From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 296: Team Name: Domination

Later at night, Jian Yujie teamed up with Yu Xi, Jian Yiling, and Zhai Yunsheng for the first time. This was the first time that he played this game.

Initially, Yu Xi planned to show off his skills in front of Jian Yujie.

In the past, he had always been the person who had gotten carried. This was because he played the worst amongst the three.

However, Jian Yujie was playing the game for the first time. He finally had a chance to show off to someone!

However, to Yu Xi’s dismay, Jian Yujie’s performance in the game made it seem like he wasn’t playing for the first time. In fact, it didn’t even seem like he was new to the game!

Even though he wasn’t as good as Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling, he was still much better than Yu Xi.

This made Yu Xi incredibly depressed. He yelled at Jian Yujie through voice chat: “Jian Yujie! You’re a liar! You said that you’ve never played this game before! That’s definitely a lie! You’re an evil person!”

“Wait, but it is my first time playing the game,” Jian Yujie responded. He hadn’t lied to Yu Xi.

“No way. That’s impossible. How can you play like that if it’s your first time?”

Yu Xi was willing to admit that God Ling was talented. But how could this brat be so talented as well?

No, he wouldn’t admit it! He definitely wouldn’t admit to this!

“No? I don’t think I’m good at the game. Average at best.” Jian Yujie replied. He thought his skills were rather average. He wasn’t even as good at the game as his sister was. He still had a lot of room for improvement.

Jian Yujie’s hands were quite nimble. Although he had only learned a few magic tricks, his nimble fingers had helped him a lot.

This also gave him a natural advantage when it came to playing computer games.

Jian Yujie’s comment hit Yu Xi in the gut.

Yu Xi wanted to cry. He couldn’t be better than Master Sheng and God Ling in the game already... And now... He couldn’t even be better than Jian Yujie who was new at the game? Did they still want him to live?

However, it didn’t take long for Yu Xi to clear his thoughts.

Well, either way, he was going to get carried.

If there was going to be three people carrying him in the game, wouldn’t that be better?

Jian Yujie was talented at the game. He could get Challenger quite easily! This meant that it was possible that they could also get top 100 in the ‘Zerg Invasion’ tournament!

After Yu Xi confirmed the members of the team, it was time to sign up.

All of this was taken care of by Yu Xi.

However, Yu Xi struggled to think of a team name.

What would be a good name?

He wanted an aggressive and assertive name! Something that reflected their team’s identity as well!

Yu Xi suddenly had a flash of insight. Following which, he typed in: Sheng Qi Ling Ren means is Domination in Chinese. It is a pun on Zhai Yunsheng’s “Sheng” and Jian Yiling’s “Ling.”Domination[1].

This name sounded quite assertive!

Furthermore, the name was related to the two gaming gods in their team! Master Sheng and God Ling!

Yu Xi glanced at the name again. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was!

He was a genius! No one else could have thought of this!

However, that night, it was quite awkward when the rest of them logged on and saw the name of their team.

Sure enough, the team name was the same style as Yu Xi’s in-game name.

Hm... What could they say...

Jian Yujie was the first to speak up. He was particularly unhappy with the team name and asked for it to be changed.

[This name is no good. It’s not good at all. In fact, it’s terrible.]

Sheng was from Zhai Yunsheng and Ling was from Yiling. Why did Yu Xi put his sister’s name and Zhai Yunsheng’s name together?

Jian Yujie expressed his objection to such a team name.

Yu Xi tried to explain the reasoning behind the name to Jian Yujie: [Yujie, you don’t understand. We’re being carried. We need to understand that. Our team is relying on Master Sheng and God Ling right? Then what’s wrong with putting parts of their name in the team name? Don’t be jealous. If you can carry me someday, I promise I will include your name as well in the team name!]

Following this, Zhai Yunsheng also sent a message into the team channel: [I think this is a good name.]

Yu Xi was incredibly pleased when he read this: [See Yujie? Master Sheng likes the name as well! It’s two against one.]

Jian Yujie quickly called out to Jian Yiling. He had to make her say something about this name: [Yiling, what do you think?]

[1] Sheng Qi Ling Ren means is Domination in Chinese. It is a pun on Zhai Yunsheng’s ‘Sheng’ and Jian Yiling’s ‘Ling’.
