A Person in Honkai, My Cheat is Bouncing Warehouse Chapter 23

Ren Yu instantly became alert.

"When did I ever say I'd give you my Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs if I lost?"

"You didn't? It's our dorm tradition! The loser of a game has to give a dish to the winner."

Kiana explained righteously.

"Since you, the teaching assistant, lost to me just now, your Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs belong to me. Any problem?"

"..."

Is that a thing?

Ren Yu didn't say anything, just stared at Kiana with a half-smile.

"Te-teaching assistant, why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Kiana somewhat unnaturally touched her cheeks, but finding nothing, she irritably said, "Hmph, just give me the ribs already!"

But Ren Yu shook his head. "No, let's play again. I wasn't playing my best just now."

"Eh... really?"

Kiana dragged out her words, her eyes becoming doubtful. It was clear she didn't quite believe Ren Yu's nonsense.

How is that possible?

If he were truly a master of fighting games, his playstyle would at least have a hint of his own style. It's impossible for him to be just mashing buttons like a complete newbie.

"If you don't believe me, let's try then?"

Ren Yu dangled the controller in front of her, tempting her:

"If I lose, I'll give you the other dish too, how about that?"

"Deal!"

Kiana immediately agreed, secretly delighted.

Looks like I get to eat an extra dish!

A few minutes later...

As a cool finishing move played out, a line of English text popped up on the TV screen.

Kung Jin Wins!

Ren Yu put down the controller and glanced provocatively at Kiana.

This time, his character "Kung Jin" had won!

"..."

How is this possible?

Beside him, Kiana tightly pursed her lips, staring blankly at the controller in her hands.

She remembered that only Bronya could beat her in Dummy Fighter.

And the teaching assistant clearly couldn't beat her at first, but after a few rounds, he suddenly seemed like a different person.

So strong!

Kiana considered herself a fighting game veteran of many years, but this guy was playing even more fiercely than her!

Thinking of this, she suddenly turned her head and stared at Ren Yu with suspicious eyes. "Hey, you darn teacher, are you cheating?"

He was clearly being dominated by her just moments ago, so why did he suddenly become so good?

There must be something fishy going on!

Ren Yu's expression remained unchanged as he retorted confidently, "I swapped controllers with you, and we swapped playing positions. Tell me, how am I cheating?"

Kiana's tone faltered.

It does seem that way.

But why does she feel like something is still not right?

"I'm not convinced! Let's go again. This time, we'll switch positions and use different controllers!"

"Sure." Ren Yu nodded indifferently and switched positions with Kiana.

Of course, they also swapped controllers.

A few minutes later.

'Kung Jin Wins!'

As the English text appeared, Kiana lost once again.

"Again!"

She shouted defiantly once more.

'Kung Jin Wins!'

'Kung Jin Wins!'

"Want to go again?"

After controlling his in-game character to deliver a side kick that cleared Kiana's last sliver of health, Ren Yu turned his head and asked the white-haired girl beside him with a smile.

"I..."

Kiana's expression was not good.

She really wanted to say "one more round," but as the words reached her lips, she suddenly realized she had no chips left!

Each round lasted a few minutes, and after five or six rounds, she had lost them all!

Kiana stared blankly at her own fair and tender hands, as if questioning life itself.

—Am I going to eat plain white rice tonight?
