After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God - Chapter 619

Chapter 619: Si Fuqing: Because I’m NINE (2)

Translator: _Min_

The forums of the Great Xia region were abuzz with excitement.

[Will NINE the God actually show up? It’s been such a rare occasion since his comeback, and I’m curious about his appearance.]

[His gaming skills are unquestionably top-notch! But don’t hold your breath for his looks—I’ve seen him, and he’s just an older guy.]

[?? Where did you see him?]

[I don’t know about meeting NINE, but I’ll definitely see my goddess! Si Fuqing is the spokesperson, so she’s bound to come!]

After Si Fuqing became the spokesperson for Oracle, her commercial value skyrocketed, surpassing that of second-tier celebrities despite not having a complete body of work yet.

None of her contemporaries could compete with her in terms of endorsements.

Several influential bloggers had already started comparing Si Fuqing with top actresses.

Around this time, Lemon Entertainment hastily announced their contract termination with Meng Xue and went silent afterwards.

Moreover, Meng Xue’s social media accounts remained inactive.

Not just insiders, but even outsiders understood what this silence signified.

Meng Xue had been blacklisted without a trace or warning.

Her remaining fans were in an uproar, unable to reach her agent or company, and could only vent in her forum.

Curiosity arose among onlookers.

[Rumor has it she got into trouble overseas and was deported back here.]

[Pay up, pay up. I told you she’d be next, now you all owe me.]

[I’m still curious about what she did. It’s not like she committed murder or arson…]

While netizens reveled in the gossip, Chi Yu came online.

He reposted Oracle’s announcement of Si Fuqing becoming their spokesperson, accompanied by three words.

[@ChiYuV: I’m sorry.]

He pinned this post to the top of his profile.

Fans of D6 were bewildered.

[??? What’s going on?]

[Though I’m confused, it’s definitely related to Meng Xue. Who doesn’t know

Chi Yu is a fanboy of hers?]

[Fanboy… He’s blind indeed. Good thing I unfollowed early.]

[Get lost, no need for your apology!]

Si Fuqing’s fans also reposted the Oracle spokesperson announcement, quickly overshadowing Chi Yu’s post.

Si Fuqing, unaware of these developments, returned to her filming schedule.

In the “Crossing the Demon Realm” series, since Sui Yan traveled across the mortal realm, they had many locations to shoot, and today’s shoot was in An City.

Tang Haiqiu, knowing Si Fuqing’s family was from there, allowed her to leave early.

“Fuqing, be prepared for next week; we’re nearing the end,” Tang Haiqiu said cheerfully. “I hope you can surprise me again. I’ve already contacted Old Qin to aim to get onto the major satellite networks. You’ll definitely be the breakout female lead next year.”

Securing a satellite slot for a xianxia drama was challenging and depended on the TV station’s discretion.

“Thank you, Director Tang,” Si Fuqing nodded. “I’ve requested this Saturday off to attend the Oracle player meetup in the Great Xia region.”

“Go ahead,” Tang Haiqiu gestured dismissively. “It could be beneficial for you to meet more people, considering you’ve only started your career recently.”

Tang Haiqiu decided to try playing Oracle himself after making a round of the set.

That evening, Si Fuqing returned home.

After dinner, she approached Nian Yi’an, “Yi’an, interested in joining OPL? I’ll make a plan for you that won’t interfere with your studies.”

“OPL?” Nian Yi’an was taken aback. “Of course, I’m interested, but my skills probably aren’t up to professional standards, are they?”

Si Fuqing hummed in agreement, “The finals aren’t until next April; we have five months, no rush.”

Nian Yi’an: ‘

So, his sister plans to train him to become a professional player within these five months?

“But Sister Qingqing, it’s too late to form a team now,” Nian Yi’an realized. “0PL is so popular that there are countless applicants every year, so only a few teams qualify, and those are usually decided the year before. New teams can only hope for next year’s selection.”

Si Fuqing narrowed her eyes, “So, we need to join a team?”

“You could join any team you like,” Nian Yi’an said hesitantly. “My reflexes have just touched 300, which wouldn’t be enough for big teams.”

The captain of the Mars team had personally invited Si Fuqing to join, which was widely discussed in the forums.

Many expressed regret at her decline.

“Then I’ll join your team,” Si Fuqing stated nonchalantly. “Reflexes can be improved. I’ll look into some smaller teams in need of players.”

“Wait!” Nian Yi’an suddenly remembered something. “I know a guy from a game who’s a team captain. They made it to the top sixteen in the Great Xia region last year and definitely have a spot this year.” “We’ve met in person, and he’s in An City.” “Alright,” Si Fuqing agreed. “Contact him, and we’ll go see him.”

Meanwhile, in an underground warehouse,

Surrounded by worn-out esports desks and chairs and damaged mechanical keyboards, three young men sat on the floor, their clothes washed to a faded white.

“If we hadn’t offended the Ji family, we wouldn’t have been cut off from equipment,” one of them lamented. “Maybe… maybe you should just join their team, captain. Don’t let your esports career end like this.”

“Why should I join their team?” the captain scoffed. “I’d rather quit gaming.

Today, Yi’an is coming; don’t talk like that.”

The teammates exchanged looks and sighed.

Twenty minutes later, the warehouse door opened.

As the three turned, they jumped up in surprise.

One stuttered in disbelief, “You, you, you…”

Although they were not involved in the entertainment industry, focusing solely on esports, logging into Oracle since yesterday greeted them with a popup featuring Si Fuqing’s photo and a gift package from the Oracle system.

Anyone playing Oracle would recognize Si Fuqing’s face, even if they didn’t know her name.

Why would a major celebrity suddenly visit this forsaken place?

The trio was stunned.

“Jing Zhou, this is my cousin,” Nian Yi’an stepped forward. “This is the situation, my cousin and I are planning to compete in OPL, but it’s too late to form a team. We’re wondering if you have any spots available.”

“We do have a slot for the OPL qualifiers,” Jing Zhou frowned. “Is Miss Si just participating in the qualifiers? Didn’t the Mars team invite you?”

“No,” Si Fuqing lifted her head. “OPL finals.”

This declaration changed the atmosphere.

“Miss Si, reaching the OPL finals is not as easy as you think,” Jing Zhou took a aeep Dream, usiDIY agitatea. ••mrsc, you neea a team strong enougn, witn eacn member’s APM over 350.”

APM over 300 were enough for professional competitions, but 350 was just the beginning for the OPL finals. The lowest APM in the West Deities team was 420.

“Do you know the transfer fee for players with reflexes over 350?” Jing Zhou pressed his lips together. “Thirty million! Miss Si, I know money isn’t an issue for you, but why would those players transfer? You can’t buy such professional players with money!”

“If you really want to reach the finals, you should join the Mars team,” Jing Zhou advised.

Si Fuqing listened quietly, without objection.

“We lack both manpower and resources,” Jing Zhou turned away, looking weary. “You say you want to join my team and reach the finals, but based on what?”

After a year of struggling without securing proper resources or equipment, he was close to giving up.

But even if he abandoned esports, he would never turn to the Ji family for help.

Si Fuqing leaned forward, meeting his gaze: “Because I’m NINE..”
