Tempest of the Stellar War - Chapter 723

Chapter 723




After so long, Ailun knew quite a few as well, but to get someone on the level of Zhang Ziyan was impossible . Mu Guang's connections were indeed impressive . In the end, Yao Ailun had not been in the scene for long, and after all he was just a student .

But this activity had a lot of promotional value, and the viewership was also very high . Therefore, Yao Ailun had sent out a few invitations to those CT celebrities who he admired, but he had only received 1 response, and they had asked for a fee .

Yao Ailun could only accept, because he had no choice . If he had gone to find Old Deer, perhaps things would be different, but he did not want to do that . He was not trash, and he would find his own way, step by step .

The celebrity invitational had already begun in the morning, and Mu Guang was indeed dominating it . With his and Sun Tianxiong's ability, plus Zhang Ziyan's popularity, they had earned more than 20 million CT "mecha cookies" . In second place was "High Smile" with 9 million, and Yao Ailun was in third place . Thanks to Prince's popularity, he had about 6 million, and Mu Guang was targeting everybody .

The battles were easy . Zhang Ziyan just had to choose a support type mecha . Although she was a girl, but her handling was still good . Actually Sun Tianxiong alone could win 1v3, and Mu Guang's ability was also top-class within the commentators .

High Smile was also a commentator that had become famous recently, named after his extremely comical style . He had invited Flight's team captain ligo, who was well within the top 5 among professional players . As for his celebrity, he had invited Earth's very popular comedian Xiao Deyun . The three fought and laughed at the same time, their styles in harmony . They had attracted a large number of fun-loving people .

Yao Ailun had also won two consecutive matches . After all, it was an exhibition match, and nobody would take it that seriously . And Yao Ailun's star was Li Zhuoer, who was also rather famous on Earth . Although her CT standard was not as good as Zhang Ziyan, but her temper was great, and her reputation even greater .

"Yao Ailun what the hell is wrong with you . You're only ranked 3rd . The two of you are really trash . Let me tell you something . I came here to take 1st place . That skank Zhang Ziyan actually dares to get ahead of me!"

In the recess room, Li Zhuoer was throwing a tantrum, and Yao Ailun and Prince could only look at each other . Neither had expected the sweet and warm Li Zhuoer to be so hard to please in person .

"Keke, Sister Li…"

"You're the sis! Your whole family are sissies! Which part of me looks like a 'sister'? I heard your reputation was big, and a disciple of Old Deer, which was why I came . But now I've suffered half a day as some prop . Besides, you're supposed to invite a professional player . What's a professional player? It's someone who is popular, and top class . Not some old relic!"




Li Zhuoer stared at Prince . She held no interest at all in this guy past his time .

"Change him out, or do without me for the evening's competition . "

"Miss Li, didn't we agree beforehand? I've also paid your fee . "

"What, aren't I here? And to have disgraced myself for the day as well . " Li Zhuoer was turning ugly now .

From the side, the manager quickly came over to support her . "Yao Ailun, it's not that I have anything against you personally, but you didn't handle this very fairly . We thought this was arranged by Old Deer, and we would be treated well . But look how it all turned out . We're just setting up Zhang Ziyan for success . Our Li Zhuoer has become a prop . You're alone for the night . Our Zhuoer is not feeling well, and needs rest . "

In the recess room only Prince and Yao Ailun were left, and the lunchbox that Li Zhuoer had overturned .

Yao Ailun was indeed feeling down . It seemed like he was nothing in others' eyes .

Prince smiled slightly, patting Yao Ailun's shoulder . "Don't mind it too much . If you like CT, you must learn to endure . "

"Sorry to have dragged you into this . "

Prince shook his head . "Actually everybody thinks I should quit . Do you know why I haven't left?"



Yao Ailun raised his head and looked at Prince . He had no idea why, and was curious . Clearly, Prince was not short on money, and was also popular . Why stay here to be snubbed by the newcomers? If he retired, he could do anything he wanted easily, and his status and position would give him face anywhere . But if he did not retire, then he had to follow the professional rules . And especially against someone like Sun Tianxiong, who loved to break the famous names .

"Actually there's not much to it . I just like it . " Prince smiled . "A long time ago, I doubted as well . I even thought about changing fields at one point . Back then, Earth's CT was still unpopular, and I could not earn much . But a certain person's appearance changed everything . I found that I loved the feeling of battle . If my experience can help a newcomer just a little, then my presence is still of value . "

Yao Ailun was not sure how to respond . There was nobody who loved CT more than Prince .

"Also, sometimes, one should ask when one needs help . Friends are for such occasions . " Prince smiled . He wanted Yao Ailun to look for Old Deer . Yao Ailun was still young, and needed a boost . Friends would not begrudge such things .

Yao Ailun stared at Prince . "Thank you . I know what to do!"

"Haha, alright, then I'm going out for a walk . "

In the net café, everyone was talking about this and that, but Wang Zheng found out that Yao Ailun had spoken rightly . His competition was not trivial, and this was no longer the amateur scene .

In school, Chen Xiu was still rallying a bunch of people to support Yao Ailun . Voting happened throughout the day, and only the most popular could enter the night's fight . Only they had no expected that Yao Ailun would encounter someone pulling out .

No wall could truly block the wind . Very quickly, the news spread on the web that Li Zhuoer had withdrawn from the match because she was not feeling well . And this was an invitational match . If somebody withdrew, a replacement was needed . But at this time, who could be found?

Surely nobody would be willing to take this up .

Ever since Yao Ailun had struck out alone, he had encountered all sorts of difficulties, but the audience did not care about these . They only cared about Zhang Ziyan .

Wang Zheng's Skylink rang . It was from Yao Ailun .

Once through, Yao Ailun started to wail . "Wang Zheng, your brothers are getting bullied . What to do? Help me get back on my feet!"

Wang Zheng smiled slightly . "What do you have in mind?"

"F*ck, the water here is really deep…"

Yao Ailun laid out the situation for Wang Zheng, and Wang Zheng understood . He smiled . "Wait for my news . Tonight, we'll play together . "

"Right!"

Yao Ailun wanted Wang Zheng to be the star . After all, Skeleton was the creator of CT's glory, and also the most famous amateur player . Although it had been a while, but surely some of the audience would know him . The important thing was to overcome the immediate hurdle .

Yao Ailun also heaved a sigh of relief . It seemed like the crisis was over .

He went out to look for Prince, but as he turned the corner, he came face to face with Mu Guang and his cronies .

"Ah . Isn't this super Ailun? I heard you ran into some trouble . Do you need my help?" Mu Guang taunted .

"No need . "

"Keke, if you do, don't stand on ceremony . Don't be the one who makes the entire program falter . That would be fairly unprofessional . " Mu Guang said .

"I can handle this . "

"Haha, it must be Old Deer then . Tsk tsk, our super Ailun is really something . He can't even walk after being separated from Old Deer . "

Mu Guang had been resentful that Yao Ailun had stolen his best anchor prize the last time, and had been looking to get back at him . Finally after Old Deer had taken a step back, his opportunity had come .

"Birds of a feather flock together . It looks like he can only find those things hanging on to life, like Prince . " Sun Tianxiong was only 18, and very young . He was filled with a sense of power and the arrogance of youth . He could beat a guy like Prince with 1 hand tied behind his back .

Yao Ailun smiled slightly . "The day will come when you get old too . Some people command respect even when they grow old . Others will forever live only as a negative example . "

"Respect? From your paltry popularity? Are you joking?"

"Friend Ailun, is the likes of Li Zhuoer a bird of the same feather as well?" Zhang Ziyan simpered . A gentle enough phrase, but it hid a sharp knife that cut deep .

Yao Ailun smiled bitterly . There was nothing more to be said . This girl was not only pretty, but was dangerous as well .

At this moment, the fans surged in, and Mu Guang immediately changed to a warm and welcoming expression .

Yao Ailun knew the fans were not there for him . He had to find Prince to discuss the night's match .
