Chapter 131 "Escape from Chickenkov" Grand Prix
Chapter 131 "Escape from Chickenkov" Grand Prix
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Chen Dong arrived at the sales office of Qiantang Mountain and Water Villa Group as agreed.
"Mr. Chen, you've arrived!"
When the big spender arrived, Xiao Wang, the salesman, still wore an impeccable smile.
Chen Dong had only sat down and drunk a cup of tea when Xiao Wang, the salesman, returned with a bag of documents, moving very quickly.
"Mr. Chen, I have completed all the procedures for you. These are the documents that have been processed."
The file folder is quite heavy, even though I just got it.
Chen Dong opened the document and glanced at it briefly. Seeing that the property ownership certificate, house deed, and state-owned land use certificate were all complete, he looked away.
"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Dong stood up and gave a perfunctory greeting to Xiao Wang, the salesperson.
"It's no trouble at all, it's all what I should do. Also, Mr. Chen, your villa has been cleaned and is ready for you to move in at any time."
Salesman Xiao Wang followed closely behind Chen Dong, escorting him all the way to the parking lot, just like last time.
"Mr. Chen, if you have any friends who are interested in buying a villa, I would also recommend that they come and take a look at the Qiantang Mountain and Water Villa District."
Xiao Wang, a salesman of medium build, stood by the car, having to look up at Chen Dong, who was sitting in the driver's seat.
"I'll consider it." Chen Dong nodded, rolled up the car window, and stepped on the gas, driving out of the sales office parking lot.
This time, however, he did not turn left to leave the villa area, but instead turned right towards the direction of the villa he had purchased.
At night, Chen Dong sat on a leather recliner on the master bedroom balcony, browsing online opinions about the upcoming "Escape from Chicken Cove" grand prix to be held in Hangzhou.
To be honest, due to its single-player nature and the fact that getting loot is entirely based on luck, Escape from Chickenkov is not really suitable for holding competitions.
However, this Grand Prix is ultimately an entertainment competition for promotional purposes, and most players and fans are quite tolerant of the event; at least there haven't been many pessimistic comments online.
Besides "Escape from Chickenkov," which has frequently trended on social media due to its upcoming grand prix, Chen Dong also saw "Two People on a Journey," which had recently appeared in his novel, on the trending list, albeit at the very bottom.
However, the title of the trending topic was quite interesting.
[Shocking! Starcard has set its sights on the couples' market, creating a game specifically for couples!]
The author of this trending topic has almost completely deconstructed Chen Dong's thoughts when choosing games.
When Chen Dong chose this game, he did indeed have the idea of targeting the couples market.
However, besides couples, it seems that quite a few people who bought "Two People Together" in the previous life also bought the game to play with their best friends.
Seeing that many single people were protesting against the game in the comments section of the trending topic, saying that even if the game was made, they would not be able to find game partners to play with, Chen Dong couldn't help but smile silently.
This game is not only a love crusher, but also a friendship tester.
He's already looking forward to seeing how many couples, brothers, and best friends will fight online because of the game "Two People Together" after it's released.
……
Saturday, 7 p.m.
The Hangzhou City Gymnasium, the venue for the Escape from Chicken Cove Grand Prix, was packed with people.
Because Xingka doesn't rely on this competition for profit, the ticket price is extremely low, making most local Hangzhou players and fans willing to spend the price of a milk tea to come to the venue and watch various streamers, star players, and even ordinary people fight for the final grand prize.
As for the live stream, the total number of viewers across all platforms exceeded one million, which is enough to show the popularity of the game "Escape from Chickenkov" in China recently.
Inside the commentary booth, Starcard specially invited three well-known e-sports commentators to provide commentary for this Grand Prix.
Noticing the director's gesture, commentator Shuangjie spoke first, her clear and bright voice immediately prompting many attractive fans in the live stream to start flooding the screen with comments.
"StarCard really goes all out, they even invited Sister Shuang to be the commentator."
"Anyone else like me who's obsessed with Shuang Jie's looks?"
"Sigh, this microphone is way too white..."
"No, are you really looking at the microphone? I'm almost embarrassed to call you out on it!"
"Never mind that, just tell me if it's white or not, straight or not."
In the commentary booth where the commentators were located, one could also see some viewers' comments on the live stream chat.
Seeing the audience discussing issues like whether someone is fair-skinned or straight, the other two streamers, Haozai and VV, couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
However, as a seasoned e-sports commentator, Shuangjie was completely unaffected by the barrage of comments on the big screen in front of her, and calmly read out the participants of this Grand Prix.
"Please welcome the contestants for this grand prix: Egg Master, Committee Member Han, Liu Peiqie, Peach Crisp, Kang Shen, and the four amateur contestants who passed the preliminary rounds!"
As Sister Shuang deliberately raised the pitch of her voice and faded away, the spotlight shone directly onto the entrance to the central stage of the stadium.
The streamers and professional players invited by Starcard, as well as the amateurs who passed the audition, came out one by one in the order on the list.
"Egg Master! Egg Master! Egg Master!"
"I really want to see Eggman perform an ostrich dance on stage!"
"No way, Sister Su looks even better offline than during her live streams?"
"Wow, Committee Member Han and Liu Peiqie are truly good brothers; they've probably gained at least 30 pounds combined."
"I didn't expect Xingka to even invite Kang Shen. Why didn't they invite my cousin too? I want to see a river of blood!"
As these popular contestants entered the arena, the live stream chat became lively once again.
At this point, someone noticed the key point and brought it up.
"Didn't Starcard issue a statement saying that Starcard's boss would also participate in this Grand Prix? Why haven't we seen him?"
"Yes, Mr. Chen wouldn't have changed his mind at the last minute, would he?"
"If President Chen fails this time, he will only be known as 'Little Chen' in my eyes from now on."
"That's right, are there any guys here who can tell Xiao Chenzi to stop developing 'Two People Go Together'? It doesn't look fun at all."
"Haha, I guess you just can't find anyone to play with."
Inside the commentary booth, seeing the viewers in the live stream urging Chen Dong to appear, the three commentators didn't deliberately delay. Instead, VV spoke up directly.
"Since the viewers and fans in the live stream are already looking forward to Mr. Chen's arrival, then let's welcome our special guest for this competition, Mr. Chen!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the spotlights in the stadium changed, transforming from simple white to a soft orange-yellow.
Chen Dong, under the spotlight, slowly walked out of the entrance.
In an instant, an even louder cheer erupted in the stadium, as if Chen Dong's popularity was even higher than that of the anchors and professional players who had entered earlier.
If someone who doesn't know him is watching the live stream, they might even mistake Chen Dong for some famous big shot.
