Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

The third floor of the Internet cafe is brightly lit.

Seven teenagers are concentrating on working on their computers.

Five of them came from the same orphanage, and two came there on their own and were kept after undergoing rigorous training.

Captain Wei Mingyue calmly commanded: "Xiaodong, go to C079. There is a sharpshooter ambushing there. You don't need to kill him by force. Just let him leave there."

"Miaomiao, go to B081 and pick up Xiaoqi. Get the head of the opposing priest and leave. Don't linger in the fight."

Zhang Yong and Lu Jinzhao stood at the stairs and looked at each other for a long time, then laughed and said, "When you said someone was coming to see me, I was very puzzled. But when I saw them, I realized that you really have good vision. They will definitely have a place in the league! It is not impossible for them to directly reach the finals and get the top three next season."

Lu Jinzhao was happy: "There is no other way. Other teams are unwilling to sign, and they are unwilling to go solo. So why not just build a team? Anyway, as long as the personnel and equipment are qualified, they can apply to the alliance. You have the equipment, and I just happen to have some spare money."

Zhang Yong was also happy: "I'll practice in the qualifying matches, maybe I can get a ticket to officially enter the league. But it's also thanks to you for being an online coach. Otherwise, I don't know where to look for a coach. Those who retired in recent years have been hired back by their own teams, or they have gone to do live broadcasting."

"By the way, the kids keep asking me when you're coming to see them."

"I'm here, aren't I?"

After the game, Wei Mingyue took off her headphones and encouraged her teammates: "Well done! Keep up the form we are in now, and we will definitely get a good place in tomorrow's offline competition! No, we must win the championship! When Brother Chao comes to see us, we will show him the trophies on the wall!"

"Where is the trophy wall?" Lu Jinzhao walked into the training area with a smile.

"Ahhhh Chao-nii!"

"Brother Chao, you finally came to see us!"

Several people took off their headphones, stood up and surrounded him, chatting one after another, just like a group of chirping little sparrows hanging on the branches.

"I heard that you have a competition tomorrow, so I came to see." Lu Jinzhao touched their heads one by one.

"A team that doesn't want to win the championship is not a good team. Don't worry, Brother Chao, we will do our best to sprint for the championship!" Wei Mingyue vowed solemnly.

“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best.”

Miaomiao raised her hand: "Brother Chao, I have learned all the combo techniques you sent us last time. It is quite simple to use on the ground, but it is not very coherent in actual combat. Can you give me a solo and teach me on the spot?"

"Okay, come on."

Xiaodong quickly raised his hand when he heard this: "Then I'll get in line first! I want to solo with Brother Chao too!"

Wei Mingyue: "The third one is me!"

The battle lasted until late at night.

Zhang Yong brought a large portion of midnight snack upstairs and placed seven or eight paper bags on the large table. "Come and have some midnight snacks to relax, then go to rest. You have to go to the competition tomorrow, and you can't do without a good rest!"

"That's all for today." Lu Jinzhao took off his headphones and tapped the desktop: "Okay, let's go have a midnight snack and go to bed early after that."

"Brother Chao, don't you consider entering the professional circle?"

"No, I play games just for fun. I don't want to stay up all day and night fighting with others on foreign servers."

Chitose added, "Besides, we don't have much time left. We still need to go around and experience new things and enjoy life! We should work hard to make money and build a career, and try to retire in one last year to travel around the world!"

"Will you come to watch our game tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Great!"

After the children went to bed, Lu Jinzhao and Zhang Yong each held a can of beer and leaned on the railing of the rooftop to watch the night view.

Zhang Yong took out an invitation from his pocket and handed it to Lu Jinzhao.

"Invitation?" Lu Jinzhao took it, unfolded it with one hand, and saw the contents clearly. He was a little surprised: "Are you getting married? I haven't heard that you have a girlfriend."

"Oh, everyone has a first love." Zhang Yong gulped down the rest of the beer and crushed the can. "After graduating from university, she went abroad to pursue her dreams. My family didn't support me studying abroad, so we separated. Last year, she returned to China after completing her studies. It just so happened that I was unmarried and she was unmarried, so we got together again. Over the years, her parents and I have grown old, and we no longer object to our relationship."

He changed the subject: "If you are free, come and have a drink at the wedding. If you are not free, forget it. I know you are busy."

Lu Jinzhao shook the jar in his hand and said, "Don't worry, whether you come or not, I will definitely pack a big gift for you."

"Tsk, Brother Yong, do I need this little money from you? If you are not here, then don't come."

"Really? You don't even want the first limited edition set of Admiral Seal figures?"

"!! Then this is still possible. Did you really get the whole set? Don't you dare bully me! I have cleaned up the living room and am waiting for you! I will go and order a glass display cabinet right now! No, I'd rather put it on the first floor so that customers who come online can see it!"

"By the way, I'll prepare some change for you, so that you don't have no money for cigarettes after you get married."

"Don't talk nonsense, kid. Your sister-in-law is very gentle and would never treat me like this. By the way, where are you staying tonight? I'd better get you a private room."

"Row."

The next day, Lu Jinzhao and his team members boarded the bus rented by Zhang Yong and headed to the competition venue. It was not an official competition, so the entry threshold was relatively broad, and anyone over 16 years old could participate. When he arrived at the competition venue, Lu Jinzhao put on a baseball cap, a black mask, large black-framed plain glasses, and wrapped himself tightly in a black coat.

The children carried their peripheral bags and followed the staff's instructions to the lounge. Non-players were not allowed to approach. Lu Jinzhao reminded them not to eat or drink in the lounge, and went to the viewing area with Zhang Yong.

"I heard that there are professional teams participating in this competition. I don't know why they are here." Zhang Yong looked at the schedule left and right, and finally pointed at the name of one of the teams: "This one, Hunters. I heard that the alliance is about to start the last-place elimination mechanism. Their performance has been too poor for several consecutive years, and there is a high probability that they will be the first team to be eliminated..."

Zhang Yong was talking when he was bumped into by someone and fell backwards. Lu Jinchao quickly grabbed his arm and straightened him up. Zhang Yong stood up, looked back, and shouted angrily: "Hey! You bumped into someone, do you know that? You should apologize if you bump into someone! Can you be a little polite?"

There were seven or eight people on the opposite side. The one walking at the end was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He turned around, holding a toothpick in his mouth, with his team jacket draped over his shoulders, and said with disdain, "What's wrong with bumping into you? You said bad things about us in front of us. I'm just giving you a small lesson. Let's see if you dare to gossip about us again in the future!"

"Hey, I have a bad temper!" Zhang Yong rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight. The opponent was no less aggressive and rushed over to join the fight.

"Stop! Do you know that fighting now will result in suspension?" The leader of the Hunters team shouted angrily and stopped everyone.

"He looks so familiar. Where have I seen him before?" Qiansui circled the leader twice, and finally remembered after a long while: "Oh! Isn't this the Zhang thing that bribed Uncle Zuo Hui to beat you up? What a narrow road for enemies."

Lu Jinzhao pushed his glasses, raised his hand to stop Zhang Yong, and looked across: "Zhang Chenhan, right?"

Zhang Chenhan shifted his gaze to his face and said arrogantly, "It's me. What? Do you want an autograph?"

Zhang Yong and Qiansui rolled their eyes in unison.

"Zuo Hui, two hundred thousand... Do you still remember?"

"How do you know?!" Zhang Chenhan's face changed, he looked up and down, and hesitantly said: "You are Lu Jinzhao...?!"

"It doesn't matter how I know. We'll talk about it after the game."

"I, I have nothing to talk to you about!" Zhang Chenhan fled. God knows how scared he was when he saw the money returned by Zuo Hui and checked the surveillance camera in the underground garage and saw Lu Jinzhao punching Zuo Hui down... He didn't want to be beaten!

"Hey, Captain! Wait for us!" The other Hunters team members hurried to catch up.

Seeing the Hunters team walking away, Zhang Yong turned around and asked, "What two hundred thousand? What Zuo Hui? Do you have a grudge against each other?"

Lu Jinzhao briefly explained the whole story, and Zhang Yong couldn't stop laughing: "This idiot is not as skilled as others, but he comes to pick a fight with you. I'm dying of laughter."

The two walked to the audience and sat down. Lu Jinzhao looked at the backstage rest area and winked at Qiansui: "Thank you for your hard work in keeping an eye on our team's rest room. Don't let some people with ulterior motives play tricks on you."

Chitose raised his paw: "It's not hard! I'll go right away! I guarantee that I'll complete the mission!"

It turned around in the air and came to its own team's lounge. The kids were still preparing for the game, and because they were bored, they opened the real-time screens of the lounges and looked at them.

"Hunters team lounge...oh, here, let me hear how you guys are plotting against my brother Chao behind his back."

"Damn it, being called by the coach to train in such a crappy place is really unpleasant!"

"Who wouldn't say it? We are a regular team in the league. Coming to this shabby place to participate in this unofficial competition will make those old dogs laugh to death if they know about it!"

"Then what can you do? The coach told us to eliminate the Star Fighting Team and not let them enter the qualifying tournament at the end of this year!"

"This is just an underage team. I don't know what the coach is worried about. He even called our entire team over. It's really a waste of talent."

Chitose's tail flicked up and down, "Seidou Sentai... I think that's the name of the team our kids are in?"

Zhang Chenhan's face was so dark that ink could drip out of it. "Isn't it all your fault for not living up to expectations?! We are at the bottom of the league again this year! There are only a few investors left! Once the league starts this qualifying competition mechanism, we will most likely be kicked out! No matter what, we can't let other rookie teams get the qualifying competition tickets! Do you hear me!"

"But we can't be blamed for the poor performance of the team. If it weren't for the age ban, we wouldn't be able to recruit young players..."

"And that Lu Jinzhao! If he hadn't knocked you, the captain, out of the rankings on the eve of the league, seriously affecting your mentality on the field, you wouldn't have made mistakes in the league and had your head shaved by the FG team, and you wouldn't have gotten no points!"

Qiansui snorted and said, "I was beaten badly half a month before the game. I couldn't adjust my mentality and it affected the official game. Do you blame our brother Chao? Are you okay? What kind of profession is it that is so easily broken?"

"How about we just do it the old way...add something to their water?"

“What if they don’t drink?”

"With so many teams competing, and the whole day going head to head, how can they not drink a drop of water? It's impossible for the whole team not to drink, right? If anyone can be poisoned, then so be it."

Zhang Chenhan nodded in agreement: "Go ahead, do it cleanly."

Green Field, who played the main offensive position of the Hunters team, laughed obscenely. He took out a transparent sealed bag from his pocket. Inside was white powder. He waved it at his teammates and said, "This is it. It's an old tradition. I'll be right back."

Qiansui rubbed his paws excitedly: "Add! You can add anything! As long as you dare to add, I will let you eat it all by yourselves! Hehe, come on, Tongzi, I'm already prepared, just waiting for you to deliver it to my door!"

Not long after, Midoriya knocked on the door of the Star Fighting Team carrying a bottle of mineral water.

Wei Mingyue opened the door and stuck her head out: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Luye smiled and said, "I am the staff member in charge of the competition venue. Your team leader can't come in, so please let me bring you a box of water."

Wei Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then took the bottle of water and thanked him with a smile: "Okay, thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Seeing that the plan was going well, Luye turned around and left with a smile on his face.

Qiansui stroked his chin, "This guy has some brains, but not much. He knew to use the name of the leader to deliver water, but he certainly didn't expect that Chao had already told the children to bring their own water."

Wei Mingyue put the bottle of water in the corner of the lounge. Miaomiao rushed over and kicked it hard, causing the bottle of water on the outside of the plastic film to collapse. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Bah! You're pretending to be a venue staff. Do you really think we don't know the members of the alliance before we join? At least pretend to be more convincing, right? We are minors, not brainless!"

"Even if he is really a staff member of the venue, we dare not drink it. After all, we have participated in so many folk competitions before, and we have been tricked before. Who would suffer the same loss twice?" Xiaodong spread his hands and shook his head: "I didn't expect that there are still people who use such low-level tricks as putting drugs in water."

Wei Mingyue: "This shows that they are afraid of us. They don't have the confidence that they can defeat us."

Xiao Qi slapped his head and said, "What a pity! I didn't bring a camera to record the pre-match vlog today. Otherwise, I could have recorded that guy's dirty tricks and submitted them to the league with the bottles of mineral water afterwards!"

Chitose laughed: "You reminded me, I have a video recording function, just leave it to me!"

It passed through the wall, floated to Luye, took the bag of powder from his pocket, made a copy of it, went into the Hunters team lounge, sprinkled the powder into everyone's water cup. Finally, it was Zhang Chenhan's turn, and it sprinkled a little more.

When it was time to prepare for the official match, the Hunters team withdrew from the match because all members had stomach upsets and were vomiting and having diarrhea. The team manager and coach were so angry that they just walked away without saying a word during the interview.

Seeing the fans in the forum scolding them, Zhang Yong was overjoyed: "I said these bastards would get their comeuppance, look, it's happening now, isn't it?"

Qiansui buried himself in Lu Jinzhao's arms and asked for praise: "Brother Chao, praise me!"

"well done."

......

"The game is over! Congratulations to the Star Fighting Team and the other 10 teams for entering tomorrow's semi-finals!"

......

That night, an anonymous package was received at the door of the organizing committee of the Shangjiangjunyin E-sports Professional League. The package contained a USB flash drive, a packet of medicine powder, and a bottle of mineral water.
