In the semi-finals of the other group, GGB lost to FJ Team.

They have stumbled all the way, and getting here is both surprising and regrettable. I always feel that they should not stop here, but looking at their progress in the regular season, I feel that they are lucky to be able to reach the semifinals.

After the game ended that day, the two teams went to a dinner together.

POG was already waiting for them in the private room - and had already started eating without any hesitation.

Chi Nan was stunned when he rushed into the private room with great enthusiasm. He stepped out to check the room number to make sure he was in the right place. Then, feeling a little confused, he came in and asked, "Why aren't you waiting for anyone?"

Xu Qing was busy eating and drinking and had no time to pay attention to him.

Gu Yueshuang took the time to reply, "I think you might be going live. We should evacuate before you do."

Yang Chi was also confused: "Are you really just here to eat for free?"

He was originally quite disappointed and even wanted to cry after losing the game, but now he was just confused.

Gu Yueshuang: "What else?"

Lu Cheng shoved everyone into the private room and quietly locked it. "No live broadcast, no one can leave. No photos today, either. Put away your phones and cameras, and just eat your meal. Is that okay?"

Gu Yueshuang looked suspicious: "What's your conspiracy?"

Lu Minghao was a little panicked: "What should I do if I can't get out?"

Gu Yueshuang: "It's okay, just press the bell next to the door and a waiter will come."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Chi stepped sideways and blocked the service bell.

Lin Yanqiu said leisurely: "Don't worry, just enjoy your meal. This restaurant was opened by one of my grandfather's students."

Everyone: “…”

Lu Cheng didn't bother pulling up a chair next to them and sitting down. "I heard the staff chatting today, saying there's nothing they can do to control you guys. Now I know why."

Yang Chi, the honest man, interrupted: "Ah? Didn't they say 'threat'?"

Gu Yueshuang didn't care much: "It doesn't matter what you say, our team is just so free. So what do you think? Are you envious?"

Everyone entered the box and looked at Gu Yueshuang secretly or openly.

Chi Nan asked: "Are you really a female...female contestant?"

Zhou Yao and Xu Qing didn't even bother to eat. They laughed so hard that they slammed their hands on the table.

Lu Minghao nodded very honestly: "Yes, that was our reaction when we found out."

Zhou Yao: "But it's really fun to see this expression on other people's faces! Happy!"

Xu Qing laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. She said, "But it's not surprising, isn't it? She's been called delicate before, isn't she? She's not really big and strong..."

Lu Minghao bumped into him, signaling him to calm down a bit: "That's enough, or I'll get mad and beat you up right there."

Xu Qing tried hard to be serious, but he couldn't hold back his smile. "Although I was shocked when I found out, seeing you guys were shocked too, I feel relieved."

Lu Cheng keenly sensed something was wrong and looked at Lin Yanqiu, asking, "You knew this a long time ago, right?"

Lin Yanqiu said calmly, "Not much earlier than you guys."

Lu Cheng looked at the extremely calm Qin Ye again and asked, "Brother Ye, did you know about this a long time ago?"

Qin Ye: "..."

Zhou Yao almost laughed himself crazy: "He's probably still in shock. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have habitually let the mid laner go. He should have taken care of him anyway."

Chi Nan looked at her for a long time, confirming that they were not ganging up on him. He still murmured to himself in disbelief: "It shouldn't be... I've never seen a girl who is so addicted to games and can beat me."

Gu Yueshuang: "That's because you haven't seen enough."

Chi Nan continued, "And you're better at talking than me, you're even more aggressive at cursing, and you're not afraid of a closed room...Are you really a girl? Aren't girls supposed to be soft and sweet?"

Gu Yueshuang pinched her joints, making a few crisp sounds.

It was a very light movement that reminded everyone of the fear of the wooden table being cracked after the intercontinental competition.

Xia Yan quickly pulled Chi Nan back: "I'm sorry, our team members were ignorant and offended."

Gu Yueshuang smiled wryly: "Who said I cursed fiercely? I'm very civilized... I never curse in order to avoid being fined."

Chi Nan quickly grasped the key words: "If there is no fine..."

Gu Yueshuang interrupted him: "If I don't fine you, you can still stand here and point fingers at me?"

Chi Nan waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm definitely not interfering - I'm just asking normal questions."

Zhou Yao stood up. "Whether you're just curious or gossiping, it's all good enough. Our mid-lane player is a female. Isn't that awesome?!"

Lin Yanqiu's words hit home: "You just can't accept that you can't beat a girl, right?"

Chi Nan scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

He subconsciously wanted to refute, but found that there was no reason to refute. He really felt that girls could not beat boys in sports and games.

In traditional sports, boys have an innate advantage because of their muscles.

However, there is no such starting advantage in e-sports. It’s just that there are generally more boys than girls playing games in Internet cafes, and those who discuss games all day are also boys, so he assumed that most of the people he met in the game were boys.

It was assumed that boys were better at playing games than girls, so for a while, he couldn't accept being beaten by girls.

——And she is a girl who is better than him in every aspect.

What’s even more suffocating is that both of them play mid lane.

He was outshined by a girl.

Yan Che patted his shoulder and said, "She even forced me to retire."

Gu Yueshuang asked seriously, "So according to your theory, if we win the championship, I'll be the strongest mid-lane player. Doesn't that prove that girls are much better at gaming than boys?"

Yang Chi: "Wait, you're the only female contestant among all these people, right?"

Gu Yueshuang nodded. "Yes, most girls are very good. They go to class, do their homework, and develop their talents. They don't skip classes to play games. Girls generally have better grades in school."

Everyone was silent, feeling like they were being targeted but unable to refute.

Gu Yueshuang continued, "There aren't many girls willing to spend time playing games. If we consider the ratio, maybe girls are better? So, girls are just not interested in these things. If they were willing to invest their time and energy in them, maybe there wouldn't be any male players anymore."

Gu Yueshuang said, and nodded with satisfaction: "As expected, women are always better."

Chi Nan argued: "Then why didn't we see any female contestants?"

Gu Yueshuang casually quipped, "Because esports had no future in the past few years, it was basically all teenagers addicted to the internet playing games. Aren't they all internet cafe teams, the kind that barely have food to eat? The conditions were too poor, so no one came, only male players. As for the past few years, the environment is still not very good, with all the dormitories. It would be difficult to recruit female players. After all, female players are more expensive, and they all need private rooms."

Everyone was gradually persuaded by her and sat down to start eating.

After a while, Chi Nan realized something was wrong and stood up, slamming the table: "That's not right! The players I met in the ranking were all men!"

Gu Yueshuang couldn't stand it any longer and slapped him: "Didn't I say that girls are more outstanding and study hard to serve the motherland?! Excellent talents should of course be handed over to the country!"

Chi Nan: "...Oh, it seems so."

Everyone has accepted the theory that "women are better than men", assuming that Chi Nan cannot win an argument with Gu Yueshuang, and begins to secretly laugh at Chi Nan as a fool.

Chi Nan ate a piece of meat and pondered for a long time. He still felt something was wrong and slammed the table again: "That's not right! Why do you skip classes every day to play games?"

He seemed to have grasped the key and began to think of the words proudly.

But before he could feel proud for three seconds, he heard Gu Yueshuang say lightly: "Because I know everything the teacher teaches. It's too easy."

The POG team members nodded silently: "We testify, we have seen her transcript."

Chi Nan: “…………”

Gu Yueshuang sighed, "Just accept the status quo. There are people who are prettier, better at operations, and smarter than you—and what's even scarier is that there are so many girls who are better than you. So don't be startled by gender."

"The women I've met are indeed very outstanding." Lin Yanqiu thought for a moment and added, "Of course, there are also many outstanding men."

Gu Yueshuang asked again: "Have you thought about what to do after retirement?"

Lin Yanqiu gently pulled at the corner of her sleeve and reminded her, "Don't add pressure to them, otherwise they'll blame you if they don't perform well in the World Championship."

Gu Yueshuang nodded: "Oh yes, what if they throw the blame on me? I'd better wait until the World Championship is over before giving you a small lecture."

Everyone: “…”

Yang Chi: "That's not right. Now our chances of making it to the World Championship are greater than yours, right?"

Gu Yueshuang: "We seem to have beaten Team FJ in the regular season."

Everyone in the FJ team: "..."

Gu Yueshuang continued, "We win more than we lose in training matches, right?"

Team FJ burst into tears and began to accuse POG of their inhumane behavior: "Every time they call us for a scrim, they practice some weird composition! These composition are rarely used in real games! Their intentions are so sinister!"

Zhou Yao looked proud. "What's the matter? Our midlaner is awesome, right? She uses her brain to play the game. Many lineups are suggested by her, and then we discuss their feasibility. Of course, other people have suggested them too, but Shuangshuang is really full of wonderful ideas. It's amazing."

Lin Yanqiu also looked proud: "Yes, our mid laner is exceptionally good."

Chi Nan's mouth twitched: "You guys are just showing off like your own children..."

Xu Qing slammed the table and stood up. "The most amazing thing about our Shuangshuang is that she never gets fat! What a precious gene! Why don't I have it?"

Zhou Yao rolled his eyes: "That's nothing, she can live in peace with Heige right after she arrived, can you?"

Xu Qing: "...Why are you still making personal attacks? Isn't it because Heige is Xiaolin's pet dog? Xiaolin treats her well, so Heige treats her well too..."

Lin Yanqiu was caught off guard and choked, coughing. After a moment's pause, she clarified, "It has nothing to do with me. She's naturally very approachable."

Gu Yueshuang nodded firmly: "I am indeed very awesome."
