Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Tonight, do your hearts flutter under the dazzling sun, tonight, under the alluring moonlight? It’s not about elegance but your heart’s sentiment. Hello, I’m your good friend, Sister Infatuation. Welcome to an episode of Tonight’s Whisper. Do you have anything to share with me? Please call 7417499999, 7417499999...”
“Director! Director! Wrong channel, cut!”
Clap...
“Good evening, everyone. Welcome to an episode of a new entertainment show, King of Pantheon, Celebrity Talkshow. I’m Xu Man and I’ll be your guest host today.”
“Hello everyone, I’m Dark Wing!”
The screen lit up. Major celebrity Xu Man and Li Yi were sitting side by side, smiling at the screen.
Global entertainment television network, the first episode of King of Pantheon Celebrity Talkshow was broadcasted live.
After months of planning, King of Pantheon Celebrity Talk officially broadcasted. Li Yi, as the first invited guest, was feeling rather calm...
The big screen behind him was playing videos of his first kills, PKs, arena battles...
“King of Pantheon is a fascinating world that even I have to admit to its charms. In a short span of two years, it took the world by storm. Everyone is able to find their passion in the game. I have a friend who loves fishing and ever since she’s on King of Pantheon, she wouldn’t even set foot out her house. Just by logging to King of Pantheon, she can fish whatever fish she wants. There’s also cooking, gardening, rearing birds...”
Celebrity Xu Man as a special guest host was quick to stray out of topic.
The director on set immediately cued Xu Man and raised a cue card with the word interaction on it to shut her mouth.
Xu Man stuck out her tongue and began interacting with Li Yi, “Hello, Dark Wing.”
“Hello, Xu Man.”
Both of them exchanged glances and smiled, dumbfounding the director on the set. Before they were live, they had practiced their lines more than a hundred times but everything has changed when the camera light turned on?
The original Celebrity Talkshow host was not Xu Man but this celebrity forced her way into this episode’s talk host with her influence.
“Hello, Dark Wing, I represent a vast number of players to ask you this question. When did you start playing Pantheon?”
“I joined when it first opened.”
“I heard that the first kill of King of Pantheon’s first boss was your doing. Is this true?”
“You mean Wild Boar King?”
“Yes.”
“That was an accident...”
A run-of-the-mill talk was going on while Li Yi and Xu Man were broadcasted to every corner of the world through the global entertainment network.
Jiaojiao and Fire Ice were sitting on a couch, each holding a bag of popcorn and munching as they criticized Li Yi in the television.
“I really can’t tell that Lil Yi’zi’s the type of person to blow his horn,” Jiaojiao was eating and snorting.
“He’s not blowing, he’s telling the truth.”
“He’s blowing. Can’t you see that as he’s talking, his eyes are narrowed into a line, snickering. What a bad boy.”
“His face is censored, how can you tell he’s snickering?”
“Intuition. I even know how many hairs are on his body...” Jiaojiao swallowed her words after realizing how indecent it sounded.
Fire Ice covered her mouth to hide her smile but her eyes were glued to Li Yi on the television, lost in his magic...
...
“Mr. Dark Wing, which class in King of Pantheon, do you think is the strongest? Why did you choose to play an Archer? Why not a Warrior? Or a Wizard?”
“I think every class is great. A Warrior’s impactful, a Paladin’s dependable, a Summoner’s blissful, a Vagabond’s all-rounded, a Wizard deals high damage, a Priest can heal and rescue, a Thief’s proficient in assassination and the reason I chose to play an Archer is...
Li Yi paused before adding, “I actually played a Thief before.”
“Why did you switch to an Archer?”
Li Yi sighed, “Because... a lot of people said that I’m an incomplete man.”
“Pft—”
Jiaojiao and Fire Ice spat out the popcorn in their mouth.
Xu Man was momentarily stunned but quick to follow with a smile, “Then the reason you choose to play an Archer?”
“I don’t want to be an incomplete man, I want to be a man who can ejaculate!”
Thump!
The broadcasting direction of this episode fell to his knees out the set. Kneeled! Kneeled!
He thought that Li Yi would be talking about some classic theories. Who would have thought the reason he chose to play an Archer was the ability to ejaculate...
The broadcasting director, still on his knees, raised a signboard high. On it were two words in large letters, “CHANGE TOPIC.”
“Guild Master Dark Wing, as a top player, I wish to ask you a private question. Do you have a girlfriend?”
Li Yi scratched his head and thought for long. He seemed to be put on the spot.
Outside this all, Jiaojiao and Fire Ice were watching with full attention, crushing the popcorn in their hands.
“What? Is it not convenient to answer? Or is it because you don’t have one?” A sign of mischievousness streaked past Xu Man’s eyes.
Li Yi smiled, “It’s no secret. It’s Queen Jiaojiao.”
Xu Man blinked, “Oh, but I heard that apart from Jiaojiao, you have another girlfriend?”
Li Yi shook his head to deny, “Absolutely not. I only have one. One is more than enough for me to handle. How can I take more?”
“F*ck!” Jiaojiao and Fire Ice threw their popcorn onto the ground. The only difference was, Jiaojiao smashed it really hard while Fire Ice gently placed it on the ground.
Xu Man blinked again, not giving up without a fight, “Rumor has it that Guild Master Dark Wing has countless girlfriends. So you’re saying, they’re all baseless?”
“Yes, I really don’t have more than one,” Li Yi would never admit to it.
Li Yi threw back a question, “Miss Xu Man, if you have a boyfriend, would you announce it to the world?”
Xu Man was stunned. She was a major celebrity with a huge fan base. She would never reveal if she has a boyfriend.
Xu Man bit her lip and looked at Li Yi with sharp eyes, “If I have one, I would!”
“Then tell me, who is your boyfriend?”
Xu Man pointed at Li Yi, “You!”
“Pft—” Jiaojiao and Fire Ice spat out the popcorn in their mouth again.
Thump!
The broadcasting director fell on his knees again, kneeling! Kneeling!
Xu Man chuckled and moved the conversation back on track, “Of course, that’s impossible.”
The broadcasting director wiped off his sweat. Li Yi, on the other hand, did not know how to continue the conversation.
“Talk about the game, talk about the game...” The broadcasting director whispered shouted.
“Mr. Dark Wing, what are you most dissatisfied about King of Pantheon?”
“I’m not too happy about the communication system. Let’s say if two friends are too far apart, they can’t communicate through voice and are only limited to sending mail. I think this setting’s a little silly. Also, it’s just too hard for an Archer to catch a pet, too time-consuming. And another thing, if an Archer could deal higher damage, better defense, higher HP, stronger skills, alter the pet system, disband the one pet in the battle limit, and allow ten pets to join in battle, then I’ll be happy.”
Xu Man and the broadcasting director were wiping their sweat. If these changes were made, no other classes were needed. Everyone would opt to play an Archer...
“Mr. Dark Wing, what are you most happy about in King of Pantheon?”
“Realistic stimulation, AI, somatosensory, battle sensory are the few things I’m most happy with.”
A cheerful tune was heard. Li Yi’s answers were finally not as shocking as before.
“In this sort of game, battle between players is fairly important. As the No. 1 Archer God of the continent, I’m sure you made many enemies. Who do you think, an enemy or a friend, left the deepest impression on you?”
“I better not mention an enemy here. As for a friend, there’s one that really left an impression.”
“Oh? And what’s the name of that friend?”
“It’s me, it’s me, it’s me!”
“It’s me, it must be me...”
Jiaojiao and Fire Ice were at it again...
“The leader of Platinum Hand.”
Li Yi’s word left Xu Man blushing.
Xu Man asked, “Why are you... you impressed by her?”
“Platinum Hand was an amazing organization but as you all know, they joined my Little Drunk Cat guild. Why I’m impressed by the leader is because she sent a lot of masters over. Without her, my Little Drunk Cat would have not developed this fast.”
Xu Man’s face sank. At the end of the day, this guy was just making fun of her, WTH!
Off set, the broadcasting director raised the cue card again, signaling the end of the interview and it was time to wind up the segment.
“Time really flies. In a turn of a hand, this talk show is about to end. Guild Master Dark Wing, a lot of people don’t understand why you named your guild Little Drunk Cat. Any reason that you could make known?”
“My girlfriend, when she’s drunk she’s as cute as a cat. Hence, the name.”
“Oh, so you’re saying, you like to drink?”
“Yes, I especially like to have a glass or two with a pair of siblings at the bar booth. Uh huh, that pair of siblings were cute.”
Under the table, Xu Man was clenching her little fist tightly. She would never forget the time she was teased by Li Yi in the bar booth.
It was then the ending tune sounded. Although Xu Man wanted to verbally bite back, she did not have the opportunity. She followed the earlier memorized script to end the talk.
“We’ll happy to have Guild Master Dark Wing with us today and hope to have another chance to chat about Pantheon again.”
The screen was flooded with falling flowers as the scene dimmed. The curtain came down on the first episode of King of Pantheon celebrity interview.
In this info era, fame meant cash, regardless if one has talent. As long as one was famous, it meant having worldly wealth. Becoming the first invited guest of Celebrity Talkshow, Li Yi’s fame has officially set foot from King of Pantheon to the real world!
Li Yi did not rush to go home after the interview. Instead, he accepted the invitation of his good friend, Xu Man and sat in a car driven by Xu Yue to have a meal together...
The venue was Celebrity Xu Man’s mansion!
