From Sidekick to Bigshot

Why was a young and cute girl this good at this game? Her technique and precision brought men like himself to shame!

She was accurate, unconventional in her positioning, and incredible at predicting incoming abilities!

In a blink of an eye, two hours had passed. Yu Xi’s rank had risen from Platinum to Diamond and Jian Yiling’s rank had skipped divisions. She had climbed all the way up to Platinum!

The increase in elo depended on a person’s individual performance. This was calculated at the end of each game.

As Jian Yiling had incredibly high scores throughout the rounds, her rank had risen more than Yu Xi.

If the current situation were to continue, after a few more games, Jian Yiling’s rank could potentially surpass his.

Before she exited the game, Jian Yiling glanced at the leaderboard.

She didn’t find it unexpected to see the ID ZYS on there.

He was ranked first on the leaderboard.

“Let’s go home,” Jian Yiling said with a sweet voice. She turned around and looked at Yu Xi.

Yu Xi also looked back at Jian Yiling. His eyes took in her face that was fair and full of life. In every way he looked at her, she looked like a weak and helpless girl…

Yu Xi couldn’t comprehend what had just happened. How was Jian Yiling the same as his teammate J10? The images didn’t blend together.

“What are you waiting for?” Zhai Yunsheng asked. His voice was low and sounded unimpressed.

As soon as Yu Xi heard Zhai Yunsheng’s voice, he snapped out of his thoughts. He immediately jumped out from his gaming chair and replied, “Yes, yes. I’ll go right away.”

Yu Xi brought Jian Yiling safely back to the Old Jian Residence and delivered her into Grandma Jian’s arms.

Grandma Jian smiled before she asked Yu Xi, “How was it? Was it fun? Did you help my darling win games?”

Yu Xi smiled awkwardly and replied, “Yeah… We did win.”

However, he wasn’t the one who helped Jian Yiling win games… It was the other way around! Jian Yiling carried him instead!

“Ahh that’s good,” Grandma Jian said. She lowered her head and asked her granddaughter, “Darling, did you have fun tonight?”

“Yes,” Jian Yiling replied softly.

“Oh, that’s good. You can go there again next time! You should go there to have fun with brother Yu Xi. Ask him to introduce you to more fun games or perhaps go outside with him to visit places.”

Grandma Jian knew that regardless of how much care she could provide for her granddaughter, it wasn’t sufficient enough.

Children should play with people in their own age group.

Although Jian Yiling’s tutor Qin Chuan did not seem bad, she still didn’t know much about him.

Yu Xi was different. He was a child that she trusted relatively more.

The only fault in this arrangement was the gap between Yu Xi and Jian Yiling’s age.

Due to this factor, Grandma Jian turned around to ask for Yu Xi’s opinion, “Yu Xi, if you have time these days, could you take Yiling out occasionally? I don’t have enough energy to take my darling to places like the amusement park.”

Even though Grandma Jian was in good health, she couldn’t keep up with rides and games that needed a lot of energy.

She couldn’t ask her granddaughter to follow her around every day to drink tea, appreciate the beauty of flowers, and watch the news.

“Of course I have time. I don’t have much to do these days.”

Yu Xi definitely had time for Jian Yiling. If they played Zerg Invasion together, Jian Yiling could carry him!

If Jian Yiling and Master Sheng both carried him, he could reach Grandmaster in no time!

Yu Xi elaborated on his previous sentence, “If Miss Jian doesn’t mind, I can come here often to play with her.”

If she didn’t mind that he was bad at the game.

After he finished speaking, Grandma Jian and Yu Xi both looked at Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling paused for a moment before she replied, “I don’t mind.”

It was actually true that she didn’t mind hanging out with Yu Xi.

“Okay, it’s decided then,” Grandma Jian said. “Beginning from tomorrow, you can spend less time in your study room. Although you shouldn’t go over to play games every day, you can head over two or three times during the week. One or two hours at night sounds good. It’s important to have a balance between work and play. During the weekends, if Yu Xi has time, he can take you to fun places such as the amusement park.”
