In his heart, Shi Luo scolded himself for being a good-for-nothing. He was too embarrassed to do anything and so he was dealt with instead by by Yu Sui. Because of the eye drops, his eyes were still wet and uncomfortable.
Shi Luo turned and went to the Chen Huo table to grab some paper towels, which he used to wipe the corner of his eyes.
When Old Qiao pushed the door open, this was the scene he was met with.
Old Qiao glanced at Shi Luo. After feeling embarrassed for a second, he tentatively asked, Were you crying?
Shi Luo: ...
You... werent that vulnerable before. Old Qiao couldnt understand, Why do you cry so much now? Before, you cried when you hit the top 100 on the national server and now, youre crying because we lost today. You...
What about when we get to the World Championships? What are we supposed to do with you if you end up crying all day?
When Shi Luo was about to explain, Old Qiao said consolingly, Its okay, its okay. Its because youre young. Sigh, I shouldnt have said anything...
Based on the normal admission age, at your age, you should be at home, eating and drinking your fill, being waited upon by everyone as you entered third year... But entering this business, its like taking the college entrance examination time and again.
Whats more, its the kind where the results are broadcasted live.
If you dont test well, no one will be there to coax you but there wont be any shortage of people whod want to rain down abuse. Old Qiao has been very forgiving towards Shi Luo because of his young age ever since two years ago and it was still the same now.
As he spoke, his voice became a lot gentler, But what use is there to look for Yu Sui when you cry? How could he possibly comfort you? Youre better off looking for me. Im a lot better at comforting people than he is.
Yu Sui, who was in the middle of sending accounts to the training partners, didnt raise his head when he heard the words and said, Thanks, but no thanks. Im very good at comforting people. Just now, little Shi Luo cried to his hearts content in my arms.
Cried my-... Shi Luo swallowed back the word ass. He wasnt in any mood to explain. He took two more tissues and wiped his face. I understand, I wont cry anymore.
If you really must cry, make sure you do it behind everyone. Old Qiao walked to his seat and replaced Yu Sui, And you must make especially be sure not to do it in front of the cameras... Do you know why the sprayers insulted you so fiercely today? In the second game...
and at the end of that game, your expression turned ugly. They noticed that you had a mentality problem, so they deliberately targeted that point even more. These dumb*ss sprays... they make sure to step on where it hurts.
If they know its easy to mess with your mentality, in the future, theyll try to mess with you even more. Even during interviews, dont say anything. Dont ever expose your real weakness.
Shi Luo said perfunctorily, Understood.
Shi Luo glanced at Yu Sui and felt inwardly relieved. For now, the sprayers still havent found his real weakness.
After setting up the custom game mode, the three of them simply talked about todays game.
After half an hour Chen Huo and Puppy came over, and the four players returned to their respective positions and started to simulate the situation of todays game, letting the sparring practice imitate Saint to fight against themselves. .
Having just lost the match, playing this kind of game-replay training was the most nauseating. Old Qiao had been worried that Shi Luo would be upset about this. He didnt expect that Shi Luo would be the most serious about this than anyone.
In the middle, he even asked Old Qiao to give the opposing striker a little more economy to increase the difficulty of his training.
No matter how good the sparring team was, there was still a big gap compared to the active pro-players.
For simulation practice games, if the team members felt that the opposing team had insufficient counter-training ability and werent putting enough pressure on themselves, they could ask the coach to give the opposing team some help.
In any case, this was their our own custom server, they were free to change any of the game settings.
Is Shi Shen feeling anxious from being scolded today? Puppy smiled, Why are you suddenly so motivated? Dont worry... After a few days, the sprayers wont be scolding us anymore. You just have to bear with it until next Tuesday.
Chen Huo was at a loss. While playing, he asked, Why? Why would the sprayers forget about us by next Tuesday?
Yu Sui was taking cover behind a tree and quietly took away the head of their training partner sniper. He said, Next Tuesday is the regular season game between Saint and NSN. After the game, theyll be spraying whoever loses that match. They wont care about us anymore.
Old Qiao was speechless, You...
Oh, this is the product of our experience being sprayed. Whats the matter with you? Puppy sighed, This is a conclusion Ive made from blood and tears&#k2026;
Old Qiao slapped Puppy on the back, Concentrate!
After they increased the sparring teams economy and gave them upgraded equipment as their initial equipment, the players began training their counter-attacks for Saint. They polished their &#k2018;desperate straits tactic they used during the game and Yu Sui developed a new tactic as well.
As a result, they had to train and polish that tactic too. They kept practicing until they reached five oclock in the morning. In the end, it was the sparring teams medic who couldnt bear it and called for a stop.
Naturally, when there is harmony in the live chat, there will always also be disharmony. After losing the game a few days ago, the entire Free club went invisible. The sprayers had nowhere to send out their abuse. Now, among the entire team Shi Luo was the first to resume live broadcast.
The sprayers finally found some place to vent. They turned up uninvited, filling up the live chat.
[After avoiding the limelight for a few days, youre finally doing live broadcasts again?
[Can you not mentally collapse the next time you lose a game? Can you not mentally collapse the next time you lose a game? Can you not mentally collapse the next time you lose a game?
[Awesome, so now you cant even manage without Yu Shen. When you lost the game, you even had to ask Yu Shen to comfort you. Now, youre forcing Yu Shen to accompany you to play on the national server. Looks like we know whos the weakest link in this team.

[Young Master Shis so NB, Young Master Shi is so powerful. When can Young Master Shi stop being so butt-hurt all the time?
[He has a weak mentality, an ugly expression during competitions, a bad temper, and now hes taking up his teammates time...]
[Can you stop wasting Whispers time? Can you? Hes a champion medic. What are you?
Actually, Shi Luo didnt have that many black fans. But all the haters of the entire team were now gathered on Shi Luos side; add to that a few of Yu Suis duwei fans. For a moment, things seems to be in utter turmoil.
The administrator of Shi Luos live broadcast room was trying hard to mute these sprayers. Shi Luos fans were also spraying back. But black fans kept sprouting up.
Even the administrator of his live broadcast room sent private messages to Shi Luo to try to persuade him to just proceed with playing a match and not to call Yu Sui anymore so as to avoid giving more topics for the sprayers.
Shi Luo put his phone aside and looked at the live chat, his expression unchanged.
He didnt spray back, nor did he go play a match by himself.
About ten minutes later, Yu Sui came upstairs.
Captain. Shi Luo turned his head to look at Yu Sui. Expressionlessly, he said, I bought you as a training partner last time...can I cash in on that now?
Yu Sui was startled. He closed the door of the training room, walked behind Shi Luo and looked at the live chat of his live broadcast. He instantly understood.
Yu Sui smiled, Of course.
That tiny bit of anger in Shi Luos heart dissipated in an instant. He didnt allow himself to be swept away by the sprayers rhythm. If the sprayers didnt want him playing double row with Yu Sui then he was definitely going to do a live broadcast of his double row with Yu Sui.
Lets see just who was going to f*ck up whom.
When Shi Luo sat down and was about to pull out his keyboard, Yu Sui said, Wait.
Shi Luo was startled. Yu Sui said, Turn on you webcam.
Shi Luo turned on the camera without even asking for the reason.
Anyone whos working as a play partner should know his place as a play partner... Yu Sui made sure that he appeared through the webcam. He raised his cuffs and rubbed his wrists. He looked at Shi Luos gaming table, and whistled, Come, let me serve you.
Yu Sui bent slightly to set up the keyboard for Shi Luo. He then picked up the headset with one hand, What are you dodging for...
Shi Luo didnt expect that Yu Sui would help him with even this. He froze for a bit and Yu Sui put on the headphones for him.
He didnt know whether Yu Sui did it intentionally or not, after putting on the headphones for Shi Luo, he even lightly fixed his disheveled hair for him. Another round of screams appeared on the live chat.
Your mouse... Yu Sui took Shi Luos mouse and put it in place. He then pulled Shi Luos hand and set it on top of the mouse. He said seriously, Would you like me to adjust the dpi?
The live chat was going crazy. Shi Luo held back a smile, shook his head and said nothing.
While doing all this, Yu Sui brushed against Shi Luos arm. Yu Sui whispered, Cold? Your arms are cold...
Yu Sui took off his own team uniform jacket that he had draped around him and put it on Shi Luos shoulders. Tell me if you still feel cold and Ill get you some thicker clothes.
After carefully taking care of Shi Luo, Yu Sui went to his own seat.
Shi Luo glanced at the live chat again, [Who can lend me a million so that I can experience Whispers service for myself?] This comment was copied and set one after another in an endless stream, completely drowning out the sprayers comments until they could no longer be found.
Translators note: Did you all see the new cover? Its so pretty! Its the manhua promo pic. FOGs getting a manhua starting November.
So, technically, its not the novel cover but I was so sick of the blue novel cover with the weird rabbit that I just couldnt not. The mods were nice enough to let me change it into the manhua promo cover. =)
