From Sidekick to Bigshot

Yu Xi thought to himself, even if Jian Yiling didn’t do anything, her account would lower the overall matchmaking of the game. As a result, the opponents that they were matched with would be easier to deal with.

Although he wasn’t amazing at the game, he could pull his own weight.

And the rest, he could just leave to Master Sheng.

With their current team dynamic, Yu Xi believed that there was hope for him to gain elo.

Jian Yiling didn’t reply to Yu Xi. Instead, she put her headphones on and readied up for the game.

After they found a game, the game officially started.

As soon as the game started, Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng rushed to the forefront.

“Yiling, follow me. Don’t follow Master Sheng. It’s dangerous over there!”

Yu Xi couldn’t help but warn Jian Yiling. He called her to come back.

Sigh, why did Master Sheng play like this… There was a girl in their team!

This was definitely the reason why Master Sheng couldn’t find a girlfriend. He wasn’t considerate at all! He was destined to be alone forever.

After Yu Xi thought about that for a moment, he raised his eyes back to the screen. He saw their team’s kill count increase by one.

And the person who had netted the kill was Jian Yiling!

And it was also a headshot!

Yu Xi stared at his screen. He looked at it carefully before confirming that it was indeed his teammate J10 who had gotten the kill.

Huh? Yiling just killed a Zerg?

Once again, whilst Yu Xi sat there in confusion, an announcement popped up.

[Your teammate ZYS used a 98K rifle to headshot a Zerg and earned 60 points.]

Ten seconds later, there was another announcement.

[Your teammate J10 used an M416 rifle to headshot a Zerg and earned 60 points.]

Yu Xi was dumbfounded.

The first time could be written off as a lucky kill.

However, what about the second time?

It was impossible to be lucky enough to get two headshots in a row right?

And plus they weren’t even short-ranged kills. They were both mid-range headshots…

In the following few minutes, Yu Xi watched his teammates kill one Zerg after another. J10 killed one, ZYS killed one. And that kept repeating. Their individual scores were the highest amongst the other players. Overall, they were ranked first and second.

Sometimes, Jian Yiling came first. Other times, Zhai Yunsheng ranked first.

Their team score also kept jumping up. As a team, their score was far ahead of the team that ranked second.

Throughout the whole game, Yu Xi didn’t do anything. He didn’t even get time to see many Zergs.

Any Zerg that appeared in the radius of his team had gotten brutally murdered by his teammates within the span of 5 seconds.

Sometimes, his teammates shot at a Zerg at the same time.

This was the first time Yu Xi had felt that the monsters in the game were ‘helpless and weak’.

Whenever he played this game by himself, these monsters were different beasts altogether! They were cruel and vicious…

They were the ones who toyed with him…

The first game ended in fifteen minutes.

And soon, the second game was about to start.

What had occurred in the first game repeated itself in the second game. Throughout the game, Yu Xi got completely carried. He didn’t even get to shoot much in that game!

He felt as though he was walking around aimlessly. There was nothing for him to do.

As such, Yu Xi reflected on his life.

Everyone knew that Master Sheng had a heart problem. As a result, he should avoid scary things right?

However, as of now, there was nothing that could shock Master Sheng.

Race cars for other people, exhilarating; for Master Sheng, no reaction.

Horror movies for other people, terrifying; for Master Sheng, no reaction.

Horror games for other people, extreme fear; for Master Sheng, no reaction once again.

As a matter of fact, from the beginning to the end of the event, his heart rate wouldn’t even accelerate!

Thus, Master Sheng’s heart was not fragile at all! In fact, it was quite strong!

Due to this reason, Yu Xi often doubted his life.

However today, he met another person who made him doubt his entire existence, and that person was —— Jian Yiling.
