Players Trapped in Secret Room

Book 4: The Return of the King

Chapter 9

The year Solo retired, the headline in the CS circle was that the most outstanding
commander had retired.

Though he was only a captain for two years and played solo games the rest of the
time, people were most impressed by his leadership.  He never became violent or
cursed. He was also very respectful to the media. The subject he liked most to talk
about during interviews was his teammates.  During competitions, he was the one
who always dressed most appropriately.The foreign media had an interview with him.  
The first sentence in his introduction was the following: When most people were still
playing in the internet cafe, he was already playing with the standards of a professional
esports athlete.

Book 4: The Return of the King

Chapter 8

Though Solo occupied the memory of her entire youth, the time they were
together wasn’t actually for that long.

To call it their story, it was probably more appropriate to call it the story of
Solo’s team.

The story circulated in every corner of the internet, because the team was
a living dream.  They had created too many miracles.

But if one could really go back to that time.

Then you will find that the sites where all the miracles were created were
hardly glorious.

There was no high end stadium like the ones that would appear ten years
later.  There was no large high definition screen that showed the live stream.
There was no professional game commentators with high pay.  There was no
TV station or web page to make live broadcasts on.

There weren’t many people in the audiences back then either.

……

“I believe that everyone should be very familiar with the usernames you’ve
seen so far.”  A teenage Slide holding the microphone talked excitedly. He
coughed, “You don’t need me to make any extra introductions about Solo’s team.  
You knew all these star players very well. They are all idols, including Gou Gou,
a player I greatly admire myself.”

Many players in the audience jeered, laughed, and booed.

Only players on Buff’s team despised it.

The hot blooded Buff despised the excessive promotion of idol players.

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 26 Part 2

Lu Sicheng, resting his chin on one hand, was deep in thought with his eyes cast
down. Xiao Rui, meanwhile, was still mumbling behind him-- --

“Anyway, I still can’t understand why Ah Tai’s strategy of ‘using your specialized
champion to defeat you’ works so well with all you professional players? …...It worked
on Niu god before, and the same to Tong Yao today.  Wouldn’t it make more sense that
it would be even more upsetting if someone defeated you while you were using your
specialized champion?”

“Is it that difficult to understand?”

Lu Sicheng played around with the mouse-- --

“It’s because when you play a champion well, it means that you not only know about
the champion’s abilities and capabilities well, it also includes your understanding of
the whole game. Therefore, once you’re defeated……”

“What happens then?”

“Let me put it this way, suppose you’re always good at English growing up, superior
than all the people around you, even the English teachers. You’re always in all the
school activities and speech contests, even becoming a legend in English studies in
the whole city-- --Until one day, you’re invited to attend a national English summer
camp and discovered that everyone in the camp is at least as good as you. There are
occasions that you can’t even understand what some of them are saying. Just as you
are feeling overwhelmed, they turn around to laugh at you: How did you even qualify to
be in this summer camp?”

Those Sweet Times

Chapter 3 Part 2

While he was feeling sorry for himself, there was someone shouting in the hallway,
“We’re short one player for Mahjong. Anyone interested?”

Lin Chuyan rushed to open the door and yelled in the hallway, “I’m in.”

“Lin Chuyan?”

“Yeah, it’s me.”

“Get lost! ! !”

“......”

Lin Chuyan grew even sadder.

Last school year, he did well in Mahjong and earned a lot of spending money from it.
This semester…...all the Mahjong players at school were boycotting him. Even those
who loved to play card games had also secretly imposed a ban on him.

Zheng Dongkai: “Chuyan, maybe you should find a side job.”

“Why don’t you find a side job?”

Chapter 26 Part 1

[Subject] [Let me tell you a joke about the best Leblanc in the nation]

First post, [OP]:

Happened to see the skirmish between ZGDX and Korean TAT-- --You all know
that usually skirmishes aren’t posted online, there’s a high likelihood it was
released on purpose…...When OP saw it, the skirmish had already started for a
few minutes. First blood was on ZGDX Mid, without a gank. Smiling was killed by
one person.

In any case, ZGDX lost miserably. TAT Ah Tai used Leblanc to smash Smiling to
pieces and she became the weakest link……

You could tell that the other teammates were trying hard to turn the match around.

An Azir who can’t hold mid is a retard, she got killed right after using her ultimate
during the team fight. The other side’s creep score was double hers!  How could
they possibly do well in the future…...Look what exactly the “domestic mid hope”
that you all boasted about is really like.

The following were some of Chuyan’s Moments.

October 13: How one feels after eating steamed buns and pickled mustard for
a week. (With picture of the steamed buns)

October 8: Hungry, I want to steal if from them. (With picture of stray cats eating
roasted sausages)

September 26: Can’t afford to buy a new one, sewing it up myself. (With picture
of a rip on the T shirt)

……

Xiang Nuan couldn’t believe her eyes. She had seen many Moments where
people show off how rich they were. This was the first time she had seen anybody
showing off how poor he was. From the tone of his Moments, it seemed that he
didn’t feel embarrassed or frustrated about being poor. On the contrary…...he seemed
to be proud about it?

Which planet did this weirdo come from……

He took his hand back.

He was used to handling these situations.  She was fine, just emotional.

“Slide and the others are all men, they aren’t as fragile as you think.”  He lowered
his head and kissed her hair, “SP is a well established club and the two bosses of
the Asian region are veterans in the esports circle.  It’s a minor issue for them. A
very minor issue.”

Ai Qing bit her lower lip and nodded, responding in a soft nasally voice.  “Uhm.”

But regardless of her personal friendships and worries…...as an SP manager, she
couldn’t ignore the fact that she was affecting the players’ mood and the club’s reputation.
In this circle everything was a business, from various large competitions to clubs.  Fans,
sponsors, and competitions were all very important.
