As Qi Ji's hand slowly recovered, the team's training went much smoother.
As the game approaches, Qin Jue, Qi Ji and Chu Lianhe stay late almost every day. Even if the coach tells them to combine work and rest, it has no effect. Sometimes Shen Ye wakes up in the morning and even sees another person. The bed was empty, no one had slept there.
"I'm still too young to know that a man's body is also precious." Shen Ye couldn't help but sigh, "I think I also went from being so energetic and receiving seven or eight guests every night to needing seven or eight hot water bottles every night to fall asleep."
No one knows where they come from so much effort. They can still be active in the training room after staying up all night several times. Especially Qin Jue and Chu Lianhe. After dinner, they are still interested in squatting next to the sofa and secretly exchanging pictures on their mobile phones— That was probably the only moment of relaxation in the training room. Qin Jue would get angry and say, "Send me the original picture and I want the original picture." Chu Lianhe was very puzzled, "I'll be more handsome after I posted it, so I'll send you the one I've posted." , Every time Shen Ye wonders what the two of them are doing, in the blink of an eye he can see Qi Ji's face flushed, as if he is extremely ashamed.
It turned out that the two of them were squatting like street gangsters and exchanging photos of Qi Ji. In this regard, Qi Ji could only ask them in a very low voice not to discuss him, and often returned without success in frustration.
"Ahem." So Shen Ye didn't bother to find out how Qin Jue and Chu Lianhe got on the same front. He just told Qi Ji, "Is your hand okay? The one who went with the team to Paris this time is Dr. Meng. If there is anything You can tell him if you feel uncomfortable."
"Um."
Qi Ji nodded again and again. Until the whole team prepared and headed to Hongqiao Airport, he seemed to be very sure that the remaining pain in his skin did not have any impact on his operations.

When a team of people left Shanghai, it was the brightest day in May.
—While glaring at the Shadow Hunters on the same plane, they boarded the plane and headed to Europe.
There, it is also the place with the most brilliant achievements in the history of FPS games.
From FPS games such as CS and COD to the current chicken fighting, there has never been a period when Chinese FPS can compete with the European competition. Looking at the history of more than 10 years, the few shining points seem to be Shen Ye, Cui Xuezhi and Wen Rong.
This time the two domestic teams are going on an expedition to Europe. Unlike other games, there are no expedition ceremonies and visible publicity. It is like embarking on a new round of land reclamation.
So before taking off, Shen Ye leaned back in his chair and couldn't help but think of the other game divisions of the same team - whenever they go out to play games, there will always be countless crowds and official publicity: "Damn, LOL's monologue gives me back my fans Well, I really can’t wait to see you."
"Hey, are you starting to feel sour?" Cui Xuezhi smiled and looked at the young people on the other side, "... So when is Captain Shen going to pour a wave of chicken soup and ask them to help China create a new history for FPS?"
Naturally, Shen Ye had already prepared the speech in his heart. However, seeing Qin Jue's surprised face after the plane entered the clouds, Shen Ye still felt soft. He closed his eyes and covered his face to rest: "... let's talk about it later. , Father’s love is like a mountain, and I don’t want to put too much pressure on my sons.”
Dusk gradually fell, and the steaming clouds and rosy clouds outside the window obviously attracted the attention of Qin Jue on the other side. However, he had not been excited for a long time when a turbulent air flow made him lift his Adam's apple and the muscles all over his body began to tighten.
So it can be seen that this must be his first time flying - although it is not to the extent of airsickness, he is still somewhat nervous.
Most of the people on the plane had rested, but he was the only one who was still joking in order to cover up, "When are we going to parachute and shoot?" Chu Lianhe in the back row was keenly aware of his nervousness, so he couldn't help but want to remind Qi Ji to comfort him. Yan Shen - However, at this moment Qi Ji leaned over and said, "Senior, how about we jump to P City now? I'm so afraid of flying. Is it still more than 10 hours before we arrive?"
This scene made Chu Lianhe stunned, and a barrage flashed through his mind: "No, no, no, this is not my main attack flower god", but Qi Ji still sent his whole head over and leaned pitifully on Qin Jue's arm.
Chu Lianhe was caught off guard, and Qin Jue quickly looked sympathetic, lowered his head and rubbed Qi Ji's head, and then started to counter the thoughts of the CP fan in the back row - along the way, it was Qin Jue who was gently criticizing Qi Ji. "What's so silly about this?" He chatted again to distract him, and even fed him two meals with his own hands, which made Chu Lianhe suspect for a while that he might be on the wrong side.
But before he could decide how to separate the attack and the attack, the plane gradually passed through the night and landed at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.
***
Unfamiliar colors appeared in front of everyone. The team leader asked everyone not to get separated while confirming the hotel address again. Among the entire team, only Qin Jue was still concerned about whether Qi Ji's legs would be weak when walking, so Cui Xuezhi couldn't stand it anymore. : "My Yanshen~are you stupid?"
Qin Jue couldn't help but raise his head full of questions. Cui Xuezhi laughed even harder and continued: "Do you think... Xiao Qi went to the United States when she was a child and swam across the Pacific Ocean?"
Hearing what he said, Qin Jue suddenly reacted, but at this time Qi Ji had already let go and ran out for several steps without changing his expression: "... I saw that senior was a little nervous but didn't want to say anything, so I wanted to divert senior's attention. Powerful."
"You-" So the more Qin Jue recalled the sticky scenes on the plane, the more he wanted to pick up his S686 and shoot him. In the crowd of people in a strange country, the two started fighting together again, and it seemed that it was no different from when they were at home. .
So the coach and manager looked at each other, smiled, and breathed a sigh of relief—after all, before going abroad, what they were most worried about among the four team members was Qin Jue's mental state, but now it seems that as long as Qi Ji is here, they don't have to worry so much. .
Of course, Chu Lianhe's doubts about life ended abruptly: ...Flower God nbnb, Yanshen is so shy in front of you that there is no need to discuss.

This time TIPC chose Paris, France as the competition venue. This is a romantic city known to people all over the world. It is like a girl who is still young but already exudes thousands of charms. Even if she looks back, she can easily be shocked. The soul of a young man.
"So when I came here eight years ago, I thought this place was suitable for kissing and having sex." When staying at the hotel, Shen Ye was still muttering, "What a pity, after so long, my fucking membranes will grow back." ”
A group of people were laughing and joking, and quickly completed the formalities. However, compared to the bustle of the IS team, the Shadowhunting team heading to Paris together seemed a bit quiet.
"Xingzhou." At the front desk of the hotel, Shen Ye and Cui Xuezhi took the initiative to greet the young people, "Which floor do you live on?"
Qi Xingzhou, who is also a well-known autistic player, paused for a moment, and after answering the 16th floor, he took the team members to rest. Seeing that he was not enthusiastic, Qin Jue was somewhat unhappy: "The last time I came to see Cui Shen... He didn't settle the score with them, so why does he still look so bitter and resentful?"
"He was deceived by some management and misunderstood the situation. I heard that those two people did not come with the team this time. They are probably not far away from being kicked out. Forget it, you players are too naive. If he doesn't care Cui Shen, that's not the case." Manager Cheng looked at the figure from behind and raised his eyebrows at Liu Ze, "Old Liu, why don't you come and give us some knowledge on why Yan Shen is so worried?"
In the elevator going up, Yanagisawa also explained the current situation to the team members: "As a dark horse, Hunter Shadow 'stole' the quotas for the SE team and the Awakening team. If they don't perform well, they will definitely be sprayed to death. The pressure is definitely not less than ours - when we were in China, other teams sacrificed their rest time to help our two teams train, so now that we are abroad, we must help each other if we can - at least during this period, you can't attack Hunter Shadow There’s hostility, do you understand?”
Qin Jue seemed to understand, but still unreasonably asked Cui Xuezhi three times to confirm "Which fan Cui Shen likes the most?" After getting Cui Xuezhi's answer of "I like you the most", Qin Jue reluctantly let Qi Xingzhou go this time and obeyed the arrangement. I had more interactions with the Shadow Hunting Team.
In the next three days, players from all over the world gathered in the same hotel under the arrangement of the organizer.
Qin Jue had never experienced such a scene, so he was naturally a bit hostile and ambitious to fight opponents of different skin colors and nationalities. But in fact, most of the players were surprisingly friendly to him, and some European and American players were even more friendly upon seeing him. He came over to shake hands and hug him - according to the translation, his experience is the favorite script of Europeans and Americans. From the players to the audience, he is highly recognized. Many people can't wait to experience the power of the humanoid hanging. .
So when there were only two days left before the competition, most of the contestants had already met each other, but they had to except the legendary demon king DEMON.
The opponent's KOG team is very close to Paris, but they finally arrived at the hotel. However, this does not affect the fact that they have received the most coverage from various e-sports media - obviously they are already the biggest focus before the game starts.
In the European qualifiers, they had no trouble qualifying. Everyone is curious about their current strength limit. After all, DEMON revealed to the media as usual: I don't think there are any opponents for us on the earth.
—Countdown to the game, one day.
In the restaurant of the hotel, the people had almost dispersed. Only a few members of the IS team stayed, still trying to open the bottle cap of Lao Ganma sauce that was stuck. At this moment, the brown-haired and blue-eyed Demon King DEMON appeared. He broke into their field of vision and took something as if he wanted to make a late night snack.
At that moment, the lights in the restaurant were as bright as day, allowing DEMON and Shen Ye to meet again.
Therefore, as if the moment they noticed each other's presence, Qin Jue felt Shen Ye straighten his back and frown, and DEMON also cast an understated gaze.
The surroundings were quiet for a few seconds. Qin Jue immediately wanted to use his intimidating momentum and height that was not inferior to Europeans and Americans to help Shen Ye stare back, but DEMON withdrew his gaze and started fighting with another player who came in at this time. A hello.
"Hey, Sarang." He smiled, with healthy white teeth, and his eyes stared playfully at the person in front of him—Sarang, the only female professional player in the arena.
The female contestant had long, straight black hair and upturned eyes that looked extremely sharp. She seemed unwilling to talk to him. Under the light, they didn't know what they were talking about. Just when she wanted to turn around and leave, DEMON moved a step and blocked her.
Qin Jue looked at this scene, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and based on his remaining high school English knowledge, he pieced together that DEMON was asking the girl in front of him why she hadn't left the men's arena yet - so Qin Jue couldn't help being surprised. With a rush to his head, he immediately stood up and wanted to say something. Qi Ji beside him also frowned and went over to protect Sarang behind him.
DEMON's sea-blue eyes were startled, and he didn't seem to notice where they came from, but when he immediately remembered that they were Luo Ye's two new teammates, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his pronunciation changed. Started to say one word at a time: "who-are-you?" (Who are you?)
"You don't need to know, And I think you should be more gentlemanly." (You don't need to know who we are, but I think you should be more gentlemanly.)
Qi Ji's eyes are as cold as the cold moon in a cold spring, and his accent sounds like a pure American pronunciation - this probably intensified DEMON's hostility, making his expression more like a smile than a smile: "You are a gay, aren't you? So? why you support this girl now?” (You are not gay, why do you support a girl?)
Qin Jue only understood three or five words, but he already understood what the guy in front of him meant - probably in the eyes of the other person, having the triple identities of being white, male, and heterosexual was enough to make him superior to the whole world.
… It’s a little baffling.
Qin Jue clenched his fists and began to think quickly about how to show that he knew Wing Chun in a domineering yet elegant manner so as to scare off the opponent.
But at this time, Qi Ji didn't know what he said with a sneer. Soon, DEMON narrowed his eyes and looked at him with interest, which obviously meant "I remember you two."
Then, DEMON left a harsh "see you in the match" and turned around to leave.
The unique and alluring aroma of the exotic food was still spreading around. Looking at the familiar figure walking away, Shen Ye couldn't help but his eyes darkened: "... This bastard has really not changed at all."
"You behave as an orphan and you bully women. There are too many people in the family and you can't give them away?" Qin Jue cursed a few words and didn't forget to praise Qi Ji, "Xiao Qi is so handsome. What did you say to him?"
But Qi Ji just sat back and pressed the injury on his arm secretly: "It's nothing, I just asked him if he believes we are aliens."
