Chapter 1280: End Game (20)

There was a group of college students from a neighboring university in the internet cafe. When they heard this, they crowded around the screens at once to watch the match.

The team did a warm-up and prepared to show off.

Qiao Lian looked at them and sighed softly.

At this point, Shen Liangchuan approached her and, in a low voice, asked her, “What’s going on?”

Qiao Lian told him what was happening.

His expression darkened.

After a moment, he smiled icily and stood behind the players. He told her, “They will not go all out for sure in this match. So we can watch and get an idea of how strong these players are.”

Sighing, Qiao Lian said, “I don’t think these students will be able to push the opponent to play at their true level.”

Shen Liangchuan narrowed his eyes at those words and replied, “Let’s watch.”

Qiao Lian started to speak, but then fell silent again. Shen Liangchuan asked, “What’s the matter?”

In a low voice, she said, “Because of King’s remarks, the eSports circle is now paying close attention. If country H wins this game, I fear it will affect everyone’s morale.”

Shen Liangchuan narrowed his eyes at those words.

Then he cast his gaze down.

Qiao Lian continued in anguish, “I know that country H is indeed setting the standard in the eSports world, but I can’t stand their derisive att.i.tude towards us. ESports was only officially recognized as a sport recently. Until then, our country had never recognized it as a sport and it was misunderstood by people. It has been only a few years and we’ve already developed teams that play at such a high standard. So what are these people so overly arrogant about?

These young people were on fire and full of vigor, just like how they themselves had been provoked by the country H players into starting an eSports’ team club years ago, to bring glory to their own nation.

As Qiao Lian said these words, the match began.

She fell silent immediately and stood behind one of the players, anxiously watching the match’s progress.

The group of college students clearly had from average to high-level players, and they were adequately skilled in maneuvering. But their level was far from professional.

Typically, the game would start with the players developing their power by farming minions.

Hence five of the players went to their own lanes, and the jungler went to hunt in the jungle to develop his champion.

While the mid player was killing minions, he suddenly heard a cry, “d.a.m.n!”

Then he saw on the map that four enemies had appeared in their own jungle.

And then…

“Freaking h.e.l.l!”

The jungler was killed, blood was spilled.

Seeing that the situation was not quite right, the mid player ran in that direction. Just as he did so, Qiao Lian shouted the order, “Come back here quickly!”

When the mid players heard her voice, he turned around straightaway to look at Qiao Lian.

In that one moment of distraction, the screen displayed something and they heard, “Slayed.”

It was the top players being killed for das.h.i.+ng over to provide support.

After he was killed, the player immediately berated him, “Mid lane, what are you doing? Didn’t you see us? You should’ve come over to support us!”

The mid player scratched his head after being scolded and then glanced at Qiao Lian, saying, “Just watch the match. Do you have to make comments?”

Qiao Lian frowned.

The mid player said, “This lady behind me was shouting for me to come back and I got a fright. Wasn’t I just about to rush over?”

Someone else who was watching the match spoke up, “She was shouting for you not to go over, that was not wrong. Didn’t you see that although the opponent didn’t have a lot of hp, he was at Level 2? Going up against him would have only killed you.”
