In a quiet corner of the bustling city, Jamie Smith and May Lee were enjoying a rare moment of solitude, their laughter echoing through the night like the twinkling lights of the stars, warm and bright. Meanwhile, Finn Brown and his wife strolled through the busy shopping mall, their conversation standing out amidst the hustle and bustle.

"Isn't this the most thriving commercial complex in the city? Why is it so deserted now?" Finn Brown remarked, looking up at the sparse crowds on each level of the mall. "Even the gold and jewelry shops seem to have more salespeople than customers."

His wife also paused, her gaze wandering: "Ever since the virtual world opened, fewer people come out at night. After work, most just dive into the virtual world."

Finn Brown nodded gently, his eyes showing a hint of agreement: "Right, now even selling goods is done through live streams in the virtual world. You can try on clothes at will, find any style you want! It's convenient, and you don't get tired from shopping. Real-life shopping... it's time-consuming, and you can't see as much."

"Look over there," his wife pointed to several areas in the mall that were closed off with barriers, as if telling untold stories. "Those are all closed. Many tenants have already withdrawn their leases. The virtual world has only been open for a month, and it's had such a big impact... In my opinion, in half a year, there will be even fewer merchants in the mall than there are now."

"Even if the mall closes, it won't matter," Finn Brown said. "You can order food for delivery, all from top-tier chain restaurants with the best professional robot chefs. And some entertainment, it's much cheaper in the virtual world."

"Cherish the mall while it's still here, it'll become a memory in the future," Finn Brown sighed, his voice echoing through the mall's corridors as if narrating the end of an era.

This is the tide of the times. Originally, some internet companies were impacted, and now the physical industry is also affected in all aspects. Even those selling goods have all moved to the virtual world. There, the cost of selling is lower, and there are more customers.

...

In another corner, Chase Ron's family dinner was in progress. His body was as sturdy as a bear, and his voice was as loud as thunder as he bellowed at his three daughters: "You eat so slowly? It's been half an hour and you're still not finished!" His eyes shone with sternness, as if he were commanding an army on the battlefield.

The three daughters ate slowly with their heads down, their eyes showing a hint of fear, as if facing a strict general.

"Oldest, it's just a piece of meat. Can you chew it up in one bite? This piece of meat has been in your bowl for ten minutes, and you've chewed it so many times, and you still haven't eaten half of it?" Chase Ron stared at his eldest daughter, his voice thundering, making her involuntarily lower her head.

"The meat is a bit tough," the eldest daughter whispered, her voice carrying a hint of grievance.

"And you, second daughter, look at how many rice grains you have on your table! Is your mouth leaking? Clean it up yourself!" Chase Ron roared, his veins bulging with anger as he turned to his third daughter, "Third one, stop laughing! You eat the slowest."

"Dad, I feel a bit dizzy," the third daughter said, holding her head. "Maybe I got heatstroke from exercising today."

"Are you kidding me? You've been practicing evolution techniques and still got heatstroke? Can't you come up with a better excuse? Hand out!" Chase Ron picked up a ruler nearby.

"Mom!!!" The third daughter immediately shouted.

In the distance, her mother was watching the screen, watching the news, very calm, casually saying: "Don't call me, today is your dad in charge of your meal, I don't care about anything!"

"Whack whack whack!" Chase Ron grabbed the third daughter's palm with one hand and slapped with the other, "Let you lie again, let you lie again!"

Eight minutes later.

"To the virtual world!" The three daughters immediately went to their rooms.

Chase Ron came to the living room, drained.

"It's so tiring, watching them eat a meal is more exhausting than fighting ten battles," Chase Ron sat there.

"Don't worry, it will get better when the kids grow up," his wife comforted, her voice carrying a hint of tenderness.

"Why did I have three? One is already a headache, three... They are not daddy's little cotton-padded jackets, they are three big mountains," Chase Ron sighed.

His wife said helplessly, "How should I know, how could I give birth to three at once?"

"Also, we are going to look for a house," Chase Ron said, "We need to change to a bigger house quickly, these three little girls are chirping, my head is about to explode, and then buy a better butler robot to help take care of the children."

His wife immediately looked forward: "Are we rich now?"

"Almost, the prize money will be in hand as soon as the competition is over," Chase Ron thought of the bonus, sweetly said, "At least ten million in bonus, if we make it to the finals, the bonus will be even higher! This is the most I've ever earned, this time it's really Jamie who is flying, I'm just lying and winning!"

"You have to work hard too, don't drag the team down," his wife said.

"Don't worry, I'm working hard too," Chase Ron said.

"Today's semi-final, are you confident?" His wife asked.

"Well..." Chase Ron was worried, "Senior Ray Cloud is still a bit scary."

...

In another family, Quincy Shawn was tutoring his son Leo Shawn in math. His brows were furrowed, and his voice was stern: "You got the three-digit addition and subtraction right, but you got the two-digit addition and subtraction wrong?" His gaze was like a sharp sword, pointing directly at his son's mistake.

"I was dazzled," Leo Shawn lowered his head, his voice carrying a hint of apology.

"Two-digit addition and subtraction, do a hundred problems, don't finish, you are not allowed to enter the virtual world," Quincy Shawn said, his voice carrying a hint of no-nonsense.

"Okay," Leo Shawn hugged his father, leaned against his father, "Dad, don't be angry, I will do it seriously."

Quincy Shawn gently touched his son's head, his movements carrying a hint of tenderness: "Quincy, I heard you roaring in the house, teaching children, you need to be patient." Quincy Shawn's mother came out, her voice carrying a hint of reproach.

"Mom, you help me take care of Taotao, I'm going to the virtual world first, tonight is the semi-final, I have to practice more." Quincy Shawn got up, his voice carrying a hint of anticipation.

"Go ahead, go ahead." Quincy Shawn's mother said with a smile, her eyes carrying a hint of encouragement.

...

In the personal space martial arts field, the battlefield scene, hundreds of cavalry galloped towards Emily Johnson, Emily Johnson one person one bow, quickly shot out one arrow after another, the speed of the arrows was extremely fast, one after another, the cavalry fell down. When the last cavalry rushed to the distance from Wang Mi, he was also killed by one arrow.

"Archery, I have long practiced it as an instinct, but still did not break through the third order." Emily Johnson thought, her eyes carrying a hint of determination, "The national archery technique given to me by the country, I learned according to the method, still can't break through."

"Breaking through the third order, how can it be so difficult?"

Emily Johnson has long been all aspects to reach the second order 99%, and has been stuck in the bottleneck for more than half a month.

"This competition, if you don't break through the third order, I can't play a role at all." Emily Johnson continued to practice archery, her movements carrying a hint of persistence, "Keep practicing."

In the middle of the night, the virtual world's Xiaguo official live broadcast room was very lively. A huge number of people kept pouring into the live broadcast room, and the number of people displayed in the live broadcast room was also six hundred million, constantly jumping and rising.

In the past few days, all kinds of media have been reporting the Fire Seed Cup competition in an all-round way, which is the biggest momentum in Xiaguo in the past few days. People are naturally attracted, and the later it is, the more intense the battle will be, and the greater the attraction will be.

Jamie Smith and May Lee also came to the stands together and saw the parents of the double Eugene Fong who had arrived early.

"Jamie!" Chase Ron took the three daughters and shouted from a distance, his voice carrying a hint of excitement.

"Jamie, why are you so late?" Finn Brown, Quincy Shawn also came over, their eyes carrying a hint of expectation.

"It's that you came too early, the competition starts

at 0 o'clock, there are still twenty minutes left." Jamie Smith said with a smile, his voice carrying a hint of relaxation, "Emily Johnson hasn't come yet? I'm not the slowest."

A group of people gathered together, their figures forming a beautiful scenery on the stands.

"Jamie, I have to gather with the team, you also come with me, and say hello to your elders." Hugh Smith called, his voice carrying a hint of seriousness.

"Coming." Jamie Smith immediately went over, his movements swift and decisive.

"Let's go."

The two clicked lightly and teleported directly to the surroundings of Ray Willow on the stands.

Ray Willow stood there, surrounded by Dane Tony, Michael Davis, Jacob Clark, and some relatives, Daisy Young was also among them. At this moment, Samuel Bell also appeared with his son "Yvonne Archer."

"Hurry up and meet your elders." Hugh Smith took Jamie Smith over, his voice carrying a hint of pride.

"Master." "Master."

Jamie Smith called Dane Tony, Ray Willow, and the two, Dane Tony laughed: "This kid Jamie, strictly speaking, has only had three masters over the years. His father and me, and the team leader! Now all three masters are on our team... Jamie, if you make it to the final, if you attack us, that's a betrayal of your teachers!"

"You say that." Samuel Bell came over and said with a smile, "Jamie Smith doesn't even need to attack you, his teammates can deal with you. The only one who needs Jamie Smith to attack is the captain."

"I'm looking forward to it, he can defeat me." Ray Willow looked at Jamie Smith, his eyes carrying a hint of expectation.

"The gap between me and the master is still very big now." Jamie Smith said, his voice carrying a hint of modesty, "And the biggest difficulty we are facing now is Senior Ray Cloud. The semi-final that is about to start, our team is under a lot of pressure, there is no confidence at all."

The people of Ray Willow's old team also nodded when they heard this, their eyes carrying a hint of agreement.

"Ray Cloud is very powerful." Ray Willow nodded, his voice carrying a hint of seriousness, "With his body technique, you can hardly form a siege, one on one... This semi-final, your team is very dangerous. In short, don't think too much, do your best to fight."

"Who is strong and who is weak, it's only after the fight that we know." Hugh Smith said, his voice carrying a hint of determination.

Jamie Smith nodded, his eyes carrying a hint of determination.

"Jamie Smith." Yvonne Archer came over and shook hands with Jamie Smith, his movements carrying a hint of respect.

"Yvonne Archer." Jamie Smith also reached out, his movements carrying a hint of politeness.

"I watched your battle with Eugene Fong, you completely suppressed Eugene Fong, completely defeated him. I admire it very much." Yvonne Archer said, his voice carrying a hint of admiration, "I was the one who lost to him."

Jamie Smith said: "He is wearing heavy armor, which is somewhat restraining you."

"If I meet you, you are holding a double shield, you can still rush to me, and kill me with one shield." Yvonne Archer shook his head, his voice carrying a hint of self-mockery, "My strength is indeed weaker than you two. My archery is not good enough, otherwise Eugene Fong can't stop my arrow, my body technique is not fast enough, if it's fast enough, he can't get close to me."

"Let's all work hard together." Jamie Smith said, his voice carrying a hint of encouragement.

Yvonne Archer took a deep look at Jamie Smith, nodded, and left, his back disappearing on the stands, looking a bit lonely.

Jamie Smith walked towards Daisy Young, his movements carrying a hint of concern.

"Senior." Daisy Young smiled brightly, her eyes carrying a hint of expectation.

"Is the pressure big?" Jamie Smith looked at the girl, his voice carrying a hint of concern.

"The pressure is huge." Daisy Young made a bitter face, her voice carrying a hint of helplessness, "My father and the other elders, everyone is cunning and sly as a fox. The most terrible one is still Senior Ray Willow. That's the number one in the world, our whole team is holding a desperate idea, we can fight a few is a few."

"Come on." Jamie Smith encouraged, his voice carrying a hint of determination.

Daisy Young looked at the system prompt and said, "I have to go and gather with the team, it's time to go on stage."

"Hurry up." Jamie Smith nodded, his eyes carrying a hint of expectation.

...

After walking around and seeing some friends, Jamie Smith returned to his own team, and the time also came to 0 o'clock, the Fire Seed Cup semi-final, under the attention of the whole people, finally started.
