Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Could it be that after spending the past year together, I still haven't seen through Lin Xuan's true nature? Is this guy just a little lenient when it comes to gender?

Chapter 516: Is there another match?

When Zhong Ming saw the look Lin Xuan was giving him, he silently took two steps back and looked at him warily, leaving Lin Xuan completely confused.

What's wrong with this guy? I just wanted to get him to play a few more games these next few days.

After all, I've never actually fought against Zhong Mingyi's Slowking before. Now that I'm here, I'm finally seeing its full power. I can also have a battle with Xiao Dian later to test my strength.

The only true test of strength is whether or not the player who defeats Xiao Zhong is the "Dumb King"!

"What do you want to do?"

After seeing Lin Xuan's fiery gaze soften slightly, Zhong Mingyi finally spoke and asked.

"It's nothing, I was just wondering when the next match will be."

Zhong Mingyi was somewhat helpless. Could this kind of thing really be addictive?

However, he didn't rule it out. Fighting Lin Xuan would also have many benefits for him. It's not easy to find a sparring partner with Lin Xuan's strength outside.

Just remember to stream next time!

Is there more? I haven't had enough!

[Could we have another match played?]

"That's all, that's all. Okay, today's live stream was pretty much a waste of time... It's over, see you next time!"

Lin Xuan spoke too quickly and almost blurted out what was on her mind, but thankfully she swallowed it back in time and changed her words.

But it was too late; it was eventually heard.

【? ? ? 】

That's it?

Is Mimikyu-sensei's stamina getting worse?

It seems that Mimikyu needs an endurance trait.

[You just used boiling water, right?]

[Wouldn't it be a little unreasonable to not stream for more than a few hours?]

Lin Xuan simply ignored the comments asking her to do more broadcasts. Working overtime was out of the question; nothing beats lying in bed watching TV and playing games.

I finally got back and now I'm just going to slack off again, and you want me to work overtime? What was the point of me coming back?

Then Lin Xuan once again demonstrated her super-duty off-duty king skills.

"See you next time, everyone! Bye-bye!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xuan pressed the end-of-broadcast button with considerable skill. In the past, when Lin Xuan said these words, she would at least put on a professional smile, but now she was too lazy to even put on that professional smile.

Even Zhong Mingyi, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore.

"You're getting lazier and lazier!"

"There's no way around it, I have just too much to do."

Upon hearing Lin Xuan say those words, Zhong Mingyi finally couldn't hold back anymore.

You have a lot of things to do? You think you have a lot of trivial matters to deal with? Can they be as many as mine?

Don't be fooled by the fact that Zhong Mingyi can still chat with Lin Xuan here; it's all thanks to his current habits.

I basically work like crazy for a few days each week, and then slack off for the remaining two days, but even so, sometimes I still can't finish all my tasks.

So much so that now Zhong Mingyi sometimes really wants to storm into the Alliance headquarters, stand in front of Qin Guan, throw out his appointment letter as the head of the Jianghai City Dojo, and shout – I quit!

Of course, Zhong Mingyi only fantasized about this in his mind, so seeing Lin Xuan's current expression made him want to hit him even more.

Lin Xuan glanced at Zhong Mingyi and thought about it carefully. It seemed to be true. If we're talking about who's in the worst situation... Zhong Mingyi is at the bottom of the list!

Everything is relative. Lin Xuan initially felt that Qin Guan had given her too much to do, but after glancing at Zhong Mingyi, she felt relieved.

Forget it, let's not dwell on it. There's someone even worse off over there!

"Haa~ I'm done playing, time to go back to sleep~"

The person who said this was not Lin Xuan, but Bai Yao, who had been watching the show from the sidelines since the beginning, which made Zhong Mingyi's lips twitch involuntarily.

Is this "giving up" virus going to spread along with Lin Xuan? I hope I won't get infected too.

But seeing that Bai Yao wanted to leave, Zhong Mingyi finally spoke up.

"Don't leave yet, there's something else I need to tell you."

Upon hearing Zhong Mingyi's words, Bai Yao finally stopped in her tracks, then looked up and pointed to herself, seemingly somewhat incredulous.

"And my share?"

"Well, you've been away for a while, so you might not be aware of the situation. That's why the alliance sent me to inform you."

Lin Xuan and Bai Yao exchanged a glance. The fact that Zhong Mingyi had come to inform them personally—even though it was somewhat incidental—should be considered a very important matter no matter how you look at it.

"what's up?"

Lin Xuan's expression became slightly more serious, and he dropped his previous nonchalant attitude.

"Hmm...you must have watched some of the tournaments from various countries recently, right?"

Although Lin Xuan was puzzled, she still nodded.

"I watched it, and I even provided commentary for some of the matches. What's wrong?"

"It seems to be something that the alliance headquarters and national alliances have agreed on... A world championship will be held in a while - but it will not be an individual competition, but a competition based on national teams."

Zhong Mingyi said quietly, and Lin Xuan was stunned after hearing this.

This kind of competition... I don't think we've ever had one before!

Before this, the strength of trainers from different countries could only be seen from their respective tournament competitors, which was a way to compare them, but without actually fighting each other, no one knew how they really were.

"so……"

"This news hasn't been made public yet, but the league is already making preparations. Each country's team will most likely have four players plus four substitutes. You're definitely going to get one of those spots, and as for Yao Ming... we can try to get him too."

"Hey, is there any left for me?"

Bai Yao stared wide-eyed as she spoke, and then received a powerful blow to the back of her head from Lin Xuan.

"Can't you have even a little confidence in yourself? You're the runner-up in the tournament, second only to me!"

"Forget about it. Don't forget how you won your championship."

Bai Yao rolled her eyes, and it seemed that this sentence reminded Zhong Mingyi, which is why she reminded him.

"I almost forgot, it was also because of your actions in winning the championship... In fact, there were some dissenting voices within the league regarding your direct inclusion in the national team; it seems that some people were not convinced."

Although Zhong Mingyi knew Lin Xuan's strength, it didn't mean everyone did, and besides, Lin Xuan's championship victory that time was indeed somewhat...

"So if possible, you should participate in the national team selection competition two months from now, so that these voices can be silenced."

Lin Xuan nodded. If there were no problems, that would be the best outcome, as he didn't like being gossiped about.

The best approach is to prove someone wrong with sheer strength. Bai Yao, still somewhat dazed from the blow to the head, finally reacted and pointed directly at Lin Xuan, questioning him:

"So why did you hit me just now?"

"Have it?"

"You dare say you didn't?!"

"I was awakening your intelligence back then. Do you feel that you are a little smarter than before?"

"Hmm, it seems like a little bit."

"Then that's it. I won't hold it against you since you didn't thank me, but why... a gentleman uses words but not actions, so you shouldn't use your mouth at all!"

Seeing Bai Yao about to pounce, Lin Xuan ran straight back to her room. As for Yi Bu... she'd let him clean up the place before she could go back!

Ibrahimovic looked at the mess and felt like crying, but since it was his own doing, he had no choice but to clean it up himself.

However, after scanning the yard, Ibrahimovic still couldn't find what he was looking for.

Where did the rat and Gallade go? At least help me with some chores! Don't all run away!

All I can say is that both the rat and Gallade were very prescient.

Xiaoxi and Xiaomi left immediately after the battle, while Gallade used Teleport the moment Eevee looked over.

There was no way around it; he knew Ibrahimovic so well that he knew what the guy was going to do even before Ibrahimovic's eyes had landed on him.

Although Gallade did take care of a lot of cleaning work in the villa, it was obviously impossible for him to clean this place! Eevee had to deal with the mess he made himself.

So in the end, Ibu could only stand there by himself, pouting, and then silently begin to tidy up, thinking to himself—

I'm definitely going to sneak a bunch of snacks from that kid later! They all run away so fast!

Before he could argue with Bai Yao for long, Zhong Mingyi went back to the dojo, seemingly because something had happened... Lin Xuan could only silently mourn for the unlucky guy in his heart.

At the same time, he began to think about what Zhong Mingyi had just said.

I only heard Zhong Ming mention the World Championships a couple of times just now, and that's about it.
