FOG
Chapter 121

They had the provocation from Sacred Swords captain in front and Shi Luos post-match counterattack in the back. The conflict between Free and the Sacred Sword was officially brought front and center.

Even the in-game push notification about the World Championships has content related to the two teams, allowing players to evaluate each teams performance in this World Championships.

Sacred Sword wasnt even past the Group stage. They really didnt have any performance that could be evaluated. But in terms of the strong words laid down by the linchpin of each team

Sacred Swords captain said that they were only here to play the finals. And Shi Luo said that he wouldnt lose another match before the end of the World Championships. Comparing the two, Shi Luos words actually came out a lot tougher.

Sacred Swords captain only booked the finals for themselves in advance while Shi Zai, this newborn calf who wanted to f*ck up the tiger, already crowned themselves king in advance.

Sigh, each is more superb than the other... I was actually worried Shi Luo would have nabbed the trophy on his way out after the interview today. And then the organizers here would have to call the police to report us for stealing...

Really, given how he was acting during the interview, he really might have just gone through with it.

Puppy, this money-grabbing genius, after qualifying for the group stage, ate dinner with the rest of the team and returned to the hotel. While the game replay session hasnt yet started, he opened a live broadcast with his hair still wet.

Puppy borrowed a selfie stand from a girl among the clubs staff. He propped it up in the hotel training room. While wiping his hair, he analyzed with the fans, You guys tell me.

Now that weve gotten to this point with the strong word; later if we, our team and Sacred Sword, run into one disastrous defeat after another and get sent home in the quarterfinals... Tsk, that scene. I dare not even think about it.

The people in the live chat were scolding Puppy for having a crow beak. Puppy was helpless. Theres wins and losses in every competition. It wasnt completely impossible that we have even lost in the Group stage.

There are 16 teams from all over the world and theres one champion. You think those other fifteen just die? Theyre alive, you know...Its not completely outside the realm of possibility.

While talking, Yu Sui and Chen Huo also entered the training room. Seeing that Puppy was doing a live broadcast, Yu Sui bypassed the camera and sat to one side and played with his phone. Puppy deliberately turned his phone towards Yu Sui to show the fans and he continued to talk on his own.

Its not impossible for both of us to wipe out in the quarterfinals. Were the first seed in Group A and we can no longer meet Sacred Sword in the next stage. I dont know who will wind up fighting with who. In any case, this is the situation.

If we dont wind up in the same half during the drawing of lots for the quarterfinals, then we wont even meet them in the semifinals. Its not easy to tell. Stranger things have happened. Both of us could wipe out in the quarterfinals...What?

Youre asking if Sacred Sword is the first seed in their group? Thats just nonsense.

So, we wont encounter Sacred Sword for at least half a month. The only thing we can do is to mouth off indirectly to each other like this. Puppy squinted to look at the live chat and read, Did-you-regret-laying-down-those-strong-words......

R//Ad latSt ch/a/pters at n(v)e(l)bin/.c/o//m Only

Puppy sneered, Whats so wrong about laying down some strong words? Sacred Sword can smear dirt on our faces to mouth off and we cant fight back? Please be considerate of your Luo Zai.

Really, if he werent still an active player and one that has to continue to fight in the Championships, he probably wouldnt have just ended it with some strong words today.

Yu Sui looked at the phone and suddenly said, Watch what you say.

I know, I know. Im watching it. Puppy continued to talk to his mobile phone, I know you all have good intentions. Youre afraid that later on, were going to be slapped in the face. You dont want us to say too much.

But it really isnt necessary. Were not afraid so what are you afraid of? Your Shi Zai isnt afraid either. Think about it carefully.

Arent the only times he has ever gotten angry at the sprayers was when it involved a certain slag man? Shi Luo isnt afraid of being sprayed himself. You dont need to protect him like this.

Chen Huo was caught by Shi Luos unrestrained speech and he still hadnt recovered from it. He couldnt help slapping the table and saying, Theres really no use trying to persuade us. Were not usually like this, but this time we werent the ones who started this, they were. Ive had enough.

We werent doing anything to them and they actively tried to provoke us. Then, I have nothing good to say. See you in the finals.

Puppy smiled at the live chat, Actually, everyone thinks this way but only Evil dared to say it. Why didnt we say it before...

Puppy laughed mockingly at himself, ...I was educated by the sprayers. I learned how to behave.

Im really not afraid of the sprayers. Its just that after a few incidents, I just found it troublesome. Every time I said something, I would be asked about it again and again. It was like beating a dead horse.

It was annoying... Puppy dried his hair and threw the towel aside. To be honest, I admire this about Shi Luo. Ive played for a few years longer than him but in this respect, I really am not as good as he is.

Hes the kind of player whos not afraid of being hit and who wont learn to behave. Chen Huo was also playing with his mobile phone and said, Would you believe me if I told you that even if we lose in the quarterfinals this time, if he encounters a similar interview in the future, as long as the other party dares to provoke him, he would still say those fighting words right back?

Thats his character...the sprayers should just give up on trying to teach him to behave because its useless.

While Shi Luo himself was not there, in a rare display, Puppy and Chen Huo said a few good things about Shi Luo.

Puppy felt that his teeth were tingling from the cringey-ness so made a timely end to that topic. The live chat was filling up with calls for Yu Sui. Puppy was left with no choice. He turned his head around and called to Yu Sui.

Only after yelling to Yu Sui several times did Yu Sui say, without even raising his head, Im busy.

Puppy zoomed in and out, so that fans in the live broadcast room could see Yu Sui more clearly, Whats do you mean youre busy? Who are you talking to on WeChat?

The person-in-charge for the Chinese division. Yu Sui said calmly, Zhou Huo couldnt eat or sit still during dinner. On a whim, he decided to contact the person-in-charge for the Chinese division and asked them to prepare in advance a draft for our quarterfinal knockout victory.

He was afraid they wouldnt be able to make a good one later because they would be strapped for time.

Puppy was dumbstruck. Hes already booked our victory in the quarterfinals? You really had him make it?

No. Yu Sui raised his hand to show Puppy his mobile phone screen, The person-in-charge contacted me and I told him that Zhou Huo was gotten a bit addle-headed recently so he should just ignore him.

Tsk, Shi Shen can be really harmful; really harmful. Its gotten too much into his head. Puppy was watching the live chat calling out for Yu Sui. In order to attract more traffic to his broadcast, he began to talk about Yu Sui and Shi Luo.

How are Yu Sui and Shi Luo? Theyre fine, of course... Puppy smiled, Hey, do we have any girlfriend or boyfriend fans here? Youre not going to feel jealous now are you? If youre not then Ill tell you something about them.

The live chat was one in saying that they wouldnt feel jealous. Those few who said that they would be and were telling Puppy to shut up were quickly squeezed out.

A certain slag man...really, it was quite unexpected. Before, Chen Huo and I never expected that he could be this doting on someone that he was dating.

Puppy looked back at Yu Sui and when he saw that Yu Sui hadnt gotten up to beat him, turned back and continued on, Before we played in the first round of the Group stage, we would train for so long every day. We didnt get enough sleep and we couldnt really rest too much.

Especially the two strikers. Players who choose to be strikers cant really rest. If they get the slightest bit lazy, they lose the feel in their hands. You cant say that they have to get plenty of rest because of the competition.

Then, they would really will become wastes. We needed to do high-intensity training even when we were about to play in the match. Then that day, after we just played in the Group stage, everyone was sleepy and Evil was the sleepiest.

Ill let you see what our team lounge is like.

Puppy took a tablet and found a picture for the fans. See? There are a lot of chairs but only two long sofas. Generally speaking, the players would sit on the sofas here because then we could lean back and rest or catch up on sleep.

The staff would have their pick of the chairs. Which means to say that us four players share two couches. Two on each couch.

Puppy put down the tablet and said, But...your Shi Shen, because he was too sleepy, was pushed by a certain someone onto the sofa to make up for sleep. He took up the entire sofa. Guess where the other person who was supposed to be on that sofa sat instead?

The live chat was saying that Yu Sui took over the other sofa. Puppy smiled, Yu Shen isnt that much of a brute...We took the other sofa and your Yu Shen was sitting on the armrest of Shi Luos sofa. The down jacket that he usually wears was used to cover Shi Shen. Oh, dont you know?

Your Yu Shens long and generous down jacket was bought when we were about to go abroad...and its like it was bought for Shi Luo. Its worth more than 40,000 yuan, right? Tell me what could be wrong with a 40,000 yuan coat?

While were away from home, that deadly expensive down jacket is your Shi Shens quilt.

Puppy sighed softly, Tsk...really, are there any girls here? Listen to me, when you look for a boyfriend in the future, look for one like this. Hey, Ill ask for you if he has any brothers. Yu Shen, Yu Shen...

Yu Sui!

The fans almost exploded the live chat after hearing this. Yu Sui was playing with his mobile phone and listening to Puppy prattle on. After being shouted at by Puppy for a long time, he lazily said, No, Im an only child.

Puppy shrugged. It cant be helped. Hes an only child and in the future, all the family assets will be his. Damn it.

Yu Sui raised his eyes, Are you f*cking...its your live broadcast but you do nothing but talk about me all day. Do you think thats right?

Fine, I wont talk about you. Puppy smiled, Ill talk about Evil instead. Sigh, Shi Shen, every time he arrives the latest. No one can say who...theres no need to be jealous of Shi Shen. Finding someone like She Shen also isnt bad.

Although hes a little younger, he knows how to take care of people.

It happened during todays game... actually, it was Yu Suis own problem. When we were about to head to the stadium, he couldnt replace his thermos. It couldnt be helped and he couldnt bring any hot water. Puppy squinted to read the live chat.

Why dont we drink the hot water provided at the venue...?

Puppy said helplessly, We generally dont drink water from outside...especially in stadiums that arent our own. Anyway, its not important. Where was I? The missing thermos?

Ah. For us, its fine. We could just drink cold water. But a certain slag mans stomach...

cant take cold water. Especially in the dead of winter. If he drink cold water, his stomach is done for.

We were about to leave but he still couldnt replace it. Yu Sui said it was fine. It was just one afternoon. At worst, he just wont drink.

He didnt want to let Zhou Huo know because he would be flustered and it would disturb everyones mood. So, he didnt mention it. Puppy raised an eyebrow, When we got to the stadium, I saw...your Shi Zai.

Puppy said sourly, We arrived at the venue and had already signed in. We sat down to rest and prepare for the dress rehearsal. Your Shi Zai...

Puppy made gestured, Pulled open his thick coat and took an ordinary plastic water bottle from out his clothes and handed it to Yu Sui.

It was hot water he brought from the hotel. Without a thermos, he filled it in an ordinary plastic water bottle. He was afraid it would get cold so he kept it in his arms bundled with his jacket...

None of us, including Yu Sui, knew that he had brought hot water. Puppy looked back at Yu Sui, Just so this slag man could drink hot water, Shi Luo was like a schoolboy who snatched hot water for his girlfriend with menstrual cramps.

He was afraid Yu Sui would get thirsty and also that he would get cold, this f*cking...

As Puppy spoke, his temper flared up, F*ck! This broadcast is done. The more think about it, the more jealous I feel.
