'Tap,tap, click, click'
The index finger on the key 'D'. The ring finger on the key 'A' and the middle finger on the key 'W'. Vigorously clicking the mouse to attack the opponent. "Hah." A simple laugh made by Ye Muchen.
"Don't be too proud of yourself, you died 4 times." Said a voice beside Ye Muchen. Muchen replied, "Li Huan, mind your business. You died 3 times too."
Ye Muchen's character, Siren, cast water bless which killed the enemy's character, Flora. Siren quickly went ahead to the last turret in the middle lane and casted an Illusion melody and a water splash with the help of the minions and the turret of Team Solitare.
"Everyone, attack the crystal." Commanded Ye Muchen and he cast out every power he could use of Siren's to destroy the crystal. His team, SNFX, used all their powers to destroy the enemy team's crystal and less than 30 seconds later, BOOM. The crystal was destroyed and SNFX had won the LOACT (Legend of Ace Competition Tournament) of 2018.
The members of the team gathered around in a circle and let out their right hand in the center and cheered " 1,2,3, GO SNFX." Happily. Both teams came out of their gaming room and shook hands with each other.
Team SNFX went to the center of the stage to claim their trophy as the winners of the LOACT 2018. The team picked up the trophy which was said to be the biggest trophy made, in the history of all LOACT trophies.
After an interview with the reporters they hopped on their bus and went back to their base. SNFX became the first ever chinese e-gaming team to win LOACT 5 times in a row!
"They were literally smashed by us. They had terrible communication and did not even get the emerald dragon." Said Zhang Mofan.
"It is okay. They, after all, are newbies anyway. This was their what, second year after debuting?" Said Ye Muchen. All of them went to their rooms in the base to freshen up, eat and then sleep.
"Ye Muchen, may I see you in my office please?" Called out Yang Mingze, the CEO of SNFX. Muchen followed Mingze to his office and closed the door behind them.
"You did good today, very well actually. We have made history because of you." Said Yang Mingze while on his way to sit on his chair.
"Thank you, but it wasn't only me who made it possible to make history. It was also the hardwork done by all of the members." Said Ye Muchen proudly, with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, also true. But this is not what I want to discuss with you. I called you because I have some news.
Li Xiang will be SNFX's new leader. Isn't it amazing? " Said Yang Mingze as if he did not care about the current leader.
Ye Muchen was in shock. He was speechless,flabbergasted, without any words, nothing to say at all. He basically forgot how to speak.
At last, he finally said, "What?" In a confused manner. "Wasn't Li Xiang kicked out of his team, URLX?" Asked Muchen. Just after he said this, Li Xiang entered the room saying,"Yes, I was kicked out. But only because of rumors."
"What about me? Asked Ye Muchen. To this, Mingze replied in a somewhat happy manner, "You can be their trainer or be a team member under Li Xiang's command."
"I would choose the second option if I were you." Added Xiang. Hearing this, Muchen sternly and angrily said while banging the table, " You will see my resignation letter by tonight." And he walked out of the room, banging the door shut.
Both Mingze and Xiang were surprised to hear him say he quit being a professional gamer.
Ye Muchen used the elevator to his dorm room. He quickly took a piece of paper and wrote his resignation letter. After, he submitted his letter to Yang Mingze. He came out of his room to go buy groceries. As he was buying some chips and some other things, Li Huan, his teammate saw him go inside the store.
She picked up his basket and put her things inside his basket. "Hey, why do you look so sad. Did something happen?" Asked Li Huan. "It's nothing." Replied Muchen sadly.
Although Li Huan suspected something was wrong, she let it go.
She walked around the store and Ye Muchen followed behind. She kept taking the most useless things like cello tape and scissors. At last she finally came to the cash register. "I'll pay." Said Muchen. Li Huan replied "Okay, your choice."
After paying, he took the 3 bags filled with the most useless things, but Li Huan took the bags from him and went back to the SNFX building. Li Huan went through the automatic door, bouncing around and talking. As soon as she turned around to look at Ye Muchen, he was not there.
He was standing outside the door. She came running back, but the door did not open. Turns out, Muchen locked the door from outside and the automatic door wasn't so automatic anymore.
"What? Open the door. What's wrong?" Said Li Huan in a muffled and confused voice. "I am not the team leader anymore. It's Li Xiang. I have resigned." Said Ye Muchen sadly. He could see she was stopping her tears from rolling down her cheeks and somehow keep them in her eyes.
They aligned their hands on the glass door and looked at each other sadly. Li Huan's eyes said "Don't go. Don't leave me alone." Ye Muchen's eyes said "It's okay. You can do it."
Muchen walked away and disappeared in the distance. Li Huan was very sad and started crying with the door supporting her head. Her legs felt like jelly and she fell to the ground while crying and the security person had to help her get up and sit on a bench. Yet she continued crying out of sadness.
Meanwhile, Ye Muchen was walking in the cold snow with his hoodie on. After a while, he found an internet cafè. The board read 'MERRY INTERNET CAFÈ ' . Ye Muchen walked inside this 'Merry Internet cafè' and saw a poster saying 'NOW HIRING INTERNET CAFÈ MANAGER'.
Since Ye Muchen was now jobless and had only a few bucks in his pocket, he decided to work as an internet cafè manager. He quickly went over to the check-in counter. "Hello sir, welcome to Merry Internet Cafè. To play on our computer, I will need your identification card." Said a medium-pitch girly voice.
"I would like to be the internet cafè manager." Replied Muchen. "Pardon?" Said the girl. "Over there. It says that you're hiring an internet manager."
"Oh, yes. Come over that side. We can sit and discuss over there." The girl pointed over to a few seats and took a clipboard and a paper with things written on it. "My name is Mei na. I run this place so I will be your boss." Continued the girl.
"Can you fix a light bulb?" Asked Mei na. "No." Replied Ye Muchen. "Can you connect disconnected computers?" Again, asked Mei na. "No." Replied Muchen. "Do you know how to fix the server?" Asked Mei na trying to not punch Muchen in his face.
As expected, Ye Muchen replied with the same answer he gave for the past 3 questions. "So what can you do?" Asked Mei na angrily. "I can eat and play Legend of Ace professionally." He replied.
"Do you atleast know your name?" She asked sarcastically. Muchen,too, replied sarcastically, "No I don't." The girl sat their helplessly after hearing this terrible joke. "It's Ye Muchen."
"Ye Muchen? Wait. Are you the professional gamer, Ye Muchen? Leader of Team SNFX?" Asked Mei na excitedly. "No. We only look alike.Plus, our names are different, i dont have a 'G' in my name." Said Muchen. "So, am I hired?"
"How desperate are you?" Asked Mei na. "Very. I have no job, only 7 yuan in my pocket." replied Ye Muchen. "Fine. I will teach you these things. You're hired. Your salary will be... Well, depends on how well you work and how much damage you do instead of good." Said Mei na.
"YES YES!!" Shouted Muchen while jumping around happily.
