nInside Jianghai 4AM Club’s training room.

nGodV crossed his arms as he lowered his head, staring at his phone beside the keyboard.

nLong Shengjue looked at him as he asked, “So you’ve decided to choose him?”

n“I can’t think of anyone more suitable than him.”

nGodV turned his head around to look at Long Shengjue after he finished speaking. He pondered for some time before he continued, “You’ve seen it with your own eyes. His marksmanship, reaction speed, and intuition are extraordinary. He’s creative and can always make a comeback despite being in a disadvantageous situation.”

nGodV paused for a while before saying, “There’s no question about Lily’s marksmanship as a sniper. But you know well that PlayerUnknown’s Battleground is unlike other FPS games. What our squad needs is more than a sniper.

n“What’s more intriguing is that I can’t seem to grasp his true strength.”

nGodV’s expression looked rather complex as he spoke.

nLong Shengjue recalled scenes of the match as he listened to GodV. He came to the realization that it was indeed what GodV had mentioned.

nLong Shengjue took a deep breath before he asked, “What did he say? If I’m not mistaken he’s still a student.”

n“He hasn’t replied me yet.” GodV stared at his phone quietly. “But I’ve made it clear that our squad will compete in online competitions most of the time and there won’t be much conflict with his school.”

nLong Shengjue nodded as he listened. “I guess all that’s left is that he feels your sincerity and will consider our offer.”

n…

nInside a residential building in Jianghai.

n‘Friend, are you interested in playing in the pro leagues?’

nLiu Zilang was surprised as he sat in front of his computer, reading GodV’s message which came together with a voice message as well.

nIf GodV were to ask him this question a week earlier.

n“Do you want to have a career in an FPS game?”

nLiu Zilang would have rejected him without any hesitation.

nThat was because he had yet to come in touch with the game PlayerUnknown’s Battleground.

nHowever, it was different now. Although he had not been playing the game for long, Liu Zilang truly felt the game’s charm.

nThe detailed graphics.

nThe rich and versatile gameplay.

nThe thrilling battles in it were extremely nostalgic to him as they made his blood pump with excitement!

nHence, Liu Zilang had started to unconsciously yearn for something.

nHe was looking forward to fighting against stronger players!

nHe was looking forward to conversing with the best players!

nGodV’s offer and consideration toward Liu Zilang who was a student had indeed tempted the latter.

nLiu Zilang was never a person who would beat around the bush when it came to such matters.

nHe already knew what he wanted and GodV’s terms were aligned with him.

nHence, Liu Zilang took out his phone and replied.

n“Sure, I’ll give it a try.”

nAs Liu Zilang placed his phone down, he recalled GodV mentioning about Douyu’s PUBG Golden Legend’s Grand Final where the top 24 squads would compete with each other next Tuesday night. There were a few familiar squads and people that he knew.

nLiu Zilang’s smile gradually turned strange over time…

n…

nLiu Zilang played a few games with Chen Yifa and Zhang Xiaotong that night. During that time, he did something unbelievable in his stream when countless players requested him to reveal his face.

nHe ended the stream and went offline!

nEveryone raged while Liu Zilang laughed in front of his computer.

nIn the midst of everything, he vaguely recalled that there was something happening that day…

nLiu Zilang rolled around on his bed before he opened his eyes as he realised.

n‘That’s right, Today is Zhang Xiaotong’s sports day!”

nHe was the one who said that he wanted to see her compete.

nLiu ZIlang immediately got up at that thought.

nHe noticed the house was quiet when he entered the living room. Naturally, Zhang Xiaotong had already left.

nLiu Zilang was flustered.

nIt was obvious that this girl wanted him to see her compete and yet she did not remind him before she left. What if he had overslept?

nShe was way too prideful.

nShe needed to be taught a lesson.

n…

nLiu Zilang took a quick shower and went out only to come back again to comb his hair and change his clothes before he went out for real.

nAfter all, he was going to the competition to support Zhang Xiaotong. If he were to be as casual as he was in the past and embarrass her in front of her friends, she would definitely hate him for it.

n…

nLiu Zilang got hold of a taxi as he daydreamed about the days when he was still in primary school. His primary school was located in the central of Jianghai University.

nAs Liu Zilang revealed the name of the school to the driver, the latter said cheerfully, “Hey youngster, you look like you’re in primary three. My daughter is studying there as well and I heard that Sport’s Day is today. I’m too busy to head over there so her mother is attending instead. Are you participating in any sports?”

nLiu Zilang’s lips twitched as he raised his head and stared into the rear mirror.

nHe rubbed his chin as he hid his happiness. He had dressed himself up a little bit.

nThat was enough to make him look as young as a primary three student?

nThis driver had quite…

nGood eyes!

nLiu Zilang smiled as he nodded obediently, enquiring about the driver’s daughter.

nAs the driver exchanged a few words with Liu Zilang, he might have realized that Liu Zilang was not such a good person. He then became cautious of his words and refused to reveal anything about his daughter.

nLiu Zilang’s eye started twitching as he realized what was going on…

n…

nLiu Zilang paid for his ride as the taxi stopped near the entrance of Jianghai University.

nFrom the side of the street, Liu Zilang stared at the taxi as it left. He wished with all his heart that the driver’s daughter would not marry before thirty.

nLiu Zilang then turned around and stared at the school that welcomed him with seven big balloons at the entrance of Jianghai University.

nThere were words written on the balloons.

nCombined together, it read “Jianghai University’s Sports Day”.

nThere were banners everywhere. At a glance, they were from corporations that had worked with the university in the past, wishing them a successful and fulfilling Sports Day.

nThe university welcomed everyone with open arms as it was Sports Day and a weekend as well. Hence, many parents had parked their cars outside the entrance as they had come to see their children compete in the festival.

nLiu Zilang stood at the entrance for some time. As he was about to step into the school, he vaguely heard someone scream from behind him.

n“Langzi!

n“Langzei!”

nLiu Zilang turned around and saw a black mini van parked by the roadside.

nHe knew who had called him from behind the moment he heard the word Langzei.

nOther than Li Muqiu,

nNo one else called him that.

nLiu Zilang recalled what had happened in the past as he heard Li Muqiu’s voice…

nLiu Zilang clenched his fist as he put on a smile on his face and walked over to Li Muqiu.

nLi Muqiu seemed to be very excited as he saw Liu Zilang. He waved excitedly in the car, completely oblivious to his impending doom…

n…
