Chapter 586 That’s the Problem?
Elise understood what happened. She probably was going to go on a date with her boyfriend, but I called
her, so she said no. “Did I get in your way?” Elise quickly went over and pushed Mikayla and Miquella
closer together. “Go on your date. I don’t want to disturb you guys.”
Mikayla blushed. Miquella quickly took her away. “We’ll be going then. You guys have fun.”
They went to the door and disappeared a moment later.
Elise saw them off, feeling rueful. Mikayla says she’s a sucker for good looks. If the guy isn’t handsome
enough, she won’t even feel her heart flutter.
Miquella wasn’t as outstanding as Jack was, but he did resemble a popular star called Randy, and he
made a good boyfriend for Mikayla. She used to worry that her friend might get hurt because she only
cared about Jack, but now she realized that fate had other plans for her.
Miquella’s friends were amused that he left them behind. “Hoes before bros, huh?”
“What should we do? Are we still watching the competition?”
Elise looked inside. She didn’t think they would need that big of a place, so she asked Sheldon, “They’re
my friend’s friends. Why don’t you let them watch the match in the café while we reserve a room?”
“Suit yourself.” Sheldon went into the room. “It’s almost time. Stop fooling around.”
The boys put their hands in a prayer. “Thank you for your blessing, lady. Thank you, rich man.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElise said nothing. The three of them came into the biggest room. “Not a bad PC,” Elise praised not long
after she turned the PC on. “Sutherland Corporation’s CPU improved.”
I’ll get Arthur to send me two sets. Laptops are convenient, but PC’s are faster. If I used this baby back
when I was talking to the fake Joseph, I might have been able to lock in on his location.
Sheldon looked at her and teased, “Wow, you know your stuff.”
“Just a little,” Elise said humbly.
If Alexander was around, he would know what her ‘a little’ meant, but Sheldon thought of it as a joke. He
thought Elise only said that so she wouldn’t embarrass herself in front of them. What do girls know? They
probably think it’s a good computer just because the resolution is higher. But what she said next shocked
him.
“It’s the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon core. It has twenty thousand nodes, and hardware acceleration
only takes 0.6 seconds. It’s unparalleled for its rank, at least in the domestic market.”
Even Elliot craned his neck to look at her. “You’re from computer science, aren’t you?” He looked at the
reception. “No wonder he charged us a hundred an hour. It’s worth the price. I wanna ask him where I
can get this. If I can get a couple of them back to school, I don’t have to come out ever again.”
“You want to buy a PC?” Elise asked. “Then get it from my friend. He’s in this industry. He can give you a
discount.”
“Not the point. See this? It’s produced by Sutherland Corporation. It’s not sold anywhere else. Probably
only circulates internally. Most people can’t buy it,” Elliot said.
“And that’s where my friend comes in. He works at Sutherland Corporation,” Elise answered calmly. He’s
the boss, but he still works at the company. I’m not wrong.
Sheldon and Elliot’s eyes widened, and they looked at each other in silence. She’s bragging, isn’t she?
Elliot finally got into the game. “Time to f*ck you guys up.”
Elise was amused. She got to the login screen as well, and she was about to use her internal testing
account, but then she realized that might draw too much attention, so she deleted it. She asked Elliot,
“It’s my first time playing, so if I register right now, my rank might not match yours. Do you have any other
accounts I can use?”
Dead Battleground had a strict matching system. Only players on the same level could be matched
against each other. It was to prevent pros from being dragged down, and this system contributed to a fun
and balanced game.
She doesn’t have an account? Elliot gulped. That’s a national-level player over there. Taking a newbie
with us is just suicide in this case. “Elise, if we lose our points, it’s hard to gain it back. Those who can be
our teammates probably won’t let a newbie use their account. Why don’t you watch us play for now?
Once we’re done, we’ll use our alts to play with you,” Elliot said honestly, though it was harsh.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElise nodded in understanding. “I’ll ask my friend to lend me an account.”
Elliot was worried she might drag them down, but she was looking interested, so he said nothing.
Sheldon and I just have to be more careful then. We’re one teammate down.
Elise thought Alexander might have an account, so she called him. Saves time.
“Hey, honey,” Alexander called her lovingly.
Elise blushed. “H-Hey,” she whispered. “Um, do you have a Dead Battleground account? I need one to
team up with my friends, but my rank is not enough.”
“It’s been a while since I played, so I might not have that many skins,” Alexander answered.
“It’s fine. As long as I can team up with them. They’re national-level players. Is that okay?” she asked.
“Sure. I never played ranked matches, but my unranked points are quite high. I’ll send my account
details to you,” he said readily.
“Aren’t you asking if I’m playing with boys or girls?” she teased.
“Does that change the fact that you’re my wife?” he asked.
“No.” Elise laughed. “Talk to you later. It’s almost time.”
Not long after she hung up, Alexander sent her his account details, and Elise logged in. Then, an
exaggerated voice announced, “Welcome, Ionia’s national-level top player!”
Elise was shocked. Hey, you said you never played ranked matches. How come you’re the top player
then?
The moment the announcement was made, Elliot shot up from his seat and ran over to Elise. “Whoa,
that’s the number one player alright!”
