No One Applauds Me, So I'll Applaud Myself! Tencent's Vice President Attends Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor in Person!
All the spotlights shone on the VIP passage on the east side.
The blood-eyed youth, dressed in the golden uniform of the Sovereign Dominion, clapped his hands and walked onto the stage, his shadow stretching infinitely and merging into the dark and desolate eastern audience seats.
For a moment, tens of thousands of Imperial Crown's fans were stunned. The Sovereign Dominion section behind Exalted Emperor was clearly empty, but it seemed to be full of people. It was just that there were no lights and it was hidden in the darkness, so they could not see them.
"Holy crap? Exalted Emperor's mental fortitude is amazing! Nobody else is applauding or cheering for me, but I'm applauding and cheering for myself? That's pretty impressive!"
"Hiss... Is Exalted Emperor wearing red contact lenses? His eyes are completely bloodshot; I have to say, it's a bit scary."
"What the hell? Am I possessed? Or maybe it's just my imagination? Why does it feel like the Sovereign Dominion fan section is completely full?"
"Same here, same here. I even have the urge to join the Sovereign Dominion fan club."
"I've thought of a dozen ways to mock Exalted Emperor's arrival, but now that I see Exalted Emperor, all the words I was about to say are swallowed back down. My subconscious tells me I can't laugh."
"Huh? Unlike the Overlord Feast and the Clash of Kings, the feeling I got from Exalted Emperor's Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor ceremony tonight was strange. It seemed like he wasn't there for the honor of Champion Emperor, but rather for revenge against someone!"
On stage, Ying Kai looked on with newfound respect. Exalted Emperor's self-applause was a testament to his strong mental fortitude, as such an act would inevitably draw boos and jeers from Imperial Crown's fans...
Ying Kai glanced at the completely silent Imperial Crown fan section, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, " The Imperial Crown fans didn't mock Exalted Emperor?"
The Imperial Crown's fans are of varying quality, and there are bound to be some low-quality fans who mock Exalted Emperor. But right now, not a single person has uttered a word of mockery, and tens of thousands of eyes are fixed on Exalted Emperor as he steps onto the stage.
" Silver Dragon, Mountain Lord."
Su Hang's bloodshot eyes flashed with coldness as he swept over the ruthless faces of Yin Long and Hu Xiao, finally settling on the young woman with a heart-shaped diamond pendant hanging from her earlobe. His fist slowly clenched, " Phoenix!"
These three former close friends and loved ones are now mortal enemies. This time, he will not be as merciful as he was nine years ago, but will punish them with the cruelest trial.
"And Nurarihyon."
Su Hang looked at Lin Ying. Ten years ago, at a bus stop in Jiangcheng, Lin Ying found his phone. To express his gratitude, he bought Lin Ying a phone, installed Honor of Kings, and thus began Lin Ying's evil journey in the King of Glory.
"And the other eight core members of Imperial Crown."
Su Hang's bloodshot eyes swept coldly over the seats of the core members of Imperial Crown below the stage. Although they were all wearing zodiac-themed disguise masks, he knew their real identities.
"I will repay you with a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and blood for blood, making you wish you were dead."
Su Hang walked to the east side of the stage, turned around, and faced the Imperial Crown fan section with his hands behind his back. His dazzling gold Sovereign Dominion team uniform had the Sovereign Dominion team emblem " Sovereign Five Elements Wheel " printed on the left chest and the sponsor logo [ Coca-Cola ] printed on the right chest.
Compared to the Imperial Crown's team uniforms, which are covered with the logos of dozens of sponsors, the Sovereign Dominion team uniforms are much more "stingy and shabby," with only Coca-Cola as a sponsor.
There was a lot of discussion among the Imperial Crown fans.
"What?! Coca-Cola is the only sponsor of Sovereign Dominion?!"
"What else did you think? Didn't you see our Imperial Crown's announcement? Which brand dares to sponsor Sovereign Dominion? Our Imperial Crown will call on hundreds of millions of fans to boycott it. Only Coca-Cola, with its big and powerful company, dares to go against the grain."
"Even Coca-Cola couldn't hold on. After they announced their sponsorship of the Sovereign Dominion Team, their stock price plummeted by 2% that day, wiping out 30 billion RMB in market value."
"To be honest, I quite like Coca-Cola. Pepsi-Cola is too sweet; I really don't like drinking it."
"Have you ever even drunk a damn Pepsi-Cola? You idiot, get out of here, and don't even mention being a fan of our Imperial Crown Team."
"Brothers, look! Look! Our current captain of Imperial Crown, Jueying, is about to sign a betting agreement with Captain of Sovereign Dominion."
The voice of the host, Ling'er, resounded throughout the venue.
"As we all know, before the competition, the Imperial Crown Team agreed to sign a betting agreement with the King's Champion Emperor Sovereign Dominion Team. The two sides wagered their respective teams, with the title of Champion as the basis for victory, to compete for the title of the number one King of Glory team!"
"Now let's give a round of applause to President Yao, Vice President of Tencent and President of TiMi Studio, to witness the signing of the performance-based agreement between the two teams."
President Yao smiled and waved as he went on stage, bowing to the audience from time to time. He was incredibly humble, and he was the first to shake hands and hug Jueying.
"Captain Jueying, truly a young hero! The glory of King of Glory is thanks to your Imperial Crown Team. If your Imperial Crown Team needs anything in the future, please feel free to contact Tencent."
Jueying was practically grinning from ear to ear. In the past, Imperial Crown wouldn't even get a chance to meet the vice president of Tencent. But now, Imperial Crown become fully commercialized, with a commercial value exceeding 100 billion, and even Tencent has to take it seriously.
This is the profit-driven capital!
"See that? Imperial Emperor, this is a world where profit Imperial Crown. Even the vice president of Tencent is actively courting them. Only I, Nurarihyon, can lead Imperial Crown to become the world's number one gaming team!"
The wicked man within Jueying laughed wildly.
It can happen very quickly.
The wicked little devil in Jueying's heart couldn't laugh out loud.
President Yao walked up to Su Hang, bowing and scraping.
"Please forgive me, Captain Exalted Emperor. Director Ma originally planned to attend the Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor ceremony in person, but unfortunately he is abroad and cannot fly back for the time being. However, Director Ma, please give my regards to you and your grandfather."
Su Hang replied expressionlessly, "Oh."
Jueying's smile froze. Although she couldn't hear the specific content of their conversation, it was easy to tell from President Yao's respectful expression that the other party greatly respected Su Hang!
"Does he know Su Hang's identity as Emperor?"
Jueying's expression shifted between light and dark. Tencent Games' database stores the real-name authentication information of hundreds of millions of players, including Imperial Emperor's real-name authentication information, but even President Yao, who holds a high position, has no right to access it.
After all, citizens' personal information is sacred and inviolable. It can only be obtained in accordance with the law when it involves criminal cases and with the approval of the national public security department.
"Perhaps President Yao doesn't respect Exalted Emperor, but rather the Imperial Emperor who joined Sovereign Dominion," Jueying, Exalted Emperor is Imperial Emperor, a title known only to a very few, including Imperial Crown."
President Yao is known for admiring Imperial Emperor. In the early days of King of Glory, he often invited Imperial Emperor to attend Tencent's executive banquets on behalf of Tencent, but Imperial Emperor refused without exception.
The lifting platform slowly rose, revealing the paper-based betting agreement.
Ling'er bowed slightly and extended her arm, saying, "Alright, please invite Captain Jueying of Captain of the Imperial Crown and Captain of Sovereign Dominion Exalted Emperor of Monarch's Imperial Guard to come before the betting agreement and sign their names in the presence of President Yao and the players present."
Su Hang was the first to sign his name.
Jueying followed closely behind and signed his name.
President Yao held up the betting agreement for display, then addressed the microphone, "The betting agreement between both parties is now signed and effective immediately. I hereby declare the third annual Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor Competition open!"
