Chapter 341
Seeing the person coming, Jacob was surprised.
There was a lot of excitement in his eyes.
Because the person turned out to be Oneida, his niece!
Other contestants were also stunned.
Jake had brought a girl.
Was he out of his mind?
In this world, there were indeed many female players who were good at playing games.
In the professional e–sports field, 99% of those who could stand out as contestants were males.
Despite the presence of multiple female contestants, their number was exceedingly low.
Female contestants were either a gimmick for the team or regarded as a mascot. They wouldn’t even have a chance to play on the stage, or they would be defeated by male contestants easily.
The gap between men and women in e–sports was huge.
The emergency substitute now facing the contestants was a young woman.
What was Jake thinking about?
“Jake, is she… The one you were talking about?” Some contestant could not stand it and raised their doubts.
“What the hell? It’s a girl… How is it possible?”
“Aren’t there any male players? I don’t want to take girls with me in the competition!”
“Jake, what’s on your mind?”
Only Jacob pursed his lips and said nothing.
He just stared at Oneida with deep eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
“She is really great.” Jake glanced at Oneida beside him with great appreciation in his eyes and declared, “She not only sent us her game video but also demonstrated her skills on the spot just now. She’s amazing!”
Even if Jake said so, other contestants were still not convinced.
“No way. Don’t brag about it. What if she is even worse than Calvin?”
“Jake, if she’s so great, why haven’t I heard of her before? Typically, exceptional players are sought after and recruited to work as professionals. Is there a player of such caliber who has been overlooked?”
“Well, I think Jake must be too anxious, so he let her be the emergency substitute.”
Hearing this, Jake turned gloomy and he pretended to be discontented. “What are you talking about? You guys. You’ll know it later! Don’t be so arrogant before you see what she can really do
“Jake is right,” said Jacob suddenly. His voice was cold and serious.

Jacob looked at the crowd indifferently and said calmly, “Let her have a try,
Then Jacob gave Oneida a meaningful glance.
It was unprecedented for a female contestant to be on the professional stage.
But it was Oneida.
Jacob inexplicably had faith in Oneida’s gaming prowess.
Why?
Maybe it was because they had played mobile games together, and he found that Oneida was really skilled.
Jacob just didn’t know what Oneida could do with a computer game.
Since Jacob had said so, the other contestants just shut up.
Hearing Jacob’s words, Jake looked at Jacob with a smile and said “Jacob is surely discerning.”
“By the way,” Jake turned to look at Oneida and asked, “What’s your game ID? I have to report your ID quickly.”
Hearing this, Oneida lowered her eyes slightly.
She thought for a while and said to Jake, “Just call me Zero.”
Zero?” Jake repeated it and seemed to suddenly think of something. Then he said with great interest, “Speaking of which, do you know a super famous hacker whose name is also Zero?”
Oneida nodded expressionlessly.
Of course she did.
Because Oneida was the hacker Zero.
“What? Can’t I use that name?” Oneida tilted her head and asked with a half–smile.
“Of course, you can.” Jake laughed and said, “Wait here and get familiar with your teammates. I’ll sign up for you and bring
you a
uniform.”
So, only Oneida and four players were left in the training room.
“Why are you here?” Finally, Jacob stood up from the chair and frowned at Oneida. “Why didn’t you tell me that you would come here?”
Before Oneida could speak, other contestants immediately shouted, “No way. Do you know each other? Jacob, what’s your relationship with her?”
“So she’s an acquaintance of Jacob.”
Jacob felt that they were a little noisy, so he squinted at them coldly to signal them to shut up.
The contestants were sensible and stopped talking immediately
Oneida looked at Jacob and said calmly, “I came to help you.”
Oneida said these words lightly, with no expression on her face.
“Help me?” Jacob repeated subconsciously and was a little stunned.

Oneida nodded.
She took the initiative to sign up for this emergency substitute not only to help Jacob but also for honor.
Although Oneida was usually indifferent and calm, she had a strong sense of self–esteem and honor.
Being ridiculed by foreign teams, Oneida, as a native of Hestrya, couldn’t stand it.
She wanted to help KnightGuard win the game.
So, she came.

Oneida shared an exceptional video showcasing her skills with the official Twitter account of KnightGuard, leading to her well–deserved selection.
“You…”
Jacob looked at Oneida in front of him and hesitated to say something.
After a moment of silene, Jacob said gently, “Do you know that it is not as simple as you think to be this emergency substitute and participate in Global Clash Championships?”
Jacob lowered his eyes, so Oneida couldn’t see the look in his eyes clearly. He continued, “If you don’t play well, I won’t blame you. But fans and the media don’t care. They will definitely despise you.”
The e–sports contestants seemed to be admired, but they bore great pressure.
Any mistake they made would be magnified by the outside world.
In the e–sports circle, there were many fans and more haters.
Jacob didn’t care about what others said because he had gotten used to it, but Oneida was different. She was a girl.
He was afraid that she would be influenced by public opinion.
“Besides, you are a girl. When you play on the court, you will inevitably be judged not only by your ability but also your appearance.”
Jacob was calm when he said those words and looked straight at Oneida’s face.
However, after listening to his words, Oneida had no intention of retreating at all.
“I know what you mean. Don’t worry.” Oneida nodded dismissively.
Seeing her reaction, Jacob couldn’t help feeling a little pity in his heart.
“It’s okay,” Jacob patted Oneida on the shoulder and said solemnly, “Uncle Jacob will protect you.”
“Uncle?”
Before Oneida could say anything, other teammates instantly caught the key point of Jacob’s words.
“Jacob, is she your niece?”
Jacob looked at his teammates and sneered, “What’s wrong? Can’t I have a niece?”
At this moment, Jacob had accepted Oneida in a way.
