Chapter 144
Inside Jianghai 4AM Club’s training room .
GodV crossed his arms as he lowered his head, staring at his phone beside the keyboard .
Long Shengjue looked at him as he asked, “So you’ve decided to choose him?”
“I can’t think of anyone more suitable than him . ”
GodV turned his head around to look at Long Shengjue after he finished speaking . He pondered for some time before he continued, “You’ve seen it with your own eyes . His marksmanship, reaction speed, and intuition are extraordinary . He’s creative and can always make a comeback despite being in a disadvantageous situation . ”
GodV paused for a while before saying, “There’s no question about Lily’s marksmanship as a sniper . But you know well that PlayerUnknown’s Battleground is unlike other FPS games . What our squad needs is more than a sniper .
“What’s more intriguing is that I can’t seem to grasp his true strength . ”
GodV’s expression looked rather complex as he spoke .
Long Shengjue recalled scenes of the match as he listened to GodV . He came to the realization that it was indeed what GodV had mentioned .
Long Shengjue took a deep breath before he asked, “What did he say? If I’m not mistaken he’s still a student . ”
“He hasn’t replied me yet . ” GodV stared at his phone quietly . “But I’ve made it clear that our squad will compete in online competitions most of the time and there won’t be much conflict with his school . ”
Long Shengjue nodded as he listened . “I guess all that’s left is that he feels your sincerity and will consider our offer . ”
Inside a residential building in Jianghai .
‘Friend, are you interested in playing in the pro leagues?’
Liu Zilang was surprised as he sat in front of his computer, reading GodV’s message which came together with a voice message as well .
If GodV were to ask him this question a week earlier .

“Do you want to have a career in an FPS game?”
Liu Zilang would have rejected him without any hesitation .
That was because he had yet to come in touch with the game PlayerUnknown’s Battleground .
However, it was different now . Although he had not been playing the game for long, Liu Zilang truly felt the game’s charm .
The detailed graphics .
The rich and versatile gameplay .
The thrilling battles in it were extremely nostalgic to him as they made his blood pump with excitement!
Hence, Liu Zilang had started to unconsciously yearn for something .
He was looking forward to fighting against stronger players!
He was looking forward to conversing with the best players!
GodV’s offer and consideration toward Liu Zilang who was a student had indeed tempted the latter .
Liu Zilang was never a person who would beat around the bush when it came to such matters .
He already knew what he wanted and GodV’s terms were aligned with him .
Hence, Liu Zilang took out his phone and replied .
“Sure, I’ll give it a try . ”
As Liu Zilang placed his phone down, he recalled GodV mentioning about Douyu’s PUBG Golden Legend’s Grand Final where the top 24 squads would compete with each other next Tuesday night . There were a few familiar squads and people that he knew .

Liu Zilang’s smile gradually turned strange over time…
Liu Zilang played a few games with Chen Yifa and Zhang Xiaotong that night . During that time, he did something unbelievable in his stream when countless players requested him to reveal his face .
He ended the stream and went offline!
Everyone raged while Liu Zilang laughed in front of his computer .
In the midst of everything, he vaguely recalled that there was something happening that day…
Liu Zilang rolled around on his bed before he opened his eyes as he realised .
‘That’s right, Today is Zhang Xiaotong’s sports day!”
He was the one who said that he wanted to see her compete .
Liu ZIlang immediately got up at that thought .
He noticed the house was quiet when he entered the living room . Naturally, Zhang Xiaotong had already left .
Liu Zilang was flustered .
It was obvious that this girl wanted him to see her compete and yet she did not remind him before she left . What if he had overslept?
She was way too prideful .
She needed to be taught a lesson .

Liu Zilang took a quick shower and went out only to come back again to comb his hair and change his clothes before he went out for real .
After all, he was going to the competition to support Zhang Xiaotong . If he were to be as casual as he was in the past and embarrass her in front of her friends, she would definitely hate him for it .
Liu Zilang got hold of a taxi as he daydreamed about the days when he was still in primary school . His primary school was located in the central of Jianghai University .
As Liu Zilang revealed the name of the school to the driver, the latter said cheerfully, “Hey youngster, you look like you’re in primary three . My daughter is studying there as well and I heard that Sport’s Day is today . I’m too busy to head over there so her mother is attending instead . Are you participating in any sports?”
Liu Zilang’s lips twitched as he raised his head and stared into the rear mirror .
He rubbed his chin as he hid his happiness . He had dressed himself up a little bit .
That was enough to make him look as young as a primary three student?
This driver had quite…
Good eyes!
Liu Zilang smiled as he nodded obediently, enquiring about the driver’s daughter .
As the driver exchanged a few words with Liu Zilang, he might have realized that Liu Zilang was not such a good person . He then became cautious of his words and refused to reveal anything about his daughter .
Liu Zilang’s eye started twitching as he realized what was going on…
Liu Zilang paid for his ride as the taxi stopped near the entrance of Jianghai University .
From the side of the street, Liu Zilang stared at the taxi as it left . He wished with all his heart that the driver’s daughter would not marry before thirty .
Liu Zilang then turned around and stared at the school that welcomed him with seven big balloons at the entrance of Jianghai University .
There were words written on the balloons .
Combined together, it read “Jianghai University’s Sports Day” .
There were banners everywhere . At a glance, they were from corporations that had worked with the university in the past, wishing them a successful and fulfilling Sports Day .
The university welcomed everyone with open arms as it was Sports Day and a weekend as well . Hence, many parents had parked their cars outside the entrance as they had come to see their children compete in the festival .
Liu Zilang stood at the entrance for some time . As he was about to step into the school, he vaguely heard someone scream from behind him .
“Langzi!
“Langzei!”
Liu Zilang turned around and saw a black mini van parked by the roadside .
He knew who had called him from behind the moment he heard the word Langzei .
Other than Li Muqiu,
No one else called him that .
Liu Zilang recalled what had happened in the past as he heard Li Muqiu’s voice…
Liu Zilang clenched his fist as he put on a smile on his face and walked over to Li Muqiu .
Li Muqiu seemed to be very excited as he saw Liu Zilang . He waved excitedly in the car, completely oblivious to his impending doom…
