Coach Abu, can you V me 50?

The next day, Chu Ran woke up early, washed up, and then hailed a taxi. He told the driver to go to Lingshi Road, and in less than a moment, Chu Ran arrived at the entrance of the EDG base.

The moment the EDG receptionist saw Chu Ran, her eyes cleared up considerably, and she quickly led Chu Ran to meet Abu.

As expected, as soon as Abu spoke, a very delicate voice, like a woman's, echoed.

"Hello, are you player Easy? I am EDG's head coach, Ji Xing, but everyone calls me Abu."

"I know, it's pretty cool to die, Coach Abu."

Abu's expression suddenly turned serious. In that instant, he felt an offensive aura, but seeing Chu Ran pat his head and flash a dazzling white smile, he thought he must have misheard.

"Thank you for the compliment. You have good taste, and you're quite handsome. Without further ado, let's start the tryout. You're a professional player, so you know what needs to be tested."

Chu Ran nodded.

Immediately, Abu led Chu Ran directly to the training room, pushed open the door, and clapped his hands to get everyone's attention.

"You should all know these people, so I won't introduce them one by one."

"Everyone, stop for a moment. This is our top laner for today's tryout, Chu Ran. He's eighteen this year, a handsome young man."

Instantly, Meiko and the others applauded politely. Deft and Pawn watched Chu Ran with considerable interest.

They had seen Chu Ran's highlight reels recently and were quite impressed with his skills.

Scout glanced at Chu Ran with a defiant expression and didn't say much.

However, Mouse, who had been slumped in his chair, suddenly stiffened, his gaze a little lost.

What? I was doing fine as the starting top laner, why are you suddenly bringing in a new top laner for a tryout?

Tong Yang, who was getting water by the water cooler, also looked completely taken aback. He didn't even notice the water overflowing from his cup and felt a bit annoyed.

Ming Kai had also told him about Abu looking for a new top laner.

He originally thought he still had a chance. After all, he was an old member of EDG. He had bled for EDG, he had contributed to EDG!

Even though he had crippled himself, he didn't think he was worse than Chu Ran.

Why should Chu Ran be the top laner for EDG? If Chu Ran stayed with EDG, his competitive pressure would only increase.

Just having Mouse, a "Great Tree" main, was already difficult enough.

And now another 'Number One Sword on the National Server' is coming.

When this matter hadn't been finalized, Tong Yang thought he still had a chance. Now, it seemed he had no chance at all. He had been abandoned by EDG.

"I'm not convinced!"

Tong Yang shouted his unwillingness in his heart.

And finally, there was Ming Kai, as he was the only one not applauding, not even bothering to pretend.

He sat in his chair with a "big brother" demeanor, his dead fish eyes very prominent.

It was obvious that Ming Kai was not happy.

Chu Ran also keenly observed this. He just rolled his eyes and smiled at Ming Kai, guessing most of Ming Kai's thoughts.

But it was okay.

You ignore me now, but tomorrow I'll be so good you won't be able to reach me.

Chu Ran looked forward to the day when "Waste Kai" would call him "godfather."

"Little Chu, sit in this position, get familiar with the equipment, and then prepare for the tryout."

Chu Ran nodded slightly. Under the gaze of everyone at EDG, he first underwent trials for his reaction time, last hitting, and other basic abilities.

Then came the most important part: team synergy and assessing his practical combat ability.

"Yuan Shuo, He Kui, Zhi Ming, you guys team up with the second team's support and Xiao Ran. Then, Xiao Zhao, you team up with Scout, Ming Kai, Tian Ye, and... Mouse."

As soon as Abu finished speaking, Ming Kai suddenly spoke up, "Why not let Tong Yang play?"

Mouse was stunned.

Abu's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Tong Yang. He knew Ming Kai's intentions.

Perfect, this will also put an end to Ming Kai's idea.

If Chu Ran couldn't even beat Tong Yang, then EDG wouldn't need to keep him.

Instantly, the atmosphere became heavy. Mouse broke the silence, "Tong Yang playing is fine too. I'm a bit tired anyway, haha~"

Chu Ran maintained a smile and met Tong Yang's gaze as he slowly walked over. They nodded at each other, acknowledging the greeting.

Ming Kai has a lot of influence.

Chu Ran understood everything. He knew that if he didn't win against Tong Yang, he would most likely not be able to stay with EDG.

At this moment, Deft walked up to Chu Ran, a smile on his face. "Don't be nervous, it's just a tryout."

"I'm not nervous, thank you."

"I'm rooting for you, good luck."

After Deft finished speaking, Pawn also gave Chu Ran a thumbs-up.

Chu Ran smiled and nodded. He didn't know much about Pawn, only that he was very strong. If it weren't for his back injury, he probably wouldn't have fallen into obscurity.

As for Deft, Chu Ran knew a lot more.

Four words!

The Demon of Esports.

He got along well with everyone and was very loyal. He was the one who pioneered the concept of "brotherhood in esports."

At this moment, Abu also came up behind Chu Ran and patted his shoulder. "Don't be too nervous. It's just a tryout. Treat it like a normal public match. If you have any requests, feel free to ask, like needing a new mouse or keyboard."

"Any requests are fine?" Chu Ran's eyes lit up.

Abu nodded heavily and said, "We'll try our best to fulfill any reasonable requests."

"Then Coach Abu, can you V me 50 yuan?"

Pfft!

For a moment, everyone in the EDG training room was stunned. Ming Kai, who had just taken a sip of water, sprayed it out in a large mouthful.

What a character!

Even though Ming Kai was a little unhappy that Chu Ran had taken Tong Yang's opportunity, he had to admit that Chu Ran was a talent.

Who the hell asks a coach for 50 yuan during a tryout?

"Amazing."

Mouse exclaimed inwardly as he witnessed this.

He thought that either Chu Ran had a screw loose, or he lacked confidence in himself, believing he wouldn't pass the tryout and was asking Abu for 50 yuan to cover his travel expenses.

But it made sense. Tong Yang was a strong top laner, so it was understandable not to have confidence. Even Mouse didn't think he could gain an advantage against Tong Yang in lane.

Abu's expression changed infinitely at that moment, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at Chu Ran.

Seriously?

You're not here for a tryout, you're here to scam us!

50 yuan is still money!

"You can't do it? Coach Abu, you just said you'd try your best to..."

"Stop, I'll give it to you. What's your WeChat?"

Abu quickly interrupted Chu Ran, his mind racing with complaints.

[Red Temperature Value +51]

A moment later, Chu Ran felt a surge of powerful energy. Although he could trigger Brother Ale's Blessing by V-ing himself 50 yuan on his alternate account, why wouldn't he take advantage of someone else's generosity?

"Alright, thank you, Coach Abu."

Chu Ran picked up his headphones with his left hand and put them on smoothly, his eyes becoming sharp.

"I'm going to get serious now. Come on, let me see how strong EDG's carry is, and whether Invincible Tong is still as sharp as he used to be."
