Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1601: Esports Tournament Part 28

"No way!" Zhao Kai’s jaw nearly dropped when he saw a person walking to the center platform.

"Why is he over there?" He pointed his finger at them.

"Oh, isn’t he the most famous streamer?" Lynette widened her eyes slightly. She rarely watched streams because of her career, but she still recognized them because of how often they appeared on television.

"Did you arrange for this?" Carmen was also surprised by their appearance.

In response to their shock and doubt, Xu Feng shrugged. "Don’t look at me with those eyes. He earned his place by his own effort."

While the majority of the crowd recognized him, the person at the center still made sure to greet them enthusiastically.

"Hello, everybody! I hope you’re all having a great day!" They roared into the microphone equipped next to their ear and laughed heartily.

"Your most honest and uncensored streamer, OneManMedia, is here! But for the sake of the event, call me Wei Xing for now!"

Indeed, the emcee for such a major event was none other than Wei Xing.

His fame and unfiltered reports in the media had made him one of the top guns in the media industry.

The World Government also took notice of it and invited him to be an emcee.

After all, his popularity and influence were extremely high. Viewers could be reassured that the event wasn’t biased and that everything was fair with the presence of Wei Xing.

"Damn, his suit looks to be 5 digits! He really knows how to bleed his money." Zhao Kai clicked his tongue. Nevertheless, he still clapped his hands when Wei Xing finished his introduction.

"Who could have imagined Wei Xing to be this influential now?" Carmen giggled and praised him highly. Such a caliber of person was working under their Vanguard Guild.

If that wasn’t called being a proud mom, then what could it be?

"His earning rate is going to be higher than mine." Xu Feng mused. "Should I tax him with some Vanguard Appearance Fee?"

As soon as he finished his jokes, he received disdainful gazes from the other three.

"Stop being such a money-grubber." Zhao Kai found his chance to snub him and wasted no time.

"I don’t think that’ll be a good idea." Lynette was more reserved and suggested otherwise. She could bully Zhao Kai easily, but Xu Feng was a different subject.

"Should I charge you a love fee too?" Carmen was bolder and suggested adding taxes on his intimate actions.

"That cannot do, Carmen." Xu Feng hurriedly wrapped his arm around her shoulder and whispered, "If I have to pay you to do an intimate act, that would mean renting a girlfriend."

BAM!

For the first time ever, Xu Feng received a punch to the stomach and nearly cried mama aloud.

"Pfft, deserved!" Zhao Kai instantly laughed without any filters. It sure was revitalizing to see him get punched.

After all, he still remembered that punch he received from Xu Feng.

Yes, it was a long time ago, but so what?

Revenge was a dish best served cold! Even if 10 years went by, he would still remember that action.

Although the debt had already been repaid, Zhao Kai would still keep that incident to heart.

"Rent a girlfriend, huh. Go and find another one." Carmen pouted in the meantime and tried to fling his stinky hand away, but to no avail. She wasn’t really angry, so there was barely any strength used.

Moreover, Wei Xing had already begun to explain the rules, and it would be rude to talk over him.

"I know everyone must have read the rules on the official site beforehand, but as the emcee, it’s my duty to refresh everyone’s mind!" Wei Xing then made a few jokes and caused the crowd to laugh heartily.

The first battle royale would consist of 200 players dropping in a battle royale map that randomized while their airship continued to fly.

It was a solo battle, so there could be any form of teaming.

However, fighting immediately upon encounter was not required.

"There will be a Mana Storm that constantly shrinks to force players to meet up somewhere. Killing others within the Mana Storm will grant you temporary protection, health restoration, and more!" Wei Xing explained.

To combat the issue of players’ desire to head toward the safe zone rather than fighting inside the Mana Storm, a new feature was included.

As long as they killed someone within the Mana Storm, a protective barrier would be granted alongside a boost in movement speed and mana recovery.

This was a feature that, if players utilized it well, they could change the tide of the battle in their favor.

To demonstrate the explanation well, Wei Xing stepped aside and had the organizer post a clip of the sample.

Within the clip, it showed Wei Xing taking damage from the Mana Storm and killing a dummy player inside the storm.

His health was immediately restored, and he no longer received any Mana Storm damage. Additionally, Wei Xing began to run faster and cast more utility spells to head toward the safe zone.

To end things fashionably, Wei Xing propelled himself toward the safe zone and sliced down the remaining dummy player, earning a Divine Trophy.

"Such a poser..." Zhao Kai had to lower his head in shame.

"Acting like you wouldn’t have done the same thing." Xu Feng snickered coldly.

"Oh, so you would pose like that?" Zhao Kai clicked his tongue and glared at him.

"I can’t pose like that, Kai." He shook his head. "I’m already cool just by existing. What is there to pose?"

Almost immediately, Zhao Kai pretended to vomit everywhere because of his narcissism.

"Please, you’re not Carmen. I’m going to have to vomit all the food I ate from the BBQ restaurant." Zhao Kai covered his mouth and criticized him.

"Don’t you agree with me, Carmen?"

"Huh? But he is cool." Carmen raised an eyebrow and admitted that she found Xu Feng very cool.

’Why did I even ask this love-brained woman?’ Zhao Kai realized he was in the wrong seat all along. He should have been somewhere else, away from these two people.
