Playing Fish Trapped in Secret Room

Book 2: You’re Beautiful

Chapter 6

That night she stayed inside her room.

The grilled salmon she ordered was so unpalatable that it almost made her cry.  When she complained about the room service meal to Baona.  He instead gave her a mission out of the blue.  “I need you to fly to America.”

“America?”  She was surprised.  Why did she need to go there all of a sudden?

There wasn’t any offline competition for Secret Room Storm over there now.  Even if it was just for observation, there had to be a competition for her to go to.

“I’ll give you a short vacation and you help me lead a small team.”  Baona spoke with a grin.  He used his pen to poke the cup in front of him, “Inin hasn’t been in the best condition recently.  I hope that you can accompany him to the StarCraft 2 offline competition in America.”

Ai Qing thought about it.  Indeed, lately, that young boy had been having difficulty psychologically acclimatizing to the team.

He was a nice seedling, being careless might destroy him at such a young stage.

“We lost the championship in the exhibition tournament of Secret Room Storm.  Then he was ranked outside the top ten for two consecutive StarCraft 2 online competitions.  If he doesn’t adjust his condition ASAP……”  Baona explained in detail.

Ai Qing understood.  She smiled.  “It’s too much trouble to adjust his condition.  It would save all of us trouble by just winning a championship.”

Baona raised an eyebrow and laughed, “That’s it!  Just win a championship.  You must bring the championship back!”

Thus it was decided.

Airline ticket, hotel, and shuttle bus were all settled within half an hour.

The flight was tonight.

Ai Qing packed her folder.  As she stood up from the chair, a thought crossed her mind.  She looked at Solo who had been writing the training report the entire time,  “What if we lose?”

Solo moved his eyes away from the computer screen.  He was silent for a short while, then smiled slightly.  “You won’t lose.”

He was the absolute king at Starcraft.

And since they had come back from Korea, Ai Qing had unexpectedly begun to pay greater interest in StarCraft 2.  She used almost all of her personal time to discuss the tactics with him.  Perhaps he was leading her at the beginning, but since he had retired, it was Ai Qing herself who kept exploring.  The speed of her progress far exceeded his imagination.

Though she had already retired, both her skills and mental acuity were still the same as when she was at her prime.

Therefore, he trusted her.
