BVAHEDLA[W Chapter 3
by VolareChapter 3 E-sports 3 “Perform well and strive for a starting position.”…
Outside the door, Lu Mo-chen paused, looking at Chu Li-fei in shock.
Chu Li-fei’s expression remained unchanged as he pushed open the door and walked in: “Yu Qing, let him go.”
The two people in the room were obviously surprised that Chu Li-fei had overheard their argument, and they were both stunned.
Li Yun-ping was clearly still a little guilty, lowering his head and not daring to look at Chu Li-fei.
Ever since joining the MU team, Chu Li-fei had been the one leading him, and Chu Li-fei had also been the one going over replays with him and the coach. It could be said that without Chu Li-fei, he wouldn’t be where he was today.
But…
Li Yun-ping’s gaze subtly swept over Chu Li-fei’s right hand.
His hand was injured. Would he really be able to perform at the same level as before in the future?
Li Yun-ping was actually panicked when he first heard the news. As a professional player, it was impossible not to want to win a championship.
But he had personally witnessed Chu Li-fei’s hand injury causing him to make mistakes and his condition to decline.
He began to hesitate…
And at this moment, a team contacted him…
The atmosphere in the room became awkward. Luo Qi opened his mouth, obviously wanting to say something to ease the tension, but he didn’t know what to say.
Li Yun-ping was the first to react.
He silently packed up his belongings from his original spot, and when he passed by Chu Li-fei, his expression was hesitant and conflicted: “Take care. Sorry.”
After saying that, he left the room as if fleeing.
Chu Li-fei acted as if he hadn’t heard anything, making no reaction.
The transfer was between the two clubs and Li Yun-ping. They had all agreed, and Li Yun-ping was paying a penalty to leave, so he had nothing to ask about.
As for the so-called “backstab,” Chu Li-fei recognized that he wasn’t the original owner, and had no right to choose whether to hate or forgive on his behalf.
What he had to do was to win the championship for the original owner! That was all.
Chu Li-fei still had that same indifferent expression, making it impossible for Luo Qi and the others to tell his mood.
He grabbed the jacket from the back of the chair and said to Luo Qi and the others, “I’ll take Lu Mo-chen to familiarize himself with the club and the apartment. You guys continue.”
“The training rooms and offices are all on the second floor, as well as a few rest areas.”
Chu Li-fei introduced things to Lu Mo-chen one by one. His tone was calm, and his voice was as clear as a spring, making people feel comfortable listening to him.
“The first floor is basically the living area. There will be an auntie to cook, but you can also order takeout if you want. There’s also a gym over there, although not many people use it.”
Lu Mo-chen looked in the direction of Chu Li-fei’s gaze. There were a few pillows on the sofa in the hall, as well as two jackets of unknown ownership. There was also leftover fried chicken takeout on the table that hadn’t been cleaned up.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to see the apartment.”
The apartment was not far from the club, located in the residential area opposite the club.
Chu Li-fei opened the door and took a key from the drawer in the entryway, handing it to Lu Mo-chen.
There were still a few empty rooms on the second floor. Lu Mo-chen looked at the nameplates on the doors and directly chose the one across from Chu Li-fei’s.
“You can move your luggage in these next few days.”
“There’s one more thing. The QWE Spring Split roster will be released in ten days. So you’ll need to cooperate with the club to take some photos in the team uniform these next few days. However, the time is a bit tight, and your uniform might not be ready.” Chu Li-fei looked at Lu Mo-chen, the dim light softening his features: “But I have an unused set here. I don’t know if you mind.”
Lu Mo-chen’s face flushed, and his earlobes were slightly hot, but the light in the apartment corridor was dim, so it wasn’t obvious. “It’s, it’s okay. I don’t mind.”
Although Chu Li-fei found Lu Mo-chen’s shy tone a little strange, he didn’t think much of it. He opened his room door and began rummaging through the closet.
Lu Mo-chen followed Chu Li-fei’s movements, his gaze quickly glancing through his room before turning away. He couldn’t help but be a little surprised by what he saw.
Besides the computer, the desk was piled with various papers. A few jackets were thrown on the bed, and the corner of the blanket hung down, almost touching the floor.
He had thought Chu Li-fei’s room would be the kind that was meticulous and very tidy.
Just then, the sound of the closet door closing interrupted Lu Mo-chen’s thoughts.
Chu Li-fei came out of the room. Probably to make it easier to find, he had rolled up his sleeves, revealing his cold white forearms. His slender fingers held a bag of unopened clothes as he handed it over.
Lu Mo-chen took the clothes, his fingers brushing against Chu Li-fei’s knuckles, feeling a slightly cool temperature. He scanned Chu Li-fei’s fair and slender fingers, and still asked the question he had been hesitating about all the way: “Captain, your hand…”
He didn’t know how to continue the sentence.
Fortunately, Chu Li-fei understood.
However, he seemed unconcerned, leisurely adjusting his sleeves, and half-jokingly said, “That’s why you need to perform well and strive for a starting position.”
Chu Li-fei gradually walked away, the mixed yellow light shining on him, warm, yet adding a bit of loneliness.
Lu Mo-chen’s originally quiet heart was like a calm lake being hit by a stone, rippling with waves. He stared at Chu Li-fei’s back for a long time, unable to regain his senses.
The club’s efficiency was fast. A few days later, the MU team’s official Weibo updated with an official announcement.
The comments section instantly exploded. There were MU fans, Lu Mo-chen’s fans, and a bunch of people watching the drama.
[Damn, son, Mom was just kidding. You’re not going to stop streaming, are you?] This was obviously Lu Mo-chen’s fan.
[Guan Dong Zhu? I’ve run into him before, he’s pretty strong. But MU already has Chu Li-fei. Did they spend a lot of money to recruit a substitute?]
[The new guy looks good. Good luck in the Spring Split!]
[MU is seeing that they can’t win a championship, so they’re developing into a boy band, holding a beauty pageant, right?]
…
The online discussions were heated, but none of this had anything to do with Lu Mo-chen.
He was sitting next to Chu Li-fei, fiddling with the streaming equipment.
This was originally Li Yun-ping’s spot, but he had transferred, so Lu Mo-chen had directly moved his things over.
The contract signed with the club originally included streaming duties. The club also planned to take advantage of the official announcement to ride the wave of traffic and have Chu Li-fei duo queue with him.
Before long, Lu Mo-chen opened the stream. He adjusted the position of the camera and greeted the audience skillfully.
“What should we stream today?” Lu Mo-chen skillfully answered the questions in the chat: “I’m duo queuing with the captain today.”
Before he could finish speaking, another batch of people flooded into the stream.
A viewer directly gifted a present, and an eye-catching barrage floated across, which wrote: Let me see T God.
Instantly, a row of “rwkk” (respectfully requesting a glimpse) floated across the chat.
Lu Mo-chen called out to Chu Li-fei, signaling him to look at the chat.
Chu Li-fei, seeing this, directly got up, bent down, and put his hand on Lu Mo-chen’s shoulder, greeting the viewers.
Chu Li-fei then sat back down and logged into his smurf account.
His smurf’s ID was TnT, also very cute. He accepted the invitation on the screen and entered the game room. He quickly discovered that the room owner’s ID was QAQ. With these two IDs together, it seemed today’s game would be fraught with difficulty.
The ranks of these two accounts weren’t too high, so they quickly entered the game.
During the game’s pick and ban phase, Chu Li-fei heard Lu Mo-chen asking him what he wanted to play. The other party also subtly looked at his hand.
Today was originally a day off, and Chu Li-fei didn’t want to work overtime and make things difficult for himself, so he directly picked a Fairy.
This was a support hero, and at level 4, it could directly attach to someone’s head, freeing up both hands.
Lu Mo-chen also directly locked in a jungler.
Unexpectedly, the 4th floor directly exploded, sending a string of *.
Only three words, “couple dogs,” weren’t censored.
Lu Mo-chen’s stream was instantly filled with haha’s.
The two of them ignored him. However, after entering the loading screen, Chu Li-fei realized something. That was, he had accidentally equipped Smite as his summoner spell.
He was so busy choosing a skin just now that he didn’t react at all when he saw Smite.
The chat was another wave of haha’s, and some people were telling Lu Mo-chen to build support items.
Lu Mo-chen’s gaze swept over the chat, and an idea came to him. At the start of the game, he directly told Chu Li-fei to follow him.
Chu Li-fei chose the most expensive skin, with sparkling special effects surrounding the Fairy as it flew gracefully in the air.
Lu Mo-chen took Chu Li-fei to directly invade the enemy’s red buff.
Chu Li-fei saw Lu Mo-chen directly using Smite, leaving the monster at low health and not moving. He instantly understood Lu Mo-chen’s meaning, and used Smite to take the buff directly.
Instantly, a red halo lit up under the Fairy’s feet.
Lu Mo-chen repeated the same trick, and Chu Li-fei unceremoniously took the blue buff. Thus, the Fairy started with double buffs, which was very nice.
Although Lu Mo-chen gave up all the buffs, his economy wasn’t low.
At this moment, the enemy marksman on the bottom lane showed his face.
Chu Li-fei panned the view and found that his own marksman had been pressured to below half health, while the enemy still had most of their health bar left, so he and Lu Mo-chen directly went to gank the bottom lane.
Chu Li-fei first used a skill to control the enemy marksman, and Lu Mo-chen quickly supplemented the damage.
The announcer popped up [Fairy First Blood].
The lethal damage came from the second stage of the first skill.
Immediately afterward, the public chat exploded again.
Chu Li-fei discovered that this marksman was the one on the 4th floor from before.
He started typing again, meaning to accuse Chu Li-fei of stealing his kill.
Chu Li-fei directly blocked him.
The Fairy’s economy had now reached the top.
After the Fairy reached level 4, Chu Li-fei directly clicked on his ultimate and attached to the jungler controlled by Lu Mo-chen.
He and Lu Mo-chen quickly started the Dragon, then invaded the jungle, pushed the tower, and the rhythm was great.
At this time, a kill occurred in the bottom lane.
Chu Li-fei glanced over and saw that the enemy jungler and marksman had ganked together and killed his own marksman.
The 4th floor started typing again, accusing Lu Mo-chen of not ganking.
Lu Mo-chen directly blocked him as well.
Chu Li-fei and Lu Mo-chen directly moved into the enemy jungle, farming the enemy’s jungle and then farming their own.
During this time, the 4th floor was killed twice more.
Okay, he was feeding.
Chu Li-fei understood in his heart, and he and Lu Mo-chen directly ate the bottom lane minion wave.
When the time came to 10 minutes, the enemy had already lost the first tower in the middle and top lanes, but the blue side’s bottom lane first tower had also fallen, and the middle lane first tower only had a sliver of health left.
Lu Mo-chen quickly went to start the Overlord, while Chu Li-fei secretly headed towards the Tyrant.
Chu Li-fei went around from his own red buff area, hiding in the bushes, watching the Tyrant’s health bar rapidly decrease.
Seeing the Tyrant’s health bar getting lower and lower, he decisively used Smite.
Two kill announcements popped up almost simultaneously. The Tyrant and Overlord were both killed by the blue side, which was Chu Li-fei’s team.
Seeing that the Tyrant was stolen, the red side quickly chased up, intending to leave the Fairy behind.
Unfortunately, the Fairy quickly ran towards the middle lane.
When the red side was one step away from catching up, the Fairy transformed into a spirit and floated away.
Lu Mo-chen arrived.
A mid-lane brawl was about to break out!
In the end, Chu Li-fei and his team relied on the buff and traded 2 for 5, wiping out the enemy.
The two who died were the marksman and mage.
Lu Mo-chen, with the Fairy on his head, mischievously sent an emoji on the marksman’s corpse.
At 14 minutes, the red side’s crystal shattered.
The Fairy’s final score was 10/0/7.
On the settlement page, Chu Li-fei and Lu Mo-chen both reported the 4th floor at the same time.
Later, Chu Li-fei played a few more games of support, mage, and top laner before resting.
A few days later, the QWE Spring Split roster was announced.
Only one line was shown in the MU team’s jungler position.
MU Guan Dong Zhu – Lu Mo-chen.
