After deciding to use these few days as a buffer period, Rebecca wasted no time and immediately started packing her luggage.According to the guide sent by Alex, today was the first day of the competition. The entire season would last for four days. It meant that they had to stay in Crechester for at least a few days.They couldn't rush back overnight after watching the competition. If the matches dragged on and extra rounds were needed, the game would go on until the early morning. It would be foolish of them to rush back to Fairport instead of finding a hotel to rest.Moreover, Rebecca didn't agree to go to Crechester to just watch the competition.She had heard that Crechester was a picturesque city. There was a wetland park near the border with Fairport. It would be a good opportunity for her to explore the area.She didn't want to return to Fairport so soon, either.However, her family was here, and she was going to miss them a lot. She always reckoned that her parents a
The journey to Crechester went smoothly. It wasn't peak tourist season at this time of year, and with school about to start, most tourists had already left. The train wasn't too crowded as well, which was quite different from what Rebecca had seen in videos from abroad.From what she could recall, Fairport had always been a crowded city. It was terribly intimidating.But this journey had made her realize that was not always the case.Apart from the crowds, the newly renovated buildings had also caught her eye. If it weren't because she didn't have enough time, she would have taken her time and explored the nearby areas.The train from Fairport to Crechester took only half an hour, and the scenery along the journey was stunning.Rebecca had chosen a window seat. With her eyes wide open the entire journey, she rested her chin on her hand as she gazed at the rivers and trees.It was the end of summer, with autumn around the corner. There were no lotus flowers in the small ponds along the
"Bang!"Before the man could call Rebecca “pretty lady” again, a heavy thud echoed through the air. The passengers on the train all turned their heads after hearing the sound.As they turned and looked, they saw that Rebecca did a shoulder throw and slammed the man onto the ground. The whole coach went silent. Even the sound of the doors closing was lost to the silence.It was only when the doors closed completely, and the train started moving again that everyone was snapped out of their trance.The man was the first to react.Being thrown to the ground by a slender girl in front of so many people made the man feel absolutely embarrassed. As he got up from the ground, he started cursing at Rebecca. The cursing, mixed with a bunch of terribly vulgar words, made everyone feel uncomfortable.Rebecca couldn't help but furrow her brows. Even though she was still shocked that she had just successfully thrown an adult man to the ground with her bare hands, those dirty words di
The man was also someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong.Upon hearing Rebecca's words, he immediately apologized, as he wanted to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.His softened attitude was surprising, considering his earlier arrogance and disregard for others. Now, it was as if he could almost kneel down and kowtow to Rebecca.It was truly amusing to see.The farce didn't last long.Soon enough, the subway stopped at the next station. Taking advantage of the crowd getting on the train, the man swiftly squeezed his way out and disappeared from everyone’s sight.With that kind of agility, he might have actually thrived in cities like Seardale.After all, there were plenty of people like him in Seardale, but most of them couldn't run as fast as him. If caught, they would undoubtedly be beaten up.In this comparison, the man had definitely had it easy.Rebecca thought to herself and heaved a sigh. She then picked up her luggage, thanked the group of young, beautiful gi
In the pre-match predictions, based on XH Club's previous performance, they still had many fans who supported them. Although they barely made it into the playoffs, almost all the commentators predicted that XH still had a chance to win the championship.Unfortunately, due to Alex’s injury, he could only do so much.In fact, his determination had worsened the injury. He kept making mistakes during the playoffs, which caused the team to be eliminated in the very first round.They didn't even have a chance in the losers' bracket.What was even more embarrassing was that they lost to a small team from an overseas island state.As soon as the competition ended, criticism and insults flooded the internet.Not only was XH Club questioned and insulted by the fans and audiences, but the players themselves were also not spared.And at the forefront of these insults was Alex.After all, in esports, skills and strength were everything. No matter how great one was in the past, they would be critici
In the comments, there was no criticism but only a record of the matches Alex had played.There were the dates of the matches and the impressive moves he had made that impressed his teammates and the audience.They were shown through words and screenshots.These were not just Alex's achievements, but also moments they have gone through together.Rebecca had not watched the match when she first read the comments, nor had she even played this game, but she was moved by the words written by the fans.It was as if she used to be in the audience cheering for Alex.In addition to these touching words written about the matches, there were also some sincere apologies.They were not apologies for criticizing Alex’s bad performance. They apologized because they had criticized Alex when he was at his peak and said that the team he led was a cold-blooded team. They had said their victories were the results of intensive robotic training, with no passion and devotion for the game like the other tea
Alex really didn't take Rebecca's words to heart.He had heard all these terrible comments four years ago.If he couldn’t take criticism, he wouldn't have lasted so long in the industry.Moreover, what Rebecca said wasn't that bad. She was just teasing him. It was nothing to him.However, Rebecca still felt guilty. She thought she had offended Alex with her words.Alex couldn't help but laugh. He raised his hand and ruffled Rebecca’s hair. "What's wrong? Are you going to look down on me now because I’m not a player anymore?"How was that possible?Rebecca widened her eyes in shock. She wondered if Alex knew what he was talking about.It was impossible for anyone to look down on Alex, who had won many championships!Other people would brag about it forever if they had won just one world championship. Alex had won three world championships!Besides, ever since the professional league was established, Alex had won many other championships in different seasons. She couldn’t even count them
Rebecca was shocked after hearing Alex's words. She had thought of Alex's intentions before, but she always dismissed them as his mischievous sense of humor. After all, Alex’s personality was completely different from Caleb's. He appeared carefree and easygoing, much like Sam. Besides, the age gap between them was just over a year. Joking among peers wasn't a big deal, and Rebecca's earlier complaints were meant in jest; she never intended to get angry. Now, hearing Alex speak so earnestly, Rebecca suddenly realized how presumptuous she had been toward him. At the same time, she felt ashamed of her own shortsightedness, as she had judged him with a narrow perspective. Upon closer reflection, she should have realized that Alex, who enjoyed gaming, wasn't merely someone who knew how to have fun. While others played games for leisure, he had truly delved into gaming and taken it to extreme lengths. Not everyone could turn their hobbies into a profession and maintain passio
