Chapter 360: Chapter 360

Actually, all those awkward moments that others thought Anna experienced, she didn’t.

She already anticipated that Wyatt wouldn’t come, so she didn’t want to waste any more time waiting.

After a brief interview, Anna asked the host, "Can we start now?"

"Sure! Uh, I’ll team up with you!"

The host noticed Wyatt still hadn’t arrived, but today’s game required at least a two-person team to proceed. The game team setup required at least two players, up to five, so they couldn’t let Anna perform a one-person show.

Now, the game company platform is also worried, urgently contacting Wyatt’s agent, but it seems like they have already made up their mind, and the phone just won’t connect.

If Mary wasn’t completely clueless about gaming, she would have gone herself.

However, Mary knows that what Anna needs now isn’t a newbie like her but a teammate who’s good at gaming to help stabilize today’s promotional event.

Only this way, people wouldn’t laugh at her.

That’s why Mary is also trying to contact friends in the circle to see if anyone can step in for Wyatt to save the day.

But she really doesn’t know who’s good at gaming, so she simply sent a group message to all her friends: [Emergency help! Anyone who’s good at esports games and happens to be free? Can you please come to The Monolithic Tower to support, will owe you one, how to repay will discuss later! Please!]

At this moment, Florian had just finished recording a new song, sitting tiredly in the nanny car yawning.

Kevin Jacobs is driving him home, persuading the stubborn young man to drink more warm water to protect his throat, there’s a tour concert next month, can’t wear himself out.

At this time, Kevin Jacobs’ phone rang.

He took a glance, shrugged, and then turned off the phone.

"Nothing, just a trashy WeChat ad!"

Florian didn’t really care; he was so tired and kept yawning but still refused to close his eyes to rest for a bit.

Young people’s nightlife is , won’t close their eyes until it’s past midnight; it’s their sense of dignity during youth.

Florian took out his phone planning to play some games to refresh himself, and saw Mary’s WeChat.

"Sister Mary says it’s an emergency, what is it really about?"

"What? She sent you a WeChat too? Why is she so annoying?"

Kevin Jacobs’ complaint revealed the fact that he lied earlier.

Florian didn’t bother to argue with him; even if Kevin Jacobs didn’t say, he could easily search online to see Anna participating in a game promotion event today, currently livestreaming where Wyatt had let her down.

Urgently need an esports master to save the day? Isn’t this a hero-saving-beauty scenario tailored for Florian?

He immediately responded, "Kevin, head to The Monolithic Tower!"

"Florian, do you really want to go? You’re already this tired, just go home and rest."

"If you won’t take me, just park up ahead and leave, I’ll drive myself there! Don’t forget how Anna helped me shoot an MV back then, and later that movie brought us quite the benefits. A person shouldn’t be overly self-serving!"

Kevin Jacobs, a mature man in his thirties, gets educated by eighteen-year-old Florian.

What’s essential is his education is quite reasonable, leaving no room to refute.

To this day, Kevin Jacobs often uses the movie Florian collaborated with Anna as a tag, quite assertive when discussing film projects. He couldn’t deny Anna is indeed a lucky star for Florian, but lately, Anna got involved in a scandal rumor.

In such times, the rule in the entertainment circle is to avoid if possible. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel·fıre·net

Kevin Jacobs doesn’t know how he became self-serving, maybe because in this big environment, everyone is driven by profits, he doesn’t even know when he became pragmatic.

But Florian insisted on going, as a ’mom-fan’, he couldn’t just let the boy drive fatigued.

Just indulge him, accompany him!

Meanwhile, the message Mary sent was seen by other male leads of "Customized Girlfriend." As long as they could spare the time, sooner or later, they were all on their way after finishing on the road to The Monolithic Tower.

On Anna’s side, just under the guidance of the host, she registered a game account.

The host seemed afraid Anna hadn’t played games before, even explained about nicknames to her.

She let Anna choose any name, preferably a longer one, to avoid duplicate registrations.

For instance, the role Anna plays as Charlotte in shows, the in-game character name ’Soaring Sky’ along with the male lead’s name ’Blazing Sun’, were registered early because of its popularity.

So Anna casually chose – [Asthmatic, Don’t Like Medicine].

At the same time, the host logged into her own account, turning on the two-person team competition mode.

Truth be told, the host at this moment was feeling quite insecure. Because even though she’s a game host, her livestreams relied more on her appearance, gaming skill was average, all thanks to the pros who carried her.

However, today she came just as a host, didn’t expect she herself would get on stage, not knowing if the company had any arrangements.

If there’s none, it’s gonna be embarrassing!

The two women entering the arena called ’Land of Slaughter’, when facing experts, they won’t be beaten to death?

But contrary to what she expected, they survived in the first round of chaos.

Anna wasn’t as much of a rookie as she thought, her game operation looked very smooth, her moves agile, and skill usage on point.

"Anna, do you normally play games?" The host asked her somewhat surprised.

"Yeah, I used to play a lot before I was eighteen, but these years while getting busy, could only play occasionally."

"Oh oh, so what do you think about your skills?"

The new game round began, Anna answering while playing, "I’m great, number one fairy in the nation!"

The host was speechless: "..."

She really climbed up a ladder, reaching for the sky!

The host being an influencer, has brought other industry performers before. Typically they humbly say their gaming skills are average before fans.

In reality, indeed average, since their schedule is tight, barely got time for gaming to practice hand speed?

To her knowledge, the industry’s best gaming performer should be the fresh meat Florian, unfortunately, never got a chance to work with him.

Moreover, explaining the busy schedule beforehand emphasizes dedication, considered finding a soft landing, in case getting killed in the game is embarrassing.

It’s the first time the host saw a female performer like Anna, so unreserved, she couldn’t help but sweat on her behalf.

Thinking: Did I give her the wrong impression? Don’t mistakenly assume sticking with me won’t get smacked, I’m just a noob after all!

After a few rounds, the host temporarily gave up her inner doubts.

She discovered Anna wasn’t bragging; she was truly amazing at gaming.

Registering into the arena, winning the first might be accidental or rookie-friendly system.

But as they kept winning more, rapidly advancing, the opponents in the arena weren’t novices anymore.

This game is a battle royale among a hundred competitors on designated map, where teams fight to the last crew standing wins.

Once the host unfortunately got hit and died, she wiped her face in despair, exchanging a sorry and sympathizing look with Anna, subtext being: I can’t help you anymore!

Unexpectedly, Anna single-handedly fought to the end, leading the uncooperative teammate to victory.

The host just had to sincerely say, "Wow! So awesome!"

Simultaneously, the chat broke out in cheers.

If earlier, everyone focused on Wyatt letting Anna down, now the chat already forgot who Wyatt is.

Everyone concentrated on Anna’s performance, seven consecutive victories, zero losses, quite an impressive feat for a newbie!

It’s the first time realizing girls can be this exciting while gaming!

Anna’s just like Charlotte herself!

At the same time, Marilyn’s also watching this livestream.

Originally thought Anna would get so embarrassed she couldn’t handle herself, instead, she was so steady.

Seeing Marilyn’s eyebrows lightly furrowed, Mary immediately understood, "Marilyn, the Ford Group has investments in esports this year, right? I’ve already contacted some experts, they’ll be online soon, Anna’s luck is over!"
