Chapter 431: I’m Not Afraid!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zaro felt like he was on top of the world.

He had just won a an Esports war game competition!

The moment he lifted the championship trophy, Zaro smiled flamboyantly.

I actually won?!

Why am I so awesome?

Did I save the entire Milky Way in my past life?

Those were the three questions he asked himself.

Thus, when Zaro held up the champion trophy, he wanted everyone to bow down to him. And, the game ID he had used to participate in the competition was [Samoyed]. He couldn’t wait to let the world know about [Samoyed], who had just won a championship. He firmly believed that he had an affinity with the name [Samoyed] and that it was an extremely lucky ID. It was just a pity that his current fame was too high and he couldn’t change his stage name.

However, he was in high spirits from winning the competition. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would show off to others. It just so happened that Chu Bo was holding a concert in Huangzhou, so Zaro came to support his friend. He brought along some of his fellow Esports teammates to have fun in Huangzhou and watch Chu Bo’s concert. He also organized a private gathering with some of his old friends in Huangzhou.

Those from Leizhou who had accompanied Zaro for the competition were all professional Esports athletes. They were considered gaming gods in the Leizhou region and played the game “Battle of the Century” under different clubs. They only switched games to have fun and never expected to meet Zaro. After they met, they accompanied Zaro to participate in this competition and won it with a little luck.

Fang Zhao had also received an invitation. Zaro’s Huangzhou residence wasn’t too far and Fang Zhao didn’t have anything planned tonight, so he also decided to go.

When Fang Zhao arrived, there were already over ten people there. Some of them were new faces to Fang Zhao.

Inside the apartment, Danke Assis was bragging to others.

As the son of the Inter-planetary Fund director general. Danke Assis didn’t just lead a flamboyant and extravagant lifestyle. He spent no less time online than Zaro. Netizens jokingly called him the “Inter-planetary Crown Prince.”

The bogus Crown Prince Danke also felt quite pleased lately. The bear kid that his father had thrown to him had gone somewhere unknown. Without him, Danke’s days were rather peaceful. He had been so carefree lately that when he heard Zaro was organizing a private gathering, he didn’t hesitate to come. He even brought a few bottles of expensive wine that he had collected.

Danke knew how to have fun and had no problem getting friendly with others. Those who were invited to Zaro’s private gathering were worth knowing.

Danke quickly became high after all the wine and flattery.

“I have the most experience chaperoning that bear kid. I’m not exaggerating, mind you. Rather than the bear kid, if you really give me a bear...”

There was a rather simple and honest person amongst those present. That person blurted out, “It is illegal to own bears in private.”

“... just give me three wild kids!” ¹ Danke frowned from the interruption. He was about to say something when he saw Fang Zhao entering. His tongue became stuck.

Those bunch of trash reporters!

Danke cursed the Huangzhou entertainment reporters silently. Didn’t they say they would report Fang Zhao’s whereabouts at all times? Why hadn’t he received any news?

Although Danke was no longer chaperoning the bear kid lately, he still wasn’t too willing to see Fang Zhao.

The attitude of the Inter-planetary Fund top brass towards Fang Zhao was rather strange. They were very cautious whenever Fang Zhao was mentioned. Danke didn’t want to see Fang Zhao either.

Nevertheless, Danke switched on his professional mode. He put on an appropriately pompous smile for the occasion.

Fang Zhao naturally sensed this change, but he didn’t really bother about this.

The others also came over in succession to greet Fang Zhao. They noticed Danke’s change in attitude towards Fang Zhao, and their assessment of Fang Zhao changed once again. There was indeed more than meets the eye to this Fang Zhao person.

On the balcony at this moment.

Zaro, Chu Bo and Woo Tianhao were squatting like three potatoes.

Chu Bo had a cigarette in his hand and was making a pained expression. “I’ve been under a lot of pressure lately, how annoying. Let me have some alone time. You guys head in first.”

“With the concert?” Woo Tianhao lit up his own cigarette and handed Zaro one.

The moment Zaro heard the word concert, he piled onto the somewhat distressed Chu Bo. “Hey, I heard you were called up for a talking-to again?”

“Mmhm.” Chu Bo didn’t wish to talk about this topic.

Because he had let loose and hurled vulgarities on the stage during one stop of his global tour, his current concert here at Huangzhou had nearly been canceled. Huangcheng’s media department had given him a stern reprimand.

However, this wasn’t the reason Chu Bo was under a lot of pressure. Huangcheng’s media department had been rather amiable during his reprimand. They gave a lot of face to the Chu family of Jinzhou. However, the media department then disclosed this matter to Old Master Chu. If not for the concert in Huangcheng, Old Master Chu would have hauled Chu Bo back for another dressing-down.

He had only been given a verbal reprimand this time, but if he still couldn’t control his emotions during this Huangzhou tour, he would never ever have another world tour concert. Although the old master hadn’t explicitly said it, Chu Bo understood what the old man meant.

Chu Bo wasn’t didn’t fear his parents, but he was afraid of his grandfather. When his grandfather was lecturing him and saw that the situation wasn’t improving, he didn’t scold or hit him. Instead, he forced him to admit his mistakes obediently out of fear.

Heh, the cheap tricks of the elderly!!

Chu Bo was helpless about this fear.

He raised his head and exhaled smoke slowly.

Chu Bo didn’t want to let Zaro and Woo Tianhao know about the timid way he had admitted his errors to his grandfather.

Zaro looked at the time and got up. “Bobo, stop squatting on the balcony already. Let me bring you to see my newly won trophy!”

The purpose of Zaro’s gathering this time was to flaunt his new trophy. He wanted to prove to everyone that he was also a champion Esports athlete!

Chu Bo continued squatting there and rolled his eyes at Zaro. What’s the big deal about a bunch of gaming gods carrying a burden like you to win a small-scale competition?

Zaro didn’t think this way. He didn’t consider the competition rules or the prize money. He had just been a voluntary meat shield and was proud of it.

“Fang Zhao should have arrived. I will let him take a look at my trophy,” Zaro said.

“Fang Zhao?” Chu Bo’s distressed face went rigid. “You called him?”

“Of course I did. He is also in the Esports scene!”

Zaro didn’t notice the changes in Chu Bo’s tone but Woo Tianhao did.

“Bobo, are you afraid of Fang Zhao?” Woo Tianhao asked.

“My *ss! Me, afraid of him?!!” Chu Bo was so pissed steam nearly came out from his nostrils.

He had just said that when the door to the balcony opened and someone came out from the apartment.

Chu Bo saw those raised eyebrows and that stern gaze. Chu Bo hadn’t yet seen the face clearly, but his heart tensed up. He flicked the cigarette in his hand away.

Chu Bo: “...”

Zaro and Woo Tianhao glanced at Fang Zhao who had just entered. They then looked at Chu Bo’s cigarette that had been sent flying. “...”

Chu Bo, you still said you weren’t afraid of Fang Zhao!

You are so terrified that you tossed away your cigarette!

Actually, Fang Zhao had no intention of scaring anyone. He hadn’t specially eavesdropped on the trio’s conversation either. He had only smelled smoke. There were many singers and performers in HuangArt. They all took measures to protect their own throats and showed extreme restraint when smoking. Someone like Chu Bo who had to practice singing every day was actually here squatting and smoking?

Chu Bo flushed from the stares of the other three. He was clearly embarrassed and tried to give an excuse. “I’m not smoking. I just lit one to smell what it’s like.”

Chu Bo felt his insides crumbling. Why must I explain? Why am I like a terrified grandson? Could it be that I am psychologically scared of Fang Zhao?

Sensing Chu Bo’s embarrassment, Fang Zhao didn’t linger on this matter and instead turned to Zaro. “I heard that you just won a competition?”

Zaro had originally been wondering why Chu Bo was so frightened of Fang Zhao. But, upon hearing Fang Zhao mention championship, he immediately forgot all about Chu Bo and chuckled heartily. He brought Fang Zhao to view the championship trophy.

After flaunting the trophy for quite a bit, Zaro remembered something his Esports teammates had asked. “Did you receive the invitation for the All-star match Fiery Bird is organizing next month?”

The All-star match organized by Fiery Bird involved the 20 most popular games released by Fiery Bird. The All-star match were a series of exhibition matchs. Teams weren’t invited, and only a certain portion of gaming gods ranked near the top were invited. And amongst the twenty games, “Battle of the Century’s” popularity occupied more than 90% of viewership, and the Esports athletes invited were naturally the most popular. Thus, it could be said that this was a “Battle of the Century” All-star match.

Fang Zhao still didn’t know about this and replied, “Nope. I don’t play competitive now.”

Zaro hadn’t received an invitation either and felt at ease. He consoled Fang Zhao by patting his shoulder. “If you don’t get invited, shall we go to the venue and watch it? I have already asked Woo Tianhao and the others.”

“You guys go ahead. I have to submit my dissertation next month and prepare for graduation,” Fang Zhao said.

Zaro had a look of sympathy. An Esports athlete who used to be really popular couldn’t even go watch the match. How miserable.

In Yanzhou.

After a meeting, the members of Silver Wing’s professional gaming team were gathered for a chat.

Jinro and four others had already received invitations for Fiery Bird’s All-star match.

Schwarzer, who had also received the invitation, suddenly asked, “I wonder if Zhao God received an invite.”

Despite so much time passing, Schwarzer still remembered how he had been so mercilessly kicked the first time he had challenged Fang Zhao. Despite playing “Battle of the Century” for so long and transforming from newbie to senior, Schwarzer still quivered whenever Fang Zhao was mentioned. Besides the monsters in the game, only Fang Zhao was able to send him offline with just one kick.

The group that had been chatting and laughing suddenly fell silent when Fang Zhao was mentioned. After a while, someone spoke.

“I don’t think so. Zhao God is busy trying to graduate. The period of the All-star Match probably clashes with his dissertation submission. I have already seen his schedule, and honestly speaking, I don’t think he will participate in the match.”

“Special guest? He is a Fiery Bird endorser. The All-star match is considered an important commercial activity. He wouldn’t be omitted, right?”

“He also didn’t attend last year’s Fiery Bird customer gratitude ceremony.”

Jinro rubbed his chin and kicked Schwarzer. “Go ask Nanfeng. Didn’t you talk a lot to him the last time Zhao God returned?”

Schwarzer hesitated for a bit and sent Nanfeng a message. He didn’t dare ask Fang Zhao directly. What if he disturbed Fang Zhao when he was composing? Fang Zhao would beat him to death.

Five minutes later.

Schwarzer heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Nanfeng’s reply.

“Hahahaha, Brother Nan said that Zhao God will be very busy with his thesis during this period and won’t be taking part in any other activities!”

The All-star match was actually a stage for these popular gamers to be pretentious. Competition was secondary, and entertainment was primary. Schwarzer didn’t wish to be kicked offline by Fang Zhao while he was being pretentious. That would be really disgraceful in front of all the fans in the world.
