CH 25.1

Challenge (1)

“Brother called, I will take you flying tomorrow, huh?”

Xue Lan’s whole face burned quickly when he heard the words, but Duan Wenzheng took the time to admire his thin-skinned appearance. After a long while, he opened the door for him in a good mood, and planned to turn around and leave——

“Go to bed early.”

But as soon as he finished speaking, the corner of his clothes seemed to be caught by something.

Duan Wenzheng turned around in surprise, and saw that it was the child who was holding his clothes.

At this moment, he lowered his head, only the tips of his red ears were faintly exposed, he hesitated for a long while without saying anything, but he refused to let go of the corner of his clothes.

Duan Wenzheng couldn’t help laughing and thought, obviously he just said don’t take everything seriously, why he still took it seriously. Seeing that he didn’t hold back a word for a while, Duan Wenzheng raised his hand and rubbed the broken hair on the top of his head: “Don’t take it seriously…”

Xue Lan suddenly looked up as if she had made up her mind——

“Brother Zheng, come on tomorrow!!”

Obviously—brother and brother Zheng are called differently by thousands of miles. He didn’t learn anything else, but he called brother Zheng just like Fatty and the others… But Duan Wenzheng’s hands stopped, and his eyes were fixed there Cheeks flushed from nervousness and eyes filled with mist.

Duan Wenzheng was dazed for a moment, then he coughed lightly twice without looking away, and pushed the person into the door: “Okay, go to sleep.”

Xue Lan was pushed back into the room by him like this, and before he could say anything else, the door in front of him was already closed tightly by the people outside.

He scratched his head blankly, wondering if he said something wrong?

……

Before the start of the first team match, according to the rules of the youth training camp, starting from the team with the lowest points before the official ranking table, each team has the right to challenge any other team with the difference in points between the two teams as a bet. You can choose to fight or avoid the game. And if you give up the challenge, you have to enter the match with the team with the closest points, and the difference between the two teams is still used to add and subtract points.

Even with such attractive rules in place, there has never been a precedent for the last player to challenge the first player in the youth academy.

Most of the teams that choose the Challenger League will choose a team with a difference of about 50 points from their own team for the duel.

At this moment, Qi Siyu is coming to the temporary team captains as a team representative, and will also represent them in launching a challenge to Deng Ruichao’s team.

“What? Did I hear correctly? They actually…”

“In this kind of challenge, who doesn’t know how to weigh your own level, and the bottom one must challenge the first… If it were me, I would definitely not be able to accept the challenge…”

“But don’t tell me, even though it is the bottom one, but this points system wins them, and they will get the most points!”

“this……”

……

“Why should we fight? It seems like we are disgraced if we win like this!” Before Qi Siyu could speak, two players immediately sneered and refused to compete.

Amidst the discussions around, the members of the team all showed displeasure. Xue Lan was hiding at the end of the crowd and looking at all this quietly, at this moment——

“Lan Lan?”

The extremely low voice of the question pulled Xue Lan back from her thoughts, Xue Lan turned her head in surprise, and saw that the person standing behind her was Su Yiyu.

Su Yiyu looked at Xue Lan and hesitated to speak: “I…”

Seeing his nervous expression, Xue Lan hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I…” Su Yiyu paused, “Is your hand healed?”

Xue Lan nodded: “Don’t worry, nothing will go wrong.”

But Su Yiyu still seemed hesitant to speak, wondering if something happened.

Xue Lan looked at him suspiciously, Su Yiyu pursed his lips for a while, and said in a low voice, “I’m just… a little nervous, afraid, afraid that it will hurt everyone.”

Xue Lan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and comforted him with a smile: “Don’t be nervous, you played well.”

Seeing Su Yiyu’s expression was still uncomfortable, he was about to comfort him a few more words, but a cold and stiff voice came from beside him——

“Hand injury?”

The voice was very recognizable, Xue Lan took a breath, followed the voice and looked at Wen Yan who didn’t know when was standing not far from the two of them.

Wen Yan’s voice was cold, and Xue Lan, who was already a little guilty, froze in place, and didn’t dare to look back for a long while.

“This is just a small points match in the youth training camp that doesn’t even count as an official match. You should know what a hand injury means to an e-sports player.” Wen Yan walked up to him and glanced at his wrist , with a serious face: “If you are still unclear, one day you will pay the price for your ignorance today.”

“It’s okay, it’s just a small injury…”

Unexpectedly, Wen Yan stretched out his hand to rest on his wrist when he heard the words.

This action came suddenly, Xue Lan didn’t notice it for a while, and subconsciously let out a low voice under the pain of the unhealed wound.
