All he cares about is e-sports.

He may have a rather high salary now,

but can he make a lifetime career out of e-sports?

Once a little known but talented live streamer,

now a professional player.

(No.1 Tamamo-no-Mae player on the Chinese server shows her face in a live stream)

Coward.

Cheng.

Tai would do these things to Tong Yao

in our training match?

He'll use Tamamo-no-Mae to defeat Tong Yao.

It's his best stratagem.

But Tong Yao is the best Tamamo-no-Mae player on the Chinese server.

She won't necessarily lose.

Running away is shameful but useful.

I'll be the pretty girl who enforces justice.

Even if he takes Tamamo-no-Mae,

I'll win.

You're quite optimistic.

(For professional players,)

(e-sports is...)

(Tong Yao Online)

You pulled an all-nighter?

I'll be there soon.

You spent the whole night playing Tamamo-no-Mae?

I thought you said you were fine.

I lied.

I am not fine.

I'm deeply troubled.

I can see that.

I can't play Tamamo-no-Mae well.

I'm not the No.1 Tamamo-no-Mae player on the Chinese server.

Little liar.

(ZGDX screwed up. Look how lame its new midsolo is.)

I accidentally observed

the training match between ZGDX and TAT on video.

As you know,

this video was not supposed to be made.

It must have been released on purpose.

Anyway, ZGDX lost miserably.

The other team's Tai used Tamamo-no-Mae to crush Tong Yao.

Tong Yao became the weak link.

I can see her teammates tried so hard to turn the tables.

But Smiling

was just inept and weighing the others down.

Look how the "new hope for the Chinese side"

you praised in the last few days

is performing now.

(Her opponent used the same shikigami as her)

(and completely destroyed her.)

(She is lame.)

When she wins, you praise her. When she loses, you insult her.

You certainly have a way to cope.

One training match doesn't mean anything.

Besides, it couldn't have been an accident

that all her victories were not observed

and her only defeat was observed.

TAT's motive is questionable.

Why do few people like this team

even though it won many championships?

It's time to ponder this question.

(Pope and Cheng were right)

(to leave TAT in succession.)

(I'm sure their fans are relieved.)

(It is contradictory)

(to like a player)

(and hate his team.)

(You were the one who sang its praises.)

(After it defeated a bunch of weak Chinese teams,)

(you showered it with compliments)

(How laughable.)

(Does it hurt you to know you were wrong?)

ZGDX is really unlucky

to have taken this weak midsolo in.

Please get Ming's substitute midsolo Lyu back.

(Smiling was crushed. Are those who called her the new hope for the Chinese side)

(feeling embarrassed now?)

My goodness.

TAT is just vicious.

Why did it post

the training match video online?

First, there was provocation

that forced the club to respond.

Then it targeted Tong Yao

and posted the video online

to lure the netizens into cyberbullying our new midsolo.

It's such a shameless act.

Despicable. Shameless.

Biscuit,

your mom is having a mood swing.

Be good.

This is my fault.

I should have stood my ground against the club.

Now others have bullied her.

Soon after she joined our team,

Tai crushed her like that.

Maybe she'll never recover from this setback

and lose the courage to play again.

Has she shut herself off?

She has been in her room for the whole day.

If she really is this vulnerable,

then she is not suited for a professional e-sports career.

She is new, after all.

This must be the first time

she has suffered this kind of setback.

As her teammates,

we should be more understanding.

Yes.

- She is just... - Yeah.

...a young woman in her early 20s.

We need to protect her

and care for her.

K, did you hear that?

Protect and care for her.

Is she a Class III protected animal

like the giant panda?

She doesn't need care and protection.

E-sports is unrelated to gender.

Wait.

Class III?

The giant panda is a Class I protected animal?

Look.

I told you.

(They signed a female member for hype.)

(Any team that wants to win will fight for Pope.)

(To draw attention, they even refused to let Lyu return.)

(Let me tell you a joke.)

(The Chinese Tamamo-no-Mae player)

(was crushed by the other Tamamo-no-Mae player.)

(ZGDX will never beat TAT.)

(TAT will remain the champion this year.)

(The Chinese Tamamo-no-Mae player is utterly weak.)

(At least those in favor of ZGDX only started to praise it after it won multiple matches in a row.)

(Now you poor wretches)

(saw them lose just one training match)

(and couldn't help criticizing them.)

(You must have suppressed yourselves for a long time.)

(All that holding back must have made you uncomfortable.)

(You find happiness in criticizing people.)

(You take delight in slandering people.)

(TAT will remain the champion?)

(If the Chinese team wins,)

(will you live-stream your trip to the toilet)

(where you will eat something)

(and cut off something?)

Is she still sleeping upstairs?

Yeah.

We haven't seen her all day.

This can't go on.

It was just a training match.

I'll go and talk to her.

Rui, I'm going out.

Jinyang wants to see me.

You'll come back, right?

Don't stay out late.

You're a girl. Be careful outside.

It's good for her to hang out,

away from the internet at this time.

You saw what happened.

Someone posted

the training match video.

Nobody will be willing to train with them now.

That's why they don't have training matches with other teams.

Usually, they just split into two groups and compete with each other.

A bunch of jerks.

I think Tong Yao is fine now.

She looks fine.

But she must be hurting on the inside.

She has been here for a while,

but that was the first time she trained all night.

Right.

I saw the dark circles under her eyes.

Heaven knows when she went to bed.

Half past five in the morning.

You lost points.

I'm just playing for fun.

(Don't come back too late.)

Welcome.

We made reservations.

Alright.

Come here.

Stop wallowing in depression.

Cheer up.

Sit down.

See what you would like to order.

Thank you.

Take a look. What do you want to drink?

I can't drink alcohol.

I don't mean for you to drink alcohol.

I took you out to lighten your mood.

Make your pick.

Here.

Alright.

Long Island Iced Tea.

I will have this.

Two glasses of Long Island Iced Tea.

Understood. Just a second.

Long Island Iced Tea can make you strong.

Strong?

You just lost a training match.

When Ai Jia just started to participate in professional competitions,

he was so young and inexperienced

that he often suffered emotional breakdowns after losing.

He cried in the balcony

to keep me from finding out.

He was such a crybaby.

But a day after the cry,

he began revving himself up

for the next match.

I couldn't hold the tears in either.

I cried for the whole morning.

You said you were not weak a moment ago.

Alright.

There is no shame in crying as a young woman.

I cried hideously and someone saw it.

What are you mumbling about?

Take it easy.

How could you be so impetuous?

That's very wild of you, Miss.

Come here. Drink with me.

Drink with me.

Who are you?

Just one drink.

Come here.

What are you doing?

Who are you?

Piss off.

What a lingering nuisance.

Why does he know we are here?

Who knows?

He must have a sense of smell as keen as that of a dog.

After I put makeup on you the other day,

he caught me.

Ai Jia.

Can you please control the look in your eyes?

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

Yang.

Babe.

You.

Move away.

Wait until I finish talking to my friend.

Yao.

Every e-sports player

faces losses as well as victories.

Obviously, you don't win every game.

It was just a training match.

You still have a chance in the National League.

Don't care about others' opinions.

Here is an idea.

I can pay some people

to throw the insults back at your haters.

Yeah.

Everyone loses at some point.

I don't know that guy Tai.

But don't worry,

if I ever compete with him,

I'll avenge you.

Shut up.

Nobody wants to hear you talk.

She is perfectly capable of taking revenge on her own.

She doesn't need you to avenge her.

That's not what I mean.

I just told you to move away.

Go.

My friend,

how can I

cheer you up?

How about

I treat you to a beefcake show

like that in Las Vegas?

(Come quickly. Your opportunity is here.)

Then again,

I don't understand why Tai

can affect you professional players so deeply

by using the shikigami you are good at playing

to defeat you.

Ox retired because of this.

I didn't expect the same thing to happen to Tong Yao today.

Logically,

you should be infuriated that you were defeated

by someone using the shikigami

you were good at playing.

That's not what this is about.

In order to use a shikigami adeptly,

you need to analyze the shikigami's skills

and employ the techniques proficiently.

You also need to understand the whole game.

So you'll feel greatly frustrated

once you lose.

You still don't understand?

Let me put it this way.

You'd been good at English since childhood.

You outshone everyone around you.

You could even communicate with foreigners smoothly.

Every time the school organized a speech event,

you were there to participate.

You were the legendary English learner in this city.

Then one day,

you won first prize in a municipal competition

and moved on to participate in a national English summer camp.

You found that every participant

was as good as you.

When some of them spoke,

you had to wrack your brain

trying to figure out what they were talking about.

As you felt confused and lost,

they turned back and mocked you.

They said, "You are not qualified

for the summer camp."

What would you think?

Let me put it another way.

A group of people who spoke different foreign languages

attended a party.

One of them spoke perfect Japanese.

You could barely understand what he was saying.

What would you think?

You would think,

"This person speaks perfect Japanese.

But what does it have to do with me?

I don't speak Japanese anyway."

If you put it that way...

So, what Tamamo-no-Mae means to Tong Yao is...

What?

Never mind.

As a professional player,

she'll go through this sooner or later.

(Heading to your destination, SOHO Bar.)

Stop reading the negative things.

I brought you here to have fun.

Quit drinking.

Excuse me,

can I have one more glass of iced black tea?

Sit down.

What you had was not iced black tea.

It was Long Island Iced Tea.

Jian Yang?

What is he doing here?

You snitching bastard.

Are you so eager to meet your doom?

Come here.

But...

Come here.

- Come here. - What do you want?

They can be together. We can be together.

This is nice.

Yao, stop drinking.

Go away.

Come on, let me take you away to wash your face.

Get some fresh air.

I won't live-stream

or compete or perform on stage.

Why should I wash my face?

Who are you?

It's 11 o'clock.

Why is Tong Yao still not back?

Did that silly girl jump into the sea?

(Tong Yao) (SOHO Bar. Come quickly.)

Why did you message Lu Sicheng?

I already got Jian Yang here.

Maybe they will get back together tonight.

When did I allow that to happen?

A lying and cheating man

doesn't deserve to be with my bestie.

That was a misunderstanding.

Jian Yang has always loved Tong Yao.

Don't claim it is a misunderstanding.

Besides, Tong Yao doesn't love Jian Yang anymore.

If that's the case, why did she become a professional player?

Her professional e-sports career has nothing to do with men.

Moreover,

if they loved each other, why did they break up?

We love each other, but we almost broke up too.

It's normal for lovers

to break up and get back together.

Anyway, I'm on Jian Yang's side.

Jian Yang is my friend.

Tong Yao is my bestie.

A good woman should choose a man worthy of her.

It's enough to have one of us

go blind.

Blind?

Who is blind?

I am.

Really?

Let me see.

Let me have a look.

You don't look blind.

Piss off.

Yao.

I know you're feeling down

after losing the match.

But you shouldn't use alcohol

to numb yourself.

You also shouldn't turn those who care about you away.

I've thought a lot these days.

I made mistakes in the past.

I shouldn't have lied.

I shouldn't have been annoyed by you and avoided explaining.

Now I understand.

Yao.

I can't live without you.

Without you,

I couldn't play games well.

I read every piece of news about you.

and felt terrible

whether you were faring well or not.

When you were faring well, I felt terrible

because I was not the one who made you happy.

When you were not faring well,

I wanted to be with you.

I know I should tell you this

when you are sober.

But I can't help it.

Give me one more chance.

Let's get back together.

Okay?

Where is my phone?

Where is my phone?

Here it is.

Come here.

Give them some space.

Tong Yao is feeling awful right now.

This is all because

you Internet addicts are outrageous.

Chen Jinyang.

You can insult me.,

but don't call me an Internet addict.

I might sue you for libel.

How dare you talk back?

You spent every day using the computer.

Of course you are an Internet addict.

Programmers use the computer every day too.

We are professional players.

We are athletes.

We are not fooling around.

Professional players?

Is your future promising?

I don't appreciate that coming from you.

My future is certainly promising.

I fight to win honor for the country.

Don't be mad.

Yao.

What are you looking at?

I'm looking at

my grandpa's comment.

Who would name their accounts like that?

Stop reading.

Let them say whatever they want.

We'll just do our job.

Come on. No more drinking.

I'll take you home.

Jian Yang.

You don't know me at all.

You have no idea what I care about.

I don't care

what the netizens say.

Those haters can't beat me.

I'm bothered

because of what Tamamo-no-Mae

means to me...

- Are you okay? - Jian Yang.

Jian Yang, what's the matter with you?

How did you make her puke?

She said I didn't know what she cared about.

Even I know what she cares about.

You care about the fact

that another player used the shikigami

you're good at playing to defeat you, right?

I understand this feeling.

You don't understand anything.

Mom, I lost my baby tooth.

The upper one or the lower one?

If it's the upper one, I'll toss it under your bed.

Captain, you're finally here.

Hey, wake up.

Someone is here to pick you up.

I think I'm seeing our captain.

He is glaring at me fiercely,

as if he would throw me into the sea.

I'll set sail and scoop your corpse out of the sea.

How did she get so drunk?

She was feeling down

and I worried she might start reading the netizens' comments again

if she had nothing to do.

I didn't expect her to get drunk.

That's not true.

I drank iced black tea.

Shut up.

Why is he being stern in my dream?

I'm taking her back.

I can take Tong Yao back.

I'm the captain of her team.

I'm obligated to send her back to the team's base.

I'm her ex-boyfriend.

Ex. That means you are not her boyfriend anymore.

Come on.

What are you up to this time?

I want to send Tong Yao back.

Cheng can do it. You are not needed.

Should I let them be with each other alone?

I don't feel easy about it.

Jian Yang.

You and Tong Yao have broken up already.

My slipper... My slipper fell off...

Where is my slipper?

In my hand.

I want to wear it.

You're not walking. Don't bother to wear it.

Stop or I'll shake you off.

You're so mean.

Cheng,

why are you always so mean?

Can't you be kind?

Carrying you is the kindest thing I can do.

Shorty.

Do you know

that it is normal to lose and win?

I know.

You told me that.

Do you know

that other people's insults

won't stop you from becoming

an exceptional e-sports player?

I know.

That's why I don't care

about the haters' comments at all.

Cheng,

I didn't cry because of my defeat

or the comments

or my self-esteem.

I just didn't like being a burden to my teammates,

feeling anxious, uneasy, self-abased, conceited.

Can I really be a good professional player?

Do I really know how to play this game?

Do I really know how to play Tamamo-no-Mae?

Jian Yang and the others don't understand

that Tamamo-no-Mae is actually my...

Faith.

Yes.

Cheng.

Now my faith has crumbled.

What should I do?

How about you resolve to win

and find a new faith?

It's not that easy.

You'll never know until you try.

I'll know if I try?

You should know

that Ming picked you

from hundreds of people.

Are you questioning his judgment?

I can teach you.

Cheng.

You're lying.

You are such a good player.

You'd never let yourself be humiliated in this way.

You can't teach me stuff like this.

You're so proud.

Why aren't you talking?

I'm starting to think that your words make sense.

Wake up.

If you go back like this,

Rui will chide you for certain.

I'll buy drugs to sober you up.

Wait here for me.

Why are you glaring at me?

You once dragged me like this.

And you almost pulled me down.

I've wanted to do this for a long time.

Are you going to fall?

Are you going to fall?

Are you going to fall? Are you?

No.

Give me five minutes.

So what if you have long legs?

It takes me ten minutes to walk from this place

to the entrance of the residential area.

What if a lecher shows up?

No lecher would take an interest in you.

Right.

Go now.

I'll stay here.

From now on, I'll be like Wei Sheng.

I won't leave until you come back.

You seem more cultured when you are drunk.

You just referred to a character from a classic.

Fine. Hug that thing tight, Wei Sheng.

Idiot.

I'm not drunk.

I don't need any drug to sober up.

I just talked to you about my dreams.

I'm as sober as I can be.

Wake up from your sleep, guys.

I'm back.

I'm back.

I'm back.

Cheng.

I thought you left to buy me drugs.

How come you came back earlier than I did?

A ghost!

(Lu Yue, Midsolo, Cunning Gaming Strategy Shikigami: Shaku!)

What are you doing?

Cheng, there is a ghost in the base.

There is a ghost who looks

exactly the same as you in the base.

He is very scary. I'm terrified.

Get off me, drunkard.

No, there is a ghost in the base.

Get off me.

No.

Tong Yao.

I hope you won't admit what you did today

after waking up tomorrow.

What if I admit it?

I will have peace for a month.

You are short and unattractive.

How come you weigh more than 50 kilograms?

You're as heavy as a pig.

I'm retracting my hands.

No.

One. Two...

You wouldn't dare!

What are you doing here?

What?

You are not a ghost?

Have you seen such a handsome ghost?

You two look alike.

We have the same parents.

Of course we look alike.

Lu Yue.

Ming.

Tell us why you came back.

I was going

to start for Kenya

and observe the great animal migration

when I found on the internet

that Tai crushed Tong Yao,

the latest addition to your team.

I heard that he destroyed that poor girl.

I was not destroyed.

I'm pretty good.

At that time, a voice

occurred in my head.

"Lord Lu Yue,

it's time to go back and be a professional player."

So,

you're Tong Yao,

the player who got destroyed by Tai.

Did I say you could ask questions?

I just want to know.

The way you came in with her

made me think she was your girlfriend.

I almost messaged our mother to announce the great news.

Her eldest son actually prefers women.

She'll get to

sleep tight.

Shut up.

You are frivolous as usual,

Lu Yue.

But I'm telling you,

we have a new midsolo now.

You came back late.

What do you mean by "late"?

I was banned from competing.

It'd have been pointless if I'd come back sooner.

What?

You got banned?

It served you right. I'm so happy.

Can someone get this lunatic under control?

Hey,

I've heard that ZGDX

hasn't chosen a starting midsolo

for the National League.

Ming, I would like to compete.

No.

I'll message our mother then.

Mom,

the weather has turned cool lately.

I dropped by Cheng's team base

to give him a thermal outfit.

Then I saw Pope,

the guy involved in a romantic scandal with him.

He came all the way to China for Cheng.

And I caught him lying in the bed with Cheng.

They were smooching.

Don't you dare send that message.

I'm serious.

You'll run into TAT again sooner or later.

You shouldn't rely on Tong Yao,

namely this lady,

to regain confidence in the official competition

and defeat the player who had shattered her hope once.

You'd better smarten up

and get a substitute player

who can counter Tai's moves,

and that is

me.

It's true that dreams are important,

and exciting stories about rising in adversity

fill people's eyes with tears.

But sometimes people

should face reality.

You don't win a trophy

by shouting slogans

and performing the goose step. Am I right?

Am I going back to being the substitute for the substitute?

Am I going to be the only

starting midsolo who can't play

and can only watch as the substitute?

Am I never going to play

in the National League?

I don't want that.

I want to play in the National League.

You can't make me a substitute.

I just lost one match.

I don't want to see the water dispenser.

Tong Yao, how much alcohol did you drink?

I didn't drink alcohol.

I drank iced black tea.

I'm not drunk.

Cheng,

I want to be a professional player.

I want to take revenge.

I'm very competent.

You can't make me see the water dispenser.

Cheng, exactly how much did she drink?

I don't know.

We'll report the bar across the street

for selling alcoholic drinks to an underage customer.

We can check the surveillance footage.

Cheng,

this is for you.

It's my last gift for you

as the team's carry.

See?

Having one lunatic on the team is enough.

Our vacancy has been filled.

You may go and ask

if other teams need your help.

What?

I'm going now.

Ming, this is for you.

This is for you.

This is for you.

Goodbye. Farewell. Bye-bye.
