GTRSH Chapter 14

Yu Xinche had no idea what the barrage was saying, while He Ci didn’t take it seriously.

He just suddenly felt that the game was a bit boring, so he put up a show.

After the game, the two said goodbye. Yu Xinche quit the game, washed up quickly, and went to sleep.

It’s the weekend and his roommate Lu Guo was still living at home, so Yu Xinche was the only one in the dormitory.

According to his usual schedule, he would have played one or two more games, but today he had a headache and didn’t feel like playing.

After coming back from the rain in the afternoon, Yu Xinche went to take a shower, but halfway through his shower, there was a power outage, so he had to take a quick cold shower.

Maybe he caught a cold.

Before falling asleep, he vaguely felt that he had missed something. Just now when He Ci was answering questions, a thought flashed through his mind, but it was quickly interrupted by the developments in the game.

At that time, he thought he would talk about it after the game, but now he can’t remember it no matter how hard he tries.

He tried to recall their conversation.

Either official selection or tryouts at clubs; tryouts were decided by a bunch of people together; He Ci said that adaptability was more important, and teamfighting, laning, and…

His head was becoming increasingly heavy, and the effect was comparable to reviewing chemistry points before going to bed.

Yu Xinche fell asleep quickly.

He woke up thirsty the next day.

When he woke up, he found that his nose was blocked and his throat was a little sore.

It was a mistake. I should have taken cold medicine last night.

Yu Xinche felt exhausted and stayed in bed for ten minutes before getting up. After slowly packing up, he glanced at his phone and was shocked when he saw –

There were 99+ messages in the small gaming group chat.

The group consists of several familiar classmates who play HIT. They were basically only active for a few minutes at around 7 or 8 o’clock every night. They went radio silent when everyone had formed a team to start playing together.

This was the first time that so many messages have appeared, and there were many that were tagged to him.

Yu Xinche clicked on the first one and started reading.

Qi Han sent a video link and tagged all members:

– Qi Han: No way, the support He Ci met that day was Xin Che???

– Qi Han: @All members, come and eat melons quickly

– Qi Han: @Yu Xinche, my buddy is invincible. He can already reject my idol.

Yu Xinche was stunned. It turned out that the truth could not be concealed.

Even if they were not in the e-sports circle, they will always learn about it from other channels.

Clicking on the link, the video showed two live broadcast clips of He Ci and himself. From the first time when he said he didn’t know He Ci, to the interaction between the two of them talking and laughing last night, the comment section and barrage were full of question marks, suspecting that he was TZ’s new support.

Yu Xinche closed the video helplessly and was amazed at the marketing account’s ability to edit videos and set the tone.

He continued to look at the group chat records, and except for himself, everyone else was shocked.

– What’s going on? Why are you calling everyone here so early in the morning?

– Shit, this is a big deal

– I’ve said it before, our PURE is not an ordinary player at first glance!

-@Yu Xinche, if you become rich and powerful, please don’t forget me. From now on, you will be my connection in HPL.

– Damn, no wonder He Ci played games with us and had dinner with us that day

– I was wondering why FIX was willing to eat with us.

– Now it seems he has other intentions!

-@Yu Xinche, what’s the deal, did you guys get in touch that day? When was it? How come I didn’t notice it?

– ?????? He Ci played games with you guys and had dinner together, when????

– Why didn’t you call dad? Dad was still calling for a team in the group that afternoon!!

– There was enough people, exactly five, there was no place for you, hehe

– And it was He Ci who paid for the meal. He Ci even gave me blue buff when I was playing games. Hehe

– ??

– I don’t want to live anymore, if I had known I would have stayed overnight during the summer vacation

– I have finished watching the video. Why is there still footage of me?

– So the whole livestream saw me playing like an autistic jungler?

– This comment hahahahahaha

– “The new support king, He Ci gave me blue after the car crash and invited me to play professionally”

– I just left a comment

– “18-year-old national server genius, after a ranking collision, the world champion invited me to play professionally”

Yu Xinche read the chat and found that they were basically just bragging and talking nonsense, with some people tagging him to ask about the latest developments.

There were seven people in the group, all of whom were classmates. They often played together and had a good relationship. They were all nice people.

Yu Xinche thought about it and realized that even if he didn’t tell them now, he wouldn’t be able to hide it when he tried out and became a professional player. Instead of letting them know passively from others, it would be better for him to confess it himself.

And judging from He Ci’s attitude in the livestream, he probably didn’t intend to hide anything, so he just told them.

– Yu Xinche: Cat is sluggish.jpg

– Yu Xinche: When he and I went downstairs to pay the bill, we chatted for a while and then added each other as game friends.

– Yu Xinche: There is no progress yet, he asked me to think about it

– Yu Xinche: So I’m still considering it.

– 18-year-old national service genius is here

– Hahahaha, kid, you started bootlicking now

– Did he ask you to go for a tryout? Go! Why are you hesitating?

– Go! If you pass the tryout, you will get a salary of several million per year.

– The whole school will come to watch your game.

– Yes, it doesn’t matter if the tryout is unsuccessful, just continue with school, school starts in a month, it won’t delay anything

– Yeah, and you’ve only been in the school for half a year. Many people in the school don’t know who PURE is. Even if you fail the tryout, people won’t know it’s you, so it’s not a big deal.

– Qi Han: I see. You’re worried that you might not want to play after being selected, right?

Yu Xinche: “…”

He was right.

It was difficult for Yu Xinche to explain clearly what he was thinking right now.

It’s like an ordinary middle school student, and suddenly one day someone tells him, “You are very talented, join us and save the world together.”

It was certainly fun to be able to go to heaven and earth to beat up bosses, but once you choose the thrills of the unknown world, you could never go back to a peaceful but safe life.

He certainly hoped that his abilities could be recognized, but at the same time he was also afraid of the opportunity he would get after a successful tryout.

He didn’t know what decision he would make, nor was he sure he would not regret it in the future after making the decision.

Sometimes Yu Xinche would feel disgusted with himself for being too timid and worrying too much, but there was nothing he could do because his parents stopped caring about him when he was in high school.

He had been independent for so long that he had become accustomed to thinking about things in the long term.

The chat interface was still flashing, and while Yu Xinxhe was still dazed, the chat had already gone past the previous message.

Yu Xinche gave a few ambiguous responses and ended the topic.

There were still a few days left before the Friday agreed with He Ci, so Yu Xinche was not in a hurry to make a decision.

There was only one elective class today, and after class he went back to the dormitory and took a nap.

After all, if you have a cold, you should drink more water and rest more.

When he woke up, it was already dark. He took out his phone and played with it for a while, and found that HIT officials had posted several updates.

【The 5th anniversary celebration of the Heart of Elements has officially begun. It has been a long five years, and I am grateful for your support! Forward this message and 20 people will be selected to win…】

【Continuously breakthrough, to find the most authentic self. Aurora personal PV is officially online. As for “why”, everyone has their own answer. 】

Every year, the hero of the anniversary celebration would launch a theme song, a personal animation PV, and an interactive short film between the hero and the game studio. In addition, the official will select 1-2 professional players from around the world to co-star.

Yu Xinche had been playing this game for less than a year, and this was his first anniversary celebration in the game.

Not knowing which contestant was selected this year, Yu Xinche curiously opened the videos one by one. The first one was Aurora’s personal story –

As a lively god, he had been living in the vast polar region since he could remember. It was surrounded by a deserted area. He patroled alone every day and often felt lonely.

Youths always have wild thoughts, and he was no exception.

Why am I responsible for protecting this area?

Why can’t I leave?

Why are other God Clan members so prosperous, but I am alone, only able to wander back and forth on the snowfield?

He felt bound. He didn’t know where his own value was and how to find the answer.

He came into contact with skiing by chance. When he jumped and flew between the snow-capped mountains, the biting whistling wind in his ears and the rapidly passing scenery around him made him feel free and also gave him a brief respite from his obsessive questioning.

Suddenly one day, he encountered a group of foreigners who came unexpectedly. In order to help them find the direction, he went to the highest mountain top and plucked up the courage to slide down from the snow-capped mountains.

As he took off into the air, a string of bright and dazzling light flashed behind him, like a dream, emitting an incomparably beautiful glow under the night sky, pointing the way for the tribes on land.

From then on, he had a name and his own life’s meaning.

He emitted a light that was unique to him, different from all others, the most brilliant and beautiful aurora.

Then, the scene stopped abruptly, and Aurora recited his classic lines in English.

This is how I shine my Light.

Aurora, that’s my answer.

Yu Xinche felt an indescribable sense of familiarity when watching this video.

It was not until he saw the next official video that he suddenly realized.

The main concept of this video was that Aurora comes to the three-dimensional world and designed the hero [Aurora] together with the game planners of HIT.

The specially invited professional player guest in the video finally made his appearance.

It turned out to be He Ci.

Aurora maintains the persona of a Western hero and still speaks English.

He Ci spoke in Chinese. As soon as he spoke, Yu Xinche knew where the familiar feeling just now came from——

Aurora’s voiceover was He Ci.

Before he had time to savor the English words of He Ci, an even more stunning scene already appeared before his eyes.

The team went to Aurora’s polar regions to capture the beautiful scenery of the snowfields and the aurora, and then went to the snow-capped mountains that Aurora liked to ski.

In the video, Aurora was wearing a ski suit that emits colorful white light, while He Ci was wearing a blue and white ski suit and walking with him.

The two people fell from a height on snowboards, moving forward on the snow, bringing up snow mist and also causing a string of dazzling lights.

The skills of the photographer and artist were very advanced, combining the secondary and tertiary worlds perfectly.

It not only depicts the dreaminess and lightness of the Aurora as a god flying across the snowfield, but also showed the unique sense of power and excitement that He Ci, as a human being, experienced when engaging in extreme sports.

When they reached the finish line, He Ci took off his helmet, revealing the same hair color as Aurora. The two smiled at each other and stretched out their arms for a friendly fist bump.

Then the picture was divided into two, and Aurora winked at the camera, looking sunny, playful and full of energy.

He Ci saluted with two fingers put together, and his deep eyebrows and eyes were captured in close-up by the camera, as if he was flirting with the audience.

So damn handsome.
