Chapter Six
Choosing courses is fun for a while, but doing homework is a nightmare.
The result of her packed schedule was that Zhou Qiao had classes from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day, plus an online class on Saturdays. Forget about playing games, she barely had time to eat.
So much so that she only heard about "Huang Shaotian challenging Jun Moxiao with his sword" from her roommate.
Zhou Qiao felt regretful for missing the excitement and then started harassing Ye Xiu.
Online dating, choose me, I'm super sweet: Send me the video, send me the video, send me the video, send me the video.
Jun Moxiao: Okay, stop arguing.
After painstakingly downloading the video using the library's internet, Zhou Qiao studied the match recording of Ye Yushengfan and Jun Moxiao in between finishing her thesis.
Those who hear it are heartbroken and those who see it are moved to tears. Zhou Qiao has to submit eight papers on different topics before the midterm, each 3,000 words long and handwritten.
Zhou Qiao: Thanks for the invitation, but I can no longer write.
One day, while Zhou Qiao was struggling with her thesis, Yan Yu received a skill book guide from Ye Xiu and helped her marksman log in to do quests.
Little Leaf Chirps: So pitiful.
Little Leaf Chirp: [Screenshot: You have been removed from the guild by Zhongcaotang]
Little Leaf Chirp: What kind of princess are you, banished to the cold palace?
Little Leaf Chirping: [Little Crocodile Crying.jpg]
Xiao Qiao needs to work hard to become stronger: How did the Eldest Princess get banished to the Cold Palace? Wake up!
Then Zhou Qiao took this screenshot, erased the ID, and posted it on her WeChat Moments.
Xiao Qiao needs to work hard to become stronger: Big guilds are really strict! TVT
When Zhou Qiao checked her phone again that evening, besides messages comforting her and asking about her server and inviting her to join their friends' guild, there was also a hundred-word message from Huang Shaotian that seemed to have its own background music, hahaha.
Xiao Qiao replied: You're disturbing my eyes.
I really want to block you. Reply: You look so pitiful, come to our Blue Creek Pavilion.
Xiao Qiao wants to work harder to become stronger. Her reply was: "Do you get to decide that?"
I really want to block you! Reply: You idiot! Are you lurking too?!
Xiao Qiao wants to work harder to become stronger. (Reply: ?)
Wang Jiexi commented with an ellipsis.
Xiao Qiao replied: Things have changed, and everything is over; before I can speak, tears flow.
The user "鹅不食草" replied: What's your ID?
Xiao Qiao, striving to become stronger, replied: "Is Captain Wang going to give me special treatment?" [Starry-eyed emoji]
The user "鹅不食草" replied: Yes.
Zhou Qiao didn't take Wang Jiexi's words seriously and, like Ye Xiu, added the skill "Righteous Slaying the World".
One day, unbeknownst to Zhou Qiao, her alternate account was added to the Happy esports team's QQ group and even granted the position of administrator.
So when she logged into her alternate account, she was bombarded with group messages.
Online dating: I'm super sweet if you choose me: What kind of group is this?
Jun Moxiao: Oh, Xiaoxiao is online.
Jun Moxiao: @Yicunhui, come here, let me introduce you. This is the former operator of Wangjiangnan, Princess Xiao Xiao of Tiny Herb.
"Choose me for online dating, I'm super sweet": Damn it! Why are you saying this too!
Jun Moxiao: This is indeed a joke my sister told me.
"Choose me for online dating, I'm super sweet": So cold.
A Touch of Ash: Senior Xiao Xiao!
Online dating: I'm super sweet! Oh dear, this is the first time someone has called me "senior," I feel a little embarrassed.
Jun Moxiao: @Online Dating Pick Me, I'm Super Sweet. Check the group announcement, admins should set a good example.
Marquis of Nevernight: Okay, I've changed it.
Zhou Qiao received a friend request from Yi Cun Hui.
A Tin of Ash: Good evening, senior.
Online dating: I'm super sweet if you choose me: It's too formal and makes me so embarrassed qwq, just call me Xiaoxiao.
One Inch of Ash: Okay, Sister Xiaoxiao.
Online dating? Choose me, I'm super sweet: emmmmm
"Choose me for online dating, I'm super sweet": ...Never mind.
Online dating: Is Yinwu from Wangjiangnan still longing for love?
An Inch of Ash: Yes.
Online dating: I'm super sweet if you choose me: Thank you for your hard work.
Online dating? Choose me, I'm super sweet! [pat on the head.jpg]
The Acacia is a very special silver weapon: it has two forms, a dagger and dual swords. Neither form has particularly outstanding attributes, but because it can switch between forms, Zhou Qiao still chose the Acacia as the equipment for the Looking South of the River.
As an assassin who likes to take unconventional approaches, Zhou Qiao knows that Wang Jiangnan's four-dimensional attributes are quite peculiar. Her hasty retirement did not result in the training of a successor for the team. Now, Qiao Yifan, who looks very well-behaved at first glance and was trained in the championship team's training camp, has taken over Wang Jiangnan, this rebellious assassin. Just thinking about it makes me want to shed a handful of bitter tears for him.

The semester ended quickly. When Zhou Qiao finished submitting her last elective course assignment, the league season was nearing its end. Samsara and Blue Rain would determine the champion of the eighth season after the finals.
Roommate B struggled for a long time between studying and watching the live stream, but ultimately decided to watch the live stream.
Zhou Qiao borrowed an earphone from her, and the two watched the game together.
After the team match, Team Samsara led 7.5-2. Roommate B took a long time to calmly refocus on her textbooks, then noticed Zhou Qiao packing her things.
Are you going out so late?
"Okay, I'll stay at the apartment for one night."
"What's wrong?" Roommate B asked with concern, noticing Zhou Qiao's slightly gloomy expression.
"It's nothing." Zhou Qiao put her textbook into her bag and smiled at her.
Yan Yu was startled when she entered the house. She had booked a flight to G City at the last minute and came to the apartment to pick up her documents, but she didn't expect Zhou Qiao to be sitting on the carpet in the living room, with several opened bottles of peach blossom wine that she had bought earlier on the coffee table.
Yan Yu walked up to Zhou Qiao and found that she looked normal; her face was not red, her eyes were not wet, and her breathing was steady.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
Zhou Qiao leaned back on the sofa, staring blankly at the brightly colored liquid in the glass bottle: "I'm not happy."
Yan Yu then noticed that Zhou Qiao already had an empty bottle beside him. However, peach blossom wine is a low-alcohol beverage, so it shouldn't be a problem. Thinking this, Yan Yu gave him a word of advice and then took her documents and left.
Zhou Qiao was woken up by her alarm clock. The moment she woke up, the aches and pains from sleeping in a contorted position on the floor all night attacked her, causing massive damage, HP-999. She lay flat on the floor for a while before pulling herself up to sit on the sofa.
Five empty glass bottles lay haphazardly on the floor. She rubbed her forehead and recalled for a moment that she had come to the apartment to drink because she was so depressed after watching the game last night.
"Help!" She buried her head in the sofa cushions. "Am I an idiot? What am I doing?"
The alarm clock rang again. Zhou Qiao pulled her phone from under the sofa, unlocked it, and found that the screen showed her WeChat chat with Wang Jiexi. She stared at the message that showed a voice call duration of 2 hours and 28 minutes for a long time, then clicked on the other person's profile picture. It was indeed Wang Jiexi, whom she had saved as "Goose Doesn't Eat Grass".
"Let me die, I don't want to live anymore." Zhou Qiao buried her head under the cushion again, trying to escape reality.
*
Goose Doesn't Eat Grass: Laughing, the magician's change in playstyle brought the team two championships. Although you may see it as a sacrifice, it was a change I made based on the team's needs.
The geese don't eat grass: This victory in the cycle of reincarnation was somewhat accidental. Only a team can bring consistent victories.
Xiao Qiao wants to become stronger: I'm sorry, Captain Wang, I drank too much yesterday and talked nonsense, I'm sorry for causing you trouble.
Goose Doesn't Eat Grass: Smile, no need to be so polite with me.
Wang Jiexi replied instantly.
Because Wang Jiexi generously expressed that he didn't mind, Zhou Qiao immediately showed the former captain what it meant to take advantage of someone's kindness.
She sent him a screenshot of the nickname she had given him in her phone.
Xiao Qiao needs to work hard to become stronger: Isn't the antithesis very neat?
Xiao Qiao needs to work hard to become stronger: /smug/smug/smug
Geese don't eat grass: [Screenshot: Note: Xiao is five years old]
Geese don't eat grass: I overestimated you; you can't be more than three years old.
Xiao Qiao needs to work harder to become stronger: [You'll lose me if you keep doing this.jpg]
Xiao Qiao needs to work harder to become stronger: [At your current level, you're only good for sweeping the streets in Tiny Herb.jpg]
Xiao Qiao needs to work hard to become stronger: [Image of a green hat from Wang Buliuxing]
[Xiao Qiao retracted a message, indicating she needs to work harder to become stronger.]
Geese don't eat grass: ...
Geese don't eat grass: [My king's disdain.jpg]
Zhou Qiao now understands once again why everyone says magicians are unpredictable. Who would have thought Wang Jiexi would use the mismatched-eyes emoji?
The afternoon was the last professional course exam. Zhou Qiao flipped through her textbook one last time before the exam to calm herself down after being frightened by Wang Jiexi.
...As a result, when writing down my name, I wrote Wang Jiexi. When I handed in my paper, the proctor pulled me out of the exam room. When the teacher asked in a serious tone, "Which student changed their name to Wang Jiexi?" the exam room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Roommate A looked at Zhou Qiao with starry eyes: "I didn't expect you to be a fan of our King too!"
Zhou Qiao said solemnly, "No, if I had to say, I would be Mordred."
Roommate A was dumbfounded: "Huh?"
"In short, I will never be a fan of that horrible man."
"Huh?"
The second match of the finals was held in Blue Rain's home city, G City. Because of their home advantage, Zhou Qiao was very confident that Blue Rain would make a comeback. After all, Yu Wenzhou was one of the four key players. As long as Huang Shaotian could defend the arena, it was still uncertain who would win the team match.
Then she saw Zhou Zekai make his first appearance in the individual competition.
When Yu Feng was sent off the field by Zhou Zekai, Zhou Qiao knew that the game was over.
Outside the dormitory, someone shouted, "We are the champions—", while roommate B sat in front of the screen, silently shedding tears.
At this moment, human joys and sorrows are not shared.
Xiao Qiao wants to become stronger: Are you okay?
Little Leaf Chirping: Is it okay to be a Zhou Zekai hater for a day?
Xiao Qiao wants to work harder to become stronger: Haha, I've always been his hater.
Little Leaf Chirping: I might stay in G City for a few more days, what are your plans?
Xiao Qiao wants to become stronger: She'll be working on a project with her supervisor in mid-July. She signed up because it could be used for her graduation internship.
Xiao Qiao needs to work hard to become stronger: She hasn't decided yet in the last few days.
Little Leaf Chirping: Aren't you going to Happy?
Xiao Qiao wants to work harder to become stronger: Going is fine too, it's all about the same.
Little Leaf Chirp: Speaking of internet cafes, does nobody know you changed your name?
Xiao Qiao wants to work hard to become stronger: Oh, haven't I mentioned this to anyone?
Xiao Qiao wants to work hard to become stronger: It's okay, with Ye Shen's excellent example, no one will care about a nobody like me.
Focus fire on that sharpshooter: LOL ...
Xiao Qiao wants to become stronger: You're disturbing my eyes.
Focus fire on that sharpshooter: Waaah, so cruel, brother is heartbroken.
Focus fire on that sharpshooter: [Photo: Champion keyboard and mouse]
Focus fire on that sharpshooter: /smug/smug/smug
Focus fire on that sharpshooter: Want him or not?
Xiao Qiao wants to work hard to become stronger: What's so great about that? Everyone has their own pride.
Focus fire on that sharpshooter: Brother worked really hard to get this this year!
Focus fire on that sharpshooter: We really can't let our guard down for even a second. / Clenched fist
Focus fire on that sharpshooter: Xiaoxiao, can you praise me?
Xiao Qiao wants to become stronger: Get lost.
Focus fire on that sharpshooter: So cold-hearted, sob sob.
Focus fire on that sharpshooter: I'm officially on vacation tomorrow!
Xiao Qiao needs to work hard to become stronger: I have to work on a project with my teacher, I don't have time.
Focus fire on that sharpshooter: I can live near your school!
Xiao Qiao wants to become stronger: I live with my wife.
Focus fire on that sharpshooter: *sobs*
Xiao Qiao needs to work hard to become stronger: You should rest well during your vacation.
Zhou Qiao clicked on the photo and zoomed in. The keyboard and mouse awarded as a prize for winning the league championship weren't things that could be measured in economic value. Zhou Qiao had indeed owned such a set before.
But she left all these things in her dorm when she retired, and they should have been thrown away as trash long ago.
"It's okay, I just need to win another championship," Zhou Qiao encouraged herself.
