Esper X Family – Chapter 268 – I Have My Own Pace

To be honest, Ye Yao’s heart was indeed stirred by Tang Lulu.

Who would dare to challenge her authority in the gaming realm?

How could she tolerate this?

It was impossible to endure!

The reason she couldn’t defeat Lou Wei was that he exploited the ‘strongest of the current era’ hardware to physically cheat.

Even Lou Wei had never called her a small fry.

Now, she had to prove herself in front of this insufferably arrogant little brat!

Whether it was by showing off her track record or facing off in a duel.

Ye Yao was unafraid of any gaming challenge!

Until the next class began.

Ye Yao still hadn’t settled down.

Tang Lulu also didn’t continue sleeping in class.

Instead, she whispered softly.

“By the way, Ye Yao, which character do you like the most in SF 6?”

“Old Zang.”

“Huh? No wonder your rank is so low. His performance is far worse compared to other characters and isn’t suitable for climbing ranks.”

“Don’t you dare insult my favorite character!”

Ye Yao voiced her displeasure.

Tang Lulu seemed to have discovered a new continent and revealed a subtle smile.

“Eh~ So Ye Yao is a faith player?

Then I’m really looking forward to you using your favorite character to defeat me.”

“Just wait and see. I’ll show you what world-class skill looks like.”

Ye Yao’s competitive spirit had been thoroughly ignited.

Ever since the establishment of the Found Family, it seemed that there hadn’t been anyone who had dared to challenge her in the gaming realm.

It had always been her challenging others.

Tang Lulu seemed very confident in her own level of skill.

Ye Yao suddenly felt a strong impulse to make her cry in the gaming realm.

To make her admit that she was the real “small fry”.

Thinking about it, it seemed quite exhilarating.

While lost in thought, Ye Yao suddenly snapped back to reality.

Wait a minute.

Something’s off.

She was actually being led astray.

That irritating bad student dared to disturb her studies!

Using despicable tricks like a “common topic”.

It seemed that the Countermeasures Bureau had studied her thoroughly.

“It’s class time. Let’s talk after class.”

Ye Yao wasn’t planning to “fall” so quickly.

Obviously, Tang Lulu wasn’t going to give up.

“Don’t! This kind of class is completely unnecessary. You only need to read a bit from the textbook. We can continue chatting about games in my room after class.”

The little loli’s slightly lazy tone made people itch with anticipation.

“Earlier, I heard you mention you played BF. If a tank rushes at you, what will you do?”

“Run away.”

“Not a banzai charge ¹ The Shitotsubakurai lunge mine is an actual anti-tank weapon historically used by the Imperial Japanese Army, and the Lunge Mine in Battlefield V is based on that. It’s used by attacking in melee range or performing a bayonet charge with it, which is often called a banzai charge (unfortunately, there’s no actual banzai voiceline). ?”

Tang Lulu blinked.

She suddenly realized that Ye Yao’s understanding of games might be a bit lacking.

Could it be that she only knows how to play “wheelchair” characters?

“Hmph~ I have my own pace.”

Ye Yao felt that there was nothing wrong at all.

Back in the days of Iwo Jima ² Battlefield V map. .

Her teammates banzai charges while she ran away.

What did the emperor count for ³ Forgot to mention, but the Imperial Japanese Army’s battlecry in World War II is “Tenno Heika Banzai”, basically translates to “Long live His Majesty the Emperor” ?

Tang Lulu didn’t find this objectionable at all.

What was most needed in gaming wasn’t actually hardware or skills, but friends.

Unfortunately, most people in the headquarters were overachievers.

Very few were willing to squeeze time to game.

Let alone play from day to night or night to day.

Tang Lulu only felt that Ye Yao could be a very delightful source of happiness.

Having encountered such a rare “treasure”, she certainly couldn’t let her become one of those boring people.

“Ye Yao, how about moving in with me? We can apply for a double room and game together from day to night, then from night to day.”

Tang Lulu was just a little girl.

She was naturally unaware of the concept of boundaries.

Even if she was more mature than her peers, she would still strive for what she wanted.

This statement undoubtedly left a massive impact on Ye Yao.

Inviting to live together on the first day?

Even the radicals at the Countermeasures Bureau might think you’re too radical!

And when this statement reached Luo Jianhua and the others, it sounded like a declaration of war.

The eyes of the other girls instantly sharpened.

Luo Jianhua immediately gave the most resolute answer on Ye Yao’s behalf.

“No way. I’ll take care of Sister myself.”

Wu Mi added, “I can also play games with Ye Yao.”

Fang Tang, on the other hand, fell silent.

“How interesting~”

On the podium.

Yu Yayin cast her gaze towards the back.

The little movements of several girls were all too apparent.

How dare they show such disrespect to her as a teacher!

Not bad.

Keep it up!

As long as it doesn’t go too far, she wouldn’t even need to remind them.

Be nice!

Inside the observation room.

The people from the Ye Yao Circle started popping champagne.

“Such remarkable results on the first day, the success of Operation Lullaby is just around the corner!”

“Additionally, with future internet interference operations, the target will soon forget her original goal!”

And so, the class period passed just like that.

Tang Lulu was indeed impressive.

She was practically a connoisseur in the gaming realm.

Games that Ye Yao had played, Tang Lulu had basically played as well.

Every topic she brought up made Ye Yao feel involuntarily immersed.

Wu Mi and the others couldn’t achieve this.

After all, they rarely engaged with games.

Only when Ye Yao sought teammates would they play a few rounds with her.

In this regard, they were utterly defeated.

What had Ye Yao absorbed in this class?

It seemed like she hadn’t absorbed anything at all.

Her mind was filled only with the games recommended by Tang Lulu.

As well as new ways to play games she was already familiar with.

As other new Espers gradually left the classroom.

Tang Lulu also prepared to stand up and leave.

“We’ve exchanged dorm numbers and contact info. I’m going back to catch up on sleep, remember to come find me to play. Bye, everyone.”

Ye Yao watched Tang Lulu’s departing figure and fell into deep thought.

Perhaps it was due to her being too much of a small fry.

But it had to be said, as a gaming companion, Tang Lulu was absolutely great.

She was like an offline version of the ultimate online buddy!

At that moment, Luo Jianhua’s soft voice rang in Ye Yao’s ear.

“Sister, what do you think of Tang Lulu?”

“She’s a very interesting person.”

“Will you try to get closer to her?”

“Not in a hurry, I’ll talk about it after I make her cry in the gaming realm.”

Tang Lulu seemed to really enjoy using “small fry” to describe gaming skills.

Reaⅾ оո KаtRеadіոɡCаfе

Let’s see who the real small fry is!

As soon as those words came out.

Luo Jianhua let out a breath.

She seemed relieved.

Tang Lulu’s gaming skills looked pretty high.

Ye Yao might not be able to win.

Not being able to win meant that Ye Yao wouldn’t get closer to Tang Lulu.

That way, she wouldn’t have to worry about her sister being taken away by some strange girl.

Just as that thought floated into Luo Jianhua’s mind.

A soft, white hand reached out and pinched her face.

“Little Luo, do you not have any faith in me at all?”

“S-Sorry~”

Hearing Luo Jianhua’s plea for mercy, Ye Yao finally let go.

“Let’s go, time for lunch.”

However, she had only taken a few steps when a loud crash came from a distance.

Ye Yao curiously looked over.

“What happened over there?”

Luo Jianhua glanced toward the source of the sound and instantly understood.

“That should be where the instructors teach new Espers how to use their abilities.

Many newcomers who don’t know how to use their abilities yet will first try it out there.”

“Oh?”

Ye Yao suddenly became interested.

She had a bold idea.

“Little Luo, take me over there.”
