The next day, thanks to yesterday's Hundred Palaces of the Immortal Realm Painting and her undefeated record in Go, quite a few viewers came to the stream as soon as it began.
I heard there's an amazing Empress streamer here?
I came because I saw that painting too. It was really well done!
I heard this streamer is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Is that true?
It's true! Yesterday, not a single person could beat her!
"Do any of you mortals wish to challenge this Empress today?"
"It doesn't have to be chess. Other areas are fine too~"
Long Yue sat before the computer and confidently declared this to the stream.
The moment she said that, the chat exploded.
The streamer is as arrogant as ever!
No matter what, we can't let the streamer be this cocky today, right?
Are there any experts left in the stream?
Where's the Demon Supreme? Hurry up and get the Demon Supreme out here!
Long Yue leisurely snacked on dried fruit while smiling at the scrolling chat.
Very soon, the first brave challenger stepped forward in the comments.
Anything is fine? What about games?
"Games..."
At the mention of competing in games, Long Yue immediately looked troubled.
The first time she had ever touched a game was when she tried Honor of Kings the day before yesterday. She had only played for half a day and still barely understood it.
She had never even encountered other kinds of games. The gaming field could be considered one of her greatest weaknesses.
Seeing that Long Yue seemed hesitant and was trying to back out, everyone in the stream immediately began to jeer and mock her.
Streamer, streamer, didn't you say any field was fine? Why don't you dare agree?
No way, no way. Isn't the streamer an Empress? She doesn't even dare accept this challenge?
The streamer is scared. Stop making things difficult for her.
Stop it. The streamer might get angry in a moment.
Crack!
Seeing the sarcastic comments in the stream, Long Yue angrily bit down and crushed the dried fruit in her mouth. She immediately accepted the challenge in a fury.
"What a joke! Who says this Empress is afraid? This Empress is the Empress of the Extreme Saint Heavenly Palace. How could this Empress fear a challenge from mere mortals!"
"Tell me! What game is it!"
With the honor of the Empress of the Extreme Saint Heavenly Palace at stake, she absolutely could not show weakness or cowardice before mortals!
Lin Fan, who was sitting nearby watching the stream, could not help but shake his head helplessly.
Empress was as she had always been. A little provocation, and she immediately took the bait...
It was not that he doubted her gaming skills. No matter how good someone was, they still needed time to adapt and become familiar with a game.
Pick any game she had never played before, and wouldn't she just be getting crushed?
Sure enough, just as Lin Fan had expected, the other party proposed a one-on-one duel in a game called CS2.
Long Yue had never even heard of it, but since she had already boasted, she could only bite the bullet and go through with it.
"Empress, the gap between experts and beginners in this game is huge. Are you sure you want to compete with him in this?"
While helping Long Yue install the game, Lin Fan tried to persuade her.
He had played this game with friends before, and the result was obvious. As a beginner, sometimes he would be mysteriously headshotted and killed without even seeing anyone.
Beginners entering this game often had no enjoyable experience at all. They had to go through being relentlessly beaten before they gradually got the hang of it.
Hearing Lin Fan say this, Long Yue's pretty face showed a trace of concern. But her gaze quickly hardened as she said to herself,
"It's fine. No matter what it is, this Empress will not lose to mortals!"
If you can't find a book by its title, try searching for the author. It may have simply been renamed!
Ever since she had been born in the Immortal Realm, she had caused heavenly phenomena. Whether it was immortal arts, ancient texts, alchemy, artifact forging, or formations, she often only needed to look once to remember everything perfectly and comprehend it completely!
There would be no problem with a mere little game made by mortals!
Very soon, with gigabit internet, the game finished installing. Long Yue entered the game map through the platform.
"Why can this game only see the arms? Where is this Empress's body?"
Just as she was wondering about that, she suddenly heard a bang against her head, and the game screen turned black and white.
"Huh...? Has the game already started? Is this Empress dead?"
Long Yue looked at the chat with a face full of confusion.
Before she could figure out what had happened, her character respawned and the next round began. Then came another bang, and the screen turned black and white again...
"Huh?!!"
Long Yue could not help letting out a confused cry as she flusteredly handled the keyboard and mouse.
"How do you move in this game? Why is this Empress looking at the sky? Ah... why is this Empress dead again...?"
Watching Long Yue's clumsy and unfamiliar gameplay, the entire stream burst into laughter.
Hahaha, Empress really doesn't know how to play at all.
That camera control screams beginner. She probably hasn't even played any other FPS games, right?
So this is Empress's ability?
Hahaha, we finally get to watch the streamer get absolutely destroyed.
After a bout of frantic fumbling, Long Yue unsurprisingly ended the match in a humiliating shutout loss.
"Demon Supreme! What exactly is going on with this game...?"
Unwilling to accept it, Long Yue turned around and looked at Lin Fan pitifully.
Lin Fan wore a helpless expression that said, I told you so, but you wouldn't listen. Then he called her into the bedroom, opened the game on his own computer, entered a training map, and began teaching her hands-on.
"This Venerable will teach you the basic controls of this game."
"These are the movement keys. The left mouse button fires. As long as you kill the opponent, you win."
"Your bullet spread is unstable when you move and fire, so you need to release the movement keys and stop steadily before shooting."
"You need several shots to kill an enemy by hitting the body, but if you move the mouse to their head and click lightly, you can deal massive damage. Some guns can kill with a single shot."
As he spoke, Lin Fan moved the mouse and headshotted the game bot with one shot.
"There, like that."
"Oh! This Empress understands now. I just need to move the mouse over the other side's head and click? So it's that simple! You should've said so earlier!"
Long Yue suddenly understood. Excitedly, she ran back to her computer desk and put on her headset again.
"This Empress is back! Let's do it again. This time, this Empress definitely won't lose!"
With that, she and her opponent quickly started another one-on-one match.
During the first few rounds, she was slowly becoming familiar with the game, and the two fought back and forth evenly.
But after several rounds, the situation suddenly changed. Whenever Long Yue peeked out, she would instantly take down her opponent with a series of bam bam shots. Her opponent could not even fire a single bullet!
Seeing this, everyone in the stream was stunned.
Holy shit! What's going on?
Am I seeing things? The streamer is instantly killing the other side?
Holy shit, that counter-strafe, that head-locking aim—so stable!
You're telling me this is the same person who got shut out just now?
Playing the pig to eat the tiger! She's definitely playing the pig to eat the tiger! The streamer must've thrown the first game on purpose, pretending to be a beginner for content! We got played, brothers!
Can't walk, crosshair placement is awful, but her aim locks onto heads. Do I need to explain any further, everyone?
Lin Fan was also utterly astonished by Long Yue's sudden transformation.
If they had not lived under the same roof, he would have suspected she had secretly plugged in a USB drive...
He had merely taught her the basic controls of the game, yet she had gradually grasped the essence of its mechanics!
As the match went on, her improvement became visibly apparent with every round!
Her talent for gaming was simply too terrifying!
