After breakfast, Sang Jun followed Chu Jianxin to Time team’s training room.
There were more than a dozen computers side by side in the training room, and two teenagers were leaning against their desks and chatting. After entering the door, they naturally come up to them and say, “Hey, why come so early!” Then he pulled Sang Jun to his side and introduced him. “This is Sang Jun, the newcomer to training camp, my roommate!”
As soon as he said this, Cheng Wei’s voice came from behind. “Xiao Chu, you are so active, and you rushed to say what captain Tan wanted to say?”
Sang Jun looked back and found that Tan Shitian and Cheng Wei had arrived.
They were also followed by several boys, who were the main players of the Time team.
Tan Shitian smiled and walked into the training room, “Let me introduce, Sang Jun is a newcomer who was just admitted by the club some time ago, and he is very good at playing assassins. From today on, he will be your teammate. Next season, I will find an opportunity to take you to the game. There are still a few months to go, everyone pays close attention to training and must not take it easy.”
Everyone nodded and said yes.
Tan Shitian turned around and asked, “Xiao Wei, do you want to continue to fight them one-on-one?”
Cheng Wei said, “Yes, I set aside an hour every morning to fight one-on-one with everyone.”
Tan Shitian looked at him helplessly. “Isn’t it good for you to be like this? Find the newcomers in the training camp and ask everyone to buy you food. Isn’t this bullying them?”
Cheng Wei smiled. “No! I am giving them the opportunity to learn from official professional players, right?”
Everyone immediately nodded like pounding garlic. “Yes, yes, yes, god Wei doesn’t bully us!”
“We like to fight god Wei!”
“We can’t beat god Wei because we’re weak.”
Tan Shitian smiled gently, stretched out his hand and held Cheng Wei’s shoulder, and said, “Then, in the future, I will pick one person from the training camp to fight with you every day. If you win, I will accompany you to the supermarket at noon. You can swipe my card at will, and you can buy whatever you want. If you lose, take the initiative to invite newcomers to a meal. Newcomers’ salary isn’t high. You ask them to buy snacks for you every day. What if their living expenses are not enough?”
Captain Tan’s tone of coaxing a child surprised everyone.
However, Cheng Wei liked it very much. After thinking about it, he thought that this proposal was feasible, so he said, “No problem, so who do you choose to fight with me?”
Tan Shitian glanced over the newcomers in the training camp and said, “Sang Jun, come and try.”
The newcomers around looked at Sang Jun uniformly, but Sang Jun, who was named, looked calm and stepped forward and said, “God Wei, please give me more advice.”
Cheng Wei and Sang Jun each turned on the computer and logged in to the Miracle. Tan Shitian opened an arena to pull them in, while the rest of the team watched.
Hearing from the manager that Sang Jun was a newcomer with outstanding talents, Tan Shitian just wanted to take this opportunity to try his skills.
The challenge arena began.
Cheng Wei was usually simple-minded, but he was very serious every time he played the game. The jungle map was selected for the challenge arena. Cheng Wei’s white magician used the terrain to open the distance as soon as the game started, and Sang Jun manipulated the assassin’s. Before, look for opportunities to sneak attack. Just as the assassin went around the next set of explosives to maimed the magician, the magician suddenly threw a strong control to hold the assassin in place, flew to the distance, followed a set of combos, and quickly pulled the health back.
Both men fought hard, and Tan Shitian watched the battle from the perspective of God, and found that Sang Jun, a newcomer, was really good.
In the end, Cheng Wei relied on his rich experience to block Sang Jun’s viewpoint, and a set of combos instantly emptied his blood. The word ‘Victory’ popped up on the screen, and Cheng Wei excitedly said. “I won! Captain Tan, you agreed to go shopping in the afternoon and swipe your card!”
“No problem.” Tan Shitian simply took out his credit card and handed it to him.
Standing up, Sang Jung said, “God Wei is very powerful.”
Cheng Wei scratched his head with a smile. “You’re not bad either! To tell you the truth, you are the first one who can push me to this point when fighting the newcomers!”
Tan Shitian looked thoughtfully at Sang Jun—— this teenager had a very strong psychological quality.
From the spectator’s point of view, he knew that Cheng Wei had just tried his best. In this case, most of the newcomers could not live under Cheng Wei for 30 seconds, but Sang Jun was not afraid at all. Instead, he took the initiative to look for the opportunity to shoot. He used the terrain as a cover several times, and the operation of stealth and bypassing made people eye-catching.
As the manager said, he was a very talented and malleable talent.
Tan Shitian smiled slightly and said, “The members of the main team come with me to prepare for next week’s game. Xiao Chu, take Sang Jun and introduce him to the training camp.”
“Understood, captain Tan!” Chu Jianxin nodded.
At the captain’s command, they immediately separated into two rows. The players of the main team sat in front of the first row of computers, while the people in the training camp consciously came to the opposite side.
Chu Jianxin turned on a computer and said to Sang Jun, “Sit here, there is no one in this seat.”
Sang Jun nodded. “Okay.”

Sang Jun did so, and both of them added friends to each other in the game, and Sang Jun found that Chu Jianxin’s character was actually a Paladin.
Among Miracles’ class, the Paladin class was the most defensive and could be said to be the shield of the team. But the disadvantage was also obvious, there was no attack skills, and the need to protect teammates to output. The Paladin in the game was tall, burly and sturdy, in sharp contrast to Chu Jianxin’s figure.
Sang Jun couldn’t help wondering. “Why do you play this meat shield type career?”
Chu Jianxin scratched his head and said, “My hand speed is not so fast. If I play the output, I can’t hit explosion damage. It’s easy to play with meat shields. I like to rush in front to protect my teammates! Hehe, I’m thin and play a burly Paladin. Don’t you think it’s just complementary?”
Seeing his smile, Sang Jun couldn’t help but smile. “It is quite complementary.”
After speaking, a prompt of successful matching appeared on the screen, and the both of them entered the game room.
There was a single and partner challenge arena in Miracle, and it was partner challenge arena that the Time Team would practice in the morning.
As soon as he entered the arena, he heard Chu Jianxin’s complaint. “D*mn it, how did we meet these two people ah, it’s over!”
“Why?” Sang Jun wondered. “Are the assassin and summoner opposite very powerful?”
Chu Jianxin explained. “The assassin named HH is Xiao Han’s smurf account, and the summoner named MM is Qin Mo’s smurf account. When they are idle, they will team up to abuse people in the arena!”
Hearing this, Wen Hua next to him also interrupted. “It’s very easy to hit the great God when you match in the high section. You two hit the big devil at the beginning.”
Chu Jianxin rubbed his hands excitedly. “Come on, Sang Jun, let’s have a good game, and I’ll protect you! You first go and kill Qin Mo’s pets. His pets are so annoying!”
Sang Jun was a newcomer and wasn’t familiar with many people in Miracle League, but he had heard of the name of Twin Stars—— Xiao Han was Li Cangyu’s apprentice and Qin Mo was Ling Xuefeng’s apprentice. Although they weren’t in the same team, they were said to have a very good relationship. When there was no competition, they often formed a team to fight in private.
Unexpectedly, to meet them in the challenge arena.
Sang Jun concentrated and looked at the countdown on the screen. At the moment when the countdown ended, he immediately entered the stealth state, and wanted to wait for an opportunity to lurk in passing and kill the summoner first.
Without pet protection, the summoner was very vulnerable.
He wanted to seize the opportunity that Qin Mo didn’t summon pets and kill the opponent. But obviously, Qin Mo wouldn’t wait to die. Almost at the moment when Sang Jun appeared, he summoned the Blood Knight properly, and the skill of opening the shield offset all the damage for his master. At the same time, he summoned the Bloody Spider and immobilised Sang Jun in place.
The opponent fought back too fast, and Sang Jun was controlled by the pet before he could retreat.
At the moment when Sang Jun was immobilised, an assassin appeared immediately, stabbing his back with a sharp blade in his hand.
Chu Jianxin came running to save him. As a result, Qin Mo manipulated the Blood Knight to block his way, and tied him in place with a Blood Snake.
Hiding in the sky and covering the earth, blood-colored bats bit at the two of them, hitting a super high range of damage, and a black-clothed assassin followed the rhythm of the blood bat to burst at the highest hand speed.
Under Qin Mo’s strong pet control, Xiao Han directly won the double kill.
After exiting the arena, Xiao Han typed a line on the room channel: “Time team Xiao Chu?”
At that time, Chu Jianxin was still small and transparent in training camp. Xiao Han was impressed by him because this guy was very active in the group. He was never absent every time he met the great gods in the arena. He often rubbed all kinds of free arenas to play with the great gods, and played with Xiao Han many times. For a long time, everyone knew that there was an active teenager named Chu Jianxin in the Time team’s training camp.
Chu Jianxin, who was recognised, quickly typed: “Hello god Han, hello god Mo!”
Xiao Han asked: “Are you practicing partner challenge arena again?”
Chu Jianxin: “En, practice with my roommate.”
Qin Mo: “Xiao Han, I’ll get off first. There is something wrong in the team, so go to the queue by yourself.”
Xiao Han sent an aggrieved expression: “You are going to abandon me again T_T”
Qin Mo couldn’t laugh or cry: “The word ‘abandon’ shouldn’t be used like this. Don’t be garrulous with you, I’ll off, bye everyone.”
Seeing him offline, Xiao Han also sent a wave of goodbye emoticons: “Then I’m off too, Chu Jianxin, you can play by yourself.”
Sang Jun had not interrupted, on the one hand, he and Han-Mo weren’t familiar with, on the other hand, he was still thinking about the game just now—— Qin Mo’s hand speed was too fast, he thought he could kill the crispy summoner close behind, but didn’t expect Qin Mo to quickly counter-control.
In such a short period of time, Qin Mo continuously summoned four kinds of pets: Blood Knight, Blood Spider, Blood Snake and Blood Bat, and used pet skills to play exquisite field control in an orderly manner. Qin Mo was worthy of being the summoner who had played in the World Competition.
And Xiao Han’s shooting speed was too fast to react, almost the moment Qin Mo controlled his opponent, Xiao Han directly broke out and killed Sang Jun in second.
Was this the legendary Twin Stars?
Sure enough, it was somewhat terrible.
Sang Jun was so impressed that he recorded the game just now and wanted to study it slowly.
Chu Jianxin next to him also sighed softly, “Sigh, compared to Han-Mo, we are really like vegetables, and obviously our age isn’t much different… It was a bit of a blow.”
Looking at his depressed appearance with his head drooping, Sang Jun casually comforted him. “They are players who have played in World Competition, and we are newcomers who have not yet made our debut, so naturally we cannot compare to them. But one day, we can stand on the stage and have a real contest with them. Is it too early for you to lose heart now?”
Hearing this, Chu Jianxin suddenly brightened his eyes and immediately recovered his spirit, “That’s right! Both of them are led by the great God master, and have played in World Competition. They must have more experience than us. It’s normal for us to lose! Next season we will officially debut. If we play more games, our consciousness will certainly become stronger!”
Sang Jun: “En,” and carefully studied the video of the game.
From that day on, they would team up every day to play partner challenge arena. During this period, they also met many excellent partners in the league, and even met the legendary combination of Ling-Cat’s double summoning. As a result, of course, they were taught to be man by the other side.
Every time they met the great God, they were almost abused and had no power to fight back.
However, Chu Jianxin had an optimistic personality, and even if he was abused, he could immediately get up his spirits and enter the next game.
Sang Jun was thoughtful and could sum up experiences and lessons from the lost games every time. He was so calm that he didn’t look like a 17-or 18-year-old boy at all.
After returning to the dormitory in the evening, they sat together to discuss their experiences and harvests. They learnt from each other, supervised each other, gradually, the level of both of them was advancing by leaps and bounds, and even Tan Shitian realised that the strength of these two people wasn’t lost to the formal professional players.
So on a certain weekend, Tan Shitian called them and said, “I have an appointment with Liu Xiang of the Red Fox team for a training match. We will start playing at 8pm tonight. This competition will be scored according to the league system. Go back and prepare for it. Let me see the training results during this time.”
Chu Jianxin was very excited, and Sang Jun was also looking forward to it. He had been practicing in the training camp since he came to the team, and this was the first time he had officially played the game.
At 8pm in the evening, both sides were ready, Tan Shitian and Liu Xiang acted as referees and opened a custom competition room.
In the first game, Time team didn’t play well. Red Fox’s girls were especially good at kite control tactics in the jungle map. Chu Jianxin as a meat shield forcibly opened control, but it had no effect. Sang Jun swam around the perimeter, although he killed a crispy skin, but because of his own heavy casualties, he was finally killed by his opponent.
They lost to Red Fox team again in the second game. The reason for this loss was that the magician on the Red Fox side had strong field control, which made their team battle collapse rapidly. Without recovering, the core output was killed in seconds.
Obviously, several girls of Red Fox had been practicing teamwork for a long time and had a very tacit understanding.
The training match was generally played in three rounds, and two rounds had already been lost. If they made 0:3 to fight with girls. That would be too lost!
Chu Jianxin was in a bit of a hurry and looked back at Sang Jun and said, “Why don’t we change our strategy? Don’t let the archers be the core. Why don’t you take the lead as core output?”
“Let’s try.” Sang Jun nodded.
After learning the lesson of the first game, they fought again.
Chu Jianxin kept a good distance with his teammates, opened shields to protect his archers, and pretended to play kite flow tactics. A girl on the Red Fox side was very calm and kept harassing with group control skills in the distance. The group control of the magician was very useful when playing in a team battle. As long as they predicted the opponent’s position and controlled more than one person, it would cause an instant reversal of the situation.
Chu Jianxin noticed this, and said, “We have to solve the magician first. We will take cover. Sang Jun, you can hide behind her to kill.”
“En,” Sang Jun quickly walked around in stealth.
Chu Jianxin rushed with his teammates and attracted the other party’s attention to the front.
Sure enough, when they rushed over, the Red Fox’s girls smashed their group attack skills one after another. For a time, the light effects of all kinds of skills almost blinded people’s eyes, and a large number of control skills made it almost impossible for Chu Jianxin’s front row meat shield to move. The amount of blood was falling.
But he still stood in the front row without fear until the moment when Sang Jun successfully lurked behind the core players of the other party, Chu Jianxin suddenly opened the skill of forcibly absorbing hatred in the range to help Sang Jun resist all the damage.
Sang Jun shot and killed the other magician in one breath.
Due to the timely activation of Chu Jianxin’s protection skill, all the damages that the other party attacked Sang Jun with, were transferred to Chu Jianxin.
Chu Jianxin could not bear it and was quickly killed in battle.
But Sang Jun took advantage of this time to burst out in an instant and killed two opposite magicians in seconds!
One meat shield on their side replaces the two magicians opposite. This wave wasn’t a loss. Chu Jianxin excitedly praised. “Well done!”
Sang Jun went around to the back row to kill two magicians, quickly disrupting the formation of the Red Fox, and several other newcomers in the Time team were not fools. Seeing this, they immediately cooperated with Sang Jun to keep up with the output and destroyed the Red Fox team.
——Victory!
Seeing the words that popped up on the screen, Chu Jianxin was so excited that he almost burst into tears, and immediately turned around and gave Sang Jun a big hug: “Awesome! You were so handsome just now!”
Sang Jun: “…”
He almost didn’t catch his breath, Sang Jun supported himself up with the desktop table with one hand.
The teenager in his arms, with a faint shower gel fragrance on his hair, held himself so directly that Sang Jun’s breath almost stopped at that moment.
The soft hair slid across his chin, and the white ear was on his lips…
Sang Jun didn’t hear what his teammates said. He only heard his heart beat violently.
Chu Jianxin didn’t notice Sang Jun’s stiffness in the slightest, and smiled while holding him. “Awesome! A set of skills to get two kills in a row, our family Junjun is really amazing!”
Sang Jun: “…”
After a moment of silence, Sang Jun regained his mind, reached out and hugged him, and whispered, “There’s no need to be so excited, right?”
Chu Jianxin said confidently, “It’s better to get a game back than lose 3:0. Don’t you feel ashamed to be told by the girls of National Grace to lose 3:0?”
The teammates around were laughing and said, “In fact, it’s not humiliating. Today, it’s said that sister Junru is also here. That’s the most promising successor of sister Xiang! I’ve been following Sister Xiang for a long time.”
Someone else said, “The cooperation between the two of you is quite tacit.”
Chu Jianxin raised his eyebrows proudly. “Of course! Regardless of the fact that we mix together every day and eat and live together, our brain waves can naturally be synchronized!”
Tan Shitian smiled slightly, stood up from his seat, and said. “It’s just a training game. You don’t need to care too much about the result. I will analyze the specific teamfight tactics with you slowly. Okay, let’s go downstairs for a midnight snack first, and I will treat you.”
Everyone was very happy when they went downstairs to have a snack.
Tan Shitian also took the initiative to praise Sang Jun and said, “You have made great progress in this period of time, far exceeding my expectations. This season is coming to an end. Next season, you and Xiao Chu will follow me for a regular season.”
“Yes, captain Tan.” Sang Jun nodded.
After midnight snacks and returning to the dormitory, Sang Jun told Chu Jianxin what captain Tan said.
Chu Jianxin immediately jumped onto the bed excitedly, looking forward to it. “Great, we will make our official debut next season!”
He was lying on the bed with his feet swaying, a slipper was shaken off by him, and rolling around in front of Sang Jun.
Sang Jun helplessly picked up his slippers, sat down by his bed and asked, “How can you be sure that I can kill the output of the opposite side when you use that desperate style of play today to help me withstand the damage?”
Without hesitation, Chu Jianxin replied. “I believe you!”
I believe you.
Speaking without hesitation was like believing the other party was a matter of course.
At that moment, Sang Jun only felt his heart tremble slightly, as if it was the deepest string at the bottom of his heart, touched by something.
He couldn’t help looking back—— Chu Jianxin was lying flat on the bed, his face was full of smiles, his eyes were bright and sincere, and he said with a smile. “We train together every day, and I know your level best. You have made great progress in this period, and I think you can definitely do it, so I tried my best to protect you. Facts have proved that I didn’t misread you, and you did it, even killed two in a row, super handsome!”
His voice was particularly warm in the quiet night, like a cat’s paw scratching the tip of his heart.
Those lips were very beautiful light pink, and it was opened and closed repeatedly as he spoke, revealing the neat, white teeth inside.
Hearing his heartbeat, Sang Jun looked at the other and asked in a low voice. “How long have we known each other, do you believe me so much?”
Chu Jianxin said earnestly, “Of course! You are my roommate and will be my best teammate in the future. How can you play the game if you don’t believe your teammates? Moreover, your consciousness is much better than mine. I especially admire your analysis of those details every time you play the challenge arena. I’m not as careful as you. I can’t find those mistakes. Seriously, after you came to the team, I learned a lot from you. It’s great to have a good brother to work hard and make progress together! If I don’t believe you, who will I believe?”
Sang Jun didn’t speak.
He stared at Chu Jianxin’s lips, and suddenly had the urge to kiss him hard.
The teenager in front of him was simple, straightforward, warm-hearted and brave, and treated everyone around him sincerely.
This boy was as beautiful as the warmest sunshine.
Such a bright person had an irresistible and fatal attraction to him walking in the dark.
Sang Jun clenched his fist so hard that he resisted the impulse to get close to this person. Standing up, he took a deep breath to stabilize his heartbeat, and said calmly, “Don’t always call me Sang Jun this or Sang Jun that, it sounds unfamiliar to call me by my full name.”
Chu Jianxin said, “I also find it a bit awkward for you to call me by my full name. You call me Xiao Chu like them, or… I call you Xiao Sang? Or Sangsang? Will it be too disgusting?”
Sang Jun smiled. “No.”
This call will be exclusively for you in the future.
Because to me, you are the most special existence.
