He Youjin had every reason to believe that the team he led was born to attract bad luck.
Even though their performance against Sabretooth was truly spectacular, finally earning them a wave of fans, these guys got cocky. Before they even left the arena, they were already trash-talking the massive, high-definition microphone. The on-stage director didn't even have time to unplug the power cord.
You have to know that a large number of e-sports enthusiasts are stubborn and hard-headed, and are most likely to develop a rebellious mentality towards equally stubborn players. Therefore, before they have the chance to be assigned to this team, they turn around and evolve into trolls.
[You're so proud of yourself after just winning the group stage? 】
Is it okay to brag in the team? This is the strongest hunter in Wangling. Aren't you afraid of becoming the next Dylan?
I felt like my performance was just average. It was mainly due to good luck. The opponents I drew were pretty weak, and Sabertooth didn't play well.
[They started mocking Dylan after they beat him. It seems like everyone on this team has a bad character. Where's the competitive spirit that prioritizes friendship? If you can't be a fan, I'll never see you again.]
......
He Youjin wished he could cover the mouths of each of these people with plasters.
But unfortunately, this group of people were all big-hearted. After learning that their words had been leaked, they just expressed their regret very perfunctorily, and then pushed each other out of the soundproof room happily.
"Such a big happy event must be celebrated! Well, we are not in a hurry to go back, let's find a place to drink!" Zhou Yanjun said.
"I think it's fine. I'm not sleepy at all now." Shi Ya said, "I'm looking for a place that offers a one-stop service of drinking, dancing, and eating."
"Drink?" Lin Mingfei heard this and immediately looked at Xia Tong: "Can you drink?"
"Why can't I drink?" Xia Tong asked.
"Are you an adult?" Lin Mingfei said, "I get nervous every time Debang reads the 'International Protection Law for Omegas of Minors' to me."
"You're an adult now! Debang was just trying to scare you!" Xia Tong was in high spirits and said nonchalantly, "I've never drunk alcohol in my life! I'm so excited just thinking about it!"
"You've never had a drink in your life? When I was your age, I already had my own wine cabinet. Xia Xiaotong, your life is incomplete!" Shi Ya said with a smile.
"Don't listen to his nonsense." Lin Mingfei rolled her eyes at Shi Ya. "He has so many bad habits. He's a typical example of the opposite."
A group of people were walking back along the curb, laughing and joking. Xia Tong was in a very good mood, smiling and playing with her phone.
"Are you browsing Weibo or forums?" Lin Mingfei, who had been leaning against him and walking on his outside, asked with interest, lowering her head.
"Ah, nothing, I'm chatting with the goblin!" said Xia Tong.
"Why are you chatting with him?" Lin Mingfei curled her lips: "Do you have much to talk about with him now?"
"I want to ask him if he wants to hang out with me tonight. It's more lively with more people!" Xia Tong said. He typed a long invitation in the chat box, but before he pressed send, he suddenly paused, as if remembering something. He said blankly, "That's not right. They lost the game. Shouldn't they be busy reviewing it when they go back?"
"Are you stupid?" Zhou Yanjun said gloatingly, "They're not only busy reviewing the case tonight, they're also busy holding a trial. It's going to be quite lively."
Xia Tong blinked, a hint of worry flashing across her brows.
"Judge...who?" he asked in a low voice.
"Who else could it be? Of course it's the incompetent and pretentious Dylan!" Zhou Yanjun said, "He's been humiliated to the point of being thrown out of the solar system today. A team like Sabretooth, who prioritizes individual performance over anything else, will definitely give him a hard time!"
"His value will plummet." Bo Yu added expressionlessly.
"Yes, yes, he is the TOP1 hunter player in Wangling. So many endorsements and interviews are for this gimmick. His face was so shiny before, but it is so swollen today! Zero's methods are too dirty, hahahaha!" Zhou Yanjun said.
Xia Tong breathed a sigh of relief, barely audible, and chuckled softly, "That's good, it's Dylan."
"What's wrong?" Lin Mingfei asked in a low voice: "If it's not Dylan, who do you think it is?"
"I thought it would be the other four Sabretooths." Xia Tong said. He raised his hand and tugged at the corner of Lin Mingfei's clothes. He stood on tiptoe and leaned close to Lin Mingfei's ear as if to whisper something. "I feel like Dylan was being played by the four Goblins today."
Lin Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Xia Tong pouted in dissatisfaction: "Am I feeling wrong? If I feel wrong, then don't laugh at me!"
"No, no, I just feel that Blink has grown up and matured. His vision has become sharper and more vicious." Lin Mingfei smiled and said, "Your feeling is absolutely correct. This is the truth."
"Ah!" Xia Tong seemed to be thinking: "If they are like this, they are just seeking revenge for their grudges and redressing their grievances——"
"So, you should be more kind as a person." Lin Mingfei stretched out a finger and shook it: "Otherwise you will be like Dylan."
"Alright, can we talk in the car if we have anything to say?" He Youjin shouted impatiently from the front, "I'm really impressed by you guys. Do you want to get a small private room for two just for you two to sit down and chat?"
"That's great." Lin Mingfei replied shamelessly.
He Youjin: "Okay, you're a jerk."
After getting in the car, Lin Mingfei suddenly seemed to think of something and nudged the little Omega beside her with her elbow.
"Oh, right," he said. "If I were you, I'd go and extort money from the goblins right now."
"Blackmail the goblins? How?" Xia Tong asked in confusion.
"That's easy. Just threaten him. If he doesn't treat you to a meal, you'll expose the fact that the four of them are playing Dylan." Lin Mingfei said cunningly.
Xia Tong's eyebrows drooped, and she groaned for a long time, "Do you want me to learn from Ping Shuai? He had a miserable end! And--" The little Omega narrowed his eyes and glared at him, "Didn't you just say that people should be kind!"
Lin Mingfei: “.”
Well, this little thing is getting more and more cunning now, and it’s not as easy to fool as before.
"Boring." Lin Mingfei rolled his eyes in boredom, glancing out the window. Then, he saw a stretcher being carried out of the venue by a group of people.
The crowd was a little out of control. They were probably just onlookers who were watching the fun. They were chasing and blocking the road ahead. He Youjin had to ask their driver to stop driving, stay there for a while, and wait for the crowd to disperse before leaving.
The people at Polaris didn't pay much attention. Young Master Shi, the top playboy, was extremely efficient. Before the car even started to meet the hotel, he had already confirmed the pub where they would go dancing that night and even reserved a booth. If Xia Xiaotong's coat wasn't damp and needed to be changed, they might not even have planned to go back to the hotel and would have just gone out for fun.
After returning to the hotel, all the Polaris members went back to their rooms to change clothes and pack their belongings. Xia Tong changed into clean casual clothes, scrubbed his coat that was soiled by Dylan, and hung it out to dry.
At this moment, the cell phone he threw on the bed suddenly started vibrating wildly.
Xia Tong thought something serious had happened, so she quickly wiped her hands and hurriedly sat down on the edge of the bed. She picked up her phone, unlocked the screen and checked, and found that their team group [Polaris Beauty Club] was flooded with messages from He Youjin.

[Beat up straight-A Gary He: I was worried Dylan was going to sell some inspirational persona of "not leaving the front lines even with minor injuries," but I never expected that! Their team is even more ruthless than I thought!]
He posted a screenshot to the WeChat group. It was a notice letter, still unstamped with the red official seal, but the letterhead was clearly and officially written. It mentioned the Sabretooth Tiger team's changed starting lineup, but Dylan's name was not on the list, replaced by an unfamiliar ID.
