Playing Fish Trapped in Secret Room

Book 4: The Return of the King

Chapter 29

The screen froze the moment Buff died.

The last round of the semi finals ended after thirteen minutes and
forty seconds.  SP would qualify for the finals.

There were Buff fans from the past sitting at the northwest corner
of the stands.

There were very few of them, about thirty.  They didn’t have the presence
compared to the other fan groups in the stadium.

But at that moment, the sound of their crying shook everybody’s heart.

Buff’s last moment of glory had come to an end.

People began to stand, sending off the veteran team.

Ai Qing also stood up in the commentator station, applauding as a
form of respect.

Inside the live broadcasting room, the producer began to play heavy
metal music making the moment even more poignant.  Five older men
with red eyes unplugged their keyboards and mouses, leaving the stage
one by one.

SP and K&K, as the two largest clubs, sat right at the very front seats in
the players area.

When Buff passed by Gun, Gun stretched out his right foot and blocked
his way.

The man with red eyes glanced at Gun sitting in his chair.  “I lost to SP,
not you.” What are you being arrogant for? Do you really think the whole
world will do as you say?

Gun squinted his eyes and flatly said,  “I will sign a contract with you for
one year.  I’ll take you to the Asian Tournament.”

Those words……

Buff was shocked.

His fate had yet to be determined.  It didn’t matter who won the championship,
both SP and K&K would represent China at the Asian Tournament.

According to the competition rules of <Secret Room Storm>, a team could
change their players at any time during the competition.

Gun’s invitation was very simple, joining K&K immediately and continue on
with the next round of competitions.

In Buff’s eyes, Gun was still so arrogant that he wanted to beat him up.

But……

One year.  Even after Solo’s team disbanded, his team had never qualified
for competitions outside Asia.  One year. That’s right. There was at most
one more year for him based on his age.

“Why?”  Buff asked in low voice.  “Why sign me up?”

Gun shrugged his shoulder.  “Because you’re ranked fourth.”

Solo sat across the aisle from Gun.  He slightly raised the corners of his
mouth.  Good reason……

“Ok. I’ll go to your hotel and sign tonight.”  Buff responded bluntly. “Let me
say goodbye to my brothers.”

“No problem.”

Buff carried his keyboard and walked towards the rear rows passing
between Gun and Solo.

Every footstep was light now.

Asian Tournament.  Though it would be his last year, he still had strong
desire to win the world championship!

“You need one more player.”  Solo spoke in low voice. “Then K&K’s
capabilities will get quite an upgrade.”

“I have Gou Gou to thank for that.  She disbanded a young team. They’re
all good players from the new generation.”  Gun spoke lightly. “She can
always help me out.” Regardless of whether it was during those days in
Solo’s team or her inadvertent actions now which allowed K&K to recruit
new troops quickly.

After tonight, K&K would quickly have new blood and prepare for the
Asian Tournament.
