Chapter 55

It was easy to guess who that person was; who that person was that Shi Luo didnt even want to mention back then.

Shi Luos really tough. That afternoon, in the lounge, Old Qiao hadnt noticed the slight change in Yu Suis expression after hearing that statement. He sighed, At the time, the match was supposed to start right away. There were four players from the NSN second team and none of them left the lounge. The competition organizers were in a hurry. No matter what the situation, they wanted them to compete first and then discuss the matter later. The three other players on NSNs second team hesitated on whether they should just play the match first. What if the other team hadnt played a fake match just now? What if they were penalized because of this later on

Shi Luo though insisted that there was something wrong with the other team. He couldnt be persuaded by anyone. He sat smoking in the lounge and refused to come out. It was his refusal that created quite the commotion and the secondary league officials launched a thorough investigation regarding the fake matches.

When you pull out carrots, mud goes with it. A bunch of dirty players were suspended from the competition. All three of Xiao Juns teammates were banned for life. Xiao Jun was hit hard at that time and almost got into a fistfight with his former teammates, but fortunately, in the end, he slowly got over it.

His own personal skills are pretty good, only that he was dragged down by his bastard teammates. With his bastard teammates gone, he trained hard and played hard. He played better and better. A year ago, there was a match where his skills shined and all of a sudden, Ten Thousand Mountains senior management took notice of him and had him join their team as a starter. Now Xiao Juns in the first league and Ten Thousand Mountains senior management values him a lot. His teammates here work together with him to play really well. Hes proven the saying that out of extreme adversity comes the beginning of good luck.

Xiao Jun has always been very grateful to Shi Luo but hes never had a chance to cross paths with him. And you know Shi Luo. Its not easy for people to get close to him. So the two of them arent friends, theyre just sort of old acquaintances.

Shi Luo himself doesnt like mentioning these things. But at the time, after he refused to play the match, NSNs executives and Gu Gan were very satisfied when they found out about it. Later, they told me that he had proved himself worthy of being a player from e-sports holy land, Team FS; hes a truly proud and unyielding character.

It still wasnt too late in the evening by the time they finished eating hotpot. The place where they ate hotpot was next to

Hongyadong

. Instead of going back directly to the hotel, they decided to walk around Hongyadong.

Yu Xie walked very slowly. He looked at Shi Luos tall back and recalled what Old Qiao had said. He thought that it had nothing to do with FS.

Although Shi Luo had later mentioned Yu Sui, Yu Sui didnt think it had anything to do with him either.

Shi Luo was born like this.

Yu Sui had just been overly anxious.

With or without him, Shi Luo wouldnt have let himself go, nor would he have given in to despair. He would have grown into an admirable player regardless.

Yu Sui didnt think he deserved any credit for this, because Shi Luos proud and unyielding spirit was something innate to him; he was born with it.

Whats the matter with you? Old Qiao fell back two steps to walk beside Yu Sui. He looked at Yu Suis face. Your face has been looking all blank since we ate. Whats the matter? Are you still thinking about that matter with Shi Luo? Its been so long. Shi Luo himself has probably forgotten about it.

Yu Sui shook his head and put his hands in his pants pockets. No.

But to be honest, there is one thing I havent figured out. Old Qiao said frankly, Who was that person Shi Luo mentioned at the time? He looked at me like I was a stranger. So I just listened to what he said but didnt dare to ask.

Yu Sui slowly turned his head to look at Old Qiao. Through Old Qiaos sincere eyes, he confirmed that he wasnt deliberately pricking his heart for the second time nor was he messing with him. When he really couldnt find anything there, Yu Sui couldnt help laughing out loud.

People belonging to the species known as straight men really were so slow, it was scary.

Yu Sui didnt feel like explaining it to him.

Old Qiao was still out of the loop. He whispered, Right? Arent you curious about who Shi Luo was talking about?

I am curious Yu Sui nodded for a while, trying to keep a straight face and help him with his analysis, First of all, we can eliminate Chen Huo

Team Free was able to nab the win without any problems for their regular season game in Chongqing. With training and their other regular season games waiting, they only stayed in Chongqing for one night. The next morning they hurriedly flew back to Shanghai.

Once they got back to the Free base, everyone washed up and went back to their dorm rooms to rest for a while. After sleeping for less than three hours, they woke up one after the other towards the evening and headed downstairs to eat, preparing for their training that evening.

While everyone was eating dinner, Zhou Huo took the time to say, Theres something I need to discuss with everyone. Dont worry, this wont take up too much of your time.

Everyone was so sleepy that they all just hummed in reply without raising their heads. Zhou Huo chuckled, Its like this, all the other teams have an assessment system. Before, we had just established the team and youre using your recently retrieved accounts so I didnt bring this up before. Its been a few days now, so I think its time that we settled this matter regarding your assessment.

There was nothing wrong with what Zhou Huo was saying. Each team had to assess the record of the players main account every month. Everyone was already accustomed to this and they continued to focus on eating. Puppy nudged Chen Huo, Give me another plate of Siumai.

As you know, I used to be the NSNs deputy manager. NSNs assessment standard is the top 500 in the national server. If they drop out of the top 500, their salary will be deducted; they lose their bonus for that month which is basically a third of their monthly salary. Zhou Huo looked around at everyone and continued, However, this was before they were provoked by the Sacred Sword. After being provoked by Sacred Sword from across the sea, NSN now adjusted their criteria to within the top 200 of the national server. Saint adjusted theirs to within the top 100 in the national server. I originally wanted to draw the line according to Saints standards, but Sacred Sword, those assh*les have been pissing me off these past two days and now Im also a little anxious. I think we should bring our criteria to be in line with international standards, so I wanted to ask

Zhou Huo looked at the three former Sacred Sword players and asked, Up to what rank was the assessment criterion for Sacred Sword?

Yu Sui: 500.

Puppy: 300.

Chen Huo: 200.

The three spoke quickly, each person giving a different number. An awkward silence suddenly descended over their table.

Zhou Huo held back from cursing out these bunch of liars and resigned himself to searching on the internet for Sacred Swords assessment criterion. Coincidentally, a player of the Sacred Swords revealed in an interview a month ago that their assessment criteria was within the top 30 for the European server.

Zhou Huo said bitterly, Did you have to go that far? Did you all have to make up those lies just so I wouldnt find out Sacred Swords assessment criteria? Fine! Well set ours to be the same as Sacred Swords, within the top 30.

Dont, why do we need to compare ourselves with that kind of inhumane club? Chen Huo was eating while also hurriedly selling misery. When I was at Sacred Sword, pouring out my blood, sweat and tears for that capitalist, there was never a month that I was able to get my full salary. Why must I suffer this same injustice now that Ive returned to my motherlands arms? Forgive me if my ranking has dropped but sometimes I run across pig teammates, not to mention that I sometimes have to help out others by teamin
