Chapter 9

When the system declared Alex the winner, the entire hall fell into stunned silence.

They couldn't believe their ears or eyes.

"How can a loser who barely knows the game win?" someone blurted out.

Shock rippled through the room. Everyone had expected Alex to lose.

After all, Chris was the highest-ranked player in Vancouver

How could a newbie win him? Impossible!

"There must be a mistake, right?" another person muttered.

As Alex exited the room, with Michelle following him, people noticed something unusual-his gaming suit.

It's the latest, most expensive gaming suit, equipped with Al assistance.

A newbie could become a master by activating the Al. Originally designed for military use in war, it's now a game-changer in the virtual world.

Seeing that super expensive gaming suit for the first time, their surprise quickly turned to anger.

"You cheated! That suit must've boosted your fighting skills," someone shouted. "Yeah, no way a newbie could win without cheating," another voice chimed in. "He's just a newbie. Miss Michelle must have rigged the suit for him."

Accusations flew at Alex.

Michelle felt she had to clear the accusation and stepped up "Listen, although his suit has Al assistance's function, Sir Alex here won with just his skill."

The whole hall fell silent, then exploded in laughter.

"Hahaha..."

"Michelle must be joking!"

"If you don't believe me," Michelle added, "I can replay everything for you to see."
