Chapter 475: Chapter 474: Lu Mian, Would You Like to Give It a Try?
Ning Qun shook his head, it seemed that today’s matter could not be settled amicably.
Where had Peng Jun found such a person?
Why couldn’t they ever come across such good fortune?
Because of Ning Xiang’s defeat, all the members of the team clearly saw the strength of their opponent, and for a while, none dared to underestimate the little loli girl anymore.
In such a situation, who would dare step up to challenge her?
Cheng Feng clenched his teeth, “I didn’t expect the opponent to have such a powerful member.
If we encounter this Lucy in a future competition, wouldn’t we be wiped out?”
“We wouldn’t necessarily be wiped out, as long as we have the captain with us, we still stand strong, but…
the captain has just been wagered away.”
At his words, everyone started to panic a bit.
Just as Ning Qun had said before, Yun Sang was the backbone of the team and the oldest.
Even though he usually seemed somewhat irreverent and careless,
when it came to actual competition, he was more serious than anyone and exerted more effort than anyone else.
If he chose to retire, Ning Qun truly didn’t know who to rely on to fill his shoes.
Moreover, how many people like Yun Sang could there be in this world?
Qimo!” Cheng Feng suddenly called out.
Ning Qun was stunned, falling deep into thought at that mention of Mr.
If it was Xiao Qimo, he was indeed somewhat better than Yun Sang.
It’s just that his attention wasn’t on CTF at the moment, and it was difficult to say whether they would even see him in a match in the future.
Now, to have him here in the hotel, practicing with the team, was already something beyond his wildest dreams.
Ning Qun was truly worried.
This challenge had already been lost.
According to what Ning Xiang had said, Yun Sang was supposed to announce his non-participation in the next year’s competition.
But promises were too beautiful because they were too youthful.
The Shadow Hunting Team had been severely hit.
Ning Xiang, who had previously been regarded with great hope, was also greatly struck and sat in the corner, while Yun Sang himself needed to transition and became reticent.
As for Lucy, she never took Ning Xiang’s words to heart and said in an extremely sweet and cute voice, “It’s okay, you guys keep going.
I can take on five alone, no problem.”
The words coming sweetly from her mouth, in such an adorable tone, yet the content was so irritating that it made you want to hit someone, but she was so kawaii that it left you both angry and anxious.
They had reason to believe that she was definitely a darling with a huge gap moe effect.
In real life, she was a particularly cute girl, but in the online world, she was definitely a very brutal beast.
Cheng Feng, Xun Xiaoran, and a few others looked at each other, each sizing up their chances of victory.
If they continued to differentiate between genders now, they would truly lose their captain.
But after summing things up, they still couldn’t find a way to dismantle their opponent, and no one wanted to step forward to issue a challenge.
Winning was all well and good, but losing was a matter of life and death for Yun Sang, so none dared to take the gamble.
“How about we let Mr.
Qimo, we’ll surely stand a chance,” Cheng Feng timidly suggested.
Yun Sang thought the same.
If worse came to worst, they would have Xiao Qimo step in; his ability was undeniable.
However, when all the team’s hopes fell upon Xiao Qimo, the man casually diverted his gaze, looking towards the demure girl beside him, and slowly, gently asked, “Would you like to give it a try?”
As soon as he spoke, Ning Xiang on the other side immediately erupted in agitation.
“Brother Qi, you’ve gone mad!
Even if I lost, you can’t just give up on yourself!
I let everyone down by losing the match, but this concerns Yun Sang’s fate.
How can you let someone who knows nothing take over!”
After finishing her outburst, she added another sentence, “Lu Mian, I’m pretty direct when I talk, so don’t take it to heart, okay?
I don’t get all those twists and turns of you girls, I just say what I mean.”
In the eyes of these people, Lu Mian had never shown her programming talent, and they had never seen her take action, which automatically made her someone who was perceived to know nothing.
And even if she did know a little, even if she had wanted to join the team before, what about now?
Now, even Ning Xiang couldn’t withstand the pressure; how could Lu Mian possibly turn the tide?
It was simply a joke.
Ning Xiang was the first to express his stance, and Ning Qun followed suit, saying, “Mr.
Qimo, please reconsider.
This matter is indeed crucial right now.
Let’s not put the pressure on Miss Lu.”
However, Xiao Qimo didn’t listen to their opinions; the only opinion he wanted was Lu Mian’s.
But Lu Mian remained calm and placid.
The fact that so many people were preventing her from taking the stage didn’t bother her; after all, everyone was looking out for the team, which was understandable given their good intentions.
However, at this moment, as she watched Lucy on the other side, she became somewhat interested.
She really wanted to see just how deep the girl’s skills were.
For Xiao Qimo’s sake, if there was a chance, she might as well help probe the opponent’s capabilities, providing some reference data for her teammates.
With those thoughts, Lu Mian gave a slight nod, signaling her willingness to take up the challenge.
Xiao Qimo smiled; this answer was expected and didn’t surprise him.
Yun Sang looked deeply at Lu Mian, furrowing his brows as he kept recalling recent events.
However, when he confirmed that Lu Mian would play, his doubts slowly started to clear.
Seeing that Lu Mian had truly agreed to take on the challenge, everyone became insistent, rushing over to dissuade her.
“Lu Mian, you must stay calm, think it over again,” they urged.
“We’re not saying you can’t use computers, but if you lose, everyone might blame youaEUR|” Cheng Feng’s words were sincere.
“Next year’s competition is critical for Captain Yun Sang; have some pity on him.”
Everyone became cautious; Peng Jun didn’t care about these matters.
After all, the female player he had chosen was undoubtedly strong.
No matter how much the other team stirred things up, he was definitely winning this bet today.
Peng Jun wasn’t worried about the outcome; he was even leisurely enough to pat Lucy’s shoulder and bragged, “Go easy on them, save them some face.”
Then he walked to the sofa and sat down by himself.
In the end, it was settled that Lu Mian would take on this challenge; once Mr.
Qimo had spoken, no one dared to disobey.
They simply broke out in a cold sweat for Lu Mian internally and hoped she wouldn’t lose too badly; otherwise, the third person would have no hope left at all.
Lu Mian chose her usual laptop, which was Xiao Qimo’s.
After she went downstairs and finished setting up, Lucy was already quietly waiting on the other side.
They shook hands and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Lucy shyly said, “Hello, my name is Lucy, and I’ve been studying this field for 5 years.”
Five years to nurture such a high-caliber cybersecurity member was precious for any team.
Lu Mian nodded, “My name is Lu Mian.”
She had nothing else to say; her self-introductions were always simple.
