Chapter 555 Dominating Her Opponents
When Zobber entered the house, she was stunned by what she saw. Catherine was sitting in the middle of the sofa. Several young men surrounded her. They were completely focused on her phone.
Zobber nudged Withal, asking, “What’s going on?”
Withal rolled his eyes. Lately, he felt like his eyes were twitching from rolling them too much.
“What’s going on? Can’t you tell that Catherine is playing games?” Withal replied, ignoring Zobber. How could he miss the thrilling scene of Catherine dominating her opponents?
Catherine had reached the final of this game. She was leading Francis and Carlo against four professional players from the opposing team.
Currently, the situation was that all three opponents, except the captain, had been eliminated. On their side, only Catherine remained.
It was now a one-on-one showdown between Catherine and the top-ranked player on the server, Hero.
Hero played for the powerful Golden Star Professional League and was considered the best player in the country for this game. His skills in mobile gaming were incredible, and he often represented Eskana in matches against foreign players. No one expected Catherine to be matched up against Hero for a showdown.
As the battle unfolded, Hero had taken an advantageous position. He was in the center of the circle and didn’t need to avoid the poison.
Catherine was on the edge of the circle, with only 10 seconds left before the poison would start closing in. There was no cover ahead. If she ran directly, she would undoubtedly lose.
At the Golden Star Training Center, all the team members were surprised to be matched against such a strong opponent while casually playing a game.
All three professional gamers on their team had been eliminated, leaving only their captain, Hero.
Jerry carefully watched the screen, observing his captain’s every move.
“Cap, we will win, right? The opponent will reveal their position when they try to enter the circle, and they will be doomed. But then again, I didn’t expect them to be this tough. Can’t believe these random players are so formidable. It’s truly terrifying,” Jerry said. His teammates all fell silent.
No one expected that a casual match would turn out to be so intense. They were professional players. But now, they had to rely on their captain to turn the tide. Those random players were much better at this game than they had imagined.
Hero silently stared at the screen, his eyes fixed on his surroundings.
Just as Jerry had said, they had underestimated the opponents’ skills. They never expected that a casual match would be more challenging than a professional league game. They had come to crush some noobs, but now they were in a one-on-one situation.
Although Hero had confidence in winning this round of the game, the fact that they had turned a casual match into such a situation was proof of their failure.
The 10-second countdown ended, and Catherine officially began her attack. She knew that her opponent had locked onto her. She couldn’t see their position, but that didn’t hinder her progress.
The poison zone was tens of times larger than the safety zone. Although the poison zone seemed perilous, the safety zone was even more dangerous.
Catherine pulled out a few smoke grenades from her backpack and threw them in all directions. She knew that the moment she threw the smoke grenades, she had exposed her position. Her opponent was not weak, so it wasn’t difficult for them to spot her.
After Catherine threw the smoke grenades, she immediately changed her position.
The moment Hero saw the smoke grenades being thrown, a smirk gradually appeared on his face, as he understood that the game was about to end. He took out his gun, pulled the trigger, and shot into the smoke.
The bullet grazed Catherine’s shoulder, but she skillfully dodged it. She quickly switched guns and started shooting at a rapid pace.
The game ended.
Jerry and his teammates stared at the second place on the screen, instantly dumbfounded. They thought their captain would win for sure, but it didn’t happen.
Jerry stood up instantly, bellowing, ” How is this possible? They must be cheating! There were no ballistics just now! How could it end like this? Maybe there’s a glitch in the game!”
Jerry angrily cursed, unable to accept the fact that their captain had lost. Hero, on the other hand, faced everything with calmness. He said casually, “It’s the VSS.”
Withal was stunned. “The VSS sniper rifle can indeed hide ballistics, but who would choose such a lousy gun in the final?” he analyzed. “Not to mention its low damage, its accuracy is shockingly low, making it practically useless at a certain distance. How confident was the opponent to use this gun?”
Hero looked at the opponent’s concise ID on the screen and fell into deep thought. He then opened the chat box and sent a message.
After finishing the game, Catherine noticed a small red dot on the chat box, so she clicked on it.
[Are you a professional player?]
Catherine glanced at it and then closed the chat box, completely ignoring it. She threw her phone aside, and cheers immediately erupted around her.
Carlo looked at Catherine with admiration on his face, shouting, Catherine! Super Catherine! You’re my idol! You just defeated Hero! You’re amazing!” 11
In that game, there was probably no one who didn’t know Hero. He was the best player on the server, not only in this game but also in several others. He never lost a battle.
But even such a top player had lost to Catherine.
Catherine, who was not a professional player and had not received long-term training, managed to defeat the top player on the server despite being at a geographical disadvantage. It proved just how formidable she was.
Not only Carlo, but everyone else also looked at Catherine in awe. She was so good at this game that they couldn’t help but admire her.
Sensing the excitement of these people, Zobber felt a bit unhappy. She approached Catherine, saying, Catherine, everyone played the game except for me. How about we play another round, and I join you?” 11
Catherine held the nearby documents and tapped Zobber on the head.
“Not before the mission is completed.”
Although reluctant, Zobber understood the priorities and carefully took the documents handed to her by Catherine, storing them in a bag.
“Alright, Catherine, so you promise that once I finish the mission, you’ll play a round of the game with me, right?”
Catherine didn’t respond or refuse.
Zobber assumed that Catherine had agreed. She believed that as long as Catherine had free time, Catherine would definitely play this game with her.
During the intense match between Catherine and the top player, Zobber hadn’t noticed the other people in the room. Now that the game had ended, she suddenly noticed Francis in the corner.
That day, the person who attacked her had a mask on, so she couldn’t see their face clearly. But at such a close distance, Zobber recognized him. Her eyes widened instantly, and she pointed at Francis, shouting, “You brat, it was you who attacked me, right?
