After opening the free arena, Ji Siyue invited two players to log in.
Both players arrived quickly. After they entered the arena, Ji Siyue announced the PK rules in front of the two players and all the viewers in her live - broadcast room. After confirming that both of them agreed, the PK officially began.
At the very beginning, Xingxing launched an extremely fierce attack on Jin Yuanbao.
This surprised the viewers in the live - broadcast room.
This newbie was really fearless. He wasn't intimidated at all when facing Jin Yuanbao. If it were themselves, they might not have had such courage.
Although Ji Siyue didn't think her senior would lose, she still stared nervously at the computer screen, not wanting to miss any details.
She had to watch the whole process to make sure that this PK wouldn't go beyond her expectations.
"I'm starting to think it's hard to say who will win this PK," a viewer wrote in the chat.
Others quickly refuted this comment.
"The person above must be joking. Don't you know who this big shot on the field is? He's an old legend in the e - sports circle!"
"Right. I think the comment above is just stupid."
Ji Siyue then shared her thoughts: "I don't know why, but I always feel that there's something wrong with senior's play this time. Usually, when he beats me, he's very aggressive and always makes me unable to press a single button for ten minutes. But this time, it seems like he's a bit forced."
After her reminder, others finally noticed this problem and couldn't help but observe the battle carefully.
Sure enough, just as she said, Qin Chengyao's play this time was really too passive. No one knew if he was afraid of something.
Ji Siyue couldn't help but stare nervously at her computer screen, praying in her heart again and again - please don't let her be the one who jinxed senior into losing. If that were the case, she would feel like a sinner.
In the arena, Jin Yuanbao was playing his second - best class, the Gunfighter, while Xingxing was playing the Artilleryman. These two classes were natural counters to each other.
The Artilleryman had absolute long - range shooting capabilities, and the arena's terrain was uneven, making it easy to jump and attack the enemy's back row. These two classes were both counters and natural enemies of each other.
If they were of the same level, it would really be hard to say who would win.
Qin Chengyao stared at his computer screen. His hands moved fluently, but his brows were tightly furrowed, and the emotions in his eyes were a bit mysterious.
Bai Yu saw his serious expression and couldn't help but walk over and ask, "What's wrong? I haven't seen you look so serious while playing games for a long time."
He remembered that the last time this guy showed such an expression was when he pretended to be a big shot to beat Ji Siyue and insisted on taking her as a disciple.
Whenever he showed such an expression, it meant that he was either nervous or getting serious. A simple PK shouldn't make him so serious, unless this PK had become more than just a simple one after it started.
"I feel like the opponent's playstyle is a bit familiar," Qin Chengyao said.
Bai Yu leaned over to the computer screen. After seeing the opponent's name and carefully observing his play, he couldn't help but frown. "Logically, a player with such skills shouldn't be so persistent against you!"
"I've played against this guy before. I always feel that he's different from yesterday. Yesterday, his play was a bit inexperienced. Although he had some skills, he was too impatient and easily exposed his weaknesses. But this guy is different. I couldn't even get close to him several times. His vigilance is very high, and his footwork is great. No ordinary player could do this."
"Are you saying that this guy hired a stand - in player? How shameless! Didn't they say it was a fair PK? Why is he the one who hired a stand - in first?"
"If it were an ordinary stand - in player, I wouldn't be worried. An ordinary player couldn't beat me at all. But I'm a bit struggling against this guy, and his playstyle is very similar to someone I know."
Hearing this, Bai Yu also bent down and stared more seriously at the two players' operations on the computer screen. After two minutes, his face suddenly changed.
"Why do I feel that this guy is a bit like our old rival? Do you remember him?"
"That's why I'm not finding this easy. I feel that the opponent's playstyle is a bit like his."
"Wasn't he retired a long time ago? Why would he come to be a stand - in player? And it just so happens that he's up against you."
Bai Yu still remembered that when they were in the professional e - sports team, they were almost invincible. They had won all the way from an unknown team to the end without any obstruction, until they met another team in the finals.
That team was a popular one at that time. Almost all the sponsors were optimistic about them and poured a lot of sponsorship on them. On the contrary, their dark - horse team didn't receive much attention.
Finally, their team refused to accept interviews, so that league caused a stir among all the players. One of the reasons was that they might be the first champion and runner - up teams in history that both refused to accept interviews.
While operating, Qin Chengyao still managed to talk to Bai Yu about this topic: "That's not what I'm worried about. After all, he was once my defeated opponent. I'm not afraid of him. I'm just curious why he's on the opposite side. And I haven't played against him for so long, so it's natural for me to be a bit nervous. Don't worry. I can't lose."
At this time, some viewers in Ji Siyue's live - broadcast room also noticed this problem and couldn't help but complain.
"A player with such skills, who can almost draw with the big shot, couldn't be so helpless. I think this guy probably hired a stand - in player."
"After the comment above, I also have a faint feeling like that."
"Players who hire stand - in players will never deserve to play this game!"
"What the hell? Wasn't it supposed to be a fair PK? Why is it now a match with a stand - in player?"
"Host, please stop this PK quickly!"
Ji Siyue didn't reply to these comments. Her eyes were fixed on the two characters in the PK on the computer screen, not relaxing for a moment. She was even more nervous than the two players in the match.
