Chapter 76: Jinjiang Novel Reading Exclusive, a bit embarrassing. ...

As one of the few domestic teams that can directly advance to the new season, SFD finally ushered in their first regional finals after other teams had fought for several rounds for the quota.

The location was not in Yanhai City. Before leaving for the competition venue, Lu Zhiye went back home and said that he wanted to say goodbye to the mango parrot before going on a long journey.

I don't know if it was eavesdropped by my phone, but these days, there are a lot of videos of lovebirds recommended on the homepages of various software, and each one is more biting than the other.

When he arrived at the on-site lounge, Shi Jing suddenly remembered this incident. He still didn't quite believe that Lu Zhiye would be like that group of people who let this little thing bite him and make him scream.

It just so happened that Lu Zhiye hadn't come in yet. He avoided the sight of others and secretly clicked on the other person's WeChat avatar.

Still that stupid bird.

It was similar to the videos he'd seen online, and Lu Zhiye's expression was even more provocative than those online. He tilted his head and squinted at people, his face clearly saying, "Not a good person."

It turns out that people are like the birds they raise.

Shi Jing also narrowed his eyes.

This bird has the same yellow head as its owner.

"Don't worry, don't be nervous. Just play the same way Coach Wan trained you on the court. Believe that you are the best, okay?" The fat manager used his exclusive tablet to cheer up the players.

Jiang Yuan: "Please, Manager, you seem to be the most nervous."

Fat manager: “…”

The people in the lounge had experienced several World Championships and were no longer excited about a small playoff game. They were either resting with their eyes closed or looking down at their phones.

The chubby manager cleared his throat. "I'm just worried about our newcomer, right, Sweetie? It's your first four-person match today, so don't be nervous."

The newcomer was not nervous and his attention was not on him at all. He didn't hear a word he said.

Seeing Lu Zhiye's figure from the door, Shi Jing threw away his phone and stood up: "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Okay, okay, it's good to go to the bathroom. It's a good thing to do it before going on stage. You can pause if you want to go to the bathroom on stage, but don't forget!" The fat manager watched him walk out.

Jiang Yuan: "...Manager, this is Sweet's first time playing in a four-person match, not her first time on the court. If you keep talking, I'm going to get nervous."

Coach Wan showed up just in time and interrupted the conversation: "Don't create tension. It's just a game, what's the big deal? Where are Sweet and Xiao Lu?"

"I just went to the bathroom."

"Two people going to the bathroom together?"

"...I don't know." Jiang Yuan was stunned by the question. It seemed a little strange for two men to go to the bathroom together. He stretched his head to take a look outside, but saw nothing. "Anyway, they went out together. Sweet said they went to the bathroom, but I don't know what they did."

The coach didn't bother to ask any more questions: "Then you two come over here and review the landing points of each map again."

“…”

Outside the lounge, Shi Jing came out and grabbed Lu Zhiye who was about to enter.

He pulled the person to the corner of the corridor and made sure that this place was far away from all the other club lounges and no one would come over before he let go.

Lu Zhiye did not resist the whole time. When he saw him stop, he looked at him quietly, waiting for Shi Jing to speak.

"..." Now that I had met him, all the vicious words that had been turning over in my mind for the past two days disappeared, and for some reason, my eyes kept drifting uncontrollably to Lu Zhiye's lips.

Oh shit.

After a while, Shi Jing forced himself to put on a rather sour expression: "Don't you have anything to explain about that night?"

Lu Zhiye was stunned.

"..." Shi Jing pressed his lips into a straight line, "When you kissed me that day...were you thinking about something you shouldn't have?"

Although the answers given by that stupid software were always outrageous, Shi Jing felt that its analysis made sense this time.

After Shi Jing finished asking, he saw that Lu Zhiye's expression didn't change much, so he thought he was going to deny it. But the next second, he said directly: "Yeah."

"You..." Shi Jing was caught off guard by him, "What?"

"I thought about something I shouldn't have thought about." Afraid that he would think he had misheard or misunderstood, Lu Zhiye added.

Shi Jing was almost driven to lose confidence by him: "Do you know what I'm talking about?"

Lu Zhiye blinked: "I know."

Knowing this, you can still say it without batting an eyelid?

Lu Zhiye seemed to be able to hear what he was thinking. The next second, he directly controlled Shi Jing: "It would be great if you could stop thinking about it."

Shi Jing: “…………”

Quiet.

The corridor was silent for several minutes.

No, stop, think.

If you can think more than just.

In the face of Shi Jing's completely uncontrollable gaze and shocked and stiff expression, Lu Zhiye covered his eyes with his long eyelashes and then raised them again.

It seems that the person who said this feels aggrieved.

“But now it’s just a thought.”

"..." Shi Jing asked a question that almost made him bite off his tongue, "Why?"

no.

What why?

Now it’s important to ask why?

Lu Zhiye raised his eyes and looked at him: "Because this kind of thing can only be done to your boyfriend."

Shi Jing: “…………”

I can only do it to my boyfriend.

The words he used were too advanced, and Shi Jing didn't have time to digest what he meant by "such a thing".

Boy friend.

And he is not Lu Zhiye's boyfriend yet.

He and Lu Zhiye had held hands and kissed, but they were not yet boyfriend and girlfriend.

Wait. Why did he use “还”?

But Lu Zhiye could still look at him calmly: "Although you agreed to let me kiss you, you didn't seem to mention the matter of your boyfriend."

Shi Jing's body was so stiff that he could be put into a box and carried away immediately: "I didn't mention it, so what?"

"It's okay." Lu Zhiye said, "So I can only think about it."

"..." Forcefully controlling himself from blushing, Shi Jing managed to utter, "I'm a world champion. It's normal for me to have high standards for my boyfriend."

Lu Zhiye was stunned for a moment.

When he came to his senses, Shi Jing was gone.

The back looks a little embarrassed.

-

In the first playoff game that SFD participated in, the Apex official gave enough face, and the posters and topics from outside the venue to inside the stadium never left the team.

Of course, there were also many topics to discuss among players from other clubs, especially LA.

"I give up. When I think about how we fought so hard in the pre-season and mid-season just to qualify to play against these people who have been lying at home for months, I feel like ants are crawling all over my body." LEO looked at the direction where the SFD people entered the venue and complained quietly to his teammates next to him.

"..." The LA support rolled his eyes. "Come on, what do you mean by qualified to play a game? You want to train hard for months and then be eliminated in the first round? Can you please not say that and discourage the other players?"

"He just wanted to go back to the couch and watch the game, and he accidentally blurted out the truth." Doki smiled and patted the young support's shoulder. "But to be honest, I kind of wanted to, too."

Assistant: “…”

"Is this what you really mean? Go back and lie on the couch and watch the game?" LEO said, "Be careful if you get a termination notice and have to pack up and go back home to watch the game."

The support laughed out loud, "That's pretty cool. Then, back home, my relatives will tell me I didn't study hard, I only played games, and ended up accomplishing nothing."

Doki: "...No? I've made a lot of money over the years, right? How come I've achieved nothing?"

LEO: "When you say you're making a lot of money, what do you mean? After three years in the industry, you've received fewer big brand endorsements than SFD, a newcomer in the industry?"

Doki gritted his teeth: "I'm going to fucking fight you!"

LEO: "No, if you want to fight, go find the new guys in SFD, don't look for me."

"..." Doki also rolled his eyes, imitating the assistant. "If I could beat him, would I still be sitting at the same table with you?"

LEO: “.”

The LA assistant laughed so hard that he almost drew the director's camera over.

"Alright, let's see how they perform in their first game." GA, the slasher who had been ignoring them, put down the game replay on his phone. "This game is against another region, in a different time zone. We can't tell from watching, but they should have at least 150 points of lag. I wonder if this newcomer can adapt."

Teams from two different regions are in their respective main venues, but after all, they are separated by an entire ocean. In order to ensure fairness, the organizers will set both sides to a high-latency game mode to compete against each other.

Most of their training was done on the Asian server, where the maximum delay was around 30, but it suddenly became 150. It took about 1 second for feedback and animation effects to appear after a shot was fired. Without systematic training, it was hard to say whether they could adapt.

In comparison, teams in other regions are basically composed of players with several seasons of competition experience.

"I can guess what they're discussing with my toes." Jiang Yuan followed the coach's instructions and locked onto the electric girl. "SFD's newbie is participating in a four-person tournament for the first time. He starts right after joining the team and isn't used to the high latency. Balabalabala..."

As the center of this public opinion storm, Shi Jing was the one with the calmest expression.

But this time, unexpectedly, Lu Zhiye took over Jiang Yuan's words first: "He can adapt."

Not to mention the people on the team, even the coach who was connected to them by voice was stunned for a moment.

It’s not that Lu Zhiye said anything wrong, it’s mainly because he has never been seen joining in this kind of pre-match chat, and it’s even rarer to see him speaking for others.

Shi Jing's expression seemed to change slightly after being defended, but only for a brief moment. As if trying to conceal his emotions, he said in a tense voice, "Whether you're used to it or not, you'll know after you beat me."

The map pool selection is over, the match officially begins, and everyone except four players disconnect their voice connection.

Shi Jing used his actions to let everyone know whether he was bragging or not.

The first map - Waning Moon.

Classic center map.

Shi Jing selected the robot.

A seemingly standard hero who is more of a team tool.

SFD landed in the first safe zone, and Lu Zhiye gave him four upgrade packs in the landing area.

The moment he upgraded to blue armor, Shi Jing used three special move charging books in a row and directly used a hook to pull the opponent's face.

At the same time, three teammates rode Ash's portal to flank the enemy.

In less than 2 minutes, all the teams in the quarantine area were wiped out, and a golden Nemesis was obtained.

This game is basically over.

The second map drawn was Canyon of Kings.

SFD floor-standing lava siphon.

This time the speed was even faster, as if they had already figured out the other team's action patterns in the previous round.

It only took three safe zones for Shi Jing's robot to get 9 kills and deal nearly 2,000 damage.

The fourth safe zone refreshed, and the only team that might pose a threat to them was sniped down by Lu Zhiye from a very long distance. Before they could help or move away, the robot's ultimate hook was opened in their faces. With SFD-Sweet's huge ID, the headshot line was pressed down as if it had turned on technology. In one encounter, all members of this team returned to spectator mode.

The third game.

Shi Jing directly chose the Power Boy.

In an Apex game where the average duration is 35-40 minutes, I managed to finish the game in 28 minutes and 36 seconds.

According to the regional finals scoring system, the team that gets the defender in the final round can directly enter the subsequent competition without paying attention to the points limit.

But the scary thing is...SFD is also first in points.

When the results of the entire game were displayed on the big screen in the stadium, the silence in the stadium was abnormal.

"...Oh my god." Leo took a long time to exhale, looking at his teammates in disbelief. "Is it my imagination? Why do I feel like... he's frying fish in the playoffs too??"
