Chapter 193: Regretful, Very Regretful

Stunned, the coach took a moment to realize that these were Qin Ran’s friends from just now in the lounge.

“Miss Qin, you guys talk, I’ll go back for the interview.” The coach had also been invited for the interview. He would return for it after sending Qin Ran back to the lounge.

But since Cheng Juan and the others were here, he didn’t follow Qin Ran further.

Instead, he went back to Yi Jiming and the others who were being interviewed.

WAT’s coach was still inside his lounge.

But the WAT players were there.

Lung heard them talking and also glanced at Qin Ran. There wasn’t a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and he seemed rather excited to have found a worthy competitor instead. “I hope I can fight against you and Yang Fei next time!”

 1Qin Ran was speechless. Next time, she wouldn’t be playing.

After the coach and the players of Team WAT had left, Cheng Mu’s originally paralyzed face finally relaxed.

He thought of Qin Ran’s words… Explain? How could she explain this?!

Lu Zhaoying had felt light-headed ever since Qin Ran boarded her account.

Where was the Qin Ran whom he trusted in, whom he believed only played with the auxiliary cards and didn’t have particularly high accumulated points?

Why did she suddenly become a big boss from the First District who gave three God cards to Master Juan?

When was she so exceptional with the attack card to even escape alive after killing Lung?!

When Lu Zhaoying saw Qin Ran for the first time, he had felt an inexplicable sense of trust in her, so he had accepted her into the school doctor’s office without even checking with Cheng Juan.

He had been steadfast towards her.

As overly-concerned as Lu Zhaoying was… he never thought Qin Ran would deceive him so badly!

 1Lu Zhaoying felt dizzy and had yet to come to his senses. Perhaps he was facing karma from gloating too hard over Jiang Dongye’s misfortune previously.

 1However, Cheng Juan was smiling as he leaned to one side and nodded. His dark eyes were focused on her, and after a while, he nodded and said in amusement, “Well, tell us.”

“I started playing this game the moment it began, and I think… my score was quite high, so someone invited me to play professionally,” Qin Ran said.

Cheng Mu felt like Qin Ran spoke too lightly of it. As if any other human could also play professionally.

The corner of his mouth curled up in a smile again.

Cheng Juan nodded and narrowed his eyes at her. “Continue.”

“I already retired, but the former coach of OST didn’t strike out my name!” Cheng Juan raised an eyebrow at her, his eyes light and misty. Qin Ran finally lowered her head and stopped struggling to give excuses.

There were staff members everywhere after the game.

Cheng Juan nodded, squeezed his hands, and took a lot of effort to suppress himself. He glanced at her lightly and said, “Go to the lounge first.”

Inexplicably, Qin Ran felt he was telling her to continue the conversation later.

In the interview area.

Both the host and the commentator were there.

“God Yi, may I ask, where did you find the godly team member?!” The host looked behind and felt extremely disappointed that Qin Ran wasn’t there.

He wasn’t the only one disappointed. The netizens who had stayed for the live broadcast were also extremely bummed.

Everyone had thought that Team OST would surely lose this time without Yang Fei.

After all, there were two newcomers. One had never played in the official arena, and the other wasn’t even a trainee.

The netizens’ odds of 9.9 to 1 wasn’t a joke.

In the end, Qin Ran’s outbreak took Lung away directly. In all fairness, Lung really didn’t go easy on her, even if she was a newcomer.

Thus, taking away two of his cards in such a situation was enough to show Qin Ran’s control over her cards and her ability to calculate her moves.

Her outbreak was needless to say.

Anyone who could play Kyushu Tour knew that even if Yang Fei wanted to take away Lung’s cards, he might not be able to retreat safely.

Lung’s stability and strength were well-known.

No matter which game it was, he could rise to his maximum potential.

On several occasions, the victory between Yang Fei and Lung had only been determined by a thin line.

Nobody would think that Lung didn’t perform well or had gone easy on his opponent.

Someone once lamented that if Lung had debuted a few years earlier or later than Yang Fei, things would have been different. With his ability, he was also considered a person destined to have his own era.

But now, not only was there Yang Fei in OST, but there was also this newcomer, QR. Team OST was already undefeated in Kyushu Tour, so who could compete with them now?

Not only the host and the commentator wanted to know who this QR was.

Many netizens in front of the screen were burning with curiosity as well.

“Newcomer?” Yi Jiming shook his head and laughed. “She’s not a newcomer. She joined the team at the same time as us, but something happened, so she didn’t continue. Something happened to Sun God today, so she had no choice but to come forward. In the future, there will be few opportunities like this, so of course, I would also like to thank Sun God.”

 1Yang Fei, who was watching the live broadcast in Gu Xichi’s laboratory, was speechless. He glanced over at his Weibo.

A second ago, his fans had still been crying and asking him where he was, what he was doing, and if he was okay.

But the next second, his Weibo was spammed with “Thank you, Sun God”, “Sun God, you can disappear a few more times in the future”, and “Could you please force her to play more often?”

 4Although this was what Yang Fei wanted to see as well, it was still a little unbearable at this time and he was rendered speechless. Were these really his beloved fans?

Of course, the one who capitalized the most from this incident were those who had placed their beans on the 9.9 odds before the game.

Those who had placed all their net worth on Team WAT changed drastically. They regretted it, they regretted it very much. Why did they not believe in Team OST’s ability?

The netizens had yet to calm down even after the interview with Team OST.

People posted questions on Team OST’s official website, on Yi Jiming’s Weibo, and on Yang Fei’s Weibo, etc.

[What’s the Weibo of that younger sister just now?]

After a long while, someone emerged and said something.

[Do you all remember that Sun God mentioned @qr a month ago…]

The coach and the others came back.

Lu Zhaoying was still sitting in a daze in front of Yang Fei’s computer, thinking about life.

 1Cheng Mu was slightly better off.

“But you said your rank wasn’t enough to match with me?” Lu Zhaoying stared at Qin Ran.

 2Qin Ran wasn’t guilty at all. “I have twenty stars at the Supreme level, so only a one-star on the Supreme level can play as a duo with me. If I play as a duo with you, I will have to fall to the Guru level. I’m indeed not enough in rank, so I didn’t lie to you.”

Lu Zhaoying was speechless and he felt like his heart had been slashed again.

“You already knew that Master Juan was your friend in the game?” Lu Zhaoying wasn’t quite clear and suddenly remembered the moment when Qin Ran had paused after first logging into Cheng Juan’s account.

Qin Ran coughed and didn’t respond self-righteously anymore.

In the end, she couldn’t bear it and promised to send Lu Zhaoying three God cards. Pulling a sad face, Lu Zhaoying eventually nodded and expressed his generosity in forgiving her.

 3Cheng Juan raised an eyebrow at him but didn’t say anything.

Coincidentally, Yi Jiming and the others opened the door and came in at this moment.

“Where’s that Yan?” Qin Ran stood up from the chair and narrowed her eyes slightly.

The coach already had his suspicions since before the game, but he had been focused on the game and had not said anything to Yan. Now that Qin Ran mentioned it, he nodded slightly. “He’s in the other lounge.”

Qin Ran nodded and smiled, but her eyes were cold. She lifted her chin towards the coach and said, “Let’s go.”

Yi Jiming made a phone call to Yang Fei and was relieved to hear that he was okay now.

After hearing Qin Ran’s conversation with the coach, he pursed his lips with dark eyes and a solemn expression. “Let’s go and find him.”

The coach didn’t hear this, but he had heard what Cheng Juan said before.

If not for God Qin’s friend, Yang Fei would have been taken to the hospital, and his left hand would continue to suffer from some repercussions…

For an eSports player, this was enough to destroy all his attack skills!

Inside OST’s lounge.

Yan didn’t play nor go to the auditorium. He just sat in front of the broadcast screen in the lounge to watch the game.

After seeing the coach behave so calmly, he had thought that the drug didn’t have an effect on Yang Fei.

It wasn’t until Qin Ran and the others came on stage that he realized that Yang Fei had indeed been drugged.

Yan almost laughed at that time. He didn’t know Qin Ran, but he knew Xiao Yu and knew that he alone wasn’t an opponent of Lung at all.

In his mind, he believed that OST would lose within half an hour.

Unexpectedly, the game didn’t go on for half an hour, because within twenty minutes, Qin Ran had ended the battle.

She had used the Nüwa card more proficiently than Yang Fei!

Yan felt like his sight had blackened. He listened to Yi Jiming’s post-match interview and picked up his phone to scroll through Weibo.

Following the netizens, he found Yang Fei’s Weibo post almost effortlessly.

Her hand speed was faster than Yang Fei’s; Yang Fei wanted to be on the same stage; she was once a member of OST; she was a great God that held three God cards in the first district.

Everything pointed in the same direction.

Yan wasn’t in that group of netizens. He was in the industry and naturally knew much more than ordinary netizens. He also knew that the three God cards had not been developed by the team, but by one person…
