Chapter 289
The graduation appreciation banquet lasted until after eight o'clock in the evening.
Having had a bit to drink, Ji Zhouye was even more excited. He grabbed Rong Yu's hand and coaxed, Great-Grandma, there is an esports tournament in Haicheng tonight at nine-thirty. My absolute favorite goddess is coming to Haicheng for a league match for the first time. I have to get a photo with her no matter what. Great-Grandma, Fourth Brother, do you want to go together?
Rong Yu always had a desire to explore new things.
She had tried playing video games before but did not find them particularly difficult. She never expected it could develop into an international league.
She also wanted to see what level truly skilled gamers were at.
Rong Yu nodded.
Ji Jingchuan immediately followed suit. After making a quick call to inform Old Master Ji, the trio drove off to the competition center.
Inside the esports arena, the lights were dazzling. The giant screen was broadcasting the showdown between Team XY and Team Thunder live. The audience seats were packed, with cheers and shouts rising one after another.
Great-Grandma, let me tell you, my goddess is the captain of Team XY, Ji Zhouye said, pointing excitedly at the big screen. See that? The one in the middle, the only girl, that is the esports goddess, Yaoyao. She is so cool.
No sooner had his voice faded than a disdainful laugh came from nearby.
Hilarious, Yaoyao actually has fans.
She spends all day marketing her esports goddess persona while her gameplay is absolute trash. She would be better off being an internet celebrity!
She only knows how to play utility heroes to get by. If you actually make her carry, her true colors show immediately!
Ji Zhouye was instantly furious. Pointing right at their noses, he shouted, Team XY could not even make it to the playoffs before. Yaoyao came and completely carried them! Last year in the national tournament, she pulled off an extreme one-versus-three counter-kill and became a legend on the spot. She fully deserves the title of esports goddess, okay!
On the giant screen, the character Yaoyao was controlling suddenly executed a beautiful dash, leading her teammates to complete a flawless team wipe.
Did you see that? That is pure skill! Ji Zhouye stood up in excitement. Yaoyao is the main reason Team XY made it to where they are today!
Faced with the facts, that group of people could only shut their mouths.
Rong Yu watched the gaming competition in awe.
Yaoyao's positioning was incredibly precise, and every skill release was timed perfectly. The opponents' attacks surged like a tidal wave, yet she could calmly tear open a breach in the rapidly changing battlefield.
Rong Yu's fingertips tapped unconsciously on her knee, her brain working at lightning speed. If it were her, could she calculate such a tactic?
Not necessarily.
Gaming was not just math; it was intuition, experience, and split-second situational reactions.
No wonder the kid Ji Zhouye was so addicted to it. This was far more thrilling than she had imagined.
In the final team fight, Yaoyao baited the enemy into overextending, while her teammates flanked them with perfect synergy, annihilating the opponents in one fell swoop. The moment the crystal exploded, the entire arena erupted!
We won! Ji Zhouye stood up and cheered. Yaoyao won! That was so awesome, so cool!
He grabbed Rong Yu and Ji Jingchuan. Let us go, to the backstage! I want to get a photo and autograph from Yaoyao. Hurry, if we are late, we will not be able to squeeze in!
There were people everywhere. Rong Yu was pushed along by the crowd as a throng of people squeezed toward the exit.
Security guards maintained order, escorting the team members out from backstage. The girl leading the pack wore a black leather jacket, her long, straight black hair draped over her shoulders. Her skin was incredibly pale, her lips a vibrant red, and her eyes carried a hint of sharpness.
Yaoyao!
Yaoyao, I love you!
The fans were mostly male, screaming at the top of their lungs.
Fourth Brother, quick, lift me up! I need to get Yaoyao's attention! Ji Zhouye climbed onto the railing and sat on Ji Jingchuan's shoulders, shouting, Yaoyao, look at me, look over here! I have been following you for three years, please let me get a picture with you!
Ji Jingchuan was speechless.
He was honestly struggling to hold him up.
Rong Yu was thoroughly exasperated.
She reached out and helped support the kid's rear end.
Yaoyao, who was just about to get into her car, suddenly turned her head to look over. When she saw Ji Zhouye in the crowd, she was visibly stunned for a good moment.
Soon, she walked toward Ji Zhouye's direction, her bright red lips curving up slightly. You have been watching my matches since three years ago?
Ji Zhouye's breathing quickened, his cheeks flushing red. Yes! Three years ago, right when you became a professional esports player, I started following you. Goddess, please give me an autograph, please take a photo with me!
Yaoyao smiled and nodded. Okay.
Ji Zhouye was so excited he was about to faint. He shoved his phone into Ji Jingchuan's hands. Fourth Brother, make me look handsome.
Rong Yu's brow suddenly twitched.
For some reason, when this girl named Yaoyao walked over, her heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable... She did not know where this discomfort was coming from.
After the photo was taken.
Yaoyao offered, Very few people started following me three years ago. Why do we not add each other as friends? I will notify you directly when there are matches in the future.
Ji Zhouye nodded frantically. Yes, that is great! Yaoyao, I will support you forever!
After exchanging contact info, Yaoyao's gaze swept lightly over Rong Yu. Her slender brows furrowed imperceptibly before she turned around and got into the car.
Countless people around them cast envious glances at Ji Zhouye.
Smug, Ji Zhouye edited the photo and uploaded it to his social media, where it instantly garnered over ten thousand likes.
Rong Yu's brows remained tightly furrowed.
Ji Jingchuan asked in a low voice, Great-Grandma, is there a problem with this girl named Yaoyao?
Rong Yu occasionally believed in a woman's sixth sense.
Previously, there was He Liuguang kidnapping Duoduo.
She did not want the Ji family to go through such terrible things again.
She spoke up, Achuan, go look into her.
Ji Jingchuan nodded. Rest assured, Great-Grandma, I will definitely find out everything.
The very next day, he brought back the information.
Yaoyao's real name was Zhao Yaomei, an ordinary girl from a rural village in the south. She dropped out of high school to work in an electronics factory. Three years ago, she suddenly chose to enter the esports industry and became famous after a single battle. From then on, everything went smoothly for her. In just three short years, she reached the absolute pinnacle of the esports world, becoming the esports goddess idolized by countless male fans.
Looking at her resume, she was a very outstanding girl with no major issues.
Rong Yu temporarily put the matter aside. Next, she had to go to the capital to record the theme song for a mainstream movie.
Her octogenarian son, naturally, was clinging to her and insisting on tagging along.
