Chapter 1287: End Game (27)
Under his influence, his teammates also calmed down and played steadily.
Although the other three team members weren’t able to keep up with the maneuvering, they were taking instructions well.
Shen Liangchuan directed as he played.
And even though it had been a tough game, they met with victory.
When the victory sign appeared on the screen, the whole of the internet cafe was bubbling with excitement.
Everyone looked at Shen Liangchuan excitedly as they cheered.
Because the game was being livestreamed, though the person didn’t really understand what had happened, the news that they had defeated country H spread like wildfire on the internet.
[Who said that China was weak at eSports? Give yourselves a hard slap!]
The post became a trending topic in no time.
But just as quickly, the opponent team retaliated:
[Chinese master players defeated diamond players. What’s there to be proud of? If you’re so capable, see you at the national tournament. We’ll show you what our master players can do!]
Qiao Lian was livid.
King was shameless indeed.
Promoting himself like that.
She shook her head and was tempted to spill the beans about the fact that Pad was in fact King. But she knew no one would believe her.
She could only shake her head and let it go.
In the meantime, the internet cafe was now packed to the brim with people.
Song Cheng dashed in with security officers and separated Shen Liangchuan from the students.
Protecting Qiao Lian, Shen Liangchuan was about to leave when he halted his steps and turned around to look at the people in the cafe. Then he smiled and said, “What happened here is a secret between us, right?”
Everyone was stunned by those words for a moment. Someone immediately replied, “Best Actor Shen, don’t worry! We won’t say a word of what happened today.”
“Exactly. We won’t tell anyone else!”
Shen Liangchuan nodded and said, “Thanks, guys.”
Without another word, he left with Qiao Lian.
After they had gone…
There was first a silence in the cafe.
After a moment, a male voice spoke, “My girlfriend used to be crazy about him. I was indignant and felt that he was just a pretty face. But today I’ve suddenly become a fan. Oh no, what do I do now? I think I’m crazy over him too!”
“It’s useless to be crazy over him, Best Actor Shen no longer acts.”
Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan did not hear all of these exclamations.
They had left the cafe, gotten into their van and were heading back to the hotel.
Qiao Lian was silent throughout the ride.
They went back up to their room upon arriving.
Shen Liangchuan showered and, as he walked out of the bathroom, he saw Qiao Lian with her head lowered, looking dispirited and listless.
He walked towards her and asked, “What’s the matter?”
She sighed and started, “Obviously, these players from country H are no easy pushovers. The only reason we won today was because they didn’t know who they were up against. They were right, they weren’t playing seriously. By the time they realized it, we had already defeated them. But as you saw, even though they were defeated, they are very resilient.”
Shen Liangchuan frowned as he heard this and asked, “And so?”
“And so, they will surely make a serious effort during the match. And at that point, I can’t be confident we’ll win.”
Frowning even more deeply now, Shen Liangchuan continued, “So?”
Staring at him intently, she suddenly replied after a short pause, “So I need you, Zi Chuan.”
