Chapter 177 - Kingdom Guards (3)
Chapter 177 – Kingdom Guards (3)
The final round started, Xu Nuan stretched her fingers before she started the game. She was planning to give it her all but seeing her other teammates exciting, thrilling expressions, she changed her mind.
When the game started, she didn't do anything and just watched the game comfortably. She made her Avatar hide behind the bushes while the other characters were fighting for survival.
She wanted to give them some time to play and have fun.
These students have come so far in the game, she can't just end the game in a few minutes.
It's not good for the powerful to bully the weak, with that mindset she leaned back comfortably to relax.
The people who were watching the game were confused as to why the girl wasn't moving around and was hiding behind the bushes.
"Is she afraid of dying?"
" Don't tell me she doesn't have the confidence to play the individual game?"
" Hah! I knew it. How can a newbie girl play better than Aurora? It must be a coincidence that she won." People sitting in the audience started making comments about her cowardly behavior and were jeering at her.
Xingren also couldn't help but smirk seeing how cowardly she was acting. " See, this kind of coward doesn't deserve to be part of Xin Lin." She said to her friend who also nodded, agreeing to her comment.
Xu Nuan yawned seeing the progression of the match. It was taking too long now.
She was tired since she went to the broadcasting station last night with the girls where they have been invited as guests.
The shoot ended at dawn, after the shoot she didn't get any time to sleep as she needed to get ready for the competition.
She didn't even get to close her eyes for a minute to relax. Playing these games was making her head throb with pain. Since it was wintertime, her injuries from the accident started acting up again, giving her a throbbing headache.
A painful frown appeared on her forehead, she rubbed her temples trying to stay awake. " Ah, I wish I could get a coffee," she groaned in pain while rubbing her temples.
" Aurora is the best!! Aurora!! Aurora!!" she was startled when she heard the cheers for Aurora from the audience.
She looked at the screen and noticed that he had killed the other two teammates already and was now moving to her side.
It has been only 20 minutes since the game started and he suppressed two players alone? Not bad!
–
In the game, his character was holding the sword and was walking towards her with bloody intent in his eyes.
A proud smirk made her lips curled up, she let out a low chuckle and tilted her head to see Aurora who was focused in the game, looking at his screen.
"Phwwtt!" She whistled at him, making him look over at her in confusion.
Since he was wearing the headphones, he couldn't hear what she did but he could feel her constant burdensome gaze.
He removed his eyes from the screen for a moment and glanced at her, however, he was left dumbfounded when she smirked and said, "All the best. Show your best!" She said, he wasn't sure if she was Cheering for him or was challenging him.
It didn't look as she meant it in a positive way, though!
He also noticed that she was playing all this while. He didn't attack her yet to return the favor for helping in the last round but it doesn't mean that he was going to be easy on her.
Game is game, just to thank her, he wasn't planning to lose to her.
However, her expressions…how can she be so chill? Wasn't she hiding from them because she was afraid to play the individual match?
–
Xu Nuan smirked and finally moved her fingers on the keyboard. Aurora's Avatar lunged on hers to slash her throat but her Avatar simply dodged to the side at impeccable speed and stabbed Aurora in the back.
Game Over!!.
"…."
Aurora died in the game in less than a minute!!
His eyes widened in shock as he couldn't grasp the situation. What just happened? Did he…did he just lose the game to a girl in less than a minute? The college-prince, Ace of online games in his dorm lost a girl? That too as soon as the game started?
She ended the game before it could start properly. He couldn't help but scoff seeing how he cheered for him.
She was mocking him!
Now he realized why she was hiding all along from them, she made him deal with the other two players during the whole game and in the end, to win the game she only needed to kill him.
She wasn't playing in the game but she was playing with their minds all along.
What a fox!!

After the match, Xingren left the auditorium with her friend. They were walking in the corridor when her friend said, " Xingren, what do you think, why did that girl deny the prize money? How can someone reject a large sum of prize money? I can never!" She shook her head as she still couldn't forget what just happened.
After the match, when the dean of the college, who rarely attended the events, was not only present during the game but was giving the girl her trophy and check of the winning prize money.
However, the girl only accepted the trophy. She rejected the prize money saying, " Thank you for the prize but I can't accept this. As a winner, shouldn't I be getting a chance to choose my prize?" She said confidently, her words caused the chaos in the auditorium.
Mr. Wen could only laugh at the young girl's attitude and asked, " You want to choose your prize? What do you want?" He asked casually.
He has a great fondness of online games, that's why he started the tradition of eSports competition every two years.
This way, the college gets new talent and the involvement with popular businessmen brings fundings to the college as well.
In the history of Xin Lin, no one has ever rejected the prize money. What can be better than the prize money?
The girl's attitude was bold and risky just like her game. This kind of bold and brazen attitude, he likes it. She has the capability to challenge every difficulty in her life with her boldness.
"Mr. Wen seems to be taking my words as a joke." Xu Nuan smiled as she caressed her trophy.
She took a deep breath and said, "About the prize…I will tell you separately. Shall we continue this conversation to your office?" She requested.
The faculty teachers were confused seeing the girl's bold attitude. He is the dean of the college and not a teacher with whom she wants to meet separately to clear the doubts.
~
Hearing her friend's words, Xingren clutched the books in her hands tightly and wondered what prize the girl must have asked.
The girl went to dean's office to see him and wondered what could they been talking.
' Her voice….it sounded similar to Xu Nuan…' she thought. However, she shook her head to not think rubbish when she remembered that when it comes to technology, Xu Nuan was the last.
She even used to use her phone to call and messages only. There were no games or any other apps in her phone.
' How can a girl like her be so good at games? Impossible!!'
