I Heard  that You are Dissatisfied (e-Sport)

Chapter 6 - The World is Sinister

If it weren't for the fact that there was really no room for a person to fit under Lu Lian's computer desk, then Hua Zhiheng would have laughed so hard that he would have rolled under the desk.

Hua Zhiheng wiped away tears from his laughter, and said, "This kid has too much imagination, but I'm really curious, how do you plan to convince him?"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Lian earnestly replies, "With sincerity?"

Hua Zhiheng: "???"

If you had said you'd convince him with money, I would've believed it. What do you mean by convincing him with sincerity?

Lu Lian continues to type a message to Lin Ao but realizes that the messages can't be sent.

He's been blocked by Lin Ao.

Lu Lian, realizing this: "..."

Hua Zhiheng, seeing his reaction, bursts into laughter, showing a look of schadenfreude.

Although Lu Lian is younger than him, he has always been more mature and reliable, always strategizing and remaining composed. He doesn't have any of the qualities that a young person should.

Lu Lian was frowning at the blacklist, when suddenly his cell phone rang, it was news from the family group, he just remembered that the culprit who caused him to be chased and beaten by Lin Ao had not yet been dealt with.

So Lu Lian dialed his cousin's phone number, and the call was quickly connected there. He first chatted with his cousin for a few words, and then asked concerned: "Has Ding Ding still played games recently?"

Ding Ding is Lu Lian's cousin and a child with severe Internet addiction.

The cousin happily said that her son has been very good recently and has stopped playing games at all. Not only did he not play, he didn't even mention it.

Lu Lian 's lips curled slightly, seeing through his cousin's tricks. He sincerely advised his cousin, "To reward my obedient nephew, why not give him something he likes as a gift, such as an experience at the winter vacation esports training camp?"

After the call with his cousin, Hua Zhiheng, who was nearby, showed a face full of shock.

The cousin also understood that educating children shouldn't rely solely on pressure, and it's good to let them relax during holidays. She immediately agreed and said she would follow Lu Lian's arrangements.

After the call ended, Hua Zhiheng asked, "What grudge do you have to send your cousin's nephew to the training camp?" The outside world always imagines a professional career in esports to be great, but in reality, the path is filled with hardships and challenges. Not to mention the ten hours of daily training and analysis, the continuous cycles of training and analysis that completely test a person's willpower and endurance.

As for the training and competition pressure at the youth training camp, it's even more daunting. Every year, many naive individuals want to experience and try it out, but most of them end up leaving in tears. Some are crying because they were crushed by the skilled players, while others cry because of the grueling training.

Hence, Hua Zhiheng believed that Lu Lian and his cousin's nephew must have some grudges.

Just as Lu Lian clearly arranged for his cousin's nephew, the nephew sent a grateful message on WeChat. In just a few words, Lu Lian managed to coax him into admitting that he had stolen Lu Lian's game account.

It seemed like the winter vacation gift was the right choice.

Lu Lian smiled and took it a step further, saying that his nephew could choose which team he wanted to experience.

The cousin and nephew was ecstatic and flooded the chat with gratitude, calling Lu Lian the best uncle.

Hua Zhiheng, looking at the excitement on the other end of the WeChat conversation, thought to himself that the child was completely unaware of how terrifying the youth training camp could be. He muttered, "Are you the devil?"

Lu Lian replied nonchalantly, "It's time for him to understand the cruelty of the world."

Hua Zhiheng continued with a smile, "I think the cruelest person in this world is you. But now, you've met your nemesis!" He then excused himself, saying he would go back to check on other team members. "Come on, impress him with your sincerity."

Hua Zhiheng, who used to be a veteran player in the FLY team, is now 27 years old. He spent a decade on the gaming stage, playing as support, then switching to shooter, and later moving to top lane. He climbed up step by step, from being a substitute to becoming a starter in the second team and then the first team. When he was about to retire, he took up the position of a coach and mentor for the new players in the FLY team.

This extensive experience was precisely why Lu Lian valued him and invited him to be a coach in his new team.

After Hua Zhiheng left, Lu Lian noticed that he was no longer blocked by Lin Ao. lion180 is in the friend list again. It seemed that Lin Ao had removed him from the blacklist.

Lu Lian raised an eyebrow, finding it somewhat amusing. He saw that Lin Ao had entered the custom mode, where players could buy any equipment, use any hero, and experiment with various skill and item combinations. It is a training mode in which equipment can be bought at will, heroes can be used at will, and various skills and props can be used at will.

Lin Ao was seen doing various random things in the game, like aimlessly farming minions and poking monsters with basic weapons. Lin Ao was bored fighting soldiers for a while, and used basic weapons to poke wild monsters one after another. After he played the whole map, he started to foolishly circle around the big yellow chicken.

The chicken was fluffy and had a faint golden glow, looking adorable with its naive and cute expressions.

Everyone had once fought for something they thought was the best, like the title of "World Number One."

But Lin Ao was different; he was content with the simple goal of completing Wizard's challenge. When he finally obtained this chicken, which was named "001," it became the best reward he had received while playing games. Lin Ao remained humble, attributing his achievement not to his own skills but to Wizard's greatness. As such, he saw the chicken as Wizard's, and he was merely its temporary caretaker.

However, as the adoptive father of the big yellow chicken, he couldn't even deal with a fake claiming to be its real father! The thought of this made Lin Ao more and more frustrated.

Seeing Lin Ao play with the transportation chicken on the stream, viewers were puzzled by his behavior. Some thought he was showing off the chicken's skin, while others wondered if something was wrong with him.

       [What are you doing? Are you showing off his chicken skin?]

       [It's not like, why do I feel that the silly son seems to be autistic]

       [Don't be like this, qaq feels distressed, it's not that you lost the game, it's just a draw, it's okay]

       [Actually, in terms of head count, Aoao won]

Even sunspots (referring to viewers who enjoyed trolling and insulting streamers) who came to inspect could not help but care about Lin Ao. They found it odd to see him in such a state before a match.

       [Why is this idiot host so listless today? There is a game tonight, I originally wanted to come in and listen to him scolding, so I could scold him, but I just came in and watched him circle around a silly chicken for a few minutes]

       [What is this careless anchor doing? He won't be really sad]

       [He lost the game before, even when he was scolded by so many people, wouldn't he be like this? ]

As they spoke, a few sunspots tentatively threw some presents to test out Lin Ao's movements.

Lin Ao remained indifferent.

But another wave of sunspots got wind of it.

       [Sure enough, it’s good to have a good face. If you lose, you will be coaxed by a group of people and make a lot of money.]

       [Staying in the game area is really wrong for him]

Suddenly, Lin Ao reacted.

He raised his eyes, glanced at the barrage, and then taunted: "I can mix in the game area and the appearance area, how about you? I have wronged the ghost animal area by sending you there, and the garbage downstairs in your house, the barrel can take you, but it’s still a harmful garbage.”

       [Baby, you are finally alive! ! Ma Ma is at ease!]

       [Come on! Son, this is what a man should do! Cheer up! ]

       [Brother is energetic again! happy! ]

       [Smelly brother, you really scared me to death just now]

After Lin Ao finished cursing, he felt a little better, and said, "Let's do this for today, the broadcast will be down."

Before everyone could react, the screen went black.

　     [What? ? ? ]

       [So early? ? ? ]

Although Lin Ao started the live broadcast, he still hasn't played the game yet. Instead, he sent the counterfeit "wait for me” before going offline.

　     Lin Ao went to bed early for the first time after.

Lin Ao lives in an old house from the 1990s, and the walls are already mottled, falling off in pieces.

With his current economic conditions, he can actually change to a bigger and better house.

Glasses also persuaded him several times, but he never thought of moving.

Since Lin Ao logout it early, it was very abnormal, Glasses was worried then sent sent a WeChat message.

       Glasses: You logged out so early? Your sister-in-law is very worried about you and asked you to come out for supper, will you come?

       Lin Ao: No need, I'm going to sleep.

       Glasses:……

       Glasses: When have you ever slept through the night.

       Lin Ao: ...

Every time he went to bed, it was almost morning, so he was a little speechless when Glasses mentioned it.

       Lin Ao: I'm really sleeping, thanks sister-in-law for me.

Lin Ao's sister-in-law is the sister brought by the boss who scolded him before. Coincidentally, that girl is a game anchor, and the grand occasion of him scolding the boss happened to be broadcast simultaneously by the girl, which helped him accumulate his first popularity resources virtually.

Later, the anchor girl often played with Lin Ao and Glasses. She also asked Lin Ao why he didn't do live broadcasts because his skills were so good.

Lin Ao scratched his head depressedly, and said angrily, "Underage."

After a second of silence in the live broadcast room, the anchor sister exploded with [Hahaha].

       [Squat and wait for a minor to live broadcast].

After Lin Ao became an adult, with the help of his well-known and well-connected Glasses and the anchor sister, his live broadcast room opened smoothly.

Glasses also often communicated with the anchor sister about Lin Ao's live broadcast room business, and fell in love with each other for a long time, and the two became together.

So far, Lin Ao's teammates in games are only glasses and the anchor girl.

If they don't play, Lin Ao will always be in solo queue.

Not only the game, but most of Lin Ao's life time is actually alone.

At night, Lin Ao had many dreams, and those dreams were very fragmented and chaotic.

The noisy voices, the swaying black shadows and the expressionless faces intertwined together made him very suffocated.

Suddenly, in this mess, a big yellow chicken ran from a distance.

The yellow chicken was about as tall as a floor, and he needed to raise his neck to see the people above.

The wizard is against the light, and his appearance is hidden in the light and shadow.

When he stretched his neck, trying to get a better look, Lin Ao tried to get a closer look, but then he woke up.

As he lay on the bed, gazing at the ceiling for a while, he rubbed his face and glanced at the time on his phone. It was 9:01 AM. He couldn't believe he woke up so early.

Ever since becoming a streamer, Lin Ao hardly ever saw the morning sun. He retreated under the covers, contemplating whether to go back to sleep for a while.

But before he could doze off, a message notification appeared from his glasses-wearing friend.

       Glasses: The boss asked me to forward it to you. I sent it to your email. Remember to check it.

       Lin Ao:?

       Lin Ao: Who?

       Glasses: The boss who was pigeonholed by you.

Lin Ao remembered that generous boss.

He felt a little guilty, so he opened the mailbox.

The title of the email is: "Carry, Guaranteed Fun."

These words were what Lin Ao said when he received the job.

Lin Ao didn't know what to say, is the boss two hundred and five? Why use what he said as a title.

He looked at the file again, it was a video, it was several hundred MB, and it was quite large.

Lin Ao patiently downloaded the video in the spirit of a little guilt.

He opened it and found his game video inside.

The boss analyzed his strengths and weaknesses in several games, from laning to team battles, from fighting wild monsters to fighting enemies.

Every skill and every move of his has been dismantled and analyzed thoroughly.

Very sincere and moving.

There is one sentence at the end of the video.

　　   Sincerely welcome you to join my team - Lu Lian.

Of course, inviting without offering any salary is just being a rogue, so Lu Lian left his contact information and the details of the team's treatment to discuss.

       Lin Ao: '...'

So the boss is the fake, and the fake is the boss? The guilt from earlier was completely gone. Not only that, this fake boss is even giving him guidance on how to play the game? Lin Ao was so angry that smoke seemed to come out of his seven apertures. Now he wanted to get up and take down the fake boss in the game again solo!

Lu Lian, right!

This time, I must crush you!
