Meng Xue had a number of male fans who were attracted to her gaming skills.
Of course, in the grand scheme of things, Meng Xueâs gaming abilities wouldnât rank among the best in the country.
But for a female celebrity to reach the Starlight tier in the competitive arena was impressive enough.
Her good looks also drew in quite a few male admirers, including Chi Yu.
Chi Yu frowned, âWith Meng Xue here, any effort from you would be in vain. Donât waste your time.â
Although he had teamed up with Si Fuqing for a dungeon before, where she earned the MVP and showed significant improvement in her gaming skills, competing against Meng Xue seemed like a sure way to humiliation.
Meng Xue had even been invited by the âOracleâ team to participate in this yearâs domestic celebrity league, a privilege not afforded to just anyone.
[Is Chi Yu lacking in social skills? What business is it of yours if Si Fuqing is consoling Ning Luoyao? Canât you keep quiet?]
[You think my wife is weak? My wife can beat all of you!]
[My impression of Chi Yu plummeted after the Starry Star Girls and D6 promotional shoot, and now itâs completely gone.]
[Chi Yu is just straightforward; he means no harm. Heâs close with Meng Xue, so naturally, he sides with her. As for Si Fuqing and Meng Xue⦠well, those who understand, understand.]
Si Fuqing turned to him, her fox-like eyes curving into a smile, âLook at your logic, straight from the gut to the brain, huh?â
[???Haha, well-said!]
[Iâd pay for a course on how to retort without swearing, taught by Si Fuqing!]
[I always freeze up when someone says something about me. I envy Si Fuqingâs quick wit.]
Chi Yu took a deep breath, about to retort, but Si Fuqing had already turned away, chatting with Ning Luoyao and ignoring him.
âAlright, letâs start our match,â the assistant director clapped his hands. âWhoâs going first?â
âIâll go,â Yuan Heping volunteered. âMeng Xue, youâve got good gaming skills.
Show us what vouâve got.â
Meng Xue humbly responded, âI still have much to learn from Teacher Yuan.â
âNot at all. Iâm just at the Diamond tier,â Yuan Heping sat down at the computer. âYouâre Starlight; Iâve never reached that.â
Despite his fit physique at sixty, Yuan Hepingâs reflexes had dulled with age. Meng Xue played an assassin, while he chose a blademaster.
In a few minutes, the assassin had the blademaster soundly defeated. Meng Xue smiled, âThank you for the game, Teacher Yuan.â
âAh, Iâm getting old,â he sighed. âCanât keep up with you youngsters.â [Meng Xueâs assassin skills are impressive. Not just for show. Iâm a fan now.]
[The assassin is one of the most difficult classes to play well, and Meng Xue nails it.]
Next up were Chi Yu and Xu Jiannian, facing Meng Xue. Chi Yu chose to forfeit.
[Chi Yu must really be a devoted fan of Meng Xue. If he werenât so obviously straight, Iâd think he had a crush on her.]
[Meng Xue is off-limits. No ships, nothing.]
Xu Jiannian, also at the Starlight tier, excelled as a swordsman.
âTeacher Xu,â Meng Xue nodded politely. âIâm starting now.â
The second game lasted longer, but Meng Xue still emerged victorious.
Xu Jiannian looked at Meng Xue with newfound respect, he was not stingy with his compliment, âTeacher Meng is very skilled.â
Meng Xue replied modestly, âIn other areas, Teacher Xu, youâre my senior. I have much to learn from you. Please guide me if we meet on set in the future.â
She aimed high in the entertainment industry, and Xu Jiannian, a top actor, was someone she wanted to connect with.
Finally, Meng Xue turned to Si Fuqing, âYour turn, whoâs playing?â
Si Fuqing looked at Xu Jiannian still seated at the computer, âPlease, make room. â
Xu Jiannian apologized with a smile, âTeacher Si, be careful. Teacher Meng is quite formidable.â
Meng Xue didnât miss Xu Jiannianâs overly attentive manner towards Si Fuqing and frowned slightly.
Si Fuqingâs attractiveness was indeed a powerful asset, swaying many men. Si Fuqing sat down, leaning back casually , her hands loosely on the keyboard, âLetâs begin.â
Both entered the competitive arena.
Meng Xue was at the Starlight tier.
Si Fuqing, on the other hand, was at the Bronze I tier, her profile starkly empty.
Qi Shuning asked in confusion, âIs there a big difference between Bronze and
Starlight?â
âA world apart,â Chi Yu replied. âItâs like heaven and earth, incomparable..â
