You"re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 80 Part 2
The icy cold c.o.ke seemed to balance the burning heat on Tong Yao"s palm. She discovered that she couldn"t seem to put the gla.s.s of c.o.ke down-- --
Even though she knew very well that it wasn"t good for girls to drink cold drinks and that c.o.ke could make her fat.
She told herself that she shouldn"t drink c.o.ke, there was no benefit at all drinking it. d.a.m.n-- --despite constantly telling herself so, she had downed the remaining gla.s.s of c.o.ke into her mouth, ice cubes including. She crushed the ice cubes between her teeth.
[ZGDX, smiling: It"s not easy to turn down c.o.ke. I keep telling myself not to drink it, but my body wouldn"t let go.]
[Ah Mao"s mom: Falling in love is when you look around and everything surrounding you looks like his face. It was the power pole before, then a native Chinese dog, and now it"s a gla.s.s of c.o.ke.]
[ZGDX, Smiling: What did you see as Aijia"s face before?]
[Ah Mao"s mom: Stir-fried ong choy with fermented tofu.]
[ZGDX, Smiling: ……]
Tong Yao refused to continue the conversation with someone who was out of her mind.
……
Pretty soon, Tong Yao wasn"t in the mood to worry about whether he"s c.o.ke, or a power pole, or native Chinese dog to her.
Before going to bed that night, Xiao Rui announced that he had arranged a skirmish with a Korean team, OP, on Wednesday. The team was nicknamed ‘war G.o.d," a historically top team in the Korean region-- --
Each player on Team OP could play almost all the champions. It was impossible to do anything to hurt them during the ban & pick round-- --Just when you think you had picked a champion which could suppress the opponent"s picked champion, they would pick a different one, which you hadn"t thought about. And after careful checking, you"d find out the new champion could counter the champion you had picked in terms of skills and special abilities-- --In the meanwhile, the champion which you had tried to target in the first place had already been put to use in another position.
The switch would instantly change the team"s position from pa.s.sive to aggressive.
-- --This was the trick Team OP constantly played, shocking yet amazing.
What Tong Yao was most concerned about was Team OP"s mid player-- --Jin Yuguang had played for the team for five years, from an intern all the way to the core player. He was the captain of the team, tall and a bit overweight. Some people nicknamed him ‘the mainstay of OP"s champion pool." Though he wasn"t the one who usually carried the game for the team, his presence in any game was rea.s.suring to the team; even if the team was behind two matches, the team would eventually win the best of five.
-- --Their nickname ‘war G.o.d" was mainly given because of him.
Xiao Rui had arranged two skirmishes with them; Tong Yao would play one and Lu Yue would play the other one. The arrangement was to prepare ZGDX for the world tournament. By facing strong teams from Korea, ZGDX had to become more flexible in order to move further up-- --Neither Tong Yao, nor Lu Yue had any objections. Lu Yue had proved himself with his performance to be a qualified player for the team after he replaced Tong Yao for the game she had been banned from. Tong Yao wouldn"t dare relax on her own training since Lu Yue was right behind her……
Sleeping early like she first joined the team was already a thing of the past. It was quite normal for her to play ranked till 1 am-- --Usually when she came off the computer, her brain was blank, the only thing she could remember was positioning and farming.
After she had confirmed the training plan before she went to bed Sunday night, Tong Yao sat at her own seat the whole next day without moving much…...In order not to shame herself in front of her Korean counterpart on Wednesday, she wanted to make sure that even if she couldn"t kill the opponent, at least she could play on the same level as him.
She could make up her stream hours at the same time.
The latest version of the game wouldn"t allow players above Master level to play duo. So Tong Yao used Lu Yue"s id to play duos with Old K"s jungler. Lu Yue on the other hand used Tong Yao"s id to play solo.
