Chapter 481: Chapter 481

After the team competition ended, the results were quickly calculated.

Among them, the School of Foreign Languages won the championship of this inter-school league with a total score of 19 points, receiving a 100 million investment promised by the game officials.

Transportation University, led by the maverick, took second place with 17 points, earning a 50 million investment from the game officials.

The third place was Proud Gaze Xiaotian’s Transportation University, coming in third by just one point and obtaining a 20 million investment from the game officials.

The remaining six schools each received a small investment of 5 million.

Next were individual awards for the participating students, which won’t be elaborated on here.

In short, the audience was amazed by the game’s official generosity in this round of ’large cash’ rewards.

Finally, it was the award ceremony. Originally, Lin Yi had already planned to leave as soon as the competition ended.

However, in the end, persuaded by his teammates, he had to go on stage to receive the award as a representative of the School of Foreign Languages.

When Mu Wanqing made her grand entrance in evening attire, she instantly sparked a wave of cheers and exclamations from the audience.

Probably no one expected that they would see Mu Wanqing, this sweet song diva, and Feng Hua, the legendary champion in the game, on stage together today.

Mu Wanqing walked step by step to Lin Yi, looking at the man who was half a head taller than herself, she quietly turned off the microphone and sweetly smiled at Lin Yi:

"Is your Creation Mercenary Corps hiring?"

Lin Yi was taken aback.

The teammates behind Lin Yi turned into bystanders, making ambivalent sounds:

Even Lin Yi himself couldn’t have imagined that Mu Wanqing would ask such a question.

Truth be told, Lin Yi’s initial intention in establishing the mercenary corps was to build a professional player team, so he had never planned to casually recruit outsiders.

But now, with this famous person in front of him making such a request, it not only came as a surprise but also made Lin Yi feel a bit awkward, not knowing how to respond.

It wasn’t that Lin Yi was concerned about her identity, he just didn’t know much about her skills and character.

In his mercenary corps, there were already powerhouses like Babylon and Aiborn, and Lin Yi didn’t want anyone to uncover this secret one day.

Moreover, the most important thing was that Lin Yi hoped his team could be on call, because Lin Yi himself never knew when he might need to carry out a special task.

And for a popular star like Mu Wanqing, was it possible she would hang out in the game all day like these ’hobos’?

The answer was obvious.

Seemingly sensing Lin Yi’s difficulty, a hint of disappointment flashed in Mu Wanqing’s eyes as she chuckled:

"I was just joking, don’t take it so seriously."

Just then, the etiquette lady came over with the medals.

Mu Wanqing suddenly said:

"Thanks for the help at the snack street before."

Then she calmly turned on the microphone and took the medal handed over by the etiquette lady:

"Congratulations, Mr. Feng Hua."

Mu Wanqing placed the medal around Lin Yi’s neck and then said:

"The match just now was very exciting, you didn’t disappoint your fans’ expectations."

"I hope when the national war begins, we can still see you leading our people to conquer all directions."

To this, Lin Yi could only respond with a smile:

Mu Wanqing flashed a sweet smile, and with that, the award ceremony came to an end.

The host gave a passionate speech, bringing the inter-school league to a complete close.

As the audience was about to leave, the host suddenly said:

"Don’t rush to leave, there’s still a surprise!"

Due to the sudden Sea Race incident, the originally planned entertainment match had to be canceled temporarily, though it was a relief it wasn’t announced beforehand—they intended it as a small surprise for the audience.

With the entertainment match canceled, the game officials changed it to a random lottery.

From the audience on site, a thousand lucky viewers were selected to receive a set of exquisite gifts from the game.

Of course, these had nothing to do with Lin Yi and the others anymore.

After leaving the stage, Le Mimi rushed up to Mu Wanqing and asked excitedly:

"So, did Feng Hua agree?"

Mu Wanqing turned to look at Lin Yi on stage, forcing a smile:

Le Mimi, puzzled, caught up with her:

"What’s wrong, Sister Wanqing? You don’t look too well, did he refuse?"

"Wow, Feng Hua’s really something, turning down even Sister Wanqing."

When Lin Yi came down the stage, he saw the school leader, Yan Yong, who had been waiting for a long time.

After exchanging some courteous words, Lin Yi also declined his invitation to dinner that night, quickly greeting Xia Xiaowen before finding Zhang Xinying and others waiting backstage.

As soon as they met, Ouyang Hao handed over his phone and said:

"Boss Feng, take a look at this."

Seeing their odd expressions, Lin Yi thought something had happened.

But after reading the official event details, he exclaimed:

"And there’s the Corpse Demon Race too."

Seeing the Corpse Demon Race in the siege list, Lin Yi felt something was off, though he couldn’t quite figure out what yet.

After reading the event details, Lin Yi returned the phone to Ouyang Hao and then asked:

"What are your plans for this matter?"

Guo Shaojie chuckled:

"Knew you’d ask that."

"But I’ve already booked a hotel, so there’s no going back today."

"I’ve changed our return flight to tomorrow, so we’ll stay overnight here."

Lin Yi nodded nonchalantly:

"But let’s deduct the expenses from our Mercenary Guild’s activity funds. Don’t spend your own money on everything, it makes me feel invisible as the boss."

With the current earnings of the mercenary corps, they really weren’t short of money.

Just by selling equipment, each person could earn hundreds of thousands monthly, which seemed like a dream for Fang Zhengrong.

Who would have thought that just a few months ago, he was worried about the rent of just a few thousand dollars?

As for Wang Sijie and Wang Zixin, it went without saying.

In Wang Zixin’s words, being here felt like a dream they never wanted to wake up from.

Guo Shaojie had no objections to Lin Yi’s suggestion.

Money wasn’t an issue for Lin Yi, and even less so for him, especially since the hotel was a subsidiary of Guo Shaojie’s family business.

As everyone got in the car to head to the hotel, Dongfang Jing requested to ride in the same car as Lin Yi and sat in the front passenger seat.

On the way, Dongfang Jing in the front seat said to Lin Yi:

"The Naga clan’s actions are quite strange this time, you should be careful."

"Also, don’t involve the Titan clan this time."

Lin Yi was surprised:

"Wait, how do you know about that? I don’t recall mentioning it."

Lin Yi referred to his identity as the Clan Leader of the Titan clan.

Dongfang Jing didn’t seem to want to answer Lin Yi’s question. After saying that, she stared outside the car window, leaving Lin Yi a bit embarrassed.

Seeing Lin Yi at a loss, Zhang Xinying sitting next to him found it amusing and covered her mouth with a laugh.

Lin Yi shot her a look:

Just then, Dongfang Jing suddenly said again:

"There’s one more thing, is the Undead Mage inheritance already taken?"

"You know about that too?"

If he remembered correctly, he hadn’t mentioned this to anyone, and Yuna was from Goryeo... erh, maybe she saw some news online?

Lin Yi nodded directly:

"Yes, the one who inherited it is Yuna from the Goryeo War Zone."

Dongfang Jing suddenly turned from the front seat, glanced at Jade Qilin leaning against the car window, and said to Lin Yi:

"Do you know who the nemesis of the Undead Mage is?"

When it came to this, Lin Yi instinctively glanced at the side at Zhang Xinying.

Zhang Xinying, suddenly aware of their gaze, was startled:

"Why are you both looking at me?" Google seaʀᴄh novel-fire.ɴet

Clearly, she hadn’t been listening to their conversation at all.

"It’s good that you know."

Dongfang Jing sat back in her seat, leaving Lin Yi puzzled with her cryptic words:

"I can sense that a calamity is about to start on Rafam Continent."

Just then, the driver suddenly spoke:

"Are you talking about that game that’s really popular right now?"

"My son is playing that too. I heard you can make money from it. It seems you guys are really good at it."
