Qianxi unexpectedly found Xu Jimo in the hallway.

He was coming right towards her and there was no place for her to hide. This time she couldn’t think of an excuse.

She was on the phone with the someone who wouldn’t stop talking, “Ms. Ye, our company is sincerely inviting you to work as our regular hostess. We’ll pull our resources together to present you; you will be treated even better than Xiaoyue. For the signing bonus, we can pay up to……”

She didn’t really catch the figure; all her attention shifted onto the man who appeared at the other end of the hallway.

Their tactic was quite insidious.

Such a large number of traps was the same as sacrificing two players by not giving them any weapons. Instead, they used all the money to buy traps and flares.

They had turned what normally was a fierce round of shooting into a stalling game by rigging everything.

But they had to admit.

It was a sound strategy for the defenders on the hostage rescue game mode.  It was a tactic quite suitable for bandits.

Ai Qing looked at the countdown timer on screen.  There was still three minutes left.

The game would finish in three minutes.  They would lose if they couldn’t find the hostages in those three minutes.

With gun in hand, she closely followed behind Dt southwest.  They could no longer see Grunt and Inin behind them.

There was the sound of an explosion from the distance followed by a great plume of fire.

She rolled forward to the left and entered a convenient store.  Amid growing sound of exploding bombs, she heard Dt through the earphones, “Go upstairs.  Left back.”  She looked around and found stairs, hidden by a pile debris.

She jumped up in a few steps.

There was a trail of fluorescent powder on the ground.  Did Dt make it?  He was so smart, even buying fluorescent powder.  She followed the trail until she reached the rooftop and discovered that Dt was walking on a steel wire to the rooftop of another building.

“You really bought a lot supplementary items……”

Dt replied, “I only bought one gun.  I don’t have much ammo either, I need to use it sparingly.”

Appledog said,  “It doesn’t matter.  I have plenty.”

“......Didn’t you worship those professional players? If…...I mean if, if you knew them and one of them probably likes you.” Qianxi solemnly asked, “ Would you accept?”

“That depends! My little god is still underage, I’d be feeling guilty……”

“Not like that!”

“It still depends. If it’s K god, then I’m certainly willing even if it’s just one night!”

Tong Yao staggered with all the shopping bags back to her room. Before she could open the door, she got a call from her best friend, Jinyang, and her first words were, “Your future team lost the final.”

“Hum.” Tong Yao absent mindedly answered. She still remembered the back of that young man walking out of the elevator. Somehow, she felt that his back was silently mocking her.

“I heard that Ming god wasn’t in a good shape after the fourth match so they replaced him with some random guy for mid, and his overall map awareness wasn’t very good either-- --”

“What are you, a Platinum, talking about map awareness.”

“I was going to say that ‘he’s totally not as good as you,’ now I’m going to take that back. What’s wrong with the fact that I’m a Platinum!  At least I wash my hair every day!”

“......not as good as you.” She said.

Xu Jimo was unsuccessful in stifling his laughter.

It was the first time he laughed today, actually it was the first for the last few days.

He couldn’t help wanting to hear more words of comfort from her, “Am I that good?”

Qianxi bashfully lowered her head, “Not as of late.”

She lightly tapped the ground a couple of times.

Aside from the original teammates who fought side by side with her in the old days, nobody else had ever received Appledog’s blessings.

But now------

Dt moved his fingers around, preparing for the match.

No one was allowed into the room except for players from both teams. The so called die-hard Dt fans had to stay outside waiting for the result.

Ai Qing sat at the edge of the pool, wrapped in a bath towel. She dipped her feet in the water and let her mind wander.

Dt returned with her clothes and squatted down behind her. He put down the clean gauze and iodine on the floor, then he sat down legs crossed, “Let me disinfect your wounds first.”

“En.” She lowered her eyes to see his exposed knees under his shorts.

He did scrape his knees when he fell.  “Aren’t you going to disinfect and wrap your wound?”

He shook his head silently.  If both of them had bandages on at the same time, even if one is on the forehead and the other on a knee, it would look very strange to the others.  He didn’t want to cause her any trouble.

The ZGDX substitute for the fifth round was one of the youth trainees from the club. He didn’t have much experience playing in major competitions. It was understandable that he was somewhat overwhelmed when his first game was the final round of the Spring season finals-- --

The enemy jungler took advantage of the situation.

Ten minutes into the fifth round, that damn Jian Yang practically lived at mid. He attacked mid four times in ten minutes, succeeding three times. ZGDX’s substitute mid had 0 kills, 3 deaths, and 0 assists-- --

Though ZGDX’s top and bot had the upper hand, mid was a lost cause, the enemy had turned it into no man’s land.

Qianxi kept recalling the first time she met him when she bombarded him with questions and he firmly, but gloomily answered-- --

“TI.”

“I’ll be the TI champion, this year.”

At the time, she would never have imagined that she would be standing under the stage witnessing his journey towards that goal.

Twenty minutes into the first round, KG was behind by a large margin. Facing the fierce attack from the enemy, they could only react passively and endure the pounding.

Qianxi nervously turned her head to find Tundra next to her.

On the other side.

Outside the arena.

Tong Yao ended the call and walked back towards the arena. She heard the two commentators talking about today’s matches-- --

Commentator A: [It’s 2 to 1 now. ZGDX leading by one -- --If CK still underperforms on the next one, they will probably lose the Spring season championship and the chance to go to the MSI mid-season tournament!]

Commentator B: [This match is equally important to ZGDX as well. It’s not just the ticket to the mid-season tournament, it’s also the finale of Ming god’s professional career. I think, no matter what, he would like to have perfect ending……]

Despite being uneasy in front of him, she tilted her head up confidently, “Why are you looking at me like that. You hugged me before…...and didn’t ask for my permission then.”

Last night was the first time she’d been carried like a princess.  The memory was still vivid in her mind.

All the staff nearby took notice of their conversation.

Feeling multiple pairs of eyes on them, Xu Jimo felt it was time to stop her.

“I won’t let you down.” He put the watch on slowly. “Satisfied?”

She jumped down from the massage chair barefoot.

There was a very large heated swimming pool on the second floor.

The massage rooms surrounded the swimming pool with openings facing the pool. From her view point, she could even see two lovers lying on the chair kissing affectionately in the room at the other side of the pool……

She had no choice but to turn her back to the swimming pool, facing him.

“I watched your final match today.  It reminded me the first time I watched a StarCraft competition.  Was it in 2000?  Boxer[1] was playing.”

Boxer was born in 1980 and he was a first generation esports player, WCG Hall of Fame member, and a pioneer of esports.

That was…...the person who started the collective esports dream.

It was the summer of 2003, she was waiting outside the train station for Solo’s return from a competition in Guangzhou.

It was crowded.

Because she had used up all her minutes on her cell phone for that month, she was reluctant to call.  In order to save money, they used text message to communicate with each other until he brought a young man dressed in all black in front of her and stretched out two arms to her.  She jumped at him, circling around his waist.  She also took a peek at the beautiful and aloof young man meanwhile.

Later, they became comrades after playing 20 CS games.

Solo told her that Gun was a non-professional player he met during the tournament in Guangzhou.  He was great and had a promising future.  Because he wanted to play esports but his stepmother wouldn’t support him, so he returned to China by himself.

“Return to China” was a novel term to her at the time.

A young man who grew up in a foreign country, with English as his mother language.  He didn’t seem to have come from the same planet as Solo and herself.

“Hello? Tong Yao? I saw the ZGDX official announcement on Weibo. Why are you coming here to play professionally? Even join ZGDX? Weren’t you against playing professionally and now you end up coming here……”

Jian Yang waited till the noise on the phone quieted down. Tong Yao probably had come out of the arena to talk…...when she seemed to have found a good place, she spoke. Jian Yang paused a little and irritatedly circled around the inside of the restroom-- --

Wei Lai was the first to arrive to the meeting room. Cheng Yang and Li Cang, who had just reviewed the replay, also arrived. Cherry and Xu Jimo were the last to arrive. This was the most depressing meeting the team ever had. Everyone took turns to speak, discuss, and make a conclusion. It was so orderly that it didn’t seem like it was the KG team.

Before the end of the meeting, Xu Jimo made an additional speech not related to the match. He basically told everyone that the intensity of training would increase from now on. Everyone should concentrate on the competition and he would lead by example.

After the speech, he was the first one to leave the room. Cheng Yang and Li Cang were left looking at each other.

Smiles appeared on the CK players after they evened the scores with ZGDX. They had all heard before the match that there was more big news. After the match, they swarmed into the rest area to check on their cell phones-- --

When Jian Yang stepped into the rest area, he heard the team’s top, Come Good Luck, stare at his own phone shouting, “Damn you! ! ! ! ! What’s this ZGDX Smiling mean! Damn you! ! ! ! They really found a girl to play professionally? ! ! !”

Jian Yang came to a halt before quickly walking over to take a look. He grabbed the phone from Come Good Luck and saw the Weibo page. His face suddenly turned pale-- --

Xu Jimo had both hands in his pockets as he silently watched Qianxi perform her solo act.

Her world always seemed to be so carefree. She could afford to be willful, discarding the ‘better’ choices and purely pursue freedom and her own happiness.

Sometimes, Xu Jimo would find her world very alluring.

Yet, just because it was an enticing way to live, Xu Jimo cautioned himself not to get involved too much. It would be a betrayal of the real world to get involved in a wonderland.

After a long while, Qianxi noticed his unusual silence tonight. She turned around in puzzlement to look at him somewhat disappointedly.

It appeared he couldn’t hold back after all. He stepped forward and picked her up, with one arm under the legs and the other to support her back.

Qianxi struggled, “Hey, what are you doing……”

“Didn’t you twist your ankle?”

“......I’m a dignified cripple!”

He saw her lower her head and type on her cell phone.  Shortly afterwards, he heard his own cell phone ring.

He hurried looked for his phone, not even had the time to thank the woman reporter who had passed over some napkins.

Ai Qing texted, “Have a good interview.  I’ll be waiting for you in the second floor to settle our bet.  In addition, please make sure to get rid of your fans.  Two tables, one o’clock.  Four tables, six o’clock.  One table, eleven o’clock.”

She didn’t go to the arena for the following competitions.

Inin’s confidence had been successfully restored. The rest had nothing to do with her anymore.

K&K successfully qualified for double-elimination and the finals.  The names for the last match were Dt vs Tatami.

Ai Qing watched the game live streamed from her hotel room.  Because the hotel was hosting the lodging for the players for the tournament, it had arranged the live stream to show on the television.  Especially in the finals, she could hear the excitement from the arena.

Perhaps due to the wonderful performance of Inin and Dt the other day, only 50% of the tickets for the finals had been originally sold but sold out within one hour after the quarter finals.

“There’s betting pool in America, it’s already several million US dollars.”  Baona casually joked around.  “Can you guess what the better odds are?”

Ai Qing glanced at the live broadcast.  The match was almost over.  “How much?”

“1.44 to 7.00.”  Baona said, “The odds for Dt is 1.44.  The odds against is 7.”

……

“Then if we bet on him losing, we can earn lots of money.”

Baona was perplexed, “Yeah, if he loses and you happen to bet on his loss.”

Ai Qing silently thought about it.  If she bet all her net worth on his loss and if he could cooperate with…… “No wonder there’re so many fixed games in various sports.”

The audience was working into a frenzy-- --dragon is a little boss at the early stage of the game. There are five different kinds, ocean, infernal, cloud, mountain, and elder dragons. The first four will appear randomly and by killing them, it will bring permanent buffs to the team…...An ocean dragon would increase the health regeneration of a team’s champions. If ZGDX could take down this ocean dragon, it was tremendously important to ZGDX to get every possible advantage in the early game to offset their lineup!

If they could take down this ocean dragon without the other team finding out, then it would be an easy boost for them!

All the ZGDX fans around Tong Yao cheered wildly!

The CK fans all watched nervously-- --
