“Xu Ben, what’s the matter? Why did you arrive so late?” At the competition area, a man wearing fancy-colored pants said while walking toward Xu Ben.

“Aren’t I here now? K, do you see those idiots at the door?” Xu Ben said as he walked to his team.

The one who called K looked up and immediately saw the five people wearing their team shirts.

“So, we are up against them?” K questioned.

“Well, you don’t need to sign up in advance anyway. Since you can compete as soon as you arrive, I guess that is so.” Xu Ben laughed.

“Are they good? Do you know where they’re from?” K asked.

“As good as my *ss! I don’t even know which cyber café they are from. They think that getting team shirts from a small-time t-shirt maker will make them a team.” Xu Ben replied.

“How would you know?” K continued.

“Heh, if they were used to playing in these competitions, they would definitely know about this cybercafe. Didn’t you see them looking lost like idiots over there?” Xu Ben said with a smirk directed at the five people in the corner of his eye.

…

“Hello, are you here to compete in the LOL competition?” The server asked politely as she walked toward Luocheng.

“Yes, where can we sign up? Will we be playing immediately after that?” Lin Dong nodded and asked.

“Is this your first time competing in a city competition?” The server asked with a smile.

“Hmm, I guess it is.” Wu Sen said after stuttering slightly.

The city competition, especially these types of small-time competitions had never really caught Team Skycrown’s eye, so they had never competed in one yet, especially after the time when they had gotten the qualifications to play in the seasonal competition after playing in the online competition. After that, they had gotten to play in the LPL and since then, they did not participate in any competitions anymore.

“I’ll explain it to you. The city competition will not need you to sign up in advance, you can play as soon as you arrive as long as you have five members.” The female server wearing a maid café outfit explained.

“So that’s how it is. If that is so, then a hastily-formed team can also participate then?”

“That is correct, as long as you have five people.” The female server nodded.

“Then, can we start right now?” Luocheng asked.

“Yes, you can. If you want to participate, you can get ready right now to play against Team Demolition.” The female server glanced toward the group of people at the competition area.

“Oh~ so that’s them.” Lin Dong dragged out his voice purposely.

“Are you sure you want to join now? Just a gentle reminder, if you join right now, your enemy will be Team Demolition, the team which just signed up before you. They were the champions for last month’s competition and are very strong. If you don’t have the confidence, it might be a wise decision to have some coffee and wait till the next team comes in to sign up. This would be better for you so that you won’t be immediately disqualified from the competition. As this is a bracketed competition, you will be disqualified if you lose a match.” The server said with a sweet smile.

“How much is it for a cup of coffee? Da Luo asked.

It wasn’t everyday that they got to be in such a high-class place, Da Luo also wanted to know the price for future reference.

“That would be thirty-seven dollars. A lunch here normally costs slightly over fifty dollars. A cup of coffee and some food…” The server continued.

“D*mn… That is just too expensive. Never mind, we will join right now.” Da Luo said.

Thirty-seven dollars for a cup of coffee!? A little more than that and they would be able to eat a very affordable self-served meal! They had not eaten meat for days!

“We will immediately register and start playing against them then. By the way, beautiful, can the internet fee be on the house? We are quite poor right now after selling the last pot in our house to get a taxi to come here to compete. The fees are too high for us. Why not give me your gaming ID and I will bring you up the ranks?” Luocheng asked.

“The fees are already free.” The server smiled, and it seemed like she was amused by Luocheng’s joke. Soon after, she smirked, saying, “You want to get my ID? The members in Team Demolition are still lining up to bring my rank up. You guys should know where your power lies. There are many people who haven’t been in this kind of competition and think that they can be the champions for the competition, but they usually end up being the first ones to be eliminated. I’ve seen too many people who have gotten their pride crushed.”

Da Luo and Wu Sen were both shocked. Luocheng was really too shameless, trying to obtain someone’s ID out of the blue, how was it different from asking for someone’s phone number?

“Heheh.” Luocheng scratched his head awkwardly, as his motive was found out.

How could the girls in this era be so careful? Perverts that were on Luocheng’s level never asked for people’s phone number, instead, immediately asking for their ID. After waiting for these people to come online and bringing them to win a few matches, it was almost a given that they would become acquainted.

“Ahem, bro, don’t blame me for not warning you but…. look behind you.” Lin Dong coughed.

As Luocheng looked behind him, a beautiful girl was already standing there, her eyebrows furrowed and her cheeks puffed.

“Um… Qianqian, you’re early… let me explain…” Luocheng’s words started to stutter.

…

They really couldn’t afford the coffee here.

Upon entering the competition area, they immediately saw the arrogant teen from earlier and his teammates sitting there. All of them had a cup of coffee with them, and they noticed Team Skycrown walking toward them.

The competition judge had already arrived, and coincidentally, it was the girl who had served them. As she smiled at Luocheng gently, Qianqian pinched Luocheng’s arm mercilessly.

“Log in to your own QQ accounts and wait for five minutes after creating your name. After that, relog and your gold and level will be refreshed. You will be given ten minutes to buy your heroes and runes. After thirteen minutes, Team Demolition will be creating a room. On the left will be Team Demolition, while Team Birdie will be on the right. After picking the players, no one is permitted to leave the match.” The judge spoke up.

“Xiao Ya, we already know all this. Anyway, what time will you be getting off work? After this match, let’s go grab a bite.” Xu Ben said as he leaned back in his chair lazily.

Xiao Ya was clearly annoyed by him and responded, “Stop making a fuss, you know that they don’t know the rules.”

“Oh, oh, yeah, definitely. I almost forgot that the guys in front of me are competing for the first time. Which cybercafe are you from? You probably haven’t participated in a real competition before, right?” Xu Ben said.

“We are from Sandy County. We really haven’t competed in this type of competition. This is our first time, go easy on us.” Luocheng said with a big smile on his face.

“Is that a place in Hangzhou?” K said with a suspicious look.

A chubby member of Team Demolition cut in, “There are so many counties in Hangzhou, how would you remember every single one of them? Anyway, I bet it’s just a small county with a crappy cybercafe. I guess they were called pros in that cybercafe and thought that they were good… let’s crush them later.”

“Treat this as an entertainment, don’t play too seriously. Don’t bully these folks from the rural areas.” K also laughed slyly.

…

Both teams had finished creating their accounts.

After five minutes of creating their character, their RP had reached two hundred thousand.

“Wow, I have two hundred thousand RP now, I can buy so many champions and skins now!” After a pause, Luocheng shouted, astonished.

Wu Sen, Lin Dong, Zhou Yan, and Da Luo, all looked at Luocheng, puzzled. What was there to be shocked about, it was not the first time they had joined a competition.

Just as they were wondering what had happened to Luocheng, they noticed the enemy team tittering and making fun of them, and suddenly, they realized what Luocheng was doing, and so…

“Holy sh*t! It’s true, I also have two hundred thousand RP now. Miss Beautiful Judge, can I use these to buy anything I want? Any heroes or any skins I want?” Lin Dong followed up on Luocheng’s act very quickly.

“Me too, me too! This is so much money, I did not think that I would get so much money and skins! It would be worth it even if we lose!” Da Luo said very emotionally.

Luocheng glanced at his extremely cooperative teammates. Man, this is what you called brothers, this is what you called understanding!

At this time, the five members of Team Demolition were already laughing uncontrollably.

“You… you guys are just too funny!” Xu Ben could hardly breathe.

These few people were really idiots! They didn’t even know what a competition account was!

The money in the competition account was only available during the competition. When the members of Team Demolition heard someone saying “I did not think that I would get so much money and skins”, they could not stop laughing!

What was it about their luck today, how could they be put up against such a funny team? This was amazing!

…

“Alright, the competition is starting. Team Birdie, as a reminder, after the match has begun, you may not leave or your team will be immediately disqualified.” Xiao Ya also couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Where were these guys from? Didn’t they know that the people right in front of them were the monthly champions, Team Demolition? Other teams which met with them always ended up losing. These idiots were excited about two hundred thousand RP that couldn’t be brought back!

“Hmm? What is wrong with this? Why can’t I pick my champion?” Luocheng asked, seemingly confused.

The pretty judge looked over at Luocheng’s computer, puzzled.

Don’t tell me your team has never even played a ranked match and you dare to come to a competition?

It was still the banning phase, what do you mean ‘pick your champion’!?

The other members of Team Skycrown looked at him, dumbfounded.

Luocheng, that’s enough! If your act is too fake, you will be found out!

However, after hearing continuous laughter from the other side, they stopped talking.

Qianqian who was standing at the side also couldn’t take it anymore and turned around to laugh.

She was really curious, did those people not watch the LPL? How could they not recognize Team Skycrown? Was there really that much of a difference between the screen and reality?
