Meng Xue had a number of male fans who were attracted to her gaming skills.
Of course, in the grand scheme of things, Meng Xue’s gaming abilities wouldn’t rank among the best in the country.
But for a female celebrity to reach the Starlight tier in the competitive arena was impressive enough.
Her good looks also drew in quite a few male admirers, including Chi Yu.
Chi Yu frowned, “With Meng Xue here, any effort from you would be in vain. Don’t waste your time.”
Although he had teamed up with Si Fuqing for a dungeon before, where she earned the MVP and showed significant improvement in her gaming skills, competing against Meng Xue seemed like a sure way to humiliation.
Meng Xue had even been invited by the “Oracle” team to participate in this year’s domestic celebrity league, a privilege not afforded to just anyone.
[Is Chi Yu lacking in social skills? What business is it of yours if Si Fuqing is consoling Ning Luoyao? Can’t you keep quiet?]
[You think my wife is weak? My wife can beat all of you!]
[My impression of Chi Yu plummeted after the Starry Star Girls and D6 promotional shoot, and now it’s completely gone.]
[Chi Yu is just straightforward; he means no harm. He’s close with Meng Xue, so naturally, he sides with her. As for Si Fuqing and Meng Xue… well, those who understand, understand.]
Si Fuqing turned to him, her fox-like eyes curving into a smile, “Look at your logic, straight from the gut to the brain, huh?”
[???Haha, well-said!]
[I’d pay for a course on how to retort without swearing, taught by Si Fuqing!]
[I always freeze up when someone says something about me. I envy Si Fuqing’s quick wit.]
Chi Yu took a deep breath, about to retort, but Si Fuqing had already turned away, chatting with Ning Luoyao and ignoring him.
“Alright, let’s start our match,” the assistant director clapped his hands. “Who’s going first?”
“I’ll go,” Yuan Heping volunteered. ‘Meng Xue, you’ve got good gaming skills.
Show us what vou’ve got.”
Meng Xue humbly responded, “I still have much to learn from Teacher Yuan.”
“Not at all. I’m just at the Diamond tier,” Yuan Heping sat down at the computer. “You’re Starlight; I’ve never reached that.”
Despite his fit physique at sixty, Yuan Heping’s reflexes had dulled with age. Meng Xue played an assassin, while he chose a blademaster.
In a few minutes, the assassin had the blademaster soundly defeated. Meng Xue smiled, “Thank you for the game, Teacher Yuan.”
“Ah, I’m getting old,” he sighed. “Can’t keep up with you youngsters.” [Meng Xue’s assassin skills are impressive. Not just for show. I’m a fan now.]
[The assassin is one of the most difficult classes to play well, and Meng Xue nails it.]
Next up were Chi Yu and Xu Jiannian, facing Meng Xue. Chi Yu chose to forfeit.
[Chi Yu must really be a devoted fan of Meng Xue. If he weren’t so obviously straight, I’d think he had a crush on her.]
[Meng Xue is off-limits. No ships, nothing.]
Xu Jiannian, also at the Starlight tier, excelled as a swordsman.
“Teacher Xu,” Meng Xue nodded politely. “I’m starting now.”
The second game lasted longer, but Meng Xue still emerged victorious.
Xu Jiannian looked at Meng Xue with newfound respect, he was not stingy with his compliment, “Teacher Meng is very skilled.”
Meng Xue replied modestly, “In other areas, Teacher Xu, you’re my senior. I have much to learn from you. Please guide me if we meet on set in the future.”
She aimed high in the entertainment industry, and Xu Jiannian, a top actor, was someone she wanted to connect with.
Finally, Meng Xue turned to Si Fuqing, “Your turn, who’s playing?”
Si Fuqing looked at Xu Jiannian still seated at the computer, “Please, make room. ”
Xu Jiannian apologized with a smile, “Teacher Si, be careful. Teacher Meng is quite formidable.”
Meng Xue didn’t miss Xu Jiannian’s overly attentive manner towards Si Fuqing and frowned slightly.
Si Fuqing’s attractiveness was indeed a powerful asset, swaying many men. Si Fuqing sat down, leaning back casually , her hands loosely on the keyboard, “Let’s begin.”
Both entered the competitive arena.
Meng Xue was at the Starlight tier.
Si Fuqing, on the other hand, was at the Bronze I tier, her profile starkly empty.
Qi Shuning asked in confusion, “Is there a big difference between Bronze and
Starlight?”
“A world apart,” Chi Yu replied. “It’s like heaven and earth, incomparable..”
