Chapter 233: The First World Championship!

Guide Lu Qing, as usual, was getting ready to go to the lake to fish and enjoy the peaceful country life.

But today, he saw someone by the lake.

This person was a player.

However, this player was not ordinary!

Lu Qing’s Eye of Truth was wildly flashing question marks, as if all the information about this player before him was top secret.

The Eye of Truth was flashing red furiously, almost like it had triggered developer privileges, to warn him directly!

In this situation, even Lu Qing should understand, even if he is really silly!

If the information that even the eyes given by Creation God cannot see, then there are only two possibilities.

One is the Creation God himself.

One is an existence even more powerful than Creation God!

But no matter which possibility, they are all the worst possibilities!

He wanted to turn and leave, but the other person had obviously noticed him, and directly interrupted his turning movement with words.

Lu Qing had to sit down with a clenched teeth, saying, "Hello."

Chen Ye couldn’t help but reveal a playful smile at this, "How are you doing here, Lu Qing?"

Lu Qing stood up with a start as he heard this, could it be that tone…

"Creation God, how are you?"

Chen Ye continued to focus on his fishing rod. "Sit down, I never said I am Creation God. Let’s just have a casual chat."

Just chatting casually…

Lu Qing felt his heart pounding, and after sitting back down, he didn’t know how to speak for a moment.

Chen Ye spoke first, "How many fish do you see in this pond?"

Does this sentence have a deeper meaning, or is it just a casual chat?

How should one chat with Creation God?

Lu Qing swallowed nervously, "I’m not sure…"

Chen Ye smiled, "Why is this pond called a fish pond?"

"Because of the fish?" Lu Qing asked.

Chen Ye continued, "A pond is called a fish pond because of the fish in it, and that’s why we call someone the Fish Pond Master."

"If there were no fish, there wouldn’t be a Fish Pond Master. The fish swimming in the water don’t know anything because they can’t see the land."

"But what if they could see?"

"If the fish could see the people on the shore, would they still bite the bait? If they knew they would be caught eventually, would they still struggle to survive?"

"Of course, fish have short memories and they don’t have human intelligence, so they never realize their situation."

"If they were a bit smarter and realized that if they were lost, the Fish Pond Master would lose everything, maybe everything would be different."

"What do you think?"

Lu Qing looked puzzled, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Chen Ye smiled and said, "Of course we’re talking about fish. Now, speaking of fishermen, why do you go fishing?"

Lu Qing replied, "I do it to eat, and… a bit of fun."

Chen Ye nodded, looking pleased with his answer. "Yes, there are two types of fishermen. One fishes for profit, like for a fresh meal."

"And the other type fishes to enjoy the process, even if they release the fish they catch. They don’t feel regretful."

"Because for these people, the enjoyment comes from the act of fishing itself."

"I think I belong to the latter, but just catching fish alone seems to lack some fun."

"Like this, I keep fishing, they keep biting, because they know I will release them."

"But what if one day, I suddenly change my mind and no longer fish for pleasure, but to kill them all?"

"Imagine their faces when they suddenly face death, isn’t that interesting?"

For some reason, Lu Qing felt like Chen Ye wasn’t talking about fish anymore.

"Really interesting, right?" Lu Qing said while holding the fishing rod.

Chen Ye’s mouth slowly curved into a smile, "Yes, but not yet, because they are not used to it."

"When they get used to the feeling of biting the hook and realize that it’s not harmful, that’s when it becomes the most interesting."

"And for that moment, we need to try our best to feed these fish, to fulfill their various needs."

"Let them see biting the hook as a way of playing."

"Haha, but what I am looking forward to the most is the fish’s resistance."

"Struggling against the elements, against each other, against people, it’s endless fun. In the face of death, many lives can show extraordinary instincts."

"And this instinct to survive is the greatest pleasure in the game of life and death."

At that moment, the fish float on Chen Ye’s fishing line suddenly sank.

"Fishy, got another bite."

。。。

Time was running out, with only one day left before the start of the competition, all the team’s players were already in position.

The team competition and individual competition will start at the same time.

The individual competition will use a random matching system conducted by the Trialsmitter, with random draws for 1v1 knockout matches.

The winner advances, the loser is eliminated.

No second chances.

The first team match used a competition format based on countries.

The players need to first rank top three in their own country, then they will qualify for the World Championship to determine the final rankings.

The team competition is a best-of-three format, with both offline and online matches being livestreamed simultaneously.

Coordinated by eleven official personnel from The Sealed Land offline.

Internet users couldn’t help but exclaim when they saw the attire of the eleven official personnel, "Wow, it’s the Ghost General!"

"Great cosplay, it looks so real!"

"It’s just like the real Ghost General!"

"The official team really nailed it with the outfits!"

"I must go see it live just for the cosplay!"

"But why isn’t Sima Cuo here? Is the official team discriminating against Sima Cuo?"

"Yes, there are only eleven Ghost Generals. We need one more!"

Right now, the Zero Investigation Bureau is extremely busy.

"Why?"

"Why bother with nonsense? This is real!"

"If Sima Cuo’s mask wasn’t here with us, those so-called official members would be twelve!"

"Why would these people be official members of The Sealed Land? Isn’t that strange in itself?"

"Arrest them!"

"Director, please calm down first."

"The whole world is watching this match right now. If we make a big move here, it might cause…"

"So we just leave these uncertain factors hanging around and swinging boldly?"

"It’s really the Ghost General, if they unleash their killing intent, do you know what consequences it will bring about!"

"But in this way, the matter of the Ghost General will be completely exposed, and we can’t hide it anymore."

"If it causes a world panic again…"

"This is not just about China, please consider the bigger picture!"

"Ugh, darn it!"

"We’ll participate, we’ll join!"

"I’d like to see what tricks they’re up to!"
