Chapter 2

......

Putting down his schoolbag, Yu Luosheng leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and seemed a bit drowsy. There were still a few minutes before morning reading.

There's no way, having to study and play ranked games, how can there be enough sleep?

"Damn it, I actually lost to those damn guys from Class 3 last night!" A rough and unrestrained voice came from behind Yu Luosheng.

This voice was very familiar; it was his deskmate Wang Qin, whose game ID was "Beast." He was deeply engrossed in League of Legends (LOL) and claimed to be the best mid-laner at Shuilan High School. The classmates who played LOL all looked up to him.

"Zhao Kesong, why are you so timid as a top laner? Just go in and cut down their backline. If you keep being so timid, you might as well be called Zhao Kesong!" Wang Qin started cursing.

Playing competitive games is like playing basketball; if one of the five players is like a pig, you basically lose.

"Boss, you didn't see the top laner on the other side. He's level 27, and I'm just level 20. How can you expect me to fight him?" Zhao Kesong explained, feeling wronged.

"Why did you give up the first blood so quickly? Didn't you know they were ambushing in the brush?" Wang Qin scolded.

Zhao Kesong was a timid and fearful person, and playing a top laner, which often requires a tough approach, wasn't really suitable for him.

"And you guys in the bottom lane, what were you doing? You died three times in ten minutes!" Wang Qin shifted his focus to the two boys next to him.

"Can you blame me? Sun Yang, every time he uses the robot to catch someone, I die as soon as the fight starts." A handsome boy named Zhong Xiaoyun explained.

"I don't know what happened yesterday. I always caught the enemy with my grappling hook, but every time we fought, we both died." Sun Yang, who was a bit frustrated, said.

Sun Yang liked to use the robot, and it was said that he could often carry the game (carrying the game means dominating the field).

But he lost yesterday.

Yu Luosheng was still lying on the table, listening to the group behind him discussing yesterday's defeat.

Yu Luosheng also liked to use the "Steam Robot Blitzcrank." He could be 100% sure that Sun Yang had definitely caught the enemy's support heroes like "Gem Knight," "Braum," or "Dawn Goddess" yesterday. These heroes are tough and have a lot of health.

Using the Steam Robot's skill—Machine Grappler—to catch people is good, but catching these heroes is like sending your teammates to their deaths. It's like a fierce wolf that is far away from your teammate, but the robot brings the wolf over, killing your fragile teammate.

This is something you need to be aware of when playing a support robot at around level 30. Sun Yang's robot Blitzcrank wasn't quite there yet.

Of course, sometimes you can catch these hard control heroes, but that's a more advanced playstyle.

Yu Luosheng didn't tell Sun Yang why the bottom lane was crushed. Their "elementary school" level battles didn't even catch the eye of this great god.

"I've made a bet with those guys from Class 3 for next Saturday. I've put all my living expenses for this month on the line." Wang Qin said.

"Wang Boss, don't be so impulsive. We can't beat them." Zhao Kesong said.

"Who said that?!" Wang Qin's eyebrows shot up, and Zhao Kesong immediately shut up.

Hearing Wang Qin's words, Yu Luosheng finally opened his eyes, looking at Wang Qin with sleepy eyes. "You don't want to live this month, putting all your living expenses on the line."

Putting money on the line means it's for real.

Seeing his half-dead deskmate finally speak, Wang Qin quickly leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Yang Qianqian is also playing. She's looking for someone to carry her. I'm competing with Lin Xu from Class 3. I didn't expect to lose yesterday, and Yang Qianqian was there watching. I couldn't even lift my head. You think I don't want to save face? Damn, it's all because these guys aren't up to the task."

"Yang Qianqian, oh, the long-legged class flower from Class 4?" Yu Luosheng remembered this beauty. The guys around him always drooled when they saw her.

Speaking of which, the girl was indeed very attractive, especially her long, shapely legs. When she walked, her hips swayed, and her small butt was so bouncy that even the loose school uniform couldn't hide her sexy allure!

"Yu Luosheng, you play too, right? It doesn't matter if your skills aren't great. You don't have to play, just come and support us next Saturday!" Wang Qin said.

"Forget it, I have something to do. You guys play." Yu Luosheng shook his head.

What a joke, I have 1900 points in ranked games, and I'm going to watch you kids play 5v5? I'd rather help my partner reach 2000 points. The weekends of high school seniors are very precious!

Do you know what 1900 points in ranked games mean?

It means that if Yu Luosheng were Sun Wukong, Wang Qin and his group would be the little demons under the Bull Demon King, not even in the same league!

......

Do you love studying?

Do you dare say you love the strange language of classical Chinese, or that you like the annoying accent of English, or that you like the symbols in math that drive you crazy?

If you really dare say you love studying, what else can I say about your hypocrisy?

Yu Luosheng hated these things, but he knew he had no choice. For his parents and his uncertain future, he had to listen to every class seriously and take notes diligently, from Monday to Saturday...

In this numbness, a week passed by unnoticed. After the last class on Saturday, the homeroom teacher didn't forget to walk to the podium and point to the words "120 days until the college entrance exam" written in bold on the blackboard, sounding the alarm, making it feel like a funeral.

However, the moment the bell rang, the students' bright eyes betrayed their excitement.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go eat. We'll go to the internet cafe tonight to practice and plan our strategy!" Wang Qin shouted to his teammates.

"Wang Qin, are you really betting money with those guys from Class 3?" Yu Luosheng asked casually as he packed up his things.

"Of course! I can lose money, but not face. I've already told Yang Qianqian." Wang Qin said seriously.

"Alright, good luck." Yu Luosheng knew that once Wang Qin got serious, he was like a bull that sees a red undergarment, impossible to stop.

"Are you really not coming to cheer us on?" Wang Qin said.

"I have something to do on Saturday night. If I have time, I'll come and check it out. Is it at Longsheng Internet Cafe?" Yu Luosheng asked.

"Hehe, it would be great if you could come. Watch me crush them!" Wang Qin said proudly.

With that, Wang Qin invited Zhao Kesong, Zhong Xiaoyun, and Sun Yang to go eat outside the school. After dinner, they would probably form the legendary invincible formation—five people sitting together at the internet cafe—never winning!
