This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 126 - 109: Golden Era (Part 2)

He’s not fighting alone!

Behind him is a professional team, with strong software and hardware collaboration, unparalleled hardware performance, and the support of laboratory technology.

With all this, how could he lose?

Brimming with confidence, Xu Xiaofei quickly sat down with his teammates in front of the Herman Miller ergonomic chair and the Sang 8K monitor.

"Damn, they’re filthy rich!"

"A single chair costs more than my entire computer. I’m literally crying..."

"Did you only notice the chair is Herman Miller and not the display is Sang’s top-end 8K monitor?"

"I just checked, the price is heartbreaking!"

The viewers watching the live broadcast of the match were quickly astonished by the ergonomic chairs the players sat on and the Sang 8K monitors.

What kind of competition is this?

Isn’t this just a professional eSports match for a niche game? How come they’re so rich?

"Sponsorship, all of it!"

If Chen Ba could see the viewers’ comments, he would modestly say that he didn’t buy them, nor would he buy such impractical things!

The ergonomic chairs, monitors, and even the entire venue’s network services, are all sponsored...

That’s right!

In areas unnoticed by everyone, Huazi also sponsored this "Golden Era" league, providing full support for network communications and event broadcasts.

Of course, the pricey ergonomic chairs and 8K monitors are just appetizers.

When all the teams had gathered and moved their respective "DIY" rigs to the center of the venue, the viewers in front of their screens were completely stunned.

Is this thing a computer tower?

A giant black lump, roughly the size of a double-door refrigerator, and you’re telling me this is a computer tower?

If you said it was a server, I’d even believe it!

Who are those people circling around the rig, donned in protective gear and holding large and small tanks? Why is there a "Professional operation, do not imitate" warning caption in the live broadcast room?

The viewers were utterly puzzled.

Didn’t they say it’s a DIY rig? Why is there a "Professional operation, do not imitate" warning sign?

They can’t even see what’s inside the rig, and they have no idea what these people are doing, so how could they imitate it?

Due to the compression of the live broadcast quality and shooting distance, viewers watching online couldn’t see clearly. But those sitting in the venue, especially in the front rows, had a perfect view.

Liquid nitrogen! That’s liquid nitrogen!

Isn’t this thing going to explode?

The on-site audience, who were originally thrilled to have front-row seats, suddenly regretted not buying back-row tickets when they saw the engineers aggressively adding liquid nitrogen.

Being so close to the rig, what if the computer can’t withstand it and explodes later during the match?

That shouldn’t happen, right?

Just as everyone was comforting themselves, thinking that although liquid nitrogen cooling is abstract, it’s not that scary, several staff members entered carrying fire extinguishers.

The audience: "..."

Alright, so this is how it’s going to be?

Regardless of how worried the front-row audience was, the first match of the Golden Era Jiangning Station finally began.

Intel VS Refused Protection Jia!

Since Xu Xiaofei was the ace, he couldn’t be used yet, and Big Beard arranged for another teammate to play.

The two sides chose Feather Venerable and Celestial Beetle Venerable, igniting an epic battle in 8K ultra graphics.

In the end, the player sent by Intel regrettably lost, with the computer emitting thick smoke, prompting the engineer to rush forward for inspection and repairs.

0-1 start!

Big Beard’s face was dark; he probably didn’t expect them to be beaten like this right in the first match.

Refused Protection Jia isn’t even strong...

Xu Xiaofei glanced at Big Beard’s gloomy face and felt the heavy pressure on his shoulders.

Although his teammate didn’t use the headquarters’ laboratory technology, only using an unreleased modified VRAM version of the 4090Ti.

But the configuration isn’t bad either.

Yet, they still couldn’t take down Refused Protection Jia, making the following matches nerve-wracking. Especially knowing that Daren Shuo and AMD are tough opponents ahead!

Daren Shuo is manageable...

According to their intel, they should also be using the modified VRAM and frequency version of the 4090Ti Pro.

But AMD is different!

This team is dubbed as the biggest favorite to win, who knows what experimental technology they’re hiding, but it’s definitely not the 7900 series.

This is verified information.

The modified or enhanced 7900 series might be used by other teams, but AMD has its own "backup hidden power," and they will definitely use an undisclosed new card.

"There’s not a single pushover!"

Having watched two matches under the stage, Xu Xiaofei saw no surprises that the rigs emitted smoke and either the CPU or GPU core was damaged.

The winners didn’t fare much better.

Just these three matches alone, the hardware damage converted to RMB was at least 100,000 yuan minimum.

In other words, these three matches burned through his month’s salary...this isn’t a competition, this is burning money!

Soon, the Intel team entered the second round of the match, facing their least wanted opponent—AMD.

"Go for it!"

Teammates and Big Beard all cheered Xu Xiaofei, they absolutely cannot lose this match.

If they lose again, Big Beard might receive a transoceanic call from the United States headquarters. By then, not only Xu Xiaofei’s job but even Big Beard’s job could be in jeopardy...

Can’t lose this job!

Xu Xiaofei took a deep breath, nodded, and then put on noise-canceling headphones, fully immersing himself in the competition.

The opponent chose an obscure Profound Turtle Venerable!

Bothered not by whatever schemes the opponent had, Xu Xiaofei picked his most masterful Emperor of the Long Night with utmost confidence.
