It's Too Hard For Me to Keep My Identity a Secret [Esports]

Q: Are female players naturally inferior to male players?Gu Yuehshuang: Thanks for the invitation, as a female professional player, I'll speak from experience. I haven't yet found a male pl...

Chapter 74 It's so cold

The three teams went abroad together. When they first boarded the plane, everyone was quite noisy, but soon they all quieted down and went about their own business.

The POG team members were either sleeping or watching game replays. Gu Yueshuang complained that she had no place to put her down jacket, and Lin Yanqiu told her to prepare the thickest ones and be fully armed to avoid catching a cold from the sudden change of temperature after getting off the plane.

Gu Yueshuang put it aside and muttered quietly, "It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

Lin Yanqiu: "We flew from the relatively warm south to the north, so the temperature dropped dramatically after we got off the plane."

It wasn't until Gu Yueshuang got off the plane that she realized how exaggerated the temperature difference was.

She wrapped herself tightly in her warm down jacket, once again feeling how big the world was.

The young people who didn't listen to the advice were shivering with cold, but fortunately they got on the bus to the hotel soon.

The staff also prepared cold medicine and brewed ginger cola in advance.

Gu Yueshuang pointed at the boiling cola with a look of resistance and said, "What's the difference between heated cola and sugar water!"

Fang Butao took a cup of boiling water and some unsoaked ginger and asked, "Just tell me which one you want to drink."

Gu Yueshuang compromised very quickly: "The sugar water is really delicious."

Xu Qing drank the ginger cola with a bitter laugh. After warming up, he began to worry about the food and asked, "What are we having for dinner?"

Zhou Yao: "What do you think is edible here?"

Gu Yueshuang answered seriously: "Fried chicken and instant noodles."

Xu Qing corrected silently: "That's kimchi."

Gu Yueshuang nodded and said confidently: "But I don't eat kimchi, I eat instant noodles."

Fang Butao flipped through the guide he'd prepared in advance and said, "If you're not used to it, you can try hamburgers and pizza. They seem to have Shanghai burgers here, which are the spicy ones we often eat. They also have stir-fried rice cakes, which should be okay. But be cautious with other dishes. I can buy some for you to try."

Gu Yang: "Why not give them some vegetables? They don't like to eat vegetables anyway..."

Fang Butao patted his shoulder and said, "Vegetables are so expensive here. They won't eat them anyway, so let's not waste the money."

"How expensive can it be?" Gu Yang didn't care. Then he saw the cabbages that cost 20 yuan each and fell into deep thought.

Fang Butao took the phone back and explained, "It's probably a seasonal thing. It might be cheaper in the summer, but it still can't compare to back home."

Xu Qing rubbed his hands cheerfully: "Let's eat more meat. Meat is cheap."

The three teams each had their own plans, so they did not eat together.

POG had a simple dinner and then started to familiarize himself with the environment - playing games.

Gu Yueshuang rubbed her hands from the cold and asked, "Can the air conditioner be turned up a bit? My hands are frozen and it's affecting my performance."

Fang Butao: "It's already 30 degrees, it can't get any higher. Can I pour you another glass of ginger water?"

"No, no, just plain boiled water will do..." Gu Yueshuang refused repeatedly.

In fact, ginger cola is not that scary, but she is afraid that she will only have ginger cola every day in the future.

She asked again, "Do you have a heat pack? No, the heat pack is for the competition... Do you have a hot water bottle?"

Fang Butao: "I'll go to the supermarket and buy some for you. Is there anything else you need? I can buy it all at once."

Xu Qing was the first to raise his hand: "I want to eat turkey noodles!"

"Okay, but you can't eat it three days before the game." Fang Butao tried his best to meet their needs, but at the same time reminded them, "Let's be conservative and not eat anything weird before or during the game, so as not to affect your performance, okay? You can eat slowly after the game."

Xu Qing whispered, "It's mainly because there's nothing delicious here."

As they were talking, the managers of GGB and FJ came to ask if anyone in POG was feeling unwell. They said that someone in both teams had a fever and they were about to find an interpreter to go out and buy medicine together. They asked if anyone in POG needed it.

The POG team members did a good job of keeping warm. No one was sick and they were all lively and energetic playing the game.

Gu Yueshuang's game hadn't started yet. She patted Lin Yanqiu and said, "Didn't we bring ibuprofen?"

These words frightened the others so much that they trembled and dared not speak. They stopped what they were doing and looked at Gu Yueshuang in shock.

"Isn't ibuprofen a menstrual medication?"

"Ah?" Gu Yueshuang was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she was exposed because of ibuprofen, which might have caused them to have some misconceptions about ibuprofen.

Lin Yanqiu explained: "Ibuprofen can relieve fever and pain, and can reduce fever. It's okay for low-grade fevers, but for high fevers, it's recommended to go to the hospital."

Gu Yueshuang: "Shall we go and take a look?"

Zhou Yao said disdainfully: "What's so interesting? Just playing games!"

Gu Yueshuang: "Of course, they are going to gloat over someone else's misfortune and take advantage of their misfortune."

Everyone: “……?”

Gu Yueshuang: "Just kidding, we have to see if they can take ibuprofen based on their condition. It would be bad if we harmed others."

Lin Yanqiu took the ibuprofen and said, "I'll go with you."

Fang Butao: "I'll take you there and leave. I'm going to do some shopping for you."

He patted Lin Yanqiu on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Remember to watch her and don't let her talk nonsense."

Lin Yanqiu: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let them fight."

Fang Butao: “?”

Before the POG visiting team entered GGB's door, they heard coughing at the door.

Gu Yueshuang wondered: "Is this a fever or a cold?"

Lin Yanqiu handed her a mask and said, "Put it on first, just in case, to avoid getting infected by them."

Gu Yueshuang put on a mask and a hat and said, "Why do you have everything in your pockets?"

When the two entered the room, the GGB people didn't recognize them at first and asked, "Are you a doctor?"

Gu Yueshuang changed her voice and said a bunch of Korean that no one could understand.

Lu Cheng walked towards the door: "Where's our translator? Is the translator here?"

As he approached, he realized something was wrong. After observing for a while, he concluded, "It's Shuangshuang and Xiaolin, right?"

Gu Yueshuang felt a little regretful: "Ah, I was discovered."

Lu Cheng couldn't help laughing: "Why are you still wearing a mask? We didn't recognize you."

Gu Yueshuang bluntly stabbed him in the heart: "I'm afraid of being infected by you."

GGB people: "..."

Gu Yueshuang: "We are here to give you some ibuprofen."

Yang Chi sat up in shock from his dying illness: "Isn't that medicine for dysmenorrhea?!"

Gu Yueshuang was extremely calm: "Yes, you just have menstrual cramps that cause headaches and high fevers. Just take one pill and you'll be fine."

Yang Chi: “???”

Lu Cheng: "It's better not to scare him. Taking medicine without proper care can easily lead to accidents."

Gu Yueshuang said seriously: "I'm serious."

Everyone had seen Gu Yueshuang talking nonsense seriously before, so naturally no one took her words seriously.

Lin Yanqiu earnestly explained: "Ibuprofen is currently the most widely used and safest antipyretic. It can also relieve headaches and toothaches."

Lu Cheng looked at him teasingly: "Why are you still helping her mess around?"

Gu Yueshuang: "We really weren't fooling around."

Yang Chi complained, "You just said I had my period on my brain!"

Gu Yueshuang responded instantly: "Where do you get your brain from?"

The whole audience was silent.

Lin Yanqiu showed him the drug instructions and said, "You can take a look at it yourself, but if it's serious, I still recommend going to the hospital."

Gu Yueshuang sighed: "You don't even believe me. I'm such a serious person."

Everyone had a frown on their faces, thinking that even when you talk nonsense, you always look serious.

The GGB manager said, "The translator is busy and may not be here for an hour."

Almost the next second, Fang Butao came back to find Gu Yueshuang: "I just remembered I don't speak Korean when I was leaving. Do you speak Korean? Come with me to go shopping."

Gu Yueshuang: "...I'm just more skilled at cursing."

Lin Yanqiu helped translate: "She meant that the other parts were a bit awkward but still audible."

Gu Yueshuang: “???”

Can it be translated like this?

Gu Yueshuang asked: "Aren't there Korean players? They're ready-made translators."

The GGB manager was rather embarrassed: "His Chinese is not very fluent."

Gu Yueshuang: “…”

How do you communicate during matches? You didn't just learn the game jargon, did you?

Gu Yueshuang: "Bring them along. I'm not very familiar with Korean culture. At least bring two locals."

Gu Yueshuang took a step forward and then stepped back, asking, "Do these patients need to be sent to the hospital in time? I'm really not familiar with this area."

Fang Butao seriously helped to shift the blame: "Leave this with the official translator. We can't interfere in the internal affairs of other teams."

A few people packed up and went out. Gu Yueshuang bought a cup of coffee to warm her hands first and said, "There are so many coffee shops here. The streets are full of coffee shops."

Fang Butao shivered: "The temperature difference between day and night is really big..."

Lin Yanqiu thought more deeply: "The game needs to be played quickly, otherwise it will get colder the later it gets."

Gu Yueshuang wondered, "It's an indoor venue, right? Isn't there air conditioning?"

Then she thought about the air conditioning temperature in their temporary base and suddenly lost hope in the venue's air conditioning.

If the small room is so cold, it must be even colder in the big venue.

It’s cold even wearing a down jacket now. Will I have to wear the team uniform then?

Gu Yueshuang: "Then let's stock up on some more heat packs. Do we have enough funds? I even want to put them all over my body."

Lin Yanqiu: "I'm afraid you can only warm up for half the game."

Gu Yueshuang thought about it and felt that there didn’t seem to be any need for this.

Lin Yanqiu: "We should ask if we can rush out a batch of down jackets and team uniforms in time."

Fang Butao shattered their beautiful dreams: "Don't even think about it."

Gu Yueshuang clasped her hands together and made a sincere wish: "I hope the air conditioning will be strong by then!"

The Korean contestant asked her in Korean: "What's wrong?"

Gu Yueshuang: "Cold!"

The two Korean players talked a lot in a jumble of words, but no one could understand them and there was no translator, so everyone could only look at Gu Yueshuang.

Gu Yueshuang's face was full of black lines. She said, "They said there is floor heating here, but we came early and it's not on yet."

The GGB manager understood clearly, even with a hint of pride: "I understand, I understand. It's just that the period before the heating came in the north was the hardest. It's the same principle."

Gu Yueshuang frowned: "This is not good news."

Lin Yanqiu suggested, "It will be much better if we go inside, right? Let's walk faster."

Gu Yueshuang: "Come on, let's race walk. Whoever arrives last will get coffee!"

Then a group of people started walking very fast on the street in order to avoid being treated.

The Korean players didn't quite understand what was being said. They watched everyone speed up in confusion and could only follow suit.

The two Korean players discussed quietly: "Is it because we talked to Frost that Forest is unhappy?"

"That's the feeling..."
