Qi Shuning responded with a soft âOhâ and smiled without saying anything further.
[Bard, huh? Itâs a support role usually played by girls.]
[Meng Xue seems very professional at it. Si Fuqing probably wonât last five minutes.]
[Five minutes is too generous. With her bronze tier, Meng Xue will have her beaten in one minute.]
The preparations for the duel were complete, and the battle commenced.
Everyoneâs eyes were glued to the screen, watching Si Fuqing skillfully maneuver her Bard, sitting cross-legged.
As the melody of the instrument began, the attack was launched.
There were no flashy moves involved.
Within thirty seconds, Meng Xueâs assassin character was defeated, while the bard remained at full health.
Si Fuqing didnât bother with the âVictoryâ message popping up on the screen; instead, she frowned and looked down.
This keyboard is no good. It lacks the proper tactile feedback.
She thought, attributing her slightly off performance to the equipment.
The room fell into an eerie silence.
Chi Yu, wide-eyed and shocked, stared at Si Fuqing.
He couldnât believe she had defeated Meng Xue so swiftly.
Meng Xueâs confident smile began to falter, her pupils constricting slightly.
She was always proud of her gaming skills.
Even though she hadnât taken the duel with Si Fuqing seriously, she didnât expect to lose so quickly, especially without even fully grasping how Si Fuqing had executed her moves.
When Si Fuqing had previously overshadowed her with the suona, Meng Xue didnât feel much.
But now, she felt a sense of threat.
There was only room for one star in the team, and Si Fuqingâs practice with the bard class seemed like a direct challenge to her position.
âFuqing, your bard seems to follow an aggressive style,â Yuan Heping said, surprised. âAre you a fan of Jiu God? Many young girls admire him.â This remark also sparked a reaction among the fans watching the live stream.
[The number one Bard, Jiu!]
[During the last dungeon, the combination of Jiu and NINE was amazing. I love the Double Nine team!]
[Bets are on. Whoâs on top and whoâs on bottom?]
[Meng Xueâs fans were saying Si Fuqing wouldnât last a minute. Your idol didnât even last thirty seconds!]
[The bard counters the assassin, you know? Besides, Meng Xue wasnât even trying her hardest. She was holding back.]
[Excuses, excuses. In esports, being unskilled is a sin. Meng Xue keeps boasting about being an esports girl, but when did being a Starlight teir become something to brag about? Iâm in the Challenger teir and I donât dare claim Iâm good at esports.]
Si Fuqing, suppressing her inner fury, put on a fake smile, âYes, Iâm his fan.â
But in her mind, she thought, Absolutely not. I must defeat him to avenge the sneak attack he once made on me.
Chi Yu spoke up, âThen, during this yearâs Oracle official league, Meng Xue can take you to the event. Maybe youâll get to meet your idol.â
Si Fuqing feigned ignorance, âSay that again?â
The suggestion of being accompanied by Meng Xue was not to her liking.
Ning Luoyao also expressed her displeasure, âQingqingâs gaming skills are superior. Why can Meng Xue go and not her?â
Chi Yu found the situation amusing, âCan she really be compared to Meng
Xue?â
Chi Yuâs face turned ashen as he understood the implication.
The audience burst into laughter.
[Wow, Si Fuqing really has a way with words. I need to write these down!]
The young man stretched lazily and took a few more glances at Si Fuqing. âSo, youâre the one competing? Youâre really beautiful. Are all female celebrities as pretty as you?â
The viewers reacted humorously.
[Jokes, everyone is a fan of looks.]
[Relying on skill when you could rely on looks!]
Si Fuqing responded playfully, âMaybe not as pretty as me. Letâs start, shall
Both youths played assassins and were quite skilled. While the Bard indeed had some advantages over the assassin, a slight lapse in reflexes could lead to instant defeat.
Si Fuqing played more seriously, also considering not to demoralize the youths who complimented her. She extended the duration of the battle. Tvventy minutes later, the cold mechanical voice of the system announced,
âDefeat.â
The young man sighed, âI lost. Here, this is for you,â offering Si Fuqing what he called âgrass.â
Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, looking at what the young man handed her.
It seemed the entire Miracle Doctor Alliance had some misconceptions about âgrass.â
The young man looked peculiar and somewhat dejected.
He had carefully chosen a good item, yet the beautiful lady showed no reaction.
[Is he really giving her grass?]
[Those earlier comments donât know anything. Thatâs not just any grass; itâs a
Five-leaf Ganoderma! Itâs worth tens of thousands on the market!]
[What kind of place is this, exactly?]
