Joe returned home and found Becky sitting in the hall.
“Joe, are you back? Becky has been waiting for you for a long time.” Joe’s mother walked out of the kitchen.
Because of what happened last time, Joe was still angry at Becky. He asked a bit coldly. “What are you doing here?”
Becky stood up from the sofa. “I have something to say to you. Can I go to your room?”
“Alright.”
The two came to Joe’s room.
Joe pulled a chair over. “Take a seat.”
Becky sat down, looked around secretly, and noticed the cardboard boxes in the corner.
“What do you want to say? Ridicule me again?” Joe asked with a cold snort.
“I’m here to apologize to you.” Becky withdrew her gaze. Her sincere tone still had a touch of arrogance. “I shouldn’t have said those words last time. Sorry.”
Joe was a little surprised. Ashamed to quarrel with a girl for such a trivial matter, he said, “Forget it, I didn’t take it to heart.”
Becky picked up a knife on the desk and played with it. “The game will be tomorrow. I wish you success.”
Joe felt her words were a little hypocritical. “Um… Thank you.”
“Ah—” Becky exclaimed suddenly. Her finger was cut by the knife.
“Are you okay?” Joe hurried to check her wound.
Becky bit her lip. “Can you help me find the medicine box and deal with the wound?”
“Sure, just a minute.” Joe ran out of the room.
As soon as his figure disappeared, Becky immediately got up, ran to the corner, and opened the cardboard boxes.
When Joe returned with the medicine kit, she had already sat back in position.
The next day, early morning.
On the day of the game, Claire was discharged from the hospital.
Her wounds had healed, but her legs were still wrapped in gauze and she walked a bit unsteadily.
The game was being held in the gym next to Lance Middle School.
It happened to be Saturday, and many people came to watch.
“What’s so interesting? The GIO team includes all professional players and they will definitely win.”
“Let’s go watch it anyway. It’s interesting to see Claire and Joe making fools of themselves.”
“They are so bold to compete with the GIO team. I feel sorry for them!”
Dora and Derek pulled a banner, red and bright, which read a few big words.
Come on, Claire! The RAW Team is the best!
Everyone started laughing when they saw it.
“RAW team? I have never heard of it.”
“They created it themselves. What a joke.”
Like Claire’s team, five people from the GIO team joined the game, including Zack. They put the most advanced computer equipment on the table one by one.
Zack cast a scornful look at Joe.
Joe snorted. “What’s the big deal about it? We also have good equipment, not worse than them!”
They carried the cartons on the table and opened them, all instantly dumbfounded.
“F*ck! What is this?!”
“What’s the matter?” Claire came over only to see a mess in the cardboard boxes.
The mouse were smashed, the keyboard cords were cut, and all the equipment had been damaged and was obviously no longer usable.
Wayne asked huffily. “Joe, what’s the matter with you? We let you keep the computer equipment, but now the equipment is all destroyed! What are we supposed to use to play the game?!”
Joe was at a loss. “I just kept it in the room and didn’t touch it…”
“What should we do now?”
The quarrelling noise gave Claire a headache, and she became a bit irritable. “Enough! Bring the old computers over and use them.”
The others just wanted to quit the game. They were nervous to begin with and now they didn’t even have confidence.
“Is it okay to use old computers? Look at their computer equipment. They all look so advanced.”
Claire leaned on the table with one hand and tilted her head.. She looked at them, and asked slowly. “Is a win guaranteed with good equipment?”
