Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 184

The four of them shivered and wanted to explain, but they didn’t know how to start.

“How long have you been watching us?” Elspeth took a deep breath and asked.

Carrot was an honest child, so he said truthfully, “From the start of the kiss until now.”

Elspeth felt her blood pressure rise at once. Nevertheless, the two of them were doing embarrassing things in public, and it was really not the fault of these four people. Elspeth thought about it and let them go.

On the next day of training, the four of them simply did not dare to look directly at Elspeth. Elspeth could feel that the training was extra tormenting for them, so she proposed to end the training early, to which the four unanimously agreed. Anyway, the practice was almost done and there was no point in practicing more if they were not learning anything new. The four of them saw Elspeth off with smiles on their faces before releasing big sighs of relief.

Soon, the day of the game arrived. Elspeth followed Kenneth and the four of them to the car and headed for the competition venue. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by a stout man with an inch scar at his brow bone. He was a little oily-looking and had a smile that looked unkind.

At once, alarm bells sounded in Elspeth’s head. As she watched Kenneth talk pleasantries with the man, she knew that this was their final opponent—the team captain of AD, Jaipor Lass.

Today’s match would be broadcasted live, so there were quite a number of fans and news reporters gathered outside. The AD captain, Jaipor, smiled broadly at the reporters, and said, “I have full confidence in our team. AD will definitely beat team FX.”

Kenneth didn’t care about his opponent’s provocation, and when the microphone was passed to him, he just asked in confusion, “Where is the place to receive the reward after the match?”

The crowd was speechless.

Soon, it was time for the game to start. Elspeth and Kenneth sat down, put on the headsets, and began to enter the battle state. During the hero selection stage, they encountered a big problem—the opposite side had banned all of Carrot’s best support picks, so Carrot panicked all of a sudden.

“It seems that they had planned and learned about the heroes Carrot often uses in advance, and as such, they could strike with precision.”

Kenneth frowned, feeling a little unsure.

However, Elspeth was not too concerned. “It’s okay, Carrot. Just pick any hero and follow me.”

Birdy tried to dissuade her. “Elspeth, two heroes tagging with each other would be an easy target for the enemy. Are you not afraid of that?”

“Not as long as our rapport is good.”

Carrot gritted his teeth and chose a hero. When the battle began, Carrot’s hero accidentally got killed, and the opposite side began to taunt Carrot.

“Sorry, Elspeth, I…”

“It’s okay. Take your time.” Elspeth concentrated on the control of her hero, which had a flexible rolling skill. She quickly dodged all the attacks while sending the opponents to die, landing a double kill.

Soon, the round ended with an overwhelming victory for Elspeth and her team.

“It’s outrageous! There’s even a girl on their side who only plays a trashy support tag.”

“Yeah, that hero was disgusting. Many times, it jumped in to strike at the last moment. Just like that, I was killed.”

After Elspeth took off the headset, she began to hear such words, and she couldn’t help but snort with laughter. Carrot looked at her, frowning. “Elspeth, they’re cursing us; why are you not angry?”

Elspeth raised her eyebrows with an incredulous look. “They’re praising you. They’re saying that you played the support hero well and it disgusted them.”

When Carrot thought about it differently, he felt it was really like that. So, he grinned and asked, “They said you only played a trashy support tag. Was that also a compliment to you?” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Elspeth rolled her eyes. “This means they’re big dumb*sses. I’m obviously playing an archer. How could they even end up in competitive gaming if they have such bad knowledge?”

The opponents stood up after hearing this. Just after experiencing defeat, they were in a bad mood. Hence, when they heard they were being taunted, they immediately got upset. At that moment, the intermission was over, and they had to sit down again to continue the game. Elspeth and her team only needed two wins in three games, so as long as they won this round, they no longer had to deal with this group of people.

As soon as Elspeth put on the headset and started the game, she suddenly found that there was actually no sound in the headset. Soon everyone else found out about this bug. They looked across the room and saw that the opponent team had normal communication, yet they themselves could not hear each other’s voices. All of a sudden, they began to panic. But with good mental strength, they quickly calmed down and started the game. There was no rule to say that one couldn’t compete well without communication. After all, they had honed their rapport with each other for so long, and it was not something that disappeared even when they couldn’t communicate.

It was a difficult game as many situations could not be explained clearly without communication. Soon, the opposite side pushed in hard, reaching the towers on Elspeth’s side. The only hero alive on

Elspeth’s side was her own hero, while the other four people alive were the opponents’, frantically trying to shatter the towers.

Elspeth calmed down. She deceived the opponents to use up their skills and then ran as fast as she could to the towers. When the opposite team saw her wounded, they rushed to take her down. Elspeth blinked to the side, cleared the front line, and the towers began to hit the opponents. In the end, Elspeth released all her skills and directly took four kills!

Kenneth’s heart was surging with emotions. After his resurrection, he rushed to the opponents’ side of the field and took down the smaller towers on his way to the main towers. Taking advantage of the opponents still in cooldown mode, the five of them cooperated to shatter the main towers.

Soon, the game was over with a narrow win for Elspeth’s team. They now had two wins, which meant the opponent team had lost for good.

The opponents took off their headsets and all of them looked at Elspeth with resentful faces.

“This woman is so disgusting; did she really play that?”

“I feel like she must have cheated. How do you think she could have played so well?”

“Yeah, I think there were several times where her hero didn’t take any damage when the skills hit her.”

Elspeth couldn’t help but laugh when she heard their thoughts. She raised her eyes with a disdainful look and asked, “Why are you all looking at me, you bunch of stupid pigs?”

Kenneth said, “Rubbish.”

Birdy added, “Trash.”

Susy said, “Disgraceful!”

Carrot held his tongue for a long time before saying, “Bad people!”

Elspeth was speechless. The other team was not happy to hear the taunting curses from this side.

“We demand a review of this woman’s record! How can she be the MVP? How can they even win?”

Elspeth did not care. “Feel free to check. If you find out anything about me, I’ll consider this game my loss.”

“Who is this woman? How can a woman play so well?”

Elspeth snorted angrily. “What’s wrong with being a woman? Can’t a woman play well?”

Soon, the review results came. It reported that Elspeth really did not use any cheats.

Jaipor’s face fell. “Impossible! We don’t believe that Elspeth can be so powerful!”

“What makes that impossible?”

Jaipor sneered, “A gamer who has not been heard of before can suddenly learn to play the game and defeat everyone so quickly? This is definitely not possible!”

Elspeth dug her ears and asked, “What day of the week is today?”

“Don’t change the topic!”

Jaipor was about to continue to argue with Elspeth when the team member behind him suddenly trembled and pulled Jaipor’s hand. “Jaipor, look!”
