Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

I said before, the organizers are trash.
If the organizers had not arranged this brainless competition through ‘best-of-ten’ matches, it would be hard to say what would have happened.”

“That’s why I said that Long Yu Corporation might be a big company, but it’s not professional at all when it comes to organizing competitions.
It’s far from being comparable to Tengda! Just look at the comparison between the IOI Qualification Competition and the GPL pre-season Competition.
From the venue, the details of the competition, and the schedule, GOG is a complete mess! This is the difference between professional and amateur!”

“To be honest, IOI’s competition is too draggy.
Each game is too long! A set of ‘best-of-five’ matches can’t be played for five hours.
The tempo is too slow.
I can’t say that the viewership of IOI would be good if the world competition is still the same.”

“Indeed, the difference is too great.
There won’t be any IOI competitions for the time being.
Let’s go watch the GPL.
It’s much better than this.”

“I wonder how Boss Pei felt when he was there?”

“Hehe, some people even said that Boss Pei went there because IOI’s competition is better than GPL’s? What an international joke! I think Boss Pei’s thinking should be: How can they still have the cheek to organize a competition like this? They don’t even know how to copy homework properly!”

“Boss Pei’s presence today was obviously a provocation! The club I invested in directly took away your number one seeded entry, and you can’t do anything to me.
Are you angry? What’s more, I’m going to personally witness FV Club win the championship and mock you.
What can you do to me?”

“Indeed, Boss Pei is probably invincible in GOG.
He doesn’t feel threatened at all and has lost his passion.
That’s why he used FV Club to fight IOI.
He wanted to have some fun, but IOI’s teams were so weak that they broke at one touch! If I were Boss Pei, I would only feel that life is as lonely as snow.
It’s so boring!”

“I don’t think Boss Pei will be watching IOI’s competitions in the future.
It’s so disappointing.”

“I was watching the replay of the competition when I suddenly realized that Boss Pei’s close-up seemed to have a deeper meaning.
Look, Boss Pei might be wearing a mask and keeping a very low profile but his posture is very relaxed.
He looks like he had victory in his hands.
When the camera panned to him, he was completely indifferent and calm.
Did he expect the results of today’s competition?”

“Handsome, handsome, handsome, mummy loves you, the Boss Pei that doesn’t reveal your face!”

“He personally went to the venue to watch a competition organized by a competitor’s company, sit in the first row and watch the club he invested in win the first seeded team.
How domineering!”

“I think that Boss Pei only wanted to keep a low profile and not slap Long Yu Corporation in the face too hard.
He didn’t think that Long Yu Corporation would take the initiative to bring the camera to him! I’m dying of laughter!”

Pei Qian was stunned as he read the comments.

What are these idiotic netizens talking about?!

There was only one thing that was right: Boss Pei felt that life was as lonely as snow.

Everything else was wrong!

I only wanted to watch FV lose the competition.
I didn’t think so much!

However, it was useless to say anything now.
The trend of public opinion had already formed online!

After Zhao Xuming and Long Yu Corporation discovered that Boss Pei had personally appeared at the scene, they used this as an excuse to buy hot searches and hire fake reviewers to boost their popularity.
Once FV lost, they would be able to direct all of their popularity to the IOI World Competition.

However, the script was completely different now!

In the end, FV won the first seeded team by trashing the ‘best-of-ten’ matches.
Thus, all of the comments that Zhao Xuming had prepared to use to guide public opinion, discredit the GPL, and generate popularity for IOI World Competition were all ruined!

It had not been easy for him to accumulate popularity, but now it was all concentrated on FV Club and GPL!

The winner of the E-Sports competition was king.
Whether it was 3: 0 or 3: 2, the audience would only remember the winner and view the runner-up as the biggest loser.

At first, not many people paid attention to FV Club, probably only the older fans of the players.
However, the audience knew that it was Boss Pei’s club after Long Yu Corporation spared no effort in introducing the club.
The attention naturally soared now that it had achieved results!

Pei Qian sighed softly, feeling that life was meaningless.

…

“It’s a pity that there are no more miracles.
SUG Club lost this crucial game with 0-3 and failed to obtain a slot in the world competition.”

“To be honest, it’s really a pity.
SUG team displayed very good competitive skills in today’s first set of ‘best-of-five’ matches.
It was originally very hopeful.
However, perhaps this is what they mean by ‘Spurt on the first try, tired on the second try and fail with exhaustion on the third’.
I can clearly feel that they were not particularly prepared for the second set of ‘best-of-five’ matches.
Their competitive state was also not very good…”

“I can only hope that they can continue to work hard in the following matches…”

Ding Gan was so angry that his blood pressure rose and he almost fainted below the stage.

Even though he had a premonition about this, he did not expect the SUG to be wiped out with a 3: 0!

The main reason why they were in such a state was because SUG had spent most of its energy on the first set of ‘best-of-five’ matches.
In the end, they failed at the last step and the team’s mentality was greatly affected.

Many times in the elimination rounds, they had to hold back their anger.
That was because they would collapse once that anger was released.

Ding Gan subconsciously looked at the audience.
Most of the audience had left by now.
There were not many people left.

After all, it was already past 11 PM.
There would be no subway if they were to leave any later.

Boss Pei’s figure stood out in the empty front row seats.

Ding Gan was very angry but he could not hate Boss Pei for some reason.

Logically speaking, it was Boss Pei who reorganized FV Club and snatched a spot in the international competition.
That was why SUG Club could not qualify.
It also caused Ding Gan to lose all his investment in this team.

However, Ding Gan felt that this was not Boss Pei’s fault but Zhao Xuming’s!

Would the team have been torn down if Zhao Xuming had come to the club earlier to discuss the IOI World Competition?

Zhao Xuming patted his chest confidently and guaranteed that SUG would definitely make it into the international competition.
What happened in the end? The moment something happened, he immediately threw SUV aside!

How did he come up with this brain paralysis competition?

Was there a way to arrange the schedule for a game ithrough morning till late at night?

If he split the two sets of ‘best-of-five’ matches into two days, SUG would have more time to prepare.
Perhaps the results would be different?

Indeed, Boss Pei was the reason why SUG Club did not qualify.

However, Ding Gan knew very well that Boss Pei was not targeting SUG Club.

Boss Pei had reorganized FV Club.
His primary goal was to slap the faces of IOI and Long Yu Corporation.
SUG had been accidentally AOE[1.’AOE’ refers to Area of Effect where everything within the area takes damage or healing]by Boss Pei.

Zhao Xuming was the one to blame for not being able to qualify SUG!

If not for the fact that Zhao Xuming was such a good-for-nothing who could not even fight back after being beaten by Boss Pei, would the SUG be dragged down?

The more Ding Gan thought about it, the angrier he became.

“Zhao Xuming! I’ll be a dog if I follow you around!”

“I would rather play GDL in the future and never enter GPL in my life than to touch IOI again!”

For some reason, the more Ding Gan looked at Boss Pei, the more despair he felt.

He should not have had anything to do with Boss Pei’s chess games.
How unlucky!

He had made up his mind to follow Boss Pei.
So what if he had been unhappy before and had been a little worse off previously? It was still better than being pulled into an AOE for no reason!

Ding Gan’s face was ashen.
He did not intend to look for Zhao Xuming anymore.
He flicked his sleeves and left.

On stage, the three teams that had qualified for the next round went on stage one by one in the expedition ceremony.

However, the audience in the front row had already left.
After all, it was really too late.
What’s more, there was nothing much to see during the expedition ceremony.

At first, Pei Qian stood up and wanted to leave.
However, after taking two steps, he realized that there were many people at the exit.
If he left now, he would be squeezed into a crowd.
After some thought, he sat back down in the middle of the crowd.
He took a look at the expedition ceremony and waited for everyone to leave before leaving.

He would arrive at his hotel in five minutes anyway, he was in no hurry.

At that moment, an audience member who was about to leave suddenly had a stroke of inspiration.
He took out his cell phone and took a photo of Pei Qian’s back in the empty front row.

Click.

In the photo, Pei Qian sat in the middle of the first row of audience seats.
In front of him was the competition stage and the big screen.
His lonely back view was particularly eye-catching.

On the stage, the fifteen players of the three teams were lined up in a row.
The five players of FV Club returned after finishing their supper.
They stood in the middle, closest to the front, and echoed Boss Pei in the audience.

In fact, Pei Qian had originally been seated near the front row because he did not want to attract too much attention.
However, he happened to sit right in the middle after he tried to leave but decided against it.

The enthusiastic viewer took a look at the photo and was very satisfied with the composition.
He posted it online.
