Chapter 154: Still Just The Two Of Us

“This Zheng Shanjia, always pretending to be nice in front of us. Now he’s shown his true colors after being successful in LOL. F*ck, there are a lot of other booster stores that is on par with his.” Da Luo was extremely angry, not only did he not transfer the money to him on time, he was even so rude about it. He had never met anyone more thick-faced than this before.

“Wait a while, I need to get back what he owes me. I’m making a call.” Da Luo continued, his tone still taut with anger.

As Da Luo walked away with the phone to his ear, you could see that he was already in a heated debate with the person on the other end.

“So, did he agree?” Yu Luocheng asked, glancing at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong shook his head. “He mentioned that he might get a promotion soon in his job. If he gets that promotion and just boosts at night, his life will be fine.”

“I don’t think that will happen.” Yu Luocheng looked backed at the expensive perfume box that Shui Mo was holding.

“You can see it too.” Lin Dong said quietly. “I’ll show you something when we get back later.”

“What?” Yu Luocheng asked, curious.

“You’ll know when you see it. Coming back to that, that consecutive win streak is important to him. His income now isn’t that high, so much so to the point that he is even using half of his nights to boost accounts. If he had that record, he could get higher rates from the stores and he would also get a record holder prize each month.” Lin Dong said.

“Breaking the record for a 25 win streak, that is going to be damn hard, especially in the Ionia Server…” Yu Luocheng replied.

In 25 matches, having teammates that might lose their lanes would likely happen at least once or twice. Don’t think about how you play, your own team would be at each others neck. This was common in ranked matches and you might even face off with the smurf account of highly skilled players, boosters, or even some professional players in a solo or duo queue. You may be able to force your way through the first 17 matches, but after those matches, your opponents would most definitely be veterans. It was impossible to maintain a 100% win rate at that point.

“Yeah, if Da Luo is not willing to join, then I’ll have to look for other people.” Lin Dong said.

“Not going to push your luck and try again?” Yu Luocheng asked.

“It’s hard. When there’s a girl involved, it becomes harder.”

“True. At least he looks happy.” Yu Luocheng replied.

As the five of them continued their chat, the topic never went any deeper. After having dinner together, they returned to their respective destinations. While in the washroom, Lin Dong took the chance and asked Da Luo once more.

“Da Luo, this time it’s a team that’s made on our own. There’s no club involved, the full amount of the prize money, sponsorship and advertising endorsement will be ours. Won’t you reconsider?”

“I know that you can make money with LOL, but you also saw, Shui Mo doesn’t want me to become a professional player. Having a more stable job is better.” Da Luo said. “Also, why don’t you convince him to join first?”

“Boss left the scene because of his old man’s sickness. Have you forgotten that three days before the England competition, he came out of the washroom with red eyes? I was washing my clothes nearby and I heard a woman crying, it might have been his mother on the line.” Lin Dong said quietly. “Oh, and you didn’t know that he had run away from home at that time. It must have been maybe a year or two that he had not been in contact with his family.”

Da Luo was shocked, he had never known this part of the story!

“Why would he run away from home? Was it because his family disapproved of him playing professionally?” Da Luo asked.

“Haha, which family would allow a high school kid to drop out and play professionally?” Lin Dong laughed bitterly. “Especially his old man. I secretly searched up his background, his father has had it rough.”

Da Luo was listening with rapt attention to Lin Dong’s words. Even though it had been so long, Da Luo didn’t know anything about Yu Luocheng apart from the time when he had been involved in e-sports. Yu Luocheng himself had never said anything either. In fact, Yu Luocheng had not been in contact with any of them after he had left Team Wings. It was Lin Dong that had found him through his hacking.

After listening to this, Da Luo frowned and said, “So he really won’t dare to participate professionally anymore.”

“His old man plays the biggest role, but I feel that he himself doesn’t want to go professional in e-sports anymore.”

“I can see that.” Da Luo replied.

“Ai, it’s not like he made the wrong decision. Being able to get into a university, it is already an achievement by itself. Smoothly graduating, getting a good job, earning a stable salary each year…not like us who don’t even have any papers, if we want to find a job, it’s hard, and working for other people would get us scolded harshly everyday.” Lin Dong said, sighing out loud.

Da Luo could sympathize with that. Without any papers, it was hard to find a job. The jobs he could find were ones that would work you like a dog, and those which were easier didn’t have good returns…

After dinner, they dispersed. Yu Luocheng accompanied Yang Qianqian to shop in the Shanghai Market, and it was also nine at night when he reached back to the university.

On the way back, Yang Qianqian started to interrogate Yu Luocheng. Yu Luocheng didn’t feel comfortable talking about his rebellious stage where he had run away from home, so he tried all sorts of ways to deflect the topic. This made Yang Qianqian frustrated and upon reaching her apartment, she didn’t talk to him.

“Go back to your dorm.” Yang Qianqian closed the door to her apartment, not giving him a chance to enter at all.

“I need to use the computer… Hey, hey…” Knocking the door a few times but Yang Qianqian still refused to open it, Yu Luocheng was left speechless.

He really didn’t have any other intentions but to use computer. Yang Qianqian was also another one, always thinking weirdly, were all girls like this?

Shutting the door, Yang Qianqian lay down and stretched out on the bed. If Yu Luocheng were to see her, his blood would definitely be boiling at the sight presented to him right now. Yang Qianqian’s heart was thumping in her chest, hesitating on whether to call Yu Luocheng back and let him in. After all, leaving him out and refusing him entry like that was bad right?

However, a girl and a guy alone in a room, such an awkward situation, she didn’t feel like that would be good either…

***

After Yu Luocheng had been denied entry, he sighed and left, walking toward the cyber cafe outside of the university. He didn’t head to the multimedia room because the cyber cafe outside was opened overnight.

On the other side, Lin Dong had returned to his own dorm and Xiao Bei phoned him in a hurry.

“It’s still just the two of us.” Lin Dong said dejectedly.

“Ah…” Xiao Bei didn’t know what else to say.

Lin Dong forced a laugh. “Why don’t you join another team first? I heard there’s a line of teams that have already sent you invitations?”

“I didn’t promise them anything. Lin Dong, it’s alright, we’ll take it slow.” Xiao Bei said. “There’ll be people, I believe in you.”

Lin Dong nodded, his heart warming at the words. The team only had the two of them, don’t talk about a full team, they didn’t even have funds and he couldn’t get anybody. While he was in the bus on the way back, he had been confused and lost.

It was great to know that Xiao Bei still supported him all along.
