Chapter 308

The first thing was to release an announcement in the game, while simultaneously starting to promote the 1o1 World Championship on forums, message boards, and Weibo.

1o1 was going to hold a global World Championship with a winning prize of 1 million USD.

Once this news came out, it immediately caused a global sensation.

1 million USD!

At that time, this was absolutely a huge, enormous sum of money.

No one expected that playing a game could actually earn so much money!

If anyone won this prize money, they could directly leap into the ranks of the wealthy.

Although they couldn't become some big tycoon, they would always be able to live a life without worries about food and clothing!

If there were still people who didn't believe that movies could make money before, now the 1o1 official promise of a 1 million USD reward directly overturned everyone's cognition.

"The one million USD belongs to me!"

"I'm going to sign up!"

"Even if I can't get first place, I have to go and join in the fun."

"I heard that teams that make it into the top eight all have rewards."

"Looking for teammates online!"

Esports culture abroad was much more mature compared to domestic.

Seeing the high prize money for 1o1, they signed up for the tournament at the first opportunity.

Among them were many famous esports teams, such as SK, SKT, Evil, and domestic teams like WE, IG, and EHOME.

Besides famous esports teams, there were countless individual teams participating in their own names.

On the first day of global registration, there were nearly 1, 00 teams.

The second day even broke through 3, 00 teams.

When 1o1 started to become popular globally, many free teams also emerged domestically.

Many people who had never been in contact with 1o1 began to join 1o1 because of this grand event, becoming new players of the game.

Because there were many registered players from various countries, provocative remarks from European and American countries soon appeared on the internet.

On international forums, post after post discriminating against Chinese players emerged one after another.

《Yellow-skinned monkeys have the intelligence and physical strength of apes; victory belongs to the US team》

《Suggest canceling the competition eligibility for Asians》

《Yellow-skinned people who can only show off in War》

《This is a new journey, you won't have such good luck again》

This ignited the anger of Chinese players.

Originally, they didn't understand how playing esports could win glory for the country, but now they understood.

Esports was also a contest of brainpower and physical strength.

If foreigners really took away the grand prize in the tournament, then Chinese people would be ridiculed by foreigners for their brainpower.

Previously in 2005 and 2006, the WE team had managed to win two championships with great difficulty; if Chinese people suffered a defeat in this global 1o1 battle, they would definitely be mocked internationally.

They couldn't even win the championship in a game they made themselves.

Many esports geniuses began to take the initiative to contact the Mo Team, hoping to join the team and fight for the country.

……

Chen Mo left all matters to Little Ma to handle, while he himself filmed with peace of mind on the set.

He knew that after this global tournament ended, the market valuation of 1o1 would increase by several times.

At the same time, the assets of the Communications Group would also rise.

All of this required a process of harvesting; Chen Mo was not in a hurry.

"Brother Mo, *My Love from the Star* is about to wrap up filming. Should we prepare to pack our things?"

Xu Xiaofeng was a bit reluctant to leave.

How great it was on the set of *My Love from the Star*, being able to see Chen Mo playing the handsome Professor Do every day.

Especially when Chen Mo occasionally put on glasses.

That sense of contrast could always make a group of girls scream.

"It's about time, you should prepare."

Chen Mo nodded.

He didn't have any special thoughts about the film crew; he just treated it as filming an ordinary play.

"All units, get ready!"

When Chen Mo had rested enough, the director had already started preparing to film the last few scenes.

The scene here was where Cheon Song-yi learned that Professor Do was about to fly back to his own planet.

"Great, the actors are very into the scene, especially the way her eyes are red, as if she could cry at any moment, and the look in her eyes is also spot on—it's exactly this kind of reluctant look!"

As soon as Jun Ji-hyun came out, the director was very satisfied.

Others were also startled by Jun Ji-hyun's acting.

This was the scene where she was in her best state; the staff watching from the side were almost about to get into the scene along with Jun Ji-hyun.

"What's wrong? Did you develop feelings from filming, and you're reluctant to part with me?"

Chen Mo smiled wickedly, wanting to tease Jun Ji-hyun.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, Jun Ji-hyun burst into tears, which startled Chen Mo.

Fortunately, he was currently facing away from the lens, and the camera could only capture Jun Ji-hyun, not him.

"Don't cry, others will think I bullied you in a moment."

He hurriedly comforted Jun Ji-hyun in a low voice.

Chen Mo was very helpless; he was just making a casual joke, was it worth crying over?

"I don't want to be separated from you."

It was unclear whether Jun Ji-hyun was talking to Chen Mo or reciting her lines.

Her eyes only held Chen Mo's reflection, a pair of eyes very affectionate.

"That's the look! Zoom in quickly!"

"Very good! Cut!"

The director was very happy.

He didn't expect this shot to pass so quickly; he had originally thought Jun Ji-hyun would need to brew her emotions for a while longer.

As a result, after the director shouted cut, everyone realized something was wrong.

Good heavens, the filming was already over, and Jun Ji-hyun was still looking at Chen Mo with that affectionate gaze.

"Brother Mo, could it be that Jun Ji-hyun has taken a fancy to you? I'm familiar with this look; the looks those actresses give you are all like this."

Xu Xiaofeng looked at Jun Ji-hyun and quietly approached Chen Mo's ear.

Female stars falling for Chen Mo while filming with him—this kind of thing was too common, and Xu Xiaofeng had become accustomed to it.

……

In the evening, Chen Mo was just about to sleep when he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

He had originally thought it was Xu Xiaofeng coming to find him for work.

Unexpectedly, when the door pushed open, it was Jun Ji-hyun wearing a nightgown.

"I… can I sleep with you?"

Jun Ji-hyun bit her lip, her hair slightly scattered on her chest, revealing what was faintly visible within.

She was actually a relatively traditional woman, but she also knew that if she didn't seize the opportunity this time, she would have even less chance to see Chen Mo in the future.

So tonight, no matter what, she had to come and find Chen Mo.

After speaking, Jun Ji-hyun realized her words were too direct, and a fair face turned crimson, even the skin on her body turning pink.

Jun Ji-hyun originally belonged to the very beautiful type of beauty, a rare female star who combined both purity and sexiness.

At this moment, looking so pitiful, it indeed made one's heart itch.
