The shock didn't end there!
The enemy's Athena, Xiao Qiao, Gongsun Li have the game IDs [ Silver Dragon ], [ Phoenix ], and [ Mountain Lord ]!
Su Hang's pupils dilated, and his brain instantly lost its ability to think. This was because, apart from the extremely familiar Imperial Crown Team logo and game ID, the intimacy relationships of the four people on the other side were exactly the same as his previous relationships with the Silver Dragon trio!
Imperial Emperor ↔ Silver Dragon (Level 99 Brother)
Imperial Emperor ↔ Phoenix (Level 520 Couple)
Imperial Emperor ↔ Mountain Lord (Class of '88 best friend)
"If Mulan on the other side is Imperial Emperor, then who am I?"
Su Hang was completely dumbfounded. His blue brain was racing, going from the origin of species to the Industrial Revolution to advanced mathematics, and finally exploded.
But soon!
"No arguing!"
Su Hang discovered something suspicious. First, [ Silver Dragon ], [ Phoenix ], and [ Mountain Lord ] had left the Imperial Crown Team nine years ago, and their intimacy relationships with the three's Android Q Zone accounts had been unbound and reset to zero!
Secondly, and most importantly, their team, Imperial Crown, is the national champion team, not just a national team. The difference between the two words is enormous. The former is the number one team in the country, while the latter is one of the top two hundred teams in the country!
in other words.
The accounts on the other side, " Imperial Emperor," " Silver Dragon," " Phoenix," and " Mountain Lord," are all high-quality fake game accounts. The so-called intimacy relationships and the so-called Imperial Crown Team are all counterfeit!
At this very moment, the live stream chat is scrolling rapidly!
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! What am I seeing? The Mulan on the other side is Imperial Emperor- level boss?"
"And there's the Three Champion Emperors! My goodness, it's like going back to Season 1 of King of Glory, when the Imperial Emperor led his three vice-captains in team battles!"
"Damn it! In the Thousand Star Promotion Tournament, Exalted Emperor didn't run into Imperial Emperor. In a perfectly ordinary team match, Exalted Emperor's top player actually ran into Imperial Emperor, and also bumped into the Three Champion Emperors!"
"Brothers, don't get excited! The opponents are indeed Imperial Emperor and Three Champion Emperors, but these Imperial Emperor and Three Champion Emperors are not the same as those Imperial Emperor and Three Champion Emperors."
"Hey buddy upstairs, stop playing dumb, tell me what's going on?"
"I'm sure everyone has seen [ The Imperial Emperor's Counterattack Glory ], right? It's that e-sports short drama about Honor of Kings. That's right! The four players on the other side are the actors who played the Imperial Emperor and the Three Champion Emperors in the short drama!"
Su Hang noticed this comment and asked suspiciously, "A short drama about Imperial Emperor's Counterattack Glory?"
The official live stream of "[ Imperial Emperor's Counterattack Glory ]" on Douyin.
The venue was packed with people, and the number of online viewers exceeded two million.
" Zhou Keyu's husband is forever a god! He truly brought to life the domineering and arrogant aura of Imperial Emperor who looked down upon the world and believed himself to be the only one who mattered!"
"I initially thought Zhou Keyu was a crossover actor with subpar acting skills, but he delivered a phenomenal performance in the short drama, showcasing award-winning acting ability. He's at least 70% similar to the Imperial Emperor- like deity I imagined!"
"The three actors who played the Three Champion Emperors also gave incredibly convincing performances, perfectly portraying the Silver Dragon God's extravagance, the Phoenix Boss's tenderness, and the Mountain Lord Lord's gentle elegance!"
" Zhou Keyu's debut was his peak; with this phenomenal hit short drama, he directly rose to the ranks of top-tier celebrities!"
"Ahhh, I can't take it anymore! This is my 100th viewing of [ The Imperial Emperor's Counterattack Glory ], the super-exciting storyline is so addictive!"
"I wonder if the Imperial Emperor himself has seen this short drama, and what his thoughts are?"
Inside the live stream room.
Looking at the barrage of praise on the screen, Zhou Keyu's handsome face lit up with joy. As his first work after transitioning from a child star to an actor, it was impossible not to be proud of the phenomenal success.
"I really envy you, Keyu. You used to be a child prodigy who could drink a bottle of Coke in 6 seconds, and now you're a hot top actor," Wen Ning, who plays Phoenix, one of the Three Champion Emperors, laughed.
"It's supposed to be 6 seconds to get into character, you know!" Zhou Keyu slapped his forehead, his face full of exasperation. "And what's with drinking a bottle of Coke in 6 seconds?"
"Am I mistaken?" Wen Ning rested her chin on her hand, recalling, "When you were 8 years old, you participated in the [ Shining Child Star ] competition, and in front of the audience, you seemed to have finished a bottle of cola in 6 seconds."
Zhou Keyu said helplessly, "That's because the judges asked me to improvise a hiccup. Cola contains carbon dioxide, which stimulates the diaphragm and triggers hiccups when drunk."
"You're quite clever; I definitely wouldn't have thought of that."
"Is she smart?"
Zhou Keyu recalled the little boy who won the [ Shining Child Star ] competition that year. Even though ten years had passed, he still remembered him vividly, and the boy's words, "Put more effort and use your brain," were etched in his mind.
"Anyway, I'm not the smartest child star."
Wen Ning, resting her chin on her hand, said, " Ayu, you were the runner-up in the Shining Child Star, second only to that guy... what was his name again? It's been so long I've forgotten."
Zhou Keyu said softly, " Su Hang."
"Yes, Su Hang!" Wen Ning exclaimed, her memories flooding back. "That little brother is really amazing! He can sing, dance, rap, play basketball—he's proficient in everything! And he's a real actor too! He can switch from laughing to crying and back again in just six seconds. It's unforgettable. He's a born actor!"
"But why did he retire after winning the championship?"
Zhou Keyu said calmly, "His purpose in participating in Shining Child Star was for the 1 million yuan prize money; he himself had no intention of becoming an actor."
"For money? Wow! What a vulgar reason. It seems he was tainted by the adult world long ago."
A voice came from beside him, " Keyu, Sister Wen, everything's ready here, we can start the team battle."
"OK, I'll start now."
Zhou Keyu clicked the match button.
Because of the recent high level of news about the Imperial Emperor's advancement to the Thousand Star rank, the publicity company specially invited the original team from their game "[ Imperial Emperor's Counterattack Glory ]" to do a live broadcast of Honor of Kings.
On one hand, it's for publicity, and on the other hand, it's to generate buzz for the new drama series [ The Imperial Emperor's Counterattack Glory 2 ].
Although it's just a 100-episode free e-sports short drama, the production team invested a huge amount of money in it.
Not only did they spend a fortune to invite talented actors, such as the hit queen Wen Ning, but they also spent a fortune to invite gaming industry figures, including top streamers Zhang Daxian and Lü Dehua, KPL professional players Maoshen and Huahai, and professional commentators and referees Ling Li and Jiutianyun, who made guest appearances.
Most importantly, this short drama received free authorization and strong support from the official [ Imperial Crown Team ].
The game matchmaking is very fast, starting and entering the game almost instantly.
The hero banning phase is over.
Zhou Keyu didn't hesitate to choose Mulan as his hero.
"You're going to just pull out your top-ranked Mulan character?" Wen Ning asked, tilting his head in surprise. "Could it be that you've already embodied the [ Imperial Emperor ] character with your special skill that lets you drink a bottle of cola in 6 seconds?"
"It takes six seconds to get into character."
Zhou Keyu crumbled instantly.
"But Keyu, I remember you only started playing King of Glory of Glory for filming [ Imperial Emperor's Counterattack Glory ], right? You only played for a month?"
Zhou Keyu nodded and said, "Mhm."
Wen Ning said with great interest, "You won the national championship for Mulan in just one month, and you're even number one on the leaderboard. The professional players I've played with all say you have the potential to become a top-tier player. You have amazing gaming talent!"
Zhou Keyu shook his head and said, "I have no talent for gaming."
Wen Ning's expression was strange as he said, "In just one month, your rank went from Bronze to Legendary King, your Peak Tournament went from 1200 to 2600, Mulan's combat power increased from 0 to 20000, making you the number one player in the national server. You're saying you have no talent?"
"I was merely immersing myself in the role of the Imperial Emperor!" Zhou Keyu said, his eyes gleaming. "Studying him, understanding him, becoming him—my so-called top-tier gaming talent was just a bonus after playing the Imperial Emperor."
"I see." Wen Ning focused on Xiao Qiao and asked, "From your perspective, what kind of person do you think the Imperial Emperor was in reality?"
