Song Fan completely ignored his message. She needed to maintain her focus before the competition. Xu Yuan, noticing the lack of response, questioned,
“Could it be that she didn’t see it?”
“I think she just doesn’t want to chat with you,” Xiao Lei teased.
Unwilling to accept this, Xu Yuan insisted, “She probably hasn’t seen it yet. She’ll reply later.”
Unfortunately, after waiting for a full five minutes, there was still no response. Instead, news arrived that Song Fan had started her match.
Xu Yuan sulked in front of his computer, his eyes glued to the screen to ensure he didn’t miss anything.
For her first match, Song Fan was pitted against a male player of equal skill level from E Country. His ID was Red White Rose.
It was rather serendipitous that both of them had flower-themed IDs, creating an interesting coincidence.
Song Fan still respected her opponent and politely greeted him. However, the other player didn’t share the sentiment and sent a voice message on the world channel.
Curious players quickly clicked to listen and heard his derisive laughter. “Even if you’ve achieved something in the past, it doesn’t mean a thing. Women have no place in competitive gaming. Go home, get married, and have children.”
Song Fan’s fingers paused on the keyboard, her expression growing serious.
The thing she despised most in life was people who underestimated women.
They didn’t just belittle her; they disrespected all women, including their mothers, sisters, and all the remarkable women worldwide.
Song Fan flexed her wrists. Initially, she had no intention of going all out in the first round, but now, she was determined to defeat her opponent soundly.
Red White Rose, noticing Song Fan’s prolonged silence, assumed he had intimidated her and laughed aloud. “It seems this Hua Country woman is truly timid. She doesn’t dare to respond.”
Other players couldn’t fathom why Sunflower remained silent. She possessed the skills to counter this individual’s remarks.
“Why isn’t Sunflower saying anything?”
“Red White Rose’s words are utterly distasteful. Isn’t anyone going to scold him?”
“He has blocked all forms of communication except the world channel. But if anyone insults him there, he’ll surely report it.”
“This is infuriating. Who is he to belittle women?”
“Half of the players in this game are female, and half of the world’s population is female. Is he challenging us?”
“Sunflower, speak up. Are you going to let him degrade you like this?”
Female players in the World Channel vented their anger. Xu Yuan observed and questioned, “Based on Song Fan’s personality, she wouldn’t tolerate this. Why isn’t she responding?”
Qi Shuo smiled and replied, “Because Song Fan doesn’t want to waste time arguing.”
Despite the commotion in the world chat, Song Fan remained undisturbed. As the countdown reached its end, she promptly entered battle mode, facing Red White Rose’s powerful attacks with composure.
Everyone in the game knew how swift and efficient Song Fan’s movements were, but in this match, she deliberately slowed her pace. She engaged Red White Rose in a back-and-forth, and anyone with a discerning eye could detect something was amiss.
However, Red White Rose’s disdain for women clouded his judgment. He believed his opponent’s gaming skills were lacking. He daydreamed about the glory he’d achieve after defeating Sunflower, the top-ranked player in the Hua Country server.
Yet, before he could savor his moment of triumph, Sunflower swiftly eliminated him. She executed several devastating moves in rapid succession, taking less than two seconds to complete the entire operation.
Although the match was best of three, and Red White Rose could still respawn, the tables had turned completely. To win, he needed to defeat Sunflower three more times, an uphill battle.
Red White Rose couldn’t believe his eyes. He hadn’t even had a chance to react.
During his respawn time, the World Channel erupted in cheers. Sunflower’s victory was more eloquent than any words. It was the ultimate rebuttal to Red White Rose’s earlier remarks.
“I knew Sunflower was the best!”
“Sunflower’s presence reminds us that a player’s strength is determined by skill, not gender.”
“Female players are also serious competitors; gender should not be grounds for mockery.”
“Bluesea: Congratulations on your victory”
Normally, these well-wishes would have been quickly drowned out in the
World Channel. However, an observant player noticed it and commented, “It’s Bluesea from Sunflower’s team. He never interacts with other players..”
