Chapter 200
Samantha was rendered speechless.
Samantha: [They’re right, though. As the saying goes, “The fish rots from head down.]
Howard replied: [?]
Lawrence typed: [As expected from Samantha. As awesome as usual.]
Lionel sent: [Hahaha.]
Samantha said: [Get some rest and don’t worry about these unnecessary things. Be on time for practice at seven o’clock tomorrow, okay?]
Howard was rendered speechless.
Howard sent: [Heavens!]
Darwin said: [Got it.]
Lionel texted: [T’ll guarantee to be on time.]
Leila confirmed: [Okay.]
Lawrence typed: [Roger that, Samantha!]
Howard was at a loss.
Howard: [Are you all so obedient? Don’t you guys want to rest for another two days?]
Darwin denied: [Nope. It’s just you.]
Howard could only send a crying emoji to convey his feelings.
Half a month later, Samantha and Team Gorgeous celebrated the last match of their first round.
At present, only Team Gorgeous and Team Skyblade maintained their winning streak and were both ranked first.
Coincidentally, the opponent of Team Gorgeous happened to be the legendary Team Skyblade, which was said to rank first in the country.
It was the team Hannah had once played for–the team that once made it into the top three in the world, and the team that was said to be the embodiment of superb skills for the “Heroes of Kings” competition.
Although that was a college competition, and the team’s veteran players plus those who had participated in international- level competitions did not take part, their college–level contestants were not to be underestimated as they were as capable as any other players.
Many people in the e–sports circle even predicted that when the veterans of Team Skyblade retired three years later, those college–level contestants would become the team’s mainstay.
Thus, the capability of the young players from Team Skyblade was not to be underrated.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the young players to remain undefeated.
That day’s match was the last round for each team to gather points.

It was also the last match for both Team Gorgeous and Team Skyblade.
Thus, the match would also determine the winner of the first round.
On top of that, since Team Skyblade was involved in a match that day, the organizer even invited Hannah to emcee.
When another male commentator invited Hannah to the stage, the audience, especially the fans of Team Skyblade, instan burst into loud screams. The atmosphere at the venue was immediately heated.
Team Gorgeous was about to finish their first round, and yet they had never received such enthusiastic cheers.
That showed Hannah’s respectable status in the e–sports circle.
Hannah was well–dressed. She walked forward with confidence and grace before sitting down. After putting on her headset she greeted everyone with a gentle smile. “Hello, everyone. I’m Hannah.”
It was merely a greeting. Yet, it once again caused a series of screams to erupt in the venue.
“Oh, my gosh! It’s Anna–a former member of Team Skyblade!”
“You’re so gorgeous, Anna! I love you so much!”
“Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also very skilled. She’s the first female player from our country to stand on the international stage!”
น
“Ahhh! She’s a goddess! She could’ve easily become a model, yet she relied on her talent instead!”
The screams and cheers were never–ending.
Feeling helpless, the male commentator could only wave his hand, signaling everyone to tone it down.
Only then did the fans calm down.
The male commentator smiled and teased, “Despite retiring for three years, the number of your fans is only increasing, Anna. Myths about you are still passed around the e–sports circle.
Hannah gave a polite smile. “You’re flattering me. I am not a big deal. I was just lucky enough to be valued by Team Skyblade and was given the opportunity to participate in international competitions.”
“You’re too modest, Anna,” said the male commentator. “Everyone knows you’re a boss when playing as a mage. You were the one who managed to turn things around during the international quarter–finals last time. It was thanks to you that Team Skyblade won third place. This was also the best result our country managed to get internationally.”
Hannah smiled. “As you all know, I’ve been retired for three years. And as they say, the younger generation tends to surpass the old. I’m no longer a match for the current contestants–for example, the currently popular Team Gorgeous. Their strategy and playing method are remarkable and new. Especially the mid–laner mage–I think they’re better than Lwas back
then.”
The male commentator nodded. “You’re right, Anna. Team Gorgeous has been gaining momentum recently. It’s almost the end of the first round, and they’re still on their winning streak. They even defeated many strong teams. In today’s competition, the rising star, Team Gorgeous, will go head–to–head with the veteran, Team Skyblade. Both teams are currently maintaining their winning streaks. However, it’s up to today’s match to see who will end up winning the first round.”
“I’m looking forward to the performance of Team Gorgeous today,” Hannah started. “At the same time, I hope my team, Team Skyblade, can perform as usual and win the match!
“Ha! I’m looking forward to seeing the sparks fly between both teams,” said the male commentator.

Chapter 200
Following the commentator’s explanation, both teams went on stage.
Samantha and her Team Gorgeous had gained a lot of fans in the past half month. Thus, the number of people holding cheering banners for them at the venue was ten times that of their first match.
However, since their opponent was Team Skyblade, the amount of their fans was still not enough to be comparable.
Howard could not help but grumble when their fans‘ cheers and encouragements were completely drowned by Team Skyblade.

“Geez… When can we be at a venue where the cheers are solely for Team Gorgeous?” he complained.
Lawrence frowned, “I also want that. But Samantha often told us not to care about things that are out of our control. Yet again, who doesn’t want to be worshipped as a superhero?”
“I know, right? Besides, there are so many pretty girls here,” Howard whined.
Darwin was at a loss for words.
“Do you guys play games just to increase your fanbase?” Darwin asked.
Howard laughed. “Duh. I have around 100 thousand followers on Twitter now.”
“I’ll help you reach a million followers. I swear,” Samantha added
It was then Howard’s turn to be at a loss for words.
“Hey, big shot. Are you buying me 900 thousand zombie accounts?” Howard asked.
Samantha was speechless. “Howard’s hopeless,” she thought.
Samantha paused before slowly explaining, “You’ll get more than a million followers when we win the world championship!
Howard was dumbfounded. He took a while before saying, “The fans said we’d get bashed if Team Gorgeous were to win the national championship. How could you talk about winning the world championship? You have no idea how much online harassment we’d receive if they heard that.”
“As long as you achieve it, those attacks will eventually become praise but doubled,” Samantha asserted.
“So philosophical,” Howard retorted.
“Team Skyblade’s bottom laner has a very tricky way of playing You better be alert,” Samantha shot back.
Howard felt incredulous. “How could you change the topic so quickly?”
