On the other side, Qin Chengyao was in a PK battle with Landu while still on the phone on QQ.
"I'm really sorry last time. Si Yue suddenly fell ill, and I took her to the hospital."
The person on the other end of the phone chuckled and replied, "It's okay. You informed me in time, and I didn't wait long. But what on earth did you want to talk to me about last time?"
"I want you to join my team."
Landu paused for a moment but didn't answer.
Qin Chengyao continued, "There are only four people left in my team now. Can you come? Although you've retired, there's no rule saying that a retired player can't return to the league."
"Sigh... I have my own teammates, and I've already told them. When we retired back then, we made an agreement that we'd answer each other's call. I summoned them, and they all came. I can't just abandon them."
Since things had come to this point.
Qin Chengyao wasn't the kind of person who didn't know when to stop. Since Landu had spoken so directly, he naturally wouldn't pester him anymore.
"Okay. I'm looking forward to the day when we meet again on the field."
"I lost to you back then, but this time, it won't be the same."
"You're getting stronger, and so am I."
Qin Chengyao smiled and defeated Landu with a single strike.
Looking at the big words "VICTORY" on the screen, Qin Chengyao leaned back in his chair, his expression inscrutable.
After a while, Ji Siyue came to find him.
[Private Chat] Jiyueji: Master, are you done with the game?
[Private Chat] Jinyuanbao: Yeah, I'm done.
[Private Chat] Jiyueji: I received a battle order from Biboting today. Should I accept it?
[Private Chat] Jinyuanbao: I've already given you the right to decide about the team. If you want to accept it, just do it. Anyway, with me around, I won't let you lose.
[Private Chat] Jiyueji: Okay.
She had long been annoyed by Xinghelinjian. If she could defeat him in one fell swoop, she wouldn't have to be harassed by him anymore, which would solve the problem once and for all.
However, the opponent's camp had more than 300 people, while there were only about thirty people on her side. Even if they were extremely powerful and could each fight ten opponents, it would still be quite difficult. So Ji Siyue wondered if she should recruit more people.
After thinking about it for a while, she decided to drop the idea.
Except for five small - level characters, the rest of the people in the team were carefully selected seed players by Qin Chengyao and the others. If she randomly recruited more people, it might cause dissatisfaction among the team members.
Forget it. She'd just take things as they came.
Three days later, the camp battle officially began.
The arena was always full, with people engaged in one - on - one PKs.
Since Ji Siyue had accepted the application from Biboting, the members of their team on the world chat channel had never stopped taunting her.
Ji Siyue had specifically told the team members in the internal group to focus on the battle and ignore the taunts from irrelevant people.
The twenty - two new members took turns accepting the opponent's battle applications. Those who couldn't win would write down the names, and Qin Chengyao and the other three would step in. Each person could challenge three times, and each game lasted about ten minutes. It would take a long time for everyone to use up their chances.
Just like this, although there was a huge difference in the number of people between the two sides, they still led Biboting by several points in the score.
Then, the opponents became extremely angry and started a new round of taunts on the world chat channel.
But since Ji Siyue had told them not to respond, no matter how they acted, it was like a self - directed show. There were also quite a few people scolding Biboting.
Finally, Xinghelinjian couldn't hold back anymore and directly issued a challenge to Ji Siyue.
Ji Siyue hesitated for a moment but still accepted it.
She thought she might not be able to defeat him. But if she didn't accept the challenge, he might make a big deal out of it. Anyway, she'd be embarrassed either way. It was better to be more straightforward about it.
Ji Siyue found Qin Chengyao on WeChat.
[Jiyueji]: Senior, Xinghelinjian challenged me to a one - on - one, and I accepted.
[Senior]: Come on. Do your best.
[Jiyueji]: But I'm afraid I'll lose and make a fool of myself. They're so arrogant...
[Senior]: It's more embarrassing not to accept the challenge. You know you might lose but still accepted it. That's where you've won. He knows he's stronger than you but still challenged you. Even if he wins, it's not a glorious victory. Don't worry.
[Senior]: Even if you really lose, I'm here. I'll avenge you. I still have two PK chances left, and I'll save them for him.
[Jiyueji]: Pfft!
[Jiyueji]: Okay, I got it. I'll work hard.
[Senior]: Yeah, I got it. A few kids were bullied by the opponents. I'll go and use a small - level character to get back at them.
[Jiyueji]: Okay, go ahead.
After chatting with Qin Chengyao, Ji Siyue felt much better.
But even so, she couldn't slack off just because she thought she might lose.
Ji Siyue logged into the game and carefully adjusted all the data of her weapon, setting it to a state where the damage wasn't extremely high but was the most comfortable for her to use.
She had made up her mind that even if she really couldn't win, she would hold on for as long as possible.
The time she agreed with Xinghelinjian was six o'clock in the evening, which was exactly the time of her live - stream. After thinking about it, she decided to postpone her live - stream.
For this reason, she even posted an announcement on Weibo.
[I'll have a duel with the captain of Biboting at six o'clock tonight. To prevent some factors from interfering with me, I won't do the live - stream for now. I'll start it after the battle.]
"Yuebing must come on!"
"Does she know she'll lose and doesn't want the audience to watch?"
"Come on, come on, come on! Don't care about others' opinions!"
After reading several comments in a row, Ji Siyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Even her fans thought she couldn't win. They were already starting to comfort her in advance?
Thinking like this, she felt a bit guilty.
She had never been the kind of person who was willing to admit defeat. Otherwise, she wouldn't have adjusted her weapon...
After logging into the game, Xinghelinjian immediately sent her a private message.
[Private Chat] Xinghelinjian: If you think you're going to lose, just surrender quickly. It'll save your chances, and you can still earn points from other weak players.
When Ji Siyue saw this message, she got really angry. She quickly typed a reply.
[Private Chat] Jiyueji: I'll use up all three chances just to fight you.
[Private Chat] Xinghelinjian: You're really stubborn!
Just then, Ji Siyue suddenly received a call from Liu Fanghua.
"Go and check out the live - stream room number 1930483. That person is live - streaming your upcoming PK!"
When Ji Siyue heard this, her heart sank. She quickly opened the live - stream website, entered the room number, and a live - stream room popped up.
It was a new live - stream room. The anchor didn't show their face and was live - streaming the chat history between her and Xinghelinjian!
Ji Siyue was almost furious.
Was this guy determined to make her look bad?
Ji Siyue returned to the game interface.
[Private Chat] Jiyueji: I'll really cry when I see you. Before this, you've taunted our team several times on the world chat channel, and we didn't want to bother with you. But last time you called me a dog. Before we start, I want you to apologize to me!
