Chapter 573 - 411: Building Momentum
After learning about the King Becoming Plan, Lin Feng knew that the government and the Glory Alliance were about to start creating momentum for it.
Although the Space Gate in the Land of Chaos has been closed, the subsequent impact is still ongoing.
With prices soaring and people restless, there is indeed a need for a way to divert people’s attention.
The current professional league, with its players under heavy criticism and mockery, certainly can no longer capture people’s attention.
The emergence of the King Becoming Plan will replace the Glory League and become a nationwide hot topic and frenzy.
After having dinner at the hotel, it was customary for the family to chat and watch TV an hour after the meal.
As soon as they turned on the TV, many news channels had already started reporting on the King Becoming Plan.
"So fast."
Lin Feng was surprised by the speed.
The memorial had just ended, and there was not even time for people to grieve before the momentum-building had begun.
On TV and the internet, all trending topics were replaced by this topic.
On the martial artist forums, netizens started discussing wildly.
"Wow, the King Becoming Plan, it sounds powerful!"
"It’s not just the sound; it’s genuinely powerful! With countries worldwide investing, the survival of the fittest principle, the world’s strong competing to become a king, just thinking about it is exciting!"
"Three ways, and we can even vote for trainees, this is great!"
"No wonder I was wondering why so many former professional players appeared in Shangjing recently, turns out it’s for this plan!"
"Just some useless people, not even daring to enter the Land of Chaos! I definitely won’t choose these people!"
"Right, some useless, I choose Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi!"
"Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing have just broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, their strength is a bit weak, even if they become trainees, they can’t become kings, if they are eliminated, it would be a waste of precious slots!"
"Yes, the slots are so precious, wasting them would be such a pity."
Netizens were wildly commenting, and Lin Feng was browsing through them on his phone.
As top-ten all-stars, Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing were already very popular, and their voluntary retirement to break through to the Grandmaster Realm to enter the Land of Chaos made their popularity soar to its peak, with a dramatic increase in fans.
The popularity might have risen, but as he expected, if their strength didn’t meet the requirements, they would definitely not get many votes, as the fans are still rational.
After all, it is the King Becoming Plan, with everything aimed at becoming a king.
"The viewership of this King Becoming Plan is definitely going to be more terrifying than the Glory League, advertisers are going to go crazy."
"These retired professional players seem to be making a big fortune again, so lucky!"
"Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing are a bit of a pity, if their strength were just a little stronger, they would have hope! Such a pity, otherwise they could earn a huge sum in endorsement fees."
The family watched the TV, amazed by this plan, Old Ma was obviously very interested, frequently sharing his views, mainly from an economic perspective.
While Ma Lele suddenly looked at Lin Feng, a bit excited, and asked: "Brother, do you know about this King Becoming Plan?"
"Yes, but I only found out this afternoon."
"Will you participate?"
Ma Lele continued to ask with an expectant look.
"Nonsense, this plan is for Ninth Grade experts only, how can your brother participate?" Lin Kerou pinched Ma Lele’s chubby cheek and said.
"Oh."
Ma Lele was a bit disappointed, but quickly recovered, after all, her brother was strong with a brilliant record, but only Sixth Grade invincible, how could he compare with those Ninth Grade experts.
Even if he participated, it would be something years later.
"What a pity! Such a pity!"
Ma Lele clutched a pillow, lamenting.
In her view, if Lin Feng’s strength met the requirements, with his popularity, netizens would definitely vote for him.
"It’s possible!"
Lin Feng said with a smile, and the family didn’t take it seriously, thinking it was just a joke.
At this time, they did not know that Lin Feng had already broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, nor did they know that he acquired the key and closed the Space Gate.
If this news were disclosed, it would be easy for Lin Feng to gain a slot.
Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing are the same, as long as they can demonstrate their strength, given their popularity, it wouldn’t be a problem.
The real challenge is to get slots for all members of the Avengers Alliance.
One person’s power is limited, even a King could fall at any moment.
Even the emperors who are highly revered and supported nationwide cannot change the course of the battle.
This is why Lin Feng established the Avengers Alliance.
Only if all members of the alliance grow strong will they have the confidence to contend with the emperors, and have the opportunity to change the direction of future wars.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng suddenly remembered that he was still an Apostle candidate.
The Apostle task continues.
In the Land of Chaos, he initially thought he would encounter other Apostle candidates or face assassination attempts, but nothing happened.
However, it is understandable.
In the Land of Chaos, when power is suppressed, as long as one isn’t foolish, seeing their combat strength would logically lead them to abandon assassination attempts.
"The King Becoming Plan has come out, I wonder if this will change the Apostle tasks?"
Lin Feng thought to himself.
The King Becoming Plan will start in half a year and will definitely attract the attention of all Ninth Grade experts.
The other Apostle candidates, as well as some Apostles whose strength hasn’t reached King Level, will certainly participate.
With the King Becoming Plan in place, Lin Feng is no longer desperate to become an Apostle.
Back then, he wanted to become an Apostle mainly to solve the Nightmare problem and become a King.
Now that the road to becoming a King is laid out before him, there’s naturally no need to urgently become an Apostle.
Lin Feng is already somewhat regretting his hasty decision.
But this damn Apostle task still needs to be solved, dragging it out is not a solution.
"Bro, look."
Lin Feng’s gaze was drawn back to the TV again by his sister’s exclamation, where extraordinary-looking handsome men and beautiful women appeared on the screen, all of them past All-Star players.
From Yun Tianqi’s mouth, Lin Feng knew the content of the meeting, so he wasn’t surprised by the appearance of these All-Star players, just a bit sentimental.
These former professional players were the youthful memories of a generation, accompanying their growth.
Lin Feng also grew up watching these people’s matches.
For students, at least ninety out of a hundred want to enter the Professional Alliance, and Lin Feng is no exception.
Information and matches about professional players have always been the most focused and enthusiastic topics among students.
It doesn’t matter whether they do homework or sleep, but watching matches is a must.
Zhang Junhao, Wang Tianlu, Fu Xinyue, Xu Mingwei, Chen Tiansheng...
The faces appearing on TV, Lin Feng can quickly and accurately name them, as well as their Lifebound Demon Spirit they have refined, the names and effects of their Soul Skills, their Combat Professions, and even their fighting habits.
Among these people, some were his childhood idols, the goals he strived for.
His original room still houses a collection of many of their posters and cards.
A generation’s memories indeed!
Just this special nostalgic appeal alone is enough to earn these former professional players a lot of votes, not to mention their original outstanding talents and extraordinary strength.
"The King Becoming plan begins, the questioned Glory League will also undergo changes, these retired All-Star players who seldom appear before the public are obviously here for the arrival of the King Becoming plan!"
"As the memories of a generation, even though they appear less these years, they still have a lot of fan support. If a third avenue is used to gain seats, few might be able to compete with them!"
"Of course, these former All-Star players have talent and strength, if they become students and participate in the King Becoming plan, indeed there’s a great chance for them to become Kings!"
"The major clubs that were originally shut down are now also getting busy, seemingly preparing for the upcoming voting!"
Familiar faces flash by, the host’s analysis voice is heard.
However, what truly caught Lin Feng’s attention was Yun Tianqi’s injured appearance.
In the image, Yun Tianqi looks somewhat embarrassed, with multiple bloody wounds on his body.
"During this meeting, the players clearly broke out in conflict, Yun Tianqi got injured, but it’s not serious."
No footage of the fight, just one photo, not even mentioning who he had the conflict with, but even without introductions, Lin Feng can guess.
Zhao Zhou!
The former captain of the Thunder Team, also Yun Tianqi’s former captain.
Lin Feng was born in Jiang City, and the Thunder Club’s headquarters is also in Jiang City, as a local club, Lin Feng knows Zhao Zhou well.
Yun Tianqi’s conflict with him is well-known, it’s likely him.
"Afraid of losing face?"
Lin Feng’s lips curved into a smile, his team member was bullied, he naturally has to restore face.
Ding-dong.
The notification sound of a group message rings, this was the group he formed, named after the alliance: Avengers Alliance, with fourteen members.
Opening it up, he sees it’s a voice message from Yu Qiao.
"Yun Qi, got beaten up huh!"
His usual gloating tone, deliberately calling Yun Tianqi by Yun Qi.
Very soon, Yun Tianqi replied with an awkward emoji.
Yue Mingming: "What happened?"
Zhan Tianyu: "Was it Zhao Zhou who made a move?"
Ye Qiu: "Anyone else?"
The group quickly livens up, since it’s been exposed already, there’s nothing to hide, Yun Tianqi felt embarrassed not saying, so quickly Ye Xing explains to everyone.
Yu Qiao: Suddenly they start fighting, locked eyes? Plus Xu Mingwei? Those two cheeky brats better not meet me next time.
Everyone sends a rolling eyes emoji. Yun Tianqi isn’t even an opponent, and you?
Although we hadn’t seen the fight, everyone knows Zhao Zhou’s strength very well.
Even among last year’s All-Stars, his strength could rank in the top five.
Former All-Star players, they’re not ordinary characters, in a one-on-one, except for Lin Feng, they really aren’t opponents.
Yu Qiao: What about Lin Feng? Why is he silent? Team member gets beaten, the captain has no reaction?
After the Land of Chaos, Lin Feng’s position as captain has become an acknowledged fact, and no one has any objections.
Yu Qiao continues to probe: Captain? Captain?
He obviously fearlessly stirs trouble.
Yun Tianqi deliberately asks: Captain, I got bullied, how to handle?
Ye Qiu: Captain, how to handle?
Dong Yunan: Captain, how to handle?
Zhan Tianyu: Captain, how to handle?
Even the usually lurking Yun Kai joins the fun: Captain, how to handle?
Looking at the group messages, Lin Feng smiles and replies with six words: Handle it with the King Becoming plan!
