Chapter 153: F*ck Off
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As they reached Sulwhasoo, they saw Da Luo walk out with a girl in an off-shoulder green dress. The girl had a smile on her face, holding Da Luo’s hand and looking intimate, but there seemed to be a big difference between them as compared to other normal couples. Of course, that was still more than what Luocheng had as he had never held hands with Qianqian before.
“That’s quite pricey.” Qianqian said pointing at the cosmetics on display, not noticing the two of them.
“That’s why I said, not suitable at all…” Lin Dong muttered, shrugging his shoulders. Having said that, he smiled as he walked toward Da Luo.
When Lin Dong and Da Luo had been in the same team, they often fought and insulted each other, but their relationship was still good. Otherwise, Da Luo wouldn’t have thought of Lin Dong when he needed help with money.
Da Luo looked like a big boy who was floating on cloud nine, the smile on his face could barely be contained. Luocheng gave Da Luo’s girlfriend a few more glances, noting that she had make up on her face which was natural looking, not too heavy or thick. She not only looked beautiful, but the sexy short dress she wore was also very attractive. It was hard to fault Da Luo for having such a smitten look on his face when he had managed to land a girlfriend that beautiful. The five of them found a place to sit once they had met up.
“Shui Mo, this is Lin Dong, you’ve met before…” Da Luo said, introducing them to Shui Mo.
“Yeah, the computer expert.” Shui Mo said, smiling and nodding. “And these two are?”
Da Luo gave Luocheng an unimpressed look and said, “Luocheng, he used to be the leader of our team back then. He’s now a student in Shanghai University.”
“Leader? What team was this?” Shui Mo asked, curious.
She wasn’t the only curious one, Qianqian was also feeling the same, her eyes were wide, staring at Luocheng, as though she had suddenly stumbled upon a secret.
“Oh, it wasn’t anything big. Just an e-sports team playing some games.” Da Luo said nonchalantly, not seeming to want to elaborate on their past.
“Yeah, I came this time was to recruit Da Luo into our LOL team.” Lin Dong interrupted.
“What is LOL?” Shui Mo asked.
“This…it’s a game that’s hot right now in the e-sports scene.” Da Luo explained.
“What does it mean to recruit Da Luo into the team?” She asked.
Lin Dong scratched his forehead. For a girl who didn’t even know what LOL was, how should he explain and give a comparison? Did you know what accessory made the most perfect girl in the eyes of a geek?
Of course, it was the confidence in one sentence, “Miss Rank 1,800!”
“It means making a career in e-sports, participating in city, province, nationals or world competitions.” Lin Dong explained in the simplest way he could think of.
Once Lin Dong had finished speaking, Qianqian’s face lit up like a lightbulb being switched on. Grabbing onto Luocheng’s sleeves, she said, “You’re going to make a professional team?”
“I’m just putting my name down.” Luocheng answered.
Lin Dong glared at Luocheng, but the latter only shrugged nonchalantly.
“That said, isn’t e-sports computer games?” Shui Mo said.
“If you want to put it that way, then yeah.” Lin Dong replied.
“Gaming as work?” Shui Mo looked from Lin Dong to Da Luo, clearly not being able to comprehend such a thing.
Shui Mo’s words hit deep in their guts for Lin Dong, Da Luo and Luocheng. Just two or three years ago, gaming had been their life.
“That’s not all there is to it. The team we set up will eventually become a company and a club. There will be managers, coaches, businessmen, and media.” Lin Dong explained further. “If Da Luo joins us, he will become a core member of the team.”
“Oh, it’s like that?” Shui Mo said, looking at Da Luo.
Da Luo was startled at Lin Dong’s explanation and he laughed nervously when she turned to him.
“Yeah, that’s the rough idea. Come on Lin Dong, let’s get some snacks for them.”
“Sure.” Lin Dong understood what Da Luo meant and stood up, walking away with the latter toward the stores.
Luocheng watched them leave and assumed that they wanted to discuss about the team matter privately, so he didn’t get up to follow. Qianqian and Shui Mo were discussing something about cosmetics, and Shui Mo was delighted to share the wonders of the perfume that she had been looking at previously.
Qianqian already smelled wonderful and didn’t need any perfume, was Luocheng’s thought as he listened.
Buzz!
Da Luo’s phone which was on the table vibrated. Luocheng glanced at the girls who were still chatting and he took the phone, standing up and heading toward the stalls.
Buzz!
Halfway toward the stalls, Luocheng was worried that the caller may hang up, so he picked up the call.
“Hello, Da Luo is…” Luocheng was about to explain, but an angry voice came through, cutting him off.
“What did you mean with that text message! I’m telling you, there are a lot of people who can play LOL right now, and there are a lot of people who are willing to be boosters! Don’t think you’re all that just because your rank is high. You can’t even beat the 24 win streak, you’re just f*cking trash!”
“You think yourself a god in e-sports? Get off your high horse and ask who still remembers your bird shit Team Wings? If it wasn’t for Zhao Tinghua, do you think I’d offer you such a high rate? You dare to scold me, I can make it so that you will never get another order! What the f*ck do you think you’re playing at! Just f*ck off from my store!”
As the harsh words kept coming, Luocheng was silent as he listened to the unpleasant words, his face becoming darker. After telling Da Luo to f*ck off, the person hung up the call. Luocheng glanced at the caller ID and his eyes burned with anger.
Zheng Shanjia…
Wasn’t he one of the suppliers in the Sky Club?
Luocheng could still recall the guy’s hateful face and greasy fake smile when he was pleased!
“What’s wrong?” Lin Dong and Da Luo asked in concern, walking to stand beside Luocheng as they noticed his blackened face. Da Luo noticed his phone in Luocheng’s hands.
Luocheng handed over the phone, and said, “Zheng Shanjia just asked you to f*ck off from his store.”
Hearing that, Da Luo’s face twisted and he growled in frustration. “Damn it! That piece of shit!”
Zheng Shanjia used to be a supplier for Sky Club and he later on opened a Taobao store. When the store had first opened, Da Luo had been helping him with the orders all the while, sometimes even playing through the night to complete them.
Thanks to the 24 win streak that he had, they had managed to recruit a lot of business and highly skilled players. What Da Luo didn’t expect was that when this bastard succeeded in his business, he would turn around and kick Da Luo out just because of a few harsh words he let loose in chasing for his money!
“What’s with the 24 win streak?” Luocheng asked Da Luo.
“There are a lot of booster players for LOL in Taobao stores nowadays. If you want to stand out from those, you’d have to have something unique. This consecutive win streak is a record in the country, and it’s basically the treasure of the store. It proves that the store is great and it has a lot of highly skilled players.” Da Luo said angrily. “Half a month ago, another player broke my record with a 25 win streak, just one f*cking game more. Using this as an excuse, that dog Zheng Shanjia wants to lower the rate that he promised me.”
“25 win streak? Could it be Shallow Dream from the Ionia Server?” Luocheng asked hurriedly.
“Yeah, that’s her!” Da Luo exclaimed. “You know her?”
Luocheng laughed bitterly. “I matched with her, once against her, and once with her.”
“Is she good?” Da Luo asked.
“Extremely good. If I was at the bottom lane instead of the top lane in the match against her, I might have beaten her during her 21 win streak. But it’s hard to say, maybe I would have been in a standstill with her, it would have depended on the Support…” Luocheng said.
