Chapter 1343 - 505: The Investment Finally Pays Off

Chapter 1343: Chapter 505: The Investment Finally Pays Off

After hearing about the pre-sleep rule set by Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu tonight,

many viewers who frequently play competitive games knew that these two probably wouldn’t log off anytime soon.

Many experienced viewers immediately ordered late-night snacks, and even sent bullet comments suggesting Qin Miao and the others order too; these two were likely to play until the early morning hours.

It was as if some mysterious entity in the universe heard Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu’s "win one game, then sleep!" and cast a favorable glance upon them.

In the first match after setting the sleep condition, they lost narrowly with a score of 14 to 16.

The second match: 11 to 16, lost again.

In the third match, Qin Miao was in great form, scoring 40 kills in 26 rounds, averaging 1.5 kills per game.

But ultimately, they still lost 10 to 16, as the teammates were utterly hopeless, not killing a single person throughout the game.

Actually, at that point, even if the opponents taunted a little, Qin Miao wouldn’t have minded, acknowledging that they played well, except for himself. After the game, Qin Miao stretched and thought maybe he should just call it a night, even if it meant logging off in disgrace.

Then, the opponent’s last player, who ended up being killed by Qin Miao with a score of 7 to 26, pompously typed "EZ" on the post-match screen.

To be honest, seeing the opponent type that at first, Qin Miao just felt helpless, as they indeed had the reason and right to do so.

But seeing the last-place player type that, Qin Miao felt his blood pressure surging.

His emotions were stirred up again, and alongside him, Zhou Guanyu was also irritated by the opponent.

"Damn it, let’s continue!"

At that moment, there were no more troublemakers in Qin Miao’s livestream chat, since it was already late into the night.

[Forget it, just rest up now]

[Don’t be stubborn, you can’t beat them]

[All the teammates you met tonight are a joke, just stop playing]

...

Despite the chat’s dissuasion, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu didn’t listen and continued playing.

In the fourth game, they lost again with a score of 16 to 19.

Refusing to accept defeat, they continued.

In the fifth game, which went into three overtimes, the score finally reached 28 to 26, barely avoiding another overtime.

They finally won a game.

This was mainly because the opponents were exhausted. By the match’s later stages, both their judgment and aiming skills had significantly deteriorated; otherwise, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu might not have won that game.

After the hard-won victory, neither Qin Miao nor Zhou Guanyu bothered to shut down their computers; they went back to their rooms and crashed into bed without even showering.

This left the viewers in Qin Miao’s stream spamming question marks in confusion.

Though they stayed up until past three in the morning, Qin Miao still got up in the morning due to his biological clock.

It wasn’t that Qin Miao wasn’t tired after waking up; it was mainly because he tossed and turned in bed unable to fall back asleep once awake.

Resigning to the situation, he got up and started exercising.

After spending three days together, Zhou Guanyu’s holiday time was also up.

Unlike Qin Miao, for Zhou Guanyu, holidays meant holidays, breaks meant breaks.

For regular F1 drivers like Zhou Guanyu, the winter break actually allows for limited rest time. After this period, they still have many commercial activities to attend.

However, before he left, Zhou Guanyu gave Qin Miao a spare key to his house, allowing him to stay as he pleased.

And Qin Miao remembered that there were quite a few things he needed to handle in Shanghai.

For instance, having a meal with the commentators from Five-Star Sports and meeting the leaders at Jiushi Sports.

The main purpose of meeting these people was for Qin Miao to familiarize himself more with Shanghai, network a bit, so in the future when there’s a competition here, they’ll more or less facilitate things for Qin Miao.

Meanwhile, the team from CCTV also reached out to Qin Miao today.

Originally, everything was arranged by Qimeng.

But after these few days of delay, Qin Miao had to adjust the order himself, first going for the interview with CCTV, then meeting the Five-Star Sports commentators, and finally the people at Jiushi Sports.

Qin Miao kept himself busy in Shanghai for three days, handling one thing per day.

Once everything was settled, it was already January 13, 2023, nearing the little new year.

After completing all these tasks, Qin Miao planned to return home to celebrate the lunar new year.

But just as Qin Miao was preparing to go to the airport, he received a call from Guo Fan.

Seeing the call from Old Guo, Qin Miao remembered that he had participated in a film shoot earlier this year.

Feeling a mix of excitement and anticipation, he answered the call and chatted for a while, receiving good news—the movie would be released during the 2023 Chinese New Year.

However, Guo Fan knew that Qin Miao needed to spend time with his family during the new year, leaving him little time to attend premieres or related events, so the call was to invite Qin Miao to Beijing for a limited release preview.

It would be shown selectively in a few places with cable access.

Seeing this, Qin Miao thought Old Guo had really thought things through!

And with some time left before the New Year,

Qin Miao readily agreed.

This time, however, Qin Miao learned his lesson and avoided booking a flight; instead, he recalled his flight crew, handed out back payments for half a month, and ended their vacation early.

Qin Miao personally flew over.

After landing, Qin Miao didn’t let Guo Fan send anyone to pick him up, since he didn’t take a commercial flight this time, but flew on his own plane.
