Retired Captain Goes Wild After Entering a Reality Show with Kids [Esports]

Leng Zhi was the most acclaimed new star in esports, an unrivaled support and commander. Yet, the night before he was to lift the championship trophy, a hand injury cost him the title. Amidst a cho...

[LSG·Tyrant chose the Moon Rabbit and Chang'e]

[My youth is back! We can still see the Fairy Chang in this version. Mid-lane players must be moved to tears.] Leng Zhi didn't read the comments after that. He read the recruitment Weibo post again to make sure he hadn't misread it.

It's so similar, so incredibly similar.

Manager Chen gradually became busier—but all of this work was at her own request.

"Captain Leng, I feel like our team is in dire need of rebuilding right now."

Leng Zhi: "...?"

Zhuang Yu didn't expect his teammate on the flank to die so quickly.

"What's wrong with you? It's only been two minutes! If you can't win, play it safe."

Despite it being late autumn turning into winter, the side laner felt a chill run down his spine.

—This Panzer… he fights like a mad dog.

"Now, we need to deliver the prepared branches to the giraffe enclosure. This is hard work, and we need to feed them several times a day because they have a huge appetite. Kids, can you guess how much leaves and twigs a giraffe needs to eat in a day?"

Duoduo stretched out her arm and drew the largest circle she could manage: "So many!"

Based on their size, Xiaoyu began to speculate: "They're so much taller than us, they must eat ten times more than us! My uncle eats five bowls of rice a day! That means a giraffe must eat the equivalent of fifty bowls of leaves!"

Yun Jingcheng: !!!

I didn't eat five bowls of rice! Not nearly that many!

During the argument, Lao Qi and other guests arrived.

Even when he was still far away, Lao Qi noticed that there was a circle of people on the giraffe platform. He instinctively sensed something was wrong, put down his cart, and climbed up in two quick steps.

He pushed through the crowd and spotted Leng Zhi in the middle, and couldn't help but frown—it was the guest he had the worst impression of.

Leng Zhi didn't even see the zookeeper arrive; he couldn't stand the nagging old man.

"Who bullied him? That kid's tough-skinned and smooth-skinned, he can use that to extort money from people, he must have made a lot of money like that?"

"They can speak human language, are they taking advantage of the fact that giraffes can't talk?"

"If I was bullying him when I was twenty, wouldn't you be bullying me when you're eighty?"

The old man looked embarrassed: "I bought tickets, you can't kick us out... I'm going to file a complaint."

Old Qi rolled his eyes at him: "Then get out of here first and then complain about me."

The patrol officers were very efficient; they arrived in a few words and surrounded the grandfather and grandson with a firm attitude: "Excuse me, you have disrupted the order of our zoo. The patrol car will take you back to the entrance and process your ticket refund."

President Jiang accidentally clicked on it with his mouse.

A rather amused voice came from above:

"Huh? You're at the amusement park during your vacation?"

Alarm bells rang in Leng Zhi's mind. He stiffly raised his head and met his boss's probing gaze.

"..."

Leng Zhi did not answer his question. He stared intently at the other person's features and finally understood where the friendly feeling he had felt earlier came from.

So that's how it is; the last piece of the puzzle was hidden right next to me.

Meng Cheng was puzzled and felt a little uneasy under the other person's gaze. Just as he was about to ask a question, the other person quietly revealed the origin of his name:

However, the rumors about the league's notorious dirty tricks about the captain are not unfounded.

The light circled around and stopped beside Leng Zhi.

Jiang Yijing was tall and handsome, and the lighting technician spotted him immediately.

Based on the small theater's past experience, someone as tall and handsome as him is definitely a good fit for playing a prince.

The Queen was pleased with the casting: "It seems our prince has been chosen. Handsome young man, please come to the stage. By the way, is your girlfriend here today? Generally, we invite the prince's female companion to play Snow White."

Jiang Yijing had already stood up. Upon hearing this, he lowered his eyelashes and looked at Leng Zhi, who was trying to crawl into the crack in the ground.

He couldn't help but smile: "I don't have a girlfriend, but my wife is indeed here."

Because of Qian Yun's phone call, Yu Fu had been holding back a lot of anger.

On the one hand, it's because Qian Yun really looks down on people, condescendingly offering him recommendation opportunities from other teams as if he were some insignificant, unknown player.

More importantly, it is due to cold treatment.

The captain probably didn't realize that he was so protective of his teammates that he refused to go anywhere, and his teammates felt the same way about him, even more so.

That guy surnamed Qian is truly ungrateful, actually trying to sow discord within the LSG team in this way. What has sustained LSG all the way to where they are today is definitely not just the exceptional gaming skills of their five players.

It is also a profound bond that has bound them together all the way.

Today, having finally secured the long-awaited Zhanbian position, Yu Fu was in high spirits.

Double kill, triple kill... He was a one-man army, and ten minutes into the game, he had already pushed into the enemy's high ground with overwhelming force—one more step forward and they would be in the heart of the enemy's crystal territory.

The enormous advantage that Yu Fu exerted completely negated the negative effects of Leng Zhi choosing an unorthodox support.

—It's also possible that it doesn't actually have any negative effects at all.

This was LSG's first appearance in a major tournament. Neither the opponents in the opposing team's seats nor the audience knew what kind of support player Leng Zhi was.

His value actually has little to do with what hero awards he received.

The former League of Legends commentators often joked that even if Leng Zhi were given Daji as a support, he could still figure out a Daji support system; this guy's game thinking was just too clear.

However, the audience is unaware of this yet, as they are all focused on Yu Fu's blind holy monk.

"Damn, how does he do that? As soon as the enemy comes, he retreats to the tower or goes back to the jungle to farm. Once the enemy leaves, he can find a small flaw in KM and kill him like crazy."

"Stop talking! Panzer! My God!"

They won the game without any suspense.

The scorecard numbers on the big screen flashed and slowly moved up one digit.

Manager Chen started counting on his fingers: "We're a team that's going to be champions, and yet we don't have a team base, uniforms, flag, or logo. This is too casual!"

"The team base doesn't have money yet, but other things can be arranged," Leng Zhi asked. "How much of the prize money from the city tournament is left over?"

This is understandable, as Tang Wenshi arrived late and had never seen Yu Fuwan fight on the border, so it's understandable that he had questions.

To allay the coach's concerns, Yu Fu immediately demonstrated it to Tang Wenshi.

The training device used by the team has a built-in single-hero training field, which allows for one-on-one training with AI robots.

The AI ​​used by professional players for training is not on the same level as the AI ​​opponents that ordinary players face in the game. It is a model that was customized by professional AI data analysts at a high price.

Although AI cannot yet handle complex 5V5 scenarios, it is still very challenging in one-on-one Solo matches.

Yu Fu pressed a random button, allowing the system to assign him an opponent.

Soon, the opponent's character was locked onto the blind monk, while Yu Fu was randomly assigned a spear-wielding warhorse.

Tang Wenshi's eyelids twitched involuntarily; this was a classic example of a restrained relationship.

The Blind Monk has the ability to kill opponents before reaching level four, while the Spear Rider requires a lot of gold and is a typical mid-game powerhouse.

However, Yu Fu ignored this and quickly entered the game, then showed off his skills to the coach.

He turned his spear-wielding cavalry into a ghostly assassin, always managing to seize a brilliant opportunity to sneakily stab the enemy and shave off a layer of health.

Manager Chen chuckled: "Report, there's still 50,000 left!"

She didn't know why she trusted this small, makeshift operation with pitifully little funding, which might not be able to pay her salary at any time.

Perhaps this is the charm of esports.

This amount of money was more than enough to cover the team's material expenses. However, considering that a large amount of travel expenses would be incurred in the coming month, Leng Zhi opened his phone and transferred another 50,000 yuan to the company account.

"You use it first, and I'll get more if you need it."

"The boss is so generous!" Manager Chen praised.

Because Boss Xiao is still in a cold war with Old Man Yu, and the other team members have no income or savings, the team's current operating expenses are basically supported by Leng Zhi alone—or more accurately, by Boss Jiang's selfless donation.

A few days ago, Jiang Yijing found another reason to raise Leng Zhi's monthly salary to 100,000.

“The kindergarten teacher praised Mingzhe for being very well-behaved; this is the increase you deserve.”

Leng Zhi found it a bit baffling—the teachers at the elite kindergarten all praised the children with honeyed words, and no one's child wasn't praised every day.

However, he was still moved and signed the contract.

"Oh, by the way, I added a clause to the contract that, considering you're currently holding two jobs, I hope I'll have the authority to visit your team in person to get a better understanding of the situation."

This is a unique feature of esports events, as the players' names often reflect their personalities, which fans love to talk about.

Without hesitation, Yu Fu replied, "Of course, we already have that."

Manager Chen exclaimed in alarm: "Why didn't anyone tell me? Shouldn't this have been reported to and discussed with the manager?"

Yu Fu coughed twice, seemingly oblivious to his manager's displeasure: "It's not too late to know now."

No wonder Zou Shu asserted that he seemed to have found Yu Fu. Such a double coincidence was hard not to make one's heart race.

There was a long silence on the phone. Zou Shu waited for a while, but when he didn't get the captain's comment, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you finished reading it? My dad forwarded it to me. He saw it somewhere and asked me if I wanted to go pro, saying that the salary offered there is more than I can earn washing dishes at the restaurant."

Leng Zhi asked, "I also think it's highly likely to be him. Have you contacted him in person?"

Speaking of this, Zou Shu couldn't help but sigh: "Sigh, don't even mention it. I immediately sent an application email, and even bolded and underlined my name and the heroes I usually play, but I still haven't received a reply."

Leng Zhi narrowed his eyes: "What time did you send it?"

Zou Shu thought for a moment: "At night... three o'clock?"

Leng Zhi: "...What time is it now?"

Zou Shu: "Oh right, was I too impatient?"

Leng Zhi: "..."

[Are you crazy? You're crippling the marksman and jungler to give the mid laner a free economy? How can you win like that?]

Isn't this a marksman-centric meta? How can mid-lane mages still be viable?
