Chapter Fifteen

The game started, and Yi Qiang Chuan Yun was the first to fly his gun backwards. Immediately afterward, a shot rang out, a Barrett sniper rifle, a flick shot hit, and Yi Qiang Chuan Yun was stunned. Other professional players seized this opportunity to overtake.

The Nightless Marquis sheathed his spear, turned around and jumped slightly. His spear-throwing maneuver was very skillful. Although he was a few seconds slower than the others, he caught up quickly. After the level update, Zhou Qiao still focused on intelligence and speed with the new points. The Nightless Marquis's movement speed and attack speed were far above average.

Among the lucky audience, the one running at the front was the swordsman with the most dash skills. When he saw the Nightless Marquis flying past him, he immediately used the Immortal's Guiding Strike, his longsword pointing directly at the Nightless Marquis.

When the Nightless Marquis raised his knee, the knee strike was not as effective as the Immortal's Guidance in terms of hit detection. As a result, the Nightless Marquis was blown away. However, due to the invincibility effect of the knee strike, the stun caused by the skill was negated, and the Nightless Marquis was sent flying a bit. Zhou Qiao's operation was skillful, and the flying spear did not stop at all.

Riding the wave of the swordsman's rise, Nightless Marquis surpassed two professional players in succession, and now the top three are three sharpshooters.

Li Ji subtly adjusted the muzzle of his gun and quietly fired a controlled bullet.

The Nightless Marquis was shot and forced into the air, but at the same time, he used a sniper rifle to headshot Li Ji, the sharpshooter.

Roommate B clenched his fist: "That's amazing!"

Then, under the angry stares of the surrounding medicinal powder, it gradually fell silent.

Due to the forced levitation and the recoil of the Barrett sniper rifle, the Nightless Marquis landed in fifth place, where he encountered the swordsman again.

Perhaps because swordsmen are talkative, or perhaps because this swordsman disliked Team Happy, he shouted, "Eat my Phantom Sword!" and charged forward.

A skilled swordsman at level 70 can unleash a devastating ultimate move, achieving the swift and deadly feat of "killing one person in ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles." Unfortunately, his first strike missed its mark.

The light from the gun in the Nightless Marquis's hand flashed, and with the rapid-fire buff, the Nightless Marquis was sent flying again.

Parkour games aren't purely about racing, and One Shot Through the Clouds, who was in the lead, had already entered a new area: a suspended bridge. On a surface that's discontinuous and the distances between points are irregular, it's often difficult to continue the flying gun maneuver, but One Shot Through the Clouds simply glanced back at the camera and continued flying backwards, his movements fluid and without pause.

As part of the professional players' daily training, none of them made any mistakes. Bu Ye Hou's rapid-fire buff hadn't ended, and he successfully overtook the other three professional players in the first half of the suspended bridge, ranking second.

In the latter half, the suspended terrain began to move, and Yi Qiang Chuan Yun and Bu Ye Hou had to constantly turn around to adjust their perspectives, but their speed did not decrease as a result, and the gap between the two and the others began to widen.

After crossing the bridge and entering the city, the route began to make various sharp turns. Unexpectedly, Bu Ye Hou turned his gun around and opened fire, aiming a bullet that pierced through the clouds.

With a calm and collected counterattack, a Barrett sniper rifle shot struck Nightless Marquis in the forehead, and the gunfire ceased.

A single shot pierces the clouds, forcing the user into the air.

An emoticon bubble appeared above the Nightless Marquis's head: Y=v=Y. With this emoticon, she crossed the Cloud Piercing Shot and became number one.

Then, as the traffic light changed, a car suddenly appeared and knocked Bu Yehou flying.

The Undying Marquis: "???"

He landed after firing a shot through the clouds, and another car appeared. He dodged the car by maneuvering and returned to the sidewalk.

Because of the forced knockdown stun, Nightless Marquis was still unable to move. One shot cleared the cooldown of the double control, followed by another Barrett sniper shot. Two consecutive headshots, plus the massive damage from the car, brought Nightless Marquis's health to 0.

"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Laughter erupted from the professional players' seats.

Some people looked at Huang Shaotian blankly, not understanding why he suddenly laughed so hard he almost slipped off his chair.

Yu Wenzhou sighed helplessly, "Shaotian, you should tone it down a bit."

Huang Shaotian: "Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter because of her!"

After traversing the city area, Yi Qiang Chuan Yun was the first to reach the finish line, followed by a professional player and two spectators. The others were unfortunately eliminated in the brawls that took place in the city area.

The host handed out badges to the four lucky audience members and interviewed Zhou Zekai: "Xiao Zhou, what are your thoughts on winning first place?"

Zhou Zekai: "Hmm... a bit unexpected."

The host then asked Zhou Qiao, "What do you want to say about missing out on first place? Actually, your ranking would have been better if you hadn't fought the Gun King."

Zhou Qiao smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. I'm a die-hard fan of Gun King. With such a big Gun King in my scope, it's hard for me not to snipe him."

Zhou Zekai: “…”

host:"……"

The host chuckled awkwardly to end the round and invited the professional players from the next round to host the mini-game.

Lucky audience members exited the stage from both sides. Zhou Qiao walked to the side of the stage, where Huang Shaotian, who had secretly come over, grabbed her shoulder and asked, "Where do you think you're going?"

Zhou Qiao: "You dare to show your face! I could hear you laughing at me even while I was on stage with my headphones on."

Huang Shaotian: "Well, you really are hilarious!"

Zhou Qiao struggled: "Our friendship has capsized! Let me go!"

Huang Shaotian, relying on his height advantage, ruthlessly suppressed Zhou Qiao's struggle: "I think you should explain what the Lord of Nevernight is all about!"

Pushed to Blue Rain's seat, Yu Wenzhou greeted her gently: "Xiaoxiao, long time no see. You've really grown up so much, I almost didn't recognize you."

Huang Shaotian tugged at Zhou Qiao's braid: "I'm not the captain, so I'm asking you directly: what were you thinking before you got this unconventional look? I didn't see anyone else from Tiny Herb dyeing their hair green."

As he spoke, Huang Shaotian whistled towards Tiny Herb's location.

Tiny Herb members: ? ? ?

Zhou Qiao sat down in the empty seat next to Lu Hanwen: "Tell me, what do you want by kidnapping me?"

"Why are you saying such harsh things? You've been gone for so long, shouldn't you give your brothers an explanation?"

Zhou Qiao: "Who said you're my best friend!"

Huang Shaotian complained, "When you asked me for an autograph, you called me Sword Saint, but after you got the autograph, you turned your back on me, didn't you? You've been corrupted by Ye Qiu. What was Wang Jiexi thinking? How could he let a kid play with Ye Qiu?"

"Huh?" Zhou Qiao put her hand on the back of Lu Hanwen's seat. "This is the little kid!"

Lu Hanwen: "I'm not a little kid!"

Xu Jingxi leaned closer: "Only children would say they're not children."

Zhou Qiao: "Get out! Get out! Is this how you talk to a senior?"

Zhou Qiao sent a message to the dormitory group to meet at the place from yesterday. She originally planned to sneak away by blending in with the Blue Rain team, and even borrowed a baseball cap from Lu Hanwen. Lu Hanwen didn't mind being tricked by her during the summer break at all and lent it to her in a very good mood.

He was caught red-handed by Wang Jiexi in the contestant passage.

Zhou Qiao desperately tried to signal Huang Shaotian with her eyes, but Huang Shaotian pulled out sunglasses and put them on. Lu Hanwen wasn't quite sure what was going on and tried to help her, but Song Xiao held him back.

Yu Wenzhou smiled as he watched Wang Jiexi carry her into Tiny Herb's team.

Zhou Qiao angrily pulled out her phone.

I want to get a cat: Are we brothers? Are we brothers? Are we brothers?

I really want to block him: He's not a brother, he's not a brother, he's not a brother

I want to raise a cat: You're doomed, I'm going to tell Xiaoyezi.

I really want to block him/her: ? ? ?

Wang Jiexi waited until Zhou Qiao finished sending the message before speaking: "Still going through your rebellious phase?"

Zhou Qiao reached out and hugged his arm: "Big-eyed Daddy! I was wrong! I'll never do it again!"

Actually, she wanted to beg Wang Jiexi for forgiveness last night, but she was too embarrassed to do so in front of her roommates.

"Pfft—" Xu Bin couldn't help but laugh.

The young members of Tiny Herb were dumbfounded: although some seniors used to tease Wang Jiexi behind his back by calling him "Big-Eyed Dad," they never expected that someone would actually call him that.

Wang Jiexi took a deep breath and said, "Your things, come with me to get them now."

Zhou Qiao was taken aback: "Huh?"

She texted her roommates to go back first, then followed Wang Jiexi from the venue into the club, and finally into the captain's office. On Wang Jiexi's desk were several stacked boxes of chocolates, containing Zhou Qiao's old notes, a championship keyboard and mouse set, and a collectible Glory character figurine.

Zhou Qiao was stunned.

Wang Jiexi said, "When your parents' lawyer signed the termination agreement, he said that you didn't want any of your belongings in the dormitory, so the auntie took away your bedding, clothes, and other things. Your doll has been sent to the address you gave, but I think it's better if you pick up these valuable items yourself."

Zhou Qiao's vision suddenly blurred.

"Everything else is fine."

Although B City has heating in winter, it is still very cold outside. Therefore, Tiny Herb's team uniforms are windproof jackets with a stiff fabric.

"sorry--"

Zhou Qiao hugged Wang Jiexi's waist, her face stinging from the fabric rubbing against him, and her voice was muffled, but Wang Jiexi still heard her.

He raised his arm and gently patted Zhou Qiao's head: "Xiaoxiao, I've already said it, it's not your fault."

Zhou Qiao broke down and cried for a long time. When she finally calmed down, she took off her glasses, which were blurred by tears, and rubbed her face with her hands: "Captain Wang, your clothes are too stiff."

Wang Jiexi handed her a wet wipe, took off his coat, and put on the cotton-padded jacket he had left in the office: "Where do you live? I'll take you home."

Zhou Qiao crumpled the wet wipe in her hand, gave the address, and then said, "I'm hungry."

Wang Jiexi: "...Then I'll buy some food later and pack it up to take home."

"Thank you, Captain Wang."

Wang Jiexi escorted Zhou Qiao to the room door, placed her belongings by the door, and stepped back a few paces: "Go in."

Zhou Qiao knocked on the door, and her roommate B opened it. She was startled to see Wang Jiexi standing in the hallway, and even more surprised to find Zhou Qiao's eyes were red: "What happened?"

Zhou Qiao handed the takeout to her roommate, picked up the box, and said goodbye to Wang Jiexi: "Goodbye, Captain Wang."

After closing the door, she received a message from Wang Jiexi.

Xiao Jie: Xiao Xiao, good luck in the challenge!

I want to have a cat: I will!

Little Leaf Chirping: Let me interview you, how are you feeling right now?

I want to get a cat: I feel like something's not right.

I want to get a cat: Anyway, I got Wang Jiexi's forgiveness.

Little Leaf Chirping: ? ? ? What kind of plot is this?

Little Leaf Chirping: Did I miss the father-daughter reunion?

I want to have a cat: You're so annoying.

Little Leaf Chirp: Okay, I actually wanted to send you this.

Little Leaf Chirping: [Forum Link: [Li Tao] Has anyone watched today's All-Star Game?]

I want to get a cat: What is that?

I want to get a cat: I'll see after I take a shower.
