Chapter 4, The Underrated Contender
In the quiet reading room, Qiu Ying wrote her homework for a while. She remained restless. She put down her pen, cradled her head in her hands, and felt a sense of loss. The conversation she had with Ji Xiangkong that night resurfaced in her mind.
Thank you... thank you... Qiu Ying let out a sigh. Once bitten by a snake, one is afraid of the well rope for ten years
The one on the far right, Qiu Ying, has finally been recognized. He is wearing a white shirt and khaki trousers. The other four stand together, exuding an intimidating presence, which makes him appear like a refined and gentle young master.
I said so. That time in the duo queue, it was obviously Ji Xiangkong who was letting Qiu Ying down. There were several instances of seeing someone in danger and not helping!
Rather than blaming others or fate, it is better to take the initiative. If there are no opportunities, then create opportunities! Continue to strive to break into the commentary circle. You will surely be able to reconnect with Ji Xiangkong!
Pei Xi then continued, "Having the ultimate move in hand provides greater deterrence against the enemy"
He has a tall and slender figure. His back is straight. He is fully focused and carefully placing the food he is holding onto his plate. The sauce accidentally splatters onto him. He immediately twitches violently all over.
The boy was still criticizing Ji Xiangkong for various shortcomings. A girl standing in the front row interrupted him, saying: "The leaders of those clubs are not foolish. Why would they want such a poor performer?"
Qiu Ying took two donuts from the table. Hiding in the corner, she devoured one in three bites. She forced herself to calm down
Qiu Ying then recalled that Ji Xiangkong was known as the "Battlefield Fraudster." This was not only due to his unconventional equipment choices and his varied and bizarre tactics, but also because of his proficiency in acting.
That was because ... ... '' The boy suddenly fell silent. He lowered his eyelids and silently gazed at the hand of Qiu Ying, which was clutching the corner of his clothes
Qiu Ying nodded vigorously. Pei Xi slightly pursed the corners of his mouth, seemingly in a good mood. He unexpectedly continued to explain the next match to her
A dozen or so beams of cylindrical light flickered in the hall. The lights finally focused on a group of people standing on the red carpet. The applause thundered
Shuwen smiled upon hearing this and said, "The outside world claims that you are fortunate, always surrounded by the most formidable newcomers. In fact, it is quite the opposite, isn't it?" She twirled her goblet and asked, "How did you two meet?"
On the large screen, the agile Sword Saint swiftly traverses the battlefield. Amidst the flashes of blades and swords, three enormous letters are carved out.
Assist. Protect the elder brother. Arrange reconnaissance and guard duties. Provide all necessary items for the team
The captain is implying that Ji is relying on his mouth to play the game against Kong.
His reputation is not particularly good. If Qiu Yingru wishes to start as a newcomer commentator, it would be best not to get involved with him
The image of Qiu Ying, who appeared charming yet unable to conceal her nervousness during their first meeting, surfaced in his mind. Ji Xiangkong slightly curled the corners of his mouth: "We happened to meet by chance, so I struck up a conversation."
"Do not believe it, look up! Has the heavens spared anyone!"
Qiu Ying's lips twitched slightly. Her hands trembled even more violently
She discovered that although Ji Xiangkong has many black fans, his teammates spoke very positively about him in interviews
Newland
The boy wearing a hat said lightly: "He is trying to lure them in. Making the opponent feel that they can kill him. Then leading them into the encirclement of his teammates"
Oh dear. Someone like Ji Xiangkong clearly just ends things after the ambiguity is over
The expert scoffed, "Hmph. A professional player. Lacking even this level of awareness."
She must strive to become the commentator with the highest number of viewers for Conquer. She must inform everyone as soon as possible. Ji Xiangkong is not some esports socialite. The ability to frequently enter prestigious circles and achieve excellent results in major competitions stems from his own strength
Legend is also known as the male model team. Everyone often jokes that the boss selects people based on looks. Their playing style is flexible, and their tactics are varied. This time, Captain Cris could not attend due to other commitments. From the left, they are Lin Yixuan, Lu Feng, and Huo Yao. Lu Yiyi was unaware of Qiu Ying's unusual behavior and continued speaking. "The tallest and most handsome one is Ji Xiangkong. About half of the female fans in the Conquer circle are drawn to him."
After a series of explosive live action shots, the screen focused on Ji Xiangkong. His four teammates beside him all wore frowns, some even growling softly. Only his face remained unperturbed. He calmly tapped on the keyboard, occasionally speaking into the microphone. The next scene showed their opponents angrily slamming their keyboards after being defeated by them
Lin Yixuan cast a flirtatious glance and nudged him with her shoulder, saying, "It's alright. You still have me"
After getting rid of her gossipy teammates, Ji Xiangkong walked to the bar. She smiled, her eyes curving, and greeted the woman dressed in a sharp professional outfit: "Sister Wen."
The news post of that interview has received many replies
On Saturday afternoon, Qiu Ying was in the screening room watching the replay of the Seattle Global Finals with a group of players. A boy next to her, noticing that she was a beautiful girl with bright eyes and white teeth, volunteered to explain the situation of the game to her
( Fountain: After a hero is killed, they will countdown at the fountain in the base while waiting for resurrection )
Qiu Ying immediately drooped her head like a deflated balloon and said sullenly: "There is none."
Pretending to be serious
Perhaps it is better not to.
Qiu Ying nodded vigorously in agreement in her heart. Moreover, not only is he a lewd sycophant, but he also has poor judgment.
The evening features a buffet. It is held in the hotel's banquet hall. A large circular table filled with fine wines and delicacies is set up in the center. On the far left, there is a red carpet leading to the stage at the front.
Qiu Ying curiously looked towards the red carpet. Five individuals stood in a line. The one closest to her was dressed in dazzling red, with a spiky hairstyle, walking with an arrogant tilt of the chin.
She was troubled about how to continue the conversation. However, Pei Xi spoke up first.
It was learned that she was only invited for a visit. Lu Yiyi, also a newcomer, volunteered to be her guide, eager to share everything she knew.
Perhaps because he had been slapped in the face twice before, his volume this time was considerably lower
The King of Defense, Dragon. The team with the lowest average turnover rate. Their playing style is calm and meticulous. They leave no room for even the slightest flaw for their opponents. Lu Yiyi did not forget to provide a detailed introduction about them
That day. Can I see him again
Shuwen tilted her chin in the direction of Qiu Ying and said, "You asked me how I managed to get an extra invitation. Is it for her?"
In the end, she lay down on the bed in despair. What was she thinking? It had already been said that they should no longer be in contact.
At a distance of half a chair, Qiu Ying curiously asked, "How do you know so much?"
In order to gain a deeper understanding of esports, Qiu Ying gritted her teeth and took out a portion of her hard-earned savings. She made time every week to go to "Dream Traveler" to watch the match broadcasts and listen to the players discuss the game situation on-site
Huo Yao and Lu Feng on the opposite side could not be more eager to beat drums and gongs
In order to show off his understanding, he would spout a series of profound and enigmatic terms. However, after this period of deep learning, Qiu Ying had long mastered the ability to translate them directly into plain language.
A gentle breeze lifted the curtains. The patter of rain tapped against the glass. Qiu Ying's heart was in turmoil. A warmth slowly crept over her heart, growing hotter and spreading within her chest. She wanted to smile, yet her nose involuntarily tinged with a sourness. She could only keep taking deep breaths.
He specifically apologized to her for the previous season. He solemnly stated that he should not have believed the rumors without verification. He thought she was using her beauty to gain favor and taking advantage of the situation. He acknowledged that his teasing of her had been excessive
This is just to create a big news story. You haven't forgotten the scene during the live broadcast when the bullet comments were wildly gossiping and throwing dirt, have you
Lu Yiyi introduced: "The most aggressive team, VPG. Their playstyle is fierce and their aggression is like fire"
In the Conquer competition, the sources of money and experience are referred to as 'resources'. They are primarily divided into four types: defeating enemy heroes, defeating minions, defeating jungle monsters, and destroying enemy defensive towers. Since the resources across the entire map are limited, teams must ensure a reasonable allocation of resources
After passing through the sixth and seventh teams, the applause from the audience grew even more enthusiastic. The music reached its climax
The young man seems to be at a loss for words. He raises his eyebrows awkwardly and says, "Who knows? This rubbish is appealing to both genders. Perhaps it’s just an unspoken rule... Oh dear!"
A few minutes into the match, the "expert" entered into a mode of verbal assault. After listening to a few sentences, Qiu Ying realized that he was a hater of Ji Xiangkong
Is he trying to draw himself into the circle? It turns out that the suggestion for her to become a female commentator that day was not just a casual remark
She had long witnessed the most ruthless winter of life. Even when pushed to the forefront, she could bravely advance amidst the hail of bullets. No one had ever silently stood in front of her like he did, bearing the harm that should have been her own self-imposed entanglement.
Qiu Ying took out her notebook and hurriedly jotted down her words in cursive script, fearing that she might miss a single word or phrase
The battle situation is tense. The camera on the screen switches to the bottom lane. Four enemy players are pushing together. Meanwhile, Ji Xiangkong, with only half of his health remaining, is swaggering around in a dangerous area as if completely unprepared for the impending crisis
People around her were constantly bowing in her direction. It was then that she realized she looked like a lovesick girl. In a panic, she let go of her hand. The phone fell to the ground, making a loud noise. She bent down to pick it up, and her head bumped against the table.
Hello
As she passed through the lobby on the ground floor, her footsteps faltered. A large television was broadcasting CCTV's "News Live Room".
Assuming on the way to dismantle someone's home. The more people eat, the stronger they become. The stronger they are, the more enemies they can defeat. However, the amount of food available to a team is limited. Therefore, it is necessary to plan in advance. Some people should eat more, while others should eat less
However, he only maintained a serious expression for three seconds. Then, with a playful glint in his peach blossom eyes, he lowered his voice and raised an eyebrow suggestively, saying, "I will compensate you."
Sugar indeed has the power to uplift one's spirits. After regaining her confidence, Qiu Ying found another opportunity. She approached him while Ji Xiangkong was leaning against the wall, alone.
Ji Xiang glanced at Qiu Ying and said, "It's alright. Please continue."
The content is roughly similar to the rumors circulating online. After graduating from high school, he went to South Korea to study abroad. He joined a professional esports team there. Later, he was tossed around like a ball by second and third-tier teams, consistently failing to achieve results. His teammates mocked him for being clumsy and unsuitable for a career in esports. After graduation, he returned to his home country to develop his career. His skill level is widely regarded by players as the worst in the professional scene. His reaction time is slow, and his gameplay is not flashy. From time to time, he is killed by opponents, becoming a source of easy points for them. After graduation, he returned to his home country to develop his career. His skill level is widely regarded by players as the worst in the professional scene. His reaction time is slow, and his gameplay is not flashy. From time to time, he is killed by opponents, becoming a source of easy points for them
It's all right, she thought. He must not have seen her just now or was lost in thought. He wouldn't ignore someone.
Qiu Ying turned to the boy wearing a hat. She noticed that his lips were tightly pressed together. After a long silence, he finally couldn't help but speak: "That area has no visibility according to the Legend. He went there to scout the way. Otherwise, everyone would die inside."
Seeing him relentless, Ji Xiangkong casually replied: "I was dumped"
Looking further to the side, one can see a tall and robust man, nearly 1.9 meters in height, with dark skin.
Remember the lesson. Do not come with any temptations or seductions again
No matter how many people try to vindicate Ji Xiangkong, the haters will always find a way to interpret their words as: "Ji Xiangkong is the social butterfly of esports. He has good relationships with others"
Qiu Ying couldn't help but sigh. Ji Xiangkong's ability to attract fans is truly formidable... No wonder his followers are referred to as a cult in the esports community
The dining environment for such individuals is rather harsh. A moment's inattention could lead to being taken down by the opponent. They are always ready for team battles, charging into the fray. With a sturdy physique, they can withstand blows and create opportunities for their companions to reap rewards.
How could a social butterfly like you end up like this
Oh? Shuwen raised her eyebrows in suspicion
In an instant, Qiu Ying's image transformed from that of a scheming woman clinging to professional players to one of being completely humiliated during a live broadcast by Hua | Hua | Gong | Zi. The baby feels wronged but remains a magnanimous girl who chooses not to speak up.
The rules of the game Conquer involve two teams, each consisting of five members. The teams attack each other, and the side that completely destroys the opponent's base first is declared the winner
The boy shook his head enigmatically and said, "It's just good luck. His skill lies in relying on others. His teammates are all exceptional." Seeing the puzzled expressions of the girls, he dramatically sighed and continued to explain, "For instance, their captain Cris. He is the number one Conqueror in China. His teammates have said, 'As long as I stand beside him and watch him act, I know we can win.'"
Oh my goodness. What am I saying
The entrance ceremony has concluded. Finally, free activities have resumed. Ji Xiangkong and two strangers are approaching. Qiu Ying takes a deep breath, adjusts her attire, and pretends to be calm as she waves at him, displaying a sweet smile
Qiu Ying understood it in a simple and easy-to-comprehend manner. It is akin to this: you take your brother to ambush the solitary Old Wang next door. Just as you make your move, you discover that Old Wang's parents, uncles, and aunts are descending upon you with great ferocity. The situation immediately shifts from a two-on-one to a five-on-two. The ambush fails, and instead, you find yourself being grabbed by the hair and beaten up.
No need
The afternoon was the time for various teams to take promotional photos for their sponsors. Qiu Ying followed Lu Yiyi as they wandered around the studio. The makeup artists were busy applying makeup on the faces of those young boys. She couldn't help but imagine Ji Xiangkong sitting obediently in a chair, allowing others to style him. Unfortunately, they did not encounter anyone from Legend along the way
The tide has receded. The screen is filled with pitch darkness. The petite dark girl, Annie, summons a giant bear. Flames dance wildly. Emerging from the ashes is—
In the esports industry, there are many different roles both in front of and behind the scenes. In addition to club executives, team leaders, data analysts, coaches, and players, there are also event operations, planning, commentary, hosting, and journalists and editors from major news portals. Furthermore, there are live streaming platforms. Major competitions are generally broadcasted on these live streaming platforms
She is quite pitiable as well. Previously, she was also affected, causing her popularity to plummet.
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Pei Xi lowered his eyelids and said, "I apologize"
"Did she not specifically come looking for you last time?" Lin Yixuan formed a ring with his fingers and placed them over his eyes. "While you two were in the garden, indulging in sweet nothings, my brothers and I were watching clearly through binoculars!"
In an instant, several words flashed across my mind like a barrage of bullets.
The expert also cast him a glance, pretending not to have heard anything. Before long, he erupted in anger: "What is this season's Xiang Kong doing inexplicably entering the enemy jungle? Is he trying to give away kills?!"
Qiu Ying's hand, which was holding the mouse, trembled slightly
He leaned casually against the bar, his gaze openly shifting back and forth with the comings and goings of the beautiful women: "Well, when it comes to beauties, I always have to take a few more glances."
At the same moment, on the other side, four individuals from Legend are gathered around a table
In a moment of confusion, Qiu Ying gently tugged at the boy's shirt hem and politely asked, "May I ask why Ji Xiangkong wanted to unleash a big move just now, but then canceled it?"
Perfect
Dragon
Ji Xiangkong let out a compliant sigh
This person looks quite good. But their skills are very poor. A boy arrogantly raised his chin. I estimate they are not as good as I am
Qiu Ying immediately took a step back. The image of Qiao Xin leaping into his arms flashed through her mind. She rolled her eyes inwardly.
From Tuesday to Thursday, the school is filled with classes. During the lunch break, Qiu Ying struggles to descend the central spiral staircase of the library, holding a reference book that is as tall as her head. She is preparing to go to the reading room to catch up on her assignments. Countless posts online mock her as a cheap streamer who resorts to selling her looks for popularity. Few people probably know that she is studying a serious major in Broadcasting and Hosting Arts.
Qiu Ying held a piece of linen-colored thin paper in both hands, her eyes brimming with tears of emotion. Just as she was about to carefully put away the note, a line of bold, bright red characters suddenly appeared behind her.
After chatting for a while with fellow commentators in the same profession, Qiu Ying, feeling downcast, found herself hungry again. When she went to the restaurant to get some food, she noticed that the person next to her was acting a bit strangely
Someone grabbed her wrist. Lu Yiyi's appearance was like a lifeline.
Excellent commentary also requires a thorough understanding of the background information of each team and each player. After scanning the news on major portals, Qiu Ying had no choice but to brace herself and dive into the forums and message boards filled with rampant gossip, frantically posting.
Pei Xi attempted to directly wipe away the lipstick mark. Qiu Ying instinctively stopped his action, saying: "No, no. You'll only make it worse."
Qiao Xin's boyfriend. A sycophant with a lewd demeanor and poor taste. ... Rude, obsessive-compulsive about cleanliness, and pretentious ...
Esports rely on skill and speed of execution. Do not try to fool us with cleverness if your fundamental skills are lacking
Qiu Ying was speaking with Lu Yiyi. Suddenly, the lights in the banquet hall dimmed. The Conquer logo slowly appeared on the large screen of the stage. A stirring and powerful music began to play amidst the changing lights and shadows. The next scene showed the Frost Archer from the game drawing her bowstring towards the audience. With a "whoosh—" an ice arrow was shot out.
The VPG team crossed the stage and took their seats at the dining table. Immediately afterward, the screen switched to a scene where the fishman Nami summoned a massive wave. The sea roared as it swept away the enemies in its path, crashing against the reefs.
The game is divided into three lanes: top, middle, and bottom. Each hero starts at level one. They gain experience and gold through various means, allowing them to learn new skills and purchase more powerful equipment
The topic continues to evolve into the old wine in a new bottle. It shifts towards a critique of Ji Xiangkong's character extending to his professional standards
Not far away, Qiu Ying was exchanging contact information with a few newly acquainted individuals. When she turned her head and saw Ji Xiangkong, the phone in her palm felt heavy.
Qiu Ying turned her head. She saw a tall boy wearing a white hoodie. He was wearing a baseball cap, the brim pulled down low, almost covering half of his face.
Oh, right. You know ... ... '' Lu Yiyi seemed to realize something. She scratched her head, as if pondering her words. `` Uh ... ... do you still keep in touch now? ''
It feels as if a hole has been drilled in my heart. It is empty and nothing can fill it.
She heard her own hoarse voice: "Long time no see."
Such individuals are very vulnerable in the early stages. They require protection. However, the more they consume, the faster they grow. Once they are well-fed, they become robust figures, striking with two punches upon encountering others
From the moment she saw Ji Xiangkong today, she felt an inexplicable sense of strangeness. It was as if there was an insurmountable wall standing between them. It seemed that his previous playful teasing was a facade. It felt as though his act of protecting her in the alley was also a pretense. The heartfelt conversation they had that night in the garden seemed to be false as well. It was as if they had never known each other at all. This left her with a heavy feeling in her chest. It felt as though their sincere conversation that night in the garden was also a facade. It was as if they had never known each other at all. This left her with a heavy feeling in her chest.
The person in the middle is somewhat older. He has very short hair. His gaze is sharp and piercing. He possesses a certain aura reminiscent of a gang leader.
Qiu Ying's heart began to race "thump thump thump"
In the distance, Qiu Ying and Pei Xi were seemingly unaware of what had transpired. The two were almost pressed against each other. Lin Yixuan could not help but exclaim: "Has she forgotten you so quickly? Is she infatuated with that pretty boy Pei Xi?!" After saying this, he shook his head in sorrow. "Tsk tsk. Women are truly heartless."
After listening to his words, Qiu Ying's chest rose and fell violently. A surge of passionate blood welled up in her heart
When she finally saw that expressionless blank face, Qiu Ying's mood worsened. The dish she wanted to pick was right next to him. As she reached out her arm, she heard his voice.
Global flow. Heroes with full map support capabilities are combined together. Utilize mobility to concentrate superior forces. In an instant, it can create a situation of many against few. This will catch VPG, which has always excelled at continuously initiating small-scale team fights, off guard.
The other two exchanged glances and politely greeted each other. However, Ji Xiangkong showed no reaction. He passed by her, ignoring her completely
May I continue to keep in touch with you via WeChat
She had not yet had the time to feel happy when she discovered that she had left a distinct lipstick mark on someone else's white shirt
He is Pei Xi from VPG
Just as the atmosphere reached a freezing point, a woman who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time stepped forward. With great enthusiasm, she began to discuss the dazzling newcomers in the second team with Ji. After a long while, she slightly apologetically asked, "Am I interrupting you?"
No ... ...
Mid-laner. Possesses a certain level of combat and late-game capability. Serves as the primary source of damage for the team before the carry comes online
The boy next to him has a head of golden hair. He wears silver earrings. His slightly long side-swept bangs partially cover his eyes
Ji Xiangkong said slowly and steadily: "The esports industry is not yet fully mature. There is a lack of excellent female game commentators in the country. Her image and temperament are both exceptional. She most likely has a background in dance. Her pronunciation and enunciation are very clear. She should have undergone professional broadcasting training. I later checked her streaming data. As an amateur streamer, she consistently maintained three hours of streaming every night for a year without interruption. Her attitude is serious and diligent, but she is applying her efforts in the wrong direction. I later checked her streaming data. As an amateur streamer, she consistently maintained three hours of streaming every night for a year without interruption. Her attitude is serious and diligent, but she is applying her efforts in the wrong direction. The clips selected for the competition video editing she did previously were very precise. If she puts some effort into understanding the game, she should be able to achieve great success."
poker. Shen Yue.
The boy across shook his head, revealing a regretful expression that seemed to say, "This girl is quite attractive, but unfortunately, she is a bit dim-witted"
VPG
He relies on unspoken rules. There are people above him. His teammates do not dare to offend him
Seeing her grip her own wrist, Pei Xi's expression darkened further. He wanted to pull away, but she tightened her hold. After a few tugs back and forth, he "slapped" her hand away.
Qiu Ying's smile froze on her face. She awkwardly withdrew her hand and sensibly moved her chair a little to the side
He still wanted to continue teasing Ji Xiangkong. However, he was the one who had his hand grasped first by the other party. Suddenly, goosebumps covered him all over: "Hey! You shameless scoundrel who swings both ways! Let go!"
The "expert" was momentarily taken aback. His gaze caught the smile at the corner of Qiu Ying's mouth. Instantly, his expression darkened
In the semifinals of the Seattle Global Finals, VPG lost to Legend in that match due to the new "Global Style" strategy developed by Ji Xiangkong
She wants to know more about what he is like in reality. However, he doesn't even have a single post on his social media.
His words successfully captured the attention of the young girls: "Is that true or not? They are a professional player. They are the world runner-up."
Her head felt as if it had been struck hard by someone. Qiu Ying stood frozen in place, unable to utter a single word
That evening, Ji Xiang Kong issued a statement on Weibo. He expressed that he often watches Qiu Ying's live broadcasts and finds her interesting, which is why he took the initiative to invite her to duo queue with him. The two did not have a close relationship. Suddenly, the public opinion shifted dramatically, and onlookers began to follow suit in their comments
Nevertheless, just as appetite is difficult to control, so too is the fervent springtime passion of a girl in unrequited love. Whenever she comes across interesting images and anecdotes, she cannot help but send him a WeChat message
The day of the celebration event has arrived in the blink of an eye. Qiu Ying arrived early and soon engaged in lively conversation with the staff. She was also recognized by a young journalist.
Qiu Ying's back stiffened. She was afraid that she might say something like "the four major green tea bitches"
This female anchor is truly pitiful. Clearly, she is the one who was seduced. Yet, she has been taking the blame for him for so long
With rhythm
The expert was slapped in the face three times and got up angrily. Qiu Ying then excitedly sat down next to the boy wearing a hat, hoping to obtain more information from him
Jian Ji was still looking down at his phone. A strong sense of unease silently spread in his heart. Qiu Ying could only continue to stammer: "Um. I don't know if you check WeChat. I... I sent you a lot of messages... I didn't expect you to post such a statement on Weibo... Clearly, it was me... I... Uh. And thank you for the invitation letter..." Clearly, it was me... I... Uh. And thank you for the invitation letter...
Ji Xiangkong's performance is not considered outstanding among professional players. There are even significant flaws. However, he is exceptionally intelligent. Many of Legend's victories have come from outsmarting his opponents.
Accompanied by a piercing sound effect, the screen shatters. Fragments rain down, piecing together the name of the first team to make their entrance
"Where are the famous commentators of Conquer Circle? I will take you to meet them." After walking a few steps, she leaned close to Qiu Ying's ear and whispered, "Why are you looking for Ji Xiangkong again? Your matters have finally come to an end. Don't let others catch hold of you and create a narrative again"
Conquer features a total of 110 heroes available for players to choose from. Each hero possesses 4 unique skills, a talent tree, and distinct growth attributes. In order to fully understand these, Qiu Ying adopted the spirit of a dedicated warrior, memorizing the game data thoroughly.
Most people are always like this. Without any deep thought or verification, they accept rumors and hearsay at face value. Then, they proudly proclaim to the world that this is the "truth"
Qiu Ying went to the other side of the dining table to get food and then walked back. Her steps were too hurried. She stumbled and bumped into a passerby. Seeing that the full plate of food was about to spill all over the ground, she twisted her body into a beautiful braid, forming an inverted 'L' shape, and steadily held onto the plate.
It is precisely because he has restrained three opponents on the top lane that the teammates in the other two lanes face almost no pressure and can develop quickly. A cold voice came from the diagonal rear. "The strategy for this match is to play a life-and-death four-protect-one, safeguarding the core player Cris for rapid growth. Ji Xiangkong is constantly harassing in the top lane, and there is a strategic purpose behind his actions.
The other party turned their head, revealing a face rich in mature charm
Qiu Ying's legs felt as if they were filled with lead, allowing Lu Yiyi to drag her forward.
She edited a long WeChat message to thank Ji Xiangkong. She wrote and deleted it, deleted and wrote it again. She waited anxiously all night. No reply was received.
Scar. Tongwu.
Indeed. The expression of concentration while wearing headphones is so charming! I will check what his name is when I get back
I did not expect such a lively atmosphere at a dinner party. Qiu Ying covered her mouth in surprise
Even the legendary captain Cris of Legend has stated: "Ji Xiangkong is the brain of Legend. China Conquer does not lack talented generals. However, it is difficult to find a charismatic leader"
Thinking of this, Qiu Ying took out her phone from her backpack. On the chat page with Ji Xiangkong, she sang her lonely monologue.
Qiu Ying looked around in confusion. Lu Yiyi reminded her: "The previous ones were all first-tier teams. Next up are the three major powerhouses"
Qiu Ying was momentarily taken aback. She instinctively looked at his face. They were in a corner. There were not many people around. Despite the dim lighting, she still recognized him
Spring Water Commander Ha ha ha
Legend
Faced with Lin Yixuan's curious question, Ji Xiangkong did not respond
Qiu Ying bumped into him heavily from behind. The books in her hands hit him all over. She nonchalantly picked them up again, coldly tossed out an "I'm sorry," and walked away without looking back
So it is. Qiu Ying silently gave a thumbs up to this young man in her heart
Yue. Qi Yue.
Shuwen, the female CEO of VPG Club, is one of the leaders of the China Electronic Sports Alliance. She is astute and capable, with substantial financial resources. She is known as the "Empress Wu of eSports".
It was learned from Pei Xi that the position played by Ji Xiangkong belongs to a disadvantageous single. It requires strong pressure resistance and the courage to take risks. Originally, it is difficult to shine even for those who play well. For those who play poorly, the position is evidently clear. During the competition, both sides engage in a stalemate and strategic maneuvering. Erroneous actions are inevitable. Those who harbor biases against Ji Xiangkong will naturally magnify his mistakes infinitely
Ji Xiangkong finally mustered the courage to look up at her. There was not a trace of a smile on his face. His tone was icy: "Rather than wasting time here with me, you might as well do something useful. Don't forget the original intention of coming here."
Inferior orders. The team's pressure-resistance position. Often facing multiple opponents alone. Requires a robust physique and agile escape abilities
The reporters who captured this scene not far away whispered among themselves
He thinks more than anyone else during the competition. He arranges the lineup and tactics. If the Conquer competition is a chess game, we are the pieces. He is the player. He knows how to lead us to victory
Qiu Ying had been in a state of despondency for an entire week. Finally, on a particularly sunny day, she regained her vitality
Just as football has forwards, midfielders, defenders, and goalkeepers, the Conquer professional team is categorized based on the proportion of resource occupation. They are sequentially divided into: ADC. The core mainstay of the team. Late-game hero, commonly referred to as the "big brother." Their early-game capabilities are not strong, focusing primarily on farming and development. They are key objects of protection. Once their equipment is fully developed, they can turn the tide of battle.
Qiu Ying's raised arm froze in the air. It remained suspended for several seconds before finally retracting along an unnatural trajectory. For a moment, she did not know where to place it. It was not until Lu Yiyi carefully tugged at the corner of her garment that she came to her senses, her scalp tingling with unease
This person speaks so little. However, when it comes to mentioning Ji Xiangkong, it is one sentence after another
Qiu Ying could not help but express her feelings. It is often said that a woman's intuition is unreasonable. The hatred of black fans is often equally irrational. In summary, I cannot stand you. It is useless to explain.
Qiu Ying was filled with excitement. Suddenly, she heard a few girls beside her, their faces flushed, whispering in admiration: "The person just shown on the screen is so handsome!"
At that moment, Qiu Ying stared blankly at the screen. Her mind was in a daze
His tone was drawn out when he spoke, exuding an air of "a high-end player saving time to chat with you commoners." Noticing the young girls' faces were filled with expressions of "Although I don't understand what you're saying, it seems quite impressive," he became even more pleased with himself. He then went on to elaborate endlessly about Ji Xiangkong's career.
Others chimed in: "Yes, you just said that his team is the best in China. They have already reached world-class competitions. Why leave a potential risk for yourself?"
Qiu Ying had long since focused all her attention on Ji Xiangkong. He had his hands in his pockets. With each step he took in time with the music, his legs appeared straight and long. His features, rendered in the interplay of light and shadow, were exceptionally handsome and deep.
Qiu Ying felt dazed. Her face burned with pain, as if she had just been slapped.
From Lu Yiyi, it was learned that the gaming television station STV is planning to cultivate new female commentators for the Conquer competition. Qiu Ying decided to give it a try. Once she takes something seriously, she thoroughly researches every detail and strives for perfection. In just one month, aside from the most basic attribute data, she has already memorized the relationships of strengths and weaknesses among Conquer heroes, common team compositions, skill point allocations, and item build strategies. When she speaks, it flows effortlessly, much like Wang Yuyan from "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" who has memorized all the martial arts manuals.
Qiu Ying awkwardly sat back down in her chair. Her gaze swept over the important dates she had marked on her phone calendar. Suddenly, her heart began to race like a drum.
Qiu Ying was initially planning to ignore him. But then she thought, forget it. Let's just go for broke. After all, he is a professional player, and his understanding of the game is more accurate.
Such a person is a maid. They generally do not receive much food. They stand guard and keep watch. They shield others from harm. They sacrifice themselves to raise various children.
Did you see that? The embarrassment on Qiu Ying's face is palpable
Qiu Ying tied her hair into a ponytail at the back of her head. She used an old-fashioned wide headband to hold back her bangs, revealing a smooth forehead. While murmuring to herself, she took notes on the Conquer instructional video.
"Dream Traveler" is a high-end chain internet café founded by China's first retired player to win the Conquer World Championship. The environment inside is comfortable and the facilities are complete. It gathers many high-end players, and it is said that professional players occasionally make appearances.
Jungle. Develop in the jungle area. Roam across multiple lanes. Creator of ambushes
After each person is born, they begin to grow and thrive through means such as eating, exercising, and learning. They grow taller and gain knowledge
Lin Yixuan was stunned for a moment. Then he struck his left palm with his right fist and said, "It is most likely that your group of fervent female followers sent a blood letter to him. Oh! Or perhaps you are just too attractive to the ladies."
"Summit. Pei Xi." Lu Yiyi pouted. "Don't be fooled by his handsome appearance. This gentleman is the most ruthless and merciless player in VPG. When he catches an enemy, he slams them to the ground and grinds them down."
The first step to becoming a commentator is to have a sufficient understanding of the game
Well. Give her a chance to understand the esports community
In addition, Ji Xiangkong enjoys continuously employing novel tactics and item builds, often not understood by commentators and the audience. He is humorously referred to as using unconventional methods. After losing a match, when reviewing the data, he inevitably faces the assumption from the audience that his poor performance is a shortcoming.
Until the end of the event, she was never able to exchange another word with him
Qiu Ying was left standing aside like this. She watched as Ji Xiangkong put on that frivolous demeanor again. She observed the heavily made-up woman laughing at his words. Then, his gaze swept over, revealing a look of surprise that seemed to say, "Why are you still here"
Ji Xiangkong shrugged: "That's just as you said."
Qiu Ying clicked on Ji Xiang Kong's profile picture. Her finger glided slowly over his enlarged photo. It brushed past his tousled hair. It glided over his straight nose. It passed over his eyes, which held a tender expression even when he was not smiling. Finally, it lingered reluctantly on his lips
Pei Xi pondered, "In team competitions, I have never won against him"
Compared to the earlier VPG and Dragon, Legend resembles a sunny and handsome idol group. All members are dressed in casual attire. Lin Yixuan's T-shirt even features a large cat that appears to be startled, with its mouth wide open in a scream. It is simply shamelessly cute
Qiu Ying cautiously raised her head, directly facing Pei Xi's face, which had turned a chalky gray.
The global esports "World Cup". The Chinese team secured second to fourth place, winning over 8 million US dollars in prize money
In a moment of crisis, one resorts to acting and makes a hasty retreat
Ji left a note for Kong: Prepare well. Perhaps some opportunities can be found.
Such individuals need to forage in various places. Harass the enemy. Protect the safety of teammates feeding along the three routes.
As soon as the words were spoken, several members of Legend suddenly emerged from the shadows, annihilating the opposing team in an instant
Pei Xi turned his gaze to the large screen. Watching Legend ascend the enemy high ground with great momentum, he said slowly and earnestly: "He is an underappreciated player. I have always hoped to be on the same team with him"
Five individuals in matching attire appeared on the red carpet. They all wore black-framed glasses and sported crew cuts. Rather than resembling an esports team, they seemed more like a highly accomplished research group.
Wow. The famous person of the wandering star. Are you really going to transform?
Unexpectedly, the little girl ran to her side. Excitedly, she shook her arm. In her big eyes, stars were shining: "I am your fan. Lu Yiyi. I have been following you for a long time. I especially love your voice!"
Seeing Legend defeated in a team battle, the "expert" excitedly slapped his thigh, heartbroken: "I really don't understand. Why did they have to use such a poor player as Ji Xiangkong? They died several times shortly after the start!"
Such individuals tend to be quite precocious. From the very beginning, they are quite capable. They take on significant responsibilities before the elder brother emerges. However, their stamina is not as strong as that of the elder brother
Strong overall perspective. The assessment of the situation in the battle is quite accurate
I apologize. She twitched her lips and softened her tone in a conciliatory manner. "Using soda water for mixing cocktails can remove it. I will help you..."
Two days later, Qiu Ying received what was referred to as compensation in her mailbox. An invitation to the celebration event for the Global Finals. At that time, all the personnel from Conquer's esports circle, both front and back stage, would be present. There would also be many first-line celebrities.
I apologize," Pei Xi said淡淡地. "I do not like others to be too close to me

What is going on today? One by one, they are lining up, making her feel embarrassed
I am not good at English. I do not have a car. ... I am also not very familiar with the way ... ? ... Can you take me there
Ji Xiangkong has an overly good temperament. The commentator is not afraid of offending him. During team fights, they only mention his mistakes, attracting those who do not understand the game to follow suit and criticize. He paused for a moment. Just like earlier, Legend was in a two versus three situation in the bottom lane. The commentator only mentioned that Cris, with low health, killed three opponents, without mentioning that it was Ji Xiangkong's crucial silence that provided him with the opportunity to deal damage
Why didn't you greet the beautiful Qiu just now
