Playing Fish Trapped in Secret Room

Book 3: Glory on the Other Side

Chapter 35

After Ai Qing woke up, she packed up her luggage, pulled her
sister up from the bed, and told her that she was leaving.  If her
sister wanted to continue to sleep, then she could stay. “Make
sure to lock the door.”

“Where are you going?”  Her sister was so sleepy that she fell
back into the bed.

“SP headquarters.”

She really wanted to be with the team during this time, temporarily
tabling all the complicated issues.

When Ai Qing appeared at the SP headquarter dorm, with her
luggage, to swipe open the door to her room, people in the hallway
were quite surprised to see her there.  This room was always Ai
Qing’s. They had a cleaning lady come in regularly like a hotel,
so she could always move in at any time. She spent half an hour
sorting out her room, then she picked up her room cardkey and
went directly to the training room.

SP has four training rooms.

Each training room had a sign with the name of each team.

Ai Qing pushed open the glass door that read Storm>.  There were more than twenty men inside, who were
all startled to see her.

Today was still an off day.  These single guys were so bored as
none of them had a girlfriend and all their friends were from the
same club.  Since they had no place to go, they all came to the
training room to pass the time.

But the manager didn’t living at the headquarters, what was she
doing here today?

“Why are you guys staring at me……”  Ai Qing was a little
embarrassed. “I’ll be living at the club until the National Finals ends.”

They were even more startled.

It was Slide who came to her rescue.  He waved to her. “Come
over here, Gou Gou.  We were just about to play a game. You
came just at the right time.”

Interested, she walked over to hear Slide’s explanation.  Briefly
speaking, A team was too bored plus the Guangzhou competition
had ignited their competitive spirit, they wanted to play with RAP
in a private game.

Of course, they weren’t the ones looking for trouble.

Afterall it was RAP, after beating Buff at the Guangzhou show match,
verbally blasted their arch enemy SP during their post-game interview, again.

“Another reason is------Dt is so popular right now.  His accumulated
score is the highest in all four servers.”  All continued to talk after Ai
Qing sat down. “After he won at the Guangzhou competition, he grew
even more popular.  K&K’s popularity is overshadowing SP. If we don’t
play a good game now, even the other SP’s regions will forget we even exist.”

Inin’s eyes had brightened up.  He wasn’t paying attention to what Slide
and All were talking about.  He just excited to hear the name “Dt”, more
excited than if he had been praised.  “Dt must be the first Secret Room maestro.”

All pressed down Inin’s head in annoyance.  “Ya little brat. If you continue
your personal worship, I’ll beat you up.”

A maestro?

A maestro leads a whole era.  An honorary title given to the person who
made outstanding contributions to the promotion of videos games and
the esports world.

Ai Qing became lost in her thoughts.

Dt had left before her sister arrived at her home.

So what should she do next.  Should she find a time to talk with him?

But after last night, she couldn’t face him normally at all.  He wanted to
bed her in less than ten days after getting together.  She even began to
doubt whether the Wu Bai she had liked was actually the real him.

Perhaps the kind of relationship she was looking for was a totally different
one from what he was pursuing.

“Gou Gou?”  Slide slanted his head and asked her,  “Should we play a
game with them?”

Ai Qing pulled back her distracted heart and looked at her own teammates,  
“All right. As long as you aren’t afraid of leaking our tactics.”

Slide laughed.  “The really good ones won’t get cracked in such a short time.”

Once they made the decision, there was nothing more to say about the matter.

They sent out the invitation.  Once the opponent accepted, then they could
start the game and begin.

They waited for about three minutes.  A chat window popped out on the
computer: The opponent had accepted.  Please wait for a connection.

“Is the ping[1] ok?”

“Ok, no problem.”  Following signaled the OK gesture and pulled out a
chicken drumstick from the box, taking a bite out of it.  “Too cool. Brothers,
beat up these insidious people into a pulp.”

Four big men who cursed occasionally and a young boy who cried easily
were all ranked in the top ten on the server.  They had all won the
championships in Asia or world tournaments in different games before.

This was…... her team.
