As the Esports King of Yanyuan University, Wang Zhonglin has a bit of renown in the competitive gaming scene of Yan Country, so naturally, he wouldn't take Ye Xiao seriously.

Clearly, in Wang Zhonglin's view, Ye Xiao couldn't possibly be his match. In fact, even in the entirety of Bird City, he hadn't heard of anyone who could surpass him.

"Should I pick?" Ye Xiao heard Wang Zhonglin's words, chuckled, and immediately said to Jiang Miaoke beside him, "Looks like Brother Lin here is quite generous. He knows we're bound to lose, so he's giving us a head start."

Jiang Miaoke heard this, and immediately felt so furious that her lungs almost exploded. She really couldn't understand, what was the point of all this posturing?

For Jiang Miaoke, directly and straightforwardly defeating Wang Zhonglin was the most straightforward and effective method.

Ye Xiao noticed that Jiang Miaoke ignored him, which seemed within his expectations. He smiled awkwardly and glanced at the side wall, where there were many trophies, including awards from multiple world events like the WCG. However, these awards were only around the top ten, not particularly outstanding, but for other domestic events less than those, he had won several first places.

Ye Xiao took a cursory glance and then smiled at Wang Zhonglin, saying, "I don't play many games. How about this, besides League of Legends, I'll name two more, and I'm sure you'll be very familiar with them too."

Wang Zhonglin looked at Ye Xiao, thinking that Ye Xiao wanted to pick a game he wasn't familiar with.

But just when Wang Zhonglin thought this, Ye Xiao said, "CS!"

CS?

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Wang Zhonglin and the other members of the gaming club froze for a moment, and then they all burst into laughter, and it was purely mocking laughter.

"Is this guy an idiot? Brother Lin has won at least three first places in CS, and he dares to show off?"

"Yes, it's purely seeking death!"

Even Jiang Miaoke and Ye Ziyan frowned slightly, because they knew that Wang Zhonglin's best game wasn't League of Legends but CS, the shooting game.

"What did you say?" Wang Zhonglin laughed and looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Are you sure you want to choose CS?"

"Yes!"

"Seems like I need to be honest with you, CS is my strong suit!" Wang Zhonglin laughed and said, "So, I'm allowing you to change your choice now."

Allowing a change!

This was evidently an upper-level person's words to a low-level person.

However, Ye Xiao was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Brother Lin is really considerate. It's just my bad luck that my first choice hit a minefield, but I'm pretty stubborn. Since I've chosen, I won't change. There's one more game, and I hope I won't step into another minefield."

Wang Zhonglin heard this and stopped talking, quietly waiting for Ye Xiao's next choice.

"Do you prefer old games or new games?" Ye Xiao suddenly asked Wang Zhonglin.

"What do you mean?" Wang Zhonglin asked Ye Xiao in confusion.

"It's nothing, really. I was just asking. After all, whatever game we're comfortable with, we'll play whatever. Anyway, I feel that the chances of winning today are not very high," Ye Xiao said with a wry smile.

"Haha, seems like you have some self-awareness." Wang Zhonglin laughed, looking at Ye Xiao, saying, "But, for your sincerity, let me tell you, I have explored all the current competitive games on the market. I can't say how well I play, so feel free to choose."

"Then it's Warcraft!" Ye Xiao said.

As soon as Ye Xiao finished speaking, Jiang Miaoke immediately pulled on Ye Xiao's arm.

Ye Xiao looked at Jiang Miaoke in surprise.

Jiang Miaoke frowned and said to Ye Xiao, "It's said that he once played against the Esports King SKY and lasted about forty-five minutes before losing."

"What do you want to say?" Ye Xiao asked, looking at Jiang Miaoke.

"Don't you think choosing Warcraft is actually courting death?" Jiang Miaoke said in a low voice.

"Who said we would definitely play that game?" Ye Xiao retorted at Jiang Miaoke.

Jiang Miaoke, Ye Ziyan, and Wang Zhonglin were all taken aback, wondering if Ye Xiao couldn't even play Warcraft at all.

At this moment, Wang Zhonglin became genuinely interested in Ye Xiao, though it was in a mocking way.

Before Jiang Miaoke could speak, Ye Xiao immediately looked at Wang Zhonglin and said, "Can we start now? It wouldn't be good if we delay dinner."

"We can start anytime!" After saying this, Wang Zhonglin looked at the fat guy beside him and said, "Get him a decent computer and a premium account, with all the runes. I don't want to bully others."

The fat guy knew Wang Zhonglin was sincere because, in playing esports games, Wang Zhonglin never used any tricks. To Wang Zhonglin, using scheming means to win a game was an insult to himself.

"Yes, Brother Lin!" the fat guy said with a smile, and then he looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "My account may not be the best, but it's average enough, with everything there. Want to use it?"

"No way!" Ye Xiao replied.

The fat guy frowned slightly and said, "Do you look down on it?"

Ye Xiao immediately shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I'll lose and ruin your stats."

"Haha, it's okay, I'm willing," the fat guy laughed loudly upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, clearly not thinking highly of Ye Xiao at all.

"But I still can't use it!"

"Why are you making so much fuss?" the fat guy said, looking at Ye Xiao. "Do you perhaps want to use a level 3 alt account to compare with our Brother Lin?"

"Exactly!" Ye Xiao said, "You guys probably have practice alt accounts here, so I think it's better and fairer for us to use alt accounts to battle."

The fat guy, hearing Ye Xiao's words, immediately looked at Wang Zhonglin.

Wang Zhonglin looked at Ye Xiao, smiled slightly, and said, "Do as you said."

Ye Xiao, hearing Wang Zhonglin's words, immediately smiled and said to Wang Zhonglin, "Thank you, Brother Lin. By the way, Brother Lin, let's talk about business now."

"What business?"

"Of course, it's about the bet. You see, if we don't clarify the terms of the bet, after the match, regardless of who wins or loses, someone might try to back out. So, I think it's better if we make it clear," Ye Xiao said, looking at Wang Zhonglin with an innocent face.

Wang Zhonglin looked at Ye Xiao, not knowing what was wrong. Although Ye Xiao was smiling, he couldn't shake off an inexplicable discomfort.
