Chapter Seven: The Master

  Liu Yifei threw another game coin, and this time he chose the Brazilian team. This made those people from Er Gao Zhong burst out laughing. You see, among the three characters in the Brazilian team, they have the least number of moves, only some throwing skills that can only be used when close to the opponent's character. It really makes them seem too useless, and up till now, they are still the characters that basically no player uses.

  But that's just what people who played King of Fighters for the first time would think, later on many players really liked using these three characters because all three have a similar characteristic, which is that they can chain combos and kill with one hit, leaving you no chance to counterattack.

  Liu Yifei hadn't played arcade games for many years and thought it would be a bit difficult to get back into it, but after playing one round, the familiar feeling came back immediately. So he directly chose these three people, if he could still use combos as smoothly as before, winning them would be easy and effortless. After all, the so-called high-level players from those two high schools were just more skilled at using moves, they didn't even understand the BUGs and combos in King of Fighters '94.

  "Liu Yifei, have you made a mistake? I actually chose this team?" Just as Tong Xinfeng felt a glimmer of hope, Liu Yifei's choice was like a splash of urine that extinguished his hopes.

  "Hmm... try it out and see, haven't you noticed that these three people all have a relatively good figure? If you lose some weight, who knows, you might be just like them."

  "Get out of here, you little brat! We've already lost four games and if we lose two more, it's all over!"

  "We would have lost anyway, what's the difference if we lose a few more games." Liu Yifei chuckled and saw that the kid had chosen Italy again.

  The game started, Liu Yifei's left hand gently shook the controller, her right hand lightly tapped a key, first letting go of the opponent's attack, then gently pushing the controller again, and the first character Larufu directly jumped into the air.

  His opponent's character hadn't even made a move, already preparing to defend himself. Who would have thought that when Liu Yifei's character jumped in front of him, he didn't throw a punch or kick, but instead directly fell down? But just at this moment, Liu Yifei's left hand quickly shook once, and his right hand pointed, the character in the game had already grabbed the opponent and slammed them to the ground. Before the opponent could even get up, he jumped into the air again, and after landing, he grabbed the opponent and slammed them to the ground once more. This happened one after another, and astonishingly, the opponent didn't even have a chance to counterattack, directly causing Liu Yifei's character to be defeated.

  "As the loud voice echoed from the machine, the arcade in front of it suddenly fell silent. Anyone who has played this game would have seen a perfect win before, but never one that was so clean and left the opponent with no room for complaint."

  Not only did no one from our school's side expect it, but the three people from the other school were also completely stunned, having no idea that this game could be played like this.

  "Wow..." Tong Xinfeng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes shining with admiration, and said: "You... you little guy are really a master!"

  "Generally speaking, the world is third!" Liu Yifei smiled and gave others a shocking feeling, which was quite refreshing. It seemed that no one had looked at her with such eyes in her previous life, and she had always been the one looking at others with such eyes.

  The second game has already started, and the opponent is ready, but it's unclear how Liu Yifei did it. In a few rounds, he rushed to the front again, and then launched a series of consecutive attacks. No matter how hard the opponent shook the joystick or pressed the keys, they couldn't dodge Liu Yifei's attacks.

  Liu Yifei was just like that, lightly shaking the rod, pressing the key neither hastily nor slowly, but every time he grasped and threw his opponent down at exactly the right moment.

  In the third game, it was still the same move, but the opponent had already lost all resistance. This kind of play made people feel very suffocated, and his fighting spirit was completely destroyed.

  "We won! We won!" Jia Bo and Tong Xinfeng both shouted excitedly, Liu Yifei finally let out the bad breath they had been holding in their hearts.

  "Are you coming again?" Liu Yifei smiled and looked at Yang Dayong, that fatty.

  Yang Dàyǒng opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound. He had clearly seen Liu Yīfēi's move just now and felt that no matter which character he chose, it seemed impossible to break through Liu Yīfēi's combo attack.

  Jia Bo also felt a surge of confidence at this time, and coldly snorted, saying: "Exactly! Go back to your Second High School and show off your might there. Remember, this is Fourth High School, not a place for you to run wild."

  The three of them were extremely ugly at this time, but they knew that continuing to compare would not give them any chance of winning, so they hastily and sullenly ran out, without even leaving a word.

  A group of four high school students were all in high spirits, playing games today and unexpectedly creating a competition, which was also very rare at that time, unlike later when e-sports had become a large-scale team sport.

  Liu Yifei was also being watched by the crowd like a hero, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud, but after all, he had lived for over 30 years, so he could still calm down, smiled and said: "Alright, I've vented my anger, let's go."

  Liu Yifei's words were obviously measured at this time, Tong Xinfeng and Jia Bo both followed him out, and Jia Bo even spoke bluntly: "Liu Yifei, you really make me admire you, this time you didn't let me lose face, I owe you a favor, if there's anything in the future, just look for me, although I don't dare say it's good to use elsewhere, but in Fourth High, as long as you mention me, I'll see who dares to provoke you."

  Liu Yifei smiled and said: "Heh, you're too polite. We're all classmates from Fourth High School, we can't let others look down on us."

  Jia Bo patted Liu Yifei's shoulder with force and said, "Well said! I've made friends with you, I have something to do first, let's get together another day when we're free."

  Liu Yifei's heart skipped a beat, this Jia Bo was able to fight several times in high school without being expelled, it was clear that his family had considerable power, and he must make a big impact this time after rebirth. If there was no help, relying solely on his own experience of over a decade would be difficult, but Jia Bo was a good helper, and if he could utilize him and his family's connections, it would definitely be of great assistance to himself.

  With years of experience, he already knew how important relationships are to a person's success. Making friends also requires some selection. Friends like Tong Xinfeng will not give up on him even if they don't help him, but friends like Jia Bo are naturally ones he must make.

  In that high school era without rebirth, he also wanted to be friends with Jia Bo, but at that time it was more because of Jia Bo's strength, and following behind Jia Bo was a very prestigious thing. Now that kind of vanity has long since disappeared, and making friends with a calm gaze is greatly different.
