Mo Huaifeng’s expression also turned cold. “Be more specific.”

“Captain, this evening the official Weibo account blew up from too many reposts, the person in charge called me and asked if I could make NoHomo yield and publish a Weibo post to apologize. I thought that NoHomo didn’t do anything wrong, and the livestream yesterday was done by both you and him, why should NoHomo have to apologize. So I got the person in charge to contact you directly, if you agree, then I’d have no comments on letting NoHomo apologize. Not sure if the club had said something but the Weibo post that the official account posted unilaterally today could’ve just pasted the two words “drama queen” onto NoHomo’s face. The moment I saw it I knew that the person in charge hadn’t contacted you, so I called him up to check and he actually said that this incident had nothing to do with you. I almost f*cking died from laughing, did they think that NoHomo was a pushover with no backing?”

The training room sank into a few seconds of silence, everyone’s gaze turned towards Ji Zhiyao at once.

Ji Zhiyao maintained his expression from before Yuan Wei had started speaking and did not change.

Mo Huaifeng promptly picked up his phone, pushing open the door of the training room with an aloof expression. “I’ll go out to make a call.”

He left too hurriedly, and the door was slammed shut with a bang.

The sound of door ramming was very harsh, as if directly crashing onto everyone’s heart.

Ji Zhiyao did not know how to describe his own mood, but he felt like his entire body was in ice water. He distraughtly thought about a lot, but there were very quickly only three words left in his mind.

He twitched the corner of his lips with difficulty. “Brother Yuan Wei, will I be banned from competing?”

Yuan Wei’s face turned blue. “You did not violate the rules of the club, what ban would there be?”

The others who came back to their senses after hearing the words “banned from competing” were also slightly anxious. Xiao said directly, “Don’t worry, the club’s side is probably trying to take advantage of when Captain doesn’t want to run affairs to stir some trouble, after Captain teaches them a lesson they’ll be in order.”

Ji Zhiyao nodded his head.

His mind was in a mess, everything huddled together without a lead.

It seems that ever since he joined Mix, everything that has been reported about the team was all negative, no matter in which aspect…

If so, should he have not joined the team at the start?

But he had undoubtedly only wanted to game properly.

He thought that he had been working hard in training. If it wasn’t because the orientation of their training was confidential information, he really wanted to upload all his training timings and contents online, and let all the people who hid behind their screens and only knew to misinterpret his person as they wished to have a good look.

Look at why exactly he could become an eSports professional player.

It had never been explicitly stipulated that professional players cannot interact with members of their team, or their other friends, Then, why did something that is so common for other people become such a heinous crime when it came to him?

Ji Zhiyao could not really understand.

He was near the point of breakdown.

In this moment, he truly understood why many professional players developed problems with their mentality.

Just like now.

Forever not knowing if what he was doing was right or wrong, no matter what he did it was never understood.

As if all of his privacy was exposed before the public, each and every action of his had to be criticized from head to toe.

And as a part of the eSports scene that wasn’t understood by others, they could not have one bit of negative act.

Because by human nature, they would, from a minute detail, rapidly amplify the negative impression onto the whole industry.

In the lengthy silence of the training room, Ji Zhiyao thought about lots.

Up till Mo Huaifeng with the cold wind, pushed open the door and entered.

Yuan Wei saw that there wasn’t much change in Mo Huaifeng’s expression, feeling relieved deep down, stepped forward and asked, “It’s done?”

“Mm.”

Ji Zhiyao instinctively looked toward Mo Huaifeng, seeing that he suddenly shifted his gaze to the direction where he was at, his lips curving up lightly, looking like consolation.

And after that Mo Huaifeng pulled back his gaze, some hints of mockery now on his curved lips. “For now all of you don’t reply to the comments on the official Weibo account, if there are private messages or comments, ignore them too, focus on training, hand the rest to me.”

“NoHomo.”

Ji Zhiyao returned to his senses after being called by Mo Huaifeng, but was still a little absent-minded. “Captain, what’s up?”

“Remember to check the battleteam official Weibo account later.”

Ji Zhiyao did not understand but still replied “okay”.

Two hours later.

Ji Zhiyao who could not get into his training condition the entire time suddenly remembered this instruction and picked up his phone to open Weibo.

The moment he entered, the app almost crashed from the lag.

Ji Zhiyao waited for a moment and intentionally ignored the “notifications” tab and directly found Mix’s official account under his following.

Coincidentally, three minutes ago, Mix official account had just published a new post.

[MixOfficialWeiboV:

Apology letter:

Dear all fans of the team, our extreme apologies, at 7:16 PM this evening, Mix battleteam official Weibo account person in charge published a Weibo post according to his subjective view, without having received the approval of the club’s executives beforehand. Some parts of the improper diction of the post has already caused a certain extent of damage to the reputation of the team’s reserve member Mix.Yao. With regards to this incident, we have made the following decision:

1. Remove the person in charge from his duties.

2. Delete the inappropriate Weibo post.

3. Sincerely apologize to our member Mix.Yao and the fans.

But at the same time, we must admit one point, some untrue comments spreading online and intentional verbal abuses has already greatly affected all of Mix member’s daily training. As such, we have decided, to issue warnings to Weibo accounts intentionally spreading malicious comments, at the same time also maintain the right to pursue legal liability.

As an established Chinese eSports team, Mix’s internal team look in our own hearts and believe that we have never let down any single fan that supports the team. We also believe that at the upcoming national qualifiers and international league, the team will use their ranking to give everyone a satisfactory answer sheet.

We used to search for light in the dark, and today, in the face of light, we’ve been muffled by a layer of haze by the people we deeply love.

To spread the spirit of Chinese eSports to all corners of the world, is our responsibility, and also our conscience that we’ve stood by all along.

Mix battleteam hereby sincerely invites all who share an ardent love for eSports to witness it together with us.

That is all.

Wishing everyone a good day.

…

Ji Zhiyao read this long post from top to bottom, reading through each word and sentence, he could no longer express what exactly was the feeling in his heart.

But he understood one point, such a standard apology, the moment it was posted by the official account, it would definitely set off an even larger disturbance.

If the team achieves good results for the national qualifiers and international league, there definitely wouldn’t be anymore comments; but if they made mistakes…

That was akin to putting the entire club on the edge of the cliff.

But his Captain seemed to be completely indifferent to this consequence, only whole-heartedly wanting to give him a fair treatment.

Was Captain being too good to him…

Ji Zhiyao absent-mindedly stared at his phone’s screen in a daze, his train of thoughts had already floated to unsure how far out.
