You actually want me to...

Although the ending was good, the initial intentions were extremely bad.

"I trusted you so much, and you just wanted me to be the one to block the hook?"

"Yes, isn't that obvious?"

"What? You sound quite proud of yourself."

"That's right. Apart from you, I don't have the confidence that anyone else can catch the hook so accurately. Otherwise, I would definitely have let Brother Ka do it."

JKL: ? ? ?

Seeing the look of pure praise on this guy's face, JKL immediately wanted to grab his shoe and smash it across his face.

What kind of people are they?

Considering his image, JKL ultimately restrained his temper.

Then Roland slipped away...

Having suffered a great loss last time, he never expected to be outmaneuvered by the English channel. This time, he quietly slipped out first, grabbed his peripherals, and gave White Crescent a show of acting first and asking questions later, indicating that he was going back alone.

There's nothing I can do; the interviews are just really boring.

There weren't many viewers, and the questions they asked were all awkward. To make matters worse, the competition wasn't very prestigious, so you couldn't even brag. What was the point of the interviews?

If this were an MSI champion, he would have been eager to interview them.

To reiterate, BO1 and BO5 are one thing, but having blind pick and not having blind pick are another. This time they benefited slightly from the tournament format. If the format were like MSI, where the required number of games is clearly defined, it's hard to say whether LCK's performance would be affected.

But what does this have to do with him, a workaholic who clocks out on time?

Roland happily hailed a taxi and, humming a tune, began planning what to eat that evening.

This time, the driver who accepted the order was quite talkative. Since not everyone plays LOL, the driver didn't recognize Roland and chatted with him as if he were just an ordinary customer.

"Master, how's business this year?"

"It's no good. The natural disaster has made things much worse. I used to be able to make several hundred yuan a day, but now it's hard to say if I can even make a hundred. It's tough work." The driver replied with a wry smile.

After all, ride-hailing services operate in enclosed spaces, making it difficult to survive during natural disasters.

"So how will you get through this?"

"How can we survive? We ordinary people don't ask for anything, just enough to eat, for our children to go to school, and for our elders to have money for medical treatment. What else can we ask for? Although the natural disaster has caused a great impact, compared to those high-risk areas, we are already considered fortunate. Look, I can still come out to work."

"Me? I just want to work hard and earn more money these next few years. Once I've saved up 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, I'll go back to my hometown and open a barbershop or something to live a simple life. Sometimes I think, why does life have to be so tiring? Of course, I'm already old, but you're still young, so don't follow my example." After saying that, the driver laughed and patted his steering wheel.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Roland could clearly see the expectation and anticipation in his eyes from his smile and gaze.

"This idea sounds great. Master, you have a really good personality."

"No, it's just that I like chatting with people, you know? If out of five passengers there's one who's willing to chat with me like you, I'd be ecstatic."

"It can't be that bad. I think everyone is pretty easy to communicate with. These days, most people taking taxis are young people, right?"

"That's because you haven't seen enough. The economy isn't doing well right now, and everyone has their own troubles. But those of us in the service industry are more likely to become targets for their anger, you know? Let's not even talk about those who skip out on their orders. It's okay if they have a bad temper, since it's just one trip. But some people can be aggressive."

"There's nothing to be afraid of. In a society governed by the rule of law, justice may be delayed but it will never be absent. If it attacks you, it will naturally face its retribution."

"Yes, I also believe this is a society governed by the rule of law. Everything this country has done during natural disasters has always given me unwavering faith in it. But it's too big for it; it may take some time to react to and deal with some minor issues, which is understandable. But have you ever considered whether this delayed justice is truly justice for the victims?"

The June wind blew gently as the vehicle moved forward, but Roland inside the car recalled a news report he had seen in his previous life and remained silent for a long time.

"But I'm still willing to believe in it."

"Of course, so I'm still driving a ride-hailing car here."

"But you just now..."

"It's just a little feeling. In fact, I still want to believe in the goodness and beauty between people. Just like those harmful people I just told you about, they are only a very small minority among all the passengers I have met."

"Well, Master, you're quite philosophical."

"Just my humble opinion, nothing more." With that, the two of them laughed heartily.

During the brief conversation, the vehicle had unknowingly arrived at its destination. Although the journey was short, the exchange made Roland feel that he had seen something different.

He couldn't explain it clearly, but he definitely understood it.

"Young man, there will always be some bad things in this world, but at the same time, there are always people in this world who are constantly working hard to analyze and eliminate those bad things."

"Yes."

"But at the same time, there are also many people in this world who are constantly burning themselves out in order to change these bad things. Like this natural disaster, I have driven a young civil servant who was on duty all night on the highway and fell asleep as soon as he got in the car; I have also driven an elderly retired doctor who was too old and had difficulty walking, but still insisted on rushing to the front line; and many other professions. They have been telling me with their actions that this world is actually getting better."

"Yes, I've learned a lot."

"So keep going! The future of this world is ultimately in the hands of you young people. I may be old by then, but perhaps I will see a better society."

"You're too modest. You look perfectly healthy."

"Haha, alright, just take it as me having a fit and rambling on. Actually, I don't even know what I'm saying. As you get older, it's easy to lose your temper. That's all for now. If I get another job from you next time, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Okay, because of what you said, I'll make sure to run into you next time."

"Let's go."

"Alright, take care and be careful."

Metamorphosis: Chapter Ninety-Five: AD's User Manual

Under the bright moonlight, a noisy sound occasionally drifted from the TES base. But if you listened carefully, you might discover that there were some different emotions mixed in.

"So you're saying none of you want it?!"

"Then I'll pay!"

(Glances at the cards)

"I'll unleash something big, it'll scare you to death!"

(Draw two cards)

(Slams down hard)

"Snapped!"

"One against four!"

You can have a weak hand, but you can't lose your momentum. Roland was very perceptive in this regard, which startled the player before him.

Yes, on the very night the MSC tournament ended, the TES team unusually skipped training and instead played card games.

no way.

The tournament is about to start again, and we won't go far. The victory in the MSC isn't very impressive. After winning the game, we can't go out to have fun or go out for a big meal. Plus, everyone except Ka Ge is single, so we can only stay in the dorm playing cards.

"You! If you had any brains at all, we'd all be out drinking and singing right now. And you're giving orders? Where's your brain?" JKL was getting angrier and angrier as he looked at the bad hand he was in.

How could anyone be so stupid?

Just to avoid a post-match interview, this guy forgot about the awards ceremony. Even though the trophy is just a piece of paper, at least we should go through the formalities and take a picture.

God knows how upset they were when they were about to take a group photo after the game and found one person was missing.

"I forgot... I was thinking there weren't any trophies on stage." Roland scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He had just returned to the club after sneaking out when he immediately received a phone call and was scolded, forcing him to obediently take a taxi back.

Nothing.

Although it was just an entertainment competition, and he was eliminated by the organizers on the first day, there was still an awards ceremony. It's just that the award was so insignificant that he subconsciously ignored it.

"Shut up, just take the blame. You made us wait there for so long, and now look what happened. All the restaurants are packed during mealtimes, and even the food stalls are closed. We have to go back to the dorm and eat spicy hot pot after such a great championship."

"Ahem, my goodness, my goodness, this meal is on me."

"No, the next meal has to be yours too."

"Okay, let's call it even."

After paying a heavy price, Roland finally calmed the guy down. Since he was in the wrong, he was too embarrassed to say anything more.

Meanwhile, the TES team's hero mic call was finally released online by the club. As countless fans excitedly clicked in, ready to shower JackeyLove with praise, the harsh truth ultimately made them realize their own ignorance.

I'm speechless! This is allowed?!

[I originally thought JKL had mastered the instructions for using the top lane, but it turns out it was Banhuang who mastered the instructions for using JKL. What a miscalculation!]

[How incredibly high must one's trust be to believe he'll answer QQ?]

If FPX saw this thing, they'd probably be so angry they'd smash their computers, right?

Laughing, it's unbelievable that such a simple shot would reveal so much rotation after the match. And among them, FPX's support player, Si Shao, was furious.

He originally thought he lost to JKL's moment of brilliance.

And now you're telling him he lost because of JKL's passive skill?

Who the hell can I complain to?

"This support player is truly a genius, all I can say is that."

"Indeed, he doesn't do any of the things that are common in the mortal world." Now he dares to let JKL flash to catch the hook, and he doesn't even want to think about what the other side will do next time. It's really outrageous. It's outrageous to the extreme.

There's nothing we can do; TES is just that outrageous right now.

Even though their lineup is already so impressive, they still prefer to play dirty and underhanded tactics, targeting the enemy's lower body. It's impossible for them not to be annoyed.

"Actually... have you ever considered another possibility?"

"What."

"Could another reason why they don't confront us head-on be that they haven't truly grasped the answer yet?"

......

"I see."

In fact, FPX's guess was correct.
