Chapter 586: Chapter 178: Jealousy in the Shadows

Wu Qingqing was a bit angry, "Hey, we are in a cooperative relationship, it’s not fair for you to steal my prey."

Straightforward people who aren’t willing to put up with grievances will say what’s on their mind, not wanting to save face at all.

Suo Meiya’s dark eyes were full of resentment, "I didn’t steal. Since we’re in a cooperative relationship, you shouldn’t care about those Insect Men. Your score is already two hundred, and I’m only at fifty. It’s not fair."

Wu Qingqing thought her logic was flawed. True, it’s a cooperation, but their abilities are not the same.

Over thirty minutes of the competition had passed, and it was mostly Wu Qingqing helping her. Suo Meiya kept asking her for cover, and Wu Qingqing covered for her again and again, not only without getting a word of thanks but also being blamed for not sharing results.

The difference in abilities and perspectives showed they should not have partnered up.

Wu Qingqing initially thought that being roommates, and since they got along peacefully on a daily basis, supporting each other was no big deal.

This competition isn’t just about individual ability.

As a result, Wu Qingqing suspected that Suo Meiya made it to the top ten thousand partly due to luck, not entirely on ability.

Wu Qingqing’s guess was correct; Suo Meiya’s ability was not even on par with Xing Miao.

By a stroke of luck, during the first round of the competition, Suo Meiya only lost four matches, and on the last day before dawn, faced five not-so-strong opponents, propelling her into the second round.

The second round was even more intense, but luck is a mysterious thing. Li Leilei and Feng Wansha pushed through the more brutal late-stage training.

Suo Meiya didn’t match against very strong opponents, so she stood on this stage.

In terms of ability, she couldn’t compare to her twin sister.

Finding herself in the finals by luck was already the limit of her ability; one stroke of luck doesn’t mean prosperity.

There’s no absolute in fortune and misfortune.

But cooperation with Suo Meiya was definitely a misfortune for Wu Qingqing.

If it had been the Vegetable Farmers, each taking turns to grab scores, Wu Qingqing wouldn’t be upset at all.

Suo Meiya was just a temporary roommate, constantly trying to sell them on her Soma God.

Without much affection, she seemed to demand things be done her way, or else it was unfair, her stance showing.

This irked Wu Qingqing, so she straightforwardly said, "Cooperation ends here. I’m going somewhere else, you can continue on your own."

This time Suo Meiya got angry, "You didn’t mention ending the cooperation at the start. I already found someone to cooperate with, and now you’re saying it’s over? You’re abandoning halfway."

"Abandoning halfway is better than letting you take advantage of me." Wu Qingqing sneered, "I admit I made a mistake at the start. It’s all my fault for not seeing through your stupidity."

It’s laughable, as the live broadcast synchronizes the audio and visuals of the broadcast target. If both Suo Meiya and Wu Qingqing’s live rooms were opened, you could hear their conversation.

Someone nearly died laughing at Wu Qingqing, so they quickly edited and released this conversation and video at the fastest speed.

The Vegetable Farmers came with their own traffic, and in less than five minutes after the video’s release, it went viral.

"Hahaha, I have to tag my friends to watch."

"Suo Meiya: Sabotage teammates, and then have them willingly throw for you. That’s just the normal operation procedure. Wu Qingqing: Bullshit, I’m not playing along."

"Walk the enemy’s path, leave your teammates with no way to proceed."

"Teaming up with Suo Meiya is just slowing herself down. With her remote sniping skills so good, why bring along a burdensome partner?"

"Wu Qingqing’s words are sharp, but I love it. No need to be polite to idiots."

"Suo Meiya lacks self-awareness. Even after being helped so much, she’s still unsatisfied."

"Actually, you can’t think like that. Being in the middle of it, not seeing clearly is normal. Suo Meiya’s ranking is doomed not to make the top hundred. If she were rational and cooperated with Wu Qingqing, she could at least stabilize in the top thousands. Without Wu Qingqing, she’ll probably soon have to return to the mother ship to repair her Mecha. The time she wastes could have been spent scoring several points."

"Ultimately, Wu Qingqing and Suo Meiya aren’t on the same level, what’s the point of teaming up?"

As soon as Wu Qingqing said breakup, it was a breakup. She found that being alone was quite nice; the scores accumulated faster, and she didn’t have to worry about Suo Meiya.

A lesson learned, not to team up recklessly in the future.

She’s broad-minded and wasn’t too regretful about teaming up, just glad she discovered Suo Meiya’s issues.

If there’s any interaction in the future, she must be careful and vigilant.

Hundreds of Mecha Masters, along with support ships and weapon-carrying drones, cleared the swarm of Insect Men near the signal tower, making it sparse.

Suo Meiya quickly realized, as the barrage viewers speculated, that without Wu Qingqing’s assistance, her energy bar dropped rapidly. These were military-standard Mechas, incomparable to the Standard Black Wings.
