Chapter 151: If I Have the Ability, Why Should I Be Modest?
For the entire morning, many players only cared about watching the battle.
Everyone watched with astonished expressions.
“D*mn! [Bai Ling] is so powerful to be evenly matched in a PK with [Linebarrel]!”
“After watching their PK for the entire morning, I suddenly wonder if [Bai Ling] is the number two ranked player [Chimimōryō].”
“How is that possible? I’m familiar with the operations of [Chimimōryō]. They’re completely different from those of [Bai Ling].”
“Am I the only one who thought of the possibility that [Bai Ling] could be the number one ranked player, [Y]?”
…
When this comment was published, the world channel actually fell silent for a few seconds.
Following that, everyone started to comment.
“How is that possible? [Y] has always been elusive. If it weren’t for the competition, he wouldn’t even bother PKing with others.”
“That’s right. I don’t believe [Bai Ling] is [Y].”
“If they’re not the number one or the number two ranked player, then who else has the ability to PK with [Linebarrel] without losing?”
“The finals are coming up soon. During the finals, all the contestants will have to go to the ‘Battle of Lightyears’ gaming company building for the competition. Wouldn’t everyone know who it is when the competition is broadcast live?”
“Yes, yes, yes. Other than [Y], the rest of the top ten players have real-life photos on the expert rankings of ‘Battle of Lightyears.’ We’ll know who exactly [Bai Ling] is when the time comes.”
Everyone was looking forward to the grand finals.
After Chu Luo and [Linebarrel] ended their PK, they chatted privately.
[Linebarrel]: “Your operation is even better than yesterday. I’m really tempted to suspect that the person sitting opposite the computer has changed. But because the operation method is the same, I have to admit that it’s you.”
[Linebarrel]: “Can you tell me how you managed to improve so much in such a short time?”
Chu Luo remembered that she had been upset all along today, so she’d brought her emotions into the game. That was why she’d improved so much in the PK.
However, she definitely wouldn’t say anything about that. She just said: “I become stronger when I meet strong opponents. Even if I were to PK with [Y], I would still defeat him.”
The other party immediately sent several smiling emoticons.
[Linebarrel]: “Many people look forward to seeing your true appearance. I’m looking forward to it too. You are a very strong opponent. In reality, you must be a very strong person.”
[Bai Ling]: “Of course.”
[Linebarrel]: “Haha… Looks like Bai is a very confident person too.”
[Bai Ling]: “If I have the ability, why should I be humble?”
[Linebarrel]: “I can’t say anything to that.”
The two of them chatted for a while before going offline to eat.
At around ten o’clock, Tang Zhiyun called in the cooking housekeeper to order food. Chu Luo didn’t care about it at the time. But when she saw that there was at least half a table of dishes and soup made from red dates and wolfberry, Chu Luo finally realized that something was wrong and asked, “Why are the dishes like this today?”
“Don’t you like them?” Tang Zhiyun looked troubled. “I looked it up on the Internet and found out that girls on their period need to replenish their blood.”
Chu Luo: “…”
Chu Luo stared at them, making the boys feel embarrassed.
Chu Luo said to them sternly, “My period didn’t come. Also… why are you boys paying attention to this? Aren’t you embarrassed?!”
“Why should we be embarrassed?!” Wang Mingtao gritted his teeth and said, “Coincidentally, Sister Chu, you’re giving us a chance to learn. When we find a girlfriend in the future, we’ll know how to care about her during her period.”
The others quickly nodded in agreement.
Chu Luo: “…” Why did she feel like she had become the guinea pig that they used for experiments?
In the afternoon, Chu Luo had just logged in to the game when she was pulled into a two-person team by [Y].
[Y]: “Let’s go to space for a mission.”
[Bai Ling]: “Okay.”
The two of them went straight to the teleportation array and teleported to the galaxy.
For the entire afternoon, those who had wanted to watch [Bai Ling]’s PK game had waited at the PK venue. However, they waited until the flowers had wilted, and [Bai Ling] still hadn’t arrived.
Everyone started guessing where [Bai Ling] went.
“Did you notice that [Bai Ling] hasn’t logged into the game for long? The finals will be here soon, but he’d actually go missing for a day or half a day from time to time?”
“Ah, could it be that [Bai Ling] is really [Y]?”
A new round of speculation about whether [Bai Ling] was [Y] began again.
Chu Luo realized that as long as she was doing missions or PKing with experts, time would pass extremely quickly.
The afternoon passed quickly.
At five o’clock.
[Y] said, “Time to eat” and left the game.
The speed was extremely efficient.
Chu Luo had been doing missions with [Y] in the afternoon and was in a good mood. She forgot that fact that she was angry and left the game to eat.
The next day, Chu Luo stayed in the game.
On the third day.
The highly anticipated “Battle of Lightyears” finals had finally arrived.
There were too many people tuning in to this year’s competition. Early on, the gaming and online companies under the Blazing Glory Corporation had already made all kinds of emergency preparations.
From seven in the morning, viewership of the gaming competition had already risen to an astonishing level.
At half-past seven, the staff of the gaming team knocked on Chu Luo’s guest room.
Chu Luo and the others were invited to the gaming company’s car.
Halfway through the journey, a staff member sitting in the front passenger seat suddenly took out a mask and handed it to Chu Luo. “Miss Chu, please put on the mask.”
Chu Luo took the mask and didn’t put it on immediately.
She knew that this must be Li Yan’s idea.
The staff member peeked at Chu Luo through the rearview mirror. Seeing that she wasn’t putting it on, he was a little anxious and said:
“Miss Chu, you’re the only girl who’s entered the finals. When the time comes, it will definitely cause a huge sensation. That’s why the gaming team feels that it’s better for you to maintain a little mystery. This way, it can protect your privacy and also increase your divinity.”
Chu Luo looked up at the staff.
The staff immediately looked away from the rearview mirror sheepishly.
Tang Zhiyun and the others agreed with the staff.
Tang Zhiyun said, “Junior, you are so beautiful that you will definitely cause a huge sensation when you appear in public. Why don’t you put on the mask?”
Xie Mingtao chimed in, “Junior, you’re starting university soon when you go back. What if you meet those brainless fans and they bother you at school?”
Yu Lei and Xu Qingfeng nodded in agreement.
Actually, Chu Luo wasn’t worried about appearing in public, but seeing that Tang Zhiyun and the others meant well, she put on the mask.
Chu Luo was wearing the team uniform that their team had prepared beforehand.
It was a white tracksuit with a golden phoenix spreading its wings on the back.
On the front of the sports attire, there was also a golden Phoenix team emblem.
The mask was also a golden phoenix. Once Chu Luo put it on, her entire atmosphere changed, and she exuded a domineering aura that made people want to worship her.
The boys’ mouths fell open.
After a moment, Yu Lei swallowed his saliva and said, “Junior, your wearing this mask reminds me of an ancient saying… Women are not inferior to men.”
Xie Minghai said, “You don’t say. Junior is beautiful to begin with, and she has a good disposition. When she’s wearing a mask, not only does she become domineering, but she also seems very mysterious. I have a feeling that when Junior appears in the ‘Battle of Lightyears’ gaming building later, it will definitely cause a sensation.”
Xie Minghai’s guess was right.
Many gaming fans and reporters had gathered outside the building of the Blazing Glory Gaming Company.
Ten teams had advanced to the finals. Every time a car carrying a player drove in, the camera lights would flash fiercely. Game fans would scream in excitement.
When the car that had picked up “Phoenix Skies Legend” drove over, the screaming instantly increased by tens of degrees.
All the cameras were pointed at the back door of the car. Be it the live audience or the audience sitting in front of the computer, everyone subconsciously craned their necks and held their breaths.
Just as everyone was feeling nervous and expectant, a few youngsters alighted from the car.
Someone couldn’t help but sigh and make a guess.
“I didn’t expect the team members of ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ to be so good-looking. I wonder which one is [Bai Ling]?”
“It’s possible that he’s the one who got off first. That man looks like he has good taste.”
“I think they’re the fourth man who got off the car. I can tell at a glance that he’s a man of few words, but he’s really good-looking.”
“[Bai Ling] is a PK demon. How can they be these two? I think they’re one of the two who’d alighted in the middle.”
“Doesn’t a team have five members? I don’t think they’re any of those four who’d alighted first. [Bai Ling] must be at the back.”
Many people immediately agreed with this.
Everyone craned their necks and stared at the car door.
Their hearts skipped a beat.
“What does [Bai Ling] look like? Is it a smurf account?”
This was what everyone wanted to know.
After Tang Zhiyun and the others got off the car, they turned around and waited for Chu Luo to get off.
Xie Minghai chuckled and said, “Junior, you have to be mentally prepared. There are a lot of spectators today. If the security guards can’t hold them back anymore, run into the building. We’ll cover your retreat.”
Chu Luo glanced out of the window and got out of the car without worry.
When she alighted from the car, the entire world seemed to have fallen silent.
The eyeballs of everyone who’d craned their necks nearly fell out.
Seeing this, Tang Zhiyun said in a low voice, “Let’s go.”
They entered before anyone could react.
Once Chu Luo had reached the entrance of the game company surrounded by four boys, there was a sudden commotion behind her.
“Heavens, am I seeing things? The last person to come down is a girl!!!”
“If there isn’t something wrong with my eyes, then the world is a fantasy.”
“I don’t believe it. How can a girl play the game so awesomely in ‘Battle of Lightyears’?”
“I don’t believe it either. Maybe that girl is their manager.”
“Why is that girl wearing a mask? But her aura is so strong. When she alighted from the car just now, I thought that she was some country’s princess.”
“I don’t believe that she is a member of ‘Phoenix Skies Legend.’”
“I don’t believe it either!”
