“Hey, it’s you. What’s up?” Zhou Chao opened the door and saw the butler who had previously delivered tea to him.
“Mr. Zhou, my master would like to invite you to our house tomorrow. Do you have time?” The butler nodded slightly and respectfully inquired.
“Tomorrow? I happen to be free tomorrow. No problem. What time?”
“Tomorrow at noon.”
“Alright, I got it.”
The butler gave a slight bow and left.
Zhou Chao watched the butler’s departing figure and couldn’t help but sigh. “It would be great if 1 had such a good butler. I should have Ling Chen find me a good butler and nanny.”
After a moment of contemplation, he closed the door and walked into the house.
“I’m curious about our neighbor with the last name Zhang. I’m not sure if tomorrow’s invitation is for a special event or just a casual get-together. Well, no use pondering it now. I’ll find out tomorrow when I attend!”
Back in the house, he became lazy again and lay on the sofa, playing with his phone.
“LOL Summer Split officially starts!!” While browsing through Mou Yin’s content, Zhou Chao suddenly came across a video about the League of Legends Summer Split.
“Summer Split has started?” Zhou Chao looked at it with a hint of curiosity.
Soon, he finished watching the entire video. The Summer Split officially started today, on June 1st, and would last for 11 weeks with round-robin matches. Each club had its own home venue. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
“Does this mean that Meng Sanqian and the others are going back to Rong City?” Zhou Chao immediately sat up from the sofa and called Meng Sanqian.
The phone rang four or five times before someone answered on the other end.
“Hello, boss, sorry, I was packing just now!”
No problem. I saw that the LOL Summer Split has started. Do you guys need to return to Rong City to play?”
“Yes, we’re packing our bags, and we’ll take an early flight tomorrow.”
“Alright, 1 got it. Play well and aim for the championship!”
“Yes, boss!” Meng Sanqian felt motivated, knowing that this was Zhou Chao’s encouragement and a test for them.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao also did some thinking. After all, entering the world of LOL esports was just a casual move for him. As for how far they could go, it would depend on them.
However, Zhou Chao had a lot of information about the people he chose. After all, in another world, they had all stood on the highest podium, and he believed they wouldn’t disappoint him.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chao remembered the two gaming chairs he had specially purchased earlier. He picked up his phone and headed downstairs.
As he entered the game room, he saw two cool-looking spaceship-style gaming chairs placed in the center of the room. He was about to sit down when a thought flashed through his mind, and he turned and walked out.
In a short while, Zhou Chao returned with a plate of fruit, a jug of watermelon juice, and some snacks.
After arranging everything, he turned on the computer, adjusted it to the most comfortable angle, and started playing League of Legends.
It had been a while since he last played, so he checked the lineup and any changes in the game, as well as the equipment builds.
“Alright, let’s play together!” Zhou Chao embraced Jiang Li, gave her a kiss on the forehead, and said softly.
“Hmph, that’s more like it!” Jiang Li gave him a playful look and walked into the game room.
“Wow, this is so cool!” As soon as she walked in, she couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
How is it? Do you like it?” Zhou Chao leaned against the door frame, asking with a playful smile.
“I love it! It’s so cool, Brother Chao, come and teach me how to use it!
Zhou Chao approached and began to teach her how to operate it. It was straightforward, and in no time, Jiang Li had learned.
“Go! Go! Go! Tonight, I’m going to be the coolest player in the Rift!” Jiang Li switched on the computer with a passionate look, and Zhou Chao was surprised to find out that she had the talent of a gaming enthusiast.
Then, the two of them entered the game.
To ensure that she had a better gaming experience, Zhou Chao reluctantly teamed up with Jiang Li as the bottom lane duo. Of course, he played the support role.
He chose Blitzcrank which could tank and deal damage and paired it with Jiang Li’s AD carry, Ashe. The duo’s journey began, painful yet enjoyable.
The torment began quickly as Jiang Li, playing as Ashe, was directly caught and killed by the enemy jungler. Zhou Chao then began online coaching, but still couldn’t fend off Jiang Li’s poor performance. In the first game, Jiang Li ended with a score of 0-12-3.
“Still want to play?” Zhou Chao teased Jiang Li, who looked dejected.
“I want to play. Teach me!”
Sure!
They continued to play until midnight, with more losses than wins, but overall, Jiang Li’s skills had improved slightly.
“In the future, you should stick to the support role, okay? Look, we won the last game!”
“But playing ADC is so much fun! Playing support is boring; 1 don’t like it at all!”
“Take it slowly, and when your skills improve, you can try other roles.”
“Okay.” Jiang Li knew she wasn’t good at the game and could only follow Zhou Chao’s guidance.
“All right, it’s getting late. Let’s rest.”
“Yeah.”
As they got up, their stomachs rumbled.
Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li beside him and smiled. “Are you hungry?”
“A little bit!” Jiang Li blushed and gestured with her small hand.
“What do you want to eat? How about 1 make something?”
“It’s too late to cook now. How about we go out for barbecue?” Jiang Li’s pink tongue licked her lips, and she began to daydream about food.
“My little glutton, let’s get changed and go for barbecue!”
“Let’s just wear our pajamas. It’s too much trouble to change clothes now.” Jiang Li looked at the couple’s pajamas they were wearing.
“Okay, pajamas it is!” Zhou Chao held Jiang Li’s hand as they headed to the garage..
