"Wow!" Xia Tong believed it without hesitation. She crossed her fingers and clenched her fists, saying with sparkling eyes, "Brother, you really are the best in Team P!"

Just think about it, what Alpha couldn't resist being flattered by the praise of their beloved Omega? Lin Mingfei was no exception. "Of course not," he said, his Alpha vanity immensely satisfied. "So if you have any trouble, look for me, don't look for Shi Ya."

Xia Tong hummed thoughtfully, "I understand."

Lin Mingfei's encouragement always made him feel at ease, like a reassurance pill for precise treatment.

"Then brother, how do you think I should practice walking A?" he asked. His top priority was to solve this problem.

"Walking A is nothing more than a test of your physical flexibility and the ability to multitask. Let's do it one by one." Lin Mingfei said, "First, consider improving your physical fitness."

"Then I'll go jogging with you guys tomorrow morning!" Xia Tong's fighting spirit suddenly ignited, and he said with bright eyes.

"Okay." Lin Mingfei smiled. "Tomorrow morning at six o'clock, you must get up on time to gather. You can't lie in bed."

"Okay!" Xia Tong nodded vigorously.

Walking with Lin Mingfei, the not-so-short distance was surprisingly quick. In the blink of an eye, the glittering base sign appeared in sight, dazzling even brighter than the brightest stars in the night sky. Lin Mingfei stepped forward to open the door for Xia Tong, waiting for the little Omega to enter before following. When they reached the bedroom, they exchanged a tacit glance. Xia Tong smiled and waved at Lin Mingfei. "Then I'll go back to bed! See you tomorrow morning!"

"Yeah." Lin Mingfei said softly, "Good night."

Both doors closed at the same time.

After Xia Tong walked into the bedroom, he suddenly leaned his back against the door. He was afraid that his movements would be too loud and would be discovered by Lin Mingfei next door. He didn't dare to move for a long time. He could only take long, deep breaths to calm his beating heart.

I'm really reluctant to leave. How come we've reached the base so quickly...

He didn't know when it started, but being alone with Lin Mingfei had become so exciting and thrilling. Even just staring at Lin Mingfei's face made him feel so happy. Lin Mingfei must be the most handsome Alpha in the world! Xia Tong held his slightly hot cheeks and thought to himself that he really wanted to turn into a button or some other pendant, hanging on Lin Mingfei forever, inseparable.

He slowed down, threw himself on the bed and rolled around a few times, but he had no desire to sleep. The scene of him walking and chatting with Lin Mingfei kept replaying in his mind.

He reached under the pillow and took out his cell phone, only to find that Shi Ya had sent him several messages.

I have to say that Shi Ya is a very delicate person. She might have noticed during the game 22 that Xia Tong had suffered a certain degree of mental trauma, so even after the game was over, she did not forget to send a message to express her condolences.

Xia Tong sent back a few emojis of small animals to show that she was in a good mood. Then she felt a little abrupt and wondered if she had disturbed Shi Ya's sweet dream. However, she didn't expect that Shi Ya was still awake at this time and quickly replied to the message.

Polaris_Timer: [I'm glad you're alright. Victory and defeat are commonplace in the military. Come play 22 with me again tomorrow. More practice will eventually make you sharper.]

Xia Tong was slightly surprised and replied: [Brother Shi Ya, you are still awake? ]

Polaris_Timer: [Back when I was a free agent, I was used to being a night owl. It took a while for my body clock to adjust, so I couldn't sleep much.]

Xia Xiaotong: [Can you get up at six tomorrow morning?]

Polaris_Timer: [You have to get up even if you can't. This is the club's rule and must be followed. I'm quite self-disciplined and usually get up, but Zhou Yanjun isn't always the case.]

Xia Tong thought for a moment and typed, "Today Zero told me a lot about your past."

Polaris_Timer: [Oh? Tell me what he said to you. I want to see if he exaggerated or said anything bad about us.]

Xia Tong told Shi Ya all the strange stories that Lin Mingfei had told him tonight.

Xia Xiaotong: [He said you used to play a DPS elf, not looking at your teammates but only at your opponents. The one who rushed in first died the fastest, leaving your teammates with no healing to rely on.]

Polaris_Timer: [......]

Xia Xiaotong: [He also said that Pangpang used to lose his mind when he was in a losing position, scolding his teammates so much that they had to take off their headphones and become a Buddha.]

Polaris_Timer: [......]

Xia Xiaotong: [He also said that Xiaobo was sentimental and played Axe Warrior to commemorate his deceased grandfather, making outsiders feel that Team P's spending money to sign a human sandbag was like paying an IQ tax.]

Polaris_Timer: [......]

Shi Ya was silent for a long time and did not respond.

Xia Tong cautiously asked: [Did Zero say something wrong?]

[No.] Shi Ya replied with deep sorrow: [The strange thing is that what he said was so right. It was all true, so accurate that it was impossible to refute.]

Xia Tong exclaimed, "You all are so interesting! It's really not easy to get together and play professionally."

"Yeah, I think it's quite unusual too. Maybe it's just the power of money. If it weren't for the money, we would have been fighting each other in the base. To think we could win the championship is unimaginable."

Shi Ya jokingly said, and after a pause, he vaguely felt that something was wrong: [This is strange, why did Zero only talk about us, and didn't he say anything about himself? ]

It was as if a small bell rang crisply in Xia Tong's heart.

Xia Xiaotong: [No, Zero said he has no dark history and has never been a loser!]

Polaris_Timer: [Haha, that old scoundrel! As expected, he loves to beautify himself by vilifying others. Let me tell you, the fact that he can be with a group of weirdos like us and even become the captain proves that Lin Mingfei has the biggest problems!]

Xia Xiaotong: [Brother Shi Ya, please tell me about Zero. I really want to know!]

He wanted to know everything about Lin Mingfei, whether good or bad. The more he knew, the closer he felt to her. He could also vaguely sense some of Lin Mingfei's inner thoughts. The Alpha seemed to be very concerned about his slightest feelings, afraid of leaving a bad impression on him, so he always clumsily and deliberately concealed his clumsiness.

It feels like a sprinkle of compress.

Sabufu's Zero is so cute!

Xia Tong thought happily in her heart.

Polaris_Timer: [Zero, don't be fooled by his masculine demeanor; he's actually a rough and tumble guy. The biggest difference between him and Zhou Yanjun is that Zhou Yanjun is rough on the outside, while he's rough on the inside. Did you know he used to rely on ambush kills to level up?]

Xia Xiaotong: [I heard Pangpang say a little bit when he was complaining.]

Polaris_Timer: [Let's not talk about anything else for now, let me tell you the funniest thing. He once joined a team during his rookie period. Oh, but for Zero, there might not be such a thing as a rookie period, because he is truly a gaming genius. He picked up the game quickly and was able to learn it on his own. It didn't take long for him to become one of the top players in the Hunter rankings. At that time, the sister of the team captain was attracted to his appearance——]

Xia Tong felt as if a green tangerine had been squeezed out of which a few drops of sour juice came out. She felt very uncomfortable and pursed the corners of her lips.

Xia Xiaotong: [What happened next?]

Shi Ya paused for a moment on the other end before showing the "typing" status again.

Polaris_Timer: [Tsk, I can't say bad things about Zero in front of you. I have to avoid suspicion, otherwise I will look like Green Arrow Alpha.]

Xia Xiaotong: [Why are you trying to avoid suspicion? What is Green Arrow Alpha?]

Polaris_Timer: [Hmm... Ask Zhou Yanjun. He's definitely still awake at this hour, and he knows everything I know. If he can't remember what to say, use this keyword to remind him: 'Zero, teach the apprentice.']

Xia Xiaotong: [Oh, okay!]

So Xia Tong opened Polaris_Fire's chat box in confusion.

Xia Xiaotong patted Polaris_Fire and said, "You've lost a lot of weight today!"

Polaris_Fire: [What are you doing, little guy?]

Xia Xiaotong: [Hey! Chubby! Zero, teach your apprentice!]

Polaris_Fire: [...Why do I feel like you're using me as an artificial intelligence?]

Xia Xiaotong: [Hey! Do you know about this? Tell me about it.]

Polaris_Fire: [Fuck! I have something to say about this! I love talking about Zero's dark past! I made him trick me into running 20 kilometers this morning!]

Polaris_Fire: [Did you know? Zero once joined a player team. The team leader's sister was blinded by his lard and fell for his fake appearance!]

Xia Xiaotong: [I already know the previous story...and then what?]

Polaris_Fire: [And then, that little girl trained as a hunter and pestered him to be her master. Playing games with a little girl was such a joy. She'd follow you around, looking at you with eyes filled with admiration! And cheer you on! Even if it was a bit of a waste of time sometimes, it wasn't a life-or-death matter, right?]

Xia Xiaotong: [Emmmm, you're right.]

Polaris_Fire: [Guess what happened next? The captain's straight A, he actually used a little girl as a target! Is that really how you teach people to play games?]

Xia Xiaotong: [Ah, this...]

Polaris_Fire: [After finishing his sniping, he stood outside the respawn point and told people solemnly, 'Look, you're not cut out for Hunter. No, with your qualifications, you're not cut out for holographic esports at all. You might as well play holographic dress-up games. That'd be more fun.']

Xia Xiaotong: [...and then?]

Polaris_Fire: [Then, the little girl was so angry that she cried and AFKed. He was added to the vendetta list by the entire team and was also banned on the forum. He must have been banned for several months because of the bounty.]

Xia Xiaotong: [......]

Polaris_Fire: [Do you think he deserves it? He's just a violent person! Do you think he deserves a partner? He doesn't! Unless he's blind, how could an Omega be interested in him?]

Xia Xiaotong: [......]
