Translator: 549690339

By the time Li Yao logged out, it was already morning in the real world. Li Yao tidied up, grabbed something to eat, changed into clean clothes, and then headed out the door.

With one hour left until the carnival began, Li Yao took a vehicle directly to the stadium, arriving within ten minutes.

This stadium was one of the largest in Mingzhu City, and in fact, the world.

Built with the latest technology and materials, the stadium could accommodate half a million people.

The design of the stadium, when viewed from above, was like a Taoist symbol, with seating arranged according to the principles of Chinese cosmology. Despite its massive capacity, the seats appeared row upon row without any sense of crowding, earning it the nickname “Miracle Stadium”.

Outside the stadium, there was a sea of people, yet due to different entrances being allocated according to ticket types, it all seemed orderly.

Those having received Elite Profession quests held special invitations, and entered through a separate channel meant for players and performers.

Li Yao presented his invitation, which was scanned by an electronic eye, and was then allowed to pass.

Looking around, Li Yao noticed many players from other administrative regions. They all inspected each other, as they were all competitors.

The competitors were not seated in the regular stands, but instead right on the stadium floor.

Some of the track lanes were converted into competitors’ seating sections, surrounding the field. In the center was a massive stage along with competition areas and various projection equipment.

This was a mixed zone for performers and competitors. By the time Li Yao arrived, it was already filled with people. Many had nabbed the best spots. He even spotted several famous actors and singers. They were not due to perform until the afternoon and evening, so they were not busy preparing just yet.

Many of the competitors clustered around stars asking for autographs and photos. Those stars, happy to fulfill their fans’ requests, were aware that these elite players were not ordinary folks. They themselves had their second IDs to conceal their identities in-game.

It was quite possible that these players would achieve success in the future. Plus, many of them were part of major guilds and teams, some even making more money than the celebs. So, there was a pleasant camaraderie here.

Li Yao sent a message to Sweet Dolly, “Where are you, kiddo?”

“We’re right in front of the stage and saved a spot for you,” Sweet Dolly replied.

“Alright, I’m headed over there now.” Li Yao moved towards the pointed-out location.

Li Yao quickly found the spot with four familiar figures.

Among them were Feng Yi, Sweet Dolly, and two women he didn’t recognize; one a little older and the other about his sister’s age.

“Over here!” Feng Yi gestured.

Their group was very noticeable with two stunning beauties, an adorable little girl, and a cute young woman. Anyone would turn to look. Seeing Feng Yi waving at Li Yao, the crowd turned their gaze towards him, overwhelming him.

Many self-proclaimed handsome guys, and even some male celebs had tried to initiate conversations but were completely ignored, resulting in an awkward situation. Seeing Li Yao get singled out by Feng Yi caused an understandable wave of jealousy.

“Wow, so this is what Big Brother looks in real life. I think you looked more handsome in-game,” Sweet Dolly assessed as Li Yao approached.

“You, however, are even more annoying in real life.” Li Yao tousled her hair with a smile.

“Cut it out! Haven’t you heard that men and women should avoid undue familiarity,” Sweet Dolly brushed his hand off and coughed for effect, “Let me introduce you. This absolute beauty is my sister-in-law. Just so you know, any funny ideas are out of the question. Sister-in-law, this is the guy I met in-game, who’s quite arrogant and naughty. So you better be on your guard.”

A smiling, speechless Li Yao had to admit that Sweet Dolly was not wrong. Her sister-in-law was indeed an unparalleled beauty. Besides her extraordinary looks, her elegant demeanor was intoxicating.

Li Yao extended his hand, “Nice to meet you. I’m Li Yao, I’ve heard a lot about you from Sweet Dolly. Today, seeing you in person, I can say your reputation precedes you.”

“Oh, you flatter me! My surname is also Li. Sweet Dolly always talks about you and I appreciate the care you have shown her. Considering that I am probably older than you, feel free to call me Sister Li instead,” her voice was as soothing as a gentle stream.

Feng Yi chimed in, “This is Da Vinci, another friend from the game. You can just call her by her in-game name. She’s also a top player and has received Elite Profession quests, mainly handling supporting roles.”

Li Yao didn’t need her to spell it out for him. To reach this area, one needed an invitation, and to acquire an invitation, one usually had completed some part of an Elite quest.

Li Yao’s eyes lit up, he extended his hand again, “Miss, are you part of a team? Would you like to join ours?”

“Absolutely! I already applied to Feng Yi. She told me you had to agree to it. I hope you’ll look after me, old man,” Da Vinci was another natural beauty, especially her lively eyes, which had a playful spark to them.

“Young lady, I am not that old. You can call me brother,” Li Yao groaned.

“Okay, old man,” Da Vinci winked, and then pointed towards a spot next to Sister Li and said, “Old man, you sit there. I’ll sit here and protect the two beauty queens from the flies trying to nab this spot.”

The other three women all burst into laughter at her comment.

A helpless Li Yao shook his head and sat by Sister Li.

However, internally, he was delighted to meet a committed heale and a supporting Elite Profession. Whether to either category, all guilds worked hard to recruit such players. He was lucky to have stumbled upon one.

Now, with a Sacred Teaching warrior as the main tank, Priest and Da Vinci as supports, the primary structure of a ten person group was formed.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the players’ area as the crowd broke into uproar.

Sweet Dolly gasped as she looked in the direction of the actors’ area, “It’s You

You!”

Li Yao also noticed You You slowly walking towards the actors’ spot and he was taken by surprise, he didn’t expect her to be in the players’ area.

You You was an overnight sensation, who in just the last couple of years had created quite a stir in China’s pop music scene. Despite her short career, each of her songs was a national hit, with sweeping popularity worldwide. She ruled all music charts without competition.

Her voice was described as heavenly, enchanting the listeners for days.

Furthermore, she was the only singer who could captivate listeners of all age groups. Men and women, old and young, all fell under the spell of her voice. Off-stage, she was hailed as the uncrowned queen of the music industry.

Combined with her ethereal beauty, she was the fantasy of countless admirers…
