Chapter 172 Stop teaching bad things to children

Shi Heng naturally accepted it and said directly to Jiang Sui, "This game is wildly popular, with a massive nationwide audience. Program sponsors are practically breaking their doors down to get in. The format involves several celebrities teaming up with esports clubs to compete, which is why it's called the All-Star Tournament. Quite a few celebrities want to use this as an opportunity to build a gaming expert persona, and they're all eager to participate.

Initially, the production crew thought you might be completely clueless about gaming and worried you might get flamed for failing to generate good show effects, so they didn't consider you."

As he spoke, Shi Heng sat down next to Jiang Sui, while Miaomiao rested her chin in her hands, listening with curiosity.

"However, the captain of the Against the Wind team specifically requested you to participate. Against the Wind is one of the ace teams of Glory of Heroes and holds a lot of weight on its own. So the production crew sent out an invitation right away."

"Against the Wind?" Jiang Sui muttered with a trace of doubt. The name of this team sounded somewhat familiar.

Miaomiao handed Jiang Sui a glass of freshly squeezed juice. Hearing Shi Heng's words, she immediately chimed in, "Oh, is that the team whose name is plastered all over the Glory of Heroes game interface every single day?"

Jiang Sui glanced at Miaomiao in surprise. "You play games too?"

Miaomiao curled her hands into shy little fists and pressed them against her small face. "Brother Shi Heng taught me. He said playing games teaches you how to curse people, so if I see anyone cursing Sister Suisui in the future, I can curse them right back."

Jiang Sui cast a sideways glance at Shi Heng.

Shi Heng immediately looked up at the ceiling.

"Stop corrupting a child with bad habits," Jiang Sui said coolly.

Shi Heng cleared his throat. "She's not that young anymore, she's a pretty big kid. Besides, I just let her learn independently through practice."

Miaomiao nodded in agreement. "Brother Shi Heng always lets me do the cursing myself. If I can't win the argument in the game, I add them as friends and chase after them to curse them out."

Shi Heng: "..." Damn it, that's not how you throw your teammate under the bus, Miaomiao!

The corners of Jiang Sui's mouth twitched. "What did you say to curse them?"

Miaomiao cleared her throat: "You curse at me, I'm not scared, I'll go to Beijing to find my dad, my dad has a giant loudspeaker, and he'll blow a big fat turd right in your face!"

"Your mom's head, like a rubber ball, kick it all the way to the department store, the department store sells rubber balls, what they're selling is your mom's head!"

"Today your family drinks thin rice gruel, drink the thin rice gruel and go to the outhouse, feel in your pocket and there's no paper, feel on your bottom and you've got two piles of poop!"

"Excuse me, give a salute, let out a fart, scare you to death!"

...

Shi Heng: "Stop, stop, stop!!!" He was losing his composure. "Miaomiao, is that how you curse people?"

Miaomiao thought Shi Heng was praising her, so she said excitedly, "Yeah! Isn't it super impressive?"

Shi Heng's mouth twitched. Could it be that she actually thought he was praising her?

Jiang Sui was holding back her laughter so hard she felt like she was suffering internal injuries.

She originally thought she'd get a fierce, edgy cyber cat.

Instead, she ended up with a nursery-rhyme-singing baby bus cat.

Suppressing her amusement, she said, "Well, it's quite something."

Miaomiao proudly lifted her chin and snorted at Shi Heng.

Then she squatted down beside Jiang Sui, rubbing her little head against Jiang Sui's thigh with a thoroughly obedient and adorable smile.

Knowing this was a cat's habit, Jiang Sui rewarded her by patting her head.

Miaomiao's little face bloomed with an even more satisfied smile.

Shi Heng: "..."

Wait, why did he feel like the way these two interacted was a bit strange?

Could it be...

Was Jiang Sui actually into girls?!

"By the way, what's the name of the captain of the Against the Wind team?" Jiang Sui asked, returning to the previous topic.

Shi Heng snapped back to reality. "Oh, their captain is the second young master of the Shen family, Shen Li. Do you know him?"

Jiang Sui: "...I know him. We're actually pretty close."

So he refused when she asked him to play games with her, only to use this public-funded excuse to make her accompany him in playing games here?

No wonder she found the team name so familiar.

"No wonder, I thought so. Since the Against the Wind team specifically named you, you'll probably end up in the same group with them. Anyway, your schedule has already been arranged. If you really can't play this game, forget about it. Just treat it as a fresh beginner rookie brought along for show effects."

Jiang Sui raised an eyebrow. "Fine, whatever."

She didn't really care for participating in shows like this. Back when she was a professional player, she was forced to play matches every day and only retired after winning ten consecutive championships.

She had no passion for gaming; it was purely about fulfilling assigned tasks under duress.

It had left her too lazy to even play games for entertainment nowadays.

Still, that burnout period had probably passed by now, and she wouldn't feel like vomiting just at the sight of a game anymore.
