Of course, Luocheng was not going to waste his time playing another game with them.
But they soon found out that Team Demolition was more persistent than they had thought in the days after that.
This team, after being utterly defeated by Luocheng and his team, waited for them in the café every day. They did not stop babbling about having another private game until the fifth day, when Team Birdie finally went against Team Demolition’s long-time nemesis, Team Buttpain.
It was easy to tell the cultural level of this team judging by their “glamorous” name.
As usual, Team Skycrown staged an unorthodox formation, such as a Mid Ahri and a Support Anivia.
When Team Demolition witnessed their strongest rival, Team Buttpain, being dismantled effortlessly by the illogical lineup, the five of them finally came to a realization. Team Birdie was not just any ordinary team at the provincial level, no, this team was without a doubt stronger than any other team they had played against before.
As a result, none of them dared to mention the rematch from that point onward, instead, they began to obediently watch from beside them while pleading for guidance.

“Luocheng, try this. It’s the best cappuccino in town.” Xu Ben approached Luocheng with a fawning smile.
Luocheng and his team were sitting leisurely in front of their computers while waiting for the next match.
Speaking of which, playing LOL in this café was extremely enjoyable. Firstly, the internet speed and hardware here were exceptional. The glass window faced the busy road directly, which created an oddly harmonized environment, and above all, the café waitresses were all pretty girls wearing maid costumes.
Team Skycrown had never experienced such luxurious treatment.
Luocheng accepted the coffee and drank it graciously. ‘Yuck, it tastes like isatis root extract.’
Seeing Luocheng had drunk the coffee that he served, Xu Ben immediately smiled while rubbing his hands. “Bro, can you teach me how to use Anivia as a Support? Your placement of the ice wall was unreal. That was the first time I’ve seen someone so good at using Anivia as a Support!”
“I was just meme-ing. That champion is flawed to be used as a Support to begin with,” Luocheng took another sip and said lightly.
“You weren’t even playing seriously? Do you know how infuriated Fei Xu from Team Buttpain was?” Xu Ben was fully convinced now.
Xu Ben admitted that he had underestimated this team when he had first met them. However, he was still baffled as to how a kindergarten-level supporting Garen could have beaten the ass out of him. He was, after all, a top Diamond-ranked player in the national server and had witnessed a lot of weird lineups himself. Luocheng’s playstyle was definitely the first of his kind.
Fei Xu from Team Buttpain had also scoffed at Luocheng’s champion selection at the beginning, but his light-hearted mockery had quickly turned into frustrated grumbles after he had been stunned and blocked by Anivia numerous times, and Xu Ben couldn’t be happier gloating at his misfortune.
All in all, it was a pleasure to watch Luocheng play as a Support.
Usually, the Support was the position with the least significance in a game, and Xu Ben was actually considered the weakest link in his team. And so, even though he wished to switch to a more admirable role and carry his team, his inadequacy forbade him from doing so.
Nevertheless, Luocheng’s Support was on an entirely different dimension. His impact in the game was more than any ordinary Support that Xu Ben had seen before this. He was often spotted in the mid lane out of nowhere and his speed of reinforcing his teammates was unbelievably quick. More so, he would sometimes play the Jungler’s role and gank the enemy near the monster’s camp, mid lane, or even the top lane. He seemed to always appear at the right time and at the right place.
A roaming-style Support was very skill-demanding as being absent from the lane for too long might sacrifice the ADC’s development. Xu Ben was riddled by how Luocheng managed to balance between securing his ADC’s farming while dictating the tempo of the game. He had been envisioning such a playstyle for quite some time, but couldn’t find a skillful player to show him the way, not until now.
“Bro, stop pretending. You must be from some sort of professional team. I am being completely sincere when I say I want to learn how to Support from you. Here is my gold card for this club, you can take it and spend it as you like. All your expenses will be put under my tab.” Xu Ben offered generously.
Luocheng recognized the gold card in his hand. It was the same VIP card Xu Ben had flashed to them when they had first met.
“We won’t be here long. We will leave as soon as we obtain the provincial championship.” Luocheng replied, indirectly rejecting his offer.
“Pro... provincial champion...” The chubby guy at the side swallowed.
‘For God’s sake! Who is this Team Birdie from Sandy County? Their aim is the provincial champion?’
Xu Ben and K were both flabbergasted as well.
‘Do you know how difficult it is to win a provincial-level competition? Why do you make it sound like it’s just a piece of cake?’ Team Demolition who had become a monthly champion once had been demolished the last time they had entered the provincial qualifier.
“Alright, alright. Since we are still in HangZhou, I guess it’s fine to give you a tip or two for some extra income.” Luocheng was moved by Xu Ben’s persistence and agreed to his plea.
“Thanks, bro. Wait, I should call you master now!” Xu Ben laughed hysterically.
“Hold it. As I said, I am not doing it for free. You are going to play two hours of ranked games, which is equivalent to three games. I will be watching from the side and giving you advice on how to improve your gameplay throughout. These two hours are counted as a single course,” Luocheng said.
Luocheng was not so kind as to train these wealthy kids for nothing. He had not eaten well for the past few days, and the food in this café was simply too pricey for poor people like them.
“Oh... Okay. How much is one course then?” Xu Ben asked.
Luocheng raised his palm.
Xu Ben said sheepishly as he looked at Luocheng’s five extended fingers, “500?”
Luocheng was shocked and glared back at Xu Ben.
“Don’t tell me it’s 5000? That’s too much!” Xu Ben almost cried.
“Er...”
“1000! Master, my spending is closely monitored by my dad and I don’t have a lot left this month. 1000 per class is the best I can offer. 5000 is simply too expensive for me!”
“Deal!” Luocheng said hurriedly, as if he was worried that Xu Ben might regret it.
“You are such a big-hearted person! Deal!”

‘What the f*ck!’
Luocheng almost pissed himself. He had only been asking for 50 yuan!
He remembered that Yang Qian Qian earned about 100 yuan per hour by giving tuition to elementary school girls. All he would be doing was just sitting there and moving his mouth, so he reckoned that 50 yuan was quite reasonable. Besides, he was willing to make some friends around here since they would still be hanging around for quite some time.
Much to his shock, Xu Ben had counter-offered him 20 times more than what he would have asked, and that gave Luocheng quite a stun.
‘This kid is filthy rich! A wealthy guy like him cares so much about this class, I am not going to embarrass him by revealing my humble initial offer.’
Who would pay 1000 yuan for a game training course?
‘Sigh. I seriously don’t understand kids nowadays.’ Though he really wanted to chastise Xu Ben for his wastefulness, Luocheng figured he would be the wasteful one if he rejected such a lucrative job.
