Chapter 93 : Untitled
At the top lane, K, without the pressure of the opponent’s ADC, managed to kill the opposing support.
K: “Try and come team up to bully daddy again! Now do you know what it means by ‘hares may pull dead lions by the beard’? ”
Ji Zhiyao: “What?”
Heng: “Damn idiots HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! !”
Mo Huaifeng: “You think it through before you speak.”
K seemed to have fallen into agony, he thought so hard but still couldn’t figure out what he had said wrongly.
Ji Zhiyao made it through the respawn time and reappeared alive and kicking in his own fountain. He looked on at the superb situation, mused for a moment and said, “Captain, I have a frightening idea.”
Mo Huaifeng: “Take it back.”
Ji Zhiyao made a “tsk” sound. “Forget it, the aged doesn’t have much sense of adventure. Heng, let’s go, we’ll go wander!”
Heng vainly touched his own face. “Feels very comfortable to hear these words. Where do you want to go? Brother Heng’s got your back!”
Two minutes later.
The duo who endeavored to seek trouble were ganged up on by the opponent team and both offered their skulls.
Heng and Ji Zhiyao sighed.
Mo Huaifeng laughed.
Luckily their advantage in the earlier stage was more significant, and their techniques were really up to the mark. Although Ji Zhiyao and Heng had sought their doom with no hesitation and successful reduced the gold gap between the opponent’s team and themselves, but enduring till the 37th minute, Wan Ning couldn’t hold on anymore, the last turret at the middle lane was pushed down.
K was the first to bear the attacks and killed, yet before he could roll up his sleeves and flare up, he realized that the opposing mid-laner who had single handedly finished him off earlier was already a corpse under his Captain’s arrows.
The crystal collapsed!
Mix, victorious.
Ji Zhiyao’s eyes were bright as he smiled foolishly while looking at the screen all by himself.
This was his first official training tournament!
They won Wan Ning.
Even though the duration of the match was close to 40 minutes and could not be considered as one where they trashed their opponents, it could still prove...
Although his skills were temporarily at the average level, he wasn’t so bad as to bring shame to Mix!
Hence Ji Zhiyao joyfully squinted slightly, with a wave of his hand. “Tonight is my treat, let’s eat out?”
“Sure, sure, there’s a newly opened restaurant over at Silver Place’s area, seems to be hundreds of years of palace cooking passed down from the ancestors, extremely luxurious, let’s eat there.” Heng who was the closest to Ji Zhiyao naturally hung his arm around his shoulder, pretentiously sighing, “I heard the average cost is 18888 yuan, initially wanted to keep it to slaughter Captain’s pockets, but didn’t expect you to be so keen.”
“Thanks to the bit of money I’ve managed to earn from livestreaming, if not I wouldn’t even be able to buy you guys a meal.”
On the other end, Mo Huaifeng looked up after hearing him, his tone casual, “Call me daddy and I wouldn’t mind paying.”
Ji Zhiyao: ...
Behind them, Yuan Wei who was busy with a friendly exchange with Wan Ning battleteam’s manager didn’t even raise his head, speaking quickly as he retorted, “NoHomo don’t listen to Captain, in one more week your salary will be in. ‘Money is especially precious, but the value of morals is worth even more’, ever heard that?”
Ji Zhiyao quickly calculated his monthly salary to himself, then straightened his back in agreement. “Brother Yuan Wei is right!”
In reply was Mo Huaifeng’s merciless sneer.
Their first battle was a victory, the atmosphere in the whole training room was very relaxed. The stats analyzer recorded data according to the information from earlier, whereas Yuan Wei after interacting with Wan Ning’s manager, kept up the pace and set another two more training tournaments for the next weekend according to Mix’s capabilities that they had first displayed today.
After that was dinner time, everyone at the base boarded the van, rushing towards the rumored palace cuisine restaurant.
Servers pulled open the front door, Ji Zhiyao only felt that the standard of the decor was worthy of its average consumption cost.
The style of decor was almost completely modeled on ancient times, carved beams, painted rafters and the landscape paintings on the walls, ink painted screens in the hall formed a pleasing contrast under the dazzling bright light of the chandelier above their heads.
It was a pity that the bunch of internet-addicted youths who had just stepped in totally couldn’t spot the expertise of it all, only unknowingly lowered their voices in such an environment.
They were a little uneasy from feeling out of place.
As they walked deeper in, Ji Zhiyao couldn’t help but place his gaze on the tall and upright figure right at the front.
Although his Captain also wore a short sleeve shirt and sweatpants, his steps looked evidently more confident.
He used the back of his head to face them, as if trying to say ‘I am totally unlike you bunch of coy b*tches.’
Really too...
Too what?
Ji Zhiyao thought till he almost went bald, even till they’d entered a private suite and taken their suites, he still didn’t have an answer.
...
Two hours later, a group of males looking satisfied could be seen rubbing their round bellies as they boarded the base’s van.
“I must say, although they’re expensive, their food is good.” K leaned on the chair all slanted, smacking his lips as he said, “Plus the name of every dish is poetic, I feel especially like a cultured person today.”
Heng teased, “18888 yuan for a poetry lesson, why are you so extravagant?”
K snorted, “It’s NoHomo’s treat anyways.’
Ji Zhiyao: ...
The way back was filled with laughter.
It was 8:20 pm when they arrived back at the base, as they had eaten and drank their fill, hence everyone’s enthusiasm towards playing through the night ran unusually high.
Ji Zhiyao and Nuo played together, however Nuo idled around creating trouble, hid behind during team fights instead of tanking damage and even openly stole quite a few creeps from Ji Zhiyao... Once the match ended, Ji Zhiyao started silently at the gray word ‘DEFEAT’ on the screen, swiftly kicking Nuo out.
Seeing that the rest of his team mates were all in their various matches, he decided he might as well play alone.
The random match up of opponents by the system ended.
Among the opponent’s usernames, Ji Zhiyao saw a familiar one at one glance.
Gtx. Languang.
Ji Zhiyao closed his eyes briefly in grief and anger.
What grudge and enmity was this! Minding that he had eaten too much tonight and trying to find something for him to do?
He then recalled the match where they met by chance, he had never fought with Lan Guang face on before and was very afraid, Ji Zhiyao instantly felt even more suffocated.
He didn’t even know if they could win this match...
Ji Zhiyao came back to his senses, and realized he had already missed the time to pick champions, the system had automatically allocated him an assassin champion, the progress bar of the game had already begun to move.
Ji Zhiyao silently stared at the champion that he hadn’t used in a hundred years: ...
There was a line of denouncement in his heart that he didn’t know whether to vocalize or not.
Just then the match buffer had already ended, heroes valley appeared, Ji Zhiyao instantly threw that bit of displeasure in his heart to the back of his mind, fingers on the keyboard, swiftly adapted to his champion, then plunged head first into the jungle.
The pace of this match was slightly fast, Lan Guang also seemed to be purposely showing off his handling, coming and going as he pleased in the jungle opposite. However Ji Zhiyao did not intentionally observe Lan Guang, but went about steadily, trying his best to quickly finish farming his jungle.
Lan Guang seemed to be provoked, directly skimming past in Ji Zhiyao’s direction.
Based on handling alone, Ji Zhiyao temporarily wasn’t Lan Guang’s opponent, he dodged around.
Having dodged a few times, a new line appeared in the open chat.
[Gtx. Languang: ? ]
Ji Zhiyao typed a chain of ellipses over, instantly feeling that Lan Guang was even more aggressive than earlier.
