Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Lian had come for the sole reason of investigating the identity of the man in the picture on the tombstone. Hence, she was nonchalant about letting the people know that she was Xiao Qiao.
She had nothing to hide.
The group chatted and joked around. The atmosphere in the private room became casual and bustling again.
The guests were all lauding each other’s accomplishments as they talked.
The competitive team was still there, but out of the 20-odd people in the room, almost half of them did not play video games anymore.
Those who persisted had also taken a step back and took it as a form of entertainment now.
Of course, gaming itself was a type of entertainment.
The captain was considerably emotional. He said, “When one gets old, things really become impossible.These games are for 25-year-old youngsters. A few days ago, I joined other players to play one round and I lost pathetically!”
“Hahaha, Captain, you’re in your thirties, I’m sure you can’t beat that bunch! The young people nowadays get better and better.”
“We’re old and about to be obsolete.”
“Sheesh, ultimately, it is down to the individual’s ability. Look at Xiao Qiao, isn’t she still as good of a player today?”
Qiao Lian immediately looked up.
Someone else said, “I’ve seen Purple Fairy play a few games. Although she’s not bad, it’s nowhere near her previous standards. No matter what, she has aged.”
Qiao Lian then realized that the fact that she was Xiao Qiao was not something that had been publicly announced.
So they still thought that Purple Fairy was Xiao Qiao?
As this thought crossed her mind, the man sitting next to her said, “Hi, how do you do? I’m from the team and my nickname is San Lang.” He was a delicately good-looking young man in his mid-twenties.
San Lang?
Qiao Lian raised an eyebrow at once.
She remembered how they used to laugh at his handle all the time.
She remembered him to be a shy boy. During calls in the past, she had heard his voice.
What she saw before her and the voice she remembered matched quite well.
Qiao Lian smiled at him and said, “So it’s you!”
San Lang’s eyes lit up with surprise. “You know me?”
The girl sitting on the other side of San Lang immediately said, “Who doesn’t know you? You’re a top player in Lot. When we played ranked, you were even among the top 20. Sigh... and now, you don’t even help us girls score and fight.”
The young man scratched his head, saying, “It’s been busy at work lately.”
He looked at Qiao Lian and asked, “Which champion do you like to play?”
Which champion did she like?
“Xiao Qiao.”
Of course, she liked Xiao Qiao the most.
San Lang laughed and said, “Xiao Qiao is pretty, all you girls like that champion. My expertise is Xiao Qiao too!”
He said that with an expression that was full of pride.
The girl next to him laughed at once. “Right, right. You’re Xicheng district’s number one Xiao Qiao!”
San Lang laughed at her words and humbly said, “Actually, my skills are just modest.”
He took out his cell phone and said, “Can we be gaming friends? At some point, I can lead you in a few matches.”
The girl laughed heartily and teased him, “Oh, look at that, San Lang chooses who he leads in games. Some of us are probably not pretty enough, that’s why he doesn’t have time to lead us, is that right?”
It was a harmless jest, but San Lang turned scarlet.
He cleared his throat and said, “Of course not. Of course I’ll lead you too!”
After saying that, he looked at Qiao Lian again and inquired, “So your gaming ID is...?”
Qiao Lian muttered a string of numbers.
San Lang entered this into the search field and added, “Great, I’ll add you as a friend-”
Before he could finish what he was saying, the search loaded the ID associated with the number and his eyes suddenly widened with shock. He looked at her in disbelief.
