Before the Shark Lion team could react, Shi Qian had already launched an attack. Guan Mo and the others reacted quickly and immediately began to coordinate their attacks.
Shi Qian's hand speed was simply too fast. The B-level shooter performed at an S-level level, hitting the target every time, with one combo after another. The Shark Lion team members simply couldn't dodge it.
With the added attack from several A-level players including Guan Mo, the remaining three members of the Shark Lion team were quickly eliminated by a quadra kill.
The system kept broadcasting announcements of Shark Lion team members being killed and eliminated.
In less than 10 minutes, the Shark Lion team was wiped out.
Not only were the spectators outside the arena stunned, but the players from the other teams inside were also shocked.
While Shi Qian and his team were fighting with the Shark Lion team members, other teams happened to pass by and witnessed the whole thing. In order to save their lives, the teams chose to retreat immediately and avoid a direct confrontation with Island Whale.
Soon, news of the Island Whale team's complete annihilation of the Shark Lion team spread among the various teams, and the exaggerated descriptions by those who witnessed it made the other teams fear the Island Whale team.
Most teams aimed for a high ranking, so they all avoided the Island Whale team, and if they encountered them, they would run away immediately.
A fearless team tried to steal points from the Island Whale team, but was instantly wiped out.
The later stages of the competition went smoothly for Shi Qian and his team. They didn't need to waste time fighting; they could just focus on finding monsters.
Shi Qian seemed to have gained supernatural insight, accurately identifying and defeating all sorts of high-level monsters with ease.
After the competition, the Island Whale team unsurprisingly took first place on the leaderboard, a full digit ahead of second place, and successfully advanced to the finals.
After the contestants finished and came out, they all watched the live replay. They saw Shi Qian's lightning-fast moves and didn't dare to breathe.
If the entire match hadn't been broadcast live, allowing viewers to see the players' actions, and if the map hadn't been a new addition by the game developers, everyone would have thought Shi Qian was cheating.
With that hand speed, how can you even play?
How can you compare eyesight like that?
The top three teams on the leaderboard automatically advanced to the finals on the second day. During the match, the other two teams behaved very well, calmly searching for monsters and not engaging in any duels. What should have been an intense competition instantly turned into a friendly match.
"This year's competition is a foregone conclusion. Island Whale's substitute is absolutely amazing, he's on par with Summer."
"Can't we let 'our dad' be a judge? With him around, what's the point of the other teams competing...?"
...
Shark Lion Team was eliminated first, while Island Whale Team surprisingly won the championship, causing a frenzy on social media.
Shi Qian became famous overnight. At first, people questioned the arrogance of his ID name "I am your dad", but after the competition, he became "our dad".
Lu Zhiting stayed on the field after being eliminated, watching the game for two days. He had to admit that this substitute really had some talent.
After the competition, Guan Mo and the others planned to hold a celebration banquet, but Shi Qian did not attend because he had delayed the experimental progress for two days. He went straight back after the competition.
Lu Zhiting had been waiting outside the stadium gate. When he saw Guan Mo and the others come out, he went up to stop them.
"What, you're not convinced you lost?" Guan Mo thought Lu Zhiting was there to cause trouble.
Lu Zhiting only saw Guan Mo and the other two, along with Xu Wei, who was injured and watching the game from the rest room. He didn't see Shi Qian and asked, "Where's your substitute? I haven't seen him."
Guan Mo became wary. "They left long ago. A loss is a loss. Don't try any tricks; that's low-level."
He's gone? How could he be gone so quickly? He's been here the whole time, I haven't seen him at all.
“Who said I was going to cause trouble?” Lu Zhiting paused. “I just wanted to get to know people…”
Lu Zhiting spoke softer and softer, and when he realized that the person he was looking for wasn't there, he simply turned and left.
Shi Qian returned to the lab and immediately got busy again. He had just been playing a game when he had a new idea and rushed back to test it.
When Meng Qing finished her work and came downstairs, she saw Meng Xu lying in the living room watching a game live stream. The camera just switched to the Island Whale team, and Meng Qing recognized Shi Qian's hand at a glance.
"What game is this?" Meng Qing asked.
Meng Xu was still munching on potato chips when the match reached the point where the Island Whale team eliminated the other three members of the Shark Lion team. Without turning his head, Meng Xu replied, "This is the national competition for Deep Sea Continent games. Today's match produced an amazing player."
The camera cut to Shi Qian wearing a helmet, and Meng Xu pointed at him, saying, "That's him! He's incredibly skilled! If you're ever interested in investing in a club, you absolutely have to sign the Island Whale team, so I can get to know this pro..."
Meng Qing went downstairs to drink a glass of water, then went back upstairs to search for the game. The first page was the competition link, which Meng Qing clicked on and carefully observed the players' screens.
As expected, it was Shi Qian. Meng Qing rummaged through the documents on the desk. A few days ago, someone handed her a document saying that the Meng family could try to get involved in the game industry.
After the competition, Guan Mo and the others went out for a nice meal. Everyone drank quite a bit of alcohol and slept until 3 p.m.
After getting up, Guan Mo shook his head, picked up his phone, and saw several missed calls. He dialed them back.
At first, when the other party said it was the Meng Group, Guan Mo thought it was a scam call. Later, someone actually came to the club to talk to him about investment.
Perhaps because of his unexpected victory in this competition, which made him famous, the people from the Meng Group were very easy to talk to. They agreed to all of Guan Mo's requests, saying they would only provide the money and would not interfere in other matters.
Could there really be such a good thing in the world? Guan Mo and the other members discussed it and decided to accept the investment from the Meng Group.
The Meng Group was also very generous, directly transferring a large sum of money to the club after the contract was signed, and also providing the club with a new base in a better location, larger in size, and with better equipment.
Shi Qian didn't check his phone until he got back to his dorm that night. He saw that Guan Mo had transferred a large sum of money to him and sent him several WeChat messages.
Guan Mo said that because of winning the game, the club has now found an investor. Guan Mo sent Shi Qian a contract, making Shi Qian one of the shareholders of the Island Whale Club, so that he can get a lot of dividends from the club's profits in the future.
Shi Qian, of course, wouldn't complain about having too much money, and replied with "Okay".
Shi Qian has had a burst of inspiration these past few days, which has accelerated the progress of his papers. He sent the two completed papers and the ideas for the new paper to Yue Lang.
Yue Lang was still away on a business trip. He didn't expect Shi Qian to make such a fast progress. He said he would take a look as soon as he got back in a couple of days.
Shi Qian wasn't in a hurry and replied "okay," continuing to go to the lab as usual these past few days.
Shi Qian's new paper has a rather complex model, which the current computer processors cannot support, so he has to go to the computer room on the fifth floor to operate it.
Fortunately, Yue Lang granted him the highest level of access, allowing Shi Qian to swipe his card directly to enter.
After Shi Qian finished writing all the code, he received a call from Zhong Ran, who said there was a problem with the project data and asked him to come and take a look.
Shi Qian thought that it was downstairs, and the data would take a while to process. He hadn't seen anyone else in the server room these past few days, so leaving for a while wouldn't be a big problem. He replied to Zhong Ran, "I'll go now."
As soon as Shi Qian went downstairs, a figure suddenly darted out from outside the fifth-floor server room.
