Chapter 5 Jinjiang Novel Reading Exclusive: Born with a Cold Personality. ...
Unlike most FPS games, few people play sniper in high-end Apex games, because this game has a lot of heroes with charge and teleport skills, and the map is smaller than most chicken-eating games. The enemy will be in your face in the blink of an eye, and there is almost no environment where you can hold the gun and aim steadily.
The sniper is the position that is most dependent on the output environment. If there is a sniper in the team, you have to risk your life to break through.
As a specialized breakthrough player, Shi Jing's biggest annoyance is having snipers in the team. These types of people basically fit the stereotype that they can't deal any damage for a long time, and then turn around and blame their teammates for not providing them with an output environment.
If he had to risk his life to give Lu Zhiye the output space... he might as well fire a burst of friendly fire first.
After leaving the conference room, Shi Jing thought about it for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Wasn't the SFD manager trying too hard to keep him?
I am used to this kind of treatment at EVG, so I just felt a little strange and didn't think much about it.
But now he is just an ordinary youth trainee, and a youth trainee who had extremely poor results in the previous trials. If Shi Jing didn't know his life background, he would have suspected that he had received the trial invitation letter because of connections.
This sudden extra training was already a bit strange, and the manager took so much effort to call him to the office for a private talk. It could be said that he was trying his best to retain him. To say that it was just out of politeness would be too exaggerated.
It's so weird.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Unable to figure out what the evil was, Shi Jing became more and more convinced that there was something fishy going on with SFD.
But it didn't matter. After a couple of days, when everyone got the results, they would have a meal and the process would be completed, and then he could say goodbye to the club completely. Out of sight, out of mind.
"Sweetheart!" They finally got away from the manager, but before they could get a few seconds of peace and quiet, Matt smelled something and came over. "Sweetheart, why did you come out of the manager's office?"
They were worried about their brothers' hardship, and also worried about them driving Land Rover cars. The meeting only released data; the final results of everyone's contracts were still unknown. Now the young trainees were on high alert. Anyone who was pulled into the office for a private interview would be caught in their intelligence network, fearing that someone had secretly signed a contract without telling them.
Shi Jing shook the coffee he had brought out before leaving: "I'm going to drink it for free."
Matt suddenly realized, "Holy crap! That's awesome! Why didn't I think of that? The manager's office tea room is definitely fancier than ours."
It was indeed high-end. A broken coffee machine covered in foreign language, and he pressed the buttons for a long time without any response.
Shi Jing had become immune to the pretentious aura that was everywhere on SFD's screen, and was ready to wait for the elevator to go upstairs. Anyway, he could use the equipment in the training room freely before the end of the youth training, so he might as well use it.
When I reached the corner of the corridor, I saw several people blocking the way.
"What's this for?"
"I don't know. I just got here too. It seems like a female anchor is here."
"Which female anchor?"
"Who else could it be? The most famous teacher in the Apex Zone, Tao Xiaoman."
"Fuck, Tao Xiaoman is coming to SFD?"
"Tao Xiaoman?" Matt suddenly reacted violently, "Where is Tao Xiaoman?"
There are many female streamers in Apex, but few have unique personalities that Shi Jing can remember. Tao Xiaoman is one of them.
"Inside." The person next to him pursed his lips at the closed glass door. "She came with a bunch of gifts. What else do you think everyone is here to see? Tao Xiaoman is confessing her love to Lu Shen."
Matt: “Huh?”
Matt was dumbfounded.
Shi Jing was surprised by his silence for the first time: "What's wrong?"
"..." Matt's expression was wonderful, "Tao Xiaoman... is my sister."
Shi Jing: “?”
Shi Jing looked at Matt carefully.
Matt: "What?!"
Shi Jing: “Not really.”
Matt: “…”
Matt: "Is it my cousin who's not okay? Is it really that hurtful? No, the point now is... why did my sister suddenly come to SFD and confess her love to Lu Shen? Wasn't she still going to marry that famous singer named Pei yesterday? Has she changed again??"
The hall is covered with anti-peep glass, so you can't see what's going on inside from the outside. You can only barely see the outlines of some balloons and gifts.
It seems that what they said about the female anchor boldly pursuing Lu Zhiye is true.
Shi Jing turned around, walked around the crowd and pressed the elevator button.
"Why don't you stay and take a look?" Matt followed.
"What's so good about it?" Shi Jing's phone vibrated, and he took it out to unlock it.
Matt: "Let's see if my sister can succeed. That's God Lu! I don't know what's wrong with her to have such a dream...but what if?"
The vibration of his phone was due to two pop-up reminders he had set up to submit his resume.
Inexplicably, looking at this interface, Shi Jing remembered the long list of reminders called "Confession" that he saw on Lu Zhiye's phone after the tryout.
It was obvious that he was planning to confess his feelings to someone else.
Shi Jing paused.
He clicked OK on both windows and stepped into the open elevator: "Not interested, you can see for yourself."
The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed because of the obstruction of their view.
Behind a glass wall, female anchor Tao Xiaoman casually tossed the flowers aside and looked at the unmoved man in front of the computer: "Why exactly? You have to give me a reason if you reject me. Don't you want to find someone in the same industry? Or are you prejudiced against people in the same industry?"
"No."
"Then why?" Tao Xiaoman's eyes rolled. "Could it be that... you've been hurt in love and don't want to believe in love anymore? Do you have someone else in your heart?"
No response.
Tao Xiaoman: “…”
Tao Xiaoman: "Are you really not interested in dating at all?"
Lu Zhiye raised his eyelids and glanced at her.
Two seconds, then he looked away: "Not interested."
Tao Xiaoman: “…”
It's okay to refuse, but before that he even glanced at her. Tao Xiaoman always felt that this glance was not very hurtful but extremely insulting.
Youth training room.
Everyone is downstairs reading gossip, it's hard to have some peace and quiet.
The tryout performances brought back Shi Jing's desire to play, which he hadn't done in a while, but he couldn't fully display his skills, so he might as well try it out now.
The account used for the trial was given by the club, but it is no longer usable, so Shi Jing registered a new account.
Just after changing the game settings, the door of the youth training room was pushed open with a bang.
Matt walked in chattering with his cousin Tao Xiaoman.
"I knew you were here, Sweetie! Save me!" Matt's voice echoed throughout the hall. "No, sister, God Lu rejected you, why did you pinch me?"
Not feeling surprised, Shi Jing put on headphones.
Having just given Lu Zhiye the cold shoulder, Tao Xiaoman puffed up her cheeks and asked, "Why are all you SFD people the same?"
Matt: "What's the same?"
Shi Jing: "Who is the same as him?"
The two said in unison.
The youth training room was silent for two seconds.
Tao Xiaoman looked at Shi Jing in confusion.
Shi Jing's hand holding the headphones paused.
Matt: "Sweetheart, please judge for yourself. My sister is one of the best female streamers in Apex. She's top of the charts in terms of skills, and her looks are beyond reproach. She was rejected in less than ten minutes. There must be some major issue of principle. Sister, did Lu Shen reject you because you're always bashing people?"
"You're talking nonsense." In less than a moment, Tao Xiaoman had completely gotten over the frustration of being rejected, or maybe she had never felt frustrated at all.
She rolled her eyes at Matt: "Lu Zhiye is just born with a cold personality."
Matt: "Frigidity??"
Tao Xiaoman: “…”
Tao Xiaoman: "Personality, cold, indifferent!"
"..." Matt was silent for a few seconds, "That seems to be the case."
"What is it?"
"I haven't heard of any news about Lu Shen getting close to anyone, nor have I seen him have a girlfriend. He always seems to be aloof and quiet."
"That's weird," Tao Xiaoman said. "If I were handsome, rich, and good at gaming, there's no way I'd stay single forever."
Matt had a shocking thought: "Could it be that God Lu doesn't like girls?"
"Girls?" Tao Xiaoman casually lifted her hair. "Forget girls. I doubt Lu Zhiye even likes humans."
The two people's voices came through the headphones, and Shi Jing glanced at the phone screen inexplicably.
Don't like humans?
Cold personality?
Who is reminded by the series of life-threatening confessions of having anything to do with these two words?
Shi Jing sneered lightly after a half-second of silence for the unlucky guy who was spotted by Lu Zhiye.
In order to maintain his cool persona, this guy hides his showy side very well.
-
"Brother Lu." A teammate knocked on the door of the SFD team's dedicated training room.
The lights in the SFD training room have always been on, but since the exhibition games ended, the situation has become increasingly severe. Now it's used almost from morning till night, and often there's only one person inside.
The one knocking on the door was Zhou Lian, the breakthrough player of the SFD team. Basically, every team has two main output players who have a relationship as close as brothers, but SFD seems to be an exception.
But Lu Zhiye treats everyone like this.
After a long time without receiving a response, Zhou Li'an took a few steps forward and said, "Brother Lu, the coach said he has a meeting."
"Yeah." Lu Zhiye took off his headphones and stood up.
He had been sitting in front of the camera for a long time. Zhou Lian thought Lu Zhiye was playing solo to maintain his touch like before, so he wanted to see how many games he had played today. He walked closer and glanced at his phone.
In order to make it easier for the players, SFD also installed a mobile phone holder next to the computer, which can be seen by slightly turning the face.
It is a WeChat interface.
I couldn't see who it was, I just knew that they sent many messages, but Lu Zhiye didn't reply at all.
The next second, she met Lu Zhiye's eyes.
"Not leaving?" She said without waiting for him.
Those dark eyes made people inexplicably daunted. Zhou Li'an followed with a guilty conscience: "Oh oh... here it comes."
"Brother Lu." When he reached the conference room door, he remembered the speech he had prepared. "Can we play duo after the meeting? I want to get some points on my account. I was so busy preparing for the competition that I almost fell off the hunting leaderboard..."
Speaking of this, it seems that Lu Zhiye has no obligation to help him rank up. Even when playing in competitions, he can keep his three accounts in the top five, and Lu Zhiye has not teamed up with anyone during this period.
Zhou Lian: "If you don't want to fight, I'll go..."
"Can."
"Yes?" Zhou Lian was overjoyed. "Okay, okay, thank you, Brother Lu!"
The meeting was nothing more than a review of some previous issues, and most of the time they were talking about the other three teammates. Lu Zhiye listened quietly on the side.
After the meeting, everyone except him was scolded. The head coach walked over and asked, "Xiao Lu, I heard... what's going on with that young player we signed recently? I heard from Old Liu that he's undisciplined and his skills aren't very stable. Did you personally nominate him?"
"How is that possible?" Before Lu Zhiye could say anything, Jiang Yuan beside him raised his voice, "Brother Lu never watches the youth training. He doesn't even know how many sessions we're in. Which genius is so prestigious that my brother can personally name him? Right, Da Zhuang."
"?" Da Zhuang said, "I don't have a name?"
"Hey, hurry up and cooperate."
"No."
Ignoring the bickering among the elementary school students over there, the head coach thought about it and it seemed to be the case.
"That's fine, it's probably just Old Liu who's a chatterbox and has wild imaginations."
He held the tablet, said something like "If you have nothing to do at night, practice more on your own initiative" and hurried out.
Rumor has it that a selected youth trainee is rejecting the fat manager for the second time.
"I won't sign." Shi Jing sat across from the desk with his arms folded across his chest.
"..." The fat manager persuaded him for half an hour straight. He was almost exhausted and even took several gulps of water. "Tell me the truth, did anyone in SFD offend you?"
Shi Jing didn't say anything.
The fat manager said: "That's it! Why didn't you tell me earlier? This is easy to handle. Just tell me who offended you secretly, and I will help you mediate."
“You can’t mediate.”
"How could I not be able to mediate? I'm the general manager! There's nothing I can't mediate in this club."
So you go fire your boss?
Shi Jing raised his eyebrows, imagining the funny scene, and was too lazy to waste any more time with the fat manager: "I told you that you can't mediate, and I won't sign the contract. You'd better go to bed and don't waste your time on me."
"Just explain it clearly... Hey, don't leave!"
Shi Jing ran as fast as he could, patted the elevator door frantically, and quickly got in, fearing that he would be caught up by this crazy manager again.
After getting off the elevator and walking a few steps forward, he realized something seemed wrong.
Wrong floor.
Shi Jing: “…”
SFD designers are really idle.
I would like to ask, with such a small number of people in your entire base, what are you doing designing an elevator that runs on three floors?
It looks like this floor is the layout of the players' dormitory.
OK.
Then using a separate elevator is barely understandable.
Shi Jing wasn't interested in visiting the players' rooms. On his way back, he casually spotted a few Team 1 IDs. Not surprisingly, he also spotted Lu Zhiye's room.
Shi Jing paused for less than half a second. Just as he was about to go back and press the elevator button to go downstairs, the door next to him suddenly opened.
It’s the cleaning lady.
The aunt was obviously very professional. She was not surprised to see Shi Jing. She smiled at him and nodded, then pushed the tools to open the next door.
Shi Jing stepped aside a few steps, but before he realized it, the cleaning lady opened Lu Zhiye's room in front of him.
It's unlikely that this was the only property owned by the SFD home team; the rooms were simply for them to stay in during training. Even so, the luxurious furnishings and decor were immediately apparent, with even the single room being designed as a suite, complete with a separate entrance.
He didn't want to know what Lu Zhiye's room looked like at all. Shi Jing turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound behind him.
"oops……"
Shi Jing looked back.
Several large boxes leaning against the wall were knocked over by the cleaning truck and were about to hit the cleaner.
He quickly took two steps at a time and rushed over to catch the fallen box.
The cleaner was surprised for a moment and quickly said, "Thank you, thank you, I can do it myself..."
"It's okay." Shi Jing helped pick up the things on the ground.
The moment he bent down, his eyes fixed.
This is so...
Isn't this his thing?
His custom keyboard, headphones, mouse, and even team jersey and backpack???
All of them were things he had used.
