The ADC is Still Maintaining a Persona [Esports]

There's a trash-talker in the esports scene who has a foul mouth but excellent skills. They've made countless enemies in the professional circle, living on hot searches 366 days a year, wit...

Chapter 52 Why are your hands shaking?

There is a generally accepted rule in the professional circle that talent is more important than hard work. As long as a person is talented enough, even if he is a newcomer, he will become a sought-after person.

Lin Chong'an is such a person. He is very talented. To be fair, his talent ranks at the top of the talent list in the e-sports circle. Therefore, since his debut, he has been called "a newcomer who changes the times" by fans.

The starting point is high, the performance is outstanding, and the future development may be even more amazing.

Such a talented player should be the core of the team, occupying the C position, and the team's resources and strategies will be tilted towards him.

Therefore, his most suitable position is ADC or mid laner.

This is what AWTG did. Their entire team system almost revolved around Lin Chong'an throughout the whole process, and they worshipped Lin Chong'an like a god.

And now the team's hope actually told He Xiaoxi that he was going to transfer to ITG Club, and his position would be the support who was most likely to be blamed in the entire team.

He Xiaoxi felt like his worldview had collapsed.

He sent a few awkward emojis: [Oh my god, you’re such a jokester.]

[AWTG, Lin Chong'an: Please state the conditions.]

He Xiaoxi was surprised: [Huh? What conditions?]

[AWTG, Lin Chong'an: How much money do you have to pay the club every month to let me play support?]

He Xiaoxi: “…”

He Xiaoxi: Oh God, don't scare me.

AWTG, Lin Chong'an: If you won't hire me even if I pay you, then what are you going to do? I donate 500,000 yuan to the club every year and let me play as a support.

He Xiaoxi was helpless.

The reason why we can’t recruit Lin Chongan into the team is not because of money.

This is a question of whether the AWTG team manager will storm into the ITG clubhouse and kill him.

Seeing that He Xiaoxi didn't speak for a long time, Lin Chong'an became anxious and spoke again quickly.

[AWTG, Lin Chong'an: One million, no more. If it's any higher, I'll drag my goddess and form our own team.]

Lin Chong'an mentioned the word "goddess" twice, and Squid couldn't help but ask curiously: "Lin Chong'an, do you know our little princess?"

Lin Chong'an's hands were very fast and the message was sent within a few seconds.

[AWTG, Lin Chong'an: Hahahaha, what the hell? You call her a little princess?]

ITG, Squid: Nonsense, what else can a girl be called if not "little princess"?

Seeing the squid's innocent and clueless reply, Lin Chongan laughed so hard that he slammed the table.

They must be sane to call the well-known troll in the e-sports circle the little princess.

Have you all forgotten how this little princess scolded the e-sports players so much that their mothers couldn’t find them?

Little princess? How dare they call her that?

They will all be on the same team from now on. Lin Chongan wants to tell them that the little princess is the master who will dominate the world.

After thinking about it, I decided that it might be more fun to let them discover it themselves.

[AWTG, Lin Chong'an: Hahaha, you really don't know who she is.]

[AWTG, Lin Chong'an: You can call her Little Princess.]

ITG, Squid: What do you mean?

[AWTG, Lin Chong'an: It doesn't mean anything, just don't regret this name later.]

Lin Chongan's words, which seemed to be neither said nor not said, completely confused the squid, who was already not very smart.

At this time, He Xiaoxi and Xing Changan had almost finished their discussion.

They all felt that it was nothing to be hunted down by AWTG for a good seedling.

For the team's championship, they can accept any sacrifice.

He Xiaoxi: Chongshen, I've discussed this with our coach and we think you're a perfect fit for our team. You don't have to pay anything extra, just a normal annual salary. It's just... your salary is much higher than a normal support salary. Our team is a small operation and we can't afford it.

[AWTG, Lin Chong'an: Was Mia's salary high at ITG before?]

He Xiaoxi: He has the lowest annual salary in the team.

[AWTG, Lin Chong'an: Then just give me his annual salary.]

[AWTG, Lin Chong'an: Don't worry, I will handle AWTG's termination fee.]

[AWTG, Lin Chong'an: To show my sincerity, I will complete the contract before the Demacia Cup.]

[AWTG, Lin Chong'an: If my goddess goes to the team training in the next few days, remember to let me know so I can go train too.]

After a long time, Cuzui finally understood Lin Chong'an's purpose.

ITG, Squid: Good fellow, you joined our team just to covet our little princess, you shameless bastard.

[AWTG, Lin Chong'an: Hmm? Or am I coveting you? That's inappropriate.]

ITG, Squid: ...

Shen Weiqi sent Jiang Zhi and Zhou Suihe back to school.

Zhou Suihe talked excitedly all the way, "Hahaha, it's hilarious when I think of Bill's frustrated look. Chicken God, tell me, was he trying to make things difficult for me on purpose? Hahaha, with so many people here, you and Zhizhi are the best. He avoided you and chose Jiangzhi instead, hahaha."

Zhou Suihe's voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of people around him.

Shen Weiqi was wearing a mask, so it didn't matter if people looked at him a few times, but it made things difficult for Jiang Zhi, who hadn't prepared anything.

She didn't like being the center of attention, so she tugged at Zhou Suihe's clothes a few times and said, "Be good, let's go home and have some fun."

"You beat the pro players! You're an internet celebrity now, so what if I yell a few times?" Zhou Suihe said confidently. "I just want the whole world to know that my Zhizhi is the best ADC in the entire LPL. Not even Mu Chongyang can beat you."

Jiang Zhi tried to stop him but to no avail: "It's okay, then go on."

Shen Weiqi, who had not spoken for a long time, stared at Jiang Zhi for a long time along the way, and suddenly asked: "Zhizhi, do you not like crowds?"

Jiang Zhi asked back: "Why do you say that?"

"When you were playing against Bill just now, I noticed that your playstyle was different from what you did in the booth before," Shen Weiqi said. "Although your mechanics were still very delicate, your awareness and positioning were full of loopholes. If you were facing a top-tier ADC instead of Bill, you'd be in big trouble."

"Chicken God, now that you mention it, I've noticed it too," Zhou Suihe said. "Normally, Zhizhi wouldn't be attacked twice in a row by her opponent, but just now, Bill chased her and slashed her twice."

"Are you afraid?"

Jiang Zhi thought about it carefully and replied, "No, I was a little scared when I first competed with Bill, but later I was inspired by him and I wasn't so scared anymore."

"Why are your hands shaking?"

Shen Weiqi's question seemed to touch her heart all of a sudden. Jiang Zhi raised her hand, raised it to her chest, and looked at it carefully for a few times.

The ten slender fingers were shaking at a amplitude visible to the naked eye, very subtle but very violent.

Indeed, it is shaking.

Are you too excited about playing games just now and haven't recovered yet, or are you afraid of something?

Jiang Zhi herself didn't know.

If Shen Weiqi hadn't said this, she might not have noticed that her hands were shaking when she got to the dormitory.

Zhou Suihe panicked, her earlier happiness fading. She held Jiang Zhi's hand, feeling the intensity of her shaking, and asked with concern, "Zhizhi, your hands weren't shaking just now in the cubicle of the internet cafe. You're not still scared of your mother, are you? Didn't she agree that you could become a professional player? What are you afraid of?"

For a professional e-sports player, his hands are everything. If his hands keep shaking and he cannot perform the expected operations, then everything is over.

Jiang Zhi didn't know why she suddenly became like this: "I don't know either. I didn't know it was shaking."

Shen Weiqi frowned.

Jiang Zhi didn't know, but he seemed to understand something.

It's like people have a deep-seated fear of darkness, but if a person stays in the darkness for a long time and then comes into the light, it's natural to feel a little afraid.

The same goes for ginger branches.

She had been deeply afraid of her mother not allowing her to play games, and now she was suddenly told that she could play games to her heart's content.

She felt a little timid and wanted to protect herself.

Shen Weiqi said: "You go to the cafeteria first, I'll go find someone."

"Okay." Jiang Zhi responded obediently.

She knew that if her hands continued to shake like this, her e-sports career would remain a pipe dream.

Jiang Zhi and Zhou Suihe waited in the cafeteria for nearly an hour and a half before Shen Weiqi hurried over, dragging He Xiaoxi with him.

While He Xiaoxi complained about Shen Weiqi's inhumanity that made him unable to eat dinner, he quickly found Jiang Zhi's location.

He Xiaoxi was surprised to see Jiang Zhi, but then immediately greeted her warmly, "Zhizhi, it's really you. The first time we met, I knew you were a strong player in League of Legends. How could I have guessed that? Look at you now, who on the Internet isn't afraid of you? You made the right decision to join ITG. Everyone knows that our team is the strongest among the four top teams. Let me tell you, I can't guarantee that you'll have good things in ITG, but we can still easily win championships."

Shen Weiqi urged anxiously: “Why are you talking so much? Test her first.”

"Chen Weiqi, are you crazy? The little princess is so normal, her psychological quality must be passed, what's the test?" He Xiaoxi continued, "Joining a professional team doesn't have so many rules. As long as you operate well, it's fine. I've been in this industry for so many years and my psychological quality has never failed."

Shen Weiqi: "Hurry up."

After He Xiaoxi finished speaking, he smiled at Jiang Zhi and said, "Zhizhi, don't be afraid. We will just do a normal psychological stress tolerance test. Just write it down truthfully. Don't be nervous."

Jiang Zhi nodded and took the test paper handed over by He Xiaoxi.

He wrote the above content slowly and handed it over.

Jiang Zhi was a little nervous. The questions were simple, but not simple either. Sometimes the content of the two questions was similar, but her answers were completely different.

After He Xiaoxi became an e-sports manager, in order to save the team's expenses, he specially took a psychoanalyst certificate.

At this time, he was holding Jiang Zhi's test paper, his expression gradually became solemn, and he seemed to have some self-doubt after reading to the end.

After trying it again a few times, he looked up in surprise.

After staring at Jiang Zhi for a while, he turned around and said to Shen Weiqi, "What has she been through?"

"What's wrong?" Shen Weiqi asked.

"She failed the psychological aptitude test...?"
