General India Official Professional League, referred to as GPL.

At the entrance time, tens of thousands of spectators lined up in an orderly manner at the door waiting for ticket checking. The east gate and the west gate opened at the same time, and people entered from both sides at the same time.

Several spokespersons who were invited to participate in the exhibition arrived one after another, and were led by the staff to the backstage through the fast track. Lu Jinchao arrived earlier, and had already changed into the same cosplay costume as when he was officially announced as the spokesperson, and was waiting in the lounge to go on stage.

It is said to be the same style because this time it is no longer a one-size-fits-all size, but is tailor-made according to his body shape.

There was a knock on the door: "Excuse me, is Teacher Lu here?"

Lu Jinzhao stood up and opened the door. It was the organizer who looked a little anxious. He stepped aside and invited him in: "What can I do for you?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu. The thing is, our celebrity players will have a singing session at the beginning. They will sing an official fan song. Originally, Mr. Ai Bing, who is a professional singer, was scheduled to sing, but he just told us that his throat is uncomfortable and he can't sing. Now we have to temporarily replace him. It's too late to contact other spokespersons because the show is about to start. I've seen you in the talent show and know that you have great singing skills. Do you think you can save the situation? You can make any requests, and we will try our best to meet them."

The official will release two fan songs every year, inviting well-known singers of different styles to sing them in the spring and autumn seasons respectively. Lu Jinchao knew this practice, but this year, for the first time, they found a spokesperson for the game, and one of the spokespersons happened to be a singer, so they didn't specially invite another one. He was silent for a moment: "Okay, which one?"

"Thank you, thank you. I'll add you as a friend and send you the audio file." The person in charge's expression changed from worry to joy. She happily opened her phone, added WeChat and started transferring the audio file. "This song, this song! It's new! It hasn't been put on any music platform yet!"

"By the way, can you sign an autograph for me? I'm your fan." She took out a signature board from somewhere and looked at Lu Jinzhao with sparkling eyes.

After Lu Jinzhao signed mechanically, she quickly took a selfie with her phone while holding the signature board. Taking advantage of Lu Jinzhao's confusion, she ran away in a hurry: "Listen first, I won't bother you anymore. I'll ask the higher-ups to increase your salary. I'm sure you won't work for nothing!"

Lu Jinzhao:? Star-chasing fast version?

Qiansui passed through the wall and landed in front of the dressing table mirror, stretching lazily: "I just went to the next door for a walk, and this Ai Bing's voice is not fine at all. It seems that he just wants to trick you."

"I guessed it." Lu Jinzhao put on his wireless headphones and turned on the audio. "If I don't sing well, he will buy a press release saying that there is something fishy going on in my talent show and that I am unworthy of my position, implying that the organizers should give him the opportunity instead of giving it to me. If I sing well, he will say that I am trying to show off and steal his chance to perform. After all, I have more game fans than he does, so it's not surprising that the spectators think that the official is biased towards me. And he has already announced on Weibo that he will be performing on stage."

"How do you know so much? I haven't said anything yet. Don't you think you are not a fan or pay attention to the entertainment industry?" Qiansui was a little surprised.

"I'm not a fan of celebrities, but I read a lot of entertainment stories in my previous life. Although there are differences between fiction and reality, the basic intrigues and conspiracy are the same logic."

"It's so funny. He only knows that there is no surveillance in the lounge. When the time comes, you won't be able to produce evidence. You can just say that you colluded with the staff. But he will never dream that you have me."

Lu Jinzhao glanced at it, reached out and touched the cat's head: "You seem to have become smarter."

Chitose was furious: "I've always been smart, okay!"

The audience entered the venue one after another, and the seats were gradually filled. The venue was filled with an atmosphere of anticipation and excitement. The promotional video of the opening ceremony was played on the big screen, showing various wonderful performances and special effects scenes.

As the music started, the lights in the venue gradually dimmed, and a dazzling holographic projection appeared out of thin air, surrounding the entire venue. The images of 34 professions appeared one after another, and the audience cheered.

Then, the host walked onto the stage, smiled and waved to the audience. The audience responded with warm applause and cheers. The two hosts slowly walked to the center of the stage, "Dear e-sports fans, hello! Welcome to the GPL Autumn Tournament. It is a great honor to be here with you to witness this exciting moment. I am the commentator, Li Xun."

"I'm the commentator, Wan Ling."

"Today, we have gathered outstanding e-sports players from all over the country. They will showcase their talents here and bring us a wonderful e-sports feast. Here, we will witness the collision of passion, wisdom and team spirit, and feel the charm of e-sports."

"Esports, as an emerging sport, has grown rapidly around the world in recent years. More and more people are beginning to pay attention to and participate in this sport, and esports has become a global phenomenon. On this stage, our players will use their strength and skills to win glory for the country and fight for honor."

“In this competition, we look forward to seeing the players demonstrate top-notch skills, excellent teamwork and a strong desire for victory. We believe that on this stage full of competition and challenges, they will unleash their endless potential and bring us one exciting match after another.”

“Here, I would like to thank the sponsors, partners and all the friends who supported this competition. It is with your support that we can hold such a high-level e-sports professional league. At the same time, I would also like to thank the players for their dedication and hard work. It is you who give us the opportunity to enjoy such a game.”

“Finally, let us wish all the players to perform at their best and bring an unforgettable e-sports feast to the audience! Cheer for the contestants and applaud their hard work and efforts!”

"Now, let us welcome the official start of the 6th GPL Autumn Tournament with warm applause!"

"Next, please invite our professional players to come on stage."

"Welcome the 'Thunder Fury' team: Blaze, Neon, Chennuo, Raiden, Longjian, and Art."

"Welcome FG Team: Storm, Deep Shadow, Echo, Aurora, Keda, and West Wind."

......

Players from dozens of professional e-sports teams took their seats in the front row of the audience. On the stage, lights were flashing and the sound was deafening. The entire venue became more lively and noisy because of the arrival of these e-sports players.

"I can feel everyone's enthusiasm," said commentator Li Xun. "Next, I would like to invite the official spokespersons of the General Seal, Ai Bing, Gu Xiangxiang, Xuan Yue, and Lu Jinzhao."

The four people's photos took up a portion of the screen, and the audience began to cheer. The four people walked onto the stage one by one, standing next to the two hosts, with Lu Jinzhao standing on the outermost side.

"I believe everyone is familiar with our celebrity spokespersons, but please introduce yourselves briefly. Let's go from left to right. Xiangxiang goes first."

"Hello everyone, I'm Gu Xiangxiang, an actress, 19 years old," she said with a playful smile, turning around to show off her cosplay costumes and props: "You can tell from my cosplay that my most common profession is a necromancer."

The necromancer wore a black robe embroidered with white magic runes and reflective paint. At first glance, it seemed that the runes were shining faintly around her, as if telling of her power. The hem of her robe dragged on the ground, swaying gently with her steps. Gu Xiangxiang held a magic wand in her hand, and the head of the wand was inlaid with a gem that was shining with purple light. That was the source of the necromancer's magic power.

"This outfit really suits you, it's very beautiful." Wan Ling praised.

Gu Xiangxiang covered her face shyly and seemed very happy: "Thank you!"

"Okay, next is our Xuan Yue, please introduce yourself."

"Hello everyone, I'm Xuan Yue. I'm currently working as a model and I'm very happy to be the spokesperson for the Admiral Seal. My usual occupation is," Xuan Yue took a step forward, and the tall panda costume suddenly looked a lot more ridiculous: "Panda Warrior."

Seeing the 1.80-meter-tall humanoid panda suit, the audience burst into laughter. Who would have thought that a beautiful model sister who is nearly 1.8 meters tall likes to play the tank profession? The official is also unkind, and actually made a panda suit for this sister.

Li Xun couldn't help laughing: "Thank you for your hard work, Xuanyue, please change your clothes while waiting in the backstage. Panda paws are not easy to operate!"

"Hello, I'm Ai Bing, a singer, and my usual occupation is Demon Hunter."

Seeing the lively atmosphere, the backstage staff were relieved, but the person in charge, Ye Qingshan, ignored the cheers in the venue. She just felt cold all over. Ai Bing's vocal cords were clearly intact, but they tricked her into replacing him on the spot. The purpose was self-evident. Now she became an accomplice caught in the middle, and she was neither a human nor a human.

When she heard Ai Bing say that his voice was broken, her first reaction was to be happy to hear Brother Chao sing live. She didn't expect that she was too excited and was taken advantage of. Now she can only hope that Brother Chao can perform normally. Damn Ai Bing! If Brother Chao regards her as a black fan from now on, she will peel off a layer of skin from him!

"Hello everyone, I'm Lu Jinzhao, and today I'm hosting Miracles. I often use many professions, but my favorite is Assassin."

Li Xun received instructions from the backstage in his headphones and said with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Ai Bing told our staff backstage today that his throat was uncomfortable. We had no choice but to temporarily replace Mr. Lu to sing the new theme song. Please look forward to Mr. Lu Jinzhao's performance next."

Several people stepped aside, the lights around dimmed, and the spotlight shone on Lu Jinzhao. As the music started, he slowly brought the microphone close to his lips. The singer took a deep breath and began to sing. His voice was like the sound of nature, clear and moving.

"Heroic Youth Aspirations Game Mountains and Rivers

Guns pointed to the sky, horses trod the sky

Laugh at the sorrows of life and see through all the prosperity

When we talk about the great events, the years pass by like a dream

"It's hard to tell the difference between grudges and grievances, but the swordsmen share the joys and sorrows"

The singing voice echoed in the air, sometimes high-pitched and passionate, sometimes low and lingering, as if telling the story of the players to the audience. The audience was moved by his singing and swayed to the rhythm.

The fans immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers. They waved their light sticks, their faces filled with unconcealed joy and excitement. Some stood up and screamed, while others raised their light boards and shook them vigorously. Their voices surged like waves, and the whole scene was filled with enthusiasm and vitality.

At the end of the song, Lu Jinchao bowed slightly to the audience, and the applause was thunderous. The two commentators led the other three people back to the center of the stage. Li Xun praised repeatedly: "I have heard that Mr. Lu's singing skills are amazing before. Today I see that he is indeed worthy of his reputation."

Wan Ling continued: "Is Mr. Ai Bing's throat better now?"

Ai Bing forced a smile and said, "I don't know why I couldn't make any sound at that time, but now I feel much better."

Backstage, Ye Qingshan let out a long sigh and happily sent a message to her sisters: "You don't know what happened today. I tell you... this is what happened! Fortunately, our brother Chao is strong! Otherwise, I don't know how he would be scolded now!"

"Is this true? I used to really like listening to Ai Bing's songs, but I'm disappointed."

Ye Qingshan: "I guarantee with my reputation that everything I say is true!"

"Tsk, this person is so unlucky."

"Next, we'll draw lots for the exhibition match," Li Xun brought up a lottery box, "There are two colors of balls in it, red and blue. The teams that draw the same color will be on the same team, and then everyone can draw a professional player as a teammate. The remaining professional player spot can be designated by yourselves to fill in the position."

After the other three people drew their balls, there was one blue ball left, which was automatically assigned to Xuan Yue's team.

Wan Ling handed a button to Lu Jinzhao: "Come on, let's start drawing professional players. The big screen will start scrolling."

After all the players' avatars on the big screen scrolled quickly, Lu Jinzhao seized the opportunity and selected a player in the support position.

Li Xun: "Okay, please welcome FG team, Xifeng."

Wan Ling: "Next is Xiangxiang, please draw the first professional player of your team."

"Please welcome Team SW, Corentin."

"Come on, please invite Xuan Yue to draw the second professional player for your team."

"Please welcome HOF team, Void."

"Next, please invite Ai Bing to draw the second professional player for your team."

"Please welcome the Dark Wings team, Luna."

"Okay, now the red and blue teams each have four players. Please discuss among yourselves and select the final players. The timer is five minutes. Let's begin."

Xifeng was the first to speak: "I usually play support, priest, traveler, enchanter, alchemist, etc."

Xuan Yue: "I like to play warriors, pandaren, trolls and other professions that can be used as meat shields."

Void: "I am good at attacking high-attack and fragile offensive professions, such as assassins, thieves, and demon hunters. I can also play a little bit of other professions."

Xifeng: "The opponent's luck is not very good. Corentin and Luna have similar positions. They are good at offensive professions and are the main attackers in the team. I don't know Ai Bing very well, so based on his cosplay of Demon Hunter, this means that they are likely to have three strong output. I checked Gu Xiangxiang's record online just before going on stage. If nothing unexpected happens, she will choose the Necromancer. Let's choose an Astrologer who can suppress her summoning skills. With four squishy skins, they will most likely choose an all-round support who can heal and resist."

Void Speechless: "But you are the most versatile support in our alliance, so don't brag about yourself now. They can only settle for the second best and choose SW's Flash. The problem is that what he hates most is one person leading four people. It seems that they will suffer."

Xuan Yue was a little confused: "If you don't understand, just ask. If you don't like leading four people, why do you want to play support?"

Void blinked his eyes and said, "Well, it should be because their team needs it. Anyway, if Flash can play the assault position, he will definitely be the type of person that the nurse has the most headaches for. He will be the type that wants to break his legs while pushing a wheelchair and nurse at the same time."

Lu Jinzhao: "Okay, let's find someone with longer arms, preferably a priest, archer, elementalist, etc. Do you think FG's Deep Shadow is better, or HOF's Monk is better?"

Upon hearing this, Xukong and Xifeng looked up at him at the same time, as if they did not expect that he knew them so well and even knew the distribution of professions in their team.

Void tied her long hair into a ponytail and said calmly, "Let's go to Deep Shadow. He has good hearing and can judge the distance and the landing point of skills based on the sound effects of skills. This is much better than the blind monk in my team."

Xifeng: "Okay, then Deep Shadow."

"The countdown is about to end. Have you guys agreed?"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Stop. Okay, please tell me your final choice."

Blue Team: We choose FG's Deep Shadow.

Red Team: SW's Flash.

"The selection process is over. Please come on stage."

"Please take your seats in the competition area and do some preliminary adjustments. The exhibition match will officially begin in twenty minutes."
