Chapter 191
The man’s arrival immediately caused a commotion in the arcade.
Josh raised his eyebrows. “He looks like a professional.”
Yale was about to take out his small notebook in response.
At this moment, a Crucsian heard Josh’s words and immediately started talking.
“Hey, it’s only natural. Pretty boy, you’re probably here on vacation, aren’t you? This is King. He rules this arcade. Of course, we gave him that title. Once he starts playing a game, he gets into it right away. He gets good at it, too. There’s nothing he ***at. Once, a professional gamer from a Mendonian club came here. He pretended to be weak, trying to ***the opponent into lowering their guard. But in the end, King met him and wiped him out. He didn’t win even after spending a hundred coins. In the end, he ran away looking all ***. Shortly after, we heard the news that the professional gamer had announced his retirement. King beat him up so badly that he became depressed”
Josh was wearing a scarf, mask, and hat. He was also clad in a thick down jacket.
Naturally, no one could recognize his identity
Meridonian winters were unforgiving. With this outfit, he would not attract attention even when walking on the streets. Yale thought for a moment. He crossed out some words in his small notebook and replaced them with another sentence
[This person is from Crucsia, and he’s very young. He’s not much older than Jane. He should be around 23 years old] ‘I agree.
Josh and Yale were both Humphrey’s apprentices.
They were excellent judges of character.
Even though King was wearing a mask and a hat, covering himself well, they could still tell.
Jane was standing two arcade games away from King.
She could not see his face at all.
After she played one round with King, she raised her eyebrows.
This guy… was quite something.
Putting aside the fact that his combo attacks were extremely smooth, his reaction speed was also phenomenal. After dealing some damage, he immediately followed up with more attacks, causing even more damage to the opponent. He was as precise as a machine.
Jane lost the first match.
“That pretty girl could fight King to that extent. That’s already quite good.”
“Yeah, half of King’s HP is gone.”
“That’s King for you. He’s the king of the arcade, after all. Recently, I’ve noticed that many gaming forums have started posting about him.”
Everyone was talking excitedly
Jane was not disheartened. She slotted another coin into the machine.
The second round…
She lost
The third round…

The fourth round….
Until the seventh round.
“Wow. The pretty girl’s still not giving up?”
“Do you guys feel her combo is getting smoother after each round? Besides, King’s HP always ends up being very low. It seems like he only won by a narrow margin.”
Even King himself realized it.
His opponent… was improving rapidly!
At first, King concluded that Jane had never played this game.
Being able to master it so quickly must mean that she was naturally talented.
After all, Jane did not even know any of the combos that many veterans knew.
However, after seeing King use it once, Jane would instantly remember it and replicate it perfectly
Jane treated every combo move King used and every single detail of the battle as her “weapon’ against him.
Jane was not holding back her punches.
No one could hold back and still fight King as she did. It was an intense battle
Besides, she had just started playing this game.
There were still many things Jane did not know.
Now, she had King as her learning model.
The speed at which Jane was improving was “terrifying. That was the only way to describe it.
And finally…
When the word “Victory’ jumped on the machine screen, King was no longer the winner.
Instead, it was Jane.
The entire arcade fell into dead silence immediately.
No one had expected King to lose.
But the truth was right before their eyes.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Josh whistled.
Jane, that’s amazing!
Josh praised her in his heart.
Yale also looked pleased.
To them, Jane’s victory was only a matter of time.
Although they knew she would win, they felt a little sorry for the eSports legend, King
Those adopted by Humphrey as apprentices were freaks with extraordinary learning abilities. No matter what, they were not in the same league.
It was not just in terms of games, either.
Even in other aspects, their learning speed could even surpass those so-called “geniuses”.
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across King’s face, which was hidden under his mask.
Immediately, he inserted a coin into the machine.
However, Jane, who had already mastered the game, could guarantee another win against King.
In the beginning, she had won a narrow victory.
But afterward…
King could no longer cut Jane’s HP down to half.
After inserting twenty coins, King finally realized his crushing defeat.
Suddenly, he stood up and walked toward Jane.
His eyes stared at Jane with a burning intensity
“I want to challenge you to play something else.”
“I’m sorry. I came here to play with my friends. I don’t want to keep them waiting. You’re quite skilled. Why don’t you leave your contact information? If an opportunity arises, we can play a match online.”
Jane rubbed her chin.
She admired this young man’s ability.
If he were not an eSports player, Jane might be able to rope him in
He would definitely be able to help Lila in the future
