[Esports] Team Leader Xie, your mid laner is causing trouble again.

Chapter 30 Baby

Cheng Yi found the wallet in no time and handed it to Li Zhi: "Take a look."

Li Zhi took it and flipped through it.

It is indeed a women's wallet, light pink, small and exquisite, with meticulous workmanship.

But even after looking at it twice, he still couldn't understand why Xie Jichuan bought it.

What can an Alpha do with a women's wallet? Give it as a gift?

Just as he was lost in thought, his fingertips touched the texture of the button.

He looked down and saw a small lychee engraved on the metal button.

After a pause, Li Zhi looked at the label on the inside of the wallet. It also had a lychee on it, and even a line of small print that said the wallet's name was Lychee.

Li Zhi's heart started racing.

A somewhat narcissistic thought popped into my head: Xie Jichuan bought this wallet because of the lychee icon, right? And his name was even engraved on it.

Furthermore, given Cheng Yi's earlier statement that Xie Jichuan had a photo of him in his wallet, it makes even more sense.

Li Zhi pursed her lips, suppressing the joy that was welling up inside her, and handed the wallet back to Cheng Yi: "Thank you for telling me all this."

Cheng Yi took it and said nothing more: "Good luck in the training match."

This discovery made Li Zhi unconsciously curl the corners of her mouth while taking a shower, without her even realizing it.

His good mood lasted until he arrived at the training room.

Pushing open the door, I found several people already there, idly practicing last-hitting minions, the sound of keyboards clicking intermittently.

Li Zhi scanned the area and found the only empty camera position—right next to Xie Jichuan.

The computer equipment is all new, but they are all standard models; they work, but they're not user-friendly.

When Xie Jichuan saw him arrive, he handed him a mouse case: "I remember you usually use this brand. I have a spare one. You can use this one first."

Li Zhi glanced down and saw that it was indeed the model he usually used, even the side button color scheme was the same.

He then thought of the wallet and the photo inside that had been secretly taken at some unknown time, and Li Zhi's mood became even more smug.

She even gave Xie Jichuan a friendly look, and her voice became lighter:

"Thank you, Captain."

Hearing the word "Captain" ring in Xie Jichuan's ears, Xie Jichuan felt completely relieved.

He remained outwardly calm, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and he tapped the keyboard twice with his fingers, as if trying to hide something.

After two years, he finally heard that title again.

"After the training matches are over and the contract is signed," Xie Jichuan said, somewhat impatient to officially appoint himself as captain, "we'll replace all your equipment with new ones, all the brands you're used to."

While adjusting her headphones, Li Zhi replied with a "Okay".

The last syllable rose slightly, carrying a hint of intimacy that even he himself didn't realize.

Liang Shoucheng pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Song Bo, who smiled and glanced around at everyone in the room:

"Kids, get ready to start. Coach Shi Kai said they've already booked the rooms."

The group responded immediately and began logging into their training match accounts, the keyboards clattering loudly.

Li Zhigang moved the mouse to the login screen, then suddenly stopped and raised his hand:

"Coach, I don't have a dedicated account for practice matches."

Professional players use secret smurf accounts to schedule scrims, so that even if the match records are leaked, their tactics will not be revealed. This is a basic practice for all teams.

Liang Shoucheng smiled apologetically at him, his tone tinged with remorse:

"I've been so busy building a new team lately that I completely forgot about this. Do you have any alt accounts that nobody else knows about?"

Li Zhi shook her head awkwardly: "I've played all my alternate accounts during live streams, and my fans have seen it."

Jiang Xingle, watching the spectacle with amusement, wholeheartedly agreed:

"Indeed, I've heard that Lychee once made a bet with a hater that he could get all eighteen of his smurf accounts into the top 500 of the Masters Ranked Tournament in one season of streaming."

Everyone looked at him curiously, and Ling Wang moved and looked over as well.

"I heard that the person who loses the bet has to video call the other person 'Dad' three times. Did Lychee end up becoming a father?"

Kurichi, whose dark past was suddenly exposed, replied: "...No."

Thinking about this, he was still somewhat indignant. "He deleted the account after I finished playing the tenth alt account, but I didn't know that and still insisted on playing the remaining eight."

The rest of the people burst into laughter.

Song Bo couldn't help but chuckle a couple of times, but after being glared at by Liang Shoucheng, he shrank back and said, "Or... how about Lychee uses my account?"

Liang Shoucheng rejected the idea without even thinking: "No, training matches require max level and max runes, and your account doesn't even have a full rune page."

"Besides, you don't play mid lane, so your champion pool doesn't match."

The training room fell silent.

"I have a max-level alt account," Xie Jichuan said, glancing at Li Zhi. "Lychee can use it."

Liang Shoucheng visibly relaxed and nodded: "Okay, you log in to Lychee's account, the rest of you go into the room first."

The group entered the room one after another, and the UUC team was already fully in place.

The player in the mid-lane position had an unfamiliar ID; he looked like a newcomer who had just been promoted from the youth training team.

The game hadn't even started, but the two started chatting in the chat channel.

[The Universe's Number One Jungler: Where are Xiao Lizhi and Chuan Chuan?]

This ID and that irritating tone—you can tell it's Chi Lie at a glance.

RAK's only friend is Jiang Xingle. The two have played against each other in WPL. They're not exactly close, but they can still exchange a few words.

[Whoever provides the milk is my mother: Lychee doesn't have an account, the team leader is helping him set one up.]

Jiang Xingle had just posted this message when Chi Lie sent another one.

[The Universe's Number One Jungler: Oh? River actually has a smurf account we didn't know about? I thought he was so upright and honest.]

"Whoever feeds me is my mother: Mind your own business."

The two chatted back and forth for a while, creating a lively atmosphere. Other people on both sides occasionally chimed in, so it didn't feel deserted.

Just then, a system announcement popped up:

[Chuan entered the room]

Everyone is familiar with Xie Jichuan's pen name.

Just as Jiang Xingle was about to type "The captain is here," a second system notification popped up.

Above the message he hadn't yet sent, it was clearly displayed:

[Child Chuan Chuan entered the room]

The room was silent for a few seconds.

Jiang Xingle's fingers hovered above the keyboard, his mouth slightly open, and he let out a short, dumbfounded "Ah."

Cheng Yi: "Huh?"

Ling Wang glanced at them and then let out an "Ah," but his expression was completely calm and devoid of any emotion.

A few seconds later, Xie Jichuan's message broke the silence.

[Chuan: Honey, change the splitter settings.]
