Chapter 926: Chapter 926: I Accept the Gamble and Its Consequences
He Jingyao rubbed her hair: “Not doing anything, just bored.”
Zhixi was speechless. She didn’t believe him. If this man were truly bored, he would definitely spend his time on her, rather than agreeing to a baffling invitation.
However, unable to fathom his intentions, Zhixi could only wait and see.
Zhou Yan’s apartment was a typical tech geek’s place, with a spacious living room filled with several computers and all kinds of miscellaneous electronic equipment.
“You choose first,” Zhou Yan glanced at He Jingyao, his tone full of superiority.
He Jingyao raised an eyebrow and casually pointed to a computer: “That one will do.”
“Okay,” Zhou Yan had no objections, “I’ll give you fifteen minutes to get familiar with the setup and keyboard, then we can start.”
“No need for fifteen minutes, let’s start in five,” He Jingyao smiled lightly.
“Five minutes, then five minutes,” Zhou Yan, provoked by his seemingly indifferent but actually arrogant attitude, was determined to teach him a lesson in the game.
He sat down with a serious expression, found a laptop, turned it on, adjusted the keyboard, his movements fluid and swift.
Xiaoke sat excitedly beside him.
Zhixi also sat down with He Jingyao, watching as he opened the computer, clicked on the game interface, and entered an account with the nickname [27].
She was surprised: “So you’ve actually played this game before.”
“Impressive, right?” He smiled faintly.
“Very impressive,” Zhixi genuinely praised him.
Soon, the five minutes passed, and the two of them opened a room in the arena, and the battle began.
Zhixi widened her eyes at the screen, watching as skills flew everywhere, unable to tell who had the upper hand.
On the other side, Zhou Yan’s typing became increasingly forceful, and Zhixi had a vague feeling that Xiaozhou was about to suffer again…
A battle between players in the game only lasts a few minutes, and before long, the screen went quiet, with He Jingyao’s hand still on the keyboard.
No one spoke for a moment.
“How about two more matches, two out of three?” He Jingyao sincerely suggested.
“No need!” Zhou Yan abruptly pushed the keyboard away and stood up, glaring at him fiercely, “I lost… but I’m not a sore loser! Say it, what do you want me to do?”
“Oh, actually, I was just lucky, since I haven’t played this game in over ten years, not familiar with many skills,” He Jingyao’s humility was off the charts.
Zhixi couldn’t help but laugh; this guy was too wicked. The more he said such things, the worse Zhou Yan must have felt.
He considered himself a game master, yet got casually beaten by someone like He Jingyao, who hadn’t played in over ten years. Where could he place his face?
Especially since there was an admirer sitting next to him.
Zhou Yan’s face grew uglier, his jaw clenched tight: “Cut the crap, I’ll accept the loss!”
“Alright then,” He Jingyao thought for a moment and smiled at him, “You seem to be… quite a skilled hacker?”
The boy was stunned: “How do you know?”
On the surface, he lived off gaming as a master, but secretly, he was actually a very skilled hacker, though this identity was unknown, even to Xiaoke, who’d just become his girlfriend.
The girl, Xiaoke, indeed looked shocked.
“That’s not important,” He Jingyao curved his lips, “What’s important is, I need you to do me a favor.” Follow current novels on NoveI[F]ire.net
