[Esports] Team Leader Xie, your mid laner is causing trouble again.

As the economy builds up layer by layer, the damage also increases exponentially.

It can almost kill half a child with one hit, and squishy characters can't even withstand a single first skill.

Coupled with his unpredictable and elusive movement, Jin Ge, like a ghost, wields his twin swords and appears and disappears unpredictably in the canyon.

You never know which bush he'll jump out of next.

In less than twenty minutes, the score was 16/0/7.

All the doubts that had been voiced in the headphones were now silenced.

The jungler fell silent, and the marksman also kept quiet.

Only the centaur on the top lane, carrying a tank, was excitedly shouting as he pounded on the enemy crystal:

"So strong! So strong! So strong!"

The moment the crystal exploded, the word "Victory" appeared on the screen.

Jin Ge stood still, with a full stack of economic buffs on him, and his health bar barely moved.

Then, under the watchful eyes of her teammates and the nine people on the other side, she began to dance, staying true to her original intention.

Through the earphones, the horse-headed man laughed like a pig.

Li Zhi leaned back in her chair and lazily wiggled her fingers.

"Next game."

The training match was fast-paced with no halftime break, and the second game started very quickly.

This time, the jungler didn't try to give any more commands, and the chattering marksman also fell silent, bringing a rare moment of peace to the headphones.

The player in the top lane, however, was completely won over, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement: "Bro, what do you think I should play this game?"

Li Zhi didn't have a bad impression of him, and casually asked, "Do you know how to play rock-paper-scissors?"

"Yes!" The opponent quickly locked down the stone golem.

Li Zhi then locked up the Frost Witch and chuckled, "Let's go on a rampage."

Frost Witch and Stone Golem, heroes that veteran players will recognize, were a very strong combination in the old version of "Warriors of the Three Kingdoms".

Both heroes have strong crowd control skills. They can control the enemy one after the other and then finish them off with damage skills. They can almost always catch them and kill anyone who comes near.

The marksman, undeterred, began to question: "This is an old combo, it's been nerfed so badly, and you guys are still using this old strategy..."

But Li Zhi's skill in the previous game was obvious to all. He muttered a few words, then his voice grew softer and softer until he finally fell silent.

At the start of the game, after Li Zhi reached level four and fully charged his ultimate skill, he began to hang on the top lane.

In the first wave, the enemy tank moved forward, and the Malphite used his ultimate to knock it up. The Ice Witch followed up with a combo, and the two of them finished off the enemy.

In the second wave, Li Zhi led the jungler to flank from the jungle, and the three of them dove the tower, resulting in another clean and decisive kill.

After two waves, the enemy tanks completely chickened out, not even daring to leave the towers, and cowered behind them.

Unable to catch anyone, the little witch simply jumped onto the stone golem's shoulder, waved her wand, and commanded the burly man to run all over the map.

After ganking the top lane, they ganked the mid lane, then moved into the jungle, killing wherever they went, creating a bloodbath in the Rift.

The stone man was completely immersed in the thrill of killing. His burly figure, mimicking Kurichi, began to dance on the corpses opposite him, emitting suppressed, sinister laughs.

"Awesome! So awesome! We haven't gotten this many kills in the top lane since the patch!"

Li Zhi listened to the wailing and howling coming from her headphones, and expressionlessly controlled the little witch to freeze another one.

The second game ended even faster than the first.

Two wins in a best-of-three series, there's no need to start a third game.

Li Zhi won MVP twice in a row, and his record was dazzling on the results panel.

The moment I took off my headphones, shouts from the audience flooded in.

"Where the blade points, there lies the path home!" This is a line from Jin Ge.

Some people were shouting the Ice Witch's lines, "Don't run away, play a little longer~", which caused bursts of laughter.

Sounds rose and fell, a cacophony of applause and whistles emanating from every corner of the venue.

I haven't felt this joy of winning a game and being cheered for so long.

With her nerves so excited, Li Zhi's fingertips felt numb.

It felt like going back to two years ago when QW dominated the game, and the whole stadium was chanting his ID.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at the seat below the stage.

It was empty; the man who had been standing there was nowhere to be seen.

Li Zhi pursed her lips, stood up, shook hands with her opponent, and left the stage.

Shi Kai was waiting for him offstage. Seeing the children come offstage, he laughed heartily and patted each of the youth training team members on the shoulder:

"How about it, kids? Pretty good, right? This outside help I found is great, isn't it?"

The boys immediately started chattering excitedly.

"That's incredible, bro! How did that Ember Spirit manage to roll without taking any damage?"

"I was completely stunned by the Frost Witch's predicted freeze."

"Bro, could you teach me the rhythm of that combo?"

The opposing mid-laner also came over, standing on the periphery of the crowd, staring intently at Li Zhi, his face filled with admiration.

Kurichi had just won the game and her adrenaline was soaring. Now, surrounded by a group of people praising her, her ears turned slightly red, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

Shi Kai stood aside, watching him, and understood perfectly well what was going on.

He knows this kid too well. "Does it remind you of your professional gaming days?"

Kurichi nodded honestly.

Yes, there is.

It's exhilarating, inspiring, and makes you want to fight tooth and nail to win.

That feeling emanated from the very marrow of my bones, and there was no stopping it.

He loves winning and the feeling of being overwhelmed by cheers.

I enjoy the thrill of moving through the canyon like a ghost, manipulating my opponents with ease.

But is that enough?

In the past two years, he has been like a coward, avoiding even stepping into the professional arena in an attempt to escape that period of his life.

Can he really maintain the same passion for esports that a professional player should have?

Does Li know?

He didn't know if he could do it, so he didn't want to make any promises to anyone.

Promises are too heavy a burden, so heavy that he was crushed by them once and didn't want to try again.

He glanced at the faint expectation in Shi Kai's eyes and shook his head apologetically.

"Let me think about it some more, Brother Shi."

After seeing Shi Kai off, Li Zhi prepared to quietly leave and go home.

He turned around, but before he could take a step, a slender figure stood directly in front of him.

He was startled and instinctively took half a step back.

The newcomer was dressed in a bright pink hoodie and sweatpants, so bright it hurt the eyes, yet he had an exceptionally handsome and pleasant appearance, like a male protagonist from a shoujo manga.

At this moment, those bright, sparkling eyes were gazing expectantly at Li Zhi, like a giant Alaskan Malamute wearing a pink leash.

Li Zhi hesitated for two seconds: "...Who are you?"

The woman clutched her chest dramatically, her expression slightly heartbroken, her voice tinged with resentment: "Honey, why are you turning your back on me like this?"

After a two-second pause, Kurichi realized what was happening: "...Fish?"

Ji Yu nodded, a bright smile spreading across her face. She looked Li Zhi up and down, her surprise undisguised.

"I never expected... that you, my husband, are an Omega."

Li Zhi's face darkened a shade.

He doesn't have the fetish of being called "husband" by an Alpha, and even if he's wearing pink clothes, it's unforgivable.

Just as he was about to utter a few curses, he suddenly heard slightly hurried footsteps beside him.

Immediately afterwards, a gloomy voice sounded from behind him, as if wrapped in a thin layer of ice:

"Who are you calling 'husband'?"
