Earth’s Best Gamer-Chapter 408 - Crazy Interviews

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ding! Ding!

After Ji Ye learned the latest information from the forum, his doorbell rang.

“Mr. Ji, they’re ready. You need to go there now.”

Opening the door, a middle-aged man who wore a black cloak with the badge of a security guard and a gun on his waist spoke to Ji Ye.

“Okay, thank you, Chief Liu.”

Ji Ye nodded at the middle-aged man.

The man was an elite officer known as the Hawkeye of Yang City.

He was the one who was responsible for the safety of all the beta testers when Ji Ye and Fatty Zhu first came to the player base. At this moment, Director Zhou had asked him to protect Ji Ye alone, even though Ji Ye rarely logged off.

Of course, he was the only security guard that was in the open. Ji Ye had no doubt that other professionals were near his residence.

Two minutes later, the middle-aged man led Ji Ye into a spacious room styled in a futuristic style where a few pieces of equipment he had never seen before were installed.

“Mr. Ji, greetings. I am Sun Qing. I’m here to introduce the holograph system to you. This is Minister Zhang!”

There were only two men in the room.

One of them was a middle-aged man in black who was smiling while the other was a young female.

The young female who looked pretty in her black suit spoke to Ji Ye smoothly and gracefully, but there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

The “minister” did not come from a random company, and she was not a regular worker at all.

However, she was still rather ill at ease in front of the Master of Dragon City.

It had been several months since the Land of Inheritance was opened, and a lot of the beta testers had exchanged extraordinary abilities.

Perhaps because of their limited Rare Honor, none of them had got a Transcendent ability yet. Nevertheless, those people were like superman to her!

Ji Ye undoubtedly was the best of the beta testers.

According to the analysis of her department, Ji Ye had ten times more Rare Honor than average, and he could totally acquire Transcendent power.

In fact, it was also the reason why Ji Ye announced that he had fifteen invitations in such a high-profile manner!

Perhaps ordinary people couldn’t understand the significance of the number, but the intelligence agencies surely did.

“This is the holograph system. If you stand in this position, you’ll soon be projected to the press conference!”

After Ji Ye and Minister Zhang shook their hands, Sun Qing calmed down and introduced the equipment to Ji Ye as she was supposed to.

Yes, a press conference!

Of the three hottest posts on the forum of the Land of Inheritance, the first was Dragon City Group’s hiring, the third was the auctioning of the five invitations to the Land of Inheritance, and between them was the announcement that Dragon City would give four invitations to the talents that it needed for free!

The reason why the announcement was so popular was that the “interview” for the free invitations would be live-streamed to the world in a press conference.

That was the suggestion of a player who was an advertiser on Earth. He proposed that, since “Dragon City” was already popular because it was the first to become Transcendent, it was a great opportunity to introduce the products of Dragon City Group to the world to occupy the market.

Ji Ye accepted the player’s suggestion and even the request that he would personally conduct the interview.

However, he didn’t conduct the interview in person.

Both Dragon City and himself were under the spotlight. After he submitted an application via Director Zhou, it was suggested that he should stream with a holograph.

The holograph system, developed by a company in the capital, was said to be based on the technology of the PhD student who was first streamed in Chidragon. It was being used both for Ji Ye’s safety and to promote itself at the press conference of Dragon City.

Ji Ye accepted the request without hesitation.

As a matter of fact, he was too busy advancing into the Transcendent level to waste his time on Earth. He would’ve been fishing and absorbing dragon blood in Fang La’s territory if he weren’t really needed here.

He didn’t care at all if the equipment in his eyes contained anything special, partly because those people wouldn’t plot against him if they knew that he had Extraordinary abilities and they weren’t stupid, and partly because he could treat not just his body but also his mind with the Healing talent that he acquired a long time ago!

“The products that Dragon City Group are about to release include…”

Ji Ye was behind the curtain, and the person who stood on the stage was Su Mingcheng, who appeared about 35 years old.

Because the first half of the live stream was the product release conference of Dragon City, Su Mingcheng, as a partner, was the best one to announce it.

Besides, Su Mingcheng was also a real member of Dragon City at this moment.

Yes, the new richest guy of the southwestern province got an invitation. The invitation didn’t come from Ji Ye but from Su Nongying, who had two invitations.

In such a way, it would be more convenient for Su Mingcheng to contact Dragon City.

However, the advertisements on Dragon City’s plans and products weren’t the key at all.

The interview with the Master of Dragon City was the highlight of the show!

“Well, Mr. Ji, please sit in the center!”

After one and a half hours of product release, it was finally Ji Ye’s turn. The equipment in the futuristic room shot vague blue rays at Ji Ye and soon projected a studio around Ji Ye!

“Greetings, Mr. Ji, I’m Liu Bingbing…”

The host in the studio was a new star from the national TV channel. She was one of the best in terms of appearance and ability. She could even speak five languages.

However, Ji Ye could see the excitement and anxiety on her face even though she was remote. It was not because of the billion of audience in the stream channel, but because of Ji Ye’s presence!

She seemed to be just a host, but she must’ve gone through a lot of competitions to win the privilege of getting in touch with Ji Ye and talking to him for a long time when the fourth batch of players was about to be announced.

In fact, not just the host; even the right to rebroadcast the interview had caused fierce competition.

The streaming platforms such as Huyu and Douya had offered a higher price than that of the World Cup.

However, the right to rebroadcast the conference was claimed by Balibali, which wasn’t a top-tier content supplier.

The reason was very simple. The other stream companies couldn’t reach out to Ji Ye, while Balibali knew the account of Night Legend.

Fortunately, even though Ji Ye rarely logged off, he always checked his Balibali account that had been classified and couldn’t be searched for every time he did log off.

“Let’s get started!”

To the disappointment of the host who was as pretty as a top star, Ji Ye simply went straight to the topic after the formalities at the beginning.

“Let’s contact our first interviewee!”

The first to be interviewed by Ji Ye in front of a billion people was a teenager who wore thick glasses and a Sponge Bob T-shirt and couldn’t have been older than fifteen!

“What’s going on? A kid?”

“Are you kidding me? There are only a hundred openings, and a kid passed all the screenings?”

“Those openings must’ve been assigned to specific candidates. They’re just making this show to promote their products!”

The billion viewers who watched the press conference booed in front of their monitors.

“I’m good at statistics and playing games. I’ve won 103 world championships…”

However, the teenager who wore glasses wasn’t intimidated at all but began his self-introduction.

At the same time, his resume was displayed…

A gold medalist in a math contest, a champion in a go contest for teenagers, the first place holder in 97′ Street Fighter, runner up in a poker game…

He was only fifteen, yet he was either the champion and runner-up in a hundred world games.

More importantly, those games were related to math, physics, go, electronic games, etc. He even participated in online poker games with his parents’ ID cards and won championships too…

“Shoot, is it real?”

“He’s only fifteen, how can he win so many titles?”

The moment his resume came out, all those who watched the live stream exclaimed in disbelief.

“Yes, it’s real!”

“This article and the photos are from several years ago. They can’t be fake. He became a champion at the age of twelve!”

“I feel so ashamed and jealous!”

“What was I doing when I was fifteen? I was playing games too! Why was I only Bronze and why could I only get twenty points in math tests? I’m really an idiot in comparison!”

However, after they searched for the names and photos of the champions in those games online, they all changed their attitudes.

Those who were to be personally interviewed by Ji Ye had all been rigorously vetted by the staff of Dragon City Group.

Their resumes couldn’t be fake. Of course, some of them might have clean resumes but complicated history.

But that wasn’t a bad thing. At least, those people were really capable.

“Weird. If he’s so good, he should’ve been chosen as one of the beta testers. Why isn’t he a ‘player’?”

“It must be because of his age. He’s just turned fifteen and he missed the beta test phase. What a shame!”

“It’s not a shame at all. He can go straight into Dragon City without going through the dangers in the beta test phase. Many of the beta testers are geniuses in their fields but aren’t determined enough to go through.”

“It’s not easy at all. Since this ‘kid’ has to be interviewed, it means that the other interviewees can’t be worse than him!”
