From Sidekick to Bigshot

The day before the tournament, all twenty teams were gathered together. The officials of the ‘Zerg Invasion’ tournament briefly explained the outline of the tournament and told the teams the things that they had to be aware of for the offline tournament.

There would be spectators at the venue on the day of the tournament.

In light of the current ticket sales, it seemed as though the venue would be packed with spectators.

When all the teams gathered together, it was clear that there was only one female player amongst them.

And that was Jian Yiling.

However, Jian Yiling wasn’t the youngest player. There were a few boys that were even younger than her.

However, she still looked like the youngest one.

She was shorter than the fourteen-year-old boy.

During the official presentation, the three domestic teams [Domination], [Chasing the Clouds and Victory], and [Rely on Others] were seated together.

The difference in style between these three teams was rather large.

From the beginning, someone had invested in the team [Chasing the Clouds and Victory.] This meant that this team was much more professional than the other teams at the venue.

The players in that team were top players in their respective regions. A few of those players were even somewhat famous streamers. This made their team appear incredibly professional and confident.

On the other hand, the four members of the team [Rely on Others] had been formed on their own. Their team was of the same nature as Jian Yiling’s team. They appeared relatively less professional.

The team [Domination] dressed quite differently from everyone else.

Everyone else wore casual clothes. However, all the guys in [Domination] wore suits. On the other hand, Jian Yiling wore a pleated skirt.

This was the reason why everyone had refused to wear the ‘team uniform’ in the first place.

Why did Yu Xi prepare a skirt for Jian Yiling?

Although Yu Xi gave Jian Yiling skin-colored leggings, later on, everyone was still a bit reluctant to accept his ‘uniforms’.

Jian Yiling typically wore long-sleeved shirts and trousers. And thus, Yu Xi begged and pleaded with her to wear a short skirt for once.

Although Jian Yiling wasn’t tall, she still had good body proportions. When she wore the short skirt, her legs looked straight and long.

When Jian Yiling sat down, there were several blazers that got layered on top of her.

One from Zhai Yunsheng, one from Yu Xi, and one from Jian Yujie.

All the blazers in the team were on Jian Yiling’s body.

Two of them were layered on her lap and the last one covered her upper body.

However, the three blazers were all too big for Jian Yiling. This made Jian Yiling seem even smaller than she actually was.

The blazers almost covered her body completely. It was as though they ignored the fact that she was still wearing skin-colored leggings under her skirt.

A member of the team [Chasing the Clouds and Victory] glanced over at Jian Yiling. He shook his head and had a complicated expression on his face.

The way [Domination] was dressed did not look like they had come to play eSports. Instead, it appeared as though they were planning to attend a fashion show.

It seemed as though they planned to use their money to make a name for themselves.

“Zerg Invasion” was an incredibly popular game. The tournament would be broadcasted on all major streaming platforms.

The man turned his head and whispered to his teammate: “Do you think they’re going to be cursed at by the netizens? I’ve heard that they are already getting a lot of flak on the Internet. Why are they doing this? Do they like getting cursed at or something?”

“You don’t know that, do you? Nowadays, when people get cursed enough, they can become well-known by everyone. In the beginning, they plan to use such a route to gain a wave of attention. Through that, they achieve popularity and their ultimate purpose.”

The man who asked the question couldn’t help but shake his head. He couldn’t understand such actions at all.
