Without any major threats, Old Man Power decided to play safe and hid some of tactics during the competition .

When Lu Li used his Cape for a burst in the end, he knew that he had underestimated his opponent, but it was too late by then . None of his aces were good enough to edge out the Cape in such a short amount of time .
Old Man Power had fallen into Lu Li's trap .
If they had both given it their all right from the start, then where the victory fell might still be in question . Even if Lu Li was guaranteed to win, he would have had to use more moves .
"Alright! Lu Li ran past the goal! He won!" the commentator shouted loudly .
"An amazing come back; totally unexpected . "
Jiang Gu was actually being spiteful that neither of these players had any sportsmanship . Even he could tell that neither of them had given it their all .
The the audience, analysts and other competitors were all just bystanders compared to these two .
"Congratulations," Old Man Power said as he completed the track . They were both teleported onto the award stage, and not only were the commentators there, but a special guest as well .
There were only a few people standing on the stage, while many more were standing near the stage to witness this final moment .
"I just got lucky," Lu Li responded humbly .
"I thought I had this in the bag, but I still lost to you at the end," Old Man Power sighed, looking at Lu Li with a complicated expression .

It was just as Water Fairy had told Lu Li; Old Man Power had some sort of skill or special effect with a short cooldown under his panther transformation . This was his fire cat transformation, which was a special effect on his equipment with a very short cooldown .
If he had used this form right at the beginning, he would have been able to create a large gap . Lu Li wouldn't have been able to catch up even with his final sprint in the end .
However, regardless of the situation, the cooldown on Lu Li's cape wasn't that long either . It was only two minutes, meaning that it could have been used many times in the competition .
Regardless, it wasn't hard to imagine Old Man Power's current mood .
"I wasn't expecting a Thief to win the championship at all . "
After the top three came out, no one bothered paying attention to the others behind them . At least, the two analysts had already redirected their attention to the award stage .
There were three competitors on the stage . One was Lu Li, a Thief, the other was Old Man Power, a Druid, and the last was the Hunter, who had sacrificed his pet .
As the first two rounds of the marathon began, the hosts were placed in quite an awkward position .
If the top three were Druids, wouldn't this mean that this was a competition designed specifically for Druids?
However, the final outcome was much better than they had anticipated . Only one player of the top three was a Druid, so no one else would be able to make any complaints . On the other hand, Druid players had solely taken up the spots between the fourth place to the thirtieth . The host could only find some other ways to cover up for this .

There were too many events at the end of the year, and not every player would be able to attend all of them .
It was only natural that the gaming company would place more attention on this event, considering that this was the only competition that gave out a Legendary equip .
When a figure walked out under the spotlight, the players, especially the male players, all began to jump up and down .
Many pretty celebrities liked to refer to themselves as the 'Otaku Goddesses' . Some had even managed to earn reputations such as 'one-in-four-thousand-years kind of beauty' . However, Su Mei hated to be referred to as an 'Otaku Goddess' .
She had only been a part of the industry for less than two years, played in a few movies and became one of the most famous female celebrities . She happened to be the guest for handing out the awards this time .
"Hehe, seems like Ms . Su is much more popular than us," Li Yidong joked .
"I can't believe the gaming company managed to invite Ms . Su over this time . Last time we saw her, she had only just joined the industry and gave us all quite an impression . "
Even though Jiang Gu was middle-aged, that didn't stop him from having a passionate heart .
"Are you guys excited to see Ms . Su?" Li Yidong asked the three competitors who stood beside him .
The Hunter was already so excited that he couldn't say anything . Old Man Power was more relaxed – he was a celebrity player himself, and was just as famous as her . He just smiled and said, "I'd be really happy to get an autograph from her . "
As for Lu Li, he wasn't a fan .

Not everyone could afford to live such a relaxed life; he had been busy throughout both his previous and current life .
However, even he had heard of someone like Su Mei . She was someone that almost anyone would know about, but that was it .
He didn't really understand why everyone was so excited about her .
Would it be better if he pretended to be a little more excited, just to fit in with the crowd? He just lived a more unfortunate life, but that didn't mean that he planned to stay out of the crowd .
Unfortunately, he wasn't a good actor!
As such, all everyone saw was just Lu Li with his usual cold face, and when he was asked if he was excited, he just nodded his head . No one could tell what part of him was excited at all .
"This guy is so good at faking it!"
"We bet he likes boys!"
"Let go of our goddess; let us hold on to her instead!"
This was the thought process of nearly everyone in the audience .
What occurred first was the standard speeches before handing out the awards . Then, Su Mei started to present the awards from the third place .
The Hunter barely had any presence at all throughout the whole process; he was just the third place after all . He received some experience and an equipment, as well as a small trophy item presented to him by Su Mei . As he trembled in excitement, he was teleported away .
"Power, kiss her! Power, kiss her!"
All the supporters of Old Man Power went crazy, screaming in unison .
Old Man Power's expression looked very awkward . If he really pounced forward like some kind of perverted man, his reputation would definitely be driven into the floor . As such, he just took over the award calmly from Su Mei, maintaining his usual composure during the whole process .
Then fans beneath the stage weren't impressed at all .
"No wonder why he has no girlfriend!"
"Just go and **** yourself!"
"I've been questioning your sexual orientation for a long time already . Now we finally know the truth!"
With the huge sum of experience he gained from being the second place, he almost gained an entire level . However, he didn't feel the slightest bit of joy at all . He just felt like the blue sky had suddenly turned pitch dark .
The second-placed competitor was teleported away too .
Besides the two hosts on stage, there was only Lu Li and Su Mei left .
"Before we present the award, I have a small request," Su Mei said as she held onto the little present box that contained the Legendary equipment .
