Chapter 108: Jiaoyang is just too long-lasting!

"Holy crap, Jiaoyang, playing it this big?"

aumaN widened his eyes; the look before him was a bit too avant-garde, making it hard for him to accept for a moment.

It wasn't exactly "Shamate" style, nor was it ugly; it just further highlighted Jiaoyang's square-jawed features, making him look even more upright at a glance—it was an expression of extreme stylization.

"This is what a 'Truth or Dare' is! For our first public appearance, we must leave a deep impression!" An Wenxin continued with a smile: "I've seen some foreign clubs dye their players' hair in all sorts of colors just for this kind of promotion."

Hearing these words, aumaN instantly wiped the smile off his face. So that was what the agreed-upon "Truth or Dare" makeover meant!

Don't do that Shamate stuff! This book is first published on Tian Tian Kan Xiao Shuo -> ttk. tw, providing you with an error-free and non-scrambled reading experience.

"I protest! This is clearly not appropriate 'Truth or Dare' content." aumaN immediately brought up the restrictions An Wenxin had proposed at the time.

"Fine, then let's vote. Raise your hand if you refuse." An Wenxin narrowed her eyes, her smile unchanged.

aumaN raised his hand high, as if one hand could count as two.

However, no one else raised their hand besides him.

advent, the winner, naturally didn't need to be mentioned; he was just waiting for aumaN to make a fool of himself.

And zhokiNg felt that Jiaoyang's haircut was actually quite good; boys should be a bit more masculine, and this was the very definition of an upright gentleman.

JamYoung hesitated slightly, but a single sentence from An Wenxin made him lower the hand he had just started to raise.

"We're only doing this for our first appearance; the next time will be normal."

With that, JamYoung let go of his lingering anxiety.

Young people under 20 have a high level of acceptance; doing something eccentric is actually quite interesting. Since he was already here, he might as well join in the fun.

The key was, it was useless for him to raise his hand anyway!

Jiaoyang was already getting his hair done, which naturally meant he was willing to accept the punishment. Counting zhokiNg and the other two, this matter was already set in stone.

Even aumaN gave up resisting; it seemed he couldn't escape An Wenxin's clutches this time.

She really was a devil!

advent patted aumaN on the shoulder, signaling him to prepare himself mentally.

The second one to go up was zhokiNg. Just as he had thought, the stylist didn't mess around, using the 【Hair Director's Clippers】 to cut a cool mohawk that didn't lose its tough-guy style.

"Not bad at all, just like Beckham's." aumaN relaxed instantly. The stylist was just applying artistic processing based on everyone's features; a handsome guy like him would probably look even better.

Mentioning soccer, JamYoung became interested. Training had been too tight before to bring it up, but now that the competition was over and the results were decent, it was time to relax: "Wanna play soccer another day? Call up that Dota 2 bunch; the club has a small field."

"Sure! Leave the forward position to me; my ball control is like Henry's." Without any burden, aumaN started bragging directly.

"Even for five-a-side soccer, that's 5v5, right? How do we split Jiaoyang? We can't let Xiao An play, can we?" advent stayed up late often and had average physical fitness, so he subconsciously wanted to decline this kind of sports activity.

Although An Wenxin always listened to advent regarding game understanding, she wouldn't let him slip away for these valuable team-building activities: "Jiaoyang belongs to the CS Division, and I'll be the referee. As for the Dota 2 side, just let their Coach play."

Seeing advent still wanting to decline, An Wenxin directly brought up the responsibilities of a Coach: "Playing in competitions doesn't just test game skills; it also tests a player's physical fitness!"

"There is data showing that players with good physical condition also perform relatively better."

Speaking of this, An Wenxin was about to take out her phone to show the evidence.

advent surrendered immediately. He had already experienced this kind of argument many times; as long as An Wenxin dared to voice an objection, the result was always that she was right. She wouldn't do things she wasn't sure about.

Besides, it wasn't that he didn't understand; some veteran players in clubs didn't retire because their understanding and skills were lacking, but because their physical functions couldn't keep up.

Management of one's physique was something domestic esports lacked, and in the long run, it was no good for public outreach.

When someone says electronic sports is a healthy activity for the body and mind, the image shown shouldn't be a fat pig wearing glasses and drinking cola, right?

advent knew this too, but on one hand, he spent too much time preparing for matches and had no time to exercise, and on the other hand, the VG Canteen was just too delicious—

"Alright, but during this period we have to focus on preparing for DH Dallas."

Facing this stalling tactic, An Wenxin had no choice. The new VG was really too busy during this time; she felt it herself, let alone Jiaoyang.

"Uh, we can play tonight. They've already arrived at the base." Jiaoyang, having just been finished with by the makeup artist, walked over to add a sentence.

"They need to adjust to the jet lag, isn't that inappropriate?" advent continued to decline.

"They slept on the plane; they're just getting ready to do some exercise to burn off some energy."

aumaN laughed loudly: "Lao Liang, you can't hide from this!"

That evening, the VG members who had finished their official photos returned to the base after dinner.

Unlike before, the entire Dota 2 Division, having learned they were going to PK in soccer, began a welcoming ceremony at the main entrance, just like the hosts.

Leading the way for the CS Division was Jiaoyang, whose unique hairstyle made everyone's eyes light up.

"Jiaoyang's hairstyle is suitable for dyeing green." Yang Hai commented sharply right away.

"Why?" Ding Yu asked curiously.

"Don't you think if it were green, it would look exactly like that Rubick Arcana cube?"

"Pfft—"

"—"

"Wait, there's an even bigger expert!"

The keen observation skills of the Dota 2 players allowed them to spot that cowering guy in the crowd at a glance.

——

"The one wearing the hat is—"

advent pulled aumaN's hat down: "An afro!"

"Hahahaha."

"Was he electrocuted?"

"He's been shocked into a cotton candy."

Facing everyone's mockery, aumaN widened his eyes and said: "What do you guys know? This is called Fashion!"

"Fine, fine, Fashion, Fashion."

""

Seeing that the others were clearly still laughing, aumaN's face flushed red, the veins on his forehead bulging as he argued, "An afro isn't just a hairstyle; it's a person's yearning for freedom!"

Then came more incomprehensible words, things like "punk culture" and "releasing one's personality," which made the people from the CS side burst into laughter as well, filling the air inside and outside the base entrance with joy.

"Just you wait! I'm going to blast you all!" Seeing that no one believed his "Tony the Stylist" rhetoric, aumaN gave up on saving face and directly threw out a harsh threat.

"Pfft, can you even kick like that?"

"Maybe we should call it off; I'm afraid I'll mistake your head for the ball."

"A cube and a sphere—I feel like I'm back in high school math class, hahahaha."

Over an hour later, "I can't do it, I can't do it anymore."

"Is Jiaoyang even human? How is he so enduring?"

"Damn it, he's like a beast, just shooting wildly."

"His accuracy is too high."

Ding Yu collapsed onto the ground, drenched in sweat, his body feeling like it was about to fall apart.

Five-a-side soccer is actually only forty minutes long; the reason they had been playing for so long was that these players' stamina simply couldn't keep up, forcing them to extend the halftime breaks.

Even so, thanks to an excellent Matchmaking mechanism, the CS and Dota divisions were still evenly matched.

This was all due to an afro-haired forward who claimed his "ball protection is like Henry's," whose frail body would perform irregular Thomas flares whenever he collided with someone.

Consequently, even with Jiaoyang, who was as fierce as a wild bull, the CS Division could only manage a draw against Dota 2, since they were down a man after all.

This match once again interpreted what it means for friendship to come first and the competition second.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of giving it their all and crazily pouring out their sweat.

However, no one knew that after his first "Headshot," Jiaoyang had never once brought out his true strength—
