Chapter 228: Celebration Party

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

To be honest, if it wasn’t for the fact that there was a celebration party being set up, Luocheng really wanted to stay a few more days in Zhejiang University.

He hadn’t been able to spend enough time with Qianqian, and now he needed to rush back already.

Sigh, there would be more chances in the future.

Finding a secluded spot with no people around and stealing a few kisses from Qianqian, Luocheng finally reluctantly left Zhejiang University. Sitting in the train back to Shanghai University, everyone was in high spirits as they chatted. After all, they had defeated Zhejiang University, and it was a joyful event that would last for a long time.

The distance from Zhejiang University to Shanghai University wasn’t really that far, and they were back in about three hours later.

What surprised Luocheng, Yang Ying, Xiao Jia and everyone else, was that after getting off the train, there was a university bus parked outside waiting for them!

“F*ck, even the university bus is there, do they already know the results?” Jian Feng said, surprised.

“Of course they would, we defeated the runner up of the previous nationals. We have a great chance of getting into the top four and the finals, we’ve gotten a lot of points for the university. They’re definitely treating us like treasures now!” Xiao Jia boasted.

The bus sent them to the gates, and when they arrived, everyone was shocked once again!

Colorful banners were hung row by row, a group of cheerleaders waved colorful flags and banners as the bus carrying the e-sports members rolled in, and it even had the names of the five members on it.

The other cheerleaders were doing formations, shouting that the E-sports club was the strongest!

Soon after, shouts rang out from the school gates. When the E-sports members came down from the bus, a large crowd came rushing over.

The one leading the crowd was Qin Ting, and behind him were the e-sports fans who had stayed back after the game to enthusiastically welcome back the members!

Yang Ying, Jinbei, Xiao Jia and Wang Jun were all smiles.

Who didn’t like being surrounded by fans. When they had first stepped into the club, they were only there because they loved the game. Who knew that they would garner so much support!

“You lot, going off on your own to participate in a match, why didn’t you tell me?” Mr. Fang said as he walked toward the E-sports Club members.

His stern expression slowly morphed into relief, “But it turned out well!”

Mr. Fang patted the shoulders of several people as he praised them.

“Mr. Fang, are you all right?” Meiqi asked in concern.

“Well, what can I do, the dean still has the ability to discern right from wrong. However, the fact that you guys went on your own expenses to play the match and bring back this glory, you really helped solve a headache for the dean. Wait till you guys get into the top four, then you’ll be the pride of our university.” Mr. Fang said seriously.

Everyone nodded their heads, they were most concerned about Mr. Fang’s side because the E-sports Club couldn’t do without his support.

“Mr. Fang, the biggest contributor this round is Luocheng. Without him, we would have had an impossible time winning this match.” Xiao Jia said solemnly.

In the beginning, Xiao Jia had had a lot of objections against Luocheng joining the starter team. However, now that he had gotten to know him better, he practically worshiped him like he was a god.

There were players who used ADC or Mid to save the world, but there were only a handful of players like Luocheng who could use Support champions to save the world!

“That’s right, even though we took all the kills, it was only because of Luocheng that we could even reach this stage,” Jinbei said, his voice quivering.

Jinbei knew that his own strength couldn’t compare to Jiang Qimings’, and it was only because of Luocheng’s godlike Support that they were able to completely control the bottom lane, giving him the confidence that he needed badly.

Getting Legendary in this type of high tension match, it really gave him the feeling of being on cloud nine.

“You guys should’ve seen the basketball and football clubs, their faces were so ugly. I wanted to take a picture to show you guys.” Qin Ting said suddenly, his face lighting up as he remembered.

“We’ll give them a piece of our mind one day, that’ll teach them to look down on our club!”

“Oh right, we recorded the scene just now during the matches. Have a look, I’m telling you, after today, you guys are definitely celebrities in the university!”

***

All the members of the E-sports Club were present during dinner, and even some of the head of departments who normally didn’t show up were there. They drank wine and imparted some words of encouragement to the members, which flattered them greatly.

The heads were reasonable and didn’t stay too long, letting the youths enjoy themselves. During the celebration, Qin Ting played back the recording of the scene to everyone.

“Holy sh*t, this is even more exaggerated than Zhejiang University!” Jian Feng said, his voice full of surprise.

In the video, the entire community area of Shanghai University was full, there were people shouting and waving their hands, it really was no less spectacular than the crowd at Zhejiang University!

The crowd at Zhejiang University at that time had given them a feeling of inferiority, they had never expected that their own university would have garnered such a huge amount of support as well.

Well, it was great that they hadn’t let down the fans who loved e-sports.

“Oh yeah, why don’t we call our masters!” Wang Jun said suddenly.

“That’s right, how could we forget!” Yang Ying said, slapping his thighs. “Call them over, won’t you?” He continued, looking at Luocheng.

Luocheng nodded his head, giving Lin Dong a call. Lin Dong and the others were in a training session, and they had watched the match in the afternoon. They were very proud of Shanghai University team.

Shanghai University team was also very clear about the fact that without the training and guidance from Team Skycrown, it would have been impossible to obtain today’s victory. They were not only incredibly thankful for Luocheng’s abilities, but also to the teachings of Team Skycrown.

***

A group of people drinking until they were drunk, and Team Skycrown was no better off. Xiao Bei had always been afraid of talking to pretty girls, and Meiqi couldn’t help but continue to tease him and drink. After a few drinks, Xiao Bei suddenly began to talk a lot.

After drinking themselves late into the night, the members of the E-sports Club helped each other back to their dorms. The university was also very accommodating in letting them pass safely through the community area.

“You guys go on ahead, I’ll walk them out.” Luocheng said as he waved to Yang Ying.

Several members of Team Skycrown were drunk and they needed to be escorted back.

“Lin Dong, why are you standing there? Come on and roll back over here.” Da Luo said, his words slightly slurred.

Lin Dong’s face was flushed red, and he shoved both his hands into the pockets of his pants, standing at the gates of Shanghai University.

It was late in the night, and he was standing alone there, looking about weirdly.

“What’s wrong?” Luocheng asked, coming to stand beside him.

Lin Dong was super drunk, but Luocheng could tell that he was hiding something in his heart.

“Nothing…” Lin Dong replied, shaking his head.

“Don’t…Don’t pretend, you f*cking just want to attend university, don’t you?” Da Luo said after staggering over and placing his arms on Lin Dong’s shoulder.

“Not really.” Lin Dong said.

“Come on, it’s not like I don’t know you!” Da Luo said.

Lin Dong didn’t reply, choosing instead to turn his drunken self around to walk away. A fancy and magnificent university didn’t have anything to do with him.

Looking at Lin Dong who probably was offended as he left, Luocheng couldn’t help but feel helpless at that.

Lin Dong was a hacker, and his skills had already been polished when he was just a teenager. If it wasn’t for that cybercrime that he had been involved in, he would most likely would be a senior in the computer department at Beijing University or Fudan University. He could also have applied for further studies in a more sophisticated technology overseas with his skills.

However, he couldn’t even cross the line to attend university now. Looking at Lin Dong leave, Luocheng got to thinking, basketball, football, swimming, track, they all had special privileges. When would E-sports professional players have the same too?

“Lin Dong, it’s just a university, what’s the big deal? When we enter LPL and the Worlds, it’ll be the same happiness and sufferings, being a university student won’t match up to that!” Da Luo shouted in his slurred speech, chasing after Lin Dong.

Lin Dong turned around. After drinking, he wasn’t very talkative, in fact, he became more moody and gloomy, going silent.

“What, after being stimulated by a broken woman, you think you can indulge yourself?” Lin Dong said coldly.

“So what, I’m telling you, Shui Mo will eventually be mine, she won’t be able to get away. I’ll have a lot of money, buy her a good house, buy a car for her, and even buy expensive cosmetics for her. She’s mine, no one else can touch her…” Da Luo spat out as he staggered.

“I feel sorry for you, that woman has a few loose screws.” Lin Dong said disdainfully.

“I like her, so I like her that way, f*ck you. I don’t think she’s vulgar or cheap, it’s me who is rotten. I didn’t have the ability to give her what she wanted…” Trailing off, Da Luo couldn’t stand properly any longer and fell toward Lin Dong.

Lin Dong had also had too much to drink, so when Da Luo landed on him, he too, fell onto the grass.

“I…I…I’ll say this…this time…we’ll definitely get into LPL…”

“I know…I know…”

“We’ll…we’ll be famous, a lot…a lot of fans…lots of money…she…sooner or later…she’ll…see how much…”

“I don’t want to live in that…leaking…rain…mouldy room…I don’t like…smell of mould…hate…especially hate it…”

“I’ll let you sleep on the top bunk, there’s less smell of mould there.”

“Don’t want…we…we’ll get through this competition, earn a big sum of money…and then…then we’ll change to a better place.”

“Yeah, we’ll win this.”

“These two idiots.” Zhou Yan cursed, looking at the two who were sprawled on the flowerbed.

“Zhou Yan, my man…we’ll be rich…isn’t that right…”

“Yeah, yeah.” Zhou Yan said listlessly.

“You can…you can buy your way…into the university…I’ll save the money for Lin Dong…and help him buy his way in…”

After saying this, Da Luo fell completely asleep. Lin Dong was already snoring on the dirty grass beside him…

Luocheng could only stand beside them, watching the two speak drunken words.
