March 18th is the registration time for the fierce competition qualifiers, but the Internet has become lively in the past few days. A bunch of teams whose names have never been seen put out overwhelming publicity in forums and post bars, hoping to grow before the competition starts.
By using your own reputation, you can put some pressure on your opponents in the same division.
The major offline Internet cafes were also as busy as if they were on a holiday at this time. The entrances were decorated with lights and banners to welcome teams participating in the qualifiers to play games in their Internet cafes.
The conditions given by Internet cafes are very favorable. Not only can the competition teams use high-configuration computers for free, but they will also promote the teams in the venue. If they advance high, they can also get rewards. Some Internet cafes even stated that if they can enter the top seven of the region,
Just giving tens of thousands of yuan in cash subsidies to the team made many ordinary players sigh.
By this time, Lu Yunqian had already returned to school, and had resumed her life between school and the East Garden Community. Internet cafes gathered around the university, and banners for the team competing from home could be seen almost everywhere on her way to school. She would compete fiercely in the qualifiers.
The atmosphere at the start of the game was even more exciting than the sixth NFL kickoff.
"Boss, boss, I want duck intestines and duck neck, and by the way, a duck rack!" Lu Yunqian rushed to Zhou Heiya's shop after school and shouted to the boss with her mouth watering.
"Haha, little girl, school has started." The boss skillfully took out three boxes and handed them out to the counter and said kindly, "Eat less spicy food when the season changes. It will be troublesome if you get acne."
"Thank you boss, I'm a rough guy, I'm not afraid!"
Lu Yunqian smiled and waved to the boss, picked up the packed box and turned around to leave, but she caught a glimpse of the deserted entrance of Ziteng Internet Cafe. Compared with other Internet cafes, let alone banners, there was not even a poster about the qualifiers.
. It would not be strange in normal times, but she remembered that Ziteng Internet Cafe was an active Internet cafe with fierce battles. Why was it so quiet at this time?
Several dangerous things happened at Ziteng Internet Cafe, which were even put on the news as gossip by unscrupulous reporters, causing quite a stir. Moreover, these things were related to Lu Yunqian in some way. A trace of uneasiness suddenly passed through her heart, and
No longer having any scruples, he quickly walked towards the Internet cafe.
Pushing the door and entering, the Internet cafe was as usual. The tables and chairs were clean, the computers were neat, and there was no smell of smoke in the air, but a faint aroma of coffee. However, there were many fewer guests than before. Lu Yunqian looked around
After taking a look, I found that there was only one familiar figure in the circular counter in the center, it was Zhang Lu.
"Oh, you're here." Zhang Lu put down her phone and unexpectedly smiled at Lu Yunqian, "Would you like to get on the plane?"
"No, no, I just came to take a look." Lu Yunqian shook her head quickly, but realized that it was strange for her to speak like this. Who would come to an Internet cafe and not surf the Internet but just take a look, and quickly added: "Well, I see
There are no posters hanging outside, so aren’t you doing activities for the fierce qualifiers?”
"Well, we have our own sponsored team, so we don't need it." Zhang Lu walked out from behind the counter, took out a bottle of hot drink and handed it to Lu Yunqian, "Drink some water."
"Eh...how much?" Lu Yunqian quickly took the hot drink and asked awkwardly.
"No, you don't have to pay for anything you come to my place." Zhang Lu stood proudly beside her with her arms crossed in front of her chest, and the frosty expression on her face returned, making this sentence sound quite like that of a female CEO.
Order.
Lu Yunqian's face turned slightly red, she held the hot drink and said shyly: "Thank you, Sister Zhang Lu."
"By the way, you've also formed a team with that great master, right?" Zhang Lianlian asked expressionlessly.
"Um……"
"Have you signed up?"
"not yet."
Lu Yunqian sighed slightly when she thought of this. Li You hadn't appeared for a long time, and even Sister Qingchuan didn't know the news about him. Xiao Yuan said that the team's information was ready, but they would have to sign up after April.
, this period of time mainly focuses on adjusting the team's play style. Although everything in the team seems to have reasonable arrangements, she feels a little uneasy, perhaps because of worries about Li You and the team, or perhaps because of fear of future games.
.
Of course, these things cannot be told to Zhang Lu. Lu Yunqian cheered up and suddenly remembered that she just said that the Internet cafe has a sponsored team, so she asked curiously: "Does your team play games in the Internet cafe? They are former guests.
?”
"No, it's my little sister." Zhang Lu looked at the door with bright eyes. Although her tone was still cold, there was a proud smile on her lips, "She has always wanted to form a team for fun, and this time she found a few
My classmates went to sign up. My parents asked me to help look after my little sister, but I ended up becoming her sponsor."
"That's awesome. What's the name of your sister's team?" Lu Yunqian asked enviously. She still doesn't dare to tell her parents about forming a team for fear that they will object. But Zhang Lu's sister can get as big as her elder sister.
I am so happy with the support.
Zhang Lu withdrew her gaze from the door, her long eyelashes slightly drooped, and looked meaningfully at Lu Yunqian beside her. Her rosy lips slowly opened, and she said two words: "Open the sky."
"...!"
Lu Yunqian instantly turned to stone. Her mind was filled with the conversation she had with Leaning on the Window and Listening to the Wind, as well as the grievance posts between Kaitian and Yifu Yangexing some time ago. It took her a long while to realize what she was doing, and she asked stiffly, twitching the corners of her mouth: "Then,
The one leaning against the window and listening to the wind is... your little sister?"
"Well, her name is Zhang Lan." Zhang Lu seemed to have known everything for a long time. It was not surprising that Lu Yunqian knew the name "Yi Chuang Ting Feng" and continued, "My little sister originally wanted to apply for the East China Region to participate in the qualifiers. I
I advise her to change her competition area, otherwise she will definitely not get to the top seven of the regional competition this time."
"……Well."
Lu Yunqian had a trickle of sweat on her forehead. After being reminded by Zhang Lu, she realized that her future opponents would be teams from S City and the entire East China region. She might encounter those teams recruited from Internet cafes first, or she might meet her own.
classmates, and Zhang Lan’s Kaitian team. Thinking about this, her pressure suddenly increased dramatically, and she couldn’t even smile anymore.
"You have a great master, it's the other teams that you should worry about." Zhang Lu looked at the dingy and half-petrified little girl, and immediately read her thoughts from her expression, and couldn't help but comfort her, "Come on, the competition is necessary.
Find me the venue.”
"Thank you, Sister Zhang Lu. I've caused so much trouble to your Internet cafe before. I'm really sorry~" Lu Yunqian whispered, feeling very embarrassed.
"Who said you were causing trouble for me?" Zhang Lu suddenly became serious, "The great masters you brought with you can't be obtained from other Internet cafes with huge sums of money. I should just thank you. Besides, if it weren't for my little sister,
No, I still want to be your sponsor."
"Ah?" Lu Yunqian was startled. Looking at Zhang Lu's arrogant and cold face, she suddenly felt that this was actually the gentlest expression in the world. She couldn't help but said happily: "Haha, let Zhang Lan work hard, we are here
See you in the eight finals!"
"I will convey it to her. Also, if you meet on the field, there is no need to be polite to her." Zhang Lu said without a smile. (To be continued)
