The ears of Chi Yu buzzed, leaving him momentarily unable to comprehend what had just transpired.
On the other end of the phone, the Oracle official who had called was once again bewildered.
Initially, the revelation that a female voice answered the call had shocked him profoundly, to the point where he dared not even breathe too loudly.
âI⦠I didnât say that,â the official said, sounding both aggrieved and meek, âWho would dare teach you how to play games? That would be sheer arrogance, a total lack of understanding of their place in the world.â
NINEâs fame as a swordsman did not mean she was incapable of mastering other classes.
For these top-tier players, being proficient in twenty-four classes was a fundamental requirement.
Otherwise, how could NINE the God have possibly invented different combo moves for various classes?
There were many classes that countered swordsmen, yet NINE remained unbeaten.
âItâs not you Iâm asking,â Si Fuqing said, never once glancing at Chi Yu, pausing for a moment before continuing, âHe asked to meet me and requested a private room?â
Could it be as Yu Tang had guessed, a fan, andperhaps an otaku at that?
Maybe suffering from social anxiety?
âYes,â the official breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly becoming obsequious, âBecause Jiu the God expressed willingness to attend the offline player meet-up, but deemed no one else but you, NINE the God, necessary to meet.â
The official was not particularly surprised by this request.
Indeed, the gossip on the forums seemed credible.
Jiu the God and NINE the God had somethinggoing on between them.
âAlright,â Si Fuqing considered for a moment, âI guess thereâs no one else I need to see besides him. Letâs do as he suggests.â
âNo problem!â the official eagerly agreed, âWe will ensure a memorable evening for both you and Jiu the God!â
Si Fuqing:
Was the officialâs imagination running a bit too wild?
She thought she might need to give Ji Yun some feedbacks.
After the call ended, Si Fuqing continued to enjoy her free time.
Chi Yu remained stationary, still unable to grasp the situation.
Only when footsteps approached did he snap out of it, his complexion turning ashen as he stumbled over his words, âYou⦠NINE? Youâ¦
Even he, foolish as he was, understood that Si Fuqing had no reason to stage a drama for the Oracle officials just for him.
Suddenly, all the pieces fell into place.
No wonder NINE the God had appeared near them during that ancient street cultural promotion shoot.
And no wonder Si Fuqing had easily defeated Meng Xue in the âSurvival 66 Daysâ, on the day where they played the game, outplaying those two villagers.
Not just NINE, but any top-ranked players could have done so.
As Chi Yuâs recollections deepened, his complexion grew paler.
No wonder Meng Xue had been killed consecutively byJiu the God ten times recently.
But how did Jiu the God know that Si Fuqing was NINE the God?
These questions, however, were not important.
What mattered was what he had just said.
He had actually suggested Meng Xue teach Si Fuqing to play the bard!
Even he had been captivated by NINE the Godâs mesmerizing combos to join Oracle. How could he not know the extent of NINEâs gaming skills?
Who was qualified to teach NINE?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Retreating several steps, Chi Yu looked despondently at the girlâs profile, âYou are NINE, youâ¦â
The revelation was too overwhelming for him to accept immediately.
NINE the God was his idol, yet he had spoken of her in such a way because of Meng Xue.
What was he doing?
Upon entering the outdoor garden, Cheng Yiqiao saw Chi Yu standing beside a table.
âWhat brings you here again?â she approached swiftly, blocking him and asking coldly, âIs it because of that Meng something again? Are you really out of your mind?â
Hearing this, Chi Yu looked panicked, suddenly turned, and ran.
He stumbled a few times along the way, falling down but quickly getting back on his feet and continuing to run.
âWhatâs with him?â Cheng Yiqiao was puzzled, âWhy does he look like heâs lost all will to live? Is he ill?â
âI donât know,â Si Fuqing called out lazily, âTeacher Cheng, if you donât eat soon, Iâll finish it all.â
âIâll pass,â Cheng Yiqiao sighed, âAs female celebrities, we need to maintain our figure. I ate too much yesterday, need to control it today.â
Saying this, she looked enviously at Si Fuqing, âQingqing, your body really knows where to put on weight.â
Si Fuqing touched her chin, âTeacher Cheng, I can take you for a workout. I post fitness videos weekly.â
Cheng Yiqiao recalled the workout videos posted by Si Fuqing, âNo, no, letâs just eat.â
Even the Mousses were saying, working out with Si Fuqing could be lethal.
The exhibition match was a highlight of Oracleâs ninth anniversary, and the player meet-up for various servers was scheduled for this weekend..
