Alec and Wang Zhizhen initially thought the same thing; he had expected Wen Xiangjie to actively queue for him to prove herself.
When he opened his live stream, he even deliberately said to the audience in the stream, “Welcome, everyone. Perhaps that freshman from China is also here? I’m about to start queuing for ranked matches. Please pay attention to my start time. I look forward to battling you.”
After saying that, Alec felt very good about himself. He thought he was incredibly cool, and that sentence was full of flair.
However, in the next second, he saw a dense barrage of comments from China.
“Dude, are you delusional? You want our Great Demon King to wait for your queue? Our Great Demon King started queuing two hours ago, okay? She’s in a match right now!”
“LOL, the streamer’s comments perfectly fit my stereotype of a clown.”
“You’re still pretending. You’re the one who wants to snipe our big shot. Why didn’t you even do your homework on our big shot’s daily queue times? Could it be that you’re just all talk and actually don’t dare to queue against our big shot?”
“Who are you to even dare to ask our big shot to queue for you?”
“I’ll give you a Chinese proverb: 'A shameless person is invincible.' With your thick skin, streamer, you’ve reached the realm of super invincibility.”
The current translation system is very well-developed, capable of accurately translating the meaning of comments from Chinese viewers into American English, ensuring Alec understands even the sarcastic remarks perfectly.
Alec’s triumphant expression froze on his face.
He desperately wanted to believe it was just Chinese viewers being stubborn, but not only did Chinese viewers say so, but audiences from other countries, including America, also confirmed that Wen Xiangjie had indeed started queuing two hours ago and was still in a match.
This was Wen Xiangjie’s daily queuing routine, unchanged by Alec’s provocation.
This shouldn't be happening!
Alec didn’t understand.
He considered himself an experienced streamer for many years, well-versed in how to provoke others.
He had also seen the trending topics in China, with so many Chinese netizens commenting, telling Wen Xiangjie to quickly queue against him and teach him a lesson.
Yet, Wen Xiangjie remained unmoved, as if she hadn’t even seen his provocative messages?
Was she truly calm, or was she avoiding the fight?
Regardless of the reason, Wen Xiangjie had indeed put him in an awkward position, making him naturally at a disadvantage when facing her.
“Oh, well, it seems this freshman has a big heart,” Alec shrugged. “In that case, I’ll just have to try hard to queue against her. I hope she has enabled the ‘allow live stream match’ mode.”
There is an option in the battle system’s matchmaking mechanism: whether to allow matching with opponents who are currently live streaming.
If some students do not wish to appear in others’ live streams, they can select “no,” in which case they will not be matched with opponents who are currently live streaming.
Wen Xiangjie naturally did not check this option.
Since someone was so eager to be slapped in the face, she had to give them a chance; she couldn't let them queue for her in vain.
Wen Xiangjie and Alec are both high-ranking players in the Silver tier, and both have very high win rates.
As long as Alec can pinpoint the time Wen Xiangjie is about to matchmake and queue at the same time as her, the probability of matching with Wen Xiangjie is quite high.
Although Alec initially thought Wen Xiangjie would actively queue against him, he did not choose to stake out Wen Xiangjie’s matching rhythm.
However, someone naturally provided him with Wen Xiangjie’s matchmaking information.
So, forty minutes after starting his stream, Alec finally matched with Wen Xiangjie.
“First Military Academy freshman VS Bolo University sophomore.”
Currently, Wen Xiangjie is the only First Military Academy freshman in the Silver tier, so after checking Wen Xiangjie’s profile, Alec’s spirits lifted.
“I matched!”
“First Military Academy freshman: Silver 7, possesses 2 skills, possesses 1 pet, 1v1 battle win rate 100%.”
Many viewers in Alec’s live stream came to watch the commotion. They generally knew that Alec was challenging a very strong freshman from China today, but they didn’t expect Wen Xiangjie’s profile to be so incredible!
“Oh my goodness! Did I see that right? This freshman is already Silver 7?”
“100% win rate? My God, are my eyes okay? Someone actually has a 100% win rate?”
“If our great America hadn’t also participated in developing this battle program, I would definitely think this Chinese student was cheating!”
“Alec is actually challenging someone like this?”
“I originally had a lot of faith in Alec, but this person’s record is simply too dazzling. I need to observe a bit more.”
“Alec, I’m rooting for you! End this Chinese student’s 100% win rate. If you can do it, I’ll send you a Statue of Liberty gift!”
“Alec, crush her!”
Alec’s expression also became much more serious after seeing the data, his heart involuntarily quickened, and his entire body became tense.
Despite constantly adopting a provocative stance towards Wen Xiangjie, only by personally confronting a genius with such an incredible record as Wen Xiangjie could he truly feel the pressure emanating from her.
Wen Xiangjie and Alec’s battleground was a relatively open rainforest.
Most of the rainforest was open beach, with only a small patch of rainforest located in the southeast.
This battle map was quite good for Alec, because Alec’s first and second skills were broad, sweeping heavy sword moves, and the more open the place, the more suitable it was for him to perform.
Within the one-minute preparation time, Alec quickly typed.
“Bolo University sophomore: Sneaking around is ultimately a petty trick. If you want me to lose fair and square, just come directly to the beach and have a righteous battle with me! Otherwise, admit that you only know how to play dirty tricks!”
He could still comfort himself that Wen Xiangjie was too engrossed in battle to see his previous provocations.
This time, with a direct provocation, Alec didn't believe Wen Xiangjie wouldn’t fall for it.
Which master doesn’t have some pride? The more formidable the master, the more confident they are in their strength. To prove themselves, the opponent would definitely fall for the trap and obediently come to the beach to fight him!
Soon, Alec received a reply from Wen Xiangjie.
“First Military Academy freshman: Barking?”
Alec: ???
Report! Report like crazy!
Battle program, do you see this? Someone is using foul language and personal attacks! Mute her quickly!!!
With just two words, Wen Xiangjie easily defeated Alec, who had typed a long string of words attempting to provoke her.
Now, Alec was the one being mocked.
The one-minute countdown ended, and Alec, who was on the beach, couldn't see Wen Xiangjie there.
