Chapter 587 Jamie is Fierce
“If I’m correct, that’s the first top national player. How did you know this guy?” Elliot was impressed.
“Is that something to feel impressed about? I have no idea.” She played dumb. He’s just a normal guy too. Just a better player, that’s all.”
“Just a better player?” Elliot arched his eyebrow. That gap between me and that ‘just a better player’ is almost insurmountable. It would take forever to close it. Talent is not something that can be overcome with just hard work.
“Alright, shut up. They’re online. Get ready.” Sheldon got into the groove instantly.
They were quite close in terms of skills. Elliot and Sheldon were careful, but they were ambushed and eliminated. However, Elise was skillful enough to run around and take out two of their main players. When she was about to kill the last player who was on their last few points of HP, a grenade rolled over and bombed her, eliminating her from the game. The opposing team won, and silence fell upon them. A while later, Elise remarked coldly. “Something’s off. There’s no way the grenade could have traversed that distance. They cheated!”
“Whoa, it’s true!” Elliot’s eyes shone. “We can report him, right?”
“It’s useless,” Sheldon refuted. “The result for the report will only come out tomorrow, and it might not work. Nicolas has paid a lot of money for the microtransactions. The devs won’t care.”
“Not exactly true.” Elise was angry. She took her phone out and called a number. “Arthur, I need you to look into a match in Dead Battleground. It’s a user called Nicolas_Zeezee. He was in a match that happened at eight twenty-eight. He probably used a cheat.” Games were supposed to be a way to relax. Using cheats would only take away the other players’ fun.
“Right away.”
Elise hung up a while later and looked at the monitor. “Give them a minute. It should be done in moments.”
Since she looked serious, the boys didn’t dare to say anything and went back to their seats. Elise was weird, at least to them. She looked gentle, but when she got serious, she had a really terrifying aura.
Five minutes later, all three of them received an email. ‘Dear player, we have looked into your match that took place at xx hours xx minutes. The user Nicolas_Zeezee is confirmed to have used a cheat in the match, and the user is permanently banned. As thanks and compensation, you are rewarded with a Legendary skin. Thank you for your support of the game.’
“Oh my god!” Elliot stammered, “L-L-Legendary? Nobody has gotten that before! And now they gave it to us?”
Sheldon was surprised, but he looked at Elise carefully first. “Who did you call just now? Did another hacker hack into the game servers?”
“No way. The servers’ firewalls can’t be breached that easily.” Elise was confident in her program. “I just know the developer, so I asked him to help me out.”
Elliot guffawed. “Are you going to tell us you know someone in the government next?”
Does Simon Bull count? Elise squinted and smiled at him. “No. That would be too fake,” she lied.
“Yeah. No way there are so many coincidences.” Elliot heaved a sigh and stood up. “Let’s go.” He stretched his arms. “Supper’s on me.”
Then, someone roared from the entrance, “Sheldon, get your keister out here right now!”
Elise thought it was Sheldon’s enemy, but when she saw the look on his face, she knew that wasn’t the case. She looked in the direction of the roar and saw Jamie. “Jamie?” Is he that fierce around his brother?
