Chapter 118 Birthday

The next morning, when Jiang Shaoyu went to eat in the national team canteen, he happened to run into Yu Mingxiang.

Yu Mingxiang walked over with a smile: "A Yu, did you decide to sign up for this Asian Championship?"

The team leader did not attend last night's tactical group meeting. Yu Mingxiang listened to what Anna told her. Jiang Shaoyu nodded and said, "Many newcomers to the national team do not have any competition experience. Going directly to the World Championship is prone to problems. Let them experience first."

"If you go abroad, you still need a passport and a visa. If you are sure to sign up, I will help you go through the formalities in advance." Yu Mingxiang paused, then said: "I checked, this year's Asian Championships will be held in Tokyo, Japan, and the schedule will start from 8 From August 1st to August 5th, it will last for five days. The hotel is usually arranged by the organizing committee of the event. If you go early or check out late, you need to pay some fees.”

These trivial matters are actually very troublesome, but Yu Mingxiang was the team leader of the national team before, and she handled these logistical tasks with ease, so Jiang Shaoyu handed it over to her with confidence: "I want to go there two days in advance to get used to the environment over there, and after the fight Go back to China the next day of the competition and stay for seven days. You and Anna will communicate with the organizer about specific matters."

Yu Mingxiang simply nodded: "Don't worry, I will arrange it. For food... Do you need to bring your own chef?"

Jiang Shaoyu asked: "The Asian Championships allow us to bring the logistics team?"

Yu Mingxiang was also not sure. After all, she had never participated before. She thought about it and said, "For the specific situation, I have to ask the organizer, and I will tell you the exact answer."

Jiang Shaoyu hummed, and took his breakfast to the window to sit down: "No hurry, there is still a month to prepare."

Yu Mingxiang also came to him with a plate. Jiang Shaoyu took a mouthful of milk and suddenly said, "By the way, how did you celebrate the birthdays of the players of the last national team?"

Yu Mingxiang was stunned for a moment, and explained: "The players of the last session only came to the base to gather at the end of October to train for a month, and then go abroad to play in December. During the training period, no one had a birthday in November, and they only stayed for three days after going abroad. God will be back."

A Yu suddenly asked this, is it someone's birthday recently? She turned on her phone, flipped through the information of the national team players, her eyes widened slightly: "Tomorrow is Hua Ran and Xia Li's birthdays! Such a coincidence? , they were both born on the same day?"

Jiang Shaoyu said lightly: "Yes. These two guys have no tacit understanding in the game, and the birth times are quite the same."

Yu Mingxiang: "..."

Jiang Shaoyu has a copy of the national team player information, including height, weight, birthday constellation, hobbies and family members, etc. He also accidentally found out when he was looking through it before that both Xia Li and Hua Ran had birthdays on June 21. , Gemini's tail.

The style of these two games is also very unique. A female Alpha who carelessly kills her teammates without hesitation, a male Alpha who runs around frantically and blows up her teammates, Gemini, born on the same day, just like twins who have been separated for many years.

Jiang Shaoyu said: "Tomorrow they will turn 18 years old, so I want to ask you, do you want to organize a birthday for them?"

Yu Mingxiang smiled and said, "Yes, let's give them a surprise!"

Jiang Shaoyu nodded: "Well, is there a cake shop nearby? Please order a cake for them, Sister Yu."

"I know a store, and the cakes are delicious." Yu Mingxiang immediately took out his mobile phone, placed an order for a large two-layer cake, and asked the store to write "Happy 18th Birthday Hua Hua, Xia Xia" and asked them to deliver it tonight.

In the afternoon, the players continued to play hide-and-seek as they used to.

Hua Ran's gun store is full of all kinds of skins, and he bought all kinds of clothes in his "closet". Rainy night map, put on black clothes and black hair... It's like a living chameleon.

The players played hide-and-seek with him, and they were very tired.

However, with the frequent use of the map, everyone's familiarity with the map is indeed constantly improving. Even Xia Li, who had the weakest map ability, finally drew a "ghost drawing" that looked like it. At least now, she can roughly trace the main paths on the map without looking at the computer interface.

Everyone is making progress. Although progress is slow, training is cumulative over time and cannot be achieved overnight.

Every day is boring and repetitive training, but the players are very motivated, and they use the training software as a "Boss" to fight to the death.

Whenever Jiang Shaoyu passed by the training room, he would hear the crisp, crackling sound of the keyboard coming from the room.

No one is lazy, and no one is distracted to do other things. Everyone has training software on their computer screens. Some people are practicing map positioning, and some people are practicing shooting repeatedly. Jiang Shaoyu's "writing review" is still very powerful. It works, these players are honest now.

In the evening, Jiang Shaoyu called everyone together again and announced the news of participating in the Asian Championships.

"I decided to take you to this year's Asian Championships. This is the first time our national team has participated in a continental competition. The level of the continental competition is definitely not comparable to that of the World Series. The players participating in this competition are not the main force of each country. But don't forget, our national team has never won an award in a world event, and in the eyes of foreign players, we are the best."

This sentence made the players collectively bow their heads in shame.

Huaguo's Gun King project has indeed been pulling their hips for many years, and they will feel guilty when they go abroad.

Jiang Shaoyu said: "This year, I hope that other countries' inherent impression of us can change, and you can also show a little style. This Asian Championship is only used for team running-in events, and it is just to gain experience - no matter the result, It's just about the process. The World Series at the end of the year is the highlight. In addition to daily training, we should also pay attention to the daily practice matches within the team. We don't have much time, understand?"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Understood!"

Jiang Shaoyu asked everyone to sit back and said, "Continue the practice game today and change the groups. The red team, Pei Feng, Qin Xueyao, Xia Li, Mo Hantian, and Shi Xiaobin, are five people. Lao Lin is the referee, and the remaining five are the blue team. It's still the picture of the city of ice, playing the extreme duel mode, playing three games."

Everyone immediately sat down according to the coach's arrangement. This is also the first time that Pei Feng and Mo Hantian have officially cooperated.

Xia Li and Hua Ran were divided into two teams, and as expected, there will be no more "mutually hurt" oolongs.

The training game in the team was going on in an orderly manner. After the game, the routine was replayed. Lao Lin carefully played the video for everyone at a slow speed and analyzed and explained it. The players are also watching, looking for their own mistakes.

Since the extreme duel is already very time-consuming, after three consecutive games, it was almost 12 o'clock when the replay ended.

Jiang Shaoyu suddenly sent a message in the group: "@All members, come to the conference room on the 3rd floor."

Everyone looked at each other, and an emergency meeting was held at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night? The coach is not satisfied with everyone's performance, so he wants to scold them all night?

Everyone turned off their computers one after another and came to the conference room on the 3rd floor in an uneasy mood.

Pushing the door open, it was found that the room was dark. Just when everyone was wondering, a candle suddenly lit up on the double-layer cake in the middle of the table.

The coaching staff were all standing by the cake, smiling.

Jiang Shaoyu's always indifferent face became much gentler under the warm yellow candlelight.

I just heard him say: "June 21st is Hua Ran and Xia Li's 18th birthday. It's midnight, you two, happy birthday."

Hua Ran and Xia Li froze on the spot, their heads buzzing, and they didn't know what to say - did Coach Jiang actually give them a birthday for the national team? This is even more exciting than winning the lottery Excited!

Unexpectedly, Coach Jiang, who is very busy every day, will remember their birthdays!

Xia Li's eyes were slightly red, and Hua Ran's nose was sour. The two looked at each other with mixed emotions.

Yu Mingxiang smiled and took the lead in singing: "Happy birthday to you..."

Others also sang along, and the conference room, which usually has to be criticized every time it enters the door, is full of warmth at this time.

After a birthday song was sung, there was warm applause from all around.

"Happy birthday to Xia Xia and Hua Hua."

"Hahaha, your birthdays are very compatible."

"The child is finally an adult, congratulations."

Shu Chen was worried, and seeing Hua Ran looking at him, he also bravely said, "Happy birthday, happy birthday."

Hua Ran smiled: "Thank you everyone! So many people accompany me on my birthday, I am so happy!"

Xia Li's cheeks flushed with excitement: "Thank you coach, thank you everyone! I didn't expect someone to be born in the same year and the same month as me, Hua Ran, should we go for a genetic test? Maybe it's a long-lost sister and brother?"

Hua Ran said bluntly, "Brother and sister? I must be older than you."

Xia Li said: "I was born at 1 am."

Hua Ran said, "I am 12:50 in the morning, 10 minutes earlier than you."

Xia Li: "...Brother, you won!"

A group of people laughed, these two are simply the joy of the national team.

Jiang Shaoyu pointed to the cake and said, "Come on, make a wish, and cut the cake."

The two stepped forward together, folded their hands and made a wish - hope this session of the national team can achieve good results!

This wish is a rare tacit understanding between the two of them.

After making the wish, they each took a knife and cut the cake. Yu Mingxiang turned around and turned on the light. In addition to cakes, there were many takeaway barbecues, kebabs, and grilled vegetables on the table, which were very rich.

Jiang Shaoyu said, "You guys are tired from training these days. Let's have some late-night snacks."

He looked at Hua Ran and Xia Li: "Congratulations on your coming of age."

Hua Ran was a little moved, and she and Xia Li looked at each other and handed the cut cake to Jiang Shaoyu: "Thank you Coach Jiang."

Jiang Shaoyu seldom touches such high-calorie sweets, but the two little guys handed him the first one and offered it with both hands respectfully. Jiang Shaoyu had to take it and ate some of it to save face.

Hua Ran and Xia Li shared the cake among their teammates. Everyone ate the cake and meat skewers, and had a lively birthday. Hua Ran and Xia Li couldn't help but post a photo on Weibo.

"Super happy birthday with the national team!"

"Thank you Coach Jiang, thank you everyone, love you [Bixin]"

Netizens saw the group photo of the two with the birthday cake and wondered: "Is this national team so harmonious?"

"I thought they would fight during the training camp!"

"You two actually have the same birthday? It's a coincidence, you will definitely have a good understanding of each other during the game, right?"

"One male A, one female A, you two can just swoop as brothers!"

"Happy birthday to Hua Hua and Xia Xia, come on."

Hua Ran is a newcomer and is not very popular. As one of the few Alpha girls in the league, Xia Li still has a lot of fans. The birthday Weibo was quickly transferred to the homepage, and some players who failed to make it into the hearts of the national team Can not help but envy. They also really want to celebrate their birthdays on the national team.

After returning to the dormitory in the evening, Pei Feng took out his mobile phone and sent a private message to Jiang Shaoyu: "Master is so attentive and dedicated to birthdays for the players. Hua Hua and Xia Li were so moved that they have completely become your stubborn fans."

Jiang Shaoyu said, "Your birthday is the 18th of next month, right? I'll give it to you then."

During his time at ACE, Jiang Shaoyu once gave Pei Feng a birthday and gave him a small and exquisite model of the "Balot Sniper Rifle", hoping that he could play with this gun well. That model, which Pei Feng has kept in a glass cover, is still as brand new after five years.

Pei Feng looked back at the model placed on the TV cabinet in the living room, and couldn't help feeling a little warm in his heart.

In the past at ACE, Master was like a big parent, he was strict with Pei Feng, but he took care of the younger apprentice carefully and gently. When Pei Feng was young, he went from the imperial capital to Xingcheng to learn art from a teacher. He was thousands of kilometers away from home, and he didn't know where he lived, but he never felt lonely.

Because he has a master, and the master is his support.

Now that I have grown up, can I turn around and become Master's support?

Pei Feng smiled slightly and typed: "This time, I don't need to trouble Master Zhang Luo for my birthday, I'll treat you."

Jiang Shaoyu said, "How can there be a reason to treat yourself on a birthday?"

Pei Feng said seriously: "When I was a child, you always took good care of me, gave me a birthday, and gave me the model firearm in order to encourage me to play snipers. Now that I have the ability, I am no longer a child who needs your care.My apprentice, it's my turn to invite Master to a big meal." He paused, and then sent a row of classic wavy lines: "Is that okay, Master~~"

Jiang Shaoyu found that Pei Feng always emphasized that he was not a child back then, but that he had grown up and was capable... In fact, Jiang Shaoyu also knew that Xiao Pei was no longer the boy he remembered, but an adult Alpha.

Jiang Shaoyu typed back: "Okay. Your birthday is yours."
