Chapter 250 The Ignored Man

Qin Yi said, "She's my friend, but I don't know about my brother. But judging from his disgusted look, he probably doesn't consider her a friend."

Qiao Xing glanced at Qin Ce, who had reverted to his aloof demeanor.

Qin Yi took out his phone and had already contacted Yang Han; the two were chatting.

Qin Ce stood there for a while, but seeing that Qiao Xing ignored him, he felt bored, went to the study, took his laptop from the study, and sat opposite Qiao Xing to start working.

Qin Yi didn't seem to be leaving either. After contacting Yang Han, he was pulled in for the assessment by Yang Han.

When Qiao Xing saw him start the game, she couldn't help but go over and watch him play.

It's not a five-player team, it's a two-player team.

As soon as he entered, he heard Yang Han exclaim, "Holy crap, you got 2,500 points?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Qin Yi asked, puzzled. He then checked Yang Han's profile again and saw that Yang Han only had 2,300 yuan.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's start a game and see."

Yang Han quickly started the game, and Qiao Xing craned her neck to watch. Perhaps because she had played it a lot these past two days, she was getting into the swing of things and was a little engrossed in it.

As soon as the game started, Qin Yi took the jungle role and went in, dominating the game. From start to finish, the whole room was filled with Yang Han's exclamations of "Holy crap!" and "Awesome!"

Qiao Xing was also shocked. He was amazing! Yang Han only had three kills, but he got seventeen, and he didn't die even once.

"Are you that good?" Qiao Xing asked in surprise.

Qin Yi operated his phone and returned to his room. "It's alright, it's mainly because he dragged down the score."

Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth. She could never reach Yang Han's rank in her lifetime, yet in Qin Yi's eyes, Yang Han was someone who dragged down her score.

Yang Han couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this. He asked Qin Yi to switch to a bronze account so he could take him to play five-player ranked matches in bronze.

Qin Yi frowned. "But I don't have a secondary account."

"Isn't your sister-in-law right next to you? Use hers."

Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then looked up and met Qin Yi's gaze.

She readily took out her phone, opened the game, and handed it to him; her bronze account was simply embarrassing to show off.

Qin Yi didn't stand on ceremony and took the weapon, continuing to fight with Yang Han.

Sitting opposite him, Qin Ce's gaze drifted between the two of them. He twitched the corners of his mouth and then silently lowered his head to work.

The three of them spent the entire morning in this eerie atmosphere.

Qin Yi and his friends were playing the game so well that Qiao Xing even forgot about Qin Ce's existence.

At noon, Qin Ce closed his notebook and spoke, "Are you guys going to eat?"

Qiao Xing didn't even look at him, her gaze fixed on her phone screen. "Whatever."

Qin Yi also said, "I'm fine with either."

Qin Ce laughed, a laugh born of anger. He grabbed his coat from the sofa and left.

It wasn't until he heard the door close that Qiao Xing came to his senses, looked up at the door, and wondered if he had gone out.

But she ignored that and asked Qin Yi, "How did you know where the enemy was?"

“They missed a crucial point; it can be deduced by looking at the economic data panel.”

Qiao Xing couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. This was too advanced; it was definitely beyond the reach of a newbie like her.

After a while, Qiao Xing asked again, "Do you play this game every day? You're so good at it!"

Qin Yi said, "No, I play it when I'm bored. I've only played a little over a hundred games this season, there are too many trolls."

"actor?"

"Yeah, the kind where you deliberately lose."

Why?

"Because there's a boss on the other side, they can get money if they lose."

Qiao Xing nodded. So that's how it is. She hadn't expected that she could make money playing this game.

When Qin Yi told her that actors of his rank could earn several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan per game, which was more than her salary, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

"It's quite impressive that you can still get such a high score."

"I spent money too..."

"..."

Qiao Xing was completely speechless. She also studied computer programming, but not in the field of game development; she had just heard that programmers made a lot of money…

Unfortunately, after graduating, she hadn't actually written any code yet, and her first company went bankrupt after only a few months of work.

The second company was Weisheng. I was assigned to the administration department after the interview, and now I'm doing planning.

It has absolutely nothing to do with her major.

Qin Yi also realized what was happening. When he saw Qiao Xing's pensive face, his heart skipped a beat.

I reflected on what I had just said, and realized I probably hadn't said anything at all.

They probably didn't say how much money they spent.

He encountered a boss in the game before, and in a fit of anger, he got into a fight with him. The boss was also powerful, and the two of them bid against each other, eventually reaching 100,000.

In the end, that guy chickened out and gave up on winning the game.

They were playing for big stakes back then, not just giving 100,000 to one person, but to all five teammates and the opposing team's actors, each receiving 100,000.

In other words, he spent approximately 600,000 yuan on that game.

After that, when those business owners encountered him, they would basically go out of their way to avoid him.

After the game was over, Qin Ce returned.

He carried the takeout in his hand, went to the restaurant by himself, plated the takeout, and then returned to the living room, standing silently in front of the two of them.

Qiao Xing noticed something, looked up, and saw Qin Ce standing in front of her with a blank expression. She suddenly felt that the temperature in the room had dropped.

She dropped the cushion she was holding, stood up, and headed towards the restaurant.

Then Qin Ce ignored Qin Yi and let him play by himself, while he went to a restaurant to eat with Qiao Xing.

"Aren't you going to call him?" Qiao Xing asked.

Qin Ce handed her a pair of chopsticks, "Ignore him."

Qiao Xing twitched her lips. Qin Ce could ignore him, but she couldn't ignore him either, so she shouted at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi had just finished the game and came to the restaurant with his phone, returning it to Qiao Xing.

Qiao Xing asked, "So, did you pass Yang Han's test?"

"It's approved."

"Then we can go to the competition?"

Qin Yi nodded, picked up his chopsticks and started eating, not at all shy. "Well, I don't have much to do lately anyway."

For some reason, he added, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, if we win, all the money is yours."

"No... You can keep what you won."

"It's okay, I don't need it."

Qiao Xing glanced at Qin Ce. She had thought he was joking, but it turned out to be true.

This guy actually got Qin Yi to give them the bonus?

Qin Ce kept his head down, focused on eating, pretending not to see Qiao Xing's gaze.

Because of this third wheel, he still maintained a certain air of importance.

After finishing his meal, Qin Yi felt it wouldn't be appropriate for him to stay any longer. He took the initiative to pick up the trash from the takeout and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm leaving now."

Qin Ce simply gave a faint "hmm".

Before leaving, Qin Yi said, "This takeout food isn't good."

After saying that, he quickly took the trash and went out.

Now only Qiao Xing and Qin Ce are left in the room. Qiao Xing turns her head away, not knowing what to say.

In short, the atmosphere between the two is somewhat delicate right now.

She couldn't quite put her finger on being angry; it was just that something felt off her, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable when she was with Qin Ce.
