The fact that Yang Fei was not coming was not disclosed to anyone other than the staff members.

Not even the host knew about it.

He thought it was Yang Fei at the end and was already ready to speak, but after seeing this scene, he rounded his speech up. “It looks like both the Sun God and Yan are not playing this time. I believe OST wanted to give the newcomers a chance. Of course, we believe OST can still come out with the strongest appearance…”

Yang Fei’s fans had already started to become restless in the auditorium.

Netizens were also agitated on Weibo. When the countless fans saw that Yang Fei did not appear, they went to Yang Fei’s Weibo and left several messages on it.

Qin Ran’s team and Team WAT all took their seats.

The coach held a notebook and walked behind Qin Ran with a headset.

The fans at the scene overreacted, and the coach was originally worried that Qin Ran’s mentality would be affected. But after seeing that she was calmer than him, he froze for a while and swallowed his words of appeasement.

He coughed and started arranging the next card strategy for them.

The outcome would be decided in one game.

The coach was nervous since the five members had not practiced playing together before.

“Miss Qin, what cards do you have on your account?” The coach wrote in his notebook the combination of cards that they could play with tonight.

Qin Ran said casually while logging into her account, “It’s full.”

Although the coach was surprised, he also understood. As a first-generation member, it was obvious that she would have the full cards…

However, it was also very strange. The three God cards had not appeared when Qin Ran unilaterally announced her retirement, so where did she get all the cards from?

Qin Ran logged into her account and Kyushu Tour’s official website gave a close-up of her computer page.

The other people had already appeared in the professional industry before, including Xiao Yu. Although they had never competed officially before, they had served as reserve players before.

Only Qin Ran was a complete newcomer or a newcomer who had been hired by OST. She was so mysterious that the director had to give her a close-up.

The narrator took the microphone and cursed inside, but he still smiled and said, “Let us look at the mysterious female player from OST. Everyone should know that OST once had a female player, Meng Xinran, whose hand speed was faster than Yi Jiming’s. I wonder if she’s another Meng Xinran found by OST…”

While the narrator talked, Lu Zhaoying stared at the big screen in the audience. He listened to the dissatisfaction of the fans around him and his palms started sweating furiously.

If this carried on, Qin Ran would lose the game…

Cheng Juan sat next to him, looking at the screen without moving. However, he constantly knocked his fingers on the armrest and seemed a little impatient.

“Master Juan.” Lu Zhaoying tried to ease his emotions. “What do you think Qin Ran’s account level is? How many stars does she have? Is she on the Supreme level?”

Even after playing with them for so long, Qin Ran had never once exposed her account.

Cheng Juan leaned back and did not reply. The director was still giving Qin Ran a close-up.

He just stared at the enlarged screen.

Lu Zhaoying did not think Cheng Juan was ignoring him and simply said, “Qin Ran is good at using the assisting cards and has a good conscious operation. If she managed to meet reliable teammates, she would have no problem achieving nine stars in the Guru level. But she said her account is not in the Guru level, so she might be in the Master level…”

While talking, the big screen showed that Qin Ran had successfully logged into her account.

The two letters of the account name were enlarged—

QR!

It was only the main page as Qin Ran did not stay on the page of her personal information, so neither her level nor the battle information could be seen.

Kyushu Tour only allowed one account of the same name.

“Nine… nine stars,” Lu Zhaoying stuttered.

He reacted after a few seconds and turned to Cheng Juan dramatically. “What the f*ck, Master Juan! What’s going on?!”

If it had been a few days ago, Lu Zhaoying would not have felt anything about the name.

But he had clearly seen this name on Cheng Juan’s account yesterday!

QR!

The big boss who had sent Cheng Juan three God cards!

The one who played with Cheng Juan as the sinister duo three years ago?!

Cheng Juan’s hand paused and he gripped the armrest tightly, his cold-white hand turning even whiter.

He looked intently at Qin Ran’s account name which was enlarged on the screen.

His eyes were dark and heavy.

As if caught by an invisible hand, his heart skipped a beat.

Really, Lu Zhaoying had never seen anyone who could make Master Cheng’s expression change so quickly and for so long.

Cheng Mu also liked to watch games but was not enthusiastic about it. However, he had also seen the account that gifted Cheng Juan three God cards.

He had also followed Lu Zhaoying to look at the leaderboard of the first district and remembered the blinding twenty stars on the Supreme level and her battle scores.

He had never seen a score higher than 10,000.

“It turns out that the newcomer of OST is QR.” Compared to them, the commentator was a little calmer because he had not seen Qin Ran’s battle scores. “Hey, did she just change her name?”

The director originally wanted to cut to another scene.

Who knew she would actually buy a rename card in the professional arena.

And arrogantly, under countless stares, she even changed her name to OST, QR!

What the hell?

She was still doing this on the spot?

The commentator who had witnessed countless scenes was also a little stunned.

Who would explain to him what was going on with this new member of OST?

The countless audience were also silent.

They had been shouting “Sun God” but were stunned by this action as well. Someone actually said, “This little sister is interesting.”

“Yes, she’s a little arrogant.”

Yang Fei’s fans were not brainless.

After the initial explosion, they also calmed down. Although they were disappointed, they still cheered on OST.

“Show off.” Team WAT’s coach watched the live broadcast and sneered disdainfully at this scene. “Wait till they fight with Lung!”

Actually, it was not just WAT’s coach who thought this way, but the millions of viewers watching the live broadcast also thought so.

Without Yang Fei and facing off against the most powerful team beside OST, these fans basically gave up hopes of winning.

Anyone who watched the live broadcast knew that there would be a gambling plate before the start of every game.

They would bet on which side would win with beans.

The officials would then automatically settle the bets before the game was over, and the prizes would be given automatically after the victory had been decided.

At the beginning of this gate, the odds of OST against WAT had reached as high as 9.9 to 1.

Less than 10 million beans bet on OST through the official live broadcast, but more than 100 million beans bet on WAT.

Almost everyone had chosen that WAT would win without any hesitation. Only some of OST’s diehard fans still steadfastly bet on their side even though they knew they would lose.

Everyone preempted that WAT would win almost at the game opening, so the beans on WAT’s side were already full.

The officials directly closed the bet.

Some people did not have time to bet on WAT and immediately stamped their feet regretfully.

The live broadcast was divided into screens and the character cards had been selected on both sides.

The commentator glanced at Qin Ran’s choice of cards and was a little stunned. “The new member of OST, QR, actually chose 3 attack cards?” His interest was piqued and he continued, “Could she really be the second Meng Xinran?”

They all knew that Meng Xinran only lost in hand speed to Yang Fei.

“But it’s difficult to tell against Lung,” another commentator also explained seriously. “Lung is a talented player and is also invincible on the field. He won more than he lost…”

The game started and both sides entered the venue with their cards.

As the number one player in Country H, Lung’s steady and explosive outbursts were worthy of his reputation. He was not bothered even against Qin Ran and Xiao Yu.

In the beginning, both sides tried each other with a small card and a small move.

Qin Ran stayed behind Xiao Yu, carrying a Nüwa card and two other attack cards. When the opponent tried to advance on her, she evaded them by lightly moving the position away.

The opponent still had all their cards.

Instead, Xiao Yu had already lost one of his Earth cards.

“What the f*ck, is this QR stupid? Why did she not take such a good chance to attack?!”

“Can she not see?!”

“How did OST let her play, where is Yan?”

“This is even weaker than the auxiliary cards, is this even an attack card? She’s simply useless!”

They started cursing her one by one on the comment page.

OST had always been invincible on the battlefield and was rarely cursed at by people right at the start of the game.

The people simply lost it when they saw Yi Jiming lose his most useful trump card.

“If I knew this would happen, I would have given my beans to WAT instead of OST!”

“…”

Was Qin Ran acting? Of course not. Neither side knew what cards the other team carried, and she had not coordinated with her teammates before either.

However, there was something very buggy about her—she could play with almost every teammate cooperatively.

This was the biggest reason why Lu Zhaoying teamed up with her in the arena.

It was the same at this time!

After Yi Jiming lost his two attack cards, Qin Ran’s erratic character finally stopped. “Yi Jiming!”

“Roger!”

Qin Ran directly made a big move with the Nüwa card and resurrected Yi Jiming’s sure-kill card.

She controlled the two other cards at the same time!

Not to mention the audience, even Lung, who had been testing out OST, had yet to respond to her actions.

Qin Ran’s fingers flew across the black keyboard. If it were not because the director looked down on her and did not give her a close-up, the audience would be able to see how incredibly fast she was on the keyboard.

Her remaining Nüwa card was directly locked onto Lung’s ace card!

Yi Jiming then followed up with an attack!

After Qin Ran’s showy individual move, her most flashy Nüwa card was used up, so she directly took her other two cards and attacked fiercely!

“What the f*ck.” The commentator couldn’t help but swear. “QR brought her two assassination cards to kill Lung’s God card, will she succeed? As everyone knows, Lung is very stable, and few people can kill him alone besides Sun God… what the f*ck, Lung’s whole army has been wiped out?!”

Before the commentator finished speaking, the game page showed that all of Lung’s three cards had turned gray!

Other than losing one God card, after Qin Ran used her two cards to kill Lung’s cards… what the hell, she still managed to escape without death?!

What kind of godly operation was this?!

Everyone there, as well as those watching the live broadcast, watched this scene passionately and couldn’t help but swear with the commentator. “What the f*ck!”

The audience, who had been so mad before, suddenly exploded into a thunderous burst of chatter!

It almost resonated through the audience.

Those who had chosen to place their beans on OST before the game opening were dumbfounded. “I can get rich by lying down too?”

The odds of 9.9… they were indeed rich!

WAT depended on Lung, but without him, WAT was basically gone.

WAT’s coach originally sneered disdainfully when he saw Qin Ran, this rash newbie, carry two cards to kill Lung. But halfway through, Lung’s three cards had disappeared.

Less than twenty minutes after the start of the game, all of WAT’s cards were wiped out.

The director also seemed to be stunned. After the game, he suddenly adjusted the camera to point at Qin Ran.

She still wore a mask and only revealed a pair of very good-looking eyes that were squinted slightly.

Both Weibo and the auditorium exploded.

OST’s newcomer QR became famous.

News of OST’s win also exploded.

Countless netizens started discussing who this super fierce young lady was.

Someone commented silently among them—

Erm, I suggest you go see the leaderboard of the first district.

There were many likes.

Several comments gathered below.

Master, I’m back on my knees…

Master, my legs are soft…

Many people didn’t have the first district’s account and were extremely anxious.

Until one of them sent a picture.

Screenshot of the first district’s leaderboard

First district’s big boss.

No one dared to speak.

**

Qin Ran took off her mask after getting off the stage. The commentator originally wanted Qin Ran to stay behind for an interview, but she didn’t want to, so they pushed Yi Jiming up instead.

She followed the coach backstage.

She walked to the passageway.

And bumped into Cheng Juan and the others.

Cheng Juan was looking down and deep in thought and raised his head slightly when he heard the sound of her coming down.

Qin Ran put her mask in her pocket. “… Let me explain.”
