Chapter 562: Friendly Match (2/2)
Countless cheers erupted from below the stage. Countless girls and young wives shouted on top of their lungs—
”Do your best, Gui Guzi! Take down Farewell Song and contribute another achievement to Farewell Song and the ASUS e-sports club!”
”Even without Li Chengfeng, we will win for sure!”
”Berserker High Fighting Spirits, Earth Wanderer Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, do your best!”
”Gui Guzi, I love you~~”
……
As it turned out, the ASUS e-sports club had a lot of super fans, and a large majority of them were young girls between 14 years old to 20 years old. Gui Guzi’s image as a cultured but brave undead knight was very attractive, it seemed! It was unfortunate that Li Chengfeng wasn’t here, or the chorus of cheers would be even more perfect. Li Chengfeng held a very important place in the hearts of the girls because he was cool, handsome, and as loyal to his brothers as he was bloodthirsty toward his enemies. As one of the guardians of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, it was only natural that he was in the mind of many girls.
Gui Guzi blushed like an apple in the face of his brutal fans, but even that wasn’t enough to put a lid on his ever-growing anxiety. Both him and Chaos Moon were scanning the crowd repeatedly as if they were looking for someone. Clearly, they knew that High Fighting Spirits and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun were strong, but their chances of actually beating a CGL Hall of Famer was very low. Moreover, the classic WSL match format was four 1v1s and one 2v2. Frankly, the chances of the ASUS e-sports club winning as they were now was very low.
Meanwhile, I had finally reached the main stage and tried to pull myself upward. Unfortunately, the goddamn thing was so tall that I had to climb up the thing like a very clumsy spider. It was an ugly look to say the least.
Gui Guzi and Chaos Moon broke into smiles when they saw me. ”Hoho, he’s finally here!”
The crowd and countless female fans stared at me in astonishment as well. ”Wah, what is that guy doing? Why is he climbing up the stage? Why isn’t he turning around, I want to see if he’s handsome or not…”
I placed a hand on the floor and slowly pushed myself up to a standing position. The host stared at my chest insignia in astonishment for a moment before speaking loudly and clearly to her mic, ”Are… are you Falling Dust?”
I nodded and smiled. ”Yep. The players of your club are all my friends, and as a friend it’s my natural duty to support them on their big day, isn’t it? Since our Pepsi friends came all the way to play a friendly match, why don’t we make the match format slightly more interesting? Beiming Xue and I will join the ASUS team temporarily, and the winner will be decided by a best of 7, more specifically six 1v1s and one 2v2. Does that sound like a good idea?”
The host looked surprised and undecided. However, a young man not far away from her nodded quickly, walked up to me with a smile and replied, ”That is a good idea! I love your suggestion, Little Heavenly King! I am the leader of the ASUS e-sports club, Agi. I am very glad to make your acquaintance. Anyway, since this is the suggestion of the Little Heavenly King himself, I find no reason to decline whatsoever. But before that, we must inquire the opinion of our challengers. Do you accept this arrangement, friends from the Pepsi e-sports club?”
Agi’s eyes were obviously taunting. My arrival alone had swayed the tides in their favor, not to mention that Beiming Xue was with me as well. Meanwhile, I had turned around to face the crowd. The flashing of the cameras was so rapid and blinding that I almost couldn’t keep my eyes open.
Warsky was the shotcaller of the Pepsi e-sports club, and he wasn’t a man to back down from a challenge. He nodded immediately and said, ”If you want a fight, then a fight is what you’ll get. We don’t fear you in the slightest.”
Beneath the stage, the fans were bubbling with frenzy. Countless girls were screaming on top of their lungs—
”Wah, is that guy the legendary Falling Dust and Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand? He’s so, so handsome in real life…”
”Hehe, our chances of winning are infinitely close to 100% now. With the power of Lu Chen and Beiming Xue’s friendship, there’s no way we couldn’t beat the ugly bastards of Warsky Alliance!”
”Yeah, yeah! Just look at Warsky, his face is twisted all the way to New York! I can’t believe he has the guts to the guild leader with a face like that!”
”I know right!? Farewell Song looks like a swine’s kidney, Lin Bing Dou Zhe looks like a steelyard weight, Laughing At The Heavens’ face is a :-( emoticon, and Hundred Battler’s hair is as red as a roasted chicken! October Rain is the only beautiful woman in their team! I knew it! Warsky Alliance’s men aren’t worth shit!”
……
Warsky, Farewell Song and the rest of the men couldn’t stop their facial muscles from twitching. The battle hadn’t even begun yet, and they were almost slayed by the enemy’s fans already.
”Let’s cut to the chase already, shall we?”
Warsky abruptly rose to his feet and pointed a finger at the host. Holding his gaming helmet in one hand, he said with a smile, ”Please prepare the draw, host. Also, we’ll be sending Lin Bing Dou Zhe and Farewell Song for our 2v2 match. Who will be your players for the 2v2 match, ASUS?”
Gui Guzi and Chaos Moon’s expression turned gloomy instantly. The team wasn’t very good at 2v2 matches, and the only pairing among them who had a good placement in the competitive arena was Li Chengfeng + High Fighting Spirits. Unfortunately Li Chengfeng wasn’t here yet, so their chances of winning the 2v2 match was even lower than it already was.
I immediately patted my chest reassuringly and said, ”No problem. Beiming Xue and I can take care of that, hehe!”
