“You’re still not done?” Meiqi asked anxiously, covering one side of her ear to properly listen to the answer from the other side.

“We’re still stuck with no screen. The university refuses to loan it to us because they’re scared it will get damaged. It will take at least two hours to get the projector set up. What’s the situation now?” Qin Tang asked.

“Listen to it yourself, I’m so angry right now!” Meiqi said, lifting the phone from her ear.

The cheers of the Zhenjiang University students flooded through the receiver.

“Oh sh*t, that sounds like a whole damn lot of people up there!” Qin Ting said in surprise.

“It’s definitely incomparably stronger than our university, hurry up and find a way to get it done! Others have such great support, our university doesn’t have any excuse to lack supporters. Let the cheers for us be louder than everyone in the dormitory!” Meiqi exclaimed.

“Okay…” Qin Ting nodded his head.

On Shanghai University’s side, the e-sports club members and the student community were busy setting up the stage outside the community area.

“F*ck, they have so many people! Hurry up and get to the university radio room, f*cking book the whole slot for the afternoon! Announce it to the whole university and let all of them know that this afternoon is the day we’re up against Zhejiang University!” Qin Ting shouted at the facilitator that he had randomly grabbed.

“It’s expensive to book the whole afternoon.” The facilitator tried to reason with him

“F*ck the price, I’ll pay whatever money is needed, hurry up and go!” Qin Ting roared.

“Qin Ting, there’s a way! There’s a way!” One of the senior members of the club shouted as she ran toward him.

“What is it!” Qin Ting hurriedly asked.

The main issue now was that they couldn’t get a big screen, there was no one in the university that was willing to lend it to them, and it was pissing Qin Ting off.

“Didn’t the Film Club play movies at the community area last week, we could borrow the equipment from them!” The girl replied.

The Film Club would play movies using the projector in the community area from time to time. All they needed was a laptop, a linking device, and a projector screen.

“F*ck, how could I have forgotten? Who the hell is in the Film Club?” Qin Ting smacked his head, and shouted out the latter part of his sentence.

Both the e-sports club and Film Club were made up of members who were good in computers, and generally, they had good relationships with each other. It shouldn’t be a problem to borrow equipment from them.

“My roommate is the president, I’ll find him to borrow…no, I’ll ask the club members to help us set up the projection even if it kills them!”

“Alright, get to the announcement, let them know we’re streaming the match between Shanghai University and Zhejiang University live. Those who have nothing to do, go knock on all the doors in the dormitory, tell them there’s a match in the community area!” Qin Ting instructed, excitement and glee in his voice.

The Film Club members moved fast, it only took about ten minutes to see several vice presidents carrying the equipment and appearing at the community area.

There was no need for many words, the Film Club members started setting up the equipment immediately.

“How long do you need?” Qin Ting asked.

“At least half an hour.” The president replied.

“Alright, please hurry!” Qin Ting said.

In the Zhejiang University community area, the whole area was occupied by their students. The cheers of thousands of students were heard every time Zhejiang Team killed someone or brought down a turret.

Even with the noise cancelling headphones on, you could feel the atmosphere and enthusiasm of the crowd drowning their inner defense. The previous matches were all held in their home ground, and this was the first time the Shanghai team felt the tremendous pressure of being suppressed.

Ten minutes into the game, and all three lanes had been overtaken. Fifteen minutes into the game, a teamfight at bot lane had caused a wipe out, putting a gap of five thousand gold between the two teams. There was no hope of a comeback with a gap that big.

Zhejiang team was on a roll, at twenty minutes, they had already made their way into the highground. After taking the Baron, they ended the fight in twenty three minutes.

The game concluded at twenty three minutes, with none of the lanes holding the line. A sense of helplessness was born.

The five of them took off their headphones, and the roar of the crowd burst into their ears, making them feel like putting their headphones back on.

“They’re too strong…” Wang Jun said, bowing his head.

His spirit had been beaten till there was no light left, they were too naive in their thoughts.

For the sake of Mr. Fang, and for the sake of getting into the top four, they had paid their own way to come all the way to Hangzhou to go against Zhejiang University. They were full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit, but they had overlooked one major problem. Zhejiang University was way too strong, and they were practically unbeatable.

The rest remained silent. Sixteen to eight, this match was a three match system, with two best out of three. There was no hope of winning the next match, and once they were done, they had to pack up and go back to Shanghai.

When they thought about the smug and gleeful expressions of those assholes back home and the disappointment of their supporters, their hearts felt heavy.

“Zhejiang win! Zhejiang win! Zhejiang win!”

“Zhejiang win! Zhejiang win! Zhejiang win!”

The unrestrained voices of the crowd washed over them, and the five of them couldn’t help but feel even more dejected.

Zhejiang team stood from their seats, acknowledging the crowd as they kept their winning smiles on their faces.

Although the cheers were harsh in their ears and piercing their hearts, the Shanghai members unknowingly also admitted that Zhejiang was going to win.

Yang Ying’s heart was cold, and he only had eyes toward the corner where the other club members were standing. What surprised him, however, was that Meiqi was standing on the table, holding her jacket up as high as she could. On her jacket was written ‘They are watching you!’.

Meiqi noticed that Yang Ying was looking at her, and she hurriedly pointed to the laptop, and scribbled on another member’s jacket. Among the crowd, Meiqi once again stood on a chair, raising the jacket with written words for Yang Ying, Luocheng, Wang Jun, Jinbei and Xiao Jia.

After entering the stage, no communication device was allowed. Meiqi couldn’t enter the stage either, so this was the only way she could communicate with them.

“There are a lot of people, above five hundred of them!”

Among the densely packed crowd, an orange jacket was above them, the words that Meiqi wanted to tell them written on it.

“Their computer is connected to our university, and there are more than five hundred people who are watching us in the community.” Xiao Jia said, as he could see what Meiqi wrote.

“We’ve lost so badly, and we have let them see such a shameful sight…” Wang Jun said.

“It should have just been built…”

“Zhejiang win…Zhejiang win…”

As the five of them were talking, they could still hear the cheers from the Zhejiang University students that pierced through their hearts, making them lose their fighting spirit.

The five of them were silent for a moment, their eyes unconsciously drawn to Meiqi…

She was scribbling on another member’s jacket in a hurry, writing out four words.

“Damn it, I’ve already fought so hard with these guys!”

Meiqi had already lost all concept of being reserved, and she raised the third member’s jacket and screamed out in a sharp voice.

“Zhejiang win! Zhejiang win! Shanghai win…Shanghai win…”

A girl with bright red hair stood on the chair among the densely packed crowd, her hands holding a jacket with the words ‘Shanghai win’, her face flushed red and screaming constantly.

As the cheering of the Zhejiang students slowly subsided, the girl’s sharp high pitched voice rang out among the thousands, flowing into the ears of the five members of the Shanghai team.

Meiqi’s voice was almost drowned out by the noise around them, but Luocheng heard it clearly.

Looking at Meiqi who was a goddess now turned into a fiery sprite, the Shanghai team on stage were stunned.

Previously all they could see was ‘Zhejiang win’, and everywhere they turned, they were cornered by the enemy. But in a corner, there were still people cheering for them, and this figure stood alone in a sea of people, and her voice broke through the thousands, reaching them…

And to think that usually, she was the lazy and weak girl!

“Shanghai, win! Shanghai, win!”

As Meiqi’s voice got hoarse, they expected her voice to disappear, but all of a sudden, the shouts from the corner became louder!

The loud voices were a bit static-y, and it became obvious that it was coming from a speaker.

“I seem to hear something…” the host said, looking at the corner where the rest of the Shanghai members were. She saw that there was a large speaker beside the laptop, not completely sure when it had gotten there!

“It seems like they are amplifying the cheers for the Shanghai team, why do I feel that this isn’t computer made…” The host said, shifting the topic as it was break time.

While the host was speculating, another person walked up to her and whispered into her ears. She hesitated for a moment, and nodded her head.

The host was the official host of the match, and she didn’t have any favoritism. She looked at the anxious red-head down on the stage and said, “A student from Shanghai University has a few words to say to the Shanghai team, let’s hear it.”

Saying that, the host invited the girl up stage, passing the microphone to her.

Zheng Xia took the offered microphone and glanced at the team members on stage who had lost all their fighting spirit.

“Our team in Shanghai University has used two and a half hours to build the stage, hanging it at the entrance of our community area. There are five hundred people watching, and now there are more than six hundred people. Did you hear the cheers from the speaker, it’s Qin Ting who had asked everyone to shout into the mic and it was passed through YY!” Zheng Xia said seriously. “The next two matches, the whole student body will be watching.”

“Mr. Fang is there, the Film Club members and E-sports Club members, including all those other clubs who hope that we will lose are also watching.”

Zheng Xia eyed the five of them, taking a deep breath before saying, “Bring out your proper attitude and don’t let us down!”

With that said, Zheng Xia handed the microphone back to the host and left the stage.

Shouting out from the thousands of people present, taking the microphone from the host in other people’s homeground…

Was this really the usual Meiqi and Zheng Xia that they knew?

Where did they get the courage?

“Shanghai, win! Shanghai, win!”

You could hear the sound transmitting from the computer from hundreds of miles away, and the loudest was Qin Ting as he was the nearest to the mic. This guy was usually quiet, and yet, here he was, crazily encouraging people to cheer!

An indescribable warmth spread throughout them at this moment, and gradually, it lit into a burning flame!

Even those two girls had the courage to stand alone among the thousands of students to cheer for them, why then would the five of them, who was representing the glory for Shanghai University, be afraid?

***

Take out your own strength, the enemy isn’t that strong!

Use your own power to grab the glory, never give up!
