Xie Liuying: "Okay, don't think about it so much, rest early, it's true to watch the game tomorrow morning." Although we swore an oath in our notebook, we are still professional players at heart. The fight against the mastermind behind the scenes should be led by a big man like Wang Jingluo. This time he was pitted so badly, he will definitely find a way to fight back, and we will just rush when the time comes. ”

Early the next morning, we arrived at the venue nearly half an hour early, and there was a four- or five-meter-high sword stuck upside down at the entrance of the venue, which was quite eye-catching. Although this sword is only a model and is not made of real metal, players who are familiar with the title of the book will know that it is a replica of the doorway of the Linjian Gate in the game.

In addition to this sword at the entrance of the convention and exhibition center, there is also a welcome wall, the pattern on the wall is beautifully drawn, combining ink and modern elements, and a few big words are written on the wall: "20XX annual "book title" reincarnation cup finals", the league of "book title" is divided into cause and effect cup and reincarnation cup, the competition system is basically the same, once a year, which is the so-called "spring game" and "summer game".

The eight teams with the highest rankings will qualify for the year-end "Open Book Cup" based on the points of the Summer and Spring Rounds, and the team that wins the Open Book Cup is what we generally call the "Overall Champion of the Year".

The cup of reincarnation starts in mid-July and ends in mid-October every year, while the cup of karma starts in mid-February and ends in mid-May. The rest of the season is off-season, and teams and players are free to transfer and recruit new players.

We swiped our smartphones to pass through the turnstile, and at the entrance of the indoor venue was the support area for the two teams, where fans could pick up their favorite teams. The small items in the support area are all made and distributed by the team's logistics staff, usually some simple headwear, stickers of the team's logo, and small banners and light sticks. If you can prove your identity as a die-hard fan, you may also receive more conspicuous support items such as lanterns.

There were about twenty minutes left before the start of the match, but the stadium was deserted inside and out, which was evident in the support areas of the two teams competing in the finals. The Shu's team is okay, after all, they have a certain fan base with excellent results over the years, and there are still many people waiting in line in the support area to receive support.

On the other side, the Forget Worries team is miserable, and the door of their support area can almost be described as a crowd. The staff of the team looked at the mountains of things in their homes in embarrassment and helplessness, and fell into the helplessness of no one to take the free delivery.

Xie Liuying and I have no bias, we watched this game completely objectively and neutrally, and in line with the principle of robbing the rich and helping the poor, we still went to receive the support of the Forget Worry team.

The stage inside the convention center is carefully arranged in the shape of a classical ring, and the two sides of the ring are the battle areas of the two players. Directly above the ring, there is a large octagonal screen hanging on the dome, which is supposed to be used to broadcast the game to the audience in all directions.

From the beginning of the entrance, the staff carefully guided the players to the seats on the tickets, and reminded them that with the number on the tickets, they could redeem beautiful small pendants in the game, and at the same time participate in the live lottery between finals.

Every seat in the center was covered with a cover from the "Book Title" finals, and the seats in the entire arena looked crimson. It's a pity that such a careful arrangement seems to be in vain because of the previous series of events, of course, I also have an unshirkable responsibility in the middle.

The game is about to start, but the attendance rate of the entire stadium is less than 30%, and there are many people who refund their tickets, not to mention, and some people have not come to see them even if they buy tickets because of the public opinion turmoil and time problems before the game. Anyway, this ticket is not that expensive......

Xie Liuying and I found our seats and sat down, but the left and right sides were empty, our seats were relatively forward, and even so, there were still few spectators in the whole row.

I shifted to my comfortable sitting position and waited for the race to start. When "Book Title" was popular a few years ago, I wanted to buy tickets to watch it, but I didn't get a ticket, and I never thought that when the game and league were sluggish, it would be my first live viewing experience.

Remembering that Xie Liuying's circle of friends had mentioned that she had gone to watch an offline competition, I was curious: "Will the effect of watching the game live be much better?" ”

"It's okay." Her answer was a little lukewarm.

Even though we've known each other for so long, she hasn't mentioned that offline viewing once. I had a vague feeling that it wasn't a pleasant experience for her, and I didn't ask any more questions when I thought about it.

At this moment, the lights of the venue dimmed, all the spotlights were aimed at the central stage, the handsome host strode on the stage, and at the same time, the passionate music sounded, and the lights in the stage changed into colorful special effects.

"Hello to all the people who came to the scene!" The moderator took the microphone and made the opening remarks.

"Welcome to the final of the 20XX Annual Book Title Reincarnation Cup."

I don't know if you've ever seen such a scene. In some civic squares, there are often some businesses that carry out propaganda activities. They would set up a rudimentary stage in the middle of the square, put some plastic chairs under the stage, and put two loudspeakers on both sides of the stage that were suspected of disturbing the people, and broadcast some rhythmic tunes.

They can't afford to invite any big stars, so they can only invite some third- and fourth-tier hosts and performers. Sometimes, the free gifts issued by merchants are more powerful and can attract some popularity. There will also be some people gathered in the audience to watch the performances and product introductions that are not interesting.

But sometimes it's more miserable, the audience is empty, there is no one, but the task assigned by the merchant still has to be completed, and the host has to pretend that there are many people in the audience to finish the scheduled lines. At this time, even if I pass by as an ordinary passerby, I feel very sorry for the hosts and performers on stage.

But at that time, I never imagined that one day, the finals of "Book Title" would fall into a similar situation. Especially when the host shouted very passionately, "Please let me hear your shouts, okay?" When trying to stir up the atmosphere, only a sparse response sounded from the audience.

Originally, the attendance rate of the stadium was low, and most of the people who came to watch the game were some old players of "Book Title", and most of us players were more Buddhist, and it was long past the time to scream at the things we liked.

In fact, the number of attendees at this year's finals was not much less than last year's, but because of the change of venue, the empty seats and large space looked particularly bleak.
