107. Team Introduction
Shang Huo: "About two years. I've always been a loner and unpopular, until I played Spirit Immortal and met you in the game …"
He Jin was shocked. Just like that night when he couldn't sleep to read Shang Huo's confession, he looked forward to the next message.
Shang Huo: "You're the first friend I made in the game."
Actually, Qin Yang couldn't describe what it was like. Little Immortal Ah Jin was like a ray of light, appearing in the darkest and most depressed days of his childhood.
Perhaps it was easier for Qin Yang to open up on the internet than in real life. Through the game, they got to know each other better. Ah Jin's brilliance and wisdom influenced him, and Ah Jin's tolerance and gentleness warmed him …
Shang Huo said, "Once, when we were talking about studying, you told me that studying is the only way to change my fate. Only by doing so can I live the life I want in the future and become an independent man … Do you still remember?" Others would say the same thing, but when it came from Ah Jin's mouth, it struck Qin Yang's heart.
He Jin had long forgotten that he had said that. It felt so childish … Actually, he now understood that getting into a university didn't mean you could live the life you wanted. Growing up was filled with pain and suffering, and there were too many ties and helplessness in reality.
Shang Huo: "After that, I started to change. I wanted to become an outstanding person like you, for myself, not for anyone else."
Unfortunately, He Jin left without saying goodbye after playing with him for a few months.
He didn't dare to relax, waiting for the day when He Jin could see his hard work, waiting for them to be able to stand side by side, truly qualified to be friends, and even … husband and wife.
Shang Huo: "My grades in the second year were good, and I found out that your studies weren't that difficult. It's just that I never put in the effort before. When I got first place in the third year, girls started to chase after me, and they even said I was cool: p."
Ah Jin: "You can't say that it's because of me, you're smart. There are also many people who might not be able to do well even if they tried."
Shang Huo: "No matter what you say, I think you're right."
Ah Jin: "…"
Shang Huo: "You didn't expect me to chase after you to get into Huaxia University, did you?"
Was it because of her that Qin Yang applied to Huahai University? The heavy feeling made He Jin unable to breathe, but his heart was beating fiercely. He Jin had never experienced the feeling of liking and being liked like this before.
Ah Jin: "You've already become very outstanding. Why do you still want to wait for an online relationship to end?"
Shang Huo replied, "I'm used to it. I didn't intentionally wait for you. It's just that I haven't thought of giving up on you yet."
Moreover, after the third year of middle school, there were more and more people pursuing him. Having one or two suitors would more or less make a man feel vain, but if there were too many, it really wasn't something worth showing off. Qin Yang only felt vexed. Sometimes, he couldn't even tell what these people liked about him. They were blindly like a swarm of bees, not even giving people time to observe them. Since that was the case, he might as well not see them, ignore them, or respond to them. He was extremely aloof.
A boy who wanted to become more outstanding didn't need to be in a relationship to make his presence known, nor did he have the time to waste away his time. Thus, after eight years, his heart, which had been remembered and strengthened countless times over the years, became more and more precious and unique.
Looking at Qin Yang's words, He Jin couldn't speak for a long time. He couldn't bear the honor of "changing the trajectory of someone else's life."
Qin Yang sensed He Jin's retreat, but he didn't dare to force him.
Shang Huo: "Have you forgiven me?"
Ah Jin: "…"
Ah Jin: "[Photo]"
Qin Yang suddenly regretted showing this photo to He Jin … He reached out and pinched the beaver plushie next to his pillow. He chuckled and murmured, "Idiot."
A few days later, the students on vacation began to return to school.
He Jin took out his private stash of money that he had locked in his dorm cupboard. Together with the money he had earned from working at the cafe, he had a total of 2,900 yuan. It wasn't even enough to pay Qin Yang for repairing his helmet …
He reopened his bank account and electronic account and deposited the money. He only kept a small amount for himself and went online to check his results. Because he had been playing games last semester, he hadn't invested as much in his studies as he had in the previous two years. However, because of his good study habits and deep foundation, he had still gotten first place in his grade. However, the scholarship would only be issued within two months of the beginning of the semester.
He Jin did some calculations. If he didn't consider the 3,000 yuan he had to pay back and used it frugally, he could barely get through this semester's living expenses. It was far from enough … It looked like he had to continue looking for a job.
At the end of February, the Game Fiend team competition kicked off. Starting from February 25th, it would be held from 7 to 10 p.m. every night for ten days. The finals would be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, January 6th, and it wouldn't clash with his usual classes.
He Jin quit his full-time job at the cafe and planned to look for a part-time job after accompanying Qin Yang in the competition.
As of a week ago, the Game Fiend official registration platform had received a total of 18 qualified teams. The first match on the night of February 25th had already been arranged. The 18 teams would be matched up against each other, and the nine victorious teams would advance to the next round.
The first opponent of the "Friendship Squad" was the "Dragon Squad". The name of the opponent sounded very cool, but the officials only listed the names of the members of the various squads. The Dragon Squad's name list was filled with a bunch of unfamiliar names, causing everyone to be confused. Where did this random squad come from?
However, some people didn't know anything, while others had already posted detailed information about each major team on the official forums.
The night before the competition, He Jin was pulled into a temporary chat group by Qin Yang. Inside were all the members of this competition. Everyone was looking at a popular introduction post on the forum.
The number one expert in the entire server, Team Affection, was naturally the center of attention. They were the first to be introduced. It looked like the person who wrote the post was also a fan of Heartless Mortis. When he introduced this captain, he wrote a lot of praises.
Most of the members of the team were experts in the top five of the leaderboards in the old server. Just the "water and fire" couple alone had attracted the attention of the female audience. The post owner said that they had high hopes for them to win.
However, when introducing the other members, the post owner didn't say much, especially the sentence that introduced Ah Jin, which made people feel especially unhappy. "As a person who has caused a sensation recently, Heartless' wife Little Fairy Ah Jin (now renamed Ah Jin), it is said that this player's profession has never been made public, and no one has ever seen her strength. However, every time they see her, she is always by Heartless' side. I guess that this person is just a lifestyle player. She is using Heartless' fame to join the team. There is nothing to be afraid of. Just the top five experts of the old server in the 'Team Affection' and the rising star Zhao Mingyue are enough to win the championship."
There was even a group of onlookers who agreed with the post owner. Most of them were like the post owner, commenting that Ah Jin was just someone who hugged someone's thigh. They were envious, jealous, and despised him.
His Highness Nine cried out for He Jin. "These ignorant humans, just wait and see how powerful Ah Jin is!"
Shishui felt strange. "Eh, Heartless, didn't you post a video of you torturing Ah Jin on the Feiyou Net? Don't these people know that Ah Jin is a Spiritual Pet?"
Shang Huo: "Yeah, I deleted all the information in the video."
His Highness Nine: "Yeah, who would believe that Heartless would torture his own wife like that, haha!"
Xian Yun: "Probably only Haagen-Dazs and the others have seen Ah Jin's profession. Moreover, Luo Hua Yiyi has also joined them, so she would more or less leak some information."
Shishui sighed. "As expected of a secret weapon!"
After a while, Liluo shouted angrily, "Damn, this post owner actually called me a smurf!"
Everyone looked at it, and saw that the line introducing Liluo was even more unsightly than the one introducing Ah Jin — —
Liluo: Profession strength unknown, guessed to be some expert's smurf.
The so-called "smurf" was a player who was hired as a puppet. Some experienced players had already analyzed it, and the prize money was only 500,000. If all the members of a team participated in the competition, the prize money would be divided equally among the 10 members.
Because this was the first official team competition, while everyone was still unsure of the rules, some teams only needed one or two Gods to have a high chance of winning. In order to let the individual players get more money, many teams hired "alternate accounts" to make up the numbers. Even if they won the competition, these "alternate accounts" wouldn't get much money. They could only get some tips for their hard work.
Therefore, when Liluo saw this line, she exploded in anger. Together with Ah Jin, the battle soul in her heart started to burn …
The second team to be introduced was naturally the "Haagen-Dazs Team" that originally dominated the second zone. They directly used a part of Haagen-Dazs's name as their team name. As the only two teams that had the ability to compete with the "Affection Team" for the championship, the post owner also spent a lot of words to introduce them, especially Luo Hua Yiyi's betrayal. Her betrayal of her teacher and joining the enemy after the hologram made the conflict between the two teams escalate, becoming the biggest highlight of this competition.
As they were reading, Ninth Majesty suddenly asked, "Hey hey, isn't it the Haagen-Dazs Team? Why are the comments calling them the Lu Binghua Team?"
Shishui: "Lu Binghua?"
He Jin also took a look. As expected, the comments below all referred to them as the Lu Binghua Team. Could it be the names of his three teammates?
Ninth Majesty: "Oh, I got it …"
Liluo: "What?"
Ninth Majesty: "There's an explanation for the 187th floor, take a look yourself, but it doesn't seem suitable for children …"
Not suitable for children? This would make everyone even more curious …
Everyone quietly found the 187th floor.
