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 56 Jinjiang Novel Reading Exclusive Show Mercy and Give Him a Way Out…
Lu Zhiye's combo was so smooth that Shi Jing only reacted after he sat back in his camera seat.
When I turned around, I saw the person next to me sitting upright, but with drooping eyelids, and one could tell from his profile that he was in a bad mood.
Although Lu Zhiye usually has this expression.
To be precise, he had no expression at all. He always had his eyes drooping, his lips closed, and his face was expressionless.
But Shi Jing could sense a slight difference in emotion from this unchanged face.
No? Are you still feeling wronged?
"You..." Shi Jing opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
Elsewhere, Song Jiahang returned to the training room and took his place. Jiang Yuan was already eager to try, "I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready! Join the group!"
A team invitation pops up.
Shi Jing: “…”
Indeed, as Jiang Yuan had said, most of the pro players were playing ranked matches tonight. As soon as they landed, they spotted a number of familiar IDs in the kill list in the upper right corner.
Unfortunately, most of them were second-team players from other clubs. LA, the only one who could play, was unlucky and was pushed to the opposite corner of the safe zone, where he was beaten up by them.
Shi Jing's account has basically been playing in duos recently. The hidden score of the four-person team is still very low. He wins the game easily and the points added are also high.
He took a look at the entire settlement panel. Except for Lu Zhiye who played a big account and only added a pitiful single-digit score, everyone else had taken a big step forward.
Having tasted the sweetness of success, Jiang Yuan's laughter became even more unbridled. "Brother Lu is awesome, Xiao Tiantian is awesome, Da Zhuang, you're awesome too. Next time, let's crash into LA again. Tonight, we'll rely on their points to steadily send all four of us into the hunt."
Hunting is a special ranking in Apex. It is equivalent to a separate top tier independent of all other ranks.
This rank is equivalent to the top 500 in the entire server. The title of Hunter can attract countless ordinary Apex players.
But just as he finished speaking, another mechanical system voice popped up in the voice chat -
"Someone has joined the channel."
The next second, LEO's familiar voice rang through everyone's SFD headphones: "Alright, you're secretly gaining points here? And you're trying to take our team's points, Xiaoyuan? I caught you, didn't I?"
"..." Jiang Yuan said confidently, "So what? Being bad at esports is a sin. Don't lose to me if you have the guts."
"?" LEO was surprised. "Oh my, why are you talking so tough today? Did you forget about the last time you lost all night?"
Jiang Yuan: "Don't you see who's leading me today? Open your eyes and scan our voice channel to see some IDs you wouldn't even dare to imagine."
LEO: “…”
LEO: "I can't even imagine it. That's a bit exaggerated. What about you playing with little An An like this? Is he going to fight alone?"
Yes, there is also Zhou Lian.
Jiang Yuan was so focused on gaining points that he completely forgot about his former good teammates.
Apex's built-in voice chat wasn't very user-friendly, and the SFD players were used to using their own voice chat software during practice. Zhou Li'an, upon hearing them mention him, took the initiative to speak on the microphone: "I'm fine. I can play on my own, or even share a car with the second team later."
"That's not possible. It's too unfair. When you're in the same game with them on the second car, won't you be giving away points?" LEO is worthy of being the captain of LA. He added fuel to the fire as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zhou Lian: “…”
Jiang Yuan vomited: "...You are so disgusting, get out of our channel immediately and stop trying to sow discord between An An and us."
"Don't worry." LEO finished laying the groundwork and then revealed what he really wanted to say. "I have a plan. It can help everyone score higher."
Jiang Yuan: "I don't want to listen."
LEO: "How about lending us Sweet? We're just missing a breakout position."
Jiang Yuan: “?”
Jiang Yuan: "What are you thinking about?"
"Why are you being so aggressive? This is a conversation between captains, and your Captain Lu hasn't even spoken yet." LEO asked Lu Zhiye, "Wild, how about loaning us Sweetie for a night? It just so happens that you four are the same team from last season. Let's play four-on-four and have some intense matches so we can improve together."
Sweet baby.
Only LEO is shameless enough to say such a name. Jiang Yuan shuddered at the cheesiness.
He thought that Sweet would not agree, and Lu Ge was even less likely to agree, and was about to refuse -
"What's your lineup?" Shi Jing suddenly asked.
Jiang Yuan: “?”
Jiang Yuan: "No, Sweet, don't go. He just wants you to help him gain points."
"Go, go, go away." LEO was surprised that the newcomer would respond to him. "What lineup do you want? I can play whatever you want. You can choose whatever you want."
The high-intensity breakthrough he and Lu Zhiye demonstrated in the doubles match was enough to make everyone realize the strength of this newcomer. How could he ask others to cooperate with them?
After LEO finished speaking, Shi Jing didn't hesitate to ask him: "I want to assist, can you play?"
Lu Zhiye next to him glanced at him.
LEO: "Well... unfortunately, our team's support is away today because of something."
"Then get out of here," Jiang Yuan said. "Why would a team without a support fight? Are we going to have to suffer for Sweet Baby?"
"No, I haven't finished speaking. Our support is not here, I can play support." LEO said.
Ignoring Lu Zhiye's gaze, Shi Jing asked nonchalantly, "What kind of assistance can you provide?"
LEO: "You tell me one and see if I can do it."
Shi Jing didn't even think about it: "Lifeline."
"Oh my!" LEO slapped his thigh so loudly that it could be heard clearly even over the chat. "Isn't this easy? You can even let me follow you the whole time."
"Oh." Shi Jing reacted indifferently after hearing this.
LEO: "How about it? Come on, you retreat this way and I'll pull you into the team, gogogo!"
Shi Jing: "Only the lifeline?"
LEO: “?”
LEO: "What else do you want? Tell me."
Shi Jing: "Electric girl."
LEO: "I want to cooperate with you with my ultimate, right? I can."
Shi Jing: "What about Mi Ke?"
This is a bit niche.
The hero Crypto is not popular among many players, let alone professionals, even normal players don’t like to play it.
LEO hummed, "My proficiency isn't that high, but I can still play it. Anyway, I just drop a small plane to help you find out where the people ahead are. I know."
"Is that enough? I'll get you into the group."
"I'll think about it."
LEO: “?”
No, buddy.
I've been asking for so long why it still requires consideration. The review of youth training is not that strict.
But thinking about his value, LEO didn't say anything: "Okay, I just need to go to the bathroom, you can think about it slowly."
"Fuck." Jiang Yuan drank too much milk tea, and after hearing what he said, he also felt a little bit of it. "I'm going to the bathroom too. Xiao Tiantian, don't go to their team. When I come back, I can also play Dian Mei and Crypto. I'm definitely ten thousand times better than him!"
Even after the person left, the feeling of being watched still existed and became stronger and stronger.
"..." Shi Jing muted the voice chat channel microphone, took off half of his headphones, and said fiercely to the source of his gaze, "Why are you staring at me? Is there a rule that SFD players can't play games with players from other clubs?"
Lu Zhiye's black eyes stared at him for a few seconds.
Turning around: "No."
Tsk.
Shi Jing adjusted his earphones and turned back—
"LEO basically doesn't play support, he plays against electric girls, and only uses his ultimate skills on himself." Lu Zhiye's voice floated over faintly.
"..." Shi Jing stopped wearing the headphones, "How do you know? Have you ever queued with him?"
"No." Lu Zhiye said, "I've seen his live broadcast before."
Do you still watch other people’s live broadcasts?
Shi Jing was half-believing: "Really?"
Lu Zhiye: “Yeah.”
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing: "It doesn't matter. I don't really need help anyway."
"He also uses Crypto on his phone to sell out his teammates."
“…”
"If you don't give your teammates gold airdrops when playing as a nurse, you should start by yourself."
“…”
damn it.
After Lu Zhiye finished talking about LEO's various crimes of playing support, the topic finally returned to the main track: "Last time, Coach Wan said that Power can cooperate with Evil Spirit."
“…” So she was waiting for him here.
Shi Jing turned his face away, pretending not to understand what he meant: "Power can be used with anything, but do you understand how to play with evil spirits?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhiye hummed and answered seriously, "I've been practicing recently."
Shi Jing paused.
So hardworking?
After training, I play duo with him and still have time to practice other heroes?
It doesn't show up in his record.
As if sensing Shi Jing's thoughts, Lu Zhiye added, "I practiced with a trumpet."
"……"Oh shit.
It seems there is no need to be angry over a cup of water.
Shi Jing thought that since Lu Zhiye was so sincere, he would show mercy and give him a way out: "Then I will fight you tonight to see how good your small evil spirit is."
Lu Zhiye blinked slowly and looked at the dynamic boy who was jumping around impatiently in the lower right corner of the screen: "Okay."
A few minutes later, LEO came back from the bathroom.
"How about it, have you thought about it?" he asked, rubbing his hands excitedly.
"Don't think about it." Shi Jing replied coldly, "Go back to your teammates. Only three assistants are too few."
LEO: “…”
LEO: “?”
No, you changed your face so quickly?
-
The next day, Shi Jing's account jumped from ninth to fifth on the double-row hunting list overnight.
The person playing in duo queue is not Lu Zhiye.
This shocking change did not escape Jiang Yuan's eyes: "Damn, Sweet, you practiced secretly again last night?"
Shi Jing: “?”
"No, you had extra training last night openly?" Jiang Yuan changed the subject.
Shi Jing: "I just practiced a little bit."
"?" Jiang Yuan couldn't believe his eyes. How could someone gain points more easily than drinking water?
He checked the rankings twice and found that Shi Jing's ranking had not only risen to fifth place, but his score had also surpassed the sixth place by more than 300 points.
You know, it is extremely difficult to add points in a high-scoring game, and you may only add single digits in one game. He not only wants to get a high score, but also a winning streak.
"Wait." Jiang Yuan suddenly realized something. "That's not right. Why is your teammate playing as a ghost?"
The conversation yesterday took place while he was in the restroom. The two of them turned off the team voice chat and spoke privately, so Jiang Yuan knew nothing about it.
"Sweetheart, didn't you play duo with Brother Lu yesterday?" He remembered that Lu Zhiye had said that he would play duo with Sweet in the evening and even turned down the cooperation with the female anchor for this.
Shi Jing was about to speak when Lu Zhiye sat down next to them and said, "I had something urgent to do yesterday so I didn't call."
"Oh. That's a shame." Jiang Yuan's eyes rolled. "Then who is this ghost?"
It is quite difficult to play the hero Ghost well in high-end games, but the people who are really good at it are also very good.
Shi Jing heard Lu Zhiye say calmly, "A master at playing with evil spirits, his friend."
Shi Jing's hand holding the cup almost shook out the water inside.
"Is this true? Can he take me with him? I love the Evil Spirit Wanjia the most! He can give me information and take me away. It's super cool." Jiang Yuan's eyes were full of stars.
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing glanced at the "master" next to him and was too lazy to criticize him.
Lu Zhiye also looked at him.
"..." Shi Jingmu covered up his lie with a wooden expression, "I don't know, I probably can't bring it."
Jiang Yuan was disappointed: "Huh? Why, he doesn't want to play with the support?"
Shi Jing: "He... has fixed teammates."
Anyway, Lu Zhiye is essentially duo-queuing with him every night, so this statement is not wrong.
"Alright." Jiang Yuan pursed his lips. "It's okay. I have you guys leading me, which is already awesome. I don't care about whether it's an evil spirit or not."
Shi Jing: “…”
