Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ai Ke had personally handled Xiao Bei’s case. Now that he knew what had truly conspired, he had felt uneasy and had gone to report his findings to the higher-ups.

After hearing what the other had to say, Luocheng was absolutely speechless.

Their case... they finally had closure, Luocheng was ecstatic beyond belief!

After getting off the phone, Meiqi saw the glint in Luocheng’s eyes, and so, she asked him what had happened.

Luocheng told her what had happened and suddenly, Meiqi was wiping the corners of her eyes as well...

Everything they had been through, they finally had firm ground to stand on, and the sly, evil dog that was Xu Pingyang was going to get the retribution he deserved!!!

***

On the other end, Ai Ke hung up the phone in his office and passed Luocheng’s bank account number to his assistant.”

“Boss, we shouldn’t be the ones bearing this responsibility. After all, we were just following company policies,” the assistant said.

Ai Ke gave his assistant a look, not replying further.

Sometimes, not everything could be done according to the rules. Continuing on like that would only create a cold battlefield filled with deceit, cheaters, and betrayal, things like that could never last...

***

The competition organizers worked with incredible efficiency, and just a few days later, they released a public apology and repaid Team Skycrown all the money that Ai Ke had previously mentioned.

As figures in the public eye, reporters swarmed over to Team Skycrown after the official statement, asking them how they would use their huge sum of 350,000 RMB.

The people had expected them to say something about how they would use this money to improve their team’s financial situation, but as the representative of Team Skycrown, Jian Feng told the media something very different.

“I’ve gone to Xiao Bei’s hometown before to help him create his ID card. The area was ridden with poverty, so 100% of this money will be donated to Xiao Bei’s village.”

Team Skycrown had no use for the money anyway, but they hadn’t expected this news to receive such high praise from the netizens.

A champion team required more than just their skills recognized, their qualities as people also had to be recognized as well, and Team Skycrown found themselves with a massive influx of new supporters!

“Then, what do you guys have planned for the future??” The media asked once again.

“We’ve already made our decision and our goal isn’t the LPL champion spot...”

Jian Feng didn’t elaborate, leaving the media and viewers alike waiting for their next move.

Because their conquest wasn’t going to end at just the LPL champion! There were still many more important competitions waiting for their arrival!!

“Congratulations. I’ll do as I said and give the spot to you over at the sports administrative center. However, you might not have too much time to rest. As you know, e-sports competitions like these aren’t going to be just about League, I hope you’ll take some time to warm yourself up on the other games that you’ve won in the past,” Number One, Xie Lianda, told Luocheng through the phone.

“Yeah, I know. I’ll play a couple other games in my spare time,” Luocheng replied.

“But you shouldn’t have to worry too much either, other games will be handled by other players, you’ll just have to perform well in League. Also, if you want to get into international competitions, you should get a new ID since the people over at the General Administration of Sports had wanted you to overlook that section...” Xie Lianda said.

“Yeah, I know. I’d already retired then.” Luocheng nodded to no one in particular.

“Most importantly, you were still under Sky Club back when you were using your Fighting Hawk ID but now Sky Club isn’t doing too well. This is pretty bad news for a careful Sports Administration, but mainly, other departments will look into it a lot, so we can avoid any unnecessary hassle by going under a different ID and purely participate as the leader of the LPL champion team,” Lianda continued.

Luocheng had thought so too.

With Sky Club facing such major legal trouble, their club’s reputation in the e-sports scene was definitely going to be taken back by the International E-sports Federation; his Fighting Hawk ID didn’t really have any backing anymore.

Luocheng himself wasn’t planning on “reliving his glory days” either so to speak, after all, he wasn’t his past self anymore, and his team wasn’t his old team.

They had the once-in-a-lifetime chance to participate in the Asian Indoor Games, Luocheng wasn’t going to fuss over an ID, let’s just listen to the professionals!

“Okay, whenever you have time, we should go to the Sports Administration.” Lianda had said what he had to say, he was going to the General Administration of Sports to do some follow-up business.

After listening to Lianda, Luocheng was reminded of something important that he still had to do.

If he remembered correctly, Shallow Dream had told him that after he got first place in the LPL, he might be able to do something at the Sports Administration!

Could she have been talking about the Asian Indoor Games.

***

The S International League was held during September and October, before then, Team Skycrown was going to participate in various smaller competitions to train themselves up.

Other than his usual training games, Luocheng was planning on entering the Asian Indoor Games that were held in Singapore in July.

Luocheng hoped his trip to Beijing would be successful...

He wasn’t too familiar with the city, and so, Xie Lianda was the one who brought him to the General Administration of Sports.

There were a lot of departments within the Sports Administration and they were all connected to the Sports Association in some way, like football and basketball, these giants had immeasurable media turnouts whenever they had a competition.

Luocheng got to thinking, what if the sports channel CCTV-5 aired a LoL competition and they were showing his Team Skycrown, that would be sick!

Entering a government agency, Luocheng did feel a bit like a fish out of water as he hadn’t had any connections to any of the people there.

When he was still young and naive, he had never thought about what these government ‘Departments’ and ‘Administrations’ even did, it felt like without them, their China would still be functioning as per normal. However, now that he was actually having to deal with these sectors, the Sports Administration felt like a huge, oppressive mountain, while e-sports was just a small mound of dirt that hadn’t even been recognized yet, and he was just one of a couple hundreds of thousands of the people struggling to survive on this mound.

Who was managing all these associations, who decided whether or not e-sports had the ability to create an association, who was in charge of the Asian Indoor Games, and who was in charge of the name lists and how many spots...

Luocheng hadn’t the slightest clue.

It was obvious that Lianda wasn’t a frequent visitor of this place, upon entering the main hall, they went to look at the directory, not knowing exactly where to go.

“The Administrative Center of Winter Sports, the Administrative Center of Water Sports, the Administrative Center of Judo Wrestling and Weightlifting, the Administrative Center of Boxing and Taekwondo, the Administrative Center of Track Sports, the Administrative Center of Swimming, the Administrative Center of Baseball, the Administrative Center of Archery, the Administrative Center of Football, the Administrative Center of Basketball, the Administrative Center of Volleyball, the Administrative Center of Ping-Pong, the Administrative Center of Ball Sports, the Administrative Center of Manless Flying Models, the Administrative Center of Chess, the Administrative Center of Wushu, the Administrative Center of Qi Gong, the Administrative Center of Hiking, the Administrative Center of Motorsports...”

Among the mass selection of Administrative Centers, Luocheng painstakingly scanned every last one of them.

He kept searching, searching for the Administrative Center of E-sports...

But even after he had gotten to the very last row, his “Administrative Center of E-sports” was still nowhere to be found.

Now Luocheng was upset, what kind of bullsh*t was this, even Qi Gong had an administrative center, so why didn’t e-sports, a world-wide phenomenon with several billions of f*cking people allowed an administrative center!!!

“Hi, I’m a contestant in the Asian Indoor games, I just wanted to ask, I don’t think my health will allow me to compete in the near future and I’d like to recommend another contestant to replace me in the competition, who should I go to?” Xie Lianda found one of the workers and decided to ask him.

The worker was halfway through a cigarette, typing away at something on his phone.

He was still quite young, probably around the same age as Lianda and Luocheng, a fresh grad from university that was able to get into government work.

“Oh, a contestant... couldn’t you just go find the person in charge of your competition? If you don’t know how to get there, just ask one of the guards,” said the young man wearing a flower-print dress shirt.

“Um... well, you see... we’re competing in e-sports, and e-sports doesn’t have its own administrative center...” Xie Lianda said quietly.

The young man thought it over, scanning Lianda and Luocheng from head to toe.

Then, an older woman next to them pushed up her glasses and muttered, “Does the Asian Indoor Games even have e-sports? Are you sure you didn’t remember it wrongly?”

“They do, we’ve confirmed it with the bureau,” Lianda raised his voice a little, getting agitated as well.

“Oh, I’ll go ask. Hey, Xiao Ting, who’s managing the Asian Indoor Games in July? And who’s in charge of the e-sports sector?” the old lady asked.

“Let me think... I think it’s the people over at the Administrative Center of Chess, go ask them.” The girl named Xiao Ting replied.

“Oh, oh. Kid, go to the Chess Center and ask Mr. Zhao.”

***

The two of them left the office and Luocheng couldn’t hold it in any longer.

“Does e-sports not have its own person in charge?”

“There probably is, but there’s no specialized administrative center for them in the Sports Administration, meaning there’s nobody who’s officially in charge. Let’s just go ask the Chess Center for now,” Lianda said.

“So who’s managing that?”

“They most likely don’t know themselves...”

All Luocheng could do was give a bitter laugh.
