Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 83

The QC team has always been known as the wealthy team in the competitive gaming circle, but today Shen Yunxing truly realized just how wealthy they were.

Firstly, the base’s area was much larger than other teams’, with each player having their own room, including the trainees. Secondly, the team had hired a high-level nutritionist to plan daily meals for the players. Lastly, each player had two sets of equipment, each worth over ten thousand yuan. It was simply extravagant.

After the group finished touring the base, Chen Liang led them straight to the training room. The elimination round was tomorrow, and they needed to improve their skills quickly. They started with group play and then moved on to individual matches against the twelve professional players in the team. After two rounds of games, everyone except Shen Yunxing and Jifeng was almost in tears from the beatdown.

“Today was just to see what positions and playstyles each of you are good at. Official training starts tomorrow,” Chen Liang clapped his hands and said, “Everyone go rest. Report to the training room at 7 AM tomorrow!”

Everyone nodded, “Got it, Captain Liang.”

After most people left, including the photographers, Chen Liang noticed that Shen Yunxing hadn’t left and thought he had changed his mind. With a look of delight, he said, “Changed your mind and decided to join our team? I knew no one could resist the lure of fifty thousand yuan.”

Shen Yunxing looked puzzled, “What fifty thousand yuan?”

“As long as you join our QC team and participate in training regularly, you can get a bonus of fifty thousand yuan per month.” Seeing his confused expression, Chen Liang was dumbfounded, “I didn’t tell you this?”

Shen Yunxing shook his head, “No, you didn’t.”

“Captain Liang, I don’t consider playing games just for fun, and I respect every eSports player. But for me, being a good actor is what I want to do the most.”

He paused before continuing, “Besides, my appearance fee for this show is one million.”

Chen Liang, who thought he was offering a lot, was speechless, “…”

Damn, celebrities make way too much money!

Feeling dejected, he waved his hand, “I get it. Go to sleep.”

“Captain Liang,” Shen Yunxing called out to him.

“What now?” Chen Liang, feeling defeated, said weakly.

“Can I go home tonight? My son is still young and cries when he doesn’t see me at night.”

Chen Liang: “… Go ahead, the kid is important.”

So young and already with a loving wife and child, living the dream life. And look at him, with nothing but a fifty-thousand-yuan bonus to live on each month. By the way, did last month’s bonus come in?

He pulled out his phone to check his balance, and seeing the newly deposited fifty thousand yuan, his grin nearly reached the back of his head.

“Why haven’t you left yet?” Opening the orange app, he noticed Shen Yunxing was still there.

Shen Yunxing rubbed his nose, “My family hasn’t arrived yet.”

“Your family? Your wife is picking you up?”

Shen Yunxing: “Uh, yeah.”

“Damn, your wife is so virtuous!” Talking about wives, Chen Liang put away the app and sat down, gossiping, “You and your wife have a good relationship, huh? She even picks you up from work.”

Shen Yunxing nodded, “We have a very good relationship. She dropped me off for the recording this morning too.”

“So your wife usually takes care of the child?”

Shen Yunxing continued nodding, “I help with the care, but he does most of it.”

“What about cooking and housework?”

“He cooks, I clean. If we’re both busy, we hire a housekeeper.”

Chen Liang nodded and asked, “Does your wife restrict your financial freedom? Does she frequently shop online for useless stuff?”

Shen Yunxing shook his head, “No, she doesn’t. His salary card is with me.”

Mr. Fu had given him the entire Fu Corporation. Calling it a salary card was an understatement, he thought.

“His salary card is with you?!” Chen Liang was incredulous.

“Brother, does your wife have any unmarried siblings? Please introduce me!”

Chen Liang, almost driven to insanity by his mother’s nagging about marriage, spoke with utmost sincerity, “I don’t need her to hand over her salary card, or to pick me up from work, or even to do housework and take care of the child. I just hope she understands us eSports players and doesn’t cheat on me behind my back!”

Cheat on him…

Shen Yunxing’s eyes widened slightly. Did he just hear some shocking gossip?

“Sorry, no siblings,” he said after a moment.

His phone rang—it was Mr. Fu calling.

“Captain Liang, my ride is here. I’ll leave now. See you tomorrow.” He patted the dejected Captain Liang on the shoulder in consolation before heading out.

When he got outside, he saw the car parked by the roadside and happily ran over.

“Gege, where’s Zhou Zhou?” He asked Mr. Fu after getting in and not seeing the baby.

Fu Tingzhou: “Tang Tang and Huai Jin came over for dinner, and they’re watching Zhou Zhou.”

Shen Yunxing nodded and stared at Mr. Fu’s profile in a daze on the way back.

“Gege, our Captain Liang said you’re very virtuous,” Shen Yunxing suddenly said as they passed a traffic light.

Fu Tingzhou was slightly stunned, then turned his head, looking at the young man’s smiling eyes with a gaze of helpless indulgence, “Remember to thank your Captain Liang for the compliment for me tomorrow.”

“Okay,” Shen Yunxing replied cheekily.

When the couple got home, Tang Che and Liu Huaijin were busy changing the baby’s diaper. The little one wasn’t very familiar with his two godfathers and kicked his little feet uncooperatively. The two were afraid of hurting the baby and didn’t dare to touch him, standing by and repeatedly saying, “Baby, be good,” hoping to soothe him.

But the little one wasn’t having it, babbling away, refusing to let his two godfathers touch him.

Hearing the door open, Tang Che sighed in relief, “You guys are finally back.”

“I’ll do it,” Shen Yunxing said with a smile after changing his clothes.

“Ah!” The little one heard the familiar voice, widened his bright eyes, and happily called out.

“Zhou Zhou, look who’s back?” Shen Yunxing said, skillfully changing his son’s diaper while teasing the little one, “Did our Zhou Zhou miss Daddy?”

“Wah!” The little one happily waved his chubby little hands.

“You did miss Daddy, huh? Zhou Zhou is so good; Daddy missed you too,” he said, kissing his son’s smooth little cheek with a smile.

“Didn’t expect Yunxing to be so good at soothing a child,” Tang Che commented.

Fu Tingzhou nodded, watching the interaction between the big and little one, a smile slowly forming on his lips.

“When I’m not home, he’s the one taking care of the baby.”

“Yunxing is still a kid himself, yet he’s already a qualified dad,” Liu Huaijin remarked.

After changing the diaper, Shen Yunxing walked around the living room with the baby. Little Zhou Zhou was very well-behaved in Daddy’s arms, not fussing at all, even cooing and babbling as he interacted with his dad, his expressions lively and amusing, making everyone laugh.

“Zhou Zhou, godfather is leaving,” Tang Che reached out to the little one before leaving, “Want to go with godfather? Godfather will buy you something tasty.”

“Ahhh!” The little one looked up at the ceiling, not responding at all.

“Tang, if you and Jin visit often, Zhou Zhou will get familiar with your voices and then let you hold him,” Shen Yunxing said with a smile.

“Alright, no need to see us out. We’re leaving now.”

After Tang Che and Liu Huaijin left, the couple soothed the baby to sleep, took turns showering, and then went to bed.

…

“Mr. Fu…” Shen Yunxing couldn’t help but call out as the man kissed him.

Fu Tingzhou chuckled softly, his forehead against the young man’s, his voice hoarse, “Why not call me Gege?”

Shen Yunxing instinctively licked his numb lips, and seeing the dark currents in the man’s eyes, his face and neck turned red.

“Gege…” He called softly, his hands pressed against the man’s chest.

“Mm.” Fu Tingzhou pecked the young man’s red lips, his voice even huskier than before, “Baby, I’m here.”

“Gege, I have to be on camera tomorrow. You can’t leave any marks on my neck,” he reminded, his face flushed.

Hearing this, Fu Tingzhou’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, “Alright.”

…

The next day was the 40-to-20 elimination round. Shen Yunxing was dropped off at the base early in the morning, just as everyone finished eating and was preparing for training.

“Yunxing, where did you go last night?” Su Yin, who couldn’t find him in the morning, asked.

Thinking about last night, a blush crept onto Shen Yunxing’s face. He quickly lowered his head, pretending to organize his equipment, and said calmly, “I went home.”

“Oh right, you’re a dad now. Zhou Zhou is still young; you do need to go home and check on him,” Su Yin said, nodding without overthinking it.

“Let’s not talk about this. I’m a bit nervous about today’s elimination round,” she said, finishing off a whole cup of water.

“Don’t be nervous; we can win,” Shen Yunxing reassured.

Su Yin winked at him, “With the god of sniping saying that, I’m at ease.”

After waiting for another half minute, Qiao Shiyu and Tian Xia arrived.

With everyone gathered, they began a morning of intense training—playing against the professional team to find the best strategy for their four-person squad and each person’s optimal position.

After being beaten down all morning, the twelve people almost lost confidence for the afternoon’s elimination match. Only then did Chen Liang step up and say, “Being able to hold your own against a professional team for so long is already impressive.”

With renewed confidence, the twelve rested and then headed to the competition venue with high spirits.

Before the match officially started, there was still the trash-talking segment.

“The match begins, and we’ll give you three shots,” Shen Yunxing pulled in all the aggro again, following the director’s hint.

As the game started, the Xingzhou team was indeed targeted…

“The director is so biased, why keep focusing on Yunxing?” Su Yin frowned after being sandwiched and killed five minutes into the game.

Luckily, all teammates were still alive. She muttered a complaint under her breath and then switched to Shen Yunxing’s perspective, watching intently.

“Star, there’s an enemy at your eight o’clock!” Tian Xia marked a spot where the enemy had shown up.

“No good, I’m in a blind spot,” Shen Yunxing quickly adjusted his strategy. “Brother Qiao, cover me. I’m going to the opposite building to find a new sniping spot.”

“Got it,” Qiao Shiyu said, throwing a smoke grenade in four directions.

In the lounge, the four captains couldn’t help but lock their perspectives on Shen Yunxing’s position.

Qin Tian shook his head. “Too impulsive. If they waited a bit longer, the enemy might have shown up.”

Chen Liang sat up straight. “They can’t wait. They’re surrounded by four teams. If they don’t find a breakthrough, they’ll easily be picked off.”

Just as he finished speaking, Gong Ye exclaimed with a mix of surprise and joy, “Shen Yunxing sniped Gu Ming and Ye Luoxue! That was a great shot!”

He then realized Gu Ming was in his own squad, making his expression complicated.

“Damn, this kid is too good. If he goes pro, our top sniper might lose his spot.”

The other three agreed wholeheartedly.

“Captain Liang, with such a good talent, didn’t you try to recruit him?” Xu Wen asked.

Chen Liang helplessly spread his hands. “I did, but he wouldn’t join.”

“Wouldn’t join? QC is known for being a rich team. Maybe you didn’t offer enough,” Qin Tian joked.

“No way,” Chen Liang covered his mic and lowered his voice, “He’s busy at home taking care of his baby.”

“What? He’s marri—” Xu Wen quickly covered his mic under Chen Liang’s warning glare, “This kid is married?”

“Yes, and the baby is almost two months old.”

The three looked at the teenager on the field, seriously competing, unable to imagine that this nineteen-year-old boy was already married with a child.

Twenty minutes later, the match was nearing its end. Four teams and six people remained on the field.

Shen Yunxing’s team had him and Qiao Shiyu left, while the other three teams each had one amateur player.

“According to our strategy, I’ll go out as bait, and you snipe,” Qiao Shiyu said.

Shen Yunxing nodded. “Be careful.”

The safe zone had only a row of houses and a small grove left for hiding. At this point, everyone was on high alert. If anyone exposed themselves, they would surely be shot.

To ensure his teammate’s safety, Shen Yunxing had to find the sniper positions before Qiao Shiyu’s level-three helmet got shot off, especially focusing on Gale.

Shen Yunxing held his breath, watching Qiao Shiyu. As soon as he jumped out, gunfire erupted from all directions. Amidst the shooting, Shen Yunxing first sniped Evening Wind, then repositioned, aiming at Gale.

Before this, Wu Hen had already been killed by Gale in the chaos.

Four players remained. Qiao Shiyu’s level-three armor and helmet were both destroyed, and he had barely any health packs left. He decided to use his last bit of health to lure out the enemy.

This time, Nan Ning’s patience ran out. He poked out to kill Qiao Shiyu but was instantly shot by Shen Yunxing, leaving him with just a sliver of health.

Gale also spotted Shen Yunxing’s position, but Shen Yunxing managed to pull back in time, preventing Gale from taking the kill.

“Nan Ning’s out of meds. I’ll finish him off, and Gale is yours,” said Qiao Shiyu, with his health only partially restored.

“Got it,” Shen Yunxing trusted his teammate’s skill, focusing on Gale.

With ten seconds left for the eighth poison circle to refresh, this meant no more safe zones would be available. Whoever had more health would be the final winner.

But clearly, both he and Gale weren’t the types to hide. They both chose to go on the offensive.

Coincidentally, they poked out almost simultaneously and fired at each other nearly at the same time.

Just as the outcome was about to be revealed, the live broadcast in the lounge abruptly stopped!

Gong Ye freaked out, “What the hell, why did it stop?!”

“Who won? They shot at almost the same time,” Xu Wen said, feeling anxious from not seeing the result.

When the four were called on stage and heard the host announce the result, the three were shocked, except for Chen Liang, who remained calm.

He knew that kid would definitely win.

“Well done!” Su Yin said, fist-bumping the three after the match.

The team competition ended, and next was the individual competition. The guests had half an hour to rest.

After a brief break, everyone quickly returned to the field.

As Shen Yunxing passed behind Evening Wind, he heard a sneer and paused.

“Team competition is about cooperation; individual competition is about skill,” Evening Wind said disdainfully, “Do you think you can beat me?”

“Really?” Shen Yunxing was puzzled, “If you’re so great, why did you hack an account to join an offline competition?”

“You—”

Wan Feng, feeling guilty, glanced around to see everyone busy adjusting their equipment, paying no attention to what was happening nearby. He turned his head to throw out a few more harsh words but realized that the person behind him had already disappeared.

“What’s wrong?” Su Yin asked when he finally came over.

“Nothing, just ran into a little thief.”

“A thief?” Su Yin was shocked. “A thief at the competition site?”

“Ah, the security already took care of it,” Shen Yunxing vaguely explained.

The countdown for the match began, and Su Yin had no chance to ask more questions, focusing all her attention on the game.

This round, Shen Yunxing’s playstyle was completely different. While others engaged in intense battles, he was hoarding health packs.

In the God’s Circle, he hoarded health packs.

When the poison circle came, he hoarded health packs.

Even as the final circle approached, he was still hoarding health packs.

“Captain Shen’s moves are a bit puzzling here. I’ve never seen anyone turn a shooting game into a doomsday hoarding simulation,” the host commented, bewildered.

The four captains and the eliminated players watching were also puzzled.

However, two minutes later, they understood what Shen Yunxing was up to.

“Oh, he’s baiting!” someone exclaimed as they saw him arranging the health packs in order inside a room. “But with his skills, he doesn’t need to bait.”

“I don’t get the big shots’ world.”

“Me neither.”

Indeed, Shen Yunxing was baiting, but the only fish he wanted to catch was Wan Feng.

He had gathered almost all the health packs on the map. No one would pass by a room full of health packs without taking a look, especially someone as confident in their skills as Wan Feng.

“Hey, buddy inside, share a couple of health packs with me, and I’ll let you into the final circle safely,” Wan Feng said, turning on the all-chat.

Shen Yunxing also turned on the all-chat, “Come and get them if you can.”

Wan Feng’s smile stiffened, “Shen Yunxing?”

Shen Yunxing replied, “Hi, how are you?”

Wan Feng: “…”

Damn it. No wonder he couldn’t find anyone after running around half the map. This guy was hiding and baiting.

He gritted his teeth and planned to jump through a window to take him down, but before he could get inside, a grenade was thrown right at his feet, exploding immediately.

He dodged quickly and tried entering from another direction.

But then, “Boom!” Another grenade exploded behind him.

Refusing to give up, he tried several doors and windows, only to be preemptively discovered and warned off with grenades each time.

Furious, Wan Feng realized he was being deliberately targeted. The other person had countless opportunities to kill him but didn’t, choosing to toy with him instead!

“Shen Yunxing! If you’re a man, come out and face me fa—”

“Bang—”

Before he could finish his sentence, he was gone.

[You have been killed by Xingzhou with a crossbow]

Seeing the kill notification pop up, Wan Feng nearly passed out in anger.

Five minutes later, the match ended. Shen Yunxing, obsessed with hoarding health packs, only secured fourth place, but he avenged himself from the past and felt quite satisfied.

“You’re really good. If you replaced that crossbow with any sniper rifle, I might not be able to beat you,” Gale said to Shen Yunxing after the match.

Passing by, Nan Ning remained silent, not taunting anymore. Instead, he focused more on training, his mindset significantly changing. He realized that Gale was right; Shen Yunxing was incredibly strong, constantly improving with daily training. It was a pity such a talented individual wasn’t a professional player.

…

After teammates were eliminated, new teams were reformed repeatedly until the fifth day of eliminations ended, and the strongest team emerged.

“Let’s congratulate the Xingzhou team, consisting of Shen Yunxing, Qiao Shiyu, Qin Yashuang, and Gale, for advancing to the final Glory Match!” the host announced excitedly.

In this match, Shen Yunxing was, unsurprisingly, the last one standing, killed by four professional team captains, earning the title of the best sharpshooter.

The most surprising thing was that the person presenting his award was Mr. Fu!

Fu Tingzhou replaced a handshake with a hug, embracing his boy under the spotlight.

“Baby, you did great. Both the baby and I are proud of you,” he whispered gently in Shen Yunxing’s ear.
