Top Of Glory[Esports] Chapter 9
byeve
“For example, this article on page 121, can it be considered that the attributes and skills between characters are related…”
He said he would ask him if he had any questions, but He Chen muttered for a while but did not get a response from Lin An.
“…Captain? Are you listening?”
Lin An came back to his senses and saw He Chen stopped eating and was staring at him.
The emotion on He Chen’s face was always very light, making it difficult to tell what was going on in his heart, but now Lin An could see the concern in his dark eyes that he was not even aware of.
Lin An tore off a piece of grilled fish and put it on the plate for him, “Do you like this? Let’s order another one.”
“No need… I’m full.” He Chen put down his chopsticks, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, “Are you worried about something?”
Lin An laughed and tapped his arm on the table with his fingertips.
“Eat yours, little brat, why do you worry about grown-up things?”
He Chen obviously didn’t want to accept his trick and asked again: “Is it related to me?”
Lin An was really stunned this time. The brain that scored over 600 points in the college entrance examination was indeed no joke. He could catch wind and shadows and gain insight into the world.
The same is true in e-sports.
This is one of the things that Lin An likes about him.
Sensitivity is a gift.
He Chen pondered for a moment and organized his words, “I also learned about your industry’s contract signing process before I came to you, and I know that you need to conduct background checks and conduct risk assessments in advance.”
He took a small breath, thinking that he was hidden and would not be discovered by Lin An.
“This can be regarded as a selfish intention of mine.” He Chen raised his eyes.
If he had worries before, after spending so many days together, those hesitations and worries disappeared at any moment.
“What selfish motives?” Lin An opened his eyes and saw all his little actions.
“Signing me up is risky, I know it well.” He Chen lowered his eyes and looked at the grilled fish in the bowl.
Lin An carefully selected the tender white fish meat, deboned it, covered it with sauce, and then put it on his dinner plate.
“But I did nothing wrong, and I am very sure of this.” He Chen said frankly, “I have evidence to prove my innocence, but it still takes a while…”
“It’s understandable that Manager Qiao will consider more and more comprehensively. I understand it very well.” He held his clothes with his left hand and rubbed the tea cup unconsciously with his right hand, “So I found you.”
When Lin An heard this, he sneered and put down his chopsticks.
He stared at He Chen playfully, his gaze circled around him, and finally fell back to He Chen’s eyes, staring as closely as a cheetah, “You are so sure, why am I not as thoughtful as Qiao Zhi?”
He Chen shrank unnaturally under his gaze.
“I’m not sure, I just took advantage of your soft heart.”
Lin An: “…”
He looked at He Chen, who was like a little quail, and smiled angrily, “I’m soft-hearted? That’s good.”
Lin An said meaningfully: “I hope you will not change your original intention in the future, and don’t say that I bully honest people.”
He Chen choked, wondering if he really made a mistake in judgment, “Whatever, I’ve never been good at reading people anyway.”
The honest dormitory is going to be closed.
Lin An opened the car window and let the night wind blow on his face.
The night in S city is noisy and restless, the drumbeat of the street band is hidden in the sound of the engine. In the corner where no one cares, the moon climbs over the clouds, gazing gently at the ground amidst the feasting and feasting.
He Chen wanted to get off the bus outside the school gate, but Lin An ignored him.
He handed out a pack of cigarettes to the security guard in a familiar manner, took out his student card from Hechen’s coat pocket, swiped it, and drove to the downstairs of Hechen’s dormitory smoothly.
“It only takes two minutes. It will take at least fifteen minutes if you walk in by yourself.” Lin An held the steering wheel and didn’t take it seriously.
He Chen silently swallowed the unspoken words and prepared to get out of the car.
“Go to bed early. Do you have any plans for tomorrow and Saturday? If not, send me a message after you get up and I will pick you up.” Lin An asked matter-of-factly.
“No, no, but…” He Chen said euphemistically: “Wouldn’t it be bad for me as an outsider to go to your base all the time? It’s the same thing if I find an Internet cafe to rank.”
Lin An glanced over, neither salty nor bland.
He Chen immediately avoided looking and tugged on his mask.
Unexpectedly, Lin An suddenly stepped in the next second.
He Chen stiffened for a moment as the warm body with the scent of pine wood pressed against him.
When He Chen raised his eyes, he could see Lin An’s lowered eyes and straight nose.
The street light downstairs in the dormitory had poor contact, and it was bright and dim at times. Lin An’s eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, twinkling with ripples of light.
Hechen suddenly skipped a beat of his heart in the scent of Lin An’s pine scent.
He closed his eyes unbearably and tightened his seat belt involuntarily.
The next second, a soft “click” sound came from my ear.
Lin An’s voice was filled with laughter: “Get out of the car.”
Oh, I forgot to take off my seat belt.
He Chen couldn’t remember what he was thinking just now, and a blush quickly appeared on his ears.
“Slow down.” Lin An saw him getting out of the car in a hurry and reached out to give him a hand.
“Also,” He Chen turned around and was about to go upstairs when he heard Lin An add: “It’s up to you to decide whether he is a non-staff person or not.”
Hechen stopped.
Lin An saw him looking back under the moonlight, carrying a gray satchel across his back, and his tall and beautiful appearance could not be concealed by the faded clothes.
His bony fingers scratched the steering wheel, and the fingertips seemed to still have the same touch as when their skin touched each other just now.
“I suggest that you don’t regard the elite competition as a challenge, but as your opportunity, a stepping stone, a stepping stone.” Lin An paused for a moment: “What kind of outsider are you? I’m waiting for you in FP.”
Until He Chen returned to the dormitory with his bag on his back, Lin An’s last words were still lingering in his heart.
The roommates were not busy with their own affairs in their respective places. Instead, they crowded on the balcony and had a heated discussion.
He Chen’s heart sank, thinking of Lin An, and he quickly went over to take a look.
“This sports car is so handsome!”
“Which rich second generation in our dormitory comes to experience life?”
“Hurry up and take a photo with your phone -”
“Hey? He Chen, you’re back!” Fang Ran turned around and bumped into someone, naturally thinking that He Chen was back part-time, “Come and look outside, a real man should drive a sports car.”
He Chen curled his lips in response, turned around and immediately took out his cell phone to send a message to Lin An.
He Chen: Go back quickly.Someone is taking your picture upstairs.
Although Lin An was sitting in the car, his cars were probably not a secret. If someone really found out something, and a popular e-sports player showed up at S University late at night, it would be impossible to tell if he jumped into the Yellow River.
He Chen thought of the previous oolong incident that had been on the hot search for several days, and could imagine what kind of bloody storm this incident would cause.
By then, Qiao Zhi would probably really hate himself.
The phone rang three times in a row.
Lin An: Are you at the dormitory?
Lin An: I see you, I’m leaving.
Lin An: See you tomorrow.
He Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the news, but he couldn’t help but watch as the supercar turned its head smoothly with a “swish” and gradually drove away.
He Chen held his phone and finally sent another message.
Hechen: Pay attention to safety.
Lin An glanced at the message notification on his phone and smiled.
The kid still has a conscience.
Qiao Zhi called, and Lin An answered the call.
“Driving, long story short.”
Qiao Zhi paused and said in a calm tone: “To make a long story short, the headquarters agreed.”
“The person you sign, the subsequent risks will also be borne by you.”
Lin An could even hear the sound of Qiao Zhi grinding his teeth on the other side of the phone, and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Don’t I bear the risk? What are you so angry about?”
Qiao Zhi scolded: “I think you are out of your mind! You have no idea what you are doing! Can this be a bet? What is the difference between this and a military order! Do you just believe in him like that? Is it worth it?!”
Lin An was very calm, “I know what I’m doing.”
Qiao Zhi fell silent for a moment.
“Rather than trusting He Chen, it’s better to say that I trust my own vision.”
“…Drive your car.” Qiao Zhi cursed and hung up the phone.
What came to Lin An’s mind was He Chen’s stubborn and determined look, and he couldn’t help but laugh again.
Even though he was living a very difficult life, he still opened his heart and plunged into unfamiliar waters.
So dazzling.
——
Apart from attending classes and doing homework, Hechen spent most of his energy on training.
Fortunately, I only participated in one competition this semester and it is over.Apart from this, he has no other projects, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to do it even if he was given eight hands.
Lin An watched closely, and was even more meticulous during training.
“It doesn’t work here. The opponent’s skills have already been released. It’s absolutely too late for you to hide and then counterattack.” Lin An stood behind Hechen, using Hechen’s keyboard and mouse to demonstrate operations to him in the single-player practice copy of the FP team.
He Chen turned his face sideways, took his ears away from Lin An’s hair, and then re-activated the skill as Lin An said.
“The time is wrong, look here.” Lin An clicked on the screen with his finger, “When its delay skill takes effect, the time of your skill will change. If you encounter this situation on the field, it can indeed be solved through calculation, but now is practice, and all resistance factors need to be eliminated.”
“Come again.” Lin An said in a deep voice, his eyes always on the monitor.
“Come again.”
…
He was so callous and ruthless that Qiao Zhi couldn’t stand it anymore. “It’s a small problem with operational awareness. Isn’t it a bit too much to practice like this?”
“I’m fine.” It was He Chen who spoke. “I became a monk halfway. No matter how much I practice my operational awareness, when I can’t react in time, I need to practice mechanical memory in advance so that I can avoid low-level mistakes during the official competition.”
When he spoke, he stared at his opponent. When the opponent raised his hand to release the skill, he followed Lin An’s request and used the first skill on the opponent exactly.
It was exactly the same as Lin An’s demonstration just now.
Qiao Zhi could only shut his mouth.
Facts speak louder than words, Lin An’s special training is indeed effective.
Compared with them, Coco’s care is much more down-to-earth.
“We can’t go to the scene to cheer you on tomorrow, so we’ll give this to you first.”
He Chen subconsciously looked at Lin An, wondering whether he should answer it.
Lin An laughed and spread his hands to express his helplessness, asking him to make his own decision.
He Chen couldn’t remember the last time he received a gift from someone else.
He took the small gift box from Coco and opened it a little embarrassedly.
Inside is a pure black eyepatch.
He Chen touched it and found that it was still made of silk.
“You can’t stand staying up all night lately. You can wear it to catch up on your sleep on the way to the venue tomorrow. I’ve been using this brand and it feels very comfortable.”
Fade didn’t know when he came back and caught him in the act, “Okay, you secretly give Hechen a gift! I want it too!”
Venus also came over to join in the fun and said to Hechen, “Just take it, it’s okay, don’t be burdened.”
This big guy is a real tiger sniffing roses, extremely sharp.
“It’s quite noisy.” Lin An complained as if he was disgusted, and patted He Chen on the shoulder to comfort him.
Hechen looked at them having fun together and shook his head. The inner lake that had been quiet for many years once again rippled.
Then he heard Lin An say: “Don’t worry about tomorrow, I’ll be there.”
