Chapter 791: Chapter 471 Uesugi is Actually a Gaming Expert_2

"Scumbag, bad guy, wants everything, so ends up with nothing."

"Is it that short?"

"Yeah, the review is that short. Sakura, don’t learn from him."

"Me? I only love you."

"Sakura, that’s too cheesy." Hanamaru Hanabi paused from eating her croquette and muttered softly.

"This isn’t cheesy, it’s sincerity."

"Sincerity is also cheesy!"

"Hanabi-chan... Hanabi-chan no longer loves me... Sakura is so hurt..." Uesugi Sakura pretended to look distressed for her to see.

"Still love you though." Hanamaru Hanabi looked at him and smiled warmly.

"How much?"

"-5"

——————

November 10th, Monday, the weather has turned cooler.

Even though the sun is still shining brightly without signs of fading, the air has cooled down, leaving everyone puzzled.

Getting dressed in the morning, Uesugi Sakura suddenly remembered the special treatment he used to receive every morning.

Hanabi-chan would stand beside him, gently smoothing his clothes with her hands, and then straighten the creased collar.

Even though it was just an ordinary daily detail, Uesugi Sakura stared at himself in the mirror for quite a while.

He raised his hand and glanced at the silver watch on his wrist.

Every time he sees it, he can imagine Hanamaru Hanabi squatting beside him, joyfully buying it with her first salary to give to him as a gift.

Her smile is the thing he needs to guard the most in his life.

Uesugi Sakura smiled at his reflection in the mirror, ready to welcome each day because the life of going to school together with Hanabi is just beginning.

...

His passion was overflowing, yet as soon as Uesugi Sakura stepped into the drawing class at Tokyo Art University, it instantly wilted.

Structuring large figures, establishing the black, white, and gray relationships, separating front and side views, emphasizing boundary lines... Attempting these actions on a blank sheet of paper hundreds or thousands of times.

Looking up to observe the model still life, bending down to scrutinize the lines, these two actions were repeated endlessly.

If there were places he really couldn’t understand, he had to ask the artistic big shot Hanabi-chan beside him for help.

He asked her countless times how to draw this, how to give it feeling.

She didn’t feel annoyed, but even Uesugi Sakura felt he was being a bother.

He seemed to realize his Intelligence wasn’t useful in drawing, or perhaps drawing itself is a process of technical accumulation?

At noon, in the art student research room bought by Kitagawa Sakisa, Uesugi Sakura sat on the sofa, looked at his hands covered in graphite, and fell into a state of enlightenment.

"About to achieve enlightenment?" Kitagawa Sakisa, playing PS5 beside him, glanced at him.

"No, I feel like I’m about to ascend to immortality... I’ll go wash my hands first." Uesugi Sakura went to the small kitchen, washed his hands, and resumed his seat.

"Relax," Kitagawa Sakisa was intensely engaged in her shooting game, fully focused on the 100-inch large television in front of her, "I was in the same state before I studied art, practicing every day, not knowing what I was achieving, it was very frustrating, drove me almost bald."

"How did you overcome it?"

"Hanabi-chan," Kitagawa Sakisa said while pulling the trigger on her controller to quickly shoot at the enemies in the game, "With her guidance, I gradually learned. Teachers were too busy, had too many students to take care of, so I had Hanabi-chan teach me."

"What about Kyujuu Rika and Ayaka Rie?"

"Them, Rika is studying hard, Rie is still struggling with exams, she’s in seclusion training, that’s why you haven’t seen her these few days."

Kitagawa Sakisa suddenly gaped at the TV screen and angrily exclaimed,

"That guy! Must be cheating! Can snipe me from so far away."

Uesugi Sakura glanced at the TV, and while he was a gaming novice, he knew that on the PS5, unlike the PC platform, there weren’t cheats.

"Watch me take care of him!" Kitagawa Sakisa regrouped and bravely led her character out of the trench into the fierce battlefield.

Unfortunately, halfway through her advance, she was taken out by a sniper once again.

[Elimination info id: Ren Wo Xia]

"It’s that guy again! No way, I have to deal with him!"

Kitagawa Sakisa refused to give up, even crossing her legs on the sofa, throwing herself into the game with full concentration.

Once, twice, three times, five times...

All fell at the hands of that guy.

So infuriated, she almost smashed the controller to pieces.

"Huff... Huff... I’m so angry!!"

Uesugi Sakura, calmly reached out his hand, "Getting angry over a game? Hand me the controller, I’ll teach him a lesson."

"Here! Avenge me, take him down!" Kitagawa Sakisa, not caring whether Uesugi Sakura was reliable, straightforwardly handed him the controller.

Uesugi Sakura switched to the most powerful scoped rifle and charged ahead.

"Hey, hey, hey! Be careful, don’t die as soon as you come out... ah..."

With a bang, an enemy that appeared on the screen for not even a second got taken down by Uesugi Sakura with a bolt-action rifle.

"So amazing?" Kitagawa Sakisa was startled by his swift reaction.

Hastily manipulating the controller, Uesugi Sakura pulled his character back into the trench, reloading a bullet.

He took two steps forward and encountered an assault soldier wielding a submachine gun at the corner.

The opponent didn’t hesitate and fired immediately, but Uesugi Sakura took a step ahead, aiming straight at his head.

Bang!

The enemy fell to the ground once more.

"???"

Not only did Kitagawa Sakisa have her head full of question marks.

The player sitting at home on the opposite side of the screen was dumbfounded gripping the controller.

This guy responds so quickly? And accurately? Just happens to get a headshot?

Right, it must be luck.

...

"Where is the guy who killed you?" During the advance, Uesugi Sakura casually took care of two more small fry.

"Their camp, that guy is a sniper." Kitagawa Sakisa was getting excited watching, discovering that Uesugi seemed to hit everything, never missing a shot.

"A sniper, huh."

Uesugi Sakura manipulated the character to look up, the opponent seemed to be in a fortress.

A medic by his side was about to go rescue the wounded but got headshot by the other guy, the body rolling down next to Uesugi Sakura.

Kitagawa Sakisa shook her head, "Oh~ poor medic."

Uesugi Sakura probed for a while, finding out the sniper’s position, on the other side, also aiming at this area.

If they exposed their heads now, spotting each other at the same time, it would come down to who had faster reflexes.

"Watch me take him head on."

Without hesitation, Uesugi Sakura made his character crouch on a small rock post, then stood up and aimed at the guy in the fortress with the ID Ren Wo Xia.

The opponent also spotted him instantly.

Ren Wo Xia was an experienced gamer, seeing the ID he had taken down several times in front of him, he didn’t hesitate, adjusted his aim, targeting the other’s head.

Just when he was rotating his aim at a speed even pros would envy, the screen suddenly went black, a line of words appeared above:

[You have died]

[Elimination info id: Miss Kitagawa]

"Impossible!!"

The player controlling "Ren Wo Xia" couldn’t sit still, he stood up angrily in his 10-square-meter home, crashing into his shelf.

Thud...

"Hiss~"

Wincing from pain, clutching his back head with one hand and gripping the controller with the other, he sat back down in his cramped space, looked at his character respawning on the screen, and calmed himself down to continue returning to the fortress.

Abandoned everything!

Squeezed in this mere 10-square-meter home!

Just for gaming, how could he lose to someone he defeated before!

Ren Wo Xia regained his composure, holding the bolt-action rifle, got back up at the firing window of the fortress, scanned the battlefield, identifying his target "Miss Kitagawa", he immediately used his unparalleled experience to move his crosshairs.

Bang!

Yet, as the gunshot rang out, he merely sat stunned at the darkened screen and his character toppled from a headshot.

Why?

He didn’t believe it, challenged repeatedly.

Alas... the result remained unchanged.

Once, twice, thrice... four times, ten times, twenty times...

All were dominated by "Miss Kitagawa."

"Why... Why... Why..."

The real Ren Wo Xia stared blankly at the TV screen, spectacles reflecting the darkened image again, muttering one bewildered question after another at the corner of his mouth.

"Hooray! Avenge me!!!" On the other side, Kitagawa Sakisa was overjoyed.

Uesugi Sakura smiled, pushing up his glasses with a finger, "Not too bad."

Just as Kyujuu Rika finished cooking with Hanamaru Hanabi, she called out to the gaming duo on the sofa, "You two, dinner is ready!"
