Xiao Xun nodded, "Don't worry, I'm fine. This bit of alcohol is just right for the occasion."
Xiao Sanmao patted Xiao Xun's arm, "As I said, my brother Xiao is awesome. The more he drinks, the more excited he gets to 'kill the enemy'."
In the first round, a ten-kill diagonal sniper match, the long-haired beauty used 'Annihilation', while Xiao Xun used a 'bird gun'.
Xiao Sanmao looked at Xiao Xun worriedly, "Brother, don't you have a hero-grade weapon? Why are you using this kind of gun? Unless it's a headshot, one shot won't kill anyone."
Xiao Xun glanced at Xiao Sanmao, "It's fine. Let's test the feel first, and if it doesn't work, we'll talk."
"Brother, our vice-captain is really good, not comparable to those people yesterday morning."
Xiao Xun patted Xiao Sanmao's shoulder, "You just control the keyboard."
Xiao Sanmao nodded. Although they had only played together for less than a day, they had developed a bit of tacit understanding.
The long-haired beauty moved the internet cafe's peripherals aside and connected her own, immediately attracting the attention of many people in the cafe.
"Wow! This beauty is playing a game that guys play."
"Isn't that mechanical keyboard from the 'Black Widow' series? It costs nearly a thousand yuan, and the low-end version of that mouse is also seven or eight hundred. She's so rich!"
"Why is that mousepad silver-gray? It looks like a piece of sheet metal."
Whether they played this game or not, professional players competing in an internet cafe naturally drew crowds, especially such a beautiful woman.
Many people started recording this exciting moment with their phones.
However, no one noticed that the long-haired beauty's opponent was sitting right opposite her.
At the start, both of them took tentative shots at each other.
With extremely fast hand speed and high accuracy, Xiao Xun landed a headshot.
A group of people behind the long-haired beauty exclaimed, because on the top right corner of the game interface, they saw that the beauty had been 'sniped' by the cheapest, least-used, and lowest-damage sniper rifle in the game.
The long-haired beauty's lips curved slightly upwards, and she whispered, "This is interesting."
In the second shot, the long-haired beauty flashed by with extreme speed. Xiao Xun missed her head and was killed by her.
Xiao Sanmao said regretfully, "If he had used a different gun, she would be the one 'dead'."
"It's okay, we'll talk after this round is lost!"
After a game, the long-haired beauty narrowly won ten to eight. She took out a pack of tissues from her bag and wiped the sweat from her mouse and palms. She hadn't experienced such pressure in a long time.
Xiao Xun looked at the mouse in his hand, "The internet cafe's mouse refresh rate is too low." Then he looked up and shouted to the night shift internet cafe manager, "Brother Biao, please get my mouse and mousepad from my bag. Thank you."
When everyone heard Xiao Xun's shout, their gazes converged. They only then realized that the person competing with the beauty was right opposite them, and what's more, two people were controlling one machine together. This instantly attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone in the internet cafe, except those with tasks at hand, stood behind the long-haired beauty and Xiao Xun in two groups.
After a while, the night shift internet cafe manager brought over the mouse and mousepad.
Everyone had never seen Xiao Xun's peripherals, but from their appearance and craftsmanship, they were clearly not cheap. Especially the mousepad, which could plug into a USB port, was unheard of.
Xiao Xun plugged in the mouse and mousepad, adjusted the settings, then stood up, "Can we start the second round?"
The long-haired beauty nodded, and Xiao Xun switched to the same 'Annihilation' as the long-haired beauty.
Some people behind them started taking pictures of Xiao Xun's sparkling mousepad and mouse. When they searched online to find out what peripherals they were, they were all stunned.
Someone searched on a website and found that these were specifically for 'big players'. Not only were they expensive, but they were also very unfriendly to ordinary players. Basically, once bought, they could only be used by oneself, not by others.
After the second round began, no matter how agile and tricky the long-haired beauty's movements were, she was taken down with one shot the moment she showed even a sliver of her body. Sometimes, she was even shot through before she could even jump out.
If they weren't facing each other, the long-haired beauty would have reported him for cheating.
Thus, the second round ended with a clean sweep, ten to zero. The long-haired beauty's expression was not good.
Xiao Xun stood up, "Do you want to continue?"
The long-haired beauty looked at the harmless smile in front of her and felt that he was mocking her. She nodded, "Of course. We agreed to play three rounds, so we'll play three rounds."
Xiao Xun directly switched to the top hero-grade weapon: 'Phantom God'.
Everyone behind him let out a gasp. The long-haired beauty didn't know what was happening, but all the internet cafe players were now standing behind Xiao Xun.
Xiao Sanmao's left hand trembled slightly. He had been playing games for so many years, how could he have received such attention? He was even more excited.
The power of 'Phantom God' was undeniable. Xiao Sanmao didn't even have to move from his spot, and Xiao Xun won the entire match, another ten to zero.
As soon as the match settlement screen appeared, everyone in the internet cafe spontaneously applauded and cheered. Xiao Sanmao even hugged Xiao Xun, "Brother Xiao, you're too amazing, a true overlord, absolutely dominating the entire field!"
The long-haired beauty closed the game, logged out of her account, and began to pack her peripherals.
Xiao Xun also closed his account and the game, unplugged his mouse and mousepad, and walked in front of the long-haired beauty, carefully asking, "That, do you still want the account?"
Looking at Xiao Xun's demeanor, which was completely devoid of the arrogant look he had in the game, the long-haired beauty extended her hand, "Hello, my name is Chu Ningxiang. What's yours?"
"Yi zhi hong yan lu ning xiang, a beautiful name. My name is Xiao Xun."
Chu Ningxiang looked up and down at the shy young man in front of her. Perhaps only when playing games did he transform into another 'self'. "It seems you are quite cultured. Since I agreed to sell you my account, I will definitely sell it. However, I truly can't understand, with such great skill, why don't you join a professional team and instead sell your account?"
"As for the reason, Xiao Sanmao has already told you, so I won't say much. I don't want much money either. I know the market price, so 1200 yuan is fine, but I want cash."
Chu Ningxiang took out her phone, "Who uses cash these days? How about this! I'll add you as a friend and transfer you 1500 yuan directly, okay?"
Xiao Sanmao had made it very clear online that the transaction would be in cash offline, but before he could even speak, Chu Ningxiang glared him into silence.
After careful consideration, Xiao Xun nodded and opened his phone. What greeted his eyes was a long message from his cousin, essentially saying she was sorry, she had acted foolishly, and shouldn't have kicked him out, hoping he would return soon.
Using his phone number, he added Chu Ningxiang as a friend. She quickly transferred the money, "Alright, I'll write down the account and password for you now, and then change the security phone to yours."
Unexpectedly, Chu Ningxiang reached out her hand and said unhurriedly, "Wait a moment..."
