Chapter 108: Master Yourself

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A few days after Yu Luocheng became the spokesperson of the Grand Linca, the results of NCEE 1 was announced at last.

Yu Luocheng himself cared little about the score. Instead, it was his old man, Yu Jing, who sat persistently in front of the television, waiting for the results to be revealed.

As soon as the NCEE scores were available for checking, he immediately dialed the hotline to inquire about his son’s results.

Yu Luocheng happened to return home the moment Yu Jing’s phone conversation ended. His face was a little tanned after constant exposure to the sunlight.

He removed his shoes and walked in. He peeked at Li Yun and Yu Jing who had just put down the phone.

“Do I need to get you a bat?” Yu Luocheng joked.

To be honest, he did not have much confidence over his NCEE results. In case he screwed up…

All in all, students nowadays cared more about their ranking points rather than exam scores. Yu Luocheng was basically one of them.

“I am going to the market to prepare extra dishes for tonight!” Li Yun smiled.

Yu Jing, who always had a straight face, also gave Yu Luocheng a wide and satisfied grin.

“Not bad. Your overall results are commendable, especially in Mathematics!” Yu Jing laughed happily.

Yu Luocheng swore he had not seen his father laugh this happily ever since he had gotten addicted to video games. Even when Yu Yu was handpicked by a renowned coach and selected to be in the province reserve team, Yu Jing had never expressed such joy.

Yu Luocheng was more familiar with his father’s solemn face, his disgruntled scolding, and his constant look of doubt, wondering whether he was indeed his own son. Recently, the old man’s face had been even more dreadful to look at after it was ravaged by illness.

Finally, finally, he laughed. Yu Luocheng had almost forgotten how his father’s elated expression looked like.

Yu Luocheng smiled along and said, “You can choose any course you like but I am going to decide which city to go to.”

Yu Luocheng knew that he did not need to worry about the course selection. His father most probably had already done the research and made the decision for him.

“Shanghai.” Yu Luocheng named the city he wished to go to without much hesitation.

Yu Jing frowned as soon as Yu Luocheng pinpointed the city.

Shanghai, the exact city Yu Jing greatly despised.

This was where his good-for-nothing son had once left the house for nearly two years.

But since he had now qualified for college, Yu Jing believed his son would no longer act recklessly like before.

Besides, Yu Luocheng had been behaving well recently. He was not going to do things that would bring disgrace to the family anymore.

After some internal conflict, Yu Jing finally nodded. “Okay. There are quite a lot of good colleges around Shanghai anyway. Your results would not be good enough for Fudan University though. But I think it is adequate to at least get you into a few other universities that are under Project 211 1 . I have been closely following the employment rate and current financial development in our country these past few months. According to several experts, robotic, electronic, data management, and multimedia remain to be the few industries with great potential. I am going to select a course related to these fields for you, any comments?”

“Whatever,” Yu Luocheng replied.

Yu Jing turned serious and criticized his son’s attitude. “Don’t whatever me. This is your future we are talking about.”

‘My future?

‘Right… Science stream students are said to be so desperate that they are often misunderstood. Whenever they buy something as simple as a pair of gloves, people would assume that they are buying clothes for their imaginary girlfriends.’

Yu Luocheng had simply selected a course that might have more female classmates in it. He actually didn’t even consider much and knew nothing about the field he had chosen…’Whenever you don’t know which one to choose between A, B, C, or D, always go for B!’

“By the way, you seem rather occupied recently. I hardly see you at home,” Yu Jing questioned Yu Luocheng.

“I worked part-time… At the computer store,” Yu Luocheng answered.

“I see. That’s good. At least it’s better than crouching in front of the computer all day playing that stupid game. I also heard from your mum that you frequently went out with the girl that came to the hospital the other day. Are you in a relationship?” Yu Jing asked him straightforwardly.

“I am not. We are just very close friends,” Yu Luocheng replied.

“She is really pretty. However, don’t you get too involved, you hear me? Better not get into any relationships before you graduate from university. You should prioritize your studies,” Yu Jing warned him.

“Your nagging is more unbearable than Mom’s, you know that?” Yu Luocheng went back to his room after he washed his face. He was sick of his father’s textbook lecture.

‘No relationship before graduation?

‘No wonder so many guys in the science courses are unable to get a girlfriend. Obviously it’s not that they are inadequate in any way. They are simply following their fathers’ old school teaching with unmoving obedience. Girlfriend after finishing my studies… Pfft…’

My dear nerds, you’ve got to try your best to keep lying to yourself and numb yourself into believing these lies. When you are truly beyond the reach of mortal concerns… Well, by then you have to cherish your own two hands. In the words of Lee Sin—Master yourself.

He closed the door and blocked off Yu Jing’s annoying voice.

Suddenly, Yu Luocheng came to realize a very important matter.

‘Have I f*cking forgotten to ask about my own score?’

***

He had no activities to attend in the afternoon so he could play as many rounds of LOL as he pleased.

Yu Luocheng launched the game and first checked the battle history. He instinctively clicked on Snowfall’s ID.

‘She was online! She was in yesterday!’

Yu Luocheng immediately sat upright. His eyes were beaming with excitement.

‘How many months have passed since she last appeared?’ Yu Luocheng was depressed for a long period of time after she vanished suddenly without a word.

When he finally found her trace again, the flame in his heart was reignited and burned brightly.

Till now, Yu Luocheng still vividly remembered her mature yet sexy voice. When he thought that he would never get to meet her again, that person he dreamed of day and night re-emerged again just yesterday night.

She had played only one normal game as an ADC.

Yu Luocheng hastily logged into his account in the Freljord region and hoped that she had left him a message there.

‘No message? Why didn’t you leave me any words?’

Yu Luocheng checked his QQ account next carrying the same hope. No new message there either.

‘Damn it! I don’t understand!’

Yu Luocheng frowned. He wondered why Snowfall came online briefly only to leave without saying a word.

He contemplated quietly for a while, then clicked on a category he hadn’t touched for a long time in his QQ contact list.

“Dong, help me out.” Yu Luocheng sent a message to one of the contacts with a grayed-out avatar under that category.

That person was not online at first. The avatar lit up not long after.

“Wow! Am I dreaming? My big bro is sending me a message!!” That person replied to Yu Luocheng with an exaggerated emoticon.

“Help me check the IP address of this QQ account. I think she logged in yesterday. Let me know in which city this account was last active at,” Yu Luocheng didn’t beat around the bush and jumped straight to the favor he wanted from him.

“Bro, I don’t think I can be of any help. I have stopped doing illegal stuff…”

“Bullshit! Give it to me tomorrow or I will kick your butt when I am in Shanghai!” Yu Luocheng scolded him harshly.

“Bro, are you coming to Shanghai??”

“Yes.”

“!!! Oh my god! You’ve finally decided to return?!!!”

“Return your ass. I am going there to attend college.”

“Bro, I am literally shitting myself right now. Finally, I am going to meet you again!”

“Stop the nonsense and get going with the IP. Hush.”

“It’s already done.”

Yu Luocheng was stunned. ‘That was quick!’

“The IP address appears to be from an overseas server. She logged in from a foreign country.”

“Overseas???” Yu Luocheng was again stunned.

‘The girl whom I’ve chatted, gamed, and joked around with for the past few years is actually a foreigner? You’ve gotta be kidding me!”

“I have also checked her previous log-in record. Guess which city is that?”

“Spill!”

“Shanghai. I do know the exact location, too…”

“Spit it out!”

“I will tell you when you’ve really arrived in Shanghai like you said. Speaking of which, you have been chatting with her quite frequently. Don’t tell me you two still have never actually met in person…”

“Tell me the exact location.”

“I will tell you when you are here in Shanghai.”

“You son of a bitch!”
