Uncle, I am not an ordinary office worker.

"Is it over?" Xiao Xuantie blinked in surprise. But how long had it been? Did Roy surrender without any resistance? Or did he use a trick to divide the knights?

No one knows a son better than his father. Seeing the little Xuantie's expression, how could the old Xuantie not know what she was thinking? He smiled in his heart and answered seriously: "He won the game and has advanced now."

"what?"

.....

"Ah?" After hearing the news from the points race, even Mainna couldn't help but ask in surprise.

What? Roy defeated 127 competitive knights alone?

In fact, to be fair, based on Maenna's knowledge, this is not something that cannot be done. Let alone others, even for him, it is not difficult to easily defeat the opponent in the points competition. After all, with his current strength, he is no longer in the same league as the competitive knights who are still fighting crickets in the arena.

But the question is, how much time has passed?

Mauna assured that he did not pay special attention to the start time of the game, but just "happened" to hear a little bit of the schedule from Maria who was watching TV, so he had a rough idea of ​​it. If the time on the watch is correct, it should have only been an hour since the start of the game, right?

One-hour speedrun points race, simple and easy to copy, why did I have such a dream?

There were 128 knights in the points race, and there were still 127 after Roy was removed. Just one hour had passed, and Roy had to defeat two knights per minute on average to achieve this achievement. Mauna knew that competitive knights were more about show than real skills, but even if there were big-foot beasts, Roy couldn't catch them all in an hour!

Are you guys surrendering as a whole unit or what?

With a sigh, Mauna looked at the real-time display screen of the Knights' Prize Pool in the main control room. Yes, he was working part-time here.

What's so surprising about this? What job has the lowest threshold and the highest salary for Casimir recently? Of course, it's the part-time job in the special tournament.

On the screen, Roy's name was not even on the list. This made him feel a little better. This man had demolished his home, kidnapped his child (niece), and even completed the Operation Elimination - Casimir Special Championship Points Tournament in an hour. If he could make more money, Uncle Manna, who was still a worker who had to rent a house outside, would really say that.

Uncle, I’m getting angry!

Just as Ma Enna was sighing, the director of the monitoring room suddenly pushed the door open and shouted at the top of his voice as soon as he entered:

"Attention all staff! Attention all staff! We have just received a huge amount of funds from the Victoria Knight Protection Association. Please calibrate the transfer and broadcast it as soon as possible!"

"50 Victoria pounds, the Knights' total prize pool has increased by 12.5 pounds! The remaining 37.5 pounds have been added to Knight Roy's personal prize pool! In addition, the entire district broadcast thanks the bettor Victoria Knight Protection Association!"

Anyone tipped Roy?

50w Victoria pounds?

Mainna gasped. The exchange rate between Victoria pounds and Casimir rubles was 5.57:1. In other words, someone gave Roy 250 million yuan?

After estimating his monthly part-time salary and the high cost of rebuilding the Linguang Mansion, Mainna assessed his own abilities and suddenly felt that it was not impossible to earn money by working as a knight and bullying noobs.

It is true that I would not bow down for a few pieces of silver, but the other party gave me 2.5 million pieces of silver, which seems to be worth considering.

Volume 1: Chapter 48 [The Voice of the Troupe] (Mist) Officially Debuts

Casimir, Grand Knight Territory, Exit of the Fiery Sun Arena.

As soon as Roy walked out of the arena, he was surrounded by reporters who had been waiting there for a long time.

"Mr. Roy, I'm a reporter from the Rose Newspaper. What do you think of today's game?"

"Mr. Roy, I'm a reporter from Casimir Central News. You just broke thirteen records in the special tournament. As the holder of many records such as the Grand Knight Leader Knight Competition Speed ​​Champion, Multiplayer Battle Champion, and Points Race Fastest Champion, what do you think about your current situation and future plans?"

"Mr. Roy, I'm a reporter for the Knights' Association's official weekly news. May I ask how you achieved the feat of defeating 28 enemies at once? Do you have any secrets to your training? Can you reveal a little bit?"

Trying his best to push away the people in front of him, Roy suddenly noticed a female reporter standing outside the crowd. She was isolated from everyone, watching Roy leave without being impatient, and the pen in her hand kept recording in the shorthand book. I wonder what she was writing?

Roy raised his eyebrows, stopped curiously, and walked towards the female reporter. She was still writing furiously, and even though Roy had walked up to her, she didn't notice. What was even more amazing was that when Roy walked towards her, even those reporters who had originally planned to follow Roy all the way home to get the exclusive report actually stopped five meters away from the female reporter, holding paper, pen and recorder, and dared not go beyond the line.

Who is this person?

Roy coughed curiously, and the female reporter in front of him finally realized that there was someone standing in front of her. She quickly took a step back, raised her head and apologized: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it."

She raised her head slightly, and when she found that the person in front of her was Roy himself, she jumped up, and inspiration burst out, and she wrote more content in the shorthand notebook in her hand. Roy witnessed all this, and finally couldn't help but wake up this female reporter who was immersed in her own world and asked, "Who are you?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, Knight Roy, I'm a reporter from the Red Wine News."

Hearing this application, Roy already regretted talking to her. What is Red Wine News? It's the famous Casimir's No. 1 gossip reporter, a social media that uses unreality as its biggest selling point. Others publish news while he publishes serialized novels. It's a magical publication that takes turns to make fun of them. Even if Roy meets them, it's like Brother Dao meeting Brother Hu, and he has to respect them.

But the reporter from Red Wine News would not miss such a good opportunity to meet Roy face to face, and immediately began to ask questions:

"Sir Knight Roy, Sir Knight Roy, please don't go. I have many questions to ask you. How did you manage to knock down 128 burly men with just one sword? Was it really because Olmer Ingra's skills were too poor that he was knocked to death by your punch? What is your limit? After killing 128 people, who will you target next? Is it only muscular men, or is it regardless of gender as long as they are knights... Please don't go. I still have many questions to ask you! At least answer a yes or a no, right?"

"no!"

The female reporter of Red Wine Newspaper suddenly realized and quickly wrote down the key words in her shorthand notebook: Facing the report of our special correspondent, Mr. Roy looked embarrassed, as if he had something to hide. After a long consideration, he finally answered with two words "no". A brilliant and emerging knight would be so guilty. Is he lying? Or is there something that forced him to go against his conscience and tell such a lie? The author believes that this may be related to the fight between Knight Roy and that knight some time ago.

"Alright! Then add a silhouette of the Candle Knight and a big question mark, and then add Roy's embarrassed look, and we'll have a selling point and something to look forward to! The editor-in-chief will definitely praise me!"

Looking up with satisfaction, the female reporter once again saw Roy standing in front of her, but this time, he had a dark face and was full of oppression. He even looked a little scary!

The female reporter was always so focused when writing that her attention was distracted, which caused Roy to "accidentally" and "happen" to see everything in the shorthand notebook.

Although the handwriting in the shorthand notebook was messy, Roy felt that it was far less messy than how messy he felt inside at the moment.

With your literary talent and imagination, it would be a shame if you didn't write novels and worked as a reporter for the Wine News here!

If you were the main writer for "The Return" and "Glorious Casimir", why would you only add some attack power? The crowd would have to evolve on the spot after watching it, and start performing "The Family of Hai Si"!

"I'm telling you, little reporter. When did I show this expression? When did I lie out of guilt? I advise you not to always think about making a big news story. Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble!"

The female reporter was stunned for a moment, and took a step back in fear, but still took out the press badge from inside her clothes and said:

"No, no, I'm a journalist, I have freedom of the press, I must report the truth, even if it's you... don't try to use such physical means to shake my mind and change my soul!"

Shake the mind, change the soul? Damn it, if I had this ability, I would be the devil now!

Roy was furious. He looked at the name tag and learned the name of the female reporter in front of him - Apophis Spencer, a young reporter who had just graduated from school and had been working at the Wine News for less than a year.

In just one year, you can ruin a top university student like this. You must be the real devil.

Seeing that Apophis was still young, Roy was too lazy to pursue the matter further and just advised: "That's enough. This kind of report concerns the personal reputation of me and Candle Knight. I will not allow it to be published. In addition, I advise you to leave the Red Wine News as soon as possible. There are many good newspapers, but why choose the Red Wine News."

After hearing this, Apophis became unhappy: "What's wrong with the Red Wine Newspaper? I think the Red Wine Newspaper is very suitable for me!"

"Suitable for you? A newspaper full of gossip and slander is suitable for you?"

"Of course. Even though I've only been here for a year, I've even won awards in the Red Wine News' internal news competition!" Apophis said proudly.

Roy narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "You've only been employed for a year, what award can you get?"

"The most ironic news report award. The title of the news is "The current situation of Casimir's journalism, is it booming or declining?" The content is: Traffic is booming, but the content is declining!"

Roy scratched his chin and shook his head, "Then I'll hurry up and do what I can."

"Yours?" Apophis looked unconvinced.

Roy simply said, "It's a satirical news. Let's make a bet. I'll tell you a title and content. If you think it's not good enough, then I'll allow you to report it according to what you wrote in your shorthand notebook. If you think it's better than you, then you listen to me and report it according to what I said. How about that?"

Apophis raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Let's bet."

She didn't believe that Roy had the ability to write news. A knight, writing satirical news, what good articles could the old-fashioned people come up with to criticize the current situation? If Roy could really write it, it meant that his attainments were no less than hers. What was the harm in listening to him?

Seeing that Apophis had taken the lead, Roy did not hesitate and said, "The title of my news is "To Take a Quote Out of Context", and the content is very simple, "To Take a Quote Out of Context", which is an excerpt from "Don't Take a Quote Out of Context."

Apophis was stunned for a moment, then figured out the meaning of Roy's words and bowed with conviction.

"You are the real master. I lost. How do you think I should write it?"

Volume 1: Chapter 49 No one can compete with Roy

Casimir, Grand Knight, October 10rd.

As soon as the residents of the Great Knight Territory got up in the morning, they were attracted by a piece of news that went viral on the Internet.

"Shocking, 127vs1 was defeated, the value of this special tournament may be the lowest in history?"

The content of the report was simple: the special tournament points race, which was originally scheduled to last for a week and tour seven arenas, officially came to an end yesterday, the first day of the competition. 127 knights were defeated in the siege of a knight, causing the points of all the remaining knights participating in the points race to be reset to zero in advance, and the remaining games could no longer be played.

For those who have not witnessed the game in person, there are two reasons why Roy was able to accomplish the feat of 1-127 against : either he is very strong, or his opponent is too weak!

If it was the former it would be fine, but unfortunately most viewers would rather believe the latter. And if the knights participating in the points race are so bad, then this special championship will undoubtedly become the least valuable one in history.

Objectively speaking, this report simply states a fact that the general public can figure out after a moment's thought, but the problem is that the newspaper media that published this report is extraordinary.

"It's amazing that the editor-in-chief approved the publication of this kind of commentary in the Red Wine News. Mr. Roy, how did you come up with this idea?"

Wearing a beige knitted long-sleeved sweater, a light-colored jacket, and a small beret on her head, the Kuranta girl named Apophis held the outer wall of the warm coffee cup with one hand and adjusted her glasses with the other. She looked like a girl next door from the literature department. No one would associate her with a notorious media like the Red Wine News.

October in Casimir was already cold. The knights on the field were full of passion and excitement, but off the field, they were so excited that they could exhale a puff of white mist. Apophis carefully sipped the steaming coffee, feeling the warm current flowing from her mouth all the way down to her abdomen, and asked in a relaxed mood.

Roy sat opposite Apophis, just as he had instructed Apophis to write in the report. Because Roy had completed all the competitions ahead of schedule, the special championship had to temporarily change the competition schedule. Roy estimated that the organizing committee and the Chamber of Commerce should temporarily add some new competitions or competition modes, but in any case, it was definitely too late today.

He's on vacation!

Hearing Apophis's question, Roy shrugged calmly and explained:

"What do you think of the Red Wine News? An inferior media outlet that reports on gossip and rumors?"

"After all, Red Wine News is a large company that can be included in the board of directors of the Business Federation. Their marketing strategy is more like "singing a different tune" than simple gossip paparazzi."

"The purpose of Red Wine News is to report content that is different from the mainstream and that interests the mainstream public. The report you wrote for them just proves this strategy. When everyone was paying attention to how strong [Roy Knight] was, you took the lead in proposing the view that [it might not be that Roy is strong, but that the enemy is too weak], and used this as an argument to attack the value of this event. This is a complete departure from the mainstream but eye-catching counter-argument."

Of course, Roy was not sure that this report would be published. After all, attacking the value of the Special Championship would inevitably damage the interests of the Business Federation. To put it simply, if the value of the Special Championship was low, it would affect the business federation's ability to make money by hyping up the Special Championship IP. As a member of the Business Federation, Roy was not sure whether the Red Wine News would do such a thing that would harm others and benefit itself.

But it turns out that he is quite good at judging people. The business association is not monolithic, and the Red Wine News does not mind a little loss of public resources for personal gain when it comes to making money, or making a lot of money.

As capitalists, this is the situation.

"Besides, I didn't write this report for you in vain. It will also be beneficial to me."

Roy said calmly,

"I'm too popular now. A tall tree attracts the wind, and the one that sticks out gets shot. It's a good thing to use this method to cool down a little bit."

There are two ways to promote yourself in marketing. In addition to promoting yourself, you can also belittle others. It is a simple but practical method to discredit the other knights in the points race. After all, the other knights in the points race are different from me. They all have a knight group behind them, and the knight group has big money sponsors behind them. And those big money sponsors are unwilling to see Roy's fame and prestige continue to expand.

This can be seen from the fact that they did not arrange a single match for Roy on the eve of the special tournament.

The means and strategies have changed from flattery to suppression, and the businessmen are beginning to fear that if they continue to flatter, Roy will reach a level where he cannot be touched, which is the so-called "high achievements shock the master". After all, they made the rules, and it is not easy for them to break the rules and get rid of someone. The Knight of Glory is already a special case.

Roy specifically threw out this report to give them a way out. It was not that the enemy was too strong, but that their subordinates were too incompetent. As long as they sent more powerful knights to launch an attack, everything would be fine.

This way Roy can get more advanced experience packs.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Chamber of Commerce will resort to desperate measures. After all, they still have one last option.

........

"We still have one last option. Send out the Helmetless Alliance to get rid of Roy!"

The joint meeting of the Business Federation was very rare. Instead of a spokesperson attending the meeting, the bosses of major companies came in person. After some brief greetings, the chairman of Rebirth Pharmaceuticals took the lead in proposing his own suggestions on the most important topic of this special meeting.

But his suggestion only received silent gazes from the other directors. No one answered, let alone agreed.

The chairman of Rebirth Pharmaceuticals asked with displeasure in his tone, "What do you mean? Isn't it time to send out the Wu Zhou League to send Roy to the sky?"

The director of Red Wine News was in a good mood today. Seeing that no one was paying attention to Rebirth Pharmaceuticals, he took the initiative to speak: "He is on the side of the Expedition Knights. Do you know what the consequences will be if we send out the No Helmet Alliance? Maybe they are waiting for us to take action."

"The killing of a knight or former knight is, at best, just an ordinary murder case. At best, it gives the Supervisory Council an excuse to allow the remaining knights to enter the city."

The director of Rebirth Pharmaceuticals fell silent for a while before he spoke again:

"Then what good ideas do you have? Roy is now too powerful to be eliminated." He looked at the chairman of Rose Newspapers and said, "Kane, it was you who suggested that he join the special tournament as a special knight, right? Now you come to solve this problem?"

Reporter Kane gave him a blank look, feeling both amused and helpless.

He was the one who proposed it, and he also said his purpose at the time. Roy is now a double-edged sword, with extremely high popularity. Not letting him join the special championship is like leaving this cash cow for nothing. Letting him join the special championship may lead to further expansion of his fame, which is difficult to control. So he proposed to let Roy join in this way of special invitation, which can ensure that he can use Roy's fame to sell peripherals and tickets to attract sponsorship to make money, but also make Roy always be attacked by the crowd and will not last long.

At first everyone praised this method as killing two birds with one stone and achieving the best of both worlds. Why did they change their tune now?

"Blame me? Why don't you blame your subordinates? 127 hit one person and was killed in return. Do you know how to play?"

Reporter Kane shot back. The director of Red Wine News took the opportunity to whistle, looking somewhat pleased with himself.

The director of Rebirth Pharmaceuticals looked even uglier. Among the knights in the points race, there were also knights from the knight group they sponsored. They were defeated by Roy alone, and they were ashamed no matter what they said.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, the chairman of Stanway Building Materials acted as a peacemaker and said, "Okay, okay, no matter what, we have to find a solution to this problem. Kane, tell me if you have any ideas."

Kane then smiled disdainfully in the direction of Rebirth Pharmaceuticals and turned back to say:

"This is an easy one. Since the points competition is forced to end early, why not innovate and add a new competition system?"

"What new competition system?" someone asked curiously.

"It's a two-person match," Kane said. "No matter how strong Roy is, he's still just one person. Why don't we make some innovations in the rules of the match and stipulate that the points of the two people in the two-person match must be settled in a 50-50 manner?"

"Forcing Roy to find a teammate temporarily, his points can only be counted as 50% of his own towards the team's points. I don't need to say anything else, right?"

Everyone nodded in sudden realization.

Kane really doesn't need to explain the rest, after all, they are all traditional skills.

"No knight will be able to team up with Roy. He will either be forced to withdraw because he can't gather enough people, or he will drag down the team with a newcomer and be eliminated in the end because of insufficient points!"
