Let Me Sleep a Little Longer [Esports] - Chapter 19
Netizens were extremely excited to see Su Heng’s reply, and the number of comments once again hit a new high.
But this time, the number of new fans clearly increased.
【Oh my god, Sleeping replied to me? Is this really the Silver Killer in the game who never responds to anyone? Oh no no no, now it’s the Platinum Killer.】
【Come on, come on, people who want to solo with Sleeping, start lining up.】
【100 RMB for sale: solo spot on the first floor.】
【Hahaha, miss, with this personality, from today on I’m no longer just a fan of your looks, I’m your die-hard fan!!!】
Regardless of how excited the netizens were, the culprit had already gone to bed early.
The next day, when Su Heng woke up, it was already 2 PM.
。
Except for Lao Yu, who was still gnawing on a chicken leg, everyone else had already fallen into the abyss of ranked matches and live streaming.
…
…
Su Heng couldn’t help but smile as she looked at Lao Yu’s greasy face. Why did she always see him persistently battling with food every time she got up? She was very curious about just how big Lao Yu’s appetite really was.
Old Fish saw Su Heng, hopped over with a chicken leg still half-eaten in his mouth, and mumbled unclearly, « Xiao Gege (sister) awake, wanna duo queue? »
Su Heng repeated it twice in her mind before understanding his meaning, then smiled and said, « Aren’t you queuing with Wave? »
Old Fish, sensing a chance, quickly spat out the bone: « If I queue with him, I can only play support; if I queue with you, I can play mid. »
His tone was full of joy, making Wave roll his eyes, and Sun He also laughed.
Su Heng nodded: « Okay, I’ll go get some drinks. After you finish eating, we’ll duo queue. »
Before she could step out, Zhou Lingxing, who was dismantling crystals, spoke calmly: « You better think carefully before agreeing to him. »
Su Heng was stunned: « Huh? »
Meanwhile, Zhou Lingxing had already started attacking the two front towers of the enemy base, his mouth not idle: « What makes you trust a support player to play mid? »
Old Yu puffed out his cheeks and glared, about to retort, but Su Heng beat him to it: « Wasn’t it you who said we should trust our teammates? »
Zhou Lingxing was stumped by Su Heng’s question, unable to say a word for a long time.
Old Yu was so touched that his eyes welled up with tears.
Besides, » Su Heng said, reaching into the fridge to grab a can of milk, « even if he’s bad, I can still carry him.
Successfully, Lao Yu squeezed back the tears that were about to fall again.
Just as the two finally sat down to start their duo queue, the process was interrupted by the sudden opening of the training room door.
What caught everyone’s eyes was a boy with golden hair, his skin very fair, carrying a backpack, looking particularly energetic.
The few people in the room seemed not surprised by the boy’s appearance; they just glanced at him and then went back to their own business.
Su Heng looked at everyone’s reactions and quickly guessed the boy’s identity.
Wave seemed to be in a good mood and took the initiative to greet the blond boy: « YO~ Little Ban. »
Little Ban smiled and waved: « YO~ »
Seeing that the others had no intention of responding, Little Ban took the initiative to walk over to Su Heng’s side, his face full of smiles: « Hello, Sleeping Miss, I’m your substitute jungler, Little Ban. »
Over here, Su Heng and Lao Yu had already entered the Ban & Pick phase. The girl casually banned a little fish champion, then turned around and replied, « Hello, Su Heng. »
As soon as the girl finished speaking, Lao Yu screamed exaggeratedly, « Miss, why did you ban my little fish?!!! I even specifically pre-selected the little fish!!! »
Su Heng’s hand trembled slightly, forcing herself to stay calm as she said, « I didn’t see it just now, pick another one. »
Lao Yu pouted, his eyes full of grievance, then decisively chose Yasuo.
Originally, Su Heng still felt a bit guilty, but now seeing Lao Yu’s clearly vengeful move of deliberately picking a support, she raised an eyebrow and chose the Sword Saint. Since he decided to let loose, she would play along, just treating it as hero practice.
Lao Yu gasped sharply, feeling the despair wash over him.
He looked drowsily at Wave, trying to make Wave sense his current regret.
Wave glanced at him sideways, too lazy to even raise an eyelid, a smirk curling at the corner of his mouth as he hummed a little tune.
It was as if saying, « Letting you not duo queue with me, forcing you to duo queue with a narcoleptic, serves you right! »
Xiaoban, who had watched the whole process, couldn’t help but chuckle. He paced over and sat at the computer on the far edge, then started a ranked game himself.
But in his heart, he still mourned for Lao Yu. He had long heard that this young lady was not someone to be underestimated, and now it truly seemed so.
In the end, Su Heng and Lao Yu still won the ranked game. When the word « Victory » appeared on the screen, Lao Yu’s gaze toward Su Heng could no longer be described as admiration; it was filled with full respect.
This woman… is just shameless!!!
Stealing his blue, stealing his own ADC’s red, and even trying to steal the enemy’s jungle.
Staying in the mid lane the whole time, the moment he showed a kill intent, Su Heng immediately appeared to steal the kill, fully embodying the true meaning of ruthlessness.
He won, but the victory was far from satisfying.
Su Heng was unusually delighted; besides being happy, she even developed a strong interest in playing the jungler role as the Sword Saint.
Old Yu shuddered at the enthusiasm radiating from Su Heng’s face. Fortunately, he was not her enemy.
After this game ended, Xiao Ban and a few others queued up for a five-man match, while Su Heng began her long journey of deepening her hero pool.
It wasn’t until training match time that Su Heng reluctantly shut down her computer and went to the team’s spare practice room, leaving the space for the five-player game.
*
At seven in the evening, Su Heng put on her mask and appeared in the live streaming room on time.
The room was already filled with many viewers who had come attracted by her reputation.
The moment Su Heng appeared on the screen, the barrage of comments flooded in.
【Here she comes!!】
【Just now we bet that those not wearing masks today in Sleeping can start transferring money】
【Take off the mask, take off the mask, take off the mask!!!】
The screen full of bullet comments overwhelmed Su Heng, and she couldn’t help but frown, remaining motionless for a long time.
But the bullet comments did not stop:
[Why aren’t you speaking? Are you mute?]
[Front row watching the first-ever female professional LOL player in history]
【Is the young lady at the GI base? I want to see LING, show me LING!!】
Su Heng carefully read through the comments without making a sound, then grabbed the mouse and clicked to start the game.
It took less than half a minute after entering the game interface for friend requests to flood in like snowflakes.
Su Heng didn’t even look, took out her phone and opened Weibo, typing word by word: « I want to fight ten people who are online, come solo. »
Those who knew about Su Heng’s Weibo post from last night got excited.
【What’s going on? Not joking? Really want to solo??】
【Feels like I missed out on a billion!! Is it still in time to leave a comment now?】
There are also people who don’t understand what’s going on.
【??? Right from the start, you want to solo with viewers? What do you mean by that?】
[Although I don’t know what happened, it looks like a good show.]
There are still some persistent people who want to see Zhou Lingxing.
[Show me LING, show me LING, show me LING!!!]
Su Heng waited for two minutes, but still didn’t see the figure of « I want to fight ten, » and her tone grew impatient: « There’s no one else at the base who can show you around right now. Is ‘I want to fight ten’ here? If not, I’ll move on to the next one. »
Another three minutes passed, and there was still no response.
Su Heng’s fingertips lightly slid across the screen, and she spoke again: « Zuo, it’s just a handsome guy, are you there? »
Except for the onlookers who enjoyed the drama and stirred up trouble, no one responded. Going through the names of more than a dozen people back and forth, yet no one dared to take up the challenge.
On the screen, Su Heng raised an eyebrow: « I said I don’t accept solo challenges. If you left your names but didn’t show up, that’s not my problem. Tomorrow is the last time, same time. If you know anyone, you can pass the message along. »
After a pause, she added, « My live streaming time is Monday to Friday, from 7 to 8 PM. » She glanced at the time in the bottom right corner of the screen, 7:25, and lied with her eyes wide open: « That’s about it for today, see you tomorrow. »
Before the viewers in the live room could react, the screen went black.
Their hearts were almost breaking—what the hell??
Just now they said one hour a day was already too little, and then only 25 minutes later they said time’s up??
I’ve only heard of streamers extending their streaming time, now there are even streamers forcibly giving themselves a break???
The more the viewers thought about it, the angrier they got. They rubbed their hands in anticipation and went to vent their anger on Su Heng’s Weibo, causing another storm of chaos.
And just now, after letting down tens of thousands of viewers, she became the target of widespread criticism, so she closed the live stream and started a ranked game.
Ignoring her teammates’ dissatisfaction, she instantly locked in Master Yi.
Putting on her headphones, the world had nothing to do with her.
Su Heng wasn’t deliberately avoiding the live stream; it was just that she had unfinished business weighing on her mind, and she had no mood for streaming.
Originally, she just wanted to mess around with Lao Yu, but after a duo queue game with him, she unexpectedly developed a strong interest in the hero Yasuo. Compared to Lee Sin and Rammus, who easily set the pace, she preferred Yasuo, a hero who could kill recklessly and directly.
Although she was assigned to the jungle position, Su Heng’s persistence in playing a damage role had already been evident when she initially asked Sun if she could play mid lane.
If she couldn’t play the game to her heart’s content, kill recklessly, and stir up the calm waters, how could she prove that she had been here and fought?
Having played games all day, Su Heng waited eagerly for the start, while You Ran was unaware of the passion shining in her eyes at that moment.
That was the passion she had once seen in Sun He’s eyes, the feeling she had never been able to understand before, and the sensation she wanted to comprehend.
The magic of time lies in the fact that you never know when you will come to like something you once thought you would never like in your lifetime.
