This was like kids playing house. Yao Ailun clearly had no intention of staying in this industry.
"Keke, Mr Yao, how could you not abide by the rules? You're no newcomer yourself, how can you just change here and there?"
"Isn't this an entertainment match? And you never said changes were not allowed?"
"It's not that. We need to do pre-match promotions, to live up to our sponsors requests. We have a standard to respect here."
"The person I invited is of the highest standard!" Yao Ailun said.
The organizer in charge Lee Duo guffawed. "I say, Yao Ailun. You just keep your head down and finish the last match properly. Stop fooling around. If it wasn't for the sake of Old Deer, no one would even bother to listen to your rubbish!"
"I'm serious."
"Keke, and who was that noob from the last round? Someone from the entertainment circle, or a passerby? If you could even get some third-rate star, I would stay silent. Do you even dare to reveal the identity!" Lee Duo could not help saying. This brat just did not know when to back down.
"Lin Huiyin."
"And which unsavory slum did this Lin Hui… Oh, the one from Aslan?" It suddenly dawned on Lee Duo.
"That's right."
After a slight pause, Lee Duo exploded with laughter. "You must be sick in the brain. If you can actually invite Lin Huiyin, then you must be my biological father!"
"Ah, Ailun, you actually have such an old son?" A moving voice was heard.
Lee Duo was petrified. He rubbed his eyes. F*ck, was this for real?
Princess of Aslan???
The most popular soul singer of the day, participating in this?
"I wonder if I am qualified to join?" Lin Huiyin said cheekily. Brother Wang Zheng was really bad as well, to taunt people like that. But these people really had an evil eye, to dare to bully Yao Ailun.
"Qualified, qualified. Definitely qualified! Father, er… Brother Ailun, erm. Say, about this incident, a great guy like yourself would definitely forgive my lowly mistake. This is definitely a mystery VIP. I expected no less, no less, I say! This is all my mistake!"
Lee Duo was a guy who knew which way the wind was blowing. He wouldn't even mind calling him ancestor, let alone father. For eminence like Lin Huiyin to actually consent to participate in such a small program was really unnatural.
"And the other person is?" Lee Duo suddenly recalled.
Lin Huiyin fluttered her lashes. "A secret."
"Yes, yes, yes. A secret, confidential. I won't ask more." Lee Duo felt suddenly lighter. A small fry like himself had actually spoken to Highness Huiyin. He could brag for life about this!
"That's fine then. We'll be preparing." Yao Ailun switched off the Skylink.
Lee Duo felt different now. He was on cloud nine.
At this time, a worker walked over. "Boss, it's starting soon. Is the directorial intent to favor Mu Guang's side? This is Mu Guang's request. Yao Ailun's team doesn't have anything anyway, we might as well give up on them."
"You worthless piece of garbage. Contract Mu Guang to just 2 minutes, tops. Give 10 minutes to Brother Ailun's team!"
"Keke, Boss, that wouldn't be too good, would it?" The worker was wondering if the boss man had mixed up the teams.
"Haha, the whole of me is not feeling too good right now. Go and broadcast Princess Huiyin's music immediately, and also hint that she's the mystery guest from the last match." Lee Duo could not keep the cat in the bag anymore. "Right, go, and bring drinks and things to Brother Ailun. Send the best make-up artists over. Send all the best things over!"
"Boss, this will raise accusations of playing politics…"
"Get moving, you pig-head! Princess Huiyin is the guest that Brother Ailun invited! Forget it, I'll personally go! Bunch of pigs!"
Lee Duo left with a swagger.
Highness Huiyin?
The worker was stunned. F*ck, was that possible? Did the sun rise from the west today?
On the official site, a new announcement was immediately put up: Who is the mystery guest?
In the background was Lin Huiyin's song. This was too obvious a hint for anybody to miss, only nobody believed it.
Mu Guang had heard the news as well. "Lin Huiyin? That's the funniest thing I've heard in my life. If he can invite Lin Huiyin, I'll eat this table!"
"You say Lee Duo has gone over?"
Invite Lin Huiyin?
This was the stuff of dreams…
But such thoughts were not left alone for too long. As the competition time neared, the official website gave the answer – Lin Huiyin!
In just 3 minutes, the popularity exploded, and the view count rose to 20 million.
In this situation, many people were still doubting.
When the audience saw the clashing teams, they discovered that Prince had been substituted, which meant that there was one more mystery guest.
This slot must be for the professional player. After all, each team needed a pro, otherwise it would be too meaningless.
When Lin Huiyin's image appeared to greet everybody, the whole channel went crazy. The numbers rose steadily, and the sponsors were crazy with joy. This was like biscuits falling from the sky. If they had known that a heavy-duty star like Lin Huiyin was appearing, they would have taken the sponsorship request even at 20 times the price.
This Yao Ailun actually had such connections, it overturned the heavens. He was too low-profile, too low-profile!
Word spread that Yao Ailun had invited Lin Huiyin, even if she was not present live. But even just participation was out of every expectation, but had happened.
In an instant, Goddess Ziyan evaporated.
A real goddess had appeared!
But the competition still had to go on.
All the media had vanished. It was obvious where they had gone.
They wanted to be the first after the competition ended to interview the noble Brother Ailun.
Both sides entered the arena. The walkover final had suddenly become super hot.
Prince was actually guest commentating as well.
The introductions of the teams began. "Ailun Super Cool team, bringing out everybody's idol, Goddess Huiyin, her Highness!"
The broadcast room was just about exploding.
The princess' popularity was unparalleled, and the entire planet paid attention.
The popularity broke 30 million without a sweat.
"The tank is of course Ailun, who everybody knows and loves. He has brought us countless pleasant surprises. Let us welcome him with warm applause."
Countless mecha cookies began to flood in. It was at an uncontrollable stage. Things were really going crazy. Suddenly, Ailun had become incomparably important.
Who could have thought that the same Yao Ailun who always depended on Old Deer actually knew the Aslan princess?
"The 3rd member, is another mystery guest, and the leader, playing a support position. Now some of you may be asking why I got kicked out. Let's just say this. If it was anybody else, I would be extremely indignant. In the CT industry, I give no face to anybody weaker than me, and has been here for a shorter time than myself. But when this person comes, I can only back down. This is my idol."
The crowd was in an uproar. This was really mind-blowing. Prince was beyond reproach. At his peak, he was always number one, and although some of the players now could beat him, but that did not mean they were comparable to him at his peak. His idol?
Who was it?
This lineup seemed suddenly dangerous.
Sun Tianxiong's teeth were itching. F*ck this sudden surprise. Who cared if you were a princess or not. He would still thrash them all. Showing off needed to be backed by ability!
He was without doubt the number 1 in the Earth zone!
And to Mu Guang's way of looking at it, there was only one way to win back the crowd, and that was to beat the opponent. Princess Aslan was clearly an amateur, and Yao Ailun's standard was not as good as his own. The mystery guest could not be much. At least, no one in the professional industry would help him. An amateur pro, damn, he would be beaten with one hand tied behind their backs.
Entering mecha selection screen.
The support mystery guest… picked Wind God support, and also added magnetic source support equipment.
Was this even viable?
