How Could I Possibly Like Him?

When Jing, an esports legend, died on the day he won the championship, his only regret was not seeing his rival Lu Zhiye cry tears of agony after finding out Jing was the champion.

Unexpected...

Chapter 19 Jinjiang Novel Reading Exclusive He wanted to save me. ...

What kind of shady factory would hold a meeting at almost 11 o'clock at night?

Shi Jing followed the fat manager into the conference room and found that there were only a few people inside.

He, Lu Zhiye, and Matt, whose face showed that he didn't quite understand what was going on.

Shi Jing: “?”

Shi Jing glanced at the meeting setup: "What does that mean?"

"What do you mean?" The fat manager was usually very good-tempered, especially smiling at these newcomers, but today he seemed to be getting angry. "Tell me, what does this trending search mean?"

Shi Jing: “?”

Hot search?

Shi Jing glanced at the tablet in his hand.

——[SFD captain and fans duo-queue bullying the anchor]

Shi Jing: “?”

Take another look at the screenshot below.

The picture shows Lu Zhiye and him. He is holding a Peacekeeper shotgun against Frog's head.

Someone even made an animated GIF, which started with Frog calling his dad and continued until Frog's begging for mercy was in vain and he was shot in the head.

Shi Jing: “…”

Matt popped his head out from the corner, looked for a long time, and frowned: "Why didn't they record me?"

"You're quite honored?!" The chubby manager puffed his beard and glared. "Right now, people are reposting this story on forums and major media platforms. One post was even pushed to the front page all day."

Shi Jing returned the tablet calmly and said, "Can't you just spend money to fix it?"

Fat manager: “…”

He was not looking at the fat manager, but Lu Zhiye.

For some reason, the fat manager suddenly had an illusion, as if the person in front of him was not a newcomer who had just entered the industry, but a veteran who was always on the hot search headlines, and the comments section was full of bloody hot searches.

At this time, Lu Zhiye added fuel to the fire and said, "It can be handled."

"..." The fat manager's breath was almost stuck in his chest, "I can settle it, but is money not money anymore?"

Just then, the SFD head coach came in, and the fat manager found his savior: "Lao Wan, come and judge the situation!"

Coach Wan was stunned.

He glanced at the fat manager, then at the three people standing next to him.

"What's there to negotiate for?" Shi Jing put one hand in his pocket. "It's not like I'm the one causing trouble for him. If someone tries to scam me, and I don't fight back, do I still have to apologize to him?"

The fat manager watched a few videos online and said, "Weren't you the one who first killed this Frog and his teammates?"

"It's me." Shi Jing said, "Isn't this game just a battle between players? What's wrong with killing him?"

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong.

But after editing the videos in these trending searches, it looks like Frog actively begged for mercy and spoke nicely, but Shi Jing ended up scolding him, saying "I'm your father", and then killed his entire team.

Coach Wan, who arrived later, finally understood the reason for the late-night meeting and explained, "Xiao Lu is a well-known figure and a public figure. He can't be impulsive in many matters, and handling them is more complicated."

The fat manager regained his temper: "Sweetheart, this is not like you. What happened? I saw in the picture that you were already in the circle at that time. Why did you go back to the channel to block this anchor? Tell me the whole story, so I can find a solution."

Why else.

But Shi Jing paused and swallowed his words: "Nothing serious, I just don't like him."

"..." The fat manager was about to grit his teeth again. "Then what do you want me to say to the PR team? Have them explain for you, 'Our team members are unhappy with your anchor, so we asked you to call him dad. Don't mind.'"

Shi Jing: “.”

Matt's eyes flickered between Shi Jing and Lu Zhiye, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"You're new here, so you're not familiar with this. I understand your youth and a bit of a temper, but the twists and turns behind these things aren't as simple as you think," the chubby manager said earnestly. "You're enjoying your game now, but if he reports it to the league, it could be a minor, yet potentially a major, incident."

Shi Jing didn't say anything.

The chubby manager assumed he'd heard. "Playing games is bound to lead to conflict, I understand that. A few years ago, it might have been okay; we could just make a fuss online and forget about it. But now the league is getting stricter. If someone records a single curse word and spreads it, you could be penalized, or even suspended if it gets out of hand."

Shi Jing: "So I'm going to be banned?"

“…Not really.” The fat manager thought he had spoken too harshly and scared the person.

Matt: "Don't worry, Sweetie. You haven't officially announced your entry into the industry yet, so I can't stop you."

Shi Jing: “?”

The fat manager coughed lightly and said, "So I quickly came to ask you what happened. How did you get into a fight with this anchor? Explain it to me so I can handle it."

Coach Wan: "Was it this anchor who started cursing first?"

"no."

Fat Manager: "Did he grab your airdrop first?"

"No." Shi Jing said impatiently, "I told you there's no reason. If you find it troublesome, then don't issue a notice. If the Alliance punishes me for this kind of shit, I'll blow up the Alliance base."

Fat manager: “You…”

"He was trying to save me."

Lu Zhiye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

Shi Jing: “…”

"When did I save you?"

Lu Zhiye glanced at him and said to the fat manager: "This video is not fully recorded. I came out from the passage, and Sweet came back to pick me up."

Shi Jing: “I didn’t—”

"I testify!" Matt flashed and followed the group.

He had been holding it in for a long time, not daring to speak. Now that Lu Zhiye had spoken, he started to talk. "Everything Lu Shen said was true! This anchor kept threatening Lu Shen, asking him to give him the airdropped sniper rifle. He went back on his word, took the gun and wanted to kill people. It's disgusting!"

Shi Jing: “…”

The fat manager was stunned when he heard this: "Xiao Lu, is it like what he said?"

Could Lu Zhiye's level be surpassed by a small anchor?

Lu Zhiye hummed, "I jumped alone, and I didn't do the circle well. Frog blocked me in the passage. Sweet came back to help."

With this explanation, the argument immediately became clear, and they were once again on the right side.

The fat manager said "Oh" and asked Shi Jing, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Shi Jing was about to speak when Lu Zhiye added, “What Sweet said in the video was also to help me vent my anger.”

"?" Shi Jing couldn't bear it anymore, "Who will help you vent your anger?"

Lu Zhiye: "Help our club vent its anger."

"Oh, look, he's worthy of being the person I chose. Even before the official announcement, he has already spontaneously decided to protect our club." The fat manager smiled again.

Shi Jing: “.”

Coach Wan had an expression that said, "I understand everything," and smiled at Shi Jing. "What do you mean by protecting the club? I think he's just trying to help his idol."

Shi Jing: “?”

The fat manager's smile widened. "I know you're a fan, and you can't stand seeing your idol being slandered by anyone. But your status is different now. We have more professional ways to handle this kind of thing, so you don't get tricked by someone in the heat of the moment."

no.

Who the hell is his fan?

Who will protect him?

Before Shi Jing could object, the fat manager had already convinced himself, "Alright, it's okay. After all, you're new in the industry, and this isn't your fault. Next time someone scolds Xiao Lu, remember, no matter how angry you are, don't act impulsively."

"It's okay, you guys take a rest."

"Wait a minute." Coach Wan said, "I have something to talk to them about."

The fat manager was afraid that something might have gone wrong again: "What's going on?"

"It's not a big deal," Coach Wan said. "It just so happens that the doubles competition is about to start soon, and we haven't prepared much for this event in previous years. I've seen their cooperation quite well in recent times, especially tonight, when you two played the double break position. I saw the replay, and you had great chemistry!"

Shi Jing began to have a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

Sure enough, Coach Wan patted him on the back cheerfully, "Xiao Lu has a good eye. He's a really good talent. Xiao Lu, how about taking him to a doubles match this time to practice?"

Lu Zhiye looked at Shi Jing for a while and said, "Okay."

Shi Jing: “?”

Does anyone still care about his opinion?

"Okay, you have always been conscientious about training, so I won't arrange too much. I will still add review for you, and it will be much harder than before. Young man, be mentally prepared." Coach Wan said.

He was inexplicably added to the doubles match. When he walked out of the meeting room, Shi Jingshen felt that SFD was his weaker opponent.

Matt: "Sweetheart, you are so lucky. You can play doubles with Lu Shen as soon as you come in."

Shi Jing: "Is this blessing given to you?"

"No, no, no, that's fine." Matt chuckled immediately. "This kind of difficult competition should be left to those who are truly capable. I'll just eat fried chicken and drink beer at the base and watch your live broadcast of the game."

Shi Jing was too lazy to pay attention to him.

-

Shi Jing had heard that SFD's performance in the doubles competition was very poor.

Because the most popular position in this track is the breakthrough point, which also happens to be their weakest position.

Since I can't get any results, I might as well stop preparing, and naturally my performance will get worse and worse.

The training schedule is not too tight and is more than ten times easier than in EVG.

After playing for several hours in the afternoon of the first day, Shi Jing still had the energy to continue playing after dinner.

"Brother, let me see you guys in duo queue."

Jiang Yuan's voice was heard coming from Lu Zhiye's headphones.

"You don't want to play Robot anymore?" Jiang Yuan said, "Huh? Aren't you guys playing double penetration? Brother, why did you choose Roba..."

Shi Jing saw that Lu Zhiye had chosen a support.

He was almost allergic to Lu Zhiye's support position, and the word "replace" was about to pop out -

"I'm a little tired." The voice was a little weak. "Can I play support?"

“…”

What a young master.

He just plays at a slightly faster pace. He gets tired after practicing for a few hours. What's the point of playing in the game?

At the SFD base.

Jiang Yuan watched as his brother Lu spoke calmly in a tired tone that had nothing to do with him.

His new teammates actually asked him to choose Robba.

After a while, Lu Zhiye asked again: "Can you play slower this time?"

"How about I push you in a wheelchair? Or maybe I'll fly you around in the air?" the rookie's angry voice rang out clearly. "If you can't play, go to your coach and cancel your registration. Let the substitutes take over."

Jiang Yuan thought that playing in duo queue was really not a good thing for humans. Lu Zhiye was so tired, and his fan teammates were also tired and became irritable.

If this continues, it will destroy the friendship between the players. Maybe tomorrow they will announce that SFD will still not participate in duo queue this season.

Lu Zhiye was silent for a few seconds.

"Sorry," he said. "It's my first time playing at a fast pace, and I'm not used to it. My wrist hurts a little."

“…”

The newcomer in the voice chat didn't speak.

Another glance and Shi Jing changed from a power boy to a robot that could provide ropes for teammates.

Jiang Yuan: “?”
