In the end, Shi Luo didnt go out to dinner with the team. He went back to the base alone and ordered takeaway. Then after a shower, he went to the training room.
Those whod gone out for dinner hadnt co back yet and so the training room was empty. Shi Luo sat by himself in front of his computer.
Shi Luo usually didnt involve himself with the teams group activities. He had no friends in IAC. It wasnt the team who was isolating him but Shi Luo himself who preferred to keep a strictly professional relationship with the team.
Compared with the other people in the team, who took pains to socialize, Shi Luo preferred to train by himself. Occasionally, when he felt troubled and wished to talk to others, it wouldnt be with the other mbers of the team.
Like now.
Shi Luo sat in front of the computer and opened Wawas live broadcast.
In the live broadcast room, Wawa had his webcam open and he was tearfully complaining about Shi Luo.

Thirteen Kills !!!
In the first match of the preseason inaugural ga, I was killed thirteen tis!!!
Do you know what that ans? It ans I did only one thing throughout the entire ga! Just one thing!!! I ran from the resurrection stone to the front line!!!
And when I reached the front line, Evil shot
dead!!! Then Id just repeat the entire process all over again!
I was like a poorly written training script!!! Id revive and hand over my head! Revive, hand over head; revive, hand over head!!!
Really, I have already ntally collapsed. Oww, my stomach hurts...
Shi Luo took his mouse and made a few clicks.
In the broadcast, Wawa covered his face and cried. When he heard the distinctive notification sound, he looked up and sniffed. Soone gave a reward? Thank you to Papa Shi for the three teor showers.
Woah! Three!!! Thank you to Papa Shi for the reward...Hey, no!
Wawa cried angrily, Shi Luo!!!
Shi Luo laughed.
Wawa was fuming and said between gritted teeth, So people already think I took money from your club to throw the match today!!! And now youre even giving
a reward!!!
Shi Luo smiled. He then rewarded Wawa with five more teor showers worth three thousand yuan each.
Fine, fine. Seriously, stop sending rewards. Just invite
out to eat sowhere good so ti. Wawa was an honest young man. He didnt want Shi Luo to waste any more money on the live broadcast platforms processing fees and had him stop sending rewards.
If you dont have anything on right now, should we pair up for a match? Ill hold your thigh and leech off so points. That can be your apology to .
Shi Luo didnt respond, but he gave every single one of his complentary popularity gifts given by the platform to Wawa. He the closed the live platform and opened the ga client.
Shi Luo tead up with Wawa, and the two waited for a match on the national server.
Wawa sent a voice chat request and Shi Luo accepted.
Wawa was still sobbing. You guys were absolutely vicious today! Too vicious! You guys ripped
apart and I had absolutely no way to fight back ...
The two entered the map, and Shi Luo said, That was the point.
Wawa cried, What did I ever do to provoke you?
Shi Luo said. It had nothing to do with you.
It had barely been a year since Wawa entered the business. He really had no idea about the old scores, Shi Luo and Yu Sui needed to settle. He said ignorantly, If not with
then with who? Even an idiot could see that you were targeting
today.
Shi Luo bought the basic equipnt. Didnt I already apologize?
Okay. Wawa sighed. Im not blaming you. If it were , I would have also gone for the dic. I absolutely sucked in the early part of the match.
I just cant do it the way Yu Shen does it. My skills just cant keep up. His skills just blows
away.
Shi Luo paused.
Shi Luo stopped talking and he took Wawa to clear the fog.
Wawa was still feeling regretful. Sigh, it was the sa type of play but the way Yu Shen plays is so natural and spontaneous. When he demonstrated it to , I could just swoon. Really, hes a dic but he can suppress the opponents strikers.
He got my blood boiling! I was so fearless and raring to go try it out against your team and then you guys just ripped
to shreds.
Shi Luo killed one of their opponents but he still did not speak.
Yu Shen is really amazing. Sigh, I give up. Im not gonna play as an assassin-type dic, I cant do it. Ill stick with being an honest milk tank.
Shi Luo seed to be absent-minded. Youre already pretty good. Theres no need for you to copy soone elses style.
Wawa sighed, Our captain told
to learn, how can I not listen? Our captain said that while I still havent finalized my style, I should try out other styles. And thats what Im doing.
I was actually afraid of Yu Shen but I totally didnt expect that hed be so nice. I kept asking so many things but he never grew impatient. Its probably just to give our captain face, though. Wawa said helplessly, Yu Shens a good teacher, but Im a lousy student.
Im doing my best but if you cant learn, you cant learn.
Shi Luo said, Just let it be then.
The Captain also thinks I should just forget about it, but our manager hasnt given up. He insists that I continue practicing. Whatever, itll be to my benefit anyway. If they want
to practice, then Ill practice, Wawa said sowhat miserably.
Say...Shi Ge, can I practice with you? Let
play in the front row and you take care of .
Shi Luo had been lost in thought when he was listening to Wawa. Once he had recovered his senses, he said, Alright.
They had absolutely thrashed Wawa on the field that morning, so Shi Luo felt a bit guilty. So when Wawa said that he wanted to use him to practice, he didnt think twice and imdiately agreed. However, not even ten minutes later, he was already regretting his decision.
The reason wasnt him but because Wawas play as an assassin-type dic just f-ing sucked!
Except for when he played his side account for live broadcasts, Shi Luo hasnt co across such a sh*t dic in a very long ti!
From the very first day, Shi Luo started playing this ga he has never cursed at dic. But today might just be the day he breaks that vow!
You f- ... Shi Luo gritted his teeth and swallowed back the words into his stomach, Far! Youre too far ahead ... Cant you judge first how many people the other team has?
You sh- ...should slow down, okay?
You w- ... West! Go to the west side? Did you hear ?
Go !!!! Didnt you hear ? !!!
The two of them tead up to play matches for two hours and Shi Luos main accounts rank on the national server bungee jumped from the top and dove to no. 17.
After playing a match, Shi Luo took a look at the list of the Top 100 on the national server. When he saw that hed dropped to 19, he was rendered completely speechless.
Shi Luo didnt want to curse him out in public so he lit a cigarette.
Wawa tread very carefully. Shi Ge? Should we...still continue to play?
Shi Luo blew out so smoke. After a long beat of silence, he said, Do you know how many high-score matches I have to play every week to keep my no. 1 position on the national server?
I had kept my no. 1 ranking for four months now. If I hadnt lost my position today, I would have broken the record in just half a month more...
Shi Luo began to doubt if Wawa was as honest a person as he thought. Are you playing ?
Wawa wanted to cry. Id love it if I were just playing you. But Im just really sh*t at this. You go smoke.
I think you probably need to cool off.
Shi Luo held his cigarette in his mouth. He shook his head, No, no, no. Look for Captain Gu and ask him to practice with you. Im not going with you anymore.
Wawa was so worried, his stomach began to hurt. He quit practicing with
a long ti ago. My assassin-type dic actually managed to repulse a striker.
Shi Luo said, I consider you as one of my few friends so I sincerely advise that you give up.
I think so too. Obviously, assassin-type dics can only be discovered and not sought. I dont want to keep doing this ... hey! Wawa suddenly rembered sothing, Shi Ge, werent you an assassin-type dic before you changed to a striker?
Shi Luo took a drag off his cigarette and murmured vaguely.
What a rare talent! Why did you change jobs? What a waste!!! Wawa thought for a mont, and then said, But then, youve also reached the top as a striker so that cant be considered a waste. But theres so few good dics and assassin-type dics are even rarer.
Its a pity.
Shi Luo withdrew from the map. Theres nothing regrettable about it.
Wawa still felt sore. Its nice when you know youve got strong backing ... But why did you change occupations? Aaaaaaaahhhhhh, it really is too bad.
Shi Luo ignored Wawa. After smoking a cigarette, he was ready to shut down his computer. Wawa, though, was still asking his question and raising a ruckus. Shi Luo couldnt help laughing.
Even I myself dont think its a waste. So why are you feeling distress in my place?
It just feels like such a waste ... Wawa beat his breast and stamped his feet, feeling vexed. If you hadnt changed occupations, you wouldnt have transferred clubs. Youd still be NSNs dic. It wouldve great to be your sub!
I would have happily served as Shi Ges footman, ah ...
Shi Luo scoffed.
Wawas curiosity was piqued. So tell , why did you change jobs?
Shi Luo lit another cigarette.
Because ...
Shi Luo was annoyed. There was an official statent back then. Check it out for yourself.
Wawa said anxiously, Co on, just tell . I entered the scene late so I have no idea about these stuff that happened a long ti ago.
Shi Luo said, The official statent goes like...
Shi Luo thought back on it and slowly said, Evils desired path of developnt in the ga no longer coincides with that of a dics. To force him to continue on as such would simply cause suffering, and so ...
Wawa probed out, Wait a minute, allow
to translate it to plain English. ... Evil has gotten sick of playing dic, so he has decided to quit being a dic, right?
Shi Luo said, You can actually translate that even more plainly.
Wawa reinterpreted, Im not playing a f*cking dic. Laozi wont be adding blood anymore.
Luo Shi nodded his approval.
Aweso. Real aweso. Wawa gasped in admiration, giving a slow, dazed applause. Actually, every once in a while, I get the sa idea. But I dont dare to actually go through with it.
Shi Luo smiled and continued: ... After thorough discussion between Evil and the managent of the NSN Clubs FOG branch, it was agreed upon by both parties that Evil Xuanshou will transfer to striker from today.
Because NSNs roster for strikers is currently full, the Club will make further arrangents in accordance with Evils personal wishes.
Shi Luo smoked his cigarette. End of statent.
While chatting with Shi Luo, Wawa had opened the official website of the FOG China Division League. He entered Shi Luos player ID to search for the official statent from two years ago, and finally found it.
Although Shi Luo was still a rookie at that ti, he was already a half-celebrity. At that ti, the League Managent treated the announcent of Shi Luos change in jobs very seriously. A poster had even been drawn up for it.
In the poster, two ga characters stood behind Shi Luo. Standing in the shadow and holding a three-faced six-cornered photon shield was Shi Luos previous dic ga character. Standing under the spotlight, carrying a sub-machine gun was Shi Luos newly built striker.
Wawa said hesitantly, Although I can understand being sick of playing a dic, but at the ti you didnt know if youd be able to beco a top player after changing to a striker. Changing so hastily ... That was too s- ... ...uh.
Shi Luo said it for him. Too stupid.
Shi Luo took another puff of his cigarette. Back then, I was an idiot, all right. But thats not actually the reason why I changed jobs.
In an instant, Wawa beca even more curious. They why?!
Shi Luo stubbed out his cigarette. Im not going to tell you. Im off. Shi Luo then shut down the computer and went to sleep.
Once Shi Luo said he was off, he left imdiately. The fans who were listening in on the two people chatting in Wawas live broadcast room suddenly exploded. Wawa was afraid he might have said sothing wrong accidentally while he was swept by Shi Luos rhythm.
He turned off the live broadcast in a flurry.
In NSN teams training room, Captain Gu Gan got up to pour himself a glass water. Wawa took off his headphones and asked offhandedly, Captain, when Shi Shen was in our team, why did he suddenly change to a striker?
Gu Gan paused in his steps and looked at the person who had been playing with his phone by the window. Because that guy caused trouble for him.
Wawa was stunned. Yu Shen?
Wawa thought about it and said, No, thats not possible. At that ti, didnt Yu Shen already transfer to the European region? How could he ...
I was precisely because they were no longer on the sa team. Gu Gan said calmly. At the ti, we had a scheduled practice match with a European team. It just so happened that we played against Yu Suis new team. Shi Luo was our teams dic.
We played three matches and lost three matches. Shi Luo was targeted throughout all three of the matches. By the last ga ... Shi Luo hadnt been able to step foot outside the resurrection stone except during the beginning of the ga.
Wawa was stricken. Isnt that way worse than what happened to
today?
What happened to you today was nothing. Gu Gan said, The European team stepped all over our resurrection stone. Theyd kill as soon as a player resurrected. Resurrect and kill, resurrect and kill. And the one who had their dic kill our players was him, Yu Sui.
At the ti, by the last match we had already retreated from the map. We had absolutely no ans to fight back so it didnt make sense to waste ti. Only Shi Luo hadnt retreated. He alone remained on the map.
Hed stand up and die, stand up and die...
In FOG, the players character will incur so scars and blood stains after being injured. Even if the character was resurrected during the sa match, the scars and blood on the character will not disappear. If a player was continuously killed and resurrected ...
Wawa imagined that scene and asked, How many tis did...he die?
Thirty-four tis. Gu Gan looked at Yu Sui who was still playing with his mobile phone, Right?
Wawa was incredulous. Thirty-four tis? !!!
Yu Sui was still looking at his phone, and he humd his assent.
In that ga that year, Shi Luos in ga character was horrifically wounded. Half of its face was soaked in blood, scarred beyond recognition.
Wawa struggled to say, ...At the ti, hed just had his contract sold by you. Yu Shen, if this were a shonen manga, youd be a villain.
Yu Sui had been a bit lost in thought, and then he smiled to himself and said, Even when not in a shonen manga, I had already long been the villain.
Ah, thats right. Gu Gan said, If I rember correctly, there was only two tis when the haters in the dostic e-sports circle united together against a common enemy.
The first ti was when Yu Sui led away his team to Europe, and the second ti was because Shi Luo had been sold twice within three months.
All the haters in the e-sports forums worked together to co out with sensational videos and they Photoshop-ed funeral pictures and posted it everywhere... Everything just shy of hiring hitn and having them waste Yu Suis hands.
Gu Gan quietly sumd it up. The first person to unify the e-sports haters
Whisper, Yu Sui.
Yu Sui smiled. That should be my calling card.
Wawa gave Yu Sui an awkward look. He didnt dare joke around with Yu Sui, so he simply continued playing.
