Chapter 44: Master Lu's Dream Ends in Disappearance; If the Great Hero Were to Take Up His Hand, the Tragic Scene Would Be Complete (Please Read Further)
Zhou Li had a dream.

I dreamt that I was sitting on a green train.

Swaying, swaying, swaying~
In his dazed state, he seemed to hear someone calling his name.

"Zhou Li, Zhou Li... We've arrived at our stop, you can get off now."

He opened his eyes and saw Abu, wearing a black railway uniform, standing beside him.

"My grass!"

Zhou Li was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and sat up in bed.

He looked up and saw Abu's big face, and threw a punch at him.

"Hey, Brother Zhou, what are you doing!"

Abu rubbed his eyes, looking aggrieved.

"What the hell are you doing standing by my bedside in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?!"

Abu took out his phone and said pitifully:

"Brother Zhou, someone is looking for you."

"Find me?"

“Hmm,” Abu pulled up the chat history, “Someone asked Lili to play games.”

CLC player bench.

Lu Benwei held Uz's chubby little hand tightly.

"Hey bro, lend me two hundred yuan. I, Lu Benwei, promise to pay you back as soon as I get my salary next month."

Uzbekistan seemed somewhat conflicted in the face of Lu Benwei's request.

“I don’t even get a salary, and you earn over four thousand a month. Where does all your money go?”

Upon hearing Uz's words, Lu Benwei sighed impatiently.

"Sigh, you're still young, there are some things you don't understand."

Chris, who overheard their conversation, couldn't help but laugh.

"Your brother Lu Benwei's salary has been emptied by Sister Lili. People who don't know better would think he's on drugs."

Ever since Lu Benwei played games with that gaming companion named Lili last time, he's been hooked.

My daily training sessions turned into duo queueing with Lili to climb the ranks.

A single ranked match costs fifty yuan. For a high-intensity online player like Lu Benwei, his wallet would be empty in just a few days.

Upon hearing Chris's words, Uz instinctively clutched his pocket.

However, Lu Benwei suddenly knelt down before Uzbekistan.

"Little dog, you have no idea how bad I feel about losing the game. Without Lili comforting me, I'm really going to get depressed!"

WE Dormitory.

Zhou Li turned over.

"I won't answer, I'm tired from today's game."

Abu said "oh" but after a short while, he spoke again:

"He said he begged you, he'd die if you didn't play games with him."

"Then let him die."

"He said he'd give you extra money, a hundred per game."

"I wouldn't accept a single one for a thousand."

This time, Abu didn't speak, but instead played a voice message.

"Lili, do you even know who I am? I'm Lu Benwei, the professional player from CLC, you know me? Just play a couple of games with me, I'll beg you on my knees."

Hearing the voice coming from Abu's phone, Zhou Li was taken aback. After all, he had just had a verbal exchange with Lu Benwei on the field, and he was extremely familiar with Lu Benwei's voice and speaking habits.

Besides, Lu Benwei wasn't that popular at that time, and no one would be so bored as to deliberately imitate him.

Seeing that Zhou Li remained silent, Abu tentatively asked:

"Brother Zhou, what should we do?"

Block!

After blocking Lu Benwei's QQ account, Abu looked at Zhou Li with boundless admiration.

He felt that Lu Benwei was really pitiful, but at the same time he felt that Zhou Li was really amazing.

Poor Lu Benwei.

Not only was he brutally beaten by Zhou Li on the field.

They also had their money emptied by Zhou Li.

Now that he's blocked me tonight, I'm afraid even my feelings will be wasted.
-
June 22nd. Sunny. Today is the second day of the group stage, and I don't have to play. Big Nose seems anxious; he smashed the cast off his hand and set off with his arm still bandaged. I heard that the 60e fans cried and hugged each other when they saw Big Nose playing injured, all impressed by his dedication. Big Nose even picked Clockwerk, but ended up with nothing. This kid is too eager to prove himself. I have nothing to do in the dorm, so I can only enjoy Buffy's dance.

June 23rd. Cloudy. WE successfully advanced from the group stage; the domestic teams are still too weak. However, Big Nose's performance was poor, drawing angry criticism from fans who accused him of being a useless figurehead. Big Nose responded with high EQ, "Are you saying WE is a latrine?", which earned him the title of "animal" from netizens. IF was personally condemned by his fans (60e), and it's rumored that Smile fainted on stage from anger over IF's support.

June 24th. Rainy. Nothing much to do today; watching a Bukhara dance in the dorm.

June 25th. Rainy. Abu came to me, saying he'd been feeling lower back pain, weak legs, and lack of energy lately. I told him this was a normal phase of practicing archery, and that as long as he maintained his current rhythm of three times a day, his body would adapt over time and it would naturally get better. Under my tutelage, Abu is getting more and more audacious.

June 26th, sunny. WE narrowly advanced to the finals with a 3-2 score and will face Ehome for the championship tomorrow. Smile is carrying the team single-handedly, while Ruofeng is incredibly impressive; he's managed to play with a broken hand all this time – it's practically a medical miracle.

2012 years.

June 27th.

When Zhou Li walked out of the subway station, he saw Big Nose putting on a show for his fans outside the GTV studio.

Go Wind Team!

"Wind, don't push yourself, take care of yourself!"

"I'm so sad, Captain Feng, I'm crying so hard!"

Because of his hand injury, Big Nose has actually been with the team during the past few days of competition.

Joker was worried that if Ruofeng suddenly couldn't hold on, Zhou Li could step in and take over.

But the big nose seems remarkably resilient, having endured until now.

The minivan couldn't fit so many people, so Zhou Li had no choice but to take the subway to work.

With Big Nose returning to the game despite his injury, the little ripple he had made on the internet was quickly overshadowed by his dedication, seriousness, and passion for esports.

As a boss-level figure in the S2 world, Zhou Li had to give Big Nose a thumbs up; he really had some tricks up his sleeve.

However, Zhou Li was not worried.

Big Nose has always liked to portray himself as a tragic figure, but every time he messes up, it's because of that tragic persona.

In the WE lounge, Ruofeng appeared somewhat anxious.

His hand injury wasn't actually serious; it would have healed in a couple of days with rest.

But after seeing Zhou Li steal the spotlight, Big Nose couldn't sit still any longer.

After these two days of competition, my hand injury is actually showing signs of worsening.

Due to a hand injury, Ruofeng's performance in previous matches was not very good.

Now, facing Ehome, they have even less confidence.

It's important to understand that Ehome is not like those semi-professional teams or even internet cafe teams from before.

As the first professional League of Legends team in China, Ehome is more senior than WE in terms of seniority.

Furthermore, in their previous encounters, although both sides had their share of wins and losses, Ehome still held a slight edge.

Most importantly, whether or not they can win the TGA Grand Prix will directly determine whether WE can directly qualify for the S2 World Championship!
