Chapter 1: Stormy Chapter 29: Morning News
"Everyone, don't leave in a hurry." Seeing this, the host Liu Xin smiled and said, "Our official live broadcast room will continue to broadcast for six hours. Within six hours, we will broadcast all the god-level battles today! After all, on the first day of the virtual world opening, those who can become god-level through the qualifying matches are all the top masters. Their battles will also be extremely exciting."
"I also remind the audience that in order to ensure the stability of the masses' work and life in reality, and to ensure everyone's physical health in reality, starting from 0:00 on July 26, the daily online time in the virtual world will be limited. For minors under the age of 16, the daily online time limit is 8 hours!" Liu Xin said.
There were a bunch of comments below.
"Not only is it restricted to eight hours, but the use of weapons and armor is also prohibited."
"Let's fight with bare hands!"
"unfair!"
"We're fighting with bare hands, how can we ever be as good as adults?"
Countless children were roaring.
Commentator Huang Yong laughed and said, "Weapons are just an extension of the hands! Bare-handed boxing is also very important. For example, the spear demon Xu Jingming just now has been practicing Baji Chuo Jiao since he was a child. With the foundation of Baji Chuo Jiao... he can practice spear skills so well. You are now fighting bare-handed, which is also laying the foundation!"
"The higher your boxing skills, the faster you can master weapons." Qin Yiwen also said.
"Over 16 years old." Liu Xin said, "For Star-level Silver Moon level, the daily online time limit is 10 hours. For Sun-level level, the daily online time limit is 12 hours! For God-level masters, the daily online time limit is 16 hours! So if you want to stay in the virtual world longer, make yourself stronger."
"I would like to remind everyone that you can also watch our official live broadcast room simultaneously on real-life TV networks and other media." Liu Xin said, "Although the effect is not as shocking as in the virtual world, it can save time in the virtual world."
After Liu Xin finished speaking, she lightly clicked, and the live broadcast screen behind her locked onto a live broadcast room, showing that three people were ready.
"Now for the second god-level battle, three people are ready. It seems we need to wait a little longer." Liu Xin said.
Suddenly the display changed.
It became - "Two people are ready."
"Someone withdrew." Liu Xin said helplessly, "It seems that there was a god-level master who was delayed by other things ."
In the stands below, the number of viewers has dropped to more than 300 million.
"I have too little experience with weapons, so I'd better not go up and embarrass myself. Just bear with it for now." A sturdy man said silently. It was he who clicked to cancel the queue just now. "Won't little brother Wu Sai be embarrassed?"
This sturdy man is none other than the greatest boxing champion in Xia Country's history, 'Xiong Tianshan', who has won world boxing championships in five weight classes from 122 pounds to 140 pounds. His appearance fee for a peak showdown can reach hundreds of millions, and he is now on the list of key national talents. Seeing little brother Wu Sai embarrassed, even though he is stronger, he still has to be cautious.
"For cold weapons, practice in the virtual world for three days before fighting." Xiong Tianshan said secretly.
…
"Now that Brother Xu has recovered from his leg injury, he is truly invincible." Yang Qingshuo was sitting in the stands, watching in amazement, "In terms of marksmanship, I am indeed far behind Brother Xu."
"I also have to work hard to reach the god level as soon as possible." Yang Qingshuo stood up and left.
…
"Old Xu, you've really soared to the sky." A muscular man also stood up in the stands, with expectation in his eyes, "Now that his leg injury is gone, he has fully exerted his strength and defeated Gao Chong. He is stronger than me, so I have to work hard too."
This man was Heng Fang, Xu Jingming's good friend in the national team. The two were equally strong and often competed with each other.
…
“Dad, these ten god-level masters are all amazing, but Senior Brother Xu is the most dazzling among them. Senior Brother Xu is really amazing.” A young girl exclaimed.
"When he was little, I knew he had a bright future." The handsome middle-aged man with a ponytail said with a smile, "That's why I accepted him as my apprentice. You see how steady he was just now, it's because he has been practicing kicking since he was a child. This is called... a good teacher produces a good apprentice!"
This middle-aged man was none other than Xu Jingming's other master when he was young - Dai Tongda, the leader of the Chuojiao Sect in Mingyue City. He was of the same age as Xu Hong and had become much younger after practicing the Evolution Technique.
"Oh, Dad, how powerful is your famous teacher now? Is he at the god level?" asked the young girl.
“Ahem.”
Dai Tongda shook his head and said, "As the ancients said, a disciple does not have to be inferior to his teacher, and a teacher does not have to be better than his disciple!"
"As the saying goes, a disciple surpasses his master. If a disciple is better than his master, it means that the master taught him well." Dai Tongda said, shaking his head, and the more he spoke, the more beautiful it became.
"Let's not talk about senior brother. Dad, my combat power is 896, how about you?" The young girl looked at her father.
Dai Tongda looked at his daughter and finally got angry: "Dai Xiaoqing, your father worked so hard to raise you and taught you martial arts, and this is how you repay your father? Just wait! In just half a month, after half a month, when I, your father, have mastered the weapon, I will come and compete with you to see who has the better fighting ability! I will let you know... your father is your father after all !"
After saying that, he stood up and disappeared.
"Just go after that." Dai Xiaoqing curled her lips, but there was a smile in her eyes. Because she came from a single-parent family, her father raised her, and the two of them had always been very close to each other, so she was used to it.
"He's going to compete with me in half a month. Dad is also full of fighting spirit." Dai Xiaoqing said silently. In her memory, her father became very decadent after the divorce. He has grown old and his health has deteriorated a lot over the years. She is also very worried about her father, but there is nothing she can do.
Now that the Evolution Method has arrived, my father’s body has transformed, he sees a future in martial arts, and his spirit is different.
"This era is really great." Dai Xiaoqing also stood up and disappeared.
…
In reality, the sun rises.
At Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao's residence, the two families gathered together and had breakfast together.
"Jingming." Xu Hong held a fried dough stick in one hand and soy milk in the other, looking at his son. "Although you have participated in the World Martial Arts Competition twice, the number of viewers in the World Martial Arts Competition, even in the finals, is estimated to be only a few hundred million, which can be compared with the number of viewers of this live broadcast. But the number of viewers in Xia Country... is definitely not as high as this virtual world live broadcast."
"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded. "More than 800 million viewers. No media has ever been so exaggerated before."
"You have become famous in one battle." Xu Hong nodded, "But don't be too proud, because this is only the first day of the virtual world opening! After all, you professional players have practiced for many years and have the upper hand. After that, billions of people around the world will practice evolution and weapons in the virtual world... Billions of people will work together, and geniuses from other industries, such as medical geniuses, technology geniuses, and geniuses from other industries, the group of will come in. By then, the competition will be a thousand times more intense."
Xu Jingming nodded: "Master also said that in the first month, we professional players still have the advantage. In just half a year, the professional players will be overwhelmed."
"I think 99% of the professional players will be drowned. Only the very best few players... can continue to stand at the top among billions of people." Xu Hong looked at his son, "So you can't stand on the book of past achievements and be too arrogant, otherwise you will just be lost in the crowd."
"Dad, I remember it." Xu Jingming nodded.
"Grandson, your reward this time is more than 15 million, right?" Grandpa Xu took a walk outside, walked into the living room, looked at Xu Jingming and asked.
"Yes, more than 15 million." Xu Jingming nodded, "But the virtual world official will take half! And then we have to pay taxes, and the final result will be about 4 million."
Divide it in half, and there will be more than 7 million left.
With my own income, I have to pay the maximum tax, 45% of my comprehensive personal income, which is about 4 million.
"That's impressive! I couldn't earn this much in a year when I was young." Grandpa Xu said with a smile.
"This is Xia Country's first god-level battle. It's quite special." Xu Jingming said.
"How many people are following your account?" Mr. Xu asked. "When watching the live broadcast, you can follow the opponents."
"More than 60 million." Xu Jingming said.
"Over 60 million followers for just one match?" Li Miaomiao couldn't help but ask, "I've created so many songs, and the total number of followers is only over 10 million at most."
The light screen on the wall next to it began to broadcast the news.
"This is the morning news."
"After the virtual world was opened, the total number of online users in Xiaguo reached a peak of 1.28 billion."
"Xia Country's first god-level battle just ended more than an hour ago. The team consisting of the gun demon Xu Jingming, the archer Wang Yi, the panda Zhang Qian, the trickster double-blade Dong Xu, and the boxing champion Wu Sai won the final victory."
"For the second god-level battle, as of now, seven people are ready..."
News reports one by one.
There are also some exciting news footage, such as Xu Jingming shooting Gao Chong in the chest.
"The 8 o'clock news is almost all about the virtual world?" Xu Hong looked at it and exclaimed, "Times have really changed!"
