Chapter 383: Chapter 138: Great Victory! The First Esports Event Ends Perfectly!_3

Meanwhile, players from neighboring Neon began itching to get in on the action after watching the matches and clamored for "Eternity" to be launched in Watasi State as well, eager for the dual-nation players from Huaxia and Korea to experience what it means to be called "Waving Swords Immortal"!

Finally, the last two days of finals arrived.

The Netcom official, a collaborative creator, also expressed high recognition and strong support for this event.

And they did this without even needing the number one player to spend a dime.

Taking advantage of the 13th day, the rest day.

They voluntarily expended funds to quickly refurbish the Jianglin Gymnasium in a martial arts style.

All the tiered seats were fitted with chair covers featuring the eighteen traditional weapons of ancient Huaxia.

Even the large screen for the competition was replaced with a newer and stronger 8K ultra-high-definition one.

The stage was even decorated to resemble a fighting ring.

Half an hour before the official start of the matches.

A group of provincial acrobatics teachers and martial arts coaches, heavily hired by Netcom,

Appeared on stage in sequence, dressed in classic costumes from "Eternity"s characters and accompanied by the urgent sounds of war drums and heavy gongs.

They took to the stage, weapons in hand, dancing and practicing.

Some flawlessly replicated the fighting moves of "Eternity" based on their solid foundational skills; they tangled in groups and sped up their combat as the drumming intensified.

Blending fists, feet, legs, and weapons perfectly.

Some of "Eternity"’s moves were continuously demonstrated, fluid and graceful, flowing like water.

Each move responded to the other, matched with the sound of sleeves breaking the wind and the clashing of swords and gongs.

Between each move, they perfectly performed the beauty of Huaxia’s Kung Fu and its integration with martial arts fiction.

Beyond that.

There were also acrobats who, aided by wire rigging, performed real-life versions of difficult movements like "sliding step" and "hooking rope" that are normally impossible to achieve.

Alongside them, a multitude of warriors who seemed to be "flying above eaves and walking on walls" displayed their prowess to all the spectators.

The atmosphere prior to the match had nearly peaked! The cheering and shouting from the crowd were deafening!

The 8,000-seat stadium, which had never been filled before, was today already packed to the brim, with people even standing in the aisles of the viewing stands.

Crowds of people tightly surrounded the entire stage, making it impenetrable!

All major live broadcasting platforms had viewer counts that exceeded 5 million within Huaxia alone!

Even Shark TV had to urgently activate backup servers to alleviate the pressure,

In case the server crashed during the viewing process.

Just before this highly anticipated event kicked off,

The cameras switched to three official "Eternity" hosts.

"Welcome everyone to the first ever "Eternal Ring" Dragon Cup solo finals! I’m Commentator Yuntian."

"I’m Commentator Meow."

"And I’m Commentator Wang Duoduo."

The three commentators had been recruited and selected by the top player before the competition started.

As there had never been a similar competition on Blue Star before,

Almost no one had experience commentating games.

Yuntian was pulled over from the neighboring football commentary channel by Ke Jin.

As a young and upcoming commentator, his style was surprisingly stable, but despite his two years in the sports channel that required a certain prestige, it didn’t bring him much income.

So he decisively switched careers to see how things would go in the booming eSports industry.

Meow, on the other hand, was selected by Ke Jin from among the top female players of the national server.

Though not as quick in reaction as the real players, she possessed a decent understanding of the game and, what’s more, she was a graduate from the broadcasting department, with a slender figure and beautiful face.

Even more crucially, she took the initiative to propose that she would wear the same black stockings as the character Walnut for the commentating, and even allowed the director to cut away to her legs if the other commentators ran out of words.

What a promising young lady!

If not you, then who should advance?

With the principle of mixed-gender collaboration making the work more enjoyable, it served as a flavor enhancer for the audience, making the commentary of the event richer and more interesting.

Ke Jin decisively chose her.

As for Wang Duoduo...

His appearance also came as quite a surprise to Ke Jin.

Back on Earth in his former life, due to his distinctive style as a wanderer poet, he was one of the more prominent broadcasters in the LOL community.

Unexpectedly, in this life, right as the "Eternity" commentary recruitment for the competition began, he eagerly came forward to apply.

Without any hesitation, he was hired!

"The intense atmosphere in the stadium today makes even the glass in the commentary booth tremble subtly, which is enough to indicate the excitement of the audience on site," said Wang Duoduo with a smile.

"Indeed, and the viewers in the live broadcast room are just as enthusiastic. The barrage in the main broadcast room is so intense, I can barely keep up," Meow chimed in.

"The champion of this solo finals will emerge from among the 50 competitors, and although 47 of them are from Huaxia, we hope the remaining three from Korea can withstand the pressure and perform well!"

"All right, enough talk, we can see that the first match has already begun!"

"You can see that after nearly two weeks of fierce battle, the players have gotten smarter. Early defeats are tempting, but they also need to ensure their own growth keeps up; therefore, everyone’s choosing more conservative landings."

"Exactly, places like Heavenly Human City and Sunset Temple, which are known for dense resources—I recall at the start of the competition nearly 20 people would jump there, but now everyone has spread out. They are each sticking to a small resource point."

"With a 1.2 times higher rate of advanced resource drops, even the less significant locations can give you a shot at finding golden armor and golden swords."

"That’s right... and the first player the director is showing us is South Maple, also a master of Walnut, wielding his spear with exceptional skill. Let’s look forward to his performance in this game."
