Chapter 191: Just Need to Win!

After that discussion, the Shanghai University students were calmer and they couldn’t wait to claim victory.

Not long after, Fudan University’s students entered the club room. On the surface, they were courteous, having smiles on their faces as they talked in a friendly fashion to them. But it seemed that everyone snickered when Huang Lin said ‘Friendship comes first before competitions’.

Huang Lin himself was a starter team member, and after some short introductions of their own members, both teams sat at their own seats.

“Come to think of it, how come we’ve not seen your club president?” Yang Ying asked.

“Our president comes and goes, apart from me and a few other vice presidents, even the facilitators have not seen him before.” Huang Lin explained.

“Such a mystery.” Yang Ying said.

“It’s not really mysterious, it’s just that she doesn’t really care much about the management of the club and leaves it up to me.” Huang Lin said.

“How about letting us know which players are playing what roles then?” Yang Ying said, changing the topic.

“Sure, from left to right, our Top, Jungler, Mid, ADC and Support...” Huang Lin said, smiling lightly, confidently introducing their second team positions.

“How is it?” Mr. Fang asked Yang Ying.

“Shit, their reserve team seems very OP.” Yang Ying said, frustrated.

“How so?” questioned Zheng Xia.

“All their individual rankings are above 2,200 points and their team ranking in the Ionia server is in the top ten!” Yang Ying replied.

“The players’ strength in the Ionia server and the Bilgewater server is not that different, to rank in the top ten, they must be damn strong!”

The top-ranking teams on the official site had basically been recruited by professional teams and it was harder than ever to enter for non-professional teams.

What the hell was wrong with Fudan University, their first team could hold their own against LPL professional teams, and their second team was also crazy. Weren’t they university students, could they not be so godlike when it came to games?

Luocheng was also puzzled, Fudan University was supposed to be leading in the academic field, but why were they so good in the E-sports field too?

Luocheng had seen Shanghai University’s starter team play before, and Yang Ying’s performance was better than the time at the cyber cafe competition. It was obvious that he didn’t play with others much and was instead pacing himself with his teammates.

For someone who’s individual strength couldn’t really be displayed, he carried the team as a core member.

Only, without his leadership, the odds of winning this match was unsure.

***

Both parties had entered the ban phase. With limited information, both sides would ban champions that were strong by themselves.

In picks, Shanghai University followed the national team line up, top was Shen, jungler was Elise, mid was Ryze and bot was Zyra and Caitlin.

Fudan University’s top was Zac, jungler was Lee Sin, mid was Ahri, and the bot is Ezreal and Sona.

Jian Feng was playing this round, so Luocheng could only stand at the side and watch.

Come to think of it, if Jian Feng won this round, then he wouldn’t need to come out in the next round. But if he lost, would he then be able to shine?

Forget it, don’t daydream.

***

Once the game started, both sides didn’t meet in the jungle but in the mid lane, clashing for quite a while.

Shen started off with a flashy entrance, Flashing in and casting his Taunt, taking their mid lane’s head. They got first blood before the creep line came out, and this was good news for Shanghai University.

Fudan University’s side was quieter, and they didn’t even flinch at the first blood that they lost.

As the match went into six minutes, both sides had still not gotten any more kills, all was peaceful. However, judging by the expressions on their faces, they were quite aware of each other’s positions, and every exchange made their hearts pound in excitement.

Bzz! Bzz!

As Luocheng was focused on the match, his phone vibrated.

“I’m going to take a call.” Luocheng told Yang Ying as he exited the room.

Initially, Luocheng thought it was Qianqian who had called. This girl would always update him on her whereabouts during the weekend. Presumably she had bought some cute accessories and wanted to let him know.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t her.

“Brother!” A melodious voice came through.

“Hey, what’s up?” Luocheng replied.

Yu Yu hadn’t been harassing him for a while, listening to her voice, Luocheng could imagine her beautiful slim face, and of course, the seemingly angelic smile that was hiding a devil behind it.

“Where are you?” Yu Yu asked.

“In Fudan University.” Luocheng said.

“Ah? Why are you there?” Yu Yu didn’t understand.

“Club activities.”

Luocheng definitely couldn’t tell her that it was the E-sports club, if she reported it to their parents, Luocheng would get into trouble. Moreover, Yu Yu had doubts about Luocheng’s involvement in E-sports. If he told her, Yu Yu could be more overbearing than his mother and he didn’t dare to just put down the call.

“I’m bored, chat with me for a while.” Yu Yu pouted.

The only one who could describe boredom as an affliction was this little devil.

“I’m not free right now.” Luocheng said.

“Not free but you picked up the phone? I don’t care, you have to chat with me.” Yu Yu said, her tone angry and persistent, not giving him any leeway.

“Alright...just for a bit.” Luocheng gave in. Since he wasn’t the one playing this match, it didn’t really matter anyway.

“Brother is the best!” Yu Yu’s tone changed immediately, making a kissing sound through the phone.

“Training for your competition is done?” Luocheng asked.

Right before National Day, Luocheng remembered his mother mentioning that this girl seemed to have won another prize, and it was quite a significant amount. He didn’t know the details about the story though.

“Yeah, it’s over. There will be fewer competitions in the winter, so our training is not as strict as before which is good. We trained and trained every day last time, and now after the competition, we finally get some rest and space.” Yu Yu said, laughing lightly.

“Oh, that’s a bit overwhelming, isn’t it?” Luocheng said.

“Of course it was!” Yu Yu nodded her head, although he couldn’t see it.

Yu Yu’s training had started when she was young, and to be honest, his physical contact with his sister was minimal and mostly through phone calls. Many times she would call in the middle of the night, crying and saying that she wanted to go home, not wanting to train anymore.

Luocheng would comfort her, talk to her, and after talking, she would continue her training the next day. Her hellish training was finally over, and she had entered into the world of sports now, even gaining some fame. If she could win a more established competition, she would probably climb the ladder to being a star.

It was an envious thought.

***

“Brother, have you found a girlfriend at your university?” Yu Yu changed topics really fast.

“You’ve already met her, haven’t you?” Luocheng said.

Yu Yu was silent for a while, and Luocheng knew she wasn’t happy anymore.

“The one called Yang Qianqian? She’s in Shanghai University?” Yu Yu asked.

“No, she’s in Hangzhou University.”

“You’re official?”

“Yeah.”

“Why didn’t you ask me?”

“Ask you for what?” Luocheng said, startled. It wasn’t as if he needed to ask her permission to find a girlfriend?

To be fair, if Yu Yu were to find a boyfriend, he would definitely need to go through Luocheng first!

“I don’t like her!” Yu Yu said directly.

“...”

Whatever Luocheng wanted to say flew out the window, and before he could retaliate, Yang Ying came out from the room, his face black as he beckoned to him.

Luocheng nodded his head, and from the expression on Yang Ying’s face, they had probably lost.

In reality, Luocheng had already predicted the outcome of this match. The difference in both sides was obvious, and if they couldn’t use the first blood advantage to snowball, you could see the tilt within the next fifteen minutes.

Ahri, Lee Sin, and Zac, could easily set the pace of the game that wouldn’t give Ryze and Caitlin any chance to farm and build items.

“The president is calling for me, I have to go.” Luocheng said.

“Hmph, I don’t want to call you again.” Yu Yu snapped out, ending the call unhappily.

To be honest, it was harder to deal with his sister than his girlfriend, she really had an unstable attitude.

If she wanted to be angry, let her be angry.

Luocheng didn’t pay much mind to it and he walked back into the club room.

What surprised him was that the match was already over!

The students from both sides were in their own groups, seemingly talking about strategies. He was on call with Yu Yu for only about twenty minutes, that meant that the match had only been about twenty six minutes. Presumably they had gone all in and demolished the lane, and Shanghai University hadn’t had any hope of a comeback. In order to not bring down the morale further, they had probably also surrendered.

***

Luocheng walked toward his own team. Jian Feng and Xiao Jia glanced at him, disapproval clearly on their faces.

“While we were playing, where did you run off to?” Xiao Jia as the vice president said coldly, glaring at Luocheng.

“Even though it wasn’t a match that you were playing, you should have watched the entire thing. This way, you would have some inkling on their strengths, only then would you know how to counter them. Going missing in that last twenty minutes was just not appropriate.” Lecturer Fang was also unhappy with Luocheng.

“Or did you think that you’re so great, that you have no need to watch the match. I lost this round and the next round will be you. I gave you a chance to scout the opponent but you ran off to take a call, not to mention spending such a long time talking?” Jian Feng glared at him.

“Freshies will be freshies, they just don’t follow the rules. Forget it, I’ll take the next round. If we were to lose two rounds, then we really have no face already.” Qin Ting said.

Losing a match, of course nobody was happy and Luocheng could understand that very well. Only, why the f*ck did they push all the blame to him?

It wasn’t even him that had lost the game!

This got Luocheng increasingly annoyed.

What newbie!

Did being a freshie mean you were a noob?

That thing called Jian Feng, your chicken-ass techniques were not worth watching, even my grandmother could play better than you!

“Yeah, there’s no need for him to play, he’s so undisciplined. Imagine if he were to play in competitions, for sure he will also...” Xiao Jia was just about to speak his mind.

Luocheng who was already extremely annoyed cut him off and said, “Stop your yapping, all I need to do is win, right.”

Xiao Jia’s mouth was still open, and he didn’t have any retort to Luocheng’s words. All the other members were also staring at Luocheng in shock.

This new student really didn’t value his life, he even dared to go against the vice president!
