Chapter 113: Let’s Go, I’ll Show You How to Dominate (End)

---

For NXK’s first match, besides Du Feizhou and Vice Director Tang who came to the scene, there were also Xie Chengyan, Ru Chu, and Yi Xin Ren, who were all in Wencheng. They waited for Jiang Chen and Fang Jingxing to finish, then followed them back to the club, preparing to grab a meal together.

As Vice Director Tang saw his brother carrying his equipment bag, being as youthful and spirited as he was in the past, he couldn’t help but feel a bit envious. He reached out and patted his shoulder, calling out, “San’lang.”

Jiang Chen looked at him, waiting for his following words.

Vice Director Tang asked, “What’s the thing he wanted to hear the most?”

Jiang Chen said, “Get lost.”

The former teammates and Yi Xin Ren instantly burst out laughing, finding today’s incident very amusing.

Xie Chengyan, on the other hand, stared at his childhood friend, telling him to be more careful in the future.

Fang Jingxing looked innocent and said, “I just want to hear him treat me to dinner. What’s there to be careful about?”

Xie Chengyan said, “As if I’d believe that!”

Fang Jingxing said, “No respect for your elders.”

Xie Chengyan: “…”

Are you still friken human?

Yi Xin Ren laughed again.

He couldn’t understand the relationship between these three before and had made several guesses, but he didn’t expect the truth to be so interesting.

Fang Jingxing quit while he was ahead and decided to stop teasing his childhood friend further.

He called someone to show them around the club, then set down his equipment bag and went back to the dormitory with Jiang Chen to change clothes.

As soon as the door closed, he pulled the other into his arms from behind and gently planted a kiss on his earlobe, “Baobei’er, you were so cool today.”

Jiang Chen felt his kiss coming down and tilted his head slightly to evade it, saying, “We still need to eat.”

Fang Jingxing’s response was to turn around and press him against the door, kissing him.

The fiery kiss lasted for a long time, and when they finally parted, both of them were breathing heavily. Fang Jingxing looked at him closely and whispered, “Let me hear it?”

Jiang Chen’s eyelids twitched slightly, “Get away.”

Recently, who knew what hit Fang Jingxing in the head, he particularly liked hearing him call him “Ge.”

With Captain Jiang’s immortal-like visuals, he refused to admit that he was in his forties or fifties, so he didn’t refuse the first time. Who knew that Fang Jingxing would become addicted to hearing it.

He said, “Hurry up and change clothes and go out.”

Otherwise, who knew what that surnamed Tang guy might start imagining.

Fang Jingxing chuckled and kissed him again, planning to discuss it further when they returned in the evening.

After changing into casual clothes, the two of them went out and chatted with Vice Director Tang and the others for a while before calling their teammates to go out for dinner.

While waiting for their food, they checked their phones and noticed that “Black Seal Master” had surged to the top of the trending topics.

Vice Director Tang tsked tsked and said, “Your grandeur is impressive.”

Although he said that, he wasn’t surprised at all.

As the only cryopreserved person currently known to the public, Jiang Chen naturally carried a certain level of popularity. Moreover, the Black Seal Master holds a special place in the hearts of a generation, and its reappearance in Dreamscape after thirty years naturally generated a lot of hype.

The video even included several scenes of his kills.

With the exhilarating music mixed with explosive roars, the refined Seal Master in white was dyed back, looking incredibly hotblooded. The comments were filled with people screaming “Ahhhhs.”

Vice Director Tang thought to himself that Jiang Chen would surely attract another wave of fans going crazy for him. He tsked tsked again and asked, “Who are your next opponents?”

Jiang Chen replied, “NAM, Human Society’s team.”

A certain person couldn’t stand being talked about; as soon as Jiang Chen mentioned him, he popped up in the group chat, @ed Jiang Chen, and asked if he was still going first in the next match.

Jiang Chen: I’m not.

Fang Jingxing had set up special alerts for Jiang Chen. When he heard the notification, he entered the group, then added: I am.

Human Society Chokes People~ was displeased: Who wants to fight you? Let God Chen come.

Jiang Chen: Okay, then I’ll come shotcall^[1]gaming term for decision making/commands the team.

Human Society Chokes People~: …

The rest of the group chat members were exploded out.

Although such casual chatter wouldn’t be taken seriously by anyone, Jiang Chen shotcalling in the future… that was probably certain. They had already guessed as much, especially considering his past experience leading his team to championships; his tactical thinking wouldn’t be lacking. Besides, just from observing his gaming style, it was clear that he was someone who constantly pulled off flashy gameplay.

Not only were these two strong in skill, but they were both full of mischievous ideas. They were simply not giving people a chance to survive.

“Do we still have any love left?”

“Com’on, we’re all brothers here, is that necessary?”

“If you love me a little bit today, then I’ll also love you a little bit tomorrow, isn’t that right~”

“That’s right, isn’t harmony nice?”

Jiang Chen: Then you guys voluntarily give up.

“Admitting defeat is too embarrassing, how about we roll numbers?”

“Hahaha, I’m down!”

“It’s hard not to support that.”

After this period of live streaming and interacting, almost everyone in the league knew that Jiang Chen wasn’t good at rolling numbers.

Jiang Chen and Fang Jingxing replied almost simultaneously.

Jiang Chen: Okay.

Fang Jingxing: I’ll roll [smile]

Everyone: “…”

Fuck!

Seeing the dishes being served one after another, Jiang Chen no longer paid attention to their cries. He threw out an “eating now” and then closed the group chat.

Vice Director Tang caught a glimpse of the chat interface out of the corner of his eye, but he didn’t peek, he only knew that it was the group chat for all the teams.

He couldn’t help but recall their past days of teasing each other in the group chat, and reminisced about the youth he couldn’t return to. Curious, he asked, “Which of these teams is more troublesome to deal with?”

Jiang Chen replied, “All the teams that can make it to the playoffs are troublesome.”

But no worries.

He glanced at Fang Jingxing beside him.

Fang Jingxing happened to be looking at him as well, carrying a gentle smile in his eyes. His expression wore the same confidence and determination as Jiang Chen’s. They just need to keep winning.

——just need to keep winning.

Throughout the regular season, NXK only lost three games, entering the playoffs in an unstoppable manner. Even God or Buddha couldn’t have stopped them as they advanced smoothly to the finals.

This year’s final was held in Wencheng.

Even before nightfall, the largest sports center in Wencheng was already crowded with people outside.

The majority of those attending the event were fans of NXK. In addition to young men and women, there were also quite a few middle-aged people, and even some parent-child pairs. They were all there for Chen Hui Lan Le—in the entire league, only NXK matches would have such a scene.

At this moment, in one corner of the square, a group of people was slowly gathering.

A large flag fluttered in the wind, bearing three words in big bold characters: Mercury Reflecting Fate.

White Dragon Bone, “Whose idea is this?”

Fei Xing Chong Mu, “I don’t know, ask around.”

Man in the Mirror, “Mine. It’s eye-catching and saves time.”

Wooden Yoke, “Clever.”

Morning Farewell, “This deserves a compliment.”

Liu Heze, “Finally reliable for once. Looks like your guild master put in a lot of effort.”

Xing Tian Cheng hung a modest smile on his face, secretly stuffing the suona^[2]traditional double-reeded Chinese musical instrument brought by a certain person into his bag some more.

Reliable my ass. If he didn’t stop it, when night falls, that suona might just start being played.

He asked, “Golden Gaming League and Ruyi still haven’t arrived yet?”

Wooden Yoke said, “Should be soon.”

White Dragon Bone pointed with his hand and said, “Is that them?”

Everyone looked over and saw two teams approaching not far away.

The two at the front, both wearing well-tailored windbreakers, had different styles but both exuded a domineering CEO aura. Walking together, they didn’t look like they were here to watch a match but rather to conduct business negotiations. Just from appearance, they already looked like Ru Chu and Gu Wen.

Sure enough, the two of them noticed the flag and walked over towards them.

The group of people exchanged a few pleasantries and stood waiting for the others.

The surrounding players looked curiously, noticing two outstanding-looking young men behind Ru Chu. One had his arm around the other’s shoulder, whispering something, while the other listened quietly. Occasionally, he would smile, exuding a charming aura.

They secretly took a deep breath.

That person looked towards them as if sensing their gaze, his beautiful peach blossom eyes curved into a smile, and he blew a kiss to them.

Everyone: “…”

Welp, no need to ask, this was most likely the famous Zha Zha.

The other one with the arm around the other’s shoulder was probably Ruyi’s “specialty,” Eternal Deep Affection. Putting aside everything else, at least this scum combi did indeed have the looks; no losses to sleep for a night.

Man in the Mirror and they were also observing Ruyi’s team.

They observed from the beginning to the end, and unable to resist, they approached a little closer.

Man in the Mirror, “Is the Film Emperor coming today? I’ve never seen a living celebrity before.”

Golden Sixteen, “Is Sweet Sweet here?”

Gou Sheng answered one by one, “They’re all coming. The Film Emperor is a relative and went backstage to see God Chen and the others. He’ll go directly to the audience seats from there. Sweet Sweet went to pick up Xiao Song and said they’ll be here soon.”

Man in the Mirror envied, “I also want to go see the big shots.”

Gou Sheng said, “We’ll have a meal after the match, you’ll see them then.”

Golden Sixteen felt a bit sour and asked, “Is Sweet Sweet’s relationship with Xiao Song very good?”

Gou Sheng said, “Sister and brother.”

Golden Sixteen’s heart instantly settled.

Ten minutes later, they heard the sound of “dadada” footsteps approaching from afar, and a tall girl walked over.

She wore long boots and a beige windbreaker, her long hair permed, with light makeup on her face, looking very beautiful. In addition, there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy beside her, who had a somewhat erratic expression for some reason.

As the two approached, the girl smiled gracefully and said, “Hi.”

Man in the Mirror asked, “You guys are…?”

The girl said, “Sweet Sweet Vanilla.”

The people around all turned their heads simultaneously, causing a commotion.

Goodness gracious! In the game, Sweet Sweet appeared so cute and soft, but in reality, she was actually a stunning beauty! And she’s tall too, what a character gap!

Golden Sixteen heard the voice and ran over, coming face to face with Sweet Sweet who was half a head taller than him, falling silent.

Number Seven looked at him and asked, “You are…?”

Golden Sixteen swallowed nervously and introduced himself.

Number Seven immediately smiled at him and said, “Ah, Sixteen-ge.”

Golden Sixteen’s fragile little heart was somewhat saved by the words “Sixteen-ge.” He watched as she greeted the others, then wandered over to Yi Xin Ren’s side. So he came to his guild master, feeling extremely disheartened, “Guild Master, do you think I still have a chance? Will she like someone shorter… a little bit shorter than her?”

Gu Wen, “I don’t know.”

Golden Sixteen, “What if I wear insoles?”

Gu Wen’s tone remained unchanged, “I don’t know.”

Golden Sixteen, “Why don’t you know anything?”

Gu Wen stared coldly at him, just about to tell him to get lost when he noticed that they could enter the venue now.

The group of people finished their conversation and walked together towards the entrance.

Yi Xin Ren glanced at the person beside him, maintaining a smile, and squeezed out two extremely quiet words from his mouth, “Really impressive.”

Number Seven keenly heard this, lightly flicked his hair, and laughed, saying, “One should be persistent from beginning to end right~”

Yi Xin Ren noticed the movement at the roots of his hair and whispered, “That’s not a wig you’re wearing?”

Number Seven picked up a strand of curled hair with his fingers and handed it over, showing it off, “Hair extensions, just got them done.”

Yi Xin Ren: “…”

Truly impressive.

The two of them ended this conversation, entered the venue, found their seats, and waited for the match to begin.

The commentators quickly took their positions and began the pre-match banter segment, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.

After one round of analyses, they found that NXK’s weaknesses were truly not very obvious, so they both leaned towards favoring NXK to win the championship.

Because when the two big shots join forces, they can easily eliminate any core player from the opposing team in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, when facing them, other teams have to guess the shot caller. Apart from the two big shots, the person who led NXK to the playoffs twice after Fang Jingxing retired was also a tactical genius. This was such a headache, not to mention their incredible skills in the arena.

“There’s another thing that everyone is looking forward to and has been widely discussed recently.”

“Yes, this season is the last keyboard mode competition. Next year, it will switch to holographic mode. Chen Hui Lan Le won the championship in the first season, and if they win again in the final season, it would mean that Dreamscape’s keyboard mode, which spanned over thirty years, started and ended with him. Just thinking about it is exciting.”

“It can only be him, Chen Hui Lan Le, nobody else.”

“Mn, regardless of NXK’s outcome today, adding their performance in the first half of the year, they’ll secure a spot in the World Championship and also compete in the final keyboard mode of the World Championships.”

“After that, there’s also the first holographic competition. If they win both… My goodness, he’s only twenty years old this year and can still compete in holographic mode for several more years. I can’t imagine what kind of achievements he’ll accomplish.”

“Alright, let’s stop praising. If we keep praising, the fans might tear us apart.”

“Hahaha, alright, then let’s hand it over to the host.”

In the venue, as the audience watched the host step onto the stage, they knew the players were about to come out, and they collectively screamed in excitement.

This season, NXK had played with so much passion that they attracted many new fans. Along with their existing fan base, the entire arena was almost filled with chants of “NXK.”

The cheers were like a roaring sea, stirring the people’s hearts.

Standing beside Jiang Chen, Fang Jingxing listened to the commotion before them and suddenly remembered that the last final was also a scene similar to this.

Back then, he had already made plans to retire, thinking it would be the last time he stood on a domestic stage. Unexpectedly, the unpredictable world led him to encounter a captivating Seal Master, which sprouted the idea of returning.

Thinking about the two fateful encounters, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

Jiang Chen looked at him.

Fang Jingxing said, “Are you nervous?”

Jiang Chen was very calm and said, “Nope.”

Fang Jingxing said, “Really? I’m nervous.”

He leaned in closer and jokingly said in the tone they used when they reunited on the day of the server launch, “Boss, please carry me.”

As soon as the words fell, the staff looked over and signaled for them to go onstage.

Jiang Chen glanced at Fang Jingxing, grabbed his hand, and turned to walk forward.

Before them, the voices were clamorous, and the stars shone brightly.

The championship trophy stood at the center of the stage, reflecting a faint glimmer of light.

Their glory began from this step forward.

“Let’s go,” he said, “I’ll show you how to dominate^[3]or “I’ll carry you”.”

(The End)
