Chapter 436: So It Was Her! (6)
“You’ve trained so hard for almost a month and now, just when you’re about to fight, you wish to leave?”
“Su Penghao, you are a warrior of sorts. I’ve only heard of warriors that die on the battlefield—I’ve never heard of those that run away!”
“Or does it mean that without the formation, you have no confidence in your own strength? Yes, teamwork is very important in an eSports competition, but the individuals’ ability can also crush everything else!”
As Su Penghao listened to her words, there was a certain clarity that came to him. The redness in his bloodshot eyes gradually faded away.
Qiao Lian continued to look at him. “For sure, I will get to the bottom of this information leak. I will find an explanation for you. But right now, do you have the guts to get up there and finish what you’ve come here to do?”
Su Penghao’s jaw tensed up.
The staff members looked at him almost impatiently.
The preliminary competition was not that strict to begin with. If he wanted to leave, they would just kick him out of the competition. Hence they asked him, “Are you guys playing? If not, then please leave quickly and we’ll let the next team play. Let’s not keep other people waiting.”
Qiao Lian looked at Su Penghao anxiously as the staff waited for an answer.
Su Penghao looked at her and after a moment, he looked at the staff and hollered angrily, “What’s the hurry? I’m calling a pause. Can’t I even take a toilet break!”
The staff stared back, flabbergasted.
Qiao Lian was relieved.
Su Penghao eventually did not go to the washroom, but turned around and went back to the competition.
Five towering computers. Right now, they were the team’s only weapons.
He took up his designated seat and, without another glance at Qiao Lian, started the game.
Now that their strategy was no longer useful, the formation they had planned was irrelevant.
Hence in the third round, everyone’s heart was in their mouth.
In this round the enemy team was on the blue side, so it had natural strength and advantage where the playing field was concerned, causing CQ team members considerable pressure.
However, Su Penghao was frighteningly calm and collected.
After he picked his champion, the competition began.
Having had their strategy compromised, the team members of CQ weren’t in the best frame of mind.
The champion Su Penghao would use was the sort of hero that could control the overall situation. The moment it made an entrance, it ran into a face-to-face confrontation with an enemy.
The enemy had very few hp, so it ran away and left.
It wasn’t the right time to start a chase, but he was in a hurry to gain the upperhand so he pursued the opponent.
“Oh no!” Qiao Lian remarked softly.
The next moment, she saw that there were people hidden in the bushes on the side and with one strike, they killed him.
Su Penghao slammed the table loudly and cursed, “Damn it!”
As he was quite exhausted, the team he was leading felt a little lost.
The Godfather and The Deputy Godfather looked up and gave him a glance.
Qiao Lian, on the other hand, was focused on the game interface and she immediately shouted, “The Godfather, come back quickly!”
But alas, he was slightly too late and was caught by four enemies. He too, was slayed.
The game had barely just started and three of them had lost their lives. The situation was pathetic.
Qiao Lian spoke into the microphone, “Hold steady, don’t panic. We can win this round.”
As she said this, Su Penghao spoke up, “You shut up! I’m the one instructing!”
The coach never had as much clarity as the team members during a match.
Hence, in most competitions, it was the team leader who would give fighting instructions.
The coach would normally only intervene and calm the team leader when he got too agitated.
But at this point, it was obvious that Su Penghao had lost control of his own emotions.
Qiao Lian frowned.
Were they going to lose this fight?
