You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

"cybercafe?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Jiang Che subconsciously glanced at Su Qinghe.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go; after all, when he was still in Lincheng, Wang Kai would often drag him to internet cafes to play games together.

While his skill level might not be exceptionally high, he's still a legendary figure, ranking among the top in the country, so naturally he's not afraid of losing face in front of Xu Wenbin and the others.

The main reason is that Su Qinghe has never been to an internet cafe.

Jiang Che felt that it was a bit strange that his girlfriend was going to internet cafes with her roommates instead of going shopping or on a date.

Su Qinghe noticed his gaze and blinked, "Why are you looking at me?"

"I'm afraid you won't be used to it."

"What's there to be unaccustomed to?" Su Qinghe hugged his arm, her tone filled with a hint of eagerness. "Although I've never been to an internet cafe, it's not like I don't know how to play. I remember everything you taught me."

Hearing this, Xu Wenbin got excited: "Wow, sister-in-law, you can play games?"

"Not really," Su Qinghe shook her head honestly. "Jiang Che taught me for a while before, so I guess I'd say I'm at a beginner level."

"That's perfect!" Xu Wenbin clapped his hands. "With so many of us, those who know how to play can help those who don't, making two teams of five!"

Lin tide raised her hand from the side: "I'm not very good at it either. Don't put pressure on me if I play badly. If all else fails, I'll be the atmosphere cheerleader and cheer you on."

"Atmosphere my ass, you'll be on my team later, I'll teach you step by step, I guarantee you'll be able to easily take down the other team." Xu Wenbin patted his chest and guaranteed.

Lin tide rolled her eyes at him: "Who needs you to teach me step by step? I can do it myself."

Zhao Weilan and Shen Shiyu both said that they often play these games and are not complete newbies.

Since everyone agreed to the plan, Lu Ziang took the initiative to say, "Let's go then. There's an internet cafe right outside the south gate of the school, just turn right. The environment is nice, and the computers are new."

"I didn't realize, Lao Lu, that you even know about this stuff? You don't usually seem like the type to hang out in internet cafes," Xu Wenbin teased, putting his arm around his shoulder.

Lu Ziang smiled calmly and then explained, "No, I just wandered around outside the school gates for the first two days of school. After a few times, I became familiar with the surrounding area."

The group headed towards the internet cafe in a large group.

During the journey, Jiang Che sent Wang Kai a message: "Are you there? Want to play some later?"

Wang Kai's reply was lightning fast: "Go ahead and fight! Why wouldn't you fight? My brother Che finally remembered me, his brother. If I don't give him face, he'll probably issue a kill order against me!"

Jiang Che: "...Qinghe, a few college classmates, and I are going to an internet cafe to have a civil war. You and Liu Mengyao will join from a distance, making it a perfect 5v5 with ten people."

Wang Kai: "Okay, Mengyao is right next to me right now. Just send me a message when you get there, and we'll log in anytime."

Jiang Che: "Then I'll pull you up later."

Ten minutes later, the group arrived at the internet cafe.

Strictly speaking, this place shouldn't be called an internet cafe, but rather an e-sports arena, because it's really large and luxurious.

The e-sports arena is called "Geek Space" and its decor features a dark industrial style.

Upon entering, you'll see a row of computer cases with RGB lighting effects, and several huge gaming monitors are mounted on the wall, playing highlights of professional matches on a loop.

A faint smell of mechanical keyboard switch oil wafted through the air, mixed with a subtle fragrance, wafting towards everyone.

As soon as Xu Wenbin entered, he took a deep breath, his expression like that of a pilgrim: "Hmm~ 99% perfect, a rare find! This is the smell, I haven't smelled it in so long."

Song Mingxuan muttered to himself behind him, "Is it really that much of a fuss? It's just playing a game. Didn't you play it in the dorm yesterday? What's the difference between coming to an internet cafe and staying in the dorm?"

"Being good at playing games in a dorm and being good at playing games in an internet cafe are two different things, okay? It's about the atmosphere, you know what atmosphere means?"

Song Mingxuan was too lazy to argue with Xu Wenbin about this matter, so he gave a few perfunctory replies and then dropped the topic.

The group booked two private rooms.

The private rooms are two adjacent four-person rooms separated by a semi-transparent frosted glass partition.

The rooms are divided into male and female rooms, and the soundproofing is only so-so; if the sound is slightly loud, the person next to you can hear it.

Jiang Che sat down in the boys' private room, turned on his computer, logged into his account, and put on his headphones.

Xu Wenbin sat to his left, Song Mingxuan to his right, and Lu Ziang on the far side.

Jiang Che quickly created a room in the game and then invited Wang Kai and Liu Mengyao in.

As soon as Wang Kai entered the room, he turned on his mic and bombarded the room with his voice: "Old Jiang—is my mic really that loud—?"

"...It's alright," Jiang Che turned the volume down two notches, "Keep your voice down, I have classmates here."

"Okay, okay," Wang Kai immediately switched to a serious tone, "Hello brothers, I'm Lao Jiang's brother Wang Kai, you can just call me Wang Kai."

Xu Wenbin replied into the microphone, "Hello, Brother Kai, my name is Xu Wenbin."

"Hello, Brother Xu!"

The two of them addressed each other as "brother," each sticking to their own way of speaking.

Song Mingxuan and Lu Ziang also gave Wang Kai a brief greeting.

Wang Kai and Xu Wenbin have quite similar personalities; they can both become familiar with anyone in three seconds.

In just a few words, the two became close friends.

The competition has officially begun.

The two teams were divided into two groups: Jiang Che, Su Qinghe, Xu Wenbin, Wang Kai, and Liu Mengyao.

Lin tide, Song Mingxuan, Lu Ziang, Zhao Weilan, and Shen Shiyu form a team.

On the surface it appears to be a mixed team, but in reality Jiang Che's side has four skilled fighters, while the opposing side only has Lu Ziang and Shen Shiyu.

In the first game, Jiang Che chose Jetwind, while Su Qinghe chose a core hero to follow behind him.

Xu Wenbin, the Hunter, and Wang Kai, the Phoenix, formed a four-man team to attack the point head-on, while Liu Mengyao, the Zero, was looking for opportunities to poke around in the middle lane.

Su Qinghe's skills were no longer as clumsy as before; she consciously aimed her crosshair at the headshot line while walking.

As soon as Jiang Che said he was ready to attack, Su Qinghe immediately gave him two smoke bombs, then added buffs and shockwaves, and finally finished him off with a shot.

Kuku quickly wiped out Lin tide and her group, leaving no one alive.

"Holy crap, Su, you're amazing!" Xu Wenbin exclaimed over the microphone. "Your skill level is at least diamond, right?"

"There's nothing I can do, my boyfriend taught me well," Su Qinghe replied calmly.

Xu Wenbin: "..."

In the third round, Lu Ziang organized his team to change tactics. He led Lin tide and Zhao Weilan out from point A, preparing to flank Jiang Che and his team at point B.

Although Lin tide was a complete novice, she was surprisingly bold.

Once they had almost reached Jiang Che and the others' backsides, Lin tide immediately took her submachine gun and launched an attack from the front.

While charging, he screamed into the voice chat, "Aaaaaah, all of you, die!"
