 Chapter 163

Before the start of the competition, everyone had different candidates in mind for the title, and the situation was still in a three-way tie. But a majority of people’s scales had now tilted towards An Yan and Cheng Yi.

These two have been so strong in the competition that it has been hard to ignore or belittle them.

There was An Yan’s SS-grade spiritual potions, his terrifyingly high success rate in making potions, and his ridiculously fast potion making speed. In addition, there was Cheng Yi’s superb mecha control, incredibly quick reflexes, and efficient management skills. If such a powerful duo couldn’t win the championship, then they really couldn’t think of anyone else who would be qualified to win.

It’s not that there weren’t other outstanding contestants in this year’s competition, but these two were shining so brightly that the others were less visible and even dwarfed by them.

However, this was mostly the case for the passers-by. That is to say, they weren’t fans of any of the contestants before the competition started and only became fans of Cheng Yi and An Yan after seeing their performance.

Cheng Yi and An Yan’s fans had a great time in the competition. Not only did they enjoy the high quality mecha battles and witnessed the birth of SS-grade potions, they also enjoyed the sweet daily life of these two bosses and watched them show their affection.

They were obviously in the midst of an intense battle, but the viewers still felt the sweetness of everyday life from the two of them.

In addition to this growing fan base, there were other contestants with considerable fan bases, and these were undoubtedly Lu Chen and the Lin siblings.

The fans of these contestants were both strong in terms of numbers and fighting power; otherwise they wouldn’t have formed a big melee with Cheng Yi and An Yan’s fans before the first round of the competition.

But that was before the competition. When the competition officially started, the power of the three fan bases started to change imperceptibly.

Originally, it was nothing for fans to fight a bit if the contestants were too strong. But this changed when Cheng Yi and An Yan were shining during the competition, while the other two groups looked poor compared to them.

Even though fans were still touting all sorts of things, thinking that their favourite contestant would definitely win the title, the passers-by were not buying it.

Lu Chen fans: My Lu Chen will definitely beat the other competitors and win the championship, blowing up Lu Chen!

Passerby viewer 1: Is Lu Chen really as good as you guys say he is? But I see that he has done very poorly in the previous matches. He didn’t get many points.

Passer by viewer 2: If you look at his individual strength alone, Lu Chen is really good, but his sense of teamwork is too weak. He didn’t even listen to others and didn’t care about his teammates. He just went off on his own, which is really bad.

Passerby viewer 3: In fact, his character can be seen from the fact that he refused to team up with others when he participated in the previous Academy competitions.

Passerby viewer 4: I think Lu Chen’s fans should stop blowing. Everyone is watching the competition, so we all know who is stronger. It won’t change the fact even if you blow them up. 

Lin family fans: Brother and Sister Lin are the best! The championship belongs to you! 

Passerby viewer 5: I watched the performance of these two in the fifth round. What should I say? In fact, Lin Dong’s management skills are not bad, but the problem is that he puts too much weight on his partner’s opinion. He doesn’t even care if it’s right or wrong, he just does what the other person says. That’s too unassertive.

Passerby viewer 6: Lin Wan’s level of potion making is really good, but whether it’s the success rate or the speed of making the potion, including the final potion result, it’s far less than that of some other contestant. So it’s still not too difficult to see who would win the championship between those two.

Passerby viewer 7: If fans really want these two to get the championship, they can give their opinions quickly, but they should let everyone do their job. Let the contestants do what they are good at. It would not end well if one side continues being willful and the other indulges it.

……

The two fan bases were naturally upset when they saw the attitude of these passerbys. They rushed up and scolded furiously, only to return in defeat.

In the first three-way fight, everyone would attack one another in a chaotic mode. Everyone tried to praise their side and hurt the other, and they were naturally even matched.

But the two fan bases were now facing the passersby. These viewers were objectively analyzing the facts, and there was almost no subjective bias. 

Passerby viewer 1: So now I’m getting sprayed by fans for giving objective advice to contestants? Well, forget I said anything. You guys can go on with your dreams of winning.

Passerby viewer 2: Do the fans of these two teams have bad eyes? Or are they just too grumpy? People giving their fair views and describing things that have actually happened in the competition. What is the use of this mad dislike?

Passerby viewer 3: If fans don’t want to hear any advice or opinions, could they please go into hibernation? If you’re posting on a virtual net, you should be prepared for a rebuttal.

Passerby viewer 4: I had a good feeling about these two contestants, so I came out to give them my opinion, but I was instead scolded by the fans. Let me continue to be a passerby.

Passerby viewer 5: I don’t dare give advice to these two contestants anymore; their fans are too scary! 

...……

The fans of these two teams were both angry and aggrieved at the attitude of these passers-by. They were angry because their boss is obviously the best. Why do these people accuse their boss like this?

They were aggrieved because, in addition to blowing up their favorite contestant, the fans of Cheng Yi and An Yan were not idle either. They even had more posts up, but why don’t they see anyone talking about it?

The fans of Cheng Yi and An Yan were much more enthusiastic than the two fan bases, and the posts are full of the following comments.

Fan 1: Blowing up the two bosses! You guys are the best! The best! The best!

Fan 2: I’m waiting for the two of them to walk onto the podium together. I want to know how they’re going to show their love on the podium at that time!!

Fan 3: I have nothing more to say. I’ve already bought my tickets for the award ceremony. I hope I can get an autographed photo of the winner!

Fan 4: I wish the two bosses a smooth victory!

……...

In reality, these fans had a similar painting style to the other fan bases. The only difference was that there would be passers by coming forward to give their opinions and advice when the other fan bases were blowing up their contestants. But when it came to An Yan and Cheng Yi’s side, the passers by would voice their approval and no one came forward to give advice at all.

It was no surprise that the fans of the other two teams felt aggrieved given this obvious contrast.

The problem is that the passers-by didn’t do it on purpose. They were only advising the other two because they had suggestions to make. They just couldn’t find anything to point out when it came to An Yan and Cheng Yi, even if they racked their brains.

In terms of their performance, they were almost perfect, not making a single mistake and playing very well.

In terms of competition results, the two had never dropped out of the top three, and even had a huge gap between them and the other teams through their excellent play and leadership in the previous round, which was simply shocking.

Under such circumstances, they couldn’t stand up and say they didn’t perform well enough. Could they?

Or could they put it another way and condemn them for their frequent displays of affection on the field during the competition? But everyone knew that this was not a problem at all. As long as it doesn’t affect the competition, the other participants, or violate the rules, everyone is free to do whatever they want on the field.

They would deserve to be sprayed to death by their fans if they put the blame on this.

In the eyes of the passers-by, Cheng Yi and An Yan had the highest chance of winning the championship, and their approval came from the bottom of their hearts.

So, in the end, the only one to blame for this obvious difference in treatment was the gradual and obvious gap between the strengths shown by the three parties in the competition.

And this differential treatment not only affected the fans but also the people involved.

"Brother, how can these people go so far! How can they talk about us like that!" Lin Wan’s shapely eyebrows rose after seeing the accusations made by those passersby.

Lin Dong, who was taking care of the mecha, sniffed and glanced towards his sister’s side, softly saying, "The virtual net is ever chaotic and there are all kinds of people on it. Just ignore the views expressed by these people. There is no need to take it to heart. "

However, Lin Wan was still furious, "But they are really too much!"

How dare they say that her big brother shouldn’t listen to her and that she has no leadership ability? Who are they to say that!

Seeing that his sister was really angry, Lin Dong could only put down the tools he was holding and came over to comfort her in a gentle voice.

Just as the two siblings were comforting each other in harmony and friendliness over here, Lu Chen also saw what was on the virtual net.
