Chapter 191 - International Competition
Chapter 191: International Competition
Every skier had heard of WG since it was a world-class skiing competition.
Even though it was not an official competition, it was more well known than any other official competition.
The contestants had absolute freedom and even had to sign a waiver agreement. The ski track far surpassed international standards in terms of difficulty.
There were no rules in this competition, making it a sheer clash of talent.
A lot of professional skiers who had won a lot of prizes in their careers would take part in this competition after they stopped competing for a taste of ultimate adrenalin.
All the contestants of WG were top international skiers.
WG was also known as the battle between gods.
Qin Lei was deeply annoyed by Want Tian’s demands. Only the best skiers in the world took part in this competition. To begin with, hardly any local skiers had ever competed in the competition, but Wang Tian expected Mu Sheng to come in champion.
Qin Lei felt it was an impossible feat, and Wang Tian was clearly trying to be difficult.
“Then my hands are tied.” Wang Tian shrugged. “I gave you an option, but you say you can’t do it. Also, I hope you remember that little bet we made last year.”
Wang Tian used unscrupulous means to take over as team captain, so Qin Lei made a bet with Wang Tian in a fit of anger.
If Wang Tian was able to come in champion during the international competition, Qin Lei would leave the skiing industry for good.
Wang Tian had surprisingly found an exceptionally talented new skier and was in the lead.
The bet was public knowledge, so everyone turned to look at Qin Lei sadly. From the looks of it, Qin Lei was going to lose the bet.
“Pftt,” sneered Wang Tian before he stood up. “I don’t want to waste my time on you. If she can come in as champion at WG, she is welcome to join the national team. Otherwise, you can forget it.”
The moment he finished his sentence, Wang Tian turned to leave. Qin Lei was livid.
“Lei, if you leave, we will come with you.”
“That’s right. How could we let him have his way? Don’t worry.”
Everyone comforted Qin Lei one after another.
“How could you say that?” Qin Lei frowned as he looked at his team members. “You have gone through countless tests and training before you could join the national team. You are not allowed to quit rashly. Even if you leave one day, it has to be an honorable departure with people cheering for you while you are at it!”
Everyone lowered their head quietly. They couldn’t help feeling emotional after hearing what Qin Lei said.
He was very happy when he found someone as good as Mu Sheng. Since Mu Sheng did not have a history of skiing professionally, she was unable to join the team. Wang Tian kept using the acceptance standards to stop her from joining, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Qin Lei could not imagine Mu Sheng winning anything at WG. She wouldn’t know what to expect at WG since only world-class skiers took part in the competition.
“Sigh.” Qin Lei looked out the window at the ski track.
Perhaps he would genuinely have to leave this time.

Mu Sheng had been watching a lot of videos about snacks of late.
After watching the videos, she wanted to try them. Although Li Hanchen scolded Mu Sheng for eating unhealthy food, he still came home with all the snacks she wanted.
The moment she heard a noise coming from the yard, Mu Sheng knew Li Hanchen was back. Also, he must have bought those cupcakes she wanted.
Mu Sheng walked up to the door to see Li Hanchen already standing there.
Li Hanchen suppressed the smile on his face when he saw how excited she was. “I didn’t get them.”
Mu Sheng did not buy it. Li Hanchen always kept his word. Since he had agreed to do it in the afternoon, he was bound to deliver on his promise when he got back.
Since they lived together, the boundaries between them had already blurred. Mu Sheng went over and checked Li Hanchen’s coat pockets.
Before long, she found a box of cupcakes with a few pieces of chocolate beneath it.
Mu Sheng took out the box and sat on the couch to open it.
Li Hanchen smiled when he saw how trusting Mu Sheng was. “Is it good?”
Mu Sheng took a bite. It was sweet, but not overpowering, and tasted like strawberry. She nodded and said, “Uh huh.”
“Let me try it,” said Li Hanchen as he sat down beside Mu Sheng. He looked at Mu Sheng’s hand deeply. “I think they only gave me one spoon.”
Auntie Lin was wiping the table nearby when she automatically wanted to say there were more spoons in the kitchen.
However, she suppressed the urge. She glanced at Li Hanchen before taking the rag and quietly going back to the kitchen.
Mu Sheng glanced at the cake. Since they already lived under one roof, she did not have a problem with sharing a spoon, so she placed some cake in her used spoon and handed it to him. “Here you go.”
Li Hanchen glanced at the cake before looking at Mu Sheng.
His hands moved a little as they lay on his thighs. He really wanted to touch the silly girl’s head. How could Mu Sheng be so dumb?
He was just saying it randomly. After all, he was not a fan of sweet food.
He could not contain the urge to rub Mu Sheng’s head and said, “You are so stupid.”
Mu Sheng felt puzzled. “Don’t you want it?”
“Of course.” Li Hanchen took the spoon and ate the cupcake.
It was the first time Li Hanchen had eaten this in over ten years. Even though he thought the cupcake tasted awful and found it too sweet, it felt warm in his heart.
Auntie Lin pretended to come out and wipe the tables 30 minutes later. Only Li Hanchen remained on the couch, and he appeared to be in an exceptionally good mood.
Auntie Lin could not help feeling impressed. Had Li Hanchen ever acted this way before? Even though Auntie Lin had worked for him for years, she could not believe her eyes.
Mu Sheng did her live telecast as usual that night. Thanks to her beauty, her rising viewership rose exponentially.
“Good evening,” greeted Mu Sheng as usual. However, no one cheered when she said hi.
People had started arguing on her channel again.
This time, people were saying Mu Sheng was cheating. Despite showing her face and proving herself, the public remained suspicious and felt she must have done something and cheated.
The people who used to doubt Mu Sheng were her viewers and non-gaming professionals. This time, God Lang from Tiger Shark and a coach from a champion gaming team stepped forward and accused Mu Sheng of cheating.
Since he had groomed a champion team, his words held a lot of weight in the gaming industry.
In an instant, the viewers wavered and were unsure whether to believe Mu Sheng.
Meanwhile, a huge argument had broken out across the ocean among the Chinese national gaming team.
