy to everyone's lives."

"The fact that APEX achieved such good results this time was somewhat beyond my expectations. I'm not good at saying anything nice, so I'll just give everyone twenty boxes. You can claim them by logging into the game after the competition ends. Thank you again for your support of our Gensokyo game."

He knew perfectly well that saying a lot of thank yous was useless; it would be more practical to give everyone some benefits.

'I love you, you old scoundrel Nangong!!!'

"Sorry, I still prefer girls."

With a smile, Nangong Yu handed the microphone to Bronya and Kaguya.

As high-ranking executives of Gensokyo Company, the two are naturally familiar to the players.

Moreover, with her looks, figure, and abilities, countless people envy Nangong Yu, and there are frequent online criticisms and speculations about who the boss's wife might be.

Nangong Yu said that those who made the guesses were being a bit superficial. Why not choose to have them all?

After saying a few words of thanks, and following up on Nangong Yu's topic, he added ten more boxes to everyone's bonus, giving a total of forty boxes to all players.

This generous gesture immediately drew cheers from the players.

Soon, Nangong Yu, along with Bronya and Kaguya, took their seats, and all twenty teams, totaling sixty people, were present.

A staff member dragged a table and an opaque cardboard box up and placed them next to the host, Ellie.

"Hey, the microphone's finally back in my hands! The boss took it from me earlier, and Miss Fairy was so angry she couldn't say a word!"

To lighten the mood with a little joke, Ellie continued, "Alright, enough talk. I'm sure everyone is already familiar with the competition process. The game modes for the first three games will be determined by drawing lots in this opaque box. Take a look, everyone. I absolutely won't cheat, like deliberately choosing a game mode that's disadvantageous to the boss to make him look bad. I have absolutely no such intention!"

With a serious, tense expression, Ellie spoke with considerable certainty.

The director cleverly connected the large screen to the camera in Nangong Yu's seat, and the audience laughed when they saw his toothache-like expression.

Soon, Ellie reached into the box and pulled out a small piece of paper within seconds.

"Let me see... Storm Point - Karate Fighting?"

Immediately, Ellie's eyes lit up, and she chuckled as she held up the small piece of paper in her hand: "The event for the first match has been decided. It's an unarmed combat competition! The map is Storm Point. There will be no guns or bullet attachments spawning on the ground, only batteries, grenades, and syringes. Players will have a thrilling fighting competition. Miss Fairy is already looking forward to it!"

"Did Ellie really cheat?"

Upon hearing about unarmed combat, Nangong Yu frowned slightly.

This is definitely one of the worst ways to play the game for him.

"who knows?"

Bronya clenched her fingers and rotated her body as a warm-up.

"Just have fun."

Kaguya didn't think much of it at the time. As long as she could play with her husband, her focus wouldn't be on winning or losing.

"That's true, after all, it's just an exhibition match."

The game started quickly.

Bronya chose happiness and immediately locked in Power Boy; Nangong Yu chose Robot; Kaguya thought for a moment and finally picked Lifeline Support.

Since it's a boxing match, searching for points isn't very meaningful. As soon as the spaceship took off, Nangong Yu, as the captain, jumped out.

Noticing the colorful exhaust fumes following behind him, he gasped in shock: "So many people."

"Change locations?" Kaguya suggested.

"It would be too embarrassing to be a deserter in the first game," Nangong Yu muttered helplessly.

"Alright, that's enough, we're about to land and start fighting."

Bronya's voice had barely faded when nearly twenty people landed in the same spot.

The melee has begun.

They attacked each other like zombies, their eyes turning bloodshot in an instant, as if they wanted to punch even their own teammates.

Seeing this chaos, Nangong Yu tried joining the battle, but after ten seconds, he was so scared that he used his super hook to escape with only a thin layer of blood left.

"Bronya, Kaguya, let me finish this first..."

Holding the small battery, Nangong Yu's voice suddenly stopped.

He watched as the two people beside him had taken their hands off the keyboard, and their avatars in the lower left corner had turned green, and he fell silent.

"Cough cough, there were too many people, they got beaten to death by a flurry of punches."

"Me too, that's me."

Both of them were a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.

"..."

With a sigh, Nangong Yu quickly got into a car and drove away from this troublesome place.

"I'll go to the nearby resource point to find some grenades and medicine, and see if I can try to keep you alive."

He also kept the feature of having a support position that could create resurrection tokens. Driving, he quickly arrived at a few small houses nearby.

Noticing the supply capsules in the corner of the screen that had already been opened by others, Bronya immediately warned, "Someone must have been here. Be careful."

"Okay, I can hear the sound. I'll go take a look first. If all else fails, I can just run away. Robots can run away easily."

......

Meanwhile, Sirin called out to Kiana, and Mei hid inside the house with her.

"Kiana, Mei, listen to me. A lot of people jumped over there right now. There are definitely some low-health people escaping from there soon, and they might come here. Let's camp in this outermost house and wait for them to come. Let's give them a big surprise."

"Wonderful, Sirin, you're quite clever."
