The National Sweetheart Livestreamer Is A Pro! - Chapter 196: Untitled
Although they weren’t in good moods, they still kept up with training every day until Yuan Wei brought more news into the training room.
“It’s been confirmed that our spot has been taken by Tall Boots.” Yuan Wei said with a long face. “eSports Association sent out the notice today. But the fortune out of the misfortune is that we retained the right to participate in the international qualifiers. If we want to get in, the only way is to fight for it by ourselves.”
Though they already had a premonition beforehand, but everyone was still a little upset when the decision was finalized. Nuo muttered, “All is great now, Tall Boots wins so easily, they get a spot directly without any work, this is literally a new level of luck. We don’t even know if they had a part in spreading hateful comments about us.”
Heng elbowed him. “Alright, that’s enough. Xiaoye is not such a person at all.”
Nuo shut up.
Ji Zhiyao stared at the screen before him. Colored blocks swung to and fro, his eyes were a little sore.

The worse scenario still took place after all.
They had been stripped of their spot, this also means that, after completing their entire overseas training, they only had less than ten days to prepare for the international league’s qualifiers.
Then in a month’s time, they have to compete with the other 79 battleteams from all over the world and get a placing in the top 10% to successfully qualify for the international league.
This would be a very difficult fight.
Ji Zhiyao tugged a corner of his lips, the blame in his heart was almost suffocating him.
As he was distracted, the colored blocks round before him ended in less than 20 seconds. Ji Zhiyao pulled off his headphones, then said, “I’ll go get water.”
The others all acknowledged it blankly.
Ji Zhiyao walked out of the training, opened the fridge in the kitchen and brought out a bottle of water, then downed it in one go.
Finishing one bottle, he pulled out a second bottle.
…
A.K stood up. “You guys are here.”
Mo Huaifeng nodded. “Yes, we’re here, waited for a long time?”
A.K shook his head. “I just arrived not too long ago, when I sent you a text I’d just sat down in the room. This is the jungler that you mentioned is trying out the speed class style? He looks very young.”
“Yes. Oh yes, I still have to introduce you, he is my boyfriend.”
“What?”
Mo Huaifeng nodded.
A.K suddenly burst into laughter. “You rascal, your temper is still as bad, I really don’t know how your boyfriend can tolerate you.”
“What are you saying! I’m warning you, our relationship is great, don’t tell him such things.”
A.K scoffed and glanced at the bewildered and confused Ji Zhiyao. “Quickly come in with your boyfriend, are you waiting for me to be surrounded by people here?”
“A has-been jungler, what right do you have to be saying that before a current internationally known player, where did you get your guts?”
A.K let out a “yah” and waved his fist at him. “I think you’re purely asking for a beating, how dare you be so impolite when speaking to an elder.”
Mo Huaifeng smiled and ignored A.K. Instead, he held Ji Zhiyao’s hand and switched to Chinese to tell him, “Let’s go in, don’t just stand here.”
Ji Zhiyao quickly turned around to close the door. “Yes yes yes! We must not let anyone else see the great A.K else we won’t be able to get out of here after this.”
Mo Huaifeng’s feelings suddenly became slightly complicated. “He’s not as popular as you think, I’m obviously more well-known than him.”
Ji Zhiyao stared at him with a look like he was staring at a fool. “Captain, I think you forgot to take your pills before you left the house, let’s not mention that we’re in Korea, even if it’s China, the number of people who can recognize the great A.K would be more than the number of people who recognize you.”
Damn it.
If A.K wasn’t amusedly watching there from the side, he would certainly teach Ji Zhiyao a lesson.
Both of them walked in. Mo Huaifeng had wanted to sit opposite A.K together with Ji Zhiyao, yet Ji Zhiyao only had eyes for his idol and tottered towards the seat that was the closest to his idol.
Mo Huaifeng instant looked towards A.K complicatedly, A.K grinned and spoke as if he was gloating over his misfortune, “Your boyfriend has great taste.”
“Shut up.”
“I refuse to.”
Hence A.K lifted his lips into the kindest smile, then said to Ji Zhiyao using choppy Chinese, “Hello.”
Ji Zhiyao was so agitated that he stood up with a whoosh and continuously bowed as he greeted A.K, “Hello senior A.K, very pleased to meet you. I’m Ji Zhiyao, the jungler reserve of Mix battleteam. I’ve always admired you, I didn’t expect to have the chance to interact closely with you today.”
Mo Huaifeng said snidely, “What are you saying so much for? He only knows the phrase ‘hello’.”
Ji Zhiyao was dazed for a moment, then grinned. “It’s fine it’s fine, I’m sure senior can understand my expression.”
A.K indeed could not understand, after nodding at Ji Zhiyao, he turned to ask Mo Huaifeng, “What did he say?”
Mo Huaifeng replied him with a serious look, “He said you look ugly, he was criticizing you, I’ve never heard him curse much.”
“Since you put it this way, then he must have been complimenting me. Son, get a mirror and take a look at your expression now, you want to lie to me? You’re still too inexperienced.”
Damn it.
At this time the sliding door was pushed open, a server entered, holding a tray with his body slightly bowed, then knelt as he moved all the dishes on it to the table before leaving and closing the door.
A.K gestured, “I ordered these earlier, their soybean paste stew is really not bad, let’s eat as we talk.”
Mo Huaifeng agreed with an “mm”, then said softly to Ji Zhiyao, “Let’s eat first.”
“Okay.”
He was originally unaccustomed to eating Korean food, yet A.K was right before him, the light from his idol had covered everything else. Ji Zhiyao thoroughly enjoyed his food and even did not forget to muse, “This is indeed a restaurant that my idol likes, the food is absolutely delicious.”
Seeing his flattering manner that insisted on all the praises despite the language barrier, Mo Huaifeng started to regret his decision of bringing him to meet A.K today.
Damn it, he was getting pissed off today.
A.K took a mouthful of the stew and asked, “So what’s your purpose in coming today? I don’t believe that you coming with your boyfriend is for something as simple as treating me to a meal.”
“There’s indeed something that I need to beg for your help.”
“Beg? You actually used this word, seems like things definitely aren’t as simple. Tell me about it, if I can be of help, I won’t reject.”
“Other than you, no one else can help.” Mo Huaifeng lifted his eyes. “He’s practicing the speed class style, both of you are junglers, you should be able to give him some experience.”
A.K almost choked on a mouthful of soup.
Though Ji Zhiyao could not understand their conversation, but seeing his own idol in trouble, he quickly poured a cup of water for him. A.K downed the water, then said, “Honestly speaking, it’s been so many years and I’ve yet to see anyone else other than you who wants to practice the speed class style, what is he thinking?”
“He wants to try a whole new, untried style, I felt that it might be very suitable for him, that’s why we’re here.”
