    Just contribute his ying skills?


    Liu Zng was speechless after hearing Gao Yunyang’s words.


    ‘This b*stard is a recruitment genius. Se7en has justnded themselves a windfall...’


    He did not give a direct reply even though he was slightly swayed by the suggestion.


    Gao Yunyang immediately added, “The problem is, even with three of us back in the team, we’ll still be missing one yer in the core team.”


    Liu Zng became silent after hearing what Gao Yunyang had to say. He knew whom he was referring to.


    No one else could fill that spot better than Li Muqiu.


    The problem was that Li Muqiu already belonged to Se7en. How could they steal him from the same team?


    “Usually... yers with substandard performance get relegated to the sub-team, right?” Liu Zng ventured.


    “Substandard performance?” Gao Yunyang was silent for a long while before he gave his reply. “I know that he’s a worse yer than I am, but he’s not a total newbie, right?”


    Liu Zng thought for a moment and then replied seriously, “He can be.”


    Gao Yunyang: ...


    For a split second, he felt sorry for Li Muqiu.


    He was once the up anding star of PUBG, the ‘Little King of AK’.


    However, after Liu Zng joined the game, he lost his ‘Asia’s Number One Killing God’ title. Not to mention, his gaming skills had now been put to question.


    What an unfortunate life...


    ...


    The next day.


    The first thing Liu Zng had done after waking up was to give himself a pep talk. He had been away from college for more than a week, and he needed to at least show up after his return.


    With the semester ending, Liu Zng could not afford tog on his studies. Otherwise, there was a chance Liu Yigang would pummel his head t.


    Liu Zng’s ssmates were very excited to see this ‘missing person’ show up.


    The poprity ofpetitive esports was on the rise, and college students were one of the main audiences ofpetitive esports. The ‘world champion’ title carried some weight among the student body.


    Before ss started, many ssmates huddled around Liu Zng asking for selfies and autographs. Liu Zng felt like a movie star.


    He was not a stranger to situations like these.


    As he made waves in the local cyber cafes, he had fans who behaved worse than his ssmates.


    His response was extremely diplomatic at that time.


    He chatted diplomatically with his ssmates. That way, he was able to fulfill their wishes and give them a good ‘celebrity’ experience. In any case, a college student ought to be a gentleman...


    Ring ring ring!


    Right before the ss started, Chen Zhifei, Pu Taizhuang and Mao Rantong who were sitting in the middle of the ssroom saw that Liu Zng had finally shaken his fanbase off.


    Chen Zhifei smiled and bowed at Liu Zng like a gangsterckey from ancient China. “Oh! The big star is back! Please sit down!”


    “Big star! Big star!”


    Ran Maotong also scooted closer to him and smiled. “Come sit next to me. I reserved this spot for you. What’s up with you, though? You didn’t have to attend the ss personally.”


    “That’s right,” Chen Zhifei continued, “We could’ve taken the ss for you.”


    Liu Zng recognized a familiar yet intimate feeling gushing up his heart when he saw the despicable looks on his friends’ faces.


    “Take the ss for me?” Liu Zng smirked. “What if I wanted to go to the toilet?”


    The two of them were speechless!


    Indeed, no one was as despicable as this person...


    “Well, we can at least hold your d*ck for you?” Ran Maotong attempted.


    Liu Zng: ...


    He was speechless as he looked at Ran Maotong.


    He had not seen him for only a little more than a week.


    ‘When did he learn to deliver retorts like that? Does he have a private tutor?’


    ...


    In the next few days, Liu Zng resumed his routine of studying, going home, and streaming.


    As for practice at the club, his schedule became just like before because of hismitment to his sses.


    The team used to not have a problem with that. However, after their trip to the California International Invitationals, they had be aware of the difference between them and the top-tier American and European teams. It was because of theirck of training in specialized skills and tactics.


    Fortunately, Long Shenjue had inducted a substitute sniper for the team who had apparently introduced by Sy, the ‘Esports Matchmaker’. He was young and full of potential; his ID was GuCun.


    Liu Zng had shadowed several practice sessions and thought that he was a good fit for the team.


    GuCun’s ystyle was drastically different whenpared to Liu Zng’s.


    Liu Zng was a sniper with a proactive ystyle, while GuCun was a team yer.


    If you asked him to hold his position, he would hold his position until death.


    From a certain viewpoint, this substitute GuCun fit the team structure and training routine even better than Liu Zng did.


    Eventually...


    4AM’s team coach and other yers also noticed this. However, they did not say anything.


    In any case, Liu Zng was the one who had brought the squad and solo titles to the team in the international tournament. No one would say anything even if he decided to retire and ‘draw a pension’ from the club.


    However, Liu Zng was not the type of yer who would sit back and rest on hisurels.


    After seeing that GuCun was a better fit for the team, and with Gao Yunyang persuading the Se7en management for a sub-team, he felt that it was time he took the initiative to withdraw from the club.


    In any case, Liu Zng had an amicable rtionship with Long Shenjue and GodV. After all, they had pinned him down on the couch multiple times.


    The transfer process went without a hitch unlike the majority of transfers that happened between esports clubs or even streaming tforms. Those were usually fraught with both parties airing dirtyundry.


    To prevent any unnecessary misunderstandings from the team’s fans, Liu Zng and 4AM released a statement on Weibo at the same time after the signing of the agreement.


    Liu Zng’s followers on Weibo had almost reached a million. His following was not as big as some celebrities out there. However, he was active inmunicating with his followers. Not to mention, adding on to the fact that he had not many inactive or bot ounts following him, the number ofments and shares on each of his posts usually went into the tens of thousands.


    The news of Liu Zng parting ways with 4AM was posted on Weibo and it tore through thepetitive esports circle like a passing typhoon.


    Many fans, followers, and even esports media outlets shared the post as they waited for the fallout. They thought that Liu Zng was nning to take revenge on the team.


    They had not expected 4AM’s post to rify that Liu Zng’s contract had ended, and they wished him a bright future in another team. It was the perfect ‘happy ending’ for both parties.


    Those people who had prepared little stools and popcorn were outraged by this!


    “I even took my pants off! And that’s all you’re going to show me?”


    “Conspiracy! There must be some sort of conspiracy.”


    For a while, many people with ulterior motives lurked in the 4AM live-stream channel.


    They were hoping to gather scraps of information about Liu Zng’s departure from the team voice chat.


    The problem was that there was no ‘behind-the-scenes news’ between Liu Zng and 4AM. Everything had already been announced on their Weibo ounts.


    Furthermore, when both of them streamed at the same time, they talked and joked among themselves. It was as if Liu Zng had never left the team at all.


    After a few days, those people left the channels dejectedly...


    ‘Dammit!


    ‘Can’t you just have something for me to eat my popcorn with?’
