After the game, LEMON received several friend requests from the teammates who were just carried. They were apologizing and flattering, but he didn't even look and immediately exited the game.
The barrage was filled with "LEMON, the boss, 87V5" "How dare you mess with the Demon King's game, I will teach you a lesson in seconds," LEMON took a mid-game break, and stood up from the chair, relieving the soreness in his neck and shoulders.
This was a young girl who wore a white camisole, with a slender waist and a pair of long, straight legs wrapped in jeans. She raised her hand to take off her baseball cap, with chestnut-colored long hair falling down, accentuating her small and fair face and her slightly uplifted phoenix eyes.
Lin Momi Haoren moved her sore shoulders, and put her hair back into her cap before walking out of the box.
The Internet cafe was bustling with noise, and there was an LED screen by the door, playing videos related to the just-ended international league.
"10 highlights of the final of the Eternal team."
"Tang Xiaotu interviewed the Border Instructor Silence: relying on strength rather than appearance."
A huge poster filled the entire screen. If it wasn't for the red and white team uniforms, it could easily be mistaken for a celebrity photoshoot. The man had a slender waist and long legs, deep double eyelids and a straight nose. However, his thin lips gave off a cold, merciless vibe, which matched the words below:
"Words of Silence during the war: I didn't want them dead, I just found them noisy."
Just then, several girls entered the Internet cafe and saw the poster on the screen, hugging each other and screaming, "Silence is so handsome!"
Lin Momi Haoren stepped back, with the girls, took another look at Yu Mo.
"Why is Silence called the Border Instructor?" a newcomer curious girl asked.
"Isn't he the captain of the E team? Probably teaching his teammates often!"
"No, this title was obtained three years ago during the Saint Laurent team match. The Saint Laurent team didn't dare to speak during BO3 to maintain high attention, but still lost. It was said that the team's captain and commander suffered from stuttering afterwards, and E team public relations were very juvenile, saying that when the instructor came out, the whole map was muted, earning him this title."
"No wonder he’s called Silence, it's so cool!"
"Sister, you are very knowledgeable, are you also a fan of the E team?"
Lin Momi Haoren paused and said softly, "No." She pressed down on the brim of her cap and turned to the bar counter to absentmindedly look at the menu.
"Didn't Silence used to refuse interviews?"
"Maybe it's because he is on good terms with Tang Xiaotu... they seem very familiar in their chats."
"Envy... I heard that esports players like to find girlfriends from these nearby circles, such as cosplayers or singers."
"That’s right. You can't possibly go for a student who's studying far away!"
"Is this Tang Xiaotu a cosplayer? She cosplayed Diao Chan from Dynasty Warriors before."
Lin Momi Haoren felt even more stiff in her shoulders and neck for some inexplicable reason.
The drink menu only offered alcohol or happy water; there was no milk she wanted. She had to go out to the supermarket, and by the way, she called her friend Guo Bo.
"Chief Momi, what's the order?" Guo Bo answered immediately.
"Come and play a round." Lin Momi paid for the milk and said, "It's too difficult to handle four idiots."
"So, I'm still very powerful, right?" Guo Bo was ecstatic.
"Yeah." Lin Momi said, "At least your dishes are within my controllable range, it's better to drag three out-of-control idiots than four."
Guo Bo: "..."

The base of the Eternal team stands on a coveted piece of land by the river, a three-story mansion.
Just now, we won a championship in the international league, and our team manager, Zhong Xiang, granted the entire team a week off, so several internet-addicted youths can finally relax without being in front of the computer, filling their heads with tension, and now they are passing the time in various bizarre postures.
When Zhong Xiang returned, he pushed open the door and saw a round and chubby person sitting on the sofa eating fries and watching a live stream on the phone. Beside him lay a young boy with a sleep cap on, reading a comic, and there was another player who was slightly older exercising in front of the wall-mounted TV.
These three are respectively our artilleryman, Pan Da, vanguard Alu, and senior member.
The only guy sitting in front of the computer greeted Zhong Xiang. He had naturally smiling eyes, dyed ash-colored hair, and looked like the gentle second lead in a Korean drama. This was our former quartermaster, Xiao Xingheng, who had just announced his retirement to become a coach.
"How did it go? Did you negotiate with the POP team?" Zhong Xiang asked.
"No," Zhong Xiang looked a bit worried, "Doctor knows that we lack a quartermaster here and has raised the price from ten million to thirty million."
"Thirty million? Why doesn't he go rob a bank?" Alu, who had been reading comics, raised his head. "The signing fee for the Star God was only twenty million. Does he think he's more amazing than the Star God or that we can't do without him?"
"He thinks we can't do without him," Zhong Xiang sighed. "Currently, there aren't many quartermasters playing well. I checked the level of the youth training yesterday, and they're not that good. The autumn season is just around the corner, and I want Doctor to be able to quickly adapt."
"He used to compete head-to-head with the Star God and was always overshadowed by the Star God. Now that the Star God has become a coach, I don't think he'll obey the Star God even if he comes." Pan Da snorted. "It's best if he doesn't come!"
"I agree," senior member said. "A bad team relationship won't produce good results."
"You're all right," Zhong Xiang said. "So, tell me, how do four people play a team of five?"
"Umm..."
"You guys, with one leg being used for something other than playing games, stop comparing yourself with me here!" Zhong Xiang said.
Pan Da said, "We don't necessarily have to find a quartermaster. Finding a sniper would also work!"
Zhong Xiang said, "Then who will nurse you bunch of brutes?"
Pan Da said, "Captain! Isn't he an all-around player?"
Zhong Xiang said, "..."
Xiao Xingheng said, "..."
Pan Da said, "What's wrong?"
Zhong Xiang said, "Have you seen Silence play as a nurse?"
Pan Da said, "In professional matches...I haven't."
Zhong Xiang said, "If you have him nurse, his fans will scold him like hell."
Pan Da said, "..."
Alu frowned. "You guys are discriminating against nursing! Making it seem like nursing is shameful. Star God, do you also think that?"
Xiao Xingheng was about to talk, but the sound of the door closing was heard from upstairs. Yu Mo had just finished showering, was drying his hair, and coming down from the upstairs. He was wearing a loose black T-shirt, looking a bit thin with damp black hair on his forehead, giving off a lazy sexiness.
"It's not nursing discrimination, it's about increasing the margin for error," Yu Mo said.
"So you mean it's easy to play other classes except for snipers?" Alu rolled his eyes.
Zhong Xiang pointed at him. "Hey, how come you, little fawn, speak to the captain?"
Yu Mo didn't get angry. He sat down in front of the computer, and he suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head and said, "Zhong Xiang, let me tell you, I blocked Sugar Bunny."
Zhong Xiang said, "Huh?"
He stared at Yu Mo's back for a while, but the other party showed no intention of explaining, and just as Zhong Xiang was about to ask, his phone rang.
After the call, Zhong Xiang said in frustration, "Silence, why did you block her?"
"I added her because you said to keep the text records related to winning the championship. The interview is over, so why keep her?"
"What kind of scummy tone is that?"
"You hired her, so it's your responsibility to deal with it."
"The girl cried! Said she didn't know what she did wrong to make you dislike her!"
"She didn't cry when she sent me X-rated photos last night."
"X photo?!" The four onlookers exclaimed in unison, widening their eyes. "Where is it? Have you saved it, Captain?"
"No, I haven't," Yu Mo shot a glare. "Get lost."
Zhong Xiang, caught off guard, said awkwardly, "Tang Xiaotu said you hinted that you were interested first..."
"I have feelings for her? I can't even make it to the top ten in the BOD ranking. What's there to feel for her?" Yu Mo retorted.
The E-team members were speechless.
Pan Da exclaimed, "Bro, do you even know what you're saying?"
"Yeah, I do," Yu Mo felt no shame. "If I were to look for someone, it would be a fellow player. Someone who's as skilled as a professional player, or at least in the top 200 of the national server."
"..."
"What's wrong?"
"I think with your standards, you'll probably end up with Star God for the rest of your life." Zhong Xiang said stiffly. "Also, did you leave your mic on?"
Congratulations to the current sniper of the E-team and the former caretaker for coming out! Double happiness! The drama is over.
Yu Mo: ??
Xiao Xingheng: ??
Let's save the comments and go.
