Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 759 - 7400_3

The main competition thus became a mere "warm-up match," and the variety-packed extra matches that followed were the real challenges.

After Combat Rooster's impressive victory on the sixth day, in the final match of the seventh day, the Rooster won again with ease—The Rooster didn't bother pretending anymore, laying its cards on the table: I'm not targeting anyone in particular; I'm saying all you opponents are trash.

It took only three minutes to knock its opponent in the seventh match flat.

The audience stood up in unison, about to chant "Refund!" when an Alliance official took the microphone and stepped forward, proactively saying, "Alright, we can skip this part. Extra match, let's arrange it!"

The fans burst into laughter. "This baldy sure knows what's what!" they exclaimed.

Today's extra match was the toughest one yet, with no fancy setups, just eight mechanical beasts. Among them were four steam-powered mechanical species and four Energy Gathering Mechanical Species.

But the difficulty lay with the four steam-powered mechanical species. These were creatures resembling armadillos, known for their formidable defense. Their rust-covered shells were so tough and thick that ordinary missiles couldn't blast through them.

They were positioned at the forefront, blocking Combat Rooster, followed by the four Energy Gathering Mechanical Species with their remarkable long-range bombardment capabilities. This was not a match, but a "hunting mode."

But Combat Rooster still won, enduring a hard battle of over half an hour before strutting off the stage as the victor.

After this match, Chen Gu faintly sensed that Combat Rooster was about to evolve, possibly taking an important step towards becoming a super lifeform!

The much-anticipated "Seven-Day Siege" concluded in such an unimaginable manner. Through this series of operations, Chen Gu, in his first season with the Alliance, indisputably became a red-hot superstar!

In the extra matches, the Alliance kept introducing various novelties, seemingly trying to deliberately create difficulties for Chen Gu. However, Chen Gu remained cool and clear-headed. The Alliance is cultivating a star. But it's also a test; overcome it, and you're a superstar. Fail to do so… you can only blame your inability to seize the opportunity, not others.

Over the past few days, Alliance officials, while chatting with Chen Gu, had been dropping hints: next season, the Alliance hoped he would join a club and compete in team matches.

After all, individual matches in the Behemoth Alliance didn't carry as much weight as team competitions.

Chen Gu was not opposed to such arrangements. The Alliance had propelled him to stardom and naturally hoped he would bring greater benefits. Having earned enough Starshield through the Alliance to secure his promotion was reason enough to cooperate.

So, an earlier thought became even more compelling. Buy a club?

「Three days after the "Seven-Day Siege" ended」

A discordant voice popped up on the fan forum.

"A mechanical species like Combat Rooster is far stronger than common dangerous species. The Alliance should create rules to prohibit Energy Gathering Mechanical Species from competing! They severely disrupt the ecological balance of the Alliance!"

As soon as this post emerged, a large number of fans rebuffed it.

But soon enough, the tide turned, and many supported this argument! Two factions holding different views initiated a fiery debate on this very post.

The battleground quickly expanded to the entire forum, with virtually all hot posts discussing this issue within twenty-four hours.

Qiao Shuangyi and Lin Xiaochen were in their dormitory, browsing the forum. They even created new accounts to jump into the online arguments and flame Chen Gu's detractors.

The plump Qiao Shuangyi spoke indignantly, "A bunch of cowardly losers! If they can't win, they don't want others to participate—you can't beat the Insect Race, so go tell them 'we won't play with you anymore' and see what happens!"

Lin Xiaochen couldn't hold back and unleashed a string of curses on the forum, only to receive a PING: Your account has been muted for 7 days!

"ARGH!" Lin Xiaochen roared in fury, "The moderators and administrators must be on their side! This can't be tolerated, Brother Chen! I'm going to call home right now..."

Chen Gu waved his hand, perfectly calm. "Don't get worked up."

"My appearance with Combat Rooster has upset many people's interests. The reputations of those we defeated plummeted. They all have their own die-hard fans. One or two might not be many, but all together, they amount to a considerable number. With a little guidance, the situation can turn into what we see now."

Qiao Shuangyi remained heated. "It's their own idols' fault for being worthless! Their fans are blind to like such garbage idols. Why should we be the ones to drop out of the Behemoth League?"

Chen Gu smiled faintly, a deep look in his eyes. "Don't worry. The Alliance will have something planned."

"Huh?" Qiao Shuangyi and Lin Xiaochen were confused.

This intensely popular debate caught the attention of various media outlets, which joined the discussion and shared their opinions on their programs. Overall, the media supporting Chen Gu were in the majority.

No one was fooled. Objectively speaking, Chen Gu could serve as a "catfish," motivating the entire Behemoth Alliance to elevate its standards.

And regardless of the reasons, rules mattered. The Alliance had explicitly allowed the participation of Energy Gathering Mechanical Species previously. Now that some couldn't beat them, they wanted to change the rules to force them out? What kind of logic was that? Might as well let their families dictate the laws, right?

After three full days, just as Chen Gu was about to leave for his third practical class, the Alliance's statement finally came out. It was a lengthy document of over a thousand words, reiterating the Alliance's stance on fairness, openness, and impartiality. Essentially, it all boiled down to one thing:
