The guild was formed with just five underdogs who wouldn't have stood a chance against the Red Cloaks' elite, let alone against a high-tier expert. Yet, they had some misplaced nerve, and without hesitation or delay, they established their guild.

As soon as the guild was formed, they assigned positions. Sheng Qiangwei was the strongest, so she naturally became the guild leader. The next strongest was Fatty, so he was appointed deputy leader. Elvvis was appointed as the military advisor, in other words, the protector of the guild, while Xia Qi and Xia Xin were set as the military chiefs.

The second task was to recruit members. However, the founding members did not seem to be keen on that. Other than the two sisters who aimlessly wandered around the guild, the others were all watching official videos.

"Hey, Sis Wei, what are you watching?"

"A video, is there a problem?"

Fatty shook his head. "What's the point of watching videos? By the way, have you heard of the Revenge Shadow Rider? He's been making quite a buzz recently."

"I heard about him. He's supposed to be a really good player, right? What about it?"

"What about it? Don't tell me you've never seen his battle videos."

Sheng Qiangwei innocently shook her head...

Seeing this, Elvis and Fatty glanced at each other in disbelief.

Black Ghost couldn't believe it. "Leader, are you sure you've never watched his videos?"

"Certainly."

"I suggest you do. He's widely popular for his entertaining gameplay. His battle style is crafty and unpredictable. Although his tactics may not be something everyone can emulate, each of his battles is considered a classic."

"Is that so? Well, let's check him out then." With the two of them pointing her in the right direction, Sheng Qiangwei quickly found past videos of the Revenge Shadow Rider.

Of course, at this time, they weren't the only ones watching his battles. The crowd checking back on his past battles was vast.

It was the weekend. Many company employees, students, and workers used Star Wars as their pastime of choice. Some even saw it as a lifestyle choice. Star Wars was the only mecha simulator used by the Federal Army, and it attracted many enthusiasts from other factions like the Saudi Empire, Valan Empire, the Saylia Royal Family, Weibang, Hell's Gate, and the Zana Republic.

At least ten ace pilots from various countries had made appearances in Star Wars, making it a hidden battlefield for powerful players.

One could say that the Revenge Shadow Rider was slightly famous, but that was only in comparison to Alpha and its surrounding areas. Since the Revenge Shadow Rider's first appearance was in Alpha, he inevitably attracted attention. But the further he went, the less well-known he became. A private driving a Phantom Knight under the ID of 0001 wouldn't get much attention. People were more interested in the Red Cloaks, the aces, and the talents from the military schools.

Despite this, the Revenge Shadow Rider had a loyal fanbase. They often gathered in small circles, happily discussing his unique battle style and personality. At first, they only discussed the tactics, but the conversations soon turned personal. The Revenge Shadow Rider didn't go online to flirt, make money, or increase his popularity. He simply sought a challenge. He was always unpredictable and would always turn the tide in his favor.

Now, Hans, the marketing manager of the Star Wars division, had also joined the Revenge Shadow Rider fan club. Hans would often join discussions about the Revenge Shadow Rider on forums. According to the regular netizens, the Revenge Shadow Rider usually appeared in the evenings and on weekends. Based on this information, Hans had to pay special attention to these times.

In his office, Hans paced around anxiously. The four commentators he hired were all ready to go. Charlotte was cute and silly, Hot Rod was passionate and unrestrained, Comedian No.1 was humorous, and Little Wu was good at handling unexpected situations.

Although this commentator lineup wasn't top-tier, Hans believed that a team that catered to public taste was the key to survival. In some ways, Hans was crazy. He was hard on himself and even more obsessed with his work. If he had more authority, he would have invited a few industry professors as guests.

All he could do now was to quietly wait for the Revenge Shadow Rider to come online. He had put all his eggs in one basket. As soon as the Revenge Shadow Rider came online, Hans would negotiate a deal with him and use his full authority to promote the Revenge Shadow Rider's matched battles to neighboring star systems.

Waiting was agonizing. To handle the stress, Hans called for takeout and ordered more cigarettes.

The four commentators had gathered, but they didn't yet know what the night's work would be. They all had to be prepared well in advance, working overtime as the head of the marketing department commanded. Unfortunately, the higher-ups had already taken all their commentary gigs.

Comedian No.1 was a handsome man, but at the moment, he looked far from happy. As the experienced big brother of the group, Hot Rod advised not to worry too much. If the Revenge Shadow Rider comes online, they could just go with the flow. Often, staying calm was better than overperforming.

Within the Star Wars game, people of different classes were busy with their own matters. Students were busy flirting, mechanics were busy modifying mechas, and many workers had just logged into the game after work. They would usually either boast with their friends or go monster hunting or player killing. If things went wrong, they could just run away. Since they were all noobs, losing their equipment wasn't a big deal.

If they had spare time, they would also watch the live streams on the homepage. The Revenge Shadow Rider was undoubtedly a bright new star in the local area.

Ding! A soft chime rang from a private room at the battle bar, indicating a successful login.

As soon as Feng Yi logged in, he went straight for the matched battles. However, he suddenly received a special system mail along with some shares from several battles...

With a quick look, he found that he had received 730 Federal Coins, which meant that an average of 7.3 million players had watched his battles. The distribution of these shares was based on the number of viewers... If a player who was watching through the video expressway was deducted 2 cents by the system, half of it would be converted into the player's income.

Of course, there were other types of income. Officially speaking, there were various TV shows, like ones that interacted with top players, designed to increase viewership.
