The Whole World Thinks I’m a Woman Disguised as a Man [E-Sports] - Chapter 63.1

Xie Zhinian felt that Xue Lan’s initial interview, amid everyone’s debut interviews, resembled a level of difficulty bordering on infernal.

In his observation, Xue Lan approached the interview with a specific reservation. He had limited interactions with others, and in this particular moment, uncertainty clouded his understanding of how to navigate the demands of the media.

In truth, Xue Lan remained cautious for an extended period, but the MC’s question sparked a sudden epiphany within him!

He could answer this!

But as he contemplated the answer, Xue Lan felt that it was wrong.

He couldn’t say… “My CP will become public soon! I wish my CP will get married,” right?!

But he thought that expressing his wish that, as a teammate, Wen Yan found out his ideal type shouldn’t be a problem, right?

He made his decision with this thought.

Just as he teetered on the brink of utterance, Zhou Kanqing abruptly interjected as though wary of the words poised to escape his lips. “Captain’s ideal type…”

Duan Wenzheng seamlessly intercepted once more, responding with effortless fluency:

“I’m afraid Captain is destined to be alone for the remainder of his years.”

“…” Xue Lan’s pupils quivered. Sublime. Once Duan Wenzhen became ruthless, he even cursed himself and Wen Yan together.

While the media shared a collective laugh, everyone could perceive the palpable unease etched across the countenances of those selected individuals.

Amidst the public’s narrative of the struggle, the prevailing sentiment inclined toward Xue Lan, casting him as the assaulter who joined the club, aligning with Wen Yan’s description.

And because of this, “Exist’s response” would seal the fate of the answer to this hot topic.

Regardless of Xue Lan’s response, they were adept at interpreting it according to their own understanding.

Yet, the teammate at his side once more interjected, disrupting their expectations of this hot topic.

“Let’s pick up the speed,” Xie Zhinian reminded at the side with a faint smile.

The MC now wore a countenance of despair.

“At present, in the national server, due to Wind’s words, there’s been a surge in female assaulters. Regarding this, does Exist have anything to say to them?”

This time, preceding his response, Xue Lan involuntarily cast a glance at Duan Wenzheng.

Duan Wenzheng subtly winked, and then Xue Lan redirected his focus to the camera. With eyes filled with anticipation and brightness, he conveyed, “If fate allows, I eagerly anticipate crossing paths with you all on the battlefield. Fight on!”

“…”

Xue Lan noticed the host’s face, which seemed to be deprived of air. Perplexed, he shifted his gaze to Zhou Kanqing and Duan Wenzheng at his side, both barely containing their laughter. He whispered, “Did I say something wrong?”

“No, no.” Zhou Kanqing waved his hand, yet he appeared to harbor internal injuries from suppressing his laughter.

Zhou Kanqing pondered. Perhaps the media now perceived Xue Lan as a fierce character, capable of controlling his emotions and encouraging his rivals in love with enthusiasm. Initially, Xue Lan’s possessiveness toward Wen Yan wasn’t unfamiliar in front of the camera. Even now, Zhou Kanqing feared that Xue Lan might proclaim on the mic, “Wen Yan is mine. They shouldn’t even think about it.”

And then, he would be beaten black and blue by all the fans who turned against him.

In the end…

Zhou Kanqing, at last, nestled his heart back into his stomach.

Just as the despondent MC contemplated the next move, Duan Wenzheng once more parted his lips, “All of you need to achieve something. If there are any further questions, feel free to ask me.”

“About…” The MC felt a sudden cascade of cold sweat down her back. Swiftly wiping it away, she continued, “About yesterday’s match, a female player faced severe cyberbullying and a barrage of insults in the aftermath of the video release, labeled as a ‘noob’ by many. W-What are your thoughts on this?”

“There has been no rule for the ‘ban of females,’ so —”

Duan Wenzheng gazed into the camera, delivering a smooth response, “Should there be disagreements on this matter, let’s settle it face-to-face on the battlefield.”

……

It wasn’t until the media, appearing as if they had weathered a grand battle, departed in exhaustion that Zhou Kanqing finally let loose the laughter he had vehemently held back.

“Duan Wenzheng, Duan Wenzheng.” Zhou Kanqing guffawed. “You truly are a nightmare for interviews.”

“What do you mean?” Duan Wenzheng strolled to his seat, settled in, and without casting a backward glance, said, “Didn’t I eventually leave them with a scoop?”

“True, that was indeed your last bit of humanity.”

“All right.” Wen Yan curbed the banter between the two people. He asserted, “Prepare for practice.”

Everyone promptly returned to their seats, preparing for a full day of training.

Approaching the commencement of the competition, their teamwork exhibited noteworthy improvement, prompting Wen Yan to organize a practice match with Glory Team scheduled for tonight at eight.

By seven thirty, the group had assembled, eagerly anticipating the match with Glory Team. However, when the clock struck eight, Wen Yan found himself unable to establish contact with Glory Team, despite the scheduled time.

“What’s happening?” Zhou Kanqing said in confusion. “Fang Yikun and the others have always been on time, but how is it that we haven’t seen a shadow of them as of right now?”

“I’ve asked Nian-ge to reach them.” Wen Yan glanced at the dialog box on his phone.

He muttered, “Let’s wait a little longer.”

LGW and Glory Team were regarded as the two teams that frequently engaged in practice games together. Both teams were known for their punctuality, with no precedent of anyone being unreachable.

Wen Yan exited the training room to persist in reaching Glory Team’s Fang Yikun. Meanwhile, others dispersed to engage in solo games while anticipating the rival team’s arrival. Boredom led Zhou Kanqing to indulge in his phone, and as a WeChat notification arrived, he promptly entered the chatroom upon recognizing the sender.

Upon reading the message, Zhou Kanqing felt so frustrated that he flung his phone onto the computer table.
