There was no doubt about the third round of the game.
Shen Liangchuan continued to be very much in his element and played extremely aggressively right from the start.
Within ten minutes, the match came to an end.
All the audience stood up and gave CQ a round of wild applause.
The commentator was of course emotional and worked up. “… CQ Fighting Team has made a real achievement and is now our deserving champion!”
And thus ended the Beijing competition.
In the final round of the competition, the relatively unknown CQ Team had made a big name for themselves with a sensational win.
The competition had been broadcasted live and, in the blink of an eye, it caused a tidal wave in the gaming world.
Qiao Lian’s Xiao Qiao and Shen Liangchuan’s Xiao Qiao had been played completely differently, and were now widely imitated.
The fans of CQ Team grew overnight to become the biggest fandom among all competitive team’s fandoms.
All around, there was wild applause. Qiao Lian stared at the crowd before her.
She bit her lip, her gaze falling on the gaming room.
It was a considerable distance away and she could not see their faces clearly.
But she could see that all the team members were joyous.
They were shrieking excitedly and jumping around.
There was one silhouette that sat calmly amidst the wild celebrations.
Although she could not see what he was doing, she felt his gaze through the glass window, making its way among the sea of people, in search of her, looking at her.
At that moment, she felt her heart burst with pride for her team!
She placed her hand behind her and suddenly broke into a grin.
It was alright.
Even if she could never play again, it was alright.
CQ Team had won. She had won!
She took another deep breath.
Shortly following this was the award ceremony.
But before that, there was a ten-minute break to spruce up the stage.
Qiao Lian sat back in her seat. Suddenly, she heard voices in a heated argument coming from the entrance of the competition venue.
Even with the background noise of the audience stirring, her ears were sensitive enough to pick up Ancestor White Bones’ voice.
She narrowed her eyes and quickly made her way to the entrance.
Sun Linan, too, followed her. “Qiao Lian, where are you going?”
He was in a foul mood.
King Team had lost, and in a pathetic way. It didn’t look good at all.
Now what was he going to gift Qiao Lian?
Qiao Lian had no idea of the difficulties he was facing and had already dashed to the entrance.
After seeing what the situation was, her expression darkened at once.
Ancestor White Bones was hanging on with her life to the stone sculpture next to the entrance, and that middle-aged woman was pulling her hair. “You’re coming home with me! I’m telling you to come home with me, do you not understand what I’m saying?”
Ancestor White Bones stubbornly stood there, silent as usual, but absolutely stubborn. She said, “Mom, I’m pleading with you, let me take part in the final game of the competition, and after that I’ll do whatever you say! I’ll leave the team, I’ll go home and make money for my brother!”
Ancestor White Bones’ mother spat. “If you play in the competition, they will make me forfeit the money! You are coming with me right now!”
“Mom, please!”
“No way! All you know is how to play games and it’s not proper work!”
Ancestor White Bones grabbed tightly onto the stone sculpture and refused to budge.
Exasperated, her mother raised her hand and gave her a vicious slap across her face. “Are you coming or not?”
Ancestor White Bones bit her lip. “I’m not going!”
Bam! Yet another tight slap.
“Coming or not?”
Ancestor White Bones’ mouth was bleeding now. “Not going.”
“Then I’ll beat you to death, you big liability!”
Bam! Bam! Bam!
One slap after another landed on Ancestor White Bones’ back, as she turned pale from the beating.
