With her phone still placed beside her ear, Shi Yao fell into a daze.
… Sun Haiyang, Hao Yu, Luo Junhao, Wang Angshou, Gao Lang…
the announcer continued reciting the various participants in the next race.
And just like before, Shi Yao could hear the very same names coming from the speakers of her phone as well.
As more and more names were being recited, Shi Yao unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone.
Why was she hearing the same thing on his side as well?
… Will those students whose names were called please proceed to the race track…
When those words overlapped each other, first in reality followed by her phone speaker, Shi Yao’s fingers began to tremble slightly.
Surely it can’t be so coincidental? [111111] is from the same university as me? And he’s in even in the stadium, just like me?
As this thought flashed across Shi Yao’s mind, she instinctively raised her head to scan her surroundings.
Amidst this huge crowd, one of them was [111111]… This also meant that one of them was [Expert of the Monkeys] and one of them was [Juice] too…
All of this felt completely inconceivable to Shi Yao, and at this moment, the entire world felt like a fantasy to her.
Just how much of a coincidence would it be for my first teammates in the game to actually be my schoolmates too?
The voice of the announcer continued to echo from the podium,
I repeat. The participants for the Men’s 100m Sprint are Lin Jiage, Zhang Yang… Sun Haiyang, Hao Yu, Luo Junhao, Wang Junshou, Gao Lang…
Hearing that voice once more, Shi Yao lowered her head to look at her phone screen.
The small audio sign before [111111]’s name was also flickering.
Most likely, it wasn’t [111111] who was speaking to her but the voices around the stadium that triggered the voice chat…
Shi Yao still couldn’t fully come to terms with this new revelation, and she stared at the phone for a moment before bringing it close to her mouth,
You…
Shi Yao fell silent after speaking that single word. She wasn’t sure what she should say in this situation.
Around five seconds later, [111111]’s voice sounded from her phone,
What’s—
His voice was mixed with the current announcement spoken by the announcer at the podium.
Perhaps just like her, Mister Numbers had also listened to her voice chat and heard the noise in her surroundings. After uttering two words, his voice drifted off as well.
However, he seemed to recover much faster than her. Just a moment later, he spoke up once more with apparent surprise and amazement in his voice,
You’re… from G University?
Mm…
In her dazed state, Shi Yao reply was short. A moment later, with a dreamy tone resembling someone who just woke up from their sleep, she asked as well,
You’re… also from G University?
[111111]:
Mm, Year 3.
[Yao Loves Ice Cream]:
What a coincidence.
[111111]:
It sure is.
Shi Yao wasn’t too sure what else to say anymore, and both she and Mister Numbers fell silent.
The voice of the announcer continued to resonate from both of their speakers.
A long time later, [111111] spoke up once more,
What about you?
For a moment, Shi Yao wasn’t too sure what [111111] was asking, so she replied with a confused
Hm?
. It took a while before she replied,
… I’m in Year 1, English Faculty. You?
Math Faculty,
[111111] replied concisely. After saying those words, he added,
I’ve got an event coming up. Talk to you later.
Then, as if in a rush, Mister Numbers backed out of the game before Shi Yao could say a thing.
