Su Penghao’s eyes shone with antic.i.p.ation as he said this.
Defeating Forget Chuan would be like slap to her face!
This girl didn’t look very much older than him. What did she have to deserve to be their trainer?
All eyes were on Qiao Lian now, bright with antic.i.p.ation of an outstandingly exciting match.
Qiao Lian bit her lips when she heard this.
She tightened her fists in her pockets.
Her gaze fell on somebody’s laptop that was resting on the living room table. On its screen was the familiar Lot interface. It attracted her, making it impossible for her to resist.
Still biting her lips, she felt the temptation to accept the challenge. Her fingers began to tremble.
Qiao Lian looked down in an attempt to hide her own disappointment.
Then she said softly, “I dare not.”
Upon these three words, the room fell silent.
Su Penghao did not expect such an answer and immediately laughed. “At least you have some self-awareness.”
He was not aware of any outstanding female gamer so far. Besides Xiao Qiao from back then, he was confident that he would not lose to anyone else.
He believed that Qiao Lian didn’t dare accept the challenge because she knew she couldn’t defeat him. If she didn’t take the challenge, she would still be able to have the benefit of the doubt. But if she had taken it, then her reputation would surely go down the drain.
He smirked disdainfully.
In the past, whenever he listened to Forget Chuan’s livestream, he would feel that she was always able to accurately deliver. Actually, he used to be quite impressed with her.
But now…
He felt like women were so petty.
Unlike Shen Liangchuan, who let his skills do the talking.
Thinking back on the match between them, he paused and frowned.
Ever since the night before, he had had the odd feeling that his opponent’s moves were familiar. But he just couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
Qiao Lian’s admission that she didn’t dare to accept the challenge had cause the team members to doubt her capability.
With the exception of Smiling Tiger, the others were all looking down at their mobile phones, obviously snubbing Qiao Lian. She smiled when she realized.
She understood very well that great gamers had the common traits of being arrogant and obstinate. Hence she was well-prepared, even before coming.
She took a step forward and said, “Although I’m not an avid gamer, even the best doctors in the world have their teachers; the top athletes have their coaches; and every scientist was once taught by an ordinary teacher. I think if the boss has employed me to be your trainer, then at least it proves that I’m not totally hopeless.”
Su Penghao sneered at her. “What’s the use of being a glib talker?”
Qiao Lian turned towards him. “Zombie Leader, they say you’re an all-rounder style gamer. But from my observations, you do have an area of weakness.”
Su Penghao paused. “And what would that be?”
“The Master.”
He was stunned.
Then she turned to the others. “Ancestor White Bones, your strength is in your steady attack, but your weakness is that you don’t quite fit in with the team. As for Smiling Tiger…”
One after the other, she gave each team member an a.n.a.lysis of their strengths and weaknesses.
After she had given them feedback, she saw that everyone had started to put their cell phones aside. They looked up at her with a serious expression.
Very good.
Qiao Lian knew that she had their attention now. “So are you guys ready to cooperate and start the training?”
Smiling Tiger and Ancestor White Bones took the lead in putting away their cell phones and walked up to the table to retrieve their own laptops. Then they turned towards her.
