FOG [e-sports]

Chapter 68:

The people in the training room were momentarily stunned and then instantly began boo-ing. In Shi Luo’s live broadcast, the fans hadn’t seen Shi Luo’s medic for several years and they blasted his live chat like crazy.

[*Tears* I never though Shi Zai would ever log onto his medic account ever again. 】

[Ah ah ah ah ah ah Evil, you fool, why are you such a gentleman? No one asked you use the same job. You should use your striker account to fight! You won’t be able to beat slag-man Yu as a medic! 】

[Save your breath. it’s useless. As soon as Shi Zai met Whisper...]

[T-T To think that I would be blessed to see these two accounts appear within the same frame in my lifetime. 】

[Just got wind of this from Weibo. Opened my screen and everything’s going nuts, what’s the situation now? What’s a wheel match? What does that mean? 】

[First time fans, please remember to click subscribe; First time fans please remember to click subscribe...]

[They’re playing 1v1 with stakes. I just heard their coach say that winner gets to make the loser do one thing. 】

[The current situation is that Shi Shen has just beaten Puppy and won midnight snacks for the whole team. The winner of the wheel match gets to take on another challenger and Shi Shen picked Whisper next. 】

[I suspect that the Shi Zai is planning on throwing the match and now, I’ve got proof. 】

[Okay, Whisper should probably start thinking of what he wants to have Shi Zai do.]

Puppy, who had just lost to Shi Luo, was very upset and said sourly, “You fought with me like you were playing in the finals. While I don’t expect you to treat Yu Sui like that, the least you could do was use your main account. Logging on to your medic account, you’re just waiting to send him your head...”

Chen Huo was watching the excitement the whole time. He clicked his tongue and commented, “Coach, this person doesn’t want to win at all.”

Yu Sui was also taken aback. He pushed the table and turned sideways to look at Shi Luo. He smiled, “Just use your main account. It’s okay, I’ll give it a try.”

“No.” Shi Luo refused resolutely. “I’ll play as a medic.”

Yu Sui didn’t start the match. His slender fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard. Yu Sui thought about it and said, “Then tell me first what you want if you win.”

The light in Shi Luo’s eyes flickered. He was wearing big headphones so the others couldn’t see his ears, but Yu Sui clearly saw how Shi Luo’s neck was slightly red.

Yu Sui already understood a little bit what Shi Luo was going to ask for. He watched Shi Luo quickly pick up his phone to unlock it. Shi Luo quickly typed out a few words and in the next second Yu Sui’s phone buzzed.

Yu Sui picked up his phone and glanced at it.

Chen Huo said, dissatisfied, “Why are you two dogs whooshing all about? What’s the bet?! Why’d you have to keep it a secret, huh?”

Yu Sui glanced at the WeChat message that Shi Luo sent him and put the phone back on the table. Expression completely like normal, he said, “It’s money related. You still want to ask? If you keep asking, our live broadcast channels will be locked.”

The live broadcast platform has been cracking down on inappropriate content over the past few years, and the content of the live broadcasts were strictly controlled. If Shi Luo and Yu Sui were really betting money, although they were privately playing within their own team, but if they declared it out in the open, at the very least, they would be blocked for a month. Chen. Huo didn’t want to pay the live broadcast company’s penalty charges so he hurriedly said, “I won’t say anything, I won’t ask. You guys fight.”

Zhou Huo watched the excitement happily. NSN was strictly managed and never let its team players goof around. Zhou Huo lacked knowledge and experience in this kind of thing. This was the first time he saw people playing like this. He had learned a little about seedy Internet cafes and was a little excited. Hearing what they said, he tried to be a bit more serious and said, “It’s fine so long as you don’t say it directly. You two should just talk about it in private. Has Evil already stated his terms? What about you? If you win, what should Shi Luo do?”

Yu Sui tapped his mobile phone screen and simply said, “I’ll bet the same thing Shi Shen did. I’ll have him do for me what he asked.”

Behind the two monitors, Shi Luo stretched his fingers. Their eyes met past their monitors. Yu Sui’s eyes were smiling, and he confirmed again, “This bet...Are you sure you still want to play as a medic?”

Old Qiao was the most sensitive when it came to matters about money. Hearing what Yu Sui said, he thought that these two were playing for a substantial amount. He couldn’t help but say, “Don’t take it too far, alright? Just a bit is fine.”

The redness on Shi Luo’s neck has spread all the way underneath his thin T-shirt’s neckline. Shi Luo sorted out the wires of his mouse. Expression completely cool, he said without any nonsense, “Just click start.”

Yu Sui smiled, “Then let me thank you in advance.”

Yu Sui clicked on ‘start’. While waiting for the countdown, Yu Sui picked up his phone and took another look at what Shi Luo had sent him.

[Evil]: [If you lose, you’ll take this young master to experience something new. ]

[Evil]: [The base is inconvenient... Other methods are okay. ]

[Evil]: [I expect good service. ]

Yu Sui quickly replied on WeChat: [I expect good service. Please keep that in mind. ]

Shi Luo glanced at WeChat and let out a cough.

With the end of the countdown, Yu Sui’s smile dissipated. He immediately set up a shield for himself and quickly made his way to his opponent, Shi Luo’s, side of the map.

Zhou Huo stood behind Old Qiao’s computer, staring fixedly at his screen. He whispered, “Why do I feel like this match between two medics is actually more dangerous and exciting than the one just now&#k2026;”

“This wouldn’t be worth watching if it were any other medics. But they’re different. Close combat is really fun to watch. This round will be better to watch than the previous round.” Old Qiao whispered, “In the last round, Puppy was a sniper and could already begin the battle from afar. In the early stages, he was actually just one-sidedly hitting a moving target. It wasn’t interesting. This game’s going to be good. If these two are going to fight, it will be definitely be hand-to-hand. The excitement... Yu Sui’s starting.”

With no long-range weapons, Yu Sui was not afraid of being attacked at an exposed position. After supplementing his status at the beginning, he directly rushed towards Shi Luo.

Shi Luo had also put a shield on himself and was in good condition. He knew that his utilization of the map was not as good as Yu Sui’s and so, he didn’t charge recklessly ahead. Instead, he chose a shrubbery bunker that he was most familiar with. He hid behind a tall and sturdy tree, waiting for Yu Sui in a defensive position.

When Yu Sui saw Shi Luo dive behind the tree from a distance, he already knew what Shi Luo was thinking. This was what Yu Sui himself taught him before. He couldn’t be more familiar with this set of moves.

If this were a regular match and Yu Sui saw the opponent medic dive behind a bunker, no matter whether the opponent had a dagger or not, Yu Sui wouldn’t even think twice about following after him. So far, no medic had been able survive by himself in Yu Sui’s hands, even if his opponent had the early stage bunker advantage.

Today though, Yu Sui played very cautiously. Instead of going directly into the shrubbery. Instead, Yu Sui held his long dagger and waited in a spot among the dense forest, upwards of the bushes. He choose to first accurately judge Shi Luo’s position in the bushes and prepare for an accurate assassination.

Yu Sui’s play was airtight and he gave Shi Luo not even the slightest chance of turning the tables.

“Just how much money did these two bet that they’re playing that carefully?” Chen Huo looked at the monitor nervously and murmured, “Yu Sui is playing a bit too seriously.”

“When has he ever not played seriously?” Puppy leaned against his gaming chair and narrowed his eyes as he watched the two operate. “I sometimes suspect that Yu Sui’s some kind of machine... When his condition’s good, he doesn’t make any mistakes, when his condition’s bad, he still doesn’t make any mistakes. All year round, no matter what situation he encounters, just an emotionless machine.”

Chen Huo curled his lips. “I made mistakes several times during our previous game against FS. Yu Shen didn’t make any throughout the whole thing. Every kills was accurate.”

In the game, Yu Sui lightly tuned his mouse’s scroll wheel.

Each player’s shortcut keys were different and the way one sets it up was related to the player’s job. For example, Puppy’s mouse’s wheel was used to adjust the magnification of his sniper scope once it’s been opened. The scroll wheel was used to zoom in and zoom out what he saw through the scope.

For Chen Huo and Shi Luo, the scroll wheel was their shortcut to fire. A slide of the wheel was a lot faster than hitting a key, so they could fire the most number of bullets within the limited window.

Among everyone, Yu Sui’s mouse scroll wheel shortcut was the most special. He had set it to control the sound volume.

Scrolling it would amplify the volume, scrolling down would reduce it.

This was related to Yu Sui’s usual style of play. He often used himself as bait to attract the opponent’s frontline players. When he took the initiative to get in close, Yu Sui needed to predict the opponent’s position. At this time, if both sides were standing still, it was extremely difficult to be found.

At this time, Yu Sui’s volume shortcut was very important.

Yu Sui turned the scroll wheel as high as it would go and then waited quietly.

The simulated sound system in FOG was very well-done. As long as the player made any movement, even if it was just their clothes brushing against each other, it will definitely make a sound. And as long as your ears were sharp enough, you’d be able to catch it.

Yu Sui set the volume as high as it would go and after a moment, just as expected, he caught a sound of the medic brushing against the bushes.

The sound was there for only a split second but Yu Sui had almost simultaneously been able to determine Shi Luo’s position. To prevent his headset from exploding with sound, he flicked the mouse wheel button to lower the sound. At the same moment, Yu Sui rushed directly to Shi Luo’s direction. He sent his dagger streaking down the shrubbery where Shi Luo was. He still hadn’t clearly seen Shi Luo’s in-game avatar, but blood already came splashing out.

Chen Huo on the sidelines, sighed, “His ability to determine location from sound is simply awesome.”

Before Chen Huo could finish speaking, dazzlingly bright light came from the thicket. Shi Luo took Yu Sui’s blow and struck out with one of his as well.

Shi Luo’s position was very tricky and Chen Huo subconsciously moved closer to the screen.

Shi Luo had counterattacked very quickly, but Yu Sui still managed to avoid it.

Yu Sui blocked it with his arm, and drew back quickly, perfectly avoiding getting his critical spot hit. Shi Luo only managed to hit him on his arm.

Compared to Shi Luo’s wound where Yu Sui hacked him from his left shoulder to his left chest, the wound on Yu Sui’s left arm was almost negligible.

In less than two seconds of confrontation, both their original shields had shattered. Shi Luo lost 60% of his blood, and Yu Sui lost 10%.

“Shi Luo’s cold now.” Chen Huo shook his head, “If not for that shield, that strike would have killed him outright. He won’t have time to put up a shield next time. He can only persist.”

In the game, Shi Luo really didn’t have time to put up another shield on himself. But it wasn’t just to put up a shield, he basically had no time to do anything at all. Yu Sui pressed in too close. If Shi Luo turned around and ran now, he would be exposing his back to Yu Sui. That would be certain death. Now that he couldn’t even escape, all he could do was fight with everything he’s got.

From Yu Sui’s perspective, Shi Luo, whose upper body was covered in blood, desperately rushed forward once again. His Photon Shield was already broken. Yu Sui used his injured left arm to block and sacrificed another 10% of his health. With that as the price, he was able to stab Shi Luo in the left abdomen.

Shi Luo’s blood volume instantly bottomed out, leaving only 5%.

Yu Sui still had 80%.

Although Shi Luo had immediately drawn back and widened the distance between them, their difference in health was too much, It was hopeless.

Yu Sui only had to hit Shi Luo one more time and it was game over.

In the game, Shi Luo still didn’t give up. With a roll, he hid behind a giant tree. Yu Sui didn’t give him time to breathe and rushed over.

Yu Sui bypassed the thick tree trunk and got right in front of Shi Luo. He didn’t perform even the least bit of unnecessary movement. He didn’t expose his vitals and he didn’t give Shi Luo room to block. The whole process was done with script-level precision and he was ready to make a slash.

Old Qiao, looking at the match from Yu Sui’s perspective, introduced to Zhou Huo, “After you see how Yu Sui fights with his dagger, you’ll know how close-combat should be played in extreme situations. This is simply textbook level. If you let a computer play it, it would also use this step to...eh?!”

In the game, Yu Sui walked around the tree trunk, preparing to kill Shi Luo with a slash.

Unexpectedly, behind the tree trunk, Shi Luo still hadn’t given up. Hiding behind the tree, leaning on the tree trunk, he grasped every possible microsecond to inject himself with health.

Given Yu Sui’s speeds, Shi Luo wouldn’t have enough time to complete this injection.

But Shi Luo still instinctively chose to try and save himself.

Two years ago, when Yu Sui played that practice match, that medic had done the same.

Even when he was beaten without any means to fight back, he still dodged left and right, trying to bandage himself and inject himself with health, completely unwilling to die. When his health was low, he would hide east and hide west. But after he had replenished a bit of his health, he would immediately come rushing desperately with his dagger.

Even when Yu Sui had beaten him until he couldn’t even crawl his way forward, he still half-knelt on the resurrection stone and bandaged himself.

On the terrace today, Shi Luo had told Yu Sui said, “Given your personality, that you could send FS to the chopping block yourself, there was a high probability that you wouldn’t throw the game for me.”

In the game, Yu Sui had noticed that Shi Luo himself had stopped his operation midway. He probably knew that the injection wouldn’t finish. He gave up on the injection, took up the dagger and reluctantly faced the enemy head-on. The two were very close. At that moment of imminent peril, Yu Sui Looked at Shi Luo, and he turned his hand over and returned his dagger to his waist.

Shi Luo stabbed with the dagger, hitting Yu Sui square in the chest.

The game ended. Except for Yu Sui, everyone was stunned.

Chen Huo’s jaw dropped. He said, dazed, “Yu Shen, what are you doing?”

Yu Sui took off his headphones, his expression calm. “My skills weren’t as good as his. What of it?”

Puppy stared blankly at his computer screen, “If this had happened in a regular game...I could have already reported you for passively meeting an attack.”

Zhou Huo sighed and poked Old Qiao, “What were you just saying? Yu Sui’s a textbook-level assassin-type medic? Huh...”

Zhou Huo glanced at Shi Luo and murmured, “I think this is actually textbook-level teasing.”

It was like Old Qiao was waking up from a dream. He then said, “Yu Sui, what happened to your script-level operation? What about the computer-level reactions?! What did you just do?”

It was a bit too obvious and Yu Sui didn’t look for a reason. He quit the map and said calmly, “My operation is not at computer level. People aren’t and I’m not actually a computer.”

Puppy was stunned, “I always thought that you were detached and completely free from emotional interference. I was wrong.”

Yu Sui raised his eyes and glanced at Shi Luo, calmly, “I never said I was immune to being disturbed. You’re the one who insisted on saying that I was cold-hearted and cold-blooded. I assure you that I a warm-blooded animal and always slightly subject to the seven emotions and six-sensory pleasure.”

Puppy turned his head and looked at the only person so far who has ever made Yu Sui feel the seven emotions and six-sensory pleasures in the game. He was about to tease a bit more when his phone rang. The takeaway had arrived.

Chen Huo, who hadn’t been picked to come up on stage yet, was relieved. He hurriedly got up and said, “Great! Let’s eat. Perfect timing, now I don’t need to fight anymore and I won’t lose a single cent. Let’s go, let’s go.”

“Okay. Let’s have our midnight snack. Stop playing.” Zhou Huo urged everyone to go downstairs, “Let’s eat and go to bed after the meal.”

After eating his food without much relish, Shi Luo absent-mindedly headed upstairs.

When he chose to play as a medic against Yu Sui, Shi Luo was actually ready to lose.

If Shi Luo had been so suited to playing a medic, he would never have changed jobs.

He logged on to that account, one, because he wanted to see how far his medic play had degraded and two, he had already completely let go. The two of them were together now. Shi Luo didn’t feel like there was some irreparable hatred between them.

But he never expected that Yu Sui would suddenly stop at the last minute.

When the long dagger was thrust into the chest of the Yu Sui’s avatar, Shi Luo instantly released the mouse.

It seemed like he had injured Yu Sui by mistake.

The scene was so clear in his mind that Shi Luo repeated it over and over in his head as he had his midnight snack.

Shi Luo rubbed his neck as he walked to his dorm room. When he passed by Yu Sui’s dorm room, his door was open. A certain medic, who couldn’t eat any midnight snack because of stomach problems and so just had a bowl of porridge, pulled Shi Luo into his room.

The lights weren’t turned on in Yu Sui’s room. The blackout curtains were drawn tightly close. There wasn’t the tiniest bit of light in his room. Shi Luo was crowded into the corner of the door and wall of the dorm.

Had he not been so familiar with Yu Sui’s presence, Shi Luo would have reasonably suspected that a thief had infiltrated the base and had kidnapped him.

When he was pushed to the corner, the other party let go. In this purely dark environment, no matter how good his eyesight was, Shi Luo could only feel the wall behind him, Yu Sui’s slight breathing, and the faint smell of detergent on Yu Sui’s body.

If it were in the game, this would be the most terrifying situation; no cover, no vision, no weapons, only the faint voice of the opponent could be heard.

Shi Luo began to have a faint expectation that something was about to happen and he stammered, “Turn on, turn on the lights...”

“No.”

Shi Luo heard Yu Sui whisper, “If I turn on the lights, I’m afraid Little Shi Shen might be embarrassed when I settle our bet.”

Yu Sui seemed to smile, “I lied. I’m afraid I’d be embarrassed.”

Shi Luo’s ears were burning hot, “Today, today, you let me win.”

“When it comes to you, I can’t abide by so many principles; I never could.”

In the darkness, Shi Luo heard Yu Sui whispered, “I’m willing to pay up...I’ll be taking Young Master Shi to experience something new.”

“The base really is inconvenient and you’re not prepared. I hope you’re ok if I just use my hands.”

Before Luo could come back to his senses, he felt Yu Sui step forward and gently lift the hem of his T-shirt with his slender fingers.

Yu Sui moved his hands. Shi Luo’s eyes widened in an instant. Before he could almost shout, Yu Sui covered Shi Luo’s mouth with his other hand.

“Shhh...”

Yu Sui said softly, “Free E-sports Club, ID: Whisper, position: captain, in game job: medic... First time to do business, please take care of me.”

After half an hour, Yu Su went to the bathroom to wash his hands. After washing his hands, he opened the door and checked. After making sure that there was no one in the corridor, he turned back to his room. After half a minute, Shi Luo left through the door and returned to his dorm room.
