How about trying out for Tianlu Youth Training?

Chapter 19: 259: How About... Trying Out for Tianlu Youth Training?

Su Zhe looked at the 13-16 scoreboard and couldn't help but take a deep breath to adjust his sense of defeat.

One game had shown him what the true skill level of a professional player was, or more accurately, a former professional.

Once Danking found his rhythm, Su Zhe's crosshair placement became a joke. The kill efficiency of both sides was simply not on the same level.

Although they had an advantage in the score early on, it was quickly chased back by Danking's lead. Ultimately, they lost the match when it went into overtime.

Su Zhe glanced at the bullet screen in his live room and found that it wasn't filled with the expected sarcastic remarks.

[The streamer really did their best. Playing like this after hundreds of hours of game time is already amazing.]

[What a shame. Danking is just too fierce. And if their teammate hadn't been killed so early in the last round, they actually had a chance to win.]

[idan has arrived! Everyone get out of the way! Holy crap! What a blinding live room!]

[Your performance was decent. Maybe you really have the potential to play professionally.]

[Hurry up and add Tie Dan as a friend! You can also ride the wave of traffic!]

"Semper" and "Niko" also reacted to the bullet screen in the live room and quickly urged "Zai Wu" to add Danking as a friend.

Su Zhe was a bit reluctant: "Why should I add them? I don't even know them..."

The strong and sturdy Fat Brother snatched Su Zhe's mouse: "Aiya~ You don't understand!" With that, he controlled the mouse and clicked on [Monkey King]'s ID on the settlement panel to add him as a friend.

Danking, seeing the bullet screen scrolling with mentions of this [Cape's Number One Breakthrough Player], became quite interested and started searching.

After understanding the whole story, he commented:

"This young man is pretty good! He went from C+ to S in just over a month. Looking at this rank, he's almost Gold S. To be honest, he's playing quite well."

Danking's assessment was fair. Although in his opinion, the fundamentals were still far from perfect, and besides fast reactions, everything else needed improvement, it also depended on the circumstances!

To reach this level in just over a month was indeed commendable.

"Oh, this guy even proactively added me as a friend." Danking looked at the perfect friend request list and clicked accept.

With his high emotional intelligence, he typed first: "Brother, you're awesome! I almost lost!"

Su Zhe, still feeling a bit down after the painful loss, simply replied: "Not good enough. Far from you."

Danking found this straightforward answer amusing. Of course, he was far better; he was a legitimate starting sniper for Tianlu just five or six months ago, and his game time had already exceeded ten thousand hours. There was no comparison between them.

He then replied: "I heard you want to play professionally?"

"Yes."

After receiving an affirmative reply, Danking immediately picked up his phone, searched for a moment, and then spoke into the microphone in his live stream:

"Yo? K4Mi? Are you guys still recruiting in the youth training program? I've got a talent here, see if he's good enough."

"Have you heard of the ID [Cape's Number One Breakthrough Player]? Huh? You proactively added him and he blacklisted you?"

Danking was just trying to create some show effect, and recommending someone was just a casual thing to do.

He didn't expect the show effect to actually happen! The person had already been paying attention, but got blacklisted!

To ensure it was real, he even showed the call screen to the viewers in his live stream.

Then he typed in his friend list and asked: "Bro, have you blacklisted anyone in the game recently..."

Su Zhe recalled and brought up his Perfect World Platform blacklist.

The viewers in Su Zhe's own live stream burst into laughter. Lying on the list was none other than Tianlu's coach K4Mi.

And another professional player known to everyone in the country: Tianlu's legendary commander 259...

[Hahahaha, is this intentional show effect?]

[Successfully knocked on the door, I will successfully refuse entry.]

[No man, how could you blacklist Tianlu's coach and 259?]

[He's truly a born streaming prodigy! Streamer, listen to my advice, don't go pro, streaming is pretty good for making money.]

"Yeah! How did you blacklist them?" Fat Brother also asked curiously.

Su Zhe scratched his head and explained: "Didn't you say that anyone who proactively adds you to talk about teams is a scammer? A few days ago, someone added me, saying he was Tianlu's coach or something, so I blacklisted him."

"A while later, someone else proactively added me, saying he was Tianlu's captain or something, so I blacklisted him too..."

He had completely misunderstood Leon Kai's meaning at the time, thinking that only Diamond S players with good stats could meet the threshold for youth training.

He didn't expect that after he became a little popular online, they would have proactively paid attention to him long ago.

After all, many people knew that he had a sudden realization and also had the idea of becoming a professional player.

When Su Zhe blacklisted the two, he just felt that since he wasn't even Gold S yet, how could they proactively approach him, resulting in this misunderstanding.

Tianlu Esports Club.

Almost all the young players in the team would open Danking's live stream in their spare time.

On one hand, they were seniors who had recently become "unemployed," and on the other hand, they were great for live stream show effects.

Normally, the pressure from training was high, so they naturally wanted to find some fun in their leisure time. Watching Danking's live stream had become their main form of entertainment.

Kaze, laughing heartily while watching the live stream, shouted to 259, who was sitting beside him reviewing a demo: "Captain! Did you really proactively add someone's ID on the Perfect World Platform a couple of days ago and get blacklisted?"

259 frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "It was the day before yesterday afternoon. K4Mi said he was blacklisted and asked me to help add them to ask what was going on. As soon as I added them and said one sentence, I was also added to the blacklist."

Kaze could no longer hold back his laughter. He clutched his stomach and giggled, and after two minutes, he recovered and recounted what he had seen in the live stream to 259:

"Hahaha, I'm really dying of laughter. They thought you two were scammers who specialized in tricking people for their inventory, unwilling to part with their Veteran Redline worth a hundred yuan, hahaha! But they've already let you two out, you can go talk to them now."

After hearing the reason, 259's face was covered in black lines. Although he didn't look like a good person, being mistaken for a scammer was too much. His own inventory was almost enough to buy a house in a Third and Fourth Tier City.

So, he waved his hand and refused: "Let K4Mi ask tomorrow himself. It was his business anyway."

"Oh come on! It's just one sentence! It'll only take a few minutes," KAZE urged.

On the surface, he was concerned about the team's youth training reserves, but in reality, he really wanted to see the live stream's show effect.

Unable to resist the urging, 259 casually opened the Perfect World Platform, typed a sentence, and sent it.

"Little Brother, if you're interested in our team, you can come and try out for our youth training."
