Chapter 53 Jinjiang Novel Reading Exclusive Can I Kiss You? ...

The moment Lu Zhiye finished speaking, Shi Jing's scalp exploded.

The voice was not loud, and the tone was not overly enthusiastic. The pair of black pupils looking at him were as calm as water, but it made Shi Jing's heart beat out of rhythm.

Lu Zhiye's hand reached into the ends of his hair, not too hard, and did not linger. He rubbed it twice and then withdrew it, but the remaining warmth and touch were still there.

Shi Jing should avoid it.

It's time to shake his hand off and punch him again.

But he couldn't move.

Being stared at by Lu Zhiye with such eyes, an unprecedented strange feeling spread from his heart.

After a long while, he took a half step back with a stern face and squeezed out a nonsensical sentence: "...Who asked you?"

The difference between his tone and the cold one he had spoken half a minute ago was as great as heaven and earth.

Shi Jing was also stunned by his own reaction.

Lu Zhiye looked at the dim corridor, and the light could not hide the tension written on every strand of hair on the man's body.

Very slowly, he blinked and tilted his face slightly to one side.

The subtle movement did not escape Shi Jing's eyes: "Lu Zhiye...you dare--"

Lu Zhiye raised his eyes and looked at him.

Pretty normal expression.

Not laughing.

Lu Zhiye: “Hmm?”

“…” Shi Jing became even more stiff.

Aren't you trying to laugh? Why are you hiding?

"Nothing." He clenched his fist, not even realizing that the anger instigated by EVG had subsided silently.

Oh shit.

Sooner or later, Lu Zhiye will know the consequences of touching me casually, otherwise there will be no end to the fun.

During the few minutes of rest, the results of the first two games had already caused a heated debate in the event broadcast room and on Weibo.

Most people were criticizing EVG for maliciously exploiting a map bug, while others criticized Apex for fixing it sooner rather than later. Others felt that since falling off a cliff to death was a legitimate way to play the map, it was a legitimate strategy—if EVG could use it, so could other teams, and there was nothing unfair about it.

When Shi Jing returned to the locker room, Coach Wan had already discussed the playing style and placement of the next three games with the coaching staff.

"Whether that match was considered malicious exploitation of a map bug or not, our professional team will communicate with the tournament organizers and will definitely provide a satisfactory response. For now, the two of you should forget about the last match and avoid playing with emotion," Coach Wan instructed them upon seeing them enter. "Sweet, as I said before, your on-the-spot reactions were excellent, and you handled the situation perfectly. Play the next three games normally. There's nothing wrong with our tactics or our level of play."

Shi Jing nodded, glancing at the jump point and transfer route they had arranged. It was a more conservative approach than in the previous meeting, aiming for a safer score.

"Do we have to fight according to this idea?" he asked.

Coach Wan was stunned for a moment. "Not necessarily. This is the main idea. If there are any changes on the spot, it depends on your performance."

The overall coaching style of SFD is also very different from that of EVG. They will not force players to pick a certain hero, use a certain gun, or jump to a certain point or take a certain route.

I have already felt this aspect during this period.

"How do you want to play?" the assistant coach asked. "Do you still want to play a high-risk, high-reward, fast-paced style?"

"No." Shi Jing stood in front of the locker room screen with a blank expression. "I want these teams to understand why they can't make it to the World Championship every year."

Five minutes later, the third game began.

Shi Jing picked up a hero that he had never used in SFD before - the Undead.

In the last three seconds of the countdown to select the hero, Lu Zhiye locked the robot.

The map pool is Canyon of Kings.

SFD chose the most competitive area in the entire map as the jump point - siege.

Three houses and two covered bridges.

A small residential area that can be played from beginning to end without a 2x scope. Because it is located in the center of the entire map and is close to four high-level resource points, it has always been a must-fight place in the ranking competition.

When you are lucky, you can jump to the third team. When you are unlucky... it is not impossible for half of the people to jump here.

With the pre-selected jump point rule, only SFD team can appear in this precious land.

"Wow, SFD was trailed by over 100 points in the last game, are they still going to make such a big move? It's not like we haven't had teams come back from being down 2-2 to win before." Commentator A failed miserably in predicting the jump point again, and he pushed up his glasses and looked at his guessing points, feeling both amused and helpless.

Commentator B: "Maybe they won the first game by jumping to the turbine, so they thought jumping to the middle of the map would give them a better chance?"

Commentator A: "But don't forget that the other teams also have coaching staffs. They must have analyzed their playing styles during halftime. This fast-paced approach is designed to catch the opponent by surprise. It might work the first time, but not the second time."

Shi Jing quickly showed them what it meant to get zero points on an open-book exam.

Thirty seconds into the fight, Shi Jing already had a double rifle in hand.

Thirty-three seconds into the game, Lu Zhiye used two special moves to charge the book, and then he zipped over to the Striped Lake.

【SFD-Sweet killed OA-huanhuan.】

SFD-Wild killed OA-nuoyan.

The two people who chose the Striped Lake as their landing point had just opened a few boxes and had just got a normal weapon and a pistol in their hands when the two people rushed to their faces.

The Undead hero maximizes his advantage in close combat in the early stages. Once his skills are activated, his armor is directly one level higher than that of the enemy.

The enemy has good guns and high armor, but I still have to attack them first. How do I beat them?

Before the two people could even react to what was happening, the screen went black.

"What's going on?" Commentator A was confused.

A few seconds ago, the director was showing the landing and jumping points of HUN and EVG. They were all searching for supplies safely. When he saw the kill message appear in the upper right corner of the game, he quickly cut over, but he still couldn't catch up with the speed of the two SFD people killing people.

Commentator B: "Is there a replay? What just happened? Wasn't it only a few seconds into the game... a little over 30 seconds? How did SFD go from siege to Striped Lake?"

"Lu Shen... Lu Shen's backpack..." The director didn't even dare to switch the screen, and just happened to see Lu Zhiye opening the backpack from his perspective.

In addition to four sets of bullets and emergency medicines, all the remaining slots in the bag are filled with special move charging books.

Commentator A: "Can we still play it this way?"

Some people actually play this way in ranked.

But basically, only heroes who rely heavily on ultimates are used, using them frantically to get supplies to their teammates. For example, Lifeline's ultimate summons airdrops, and Hacker's ultimate sends out a drone to report locations and control the enemy.

The robot takes so many special move charging books just to get the big transfer point?

"SFD has already upgraded to blue armor this time. They're looking for the team at the pit and the airbase," Commentator B said quickly. "There are four more armor upgrade kits on the way. Pick them all up and they can upgrade to purple armor..."

What is the value of the purple armor that appears in less than a minute at the beginning?

Ten seconds later, the screen-filling kills gave the answer.

【SFD-Sweet killed LA-LEO.】

【SFD-Sweet defeated LA-Diary.】

SFD-Wild killed LA-Diary.

【SFD-Wild knocked down FIX-Charge.】

…

【SFD-Sweet became the new kill king. 】

The system announced that "a new killing king has emerged", which finally made all other teams alert.

But it's no use anymore.

LA, who jumped out of the air force base, was taken down by Shi Jing and Lu Zhiye with two guns that dropped from the sky. They also took down several other teams at small points around them. After two minutes, the armor of the two was upgraded to red armor.

The second safe zone has just begun to refresh.

Commentator A's expression became dull.

Commentator B belatedly realized, "...Why do I suddenly feel that this new jump point rule is the biggest improvement for the SFD team?"

He vaguely remembered that SFD was a team nicknamed "niggers".

Although other teams also encounter situations where they don't have good guns when they land, no one encounters it as frequently as SFD.

Even Lu Zhiye, known as the Sniper God, usually couldn't get his desired weapon at the start. If the four of them could gather two pistols after landing, they would win.

Now that the new rules have come out, no team has to rely on luck to land. Whoever finds the spot faster will dominate the game.

It was obvious that while other teams were still using their previous conservative tactics, Shi Jing had already mastered the new rules.

Just have to be fast.

Just jump to the middle of the map.

The smaller the point, the better.

The closer to the other teams, the better.

The stronger the hero is in the early stage, the better, and the more displacement skills the better.

The first safe zone is turned into red armor, and the undead skill can add another layer of armor. The upgraded robot can even mark the enemy's position on the map, and the ultimate rope has a terrifying 50% damage reduction.

This game can't even be called a game.

This is a crushing massacre.

Ten minutes into the game, in the third round, there were only three teams left on the field.

"For the next big move, you don't have to hang onto the rooftop opposite." Shi Jing looked at the four red arrows marked on the map, "Come jump over with me."

There was a springboard on the ground, and with a sliding tackle, the distance was more than enough.

"good."

The fourth safe zone began to shrink.

HUN and EVG both waited for the moment the robot hook appeared and aimed at the person on the rope first.

But no.

With two consecutive "bang" sounds, two figures jumped out from behind the shelter on the opposite roof and jumped to the upper floor of their building.

Lu Zhiye used his ultimate skill to hit EVG's second position player who was trying to hide below, hooking him up.

"Why didn't my brother Lu use his ultimate to slide over... Holy shit?!" Jiang Yuan's eyes widened, "Huh?"

Song Jiahang, standing by, anticipated his words: "The robot's ultimate can be used for more than just displacement."

It can also be used to hook people.

The entire first-person perspective scene flew from the ground to the air, and the first reaction of EVG's second-position player was... he couldn't react at all.

Before his brain could process what was going on, his health bar had already dropped by more than half.

The headset was filled with Smurf's English reporting, but it was still not as fast and accurate as the native language. At the critical moment, there was a communication problem, EVG's second position didn't deal any damage at all, and was picked off in mid-air.

Smurf, who lost his teammates, naturally became a turtle in a jar. He was easily taken down after barely breaking through the armor added by Shi Jing's undead skills.

HUN tried to take advantage of the chaos to rush over and launch a sneak attack, but he didn't expect that the two EVG players died before they could even remove a layer of armor from Shi Jing and Lu Zhiye, and they gave away a quad kill.

The defender's icon popped up before the others could recover.

Twelve minutes.

The game is over.

"I..." Commentator A was about to curse, but couldn't say it during the live broadcast, so he forced himself to hold it back, "Is this a competition or Diamond Ranked?"

Narrator B: “…”

"Don't be so mean," Matt commented sharply while eating chips in the SFD lounge. "It's impossible for us to be completely wiped out in twelve minutes in a Diamond game, okay? Unless we're playing with a cheat."

This level of aiming is fucking cheating.

It is a super plug-in that can reduce the dimension of both tactics and awareness.

The idea of ​​playing steadily and cautiously was completely shattered, and the players of other teams also realized that they could not continue to use this plan, but they had no experience in the fast-paced game.

The last two games involved two large maps, and the speed at which they ended wasn't as outrageous as the third game, but it wasn't much different.

In the last game, Shi Jing played the dynamic boy again, and even had the mood to play with the bow he picked up from the airdrop. He chased the team in front of him that was running for their lives, shooting arrows at their heads one by one, making them collapse but unable to escape.

"LEO, run! Use your ultimate and run! Where's your ultimate?" The tone of commentator A changed. The win or loss of this game didn't seem so important. It seemed quite fun to watch the two SFD players hunting other players all over the map. After all, they were not the ones being tortured.

Commentator B suddenly noticed a detail: "Xiaojia, I feel like Wild's playing style has changed a lot."

"What do you mean?" Commentator A smiled as he watched the director's camera lens on Leo being cornered. Shi Jing even had time to throw him a dynamic expression, "He's just practicing the breakaway position in the doubles match, so his style will definitely change."

"That's not what I'm talking about," Commentator B said. "Have you noticed that the highlight of SFD has shifted from watching Wild to watching their rookie Sweet?"

It's not just because Sweet is strong.

Wild also played a few sniper games, and he showed every bit of strength he should have.

But he mostly lets Sweet fight against robots, Ash, and even versatile heroes like Lifeline.

In the past, the entire SFD team served Wild alone. If Wild could snipe the enemy, they would win; if he couldn't, they would lose.

Now……

Wild seemed to be cooperating with the newcomers.

It is obvious that SFD's attack instructions and transfer routes were issued by Sweet and executed by Wild.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that such a day would come?

Commentator B: "Wild played against another penetration player on their team before. Was it the same?"

Commentator A: "How is that possible?"

In the past, they wished that three people would surround Lu Zhiye alone and create the best output environment for him.

But he is indeed worth it.

He can really snipe.

But what made Lu Zhiye, a core player of the team, willing to give up his position to a newcomer so quickly and cooperate with the opponent?

The commentators couldn't figure it out, and there was no time for them to study it, so this dramatic doubles final came to an end.

The two EVG guys hid in a small ravine, and took out the shield man and the ballistic man. With both a shield and an extra gun, they were really at their wit's end, and planned to fight in a turtle shell position.

"I don't believe his armor is thicker than his shield!" Smurf said the most fluent Chinese sentence of the whole night.

Shi Jing's armor is not as thick as his shield.

He also had no intention of fighting them head-on with his shield.

Lu Zhiye's tactics in this game are varied.

The proficiency is not high, but it is enough.

With one ultimate move, a portal was pulled directly, and a black hole emerged from the wall behind Smurf.

The next moment, Shi Jing and Lu Zhiye appeared in front of him.

"Bang!"

The golden Aoquan shotgun sprayed a full burst of bullets, thoroughly blowing him and his armor to pieces without leaving anything behind.

"..." Jiang Yuan was sweating for the other teams in the audience. "I saw EVG's coach. He looked stinker than if he'd eaten shit."

The fat manager slammed a stack of documents on his head. "What nonsense! This is still a competition."

"Yeah, if you want to talk about it, you have to get in the car first," Matt added.

Fat manager: “…”

Behind the competition stage, after finishing five games, Shi Jing stood in the aisle with his peripheral bag, not leaving.

When Lu Zhiye came towards him, he met the latter's black eyes and raised his eyebrows.

"You're quite right this time." The young man was full of vigor, standing with his bag slumped over, as if he was about to pick it up. His short hair was pushed up by the weight of his headphones. "These people are really not worthy of being my opponents."

The fight was very enjoyable and exhilarating.

The cooperation with Lu Zhiye was also very pleasant. They could understand each other's ideas without any effort. This was a tacit understanding between teammates that Shi Jing had never experienced before.

After the fight, Shi Jing figured it out.

Not depressed at all.

He didn't even bother to glance at EVG.

Without him, what is left of EVG?

As a world champion, what's the point of him competing with a group of teams that can't even get out of their own region?

The microphones of the host and commentator behind them were deafening, and there was an award ceremony and post-match interviews waiting for them, but Lu Zhiye did not move.

The aisle was only big enough for the two of them. Shi Jing seemed to say something again, but he couldn't hear.

"Shi Jing." Lu Zhiye looked at the person in front of him who was slightly raising his head, the small mole on his fair cheek reflected under the light, his lips opening and closing, and the excitement and light in his eyes.

"What? The breakthrough you made today was quite impressive. Your practice was not in vain. If you really want to hear my praise—" Shi Jing's words stopped abruptly.

"Can I kiss you?" Lu Zhiye asked.
