Xu Songyuan and Lin Shaosi remained silent, listening quietly.
Su Ran paused for a moment and continued, "He once said something to me that I still remember to this day."
He said his love for esports was not a passing fad or a fleeting trend, but a long-planned strategy. He said that winning games is more exhilarating than solving a hundred math problems, and that his love for games is something he can hardly give up after weighing the pros and cons.
Su Ran didn't speak, looking out at the night scene, as if she was thinking of that night when she chatted with Su Chen at the night market.
She then continued, "So what reason do I have to stop him?"
The two people on the other end remained silent for a long time. After a while, Xu Songyuan's voice rang out, "That kid is quite cultured."
Su Ran smiled after hearing this, and Lin Shaosi's voice rang out, clicking her tongue lightly, "In e-sports, there will always be someone to teach him how to do things."
She didn't reply when she heard that. What Ah Si said was true. Teammates, opponents, and netizens would all teach him how to do things, which was understandable.
The two did not continue the conversation on this topic, but instead asked about other things.
Xu Songyuan's mournful voice rang out, "I really don't want to go back to school tomorrow."
The longest summer vacation is over. A-Yuan had taken two weeks off due to illness and family matters, and now that she has to go back to school, she started complaining again.
Lin Shaosi was speechless upon hearing this. "You've had your fun for so long, it's time to go back to school and go to jail."
......
"Hahahaha, go look at the comments section of Ranran's video. Everyone's saying to let Sister Chunqing check her private messages, and some are even saying they'll fly over right now."
Upon hearing Xu Songyuan's voice, Lin Shaosi clicked on Douyu with great interest. Su Ran, upon hearing this, also lost her composure, clicked on Douyu, and was then forced to log out.
Then I went back in and looked at my own video.
It already has 10.9399 million likes, 6.8933 million comments, and 13.6315 million shares.
Seeing this series of data, Su knew he had lost face.
The first comment I saw was, "[Sis, where are you? I'm flying right over here!]"
[Innocent sister, I'm here!]
[Family members, who understands?! I thought my sister was like a goddess, without any desires or wants!]
[Stop talking, everyone's petitioning for Chunqing-jie's contact information.]
[This rich woman is playing me! I don't want her money!]
Seeing your series of shameless remarks, I suddenly don't feel out of place anymore!
[Pure-hearted sister, where are you? I'll take a taxi over right now!]
[Waaaaah, all these sports cars must be worth hundreds of millions!]
[Waaaaah, is this a dinner party with my best friends? I really want a party like this too!]
[Look at me, innocent girl!]
......
Su Ran scrolled through the pages for a while before finally commenting, "[I lost a truth or dare game with my best friend.]"
They then quietly left Douyin, while the two of them laughed and talked about what netizens were saying, saying that this game really ruins friendships.
At this moment, Su Ran really wanted to kill someone.
Hearing their laughter, Su Ran also lost her spirit and let out a long sigh.
...
After playing around for a while...
They all hung up the phone. Su Ran lay on the bed, and then she heard her phone vibrating continuously.
When Su Ran opened the message, she saw messages from a series of friends, including Shen Yu, Jiang Zheng, Fu Rongzhi, Qingzhu, Mizui, Lin Yi, Xuanxuan, Shen Yuye, Song Shiyan, Song Nian, and so on.
Everyone was asking about the video caption, so Su Ran posted a clarification on her WeChat Moments and then didn't reply to any further messages.
I put down my phone and went to sleep.
...
I slept without any dreams.
Meanwhile, in Shanghai, Su Chen...
After the training match the day before, we immediately reviewed the match, and it took us a long time to get to sleep.
I got up again at 1 p.m. the next day to train and maintain my form.
The schedule was so tight that, apart from needing to pee or poop, there was absolutely no time to spare. All the time was devoted to training, and any spare time was spent on the live streams that were being offered.
Su Chen sat in his gaming chair and continued practicing with firearms. He spent more time practicing shooting at the training camp than playing games.
"Evil, the coach will call for a debriefing later."
Su Chen looked up upon hearing this, "Yes, Captain."
Su Chen quickly finished his work and joined ASG as a sniper known as Evil in the community. The one who just spoke was the team leader, Jungle, who served as the commander. The assault player was called Huangzi, and the other player was Mingtian, the team's free agent.
After getting off the machine, Su Chen walked towards the conference room.
ASG's venue isn't very big, and its reputation isn't as high as other teams. It's not a top-tier team, but it's not short of money either, so the team atmosphere is pretty good.
After everyone sat down in the conference room, the middle-aged man standing at the front spoke up after everyone had arrived, "Now that everyone's here, let's look at your practice match against the other team yesterday and see what mistakes each of you made."
Besides Coach Lin, there was also Analyst Lin in the meeting room. There were other essential figures involved in the tactical arrangements. After looking around, Coach Lin slowly said, "Before criticizing, we need to praise someone: Sniper Evil."
Su Chen, who was called out, did not show much emotion. Then Brother Lin continued, "Evil is still the same as always, without any fundamental mistakes. As for Captain Jungle, I don't want to say more about when he acted impulsively."
"But you must remember that you are the captain, the commander, and the central figure who controls the overall situation of the team. It is possible that a single wrong command in a game could lead to the downfall of the entire team. I know you have only been in this position for a short time, but I need you to adapt as soon as possible."
Cong Lin nodded upon hearing this. They had actually discussed this matter last night, but he had come from the assault team, so this transition was too significant. "Brother Lin, I will study hard."
After hearing this, Brother Lin finally stopped talking, sighed, and then looked at the scaffold, "As an assault soldier, you must train hard. You need to resolve the battles in front of you quickly, and at the same time, you need to be vigilant. If you can't fight, retreat. Don't always get carried away and stubbornly stick to your guns."
"And there's the free agent tomorrow. I know you're not happy about the new guy going straight to sniper, but Evil has the ability, so you have to step down."
Brother Lin raised his voice, looked at the group, and said in a serious tone, "You must remember that you are a team, not reckless lone wolves. You can do whatever you want in the individual competition, but in the end, the ones who can bring glory on the field are always the four-person teams."
"If you have any complaints, resolve them as soon as possible. If you're not as skilled as others, then practice hard. We didn't sign you to be goalkeepers for ASG. You're here to compete and win championships, not for a paid vacation."
"You must remember that on the field, your weaknesses will be magnified by your opponents and then dismantle you. If you don't want to play, let me know early so I can make a substitution."
Lin Ge is really getting angry at these people lately. He was happy to have a talented player named Evil join the team, but he never expected that so many messes would happen to the team.
It's a joke to focus on who took your place when you're not even paying attention to the game.
