Chapter 1579: Esports Tournament Part 6

A few seconds later, Zhang Jingyi no longer pretended to be polite and opened Xu Feng’s pack.

Her eyes nearly popped out of her socket when she saw him getting a Super Rare Eclipse Nova card.

"Damn, what is your luck?" She gasped in disbelief. "Even though it’s just a Super Rare, the appearance of Eclipse Nova is so scarce that the price is insane."

Although Eclipse Nova was rarely captured on the screen, their fanbase was no less than the Demoness. After all, every time he appeared and was captured on the stream, a major event was occurring.

The most unforgettable moment was how Eclipse Nova inspired many healers to become DPS, causing many teams and guilds to be filled with headaches.

DPS healers were never something new. There were always a few healers who thought they were awesome and went into DPS mode.

But none of the players had ever seen such a huge surge in healers’ desire to be DPS.

It wasn’t that DPS healers were bad, but there was truly no need for them when they needed healing to sustain.

"You can have it." Xu Feng was uninterested in an Eclipse Nova card. That was literally him in another alias.

He wasn’t that narcissistic to be collecting cards of himself.

"Are you sure?" Zhang Jingyi raised an eyebrow. She was a fan of Eclipse Nova and had collected a few of his cards already.

After all, the appearance of Eclipse Nova signified the uprising of new guilds.

The Super Guilds that dominated the virtual world were slowly losing their control and influence across the Divine World.

Eclipse Nova made it publicly known to everyone that the Divine World was a new era and a new possibility.

"Yeah, I’m sure." Xu Feng nodded and pressed the tablet button to order his food.

He didn’t even need to wait for her because she was a regular and knew exactly what was on the menu. Moreover, her eyes were focused entirely on the Eclipse Nova card.

She even had sleeves prepared to protect them.

"Oh, right, here’s one for you." She suddenly remembered that he didn’t have any sleeve protection for his god card.

"Haha..."

Xu Feng was certain that she had no plan on giving him one if he didn’t give her the Eclipse Nova card.

Still, he feigned ignorance and accepted her kindness.

Once he placed the card into the protected sleeve, the waiter arrived at their table.

"What can I get for you two?" The waiter promptly asked.

As they finished ordering, Zhang Jingyi happily put away her card and smiled.

"Anyway, how have you been doing lately?" She suddenly asked. "I’ve watched the short drama you acted in, and it was good. But then I think the kiss scene was a bit too much. There wasn’t a need for a kiss unless you insisted on it."

"..."

As expected, almost everyone who knew or heard of him always mentioned the short drama kiss scene.

He became the public enemy for most men because he got to kiss many beautiful women.

Even though he never insisted on any and even suggested removing some of them, nobody would believe him.

’Sigh, my name will never be cleared.’ Due to the fact that the three actresses adamantly refused kiss scenes after the popular short drama, there were many rumors that someone abused power to kiss them.

Thankfully, the three actresses always came out and vouched for his innocence whenever someone asked. Otherwise, he would really be blasted publicly.

"Is that the reason why you wanted to meet me?" He smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.

"Of course, not!" Zhang Jingyi rolled her eyes. "Tyrant Fist Guild... the one that my brother ran. Do you remember it?"

"Of course," he nodded. The last time they met was at a club, and back then, she also introduced her brother to him.

Okay, that sounded wrong when it was worded like that.

What Xu Feng meant was that when he went to the club with Zhao Kai for a business deal, the two of them happened to be there.

She heaved a sigh of relief when Xu Feng had a recollection of it.

"Currently, many Super Guilds and top guilds are acquiring guilds en masse to expand themselves because of the Legacy Era. My brother’s desire for freedom and independence is very strong." She bit her lips and said.

Although it was quite subtle, Xu Feng could basically get the gist from those words alone.

Moreover, he had heard of Zhang Tie Quan’s story before.

The memory wasn’t very vivid, but it was something along the lines of how he had fallen ill. This was news he received in the past timeline, and because there was no interaction between them, he never bothered much with it.

’I reckoned the pressure must have been high.’ Granted how doting her brother was, there was no way he would involve Zhang Jingyi in the drama.

"You want our Vanguard to help out your brother’s guild?"

"Not help, but alliance."

Zhang Jingyi’s expression turned solemn. "I’ve tested the facility in the city and know how valuable that is. Our Zhang’s Group might not be big compared to those Super Guilds, but we are a local bigshot in Avalon City. We can help expand the Vanguard Group."

Xu Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table. He appeared to be pondering, but secretly, he was quite satisfied.

The Zhang’s Group aspect was technology, and it was precisely the thing that Xu Feng sought. The bridge with Razor Technology was thoroughly burned.

If he wanted to get some technological resources, it would have to be through some other channels.

And truth be told, the sanction imposed by Razor Technology was indeed troublesome.

But with Zhang’s Group, Xu Feng could ignore the sanction. No matter how influential Razor Technology might be, their claws couldn’t stretch far.

Maybe in the Divine World, but definitely not at Avalon City.

What was the saying?

Even if the emperor ruled the lands, the rural areas were too far out of reach.

’Things are finally moving.’ Xu Feng thought to himself.
