Chapter 825: Spaceship

The team game room on the second floor of the VIP building will make you feel amazed no matter how many times you’ve been there.

It was even more luxurious than the most luxurious internet cafe in Dong Shan City. The decorations made the room feel futuristic and the main colors were silver and blue. Some people might even believe it if you tell them it was the interior of a spaceship.

There were two rows of five consecutive seats located in the center of the room. All of them had leather seats and high-quality computers, which were prepared for the first and second teams. The other seats for training partners were spread out along the edges of the room, but they had around the same quality of equipment.

There was a huge plasma display screen hanging on the south wall of the room, which was used for the team to watch gameplay videos, to study the opponent’s playing style, and to find out their own problems.

The reason why they didn’t use a LCD screen, but the more expensive plasma screen, was to avoid having a slow screen response time. It becomes more obvious when watching replays of gaming videos, plus it’s not like Ai Mi lacks money.

Approximately 30 centimeters above the plasma screen was a round logo integrated into the wall. It was the logo of the “Golden Lightning” team and it was composed of two lightning beams. At first glance, it looks like the German SS bolts symbol, which is very consistent of what losers find cool, but the two lightning bolts actually represent Ai Mi’s twin ponytails.

In other words, the entire “Golden Lightning” team wasn’t there to win the game in a cool way, it was there to let Ai Mi relax and assist her in abusing noobs.

I don’t know if Ai Mi knew the meaning of “sitting in the north and facing the south”, but her seat was located in the northernmost part of the activity room. It was also situated in a position where she could see everyone else and it was at a higher position than everyone else.

It was, metaphorically speaking, a throne.

Ai Mi had the same imposing atmosphere as Arthas: Rise of the Lich King… well, at least she tried to mimic it, but her posture wasn’t as serious as Arthas. At one moment, she would sit crooked, at another moment, she would put her feet on the computer desk, a moment later, she would sit at a different angle again…

Maybe she felt she didn’t look serious enough and she couldn’t be seen by her “subjects”, so Ai Mi shrouded a layer of magic glass around her throne, forming a honeycomb lattice-like “throne room”. It was similar to the size of an average duty-room, but the luxurious furnishings inside were of course incomparable. In addition, because of the magic glass, Ai Mi can monitor the outside world at any time, but people outside couldn’t see inside, they can only see a mirror.

As Ai Mi and I walked into the room, she immediately put on airs in front of the team members. She puffed her chest out and held her head up high as if it was going increase her height from 1.4m to 1.6m. She didn’t say anything to me before rushing straight into the “throne room”.

After pressing the fingerprint scanner and passing the iris scanning, the silver alloy door of the throne room slid open and Ai Mi proudly entered alone.

To be honest, it did look very futuristic. The throne room Ai Mi entered was like the control center of a spaceship, while the other members of the team sat on the outside seats like they were operating different components of the spaceship.

However, it was only similar in appearance. If there was really a spaceship named “Space Battleship Ai Mi” and Ai Mi was the captain, then it would be a nightmare for the crew members.

How can you let a bad-tempered loli with twintails be the captain on a deep and dangerous space exploration mission? A lolicon might think it’s a good idea, but if Ai Mi had the power to command a space battleship, she will absolutely cause trouble all over the place. Sooner or later, she would become the common enemy of the space pirates and the interplanetary federation, and all the crew members will have to face the consequences of her actions.

So that’s why Ai Mi can’t leave me! When the time comes, I’ll be her vice captain. I might as well make Ai Mi the figurehead captain, but I’ll be the one giving all the important orders.

“Eunuch Cao, how are the negotiations going with the pirates? If they aren’t willing to sell that batch of smuggled spices at a reduced price, then let them hold onto it.”

“Xing Xing, continue to inspect the pipeline area with the Five Tigers to see if there are still any Xenomorph eggs left over from last time… be careful of Facehuggers.”

“Xiao Qin, Winnie, did you guys make any new discoveries when testing the exoskeleton booster system? It doesn’t matter if it’s a strong point or a weak point, you should give feedback to Dr. Yu as soon as possible.”

“Little Smart, go ahead and write a rumor article about the President of the Interstellar Federation having homosexual relationships with the Pirate King, and don’t forget the other duties of the Propaganda Department.”

“Loud Mouth, are you doing okay with the supervision of the cafeteria… can you eat later.”

“Hey, if it isn’t Colonel Shu Sha. Are you satisfied with the performance of our spaceship as a supervisor appointed by the Interstellar Federation? In fact, as long as you promise not to contact headquarters, I’ll release you from the bondage chair right away…”

After a minute of daydreaming, Winnie’s shriek snapped me back to reality.

“Damn, who is this guy, why is there such a strong guy in bronze?”

It looks like Winnie and the others queued up for a warm-up match. They ran into an average team, but one of them with an ID of “Zhe Bie is a SB” did spectacularly. Winnie’s teammates that went against him were all brutally killed.

After the match, the player named “Zhe Bie is a SB” even proudly provoked the opposite side in the chat room:

“You guys might have won, but that’s because my teammates are noobs. I’m carrying them right now, but next time we meet, I’ll kill all of you.”

“Especially Graves, he played really bad. If I were him, I would be too ashamed to keep playing.”

Winnie got angry and began talking back when she saw her teammates being verbally abused.

“Why are you so proud, Graves isn’t my teammate’s specialty. He was just a bit careless, but the next time we meet, will you even have the guts to play the same lane against me?”

“Why not? I can play any position and I can beat each of you with only one hand if we go one vs one.”

“I think you can brag all you want. Are you an elementary school student, have you finished your homework?”

I suspect Winnie hasn’t finished her homework yet.

“So what if I’m an elementary school student, a genius is a genius. I could have beat you guys even when I was in kindergarten. 1V1 me!”

The other party actually admitted his identity as an elementary school student. I heard there were a couple LOL gods in elementary school in Dong Shan City, but not sure if he was one of them.

Winnie was pissed and actually wanted to 1V1 duel him, but Fan Chuan was able to calm her down.

“We’re going to be playing with Miss Ai Mi later, save some energy, there’s no need to lower yourself to the level of an elementary school student.”

As the captain of Golden Lightning’s second team, Fan Chuan was temporarily transferred to the first team today to supplement the lack of members, since even captain Ren Peng wasn’t able to be present.

He said that you shouldn’t lower yourself to the level of an elementary school student, but he was a college graduate. He couldn’t find a serious job after graduating and had to join Ai Mi’s professional LOL team to play against elementary school students, which is quite ironic when you think about it.

Winnie gritted her teeth and held back her anger. She didn’t 1V1 “Zhe Bie is a SB”, but the other party thought that Winnie was afraid, and he escalated his provocations and taunts.

“What, are you afraid because you know you are no match for me?”

“It’s alright, I understand, it’s normal for people who fight me to lose their confidence.”

“This is my alt account, but you guys will be scared to death if I told you my main account.”

“As for my Graves’ skills, people can’t learn it even if they want to. I’ve been hitting streetlights since the first grade, and I’ve been using my slingshot like a pro to aim at the right spot.”

“My vigilance and positioning was also practiced in real life. After I hit the streetlights, the security guards can’t even catch up with me, so how can otaku who don’t even move be my opponent?”

“Pray that you don’t run into me in your next ranked match, peace out.”

Winnie was so angry that she slammed her fists on the table. It was like she wanted to pull him out of the computer to have a real life fight with him, but I felt like “Zhe Bie is a SB” player might have been the one I saw last night.

What a coincidence, maybe the schoolboy who broke the streetlight last night was this LOL bronze master?

How unconventional. Other people practice game sense and positioning in game, but you actually practice in game and in real life! Are you trying to become the number one e-sports player in the future?

In addition to suspecting that this guy was last night’s street lamp destroyer, I was also quite concerned about his ID “Zhe Bie is a SB”.

When Shu Zhe was affiliated with Luo Ning and the others in hiring schoolchildren to steal dogs, he registered his username as ‘Zhe Bie’.

Is it just a coincidence? Maybe the elementary school student named himself “Zhe Bie is a SB”, not because he hates Shu Zhe, but he hates Zhe Bie the archery teacher from the Condor Heroes?

Regardless, the Golden Lightning Team won’t have to deal with this elementary school student for the time being. They reorganized themselves and prepared to fight with Ai Mi which was a test comparable to hell.

At this moment, Peng TouSi brought up dinner and he was followed by Obama with his tongue sticking out. Ai Mi didn’t give the word yet, so the group didn’t know when they were going to start the ranked matches, so they followed suit and ate quite a bit of food.

I had no idea what Ai Mi was doing in the throne room. Probably another 20 minutes had passed from when Peng TouSi gave her dinner before she lazily announced, “Prepare for battle, behave yourselves, and don’t hold me back.”

Ai Mi then asked me to come into the throne room to see how she was able to kill the enemy team by herself.
