At the same time, in the IAC base, Shi Luo received a friend application.
Shi Luo opened it. It was NSNs former deputy manager.
When Shi Luo first went to NSN, he and Zhou Huo were in the same club for only two short months. Later, Shi Luo transferred, and Zhou Huo went to another team not long after.
Zhou Huo explained his current situation to Shi Luo. Shi Luo then found out that he was to be his future team manager.
After exchanging a couple of polite words, Zhou Huo brought up the matter of the live broadcast to Shi Luo. After half a minutes hesitation, Shi Luo replied to Zhou Huo.
Yu Sui was contacting the FOG China Division headquarters to retrieve the game account that had been cancelled back then. He opened the voice call with the headquarters employee and typed back a reply to Zhou Huo.
[Yu Sui]: [I refuse.]
[Shi Luo]: [No. ]
Zhou Huo: ...
Zhou Huo could understand how Shi Luo as the perceived victim could still be nursing a grudge, but what he couldnt understand was that not only did Yu Sui refuse, his reply came even faster than Shi Luos! Zhou Huo quickly replied back to Yu Sui.
[Zhou Huo]: [I dont know just what it is that happened between you two, but the situation now is like this, your fans are absolutely hostile to each other and you two will soon be in a team. If were always going to be in this kind of deadlock, I wont be able to progress my work.]
[Zhou Huo]: [The new team has just been established. As a manager, theres a lot of work I need to do and a lot of that will require the fans cooperation. ]
Yu Sui replied quite happily: [If the fans wont accept it and wont cooperate, then let them. ]
[Zhou Huo]: [...]
Zhou Huo had a lot of confidence in this team that he was about to take over. Even if they wont be able to produce the best results, they will certainly be a mainstay in the first league. With all four players at this level, there was absolutely no need to doubt it.
But if he were to appraise the teams style, Zhou Huo was quite sure that such a team of filled with such wicked people wouldnt get anywhere good.
[Zhou Huo]: [Whisper, theres something Ive been wanting to tell you since years before. Aside from a championship trophy, theres something else you can give to your fans. ]
[Yu Sui]: [Im not giving them anything else.]
[Zhou Huo]: [I ask with only the best of intentions. But, Yu Shen, did you know that as early as two years ago, no, maybe even earlier than that, youve already earned yourself the nickname of scumbag? ]
It was only after he had completed the application and saved his account that Yu Sui took a look at his phone. Zhou Huo had already sent over several messages.
[Zhou Huo]: [Setting aside the fact that our chances of winning the championship this season isnt all that great to begin with, are you saying were going to let the fans rip us a new one all the way from the qualifiers to the playoffs? Thats a huge pressure to put on the players. ]
[Zhou Huo]: [There arent a lot of people like you who are completely immune to negative remarks. Everyone cares about what fans say about them online. Evil and Chen Huo quarrel all the time with the sprayers. Obviously, they get affected easily.]
[Zhou Huo]: [My job isnt to simply increase the number of fans. Its also to give the players a relatively relaxed environment that comes from enjoying a relatively favorable public opinion. That way, the players can focus on the game without unnecessary pressure weighing down on them.]
[Zhou Huo]: [This is where my responsibility lies. ]
[Zhou Huo]: [Of course, its also my job to do my best to increase the teams relevance and commercial value. Boss, youre both my boss and my player. My position is definitely a bit difficult. Right now, can we agree on a few simple rules?
When it comes to the operations of the team, can you listen to my arrangements? ]
Yu Sui was about to type no, when he thought about it and said, [Use your own discretion.]
[Zhou Huo]: [... OK. ]
Yu Sui put on his headphone and was preparing to queue up for a game when his phone buzzed again.
[Zhou Huo]: [But in case a situation comes up, Im gonna be completely shameless and ask. Were you and Shi Luo together?]
Yu Sui looked at the phone and smiled.
Has he committed some grave sin that people were taking turns to stab his heart today?
Yu Sui typed. [No. ]
[Zhou Huo]: [Thats good. Im not holding out much hope but you really wont agree to the live broadcast?]
Yu Sui replied: [No. ]
Their medics familiarity with the map was unsurpassed. Not only could they always find the most suitable bunkers to hide in, they could also avoid bumping into any of the vegetation that could produce any sound. It was like they were hiding within the map.
They followed after him, not too near and not too far, always ensuring that he was within his healing range. They simply couldnt be more fitting.
Soon after, Shi Luo took the opponent strikers head. At the same time, their medic obtained auxiliary points. Both of them earned the authority to utilize the teams economy. However, their own medic never used even half a point from the public economy.
They confined themselves to using only their 1000 points of personal economy.
The public economy was limited but Shi Luo occupied all that could be occupied. He spent it very presumptuously.
With Angel Sword looking after the opposite team, the three other players seemed to have higher HPs than they did. But in the end, passer-by strikers were simply no match against Shi Luo.
At around the 24 minute mark, Shi Luos team managed to clear out the opponents fog and he directly destroyed their resurrection stone, securing the win.

Shi Luo hasnt encountered such an amazing milktank in a long time. After the game, Shi Luo didnt immediately withdraw from the map. He sent the other a friend application and typed:
[IAC-Evil]: [Medic nb, when youre free next time lets team up. ]
Unexpectedly, the other party didnt immediately accept his request.
The live broadcasts barrage was speeding past. Shi Luo only ever looks at the live chat after the game. While waiting for the other party to reply, he took a look at the barrage and was dumbfounded.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...]
[666, the drama of the year.
[Can we submit the record of this game to be included in the e-sports headlines?]
[After two long years, we finally have new material.]
[Drama of the year! Drama of the year! Drama of the year!]
[Can Evil see the barrage or not! Weve been howling here for half an hour! You even sent out a greeting to the other party! Are you stupid?
Thats Whisper!!!
[Are you sure? Whisper didnt open a live broadcast. I looked at all the live broadcasts from NSN and I didnt find a single clue. Looks like Yu Shen isnt at NSN headquarters.
[Whisper has already moved bases.]
[This is definitely Whispers account. Whisper used this side account during one of Wawas live broadcasts. This is Whisper for sure.
[I watched Wawa live broadcast, I was pretty sure that account is Yu Shen, but now Im not sure. Can Yu Shen actually play as a milktank?
[It could be his account but its not necessarily him playing, right?]
[I have the same doubt. Yu Sui can also play nanny? He hasnt touched his signature long dagger throughout the game. I never knew he could resist the instinct to kill his opponents.
Is this really Yu Shen?
[Thats him for sure. With this kind of map awareness, could it be anyone else?]
[I can understand where youre all coming from but Whisper can actually play milktank?]
[Who else could it be besides him? Who else could use his account? It cant be Wawa. Wawas milktank play isnt that detailed.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ive been dead for two years. Why wont you two still not let me off?]
[Tears spilling into the Huangpu River. Its been two years and these two put their hands together to stab my heart!
Shi Luo looked at the barrage and details of the past game flashed through his mind.
Thinking back on it now, it really was him.

Translators note: Some of you might be wondering about my use of word milktank for the healer instead of the more literal nursemaid/milk-mom/nanny and the simple explanation is...I thought milktank sounded better than nursemaid. Thats pretty much it. orz
Just keep it in mind that they all mean healer especially the traditional type of healer that does mainly healing.
