"The HOT team said they had something urgent to do and will not play today." Yan Jin put down his phone and said with a frown.

"What could it be? They just wanted to use us to try out new players. If they feel the situation is not good, they don't want to play anymore."

Roll said as if it was normal, "They have a game tomorrow, and they probably wanted to help the players regain confidence, but they didn't expect us to beat them, so they're probably worried that it will affect the players' mentality."

Is this possible?

Lin Mi was also speechless.

It was his first training match, but he failed before he could even start his business. It was too ridiculous.

"You'll know after playing more training matches,"

Rong Zezhou patted Lin Mi on the shoulder and consoled him, "When top teams from other regions are willing to schedule training matches with new teams like us, there are usually tricks involved. For example, those who quit halfway through the game are nothing. There are also those who specify specific tactics and require us to play according to their arrangements and help them test their tactics."

"But this training match is far from being decided," Lin Mi took off his headphones a little unhappily, "Their ADC is developing very well, they may not lose in the later stages."

"That's true, but they don't have the confidence to continue the fight. There's nothing we can do, right?"

Roll complained, "HOT never turns the game around. They are the best in the first 15 minutes. Basically, if they don't have an advantage after 15 minutes, it's GG."

Yan Jin also commented: "I think the direction of their substitutions this time was not right. Their new bottom lane duo obviously lacked offensiveness and the team's execution was also not good enough. That wave of four-on-one was a big mistake."

Although the four members of the HOT team successfully killed Lin Mi in the end, the price they paid was too high.

If they team up to defend the middle lane, the middle lane tower will not necessarily be pushed down, and the second dragon and the bottom lane tower will not be lost.

As the party taking the initiative to attack, it is a very stupid decision not to consider the consequences of a failed attack.

"It's mainly because Xiaomi handled it beautifully,"

Rong Zezhou praised his own ADC generously, "If he hadn't cleared the minion line in time, HOT team would have been able to push down the bottom lane tower."

Lin Mi's ears turned red and he secretly kicked Rong Zezhou, signaling him to stop talking.

"Well, Xiaomi did a good job on that one."

Yan Jin also praised Lin Mi, "The choice of moving forward to clear the minions was a very good one, forcing the opponent's mid and jungle to use their ultimates, which provided an advantage for the teammates to take the dragon and push back the tower."

Roll also said: "Xiaomi's thinking is very clear. The decision to let Shu Ran take the line alone is very smart. It is precisely because of this wave that the HOT team was forced to let go of the vanguard. In order to stop the loss, they made the decision to take over so desperately."

Hua Shuran nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

Zhuo Yang couldn't help but speak up: "The information Xiaomi provided was very accurate. I heard the boat god ask him about the opponent's position and skill information several times. I don't know how he managed to remember so much information while being pressed under the tower to last hit."

Hua Shuran continued to nod in agreement.

Hai Ge, who had no gaming experience except for TPing once to defend the bottom lane tower, picked up his teacup again and said with emotion: "It's good to be young."

Lin Mi: ...

Enough is enough. If you keep praising me, my mentality will collapse!

Lin Mi knew very well that his teammates were deliberately praising him to build up his confidence.

If Ji Feng had played in the training match just now, then after Zhuo Yang helped the bottom lane at level 3, Ji Feng and Hua Shuran would definitely be able to suppress the opponent, and they would not have to find ways to plot against the opponent.

But no matter what, he felt pretty good after playing his first training match. The experience of bearing pressure alone in the bottom lane was not as terrible as he had imagined.

Maybe his teammates put too much pressure on the opponent, or maybe the heroes chosen by the opponent's bottom lane duo were a bit too conservative. Although he had been resisting pressure and last-hitting the tower, he actually only had a dozen fewer hits than the opponent's ADC.

Apart from the wave of soldiers that he deliberately gave to Hua Shuran, there would be no difference inside or outside!

"In short, everyone played well in this training match, and basically achieved the goals expected by the coaching staff."

Roll concluded, "Since the HOT team doesn't want to continue playing, let's start training normally. There is another training match tonight, and the personnel arrangements--"

Roll and Yan Jin exchanged a glance and said, "The coaching staff will reconsider this. Ji Feng, take care of your leg injury. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me, okay?"

Ji Feng nodded obediently.

The players of the WDG team all stood up from the computers used for the training match and returned to their seats. Lin Mi walked over and helped Ji Feng sit down, then said to Roll, "I'll take Gu Dong around the base and have a look."

Roll nodded in agreement, and reminded him, "Be careful, the competition will start in two days, and I don't want netizens to say that our team's ADC is Jhin."

Jhin, an ADC hero who limps in the canyon with a cane.

Lin Mi: ...

Amid Ji Feng's loud protests that he was not lame, Lin Mi pulled Gudong out of the training room.

When he first came in, because he was worried about Ji Feng's injury, Gudan didn't carefully observe the WDG team's base. Now that Lin Mi took him to the garden, he was surprised to realize how beautiful the environment here was.

The castle is full of medieval style, with a spacious courtyard, lush trees beside the walls, and green grass and colorful flowers under the trees.

On the grass in the middle of the courtyard, Da Tao was lying on his belly basking in the sun, while by the fountain in the middle of the courtyard, Zhu Sha was trying to scoop water from the fountain to drink.

Lin Mi quickly stepped forward and picked up Zhu Sha, complaining, "There are so many drinking fountains in the room for you, but you insist on drinking the water from the fountain. Aren't you afraid of getting an upset stomach?"

Zhu Sha has always had a weak stomach and would get sick if he ate the wrong canned cat food, so Lin Mi has always been very careful about his diet.

Unfortunately, Master Zhusha is not someone that a mere human like him can keep under control, so he can only ask for help—

"Da Tao, you must keep an eye on Zhu Sha from now on and don't let him go near the fountain again, okay?"

Lin Mi said seriously to Da Tao who came over and rubbed against him.

Gu Gu sneered, "Brother, do you really think your big peach has become a spirit? You can't even control Zhu Sha, and you still count on the big peach?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Da Tao humming in agreement, then took the cinnabar from Lin Mi and pushed it to the grass away from the fountain.

Zhu Sha resisted angrily: "Meow, woo, woo—"

Da Tao patted Zhu Sha's head soothingly with its large paw and pointed in the opposite direction of the fountain.

Vermillion: "Meow!"

Due to the huge difference in size, Zhusha finally failed in his resistance and was helplessly pressed down by Datao to bask in the sun on the grass. As he basked in the sun, he forgot his original thoughts, squinted his eyes, and fell asleep in Datao's soft fur.

Lin Mi gave the big peach a thumbs up to show his appreciation, then squinted at the antique and said, "My big peach hasn't become a spirit?"

The antique who was slapped in the face was full of grief and indignation: "After the founding of the country, you are not allowed to become a spirit!"

After taking Gudong for a walk around the base and visiting the dormitory, Lin Mi took him back to the training room.

In the training room, the players of the WDG team have already started today's rank practice seriously. They are all playing in the Canyon of Heroes, still duo-queuing with the top and jungle, and the bottom lane. Only Rong Zezhou is alone. Even the stranger mid laner who comes to him to kill cannot arouse his interest in the slightest.

Hearing the noise of Lin Mi coming in, Rong Zezhou immediately turned around to look at him and mouthed, "Double row."

Lin Mi first sent the antique to an empty seat and told him to play with it for a while, then turned to Rong Zezhou and said, "Ship God, you are going to die."

Rong Zezhou turned around suddenly and saw that the mid laner on the opposite side, who had been eager to walk under the defensive tower to give him a kill, saw that he did not move and actually dared to come up and try to steal his life.

Rong Zezhou quickly pinned down the opposing mid laner, and when he returned to the city, he looked back at Lin Mi again: "Come and duo row."

Lin Mi didn't say whether she agreed or not, but just stared at Rong Zezhou with a smile, which made Rong Zezhou look puzzled.

Brother Hai stole a glance at Rong Zezhou's computer screen, and then said meaningfully, "I say that mid laner, our team leader is indeed very good-looking, but you shouldn't let your lust blind you, okay? Your game has been black for half a day, why don't you take a look?"

Rong Zezhou then looked at his computer screen again, and sure enough, he was lying dead in the middle lane returning to the city.

Rong Zezhou: What the hell is attacking me?

Lin Mi smiled and said, "This is the consequence of standing in the middle of the road to return to the city without going into the bushes or retreating back to the tower. Antique, did you see it?"

Rong Zezhou: ...

Antique: Don’t cue, I can’t see anything!

After Rong Zezhou was resurrected at the fountain and updated his equipment, he carefully hid in the grass by the river and killed the enemy jungler who had just dared to attack him the moment he passed by. After that, the computer screen of the opposing jungler often turned black and white.

[Wild Huntress: Opposing midlaner, why are you so mad? I just picked up a kill when I passed by the midlane, do you have to keep chasing me to kill me? ]

[Clockwork Mage: Baoer, the opponent's mid laner is the God of Ship. ]

[Wild Huntress: TAT, Ship God, I was wrong. Next time, even if you only have one drop of blood left and dance in front of me, I will not touch you. Please let me go! ]

Facing the jungler's plea, Rong Zezhou showed no mercy. He controlled Leopard to step down from the dragon pit and sent the Leopard Woman, who was typing while fighting the dragon, back to the fountain for recuperation again.

The aloof and narrow-minded Ship God transformed into a Canyon Assassin, constantly shuttling in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to take lives. The opposing mid and jungle duo, who were unable to defeat him, simply stayed in the fountain and did not come out, while continuing to tease Rong Zezhou by typing on the public screen.

[Clockwork Genie: Someone just sent me a message saying that the Ship God was cheated last night. I didn’t believe it, but now I do.]

[Clockwork Genie: Aside from being cheated on, I really can't think of why you, the Ship God, are so irritable today. ]

[Wild Huntress: Is this true? Let me take a look.]

Rong Zezhou: What the hell?

[Wild Huntress: Fuck, it's actually true! Ship God, I was wrong. If I had known that you had endured so much pain yesterday, I would have definitely not hesitated to do it! ]

[Clockwork Genie: If killing us can make you forget the pain of last night and become happier, then go ahead, God of the Ship! ]

Rong Zezhou: What equipment should I buy if I want to bully the fountain?

Because Rong Zezhou's expression was too wonderful, Lin Mi couldn't help but come over and said: Puh.

Rong Zezhou's side had already started pushing the front tower, and Rong Zezhou replaced his six pieces of equipment with six Storm Swords, and then TPed to the opposite fountain to show his indignation towards the opposite mid and jungle.

"So this is why I don't like playing Canyon of Heroes,"

Rong Zezhou said seriously, "Because I always run into these weird people."

Lin Mi thought about what he had just said and took out his mobile phone to search for Rong Zezhou's joke. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he opened Weibo, he was stunned by the reply to the preview of last night's live broadcast that he forwarded.

[I only hear the laughter of the newcomers, but never the thunder of the oldcomers. ]

[Every explosion of a mine in the live broadcast room is the sound of the ship god's heart breaking. ]

[Before I joined the team, you always had to wait for my little sweetie every time you ranked. After I joined the team, there was no place for me in your room.]

[Don't talk nonsense about the previous part. I have inquired and found out that the boat god lives in the same room with Xiaomi.]

[Alas, these days, the person next to you may not be trustworthy——]

…

Lin Mi:? ?

Didn’t he just play a few games in duo with Ji Feng?

And he was duo-queuing with Rong Zezhou last night. How come he turned out to be such a heartless person without us noticing?

Rong Zezhou, who was also reading Weibo, sighed and said in agreement: "It seems that there are still many righteous people in this world."

Lin Mi: ...

"Ship God, holding grudges is not a good habit. You have to change it."

Lin Mi kindly reminded, "I remember last night the coach asked you to play duo with Zhuo Yang more often when you have time to get a feel for it."

Therefore, his reputation as a traitor won't last for a few days, and everyone will soon see through the true nature of professional players.

As long as you can complete the league's requirements before the game, it doesn't matter who you duo queue with, right?

They didn’t see how many professional players were queuing up to curry favor with Rong Zezhou on his account!

"That was forced upon me by the roll, not my own will. Besides, I didn't duo queue with the jungler. I was waiting for you the whole time."

Rong Zezhou put down his phone, deleted the friend request from his teammate in the previous game, and also deleted a row of team invitations from various professional players. Then he personally sent an invitation to Lin Mi, leaned over and grabbed Lin Mi's mouse, and clicked the "Agree" button himself.

Lin Mi: Okay, as long as you are happy.

Gudian stayed with the WDG team for an entire afternoon. Not only did he observe the team members' daily training, he also played a solo match with all the members of the WDG team, but the result was somewhat tragic.

In the afternoon, Roll called Gudong to his office. It was unknown what he said to him. When Lin Mi sent Gudong out, Gudong actually said that he was planning to give up the idea of ​​playing professionally.

Lin Mi was very surprised. He knew that Gudong had always wanted to be a professional player since he was in high school. However, he was still young and his family forced him to study first, so he had been delayed until today.

And Gudong himself has a good level of talent. He is the king of the national server and has participated in the All-Star entertainment game. Even Roll and Rong Zezhou wanted to recruit him.

In fact, when he asked Gudong about his college application last night, he could tell that Gudong was not very enthusiastic about going to college. The reason why he asked Gudong to join the team today was to persuade him.

It's not that he doesn't want Gu Dan to play professionally, but he wants Gu Dan to see what a professional player is like. If Gu Dan really wants to become a professional player, he will also suggest that Gu Dan apply for university first, and then discuss with the school about taking a leave of absence.

He asked Yan Jin last night that if he chose e-sports as his major, it would not be difficult to accomplish as long as there was a team to support him.

But he didn't expect that before he could persuade him, Gudong said he wanted to give up.

“Actually, the professional players I saw today were not quite the same as I imagined.”

Gudong tried to describe his feelings. "Brother, you know I like playing League of Legends, but I have always just played it as a game. I never knew what it would be like as a career."

"It wasn't until today that I saw the training match and played solo with professional players, and understood the gap between my own level. The coach also showed me your daily training plan and content, as well as the training data for the past week. Only then did I really feel that when gaming becomes a profession, everything is different."

"I really like League of Legends, but if I have to practice last-hitting, remembering ward positions, and practicing coordination day after day, and constantly practice heroes that are strong in the version but I don't like, and practice for more than ten hours a day, I really can't do it."

Gu Gu heaved a sigh of relief. "I like to play games for fun, not to train hard for victory like professional players. So maybe I am suitable to be a game anchor, but I definitely can't be a professional player because I don't think I can bear the hardship."

Lin Mi smiled knowingly and stroked his brother's hair. "You can make this decision, which shows that you have really grown up. It's not a bad thing to retreat when you encounter difficulties. On the contrary, I think it is a sign of a person's maturity. You are still young, so go see more of the outside world and find a career that makes you feel that no matter how much you put in, you won't feel tired."

Gudong nodded, then hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother, what about you? Do you really like the path of a professional player? I heard from Roll that at first you just wanted to be a team leader, but later because of the problem with the team's substitutes, you were forced to become a professional player."

"Forced?"

Lin Mi smiled and shook his head, "Why do everyone think that I will be "forced" to agree to become a professional player?"

Lin Mi looked back at the WDG team base and could see the lights in the training room in the distance.

"There is only one reason why I became a professional player, and that is because I like it."

Lin Mi had a longing look on his face. "And I like it more and more. Gudong, you know, when I played the training match today, although I was very nervous, the nervousness came from the excitement and desire in my heart. I like the feeling of playing in the game, and I look forward to the day when I can really step onto the competition stage and fight for the victory of the game."

Lin Mi turned back and looked at the antique seriously. There was no reluctance between his eyebrows, only infinite expectations for the future: "And for that day, no matter how much effort I have to make, I will be happy to do it."
