Chapter 940: National Participation, 800 Million Earned in Three Days

Not only Liu Jia, Wu Hao, Ren Jun, and other classmates of Li Yuan were enthusiastically discussing, but the entire freshman class was also buzzing.

In the girls’ dormitory, Fang Yanni looked at Wang Jierong, who appeared absent-minded, and asked:

“Wow, Li Yuan is really generous. Jierong, will you participate?”

Wang Jierong looked at the “Honor of Kings” promotional slogans on various websites, feeling uneasy and with mixed emotions.

Ever since that special encounter she forced with Li Yuan in the cafeteria, Li Yuan never interacted with her again, turning his head away when he saw her, as if deliberately avoiding her, very cold.

This filled her with a sense of defeat; despite what she had done, Li Yuan remained as cold as iron, giving her no chance at all.

This period also made her realize clearly that she’s unlikely to truly win over Li Yuan in this lifetime.

To have had that one chance to experience Li Yuan’s measure and taste was already something.

Sometimes she felt upset and even thought about revealing what happened that day to harm Li Yuan’s reputation, for treating her so.

But after pondering for a long time, she never acted upon it; she didn’t dare.

Li Yuan’s fame is too big now, with countless fans, and he is very wealthy. More importantly, he has a good relationship with Executive Vice Principal Ma Tengfei…

She was very worried that if she really exposed this matter to tarnish Li Yuan’s reputation, she might get expelled from the school…

Finally, after much thought, she decided to let it go and stop having unrealistic dreams.

The ugly duckling cannot possibly become a phoenix.

Wang Jierong felt a mix of emotions and glanced at the excited Fang Yanni,

She knew her roommate also loved playing “Honor of Kings” and that she was quite good at playing the mage, already reaching diamond rank. During the winter break, they played multiple ranked matches together, always getting carried by Fang Yanni…

“Yanni, do you want to participate?”

Fang Yanni nodded and said rightfully, “Of course, with such a great opportunity, why not participate.”

“Hehe, the prize money is so high; if I win, wouldn’t it be amazing.”

“I feel my gaming skills are decent, and this game is really interesting.”

“Li Yuan is also very generous and considerate, specifically dividing the competition into male and female groups, so we don’t have to compete against the boys, only with other girls. I am pretty confident.”

“Jierong, you should join too. We can form a team from our dorm, and you can support me, ensuring we win a prize.”

Listening to Fang Yanni speak excitedly, Wang Jierong hesitated for a moment but then nodded in agreement.

This national event, with such a high prize, was indeed intriguing to her.

Moreover, the promotion of this nationwide “Honor of Kings” tournament included a guarantee that Li Yuan would hold a concert during the finals, with tickets drawn from all participating teams, driving his fans into a frenzy…

“Alright, I’ll join too.”

…

As the news spread, the entire internet began to buzz, with discussions everywhere, much more lively than the last “Milk Tea Girl” selection event.

The “Milk Tea Girl” selection saw only a few confident girls participate, without exaggerated prize money.

But this “Honor of Kings” competition was different; it’s a nationwide contest allowing anyone talented in the game to register and win big.

Li Yuan prepared thoroughly against cheating, requiring real-name ID verification to register. If your ID doesn’t match during qualification checks, your competition entry will be canceled directly.

[Girls, check online, Xia Hua’s company has released explosive news. Xia Hua is hosting the “Honor of Kings” National Tournament, ahhh, I’m in! Are any of you joining?]

[“Honor of Kings” National Tournament? What’s this? Let me dig in.]

[Geez, really? 20 million in prize money. Is Xia Hua really this generous, throwing out 20 million for a game? If I became the national champion, wouldn’t I earn millions?]

[Absolutely, it’s Xia Hua who’s worth billions; throwing out 20 million is as casual as buying a pair of shoes for us. Enough talk, are you joining or not?]

[I have to join, hehe, maybe we’ll win something, and if not, at least getting selected for the final admission ticket would be nice.]

[Registering by province, city, and county means our dormmates can’t compete together; we can only compete with high school and junior high friends, which is quite troublesome, I thought we could join as a dorm…]

[Actually, this is normal, registering by ID is reasonable. If teams were formed randomly, it would be quite chaotic.]

[Not really chaotic, if we held a random team elimination match and scored it, that would work too.]

[Haha, easy for you to say. With so many participants, it’d be massively cumbersome, taking half a year to finish. I feel Xia Hua’s proposed competition style is quite reasonable.]
