Chapter 237 - Wanting to Let Them Retire in Glory

nXue Xi had always been a quick learner. After studying it twice, she’d already grasped Xiao Kai’s combo.
nShe looked at her computer screen and moved forward.
nXue Xi seemed to have predicted Xiao Kai’s combo and dodged it perfectly.
n
n
nXiao Kai grew even angrier. “Are you hiding again? Do you intend to fight at all?”
nXiao Kai rushed forward and became more and more irritable.
nXue Xi, who was in the game, turned around and said coldly, “Fight!”
nXiao Kai had just handed in his skills and was currently in an empty slot. Xue Xi suddenly turned around and appeared behind him in a flash, startling him.
n
n
nImmediately, Xue Xi shot a huge blow at his face!
nHer fingers quickly typed on the keyboard a few times. Her hand speed was faster than it previously was, and her skills were more accurate than before…
nShe blocked Xiao Kai’s path and did not give him any chance to escape. This was a perfect counterattack!
nFeng Yan narrowed his eyes as he watched.
n
n
nSister Xi’s actions reminded him of the X that dominated the gaming world back then. Just because Feng Yan was called the Demon King, it didn’t mean that he was the best. It was only that X was not interested in playing eSports. If he were to enter this profession…
nFeng Yan lifted his head and shot a glance at Xiang Huai, who was casually sitting by the side and staring at Xue Xi. He then silently retracted his gaze.
nAt this moment, the game’s kill announcement sounded!
nXH, Xiao Kai killed XH, Learn!
nFeng Yan paused, thinking that he had seen wrongly.
nEven Xue Xi widened her eyes in shock.
n
n
nWhat was going on?
nWhy did her character in the game not move the moment she pressed the ultimate move?
nVictory and defeat were usually only moments apart.
nShe did not manage to catch up using this ultimate move, and Xiao Kai was, after all, a professional gamer who killed her with a normal attack the moment she lost her health.
nXue Xi blinked silently, feeling a little… awkward.
nIt should have been her perfect moment, but now…
nOnly then did Feng Yan realize that it had been a long time since anyone had used the random battle station that Xue Xi was in.
nPro players all had their own keyboards and mouse. This keyboard seemed to have been outdated. Moreover, Xue Xi’s hand speed was so fast that the keyboard did not react in time…
n
n
nXiao Kai had made the kill with a move of his wrist. He looked at Xue Xi and laughed proudly. “You could have still survived if you charged into your own tower, but you suddenly appeared behind me. Weren’t you seeking death? Did you flash in the wrong direction?”
nXue Xi: “…”
nWould anyone believe her if she said that she had a keyboard malfunction?
nThe rest did not have any thoughts about the winner of this solo competition, so no one paid attention to the speed at which she was typing. Only Feng Yan, who was constantly watching, saw the show.
nFeng Yan’s lips twitched.
nIf he spoke up for Xue Xi, his teammates would definitely be more resistant to her. The only solution was—
n“One more round.”
nXue Xi did not explain further. After saying this, she looked at Feng Yan. “Do you have a keyboard?”
nThere was an extra unopened keyboard upstairs, but before Feng Yan could speak, Xiang Huai suddenly said, “Yes, I’ve prepared it for you long ago.”
nAfter saying this, someone knocked on the door. The club’s auntie asked, “Who is it?”
n“Delivery.”
nThe auntie took the express delivery and said, “Express delivery for Xue Xi. Delivery boys nowadays are really good-looking and have a special aura. It’s a pity that such a person didn’t become a celebrity.”
nAt the same time, Xiang Huai’s phone vibrated. Lu Chao sent a WeChat message: “Boss, it’s fine that you asked me to send a keyboard, but why can’t you even let me in? I haven’t seen Sister Xi in a long time, so why don’t you let me see her?”
n
n
nXiang Huai shot a glance at it. When Xue Xi opened the parcel, he slowly replied: “This is my little kid. What does it have to do with you?”
nLu Chao: “?”
nWhy didn’t he say that when he asked him to deliver the keyboard?!
n“So beautiful!”
nXue Xi opened the parcel and saw a cherry-colored keyboard. The keyboard design was small and beautiful and was very suitable for her to use.
nXue Xi looked at the appearance, but Feng Yan instantly recognized that this was a custom-made keyboard from a well-known company in the country.
nThis keyboard was more sensitive than the mechanical keyboards on the market. In the entire XH, only he was willing to spend a huge sum to customize a keyboard.
nFeng Yan glanced at Xiang Huai and saw the cold and heartless General Xiang saying in a tender tone, “As long as you like it.”
nXue Xi: “… I do.”
nShe picked up the keyboard and was about to plug it into the computer when she heard Xiao Kai speak. “Tsk, don’t tell me you thought that the failure just now was because the keyboard isn’t useful? You might as well use the slow internet excuse!”
nAfter Xiao Kai said that, he sat down again. “When newbies don’t perform well, they would usually blame the Internet and say that they lagged.”
nXue Xi: “…”
nXiao Kai was just about to say something when the person-in-charge walked over. “Open it and drink some water!”
nAfter passing the cup to him, he pointed at Xiao Kai’s phone and signaled for him to take a look.
nXiao Kai sneered and picked up his phone. He saw that many messages had already been sent in the team chat.
nOld Wang from the Middle Road: “Open. Faced with a beautiful girl, take in some water!”
nPathway: “Xiao Kai, forget it. We can’t resist the power of capital.”
nEven the shooter, who was not in the club and was recuperating in the hospital, sent a message in the group chat: “It’ll be fine as long as we do our best.”
nLittle Development’s message entered the group chat: “But I don’t want you guys to lose.”
nSupport Li: “Anyway, there’s no chance of winning this year. The new owner also said that he will use the newcomer this season. This is also a form of protection for you. Xiao Kai, the entire internet is bashing you for being a newcomer and dragging us down. But actually, we all know that we are the ones who are dragging you down. Go train hard and help your brothers win back the next quarter.”
nXiao Kai’s eyes turned red as he clenched his fists.
nWhen they were the champions in the past, the five of them were glorious and untouchable. They were high and mighty, and Xiao Kai and the rest of the rookies looked up to them in the training camp.
nXiao Kai’s goal was to become people like them, but now… they were despised by the entire Internet, who said that they could not make it.
nIt was not that they could not make it, but that they were really unable to try.
nNo one cared about the injury on Li’s arm, making him unable to train for long… There were two steel nails on Old Wang’s shoulders. The previous shooter was even more groggy and could no longer play games.
nThey were only concerned about who won this round, who made a mistake in the operation, who did not follow up on the team battle, resulting in failure…
nXiao Kai wanted his brothers to retire in glory, even if they could only win another round in the group competition!
nHowever, from the looks of it, it would be very difficult.
nHe was so angry that he punched the table. He blamed himself for not being strong enough and for not having enough actual combat experience. At this moment, he heard a female voice say, “I’m done. Let’s continue.”
n
