Chapter 1262  : End Game (2)

“In this game, you have to choose a champion to fight. So inevitably some people play a resistant strategy, some people play a losing strategy. Prince plays a losing strategy. The game is more demanding on people playing a losing strategy. It’s only when the person loses enough ground that the team battles can be won.”

A look of realization came over Lu Nanze’s face and he said, “Oh, so that’s how it works. Then how do you play this game?”

“This is actually a game where you have to destroy the opponent’s turret.”

Shen Liangchuan: …

Shen Liangchuan watched as Qiao Lian patiently explained to the other man. As he listened to her explaining in a gentle tone, he couldn’t help being eaten by jealousy.

How is it that you’re never this sweet when you talk to me?

In the background, the host endlessly talked through the opening ceremony.

Suddenly, the host remarked, “Today’s match is a little special. In the first small group match, we have PC playing against SX. PC is a veteran fighting team, as we all know. They almost never lose a match! But… SX has finally brought in their foreign player, who is also the top player of country H. Everyone probably knows this player, King.”

Upon hearing this announcement, the crowd was triggered immediately and it created a commotion.

Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank back as her eyes narrowed.

King.

King!!

She spun her head around and looked at Shen Liangchuan. She saw him looking at her too with his pupils shrank back.

As they looked at each other, their expressions turned serious.

They recalled a team match that they had played in their senior high school days. A match where they had been cruelly taunted…

She could even remember what King, the captain of King Team had said:

“Chinese pigs.”

“You call yourself the top, and these are your pathetic standards?”

“Weak chicken.”

This had become the motivation that had pushed Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan onto the eSports path, and they had never looked back since.

They had been on this journey for eight arduous years. They were eight years late and only now they had set their path straight.

But they had never thought that they would run into King again.

Indeed, there was no avoiding the enemy.

Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes as she listened to the commentator’s remarks, “King was the captain of the world champion King Team. After retirement, he was invited by SX to China. I believe that the match today will be exceptionally exciting! With King on their team, SX will be transformed. Perhaps today’s match will be incomparable to others, one that will be more exciting than any others you’ve ever watched.”

As the host continued to narrate, Lu Nanze suddenly turned to Shen Liangchuan and said, “I’ve got something to talk to you about. Shall we go somewhere else?”

Qiao Lian was flabbergasted.

What sort of timing was this?! What are you two guys up to?

She immediately said, “Let’s wait till the match is over. What do you—”

“Sure. Where?”

Lu Nanze got onto his feet and headed to the exit.

Shen Liangchuan followed him.

By the time Qiao Lian realized what was going on, the two men had already left the event venue and were on their way to the lounge nearby.

Qiao Lian turned to look at the stage. She estimated that it would take another 20 minutes before the match started. Gritting her teeth, she ran after the men.

What if they started a fight and she wasn’t there to intervene?

She arrived at the backstage lounge and looked around. The two men were nowhere in sight. As she was about to leave, she suddenly heard voices coming from the restroom.
