Panda Novel

Tonight’s touch was not too bad, Ji Zhiyao played several matches, insanely leading the game and carried the team for almost all of them, a few times he even snatched away Mo Huaifeng’s MVP title.

Such that after Ji Zhiyao turned off his livestream, K and the rest roared wildly in the ear-mic. “Change is upon us, our daddy is no longer our daddy. It’s as if I can already see the selected person to be the next team dictator.”

Ji Zhiyao laughed heartlessly, then heard an indifferent voice. “Are you very pleased?”

Ji Zhiyao was instantly frightened, his laughter immediately became hissing. “No, my tooth hurts.”

Mo Huaifeng remained silent.

“What exactly have I missed in the days that I wasn’t around? The newbie is actually walking all over the Captain?” Another person cackling with laughter whilst speaking suddenly appeared in the ear-mic, inexplicably familiar.

Ji Zhiyao was a little surprised as he greeted him very happily. “Brother Xiao, you’re back at the base?”

“No, too lonely at home, I saw you guys chatting so merrily in the group chat and I couldn’t help but come and butt in.” Xiao said, “How’s it, little reserve, how’s the training by the team? Are you able to adapt?”

“Quite good.” Other than his teammates, each with more obscenities than the next, when they played, one more unreliable than the next, their Captain threatening to beat up their dog heads if they didn’t train properly at every turn…

His conscience hurt a little.

Ji Zhiyao came back to his senses and realized the remaining people online in the voice chat were only Xiao and himself. He was confused briefly and could not help but let out a “huh”.

Xiao said, “The match you guys played earlier, I entered the room to spectate, specially watching you. NoHomo, your awareness is especially good, but there are other places that are still lacking a little.”

Ji Zhiyao understood then.

This was Xiao specially guiding him through the voice chat.

He shifted his mouse, finding the video recording of the match earlier then pulled out his notebook and grabbed a pen. “Brother Xiao, go ahead, I’m carefully watching the video.”

Xiao also did not remain modest, after all regardless of his capacity as a senior or the two years that he had spent bonding with the other members of Mix, he was indeed the person most qualified to guide Ji Zhiyao.

“Look at the five minute mark, you took this creep and the little one beside it. They are very close to Captain, Captain has a habit of killing them first to level up.”

“17 minutes, the first wave of a small team fight in the middle lane, you appeared too early, if…”

“21 minutes, you shouldn’t have let go of the small dragon to get skills, if you get this boost, it will be much easier for K at the top lane…”

“33 minutes here, look, this movement…”

Throughout the video of the match that was 37 minutes long, Xiao pointed out the problems intermittently. Although they didn’t have too much influence on the match’s situation, changing some details would make the game much easier.

Ji Zhiyao nodded while listening, some minor shortcomings came with him from the start, no one reminded him previously too. Now that they were meticulously pointed out one by one by Xiao, there was a feeling of being suddenly enlightened.

“I will take note next time, Brother Xiao, are there any other problems?”

Xiao laughed. “I still thought that you would say, “Leave me alone, stop b*tching.”

Ji Zhiyao laughed resignedly. “Making me drop some bad habits is for the good of the team, I’m not foolish.”

“Alright, I actually still have some suggestions, for example your alphabetical movements…”

Ji Zhiyao listened on very attentively, stopping from time to time to write furiously, interrupt with some comments and explore more in-depth with Xiao.

By the time the two hung up reluctantly, it was already past 10 PM.

Ji Zhiyao had spoken till his mouth was dry. Picking up his water card and cup, he went out to get some water.

There was a long corridor between the dorm and the water room, merry laughter and angry curses sounded from time to time from the dorms on the two sides, and also lamenting and bellowing after losing matches.

The last few rooms that had their doors wide open obviously didn’t really pay attention to hygiene, the smell of cologne and smelly feet mixed together rushed into his nose, smelling extremely strange.

Ji Zhiyao held his breath, quickened his steps and turned into the water room.

Fetching a cup of cold water, Ji Zhiyao lifted his head and drank the whole glass on the spot, then he filled up his cup, bringing it back to his dorm.

Entering the room, he swept a glance at his table, realizing that the green notification light of his phone lit up again and again.

Placing his cup down, Ji Zhiyao doubtfully picked up his phone and flipped through it and saw a missed call.

A call from home, he didn’t know what was the matter.

He tapped on the dial-back, sitting back on the stool.

The call was quickly put through, the voice of a young girl sounded in Ji Zhiyao’s ears without any warning. “Brother!”

Hearing this voice, Ji Zhiyao instantly relaxed, replying lazily, “Mm.”

With that, he glanced at his wrist watch as if recalling something and asked, “Shouldn’t you be in school for self-study? Why are you at home?”

“I suddenly had a nosebleed at self-study session tonight, scared the wits out of my teacher. He directly approved my leave to let me go home.”

Ji Qingge’s voice was uncaring but it made Ji Zhiyao frown tightly. He went through all types of illness that will cause nosebleeds quite a few times in his mind, his expression turning upset. “Why did you suddenly get a nosebleed? Better now? Let mum make an appointment for you and go get a check?”

Ji Qingge curled her lip. “I’ve already said it’s nothing, probably because I haven’t been drinking much water these days, too dry. Hey, let’s stop talking about me, I still wanted to ask you. You’ve just left for less than a month and already created such a huge incident, most important thing is you’re still not telling me! Speak, do you already have someone else outside?”

Ji Zhiyao was baffled. “What nonsense are you saying? What have I done?”

“Joining Mix battleteam, are you still playing the fool?”

Ji Qingge unhappily “hmph-ed” and smacked her lips twice, pretending to be in deep grief. “Fi-god is so handsome, I’m really worried about you.”

“Go away, don’t force me to hit you when I come home.” Pausing, Ji Zhiyao spoke again, even more displeased than Ji Qingge. “Fi-god, you don’t do eSports, why call him so intimately?”

“Handsome guys are irrespective of boundaries.” Ji Qingge giggled, saying longingly, “Do well as your jungler reserve, when I’m on vacation I’ll come to Mix battleteam to visit you. I haven’t seen what a battleteam’s base looks like.”

“There’s so much that you have yet to see.”

Ji Zhiyao mumbled a word “troublesome”, then said reluctantly, “You shouldn’t keep thinking about relaxing, when you’re on vacation I’ll bring you out to have fun.”

“Got it got it, I will definitely study hard and do better everyday.” Ji Qingge suddenly remembered. “By the way, about you going to play professionally, I accidentally spilled the beans tonight, now mum and dad both know.”

“…”

Ji Zhiyao gritted his teeth, wanting to kill her.

“Oh yes, I heard that to play professionally you have to quit school to train, did you quit school too?”

“No.”

“Huh? But I already told mum and dad.”

“…”

“But don’t worry, they didn’t say anything, I feel that they’re already letting you be free.”

After a call with Ji Qingge, Ji Zhiyao felt like he had aged by three years.
