Chapter 744: No one can win all the time

~7 min read 1,294 words

A hot pot restaurant near Fuyang Building.

Shen Xing was sitting in his seat, flipping through the photos he took abroad in his album, savoring the beautiful memories.

A timid voice suddenly sounded beside him: "Shen Xing?"

Shen Xing subconsciously raised his head and saw a girl wearing a white down jacket looking at him uncertainly.

The girl was dressed simply and cleanly, had a ponytail, was slightly thin, but her eyes were particularly bright.

"I am. Are you Mujin?"

"It's me."

"Sit down, sit down. It was a long way to come, right?"

"It's okay. You've been waiting for a long time, right?"

"No, I happened to be in this neighborhood today, so I made the appointment here." Shen Xing sensed Mujin's cautious personality, took the initiative to scan the code with his phone, and handed it to her: "You see what you want to eat. I don't know if you can eat spicy food, so I didn't order anything. I'm fine with anything; you order."

"I'm fine with anything too." Mujin pushed the phone back to Shen Xing: "We agreed that I'd treat you, so you should order. Don't be polite."

"Then I'll order. Let's just have a mild spicy soup base. I've been eating 'white people food' for a month and am afraid my stomach won't adapt."

Mujin nodded: "I saw your Moments. It's really great to be able to watch the global finals on the spot."

Shen Xing smiled and said while ordering: "You're quite different from online. I watch your live streams and chat with you on WeChat, and I feel your personality should be quite cheerful, but you seem a bit introverted in person."

"This is my first time meeting an internet friend, so I'm a bit nervous." Mujin said truthfully: "After all, you gave so many gifts to my live stream room, and we are alumni, so I thought I could meet you."

Shen Xing: "I even said to make the appointment at 'Xiangdelai' at the North Gate of Longda, which is right next to the police station."

"I know you're joking. But why did you make the appointment here? Do you live nearby?"

Shen Xing ordered the food and placed the order, then sold a mystery to Mujin: "You'll know in a while."

Afterwards, the two chatted while eating, talking about things at school and things in Mujin's live stream room, which were common topics for the two. After chatting, Mujin's true personality gradually revealed itself; she was indeed a quite outgoing and talkative girl, not introverted at all.

Seeing that the atmosphere had opened up, Shen Xing then took the opportunity to ask her: "Mujin, do you know about the varsity team of our Longda E-sports Club?"

"I know." Mujin looked at Shen Xing with bright eyes, her lips curled into a smile: "I recognized you the first time I saw you just now. Shen Xing, who led the school team to the university league last year, is that you, right?"

"You recognized me, so why didn't you say anything?"

"I thought you wanted to keep a low profile." Mujin pursed her lips and said: "Your skills are so amazing and you still gave me gifts, that means you also recognize my skills, right?"

"That's right!" Shen Xing nodded seriously, staring at Mujin: "I don't just recognize them, I need them."

Mujin was stunned, and then heard Shen Xing directly invite her: "Mujin, I've formed a Longda school team. Join my team and play support!"

"Ah?" Mujin turned from stunned to surprised and pointed at herself: "Me?"

"Yes, I really need you!"

"No, no, I can't." Mujin refused repeatedly, almost without any hesitation.

"You can. I watched your live stream. You really play very well. Your own rank and the national server ranking heroes are enough to show that your skills are very amazing. Why do you think you can't?"

"I can't play in competitions. Look at how many female players there are in competitions?" Mujin lowered her head to eat to cover up her evasion.

Shen Xing had a headache. One Bai Lianghe had 100% confidence in his skills but didn't want to join the team.

One Mujin had no confidence in her skills at all and didn't dare to join the team.

Why is it so difficult to form a group of five?

"What are you afraid of? So what if you're a woman? Women who play well can also rub men on the ground. I think you're very amazing. Those support players in the university league are not as good as you!"

"So you gave me gifts in my live stream room just to pull me into the team?" Mujin caught the point and looked at Shen Xing and asked.

Shen Xing hesitated, but still didn't want to lie: "Yes, my purpose was indeed a bit heavy, but I also really think highly of you and need you. Don't be angry."

"I'm not angry. I'm quite happy that you can recognize me." Mujin's tone suddenly calmed down: "Since I was a child, I haven't been recognized much. Even when I got into Longda, my parents felt it was taken for granted."

"But about joining the team, I won't hide it from you, I'm quite afraid." She looked at Shen Xing, her gaze frank: "Letting me hide behind the screen to live stream is fine, but if I'm asked to stand in front of the stage and accept the scrutiny of so many people, I will definitely be nervous and my hands will shake, and then everything will be messed up."

"Shen Xing, I don't want to hold you back. I can return all the gifts you gave me."

"That's not necessary. That's the cost I consumed to implement my plan. There's no reason to take it back after it's consumed." Shen Xing also slowed down the rhythm because he felt Mujin's emotions and thoughts: "I can understand the fear, and I also respect your fear. But what I want to say is, you can admit your fear, so why can't you face your fear? Take a step forward; maybe being brave once can completely overcome the fear."

"I..."

"Don't rush to refuse me. Listen to me finish." Shen Xing interrupted her softly and continued: "You live stream to earn some money, but after joining the team, you will have a fixed income. Not only will there be sponsorship salaries, but there will also be school subsidies, and there will be bonuses if you win the competition, which will be much more than you earn from live streaming and more stable."

"More importantly, you are a girl. I think many girls also like e-sports, but as you said, female players are rare on the competition stage. Then you should stand out at this time. Many people don't have such opportunities, but the opportunity is now in front of you. You should grasp it and step onto the competition stage as a female player. This will definitely inspire many girls invisibly."

"What men can do, you can also do. You can not only do it, but you can also do it better!"

Mujin hesitated and opened her mouth: "But what if we lose..."

"If we lose, we lose. No one can win all the time. This year's global champion doesn't have an all-win record either. Everyone has lost. Losing is not terrible; what's terrible is that you gave up the chance to win because you were afraid of losing!"

This last sentence was thunderous, leaving Mujin stunned.

"And there won't be only one girl in our team. There will be another girl joining our team. She is the shooter position. The two of you cooperating will definitely be very exciting!" ===== CHAPTER 745 =====
