Chapter 360: 360
Of course, Luocheng was not going to waste his time playing another game with them .

But they soon found out that Team Demolition was more persistent than they had thought in the days after that .
This team, after being utterly defeated by Luocheng and his team, waited for them in the café every day . They did not stop babbling about having another private game until the fifth day, when Team Birdie finally went against Team Demolition’s long-time nemesis, Team Buttpain .
It was easy to tell the cultural level of this team judging by their “glamorous” name .
As usual, Team Skycrown staged an unorthodox formation, such as a Mid Ahri and a Support Anivia .
When Team Demolition witnessed their strongest rival, Team Buttpain, being dismantled effortlessly by the illogical lineup, the five of them finally came to a realization . Team Birdie was not just any ordinary team at the provincial level, no, this team was without a doubt stronger than any other team they had played against before .
As a result, none of them dared to mention the rematch from that point onward, instead, they began to obediently watch from beside them while pleading for guidance .
“Luocheng, try this . It’s the best cappuccino in town . ” Xu Ben approached Luocheng with a fawning smile .
Luocheng and his team were sitting leisurely in front of their computers while waiting for the next match .
Speaking of which, playing LOL in this café was extremely enjoyable . Firstly, the internet speed and hardware here were exceptional . The glass window faced the busy road directly, which created an oddly harmonized environment, and above all, the café waitresses were all pretty girls wearing maid costumes .

Team Skycrown had never experienced such luxurious treatment .
Luocheng accepted the coffee and drank it graciously . ‘Yuck, it tastes like isatis root extract . ’
Seeing Luocheng had drunk the coffee that he served, Xu Ben immediately smiled while rubbing his hands . “Bro, can you teach me how to use Anivia as a Support? Your placement of the ice wall was unreal . That was the first time I’ve seen someone so good at using Anivia as a Support!”
“I was just meme-ing . That champion is flawed to be used as a Support to begin with,” Luocheng took another sip and said lightly .
“You weren’t even playing seriously? Do you know how infuriated Fei Xu from Team Buttpain was?” Xu Ben was fully convinced now .
Xu Ben admitted that he had underestimated this team when he had first met them . However, he was still baffled as to how a kindergarten-level supporting Garen could have beaten the ass out of him . He was, after all, a top Diamond-ranked player in the national server and had witnessed a lot of weird lineups himself . Luocheng’s playstyle was definitely the first of his kind .
Fei Xu from Team Buttpain had also scoffed at Luocheng’s champion selection at the beginning, but his light-hearted mockery had quickly turned into frustrated grumbles after he had been stunned and blocked by Anivia numerous times, and Xu Ben couldn’t be happier gloating at his misfortune .
All in all, it was a pleasure to watch Luocheng play as a Support .
Usually, the Support was the position with the least significance in a game, and Xu Ben was actually considered the weakest link in his team . And so, even though he wished to switch to a more admirable role and carry his team, his inadequacy forbade him from doing so .
Nevertheless, Luocheng’s Support was on an entirely different dimension . His impact in the game was more than any ordinary Support that Xu Ben had seen before this . He was often spotted in the mid lane out of nowhere and his speed of reinforcing his teammates was unbelievably quick . More so, he would sometimes play the Jungler’s role and gank the enemy near the monster’s camp, mid lane, or even the top lane . He seemed to always appear at the right time and at the right place .

A roaming-style Support was very skill-demanding as being absent from the lane for too long might sacrifice the ADC’s development . Xu Ben was riddled by how Luocheng managed to balance between securing his ADC’s farming while dictating the tempo of the game . He had been envisioning such a playstyle for quite some time, but couldn’t find a skillful player to show him the way, not until now .
“Bro, stop pretending . You must be from some sort of professional team . I am being completely sincere when I say I want to learn how to Support from you . Here is my gold card for this club, you can take it and spend it as you like . All your expenses will be put under my tab . ” Xu Ben offered generously .
Luocheng recognized the gold card in his hand . It was the same VIP card Xu Ben had flashed to them when they had first met .
“We won’t be here long . We will leave as soon as we obtain the provincial championship . ” Luocheng replied, indirectly rejecting his offer .
“Pro… provincial champion…” The chubby guy at the side swallowed .
‘For God’s sake! Who is this Team Birdie from Sandy County? Their aim is the provincial champion?’
Xu Ben and K were both flabbergasted as well .
‘Do you know how difficult it is to win a provincial-level competition? Why do you make it sound like it’s just a piece of cake?’ Team Demolition who had become a monthly champion once had been demolished the last time they had entered the provincial qualifier .
“Alright, alright . Since we are still in HangZhou, I guess it’s fine to give you a tip or two for some extra income . ” Luocheng was moved by Xu Ben’s persistence and agreed to his plea .
“Thanks, bro . Wait, I should call you master now!” Xu Ben laughed hysterically .
“Hold it . As I said, I am not doing it for free . You are going to play two hours of ranked games, which is equivalent to three games . I will be watching from the side and giving you advice on how to improve your gameplay throughout . These two hours are counted as a single course,” Luocheng said .
Luocheng was not so kind as to train these wealthy kids for nothing . He had not eaten well for the past few days, and the food in this café was simply too pricey for poor people like them .
“Oh… Okay . How much is one course then?” Xu Ben asked .
Luocheng raised his palm .
Xu Ben said sheepishly as he looked at Luocheng’s five extended fingers, “500?”
Luocheng was shocked and glared back at Xu Ben .
“Don’t tell me it’s 5000? That’s too much!” Xu Ben almost cried .
“Er…”
“1000! Master, my spending is closely monitored by my dad and I don’t have a lot left this month . 1000 per class is the best I can offer . 5000 is simply too expensive for me!”
“Deal!” Luocheng said hurriedly, as if he was worried that Xu Ben might regret it .
“You are such a big-hearted person! Deal!”
‘What the f*ck!’
Luocheng almost pissed himself . He had only been asking for 50 yuan!
He remembered that Yang Qian Qian earned about 100 yuan per hour by giving tuition to elementary school girls . All he would be doing was just sitting there and moving his mouth, so he reckoned that 50 yuan was quite reasonable . Besides, he was willing to make some friends around here since they would still be hanging around for quite some time .
Much to his shock, Xu Ben had counter-offered him 20 times more than what he would have asked, and that gave Luocheng quite a stun .
‘This kid is filthy rich! A wealthy guy like him cares so much about this class, I am not going to embarrass him by revealing my humble initial offer . ’
Who would pay 1000 yuan for a game training course?
‘Sigh . I seriously don’t understand kids nowadays . ’ Though he really wanted to chastise Xu Ben for his wastefulness, Luocheng figured he would be the wasteful one if he rejected such a lucrative job .
