Chapter 300 - Three Tickets (1/2)

On the first weekend of every year, the Glory Pro Alliance a.s.sembled all of the pro players and host a gathering. The gathering would have many performances, especially the All-Star Compet.i.tion. 24 pros would be chosen through a fan vote. It could be said that these 24 pros were the 24 most popular players, with the largest fan bases. Because of this Glory event, the gathering was also called the All-Star Weekend.

After the great success of the first All-Star Weekend in the Glory Pro Alliance’s third season, the event came back every year with a different Club responsible for hosting it. This year, Glory’s eighth season and sixth All-Star Weekend was hosted by Club Samsara. Club Samsara was located in City S. Once Ye Xiu heard Chen Guo say that they were going to City S for the weekend, he thought of this special day and understood what was going on.

“Are we going to partic.i.p.ate in the All-Star Weekend?” Ye Xiu asked.

“Yup! I managed to get three tickets. How amazing am I?” Chen Guo exclaimed.

Even though the compet.i.tiveness during the All-Star Weekend might not be as great as a normal match, for the many fans, having the chance to watch such an exciting event was already worth the ticket price. As a result, the All-Star Weekend’s tickets were in very high demand. If you wanted to buy one, money wasn’t the only thing you needed. Luck played a huge part as well.

“Not bad, not bad.” Ye Xiu forced a smile.

All-Star Weekend…… With his status, he had been chosen as one of the 24 players every single year. Even this year, starting from when the votes started at the beginning of the season, the amount of votes he got was very high. It was only because he had retired mid-way that his name got wiped from the list.

For Ye Xiu, who didn’t want to be exposed in front of the public, the All-Star Weekend was an event that required a lot of interaction, so truthfully, it wasn’t an event he liked to partic.i.p.ate in. The All-Star Weekend was a performance, so the compet.i.tion there wasn’t very serious. The battles between two sides wouldn’t be in an enclosed area like conventional matches. The stage was set where the audience could directly see them. As a result, Ye Xiu always hid behind the stage. His computer would then be connected to the stage by a cord.

Ye Xiu was the only one who wouldn’t come up on stage. In the past, his invisibility was a part of the All-Star event and it had even turned into a type of joke. But All-Star’s Compet.i.tion this time around would no longer have this part.

Ye Xiu had managed to escape from this year’s All-Star Compet.i.tion with great difficulty. How could he have known that Chen Guo would buy a ticket and call him to go along. In the past, he had been a partic.i.p.ant and this time, he would be a spectator. Thinking about this, he decided that it’d be fine and, as a result, he wouldn’t decline Chen Guo’s good intentions.

In Chen Guo’s mind, she didn’t think that anyone who played Glory would refuse this type of trip. That was why she had notified Ye Xiu. She didn’t have any intention of negotiating and didn’t notice Ye Xiu’s reluctance. She had already put in order the issue about the three not working at the Internet Cafe for the weekend.

Three tickets naturally meant three people. Ye Xiu, Chen Guo, and the other person was, of course, Tang Rou. Tang Rou already knew, though she displayed her usual boredness. She clearly wasn’t as crazy of a fan as Chen Guo was.

After Ye Xiu went online, he played for a bit and then saw that Su Mucheng’s Cleansing Mist had come online.

“I’ll be going to City S tomorrow!” Su Mucheng messaged. Considering Su Mucheng’s skill level, there was quite a dispute as to whether or not she belonged among the top 24 players. However, the invitations to the All-Star Compet.i.tion weren’t chosen based on ability, but rather popularity. In this area, Su Mucheng was the favorite among Glory fans. From the very start of the event, she had been chosen as one of the 24 stars every time.

“Yeah, I’ll be going too.” Ye Xiu replied.

“Ah? You’re going too? They found you?” Su Mucheng asked.

“What? Who found me?” Ye Xiu was puzzled.

“For this year’s All-Star Weekend of course. Samsara hoped that you would be able to come on stage with a special invitation, so they contacted Excellent Era. The manager even came to ask me whether I could contact you. I, however, ignored him.” Su Mucheng replied.

“Oh, not that…… I have a ticket.”

“You bought a ticket….. How thoughtful!”

“Nah, it’s my boss. She got three tickets and asked me to tag along.” Ye Xiu said.

“Oh, oh, as a spectator!”

“Yeah!”

“It’ll probably feel very different, right?”

“Probably?”

“I want to be a spectator too.”
