Chapter 10 (1/2)

G.o.d's Left Hand - Prelude: Chapter 10

The final result didn’t surprise Ai Qing.

The moment that Solo had lightheartedly said that it was just for fun, she knew that he had at least 70% certainty of winning.  He had always been a qualified captain, having never made an uncertain decision.

After the game, Slide thoughtfully ordered a case of local beer.

The average age of everyone was about 18 or 19.  Even though many of them carried the aura of professional players, but when they raised the 330ml beer bottles, they were still just a bunch of youngsters.  Dt even smiled somewhat bashfully when the others pushed him to drink.  He only symbolically touched his bottle with Solo’s and took a sip.

Solo left the next day.  It was the day of the final compet.i.tion of Ai Qing’s Need for Speed event.

She was the only one who had an event on the first day of the tournament.  Most of her teammates stayed in the cabin room for some high intensity training.

At the outskirt of the arena, there were all kinds of cosplayers; many of them were in Warcraft costumes.  Ai Qing sat inside of the arena and quite happily watched the cosplayers.  A Singaporean staff member came over and gave her the grouping arrangements.  They said it was based on random drawings amongst the 10 plus players to decide on the match up.

“This is random?” Slide took the chart out of her hand and looked at it.

“I don’t think so.” Ai Qing pointed at the group of the Singaporean contestants. “The opponents for the three Singaporeans are all from weaker countries.  Mine is the champion from the last Asian Tournament.”

The two looked at each other.

The organizer’s tricks was quite obvious to a discerning mind.

Ai Qing wasn’t too concerned; Need for Speed didn’t have that many fans in China anyway.  But if this were Dt’s event, then for sure no one would agree if the organizer still operated underhandedly.

Slide probably also thought about this.  He hesitated for a few seconds.  “Should we protest to the organizer?”

Ai Qing was hesitating, too.

Not far from them, teams from other countries were also quietly discussing; Korean, English, and many unknown national languages.  It seemed that everyone was not satisfied with the organizer secretly making the grouping arrangement…...When she looked back, she realized that not only Slide was here, Dt also skipped training and sat outside the arena waiting to watch the compet.i.tion.

He seemed to have seen the facial expressions of Ai Qing and Slide.  He quickly stood up and walked towards them.
