Chapter 7

In the school, this incident was entirely unknown to Lu Yao.

Their dilapidated residential building suddenly experienced another power outage, but Lu Yao had just received a gaming coaching task before the outage. Therefore, he had to go to an internet café nearby to continue working.

When Mr. and Mrs. Lu arrived at the internet café and found Lu Yao, he was deeply focused on playing a game.

It must be said that Mr. and Mrs. Lu's presence and demeanor, typical of successful people, were completely out of place in the small internet café.

The front desk staff initially thought they had come to the wrong place. When they learned that they were looking for Lu Yao, they were even more puzzled, wondering how Lu Yao knew such people.

The front desk staff directed Mr. and Mrs. Lu to Lu Yao's area and told them to find him themselves.

The staff shouted towards Lu Yao, "Lu Yao, someone is looking for you."

When Lu Yao looked up and saw the two people approaching, he inexplicably felt a sense of being caught by his parents.

Distracted by this, he accidentally gave away a kill to the opponent.

In the game's chat window, Lu Yao's teammates were furious about his sudden disconnection, bombarding him with complaints for giving away kills.

However, Lu Yao ignored their messages, greeted Mr. and Mrs. Lu, settled them on a sofa behind him, and then returned to his game. He couldn't afford to lose; otherwise, he wouldn't receive the payment for the coaching task.

Feeling their gaze on his back, Lu Yao felt uneasy. People of their status might think that playing such games was a waste of time.

Contrary to Lu Yao's guess, Mrs. Li and Mr. Lu were quite engrossed in watching Lu Yao's computer screen.

The young man's eyes were intensely focused on the screen, his pale fingers rapidly tapping on the black keyboard, with frequent prompts of double kills and triple kills appearing in the game.

Even though Mr. and Mrs. Lu were not familiar with games, they could tell from the continuous game notifications that Lu Yao's gaming skills were impressive.

Mrs. Li glanced at Lu Yao's delicate profile and leaned closer to Mr. Lu, asking in a low voice, "If he wants to pursue a career in esports in the future, would you treat him the way you did with Lu Shenyuan?"

Mr. Lu gave Mrs. Li a helpless look.

Just when Mrs. Li thought he wouldn't answer her sudden question, Mr. Lu spoke up, "I would be reluctant."

Lu Shenyuan is Mr. Lu's cousin, twenty-three years old, with nearly a twenty-year age gap between him and Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu's second uncle moved to England when he was young and established his business there.

Lu Shenyuan was a late child for Lu's old man, so he was spoiled and cherished.

When Lu Shenyuan graduated from university at eighteen and announced that he wanted to pursue a career in esports, Lu's old man was furious and chased Lu Shenyuan around with his cane. He had hoped Lu Shenyuan would take over his business, but Lu Shenyuan wanted to play games instead.

In his anger, Lu's old man expelled the penniless Lu Shenyuan from home and warned all major gaming clubs in England not to hire him, or they would face consequences.

Forced into a corner, Lu Shenyuan remembered he had Mr. Lu as a relative in China and flew back to China.

Lu Shenyuan's debut was a peak, winning the global championship in the first year with his team in the Honor of Heroes competition. It was China's first world champion in this esports event, and Lu Shenyuan became a legendary figure known as the number one ADC in the world.
