Edith, still on the line, thought to herself. ‘Every call ends with her crushing an earpiece. Did she think burning them would make them disappear? When she was being frugal, she’d even try to save a few bucks on cab fare.
‘Now, she crushes a 100 thousand dollars earpiece like it’s nothing. Spendthrift! If anyone ever called Quiana frugal again. I would gouge out their eyes.
Quiana showed no remorse, crushing the earpiece into tiny pieces and tossing them into the trash. Her eyes flashed with cold anger for a moment. Seeing she still had time, she took out her phone and opened the game.
She usually played when her mood was bad. When her mood was particularly bad, she cooked. And watched others eat
Outside the dressing room, the performance had already started. The stage was loud, and fans were screaming in the background. Julius was growing impatient, his exposed eyes icy. “What is Quiana’s number?”
Alina replied, “I don’t know.”
“I know.” Zack, who had sneaked backstage to ask, returned. ‘She’s the eighth.”
That was the third–to–last performer. With seven teams ahead, each taking about five to six minutes, it would be at least an hour. But they couldn’t leave. Julius simply put in earplugs to block out the noise.
Shane managed to sit patiently. Alina, watching the performances, was anxious, worried that Quiana might not perform well and embarrass herself on stage.
was usually energetic. With Quiana not appearing and not found backstage, he found it quite boring. Seeing that everyone around him was screaming and paying no attention, he reached into his pocket for his phone.
They had indeed handed over their phones when they entered, but they weren’t limited to just one. For them, getting electronic devices past security was a minor issue.
Zack turned the brightness down to the minimum, hunched over, and opened the game. Quiana entered the training camp. but Nolan found him too weak and wouldn’t team up with him.
Despite his large addiction, he played for days and dropped from War God. It was the end of the season, and he still wanted to climb back up.
“Damn!” Looking at his friend list to find someone to carry him, Zack suddenly noticed that Wolf Fang was online and in a game. The match had been running for two minutes.
Zack thought, ‘Shouldn’t she be in the waiting area right now? How could she still be playing a game? Without thinking, he clicked to spectate. The top–left corner showed 17 people watching.
Quiana’s game character was male. She wasn’t wearing the clothes Zack had gifted her last time; instead, she was dressed in the default system outfit–a plain white T–shirt, black pants, and white sneakers. With a spiky hairstyle, she looked like a bot
She was playing in Pochinki, equipped with an M416. Climbing walls, jumping through windows, shooting, and switching perspectives–all her movements were fluid and mesmerizing.
Before Zack could even react, Quiana had taken down one opponent after another, sweeping through the map with ruthless efficiency. This is insanel‘ Zack thought, his eyes wide with amazement. This was the first time he had watched Quiana play
a game.
Quiana lived up to her reputation–tough in reality and even tougher in the game. This is insane! Zack thought. He shuddered involuntarily.

Julius, noticing Zack’s intense focus, raised an eyebrow and frowned. He reached over and snatched the phone away. Zack, who was thoroughly engrossed, was left speechless,
Quiana didn’t even break a sweat, securing a dominant victory with 38 kills. Without pausing, she started the next round, still in Pochinki, and continued to play with the same ferocity. The screen radiated a palpable sense of menace..
Zack couldn’t help but feel uneasy. “Quiana is playing this game so aggressively
