Xue Xi paused.
Holding her phone, she walked to the balcony again. After answering the call, she heard Little Flame’s voice. “Sister Xi, do you want to play a game?”
Xue Xi paused. “Mhm?”
Little Flame’s voice sounded very constricted as he said, “Solo, shooter. I’ll teach you.”
Xue Xi: “…Alright.”
She looked at the time. It was already 9 PM and it was indeed time for her to play games.
Earlier, the nanny van had been very stable and spacious. Hence, on her way to the capital today, she had already finished four sets of Mathematical Olympiad questions and would not be studying tonight.
After hanging up the call, she returned to her dormitory. The other three instantly looked at her. “Learning God, do you want to study? We promise that we won’t disturb you.”
Xue Xi: “…No. I’ll play some games.”
The other three: “??”
After saying this, Xue Xi sat on her chair, picked up her phone, put on her earphones, and opened the game.
While she was entering the game, she heard the other three people discussing softly:
“Is the Master giving up on herself?”
“I don’t know, but the Goddess of Studying has already been accepted to university. Perhaps she only came here to feel the competition’s atmosphere? Maybe she won’t even participate in the Mathematical Olympiad in the end. Sigh. Let’s just do some exercise questions.”
“Before we came here, the Golden Autumn Camp organizers had sent us a few sets of papers. Let’s hurry up and do them! When we’re done, we can let the Master copy.”
Xue Xi entered the game.
She and Gao Yanchen chose the same character mode. Playing marksman, Gao Yanchen started typing to teach her how to play. Xue Xi grasped things the moment she was taught. Basically, after playing with Gao Yanchen for two or three rounds, she was able to grasp the skillset of this character and could fight Gao Yanchen to a draw.
After playing for two hours, Xue Xi finally defeated Gao Yanchen in a solo.
She heaved a sigh of relief and felt that this game was really fun. Gao Yanchen had really made her work hard to win.
Just as she was about to start another round, she realized that it was already eleven. It was time to sleep.
She sent Little Flame a message: “I’m not playing anymore.”
Little Flame: “Okay.”
Xue Xi suddenly thought of something and asked, “Have you returned to Bin City?”
Little Flame: “Mhm, on the way.”
He really went back.
Then again, there were two chauffeurs taking turns driving, so nothing would happen. She replied: “Okay.”
She put down her phone and stretched.
The other three roommates turned to look at her in unison.
After playing the game for two hours, she should at least read books and prepare for tomorrow’s pre-test, right? However, just as they thought this, they saw Xue Xi go to the bathroom to wash up.
When Xue Xi returned after washing up, she met their gazes. “Goddess, what time will you start studying tonight?”
Xue Xi: “… Aren’t you going to sleep too?”
The other three: “??”
Amid their shock, Xue Xi climbed onto the upper bunk bed beside the balcony and prepared to sleep. She lay down and covered herself with the blanket.
The three of them gulped. Someone walked to her bed. “Goddess, the Golden Autumn Camp organizers sent out a few sets of papers. We have to do them then hand them in tomorrow.”
After saying that, she continued, “The three of us have just compared our answers. Other than two questions that we don’t know, we’ve answered everything else.”
Illusion: Do you want to come down and copy?
However, before her dormitory mate could finish speaking, Xue Xi turned to the side and faced her. “Oh,” she replied before saying, “My paper is at the top.”
The rest: “?”
Xue Xi: “Which two questions don’t you know?”
The dormitory mate paused and walked over. She saw that Xue Xi’s desk had a few sets of papers on top, and they were all finished!
The three of them were stunned. They looked at each other, then turned to look at Xue Xi on the bed.
So it wasn’t that the Goddess of Studying gave up on herself just now, it was just that she had already finished studying?!
F*ck!
It turned out that the hardest part to swallow wasn’t that she was stronger than they were, but that she was more hardworking. Meaning that she was actually a hundred times better!
Their mentality was in danger of crumbling. When the heavens created humans, they must have favored the academic deities.
The three of them twitched their lips and flipped through her paper.
It was Xue Xi’s first time staying in a dormitory. When she was at the orphanage, she’d usually stayed in one room alone. Now, there were suddenly three more people with her. Moreover, even though they were already being very careful, when they flipped through the papers and wrote, there were rustling sounds.
Xue Xi could not sleep, so she picked up her phone to take a look.
She could not help but wonder if Xiang Huai had settled down or not.
Just as she thought of this, she suddenly received a WeChat message from Little Flame. “Sister Xi, are my skills as a marksman not outstanding enough?”
Xue Xi: “?”
She did not know where the ceiling of the professional level was, but when she was playing against Wild King, she did not feel as pressured as when she was playing against Little Flame.
Moreover, it was said that Sweetheart’s substitute was also a professional gamer. Xue Xi had only died twice before learning his tricks.
However, she’d won only a single round after playing with Little Flame for two hours.
Her instincts told her that Little Flame must be very outstanding.
She replied: “You played well.”
On the highway.
Two drivers sat in front and drove quietly.
Outside both windows, it was dark. Other than the streetlights, there was nothing else to see.
Gao Yanchen sat in the backseat and suppressed his stomach. He did not eat anything tonight and even drank a glass of beer, causing him to feel a little uncomfortable.
Actually, before he’d sparred with Xue Xi, he had already sparred with a professional gamer and crushed him.
It was not easy to become a shooter on the national server. He had been playing this game for five years.
But now, he’d finally hit the wall with Xue Xi.
She was truly formidable. She learned everything very quickly, as though she had copied his marksman skills at this level…
She had defeated him and his confidence.
He lowered his head and typed: “Then why did he not want me five years ago? Even now after five years, he still doesn’t want me.”

Upon realizing what he had written, he was stunned.
He stared at the resentful words on the screen and deleted them word by word before leaning back on his chair.
He was really cheap.
Knowing that that man was short of a marksman, Gao Yanchen presented himself to him.
He’d even said that he wanted to try entering the industry, but that man did not even ask.
Just what was so bad about him that was so despicable to that man?
Gao Yanchen closed his eyes and suddenly said, “Turn around at the next highway.”
The next day.
Xue Xi woke up and went to the canteen for breakfast before finally entering the classroom.
It was unknown who had spread the news of her playing games last night, but the moment she entered, she heard Li Xi’s temperamental voice. “She was actually playing games last night. Let’s see how many marks she can get, shall we?”
