To gain the exclusive sponsorship for this year’s \"Path to Immortality\" battle, they were at each other’s throats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, it was Ba who mediated, coming up with a dual-exclusive sponsorship mechanism, which finally appeased the two fiery sponsors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even with this arrangement, AMD and NVIDIA continued their under-the-table maneuvers for the championship of Path to Immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ba was aware of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Ba, but almost all players who registered for this year’s \"Path to Immortality\" knew that NVIDIA and AMD were practically at each other’s throats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year’s Path to Immortality, every participant had to add an NVIDIA or AMD logo in front of their nickname to indicate their camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This must be one of Ba’s rotten ideas. He’s best at stirring the pot...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the glowing green NVIDIA logo in front of his nickname, Chen Hao felt quite speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ba is really a small-minded man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While most people wish their sponsors could get along, Ba seemed to wish his sponsors would fight, the fiercer the better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this something a person would do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The match begins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the countdown ended, Chen Hao looked at the opponent across from him, also from the NVIDIA camp, not on the list of Immortal Emperors or Quasi-Immortal Emperors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That didn’t matter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they’re not Immortal Emperors or Quasi-Immortal Emperors, in the online phase, he’s invincible; no one could beat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh wait...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some extremely powerful Immortal Kings could also slay Immortal Emperors across realms, so he must watch out to avoid getting caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re both with NVIDIA, I don’t want to hurt you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello big shot, goodbye big shot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent was a sensible young man. Seeing the \"Immortal Emperor\" title under Chen Hao’s nickname, he decisively chose to end the match himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why bother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After easily dealing with his opponent, Chen Hao sighed, \"Is the Path to Immortality something you can join? Where did you get the courage to register?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people really lack self-awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably lured by the rewards of the \"Path to Immortality,\" they ignored Ba’s warning, thinking they could compete for the Path’s glory with a 1060.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kid, are you awake yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are so many Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors, and there are only three direct invitation spots for the offline tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Chen Hao couldn’t guarantee he’d get a spot, so how could these Great Emperor Venerables, still in the realm of humanity, dare sign up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Path to Immortality online qualifiers lasted for a week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, 24 players were invited to Jiangning to participate in the September offline finals of the \"Path to Immortality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interestingly, out of these 24 invited players, only 7 were from the AMD camp, and the rest were all from NVIDIA.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more interesting, after the direct invitation list was released, these players contacted Tianba Studio, asking if they could change their names or if they could choose a specific graphics card for the offline tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Change names?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Dong initially didn’t understand why so many requested name changes. After asking, he found out they had taken benefits to represent the graphics card sponsors in battle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let them change, change away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ba, relishing the spectacle, said, \"Let them change, change to Daren Shuo, Desolate Rainbow, Shrunken Star... I just want to see who ends up being champion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This competition sure is lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graphics card sponsors dispatched one or more Immortal Emperors to battle at Jiangning Stadium, competing for the title of the strongest Immortal Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, there’s an Immortal King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu corrected Ba’s mistake, \"Among the 24, there’s one who’s not an Immortal Emperor from the Path to Immortality but just an Immortal King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, he’s quite strong, sponsored by Daren Shuo, and will use NVIDIA’s 4090 for the tournament, making him a hot favorite for the championship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did an Immortal King get in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ba was a bit surprised. With so many Immortal Emperors competing, even Quasi-Immortal Emperors had a hard time getting a spot. How did an Immortal King snag one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he really be a genius?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind, let it be. Whether an Immortal King or an Immortal Emperor, securing an offline spot makes him the strongest Immortal King in history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the venue set up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not wanting to think about it, Chen Ba asked, \"Are all the players and media from each division here? How’s the ticket sales?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The venue’s ready, players and media are almost all here. Tickets didn’t sell well, so we ended up giving some away...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding not selling all the tickets and having to give some away, Chen Ba was understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it’s the first time hosting such an offline event, and Jiangning isn’t a tier-one city. With such a large venue, it’s normal not to sell all the tickets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even tickets for famous singers’ concerts don’t always sell out, let alone for the \"Path to Immortality\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiangning, City Sports Stadium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Chen Hao’s first time in Jiangning. He had only heard of it but had never actually been here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanging the player’s ID card prepared by Tianba Studio around his neck, Chen Hao stepped into the readiness area of the stadium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, he could hardly believe he had really fought his way through and secured one of the three direct invitation spots for the national service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly incredible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just goes to show his skills were indeed better than the average Immortal Emperor’s, his playtime longer, and his experience richer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The benefit of being a landlord—having enough free time to immerse himself in games for as long as he wants...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other Immortal Emperors don’t have as much time to play games, so with their lack of experience, it’s only natural he snagged a spot.\u003C\u002Fp>",986,"2026-06-06T03:03:37.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","55ce7651d2f838b791648dbafb4dc83649671f286149052cc38ca5dccaadda7b","this-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-chapter-110","this-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-chapter-108",479,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-cover.jpg"]
