By the End, the Screen Was Filled with 248
Huaguo.
The once bustling streets have lost their usual hustle and bustle, with only a few pedestrians hurrying by, but they also occasionally glance down at their phone screens.
Because the God Hunt will be launching their fourth Mixed National Team Competition today, the government has specially added a temporary holiday.
At this moment, most people are staying at home preparing to watch the live broadcast of this Mixed-Team Competition.

Ji Yang skillfully adjusted the equipment, and as soon as he started the live stream, a group of people instantly flooded into the Livestream Room.
[Wow, so many people! Lao Ji, you're really famous now!]
[That's true, the Streamer used to be quite popular on this platform, okay?]
[It's different. Lao Ji used to be popular only in the horror game community, but now he's become popular beyond that.]
Ji Yang's lips curled slightly, but he pressed his hand down. "Hey, keep it low-key. Whether it's popular or not doesn't really matter. My goal has always been to bring more high-quality commentary to our family members."
[Oh ho, you've actually put on an act.]
[Fine, let the kid show off a bit.]
[The Streamer is still understated. Everyone come to me, I'll show you a bigger one.]
[The abacus beads in front of me all hit my face.]
Ji Yang smiled, and seeing that the atmosphere had been lively, he said seriously, "Actually, we still have to thank a certain '248' big shot."
Even the Streamer has changed their tune.
[Nothing special. If there were a player popularity ranking, I reckon 248 would be number one right now.]
Indeed, Xu Xi has single-handedly supported countless Streamers and marketing accounts.
[I wonder if any other player can clear five Dungeons in just half a month?]
[Speaking of Xu Xi also participated in the Mixed-Team Competition selection this time. I wonder if she will be selected.]
Ji Yang replied to the comments, "Yeah, very few players choose to actively run Dungeons. Except for those with powerful Items or who are confident in their own strength, most people passively wait for the seven-day forced matchmaking. I think it's normal for me to change my tune if someone can clear five Dungeons in half a month."
Seeing the comment speculating Xu Xi would be selected for the Mixed-Team Competition, Ji Yang paused before continuing, "... It's hard to say. There are over eight thousand players who passed the selection this time; the randomness is too great."
[Actually, I really hope we can choose Xu Xi.]
[Add 1. Although there are many skilled players, none of them possess the unique sense of security that Xu Xi has.]
[If I choose another player, I'll be worried they'll be harmed by players from other countries.]
[What if we choose Xu Xi?]
I'll see who's foolish enough to provoke this cunning shrew.
[This is hilarious!]
[Xu Xi is just a bit aloof, holds grudges, and is a bit cunning, but he's actually a pretty good person, as long as you don't mess with him.]
[After provoking him: His battle record is verifiable (I still can't forget the triple kill in the inn Dungeon)]
The chat was buzzing with discussion, with most people debating which player they hoped would be selected in this Mixed-Team Competition.
Among the comments, those nominating Xu Xi were the most numerous.
Ji Yang was not involved.
To be honest, he didn't really want Xu Xi to be chosen.
Ji Yang enabled the multi-screen function.
At this moment, both Livestream Rooms displayed on the page are black, but each already has a considerable number of active comments.
The one on the left is a public Livestream Room provided by God Hunt. Selected players will be displayed together in this Livestream Room via a small screen.
In other words, viewers from different countries cannot enter individual players' Livestream Room; they can only watch this large Livestream Room.
The advantage is that viewers can watch all the players' live streams from a god-like perspective without switching screens. The disadvantage is that comments from different countries are mixed together, creating a chaotic mess.
If it weren't for the language barrier, it would be fine, but what's really strange is that the comments from other countries would automatically be translated into the user's language.
This resulted in not only chaotic battles between players during each Mixed-Team Competition, but also a massive online chat frenzy.
The one on the right is the official CCTV commentary channel, which provides live commentary on this Mixed-Team Competition.
The next second, the screen on the right lit up.

China Central Television).
The two hosts, Yao Han and Jiang Jin, were dressed in formal attire and sat upright on the sofa on the left.
Having worked together many times, the two have a great understanding of each other.
Jiang Jin smiled and said, "Hello everyone, this is the live commentary broadcast of the 4th Mixed National Team Competition, hosted by China Media Group. I am your host Jiang Jin."
Yao Han continued, "I am the host Yao Han. Today, we gather here to witness once again a pinnacle showdown between nations."
Jiang Jin glanced at the people opposite him. "Those who watched the first three live broadcasts should already be familiar with the two experts sitting across from us."
Yao Han introduced them one by one, "On the left is Professor Lin Miao, a leading scholar in the Department of Psychology at B University, and also a criminal profiler who has solved century-old cold cases. On the right is Mr. Luo Zongyun, the president of the Mystical Culture Research Society, and currently a leading figure in interdisciplinary research on paranormal phenomena."
Jiang Jin: "This time, let's follow the guidance of our two experts and step into the dual world of psychology and the supernatural, building a bridge between reason and the supernatural."
Lin Miao and Luo Zongyun then waved to the camera, saying, "Hello everyone."
[It's starting, it's starting, let me reserve a seat]
[Last time they drew twelve countries, I wonder how many they'll draw this time, and whether Huaguo will be included again.]
[It's definitely going to happen; it happened the first three times, and several major powers have always been on it.]
[So nervous]
[I wonder which player will be chosen this time.]
[It's here! God Hunt are starting to select nations and players!]
The large screen in the very center suddenly lit up.
Jiang Jin immediately spoke up, "It seems that God Hunt is about to begin selecting the participating countries and players."
Lin Miao said equally seriously, "Let's wait and see what the contestants have to say."
As soon as the words were spoken, the two hosts, the two experts, and all the viewers in the Livestream Room held their breath and stared intently at the big screen.
Hundreds of dazzling country logos spun rapidly, and after nearly a minute, only eleven country logos remained on the screen, with Huaguo prominently among them.
The player's name displayed immediately after "Huaguo" surprised everyone.
[Wow! It's Xu Xi, the big shot!!]

Beautiful Country.
Ilira sat cross-legged on the yoga mat, stirring her coffee, and watching with great interest the comments from various countries on the black screen opposite her.
[I can't believe we lost to the Three-Color Countries and Huaguo in the previous two Mixed-Team Competitions. This time, our players will definitely avenge our defeat (IP: Beautiful Country)]
[Arrogant guy, stop talking big. While the Three-Color Country got lucky, luck is also part of ability. And that kid from Huaguo, needless to say, at his age you probably couldn't even properly handle something as simple as peeing. (IP United States)]
[Hopefully, Sigismund will be selected; he is one of the best players in our country (IP Hans Country)]
[Our players certainly won't let us down (IP Grease Country)]
[Wow, so many people!. jpg (IP Huaguo)]
[I'm willing to sacrifice my son's future 10 years of single life to beg God Hunt to choose Kid Brother again!! (IP Huaguo)]
[Oh my god, how could there be such a terrible father? You are awful! (IP United States)]
[Nervous, nervous! I wonder which player (IP Huaguo) our Huaguo is?]
Countless bullet comments from different IPs vanished in an instant like fireworks, but the bullet comments from Huaguo IPs were the most numerous, mainly because the number of people displayed in the upper right corner showed that Huaguo firmly held the top spot with 1.08 billion.
Ilira burst into laughter at some of the comments.
Just then, the previously black screen suddenly started flickering.
"It's finally starting." Ilira sat up straight immediately.
Under her tense gaze, the logos of eleven countries slowly came to a stop on the screen.
However, before she could even see who the contestant from their Beautiful Country was, the IP showed that the number of comments from Huaguo surged within a single second, completely overshadowing the comments from all other countries.
[Holy crap, am I blind? Who are our Huaguo competitors??? (IP Huaguo)]
[Ah, it's Xu Xi, the great master!! (IP Huaguo)]
[Holy crap! Holy crap!! Haha, this Mixed-Team Competition is a sure thing!! (IP Huaguo)]
[Sorry, kid, you're still young. This competition is too brutal for your brother Xu Xi. Xu Xi is awesome!! (voice cracks) (IP Huaguo)]
[Booming and bustling, 248, rise up!! (IP Huaguo)]
[248!248!248!(Huaguo)]
Later on, the screen was filled with 248 characters, densely packed together. Although it was just text, it sounded exceptionally deafening.
Ilira's hand, which was stirring her coffee, stopped involuntarily as she stared in disbelief at the surreal scene before her.
"Xu Xi...248..." Ilira murmured, "That sounds familiar."
The next second, she suddenly opened her eyes wide.
She remembered—it was that Huaguo player who completed the Dungeon 2 minutes and 48 seconds on his first try, setting a new Guinness World Record!

Ji Yang Livestream Room.
[Holy crap!! It really is Xu Xi!!]
[Oh my god! Oh my god! (gesturing wildly) (speechless) (screaming and yelling)]
[I bet! I bet! Haha! I'm going to try my luck with the gold after the pro Dungeon ends!]
[Giggle, tremble, foreign friends! After the little kid, you're about to welcome another cunning sly one!]
Ji Yang never expected that Xu Xi would actually be selected for this Mixed-Team Competition.
He looked at the God Hunt Livestream Room, which was almost entirely filled with the number 248, and his tense nerves slowly relaxed. In the end, he typed 248 in the Livestream Room.
If I've been selected, then I've been selected.
He believed that the other party would eventually be the one to survive.
