The eSports King’s Crush

Everyone present had realized that there was a problem with the amount of food.

Of course, that included Mo Bei.

She looked over, her handsome profile devoid of any emotion.

She only swung the arm she commonly used and prepared to go check the refrigerator to see if there were any ingredients that could be used inside.

“Everyone set aside one-fifth of your rice.”

All of a sudden, a nonchalant voice was heard.

It was Feng Nai. He stood there with a plain black team uniform draped over his shoulders. His posture was still laid-back, but his gaze was penetratingly dark.

Then, he paced over to the assistant with a hand in his pocket. “Your bonus this month is gone.”

“Okay.” The assistant bowed his head and wiped his cold sweat. After working with Almighty for a long time, he had learned that this person, who seemed like just a good-looking guy, had his own rules when it came to the treatment of the battle team’s members.

Meanwhile, Granny Gray glanced in their direction.

He was slightly puzzled. Why was Chief making things difficult for the assistant because of Mo Nan?

In his opinion, Mo Nan realistically did not qualify to be their teammate.

There was no reason to blame the assistant for not including him.

Although his cooking skills were unimaginably good, this wasn’t a cooking competition.

He would set aside his rice, though. It didn’t matter if he had one mouthful more or less.

Hopefully, during the friendly competition, Mo Nan would be able to convince him.

Otherwise, he really didn’t want to be in the same battle team with such a person.

As he thought of the means this person had used in order to gain attention, he felt uneasy all over.

His past deeds were still all over the internet.

Sometimes, he had to hand it to Mo Nan.

Despite his state, he had still come to compete?

Did he have no pride whatsoever?

The atmosphere around the dining table couldn’t be considered warm.

Even though Panda the foodie was present, the situation didn’t improve.

After all, in a sense, it wasn’t just the people online who weren’t willing to accept Mo Bei. Even the battle team had not accepted Mo Bei as a part of them.

After dinner, it was time for the internal meeting concerning the friendly competition.

“This time, Almighty K cannot play. Otherwise, the capability gap will be too big.” The assistant conveyed the company’s opinion. “Every battle team will have two average players that will be randomly matched. Thus, the system of this friendly competition will be three against three. Now, I will announce the list of players who will participate. Han Xi, Gray, FromNorthToSouth.”

Upon hearing his own name before Mo Nan’s name, Granny Gray frowned for a moment. “Does the arrangement have to be like this?”

“The list was decided by the company.”

Granny Gray stopped talking, evidently displeased with this arrangement.

Never mind, Han Xi had been included anyway. Even if Mo Nan was too lousy, the two of them would carry the team.

There was nothing else that they needed to take note of.

The assistant only had to speak to the new support alone, so he pulled Mo Bei aside.

“Um, Mo Nan.” The assistant coughed lightly. Due to his earlier mistake, his tone was much more restrained. “It’s too chaotic online right now. During this competition, you need to take note of the camera and stay away from Almighty K. Otherwise, the fans will be unhappy. Almighty K doesn’t like this kind of thing either. After all, the fact that you used him to gain attention hasn’t blown over, so we’re afraid…”

“Okay.”

Before the assistant could finish, he was cut off by this one-word answer.

Mo Bei looked at him, her gaze looking very indifferent. There wasn’t any emotion in it whatsoever, as if her eyes could only reflect the image of the game on the screens in the background. “Is there anything else?”

It was probably because the other party’s attitude was so indifferent, but he felt like this wasn’t real.

The assistant was forced to pause for a moment. “No…”
