Chapter 41 - Im Here to Pick You Up

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Rustling conversations could be heard from the crowd.

Everyone was curious about this mysterious figure that was picked up by the Essence Soul personally, and they discussed the possibilities in their hearts.

The students of Class Eight who had called Jiang Xun had a simple understanding of what had taken place just now. At this moment, they were explaining the reason for Jiang Xun and Mo Zhu’s late arrival to one another.

Not long later, other than Mo Zhu, everyone from Class Eight had already arrived.

On the other side, Mo Zhu, who had agreed to the request, was waiting by the side of the road. She was kicking the small stones by the steps in boredom. Not long later after she had parted with the crowd, an expensive luxury car stopped in front of her.

The glass window of the driver’s seat slowly lowered, revealing a face that was covered with huge sunglasses and a mask. His features could barely be distinguished. The man turned his head and smiled at Mo Zhu as he said, “J-god, I’m here to pick you up. Get in the car!”

Hearing the man’s gentle voice, Mo Zhu retracted her gaze from the stone paved road and looked at him indifferently. Then, she nodded, opened the door of the back seat of the car unceremoniously and sat in it.

The car drove slowly on the road again.

After Mo Zhu got into the car, she did not take the initiative to speak. She was not someone who would easily start catching up on old times.

When the man in the driver’s seat saw that the girl in the backseat had already started typing on her phone, he couldn’t help but say, “J-god after our last goodbye in the arena, I wonder if I’ll have the chance to see you play another team competition. Will you still compete in the future?”

Mo Zhu’s hand on her phone casually paused for a moment, but she did not look up. “If everything goes according to plan, I don’t think so.”

After receiving the girl’s negative answer, Yuan Cheng, who had been distracted staring at Mo Zhu through the rearview mirror, instantly lowered his head, “I thought that I would have the luck to see God J’s ‘Triple consecutive flips’ technique again in my lifetime. I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t have the chance…”

“Don’t say that. If you want to watch it, I can demonstrate it to you again when you play with me. It’s not anything difficult!” Mo Zhu said very generously. This was just a simple matter to her.

Yuan Cheng stole a glance at Mo Zhu and was so happy that he almost couldn’t hold the steering wheel. “Really? J-god, after I finish this competition in Cloud City and return to the capital, I’ll contact you for a round!”

Mo Zhu nodded nonchalantly. It’s considered that she had agreed to the man’s request.

Everyone knew that “triple round flips” was Essence Soul’s famous ultimate technique in the eSports scene. He always took the opponents by surprise and he would be able to kill five people instantly, but they didn’t know that he had learnt this ultimate technique from J-god, Mo Zhu.

Mo Zhu was one of his teammates in the M City team match that made Essence Soul famous at one go. At that time, the five members of the team were all young and vigorous and all of them wanted to play the key center position. Mo Zhu was the only one who was not interested in the assignment of positions.

Using the excuse that a girl’s hand speed and brain power were not as sensitive as a boy’s, they assigned her the position of a roaming support. Unexpectedly, not only did Mo Zhu have no complaints, she even played all the roaming heroes amazingly well.

Originally, Yuan Cheng had thought that it was only because she had some talent in this position, but he had inadvertently watched a round where Mo Zhu played in the center position. However, when the girl directly showed off her top-notch skills in maneuvering the ‘Three consecutive flips’ technique in front of him, he instantly decided to become her disciple there and then.

Mo Zhu was also not a petty person. She immediately agreed and taught him. In that team competition, Mo Zhu and his chemistry was flawless. Even today, when the entire eSports circle discussed that game, they agreed that they were unrivaled.

At that time, Yuan Cheng’s limelight could be said to be unparalleled. He was respectfully addressed as “Essence Soul” by the fans, while Mo Zhu kept a low profile. Not only did she choose to not reveal herself during the competition, but even her name was simply labeled as “J”.

Hence, in the entire eSports scene now, other than the four members of the team back then and the coach who had not appeared for a long time, almost no one knew what the Almighty J looked like.

The car sped all the way and soon arrived at the main entrance of the ticketing counter. Yuan Cheng picked up his cap and put it on his head. He turned to Mo Zhu and said, “J-god, come in with me. It’s more convenient this way.”

“It’s alright, I don’t want to attract unnecessary trouble if I’m seen. I’ve brought my tickets, it’s more convenient for us to go our own ways.”

Mo Zhu expressionlessly rejected Yuan Cheng’s suggestion. She casually reached into her coat pocket, violently searched for the ticket and took it out.

Noticing that Yuan Cheng did not move, Mo Zhu lowered her head and tidied up her clothes before saying, “Are you leaving first or am I?”

The man had already expected Mo Zhu’s answer. He disappointedly opened the car door. “I’ll just go first. Many of the staff have seen this car before. Since you are unwilling to show your face, wait a few minutes after I enter before coming out of the car.”

Yuan Cheng got out of the car with familiarity and ease. He carefully checked the surroundings and did not see any familiar faces.. Then, through the car window, he nodded slightly to Mo Zhu who was in the back seat and turned around to walk towards the entrance.
