Chapter 477: We Only Need One More Win!


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


Luocheng looked toward the VIP room. He knew that Xu Pingyang was inside, he could even feel the sounds of him cursing even from where he stood!


It was no surprise. Team Daemons had taken the champion seat for every single LPL championship up till now, and this year, Team Sky had finally won Team Daemons two to zero with much effort. Yet, in the end, Team Skycrown had taken the win instead.


He got what he deserved.


Luocheng believed that one day, karma would be there to take down people like Xu Pingyang.


The host was trying to calm the crowd. The big screen showed the audience’s reactions. The first to be shown were the LPL competitors, and they seemed more casual as they were not wearing their team shirts.


It was clear that the match earlier had exceeded their expectations, and most of them were still discussing what had happened just now.


This was also because it was a tactic that they had never seen before in any competitions whatsoever. They were trying to wrap their heads around the idea that if Team Skycrown used this tactic against them, would they still be able to hold the fort?


They were skeptical. How much had Team Skycrown strategized to plan this tactic out!?


After watching their match, it was not just a simple match of knowing your opponents, it was extremely fun to watch!


***


The break time was not long and soon, both teams returned and stood in front of the audience.


“For you guys!” Meiqi tensed up as she watched the five of them go up.


“You guys have to win! The future of living a luxurious life lies in the performance that the five of you will be showing in the next forty minutes!” Jian Feng, who just came, also gave them encouragement.


“We will!”


The five of them nodded in agreement.


Even if they did not fear losing, they would not let the chance slip by!


They walked toward their side of the arena. With the win just now and the vibe they were giving out, the members of Team Skycrown were keeping their cool and showing off their confidence!


They were a team without sponsors or clubs backing them. They didn’t even have 10,000 yuan as a monthly salary. But still, they survived. Without a club backing them up, they did not have anyone to coach them on what they were doing wrong, they also did not have any contracts saying that they had to compete in any amount of championships. Even so, they would not back down when facing an enemy that had more than enough backup. They had walked among normal people as well as met an immeasurable number of teams and even competed against them. They had prepared long enough.


Soon, they would become superstars in China’s LOL community. Also, they would represent the country in the S International League, they just needed to win this match!

After walking onstage, Da Luo followed closely behind Luocheng.


He was somewhat excited because he had waited a long time for this day to come.


Prior to all this, he worked in a furniture company. Everyday, he worked hard, running from this side of the city to the other side just for work. When he could finally rest, he would find himself dirty and tired. The main point was, at that point of time, he had had no ambition whatsoever. It felt as though he was just a machine working non-stop.


But what about now?


A few million people in the country would be looking at him. There were more than 4,000 people before him watching his every move, and this sort of excitement made him feel alive!


Da Luo puffed up his chest when suddenly, someone appeared on his mind!


This person had already disappeared from his life for more than a year and a half. This was when Team Wings had been disbanded. That incident had really broken his heart!


Da Luo shook his head. How could he think about her now…?


Hmm? That’s not right!


This face…


How could it be so nostalgic, it was completely the same as the one in his mind!


Da Luo stopped for a second and stared at the screen!


On the big screen, the cameramen had panned over to where the pretty girls were!


It was at that moment when Da Luo saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face on the big screen!


Shui Mo!


How could it be her!?


Da Luo thought that he was hallucinating due to his excitement, but he did not expect that she really was sitting amongst the 4,000 people. She sat there with her glasses on her face, looking directly at him who was on the stage!


“Da Luo, what is it?” Lin Dong, who was behind Da Luo, spoke up.


Upon hearing that, Da Luo jerked to his senses. He rushed to keep up with Luocheng who was already a slight distance away.


Shui Mo, it really was her.


Could she have also started to play LOL!?


This was great! Da Luo felt as though he was full of energy and was ready to battle!


Da Luo was not an idiot who still thought that there was a chance for the relationship to recover. He was just a very prideful man.


He hoped that when he took the top spot, he could give the woman who had said that he had no direction or ambition a shock!


He was no longer a furniture-mover—he was one of the most famous players in the competitive gaming world!


He had an insurmountable number of fans and there were hundreds of thousands of people copying how he played. There were also many people who respected him from the bottom of their hearts!

Lin Dong, who was behind Da Luo, was curious after looking at him becoming so excited.


It couldn’t be… Was the beauty Meiqi, who the five of them all had thought about before, going to give him a chance if he won the match!?


That would not be appropriate. The win would be theirs as a team. How could it be that only Da Luo would get a prize? If so, she had to also think about the other three of them.


For Luocheng, he could step aside as he already had a girlfriend.


Lin Dong chose his seat and looked at Luocheng who was sitting beside him.


“Are you nervous?” Lin Dong asked.


“A little.” Luocheng replied.


“Now that LOL is booming on the market and is even included in the co-curriculum in the sports day for universities, would there be a possibility of exchange students for professional gaming?” Lin Dong asked in a low voice.


When they lived near Shanghai University, even if they lived close to it, they were never able to experience a normal life on campus. Lin Dong had really wanted to be a part of it, almost craving for it…


“There will be a day. As long as we climb higher.” Luocheng said.


Luocheng would never forget. On that night when they had drunk beer, Lin Dong had stood at the gates of Shanghai University, staring at the campus with longing eyes.


Everyone had their own ambitions and mindsets. Luocheng had gone to university only because his parents had wanted him to. That feeling was like being forced into marriage in the olden days, even when there was no love between anyone.


However, Lin Dong had different experiences and Luocheng remembered that he had brought it up before.


After becoming a hacker and also coming out of rehabilitation, there were no schools that accepted him.


This mark made him unwanted in any school wherever he went, and it prevented him from having a normal life where he could complete his studies like he wanted to.


That was why studying and getting into a university had always been a dream that Lin Dong wanted but could never achieve.



Lin Dong had always thought, when would he ever get the chance to be like Luocheng’s sister who could study somewhere nice and fulfill his wish?

The players were ready and the host left, allowing the commentators to speak once more.


“In the last match, Team Skycrown used their terrific performance to show us that they are an unstoppable team. Now, in the second match, will they be able to repeat history and demolish the enemy!?”


“In this second match, Team Sky would have definitely prepared well. Team Skycrown is indeed an opponent worthy for them to prepare to their fullest!”


“I feel that all of the teams in the LPL also have this feeling. Team Skycrown’s strength is shocking. They really are an unbeatable team. The ones that have criticized them, scolded them, and laughed at them, can only keep their mouths shut after today’s match!”


The two commentators, Miracle and Qi Qiao, seemed as though they had been brainwashed by Team Skycrown, not holding back their praises for Team Skycrown.


They were, in fact, the two commentators that had watched Team Skycrown grow to what they were now.


From them winning in the online competition and also fighting Fudan University to obtain the right to be in the LPL, being the underdog in the LPL and winning Team Revelations, and then disappearing without a trace after crushing Team Sky…


Now, they were unstoppable and broke the balance the LPL originally had until now. They had gotten a draw against Team Daemons and had won the first match against Team Sky!


One more win, they just needed one more win to become the most looked-upon in the LPL. If they could just win one more match, they would tip the scales of balance!

The words from the commentator made Li Yun, who did not know anything about competitive gaming, realize that this was a match that was the most important match in his whole career, it was a battle for the spot of the champions!


Li Yun could only stare at the screen cluelessly in the last match.


Even so, from the words of the commentator and from the emotions that the audience were showing, she could tell that her son was performing excellently on the battlefield. This match might even have more cheers and applause from the audience than Yu Yu’s swimming championships.


Li Yun’s feelings were suddenly stirred up. She could only sit there, watching a competition that she could never comprehend…


“Li Yun, are you home?”


Just as the match was about to start soon, Li Yun heard someone knocking on the door. From the voice, it might be Lao Guan.


“I’m here.” Li Yun did not really want to answer because the match was starting soon. She hoped that Lao Guan was not here to ask about the issue with the money. Due to the state that their family was in right now, she really could not get the money to pay him back right now.


Li Yun opened the door and Lao Guan said with a smile, “My daughter is getting married soon. When the time comes, remember to come over to drink some grounded tea.”


Drinking grounded tea was a tradition in their city. When their kids got married or any significant events happened, it would usually take place. Seeing that Lao Guan was not here to talk about the money, Li Yun let out a sigh of relief.


“Lao Guan, you know about the situation that my family is in right now. We can not afford to pay back the 40,000 yuan right now.” Li Yun was not the kind of person who had thick skin. When she owed people money, she would feel guilty. In these recent years, she could not bring herself to buy any new electronics or furniture for their house. She also could not bring herself to buy some expensive clothes. She hoped to pay him back as soon as possible. Previously when Yu Jing was admitted into the hospital, they had borrowed 40,000 yuan from Lao Guan. Not to mention, the debt from the expensive kidney transplant operation… It was so hard to deal with that it became hard to breathe.


“Hm? Wasn’t that little Yu’s money?” Lao Guan accidentally blurted out the truth. When he finally remembered that Luocheng had told him not to tell anyone about it, it was already too late.


“Little Yu’s money?” Li Yun did not understand.


Lao Guan saw that he could not hide it any longer, and so, he told Li Yun about everything that had happened back then.


“Remember to come, I’m leaving first.”


Lao Guan hurried away and left Li Yun, who had forgotten to close the door, still standing there.
