[Episode 15]

Xiangkong,

I just can't get used to the days without you on the team.

Right.

You just feel itchy all over your body if no one lecture you for three days, right?

That makes sense.

Oh, right, Xiangkong.

I think it's not bad for you to join an overseas team.

Coach Luo said that the team ranks third in the whole world.

And they are willing to pay such a huge amount for you. How genuine is that?

Enough. I have my plans.

You just focus on your game and stop worrying.

Oh, right. You should know why I asked you out today, right?

No need to put in any nice words. I should be working hard.

I know.

You...

You don't have to listen to Coach Luo's exaggeration.

Xiangkong.

You are already on another team.

Can you...

Stop.

Just stay on Legends.

Don't even think about going anywhere else.

What are you thinking?

Did anyone say anything about going with you? OMG!

What I'm trying to say is that now you are on another team,

if we ever encounter each other in the contest,

try to avoid me.

I should be avoiding you?

I mean, you taught me all my moves.

If I ever fight against you, how bad would it look when I lose?

- Look at you, all chickened out. - No, Xiangkong.

I've thought it through about finding another club.

You don't have to persuade me.

Really? Tell me about it.

Look. My contract with Legends is still valid, right?

So, I have to compensate them if I'm going to leave.

How could I pay for such a huge amount of money?

You cheapskate.

Alright.

It seems that I don't have to say anything.

Just stay on the team.

- Waiter, check, please. - Thank you, Xiangkong.

He's playing.

Before I find out who set you up,

I won't leave.

Check, please.

If everyone in the world can understand you,

how ordinary you must be?

Childish!

Thank you.

Isn't this the famous Battlefield Schemer, Ji Xiangkong?

What brought you to VNG today?

I'm here to talk with Wen.

Wen.

You are a sweet talker.

Legends just kicked you out,

and you are lowering yourself to talk to our Coach Shu.

Do you want to beg her to take you in?

You are ridiculous.

You will know if I'm ridiculous or not after our talk. Please excuse me.

Stop there!

As the future captain of VNG, I can tell you this seriously:

We will never let a clumsy like you be our liability.

If you still have any self-esteem,

just leave now.

See you.

What was the time you agreed on?

Two o'clock. I checked that three times, alright?

That's enough waiting. Let's go.

Aren't you going to do the interview now?

His time might be precious, but so is ours.

We've been waiting for an hour already. Let's just wait a little longer.

Hello. How are you doing?

I'm sorry for getting late.

You must be reporters from Dynamite Esport Magazine, right?

Here. I'm the little princess in eSports. Ask away.

Do you have...

I'm a reporter from Dynamic Esport Magazine, Lu Yiyi.

Today, I will be interviewing you.

Just a second.

Are you Qiu Ying?

Do you know me?

You are quite famous.

You are the host who can't stay in UXStar. Who doesn't know you?

Mr. Qi Yue.

We arranged an interview of 2 hours long.

Now we only have 40 minutes left.

How about we get to the point, alright?

10 minutes will be more than enough.

I will tell you how I'm going to lead VNG to victory in the new season.

Just a second. Are you saying that you will be replacing Pei Xi

and becoming the new captain of VNG?

Of course.

Who else could be the new captain?

Let's begin.

Don't be nervous.

It's natural to be excited when you meet your hero.

You...

Alright.

Wen. I will not beat around the bushes. [VGN tactical analysis]

I'd like to join VNG.

Tell me what you think of VNG.

Pei Xi is the reason why you succeed and why you failed.

Continue.

I believe that you have realized that once Pei Xi left,

VNG took a huge blow since it has always took the strategy of four supporting one.

Is a team putting all the stakes on just one person

what you want?

Ji Xiangkong.

You are the first one who dared to say that to me.

That's why I'm not a favored character.

Wen. You've won the championship before.

You must know that I Conquer is a team contest instead of a personal show.

VNG has good players.

What you need are tactics.

They are all holding their steam inside.

Wen. Trust me.

I will bring you a whole new VNG.

I just have one question for you.

You know about our condition clearly.

Why would you want to join us?

Because Zeyi told me

that you still want to get the championship.

You are now the captain of VNG.

Thank you, Wen. I won't let you down.

Come on, tell me the details.

This is the tactic analysis I've done for VNG.

Shen Yue.

Why did Shu Wen talk with Ji Xiangkong for so long?

Is she really going to let Ji Xiangkong join our team?

I... I don't know.

But I think Coach must have her own ideas.

It's such a waste of time to ask you.

Lu Sheng, what do you think?

I don't know.

What are you doing here?

Are you waiting to be interviewed? Get back to training.

Qi Yue.

Hey, take care. Relax a little next time. Don't be so nervous.

That Qi Yue is so arrogant.

If you didn't stop me, I really want to...

Alright, calm down.

Ji Xiangkong? Who's with him?

Shu Wen.

What could they be talking about? They are having a great time.

Alright. Let's head out and talk.

- Something is up. - Let's go, let's go

Why is Ji Xiangkong here?

Is he...joining VNG?

Qiu Ying!My sixth sense as a reporter tells me something is definitely up.

Come on, let's go take a look.

Why are you so gossipy? You have no base at all.

If you just go inside, they might kick you out.

How dumb are you? You tell me what is he doing here?

VNG is quite nice.

It's one of the top four teams after all.

And last year, they were the second place in the league.

Right after Legends.

But you have also seen how Qi Yue was.

VNG is a good place, but it might not be the place for Ji Xiangkong.

What do you care if this is the place for Ji Xiangkong or not?

Tell me. Why do you care so much about him?

No. Don't be ridiculous.

Are you telling me or not?

- You... - A spaceship!

Space... Where?

Where is it? Qiu...

Qiu Ying, stop there! Explain yourself!

Master! Wen. Can we be sure about the captain position today?

Qi Yue, just give me some more time.

We need to go through the procedure. Just bear with us a little.

Master, back in Taiwan, joining a professional team was all I wanted to do.

You found me and asked me to build my career on the mainland.

Rest assured, even though Pei Xi has left,

I am confident that under my leadership, my brothers and I

will get VNG the championship of the next season.

Qi Yue, you should head back to the training room now.

The training match is about to begin.

Wen. Master. You need to have some faith in me.

I am the best choice.

I'll get back to training now.

I'm going to sign Ji Xiangkong.

I've guessed that will be your decision.

You can sign anyone, but I wouldn't choose Ji Xiangkong.

You are quite clear about the problem our team had.

Even with a team member with strong personal abilities like Pei Xi,

it won't take us far without tactics.

You've seen what Ji Xiangkong can do when it comes to tactics.

This is not about his ability. It's him as a person.

He has so much negative news.

It would be a tough decision. If you sign him, what would our sponsors think?

But in terms of our current situation,

a good captain is more important than the sponsor.

- Will you acknowledge that? - Yes.

But...Shu Wen.

If we have another sponsor dropping us,

then we would have problems in terms of VNG's operation.

Isn't nailing the sponsors what you are good at?

Li Gan.

When we first started VNG,

we agreed that we are going to build a team that can win the international championship.

Even if I have to put all I have into that,

I still won't back down.

Fine.

So, I'll go check out the training match.

Cheers. Come on.

Zeyi, I'm really surprised at how well it went with Wen.

She's a person with visions.

Besides, once she set her eyes on something, there's no stopping her.

You will have a great future in VNG.

Thank you, Zeyi. Here. I would like to toast you again.

Here.

Thank you for taking care of me this whole time.

And if you didn't encourage me,

I wouldn't have the nerve to go talk to Wen.

- Cheers. - Drink up.

My roommate lived with me for just a few days.

It would be so lonely to stay by myself.

Zeyi, have you been staying single for Wen?

You brat! What kind of nonsense is that?

Li Gan.

Mr. Li.

Zeyi. We haven't met for years now.

You are still the same.

You haven't changed at all. Sit.

Xiangkong. I came here on behalf of VNG today.

Let me get you some tableware. I'll let you two talk.

First, I'd like to apologize to you on behalf of the team.

We can't sign the contract with you. And this is just my idea.

I would like you to tell Shu Wen yourself that you can't sign the contract.

I mean, Mr. Li.

I don't understand. What are you saying?

It has been three years since VNG was founded.

Shu Wen went through a lot to achieve the record we have.

But now our survival is at stake.

Once Pei Xi left, three of our major sponsors went with him.

And the other two are hesitating.

After you talked with Shu Wen, they all heard of it and called me saying

if Shu Wen insists on signing you,

they will take away their money.

Xiangkong,p Shu Wen does appreciate you.

She's ready to sacrifice all she has so that you can stay.

You can't just watch her years of efforts go to waste, right?

If you agree that you should do the right thing for a friend and a senior peer,

you should tell her that you can't sign the contract.

Mr. Li, say no more. I understand.

I am causing you trouble here.

Thank you for your understanding.

I should go now.

Are you leaving?

Zeyi, let the beer wait. We'll drink when we meet again.

You are just in time. This is Ji Xiangkong's contract. Take a look.

Since you've made your decision, I respect you for that.

I plan to have a contract signing ceremony. I want to do it fast.

When the time comes, it would be great if you could contact several media institutes.

- I'd like to... - Wen.

I'm not the right person for VNG. I can't sign the contract.

- What's going on? - Sorry.

Ji Xiangkong changed his mind.

Sorry. The number you dialed is turned off this time.

He turned off his cell phone! What is this supposed to mean?

Shu Wen, don't get anxious just yet.

Ji Xiangkong might have learned that we can't compare

with Legends in terms of resources and finance.

He's a clever guy. We should understand his decision if he's not joining us, right?

That's impossible. He's not that kind of person.

No! I have to go talk to him.

I will try everything I could to persuade him.

Shu Wen.

Don't go. He won't join us.

How do you know?

Did you talk with him?

Shu Wen!

Are you here for Xiangkong?

Where is he?

He's upstairs.

I'll show you the way.

Wen.

I have the contract ready.

Are you signing it or not?

Wen. If I would make VNG's situation worse,

I... Maybe I shouldn't sign it.

How bad would it be if all the sponsors pulled out?

For me, if we can't get the international championship,

VNG doesn't mean a thing no matter how many sponsors we have.

- Wen. I can relate to that, but... - No, you can't.

It has been five years since Pioneer won the championship.

For old players like us,

we've been waiting for this championship for too long.

- But Wen... - Xiangkong, don't worry.

Even if all the sponsors leave us,

I will figure out a way to let VNG get through the next season.

Ji Xiangkong, I need you.

You promised me

that you will bring me a whole new VNG.

Wen. I'm not satisfied with the yearly salary.

Name your price.

I would be happier like this.

1 yuan?

Starting today, I will share VNG's fame and difficulty.

Avoid!

Nice!

Nice. That's good.

Qiu Ying, you did pretty well there. Smooth.

I'm surprised that Monkey has lost.

You are more than you let on.

Skinny Monkey, sorry about that.

You are bluffed by a simple trick like that.

I dare you to have one game with me. Just the two of us.

Sure. Let's have it.

Since you are going to fight for the local championship,

why don't we have an open match?

Yeah! An open match is a good idea.

After all, you are going to challenge the local champion.

- This is so exciting. - That's right!

What? Are you afraid?

Why would I be afraid?

I'm not afraid of losing. I wouldn't be embarrassed by that.

That's right.

I will bet on Qiu Ying.

No. I think the girl will win.

That would be impossible.

How about this? I'll take you up on that.

If the girl loses, I'll buy you one month of Zi Hai Hotpot.

I will pick whatever flavor I want.

Any flavor. It's a deal.

Qiu Ying, you have to work hard.

I'm counting on you to win a month of food.

Don't worry.

Summer.

How come Menglvren is so quiet today?

I don't know. Let's take a look.

They are playing an open match. That's ballsy.

First blood!

What's happening here?

The local champion is challenging Qiu Ying. They are playing right now.

Your little girlfriend is not bad.

She's challenging the local champion.

No. We are just friends.

Just friend. Right. We all understand.

You were tutoring her in person just because you are just friends.

She wants to be a commentator and she wants to learn at your place.

She's a nice girl.

She could get by with her look, but she had to work hard.

If anything like this comes up again, just tell me.

No need to go through all the trouble.

I just don't want to break the rules in Menglvren.

No need to be nervous. Even if she fails,

I will still give her a chance.

Don't worry. She will win.

You are lit. Go back to base and stop wandering.

Just attack the nexus.

Qiu Ying, don't go back to the base. Attack the nexus.

What are you waiting for? Attack the nexus!

Xiangkong. I'm the local champion now.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Pei Xi. Now I've earned the right to work here, right?

Did you get the local championship just to be a waiter here?

Yeah! And not just that.

So, what do you want?

I want to be a commentator.

If I can work at Menglvren,

I would have all the masters to teach me professional information.

And when I was climbing up the local rankings,

I had a deeper understanding of I Conquer.

It's not easy to be a commentator.

We have to start from scratch.

I'm taking my steps.

That's right. Her heart is in the right place.

Why are you trying to overshadow her?

Oh, right. Let me introduce you.

The owner of Menglvren, Summer.

I know. You are one of the Five Original Masters.

The best support from Pioneer.

Your ID was Summer, that's why people call you by that name after you retired.

You are flattering me.

- You did your homework. - Of course.

Hello, Boss.

You are calling him boss already?

He hasn't agreed to accept you yet.

I didn't say I don't accept her.

That's right.

Congratulations on joining Menglvren.

Thank you, Boss.

Can I go get my entry processed now?

Sure. Just follow me.

You guys can keep talking here. Let's go.

Do you like her a lot?

What?

Do you like Qiu Ying a lot?

What does it have to do with you?

You'd better stay away from her.

Do you like her?

I heard that you joined VNG.

What a coincidence.

After such a long way,

my former employer became your new employer,

and I, on the other hand, am working for your former employer.

It seems that we are destined to be opponents.

That's not bad.

I'm not as merciful as you are.

Xiangkong. I have finally become an official employee at Menglvren now.

Not bad. Since you got a job now, you have to take me out.

Of course.

How about the strawberry cake from Menglvren?

What do you think?

Wait. What are we having?

Two strawberry cakes.

Two?

Come on. How could you be more of a cheapskate than Lin Yixuan?

Never mind. I've found a job, too.

I'll pay this time.

Thank you.

This is unexpected.

You've become the local champion in such a short time.

The contest of Tomorrow's Stars is coming up.

I need to work hard.

Summer often invites a lot of important people in this industry

including Sky to do commentary or review.

If I can stay at Menglvren,

I would be able to be there fair and square.

Oh, right. What is your new job?

I signed a contract with VNG.

Really?

VNG. That's one of the top four teams.

We need to drink to that and celebrate.

- Waiter! - Are you sure?

Did you forget the last time... Your tolerance for liquor, you...

Waiter, two beers.

Cheers.

- Gen. Ji, this is your hot towel. - Thank you.

Why did you ask for a hot towel?

Isn't your hand hurting?

Here.

The way you train could compare with our training.

Never train over three hours again.

You need to take care of yourself.

On the other hand.

How are you feeling now? Better?

Much better.

I have some ointment. I'll bring it to you next time.

Thank you.

Don't sweat it. We are bros.

After I got to VNG,

I made a promise that I will get the championship.

It's the same for you.

When Tomorrow's Stars starts, losing is not an option for you. You have to win.

Don't forget about our agreement.

We will be at the finals of I Conquer together.

Break a leg.

It's already 9 o'clock and she's still not here.

Yiyi, I'm back.

Where are you?

Why are you sitting here?

- Come. - You are the one to talk!

What's going on here?

You made a full table of food.

That's impressive.

I started preparing the food at 3 pm to celebrate you winning the local championship.

Look at the time.

You just got back.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Do I have to tell you earlier?

When have we ever not celebrated together when something so huge happened?

Alright! Don't be mad.

- Don't touch me! - I'm sorry, alright?

My angel!

Did you go out with Ji Xiangkong again?

It was a special circumstance.

I just joined Menglvren, and he just joined VNG.

Two happy events happened together. That's why we celebrated a little.

You forgot all about your friend after you have a boyfriend.

I'm done talking to you.

Yiyi!

Yiyi!

If you don't want to talk to me, then let's stay quiet for 10 minutes.

Come down after 10 minutes, alright?

Listen up! I'm serious this time.

Alright. I know you are serious. 15 minutes.

I'll go warm up the dishes. You haven't eaten anything yet, right?

I'll have another dinner with you.

That's settled.

Warming up the dishes!

- Are we done not talking? - Not yet.

Come here.

What?

Check it yourself.

[Ji Xiangkong is joining VNG]

Do you remember that time we were at VNG and saw the two of them seemed to be close?

I thought something was up and tried to get back to take a look,

but you had to stop me from doing that.

If they are really together,

they would be able to help each other at work.

That's great.

Stop pretending here.

Where are you putting yourself?

Don't tell me that you still think he's just a friend.

Timing and subtitles brought to you by 💔 Romanticize You Team ❤ @Viki.com

What are you looking at me for?

Are you also curious

what's his relationship with Shu Wen?

Whatever the answer is, it has nothing to do with you.

Why are you tossing around and having trouble sleeping?

I just want to know.

If he's in love,

I would feel bad.

So what if you know?

Ji Xiangkong will still treat you like a bro.

You are in the penalty corner.

Good night, dear.

Qi Yue, don't be mad. Don't be mad.

Tong Wu.

I'm sorry, Qi Yue.

I'm sorry.

- Are you dumb or what? - I'm sorry.

Is it possible for you to be more stupid?

- I'm sorry, Qi Yue. - What the heck?

Qi Yue...

Tell me.

Could there be something between Wen and Ji Xiangkong?

She's offending two sponsors for Ji Xiangkong.

What are you talking about?

Are you going to go along with the outsiders and their nonsense?

Would my master be cheated?

Listen, as long as I'm here,

I will never let Ji Xiangkong have a nice day.

From now on, we must be on the same side.

I'll see how much he can do.

Lu Sheng, I'm talking! Are you with me?

I heard you.

As long as the four of us refuse to work with him,

I'll see how he's going to be the captain.

Definitely. We will do whatever you say.

Tong Wu?

All up to you.

Whatever. Whatever you want. I'll just go along.
