Chapter 485: Chapter 484: It’s Not That You’re Weak, It’s That Lu Mian Is Too Strong Chapter 485: Chapter 484: It’s Not That You’re Weak, It’s That Lu Mian Is Too Strong When she said this, she did so with nonchalance, yet it infuriated Ning Xiang.
Ning Xiang had long known that Lu Mian was a schemer with many tricks up her sleeve.
What did she mean by saying this now?
Wasn’t she just bragging about her good relationship with Mr.
What was there to show off?
If she really had the ability, let Mr.
Qimo take her back to the Xiao Family and see if they accepted her!
After Lu Mian finished speaking, everyone on the team assumed the whole thing had been orchestrated by Xiao Qimo.
Qimo who’s amazing, hacking the opponent’s server as soon as he made a move, and even snagging so much dirt on them.
You can’t help but admire him!”
“I was worried about this just yesterday!
Sure enough, as long as Mr.
Qimo is around, nothing is a problem!”
“Just look at Lu Mian’s skills, you’ll know how awesome Mr.
Qimo is, I also really want Mr.
Qimo to give me some guidance!”
“Actually…” someone said softly, “compared to having Mr.
Qimo teach us, I’m more looking forward to Mr.
Qimo and Lu Mian joining forces to battle against the 1515 Team!”
The eyes of the team members all shone brightly with excitement; they loved the idea!
Thus, with expectant gazes, they all turned their attention “swish swish swish” to Lu Mian.
In the training room of the 1515 Team.
The new captain Huan Yan looked at his computer with a sullen expression, unable to calm down from his frustration.
Upon learning that their coach’s challenge against the Shadow Hunting Team had failed yesterday, he had already planned to release the dirt they’d gathered, firmly believing that it would oppress the Shadow Hunting Team like never before.
But before he could take any action, his computer was hacked in the next second, and the contents inside were destroyed on the spot, leaving his computer unusable even now.
This was an absolute humiliation for him.
Now not only was the Shadow Hunting Team laughing at him, but even his own team members were snickering behind his back.
At that moment, Lucy came over with a bottle of Sprite and handed it to him.
Seeing him so indignant, she sweetly consoled, “Captain, don’t rush yourself.
The Penguin Wildcard competition will start soon after the new year, and it’s not too late to make a move then.”
The Penguin Wildcard competition was a CTF competition authorized by DEFCONCTF to be held in Z Country, akin to a competition sub-venue.
Since it was hosted by Penguin Corporation, it was also known as the Penguin Wildcard competition.
Teams from Z Country could only qualify to go to Las Vegas for the finals if they won the championship at the Wildcard competition.
Huan Yan took the Sprite without opening it, just gripping the can violently, his gaze growing darker.
“You failed in your challenge against them, couldn’t force Sniper to play, and now it’s going to be difficult to ensure that their old team captain plays…”
This was also a matter of great concern to Huan Yan.
He wanted to challenge Xiao Qimo.
Lucy hung her head, guilt-ridden, “I’m sorry, Captain, I was too weak.”
Huan Yan shook his head, “It’s not your fault; it’s that Lu Mian is too strong.
If I get the chance, I’d actually like to meet this person…”
His eyes flickered subtly, carrying a complexity others couldn’t understand.
On this side, Lu Mian, in the end, did not agree to the requests of those young men.
Everyone covered their chests, looking quite heartbroken.
She’s so talented; it would truly be a pity if she didn’t compete.
Of course, if these people knew that Lu Mian had once applied to join the Shadow Hunting Team and had been rejected, they would probably feel even more heartbroken.
In the end, it was Xun Xiaoran who was more rational.
When he looked at Lu Mian now, he didn’t dare to treat her with the same attitude as before and asked very gently and sincerely, “Lu Mian, after your battle with that Lucy yesterday, do you have any experience you can share with us?
After the New Year, we’re going to participate in the wildcard match, and if we run into her on the battlefield, I imagine it’s going to be tough.”
At this, Lu Mian nodded, “I’ll send you all a strategy post detailing Lucy’s fighting style and strategy for you to study on your own.”
After Lu Mian finished speaking, she efficiently sent a strategy post to each of their computers.
Someone who couldn’t wait took a quick look and exclaimed, “Lu Mian, you’re really awesome.”
“The Shadow Hunting Team is really lucky to have you, otherwise we wouldn’t have known what to do.”
“Yes, yes, you’ve been a huge help, not only training with us but also striking against our opponents.
Without you, we would surely have lost!”
Qimo to back us up, the other side would surely mock us.”
“Winning would be inglorious, and losing even more so.
Only you led us to perfectly resolve this issue.”
Hearing the colorful flattery from the team members, Ning Xiang, standing nearby, was cursing Lu Mian under her breath.
She was the first to compete and had suffered a disadvantage.
She had helped suss out Lucy’s weaknesses and maintained the team’s reputation.
Why wasn’t she credited for her contributions?
Now it all became Lu Mian’s achievement!
It was possible that during her match with the opponent, her brother had found the opponent’s flaw, which allowed Lu Mian to turn defeat into victory.
She scoffed quietly, clutching that so-called group photo and left the training room.
Not a single person noticed her; everyone was quite excited.
“By the way, we’re on holiday tomorrow!
Let’s have dinner together, and a drink too!”
As the New Year approached, the team members also got a few days off, and some couldn’t wait to eat and drink.
Naturally, Lu Mian did not agree.
Her circle was so small that she could only allocate her limited time to those she considered important.
“You go ahead, I won’t join,” she refused.
Don’t worry, we won’t force you to drink!
Just a few sips will do!”
Ye Jinwen, who did not know when he had come back, appeared dejected, but when he heard they were inviting Lu Mian to eat and drink, he promptly reminded them, “I advise you all not to do this.”
The crowd was clueless, “Why, wealthy backer?”
Without giving a reason and with lots on his mind, Ye Jinwen walked away.
Watching his retreating figure, the crowd started to mutter quietly.
“The big boss is so strict.
The day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, we’re already on holiday, and he still won’t let us rest a bit…”
“Trash boss, ruining my fun!”
Lu Mian silently watched Ye Jinwen’s desolate figure and had a rough idea of what was on his mind.
She turned back and coldly reprimanded the many members.
“Are you all ready for the wildcard match?”
All the team members immediately looked dejected and gradually returned to their computers.
They realized that Lu Mian seemed to be quite protective of the big boss…
When Ye Jinwen came back, he went looking for Xiao Qimo.
Xiao Qimo was on the phone, gesturing for him to wait a moment.
Ye Jinwen heard him intermittently saying, “Okay, I’ll be there.
But don’t forget the thing you promised me.”
