CH 10

Rong Yi put down his tablet, lowered his eyes, and drank all the milk in one gulp.

It was expected that RS would lose, but it was not a happy thing.

Personal grudges were personal grudges. Rong Yi had a strong sense of the overall competitive situation. Who in the Chinese region wouldn’t want a team to win?

Rong Yi whispered, “I’m done watching. I’ll go practice some more.”

Xiao Yin was calmer than him. He turned off the screen and then pulled out a stack of documents from the gray marble table beside the sofa to make space. “Let’s do it here. They probably haven’t finished reviewing the game yet.”

Each person’s room was equipped with equipment. Rong Yi’s room was not set up yet because he had just moved in, but Xiao Yin’s room was good.

Rong Yi liked to stay silent and practice when he had something on his mind, so he didn’t say much. After logging into the device, he opened the training software and practiced his operation and last hitting.

The flashes on the screen came and went, leaving no trace. The snow was flying, and the output panel was silently increasing with terrible numbers per second.

Xiao Yin didn’t speak either. He pulled the blackout curtains in the room and lowered his head to type something on his laptop, calm and quiet.

After practicing for a while, Rong Yi gradually sorted out his thoughts and released the mouse.

Xiao Yin had his back turned to him and spoke in a steady tone with his peculiar magnetic hoarseness. “The first plan you submitted last time is feasible. Can you show me?”

The training data of each player would be fed back to the training system in real-time. Rong Yi just realized that he had been dealing damage for half an hour, and Xiao Yin had been watching silently for half an hour.

“Do you have any comments?”

Rong Yi set up five AI enemies and started moving around with his champion, his attention has been diverted.

“Among the teams that entered the preliminaries this year, there are wild cores, support cores, and bottom cores, but there is no mid-core.” Xiao Yin spoke like a real coaching staff of the team. “I want to hear the reason why you submitted this system.”

When submitting his proposal, the mid-core system was the first idea he had submitted, which he had tailored to his own position.

It was also a playstyle that had never been tested in RS before.

All the opportunities and sharpness he may have had in the past have been subdued for the past five years, like a hidden sword.

Now, he’s not sure if it can still be as sharp as it was before.

He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, “Actually, playing mid-core is more comfortable, but in recent seasons, the bottom core system has a high rate of return and error tolerance, and it requires high talent from players, so not many people play this way.”

In other words, very few people can adapt to the mid-core playstyle, as it requires player ability that is far higher than training results.

He opened his eyes, his peach blossom eyes looking at Xiao Yin, but his expression was very serious. “I also want to hear your opinion.”

Xiao Yin has shown his unique thinking since his early days in foreign training. He never takes the conventional path. Although some people attribute it to his personality, according to what Container knows about him, he never does anything without certainty.

“In AI route analysis, the mid-core playstyle actually has the highest resource utilization rate and the lowest support cost.” Xiao Yin turned his electric pen in his hand, his expression very calm. “VIT’s coach is actually AI, and your feeling is supported by data.”

In other words, the plan proposed by Rong Yi is the closest to a perfect solution.

Rong Yi was taken aback for a moment. As the captain of the RS team, he understood the influence of AI and data analysis in e-sports. However, based on his understanding, most teams were still hesitant to use them because AI was, after all, AI, and it was difficult to replicate human decision-making.

Secondly, most current teams did not have the technical conditions to implement AI. VIT had such technology, obviously thanks to Xiao Yin, but Rong Yi did not know him well enough.

While Rong Yi was lost in thought, Xiao Yin suddenly turned his head and looked at him. “I studied AI before I started playing e-sports,” he said, naming a well-known foreign university. “I was admitted at the age of sixteen, and started playing games during my gap year, then dropped out.”

Rong Yi thought for a while. This topic was a bit difficult for him, a student who didn’t even finish high school. He didn’t expect Xiao Yin to be a top student.

But it made sense. After breaking up with him, Xiao Yin went straight to foreign youth training. His network and wealth should far exceed Rong Yi’s imagination.

Rong Yi praised him sincerely, “That’s amazing.”

“What about you?”

Later, Rong Yi heard Xiao Yin asking him, his voice low and faint, “What you do, I don’t know much about.”

He stared at him in the semi-darkness, his eyes half-closed, with a calm and cool look, like a perfect boyfriend who followed the rules.

Of course, he didn’t know much about it. They had only been together for a little over a month, most of which they spent in bed…

Rong Yi hadn’t thought about their relationship with Xiao Yin for a week, and the topic suddenly became deeper, catching him off guard.

Rong Yi said, “Um…it’s okay not to know, I don’t really care.”

Xiao Yin didn’t say anything, just got up and walked towards him.

Rong Yi leaned back in his gaming chair, slightly higher than Xiao Yin’s, he was hidden in the chair alone, small. Xiao Yin walked up from behind him, reached out, and gently covered his soft and cool fingertips.

A faint, bitter scent of cleaning solution filled the air. It was a completely normal scent, but it seemed to have an intoxicating effect.

Xiao Yin maintained this gesture, without going further. Rong Yi didn’t raise his head, but he could feel Xiao Yin’s warm breath by his ear.

“Do you want to relieve some stress?” he heard Xiao Yin say.
