Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 154

The room suddenly became silent.

Zelena and Hattie were both thinking it over for a while.

The thought of debuting as an esports goddess, who was adored by thousands of fans, sounded pretty awesome.

I'd attract female fans, as well as a large number of male fans.

However, Zelena's skills were awful. If she registered in the tournament, she definitely couldn't win at her current level, unless she played support to boost her ranking. Even then, she would need strong teammates to carry her.

If her teammates were not good enough, she wouldn't stand a chance.

This meant she must find some top-notch teammates.

Hattie's skills were okay, but far from elite level.

Meanwhile, that guy from earlier, "I'm Your Sixth Uncle", had amazing awareness. Even though his rank wasn't high yet, with that level of game sense, it was only a matter of time before he climbed the ranks. Plus, he used to be on the national leaderboard! and he was in the same server region as them. It would be perfect if they could recruit him!

Hattie coughed lightly, "Ahem, what was his name again?"

Zelena had the same thought. Getting a free national leaderboard player would be so much better than recruiting average school players. They would be way ahead right from the start.

Casey hesitated. "Hattie, you want to team up with that guy from earlier? But we just insulted him. He's not going to help us."

Zelena pondered for a while, then said arrogantly, "So what if he's skilled? He doesn't have many skins, which means he's broke. We're wealthy! If it weren't for the game, he'd never have the chance to meet us. Teaming up with us would be a huge win for him. Besides, he's a guy. If we send him a photo, he'll change his mind."

Casey didn't say anything.

Hattie agreed with Zelena's statements and spoke contemptuously, "You're right, Lena. If he didn't play games, he'd never know us. Let's try reaching out to him again. If we need to, we can offer him some money."

...

Violeta left the esports room to get some water.

She ran into Hayden and his friends, who had just finished playing pool.

Hayden inquired, "Were you just playing a game in there?"

Violeta nodded. "Yeah, I was playing 'MLSS'. Do you guys play too? Do you want to join me? I can carry you to win."

"Hahahahahaha!"

Zoren burst out laughing at her bold statement. "Vio, you're killing me with this bravado. I can't handle it."

Violeta shot him a sharp look. "Mind your own business."

Liam chimed in, "Some girls are good at games, but I haven't met one yet."

Jasper, leaning against the pool table, added calmly, "Same here. I've never seen one that could carry me to win."

Violeta drank the water and said, "Well, it's because you haven't met me until now. Get ready to be amazed!"
