Chapter 228: Chapter 227: Wang Xing’s Provocation (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)
Su City University emerged victorious again in the preliminaries, and the team captain of Jiangkou Polytechnic went berserk and attacked the captain of the Su City University team.
Shortly after the game ended, the news instantly blew up on the local forums in Yundu City.
At this moment, Shao Zifeng was sitting on the shuttle bus back to the hotel.
“Okay, sister-in-law, I’ll be careful.”
“Mmhmm, really, I don’t need anything.”
“Alright, goodbye sister-in-law, I won’t talk to big brother, tell him to drink more goji berry tea.”
Hanging up quickly amid Chen Zhenglong’s scolding, Shao Zifeng leaned back in his seat and rubbed his forehead.
As expected, the first to call after the news broke were Chen Zhenglong and his wife.
Remembering Chen Zhenglong’s frantic demeanor, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shao Zifeng’s mouth.
After a busy morning and having used Ignition, Shao Zifeng fell asleep not long after hanging up the phone.
“Captain.”
Half-asleep, he vaguely heard someone calling him, and Shao Zifeng nodded, signaling that he was listening.
“Captain!”
“Captain, look at me, please, Captain.”
Shao Zifeng was getting a bit impatient. He opened his eyes and said, “Yiming, if you have something to say, just say it, you don’t have to keep calling me…”
As Shao Zifeng spoke, the atmosphere in the car became awkward.
Li Yiming, sitting in front of Shao Zifeng, turned around with a biscuit in his hand and crumbs at the corners of his mouth, looking innocently at Shao Zifeng.
Shao Zifeng suddenly remembered that Li Yiming usually calls him big brother.
Holding onto a thread of hope, he turned to Casar, who pointed to his own mouth and wore a smile that reveled in the misfortune.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Shao Zifeng’s face, and he stiffly turned his neck to look at the last person, only to see Hu Shiwu hugging his knees and curling up in his seat.
His head buried in his knees, he looked vulnerable and helpless.
“Ahem.” Shao Zifeng scratched his head awkwardly; he really wasn’t good at comforting others.
“Hu…”
“You don’t have to say anything, Captain!” Hu Shiwu suddenly looked up, his eyes shining with determination as he stared at Shao Zifeng, “I will keep working hard, I will make the captain remember me!”
His words blocked what Shao Zifeng was about to say. He looked at the suddenly energized Hu with surprise and after a moment, gave him an encouraging look, “Keep it up, I believe you can do it.”
…
With 51 institutions participating, the preliminary round determined 25 teams, plus 1 team with a bye to enter the pre-competition.
The 13 teams that won in the pre-competition advanced directly to the top 16, while the 13 losing teams had to compete the next day to secure three spots in the top 16.
So, after today’s games, they had an extra day to rest. When Shao Zifeng returned to the Yundu Hotel, he saw that a construction crew was already busy installing the new glass wall.
Thinking of the 1.41 million yuan debt, Shao Zifeng felt uneasy. Taking advantage of the free day, he decided to stroll around Yundu City’s flower, bird, fish, and pet market after lunch, regardless of what he might find, and to visit Yundu City’s underground platform again in the evening.
Paying back the money to Yundu Hotel as soon as possible would lessen his psychological burden.
Thinking about it made him upset. He had originally gone for a bargain hunt, and because of that uncle, he felt delayed for so many days, feeling as if he had lost a billion yuan.
After lunch, Bald Qiang excused himself to gather information on their rivals and slipped away. Shao Zifeng asked Casar and Li Yiming if they wanted to go out together.
They had been looking forward to it, but when they arrived downstairs and saw a group of girls guarding the entrance of the Yundu Hotel, they hesitated, made excuses about needing to bond with their pets, and hastily ran back to the elevator.
Since the competition had eliminated another group of people today, there were far fewer in the mood to relax in the lobby, gathering in small groups and murmuring amongst themselves.
Ding~
Just as Shao Zifeng was about to leave, the elevator door next to him suddenly opened, and a boy yawning, with a team uniform draped over his shoulders, bumped right into him.
“F**k, are you blind or what?”
Before he could reply, the boy cursed at him. Shao Zifeng slightly frowned, holding back his impatience, “Excuse me.”
Wang Xing rubbed his eyes and lazily glared at Shao Zifeng with his dead-fish eyes, “Yo, you bumpt into me and don’t even apologize before walking away, you think you’re so badass?”
The quarreling attracted the attention of the competitors resting in the lobby, their faces showing surprise as they whispered among themselves upon seeing the two in conflict.

The plain-looking Qin Zhaoxu nudged Wang Xiao, giving him a glance in that direction, and then cheerfully picked up his thermos to watch the fun unfold.
Wang Xiao was momentarily stunned, then looked over to see who it was, got up to sit next to Qin Zhaoxu, and watched with interest.
Only Di Wushi was a bit more reserved, but she too turned her head back to sneak peeks every now and then.
“You little punk, this is my damn turf,” Wang Xing squinted as he sized up Shao Zifeng, who was slightly taller than him, and reached out to push his shoulder.
Slap.
With a look of annoyance in his eyes, Shao Zifeng quickly caught Wang Xing’s outstretched wrist, exerted force on the wrist and pressed down.
“Ow ow ow… f**k!” Intense pain from his wrist made him grimace and curse continuously.
Without a word, Shao Zifeng pulled on Wang Xing’s wrist and pushed, making Wang Xing stagger backward several steps to lean against the elevator doors behind him.
Although Wang Xing was quite brash, his physique was indeed no match for Shao Zifeng who had always kept up with his training.
“You lil’ punk, just you wait, I’ll play you to death if it’s the last thing I do,” Wang Xing cursed as he clutched his wrist, but did not go looking for more trouble from Shao Zifeng.
After casting him a fleeting glance, Shao Zifeng put his cap on and walked out without looking back.
Once Shao Zifeng had left, the volume of conversation in the lobby increased somewhat, and some students who usually found Wang Xing annoying couldn’t help but show a schadenfreude grin.
“Tsk tsk, this captain from Su City University is something alright,” Qin Zhaoxu said, lifting his thermos to blow on it.
“Hmm,” Wang Xiao said, seeing no more drama to watch, and returned to his seat again.
Di Wushi absentmindedly stirred the already cooled coffee in her cup with a spoon, her thoughts unknown to anyone.
Grumbling, Wang Xing picked up his team uniform from the floor and pointed at everyone, “Laughing at what, motherfuckers? I swear whoever dares laugh, I’ll f**king kill you tonight.”
His reputation was indeed not undeserved, as with that utterance, the voices in the lobby really did quiet down a lot.
Wang Xing dusted off his team uniform and draped it back over his shoulder, glanced at Shao Zifeng’s departing figure, and with a smirk, walked into the elevator.
“Captain, did that guy dare to hurt you? We should’ve gone with you just now,” a team member said upon seeing Wang Xing holding his wrist as he entered the elevator, his face showing indignation.
Wang Xing’s mouth twitched into a smile, “No worries, I just felt like this qualifier is full of idiots, and it was getting a bit boring, wanted to find some fun.”
Another tall and skinny teammate then said, “So captain, did you find someone interesting?”
“Interesting?” Wang Xing’s mouth curled up, murmuring to himself, “Yeah, really interesting, I can’t wait to have a match with him.”
Thinking back to the flicker of fire in Shao Zifeng’s eyes before he left, Wang Xing felt every cell in his body trembling with excitement.
