Chapter 841: Chapter 841 How about a gamble?
Li Yao walked down through the corridor, while Angel was still ranting about wanting to see the title’s attributes, which Li Yao brushed off.
The very bottom is the edge of the arena, also the place with the best view, and it’s not open to players.
The second row offers the best seats players can get, and although today’s event is just the round of 32, the area is still bustling with excitement.
Besides the VIP seats at the very front, the spectator sections of this arena are divided into three different areas: high, medium, and low grade. The low-grade area is actually quite far from the arena.
Of course, the officials also prepared a stadium in the real world, but it’s not open to the players.
It’s only for spectators who are below level twenty or who have not played the game.
The purpose is quite clear, to attract more people to join the world of “Prosperous Era.”
Therefore, the in-game arena becomes very important, with many players who want to experience the atmosphere or watch the match coming here, though they could also watch the live stream of the match.
But just like watching a sports game, being at the scene and watching a live stream are completely different concepts.
The competitions today will last all day, divided into individual matches during the day and team matches at night. The arena is split into countless small platforms, which serve as the battlegrounds.
This tournament is just a trial, a test run by “Prosperous Era,” so the pace is extremely fast. The world championship will be completed in three days, which shows how tight the schedule is.
Therefore, tickets are very expensive. A ticket for the low-grade spectator section costs five Gold Coins, and they are still in short supply. Each player is limited to one ticket and resale is prohibited.
The middle-grade section requires ten Gold Coins per seat, while the high-grade area, just behind the VIP seats, requires hundreds of Gold Coins per ticket. More importantly, one must have a certain status in one of the three major camps—reputation, military merit, contribution—in order to have the right to purchase them.
And the tickets will be even more expensive tomorrow, but there are just too many wealthy people in “Prosperous Era”; even at such exorbitant prices, the tickets are still in high demand.
“Heh, like a bad penny, you turn up everywhere, bringing bad luck,” Generous General said with disgust upon seeing Li Yao and the others entering the high-grade area.
Angel, who hadn’t seen the title’s attributes and was already in a bad mood, retorted, “Why is it you again, you piece of trash? You’re the bad penny. It’s lucky we’re not sitting here, otherwise we’d lose all mood for watching the match.”
Only General and Beast Speaker from “Prosperous Era” were here, as despite the wealth of “Prosperous Era,” they would not spend so much on a high-grade area just for the sake of the guild’s face. If it weren’t for that, they wouldn’t occupy the high-grade area—it’s damn too expensive.
In fact, other guilds do the same, with at least a vice president coming to hold the fort in the high-grade area.
Generous General was startled, then laughed, “That’s right, a trash guild like ‘Starfire’ with just tens of thousands of people can’t afford such luxury, bringing a dozen or so members to the high-grade area. Okay, have a quick taste of the high-grade area and then leave, don’t delay us watching the match.”
Beast Speaker chuckled, “Forget it, let’s not talk about it. Who the hell would waste their money to come here? ‘Starfire’ is a small guild, no need to vie for this kind of face.”
“Can’t be bothered to stoop to the level of a bunch of bumpkins,” Generous General said with a dismissive wave of his hand.
Angel was furious and about to say something when Li Yao stopped her, saying, “No point talking to a bunch of yokels.”
Li Yao took everyone straight to the VIP area, and just like that, he entered the VIP area to everyone’s astonishment.
“Impossible, how can you guys enter the VIP area?” Prosperous Era’s young master lost his composure instantly. He’d tried every possible means to get into the VIP area, but couldn’t find any way in. Now, to his shock, the bumpkin he looked down upon nonchalantly waltzed in right in front of him, and what’s more, with a dozen players in tow.
“What’s so impossible about it? You really have no clue, loser,” Tongtong retorted with a sneer.
Beast Speaker’s expression turned somewhat embarrassed, while Prosperous Era’s young master was close to freaking out. Today was extremely unlucky for him, meeting Li Yao; nothing was going his way, making him furiously want to lash out.

It finally dawned on the crowd that, in the battle a few days ago, not only did Li Yao earn the rank of General, he also secured the position of one-star battle commander and took control of a high-level camp for players above level forty.
With numerous maps in the ancient gods, someone like Li Yao, now a titled figure, definitely deserved access to the VIP area, at least until the arrival of major figures from various factions.
Watching Li Yao seated in a principal seat, with NPCs serving up all sorts of fruit and beverages, players from the major guilds couldn’t help but feel a mix of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Starfire was exceptionally dazzling, with over a dozen Starfire players standing out in the VIP area; it really made a name for itself, overshadowing the others, and they were utterly helpless.
Apart from Li Yao and the temptress calmly enjoying the exquisite food in front of them, the other Starfire players sat upright and correct, realizing that following their boss indeed promised a bright future. Basking in such widespread attention was absolutely delightful, seeing the envy and longing in people’s eyes. As for any doubtful or well-intentioned gazes, they misinterpreted them as envy and jealousy as well.
Players did feel envious and jealous after all, since most of the players were ordinary people who played the game to seek glory.
The competition started soon after, and indeed, many small platforms appeared in the competitive field below, with a great number of players contesting simultaneously.
Apart from Li Yao, quite a few Starfire players had also entered the world competition and kept competing throughout the day.
Moreover, the quality of the competition had increased significantly. Even Li Yao gained insights while watching the matches and had a clear grasp of the current technical level of the players.
One could say that due to his influence, compared to the same period before his rebirth, the technique was evidently advanced. Watching the matches, Li Yao couldn’t help but reflect, uncertain if his influence would make his life drastically different from his previous one.
An hour later, Starfire’s players started to appear one by one, but the likelihood of running into experts grew, resulting in the continuous elimination of Starfire players.
Around noon, it was finally Tongtong’s turn to take the stage.
“Good luck,” Li Yao patted Tongtong on the head.
“Hehe, I will, big brother. Just watch, I’ve improved a lot,” Tongtong said, and she was teleported to Trial Ground number sixteen, facing a male Mage opponent.
Prosperous Era’s young master, now recovered, sneered, “Bad luck for you, running into the duel king of our guild. Serves you right to be eliminated.”
Angel couldn’t help but turn around and curse, “Idiot, are you done yet? The match hasn’t even started, and you’re already calling the outcome; how can you be so full of it?
Prosperous Era’s young master looked to Beast Speaker, who nodded, and he immediately felt relieved. Then he said, “Of course, I know. But it seems you’re quite confident in your guild’s little girl. How about we place a bet?”…
