You actually want me to...

The next day, when Roland finally stepped out of the club and basked in the first rays of morning sunlight, he was completely dazed.

Ah, this light.

Ah, this air.

Ugh, but I'm so damn sleepy!

Am I out of my mind to get up so early?

The guy told him he was coming back early this morning, but he didn't tell him the time. Then he couldn't be reached by WeChat or phone. He's been playing a game of disappearing without a trace.

Roland never imagined that after three months of being stuck at the club, the reason he would feel free again would be because he was out helping people collect packages.

Looking at the 6 o'clock time displayed on his phone, Roland thought, "I'm already up, I can't miss this chance to show off, right?" So...

Open the social media app and edit:

Have you ever seen the sun at six in the morning?

Then I added a picture of the sun outside and decisively clicked send.

Yes, it's six in the morning, not the four in the morning that every novel mentions in its limited edition.

As for why?

That's because this isn't Los Angeles. Four in the morning is indeed very late in Los Angeles, but in our country... sorry, at this hour it's barely time to put your phone down from the bed; you're far from asleep.

In some larger cities, where businesses don't officially open until midnight, 4 AM is precisely when they're at their busiest. If you ask them if they've ever seen the moon at 4 AM, they'll just think you haven't had enough to drink.

But six o'clock is different.

Those who stayed up late are already asleep, and those who went to work aren't up that early. The night market has basically closed down, with only a small group of people still struggling to stay awake, only to have their hard-earned points easily devoured by the early birds.

Look, this world is practically full of sturgeon rings.

It was while Roland was dozing off against the wall that he vaguely saw someone standing in front of him. Because he was too sleepy, Roland didn't open his eyes to see who it was. He just thought that it might be the team leader, Lao Guo, who had come back from buying groceries.

"What time is it, Lao Guo?"

"It's seven o'clock now, but I'm thinking if you keep sleeping, who knows?"

"Oh... it's only seven o'clock, then I'll... um???" Only at this moment did Roland realize the problem with the voice, and he suddenly looked up to see a familiar big-headed monster in his field of vision.

"Holy crap! Big Head, when did you start doing delivery services?"

???

"Seriously, can't you use your brain?!" Upon hearing this, Ah Shui's first thought was to kick this idiot to death. What the hell did he do, becoming a delivery driver? He's a champion AD carry, after all; going to be a delivery driver is just laughable.

Fortunately, Roland's drowsiness came and went quickly. After rubbing his eyes again and confirming that he hadn't mistaken the person, Roland jumped back a big step, then quickly pulled a mask out of his pocket, put it on, and cautiously looked at him.

"Wait a minute!"

"what?"

Have you had a nucleic acid test?

"I was tested three times in one week."

What color is your code?

"Greener than the top of your head!"

Roland breathed a sigh of relief after getting the answer he wanted. He was about to move forward to continue their old friendship when Ah Shui dodged his hand the moment he reached out and jumped back as well.

"Wait, have you had another nucleic acid test?"

"The club checked it once, and then the referee from the match organizer checked it again."

"What color is your code?"

"Greener than your fund!"

"Okay, safe."

"OK, everything is normal."

After saying that, the two immediately put their arms around each other's shoulders and walked into the house chatting and laughing, leaving Lao Guo and the driver, who had been watching the whole thing from the doorway, dumbfounded.

"Hey, Lao Guo, are you sure we didn't pick up the wrong person this morning? I remember you said Ah Shui was a pretty aloof person, didn't you?"

"Logically, we shouldn't have taken the wrong one, but now we're not sure. Should we go back to the airport and check again?"

. . . . . .

The meeting between the two did not cause much of a stir. Ah Shui is the kind of person who likes to show off, and you can't expect him to put on a show like a two-dimensional brotherly meeting.

Roland goes without saying.

Do you know how incredibly awesome the protagonist of this book's life is?

He's a tough guy who experienced the 99 Great War and witnessed five circuit breakers in the US stock market. We won't go into the details of the 99 event because it's too far in the past and involves confidentiality agreements, but do you know what five circuit breakers in the US stock market mean?

Even the legendary investor Warren Buffett, who has lived to such an old age, has only met him once.

Roland, at only 18 years old, had already witnessed it four times, highlighting the significant difference in their experiences.

There's nothing else to it but confidence.

On this side, the two masters of ostentation have successfully met.

On the other side, the TES management immediately released the news of Ah Shui joining TES. No one expected that this big guy, who had disappeared for nearly four months, would appear in the TES club without a word and had already joined.

On this day, the water ghost once again ascended to the top of the world!

[Wow, Ah Shui joined TES?! TES kept this up for a long time!]

【Wait, am I the only one who noticed how outrageous this lineup is? TES's weakness in the bot lane has been instantly filled. Knight + JackeyLove, what an amazing duo!】

[What a load of nonsense! One Ah Ban is already enough to make them look cool, and if you add Ah Shui on top of that, TES's bot lane will be a chaotic free-for-all every day!]

Good grief, did TES just force together a Ronin synergy?

Online, various rumors are circulating that TES may become the biggest dark horse. Meanwhile, within the team, JackeyLove officially met with everyone and completed the handover.

There was no other way; on the one hand, we had to reluctantly send off Emperor P.

That's how brutal esports is.

You asked if he was given a chance? Yes, he was. From the Demacia Cup to the first two months of the Spring Split regular season, P-King's appearances were already quite numerous. If this were in S7, a rookie AD who didn't deliver any outstanding performances in two consecutive games would have to step down.

But given so many opportunities, do you think he's done anything worthwhile?

That really doesn't exist.

He put in the effort and showed the right attitude, but ultimately lacked the talent, so his journey in the LPL came to an end. P-Emperor didn't have any open complaints about this, but he applied to return to the LDL, hoping that other teams would recognize his talent.

After all, he was once an ambitious e-sports player named Xiao Yan in his previous life, right?

Anyway, fortunes change every thirty years, and whether he achieves anything or gets a club to save him is really up to fate. Besides, LDL isn't entirely without a chance. Look at how long A-Zou was out of favor in the secondary league, but he was eventually brought back to LPL. In the end, it all comes down to the individual skill of the players.

Inside the room, the TES team was also touching and groping Ah Shui in various ways, as if they were looking at a panda, with each of them having a look of curiosity on their faces.

"Alright, now that Ah Shui has joined the team, I'll say a few words on behalf of the coach and also clarify our tactical approach for the future." Seeing everyone's attention focused on him, Roland stood up and began to introduce his partner to everyone.

"Ok?"

"As we all know, there are three major 'water products' in the world: the top three are Ganges water from India, Trump disinfectant, and Fukushima odorless water, which enjoy a wide audience and recognition around the world. However, what they don't know is that there is actually a fourth major water in the world, which is our Aquatic Water."

JKL: ? ? ?

"Here, let me explain why Ah Shui is called the fourth largest water in the world. Think back carefully, what were the things your elders liked to say about water when you were little?"

"Drink more...more water?"

"Congratulations, 369, that's Boiling Water. Big Head, you saw it, right? He was the one who suggested that I take command of the Boiling Water tactic. I didn't say a word. If there are any problems in the future, please refer to 369 directly. You two can negotiate yourselves."

? ? ? ? ? ?

369: As an individual?

. . . . . .

. . . . . .

. . . . . .

P.S.: The private thread is unblocked... but editing is still not allowed yet, which is pretty annoying.

PS2: If you can't find the chapter, try refreshing it a few more times. The review process has been quite chaotic lately, and you've probably seen a lot of their weird tricks.

PS3: Yesterday I spent half the day grinding the last map of Arknights, and cleared it with a full set of equipment and a full party. But when I woke up this morning, I found videos of three people clearing the map already available. I was so ashamed that I immediately jumped into a trash can.

First Encounter: Chapter Fifty-Eight: Defense to the Extreme is Offense

After a brief exchange, the group had made initial contact.

For the other three TES players, JackeyLove's addition is undoubtedly exciting. Their current lineup already shows that the club's goal this year is to win the championship, without engaging in any superficial things.

What's the scariest thing about switching teams when you're a professional player?

What I fear most is that before you come, they promise you all sorts of things, like how we'll strengthen the team, how we'll sign so-and-so, and how we'll be aiming for the championship this year. Then you believe them, you come, and it turns out you're just here to help others, acting like a team leader, a complete laborer, squandering your talent and form.

This is the most frustrating kind of situation, and quite a few well-known professional players have been fooled in this way. I won't name names, but you could pick out a bunch of veterans in the LPL who haven't retired even with your eyes closed.

"Enough with the talk, let's just play some practice matches and see if you've been slacking off these past four months. You seem to have gained a lot of weight."

"Shut up, you stinking dog. If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

"Then I was right. Is this water retention or just weight gain? Wait... could it be that you're already condensing your divine body ahead of schedule?"

"Get out of my way!"

After a brief period of playful banter, TES casually picked a scrim invitation and began preparations. Ever since the official Weibo account announced JackeyLove's joining the team, TES has been receiving scrim invitations non-stop. Now every team wants to know where TES's current level is. You know, the strategies used to deal with TES in the past may not be effective now.

After a brief period of consideration, White Crescent accepted JDG's invitation to a scrim match due to the overwhelming number of invitations.

During the Demacia Cup, they were thoroughly bullied by JGD.

The top lane couldn't beat the Duke with 369, and the middle and jungle couldn't close the gap, so it was purely beaten badly in the bottom lane. Ah Shui happened to come over, so we can directly see whether this weakness has changed.

After some communication, the two teams immediately opened the custom game and started playing.

Since it was a practice match and only meant to see how it went, both sides chose their lineups rather casually, and all eyes were on the bottom lane.

TES: Top lane Sett, Jungle Sejuani, Mid lane Irelia, Bot lane Miss Fortune + Braum
