The Wandering Poet was an unemployed support player, and when he received an invitation from the new team, he immediately expressed his gratitude.

 

Wandering Poet: So, you are the team's boss?

 

Wandering Poet: Woohoo, I knew it! Gold will always shine!

 

Wandering Poet: I don't need to look for jobs everywhere anymore!

 

Wandering Poet: Zhou Zhou, tut, woo woo woo, I can finally get paid, live a happy life, and play games happily.

 

Zhou Cheng was the real name of the wandering ADC, and the Wandering Poet always affectionately called him Zhou Zhou.

 

Wandering Poet: Zhou Zhou, let's play competitively together tut.

 

"..." Lin Ao originally thought that Lu Lian was already very casual, but he found that there were others who were more casual than him.

 

Compared with the excitement of the wandering poet, the wandering adc is much more stable.

 

Wandering ADC: Let's play one match.

 

Test Account 123: Alright.

 

After that, Lu Lian handed the team captain role to Lin Ao and left the team.

 

While Lin Ao was still bewildered, he received applications from Bai Changshan and Lu Yu to join the team, and he agreed.

 

At this point, all five positions were filled.

 

Lu Lian messaged Lin Ao: You guys play, I will start the spectator mode.

 

Lu Lian: Test your progress over these few days of training.

 

The word "test" would usually irritate Lin Ao, but now it made him feel somewhat expectant and excited.

 

Lin Ao: Watch as much as you like.

 

The game started, and Lin Ao's mid-lane style was still very "Lin Ao." He was highly aggressive, but now he no longer blindly pushed the lane and the towers. When the enemy mid-lane disappeared, he would signal his teammates with a "miss" warning on the map.

 

He knew that if he couldn't compete with the enemy mid-lane on the lane, they would most likely roam to other lanes to find an advantage.

 

Sure enough, just after Lin Ao sent the signal, the enemy mid-lane appeared in the bottom half of the jungle, clearly planning to gank the bottom lane.

 

However, what the enemy mid-laner didn't expect was that even though he specifically avoided common warding spots and took a deep route through the jungle, the Wandering Poet’s ward was precisely placed there. He spotted the enemy mid-laner's movement.

 

In voice chat, the bottom lane duo communicated.

 

Wandering Poet: "Should we go?"

 

Wandering ADC: "We can handle it."

 

Subsequently, the bottom lane duo pretended not to notice the enemy mid-laner's presence and continued farming.

 

Lin Ao, on the other hand, returned to base to buy items and restore his health. Just as the enemy mid-laner was about to arrive at the battlefield, Lin Ao said, "Ward here."

 

As an experienced support, the Wandering Poet noticed that both the top and mid-laners on their team brought Teleport. From the beginning of the game, he decided to leave a ward in the jungle for timely Teleport plays, and that's why he placed a ward in the brush as Lin Ao had asked.

 

The enemy mid-laner attempted a three-man gank, but they were suddenly confronted by Lin Ao and the top-laner Lu Yu, making them stunned.

 

What was initially a 3v2 situation now turned into a 4v3.

 

At just fifteen minutes into the game, the enemy team surrendered.

 

This kind of game with random players couldn't truly demonstrate each person's real skill level. After all, even if they encountered a skilled player among the random players, it would still be challenging to compare them to well-trained professional players.

 

However, Lu Lian still saw Lin Ao's and Bai Changshan's and Lu Yu's improvements, especially Lin Ao.

 

Lu Lian made a mental note that Lin Ao signaled four times in that game and actively participated in three team fights. Although he hadn't achieved perfection yet, he was indeed changing.

 

Lu Lian smiled. This was the most crucial part of today's game.

 

After the match, Bai Changshan and Lu Yu took the initiative to leave the team, leaving the spot for Lu Lian. However, they still curiously gathered around Lin Ao to watch the conversation between the boss and their new teammate.

 

Test Account 123: How do you feel?

 

Wandering ADC: Let's talk in detail.

 

Wandering ADC: Where can we meet?

 

Test Account 123: Dragon City.

 

Wandering ADC: I'm from Dragon City, so I can come over anytime.

 

Wandering Poet: Super awesome, super nice!

 

Wandering Poet: I can't wait to meet you guys! My new teammates! >v<!

 

Wandering Poet: I'm currently in Kuala Lumpur, but I can buy a ticket back immediately.

 

Wandering ADC: Idiot.

 

Wandering Poet: Please don't, tut, sob.

 

Lu Lian was generous, agreeing to reimburse the Wandering Poet for his ticket and even suggesting that he buy a first-class ticket for a comfortable journey back.

 

Lin Ao was curious as to why the Wandering Poet had ended up in such a miserable situation.

 

Wandering Poet: Boss! You're so kind. From now on, I'll be your man in life and your ghost in death!

 

lion180: What do I need your ghost for? Singing and dancing would be bad luck.

 

Wandering Poet: Tat.

 

A few days later, the Wandering Poet arrived in Dragon City and came together with the wandering ADC.

 

When Lin Ao opened the door, he saw a tall Chinese guy and a slightly shorter foreigner standing outside.

 

Upon seeing Lin Ao, the foreigner's eyes lit up.

 

"Oh my God, there's someone even shorter than me!"

 

The foreigner seemed to have discovered a new world and excitedly tugged on the sleeve of the guy next to him, saying, "Zhou Zhou, this team is amazing!"

 

"Bang!"

 

The villa door was mercilessly shut by Lin Ao.

 

Zhou Cheng rolled his eyes and said to the foreigner, "Are you an idiot?"

 

The foreigner, whose name was Siri, was, in fact, the support Wandering Poet. He sheepishly rubbed his nose.

 

At this moment, the villa door opened again.

 

With a cool and cocky expression, Lin Ao said unhappily, "Come in."

 

In the living room of the villa, Lin Ao leaned against the wall, observing the foreigner, Zhou Cheng, Bai Changshan, and Lu Yu, who had just come out of the training room.

 

He suddenly realized that he was the shortest person in the team.

 

Why? It was fine if Lu Lian was tall, but why were the others so tall?

 

Of course, the silver lining was that he was not that much shorter than the foreigner. It was still acceptable.

 

Once everyone was present, Hu Zhiheng, as usual, gave some opening remarks before allowing everyone to chat freely.

 

However, since it was their first meeting, they were a bit awkward in person. Even Bai Changshan and Siri, who were the most talkative online, didn't say a word.

 

Lin Ao said, "Since there's nothing to talk about, let's stop talking nonsense and start with the game."

 

This suggestion was the most relaxing and enjoyable for esports players.

 

In no time, the five of them formed a team and played a fiery game in the virtual world.

 

Lin Ao took advantage of the hero selection time to place an order for two boxes of milk on Taobao. Since he chose same-city express delivery, the milk arrived in the afternoon. When Lin Ao went out to pick up the delivery, he coincidentally encountered Lu Lian carrying two boxes of milk. They both seemed a bit surprised upon seeing each other.

 

When Lu Lian saw him, he was also slightly taken aback, then looked at the courier slip attached to the milk carton in his hand, then looked at Lin Ao, standing at the bottom of the steps. He raised his head and smiled lightly at Lin Ao then said, "the tall and mighty team captain?"

 

Lu Lian had thought that the recipient's name was randomly chosen by someone else in the team, but it turned out Lin Ao had actually chosen it.

 

The most embarrassing thing is not only the recipient's name, but also the big "Nutrition Milk for Children's Growth" written on the milk box. Initially, Lin Ao had refused to buy such milk, but the comments said that this milk can supplement calcium and increase the height. So he gritted his teeth and bought it.

 

Startled, Lin Ao felt like digging a hole and hiding in it.

 

He quickly grabbed the milk from Lu Lian's hands, turned around, and hurriedly disappeared into the villa's entrance.

 

Lin Ao hugged the milk and rushed into his room, hiding the milk under the bed before finally relaxing.

 

But he still felt uneasy and after thinking about it, so he dismantled the milk carton, threw it away, and put the milk in a cardboard box without a pattern.

 

After the busy work, Lin Ao, who was sweating profusely, felt a bit out of his body.

 

He stared at the hidden milk and suddenly questioned himself. Why did he hide it? It was something he had bought with his own money, so what was the big deal?

 

As a man, there was nothing wrong with drinking milk!

 

Despite his self-encouragement, Lin Ao remained unconvinced and still pushed the milk boxes under the bed.

 

After going back and forth, spending more than ten minutes, he finally came downstairs.

 

The training room was lively, with Lu Lian playing against Zhou Cheng in a solo match.
