Chapter 1 My Very Own Girlfriend

"My Very Own Girlfriend" is a TV drama series currently airing on all major TV stations for the past three weeks, topping various viewership charts and sweeping across countless viewers. Chen Guo isn't too obsessed with these things, but at least she's aware of it. But the dignified captain of Team Misty Rain, the number one female player, allowing her emotions to be affected by not being able to watch the finale right away, struck Chen Guo as absurd. Could this also be explained by "care leads to chaos?"

Having grasped this intelligence, Chu Yunxiu's mentality is easy to analyze. Her mind simply isn't on this event, so of course she has no mood to bother with Zhao Yuzhe's provocations, and her sudden outburst now is just an emotional release over not being able to see the finale, not because of Zhao Yuzhe's provocation. Thinking that this is some kind of psychological warfare tactic by Chu Yunxiu is overthinking it.

The sudden burst of attacks clearly stunned Zhao Yuzhe. An Elementalist's map-wide bombardment is almost impossible to dodge. Chu Yunxiu's skills are highly proficient, and she's familiar with the Elementalist class, so her predictions about Zhao Yuzhe's reactions are mostly accurate, giving Zhao Yuzhe the feeling of being trapped in the palm of the Buddha.

He had been expecting Chu Yunxiu to be serious, but she was listless, which greatly disappointed him.

But now the other party was fighting with extraordinary abandon, so much so that Zhao Yuzhe wasn't mentally prepared at all. Zhao Yuzhe wanted to cry but had no tears!

"How insidious..." This was Zhao Yuzhe's assessment of Chu Yunxiu. He could never have imagined that not being able to see the finale of a TV drama could cause this.

Zhao Yuzhe tried every possible way to escape Chu Yunxiu's barrage, but Xiao Linghu's health had been reduced by nearly a quarter. It won't be easy to turn the game around from such a disadvantage, but Zhao Yuzhe is still actively trying to adjust his mindset. If he can accomplish something that is not easy, won't that prove his value even more?

But Chu Yunxiu's condition was excellent after her outburst, and she continued to relentlessly pursue her attacks. Zhao Yuzhe began to think about temporarily avoiding the brunt, but Chu Yunxiu's brilliance tonight was truly boundless. The "Can't See the Finale" buff is a delayed effect.

"Alas, it seems that it will be difficult for Zhao Yuzhe to turn the tables..." Even Li Yibo dared to make such a definitive statement on the live broadcast, the balance of victory has tilted extremely heavily. Zhao Yuzhe finally lost, filled with regret and unwillingness. With only a year and a half of professional experience, he is not yet very mature, and walked off the stage with an angry face. The television broadcast gave both players special close-ups.

The victorious Chu Yunxiu didn't seem happy either, still listless as when she entered. So the camera focused more on Zhao Yuzhe, fully presenting his dissatisfaction to the audience.

Zhao Yuzhe was unwilling! He felt that Chu Yunxiu was being unkind. To put in so much effort, how afraid is she of losing to him? Yes, he must make the audience understand this point: Chu Yunxiu is very afraid of losing to him, he already possesses the strength to threaten this number one Elementalist player!

Seeing his close-ups frequently appearing on the live electronic screen, Zhao Yuzhe knew that this was being broadcast to millions of households, and quickly controlled his expression to avoid being too ferocious or losing his composure. When he walked onto the stage and looked at Chu Yunxiu, he also tried to appear calm. But it was obviously difficult for him, who had limited experience. Compared to Huang Shaotian being able to smile warmly at the camera with the feeling of flipping the bird, Zhao Yuzhe's forced smile was at least a hundred times more strained. Zhao Yuzhe glanced over and also felt unnatural, he tried various adjustments to the corners of his mouth, but could only make his expression even more rigid.

In comparison, Chu Yunxiu was much more skilled. She just smiled casually and said, "Not bad!"

"It's also my fault for being too careless. At first, seeing that Senior seemed listless, I thought you weren't planning to take this match seriously!" Zhao Yuzhe's way of pointing out the main topic was relatively subtle, just like his initial challenge, not very flamboyant.

"As long as you stand on the arena, you should give it your all." Chu Yunxiu said, which was undoubtedly a standard cliché.

"Yes, this is something I need to learn from Senior, to give it my all at all times," Zhao Yuzhe said.

"Add oil!" Chu Yunxiu nodded.

Zhao Yuzhe is quite good at speaking euphemistically. Anyone with a discerning ear could easily hear the hidden meaning in his words. However, Zhao Yuzhe was not satisfied yet. What he had said so far seemed to only explain that he had not been able to exert his full strength in this match due to carelessness, but he had not yet expressed what he needed even more!

Seeing Chu Yunxiu already turn around and prepare to return to the player's area, Zhao Yuzhe quickly shouted at her back, "Next time, I will definitely not be deceived by Senior again!"

Yes! Deceived! Zhao Yuzhe clearly bit on this word, he wanted everyone to pay attention to this point. And then realize how afraid Chu Yunxiu is of Zhao Yuzhe, that she even had to resort to deception.

At this time, Chu Yunxiu had already returned the microphone to the host, but the microphone was only to amplify the sound for the audience. If it was just communication between the two sides on the stage, the current distance was not a problem. Hearing Zhao Yuzhe shout, Chu Yunxiu turned around. The host敏锐敏锐敏锐ly sensed that this might be a breaking point, and with a speed close to a knight's charge, rushed to Chu Yunxiu's side. Seeing that Chu Yunxiu had already opened her mouth, she simply held the microphone to her mouth.

"Next time?" Chu Yunxiu seemed a little confused. "Are you a second-year student? Can you still participate in the Rookie Challenge next year?"

"Ah?" Zhao Yuzhe was stunned. Chu Yunxiu's answer was completely unexpected! He was just saying it casually, was "next time" some kind of keyword? But Chu Yunxiu had seized on it and replied with this. For a moment, Zhao Yuzhe didn't know how to answer. Seeing that he didn't react, Chu Yunxiu shook her head, turned around, and continued walking.

"What's going on?" The camera showed Zhao Yuzhe scratching his head in confusion. He wanted to explain a few more words, but he heard the host making closing remarks for this round, thanking the two for the wonderful game. Zhao Yuzhe couldn't continue to shamelessly linger on the stage, so he had to reluctantly return the microphone and end his attempt to rise to the top.

This duel between the two was a bit of a storm in a teacup. Zhao Yuzhe was not particularly flamboyant, and Chu Yunxiu's attitude was even more peaceful, completely lacking the murderous atmosphere of last year's challenge.

After sending off the two, the event continued. At this time, only the last round of the duel remained. Under normal circumstances, the home team's players would come out as the finale. However, the only player on Team Tiny Herb who met the conditions for the Rookie Challenge this year was Gao Yingjie. And Gao Yingjie had already participated in the Rookie Challenge last year and could not come again. So the last match of this challenge broke the routine, and the challenging player announced by the host was none other than Lou Guan Ning from Team Excellent Era.

"Oh..." There was quite a bit of commotion in the audience.

Firstly, Team Excellent Era is also from B City. With their level, they are not yet qualified to compete with Tiny Herb for the title of "city rivals," so as hometown neighbors, the Tiny Herb fans would give Excellent Era some attention while supporting Tiny Herb.

Furthermore, Lou Guan Ning is a rather legendary figure. In the online game, he was a well-known "RMB warrior" (a player who spends a lot of real money on the game), but no one expected that this RMB warrior would play so big, directly starting a team and sending himself to the professional scene to play. A player who plays to this extent can be considered to have reached the pinnacle.

"This guy is quite popular, isn't he?" Chen Guo said from the side.

"Heh heh." Ye Xiu smiled, without commenting. He had been dealing with Lou Guan Ning for a long time, and their relationship had become better and better, but he never thought that he would see him in person for the first time in this way: on the electronic screen of the venue, there was a close-up of Lou Guan Ning, who was coming down to the stage.

In terms of appearance, he can't be considered handsome, but in this scene of being watched by thousands of people, he didn't seem to be flustered at all, and walked down step by step with great composure.

Lou Guan Ning is just a rookie in the professional scene, and Team Excellent Era's performance in this season is far from people's expectations, so there is nothing to be proud of. But the calmness he showed as he walked down the stage surpassed even Zhou Zekai, the current number one player in Glory.

Of course, Zhou Zekai's lack of composure is mostly due to his personality. But Lou Guan Ning's calmness shows that he is someone who has experienced big occasions, and this situation would not make him feel flustered at all.

The broadcast and the host were introducing Lou Guan Ning's legendary gaming career. It should be known that this person's identity has another special point, he is not only the player of the team, but also the boss of the team. Because of this, even if Team Excellent Era's performance is not good, his position is still somewhat transcendent compared to other players.

Going offstage and accepting interviews, Lou Guan Ning responded with ease, far better than the second-year student Zhao Yuzhe, who had to repeatedly practice to even force a smile in front of the camera.

"Hey, do you think he will challenge you?" Chen Guo suddenly had a whim at this time.

"Me?" Ye Xiu was stunned, and then shook his head. "No, he is not such an impetuous person. If he really wants to challenge me, he should call me in advance to ask."

"That's no fun!" Chen Guo was quite excited at this time, but Lou Guan Ning's subsequent speech completely extinguished her fantasy. The player Lou Guan Ning challenged was Yu Feng, the current number one Berserker in the league.

Leaving Blue Rain and transferring to Hundred Blossoms to become a core player, Yu Feng, along with Hundred Blossoms, was mired in a quagmire at the beginning of the season. Some even commented alarmingly that they might become another Excellent Era.

However, as the season continued, Team Hundred Blossoms gradually found its rhythm and began to rise all the way. Yu Feng's Falling Flower Wolf Fang and Zou Yuan's Flowers in Bloom combination became more and more tacit, and were more and more supported and loved by players. Yu Feng's selection into the All-Star lineup with Falling Flower Wolf Fang this time was uncontroversial. On the Blue Rain side, after Yu Feng's transfer, the rookie Lu Hanwen replaced his main position. Although a Berserker player was also added to take over the Brilliant Sword, because of limited appearances and unremarkable performance, he did not have any competitiveness in the All-Star selection. The title of the number one Berserker, following Yu Feng, returned to Hundred Blossoms.
