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

When the two returned to the base, it was almost 1 a.m.

The lights on the first floor of the base had long been turned off, leaving it pitch black. Only the training room still had some activity coming out, with the faint sound of keyboards being typed.

Pushing open the door, I saw that all three of them were still practicing.

The next match is against HY team, a young and fierce team that no one dares to underestimate.

Upon seeing the two enter, the three of them simultaneously removed their headphones and looked over in surprise.

In front of Cheng Yi and Ling Wang, Jiang Xingle took the lead and spearheaded the gossip, speaking first:

"Captain? Your susceptible period is over? We thought you guys wouldn't be back until right before the competition starts."

Xie Jichuan hummed in agreement, his tone indifferent: "After the injection of inhibitors, you'll be almost fully recovered by tomorrow."

He pulled out a chair, sat down, turned on his computer, stared at the screen for a few seconds in thought, and then started typing on the keyboard, seemingly working on something.

Seeing that Xie Jichuan was already busy, Jiang Xingle's gossipy gaze quickly shifted to Li Zhi:

"Oh dear, our Lychee god, he hasn't been training these past two days. Be careful, he might lose his number one spot in the Chinese server. He's probably having a career setback."

Li Zhizui can't stand hearing others question his declining abilities.

He scoffed lightly, turning on his computer as well, and casually retorted:

Even if my ranking drops to last place in the national server, I can still beat you to a pulp.

Jiang Xingle immediately dropped his smug smile and said "Oh" expressionlessly.

Li Zhi glanced at the time and opened the game client: "Anyone want to play ranked matches? Invite me. Let's play one before bed."

He tapped the keyboard a couple of times, casually practicing his combos. His teammates were working so hard, he couldn't fall behind.

Cheng Yi was the first to raise his hand: "Me, I'll play one more game and then go to sleep."

Ling Wang silently raised his paw, and a head slowly rose from behind the computer screen:

"Count me in."

Jiang Xingle immediately perked up, his eyes lighting up:

"How about we play a five-player team? I don't want to stay in the training camp anymore. Coach Liang made me practice predicting the distance to initiate team fights today, and my head is about to explode."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi craned her neck towards Xie Jichuan's direction, asking, "Are you coming for the five-man squad?"

Xie Jichuan seemed to be busy with something else, but he smiled slightly towards Li Zhi:

"You guys have fun, I'll take care of something else."

The computers in the training room were arranged to simulate the positions on the competition stage. Li Zhi couldn't see Xie Jichuan's screen, so she responded and looked away.

When he looked at his screen again, he found that Cheng Yi had already transferred the ownership of the house to him.

Jiang Xingle was still enthusiastically planning: "Four people can't make it, let's recruit a passerby..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Zhi cleanly and decisively kicked her out of the room.

"Lychee, what are you doing!" Jiang Xingle shouted.

Li Zhi turned around with a smile, her smile revealing an unmistakable grudge:

"No one who hasn't reached the top rank in the Chinese server is allowed in this room. Listen to the coach and keep practicing your initiation skills."

Jiang Xingle: "..."

He opened his mouth, only to find himself speechless.

After all, among the five people present, he was indeed the only one who had never reached the top of the national server rankings.

But isn't it asking too much of a support player to reach the top of the national server rankings in the Masters Tournament?

Just as he was about to launch into a tirade, Ling Wang silently spoke up in agreement:

"Lychee is right, both Cheng Yi and I have been number one."

Jiang Xingle broke down: "What do you mean, 'right'? You just assume whoever speaks is right!"

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to his complaints.

The three of them had already put on their headphones to block out the outside world and entered the game queue.

Jiang Xingle muttered "two brats" and disheartenedly prepared to go back to that tedious training camp.

Just as he turned around, Xie Jichuan suddenly called out to him:

"Star, were you teammates with Dashan in the youth training team before?"

Jiang Xingle was eager for someone to chat with him right now, so he quickly spun his gaming chair and slid over.

After seeing Xie Jichuan's computer screen, she was surprised for a moment, then tilted her head and started muttering to herself.

Even after everyone had finished a game, Jiang Xingle was still huddled in front of Xie Jichuan's computer, chattering away with lingering enthusiasm.

Cheng Yi left first to feed his pets a midnight snack.

Li Zhi stared at Jiang Xingle for a few seconds, and just as she was about to walk over, Ling Wang poked her in the back.

The tall Alpha stood before him, his eyes shining as he looked at him:

"Lychee, shall we go back to the dorm together?"

Seeing his expectant face, Li Zhi glanced one last time at the two people still huddled together, then packed her things:

"Let's go."

Ling Wang walked beside him, feeling increasingly satisfied with himself.

Lychee, who seemed the most unapproachable, is now able to socialize freely, which is a huge improvement.

Completely unaware that someone was secretly watching him and Li Zhi's departing figures from behind the computer, peeking out with one eye.

Seeing the two leave the training room, Xie Jichuan withdrew his gaze and raised his hand to interrupt Jiang Xingle's eloquent speech:

"Alright, that's enough for you. You should go back and rest now."

Jiang Xingle successfully slacked off during the boring training camp and was in a good mood: "Captain, aren't you going to sleep yet?"

Xie Jichuan urged him to leave: "I'll stay later, you go first."

Jiang Xingle didn't think too much about it and happily got off the plane to go back to sleep.

The next morning, the league officially announced the punishment for Xiao Yu.

Although Xiao Yu has been dismissed by UUC, his registration file is still managed by the alliance.

[Penalty Notice:]

[An investigation has confirmed that Xiao Yu, a former UUC youth player, recently violated Omega's autonomy, and the evidence is accurate. He is hereby expelled from the league and banned for life. The relevant evidence has been transferred to the judiciary.]

[All personnel should take this as a warning, strictly adhere to the bottom line, and be strict with themselves.]

The comment section exploded instantly.

My god, esports really is the best cosmetic procedure for men.

[It's fortunate that they caught it early, especially since they're only in the youth training team; what will they be like when they grow up?]

Which Omega? I've never heard of him.

[No matter which Omega they are, their privacy will not be revealed. The law protects their privacy; they have the right to privacy, okay?]

[After this incident, the league will definitely be more disciplined. Hopefully, no one will break the law now that things are so sensitive.]

[Hilarious! Anyone who would commit a crime right now would be an idiot.]

The next second, the official authorities issued another penalty notice.

[Penalty Notice:]

[An investigation revealed that RAK team River and VD team DaShan violated league rules and are hereby penalized accordingly.]

River and Dashan were each fined RMB 20000 and given a public reprimand.

[All participants are urged to learn from this experience and strictly abide by the competition rules.]

[...The prophet upstairs has killed me.]

【Wait, there really are two idiots?】
