Old Tang stared blankly at Lu Mingfei's defeat, dumbfounded on the spot.
Lu Mingfei, the channel's number one, was actually completely defeated!!!
Impossible! Absolutely impossible! That kid Lu Mingfei, he must have been throwing the match!! No! He must have been throwing the entire Pacific Ocean!!!
.
Lu Mingfei in the internet cafe also sat up straight.
The guy on the other side, his technique wasn't that good, but his game sense was truly insane.
StarCraft was the only thing he could truly be proud of, but now, his few sources of pride were completely crushed by someone who suddenly appeared, someone whose gender he couldn't even confirm.
"Maybe he's hacking," Lu Mingfei thought.
.
Hermione: "Haha, they're so funny! But now Lu Mingfei has friends, right!!!"
Ron: "This computer is so cool! You can see people in America from China! It's so magical!"
Arthur Weasley: "Oh, heavens, this thing has given me a great idea! I'm going to invent a magical television that lets us see each other! Muggle stuff is still worth learning from!"
Dolores Jane Umbridge: "Mr. Weasley, as an employee of the Department of the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, you are breaking the law!"
Fingel: "This is the progress of civilization! Twenty years from now, these things will be just small trinkets!"
Susi: "If this screen can transcend time, then maybe people from thousands of years ago, from the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, and even ancient times, could also see this screen?"
Chen Wenwen: "A screen that transcends time, playing events from the future, everything in our current time would surely be like a heavenly palace to ancient people.
Ronald Tang: "What, how could Lu Mingfei lose!! I don't believe it! He can beat me with red dots, he must have thought the other person was a girl and threw the match!"
Chen Mo Tong: "Isn't it normal? Women are just as capable as men, did Lu Mingfei, this straight guy, lose his competitive spirit because the opponent was a girl?"
Su Xiaotong: "Hahaha! That guy really is straight, huh."
Dudley: "@Penny, Mom, I want this computer! The game called StarCraft looks really fun! I want it!"
Zhao Menghua: "Where did this little brat come from."
Lu Mingze: "Woah, a computer from twenty years ago, probably can't even play any games."
.
The Wizarding World, the Dursley family.
"Mom! I want it! This computer looks so fun!" Dudley yelled at the top of his lungs.
Vernon Dursley and Petunia Dursley were at a loss. If it were in the past, they would have definitely fulfilled their son's request.
They would have fulfilled any request their son made, after all, Dudley was their darling.
But how could they possibly fulfill Dudley's request now?
The things in the video were technological products from twenty years in the future.
Their current computers were nowhere near that level.
They were powerless.
"Buy! We'll buy it for you! But Dudley... you might be thirty-two by then," Petunia wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"No, I want it now!" Dudley's chubby face twitched, his little eyes continued to well up, his voice continued to wail.
Harry Potter plugged his ears, then saw Dudley's bullet comment flash across the screen.
It seemed Dudley had unintentionally turned his thoughts into text and sent them to the screen.
Harry Potter gloated, it's your turn to be embarrassed, Dudley.

The scene shifted again to the city's night sky, the buildings towering like scales, their lights shining brightly, the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
The red-haired girl stretched lazily from her laptop: "This S-class is really tough, if it wasn't for Norma cheating, I probably would have lost in less than ten minutes."
She adjusted the fine hair around her ears and yawned.
Chu Zihang tilted her head: "It seems this S-class, Lu Mingfei, has a high level of gaming talent."
"S-class... it's been nearly ten years since the last one appeared," Ye Sheng held his tablet. "The interview is the day after tomorrow, I wonder what he'll say."
.
Ronald Tang: "I'm telling you, he's hacking!!"
Lu Mingfei: "I'm telling you! He's hacking!"
Chen Wenwen: "But to be fair, Lu Mingfei's English and gaming skills are some of his few strengths."
Su Xiaotong: "Good English means you can go abroad, good gaming, does he want to be a professional player?"
Ron: "Professional player! Sounds so cool! It's like Quidditch!"
Arthur: "There are professional tournaments for this thing? Muggle society in twenty years is really something else!"
Lu Mingfei's Mom: "What kind of nonsense professional team is that, kids should study hard, what's the use of messing around with these trivial things?"
Petunia: "Yes, yes! My Dudley's grades are very good! He'll definitely be a distinguished player in the future! But my Dudley's physique has an innate advantage in free fighting! I think my Dudley might become an excellent boxer!"
Lu Mingfei's Mom: "My Mingze is just as good in his studies, humph, next year he'll be taking the college entrance exams, he'll definitely go to a prestigious university like Tsinghua, Peking, Stanford!"
The Humpback Whale: "It seems both parents are very concerned about their sons, haha."
Molly: "Sigh, speaking of education, my kids are about to go to school, I'm a little worried."
Ron: "Mom, don't worry!"
Ginny: "I want to go to school too, I want to grow up quickly, then I can go to school!!"
.
The scene cuts to the night of the next day.
Lu Mingfei is chatting with someone on his computer.
"Old Tang, do you know what questions American school interviews ask?"
"What's up, you got an interview? Nice one, kid!!!"
Old Tang's panda avatar jumped and jumped.
Old Tang was a Chinese-American who grew up in the US, and was the only person Lu Mingfei could think of who could help him.
"The interview is tomorrow morning, but I don't know what to expect, so I wanted to ask you."
"Umm, every school has different interview standards." Old Tang said.
"So which school are you familiar with?"
The other side's response was a bit embarrassed: "I didn't tell you, I dropped out of high school and joined the workforce, right?"
"Sorry, sorry..."
"Go on voice chat! Gogogo!"
"Well, you gotta keep it down, I'm staying with my aunt, can't be too loud, it'll wake them up." Lu Mingfei glanced at Lu Mingze sleeping soundly beside him.
"Ok ok! Looks like we're under someone else's roof, so that means if someone accepts you, you'll be free!!! Leave it to me!"
"Good buddy! You got it!" Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up.
"Of course, come to America and buy me a Coke when you get here!"
"Definitely, a large one!" Lu Mingfei turned on his webcam, seeing that large, cheerful face on the screen, the two locked eyes.
"Hello, oh~!" Old Tang grinned.
Lu Mingfei's ears were buzzing deafeningly, Lu Mingze on the bed covered his head with the blanket. He finally realized the speaker wasn't off, so he quickly plugged his headset into the host.
In the dim room, Lu Mingfei carefully read the sentences Old Tang taught him in spoken English. Old Tang noticed that Lu Mingfei's pronunciation was wrong and quickly said nonono, saying it should be read this way.
【Video playback ends.】
【Next up: The Boy Who Lived, Harry Potter.】
The video colors dimmed.
Then, the title appeared again.
Everyone was stunned.
