Top Of Glory[Esports] Chapter 68
bydeep affection
The World Championship was approaching, and Qiao Zhi took away the team members’ IDs to go through the formalities in advance.
He Chen was a little curious and asked one more question.
“For world-class competitions, ordinary business visas will not work. You need to apply for a special competition visa.” Qiao Zhi explained, “And this year’s world competition venue is in the North American region, and their process is very troublesome.”
“In order to avoid possible unexpected situations, each team usually makes preparations in advance.” Before Qiao Zhi could say a few words, Lin An came over and took over.
He put his arm around He Chen’s shoulders and spoke to him in a low voice.
Fade ended the game, stood up and stretched his neck, looked at the two of them, and suddenly bumped Venus next to him with his elbow.
“Why do I feel…the atmosphere between the captain and He Chen has been indescribably strange recently?” He touched his chin, his eyes suspicious.
Venus was improving her scores during the live broadcast, and when she heard this, her skills all started to drift.
Before he could hide it, the fans watching the live broadcast started to surf the screen after smelling it.
Messages with special effects flashed over Venus’ head.
【What what?Why is it strange?】
[Fade tells us in detail!I have a friend who wants to hear it…]
[Goddess brother, stop pretending, we all heard it——]
[What are you talking about? No need to explain. Brother Goddess, just move the camera for us a little so we can see it with our own eyes.】
[I-I-Knew-I could tell there was something wrong with Dawn’s hand slip in the final!】
Venus no longer cares about the outspoken Fade. While bombarding the game, she also cares about the reputation of the team and resigns herself to talking nonsense in her solo live broadcast room.
“What other kind of friendship is there? The friendship between father and son.”
He said perfunctorily: “Don’t you all know? Dawn was personally taught by our captain after visiting the thatched cottage three times.”
“So in order to repay the captain, Dawn throws skills to the captain in the game. What is this called? The crow feeds back!”
He smacked his lips as he spoke, and he was moved. If this wasn’t a touching father-son relationship, what else could it be?
Coco had just finished playing a round and got up to look for water. When Venus interrupted her, the Coke she had just drank spurted out with a pop.
He sprayed all over Lao Tao who walked in.
Lao Tao: “…”
Lao Tao didn’t know what they were playing at. The corner of his mouth twitched. He was on the verge of getting angry. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of He Chen wearing headphones and practicing micro-control. The fire that was about to burn was quietly extinguished.
“Okay, let’s get down to business. We’re still competing. Take off your headphones and give me a distraction. Those who are live broadcasting will turn off their microphones. Those who are not in line will stop first, and then turn them on again after finishing speaking.”
What Lao Tao wants to talk about at this time must be related to the World Championship.
Several people didn’t talk to him, they were busy with their own things and listened distractedly.
“As of now, the champions and runners-up of the Korean Division have also been announced. In other words, the participating teams for the World Championship have been determined.”
The materials in Lao Tao’s hands were turning loudly, “There are various predictions for this year’s championship. To put it bluntly, there are many championship reserves, but only one team can win the championship trophy every year.”
“Our old rival, the Korean Division, still used the eagle tactics this year, and forced two teams of Werewolves to come out. In addition to the old team WOK, there is also a new team that has emerged. Their captain is a mid laner. Speaking of it…it is a bit similar to the characteristics of our monster newcomers.”
Several people in the room who had not entered the game turned to look at He Chen.
Hechen himself was still in the game, and the special effects of his skills were flashing. He looked indifferent and stated objectively: “You will know if it looks like it or not.”
Lao Tao choked, but he didn’t expect that even He Chen would light up, “Very good, keep this momentum going.”
“In addition to the two werewolf teams in South Korea, there are also ace seed teams in the North American region this year. Including the MS we have played against before, Lin An knows their strength.”
Lin An was named, recalled for a moment, and nodded in agreement, “Their jungle is quite interesting.”
“You gave him such a high evaluation!” Qiao Zhi was surprised. It was rare for him to hear serious words of praise from Lin An.
“It is worthy of the name.” Lao Tao said: “There are also some teams that have not been shown before. I have watched all the public game videos in each division, and I can tell you very responsibly that every opponent team you face is at its peak.”
“…So exaggerated?”
“It’s no exaggeration.” Lao Tao turned on his computer and shared with them the official predicted lineup and results trend report.
“The winning rate of this North American team is almost 60, right? Is it so high?”
The official prediction data are comprehensively calculated based on the performance of each game of players in each district, and have certain reference value.
Between the two games, Hechen called up the chat interface and glanced at the data.
“This time we should pay special attention to a dark horse team in the German division. The jungler in their team is strong when they want to be strong. As the name suggests, he is a chameleon.”
“The most amazing thing about Chameleon is that no matter what character his opponent uses and how wonderful his coordination is, Chameleon can recreate the tactical coordination and defeat magic with magic just by playing one round with him.”
After introducing such a series of powerful opponents, Fade heard it with sore teeth and hissed, “Do we still need to fight? It sounds like the opponents are like wolves and tigers.”
“Can you be more ambitious?” Old Tao hated the fact that iron cannot become steel. “It’s not over yet. After talking about external troubles, let’s talk about internal worries.”
“Ignoring these foreign teams, we are only talking about our domestic second seed, and they are still holding back their big moves to use us in the World Championship.”
When it comes to GND, Fade doesn’t feel sleepy all of a sudden.
“Why can’t this team be shaken off like cockroaches? Isn’t it disgusting?”
Qiao Zhi was still quite worried, “There’s nothing we can do. Our team is too strong and we will inevitably be targeted. But in this case, should we be more restrained in our early game?”
Coco sneered, “If we restrain ourselves a little, other teams will let down their guard? There’s no need for outsiders to watch the fun.”
FP has its own team spirit.
If they avoid a fight before it is fought, they will lose from the start.
Qiao Zhi spread his hands, “What should we do? Old Tao is so worried that he has several ulcers in his mouth.”
Fade felt that it was abnormal for him to be too suspicious, “Old Tao has an ulcer in his mouth, how did you know?”
Lao Tao: “…”
Qiao Zhi: “Are you a tiger? I know it by watching him spray.”
Lin An didn’t express much opinion from the beginning. After Lao Tao and Qiao Zhi explained the situation, they looked at Lin An and asked for his opinion.
“Hit me when I see you. What’s there to worry about?” Lin An turned his watch and picked up his phone to cast the screen, “Let’s watch the draw first.”
He was so calm that the tense atmosphere in the training room unknowingly relaxed.
He Chen hasn’t had enough rest time recently. Today’s training and parent Lao Tao analyzed the situation of the world championship and it was already almost two o’clock.
Lin An walked out after discussing with Lao Tao, and saw He Chen standing in front of the small-capacity refrigerator where drinks were stored, taking a can of iced coffee. When he turned around, he could clearly see the redness at the end of his beautiful eyes.
Just as He Chen was about to open the can, his hand suddenly slipped and became empty.
“Drinking coffee at this time, are you going to sleep tonight?” Lin An’s voice came from behind, and the whole can of coffee was thrown into his hand, “Confiscated.”
He Chen was hugged from behind, Lin An’s arms were wrapped around him, and the slightest smell of tobacco came out.
He Chen turned his head and smelled the mint aroma of toothpaste in Lin An’s breath.
Although Lin An carefully brushed his teeth after smoking, He Chen was still keenly aware of it, turned away from his embrace, and cast an accusing look on Lin An’s face.
His fingertips nimbly avoided Lin An’s hand, and he accurately dug out the remaining half-pack of incriminating evidence from Lin An’s breast pocket.
Lin An was in charge of others drinking coffee, but when it was his turn, he acted double-standard.
He coughed lightly, put the coffee back into the refrigerator, and coaxed Hechen in a low voice: “It’s almost three o’clock. Go to bed when you feel sleepy. Lao Tao said that your training mission for today has been completed.”
“Well,” He Chen nodded, “It’s almost three o’clock, why are you still smoking?”
He remained unmoved and stared at Lin An with his dark eyes. He pressed the cigarette box lightly with his fingertips and squeezed out a cigarette.
He Chen didn’t recognize this brand, but the ones Lin An used were definitely not cheap.
He tried to put the filter end in his mouth, “Is smoking this better than coffee? Can you teach me how to smoke it?”
He Chen’s soft light-colored lips held the end of the cigarette, and the look on He Chen made Lin An’s heart move.
He closed his eyes and chuckled, “Forget it, I lost to you.”
He Chen pretended not to understand, “Why did you lose to me?” He bit the cigarette like a biscuit stick and flicked it with his tongue.
The next second, the cigarette was in Lin An’s hand. He Chen’s lips brushed against Lin An’s fingers, and they sank a little softly, and then his lips covered them.
Lin An hugged him and kissed him hard. She seemed to be unhappy and bit his lip with a little force.
He Chen was bitten so hard that he hissed softly, and Lin An’s strength immediately relaxed.
His eyes were filled with a triumphant smile, curved like crescent moons.
Lin An subconsciously put the cigarette that he had taken from He Chen’s mouth to his mouth. When his waist was twisted, he quickly turned around and put the cigarette into his pants pocket.
The remaining half pack of cigarettes was thrown into the trash can by He Chen in front of him.
Yanlin An, who weighed hundreds of packs, didn’t even look at it. He raised his knuckles and flicked Hechen’s forehead, “You are really amazing now.”
He carried the person towards the dormitory.
He Chen told him seriously: “I used to know a senior who developed lung problems at a young age because he was under constant pressure from projects and became addicted to cigarettes. Don’t always take it seriously.”
Lin An didn’t care much, “There are still people who died young. If the King of Hell comes to take people in, it’s not necessarily because of smoking…”
When he finished speaking, Hechen slapped him on the arm.
“What did you say?”
Hechen’s face did not change color even when he was being chased and blocked during the game, but now there was a trace of annoyance on his face.
Lin An looked at him with frowning eyes, but Lin An didn’t feel afraid, she just thought he was cute.
“Of course I listen to you. I’ll quit smoking tomorrow, no, today, okay?”
Lin An walked him to the door of the dormitory, turned around and wanted to leave, but He Chen grabbed the corner of his clothes.
“Old Tao said you have nothing else to do today. Can you sleep at my place?”
He held Lin An’s hand and scratched Lin An’s knuckles little by little with his nails.
However, his eyes were very innocent, not ambiguous at all.
Just by looking at his dark eyes, Lin An knew what his plans were. He was just afraid that he would secretly smoke again.
But being stared at by his boyfriend like this, his heart softened into a quagmire without realizing it.
Lin An clasped his fingers with her backhand, rarely hesitating, “The training tasks have been tense recently. If I really stay later, you may cry.”
His words activated an unspeakable memory in Hechen’s mouth. The corners of his mouth twitched, but his hands tightened, as if he had made some kind of determination.
“Then be gentle and don’t make me hurt.”
