Inheritance of Two Trillion-Chapter 26 - Professional God_1
26: Chapter 26 Professional God_1
26 -26 Professional God_1
After a whole day at work, I finally made it to the end of the shift.
Today was Friday, and for the Marketing Department, they could enjoy their regular weekend off tomorrow, which was awesome.
Bai Xiaosheng packed his things, ready to head home.
In the midst of this, his phone rang—it was from Zhengdong Province.
“Bai, come to my place right now!” came the frantic call from Zhengdong Province over the phone, “Hurry up!”
“What’s the matter?” Bai Xiaosheng was startled.
“It’s a gaming emergency, King’s League, we’re one player short!”
Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.
Turns out, Zheng Pangzi was calling him to play a game.
The King’s League mentioned by Zhengdong Province was an extremely popular online game at the moment, with peak competitions both domestically and internationally.
The game featured a red and blue side; each team had five people, and the first to destroy the opponent’s main building would win.
There were a total of two hundred and forty heroes in the game to choose from, each with five unique skills.
As it was a team game requiring the coordination of five players, the strategies were highly variable, and with dozens of popular tactics, it was known as the “e-sports Go.”
Under the unrelenting urging from Zhengdong Province, Bai Xiaosheng had no choice but to take a taxi there.
At the bottom of the apartment where Zhengdong Province lived, Bai Xiaosheng saw him.
And three other people.
Zhengdong Province was talking to a pair of twins around a tall and skinny young man who looked proud and was about the same age as Bai Xiaosheng.
This person must be the substitute professional player that Zheng Pangzi had mentioned, Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.
After getting out of the car, Bai Xiaosheng walked towards them.
Zheng Pangzi noticed him and excitedly waved his hand.
“Come here, let me introduce you—this is my best buddy, Bai Xiaosheng, a gifted natural at gaming!” As Bai Xiaosheng approached, Zhengdong Province couldn’t wait to introduce him to the three.
Even now, Zhengdong Province still held Bai Xiaosheng’s past valiant performances in high regard.
“A gifted natural?” The tall, skinny young man sneered, “In our professional circle, we only look at actual strength!
Just don’t feed the enemy, that’ll be enough.
My name is Chen Baiyu, from the professional circle.”
The young man’s words seemed casual, yet they were full of arrogance, constantly mentioning the professional circle.
This tone displeased Bai Xiaosheng, but out of respect for Pangzi, he didn’t say anything and merely smiled faintly.
Zhengdong Province wasn’t pleased.
“What do you mean by that, Chen Baiyu?
Bai Xiaosheng is my best friend, and I could even forgo this match for him.
If you’re going to speak like that, I’m not going to be happy!”
Zhengdong Province’s face darkened.
“Hey, Old Zheng, look, Chen Baiyu, the great god, was just speaking casually, no need to get worked up!” one of the twins quickly tried to soothe.
“Yeah, we’re all friends here, haha, it was just a joke!” the other twin also chimed in.
The two of them were quite anxious, seemingly afraid that a fallout would mean they wouldn’t be able to play the match.
Chen Baiyu glanced at Zhengdong Province, “My bad, I spoke out of turn.
You hired me, so you call the shots.”
Zhengdong Province nodded expressionlessly, then pointed to the twins, introducing them to Bai Xiaosheng.
“This is Wu, and Little Wu!”
Bai Xiaosheng greeted the twins.
The twins were quite polite.
Actually, Bai Xiaosheng could understand why Chen Baiyu was unhappy.
Even as substitutes in the professional circle, they held pride and wouldn’t enjoy playing games with a bunch of ordinary people, let alone wait for someone.
“Let’s get moving, the time’s almost upon us,” Wu couldn’t help but urge.
“With the great god Chen Baiyu on our side this time, victory is assured!
Gold Tier Three, sweeping everything before us!” Little Wu couldn’t contain his excitement.
Gold Tier Three?
Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but glance at Chen Baiyu.
Pride was brimming on Chen Baiyu’s face.
In King’s League, the ranks were divided into Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and King, with each tier consisting of six stages.
Zheng Pangzi was only at Gold Tier Two, while this Chen Baiyu was at King Tier Three, a godlike figure in the eyes of ordinary players!
But Bai Xiaosheng had read an article once. freewebnoveℓ.com
True professional players who have entered the pro circuit don’t care about ranks, except for some clubs requiring pros to be fully leveled up, that is, at King’s League Tier Six.
“Let’s go!” Zhengdong Province waved grandly.
There was a high-end internet club nearby, and Zhengdong Province had reserved a room there in advance; the group headed straight for the reserved private room.
Upon entering the private room, Bai Xiaosheng saw five professional gaming computers lined up in a row.
Several people found their spots; Chen Baiyu unapologetically took the central main seat.
Bai Xiaosheng sat next to Zhengdong Province, on the very end.
The hardware here was good, and the keyboards were entry-level, but Bai Xiaosheng noticed that Chen Baiyu took off the club’s keyboard and threw it to the side, taking out his own from a bag—a professional mechanical keyboard worth thousands.
“Pros are just different!” Wu looked at that keyboard, his face filled with envy, unable to resist praising it.
Chen Baiyu smiled, evidently enjoying the compliments.
Do you really need to change keyboards when you’re playing against a bunch of ordinary gamers?
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head with a smile.
“I’ll chat with the ‘enemy’; you guys get ready,” Zhengdong Province said as he entered the game and opened the chat window, typing away rapidly.
After a while.
“So arrogant, way too arrogant!”
“And they want to live stream the match, do you want to embarrass yourselves online?”
“It’s driving me mad, this son of a bitch!
Can I open my mic and cuss him out?”
Zhengdong Province yelled furiously, one person disturbing the peace of the entire room.
Bai Xiaosheng was both annoyed and amused.
“Let’s form a team first, add each other as friends, right, what’s your in-game name?” Wu asked Bai Xiaosheng.
“My game name is ‘I am Little White’,” Bai Xiaosheng said.
It was an old account he had set up a year ago, just played casually without much thought in picking the name, currently at Silver Tier One.
“I am Little White?
Quite self-aware!” Chen Baiyu glanced at Bai Xiaosheng’s level and sneered, “Hope you don’t drag us down, got it?
Listen to commands, okay?”
Because of Zhengdong Province’s attitude, Chen Baiyu was growing increasingly displeased with Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng ignored him.
He hadn’t gotten angry before because he thought Chen Baiyu had a point.
But now, Bai Xiaosheng felt this person was really clueless!
Zheng Pangzi was completely engrossed in chatting with the other side, paying no attention to the conversation between the two beside him.
After a long while, Zheng Pangzi pushed the keyboard away and glanced at the team, “Yo, Bai, you’re ‘I am Little White’?
Pretty unique!”
In another private room of the same club, five people had already taken their places.
Sitting in the central main seat was a woman in her twenties, with skin as delicate as porcelain, hair flowing like waves, and a white shirt with two buttons undone, revealing a shockingly deep cleavage.
Different from Wei Xuelian’s aura, she fit more the popular image of a mature beauty.
Except this mature beauty had a look of boredom as she sucked on a lollipop.
The other people looked at her with awe.
“Just a bunch of nobodies, and you call me over for this, you think I have that much free time?” The beauty glanced at the slightly chubby guy beside her.
“Sis, it’s different this time.
I heard they’ve got a substitute pro player coming over,” a slightly chubby guy said seriously.
The beauty looked at him expressionlessly.
The chubby guy’s forehead began to sweat.
“Of course, that’s nothing!
You’re the third boss of Krait Battle Team, a genuine pro!”
