All things considered, the sponsorships from other brands saved Lin Yifeng and his team a lot of money.

As for profits, Lin Yifeng and his team could only rely on the Mixue Ice Cream and Wallace restaurants around the stadium these past few days to make up for it.

Guo Fengsheng still didn't quite understand why Lin Yifeng was holding such a grand competition, but he believed that Lin Yifeng's decision was definitely correct.

Lin Yifeng took a deep breath and closed the ledger in front of him.

"Okay, let's go check out the competition venue tomorrow."

Xu Qingyi and Guo Fengsheng exchanged a glance and nodded.

The next morning.

Lin Yifeng arrived at Shangdu Stadium.

As a newly built stadium in Shangdu this year, various sports events in the province will be held here.

Meanwhile, on the football field in the very center of the stadium, many workers were setting up a luxurious stage, and on the large screen in the distance, many staff members were adjusting the broadcast equipment to ensure that there would be no problems with the match that day.

Guo Fengsheng was speechless as he looked at the luxurious stage in front of him.

Leaving aside the venue, the construction of this stage alone cost them nearly 50,000 yuan in their internal accounts, not including the cost of inviting the band, host, and performers.

Another expense is the sports commentary within the province. The two commentators charge nearly two thousand yuan per day for their appearances, and five days of that, including food and lodging, adds up to a considerable amount.

Of course, these two sports commentators were very interested in this matter. When they were found, these two men, who were almost thirty-five years old, plunged into the arcade to start studying the two games.

Lin Yifeng looked at the stage in front of him and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Old Guo, in blue."

"Next time we compete, I'm going to show off my luxury cars on both sides, believe it or not."

Guo Fengsheng and Xu Qingyi were slightly taken aback, not quite understanding Lin Yifeng's meaning.

Lin Yifeng did not explain to the two of them this product that was ahead of its time.

Competition sponsorship is certainly a good thing. With such a success on the first try, more sponsors will be willing to join in the next competition.

In time, many international brands will gradually begin to cooperate with them.

The first competition will definitely result in a loss, but once the next competition begins, the subsequent gains will be extraordinary.

After touring the stadium, Lin Yifeng was already looking forward to the game.

The organizers, including Lin Yifeng, were also looking forward to the competition, as were many local participants.

In front of a guesthouse in Shangdu, a group of blond-haired men crowded at the entrance.

This caused passersby to stop and look, and even the guesthouse owner looked pained.

These days, it's not a good thing for so many thugs to gather together.

The officers from the surrounding police station come to visit this area three times a day, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

However, it was clear that this group of blond-haired men had no interest in fighting. Instead, they formed a small group and doodled in their notebooks.

The elderly people passing by shook their heads and sighed as they looked at the group of blond-haired men.

"What kind of world is this?"

"How many days has it been since we arrived?"

"What are you planning to do? Robbing a bank?"

The old woman muttered to herself.

The old man cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

Upon hearing this, one of the blond-haired men immediately frowned and walked straight toward the old woman.

The old woman's expression froze, and the old man also shielded his wife behind him, glaring fiercely at the blond-haired man.

What are you doing?

The blond-haired man grinned.

"Auntie, we're not here to cause trouble, we're here to compete!"

"Play a competition?"

The old man and woman looked puzzled.

The blond-haired man explained with obvious pride.

"Of course!"

"A large number of people were eliminated out of 6,000, leaving only 128 of us."

"The champion can get 300,000 yuan, and the runner-up gets 100,000 yuan!"

Upon hearing this, the two elderly people were completely stunned.

"How many?"

"Three hundred thousand?"

"What competition? Why are they offering so much money!"

The blond-haired man snorted and replied arrogantly.

"Street Fighter competition!"

"Playing video games!"

"It's so lively!"

Huang Mao's words completely shattered the worldview of the two elderly people.

Three hundred thousand for playing games?

Their retirement pensions, earned through a lifetime of hard work, might not even amount to a third of this sum. This guy just plays games and gets 300,000 yuan. Their first reaction was that he was a scammer.

The old woman saw that Huang Mao was not old and looked like he had only been in society for a few years, so the two of them tried to persuade him kindly.

"Child, don't be fooled! There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"Yes, be careful, don't let someone sell you out."

Yellow Hair waved his hand dismissively.

No, it won't.

"Registration is free, what can he possibly rip us off about?"

"And it's being held in a large stadium, so what are we afraid of?"

This made the two elderly men feel like their worldview had collapsed.

Soon the news began to spread throughout Shangdu Province, and many people learned about the e-sports competition that the stadium was going to hold.

This prompted newspapers that had already sensed the news to flock to Lin Yifeng and his group almost every day, hoping to get some useful clues.

Of course, Lin Yifeng didn't have time to deal with all that.

He is currently handling the final cleanup work for the match.

After several days of anticipation, many game enthusiasts from within the province flocked to Shangdu, ready to witness this largest e-sports event in China.

On the day of the match, the area outside the Shangdu Stadium was packed with people.
