Noob Player Chapter 107
Advertisement
When Sky China Branch announced they would open the second press conference, the media flocked into the Sky Headquarters. Director Guan Mu Shen told the media that a player had discovered magic, and he told the media as well that Olympus' prediction slipped.
He explained to the media that Olympus was not completely wrong about the prediction. Olympus predicted that there was only less than one percent chance a player discovered magic in two months and eight days. The media asked the player's in-game name who discovered magic, but as always, Sky kept their silence regarding that.
"We will not disclose the player's identity unless he or she agrees to. In this case, we never asked the player and never intended to disclose the player's identity." That was Guan Mu Sheng's answer when the media asked about the player's identity.
Of course, the magic discovery was not the only bomb in the press conference. Sky was using this chance to announce the most important thing in the E-sport's scene.
"We have good news for the pro player. Sky will hold the first PVP Tournament, Pro Championship, and Rookie Championship! We will hold an open qualifier in a separate server from the main server, and the play-off round will be held at Shanghai International Dome!"
That was indeed big news, especially to pro players who were living from the game. While most of the pro players got a salary from their contract with the organization, a bonus prize from a tournament was big for them. The inspired player also needed such an event to get noticed by the E-Sport team.
Thanks to the Press Conference, the Official Forum became the most visited site during this time. First, many people were looking for the first player that discovered the magic. They hoped the player would share the way to learn magic. Second, Players were looking for the tournament rules as well. Sky posted the rules and policies of the tournament on the forum.
Almost all players registered for the tournament after Sky announced the total prize for the tournament. The prize was 60 million Yuan for China Region, 50 million for the Pro Championship, and 10 million for the Rookie Championship.
The two categories were classified based on level. The Rookie Championship's level cap was level 30. Players with level 31 and above could not take part in the Rookie Championship. Those players could only take part in the Pro Championship.

"We have to level up if we want to take part in the Rookie Championship!" Ming was one of the most excited in the group when he heard about the tournament. It was understandable as he had to show the result to his parents that he could live by playing the game. Winning the tournament was a way to win his parents' approval.

"You are level 24 already, it's us who need to raise our level, or else it's hard for us to reach the play-off," Dale rolled his eyes at his friend. He, Yue, and Liu Zhong were only training all this time. Even though they received a bonus stat from training, it was not enough if they wanted to reach the play-off.
"I think I will pass the first tournament. I still need training, and I will not raise my level for now." Liu Zhong told everyone that he would take part in the Rookie Championship despite the tempting prize. He would not ruin his character by raising his level which made training less effective.
"What about you, Yue?" Ming then asked their Goddess. However, the latter was in a daze. She did not listen to them and what they were talking about.
"Hoi! What are you thinking about, Yue?" ZhenZhen shook the girl's hand, only then she snapped out of her daze, "What? Yes, what?"
ZhenZhen shook her head. "They are talking about the tournament. Will you take part in the Rookie Championship?"
"Ah, the tournament. I don't know yet, I will think about it," she smiled at everyone. Her smile was an effective weapon as they returned her smile with a smile as well.
At this time, Shen logged in and came out of his house. He waved his hand at everyone and greeted them with a smile, "Good morning, everyone!"
Of course, his left arm was still missing. There was nothing they could do unless getting a potion from the city. However, they were nowhere near an establishment or a city. Shen had tried to get into the respawn spot, but that did not regenerate his missing arm.
"What about you, Shen? Will you take part in the tournament?" Ming immediately asked.
Shen sat next to Dale and shook his head. "I don't know, but I think it will just waste my time if I take part in the tournament with a missing arm. I would rather hunt the monsters instead."
When he brought up his missing arm, everyone looked worried as they looked at his missing arm. Shen quickly noticed that. "Don't feel bad. This is not your fault. However, I will try to participate. I have a big advantage that everyone does not have, my Frost Elemental Frost." Shen grinned at them, showing his white teeth.
When he brought up about magic, Ming's face soured. That was indeed a big advantage for Shen. No, it could not be considered as a big advantage, but a cheat instead, as he was the only one who could use magic in the tournament.

"Why don't you take part in the Pro Championship instead, Shen? I think you might win even against the pros with your cheat." Dale proposed a good idea. The first place's prize for the Pro Championship was 20 million Yuan, five more times compared to Rookie Championships' first place's prize, which was only 4 million Yuan.
"That's a good idea, actually." ZhenZhen agreed with Dale's idea. She had seen the magic. Shen had a chance to win first place with his magic.
"Guys, don't forget that I have a handicap. On top of that, I can only use my magic one time with my current mana. I don't think that's a good idea." Shen shook his head. He was mechanically noob compared to the pro. He was not going to embarrass himself by joining The Pro Championship.
"I think you should just die and get your arm back. It's 20 million, Shen, not 2 thousand Yuan! I think it's worth it!" Ming encouraged Shen. Of course, there was a selfish reason he encouraged Shen to join the Pro Championship. So they would not meet at the Rookie Championship.
"I will think about it later." Shen waved his hand. "I need to reach at least level 30 if I want to join the tournament." He then looked at ZhenZhen. "Do you have any… Wait, I still have some leftovers from yesterday."
Shen then remembered that he still had a lot of roasted fish. He took out the roasted fish and filled his hunger. Even though he said that deep inside, Shen was contemplating joining the Pro Championship. 20 million was too big for him to miss that.
After finishing his meal, everyone was starting their morning routine, the training. ZhenZhen was the second person to stop the training. Her master said that it was enough for her. Ming decided to hunt the monster by himself, leaving Shen, ZhenZhen, and Brother Jiang.
"Ah, I forgot to give you guys this yesterday." They were brainstorming, thinking of a way to regenerate his arm without killing him. After hours, they got no result, and Shen decided to log off since he had been playing a lot. He forgot to give the monster's carcasses to ZhenZhen.
Shen took out Ice Vultures, six stacks of Ice Vultures, and one big Ice Boa. "A new ingredient, and might be new material as well."
The first one to approach the carcasses was ZhenZhen. She immediately inspected the Ice Boa. The enormous size of the Ice Boa filled the open space in the village. ZhenZhen inspected the part where the Ice Boa was cut. She was inspecting the texture of the meat.
WealthyGuy overcame his shock and approached the Ice Boa's body as well. He rubbed the Ice Boa's skin. It was a weird scene as Brother Jiang closed his eyes as he felt the snake leather. This was a game. The blacksmith should have the ability to appraise the material, so it was weird when Brother Jiang did it.
"Huuu, I can make armor… I don't think I can without minerals," Brother Jiang shook his head dejectedly. "But I can make you guys new clothes with this. There's a chance that the clothes will increase your armor as well."
"I have more for you, Brother Jiang." Shen smiled and took out the Wrath Club. It was a big wooden club, but it was a much better weapon than everyone else's weapon in this village. "Can you do something about this? Maybe make a new weapon from this?" Shen wished that Brother Jiang could make a sword with the Wrath Club.
Brother Jiang's eyes widened in surprise when he inspected the Wrath Club's information. He inspected the Wrath Club carefully, just like what he did to the Ice Boa's skin.
"I don't know if I can make something for you with this, but I will try my best. I need to do some experiments first. Do you have more of this Wrath Club?" Brother Jiang asked Shen with hopeful eyes. The blacksmith was so happy getting new material.
"I have ten stacks. I will give you three stacks, and share the remaining Wrath Clubs with the others." Shen took out seven stacks of Wrath Club and gave all of them to Brother Jiang.
