Evelyn Clayton vaguely felt that Keith Donovan was usually quite reserved around people, so he could only truly let loose in private. Otherwise, who would have guessed from his deanor at the party that he had transford the basent into a high-class gaming cafe?
"I’ve updated all the equipnt to the latest and greatest. It was just installed this afternoon. Anyone want to join for the first ga?"
Everyone except Evelyn Clayton and Jas Grant raised their hands.
Keith Donovan picked out two people: "Let’s play the duo battle mode. I’ll team up with Jas Grant."
The two imdiately groaned: "You and Jas Grant as a team? Is there any chance left for us? This isn’t fair!"
"Isn’t Jas Grant’s girlfriend here today? We’ve got to give Jas Grant so respect. You’ll get your chance next ti."
"Get out of here!"
Jas Grant had Evelyn Clayton sit next to him, and the people around them imdiately started teasing.
"Co on, give a lucky kiss to start the buff." Jas Grant pointed at his face, raising his eyebrows at Evelyn Clayton.
She finally understood that Jas Grant just enjoyed being teased like this.
This cheeky man!
"Ha ha, alright." Evelyn Clayton intentionally gave him a hard peck and smiled through her teeth, "You better win, or else you’re in trouble!"
Shawn Donovan rubbed his arms covered in goosebumps: "Alright, you two enough already. Will soone think about us single folks!"
The ga started, and Jas Grant and Keith Donovan instantly got into the zone.
One mont they were joking around, the next they were serious, eyes fixed on the screen.
The ga they were playing was the most popular e-sports ga on the market, though the version was more advanced.
Jas Grant’s control was smooth as silk, perfectly in sync with Keith Donovan.
Jas Grant was the main striker, Keith Donovan provided support, nearly pushing the opponents to a corner.
They advanced into the dungeon and faced off against the final boss. Keith Donovan’s character entered a skill cooldown.
He looked a bit anxious and turned to Jas Grant.
"Are you okay?"
"I’m okay."
Just as he finished speaking, Jas Grant pulled off a stunning reversal, slashing through and instantly defeating the boss, dropping its health bar to zero.
"Oh my god! Did you all see that? That was so god-level gaplay!"
"I couldn’t even see clearly, and the ga was over."
"Jas Grant, do it again!"
Jas Grant dropped the mouse and laughed: "The boss is dead, how can I do it again."
Then he turned to Evelyn Clayton and asked: "How about it? Did you get it?"
"I wouldn’t understand it if I were a fool." Evelyn Clayton was unsatisfied with Jas Grant’s underestimation.
"Ahem." Jas Grant lightly coughed to remind her there were many people around.
Reluctantly, Evelyn Clayton changed her tone and put on a fake smile: "That was amazing! I’m so impressed!"
Seeing her unwillingness, Jas Grant handed the ga controller towards her.
"Why don’t you give it a try?"
"Hmm?"
Evelyn Clayton thought he was joking.
But Jas Grant had already stood up from his seat, beckoning her over: "Co here."
"Oh."
Evelyn Clayton went over and sat down.
"Which one do you want to play? How about this one Keith and I just played, okay?"
"Sure."
The starting level can be set to [Easy], [dium], [Hard].
Jas Grant, understanding Evelyn Clayton doesn’t play e-sports, wanted to choose the easy mode.
But Evelyn Clayton said: "No need to change it. Whatever mode you guys played earlier, we’ll play it too."
"We played on Hard earlier, it’s not very friendly to newcors." Jas Grant patiently explained, "It’s your first ti playing, there’s no need to choose the hardest one."
"Eldest Young Master Grant feeling pity?" Shawn Donovan teased, "If Evelyn wants to play, let her play. Isn’t there you to guide her?"
"Alright. Hard it is then."
Many people were waiting to see a joke, knowing Jas Grant could take won drinking, singing karaoke, dining, traveling, but he never played gas with them. Evelyn Clayton broke new ground.
They knew Jas Grant was impatient, so they were especially keen to see how long he would last before getting frustrated.
Shawn Donovan even started a betting pool in the group chat—
Place your bets, and let’s see how long before Jas Grant starts cursing. Ten minutes, half an hour, or an hour.
