Brother is on the case

Chapter 36: Interlude #9

Summary:

Meanwhile, in a certain chat...

Notes:

There are some updates on my current situation: I might be fucked. So, I'm don't remember if I already said it, cuz my memory is... wonderful, but I am a final year master student. In biomedical engineering (I regret my choices so much). And so I have to present my thesis at the end of this year - which has been going... wonderfully with the whole pandemic thing. Just wonderfully. And it might actually get even better... (Kill me.) So there are some issues with the technique I am using, and the whole experiment I am to implement might need to be changed. Tomorrow we'll have a reunion to decide my fate, please pray that nothing is changed, because I do not think I'll survive having to research everything again and resubmit the papers for approval. I'm just... done with everything at this point.
To add to the mess, I have a project to finish till next Sunday, and my exams are just around a corner.

So yea... with the uncertainty of my fate, there's a chance I might not be able to update anything. My ability to write is tightly connected to my stress levels - if I am panicking about university, I promise you not a single word will come out right. I just wanted to give a prior warning. This was not in my plans, trust me.

And so, please enjoy this small, if somewhat relevant chapter. Thank you for reading, and hopefully I'll be back soon. :)

Chapter Text

In some forgotten chat room:

 

Milk_Dad: So… I’ve heard you might be looking for a cleric?

Number_One_Terror: This chat is still available? Man, this bring so many memories…Wait, who is this?

Number_One_Terror: Yin Xiong! You are still using that nickname? Xia Ming will die laughing when she hears of this.

Number_One_Terror: Not that my name is not much better… who changed it? Was it Su Muqiu?

Number_One_Terror: Anyway, long time no talk.

Milk_Dad: You will tell no one.

Milk_Dad: I forgot this was even my nickname… Are you looking for a cleric or not?

Number_One_Terror: Yup. Why, are you offering? *wink* *wink* Wanna join the chaos?

Milk_Dad: No. Please, don’t even… don’t even suggest that.

Milk_Dad: I would probably die from anxiety the day before our first match. Standing on the strange again *shudders* No thanks. I am happy with my life as a shut in, thank you very much.

Number_One_Terror: Aww. (๑◕︵◕๑)  And here I was planning a reunion. Though we should totally plan one. (¬‿¬)

Number_One_Terror: Why you asking then?

Milk_Dad: I might know a good candidate. He is my cousin’s university friend that comes here sometimes to play Glory as a cleric. Not bad.

Number_One_Terror: Listening.

Milk_Dad: He has a good head, calm and serious, quite exceptional at seizing opportunities. He doesn’t have much experience, and his hand speed and reaction time are slow in pro-player standards. But for a team as yours it might not be a problem.

Milk_Dad: I see the potential; with proper training he would fit well with your team.

Milk_Dad: I could train him for a while, I know you are busy. But think about it.

Number_One_Terror: What is there to think about? If you say he has potential, then he has potential. Let’s try it. Tell him to add me, I’m using Lord Grim.

Milk_Dad: *thumbs up*

Milk_Dad: Btw, is Wu Xuefeng returning? I’ve seen your Weibo post, he looks good.

Number_One_Terror: He is. For a season.

Milk_Dad: … I pity your opponents. Brother Wu seems nice, until he starts scheming the death of his opponents. Then he is ruthless.

Number_One_Terror: True, true.

Number_One_Terror: I respect him so much…

Milk_Dad: You two are horrible. Letting you two partner up should be against the rules.

Number_One_Terror: Ψ(☆w☆)Ψ

Number_One_Terror: We should probably try to get the gang back together for a night out. Have dinner. Steal some Wild Bosses. Screw with some pros. (。•̀ᴗ-)✧ (。•̀ᴗ-)✧

Number_One_Terror: I think Wu Xuefeng’s reappearance made me sentimental…

Milk_Dad: …

Milk_Dad: *sigh*

Milk_Dad: Yea, keep saying that to yourself. You’re just looking for an opportunity to get free labor and extra materials.

Milk_Dad: Sure. It would be nice to meet your brother and everyone else. I’m leaving the planning to you.

Milk_Dad: And stop using those faces for everything that is sacred, do you want to scar someone for life?

Number_One_Terror:  ∑(゚ロ゚〃)

Number_One_Terror:  ʕ ಡ ﹏ ಡ ʔ

Number_One_Terror: つ´Д`)つ

Milk_Dad: ... Do whatever you want.

Number_One_Terror: (๑ゝڡ◕๑)
