Chapter 96
If the hidden attribute of a medic is to sacrifice himself for his teammates, then the hidden attribute of a sniper player was to deceive; snipers were very proficient in playing one way in front of you and another way behind your back.
Puppy gave Yu Sui a simple reminder before turning his head and creating a new group chat with the same name as Frees A whole family on friendly terms.
It couldnt be more obvious that he was being a wolf cub with a savage heart.
However, Puppy just wanted to mess with his own family. He just wanted to see whether Chen Huo or Old Qiao makes a fool of themselves. But by sheer coincidence, NSNs team group chat also this universally applicable name.
Wawa was the first unsuspecting victim.
At noon, Shi Luo was woken up by Yu Sui and he went to brush his teeth and wash his face in a daze. After hurriedly washing, the two of them had breakfast in the room.
He had gone to bed a bit late last night and Shi Luo was so sleepy he could hardly keep his eyes open. He mindlessly stuffed bread into his mouth. He would take a drink of milk after every three mouthfuls. It was a good combination for him.
Yu Sui was playing on his mobile phone while eating. After a while, he said nonchalantly, Wawa is gossiping about you.
Shi Luo didnt react. He didnt even raise his head as he asked in a dull voice, What?
Its nothing... Yu Sui looked at the phone, tone as usual, Nothing important.
Shi Luo didnt take it seriously and continued eating. Three minutes later, hes had his fill with five breads, a box of salad and a bottle of milk. He picked up his phone to check the time and his eyes narrowed slightly. Whatre they talking about in the group so early in the morning?
Shi Luo unlocked his phone and took a look at the group.
[NSN-Awa]: [Shi Ge and Yu Shen came to see us yesterday. ]
[NSN-Awa]: [I saw the official photos. Among the Free team members, only the two of them came. ]
[NSN-Awa]: [I really think theyre very well-matched. The more I look, the better their pair-up seems. ]
Shi Luo: ...
Shi Luo quickly clicked on the group member list and with a glance, he more or less guessed what this group was about. He then exited the list to see that the group was still chatting.
Wawa was not the only one who was fooled.
[NSN-ROD]: [So what if they came to watch the game together? What well-match? Fans of our team keep saying that you have had a relationship with Shi Shen, is that true? ]
[NSN-Awa]: [Of course not. Only pure brotherhood exists between my Brother Shi and I. However, they obviously have a better relationship. ]
[NSN-Awa]: [How can I compare to Yu Shen? I am just a small passer-by who passed through the life of Brother Shi. Yu Shen is Shi Luos white moonlight and red rose. ]
Yu Sui hadnt finished eating yet. While watching the group, he tore a piece of bread and smiled, ...white moonlight and red rose.
In the group, Wawa was still acting recklessly. [NSN-Awa]: [Really, dont you all think those meaningful glances they exchange are just beautiful? Ive noticed it for a long time. ]
NSNs manager and the whole of Team Saint were also in the group. Shi Luo couldnt afford to lose this person. He opened a private chat with Wawa and had him shut up. The group instantly became quiet.
Wawa, this idiot&#k2026; Shi Luo gritted his teeth, Is he blind? Cant he see that this is a new group?
Yu Sui didnt have an opinion one way or the other. While eating, he said easily, Just let him talk. Hes not saying anything bad.
Shi Luo packed up his food containers. He frowned and said seriously, Hes being so unbridled with his words. If hes not careful, someones going to be able to guess it!
Yu Sui wanted to speak but stopped. Inwardly he thought that no matter what Wawa said, could he match how unbridled your own side account is being? In a few days, even idiot Chen Huo would probably know your side account.
Yu Sui couldnt bear to expose him, though. Looking at Shi Luo, he said, Are you angry with him?
R//Ad latSt ch/a/pters at n(v)e(l)bin/.c/o//m Only
Not really. Shi Luo laughed, This is a bit of a mess, thats all. I swore at him for a bit to shut him up. Its fine... Im done eating.
Im going to the training room.
Yu Sui nodded, Shi Luo picked up his jacket and headed for the training room.
First thing Shi Luo did when starting training was to go to the custom server to warm up his hands. After booting up the game, he saw that Wawa had sent him several messages in the games messaging system.
[Awa]: [Kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times! Im sorry, Shi Ge. Please dont stop replying to my messages. Sorry, sorry, sorry, QAQ.
]
[Awa]: [Sorry, I kowtow to you, bang bang bang. ]
Shi Luo wasnt angry in the first place. But seeing that Wawa had chased him into the game, he couldnt help replying,
[Free-Evil]: [Then continue with your kowtow. ]
[NSN-Awa]: [Bang bang bang! ! ! Kowtowing til Im bleeding.
]
[NSN-Awa]: [QAQ This really is the first time Ive talked about you behind your back. Im sorry, Im sorry, Im sorry, Bang bang bang...]
[Free-Evil]: [Its fine. ]
[NSN-Awa]: [Phew... Thats a relief. I was scared to death. I was so afraid that you and Yu Shen got really angry.
Its fine so long as you two arent angry. Im sorry. Im sorry. ]
Shi Luo entered the custom server and glanced at the chat interface. He replied to Wawa: [Did you look for him to apologize? ]
Wawa responded quickly: [Yes, I wanted to apologize to both of you at the same time, but I dont have Yu Shen added as a friend and I didnt dare add him. I apologized in the group. You can take a look and see. ]
Shi Luo picked up his phone and took a look. In the three-team group chat, Wawa @-ed Yu Sui, kowtowed and apologized. He sent a long string of kowtows, in the end, Yu Sui only replied with Its okay.
Yu Sui didnt get angry easily and he reacted normally. Shi Luo loaded his gun. Wawa, on his end, wouldnt stop responding.
[NSN-Awa]: [Kowtowing once again. Sorry, Im sorry. ]
[NSN-Awa]: [Although I might just be asking for a beating, I still want to ask. Are you two really not together? ]
[NSN-Awa]: [You can see how Yu Shen is completely indifferent to others. Really, even when just adding friends. He was in our team for so long and he only added our captain as a friend. It felt like everyone else was dispensable.
Only towards you, hes...different. ]
[NSN-Awa]: [Ive been shipping the two of you for so long.]
The corners of Shi Luos mouth slightly ticked up and he stopped paying attention to Wawa.
He couldnt tell anyone. If he couldnt help showing off, best to use his side account. It was safest.
Shi Luo made a post using his side account and continued to practice his gun operation.
With a powerful training partner like Saint, the quality of that days practice match was guaranteed. Saint was also very principled.
Before the training match, Angel Sword sent a message in the group chat, promising that he wouldnt pry on the two teams game pieces, they were only there to be training partners. Not a word of a teams tactics will not be disclosed to the other party.
Yu Sui, Chen Huo and Puppy had already arrived in the training room at this moment. Puppy glanced at the group chat. Angel Sword...should be a trustworthy guy, right?
Chen Huo sat down, In any case, I believe him. Can someone whos risked that much for his teammate be unreliable?
Emotionally, I believe him. Shi Luo was still in the custom server. While doing simulation training, he said, Rationally, Saint is already out for this season. We have no competition with them. Unless theyve gone crazy, it makes no sense for them to sell us out.
No need to think about this. Old Qiao opened his own computer and said happily, They didnt even ask a penny from us to be our training partner, whats there to think about? Besides, we need to train well now. Ive been hiding it and hiding it all day long. Im going to die from holding back.
If we dont practice our ultimate moves, theyre going to rust away. Lets practice! Practice, practice!
Zhou Huo looked at the group in confusion. He asked, hesitating, You...what are you talking about? Why dont I understand?
We... Chen Huo moved his shoulders, looking happy, are judging whether Saint is trustworthy or not and we have now decided that they are, so were getting ready to properly play a couple of matches.
Zhou Huo was at a loss, Werent you already playing properly before?
We have, but there are some routines we didnt dare find a strong team to try out on. Puppy blinked at Zhou Huo. Remember before how we said that Saint shouldnt reveal too many tactics early on? Now its our turn.
Zhou Huo suddenly had a realization. He turned off the camera in his hand and said, Okay, okay, okay. Then you guys practice hard. Make sure it stays confidential.
Turn off all live broadcasts and phones. I wont take any photos or videos.
I know. Old Qiao opened an in-game map. Ill tell Angel Sword again but he knows the situation.
Shi Luo moved his fingers. He exited the custom map and entered the special map for practice games.
Tomorrow will be the semi-finals. They also cant spend too much time in the practice match. It was enough if he just keeps the feelings in his hands. After only five rounds both sides dispersed.
After the game, Angel Sword send a message to Old Qiao. They could delete the in-game data immediately. Angel Sword also guaranteed that no one on their side recorded the matches.
Everyone was relieved at how Angel Sword handled matters. Old Joe deleted all the data in the game and everyone scattered.
The next day, Free unsurprisingly took away the semi-final match, 3 to 0 against Yizhan. And they advanced to the finals.
After the game, Zhou Huo was careful not to let anyone eat outside. His team had a tendency to attract misfortune whenever they went outside. Zhou Huo has had too many lessons on that matter. No matter how Chen Huo and Puppy complained after the game, he wouldnt budge.
He promised to treat everyone to somewhere great after the World Championships. Later Zhou Huo took the four of them back to the base, wary and vigilant.
The finals will be in a few days. Bear with it and wait until the finals is finished.
Worried that the food outside wouldnt be fresh or that thered be something wrong with them, Zhou Huo didnt even allow anyone to order takeaways. After returning to the base, Zhou Huo comforted his players. Bear with it please.
I heard that NSN wont let anyone order takeout since they entered the playoffs. Weve gotten this far. Lets not drop the ball here. I already talked with Auntie and shell make lots of what you usually like to eat so bear with it.
Chen Huo desperately wanted to eat some barbecue right about now. After being rejected, he hammered the sofa, screamed and went upstairs, howling in grief. The rest of the people slumped in the living room, waiting for dinner.
Everyone was also used to it. Since entering the playoffs, Zhou Huo has been tense. If there were a few drops of water on the ground, hed worry that a player would accidentally slip and fall.
Their Manager Zhou of average inner quality, became more and more neurotic as they neared the semi-finals and finals. While waiting for the meal, he was still muttering to himself about every little detail, for fear that the team might suffer some setback because of his carelessness.
Calm down for a moment. Old Qiao couldnt stand Zhou Huos useless energy. Isnt it true that theyve never won?
Zhou Huo gave Old Qiao a look that seemed to say that it was a long and complicated story but in the end, he confessed reluctantly, Its true. They havent won, the teams Ive led...really havent gone this far in the playoffs, let alone the World Championships.
Old Qiao instantly felt a sense of superiority. He patted Zhou Huos shoulder, Calm down. You just need to get used to it. Play on your phone for a bit.
Surf the net. Dont be flustered.
For Zhou Huo surfing the net was always done with a purpose. He had set special notifications on all of NSNs members, from their players to their managers, down to their coaches. As he went through them one by one, he froze. NSNs sniper Rod, just posted on Weibo.
Shi Luo raised his eyes, What did he post?
Hes showing off a ring. Zhou Huo looked at it carefully and smiled, He can sure talk. He said that if they win the finals, hes going to propose and that theyll get married when they reach the legal age. If he loses, hell only give the ring and he would have to owe the proposal.
You dont deserve to propose if you dont win the match.
Old Qiao smiled, Since hes already bought the ring, he has to give it away? He didnt even take into account whether shed say yes or not, sigh...how does this make sense? He and his childhood sweetheart are just too sweet.
Zhou Huo clicked his tongue. His girlfriend reposted it, saying that shes crying from happiness, sigh... Shi gave him a like. A good boyfriend: contemporary e-sports edition.
Shi Luo was dazed for a moment. He still remembered when Rod was being blasted online for celebrating his girlfriends birthday a few months ago. At that time, many people said that this couple was done for, that they were going to break up. Unexpectedly, their relationship grew deeper.
The team entered the finals and achieved results. Rod also withstood the overwhelming pressure from last time. Now, hes out and out with his PDA, openly proposing marriage.
......pretty good.
Shi Luo bowed his head and continued to play an offline game.
Shi Luo was playing Tetris set on the most difficult and fastest mode. His hand speed was extremely fast and he basically made no mistakes. After quickly breaking the last record, he was about to start another game when his phone shook.
[Whisper]: [Shi Shen, are you envious?]
Yu Sui was sitting not far away; between them was one Old Qiao.
The corners of Shi Luos mouth slightly ticked down. After a while, he simply told the truth. [A little bit.]
Shi Luos phone vibrated soon again.
[Whisper]: [Are you envious of the ring or of the proposal?]
Shi Luo hesitated. Actually, he didnt know what he was envious of. He wasnt envious of others receiving gifts. And if he were to actually propose...he wouldnt go as far as that.
Before Shi Luo could reply, Yu Sui sent another message: [No need to say anything. I know. ]
Shi Luo was stunned. He himself didnt even know clearly but Yu Sui already knew? How could he know? What does he know?
Shi Luos phone vibrated again.
[Whisper]: [Just play the finals with peace of mind. What others have, you can have too.]
[Whisper]: [I can give it to you.]
