Chapter 5. Recruiting a Disciple



Qiao Ran's slender figure was shrouded in darkness. She stared at the words "pay back the money" and "go to hell". Her pale lips were pressed into a line. The knuckles of her hands holding the things were white, and her nails almost dug into the flesh.

The summer in the south is hot and humid, and bursts of low thunder can be heard from the sky again.

The shirt stuck to Qiao Ran's body, and a thin layer of sweat flowed down her stiff neck and soaked into her clothes.

Qiao Ran took a deep breath, looked away, ignored the glaring red on the wall, and indifferently took out the key to open the door.

With a "bang", the door was slammed shut, shaking the spiders with silk hanging in the corners.

As soon as Qiao Ran put the things in the refrigerator, his cell phone rang.

It started to rain heavily outside, and the big raindrops hit the windows with a crackling sound. The strong wind blew in through the gaps in the window frame, making a ghostly sound that almost drowned out the ringing cell phone.

"Are you guys done yet? Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Qiao Ran answered the phone, suppressing the soreness in her throat. She knew who it was. "Don't say I didn't warn you, the man living across from me is over 90 years old. If he gets hurt, it won't be a civil case anymore."

"Little girl, we don't want this to happen either, but who made you have such a mother?"

Qiao Ran looked out the window, took a long breath, and said calmly, "Let's make an appointment to meet. It's at the wonton shop downstairs from my house. You guys came here to throw paint today, so you should have passed by."

When the other party heard this, he thought there was a chance, and his attitude immediately improved: "Okay, okay, as long as you are willing to cooperate, wouldn't it be better to do it earlier? Then let's do it tomorrow morning."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Ran slumped back on the sofa, feeling nauseous and having no appetite at all.

She opened WeChat and returned to the chat with Pei Yan, staring at it silently for a long time...

She changed her mind!

Since it is possible that Pei Yan added the wrong person, let's just leave it as it is.

Maybe this is the opportunity God has given her?

Her life shouldn't be stuck in the mire, rotting and stinking like this! She wants to get out, she wants to get rid of these disgusting things and live in the sunshine...

Thinking of this, Qiao Ran quickly edited a message and replied: "I'm accepting you as my disciple. No money is required. I can be online at irregular times every day. Just accept that."

After a while, Qiao Ran sent another message: "I have a bad temper and don't like to use the microphone during games. We usually communicate through text messages. You can try it for two days. If you are too weak to carry me or you think I am not good enough, you can terminate it at any time."

In this sentence, it is true that he has a bad temper, and he did not turn on the microphone because he was afraid of being exposed. As for the excuse that he was too bad to lead the team, it was purely a deception to make Pei Yan think that he had not been exposed.

After all, there is really no one in the e-sports circle who dares to say that Pei Yancai is bad!

......

Pei Yan came out of the conference room and urged the other team members to go to training.

Zhang Qian reminded them, "Please stop live streaming for now. You can catch up later. Don't go on Weibo or forums unless you have time. If you're caught, you'll be fined 5,000 yuan and have to treat everyone to a late-night snack."

The official Weibo account has already released a statement regarding Yang Rui's withdrawal from the team. Combined with the previous loss of the game, there is bound to be a big uproar online.

The team's atmosphere is already low because of this competition, and they can't let these remarks affect their daily training.

"Got it..." Zhao Jie and a few others said in unison, and returned to the training room dejectedly to start the day's training.

"You too, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Things will work out in the end." Zhang Qian knew that Pei Yan liked to keep things to himself and was worried that he was under too much pressure.

Pei Yan took out his phone and saw the message from Qiao Ran. He smiled at Zhang Qian and said, "I have something to take care of. Keep an eye on these guys and don't let them slack off."

Zhang Qian suspected that his eyes were blurring out. Pei Yan usually didn't like to smile, so why did he smile at this critical moment?

Is it because I have too much anger in my heart and have become abnormal?

Pei Yan went straight back to his room, closed the door, and sat down at the desk.

"Sure, I don't like live mics either. You can play a couple of games when it's convenient for you."

After receiving the reply, Qiao Ran glanced at the time: "It can be done now."

"OK, go online, pull me."

Qiao Ran logged into the game. In order to prevent Pei Yan from recognizing her, she deliberately switched to a small account that she rarely used during live broadcasts, created a room, and shared it on WeChat.

Pei Yan naturally couldn't use his main account, but luckily he had many secondary accounts, so he picked one at random and joined the room.

Qiao Ran clicked on the match immediately, fearing that Pei Yan would slip away if he was late.

She sat up straight on the sofa, her eyes fixed on the phone screen.

As early as the youth training, she dreamed of one day being able to conquer the canyon with Pei Yan, but unfortunately she was not selected...

She thought she would never have another chance in this life.

But who could have thought of it!

Pei Yan was on the 3rd floor, and he instantly chose "Lan" as the jungler on the 1st floor, and asked the auxiliary to play "Cai Wenji" through the microphone.

In this round, "Cai Wenji" was not banned, and Qiao Ran's proficiency was sufficient, but she just didn't want to.

Qiao Ran has selfish motives.

As we all know, "Lan" and "Cai Wenji" are a couple in the game. With Pei Yan around, she will team up with Pei Yan.

Moreover, Lan has never spoken since the beginning until now. He keeps talking nonsense. Qiao Ran is getting a headache because of his noise.

When it was Qiao Ran's turn, he locked onto "Baili Shouyue" without a second thought.

Looking at the heroic portraits of himself and Pei Yan, Qiao Ran felt that they matched perfectly and was very satisfied.

Qiao Ran was satisfied, but the second floor had already chosen the shooter. In this case, Qiao Ran chose the same position, and there was a high probability that he would be criticized.

Pei Yan looked at the game interface with no expression on his face, as if analyzing Qiao Ran's intention in choosing this move.

Amidst Lan's endless passionate insults, Qiao Ran changed his lane to a roaming position.

The mage on the fourth floor was "Wang Zhaojun", and now he couldn't bear to watch anymore. Before the game started loading, he sent out two paragraphs of text in succession:

[Are you kidding me on the 5th floor? This is ranked!]

[Speechless, don't tell me this is another female player waiting to win without doing anything...]

Qiao Ran really hates this kind of discrimination against female players in the game, as if there are no idiots among male players.

But Qiao Ran was too lazy to argue with them. The game was based on strength. Who would be the easy winner? Only one round would tell!

After Qiao Ran got the gem, he didn't rush to follow any of the enemies. Instead, he wandered around his own jungle, provided vision, and then sneaked into the enemy jungle, placed a ward at the buff position, and took away several wild boars in the enemy jungle.

While Pei Yan was developing in the top lane, he was keeping an eye on Qiao Ran's movements. This support had some ideas, and he seemed to have seen this style of play somewhere before, which felt somewhat familiar.

Qiao Ran knew that Pei Yan would definitely pay attention to her, so she didn't act recklessly. While helping the shooter push the line in the bottom lane, she placed wards in the dragon pit and the middle river.

While helping the shooter clear the line, he would occasionally walk around his own jungle area along the wall to provide sufficient vision for his teammates.

The opposing jungler is Lanling King, who has the invisibility skill.

Therefore, Qiao Ran paid special attention to Lanling Wang's movements, and promptly placed changing eyes according to Lanling Wang's routes. He even predicted and fired a shot from time to time to expose Lanling Wang's position.

Lanling King's invisibility became useless because of Qiao Ran's presence. He dared not counter-jungle or approach the dragon pit. He could only develop timidly and seek opportunities to cut in.

On the other hand, on Qiao Ran's side, Baili was sticking to the wall, appearing and disappearing mysteriously, and had cooperated with his teammates to snipe and kill several of the opposing kids, with every shot killing them.

Lan and Wang Zhaojun, who had been criticizing Qiao Ran since the beginning of the game, played for a long time but their performance was very poor, so they had already shut up.

After the bottom lane tower was pushed down, the shooter had almost developed, and with Qiao Ran leaving a vision, the risk of the shooter being caught was reduced a lot.

Qiao Ran left the archer behind without worry, and traveled through mountains and rivers to find Pei Yan, and capture the man together with Pei Yan.

Just as Yang Rui said, Pei Yan is actually like an orphan most of the time in the game.

It’s not that he is unwilling to cooperate with his teammates, but his awareness and strength are there. Looking at the entire circle, there are only a handful of teammates who can keep up with him on the fingers of one hand.

But Qiao Ran was different. He watched the videos of Pei Yan's games and live broadcasts over and over again in his spare time. Over time, he summed up some of Pei Yan's game ideas.

Just like now, Pei Yan’s health is critical, but he did not go back. Instead, he wandered around under the enemy tower, obviously trying to lure him into law enforcement.

But the enemy is not stupid either. There is a ward here that Qiao Ran had placed before. If they come over, their vision will be exposed, so they dare not act rashly.

Baili's eyes have a time limit, and they will be gone soon.

I guess the other party was also waiting for this opportunity, wanting to come over and kill Pei Yan after the vision disappeared.

Qiao Ran controlled the character, stuck to the wall, and sneaked into the bushes to squat.

Pei Yan looked at Qiao Ran's character in the game and couldn't help but smile.

This guy reacts quickly and knows what he wants to do.

really!

The moment the eye was destroyed, the opposite Lanling King and their support Cai Wenji came over.

Qiao Ran predicted that Cai Wenji would use her second skill to freeze Pei Yan first, so that Lanling King would have a greater chance of taking him down with one move.

So, she set her sights on Cai Wenji.

Before Cai Wenji could use her second skill, she flashed out, and used a basic attack and a sniper attack to catch Cai Wenji off guard. In a panic, she used her first skill and ultimate to recover health.

At the same time as Qiao Ran came out, Pei Yan predicted Lanling King's position and pinned him to the ground.

Once Lanling King died, how could Cai Wenji, a mere auxiliary, defeat two high-damage heroes? She soon had to go home to accompany Lanling King.

Lanling Wang on the other side seemed unable to accept that he was gone, and raised doubts in the entire channel:

[All] Evening Breeze (Lanling King): What the hell is going on with Kai and Shouyue? They must be cheating!

The author has something to say:

Ugh!!!! Gameplay is so hard to write!!!!
