Strike Back, Proud Goddess! Novel

Xiao Sa’s face turned dark, but when he was about to protest, Tang Xi said, “With such a good brother like you, I certainly don’t want to get married. If my future husband isn’t as nice as Sa, I might as well be an old maid.”

Pleased by her words, Xiao Sa rubbed Tang Xi’s hair with a glad smile and said, “Then don’t marry. We can afford you.”

Tang Xi smiled and said nothing. Xiao Sa asked, “Would you like to play the game?”

Tang Xi shook her head. “No.”

Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing weren’t surprised; they knew of Xiao Rou’s previous living environment. She probably hadn’t even seen a PSP game console before, not to mention computer games.

As Xiao Sa was about to sit down, Tang Xi said, “I’m afraid I’ll crush you in-game, so forget it.”

Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing were shocked. Xiao Sa didn’t want to hurt her, so he just shook his head with a smile, while Xiao Jing said, “Rourou, I can crush you with one hand, okay?”

Tang Xi pursed her lips and said, “Then let’s bet. I watched you play, so I’ve almost figured out the rules of the game. Let’s bet?”

Although she was not good at the computer, she was really a game master. She used to play a game where she had almost become invincible. In the game, she used a male ID and often snatched the First Kill of other gamers, so in the end, as soon as she logged into the game, almost all the other gamers would come to hunt her. Although she was a game master, she was desperately outnumbered. She had no choice but to change her ID, join a faction and help them kill bosses from time to time. And then she came to feel bored and quit the game.

“I’ll bet you a car. If you win, I’ll give you a car. After all, you’ve reached the age to get a driver’s license. Go get a driver’s license and I’ll buy you a car. You can choose whatever you like.”

Tang Xi’s eyes lit up. She had been planning to get a car. Yesterday she had thought that when she received the three-million yuan endorsement fee, she would get a driver’s license and buy a suitable car, but it seemed that she wouldn’t have to pay for it now.

At this thought, Tang Xi couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Jing and ask, “Jing, tell me how much money you have. If I can’t win a good car, I won’t try my best.”

The corner of Xiao Jing’s eye twitched and he sighed, saying, “You mean whether you’ll try your best depends on the balance of my bank account?”

Tang Xi shrugged and said, “Of course.”

Xiao Jing immediately felt insulted. Although the person who had insulted him was his sister, he was still very unhappy. “Okay, I’ll buy you any car if you can beat me, even if you want a limited edition sports car!” Then he asked Tang Xi, “What if you lose?”

Tang Xi smiled confidently. “I won’t lose.”

Xiao Jing sneered, “Rourou, I wouldn’t be so hasty if I were you. If you lose, you’ll be so embarrassed.”

Tang Xi shrugged nonchalantly, blew at the hangover soup in her hand and finished it with several mouthfuls. She then walked over and sat in Xiao Sa’s seat, saying, “May the best man win. If I lose, I’ll give the three-million yuan endorsement fee to Jing. How do you like that?”

Xiao Jing blew a whistle. “Wow, that’s a lot of money. You won’t go back on your word, right?”

Tang Xi smiled and looked at Xiao Jing. “I hope you won’t go back on your word.”

Xiao Sa suddenly said, “Why do I feel Rourou is like someone I used to know in a game?”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. “Oh?”

“That boy was really adept at computer games. He always kept to himself and never joined any faction. Sometimes he would steal First Kills from other gamers. I observed him for a long time and I planned to recruit him to our company and let him join our team. However, as he often snatched others’ First Kill and was always high-profile, he was besieged by many teams and factions. Every time he showed up, he would be besieged. So he quit that game in the end.” Xiao Sa shook his head with regret. “I checked his ID, and found out he was a student from the capital. So I tried to find him, but failed.”

Tang Xi didn’t know what to say. She didn’t know that Sa and she had actually met long ago!

“People like that wouldn’t be suitable for any team.” Xiao Jing didn’t think a person without team awareness would fit in any team.

“So I didn’t form a team,” Xiao Sa said. “But my dream is to organize a super team made up of all game masters without team awareness, and sweep away the game world.”

The corner of Tang Xi’s eye twitched. “Sa, what a great dream!”

Xiao Sa laughed and Xiao Jing said, “Come on, don’t complain that I’m bullying you. I’ll warm up with you first before entering the game.”

Tang Xi shrugged casually and replied, “Alright.”

After two rounds, Tang Xi had become familiar with this game and the skills of Xiao Sa’s role, so she said to Xiao Jing, “Let’s start. Jing, let’s see how the genius Tang Xi kills you in a second!”

Xiao Jing curled his lips. “Don’t cry when you lose.”

Tang Xi shrugged. “If I lose with Sa’s super equipment, I’ll never play games again.”

The two started to fight in the game. Tang Xi played with a casual smile on her face. It was like she was teasing Xiao Jing. She seemed as if about to kill Xiao Jing, but she didn’t do it in one go and even healed Xiao Jing midway. Watching them playing from the side, Xiao Sa narrowed his eyes. Why did Rourou’s play style look so familiar?

Just like the gamer who had disappeared…

But that guy was in the capital…

Denying this possibility in his mind, Xiao Sa continued watching the fight. Xiao Jing looked no longer as casual as he did a moment ago. He used both hands, completely forgetting that he said he could win against Tang Xi just with one hand. Tang Xi glanced at Xiao Jing, smiled and didn’t say anything. She turned her eyes to the screen, approached Xiao Jing’s character from a tricky angle and launched ultimate attacks on him. Then she threw the game controller away and looked at Xiao Jing, saying, “Jing… You lost.”

Xiao Jing felt both physically and mentally abused by his sister. He shouted hysterically, “You freak!”

She was really a big freak! Just when he had finally accepted the fact that her face would change day by day, he was shocked by her again! She had easily crushed him, a game master, in a game even though she was new to it! He was devastated by her! He didn’t want to play games anymore!

Apparently, Tang Xi didn’t expect Xiao Jing would be so upset, so she patted Xiao Jing on the shoulder caringly and comforted him, “Don’t be sad, Jing. After all, Sa’s equipment is great.”

“I’m as well equipped as he is!”

Tang Xi: “… Well. I am a genius, but don’t feel inferior to me.”
