Lu Zhuoyan, once a world-famous sniper god and the beloved king of livestreaming.
Now he's reduced to working the front desk at an internet cafe.
Yan, wearing his best customer-service smile: "Hey there, handsome or beautiful. Want to get a membership card?"
He thought he'd just muddle through the rest of his life like this. If he got lucky, he might find a wife. If he didn't, he'd stay single. Whatever.
Then, three years later, a kid suddenly showed up.
The kid was called Bai Xu. Maybe there was something wrong with his head, because he stood at the internet cafe's front desk and stared at Lu for a long time.
Lu Zhuoyan (grinning): "Hey, handsome. Want a membership card?"
Bai Xu shook his head and said bluntly, "No. I want you to train me to go pro."
Lu Zhuoyan: "..."
Without saying a word, the kid slapped a hundred thousand yuan onto the counter.
Lu Zhuoyan: "Sir, we offer boosting services for every profession."
Bai Xu wanted to compete professionally. It was his dream. Lu Zhuoyan asked why he was so set on having that dream, and Bai Xu answered without hesitation: "Because of you."
After hearing that, Lu Zhuoyan narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. Well, look at that, a ready-made wife! And someone to support him, too!
Though he didn't know how much of it was true, Lu Zhuoyan took the kid with him anyway. He called up his old partner, then gathered Bai Xu and two half-decent players to form a team.
They got utterly crushed in their very first match.
Lu Zhuoyan rubbed his face. His old partner asked, "Isn't it a bit bad to take this kid's money when we're such a mess?"
Lu Zhuoyan stubbornly retorted, "He chose to pay us himself, didn't he?"
But Bai Xu was always looking at him with those big eyes. After looking at him for a while, Lu Zhuoyan knew the kid would probably train for who knew how long tonight. He'd scammed the kid out of money, but as he watched him, why did he start feeling a little sorry for him?
Hey, didn't we agree this was just for show? What do you mean, making it to the pro league? What do you mean, making it to nationals? And making it to the global finals? Are you messing with me or what?!
Bai Xu was happily gazing at the tournament trophy when Lu Zhuoyan quietly came over.
"God Bai, I remember you said you wanted to go pro for my sake, right?"
Bai Xu: "*^O^* That's right, Captain!"
Lu Zhuoyan leaned in slowly. "Just saying it isn't enough. You have to show me some real action, don't you?"
Bai Xu blinked in confusion. "?"
When it comes to asking for a title, it's better to leave that to the older one.
