Chapter 185: Chapter 85: The Exciting Match Day! The First Round Champion is Decided!_3

"Alright, we can see that both players have almost simultaneously entered the sealed place, and they’re both strong contenders for the grand prize. Let’s see who can defeat the BOSS faster this round!" Little Grey’s voice trailed off as he adjusted the split-screen in the live stream once again.

The screen was split in two, with the left and right players occupying half each.

The players’ camera footage also focused on their keyboards and hand movements.

This was also required by the rules.

To prevent the use of some bizarre physical cheating methods out of the audience’s sight.

Therefore, in online competitions, players must show their hands.

While waiting for the BOSS to awaken, the barrage of comments also started placing bets.

"No-prize guessing! Who do you think will win this round, the left or the right?"

"I pick the left side! I came from that guy’s live stream on the left; his play was fierce all the way here with very few mistakes!"

"Then I’ll also choose the left side!"

"Me too, left!"

"Come on, brother on the right!"

Seeing the enthusiasm in the comments, Little Grey symbolically opened a bet with virtual currency to liven up the atmosphere.

It only took a short 15 seconds to bet.

Support for the player on the left was clearly higher; the count of virtual currency spiked to several hundred thousand, while the right side had only a pitiful few tens of thousands.

Initially, as everyone expected,

The player on the left did seem to have the upper hand.

His playing style was clearly well-studied, with each slash, Skill release, movement, including the control of the Cut Down’s force, all much more skilled.

He was even faster at taking down the BOSS.

But perhaps it was the nerves from being watched by so many for the first time in such an event, his hands were constantly trembling subtly as he played.

And with it, mistakes became more frequent.

Many comments supporting the left-side player burst out swearing in frustration.

"Damn it! What are you shaking for, huh?!"

"Got Parkinson’s, have you?! Parkinson’s, is it?!"

"If you can’t play, then don’t. You’re wasting my hundreds of virtual currency!"

Amidst the complaints, his performance did not improve, and no miracle occurred.

Until the final few strokes, when the player on the right completely surpassed him.

In the end, the time froze at 1:38:19.06, which was currently the best record.

"Let’s congratulate the player ’Undying Soul of Action’ for taking the lead in this round! If no other player beats this time in the subsequent matches of the first round, then this undying player could very likely take home the 5,000 yuan cash prize for beginners! Congratulations, Undying!"

Soon, the live stream was flooded with a dense flurry of emojis sent by the viewers

"/Applause/Applause/Applause"

"/Fireworks/Fireworks/Fireworks"

"This bro, so cool!"

"Jealous of those skills, his girlfriend’s so lucky/Dog Head"

There were also comments expressing dissatisfaction.

"Rigged! Give back the currency! It was clear that the left side would win! Fixing the match, is it?"

"Come on, enough already, you think this small competition is fixed? You think it’s the World Cup or what?"

"Everyone has moments when they don’t perform well. If you were up there, you’d be shaking more than him!"

It wasn’t just the comments; even Little Grey couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret.

He clearly felt that the player on the left was almost no less skilled than the rest.

He could even challenge the higher difficulty levels.

But unexpectedly, he crashed out in the beginner level.

After interviewing the Undying player for a short while, he also connected with the player who temporarily ranked second, whose ID was ’Miracle’.

The comments continued to rant.

"Why interview this loser? Use the time to move on to the next group!"

"Bad luck! All the 5,000 virtual currency I’d saved up gone, utterly disgusting!"

Little Grey ignored the comments and, after making friendly conversation, expressed the doubts in his mind.

"Miracle, hello. During the continuous observation, I felt that you actually had the chance to speed up further, but you made several mistakes at the end and came up short. Was it because you were too nervous at that moment?"

There was silence on the other end for a while.

After a moment, a voice that seemed strained and slightly struggling to swallow answered.

"I... have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis..."

At the drop of those words,

The entire room fell into a dead silence!
