You promised it would be a free game, but now your screen is full of in-app purchase prompts?

"Holy crap! That's some serious damage!!!"

After being beaten up completely, Bao Ge finally realized what was happening.

He hurriedly and hastily consumed a Remi's HP potion, restoring his health to more than half.

The unlucky little sword spirit inexplicably followed behind, and then inexplicably got instantly killed.

However, just as the viewers have said before.

The elite monsters in this room are nothing special except for having over two hundred health bars and slightly higher attack power; just attack them directly.

The only slightly difficult part is that this monster can activate super armor.

When performing combos, it's often impossible to launch them into the air, and you can easily get countered with a full combo.

Because he was unfamiliar with the monster's skills, Bao Ge suffered many losses.

However, relying on his terrifying +14 defense across his entire body, combined with the output of the Mindbreaker Blade, he managed to kill the thing without much effort.

After defeating this elite monster, another piece of otherworldly equipment dropped in front of Bao Ge.

【The Otherworldly Necklace of Might - Berserker (Mountain Crash)】

Upon seeing the equipment, Bao Ge picked it up.

However, after seeing the attributes, Bao Ge was somewhat disappointed.

Compared to the previous piece of Time-Space equipment that boosted Rage Burst, this one is really meaningless no matter how you combine it.

Increases the attack power of Mountain Crash by 5%.

Even if you manage to collect a complete set of this type, it's just an enhanced version of the Mountain Crash attack; there's nothing special about it.

……

the other side.

While Bao Ge was still struggling to experience the brand-new otherworld map.

Qiu Dongsheng is still fighting in the PK arena.

He wasn't interested in the game's dungeon crawling mode; he only liked PvP (player versus player) combat.

If it weren't for the fact that equipment attributes matter in PvP, he wouldn't even bother with acquiring such equipment.

He is now at the Supreme 10 rank, and his MMR has even reached over 2,000.

This score currently places you in the top ten in the overall rankings of the Chinese server.

Those with similar scores to him are all top-tier players.

"Brothers! Let's take it!"

Both were top-tier players at the Supreme 10 level, but the opponent's heavy gunner didn't even manage to touch him before being killed instantly.

This also proves that there is a significant skill gap between players at the Supreme 10 rank.

Seeing this, the fans in the live stream were also quite excited.

[Awesome!]

[The opposing Wang Daqiang is also a streamer, and you completely crushed him, holy crap!]

[The difference is huge! No wonder he's a top-tier technical streamer!]

[Awesome!]

……

Words like "awesome" filled the screen.

He killed a streamer who was at full health and had a ranked 10 MMR, which once again demonstrated his strength.

Qiu Dongsheng has grown from a small streamer with only a few dozen fans to a big streamer with hundreds of thousands of fans.

Every time he goes live, the number of viewers in the live stream is usually over five thousand, and the growth rate is very obvious.

This change is partly due to his exceptional skills; he is a top-tier player.

On the other hand, because he had a car accident with Brother Bao before, he became famous very early on when he first entered the industry.

It's worth noting that just that one time, Qiu Dongsheng gained over 20,000 followers.

It's clear that Brother Bao is quite authoritative in this circle.

As a young man who had just entered university at the age of nineteen, Qiu Dongsheng's early fame led him to be quite proud, even to the point of arrogance.

It gives one the feeling that they are the only hero in the world.

After the match, the fans were excited, but he seemed unusually calm, even a little bored.

"Sigh, I've basically beaten all the top players from other regions."

"Currently, apart from Li Yong of Blue Fist who can fight me to a standstill, the rest are no match for me."

"I've heard that the Blacklight Sword Saint, Xiaoxiao, is very powerful. If I had the chance, I'd really like to try my luck against him."

As he said this, Qiu Dongsheng's eyes were full of anticipation.

He genuinely wanted to compete with other top experts.

He already felt that playing against just a few people from his own region wasn't very challenging anymore.

Li Yong and his livestreaming schedules are different, which makes it very rare for them to meet.

Then this feeling of loneliness and invincibility in the world becomes even stronger.

However, at that moment, someone suddenly started spamming the comments section.

[Old Qiu! Your chance has come!]

[Hahaha! Look at the official Dungeon Fighter Online account! They just released a brand new announcement!]

Dungeon Fighter Online is going to hold a nationwide competitive tournament!

What?! Open tournaments for games? I can't believe Fengyun even thought of that!

[In the past, many people viewed games as something unproductive, something for troubled teenagers to mess around with. They looked down on it. Fengyun is really daring! They actually dared to go against these people and hold a game competition.]

[What kind of game competition? I just watched it! They call it esports!]

[Esports? What a fitting name!]

Holy crap! If this competition could actually be held, it would be incredibly interesting!

This is going to be a milestone in gaming history!

Has any other game ever held an official, formal tournament before?

It seems there aren't any.

[Haha! Esports? That sounds pretty professional, like the events in the Olympics!]

[What nonsense are you talking about? It's just a game competition; how can you try to piggyback on traditional sports?]

[You know what, given the current popularity of Dungeon Fighter Online, if they were to actually hold a competition, the viewership would be no less than that of traditional sports!]

……

Clearly, this announcement was just released.

Previously, among the thousands of fans in the live stream, not a single one mentioned this issue.

But once the first person spoke up, everyone quickly started discussing the topic.

Realizing what had happened, Qiu Dongsheng opened the official website of Dungeon & Fighter with great anticipation.

Sure enough, the most prominent spot on the official website was a post titled "Dungeon & Fighter First Fighting King Tournament".

To highlight the importance of this competition, Fengyun Games even moved the game's version update announcement to the bottom of the page.

"The first-ever King of Fighters Tournament!"

"Interesting! So interesting!"

"I wonder if Li Yong and Xiaoxiao will participate?"

At this moment, Qiu Dongsheng's voice trembled slightly; he was truly excited.

After taking a deep breath, he clicked on the announcement.

[The First Dungeon & Fighter Fighting King Tournament!]

[This is the first season of the Fighting King Tournament!]

【Fellow warriors, in order to make competitive gaming a more international and meaningful product of the new era, we will uphold the Olympic spirit and hold the first Dungeon & Fighter Fighting King Tournament.】

[Collectively referred to as the Fighting King Tournament Season 1.]

The core principles of this competition are openness, fairness, and impartiality! We aim to spread the spirit of sportsmanship in a positive way.

Esports, like traditional sports, is a legitimate competitive sport that improves physical fitness and develops mental abilities.

Esports tests both mental and physical coordination...

……

The first half of this announcement is a bunch of random platitudes explaining what esports means and assuring everyone that game competitions are not some frivolous activity.

As gamers, we naturally agree with these points.

But what follows the announcement is something everyone is even more concerned about.

That includes the competition format and schedule, how to participate in the selection process, and how to advance to the official competition...
