MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter - Chapter 130

Chapter 130: Chapter 130 Seating Incident

Translator: 549690339

You You, a singer who is loved by people of all ages, appealing to both sexes, is simply a rarity.

Seeing You You appear, a large crowd immediately flocked towards her, all wanting signatures and photos.

You You retained her peaceful expression, appearing almost celestial, as if nothing could perturb her tranquility. Protected by two of her female assistants, she slowly pushed through the crowd. It wasn’t due to her being arrogant, but the sheer number of fans was overwhelming, each wanting an autograph and a photo with her, and the carnival was just about to start.

The area for the players and celebrities was already nearly packed full to the brim.

“Don’t you like her music, why not go get an autograph?” Qin Feng Yi asked while watching the commotion.

Li Yao looked over indifferently then turned his head back, calmly saying, “I just like her music, that’s it. It doesn’t mean I like her as a person, I don’t care what she looks like.”

“Oh, don’t lie, big brother. It’s unbelievable that you wouldn’t be captivated by such a beautiful woman.” Daimengtong said, acting as if he had Li Yao all figured out.

“Men these days,” said Da Vinci, shaking his head in disapproval. Li Yao laughed helplessly, “What do you two young girls know?” “Huh, why is she coming over?” said Da Vinci, looking puzzled.

“Because we have the best seats, and since you guys are so blatant, no one dares to come near us.” Li Yao said dismissively.

Soon, You You had made her way over to Li Yao and his group. She gave them a slight nod before seating between her two female assistants, one of them was sitting next to Li Yao and appraised him before turning her head away.

Li Yao’s expression remained unchanged and his gaze remained focused on the center of the stadium, whereas Daimengtong mumbled, “Such a big ego, even my sister-in-law isn’t this pompous.”

At this point, the seating areas were fully occupied and there was an overwhelming number of people in the players’ area.

Looking around, Li Yao estimated there were at least ten thousand people. Celebrities and actors were definitely the minority.

There were plenty of people who play this game. Ten thousand people was just a drop in the bucket.

However, being presented with so many people who had completed some of the elite tasks was still quite a shock.

Taking into account other jurisdictions and excluding the really low-key who were not present at this carnival, among those billions of players, the number of players who had completed some of the elite tasks was probably fewer than 100,000, which was not a lot.

This could be partly due to the vast gaming map, and partly because these people kept a low profile. Many of them were unknowns.

As time went by, the number of attendees had reached its peak and suddenly Li Yao felt someone tapping on his shoulder.

“Mate, can I discuss something with you?”

“What?” Li Yao responded, startled, in the middle of his chat with Li’s sister.

“Mate, we actually reserved this seat a while ago, but we had to leave for a while and when we came back we found you sitting in it. So, could you please give up your seat. There are plenty of seats elsewhere. Could you please move?” said the tall skinny guy in a seemingly conciliatory tone, but in a way that didn’t actually invite any discussion. He clearly felt he was in the right.

Li Yao frowned slightly, not so much at this tall guy, but rather at the young man behind him, who had not even been looking at Li Yao, his eyes kept flitting to You You.

“As you just said, there are plenty of other seats, you just go there. According to your logic, I had reserved this seat yesterday, earlier than you”. Li Yao dismissed him and turned his attention elsewhere. This was obviously some self-proclaimed successful man trying to get close to You You.

Snigger….

Even the women nearby burst into laughter at Li Yao’s words. Even You You and her two assistants, though they didn’t laugh out loud, their eyes curled up into crescents.

A hint of anger flashed in the tall guy’s eyes and his tone cooled suddenly,

“Mate, watch your mouth. Otherwise…”

Li Yao raised his left hand that was wearing a communicator and said calmly, “Go on, or else what? Are you going to cut me into pieces or make me go bankrupt? Here, I’ll record what you say and send it to the police. You guys are some big shots, right? I really want to see how powerful you are.”

Although there is a big gap in social status, the concept of democracy is deeply ingrained in society. On the surface, even if you are the head of state, you cannot threaten an ordinary person.

If you are caught filming or recording, it can cause a big scandal let alone face someone else’s phone. No matter who you are, acting arrogant in public is a recipe for disaster.

The tall guy was momentarily stunned, but he recovered quickly, “Sorry mate, you misunderstood, we were just discussing.”

“I was ‘discussing’ with you too, now that our ‘discussion’ is over, I disagree. ‘ Li Yao retorted, smiling but not really laughing. After living his life for a second time, he was all too familiar with their covert and overt tactics and knew exactly how to deal with them.

“Mate, how about this, let’s make a deal,” the tall guy said, attempting to smile.

He had no choice. The second assistant to You You was sitting next to the corridor, and only Li Yao’s seat was the closest to her. “Here are five hundred thousand credit points, just for giving up your seat. Of course, we will transfer the credit points to you first, as long as you agree.”

“Aren’t you guys annoying? Just because you have money. I’ll give you one million credit points. Can you flies please just disappear?” Da Vinci waved his hand impatiently.

“As you can see, we’re in this together, and my friend is not short of money.” Li Yao shrugged.

“Alright, since this brother disagrees, let’s just sit in the back.” the young man at the front gave Li Yao a quick once-over, said in an indifferent tone.

The tall guy shot Li Yao a furious look, then he and a few others slowly took their seats behind Li Yao and his group. The player area was sizeable, so there was quite a distance between their seats and the ones in front of them, making it virtually impossible for them to have a conversation. In this bustling place, they would have to shout to be heard over this distance.

“Boss, this kid is too arrogant. Should we …” A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the tall guy’s eyes.

“You’ll handle these little things. However, don’t cause trouble in the real world. It’s too much hassle.” The young man replied casually.

“Understood. This kid must be a participant in the Elite competition too. We have a lot of people this time, along with some allies. I’ve already locked onto his aura and demeanor. I will definitely recognize him in the first round of the competition. If there’s a chance, he won’t escape. If not, we can take care of him in the second round. What do you think?” The tall guy asked gingerly.

Without comment, the young man simply nodded minutely, his eyes still fixated in You You’s direction, as if Li Yao was nothing more than an insignificant fly.

Watching Li Yao casually scanning his surroundings, Li’s sister whispered, “Be careful, that young man is no simple character. Because of this confrontation, he probably won’t bother you in real life, but he might try to trip you up during the competition.”

“Thanks for the reminder, Li sister, I’ll be careful.” Li Yao felt genuinely grateful for her profound alert.

However, he was not worried at all. In reality, as long as no one was his mortal enemy, nobody would resort to such petty tactics as it was too much trouble and had a high risk of exposure. Missteps could lead to ruin.

But in the game, what was there to fear? Now, with some period of subtle obscurity and the accumulation of power, nobody in the game could stand in his way. This was his confidence.

“No matter what tricks you have, bring them on.”

Li Yao, deep in thought, glanced back at the young man, who returned the gaze with a smile and a nod. Li Yao also smiled and nodded back. Only the two of them knew what those smiles really meant.

With the descent of a light curtain, the entire stadium plunged into darkness. The carnival was finally about to begin…
