YM778.TV Chapter 880: Si Fuqing: Accounts? Here's a Few (2)
Moved, he said, “Miss Si, you are so good to Brother Nine, loving him and everything associated with him.”
“The boss is also good to me,” Si Fuqing replied, completely missing the underlying message in Xi Jiang’s words. “Besides, it’s just an account, not worth much.”
“It’s worth a lot,” Xi Jiang’s protested. “If sold, it could fetch a great price.”
Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow. “Too bad it can’t be sold. Keep it safe and don’t let anyone else find out.”
Xi Jiang nodded seriously. “I will.”
He held onto the piece of paper, grinning like an idiot.
Twenty minutes later, Feng San entered, pushing a wheelchair.
Yu Xiheng turned his head to look at Xi Jiang.
“Brother Nine!” Xi Jiang stood at attention and loudly said, “Miss Si gave me an Eternity account. May I request a pod from you?”
Yu Xiheng’s eyebrow twitched slightly at this. “You’ve latched onto quite the powerful thigh (1).”
Feng San’s fingers trembled as he pointed at Xi Jiang, shouting angrily, “You little rascal! You gained sympathy by playing the victim!”
He was the one who had known Miss Si first!
Xi Jiang had initially been reluctant to lose twelve months’ worth of salary, so how had he now managed to surpass him?
This was too much!
Unfazed, Xi Jiang retorted, “I wasn’t playing the victim. If you want one, just ask Miss Si yourself.”
Feng San, fuming, turned to Si Fuqing. “Miss Si, look at him.”
“Fine, fine,” Si Fuqing said, fetching another account. “Here you go. I can’t play favorites with Brother Nine’s people.”
The term “Brother Nine” made Yu Xiheng’s hand pause again.
He lifted his eyes without a change in expression.
Si Fuqing, propping her chin, spoke slowly, “I’m not like them. I think this nickname brings us closer, boss. We’ve known each other for so long, no need to be so formal, right Brother Nine?”
Yu Xiheng’s eyelashes lowered, and after a few seconds, he smiled. “Yes, my lady.”
Feng San coughed twice. “Brother Nine, I also request…”
Yu Xiheng replied indifferently, “You’ll all get one. They’ll be brought in a few days.”
Feng San and Xi Jiang left happily to arrange a fight.
“Being young is great,” Si Fuqing remarked, holding the milk tea Yu Xiheng had bought her. “Such small things make them so happy.”
Yu Xiheng lifted his head.
His eyes were deep and vast, like the ocean, exuding a powerful allure.
One could get lost in them.
For a moment, Si Fuqing was captivated by his gaze, then she snapped back to reality, muttering softly, “Why does a man need to be so good-looking? It’s a good thing you’re not in the entertainment industry; otherwise, I’d be out of a job.”
Anyone vying for her work was her enemy.
Yu Xiheng’s eyes held a trace of amusement as he looked back at her. “What did you say?”
Si Fuqing replied calmly, “I said your hearing is poor, you can’t hear anything.”
Yu Xiheng didn’t deny it. “You’ve learned some bad habits.”
Si Fuqing drank her milk tea seriously.
Suddenly, Yu Xiheng turned around, “Want to play a game?”
Si Fuqing blinked, “Oracle?”
“Mhmm.” Yu Xiheng, resting his head on his hand, signaled Chen Ying to bring over two gaming laptops. “A new dungeon is going to be released tonight.”
Si Fuqing’s eyes sparkled as she sat beside him. “Let’s go for the first kill. I’ll carry you.”
They logged into the game.
The combination of a white-robed bard and a swordsman was striking.
Especially with the gleaming titles above their heads.
It was hard for other players not to notice.
[Current][PigsFlyintheSky]: Whoa, it’s NINE the God and Jiu the God! I knew they were close, NINE the God acts all cute around Jiu the God now.
[Current][MyWifeisSiFuqing, BackOff]: Open your eyes, clearly, NINE the God is on top. When NINE the God tells Jiu the God to go west, Jiu the God wouldn’t dare go east.
As soon as this message appeared, a chord rang out, followed by a system prompt.
[Player “MyWifeisSiFuqing, BackOff” has been slain.]
Players: “…”
Someone nervously typed.
[Current][DoubleNineFan]: Did Nine kill because his manly pride was challenged?
[Current][LayingFlatByBeingALazyFish]: So Jiu the God is actually on top.
Si Fuqing: “…”
Did they think she was blind and couldn’t see this discussion?
She turned to Yu Xiheng, “Brother Nine, they’re talking nonsense.”
“Indeed, it’s nonsense,” Yu Xiheng put down his tea cup, raised an eyebrow at her, and said slowly, “For instance, if you tell me to go west, but there’s a milk tea shop to the east, I might go east to buy you a milk tea.”
Si Fuqing: “…”
Why did he make her sound like such a bully?
Truly a black-hearted monster.
**
Once again, NINE the God and Jiu the God secured the first kill in the new Oracle dungeon, surprising no one.
Kill, the top professional player, was no match for the two gods.
In e-sports, being unskilled was the greatest sin, and only the strong were revered.
Though NINE the God and Jiu the God hadn’t revealed themselves, they had garnered a massive global following.
A forum post quickly gained traction.
[Topic]: OMG, NINE the God said he’s going to Eastern Mulberry to watch the competition! Jiu the God said he’ll follow NINE the God’s command!
The first reply featured a picture.
It showed the responses of the two gods, looking very much like a couple.
Replies quickly surpassed a thousand.
[Excited! Excited! We’ll finally see NINE the God in person! He must be super handsome!]
[No way, he’s definitely a NEET, not handsome at all.]
[The gods going will scare the wits out of the Western Deities team. I bet they’re hiding in one of the teams.]
Simultaneously, the Oracle official website released the list of teams qualified for this year’s OPL finals.
The Great Xia Empire had six teams in the finals.
Besides the top-ranked Galaxy team from Great Xia, which unsurprisingly took the highest points in the regional semi-finals, the Five States team also drew a lot of attention.
[Si Fuqing is amazing, bringing the Five States team back to life and even recruiting some good talents. It’s a pity she’s been busy recording variety shows and hasn’t played a second match. I wonder if she’ll be in the finals.]
[Ahhh, my goddess is the best! She can do anything! Looking forward to her winning the championship!]
[Not to be a buzzkill, but some of you so-called e-sports fans are just seasonal, right? You only watched this year’s OPL and don’t realize how tough the finals are.
Galaxy team is strong, ranked first in the Great Xia region, but their best result in the finals was third place. Their average APM was 460! They lost to the Western Deities team. Don’t get your hopes up for the championship; Si Fuqing is still far from the top professional players.]
[Indeed, unless Si Fuqing can recruit GOD the God and Nine the God, which is impossible.]
In Sijiu City, at the Galaxy team’s training base.
The captain was reviewing all the teams qualified for this year’s OPL finals, formulating strategies.
“Captain, all the buzz is about the Five States team,” one of the team members said angrily. “Si Fuqing is a big star in the entertainment world; why does she have to join the e-sports scene too?”
“Her fans are all brainless, claiming she’ll win the championship. They truly don’t understand e-sports.”
The Oracle Professional League was highly demanding in terms of skill, and team coordination was crucial. One weak link could ruin everything.
Winning the championship was no easy feat.
“Her skills are decent, better than some streamers, and there’s nothing wrong with her competing,” the captain said calmly. “But aiming for the top four is a bit much.”
The team member added, “Yes, this year, Eastern Mulberry and the Western Continent are very strong. Even we can’t guarantee a top-four finish. The Five States team only has Jingzhou and a newcomer, Jiang Changfeng. How can she expect to reach the top four? Unless she brings in NINE the God and Nine the God.”
