Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 266 - 227 This is terrible...

Xia Ye raised her hand, signaling an OK gesture behind her.

For most people, she might not have agreed to such a request.

But who could ignore the fact that Tian Ye was Tian Hanwen’s grandson?

A friend’s grandson still deserved some special treatment.

When the figure of ’Night God’ disappeared at the stairwell, Tian Ye, who still felt as if in a dream, remained standing in the same spot.

It took him a long time before his gaze finally settled on the autograph book in his hands. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Looking at the two bold characters, Tian Ye slowly exhaled.

So exciting!

July 13.

The broadcasting hall was dazzling with lights, with over a hundred crew members bustling about, and the host nervously checked the script through her headset.

Even as a veteran host who had presided over countless major eSports competitions, she couldn’t help but feel a flutter of panic at the scale of today’s event.

The assistant leaned in and whispered something in her ear, making the host even more nervous, "Really? There are over nine million people already in the live broadcast room, and the show doesn’t even officially start for another half hour?"

She pinched the space between her eyebrows.

The programs recorded in the broadcasting hall were presented to the audience through live streaming and replays, with no audience on-site, but this didn’t make it any less stressful.

Because, even if there were an audience present, it would amount to just over a thousand people, while in the live stream, there were a whopping nine million people!

The big stage in the broadcasting hall was split into two, with a platform on the left prepared for FB’s veteran players, and the platform on the right for the forty Youth Training Camp players.

With the new and old players shining together, it truly felt like a legacy was being passed on.

In the middle was a large stage for the guest performers, and next to it were the commentator’s seats.

The two giant screens above were projecting close-ups of the players on both sides.

Everyone was sitting in their own places, each having been tended by a professional makeup team, looking much more handsome than when at their clubs.

As for Xia Xing, there was no need to say – he was simply a sight too captivating to ignore.

Xia Ye still kept herself well-covered.

Gu Mingzhi had a big job today, responsible for doing makeup for the ten players who would participate in the exhibition match later.

It was Xia Xing who had referred her for the job.

Her hands were quick and her makeup was applied rapidly, and she did it so subtly and naturally that it was hard to tell what was different, but one just knew they looked more refined than before.

This was the effect that the eSports players liked most.

Xia Xing thought he was not acting out of self-interest.

There she stood, below the stage, her face full of excitement as she looked towards Xia Xing who was being captured by the special shot camera.

That face, carved with precision, was simply the most perfect work of art!

Mom, this is the man your daughter must marry in this lifetime!

In her whole life, she had never seen a face more exquisite than Xia Xing’s—

She stopped mid-thought.

No, wrong; if there was a face more exquisite than her "husband," it would be...

Her gaze shifted towards the ’Night God’ sitting beside Xia Xing.

Just now, when doing the makeup, she had the privilege to see the true face of ’Night God,’ thanks to the convenience of being a makeup artist, before everyone else.

At this thought, her bright sparkling eyes sent out two starry beams through her round, thin glasses, directed at the stage.

The wattage was by no means less than when she looked at Xia Xing!

Xia Ye was a girl, and her makeup naturally differed from that of the boys; moreover, to Gu Mingzhi, Xia Ye wasn’t just an ordinary girl – in her heart, Xia Ye was her future sister-in-law!

Mingzhi employed the ultimate skills of her craft to create a stunning makeup look for Xia Ye.

Even she was startled by the makeup she had applied—Xia Ye’s face perfectly embodied the phrase "never too much decoration for a beautiful face."

She began to secretly look forward to the moment Xia Ye’s identity would be revealed!!

Pang Shen sat below the stage, tapping into the main website’s live streaming platform on his phone.

When he clicked in, the page froze for a few seconds. He glanced at the signal; the network was clearly fine.

Seconds later, as he entered the live streaming room and noticed the number of online viewers in the top right corner, Pang Shen was taken aback.

No wonder it had buffered just now.

Although the screen displayed "The live stream has not officially started yet," it did nothing to deter the fans’ enthusiasm.

The barrage of comments, white as flowers, scrolled densely from right to left.

[Another day of cheating on my husband for Xia Shen!]

[I love both Xia Shen and Night Shen! What should I do? I don’t want to be a cheater!]

[I have a feeling that Night Shen might be even more handsome than Xia Shen!]

Within the screen full of "Night Shen" and "Xia Shen," there were occasionally a few supportive slogans calling out for other team members.

Pang Shen silently stepped out to the smoking area outside the hall, biting on a cigarette.

This little sister Xia Xing is going to be something else...

With the lighting and props all ready to go, the host stood in the center of the stage against the backdrop of Honor of Kings, its music classical yet sprightly, with a hidden sharpness, rising in the air.

Finally, there was a picture in the live streaming room; the number of comments instantly doubled.

It was so exaggerated that without hiding comments, one couldn’t even make out who the host was behind the mosaic of messages.

After an exciting opening monologue, the close-up shots on the big screen slid across the players from both sides in turn.

The camera operator was particularly skilled—starting with Xia Xing on the side of the seasoned players, which gathered a wave of high-decibel screams, before switching to other members, and at last, the camera slowly settled on today’s hot topic, "Night Shen."

They were going for maximum show effect.

The experienced team members looked very relaxed, some even making funny faces at the camera; but on the other side, the Youth Training Camp’s players, apart from Tian Ye, wore much tenser expressions on their youthful, handsome faces.

Being on television for the first time and not accustomed to it, coupled with each player tagged like they were on a boy group selection show, it immediately set the atmosphere for elimination.

Thankfully, the performance match of the veteran players was up first, followed by the grand reveal of Night Shen’s identity.

By the time their recruitment assessment officially began, there would still be an hour’s time.

The reason why FB’s live broadcast had so many viewers was not only because they had popular streamers on board, but also because FB’s live streams are known for their no-dragging policy, full of non-stop action.

The host called on one or two people from each team for a brief interview, and in less than five minutes, it was announced that the warm-up exhibition match was about to begin, with the red and blue sides starting their hero select.

[Night Shen’s first live performance! So excited, so excited!]

[But he’s just joined FB, I wonder if they’ll have synergy?]

[Night Shen is an all-rounder hero, which role do you think he’ll pick this time?]

This was a pivotal match before "Night Shen" would reveal his identity. Although it was just an exhibition, all the players were battle-hardened deities from FB, and the fans had great expectations. Xia Xing worried that Little Tiangao might be nervous, so she turned her head to reassure her, then from the corner of her eye, she saw Little Tiangao’s peach blossom eyes hidden beneath sunglasses were actually closed!!

Far from being nervous, Xia Ye was taking the opportunity to rest with her eyes closed, as the audience couldn’t see clearly through her sunglasses!

Xia Xing: ......

After the first four teammates had made their selection, Xia Xing gently patted her little sister, who was not a morning person and known for staying up late.

Only then did Xia Ye open her eyes and leisurely glance at the big screen.

Of course, because of the sunglasses, the fans couldn’t tell she had just had her eyes closed—they thought she was pondering deeply, overseeing the whole situation.

Xia Ye scanned the heroes chosen by the four players in front of her—warrior, marksman, assassin, and tank roles were all taken. Only a mage was missing.

She had intended to pick any hero casually, but on second thought, since she would reveal her identity after this match to everyone,

She should choose a hero that suited her the best.

With that in mind, as all eyes watched in eager anticipation, she gracefully raised her hand and selected Daji—
