The Road to Champion of the King of Spirits

Chapter 16 Reaching the semi-finals is a success
Only in this sentence, Chen Mu can speak according to his own conscience, he really has no pretense.

Because he is really not very keen on his job as an Internet celebrity.

Now he spends less than an hour on Xingbo every day, probably not as long as his fans.

Generally, I post a few life photos of croaking frogs on a regular basis, and upload a made-up memoir in the mountains every once in a while.

This is what Lin Yirou asked him to do.

Because of his slow typing, he seldom communicates with fans online after the initial novelty.

Not to mention that he never took the initiative to engage in hype marketing.

So far, Suicune's name has never appeared in the few memoirs he wrote, so many fans on the Internet have given him new nicknames such as "unfilial son" and "Ma Jian Da".

But even so, the number of his fans is still increasing steadily, and it doubles and skyrockets when the promotional film is released. The experienced operation officers of Frozen Bird Media who watched it also call him a good guy.

Is this the legendary Buddhist marketing, lying flat and increasing followers?

However, Lin Yirou and the others were not idle, and quickly took advantage of the surge in fans to arrange for Chen Mu's first live broadcast.

The goods he brought this time were mainly elf rations and snacks. In this world, these are daily necessities that are consumed a lot in daily life. Everyone usually needs them. They are not useless products for IQ tax, so the effect of the first live broadcast is quite good.

At the same time, an interesting incident happened in the middle of his live broadcast:
When Chen Mu sells a snack bar that cat spirits eat, Lin Yirou uses the subtitle board outside the camera to remind him to play freely, and the water will last for a long time.

At that time, the shooting location happened to be in the kitchen of his own home, surrounded by some tree berries, meat sauce and dried fish that he usually bought to make rations for croaking frogs.

He glanced at the recipe of this snack bar and thought it was quite simple, so he simply tried to imitate one in front of the camera.

Because the formula on the package of snacks definitely does not know how to write the steps, so Chen Mu was completely improvising at the time, and didn't think too much at all.

As a result, when he was done, Lin Yirou rushed the few meows he found to try to the camera together, all three of them without exception chose the snack that Chen Mu made now, and even fought on the spot to fight over it, even using the skill "Random Catch".

And the few branded snack sticks that had been unpacked next to it didn't care about it, and the sidelines were very embarrassing for a time...

At that time, the live broadcast room with not too many people was full of jokes such as "Hahahaha", "Large car accident scene", "Party A's nemesis", and "RNM money back".

So after this live broadcast, Chen Mu inexplicably added a series of titles, such as "Party A's Nemesis", "Brand Bustard", "Cat Friend", etc...

However, according to the final statistics, the sales volume of the goods he brought this time was unexpectedly good, which helped him relieve a lot of financial pressure, and the down payment owed to Lin Yirou was also successfully paid off through this live broadcast.

Afterwards, even though Frozen Bird Media was still trying to help him find endorsements everywhere, Chen Mu's own energy and focus were no longer on it.

Because the spirit competition that Lin Yirou helped him sign up for was finally about to start.

This event called "Golden Autumn Cup" is hosted by Ming Provincial TV Station and co-organized by many well-known enterprises in the province. This year is the ninth year it has been held.

In terms of level, this "Golden Autumn Cup" is a semi-professional event, so all non-governmental players can sign up, regardless of the conditions.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the level of the World Elf Athletics.

Because in the current era, elf competition is already the undisputed number one competition in the world, almost all the people participate, and the popularity crushes all traditional competitions, so there are extraordinarily many competitions.

At the same time, due to the great differences in the level of trainers at different levels of Spirit Athletics, the specifications of the competitions have also been clearly subdivided, and even the rules used in different levels of competitions are different.

There are currently three levels of mainstream competitions——

The highest level is the T1 league.

There are only the UEFA Cup organized by the major leagues once a year; the Champions Cup held every two years with clubs as the main participants; and the World Cup held every four years with the league teams as the main participants.

The venue for the T1 league is the largest, with a size of 90x45 meters, which is comparable to a standard football field.

At the same time, in the T1 league, the number of skills that can be used by elves in a single game will be limited.

Because the skill list of elves that can participate in this level of competition is quite gorgeous, with more than [-] skills at every turn. If they are not restricted, they can drag the game for an extremely long time in a disadvantaged situation, causing tons of critical blows to the bladders of the audience...

Below T1, it is a professional league.

Most of the events at this level are clubs as the main body, and they are often the qualifiers for the higher-level T1 league.

For example, if you want to participate in the biennial Champions Cup, you must first get a ranking in the professional competitions in the league.

The standard venue of the professional league is a circle smaller than that of the T1 league, and there are also restrictions on the number of skills of the elves in a single game.

Below the professional level, there is the third level of semi-professional league.

This level has the most competitions, including various college competitions, regional competitions, title competitions, city competitions and so on.

The playing field used by the semi-professional league is only 60x30 meters, which is almost the size of four basketball courts, and there is no restriction on the skills of elves, which is the most friendly game.

However, both are semi-professional leagues, and there will be a huge gap in the scale and popularity of their events, and the levels are uneven.

Some leagues are held just like e-sports Internet cafe competitions, and the main focus is only a sense of participation.

However, some competitions can still have gold content, such as the "Golden Autumn Cup" that Chen Mu has signed up for.

Although the name of this competition sounds a bit vulgar, but because it is hosted by a provincial TV station, the Sea Carp Club, the most famous elf sports club in Ming Province, has been invited to serve as judges.

From the second session onwards, the semi-finalists of this competition will be able to steadily receive invitations from the Sea Carp Club, enter their youth training camp, and become a professional backup, thus greatly raising the level of competition in this competition.

What Lin Yirou and Chen Mu said before: You can make your debut after getting the ranking, which means that the top four in this competition will be able to steadily obtain the qualifications to enter the youth training camp of the Sea Carp Club and become the reserve trainer of the youth training team.

This kind of competition that can bring hope for personal advancement to the players is the highest level in the semi-professional competition. It is often called a ticket competition by the audience, meaning that if you win, you can get a ticket to enter the profession.

So for Chen Mu, the goal of this battle is also very clear——

Reaching the semi-finals is considered a success!
