Things to Know About the Demon King Tournament

Xiao Yu thought to himself that it was pretty much the truth, but he would find out what exactly happened once he went inside.

After waiting for a full half hour, it was finally his turn. He excused himself to the two people and followed the receptionist into the room.

There were three people in the room, all dressed in ancient Greek-style robes, looking quite impressive.

"Please have a seat, Mr. Xiao Yu. Welcome to the Second Working Group. I am Liu Wei, the leader of the Second Working Group. I've called you here today mainly because there are some things I need to write down with you."

Xiao Yu plopped down and cut to the chase. "If you're after the divine artifact, I have to say, this time I absolutely will not hand it over."

The group exchanged glances, but the middle-aged man sitting in the middle smiled and shook his head.

"Mr. Xiao, please rest assured, you don't need to worry about that artifact. The Scepter of Elemental Domination was originally the Elemental King 'Elemental King destined artifact, designed specifically for him in the game. Since you have openly and legitimately obtained the title of Elemental King, then this artifact is yours. This is completely different from the Scourge of the Ocean that was placed in the sea to suppress the Old Gods. Of course, we are still quite surprised that someone has obtained the title of Elemental King so quickly."

Also, considering that you already know some things, we feel it's necessary to remind you: this Scepter of Elemental Domination must never fall into the hands of the Old Gods.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, I will absolutely not let the Old Gods obtain the scepter. So, what is the purpose of your summons?"

Liu Wei said, "First of all, I have some good news for you. As the Elemental King, a super BOSS with the strength of 8 Skeletons, you have been selected by our company as a seed player in this Demon King Tournament. As a seed player, you have several advantages. First, you can be exempted from the preliminary rounds and directly enter the top 32."

The second benefit is that you can get official promotional cooperation from the game's official team. We will arrange professional promotion staff to help you promote your popularity.

The third benefit is that you can earn 10% of the advertising revenue from the live broadcast of the [Demon King Tournament]. Of course, this only applies to the matches you participate in, provided you are willing to sign a contract.

Xiao Yu was immediately confused by the information he received. "Wait a minute, what do you mean by live streaming? Does this game have a live streaming function?"

Xiao Yu had some knowledge of game systems, because many holographic games had live streaming functions, and many players would stream their gameplay to gain attention. However, in the past, players could only play from the adventurer's perspective, and the content of the streams was largely the same, so Xiao Yu generally didn't pay much attention to them.

However, after the launch of Sky World, Xiao Yu paid special attention to it because the ability to stream from the perspective of heroes and bosses would definitely be more interesting. But to his surprise, the game had never introduced a similar system. Players could only use a camera sprite to record in-game footage and then upload it online. Unexpectedly, he heard about the live streaming system today.

"That's right," Liu Wei said. "The live streaming system has actually been under development since the game started operating, and it was just completed recently. After several months of testing, the system is now fully mature. It will be launched simultaneously with the new expansion, and will also undergo initial trials during the Demon King Tournament."

"The preliminary rounds of the Demon King Tournament won't be broadcast live, but all matches during the 32-to-1 selection process will be streamed live and sponsored by advertisers. Mr. Xiao isn't stupid; this broadcast will be simultaneous worldwide. The number of viewers will definitely rival that of the World Cup. Every participant will have the opportunity to become a star, provided they can showcase their unique style during the competition. Mr. Xiao, after you return, you might want to prepare how you want to present yourself to the world."

Xiao Yu was a bit bewildered. He had never done live streaming before; making a fortune quietly was his style. But it seemed there was no way he could refuse.

Liu Wei then added, "Furthermore, seeded players can know the rules of the competition in advance. Would you like to hear about it?"

"If it's necessary," Xiao Yu nodded, indicating that the other party could speak.

"The rules of the Demon King Tournament are as follows."

The entire Demon King Tournament will be a knockout tournament, divided into three groups: [Strongest Demon King Competition], [Demon King Team Competition], and [Evil Forces Competition].

In the [Strongest Demon King Competition], players need to register with their own BOSS character to participate in a 1v1 battle against other BOSSes. The final winner will be the strongest demon king in a one-on-one fight. In other words, it is an elimination tournament with 32 players competing for one spot. This competition is mainly for BOSSes with strong individual strength.

In the [Demon King Team Competition], players need to use their own BOSS character to form a BOSS combo with other BOSS characters and engage in 5VS5 team battles against other BOSS combos. The strongest BOSS combo and the strongest Demon King in the BOSS combo will be determined in the end. This competition is mainly for BOSSes that require teamwork to unleash their power.

In [Evil Forces Battle], players need to lead their own monster forces and engage in 1000 vs 1000 battles against monster forces led by other players to ultimately determine the strongest monster force and the strongest BOSS leading that force. This competition is mainly aimed at large monster forces.

Players can freely choose three competition events, but can only participate in one at a time. After all three competition events are completed, the winners of the three competitions will be the top three in this event.

Then, the three strongest bosses will participate in an online popularity vote, with player votes determining their ranking and making them the first, second, and third bosses of the next expansion. In addition, individual players and teams defeated in the competition will also participate in an online vote to select ten individual or team bosses to become the opening bosses of the next expansion.

Xiao Yu paused for a moment upon hearing this, "Wait a minute, you said the rankings should be decided by the players?"

Liu Wei nodded. "That's right, and only players with adventurer characters can vote. After all, it's the adventurers who are fighting the Demon King, and they are the main consumers of this game. So, this involves the issue of promotion. Adventurers definitely want to defeat the most powerful, the coolest, and the most epic bosses, because that's how they feel about the achievement. So, popularity is very important if you want to be selected in the competition. As I said before, we will arrange for professionals to help you with self-promotion. As a seed player, you can get free packaging assistance from our professional promotion team."

To promote the film, the first thing you need to do is shoot a promotional video. You can choose someone from this list to be your scriptwriter. Also, here are some sample clips you can take a look at. We will release the promotional video online on April 1st. You must finish shooting the promotional video before April 1st, so hurry up, buddy.
