I, the public enemy

2:30 p.m.

The e-sports room is located on the 3rd floor of the Mercury Building.

This place is decorated and built entirely to the standards of professional competitions.

Mercury Heavy Industries is the largest company in the group by market capitalization and has the greatest say within the group.

The e-sports room has a cold and austere decor.

Featuring rivet steel plates and hydraulic pipe-shaped brackets as iconic elements, the materials are mostly gray metals, and the lighting colors commonly include dark red, titanium gray, and warning yellow, showcasing a rugged and individualistic aesthetic of mechanical power.

The Mewtwo helmet has almost zero latency, perfectly synchronizing real-time neural command transmission and reception. The reclining chair is also top-of-the-line, and there is a huge screen in front of it broadcasting the scene inside the knife room.

The friendly match has already begun.

but……

Just as Liu Ziwen said, the finance director simply transferred the scholarship money directly to Wang Qing's account.

It ended before it even began.

"Is this even human?!"

The president of the Far Beyond the Void gaming club froze on the spot, staring intently at the live feed of the knife room on the giant screen.

Because it's a title defense match.

The main force was also given to Wang Qing.

Wang Qing didn't waste any words. The friendly match started, and he went straight to the ring, where he has been holding the position ever since.

They say that sticking to the old ways is too conservative.

This was a bloody massacre that shattered everyone's moral compass.

Wang Qing, who was aiming for instant success, believed that he needed to demonstrate a level far exceeding that of a high school student in order to enter the higher echelons of the Mercury Group.

People from high schools like Songyang, Runhe, Zhuoya, and Yunshu, wearing different school uniforms, felt like they had stumbled upon a ghost today. "This must be a Void Realm Grandmaster!"

As everyone knows, the Void Realm Master isn't a professional player, but he's even more terrifying than professional players. Many people are like anti-terrorist forces coming to smurf. Don't challenge my profession with your hobby.

The president of Runhe High School's gaming club was beaten to a pulp by Wang Qing. He logged out of the game, took off his helmet, and angrily took off his white school uniform jacket, extremely angry.

no……

Do high school seniors have that much time to play games? Or are they some kind of ultimate, invincible, and most hardcore otaku? They're definitely otaku emperors.

"Zhai Tiandi" is a joking term used in the makeshift hospital to refer to severely internet-addicted shut-ins.

"Holy crap, the Emperor of Homebodies!"

This is all he could say, it's too tempting and intense.

Students from Songyang, Zhuoya, and Yunshu came one after another.

Another ten minutes passed.

It has developed to its current state.

What friendly match?

Individual battles and team battles are all gone.

It has completely become Wang Qing's personal show.

In a high school friendly match, the upper limit of cultivation level is naturally set at the peak of the early stage of Qi Refining.

Team battles are further divided into 3V3 and 5V5 competitions. Under esports rules, a single room can only allow a maximum of ten players to compete simultaneously.

But in team battles.

Wang Qing's teammates were all slacking off. Liu Ziwen, one of the top ten students in the monthly exam, and a female member of the gaming club didn't move an inch; they were all numb.

Just being there in the knife room, watching Wang Qing take on 5 opponents single-handedly.

In the early stages of Qi Refining, there is very little room for manipulation, which can be divided into weak and strong game strategies.

In a weak game, players rely on various scattered spells and movement techniques to slowly maneuver around the opponent.

Strong game is simple and mindless. Spiritual energy is attached to the physical body, and a powerful brick flies in a head-on confrontation. Under the pressure of being inferior in both damage and speed, the opponent can only be forced to make a choice.

Wang Qing only chose to engage in high-stakes games, using [martial arts] to gain an absolute advantage against multiple opponents when both sides had only 1000 points to allocate.

He moved like lightning, weaving through the five men's attacks. His punches and kicks were so fast that they left only afterimages, and he defeated all five of them in a short time. Within seconds, they were all sent flying like kites with broken strings, all defeated.

Not just students.

The staff at Mercury Heavy Industries who organized this friendly match were also terrified; some of them had been working there for twenty or thirty years.

I've never encountered anything so outrageous and defying the heavens.

A staff member noticed the person coming in through the entrance and immediately stood up. What was the president doing here?

"total……"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Ye Qinghan gestured for them to stop, intending to keep a low profile.

The high-waisted trousers accentuated her already tall and slender figure, making her look even more striking. Her shoes were not women's leather shoes, but high-top tactical boots that stomped loudly on the ground.

The man in the Tang suit also had a female assistant following behind Ye Qinghan.

Because Qi Du was incompetent and lacked decision-making ability, Ye Qinghan had been transferred to Cangzhou for more than ten years, and this was the first time he had come to watch a high school competition.

But the atmosphere at the scene was a bit off.

Based on her understanding of education companies, she would have surely urged the students to maintain high standards of conduct, but the scene was somewhat chaotic, and she even heard students swearing.

The atmosphere was so lively, it felt like a real friendly match.

"Let's dedicate ourselves to Zhuoya High School, and unleash the Flame Fist on him!"

"Visionary Daze!"

"So, it still can't satisfy the Otaku Emperor?"

Many students have given up and started making memes, saying things like, "What's the point of me making memes about this? I'm done, bro."

To know.

Mercury Heavy Industries organizes this competition to find talent capable of equipping themselves with high-level immortal battle armor and remotely operating puppet machines.

It was purposeful.

I can't even imagine how awesome this guy from Gaozhou would be if he wore armor. He could probably become an armed police officer and take down the underworld.

It took less than an hour.

The friendly match is almost over.

Ended early.

Wang Qing defended his title until the very end, defeating all the high school challengers until no one else dared to challenge him.

"What's going on?"

Ye Qinghan asked the management staff present, "I didn't expect it to end so soon after we arrived. What's the point of watching now?"

"He's a student from a high school, quite..."

The management initially wanted to say "amazing," but since this was a project they were in charge of, and this person's presence would help secure project funding, they changed their tune. However, it was true to some extent; using exaggerated terms was perfectly acceptable. "He's incredibly freakish, like a monster, unlike anything we've ever seen before. Even in 5v5 team battles, he doesn't need his teammates to lift a finger; he can take on five opponents single-handedly, and it's a complete rout. He's already defeated all the high schools."

"1v5?"

Qi Du, as a former professional player, believed that this was simply impossible. Under the rules of esports, the virtual world mechanism is very balanced. Unless there is a complete gap and several levels are skipped, there is a slight possibility that this situation might occur. It is also necessary to consider that this person has completely figured out all of the opponent's strategies.

"If you say so, then it is indeed something new."

Ye Qinghan knew that the project leader was a cautious person, which could only mean that the student was indeed powerful.

But it's not a big deal.

I missed the match, I should go back and study the documents.

at this time.

Having achieved complete victory, Wang Qingdeng exited the game and removed his helmet.

Discrimination based on cultivation level is a idiotic statement aimed at maintaining social stability.

The strength of makeshift hospitals is paramount.

Yuanyue's CFO was beaming with joy as he strode over to greet the hero, confident that the investment in Yuanyue was now secure.

But Wang Qing didn't want to hug him and reached out to stop him.

He still had something to say.

■■The Demon Lord feels no sense of accomplishment from beating up children.

The prerequisite for having connections is whether one can take on and exchange corresponding resources. Wang Qing has the ability to take on and exchange the resources of Mercury Heavy Industry.

Therefore, he can still make outrageous statements right now.

He wasn't there to beat up kids; he wanted to torment the top executives of Mercury Group, otherwise how could he infiltrate and control them?

"None of them will work. Isn't there such a setting, the championship match, the championship match for the champion?"

Many people used to reserve positions in the company in advance through this competition and joined the Mercury Group after graduation.

I'm thinking of meeting some of the top performers from previous years; I'm sure some of them are in the company right now.

Let's find out if Mercury Group's hiring process is really that lax.

Wang Qing spoke calmly, yet his words were rude.

This completely terrified the finance director of Yuanyue. "What the hell are you talking about?"

This statement offended everyone present, including all the students and the Mercury Group.

Upon closer inspection, Qi realized that this was the student who had answered the phone during the group photo that morning.

Ye Qinghan then stopped in her tracks.
