Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Online Gaming God VS Affectionate Disciple (Twenty-One)
In short, the forums were in complete uproar, and Gu Shengyin couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath arguing.
After all, there are people who, once they have convinced themselves of something, can look straight at the facts and still refuse to see them.
She was getting ready for the all-server PK tournament.
The rules of the all-server PK tournament were such that the top ten players from each server would be decided, followed by a mix-up of the order, and random pairings for combat. The last fifty standing would be the top fifty players.
Of course, although the top fifty could participate in the player exchange conference, the rankings still needed to be determined.
The top five of Linjiang Immortal were quickly sifted out.
Three of the five players were from Talk and Laugh Itinerant.
They were Rustling Wood, Mountains and Rivers in One Sword, and one called I Just Smile and Stay Silent.
The other two were also long-established experts on the server.
“Rustling Wood God, Mountains and Rivers in One Sword God, I don’t stand much of a chance now. Our Linjiang Immortal is after all the number one server of Spirit Sword Immortal, so the championship depends on you two,” said a player with the ID Whisper with a Light Smile.
As the all-server player PK tournament heatedly progressed, the forum’s voting was also in full swing.
“Unexpectedly, Little Building in the Smoke and Rain’s votes are so high,” Gu Shengyin was surprised.
Little Building in the Smoke and Rain was right there among the top ten.
She was good-looking and proficient in interacting with people, coquettish and cute, which appealed to many male players.
“If some measures aren’t taken, Little Building in the Smoke and Rain could really use this competition to make a comeback,” Gu Shengyin thought to herself.
Previously, Little Building in the Smoke and Rain’s reputation in Linjiang Immortal stank to high heaven, and she didn’t have a good name on the forums either. However, once the voting began, Gu Shengyin had already received several emails, the gist of them all suggesting that Rustling Wood should forgive and forget, to let bygones be bygones.
“Indeed, it’s a world that looks at faces,” Gu Shengyin lamented quietly.
System: “You are called the most perfect creation; I should be the only one to hear such talk. Don’t let others find out.” Be careful you don’t get hit.
Gu Shengyin: “…Besides you, who has seen what I look like?”
System: “Actually, with so many people on the forums speaking up for Little Building in the Smoke and Rain, according to human thinking, it is simply because she is attractive and fragile, while you, Rustling Wood, are top of the PK leaderboards, powerful to the point of being unrivaled, and your appearance doesn’t invoke pity. Humans like to sympathize with the underdog.”
Gu Shengyin with a small smile: “In the end, it still boils down to looks.”
“Alas, it seems that I must indeed participate in the player exchange conference. Otherwise, I might truly become a vicious and heartless person,” Gu Shengyin reflected.
Since Little Building in the Smoke and Rain wanted to use her looks to win over the support of the male player base, she was going to make her lose that last advantage as well.
“This is so frustrating. I’ve always relied on ability to speak for me, never imagined that one day, I would have to rely on looks,” Gu Shengyin pretended to be troubled.
System: “…Host, please don’t destroy your character setting.” It always felt like the host had contracted some bizarre illness.
Gu Shengyin sighed inwardly, feeling that having maintained a stone-faced expression in front of Shen Xiaoxiao for too long had somehow made her own behavior a little abnormal.
The two grand events lasted a whole month.
By the time the forum poll finally concluded, the PK tournament had also decided its ultimate results.
Almost as everyone expected.
Rustling Wood claimed the championship of the all-server PK tournament, with Mountains and Rivers in One Sword coming in second after a close defeat.
With both the first and second place held by Linjiang Immoral, the realm’s status as the number one server was fully demonstrated.
