"Viewers, it's the weekend again. Welcome everyone to lock in the dark network and the Death Star Capture the Flag live broadcast room on time. I am the host and commentator Kenny. This show is exclusively sponsored by Planet Assassin..."

"Okay, let's focus on the game itself. First of all, we are very lucky. In this game, we have invited the former star player of the Carl Star Pilot League, the dominant individual mecha pilot, and the former head coach of the Dark Night Club 'Viper' 'Cary...Mr. Cary, say hello to our audience friends."

"Okay, hello, viewers, I'm Kari."

Following Kenny's words, the camera suddenly moved back, widening the entire commentary room, and another bald man appeared on the screen.

At the same time, the bald man also waved to the camera and said hello.

"Reemployment Alliance, this is..."

Monitoring room.

Lin Jie, who was packing his things, paused and couldn't help but look up.

The conversation between Kepa and him happened last night.

Lin Jie has no intention of letting Kepa wade through this muddy water. He believes in solving his own problems by himself. What's more, Kepa is now a championship-level professional player and has a very comfortable life. He is precarious and there is no need to drag others down. .

What Kepa thinks is his business, but Lin Jie can't really do that.

So he simply hung up the communication and did not let Kepa continue talking.

After a night's rest, we arrived at the preparation area of ​​the new battlefield.

The process before the war is basically the same, the only difference is the extra card next to the commentary box.

"Do you know him?" Simon, who noticed Lin Jie's movements, asked.

"I know him. He is a very good pilot. I have seen his game highlights for the first time." Lin Jie nodded.

As Kenny introduced, Kari used to be a very famous professional player, a one-man fighter. Because of his decisive and fast fighting style, he was always known as the 'Venomous Snake'. However, he became famous at a young age, and like Kenny, he failed to withstand it. The temptation of the colorful world was later sued by a woman for rape.

This case was also considered a sensation at the time.

Kari had to compete, negotiate with various sponsor companies, and travel between the court and the arena. Tormented by multiple pressures, he was mentally and physically exhausted. His game state declined seriously, and he had to retire early.

Let's talk about the 'Dark Night' club that Kenny mentioned. This club is also a well-known big team. Its status is about equal to Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League. It is a real giant.

But I heard that they violated the financial act, so they were investigated, and their reputation and status were in jeopardy. The head coach left, taking away the captain and star, and the club was about to break up.

At that time, the manager of the Dark Night Club found the down-and-out Cary, and the two hit it off and made a huge bet. Cary became the head coach of the Dark Night Club's one-man-control division at a very low salary.

As soon as he took office, Kari carried out a drastic reform of the Dark Night Team from training to tactics with the determination to succeed or succeed.

And this kind of reform has indeed had a positive impact on the Dark Night Team.

They were at the bottom at the beginning of the season and were not favored by anyone. They went all the way north and relied on Kari's bold tactics and rich background to get third place at the end of the season.

Afterwards, relying on their third-place finish, they attracted more sponsorships and their financial situation was eased. Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.

But just when everyone thought that the Dark Night Team would be revitalized under the leadership of Kari, Kari's old habit relapsed.

During the offseason, he was exposed as a scandal of molesting fans. The management of the Dark Night Club directly kicked this meritorious coach out of consideration.

Since then, the 'Viper' has been completely silent, but he didn't expect that Jenna would be involved in Capture the Flag today as an analyst.

Mechas are garbage, pilots are scum, commentators are scum, and they belong in the trash... Lin Jie lowered his head and continued to pack up his tools.

This time he has more things to bring to Capture the Flag. In addition to machinist gloves and grenades, there are also specialized wrenches and large drills.

"Brother Lin, the test is completed and you can enter the venue..."

At this time, Curly Hair also drove back the Mammoth that had been sent for pre-game testing, and asked for a tactical mask from the prison guard as Lin Jie had asked before. However, after entering the door and seeing what Lin Jie had packed, his whole body was filled with excitement. Still stunned: "You don't want to bring these things into the cockpit, do you? The cockpit space is not big to begin with, and adding these tools will make it even more crowded."

"If you want to achieve results that others cannot achieve, you must use means that others can't think of..."

Lin Jie took the mask strap from Curly Hair, jumped into the Mammoth's cockpit with his toolbox, and turned back to give Simon and Curly a thumbs up: "Get ready for the celebration bar.

Tomorrow, we will be free! "



"how's it going?"

Director's room.

Several hundred square meters, dozens of people, almost turned into a busy pot of porridge.

Jenna held the back of the chair of the staff in front of her and stood in front of countless broadcast screens. She was busy reading various data monitoring reports and asking the staff in front of her. She was very busy.

"Nine billion!"

The young girl next to him took off her headphones and looked at Jenna with excitement: "Warden, our ratings have reached a new high. The number of people online has exceeded 9 billion, and it is still growing. I even I have never seen any show or competition with such a high online number... Warden, we have made history!"

Nine billion?

Although she was prepared, Jenna was still shocked when she heard this number.

For the previous Capture the Flag games, even when they were at their most popular, there were only 6 billion online viewers.

This time the game hasn’t started yet, but it’s just a warm-up before the game, and it has already reached 9 billion. If the game really officially starts, wouldn’t it be able to break 10 billion?

"Lin Jie..." Jenna trembled slightly with excitement and whispered softly.

As an old planner, she knew very well that the surge in popularity of this capture-the-flag battle was absolutely inseparable from Lin Jie's explosive performance in the previous one.

Of the 9 billion online views, at least 5 billion came because of watching Lin Jie’s last video.

This guy who was madly attacking her age pain points has now become her cash cow.

"Calm down, the more you can't make mistakes at this time, pay attention to the signal station. You must not make low-level mistakes. Contact the dark network to strengthen the server stability. There must be no more crashes. I have a hunch, Lin This lunatic Jie will do even crazier things this time, and by then the interaction rate in the live broadcast room and the number of people online will skyrocket."

"Besides..." Jenna paused: "How long until the competition officially starts?"

"Report, seven minutes left."

"That is to say, excluding the introduction to the arena, there are only about six minutes left... Tell Kenny and Cary not to whet the audience's appetite anymore. The other contestants can just skip it quickly and let our protagonists appear quickly!"



"Well, although Kari is a one-man warrior, he has served as the head coach of a wealthy club after all. As expected, he has unique insights into tactics and mecha characteristics. So let's ask Coach Kari to analyze the Hook player. , and the red dragon he drives."

"The player Hook actually has a great advantage, because in the mecha league, in order to ensure the running-in between the players and the mecha, players generally will not change the mecha model easily, which requires that in the design On the other hand, competition mechas must adapt to more and more complex battlefields, and this is the case with Red Dragon. If I were to rank all mechas, I think Red Dragon would be the absolute number one."

Live broadcast room, commentary seat.

Kenny and Cary are doing the last part of the pre-game warm-up, introducing the players.

Following the two people's comments, the live broadcast screen switched to a three-dimensional model of the 'Red Dragon' mecha. As the camera moved, pieces of data popped up from the mecha, all in detail.

Unfortunately, as Jenna speculated, not many people here came for other people.

Before Kenny and Cary had finished speaking, barrages like 'Who the hell are these people', 'I want to see Mammoth', 'Call that mechanic out' were rolling up all over the place, and there was even a dedicated Darknet members spent money to put up banners and various special effects animations in the live broadcast room, almost covering the camera.

The all-in-one "We Want Mammoth" is simply crazier than a concert by an entertainment superstar.

That's almost it... Kenny listened to Cary's comments and stared at the broadcast camera.

As an old commentator, he knows very well that too much is too little. They have been entertaining the audience for a long time, and if they continue not to talk about the key points, the effect will be bad. At this time, he also heard Jenna's instructions in his ears, and he smiled slightly and said: " Coach Kari said that the Red Dragon is the number one mecha in your mind for our Capture the Flag Battle, so can you tell me more about who the number one pilot is in your mind?"

"Oh?" Kari obviously understood very well. He smiled slightly and took a sip of tea in a pretentious manner before saying, "Do you even need to ask? That guy not only shocked me, he shocked everyone. He made me This is the first time I know that a pilot can fight in this way.

He is elegant, crazy, decisive, and stupid. These words that are supposed to be opposites are perfectly concentrated in him. He is as dazzling as a star in the dark universe. I can't wait to talk about him. …”

Following Kali's words, the live broadcast screen changed again.

A photo of Lin Jie and Mammoth appeared in the broadcast.

However, the imagined scene of star chasing and people worshiping did not appear. Just seeing this photo, the audience in the dark web live broadcast room became furious.
