Randy went to purchase some equipment for the camping trip the day after tomorrow with his team members. When they arrived
at the sporting goods store, they separated to different sections of the store.
They had been resting these days after returning from Korea.
They didn’t play last match well. If Randy hadn’t break through the defending line in the last round, they would have lost. During
the match, their opponents were so close to destroying their turrets. Fortunately, their opponents were too focused on the turret
and didn’t notice that an enemy had escaped out of the siege. Their opponents were right in the middle of destroying tower and
traveling back and forth.
Then a giant GAMEOVER appeared on the screen.
Randy’s team won at last. But Randy was not very happy. He thought that the match would be a piece of cake but the real
situation was that they pulled through this very hard. They won it by strategies, not their strength.
After returning home, they found the video recording of the match on websites. Randy and his team members spent two days on
watching and studying the replay before Randy letting them out to have fun.
Randy had promised his team members a vacation after winning the match. So Janessa called asked him if he would like to
have some fun, Randy agreed immediately. They decided to go camping in the wild first, and have a bath at Forest Hot Spring
then.
Randy stood in front of the shelf for a while before pushing the cart forward. He needed a pair of shoes, a pair of trousers, a new
tent, a flashlight, and a hat.
Passing by a shelf, Randy saw several team members doing their shopping. He took a casual glance and saw many pairs of
sneakers. These guys were very lazy and only changed their shoes once a week. Randy had to name Wednesday as the
laundry day for shoes in case their foot got stinky. All their shoes would be washed and dried in the store.
Now, Randy was confused why they bought so many shoes in one go. What was more, some of them even picked some clothes
in their cart.
Randy pushed the cart forward in confusion. He had OCD and must shop according to the sequence of goods on his shopping
list. Even when what he needed was right in front of him, Randy would not take it until it was its turn. The sequence of the goods
listed on the list was very important to him.
Randy came to pick some shoes and saw Lord Top. She was trying a pair of shoes on with Urchin and Wink standing aside.
Seeing him come over, both of them shouted, “Captain Randy.”
Lord Top only nodded at Randy. She looked at the pair of climbing shoes under her feet in the mirror. She was quite satisfied
with its warmth and coziness.
Strangely, even since they returned from Korea, Lord Top was very energetic all the time. From the moment she got off the
plane, she was no longer in a tired state like the other team members were. Everyone went straight to their rooms to rest but
Lord Top would still sit in the training room at night, playing games with headphones.
Randy had stood behind Lord Top and watched her play. Lord Top was in a much better state than in Korea.
Although Randy really wanted to scold Lord Top, he restrained himself from doing so as he recalled that Lord Top caught a cold
in Korea and felt unwell.
In the past few days, Lord Top worked well with other teammates. They had established some tacit understanding and played
smoothly. If they could keep such cooperation in the match, it would be great.
Therefore, in order to prevent others from being sick suddenly, Randy decided that everyone should exercise for half an hour
every day, and drink some ginger soup to ward off the coldness.
If it were summer, team members might be more willing to follow such an order. But in such a freezing cold winter, everyone
wanted to sleep more. Moreover, all team members, including Randy, were not a fan of sports. A hundred meters was already a
long run for them.
However, when Randy gave the order this time, no one raised any objections or complaints. They were very active in this. Every
day, all the treadmills in the activity room were full, and some of them had to ride the gravity bicycle. Some even chose to do
another 20 sit-ups and push-ups daily.
Of course, all the members were active except the one standing in front of him, Lord Top.
“Do you like it?” Randy asked, “I’ll buy it for you.”
Lord Top nodded and said, “No need.”
“It’s nothing.” It was common for Randy to give gifts to his team members. Plus it was just a pair of shoes.
Lord Top frowned slightly, then walked towards his cart and pointed at the two shoe boxes inside. “Someone has given me two
pairs of shoes. I just want to buy one myself.”
Randy became speechless.
He had almost forgotten that Lord Top was more popular than he was.
At the side, Wink and Urchin scratched their heads embarrassedly.
It was already nine o’clock in the night when the group finished shopping. Everything was stored in the shop. Randy left an
address and phone number, asking the shop to deliver all the goods tomorrow afternoon to their place. Then, he left with the
team members.
It was a cold night. A group of people shrunk their necks in the clothes and walked back. Randy looked at the watch and
suggested, “How about a late meal?”
The group of people actually turned to look at Lord Top. The latter was lowering her head and walking. Hearing this, she
subconsciously nodded. Only then did the others turn to look at Randy and said.
“Okay!”
Randy thought to himself. ‘Why did you look at him first? Do you think I didn’t notice this?’
“What would you like to eat? Barbecue or hotpot?” Randy asked.
Some team members even directly turned to ask Lord Top whose head was lowered down. “Lord Top, what do you want to eat?”
“Hot pot.” Lord Top replied.
“Then hot pot it is!” The other team members immediately turned to look at Randy, “Captain Randy, let’s eat hotpot!”
Randy felt that he might soon lose his title of the captain.
