How could they be unworthy?

Yu Yue was at a loss.

Was it that important to be the one carrying and killing? Being able to initiate team fights and protect the carry, being the strongest support for the team, and leading the team to victory, isn’t that another form of carrying?

Lian Was not without talent — — otherwise, he would not have been praised for his Gui Guzi after changing roles.

Being a mid-laner himself, he should have the corresponding awareness. At least he should know what Qi Ge needs in terms of vision, but he never looks, even though the mid lane was being targeted badly, he still wandered around the King’s Gorge.

Yu Yue used to think that he just did not know.

But she had never thought it was because he looked down on the entire team.

You all don’t deserve my support, so why should I care about your life and death?

But — — Why?

Da Qing and Da Ming, the two brothers, cooperate so well that sometimes even their positions can be interchangeable.

Jungler Ling Chen had distinct thinking, was smooth in operation, and was bold.

As for Lu Qi, not much was needed to be said. Just for digging her out from the cold bench to play on stage, Yu Yue was forever going to praise her captain.

Moreover, Captain Lu was really strong.

The more Yu Yue thought about it, the more she felt that her teammates were too good to be true.

Where else can you find such good teammates?

If you don’t want them, you can give them all to me!

What a waste! Ignorant of one’s blessing! It’s heartbreaking!

She tossed and turned on her small bed, getting angrier the more she thought about it.

The phone suddenly lit up in the dark, illuminating the small storage room brightly and interrupting Yu Yue’s thoughts — — someone sent her a message.

[Your dad is planting loquats]: Go to bed early, even if you win, don’t browse forums randomly, and be careful of being overwhelmed by rainbow farts till you don’t know what to do tomorrow.

[Your dad is planting loquats]: Da Qing and Da Ming, these two brothers are like old women gossiping, they dare to say anything they hear, don’t take it too seriously.

This WeChat name seems familiar, but it seems too vulgar.

Yu Yue: “……Hiss”

Big shot, who you??

She sent a question mark.

[Your dad is planting loquats]: Open up, the captain is here to check the water meter.

Yu Yue: !!!

The first floor was the training room and cafeteria. It’s already eleven o’clock at night. Normally, this group of people might have just woken up and started a new day of revelry — — but there was a match tomorrow, so the few who were particularly excited had already been sent upstairs to sleep.

So when Yu Yue opened the door, she only saw the team captain standing at the door.

The man was very tall, and in this slightly cramped space, he had to bend down and lower his head, “Are you thinking about Lian?”

A line of words popped into YuYue’s mind:

The legendary ‘care from the team captain.’.

“Come out, let me give you some psychological guidance.”

Yu Yue obediently walked out.

Her mother taught her from a young age not to be alone in a room with a man.

But she knew, in the eyes of her team captain, the entire 1.3 billion people in China could probably only be divided into two types:

Those who can play games well, and those who play games flamboyantly and messily.

Gender was not important at all.

“Sit here.” Lu Qi turned on the small lamp in the living room, sat on the sofa, and patted the seat next to him. “Are you still used to living in your room?”

As soon as she sat down, Yu Yue smelled the scent of the man’s body wash.

En, it was a musky scent that could be smelled within a ten-meter radius.

Wonder who brought it.

“It’s fine.” Anyway, it was not like she could switch rooms.

If JK had enough money to give her a room, the first and second teams would not have to live separately.

“I applied with the team manager,” Lu Qi suddenly spoke, “to prepare a room for you at the new base. You know that JK is building a new base, right? Let them prepare a room for you on the second floor.”

“The second team’s base is indeed about to expire. The landlord occasionally comes by to urge us to move out, hoping to rent the house to someone else soon,” Yu Yue said. “After the new base is built, will the second team move into the current first team base?”

“No,” Lu Qi said firmly, “everyone will move to the new base. If you perform well in the matches, they might prepare a room for you on the second floor.”

The second floor!

Yu Yue’s eyes lit up.

Traditionally, the starter team had always lived on the second floor.

“If you perform well,” Captain Lu emphasized the primary condition once again.

In esports, it’s all about performance. Everything is built on achieving results. 

If you want fans, you need to perform. If you want to be a starter, you need results.

Those who could compete in esports were once-in-a-million talents. If they could not perform, who would be willing to bow down and submit?

“But……” Yu Yue hesitated.

If she became the starter, what would happen to Lian?

“Are you worried about Lian? The management has already noticed that he’s not very interested in playing. They are discussing a transfer for him. In the next transfer period, he might be listed,” Lu Qi patted her head. “Don’t worry about other people. Focus on preparing for tomorrow’s match.”

He’s leaving……

As YuYue breathed a sigh of relief, she secretly felt happy for Lian.

Transitioning from mid laner to support, if one did not have a bias against supports, it would be hard to be happy.

In mid-lane, one can carry the game himself, but as a support, he would have to hand over the rights to carry to his teammates.

From believing in oneself to believing in their teammates, it was a huge leap.

“When he transfers to a new team, will he be able to become the mid-laner?”

“Hard to say,” Lu Qi pursed his lips and said, “If he’s stronger than the original starting mid-laner, he might end up like you, replacing the original starter. But if he’s not as strong as the original starter and doesn’t need to be a substitute support, then I don’t know where he’ll be placed.”

Some clubs buy several players for the same position, then have internal battles to decide starters and substitutes. The extras might be moved to different roles.

Moving to a different role is not ideal, but since they were bought, they have to follow the team’s decisions.

“You don’t need to pity him too much. The management gave him two choices initially: starting support or substitute mid-laner.”

“?”

“He chose to be the starting support himself,” Lu Qi said expressionlessly. “That was his own choice.”

He did not even dare to let the audience see who was more suited for the starting mid-laner between him and Lu Qi. In essence, he knew he was not as good as Lu Qi, but stepping aside was not something he was happy about.

Yu Yue: “One day, I hope to see senior Lian play seriously.”

Ideally, she would like to see him being rubbed on the ground, losing miserably.

Of course, that last sentence could not be said out loud.

Yu Yue obediently kept quiet and secretly plotted in her mind.

Lu Qi stood up, “Then you work hard to become the starting support. You will eventually see him on the field. As for whether he will be serious then, I don’t know. I’m just here to tell you, he’s not worth your sympathy, and of course, don’t mock him — — after all, he’s your senior, and for a period, he was strong.”

Yu Yue clenched her fist, “En!”

If she sees Lian, who has already joined another team, on the field one day, she won’t hold back either!

It would be best to rub his face on the ground until he was bruised and swollen!

Let you look down on support! Let you look down on your teammates!

This vigorous spirit made the elderly mid-laner Lu Qi smile and patted the furry head of his substitute support, “You go for it, I believe in you.”

The room on the second floor suddenly opened, Xiao Ruo held a r=faintly ringing phone, looking puzzled at the harmonious JK mid-support duo on the first floor, “You guys aren’t asleep yet?”

“I’m giving some psychological support to the substitute support, to prevent any miraculous plays on the field tomorrow.” Lu Qi picked up his team jersey that was hanging on the back of a wooden chair.

Xiao Ruo belatedly said, “Oh.” 

“You’re a great captain,” he added.

“Thanks, caring for teammates is an essential duty for me as the captain,” Lu Qi replied.

This guy is pretty shameless.

Xiao Ruo thought.

But he could not find any flaws in Lu Qi’s words.

Based on past experiences, he knew that while Lu Qi could be a bit of a team tyrant, his care for his teammates was genuine. 

He would pay attention to everyone’s mental state and provide timely guidance.

Just from this point, Lu Qi was a qualified captain. 

Moreover, his in-game commands and plays were on point.

“Rest early,” Xiao Ruo said with a complex expression.

As Lu Qi went up to the second floor, Yu Yue also returned to her small dark room. She closed the door but could still hear the conversation between the team manager and the captain downstairs, although their voices were somewhat muffled as if intentionally lowered.

“Lian won’t play?” Lu Qi asked first.

Xiao Ruo’s voice became even more subdued, “You know his personality, he’s always been arrogant. During the relegation match, Yu Yue subbed for him and won, frustrating him. Now, Yu Yue helped the team secure the first win in the playoffs, everyone is expecting her to face QL. How could he be willing to play anymore?”

“If he doesn’t want to play, then he doesn’t need to play,” Lu Qi said with a nonchalant smile. “He’s not coming back tonight, right?”

“Knowing that we’re facing QL tomorrow, he’s probably avoiding it by staying outside with some young girl,” Xiao Ruo replied.

“The management approved it.” Even though it was a statement, Yu Yue could sense the strong dissatisfaction in Lu Qi’s tone.

It was as if Lu Qi’s face was just missing the words “Is the management stupid for approving this?”

Xiao Ruo felt even more troubled, “They approved it. When you came over initially, to make room for you, when they gave him a choice, JK felt indebted to him.”

So during the regular season, even when things played out like that, Lian was still able to secure his spot as a starter.

“Hmph,” Lu Qi scoffed, “The boss is still so soft. But you know clearly what the status of that so-called ‘girlfriend’ of his is. If that gets out, JK’s reputation won’t sound good.”

Alright, I’ll talk to him…… I’ll go answer the phone, you guys should go to bed. The boss said there’s a bonus for making it to the top four.”

Yu Yue did not need to hear the rest to know that KPL’s number one Eugene Grandet and JK’s number one miser would surely be motivated by the bonus and obediently head to bed.

The next morning, as the JK team finished getting ready and prepared to head to the competition venue, they coincidentally saw Lian at the entrance of the residential area, chatting and laughing with a young and charming girl.

Da Ming could not help but exclaim, surprised, “Isn’t that— —”
