From Sidekick to Bigshot

The tide turned.

In front of the truth, the rumors were unable to withstand a single blow.

It didn’t matter how hard people cursed at Jian Yiling, nor did it matter how many people were employed to spread malicious comments on the stream. In fact, it didn’t even matter how realistic the rumors were.

When Jian Yiling showed off her skills, those things were all shattered to pieces.

They weren’t just some team who paid for their spot in the tournament.

They were the real deal! They had fought their way up the rankings as well!

They had the awareness and skills to match!

And most importantly, they were one of the few domestic teams that had made it to the top 20!

And thus, the tide of the comments completely changed. The Internet started to defend and praise them.

They also started to criticize the people who had slandered [Domination] earlier.

In fact, some of the netizens headed straight to the social media of the person who had accused [Domination] of buying their spot in the tournament. They demanded an apology from that person.

Soon after, the person who had initially accused [Domination] of buying a spot in the tournament deleted their account.

Those who previously attacked Jian Yiling were completely silenced. Jian Yiling did not become the laughing stock that they had predicted her to be.

Some girls even came forward at this time. They spoke up for the only female player in the tournament.

[Who said that girls can’t play first-person shooter games?]

[Yeah, girls can play these games as well! Don’t make those assumptions so easily! Open your eyes and look at the truth! We can be good at these games as well! You boys don’t have anything to do with it either!]

[Even if she’s sweet and precious, she’s still a big shot!]

The crowd was amazed by the team’s superb performance.

Some people who had come to the venue to support other teams changed their captions on their mobile phones to support [Domination] instead.

As Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng’s mechanics were shown on the big screen, there were waves of chants and cheers that rang out from the audience.

Qin Yufan was also there.

It was Zhai Yunsheng’s match today. Due to this reason, she definitely would be there.

She was not at all surprised by Zhai Yunsheng’s performance.

She had always known that he was incredibly good at anything that he put his mind to.

It was just that he didn’t take an interest in most things.

However, Jian Yiling’s performance was something she hadn’t expected at all.

How could Jian Yiling be so good at playing FPS games? How could she be on par with Zhai Yunsheng?

She didn’t appear to look like the person who would be good at those games.

And thus, Qin Yufan realized that she had underestimated Jian Yiling.

The reason why Zhai Yunsheng had refused her gift was that their own team had made it to the top 20. He didn’t need anyone else to give him a team.

For some reason, Qin Yufan was relieved to know this answer.

If Zhai Yunsheng was treating Jian Yiling in a special way because she was as good as him in Zerg Invasion, Qin Yufan could understand and accept that reason.

Mo Shiyun was still watching the live stream. The expression on her face darkened.

At this moment, the person who she had just contacted sent her another message:

[It’s not easy to earn your money. The tide has changed. There’s no point in intentionally calling Jian Yiling out.]

Previously, there were things that could be used against Jian Yiling.

However, her skills had cleared her of anything that had been said. The audience wasn’t stupid or blind.

Commenting things against Jian Yiling at a time like this would cause the viewers to realize that some people had been paid to spread such messages on the Internet. It would achieve the opposite effect of what they wanted.

Mo Shiyun had been in the entertainment industry for quite some time. She could easily understand what the other party meant.

[Stop for now.]

[Okay, let’s collaborate again in the future.]
