Chapter 507: Liangchuan is Zi Chuan! (7)
There were thousands among the audience.
The venue was throbbing with loud music, which added to the excitement of the event.
All of this and, all of a sudden, she came to full realization:
They were in a match.
How could she be thinking of other things during a match, and not focusing on the game at hand?
Qiao Lian took a deep breath and spoke after a moment, “Okay. I get it.”
Then she channeled her full attention on the computer screen and placed her hands on the keyboard and mouse.
She had thought that she would be unfamiliar with the settings and fall behind the other team members, after eight years of not playing computer games seriously.
However, the moment her finger touched the mouse, an old feeling of familiarity took root within her.
She stared at her fingers, they felt like they were on fire. And it was a fire that raged all the way from the tips of her fingers, right to the core of her heart.
Qiao Lian took another deep breath and concentrated intently on the computer screen.
Then, she began to maneuver.
Computer games were different from mobile games.
Mobile games were easy to pick up and get good at.
Computer games, however, required a lot more training.
Hence, Qiao Lian was a little nervous to start off.
But as her spirit made connection with the keyboard and the mouse, they slowly integrated… until they became one.
It took five minutes before her maneuvering stabilized and she started to gain full control.
Just as she was getting into the flow of things, the enemy team suddenly called for a break.
Surprised, everyone looked up with a puzzled expression.
They saw that the enemy team members were also staring blankly, confused. Only the coach got up and left. After he left, a familiar figure got up from among the audience and followed the coach.
That was… Purple Fairy.
Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes.
She stood up and said, “I’m going to the washroom.”
Then she strode off in their direction.
Walking out of the competition venue, Qiao Lian could see at once that Purple Fairy and the coach of the enemy team were talking in low voices.
Qiao Lian looked around. There was a flower terrace by the side, and there was a space beyond the terrace where she could hide.
Quietly, she sneaked over to the hiding spot.
There she was able to hear what the two were saying.
Purple Fairy spoke, “Coach Li, actually it’s not hard for you to win this match. I can give you a piece of advice.”
Coach Li was surprised by her suggestion. “What sort of advice?”
After all, whoever lost this match was going to be eliminated.
Purple Fairy smiled and said, “If I gave you a tip, what would you offer in return?”
Coach Li paused for a moment and then asked, “What do you want?”
“Well, if we happen to play against each other in the next match, I hope you will give us a one-round advantage.”
Coach Li’s expression darkened when he heard this and gave a cold laugh immediately. “I’m sorry, we are here to have a fair match. If Coach Purple Fairy wishes to exchange technical knowledge, I’m more than happy. But if it’s what you’ve mentioned, then I have no wish to pursue it. It’s okay if our team loses.”
After these words, he turned away.
Purple Fairy looked most offended and hurriedly stopped him. “You- Okay, fine. I’ll tell you. Two key players from CQ Team are not competing today and they’ve been replaced at last minute’s notice. One of them is a female player named Forget Chuan. She’s not a professional gamer… She was likely forced to be a backup. If you want to break through the team’s defences, then you can probably start with her.”
Coach Li gave Purple Fairy one look, then turned and walked back to the competition arena.
Purple Fairy frowned as Coach Li disappeared from her sight. At this point, she suddenly heard a sneer. “Tsk-tsk.”
Surprised, Purple Fairy spun around.
