Chapter 59: The Alliance Support Who Was Suppressed by His Teammates (Part 2)
Things were not quite as others had seen.
After sleeping in a strange place last night, Yu Lin opened his eyes to a gray ceiling, and a little light came through the gap in the curtains. His wrist was resting on the fluffy and soft quilt, and he had slept like a log.
His brain, which had been affected by his body and had not had enough sleep for a long time, was sluggish. He propped his head up, and after a moment of silence with his lips pressed together, he remembered that he was no longer at DEC.
The new team’s uniform jacket was draped over the chair.
He had worn it all night yesterday and knew that it had a faint smell of tobacco.
His plot in this world was very little, just a few words.
The script said that after coming to Dawn, Yu Lin had entered the youth training camp and was responsible for being an experience pack. Because he was not good with words, he could not even communicate with the youth training team members.
He had a bad reputation and could not explain his actions. After a while, the youth training team members were full of complaints about him. Coupled with the serious cyberbullying, he could not bear the burden and chose to die.
The only light in his life had come from a jacket that had been draped over him on a quiet autumn night.
There were only three people in the base. Duan Qiancheng couldn’t eat the baby food and had gone back to his room to have a drink last night. He hadn’t woken up yet.
When he wasn’t competing, Zhuang Ningyu was one of the few internet-addicted young men with a regular schedule. He walked out of the door, holding his phone, and happened to meet the new team member again.
He had just gotten up, and his hair was still a little messy. It was pressed against his forehead and eyebrows, showing a light mark, and his eyes were cold.
He glanced at the uniform on Yu Lin, and this time, he was really surprised and a little amused.
Noticing his gaze, Yu Lin pressed his lips together, and his slender fingers gently pulled the obviously larger jacket, and he pulled the zipper up, as if he were avoiding something, as if he were shy.
Zhuang Ningyu glanced at him, paused for a moment, and comforted him, “Duan Qiancheng will prepare a new uniform for you. Go and get it from him later.”
“En.” The new team member nodded, glanced at him quickly, pressed his lips together, and after a long while, he said softly, “Thank you, captain.”
Zhuang Ningyu looked at him, put away his phone, and suddenly said, “Let’s go downstairs to eat. You’ll come with me to the training room later. I’ll see how you’re training.”
Yu Lin: “Okay.”
***
When they went downstairs, there was no one in the base yet, and it was quiet.
Zhuang Ningyu walked into the kitchen with familiarity. He had a noble status and had never done any housework since he was a child. Later, when he came out to compete, he had suffered a little, but cooking was not one of them.
He glanced around the kitchen, took out a bag of toast from the refrigerator, bit into a slice himself, and handed the rest to Yu Lin, who was behind him.
Yu Lin: “…”
He lowered his head and touched the cold toast. He pressed his lips together and asked softly, “Captain, do you want to heat it up?”
“En.” Zhuang Ningyu replied casually, took out the toast he had bitten into and handed it to him, and lowered his head to reply to the mountain of messages that had accumulated overnight.
The online revelations about his family background were endless. Both netizens and fans were very curious.
They were curious about his education, his family background, and why he had been able to protect the team’s autonomy from a group of tigers when he had first debuted.
However, until now, no one had really dug up anything.
It was too sensitive, but Ms. Zhuang had recently been promoted again. In her busy schedule, she had somehow thought of him.
She was so busy that she didn’t have time for herself, and she had often sent her secretary to harass him.
Zhuang Ningyu didn’t like to reply to messages, but he also didn’t like trouble, so he simply replied perfunctorily.
The main thing was to ask him if he had decided to play games for the rest of his life. He had replied with a nonchalant “en.”
As he was replying, his fingertips felt a warmth, and a piece of toast was stuffed into the hand that was hanging by his side.
Zhuang Ningyu looked down and saw that the toast was golden brown and very beautiful, and it even had a tooth mark on it.
He looked up, and the new team member was standing with his lips pressed together, his features beautiful, his gaze lowered, his lip line straight, and his eyelashes were as long as feathers.
He said softly, “See if it’s to your liking.”
He was like some kind of animal, with a soft belly, but he was always ready to get angry and put up his sharp thorns.
Zhuang Ningyu let out a laugh, sent the message in his hand, and took a bite of the toast.
The crust of the bread was very crispy. It was just one extra step, but the texture was much better.
Zhuang Ningyu nodded. “It’s much better.”
The new team member blinked, looked at him, and seemed to relax instantly. He pressed his lips together and let out a low “en.”
After a while, a glass of warm milk was stuffed into Zhuang Ningyu’s hand.
He leaned against the wall, his fingers moved slightly, and he turned his head slightly, and glanced at the new team member’s fluffy and soft head.
***
Yu Lin was affected by the character’s setting and was sensitive and vigilant. Only when he saw Zhuang Ningyu would he feel relaxed.
After eating, Zhuang Ningyu took him to the training room.
“Under the Stars” was a 4v4 map confrontation game. The training room had a wide field of vision and good lighting. The four high-end devices were neatly arranged and belonged to the core players of the team.
Yu Lin followed Zhuang Ningyu into the room. He did not look around, nor did he touch anything, and he did not make any random comments.
He pressed his lips together, his gaze was straight, and he was serious.
Zhuang Ningyu knew without turning his head that the angle of the head by his side had not changed, and he casually pulled out a chair. “Come and sit.”
The young man sat down obediently, his thin shoulders slightly tensed, and he picked up the mouse.
Zhuang Ningyu opened the game and started a training match for him to play. The more he watched, the more surprised he became. In his eyes, Yu Lin’s reaction, operation, and psychological tactics were not inferior to the level of a first-team player of a normal team.
He didn’t know how the damn DEC had raised him and had given him to them.
Hilarious.
In a thirty-five-minute game, Yu Lin, as a support, had both healed and attacked, and had helped his teammates get three kills.
Zhuang Ningyu looked at the afterimage of his mouse, his tense jawline, his shoulders that were tensed to the point of being straight, and his head, which looked very soft, and his heart stirred.
He raised his hand and gently pressed Yu Lin’s shoulder. “Okay.”
He suddenly said, “Little God Yu, you played well. Do you mind being in a live stream?”
His expression was unchanged. “I still have a live stream mission to do today.”
When a game was played to Zhuang Ningyu’s level, whether he streamed or not was no longer important. What was important was what he wanted to do.
Yu Lin didn’t know. He was stunned for a moment and said awkwardly, “Okay, captain.”
He pressed his lips together, and the tips of his ears were dripping with blood.
After getting a reply, Zhuang Ningyu grunted, “En,” and leaned down from behind. His warm body gently pressed down, and he reached out. His knuckles were long and slender, and they were as beautiful as if they had been carved from beautiful jade.
A “click” sounded by his ear. Zhuang Ningyu held the camera and pressed down the angle, and then he got up. “Okay.”
At 9:25 in the morning, a large number of internet-addicted young men were either sleeping soundly or were still staying up all night in internet cafes. Zhuang Ningyu started his live stream.
In one minute, there were 1.2 million people in the live stream room, and the traffic was terrifying.
『Husband—』
『Husband, husband, husband, husband, husband—』
『Damn, I was shocked awake from a dream!!!』
『What’s wrong, what’s wrong, what’s wrong!! What happened!! My sister was at work and was frantically calling me!!』
『You scoundrel, why did you only appear now T-T!!!!!』
In a sea of “husband” spam, a low voice came from the live stream room. He chose a question and replied briefly, “It’s nothing. I’m just filling up the time.”
The computer screen was a game screen, and there was no live stream chat. The contract had stipulated that the team’s live stream would have a camera on. Just as the live stream started, a small window popped up in the lower right corner.
The camera was facing the team’s blue and gold uniform, and no face was shown.
Zhuang Ningyu leaned against the back of the chair casually and held his phone. “It’s not me. It’s a new team member.”
“En, I’m guiding him.”
“If you’re being a smartass, you’ll be banned.”
Yu Lin held the mouse, and listening to the voice behind him, his palms were so nervous that they were slightly damp. Out of instinct, he was not used to crowded places, even if it was through a screen.
Zhuang Ningyu leaned against the back of the chair, his gaze on the game, and he said from behind, “Let’s start.”
Yu Lin’s fingers lifted, and he started a new training match.
This was an ice and snow map. The map was realistic, and besides testing the players’ fine control and stability, it also tested their ability to cooperate with the environment.
Zhuang Ningyu’s words were a little less than at the beginning, and they were also more direct. He said, “Don’t hide. Bite him.”
The opponent’s assault was moving forward on a suspension bridge, and he was about to cross the road to grab their supplies.
As a support, Yu Lin had randomly spawned by the suspension bridge, and the other three teammates were scattered on the edge of the map.
“Under the Stars” was a competitive game, with one commander, two assaults, and one support. The enemy and our side had two maps, and the players would randomly spawn on the edge of the map. In the end, the one who was left would win.
As a support, he naturally did not have strong attack skills. Without an assault to help him charge, the most stable thing to do at this time was to run away with the remaining things.
If he was caught by an assault, he could probably only blame the map for spawning a support against an assault.
However, the next second, under Zhuang Ningyu’s command.
The 1.2 million people in the live stream room watched as the figure on the screen used a flash with an extremely fine control, and slid quickly on the ice and snow. A set of knockback combos, and while he was stable on the suspension bridge, he kicked the enemy assault down.
The enemy assault fell off the cliff, and his health was instantly reduced by half. He was in a stalemate with a sliver of health. There was no healer in the “Under the Stars” competitive match. Only the support could hold the line and look for health potion items, and rely on the health potions to supply his teammates. The amount of healing was limited, and it tested his calculation ability.
Yu Lin had basically gotten the first blood for his team. Then, before the assault could react, he had picked up his own supplies and had run away. The ice and snow road was slippery, and with a few jumps, he had slid into the vast snow in the midst of the enemy assault’s curses.
Everything had happened in an instant.
The idea was not difficult, but the operation was very skillful.
The chat in Zhuang Ningyu’s live stream room had always been lively and had never been quiet. But after this wave, with a boom, it had exploded even more happily.
『What do you mean? What does this mean?』
『A new tactic? Damn, you have a new tactic and you’re not hiding it, you’re streaming! Is Zhuang Gou’s brain washed today? Is he sick?』
『The person upstairs is scolding your dad. What are you complaining about? Your dad has his own reasons for doing this!』
『Brain-dead fan!』
『Idiot!』
『Wait… no, wait… please move aside. Why can’t I understand? What is this? What is this? A support has become an assault, and a support is fucking biting people? Is Dawn going to refresh the new gameplay of the alliance?』
『It’s also possible. Brother Cheng is about to retire, so there has to be a newcomer to fill in. Has Seven dug up a new treasure and can’t wait to show it to everyone?』
『Don’t say it… the heart of showing off. But what’s the difference between this and showing off your baby on your Moments!!!』
『I’m speechless. I’ve been opened up to a new way of thinking by the person upstairs, but I can’t imagine Zhuang Gou with his pure and fairy-like face, personally taking his son to play games…』
『Shut up, sister!!!』
『But this move, is he really planning on refreshing the alliance’s playstyle?』
『…No, does the person upstairs think that this move is very easy? The difficulty of “Under the Stars” is in the fine control and the realistic environment. In other words, the officials are encouraging players to use the environment. Do you know why no support has used this move for so many years?』
『No balls…』
『』
『That’s very bad. An assault support, and Seven is commanding. The other clubs have something to worry about.』
There were many such doubts. Whether it was the fans or the members of other clubs who had heard the news, the live stream room was in an uproar.
Yu Lin didn’t know that the live stream room had already exploded. He was playing very seriously.
The hardships of the past had tempered him into a wall of bronze and iron, stubborn and tenacious. Even as a support, who was positioned to cooperate, he would silently seize every opportunity he could use.
After a game, his damage was not enough, and he did not get the MVP. However, of the four people who had died on the other side, not a single one did not have damage from him.
After a game, the four teammates all typed “awesome” in the public chat and added him as a friend.
Yu Lin was playing on the team’s smurf account. Seeing the invitation, he pressed his lips together lightly and subconsciously turned to look at Zhuang Ningyu.
His chin brushed against the collar of his team uniform, and a little of his face was shown on the camera. The young man’s skin was snow-white, and his features were light. Against the deep blue team uniform, he was unbelievably beautiful.
Zhuang Ningyu turned off the live stream with a “click.”
The chat: 『?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????』
For some reason, Yu Lin had never shown his face outside of DEC. He was ashamed to see the light of day, and also because his teammates had said that he should just serve people with his looks. Even if the boss had requested it, he had not given in.
He had not played many competitions, and he had no ranking. He wore a hat and a mask, and was scolded for pretending, and also for fooling the audience.
He had gritted his teeth and had not given in.
Zhuang Ningyu didn’t know his situation, but he knew that the alliance didn’t have his photo, and this was out of his own will.
He said, “I’m sorry.”
Yu Lin was stunned for a moment. “What?”
“The live stream just now.” Zhuang Ningyu said, “Half of your face was shown, and it was seen. Does it matter? I’ll contact the platform.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Yu Lin’s eyelashes lifted, and his voice was very soft. “It’s okay, captain.”
Zhuang Ningyu looked at him, supported the back of the chair with one hand, and with the other, he lifted it lightly. He still couldn’t help but ruffle his head. “En, you played well. One more game.”
As he was speaking, a few people from the team burst through the door.
Fang Cheng was dumbfounded and shouted that it was tacky.
Duan Qiancheng was holding a tinkling phone. He lowered his head and clicked on it, and then he frowned, raised his eyebrows, was puzzled, and then he was overjoyed.
