In the car, Yu Sui was holding Puppys phone.
On Puppys phone, Shi Luo was still saved as Luo.
Shi Luos first registered ID with the league.
Shi Luo didnt send a reply. Yu Sui returned the phone to Puppy, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
Yu Sui... Puppy looked at his mobile phone and hesitated. Shi Luo himself knows that when its announced later that hes coming to our team, the forums are going to explode. You ...
With his eyes still closed, Yu Sui smiled, What do I do so the forums dont explode?
Puppy was helpless. He continued, Is this necessary? This game is overflowing with strikers. There are lots of good players out there, even if theyre not as good as he is.
If we find one whos willing to cooperate with Chen Huo, thats also a suitable choice for us. When Shi Luo comes over later on, hes sure to get into a lot of fights with Chen Huo. But even putting that aside, theres still going to be a lot of trouble for sure.
Im even starting to suspect some of Shi Luos fans might come to our base and poison us. Are you sure you want to invite this trouble...
Puppy had come back late and didnt know about the gamble that occurred at the club that night. Yu Sui also didnt want to mention it again. He only said, Theres no trouble. And its not like Im baselessly looking to pick a quarrel.
If he didnt want to come back, I wouldnt be bothering him again.
Puppy shrugged, I dont understand you two ... whats so bad about being fated rivals? Tigers on different mountains? You two had such a terrible falling out but you still havent learned your lesson.
Im not trying to rake up old scores here. Back then, you really shouldnt have let Shi Luo join the team. He was such a good kid. Wouldnt it have been better for him to go to another team than just be your substitute?
In the first place, didnt I urge you to give him to Lao Gu? Gu Gan said it himself. If he went to their team he would have been part of their starting lineup. But you wouldnt listen......
Yu Sui didnt speak.
Puppy harped on and then sighed. He put on his headphones and continued listening to the comedy skit.
Back when Shi Luo had just moved into the FS base, Yu Sui really did consider sending him to NSN.
At the time, aside from their boss, Ji Yanhan, everyone in the team felt that Shi Luo should be sent away.
There really was no reason for Shi Luo to remain at FS back then.
But it was Yu Sui who arranged for him to come and the final decision on what to do with him fell to Yu Sui.
Yu Sui hesitated for a long time. During those few days, he definitely smoked way too much.
Are you trying to smoke out mosquitoes?
Seventeen-year-old Shi Luo shoved open the door to Yu Suis dorm room in the base. He frowned. Arent you afraid of choking on all this smoke?
Yu Sui looked anxiously at this teenager that hed picked up. He blow out some smoke.
Shi Luo opened the window for Yu Sui, puzzled. Youre not that old. Howd your addiction get so bad?
Yu Sui flicked off the ash from his cigarette. Im soon going to be a four-year veteran. Is that still not that old?
Youre just a bit older than me ... When Shi Luo sat, he didnt sit down properly. He squatted on the sofa opposite Yu Sui and looked around. Do you still play with Gundams?
Shi Luo took one of the model figures and fiddled with it. He muttered to himself, F*ck, isnt this that deadly expensive one...
Yu Sui said, Yeah, the one that if you break, you wont be able to afford.
Shi Luo hastily put it back in place, and he went back to staying on the sofa.
Yu Sui was too lazy to care about his image in front of Shi Luo. After sitting for a long time, his whole body hurt. He bent his left leg and stepped on the sofa, his left hand resting on top of his knee. With a serious expression on his face, he continued to blow out smoke.
The two teenagers stayed faced against each other like this.
Shi Luo put on an apathetic expression and said, Can you stop smoking?
Yu Sui put out the cigarette. Sorry, maam.
Shi Luo turned gloomy. He suddenly asked, Are you worrying about what to do with me?
Yu Sui never had any intention of discussing this with Shi Luo. Without batting an eyelid, he said, It has nothing to do with you.
Shi Luo was sure now. Then, it is about me.
Shi Luo tried to lighten his expression. So...what are you thinking?
Yu Sui hesitated and didnt speak.
Shi Luo said, Ke Hao really is too mean...
Yu Sui laughed. What does this have to do with him?
He threw me to you to become your problem. How is that not mean? Shi Luo narrowed his eyes. Did you owe him a debt of gratitude?
I did, Yu Sui said simply, but its not entirely because I owe him. Hes my friend.
Shi Luo nodded and asked, So why havent you contacted your good friend recently?
Yu Sui pursed his lips. He wanted to take out a cigarette. Not giving him a chance to move, Shi Luo snatched away the cigarette case first. Theres no need to hide it, is there?
Yu Suis head hurt even more. Then you should just be my substitute.
Shi Luo curled up on the sofa and gave a muffled laugh.
Yu Sui clearly knew that Shi Luo had forced his hand. But what could he do?
However, at that time, Yu Sui was still young and didnt have a great amount of tolerance. Being pitted by Shi Luo once, he would inevitably think up of a way to get even.
That was Shi Luos first official match. Yu Sui couldnt rest assured. Unfortunately, the previous day, Shi Luo and Chen Huo had argued over a stick of barbeque and they had a fierce row at the base. Chen Huo swore he would definitely not provide cover for Shi Luo at tomorrows match.
Shi Luo then swore he wouldnt protect Chen Huo with the photon shield. As a result of their quarrel, Yu Sui had Chen Huo take a break and he himself replaced Chen Huo as striker. In any case, FS spot at the top of the regular season was unassailable. If they lose one game then they lose one game.
Chen Huos mouth dropped open in surprise, But you dont play any other jobs, right?
Yu Sui did find it annoying to play the other jobs, but he still knew how to play them and they still won that regular season match.
It was Shi Luos first game. After the game, Shi Luos face was flushed. Although he tried his best to hide it, the excitement in his eyes just couldnt be hidden. Yu Sui smiled and looked at Shi Luo.
When there werent a lot of people about backstage, he whispered to Shi Luo, Dont tell the others. You and me, lets celebrate.
Shi Luo nodded quickly.
The two avoided the others and quietly went to the underground garage of the stadium and got in the car.
The place is a bit far away. Yu Sui was driving. Its at least eight hours away. You should sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, well be there.
Shi Luo was surprised. Where were they going?
Young people always like surprises. So there were some things that Yu Sui wouldnt say, and Shi Luo wouldnt ask.
An unknown journey is the one most worth looking forward to.
Shi Luo spent a glorious eight hours in joy and anticipation.
The two sped through the expressway, passing by the rest areas, through the mountains, over water, and they finally entered a noisy city in the early morning. They passed through somewhat crowded streets, through more crowded streets and through very congested streets, etc.
When they were stopped by traffic on the road, Shi Luo finally realized that something was wrong.
Shi Luo was puzzled. Why are there so many cars here? But theres no one here. Whats going on?
Yu Sui parked his car. Were just in time. Come on.
Outside the car, Ji Yanhan, holding a transparent case, waved his hand. Over here.
Yu Sui took Shi Luo to meet him. Yu Shi said to Shi Luo, Mobile phone.
Shi Luo blankly took out his mobile phone and gave it to Yu Sui.
Yu Sui checked Shi Luos pockets and nodded. He then took the transparent case from Ji Yanhan and shoved it to Shi Luo. He then suddenly remembered something and took out a thirteen yuan-worth childrens wristwatch from his pants pocket and put it on Shi Luo.
He fervently urged, Pay attention to the time. Everything youll need is in this document bag.
Shi Luo looked at the contents of the document bag in his hand, and then looked to the left and right. He finally noticed that something was fishy.
Before Shi Luo could flee, Yu Sui kicked him into his registered college entrance examination site.
Shi Luo said vexed, Im not taking the exam!!!
Ji Yanhan tried to console him. Aiya, Yu Sui also took his exam, you know. After taking the exam, he just informed the university that hell be deferring schooling to pursue an e-sports career. That doesnt matter though, go quickly.
Do you know how many people I had to trouble to find your test site and these materials?!
Shi Luo came pretty late. There was no longer anyone outside the testing site. The uncle guard at the gate impatiently dragged Shi Luo into the school grounds and locked the gates. Were gonna close up the exam site, dont you know?
Not going to take the exam? Then what would you do in the future?
Shi Luo said angrily, I can play in matches! Im already in the top 50 on the Chinese server! I just took the FOG regular match MVP title!!!
Uncle guard:......
Even whatever-Ps need to take the exam! The uncle guard looked at Shi Luo up and down like he was a lunatic. Young man, if you wont take the exam and you wont go to school, how will you earn a living in the future?
Shi Luo choked. My basic salary is 200,000 a month !!!
The uncle looked at the other side of the iron railing in surprise. Yu Sui pointed to his head, and said helplessly, Please be considerate.
The uncle nodded, I understand.
Shi Luo had difficulty persuading the guard, and he didnt dare make a commotion that could affect the other candidates. Eventually, under Yu Suis kindly and amiable look he was handed into the exam site.
My salary is more than 200,000 a month ... Shi Luo sat in his examination room, gritted his teeth and took out the 2B pencil and black pen from the transparent document bag. Mortified, he whispered, I just took the regular match MVP title ...
The proctor gave Shi Luo a cold look. Please, no talking, candidate.
Shi Luo trembled in anger. Im...Im sorry.
