Chapter 399: A Misunderstanding of the Word “Noob”
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Han Ning had just claimed his first kill and was brimming with rage. Whenever he saw anyone from Huang Hao’s team, he would kill them on sight—even if it meant taking on four opponents at once.
In less than ten minutes, Han Ning’s team had gained the upper hand, claiming kill after kill, thanks to his relentless assault.
Feeling cornered, Huang Hao raised the white flag, typing, [Miss Seven, let’s just move on to the next round. We’ve lost this one.]
Rong Qi replied, [I haven’t died yet.]
“What?” Huang Hao questioned, doubting what he had just heard. “Miss Seven, in this game heroes can respawn, so death isn’t really an issue. We’re already falling behind economically, and both the top and middle lanes have been pushed to our towers. We’ve basically lost.”
[It’s your own fault for giving up those kills. I haven’t died yet,] came Rong Qi’s response again.
The same phrase once more.
Rong Qi refused to surrender, leaving Huang Hao and his team with no option but to continue playing, even if it was just to familiarize Rong Qi with the game’s rules.
Han Ning spotted Rong Qi roaming the bottom lane for support and scoffed disdainfully. Stealthily, he moved through the bushes to ambush her from behind. They crossed paths in the middle lane, and Han Ning’s initial attack cost Rong Qi nearly half her health. She retaliated while retreating, but just when she was hanging by a thread, Han Ning inexplicably died.
The players engaged in the game were left puzzled. They couldn’t figure out why Han Ning, their formidable jungler, fell so easily to Rong Qi’s fragile hero.
But that wasn’t even the most astonishing part. What followed was an incredible feat by Rong Qi, who single-handedly advanced to the enemy’s base and wiped out the entire team—dragging along her four underperforming teammates in the process.
“No way,” they muttered.
As if to punctuate their disbelief, Rong Qi pulled off yet another pentakill.
Her future performances were nothing short of awe-inspiring; every time she appeared, a pentakill was guaranteed. The catch was, she wouldn’t push the tower; she was solely focused on killing. This drove Han Ning and his team to the point of despair.
“This isn’t fair! You can’t use cheats in this game,” Han Ning accused.
Han Ning suspected Rong Qi of cheating. After all, how could he, a player of the King tier, be defeated so many times by a mere Gold-level player.
Rong Qi typed in response, [A cheater wouldn’t be this bad.]
“Miss Seven, do you have some misunderstanding about the word ‘noob’? Your stats are 21-0-7. How is that ‘bad’? Han Ning is a 60-star King tier player, for goodness’ sake!”
[Maybe you’re just worse than I am,] Rong Qi retorted.
Seeing Rong Qi’s sprightly hero darting around, Han Ning clenched his teeth in frustration. With no towers being pushed, his team had no choice but to surrender and start a new round.
Underestimating Rong Qi had cost them dearly in the previous round. So this time, they played extra cautiously.
And yet, they lost again.
Another round, another loss.
And another, and another…
“I quit. This is pointless,” Han Ning finally conceded defeat.
Huang Hao and his teammates were left flabbergasted. Even when they deliberately fed kills, Rong Qi still led them to victory.
‘This was too extraordinary, wasn’t it? Had we just been carried to victory by Miss Seven?’ Huang Hao thought.
A stunned silence settled over the room.
Rong Qi typed, [You’ve lost. Two sets of papers. I’ll send them to the group later.]
Huang Hao and his team panicked. He said, “Wait a minute, Miss Seven. You never said there would be penalties for losing.”
“I’m saying it now,” Rong Qi retorted.
Everyone looked at each other, bewildered. They had not only been humiliated in a casual late-night gaming session but also ended up with two sets of assignments. They couldn’t help but wonder if this was even humanly possible.
Huang Hao felt like crying. Had he known how this would turn out, he would never have invited her to play. They had seen Rong Qi come online and, remembering her infamy, thought it would be fun to take her down a notch. Little did they know, the joke was on them.
Dejected, the members of Class 7 logged off, vowing to avoid this game for a while.
Rong Qi exited the game as well and sent two sets of assignments to the class chat before logging off.
Stretching her body, she stood up, noticing that Ye Nan Shen had finished his work and was already in the bathroom..
