Chapter 95: Xin's VG

At night, the VG Training Room remained lit, becoming the only department in the entire base still training.

Jamyoung sat beside advent, listening intently as the captain explained the demo.

The great Druid prophet Zhou Shuren once said during his lifetime: the best way to get over a relationship is to start a new one.

To soften the sadness of kaze's departure, advent poured all his time into training Jamyoung.

For a time, he even had the thought of treating him as his direct disciple, but unfortunately, Jamyoung was a pure "aim-bot" idiot, and trying to cultivate him into a tactical genius was truly difficult.

Playing this "raising" game, advent actually became somewhat addicted, though it was a pity there were no other rookies on the team—

What? You say Jiaoyang?

It would be good enough if Jiaoyang didn't teach him how to do things; the current Jiaoyang had undoubtedly become the big brother, and the team was following in his footsteps.

"How long have you been playing? Why are you still fighting this guy?"

zhokiNg paused his aim practice to go get water, and on the way, he saw aumaN slacking off again.

Slacking off was one thing, but half an hour had passed, and he was still stuck on the same boss.

"Don't talk! This is critical!" aumaN held the controller, rapidly pressing the attack button, while the red giant's health bar on the screen plummeted.

Almost dead!

One more Knife!

Ding~ A sharp alert sounded, and a "DANGER" appeared above aumaN's head.

"It's over!"

The red giant picked aumaN up high and then slammed him directly onto the ground.

The word "DEATH" that slowly emerged was, in zhokiNg's eyes, synonymous with "noob."

Seeing zhokiNg reveal a faint look of disdain, aumaN jumped up indignantly: "If you've got the guts, you do it!!!"

Thump, thump—

Just as zhokiNg was about to sit down, a knock on the door sounded.

As expected of professional players, the four of them had astonishing reflexes; there was only one person who would come at this hour—

Jiaoyang!

advent's brain raced: No! Jiaoyang wouldn't knock!

Sure enough, Jamyoung opened the door, and An Wenxin, clutching a file, looked at the stranger before her and asked awkwardly: "Excuse me, is Captain Liang of the VG CS Department here?"

Jamyoung was also socially anxious; seeing that the visitor wasn't Jiaoyang, he froze, turned around, pointed at advent, and prepared to flee.

"Wait, you're Jamyoung, right? Can I get an autograph?"

An Wenxin saw advent, and after confirming she hadn't come to the wrong place, she handed a notebook and pen to Jamyoung.

Jamyoung looked at the notebook, which listed the signatures of Jiaoyang and the other three, and the other page had a photo of VG at an offline tournament; for a moment, his head couldn't process it.

What was going on? A fan breaking into the club at night just for autographs? And she wanted his autograph, the rookie's?

"Why are you still standing here?"

A familiar voice came from not far outside the door; Jiaoyang had finally arrived.

"Did the paparazzi find the big star again?" Seeing Jamyoung, Jiaoyang paused for a moment before laughing.

Seeing Jiaoyang, Jamyoung felt much more relaxed. Knowing the two were acquaintances, he signed his ID.

An Wenxin took back the notebook and wrote "Xin" after the five signatures.

aumaN had felt this girl looked familiar from the start. After Jiaoyang mentioned paparazzi, he suddenly remembered: this was the first fan who came up to ask for an autograph after they won against 8EASY offline.

Jiaoyang had said he was blocked by fans before leaving; now it was no wonder it had taken so long.

"How did you manage to lure a fan back?" aumaN smirked.

Jiaoyang knew this guy was thinking the wrong thing, but he didn't correct him, instead adding fuel to the fire: "This fan thinks you're playing poorly and came here specifically to warn you: if you don't start playing well, don't stay at VG anymore."

On the other side, combining a series of information, advent already knew An Wenxin's identity, and he became even more vigilant regarding Jiaoyang's latter sentence.

aumaN, however, still thought Jiaoyang was joking. Not wanting to lose face in front of a fan, he bragged: "Oh? How could that be! I'm the backbone of VG."

An Wenxin looked at aumaN's arrogant expression, revealed a gentle smile, and handed a document to aumaN.

"This contains your match data from the last month, as well as the audience's opinions on your performance."

"If there's no change this month, you'll have to stay on the bench for Dallas at the end of the month."

Jiaoyang watched the number above aumaN's head rise straight from 68 to 73 and smiled.

It seemed An Wenxin was already prepared to become a Coach.

"Alright, stop scaring aumaN. We're still short on people right now; if we really want to bench someone, we'll have to wait until next month," Jiaoyang added specifically.

However, the "stay of execution" didn't make aumaN feel any better; in his eyes, this cute girl had already become a devil from hell.

"Captain Liang, this is the employment notice approved by HR." Ignoring aumaN, An Wenxin first handed over a thin document, and after advent looked it over, she handed over the remaining folder: "These are the materials for the teams we will encounter this month, already organized according to your usual format."

advent flipped through the somewhat thick materials in surprise.

It was indeed organized according to his usual format, and in many places, she had even provided her own insights. Although there were many points where her understanding was lacking, it was sufficiently diligent.

He had originally thought she was a nepotism hire pushed in by Aqing, but he hadn't expected her to really be here to lighten his burden.

"Stop reading, there's plenty of time to look at that later." Seeing that advent had started researching as soon as he saw the materials, Jiaoyang immediately interrupted: "If you keep reading, the rest of us are going to starve to death."

Rumble~

aumaN's stomach growled in perfect coordination; surely they couldn't talk about business while eating!

"I'm going to kick you out sooner or later, you really can eat," advent put away the materials.

aumaN was stunned and said aggrievedly: "Is this my fault too?"

Ever since he had been stuffed by Tyloo, his appetite had unconsciously increased quite a bit, but it shouldn't be enough to get him kicked out.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, even Jamyoung couldn't help but laugh.

The group went to the same street food stall where they had celebrated Jiaoyang's first victory against 8EASY.

It's just that there were two more people this time, and there was a bit more laughter as well.

"To celebrate the new VG's first victory, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

On the other side of the world, the data analyst for the FaZe Clan club was checking HLTV data as usual, but he was quickly drawn to an anomaly.

In the player ratings for the last month tracked by HLTV, one person was leading by a landslide with a 1.77 rating.

Although he is an Asian player and was playing in online tournaments, being so much higher than the second-place American player's 1.37 still proves his potential.

——

The data analyst immediately called the Coach Ynk; his own game level was only Silver in matchmaking and he couldn't see much, but it was different for a Coach who had been a professional player.

Upon receiving the news, Ynk first searched for the ID "Ori" on YouTube.

After all, if someone's highlight reel was mediocre, then there would be no value in watching the demo.

Everything that appeared was a Dota 2 player with the same name, but after filtering out those videos, he actually managed to find a VG. Ori highlight reel.

It was a video created by a newcomer, and the editing technique was average, but without those flashy transitions getting in the way, Ynk could actually see things a bit more clearly.

Starting off by playing against Tyloo?

Ynk wasn't very familiar with Asia, but he still knew about their top dog, Tyloo.

Although the current Tyloo no longer had the strength of the world's top ten from last year, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse, and they could still be considered a strong team in the second tier.

This match had real substance!

In the footage, Ori's crosshair was nailed firmly to that line on the Third Floor.

"Did he have information here?" Looking from the spectator perspective, this Ori was a bit too decisive.

Sure enough, the opponent's head bumped into it, and a sniper rifle Headshot kill followed.

"This shot wasn't difficult."

Just after Ynk gave his conclusion, footsteps from two directions rang out simultaneously!

Without any hesitation, the moment the sniper rifle finished cycling the bolt, without even scoping in, the bullet flew straight out.

Without even looking, Ori turned and switched to his Pistol.

The sound of the Glock rang out briefly in the Inner Site, and then there was dead silence.

"WTF? Is he spinning?"
