The National Sweetheart Livestreamer Is A Pro!-Chapter 183

“Want to play Gomoku?”

The topic of the conversation took on a rather quick turn, Ji Zhiyao stared confusedly at Mo Huaifeng and saw him pulling his laptop out of his bag. “It’s an offline game that I just downloaded yesterday, it’s not bad.”

Hence the two of them began a game of Gomoku under the complicated stares of their other teammates.

Half an hour later, the plane landed.

Their training in Korea was divided into two phases. For the first month, Mix was here under the label of an exchange program. The club had contacted Korea’s Vita Battleteam, which was the battleteam that Kang Kyung Chwa had once led, for a month of exchange and learning. The remaining two months would then be for Mix to play in the Korean servers and arrange training tournaments by themselves.

It was said to be a learning exchange but it was in actuality just renting a huge apartment then having the members of both teams live together and hold daily trainings together according to different demands.

Vita battleteam specially arranged for someone to come pick them up and had told Yuan Wei the car plate number beforehand. The vehicle was already waiting outside the airport half an hour in advance.

They found the vehicle according to the car plate number. As Mo Huaifeng was multi-lingual and to save costs, the club did not hire a translator.

Hence Mo Huaifeng took a few steps forward, frowning as he walked side by side with Yuan Wei to the car window. After a question, Mo Huaifeng turned back, his instruction succinct. “Get on.”

Yuan Wei pulled open the car door and boarded first.

The vehicle wasn’t considered very big, it’s backseats could barely fit nine people, everyone squeezed together like sardines in a tin, shoulder to shoulder and butt to butt. Through a gap, Ji Zhiyao look towards Mo Huaifeng who was sitting comfortably in the front seat through the corner of his eye, and suddenly felt jealous, envious and hatred.

He wanted to sit in the passenger seat too.

All the way, the driver barely spoke, probably because he knew that there was a language barrier, with one person who could understand Korean, so he did not speak much and only answered the necessary questions with a nod or shake of his head.

They drove for about half an hour before coming to a stop, Ji Zhiyao looked outside, not far out an apartment-like villa.

Mo Huaifeng said, “We’re here, get out.”

Everyone alighted in succession. When everyone had gotten off, Mo Huaifeng informed with a slight squint, “For the coming one month, we will be staying here. Vita battleteam has already arrived, we’ll go in too.”

Yuan Wei walked over and rang the doorbell. Someone picked up the communicator very quickly and a blurry video image appeared. A boy dressed in a cream-colored sweater first exclaimed out loud, then waved at them, turned back excitedly and disappeared from the screen.

A few seconds after, the front door was opened. The cream-colored sweater that they saw in the video earlier appeared and bowed to them.

Ji Zhiyao got a clear look of the boy’s face and recalled his name.

Vita battleteam, mid-laner Hyun Woo.

If Fi-god Mo Huaifeng’s looks made him the eSports idol of China, the Xuanzang meat that everyone coveted, then the valuation of Hyun Woo in Korea’s eSports scene could be said to be about the same as Mo Huaifeng’s.

Hyun Woo was really extremely good-looking.

Ji Zhiyao originally thought that this was a rumor, yet with one look today, he realized that knowing a man by his reputation is not as good as meeting him in person, Hyun Woo was very deserving of his status.

After the greeting, Hyun Woo probably realized that they could not understand Korean and switched directly to speaking English. Ji Zhiyao felt much more comfortable, though his English wasn’t considered superbly good, but it was much better than not understanding anything at all.

[The conversations in the future shall be automatically translated into Chinese.]

Hyun Woo said, “The club added half an hour to your arrival time, we thought you guys would arrive in a while, so we weren’t mentally prepared at all. If there has been any negligence, we ask for your kind understanding.”

Mo Huaifeng nodded. “Thank you.”

Hyun Woo then smiled to the others at the back, and then did an inviting gesture.

Everyone walked into the little villa together.

The first level of the villa was very much the same as that in Mix’s base, it was made up of the main portions of a living room, kitchen and training room. With the exception of some differences in decor and structure, everything else was very similar. It was evident that much thought had gone into this arrangement.

Ji Zhiyao then looked towards the direction of the stairs, though he could not see the next level clearly, but he knew that the second level was probably bedrooms and same for the third. It was probably one level for Vita members and the other for Mix.

Six people sat in the living room, seeing them walk in, they all stood up to bow. The two who appeared slightly older were both wearing tracksuits, especially similar to how Kang Kyung Chwa used to dress.

Ji Zhiyao guessed that they were probably Vita battleteam’s coach and stats analyzer.

Mo Huaifeng conversed with those two people, then made known their identities to everyone in Mix. Ji Zhiyao was right, they were Vita battleteam’s coach Park Jun Ji and stats analyzer Lee Sung Dae.

Mix battleteam’s stats analyzer and coach shook hands and bowed to them respectively, then everyone sat down. A total of three large sofas in the living room was just enough to accommodate everyone.

The few members from Vita battleteam who were better in English were only Hyun Woo, top-laner Lucia and support Qee. Hyun Woo even knew a little Chinese. Jungler Wu and ADC Sung Min only spoke Korean. Despite so, it still relieved quite a big burden from Mo Huaifeng who was translating concurrently.

Both teams made their introductions. When everyone was done, Park Jun Ji looked towards Ji Zhiyao and suddenly asked, “You are Mix battleteam’s jungler reserve?”

Ji Zhiyao confusedly watched as he chattered on, yet he could not understand anything at all and could not help but turn towards Mo Huaifeng with look of seeking help. Before Mo Huaifeng spoke, Hyun Woo smiled and said, “Coach asked if you are Mix battleteam’s jungler reserve?”

Mo Huaifeng narrowed his eyes.

Hyun Woo had used English, Ji Zhiyao understood him and nodded slightly.

Park Jun Ji continued to speak for a bit, after listening to him, Hyun Woo said to Ji Zhiyao, “Because Kang Kyung Chwa sunbae is coach’s senior, before Mix battleteam came for the exchange, he had mentioned your name to coach. As such, coach watched several videos of your gameplay and he thinks that you are very outstanding.”

Ji Zhiyao could more or less understand what Hyun Woo said and smiled to express his thanks. “Thank you for the compliment.”

Park Jun Ji nodded slightly and did not continue to spend time on such small talk, instead returned to interacting with Mo Huaifeng, the stats analyzer and their coach.

Beside him, Xiao secretly asked Ji Zhiyao, “What did the Korean coach say to you?”

Ji Zhiyao boasted without shame, “He said my talent can’t be found even amongst 100 professional players, sooner or later I will surpass Captain and rank as top jungler internationally!”

“Bullsh*t, please sober up quickly! It’s so impossible to praise someone this way on the very first meeting!”

Ji Zhiyao replied very seriously, “It’s true, I’m not lying, I’m a dog if I lied.”

The look in Xiao’s eyes instantly became that of half belief and half doubt, he glanced complicatedly at Ji Zhiyao, then at Park Jun Ji.

Ji Zhiyao was calm and poised, allowing him to examine as he liked.
