Esper X Family – Chapter 496 – She Is Right Beside Me

Now that the members of Sequence Zero had been doxxed by Sen Tong.

Ye Yao decided that there was no point in hiding things from everyone else anymore.

“To be honest, putting my friend aside, Mu Luo, Gu Wenxin, and Jiang Huashen are in a tier of their own in terms of personal strength.”

Ye Yao gave her assessment openly and honestly, without the slightest care for offending anyone or being flamed.

Soon, viewers started expressing confusion.

“Huh? Couldn’t Brother Jiang just summon《Tong Yao》and insta-win the fight?”

“Yeah, that’s right. When we discuss things, we always set aside cheating King Jiang.”

“Haha, the《Tong Yao》cheat is way too fierce. I can’t think of any human who could beat that.”

Jiang Huashen didn’t seem to have exceptional mental power, but his performance back then was definitely the most dramatic.

After all, to some extent, his combat strength was almost directly tied to the painting《Tong Yao》.

Even the Memory Spirit was effortlessly sent flying.

That goes to show just how outrageous Jiang Huashen could be when he cheated.

“Still stuck in the past? Old Jiang’s activation conditions are too conditional! Without the right timing, location, and people, there’s no way to recreate that scene.”

In Ye Yao’s view, the exclusive form skill Creation Form probably had the harshest activation requirements.

Jiang Huashen couldn’t maintain peak creative passion and intense inspiration at all times.

If he couldn’t activate Creation Form, he could only play support.

Overall, his strength was still inferior to Old Gu, who frantically stacked kills, and the mysterious glutton Old Mu.

The bloodthirsty audience was shocked.

“What? Our highly anticipated King Jiang is actually trash-tier? What about《Tong Yao》? 《Tong Yao》, come save him!”

Ye Yao curled her lip.

“《Tong Yao》was claimed by my friend. Old Jiang couldn’t hold onto it; it was just a product of a flash of inspiration.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huashen’s supporters were devastated.

“King Jiang has been severely nerfed! Without the invincible《Tong Yao》, how can our King Jiang possibly beat the other shady cheaters?”

As for Mu Luo and Gu Wenxin’s achievements, the audience had little doubt.

Especially Gu Wenxin. His final kill count even surpassed Fang Ze’s, making him the most eye-catching presence.

Although Mu Luo was somewhat invisible, his later re-entry into the battlefield and coordination with Gu Wenxin’s efficient harvesting had proven his strength.

After all, the other members of Sequence Zero no longer had the energy to rejoin the fight!

“Streamer, what about our athlete?”

Ye Yao glanced over.

“Old Yu? Old Yu is pure brute force. Even though he has some good trump cards, without our adorable Wu Mi supporting him, he probably couldn’t have beaten the enemies back then.”

Then, Ye Yao gave the netizens a review of the situation at that time.

The audience gasped.

“Damn, a real Mahoraga.”

“He should activate his form skill before entering the stage to stack his passive.

He doesn’t need to actually get hit anyway. Just constantly absorbing mental power from the air would raise his stats.

Once he reaches a certain level, he can enter the stage and send the Titan flying.”

“Genius! I say there should be no limits. Pre-battle meta Tier 0 well-fed athlete, does anyone understand?”

“I think Wu Mi is the real cheat. Is an ability like that something a human can come up with?”

“That’s how Bluestar Online is. If you don’t like it, don’t play.”

“Us athletes got screwed by mechanics too. Not having enough brute force to split heaven and earth is still too weak.”

“What kind of brute force is that?”

Then, the big topic arrived.

“Streamer, Streamer, what about our Sequence Zero’s Miss Xia Lian? Her performance wasn’t bad, right? She seems almost on par with Mu Luo and Gu Wenxin.”

When Xia Lian came up, Ye Yao started hesitating.

She should’ve exposed Xia Lian’s true nature as a complete weakling, but Xia Lian was still one of the faces of Sequence Zero.

If Xia Lian embarrassed herself, it would embarrass Ye Yao too.

“Xia Lian is barely passable, just so-so. Slightly worse than Mu Luo and Gu Wenxin. She needs more time to grow.”

Ye Yao felt like she was being way too gentle.

She was probably the gentlest person in the world! Put her in a Japanese toilet paper ¹ Slang for mass produced slop Light novels like isekai, male mc + harem, etc. They’re called that because they’re often used for toilet reading to pass time, and because people buy these light novels for the illustrations while the rest of the paper are useless. , and she would still be top-tier!

Given how weak Xia Lian was, the fact that Ye Yao didn’t just openly trash-talk her was a show of her tolerance.

“What? Great Emperor Xia Lian’s performance only counts as barely adequate? I thought it was absolutely god-tier!”

Clearly the netizens were sharp, quickly sensing something off from Ye Yao’s tone.

“Could it be that Miss Xia Lian is a fraud? That performance wasn’t her real strength?”

Ye Yao caught the fleeting guess in the bullet comments and silently gasped.

I didn’t say that!

All she could do was clear her throat lightly.

“Ahem, anyway, don’t over-deify these people.

The ones you think are incredibly strong aren’t actually that strong.

For example… for example, the Tong Yao you talk about! She’s not a god, just an ordinary Esper with some decent stats.”

Hearing this, the audience lost it.

“Holy crap, ‘ordinary Esper’.”

“Streamer, are you trying to make all your viewers commit suicide?”

“I get it. The streamer is saying this to defend Xia Lian. Could it be that our Great Emperor Xia Lian is actually a weakling?”

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Xia Lian’s character model is top-tier, so her strength must be top-tier too! Xia Lian is not a weakling!”

Ye Yao blinked and suddenly realized there were quite a few Xia Lian modeling fans!

Damn, there were just too many old perverts.

She was just a pathetic Xia Lian. When she clung to Ye Yao every day, Ye Yao only found her annoying.

She thought it over and decided not to rank her family into different classes. If she was weak, then so be it.

It’s fine as long as everyone has a rough idea.

In the end, she couldn’t bring herself to be too harsh.

Then, Ye Yao changed the subject to other things, like the situation on the Countermeasures Bureau’s side at the time.

The Countermeasures Bureau’s strong fighters had many supporters, especially Lou Wei and Fu Qi. The scene of them standing together against the interstellar overlord had shown true bravery and resolve.

Before Ye Ge appeared, they were undoubtedly the absolute protagonists.

Even in the chaotic online space, few dared to slander them.

Except for a certain streamer, of course.

“Hmph, just two firecrackers. They almost tried to sacrifice themselves to take down that interstellar stray dog. No wonder Ye Ge beat them up.”

Reаԁ οո KαtRеаԁiոɡCаfe

The audience could hear the streamer’s full resentment in her words.

But no one dared to comment, let alone agree.

The streamer dared to say it, but they didn’t dare to listen!

Those were the director and trump card of the Countermeasures Bureau. Only Yao Catty was qualified to judge them.

So, they simply skipped ahead to the topic of “Ye Ge.”

“Streamer, do you know where Great Emperor Ye Ge went?”

Many were curious about Ye Ge’s whereabouts.

She was the unmatched powerhouse who had ultimately defeated the interstellar overlord.

Even though the information revealed by the All-Knowing Demon Eye was a bit off, she hadn’t caused any destruction. She had only beaten up Lou Wei.

That certainly eased many people’s concerns.

To this question, Ye Yao merely smiled lightly.

“What if I told you she’s right beside me? Would you believe me?”
