Chapter 54 - A Match

After settling Jiang Yu’s matter, Mo Zhu took Huo Xuan’s car and returned to school.

She had made it in time for the last class of the morning. She walked to the door of Class Eight with familiarity and pushed it open. After shouting “report” lightly, Mo Zhu returned to her seat.

The girl raised her head and took a glance at Meng Ran. The young lady was sitting upright and serious as she took out an exercise book from the drawer. Then, she opened it widely and stood it on the table. She buried her face behind the book and asked in a low voice.

“Sister Mo, has everything been settled? Has Xiao Yu gone home to rest?”

Mo Zhu leaned lazily against the back of the chair and nodded slightly without any expression. “Yes, this won’t happen again.”

“Phew…” Meng Ran opened her eyes wide and heaved a long sigh of relief. She felt relieved now.

Just as she placed the exercise book down, she seemed to have recalled something and she looked at Mo Zhu in surprise. “Sister Mo, didn’t you just transfer to Jingyang? How did you and Xiao Yu meet? I haven’t heard you mention that you have good friends in school…”

Mo Zhu smiled and glanced at Meng Ran. “Jiang Yu and I used to live in a huge courtyard in Qingyuan Village. However, we separated because of something and she came to Cloud City a few years earlier than me.”

Meng Ran had a look of understanding on her face. So, Xiao Yu and Sister Mo had been good friends for a long time. If Xiao Yu had known that Sister Mo had come to Jingyang High School, Sister Mo would have definitely protected her. Then, she would not have had to suffer so much!

Meng Ran sighed unhurriedly. She was just about to find out more about the situation from Mo Zhu, but when she turned around, she saw that Big Boss Mo was already sleeping lazily on the table.

The girl shook her head. The difference between her and the big shot was indeed huge. She did not know how long she would need to cultivate to catch up to Sister Mo’s level.

Class passed very quickly. This was Li Xiao’s class. He had timed it well and announced the news of the upcoming monthly exam in two days before the bell rang.

The students who had already packed their textbooks and were about to rush to the canteen happily suddenly felt dispirited again. They all started to protest.

“What? The tests have just passed for a few days and now the examinations are taking place again. They really don’t allow us to relax!”

“Exactly, I’ve been revising and solving questions every day. I’m already at the point where I feel like throwing up when I see the textbooks!”

Compared to the complaints of the students around her, Meng Ran was considered calm. After all, she did quite well revising the knowledge and points taught in each class. To her, the exam was just more questions to be solved.

After putting away the books on the table, she proficiently poked the sleeping Mo Zhu with her elbow and said, “Sister Mo, class has ended. Let’s eat together.”

The girl sleeping on the table who hadn’t had enough of it rubbed her sleepy eyes and stretched lazily. “Class is over? Let’s go.”

When she arrived at the canteen, Mo Zhu looked at the dishes today. As there was nothing she disliked, she casually ordered a meal and found a seat.

Not long later, Mo Zhu’s side was filled with people.

After eating two mouthfuls, Zhang Qi, who was sitting behind their table, poked his head over and said, “Sister Mo, let’s play a game after eating. I didn’t even see how well you played last time!”

Mo Zhu did not answer. She picked up her chopsticks and lowered her head to stuff another mouthful of vegetables into her mouth.

“Sister Mo, Sister Mo, just give it a shot and let the few of us admire your skills. We’ve already lost the ranking competition for a few days. The opponents we matched up against are too amazing. We can’t increase our stars at all!”

Seeing that Mo Zhu did not respond, Zhang Qi rubbed his hands and sounded a little anxious.

These two days, the few of them were considered to be in bad luck. As long as they were in a ranked game, the teammates they matched were either famous experts on the rankings or small teams that had worked together for several years. Their ranks had never gone up, and it had even fallen quite a bit.

If they didn’t have Mo Zhu’s skills to lead them, they probably wouldn’t be able to break this curse.

“Just one game?” Seeing how anxious Zhang Qi was, Mo Zhu took another bite of rice and asked calmly.

Upon hearing that there was a chance, Zhang Qi pressed his palms together. “Just one! Thank you Sister Mo, for being willing to save us!”

Mo Zhu curled her lips without batting an eyelid. “Just one game then.”

After eating and drinking her fill, Mo Zhu put down her chopsticks and waved at the few people who were staring at her and waiting for her to come online. The girl took out her phone and tapped the screen lightly.

When the Magic Essence interface appeared, Meng Ran, who was sitting opposite Mo Zhu, could not hold back anymore. She did not even bother to eat before she turned around and sat beside Mo Zhu.

Who did not like to watch the competition between big shots when they were playing, especially when it was Big Boss Mo? Others might not know, but Meng Ran knew very well that the famous Almighty J in the eSports world was showing off her skills in front of her. That was not something anyone could watch just because they wanted to!

Once Mo Zhu went online, she was invited into a five-person ranked match by Zhang Qi.

As the few of them were sitting together, they did not turn on the voice chat in the game. Everyone naturally started talking about the heroes they wanted to choose.

“Sister Mo, you can play whichever position and hero you want. It seems like we are the ones to choose the heroes this round first. You can just choose your position and hero.”

Zhang Qi looked at the game interface and said to Mo Zhu excitedly.
