“Wake up, wake up.” A soft melodious voice called out.

Luocheng opened his eyes, seeing a beautiful face in front of him. A pair of bright eyes like the moon were looking right back at him. He could feel the breath from her lips.

Luocheng’s heart jumped in his chest, her plump lips were so close, he could easily close the distance…

“What?” Qianqian asked, panicking a little when she saw Luocheng’s smirk as he stared at her.

“Give me a kiss, won’t you?” Luocheng said, his smile stretching wider.

“No, you have morning breath!” Qianqian said, glaring at him.

“Then I’ll go brush my teeth.” Luocheng said, rolling off the bed in a hurry and flying toward the bathroom.

There was already a new toothbrush set inside. He didn’t think much as he tore it open and started to meticulously clean his teeth, washing his face at the same time to wash away his tiredness completely.

Well, there was also his hair, why not style it handsomely!

Aiya, might as well just take a shower and change into the clothes that he had just bought. Luocheng flew back into the room, grabbing the clothes that he had bought when he was out with Qianqian and ran back into the bathroom.

Going back in, Luocheng realised that…they were a couple alone in a room. After showering, it wasn’t necessary to wear clothes straight away as you might need to take them off later…

Alright, he hadn’t even gotten past first base and he was already thinking about the homerun.

No need to rush, take it slow, don’t scare people off.

***

After showering, he felt refreshed, coupled with the euphoria of starting a relationship, his energy was refilled unbelievably faster than usual. Looking around the apartment for the beautiful Qianqian, he found her sitting quietly in front of the computer, watching a commentary video on LOL.

Qianqian had been through Luocheng’s training and passed, her strength now was not that weak. She could now overpower a majority of the lower ranks in ranked matches and this made Luocheng exceptionally proud.

“Here, I went out and packed some food, eat some.” Qianqian pushed a bowl of hot noodles toward him.

“Let’s get down to business first.” Luocheng said instead.

“What business?” Qianqian said, confused.

“Give me a kiss, I’ve brushed my teeth already. I even took a shower.”

Qianqian’s face flushed immediately as she muttered, “I didn’t promise you anything.”

“…How could…” Luocheng’s face fell.

“You assumed it all on your own.” Qianqian continued.

Of course Luocheng wasn’t about to give up. Just as he was deciding on how he was going to counter this, his phone which was on the bed rang. Luocheng was dissatisfied and he had half a mind not to pick up the phone.

“Pick up your phone, you pervert!” Qianqian glared at him.

Luocheng went to pick up his phone grudgingly and realised it was Lin Dong who was calling.

“Boss! Xiao Bei managed to get a 22 win streak!” Lin Dong exclaimed.

“A 22 win streak!” Luocheng was shocked.

“Yeah, I played until I got to a 17 win streak and Xiao Bei took over. In higher elo games, playing as an ADC has more carry power, and once Xiao Bei took over, he managed to consecutively win 5 matches and brought us to a 22 win streak.” Lin Dong excitedly explained. “He doesn’t dare to continue playing in case he loses. There’s only 4 more rounds to go, we’ll leave it to you!”

Just 4 more rounds!

Getting a 22 win streak was not an easy feat, if you didn’t agree, you could very well try it out yourself.

And to get the last 4 consecutive wins, the pressure and difficulty couldn’t be compared to the previous 22 win streak, it could be even harder than that. This was because in the last 4 rounds, you could be matched up against the top national players, city champions, Challengers, or even top professional candidate players.

No matter how strong a player you were, there would be times where you would be beaten without a doubt. When Luocheng was playing Vayne, he had also been beaten in a middle tier game.

An ADC’s carry power in a higher tier game was even more extreme because your teammates would know how to let you obtain your farm and protect you. They would also know to give you time to develop and to be more understanding.

You should only be afraid of any early mistakes which could lead to internal team fighting, having that happen would lead to a confirmed lost match.

Xiao Bei did not play the last 4 rounds because he knew that the probability of him winning the matches were only about 60% with his level of capability. Furthermore, as he had been on a win streak, statistically speaking, the probability for him to continue with the win streak was very low. Changing the player would be similar to changing a person’s luck, they might even be able to hit 26 consecutive win streak like this!

Xiao Bei, Lin Dong and Luocheng were clear on this, a 26 win streak was really really hard to obtain. Xiao Bei and Lin Dong were ready to pass the baton to Luocheng without any hesitation.

“Alright, I’ll take over, give me the ID and password!” Luocheng said, nodding his head.

After using a few accounts, they had decided to just buy accounts which were already level 30 but have never ranked before. These accounts cost about thirty to forty RMB on Taobao. When the time comes, they could just buy a name change when they gave this account to Da Luo on his twentieth birthday. He would definitely be touched by this gesture!

“Where are you, we’ll come over and watch you play.” Lin Dong said.

“I’m in an apartment beside the university, there’s a high end computer installed here.” Luocheng replied.

“I’m at Xiao Bei’s place, it’s not that far off from your place. We’ll come over…uh, is it convenient if we come over?” Lin Dong asked, hesitating.

“Yeah, it’s not a problem. Come on over.” Luocheng replied.

Ending the call, Luocheng’s mood lifted once again.

There were only 4 more rounds before they reached the 26 consecutive win streak!

Sitting in front of the computer, Luocheng took some time to calm his racing heart. He knew that every member of Team Wings carried a deep hatred for him. Not only did he give up on his dreams, he had even shattered their ideals. It was just one loss in England, he could have started over…

After one or two years, Luocheng thought that Da Luo had put it behind him. In reality, Da Luo had been unable to move on from that time. He intended to use the thing that he was most passionate about to earn a living and to win the favor of his girlfriend. In Luocheng’s eyes, this was a cruel and helpless reality.

Da Luo had amazing talent, one that wouldn’t lose out to himself.

He had clearly been swayed when Lin Dong had spoken to him, he could see that he still wanted to play. He definitely still wanted to stand on the stage where countless people would cheer for his heroic solo plays which had made him known as the Lone Gull!

It was a pity he hadn’t agreed in the end.

Luocheng did not want his departure from e-sports to affect Da Luo, forcing the latter to also leave a world which made his adrenaline pump fast. He had too much talent which could assist him in reaching the top, letting the world appreciate and worship him!

This 26 consecutive win streak was not only a birthday present. Taking a step back, this would also be a top up on his monthly income…

However, the true meaning of this present was to reignite Da Luo’s passion for e-sports, letting him reawaken as the Lone Gull in this turbulent world of e-sports!
