I Can Do It

Chapter 90

This stream, which had everyone thinking “is this even allowed,” concluded with Road entering the practice room, his team jacket draped around him, and taking Soft away.

That afternoon, the topic “#when will Soft play on the Korean server#” was replaced by “#Soft’s stream was arrested by Road#”; the topic following closely underneath it was “#Savior assimilates into China e-sports#”.

Oblivious bystanders clicked on the topics with the mindset of “your e-sports circle is so full of bullshit, any damn incident can make it onto the hot search.” After they finished watching the video clips, they then started begging for this blue-haired teacher’s streaming platform in the comment section.

Ding-ge had been in this industry for six years, but he had never encountered something as excessive as this before.

During their midnight snack, Ding-ge stood on the balcony, one hand on his hip as he held his phone and furiously laned against PUD’s manager. His voice was so loud that even the second team next door could hear him—

“What do you mean, my mid laner led your mid laner astray? Yes, Soft was the one who brought it up first, but is Savior a three-year-old child? He has his own opinions, he wanted to do that himself, understand!

“I’m twisting your words? To me, it looks like you’re forcefully shifting the blame! Such a big team can’t even protect its own members, just look at how awfully Savior was flamed on the Korean server and Ventbar, what are you doing as a manager? If Soft hadn’t helped him release his anger, I bet Savior would’ve become depressed on the spot!

“Thinking of it like that, you should be thanking me! When will you be sending over the tuition fee for Soft?!

“Oh right, let’s settle the hot search fee too—your team’s new mid laner hasn’t gotten on the hot search yet since joining the LPL, has he?

“I didn’t keep an eye on our team’s mid laner? Soft hasn’t publicly insulted anyone for two weeks now! Do you know how difficult that is to accomplish?! But then your mid laner approached him and immediately threw out five consecutive party invites, forcefully bringing that negative energy into our base! I’m telling you, if anything goes wrong with Soft’s performance in the upcoming matches, it’s all your mid laner’s freaking fault!!” 

Everyone else was sitting on the couch. Xiao Bai wanted to laugh, but didn’t dare to. He grabbed Pine’s jacket and covered his face with it, choking back his laughter to the point that his shoulders were shaking.

Pine: “Don’t you dare wipe your snot onto it.”

Yuan Qian couldn’t take it any longer either. He cupped a hand over his mouth and whispered, “He won’t be insulting and insulting and then end up challenging him to a fight, right?”

“Probably not.” Xiao Bai said, “Jian Rong has argued with so many people before, yet you’ve never seen him actually challenge anyone to a fight in real life over it.”

Jian Rong crunched down on his chips. “Don’t bring me into this.”

Lu Boyuan’s phone kept vibrating and buzzing. XIU had been texting him nonstop.

[XIU: Savior was just lectured by our coach, this is actually his first time being scolded since he joined the team.]

[XIU: But he isn’t sad at all, fuck, he’s in an even better mood than he was the day he joined. He was even humming a Korean song a moment ago.]
