Please Have a Cup of Green Tea - Chapter 96
Frank, who was tragically ignored, thought about it, but he didn’t understand what he had offended the twins.
You must know that the three of them used to be buddies who broadcast Lianmai together.
However, with his simple brain circuit, he really couldn’t think of being jealous. In his eyes, it is normal to get to know the goddess Lin through the relationship of good friends.
Moreover, in Europe and the United States, Bi Ming’s name is very famous. She completely dispelled the doubt that “women’s physical strength can’t compete in professional competitions”, and also allowed the competition areas to relax a lot of gender conditions for talent selection.
After all, everyone knows that the traffic and dividends behind female players represent a whole new blue ocean.
Now that LPL has become the first person to eat crabs, the world’s discussion continues to rise, and there are also a lot of business investments. Merchants are profit-seeking, and they see infinite potential in Bi Ming.
After PG won the summer championship, a luxury brand released a separate advertisement for Bi Ming’s ladies’ watch. Shortly after the launch, the watch was sold out in China.
This is so powerful that it is comparable to the appeal of traffic stars, making countless clubs jealous. But to get this level of traffic, they have no choice but to dig a foothold or discover powerful female players.
Back to reality, the blond boy finally welcomed someone who could end his embarrassment—
his teammates.
“Frank, what are you doing here, the draw for the knockout rounds is about to begin.” The boys said hello to the twins.
Little Golden Retriever was stunned for a moment, then stood up quickly: “I almost forgot!”
The twins looked up together: “Go back quickly, bye.”
The impatience in his tone made the little golden retriever a little helpless: “Hey, why are you more anxious than me?”
At this point his teammates sensed the subtlety of the atmosphere, and quickly waved goodbye to them, then dragged Frank away.
After the group left the restaurant, the teammate reminded Frank earnestly: “Don’t you realize that your friends don’t like you being near that table?”
“Why?” Frank felt wronged.
“Think about it, it’s very simple.” The teammate told him, “If Lin is our teammate and we eat together, and then a stinky boy tries to force us to join us, and keeps his eyes on Lin, what would you do?”
Frank was very immersive, his eyes widened: “Of course I’ll let him get out-“
“That’s not it.” The teammates laughed at him, “Frank, you were playing this kind of brat just now.”
“Uh,” the golden retriever got stuck, and after a while, he mumbled, “Well, I didn’t expect those two guys to be quite stingy.” Didn’t he just look at the goddess more than once.
But remembering just now, the goddess’s smile was too in line with his ideal of mate selection, like the wild rose unique to her hometown, fiery and fiery, as if it would set people on fire.
“Frank, what are you thinking? Your face looks so red…” The teammate’s voice sounded in his ear.
“Ah…Huh? Nothing!” The golden retriever shook his head and smiled, “I’m thinking about what opponents we will meet in the quarterfinals.”
“I just hope that I don’t meet those people just now.” The teammates sighed, “Their group stage was zero defeat, and even FQ was beaten badly.”
FQ, the No. 1 seed in the European division, is like a ravaged toy in the hands of PG. The lineup of the junglers in the two rounds is exchanged.
According to the words of the LEC (European Division): “It seems that we can only win skins in Snake this year.”
This sentence is full of sarcasm.
The European and American divisions are full of thirst for the LOL champion skin, but they have never won a championship in recent years.
And FQ is so good. Before the world game, they launched a team skin co-branded with the Snake game, and they also played Snake together on live broadcast, which led to a lot of resentment.
The ace core of the FQ team, the European popularity king, and the brown-haired little brother Spider, were also sprayed to the point where he couldn’t hold his head.
At this time, PG was also discussing the draw for the knockout round.
“According to the principle of group avoidance, we may only face three teams: R9 in the North American division, SLE in the European division, and our old friend WOW.” Shi Zhong glanced at the twins, “That person just now was the mid laner of R9, How is his technique?”
Meng Dongliu put the bacon on the fork into his mouth and said while chewing: “It’s okay, I don’t have to choose the strength, otherwise my brother and I would not have asked him to live broadcast before.”
“But the whole team…it’s at the level of TUT.” Meng Xishang added, “You know Brother Zhong, the management in North America is loose, and the training volume is very small. It has been no different from the wild card division in recent years.”
League of Legends is a team game. There is no shortage of talent and skills to be selected as a professional player, and the reason why the Twins do not want to stay in North America is because the environment is too easy, so it is impossible to achieve results in the World Championship.
“Don’t let your guard down,” Bi Ming reminded with her eyes lowered, “Many teams will start to use the bottom of the box in the knockout rounds, and it is not uncommon for the boat to capsize in the gutter.”
“Sister, don’t worry, things like tactics will trouble Pyo.” Meng Dongliu shrugged with a smile, “We just need to play our own.”
Li Dingbei pondered for a moment, and nodded, “Everyone should play normally.”
It’s not the PG that should be afraid, but the team that draws them.
After the meal, everyone was going to take the elevator back to the room to watch the live broadcast of the lottery, but they met a group of players with Asian faces at the elevator entrance.
They spoke in Korean.
Shi Zhong had already recognized them, and those people were wearing VT uniforms.
After discovering Bi Ming and the others, the players on the opposite side were also stunned, and then fell into the cold field.
VT had a strong momentum in the year of Shi Zhong’s debut. The glory of two consecutive championships made them a legend in the LOL world, and the name of “the strongest team in the world” resounded all over the world.
And it was Shi Zhong and BU, who were born out of nowhere, who slaughtered the “world’s No. 1 team”. So far, VT has not recovered its popularity in its heyday, so VT’s first reaction to seeing Shi Zhong was silence. .
No one on both sides spoke, not even a chat.
After the elevator door opened, everyone walked in.
The passenger elevator installed in the hotel is limited to 10 people, and there are five people on both sides of them. The sum should be just right.
But the elevator could not be closed, showing an overload reminder.
Bi Ming felt crowded at first, thinking about waiting for the next trip, but just about to go out, she heard a low-pitched Korean voice from behind—
“Women just go out.”
Bi Ming looked back and saw a huge boy talking to his teammates, but his tiny eyes were looking at her.
Shi Zhong frowned. When he was in BU, he played well with the top laner in Korea. He had learned some Korean for daily communication, so he naturally heard the provocation just now.
“This keeps ringing, why don’t we wait for the next ride?” Gemini and Li Dingbei didn’t understand any Korean at all. At this time, they were thinking about changing the elevator. After all, they couldn’t spend all their time here.
Shi Zhong said, “Wait.”
Bi Ming noticed his cold tone and glanced at him sideways.
Shi Zhong’s sharp eyes fell directly on the fat man in the corner, and he said in standard Korean: “The one who should go should be yourself, Kim Ji-hoon.”
The atmosphere in the elevator was suffocating.
The named Fatty is VT’s top laner. The year he joined VT just happened to catch up with VT’s double championship. Later, the team members changed frequently. Therefore, except for the double-champion mid laner, he is the oldest in the team.
When Shi Zhong debuted, the fat man had already won the world championship, so he completely ignored Shi Zhong as a “junior”.
Moreover, when he saw Shi Zhongyingjun’s face, he was unhappy, and subconsciously retorted: “It turns out that LPL players are such rude guys…”
“The real rude person is you.” Shi Zhong said coldly, “The ten-person elevator will be overloaded because one person takes the weight of two people, and that person is obviously you, not my teammate. “
Li Dingbei and the twins also reacted to each other, and they definitely didn’t say anything good.
“Zhixun, don’t talk about it, give the elevator to them.” VT’s mid laner, the man who was once known as the strongest mid laner in the league, and who is still on an equal footing with Shi Zhong, finally spoke up.
“Brother Junying, but…” Fatty glared at Shi Zhong angrily, “But they came from behind.”
“Shut up, let’s go.” The VT mid laner, whose real name is Zheng Junying, a man whose ID is (Crown), gave Fatty a cold look, “Who told you to keep your mouth shut?”
Fatty is not afraid of anyone, just the mid laner, so he can only shut up at this moment.
Just as the VT crowd got out of the elevator, Shi Zhong said in Korean, “Player Kim Zhixun, you haven’t apologized to her yet.”
The mid laner on the opposite side and the fat man top laner didn’t expect him to be unrelenting.
Bi Ming glanced at Shi Zhong, curled her lips, and quickly continued: “Although I don’t know this person named Jin… but I do need an apology.”
Bi Ming’s words were like sharp blades, which made VT unacceptable.
“Hey, don’t be too aggressive, you woman!”
“Brother Zhixun didn’t say anything, and in the LCK, you have no right to be here at all.”
VT’s other teammates also spoke to their top laners.
Shi Zhong stared coldly at the VT crowd on the opposite side, and finally his eyes fell on the single person on the opposite side: “Is that how you let your teammates bully the players of other teams?”
The mid laner responded indifferently: “Don’t increase the nature of this matter, we have also made concessions.”
“Concession?” Bi Ming chuckled, “You are too arrogant to discriminate against women in the elevator, and you still want to leave with confidence after the end?”
“It’s a fact that female players are not qualified to play in the LCK.” The mid laner looked at the blue-eyed indifferently.
“She is from our division.” Shi Zhong stopped in front of Bi Ming, his voice even colder, “What does it have to do with your LCK?”
Bi Ming sighed and pulled the man’s sleeve: “Forget it, let them go, I don’t want to breathe the same air as these people.”
Shi Zhong lowered his head to meet her eyes, and saw the heavy mist inside, as heavy as a dark cloud over the city.
“But they don’t respect you.” Shi Zhong didn’t really care who got on the elevator first, but he did mind that the other party treated Bi Ming so contemptuously.
“Those people won’t apologize. They despise women from the bottom of their hearts.” Bi Ming shook her head, her brows and eyes were as cold as frost, “It’s okay, they will regret it later.”
In the end, VT refused to apologize, and Bi Ming was no longer uncommon here, and the two sides broke up unhappily.
The other three people in the elevator who did not understand Korean the whole time also guessed a bit of meaning from the conversation just now.
Especially after getting a complete explanation, everyone has a bad feeling for this Korean team.
Li Dingbei was silent, but the fat man’s face flashed repeatedly in his mind – is this the top order of VT?
The twins felt that the Korean team had a bag in their head: “VT refused to make an appointment with us for a training match before, as if he was afraid that we would learn their routines. Now they look down on their sister, are they going to heaven?”
“It’s just a frog at the bottom of a well.”
And this episode, everyone who holds grudges will not forget it. If it weren’t for the regulations of the quarter-finals, the first place in each group must avoid each other, and PG can’t wait to play VT immediately the next day.
The draw results came out that day.
They faced R9 in Group A, the No. 1 seed in the North American division.
In the room, the R9 crowd wailed—
“It’s over, it’s all your crow’s mouth, Luiz!”
“If you want to blame Frank, he has to sit at the PG table today, and he definitely has the curse of PG!”
“Frank you son of a bitch!”
The teammates frantically rubbed the little golden retriever sitting on the carpet.
On the other hand, there was a hint of blush on the pale face of the little golden retriever, and the picture of him going to shake hands with the opponent after winning the game appeared in his head.
Lin’s hands should be very slippery, right? Maybe still delicious?
“Hey Hey…”
other people:? ? ?
Is this kid freaked out?
“Frank, are you alright?” The teammate pushed him.
Little Golden Retriever shook his head and grinned: “No, I’m looking forward to it.”
The teammates looked at Frank’s energetic appearance, helpless and funny.
“You’re not worried at all? That’s the PG nicknamed ‘Team Universe’!”
“So what?” The blond boy looked up suspiciously, “We’re not bad either.”
In the eyes of his own talented mid laner, his teammates felt relieved.
Yes, their R9 is the No. 1 seed in North America no matter what.
Although PG is very strong, but… timid before fighting is not their style.
***
After the group stage, the promotional video for the knockout round will also start shooting. Fortunately, there are still a few days before the knockout round, so the team members all took the time to go to nearby scenic spots to shoot videos.
PG went to an abandoned pier less than 30 minutes away from the hotel.
This pier is located on the shore of Lake Michigan in Chicago. The huge lake cannot see the shore, and the shimmering water looks like a real sea, especially the fine white sand by the lake, which is soft and comfortable to step on with bare feet.
Bi Ming and the others came here early in the morning, and it was still dark, but after training all night, they felt that the shooting time was too tight, so they decided to go back to sleep after shooting, and just happened to be able to watch the sunrise by the lake.
Due to the hurry, the beach shoes were not brought. After two steps, the twins began to protest that the shoes entered the sand. Finally, they played together, simply took off their shoes and socks, and walked barefoot on the white sand.
The photographer suggested: “Everyone go to the beach, I will follow you from behind, it will be more natural. When the sun comes out later, remember… oh, don’t go so fast!”
The twins rushed to the front, pointing to the artificial trestle that extended in front—
“Let’s go over there, the view is better.”
Li Dingbei frowned at the back: “Can you stand? It looks a little dangerous.”
“Okay,” Bi Ming scrutinized, “below are all newly painted iron supports, which should be maintained by someone.”
The iron bridge is covered with wooden boards and extends far away from the shore.
When the breeze came, Bi Ming picked up a little bit of broken hair on the side of her ear, pulled it behind her ear, raised her eyes and looked at the end of the huge lake like the sea, where there was a thick cloud, with a light orange glow.
The rising sun is slowly dipping from the indigo clouds of the same color as the water and the sky.
Behind them, the photographer recorded the pictures of the five people watching the sunrise together in the camera as editing material.
In the future, this seaside sunrise photo will also become a group memory cherished by countless fans.
At this time, Bi Ming suddenly cleared his throat and took two steps back.
“A small question for interviewing everyone. If you retire in the future, what do you want to do?”
The other four looked back at her with different eyes.
Soon, someone broke the silence.
“It should be playing games…” Meng Dongliu was the first to speak, and he seemed to be thinking seriously, “It’s not like playing lol, but a more… advanced open-ended game?”
Meng Xishang raised his lips and patted his brother’s shoulder: “There is nothing like what you think on the market.”
“Then open a game company, and you can invent anything you want to play.” Meng Dongliu nodded, showing his cute little tiger teeth, “How about it, isn’t it cool?”
“You can try.”
The two boys with similar faces laughed at the same time, as light and carefree as the wind.
Huge net worth, so that they don’t have to worry about money, and it seems that they want to open a game company just casually.
Bi Ming smiled and looked at Li Dingbei, and the other party scratched his head in confusion: “Me? Maybe…I will continue to work related to sports.”
Immediately, a soft curiosity appeared on his solemn face: “What about you, Lin Nan?”
“I should be similar to you.” Bi Ming rolled her eyes, then turned to look at the last one, “Okay, our most mysterious one, what are your plans?”
Shi Zhong’s family background has never been revealed. Even if he won the championship two years ago, no one could find his family to interview.
“If you retire, go back to study first.” Shi Zhong thought for a moment, not knowing what to think, his thin lips hooked, “Let’s see the situation later.”
Meng Xi Shang secretly complained: “Brother Zhong is selling off again.”
“Get used to it,” Meng Dongliu sang with his brother, “Anyway, our captain is an old riddle man.”
Shi Zhong smiled without saying a word, with an unmoving posture.
The rising sun on the horizon is getting higher and higher, and the golden sunlight falls on the entire pier, as well as everyone’s faces.
The twins couldn’t help but say at the same time:
“The sun is coming out.”
“So pretty, like melted gold foil ice cream!”
“Meng Dongliu, don’t just think about eating—”
“After the finals, I’ll take you to eat the best cheese pizza in the world!”
“Did you book the finals directly?”
“Sure, because we are all so strong… Also, I want to win the championship with my sister.”
“It should be with everyone, don’t make a slip of the tongue…”
The voices of the two became lower and lower, and in the end, they both looked at Bi Ming next to him nervously.
The woman’s skin looked dazzling and dreamy with the golden light of the morning sun.
“I’m very confident.” She didn’t seem to pay attention to the special meaning of their conversation, her eyes kept looking at the distant sky, “I hope we can achieve our ideals in the future.”
“Sister Lin, what is your ideal?”
“Beyond the two consecutive championships and dominate the entire league.” Then talk about love, and the sleeping man will run away.
Li Dingbei thought about it: Sure enough, her ambition is to win the Triple Crown.
The twins looked at each other tacitly: surpassing the two consecutive championships… Wouldn’t it still take three years? There is still a lot of time, you can take your time.
Shi Zhong caught the most crucial point and frowned slightly.
If anything stands in her way, it will be crushed by her without hesitation.
For example, feelings are fragile and can easily destroy the stability of the team.
