Chapter 136: Chapter 136: She’s a Pro at Pie in the Sky
King of Competition (¬_¬): “… Host, our mission is to intentionally lose, but I didn’t ask you to try so hard.”
At the sudden sound of King of Competition’s voice in her mind, which was rare since it was the first time he took the initiative to speak up, Ji Tian chuckled, “What are you talking about? Which eye of yours saw me trying hard? I’m just working to earn money for a better life of losing intentionally.”
King of Competition (°ー°〃): “…”
“Don’t you know that without money, we can’t do anything? I hope you can understand that. Not only will my life be unfulfilled, but you’ll also be without your high-end body wash.”
King of Competition perked up, “Fine, pretend I didn’t say anything. I want a bottle of jasmine-scented body wash!”
“No problem. Once I earn the money, I’ll buy you a hundred bottles.” Ji Tian was not short on big promises – she was a professional at that.
King of Competition (˃⌑˂ഃ): “Host, you’re really kind~”
Once they entered the battlefield, Ji Tian focused back on the game. Everyone was wearing headphones when Xiao Cheng’s voice rang out, “God Ji, where should we jump? R City?”
“Let’s head to the nuclear power plant on the far edge.”
Xiao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness they weren’t starting with an aggressive head-on fight.
The match was being streamed across various packed live broadcasting rooms. It was always lively when regular streamers played against professional players.
The live broadcast room of the “Eat Chicken” streamer Wind God had a traffic of one hundred thousand, making him a top streamer. With his good looks and impressive gaming skills, he had gathered countless fans.
Some eagle-eyed viewers noticed the inhuman-like equipment of “Sweetheart Octopus” and the bullet comments started flooding in, “Isn’t that the God Ji who’s been said to be godlike on the internet? Is she really that terrifying?”
“I came because of her. Since I can’t find Chenxi’s stream, I can only watch the match results here.”
“Holy shit, isn’t it Wednesday? Shouldn’t she be at school? Skipping class to play in a match?”
“I’m dying, you guys really expect a girl to match up to professional players? She’s only impressive among those ordinary offline players. The higher your expectations, the greater your disappointment. ‘God Ji’ is just a joke.”
Many were skeptical about Ji Tian’s skills. How good could a girl be, no matter how skilled she was?
Rumors about her spread as if a deity descended to earth. If she flopped, it would be utterly embarrassing.
Many who hadn’t seen Ji Tian in variety shows only knew of her through her match videos. Those who liked to stir things up started calling her “God Ji,” probably wanting to raise her up high just to see her fall harder.
Wind God, maneuvering his in-game character, eliminated another player, then stated with a laugh, “Watch me take the win for my supporting fans, babies.”
The bullet comments were going crazy, all in support of him.
His team’s skills were barely different from professionals, and even against Hua Country Team, it would be an even match.
In contrast to Ji Tian’s usual quick, accurate, and ruthless gameplay, this time she was much more relaxed, leisurely looting for equipment in a house, much to her teammates’ anxiety.
“God Ji, maybe we should go out and fight a team to warm up a little? There’s nobody at this dead place.”
Ji Tian, upon finding an eight-times scope, looked around outside before saying, “Want to go out and get ourselves killed? Just wait a little longer, let them come to us.”
“Ah?” Xiao Cheng ignorantly stood by the window. Since nobody was shooting at him, he wondered, “There’s nobody here.”
“Two hundred meters to the southeast, at 130 degrees behind that grassy slope, there’s a team waiting for you to step out of this house. Try and step out if you don’t believe me.”
Only then did Xiao Cheng move back inside the wall and, following the direction Ji Tian had pointed out, looked through the scope. Indeed, there was a team lying in ambush behind there, waiting to wipe them out as soon as they exited.
He broke out in a cold sweat.
If they had gone out, they would have been the first team eliminated. That would’ve been mortifying.
“Good thing you warned us in time,” he exclaimed.
The next second, he saw Ji Tian replenish her own status to full, “Forget it, let’s just fight quickly. I’m on a schedule.”
She immediately jumped out the window, and Xiao Cheng was stunned.
Gunfire erupted outside. He hurried to follow her out to help, and then he saw Ji Tian already looting the enemy’s items.
Xiao Cheng: “…Damn impressive.”
The skill truly lives up to its reputation.
Some broadcaster team that just got wiped: “…”
What is this thing that just whooshed by, and then they were all gone?
[Holy shit, impressive impressive impressive!]
[I strongly request Ji Tian to compete in the world championships! Can she lead the Hua Country Team to bring back a world champion trophy, wuwuwu, it’s been three years. Except for Central Continent making it to the world championships only to finish last, no other teams from within the country can make it out.]
[This skill… Even Li Meng from Central Continent would feel ashamed.]
[Thanks for the invite, but don’t try to leech off Li Shen, she’s not worthy, just let her play these kinds of matches.]
Since they were eliminated anyway, the various broadcasters switched their camera views to Ji Tian’s team.
The encircling area was shrinking; the team had to move whether they wanted to or not.
Even though they didn’t have god-level equipment yet, Ji Tian’s equipment was not bad, and what would follow was a contest of skill.
The small elimination notices at the bottom-left corner made everyone break out in cold sweat.
They all steered clear of Ji Tian.
What they didn’t know was that Ji Tian was frantically searching for them, solely to rush to the café and help Chenxi work on a lawsuit plan.
Seeing her eliminate another team, people’s expressions scrunched together, “She must be crazy, right?”
“Whoever dares to call her trash again, I’ll spray them to death! Damn, they misled me.”
Everyone gazed at the bottom-left corner, which was filled with eliminations by Sweetheart Octopus, and fell into deep thought—were they that bad? They got beaten without any power to retaliate.
[You don’t even cut leeks like this, there goes another team, hahaha, Ji Tian has eliminated Wind God.]
[Wasn’t that guy bragging about taking first place earlier? He hasn’t even come up against Zhan Yi, and he ran into Ji Tian first.]
[Tsk tsk tsk, just listen and it’s enough, who can’t brag? Still Wind God? With his skills, he’s not even fit to wash Zhan Yi’s feet, famous for being a pretty boy in the survival zone.]
Wind God stared at his grayed-out screen, his face turning pale with embarrassment. Throughout the whole game, he hadn’t eliminated many people but had instead been wiped by Ji Tian.
Of course, this was because he had actively sought out Ji Tian, simply to prove his skills, but ended up embarrassingly disgraced.
He didn’t dare look at the mocking comments, and stiff-necked, he said, “I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather lately, my eyes are blurry, didn’t see clearly, and let her succeed. Next time I’ll challenge her again.”
[No worries Wind Wind, we believe in you.]
[Best Wind God, unstoppable once you’ve recovered from your illness.]
His supporters were Iron Girl Fans; he breathed a sigh of relief and coughed twice for show: “Thank you all, let’s watch their match.”
By the end of the match, Zhan Yi was left silent staring at his grayed-out screen.
Ji Tian had led her team of two, none dead, to the very end.
She alone had eliminated sixty players in the entire game, so her strength couldn’t be doubted. Her skill lived up to her nickname “God Ji,” and she smacked the faces of those who mocked her hard.
All those questioning voices had by then disappeared, completely quieted down.
Ji Tian put down her headphones, shook her hands out, and while drinking the water next to her, she saw Zhan Yi walk over and say in a grave tone, “Ji Tian, I would like to invite you to join our YXC team.”
Ji Tian raised her eyebrows; she was uninterested in competing and declined directly, “No thanks, I don’t want to be a team player.”
Zhan Yi spoke earnestly, “No, I sincerely invite you to be our team’s coach.”
“Peuh,” Ji Tian spat out a mouthful of water.
What do you think?
