With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

Upon hearing this, Shen Xing turned to look at Shi Jingming.

"What?" Shi Jingming blinked. "Can't I come with you?"

"Do you play games?" Shen Xing asked uncertainly, because she had known Shi Jingming for so long and had never heard him talk about games before.

Upon hearing Shen Xing's tone, Shi Jingming immediately glared at her: "Who are you looking down on? Although I'm not as good as you, I'm at least better than... better than my senior."

He lowered his voice for the last few words, but the space was small and there were only a few of them, so Zhang Boyang could hear him.

But he wasn't angry. He knew his own skill level, and even if others didn't say it, his game rank would prove everything.

He's definitely not very good at the game.

Guan Rui took out another application form and handed it to Shi Jingming: "It's okay. Esports represents a spirit, and it has nothing to do with whether you're good or bad at it. We welcome anyone who wants to come."

"Thank you, senior." Shi Jingming grinned, took the application form, snatched the pen from Shen Xing's hand, and bent over at the table to start filling out the form.

At this moment, Zhang Boyang walked up to Shen Xing, put his arm around his shoulder, and asked excitedly, "Junior, do you know any friends who are good at playing games? Bring them over, so you can form your own team."

Shen Xing shook his head. He had asked Rabbit and Wen Hao before he came, and neither of them were coming.

"Doesn't the company have teams?" Shen Xing asked.

Zhang Boyang scratched his head: "Our team is made up of a few people who have good relationships and good skills. You're new here, so I guess you won't fit in. I personally think it would be better if you formed your own team."

Shen Xing nodded in understanding. These e-sports teams in colleges and universities are formed spontaneously by their members, unlike professional teams which are selected through a selection process.

To put it simply, the model isn't very formal, and everyone is relatively free.

"Let's see after a while. I've only just arrived and I don't know anyone yet," Shen Xing said hesitantly.

At this moment, Guan Rui looked at Zhang Boyang and said, "Boyang, go back and introduce Shen Xing to a few people in the club who are relatively skilled, and see if anyone is interested in forming a team with him."

"No problem!" Zhang Boyang gave an OK sign and patted Shen Xing on the shoulder: "Go for it, junior! I believe in you!"

Shen Xing smiled somewhat awkwardly.

After the two filled out the forms, Guan Rui and Zhang Boyang gave them a brief introduction to the e-sports club.

Longda's e-sports club was founded in 2016, making it one of the earliest established university e-sports clubs in China.

However, although Longda is a top university in China and its students are all academic high-achievers, its performance and status in the national college e-sports league are not ideal, and are even somewhat lackluster.

The e-sports club's highlight was in 2019, when Longda's e-sports team won the national runner-up title in the "National College E-sports League" and was also named an outstanding club of the year by Longda.

These are the only two brocade banners hanging on the wall.

Now in 2025, six years later, the e-sports club has achieved nothing and has truly become just an interest group.

Therefore, the management and discipline of esports clubs are relatively loose. Everyone gets together just to play games and have fun. As a result, the club currently has nearly a hundred members, but only one internal team.

Because everyone's skill level is uneven, and most people's skills are in the middle to lower range, it is impossible to form multiple school teams.

After saying this, Guan Rui added, "The e-sports club is currently open to its members all day, but if you want to join the club to play games after 10 p.m., you need to provide your class schedule for the next two days, and it will be approved by the management to ensure that it will not affect your classes."

"The club's membership fee is paid on a semester basis and is mainly used for daily equipment maintenance, hardware replacement, and team building activities. Our club's maintenance expenses are significantly higher than other clubs, so the membership fee is one cent per person per semester."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jingming's eyes widened. He regretted it a little, as his monthly living expenses were only about that much.

Guan Rui added, "Students with financial difficulties can apply for volunteer work, which means coming to the club to clean up, wipe keyboards and mice, etc., in order to waive the club fee."

Shi Jingming's eyes lit up again when he heard this. It was quite humane. He wanted to be a cleaner!

"Add Boyang on WeChat and have him add you to our e-sports club WeChat group. You can contact him or me directly if you have any questions later."

Shen Xing and Zhang Boyang nodded to each other and added each other on WeChat before leaving.

"Xing, if you're forming a team, you have to take me with you. I joined just to keep you company," Shi Jingming said.

“If you’re not interested, you don’t have to stay with me. I’m really fine now. I’ve completely recovered from what happened before.”

Shen Xing felt that Shi Jingming was only going along with him because he was worried about her.

But in reality, he really doesn't care anymore.

"I'm interested! Playing games is so much fun, who doesn't love playing games?"

Shen Xing stared at him for two seconds, then smiled and said, "Alright, come if you want. I'll cover your tour fee."

"I don't need it, I'll do cleaning." Shi Jingming said, "Just add me when you form a team, I'm pretty good at it, much better than Bo Yang's foot-picking skills."

"Of course I'll take you with me. I can't leave anyone else out." Shen Xing happily hooked her arm around Shi Jingming's shoulder: "You're my best friend!"

Shi Jingming raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "What about Jiang Ran?"

"You all!"

As the two were walking and chatting happily in the school, a commotion suddenly broke out not far away, and many students from Longda University suddenly started running in one direction.

Shen Xing and Shi Jingming were both stunned, then looked at each other.

"What's wrong?" Shi Jingming asked curiously.

Shen Xing shook his head; he didn't know either.

Just then, his phone suddenly vibrated violently. He took it out and saw that it was Wenhao calling him directly.

The moment the answer button was pressed, Wenhao's terrified scream came from the other end of the line: "Xingxing, someone's been murdered!"

Shen Xing's expression froze. She didn't hear clearly at first, or perhaps she thought she had misheard: "Huh? What?"

"Murder! Yuko has murdered someone!"

Instantly, a chill ran up Shen Xing's feet and straight to the top of his head, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

Seeing the restless group of students running around not far away, Shen Xingcai finally reacted, grabbed Shi Jingming's wrist, and ran forward.

Shi Jingming was still unaware of what had happened: "Xing, where are you going? What are you doing?"

Shen Xing didn't know how to explain, but when he heard Wen Hao say on the phone that Qin Yong had killed someone, his heart clenched.

Although the other party had betrayed him, compared to that incident, murder was clearly a completely different matter and far more serious!
