Chapter 619: Si Fuqing: Because I’m NINE (2)

Translator: _Min_

The forums of the Great Xia region were abuzz with excitement.

[Will NINE the God actually show up? It’s been such a rare occasion since his comeback, and I’m curious about his appearance.]



[His gaming skills are unquestionably top-notch! But don’t hold your breath for his looks—I’ve seen him, and he’s just an older guy.]

[?? Where did you see him?]

[I don’t know about meeting NINE, but I’ll definitely see my goddess! Si Fuqing is the spokesperson, so she’s bound to come!]

After Si Fuqing became the spokesperson for Oracle, her commercial value skyrocketed, surpassing that of second-tier celebrities despite not having a complete body of work yet.

None of her contemporaries could compete with her in terms of endorsements.

Several influential bloggers had already started comparing Si Fuqing with top actresses.

Around this time, Lemon Entertainment hastily announced their contract termination with Meng Xue and went silent afterwards.

Moreover, Meng Xue’s social media accounts remained inactive.

Not just insiders, but even outsiders understood what this silence signified.

Meng Xue had been blacklisted without a trace or warning.

Her remaining fans were in an uproar, unable to reach her agent or company, and could only vent in her forum.



Curiosity arose among onlookers.

[Rumor has it she got into trouble overseas and was deported back here.]

[Pay up, pay up. I told you she’d be next, now you all owe me.]

[I’m still curious about what she did. It’s not like she committed murder or arson...]

While netizens reveled in the gossip, Chi Yu came online.

He reposted Oracle’s announcement of Si Fuqing becoming their spokesperson, accompanied by three words.

[@ChiYuV: I’m sorry.]

He pinned this post to the top of his profile.

Fans of D6 were bewildered.

[??? What’s going on?]

[Though I’m confused, it’s definitely related to Meng Xue. Who doesn’t know



Surrounded by worn-out esports desks and chairs and damaged mechanical keyboards, three young men sat on the floor, their clothes washed to a faded white.

“If we hadn’t offended the Ji family, we wouldn’t have been cut off from equipment,” one of them lamented. “Maybe... maybe you should just join their team, captain. Don’t let your esports career end like this.”

“Why should I join their team?” the captain scoffed. “I’d rather quit gaming.

Today, Yi’an is coming; don’t talk like that.”

The teammates exchanged looks and sighed.

Twenty minutes later, the warehouse door opened.

As the three turned, they jumped up in surprise.

One stuttered in disbelief, “You, you, you...”

Although they were not involved in the entertainment industry, focusing solely on esports, logging into Oracle since yesterday greeted them with a popup featuring Si Fuqing’s photo and a gift package from the Oracle system.

Anyone playing Oracle would recognize Si Fuqing’s face, even if they didn’t know her name.

Why would a major celebrity suddenly visit this forsaken place?

The trio was stunned.

“Jing Zhou, this is my cousin,” Nian Yi’an stepped forward. “This is the situation, my cousin and I are planning to compete in OPL, but it’s too late to form a team. We’re wondering if you have any spots available.”

“We do have a slot for the OPL qualifiers,” Jing Zhou frowned. “Is Miss Si just participating in the qualifiers? Didn’t the Mars team invite you?”

“No,” Si Fuqing lifted her head. “OPL finals.”

This declaration changed the atmosphere.

“Miss Si, reaching the OPL finals is not as easy as you think,” Jing Zhou took a aeep Dream, usiDIY agitatea. ••mrsc, you neea a team strong enougn, witn eacn member’s APM over 350.”

APM over 300 were enough for professional competitions, but 350 was just the beginning for the OPL finals. The lowest APM in the West Deities team was 420.

“Do you know the transfer fee for players with reflexes over 350?” Jing Zhou pressed his lips together. “Thirty million! Miss Si, I know money isn’t an issue for you, but why would those players transfer? You can’t buy such professional players with money!”

“If you really want to reach the finals, you should join the Mars team,” Jing Zhou advised.

Si Fuqing listened quietly, without objection.

“We lack both manpower and resources,” Jing Zhou turned away, looking weary. “You say you want to join my team and reach the finals, but based on what?”

After a year of struggling without securing proper resources or equipment, he was close to giving up.

But even if he abandoned esports, he would never turn to the Ji family for help.

Si Fuqing leaned forward, meeting his gaze: “Because I’m NINE..”
