From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 269: ‘Carried’ By Two Gaming Legends

Luo Xun was the leader of the party. When he looked at the request, he was once again taken aback.

Immediately afterward, he quickly double-checked the name.

ZYS.

Wasn’t this the person who was Rank Two on the leaderboard?

Then he checked again before he came to the conclusion that this was indeed the person who was Rank Two. It was not a fake name.

And thus, Luo Xun decisively kicked Shi Baiyang from the lobby and added ZYS.

Shi Baiyang turned around and stared at Luo Xun when he got kicked out. Question marks started appearing on his face.

“Excuse me? Luo Xun, you’re heartless. Do you have any regards for my feelings?”

“Brother Baiyang, please don’t be upset. Don’t you want the person who is Rank Two to join us? Don’t you want to see Rank One and Rank Two kill Zergs together?”

Shi Baiyang paused for a moment to think about the situation. Luo Xun’s words made sense and thus, he begrudgingly agreed.

Since he could no longer play the game, he shifted near to Jian Yiling to watch her play the game.

He wanted to see the APM[1] and control of a gaming legend.

Jian Yiling’s fingers were pale and slim. At first glance, her fingers appeared to look weak and fragile. However, when she worked her magic on the keyboard and mouse... It was something completely different.

Zhai Yunsheng had joined the game because of Jian Yiling.

From the friends’ list, one can see if your friend is in a game.

And thus, when Jian Yiling finished her first match, he had immediately asked to join their lobby,

Luo Xun had specially opened the in-game team voice for ZYS. However, ZYS didn’t talk to anyone.

Soon, a new game began.

Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng quickly started to kill Zergs.

Messages that were announcing J10 and ZYS’s kills kept popping up on the screen.

Initially, Luo Xun had planned to follow them. He wanted to gain some points and stray kills as well.

However, somehow, he had followed them into a swarm of Zergs. Then, he died in the game.

Before he died, he had called out to ZYS for assistance through team voice.

However, ZYS had no intentions of saving him. Instead, ZYS just watched his teammate’s health bar drop to zero.

Although Luo Xun had died early in the game, by the time the game was over, their team had still won.

In the next game, Luo Xun died early again. He had gotten attacked in the back by a Zerg that had been following ZYS.

Similarly, in the match afterward, Luo Xun once again died a horrible death. This time, his focus was on making sure that he survived. And thus, he decided to follow Yiling around. However, he still somehow fell into a Zerg trap and died.

After three games, Luo Xun had a horrible gaming experience.

However, his elo kept on rising. Despite this, he didn’t feel the thrill of winning.

Luo Xun’s facial expression was incredibly confused. How was his luck so bad today? He kept dying in strange ways.

In fact, he kept dying no matter how many Zergs his teammates killed. Somehow, no matter what he did, he still couldn’t escape his fate of dying early in the game.

However, Jian Yumin was concerned about another thing, “Yiling, do you know ZYS?”

“Mhmm.”

“Is it a man or a woman? Please be careful. There are a lot of scammers on the Internet nowadays. They specialize in scamming money from people.”

As Yiling was still young, Jian Yumin didn’t want to mention that there were some individuals who tricked unsuspecting individuals into sex.

“It’s okay. He has money.”

“Did he say that himself? Don’t believe in those words. A lot of people like to pretend that they’re rich on the Internet. However, in real life, they’re just fat and stay at home and do nothing with their lives.”

“He’s not fat. Plus, he didn’t say that. Yu Xi knows him as well.”

“Oh? Does Yu Xi know him? I’ll interrogate him about this later then!”

###

On the weekends, Jian Yuncheng received a phone call from Jian Yunmo.

When the call was answered, a warm and clear voice could be heard on the other side, “I’m back. I’m on my way home from the airport.”

By the time Jian Yunmo called Jian Yuncheng, he was almost home already.

He hadn’t informed his family in advance. In fact, he hadn’t even asked his family to pick him up from the airport.

“I’ll wait for you downstairs,” Jian Yuncheng said.

“I’ll take another hour.”

“Okay.”

An hour later, a taxi pulled up at the entrance of the Jian Residence.
