Chapter 5 - Wild Little Fan

Two days later, while Tyron was reading a book, he received an official email from the league.

The email said that Spotlight Media wanted his permission to use the recordings from his previous fight, edit them, and include them in their program that would be broadcasted next week. The licensing fee was 800 dollars for every second that Tyron appeared in the final version of the program.


This price was considered to be very high, mainly because Tyron was evaluated by GNA as a ‘B-list player’ as soon as he appeared. The endorsement and appearance price for B-list players had a lower limit. If the price was too low, the League would come out and protest.

So, even though Tyron had not revealed his real name, Spotlight Media still took the initiative to offer him a B-list price.

Therefore, one week later, Tyron received nearly 40,000 dollars in ‘appearance fees’.

.

Spotlight Media had its own live broadcasting platform, video websites and portals.

After they obtained Tyron’s authorization, they included his video in two separate programs. One was the monthly ‘X-month highlights’ that was broadcasted monthly; it summarized the most exciting scenes in the e-sports world that month and was geared towards entertainment. The other was the ‘XX strategy and commentary’ that was done in collaboration with GNA; it would focus on a certain profession in each release and analyse their classic PK techniques. They would also select several representative players or competitions to illustrate and explain their examples. This was a professional comparison between strong players.

The latter was not very easy to do, and usually required enough material in order to be completed.

But the former program happened to be broadcasting soon, and the video of Tyron PKing that pitiful ‘machine gun mage’ was added at the very end of the broadcast.

When the countdown ended and the huge ‘1’ disappeared, the lens showed a close up of Tyron’s dark golden pupils and slowly pulled away...


The match had been almost completely edited. The mage began his ‘machine gun attacks’, Tyron rushed forward and got close, the mage used Flicker, and Tyron simultaneously used Shadow Leap, bursting out with a terrifying attack speed. The mage used Alpha Substitute to escape and counterattacked, but Tyron quickly followed up and harvested his life... The entire process was full of twists and turns. It was extremely exciting, and the brilliant sections basically didn’t require any edits.

The viewership for this program had always been very high. After all, many people did not like to watch live broadcasts and preferred to watch some of the particularly amazing highlights for entertainment.

As a result, the screen was covered in a barrage of scrolling comments: “Don’t drink water while watching, instantaneous explosions up ahead!” “Nuclear explosions ahead! Non-combatants should quickly evacuate!” “Mother, I’m kneeling!”

Long discussions ensued in the comments section, and they began to speculate about the true identity of ‘Player #419’. Most people thought that #419 was a long-established high level player in the scene, and began to guess from the list of famous assassins.

The name ‘Lord Four’ was becoming more and more famous on the internet, and mister Tyron the antique had no idea that currently, his nickname had been finalized just like this.

.

Three days later, Tyron took part in the 16-to-8 competition.

His opponent this round was a summoner. He was the type of summoner that required time to set up before his full power could be unleashed; he started with one summon and began to prepare for more– as long as he could hold on for 10 seconds, he would be able to pull out five summons and begin a true battle. If he was given 30 seconds, even if he only had a sliver of blood, he would still be able to pull out ten summons to encircle the enemy and grind them to dust...
