Chapter 36 Encounter with a Pro Gamer!
The four letters “Hedy” truly captured the attention of the three of them.
It was because there was also someone named Hedy at Lowell High School.
“Could it be the bumpkin ‘Goddess Hedy‘ from Class 7?” Boy B’s lips curled disdainfully.
He had been displeased with Hedy for a long time as he was a die–hard fan of Gloria.
“Just click it and we’ll find out,” urged Boy A.
Right under Gloria’s nose, the two of them clicked open this article.
Here was what it said:
During a live stream on Bigo Live last night, the popular male streamer, Ace, teamed up with a female gaming partner in BiTu Gaming.
Her BiTu Gaming username was: Hedy.
Her in–game nickname was: Cold–blooded Childe.
Throughout the live stream, this “Cold–blooded Childe” achieved an impressive average of 20 kills per game and led Ace to victory multiple times.
Meanwhile, the report center received numerous reports accusing her of cheating in the game.
As a result, the staff worked overtime and finally verified that Hedy did not cheat in the game!
This blew everyone’s minds!
How could a female player be this skilled?
Word had it that Hedy was also in the running for the “BiTu Gaming’s Best Female Gaming Partner” award.
If she won, she would even show up at the carnival!
And that concluded the article.
“Well, it’s not that girl from Class 7,” Boy B stated with conviction.
“She can’t be that versatile. How can she excel in studying, playing the drums, playing chess, and being so good at gaming?
I even doubt if she can play ‘Call of Duty‘.”
Gloria also relaxed.
Boy A pondered, “Getting 20 kills per game and catching the attention of the game developer, I bet she’s the top candidate for Best Female Gaming Partner.” NôvelDrama.Org content.
“I don’t know,” Gloria replied in a gentle voice, a glimmer of light flickering in her eyes.
Based on what she knew, Sunny was already the confirmed choice for “BiTu Gaming’s Best Female Gaming Partner.”
This Cold–blooded Childe Hedy couldn’t possibly appear alongside her at the carnival.
Although this “Hedy” was not the same as the other “Hedy,” it still
brought her some consolation.
She felt that anyone named “Hedy” should be a loser.
Class 7.
Hedy’s smooth white fingertips slid across her phone screen, putting it on silent mode, with a calm look on her beautiful face.
After a night of buzzing, Hedy’s BiTu Gaming backstage was flooded with orders.
And the notifications kept pouring in, indicating her popularity was skyrocketing.
She already had 13,000 picks, while Sunny, sitting at the top, had a whopping 70,000.
“Goddess Hedy, you still up for gaming with my brother tonight?” Sun approached, holding his phone.
“He’s saying, since you’re gunning for the Best Female Gaming Partner title, why not team up with him?
He’ll provide the viewership to help your campaign, and you’ll boost his popularity with all the hype around you. It’s a win–win deal.”
Well, Ace was indeed one sharp businessman.
He had managed to stand out among numerous streamers and become a popular influencer by no coincidence.
“Okay.” Hedy nodded.
That night, Ace teamed up with Hedy for a ranked match in the “duo
mode,” and there were only the two of them in the chat channel.
“Hey, Childe, good evening! Can you keep carrying me to victory tonight? I just wanna chill and win without breaking a sweat.”
Ace said, sneaking a peek at his live stream’s popularity ranking.
He had climbed up to fourth place in his section, one notch higher than yesterday.
Many new viewers had flocked to witness Hedy’s skill.
“Sure,” Hedy’s clear voice remained calm.
The game began, and Hedy unleashed a massacre, performing even better than the previous night!
The bullet comments were filled with praises for Hedy’s skills and some snarky remarks about the streamer being a total noob who only followed Hedy’s lead.
Ace couldn’t accept that.
“I can at least keep up with her pace and follow her lead. But you guys, no chance in hell you can catch up to her!”
A wave of “Indeed” bullet comments floated the chat.
They knew Ace’s skills, and they acknowledged Hedy’s strength as well.
Ordinary players teaming up with Hedy probably couldn’t even catch a glimpse of her.
Amidst the harmonious “indeed” comments, a line suddenly appeared:
“You seriously think Hedy is a girl? Seriously?”
Ace furrowed his brows, “What do you mean Hedy isn’t a girl? I am sure she is!”
After all, his younger brother and Hedy were classmates!
“Just because she speaks with a mic means she’s a girl? Haven’t you heard of voice changers?”
“Remember when a female gaming partner got exposed for being a guy using a voice changer?”
“And what about those girls who just chat with the viewers and let their live–in boyfriends do the actual gaming?”
“I don’t believe a girl gamer can be this good.”
Doubts started to pile up.
“Hedy, do you have a cam? Let me send you an invitation so you can show your face on the live stream.”
Ace’s face turned serious as he immediately thought of a solution to address the doubts.
“Sure,” Hedy responded calmly through the mic.
Soon, two camera feeds appeared on the screen in the live stream.
One was Ace, and the other was Hedy.
Ace’s camera showed his entire face, bearing a resemblance to Sun.
Hedy’s camera, on the other hand, revealed her hands on the keyboard, proving that she was personally playing and not using someone else as a stand–in.
This also meant that viewers couldn’t see anything above her neck.
In the camera frame, Hedy wore a pink rabbit–themed pajama, her slender hands skillfully maneuvering the keyboard and mouse.
“You still don’t believe she’s a girl? Now you see it. Just pick her and apologize!”
Ace seized the opportunity to solicit votes for Hedy, doing it so subtly that it went unnoticed.
With his reminder, even those who didn’t doubt Hedy started picking her.
The game continued.
As they parachuted down and landed, before they even started killing, a scrolling message appeared in the top right corner:
“IAM.jacky” used an AK–47 and eliminated it…..
“IAM.summer” used a Desert Eagle and scored a headshot kill…
“Holy shit, we’ve run into pro players!”
Ace was taken aback.
Jacky and Summer were both professional players from gaming teams. They were currently part of the IAM team and had recently won the
duo category, showcasing impeccable
world championship in th
teamwork.
Jacky was quite handsome and had countless female fans, with
popularity surpassing that of third–tier celebrities in the entertainment industry.
“Game God Jacky! The most handsome guy in the e–sports circle!”
“Game God Jacky!”
Fans of the renowned Game God Jacky, regardless of gender, flooded Ace’s channel as soon as they received the news.
Ten minutes later, the popularity of his livestream skyrocketed, reaching the top spot in the category.
Ace’s grin stretched from ear to ear.
“Can we win this round?” he asked Hedy.
If they managed to pull it off.
It would mean that Hedy defeated the world champion.
In that case, he wouldn’t even need to promote her.
There would be plenty of players picking Hedy!
“Yes,” Hedy’s voice remained as calm as ever.
Time passed.
The kill feed in the top right corner of the game was dominated by Hedy and the IAM duo.
Due to a mistake, Ace died early on and became a spectator, watching Hedy’s gameplay..
In the final circle, only five players remained.
Except for Hedy, the rest were in full squads.
It was a 1 vs. 2 vs. 2 situation.
Hedy encountered the other team first and swiftly eliminated them with precise shots, leaving her with just two bullets in the magazine.
“Awesome! Reload! IAM’s two players are coming!” Ace felt nervous.
As soon as he finished speaking, two special forces operatives appeared behind Hedy.
“They’re here!” Ace’s heart raced.
He thought it was all over. Hedy had just killed two players, and her magazine was down to two bullets. Did she stand any chance against professional players?
Hedy turned around and fired.
One shot hit Jacky.
One shot hit Summer.
