CQ Team had come a long way, and it hadn’t been easy.
Although their team had been established two months ago, from the time Zombie Leader had led the team to fight in their first match, they had been up against one mishap after another.
Purple Fairy’s meddling, a team member’s family troubles, The Godfather and The Deputy Godfather getting injured…
All of these drove them to strongly feel like this was a competition they had to win.
They also felt that they would win for sure.


It was as though under the lead of such a central figure like Xiao Qiao, success was something inevitable.
To the extent that as they played this match, even when Qiao Lian had started to make errors, even when she was killed by the opponents, it all felt normal.
But when they saw her hand, when they discovered her eyes were becoming bloodshot…
It was only then that they realized in a flash… that success was a lot further away than what they had thought.
Su Penghao’s voice choked for a bit, causing the eyes of The Godfather and The Deputy Godfather, who hadn’t even made a noise when their hands were scalded, to uncontrollably turn red.
They were not mourning the fact that they could not win this game. They were feeling sad for Qiao Lian.
Once Xiao Qiao—that Xiao Qiao who had rocked the gaming world.
The Xiao Qiao who had lived in their memories as a legend in the gaming world.
That exemplary model of the gaming world… Her hand was injured and she could never play again.
It was as though a fighting master was being stripped of his exceptional martial arts.


That sharp pain in their hearts… They could not help but lament.
The sorrow they felt for Xiao Qiao was hard to bear.
They looked at her again.
They saw that her hand could no longer hold down the mouse.
She willed with all her might for her hand to grab it, but it would not stop shaking and would not carry out that one simple instruction.
At this point, Qiao Lian said,
Resurrected.

They looked at their screens.
Qiao Lian shouted,
Continue the battle!

She gulped.
This round depends on you guys.

The live audience was now silent.


And in the room, only Qiao Lian’s directions could be heard.

Zombie Leader, you fight the front line.


The Godfather, you fight the enemy’s back lines!


The Deputy Godfather, defend our back lines.


Peerless, look after the formation.


Now I’ll initiate the attack. You guys follow!


I’ll take the blows and you fight!


Don’t try to rescue me! It’s okay if I get killed. I’ll trick them into using their ultimate attack. This round I’m not critical, I’m just a bait! The most important thing is that you guys stay alive!


Attack!


…



As the instructions came, the team members tried to follow and coordinate, maneuvering together.
The situation of the battle was deeply worrying.
CQ Team was clearly disadvantaged.
With one critical player down and all of them being professional gamers, it made a big difference.
But the CQ team members had an impatient look on their faces.
They all knew that it was no longer important whether they won or lost the match. The most important thing was that they had given their best.
Even if they went down, they would do it with their heads held high.
In the past, losing a game was just that, losing.
But now, they finally realized the meaning of those words.
They were not sad, they were proud of themselves.


CQ Team’s protection tower was destroyed and King Team wanted to take this opportunity to win the last match.
But at this point, CQ Team demonstrated their perseverance and patience.
King Team had made three separate attacks to CQ Team’s central tower, but they had not been successful.
Generally, a game would last for around 20 minutes.
But this match had kept going for 40 minutes already!
The commentator was at the brink of losing his voice because of the shouting
