“Commander Qin . ” A skinny-looking young man walked into Section C, intercepting Yin Qin .

“How is it? See any strong teams out there?” Yin Qin inquired .
Yin Qin was not so arrogant as to believe that they could effortlessly take down every single team in the Dragon Rising . There were elite lone wolves wandering the place too—if they formed into a team and played a few games together, it would be unwise to underestimate them .
“That ATM team is pretty good,” the skinny one replied .
Nicknamed Kitten, he was the archetypal unemployed loafer, loitering around cyber cafés, sometimes working behind the counter to earn a bit of cash, occasionally assisting Yin Qin with something or other .
“Oh, that bunch of university students?” Yin Qin’s eyebrows rose .
It was essentially impossible to find elite players from amongst the ranks of high-school students, since they didn’t have the time to play .
University students were a different matter, especially the ones in their third or fourth year, who had all the time in the world to play LoL . Many of the top Ranked players were still in university .
On that topic, a particular saying had been gaining some popularity: It was said that those university players who were most skilled at LoL, were also developing the knack to take their fortunes into their own hands .
Ah, and Yu Luocheng was soon to join their proud number . He shouldn’t be led astray .
Kitten described Team ATM in exact detail, “Right from the start, they picked Master Yi, to which Annie was the response . Later, it turned out that Master Yi would be Jungling with Teleport .
“Several times they won in Mid, with Yi either joining the fight or Teleporting somewhere, forcing 4v2 or 4v3 situations . Twice they dove the enemy’s Tower to secure a kill, with Master Yi using Meditate to tank the Tower’s attacks . Team Pride lost their Bottom lane completely . ”

Team ‘Pride’ was the one that Huang Mi was in . They should be among the top five teams in the Dragon Rising, but they’d gotten their butts kicked by a bunch of university boys .
Commander Qin nodded . “Right, we’ll have to keep a close eye on these ATM guys . ”
He’d been sending people to gather information on the stronger teams in the Dragon Rising . It was critical to know one’s enemies as well as oneself .
“Commander, isn’t it our turn now?” The ADC of Team Scarlet smiled lazily at Yin Qin .
Their ADC was nearly the same age as Yu Luocheng, a guy by the name of Xue Haiyang . He was also a university student on summer break . Usually, he spent his summers working for Qin to earn some spending money .
“Right . Speaking of which, why hasn’t our Support player shown up yet?” the team leader Huang Yu asked . He himself played AP Solo Mid .
“No problem, it’s just qualifiers . Even 4v5, we’ll still get an easy win, hahaha!” their Jungler, Xiao Dao, declared .
Xiao Dao had been with Commander Qin the longest, one of the original members farming online games in his workshop, now re-assigned to play League of Legends .
“Don’t let your guard down,” Yin Qin said . “Come on, let’s go . Don’t worry, he’ll definitely be here . ” Even as he said this, he was already moving out, leading his four men of Team Scarlet to the MOBgaming computers in Section B .
Yin Qin was a stickler for details . Since their team name was ‘Scarlet’, all the team members were wearing shirts the color of freshly spilled blood .

Xue Haiyang, Xiao Dao, Huang Yu, and Xiao Tongtong had each made their names in the Dragon Rising Cyber Café long ago . 1 Each of them was undoubtedly an elite LoL player .
When they entered behind Commander Qin, wearing those blood-red T-shirts, there was an aura about them that caused people in the aisle to move out of their way .
“Here comes Team Scarlet!”
“Whoa, scarlet uniforms! Why didn’t I think of preparing a team uniform!”
“They’re so cool! That’s what you call ‘elite’ . When their enemies see them dressed like that, I wouldn’t be surprised if they wet their pants!”
A young man, caught in the frenetic action of his own game, turned when he heard that Team Scarlet had appeared, gazing in awe at these legendary players . When they were out of sight, he returned his attention to his own screen, where an angry text message had appeared in the chat window: “What the hell kind of Support are you, damn it! You don’t want to play anymore, so you die, AFK, and let them have a Tower? Are you trolling?”
Face frozen, the young man didn’t know how to explain himself .
There were people all along the aisle in this section, but they hurried to get out of the way of the oncoming parade of scarlet uniforms . Of course, as regular patrons here in this cyber café, they were friends with many of the audience, and they exchanged smiles and greetings as they walked past .
“So this is the strongest team in the Dragon Rising?” Amongst the crowd, a pretty girl with long, flowing hair whispered to the watchful man by her side .
“Exactly, exactly . Previously, during friendly matches within this cyber café, Team Scarlet joined in the fighting, and wiped out pretty much everyone else!” Wang Qin gushed .
As he spoke, he noticed Yin Qin looking their way . He nodded faintly at the long-haired beauty .
“Eh, Commander Qin knows you?” Wang Qin exclaimed in surprise .
“I’ve met him once . It’s actually Yu Luocheng who knows him,” Yang Qianqian replied .
Back then, when Yu Luocheng brought Yang Qianqian to meet Yin Qin in Section C, the only thing she knew was that they were a strong team . She hadn’t realized that they commanded such prestige within the Dragon Rising, the assumed champions-to-be .
It was also only now that she was starting to understand what it had really meant, for Commander Qin to have extended an invitation for Yu Luocheng to join them .
“How would Yu Luocheng know Commander Qin?” Wang Qin’s confusion had only deepened . However, he didn’t dwell on the matter . Turning to Sun Yang, beside him, he said, “You suck the most . Team Scarlet’s match will be starting soon . Hurry up and go find a spot behind them, so you can watch how their pro Support plays . What are you still doing here?”
Sun Yang cast a hapless look towards Yang Qianqian, reluctantly moving to enter the fray . It was fortunate that he was blessed with the natural advantage of height, so that even if he couldn’t get that close, he could still see what was going on .
“Something’s off, here . ” Wang Qin counted the team members again . “Commander Qin is the coach, so he shouldn’t be playing . Does that mean Team Scarlet is only fielding four people for this game?”
Others had noticed the same problem . Everyone had heard that Team Scarlet had found themselves a new Support player, but few had actually ever seen him .
“Commander Qin, why do you only have four players here?” someone asked .
“He’s on his way,” Yin Qin answered shortly .
“Who’s your new Support? I heard that it’s Wu Kai?”
“Idiot, Wu Kai was given the boot by the commander, just the other day—how could it possibly be him?”
“Then who?”
“Someone amazing . Better than Wu Kai, even?”
Under this deluge of questions, Yin Qin smiled without reply, effecting an air of mystery .
Of course, in his heart he was grumbling, ‘Screw this! When is that bum Yu Luocheng going to show up? Are we really going 4v5, here?’
He wasn’t picking up his phone . This was a big damn joke he was playing, here!
