Chương 22: Tianmeng
Zizi came from the same youth training camp as Wei Chen and they used to share the same room so he knew him more than others.
While others were hitting puberty, this dude was hitting people in the game.
While others were talking about girlfriends or boyfriends, this dude was cruising over a hundred champions in the game.
While others were partying, this dude was setting fire to the enemy's jungle.
While others were sleeping early in the morning, this dude was jogging outside!
Ahem, his point was that you would never see another well-behaved Alpha as much as this Bamboo!
He sometimes wondered whether this guy went into a rut or not seeing how he only had eyes for the game.
Although it sounded unfortunate for many Omegas, Betas, or maybe Alphas out there, this dude had no interest in 3D people.
Meanwhile, Wei Chen who was the recipient of Zizi's incredulous gaze maintained his motionless face as he answered, "Give it away."
Picking up his ears, Zizi looked at him with eyes full of gossip, "To who?"
Wei Chen gave him a faint look as if he was speaking to an idiot, "Someone in need."
Zizi: "..." This mofo.
After hearing such a plain response, Zizi instantly dropped the topic. It was likely that this guy gave it to an elder or children along the way so there was no use in digging.
It was stupid of him to think that it might be a romantic encounter.
Even the Holy Monk Yu Shen might graduate from the single dog's club before this Bamboo.
[A/N: Sun_Shen, A Support in the North American region, last year's World Champion.]
Warily shaking his head from side to side, Zizi tiredly suggested, "Okay, let's go to our waiting room and wait for that Kunlun Snow Chrysanthemum flower tea Xi to come and go for dinner."
[A/N: A 'heavenly' rare flower tea that is grown only in the Kunlun mountains, where low temperatures allow the flowers to grow slowly and acquire more flavor.]
After another half an hour passed, both of the teams including Wei Chen gathered in a private room in a certain restaurant.
XiaoXi resentfully gnashed his teeth as he glared at Zizi who was languidly leaning against his chair without a care in the world, "You motherf*cker, how dare you do me dirty like that!"
Zizi boringly picked his ear with his pinky finger as he mocked, "Flower Tea Xi, you took a trophy, didn't you? Why are you still baring your fangs against me, a loser?"
XiaoXi gave an angry laugh. How would he not know what this sleazy dog was doing?
Even though Sunzheng lost, they still had the chance at the play-ins stage. With their strength, he was sure that they were going to meet again in the quarterfinal on the international stage.
As for him, despite being a winner, due to that one match, other people would likely say that he, XiaoXi, was lucky to be carried by his team, not his ability!
XiaoXi was already used to being scolded on the internet but still, having this dog being the reason for the scolding, he felt like he just ate crap.
In the meantime, Zizi, who was an Alpha, was not afraid of going head to head against a frail Beta like XiaoXi so he cheekily spat his tongue at him, "I dare you to swap lanes and 1 vs 1 me."
XiaoXi icily smiled, "You think I don't dare?"
In return, Zizi gave a broad smile showing his two rows of pearly white teeth, "I'll wait."
It should be noted that in this private room, there were other people other than these two who were loudly bickering with each other.
At this moment, the children on both teams sheepishly ate their food while listening to the talks of two legends.
No matter how many times they witnessed this, they still could not adapt to how their idols' images kept being shattered.
Well, at least God Silence did not break out of his persona.
At the thought of this, everyone secretly glanced at the aloof handsome man who was elegantly eating his food while sitting in between those two who were arguing with each other.
The man was so unperturbed that everyone was suspecting whether he was wearing invisible headphones to isolate the noise from the outside or not.
Other than ordering his food when he arrived, up until now he has never said a single word…
As expected, he is living up to his name.
Silence.
It was not like Wei Chen liked to ignore people or shy away from having a conversation with others.
Once asked, he would answer.
Conversely, when no one asked, there was no need for him to speak.
Due to Wei Chen's prestige and apathetic appearance, he gave off a vibe that others were afraid to bother him in case they annoy him or he suddenly found them displeased to the eyes.
As a result, most of the time, Wei Chen remained silent.
Unless it was about the game, Wei Chen rarely initiated a conversation so it furthermore consolidated this misunderstanding of his cold and noble image.
Just like now, during this entire dinner, Wei Chen mind his own business and simply finished his food while those that were of legal age continued to drink alcohol causing the atmosphere to heat up.
The room continued to be filled with bickerings between Zizi and XiaoXi until both of them got completely drunk, the room finally quieted down.
Wei Chen, who did not take a single sip of alcohol, helped to escort those who were drunk to the car before politely declining Coach Gu's offer to send him back to his hotel.
The restaurant was close to his accommodation so Wei Chen decided to walk back with the exercise in mind to help with digestion.
His flight would take off tomorrow in the afternoon so after taking a shower and drying his hair he opened up the laptop to log into the game.
While waiting for the game to load, Wei Chen opened his phone to see the notifications of Tianmeng's group chat.
[TM_BlackLotus: Kid, what do you think about Sen being your support?]
[TM_OldLongTea: Haha, is the support trying to rebel and you are trying to steal his kills? Lolz]
[TM_Alphabet: Gege, are you dissatisfied with my skills? UwU]
[TM_BlackLotus: You push too slow and pull too late]
[TM_Alphabet: ...]
[TM_OldLongTea: (👍 ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)👍]
[TM_OldLongTea: Kid, go train a bit more before trying to talk dirty against Lotus. Jiayou]
[TM_Alphabet: You both bully me just because the Captain is not here!]
[TM_BlackLotus: How cute, looking for your Dad but you know what? Your Dad will only seen but not reply.]
[TM_OldLongTea: Bl 2, Al 0]
[TM_Alphabet: Are you feeling good about winning over a high schooler?!]
[TM_BlackLotus: What's good about winning over an underage kid?]
[TM_OldLongTea: Bl 3 Al 0]
Wei Chen's face remained unchanged after glancing over his team's chat messages.
Although the conversation sounded unprofessional, they were all professional players of Tianmeng.
The conversation took place some time ago and Wei Chen only filtered the important part as he ignored the rest.
[TM_Silence: Sen, support is feasible.]
[TM_BlackLotus: Captain, I see that you have already arrived at your hotel?]
[TM_Silence: Mm.]
[TM_BlackLotus: I have been practicing these days and unintentionally following the number 1 Sen player, I have to say his skill is really good]
[TM_OldLongTea: What? Did he main support?]
[TM_BlackLotus: A few times since his main role is a Mid Laner]
Wei Chen's eyes lingered on the word Mid Laner. Lotus liked to joke around but when it came to the decision-making in the game, Wei Chen trusted his judgment.
Wei Chen understood Lotus's underlying meaning instantly.
[TM_Silence: A casual player?]
[TM_BlackLotus: To be honest, I don't think so even though it may have looked like he just started playing TOBH not long ago]
[TM_OldLongTea: Perhaps a retired pro player?]
[TM_BlackLotus: No. He used to be a cooking anchor]
[TM_OldLongTea: Ummm, this is unexpected]
[TM_Alphabet: Wait, what? Are we hiring a new chef?]
[TM_BlackLotus: Captain, you can check him out for yourself]
[TM_Alphabet: Hey, don't ignore me!]
[TM_OldLongTea: We are discussing your new Daddy]
[TM_Alphabet: o∆o, you've found him? Who?!]
[TM_BlackLotus: Captain, here is his broadcasting room number. He is called Yueyue and his ID in-game is called No Inted Just Bad]
The moment Wei Chen saw the last name, he froze.
His eyes which have always been calm like stagnant water, at this moment, seemed like there was a stone thrown into the water causing countless ripples to appear.
Wei Chen inevitably remembered the small event that happened a while ago at the game arena.
Even in the dark, that person's silver hair seemed to shine in the dimly lit environment. Perhaps, because half of his face was covered by the facemask so his pair of good-looking eyes stood out even more to him.
Wei Chen remembered himself being a bit distracted after seeing the stunning pair of violet eyes with long silver eyelashes gazing back at him.
As a result, Wei Chen unintentionally stared back without saying a single word in return.
Thinking again, it was quite rude of him to do that. Fortunately, the other side was an easy-going person and did not find faults with his rude behavior.
Wei Chen had a good memory or so to say that name was relatively memorable so it inevitably got stuck in his head after hearing it once.
Briefly recalling their conversation, Wei Chen was sure that it was the same person. He did after all mention that he went by the name Yueyue as a game anchor.
There was no need to question Wei Chen's ability to climb rank that's why he thought of adding the other person as a gesture of courtesy before politely declining his offer since he was busy after all.
Never in his wildest dream would he think that the other person was likely to be his new potential teammate.
For Lotus to speak highly of him, there was no need to doubt his ability. What's more, recruiting a casual player Wei Chen had no problem with this matter either as long as his game performance could catch his eye.
[TM_Silence: I'll check.]
[TM_Alphabet: Wow, are we bringing a total rookie? Am I going to be a Senior now?!]
[TM_BlackLotus: Hehe, he is an old driver unlike you ah]
[TM_OldLongTea: Wait, let me check him out too]
[TM_Alphabet: Nobody loves me π∆π]
Wei Chen locked the phone screen before logging out of his main account to his side account and then sent a friend request to anchor Yueyue.
After doing this, he closed the game before logging into another side account in the TY platform to check out Yueyue's previous streams.
After seeing the date of his first stream of TOBH's content, Wei Chen was inwardly shocked.
He did not lie about playing a week ago?
Even becoming the number 1 Sen in such a short time?
What kind of a monster is this?
With a slight expectation in his pair of calm eyes, Wei Chen started to watch Yueyue's streams from one week ago until the latest one.
He used to stay up late analyzing the games and discussing the strategy with the Coach and analytics team so he did not feel tired after staying up all night going through these long videos.
On the contrary, he felt even more spirited.
Wei Chen, who only looked alive during exciting competitions, at this moment had a slight smile on his handsome countenance.
Even his flat voice was unable to suppress his excitement and satisfaction as he quietly muttered under his breath.
"I've found him... My ideal Mid laner."
