Wei Xiao was trampled by the husky and let out a grunt. He even started to
have thoughts of murder. “Down!”
The dog had long been used to its master’s bad temper when he got out of
bed, and used its claws to dig him out. Wei Xiao’s black hair that was
spread messily beneath the quilt was revealed, followed by his pale cheeks,
the black circles under his eyes from staying up late, and the murderous
aura hovering over his entire body.
The dog was completely oblivious as it butted against him with its head.
Wei Xiao’s neck was itchy from the scratchy fur, “How did Laozi raise up a
doggy thing like you?!”
The real doggy thing whined and kicked up a fuss, wanting to go outside.
Wei Xiao pummeled the dog on the head in anger, but he unfortunately
couldn’t bear to use any real strength. The husky thought that its owner was
teasing it and panted as it got even closer with its tongue. Wei Xiao couldn’t
take it anymore, lifted up the quilt, and got out of bed.
He was only wearing a pair of shorts, his exposing legs that were both long
and straight. His figure was thin but not frail, and because he was young, it
was full of a youthful teenage vigor.
“I only slept for three hours. Soybean, you better be quick.”
He casually pulled on a pair of pants, tugged on a sweater, and picked up

the leash, holding down the restless dog and leashing it carefully before
taking it outside.
This was the one disadvantage of raising a dog. They had to be taken out
early in the morning so that they could solve their physiological problems,
which was exceedingly unkind for someone like Wei Xiao who had his days
and nights flipped upside down.
The cold wind blew straight towards his neck as soon as he went out, and
Wei Xiao was so chilled that his sleepiness disappeared completely. The
urge in his heart to stew a dog kept increasing.
Were huskies tasty?
Soybean sensed its owner’s ‘love’ and let its tongue loll out as it wagged its
tail.
Wei Xiao gave up on the idea.
This dog couldn’t be stewed. Eating it would reduce his intelligence!
He was bored and took out his phone to idle away the time while the dog
dealt with its physiological problems.
It was freezing outside, and he hid both of his hands in his sleeves. Only the
index finger of his right hand peeked out to draw on the screen.
He’d fallen asleep as soon as he hit the bed last night and hadn’t logged out
of his accompanied gaming platform account. At this time, his account had
received a lot of messages.
“200 a game?”
“One game is half an hour, 400 yuan
an hour? Why don’t you just go rob a bank?!”
“Look at the market price, okay, other accompanied players only charge 15
yuan a game! What makes you worth such a high price!”
Wei Xiao was an accompanying player for hire. What was an

accompanying player? It was having a boss pay you to accompany them,
chat with them, and help them increase their ranking, the full set. It could
also be considered an offshoot of the gaming industry, except that the
money that could be made was rather small, where one match was only ten
or so yuan. Anyone with a little more ambition had already gone off to be a
live streamer.
Wei Xiao’s lips curved slightly. Even if he was only poking at the keyboard
with a single finger, it didn’t affect the speed of his typing. He’d already
finished replying in the blink of an eye.
“I’m the king of the jungle, king of mages, a king who can do it all. You
won’t be making a loss at 200 yuan, and you can’t get scammed at this
price!”
“It doesn’t need to take half an hour. If boss is in a hurry, I can blow up the
other side’s dog head in ten minutes.”
“Why is it so expensive? I don’t know either, perhaps it’s because I’m

handsome?”
The messages had been sent out at three or four o’clock in the morning. It
had been over two hours since then, and nobody would be there to reply.
Even so, Wei Xiao was an accompanying player who was dedicated to good
service and worked hard. Messages from bosses naturally needed to be
answered carefully.
The husky whined slightly, and Wei Xiao suppressed the urge to kill the dog
and dealt with the follow up. The dog still wanted to go out to the park and
play, but Wei Xiao had already been pushed to his limits and dragged it
back to the apartment instead.
The youth who didn’t exercise at all and would lay down if he didn’t have
to sit relied completely on the exercise involved in having to drag the dog
around in order to work out his biceps!
After returning home with much difficulty and closing the security gate
behind him, there was no trace of sleepiness left in Wei Xiao.
He took off his clothes and went to take a shower. After coming back out,
he went to the refrigerator to pick up a piece of bread and pour out some
dog food for Soybean, “Ah, you, you’re more expensive to raise than your
dad!”
The son of a dog chuffed as it ate happily.
Wei Xiao: “……
In this world, people were really inferior to dogs.
Wei Xiao finished off the cold piece of bread and sat down in front of the
computer.
It was better to play games than sleep––an internet addict’s vocabulary was
filled with this phrase.
There was only one icon on the empty computer screen desktop. A small
little icon of a soldier’s back shrouded by a ray of sacred light, the image
solemn and resolute, with one word written beneath it––Glory.
A multiplayer online competitive game that had been popular for over a
decade and was still at the peak of online gaming.
Wei Xiao logged into the game, and the first thing to pop up was a video.
The video title was extremely eye-catching––
Congratulations to Close (Lu Feng) for winning the 2020 World

Championship!
Four consecutive championships!
Close fully deserved the title of being the first in the world!
The video clip was taken from the game. A thief whose game operations
were at the ultimate peak used a backstab at critical health to counterattack
and take down the opponent. After that, the screen cut away from the game.
Beneath the bright stage lights was a man wearing a black team uniform.
He was tall, his eyes and eyebrows cold. He was clearly holding a trophy
that represented the highest glory and standing there on the supreme stage,
enjoying the applause and praise of thousands, but his face was
expressionless.
This handsome face that had been praised up to the heavens by the fans
didn’t even show the tiniest outflow of emotion.
The video came with its own scrolling comments.
[ Close is amazing! Close is legendary! Close is the end to everything! ]
[ God Lu won the championship again and again and again! He’s really too
damned strong! ]
[ Number one in China, Number one in the world, winning honor for the
country, goddamn! ]
[ Stop overpraising, alright? Isn’t it shameful, isn’t it embarrassing? Is an

individual competition championship even considered a real champion? ]
[ Haha, only Close is amazing out of the whole of China. If he really has the
ability, then he should take his team to the global finals and win a real
championship! ]
[ Leaving now, leaving now, the fans are going to start hating again, saying
that their God Lu can’t carry so many people, and that there’s no way to win
nine against one. In any case, it’s always his teammates that suck, and the
Chinese competition zone that sucks, and only Close himself is good! ]
The scrolling comments were packed densely enough to block out the man
in the video completely.
Wei Xiao tsked, his long and slender fingers moving over the keyboard. The
sounds from the mechanical keyboard weren’t loud, but words came out
pouring out like a flood.
[ Close made his debut in FTW at the age of 17 and won the first world
championship for the team competition; at 18, he took on a difficult task at
a critical time and led FTW to become the only team from China to leave
the Asian competition zone and enter the global team competitions. In the
eight to four semi-finals, Close took his thief and showed off until the
previous champion sese’s scalp was numb, and in the second match, Close
used a death knight to salvage the situation and turn the tide. In the third
match… ]
He quickly and fluently wrote out hundreds of words, and because the
number of words for each message was limited in the scrolling comments,
he sent them in sections and filled up the screen skillfully and
professionally, making even Close’s senior, hardcore fans feel inferior.
The haters still wanted to hate, but unfortunately, they couldn’t keep up
with Wei Xiao’s typing speed. Secondly, their ‘historical knowledge’ wasn’t
as rich as Wei Xiao’s, and they received ten sentences back for every one
sentence they sent out. The haters only felt that there were millions of
people sitting on the other side, each holding a machine gun and
bombarding them until their scalps turned numb.
After purifying the scrolling comments, Wei Xiao happily closed the video
and started to queue up for ranked matches.
was a typical tower pushing game. There were ten players split into two
teams, and blowing up the other side’s home base signified the end of the
match.
As a 5v5 game, it was reasonable to say that it was only a team game
competition. However, because Glory specifically tested a player’s
operation and consciousness as well as the way an individual used their
profession’s talent points, equipment, and so on, there were also single and
double competitions.
Taking the global competition as an example, the prize for the individual
(single) championship was 2 million USD, the doubles championship prize
was 3 million USD, and the team competition championship’s prize could
go as high as 30 million USD.
Based on the amount of money, it could be seen that the team competition
was the real motherload.
It was a pity that China hadn’t even managed to enter the global finals
during the past two years, let alone win the championship.
Only Close, as a god-level player from China, had won three consecutive
championships in the global singles.
China always liked to say that he had won four consecutive championship
titles because his first championship had been in the team competition.
It was a world championship that not only belonged to Close, but also
belonged to the entire FTW team and the entire China competition zone!
However, three years had already passed…
China hadn’t won another global team competition championship cup.
Wei Xiao was queued into a match and entered the character selection
screen. His mind was full of the thief that Lu Feng used in the video, and he
selected it without thinking twice.
Someone immediately spoke up on the team communication channel.
“Little big brother, don’t toy with me. Thieves are so weak these days.
Other than God Lu, who else can show off with it?”
“Don’t get overexcited from watching a video. Your thief and Close’s thief
are like two completely different creatures.”
“Wake up, brother, we’re not professional players!”
Wei Xiao typed out a few words on his keyboard, “Lie down well.”
The team channel was silent for three seconds before someone began to
chant––
“The cows are flying…”
“The people on the ground are blowing.”
“Acting like the wind…”
“Blowing until their face hurts.”
Wei Xiao moved his fingers and knocked out another line of words, “Don’t
worry. I’ve won against Close before with a thief.”
Won against God Lu?
Why don’t you say that you’ve saved the galaxy!
Four people who had never met each other across the internet all spoke at
the same time, “Brother, can you be a little less shameless?!”
Twenty minutes later, the expressions of these four people were fantastical,
and the style of the conversation in the team channel suddenly changed––
“Little big brother, ah, no, big god, are you lacking in leg accessories? The
kind that will lie down to rank up and won’t chatter and talk crap.”
“Big god, are you short on supports? I can play druid, shaman, or priest,
and guarantee that your health doesn’t drop at all so that you can kill as you
like.”
“F*ck me, this kind of battle achievement, this isn’t Close’s alt, right!?”
Wei Xiao took the opportunity to advertise: “Memeda accompanying player

ID7758521. Waiting for bosses to place their orders~”
The four teammates: “????”
This godly, amazing thief was actually an accompanying player?
An accompanying player with a sky-high, amazing price.
They’d originally wanted to make an appointment, but when they saw the
high price of 200 yuan a game, they silently said goodbye.
What the hell was this, 200 a game?!
Why didn’t he just go up to heaven!
After playing a match, Wei Xiao was a little sleepy again.
He couldn’t help it; there was no suspense in the entire process of crushing
his opponents and playing just made him sleepy.
Wei Xiao shut the dog outside of his room and was about to go back to
sleep when his cell phone beeped.
Oh, he’d forgotten to log out of his platform account. Had someone else left
a message?
Wei Xiao casually swiped it open and found that someone had placed an
order for him.
Was there really someone who would place an order for him for 200 yuan a
game other than those beasts in the professional league?
Wei Xiao looked at it intently and fell into a daze.
Customer LU has ordered 10,000 games. Would you like to accept the
order~
10,000 games?
Wei Xiao rubbed his eyes, counting carefully, then counting again. There
were four zeroes. It was indeed ten thousand games.
200 yuan a game.
The 2 million yuan was shiny and dazzling.
Juurensha: I see Close is using his prize money well.
xiin: oookay, so i fell into another pit no regrets! this novel is super fun,
super hilarious, and super sweet.
it’s about competitive e-sports, but don’t let that scare you away!! the novel
will explain the gaming system, but any beginner gamer reader will be able
to understand (for parts that might be confusing, i’ll try to add footnotes
even though i hate them… or if not, ask in the comments!) and it’s
generally like any modern MOBA game.
the other thing i wanted to say… there’s a lot of fun slang in this novel.
some of it translates well into english, and some might be weird. i’ve tried
to add footnotes where things might need explanations but sometimes
they’re obscure and i might be wrong or unclear. feel free to ask! or tell me
i’m wrong! i won’t mind~
in any case, enjoy!

Ch2 - Two hundred per game,
accompanying you until dawn
The other party was still online. Wei Xiao sent them a private message,
“Boss, did you accidentally input another zero?”
To be really honest, Wei Xiao himself was dazzled by the neat and tidy row
of six zeroes.
The other party replied back very quickly, treating words like gold, “No.”
Wei Xiao’s mind was filled with incredulity, “You want me to accompany
you for ten thousand games?”
LU: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “…………”
He put down his cell phone, stood up, and opened the door––
Soybean pounced on him with a whine. Wei Xiao caught its head, then
rubbed and kneaded it until the dog’s fur stuck out in all directions.
Wei Xiao: “Yep, it’s not a dream.”
Soybean: “Ao?”
Wei Xiao tossed aside the silly husky and closed the door with a bang. His
cold and ruthless manner was just like that of a scum man who would
refuse to acknowledge knowing the other party as soon as he was done with
them.
Soybean, whose doggy nose bumped against the door: “Arooarooaroo?”

He wasn’t dreaming. It was real. There was really a silly fool, ah, no, it was
a boss who’d spent two million to play ten thousand games with him!
“F*ck!”
Wei Xiao calmed down and felt a stab of pain. The platform charged a 10%
handling fee. Hadn’t he just lost 200,000 yuan in the blink of an eye?!
A full two hundred thousand yuan!
It cost 28 yuan for a skin. That was enough to buy 7142 of them!
Wei Xiao bore with the pain that cut into his skin and asked, “So, may I ask
if I’ve played with you before?”
Wei Xiao had been an accompanying player for such a long time, but he’d
never used such a warm tone with his customers before. If any of his
previous ‘customers’ heard this, there was a 80% chance that they would
vomit out three liters of blood.
LU: “No.”
Wei Xiao: “You bought so many games with me all at once without having
played together with me before?”
LU: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao’s face was full of confusion. What did ‘Mm’ mean? There were a
lot of hidden meanings behind this word.
He asked patiently, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll trick you?”
LU: “No.”
“What if my skills suck?”
“You can do it.”
“You believe me just like that?”

“Mm.”
Wei Xiao’s face was mystified. He asked the question that was in his heart,
“Why?”
Lu: “Mm?”
Wei Xiao: “I mean, why did you choose me?”
The other party paused for a moment, then gave a reason that caused Wei
Xiao to lose control over his expression, “Because you’re expensive.”
Wei Xiao: “What?”
This Mister LU was as calm as before, “You get what you pay for.”
Wei Xiao was lost for three seconds, then asked, “Aren’t you worried that
the price won’t match the goods?”
LU didn’t type words this time. Instead, he sent him a screenshot of Wei
Xiao’s self-introduction––
King of the jungle, king of mages, a king who can do it all. You won’t be
making a loss, and you can’t get scammed at this price!!
Wei Xiao: “………………”
It had never, ever occurred to him that God Wei, who could tear apart the
haters on the internet and suppress the haters in the game, would one day be
left speechless and unable to answer.
“Then…” Wei Xiao asked tentatively, “Let’s play a match?”
LU: “No rush.”
Eh? You’re not in a hurry to play after spending two million yuan to find an
accompanying player?
Wei Xiao: “When will Boss be free?”

LU: “1:30 PM.”
Wei Xiao looked at the time. It was now seven o’clock, so he could still
sleep for another six hours. Great.
“See you at 1:30.”
LU: “OK.”
After exiting the chat interface, Wei Xiao held his cellphone in his hand and
spaced out for a while.
Sleeping could go to hell!
How could he sleep when something so big had happened?!
Wei Xiao tabbed out of the accompanying gaming platform, opened up

WeChat, held down the voice key, and started to speak quickly, “Goddamn,
Old Bai, I was just sitting at home and money fell down from the sky! I
don’t know which little cutie used two million to buy ten thousand matches
with me! And they placed the order directly on the platform, with no
hesitation, no delay, no trial game, directly hitting me in the face with two
million. I really never thought that this would happen to me one day. So it
turns out that being a sugar baby feels like this! I don’t want to fight
anymore, I just want to accompany this boss for a lifetime. Oh, do you think
I’ll get lucky and really meet a cute girl? Hey, there’s nothing else to say,
I’m going to propose!”
Old Bai’s surname was Bai, his name Cai, and his nickname was Brother
Cai.
Bai Cai and Wei Xiao had known each other for a long time. The two of
them had a relationship at the level where they had shared upper and lower
bunk beds as early as when the two of them were in the youth training
camp.
Two years later, Wei Xiao, who was once the king of rookies was now an
accompanying player who couldn’t go up on stage, and Bai Cai, who had
been the king of rookies’ exclusive support had leapt up into the first-line
team FTW and become a teammate of the Great Demon King Lu Feng, the
four-time world champion.
This difference between heaven and earth was really enough to make
people sigh in regret.
However, Brother Cai didn’t want to laugh over it. He just wanted to
shush––
F*ck, he was about to pee his pants from fear!
“It’s Wei Xiao?”
This deep voice, which fans firmly believed could make them pregnant just
by hearing it, rang out by Bai Cai’s side…
He wasn’t pregnant, but he was soon about to miscarry!!!
“Ye, yes.”
Bai Cai looked at this thirty second long voice message and prayed
sincerely: Old Wei, you’d better not have spouted any nonsense!
Lu Feng: “What did he say.”
Bai Cai: “This…”
Lu Feng’s eyelids lifted slightly, “Inconvenient?”
Bai Cai gave a start. His hand moved faster than his brain and had already
clicked open the voice message––
“Goddamn, Old Bai… little cutie… sugar baby… for a lifetime… cute
girl… I’m going to propose!”
Bai Cai: “………”

What was the point in praying, he just needed to think for a moment to
know that this beast who never censored his mouth would never say
anything normal!
He even used little cutie, cute girl, and going to propose, Wei Xiao, you’re a
reincarnated firework, right? You want to go up to heaven every day!
Old Bai thought about how he still had a bit of a revolutionary friendship
with this guy and prepared to save him a little, “About that…”
He fell into a daze even before he finished speaking.
What the hell?
F*ck!
Close smiled!
The Great Demon King smiled!
The man who was expressionless on the stage of the finals when he won the
world championship cup was actually smiling!
It wasn’t that obvious of a smile, and only the corners of his mouth were
raised. The smile was very light, but it still managed to touch that pair of
deep black eyes.
Bai Cai felt a stab of pain. If he took a photo of this, Lu Feng’s wife fans,
madame fans, girlfriend fans, might make him an income of a hundred
million!
What a pity, he only had the brain to make money, but not the guts to
actually do it.
“Not replying?” Lu Feng asked him.
Bai Cai put away his ‘evil thoughts’ and hurriedly said, “No, if I reply to
him at this time, I might end up beating the grass and scaring the snake.”
Seven o’clock in the morning for e-sports players was the same as two or
three o’clock in the morning for ordinary people. It would be suspicious if
they weren’t still sleeping at this time.
Lu Feng thought about it, “True, let him sleep.”
Was it because he wrote too many short stories? How come he always felt
that things were a little weird?!
Lu Feng didn’t say anything further and turned to go upstairs. Bai Cai let
out a huge sigh of relief and collapsed like a rag in his chair.
Sorry, ah, Old Wei, it’s not that your brother sold you out, it’s really an
unexpected event after unexpected event, it’s all accidental!
Fine, he admitted that he was a little bit in the wrong. He really shouldn’t
have been ‘pimping’ in the training base.
This matter had to be explained from last night––
A new team member had joined FTW this year, a rebellious youth named
Ning Zhehan who had dyed his hair granny grey. He was a mid-lane player.
had already accumulated over ten years of experience in e-sports and had
long developed a mature training system for its professional players.
The most authoritative training system was the youth training camp that
was jointly established by the various clubs. It would hold trials every off-
season; two years ago, Wei Xiao had been the rookie king. This year, it was
Ning Zhehan.
This kid had some skills. He looked rash and impulsive, but in fact, he had
a stable play style and could advance and retreat when needed. He could
switch freely between mage assassins and fortress gunners, and had a strong
level of adaptability.
As soon as the youth training camp ended, the teams would all start to fight
over the newcomers, and FTW ultimately signed him at a sky-high price of
3 million.
A rookie going for such a high price was enough to prove how good he
was.
Ning Zhehan was an eighteen year old youth. Having been praised and
complimented in such a way, it was inevitable that he would become
overconfident. When he came to FTW, he really believed that he could win
glory for his country and come back with the world championship cup.
Yet as a result, two days after joining the team, Ning Zhehan became
dispirited and passive.
In nine training games, he was an existence that totally dragged everyone

back. He couldn’t keep up with the rhythm, and his game consciousness
was poor. Even the technique and skill that he was most proud of was so
vulnerable it couldn’t stand up to a single blow against the four-time
champion Great Demon King.
How could there be such a powerful person? How could there be an

existence that went against the heavens like this?
They both had two hands. How could the gap be so big!
Ning Zhehan’s granny gray hair lost its luster, and he was really about to
become an old granny.
Bai Cai had seen it all before. Over the years, how many talented players
had flung themselves over to join FTW and then gone off into seclusion
after being beaten flat?
It wasn’t that he was exaggerating, but God Lu hadn’t even been trying his
best. If he really let himself go, perhaps only the big guys at the top of the
League would be able to keep up with his rhythm.
Oh… and the Wei Xiao from two years ago.

Unfortunately, that beast didn’t play in the professional circles.
In any case, Ning Zhehan couldn’t do it. Don’t judge based on how both of
them were rookie kings.
These years, Bai Cai had developed a psychological shadow towards rookie
kings. Although it was a bit miserable for an eighteen year old youth to go
into seclusion, he didn’t want to go comfort him and acted as though he
hadn’t seen anything.
Who could’ve known that even though he ignored him, this child would
take the initiative to come find him? “Brother Cai, I heard that…”
His words were faltering, and he was extremely awkward.
Bai Cai understood as soon as he heard this, but he deliberately pretended

not to understand, “Hm? What did you hear?”
Ning Zhehan hesitated to speak.
Bai Cai patted him on the shoulder and said, “Don’t think too much about
it. It’s just a few training games, it’s fine to lose.”
But the problem was that they’d lost because of him. Ning Zhehan’s face
turned white.
Bai Cai was still smiling broadly, seemingly unaware of how distressing his
words were.
Ning Zhehan bit down on his lower lip and steeled himself to say, “I heard
that you know a god-level training partner.”
“It’s not that extreme.” Bai Cai waved his hand, “He’s an accompanying
player, not some god-level anything.”
Ning Zhehan was very serious, “But he’s defeated 90% of the professional
players in the League. Even the vice-captain of the TPT team is one of his
defeated opponents!”
Bai Cai muttered, “About that…”
Ning Zhehan was no longer as awkward now that he’d said it out loud. He
even seemed to yearn for it, “I heard about his legend when I was in the
youth training camp––nobody knows his name, and nobody has seen him
before. Nobody knows his real identity, but everyone knows that he’s a
behind-the-scenes powerful player in the China competition zone.
Countless players have grown and improved under his hands, and countless
vice-captain and even team captains figured out their play styles after
experiencing his tempering…”
Bai Cai’s teeth ached when he heard this. Although it was true, once he
thought about how all of this was about that boy Wei Xiao…
He didn’t deserve it!
Ning Zhehan spoke firmly, “Brother Cai, can you contact him for me? I
want to grow!”
Bai Cai thought to himself: I think you want to inflict self-harm on

yourself!
“He’s really just an accompanying player.” Bai Cai sighed and stressed,
“One who takes money to play with you.”
Ning Zhehan: “Eh?”
Bai Cai hadn’t repeated the fact that he was an accompanying player for
nothing. He was really trying to say the key point, “Two hundred per game,
accompanying you until dawn.”
Ning Zhehan: “………”
juurensha: Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match, Brother Cai! xiin:

read the latest chapter and couldn’t resist updating… releases will be
‘sporadic’ (aka as fast as i can TL and my wonderful editors can edit) until
we settle into a schedule~
Ch3 - Kiss kiss me, I love you
Ning Zhehan’s heated blood cooled down a lot. There were many legends
about the god level accompanying player, about how he was the ‘One Lamp
Grandmaster’ of the e-sports world, a godly player who’d broken through
the professional player world, and how winning him was the same as
winning against the Great Demon King…
There was no mention of money in the legends.
However, from another perspective, an accompanying player was good too,

or even a trainer. They all needed to be able to feed themselves, and
charging a fee was normal!
Ning Zhehan’s awe of the ‘grandmaster’ became a little more personal and
cordial, “That’s fine!”
It was good to have the bill settled for goods that were delivered. Nobody
would owe anyone!
Bai Cai: “200 a match refers to solo (1v1).”
Ning Zhehan: “Of course!”
Professional players sought out One Lamp Grandmaster in order to hone

their personal strength. There were more things that needed to be
considered in team competitions, but the Grandmaster was only one person.
There was no way for him to do those.
Bai Cai smiled slightly, “Okay. I’ll contact him for you.”
At this time, Ning Zhehan only felt that Brother Cai was smiling like an old
fox, but he hadn’t yet realized how much his wallet would suffer.
After the first game…
Ning Zhehan was baffled, “This, this is so…”
He couldn’t even use any strong words. This was simply too abnormal!
A 1v1 confrontation was different from 5v5. After the game began, both
players would enter a long map, each guarding their own resurrection
crystal, and start fighting as soon as they left their base.
In common solo matches, the players would give each other a little
opportunity to develop, build up their talent points and equipment, and wait
until they reached over level 10 before fighting. Ning Zhehan was already
mutilated by level 1, and was forced to return to the resurrection crystal by
level 2. By level 4…
Game over.
In just five short minutes, Ning Zhehan, who stood out amongst countless
players, a newcomer who’d been signed into the top team FTW with a
contract worth 3 million, had been hammered into a melon peel!
“Again!” Ning Zhehan didn’t think twice before clicking to return to the
game room.
Bai Cai was very calm, “Pay first?”
Ning Zhehan took out his cell phone, “I’ll transfer it to you.”
Bai Cai: “’Kay.”
There was a ding as one thousand yuan entered the account.
One hour later…
Ning Zhehan was sweating profusely, and his head of granny grey hair was
sticking out everywhere.
Five minutes a game, for a full twelve games. Not only had he not won, he
hadn’t even killed the other party once!
For an entire hour, he’d been toyed with until his scalp was numb. What
made him doubt life even more was that he’d chosen all of the mid-lane
heroes he was good at, and the other side had used the same heroes as him.
He’d been defeated by the very heroes he was proudest of being good at!
“A, again…” Ning Zhehan’s hands were starting to shake.
Bai Cai reminded him kindly, “You’ve already spent 2400, hey.”
Two hundred a game, five minutes per game. One hour was 2400.
Ning Zhehan was stunned for a moment.
He suddenly thought of the sentence Bai Cai had said before.
Two hundred per game, accompanying you until dawn.
He’d scoffed at the time, thinking that it was just two hundred yuan.
Now…
F*ck, was this highway robbery?!
Bai Cai counselled him, “Don’t be in a hurry and take your time, for
tonight, first…”
Teenagers hated hearing these kinds of words the most, “Again! I’ll transfer
you five thousand!”
“’Kay.”
Bai Cai clicked to accept the money and transferred it to Wei Xiao at a
thirty-seventy split. At the same time, he also cursed, “Can’t you f*cking
hold back a little? This is a child that God Lu looks favorably on. Are you
going to take responsibility if you ruin him?!”
Wei Xiao: “Close likes him?”
Bai Cai’s heart thudded: Oh shit, I said the wrong thing.
Wei Xiao sent a kind and loving smiley face, “Don’t worry. How can one
see the rainbow if they don’t experience the wind and rain?”
He began to feel sorry for Ning Zhehan. The 18 year old with the granny
gray hair experienced a level of cruelty that he should not have experienced
at his age that night.
One o’clock in the morning.
After spending ten thousand yuan and losing fifty games, the granny gray
kid burst out in tears.
It wasn’t an adjective.
It was true…
He really cried!
Bai Cai, who was experienced and knowledgeable, also felt a strange sense
of heartache, “About that…”
Ning Zhehan probably hadn’t ever cried like this even from childhood,
“He… He…”
Bai Cai helped him curse, “That person is a cruel, heartless beast. You…”
“He is really too strong.” Ning Zhehan whimpered and sobbed, “There are
people beyond people, and heavens beyond heaven. It’s my skill that is
inferior. I’m going to apply for an extension in training time tomorrow. I
need to work harder; I’m going to improve my personal strength. Only like
this will I be able to keep up…”

Was this a motherf*cking ‘overcoming mental blocks’ after going into
seclusion from losing in the training matches and getting hammered by Wei
Xiao?!
Ning Zhehan left, and Bai Cai directly sent over a voice message to roar at
Wei Xiao, “Is bullying children really amusing?! He cried! He wailed and
cried! Laozi is most afraid of people crying, you know?!”
Wei Xiao’s voice was lazy, “Ning Zhehan, right? He’s quite talented.”
Bai Cai was almost choked to death by his words: He’d lost every fight. He
was really too f*cking talented.
Wei Xiao was in a pretty good mood, “Close’s eye for talent wasn’t bad this
time. I almost lost in the last few games.”
Bai Cai didn’t believe a damn word, “You didn’t use assassins all night!”
Wei Xiao’s weakest heroes were mid-lane heroes. Tonight, he’d beaten
Ning Zhehan’s strengths with his own weakness, and even hammered him
to the point of crying.
Wei Xiao laughed and said, “Wouldn’t it be like bullying children if I used
assassins?”
You’ve already been bullying them all night. How can you have the cheek
to say that!
“It’s late.” Wei Xiao yawned. “I’m logging off.”
Bai Cai: “Get lost, get lost, get lost!”
At one in the morning, Bai Cai wasn’t about to go to sleep. He’d spent the
day making up for his live broadcast hours and hadn’t finished his quota of
matches that day. He planned to charge up the rankings at this time.
He didn’t stop till 5AM once he started playing.

Bai Cai quit the game and was about to shut down the computer when he
saw an unread email.
It was sent at 3AM, and the sender was Wei Xiao. The subject––10000
Yuan Customer Exclusive: Sweet and Love-Filled After-Sales Service.
Bai Cai’s mouth twitched, “Going wild won’t kill you.”
He clicked open the email, and there were two videos inside. He opened up
the first one, and Wei Xiao’s voice, which was a little lazy from fatigue,
flowed out, “… positioning is too far forward, the essence of a poison user
is to control the casting distance. Having a short reach doesn’t mean you
have to be close. Only when you can control the character at the maximum
distance will you be able to play out the strongest DPS…”
This was a replay and evaluation video that was nearly thirty minutes long.
Wei Xiao had cut clips of twenty mistakes from the fifty solo games that
evening and gave each a very pertinent evaluation, the standard of which
was comparable to that of professional coaches.
Bai Cai saved it and sneered, “Little Ning, your ten thousand yuan really
wasn’t spent at a loss.”
The second video was much larger and contained a full hour’s worth of
material.
Bai Cai’s instincts told him that he shouldn’t click it open, but he couldn’t
stop his cheap hands. He clicked it open––
“Just now was the reverse teaching material. Now, please enjoy the mid-
lane grandmaster’s highlights!”
Bai Cai only watched for half a minute, “F*ck!”
This one hour compilation was full of how Wei Xiao toyed with Ning
Zhehan. They used the same heroes and the same talent points, but one was
good enough to fly up to heaven while the other lay there on the ground.
Such a sharp contrast made even an onlooker like him want to go into
seclusion.
He even called it a sweet and love-filled after-sales service!
If Ning Zhehan received this second video, he would probably end up

jumping off the top of the training base building!
Bai Cai was just about to turn off the video when a low inquiring voice
came out from behind him, “This is Wei Xiao?”
Bai Cai: “!”
He used an entire lifetime of hand speed to turn off the video!
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Lu Feng held a cup of hot tea and looked down at him from above, “Wei
Xiao knows Ning Zhehan?”
Bai Cai’s back was stiff. He slowly turned his head back, “Captain… You…
still remember Old Wei…?”
Not only did he remember him, he could even tell who it was by listening to
his voice. This wasn’t just remembering, right!
Lu Feng’s gaze turned chilly, and his voice was even colder, “Open the
video.”
Lu Feng looked down at him.
Bai Cai shuddered and clicked open the second video.
The video picked up where it left off. Wei Xiao’s lazy but arrogant voice
came out––
“… How can I be so amazing? Look at the gap between casting spells, there
isn’t even 0.1 seconds of error time. Old Bai, I really don’t understand, how
could there be such an excellent person in this world…”
Bai Cai covered his face. He wanted to drill under the table and hide.
What made him collapse even further was…
This long video lasted for a full hour. Lu Feng watched the whole thing
without stopping at all. He didn’t fast forward, didn’t pause, and didn’t say
a word!
Bai Cai seemed like he’d just been punished in public. His dignity had
already been tossed away, “About that… Wei Xiao is working as an
accompanying player.”
Lu Feng’s eyes were fixed on the screen, which currently displayed the last
frame after the video finished playing. There was a line of big, black
words––Please call me the King of Casters.
“Accompanying player?”
Bai Cai really wanted to close this stupid video. “Yes… he accompanies
others to play games.”
Lu Feng knew a bit about this kind of thing, “Which platform?”
Bai Cai thought about his ‘business deal’ with Wei Xiao––forget it, forget
it, he wasn’t able to save himself, let alone anyone else.
Bai Cai sold his good brother just like that, “Memeda Platform.”
Lu Feng paused, then asked, “ID.”
Bai Cai’s face felt like it was burning, “7758521…” Kiss kiss me, I love
you; Wei Xiaoxiao, can you have a bit of moral integrity!
Lu Feng: “……”
Bai Cai, who wanted to survive, tried to save himself, “He, he also made a
replay video for Little Ning. It’s this one…”
He hurriedly opened it up for Lu Feng.
After Lu Feng expressionlessly finished watching the video, the hot tea
he’d made earlier had long cooled.
Bai Cai couldn’t guess what the Great Demon King was thinking and could
only try to lighten his breathing. It was so light that he was barely able to
breathe!
“Not bad.” Lu Feng spoke two words after the video ended.
Bai Cai was a little relieved, “Little Ning didn’t lose out this time.
There’s…”
Even before he finished speaking, he heard Lu Feng continue, “Wei Xiao’s

mid-lane heroes aren’t bad.”
Bai Cai: “???”
He’d thought that Lu Feng was saying that the replay analysis was good,
but it felt like he was saying that the Beast Wei had played well?
“Send me the video.” Lu Feng set down his cup and took out his phone.
Bai Cai was stunned. He couldn’t help it and asked, “Which one?”
Lu Feng: “The second one.”
Bai Cai: “………………”
There was a perfectly good replay video, yet you don’t want it. What do
you want to do with Wei Xiao’s stupid one-man show video?!
Returning back to the present––

In the few short hours of the early morning, Brother Cai’s hair was about to
be boiled white! He calmed down his heart and listened to Wei Xiao’s
WeChat message again.
His attention had previously been completely caught up with the phrases
‘little cutie’, ‘sugar baby’, ‘for a lifetime’, and ‘propose’, and he hadn’t paid
any attention to the other content in the message.
He caught on to the key point after listening to it again.
Ten thousand games? Two million?
God Lu bought ten thousand games with Wei Xiao as an accompanying

player?!
He felt that the captain might have been on his phone placing an order
earlier!
Bai Cai thought about the matter of the video once again…
He couldn’t reveal the truth. He sent a WeChat message to Wei Xiao, “Tell
me honestly, did anything happen between you and God Lu two years
ago?!”
Wei Xiao’s reply was very quick, “You haven’t gone to bed yet?”
Bai Cai was fierce, “Speak!”
Wei Xiao sent over a shy expression, “There’s nothing much between me
and Close, we just slept together.”
Juurensha: Huhuhuhu, although probably platonically? xiin: i laugh so

much translating this novel~ love it love it love it to bits
Ch4 - Wei Xiao, you used him, then
tossed him away!
Just. slept. together!
Bai Cai’s scalp went numb. He immediately initiated a voice call, “You
f*cker and God Lu…”
He’d known early on that this kid didn’t follow the rules, but he really
never expected that he really had no intentions of preserving his own life!
Wei Xiao yawned and said unconcernedly, “What, is your God Lu not a
person? Does he not need to sleep?”
This wasn’t a matter of sleeping or not!
Bai Cai’s migraine was about to be triggered, “You really slept… slept…”
F*ck, he couldn’t say it out loud!
“Yeah.” Wei Xiao chuckled briefly, “I even pillowed my head on his arm. I
heard that it’s what all of Close’s online girlfriend fans dream of.”
Wei Xiao seemed to be worried that he couldn’t scare his good brother to
death and continued to up the ante, “His figure is for real. He has a full
eight pack, without a single one missing, but reasonably speaking, I don’t
quite understand. Based on his qualifications, wouldn’t it be more profitable
for him to make a debut in the entertainment world than to play games?”
Bai Cai ended up distracted by the shift in topic, “Don’t use your money-
grubbing vision to define God Lu’s style.”
Wei Xiao didn’t agree, “I don’t like hearing that. How can the entertainment
circle be inferior in comparison…”
“I’m f*cking talking about likes and ideals. Is God Lu short on money…
f*ck!” Bai Cai finally noticed that the conversation topic had detoured all
the way to the Pacific Ocean and quickly dragged it back, “Stop
interrupting me and continue talking about the matter of you and… sleeping
together!”
Wei Xiao was surprised, “You want to hear the details?”
Bai Cai only now realized what it meant to lift up a stone and smash his
own feet. He didn’t want to hear it, he was afraid his ears would go deaf!
“Don’t judge Close by his cold appearance. In fact, his temper is really
good. I laid on him and he didn’t get angry…”
Bai Cai was going crazy, “You… you laid on God Lu’s body???”
Wei Xiao: “What else? With his stature, would I be able to get out of bed if
he was the one lying on me?”
“Old Wei, how did you survive until today?!”
Wei Xiao: “Ah?”
Bai Cai was convinced. When comparing the gossip on his Weibo alternate
account with this, it was simply like a small sorcerer in the presence of a
great one. There was no comparison at all!
“You didn’t refuse to sign with FTW because of this, right?”
Bai Cai felt that he’d figured out the truth. Two years ago, the supernova
Wei Xiao was really like his name, ‘valiant and brave’ to the extreme.
Today’s rookie king Ning Zhehan might have signed at a high contract
price, but he was a far cry from that dazzling level that drew everyone’s
gazes.
Not only had Wei Xiao been brilliant in the youth training camp, he’d also
taken that team that was missing arms and legs to participate in training
matches, mowing through the substitute teams of every major battle team.
Although the strength of the substitute teams of major battle teams couldn’t
be compared with the starting lineup, they were still solid, regular troops.
To them, a team from the youth training camp was no different from bronze
players meeting kings. What kind of skill could they bring to the game?!
Yet Wei Xiao just happened to have the ability to gather together the entire
team’s strength and allow his teammates to play at 200% of their strength,
winning one training match after another.
Bai Cai was his support and his teammate. Nobody knew better than him
about how passionate Wei Xiao had been at the time.
At the time, many teams extended olive branches to Wei Xiao, but he didn’t
think twice before entering the FTW base. There was no other reason for
it––he wanted to solo with Lu Feng.
Later on…
The day before signing the contract, Wei Xiao ran away.
Nobody knew the reason for it, and nobody knew what had happened, but
nobody was able to contact that little 18-year-old brat.
This rookie king, who was known as the ‘Polaris of the China competition
zone, flared brilliantly when he appeared, then disappeared without a trace.
At the time, he even went up on the hot search, but no matter how much the
various teams hollered and promised high signing bonuses, Wei Xiao never
appeared again.
The world of e-sports was crueler than that of the entertainment world, and
the speed at which things refreshed was unparalleled.
By the time the new season began, the name Wei Xiao had already been
forgotten, and nobody cared anymore.
Later on, Bai Cai ran into Wei Xiao by chance in a game. When he saw the
way the opposite side played the jungle like a madman, he could feel
hidden pain flaring up in his fingers.
Back then, in order to keep up with Wei Xiao and stuff him with a mouthful
of milk, he’d broken several keyboards!
This nightmare-esque psychological shadow allowed him to recognize this

beast at a glance.
After the game, Bai Cai had added him as a friend. The other side accepted
instantly.
Old acquaintances meet again; Bai Cai’s mood was complicated, and his
emotions were still simmering. Who could’ve known that Wei Xiao would
start off with the words, “Little brother, do you need an accompanying
player? A royal sister, a loli, a sexy or sweet type; as long as you can’t think
of it, there’s nothing this play partner can’t do~”
To hell with ‘simmering’! This beast only deserved one word, “F*ck!”
Wei Xiao: “Hey, little brother, calm down. We’re just an accompanying
player, not **.”
Bai Cai sent over a voice message, “Wei Xiao, use human words!”
The other side was quiet for two seconds, then sent over a string of question
marks. “Old Bai?”
There was a lump in Bai Cai’s throat. He cursed, “You refused to go be a

proper professional player and ran off to become an accompanying player
instead?”
At the time, Wei Xiao had said something in response.
Oh, that guy never properly answered. He simply skittered across the topic
and took the opportunity to lure him into a partnership. The two of them
began to ‘guide’ other professional players.
Bai Cai thought about it for a moment now, and felt that he’d stumbled on
the truth.
Did this kid’s sexual orientation tend towards men?
Had he developed desires after seeing the light and run away after doing
something indecent to God Lu?
F*ck, Wei Xiao, that was such scum male behavior!
What made it worse was, God Lu still remembered and thought about him?
Two years later, he recognized him just from the sound of his voice?
Not only did he ‘collect’ the video full of trash talk, he also spent two
million to ‘buy’ Wei Xiaoxiao?
F*ck, Wei Xiao, you used him, then tossed him away!
Bai Cai’s entire brain exploded, thoughts bubbling inside like boiling water.
“Old Bai?” Wei Xiao was puzzled, “Where did your thoughts go? Wasn’t it
just sleeping together? Do you need to be so surprised?”
Listen, just listen, was this human language?
“Didn’t we almost sleep together too?” Wei Xiao’s one sentence caused the
boiling water in Bai Cai’s mind to cool down, “Haven’t you seen me when
I’m sleepwalking?”
Bai Cai: “What?”
Wei Xiao: “There wasn’t any empty dormitories when I first went to FTW,
so Close let me sleep in his suite. I’m aware of my own problems, so I
made sure to close the door. Who could’ve known that my sleepwalking
problem had upgraded and could even open doors?! I was face to face with
Close the instant I woke up. It was really like the sky was falling apart!”
Bai Cai: “………………”

Wei Xiao: “But, Close’s temper is really good. He just told me to get off
him and didn’t stab me to death…”
Bai Cai: “Wei Xiao.”
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
Brother Cai was about to go crazy, “F*ck your daddy!!!”
Wei Xiao pulled the phone away from his ear, and his tone didn’t have any
sense of propriety, “Brother Cai’s tastes are quite heavy, but I don’t have a
daddy to give you…”
Bai Cai smacked his lips and hung up.
Inside the single person apartment, Wei Xiao tsked and tossed down his cell
phone.
He fell back onto the soft bed and looked up at the ceiling.
He’d only slept for three hours, but he didn’t feel sleepy at all.
There was still a long time to go before 1:30PM. Wei Xiao picked up his
phone again to harass Bai Cai, “What’s up with you? I was talking to you
about my cute little boss, but you pulled up those old things from the past
instead? Also, it’s 7:30 already, why aren’t you sleeping?”
He spoke fast and typed even faster. An entire paragraph of text was
finished and delivered in the blink of an eye.
Bai Cai’s brain hurt. Looking at the WeChat message he’d just received, his
brain hurt even more.
He was still going on about that goddamned cute little boss. Brother, you’re
being eyed by the Great Demon King!
Unfortunately, he couldn’t say it.
Lu Feng had told him not to tell Wei Xiao.

Although he didn’t know why it couldn’t be said, Bai Cai wouldn’t dare to
say it on his own.
He was afraid that once Wei Xiao knew that he’d sold him out, he would
turn around and expose him in return.
Their revolutionary friendship had originally stemmed from mutual threat.
Once it was revealed, their boat of friendship could overturn at any

moment.
“It’s nothing.” Bai Cai tried to act miserable and change the topic, “Isn’t it
just that I saw the new rookie king and was moved by the scene?”
Wei Xiao knew that he had a psychological shadow about the words ‘rookie
king’, and said, “Relax, Little Ning’s a pretty good guy. He’s not an old
beast who will toss you behind and run off, or a blackheart who will pocket
millions of your savings. Take good care of him; our small business is still
looking forward to his patronage.”
Bai Cai rubbed his temples. This was the first time he’d seen anyone
scolding themselves as an old beast so naturally and skillfully.
“You’ve already been bought out for two million. Do you still have time for
others?”
Have a heart, you little bastard!
We Xiao said, “That’s not the same. My rich little cutie isn’t a professional
player. How could they play games every day? I estimate that I’ll only be
with her for two or three hours a day. The rest of my time can still be
contributed towards our China competition zone.”
Bai Cai felt like his eyes had been burned painfully by this ‘little cutie’,
“You decided that they’re a girl just like that?”
Wei Xiao: “Old Bai, develop some brains, okay?”

Wei Xiao: “I set my account to male on the platform, and I also included an
outstandingly handsome profile image. The one who placed the order must
be a girl. What else could they be? Gay?”
Bai Cai stared at these words over and over again. He felt that if he
forwarded it to God Lu, they might be able to eat braised Wei Xiao
tomorrow!
“Haha.” Bai Cai sent him three words. “Conduct yourself well.”
Wei Xiao: “I keep feeling like you’re a little strange today.”
Bai Cai: “You’re delusional.”
Wei Xiao was vigilant, “You’re hiding something from me!”
Bai Cai: “Can I f*cking hide anything from you?”
Wei Xiao: “That’s true.”
To hell with your ‘that’s true’! Bai Cai was really worried of exposing the
truth and quickly ended the topic, “I’m going to sleep. Bye!”
Wei Xiao: “Sweet dreams, memeda.”
Bai Cai stared at the last word for a long time and really wanted to remind
him not to act so crazily in front of that new ‘big boss’, but…
Forget it, forget it. Seek your own happiness, comrade Wei!
Wei Xiao ultimately did get some sleep. He’d set his alarm clock for 12:30
noon.
He fed Soybean after he woke up and ordered takeout. After the human and
the dog had both eaten their fill, they waited for the boss to come online.
“Soybean,” Wei Xiao rubbed the husky’s head and spoke to it, “This is my
first piece of real business.”
Don’t judge based on how he’d been an accompanying player for so long.
He’d really never taken on any regular orders.
Just based on his sky-high price of two hundred yuan per game, no player
would be stupid enough to spend money to reserve him.
So, this was like an unmarried young woman on a bridal sedan chair––his
first time!
“They’re here!”
Wei Xiao’s rich little cutie came online right on time. They weren’t a single
minute early or late, and logged on right at 1:30.
Wei Xiao sent over a ‘good afternoon’ emoticon.
The other party was as discreet and cautious as usual. “Hello.”
They were really a very serious and proper little sister. Wei Xiao didn’t
chatter on either and sent her the team invitation link.
He waited for a long time, but nobody joined the team. Wei Xiao tabbed out
of the game and explained, “Log into the game first, then click on this link
to join my team.”
The other party was silent for a while, “I’m in.”
Sure enough, it was a cute newbie!
Wei Xiao was very professional and patient, “No rush. Take your time and
ask if there’s anything you don’t understand.”
LU: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao opened up the game, “I’ll take you to experience the game first.”
As a competitive game, naturally had a ranking ladder. The ranking

segments were also simple and clear.
Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, King.
Above the King rank were the individual rankings. Each region had its own
ranking ladder, and there was also a world ranking.
The major regions weren’t limited to only the game servers, but also
included the international competition zones.
For example, Asia, Europe, North America, and so on.
As of right now, across all the competition zones, the well-deserved first
place was FTW’s captain Lu Feng.
This man, who’d won his third consecutive championship in the individual
competition, had taken enough championship points to put a huge gap
between himself and the second place.
However, at this moment, the world’s number one had just created a new
account. Let alone individual rankings, this account had barely even started
in the ranking segments.
The game entered the matching interface, but Wei Xiao suddenly closed the
queue. “Wait a moment. I’m going to buy a skin.”
He’d purposely found an alt account in order to accompany the boss.

Although the account had enough heroes, it didn’t have any skins.
It wasn’t long before Wei Xiao was back, “Let me show you this year’s
champion skin.”
At the end of each world cup, the makers of the game would create a
special skin for the champion.
This year’s singles champion was still Lu Feng.
This was Lu Feng’s fourth exclusive skin. It belonged to the shadow thief––
Red Sky Blade.
There was a display page in the team interface. Wei Xiao controlled his
thief and had it strike a cool pose, “What do you think? Is it badass?”
Wei Xiao’s keyboard clattered as he typed, “I think that this is the most
stimulating out of Close’s four championship skins. Look at this cape, look
at this red blade, look at this special effect…”
After praising it for half a day, he finally came back to his senses, “By the
way, you know who Close is, right? The world champion God Lu, FTW’s
captain Lu Feng.”
Lu Feng was silent for a moment and typed, “Yes.”
Wei Xiao: “He’s not the reason you started playing the game, right? Ah, it’s
okay, I get it. You young girls all go crazy when you look at his face. It’s a
known fact that half of Glory’s female players all joined because of him.”
Lu Feng didn’t say a word.
Wei Xiao then went on to add, “To be honest, Close is really very
handsome, even better looking than this championship skin. If I were a
woman, I’d want to marry him too.”
Juurensha: ….well I’m sure Close is very happy right now. xiin: Close: I’ll
remember that.
Ch5 - The pentakill is yours, and
you belong to me
Lu Feng stared at this line of words for a good while before typing out a
few words, “Can you use the voice channel?”
Wei Xiao: “’Kay.”
He turned on the voice channel and tested it out, “Can you hear me?”
Lu Feng typed, “Mm.”
Wei Xiao wanted to ask the other party why they didn’t also turn on their
microphone, but he then thought about how the boss was the greatest, and
whatever the boss did was right, so he held back and didn’t ask.
“Then, let’s start matching?” Wei Xiao asked.
Lu Feng listened to his voice and looked at the last line of words in the chat
box.
His eyes were hooded, and he was a little regretful as he pressed out a
single word, “OK.”
Wei Xiao clicked to start the game, and they entered the matching page.
Low ranking matching was very quick. It didn’t take long before they
entered the game interface.
Wei Xiao took into account that the boss was a newcomer to the game and
patiently introduced, “Glory is really easy to get into. Compared with other
MOBA games that have over a hundred heroes, there are only 11 heroes
here. It’s just that there are relatively more talent specs, and the level of
flexible play is very high when it’s all combined together…”
Everything he talked about were things that Lu Feng couldn’t possibly be

more familiar with.
There were indeed only 11 heroes in Glory. As a 5v5 competitive game, for
the game to only have 11 heroes sounded like too few, and it seemed like
there would be basically nothing left after everyone picked a hero for
themselves, leaving no room for any tactical arrangements.
But that wasn’t the case. Glory was able to remain popular for so long by
relying on its complexity and variability.
There were only eleven heroes in the game, namely: Mage, Warlock,
Shaman, Priest, Druid, Paladin, Engineer, Hunter, Warrior, and Gunner.
But each of these eleven heroes had a wide variety of talent trees.
For example, there were already eight entire talent trees that had been
developed for mages. They were: Fire Mage, Frost Mage, Earth Mage,
Wind Mage, Wood Mage, Blade Mage, Undead Mage, and Poison Mage.
There were only a limited number of heroes, but the talent specs were
constantly being updated. With such an assortment, the options and choices
became much more plentiful.
With more options, the tactics could become more unpredictable, and the
matches would then be more exciting and fun to watch.
The reason why 1v1 and 2v2 games could garner so much interest in Glory
was due to the talent system.
In single matches, heroes would be randomly assigned by the system, but

the talent build was up to the player.
For example, if one side was randomly given a mage, and the other side
was assigned a thief whose class advantages could restrain them, there was
still no need to worry. This was because there were so many talent choices.
They could select an appropriate talent build after entering the game and
still manage to destroy their opponent.
1v1 matches were completely based on the individual strength of the

players. Not only did it require superb skills, it also needed a cool head.
Positioning, casting spells, and using abilities was the hardware, and their
understanding of the game was the software. Both were indispensable.
Therefore, there was a common saying around the game––any professional

player who didn’t want to be a learning bully would never be able to win
the individual championship!
There was also a saying in the international competition zones––those who

played with tactics were all black-hearted, and the three time individual
competition champion Close must have a black hole in his chest!
After this saying was brought back to the country, it was pushed up into the
hot search. The key words were: ‘Close black hole’.
Those who didn’t play games were taken by surprise when they saw this
and even thought: What, what what? Close the black hole? Black holes
could be closed? Scientists are so amazing!
After hurriedly clicking in…
Ah, it’s gaming.
Then, they saw the championship photos…
Damn, what a handsome little brother!
“I feel that Glory should pay Close endorsement fees. How many girlfriend
fans joined Glory after the black hole incident? The number of people
matching for games in the bronze rankings was at an all-time high, you
know?!”
Wei Xiao had originally been giving a basic explanation of the game, but as
he went on, it slowly became a basic explanation of Lu Feng.
Lu Feng, who had turned on the voice channel, still felt a little regretful.
Although he could hear his voice, it was unfortunate that he couldn’t see
him.
Wei Xiao pulled the topic back on track, “If it’s your first time playing, then
try the fire mage. This talent build is very user friendly, and the fire mage
has a very adorable female skin. It’s very cute.”
As soon as he said this, someone else on the team channel spoke up, “Are
you bringing a girl?”
“F*ck, ran into another trash player.”
“Go play casual matches if you’re bringing a girl, don’t play ranked
matches and screw others over.”
Casual matches were the same as ranked ones, but losing wouldn’t cause
them to lose stars, and it was purely for entertainment.
Wei Xiao glanced at the team channel.
It was player #3 talking, “Play against AIs if it’s your first time playing and
learn how to play before coming to rank, okay?”
“What’s the point in relying on someone else to bring you up? You’ll still
be screwing others over when you go up to the higher ranks.”
Wei Xiao messaged Lu Feng privately, “Little sister, don’t be scared.”
After sending these words, he typed out in the team channel, “Sorry, I’m
really not bringing a girl, it’s little sister who is bringing me along to play.”
#3: “Enough already, you said that it’s her first time playing.”
Wei Xiao: “Who says that you can’t bring others when you play for the first
time?”
#3: “She doesn’t even know the heroes. Can she carry you?”
Wei Xiao sent over a smiley face and said, “Not only can she carry me, she
can even get double kill, triple kill, quadrakill, pentakill, legendary.”
#3: “Bullsh*t!”
Teammate #4 tried to smooth things out, “Alright, it doesn’t matter if

they’re bringing a girl or not. #1 is definitely very strong.” Wei Xiao was
#1.
Wei Xiao: “I’m not going to take a single kill in this game.” He locked
down the position of jungler as he spoke.
#3 became even more angry, “F*ck! This really is screwing people over!”
Seeing that they were about to enter the game, Wei Xiao’s hands moved
super fast. At the last second, he sent out a line of text, “You can idle at the
fountain and watch little sister’s awesomeness.”
#3 really began to idle, not moving at all as soon as they entered the game.
He stood at the fountain and typed, “Haha, I want to see how awesome she
is!”
Wei Xiao changed to a private team channel that only Lu Feng could hear
and said, “Don’t be scared. In a bit, you just have to focus on taking
people’s heads.”
Lu Feng’s lips tilted up. He typed, “How?”
Wei Xiao’s voice was light, “Take them however you like.”
Arrogance didn’t count for much. What was so terrible was that this man
had the skills to back up his recklessness and arrogance.
Wei Xiao played a shadow thief and used the Red Sky Blade champion
skin.
As he’d said before, this skin was made quite well. The pure black cape was
like the dark night, hiding the thief within. The red short blades were the
only bright splashes of color, like a pair of eyes in the dark night. The
people that he stared at could only go along the road to their deaths.
During the course of the entire match, Wei Xiao really didn’t take a single
head. He slashed down the opponent’s health volume to 100 points every
time, no more, no less. It was so accurate that it made people’s scalp feel
numb.
A fire mage had very strong DPS, and the damage caused by skills was
extremely high, but it required the player to be able to predict their enemy’s
position.
It was common for a newcomer’s skills go off in the wrong direction, and
being unable to hit an opponent was nothing unexpected.
Regardless of how high the damage was for a skill, if it hit nothing but air,
it’d still be zero DPS.
However, Lu Feng didn’t need to use his skills at all. He just needed to
attack normally.
Mages’ auto attack damage was very low and would cause approximately
103 points of damage. Wei Xiao controlled his opponents’ health bars to
just below 100 points.
Auto attacks didn’t require any prediction. As long as a player clicked, the
character would automatically attack the nearest unit.
So…
This kind of kill could really be collected however one liked.
At first, #3 was still cursing and swearing, but later on, he was completely
bewildered.
Not only #3, but #4 and #5 were also stunned, their mouths dropping open,
and the players on the opposite side were about to retreat into seclusion.
“My god, what’s going on with this thief?!”

“No, the question is, how come the three of us are unable to kill a single
person like him?”
“Look at his gold, okay? He has more total gold than the three of us
combined!”
“I don’t get it. How can he make it so that the last hit goes to the Fire
Mage?”
“Damn it… Thief, are you bringing a girl?”
“How the hell is this bringing a girl? This is showing off their love, my
god!”
“I’m sorry, I just want to play a game. Big god, can you stop stuffing me
with dog food?”
Wei Xiao opened up the public channel and shouted across the map, “Since
this Fire Mage little sister is so amazing, could you brothers give her a
pentakill?”
The players on the opposite side: “……………”
Teammate #4 sent a string of, “Hahahahahahahahaha.”
#5 also followed suit and became a ‘hahahaha’ monster.
#3’s face was beaten black and blue, and directly disconnected from the
game.
“Little sister, come here.” Wei Xiao paid them no heed and typed in public
chat, “The pentakill is yours, and you belong to me.”
#4: “F*ck, brother, you’ve really got game!”
#5: “I’m learning this, I’m learning this!”
A player on the opposite side was typing frantically, “Ahhh, brothers, let’s
raise the torch and burn them to death!”
“As long as I have a breath of life left, I’d rather be killed by soldiers, or die
at the feet of the blue daddy, or die in the spit of the dragon. I won’t give
you guys a pentakill!”
“Am I playing Glory? What I’m playing is a single dog bullying game,
right?!”
Wei Xiao messaged Lu Feng privately and said very politely, “No offense
intended, hey, I’m just joking around with them.”
Lu Feng paused for a moment and typed, “It’s fine.”
Wei Xiao continued, “Come, as long as the timing is controlled well, a

pentakill isn’t difficult.”
Pentakill was an achievement that could only be achieved by killing five

people in a row in a single wave of group battles. It could be said to be the
ultimate pursuit for all players in MOBA games.
Obtaining the pentakill achievement really wasn’t easy.
However––
Pentakill!
Lu Feng obtained the easiest pentakill of his life.
He just moved his mouse a little and auto-attacked five times.
The players on the other side were going crazy, “This is illogical, this is
really illogical!”
“This game experience sucks, damn it. If I didn’t already know that Glory’s
hack prevention system was the best in the world, I would think that the
other side was using a plug-in.”
Teammate #4: “I feel that he really used a plug-in…”
Teammate #5: “Yeah, he’s using a plug-in called love!”

Just before Wei Xiao took down the opposite side’s resurrection crystal, he
knocked out four words, “Thank you, thank you.”
The other side: “…………”
After the game ended, Wei Xiao reported #3 for idling and was in a good
mood as he watched the system ban him from the game.
He asked Lu Feng, “How did that feel? Was it okay?”
Wei Xiao had played very seriously in this game, more seriously than when
he solo-ed against professional players.
This wasn’t something where he just needed to win. This required absolute
control.
––Control the damage over each segment of time, every level of equipment,
and every skill level.
Even across the entire competition zone, there were very few people who
could do this.
Lu Feng saved the replay video of the game and said to Wei Xiao, “Very
good.”
Wei Xiao was relieved. He had a sense of professional propriety. While he

had no psychological burdens charging professional players 200 yuan a
game, it was unreasonable to charge ordinary players such a high price.
What he could do instead was to provide the most perfect service so that
boss’ money wasn’t spent in vain.
Wei Xiao continued to ask, “Then should we go on to the next game?”
Lu Feng looked at the time, “I have something to do. Let’s play in the
evening.”

As expected, it was a busy little sister. She already had something she
needed to do after just one match.
Just before going offline, Lu Feng typed again, “Oh, right.”
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
Lu Feng: “I’m not a little sister.”
Wei Xiao: “Ah?”
Lu Feng: “I’m male.”
Juurensha: Ahahaha, Lu Feng only deciding to tell him now. xiin: … Lu

Feng’s bad taste is quite … deep. (also holy crap this chapter has 13
footnotes!!! and one of the footnotes almost ended up with its own
footnote!! even ch4 only had 12!! ahhhhh!!!)
Ch6 - The cute girl has become a
man!
Ma-male?!
Wei Xiao was shocked silly. He’d called out ‘little sister’ for a whole night,
but the other party turned out to be a man?
He was the only one left in the team room. LU had already gone offline.
Originally Wei Xiao had wanted to switch to his main account and play
ranked matches, but now…
To hell with ranked matches!
His three views had just been completely shattered, okay?!
Wei Xiao made a phone call to Bai Cai.
Brother Cai had only just woken up. Seeing the two words ‘Old Wei’ on the
screen of his cell phone, he could feel his brain twitch, “Hello?”
“It’s over! Old Bai, I’m done for!”
Wei Xiao’s shouting caused a shiver to run through Bai Cai.
“What, what’s going on?” No way, had the captain exposed himself just like
that? Didn’t he say that his identity needed to be kept secret?
Bai Cai was a little nervous. He was worried that Beast Wei was looking for
him to punish him for his crimes.
“My little cutie, bah… that boss of mine is actually…”

Bai Cai heart thudded. He felt like he was already halfway buried in the
earth.
“… Male!!!”
Wei Xiao couldn’t even express the entirety of his shock with multiple
exclamation marks.
Bai Cai: “………………”
Damn it, really, if it wasn’t that he was short on money, he’d definitely cut
off all relations with this beast!
Going on like this, day by day, he was going to be frightened into a heart
attack sooner or later.
“I reminded you a long time ago not to presume so much.”
As soon as he heard that he hadn’t been exposed, Bai Cai’s heart steadied,
and he even felt a little like gloating.
Who would have dared to think that Beast Wei would have a day like this?
It was true that everything had its vanquisher; he had to acknowledge this
fact even if he didn’t want to.
Wei Xiao was in urgent need of venting his shock, “He’s male. Why would
he buy ten thousand games with me? He’s male, so why doesn’t he find a
girl to accompany him? He’s male, so why didn’t he refute me after I called
him little sister countless times?!”
He listed out all kinds of details. Wei Xiao’s detailed thinking was terrible!
Bai Cai’s heart of gossip was greatly piqued. He asked, “You called him
little sister countless times?”
Daddy Wei, you’re a real brave man! Looking at the entire league, you’re
definitely the only one who dares to address the Great Demon King like
this, bar none.
“I didn’t just call him little sister,” Wei Xiao’s voice was full of tragic
sadness, “In order to coax him and make him happy, I even…”
Although there was no video replay of the game, Wei Xiao still managed to
rely on his extraordinary narrative ability to vividly recreate the game for
Bai Cai.
Bai Cai wasn’t polite at all and laughed uproariously, “Only you, really, Old
Wei, you’re amazing. You even came up with ‘the pentakill is yours, and
you belong to me’ ahahahaha.”
Wei Xiao collapsed backwards on the bed, “I was wrong, I was really
wrong.”
Bai Cai laughed until he got a stomach ache and wasn’t very sincere in
comforting him, “Well, it’s alright.”
Wei Xiao bounced out of bed again, “How can it be alright, he’s a man!”
Bai Cai: “So what if he’s a man?”
Wei Xiao’s mind was unusually clear, “Does he like me or something? Is he

fascinated by my silhouette in the profile picture? Is he buying me with this
two million!”
Bai Cai’s lips twitched, “You’re overthinking it.”
Wei Xiao reasoned with him, “Then why is he throwing money at me!”
Bai Cai thought in his heart: Perhaps he fancies your strength and ability.
After waking up fully, Bai Cai had already calmed down.
The captain always cherished talent. Two years ago, he’d stretched out an
olive branch to Wei Xiao, but unfortunately this boy had run off.
How much had his signing fee been that year? Oh, it seemed to have been
two million.
Times had been different then. Before Wei Xiao, the maximum price when
new players were signed to each team was no more than 500,000.
Wei Xiao had come in out of nowhere, using his own blood, boldness, and
spirit to sweep through all the supporting teams and shockingly raising his
own value several fold.
At the time, when the major clubs were bidding one million yuan, FTW
directly offered a high price of two million yuan, and the other clubs were
silenced instantly.
In fact, Wei Xiao had made it clear long ago that he was only interested in
joining FTW. Unfortunately, he was listed in the league at the time and had
to participate in the bidding.
FTW didn’t disappoint him, snatching him up at such a record-breaking

price.
This had been a good story in the e-sports circle at the time. Everyone was
looking forward to seeing this wolf cub bring new blood to FTW, and bring
new hope for the China competition zone.
However…
Just before signing the contract, Wei Xiao disappeared.
The good story became strange gossip and was finally drowned out beneath
the weight of quickly changing events.
After thinking calmly, Bai Cai had already understood Lu Feng’s intentions.
Although two years had passed, Wei Xiao had always maintained a very
high level of skill due to his ongoing training with professional players.
Or, it should be said that he was more powerful now than the flashy,
unrestrained rookie king he’d been back then.
Wei Xiao had been improving himself even as he tempered others.

As of now, FTW’s starting line-up was one person short, and if they could
make Wei Xiao return to the team, it would be like having a sudden shock
troop. They might even be able to finally break through the pass and
slaughter their way to the world finals.
––A real world championship.
The China competition zone had been short of one for too long.
Bai Cai was very willing to give the captain a helping hand and capture this
little bastard back!
Bai Cai replied to him, “You think it’s throwing money, but maybe it’s
nothing but a single bristle from nine cows to the god-level rich.”
Wei Xiao was shocked, “How big of a cow does it have to be for them to
have such thick hair!”
Even after knowing him for so many years, Bai Cai was still somewhat
unable to adapt to this fellow’s brain circuits.
How big of a cow?
Was God Lu big enough?!
Bai Cai: “… F*ck!”
Wei Xiao: “???”
Bai Cai calmed himself down; he couldn’t let himself get led astray by this
guy. He spoke very earnestly, “How about this, let’s put ourselves in their
position and think about it.”
Wei Xiao was very well behaved, “Teacher Bai, please speak.”
Bai Cai cleared his throat and asked him, “If you’re a newbie with a lot of
money who is looking for an accompanying player to try out Glory, would
you look for a man or a woman?”
Wei Xiao: “Um.”
Bai Cai continued to guide him, “Would you find a high level one? A
brilliant one? One who can show you what makes Glory special?”
Wei Xiao thought deeply and came up with an answer, “In that case, I have
to find four accompanying players, one to carry me, one to chat with me,
and two others who can provide comedic dialogue for me to listen to.”
Did they really have to bring this guy back to the team?!
How come he felt that if Wei Xiao came back, their FTW team would really
become WTF (what the fuck)?!
Old Bai gnashed his teeth, “What if you can only have one accompanying
player!”
Wei Xiao: “If I’m that rich, why would I only find one?”
Bai Cai: “These are the parameters of the subject!”
“Fine then,” Classmate Wei finally went back to the subject at hand,
“Male.”
Bai Cai was relieved, “See, you would look for a man too, right? Especially
since your price is so expensive, it comes across as very powerful at first
glance. A god-level rich person who isn’t short on money would definitely
choose you.”
Wei Xiao muttered thoughtfully, “This makes sense.”
Bai Cai could be considered to have cleared the captain’s name, “So, don’t
think strange things. Being a man doesn’t mean they’re gay.”
Wei Xiao gave a disbelieving snort.
Bai Cai, “What, are you still not assured?”

Wei Xiao’s voice was a little eerie, “Using me as a reference is too
subjective.”
Bai Cai had a bad premonition, “Why?”
Wei Xiao: “I’m also not sure if I’m gay or not.”
Bai Cai: “………………”
Wei Xiao made his case, “Look at me, I’m twenty years old, yet have never
been in a relationship, never liked anyone, never had a secret crush, and
never chased anyone…”
Bai Cai’s brain was about to burst, “Didn’t you want to propose to the cutie
this morning!”
Wei Xiao: “Yes, but the cute girl has become a man! The one and only time
my heart was moved turned out to be like this.”
Bai Cai knew him too well, “Are you sure that it wasn’t the two million that
made your heart feel moved?”
We Xiao: “Cough… What kind of big truth are you spouting!”
Bai Cai rolled his eyes, “Listen to your brother and be a good
accompanying player. Your boss is definitely a straight man. Very straight,
as straight as steel. If he has any other ideas towards you, I…”
As he spoke, Bai Cai’s desire for survival suddenly burst out. He was a little
afraid of saying anything too harsh.
Wei Xiao was very sharp, “Do you know something I don’t?”
Bai Cai felt a little guilty, “What could I possibly know?”
Wei Xiao narrowed his eyes, “Bai Caicai…”
F*ck!
Bai Cai was really scared of Wei Xiao’s god-like instincts. He forcefully
shifted the topic back on track, “If you really don’t know your own sexual
orientation, then go to my microblog and read those short stories. If reading
them piques your interest, please keep some distance from me later; if you
feel numb like you’ve been struck by thunder, then congratulations, you’re
a straight man.”
There was a click. Brother Cai had hung up the phone.
Wei Xial stared at his cell phone…
Old Bai couldn’t have sold him out, right?
This fellow’s life was more in the teeth of the storm than his. He shouldn’t
have had the guts to do so.
Wei Xiao really opened up Weibo and looked up Bai Cai’s alternate
account.
There were two legendary figures in the Glory e-sports circle: One was One
Lamp Grandmaster, who was strong enough to go up against the heavens
yet hadn’t exposed any personal information; the other was the Gossip
Emperor who was hidden amongst the professional players and was
devoted to YY and secrets of the players, pushed to the heavens by the CP
fans, and hated by the players themselves.
One Lamp Grandmaster was Wei Xiao.
Gossip Emperor was Bai Cai.
It was no surprise that the two of them would get together. One was a
ruthless, tricky kind of person who bullied professional players until they
cried, and the other was an unscrupulous professional player with no moral
integrity.
They were both existences that contestants wanted to pull out and beat up,
so they trusted each other very much.
So, even though Wei Xiao was a little suspicious, he didn’t think too much
about it.
Compared with his One Lamp Grandmaster identity, the identity of the
Gossip Emperor was much more hateful.
He took a look at the latest post––God Lu and Coach Chen Feng’s must-
share sweet nine square grid.
The accompanying images were from the match scene.
A player’s only teammate in the individual competition was their coach.
On the dazzling finals stage, Chen Feng was the only person standing
behind Lu Feng.
The angle of these photos was very extreme.
One photo was of Chen Feng bending over to look at Lu Feng’s computer
screen.
One was of Lu Feng looking back, seemingly asking Chen Feng about
something.
The photo at the center was of the two people’s four eyes facing each
other…
Wei Xiao shuddered.
He sent Bai Cai a WeChat message, “I just got shocked to death! Even my
goosebump skin is peeling off!”
Bai Cai: “Do you understand yourself now, straight man?”
Wei Xiao sent over a thumbs up, “Reasonably speaking, I really admire
you. Close and Brother Chen’s relationship is so pure, yet you can still
create a base bromance out of it!”
Bai Cai sent him an eye-roll emoticon, “Would I dare send it if it wasn’t
pure?!”
Although the entire league felt that the Gossip Emperor had no bottom line,
in fact, Brother Cai was very careful about the limits.
The CPs that he created were all of people with friendship that was so pure
it couldn’t be any purer.
Wei Xiao couldn’t read on any further. He closed Weibo, “I’m relieved.
Laozi is a straight man!”
Looking at these nine photos made him… more than just scalp numb, he
felt numb all over!
Close’s gaze, oh… it’s the gaze that Brother Cai had photoshopped––was!
poisonous!
Juurensha: …WX, pretty sure you’re not all that straight xiin: almost every
thing that comes out of his mouth is a flag… i love it!
Ch7 - Solo with God Lu? Wei
Xiaoxiao wanted that even in his
dreams!
The big stone in Wei Xiao’s heart landed. Even if the boss was crooked, his
own straight-as-steel self would be able to withstand any wind and rain.
This two million could still be earned!
“I’m going to go score points.” Wei Xiao said goodbye to Bai Cai.
Bai Cai was exchanging voice messages with him while brushing his teeth,
“Oh right…”
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
Bai Cai: “Gary made an appointment for a 1v1 training match.”
Wei Xiao: “Old G’s really hardcore!”
Gary was one of the top players in the North American competition zone,
and his team L&P had won second place in the world finals last season.
They were one of the top teams in the world.
They were so outstanding in the team competitions, and weren’t much

worse in individual matches.
Gary, as the team’s strongest player, made it all the way to the finals of the
individual competition.
And then, he met Lu Feng.

And was sent off-stage by a 3-0.
They were the runner up for the team competition, and runner up for the
individual competition. This year’s L&P was worthy of being called ‘the
second sibling’.
How could Gary accept this?
They were still in the off-season, so he came for another training match.
Bai Cai was apprehensive, “He’s really hardcore, but we’re not that
hardcore!”
Lu Feng would agree to his training match, but he had one request in return.
L&P and FTW would also have a team training match.
It needed to be said that the China competition zone had always made round
trips to the international arena in recent years, so strong teams rarely ever
scheduled training matches with them.
As of now, the entire China competition zone was very jealous that FTW
was able to arrange a training match with the second place team from the
finals.
Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do even if they were jealous.
Who told them not to have a Close on their team?
Wei Xiao comforted him, “Don’t worry. It’s not like you haven’t been
abused before. Isn’t it just going into seclusion? After closing up for a while
you’ll get used to it.”
Bai Ca really wanted to spray toothpaste foam all over his face, “Can’t you
have a little compassion!”
Wei Xiao was compassionate, “Old Bai, pain is happiness.”
Bai Cai was choked half dead by his words. He wanted to curse him out but
knew he couldn’t win, so it was fortunate that his thoughts were nimble and
he was able to find internal zen.
Wei Xiaoxiao, continue to act out now. When you return to the team, I’ll
watch your ‘pain is happiness’.
Wei Xiao was still quite concerned about FTW. He continued, “God Tang
retired this year. Isn’t your team short a top-laner?”
Bai Cai: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “Has Close picked anyone?”:
Bai Cai sneered, “Yes.”
Wei Xiao immediately became interested, “Who!”
Bai Cai muttered something that was too profound to be understood.
Wei Xiao blah-blahed through a pile of names, then said, “Hurry up and tell
me who, I’m going to go try them out.”
Bai Cai wasn’t about to tell him who it was, “It’s going to be kept secret
until the contract is signed.”
Wei Xiao: “F*ck, we already have this kind of relationship, yet you’re…”
Bai Cai: “What relationship? There’s no relationship between us!”
Wei Xiao tsked, “It can’t be a newcomer from the youth training camp,
right? It’s not that I’m judging, but while it’s okay to have a Little Ning,
adding another newcomer will really cause your FTW to crash this year.”
Bai Cai thought to himself: There will come a time when you say ‘our
FTW’.
“You don’t need to concern yourself over it. We’ll still be first within China
this year.”
Wei Xiao: “If you guys have the ability, go take first place in the world!”
Bai Cai was irritated, “You speak of it so lightly, if you can do it, you go!”
Wei Xiao: “………”
Bai Cai finished washing up, “Get lost, get lost, I’m going to the training
room.”
Wei Xiao didn’t reply. Bai Cai stared at his second last sentence and felt a
little regret.
Had he overdone it?
No, not even a little…
Wei Xiao really could do it. It was just that he refused to go!
As a rich domestic club, FTW was built on the phrase ‘we can afford it’.
Two years ago, S City had specifically allocated a piece of land for the
development of the e-sports industry, and many clubs had settled into the
‘Glory Park’ and built new bases.
But no matter how the other clubs built their bases, they couldn’t be
compared with FTW.
Other clubs were still building villas, but FTW had practically built a castle.
Other clubs were still sharing Glory Park, and FTW’s own garden was like
a magnified version of the game canyon, allowing players to not only roam
through the canyon in the game, but also roam and relax there in reality.
Looking at the large-scale manor that was the FTW base, the teams next
door almost wanted to cry from jealousy!
Of course, the FTW base had been flamed by haters ever since it was
completed.
For example––
“Their ability to build a base isn’t small, but if you really have the ability,
go win the championship cup!”
“If you have money to waste on this, why don’t you reflect on the next
round of international games?”
“Living in the lap of luxury, extravagant and extreme, it’s no wonder that
you can’t achieve anything!”
“One has to suffer a little in order to become successful. I suggest that FTW
first go and sleep in the dog kennels!”
In fact, some corners of this grand manor really weren’t that much different
from a kennel.
For example, FTW’s primary marksman, Yue Wenle’s bedroom.
Yue Wenle’s name made him seem like a very literary and artistic fellow,
and he was also born with a very clean appearance. Because he had a baby
face, he looked young and tender, like he was only fifteen or sixteen.
However, as soon as one opened his bedroom door, there would be no doubt
about why he’d earned the nickname of ‘Old Pro’ by the time he was
nineteen.
He really was…
An old pro!
At this time, Old Pro, oh wait, Yue Wenle, was currently coaxing Granny
Gray in the training room.
The two c-positions (core DPS positions) of FTW were huddled together
for warmth.
Ning Zhehan had cried all night, and his eyes were swollen, “This replay
video…”
Yue Wenle had had the same experience, “It’s too easy to cry.”
Ning Zhehan turned his head around in surprise, “Brother Le, you’ve also
looked for One Lamp Grandmaster before?”
Yue Wenle put down the potato chips in his hand, and opened his computer,
“Yeah.”
Don’t judge based on how his bedroom was messy enough to be a dog’s
nest. His computer was actually clean and tidy.
There were only three icons on the blue desktop screen.
The first icon was Glory, the second was ‘Replays’, and the third was
‘Beast’.
At first, Ning Zhehan had thought that he would open up the replay folder.
Who could’ve thought that he would open up the beast folder instead?
The folder was densely packed with videos. Each had a string of numbers
beneath the icon.
Ning Zhehan could understand what it meant, the 2019.1.15 in front was the
date, and the 5000 behind it was the amount of money.
The last video was from almost a year ago.
Ning Zhe hand got it, “Brother Le, are these videos from when you were in
the support team?”
Yue Wenle nodded, “It’s been a year, but I’m still unwilling to delete them.”
He spoke like he was sentimental about it, but Ning Zhehan could feel the
teeth gnashing involved in the word ‘beast’.
Ning Zhehan was still inexperienced and said tactfully, “The Grandmaster
is a pretty good person.”
There was a crunch sound as Yue Wenle chomped the potato chips into
fragments, “Hehehe.”
Granny Grey: “……”

He suspected that Yue Wenle was pretending that the chips were the
Grandmaster!
Yu Wenle casually clicked open a video for Ning Zhehan, “Do you see the
ice hunter lying there on the ground? That’s the hero I became famous
with.”
Having the hero they were famous for be hammered into a melon peel was
something that Ning Zhehan had also experienced!
Little Ning who’d only been abused into crying once hadn’t yet developed
any hatred yet. For the moment, he only felt worship, “The Grandmaster is
really powerful. My mage was also pressed to the ground and smeared
around by him.”
Yue Wenle ate his potato chips in silence.
Ning Zhehan became even more convinced the more he watched the video,
“Why is the Grandmaster’s marksman so strong!”
Yue Wenle: “His top-lane heroes are also very strong.”
Ning Zhehan: “I know, TPT’s vice-captain changed positions because of

him!”
Yue Wenle chuckled, “Let me give you some advice.”
Ning Zhehan: “Ah?”
Yue Wenle: “You can find him for solo games, but if you see him take out
his thief, please quit the game immediately.”
Ning Zhehan was shocked for a moment, “Grandmaster’s…”
Yue Wenle’s tone was dark, “He’s strongest as a jungler. He can take any of
the heroes that our captain is good at and play them so well that you fall
into despair.”
“Sh*t!” Ning Zhehan seemed to have heard some urban legends, “Then…
has he ever soloed with the captain before?”
Bai Cai, who’d only just arrived at the training room, heard this sentence
and thought a sentence in his heart: Solo with God Lu? Wei Xiaoxiao
wanted that even in his dreams!
Bai Cai pushed open the door and went inside, interrupting their
conversation.
Ning Zhehan was young and inexperienced, and was still a curious baby.
After greeting Bai Cai, he asked, “Brother Cai, have you ever soloed with
the Grandmaster before?”
Bai Cai: “He never solos with supports.”
Ning Zhehan wondered: “Why?”
“Because,” Bai Cai’s teeth hurt, “He doesn’t kill domesticated animals.”
Ning Zhehan: “……………”
FTW base, sixth floor.
The team’s head coach Chen Feng pushed open the door and entered, “So,
there’s a candidate?”
The winter sun was very weak and wasn’t very bright despite it being noon.
It streamed in through the French windows onto the thick carpet, casting a
warm and comfortable glow in the room.
Chen Feng looked across the dappled rays of light at the man seated at the
conference table.
Eight out of ten sentences from Wei Xiao couldn’t be taken seriously. Only
the words that he used to praise Lu Feng were all for real.
Close indeed had enough appearance value to support the hundreds of

millions of female Glory players. Not only women; even ordinary men
found it a little difficult to get used to.
Why did he have to be so handsome?
And good at playing games.
And a champion.
And he was f*cking rich.
Comparing him with other people could really make one die of envy.
Chen Feng had once been the tall and handsome God Feng, but now he was
smashed to death on the beach, and had even been smashed to the point
where he had to fully accept it. It was quite lamentable.
Lu Feng looked at him, “Do you still remember Wei Xiao?”
Chen Feng was stunned, “Didn’t that kid go to New Oriental?”
For better or worse, Wei Xiao had stayed at the FTW base for a few days.
Even if he hadn’t signed a contract and was considered a free man, it really
hadn’t been appropriate for him to leave without saying a word.
So, he’d left a letter.
The letter was very beautiful. The paper was clean, and the handwriting was
exceptional, but the words on it were enough to make people expire from
anger––
Various leaders, I’m sorry. I’ve always wanted to become a chef ever since I
was a child. Now, the admission notice for New Oriental has just arrived,
and I’m going to go follow my dreams. See you all in the jianghu!
Lu Feng also recalled this matter, and the corners of his lips pulled up
slightly, “It seems that he graduated.”
Chen Feng: “???”

You can still smile after being stood up like that?!
Was this the Great Demon King of Glory that he’d known for four years?!
“That’s not the point!” Chen Feng pulled his thoughts back and spoke
rationally, “I know that you’ve always admired him, but Wei Xiao’s been
out for two years. How can he adapt to the current rhythm? We all know
that talent is one thing, but experience is more important.”
Lu Feng stood up, closed the blinds and said, “Come take a look at this
game replay.”
He turned on the projector and clicked the play key.
Chen Feng glanced at it and asked in surprise, “Bronze game?”
How could anything be seen from this?
Forget a bronze game, even a king segment game would be useless. There
was a big difference between a match with randoms and the professional
arena. Even a heaven defying performance in a random match was
meaningless.
Lu Feng stared at the screen, “Keep watching.”
Chen Feng pressed down his impatience and kept watching.
This game video recording was very complete. Not only did it show the
fights in the canyon, it also kept the words in the chatroom. There was also
no need to mention the voice chat.
The voice of the youth came out through the stereo, “Little sister, don’t be
scared.”
Chen Feng: “!”
What the hell was this little sister?
Wasn’t LU Lu Feng’s alternate account?

There was a quarrel in the chat box. The thief with the ID ‘Your Father’
said, “Not only can she carry me, she can even get double kill, triple kill,
quadrakill, pentakill, legendary.”
This was very normal. That was God Lu’s alt account. Let alone in bronze
games, he could also do it in professional games…
What came after left Chen Feng stunned.
Perfect positioning, strong overall view, amazing skill understanding, and

that abnormal ability to control health points…
The random players only felt that the thief in the game was amazing and
crazy and showing all kinds of ridicule.
Chen Feng, as a professional coach, saw countless impossibilities.
“This…” Chen Feng even forgot to blink his eyes, “This kid…”
Lu Feng: “It seems that the teaching quality of New Oriental is pretty
good.”
Chen Feng: “…………………………………….”
Then, he saw the sentence that Wei Xiao sent in the chat box, “Little sister,
come here. The pentakill is yours, and you belong to me.”
Lu Feng explained it to him, “Oh, the fire mage who took the pentakill is
me.”
Coach Chen shattered.
Was there anyone who couldn’t tell? The ID LU made it clear with a
glance!
This wasn’t an explanation. It was an emphasis!
Juurensha: God Lu: very pleased with the progress in their relationship and
plans so far xiin: God Lu wants to make his ownership very, very clear.
Ch8 - Lu Feng: Soloing with him, I
had to go all out
Chen Feng ignored Lu Feng and continued watching the video.
It was already enough that his operational skill was amazing, his game
consciousness was strong, and his understanding was high, but this kid Wei
Xiao was also black hearted!
That big pentakill gift bag that was delivered at the end really required all
sorts of skills and means.
On the surface, it seemed that this video was only about a thief beating
others up, but in fact, he’d been laying down the foundations for this
pentakill moment throughout the entire match.
First of all, he diverted their attention, and seized the other side until their
mental states collapsed and exploded.
The other side became afraid to act alone and began to group together,
thinking that they would still have a chance to survive in a 5v1 situation.
However, this sent them straight into Wei Xiao’s arms. If they didn’t group
together, how else would he be able to cut down five people in one breath?
Shadow thieves had stealth skills. Although there would be a small hint
over the head of the target when they went invisible, it still took a few
seconds for a thief to appear after they were prompted.
Wei Xiao took advantage of these few seconds to attack from behind,
gathering them together and backstabbing all of them, perfectly delivering
serious injuries to the five players.
The other side’s support and warrior had more health and wanted to run, but
Wei Xiao didn’t get anxious. He first had the fire mage take down three of
them, and then chased after the warrior before using a slow to cause the
support to move at a snail’s pace. The fire mage jumped and pranced over
and casually auto attacked once…
Pentakill!
Everything had come together perfectly.
It was so precise it couldn’t possibly be any more precise.
It wasn’t hard to destroy the other party and take a pentakill. There were
countless people who could do this in the bronze segment.
What made this time so deadly was that he hadn’t taken a single kill in this
situation, but his gold and resources were three times that of his opponents;
he had made no mistakes in releasing his skills for the whole match, and his
control over their health was at an insane level.
He’d given all the kills to the fire mage. Not only had he predicted the
damage, but he’d also created opportunities that were perfectly within the
fire mage’s range of attack.
He didn’t seem to be just playing a game. It was more like he’d turned the
Glory canyon into a game of chess, and he was the only one who controlled
all the pieces.
Chen Feng watched the video twice in a row, then furrowed his brows, “His
individual strength is very high.”
Although this was the bronze segment, if the video of this wave of
operations was released, it would probably cause the professional circle to
shake three times.
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
His response was light and clear like he wasn’t overly concerned, but his
eyes were staring unblinkingly at the screen.
The meeting room was dark, and the screen was bright. The projection
reflected in the dark eyes as though igniting a cluster of flames.
Chen Feng saw this and felt a burst of hot-blooded excitement in his chest.
Battle intent.
There was the desire for battle in Lu Feng’s eyes.
How long had it been since he’d seen it?
Ever since Lu Feng had become the only number one in the world.
Cheng Feng had never seen such emotions in Lu Feng’s eyes since then.
That was the urge to fight, wanting to win, the full blown desire for battle
against a long awaited opponent!
Chen Feng’s heart thumped loudly––
Was it really okay for Wei Xiao to come to FTW?
“I acknowledge his personal strength.” Chen Feng calmed down, “But what
we’re lacking is a team.”
FTW had already won enough individual world championships. They were
more eager than anyone else for a real championship.
As far as personal strength was concerned, there was nobody who could
match Lu Feng.
What they needed more was a team that twined together to form a rope, a
team where five people added up together equaled infinity!
Lu Feng retrieved his gaze, “He can do it.”
Chen Feng had a very good understanding of Wei Xiao. Two years ago,
Chen Feng had been extremely supportive when Lu Feng had wanted to
sign him.
What he had appreciated wasn’t only Wei Xiao’s personal strength as a
rookie king, but also his courage to challenge the major clubs with a team
from the youth training camp.
Excellent newcomers existed everywhere, but the only one who’d dared to
do so in the past two years was Wei Xiao.
He was arrogant and willful, but it was precisely this aura that ignited the
fighting spirit of his teammates, making it so that an immature team could
play far beyond their own abilities and win again and again.
Wei Xiao was like someone who exuded light, someone who could easily
kindle the fires in his teammates.
Back then, it had been this quality of his that all the major clubs were
competing for.
Unfortunately, he withdrew at the peak of his popularity and disappeared

without a trace.
Chen Feng sighed and asked Lu Feng directly, “What happened between
the two of you two years ago?”
This was the issue he felt the most scruples about. It was true that Wei Xiao
had the ability to gather together a team, but if there were grudges between
him and Lu Feng, it would all be empty talk.
In FTW, Lu Feng would forever be the core.
A person who couldn’t cooperate with Lu Feng had no value no matter how
strong their personal ability was.
Lu Feng glanced at Chen Feng, “He didn’t give up the professional arena
because of me.”
This sentence gave others too much food for thought.
He didn’t talk about what had happened and just said that it wasn’t because
of him.
Chen Feng spoke very seriously, “It’s not that I’m insisting on looking into
your private affairs, but I can’t trust Wei Xiao if any hidden dangers aren’t
resolved.”
In fact, his opinions couldn’t influence Lu Feng. If Lu Feng wanted Wei

Xiao, he didn’t need his consent at all, only…
Having been good friends for many years, Chen Feng would still say what
needed to be said.
“He stayed at the base for three days.” Lu Feng slowly opened his mouth
and stated.
Chen Feng said, “He was with you the whole time for those three days.”
Lu Feng replied, “Yes.”
“Then you guys…”
Chen Feng had been curious about this for a long time. What happened in
those three days?
When Wei Xiao had reported to their club, FTW had still been at their old
base. It was a three story small building that was far less spacious than it
was now.
At the time, both the first team and substitute team had lived in the same
building. Space was tight, so Lu Feng had taken Wei Xiao to his suite on
the third floor.
It might be called a suite, but it was just a living room with a bedroom to
one side. The entire area it covered wasn’t even as large as a single
bedroom in the new base.
From when Wei Xiao went upstairs, he never came down again.
Three days later, what they saw was the letter about him going to ‘chase his
dreams’ in New Oriental.
In the FTW base, the only person who’d been in contact with Wei Xiao was
Lu Feng.
Lu Feng hadn’t said much either and had proceeded to prepare for the new
season as though everything was normal.
Now, Chen Feng finally wanted to know the truth.
“He always wanted to solo with me.” Lu Feng said calmly, “So we soloed
for 48 hours.”
Chen Feng’s expression collapsed, “What?”
Lu Feng spoke blandly, “I still have recordings of the matches. Do you want
to see?”
“No…” Chen Feng didn’t want to at all. What shocked him was, “You
guys… soloed for 48 hours?”
Lu Feng: “There were meals, water, and washroom breaks in between.”
Chen Feng’s voice was about to break, “What about sleeping?”
Lu Feng: “Wasn’t tired.”
Chen Feng: “…………………………………….”
What kind of mystical truth was this?!
Wei Xiao was at the base for three days and didn’t go downstairs for three
days straight because he’d been soloing with Lu Feng?
That little lunatic had originally come because of Lu Feng. It wasn’t hard to
understand why he would do such a thing.
But why did Lu Feng go along with it for such a long time!
48 hours!
There was no need to talk about anything else, weren’t you guys tired?!
“What about the wi-win rate?” Chen Feng asked.
Lu Feng paused for a moment.
Chen Feng thought about the newcomer Wei Xiao from back then and the
Lu Feng who was at his peak at the time and stammered even more, “It, it
can’t be that he didn’t win a single game, right?”
Lu Feng’s lips curved slightly, “He won the last game.”
Chen Feng: “…………………….”
Lu Feng added, “He won against me with a thief.”
Cheng Feng wanted to roll his eyes, “F*ck, 48 hours. You lost because you
were tired from playing, right!”
Lu Feng: “I wasn’t actually tired.”
Chen Feng: “Then were you annoyed?”
Lu Feng: “It was fun soloing with him.”
Chen felt that the world was going crazy, “Then why would you lose? How
could your thief at its peak lose?!”
Lu Feng lowered his eyelashes, “I felt a little distressed.”
Chen Feng almost fell off his chair, “Ah?!”
Lu Feng seemed to be afraid that he wouldn’t understand and explained

further, “I made a mistake in positioning due to distress and was killed.”
Chen Feng didn’t want to listen to Lu Feng explain anything else in this
life!
“You’d been f*cking abusing the other person for 48 hours and started to
feel distressed during the last game?!”
Chen Feng thought about that scene and felt like his heart had shattered!
Was this what someone human would do?
What had the 18 year old Wei Xiaoxiao done wrong? He had to suffer such
abuse just before joining the team!
It was already like that, yet Lu Feng still said that Wei Xiao hadn’t given up
the professional arena because of him.
If it was himself, don’t even talk about competitions, he would have directly
jumped down from the third floor!
“Is there anyone who would act like you?!”
Cheng Feng had a bellyful of opinions regarding Wei Xiao leaving without
a word, but now he only wanted to criticize Lu Feng, “Is there anyone else
who would treat a newcomer like that?!”
Lu Feng shook his head, “Soloing with him, I had to go all out.”
Chen Feng was stunned.
Lu Feng’s eyes were dyed with a trace of barely perceptible gentleness, “He
doesn’t only want to win. He also wants respect.”
In those 48 hours, Lu Feng had countless opportunities to let Wei Xiao win.
How could winning or losing be that important in casual battles between

two people?
But, he couldn’t do it.
Every time he looked into the youth’s eyes that were burning with battle
spirit, he had no way to relax.
Winning wasn’t important.
What was important was for him to respect his opponent.
In the last game, Lu Feng wasn’t distressed because of the constantly-losing

Wei Xiao.
He was distressed that Wei Xiao’s fingers were trembling slightly, yet he
remained resilient and maintained perfect control over his character.
His physical strength couldn’t support him anymore, but his mental strength
was still unwavering.
Lu Feng was distressed over how Wei Xiao had been serious from the start
and had never given up.
In the last game, Lu Feng made a small mistake, and Wei Xiao still caught
it despite his extreme fatigue.
He had really won against him.
Using a thief, he’d won against Close.
Lu Feng was fully certain.
Wei Xiao hadn’t left because he’d lost for 48 hours.
Because after the last game, the youth who was sprawled in the gaming
chair said to him––
“That was too amazing. You’re really strong!”
Lu Feng had looked at him. The youth’s face was pale and bloodless from
fatigue, and only his eyes were as bright as a morning star.
“One day, I’ll really win against you!”
FTW: For The Win.

Many people said that Lu Feng had been born for FTW.
Lu Feng felt that the youth in front of him had been––
Born to win.
Juurensha: ….guys, you should have been hallucinating from sleep

deprivation at that point. xiin: ahh… youth *sips tea*
Ch9 - Wei Xiao: I’m basically still
one of FTW’s family members
“Then why did he leave?” Chen Feng was very puzzled.
48 hours of soloing left anyone who heard it with too much to disparage
and nothing to say, but it could be seen from the effort required that this kid
couldn’t extricate himself from the game.
A solo game between players with a high level of disparity could only last
for 20 minutes at most. How could Wei Xiao, who’d lost 144 games, be
willing to accept it?
Simply based on his little lunatic character, wouldn’t he stay in FTW just
for the sake of regaining some of his losses?
It still went back to that sentence––One day, I’ll really win against you!
It was such a clear declaration of war. Under normal circumstances, Wei

Xiao should be practicing his skills diligently, pestering Lu Feng every day.
How could he bear to leave?
If they took 10,000 steps back to look at the situation, if Wei Xiao wanted
to win against Lu Feng in a competition, he could’ve gone to another club
instead of going to New Oriental to become a cook!
It didn’t make sense.
Chen Feng thought about it and asked, “Was it a problem… with his
family?”
Despite the rapid development of the e-sports industry and the scarily high
income, there were still many people who didn’t acknowledge this industry.
There was no need to mention distant cases, there were many such
examples around them.
Team captain Mo next door was a typical man who would have to go back
and inherit family businesses worth hundreds of millions if he didn’t do
well in gaming, and there was God Fu who’d dropped out of South
University in order to pursue a career in e-sports and broken off his
relationship with his parents…
Of course, they couldn’t skip their own God Lu in these examples.
Nobody knew what happened with Lu Feng’s family, but a person who’d
run away from home at the age of 16 and hadn’t contacted his family for
five full years wasn’t very far off from breaking off all relations.
Chen Feng tried to test out the waters, “Could it be that Wei Xiaoxiao is
also a rich second generation?”
Faced with a two million yuan signing bonus, only the most rich and
respectable families could say they didn’t want it and really walk away!
Lu Feng: “I don’t know.”
Chen Feng didn’t think too much about it. The two of them had only known
each other for three days and three nights. How could they have talked
about such a deep problem? It was normal for Lu Feng not to know.
In fact, Lu Feng did know something about it.
After soloing for 48 hours, fatigue and weariness swamped them the
moment they relaxed.
Even Lu Feng, who was in excellent physical condition, was somewhat

unable to bear it, not to mention Wei Xiao, who was only hanging on with
one breath of life left.
The teenager finished his ‘trash talk’ and closed his eyes right there in the
e-sports competition chair.
Lu Feng called out to him.
Wei Xiao groaned vaguely.
Lu Feng pushed against his shoulder gently, “Go sleep in the room.”
Wei Xiao: “Zzzzz…”
This kid.
Lu Feng came closer and asked, “Do you need me to take you to the
bedroom?”
Wei Xiao hadn’t actually fallen asleep, and was only too lazy to move. He
bounced up, “Captain, you’re really ruthless. How could you use the word
‘take’?!”
Lu Feng smiled, “Otherwise?”
Wei Xiao spoke righteously, “Use ‘carry’, of course! Do you understand

what a princess carry is! It’s okay, I don’t mind, my legs are already out of
order so they’re giving me permission to be a little princess.”
Lu Feng had heard of how this kid didn’t follow normal rules long ago, but
he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he encountered it for himself,
“Get up.”
Wei Xiao even felt wronged, “You bullied me for 48 hours, and you’re still
being mean to me.”
The youth was born with beautiful features, especially that pair of eyes that
could be filled with any kind of emotion and was particularly attractive.
Lu Feng shifted his gaze and blanked out his expression, “Take or walk,
pick one.”
Wei Xiao had only been talking trash. Adding on that he hadn’t fully gotten
over losing for two days and two nights, he’d been purposely trying to give
Lu Feng some grief and didn’t actually want to be a little princess. He stood
up slowly, “You really are a great, great… ahh…” A big yawn interrupted
the three words Great Demon King into Great Yawn King.
At that moment, Lu Feng was a little regretful. If he really signed this little
bastard to FTW, would the base have any restful days?
He really wanted to improve the dreary atmosphere of FTW, but he didn’t

want it to become a playground.
After finally sending the little bastard to the bedroom, Lu Feng went to take
a shower and was ready to get some rest.
“Ding…”
A cell phone rang.
Lu Feng’s cell phone was silent all year round. He was taken by surprise by
this strange sound.
After three consecutive ding sounds, he finally realized that it might be Wei
Xiao’s cell phone.
Lu Feng tied a towel around his waist and went to the computer table to get
the cell phone.
He wasn’t sure if it was anything urgent, and it was better to take it to Wei
Xiao just in case.
The cell phone’s screen wasn’t locked, so three messages appeared in Lu

Feng’s line of sight.
[ Xiaoxiao, mother was wrong. Can you please call me back? ]
[ Come back, okay? Your mother will make you lots of delicious food. ]
[ Xiaoxiao, don’t blame dad. He really doesn’t have it easy. ]

Lu Feng frowned, flipped the phone so that it was face down, and didn’t
keep reading.
Had Wei Xiao run away from home?
Had he not discussed the contract with his family?
Lu Feng went straight to the guest room, thinking that he’d wait until Wei
Xiao was awake before talking to him about it.
Signing a contract with a minor required the parents’ consent. Wei Xiao
couldn’t take responsibility for it himself.
He’d just arrived at the guest room and hadn’t yet knocked on the door
when it opened from within.
The youth was wearing a white t-shirt and shorts as he stood there in front
of him.
Lu Feng was a little surprised, “You haven’t slept yet?”
He handed him his cell phone.
Wei Xiao didn’t even look at his cell phone. Instead, he charged straight
into him.
Lu Feng was worried he’d trip and didn’t dare to avoid him, “Wei Xiao?”
Wei Xiao’s arms wrapped around him, “So hard.”
Lu Feng: “!”
Wei Xiao mumbled, “This pillow is so hard.”
Lu Feng: “………………”
Wei Xiao hadn’t slept in 48 hours. After that, he slept for a full 20 hours.
Lu Feng tried to break away from this sleepwalking little bastard, but after
trying for half an hour to no avail…
He went back to his own room and went to sleep with Wei Xiao in his arms.
This was what had happened over those three days and three nights two
years ago.
“Why on earth did he leave?”
Chen Feng’s voice called Lu Feng back from his thoughts.
Lu Feng had some guesses. There was a 90% chance that Wei Xiao’s
departure was related to his family.
As for the exact reason, he didn’t know.
Anything that could make that teenager who was so dedicated to winning
give up on the competition arena couldn’t have been anything small.
Lu Feng said, “Give me some time.”
Chen Feng: “It’s best if we can talk it out. It would be a pity if a talent like
this ended up buried.”
Lu Feng made a sound of agreement.
Chen Feng’s curiosity rose up again, “Speaking of which, how did you
contact him?”
Chen Feng said, “Do you need to have Old Xiang show up for this? He’s
good at this kind of thing…”
Xiang Liu was the manager for FTW. He was the best when it came to
communicating with people.
“No need.” Lu Feng said, “I’ll communicate with Wei Xiao.”

Chen Feng didn’t think too much of it, “That’s right, he’s the most
interested in you. We might scare him off again if we all butt in.”
Lu Feng nodded lightly.
Chen Feng was just about to leave when he thought about the matter of
time, “By the way, what did you guys do in the last 24 hours?”
Lu Feng paused, “Sleep.”
Chen Feng patted his own skull, “That’s right. After playing for two days
and two nights, it’s really time to tune everything out and sleep.”
But who could’ve known that Lu Feng would shoot another arrow at him,
“In the same bed.”
Chen Feng: “!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Wh-what???
Lu Feng looked at him calmly, “Was there anything else?”
Chen Feng: “About that…”
Shit, what do you mean, anything else? This was f*cking everything!!
What do you mean by sleeping together, what do you mean in the same
bed? Didn’t your small suite back then have a guest room? You guys…
F*ck f*ck f*ck, Coach Chen’s gentle and elegant character design was
broken!
Ultimately, Chen Feng didn’t dare to ask for more details.
This was too terrible.
Too, too, too terrible.

He was just an ordinary and simple coach and couldn’t withstand this kind
of stimulation!
It was just three days, this kind of pace was too fast!
They played games, slept together, and then broke up?
It was really, it was really… efficient!
Coach Chen now thoroughly understood the ‘truth’, but he really wanted to
kick this truth out of his head!
Close and Gary’s training match was scheduled for three in the afternoon.
There was a confidentiality agreement for training matches. Game videos

could only be used for review purposes within the teams of both sides and
couldn’t be shared with outsiders.
Although the video couldn’t be shared, news of the confrontation between

the two teams couldn’t be concealed.
It had already gone viral on the internet, and all the members of FTW had
people asking them for details on their Weibo.
Of course, Lu Feng’s Weibo was commented on the most, but he never

went on Weibo and didn’t see it.
It started at three and ended at five.
They played three games over two hours.
Although it was 3-0, Gary was indeed very strong. Not many people could
push Lu Feng to this point.
Gary wanted to keep fighting, but Lu Feng typed, “Tired.”
Gary had also found a translator from who knows where, and his words
carried a heavy northeast flavor, “Tired just like that? It’s only been two
hours, and you’re tired? Fong, don’t bluff me, Laozi hasn’t lost enough,
again, again!”
Not only did he have a northeastern accent, he even had a typo.
Lu Feng: “We’ll play another game on one condition.”
Gary’s excitement had gone straight to his head, “OK! It’s fine even if you
add another ten training matches!”
Lu Feng: “It’s not training matches.”
Gary: “Then what?” He could only make appointments for training matches
with Lu Feng by trading using team training matches.
In fact, Gary was unable to make the decisions on this matter. Lu Feng
would discuss it with Xiang Liu, and Xiang Liu would go and communicate
with their team. Although the manager over there didn’t know why FTW
would put forward such a request, he nodded and agreed.
Xiang Liu was quite puzzled. He asked Chen Feng, “Who does Close want
to send the training match recording to?”
That’s right, Lu Feng’s condition was that he wanted to send the videos
from today to a friend.
Chen Feng’s heart was already a pile of ashes, “Donno.”
Xiang Liu looked at him like he was a fool, “Old friend, what’s the matter
with you? Have you been infected by Gary’s bad Chinese?”
Coach Chen was too lazy to deal with this ‘lucky person’ who didn’t know
a thing!
On the other side.
The rest of the FTW team was still involved in their own training.
Bai Cai received Wei Xiao’s invitation to form a team. He didn’t even have
to ask any questions and already knew what this fellow wanted to do.
––“No, I don’t have it, can’t do it.”
Brother Cai’s refusal smashed onto Wei Xiao’s head three times in a row.
Wei Xiao showed rare good temper and asked humbly, “Brother Cai,
Brother Bai, Brother Baibai, for the sake of your little follower’s sincerity,
can you let me take a look?”
Bai Cai had long grown numb towards this kind of sweet talk, “Wake up.
There are confidentiality agreements for training competitions. How could
they be shown to outsiders? It would be a violation of the rules!”
Wei Xiao was so attentive for one reason only. He just wanted the training
match recordings for the games between Lu Feng and Gary.
Wei Xiao, “How am I considered an outsider? I was the one who had one
foot in the door to FTW two years ago!”
Bai Cai: “You said yourself that it was two years ago, and only one foot in
the door.”
Wei Xiao: “Sigh, even if I’m not a member of FTW, I’m still one of FTW’s
family members.”
Bai Cai was really amazed by his utter shamelessness, “I don’t have any
family like you!”
Wei Xiao: “What are you thinking about? I’m saying that I’m God Lu’s
family member. After all, we’ve slept together before.”
Bai Cai: “………………………………”
The Brother Cai that was angry enough to explode finally let loose his cruel
words, “You should just give up now. Even if my head is chopped off! And
given to you to use as a football! I still wouldn’t share the secrets of the
team to an outsider like you!”
I’ll let you run and bounce around and happily kick up as much of a fuss as
you like!
You want to watch the 1v1 training match between God Lu and Gary?
Dream on!
There was a ding.
A WeChat message had just flown its way into Bai Cai’s cell phone.
He looked down at it––
Captain Lu: “Send this video to Wei Xiao.”
Bai Cai saw the name of the video––12/2 Close VS Gary.
To-today’s training match video?
Ah, what about the confidentiality agreement!
Wait a minute, was Wei Xiaoxiao really a family member?
xiin: about Gary. he’s from the west, with hilarious shitty chinese (that he
uses every now and then in the novel). i want to try and keep some of that
in the translations, so sometimes what he says will be weird or have typos
on purpose~ just imagine him as someone who learned a second language
with a crappy, unreliable teacher…
also, i can hear the sound of Bai Cai’s brain turning to into porcelain and
shattering on the floor…
Juurensha: Ah WX, so shameless hahaha (although now him sleepwalking

straight into God Lu’s arms makes a little more sense)
Ch10 - I don’t want anything but
Close
This face slapping came so fast that Brother Cai was left completely at a
loss.
What to do?
He’d just smashed down his ultimatum. Should he cut his head off and let
Wei Xiao kick it around like a ball?
Did he really have to be so unfortunate?!
The clueless Wei Xiao was still working hard, “Brother Cai~! I’ll play as
your support, okay?”
Comrade Bai Cai, one of the top-line supports of the China competition
zone, had always been fond of having jungler kings play support for him.
His own family’s jungler king Close was number one in the world, so Bai
Cai couldn’t ask him. Although this half-baked dabbler in front of him
didn’t play in the professional league, his level wasn’t low, either. Having
Wei Xiao act as his support… cough, it was a little exciting.
Brother Cai found a way to take a step back, “Help me grab the thief.”
Laozi was going to carry the whole game today!
Wei Xiao: “’Kay.” He was first for the hero selection and didn’t say
anything else as he locked in the shadow thief.
Brother Cai’s lips twitched, “Is the power thief not fun?”
Shadow thieves could be considered one of the most difficult heroes to
operate in Glory. Brother Cai liked peaceful and mild support, how could he
kill and slaughter like that group of beasts!
Wei Xiao sighed, “I forgot that Brother Cai’s hand speed can’t keep up.”
Do you want your motherf*cking video or not?!
F*ck, he had to give it to Wei Xiao even if he didn’t want to. That made
him even angrier!
Wei Xiao: “It’s okay, with my support, what’s there to be afraid of?”
Bai Cai endured it and asked, “What support hero do you want?”
Wei Xiao: “Holy priest, then.”
Holy priest was one of the heroes that Brother Cai was famous for. A single
handful of team milk was enough to make the other side question the
meaning of their lives. It was clear that they’d already dealt so much
damage, but why was their opponent’s health full again?
Bai Cai sneered, “You can also play holy priests?”
Wei Xiao smiled slightly, “No problem.”
After their teammates finished choosing their heroes, Bai Cai clicked on
Wei Xiao in the interface and requested to exchange heroes.
Teammates could help each other snatch up heroes first, and then exchange
them with each other before the game began.
Bai Cai clicked to exchange, but Wei Xiao didn’t accept.
Bai Cai clicked again, and Wei Xiao still didn’t move.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
After entering the game, Wei Xiao finally spoke up, “Ah, I just went to the
bathroom and forgot to exchange heroes with you.”
Bai Cai: “You motherf*cker, you did it on purpose!”
He’d just been thinking, this beast Wei Xiao hadn’t played support since he
entered this industry. How could he play support for him?!
Wei Xiao didn’t deny it. He smiled slyly, “Who says that thieves can’t be
support?”
Bai Cai would be damned if he believed him, “You won’t take any kills?”
Wei Xiao: “They’re all yours.”
Bai Cai: “F*ck, laozi is a healer. What can I use to take kills?”
Wei Xiao: “Bubble tune.”
The holy priest had a crowd control skill that allowed them to bounce
around in the crowd.
The control time wasn’t long, but it was deadly when used well.
At first, Bai Cai had thought that Wei Xiao was just trash talking. This
fellow was probably just acting like a brat with him because he didn’t want
to play support, but later…
First blood! Two kills! Killing Spree! Legendary!
In the course of a single game, Brother Cai felt proud and satisfied as he
took down more kills than he had over the course of an entire season.
Defeat!
Um……
Brother Cai, who’d shown off across the entire map and taken 22 kills, still
ended up losing the game.
Wei Xiao sighed, “There really is a level of difficulty involved in ranked
games.”
It was the same routine, but while it could be used to steamroll through a
low ranked game, it didn’t work for the higher ranks. Everyone’s game
awareness didn’t leave room for healers to act so arrogantly.
Additionally, he always felt like the fire mage from the bronze segment was
better at keeping up with him than this professional support player…
It must be his imagination.
His boss was a little cutie… oh, was a newcomer.
Although they’d lost the game, Bai Cai was still in a great mood after
taking so many kills. He took advantage of the opportunity and casually
offered, “I’ll give you a big gift bag in return for your hard work.”
Wei Xiao replied languidly, “I don’t want anything but Close.”
Couldn’t you add the word ‘video’ to the end of it? The words that you
omitted were very problematic!
Bai Cai’s heart was dead as he clicked on ‘forward’, “Check your WeChat.”
Wei Xiao didn’t treat it seriously, “Don’t send me a red envelope, if you
want to send me money, do a direct transfer… f*ck!”
Bai Cai: “Hmph.”
Wei Xiao accepted the video file transfer and confessed his love for him
without hesitation, “Old Bai, I love you!”
Brother Cai couldn’t afford to accept his love, “Get lost, get lost!”
After a minute or so, the beast who said he loved him sent him a voice
message.
Wei Xiao imitated Bai Cai’s voice: “Don’t even think about it! Even if my
head is chopped off! And given to you to use as a football! I still wouldn’t
share the secrets of the team to an outsider like you!”
He wasn’t missing a single phrase, nor was he off by a single word. It was
like he’d copy pasted.
Bai Cai closed his eyes and pretended he was dead!
It was too hard, it was really too hard being him!
FTW base.
After leaving the training room, Lu Feng went upstairs.
Cheng Feng was making preparations to go over the replay. Xiang Liu
followed behind Lu Feng, “…Still okay?”
Lu Feng’s brows furrowed slightly, “It’s fine.”
Xiang Liu lowered his voice, “Your shoulder…”
Lu Feng’s footsteps paused, and he said quietly, “Don’t bring this up at the
base.”
Xiang Liu’s heart was full of worry, “You should tell Old Chen.”
That fellow was still arranging training matches like crazy and didn’t
consider Close’s situation at all!
Lu Feng turned his head to look at him, “Xiang Liu.”
Xiang Liu’s heart stuttered.
Lu Feng continued, “I said I’m fine. I’m clear about my own body.”
Xiang Liu didn’t dare say anything more. Not only was the youth in front of
him the pillar of FTW, he was also his boss. He sighed, “In short… think it
over. I’ll go call the physiotherapist.”
Lu Feng didn’t say anything. He shifted his left shoulder, and the sharp
tingling pain spread from his shoulder and caused twinges in his elbow.
Wei Xiao quickly loaded the video onto his computer, hugged his husky,
rubbed its big head, and started up the replay in delight.
There were a total of four games, and the total game time was 150 minutes.
Gary was amazing for dragging the game on for such a long time before
losing. He was really worthy of being the ten thousand year second sibling!
Both of them were randomly assigned thieves in the first round. Wei Xiao’s
eyes brightened and sparkled like stars when he saw Lu Feng’s thief.
“This backstab was absolutely amazing!”
“Invisibility with the light arc, Soybean, look, Close managed to create nine
light arcs. Your daddy can only create eight!”
Soybean: “Arrooo.”
If it could be translated, it would probably mean something like: What

exactly is this.
“Gary’s not bad, eight light arcs, motherf*cker, Old Second is really
strong!”
“This backstab…”
Wei Xiao grabbed at the husky’s fluffy fur and said anxiously, “The margin
of error is no more than 0.01 seconds, wait, let me recover a little!”
Soybean: “Aroo~”
Wei Xiao clicked to play it again, slowing down the speed and re-watching
it over a dozen times, “Close is stronger.”
It was a two and a half hour video, but it took Wei Xiao six hours to finish
watching it all.
He’d sat down at six in the afternoon and watched non-stop until midnight.
This match was perfect and flawless beyond question.
Close was still the same Close, one who ceaselessly climbed up to the peak.
Gary was also one of the few opponents who could fight against him.
Wei Xiao stared at the darkened computer screen and leaned back in his
chair.
Soybean had already fallen asleep by the chair. Wei Xiao stared at the
ceiling, his hands clenching into fists.
If he hadn’t left two years ago.
The one fighting against Close now would be him.
He was a real opponent for Close.
He would definitely win.
Only…
Wei Xiao raised an arm to cover his eyes.
What lingered in his ear was an elderly voice that had already become a
nightmare, “Don’t be… the same, don’t be like that, be steady and study
well, get a steady job, and live a simple and happy life…”
Wei Xiao exhaled gently and sat up, “Soybean, come eat a late night
snack.”
The husky heard the words ‘late night snack’, and its tail wagged and shot
straight up to the sky as it scurried after its master.
Wei Xiao cooked himself a bowl of noodles and came out in time to see the
ground covered in dog food. He said angrily, “Can’t you be more refined?!”
Soybean snorted and ate even more happily. There had been half a bowl of
dog food, but half of it ended up splashed out all over the floor.
Wei Xiao: “You doggy thing!”
He might scold it, but he ultimately still let it do as it pleased.
After eating, Wei Xiao opened up the video again. He’d already watched it
for six hours and might understand more of the details than even the L&P
team’s coaching team.
For the next hour, Wei Xiao stared at Close’s multiple extreme operations
over and over again…
“F*ck!”
At one o’clock in the morning, Wei Xiao closed the video, took out his cell
phone and called Bai Cai, “Old Bai.”
Bai Cai wasn’t surprised at all. He even wanted to say: Here it comes.
Wei Xiao: “Help me arrange people. I want to solo.”
Bai Cai rolled his eyes, “Couldn’t you have f*cking said it earlier?”
He’d sent him the video at six in the evening. Had he only finished
watching it at one in the morning?
Wei Xiao said directly, “Create a group and contact everyone you can get in
touch with. Half price discount, and it comes with a special Easter egg.”
Bai Cai had just known that it would turn out like this. Every time he
watched Close’s matches, he would let it get to his head.
But this time, there was also an Easter egg. Bai Cai asked, “What kind of
egg?”
Wei Xiao laughed briefly, “No matter who it is, as long as they win against
me, I’ll be their training partner for life.”
Juurensha: Close: possibly decimates everyone in order to get the Easter
egg xiin: *cuddles Wei Xiaoxiao* it’ll be okay~
Ch11 - Idle Grandmaster seeking
abuse online
There was no doubt about it, this fellow had gone completely crazy!
Bai Cai retorted, “Are you really treating my China competition zone like
there’s nobody left? Believe it or not, I’m going to find a big guy and blow
you up!”
Wei Xiao sighed lightly, “If you can get Close here, I’ll thank your eight
generations of ancestors.”
Bai Cai suspected that he was cursing him, and he even had the evidence,
“You go wild, then!”
Wei Xiao was currently caught up in his excitement and urged him, “Stop
dragging your feet, can you find people or not? If not, I’ll head over to your
Weibo and appeal to your tens of millions of fans…”
“F*ck.” Bai Cai was scared of him now, “You just wait!”
Wei Xiao really waited obediently. He sat there motionless in his e-sports
chair, his body seemingly boneless as he lay back. His eyes were fixed on
the word ‘Victory’ on the computer screen.
Some people were natural born warriors.
His boiling blood needed an outlet.
Was he just looking to win?
No, what he wanted was to have a proper fight!

Ten minutes later, Bai Cai finished pulling the group together, and the name
of the group was incredibly cocky––’Idle Grandmaster seeking abuse
online’.
Grandmaster Wei: “Bai Cai, f*ck your daddy.”
Bai Cai: “Are you not idle?”
Wei Xiao: “Do you really think of yourself as a f*cking pimp?”
Bai Cai: “Being a pimp is still better than serving you.”
Wei Xiao didn’t talk any further nonsense with him and changed the group
name himself.
So, the few professional players who’d just come in watched the group
name change from ‘Idle Grandmaster seeking abuse online’ to ‘Invincible
Grandmaster seeking defeat’.”
Yu Fei: “……”
Chen Chao: “…………”
Xia Dan: “………………”
Blue: “……………………”
For a moment, they couldn’t figure out which group name was cockier!
Bai Cai saw that everyone was there and didn’t bother with nonsense. He
laid it all out and said, “Everyone is an old customer here. It’s time for
Grandmaster’s regular bout of madness. Oh, it’s the regular distribution of
benefits. Old rules, half price promotion, wheel war.”
Brother Cai purposely paused for a moment, then announced, “In order to
inspire everyone’s fighting spirit, there’s an Easter egg this time.”
These were all old customers. None of them felt that these two pieces of
work could arrange any normal Easter eggs.
“As long as you’re able to win against the Grandmaster in a solo match, no
matter who it is, the Grandmaster will provide lifelong training partner
services for free.”
The four people in the group: “F*ck! The stakes are so high!”
“Lifelong training partner?”
“Free?”
Wei Xiao was calm, “That’s right.”
Yu Fei, Chen Chao, and Xia Dan’s blood heated and they were caught up in
the moment, “I’m in!”
Blue pondered for a moment and stretched out a small feeler, “It’s a little
difficult to win a game. Can killing him once count?”
The other three were shocked by Blue’s shamelessness and spoke out one
after another––”Old Blue, what’s the matter with you?”
Yu Fei: “As the strongest top-lane in the country’s servers, how can you be
so… quick-witted!”
Chen Chao: “You’re making me, the national server’s mage king, feel
ashamed of myself, hey!”
Xia Dan: “Can you guys have a little ambition? For better or worse, we’re
all professional players. Where’s our professionalism? Integrity? I’m
different. I feel that I should get the Easter egg as long as my arrow is able
to hit the Grandmaster.”
Bai Cai rolled his eyes. Sure enough, he who stays near vermilion gets
stained red, and he who stays near ink gets stained black. Thinking back,
these four people had been pure and flawless when they first met Wei Xiao,
just like granny gray in the training room next door. Now…
Where did these old beasts come from?!

It was no wonder the China competition zone was in such a slump. It would
be strange if they were able to obtain a championship with their hopes
pinned on these unambitious things!
Wei Xiao sent a smiley emoticon, “Coming or not?”
Three of them all agreed in unison, “Coming!”
It was impossible for them to bargain. At the very least, those who had
already dumped six figures worth of money on Wei Xiao would never miss
this half-price discount opportunity.
Wei Xiao started up a private room and asked, “Who’s first?”
Yu Fei raised his hand to sign up, “Me!”
The other three fired off sympathetic emoticons at him.
Yu Fei was a jungler. He used assassin type heroes to fight against the
Grandmaster, which was another way of saying that he was rushing to his
death.
For him to charge in so fearlessly was both admirable and pitiable.
Wei Xiao paused for a moment, then gave him a friendly reminder, “I only
want to play thief tonight. Are you sure you want to go first?”
Yu Fei: “Ah?”
Chen Chao was also surprised, “Grandmaster, you’re using thief?”
Xia Dan: “No way, thieves are banned by default!”
Blue said darkly, “Sure enough, this is a treacherous banquet.”
Bai Cai watched how they shriveled up, and his hands felt itchy. It was
fortunate that they weren’t his teammates. If they were, he wouldn’t give
them heals at all and would directly put a poison ring on their heads, poison
them all to death, and be done with it!
These old bastard pros had an exceptionally thorough understanding of Wei
Xiao.
For example, Grandmaster never soloed with supports, because as a jungler,

one needed to have the graceful demeanor of protecting one’s healer.
For example, Grandmaster was very strong with all heroes and all talent
specs, and when he entered customized solo matches with others, he would
usually use the hero that the other party was good at to beat up the other
party.
Another example of their understanding was that Grandmaster was

strongest with thieves, but he didn’t often bring them out to play. He was
afraid that he would beat people up until they entered seclusion, only to ruin
his own business.
Now…
The four of them all had the same thought: “Is there still enough time to
leave the group now?!”
Bai Cai saw through their thoughts as a glance, “Half price discount, with
such an attractive Easter egg. If you guys aren’t interested, I’ll call over
other people.”
“I’m in, I’m in, I’m in.”
“One can always achieve more as long as they have a desire to do so!”
“Isn’t it just a thief? I’ve survived being a corpse beneath God Lu’s blade
before!”
The one who’d spoken was Xia Dan. He hadn’t been much afraid of
anything when he’d just started on his career and had bravely signed up for
the individual competition. In round one, he’d met Lu Feng. And then…
How could there be any ‘and then’!
Wei Xiao: “Since that’s the case, then Egg God should go first.”
Xia Dan: “Ah?”
Wei Xiao had already dragged him into the match room.
Xia Dan: “Oh shit, I’m not ready yet ahhhhhh!”
As long as they knew the room number, anyone could join and watch the
fight.
Wei Xiao and Xia Dan had already entered the canyon, and the people in
the group were enthusiastically discussing the match.
Yu Fei: “I’m putting down a 200 yuan red envelope. I bet that Egg God can
last for more than ten minutes this match.”
Chen Chao: “I bet 400. Egg God can only last eight minutes at most!”
Bai Cai put down 1000, “Five minutes.”
Yu Fei: “That’s impossible! The game mechanisms are still there. It’s
impossible to make a push to the opponent’s crystal in five minutes.”
Blue was pessimistic, “What if Brother Egg surrenders in five minutes?”
Although Wei Xiao had no way to remove Xia Dan’s crystal in five
minutes, he could still beat Xia Dan up to the point where he surrendered.
Players could choose to directly surrender after five minutes in a solo

match.
Chen Chao was shocked, “That’s not possible. My Brother Egg is a top
ADC player in Glory. Where’s his dignity as a professional player?!”
Five minutes later, Xia Dan cried as he came back to the group, “Too fierce,
it’s really too cruel. I never want to see another thief again in my life,
there’s a problem with this hero. What’s the matter with the game
designers? Keep nerfing it, no, just delete the hero directly!”
Chen Chao had lost his red envelope. “Can’t you be less f*cking
shameless!”
Then, the mage king Chen Chao was dragged into the match room.
When he went in, God Chao was still a mage king. When he came back out,
God Chao was already dead.
Yu Fei, who’d written such a good poem, was also called in.
For better or worse, he was still a jungler in one of the top four teams. God
Fei held on, and even managed to show some signs of a counterattack.
However, after the shadow thief used eight light arcs, he went crazy,
“Goddamn! Who exactly are you? Gary? Inta? You can’t be Close,
right?!!!”
Other than the three men who ranked in the top, he couldn’t think of anyone
else with this level of skill!
The group chat that had been noisy and bustling earlier was now as quiet as
a chicken.
Chen Chao: “It’s very obvious that the Grandmaster is Chinese.”
Xia Dan: “It’s very obvious that God Lu’s voice doesn’t sound like this.”
Blue: “What I really can’t understand is, how come none of the big clubs
have signed him if we have such a big daddy in our competition zone?”
Bai Cai looked very seriously at the game interface.
He’d seen the training match between Lu Feng and Gary this afternoon.
Because it wasn’t a customized game, the heroes for the training match
were random. He didn’t know if it was Gary’s bad luck, or Lu Feng’s good
luck, but in short, Lu Feng had gotten a thief in the first match.
In Lu Feng’s hands, this hero was nothing short of a miracle.

When it came to any kind of top-level operation, there were only moves
that you couldn’t think of, and nothing that God Lu couldn’t do.
Most of the world’s top god-level players were good at heroes that had a
high level of difficulty in operation. For example, Gary’s signature hero was
also a shadow thief.
However…
He’d lost badly at Lu Feng’s hands.
Take the shadow thief’s invisibility and light arcs as an example. Ordinary
players could create three light arcs, and most professional players could
only create five.
Two years ago, Lu Feng had won the world championship using eight light
arcs, breaking the current record.
At the time, the data analysts had said that this was the limit, and it couldn’t
go any higher.
Now…
Nine arcs.
It sounded like a simple number, but nobody could know exactly how much
sweat and effort had gone into it.
It was no wonder that Wei Xiao would be affected and chase after him on
the sly for two years. It wasn’t easy for them to meet again, but Lu Feng
had already climbed up to stand at an even higher position.
Glory’s individual competition was the cruelest and also the most authentic
event in the history of e-sports.
There was only one person.
Everyone only looked at one person.

Strength was strength. There was no doubting it.
Seven o’clock in the morning.
Yu Fei: “No way, I really can’t anymore…”
Chen Chao: “Old Egg, our two teams still have a training match this
afternoon. Are you not sleeping?”
Xia Dan: “ZzzZzzZzzZzz.”
Blue’s reason was quite realistic, “My wallet’s balance is insufficient, I’m
leaving, I’m leaving.”
Six hours later, the people who were attacking as part of the wheel race ran
off, and the person who’d been on the receiving end was still full of energy.
Bai Cai yawned, “Beast!”
Was he f*cking human?
Being nineteen was great, hey, he was only one year older than Wei Xiao,
but how come this difference in energy made it seem like they were a
hundred years apart?!
Bai Cai sent Wei Xiao a voice call, “There’s probably a bit over 20,000 in
the account. I’ll transfer it to you in a bit.”
Wei Xiao’s voice was a little hoarse. He was inevitably still a little tired,
“Old Bai…”
Bai Cai was sorting out the replay videos. In any case, the training room
had emptied out a long time ago, so he directly turned on the speaker,
“What’s up, did you not play enough?”
Wei Xiao sighed and said, “They all don’t cut it.”
Bai Cai: “Wake up! The only ones who are left are in the support teams or
the children from the youth training teams. You can’t even let them off the
hook?”
“Ah,” Wei Xiao’s voice was low and quiet, and sounded a little pitiful, “… I
really want Close.”
There was a bang.
The sound of something falling to the floor.
Bai Cai turned his head, and sucked in a breath.
There was someone standing at the training room door.
Even if their back was against the light, that height, that figure––
Captain Lu… God Lu…
Was it already time for your morning run?!
Also…
Bai Cai looked at his cell phone that was on speaker, and thought of Wei
Xiao’s words…
F*ck, what kind of dangerous wordswere these!
The author has something to say:
God Lu, did you hear that! [Super loud]
Additional note: Regarding the game and competition format, hey, it’s all
made up. Don’t bring reality into it, it’s not based on anything. Love you
guys!
Juurensha: Oh man, of course Lu Feng heard that. xiin: Bai Cai’s life is
hard…
Ch12 - You were going to do it just
because he wanted to?
Wei Xiao’s voice came out of his phone’s speaker, “What was that sound?
Old Bai, did you smash the keyboard with your face?”
To hell with smashing the keyboard with his face! It’s your God Lu’s sports
water bottle that was shocked into falling to the ground by your words!
But did Bai Cai dare to say so?
He didn’t even dare to breathe too deeply.
Lu Feng bent over and quietly picked up his water bottle.
Bai Cai opened his mouth and wanted to say hello, but Lu Feng stretched
out his index finger and made a gesture against his lips.
Bai Cai: “……”
F*ck!
Wei Xiao, who was on the other side of the phone and didn’t know
anything, was still in a state of disappointment, “They’re all professional
players, but how could the gap be so big? Yu Fei and the other three added
together can’t even compare to one of Close’s fingers.”
When he heard this, the corner of Lu Feng’s mouth curved slightly.
Bai Cai could see it very clearly, and he just wanted to escape and preserve
his own life.
“Say, why is Close so strong? Two years ago, he pressured me until I lost
my breath, and two years later… Oh, he’s probably forgotten who I am by
now.”
Bai Cai thought in his heart: He remembers, he remembers very clearly.

Kid, you just spoke half a sentence, and he smashed two million on you!
Wei Xiao sighed with too much emotion, “People are really different. A
genius like Close can only be encountered by luck and won’t be found on
demand.”
Bai Cai really wanted to roll his eyes: Is it it fun for you as a GENIUS with
capital letters to say such a thing?!
“Old Bai,” Wei Xiao was perplexed, “Why aren’t you talking?”
Bai Cai glanced at Lu Feng, seeking instructions.
Lu Feng glanced at Bai Feng’s cell phone, indicating that he should reply.
What could this cabbage do?
He could only steel himself and go up.
After spending over a year with Lu Feng, he had built up quite a bit of
understanding and foresight.
He thought about Lu Feng’s purpose and understood the score in his heart.
“If you want Close…” Bai Cai’s heart shivered when he said these words,
but he forced himself to remain calm, “Then come to FTW.”
Wei Xiao was silent.
Bai Cai snuck a glance at Lu Feng and saw him staring at the cell phone. He
felt that he’d already figured out the ‘Emperor’s wishes’ quite well and
continued to exert himself, “FTW’s starting line-up just happens to be short
a person, you can come fill that position.”
“Can you decide that?” Wei Xiao made a dismissive sound and said sourly,
“Didn’t Close decide on someone a long time ago?”
The person he’d decided on is you!
Bai Cai didn’t dare to say it out loud and instead took a detour, “Anything’s
possible as long as the contract hasn’t been signed.”
Wei Xiao was self-deprecating, “Nah, it’s still possible to run off after going
to the base.” He was talking about himself.
Bai Cai was worried that bringing up old history would make Lu Feng
unhappy and interrupted him, “Do you want to come or not? As long as you
want to, I promise we can reach an agreement!”
Wei Xiao: “Not going.”
This heartless little beast!
Bai Cai didn’t dare to look at Lu Feng. He just felt that his back was cold,
and the floor heating in the training room seemed to have disappeared
instantly!
“What are you holding back for? Based on your level, FTW would sign you
based on a casual solo match. The signing fees now are even higher than
they were two years ago. Even Little Ning got three million. If you come…
wouldn’t it be several times higher!”
Bai Cai was very confident about this. Just based on the two million that
Captain Lu had spent on the ‘vanguard’, this stinky kid Wei Xiao was still
worth a lot of money!
Wei Xiao drawled, “What’s so good about playing professionally? I don’t

want to win the championship, and I’m not interested in team competitions.
As for the money, I’m making so much now I can’t spend it all. Any more
would be a burden.”
Bai Cai’s lips twitched. You’re really an unambitious One Lamp

Grandmaster who wants nothing from life!
However, the problem was that if you were really unambitious and wanted
for nothing, then you wouldn’t f*cking stay up in the middle of the night
and abuse four professional players until their wallets were empty!
Bai Cai beat him with a heavy hammer, “FTW has Close.”
Wei Xiao made an ‘Ah’ sound. Based on the sound, he seemed to be really
sad.
Bai Cai accurately poked at his weakness, “If you come to FTW and see
Captain Lu all the time, won’t you be able to solo with him whenever you
want to? I’m not exaggerating, but our God Lu can promise to accompany
you until the end.”
Wei Xiao spoke faintly, “He really can. His physical strength is better than
any other man I’ve ever met.”
How come perfectly normal words took on a different flavor when they
came out of this kid’s mouth!
“So…” Bai Cai struck while the iron was hot, “Are you coming to FTW or
not!”
Wei Xiao paused for half a second, “Old Bai, it’s hard to find a balance
between life and human affairs.”
Bai Cai: “???”
Wei Xiao let out a long sigh, “It’s impossible for me to play professionally.
Just let Close become the one unobtainable thing in my life.”
Bai Cai: “??????”
He’d been doing his best to convince him for ten minutes, but this was the
result?!
Bai Cai turned back to look at Lu Feng.

There was no change in Lu Feng’s demeanor. He wasn’t surprised, nor was
he too angry… probably.
Bai Cia’s mouth moved silently as he asked for the next set of instructions.
Lu Feng typed out a sentence in the notes of his phone, “Yue Wenle is
awake and will solo with him.”
Bai Cai understood instantly!
“Ah, I just saw Old Yue!” Bai Cai’s acting skills were remarkable.
Wei Xiao yawned, “God Le wakes up so early? You didn’t see wrong,
right? At this time, it’s only Close who’ll be awake for his morning run.”
Bai Cai was really scared of this damned brat, “Are you treating me like
I’m blind? Captain Lu is one meter nine, and Old Yue is one meter eight.
You think I can’t tell the difference?”
Wei Xiao: “You have a point.”
Bai Cai urged him, “Do you want to play with our zone’s number one ADC
and have a solo match?”
FTW was the championship team of the China competition zone in 2019.
As the starting team’s ADC, Yue Wenle deserved his title as number one.
Bai Cai continued, “Old Yue is more than several levels higher than Xia
Dan.”
Wei Xiao instantly became spirited, “Alright, will he come?”
Although Yue Wenle had been hammered into exploding by Wei Xiao when
he was in the support team, his skill back then was not the same as now.
The Yue Wenle who’d experienced several big competitions was no longer
an ignorant newcomer.
He was quite looking forward to it.

Bai Cai glanced at Lu Feng and went on, “I’ll ask for you.”
Wei Xiao: “Quickly!”
Bai Cai pretended to push the chair away and shouted into the distance,
“Old Yue~”
He then came back to say to Wei Xiao, “I’ll hang up first. We’ll
communicate by text.”
Wei Xiao: “’Kay!”
After hanging up the phone, Bai Cai let out a long sigh of relief.
Lu Feng asked, “Stayed awake all night?”
How could Bai Cai not understand what he meant? He hurried to explain,
“That kid watched the video of your fight with Gary and it all went to his
head. He soloed with people all night.”
Lu Feng: “Who did he look for?”
Bai Cai thought to himself that it should be fine, so he opened his mouth
and thoroughly sold out all of these ‘big customers’.
Lu Feng: “The record?”
Bai Cai: “Wei Xiao won them all.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Although it was just a single word, Bai Cai seemed to hear the meaning of
‘that’s about right’ from it.
He was overthinking it, he must be overthinking it!
Their great demon king was a champion machine without feelings. How
could he express such a rich level of emotions?!
Bai Cai asked tentatively, “Captain, are you going to solo with him?”
Lu Feng sat down in front of the computer. He turned it on and started

checking over it all in one go, “Didn’t he want to?”
You were going to do it just because he wanted to?
F*ck, what kind of gay thing was this? As a straight man, he really
shouldn’t go and accompany girls to form CPs. His brain circuits weren’t
functioning right!
Wei Xiao’s WeChat bombardment came, “How’d it go how’d it go how’d it

go?”
Bai Cai really couldn’t understand. How could Wei Xiao, who’d soloed all
night long, be so energetic!
Did the word ‘tired’ even exist in his dictionary?!
Internet addict teenagers really couldn’t be provoked.
“He’s here. I’ll invite you.” Bai Cai replied to Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao was in a good mood, “In order to show respect to God Le, I’ll use
a thief.”
Bai Cai’s lips twisted: Just wait for your punishment, stinky boy.
Bai Cai asked Lu Feng, “Custom mode. Captain, what are you using?”
Lu Feng: “Ice hunter.”
This was the hero Yue Wenle was famous for, the one that Wei Xiao had
once pressed down and smeared all over the ground.
Wei Xiao saw the hero that ‘Yue Wenle’ selected, and the excitement he felt
in his heart experienced a discount.
Thieves didn’t have a natural advantage over hunters.
But a shadow thief was definitely an ice hunter’s nightmare.
There were quite a few talent builds for hunters that could engage in close-
combat, and there were even summoner-class builds that had the power to
fight against a shadow thief. It was only the ice hunter who couldn’t hold up
against the shadow thief when it came to melee.
Yue Wenle was the top ADC in China competition zone’s, but that was in
5v5.
There was a big difference between team competitions and individual

matches. For example, with the ice hunter build. Although it was difficult
for it to gain an advantage in solo matches, it became a big daddy in team
games.
As long as there was a support to protect him, once the ice hunter powered
up, its ice arrows could shatter the skies and destroy the earth.
Not only the squishy thief, even a grand paladin would have no way to
survive beneath its arrows.
Yue Wenle was very strong. In the China competition zone… no, he was
one of the most famous ADCs in the world.
However, he was taking an ice hunter to solo against Wei Xiao’s shadow
thief, which was like hitting a stone with an egg.
When faced with the loading interface, Wei Xiao was disappointed.
Using the ice hunter to win against his shadow thief… there was only one
person in the world who’d done that.
That was Close from two years ago.
Sigh, why did he have to encounter Close?

During the winter vacation of his third year in high school, he really
shouldn’t have clicked in to watch the live broadcast of the global finals in a
moment of curiosity!
Wei Xiao, whose thoughts had wandered, caught some differences when he
came face to face with this ice hunter.
This ice hunter… was very detailed!
He seemed to know that Wei Xiao would stalk him when they were level
one. His movements were extremely delicate, perfectly avoiding all
possible angles of attack while simultaneously not missing a single soldier!
The small soldiers were worth experience and money. Experience was used
to upgrade and enhance the skills, and money was used to buy equipment to
strengthen DPS.
In MOBA type games, personal skills and awareness was important, but
without economy, everything else was empty talk!
The so-called individual player’s ability wasn’t based on an illogical ability

to take down a level ten when they were level one, but more focused on a
professional player’s ability to seize and control resources, be able to farm
more efficiently, and level up as quickly as possible. All of that plus their
individual operations was what really made for a showy display.
Wei Xiao was able to hold down professional players because he had a very
unique talent when it came to ‘snatching economy’.
Pressuring the lane, killing soldiers, controlling the jungle creeps, and even
getting the last hit for a defense tower, were all details that he kept track of
himself. Don’t look down on the details––economy was accumulated bit by
bit just like this!
Wei Xiao’s first attack was only able to slightly glance off the ice hunter. At
the same time, he also lost a chunk of health from an ice arrow.
“Not bad!”
Wei Xiao sat up straight.
He calculated the time needed to clear the little creeps that would come out
of the bushes to the left, but unexpectedly, the ice hunter shot out an icy
cold arrow…
For the first time, Wei Xiao, who could control his own health and damage
to the utmost, had been counter-calculated!
His basic attack hadn’t even made it when the little creep was stolen by the
ice hunter!
Only the last hit would count for experience and gold. Wei Xiao had
worked busily for a good while, only to end up giving away all the benefits
to someone else.
“Having experience in big competitions really makes a difference.”
Wei Xiao calmed down and continued looking for opportunities. His eyes
remained fixed on the ice hunter, taking in his positioning, his operations,
the way he linked skills, and calculated his CD (skill cooldown) time…
For some reason, he felt that there was a strong sense of familiarity.
Two years ago, he’d been shot to pieces by an ice hunter who was just like
this.
At the time, it had been Close.
Now, it was Yue Wenle.
It was two different people, but why were there so many similarities?
There was only one answer––
As Close’s teammate, Yue Wenle could solo with him however and
whenever he wanted.
Yue Wenle’s current play style must have been personally taught by Close!
A fire erupted in Wei Xiao’s heart.
Damn it!
The one thing he wanted but couldn’t obtain, was something that was at
another person’s disposal!
God Lu, your family’s little lunatic is eating vinegar

hahahahahahahahahahaha
Juurensha: WX, just join the team gdi

Ch13 - They only want a boyfriend
Once this thought entered his mind, Wei Xiao looked at the ice hunter on
his screen and found it to be like a thorn in his eye no matter how he looked
at it!
There was no way for Wei Xiao to remember everything from the 48 hours
two years ago.
However, the game where he’d been hammered down by Close’s ice arrow
while he played a shadow thief was one he remembered very clearly.
At the time, they had already soloed for a full day and night, and Wei Xiao,
who’d lost nearly 100 games, didn’t even have the slightest intention of
backing down at all. He would swiftly send Lu Feng another game
invitation each time, and then quickly begin the next game.
All the way until the 101th game, when Wei Xiao took the ‘king of solo’
shadow thief, and Lu Feng on the opposing side took the ‘little brother of
solo’ ice hunter.
At the time, Wei Xiao had stretched his head out and looked at Lu Feng,
“What’s the meaning of this?”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t take it easy on me. I’m not afraid of losing.”
Picking the ice hunter was simply looking down on him. He wasn’t
interested in this kind of solo game with an unequal playing ground.
Despite staying up for an entire day and night, Lu Feng’s eyes and
eyebrows didn’t carry many traces of fatigue. His lips lifted, “It’s taboo to
underestimate your opponent.”
Wei Xiao pouted, “This is solo! An ice hunter without a support’s
protection is even worse than a lane soldier.”
Lu Feng did not explain further, “Start the game.”
Wei Xiao clicked start, but his mouth was still muttering complaints, “I
don’t care, it doesn’t count if I win this match. You have to continue soloing
with me.”
On the other side of their opposing computer screens, Lu Feng couldn’t see
Wei Xiao’s expression, but his voice couldn’t help but turn soft, “Okay.”
And then…
Wei Xiaoxiao was so shocked from his loss that his mouth dropped open,
“This, this…”
Lu Feng glanced at him, “Is the ice hunter weak?”
Wei Xiao was still engrossed in his shock, “Weak…”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “The ice hunter is very weak, but you’re too strong. You’re
strong at everything, f*ck, Close, how could you be so powerful!”
He stood up, his eyes locking on Lu Feng. Inside his gaze was undisguised
heat, so hot that it made the tip of his heart burn.
Bai Cai had said one thing right.
Wei Xiao had really used him, then tossed him away.
Although, this ‘using’ had been unintentional.
The fear of being dominated by an ice hunter two years ago once again
pressed down on Wei Xiao’s head.
However, he wasn’t a person who would be overwhelmed by fear. On the
contrary, the more pressured he was, the braver he would become, and he
only became more excited when he faced the strong.
Ten minutes later, the ice hunter completed a three-piece set (three core
pieces of equipment), and its DPS output instantly exploded. Even if Wei
Xiao’s economy wasn’t behind, it was unfortunate that he couldn’t even get
close to the ice hunter despite having all-DPS gear.
If his economy had been better, Wei Xiao could switch to defensive
equipment and sneak his way over to attack the ice hunter. As long as he
could use a combination of skills, he would definitely be able to kill him.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to snatch away any gold. He wasn’t even able
to snatch away a single dollar from this ice hunter’s hands!
Wei Xiao was exceedingly familiar with the terrain for solo, but the ice
hunter seemed to be more familiar with it than he was.
Wei Xiao knew the shadow thief hero like the back of his hand, but the ice
hunter on the opposite side could see through his thoughts completely.
Was he really so strong?!
Was growth this quick for players who spent a year under Close and
competed in several big competitions?!
Wei Xiao’s desire for battle was aroused. He hadn’t felt this kind of feeling
in a long time:
The blood in his entire body woke up, adrenaline surged, and his brain was
unprecedentedly clear and bright, his five senses fully magnified.
He couldn’t hear any external sounds. He only heard the footsteps in the
canyon, the rustle of the grass, and the sound of skill releases…
His fingers seemed to be directly connected to his brain. Every shake of his
mouse, every press and rebound of the keyboard was extremely accurate
and never felt cumbersome.
He liked this kind of feeling. He’d always been searching for this feeling.
The hot-blooded battle rush he’d experienced two years ago when he fought
against Close.
Tense, exciting.
This kind of excitement that mobilized all his nerves was the unyielding
fighting spirit that could only be aroused when he met genuinely strong
players!
On the other side.
Bai Cai’s scalp was tingling from watching.
Although he wasn’t by Wei Xiao’s side, and although it was across the
internet, he could already feel the ‘crazy’ energy of the shadow thief just
from looking at the screen.
This was the boiling passion that could only be transmitted through the
characters in the game. It was the surging fighting spirit that had been
completely aroused and let loose. It was the passion of youth, the endless
desire for victory!
Bai Cai thought back to the days two years ago when he’d been Wei Xiao’s
support, following him around to challenge all the big clubs.
Arrogant, unbridled, reckless.
At the time, they’d been like wildly growing seeds that had been planted in
the soil, slicing through the quiet China competition zone with unstoppable
momentum.
That’s right.
It was no wonder that Lu Feng had always kept a little lunatic like this in
mind and never forgotten him in the past two years.
There were many excellent players, but natural warriors could only be
encountered by luck.
Wei Xiao was like a sword, with the courage and ability to break through
the haze!
28 minutes in.
The battle situation was nearly settled. An ice hunter who’d developed to
such a stage wouldn’t be afraid even if the shadow thief managed to sneak
close. It could easily shoot the shadow thief down with two casual arrows.
Victory and defeat had already been determined, and there was no suspense
about the outcome.
Bai Cai suddenly thought of something and spoke up, “Oh, right! Wei Xiao
also offered up an Easter egg tonight.”
Lu Feng stared at the thief on the screen, “Easter egg?”
Bai Cai hurriedly said, “Yes! This kid tossed down the gauntlet. Today, as
long as anyone can win against him, he’ll be their training partner for life!”
How wonderful, God Lu was definitely going to win against Wei Xiao. This
little bastard could be Captain Lu’s training partner for life!
Bai Cai, who thought he’d done a good thing, suddenly froze.
What?
What, what?
There was a huge ‘Defeat’ on the computer screen.
God Lu lost?
God Lu, who had obtained such a huge advantage and was just one step
short of shattering Wei Xiao’s resurrection crystal, had lost?
How was that possible!
In that mere second…
What happened?!
The game ended, and they returned to the match room. The chat box
popped up with Wei Xiao’s words: “What’s the matter? Why surrender?”
Bai Cai finally saw the light. It turned out that the captain had surrendered.
No, wait… why?!
Why would he surrender?! He was just as confused as Wei Xiao.
He could only watch on as Lu Feng typed three words: “Get some rest.”
Then, he quit the room.
Bai Cai: “???”
What had happened? What the hell just happened?!
Lu Feng stood up, picked up his sports water bottle, and said, “You too. Get
some sleep.”
Bai Cai couldn’t keep himself from asking, “… Captain, why did you
surrender?”
He was clearly about to win. If he’d won, he’d have locked in a lifelong
training partner!
Lu Feng spoke a sentence very calmly.
Bai Cai froze.
Lu Feng had just left when Bai Cai’s cell phone exploded.
Wei Xiao’s WeChat messages flew in one after another––

“What’s going on?”
“Yue Wenle left?”
“Why did he surrender?”
“It’s not like laozi can’t afford to lose!”
Bai Cai thought of Lu Feng’s words and felt a serious headache. He picked
up his cell phone, thought about it, and asked, “Haven’t you figured it out
yet?”
On the other side of the phone, Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment, then
cursed like he’d just been struck by lightning.
He called Bai Cai, “The ice hunter just now was Close?”
Bai Cai sighed, “Yes.”
Wei Xiao didn’t say anything for a long time. He clutched the cell phone
tightly, and his voice trembled slightly, “He… why did he surrender.”
Two years ago, 48 hours. They had fought 144 matches, and Close had
taken every game seriously.
This time, why had he…
Bai Cai found it a little difficult to say out loud, “It was my cheap mouth.”
Wei Xiao: “What?”
Bai Cai said, “I told him about the Easter egg.”
Wei Xiao was momentarily unable to figure it out.
Bai Cai closed his eyes, and told Wei Xiao the words Lu Feng had left
behind––
“Captain Lu told me to tell you, he doesn’t need a training partner.”

It was like Wei Xiao had pressed down on the mute button. There was no
sound from the other end.
Bai Cai felt a strange pang of heartache, “Old Wei, you…”
Beepbeepbeep, there was a busy tone from the phone. Wei Xiao had hung
up.
Inside the single apartment.
Wei Xiao, who hadn’t felt tired despite staying up all night, collapsed onto
the bed at this moment.
The computer screen was still on, and he was alone in the empty room.
There were only two sentences in the chat box.
“What the matter? Why surrender?”
“Get some rest.”
––Captain Lu told me to tell you, he doesn’t need a training partner.”
“F*ck!”
Wei Xiao picked up the pillow and pressed it down against his forehead.
That was Close.
Their first time soloing after two years.
Close surrendered.
Because he didn’t need a training partner.
He didn’t need him.

Two years ago, he’d flicked his hand and left. Being despised by others was
something he’d asked for.
He understood all the reasons. His brain understood, but at this moment,
Wei Xiao’s heart still felt like it had been stabbed by a knife.
He clutched tightly to the pillow, his knuckles prominent and white.
It was he who’d let Close down. What gave him the right to feel wronged
now?
Wei Xiao exhaled softly and stood up to take a shower.
He hadn’t turned on the water boiler ahead of time, and the water that came
out was ice cold.
Wei Xiao was chilled into shivering, and after washing up, he went back to
his room.
He might as well sleep. He’d be fine again after he woke up.
Wei Xiao hugged Soybean, rubbed against his neck, and tried to go to sleep.
Soybean seemed to be aware of its master’s mood and was well-behaved for
once.
Wei Xiao couldn’t fall asleep at all. The more he wanted to sleep, the more
impossible it was to sleep. Those three words were on repeat whenever he
closed his eyes.
He didn’t need, he didn’t need, he didn’t need.
“To hell with sleeping!” Wei Xiao sat up.
Doggy: “Aroo?”
Wei Xiao stroked its head, “Your daddy’s going to play games for a bit.”
Soybean followed him out of bed and curled up at his feet.

Wei Xiao clicked to queue for a ranked match, wanting to become an
emotionless rank pushing machine.
The first game had just ended when his cell phone rang.
Wei Xiao picked up his cell phone. It was a message from the
accompanying player platform.
LU: “So early?”
Wei Xiao wasn’t in the mood to be an accompanying player, but he’d

already collected the money and had to be dedicated to his job, “Good
morning, boss. Do you want to play.”
The other side paused for a moment, “You were up all night?”
Wei Xiao was expressionless as he typed, “No way, just woke up ^_^.”
LU: “Alright, let’s play for a while.”
Wei Xiao: “’Kay. I’ll switch accounts.”
If Close didn’t need him, then forget it. There would always be someone
who needed him. Look, his two million boss really needed him!
Wei Xiao told himself that he couldn’t let his personal emotions affect his
work, but unfortunately, his mood wasn’t so easily controlled.
No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to improve the atmosphere.
After the third game ended, LU asked him, “Bad mood?”
Wei Xiao’s mood was so bad it was rotten. “No.”
LU: “Did something happen?”
Sigh, the boss was rich and caring. He was a good person.
Wei Xiao felt really apologetic, “Sorry, it affected you. These three games
don’t count.”
LU: “It’s okay. You played very well, we’ve been winning.”
Wei Xiao typed, “Winning is a given. You’re spending money for

entertainment. I shouldn’t influence your mood.”
LU: “It’s not so serious, but it’s better to say it if there’s something on your
mind. Of course, that’s only if you don’t mind.”
Wei Xiao’s heart was mired in depression. He really didn’t mind chatting
about it with this anonymous ‘internet friend’, “It’s a small matter…”
LU: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao thought about it for a moment, then used another method to
express his thoughts, “It’s like this… well, I accompanied my girlfriend to
do her homework, and then when we came to a certain problem, I told her
that if she could answer it, I would be her tutor for a lifetime. But then, she
gave up on the problem and said that she didn’t need that.”
After he finished, Wei Xiao felt that he was simply a genius.
He’d managed to explain this matter so clearly without disclosing any

information at all!
FTW base.
Lu Feng stared at the chat box in surprise for a moment.
He shook his head and laughed quietly, then typed, “You misunderstood.”
Wei Xiao: “How so?”
LU: “They don’t need a tutor because they only want a boyfriend.”

Juurensha: Woooow LF, so smooth. xiin: … it’s a pity that WX is still
clueless, though his sadness made me really wanna hug him. poor baby~
Ch14 - Bai Cai: It’s a teammate,
you fool!
Wei Xiao was confused for a moment.
Was that so?
Close didn’t need a training partner, and instead needed a… ah, wait!
Wei Xiao instantly became happy, “Boss, you really know how to talk. Tell
me more.”
Lu Feng followed the nonsense example he’d given before and added,
“This shows that in their mind, you’re more important than a tutor.”
Wei Xiao: “Hey, that makes sense.”
Most of the gloom in his heart and mind was swept away, and his brain was
clear.
His thoughts had indeed gone in the wrong direction. It wasn’t like how LU
had said, but he’d forgotten his own hidden identity.
From Close’s point of view, the person who’d soloed with him was just a
stranger called ‘One Lamp Grandmaster’.
The one Close didn’t need was just ‘One Lamp Grandmaster’, how was that
related to him as Wei Xiao?
Unless Old Bai had revealed his hidden identity!
Wei Xiao pressed down the urge to demand answers and said patiently,
“Come on then, let’s continue ranking.”
Boss was such a good person, he had to repay him properly!
LU: “You didn’t sleep well because of your girlfriend, right? Go sleep
first.”
Wei Xiao: “It’s okay. I’m used to staying up late.”
LU: “Go sleep.”
It was two simple words, but it inexplicably gave Wei Xiao a familiar
feeling.
Although his real contact with Lu Feng had only lasted for three days and
three nights, the ‘density’ of their contact had led to him having a very good
understanding of Lu Feng.
For example, the way he always meant what he said…
It made people…
Really want to provoke him!
Wei Xiao was cheeky, “Boss, your tone really sounds like my girlfriend.”
LU: “……”
Wei Xiao felt that he’d taken advantage of Lu Feng and felt inexplicably
delighted, “Really, she’s super domineering and loves to manage people.”
Lu Feng stared at that line of words for a long time, “You don’t like it?”
Wei Xiao: “That’s not the case. Her mouth is fierce, but in fact, her heart is
very soft.”
Otherwise, why would he accompany a newbie like him to solo for 48

hours, and let him hold him as he liked while they slept for 24 hours? Tsk, it
was the first time he’d slept with anyone else in his life. From this point of
view, calling Close his girlfriend once was actually quite reasonable and
justified.
Lu Feng looked down. His hands typed out one line on the keyboard––then
why did you leave.
Of course, it was impossible for him to send this out. He pressed the cancel
button and changed it to, “I have something to do over here. I’m logging off
first.”
Wei Xiao hadn’t played around with him enough and was quite regretful,
“That’s it?”
LU: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao couldn’t help making another impudent comment, “I won’t lie,
your cold ‘mm’ is very similar to hers.”
LU: “……”
Wei Xiao seemed to sense that he’d been too impudent and hurriedly
explained, “About that, I’m not teasing you, ah… I’m just…caught up in
the moment. Look, I have a girlfriend, I’m a straight man…” He just had a
trashy mouth.
LU: “I know.”
Then, he quit the team room.
Wei Xiao stared at those two words for a moment, and there was a row of
question marks in his head––
Boss, what do you know?
But he was already gone, and there was no way to ask. Wei Xiao was soon
preoccupied by the big notion he had in his mind.
He made a call straight to the FTW base.
Bai Cai, who’d just bathed, changed, eaten breakfast, and gotten into bed,
“F*ck!”
Wei Xiao: “Comrade Bai Cai, I’ll ask and you answer. If you lie to me, I’ll
send you up to the hot search in the next second.”
The topics ‘Glory god-level support God Bai’ and ‘Gossip Emperor’ put
together would definitely be very popular.
How could Brother Cai sleep? He just wanted to fight desperately with a
certain piece of work over the phone. “What madness are you on about
now?”
Could it be that he’d been overstimulated by that sentence from Close and
wanted to mutually self-destruct with him? But the problem was, the one
who’d stimulated him was Close! Why was Wei Xiao coming over to pull
him in too?!
Wei Xiao: “How did Close know that that thief was me?”
His question was phrased very cleverly. He didn’t ask if Close knew or not,
and instead directly asked how.
Bai Cai, who hadn’t slept all night and then given a scare by him, fell into
the trap. “He… he…”
Wei Xiao sneered.
Bai Cai trembled, “He didn’t know at first, but he recognized you halfway
through the game!”
F*ck, laozi was so smart. He could even smooth out something like this.
Wei Xiao paused for a moment.
There was some logic to this cabbage’s words…
Those 48 hours of solo between him and Close had left him unable to forget
Close. It must also be vivid in Close’s memories, too.
Although two years had passed, it was very hard to change one’s personal
style.
In particular, he was also stimulated by Close, and that no-holds-barred
conduct of his was difficult to hide.
Bai Cai took the opportunity to clear his name, “I really didn’t sell you out.
Would I dare? I was also really shocked. When the two of you first started,
the captain said, ‘This is Wei Xiao, right.’, my god, I was almost scared into
peeing my pants, brother!”
Wei Xiao: “……”
It was a very graphic description.
In fact, Bai Cai was really speaking a big truth from his heart. It was just
that he’d changed the scene and timing, “The captain asked with so much
certainty. Tell me, how was I supposed to answer? It would be useless even
if I didn’t say anything! He already knew the answer!”
The corner of Wei Xiao’s mouth curved a little, “He really recognized me at
a glance?”
Bai Cai: “Really. It’s more true and genuine than gold and silver.”
The corner of Wei Xiao’s mouth drooped again, “Then, why did he say that
last sentence to me?”
Bai Cai: “!”
He’d forgotten about that mess.
Wei Xiao lowered his voice and simulated Lu Feng’s cold voice, “Tell Wei
Xiao, I don’t need a training partner.”
It was really motherf*cking similar!
“Cough.” Bai Cai did feel a bit of heartache for Wei Xiao regarding this. He
persuaded him, “Don’t overthink it, I think…”
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
Bai Cai had already thought about what to say while he was taking a bath,
“Think about it, at the time, the captain was using Old Yue’s account. If
he’d really won, then wouldn’t you have to become Yue Wenle’s lifetime
training partner?”
Wei Xiao wouldn’t be misled like this, “With you as witness, if he really
wanted me, would I really not accompany him?”
Can you f*cking use human words!
“Speaking of which.” Wei Xiao caught onto the key point, “Why did Close
have to pretend to be God Le?”
Bai Cai was really afraid of this piece of work’s sharp intuition!
He could only forge on ahead, “Who is our God Lu?! If ordinary people
hear that they’re soloing with him, wouldn’t they be scared into losing half
their wits?”
Wei Xiao considered it, “That’s true. There aren’t that many brave and
upright men like me out there.”
The corner of Bai Cai’s lips was twitching, but he could only go along with
him in order to continue living, “That’s right.”
“After talking back and forth, Close just doesn’t think much of me.” Wei
Xiao sighed.
Bai Cai racked his brains and couldn’t figure out how to comfort him,
“That’s not it…”
“Say, do you think that there’s a possibility that,” Wei Xiao thought of what
LU had said and asked Bai Cai, “Close doesn’t need me to be his training
partner, but needs me to do something else instead?”
Bai Cai: “Ah?”
Wei Xiao cleared his throat and explained, “It’s like this. I was just
accompanying my boss to rank. My boss is very considerate and kind, and
he comforted me when he saw that my mood wasn’t right. I couldn’t say
that I was given a hit by Close, so I made up a reason and said that I argued
with my girlfriend…”
Bai Cai’s face was mystified as he listened to this.
Holy shit, what was f*cking up with this?
If his brain hadn’t broken down, then Wei Xiao’s boss was his God Lu!
You brat, you lied about God Lu being your girlfriend in front of God Lu?
This, this…
Wei Xiao hinted, “Don’t you think that what my boss said is quite
reasonable?”
Bai Cai: “………………………………”
Wei Xiao: “Old Bai? Is the signal bad?”
The signal really wasn’t very good. Bai Cai felt that he needed to plug an
antenna into his head in order to properly receive this amazing amount of
information.
––Didn’t need a tutor because they only wanted a boyfriend.
Was this really f*cking something that their great demon king had said?!
Bai Cai just wanted to retire from the jianghu (delete his alt account) now.
His brain was dirty and unclean, and he was not worthy of writing ‘love and
hate’ stories for the little girl fans of the Glory circle!
Wei Xiao: “What’s the matter with your base? It’s a proper castle, yet it
doesn’t even have signal?”
Bai Cai: “I think…”
Wei Xiao secretly hinted at him, “Say, if Close doesn’t need a training
partner, does it mean he needs a…”
Bai Cai shuddered, “It’s impossible for it to be a boyfriend!”
Wei Xiao: “What are you thinking about? I’m talking about an opponent, an
equal, well-matched opponent! It’s not that I’m boasting, but I feel that I
have more potential than Old G.” The second half of the sentence was a
little sour.
“……………………”
Brother Cai finally came back to his senses.
His confused mind seized onto this one reliable thing in the chaos and relied
on it to find his way out.
“It’s not an opponent.” Bai Cai’s heart was finally steady, “It’s a teammate,
you fool!”
Wei Xiao was stunned.
Bai Cai had thought it through completely. He now understood the situation
thoroughly and was fully on board, “Does God Lu need an opponent? He
can get a whole handful of them with a single grab in the world
competitions, okay? What he needs is a teammate! Teammate, got it? Close
is calling for you to come back!”
It took a long time for Wei Xiao to find his voice again, “You’re the one
that’s overthinking it…”
Bai Cai sneered, “That’s fine. I’ll go and find the captain in a bit and ask
him face to face.”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t!”
Bai Cai: “Didn’t you say I was overthinking it?”

It was rare for Wei Xiao to be at a loss for words. He choked for a while,
then said, “I won’t play professionally.”
Bai Cai rolled his eyes.
Wei Xiao: “Look, it’s already January. I’m about to go back to school. It
wasn’t easy for me to get a score of 985. How could I stop studying just like
that?”
It was fine if he didn’t say it, but Bai Cai’s heart felt stifled as soon as it was
said.
It was enough that this kid’s talent for games was really high. He was even
a learning bully. Comparing people with people really made one angry!
“Honestly, you not going back to school is the right thing to do. Someone
like you imparting knowledge and educating the people?”
Wei Xiao had entered a well-known teaching university. Thinking of how

this piece of work would stand in front of a podium in the future, Bai Cai
just felt that he might as well come and play professional e-sports so as to
save the motherland’s flowers from disaster.
Wei Xiao: “What do you know?! I’m very suitable to be a teacher. If they
have to endure social beatings in advance, it won’t hurt when they’re beaten
up later.”
Bai Cai was too lazy to get into this with him, “Don’t use school as an
excuse. If you want to suspend school, FTW can provide you with one-stop
service for that.”
Wei Xiao yawned, “Ah, it’s not early anymore. I’m going to sleep.”
Bai Cai: “You…”
There was a click. The other side had hung up.
Wei Xiao dropped his cell phone, hugged the husky’s big head and rubbed it
again and again.
“Close wants me to be his teammate?”
“And he wants to sign me?”
Soybean: “Ao!”
Wei Xiao patted his big head, “You don’t understand sh*t.”
But the corner of his lips couldn’t help but lift up.
“Sleep.” Wei Xiao released Soybean and drilled into bed.
This time, he fell asleep and slept very soundly. He didn’t even dream.
It was already six in the afternoon by the time he woke up.
Bai Cai sent him a WeChat message, “Come play doubles.”
Wei Xiao had just finished getting something to eat. He replied, “Let me
first see if my boss is around or not.”
Bai Cai glanced at the captain in the training room and thought to himself:
He definitely isn’t there.
Wei Xiao: “The boss isn’t online. Let’s do it.”
Bai Cai reminded him, “I’m streaming. Watch your mouth a bit.”
Wei Xiao: “Got it.”
It wasn’t the first time Bai Cai had taken Wei Xiao with him while
streaming.
His fans started filling up the scrolling comments as soon as they saw Wei
Xiao’s ID.
“The jungler king is here. Caicai, quickly have him take thief!”
“Who exactly is this friend of Caicai’s? They’re really good and very
doting.”
“Yeah, yeah. He’s the only one who dares to let our Caicai play mid-lane!”
“They key point is that he even carries Caicai!”
As a support king, Bai Cai had extremely obvious shortcomings. For

example, he couldn’t play mage-type heroes.
However, that didn’t prevent Brother Cai from having a heart that wanted to
carry, so he would occasionally pick a mage hero in order to experience the
excitement.
In these kinds of high-level ranked games, Brother Cai’s mage was

notoriously cancerous. His teammates would want to die as soon as it was
taken out.
It was only when he played doubles with Wei Xiao that there was even such
a thing as a win rate.
Bai Cai had just finished choosing his hero when his scrolling comments
exploded.
“Holy shit!”
“Holy shit holy shit holy shit!”
Countless shocked emoticons were mixed in with the most important

sentence, “Brother Cai, you and God Lu have crashed cars!”
Bai Cai saw it at a glance, “Is it so… coincidental?”
The scrolling comments piled up, “God Ning is streaming. He’s double
queueing with our God Lu!”
“What a deal, what a deal! Fratricide between teammates or something is

the most exciting!”
Ning Zhehan hadn’t been in the team for long, and his live broadcast
popularity wasn’t high enough.
In any case, teammates needed to go through a running-in period. Xiang

Liu took advantage of the time when Lu Feng and Ning Zhehan were
playing doubles and turned on the live stream for Little Ning so that he
could gain some popularity at the same time.
They hadn’t expected to end up matched against Bai Cai and Wei Xiao.
What’s this called, enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road?

hahahahaha
Ning Zhehan: I’m not going to lie, I’m a little scared [shiver]
Juurensha: Bai Cai, God Lu definitely wants a bf apricot: In the last chapter,
I was surprised the misunderstanding had been resolved so quickly. I was
mistaken… xiin: *cuddling her dog’s big head and squealing just like WX*
Ch15 - No wonder Caicai cheated. I
would do it for this man too!
Of course, Wei Xiao, who couldn’t see the scrolling comments, didn’t know
who was on the opposing side.
They couldn’t see their opponents’ IDs in the hero selection interface. Wei
Xiao would only find out after they entered the game.
Bai Cai was currently regretting everything. He regretted starting up his live
broadcast and even regretted that his hands had acted cheap, and he’d
snatched up the mage.
It was obvious even if he thought with his eyes closed that this would be a
bloody slaughter arena. Why had he sought death for himself and taken the
mid-lane?
Wasn’t it great being alive?!
He just had to go up and become the soul beneath the captain’s knife!
Wei Xiao was still choosing his hero, “Old Bai, do you want to win?”
Bai Cai: To hell with winning!
The scrolling comments had already exploded, “Ahhhhh, it’s really true
love between the jungler king and our Caicai!”
“I know, the jungler king is going to show off, and carry our Caicai!”
“Unfortunately, this pair of ill-fated lovers met the great demon king.”
“Feeling heartache for my vegetable.”

“Full of heartache. Brushing a round of deep water torpedoes to comfort my
little cub.”
One deep water torpedo cost 100 yuan. In the blink of an eye, Bai Cai had
already received over a dozen and didn’t know whether to cry or cry even
harder!
“Hey, do you want to play mid-lane?” Bai Cai asked Wei Xiao.
The hero selection interface could be used to exchange heroes. Bai Cai’s
desire for survival burst out, and he tried to let Wei Xiao experience life
beneath the captain’s big sword.
Wei Xiao had recently been deeply addicted to playing thieves and had
already locked it in, “What, you want to be a jungler?”
Bai Cai: “……………”
Can’t your hands be a little slower?!
Wei Xiao was very ‘doting’ towards the Bai Cai who was streaming, “I’m
fine with anything. You can play whatever you like.”
The scrolling comments was full of another series of ahhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhh,

aooooooo.
Bai Cai considered it for a while and couldn’t determine if it was better to
be cut to death by the captain as a mage, or smeared all over the floor as a
jungler by the captain.
He was a good and proper support. Why didn’t he play the hero he was best
at?!
Sure enough…
Healers shouldn’t always be thinking about killing!
“Just keep it like this.”

Bai Cai thought to himself that for better or worse, he could still figure out
how to play an ice mage. If he was really given a shadow thief, he’d
probably end up feeding kills until his teammates afked.
Bai Cai saw that they were about to enter the game and finally reminded
him, “The other side has God Lu.”
Wei Xiao froze.
There was no way to type when they waited for the canyon to load. Because
Bai Cai was streaming, Wei Xiao also hadn’t turned on his voice chat.
Bai Cai had turned his voice chat on, but there was no need for him to say
more. The ID of the opposite side was already displayed on the loading
page.
They were all professional league certified main accounts with unique
names––
FTW.Close, FTW.Silvery.
Close was Lu Feng, and Silvery was Ning Zhehan.
Wei Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly. In the moment when they entered the
game, he’d already typed out three words, “What a coincidence.”
Bai Cai hinted at him, “Calm down a bit.”
Don’t let it get to your head, old brother, I’m streaming!
Wei Xiao was calm and composed, “Don’t worry. I’ll come to the mid-lane
often to check in on you.”
There was another series of oohs and ahhs on the scrolling comments––
“It’s so tragic for the jungler king, he encountered a real demon king!”
“Yingyingying, jungler king, it’s useless for you to go to the mid-lane. Any
mage that has managed to survive beneath our God Lu’s blade has already
been sealed as a god!”
“Our Brother Cai is a healer king who loves peace. Why does he have to go
through this slaughter hell?”
“I can smell the deep taste of an abusive, sadistic love from my Lu Bai CP.
What is this? Is it the scene for domestic violence?!”
“Double adultery, crashing together, and then you die or I live?”
“Hey, how thrilling. Let me give my cub another wave of torpedoes~”
Bai Cai glanced at the scrolling comments and thought to himself…
Abusive love did exist, the domestic violence scene was there too, and the
double adultery and crashing together might be taking place too, but the
problem was that the protagonist wasn’t him!
He, Bai Cai, was going to die for nothing, okay?!
Ning Zhehan who was on the opposing side had also noticed Bai Cai. He
even used the public channel to greet him, “Brother Cai!”
Ning Zhehan: “Who’s queueing with you for doubles?”
Scrolling comments: “Wow, Caicai is ignoring Ningning. My vegetable is

eating vinegar!”
Bai Cai: “………………………………”
The start of a 5v5 match was very different from a solo game. This was a
team game, and each of the five people in both teams had a clear division of
labor. They each had their own development path and responsibilities.
For example, the mid-lane mages Bai Cai and Ning Zhehan faced each
other in the middle lane, looking for opportunities to engage each other.
Wei Xiao and Lu Feng were junglers, and their task was to snatch up
resources in the jungle.
Under normal circumstances, the first two levels in a high-ranked game

were relatively safe, and the most likely encounter would be a small
skirmish in the jungle. They would test each other out, gain a small
advantage, and back off.
But Wei Xiao was different.
Just when Ning Zhehan was clearing up soldiers while typing to Bai Cai
and chatting, a streak of red light flashed slightly, and there was a whizzing
sound effect. Ning Zhehan had been controlled!
“This…”
Although Ning Zhehan had taken the game too lightly, many reactions had
already developed into muscle memory. He instantly clicked on Purify in
order to escape.
However, the thief who’d now revealed himself was even fiercer than he’d
been when he was invisible. He flashed forward and used an auto-attack to
kill off Ning Zhehan.
Ning Zhehan: “!!!”
The scrolling comments exploded, “Oh, my mother, the jungler king is so

handsome!”
“No wonder Caicai cheated. I would do it for this man too!”
“Killing a professional player at the start of a game. Are the casual jungler
players so amazing now?!”
At the same time––

First Blood.
The one who’d taken first blood wasn’t Wei Xiao, and the one who’d given
the first blood wasn’t Ning Zhehan.
Although Ning Zhehan had toppled to the ground, Bai Cai, who was across
from him, had died a little earlier than he had.
Even if it was only zero point something seconds earlier, he had very
solidly delivered the first blood to his own captain.
If the scrolling comments had exploded earlier, then they were now in a
crazed frenzy.
“Our Captain Lu is still the most ruthless.”
“Who can tell me how my Cai died???”
“The great demon king is worthy of his name, he can even be so cruel to his
little wife!”
“Domestic violence scene, real proof!”
“I was wrong, I was really wrong. Captain Lu, you are always the great
demon king gong in my heart. Caicai shouldn’t have cheated, no matter
how handsome or how sweet the jungler king is, he still shouldn’t have
cheated!”
Bai Cai glanced at the scrolling comments as he rushed back to the middle
lane after resurrecting and wanted to holler, “What the hell do you all
know?! Aaahhhhhh!”
How could the great demon king have a little wife?
The only thing in the great demon king’s eyes was a little lunatic!
After dying twice, Little Ning on the opposite side suddenly came to a
realization, “Grandmaster?!”
The simple sharpness of the attacks, the precision of the positioning, this
immortal-like control over his health…
Ning Zhehan, who’d paid 10,000 yuan to die under his knife still
remembered this feeling!
The scrolling comments on Ning Zhehan’s side had also exploded

completely.
At first it was––
“My God Lu is so doting, Baby Ning, you’re so fortunate.”
“Whoa, this jungler on the other side has some skill.”
“No wait, is this the level of a rookie king? Killed so easily in a single fight
with a random player?”
“Wake up, can a casual player who can reach this stage and play doubles
games with a professional player be an ordinary casual player?!”
Then, it was––
“What the hell is a grandmaster?”
“Which professional player in the Glory circle has the nickname

grandmaster?”
“Speaking of which, I’ve heard of a secret rumor: it’s said that there’s a
mysterious figure among the professional players…”
Ning Zhehan realized that he’d said the wrong thing and didn’t dare speak
again. However, his eyes were bright, and he still ran happily down the
middle lane despite getting killed four times.
As for the Bai Cai who was opposite him, his heart had already turned to
ashes long ago.
Middle lane?
Mage?
Ice mage?
He never wanted to play this hero in his life again!
It had to be said that this game was incredibly strange.
The top lane and bottom lanes were extremely peaceful. Everyone cleared
their own soldiers and never tried to rush in. Even the support didn’t head
over to take a look and remained honestly in the bottom lane.
The audience in the scrolling comments seriously suspected that these three
people had dragged the map over to watch the ongoing play.
Those two lanes may be calm, but the middle lane was like hell on earth!
The junglers on both sides were absolutely radical fighters. After they
finished clearing out a wave of jungle creeps, they’d come over and charge
in for the kill.
Both of them stared at the other party’s mage and didn’t hesitate to attack.
The minute their blades went up, what came back down would be a head.
What made it worse was, they went back into hiding after killing each
other’s mages.
Although the thief was a hero where one had to wait for cooldowns after
using a set of skills and doing a burst of damage, using all your skills on a
mage…
How should he say it?
Sure enough, there were countless squishy mage corpses piled up in every
jungler’s heart!
Slowly, the atmosphere of the scrolling comments changed––
“I don’t know why, but I’m starting to smell hints of a cult?”

“Yes, yes, yes, there aren’t many junglers who can compete on an even
playing field with our God Lu.”
“Although I don’t know exactly who this grandmaster is, I still want to
spend one second supporting this cult.”
“Reasonably speaking, this is a little easy to get behind. Love rivals

encountering each other, emotions and feelings collide?”
“My vegetable is green now!”
“When is my vegetable not green?”
“If my vegetable isn’t green, how could we call him Brother Cai?”
“It’s true that Close is a heartthrob, and it’s also true that the Glory circle is
full of God Lu’s harem members.”
“Why is this damned great demon king and this casual player so tempting
together!”
Looking at the scrolling comments, Bai Cai was roaring inside––
What was this all about?
Even the eight o’clock soap operas aren’t as daring with their ideas as you
guys are!
Finally, Bai Cai and Wei Xiao’s team lost.
Nothing could be done about it. It was a team of five people, three of whom
were eating melon seeds and watching the show. Bai Cai’s mage was played
at a level where even his die-hard fans all agreed that ‘it hurt their eyes’.
The only one who played well was Wei Xiao, and it was really impossible
for a single person to turn the tables.
On Ning Zhehan’s side, although his teammates were also watching the
show, that didn’t stop Ning Zhehan’s real talent and practical experience
from playing out. Even if Wei Xiao killed him ten times, his mentality
hadn’t collapsed, and he was able to find opportunities to kill Bai Cai on his
own.
Wei Xiao finally encountered Lu Feng in the jungle.
There was no suspense. Wei Xiao ended up flattened beneath Lu Feng’s

blade.
Bai Cai was pressured by Ning Zhehan.
Wei Xiao was pressured by Lu Feng.
There was no hope for winning no matter how one looked at it.
The audience in the scrolling comments didn’t concern themselves with

this. They were extremely delighted, “Amazing! This was too f*cking
wonderful!”
“They did their best, the jungler king really did his best!”
“Caicai, your gay friend is really good. Our FTW is short on people, why
don’t you invite that little brother over?”
“The problem is that FTW isn’t short on junglers.”
“With the jungler king’s level of play, playing the top lane shouldn’t be a
problem, right!”
“Daydreaming for a moment, if the jungler king joins the team, my

vegetable’s old love and new love will both be there, tsk tsk, quickly make
it happen!”
Bai Cai’s heart felt very tired. Although they’d only played one game, he
already wanted to go have a rest.
However, it was what happened after that that made him collapse even
further.
A message popped up on their team interface.

FTW.Close requests to join.
The scrolling comments spiraled up to the sky, “My god aahhhhhhhhh, God
Lu tossed Little Ningning away and came to comfort our Brother Cai!”
“Lu Bai is real! It’s really, absolutely true!”
“I’m crying, I’m crying, this old maiden is gnawing on real candy!”
How could Bai Cai reject it?
He could only click on ‘accept’.
The team went from two people to three.
Bai Cai’s profile image was a candle. The reason he used it was because he
wanted to light candles for the other side. Who could’ve known that he
would be reduced to lighting candles for himself?
Sure enough, what goes around comes around!
FTW.Close: “Make me the room master.”
Bai Cai: “Yes, yes.”
At this moment, the scrolling comments were still full of frenzied

screaming, and they were all incredibly excited by this wonderful scene.
The next second––
Hundreds of question marks appeared in the scrolling comments.
“???????”
The God Lu who’d become the master of the room…
The first thing he did was actually to kick Brother Cai out of the room?
Lu Feng and Wei Xiao weren’t streaming. Nobody knew what was going on
in the team room.
Bai Cai, who’d been kicked out, “……”
Don’t ask. He was already dead.
Juurensha: Our poor vegetable, he goes through so much. xiin: private room
heeheeeee
Ch16 - Wei Xiao, kiss kiss me, I
love you
Bai Cai was a support. It was all due to his shamelessness that he was able
to gain so much popularity in his live broadcast room.
Professional players were all like this. The other positions could all show
off enough to reach the heavens, but for support players, the most important
thing was stability and not bursts of amazing gameplay.
Brother Cai was very stable. He sat very firmly in the empress seat of the
great demon king’s throne, relying on indulging the little sister fans’
imaginations to 艹 and send himself up until he reached the popularity he
had today.
Now…
Brother Cai experienced what it meant to have it ‘backfire’.
“Caicai! Your old gong has run off with your new lover!”
“The great demon king kicked away the empress and abducted his love
rival?”
“This circle is really messy, I don’t have enough brainpower to keep up…”
Bai Cai simply closed the scrolling comments and played dead.
Ning Zhehan sent over a team request. Bai Cai accepted it.
Little Ning: “Brother Cai!”
Bai Cai: “Mm.”

“Brother Feng had something to do and told me to double queue with you
first.”
“Okay.”
Bai Cai didn’t even need to look at the scrolling comments to know what
they were saying––
“The out of favor team of two?”
“A story between four people. Are we supporting the wrong CP?”
There was a more rational one, “God Lu can’t really want to sign this casual
king, right?”
“Holy crap, maybe!”
“Where exactly did this jungler king come from?”
“Someone on Weibo is digging, this One Lamp Grandmaster is really

damned amazing…”
It was a pity that Bai Cai had closed the scrolling comments. Otherwise, he
would definitely have stopped his live stream early and gone onto Weibo to
guide public opinion. Unfortunately, he was engrossed in his livestream for
a long time. By the time he was done, ‘One Lamp Grandmaster’ was
already up on the hot search.
This was something for later. At this moment, Wei Xiaoxiao was well and
truly flustered.
Wei Xiao was someone who hadn’t been scared of anyone in his 19 years of
life.
When he was a child, he’d been invincible as he played all over the school
yard. As he grew up, he became both the school bully and the learning
bully. Later, he became addicted to gaming, but he was also able to kill gods
when he encountered gods, and kill buddhas when he encountered buddhas.
Until he kicked an iron plate called Lu Feng.
Even when he’d lost for 48 hours straight, Wei Xiao hadn’t been afraid.
Instead, he’d been full of fighting spirit and dreams of winning against him.
But, he’d run away.
At a time like that, when Lu Feng had been full of appreciation and
expectations for him, he’d left.
It wasn’t so much that he was scared of Lu Feng. It was more that he felt
guilt and self-reproach.
If one had to be metaphorical about his current mood, then it was probably
like a reunion between a scum man who’d run off after having sex and his
ex-girlfriend.
Wei Xiao was the scum man.
Lu Feng was the ex-girlfriend.
“F*ck!” Wei Xiao had struck himself so thoroughly with lightning that he
was charred outside and crispy inside.
“Can you hear me?” Lu Feng turned on the voice channel.
Wei Xiao: “!”
Although it was two years later, he was no stranger to Lu Feng’s voice.

After all, he’d watched all the FTW competitions over the past two years
and listened to all of Lu Feng’s interviews. He’d even squatted in his live
broadcast studio and given him quite a few gifts… even though Lu Feng
seldom spoke.
“I can hear you.”
Wei Xiao was very careful when he spoke.
Lu Feng didn’t say anything unnecessary, “I’ll start, then.”

He chose to start the game in anonymous mode.
Wei Xiao: “Okay.”
The interface began to search for players. Wei Xiao, who was usually
bursting with words, was now as well behaved as a quail.
Of course, this didn’t affect the crazy storm in his head––
What did this mean? What did Close mean by this?!
Driving out Bai Cai and queuing for doubles with him. Was he in trouble or
was he in trouble?!
If Lu Feng really asked about the matter from two years ago…
Where was he supposed to get a New Oriental diploma from if Lu Feng

wanted to see?!
Becoming a chef or whatever, if Wei Xiao really had that kind of dream,
then he wouldn’t need to nibble on bread every day!
The higher their rankings, the more difficult it was to match with other
players.
In order to carry Bai Cai, Wei Xiao had used an alt account that was ranked
500th or so, but this couldn’t block Lu Feng’s high ranking. On average, the
matching time was very slow.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes…
After three minutes of silence, Wei Xiao couldn’t hold back anymore.
Wei Xiao: “So…”
Lu Feng: “No solo.”

How had he known he was going to say that?!
Lu Feng: “We’ve never played 5v5 together, right.”
Wei Xiao paused, “No.”
In fact, they had.
During one off-season, Lu Feng’s live broadcast studio had held an event
where they drew fans for a 5v5 game. Wei Xiao had been lucky enough to
win the draw, and had even used a voice changer to act as a little sister and
play as Lu Feng’s support.
Lu Feng: “We have?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
This person must have installed a lie detector in his heart. How could he be
so sharp!
“No way.” Wei Xiao didn’t want to expose that kind of brain-damaged
black history and began to talk nonsense, “Won’t the opposite side end up
self-destructing their crystal if we queue for doubles together?”
Lu Feng: “Not necessarily.”
Wei Xiao’s desire to win instantly rose up, “100%. If I don’t hammer them
until they enter seclusion, I’ll…”
He was just about to throw down the verbal gauntlet when he seemed to
become aware of the risks and hurriedly shut up.
Just then, they were finally matched up with other players and entered the
game.
Dangerous, dangerous. Wei Xiao reminded himself that if he spoke less,

he’d end up in less trouble; if he didn’t speak, he’d be in no trouble, so he
should shut up!
Lu Feng didn’t follow up on his words and only asked him, “What position
are you playing?”
Glory had five positions: top-lane, mid-lane, jungler, bottom lane, support.
Wei Xiao was best at the jungler position, of course, but Lu Feng was the
number one jungler in China.
The two of them both played the same position.
Wei Xiao: “I can do anything.”
After saying so, he realized that he’d been unable to control his mouth once
again and changed it to, “I mean, I’m okay with anything.”
Lu Feng laughed lightly, “I know you can do anything.”
Being told that he could do anything by the one that the entire world
recognized as being all-powerful, how come it made his thick skin feel a
little hot?!
“In fact… I’m not good at everything.”
“It’s just being proficient with 11 heroes and 130 talent specs.”
“130? It’s clearly 140 talent specs… f*ck!”
Wei Xiao finally realized. There were now 140 talent specs in Glory, but
there had only been 130 two years ago.
Lu Feng’s words were clearly repeating Wei Xiao’s ‘trash talk’ from two
years ago.
He still remembered.
Wei Xiao felt Close might have a tiny bit more ‘anger’ in his heart than
he’d thought.
“You play jungler, then.” Lu Feng said.
Wei Xiao really wanted to control his own mouth, “Don’t do that, if I play
jungler, it’ll be too easy to win.”
Lu Feng: “Then I’ll play it?”
Wei Xiao choked.
Alright then, it won’t even be about winning if you play as a jungler. The
other side won’t even have any kind of game experience!
Wei Xiao picked the thief while muttering, “That’s why I was saying, why
rank? Solo is much more interesting.”
Lu Feng said nothing and took an undead warrior.
Wei Xiao wasn’t that surprised. Although Lu Feng could do anything, he

still had some slight tendencies.
Compared with remote poke heroes, Lu Feng was better at the close combat
assault heroes.
He was best at the assassin types, followed by warriors. Of course, he was

also good at melee mages and short-ranged hunters.
When the game began, Wei Xiao was a little absent-minded.
He didn’t look down on team games. In fact, he really loved 5v5. Leading a
team to victory was very exciting, and he really liked it.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have led the youth training team to fight

everywhere two years ago.
He just didn’t want to see Lu Feng play 5v5.
To put it bluntly, he felt that the 5v5 canyon shackled Lu Feng.

A man who could clearly play at a level that reached the heavens was
forcibly contained within a narrow cage. It made people angry when they
saw it.
Lu Feng was very strong, but his teammates couldn’t keep up.
It wasn’t that obvious in domestic games, but once they hit the grand finals
where there were strong opponents everywhere, FTW’s weakness became
all too clear.
Lu Feng had to cater to his teammates and didn’t have any way to compete
with his opponents.
If Lu Feng let loose, it would cause the entire team to lose coordination, and
FTW’s performance would become even worse.
The haters often used this point to flame Lu Feng, saying that he was the
cancer of the team, and the ‘number one’ at being a round peg in a square
hole. They begged for him to hurry up and give up the team competitions,
and let the FTW team off.
Wei Xiao got angry whenever he saw stuff like that. He’d lobbed back
several chunks of text, leaving the haters with blue noses and swollen faces,
but they set their teeth into one point and refused to let go––
If your Close has the ability, then bring back a team championship! What
use is an individual championship?! It’s only stupid fans who are praising
him to the sky!
If there was no individual championship from Close, then the China

competition zone would really have lost until even their underpants were
gone, okay?!
Thinking about it made him angry, and Wei Xiao’s attacks at the start of the
game were inevitably more fierce.
The gunner on the opposite side who’d been caught and killed twice
suffered a bit of a mental breakdown: “No way… what’s the deal with this
jungler? Did laozi match up with Close?” Because they’d picked
anonymous mode, the players who hadn’t queued in with them couldn’t see
their opponent’s IDs and would see a codename instead.
You really did match with Close, but he’s playing the undead warrior.
Wei Xiao typed out on the public channel, “Be good, daddy loves you.”
The gunner on the other side: “… Damn it, you just wait!”
Later on, the gunner really managed to develop and indeed dealt some
damage. It was very difficult for Wei Xiao to bypass the other side’s support
and cut him down, but––
Your side’s undead warrior has killed the opposing side’s artillery gunner.
Wei Xiao couldn’t cut his way in, but the undead warrior who’d remained
silent as he developed and could stand up tall in the second half of the game
then became the real daddy of the entire map.
Killing spree! Rampage! Invincible! Dominating! Legendary!
Amidst a series of system announcements, Lu Feng used the undead warrior

to finish off the other side’s resurrection crystal.
When they returned to the team room interface, Lu Feng: “Top-lane is quite
fun.”
Wei Xiao: “………” You had fun, but what about my gaming experience?!
Lu Feng was in a pretty good mood, “Continue?”
Although Wei Xiao had pretty much done nothing for the second half of the
game, he’d still had a lot of fun playing, “Go to the international server?”
They should go big if they were going to play.
Lu Feng: “Okay. You play jungler.”

Wei Xiao: “No problem!”
Wei Xiao was just about to leave the room when Lu Feng spoke again,
“Add me on WeChat.”
Wei Xiao’s heart leapt.
Lu Feng was very reasonable, “I’ll send the room link on WeChat.”
That made sense, they weren’t even friends on the international server. If
they wanted to queue together, they could only invite each other through a
room link.
Wei Xiao paused for a moment and typed out his own WeChat account ID,
“WX7758521.”
Lu Feng slowly read it out loud, “Wei Xiao, kiss kiss me, I love you?”
Wei Xiao: “……………………” F*ck!
After exiting the room, Wei Xiao’s cell phone immediately had a new friend
application.
Seeing the name Close, he closed his eyes and approved it.
It was impossible for him to play professionally.
But being able to play queued games with Close…
Lu Feng soon sent over a room link. Wei Xiao clicked in, and the two of
them went to the international server.
The international server was much fiercer than the domestic one, especially
when it came to ranked games. The top 300 were almost all professional
players, so they could meet celebrities in any random match.
Lu Feng continued to use anonymous mode, and this time, it didn’t take
long for them to enter a new game.
Wei Xiao played a jungler, and Lu Feng continued to play top-lane.
These two positions weren’t very suitable for double queueing, because
there wasn’t much cooperation between the two positions in the early stage
of the game.
The top-lane position was also called the ‘single lane’ because it was very
lonely.
Most of the time, the jungler would go for the mid-lane or bottom lane
heroes. If they could maim the c-position, the greater part of the game was
already won.
The top-laner’s task was to solo against the opposite side’s top-laner. It was
best if they could kill them on their own, and if they couldn’t, it also wasn’t
a loss to simply remain alive.
In a way, Lu Feng was very suitable for the top-lane. This was because his
personal ability was too strong, and even the world’s current strongest top-
lane Y God wouldn’t be able to obtain any benefits from him in a 1v1 fight.
It was a pity that Lu Feng couldn’t take the top-lane position, because top-
laners weren’t suited for commanding the game, and it was difficult for
them to lead the rhythm of the team in a game.
As Chen Feng had said, Lu Feng was the absolute core of FTW. If he went
to the top-lane position, then it would be the same as FTW losing their
backbone, and it would end up in chaos.
Of course, there was no need to worry about these things in random

matches.
Wei Xiao was the jungler, and Lu Feng went to the top lane. The two of
them swept away all obstacles wherever they went.
They unwittingly queued and played for four hours. Wei Xiao was totally
immersed in it, and even urged when they returned to the room, “Again,
again!”
They’d accidentally lost in the last game because their teammate had gone
to answer a phone call in the middle of their last group fight. It was
impossible for them to win in this kind of four against five situation. Even
Wei Xiao and Lu Feng couldn’t save them from defeat when one of their
team members sent over a free kill right at the start of the fight.
Lu Feng: “It’s not early anymore. I’m going off first.”
Wei Xiao: “You’re already logging off? What time is it…”
He looked at the time and was shocked to find that it was already one
o’clock in the morning!
So fast? It didn’t feel like it… it seemed as though the two of them had only
played for a little while.
Wei Xiao’s heart was full of disappointment, but he couldn’t really say
anything.
Lu Feng quit the game, and Wei Xiao queued for a game on his own, but
there wasn’t much happiness involved.
Wei Xiao stretched, then heard a beep from his cell phone.
He picked it up. It was a WeChat message from Close––
“You play jungler very well.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved, and he engaged in mutual praise, “Your top-lane is
also very strong.”
Close: “Queue again tomorrow?”
Wei Xiao: “Yes!”
Close: “You’ll still play jungler?”
Wei Xiao: “Okay!”

Close: “Do you want to solo?”
Wei Xiao’s heart leapt up to his throat, “Yes!”
Close: “Do you want to come to FTW?”
Wei Xiao, who was answering smoothly, “Yes!”
Wei Xiao, half a second later: “F*ck!!!”
Juurensha: Hahahaha, trap succeded! xiin: WX: F*ck, my mouth is faster

than my brain!
Ch17 - Wei Xiao: When it comes to
men, I am the only good one
As a former professional player, Wei Xiao’s hand speed was faster than his
brain. He didn’t even know when he’d withdrawn the message, but the
message had already been withdrawn.
Only…
Close: “Address.”
What was the use of withdrawing the message?
The current professional player Lu Feng’s dynamic vision was even fiercer
than his hand speed.
Close: “?”
Wei Xiao stared at the question mark. There were drums pounding in his
heart.
He was so nervous that he grabbed the husky and fluffed up its fur, “What
to do what to do what to do?”
How could Soybean understand a thing? It swatted the cell phone with a
paw, wanting to get rid of this bad thing so that its father would accompany
it to play.
Coincidentally…
The big and soft pad of its paw swept across the screen and miraculously
sent out an emoticon.
Wei Xiao’s collection of emoticons were just like him. If they weren’t
bratty, then they were arrogant and outrageous and were usually used when
he was acting shameless.
The one that Soybean had casually sent out was a typical example.
It was a very big panda man, the corners of its mouth curved wickedly with
evil charm, two red cheeks, and a large line of text beneath it––‘When it
comes to men, I am the only good one’.
The sentence written out in tiny font above it was the most
provocative––‘Hello everyone, I’m a liar. I want kisses. Anyone willing to
be tricked, who likes being cheated, please give me a kiss and buy a life
lesson. Don’t ask me why others cheat money while I cheat kisses, because
I’m a big hooligan.’
In this second, Wei Xiao really wanted to destroy the world in a fit of
righteousness!
Withdraw the message! Quickly!
But what was the use of it? The single word he’d sent before had been seen,
and now there was this huge expression pack…
Close sent over another question mark.
Wei Xiao wanted to die, “You might not believe me if I say it, but my dog
was the one who sent the emoticon.”
Close paused for a moment, “It’s just a kiss. There’s no need to claim to be
a dog.”
Wei Xiao: “…………………”
Brother Xiao, who was kneeling on the bed right now, only had one
sentence in his brain at this moment––natural law will circle back, and the
heavens will spare nobody.
The reckless things he’d done when he galloped through the Jianghu back
then had all become the water in his brain now!
Wei Xiao quickly sent over a photo of the husky, “Look, I really have a
dog.”
Close: “Oh.”
Wei Xiao: “It really was the one who sent the emoticon.”
Close: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao felt that he wouldn’t be able to wash himself clean even if he
jumped into the Yellow River!
Close sent over a screenshot, “Was it the one who sent this too?”
Wei Xiao looked at the screenshot, and the breath that he’d just sucked in
got caught in his throat.
He could swear that between him sending out the word ‘Yes’ to him
withdrawing it, there was only enough time for him to say a single ‘F*ck’,
and the total time absolutely didn’t exceed ten seconds.
How had Close managed to get a screenshot?
It was amazing, too amazing…
Glory’s great demon king’s hand speed was really worthy of his fame.
Ah, f*ck!
Wei Xiao clutched at his own hair and thought about what he should say.
Close: “Address?”
How could Wei Xiao dare to give him his address? He stared at it for a long
time, his heart slashed open, then decided to cut off any chance for
confusion quickly. He sat down cross legged and typed carefully with
unprecedented seriousness, “God Lu, your good intentions leave me rather
terrified. FTW is a very good team, and you’re a very excellent team leader,
but due to my personal reasons, there’s really no way…”
He’d only just started this long discussion when Close sent over another
image.
It held the time for the training match between L&P and FTW the day after
tomorrow.
Wei Xiao stilled, and stopped typing.
Close: “If you come to watch the training match, it’s best to arrive an hour
ahead of time.”
Close: “Don’t worry. The training match video can’t be released, but you
won’t violate the rules if you watch it on the spot.”
Wei Xiao stared at these two lines of text and tasted them over and over
again…
Then, he quickly deleted everything he’d typed and changed his message to,
“……Are you inviting me to watch a training match at FTW?”
Close: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “…………………”
Close: “Or, if you can get up in the morning, I’ll show you around the
base.”
At this time, Wei Xiao’s heart felt like it was riding a roller coaster,
swooping up up up, then down down down, to the point where it was
almost about to stop.
So, Close wasn’t inviting him to join FTW and was just inviting him to go
to FTW and play?
Wei Xiao stared at that sentence––Do you want to come to FTW.

The word ‘join’ certainly wasn’t there.
That made sense, how could something so major like joining a team be
asked so casually?
Wei Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Close: “The base has moved. It’s not easy to find a taxi here; I’ll arrange a
car to pick you up.”
Wei Xiao paused again.
If it had been Old Bai who wanted to bring him to the FTW base, then he
would never, ever go in this lifetime, even if he was beaten to death, even if
he deleted Glory.
But now…
The person inviting him was Close, and he was even letting him watch the
training match between FTW and last year’s world finals runner up L&P.
Wei Xiao couldn’t refuse.
He really wanted to watch the training match, and he didn’t have any way
to refuse Close.
The one who’d flicked a hand and run off was him. When Close
encountered him again, not only did he not beat him to death, he even
treated him so kindly. Neither his reason or his emotions allowed him to
refuse.
Wei Xiao shared a location with Close.
Close: “Go to bed early. See you the day after tomorrow.” The training
match was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.
Wei Xiao: “Good night.”
Close: “Sweet dreams.”

After setting down the mobile phone, Wei Xiao’s entire body collapsed into
the soft bed, boneless and loose.
It was just an invitation to watch a training match.
He raised up his forearm and covered his eyes, but he couldn’t cover up the
sense of loss he felt from the bottom of his heart.
And what if Close had really been inviting him to play as a professional?
Could he agree?
No.
The words his grandmother had said while holding onto his hand on her
deathbed were words he couldn’t forget for a lifetime––
“Little Xiao, don’t be like your father, don’t think about those things that
are beyond your reach. Listen to your grandma; your grades are good, get
into a good university, study well, get a steady job, and live a simple and
happy life.”
Right, he couldn’t be like his father.
He would never be like his father.
The next day, Weibo had already exploded by the time Bai Cai woke up.
Bai Cai had just finished arranging a small story on his alt account and
switched back to his main account. He was shocked at how many private
messages were in his inbox and even suspected that he hadn’t changed
accounts yet.
His alt account had little sisters contributing to it all year round, and his
private messages were full to bursting every day. He was already used to it,
but he’d really never thought that his main account, which was verified and
named FTW-White, would one day receive hundreds of private messages.
What was going on?

Last night’s ‘Four Corner Love’ wasn’t that explosive, right?!
Bai Cai casually opened up one of the messages and took a look…
His toothbrush almost dropped to the ground!
“God Bai! They say that you know One Lamp Grandmaster? Who exactly
is he? I heard he hammered the entire Glory circle until it exploded? Have
you been hammered by him too? Who exactly is he, hey, how can he be so
amazing? Is our FTW really going to sign him?!”
“God of Wealth~ Is One Lamp Grandmaster a professional player? Retired?

In service? Or is he a live stream anchor?”
“Is what Moon God and the others saying real or fake? Has he hammered
professional players into seclusion? Is he really that strong?!”
Good god, there were hundreds of private messages, and they were all
asking about ‘One Lamp Grandmaster’.
Bai Cai was puzzled. Although Little Ning’s tongue had slipped, and he’d
mentioned the Grandmaster last night, he and Old Wei had always kept a
low profile. In the last two years, they’d sincerely focused on beating up the
professional players and had never touched the bloody and stormy live
stream anchor circle. How had they managed to get fans from all walks of
life to go crazy like this?
After washing and rinsing in a hurry, Bai Cai looked through it more
carefully and discovered the cause and effect.
The key words on the trending hot search topics revealed where the
problem lay.
Close, One Lamp Grandmaster, abduction.
Moonlit, One Lamp, seclusion.
Eurostar, Grandmaster, changed lanes.

Sleep God, Grandmaster, eyes open.
Great.
The China Glory circle’s big names were all tied to the One Lamp
Grandmaster. It would be f*cking strange if the internet didn’t explode!
There were outsiders to the circle who came in with looks of confusion on
their faces, asking what was going on. A metaphor that a little sister came
up with fit well––
It was basically comparing the situation to a casual player in the

entertainment circle who’d been abducted by the Emperor (Close), who also
hammered the God of Songs (Moonlit) into seclusion, and forced the Film
Emperor (Eurostar) to take a break from filming, while simultaneously
attracting the attention of the Idol of the People (Sleep God).
Over the course of a single night, there was really a constant change of
events.
At first, it was just a slip of the tongue by Little Ning. Then, Close kicked
Bai Cai out of the room to talk alone with the Grandmaster. Then, someone
exposed the chat records between Close and Grandmaster when they double
queued for matches on the international server.
Although they’d chosen to join the games anonymously, their IDs would
still be exposed at the end of the game on the settlement page.
It was difficult for ordinary players to reach the top 300 and participate in
ranked games on the international server, but many live stream anchors
could do it.
A famous anchor happened to bump into the two during their double queue.
As soon as the name Close appeared in the settlement interface, the anchor
had instantly become excited!
Then, some fans had discovered that Close was in a double queue, and the
other ID was also very direct. It was called ‘Professor’ in English.
Translated back, it was about the same as ‘Grandmaster’, right?
In fact, Wei Xiao really hadn’t thought about the ID Grandmaster when he
came up with this ID. He’d thought about how it rhymed with ‘Call Beast’,
but he really couldn’t stop the illogical thoughts of the vast number of
sleepless citizens.
This was just like adding fuel to the fire. The mysterious player One Lamp
Grandmaster instantly ignited everyone’s curiosity.
Just after 10PM was the liveliest time online. This was especially true
during the off-season when many players took advantage of the lack of
training to live stream for fans.
The fans would rush around spreading the news, then head to the studio one
after another to ask after their cubs.
“Moon God, Moon God! Do you know One Lamp Grandmaster?”
Once this scrolling comment showed up, Moonlit looked up in the middle
of collecting a head with his hand up and knife poised, “One Lamp?”
Scrolling comments: “Yeah, yeah, we heard that FTW wants to sign him. Is
he very strong?!”
Moonlit had originally been about to take a dog’s life in the mid-lane. At
this moment, he directly headed straight to the tower to kill him, and his
voice was colder than the ice staff in his hand, “He wants to come play
professionally? Very good. With him in the competitions, we can lose the
league games, but One Lamp has to die.”
Needless to say, this statement that was brimming with hatred and
murderous spirit made the audience’s scalps go numb!
Another star player, Euro God, also received the same scrolling comment.
Eurostar’s voice was gentle and kind, “One Lamp? Of course I know them.”
Scrolling comments: “Is he strong, is he strong?”

Eurostar laughed, “Do you know why I switched from the top-lane to the
bottom lane one year ago?”
Scrolling comments: “!!!”
Eurostar’s laughter was quite happy, “It’s because of him.”
The scrolling comments went quiet for half a second, then it filled up with
Euro God’s trademark quote from his debut––
Some day in the future with a gun in hand, I’ll kill all the top lane dogs in
the world.
In the past, all the fans had differing opinions. They only knew that Euro
God had been abused by some top-lane before, and had then chosen to
abandon his sword and pick up a gun. He felt absolute abhorrence towards
the top-lane, but they’d never known who this top-laner was.
Now…
They’d found the killer!
FTW’s fans were all high.
“Is Grandmaster’s top-lane so strong? Is our FTW finally going to make it

to the forefront?!”
Of course, there were also haters who mixed in to stir the waters, “Wasn’t
your WTF’s Tang Chen powerful? What use is it? As long as you don’t deal
with the cancer that is Close, our Glory circles will never see a bright
future!”
These two star contestants pushed One Lamp Grandmaster to the front of
the wave, and the last to add firewood to the flames was the new ‘high
traffic’ Asleep.
As his name implied, Sleep God was very in line with the word ‘sleep’.
This person was born with a face worthy of an idol, with a pair of e-sports
hands, and his biggest hobby in life was sleeping.
Apart from eating and playing games, the rest of his time was spent
sleeping.
Even when he streamed… he spent time sleeping while live…
However, Sleep God looked good, his talent was high, and his strength was
high. So, even if he slept while live streaming, his popularity was also high!
That day, he was sleeping soundly when he suddenly opened his eyes.
The scrolling comments were all full of grandmaster, grandmaster,

grandmaster.
Asleep treated words like gold. Usually, it was up to his vice-captain to

answer for him, but he actually took the initiative to speak today, “He’s very
strong.”
His youthful voice was lazy as he drawled slowly, “Soloing with him, I can
go for a day and a night without sleep.”
As the new high popularity player of the Glory circle, he was supported by
many battle fans. Once these words came out, it would be difficult for the
Grandmaster not to explode in popularity even if he didn’t want to!
Bai Cai sent over the cause and effect that he’d sorted out to Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao, who’d only just woken up, stared on in a daze, “What?”
Bai Cai: “Brother Xiao, seeing how we’re brothers, don’t say that you know
me.”
Wei Xiao clicked it open and took a look, and was instantly shocked awake
by a screen full of killing intent.
His grandma really hadn’t deceived him. To hell with playing games for a
professional career, wasn’t it great just to be alive?!
Hahahaha it’s not dogblood, don’t worry.
Juurensha: Grandma, you mean well, but WX will do great things in e-

sports apricot: ofc he’s just inviting him to play…what else would he be
trying to do hehe 😉
xiin: updated may 11, 2020 and changed Eurostar (Ou Xing) & Moonlit
(Yue Ye)’s names~
Ch18 - Old Wei, you’re really a
man with deep sins
Bai Cai watched the clip from the live stream and tsked, “Old Wei, you’re
really a man with deep sins.”
The video clip contained over ten professional players. Other than the top
three, the rest were all newer players and even included Xia Dan and the
rest.
Xia Dan was good at putting on an act. He even wiped off a tear and cried,
“To be honest, the Grandmaster was idle a few days ago, and Old Yu and I
were both summoned to play a full six hours of wheel wars.”
Yu Fei just so happened to be in a doubles game with him and followed up

with, “Can you guys imagine? The sour yet refreshing feeling of your Egg
God’s famous hero being stomped on and smeared into the ground.”
Xia Dan gave as good as he got, “Nah, your Fish God is a high and lofty
jungler king, but he was slapped in the face by Grandmaster’s eight light
arcs, papapa.”
Mm. These two mutually dragged each other down, and the video became
even more lively!
The audience caught the key point, “Why was Grandmaster so idle?”
Xia Dan: “This can’t be said…”
Yu Fei: “Secret…”
The next video clip showed a real man who really dared to say it. Moonlit
sneered, “He heard about the training match between Close and Gary.”
Fans: “???”
Moonlit spoke expressionlessly, “In ‘19, Close won the championship. He

finished watching the live broadcast, then found me and Eurostar to solo for
eight hours.” It was now 2021. In 2019, Moonlit and Eurostar hadn’t been
in the starting lineups of their teams.
The scrolling comments exploded, “Damn damn damn! He really got

caught up in it!”
The next clip cut back to the smiling Eurostar, “Yes, I switched to the
bottom lane after that.”
When they heard the obsession contained within these words, the passersby
couldn’t help but feel heartache!
What had their Euro God gone through during those eight hours?!
Wei Xiao also saw this video clip. He watched it twice, then called Bai Cai,
“What’s the matter with these guys? They’re all star players. Can’t they feel
some burden of their responsibility as idols?”
What kind of things had they said? A group of professional players had
been bullied by a casual player. How could they just talk about it so frankly!
Bai Cai laughed, “A single person who has been abused still needs to care
about having face, but a group of people who’ve been abused can get
excited about it as a group!”
“What’s more, they know that you’re going to play professionally.

Shouldn’t they lay down a good foundation for it and wash away their
shame?”
Wei Xiao froze, then immediately refuted it, “Who says I’m going to play
professionally?!”
Bai Cai was surprised, “Ah, the captain didn’t invite you?”
Wei Xiao choked: He really had invited him.

Bai Cai: “F*ck, brother, you’re really amazing. You rejected the great
demon king twice. You’re really something else and can’t be considered an
ordinary person.”
Wei Xiao felt a little guilty for some reason, “Don’t talk randomly about
things that didn’t happen.”
Bai Cai: “No way, you two stayed in one room together for a few hours, and
the captain didn’t do anything to you?”
Wei Xiao was quiet for a moment, “Old Bai, I suspect you’re driving, and I
even have evidence.”
Bai Cai: “The driver sees the car. Brother Xiao, it’s time for you to wash
your mind.”
Wei Xiao was too lazy to continue being pithy with him, “In short, you’re
all overthinking it. I won’t become a professional gamer.”
Bai Cai’s words were accurate enough to draw blood, “Then what are you
going on about?”
Wei Xiao paused.
Bai Cai wanted to strike while the iron was hot and poke at him again. Who
could’ve known that this fellow would slap his thigh, “Right, as long as I
don’t play professionally, the flames of their revenge won’t be able to burn
me!”
Bei Cai: “Sigh…”
That wasn’t the point. He wanted Wei Xiao to see his own restless and
eager professional player heart. But why was it that…
Wei Xiao: “Good brother, you’ve helped me see things clearly!”

Wei Xiao: “In fact, if it’s like this, there’s no need to worry so much about
it. Make an appointment with those star players later on; I think they’re
quite looking forward to it. We can’t favor anyone more than anyone else.”
Bai Cai: “S C R A M!”
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
Bai Cai: “Scram!”
Wei Xiao scrammed, but he came rolling back soon after, “Old Bai, I used
to only know that you were shameless before, but I really never thought that
you would be this shameless!”
Bai Cai’s head was hurting, “What’s the matter?”
Wei Xiao tossed him a screenshot, “This… this… give my eyes back to
me!”
The screenshot showed Bai Cai’s Weibo message from this morning. Oh, it
was the one he’d sent out from his Gossip Emperor alt account.
The content…
To be honest, Bai Cai felt that his own eyes hurt from looking at it, “Wei
Xiao, there’s something wrong with you, right? What are you staring at my
alt account for?”
Wei Xiao: “Do you think I want to? I was searching for my own gossip.
Who could’ve known that I would see this sweetness between you and
Close… sorry, I need to throw up.”
Wei Xiao didn’t follow Bai Cai’s alt account at all. He’d been carefully
searching for One Lamp Grandmaster and trying to remember how many
enemies he’d created. Who could’ve known that some craziness had pushed
the famous Gossip Emperor in front of him after a certain related search?
The latest Weibo from the Gossip Emperor that had been posted just a short
time ago, already had ten thousand comments and a surprisingly high level
of popularity.
Wei Xiao glanced at it, then hugged the husky and fell into a daze.
––The great demon king of e-sports and his beloved little support wife.
The content burned Wei Xiao’s eyes even further. The Gossip Emperor had
written a short paper with serious analysis on last night’s double queue
crash.
The exact match where Bai Cai and Wei Xiao had double queued and
crashed cars with Lu Feng and Ning Zhehan.
Lu Feng had killed Bai Cai 19 times, and the analysis claimed he was
jealous.
Lu Feng failed to protect Ning Zhehan even once, and the analysis was that
he’d been forced into teaming up with him.
Even kicking out Bai Cai and going to double queue with Wei Xiao at the
end had an extra layer of explanation––
He was going to fight a solo match against his ‘rival’!
Wei Xiao’s goosebumps came out when he saw it, “Old Bai, you’re really a
cruel man, and you’re really vicious to yourself…”
Nobody knew that the Gossip Emperor was Bai Cai, but Brother Cai had
really sacrificed himself in spirit to satisfy everyone. It really made people
want to shout––how shameless!
The corner of Bai Cai’s mouth twitched, “Do you think I wanted to post
this?!”
Wei Xiao: “Everything is for the sake of traffic. Old Bai, making this
money really hasn’t been easy for you.”
Bai Cai: “Shit!”

He opened up the Gossip Emperor account’s private messages and began to
crazily take a series of screenshots, “Look, take a good look. Yesterday, I
received 800 private messages. 700 of them are YY about you and God
Lu!”
He’d been kind enough to help divert the netizens’ attention, but this guy
didn’t even appreciate it!
Wei Xiao was rendered speechless by this screenshot.
Compared with the private messages from little sisters, the little articles
sent to the Gossip Emperor were even clearer than still water.
Bai Cai raged, “Get it?”
Bai Cai rolled his eyes, “Laozi is protecting you, yet you’re not even
grateful. You’re heartless…”
“No…” Wei Xiao asked this very seriously, “Why am I the shou?”
Bai Cai: “Ah?”
Wei Xiao was very dissatisfied, “Why do they all think that I’m the shou?
Am I not powerful? Am I not amazing? Am I not Alpha-like?”
Wei Xiao evaluated himself, “Oh, I seem to be shorter than Close, but I
could still grow taller by at least another 3 centimeters. 185cm shouldn’t be
a problem. Umm… it seems that that’s still shorter than Close…”
Bai Cai: “Old Wei.”
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
Bai Cai: “Go and get lost ahhhhhhhhhh!!!”

There was a click as he hung up.
Why…
What kind of sins had he, Bai Cai, committed for him to end up as brothers
with this crazy person!?
After irritating Bai Cai, Wei Xiao’s spirit was refreshed, and he got out of
bed to walk the dog.
It was very cold at the end of January. Wei Xiao didn’t wear much, but the
husky still caused him to work up a sweat.
He’d just returned home when his cell phone rang.
This was a sound effect from the accompanying player platform. Wei Xiao
took out his cell phone and took a look. Indeed, it was his boss.
LU: “There?”
Wei Xiao directly sent over a voice message, “I’m almost home.” He was a
little breathless from running.
LU paused for a moment, “Exercising?”
Wei Xiao: “Walking the dog counts, right?!”
Wei Xiao: “Boss, wait a moment. I’m going to take a shower first.”
LU: “No rush.”
Wei Xiao washed up, and looked in the mirror after he finished wiping
himself down.
Was 182cm considered short? Why was he the shou?
Oh…
Abdominal muscles.
Tsk. Wei Xiao thought of Lu Feng’s figure and was a little sour, “How
could there be an internet addict like that? How unqualified!”
After pulling on clothes, Wei Xiao went out and picked up his phone,
“Boss?”
LU: “Here.”
Wei Xiao: “I’m logging on.”
The low rank bracket was too easy for Wei Xiao. He could play casually,
easily put in some amazing plays, and make the opposite side shout daddy.
After playing about seven or eight games together, the two became more
and more familiar with each other.
Wei Xiao was the type of person who had more to say the more familiar he
was with someone. At first, he was very serious as he explained general
things about the game, but he slowly began to show off.
“See, if this skill is linked well, you can kill all the way to the other team’s
base in one go.”
“Look at this sinister strike of mine, isn’t it badass?!”
“To be honest, most professional players can’t do this.”
After boasting more and becoming more familiar, LU typed, “You’re very
powerful.”
Wei Xiao: “So-so. It’s still a little worse than the world’s number one.”
The corner of Lu Feng’s lips curved slightly, and he asked, “If you’re so
strong, why don’t you play professionally?”
Wei Xiao paused.
LU: “There’s more future in playing professionally than in being an

accompanying player.”
If anyone else had asked him this question, even if it was Bai Cai, Wei Xiao
would simply interrupt with another topic and move past it. He definitely
wouldn’t say what he felt in his heart.
However, LU wasn’t someone from the professional circle. He was just an

ordinary player, one who’d taken good care of him and was both kind and
generous.
Wei Xiao felt quite fond of him and didn’t mind telling him the truth. “You
might not believe it if I tell you, but I was about to sign a contract two years
ago. I wanted to earn money to take my grandma around the world. Yet as a
result…”
Lu Feng was a little shocked.
Wei Xiao: “My grandma heard that I wanted to play professionally and
almost beat me into pieces!”
Lu Feng: “It’s true that the older generation doesn’t have an understanding
of e-sports.”
Wei Xiao joked, “I grew up with my grandma and in my entire life, she’s
the only one I’m scared of. The things she doesn’t let me do are things I
won’t do, and besides, playing professionally is really annoying. It’s
stressful and tiring. Don’t just look at how much money can be earned;
there’s no time to even spend the money, and it’s useless to earn more.”
Just then, the two of them entered a new game. Lu Feng didn’t say anything
else.
Wei Xiao was reminded of his grandma, and his nose ached a little.
He pulled over the husky and rubbed its fur a few times before managing to
hold back his tears.
The two of them queued for another three or four games, before Lu Feng
said, “I have something to do here, I’ll log off first.”
After playing for so long, Wei Xiao’s mood had already recovered long ago.
He was very agreeable, “’Kay!”
The boss had gone offline, so Wei Xiao switched to his main account and
was just about to start queuing for games when a WeChat message popped
up.
Close: “Come double queue?”
Wei Xiao’s eyes brightened. He immediately quit his individual queue and
replied, “Yes!”
Close: “Have you eaten?”
Wei Xiao: “Not yet.”
Close asked casually, “Just woke up?”
Wei Xiao: “Been up for a while. I was accompanying the boss…”
He’d just typed out these three words when he felt that it wasn’t quite right.
Don’t judge him on how he’d been an accompanying player for so long.
He’d really never accompanied a proper boss before. He’d previously made
all of his money by abusing professional players.
One Lamp Grandmaster’s reputation was actually quite cool…
Wei Xiao was usually very shameless, but he felt an unusual sense of care
when dealing with Close.
He changed his tone, “Been up for a while. I played a few matches with my
girlfriend.”
After sending it out, Wei Xiao complimented himself: Laozi was really
damn smart. Take a look at this style of being a life winner, a really cool
guy!

Brother Xiao, your Schrodinger’s girlfriend hahahahaha!
Juurensha: …you just can’t win with your mouth, WX! xiin: yeah, just tell
your girlfriend you’ve been playing with your other girlfriend… good job,

Ch19 - A person who diligently and
conscientiously wrecks all the men
in the Glory circle
This cool guy probably wouldn’t feel so cool if he’d known that the person
on the other side had his two identities both labelled as Wei Xiao’s
girlfriend.
Lu Feng smiled briefly, “Girlfriend?”
There was a reason why the great demon king was the great demon king.
Firstly, Lu Feng was very powerful and could use his own strength to crush
professional players worldwide. If he wasn’t a demon king, then who else
would dare call themselves a king? Secondly, he had a cold and indifferent
personality. According to the statistics calculated by his fanatical fans, the
probability of Close’s mouth curving upwards all year round was about the
same as that of a comet hitting the earth.
Fine, they were exaggerating a little, but it was enough to show how little
Lu Feng liked to smile.
Now that Close had encountered Wei Xiao…
Comets were about to smash Mother Earth to tears.
As soon as Wei Xiao thought about how he now had a girlfriend at 19 years
old, he felt that it was worth showing off in a low-key way, “Low ranked
bracket, just playing to keep her company.”
Lu Feng: “I didn’t disturb you, right.”

Wei Xiao: “No, she’s very busy. She had something else to do after a few
matches.”
Lu Feng: “Student?”
Wei Xiao evaluated, “Working. A powerful woman.” For them to be able to

casually spend two million to find an accompanying player, his boss was
very likely to be a big president.
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
When faced with this monosyllabic Lu Feng, Wei Xiao couldn’t keep
himself from explaining further, “She’s very powerful when working, but
she’s very cute in private. Especially when she plays games, she’s
particularly clever and obedient.”
Wei Xiao happily continued to make things up, “She’s the cutest when she
plays the fire mage, bouncing around and jumping straight to the top of my
heart.”
In order to act like a new player, Lu Feng used the account LU and only
used the fire mage when playing with Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao coughed, “Look at me go on, I talk too much once I get started.”
Lu Feng: “It’s fine.”
At the end, he added another sentence, “Are you both coming to visit the
base tomorrow?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
“No, no.” Wei Xiao hurriedly replied, “She’s very busy.”
Lu Feng: “Tomorrow is Sunday.”

Wei Xiao clenched his teeth, “There are no weekends for powerful
women!”
Lu Feng: “Then he should value you quite a lot to play games with you
despite being so busy.”
Wei Xiao stared at the word ‘he’.
Lu Feng: “Oh, typo.”
Wei Xiao felt so guilty he wanted to die, “Captain Lu, your typo is really
deadly!”
Lu Feng withdrew the message and resent it after editing––
“Then he should really value you a lot to play games with you despite being
so busy.”
Wei Xiao stared at it and read it over twice before discovering that what Lu
Feng had changed wasn’t the typo ‘he’. Instead, he’d changed ‘quite’ to
‘really’?
No way, are you sure you corrected your sentence?!
Lu Feng sent over another line of text, “It’s still wrong. Just make do with
it.”
Wei Xiao: “…………………”
“She!” Wei Xiao corrected him, “It’s her!”
Lu Feng: “I know.”
Why did Wei Xiao feel that this person didn’t really ‘know’?
Sure enough, one really shouldn’t speak nonsense. There was always the
risk of having the tables turned at the slightest thing.
Forget it, forget it. Instead of showing off his current life, Wei Xiao asked,
“Let’s queue?”
Lu Feng: “Go eat first.”
Wei Xiao hadn’t played enough yesterday and was in the midst of having
fun today, “My takeaway hasn’t arrived yet. Let’s play a match first.”
Lu Feng agreed.
There would be a maintenance update every Friday. While waiting for the
new data packages from the maintenance to download, Lu Feng asked, “Do
you mind if I stream?”
Although Wei Xiao wasn’t in the professional Glory circle, he had a very
good understanding of professional players. They had to play in
competitions, eat at appropriate times, indulge their fans, and completing
their live stream quota hours was homework that had to be handed in.
He didn’t mind, “It’s fine, stream as you like.”
He often accompanied Bai Cai when he was streaming and was long used to
it. However, he’d forgotten that the person on the other side wasn’t the
beloved little support wife, but rather the great demon king of e-sports.
Lu Feng’s live studio had just opened up and hadn’t even been shared on
Weibo when the number of viewers soared to a million in an instant.
“Everything comes to those who wait; I’ve finally managed to stalk and
wait until God Lu started broadcasting live!”
“Aaahhh, God Lu has come to his live stream studio to pull up weeds!!!”
“Oh my god oh my god oh my god, to be able to see God Lu again in this

lifetime, this old woman can die in peace!”
“No way, there’s no red rain today. How could a Close fall down from the
sky?!”
The scrolling comments were sweeping through like crazy. Most of them
were cries of true love, with proposals and requests for marriage competing
for space.
The countless crazy scrolling comments were interspersed with one or two
more rational fans, “God Lu, could you turn on your camera?”
As soon as these words came out, it set off a million waves. Regardless of
whether they were girlfriend fans, madame fans, mama fans, CP fans, or
poisonous fans, they were all united with the same request, “Turn on the
camera, turn on the camera, turn on the camera!”
Lu Feng turned on his mic, “There’s training in a bit. I’m just casually
playing a match.”
Although they couldn’t see his face, his voice alone was already enough to
topple a large stretch of fans in his live stream studio.
“Worth it… this Friday was totally worth it.”
“Yingyingying, how could a voice be so pleasant to the ears?”
“Sisters, hold on, what are you recording for?!”
After the new data packages finished downloading and installing, Lu Feng
logged into the game and opened up a team room.
The fans in the studio still didn’t know that something big was about to
happen. They were just discussing delightedly amongst themselves, “What
does God Lu want to play? I’m okay with anything, it’s like New Year’s
day today!”
Then, Lu Feng invited a person from his friends list.
ID: Professor.
The scrolling comments in the live stream froze for half a second, then
thoroughly exploded.
Professor!
Professor!
Grandmaster!
The hot search topic hadn’t even disappeared yet, but they were starting it
up again?!
“Holy shit, is it true? Is the Grandmaster really going to join FTW?!”
“These two just finished queueing together last night, but they’re now
purposely coming to stream their game?”
There was someone who hadn’t yet caught up on the gossip, “Who is this
Grandmaster?”
Someone immediately explained it to him––
“A person who has all kinds of fans behind him as he diligently and
conscientiously wrecks all the men in the Glory circle.”
“A wild horse that all the top contestants in my circle are unable to forget.”
“A man who has already brought about a reign of terror without even
making his debut!”
Fortunately, Wei Xiao couldn’t see the scrolling comments. Otherwise, he

would definitely… make sure to advertise himself properly!
200 per game was no longer enough. 500 per game would match his
identity’s current popularity.
It had to be said that his boss really had discerning vision. He’d purchased
10,000 games at the lowest price. It was really a steady profit without any
losses!
Wei Xiao turned on the mic, “Is there sound?”

His words were very proper when he was on a live stream.
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao: “Start, then. I’m ready.”
Lu Feng: “Just one game. After that, you go eat first.”
Wei Xiao: “It’s fine, I’m not hungry.”
Lu Feng was silent.
Wei Xiao quickly spoke again, “Okay, okay, okay, whatever you say.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
It was a simple conversation, but the scrolling comments had already gone
crazy.
“Is this my great demon king? Is this really my ruthless, emotionless great
demon king who only says a single word during half an hour of live
streaming?!”
“No way… isn’t he supposed to be cold and indifferent? Someone high up

in the mountains who can only be looked up at in awe? Someone who sends
others into seclusion with a single syllable?!”
“Hold on… does my FTW really have training later? It can’t be that God Lu
is only broadcasting one game so that the Grandmaster will eat, right?”
“I feel that God Lu’s little silence was a little discontented… joking.”
“Grandmaster is really… doing whatever he says.”
“As a vegetable fan, let me clarify something. Grandmaster’s ‘whatever you

say’ has been spoken to Caicai no less than ten times.”
“… Worthy of being someone who has wrecked his way through the men of
the Glory circle.”
“Sure enough, if a man isn’t a bad boy, then other men won’t love them!”
In the game, Lu Feng asked Wei Xiao: “Try top-lane?”
Wei Xiao: “No problem.”
Lu Feng took the jungler position and selected anonymous mode.
Wei Xiao was someone who could play any position except support.
Of course, he had a tendency towards one position no matter how versatile

he was, just like how Lu Feng was better at close combat heroes. It was the
same for Wei Xiao.
If he couldn’t play jungler, then Wei Xiao’s next favorite was top-lane.
There were many heroes that could be used in both the top lane and the
jungle. Choosing which hero to take depended on the lineup.
There was no need to take these things into account in the lower ranked
brackets, but they needed to be considered in the higher tiers.
Regardless of the strength of the individual, if the lineup already restrained

them, then even the world’s number one player wouldn’t be able to turn the
tables in 5v5.
Lu Feng didn’t take the thief. Instead, he chose the ghost paladin.
This hero was more suitable for the top lane, but it could naturally also be
used in the jungle.
Wei Xiao cooperated with him and took the thief, using it for the top lane.
A ghost paladin’s DPS was relatively small, and it was a good match to
have a thief supplement the damage.
The scrolling comments calmed down a bit, and quite a few technical
emperors came up to start sharing general knowledge––
“Recently, Close likes choosing top-lane heroes.”
“There’s nothing wrong with using a ghost paladin for the jungler position.
L&P also came up with this method during this year’s finals.”
“This season, blue collar junglers are the real daddies. The thief has been
nailed to the cold bench since a long time ago.”
“FTW, hurry up and change your way of thinking. It’s been three years of
jungle core (using the jungler position as the core of the team), yet you still
haven’t entered the world finals!”
The haters all started to show up, “Enough already, with your number one
in the world on the team, FTW’s core will only ever be him in this
lifetime.”
“This Professor’s ability isn’t bad, but unfortunately, entering FTW is a

dead end.”
“Child, listen to daddy’s advice. You can go anywhere but FTW. Sooner or
later, you’ll be sucked dry by God Lu.”
The game ended in less than half an hour.
Wei Xiao felt like he hadn’t managed to flex to the best of his abilities
before they won.
Lu Feng: “Alright, go eat.”
Wei Xiao tried to tempt him, “How about one round of solo?”
Lu Feng: “Sure…”
Wei Xiao almost bounced up, “Let’s go!”
Lu Feng finished his words, “When you come to the base.”
Wei Xiao: “???”

Lu Feng closed the live broadcast and said to him, “See you tomorrow.”
Wei Xiao’s heart felt incredibly itchy, “About that…”
Couldn’t they solo anywhere? Why did it have to be at the base?!
Lu Feng spoke slowly, “We have three training matches with L&P. For
every match FTW wins, I’ll solo with you for three hours.”
Wei Xiao: “!!!”
Lu Feng continued, “Winning three matches is nine hours.”
The bloodthirsty youth who even dreamed of soloing with Lu Feng let it all
get to his head.
Wei Xiao: “A promise is a promise!”
Lu Feng: “Okay.”
After the excitement passed, Wei Xiao quickly calmed down.
That wasn’t right…
L&P was the strongest team in North America, and it had been the runner
up in the global finals last year.
FTW was a team that did round tours in international competitions. How
could they win against the runner up from the finals?!
Let alone…
FTW had undergone major changes this year.
An old player and god, Tang Chen, had retired. Their mid-lane that had
gone through over a year of running in had also been listed for a transfer.
The newcomer Ning Zhehan had been hammered into seclusion from
domestic training matches, let alone in a training match against the runner
up in the global finals!
Even if Little Ning had made rapid progress and was now able to hold up
the mid-lane, FTW was still short a top-lane player.
God Tang was gone, but FTW hadn’t signed anyone new yet, right?
Could it be that they were planning to transfer someone from the reserve
team to fill the position?
It wasn’t that Wei Xiao looked down on the reserve team’s players, but
L&P was really too strong!
What nine hours of solo? Close was just teasing him!
FTW had no chance of winning at all!
Unless…
A bold idea popped out in Wei Xiao’s heart––if he went and replaced the
top-lane position, there might be a small hope of winning?
Even just winning a single match would be good.
He could solo for three hours!
Juurensha: WX….you’re about to fall into another one of Lu Feng’s traps.

xiin: that’s almost an improvement from falling into his own pits… and he
won’t regret this one~
Ch20 - If he was in FTW, how
would he allow Close to have
enough energy to look for other
people?!
No way!
Wei Xiao quickly shook his head until the idea was rattled out of his mind.
How could an outsider play in the training match that FTW had spent so
much effort on obtaining?
This was a great opportunity to hone a team. Even if they were completely
defeated, it would still bring them great benefits!
Pressure was a double-edged sword. If it was used well, Ning Zhehan and
the new top-lane would grow very quickly.
Yue Wenle was a good example of that.
One year ago, he’d been smeared all over the ground by Wei Xiao. Now,
the ice hunter in his hands had become a nightmare for many professional
players.
Ning Zhehan’s growth was bound to accelerate after these three training
matches. Within a month, Wei Xiao wouldn’t be able to win every solo
game against him.
There was also the mysterious top-lane player, the lucky guy who’d been
hiding in some unknown corner. After this series of matches, he would
definitely gain great insights and understanding, and from then on, he
would rise to the top like a cloud.
As Wei Xiao thought about it more and more, he felt that the bread he held
in his hands wasn’t tasty anymore.
“What kind of stupid thing is this, it must be expired!” How come it tasted
sour and ashy?
Soybean really wanted to eat it, jumping and bouncing around.
Wei Xiao patted its head, “Go eat your dog food!”
Soybean: “Aroo.”
Wei Xiao ignored him and tossed the bread into the garbage can before
opening up the empty refrigerator, “Shit, laozi doesn’t even have dog food
to eat!”
Wei Xiao was still a little hungry. He ordered some small crayfish and sat
cross legged on the sofa to wait for it.
His cell phone beeped.
Bai Cai: “???”
Wei Xiao acted as though he didn’t see it.
Bai Cai sent over a screenshot and followed up with, “Do you f*cking
consider me as your brother? It’s about to be announced officially, yet
you’re still hiding it from me? Do you have to wait until the kids can make
soy sauce before you tell me that we’re going to sleep together?!”
The content of the screenshot was completely within Wei Xiao’s

expectations.
Grandmaster: “How about one round of solo?”
Close: “Sure.”
Grandmaster (jumping eagerly): “Let’s go!”
Close (smiling): “When you come to the base.”
Someone had captioned his conversation with Lu Feng, paying great

attention to detail. They’d even included the emotion in brackets!
The comments below were so heated they soared up to the sky, “Evidence!
A real hammer! Waiting for the official announcement!”
“With this great general, our FTW will be stable!”
“This year’s China competition zone is going to be very powerful. Polaris is

on the rise!”
“Worth watching, worth watching. I’m starting to look forward to the

national finals!”
Bai Cai continued to question him, “Didn’t you say you would rather be
beaten to death than play professionally? Didn’t you say that you would
never come to FTW? Didn’t you say you’d rather starve to death than
become my teammate?!”
Wei Xiao clutched at his hair, “You’ve misunderstood.”
Bai Cai: “The recording is right there. Do you want me to show up beneath
your building and play it publicly?”
Wei Xiao sighed, “I’m going to FTW, but I’m just going there to watch
your training matches.”
Wei Xiao told him the whole story.
Bai Cai was muddled, “So you mean to say… you’re just coming to FTW
for a visit?”
Wei Xiao: “Yes.”

Bai Cai: “You guys…”
They’d kicked up such a big fuss that the entire network had exploded.
Now, he was saying that he wasn’t joining?
Wait a minute, Bai Cai seemed to suddenly understand something.
Wei Xiao’s heart was preoccupied, and he seemed very casual as he asked
Bai Cai, “Before, you said that Close was interested in a top-lane player?”
Bai Cai was silent for a moment, “Yes.”
Wei Xiao sounded even more casual, “Who is it?”
It’s you!
Bai Cai was worthy of being the person who knew the most about the Glory
professional circle. His brain processed very quickly, and he soon seemed to
touch on the edges of an idea.
Bai Cai: “Secret.”
Wei Xiao tsked, “Won’t I know who it is when I watch the training match?”
Bai Cai: “That’s got nothing to do with me. In any case, I won’t be the one
to say it.”
Wei Xiao was really anxious, “Petty vegetable.”
Bai Cai stimulated him deliberately, “”So what if you find out? They won’t
look for you for training. They already have a ready-made Close to turn to.
Will they need to look for you for solo games?”
Bai Cai: “In the future, Little Ning won’t look for you for solo games either.
Close has been paying more attention to him recently.”

Bai Cai: “Waterfront towers are first to catch the moon. Look at you, didn’t
you also spend such a long time soloing with God Lu? Don’t judge him
based on how our team captain is so cold and indifferent to outsiders, he’s
very good towards his own people.” Damn, saying such words that went
against his convictions really made him feel a little hollow.
Wei Xiao couldn’t bear to listen further, “If you have something to say, then
say it. If there’s nothing, I’m going to hang up!”
Bai Cai: “There’s nothing else, bye bye to you, see you tomorrow.”
Wei Xiao hung up the phone and was even more angry.
Two years ago, if he’d…
F*ck! If he was in FTW, how would he allow Close to have enough energy
to look for other people?!
FTW base.
The team didn’t have training in the afternoon, but Lu Feng hadn’t stopped
after one match solely because Wei Xiao needed to eat. He did have
something else to do.
On the fourth floor, in the coaching team meeting room.
Chen Feng, as the coach, was currently staring at the screen.
After his retirement, Tang Chen had also stayed on in the team as an
assistant coach. Normally, he spent time with the second team.
When Lu Feng pushed the door open, Chen Feng had just finished watching
the replay.
Tang Chen: “There’s no problem with Wei Xiao taking the top lane. Hand
him over to me after he joins the team. I’ll give him special training.”
Anyone who saw such a good seedling would itch to give them training.
Chen Feng didn’t say anything. He dragged the progress bar across and
stopped it when the perspective focused on the thief.
Lu Feng’s gaze slid across, and he said, “He has very clear ideas when he
plays in the jungle.”
Chen Feng: “He’s too wild.”
Lu Feng: “That’s not a bad thing.”
Chen Feng exhaled lightly, “That’s true. Wei Xiao’s wild fighting style is
very difficult for the opposite team to resist, but it’s also riskier.”
Lu Feng: “Benefits and risk coexist.”
God Tang, who’d come to the party late, somehow still managed to keep up
with what these two wanted to say, “F*ck, you want to have this kid play
jungler?”
Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him.
Tang Chen was stunned, his mouth dropping open, “No way… What about
old Lu? He’ll go top-lane? You guys are joking, right?! Lu Feng has been
fighting in the jungle for four years, ever since he started his career. You
want him to switch positions?”
Chen Feng didn’t sound happy, “I didn’t tell him to switch positions!”
Lu Feng’s gaze was locked on that bloodthirsty shadow thief, “Wei Xiao’s
very suitable for the jungler position.”
Tang Chen’s expression was full of disbelief, “In the entire Chinese
competition zone, there’s nobody more suitable for it than you!”
Lu Feng had begun playing professionally at the age of 17. From the day he
entered FTW, his primary position had always been jungler.
2017 was the highlight year for FTW. Not only had the club found the
young genius Close, they’d also gathered the strongest top-laner from back
then, the strongest mid-laner, the ADC who’d won two championships from
Korea, as well as the support who’d entered the Temple of Glory.
That year, FTW made it to the global finals, won the first team
championship for the China competition zone, and also won the singles
championship and doubles runner-up.
This was their peak year, their most magnificent year, and also their most
glorious year.
2017.
Glory had belonged to FTW, to China, and the hundreds of millions of

Chinese players!
Debuting at the peak was exactly what happened to Close.
Unfortunately, at the end of 2017, FTW split up. The only players left in the
team were Close, who’d only just turned 18, and Chen Feng, who’d retired,
as well as Tang Chen, who’d been a substitute back then.
Toppling down from the clouds was an experience that was impossible to
imagine for those who hadn’t struggled down that thorny road.
However, even if they’d fallen into the dirt, even if they had to bear heavy
pressure, Close had still remained strong and won three individual
championships!
No matter how much the anti-fans cursed him.
No matter how much the haters resented him.
There was one thing that couldn’t be denied––
Over these past three years, in the fragmented China competition zone, the
only backbone they had was Close!
Chen Feng’s heart was very upset, “The fans will go crazy if you don’t fill
the jungler position!”
Tang Chen added, “It’s very difficult for the top-lane to be the core of the
team.”
Lu Feng shifted his gaze away to look at them, “Glory is not a game for me
alone.”
Tang Chen was stunned.
Chen Feng said, “Yes. It’s a team game. It’s a game where the sum of five
players is greater than five, but your personal strength is still there. No one
is stronger than you.”
Lu Feng looked at the thief on the screen, and there was a faint flash of light
in his deep eyes.
Chen Feng sighed, “Wei Xiao is very strong, but he lacks competition
experience, particularly team competition experience. I don’t need to tell
you how important this position is. Will he be able to hold it if you give it to
him just like this?”
Tang Chen added, “I think that this little lunatic is more suited for top-lane.
Look at this ferocity. Let him go to the top lane and go wild. His opponent
will have to worry about going bald.”
Chen Feng continued, “That’s right. Wei Xiao’s personal ability is very
strong. Looking at the whole of China, there’s nobody who can hold him
down.”
Lu Feng shook his head, “I’m more suitable for the top-lane than he is.”
Chen Feng and Tang Chen both paused.
Lu Feng said, “Not only just in China, but also in the 16 competition zones.
There’s nobody who can hold me down.”
These words…
There were probably no players in the world who could refute them.
However, the problem was, if you go to the top lane, then what about the
jungler position?!
Could this little shrimp Wei Xiaoxiao really hold up this huge flag?!
Lu Feng glanced at the time, “I’m going out for a bit.”
Tang Chen was still in a trance, and Chen Feng was also a mess, “Little
Lunatic Wei agreed to return to the team?”
Lu Feng: “No.”
Chen Feng immediately sat up straight, “Ah, you haven’t convinced him
yet?”
Lu Feng picked up his coat and pulled it on, “I’m going to his house to take
a look.”
Chen Feng blinked, “Is it really that his family doesn’t agree?”
Based on Lu Feng’s attention on Wei Xiao, the signing fee would definitely
be eight figures. For them to be unwilling to let him go despite such a big
offer, the little lunatic’s family must be really rich.
Lu Feng didn’t say anything.
He’d checked the information from two years ago and had found Wei
Xiao’s home address. The first message he’d heard was––
Two years ago, Wei Xiao’s grandmother had died.
At that time, Wei Xiao had absolutely refused to let his father into the
house.
Juurensha: Ah, backstory time! xiin: don’t worry! things will work out~
Ch21 - Two years later, this was the
first time he was meeting Close in
reality again
It wasn’t difficult to obtain information about Wei Xiao’s family.
As long as he went to the small town where his family lived, went to a shop
there, and casually bought something without asking in too much detail, the
other party would share everything they knew about the Wei family.
Before going there, Lu Feng had come up with many possible ideas.
However, he hadn’t expected that it would be like this.
The Wei family was famous in the local area. They weren’t rich or
powerful, but strange.
In fact, it wasn’t appropriate to use this word to describe them, but the
people in this small town all regarded this existence that was so out of place
as a strange wonder.
Wei Xiao’s father, Wei Quan, was a strange existence in the eyes of the
small town’s people.
In a little place like this where everyone only thought about firewood, rice,
oil, and salt, a person who lost it all for the sake of pursuing his dream was
an existence that the people found very difficult to understand.
Wei Quan was a painter. Or, it should be said that he always wanted to be a
painter.
Painting was a money burning business, and the Wei family wasn’t rich at
all. Grandpa Wei had passed away early, and Grandma Wei raised Wei
Quan on her own. It hadn’t been easy.
Wei Quan had a stubborn temper, and he insisted on doing the things he’d
decided on all the way until the end. Other than painting, he was
uninterested in anything else.
Fortunately, he didn’t have any special requirements. He could even go

without eating as long as he had a brush, canvas, and oil paint.
Grandma Wei had indulged him at first, but she couldn’t hold on any longer
in the end. She arranged a match for him, hoping that he would gain a sense
of responsibility and learn to support his family after marriage.
At the start, Wei Quan hadn’t wanted to get married, but he fell in love after
meeting Mother Wei.
Li Su was a person who understood him, someone who supported his

painting.
She’d been born in a small town and yearned for beautiful things.
Wei Quan’s paintings were ugly and absurd, but Li Su felt that they were
very beautiful. She felt that the man who crouched in front of the canvas
was dazzling.
After their marriage, the sense of responsibility that Grandma Wei was
waiting for didn’t come. Instead, it ushered in an even crazier son.
Li Su was fully supportive of his painting. She took on all the housework
and went looking for work everywhere in order to make money, supporting
the family and allowing her husband to pursue his dream.
Grandma Wei was angry at her for indulging Wei Quan, and was also
distressed at how tired she had to be.
This period of time had actually been a happy one. Although the family was
tired, and although Wei Quan didn’t behave as expected, the two women
were enough to keep the household organized and afloat.
Until Wei Xiao was born.
This couple didn’t care about their child at all.
Wei Xiao had only turned two when Wei Quan began to go elsewhere for
further study. Li Su followed him to take care of him, and left their only son
back in their hometown.
Wei Xiao had a father and mother, but he grew up being taken care of by his
grandmother.
When Wei Xiao was mentioned, the woman in the convenience store shook
her head and sighed, “He’s really a good child. I’ve never seen such a
sensible and intelligent kid. He knew how to count when he was four or five
years old, and knew how to help his grandma buy things and count money.
He always did well in primary school and would get full marks on tests
every time. He was also very strong-willed. Nobody dared bully him, and
he really made others care for him!”
“Tell me, how could there be such muddleheaded parents who would leave
behind such a good child and insist on creating some paintings?”
“It would be fine if they could make some money, but the two of them were
living from one meal to the next. What’s the point?”
“Ah, Wei Xiao was really the ideal child. He was so sensible, his studies
were good, he had a good temper, he liked to talk and laugh, and would do
housework when he went home, coaxing his grandma until a smile split her
face…”
“We all say that a grandson is an old lady’s reward, and after suffering
comes happiness. With such a precious grandson, she could just wait for
happiness to come in the future.”
“Who could’ve known that the old lady’s life was bitter. She passed away
even before her grandchild was admitted into university…”
“Two years ago, when he came back to see his sick grandma, that child Wei
Xiao…” The woman wiped away a tear as she spoke, “Ah, say, how could
this child be so unfortunate, how could life be so bitter!”
Although he couldn’t see the scene from back then, Lu Feng still
remembered the 17 year old Wei Xiao.
The tall and thin youth had a pair of bright eyes that sparkled like stars.
He liked to laugh, liked to make a fuss, acting as though everything that

happened in the world was no big deal.
Dauntless, fearless, bold, flamboyant.
Who could’ve thought that he’d been born in such a family with no support
and grown up in such a swamp of thorns?
Grandma Wei had died of illness. It was a disease that could’ve been cured
if it was discovered early, but their family situation had been so bad,
Grandma Wei had been worried about dragging her family down and had
continuously endured it.
Finally…
She’d left this mortal world.
At that time, Wei Xiao had been one step away from the two million yuan
signing fee.
He’d said that he wanted to take his grandma around the world…
He’d wanted to build a good life for his grandma who’d suffered all her
life…
However, it was all gone.
Grandma Wei passed away, and Wei Quan came back.

The man who’d selfishly spent half his life pursuing an illusory dream
finally woke up.
He knelt in front of the door and kowtowed with a face full of tears.
Wei Xiao barred the door tight and refused to allow him to enter.
In the heart of the 17 year old youth, the man in front of him wasn’t his
father. He was the murderer who’d killed his closest relative.
“Ai, if it wasn’t for his grandma passing away, Wei Xiao would surely have
been admitted to Tsinghua University!” The woman lamented, “Now, his
father has woken up and is working honestly at home to earn money, but it’s
been two years, and I haven’t seen Wei Xiao come back once…”
“It’s late, it’s all too late. What had this set of parents gone off to do back
then? They had to harm their child irrevocably before waking up!”
Lu Feng went to visit Wei Xiao’s family.
Wei Xiao’s father wasn’t at home, but his mother Li Su was.
The small, ordinary yard was tidy and well maintained.
Li Su opened the door. Her thin face was a little nervous when she saw a
stranger in front of her, “You are…?”
The person in front of her was very tall and well dressed. His face was
young and handsome, and he looked like a TV star.
Lu Feng introduced himself politely, “Hello, I’m one of Wei Xiao’s

friends.” There was nothing wrong with this statement.
Li Su was stunned, and then her pale face was covered in a layer of joy. She
looked behind him, “Little Xiao…”
Lu Feng said, “I came by myself.”

“Oh, it’s like that.” Li Su couldn’t keep the disappointment from her face,
but she soon perked up again and invited him, “Come in, quickly come in,
it’s cold outside.”
Lu Feng followed her inside and saw an old but clean living room.
Li Su made him tea.
Lu Feng thanked her.
Li Su always felt a little nervous when faced with Lu Feng. She asked
softly, “Did you come for something?”
Lu Feng introduced himself, “My name is Lu Feng.”
He handed his business card to Li Su.
Li Su accepted it with both hands and fell into a daze after looking at it.
“E-e-sports?”
Lu Feng, head of the FTW e-sports club.
Lu Feng: “Do you know anything about this industry?”
Li Su paused for a moment, “I know a little.”
Lu Feng continued, “Wei Xiao is very talented. We would like to invite him
to join our club and play in competitions.”
Li Su stared at the business card in her hand in a daze. Her hand was so
tense that her knuckles turned a little white, “He… does Little Xiao like it?”
Lu Feng stilled slightly. He hadn’t expected that she would ask this.
Li Su suddenly looked up at Lu Feng, “Does he like this kind of thing?”
Lu Feng looked at her and nodded. “Yes.”

Li Su’s tense expression relaxed slightly, and a little bit of a smile even
appeared in her eyes, “That’s good. It’s great if he likes it.”
She held the business card like it was a treasure, a treasure that was linked
to her distant son.
Lu Feng said, “I looked into your situation before coming here.”
Li Su wasn’t surprised. Her voice trembled, “We haven’t done right by

him.”
Lu Feng continued, “In fact, we invited him to join us two years ago, but he
left just before signing the contract.”
Li Su froze for a moment, her face paling, “I’m sorry.”
“He’s had many opportunities to play professionally over the past two
years, but he refused all of them.”
Li Su was stupefied.
“He likes the competition stage and is eager for a strong opponent, but he’s
never taken this step.” Lu Feng stared at Li Su and continued, “He said his
grandma didn’t want him to play professionally.”
As soon as this remark came out, Li Su, who’d been suppressing her mood,
lost control over her emotions.
She clutched at the business card as though she was holding onto a last, life-
saving straw and sobbed silently, “No, his grandmother just didn’t want him
to be like his father, she just…”
Lu Feng didn’t say anything. He already knew the answer.
Li Su choked and continued brokenly, “His grandmother loved him the

most and supported everything he wanted to do. She only wanted him to be
happy and didn’t want to see him suffer… it’s all our fault, we were the
ones who were wrong.”
Chagrin and remorse had turned into vipers after their loss, gnawing at the
heart.
Lu Feng handed her a packet of tissues.
Li Su: “I’m sorry, this must be awkward.”
Lu Feng: “It’s not.”
Li Su’s mood stabilized somewhat, and she lifted her head to look at Lu
Feng, “I’m not very clear on what e-sports is, but as long as Little Xiao
likes it, I…”
She smiled bitterly, “His father and I have no right to weigh in, but his
grandmother would definitely support it… He and his father have never
been the same, they’ve never been the slightest bit alike… Mister Lu, can
you help me persuade him? I don’t want him to be affected by us any more.
Little Xiao… this child has already suffered enough.”
Lu Feng’s voice was soft, “I will.”
Li Su suddenly stood up. “Wait a minute. There’s something here that I

would like to ask you to give him. It was left behind by his grandma.”
Lu Feng nodded and agreed, “Okay.”
When he left the small town, Lu Feng had a box in his hand.
There was a painting and a notebook contained inside.
He would find a suitable opportunity to give it to Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao hadn’t expected that someone would ever ring his doorbell at
eight o’clock in the morning!
Eight!
Wei Xiao stared at the time displayed on his phone. He felt like he’d just
seen a huge joke!
They were in the midst of a proper winter vacation. What had he done to
deserve seeing the eight o’clock morning sun?!
The husky saw that he’d woken up and thought that he was taking it for a
walk, pouncing on him in delight.
Wei Xiao couldn’t bear to kick it and could only rage at it, “Go away, go
away, your daddy really wants to see who’s here to screw with me so early
in the morning!”
He stuffed his feet into his slippers and opened the door, his face full of
rage. He thought to himself that if it was Bai Cai, he would hammer him
into rotten vegetables!
The door opened…
There was a bang. Wei Xiao thought he’d seen a ghost when he opened the
door and promptly closed it again.
The husky: “Aroooo~!” What was going on? Weren’t they going out to
play?
Wei Xiao was confused for two seconds. He took a deep breath, “C-C-C-
Close?”
Two years later, this was the first time he was meeting Close in reality
again. At eight o’clock in the morning, in his messy dog kennel place, with
his hair even more of a mess, he’d just seen Close?
“F*ck!”
Wei Xiao hurriedly ran his fingers through his hair a few times, then opened
the door again.
Lu Feng wore a dark colored plaid coat and had a wool scarf at his collar.
His eyebrows and eyes were as cold and indifferent as ever, and people
could feel the chill from outside as he simply stood there.
––The Glory cooling agent.

Had a well-deserved reputation.
“Morning.” Lu Fing looked at him without blinking.
Wei Xiao gaped at him, “Morning.”
The silly dog didn’t care what the atmosphere was like and crowded in,
wanting to squeeze its way out.
Lu Feng’s gaze dropped down, “Is this the one who wants kisses?”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
Previously, Soybean’s meaty paws had pressed blindly, sending Lu Feng an

emoticon that said it wanted kisses.
F*ck!
Wei Xiao must’ve gotten up the wrong way today. What kind of thundering
start to the day was this?!
And then, the husky’s old bad habits just had to kick in. It let out a whimper
and pounced over as soon as its misty blue eyes noticed Lu Feng.
Lu Feng was caught by surprise.
Wei Xiao pulled at the stupid dog, “Soybean, calm down!”
Lu Feng was worthy of being a man who exercised all year round. He was
actually able to withstand this impact, “It’s…”
Wei Xiao’s dignity had been completely tossed away by this dog, “You
won’t believe it even if I tell you, this is a licking dog!”
Lu Feng couldn’t quite figure it out, “Huh?”
Wei Xiao didn’t even try to salvage the situation, “When it sees a good
looking person, it’ll pounce over and lick them.”
It was undoubtedly a real licking dog!
Damn it, how had he managed to raise such a doggy thing?!
Wei Xiao finally managed to control Soybean. It wasn’t easy, and he was
left half sweating all over. “It’s normally not so excited. It’s probably
because you’re too attractive.”
Lu Feng: “………………”
Wei Xiao realized that there was something not quite right with what he’d
just said, “I mean, this dog thinks that you’re attractive, not… you’re very
handsome, and I also think.. f*ck…” The more he explained, the more
toxic it became.
Lu Feng pressed down Soybean’s doggy head, “Good eyesight.”
Wei Xiao: “…………………”
You’re talking about Soybean, this stupid dog, right?!
Lu Feng glanced at him, “I brought breakfast. Want it?”
Husky: “Ao!”
It didn’t understand anything else, but it was particularly good at

understanding the words breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Even by the time breakfast was on the table, the Wei Xiao who’d just taken
a shower was still a little confused.
“God Lu, why did you come to find me so early in the morning?”
Wei Xiao finally asked the key point.
Lu Feng glanced at his wet, dripping hair, then said, “Bringing you to the
base.”
Wei Xiao froze for a moment, “No…”
Lu Feng repeated what he’d said before, “The base has moved. It’s not easy
to find a taxi here; I’ll arrange a car to pick you up.”
Wei Xiao blinked, “So… you came in person?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao’s face was a little incredulous as he bit into a soup dumpling.
“Eat first.” Lu Feng was quite interested in the husky, “It wants to go out
and play? I’ll take it downstairs.”
Wei Xiao stared on blankly as he told him, “Oh, the leash is on the shelf…”
Wei Xiao woke up completely when the door closed again behind him!
What exactly was this situation!
If he hadn’t remembered incorrectly, not only was Lu Feng FTW’s trump

card, he’d also become the owner of the club two years ago.
So, he’d personally come over to pick him up to visit the base?
Was there anyone who would be so nice to him?!
He always felt that there was some trick up ahead…
Half an hour later, Wei Xiao felt that things were even more fantastical.
Lu Feng drove a Cullinan, a Rolls-Royce SUV. Having this car parked

beneath his single bachelor’s apartment in the university town was really
eye-catching.
That wasn’t the key point. After all, it was commonly known that God Lu
wasn’t lacking for money. He could afford any car, no matter how
expensive, but the problem was…
Wei Xiao spoke incredulously, “A friendly reminder, if Soybean scratches
the car seats, I can’t afford to pay for it.”
Lu Feng placed the excited husky in the back seat, “It’s fine.”
Wei Xiao stressed, “It can do anything. What they say about huskies
demolishing houses is real!”
Lu Feng laughed briefly, “The base is very large.”
Wei Xiao: “???”
What did he mean, the base was very large?! Did he mean to let this stupid
dog do as it pleased?!
Wei Xiao had really never thought that he would actually even bring the
husky along with him for a visit to FTW to watch a training match.
Who could’ve known? This aloof and indifferent great demon king of the
Glory circle was actually so friendly towards a licking dog!
Small theatre––
Wei Xiao: I think that there’s a pit up ahead.
Lu Feng: Jumping in or not?
Soybean goes ahead and jumps in first: Ao!
Juurensha: …yeah, I don’t like the parents much even if they feel bad now.
And hahaha, yes, Soybean, help push your master into the pit!
Ch22 - Was this person that Close
had taken a liking to an ancestor or
a top-laner?!
After getting in the car, Wei Xiao was still not at ease, “You really don’t
have to bring the dog, Soybean can take care of himself.”
Lu Feng: “You don’t take it out often?”
Wei Xiao was addicted to gaming. He basically wished he could spend 48

hours a day playing ranked games; how could he have time to walk his dog
outside?
Lu Feng: “Huskies are full of energy. If you don’t want him to wreck the
house, you should take him out to run five kilometers a day.”
Wei Xiao: “???”
Lu Feng: “Or eight kilometers.”
Wei Xiao was silent for three seconds, “No need, no need. With that amount
of effort, I might as well stew it and eat dog meat hotpot.”
Five kilometers, eight kilometers?
In the heart of a shut-in, even 100 meters was like the distance between
heaven and earth!
Lu Feng looked at him through the rearview mirror, “I can do it.”
Wei Xiao: “Ah?”

Lu Feng spoke casually, “There’s no difference between running by myself
or with a dog.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
What are you talking about? How can I ask you to run with my dog?
Yet at this time, the husky even let out a fascinated ‘Ao’.
Wei Xiao laughed dryly, “Cough, the FTW base is so big. You can consider
raising a dog or something.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao was worried that his next sentence would be ‘How about you
leave Soybean there?’.
Although he scolded this doggy son all day long, there was true love
between him and Soybean. He would cry if he didn’t have him and cry very
loudly at that!
“Oh, right.” Wei Xiao quickly changed the topic, “Has the list of names for
the training match been settled?”
He seemed to be asking casually, but it was something that Wei Xiao had on
his mind, was curious about, and really wanted to know.
Lu Feng: “It’s settled.”
Wei Xiao’s heart clenched, “I heard Old Bai say that you have your eye on a
top-lane player?”
Lu Feng held the steering wheel in a one-handed grip. He didn’t even blink,
“Yes.”
Wei Xiao stroked the dog’s fur, “Who is it? Is it from FTW’s second team?
Or is it someone who just got listed?”
The off season was also the transfer period. Glory had had mature team
management processes for many years now. After the global finals, the
players in the sixteen competition zones could consider whether or not they
wanted to list themselves based on their existing contracts. As long as they
were listed, other clubs could bid, and they would join the highest bidder. It
was considered a fair process.
Wei Xiao thought through all the top-lane players who were on the listing,
but he couldn’t think of who it could be.
A lot of data emperor and analysis emperor insiders had said that this year
was the year for the rise of the China competition zone, and it wasn’t an
unreasonable statement to make.
After one year of training, the batch of players that included Moonlit and
Eurostar had found their footing. There were also some amazing talents like
Asleep. Even Little Ning, who’d been signed by FTW at a high price, was a
talented player who could only be found by chance.
It was precisely because several seed teams had gradually already taken
shape that this listing period was relatively lackluster.
If the teams worked well together, then players wouldn’t be willing to leave
their team. Regarding money, it was more of a number; everyone paid more
attention to the results.
Winning the championship was like a big stone of pressure pressing down
in the hearts of countless Chinese contestants.
Not only for FTW. The China competition zone had 16 active teams, and
there wasn’t a single one who didn’t want redemption or want to regain
glory for their country!
With this in mind, Wei Xiao really didn’t feel that any of the listed players
were appropriate. In that case…
Who exactly was Lu Feng interested in?

Lu Feng spoke calmly, “Neither.”
Wei Xiao was startled, “A newcomer?!”
Wei Xiao was shocked, “Will that be okay? One Ning Zhehan is already
quite risky, will you guys be able to hold up with another one? Besides,
other than Little Ning, there weren’t any outstanding players in this year’s
youth training camp…”
FTW was going to overturn like this!
China’s competition zone was surrounded by tigers and wolves this year.
Polaris was on the rise, but FTW was planning to introduce two newcomers
with no competition experience at this time…
It was going to be a big deal!
So what if there was Lu Feng there to cover for them?
5v5 matches placed great importance on the entire team. In the professional
arena, the five people must be twisted together into a metal barrel. If any
gaps could be found, they would be pried open further and exploited by
their opponents until they were defeated.
Although FTW always did a round tour for the international championships,
for better or worse, they were still the domestic competition champions.
If they couldn’t even take the domestic championship this time…
As a die-hard loyal FTW fan, Wei Xiao’s dedicated professional heart

exploded.
“That’s too risky!” Wei Xiao’s voice had risen up slightly.
Lu Feng focused on driving. “He’s excellent.”

When he heard these words, not only did Wei Xiao’s heart explode, it also
collapsed, “How excellent are they?”
F*ck, exactly which newcomer was this that could actually get such a high
evaluation from Close?!
Lu Feng paused for a moment, then spoke steadily, “They have a strong
personal ability…”
Wei Xiao interrupted him, “Could they be better than…” He originally

wanted to say, could they be better than me, but when he thought about it,
those words didn’t seem right, and he hurriedly stopped himself. He
switched to, “Could they be better than you?”
Lu Feng laughed briefly, “Hard to say.”
Lu Feng: “He’s young and inexperienced, but his future is promising.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
The husky felt a sting of pain from having its fur pulled, “Arooo~”
Wei Xiao hurriedly let go and stroked its fur, but the fur in his heart had
already exploded in all directions!
“The new season is about to start. Is there enough time for him to build up
experience?”
Lu Feng: “The competition arena is the best coach.”
The implication beneath the words was that playing matches would increase
his experience and the entire team would accompany him to grow.
Wei Xiao’s heart, it was so sour. It even created little vinegar bubbles in his
words, “You really value him.”
Ahhhhh, who the hell was it?! He wanted to hammer him, wanted to smash
his entire hero pool!
He wouldn’t need to gain experience from playing in competitions. Wei

Xiao would first show him how cruel reality was!
“Mm.” Lu Feng looked at him in the rearview mirror. “He’s worth it.”
Wei Xiao was stunned, and the sourness in his heart stabbed him again.
Worth it.
He was worth it.
And he wasn’t worth it.
Wei Xiao hugged the husky. His voice was a little hoarse, “Stop moving
around!”
The well-behaved Soybean who was sitting properly, “Ao?”
It hadn’t been moving around, it was just that its father was holding it really
tightly!
Wei Xiao knew that he deserved it, but he still felt upset in his heart.
What did he have to be jealous of.
Back then, he’d been the one who didn’t take the opportunity. Back then,
Close had also valued him this much, but hadn’t he just run off without
saying a word?
Regardless of his personal ability, at least this new top-lane was someone
who Close felt was worth it.
At least it was someone who wouldn’t run off on the spot.
FTW base.
Tang Chen looked at the huge neck protector in front of him, and the
corners of his lips twitched.
Chen Feng: “Put it on, quickly!”
Tang Chen pulled it over his head resignedly and said, “I don’t look like I
have a bad neck now, I look like a paraplegic!”
Chen Feng: “Weren’t you the one who took the initiative to add drama.”
Tang Chen put on the neck guard, and his neck couldn’t move at all. “It’s
rare for Old Lu to be concerned. How could I refuse to help?”
Chen Feng frowned, “I’m not very sure about this. Can someone who is
pulled in with any means at our disposal actually be on the same page as us
in the end?”
Tang Chen: “You don’t need to worry about that. I feel that that kid loves
the game to his bones more than anyone else. As long as he returns to the
team, he’ll definitely be a valiant general for the team.”
Chen Feng paused for a moment and glanced towards this wooden block,
“Don’t you think that Close is too interested in Wei Xiao?”
Tang Chen struggled to adapt to the neck guard, “Don’t you know Old Lu?
He looks cold and indifferent, but in fact, his heart is softer than anyone
else. Back then…”
Chen Feng shifted his gaze and said angrily, “But he f*cking can’t tell good
from bad and ends up with white-eyed wolves!”
Tang Chen was more open minded, “Well, it’s already been so many years.
Haven’t we been doing well?”
Chen Feng’s liver hurt when he thought about it, “To hell with doing well.
It’s been three years. Have we gotten a championship? Have we gotten even
one?!”
Tang Chen: “Cough.”

Chen Feng got angrier the more he thought about it, “They’re all dogs, each
and every one of them. If they have the ability, then go and compete in the
individual competition as well. It’ll be strange if Close doesn’t smash their
dog heads open!”
These grudges were too complicated…
Tang Chen didn’t dare to answer and pretended that he’d been strangled by
the neck guard.
Bai Cai yawned as he came downstairs. He was confused for a moment

when he saw Tang Chen, “God Tang?”
Yue Wenle was also confused, “You’re…”
Ning Zhehan was still rather young and said whatever was on his mind,
“Brother Tang, were you in a car accident?!”
Tang Chen clunked granny grey on the head, “Stinky boy!”
Ning Zhehan squeaked, but he was still worried about him, “Be careful,
your neck…”
Tang Chen cleared his throat and tried out his poor acting skills, “It’s fine.
My cervical spondylosis is acting up; it’s an occupational disease and a
standard thing for e-sports players. Especially a retired one like me, if there
wasn’t something or the other, I’d be embarrassed to say that I played
professionally.”
It wasn’t a secret in the team that Tang Chen had a bad neck.
In particular, during the competition in 2020, Tang Chen had gotten sick
several times, suffering from major headaches. He forced himself to play
and performed badly, ending up tragically bashed by the haters.
Ning Zhehan opened his mouth and mentioned the big elephant in the room,
“Brother Tang, haven’t you been much better recently? How did it suddenly
become so serious?”
Tang Chen had been recovering for half a month, and it was indeed much
better. Now…
Wasn’t there a script to follow!
“Sigh.” Tang Chen told himself that he had to first deceive himself in order
to trick others and said realistically, “This disease can’t be cured, it’ll just
act up every now and then.”
Chen Feng went downstairs and glanced at him, “Will you be able to
participate in the training match later?”
He’d said that he wouldn’t follow the script, but his body was very honest
about cooperating.
Little Ning was actually very afraid of Coach Chen Feng.
In the China Glory circles, if Close was the great demon king, then Coach
Chen Feng was her majesty, the queen.
Newcomers admired the great demon king and feared Coach Chen Feng.
There was one reason for it.
The great demon king was untouchable and unreachable, but Coach Chen
Feng had a sharp tongue. Occasionally, when they reviewed the replays, he
could speak gently with a warm voice and still be able to make professional
players cry.
Ning Zhehan had experienced it before and was very scared of it.
Bai Cai had thick skin and dense flesh and had become immune to it long
ago. He looked left and right and savored it a little, “Indeed. With God
Tang’s neck like this, will he still be able to play in the training match?”
Tang Chen said helplessly, “There’s no other way. The team is short a top-
laner, and the training match is a rare opportunity. We can’t just postpone
it.”
Yue Wenle was unaware of the situation, “What, the new top-lane candidate
hasn’t been determined yet?”
Chen Feng looked outside, “Almost.”
Yue Wenle, “Then, is he not joining the training match?”
Tang Chen thought to himself: Whether he joins or not will depend on my

performance!
Who could’ve thought that the retired God Tang would switch careers and
become an actor?
Ning Zhehan was very curious and whispered quietly, “About that, I heard
that the captain wants to sign One Lamp Grandmaster?”
Yue Wenle, who’d immersed himself in training and hadn’t inquired about
worldly matters, “What?!”
Ning Zhehan vaguely knew about the grudge between God Le and the
Grandmaster and didn’t dare say more.
Bai Cai said, “Didn’t you look at Weibo? We’re just short of an official
announcement.”
Yu Wenle: “F*ck! That beast is coming to FTW? Damn, laozi…”
Bai Cai thought about it: Lao Wei, it was the right decision for you not to
play professionally. Not only is there a forest full of foreign enemies, even
your own nest is full of unresolved debts!
This was Wei Xiao’s first time at the FTW base, but he’d seen the
promotional film a long time ago. This base was just like a castle…
“F*ck! It’s so big!”

Sorry, he might’ve seen the promotional film, but the real visual impact still
hit hard.
The car drove all the way in, and they only got out of the car when they
arrived in front of the ‘castle’.
Wei Xiao leashed the husky and noticed Tang Chen with a large neck guard
around his neck with a glance.
“God Tang… You…” Were you in a car accident?
Tang Chen went all out, “Ah, I fell off my bike yesterday and damaged my
neck.”
Chen Feng: “……” Damned fool, can this be enough to trick Little Lunatic
Wei?
Tang Chen pushed on, “The worst part is, I still have to play training
matches when I’m injured like this.”
Wei Xiao was confused, “You’re playing in the training match?”
Chen Feng: “…………” It, it worked?
Tang Chen was extremely aggrieved, “How can I not? It’s a training match
that wasn’t easy to obtain. I can’t let everyone down.”
WeI Xiao was incredulous, “What about your new top-laner?!”
Tang Chen looked at him quietly.
Wei Xiao interpreted his gaze as full of grievance.
F*ck!
What kind of big name was this? They didn’t even come for a training
match?
Was this person that Close had taken a liking to an ancestor or a top-laner?!
Juurensha: WX you’re eating so much vinegar about yourself hahahaha.
And I love Tang Chen happy in his overacting. xiin: Tang Chen, you’ve
worked hard for the sake of the team… i love how they’re all kinda in on
the scheme, it’s so fun~
Ch23.1 - Laozi is the resentful
husband!
Wei Xiao’s mood was complicated. He felt aggrieved for Tang Chen’s sake
and felt even more aggrieved for Close.
He was a lofty number 1 in the world. Why did he have to be taken

advantage of by a newcomer!
Was Close so easy to deal with? He was supposed to be a cold, indifferent,

and merciless great demon king!
Then, Wei Xiao remembered the events from two years ago…
At the time, Close had already been a looming, high up mountain for
countless professional players.
Wei Xiao had entered the youth training camp because he’d watched the
live broadcast of his single player match in the world finals.
The knife stab from the thief that had turned the tables on the entire match,
had broken through the championship night and made Wei Xiao’s blood
boil!
In fact, he’d been playing Glory for a long time, but the level of the students
around him was just average. They would only hold onto him and call him
daddy, begging him to take them flying.
Winning was too easy, and Wei Xiao soon lost interest.
It wasn’t even as difficult as math problems. What was so fun about it?
Until he saw Close.

The flying thief who flew around looking for every possible opportunity,
the shadow thief’s light arcs that filled the skies, the spirit thief’s sixteen-hit
combo…
Countless extreme operations made Wei Xiao’s scalp go numb.
He’d stayed awake the entire night in the training camp and discovered that
it was very difficult for him to repeat Close’s operations.
Being unable to do it made it exciting!
At the time, there’d been a scout in the international servers, and Wei Xiao
had immediately agreed to go to the training camp.
When the youth training camp was over, he’d had his wish fulfilled and met
Close, then soloed with him like he’d wanted.
He’d lost for 48 hours, but that had only left Wei Xiao even more excited.
However…
Wei Xiao pushed back into his memories and found that Close was really
quite easy to talk to.
Just based on his foolish request, not only had Close agreed, he’d also
accompanied him and gone nuts for 48 hours.
Later, his sleepwalking had acted up again, and not only did Close not kick
him out of bed, he even allowed him to sleep on his arm all night long…
The more Wei Xiao went over things in his heart, the unhappier he grew.
The cold faced, cold hearted great demon king was actually soft on the
inside, and this had been discovered by other people.
F*ck!
Who the hell was this newcomer?!

Wei Xiao was concentrating on brewing vinegar, but his doggy son had
already started ‘chasing beauty’.
The husky howled and pounced towards Chen Feng.
Coach Chen Feng froze when he saw it coming.
Wei Xiao was tugged along behind it and came back to his senses,
“Soybean, behave!”
As a serious ‘face-con dog’, Soybean was now interested in Chen Feng and
aroo-arooed as it tried to go and ‘kiss’ him.
Chen Feng was gaping, “Hus-husky?”
Wei Xiao worked hard to stabilize Soybean’s mood and said, “Don’t be
scared, Brother Chen. It doesn’t bite, it’s just a little… overly intimate.”
Chen Feng had been called ‘her majesty the queen’ by his fans, not only
because of his sharp tongue, but also due to his face.
Why was the ‘Double Feng’ (Lu Feng, Chen Feng) CP so popular? It was
purely based on appearance.
One just had to look at the husky’s mesmerized expression to know what
Coach Chen Feng’s face was like!
Bai Cai went downstairs and was stupefied when he saw Soybean, “Old
Wei, it’s enough for you to come. Why are you even bringing your family?”
Wei Xiao’s tone wasn’t courteous, “You know how it behaves!”
Bai Cai was amused and explained it to everyone else, “Coach, don’t panic.
This is a real, genuine face-con dog. It won’t be able to move its legs when
it sees a good-looking person. When Old Wei went to the pet shop, he’d
originally just wanted to buy a cat. Yet as result, this husky jumped over
and clung to him without letting go. The owner of the store couldn’t do
anything about it and could only sell the dog at half price. Old Wei picked
up a bargain!”
Picked up a bargain?
Wei Xiao often suspected that he’d been cheated by the shopkeeper!
“Soybean, control yourself!”
Wei Xiao was about to lose his hold on this guy.
Bai Cai was familiar with Soybean and went over to scratch its forehead,
“Soybean, were you abducted and brought over by the great demon king?”
Soybean: “Ao?”
He had already looked at Brother Cai enough. He bumped against him in a

friendly manner before turning to launch himself at Chen Feng.
Bai Cai laughed as he scolded, “You’re a little bastard that abandons

friendship for a pretty face.”
He then glanced at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao didn’t receive his vague signals as he was busy pulling Soybean
back.
At this time, Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle had also come out.
Soybean looked at granny gray, then looked at the little white face and had
trouble deciding between them for a while.
Bai Cai was amused, “Brother Soybean, you’re really great. You even have
a back palace harem to choose from!”
Wei Xiao was going crazy, “Come and f*cking help me, laozi can’t hold
him back anymore!”
Bai Cai didn’t care. He found it hilarious and laughed as he watched the
show.
Soybean suddenly stopped struggling and pounced in the opposite direction.

Wei Xiao suddenly toppled forward due to inertia…
“Careful.” Wei Xiao was pulled back and prevented from falling over.
Soybean wasn’t concerned at all about how its owner was doing and
pounced over with a cry.
This was how Wei Xiao ended up pushed into the arms of the man behind
him by his own doggy son.
Lu Feng let out a muffled grunt as he supported both human and dog.
Wei Xiao was flustered and exasperated, “Soybean! If I don’t stew you
today, I’ll…”
“Be good.”
The low voice was clear and light against Wei Xiao’s ear.
Lu Feng’s left arm was at his waist, and his right hand stretched out from
behind him as he took the leash from Wei Xiao’s hand.
Wei Xiao’s body was as stiff as steel!
Lu Feng held down the restless dog, “Behave.”
Soybean the face-con dog really behaved and sat down honestly, its tongue
hanging out and looking as gentle and meek as a quail.
Bai Cai’s chin almost dropped to the ground. This was even more intense
than his little stories! They hadn’t even entered the base yet, but they’d
already started up a family of three!
He was convinced. Brother Cai’s pair of eyes could really see through too
much!
Wei Xiao turned around and saw Lu Feng.

Lu Feng had gone to park the car. “Don’t always be angry with it. It’ll still
be mischievous even if you lose your temper.”
Lu Feng released Wei Xiao and teased the husky, “Do you want to go play
in the garden?”
Husky: “Ao!”
Lu Feng: “I’ll take you there.”
Husky: “Aroo!”
Wei Xiao moved a few steps and arrived at Bai Cai’s side. He whispered,
“Your captain is so versatile, he even knows dog language.”
Bai Cai glanced at him, “That’s because it’s Soybean!”
If the dog didn’t belong to you, how could it have been allowed to step
through the gate of the base?!
Wei Xiao shook his head, “I really didn’t expect that Soybean and Close
would get along so well. Don’t they say that licking dogs will lick until they
have nothing left?”
Wei Xiao commented, “Soybean was really born as a winner of life.”
Bai Cai had a task to accomplish. “The training match is in the afternoon.
I’ll show you around.”
Wei Xiao was about to end up with a hole in his back from someone’s
staring and also wanted to leave, “Sure.”
Bai Cai let everyone know, then brought Wei Xiao with him and left.
As soon as Wei Xiao left, Ning Zhehan couldn’t help saying, “The
Grandmaster is different from what I imagined!” He was so young and so
good looking!
Yue Wenle’s teeth were itchy, “I’ll remember that face.”
Tang Chen found it funny, “Lele, tone it down a bit. The captain will come
and get you if you scare him off.”
Yue Wenle stared at Wei Xiao and said darkly, “Brother Tang, you don’t
understand. Beasts will never be scared away, they’ll only charge up in the
face of difficulties.”
From a certain perspective, Old Yue understood Wei Xiao very well.
Wei Xiao sidled over to Bai Cai and said in a low voice, “Is your God Le
fond of men?”
Bai Cai felt a headache coming on as soon as he heard him speak, “F*cking
wake up!”
Wei Xiao cleared his throat, “Look at that gaze he’s using on me. It’s really
warm, like love at first sight.”
Bai Cai: “He was hammered into crying by you when he was in the reserve
team. He turned from a Little Ning into an old pro; aren’t you clear about
how this situation is in your own damned heart?!”
At the time, Wei Xiao had already developed his habit of reviewing the
game after training. At the time, Bai Cai had been too naive and hadn’t
‘audited’ the video before directly forwarding it to the ‘bosses’.
Yue Wenle back then was like the current Ning Zhehan, pure, innocent, and
full of curiosity.
Although he’d been hammered into seclusion, he admired the Grandmaster

in his heart. He felt that his skill was inferior and that he still needed to
work hard.
The Grandmaster had sent him an after-sales video again. After watching
the first one, the simple and innocent Yue Wenle had been extremely
touched, his heart pounding with admiration. He felt that although he’d just
spent 10,000 yuan, he’d met a mentor and a friend, a very valuable thing.
With that in mind, he clicked on the second video.
He came face to face with Grandmaster’s personal show featuring his own
fancy moves, as well as a showcase of all the ways he’d lost face and ended
up on the floor.
The point was that the review video was only 30 minutes long while the
personal show lasted for an hour and a half!
Love turning into hate?
Turning from a fan to a hater?
These changes only required one and a half hours.
To hell with mentoring, to hell with friendship, this was an old beast that
had smeared him into the ground over and over again!
Lele, who’d experienced a social beating, grew up to become Old Yue. He

was black-hearted, and his hands were vicious on the court. Wei Xiao had
been indispensable in this process.
Today, Yue Wenle was seeing the Grandmaster with his own eyes. This
mood…
It was like a person who’d become successful in his career who went back
to his alma mater and saw the teaching director who had once chased after
him to beat him up.
This kind of love was deep, old, and unforgettable!
Wei Xiao sighed, “Your God Le’s psychological quality isn’t good enough,
hey. People have to look forward, not stare constantly at the past.”
Bai Cai laughed sarcastically and thought, those with bad psychological
quality are a dime a dozen. You can savor it slowly, properly, in full detail
when you come back.
“This is the training room.” Bai Cai opened the door to show Wei Xiao,
“There are three settings, individual special training, doubles training, and
five person, undifferentiated day and night training.”
Wei Xiao: “It really is a champion team. The atmosphere is rich and
powerful.”
This training room was very eye-catching. The equipment within was all
top-grade, and the keyboards and mice were all 20,000 to 30,000 yuan each.
Amazing!
Bai Cai deliberately caught his interest, but refused to show him more,
“This is the conference room, the library, the gym, the entertainment
room…”
They went down floor by floor. Wei Xiao was left speechless, “Old Bai,
you’re living in such a wealthy mansion. Why are you still so greedy for
money?”
Bai Cai snarked at him, “Is there anyone who would complain about having
too much money?”
Bai Cai was just about to ask who that fool was when Wei Xiao added,
“Look at me, I’ve saved up three million and don’t even know how I should
spend it.”
Bai Cai couldn’t hold back, “You fool!”
This guy’s life mission was really to pull aggro!
Wei Xiao corrected him, “It’s a fool who has three million in savings and no
interest in spending it.”
Bai Cai: “……………”
One of the biggest mistakes he’d made in his life was getting to know this
beast.
The two of them sniped back and forth, then Wei Xiao thought of the matter
that was weighing on his heart, “What’s the matter with your new top-lane?
Is he really so amazing that he won’t even come when invited to the
training match?”
Bai Cai finally found an opportunity to bring the topic back to the main
point, “He’s pretty amazing.”
Wei Xiao was worried and upset. “Close likes him that much?”
The corner of Bai Cai’s lips twitched. “I can’t give an evaluation on the
Captain’s affairs.”
Wei Xiao couldn’t suppress the sour taste to his words, “I looked through
the list of all newcomers in the past two years and didn’t find anyone who
was worthy of Close’s attention.”
Bai Cai thought to himself: Why don’t you go beyond the past two years?
Of course, he wouldn’t say it. It wasn’t time yet.
“Tone it down a bit.” Bai Cai disdained him, “That vinegar smell is going to
reach the heavens!”
Wei Xiao choked.
Bai Cai: “Do you know what you look like now? A resentful woman.”
Wei Xiao would rather lose the troops than lose the fight, “How can laozi
be a resentful wife?!”
Bai Cai: “Look at your current appearance, you’re just like a typical
boudoir girl…”
He hadn’t finished speaking when Wei Xiao immediately explained
himself, “Laozi is the resentful husband!”
Bai Cai: “???”
Wei Xiao clarified, “Complaining husband, get it? Husband, not wife!”
F*ck, was that your key point?!
Brother Cai gave up!
What made Bai Cai stumble and almost fall on the way to the elevator was
that Wei Xiao even sighed and said very frankly, “Old Bai, how come that
damned newcomer is so lucky? I’m so jealous.”
Really. The words that Wei Xiao said were things that Bai Cai didn’t even
dare use in his short stories!
If he wrote them, the fans would probably scold him for bullshitting, for
being unrealistic, for being false!
However, it was all real! So real that he wanted to block his ears and turn
deaf!
xiin: WX, you’re really seasoning yourself with your own vinegar…
Ch23.2 - Was that damned new guy
finally willing to come out?
The training match was in the afternoon. As they neared the afternoon,
everyone queued for a match to warm up.
Wei Xiao was also eager and wanted to try, but he was only here to watch
the match and could only stare on with wide eyes.
Tang Chen dutifully put his poor acting skills to use again, “Ouch…” He
glanced at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao received the message and helped him curse, “That spicy chicken
newcomer!”
Tang Chen continued to look at him, “Ouch, ow…”
Wei Xiao continued to help him scold the guy, “He’s a lazy bastard that
doesn’t even come for training matches!”
Tang Chen was having difficulty continuing the act, “Owwww…”
Wei Xiao was very distressed for God Tang’s sake, “F*ck, what a dick!”
What was fortunate was that Wei Xiao had only cursed this guy in his heart.
Chen Feng couldn’t watch on anymore. Could that even be called acting?
This was called an uncouth show!
He glanced at Tang Chen, “Are you constipated?”
Tang Chen: “???”

Chen Feng: “If your neck isn’t broken, then just deal with it.”
Tang Chen looked at Wei Xiao again. He was practically about to start
crying.
Wei Xiao couldn’t help himself and started, “How about…”
Everyone looked at him abruptly, their gazes all pinned on the same thing.
Except for Lu Feng––he was debugging his keyboard, his long fingers
tapping lightly on the keys.
Wei Xiao: “I’ll go find a backrest for God Tang?”
Everyone in the training room: “………………”
Tang Chen: “F*ck!”
Wei Xiao: “Ah?”
Tang Chen hurriedly added, “I mean, thank you! But there’s no need. I’m
fine, I can do it, it’s really no problem.”
Looking at this forced smile and listening to the grievance in his voice…
Heartache!
Those who knew the truth and those who didn’t all felt heartache and
distress!
God Tang acknowledged one thing. He was only suited to playing games in
this life. As for acting and so on, he should leave it to the professionals!
When the time came, L&P built a custom room and invited FTW.
Wei Xiao sat beside Chen Feng and watched the projection from a center
seat.
Both teams entered the room, and Wei Xiao saw L&P’s line up.
As the runner ups for last year’s championship, L&P was a powerful team
with a well-deserved reputation.
The five members of the team were all celebrities on the world’s personal
ranking list.
Gary was L&P’s strongest player, but he wasn’t L&P’s team captain.
It was funny. As a North American team, the captain of L&P was a Chinese
person––
Yuan Ze.
He was once the most invincible top-lane in FTW, guarding the canyon
with a double-handed sword. If he guarded the pass, 10,000 troops still
wouldn’t be enough to get through––Marshal!
He was also the senior who’d taken care of Close the most, brought him
into Glory, won the world cup with him, and then left him at the peak of
their glory.
The next year, Yuan Ze debuted as a L&P player and sent his old employer
FTW into a round trip for the finals.
It was also in that year that he gave up his position in the singles
competition when he learned that Lu Feng was participating and never
signed up for the singles competition ever again.
As the singles participant for L&P, Gary fell beneath Lu Feng’s blade again
and again.
However, FTW couldn’t win against L&P.
Lu Feng also didn’t have a chance to win against Yuan Ze.
This kindness, gratitude, grievance, and resentment was something that

everyone in Glory knew. Wei Xiao was even able to recite it all from
memory.
He looked at the IDs and frowned, “Yuan Ze isn’t playing?”
Chen Feng sneered, “Not sending up their second team is already

considered as showing respect for us.”
He might be angry, but the gap between FTW and L&P was really quite
significant. Even if they really arranged for their second team to play, it
would still be hard to say if FTW would win or not.
On the L&P side, everyone other than their top-lane was from their starting
line-up. Especially when it came to Gary, he immediately became excited
when he saw Lu Feng and typed crazily in his crippled Chinese, “Close,
wait for me to explode you!”
Lu Feng ignored him.
Old G amused himself, “Ten, I’m going to explode you ten times!”
Chen Feng was really disdainful, “Has Gary changed Chinese teachers? He
now sounds like a non-mainstream speaker rather than a northerner?”
Wei Xiao: “It’s not non-mainstream.”
Chen Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “Think about it, think carefully, this is clearly a blind imitation.”
“………………”
Looking at this Wei Xiaoxiao who was so clear on how to kill culture, Chen
Feng was very worried!
Because it was a user-defined battle, the two teams soon entered the BP
interface.
The so-called BP, was also an important part of a MOBA game.

Glory had 11 heroes and over 100 talents. Players had a myriad of choices
and countless strategies available to them.
BP was the abbreviation of Ban and Pick. The former meant to disallow a
hero from the match, and the latter was where heroes were selected. As the
name suggested, the BP stage was a stage where heroes were disabled and
chosen.
Although they hadn’t yet officially entered the canyon, the sparks of
warfare were already ignited.
Banning was a whole area of study, and choosing heroes was an even
bigger school of study.
If banning was used well, they could restrain the other side during their
lineup setup. If successful, then one would have already won half the game.
If they didn’t use such tactics for a MOBA game, then they weren’t even
qualified to play the game.
Wei Xiao stared at the projection, his heart cold.
L&P played really dirty. They had six ban spots, and they were all allocated
to Close. Almost all of the heroes Lu Feng was most powerful with were
banned.
Lu Feng’s hero pool was very deep. As a champion of the singles

competition, there wasn’t anything he couldn’t use.
However, being able to use it didn’t mean it could just be used like that.
The hero lineup, restraint, and what was strong in the current version all
needed to be considered in 5v5 matches…
In short, there were too many variables to consider. This was why there
were so many usable jungler heroes.
Even if Lu Feng could use other heroes after his core heroes were banned, it
still meant that FTW’s core line up had been infinitely compressed.
L&P’s BP setup had really attacked FTW.
If Lu Feng was suppressed, then FTW would have already lost halfway.
This sentence was one that had circulated around the international arena for
a long time.
Wei Xiao was angry watching it, but he didn’t do anything.
FTW took Lu Feng as their absolute core. As their core, he could only be
oppressed like this.
There were also teams in domestic competitions who dealt with FTW like
this, but the players had different ability levels, and it was impossible for a
domestic team without a top-class player to target Lu Feng continuously.
As long as they couldn’t target Lu Feng to death, FTW would still have a
chance to win the game.
As the head coach, Chen Feng had absolute say during the BP segment.
He wouldn’t force anyone to pick up a certain hero, but as a spectator, he

could also see the situation on the other side.
This was very important, since he could remind the players in the game to
make more accurate decisions.
After ten minutes of back and forth, the line up was determined.
Although Lu Feng had been suppressed, Old G didn’t have it easy, either.
Since they were all aiming at junglers, then they would target them until the
end. The remaining ‘old, weak, sick and disabled’ hero options would all
rely on their personal strength!
After the match began, Wei Xiao forgot to even blink.
Professional players would never perform the same kind of brainless rush
that casual passerby players did. Every step and every action was well
thought out in advance.
The support Bai Cai was responsible for opening up the field of vision and
feeling out the whereabouts of the other team.
The mid-lane Ning Zhehan stepped cautiously and focused on leveling

while keeping an eye on the dynamics between the rest of the team.
The bottom lane’s Yue Wenle looked very relaxed, but in fact, his position
was the riskiest because junglers liked to target the ADC who were weak in
the early stages and became crazy in the later stages.
The jungler was Lu Feng. He could finish off the jungler creeps very
quickly and didn’t waste a single second of his time while seizing the
resources in the canyon.
The top-lane…
Wei Xiao was a little worried about Tang Chen. His neck situation was so
serious, yet he had to concentrate and slowly grind down the health of his
opponent top-laner. He was under great pressure.
Although L&P’s top-lane wasn’t Yuan Ze, this person’s operations level
was also top notch, and his skills were slightly superior to even the
experienced Tang Chen as they fought in the same lane.
Wei Xiao vaguely sensed that the situation wasn’t good. This top-laner
might make a breakthrough, and as it turned out…
In the first 15 minutes, the two sides had a lot of back and forth, and
nobody held any big advantage. At 10:45, Tang Chen was solo killed by
L&P’s top-laner, leaving a sudden gap in their defenses. L&P was like a
wolf pack that had scented blood as they flew over and aced FTW in a 5v4
fight!
Wei Xiao clenched his fists tight. He really wished he could go up and play!
F*ck! They were such bullies!
God Tang was retired, but they were still abusing him so cruelly. It was too
aggravating!
L&P was a team with very good operations. If they were given an
opportunity to snowball, then one just had to wait for the avalanche!
40 minutes later, FTW was powerless and lost the match.
The training room fell into deep silence. Ning Zhehan’s experience was
limited. He clutched at the mouse tightly, and his face was pale.
Yue Wenle also stared fixedly at the screen.
Chen Feng looked over, “Not bad. You guys managed to hold on for 40
minutes.”
Ning Zhehan was ashamed, “I made too many mistakes and was cut to
death by Gary.”
In the last group fight, Ning Zhehan had died too early and hadn’t played
out the DPS he should have output.
However, Lu Feng had also killed L&P’s mage, so the other side had also
been lacking a major DPS dealer.
Tang Chen wasn’t acting this time. He spoke sincerely, “I’m old and can’t
keep up.”
FTW’s lineup this time favored the later stages. If they’d been able to hold
on for another five minutes, it would have been hard to say who would win
and lose.
Unfortunately…
Chen Feng looked at him, “Still alright?”
Tang Chen’s neck really did hurt a little. He rubbed his temples, “What can
we do if I’m not?”
Wei Xiao was to the side, his heart clenching fiercely. His hand was
clenched even more tightly, but what could he do? He couldn’t do anything!
Chen Feng glanced at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng took off his headset. “Change people.”
Wei Xiao turned his head sharply to look at him.
Was that damned new guy finally willing to come out?
Who could’ve known that Lu Feng’s gaze would shift to him. Their eyes
met, and Wei Xiao’s heart thumped hard.
Lu Feng: “Come play?”
Wei Xiao’s eyes opened wide, “Me?”
He pointed at himself.
The room became even quieter. It was even quieter than it had been when
they just lost the game earlier!
It was a very big training room, but it seemed that only the sound of Wei
Xiao’s breathing was left.
Lu Feng looked at him, “L&P is very strong. Want to try?”
Wei Xiao was tempted as soon as this remark came out!
L&P was really very strong.
All five people were very strong. Especially this substitute top-lane that
pressured God Tang…
Wei Xiao was uncertain, “Can I?”
Tang Chen couldn’t help himself, “F*ck, if you can’t, who can?! Hurry up
and get over here, laozi’s neck is about to break!”
To hell with putting on an act, just drive the kid over. That was the real way
to do it!
Wei Xiao, who’d just been pressed into the e-sports chair by the ‘seriously
injured’ Tang Chen was still a little confused.
Tang Chen: “Hurry, log in to your account.”
Wei Xiao: “Oh…”
He hadn’t reacted yet. Why did he need to switch accounts? Couldn’t he

just use Tang Chen’s?
On the L&P side, the non-mainstream Old G began to yak on again, “Why’s
there a change- who ix Professor?”
This Martian text made Wei Xiao’s eyes ache. He touched the keyboard and
typed out two words to calm himself down.
And then…
The FTW training room became even more f*cking quiet!
Inside the battle room chat box––
Gary: “Why’s there a change- who ix Professor?”
Professor: “Your daddy.”
Juurensha: Finally forced WX to play! And yesss for face-con Soybean

(he’s going to love living here, isn’t he) apricot: why does this novel have
so many good lines T.T xiin: YES FINALLY
Ch24 - They wanted to follow him
and cooperate with him.
There was a puff of sound as Bai Cai laughed out loud.
This was indeed the beast. Two years ago, Brother Cai, who’d fought with
him from north to south was now filled with all sorts of emotions––
Wei Xiao was someone who was crazy and wanton, but that didn’t affect
his strength.
It wasn’t a big deal to be arrogant. What made it so irritating was that this
person had the skills to back up his arrogance!
Gary was in a daze for two seconds, “???”
Wei Xiao’s mood calmed down and he typed out another few words, “Your
dad.”
This time, it wasn’t just Bai Cai, even Ning Zhehan was amused into
laughter.
Tang Chen didn’t concern himself acting disabled anymore. He patted Wei
Xiao’s shoulder, “Little brat, you’re pretty good!”
He really had some damned skills. It wasn’t fun enough to just use Chinese
to provoke Old G, he even worried that he wouldn’t understand and
switched to English. Badass!
The corner of Lu Feng’s lips curved. “Start.”
Chen Feng rubbed his forehead. He suspected that he’d have to rely on
EVE (painkillers) to survive. When Little Lunatic Wei joined the team, his
migraines might become incurable.
Gary was a little confused, but they’d unfortunately already entered the BP
interface, and he couldn’t say anything else.
The atmosphere here at FTW was different from before.
Although Chen Feng had a headache, he had to admit that Wei Xiao was
born with an ability to inspire everyone.
Although they were ‘faced with the brink of death’ for this match, the two
words Wei Xiao had typed out had swept away the team’s depressed mood.
If ordinary people encountered this kind of situation, how could they trash
talk? They wouldn’t even know where to put their left and right hands, but
this boy…
His heart was so big that nobody could match up to it!
Chen Feng exhaled softly and asked Wei Xiao, “Can you use divine
warrior?”
This was a relatively all-purpose top-lane hero. It was also relatively

powerful in the current version of the game.
Wei Xiao: “Not a problem.”
Lu Feng didn’t say anything. He was continued to be targeted like crazy by

L&P and selected an engineer without significant DPS to play in the jungle.
The hero selection that came after didn’t hold much suspense. It was just
that L&P’s jungler hesitated for a while before selecting a hero. It was
estimated that Old G had been a little annoyed by Wei Xiao’s trash talk and
wanted to find a way to get back at him.
Finally, Old G took the devil thief that tended towards DPS. It was clear
that he wanted to go wild.
This custom training room was set up for training matches between
professional players and made available by the game organizers. After
entering, everything was the same as it would be in a real competition
arena. It was impossible for both sides to talk to each other during the
match, and there were just calm operations, hot-blooded fights, and if they
wanted to speak, it was limited to communication within their own team.
Lu Feng had always been the team commander. He didn’t say much, but
every sentence was precise, “Bai Cai, follow the bottom lane.”
Bai Cai: “’Kay.”
After Lu Feng finished killing the first jungle creep, he said to Wei Xiao,
“I’m coming to gank the top-lane in a bit.”
Wei Xiao was in the top lane and was currently fighting for troops with the
opposing top-laner, “Sure, this kid’s a little caught up in it.”
He’d just finished speaking when he aimed and hit the opposite top-laner,
shaving off a segment of his health.
The top-laner was a little dazed. It was obvious that he hadn’t expected this
Professor to have this level of detailed operations.
Tang Chen could be considered a well-known top-laner in China. The

substitute’s ego was a little inflated from being able to pressure him down,
and he felt that this new Professor was just a new king with a runaway
mouth.
Who could’ve guessed…
First Blood!
When the system prompt came out, even Chen Feng was stunned.
Wei Xiao had killed… Gary!
Far away in L&P’s base in North America, Gary cursed. “Fuck!”

In one corner of the training room, the black haired man sitting on the sofa
stared at the screen, “Not bad, it seems that Close has found a treasure.”
The operations just now had been really eye-catching.
Wei Xiao and L&P’s top-laner had been fighting very fiercely in their lane.
At first glance, he seemed impulsive and reckless, his aura full of eagerness
to play and full of flaws.
Old G who’d been provoked at the start of the game had long made up his
mind to gank Wei Xiao until he collapsed, so he’d come up to the top lane
after clearing the first wave of jungle creeps.
Who could’ve guessed…
Wei Xiao’s attacks might be fierce and reckless, but his sense of smell was
extremely keen.
Old G had just crouched in the grass to ambush him when Wei Xiao
pretended to move forward, then bypassed L&P’s top-laner with a flash to
attack Gary directly!
In Glory, there was a benign relationship of restraint between heroes. For

example, the junglers threatened the c-positions, while the top-lane heroes
could suppress the junglers.
Wei Xiao’s surprise attack had caught Old G off-guard.
The devil thief was incredibly fragile in the early stages. When he was
smashed by a set of skills from the divine warrior, he didn’t even have a
chance to react before he exploded on the spot!
Wei Xiao: “Close, come quickly, the kills are about to fly away!”
Lu Feng showed himself the moment that Old G fell to the ground, taking
away the life of the L&P’s top-laner who had just been about to dodge
behind the tower.
Six minutes into the start of the game, FTW took down two heads!
A great advantage!
Wei Xiao smiled, “This son is unfilial, he’s always thinking of crouching in
the grass and attacking his father!”
It was fortunate that L&P couldn’t hear their conversation. Otherwise, Old
G’s state of mind would explode, and he would try to fight to the bitter end
with Wei Xiao for the entire game.
Although it was true that Old G had indeed gotten a little caught up in the
game.
Chen Feng looked on coldly and had to admire Close’s judgement.
Wei Xiao was really a talented player who could only be encountered by
luck and couldn’t be found no matter how hard you tried.
The upper level of his personal ability was extremely high. What’s more, he
had this innate centripetal force.
In a team game, no matter how fierce a person was, it was still difficult to
clap with one hand.
However, if there was a ‘sun’ in the game, then the momentum of the team
would be very different.
E-sports tested the quality of the players. Quality wasn’t just based on their
operations and understanding of the game, and was even more focused on
their performance in a team.
Integration, overall command, cooperation, and leadership.
Not a single one of these could be omitted.
An excellent commander didn’t only have command of the team; they were
also able to integrate seamlessly into the team and leave no gaps.
If they could build a team where all five people were commanders, then this
team would be a true tightly-knit team, an iron barrel that nobody could
break!
Wei Xiao had the ability to easily mobilize the team’s emotions.
His innate passion and fighting intent could easily affect others.
Not to mention the teammates who were fighting with him, even the
bystander Chen Feng could feel it.
They wanted to follow him and cooperate with him.
Their front was ever triumphant!
Fifty minutes later, FTW pushed their way up towards L&P’s territory.
They managed to cut down everyone beneath their knives and win the game
despite the other side’s fierce, angry resistance!
Victory!
Ning Zhehan shouted out in excitement, “We won!”
They won!
They’d actually won against the second place in last year’s global finals!
If news of this was leaked out, the entire Chinese Glory circle would
explode!
It had to be known that in the past two years, two full years, the two seed
teams from the China competition zone hadn’t even made it to finalists
competition, let alone the actual finals!
But now, they’d just won against the runner-up in the global finals!
Even if it was just a training match, even if L&P’s ace Yuan Ze hadn’t
played… still, they’d won!
Wei Xiao was in a great mood. Thinking about how he also had three hours
of solo, his mood became even better. “Isn’t it just a mere training match?
Let’s do it again.”
What was called blood boiling? This was it.
Ning Zhehan’s cheeks were flushed red, “Let’s go, again!”
People needed to have confidence. Once they had confidence, they could
give full play to 200% of their ability.
Chen Feng poured a bucket of cold water over them, “L&P has switched
people.”
The previous substitute had gone off, and the new ID was L&P.Marshal.
Marshal was ‘Yuan Shuai’ in Chinese.
L&P’s ‘Marshal’ was also once FTW’s ‘Marshal’, the man with a well-
deserved title as the God of the Top-lane, Yuan Ze!
Tang Chen’s eyes were full of a fierce light, “F*ck, this dog Yuan Ze has no
good intentions!”
For him to go up on stage now was to suppress Wei Xiao’s momentum. To

put it more bluntly, his goal was to hammer Wei Xiao into seclusion!
This old thing was really evil!
Chen Feng glanced at Lu Feng, then looked at Wei Xiao, “He’ll target you
like crazy.”
Wei Xiao stretched his fingers, “Nothing better than that.”
Lu Feng: “Start.”
His tone was relaxed and not worried at all.
Chen Feng paused for a moment and didn’t say anything else.
As Yuan Ze’s former teammate, he understood Yuan Ze’s bad habits all too
well.
Yuan Ze was the singles champion of 2017.
At the time, FTW’s goal had been to collect all three championship crowns
into their bag and refuse to let go of a single one of them.
Only one person per team could participate in the singles competition. At
the time, Close had only just joined the team and was still inexperienced.
The coaching team had rejected him for the position since the remaining
four people in the team, including their support position, had the ability to
win the singles.
Unfortunately, only one person could participate. At the time, everyone in

the circle had said that watching the immortals fight in FTW would be more
interesting to watch than the global singles finals!
It had really been a fight between gods and immortals. Yuan Ze was
ultimately the one to represent the whole team.
And he’d won the singles title without any suspense.
It was difficult to measure how strong Yuan Ze’s strength was now, because
he had never participated in the singles competition since then.
However, one thing was certain. He was at least as good as Lu Feng.
The Wei Xiao who was still young now was definitely not a match for him.
Facts proved this to be true.
After Yuan Ze came up, L&P’s BP was much more casual. They didn’t aim
at Lu Feng very much and instead went through the BP as usual, giving
FTW many opportunities.
Chen Feng wasn’t polite either. He took three heroes that were strong in the
current version of the game, and also targeted Yuan Ze with them while he
was at it.
From a hero selection perspective, Yuan Ze’s blade gunner was weaker than
Wei Xiao’s devil warrior.
However, even from the start of the game, Yuan Ze began to push his way
down the top lane like crazy, without a care for the devil warrior.
Wei Xiao tried to attack him several times, but Yuan Ze was as slippery as a
fish. Not only did he not miss a single soldier, he also didn’t lose any
health.
This was a huge difference in strength. It was not only a difference in

personal technique, but also in experience.
Chen Feng let out a sigh. He could already foresee the ending.
As Tang Chen had said before the start of the game, Yuan Ze had come to
target Wei Xiao.
Gary didn’t provide much support to the top lane for most of the game.
Instead, he frantically pressured the middle and bottom lanes so that Lu
Feng had no choice but to support the rest of the team and couldn’t go up to
the top lane.
There was only Yuan Ze and Wei Xiao in the top lane.
In the early stage, Wei Xiao was unable to suppress the blade gunner, and in
the later stages, he could only be passively beaten up.
Twenty minutes later.
Marshal kills Professor!
…………
Previously, Gary had said that he wanted to kill Lu Feng 10 times. In this
match, Yuan Ze killed Wei Xiao 10 times.
Chen Feng’s heart was chilly. He knew that Wei Xiao’s heart was big, but
he’d encountered this old dog Yuan Ze before joining the team…
Professor kills Marshal!
Tang Chen exclaimed, “F*ck! This little kid can really do it!”
Chen Feng was stunned and looked inconceivably at the screen.
Wei Xiao had single-handedly killed Yuan Ze?
He’d been abused and killed 10 times. How could he actually manage to
fight back?
Unfortunately, FTW was already on the downtrend. Not only had Wei Xiao
been suppressed, but both Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle had also been
overwhelmed.
Even if Lu Feng could contain Gary, it was still difficult to hold down the
fort.
Defeat!
FTW lost the last training match.
The game was over, but the customized battle room hadn’t been closed yet.
A line of text came out on the chat box.
Marshal: “The child on the opposite side is very good. Would you like to
come to L&P?”
Tang Chen was enraged, “Can this old animal Yuan Ze be any more
shameless?”
Wei Xiao typed expressionlessly, “Sure.”

Chen Feng, Tang Chen, Ning Zhehan, Yue Wenle: “???”
Bai Cai was very calm: Oh, it’s coming…
Far away in North America, L&P’s people were also confused.
Wei Xiao finished his words, “I would like to ask if L&P is short on
explosives. I’ll take some along with me and guarantee that you guys are
sent flying on the spot.”
Juurensha: Oh boy WX, your mouth. xiin: i love Bai Cai’s zen. he’s seen it
all now.
Ch25 - Why do you think I’m here?
Isn’t it all for the sake of Close’s~
One sentence was enough to make the people in FTW laugh.
Even Ning Zhehan, who’d felt upset and guilty about losing the game,
regained his equilibrium.
The chat box was quiet for two seconds…
Yuan Ze typed, “Interesting. I like you.”
Wei Xiao’s fingers were flying, “There are enough people who like daddy
to encircle the earth three times, but I can’t acknowledge so many sons.”
The onlooker Little Ning sucked in a breath: The opposite side was the
most powerful top-laner and a legend in the world of Glory, yet you still
dare to provoke him. Grandmaster, you’re amazing!
Yuan Ze sent over a laughing emoticon, but his words weren’t directed at
Wei Xiao:
“Close, where did you find this treasure? Isn’t he so cute?”
The last person who’d said that the Grandmaster was cute had already been
sent off into seclusion. Wei Xiao was just about to start…
Lu Feng disbanded the room.
Close had been the one who built the custom room. As soon as he clicked
on disband, everyone exited the room.
Wei Xiao: “!”

He lifted up his head and looked at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng’s aura was cold and indifferent, making it difficult for others to see
what he was feeling.
Wei Xiao was unreconciled, “The words I just typed hadn’t even been sent
out yet…”
Running off after antagonizing the other party was more his style.
This kind of feeling of being defeated without a fight really wasn’t cool!
Lu Feng glanced at him, “There’s no need to waste time with pointless

people.”
It was really true that Close and Marshal didn’t get along!
Wei Xiao wanted to say more, but then he heard Lu Feng ask lightly, “Isn’t
it better to spend the time soloing with me?”
Wei Xiao: “!!!”
To hell with being unreconciled, to hell with Marshal, Wei Xiao’s eyes and
heart were full of Close!
FTW had won a training match, so he could go and solo with Lu Feng for
three hours!
F*ck! Wei Xiao’s scalp went numb at the thought of this!
Chen Feng knocked on the table and cooled down Little Lunatic Wei’s
mood, “Nobody is going anywhere. We’ll review the matches while they’re
still fresh.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were burning with passion. That was fine; good things
should be saved for last. He’d been waiting for two years, and this brief
amount of time wouldn’t make a difference. Besides, he also wanted to see
the previous matches.
Vision and senses were limited when one was immersed in the game. More
problems could be seen when they jumped back out and went through the
recap.
He wanted to see the gap between himself and Yuan Ze.
Antagonizing him was one thing, but disdaining him was something else;
Marshal’s strength couldn’t be underestimated. If there was a chance, Wei
Xiao still wanted to fight against him again.
Of course….
He, who wasn’t playing professionally, was very unlikely to match up with
Yuan Ze.
Even if he really had enough dog shit luck to match up with him, it
wouldn’t have much significance. There wasn’t the same level of
professional tension and stimulation in a casual passerby game.
Chen Feng had prepared the video a long time ago and had already clicked
to start the replay.
He originally hadn’t planned to do the replay now out of consideration for

the players’ mood.
Going through the game on the spot after being hammered into seclusion
generally didn’t have a good effect.
Players hadn’t yet emerged from their sense of loss, and it was difficult to
look at the replay objectively. They may not be able to face their own
mistakes or handle reviewing each other’s top plays. To sum it up, their
mentality was unbalanced, and a review usually ended up as a waste of
time.
Chen Feng didn’t concern himself about these things today.
Although he was very worried about Wei Xiao, Chen Feng had to admit that
this kid was really very ‘gifted’.
Under Marshal’’s overwhelming pressure that was as heavy as a high
mountain, not only did Wei Xiao show no signs of losing his composure, he
even talked trash and antagonized the other party. His heart was really big!
His few refreshing words had irritated Yuan Ze into not knowing whether to
laugh or cry, and it had also pushed up FTW’s mood.
Especially for newcomers like Ning Zhehan, whose emotions were the most
likely to fluctuate.
His depression would come on quickly, but his happiness would also light
up quickly.
With a trash talk machine like Wei Xiao around, Little Ning probably
wouldn’t need a psychological counselor…
Since the entire team was in a good mood, Chen Feng was ready to strike
while the iron was hot and start the recap process.
He played back the third match first, the one that Yuan Ze had participated
in.
This match was their worst game, but it was the most representative of their
strength. After all, an L&P with Marshal in it was the real L&P.
This powerful team hadn’t shown their real strength during the training
match, but the real distance in strength between them and FTW could still
be felt.
Going over a replay wasn’t an easy task. A match might only last for 50
minutes, but the replay could often last as long as five hours.
The replay needed to be viewed from multiple perspectives. For example,

the global perspective versus the perspective from each lane. When it came
to specific details, they would play it back multiple times and even go over
it in slow mode.
Chen Feng had been a coach for many years, and his vision was extremely
sharp. Even though he hadn’t watched the video replay over again, he could
still tell where the focus of this match was.
The biggest short board in the third match had been Ning Zhehan, followed
by Yue Wenle.
These two c-positions (core DPS dealers) had been pressured too hard by
L&P, particularly Ning Zhehan. As the middle laner, they would lose almost
a third of the control over the jungle area on their own side once he was
under pressure. Fortunately, Lu Feng was the jungler. If it had been anyone
else, even if it was the opposing Gary, they would probably have been
ganked until they exploded.
Yue Wenle’s side had barely been able to hold on, but as a DPS that was
supposed to deal heavy damage in the later stages, he’d been unable to
defeat the other side’s marksman even once. They hadn’t just lost some of
their lane soldiers, but had also allowed their opponent to become stronger
earlier. After a team battle where L&P had made no mistakes, FTW slowly
fell behind step by step.
On the support side, Chen Feng didn’t say much.
This didn’t mean that Bai Cai had been amazing, but that he’d been too
mediocre.
This was Brother Cai’s problem. He didn’t pull people ahead, but he also
didn’t drag them back. There was always the feeling that he hadn’t given it
his all, but he couldn’t really be blamed for not making mistakes.
One commentator had said it brilliantly––God Bai was missing a soul.
He was very strong. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been brought over by

FTW, but he could be stronger. However, he’d never play up to his full
strength.
Finally, Chen Feng talked about Wei Xiao.
He paused for a moment, “Excellent.”

It was only one word, but coming from the sharp tongued and poisonous
Chen Feng, it was enough to get onto the hot search.
Those who’d been given this evaluation by Chen Feng had all become
pillars of the China competition zone.
For example, the most recent one was Asleep.
Sleep God had made his debut in 2020 and led his team to the global finals
in the same year. The team 3U was very promising, and they’d been
expected to advance to the knockout stages.
Unfortunately, 3U was unlucky and met the European champion team in the
finalists round. They’d been beaten bloody and sent back to China.
Although they’d lost, Asleep’s performance had still been very eye-
catching. He and his vice-captain had even rushed into the semi-finals for
the doubles competition.
In the end, they’d only won third place, but he was still the best player of
the new generation.
At the time, someone had gone through previous recordings of Chen Feng’s
live stream videos and created an expression pack.
Coach Chen Feng’s beautiful face had almost no dead angles, and his
expression when he said ‘Excellent’ was extremely cold and striking. It had
instantly become popular in the Glory circle and become a favorite in
everyone’s expression pack storage.
Now, Chen Feng was using this word for Wei Xiao.
Although he’d been killed 10 times by Yuan Ze, Wei Xiao had done
everything he could.
He’d held Yuan Ze in check, even if it meant using up his own life.
Finally, he’d even found a chance to kill Yuan Ze.

Being able to keep his opponent in check in the top lane already qualified
him. If he could suppress the other person or even tie up two people, it was
considered very good.
However, the top-laner that Wei Xiao had faced wasn’t an ordinary
professional player. He was a top-laner who’d been pushed into the Temple
that showcased the strongest in Glory.
It was already amazing for Wei Xiao to achieve this much.
FTW was going over the replay seriously, and in North America, L&P was
also doing the same.
The match they went over first was the second match where they’d lost.
The black haired man stared unblinkingly at the screen, then laughed low
after a long time, “This little friend is really powerful.”
Gary was sour, “I don’t see it.”
Yuan Ze: “The divine warrior isn’t one of his main heroes.”
Gary made a sound of disdain, “How can he even go in the top lane if the
divine warrior isn’t one of his main heroes?”
This was one of the heroes that every top lane player must be good at,
because the play rate was really too high, and it was impossible for them
not to have practiced it.
Yuan Ze laughed slightly, and light flashed deep in his eyes, “He’s a
jungler.”
Gary: “Ah?”
L&P’s coach frowned, “How could that be? FTW doesn’t need a jungler
substitute.”
Yuan Ze: “Not a substitute. A starter.”

Old G practically leapt up, “Close is retiring? He’s only 21, yet he’s
retiring? He…”
Yuan Ze’s gaze was one he reserved for fools, “Do you know where you
can be considered stronger than Close?”
Old G: “???”
Yuan Ze flicked him on the forehead, “You’re stupider than him.”
Old G: “………… F*ck!”
Yuan Ze ignored everyone and replayed the second match again.
After a full two hours, he sighed, “A genius. It really makes one envious.”
He’d spoken in Chinese. Only Gary, who’d learned a little bit of half-assed
Chinese from him, could barely understand his words.
––Genius.
What Marshal hated most was geniuses.
This kind of existence that had been born higher than ordinary people made
him want to personally destroy it.
Although Chen Feng praised Wei Xiao, he didn’t leave out any of the
shortcomings that needed to be pointed out.
He went through the video frame by frame, enlarging Wei Xiao’s mistakes
more and more, each word and sentence enough to cause people to collapse.
However…
Wei Xiao nodded constantly, “Yes! I was stupid and mentally retarded here.
I didn’t think that the gun (the blade gunner’s weapon was a machine gun)
could still manage to shoot under my broadsword, f*ck, why am I so
stupid…”
Chen Feng: “……”
As a poisonous tongued Coach who scolded more fiercely the more the
player cried, he actually felt a little embarrassed to scold Wei Xiao.
After all, no matter how he scolded him, he couldn’t do it as fiercely as how

the little madman was scolding himself.
He’d lost.
Coach Chen had actually lost in terms of poisonous tongues!
After the replay was over, Wei Xiao’s enthusiasm had really taken over, and
he really wished he could go and find L&P for another training match right
now so that he could make up for the mistakes just now and regain his
dignity!
Of course, this was impossible.
Lu Feng stood up, “It’s about enough. Everyone is free to do as they like.”
After all, it was the off-season, and it wasn’t necessary to be so tense all the
time. Relaxing properly was also necessary.
As soon as he finished saying this, the passion Wei Xiao had regarding
fighting against L&P faded instantly. He looked eagerly at Lu Feng, “Solo!”
Lu Feng looked at him, “Not hungry?”
Wei Xiao: “No!”
Lu Feng: “I’m hungry.”
“Ah…” Wei Xiao started chattering again, “Eating isn’t a big deal, but solo
is. How about we play two rounds first…”
Lu Feng stopped walking so suddenly that Wei Xiao almost smacked into
his back.
Lu Feng turned to look at him, “Eat more, and we can add an hour.”
Wei Xiao: “Holy shit!”
How could Close be such a great person?!
“What counts as eating more?” Wei Xiao was starting to calculate.
Lu Feng thought about it, “Compared to God Tang.”
The innocent Tang Chen who’d just been shot at lying down, “??? What do
you mean, Old Lu, what do you mean?! Are you saying that I eat too much?
Yingyingying, doesn’t our FTW have a lot of money? Are you unable to
afford it if laozi eats more?!”
Tang Chen was now addicted to acting and toppled sideways onto Chen
Feng’s shoulder, “He’s abandoning me. Seeing that I’m retiring, he won’t
give me food anymore.”
Chen Feng ended up stumbling from his sudden weight, “You aren’t even
satisfied after eating two king crabs for a meal. Who can f*cking afford to
raise you?!”
Tang Chen: “Ah, retirees have no human rights. The e-sports circle is really
as cruel as the cold winter.”
Wei Xiao’s sparkling eyes came leaning over, “God Tang, let’s go eat!”
Tang Chen: “……”
Your gaze doesn’t look like you want to eat dinner, it looks like you want to
eat me!
FTW’s food was really very good. The dinner made by their special chef
was delicious and appetizing, and it was completely different from the
teams next door that ate takeaway every day.
FTW really lived up to its name as the legendary health club.

Wei Xiao was very enthusiastic about dinner for the sake of solo. He ate
three times the amount of a normal meal in one go.
Tang Chen sighed emotionally, “It’s great to be young and full of passion.”
After dinner, Lu Feng had some work to deal with.
Wei Xiao had no choice but to be dragged around by Soybean for a post-
meal walk.
Based on the principle that if he had to suffer, his friends should too, Wei
Xiao dragged Bai Cai along with him.
Bai Cai was even more of a geek than he was, “You might be f*cking
willing to get walked by the dog, but laozi isn’t willing!”
Wei Xiao: “Look at how much Soybean likes you. How could you be such a
callous uncle?”
Bai Cai looked at Soybean…
Soybean had seen more handsome guys now and was now full of disdain
towards this clear vegetable soup, “Aro, aroo.” It was quite perfunctory.
Bai Cai was so angry that his heart ached: The dog was just like its owner,
they were two of a kind!
Before long, Lu Feng sent over a message, “I’m done.”
Wei Xiao immediately handed the leash over to Bai Cai, “Brother, I’m
handing my son over to you!”
Bai Cai’s mouth was twitching, “Do you even f*cking know what you look
like right now?”
Wei Xiao: “Ah?”
Bai Cai sniped at him, “Like a thirsty…”

Wei Xiao interjected, “Slut?”
Bai Cai: “………………F*ck!”
Wei Xiao blinked at him. One word from him had almost choked Bai Cai to
death.
“Why do you think I’m here? Isn’t it all for the sake of Close’s~ skills!”
Bai Cai: “………………”
Go wild!
Continue going wild, you little boy!
Sooner or later, you’re going to end up dying in bed!
Juurensha: Remember what you just said WX! xiin: Wei Xiao, your mouth,
it’s precious.
Ch26.1 - Sure enough... He liked
Close the most!
Wei Xiao ran the whole way back. As he bounced up the steps three at a
time, he was practically humming.
He ran into Yue Wenle in the main hall, and Old Yue stared at him in a way
that made a shiver run down his back, “Are you staying over tonight?”
It was only when he asked that Wei Xiao realized that this was a problem…
It was already 8 o’clock in the evening. It would be midnight after he

soloed with Lu Feng for four hours, and it wouldn’t be easy to return home
at that time.
“The base is so big. How could it lack a place for me to sleep?” There was
nobody who could beat Wei Xiaoxiao when it came to self-awareness.
Yue Wenle chuckled eerily, giving his handsome little white face a rather
psychotic, seductive feel, “That’s great, I’ll be waiting for you.”
Wei Xiao shivered, “Close is looking for me. I’m going up first.”
Yue Wenle: “Go, then.”
Wei Xiao bowed his head and sent Bai Cai a WeChat message, “Old Bai,
you have to protect me tonight!”
Bai Cai: “Why?”
It was hard to type with one hand while holding onto a dog.
Wei Xiao: “I’m afraid my virginity can’t be saved!”

Bai Cai was surprised, “You’re f*cking still chaste?”
Wei Xiao: “Get lost, laozi’s virgin body is still pure and fragrant!”
Bai Cai: “……………”
He didn’t want to hear about this at all. Really. He wanted to wash out his
ears and brain from out of fear that he’d be assassinated by a thief.
Wei Xiao was still going on, “Like I said, your God Le likes men. The gaze
he used to look at me just now was really full of unexpressed deep feelings.
He asked me if I was staying the night. I was thinking that since Close and I
would be at it until so late, it wouldn’t make sense to go back, so I said I’d
be saying. Guess what he did? He said he’d be waiting for me! What is he
doing waiting for me at midnight? I’m afraid it’s for the sake of climbing
into my bed.”
Bai Cai finished listening to this voice message, and his brain felt like it
was cramping, “Wei Xiao.”
Wei Xiao: “?”
Bai Cai: “Go and get lost ahhhhhhhh!”
Wei Xiao: “You’re forgetting the feelings between old teammates now that
you have a new one. You don’t even care if I drop dead. I’m going to sleep
with Close tonight.”
Bai Cai: “???”
The more Wei Xiao thought about it, the more reasonable it was, “Goodbye.
You’re useless. I’m going to dive into Close’s quilt!”
Bai Cai: “………………………………”
For a moment, Bai Cai also didn’t know who to feel distressed for.
He just hoped that he’d been overthinking it. His captain shouldn’t have
that kind of intention towards the little beast. Otherwise…
Shit, what kind of human suffering was this?
If one liked a human person, they just needed to keep themselves sharp. If
one liked a beast, then their future was really uncertain!
On the other side, Yue Wenle suddenly sneezed several times in a row.
Ning Zhehan worried, “Brother Le, did you catch a cold?”
Yue Wenle shook his head, “No, perhaps I’m too excited.”
Ning Zhehan: “Excited?”
Yue Wenle entered the single player training room and said darkly, “I’m
going to solo with One Lamp in four hours. Today, January 21, 2021 will be
the day when I, Yue Wenle, clear up my shame!”
It had been a year, and he now finally had a chance to prove himself!
Ning Zhehan: “……”
Was, was it really clearing up his shame, or adding shame on top of shame?
Granny gray’s heart was in the right place. He clenched his fist and
encouraged him, “You can do it!”
Wei Xiao pushed open the door to the first doubles training room. Lu Feng
was already there.
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved as he sat down opposite him, “Let’s go!”
Lu Feng raised his gaze and looked at him, “You ran?” The youth’s cheeks
were red, and his voice was a little short of breath.
Wei Xiao blinked at him, “How could I bear to make you wait for long?”
Lu Feng paused.
Wei Xiao spoke while logging into the game, “I thought about you for two
years. Of course I wouldn’t want to delay for a single minute or even a
single second.”
Lu Feng: “I never changed my cell phone number in the past two years.”
Back then, Wei Xiao had gotten his contact information.
Wei Xiao thought about how he’d left without saying goodbye and said
shamelessly, “How could I have the nerve to contact you?”
Lu Feng stared at the screen, “Oh.”
Wei Xiao was still talking, “Let’s start…”
‘And fight 300 glorious matches’ hadn’t yet left his mouth when he heard
Lu Feng say darkly, “It seems like you didn’t think about me enough.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Wei Xiaoxiao, who could run his mouth all over the sky and forget about it
as soon as it was said, ended up kicking an iron plate for once.
And there was no change in expression as Lu Feng calmly and

understatedly caused his processing to crash!
“Invited you.”
Lu Feng had already logged into the game and sent him an invitation to
fight.
Wei Xiao was immediately distracted, “Okay!”
Two years!
The solo that he’d been thinking about for two years had come at last!
Wei Xiao thought that he would never see Close again in this long and
narrow canyon.
But now…
F*ck, his heart was beating really fast!
Could this be the legendary ‘reunion after a brief parting is as sweet as a

honeymoon’?
Lu Feng knew what hero Wei Xiao wanted to play the most with his eyes
closed.
What was rare was that he fulfilled his wishes and took the shadow thief.
Solo could be played between two people with the same hero and talent, but
there were very few people who would be stubborn enough to use the
shadow thief when going up against Close.
First of all, this talent spec wasn’t the strongest when it came to solo games.
Second, the shadow thief in Close’s hands seemed possessed.
One had to be incredibly hard-headed to use the shadow thief in a solo

game against Close.
Two years ago, Wei Xiao had a nickname, Hard-headed Wei.
He’d taken the team cobbled together from the youth training camp and
challenged all the major clubs. Who dared to compare with him when it
came to sheer stubbornness?!
When he saw Lu Feng’s shadow thief, Wei Xiao’s blood heated up, “I hope
you can do one thing.”
Lu Feng looked into the youth’s crystal bright eyes, “Hm?”
“Please make sure to…” Wei Xiao’s mouth curved, “Not take it easy on
me!”
Lu Feng’s cold eyes filled with a trace of barely noticeable laughter. He

spoke softly, “Okay.”
Indeed, he didn’t take it easy on him at all.
Two years later, Wei Xiao was able to experience even more excitement and
stimulation that made his scalp go numb than he had before.
Wei Xiao hadn’t played professionally over the past two years, but he had
always been soloing with professional players, and his growth was very
obvious. He was definitely stronger and more stable than he’d been two
years ago, and yet…
He’d grown up, but so had Lu Feng!
Two years ago, he’d been the great demon king who was the ceiling of
Glory, and now he was even stronger!
Previously, Lu Feng hadn’t played very seriously when he was on Yue

Wenle’s account. Now that he was completely serious, his strength really
exploded out!
In just five minutes, Wei Xiao already felt a strong sense of oppression.
Inside the long and narrow canyon, the shadow thief on the opposing side
was like a black fog that covered everything. The overwhelming power that
pressured him… made Wei Xiao’s fingertips quiver with excitement.
Sure enough…
Close was the strongest.
Sure enough…
Nobody else could compare to the number one in the world.
Sure enough…
He liked Close the most!
The match ended. Wei Xiao lost without a doubt.

However, he was very happy. This was the kind of happiness that no other
professional player could give him.
“Exciting!” Wei Xiao breathed softly, then said, “Again!”
He couldn’t bear to waste even a single second of the four hours.
Lu Feng said, “I’ll take the blade gunner.”
Wei Xiao understood instantly, “Okay, I’ll take the divine warrior!”
In the last training match between FTW and L&P, Yuan Ze had taken the
blade gunner on the opposite side and Wei Xiao had played the divine
warrior.
In that match, Wei Xiao had been suppressed by Yuan Ze and had lost his
head ten times.
Now, Lu Feng was recreating that game in their solo match.
In theory, the blade gunner definitely couldn’t beat the divine warrior in a
solo game.
The divine warrior could be considered a god in a one on one fight. When
coming up against the blade warrior who desperately needed to develop
first, it should be able to deal with them like cutting melons and chopping
vegetables.
Of course….
The strength of a hero depended more on the person who was using them.
The blade gunner in Lu Feng’s hands had the same essence as Yuan Ze’s.
There were many variables in 5v5, but there were only two people facing
off against each other in a solo match.
Whether or not they could win against their opponent depended on their
personal operations.
Wei Xiao was completely engrossed in it, unconscious of the fact that
they’d already soloed for three hours.
Other than in the first match, Lu Feng used the blade gunner the whole
time, and Wei Xiao used the divine warrior the whole time.
The two of them repeated the same hero choices and faced each other again
and again.
Until the last match where Wei Xiao played out a set of moves…
First Blood!
Wei Xiao took down the first kill.
He’d taken the lead in killing Close’s blade gunner!
The corner of Lu Feng’s mouth raised slightly, “Good.”
Wei Xiao was even more excited, “Next game, I’ll be able to win against
you in the next game!”
Lu Feng looked at the time. “It’s twelve.”
Wei Xiao: “Ah?”
He looked up in a daze. On the huge electronic clock to the side, the

numbers were displayed accurately––12:00:00.
Like Cinderella at the ball, Wei Xiao had to leave the ball before having
danced enough!
How could Wei Xiao be willing? He hurried to say, “One match, just one
more match.”
Lu Feng quit the room, “Tired.”
Wei Xiao bounced up from his chair, “How could you be tired!”
Without waiting for Lu Feng to say more, Wei Xiao had already walked
around behind him, “Is your neck tired? Your shoulders? Back? I’ll
massage it for you!”
After saying so, a cool hand landed on Lu Feng’s neck.
Lu Feng grabbed Wei Xiao’s wrist.
Wei Xiao froze.
Lu Feng immediately let go, and turned his chair to look at him, “Wei
Xiao.”
Wei Xiao was a little surprised. Lu Feng’s hand was very strong, and his
wrist hurt slightly from the grip, “Hm?”
Lu Feng looked into his eyes, “Do you want to win?”
Wei Xiao didn’t know why, but he didn’t quite dare to look at him, “Yes.”
Lu Feng: “Do you only want to win against me?”
Wei Xiao was instantly left speechless.
xiin: lol @ Wei Xiao willing to do anything for another game… fortunately
Lu Feng isn’t a total beast~
Ch26.2 - God Lu, your tone, how
come it sounds so much like a
proposal?!
Lu Feng stood up. He was six or seven centimeters taller than Wei Xiao,
and he was normally cold and aloof. When he lowered his eyes to look at
people, there were very few people who could resist him.
Wei Xiao might be bratty, but there were still people he listened to very
naturally.
For example, he’d been very afraid of his grandma when he was a child.
When his grandmother was angry, he wouldn’t dare to make noise at all,
and would just bow his head and admit that he was wrong.
For example, when faced with Lu Feng, Wei Xiao was also a little
intimidated.
There was no other reason except that he felt guilty.
Regardless of whether it was two years ago or two years later, Lu Feng had
treated him particularly well.
But he…
Wei Xiao wasn’t afraid of being treated well by others because he would
return it to them twofold, but it was only with Lu Feng that he couldn’t do
the same.
What Lu Feng wanted was something he couldn’t give.

The youth, who was so spirited and unbridled at normal times, had become
so downcast and dejected. Lu Feng’s heart melted.
“You were very unsatisfied with the training match this afternoon, right?”
His voice lightened.
Wei Xiao nodded.
Lu Feng continued, “Yuan Ze is very strong, right.”
Wei Xiao clenched his fist, “Yes.”
Lu Feng: “There are people who are even stronger than him, but none of
them will take part in the singles.”
Out of FTW’s god team from before, each of the five starting players were
all strong enough to be heaven-defying.
Close had been the youngest player in the team at the time and had been
considered one of the weaker ones.
But now, Close had won the singles championship three consecutive times.
There were those who said that Close had won the championship because
the other four had given up on the singles.
If they signed up to participate, it would be unclear who would win or lose.
It was also said that Close had grown rapidly and surpassed the other four
people to become the real unmatched number one in the world.
But these things were impossible to prove.
Because if he wanted to go up against those four people, it could only be in

the 5v5 arena where the teams were matched in strength.
As for FTW as a whole, they have never been able to reach the global
finals.
Nobody knew if the Close who’d stayed in FTW was stronger, or the four
who’d left FTW were stronger.
Lu Feng asked Wei Xiao again, “Do you only want to win against me?”
Wei Xiao’s fist was clenched in a death grip, and he couldn’t speak.
Lu Feng continued, “Or do you want to win against everyone.”
Each word and phrase were like heavy hammers that smashed onto Wei
Xiao’s heart.
He and Close had only really known each other for a short time. Three days
and three nights two years ago, and less than ten hours today.
However Close understood him. He understood him better than anyone

else.
Wei Xiao’s teeth were clenched tight and his voice trembled slightly, “I’m
sorry, I promised someone that I would never…”
Lu Feng spoke before he could finish, “I went to your home.”
Wei Xiao raised his head up abruptly, his eyes wide open. Everything inside
him felt uneasy.
Lu Feng’s heart clenched as he said gently, “Your grandmother loved you

very much. Since she loved you so much, she wouldn’t stop you from doing
anything.”
Wei Xiao’s lips moved, and his eyes turned red.
Grandma…
He couldn’t bear to hear anything about his grandma.
Lu Feng held his hand and led him out of the training room to head upstairs,
“She hoped that you wouldn’t be like your father. She wasn’t stopping you
from doing things you like to do, but she hoped that you could see more,
and she hoped that you wouldn’t ignore your entire life for the sake of one
thing.”
Wei Xiao was like a block of wood. For two years, two whole years,
nobody had talked to him about this, and he would definitely never speak
about this with anyone.
He’d thought that he would be furious if he heard anything about his

grandma.
But now…
He wasn’t angry. The hand holding his own was very hot and carried a thin
layer of calluses that made him think of his childhood.
His grandma’s hand had been very rough, but it had also been very warm.
Every time he came back from outside, she would hold his hand and rub it
as she said, “Little Xiao is so clever, helping grandma buy things at such a
small age.”
Wei Xiao felt that that had been the most satisfying time of his life.
No matter how tired he’d been from running around, or how much pain he
felt, no matter how much others laughed at him, as long as he came home,
his grandma would hold his hand and smile at him, and he would feel that
none of that mattered.
So what if he didn’t have a mom and dad.
He had a grandma.
His grandma loved him more than anyone else.
Lu Feng gave Wei Xiao the things that Wei Xiao’s mother had given him.
When Wei Xiao opened up the box, he couldn’t stop his tears from flowing.
There was a painting inside the box. It was a portrait, a painting of a

younger grandma and signed by Wei Quan.
It had been painted by Wei Xiao’s father when he was 17 years old.
Grandma had kept it as a treasure for 30 years.
Wei Xiao often saw it when he was a child. Back then, his grandma would
always tell him proudly, “Your father, he’s really good at painting. Look at
his painting of your grandma, doesn’t it look very alike? Isn’t it very
beautiful?”
Wei Xiao never saw it again after he grew up. He’d thought that his
grandma had been brokenhearted and thrown away the painting, but in fact,
she’d always kept it, putting it aside carefully like a treasure.
Next to the painting was a thick notebook.
Wei Xiao was very familiar with this notebook.
In his first year of primary school, the teacher had asked the parents to put
together a growth journal for their children.
Grandma was already old and didn’t understand these things, so she’d run
off to the school and asked the teacher.
The teacher had replied perfunctorily, but the old lady had remembered it. It
turned out that the point was to keep a diary for her grandson.
From then on, Grandma Wei, who didn’t know many words, slowly went
through the dictionary and kept a journal for Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao had seen it before when he had graduated from primary school.
He’d thought that his grandma no longer kept the diary after that, but now
when he opened it up…
It was densely packed with cute handwriting that looked like it had been
written by a primary school student.
Grandma had always continued journaling; she had always been writing,
jotting down the bits and pieces of Wei Xiao’s life.
February 9, 2018.
Little Xiao went to play in a competition. It turned out that there are
competitions for games. Little Xiao is really amazing, he wins every time.
Little Xiao is really capable, he’s not afraid of anything!
February 13, 2018.
It’s almost New Year’s Eve. Little Xiao hasn’t come back for a week. Sigh,
it’s really like father, like son. They’re the same when they encounter
something they like.
February 15, 2018.
What a big lobster! He made money from playing in the competition, Little
Xiao is really capable!
February 18, 2018.
That Old Yang next door has a bitter mouth. What’s wrong with e-sports?
Our Little Xiao doesn’t only know how to play games, he wants to become
the champion!
February 20, 2018.
Little Xiao, grandma misses you, but that’s okay. Children who grow up
have to leave home.
February 22, 2018.
Little Xiao, grandma might not be able to accompany you for much longer.
February 23, 2018.
Don’t be like your father. Grandma hopes that you will do what you like,
but don’t forget that there isn’t only one thing to pursue in life. Look at the
people around you, make more friends, find someone who loves you, and
live simply and happily.
February 24, 2018.

Goodbye, Little Xiao.
After flipping to the very end, Wei Xiao clutched the notebook tightly in his
arms.
Lu Feng, who’d been standing beside him, pressed him into his chest.
After his vision turned dark, Wei Xiao no longer had any scruples and
sobbed desperately.
“It’s my fault.” Wei Xiao spoke in fits and starts, “I didn’t go home much
during winter vacation.”
Lu Feng patted him lightly on the back.
Wei Xiao didn’t require him to answer; he just needed to speak all the
words that were pressing down on his heart, “My grandma’s life was too
bitter. She always left the good things to me and couldn’t bear to eat well or
dress well herself. She tried her best to help me with my studies, and I
wanted to repay her, I wanted to give her all the money I earned. I wanted
her to live a good life, but…”
He was about to get the two million signing fee, but his grandma passed
away.
His grandma, who’d been suffering from illness every day, who had refused
to go to the hospital because she was reluctant to spend money on herself.
His grandma, who’d been killed by a disease that could’ve been controlled
with timely treatment.
He hadn’t known anything, and he hadn’t even been by her side.
He’d hurried home.
And seen his grandma on her deathbed.
His vaguely conscious grandma had just called out his name, then told
him… don’t be like your father, don’t be so miserable, Little Xiao, you have
to be happy.
Do the things that you like to do, but don’t neglect the unlimited breadth of
life due to an obsession.
From beginning to end, the only thing his grandma had left behind for him
was an infinite amount of love.
Lu Feng kept him company the whole time.
Wei Xiao cried from 12AM to 2AM. He talked continuously about his
childhood, his grandmother, and constantly recalled old memories.
Lu Feng answered in a low voice and was the best listener.
All the burden that was backlogged in Wei Xiao’s heart was all let out that
night.
At 3 o’clock in the morning, Wei Xiao could only reminisce about the
happy memories with his grandmother.
He had cried and cried and started to laugh, then laughed and laughed and
started to cry.
The 19 year old youth had been strong for 19 years.
For the first time, he acted like a child, crying and laughing without
restraint.
When the sun began to rise up in the sky, Wei Xiao was bathed in the light
of the new sunrise.
When he realized that he’d been acting like a fool all night, Wei Xiao said
awkwardly, “Sorry… your clothes…”
F*ck, was he made of water? How could he cry so much? He’d cried so
much that Lu Feng’s clothing looked wretched!
Lu Feng poked him on his forehead, “Not crying anymore?”

He should just die from embarrassment and be done with it!
Lu Feng laughed briefly and called out his name gently, “Wei Xiao.”
Wei Xiao felt uneasy all over, “Yes?”
Lu Feng looked into his eyes, “Do you want to come to FTW and become
my teammate?”
It was impossible to refuse.
But…
Wei Xiao tried hard to ease his embarrassment, “God Lu, your tone, how
come it sounds so much like a proposal?!”
Juurensha: Because it issssssss xiin: WX, your mouth… it’s epic

Ch27 - Lu Feng: “So, I’m yours for
24 hours a day?”
Wei Xiao felt at ease again. Words that would make anyone else
embarrassed enough to want to drill into the ground were really useful in
easing awkwardness when it came to him.
After half a beat of silence, Lu Feng spoke again, “Then are you marrying
or not?”
Wei Xiao: “Ah?”
The iron plate was in front of him. Wei Xiaoxiao slammed into it head-first
and ended up with a bump!
Lu Feng laughed briefly, “I’m asking if you want to join FTW.”
He deliberately dragged out the word ‘join’. In the extensive and profound
Chinese language, ‘marry’ and ‘join’ sounded vaguely similar.
Wei Xiao could sense that Lu Feng was teasing him, and it aroused his
desire for victory.
It was fine to lose in solo matches, but when it came to shamelessness, he

was invincible!
Wei Xiao: “Marry!”
Lu Feng’s eyes were full of laughter, “Hm?”

Wei Xiao’s eyes were full of provocation as he said super loudly, “I. Want.
To. ‘Marry’. Into. FTW!”
At the stairway, the Old Yue who’d matured from a little white face into a
vampire, who had been wandering around for a full four hours, “???”
In his hazy confusion, what kind of amazing news had he just heard?
Marry?
Marry!
F*ck, he’d originally been carrying a figurative bow and arrow, wanting to
shoot right through this delicious spicy chicken. But now…
To hell with shooting!
The godly marksman Yue Wenle slipped away in disgrace. He was afraid,
he didn’t dare. He was afraid that he might end up shooting out a Cupid’s
arrow!
After crying for most of the night, Wei Xiao was tired. He slept until two
o’clock in the afternoon.
He woke up refreshed, and his entire person felt lighter.
Grandma’s portrait board was placed on the coffee table. He only needed to
glance at it once, and the tip of his nose turned sour.
But he wouldn’t cry again.
Wei Xiao walked over and touched the portrait. A gentle smile graced his
mouth, “Thank you, grandma.”
His grandmother had loved him with everything she had when she was still
alive.
His grandmother had gone to heaven, but she was still looking over him
now.
Over the past two years, what had pressed down on Wei Xiao’s heart had
been his self doubt and guilt that couldn’t be released.
He’d gone against his parents for so many years, not wanting to be a
similarly selfish person, yet during the winter vacation when he was 17,
he’d done the same thing as Wei Quan.
At the time of her death, his grandma’s words for him not to be like his
father had been like a blade stabbing into Wei Xiao’s heart.
Don’t be the same as Wei Quan.
Don’t be like Wei Quan…
Wei Xiao had suddenly sobered up. He’d left his grandmother and spent all
his time, day and night, chasing after an ethereal goal. What was the
difference between Wei Quan and Wei Xiao?
He wanted to earn money by playing professionally, and he wanted to use

this to allow his grandma to live a good life.
But deep down…
It was because he liked it.
He liked the feeling of the competition, liked the excitement of competing,

the blood-boiling tension, and the moments where one gave their all for the
victory.
He couldn’t ignore the desire in his heart and had ignored his grandmother.
What was the difference between him and Wei Quan!?
He hated Wei Quan, but just like Wei Quan, he’d made his grandmother
miserable in the end.
At that moment, Wei Xiao had been thoroughly defeated by his own guilt
and self-reproach.
Giving up his professional e-sports career had been Wei Xiao’s punishment
to himself.
And last night…
Wei Xiao had read the diary his grandma had left for him, and the haze that
had lingered in his heart for all this time finally dissipated.
It turned out that his grandma didn’t blame him.
It turned out that his grandma had supported him all along.
Supported him to do what he liked, supported him to live the life he wanted.
Her only requirement was that she hoped that he could look at the scenery
along the way, and not let it become an obsession that resulted in nothing
but pain.
“Don’t be like your father, allowing your dream to become an abyss.”
This was what Grandma Wei had really wanted to say to Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao kissed the portrait and whispered, “Don’t worry. I will live very
happily.”
He would live up to her expectations, live up to her life, and live up to the
life she’d given him.
When Lu Feng came in, he saw Wei Xiao kissing the portrait.
The warm afternoon sun fell on the youth and outlined him in gold. He had
dark, short hair, a clean face, and his closed eyes covered up the wanton
recklessness they held, leaving only a touch of childishness.
19 years old.
It was an innocent and naive age, yet he’d already experienced the parting
of life and death.
Lu Feng shifted his gaze and knocked at the door.

Wei Xiao looked up at him.
Seeing those bright and pure eyes that seemed to forever be full of vitality,
Lu Feng’s chest grew a little hot.
This was a boy born in a quagmire of thorns, yet he simply couldn’t wait to
light up the entire world with his own light.
––Really beautiful.
“I took a shower.” Wei Xiao plucked at his clothing, “I didn’t bring a

change of clothing, so I just wore yours.”
He was a little shorter than Lu Feng, but this kind of t-shirt and pants were
originally loose, so it wasn’t a problem when he wore them.
Lu Feng shifted his gaze away, “Wear it, then.”
Wei Xiao had been in a confused haze last night, and there were many
things he hadn’t thought through. At this moment, he was completely
awake and had a bunch of question marks in his mind.
“Captain!”
Although he hadn’t yet signed the contract, he’d been quick to change his
mode of address, mainly because he was afraid that Lu Feng would go back
on his word.
Lu Feng froze slightly, “Hm?”
The youth leaned over and looked at him with eager eyes, “Do you really
want to sign me?”
Lu Feng handed him the milk in order to prevent him from getting so close.
Wei Xiao accepted the milk but didn’t concern himself with drinking it. He
stared unblinkingly at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng looked down at the milk, “What, regretting it?”

Wei Xiao: “Me? I’m afraid that you’re regretting it!”
Lu Feng glanced at him, “Why?”
Wei Xiao drank a sip of the sweet milk, but it couldn’t stop the sourness in
his words. “We’re short a top-laner in the team, right? Didn’t you have your
eyes set on one a long time ago? If I sign now, am I joining as a substitute?
I don’t mind being a substitute, but I think you should give me a chance to
solo against him. How about whoever wins gets the top lane?”
Seeing Lu Feng ‘hesitating’, Wei Xiao became even more sour, “I don’t
care. You invited me last night, and I agreed. Even if there’s no black and
white written words, you can’t go back on it!”
Lu Feng chuckled.
Wei Xiao was strangely nervous. It hadn’t been easy for him to untie the
knot in his heart and play professionally, and he only wanted to join FTW.
He didn’t want to go to any other team!
But, what would he do on the off-chance that Lu Feng didn’t want him?!
Not only was this guy the captain, he was also the head of the club. Every
single word of his carried weight, right?!
Lu Feng set aside the smile on his face and looked at him carefully, “He’s
excellent.”
Lu Feng continued, “He has a strong personal ability.”
This sounded familiar to Wei Xiao’s ears. It seemed that Lu Feng had said
this when they were in the car.
Lu Feng: “He’s young and inexperienced, but his future is promising.”

Wei Xiao was about to die from sourness. F*ck, could it be that Close really
didn’t want him?!
Lu Feng continued, “I value him very much, because he’s worth it.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
It’s over. He was done for!
His career was over before it even started!
Lu Feng: “He’s worth inviting twice, worth waiting two years for, worth me
trying my best to coax him into the base.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng looked at him and asked softly, “Do you know his name?”
Wei Xiao acted like a block of wood for two seconds before pointing at
himself.
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
It was a single syllable, the one that the fans called a cold and indifferent
monosyllable, yet it made Wei Xiao’s heart explode with joy when he heard
it!
Wei Xiao: “So you mean that the one you had your eye on was me? The one
you want is me? You said that I’m excellent and have a strong personal
ability. Although I’m young and experienced, I have a promising future?”
Wei Xiao was going crazy from joy. He continued to press, “Is it is it is it is
it?”
Lu Feng smiled briefly, “Yes.”

Wei Xiao’s memory was much sharper than others at this moment. He
followed up, “You think that I’ll be stronger than you in the future?”
Lu Feng went with it, “Yes.”
Wei Xiao’s heart exploded with delight, “To be honest…”
Lu Feng vaguely felt that his next sentence wouldn’t be anything good.
Sure enough, Wei Xiao’s mouth was incurable, “My current mood, I’m
even happier than if I got a love confession from my crush!”
Lu Feng couldn’t help it and flicked his forehead, “Enough.”
Wei Xiao was gushing, “I feel that I still need to work hard in order to
surpass you. Why don’t we…”
Lu Feng: “Go downstairs. Eat.”
After saying so, he turned and went out.
Wei Xiao followed him, “Then after eating…”
Lu Feng walked ahead, “After eating, we’ll arrange the contract.”
Wei Xiao: “All it takes is a signature. It won’t take long.”
Lu Feng stopped to look at him, “You don’t want to know how much your
signing fee is?”
Wei Xiaoxiao was focused on his plan, “How about this, if you solo with
me for 12 hours a day, I won’t take any signing fee!”
Lu Feng had smiled more since seeing this brat than he had in the previous
21 years, “Wei Xiao.”
Wei Xiao stared unblinkingly at him, “Hm?”
Lu Feng: “You’re coming to FTW in order to be my teammate.”

Wei Xiao: “Yeah.”
Lu Feng: “Teammates fight side by side; they don’t solo day and night.”
Wei Xiao continued to strive for his goal, “Then we can fight together for
12 hours, then solo for 12 hours?”
Lu Feng: “So, I’m yours for 24 hours a day?”
Wei Xiao was stunned and actually became a little embarrassed, “…You
see, aren’t I also giving you all 24 hours of my day?”
It was mutual!
Lu Feng was silent for three seconds before coldly refusing him, “No.”
Wei Xiao: “…Then, let’s discuss. How about two hours of free time a day?”
“You can solo with me if you want to.” The great demon king was worthy
of his name and specialized in dealing with the little lunatic, “Three hours
for every regular season game we win.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng continued, “If you win a playoff game, it’ll be 10 hours; winning
the China championship, 100 hours.”
Wei Xiaoxiao was really engrossed in it, “Then what about the world
championship!”
Lu Feng glanced at him, “However long you want.”
Wei Xiao: “!!!”
Lu Feng: “The time is up to you. I’ll accompany you at any time.”
Wei Xiao: “F*ck!”
In that case, what was he waiting for? He had to hurry up and train!
The other three starters of the FTW team, who’d just woken up from their
slumber, still didn’t know what they were about to experience…
Oh, it wasn’t just the starters at FTW. Not even the China competition zone
or Glory’s 16 competition zones realized that today was such an
extraordinary day.
An inflammable and explosive hazardous object had been ignited by the

great demon king himself on this day!
Although Wei Xiao didn’t care how much the signing fee was, Lu Feng
definitely wouldn’t treat him badly.
It was actually reasonable to say that Wei Xiao, who’d left the circle for two
years, had no real value.
However, compared with Yue Wenle’s signing fee, Lu Feng privately added
another 10% for him and drew up the contract.
Even Wei Xiao, who didn’t care about how much it was, was shocked when
he saw it.
Lu Feng: “This is the basic signing fee. Prize money won during the
competitions is distributed to the players proportionally.”
The prize money in Glory events was surprisingly high. For example, the
global finals were worth US $30 million, which was enough to make
countless people go crazy.
Wei Xiao didn’t care much about these things. What he cared about was, “I
think that… the contract has to be written in more detail.”
Lu Feng: “How so?”
He’d prepared the contract himself and hadn’t missed out any details.
Wei Xiao spoke seriously, “For example, you’ll accompany me for however
long I want if we win the global finals. Shouldn’t that also be written into
the contract?”
Inside the conference room, the FTW Club staff responsible for the contract
signing broke the tip of his pen!
Juurensha: I do hope at some point they get some sleep. xiin: yeah, the 2
hours of free time out of their 48 hour day…
Ch28.1 - I want to beat out a
bloody path amongst the thousands
of Close CPs!
Wei Xiao was very clear about who was in charge. He looked at Lu Feng
with eager eyes.
The staff members were afraid to lift their head. They only wished that he
could stare holes into this contract!
What the hell was this?
These two…
The world of young people was too terrifying!
Lu Feng actually didn’t explain it. He only said to Wei Xiao, “This is a
private agreement between us. It doesn’t have to be written into the
contract.”
The staff members: F*ck!
Wei Xiao thought about it and realized it made sense. He then reminded Lu
Feng, “You have to keep your word.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao then told the staff who were sitting there, “Please help me act as a
witness!”
The staff members: “………………”
Witness what? Who wants to act as a witness for your ‘accompany you for
however long you want’?
After dealing with the big stone in his heart, Wei Xiao boldly signed his
name on the signature page and printed his name.
So, after a two year detour, Wei Xiao finally joined FTW!
Wei Xiao was still attending college. He’d been admitted to the famous
Normal University in China. Although it wasn’t as impressive as a certain
someone who’d dropped out of Nanjing University, he was still a serious
and talented student.
Lu Feng: “The matter of suspending school isn’t urgent. We’ll do it after the
new year.”
Wei Xiao had been lively on the outside while living in seclusion on the
inside for the past two years. He didn’t have friends at school and didn’t
feel much regret, “’Kay.”
The two of them left the meeting room. Lu Feng asked, “Do you have any
thoughts about your game ID?”
An ID had to be registered when one became a professional player. Glory

had international events, and the competition committee had unified
regulations. All player IDs were to be in English, making it convenient for
communication between countries.
Wei Xiao’s former international server ID was Professor, which carried the
meaning of ‘teacher’ in Chinese. On one hand, he’d been determined to
become a teacher at a normal university and he’d used it to remind himself
not to be completely immersed in the professional gaming arena. On the
other hand, Professor sounded like ‘Call Beast’ in Chinese, and had more
oomph than ‘teacher’.
In short, this ID didn’t mean ‘grandmaster’ at all. After all, the
‘grandmaster’ nickname was something created by the little cubs he’d
bullied into crying, and it didn’t have anything to do with Wei Xiao.
It was even to the point where Wei Xiao hadn’t even read Jin Zhong’s
works and didn’t know what the name One Lamp Grandmaster meant. It
was Bai Cai who’d had to send him the Baidu Encyclopedia link.
Only then did Wei Xiao understand that the One Lamp Grandmaster was so
deeply hidden. However, he also secretly felt that it matched his identity, so
he happily acknowledged it.
Now…
Wei Xiao had an idea in mind, “Quiet!”
He might say that he didn’t plan to play professionally, but in fact, he’d
been thinking of this ID for two years.
Lu Feng: “Quiet?”
Quiet was indeed good, but it really didn’t suit Wei Xiao.
A trash talk king being called Quiet; it was full of irony and provocation no
matter how one looked at it.
Wei Xiao explained to Lu Feng, “Your ID is Close, and mine is Quiet; one
is seclusion, and the other is quiet. The implication is that the other side will
be beat up until they’re unable to speak and directly go into seclusion!”
Wei Xiao continued excitedly, “I thought of it about two years ago. I

originally wanted to use Open as it would match with your name, but then,
Open seemed a little too open. I went through the English dictionary for
most of the night and then found that the word Quiet is pretty good!”
Lu Feng hesitated slightly, “They’re both good.”
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
Lu Feng said softly, “Any name of yours is good.”
Wei Xiao was delighted, “Then, we’ll use Quiet?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao felt deeply that his brain was really amazing. In the future, he and
Lu Feng would become the Seclusion CP. Oh, that wasn’t very good. What
if they were cursed to be autistic? The CP name wasn’t urgent, he could go
and ask the expert Old Bai later and ask him for help…
When he thought of Bai Cai, Wei Xiao was still planning to settle accounts
with him later!
“Where’s Old Bai? I didn’t see him after dinner just now.”
Lu Feng: “He should be in the training room at this hour.”
Wei Xiao: “I have something to discuss with him!”
That son of a bitch must have known that FTW’s new top-laner was him,
but he actually continued hiding it and tried to whet his appetite!
Wei Xiao left in a blaze. Lu Feng stopped where he was and stared at his
back for a while.
Wei Xiao’s words still echoed in his ears––I went through the English
dictionary for most of the night and then found that the word Quiet is pretty
good.
The image of a 17 year old youth who hadn’t gone to sleep at night, wasn’t
playing games, and was flipping through the English dictionary instead
popped into Lu Feng’s mind.
Two years ago, FTW had wanted Wei Xiao. Wei Xiao had also been eager
to join FTW.
It was a pity that the affairs of the world were inconstant, and they’d missed
that opportunity.
At the time, Lu Feng had barely been able to deal with his own affairs and
had no time at all to go look for Wei Xiao after he left. If he’d gone to Wei
Xiao’s home to check out the situation back then, would things have turned
out differently?
Lu Feng’s eyes drooped down, and he suppressed these churning thoughts.
There was no need to feel regret over the past. What he should do was
cherish the present and make sure the future would hold no regrets.
Two years ago, he hadn’t had the power to keep Wei Xiao. Now, two years
later, he’d already set up the stage for him to fly.
Bai Cai was hiding from Wei Xiao.
He could figure out that the captain must have locked in Beast Wei even if
he thought with his toes.
Thinking of how he’d spoken those words to stimulate Wei Xiao in order to
cooperate with the captain, Bai Cai could feel that he was done for,
thoroughly, completely done for!
In order to reduce a certain person’s anger, Bai Cai picked up the leash and
went downstairs to take Soybean out for a walk.
He just so happened to be blocked at the door by Wei Xiao.
Bai Cai: “!”
As soon as Wei Xiao saw his doggy son, he immediately started, “Don’t
think that I’ll let you off just because you’re using Soybean as a doggy
shield!”
Bai Cai managed to keep silent for half a second before exploding, “F*ck
your daddy. I’m kind enough to walk your dog, yet you’re here f*cking
insulting me!”
Wei Xiao: “Would a damned nerd like you take the initiative to walk a dog?
You just have an uneasy conscience!”
Bai Cai: “Laozi’s good intentions are being treated as malicious!”
Wei Xiao: “Your good intentions? You’re a damned black hearted ghost.
Old Bai. Is it that you have a lot of friends and won’t miss not having me
around? Must’ve felt pretty good to hide things from me!”
Bai Cai’s liver ached, “You were a fool on your own, and you were blindly
eating vinegar and being petty and jealous. Laozi can laugh at you for a
lifetime over that.”
Wei Xiao: “F*ck, Bai Cai, you’re finished!”
Ning Zhehan, who’d heard the commotion and come out of the training
room, was left with his mouth open in shock.
Yue Wenle chomped on potato chips and said, “It’s been a year since I
joined the team, but it’s the first time I’ve seen Brother Cai so energetic.”
Ning Zhehan had joined the team later, but as a member of the circle, he
knew a lot about the various professional players.
For example, FTW’s support Bai Cai was famous as a Buddhist youth. He
was always gentle and elegant and smiling no matter what. It was like he
wished he could write the words ‘anything’s fine’, ‘okay’, ‘it doesn’t
matter’ on his face.
But now…
Brother Cai didn’t look anything like a Buddhist. He was obviously a Taoist
child, and the words he traded with Wei Xiao didn’t seem thoughtful at all!
Yue Wenle couldn’t help but be reminded of a certain commentator’s
words––God Bai was missing a soul.
Now, it looked like their God Bai’s ‘soul’ had returned.
The two of them mutually sniped at each other for a long time, then
Soybean finally broke free of the hold on his leash and ran off.
Wei Xiao & Bai Cai: “F*ck!”
They ran after the dog together.
After ending up with a whole body drenched in sweat, Bai Cai somehow
managed to grab a hold of Soybean in the garden. Wei Xiao took in his
weak chicken-like appearance and was too lazy to continue their verbal
battle
Bai Cai’s personality in the fan circle was gentle and good-natured. As the
Glory circle’s head ‘shou’, he’d deeply hidden his merit and fame as the
Gossip Emperor, and his act was perfect.
Of course, this had something to do with the way he himself was

particularly fond of staying at home and really didn’t like to exercise.
Wasn’t it a good thing pretending to be weak? Why should he tire himself

out?
This was Brother Cai’s life wisdom.
Wei Xiao took over Soybean’s leash and gave Bai Cai a chance to catch his
breath.
Bai Cai gasped for breath, then glanced at him, “Did you finally think
things through clearly?”
Wei Xiao: “Mm.”
It had been two years, but Bai Cai had never asked, “What exactly…”
The two of them had ‘collaborated’ for so long and couldn’t be more clear
about each other’s bad habits, but they had never talked about what
happened two years ago.
Wei Xiao sighed and told him everything about what happened last night in
detail.
Once it was out, the things that he’d once been unable to face and unable to
touch, became much less daunting.
His parents, his grandma…
His own regret, guilt, self-blame, and loss.
It could all be spoken out loud.
Grandma hoped that he would be happy, and the Wei Xiao who’d given up
the competition arena had no longer had any connection to happiness.
So, he was back!
Bai Cai was shocked and taken aback as he listened. He’d vaguely known
that Wei Xiao and his parents were at odds, but he hadn’t expected it to be
like this.
Wei Xiao shared these things because he felt that Bai Cai should know.
If there hadn’t been Bai Cai in these past two years, he didn’t know how he
would’ve ended up.
Bai Cai was greedy for money, but as a starting player for the FTW team,
how could he care about the small commission earned from the
accompanying player business?
He’d done it just for Wei Xiao.
He couldn’t let go of this stupid, foolish captain who’d taken him to fight
from north to south during their time in the training camp.
“Anyway, we’re in the same team again!” Wei Xiao thumped his fist
against Bai Cai’s chest, very lightly.
Bai Cai felt that his heart was burning. He was unable to put on airs like
Wei Xiao and said, “What the hell does that have to do with me!”
Wei Xiao laughed, “Oh, right. I’m not a jungler or a marksman now.
There’s no way to take you flying.”
Bai Cai sneered, “Bullshit, even if you were a jungler, so what? Can you be
as strong as Close? Even Close can’t fly.”
Wei Xiao: “Close can’t carry on his own, but it’s definitely possible once
you add Quiet. Oh, my new ID is Quiet. Isn’t it great? By the way, you’d
better hurry up and stay up late in order to help me think up a CP name and
build up hype for it on your alt account!”
Bai Cai froze for half a second, “What CP name?”
Wei Xiao was very calm and frank, “Me and Close! It has to be powerful,
more majestic than the Double Feng CP, and more interesting than your
Marinated Vegetables (Lu x Cai) CP. I want to beat out a bloody path
amongst the thousands of Close CPs!”
Bai Cai: “………………F*ck!”
Had the contract been signed? Captain, please reconsider this. Are we really
going to let this shameless old beast into the team?!
Ch28.2 - Lu Feng: FTW advocates
free love
After walking the dog back, the Yue Wenle who’d chomped down two bags
of chips stared at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao gave a cautious greeting, “God Le.”
Yue Wenle: “I waited for you all night last night.”
Wei Xiao laughed dryly, “Waited, for me? For what?”
Yue Wenle bit down on the chips and made a crunchy sound, “Waited so
you and I could solo!”
He’d waited from 1AM to 6AM. There was nobody who could understand
the journey Yue Wenle’s heart had undertaken during that time!
Wei Xiao: “???”
Wei Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, “Oh, solo. You should’ve said that earlier.
I thought…” You wanted to climb into my bed!
Wei Xiao cleared his throat and hooked an arm around Yue Wenle’s
shoulder like a pair of good brothers, “You should’ve said it earlier; we’ll
be on the same team in the future. You can come look for me whenever you
want to solo. I can solo with you until you faint.”
Yue Wenle: “………” He could pass on the fainting.

As soon as Wei Xiao thought about how Yue Wenle had been trained by
Close for a year, his hands became incredibly itchy, “Why don’t we go have
a game now?”
Yue Wenle was instantly injected with chicken blood, “Let’s go…”
A cold voice sounded out from behind them, “He’s not free.”
Yue Wenle’s back felt cold, and he turned around to see his own captain
standing there.
Wei Xiao was regretful, “God Le, go do what you need to do.”
Lu Feng came over and stared at Wei Xiao, “You’re not free.”
Wei Xiao blinked, “What, what is there for me to do?” How come he didn’t
even know?
Lu Feng looked down at Soybean, “Do you want to look at your new living
quarters?”
Soybean was incredibly fascinated with Close. It was a very big dog, yet it
very much wanted to be hugged, “Arooo!”
What he said didn’t matter, it was enough for him to be attractive!
Wei Xiao recovered his wits, “Oh, right, I still have to move!”
Lu Feng: “What else is important in your apartment?”
Wei Xiao thought about it, “Computer, keyboard, mouse?”
Lu Feng: “They’ve all been prepared for you.”
Wei Xiao was very excited, but he held back and continued to think, “In
that case, I should still go get some clothing?” He gestured at what he was
currently wearing, “I can’t wear yours every day.”
Yue Wenle thought about the words he’d overheard that morning and
stumbled, “Since you’re busy, I’ll go and rank first.”
Wei Xiao let him go, “Okay, we have a lot of time ahead of us.”
Yue Wenle: “……”
He kept experiencing the cold feeling of being stared at by the other side’s
jungler king. Illusion, it must be an illusion!
Wei Xiao’s dormitory was next to Bai Cai’s.
Bai Cai also followed them up, thinking that if anything was missing, he
could get it from his own place and bring it over for Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao pushed the door open and Soybean rushed in first.
“It’s got everything!” Wei Xiao was surprised.
Bai Cai: “……” He’d been thinking too much. How could the Captain
allow this dormitory to be ‘missing anything’?
It was labelled a dormitory, but in fact, it was a simple small apartment.
The dormitories of the FTW team members were all like this. There was a
bedroom, a small living room, and a private washroom. The decorations
were thoughtful and comfortable.
Wei Xiao’s dormitory was a little different from Bai Cai’s and the rest.
His small flat had an additional dog living area. Not only was there a dog
kennel, various toys and even dog food had already been prepared.
Wei Xiao looked around and tsked, “Captain, you’ve been planning this for
a long time!”
This wasn’t something that could be prepared in one night. Close must have
had someone prepare the room in advance, waiting for him to come.
Lu Feng was noncommittal, “Mm.”
Wei Xiao was amused, “You prepared so thoroughly. What would you do if
I didn’t come?”
Lu Feng glanced at him, “Aren’t you here?”
Wei Xiao laughed even more cheerfully, “Sigh, I’m really not very
promising. You really caught me.”
You’re really damned self-aware. Also, could he leave now? He felt very
redundant!
There was a smile in Lu Feng’s eyes, “Go and see if anything’s missing.”
Wei Xiao entered the room and looked around. He was more and more
satisfied, “Nothing’s missing. My rent over there is just about to be due
again. It’s really like…”
He was about to say, everything is going smoothly, and they only needed to
wait for the start of the competition, but he suddenly remembered another
thing––
His boss!
His accompanying player business still had a boss he had to provide

services for.
The key characteristic of professional e-sports was that they were always
‘busy’.
There was no stopping even during the off-season, and once the matches
started, they could only wish that there were 48 hours a day, and all 48 of
those hours could be spent training.
How would Wei Xiao find time to play games with his boss?!
Wei Xiao wasn’t greedy for that two million yuan. He could return the
money and terminate the contract. It would be nothing more than a loss of
200,000 yuan to the accompanying player platform.
Although it would hurt, there was no other way. Life required one to make
choices.
However… the rather problematic thing was that the platform settled
accounts on a monthly basis. The two million yuan the boss had paid him
was still being held by the platform, and Wei Xiao hadn’t taken it out.
If he wanted to terminate the contract, he would have to return the two

million directly to the boss, and he didn’t have enough cash on hand.
The three million in his savings that he’d boasted to Bai Cai about before
had included the two million from the platform.
Wei Xiao asked Lu Feng, “There’s one thing. Can I withdraw my salary in
advance?”
He was a free player, and this signing fee was equivalent to an annual
salary. Logically speaking, it would be paid monthly and not given to him
all at once.
Lu Feng: “Yes. How much do you need?”
“Two million…” Wei Xiao thought of his own savings, and hurriedly
added, “One million is fine too!”
This amount wasn’t a small sum. Lu Feng asked, “What’s the problem?”
Bai Cai who’d been listening from the side suddenly understood. Damn it,
hadn’t the captain revealed his other identity yet?
He wanted to leave, he really wanted to slip away!
Wei Xiao paused for a moment and thought of his original lies. He was full
of regret.
Why did he have to pretend to be cool, why had he faked having a life, why
had he wanted to maintain his dignity? Now…
One lie had to be rounded out with 10 more!
Fortunately, his brain was nimble enough.
“Just… didn’t I say before, that I have a girlfriend.”
Lu Feng was a little stunned. Wei Xiao did indeed have a ‘girlfriend’. He
had two of them, and they were both him.
Wei Xiao sighed, “I’m now going to play professionally. There are no
relationships in e-sports, and I don’t want to drag her down, so I intend to
break up with her.”
Lu Feng understood.
Bai Cai also understood.
Wei Xiao continued, “I can’t break up just like that, so I thought that for
better or worse, I could compensate her with money.”
Bai Cai: “……” He was going to die when Wei Xiao learned the truth.
Wei Xiao cleared his throat, “Two million should be fine, right? In fact, we
haven’t been together for long…”
He was even able to pull all this together. Wei Xiao was impressed. He was
very much impressed by his own skill!
Lu Feng paused, then said, “There’s no need to break up.”
If Bai Cai hadn’t been holding onto the door, he would’ve fallen over!
Wei Xiao was stunned, “Ah?”

Lu Feng: “FTW advocates free love, as long as it doesn’t affect training.”
Wei Xiao was a little flustered, “Nonono, I’m dedicated to the

championship. There’s no room left for love.”
Lu Feng: “It’s fine. I’ll have finance transfer you two million. There’s no
need for a break up fee, but it can be considered an appeasement fee. Of
course, as to the specifics, you can arrange it yourself.”
Wei Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this.
Great, great. It was good that he could obtain the salary advance. He had to
hurry up and wrap up this matter, and never use a ‘girlfriend’ to act cool
again. It was too hard!
Lu Feng continued, “Then, take a look at what’s missing, and I’ll make
arrangements.”
He would go and contact the boss when the money came in.
At this time, this moment, Bai Cai really didn’t dare to face Wei Xiao and
also slipped out.
Bai Cai: “Captain…”
Lu Feng: “There hasn’t been time to explain.”
He’d originally used the ID LU to get Wei Xiao as an accompanying player

so that he could get closer to Wei Xiao and understand why he’d left the
professional arena.
Now that he’d come back, there was no need to hide.
It was just that he hadn’t had a chance to say it before Wei Xiao came up
with this new move.
Bai Cai’s brain hurt, “Don’t say it for now. I’m begging you not to explain
it!”
Bai Cai gave him an analysis, “If you tell him, he’ll stab me to death with a
knife. That’s a small problem. The big problem is that he’ll pester you to
solo for 10 days and 10 nights!”
Lu Feng: “……” This was a possibility.
Lu Feng also started to have a headache, “Take it slowly.”
It was indeed very inconvenient to explain. If it was all explained clearly, he

was afraid that Wei Xiao would be embarrassed enough to run away again.
It hadn’t been easy to coax him back. He’d first let things settle.
That night, FTW’s official blog issued an announcement––FTW welcomed

Quiet to the team.
As soon as this Weibo post went out, the Glory circle exploded in minutes.
There were hundreds of comments per second in the discussion area, and
they were all asking who Quiet was.
Soon, someone shared some general knowledge, “The grandmaster, it must

be the grandmaster!”
After that, the Close who hadn’t gone onto Weibo for a long time forwarded
this message. The accompanying text was simple, one word––Welcome.
This was enough, it was enough for the fans to all spiral up to the heavens!
Wei Xiao’s Weibo account had already been set up. He forwarded Close’s
message, and his content was also very simple, “Hello everyone, I’m
FTW.Quiet.”
In the comments, Bai Cai, Yue Wenle, and Ning Zhehan all left messages
one after another.
A large number of FTW fans, anti-fans, and the Glory circle’s professional
haters all rushed over at the speed of light. Quiet’s Weibo fan count rose up
like a rocket, and the number of comments and forwards was enough to
send him up to the hot search list at any minute.
What made the Glory circle explode on the spot was––
In the China competition zone, numerous professional players had also

come to leave messages.
The messages they left were neat and orderly.
RR.Moonlit: ^_^
TPT.Eurostar: ^_^
3U:Asleep: ^_^
……
……
Beneath this batch of heaven shaking IDs were the fans’ explosion.
“My god, I seem to have seen a knife hidden in the smile!”
“How is it a hidden knife? It’s clearly an explosive!”
“This powerful resentment… The grandmaster has no way to run. This

Quiet is the One Lamp Grandmaster that abused his way through our China
Glory circle!”
The real trash talk came at the end.
Wei Xiao posted another Weibo message, “My live broadcast studio ID:
7758521, premiering the day after tomorrow. Not playing ranked games,
it’ll be solo the whole way. Everyone is welcome to come take their
revenge. Nobody who comes will be refused.” After that, he even @ all the
professional players who’d left messages on his previous post.
Juurensha: Just digging holes all the way down….. xiin: ^_^
Ch29.1 - He doesn’t want to break
up with you?
After dropping such a huge bomb, Wei Xiao closed the page for his Weibo
and went to double queue with Bai Cai.
The comments on Weibo seemed to roil up like boiling water, the entire pot
exploding.
“That’s so awesome!”
“How arrogant, he directly tossed down the gauntlet!”
“Go go go! Moon God, go and get him!”
“Shoot shoot shoot! Euro God, go and shoot him dead!”
“Stab stab stab! Sleep God, go and stab him through!”
“Why is this batch of fans so improper? They’re all making it perverted at

the slightest provocation!”
There were also ‘rational’ fans who analyzed, “It’s unclear what level this
new top-laner of FTW is at, but he does know how to build up hype for
himself.”
“But that’ll depend on whether or not he has any support.”
“I bet 10 yuan that not a single person will go to his studio the day after
tomorrow!”
“Only fools would go. They’re all worth tens of millions, why would they
go and play around with a newcomer?”
“But he’s yelling like this. If the people he @’s don’t agree to fight, won’t it
seem like they’re scared?”
The anti-fans immediately picked up the conversation, “Isn’t the Chinese

Glory circle known outside as the coward circle? Being scared is normal.
It’s all a group of fools who get smeared into the ground by foreigners!”
“FTW’s new top-laner isn’t anything to be excited about. If he has the

ability to be a terror at home, then he should go outside and mess with the
foreign players!”
“If he had that level of ability, would he need to intimidate the Glory circle?
He would’ve gone off to join the foreign powers a long time ago.”
Wei Xiao didn’t read the comments, but FTW’s PR team was paying close
attention.
Xiang Liu looked at the skyrocketing Weibo fan count and forwards and
sighed emotionally, “If nothing else, Quiet’s commercial value is absolutely
amazing.”
He hadn’t even made his official debut, yet his popularity had already
reached the skies. The live broadcasting platform had already sent over a
representative to discuss the promotion for the first broadcast the day after
tomorrow…
Which rookie’s live broadcast had ever obtained this kind of treatment?
It was really unprecedented!
However, Xiang Liu felt that this was only a small start. The bigger
‘surprises’ were yet to come.
After signing Wei Xiao, Xiang Liu had already stocked up on quick-acting
heart-saving pills.
Not only for himself, but also for the FTW management team…
Wei Xiao and Bai Cai had just finished two matches, and Bai Cai disdained
him, “Go away, don’t queue with me anymore!”
Wei Xiao felt aggrieved, “Old Bai, you’ve changed. You weren’t like this
before!”
Bai Cai rolled his eyes, “You’re a damned top-laner. How can you come
and escort laozi like this? Laozi is a support and can’t follow a top-laner
like you!”
Wei Xiao sighed, “The top lane is bitter, it’s cold, it’s as lonely as the winter
snow, ah.”
Bai Cai: “I’m going to go find Old Yue. Play by yourself!”
Wei Xiao waved his hand, “I won’t send you off, you unfaithful man.”
Bai Cia’s mouth twitched. He thought to himself: Sooner or later, your

mouth will get you into deadly trouble!
Wei Xiao was just about to solo queue when he saw that LU was online.
Wei Xiao, who’d just received two million, hurriedly poked LU: “Boss?”
LU: “Here.”
Wei Xiao didn’t waste time on nonsense either. He explained his intentions
and sent over a bunch of sorry emoticons while he was at it.
Although he was offering to refund the money in full, at the end of the day,
he’d still broken their agreement.
If the boss could spend two million yuan for an accompanying player, then
they definitely weren’t short on money.
Giving someone who wasn’t short on money more money couldn’t really be
considered compensation.
LU paused for a moment and typed, “Congratulations.”

This one word warmed Wei Xiao’s heart, “Boss, you’re such a nice
person!”
He was about to break their agreement, yet the boss was actually concerned
about his career. This person was really a rich, good person!
Wei Xiao quickly followed up, “Give me an account number, and I’ll return
the money to you.”
LU: “No need.”
Wei Xiao: “???”
LU: “Keep playing games with me.”
Wei Xiao was stunned, then explained patiently, “Professional players have
to train almost every day. I’m afraid…”
LU: “Not even half an hour a day?”
LU: “Three or four games a week is also fine.”
Wei Xiao’s fingers landed on his cell phone, but he couldn’t seem to type.
He looked at Bai Cai nearby, “Old Bai!”
Bai Cai looked over quite seriously, “Ah?”
Wei Xiao was incredibly moved, “My boss is too nice. He’s really too nice.
Look at what he said. If I were a girl, I’d definitely marry him and take him
home!”
Bai Cai’s hand trembled, and he ended up sending his own jungler out to
die in a first blood kill.
Wei Xiao had already started reading it out loud, “Look at what he said…
Not even half an hour a day? Or every week…”
Bai Cai knew some truths that he shouldn’t be aware of at his age. It was
too hard being him!
Wei Xiao: “What should I do? I can’t bear to refuse him.”
Bai Cai had just died in the game, so he simply turned around to look at
him, “I don’t get you.”
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
Bai Cai asked the question that had been lurking in his heart, “Your boss
already said that he was a man. Why did you have to tell the captain about a
girlfriend?”
F*ck, don’t be so heartless, you little fool!
Wei Xiao replied honestly, “Isn’t it just that I wanted to maintain my dignity
until death and now, I have to suffer terribly for my wrongs?”
Bai Cai just knew that this fellow had a crappy character!
Wei Xiao was on the alert, “Don’t tell the captain, hey. Laozi can’t win
against him in solo games. Can’t I just find something else to win against
him with?”
Bai Cai sneered, “You want to win against him in terms of love life?”
Wei Xiao cleared his throat, “It’s well known in the circle that Close has
been single for 21 years, yet I have a beautiful and sensible, oh, and rich,
girlfriend at 19. Isn’t it cool?”
Cool, it’ll be cool when you cry!
Bai Cai ignored him. “I’m ranking. Stop disturbing me!”
Wei Xiao just wanted to show off his boss and didn’t actually want him to
give any suggestions.
Wei Xiao typed to LU: “That’s not fair to you.”

LU: “No, I’m also very busy and don’t have much time to play games.”
Wei Xiao increasingly felt that the boss was a nice person, “How about this,
I’ll refund you the money, and I’ll take you to go up in the rankings
whenever I have time!”
They could just be friends. Money wasn’t important.
LU: “That’s too much work for you.”
Wei Xiao: “That’s okay, isn’t it just taking friends to rank up?”
LU: “Friends?”
Wei Xiao: “Yes, let’s be friends!”
LU: “Okay.”
Wei Xiao was happy, “Then, give me your account number, and I’ll transfer
you the money.”
LU: “Didn’t you say we’re friends?”
LU: “If we’re friends, then don’t talk about money.”
Wei Xiao: “???”
LU: “Talking about money hurts feelings.”
Wei Xiao: “??????”
His boss’s logic…
Was possessed by a ghost!
LU: “Let’s leave it at that. I have work to do, I’m going off.”
Wei Xiao: “Hey…”
Unfortunately, the profile image of the other party had already turned dark.
He’d really never expected that he, Wei Xiaoxiao, who could get others to
do what he wanted on a daily basis, had actually ended up falling for
someone else’s trickery today.
The key point was that this trick…
It seemed to have been stuffed full of marshmallows?
Wei Xiao had no moves left to use and went upstairs to find Lu Feng.
Lu Feng was just heading downstairs, and the two met head-on.
Wei Xiao’s tone was thoughtful, “Captain…”
Lu Feng: “Yes?”
Wei Xiao: “It’s like this… my girlfriend doesn’t want the money.”
F*ck, he’d just said that he wouldn’t use this girlfriend to act cool, yet here
he was, with an even fiercer act!
Lu Feng’s lips curved almost imperceptibly. “He doesn’t want to break up

with you?”
Wei Xiao acted abashed, “Yes! She said that it was fine even if I can only
play three or four games with her a week.”
Lu Feng: “You’ve got quite some charm.”
Wei Xiao: “Sigh, it’s because I was born handsome…”
Lu Feng laughed, “Alright, don’t break up if you can’t bear to. The club
doesn’t prohibit its members from dating.”
Wei Xiao was torn, “But I don’t think it’s fair to her.”
Lu Feng: “If they’re happy, then it doesn’t matter.”
Lu Feng continued, “Besides, it’s off-season. You can spend more time
accompanying them.”
Wei Xiao thought about it. That made sense!
Lu Feng continued, “Even if the season starts, you’ll have enough free time.
Just arrange things well.”
With that said, Wei Xiao’s thoughts suddenly cleared up.
He was the one who had overthought it. The boss was also a busy person.
He felt that he was wronging the boss by only playing three or four games
with him a week, but if he thought about it carefully, they’d known each
other for a while now, and it seemed that they hadn’t played that many
games in total…
However, according to this progress, if they wanted to finish playing ten

thousand games…
Well… if all else failed, he could accompany him to play until he didn’t
want to play, or couldn’t play anymore.
If there was still money left by then, he would just give it back!
In short, he would never let the boss suffer a loss.
Wei Xiao was no longer caught up on it. He was very grateful to Lu Feng,
“Captain, you’re really my spiritual mentor!”
The knot in his heart from two years ago was undone by Lu Feng.
Now, even the boss’s business was solved with the captain’s help.
He was really worthy of being number one in the world. Powerful!

Lu Feng tried to press down the corner of his lips that wanted to curve up,
“Anything else?”
Wei Xiao was a typical genius who knew when to continue climbing up the
pole, “To be honest, there’s a little stain on my mind that needs your
spiritual mentorship to help wash clean.”
Fearing that Lu Feng would run away, Wei Xiao spoke quickly, “It’s just a
small stain, a very small one. Captain, if you solo with me for two games,
no, three games, it’ll be as clear as it was at the start.”
Lu Feng: “Did you win a regular season match?”
Lu Feng: “Did you win the playoffs?”
Lu Feng flicked his forehead, “Go 5v5.”
Wei Xiao was unwilling and followed behind him, saying, “Captain, I have
a problem!”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “Really! I have a big problem and only you can save me.”
Lu Feng’s mood was like he was listening to a single person cross talk,
“How so?”
xiin: Captain! I have a problem! Why is Wei Xiaoxiao so hilarious?!?!

Ch29.2 - Bloody History~
Wei Xiao hurriedly explained how he’d made a post full of trash talk on
Weibo and put on a pitiful act, “They’ll definitely charge in like crazy and
take turns to f*ck with me. I’m going to end up abused into tears!”
Lu Feng had seen his Weibo post a long time ago and narrowed his eyes at
him, “You can be abused into tears?”
He hadn’t even made him cry yet. How could anyone else do so?
Wei Xiaoxiao redoubled his efforts, “That’s very possible. Captain, think
about it. When I abused them before, they were all cubs from a reserve
team or even the youth training camp. Now, they’re all starters in their
teams, star players who have had a lot of experience in competitions. Who
knows how many times their level has gone up!”
“As for me,” Wei Xiao was about to get some eye drops to fake tears, “I’ve
left for two years, and had to rely on abusing noobs for a living every day.
I’ve made no progress!”
Those abused ‘noobs’ would really want to kill him if they heard this.
Lu Feng really wavered for a moment.
Wei Xiao continued to pour oil to the fire, “Captain, not only is this helping
me, it’s also helping our FTW. If I get abused tragically, it’s FTW’s
reputation that will be affected!” Of course, he was actually very confident
about winning. Whoever it was, other than Close, they were all his little
brothers.
However, Wei Xiao didn’t mind putting on a little brother act in order to
wheedle some solo matches out of Lu Feng.
Wei Xiao looked pitiful, “Captain~!” He dragged out the last syllable.
Wei Xiao clasped his hands together, “Please!”
Lu Feng turned around and headed to the double training room.
How could Wei Xiao not understand what that meant? He slid in like a
slippery fish, then locked the door behind them immediately.
Wei Xiao laughed sheepishly, “Don’t even think of leaving through this
door tonight.”
For a moment, Lu Feng’s hands felt a little itchy.
On the other side, Yue Wenle, who’d just finished all his training, headed to
the #2 training room with four big bags of chips.
Ning Zhehan had just come out. He saw this and asked, “Brother Le,
you’re…”
Yue Wenle carefully set the chips on the table, and deliberately tore open a
pack. He chomped on a chip before saying, “I’m waiting for Wei Xiao.”
Ning Zhehan blinked, “Solo?”
Yue Wenle: “Yes.”
Ning Zhehan was shocked, “Did you guys… make an appointment?”
“No.” Yue Wenle denied, but he was very certain, “He will come find me.”
Little Ning was puzzled, “Why?”
Yue Wenle was full of confidence, “He tossed down all that trash talk on
Weibo and blew up half the Glory circle. For the sake of the solo games the
day after tomorrow, he’ll definitely find someone to warm up with.”
There was no doubt that it would be him!
Yue Wenle looked at him, “What?”
Ning Zhehan was very reluctant, but he could only tell the truth, “Just…
Just now, I… saw the captain and Brother Wei soloing.”
Crackle––
The chips in Old Yue’s hand instantly turned bland!
Only Wei Xiaoxiao knew how awesome that night had really been.
He felt extremely grateful for the fact that there were so many professional
players in the Glory circle. He named them one by one, and had Lu Feng
use the heroes they were famous for to solo with him one after another.
In the end…
Lu Feng looked at him, “Who else?”
Wei Xiao had really named every starter in Glory that he could think of
once already.
“There’s, there’s more!”
It was only 12 o’clock. He wanted to continue!
Lu Feng: “Name.”
Wei Xiao almost broke his head apart trying to think and finally popped out
with a name, “Bai Cai!”
Lu Feng: “………”
Wei Xiao turned shameless, “Captain, you can’t look down on Brother Cai.
Brother Cai is the top support in China, the famous and lofty God Bai!”
Lu Feng shifted his shoulders, “He’s next door. I’ll go call him over for
you.”
Wei Xiao: “Hey…”
Lu Feng looked at him, “Solo properly and don’t lose to Bai Cai.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
Who would want to solo with Bai Cai the Idle?!
Brother Cai, who was improving his relationship with Soybean, “Achoo…”
Soybean: “Ao!”
Brother Cai stroked it, “Nine out of ten chances your dad is talking shit
about me.”
Finally, FTW.Quiet ushered in the first live broadcast of his career.
The Strawberry platform sent out wave after wave of publicity, but in fact,
there was no need to promote it. Countless fans were already crouching in
the live broadcast room, waiting to watch the show.
A newcomer, a newbie who nobody had ever seen and didn’t know what he
looked like, actually had such a high level of influence.
This could be recorded in the history of Glory!
Not only in China. Even across the 16 competition zones, there was nobody
else who had ever accomplished this!
It was time for the start of the broadcast. Wei Xiao’s expression was steady
and extremely calm, but Bai Cai, who was watching from the side, was
really nervous.
Goddamn, when it came to heart and guts, there really were different sizes.
Usually, Bai Cai felt that he had enough guts, but when compared with this
beast, he felt like his heart was the size of the eye of a needle!
Wei Xiao turned on the mic, “Is there sound?”
The scrolling comments exploded in a flash, “Oh, your voice is so nice.”
“It seems very young.”
“The grandmaster actually turned out to be a little brother!”
“You guys always call him grandmaster this and grandmaster that; I thought
he was very old…”
Some female fans began to wonder, “God Q, can you turn the video~” His
voice was nice to listen to, and they were curious about how he looked.
Wei Xiao: “I’d better not.”
As a front-line team in the Glory circle, FTW had a lot of anti-fans. At this
time, they all rushed forth to light their cannons, “It seems he’s ugly.”
“An ugly daughter-in-law still has to meet her mother-in-law. Turn on the
camera, you’ll have to show up on the court sooner or later.”
What kind of big move had Wei Xiao not seen before? When he flamed
people, the anti-fans could only shiver and tremble in fear.
Of course, he was now a professional player and had to pay attention to

being civilized and literate.
Wei Xiao: “Mostly, I’m afraid that if I turn on the video, you guys won’t
watch me solo anymore.”
The scrolling comments were abruptly full of ellipsis.

Wei Xiao continued lazily, “Think about it, so many players want to clear
up their shame, yet in the end, you’re all staring at my face. That wouldn’t
be good, right?”
He answered his own question, “No, that definitely wouldn’t be good.”
It didn’t matter if they were hardcore fans, anti-fans, or passers-by. All of

them: “………………”
Had FTW bought back a top-laner or a trash talk king?
Wei Xiao had only just logged into the game when he received a lot of
friend requests.
If one wanted to solo it was more convenient to add the other person as a
friend first.
The fans who’d originally thought that no professional players would be

affected by his challenge were all left with their mouths open in shock…
RR.Moonlit requested to add you as a friend.
TPT.Eurostar requested to add you as a friend.
3U.Asleep requested to add you as a friend.
…………
…………
They were all f*cking here!
Were the managers of all the major clubs crazy? Couldn’t they control their
own players?
Don’t say it…
They really couldn’t control them.

Last night.
At the RR base, Manager Chen was begging bitterly, “Yueyue, can you not
go to the live broadcast studio tomorrow?”
Moonlit sneered, “The challenge gauntlet has all but hit me in the face. You
want me not to go?”
Manager Chen had seen the ‘replay video’ before, “A mid-lane position
isn’t good at solo, and you also don’t focus on it much. What if you lose?”
Mage king Yue was incredibly fierce, “Am I afraid of losing?”
Manager Chen: “………”
You might not be afraid, but I am!
Moonlit was very harsh to himself, “If I lose, I’ll add two hours of training
for myself every day.”
Manager Chen: “Emmm....”
Moonlit poked straight at his heart, “And add ten hours of live broadcast
time every month.”
Manager Chen: “Deal!”
TPT base.
Coach Old Wang: “You don’t want to play marksman anymore?”
Eurostar had been a very good top-laner back then, but because he’d been
hammered into seclusion by the grandmaster, he’d switched to the bottom
lane. Now…
Eurostar looked calm, like an old meditative monk. “It’s precisely because
I’ve switched to marksman that I have to face him.”
Old Wang: “I heard that his thief is the strongest. The thief has a natural
advantage over archers. Aren’t you just rushing over to offer your head up
on a silver platter?”
Eurostar sighed, “If I don’t send it over now, could it be that I should wait
until we’re on the court? I have to adapt to the fact that FTW is about to
have two demon kings.”
Old Wang: “……”
This was too sad and pitiful, he couldn’t bear to dissuade him!
3U base.
Asleep: “Zzzz…”
Manager Zhou looked at his team captain who was sleeping so soundly that
not even his eyelashes were quivering, “About that…”
3U’s vice-captain: “The captain said he’s going. He must go.”
There were two unsolved mysteries in the 3U team: #1, why could their
captain sleep so much, yet still be so strong; #2, how their vice-captain
could translate the words from their dreaming captain so accurately.
Not only did the outside world not understand, even the 3U team’s internal
members didn’t get it!
A large number of star players all ‘reported in’, and the popularity of the
live broadcast was reaching official playoff levels!
The passers-by were taken by surprise when they saw it and even
wondered, “What… is it time for the Glory playoffs?”
It hadn’t started, but this was no less exciting than a regular competition!
Wei Xiao accepted the friend requests one after another. After accepting
over a dozen of them, the last one blinded the entire audience of the live
broadcast room.
L&P.Marshal requested to add you as a friend.
In a flash, the scrolling comments went so crazy that the Strawberry

platform could barely bear the load.
“Holy shit! It’s the North American competition zone’s L&P’s Yuan Ze!”
“The global champion of ‘19, global runner up of ‘20. How could this
person who has his name in the Temple of Glory appear here!”
“It’s fake, right? It must be fake!”
“How could it be? Glory has certified the IDs of all registered professional
players. Ordinary players can’t use that name even if they wanted to!”
“It really is God Yuan!”
“What ‘God Yuan’? He’s a national traitor!”
As a Chinese citizen who had led a foreign team to blow up his own
competition zone, Yuan Ze had enough anti-fans circle the Earth three times
over.
A man with such a bloody history actually appeared here! The live
broadcast studio was really going to explode.
Juurensha: Hahaha, the Asleep team captain seems fun. And poor Yue,
always alone with his chips. xiin: WX’s trash talk, full marks!
Ch30.1 - FTW, there’s something
wrong with your script!
Wei Xiao certainly noticed this friend request, but he directly ignored it and
skipped to the next one as he explained, “On my Weibo post yesterday, I
said I wouldn’t reject anyone, so I didn’t reject it, but I don’t like Marshal
and won’t accept it.”
The anti-fans: “…………”
They’d all originally wanted to flame him, but their ammunition failed to
explode.
Wei Xiao’s move was really brilliant: If he accepted it, he’d have been
labelled as a ‘spy for the outside’, and Yuan Ze’s haters would’ve flamed
him all the way up to heaven; if he rejected it, he’d be labelled with
‘Chinese scaredy cat’, and FTW’s haters would’ve sent him up to heaven.
Now, he chose to ignore it.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of some ‘spy for the outside’ or ‘Chinese
scaredy cat’ label. He simply didn’t like Yuan Ze, and he’d said he wouldn’t
refuse anyone who came, so he hadn’t rejected the friend application.
Following the literal meaning and still containing a subtle criticism within,
he managed to completely sidestep the situation. Even the haters had to
admit that this kid not only had amazing trash talk, but his ability to manage
situations was also pretty good.
After dealing with the friend requests, Wei Xiao was now in a good mood.
It was great playing professionally!

Having people send themselves over for solo matches while streaming was
a much better feeling than being the grandmaster behind the scenes!
Wei Xiao was a little excited.
He went back to the matching room and received a lot of applications.
“Let’s go in order. Let me see who came first…”
The people in the scrolling comments had also noticed this and instantly
became excited, “F*ck! It’s God Le!”
“Oh, f*ck me, grandmaster, you’re really amazing. You have enough
enemies to grow a forest outside, and still have hostility at home.”
“God Le, God Le, have you also been abused by the grandmaster before?!”
Yue Wenle sat across from Wei Xiao. He crunched on his chips and said,
“It’s not that I’ve been abused. It’s that I’ve been abused to tears.”
He didn’t lower his voice, and Wei Xiao’s mic caught his voice very clearly,
transmitting each and every word to the audience.
The live broadcast room’s scrolling comments changed tone again, “Holy
shit! This resentment!”
“Damn, how does my Lele cry? Hurry and cry for your big sister to hear!”
“Fellow sisters, I think FTW has a new CP!”
“This is quite nice to chew on, indeed.”
In addition to the lovely girls, there were naturally also people who were
sneering cynically, “FTW is really going for it, they’re lifting up this
newcomer at the expense of the old.”
“Old Yue, switch teams. FTW isn’t treating you like a human, what are you
staying there for?!”
“Old Yue, if you’re being threatened, just blink…”
If there weren’t that many scrolling comments, he could pick out a few to
respond to, but in this scenario with thousands of comments, he couldn’t
even read them all, and there was no need to reply.
Wei Xiao poked his head out to look at Yue Wenle, “Coming?”
Yue Wenle’s tone was dark, “I’ve been waiting for you for two days.”
Wei Xiao was ashamed, “It’s been busy.”
Yue Wenle shredded the chips: Really busy. So busy with the captain that
you don’t know what time of the day it is!
These words couldn’t be said, so the aggrieved Yue Wenle put forth a
request, “Use the thief.”
Wei Xiao was surprised, “……” His lips moved, and his mouth formed the
words, “I’m streaming, what about your dignity?”
Yue Wenle somehow actually understood, “You have to use the thief!”
Wei Xiao had always been good tempered with his own people, “Okay,
okay, okay.”
Needless to say, the CP party on the scrolling comments were already

standing up and cheering!
The two clear, youthful voices were clean and pure. Adding in God Le’s
bright and tender baby face, as long as Quiet looked even reasonably
attractive… Damn, how tasty!
Some viewers were analyzing the situation rationally, “FTW’s newcomer is

a top-laner, right? Could it be that he’s also good with the thief?”
“That’s normal, there are a few talent specs for thieves that can be used for
the top lane.”
“Hurry up! Hurry up! We want to watch a homicide!”
The other newcomers would also be supported by their teammates when

they made their debut after joining a team, but they were very different
from Wei Xiao. The others were cute newbies who double queued with
their older team members and cooperated harmoniously in an atmosphere as
sweet as honey. As for FTW––
Resentment, bitter hatred, and an eagerness for revenge.
It was different, it was different, it was really very different!
The first game began. When Yue Wenle chose the ice hunter, the audience
made an ‘Oh-ho’ sound.
It was full of killing intent! Yue Wenle’s resentment must be real. He really
wanted to fight to the death with Wei Xiao!
In the China Glory circle, the ice hunter was basically permanently linked
with Yue Wenle himself. In 5v5’s BP process, in a situation where they
were unable to target the great demon king, they could only target FTW’s
double c-positions.
In a show of respect, Yue Wenle’s ice hunter stayed in the Ban position all
year round, and he was never allowed to use it.
These so-called famous heroes all seemed to carry an aura with them. The
ice hunter that Yue Wenle played was different from other ice hunters.
However…
Thieves had a natural advantage over hunters!
Even if the ice hunter had a deceleration bonus that could slow down the
close-combat thief, there were no teammates in a solo game. How could the
ice hunter develop in the early stages?
Just when the spectators thought that Wei Xiao would suppress Yue Wenle
like crazy in the early stage and take away his chance to develop so that the
entire match would end in 10 minutes…
Wei Xiao actually gave up the entire early stage.
The shadow thief vs the ice hunter in a solo game––
In the early stages, the shadow thief was the daddy and could casually mess
with the ice hunter until it couldn’t even stand up. However, once it dragged
on to the later stage of the game, and the ice hunter’s godly equipment was
in place, it became the real ancestor.
One arrow from the ice hunter could shoot through ten thieves, got it?
If the thief wasn’t able to grasp the advantage in the early stages, they could
do nothing but wait for death in the later stages.
The scrolling comments sighed, “I thought that this grandmaster was

amazing, but that’s all he’s got. He’s playing a thief, yet he’s so restrained in
the early stages. What’s the point of a solo match? When the ice hunter’s
equipment is in place, he’ll be able to shoot him dead with a single arrow.”
“His reputation was so overblown, yet he messed up in the first round?”
“And he’s even losing to his own teammate? FTW, there’s something wrong
with your script!”
“Let’s go, let’s go. What bullshit is this grandmaster, he just has a name and
nothing else.”
It had been 15 minutes since the start of the match, and it was now at a very
critical point. Yue Wenle’s ice hunter had saved up enough for three pieces
of equipment. When the Q skill was used, it would be able to insta-kill the
shadow thief…
The winner and loser were already determined; that was what everyone who
watched the live broadcast believed.
Wei Xiao curved his lips, “Now, it’s fair.”

After saying these words, he went invisible with a light arc. While nobody
else had yet reacted, seven light arcs covered the ice hunter’s head. The ice
hunter used flash to no avail and ended up thoroughly dead.
The scrolling comments were stunned for half a second, and then followed
up with a screen full of f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck!
“Seven light arcs, amazing!”
“This little brother really has some skill???”
“Then what was he doing in the early stage? Picking flowers in the jungle?”
“He just said that now it’s fair. Could it be that he was waiting for the ice
hunter to develop before he started fighting?”
“F*ck… that’s too arrogant!”
For the next six or seven minutes, it was a total one-sided massacre.
There was no need to mention the ice hunter in the canyon. Even the
onlookers were practically crying.
What the hell was this!
Where had this crazy thief come from?!
This… this…
In the first 15 minutes of the game, the thief had clearly been unable to
suppress the ice hunter, but now that it was at the stage where the ice hunter
should be stronger, the ice hunter was instead forced to the ground and
smeared all over the ground.
Victory!
Wei Xiao won.
The scrolling comments were full of, “Feeling heartache for God Le.”
“Lele, don’t cry.”
“They must have switched people in the second half of the match! It was
Close playing for him, right?”
Wei Xiao ignored the scrolling comments and stretched out his head to look
at Yue Wenle, “God Le?”
He hadn’t shown any mercy and was now a little afraid that Yue Wenle
would go into seclusion.
Yue Wenle was dazed for a moment. “Beast.”
Wei Xiao: “Cough.”
He seemed fine.
Yue Wenle collapsed back into his chair, “Goddamn, it’s fortunate that laozi
is in FTW.”
He suddenly understood Eurostar’s mood. As a marksman, it was very

common for him to get beaten up and cut down in team games. He used to
look down on Eurostar’s careful manner; what was there to be afraid of?
Wasn’t it just getting cut to death?
Now, he had had his memory refreshed and remembered the fear of being
dominated by the devil.
Fortunately, he was in FTW. If he was in any other team, he would want to

die if he encountered Wei Xiao, and there was no need to even mention Lu
Feng…
Was Eurostar a fool? Wasn’t he happy being in the top lane? Why had he
switched to the bottom lane?!
Wei Xiao saw that Yue Wenle was in good condition and was relieved as he
continued his broadcast, “Reasonably speaking, in a solo match, I only
know of two people who can use the ice hunter to kill the shadow thief.”
The scrolling comments went wild, “Close!”
Wei Xiao: “Yes, Close can do it.”
Scrolling comments: “Who is the other one?”
Everyone was speculating, but they didn’t think it was very likely. In
regular single player competitions, heroes were chosen at random, but the
talents were up to the players. Even if it was randomized to hunter vs thief,
nobody would choose ice against shadow. It was just like giving up the
competition.
Wei Xiao laughed lightly and answered, “Me.”
Scrolling comments: “???”
Wei Xiao explained patiently, “Other than Close, I’m the only other person
who can win in a solo match by killing the ice hunter with a shadow thief.”
Scrolling comments: “……………………”
Grandmaster, can you be a little less shameless!
Wei Xiao continued, “Alright. Let’s make a new rule. For the sake of
fairness, I’ll use the same hero and talent as anyone who comes to solo
against me.”
As soon as his words came out, the audience went even crazier.
Fair?
How the f*ck was this called ‘fair’?
Others would bring the heroes they were famous for to solo against him.
Shouldn’t he be kneeling and calling them daddy?
Did he think he was Close and could do it all when it came to solo?
Wake up, there wouldn’t be another Close in the Glory circle for a hundred
years!

Ch30.2 - Oh, and I’m even sleeping
with the captain
The next player to play was RR’s Moonlit, the China competition zone’s
first-class mid-laner. His assassin-type mages were godly, and he was RR’s
well-deserved core player.
It wasn’t that there weren’t other teams in China that took its mid-laner as
their core, but there hadn’t been any as domineering as RR in the 2020
competition arena.
He could give a squishy mage the same aura as an assassin jungler. There
was no doubt about Moonlit’s level of skill.
The audience was very delighted as soon as they saw that it was Moonlit.
“Grandmaster, don’t talk nonsense. You’ll use whatever Moon God uses?”
“I don’t think that Moon God will use the warlock. It would be too easy to
win that way.”
“The immortal warlock! Begging Moon God to use the immortal warlock!
Explode the grandmaster’s dog head!”
Warlocks had quite a few talent specs that were of the mage-assassin
variety. They were very suitable for assaulting the middle lane and were
also very reliable in solo matches. This was particularly the case for the
immortal warlock, whose ultimate move was called ‘fly into the clouds’.
This move relied completely on the player’s level of skill; after flying up,
not only could it cause explosive damage, it would also make the hero
immune to nearly 70% of the nearby damage. It belonged to the hero types
who had explosive damage but also had a very high skill requirement.
Ordinary players could also use it to burst out with damage, but it was
absolutely impossible for them to fly up whenever and however they
wanted.
Moonlit’s immortal warlock was the benchmark for the industry. There was
one time in a team fight that he had flown up and never come back down
again, playing out amazing moves until he made the other side’s five
players all go into seclusion.
“Give it up. If Moon God uses the immortal warlock, won’t it just be like
bullying children?”
“I also think that he won’t use it. Quiet is obviously a top-laner. If he uses
the immortal warlock, he might not even be able to fly.”
“But, I really want to see a solo match between two immortal warlocks. It’ll
be amazing and beautiful; I’ll love the immortal warlock my whole life!”
Moonlit’s temperament had always been direct. He didn’t say anything and
entered the game, then selected the immortal warlock.
“F*ck! It’s really the immortal warlock!”
“He’s taking it so seriously!”
“No way… did Moonlit hear the grandmaster’s crazy words? Could it be
that he’s really going to use the immortal warlock for revenge?”
“This revenge seems to be a little easy to get?”
Simple?
The crowd of professional players who knew the truth: Haha, naive.
Wei Xiao also selected the immortal warlock and said, “Fortunately, I
played it for a while the other night. Otherwise, I’m afraid I might not be
able to find the feel for it.”
It was true that this kind of explosive hero was very much based on feel.
Even for Moonlit, if he didn’t use the immortal warlock for a few days in a
row, he may not be able to play out such extreme moves.
However, for Wei Xiao to say these words…
Sorry, but the audience in the scrolling comments just wanted to mock him!
“Played it for a while? Little brother, I’m afraid you won’t be able to find
the feeling even if you tried for two years.”
“It’s here, it’s here. Waiting for my Moon God’s face slapping.”
“Show him what’s what, I believe in Moon God’s immortal warlock!”
“I’m betting on Moon God this game. If he loses, I’ll gift ten rockets!”
“It’s on, it’s on, laozi will give ten shallow water bombs!”
Wei Xiao glanced at this enthusiastic gift-giving army and said, “Oh, right,
there’s a bonus for the first live broadcast. If I lose I’ll release a 50,000
yuan red envelope for everyone.”
The audience: “……”
FTW was really rich!
The game began.
This solo match was more exciting than the previous one.
Immortal warlocks didn’t need to develop and could start fighting from the
beginning of the match. It was a little difficult without their ultimate move,
but this was a hero that could shuttle back and forth amidst the small
soldiers as long as he had the Q skill.
It was just that without the bonus from the ultimate move, the damage
output would be very low. However, if one was able to jump around
continuously, the accumulated damage was also quite terrible.
In theory, the Q skill could be used continuously as long as the positioning
was done well.
Of course, this wasn’t something that ordinary players could do. There also
weren’t many professional players who could use it continuously.
The upper limit allowed by the game was high enough, but how far it could
go was dependent on the player’s skills.
In just two minutes, the scrolling comments seemed to have been purified.
All the voices mocking the grandmaster were gone.
Amazing, really amazing, incredibly amazing!
The two immortal warlocks flew here and there, and it was so f*cking
dazzling!
“Is my Moon God normally able to fly so much?”
“How come I remember that Moon God’s highest record was a 67 combo?
Now…”
“He’s broken the record, broken the record! Moon God’s broken his own
record!”
“But the problem is, the grandmaster hasn’t stopped either!”
“Scary… too scary. The gods are fighting!”
“This solo is worth it, Moonlit is playing extraordinarily well!”
“Really! I haven’t seen Moonlit operate like this on the court!”
This was the charm of the competition. If one could encounter an equal
opponent, then it could inspire 200% of one’s strength.
During those years while Wei Xiao was a training partner, the reason why
so many players couldn’t forget him was that soloing with him allowed
them to grow.
The growth was at a rate visible to the naked eye.
It might be painful, they might cry, but once they tenaciously passed
through the grandmaster’s hands, almost all of these players ended up at the
forefront of the professional e-sports arena.
Moon God, Eurostar, Asleep…
There was a reason why they were all so persistent in soloing with Wei
Xiao in his live broadcast studio.
Clearing up their shame was false, but wanting to prove themselves was
real!
In the end, Wei Xiao won the game by a very narrow margin.
The audience was left with their mouths open in shock, but at the same
time, they were completely, utterly convinced.
Boasting was very annoying, but once this boasting couldn’t be poked
through no matter what, then…
It became too exciting!
“Strong… he’s really strong!”
“With an immortal warlock of this level, why doesn’t he go mid-lane?”
“FTW’s new mid-lane is Ning Zhehan, right? Can he be as good as the

grandmaster?”
“No rush, no rush. The next game is against Eurostar. My Euro God is a
marksman. Could it be that the grandmaster’s marksman is also very
strong?”
“Didn’t you hear him? His ice hunter can kill a shadow thief!”
“F*ck…”
“Where did FTW dig out this big treasure?”
Adding fuel to the fire was an ID called RR.Money who had started to buy
gifts like crazy in the live broadcast studio.
He’d already bought 50,000 yuan of gifts in the blink of an eye.
You’re asking, who is Money?
RR’s rich captain!
RR had two immortal players. One was the Moonlit who had made his
debut at the end of ‘19 and rose all the way to fame, and the other was their
captain, Money.
Money’s real name was Mo Hui. His game ID was Money, and everyone
called him Money.
Why? It was because he was super rich!
Currently, it was unknown which big business group’s prince he was, but it
was very certain that he was very rich. Even if he’d fallen out with his
family due to his career choice, the pocket money he’d saved up in his
younger days was enough that he couldn’t squander it all!
Money bought 50,000 yuan worth of gifts, then sent over a sentence,
“Grandmaster, can my family’s Moon have another game?”
He’d spent so much money that his comment had a special effect. It was
very flashy.
Wei Xiao knew who this was. He greeted politely, “Hello, senior!”
After all, it was a person from the same era as Close, and he had to be
polite.
Money: “You’re very polite.”
The rich man was happy and gave him another 20,000 yuan.
Wei Xiao: “I also want to solo with Moon God, but there’s still people in
line now. Why don’t we arrange for another day?”
Money thought about it and agreed, “That’s fine, we’ll get in touch offline.”
Then, he realized that he was no longer ‘grandmaster’ and was now a

professional player. He added, “Oh, right, I have to ask my captain first.”
Money: “Why?”
Wei Xiao spoke modestly, “I’m now relying on the captain for food, drink,
and clothing, oh, and I’m even sleeping with the captain, so I have to do as
he says.”
No matter what, he couldn’t offend Close. He couldn’t give up the universe

he had at home for the sake of a moon!
Scrolling comments: “…………………”
“Have I gone f*cking deaf?!”
“Sleep-sleeping with the captain?”
“God Q, did you mix up your words ahhhhhh!!”
“I’m dead, Double Feng sisters, I’m sorry, I’m going to support the cult for
one second!”
FTW base.
Xiang Liu quickly took out the quick-acting heart saving pill, and Chen
Feng swallowed down a painkiller. Only the bold Tang Chen was laughing
loudly, “Little Lunatic Wei is really the limit!”
The limit!
This was the real f*cking limit!

This ‘ordinary’ first broadcast really caused a stir across the entire network.
There was no need to mention anything else; those who weren’t able to
enter the FTW’s live stream room were all going crazy.
It could be expected from Little Lunatic Wei’s actions this time that their
FTW would be even more ‘rich’ next year!
The live stream fees were going to reach the sky!
The third match was against Eurostar.
Marksman also had talent specs that could allow them to show off all the
way to the heavens. For example, the storm hunter was one such talent spec
that could make people’s scalps go numb from the awesome plays.
All of Glory’s bottom lane players could choose not to be proficient with
the ice hunter, but they had to be skilled with the storm hunter.
Because when faced with thieves, only the storm hunter had the power to
stand up and fight.
The storm hunter used rain arrows, which shot out raindrops. It sounded
very harmless and didn’t seem to have very much killing power, but in fact
it was very flexible.
The raindrops would mark the enemy. The core skill of the storm hunter
was the W skill, which allowed them to instantly move to the nearest
marked target. After that, they combined it with the Q skill to slow down
the damage they were dealt, then used their ultimate move to repeat the
process, and play all the way to the heavens!
Eurostar chose the storm hunter, and Wei Xiao naturally also chose the
storm hunter.
Chen Feng looked on for a moment, then glanced at Lu Feng, “Special

training?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Chen Feng: “He can understand this much from just one night…”
It was very exaggerated, very terrible. This level of talent was really
shocking.
Chen Feng had felt it just from watching the match with the immortal
warlocks.
In theory, there was a 50% chance that Moonlit and Eurostar wouldn’t lose.
After all, they were rising stars in the China competition zone, and they
wouldn’t necessarily lose in the international arena either. Out of the 16
competition zones, the ones who could suppress them would be those old
beasts whose names were in the Temple of Glory.
Little Lunatic Wei was very fierce, but it wouldn’t be easy for him to win
against these two if he didn’t use the thief.
Which meant that Close must have trained him.
Lu Feng’s solo ability was very powerful. One reason for this was that he
was very good at learning. That wasn’t quite it, the word ‘learning’ wasn’t
enough to express this ability. It was more like copying.
He could accurately capture the strengths and weaknesses of every

opponent he’d ever come across.
He could copy their advantages and avoid their disadvantages. How could
anyone beat him with this?
Last night, Close had used the immortal warlock and storm hunter to solo
against Wei Xiao. He’d basically allowed Wei Xiao to experience how
Moonlit and Eurostar fought.
Chen Feng had unconsciously already picked up the tone of an old lady,
“You shouldn’t indulge him. What’s the big deal if he loses?”
It would work to hone this kid’s spirit. Just look, he’d already become so
arrogant!
Lu Feng spoke slowly, “It’s not that I’m afraid he’ll lose…”
Chen Feng: “?”
Lu Feng finished his words, “I just want to see him win.”
––It’s not that I’m afraid he’ll lose, I just want to see him win.
Chen Feng: “……………………”
You’re f*cking indulging him, right?!
Juurensha: Close secretly: The only one he can lose to is me! xiin: Close
(not so secretly): The only one who can make him cry is me, too! *vinegar
jar*
Ch31.1 - Close really spoils him
enough
TPT base.
Eurostar leaned back in the e-sports chair and stared at the ‘Defeat’ on the
screen.
When he used the storm hunter for solo matches, his win rate was over
95%.
This game… he’d lost in such a really shameful way.
A low and solemn male voice came from behind him, “At five minutes and
thirty-six seconds, your Q skill didn’t match up to your auto attack, wasting
a DPS opportunity; at eight minutes and twenty-three seconds, your
raindrop mark failed and you couldn’t shift; at twelve minutes and forty-
four seconds, you hesitated in close combat and the other party seized the
opportunity…”
Eurostar looked up at his captain, “Alright, my tears are going to fall.”
His mouth spoke such words, but in fact, his eyes were very dry.
Fu Li picked up the bottle of eyedrops from the table and handed it to him.
Eurostar really squeezed out two drops, and his eyes were full of tears.
Fu Li: “This is the person who caused you to switch lanes?”
Eurostar blinked, and his ‘tears’ dripped down, “Yes. Look, I’m so sad I’m
crying.”
Fu Li was too lazy to deal with his act. He looked down at the data in his
hands and said, “Have you soloed with him recently?”
Eurostar: “I never met him again after becoming a starter.”
Fu Li shared his conclusion, “Close really spoils him enough.”
Eurostar understood what he meant by this. He’d felt it during his match
with Quiet. This kid had been very familiar with his playing methods, and
had played very steadily, paying attention to some small details where he
was prone to make mistakes. Wei Xiao had deliberately avoided his
strengths, and directly targeted his shortcomings. This kind of feeling…
It was like meeting the great demon king in the individuals competition.
He had never soloed with the grandmaster again after he switched to the
bottom lane, so the only way Wei Xiao could know him so well would be
because Lu Feng had given him pointers.
After all, there was nobody in the Glory professional circles who didn’t
know about the great demon king’s ability to ‘copy’.
Eurostar sighed, “A genius like this, how could he not spoil him.”
Fu Li was born with paralyzed facial expressions, and he never smiled.
His unsmiling face was different from Lu Feng’s. Lu Feng was cold all year
‘round, and paired with that face of his, the fans only dared to howl and cry
in secret.
Fu Li was serious and rigid. He was a top student from South University
who’d suspended his studies, and was the famous data emperor of the Glory
circle.
His operations weren’t the most outstanding, and his technical ability
wasn’t the strongest, but his tactics were definitely strong enough to go up
against the heavens.
TPT’s coach, Old Wang, was more like a manager. It was Captain Fu Li
who really shouldered most of a coach’s work.
This contestant in the starter team could do better analysis than most of
China’s coaches.
Fu Li: “Tell me what you know about Quiet.”
Eurostar understood his captain’s temperament and recounted everything he

knew in detail.
One Lamp Grandmaster had become a ‘legend’ in the Glory circle over the
past two years, but this legend was only limited to the second teams in each
club and the new generation of contestants. The older players didn’t know
much about it.
For one, Bai Cai would only target players from the second teams or little-
known smaller clubs. He wouldn’t contact players from teams that were
‘pillar’, or backbone teams. Of course, even if he did contact them, they
might not agree to come.
Secondly, the players who’d been abused by the grandmaster were young
and full of energy. At that age, their hearts and dignity were more important
than anything else. They wouldn’t cry to their elders about how they’d been
abused by an ‘outsider’ until they wanted to go into seclusion even if they
died. Oh, and they’d also spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy this kind of
abuse. How could teenagers of 18 and 19 ever say it out loud!
So, not only did Fu Li and Money not know any details about the
grandmaster; if Lu Feng hadn’t poked through Bai Cai and Wei Xiao’s
‘business’, then he also wouldn’t know about Grandmaster’s existence, let
alone know that Wei Xiao was still thinking about the professional arena.
After listening to Eurostar’s narration, Fu Li frowned, “He’s the best with

thieves?”
Eurostar: “To be exact, it’s the jungler position.”
Fu Li held a slender pen in his hand and scribbled lightly on the paper.
Eurostar knew that this signified that the captain was thinking, and he
continued, “As far as I know, he really likes Close. He loses his head every
time he watches Close’s matches, so he’s very good at all the heroes that
Close is good at.”
The tip of Fu Li’s pen stopped. He laughed lightly, and his eyes flashed,
“It’s great. Lu Feng finally let go.”
Eurostar: “Hm?”
Fu Li stood up, “Be prepared. FTW’s jungler is going to change.”
His words were light and casual, but they were enough to shock Eurostar,
“What?!”
There were many people like Eurostar who knew of One Lamp
Grandmaster, but none of them thought that FTW’s jungler would change
after learning that the grandmaster had joined FTW.
It was true that the grandmaster was very strong in the jungler position, but
how could he be stronger than Close?
Amongst the new generation of the China competition zone, Close’s jungler
was tantamount to a belief.
Even if FTW closed down for good, they would still never give the jungler
position to anyone else.
This was something that countless fans, players included, all believed.
But now…
Eurostar, who believed in his captain’s conjecture, bounced up and

exclaimed, “F*ck! Close is going to switch to top-lane? Damn it, who can
hold him down?!”
He’d originally thought that TPT was ready to take FTW’s place in the
global competition this year and obtain the championship, but unexpectedly,
FTW was even more fierce!
They’d cut the great demon king loose. Wasn’t this just cutting off all
possible roads for everyone else?!
The fourth match was with 3U’s Asleep.
Wei Xiao had a very deep impression of Asleep. One year ago, they’d
soloed for several hundred matches. By the end, the win rate for the two
had reached 50-50.
Asleep only played assassin heroes, and he was most skilled at the berserker
thief.
The berserker thief and the shadow thief were very different. The former
was very aggressive. It could lead the rhythm of the game, and once its
momentum picked up, it could suppress the other side until they couldn’t
breathe.
In fact, four years ago, the shadow thief was the favorite hero of countless
jungler players, and they loved it to death.
Later on, Close appeared. He used the shadow thief and took the world
crown in one grand sweep, and the shadow thief began to decline.
It wasn’t that nobody loved it, but rather that they loved it too much. The
game planners felt that the hero was too strong and impacted the balance of
the game, so they’d sliced it down with a few cuts.
With these first, second, and three cuts, as of now, other than Close who
could still use it to pull off amazing plays, the shadow thief had become a
hero that even ordinary professional players were wary of using.
It was the berserker thief who’d taken over as the most beloved jungler hero
after the shadow thief.
The berserker thief’s weapon was a slender death scythe, and it had a very
long blade. It was like a declaration of death for anyone it hooked around.
The passive ability that made this talent spec match with its name was that
once the berserker thief killed a player, they would enter a state of rage.
Their stats would double, and they would kill people like cutting down
melons and vegetables; this feeling was so great they could fly up to the
heavens!
Asleep was a player who was zzz-ing if he wasn’t eating or playing games,
but he was born looking pale and gentle, and his sleepy eyes and hazy
appearance gave off a kind of lazy handsomeness. A screenshot of him
yawning on the competition court could make his fans love him, then love
him more.
He was like a reincarnation of a koala in his daily life, but on the court, he
was reckless and crazy.
It was especially the case when he used the berserker thief. His roiling
murderous aura was enough to burn up the entire canyon!
The 3U team had been famous for its gentle and delicate style before they
signed him. After he joined the team, their style changed a lot. There was
no more gentle and delicate style, and it was all rage and wanton
recklessness!
“Hey, Asleep.” Wei Xiao sat up straight.
Out of his many clients, the one who’d given him the strongest impulse to
solo was Asleep.
He also played the jungler position, was similarly proficient with thieves,
and had also entered the circle after watching Close’s competition, and also
wanted to beat Close.
When they entered the hero selection interface, the live broadcast had
already filled with the scent and smoke of war.
“Aaaaah God Sleep!”
“My Sleep God is invincible when he wakes up!”
“Fellow brothers, let’s raise the bet. My life savings are all here, and I bet
that Asleep will win!”
“Sisters, let’s draw our knives, Sleep-sleep is mine alone!”
The scrolling comments were bustling. As a rising star in the China

competition zone, Asleep’s level of popularity was terrifying.
Wei Xiao asked, “Berserker thief?”
Asleep: “Shadow.”
Wei Xiao’s lips curved, “You sure?”
Asleep: “Start.”
Wei Xiao shifted his fingers, and started the match.
The berserker thief was Asleep’s favorite hero, but the shadow thief was
Wei Xiao’s.
If Wei Xiao used the berserker thief to solo with Asleep, Wei Xiao had a
60% chance of losing. But if they used the shadow thief…
Sorry, but even looking at the entire Glory circle, other than Close, there
was nobody who could even think of winning!
3U base.
Manager Zhou was very nervous, “Why doesn’t Asleep use the berserker
thief?”
Moonlit and Eurostar had both lost. If Asleep can win this time, it would
definitely be a great opportunity to pick up fans!
This newcomer to FTW was really powerful. The value he’d created with
just one day of effort was enough to make all the capitalists red-eyed with
envy. Manager Zhou was a business minded manager, and he couldn’t help
but want to snatch up a share.
The vice-captain answered, “No point.”

Manager Zhou was silent for a moment, “It’ll make a difference if he
wins!”
What did he mean, there was no point? If he could really win against this
arrogant and domineering FTW newcomer, then wouldn’t Asleep be…
The vice-captain paused, then turned to give Manager Zhou a smile, “What
if he loses with the berserker thief?”
Manager Zhou: “!”
The vice-captain smiled gently, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes,
“Asleep’s berserker thief is a signboard. Losing to a top-laner isn’t very
appropriate.”
Manager Zhou was a little afraid of this person…
Compared with the obedient Asleep, the one he couldn’t understand the
most was the vice-captain Cong Yi who’d grown up with Asleep, and had a
tacit understanding with Asleep even when they played games.
Manager Zhou sighed, “Forget it, it’s not a big deal losing with the shadow
thief. It’s still better than RR and TPT who lost with their own strongest
heroes.”
Cong Yi didn’t say anything else. He simply stared at the screen, watching
the two shadow thieves in the canyon.
In fact, Asleep’s favorite thief talent was the shadow thief.
Most of the Glory circle praised Asleep’s berserker thief, but Cong Yi knew
that it was because the shadow thief belonged to Close that 3U had tied the
berserker thief together with Asleep as a commercial gimmick, and stuck
him with the label of loving the berserker thief the most.
This wasn’t a big deal. After all, Asleep liked all assassin type heroes.
Only, when he soloed with the grandmaster, he wanted to prove himself

with the shadow thief.
After more than one year of training up his berserker thief, he had the
confidence to win against the grandmaster.
However, the one that Asleep was unable to let go of and move past was
actually the grandmaster’s shadow thief.
A shadow thief that was inferior to Close, yet arrogant enough not to be
shrouded in Close’s shadow.
This was the shadow thief that Asleep yearned for.

Ch31.2 - Little friend, look at me
Solo games between thieves were very fun to watch, especially when it
came to shadow thieves. The hero had been cut down by the planners
several times, and the skill requirement was now too high for ordinary
players.
This was particularly the case when it came to the fatal ultimate move, the
light arcs. With the limiting requirement of continuous attack, the difference
between those who could wield it and those who couldn’t was like the
difference between heaven and earth.
Hand speed was one factor, and the attack speed bonus from equipment was
another factor. If the player wanted to generate over six light arcs, they had
to have extremely precise calculation, a high level of technical skill, and
intense concentration.
Scrolling comments: “When the grandmaster soloed with God Le earlier, he

created seven light arcs, right…”
“Yes! Seven light arcs are really dazzling. It’s explosive!”
“Especially Close’s Red Sky Blade skin. The special effects are different for
every additional light arc, it’s too detailed!”
“Speaking of which, ever since the Red Sky Blade skin appeared, nobody
has used it to show off nine light arcs!”
“Wake up, brother. Other than Close, there’s nobody else who can do nine
light arcs!”
“Ah, why doesn’t Close do live broadcasts? He doesn’t need to do anything,

just show us a series of nine light arcs so that we can see the special
effects!”
“Just wait, he’ll use it for sure after the competition.”
“That’s such a long time to wait ahhhh…”
In the canyon, Wei Xiao and Asleep both used the Red Sky Blade skin.
Shadow thieves dressed all in black, with only a short blade that carried a
bloodthirsty light, like a fierce animal ready to attack at any time.
They fought, they provoked, and they traded blood for blood.
Neither Wei Xiao nor Asleep died in the first 10 minutes, but the fight was
so fierce that even the scrolling comments held their breath.
The moves were too precise, and their operations too delicate and refined.
Moreover, the aura of dominating their opponent spread across the canyon,
making it so that nobody dared to even breathe.
Finally…
18 minutes later, two shadow thieves moved at the same time!
The shadow thief’s core skill was the deadly light arc. For each additional
light arc, the damage would double, and the attack range would expand.
This was a geometric number, meaning that the damage caused by seven
light arcs was twice as much as that of six light arcs!
And the 18 minute point was crucial.
This was because the equipment for both thieves had been completed. Only
when the equipment helped them increase their attack speed to the fullest
were they able to fight purely with hand speed.
“F*ck!” The scrolling comments blew up!
“What kind of f*cking immortal operations are these?!”
“Seven light arcs! My Asleep’s shadow thief can also release seven light
arcs!”
“No… you guys, look at Quiet ahhhh!”
“Eight light arcs…”
“The Red Sky Blade skin’s effects are for real. Eight light arcs are enough
to light up half the canyon.”
“It’s hard to imagine how terrible a sight nine light arcs would be…”
After this wave of fighting, Asleep’s shadow thief toppled to the ground.
The deadly light arcs wouldn’t make one immune to damage, but when two
shadow thieves used light arcs at the same time, distance also needed to be
considered.
The range for seven arcs was different from that of eight arcs. Wei Xiao had
jumped out of Asleep’s attack range, but Asleep was still within his.
Such explosive damage was smashed down directly, and Asleep, who had
no defensive equipment, could only end up with his health emptied out
completely.
It was too deadly to die at such a late stage in the game.
The resurrection time was too long. Wei Xiao led a new wave of soldiers
and charged down all the way to Asleep’s tower.
Asleep used a set of skills as soon as he resurrected, forgoing the tower in

exchange for Wei Xiao’s life, but unfortunately, he was unable to deal with
the artillery soldiers.
As the interface darkened, the soldiers destroyed Asleep’s resurrection

crystal.
Victory!
Wei Xiao won again!

The scrolling comments were quiet for three seconds, and then it was all
filled with rainbow farts.
He’d used the immortal warlock to win against Moonlit.
Won against Eurostar with the storm hunter.
Won against Asleep with the shadow thief.
Damn, was this really just a top-laner?
Was FTW training up a new great demon king? Could it be that FTW was
trying to build a monopoly over the single player competition in the future?
Taking home both the championship and the runner-up trophy?
After that came another dozen matches.
Yu Fei, Chen Chao, Xia Dan, and Blue all showed up, but their
competitiveness was average, and they’d mostly come for entertainment.
Especially the shameless Xia Dan, who insisted on playing two against one
with Blue.
Blue held back for a brief moment, “That’s not very good.” But he’d
already set up a doubles room and pulled in Xia Dan before inviting Wei
Xiao.
Wei Xiao didn’t reject anyone and really went ahead with the match. Then,
he pressured them down onto the ground and hammered them flat.
Xia Dan: “F*ck! Next time I’ll try three against one!”
Blue said again, “That’s not very good, we should consider five against
one.”
In the live broadcast room, the audience was laughing and scolding them
for putting up such a show. Why didn’t they go and perform cross talk!
Wei Xiao glanced at the time and saw that it was basically enough. He
wasn’t tired, but he’d emptied out the list of opponents.
Although there were many professional players in the circle, there were
only a few who were top-notch.
He’d hammered everyone from start to end, and it was time to stop.
Just then, the live broadcast room’s scrolling comments were covered up
with bright special effects.
L&P.Marshal gifted ‘Deep Water Torpedo’ x100.
……
In just a few minutes, Marshal had gifted 1000 Deep Water Torpedoes. One
torpedo was 100 yuan; this was 100,000 f*cking yuan!
The audience were all shocked silly. What kind of situation was this?
L&P’s Yuan Ze hadn’t left yet? He was still in the live broadcast room? Had
he been watching all the way until now?
And after watching, he’d swiped out 100,000 RMB worth of gifts for Wei
Xiao?
The little sisters were going to come up with something unspeakable any
minute now!
L&P.Marshal: “Little friend, look at me.”
Scrolling comments: “………………F*ck!”

Wei Xiao gave a shallow, insincere laugh, “Hello, God Yuan.”
L&P.Marshal sent his message along with another gift, “Do you want to
have a solo game with me?”
Wei Xiao’s pupils contracted when he saw this line of text.
The audience became even more excited. Compared with Yuan Ze’s words,
the delicious matches from earlier were no different from the appetizers
before the main course for a high end French meal!
It had only served to whet their appetite; the main course had only just
arrived!
“Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes!” The scrolling comments were going
crazy.
“Three years. It’s been three years since I’ve seen God Yuan solo!”
“What happened? Didn’t the Team of Gods abandon the singles and switch
to group fights? Why…”
“Wait… Why is God Yuan’s first solo after his comeback not against
Close?!”
This was already enough to make the audience go crazy, but after that,
something that made millions of Glory gamers go even more wild came
through from Wei Xiao’s headset!
“He’s tired.” Lu Feng’s voice was deep and clear.
There’s no need to cut out excerpts from the scrolling comments. A large
number of wife fans, girlfriend fans, CP fans, and technical fans were all
shocked, and the strawberry platform frantically tried to increase its
bandwidth…
Lu Feng: “If you want to solo, I’ll do it.”
Audience: “!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“What! What is this?!”
“Close and Marshal’s great world war?”
“Fellow sisters who root for the Team of Gods, it’s the ‘As Long As I’m
Alive’ series ahhhhh!”
Newcomer: “Team of Gods?”
“Don’t inquire, you don’t want to know, don’t ask, asking is abuse!”
Wei Xiao looked at his own captain and blinked.
Lu Feng turned off his mic, “He’s bullying you.”
Wei Xiao: “I’m not scared of him!”
Lu Feng: “You can’t win against him now.”
Wei Xiao: “I…”
Lu Feng turned on the mic, “Be good.”
“Sorry, what is the Team of Gods? That’s not important. Fellow sisters,
FTW is currently full of sugar!”
As soon as Lu Feng spoke, the big hungry wolf who’d been playing tricks
on little children no longer made any noise.
A while later, an equally bright message appeared on the scrolling

comments along with another Deep Water Torpedo––
L&P.Gary: “Captin’s internet broken﹏☆”
Old G’s exotic, extremely recognizable Martian text showed up.

Although they were in the China competition zone, as part of a powerful
team in Glory, Gary also had fans in China
“God G! We’re begging you, don’t learn Chinese from God Yuan!”
“The northeasterner accent from before was very cool. How come it’s now
Martian text??”
“God Yuan is toying with GG again, wuwuwu, GG is so cute, I’m loving

the Martian text.”
Old G’s crappy Chinese wasn’t enough for him to understand much of the
scrolling comments, but he continued to help his captain relay the message,
“Close! The Captin cant solo with u, but I can △!”
The scrolling comments were there to help him translate: “God Lu! GG
says that his captain can’t solo with you, but he can!”
Without waiting for Lu Feng to say anything, Wei Xiao had already spoken
up, “I’ll play.”
The clear, youthful voice was clearly transmitted across the live broadcast
platform to the tens of millions viewers. It also reached Yuan Ze’s ears in
the North American base. His mouth was tilted as he lit up a cigarette.
Wei Xiao: “Let me explain, My captain’s internet isn’t broken, and he’s not
deserting, but there’s no need for him to come up on stage in order to win
against you. I’m already enough.”
There was a click as the lighter lit up.
Yuan Ze inhaled through the cigarette and chuckled, “This kid.”
Gary exploded instantly, “F*CK!”
Yuan Ze got up and arrived behind Gary, “Get up.”
Old G turned to look at him.

Yuan Ze’s expression behind the halo of smoke was implacable, “Let me
give him a try.”
Gary was stunned, “With my account?”
Yuan Ze: “Yes.”
Otherwise, a certain overprotective fellow wouldn’t give him the chance.

Ch32.1 - Captain, don’t give such a
deep confession so easily, I can’t
handle it.
Gary was very reluctant, “That’s not very good…”
Ah, this kid was so strong. He’d been hammered by that kid’s divine
warrior, and now he wanted to get even.
How could Yuan Ze not understand him? He laughed and cursed, “Move.”
Gary was aggrieved. He was a big, sturdy man, dawdling in the e-sports
chair.
Yuan Ze set the bait, “There’s a training match with Pro the day after
tomorrow. I’ll help you make an appointment with Sung-hyun after the
match.”
Gary jumped up immediately, “Really!”
Pro was the seeded team of the Korean competition zone. In recent years,
they’d achieved good results. Kim Sung-hyun was the team’s bottom lane,
the top ADC in the Temple of Glory, and had once been a starting player of
the FTW team, and Yuan Ze and Lu Feng’s teammate.
Kim Sung-hyun, a Korean, had left FTW three years ago to return to his
home country and play for the Pro team.
Although Pro had been unable to win the world championship in recent
years, Kim Sung-hyun had taken two championships in the doubles
competition and made it to the finals many times in the team competition.
Pro was gaining momentum and was confident in winning the 2021
championship.
There was no doubt that Gary’s favorite solo opponent was Close, but it
was too difficult to make an appointment with Close. That person was
addicted to team games, and any spare time he had was spent on 5v5. He
wasn’t addicted to solo at all, yet he’d won one individual championship
after another, making others so angry their livers hurt.
Other than Close, Gary’s next favorite opponent was undoubtedly Kim
Sung-hyun. He and Kim Sung-hyun didn’t solo, though; they played
doubles matches.
Yuan Ze would team up with him, and they’d fight against Kim Sung-hyun
and his support.
Gary liked playing doubles with Yuan Ze, because with Yuan Ze there, he
could be unbridled, reckless, and single-minded, and it was an incredibly
good feeling.
This bait was too attractive. Old G hurriedly stood up and made way,
“Come, come, come, Quiet is yours!”
Yuan Ze sat down, set down his half finished cigarette in the ashtray, and
moved his fingers.
There was already no way to see the scrolling comments clearly.
This was one major event after another. Almost half of the Glory circle fans
had already rushed over.
Fans of domestic teams, fans of individual players, the anti-fans who

enjoyed flaming, and the keyboard warriors were all raring to go, with the
scene now rowdy enough to reach the skies.
There were those who were analyzing the battle situation, those who were
analyzing the win rate, those who were placing bets, and there were also the
girls talking about CPs, getting excited about all the content…
This was one good thing about having so many scrolling comments.
Nobody cared what everyone else was doing, because in any case, they all
had their own opinions, and they couldn’t start a fight even if they wanted
to.
Wei Xiao was really looking forward to it. Today was really a pretty good
day. He’d soloed with so many professional players in China, and now he
could even have a solo match with last year’s runner up.
No matter what…
He had made a killing!
Playing professionally was really great, playing professionally was really a

happy thing. Wei Xiaoxiao was in a wonderful mood.
And then…
His captain shut down his microphone.
Wei Xiao looked up, “Captain?”
Lu Feng: “I’ll play.”
Wei Xiao: “???”
Lu Feng spoke, “I’ll solo with him.”
Wei Xiao clenched his hands into fists and said in shock, “Captain, how
could you be like this? You soloed with Old G so many times a few days
ago, and you even disdained him and said that you didn’t want to solo with
him. Why now…”
This was an opportunity that had come to his hands with much difficulty.
Even if it was Close, he didn’t want to let go of it!
Lu Feng was very straightforward, “Yuan Ze is on the other side.”

There were many people in the training room. Almost everyone had come
to watch the show. Chen Feng raised his eyes to look at Lu Feng, and even
Tang Chen had slowed down the majority of his giggles.
Wei Xiao slapped his thigh, “This man is such a dog, he even fights for
other people!”
Everyone: “………”
Little Lunatic Wei, you were really able grasp the key point.
Wei Xiao became even more reluctant to leave his seat, “Don’t blame me
for his lack of kindness, I’m going to hammer him until he explodes!”
Wei Xiao had been very upset about losing in the previous training match
against Yuan Ze and really wanted to fight back.
Lu Feng looked at him, “He’ll make fun of you.”
Wei Xiao didn’t care, “I’m not afraid of losing. Besides, if I can’t hold up, I
deserve to be toyed with. Losing just means I have to train harder!”
Everyone in the room was helpless towards this attitude of his, thoroughly
convinced.
Just based on how he’d aimed at Close for solo matches, it could be seen
that this kid was really unafraid of losing. Others might go into seclusion
from losing, but he would only grow more excited.
Lu Feng: “I don’t want that.”
Wei Xiao paused.
Lu Feng stared at the ID on the screen, “You are FTW’s Quiet. You’re our
miracle soldier. Why should he be allowed to test you.”
These words landed in the training room, and everyone’s heart heated up.
Old Bai grinned widely, Ning Zhehan’s expression was moved. Yue Wenle
lowered his head to eat his chips. Chen Feng held his forehead, and Tang
Chen once again started to be foolishly happy. As for the Little Lunatic
Wei…
“Hey,” Wei Xiao was awkward and embarrassed, “Captain, don’t give such
a deep confession so easily. I can’t handle it. Isn’t it just a solo match? You
can have it, you can have it.”
Everyone: “………………”
Old Yue didn’t crunch his chips properly and ended up coughing violently.
Wei Xiao glanced at him, “God Le, don’t be jealous. There’s no helping it,
who told me to join the team late and make it so that only I can be the
miracle soldier?”
Yue Wenle: F*ck…
He coughed so hard that his ears turned red.
In the future, when Wei Xiao was there, he wouldn’t dare to eat potato chips
any more. He’d f*cking die if he wasn’t careful!
Wei Xiao hurriedly poured him a glass of water, “Slow down, slow down,
don’t get too excited.”
Yue Wenle didn’t dare drink this water, for fear that he would end up dead
in this training room.
Wei Xiao became happier the more he thought about it. He looked at Xiang
Liu and asked, “Brother Liu, can I still change my ID?”
He’d only just joined the team. He probably wasn’t registered with the
gaming committee yet…
Xiang Liu clenched his hand around a quick-acting heart-saving pill, “Isn’t
Quiet a good ID?”
Wei Xiao was very happy, “I feel that ‘Miracle Soldier’ is better. What do
you guys think?”
Get lost!
The entire room wanted to beat him up, but it was Lu Feng who resolved it,
“Miracle Soldier is no good, it’s too long.”
Wei Xiao was relieved, “That’s true. Then we’ll stick with Quiet.”
He paused, then said excitedly, “Also, I can give Quiet another explanation
in Chinese, so that when they see ‘Quiet’, they think of the words ‘miracle
soldier’. FTW.Quiet is FTW’s miracle soldier, right!”
Lu Feng’s lips curved briefly, “Mm.”
The entire room was left speechless.
Although it left everyone unable to say anything, it also strangely gave

everyone a shot of heated passion straight to the heart.
This little bastard didn’t have a door on his mouth, and he didn’t watch his
thoughts either. He clearly said whatever came to mind, yet it was able to
drive the emotions of people around him.
While he was being noisy and playful, he somehow still pulled off a wanton
recklessness that went up to the skies!
At this moment, the audience in the live broadcast studio didn’t know what
they were watching.
They thought that this was a duel between Quiet and Gary, and they thought
that this was a fight between FTW’s domineering newcomer and the runner
up of last year’s singles competition.
That was already enough for them to be bursting with excitement.

If they knew that it was Lu Feng playing Quiet’s account, and Yuan Ze
playing Gary’s account, the strawberry platform servers probably wouldn’t
be able to handle the terrifying levels of traffic.
In the room’s chat box––
Gary: “Use wat?”
As the person who taught Old G this Martian text, Yuan Ze used it with
what could only be called an easy familiarity.
Afraid that ‘Quiet’ wouldn’t be able to understand, the scrolling comments

helped him translate, “God G wants to know what you want to use!”
Quiet: “Power thief.”
Gary: “No shade thief?” Not using the shadow thief?
Quiet: “I’m a top-laner.”
The power thief talent spec was for the top-lane. Although ordinary players
used the power thief for jungling, in competitive matches,practically
nobody used the power thief to jungle, and it was a standard top-lane hero.
Lu Feng was saying this with Quiet’s account, but Chen Feng and Tang
Chen, who both knew the truth, knew that he was saying it about himself.
Gary was a jungler. At this moment, the one using his ID was Yuan Ze, who
was also a top-laner.
Quiet appeared to be a top-laner, but in fact, Lu Feng intended for him to be

the jungler, and FTW’s real top-laner would be Lu Feng.
For this match, using the power thief was the right choice.
Two top-laners who were destined to mutually attack each other started
pounding the war drums ahead of time!
Although he couldn’t solo, Wei Xiao was still very interested in watching
Lu Feng solo.
He would get excited when he watched training videos between Lu Feng

and Old G in the past, so there was no need to talk about his state now as he
watched Lu Feng play against Yuan Ze.
It had to be said that Yuan Ze hadn’t participated in the individual

competitions for three years. Nobody knew what this previous solo king’s
level was like.
No matter which of the other four members of the Team of Gods were to
solo against Lu Feng, it would still be big enough news to shake the global
Glory circle.
There was no helping it. FTW’s Team of Gods had been too god-like. And
yet, after they dissolved and went their own ways, they became even more
godly, making tens of thousands of fans endlessly curious about the topic.
A team of five had all left their names in the Temple of Glory. This was the
most brilliant stroke in the history of Glory.
The match began.
The power thief was very suited for one-on-one fights out of all the thief
talents. The top-lane hero was always intended to bear the pressure of the
lane alone, and sometimes, one player even needed to keep two opponents
busy in order to create more opportunities for their teammates.
So, even if Yuan Ze hadn’t participated in the individual solo competitions

for many years, his solo level was still very high. This could already be
seen from his operations during the team competitions.
Wei Xiao was afraid of disturbing Lu Feng, so he crowded together with

Yue Wenle to watch the live broadcast.
Old Yue choked and didn’t dare to eat his chips. Wei Xiao asked, “Are they
delicious?”
Wei Xiao: “Can I have some?”
Old Yue handed him the chips. His emotions were tired.
Wei Xiao crunched on a chip, “They’re really good!”
Yue Wenle was delighted inside but spoke in a restrained tone, “These are
all the best ones that I’ve picked out from many. They’re crispy, tasty,
and…”
Wei Xiao: “Quickly look at the captain! He’s really learned it well, it looks
like a power thief that I’m playing!”
Yue Wenle looked at the live broadcast and also didn’t care about
elaborating further on his chips.
Ch32.2 - Captain, I want more!
Lu Feng’s terrifying ability to mimic couldn’t be fully felt without personal

experience.
Watching him manipulate a hero the same way as oneself, that feeling was
really… intense.
Wei Xiao: “It’s like I’m looking in the mirror!”
He and Yue Wenle had soloed many times, and Yue Wenle had a very deep
impression of his power thief. At present the power thief in the game was
really like Wei Xiao, all the way down to its bones.
Lu Feng imitated Wei Xiao’s tactics at the start of the game so that Yuan Ze
wouldn’t be able to find any flaws.
And Yuan Ze indeed didn’t notice that the players had changed.
Old G commented from the side, “This kid is really good. He’s still able to
grab resources despite your oppression.”
Yuan Ze: “Very delicate movements.”
Old G: “Not only is it delicate, his guts are also bold and fat.”
Yuan Ze: “This kid is very excellent, but there’s this kind of…”
The word ‘familiarity’ hadn’t been said yet when he was forcefully stabbed
into the ground by the other side’s power thief!
Old G: “………”
Yuan Ze: “F*ck.”

The power thief was a hero with eight skills. It had two forms, and once a
set of moves was used, damage would start to stack. If the hero moved
carelessly, once a certain layer of damage was added up, the damage would
detonate, ignoring the opponent’s armor and defense and directly topple
their opponent.
Yuan Ze couldn’t be any more familiar with the power thief, but he’d been
careless.
He hadn’t really taken this newbie who’d just started his professional career
as a real opponent. He hadn’t been playing seriously and had had an attitude
of teasing and probing.
So…
Old G exclaimed, “FTW really hid a trump card, I don’t believe that he just
joined the team. This way of tossing out damage is obviously the way Close
plays!”
Gary played against Close all year round and was far more familiar with the
current Close than Yuan Ze, an old teammate from a team that had
disbanded over three years ago.
Yuan Ze froze for a moment, “Motherf*cker, this is Close.”
He had wanted to trick the other party, but he’d been the one falling into a
trap instead.
Three years ago, he’d sworn that he would never solo against Little Lu
Feng…
F*ck! Damnit!
Old G was stunned, “Close?”
He came back to his senses in an instant. That made sense. With Lu Feng’s
heaven defying ability to ‘copy’, it was a very easy thing for him to imitate
Quiet.
Old G: “Why is he playing for Quiet?”
Yuan Ze acted like he’d been scalded, tossing away the keyboard and
mouse as he said, “…I knew that he was overprotective, but I didn’t think it
would be to this extent.”
Old G realized, “He guessed that you were playing?”
Yuan Ze was really powerless, “You go, you go, you solo with him.”
Gary was pressed into the e-sports chair and was super aggrieved, “You’re
the one who wanted to fight, and now you’re the one who doesn’t want to
fight…”
As soon as Yuan Ze saw the situation, he simply shut down the machine.
Old G: “???”
Yuan Ze: “Or is it that you want me to surrender?”
Old G shook his head like crazy, “Persimmons can be killed, but can’t be
entered!”
Even Teacher Yuan who’d been the one to teach him Chinese was confused
for a moment, “?”
Oh… he’d figured it out. It was ‘a scholar prefers death to humiliation’.
Shutting down was equivalent to dropping offline. The ‘Gary’ in the game
simply stood at the crystal and didn’t come out anymore.
The audience in the studio: “???”
“What’s going on?”
“Losing without fighting?”
“No way… Although Quiet has some strong points, God G isn’t that bad.”
“Old G hasn’t even started yet, how come he…”
Xiang Liu received an overseas call from the manager of L&P, “Sorry, the
base’s network isn’t stable, and the internet disconnected. I heard that Gary
was soloing with you guys…”
The manager spoke a whole bunch of lightning-quick English words, and it

was fortunate that Brother Liu’s English was good, and he actually
understood.
He set down the phone and spread his hands, “L&P disconnected.”
Lu Feng stood up and freed up his position.
Wei Xiao was confused, “Yuan Ze discovered you?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao was very puzzled, “Why won’t he solo with you?”
Lu Feng didn’t answer. He pointed to the headset, “Turn on the mic and
explain it to everyone.”
Since the microphone was on, Wei Xiao didn’t ask any further. He sat down
and told everyone about the mystery of L&P’s disconnecting internet.
All sorts of things were being said in the scrolling comments, and the
overall atmosphere was pretty good.
After all, it was L&P who’d ‘disconnected’, not their own FTW.
The one who’d retreated without fighting was Gary, not Quiet.
Someone in the audience asked, “God Q, are you still broadcasting? We

haven’t seen enough!”
Today had really been filled with ups and downs, and it was too addictive,
making people reluctant to see it end.
They also wanted to see more of this FTW newcomer’s ‘awesome

operations’. This kind of feeling where they couldn’t guess what would
happen next and what he’d show them in the next second was too great!
Wei Xiao was already unable to find anyone to solo with. He was just about
to say that he’d see everyone tomorrow…
Lu Feng’s voice came, “Invite me.”
Wei Xiao paused.
The madame fans and the girlfriend fans in the scrolling comments had
extremely sharp ears. They caught Lu Feng’s voice and exploded into
fireworks on the spot.
Wei Xiao tilted his head to look at Lu Feng, “Solo?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao was instantly excited, “With me?”
Lu Feng: “Who else?”
Wei Xiao was so happy he practically flew up to heaven, “Come, come,

come!”
He spoke to the audience in the live broadcast studio while inviting Lu Feng
into the room, “The next solo is between Close and Quiet. Everyone, please
enjoy it and remember to record the screen!”
He didn’t try to conceal the excitement in his voice at all, and the fans could
all hear it clearly.
The fans were all excited, and purple scrolling comments appeared one
after another, dazzling the eyes.
Wei Xiao didn’t want to pay attention to the scrolling comments at all. He
asked Lu Feng, “What do you want to play?”
Lu Feng: “What do you want to play?”
Wei Xiao’s eyes brightened, “Shadow thief!”
Lu Feng: “Alright.”
Wei Xiao was happy enough to explode: He’d made a killing today, a giant
killing! It was even better than before!
Wei Xiao had used the shadow thief four times today.
The first time was with Yue Wenle, the second time was against Asleep, the
third time was against the shameless double team Xia Dan and Blue––if it
wasn’t for the shadow thief, he wouldn’t have been able to kill the two
squishy, high DPS heroes in a one against two fight.
This was the fourth time, with Close.
What made it even more exciting was that Close had also picked the
shadow thief.
The number of viewers in the live broadcast studio surged to new heights
again.
Today was really amazing. Future generations would probably never be

able to surpass Wei Xiao’s live broadcast premiere.
Individual matches against the major star players in the domestic

competition zone, the battle against last year’s individual competition
runner up, and Close’s first appearance with the Red Sky Blade skin…
This was a multilayer stacked effect, and Glory fans felt like it was New
Year!
“Nine light arcs! I want to see the Red Sky Blade’s special effects!”
“It’s here, it’s here, he’s here with his Red Sky Blade!”
“I’m so satisfied. Today’s really explosively exciting!”
The shadow thief’s Red Sky Blade was the championship skin for the
season. It was specifically dedicated to Close.
The different effects from the deadly light arcs were all tailored for him.
After all, nine arcs…
Other than him, there was almost nobody else in Glory who could use it.
At the start of the match, the audience could feel a different kind of
atmosphere.
These two people must solo together often!
It was obvious at first sight that Quiet and Close were so familiar with each
other they couldn’t be any more familiar.
It was very exciting and very fun to watch, yet it was also filled with a
strange sense of harmony.
Quiet’s shadow thief was like a little madman, ferocious and aggressive. He
appeared reckless, yet he didn’t make mistakes, and his attention to detail
was amazing.
In the heart of most fans, Close’s shadow thief was a great demon king who
controlled the scene. Regardless of whether it was solo or 5v5, the canyon
that he was present in was always filled with tension and pressure that could
practically be seen with the naked eye.
Not even mentioning the players he was up against, even the audience
watching the game felt nervous.
However, this game was different.

Lu Feng never took it easy on Wei Xiao, and his operations and attitude
were both serious, but it felt different.
Close’s shadow thief was like a thick fog that shrouded the canyon, but
Quiet’s shadow thief was fearless, like a dazzling light blade that broke
through the thick fog, allowing infinite light to cover the arena!
18 minutes.
Both thieves had their full equipment sets, and everyone held their breath.
It was coming…
The Red Sky Blade’s nine light arcs…
What exactly did it look like…
The two shadow thieves moved at the same time.
This scene was very similar to the match between Quiet and Asleep, but the
result was reversed.
The eight light arcs lit up half the canyon, but this dazzling brilliance was
like a shimmering fire beneath the glow from the nine light arcs.
Everyone who saw it blew up on the spot.
The hidden shadow thief, the cold-blooded killer, set off a wave of heat
with arcs that crossed the sky.
It was like a volcano erupting in the canyon!
The special effects of the eight light arcs and nine light arcs appearing
simultaneously made people doubt whether or not their computers were
crashing.
The scene stopped at this endless splendor.
The audience didn’t even notice when the game had ended.
Winning or losing was no longer important. This wonderful match made
everyone feel numb.
What was the fun in competitive gaming?
Was it a contest in strength? A balance in power? Competition amongst

equals?
More than that…
It was definitely not just that.
What made it so fun was the chase! The hope!
Even if the opponent’s strength was invincible, the eagerness to continue

pushing through was enough to make the blood boil!
Unyielding, fearless, defiant.
This was the competitive spirit that was shown in the face of a strong
opponent!
Quiet was like a cluster of stubbornly burning flames. It seemed to be far

off from a raging fire, yet if you gave him the chance, time, and experience,
he was bound to set off a raging fire!
What brought the audience’s attention back to reality was the youth’s
excited appeal, “Again!”
The last sentence that came before the live broadcast turned off also came
from Wei Xiao––
“Captain, I want more!”
Oh, the word ‘solo’ had been cut off and didn’t broadcast.
Tens of millions of scrolling comments swept by like a torrent:
“????????????”
xiin: WX – Captain, I want more SOLO SOLO SOLO SOLO SOLO! LF –
No, no, you just want more of me ^_^
Ch33.1 - Did you start dreaming
even before falling asleep?!
Wei Xiao didn’t care about what was going on in the scrolling comments at
all. He looked at Lu Feng, and his eyes were like Soybean’s when it saw a
bone.
Wei Xiao: “One more match, we just warmed up!”
Lu Feng was unmoved, “What time is it?”
The live broadcast started at 8:30. Wei Xiao played many solo matches, and
it was now almost 12:00.
Wei Xiao spoke the time out loud, then added, “Come, come, the night is
still long!”
The captain was wise and had shut down the broadcast at the right time.
Otherwise, this mouth of Wei Xiao’s would cause the live broadcast to be
banned at any minute!
Lu Feng got up and said, “Enough, if you’re basically done here, get some
early rest.”
Wei Xiao followed him, “Captain!”
He was unreconciled.
Lu Feng looked at him, “Did you win the championship?”

“Rest early.” Lu Feng dropped this sentence and left the training room.
Wei Xiao wilted and toppled back into the chair. It was like his spirit and
consciousness had been swept away.
Little Ning was young and simple. He leaned in to ask Wei Xiao, “Brother
Wei, what did the captain mean by his words?”
Was there any connection between winning the championship and playing a
game together?
He was a little nervous!
Wei Xiao spoke weakly, “The captain promised me…”
Ning Zhehan: “Hm?”
“If we win the world championships, he’ll be mine for as long as I want.”
This carrot was big and fragrant, but it was still a little far away!
The room full of people who hadn’t yet had time to escape, “… F*ck!”
Little Ning’s curiosity died instantly. He was shocked, “Wha-what?!”
Wei Xiao sat up and flipped the calendar, “When does the regular season
start? Why hasn’t it started yet? It’s three hours for each regular season
game, and I remember we’re in the double cycle division. Didn’t FTW win
16 consecutive games three years ago? Let’s work hard this time and do 16
consecutive wins for the regular season. One win is three hours, 16 regular
season games adds up to 48 hours… and then the playoffs…”
Wei Xiaoxiao was really worthy of someone who had gotten a score of 134
in the college entrance examinations. He could calculate quickly and obtain
an answer in moments, “If we win all the domestic games, I can solo with
the captain for 178 hours!”
Everyone in FTW: “…………”

Wake up, kid! What did you mean, win all the domestic games! Did you
start dreaming even before falling asleep?!
Bai Cai was afraid of this old dog, “You’re saying that if you win the world
championship, the captain will accompany you to solo for as long as you
want?”
Wei Xiao nodded, “Yep.”
Bai Cai’s heart was shattered: Can’t you f*cking make your words clearer?!
Xiang Liu knew the truth; he’d been one of the ones who’d witnessed the
signing of the contract and experienced how lethal Wei Xiao could be. He
was anxious to leave, “It’s not early anymore, and you guys shouldn’t train
until too late. Formal training will start in a few days.”
Chen Feng didn’t want to stay here at all either. “I’m off to sleep.”
Tang Chen hurriedly followed suit, “Me too!”
Yue Wenle picked up his chips and asked Ning Zhehan, “Doubles?”
Little Ning was still in a daze, “Oh, oh, sure!”
The two of them went to the doubles training room where it was quiet and
comfortable, and their ears wouldn’t get scalded!
Only Bai Cai and Wei Xiao were left in the large training room.
Wei Xiao’s heart was itchy, “Old Bai, say, if I go upstairs to find the captain
now, he…”
Bai Cai was full of hate; he hated his own soft heart. He should run, and he
shouldn’t pay attention to this beast, “Have you won the regular season yet?
The playoffs? What about the championship?”

Bai Cai could really be considered to have caught his weak spot, “You don’t
even have a fart of a result, how can you go find the captain for solo
games?”
“Ah…” Wei Xiao was stabbed straight through the heart and collapsed back
in his chair.
As Wei Xiao said, the night was still long. They weren’t like Close, and
sleeping so early was impossible.
Bai Cai: “Come play doubles?”
Wei Xiao’s tone was bored and uninterested, “Fine…”
His tone of having to settle for second best wasn’t concealed at all!
The two of them played for two hours, then Wei Xiao said, “Old Bai, it’s
not that I don’t want to accompany you to go up in the rankings, in fact…”
Wei Xiao: “After eating a luxurious meal, I really can’t swallow your clear
cabbage soup anymore.”
Bai Cai was so angry that he wanted to smash the keyboard. Considering
that his keyboard was a limited edition, he could only smash the table, “Wei
Xiao!!!”
Wei Xiao yawned.
Bai Cai didn’t want to pay attention to this bastard anymore, “Get out of
here aaahhhh!!!”
Wei Xiao bailed and slept soundly with Soybean in his arms.
It was strange. This was his first time in FTW, and it was his first time
sleeping in this strange bed.
He shouldn’t be used to it, but he fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.
Wei Xiao just felt that everything was just right.
The bedroom was just right, the bed was just right, and even the air was just
right.
He liked FTW.
He liked everything here.
He didn’t dream that night, but the youth’s mouth was stretched into a
smile.
The next day, there was no doubt that the Gossip Emperor’s private
message inbox was full to bursting.
Bai Cai woke up two hours earlier than usual. He held his cell phone in bed
and only finished reading through them all at noon.
Wei Xiao’s premiere broadcast detonated the entire Glory circle, and it also
then set the circle on fire.
These girls had come up with endless CPs to gnaw on over the past two
years. Now that Wei Xiao had fallen out of the sky, it was simply a big pot
that everyone could stew up crazy news in.
Of course….
Out of all the contributions, Close x Quiet was the one with the highest
frequency, highest quality, and highest standards.
As the Lord Gong of the Glory circle, Close had enough CP fans to circle
the world three and a half times over. Quiet had slaughtered out such a
bloody path in his one live broadcast. It was… really a gift!
Bai Cai was stressed as he read, thinking about whether or not he should
delete the account.
He was a principled Gossip Emperor who only engaged in pushing fake

CPs. If there really was something there, he wouldn’t touch it even if he
was going to die.
A straight man’s job was to coax girls and give them some happiness. He
wouldn’t mess with real feelings, because it would be difficult to deal with
if something happened.
However… Bai Cai had been mixing it up in these circles for so long, yet
he’d never once encountered true feelings.
Close x Quiet…
Based on Bai Cai’s understanding of Wei Xiao, with this beast, there was an
80, 90 percent chance that nothing was there.
There was a kind of creature that was neither heterosexual or homosexual.

It was the type that hadn’t yet been enlightened!
This kid’s mind probably didn’t even have the neuron connections for
falling in love––
He looked like a 19 year old adult, but his thoughts might be like that of a
five or six year old when it came to love––
What was love? Was it as fun as soloing?!
Wei Xiao’s brain was full of this sentence.
Quiet was safe, but what about the captain?
Bai Cai couldn’t be sure.
He’d been in the team for a long time, and the more he learned about Lu
Feng, the harder it was to say.
Although they all said that nobody in e-sports had time to fall in love, Lu
Feng’s qualifications made it so that people fell all over themselves in
offering themselves up if he wanted to find a partner, and there wasn’t
anything he couldn’t have.
However, Lu Feng was 21, and he didn’t even have anyone he was
ambiguous with.
Oh… the Gossip Emperor Weibo’s CPs didn’t count.
If Close’s sexual preference was for men, there were many excellent men
around him, but there weren’t any that he looked at more often than others.
There was only Wei Xiao.
Two years ago, he’d indulged him. Two years later, he spoiled him.
It could be predicted that the Little Lunatic Wei would only become more
crazy after joining FTW.
This guy could already go crazy enough to fly up to the skies without
anyone’s care. Under someone’s protection, wouldn’t he pierce the sky?!
However, it was difficult to make the claim that there was something
between Old Wei and the captain, because it also didn’t seem to be the
case…
Wei Xiao was very excellent and was very much worth being appreciated.
A talented player like him, no matter whether it was from the captain’s
perspective, or the team’s perspective, or even as a senior, there were
reasons enough to indulge him.
Ah…
Bai Cai shook his head and thought that he’d probably been led astray by
Wei Xiao.
Just based on those fierce bandit-like words of his, even good and proper
brotherly feelings would change flavor!
What’s more, Old Bai was immersed in this culture all year long. His eyes
hadn’t been able to see clearly for a long time, and it was possible that his
eyes had already turned rotten a long time ago!
So, should he send out this story segment or not?
If he didn’t send it, it would be like beating the grass and driving the snake
away.
If he sent it…
The Gossip Emperor’s heart felt a little guilty.
“Old Bai!” There was a knock on the door.
Bai Cai opened the door and saw Wei Xiao there drinking juice, “What are
you howling for so early in the morning!”
It seemed that Wei Xiao had also woken up early. He urged Bai Cai, “Hurry
and eat. Lunch is really abundant! There’s fresh juice, hey, the watermelon
is really tasty, how can there be such a tasty fruit in this world.”
Bai Cai followed him out the door, “You got up so early?”
Although it was already noon, based on Wei Xiao’s biological clock, he

shouldn’t be seen at all until 2 in the afternoon.
Wei Xiao sighed, “I was thinking that the early bird would catch solo games
to play, but the captain only has that damned dog in his eyes!”
Lu Feng’s biological clock was different from theirs. He got up at 7:30 and
went for a run in the morning, and his schedule wouldn’t change even if he
was struck by lightning. Wei Xiao wanted to give it another shot while
nobody was around, yet as a result, Lu Feng only noticed Soybean and
didn’t pay him any heed at all!
He’d spent the whole morning making eyes at the captain and hinting like
mad, but he hadn’t gotten any response!
Soybean was really in the way!
Bai Cai rolled his eyes at him, “You’re really damned persistent.”
Wei Xiao: “Everything comes to him who waits. What if the captain
changes his mind due to my persistence?”
There was still such a long time before the competition began. He was
anxious!
sponsored release~ thanks for the coffees! 5 more to go~

Ch33.2 - Are there a lot of them
praising me and Close? Is there a
CP name?
Bai Cai’s mind was still on other things, and he simply asked one of the
people involved, “Your live broadcast exploded yesterday.”
Wei Xiao sipped at his watermelon juice and wasn’t surprised at all, “Of
course.”
Bai Cai glanced at him sidelong, “My private messages have exploded too.”
Wei Xiao understood what he meant. His eyes brightened, and he asked,
“How is it? Are there a lot of them praising me and Close? Is there a CP
name? Tell me, tell me about it!”
Bai Cai: “……………”
He regretted it. How could he have thought of asking ‘one of the people
involved’?
Bai Cai gave him his cellphone and let him take a look for himself.
Wei Xiao skimmed through and saw quite a few CP names, “What kind of
damned name is ‘Want it CP’?”
After that, Wei Xiao saw the short video clip underneath it, taken from the
last segment of his live broadcast. What he’d said was subtitled––Again,
“Captain, I (still) want more!
Wei Xiao thought about it and blinked, “Solo?”

Bai Cai: “The live broadcast was shut down at a key time and cut it off.”
Wei Xiao approved, “The captain is really smart, the topic is hotter this
way!”
Bai Cai: “……………”
Alright, as long as you’ve thought it through!
Wei Xiao continued to ‘pick’ CP names, “Eight nine CP?”
Bai Cai explained it to him, “Your eight light arcs, and the captain’s nine
light arcs.”
Wei Xiao got it, “Oh, oh, oh, this one’s no good. It’s too limiting. I’m sure
that I’ll be able to do nine in the future!”
Bai Cai: “……” Alright, alright, whatever you say is right.
Wei Xiao: “Double shadow CP?”
Bai Cai: “Your two shadow thieves.”
Wei Xiao rejected it, “Doesn’t sound good.”
Wei Xiao: “Demon King CP?”
Bai Cai: “Yes, it refers to our FTW’s great demon king and little demon
king.”
Honestly, Brother Cai thought that this CP name was pretty good. Ah, wait,
he’d been corrupted by the Little Lunatic Wei for even thinking about it!
Wei Xiao was still unsatisfied, “Why am I the little demon king? I’m also
very big!”

To hell with your ‘big’! Would you die if you spoke in human words?!
After reading through all the CP names, Wei Xiao came to a conclusion,
“No rush. I’ll give them some more material for inspiration!”
Bai Cai stumbled and almost fell down the stairs, “Ah?”
Wei Xiao: “Believe me, inspiration all comes from stimulation.”
Bai Cai wanted to die. Sisters, wake up, the candy you guys are gnawing on
is poisonous!
After this farce with Wei Xiao, Bai Cai had also thought it through.
Who the hell cared? Based on this little fool, who knew when he would
figure things out.
When he really became enlightened, these little short segments would

smash him in the face. They’d see if he cried then.
F*ck, thinking about it that way felt great.
Bai Cai decided to send the short segment anyway. If nothing else, it could
‘create confusion by passing off the spurious as genuine’!
Fear was the reason for staying deep in the closet. He might as well go the
opposite way, so that when the two of them really came out of the closet,
people would be so used to it they wouldn’t be surprised at all!
Not only had yesterday’s live broadcast caused a huge sensation throughout
the network, each major team had also set aside time in the afternoon today
in order to do a replay and analysis.
In particular, the players who participated in the solo matches were captured
by their coaches and forced to review for over three hours.
In the singles competition arena where Close took all the glory on his own,
most of the clubs didn’t have much interest in solo games, and many teams
had even abandoned the program and devoted more time to the double and
team games instead.
3U was one of them.
Last season, Asleep and Cong Yi had won third place in the world
competition, making 3U famous. This year’s advertising revenue had more
than tripled.
Star players really had this kind of commercial value, and it meant that they
could be coaxed and stolen away.
It was unknown how many clubs were full of regret for missing a ‘talent’
like Wei Xiao.
This Quiet was more than just a star player. He was a business wizard!
The profit he’d made in one day was enough to cover the cost of half a year
of his contract!
Not only were the major domestic clubs replaying the games, even the
overseas competition zones were concerned.
North America.
L&P Base.
Old G collapsed back into his chair and listened to his captain speak in
Korean with his former teammate.
Marshal was really amazing. He was proficient in eight languages and

could speak all of them smoothly.
They had just finished a training match with Pro and had won two out of the
three games. Don’t judge based on how L&P had lost one match; Old G
still felt that Pro hadn’t played out their full strength.
Kim Sung-hyun was obviously using them to train up his team. In the last
game, it was difficult to say who would win or lose if Pro had run-in more.
After Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun agreed on a time for a doubles training
match, Yuan Ze spoke up, “FTW signed a very interesting kid.”
Kim Sung-hyun directly used Chinese to ask, “Ning Zhehan?”
Yuan Ze: “No, it’s another one.”
Kim Sung-hyun thought about it, “Old Tang is retiring. Are they replacing
him with another top-laner?”
Yuan Ze laughed, “In short, you’ll see him soon.”
Kim Sung-hyun was very interested, “What’s his name? I’ll look him up.”
Yuan Ze was straightforward, “Wait, I’ll send you a video.”
He had a recording of Wei Xiao’s live broadcast, which he sent directly to

Kim Sung-hyun.
Kim Sung-hyun, two hours later, “Haha.”
Yuan Ze’s heart thumped.
Kim Sung-hyun: “The second to last match was you and Close, right?”
Yuan Ze stared at Gary, and Old G was confused, “What’s up?”
He shouldn’t have had any expectations of this guy. He’d told him to cut the
video, yet he’d left it like this?
Kim Sung-hyun was very impolite about it, “Three years ago, someone said
that if they soloed with Little Lu Feng again, they would live broadcast
eating shit.”
Yuan Ze: “…………F*ck!”
Kim Sung-hyun asked Gary very distinctly, “GG, will your L&P be
attending the special training in a few days?”
Gary was half a Kim Sung-hyun fan, and only they heard him calling out,
“Yes!”
Kim Sung-hyun then spoke to Yuan Ze, “Brother, I’ll see you at special
training. Waiting for you to eat shit.”
Yuan Ze: “Get lost!”
After cutting the call, Kim Sung-hyun stared at the two shadow thieves on
the screen.
This was the last match in the live-broadcast, Close vs Quiet.
He smiled briefly, and the tear mole at the corner of his eye flashed under
the light of the effects from the nine light arcs on the screen, “Interesting.”
The number one ADC of the Temple of Glory loved the jungler position the
most.
It wasn’t that he liked to jungle, but rather that he liked to bully junglers.
In the balance mechanism of the game, thieves had a natural advantage over
marksmen, but Kim Sung-hyun’s marksman was especially strong against
thieves.
FTW Base.
Chen Feng hesitated, then said, “The team hasn’t been broken in at all, is it
okay to attend special training like this?”
Tang Chen was very casual, “What’s there to be afraid of? Special training
was originally just like training matches.”
Chen Feng glanced at him coldly, “Ha. If they’re hammered into seclusion,
won’t they just be coming back and waiting to die when the domestic
competition starts?”
Tang Chen scratched the back of his head, “It’s not so bad…”
Chen Feng tossed the documents down in front of him, “Look at the list this
year!”
Glory’s winter training was a new project that had come into being over the
recent years.
It was organized by the competition committee, and the seeded teams from
the 16 competition zones were invited to come together to train for 15 days.
It was a very suitable warm-up activity before the competition really began.
This was a great training opportunity, especially for competition zones that
were in decline, or for teams that weren’t very powerful.
The official statement was that all starter teams in the 16 competition zones
could sign up.
Nearly 100 teams signed up in the first year, all wanting to improve. As a
result, the training situation was very terrible; some immature teams were
directly tortured to the point where their mentality and passion collapsed.
After returning home, they toppled during the main competition, achieving
poor results and coming to a lonely, dismal end.
The next year, everyone was more rational. Teams who had only just
absorbed many new players wouldn’t sign up. After all, the attitude of new
players wasn’t stable, and it was better to keep them in good condition than
have them be hammered into seclusion by the top players of the
professional circle.
By now, winter training had become a term used by the powerful teams.
They would arrange for training competitions anyway, and it was better to
work together in an efficient manner than arrange things in the dark.
FTW hadn’t participated last year. This year…
Lu Feng said, “We’re going.”
Chen Feng had prepared himself mentally a long time ago, but he was still
worried, “Although the Little Lunatic Wei won’t be cowed, Little Ning and
Old Yue…”
Yue Wenle had already gone through a season, but he still wasn’t skilled
enough to hold up in front of a bunch of old foxes. And for this
competition, even Kim Sung-hyun would be participating…
Although they were both professional players, and they were both ADCs,
Chen Feng was very certain––
In front of Kim Sung-hyun, Yue Wenle’s arrows would be like bamboo

sticks, completely harmless.
Lu Feng: “We can’t hide.”
Chen Feng advised him, “For better or worse, you should give them some
time…”
They could stay at home and train honestly. After the domestic
competitions, the team would be pretty well broken-in. After that, they
could face those beasts. At least… they wouldn’t be left kneeling so
miserably.
Lu Feng glanced at Chen Feng, “If they survive the winter special training,
will they have problems in the domestic competition?”
Chen Feng: “!”
Lu Feng tapped the board, “Sign up.”
Out of the 18 teams who had applied for Glory’s winter special training,
each of the teams had either won the championship or runner-up positions
in their competition zones, and all of them were big, established teams.
There was even less need to mention the top four teams in the world last
year, all of which were on the special training team list.
When Wei Xiao heard about the special training, his eyes brightened, “This
is that one––the one where players from all over the world come together to
do 15 days of winter special training day and night?”
Everyone in FTW: “……”
These fellows all used to get flustered when they saw the special training
list. Now…
To hell with getting anxious!
The ones who should be anxious were the foreign teams who were going to
participate in the special training. They probably didn’t know what a
terrible little beast would be attending the training this year!
Ch34.1 - You’ve only cried once.
It’s not enough
Wei Xiao was very interested. He’d long felt that the off-season period was
too long, and really couldn’t wait to play. Now that he was hearing about
this, how could he not be excited? “Brother Chen, is it that one?”
It really wasn’t that one, but… it also was the very same one.
Tang Chen laughed loudly, “It’s really 15 days of hard work, in principle.”
Wei Xiao looked at Tang Chen, “God Tang, have you participated in it
before? How was it? Was it exciting!”
Tang Chen was a little stunned when he asked this.
FTW hadn’t participated last year, but they had gone two years ago.
That year, FTW was hammered very miserably. Except for Close,
everyone’s mentality collapsed. After returning home, they played badly
and failed to even obtain the domestic championship.
Chen Feng took over the conversation and poured figurative cold water
over Wei Xiao’s head, “The last time FTW participated, we lost six straight
games after returning to China.”
As soon as these words came out, the meeting room became much quieter.
Bai Cai lowered his eyes and stared at the blank desktop in front of him. It
wasn’t clear what he was thinking.
Ning Zhehan’s back straightened up involuntarily.

Yue Wenle clenched his hands into fists beneath the table.
Chen Feng didn’t mean to frighten them, but if they really didn’t do enough
mental preparation in advance, they would collapse even more after going.
The cruelty of the competition was the most obvious only when they were
able to see the insurmountable gap between different players.
This wasn’t something that could be made up with by hard work, struggle,
or persistence.
Because others had more talent, and might even be more hard working,
more persistent, and have fought for even longer.
In front of this chasm as wide as the heavens, what could they use to fight
against others with?
Chen Feng pointed at the training list and said, “Two years ago, FTW
participated in winter training. Many teams came to arrange for training
matches, since after all, it was the Team of Gods, and those who’d left FTW
were so famous that there were many people who were curious.”
Wei Xiao heard about how it was two years ago and was shaken for a
moment.
Chen Feng continued, “Do you guys think that it’s a good thing to have
people invite you to training matches?” He sneered, “The premise is that
you have the ability to cope with them.”
The FTW at the time, other than Close and Tang Chen had all been
transferred in from the reserve team. These new players couldn’t even keep
up with Tang Chen, let alone Close.
However, FTW had a big reputation. Close had just won the individual
championship, and it was like a nail in the eyes of the global professional
players.
Everyone invited FTW for training matches. Firstly, it was because they
valued this old, powerful team, and secondly, because they appreciated this
young new captain.
However…
5v5 matches weren’t the same as a 1v1 match. All the teams who made
appointments with FTW were disappointed.
The team that was once the champion team, was already dispersed like
loose grains of sand, with no sense of tacit understanding and cooperation.
Even if Close was stronger, so what?
As long as they targeted Close to death, the team would be vulnerable.
There were over a dozen training matches, and FTW lost until they were a
mess.
Chen Feng tried hard to give psychological support to these newcomers,

trying to cheer them up and find out their faults under this strong pressure
so that they could grow quickly.
But then, the mid-lane player said to him, “There’s no use! We can’t win
against them! The difference is too big!”
The thing to be the most afraid of in a game wasn’t making mistakes. It

wasn’t the gap in strength, nor was it a lineup that suppressed theirs; it was
players who’d given up.
Given up the game, and given up on themselves.
How could they win like that!
Over the years, many teams had become completely defeated by winter
training. Two years ago, FTW was one of them.
Now that they’d signed up, Chen Feng didn’t plan to hide anything. He
used a calm tone to describe FTW’s experience from two years ago.
“… At the end, Close made continuous individual game appointments with

people.”
It was fifteen days of training. In the first week, there were always people
wanting to find FTW for training matches, but they kept losing, and lost to
the point where no team was willing to play training matches with them.
But they were already there. What would it look like if they left halfway?
The fans back home could flame FTW until they disbanded.
They couldn’t leave, and could only force themselves to go on.
The proper competition was about to start soon. They couldn’t just let the
last week of training be wasted just like this, right?
At the time, many people wanted to make individual match appointments

with Close. At first, Close hadn’t wanted to waste any time on it, and
refused everyone.
But now, there was nobody fighting the 5v5 matches with them.
What to do?
Trade solo matches for 5v5 training matches.
Chen Feng exhaled softly, “Ten solo matches for one 5v5.”
When Wei Xiao heard this, he was so distressed he almost exploded,

“F*ck!”
One solo game lasted half an hour. Ten matches was five hours.
Five hours for one 5v5 training match, this was enough to make Close tired
to death!
Chen Feng closed his eyes, “They also didn’t take the training matches that
were obtained in this way seriously.”
‘They’ referred to Close’s teammates at the time.

They didn’t care about where the training matches had come from. They
only felt that they were about to collapse, and didn’t want to play. They
only wanted to escape.
The hard-earned training opportunities that Close had obtained for them
was nothing but a burden, nothing but pressure and nightmares to them.
There was silence in the meeting room.
Chen Feng looked around, “Although you’ve already signed up, there’s still
a chance to change your mind. You can tell me if you don’t want to go.”
Wei Xiao immediately spoke up, “Go! We have to go! We have to get
even!”
Damn it, a group of dogs bullied Close. If he didn’t blow them up, he, Wei
Xiao, would write his name backwards!
Chen Feng wasn’t surprised at his reaction at all. He was concerned about
the others.
The corners of Bai Cai’s mouth curved slightly. The heated blood that had
boiled when he followed Wei Xiao two years ago stirred, “I’ll do as the
Captain says.”
His words held two meanings. The captain of FTW was Lu Feng, but his
former captain was Wei Xiao.
Both of them were going, and he would follow them.
Ning Zhehan clenched his fist, his cheeks a little flushed and his voice
trembling slightly, but the words he spoke were very resolute, “I’m going!
I’m not scared of losing! I definitely won’t hold everyone back!”
Chen Feng nodded at him, then looked at Yue Wenle.
Yue Wenle glanced at Wei Xiao, then spoke slowly, “What’s so scary about
losing? A year and a half ago, I was bullied into tears by One Lamp
Grandmaster for three days and three nights, yet I didn’t give up playing
professionally.”
Chen Feng was shocked for a moment when he heard this.
Ning Zhehan’s eyes brightened and he added, “Yes! I’ve also cried before,
but I feel happy after crying, and just want to become stronger quickly!”
Yue Wenle evaluated him, “You’ve only cried once. It’s not enough.”
Ning Zhehan: “Ah, I’m really not experienced enough. I have to learn from
Brother Le!”
Yue Wenle paused for a moment and glanced at him, “How come I feel like
you’re ridiculing me?”
Ning Zhehan blinked his big eyes at him, “Did I?”
Yue Wenle pressed further, “What are you learning from me? Learning to
cry like me? Learning to cry for three days and three nights?”
Ning Zhehan: “Cough…”
Wei Xiao hurriedly tried to smooth things out, “Little Ning, you can’t learn
these things, but I can help you. Isn’t it just crying? I’m the best at making
people cry!”
Tang Chen burst out laughing.
He always had the feeling that this preventative injection was given in vain.
As expected, once Little Lunatic Wei joined, the entire team’s style has
turned strange!
Coach Chen knocked on the table, “If you have the time to compare who
can cry better than others, why don’t you go train at hitting soldiers for
three hours!”
If the most boring part of the daily training course had to be named, it
would definitely be hitting soldiers.
It was done little by little, boring and dull. Everyone was afraid of this task,
Little Lunatic Wei included.
Winter training was so settled. Everyone maintained a distance from Coach

Chen out of fear that the training time for hitting soldiers would suddenly
increase from three hours to six.
Wei Xiao followed behind Lu Feng, stepping wherever he went.
Lu Feng turned around to look at him, “What?”
Wei Xiao hesitated, and put on an affected, bashful appearance.
Lu Feng paused for a moment, then hardened his heart and said, “The plane
leaves in the morning tomorrow. You must go to bed early tonight.”
The location for the winter training camp was on an island in Southeast
Asia. It would take about five hours to fly there from S City.
Wei Xiao was still wavering.
Lu Feng’s hardened heart softened again, “Two hours.”
Lu Feng: “Time will be very tight once we arrive at the training venue, so
I’ll accompany you to solo for two hours tonight.”
“F*ck!” Wei Xiao was stunned by this unexpected joy, “Your words better
count!”
Lu Feng: “Have I ever lied to you?”
Wei Xiao was so delighted he could die, “No, not once!”

Lu Feng’s mouth raised slightly, “Go play doubles with Bai Cai first. I’ll
call you after I’m finished here.”
Wei Xiao didn’t leave.
Lu Feng: “What else?”
Other than solo, what other reason would this kid come find him for?
Wei Xiao explained, “I wasn’t aiming for solo with you. Of course, I want
it, but that’s not the point. But since you promised to give me two hours,
don’t regret it.”
“Yes.” Lu Feng was really at a loss regarding that mouth of his. He laughed
and said, “I said I’d give it to you, so I definitely will.”
Fortunately, there was no third person here. Otherwise, after listening to this
dialogue, their brains would once again end up in the gutter!
Wei Xiao took a deep breath and finally said what he’d wanted to say, “I’m
sorry!”
Wei Xiao gave him a deep bow that was full of guilt and said, “Two years
ago, I’m sorry!”
Two years ago, when FTW invited Wei Xiao, it had been at about the same
time. If he’d signed up to join the team, he would’ve gone to the winter
training camp with Close, and he wouldn’t have let Close bear so much
alone.
Two years ago, when Close needed his teammates most, he fled.
Wei Xiao felt bad whenever he thought about it.
Lu Feng looked at the young man in front of him and felt a melting warmth
in his chest.
“It’s not your fault.”
What Wei Xiao experienced two years ago doomed him to leave the
professional arena. His close relative had died, and he definitely couldn’t
have been in the mood to play.
Let alone, the Lu Feng at the time…
Lu Feng touched the young man’s soft and warm black hair. “Two years
ago, I didn’t deserve you.”
pst – unedited because xiin’s organisational skills went down the drain
somewhere…
Ch34.2 - If you put those words
just now on Weibo, the two of us
will be a confirmed CP
Wei Xiao lifted his head, looking into Lu Feng’s deep, black eyes.
Fans always liked to say that Close’s eyes were very cold. It was like a kind
of dark jade that had been frozen for thousands of years and held no trace of
emotion.
However, Wei Xiao felt that this was the most human pair of eyes he’d ever
seen.
It was like the sea shrouded in sunshine, warming him all the way to the
heart.
Wei Xiao: “Captain…”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “If you put those words just now on Weibo, the two of us will be
a confirmed CP.”
It didn’t matter how good the atmosphere was, and it didn’t matter how
pink those soap bubbles were. With Wei Xiao’s mouth, they all shattered
with a touch!
Lu Feng’s face was cold, “One hour.”

How could Wei Xiao not understand what he meant? He panicked, “You
said two hours, you said you never lie, Captain, how could you do this!”
Lu Feng: “Half an hour.”
Wei Xiao begged for mercy, “I’m wrong, I’m wrong. We’re not forming a
CP, we won’t form a CP in this lifetime!”
Lu Feng stopped walking and turned to look at him, “Wei Xiao.”
Wei Xiaoxiao acted small and subservient, “I’m listening.”
Lu Feng was expressionless, “Go to bed early.”
Wei Xiao: “???”
What do you mean, do you mean that I don’t even get half an hour?!
F*ck!
Wei Xiao was anxious, “No, no, no, Captain, I was wrong.”
Lu Feng looked at him, “What did you do wrong?”
Wei Xiao’s expression was muddled, what had he done wrong? He also
wanted to know what he’d done wrong!
As a man, survival was an instinct.
Wei Xiao tried tentatively, “Um… forming a CP?”
Lu Feng sneered.
Wei Xiao was anxious enough to die, “How about you decide?”
Lu Feng: “What am I deciding?”
Wei Xiao: “Just… about the forming of a CP?”

Lu Feng went upstairs, closing the door behind him
Wei Xiao smashed his nose right up against it!
Bai Cai came up with a glass of watermelon juice and saw Wei Xiao
standing there, “What’s the matter?”
He had the pathetic look of having been shut outside by his boyfriend.
Wei Xiao snatched away his watermelon juice and spoke in frustration,
“The captain’s words can’t be relied on.”
Sure enough, this was related to his ‘boyfriend’. Bai Cai rolled his eyes,
“Give me back my juice. Laozi just made it!”
Wei Xiao took a big, fierce sip, “You don’t even like watermelon.”
Bai Cai: “The whole base is full of watermelon. Do I have a choice?”
Wei Xiao got right to the point, “There’s also apples and oranges. You made
the juice for me.”
Bai Cai: “……………”
Damn it! This little beast didn’t deserve to be treated well at all!
The two of them entered the training room, and Bai Cai asked him, “So,
what did you do this time to provoke the captain?”
Wei Xiao sighed, “I don’t know. The captain’s heart is like a needle at the
bottom of the sea, I can’t see through to it.”
Bai Cai was a little worried about winter training, and he asked, “Is it
related to the intensive training?”
Wei Xiao nodded.
Bai Cai frowned, “What about it?”

The training that Chen Feng had talked about two years ago was really too
cruel. Bai Cai had been with the captain for nearly two years, and he also
felt heartache when he heard it.
Wei Xioao had always been open and honest to his good brother. He
finished explaining, then said, “…Tell me, tell me what you think. Isn’t
what the captain said very misleading?”
Wei Xiao still had words to say, “Say, what was wrong with what I said? If
these words went on Weibo, wouldn’t the whole world think that we’re in a
relationship?!”
Brother Cai was in very urgent need of that expression pack. Yes, the one
that said, ‘Regret, this person is really regretful’!
He shouldn’t have asked, what the hell did he ask for!
Wei Xiao was really aggrieved to death, “It wasn’t okay for me to talk about
forming a CP, yet talking about not forming a CP also didn’t work. Such a
big two hours of solo flew away just like that. They just flew away from
right in front of my eyes just like that!”
Bai Cai drank a mouthful of cold water to suppress his shock, “Old Wei.”
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
Bai Cai: “Listen to your brother’s advice. Don’t go and provoke the captain
tonight.”
Wei Xiao was unreconciled, “But he promised me.”
Bai Cai patted him on the shoulder and said somberly, “Listen to me. Your
brother wouldn’t harm you.”
If you f*cking went up and kicked up a fuss again, the captain might really
do you in a fit of rage!
Damn it!
It was too self-abusive. A one-sided love wasn’t terrible, and a secret love
wasn’t anything terrible either.
What was terrible was when one liked a little beast who was heartless,
clueless, and blind enough to reach the skies!
Bai Cai still wanted to see FTW win the championship!
It wouldn’t be a big deal if this little beast died in bed, but it would be
catastrophic if their team was left short of a person and ended up as a team
of four!
In order not to have Wei Xiao go upstairs and ‘send himself to his own
death’, Bai Cai dragged Little Ning and Old Yue to take turns
accompanying him.
The rules they set were like this: they queued in threes for ranked games,
then accompanied Wei Xiao for one solo match, all to ensure that Wei Xiao
didn’t stop for a single moment and had no energy to go find the Captain.
The training room was energetic and heated. At ten o’clock, Lu Feng went
back downstairs.
Wei Xiao had long forgotten what had taken place earlier in the evening.
Now that he saw Lu Feng coming, his eyes were glued to him again, and he
wouldn’t shift them away even when pulled at.
Lu Feng didn’t look at him and went to start up the projector, “This year’s
training is different from previous years.”
Bai Cai let out a breath of relief. Fortunately, Lu Feng was here about
serious matters and hadn’t come down to carry the little beast upstairs.
Chen Feng also came inside and let him explain the details to everyone.
This year’s winter training was really different from previous years.
As Chen Feng had said before, winter training from the past two years had
become an exclusive term for the powerful teams. Ordinary teams didn’t
participate in it at all.
Originally, the competition committee had set up the training session in

order to balance out the levels in each competition zone before the start of
the official competition so that the competition would be more fun to watch,
rather than one team dominating all the matches.
Unfortunately, the gap between the strong teams and the weak teams was
too large, and 15 days wasn’t very long. Even if all the teams were all
pulled into the same place, the strong teams only focused on training
against other strong teams.
Later, the competition committee imposed a daily draw, but this made the
situation even worse.
The weak teams who were drawn by the strong teams ended up being
abused for over 10 games, and their mentality collapsed. They simply didn’t
attend the training the next year.
They’d changed the rules back and forth, but were never able to find a
suitable solution. This year, the competition committee had come up with a
new big idea.
Only 18 teams signed up for winter training this year, but the competition
committee ‘bullied and lured’ another 18 teams to also join.
The competition committee set up a special winter training server that could
be accessed by any player who attended the training.
After they logged in, they wouldn’t be limited to only teaming up with their
teammates. Instead, they could match freely like in ranked games and try to
climb up the ladder.
This sounded like a little bit of a joke. They were all there to break in their
teams. What was the point in free matching?
However, in fact, this helped the weaker teams.
Running in a team was important, of course, but the gap between teams was
too big, and strong teams found it uninteresting to play against weaker
teams while weak teams had nothing to fight with. However, this ignored
each player’s individual ability.
Weak teams couldn’t train their teams during winter training, so it was more
useful for them to improve the personal strength of their players.
Think about it, being the great demon king’s opponent was a terrible thing,
but what would it be like to be his teammate?
Not everyone had had the chance to experience it before. Once they’d
experienced it, when they met again on the competition arena, wouldn’t the
pressure they felt be much smaller?
This was also a good thing for the players’ psychological states.
What’s more, this free matching was just the start. Winter training was still
more focused on team training.
Free matching would keep track of each player’s points.
The player with the highest points in the ranking that day could freely select
a team for a training match the next day, and the selected team could not
refuse.
This was another way in which to help the weaker teams who had added in
new players with much difficulty, but found it difficult to find training
matches to hone their team with.
Other than the free matching, teams could still freely arrange training
matches between themselves, so this change made no difference to the
strong teams.
Free matching was mainly a way to give the weak teams who wanted to
fight hard a chance, and it was this advantage that the competition
committee had used in order to bribe so many teams into participating.
36 teams. In fact, it was quite a lot.
The competition committee solved that, too. Based on a ladder draw, they
split the teams into two groups.
For example, in Group A, the leader was the 2020 championship runner-up
L&P, and the third place Pro.
The leader of Group B were the champions Y1 and fourth place EVE.
The training location for Group A was an island in Southeast Asia.
The training location for Group B was a famous holiday island in North
America.
The two groups would train separately.
China’s competition zone had had it quite tough this time. All four teams
who were attending had registered independently and hadn’t been
specifically invited.
FTW and 3U were placed in Group A.
RR and TPT were in Group B.
Whether Group A was more ferocious, or Group B was more inhumane,

would have to be determined in the domestic competition half a month
later!
After listening to all this, Wei Xiao only felt that winter training was going
to be too exciting! He didn’t even feel that bad about the two hours of solo
that had flown away anymore.
Chen Feng added, “The hotel rooms arranged by the competition committee
are all double rooms. We’ll organize the accommodation arrangements in
advance.”
Wei Xiaoxiao stuck his hand up in the air!

Chen Feng: “Speak.”
Wei Xiao asked, “Can we choose our own roommates?”
Chen Feng: “Yes.”
Bai Cai secretly thought that this was going to be bad.
Sure enough… Wei Xiao had already spoken out loud, “Can I apply to
share a room with the captain!”
Brother Cai: F*ck!
xiin: Lu Feng wants to express WX can trade those 2 hours of ‘solo’ for …
another kind of ‘solo’~ if only he understood what that meant. (poor blue
balls, they’ve still got a while to wait)
Ch35.1 - Captain, if I sleepwalk
into your bed, would you mind?
Bai Cai tried to salvage the situation, “There’s no equipment in the hotel
rooms, right!”
Xiang Liu answered, “There will definitely be computers, but we’ll bring
our own peripherals.”
Bai Cai: “……………”
Brother Liu, wake up, don’t add oil and vinegar!
Bai Cai continued to work hard, “Then, don’t let Old Wei and the captain
share a room. Won’t he stick to the captain until he can’t even leave the
room?”
After saying so, Brother Cai suspected that he was suggesting dirty things,
but he really didn’t want to engage in such a thing at all!
Wei Xiao was dissatisfied, “Old Bai, you’re slandering me.”
Bai Cai’s heart was hurting for the sake of the championship, “Do you dare
say that you’re not suggesting it for the sake of soloing with the captain?
Wei Xiao was reserved, “It’s human nature for those who have a favorable
position to want more, but I know what’s important and won’t tire the
captain out too much!”
Like hell would Bai Cai believe him. He raised his hand in protest, “Coach,
Wei Xiao is plotting and misbehaving. He definitely cannot be allowed to
stay in the same room as the captain!”
Wei Xiao rose up in revolt, “Old Bai, you’re messing up my business!”
F*ck your damned business!
Bai Cai was clearly trying to defend the little beast’s chastity, but the
situation now seemed to be reversed!
For better or worse, Xiang Liu finally clued in and hurriedly said, “About
that… This time…” There were nine people going. It was an odd number,
so the boss had a single room.
He hadn’t finished his words when Lu Feng spoke up, “I’ll share a room
with Wei Xiao.”
Bai Cai: “!”
Wei Xiao’s smile bloomed on his face, and he showed off to Bai Cai, “Did
you hear that? The captain wants to stay with me!”
Bai Cai died. He was completely, thoroughly dead.
Chen Feng hesitated for a while, then gave up thinking about it.
Forget it, Lu Feng knew what he was doing, so he didn’t have to worry
about it. Being able to keep an eye on Little Lunatic Wei would be good
too, ensuring that he wouldn’t go out and trouble others.
Coach Chen didn’t have any doubts about this. If they didn’t keep an eye on
Wei Xiao, this kid would definitely mess around with all 18 teams and the
90+ contestants there until they exploded!
There was nothing else to go over after that except to finish up the room
allocations.
Little Ning would share a room with Old Yue, and Chen Feng would share
with Tang Chen. Xiang Liu would share a room with the assistant, and as
for Bai Cai…
He’d worked hard all night and received a benefit ‘as big as the heavens’:
Our God Bai, our God of Wealth, could enjoy a single room!
Brother Cai’s laughter was full of happiness!
Wei Xiao wasn’t clear about how the rooms were allocated, because after
his own room was determined, Lu Feng looked at him, “It’s ten o’clock.”
These words weren’t understood by others, but Wei Xiao understood

instantly!
Previously, Lu Feng had promised to solo with him for two hours.
According to Lu Feng’s schedule, it would be from ten o’clock until
midnight.
The fat duck that had flown away had come back again. Wei Xiao really
didn’t care about the rooms and what not anymore.
“Quick!” Wei Xiao got up and followed Lu Feng to the doubles training
room.
The timing was perfect. Once midnight arrived, Lu Feng exited the game.
Wei Xiao felt like it hadn’t been enough, “It’s only twelve o’clock…”
Lu Feng: “Go to bed early.”
Wei Xiao thought about how the future was still long and endured it.
Lu Feng got up and asked him, “Why do you want to room with me?”
Wei Xiao replied immediately, “It’s not for the sake of soloing!”
These words of his, probably nobody in the whole FTW base would believe
him.
Wei Xiao explained, “I really wasn’t thinking about pestering you for solo
matches. It’ll be very busy when we go to the training camp, and we won’t
even be able to finish all the training matches. How could I pester you?”
Especially when he thought about how Close had used solo games to trade
for training matches two years ago, Wei Xiao just wanted to kill those guys.
How could he be like them and mess with the captain?
Lu Feng looked at him, “Then why?”
Wei Xiao stumbled and said, “Just… I just want to room with you, can’t I?”
He looked like he was really embarrassed to say it, the act was practically
perfect.
Lu Feng exposed him, “Because of your sleepwalking?”
Now that Lu Feng had guessed it, he didn’t try to hide it anymore. “Yes!
You still remember two years ago, right? I don’t even know how I opened
the door myself, and I don’t know how I got into your room or how I ended
up holding onto you and sleeping!”
Wei Xiao was really frustrated when he thought about it. He’d always had
sleepwalking problems, and so he rarely slept in a room with others.
Normally, he would also keep the bedroom door closed at home, out of fear
that he would ‘walk’ his way out and not be able to find his way back.
However, for so many years, he’d never opened any doors while
sleepwalking. He didn’t know how he’d done so two years ago.
Since it had happened once, Wei Xiao was afraid that it would happen a
second time, which was why he wanted to share a room with Lu Feng, “You
definitely have to stop me in case I open the door again!”
Wei Xiao reminded him very seriously, “Really. Think about it, two years
ago, not only did I open my own door, I also opened your door. It was really
damn amazing!”
Lu Feng: “…………”
It wasn’t really that amazing.
Two years ago, both of those two closed doors had been opened by Lu
Feng. Wei Xiao had only tossed himself into his arms and clung onto him
like an octopus, refusing to let go.
Wei Xiao shook his head and sighed, “I also never thought that
sleepwalking skills could be upgraded. It’s been two years since then, and
who knows what that sleepwalking skill has been upgraded to now? So,
captain, you have to take good care of me!”
Lu Feng moved his gaze away, “Mm.”
There was no way to explain it. He’d just let it be.
Wei Xiao looked like he was heartless and careless, but in fact, he was very
observant.
He asked, “Captain, if I sleepwalk into your bed, would you mind?”
Wanting to share a room with Lu Feng was something he’d considered

carefully.
Lu Feng had already seen his sleepwalking problem, and in any case, he’d
already lost all his face there. It was better to continue with one person.
Besides, two years ago, Lu Feng hadn’t minded him ‘climbing into his bed’.
Two years later, the two of them were on the same team, so he shouldn’t
mind, right?
In fact, he did mind a little.
Wei Xiao could see his dilemma and immediately said, “It’s okay, it’s okay.
I’ll go find Old Bai and stay…”
In any case, Old Bai knew about it too. Although that fellow was ruthless,
he would only kick him out of bed.
For the first time, Lu Feng experienced having his mouth speak faster than
his reason could kick in, “No need.”
Wei Xiao: “Huh?”
Lu Feng: “We’ll stay in the same room.”
Wei Xiao: “About that, don’t force yourself…” He couldn’t bear to see
Close be wronged.
Lu Feng frowned, “Not forcing myself.”
Wei Xiao: “You really want to live with me?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “You don’t mind if I hold you in my sleep?”
Wei Xiao: “I’ll…”
Lu Feng: “I don’t mind.”
Wei Xiao was amused, “Captain, you look like someone who is making
compromises for the general good…”
God Lu couldn’t bear to continue listening and interrupted him, “Wei

Xiao.”
Wei Xiao was startled and secretly felt that the situation wasn’t good.
Sure enough, the great demon king’s next sentence was, “We can stay in the
same room, provided you don’t come find me for solo matches in those 15
days.”
Wei Xiao: “……………………”
Shit, that was over the top!
“No way…” Wei Xiao caught up, “Captain… how about we room
separately.”
Lu Feng didn’t even turn his head back, “Too late.”
Wei Xiao: “Sigh…”
They were leaving for 15 days, and Wei Xiao was particularly worried
about Soybean.
Reasonably speaking, the training matches could be arranged online. The

reason why they all had to drag everyone into one place was due to capital
intervention.
The competition committee would use whatever means necessary to make

the matches look good. For what? It was all for money.
The proper competitions weren’t enough, and they didn’t want to let go of
even the off-season, so they’d created this special winter training.
It was true that the original intention of the competition committee was to
narrow the skill gap between different competition zones so that the global
competition wouldn’t be dominated by powerful teams while
simultaneously giving new teams some opportunities.
However… since they’d already organized it, it was illogical not to try and
make some money off of it along the way.
The winter training competitions wouldn’t be broadcasted live. After all, the
scores didn’t count, and winning or losing wasn’t meaningful, so the
audience’s interest wouldn’t be particularly high. But, they could shoot
content of the players’ daily lives. After so many years, Glory had
developed from a state where people simply watched the game at the very
start, to now, where many star players were really worthy of the word ‘star’.
They could capture the interaction between top class players, arrange some
daily activities, and someone might become the new hot topic at any
minute.
As long as there was traffic, sponsors would immediately be willing to pay

for it, which meant that it was a little bit like a reality show.
Being able to see the players during the off-season and to be able to see so
many of them at the same time, was something that made the fans
extremely happy!
So, the competition committee pulled everyone together for training. In any
case, the sponsors would pay for the hotel, venue, and itinerary.
Early in the morning, Wei Xiao was doing some ideological preparation
with Soybean, “Son, be good, your father will bring you back delicious
food!”
Soybean: “Aroo!”
Wei Xiao rubbed its doggy head, “And buy you toys!”
Soybean: “Arooo!”
Wei Xiao was reluctant to part from it and continued to coax, “Daddy will
have video calls with you every day!”
Soybean didn’t understand a thing, “Arooooo!”
It continued until Xiang Liu brought over a little female assistant, “Don’t
worry, the base has arranged for people to take good care of it.”
The man and dog who had ‘deep familial feelings’ and were inseparable
from each other, were separated in an instant.
Soybean pounced at the little assistant girl with a happy whine.
The little sister wasn’t afraid, and her smile became even more beautiful,
“Oh, it’s so enthusiastic.”
Soybean forgot all about its dad once it saw a beauty, wrapping itself
around the beautiful young assistant with delighted cries.
How had he managed to raise such a doggy thing!
Lu Feng just arrived downstairs in time to see the sullen Wei Xiao.
‘What’s the matter?” Lu Feng asked him.
Wei Xiao’s tone wasn’t happy, “I experienced the feeling of being forgotten
by one’s son after they’ve found a daughter-in-law!”
Lu Feng then saw Soybean playing together with the assistant.
As soon as Soybean caught sight of Lu Feng, it left the little sister behind to
come for hugs.
Lu Feng scratched its chin, his black eyes soft, “Look after the place.”
Soybean used its big head to rub against him, acting incredibly intimate.
Bai Cai had also just arrived downstairs, and Wei Xiao spoke in a sour tone,
“What does this dog mean with this?!”
Bai Cai dragged his expensive little suitcase behind him, “Hm?”
Wei Xiao spoke angrily, “Tell me, between me and the captain, who is more
attractive?”
Bai Cai: “???”
It was so early in the morning. How come he was being asked this kind of
dangerous question?!
i <3 Soybean
Ch35.2 - Bai Cai: Are you f*cking
straight?!
Wei Xiao’s actions weren’t small, and Lu Feng also heard him. He shot him
a sideways glance and said, “You’re good looking.”
Bai Cai: “!!!”
His hand slipped, and Brother Cai almost allowed his 66,000 yuan suitcase
to roll down the stairs.
Wei Xiao stared at Soybean, “You’re just coaxing me. Look, it’s clearly
closer to you!”
This dog was like a beauty value tester. It was incredibly accurate.
Lu Feng gave Soybean a very gentle smile, “If you spend more time with it,
it’d be close with you too.”
If you wanted Wei Xiao to get up at seven in the morning, it was better to
just kill him.
“Forget it, forget it.” Wei Xiao willingly gave up, “You’re still better
looking. Our Close is the first male god of Glory, handsome enough to
break the skies!”
Bai Cai, who was carefully guarding his small suitcase, “……”
Why the hell did I want to be here!
Lu Feng had arranged everything properly. Just based on the little assistant
girl’s appearance, the husky would definitely have a good time over the
next 15 days.
Being an appearance-lover dog was great, it was wonderful. Happiness
came in such a direct and simple way.
The flight was booked for 11 o’clock. Although they didn’t have to set
aside too much time for boarding due to their business class tickets, the
base was a little far from the airport, and they had to leave at 9 o’clock.
Wei Xiao was seated beside Bai Cai in the nanny car.
Wei Xiao: “The captain really doesn’t have it easy.”
Bai Cai thought to himself: It was fortunate that the captain had a job to be
busy with. Otherwise, you would simply stick yourself to him! Could you
be a little more reserved!
Wei Xiao continued to chatter on in a low voice, “Say, why is the gap
between different people so big? The captain is two years older than me.
How come he’s already won four championships and bought a club?”
Wei Xiao was a total Close cheerleader. He was very qualified for the job,
“He can run a club while playing professionally. The key point is that his
skills haven’t been impacted at all. I’m often very puzzled about whether or
not there’s anything in this world that can trouble Close.”
Bai Cai glanced at him and thought to himself: This something was
probably both as far as the skies and as near as right in front of him.
Wei Xiao continued to praise, “He’s handsome, and it has to be admitted

that Soybean, this damned dog, has really good eyes. Our captain is better
looking than I am.”
Bai Cai couldn’t hold back anymore, “Old Wei.”
Bai Cai stared at him, “Are you still f*cking straight?”

Wei Xiao didn’t understand, “Straight?”
Bai Cai moved his mouth: Gay.
Wei Xiao understood Bai Cai’s meaning and cursed, “Get lost!”
Bai Cai gave him a very focused look.
Wei Xiao was very calm, “Answer a few questions for me.”
Bai Cai: “Ask.”
Wei Xiao: “Is the captain strong or not?”
Bai Cai: “…Strong.”
“Is the captain amazing or not?”
“Amazing.”
“Is the captain handsome or not?”
“Handsome.”
Wei Xiao patted Bai Cai on the shoulder, “Old Bai, are you straight?”
Bai Cai: “……………”
F*ck, he’d been led so off-track they were now in the cornfields!
It was an hour’s drive. Wei Xiao had slept late last night, and at this time, he
was fast asleep against the window.
When he woke up, he caught a glimpse of Bai Cai looking through his
Weibo.
Bai Cai was logged into his Gossip Emperor account and was currently
editing a photo.
Wei Xiao’s eyes were hazy with sleep, “Asleep?”
Bai Cai’s fingers moved like they were flying, and a short post came
whistling out, “Yes, 3U’s flight was one flight earlier than ours.”
News about the special winter training had already been spread out on the
internet. After learning about the teams’ itinerary, many fans went to camp
out at the airport for photos and signatures.
Wei Xiao leaned over and saw the photo, “Tsk tsk tsk.”
Bai Cai pushed him away, “Don’t stare so much.”
Wei Xiao: “It’s not your photo, so what if I stare at it?”
Bai Cai: “I’m afraid you’ll turn crooked from all the staring!”
Wei Xiao tsked and took out his cell phone to search up the Gossip Emperor
on Weibo to see his latest post.
The photo Bai Cai was using had been contributed by the fans. The little
sister had very powerful skills, and the photo was particularly beautiful.
After checking in their luggage, the 3U captain leaned against his vice-
captain’s shoulder and slept in a daze; the 3U vice-captain Cong Yi’s
expression was normal as he signed for fans, having become used to it long
ago.
There were five or six photos taken in a row, from all angles and in all
directions.
According to Wei Xiao’s unprofessional inspection, they may even have

turned on a filter!
Little sisters, you are all very hard-working.
He watched the comments and forwarding skyrocket on Weibo. A whole

pile of girls had been moved into happy squeals, and they were as happy as
if they’d really eaten a mouthful of sugar.
Wei Xiao was just about to close it when a new comment popped up––
“Our Pajamas CP is real! 3U is really too sweet! The Immortals CP with

immortal appearances, it’s such a happy occasion to be a 3U girl. I won’t
chase after FTW anymore. The great demon king’s great wall of CPs are all
fake, and each and every one of them is poison. This old lady only wants to
eat candy, not swallow knives!”
Wei Xiao stared at it for a while.
This comment was quickly swept down beneath countless other comments,
all of which were either complaining to high heaven or filled with sorrow.
“Do you guys ship FTW’s new CP?”
“Close and Quiet?”
“No, no. The ship won’t sail, that ship won’t sail. The great demon king has
no feelings, and Little Q will end up as the next abandoned wife.”
“Wake up, fellow sisters. It’s good to be Close’s poison fan. Don’t look for
abuse with CPs and such.”
These hundreds of comments that came at the speed of light inspired Wei
Xiao’s professional heart.
What was going on?
Weren’t Close and Quiet attractive? Yet you guys actually don’t want to
ship it!
What’s so good about the Pajamas CP?
Wasn’t it just…
Sleeping on each other’s shoulders.
Wei Xiao put down his cell phone and asked Bai Cai, “Will we meet fans
when we arrive at the airport?”
Bai Cai was in the middle of something, “Of course. Don’t you know how
popular FTW is?”
Wei Xiao nodded, “Okay.”
These fans were really not good enough. He had to help them set up the
right attitude.
What was the point in shipping the Pajamas CP? If Asleep and Cong Yi
were really gay, then their kids would already be old enough to make soy
sauce!
The CPs were equally fake. Why didn’t they ship him and Close!
As Bai Cai had said, FTW was really very popular.
Many fans came up to ask for their autographs as soon as they arrived at the
airport.
One girl had sharp eyes and noticed Wei Xiao, and her eyes suddenly
brightened, “He-hello…”
Wei Xiao smiled slightly, “Hello.”
The girl’s cheeks were red, “Excuse me, are you Quiet?”
The sound of inhales came from all around them. It was for no other reason,
but because Wei Xiao’s face was really attractive.
It was especially the case with the lazy smile on his face, making people
blush and their hearts thump.
Although there were fans, at the end of the day, the players weren’t stars,
and nobody would purposely delay the contestants’ schedule. After asking
for autographs, they wouldn’t continue to surround them. Of course, the
fans would still continue to watch secretly until they finished passing the
security check.
After the security check, Wei Xiao suddenly called out, “Captain.”
Lu Feng, who was at the front speaking with the assistant, turned around,
“Hm?”
Wei Xiao walked over, “I want to tell you something.”
Lu Feng stopped, “What…”
He hadn’t finished his question when the youth suddenly came close, his
warm breath brushing against his ear. The low voice drifted straight into his
ear, “Don’t move.”
Wei Xiao curved his lips and said quietly, “It’ll be done soon.”
Even before Lu Feng could say anything, Wei Xiao had already pulled
away. He blinked at Lu Feng, “Done.”
Lu Feng stared at him.
Wei Xiao gave him a nudge from behind, “Let’s go, let’s go. Pass security!”
Come on, little sisters, I’m waiting for your photos!
It wasn’t until they entered the lounge that Wei Xiao gave Lu Feng an
explanation, “You see, I’ve just joined the team and don’t have much
popularity, so I wanted to take a bit of the captain’s popularity.”
The FTW crowd who’d witnessed the whole process, “……”
Wei Xiao looked at Xiang Liu, “Brother Liu, am I right? Other teams all
indulge their fans. We should also conduct ourselves properly!”
The manager’s head was covered in a thin layer of sweat, “Yes, indeed.”
A contestant that was so cooperative. It was the first damned time Brother
Liu had seen such a thing across the whole Glory circle!
Lu Feng glanced at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao was very candid, “Isn’t that right, captain~”
Lu Feng grabbed him by the front of his clothes and pulled him over.
Wei Xiao: “!”
Looking at this face from such a close distance, the impact was really great!
Lu Feng: “Take a photo.”
Old Bai: “…………………………” F*ck!
There was a ‘click’.
Lu Feng released Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao slapped his own chest, “Amazing, my captain.”
It was fortunate he wasn’t a girl. If he was a girl, wouldn’t he end up

wanting nobody but him!
Ten minutes later, Weibo exploded.
First was the Gossip Emperor’s Weibo, when it forwarded a photo

contributed by the fans.
The photo was taken at the airport. The cold-faced great demon king was
looking back, while a young man with black hair and pale skin leaned over,
saying something unknown into his ear.
The youth had beautiful eyes and features. The corners of his lips were
raised up in a half smile, and there was a sense of banter beneath his long
eyelashes.
Close’s face was caught in profile, his slender neck stretching out from his
collar, his skin pale and cold against the dark team uniform, but the tips of
his ears were a little red.
The Weibo content was one line of text from Brother Cai, who’d sent
himself into seclusion and had self-exploded: Seclusion CP, learn about it.
Juurensha: Poor Bai Cai hahahaha. And of course WX captain of his own
ship. xiin: omggg he’s so clueless about his feelings HAHAHA
Ch36.1 - The captain is so fierce~!
There was no doubt that the traffic for the Gossip Emperor’s Weibo had just
reached a new peak.
It was a simple sentence, but because the photo was so powerful, the
comments caused it to shoot all the way up like a rocket.
“Who is this? Who is this person who molested my husband?!”
“The tips of his ears are red! The great demon king’s ears are red!”
“Seclusion? Who are the Seclusion CP? I just went to sleep, why did the
sky collapse when I woke up?”
“The little brother is wearing FTW’s team clothing, and they’re on the way
to training. Who else is a member of FTW’s starting line-up who hasn’t
shown his face yet?!”
“Quiet!”
“Is God Q really so good looking?!”
“I’m in love, I’m in love, that little face, that evil smile, this old lady’s
young maiden heart!”
“I’m done for. Does your FTW pick your starters based on their faces? Why
is everyone from the captain to the newcomer all so good looking?”
“I’m a fan of an e-sports contestant, right?! Why do they all look like
idols??”
“I already thought that Baby Ning was handsome, I didn’t expect the new
top-laner to be so to my taste.”
“He’s teasing God Lu, ahhhh he dares to tease God Lu!”
“Sisters, I’m alright again. This pair is a little tempting. I really want to ship
it!”
“All of a sudden, I feel a little heartache for Brother Cai.”
“Heartache +1.”
“Heartache +π…”
“Heartache for the Preserved Vegetables sisters, their house is collapsing

right in front of their eyes!”
“Haha, what collapsing? For better or worse, my God Bai is considered

pretty and handsome in the e-sports circle, yet now that he’s fallen to FTW,
he’s really being compared to vegetables.”
“Brother Cai is the real hammer…”
“Brother Cai is stable.”
Bai Cai’s mouth twitched when he skimmed through these posts. What was
wrong with these girls? Did they actually know who was giving them
happiness every day!
It was fine if they didn’t praise him, but they even tried to bury him!
Ah….
The Gossip Emperor wanted to delete his account every day.
Wei Xiao was also looking through Weibo. He frowned after he saw it, “Old
Bai, what are you doing!”
Bai Cai didn’t want to pay attention to him and played dead.
Wei Xiao wouldn’t let him off just like that, “I already said that the
Seclusion CP is an unlucky name, why would you give it the stamp of
approval? I wanted to stimulate the masses to brainstorm and come up with
the perfect CP name!”
Bai Cai lay on his back on the sofa. He was already a yellowed, white
cabbage that had been tossed onto the ground.
Regarding the Seclusion CP, Bai Cai hadn’t explained much, but the
comments were more than enough to make up for it.
“Why is it the Seclusion CP?”
“Because it’s Close and Quiet?”
“I think it’s because they hammer the other side into seclusion.”
“Those who abuse themselves with the great demon king’s great wall of
CPs will all go into seclusion?”
“They’re all fine, they all work, there’s no problem with it. As long as you
don’t send a knife and have me go into seclusion!”
Wei Xiao was still unhappy, “Sigh, none of the CP names are satisfying. Is
coming up with a CP name such a troublesome thing?”
Bai Cai closed his eyes, “……” I’m in the middle of seclusion. Do not
disturb.
Wei Xiao let out a long sigh, “We can’t even find the right CP name. Is it
not suitable for me and the team captain to engage in a CP?”
You two are indeed not suitable for CPs. You two are f*cking suited for
becoming a couple!
Forget it, forget it, there was no need to rush up for self-abuse. Brother Cai
meditated quietly.
Seeing that Bai Cai was ignoring him, Wei Xiao continued looking through
his cell phone and was struck by inspiration.
That’s right…
The thing that really flipped Weibo upside down was what Wei Xiao did
next.
The Gossip Emperor’s Weibo post made the ‘pot’ boil, but Quiet made the
‘pot’ explode!
Wei Xiao sent out a post, and the content was: “The captain is so fierce~!”
The photo that came with it had Close holding the front of his clothing,
their gazes locked together.
Bai Cai had taken the photo. As the veteran Gossip Emperor, any photo he
took casually could still convey that kind of feeling.
Close’s long fingers were grasping Quiet’s dark team uniform, the pale
white and black forming a very strong visual impact. Both of them were in
profile, one with hooded eyes, and one looking surprised. An invisible layer
of tension painted the entire photo, as though in the next moment, the two
of them would…
“Kiss, kiss, kiss!”
“Where’s the head-pressing team? These two people are in urgent need of
support!”
“Oh my mother, God Lu is all alpha!”
“Is this the follow-up? Is this the part where Little Q gets the tables turned
on him after teasing the great demon king?”
“Wait a minute… who sent out this Weibo post?”
“Quiet himself!”
“God Q is so… wild?”
“Think about the live broadcast two days ago…”
“Not only is he making waves, he’s basically making shock waves!”
Wei Xiao didn’t look at his cell phone after sending out the message,
because they’d boarded the plane ahead of time.
The Glory competition committee arranged for economy class tickets, but
FTW upgraded the whole team to business class, ensuring that everyone
could sleep comfortably during the five hour trip.
The boarding passes were all grouped together. The seat in Wei Xiao’s
hands was near Bai Cai, but he didn’t want to be next to Brother Cai.
Brother Cai had a little problem that was neither small nor big; he couldn’t
sleep on a plane no matter how long or short the flight was.
He couldn’t sleep, but he would still feel sleepy. In order to make himself a
little more comfortable while reading books, he would continuously drink
coffee.
If he drank too much, he would have to run to the toilet. Back and forth,
back and forth…
Wei Xiao, who could fall asleep as soon as he got on the plane, might end
up irritated to death by him!
Wei Xiao leaned in close to Lu Feng, “Captain!”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
He leaned away from him slightly out of fear that he would jump up next to
his ear again.
Wei Xiao asked him, “Do you still have things to do after boarding?”
In the minivan, Lu Feng and the assistant had been busy for a long time.
Wei Xiao couldn’t be sure if he would still be busy for the five hours on the
plane.
Lu Feng certainly wouldn’t be finished with the things that needed to be

done, but…
Lu Feng: “Yes?”
Wei Xiao blinked his eyes, “If you’re not busy, can I sit next to you?”
The end of the sentence was a little drawn out and very much infused with a
spoiled tone.
Lu Feng’s ears trembled, “……”
Wei Xiao: “Can I!”
Lu Feng: “… Alright.”
Wei Xiao’s smile bloomed, “’Kay!”
Lu Feng couldn’t help but ask him, “Why did you think of sitting next to
me.”
Although Wei Xiao was disdaining Brother Cai, it wasn’t something he

would say out loud. He answered vaguely, “Nothing, really.”
Lu Feng looked at him.
Wei Xiao instantly came up with a reason, “I sleep soundly around you!”
Bai Cai, who was behind them, stumbled and almost fell to his knees.
He knew what Wei Xiao was thinking. Wasn’t he just disdaining him for
disturbing his sleep?
Laozi wouldn’t bite you if you told the damn truth. Did you have to be so,
so…
F*ck, there was still a chance to live if the heavens were messing with you,
but if you made trouble for yourself, there was really no saving yourself.
Wei Xiaoxiao, you’re on your own!
So, Wei Xiao ended up seated by Lu Feng.
In fact, it wasn’t a big deal to sit next to each other. International flights
were all on big planes, and the seats in business class were very spacious.
There wouldn’t be a situation where heads ended up bumping together.
Wei Xiao was really very sleepy. After he separated from Lu Feng last
night, he’d gone on to play ranked games on his own and had only gone to
sleep at 4AM.
He’d only gotten 30 or 40 minutes of sleep in the minivan, and it was not
enough at all.
After the plane took off, he instantly fell asleep without even taking a sip of
his lemonade.
Lu Feng looked at Wei Xiao, and the corner of his lips curved slightly: He
was really sleeping soundly.
It was unknown if it was because he was tired or something else, but Lu

Feng, who normally couldn’t sleep on planes, actually started to also feel
sleepy.
Lu Feng rubbed his forehead, switched off his computer, turned his head,
and fell asleep.
Bai Cai was really unable to sleep. He wouldn’t be able to sleep even if he
was beaten to death and had to rely on coffee to survive, drinking one cup
after another.
As a result, he became addicted to going to the toilet…

Halfway through the trip, Bai Cai had just come out of the toilet when he
happened to pass by Wei Xiao’s and Lu Feng’s seats.
His hands itched when he saw the scene, and he almost took out his cell
phone to take a photo right then and there.
In the wide seats, Wei Xiao lay on his side facing Lu Feng, his long legs
curled up, and his hair covering his forehead. His eyes that were full of
arrogance at normal times were closed, and he looked very cute and well-
behaved when he was quiet.
Lu Feng was lying on his back beside him. The ‘hands of god’ that fans
praised all the way to the heavens were placed on his belly, and his coat was
draped casually over his legs. His collar was slightly open, exposing half of
his collarbone due to the way his head was tilted, and the long, slender neck
led up to his relaxed, sleeping face.
His head was leaning to the side, towards Wei Xiao.
It was two people who weren’t leaning that close to each other, yet the
scene inexplicably gave off a sense of mutual dependence.
Unfortunately, the Seclusion girls wouldn’t be able to see this classic scene.
Wei Xiao slept very contentedly and was fully refreshed after he got off the
plane.
After they picked up their luggage and boarded the minivan, Wei Xiao
opened up Weibo again.
He sucked in a breath of surprise as soon as it opened up.
Everyone looked at him.
Wei Xiao looked at it carefully, then asked Ning Zhehan, “How many fans
do you have on Weibo?”
Ning Zhehan had started to become famous even at the training camp, and
he went through another round of publicity after joining FTW. Little Ning
looked at his fan count very seriously and said, “Around 1.5 million.”
Wei Xiao sighed, “I’m at 2 million.”
How many days had it been since the account was created?
FTW hadn’t even publicized it seriously and hadn’t posted any official
marketing posters. This fan count…
Xiang Liu, as the club manager, was also surprised, “It was less than a
million when I checked yesterday.”
The operations department of the club would pay attention to the team’s
Weibo accounts. After all, it was a matter of some importance.
Wei Xiao shook his head, “It’s still rising. It seems like it’ll surpass Bai Cai
by evening.”
Bai Cai’s main account only had around 2.5 million fans. It was quite a far
cry from the Gossip Emperor’s 7 million fans.
Little Ning was very supportive and flattering, “Brother Xiao, you’re too
amazing!”
Wei Xiao’s tail had already been cocked up in pride, and now, he became
even prouder. Yet his voice was modest as he said, “It’s all thanks to the CP
fans.”
Little Ning paused. Instinct told him that the situation wasn’t good.
Sure enough, Wei Xiao’s next sentence was all about his ‘lousy idea’,
“Don’t worry, we can also form a CP. Your fan count will instantly soar up
to the heavens!”
Ning Zhehan: “!!!”

Ch36.2 - Sweet and sour, have some
vinegar~
Lu Feng, who was on the left, glanced over at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao was unaware of it and was still enthusiastically helping a bro, “In
a bit, have Old Bai help us take a photo, just like the one with me and the
captain. It’ll definitely…”
He hadn’t even finished speaking, yet Ning Zhehan could feel a chill sweep
over. He quickly waved his hands, “No need, no need!”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t be shy. Many girls don’t even play games, but they come
to the scene every time to cheer us on. What do you think it’s for?”
Ning Zhehan: “…………”
He didn’t know, and he didn’t want to know. Could he choose not to hear
it?!
Wei Xiao was really able to see things a little too clearly, “They come to see
our love and affection!”
Ning Zhehan: “……………………”
The pitiful granny gray sent his teammates looks that pleaded for help, but
Old Yue was deeply engrossed in his chips, Old Bai had his eyes closed to
save energy, and the captain…
Lu Feng set down his tablet and glanced over, “Can you do it?”
These words were spoken to Wei Xiao.

Lu Feng: “Two million is enough to affect one point five million?”
Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly saw the light, “Oh,
right. I don’t have enough fans. As expected….”
As soon as he started speaking, Ning Zhehan was scared: Big boss, please
don’t have the captain help me increase my fans ahhhhh, I want to be alive
when I arrive at the training, ahh!!
Wei Xiao’s brain circuits were destined to be different from others. He

could be heard saying, “… As expected, some people have to become
successful first. How about this, I’ll first take advantage of the captain’s
popularity, and after the captain’s CP with me explodes through the whole
internet, I’ll take you up!”
Little Ning: “……”
The ups and downs his heart was experiencing now were more stimulating
than the finals in the youth training camp!
Lu Feng called out to him, “Wei Xiao.”
Wei Xiao immediately looked over, “Here!”
Lu Feng: “Be focused with your work.”
Wei Xiao didn’t quite understand, “Ah?”
Then, he got it and nodded. “I understand. I will be focused in the future

and only work with the captain!”
Lu Feng replied calmly, “Mm.”
Everyone in the vehicle: “??????”
It was fortunate that the drive didn’t understand Chinese. Otherwise, the
vehicle would probably have ended up heading towards the suburbs!
Wei Xiao took advantage of one success to get more, “Captain!”
Lu Feng: “?”
Wei Xiao: “See, I’m so sensible and understanding. Can you solo with me a
little bit in the next 15 days?”
Lu Feng stressed, “Focus.”
Wei Xiao was surprised, “Only focused on work, and not allowed to solo?”
Wei Xiao was now regretting it, “Captain, what do you think about this? I
won’t work with you and only focus on soloing with you!”
Lu Feng glanced at the assistant, “Have you finished changing the

contract?”
The innocent assistant who was shot at while lying down, “???”
You approved the proposal only five minutes ago. I can’t have finished
changing it by now even if I had 10 hands!
All the way until the minivan arrived at the training grounds, Wei Xiao still
didn’t have another chance to talk to Lu Feng.
The competition committee had probably obtained quite a lot of

sponsorship funds, as they’d directly taken over an entire resort hotel. The
environment and conditions were incredibly good.
When they checked in, they were also given game accounts that were linked
exclusively to the winter training server.
These IDs had been certified in advance and couldn’t be changed. Of

course, there was also no need to change them.
FTW couldn’t be considered to have arrived early. There were other teams
arriving in a continuous stream, but they weren’t familiar with each other
and didn’t exchange greetings.
3U had departed earlier than FTW, but it was a pity that their flight was
delayed or two hours because of a connecting flight, and they hadn’t yet
arrived.
The front desk gave Xiang Liu an itinerary, on which was written today’s
general arrangements.
All the teams would arrive by evening. There was a pre-training meeting
and a performance match at nine o’clock that would mark the start of winter
training.
Wei Xiao was curious about the performance match, “Who is playing
against whom?”
Bai Cai looked at the itinerary, “Do you need to think about it? It must be
L&P and Pro.”
The so-called performance match was definitely a way to have the strongest
teams from last season come up on stage. It would simulate everyone’s
passion and act as a warm up ahead of time.
L&P was the runner up from last season, while Pro had taken third place.
Just thinking about it was enough to make them excited and hot-blooded.
Let alone the fact that L&P’s captain Yuan Ze and Pro’s starting ADC Kim
Sung-hyun were old teammates.
These two had once played together in the Team of Gods, and the legends
about them were still unforgettable to this day.
Yuan Ze was well-known in North America. To be so respected by

Westerners despite being Chinese, there was no need to talk about how
strong he was. After returning to South Korea, Kim Sung-hyun crushed all
his predecessors, slaughtering a bloody path to the top in the South Korea
competition zone that was known for frequently creating immortal ADCs!
Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun had attracted so much fame and attention. In
contrast, their old home, FTW, was really a little pitiful.
With the exception of a Close, this year’s FTW still had nothing going for
them.
Take a look at the two newcomers. They were very handsome, but what was
the use in that?
This was e-sports, where they fought with strength. It was completely
useless to have a better face without any achievements.
Other than Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun, the teams from other competition
zones hadn’t paid any attention to Wei Xiao’s live broadcast back in China.
What kind of seedling could be found in the China competition zone that
had been on the downturn for a long time?
The main rivals were still in the North America, Europe, and South Korea
competition zones.
The pre-training meeting was set at 8PM, in a large banquet hall in the
hotel.
The competition committee had made arrangements ahead of time. The

banquet hall could easily accommodate 100-200 people, and equipment had
been set up on the center stage. It seemed that the performance competition
that kicked off the winter training would also take place here.
Because the banquet hall was very spacious, nobody’s seats were fixed, and
they could sit wherever they wanted.
The teams wore their team uniforms when they entered the hall, so it was
easy to identify them. The teams who were from the same competition zone
or who were already acquaintances all greeted each other.
The hall turned silent when FTW came in.

Many people stared at Close. Some had heated gazes, some looked sorry,
and some were sarcastic––
The number one in the world, with three consecutive singles

championships.
This reputation wasn’t false, yet it was also not quite true.
No matter how strong Close’s personal strength was, Close was doomed to
be unable to leave FTW, and FTW was already an incompetent team that
couldn’t support itself.
A golden phoenix in a dilapidated town. How ridiculous.
These gazes were too direct, and Ning Zhehan, who was inherently more
sensitive already, felt uncomfortable.
Yue Wenle was also silent. Bai Cai lowered his gaze and followed behind,
not meeting anyone’s gaze.
Wei Xiao frowned. There were ten thousand unhappy feelings bubbling
away in his heart.
Lu Feng’s expression was cold as he walked straight ahead.
The air pressure around the entire FTW hit rock bottom.
Chen Feng couldn’t help worrying. Although he’d already done

psychological preparation in advance, everything was just empty talk in
front of really experiencing this pressure.
Even Wei Xiao’s face was stiff. As for the others…
They’d just sat down when Wei Xiao couldn’t help muttering in a low
voice, “Damn it… they’re all staring at Close, what are they looking at!”

Wei Xiao continued angrily, “Even I can’t solo with him for these 15 days.
They shouldn’t even think about it!”
So your frown was so tense, and your expression so serious because you
were angry about this?
Wei Xiao was not at ease. He leaned close to Lu Feng and called to him,
“Captain!!”
Wei Xiao stared at him, “In these 15 days, don’t solo with anyone!”
Lu Feng was a little shocked.
Wei Xiao stressed, “As long as you don’t solo with anyone, I won’t pester
you for solo games either!”
Thinking about how Close had soloed with people for the sake of training
matches two years ago, he was really unhappy!
After saying that, Wei Xiao felt that he’d been too domineering and
continued explaining, “I mean, you’re not allowed to wrong yourself. If
there’s someone you really want to solo with, you can…” Damn it, he
couldn’t go on. He felt so sour. As soon as he thought of Lu Feng sincerely
wanting to solo with others, he felt so sour that he was making bubbles of
sourness!
Lu Feng’s cold face finally gained some warmth, “There isn’t.”
Wei Xiao paused.
Lu Feng spoke softly, “There’s nobody here I want to solo with.”
The sour vinegar bubbles in Wei Xiao’s chest fermented and instantly
became a flow of heat, “Really?”
Lu Feng: “They are all losers beneath my hands. There’s no meaning in
soloing with them.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Other than Close, there was nobody else who was qualified to say such a
thing.
In the entire banquet hall, there were 18 elite teams that came out of 16
competition zones. It added up to nearly 90 players in starting lineups, and
all of them had lost to Close!
Not only was Wei Xiao’s eyes bright, even Ning Zhehan was sitting up
straighter.
What were they afraid of?
What was there to be afraid of?
The strongest person in the world was in their FTW. What did they have to
be afraid of!
Wei Xiao’s heart was itchy. It was so itchy that he couldn’t wait to turn on
the computer and have a huge battle with Lu Feng right now!
The powerful Close.
The dazzling Close.
The Close that nobody on earth could beat!
This was the world’s number one who he’d been chasing after for two
years!
Lu Feng paused for a moment, then suddenly added, “Oh, that’s not right.”
Wei Xiao was dazed for a second.
Lu Feng: “There’s still one person.”

Wei Xiao’s mood, that had flown up to the skies, suddenly dropped down
again, “Who!”
Was it that nasty guy Yuan Ze?
Or was it Kim Sung-hyun!
Lu Feng smiled, “You.”
Wei Xiao blinked.
Lu Feng revised his statement, “Other than you, there’s nobody here I want
to solo with.”
Ch37.1 - I was born one of Close’s
people, and I’ll die as Close’s ghost!
The corner of Wei Xiao’s lips went up and up, until it was almost next to
the sun.
Everyone in FTW couldn’t keep watching anymore. They all bowed their
heads to do their own thing. Fortunately, they were surrounded by
foreigners who didn’t understand Chinese. Otherwise…
Who the hell knew what would happen otherwise!
Wei Xiao was very embarrassed, “Although I know that you value me, I
didn’t expect that you valued me so much.”
He looked like he was embarrassed, but his words didn’t come across that
way at all.
Lu Feng was about to answer, but he then heard Wei Xiao ask him, “But
aren’t I also someone who was defeated at your hands?”
If those who’d suffered defeat weren’t worth soloing with, then Wei
Xiaoxiao had lost countless times, so wasn’t that also meaningless?
Lu Feng: “You will win.”
Wei Xiao’s tail cocked up, “That’s true, I’m still a newcomer…”
He thought of Lu Feng’s ‘evaluation’ of him and quickly added, “I have a

promising future, right?”
Lu Feng replied, “Yes, the future is promising.”

Wei Xiao really loved these words. His heart was heated, and he started to
climb up the ladder again, “How about we let this future… come a little
faster?” The sooner they soloed the sooner he would grow! He wanted to
win against Close!
The corner of Lu Feng’s lips turned down, “You want to solo?”
Wei Xiao nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice, excited and
expectant.
Lu Feng tried to keep his face straight, “Regular season…”
He didn’t need to finish the words. Wei Xiao collapsed back in his chair and
directly answered, “I get it, I get it!”
He mimicked Lu Feng’s tone and said, “Was the regular season a grand
slam? Did you win all the playoffs? Have you taken home the world cup? If
you haven’t done any of it, then how…”
Everyone in the venue: “……”
Wei Xiao’s arrogant words had just fallen, and the originally noisy banquet
hall fell silent.
Everyone had clearly heard Wei Xiao’s words.
Wei Xiao didn’t take it seriously. There were over a hundred people, but no
more than 20 of them could understand Chinese. So what if they’d heard?
Besides, even if they could understand, so what?
Daddy Xiao dared to say it and do it. There was nothing to be afraid of!
Bai Cai, who was sitting behind him, knew why the scene had suddenly
gone quiet.
It wasn’t because of Wei Xiao’s ‘bluster’, but because of a group of people
who’d walked in from entrance number 2.
Half of them wore L&P’s silver-grey team uniform, while the other half
wore Pro’s blue and white team uniform, and the two people leading the
teams were both very attractive.
The man in the silver-gray team uniform to the left had short black hair and
black eyes. He was talking to the person next to him, and a white agate ear
stud sparkled in the light, lending to his frivolous and arrogant appearance.
This was L&P’s team captain, Yuan Ze. Regardless of whether it was the
North American competition zone or the China competition zone, everyone
had the same evaluation: Marshal, a scum man.
The other man in the blue and white team uniform to the right had slightly
long, curly black hair. He had a pair of phoenix eyes beneath long
eyebrows, and a tear mole beneath his left eye. When he didn’t smile, he
looked cold and proud, but his expression became a little ambiguous and
intimate when he smiled.
Pro’s leading ADC, Kim Sung-hyun, had numerous fans in China in the
early years of his career. After returning to his home country, he continued
to be popular and still had countless fans in the China competition zone.
The reason for this was because, back when he was in FTW’s Team of
Gods, he was the one who had the most reason to leave.
After all, when the contract expired, there was nothing wrong with
returning back to his home country and switching allegiances.
The people in the banquet hall didn’t care what they looked like, though.
They only cared that they were strong.
It was just like when Close came in, they had all paid attention. How could
they not stare when these two teams arrived?
L&P was last year’s world championship runner-up, and Gary had taken
second place in the individual competition.
As for Pro, not only had they taken third place in the team competition,
Kim Sung-hyun and his teammate Li Heran had won the doubles
championship!
Two teams, 10 starting players. Each of them had results to be proud of.
How could people’s eyes not heat up when they saw them!
Besides, they had all arrived together. It was unknown what Yuan Ze and
Kim Sung-hyun were talking about, but the appearance of two people from
the honored Temple of Glory was enough to make the entire room’s blood
boil!
The venue grew quiet when they came in. Wei Xiao’s voice that should’ve
been drowned out in the background noise became unusually clear in the
banquet hall––
“Was the regular season a grand slam? Did you win all the playoffs? Have
you taken home the world cup? If you haven’t done any of it, then how…”
Those who couldn’t understand: “???”
Those who could understand: “………………”
Gary recognized FTW’s team uniform at a glance. He didn’t know what

Wei Xiao looked like, but this voice was too familiar. Even if it was
purposely suppressed, he could still identify it clearly!
That son of a bitch, he still dared to be crazy after leaving home!
World championship?
Dream on!
Old G could hear him, and so could Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun.
Yuan Ze curved his lips, “I’m going to meet this kid.”

Kim Sung-hyun noticed Lu Feng, and spoke to Yuan Ze in Chinese, “Bro.”
Those who’d been called bro by Kim Sung-hyun in Chinese. Later on…
they all didn’t have any ‘later on’!
Yuan Ze pretended not to have heard him.
Kim Sung-hyun approached him deliberately and said, “Don’t forget to

broadcast live…”
Yuan Ze: “……”
Yuan Ze walked away with big strides, heading to the place where the FTW
team had settled.
Compared with the old fox, the little children with teeth and flying claws
were too cute.
Wei Xiao only noticed L&P after the fact.
It was Yuan Ze and Old G’s first time meeting Wei Xiao, but Wei Xiao
understood them very well.
After all, they were all veteran players of the game, and those who watched
their competitions every day had become familiar with them long ago.
Yuan Ze smiled slightly, “Quiet?”
One wouldn’t reach out to slap the face of a smiling person. Wei Xiao gave
a superficial smile and greeted them.
Old G’s crappy Chinese was really no better than the Martian language,
“2021’s championshit cup iz hour L&P’s!”
You might as well speak English!
Wei Xiao was amused, “Okay, okay, the championshit cup is yours.”
Old G couldn’t tell the difference, but Yuan Ze didn’t have a single ounce of
team camaraderie and directly laughed out loud.
Gary: ???”
What exactly was wrong.
God Yuan might have laughed, but he would still get even, “Little friend, if
you want to get the world cup, you won’t be able to do it in FTW. Why
don’t you come to L&P?”
Previously, it had been a private invitation. This time, he handed out this
olive branch in front of countless professional players from 18 teams across
all the competition zones.
Most of the people present couldn’t understand Chinese, but they could still
understand the situation based on what they saw.
Yuan Ze and FTW had countless enmities and grudges between them. Now,
he was coming to provoke FTW’s newcomer?
FTW was too miserable. There was a 90% chance that they would be
beaten into seclusion this year.
Some foreign teams who understood Chinese understood the conversation,

and then they became confused.
Marshal had invited that arrogant kid from FTW to L&P?
Who the hell was that kid?
Quiet…
They’d never heard of this person.
Yuan Ze dared to invite Wei Xiao in front of so many people, and Wei Xiao
dared to reject him in front of over a hundred professional players, “No!”
Yuan Ze wasn’t surprised at all, “Think about it. There’s still 15 days.”
Wei Xiao got straight to the point, “No need to think about it. I’m not going
anywhere. I was born as an FTW person, and I’ll die as an FTW ghost!”
Although a part of him wanted to laugh, he inexplicably felt a little touched.

What was the deal with that!
Tang Chen directly laughed out loud, “Hahaha, Little Wei, you…”
This little brain of Wei Xiao’s was really the limit. He thought about how
FTW’s boss was Lu Feng, and his voice grew even louder, “Indeed, I was
born one of Close’s people, and I’ll die as Close’s ghost!”
Everyone in the banquet hall who could understand Chinese,

“………………”
Bai Cai: F*ck, was there a crack in the floor? Laozi wanted to drill inside!
Ch37.2 - You want to screw with
me? Get in line.
What made everyone from FTW want to drill into a crack in the floor was
how Wei Xiaoxiao, a 985 university entrance score student who’d gotten
103 in English, then translated this sentence into English and repeated it
again!
“I was born a Close man, and will die a Close ghost!”
It was settled. The entire banquet hall was confused!
Those who didn’t understand Chinese and were guessing the situation all
asked for clarification, and those who knew Chinese quickly explained the
context.
It was passed on and on…
The story was beginning to turn bizarre.
At first, it was still normal, “Marshal invited FTW’s newcomer to L&P!”
Then, it was still alright, “That newcomer refused to submit even in death!”
Then, it started to turn weird, “Marshal tried to forcefully snatch people!”
Finally, it became crazy, “FTW’s newcomer is a girl dressed as a man!”
At last, the whole world was in turmoil, “Marshal and Close both fell in
love with this girl dressed as a man at the same time!”
Bai Cai, who was fed a whole mouthful of gossip later on, “……” That was
so f*cking ridiculous!
Even Yuan Ze was stunned when he heard Wei Xiao’s words. However, as a
seasoned old dog, God Yuan continued to try and pry people away, “You’re
only 19 years old, and you’re still young. Don’t be so…”
He hadn’t finished his words when Lu Feng suddenly stood up and

interrupted him, “Change seats.” He said this to Wei Xiao.
Lu Feng was to Wei Xiao’s right, and his spot to the left was empty, which
was why Yuan Ze could speak so freely.
At this time, Lu Feng wanted to change seats with him, moving Wei Xiao
further inside.
Wei Xiao didn’t want to agree. He still wanted to taunt Yuan Ze.
Fine, fine. Nobody could get in the captain’s way.
Little Lunatic Wei got up very obediently and changed seats with Lu Feng.
Lu Feng looked at Yuan Ze, “Was there anything else?” His voice was very
cold.
Lu Feng’s face was expressionless, “Or, do you want to sit here?”
Old Dog Yuan’s heart was empty. He said, “No, we’ll be doing a
performance match soon. We’ll go warm up first.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Finally, L&P left, and the venue began to boil with excitement again.
This time, everyone was only focused on one topic––

Who was FTW’s newcomer!
Who was this Quiet?
How could he already be so embroiled in gossip even before his debut?!
After that, the host came out and began to explain the winter training.
First, the person in charge of the competition committee gave a speech, then
the big daddy sponsor came in and gave a speech. After that, the host talked
about the rules and conventions, which were cumbersome but important,
and all the club managers and logistics personnel listened very carefully.
Wei Xiao was seated close to Lu Feng and could sense that he was in a bad
mood.
There was someone talking at the front, and it wasn’t appropriate for Wei
Xiao to speak, so he picked up pen and paper from the desk and wrote Lu
Feng a note.
Lu Feng looked at the note and was stunned for a moment.
The writing was just like the person. Wei Xiao’s flying dragon and dancing
phoenix style writing was very bold.
The content was also as straightforward and simple as he was––Captain, I

won’t leave FTW!
“I won’t leave FTW…”
This voice suddenly appeared in Lu Feng’s brain. His eyes grew hooded,
and he wrote on the note, “There is no such thing as a never-ending feast in
the world.”
Lu Feng had some regrets after writing this, but the words written in pen
weren’t like words typed on a keyboard and couldn’t be deleted.
Wei Xiao looked at him with wide eyes.

Lu Feng folded up the note and put it in his own pocket, “Mm.”
His answer was soft, and it was almost drowned out by the speech being
given on the stage, but Wei Xiao still heard it. His eyes brightened, and his
lips curved up. “I’ll definitely never leave!”
FTW was Close’s.
He only wanted to follow Close!
15 days of training wasn’t a very long time, so the schedule was very
packed.
The winter training server had already been started up, but there was still
some time before the free matching began.
Every day from 1PM to 6PM, all players had to participate in the free
matching and accumulate personal points.
After 6PM, the top three teams with the most points in total from their five
players would be able to choose a team to be their training match partner at
will. The invited team could not refuse, and the other teams could then
choose opponents by drawing lots.
For the sake of the sponsor gold daddies, these games would be broadcast
live. The winning team could take the other side’s prize pool.
The bonus pool for the day was distributed according to the individual
points from free matching.
One point was 1000 yuan. For example, if the total score of the five
members in the team was 100 points, then the team’s prize pool was
100,000 yuan.
Individual points were recalculated daily, but the bonus pool was
cumulative.
For example, if a team won a 200,000 bonus on the first day, even if their
individual scores were zero the next day, they would still have a bonus pool
of 200,000, making them the likely targets of being selected as an opponent.
So, the winners must work even harder to win, and the losers would need to
work hard at the free matching in order to save up points and win!
The bonus pool would only grow bigger and bigger. It was hard to say what
the amount would be by the 15th day!
Wei Xiao’s brain turned quickly, and he soon straightened out the rules. “If
we keep winning… then won’t we be able to take away everyone’s hard-
earned money?!”
Indeed. 100 players earned points through the free matching. These points
were used to increase the team’s bonus pool. Once a team lost, the entire
bonus would be taken away.
On the other hand, as soon as a team won, not only would they keep the
points earned by their own players, they would also win their opponents’
points!
Chen Feng splashed cold water over his thoughts, “The chance of losing is
greater.”
What was he thinking about? The 18 teams were all the elites from each
competition zone. What did FTW, as a team who did a round tour for each
global competition, have on them that could help them win?!
Wei Xiao had seen through it clearly long ago, “That’s okay, as long as we
win on the 15th day, we’ll still win!”
Yes, this was the core of the competition system.
It didn’t matter how many times you lost at the start. It didn’t even matter if
they lost until their bonus pool was zero. As long as they won the first prize
in the free matching on the 15th day and obtained the right to choose a team
to fight against, they could still win it all back!
After all, they were training matches. The important thing was the fights
between the teams. The main goal was to stimulate the players’ passion and
improve the effect of training, not the competition’s elimination system.
After talking about the rules, they then talked about many old rules, such as
no fighting, no partying, no drinking…
All in all, players should be positive, focus on the competition, and create a
good image of a harmonious society.
By 9PM, when the entire audience was drowsy from listening, the real play
began.
The host announced, “Next up, let’s invite L&P and Pro to open up our
Glory winter training Group A for 2021!”
The meeting was over, and the performance match was about to begin!
The banquet hall suddenly went dark, and then L&P’s battle anthem
sounded out as five people in silver gray uniforms walked out of the
background towards the match platform that had been prepared a long time
ago.
After that came the Pro’s championship song. This was the glory and honor
that only a champion, a team who’d won the championship could have!
As soon as the teams came out, the battle anthems sounded out, and a fight
was imminent!
All the players were instantly in high spirits!
Although it was only a performance match, nobody would want to lose in

such a high-profile situation
Let alone two old rivals!
Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun’s ‘gratitude and resentment’ had been

mentioned enough times online to circle the winter training venue three
times over!
The two teams came up, and the host performed a routine interview.
Kim Sung-hyun accepted the microphone and started off in fluent Chinese,
“I don’t care, but Marshal wants to win more.”
The host quickly translated his words and asked, “Why does Marshal want
to win?”
Kim Sung-hyun didn’t hand the microphone over to Yuan Ze and continued
to speak in Chinese, “It’s like this. Marshal broke a promise from many
years ago and has to eat shit live. I’m not interested in seeing this, so I
proposed that as long as he won the performance match, he wouldn’t have
to broadcast it live.”
FTW, 3U and the melon-eating gossip watchers, “…………”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”
L&P and Pro’s starters, who didn’t quite understand, “???”
Old G, who half-understood, “Sheet? Sit?”
This pronunciation thing was too inhumane!
The host’s face was confused. They really didn’t know how to translate
this!
Yuan Ze stared at Kim Sung-hyun, “Old Kim, you’re done for.”
Top-laners had a natural advantage against marksmen. Yuan Ze would

hammer Kim Sung-hyun until he exploded in this match.
Kim Sung-hyun laughed like a cold mountain flower, and the words he said
weren’t pleasant to the ears, “You want to screw with me? Get in line.”
Ch38 - Hello everyone, I am
FTW.Quiet
Host: “……”
Translate? To hell with translating, hey! This segment could be completely

cut out!
The host showed excellent professional qualities as she began interviewing

Yuan Ze.
Yuan Ze smiled slightly, his manner polite.
Never mind what he was like in private. On the surface, God Yuan was
elegant, and extremely gentlemanly, but there was a reason fans from all
over the world called him a scum man.
What was a scum man?
Handsome, good at holding conversations, looked very polite, but was in

fact a beast dressed in human clothing.
For better or worse, God Yuan’s compatibility with this term was as high as
99%.
The host grew brave under his slight smile and even dared to suggest,
“Marshal seems to have a good relationship with God Kim.”
Yuan Ze’s smile became even more charming, “Yes, we often have training
matches together.”
The host felt that this was someone who was easy to talk to and tried to
further interview him, “L&P and Pro had a wonderful match in the global
finals last year. I wonder if the two sides have developed any new tactics
during the off-season?”
Yuan Ze: “We have.”
The host quipped, “It must be inconvenient to disclose them. How about
we…”
Yuan Ze continued directly, “There’s nothing inconvenient about it. I’ll

share it with everyone.”
Host: “……”
She had a hunch that things weren’t good.
Yuan Ze maintained his perfect gentleman tone while speaking derisive

words, “When facing Proud Flower Kim, just screwing him over will do the
job.”
Host: “…………”
This old lady just knew that she shouldn’t have learned Chinese!
Were these words that she could f*cking translate?!
As soon as the words ‘Proud Flower Kim’ came out, Kim Sung-hyun
instantly gave off a murderous aura!
There were many players off-stage who wanted to laugh, but didn’t dare to.
This demeaning title ‘Proud Flower Kim’ was the eternal pain that lingered
at the bottom of God Kim’s heart.
As an ADC who played hugely squishy heroes, Kim Sung-hyun required

the full protection of his team in order to play out tons of DPS and reverse
the game situation.
However, in FTW that year, all his teammates were bug-like existences who
didn’t need to wait for their marksman to develop in the late game before
already winning the game.
Kim Sung-hyun was unable to play out his full strength and was extremely
angry.
Yuan Ze felt sorry for him and promised to help him think of a solution.
So, during the trash talk session before the game, God Yuan spoke these
words very reasonably, “Everyone, please don’t take pity on our team’s
proud flower and ravage him to your heart’s content.”
“Who is this proud flower? Our ADC, hey.”
“Yes, the one who looks the most like a flower.”
“Close isn’t the proud flower. Don’t mess with him, you might end up
having the tables turned on you.”
How that game had gone was already long forgotten, but this trash talk was
something that everyone remembered.
Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun could provoke each other to such an extent for
a performance match; this was enough to show how strong the fiery scent of
gunpowder was between them.
The scent of gunpowder was no big deal. Matches were more fun this way.
Everyone’s mood was high, and it was as though this wasn’t just a
performance game, but rather the scene of the global finals!
BP went quickly. The two teams were too familiar with each other and
weren’t polite as they put their opponents’ ace talents in the ban position,
preventing them from dominating the entire court.
In fact, Kim Sung-hyun and Yuan Ze hadn’t been targeted much.
The ace players in a strong team weren’t afraid of being targeted. There
were six positions in total, and even if the ban positions were all filled up
with the talents they were strong at, the ones that were left would still be
enough for them to play well with.
What’s more, their teammates weren’t easy targets, either.
Take Gary as an example. Calling him Crazy Old G wasn’t an exaggeration.

If all the ban positions were used on Yuan Ze, then his thief could still
slaughter their opponents until they went into seclusion.
This was the difference between Close versus Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun.
The latter two had teammates, while the former worked alone even in team
games.
Perhaps it was because they’d spoken too much trash talk before the start of
the game. Two minutes after the match began, a fight broke out in the mid-
lane!
Gary had taken the berserker thief, and his rhythm in the early stage was so
fast that he forced Pro to withdraw behind the tower and lose two soldiers.
Pro’s mid-lane was pressured, but their jungler wasn’t anxious, taking
advantage of the berserker thief’s arrogance to sneak into L&P’s jungle area
and steal two jungle monsters.
This area was close to the top-lane, and Yuan Ze’s sense of smell was
extremely keen. He flew over to explore the grassy area and managed to hit
Pro’s jungler.
“Awesome!” Wei Xiao exclaimed quietly.
Although he disliked Yuan Ze, he had to respect Yuan Ze’s strength,

especially after they’d fought in the training match before. Wei Xiao could
still remember that strong, oppressive force.
First Blood!
Yuan Ze killed Pro’s jungler on his own and took down first blood!
Chen Feng sneered from his seat behind them, “He even dared to go for
Marshal’s area. Pro’s jungler is still too tender.”
Tang Chen laughed, “No rush, Pro has always been better in the later
stages.”
Indeed. A team with a marksman as the core was bound to be weaker in the
early stage. Pro’s jungler was a famous toolman who didn’t rob resources,
didn’t mess up the team’s rhythm, and was extremely stable. Although the
top-laner couldn’t pressure Yuan Ze, it still wasn’t to the stage where Yuan
Ze could do a tower dive, and he could still pull him back slightly.
The middle lane suffered a bit of a loss, but their bottom lane was in a good
situation.
Kim Sung-hyun’s ADC was by no means the type of marksman who relied
solely on the late stage.
His experience in FTW had made him particularly focused in the early
stages.
Were they kidding?
If he wasn’t able to start killing in the early stages, his beastly teammates
simply wouldn’t let him have a later stage, okay?!
So, Kim Sung-hyun, along with his own support, hammered the L&P
marksman into a little shrimp.
The commentator praised Kim Sung-hyun exaggeratedly, making listening

to Chen Feng the better option, “If Old G doesn’t go help, L&P will lose a
tower.”
It was as he said. One minute later, the first tower in L&P’s bottom lane
exploded, and there was suddenly a gap in the canyon.
Wei Xiao stared at the big screen and said, “Yuan Ze is switching lanes!”
Chen Feng: “Changing lanes at this time is irrational.”

Their tower had already been lost, so Yuan Ze going over now would be
useless. It was better to continue developing in the top lane.
Wei Xiao shook his head, “But he can restrain Kim Sung-hyun and Li
Heran.”
Lu Feng glanced at Wei Xiao out of the corner of his eye.
The situation in the canyon changed abruptly.
Yuan Ze went to the bottom lane from the top lane and didn’t retreat even
after he encountered Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran together. In the situation
where he didn’t have the protection of a tower, he attacked both of them
himself!
The whole scene exploded, “Holy shit! Is Marshal this crazy?!”
In the eyes of countless professional players, this action was tantamount to

death.
Were they kidding? Kim Sung-hyun, who was protected behind the paladin,
could kill him with three arrows.
Wei Xiao didn’t blink, “Kim Sung-hyun is retreating.”
His voice had just fallen when Yuan Ze had already finished using a set of
skills and sent Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran back to their tower.
If Kim Sung-hyun came out at this time, Yuan Ze, who had just used up his
skills, could easily be taken down, but Kim Sung-hyun didn’t come out…
Yuan Ze’s actions had been too calculating.
His one against two attack was too brazen, and he acted as though he had
thousands of troops behind him, forcing Kim Sung-hyun to retreat.
Kim Sung-hyun indeed had some reservations. He couldn’t find Old G on
the map, and Yuan Ze was acting so aggressive. According to L&P’s style,
there would be a Gary hidden somewhere behind him. As long as Kim
Sung-hyun moved forward slightly, he would be a dead Kim.
However… there was nobody behind Yuan Ze. Gary took the mid-laner
with him and went to the top lane at the same time, going three against one
to kill Pro’s top-laner and protecting the top lane tower at the same time!
This operation ushered in a wave of cheers across the whole scene,

“Beautiful!”
The audience had an omniscient view and could see more, but even if they
could see it, they wouldn’t have had the confidence to do it.
Yuan Ze’s determination and bravery, and the perfect cooperation in L&P
created a situation in which it wouldn’t be Pro’s top-laner who toppled but
Yuan Ze instead if there had been even the slightest mistake!
A small difference was like a distance of a thousand miles.
In a close fight between equals, even a millisecond mattered!
It was a performance match, but both teams played unreservedly.
Kim Sung-hyun had been tricked once by Yuan Ze, but he quickly followed
up with a counterattack and took down L&P’s mid-laner while taking down
a mid-lane tower and returning back to the city!
For a full forty minutes, Wei Xiao watched so intently he forgot to blink.
The youth who normally had a smile hanging from the corner of his lips
was fully absorbed in the duel on the screen.
This was a war without gunpowder or smoke, a duel fought without

bloodshed, but this insubstantial canyon was loaded with everyone’s
powerful fighting spirit.
Each blade and each shot.

Each stab and arrow.
The brilliance and splendor made one’s blood boil with excitement!
A real team competition involved trusting one’s back to others, an exchange

of trust. It was arriving at a powerful tacit understanding within the team
that didn’t require speaking!
Teammates, team.
Sacrifice, revenge.
This was the unique charm of this ten person battlefield!
The fight was still in full swing forty minutes later.
Both sides had equal strength, and the two sides kept ending up in a
deadlock.
However, the final battle broke out in the dragon pit.
This back and forth battle that lasted around five minutes made the scalps of
everyone present go numb.
Everyone had already developed to the extreme, and every hero had
reached their pinnacle state.
Regardless of whether it was L&P or Pro, they had all put into play
everything they could think of, and they had done it all!
Without reservation, a desperate fight to the end, all for the sake of one
word––
Victory!
Both sides’ supports fell.
The mid-laners fell.

The junglers fell.
Pro’s top-laner was killed off by Yuan Ze, and L&P’s bottom laner was shot
down by Kim Sung-hyun.
In the empty canyon, only Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun were left.
In this kind of situation… reasonably speaking, Kim Sung-hyun was as

good as dead.
However, Yuan Ze only had one tenth of his health bar left, while Kim
Sung-hyun still had a piece of resurrection armor.
Without even a millisecond of delay, Yuan Ze pushed to the limit and

pierced Kim Sung-hyun, but Kim Sung-hyun shot Yuan Ze with an arrow
and then stood up again after resurrecting.
In the grand canyon, only Kim Sung-hyun was left, but…
Victory!
L&P won!
L&P, who were all dead, had actually won the game.
Yuan Ze took off his headphones and said modestly, “An unequal contest
brings no honor to the victor.”
At the very end, it had been L&P’s super soldiers who had pushed all the
way to Pro’s resurrection crystal!
Glory was a MOBA game. Killing was secondary; the prerequisite for
victory was to take down the enemy’s crystal.
Yuan Ze’s ruthlessness lay in the fact that he’d created the conditions for his
own line of soldiers to advance even before starting the last wave of team
fights.
So, even if they lost the group fight, even if Kim Sung-hyun remained
standing at the end, it would be L&P who won the game!
At this moment.
Everyone at the scene had these words in their hearts––
Old dog, your heart is really dirty!
Losing was losing. Pro didn’t get angry.
It was true that their skills had been inferior. Their top-laner hadn’t thought
of controlling the soldiers ahead of time.
This wasn’t L&P’s luck. They had won through the details of the game.
Both sides shook hands, and Kim Sung-hyun stared at Yuan Ze.
Yuan Ze smiled.
Kim Sung-hyun: “You can waive the live broadcast, but don’t forget the
shit. I’ll be waiting.”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”
These words were caught by the microphone, and everyone who understood
them burst out into laughter.
Oh, indeed. God Kim had only said to forget about the live broadcast, but
he never said there would be no eating shit.
Little Ning laughed until his stomach hurt, “Our God Kim is a good and
proper cold and aloof flower, but why does every other sentence…”
This was also one of Kim Sung-hyun’s characteristics. He was very polite
when he spoke in Korean, but he couldn’t do without ‘shit’ and ‘pee’ once
he started speaking in Chinese.
Chen Feng spoke darkly, “Do you know who taught Kim Sung-hyun
Chinese?”
Chen Feng: “Indeed, it was Yuan Ze. This harm is all self-inflicted!”
This 5v5 performance match could be described as brilliant.
Everyone was all impassioned from watching, and they expressed that one
match was not enough. They wanted to have another one!
The competition committee had already made preparations. After the host
came up onto the stage, she stated, “Next up is the doubles performance
match.”
Everyone booed. It was obvious that this wasn’t exciting enough.
The host gave a mysterious smile and added, “The doubles match
participants will be picked by the winner from the 5v5 game.”
One sentence was enough to mobilize everyone’s mood. What did this
mean?
There was no need to explain too much. Yuan Ze returned to the stage, and
the host asked him, “God Yuan who would you like to choose as a
teammate for the doubles match?”
Indeed. In the upcoming doubles match, the L&P who’d won the 5v5 game
would be the challenger, and the candidate they’d pushed out was the MVP
Yuan Ze.
He could choose one of his teammates to form a team or choose a teammate

from another team.
At this time, the entire scene was boiling once again.
The competition committee really knew how to set things up!

Making a performance match this tricky was the way to make things
exciting!
Yuan Ze held the microphone and scanned the whole room before slowly
pronouncing one name––
“Quiet.”
The entire scene was in an uproar!
Who was this?
Who was Quiet?
Everyone had thoughts about who Yuan Ze would choose. For example,
Close. For example, Kim Sung-hyun, or maybe even his own Old G, but…
who was Quiet?
Don’t mention how everyone was confused. The people from FTW were
also stupefied.
Lu Feng looked at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao was not panicked or anxious. He stood up, then reached the stage
with a few steps.
The youth was tall, with long legs. Wearing the black FTW team uniform,
his pale face looked quiet and elegant beneath the dazzling lights. However,
his eyes were completely divorced from the word ‘quiet’, and they were full
of wanton flamboyance.
“Hello everyone, I am FTW.Quiet.”
A newcomer who showed no stage fright and even seemed eager for the
chance to fight.
Even those who didn’t know who he was couldn’t help but take a fresh look
at him at this moment.
Those with sharp eyes could already see––
“Isn’t this the kid Marshal invited when he came in.”
“Ah, it’s FTW’s top-laner!”
“Marshal is serious? Does he want to be teammates with him that much?”
Wei Xiao finished his self-introduction and looked at Yuan Ze. He spoke in
English, “God Yuan, aren’t you afraid that I’ll screw you over?”
Those who knew what had taken place between the two previously were
instantly very excited!
This kid, there was something to him!
Yuan Ze smiled like a fox, “Will you screw me over?”
“No.” Wei Xiao’s voice wasn’t light, but it wasn’t heavy either. “I never
screw my teammates over, even when my teammates aren’t human.”
giant shout out to my awesome editors <3

Ch39 - Wei Xiao: I choose Close.
Shit, he really dared to say it!
The entire audience followed suit and grew excited.
The audience in the banquet hall was full of professional players, some of
whom were famous. They understood Marshal better than the fans did, and
they also understood more about the value of the Temple of Glory.
For Marshal to be listed in the Temple of Glory, there was no doubting his
strength.
When facing the strong, many people would become nervous and afraid.
This was human nature. It was understandable, but it wasn’t appreciated.
It was different with Wei Xiao. He wasn’t afraid or nervous, and could even
dig a trap for Old Thief Yuan and launch a perfect verbal attack.
Powerful! No matter what his technical abilities were like, his mentality
was very strong!
Yuan Ze was a pure sadist through and through. The stronger his opponent
was, the more interested he was. If Wei Xiao quailed, then he would forget
who this person was at any minute.
However, not only did Wei Xiao not back down, he could always surprise
him with a ‘counterattack’.
Yuan Ze liked this child and had a very sincere appreciation for him.
The host was really sad. Was the e-sports circle all so flashy? One person
after another had no filter over their mouths and really dared to say
whatever they wanted to!
Fortunately, she didn’t have to translate this time. Everyone had understood.
The host tried to forcibly soften up the atmosphere, “In that case, please
pick your opponents. Will Marshal choose?”
The opponents could be picked from any doubles team that had registered
in professional competitions.
Yuan Ze reverted back to being a gentleman again, “Let the kid choose.”
Wei Xiao wasn’t polite and accepted the button that the host handed over.
This doubles performance match was already full of drama. First, Yuan Ze
had selected his teammate, and then it was Wei Xiao who picked an
opponent.
After layer upon layer of unexpected occurrences, everyone’s expectations

had already been roused to the highest peak!
The opening game was an explosive 5v5, followed by a dramatic doubles

match. These opening games were really great!
Before long, the names that scrolled across the screen stopped, and the
selected opponent appeared.
It wasn’t Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran, nor was it Asleep and Cong Yi
from China.
However, the two names that floated on the screen weren’t unfamiliar––
SK.Ali, SK.Ayu.
This Carp combo was the new rising star of the doubles competition.
SK was a new South Korean team. They focused on the doubles

competition and were eager to achieve results.
Although this group hadn’t officially participated in the global
competitions, they had the immortal partners Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran
in their domestic competition zone, and they’d honed their skills
significantly under them.
Pro was more focused on obtaining the top spot in the team competition this
year, so they had relaxed their attention on the doubles.
Since SK, as a brother team in the same competition zone, wanted to fight
for recognition in the doubles competition, Pro was willing to help.
So, even though Ali and Ayu weren’t sufficiently experienced in big
competitions, there was no doubt that they were very strong.
Their strength was probably higher than that of last year’s doubles runner
up.
Yuan Ze laughed, “You’re really quite lucky.”
To be able to draw out a pair who were almost equal to drawing Kim Sung-
hyun and Li Heran.
Wei Xiao glanced at him, “Scared?”
Wei Xiao didn’t give him a chance to open his mouth and speak, “Get
offstage if you’re scared. I’ll change partners.”
Yuan Ze looked at Lu Feng seated off-stage from the corner of his eye and
said in a low voice, “Your captain isn’t good at doubles.”
Wei Xiao tsked, “There’s nothing my captain isn’t good at!”
Yuan Ze didn’t say anything else. He shook his head and said, “Come on,
the game is going to start.”
The four people took their seats and entered the ban & pick stage.
There were also six ban positions in a doubles competition. This wasn’t just
for the sake of targeting the opponent, but also so that some talents that
were overpowered in the current version of the game could be banned,
saving everyone from suffering if they weren’t able to snatch it up.
The commentator finally became aware of a problem.
“If I remember correctly, Quiet is also a top-lane, right?”
“Yes, the China competition zone FTW’s new top-laner.”
“As we all know, Marshal only plays top-lane heroes.”
Regardless of whether it was team competitions, doubles, or even the

singles competition he had participated in three years ago, he used top-lane
heroes.
Yuan Ze had a famous quote, “The top lane is a faith. Using other talents is
insincere, like cheating.”
Later, Gary exposed the truth after drinking, “Oh, our captain can’t play
other positions. To be honest, I saw him take the shadow thief once. Tsk tsk
tsk, it wasn’t like cheating, it was more like domestic violence, yes, being
on the receiving end!”
In any case, no matter what the truth was, Marshal only used top lane
heroes––Old Dog Yuan wanted his dignity, and he wouldn’t shame himself
in front of over 100 of his colleagues.
So, that led to the problem…
Commentator A: “It’s not that you can’t play a doubles game with two top-
laners, but the win rate isn’t high that way.”
A doubles match depended on cooperation. Using heroes with different

positions could play out a better effect.
Commentator B: “After all, it’s a performance match. Winning or losing

isn’t important as long as it’s fun to watch.”
As soon as these words came out, the people from the China competition
zone who understood the truth all expressed, “Ha-ha.”
Winning or losing didn’t matter?
Did you take a look at who was sitting up on the stage!
That was the little beast who picked fights with half the Glory circle and
would love dearly to stick the word ‘Victory’ on his forehead!
How could he concede defeat!
Commentator A: “Well… Quiet took the shadow thief.”
Commentator B: “He isn’t taking it for God Yuan to play, right?”
Commentator A: “God Yuan’s shadow thief…”
Old G’s drunken words were still fresh in everyone’s memories.
Commentator B: “He locked it! FTW’s new top-laner will be using it!”
Not only were the commentators surprised, most of the players in the
banquet hall were also surprised.
The shadow thief was a hero that was practically linked up with Close.
Who at the scene had never thought of competing in the individual

competition?
However, what was the use of thinking about it?
Just look at the great demon king that stood at the peak, and they could
f*cking only think about it!
Countless top players liked the shadow thief. For no other reason, but
because the upper limit for this hero was too high, and how it was operated
depended on each player’s own level.
How the shadow thief played out was directly related to a player’s real
strength.
It was so simple and so rough. Who wouldn’t want to use it to prove

themselves!
Unfortunately, the great demon king in front of them was too fierce. The
shadow thief could only become the white moonlight in everyone’s heart––
sacred and inviolable.
One of the contestants off-stage spoke brainlessly, “Trying to drive a duck

onto a perch?”
“Marshal probably plans to use the divine warrior. As we all know, the
divine warrior and shadow thief is an immortal pairing.”
“Quiet is a little miserable; is he going up on stage to act as a foil?”
“There’s no helping it. Who told him to meet Marshal.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, you can mess with anyone, but don’t mess with that old dog.”
“Feeling heartache for Quiet.”
The 3U team who had heard all this: There’s really no need to feel
heartache.
Ever since Wei Xiao went up on stage, Lu Feng hadn’t spoken a single
word.
Chen Feng looked at him several times. He wanted to say something, but he
didn’t know where to start.
Tang Chen was less careful and opened his mouth to start with, “Speaking
of which, Old Yuan’s divine warrior was trained up for Old Lu.”
Chen Feng: “…………”
Would you die if you f*cking spoke less?

The White Cabbage who loved gossip and didn’t know the truth perked up
his ears.
There was content! And it was a huge piece of ancient gossip!
The Gossip Emperor’s heart was perked up and ready to make trouble.
However, Chen Feng avoided the topic and didn’t dare to discuss it while
the person involved was very calm. Lu Feng could be heard saying, “That’s
not it.”
He was actually willing to talk. Top-lane was immediately interested and

asked, “Is it true? Yuan Ze was the one who said so; he said that the team
wanted the two of you to play doubles, and at the time, the combo of divine
warrior and shadow thief together was incredibly strong. You were
particularly good at the shadow thief in the team, and Yuan Ze…” Had been
the team’s top-laner, and practicing the divine warrior was very necessary
for his position.
Although Yuan Ze’s divine warrior wasn’t weak, at the time, he’d been
better with the heroes like the death knight and shadow gunner, and the
stable divine warrior wasn’t something he was good at.
Lu Feng paused, then said, “Him and I are unable to play doubles together.”
Tang Chen wanted to ask more, but Chen Feng gave this great fool a push
and said, “Doubles really depends on a player’s character. Of course you
two weren’t suited to play together.” These words were aimed at smoothing
things out.
In fact, within the Team of Gods back then, there was nobody who could
play doubles.
Doubles wasn’t like the individual competition where they could just
directly let loose and be done with it.
A doubles match wasn’t like the team competition where there were many
places they could coordinate together.
Doubles was unique, more unique than the individual competition.
It required the two players in the field to have an incomparable

compatibility, tacit understanding, and cooperation, and it also required
mutual tolerance and trust.
In 2020, the champions of the double competition were Kim Sung-hyun and
Li Heran, who’d been sleeping together in the same room since junior high.
Asleep and Cong Yi, the seed players for the doubles competition in China,
grew up together since childhood, and nobody except Cong Yi could
understand Asleep’s words.
Looking at this Carp combo who were up against Yuan Ze and Wei Xiao,
the two 17 year old youths had been eating and sleeping together for more
than a year in order to develop enough tacit understanding and make their
mark in the doubles competition.
A doubles match was by no means something that two players could

successfully play together at will.
That was what everyone thought, until…
“Holy shit, he’s motherf*cking strong!”
“Have these two trained together in private before?”
“This kid’s shadow thief is too powerful!”
The game began. Yuan Ze took the divine warrior, and Wei Xiao took the
shadow thief. The two of them entered the arena, and their momentum was
as vibrant as a rainbow!
While everyone still believed that Wei Xiao’s shadow thief was a foil, he
recklessly started up the first kill!
The terrain for the doubles match was similar to that of singles, but it had
two more corners to the map than the singles one. There were two ancient
creatures in the corners that added additional strategies and variables for the
doubles match.
According to principle, in a doubles competition with a top-laner and a

jungler, the top-laner should clear the line of soldiers while the jungler went
to control the dragon. After developing for a while they would then start to
make trouble.
These two weren’t like that. They were simply poisonous.
At the start of the game, the divine warrior stacked up his buffs and charged
towards the tower to receive a set of skills from Ali. Ali was very cautious
and made a tactical retreat, wanting to avoid being attacked, but who
could’ve known that the divine warrior wouldn’t retreat? Instead, it
advanced and directly absorbed the damage from the opposing side’s
defensive tower. Just as he was sending himself to die beneath the tower, a
red light flashed by. The shadow thief’s stealthy and sudden attack with a
set of skills took away Ali’s life!
First blood appeared just like that. The divine warrior and shadow thief
retreated from the defensive tower at the same time. They had been fierce
when they attacked and silent when they retreated. The only one who
toppled was SK’s Ali!
This round of cooperation left the audience stunned.
It took the commentator a while before they could say, “Very, very tacit.”
Commentator B: “The divine warrior did its absolute limit in resisting the
tower, but if the shadow thief was even one second slower, he would’ve
died beneath the tower.”
Commentator A: “The last hit from the tower fell on the shadow thief’s
body. His calculations were precise!”
After that, it became even more exciting.
Everyone had thought wrongly. How was this shadow thief a foil?
This was clearly his home court!
The real foil was Yuan Ze’s divine warrior. He was a strong and aggressive
player, but once he changed his style, he was able to create flourishes with
the divine warrior that was the epitome of stability.
Why was the divine warrior and shadow thief such an immortal pairing in a
doubles competition?
It was because there was a natural fit between these two talents.
The shadow thief could strike suddenly, like a sharp blade pulled out of its
sheath.
The divine warrior had a high fault tolerance rate and could clear away all
obstacles for that sharp blade.
One to launch sudden attacks, one to guard the rear, it was a natural mutual
dependency!
Soon, there was someone who couldn’t help saying, “This shadow thief…
was it personally trained up by Close?”
“Doesn’t seem like it, I always feel that there’s something different about
it.”
They couldn’t see it, but those who were familiar with Close could
understand the difference at a glance.
On the Pro side.
Kim Sung-hyun spoke to the man beside him, “No wonder Yuan Ze is
trying so desperately to pry him out.”
Seated to his left was a cold and indifferent-eyed man. At first glance, it
seemed that his facial features were flat, but after looking for a long time,
he seemed to have a certain charm. His low-key, calm temperament made it
easy to forget him, but he should definitely not be ignored.
This was Pro’s captain, the support position, Li Heran.
Li Heran replied, “He’s a very compatible player.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “It’s rare to see such a strong one.”
The universal criteria for evaluating a player was based on the strength of
the individual, while the other criteria was their compatibility levels, which
was what every strong team yearned for.
Most support players were highly compatible and could work with their
teammates, coordinate with the team, and in most cases, integrate the entire
team together.
However, support positions tended to be generally quite weak when it came

to their personal strength.
It wasn’t that they weren’t good, it was just that they had different priorities.
Strength and compatibility were two criteria that tended to diverge.
Strong players were generally not very compatible with others, while those
who could be perfectly compatible with others were generally not very
strong.
Looking at the entire global Glory circle, there was only one person who
met these two criteria and had reached the peak.
FTW’s former captain.
The man who’d ascended to the Temple of Glory as a support position and
created countless myths.
And now, another one had shown up…
FTW’s Quiet.
A little lunatic who’d just entered the professional circle, yet played like a
little maniac in the canyon––
It appeared disorderly and reckless, but in fact, every step was calculated,
and his moves were defensive everywhere.
It was that extreme, yet just as harmonious.
It left people amazed.
This was also the difference between Quiet and Close.
One gave the home team momentum, while the other was absolute control.
It wasn’t the same.
There was no suspense about the outcome of the game.
Yuan Ze and Wei Xiao won.
It wasn’t that Ali and Ayu weren’t strong, but they were unable to play out
their real strength from beginning to end.
The cooperation between Yuan Ze and Wei Xiao was much better than
they’d expected. The operations of the shadow thief broke through their
cognition again and again.
In the early stages, their mentality grew unstable, and it was practically
shattered in the later stages.
Kim Sung-hyun could see it clearly, “These two kids are still
inexperienced.”
It wasn’t that they couldn’t beat them, but that they’d been beaten into a
daze.
In the final analysis, Yuan Ze and Wei Xiao were a temporary team. They
weren’t familiar with each other beforehand, and no matter how talented
they were, they shouldn’t have been able to win so easily.
The main reason for their victory was that the Carp combo’s mentality had
collapsed and they couldn’t hold up. If it had been Kim Sung-hyun… oh, if
it had been Asleep and Cong Yi, it wouldn’t have been to the point where
they’d lose to this temporary group.
No matter what the reasons were, winning was a fact.
What made people even more convinced was that this Quiet really had
some skills!
In this match, the shadow thief had shown off to the heavens and won
everyone over.
Among other things, he was entitled to receive Marshal’s invitation and

even more qualified to refuse him.
They’d all originally thought that FTW would have a bad year this year, but
unexpectedly, they’d obtained fresh blood, and it was fresh blood that
wouldn’t be overshadowed by Close’s glory!
Was this the end of the performance matches?
Obviously not.
The host came up to the stage again, congratulating the victors while
comforting the defeated team. Then, she said, “Next is the last part of the
program.”
Sure enough…
They’d already had 5v5 and doubles. They couldn’t leave out the individual
match!
But, this time, the competition committee had decided to shock them all the
way to the end, and they all heard the host continue, “The winner of the
doubles competition can choose the next match.”
This opportunity fell into Wei Xiao’s hands, because Yuan Ze had already
chosen once.
Wei Xiao could choose to find a teammate and continue to play doubles, or
choose an opponent and have a brilliant solo match.
After hearing this rule, everyone who knew Little Lunatic Wei all fell silent:
There was no getting away from it…
The little lunatic wanted to solo with Lu Feng even in his dreams.
How could he let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Who could’ve known that Wei Xiao would pick up the microphone and say,
“I pick Close. I want to invite him to be my teammate.”
He gave up the chance of a solo match and chose to play another doubles
match, this time with Close!
Ch40 - Doubles Competition
Everyone at the scene was boiling with excitement, “Yes, yes!”
“Quiet’s really fierce!”
“This is clearly him expressing that he doesn’t accept Marshal!”
Everyone had heard the conversation between Wei Xiao and Yuan Ze
earlier.
Yuan Ze had said that his captain couldn’t play doubles, and Wei Xiao had
said that there wasn’t anything his captain wasn’t good at.
At this moment, he was seizing the opportunity to prove it right away!
With such an indisputably confrontational tone, this young man clearly had
backbone and spirit!
Regarding Close, people both loved and hated him.
They didn’t like to meet him in the singles, but they loved watching him
play.
For him to come up on stage, regardless of whether it was for a solo match
or doubles, was enough to make everyone happy.
If they just so happened to draw Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran in the

doubles match…
Ah, taking his new teammate to crush his old one would be the best!
Yuan Ze spoke quietly to Wei Xiao before stepping off the stage, “You will
regret it.”
Wei Xiao was just about to open his mouth to reply, but Yuan Ze had
already left.
He spoke the words to himself internally: I’ll definitely never regret it!
Off-stage.
Chen Feng pushed Lu Feng lightly, “Little Lunatic Wei is waiting for you.”
Lu Feng came back to his senses and frowned.
Chen Feng knew what he was worried about and said, “It’s fine, it’s just a
performance match.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
He got up, walked through the aisles and came to the brightly lit stage.
From his first match at the age of 17 until now, he had stood at that place in
the limelight countless times.
There had been team competitions in the global finals and individual
competitions in the global finals; he had experienced many peak events that
made professional players so nervous their arms and legs went numb. He’d
been nervous before, excited as well, but not uneasy.
This time, it was clearly just a doubles performance match, but Lu Feng
experienced the feeling of uneasiness.
Chen Feng’s left hand was against his lips as he bit his nails.
Tang Chen knew about this bad habit of his where he would bite his nails
whenever he was nervous, “It’s just a performance match.”
Chen Feng was really defeated by his obliviousness, “Close cares too much
about Wei Xiao.”
Tang Chen: “It’s a kid that he brought back with much difficulty. Of course
he has to care.”
Chen Feng smacked the back of his head, “Can’t you grow some f*cking
brains!”
Bai Cai’s ears were perked up super high. He asked curiously, “Speaking of
which, it seems that the captain has never played in a doubles match
before.”
Chen Feng closed his eyes, “It’s already like that for 5v5. How can he play
in a doubles game?”
Bai Cai was stunned.
Ning Zhehan was a newcomer and understood even less, “What do you
mean?”
Yue Wenle sighed and explained to Little Ning, “Think about the training
match you played in when you first joined the team.”
Little Ning thought back for a moment and went back into seclusion for an
instant, “I’m such trash.”
Indeed. In those training matches, his eyes had been filled with the word
TRASH in capital letters, packed densely like scrolling comments.
Chen Feng sighed, “A doubles match relies more on cooperation than in a

5v5 game.”
Tang Chen wasn’t worried, “It’s fine, there won’t be a problem with Little
Lunatic Wei.”
Chen Feng wasn’t as optimistic as he was.
Solo and doubles were two different things.
Doubles and 5v5 were definitely different, but there was a lot of
relationship between the two.
For example, if they could cooperate well in a doubles match, then it would
absolutely not be a problem in 5v5.
Another example was that if they couldn’t coordinate with each other in the
doubles match, then it would become a hidden danger in 5v5.
Chen Feng never wanted Close to play doubles with anyone in the team, but
he hadn’t had time to tell Wei Xiao this. Of course…
There was a high chance that telling him would’ve been useless.
However, he definitely wouldn’t have wanted to have the two of them play
doubles in this kind of scene, under the attention of so many people!
L&P.
Gary: “Speaking of which, I’ve never seen Close play doubles.”
Yuan Ze looked at the two people on the stage, “He can’t play doubles.”
Old G was curious, “Why? Have you guys played together before?”
Yuan Ze: “Yes.”
He controlled the smile at the corner of his lips.
There was also someone asking the same question on the Pro side.
Kim Sung-hyun sighed, “Please don’t draw the two of us.”
Li Heran: “……”
Kim Sung-hyun: “I don’t want to play a doubles game against Close at all.”
Regardless of whether it was as a teammate or an opponent.
In that year’s FTW, the FTW that was like the sun, this all-around team had
been eager to try the doubles competition, just like they had with the team
competition and the individual competition.
At the time, the coaching team tried desperately to find the right match for
the starting line-up.
As a result…
No matter how they paired them up, it was all rotten. Even the support
position could end up in a fight with the ADC, and they were really unable
to participate in the doubles competition.
Later on, Close joined the team. The 17 year old talented player looked
cold, but after all, he was still a rookie, and he was a genius who could play
in any position.
The coaching team was excited, thinking that this newcomer might be able
to match up with one of these four hedgehogs and win them a doubles
championship.
So, the pairing started again.
One week later, the coaching staff went into seclusion.
To hell with the f*cking doubles, FTW didn’t care about that small bonus!
Yuan Ze spoke to Gary, “When Close and I played doubles, he was only 17
years old. In the first game, I thought to myself, what is this? How could
someone of this level enter FTW? Is the coaching team crazy?”
Gary was surprised, “Is Close really not good at doubles?”
Yuan Ze laughed sarcastically, “He did it on purpose.”
Gary blinked, “Why? What’s the point of that?”
Yuan Ze continued to withhold information, “Watch. You’ll know soon.”
As soon as Lu Feng came up, Wei Xiao’s entire mental state improved. He
gave Lu Feng the right to draw opponents right away.
Lu Feng looked at him, “You do it.”
Quiet, who refused to give way when faced with Yuan Ze, was very humble
now, “You’re luckier than I am.”
As soon as he said this, all the players off-stage were a little puzzled.
Quiet’s luck had been pretty good last time, and he’d gotten Ali and Ayu.
They were strong enough, but their experience was insufficient, which was
why he and Yuan Ze had had a chance to win.
Wei Xiao’s next sentence was, “Maybe if you do it, we can draw the
doubles champion from last year.”
Alright, your definition of lucky isn’t the same as ours.
Lu Feng didn’t say anything else. He accepted the button and pressed it.
Wei Xiao looked eagerly at the big screen…
Kim Sung-hyun grabbed Li Heran’s arm, “Don’t be me, don’t be me, don’t
be me…”
Kim Sung-hyun: “F*ck!”
The two names on the big screen––Pro.Kim Sung-hyun, Pro.Li Heran.
Wei Xiao spoke in surprise, “You’re really lucky!”
He’d really managed to draw the doubles champions from last year!
Off-stage, Chen Feng slapped Tang Chen’s leg.
Tang Chen: “Ow.”
Chen Feng: “Hurry up and find the network cable and pull it out for me!”
Was that necessary? Little Lunatic Wei, who wasn’t even afraid of soloing
with the great demon king, would be afraid of playing a doubles game with
the captain?
Kim Sung-hyun came up onto the stage with the support of his own milk
dad.
Pro’s teammates were also wondering about it, “Is Close so strong in
doubles?”
“Our vice-captain… doesn’t he love to abuse thieves?”
“Wake up, that’s Close’s thief.”
In fact, they’d thought wrong. Kim Sung-hyun wasn’t afraid of the shadow
thief, and he wasn’t afraid of Close’s shadow thief. He just didn’t want to
play this game, and it was purely that he had a psychological shadow…
Sitting in front of the computer, without the microphones, Wei Xiao spoke
to Lu Feng, “Captain, you take the shadow thief.”
Lu Feng didn’t say anything and quietly worked on checking over his
equipment.
Wei Xiao continued, “Yuan Ze actually said that you can’t play doubles!”
Lu Feng’s hands paused slightly on the keyboard.
Wei Xiao continued angrily, “I’ll play the divine warrior. Don’t worry, I’ll
protect you well!”
He had experienced a lot from the previous match, and the doubles
competition was very interesting. He and Yuan Ze could win even if they
were tearing it up over the headsets, so he and the captain must be able
cooperate as well.
It had to be known that he was the one who knew Close the best. He would
definitely be able to cooperate with the divine warrior!
All the way until the start of the fight, Wei Xiao was still very confident.
Although he had almost never played doubles with Lu Feng, he was very
familiar with Lu Feng’s shadow thief, and he was very confident with the
divine warrior. Additionally, he had the experience from the 5v5 training
matches, and he felt that he could play out perfect cooperation with Lu
Feng.
So what if the opposite side held Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran?
So what if they slept in the same room?
Had they ever cuddled together and slept together for 24 hours?!
Ha, scum!
These brain circuits that Wei Xiaoxiao had were really amazing.
When they picked heroes, Lu Feng finally spoke up, “You play the shadow
thief. I’ll take the divine warrior.”
Wei Xiao replied immediately, “That won’t do. You’re the jungler, and I’m
the top-laner. We’ll have to cooperate countless times in the future!”
Lu Feng: “…….”
Although Wei Xiao was caught up in the moment, he could still sense that
Lu Feng was in rather low spirits, “Captain?”
Lu Feng locked in the shadow thief, “You take the divine warrior, then.”
Lu Feng glanced at the youth beside him out of the corner of his eyes, and
his fingers trembled almost imperceptibly on the keyboard.
He wanted Wei Xiao to take the shadow thief, but this wasn’t the right time.
He hadn’t yet informed the team about the change in positions, and if he
suggested it too hastily, it might cause confusion in the FTW team.
It was just a performance match, it was fine.
With this in mind, Lu Feng couldn’t help recalling the past.
“No more, no more, don’t ask me to play doubles with Close.”
“Coach, I’m begging you, even having me eat shit is better than playing
doubles with him, okay?!”
“I’ll practice with the divine warrior. Isn’t it enough to train? Just don’t
have me team up with little Close for doubles again.”
“There’s no way to play.”
Lu Feng was very resistant to the doubles competition.
Yuan Ze had spoken correctly. He really couldn’t play doubles.
Because……
Wei Xiao: “Captain, we’re starting.”
“Mm.” Lu Feng focused his mind on the canyon. Maybe things would be
different.
The match began.
There was no surprise with the line ups.
Wei Xiao took the divine warrior, and Lu Feng took the shadow thief. The
line up was exactly the same as the previous match, but the people playing
the heroes had changed.
Kim Sung-hyun took a frost hunter, and Li Heran used the elemental
shaman.
Everyone was very much looking forward to this match.

Wei Xiao was so flamboyant when playing with outsiders, how could he not
show off all the way to the heavens when playing with his own captain?
Perhaps this year’s doubles would belong to someone different!
With this thought, it became even more exciting!
However…
10 minutes into the game, the audience was very disappointed.
No, that wasn’t quite right.
Even the commentators couldn’t find anything to praise.
Commentator A: “This… it seems that they aren’t quite cooperating well?”
Commentator B: “The divine warrior is playing very well, but Close’s

shadow thief seems to be a little…”
He didn’t dare to say that it wasn’t fierce enough, because Lu Feng’s

shadow thief was famous for its fierceness. How fierce was it? It was to the
point where his opponents would want to surrender directly when they saw
him take the shadow thief.
But now…
Old G was dismayed, “What’s going on with Close? He got seen through by
that noob?”
Yuan Ze: “Just watch.”
The FTW side was even more silent.
Chen Feng stared fixedly at the screen, nervously biting his nails.
Tang Chen was a little uneasy due to the atmosphere, “Hey… Old Lu,
today…”
Chen Feng: “Shut up!”
In the arena, Kim Sung-hyun said to Li Heran, “Ah, hurry up and push to
win. I don’t want to see this anymore.”
Li Heran whiz-whiz-whizzed and inserted four totems for him, making it so

that the handsome frost hunter looked like a hornet’s nest that nobody dared
provoke, “Go.”
Kim Sung-hyun sighed, “So, that’s why I said, I don’t like to play doubles
with Close…”
He hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly cursed, “Damn it, I’m done
for!”
Outsiders could see it very clearly. How could Wei Xiao, who was teamed
up with Lu Feng, not sense it?
He endured for a full seven minutes before he couldn’t help it anymore,

“Captain… are you feeling unwell?”
It was too strange. Today’s shadow thief was too strange!
It wasn’t that it wasn’t amazing, and it wasn’t that it wasn’t strong, but… it
wasn’t fierce enough.
The aura that belonged to Close didn’t even show its head the tiniest bit.
Wei Xiao couldn’t help but say, “If you’re not feeling well…”
Lu Feng spoke, and his voice was a little hoarse, “No.”
Wei Xiao: “Then…”

Lu Feng paused, then spoke quietly, “Do you want to know why Yuan Ze
said that I can’t play doubles?”
Wei Xiao paused.
Lu Feng: “Watch.”
In the next moment, the entire scene fell silent.
Li Heran’s headset was full of Kim Sung-hyun’s shrill screams, “F*ck f*ck
f*ck, captain, save me, captain, hurry and save me ahhhhh!”
If the first part of the match made the audience drowsy, then the second half
of the match made them feel as nervous as if they’d also been trapped in the
narrow canyon.
Commentator A: “This…”
Commentator B’s mouth was wide open: “……”
Terrible.
Each scene that appeared on the scene could only be described as terrible.
The shadow thief that was so quiet it was clumsy in the first half instantly
restored its presence of absolute control.
It seemed as though he didn’t have any teammates, as though he was in an

empty canyon.
The crimson blade was locked closely on the enemy’s life and nothing else.
Off-stage, Yuan Ze sneered, “Do you see it? This is the Close in doubles.”
An absolute control over the field, this terrifying oppressive force pressured
not only the opponent, but also his teammate.
Gary was stunned, “Shit, I feel a little heartache for Quiet.”

Those who had never played Glory before would only think that this
shadow thief was too amazing, so amazing that it seemed he was the only
one in the canyon filled with four people.
Only those who knew Glory could feel this terrible pressure even across the
screen.
As an opponent, one wouldn’t want to run into such an enemy.
As a teammate, one wouldn’t want to have such a partner.
Close wasn’t suitable for doubles.
It wasn’t that he didn’t play well, but that he played too well.
Back then, the Team of Gods’ starting lineup, the four men who were now
listed in the Temple of Glory, couldn’t cooperate and keep up with him.
Let alone anyone else.

Ch41 - Wei Xiao: You’re
explosively strong, okay!
Nine light arcs burst out in the canyon, the gorgeous light shocking
everyone present.
Even though everyone knew that the special effects for nine light arcs was
extraordinary, actually seeing it still made them suck in a breath.
There must be a Close fan in Glory’s development team. The championship

skin was so beautiful!
The commentators seized this opportunity to quickly praise and exaggerate,

saving the strange atmosphere that had taken over the doubles match.
In the canyon, Kim Sung-hyun’s squishy frost hunter seemed to have seen
the scythe of death.
The range of the light arcs was too wide, and Kim Sung-hyun had no way
to hide. Fortunately, Li Heran was as steady as a rock, smashing down a set
of totems that was barely enough to heal Kim Sung-hyun.
The contestants all stared fixedly at the scene, and their thoughts were all
focused on…
If they were a shadow thief, would they be able to do this?
If they were the frost hunter, would they be able to retreat in time to
minimize the damage?
If they were the shaman, would they be able to have that kind of hand speed
and brain, throwing down such a complicated set of totem moves around
the frost hunter?
Oh, if they were the divine warrior, they could definitely be as dazed as he
was right now.
It was difficult for the commentators to say anything too substantive, but it
didn’t keep each team from analyzing amongst themselves in low voices.
On the L&P side, Yuan Ze said, “So, this is why I said that Lu Feng isn’t
suited for doubles.”
At this point, everyone understood the meaning behind his words.
The mechanism behind the doubles match had doomed Lu Feng to be

unsuitable for them.
As it was mentioned before, doubles was different from singles and 5v5.
It was too unique. This kind of solitude where two people were twisted
together to form a rope was not the same as one person’s awesomeness.
In a 5v5, certain players’ individual strengths might be higher than the

team’s average level, but this generally wouldn’t be a problem. Instead, that
person would become the core, a trump card and the pillar that the entire
team relied on.
For example, Pro’s Kim Sung-hyun. Because of his strong personal

strength, the team took the route of four protecting one, and everyone
cooperated with him in order to win the game with ease.
It was different with doubles. There were only two people. If one of them
was too outstanding, the other would feel a great psychological pressure.
Doubles matches weren’t as clear as a 5v5 in terms of responsibilities,

about which hero went on what lane and which position they needed to fill.
5v5 had a clear division of labor where if everyone tried their best to do
their job well, half the game was already won.
It wasn’t so clear in a doubles match. The mechanism behind doubles

ensured that it would be fast paced, where both sides came up to exchange
health. The smaller jungle area on both sides was a place where conflict
would break out, and just like in the singles games, those who rolled up
their sleeves and fought would be king.
The difference was that in the singles game, one only had to rush in on their
own, but in doubles, it was two people.
In a situation where there was no cooperation, it would be like fighting one

against two.
Sadly, fighting one against two in a doubles match wouldn’t be enough to

win the game.
So, the one who couldn’t keep up would feel a strong sense of frustration,
as though they were redundant, dragging their feet, and therefore become
the root cause for losing the game.
This type of psychological pressure was just the beginning of the vicious
cycle.
Seeing that they were lagging behind, they would try their best to keep up,
but the more they wanted to catch up, the less they were able to do so.
This wasn’t something they could make up for with instructions over a
headset.
The shadow thief focused on finding an opportunity to release a series of

moves, but this opening often only lasted 0.1 seconds. Communicating by
voice wasn’t fast enough to convey this tacit understanding.
Like this, their mentality would gradually collapse.
Yuan Ze glanced at the divine warrior on the screen and said, “That’s why I
said, don’t play doubles with Close.”
Four years ago, they had their first doubles match.
Yuan Ze had already seen Close’s strength. He wanted to suppress this

talented kid, but instead. he was the one who was suppressed.
At the time, he’d used a death knight, and Close had used a berserker thief.
Relatively speaking, a berserker thief was very good at cooperation. Yet as

a result, Yuan Ze’s death knight followed behind him the whole time. When
he finally caught up, it was either that Close had already cut down his
opponent, or that the other party had already run off. Due to the death
knight’s lack of DPS, the rhythm of the game was broken.
After playing for one game, Yuan Ze cursed, “Close, do you understand
how to f*cking cooperate?!”
The 16 or 17 year old teenager lowered his eyes, “Sorry.”
Yuan Ze hadn’t yet become an old bastard at the time. After scolding him,
he felt that he’d been too much and softened his tone, “Don’t rush in alone,
wait for me.”
Close: “Okay.”
So, in the second match, the berserker thief was obviously slower,
obviously waiting for the death knight. It waited for him to reach the
designated position before rushing forward.
However, while he might wait for the death knight, their opponents
wouldn’t wait.
This was an obvious opportunity to escape. The other side wasn’t stupid;
how could they stand there waiting to be beat up?
So…
Yuan Ze: “F*ck!”
If it was like this, they might as well not cooperate!
It was a sense of suffocation that couldn’t be verbalized, an unspeakable

pain, almost like being trampled onto the ground and ridiculed.
In this life, Yuan Ze hated geniuses the most. After this incident, he hated
geniuses even more.
The birth of this kind of creature was just for the sake of ridiculing normal
human beings!
Yuan Ze refused to fight with him again no matter what. Later on, the other
three people in the team also gave up, and his mentality calmed down again.
It wasn’t their fault.
It was just that Close was too special.
His individual combat ability was like a bug, and it wasn’t suitable for
cooperation with teammates!
The coaching team sighed, “This kind of talent… it’s hard to find one in a
hundred years. Forget it, let’s focus on the singles and 5v5.”
Who would’ve dared think that in 5v5, all the starters in FTW, who were all
so proud and arrogant that they wished they could challenge the heavens, all
tried their best to cooperate with Close?!
To hell with only liking to play in the early stages. With this kind of rhythm,
they had no other choice!
They could barely make it work with 5v5, but it was really too difficult for
doubles.
Asking Close to cooperate a little was something they all felt too ashamed
to ask for; shit, asking a newbie to stop and wait for them? What about their
dignity!?
But to let Close let loose and do whatever he wanted? Then they were the
ones who became redundant in the doubles matches. It was even more
shameful!
So…
To hell with doubles.
It was definitely that Close was unsuited.
If even they were unable to cooperate with him, then there was absolutely
nobody in the entire Glory circle who could.
To this end, Yuan Ze also made a statement, “If there’s anyone who can
cooperate with Close in doubles, I will stream eating shit twice!”
Now look, even Wei Xiao couldn’t do it.
There was another reason that FTW had thoroughly given up on doubles.
It was that they couldn’t win.
No matter how good Close was, no matter how dominant he was, he

couldn’t win the game.
The mechanism for the doubles competition was very fair.
For example, Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran were a pair. The frost hunter
dealt damage, and the shaman fed him heals. In the later stage, when the
shadow thief’s set of skills attacked them, the frost hunter might end up
with no health, but it wouldn’t fall to the ground.
The shaman could put down a resurrection totem at the last moment, and
the two of them would stand up again in an instant.
If the totems could be matched up well, and a totem that doubled attack
speed was dropped, they could kill a shadow thief, who had no cooldowns
left, with just a few arrows.
Under normal circumstances, the divine warrior should follow up and

connect the skills at the moment that the shadow thief finished dealing
damage, interrupting the resurrection totem and ensuring that their
opponent died completely, without a chance to turn the tables.
Unfortunately, the divine warrior tried its best to rush over, only to meet the
deadly arrows of a frost hunter at full health.
This was the disconnect.
In a doubles match without cooperation, they could only lose.
The two players could show off their moves all they liked, but it was simply
offering up their heads separately.
This was also the reason why Kim Sung-hyun was unwilling to play
doubles with Close.
These f*cking ups and downs were bad for his heart!
He had to watch as his health bar emptied out, had to tell himself to be
steady and quickly deal damage…
Once was alright, but it was like this every single time. Even if he won, he
wasn’t happy about it!
It was because it wasn’t his strength that won the game, but the doubles
mechanism itself.
Thinking about it that way made it even more disgusting.
Defeat!
There was no doubt about it. Wei Xiao and Lu Feng lost the doubles match.
Lu Feng took off his headset and looked at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao was in a stunned daze.
Lu Feng spoke lightly, “The team games won’t be like this. In the future,
we won’t play…”
Wei Xiao dropped the headset and turned his head to look at him. His eyes
seemed to be burning, “This is what Yuan Ze meant when he said that you
can’t play doubles?”
Wei Xiao didn’t suppress his voice at all, “You’re explosively strong,
okay!”
Kim Sung-hyun, who’d just won the game and came over to shake hands as
well as comfort the poor, pitiful little rookie of FTW, who’d just heard these
words, “???”
Wei Xiao spoke excitedly, “Old Dog Yuan’s words really can’t be trusted.
He just didn’t want me to play doubles with you on purpose, how could he
be such a dog. He just doesn’t want people to be happy!”
The three words ‘Old Dog Yuan’ were words that Kim Sung-hyun
empathized with deeply, but the words that came after…
Kim Sung-hyun really wanted to help that old dog explain: You’ve
misunderstood him. Although Old Yuan is seldom misunderstood, you’ve
really gotten it wrong this time!
Wei Xiao was still very excited. Previously, he’d only thought that soloing
with Lu Feng was very exciting. He’d never ever thought that doubles
matches would be this thrilling.
It turned out… this shadow thief made his scalp numb when it was his
opponent, but it made him shiver when it was his teammate!
Stimulating, it was too stimulating!
This obvious power gap, this visible strength, this natural gap that stood in
front of his eyes, all poked perfectly at his heart that was eager to catch up.
It was too amazing.
Sure enough, Close was always able to surprise him.

Wei Xiao, who wasn’t quite so interested in 5v5, was now completely
burning with passion due to this doubles match.
He wanted to play 5v5, he wanted to be teammates with Close. He wanted

to watch his sword swing in all directions, and he wanted to sweep down
everything in their path with him!
No way, he couldn’t stand it!
Just now, he’d been shocked during the entire doubles match and hadn’t
fully experienced it.
Wei Xiao noticed Kim Sung-hyun and immediately said, “Again!”
The God Kim who was already unable to maintain his lofty, cold flower
appearance, “!”
Wei Xiao looked at the time and said, “There’s still time. God Kim, let’s
play another game. Just now…”
Someone held him by the collar. Wei Xiao: “Eh…”
He turned around and saw his own captain.
There was no expression on Lu Feng’s face, but the bright light was
reflected in his eyes, like a bonfire in a cold winter night, “Let’s go.”
There was a slight uptick in his tone.
How could Wei Xiao be willing? He begged, “It’s not solo, it’s a doubles
match. It’s a doubles match with God Kim and God Ran!”
Lu Feng: “It’s already finished.”
Wei Xiao: “Let’s have another game. Everyone probably wasn’t able to see
clearly, and God Kim hasn’t fought enough, right? God Kim…”
He tried desperately to hint at Kim Sung-hyun.

Kim Sung-hyun: “……”
Sorry, he’d fought enough, definitely, completely enough!
“Cough…” The host who was inexplicably a little redundant came over,
“Congratulations…”
Kim Sung-hyun hurriedly accepted the microphone, thanked his opponents,

thanked his team, thanked the competition committee, all in one go.
After saying all that, he didn’t even give the host the opportunity to give her
summarizing speech, pulling Li Heran with him as he ran off quickly.
Don’t go!
The host was really scared of these players who didn’t play cards according
to common sense and hurriedly said, “Thank you Pro and FTW for the
wonderful match. And now, Glory 2021’s Winter Training officially
begins!”
With these words, it was impossible to continue fighting. Wei Xiao was
very unwilling as he was ‘carried’ off-stage by his captain.
They passed by L&P on the way back to their seats, and Wei Xiao replied to
him with, “I don’t regret it.”
Wei Xiao lowered his voice and said firmly, “I will keep up with him, and I
don’t need him to stop and wait for me.”
It was a simple sentence, but it stabbed accurately at Yuan Ze.
Yuan Ze froze for a moment, then curved his lips and smiled––
Keep up with him.

Don’t need him to stop and wait.
What arrogant hubris, little asshole.
Something none of us were able to achieve, do you think you can do it?!
Gary only vaguely heard it, “Wha? Keep who… wait for who?”
Yuan Ze tilted his head and looked at his own big fool, “Gary.”
Old G: “Ah?”
Yuan Ze: “Do you want to win the championship?”
Old G: “Yes!”
Yuan Ze patted him on the shoulder and smiled like a fox, “Go and trade
FTW’s Quiet into our team, and our win this year will be guaranteed.”
Gary, who didn’t want to be an ‘exchange player’, “???”
Yuan Ze turned to look at the group from FTW.
Wei Xiao’s face was unabashedly excited, and it wasn’t clear what he was
chattering about with his teammates.
Lu Feng, who’d been in a low mood before going up onto the stage, no
longer had the same haze over his eyebrows, and his cold eyes were lit up
with sparks.
Yuan Ze sighed softly––
They would have contenders for this year’s global finals.
Facts proved that all of Chen Feng’s worries had been superfluous!
Sure enough, he still didn’t understand Little Lunatic Wei enough. He

shouldn’t use the psychology of normal players to guess at what this little
lunatic would do!
After losing the doubles and being suppressed by his own teammate
throughout the entire process, Quiet, who the entire audience thought would
be miserable, wasn’t depressed at all after stepping down. Instead…
Wei Xiao: “Coach, help me review the game when we go back!”
Are you f*cking human?
Wei Xiao: “I feel like I got it a little in the last wave, but my hands couldn’t
keep up with my brain. Sure enough, I’m still not familiar enough with the
divine warrior.”
Chen Feng, as a coach, hadn’t even watched the second half of the match
carefully!
Wei Xiao: “The divine warrior has its advantages. If I had used the divine
move before the captain started his combo…”
He hadn’t finished his words yet when Lu Feng pressed down on the top of
his head, “We’re going back.”
Wei Xiao’s attention was immediately drawn to him, “When we go back,

let’s…”
Lu Feng strode forward, “Rest.”
Wei Xiao followed behind him, “It’s not solo, it’s doubles. If God Kim
doesn’t want to fight, we can look for Asleep. They…”
Lu Feng stopped.
Wei Xiao also stopped. “Captain?”
Lu Feng looked back at him, “You…”
Wei Xiao’s gaze didn’t flinch in the slightest. His pair of eyes was pure and
warm, filled with a vigorous heat that went straight into a person’s heart.
Lu Feng felt that his heart had been scalded and lowered his gaze, “…
Don’t you feel aggrieved.”
This was the knot in Lu Feng’s heart, and the fundamental reason why he
was reluctant to play doubles.
––Aggrieved.
Everyone who’d cooperated with him in doubles games felt aggrieved.
He wanted to cooperate with them, but they felt aggrieved.
He wanted to win the game, but they felt even more aggrieved.
They were clearly teammates, and it was clearly a battlefield for two
people, but Lu Feng had never felt that there was someone beside him.
He didn’t want to push anyone away, and he didn’t want to leave anyone
behind.
But when he looked back, there was always nobody behind him.
Glory was a team game.
Close had done whatever it took to buy FTW.
However, it was a team that had never belonged to him.
Wei Xiao blinked, “Aggrieved?”
Lu Feng knew that Wei Xiao didn’t feel aggrieved, but he wanted to ask.
This was the first time in four years that he’d asked this question.
And the answer he received was the youth’s bright smile.
“… I feel quite aggrieved.” Wei Xiao hinted at him like crazy, “Because
you won’t accompany me to play a second match!”
Aaaahhhh, Close was too good at leaving one hanging, he could never get
enough!
xiin: WX, i love you, you’re going to fix all the wounds on my baby Close’s
heart~
Ch42 - I feel like he wants to catch
me!
It was already twelve o’clock by the time they returned to their rooms.
Wei Xiao followed Lu Feng into the room. Lu Feng looked at him, “You
shower first?”
Wei Xiao was currently in high spirits and didn’t want to wash up and sleep
at all.
“Captain… it’s only twelve o’clock…” Wei Xiao tried hard to hint at him.
Lu Feng: “Mm. It’s time to sleep.”
Wei Xiao was unwilling, “There’s no night in e-sports!”
Lu Feng was in a good mood and accompanied him to talk nonsense, “Then
don’t sleep tonight.”
Wei Xiao: “Not sleeping, not sleeping then.” Staying up all night was as
normal as eating rice.
Lu Feng: “Mm. You can catch up on sleep during the day and miss the
opening of the winter server.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Right, the winter server would open at 1:00 tomorrow afternoon. He had to
go in and fight for points!
Lu Feng looked at him, “Sleeping?”

Wei Xiao cried, “Ah! Sleep, sleep, sleep, I’m sleeping, okay?”
He lay on his back in the bed, sprawled out everywhere.
Lu Feng moved his gaze away, “Wash up.”
Wei Xiao was too lazy to get up, “You go first. I have something to do.”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry, I’m not playing the game, I…” His eyes shifted,
and he thought of something, “I have to tell my girlfriend I’ve arrived
safely.”
Wei Xiao’s act was flawless, “I’ve been messing around all day and haven’t
had time to contact her. She sent me a lot of messages…”
Cough, the boss was really busy and hadn’t looked for him all day.
Lu Feng quietly picked up his mobile phone and headed to the bathroom,
“Then you do what you need to do.”
Wei Xiao wasn’t actually busy with anything, “’Kay!”
Lu Feng went to take a bath. Wei Xiao pulled out his cell phone and found
his boss’s contact information. He hesitated for a long time but didn’t send
out a message.
He was very busy with training and might not be able to spare even an hour
for the boss.
It was a good thing that the boss hadn’t contacted him today. If he really
went to find him, then he…
Ah, Wei Xiao wanted to return the money again. He really wasn’t doing
right by the boss.
Just as he was about to put down his phone, it beeped.
Wei Xiao opened it and took a look, then instantly sat up straight.
Talk about bad things, and bad things would happen!
It was his boss!
What to do?
Wei Xiao was afraid to open it up and learn that the boss was looking for
him to play games!
LU: “Asleep?”
Wei Xiao thought for a while and replied, “Not yet.”
If the boss wanted to play games, he could go to Old Bai’s room and
borrow his computer!
LU: “I’m traveling these days and may not be able to play.”
Wei Xiao was instantly happy.
He was really super lucky. He was busy, and his boss was also busy. Great!
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Wei Xiao replied quickly, “I’ll take you to rack up
points after you’re back.”
LU: “Okay.”
Wei Xiao tried to ask tentatively, “So, boss, how long will you be out for?”
LU: “Two or three days.”
That was good, that was good. He could settle down first over the next two
or three days, and he would be able to spare an hour to accompany the boss
after getting familiar with the rhythm here.
Reasonably speaking, they’d dealt with the problem, and the two of them
could stop speaking now.
They were two grown men. There was nothing to talk about without the
game.
Who could’ve known that LU would send another message?
“…Can I chat with you once in a while?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
He quickly took a screenshot and sent it to Bai Cai within the second.
Bai Cai didn’t reply.
Wei Xiao caught his attention with a voice call and continued to type
crazily, “Old Bai, Old Bai, save me, save me!”
Bai Cai had only just opened up his precious suitcase and taken out his
newly purchased LV pajamas. He was ready to take a hot bath…
“What?” Bai Cai casually picked up the phone and pressed it against his
shoulder.
Wei Xiao lowered his voice and said, “Look at your WeChat messages!” He
was afraid that Lu Feng would hear him.
Bai Cai didn’t take it seriously. He discovered that he hadn’t cut off the tag
on his new pajamas and was groping around trying to cut it off, “It’s the
middle of the night, what kind of fuss did you kick up now?”
Wei Xiao was very anxious, “Hurry and look! It’s 10,000% urgent!”
Bai Cai carefully cut off the label while scanning through his cell phone.
And then…
“Shit!” His hand shook, and he didn’t cut the label properly. Instead, he cut
a hole in his clothes!
Damn it, his newly purchased pajamas!
Damn it, his 13,000 yuan!
A screenshot appeared on the screen of his mobile phone, followed by Wei

Xiao’s exuberant chatter––
“It’s over, it’s over, Old Bai, I’m done for, my boss must be gay, he likes
me!”
“This two million of his isn’t because he’s looking for an accompanying
player, he’s looking for a boyfriend!”
“Or maybe it’s… someone on the side?”
“No, no, no, my boss isn’t that kind of person. He must be single and just
wants to catch me.”
“Old Bai, what should I do? How do I refuse him?”
To tell the truth, before clicking open the screenshot, just looking at the text
made Bai Cai think that the captain had confessed to Wei Xiao using his
identity as LU!
Which was why his hand trembled, and he’d cut his clothing into pieces.
He didn’t have time to worry about his clothes out of fear that Wei Xiao’s
mouth would cause him to end up dead in bed. He quickly picked up his
mobile phone and looked carefully.
After reading…
Motherf*cker, Wei Xiao, you’re paying for my damned clothes!
The corner of Bai Cai’s mouth twitched, “He’s just looking to chat with
you, your brain is overthinking it!”
How messy!
Wei Xiao’s brain was clear, and he was also extremely keen, “Wake up! Me
and him are both men. Other than playing games, what can we talk about?”
How the hell would I know?!
Wei Xiao continued to analyze, “Look at the two of us right now. Other
than the game, is there anything else you want to talk about with me?”
Bai Cai: “There is…”
Wei Xiao was shocked, “You can’t also have a secret crush on me, right?!”
Bai Cai: “Go and get lost ahhhhhhhh!”
And pay for my f*cking clothes ahhhhhh!
Wei Xiao didn’t get lost, “You see, there’s nothing to say!”
Bai Cai’s brain hurt, but he didn’t dare to mess up the captain’s plans and
could only deceive Wei Xiao, “You’re thinking too much. Your boss is so
rich, so if he really wants to find a boyfriend, how could he be unable to
find one?”
Wei Xiao: “What if he wants to find one who plays games?”
Wei Xiao: “Look at me, I’m so amazing, and attractive, and I know how to
talk and how to coax people. I even said words of love like ‘this pentakill is
yours, and you belong to me’, umm…”
Bai Cai was in a state of zen now, “Why don’t you ask him directly?”
Wei Xiao’s brain computer froze and didn’t reply to him anymore.
Bai Cai waited for a long time. He was worried and sent him a question
mark.
10 minutes later, Wei Xiao replied, “I’m good, I’m good!”
Bai Cai: “???”
Wei Xiao: “Nothing, nothing. I thought too much about it. Go to bed early.”
Bai Cai exploded: “Come out and clear it up for me!”
Where did you learn this stinky bad habit of leaving people hanging!
Wei Xiao sent another screenshot to Bai Cai: “It turned out that my boss
just wanted to learn more about the e-sports circle.”
Bai Cai clicked open the image and read the content––
LU: I’m very interested in the e-sports industry. Since you’re a professional
player, we can talk more about it when the opportunity comes up.
Wei Xiao: “I guess that my boss wants to invest in an e-sports club. Tsk tsk,
he really is a successful career man.”
Bai Cai was silent for a moment: Your boss is indeed successful in his
career, but he doesn’t need to invest in a club. He has one himself!
Wei Xiao: “Not talking to you anymore. I’m going to introduce my boss to
e-sports!”
Bai Cai: “Ummmm…”
He would’ve never dared to think that Close would need a newbie’s

introduction to the e-sports circle one day.
Bai Cai thought about it back and forth but couldn’t figure it out.
If he really had to assign the captain a reason for this set of operations…
It was probably what Wei Xiao had said… he wanted to catch him!
Wei Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed and unknowingly talked with LU for
half an hour.
He was serious as he summed up the e-sports circle and even gave him an
introduction on the current training matches.
Under LU’s seemingly casual guidance, he gave an exaggerated account of

his own amazing operations that day.
As they talked, they eventually came to the topic of Close.
LU: “Do you feel bad about losing the doubles match?”
Wei Xiao: “What’s there to feel bad about? Boss, you don’t understand.
Winning and losing is a common thing for soldiers. How can you win all
the time?”
LU: “Don’t call me boss. Call me… well, my surname is Lu.”
Wei Xiao peeked at the shower and typed, “You might not know, but my
captain’s last name is also Lu.”
A certain captain who’d been leaning against the shower for half an hour: I
really do know this.
LU: “What a coincidence.”
Wei Xiao thought about how the two of them were so familiar now. Calling
him boss all the time was a little too estranged, so he casually said, “In that
case, I’ll call you Brother Lu!”
Wei Xiao continued, “If you invest in a club in the future, don’t be afraid of
losing, especially during the training and regular seasons. If you lose, you
can discover problems, and if you discover the problems, you can solve
them. If you can solve them, then you’ll be able to deal with heavy sieges in
the playoffs!”
The regular season was a point system, and losing a few games was normal.
A so-called ‘grand slam’ in the China competition zone was something that
only FTW’s Team of Gods had managed to do back then.
The playoffs were based on an elimination system, and teams couldn’t

afford to lose.
LU couldn’t help but ask him, “Then, did you discover the problem today?”
Wei Xiao: “I did!”
LU: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “I’m too trash! I’m not good enough and couldn’t keep up with
the captain. Boss… oh, Brother Lu, you don’t know this, but my captain is
really amazing. I always loved soloing with him before, and I felt that
beating him as an opponent was very exciting. I always wanted to win
against him. Today, I discovered that being his teammate is even more
exciting. You don’t know, but the huge gap in strength is something that I
can only feel deeply when I’m around him!”
It was 12:40AM, and it had already passed Lu Feng’s bedtime, but…
Lu Feng’s fingertips tapped very briskly on the surface of the mobile phone,
“So, not only do you want to win against him now, you also want to fight
with him?”
Wei Xiao slapped his thigh, “Yes! Brother Lu, your words are too accurate.
I want to fight with him side by side. Being able to kill in all directions next
to him would really be super cool!”
LU: “You can.”
Wei Xiao’s tail flipped up, “Of course, I’m very powerful!”
Previously, Close had said that he could win against him. Now, he wanted
to have Close say that he was his teammate, his real teammate!
Speaking of which…
Wei Xiao spoke up, “Captain, have you finished washing up yet?”
It had already been 40 minutes. What kind of bath was the captain taking?
Was he a pea princess?
No, he didn’t seem to have heard the sound of water.
Wei Xiao’s tone was curious, “Captain?”
Lu Feng came out, “I’ve finished.”
In fact, he’d only changed into pajamas.
Wei Xiao: “Why couldn’t I hear the sound of water?”
Lu Feng was silent for a moment, “The sound insulation must be pretty
good.”
Wei Xiao was incredulous, “A high level resort hotel really is different!”
Lu Feng thought about the dry bathroom and really regretted the nonsense
he’d come up with.
Fortunately, Wei Xiao didn’t plan to take a bath. He jumped out of bed and
said, “Captain, you sleep first. I’m going out for a while.”
Wei Xiao explained himself, “Don’t worry. I’ll be back by 2AM. It won’t
delay the scoring tomorrow!”
There was no helping it. He was excited from talking to the boss and
couldn’t sleep. He had to find the coach to review the game; today’s
doubles match had too much content, and he really wanted to take a proper
look at it!
It was useless just to talk without putting it into practice. He couldn’t just
say that he wanted to cooperate with the captain; he had to take practical
action as well.
He would start with reviewing the game!
Lu Feng still asked him, “Where are you going?”
Wei Xiao confessed honestly, “Finding the coach to review.”
As though afraid that Lu Feng would stop him, Wei Xiao slipped out
quickly.
Lu Feng’s mobile phone vibrated slightly––
Little Xiao: “Brother Lu, there’s something I have to do. I’m going out
first.”
Lu Feng: “Mm. I’m going to shower.”
Little Xiao: “Talk again next time~!”
Wei Xiao knocked on Chen Feng’s door. The one who opened it was Tang
Chen, “Not sleeping yet?”
Wei Xiao slipped in, “Coach!”
Chen Feng was watching the video replay in front of the computer.
He was watching FTW’s training match from before. Being a coach wasn’t
something that could be done just by talking. Although he didn’t have to
train for a long time like the players, he was just as tired as the players
were. For a review session that lasted a few hours, the coach might have
done over 10 hours of preparation beforehand, refining anything that could
be refined.
Chen Feng turned to look at him, “What’s up?”
Wei Xiao laughed cheekily.
Chen Feng felt a migraine coming on, “Go back and sleep. I don’t have the
replay of the doubles match!”
He could figure out what this kid wanted with his eyes closed.
Wei Xiao had prepared early, “I have it!”
Chen Feng was surprised, “Where did you get it from?”
The competition committee would definitely have it, but it was so late, and
there was no way to go and ask them for it.
Wei Xiao gave Bai Cai a phone call, “Old Bai!”
Bai Cai had only just finished sewing up his pajamas, “What!”
To hell with forgiving friends; if he could go back to two years ago, he

wouldn’t have gotten to know this little beast even if he was beaten to
death!
Wei Xiao: “You recorded the performance match, right?”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t pretend to be stupid. I know you recorded it. Hurry and
bring it over. I’m in Coach Chen’s room. He wants to help me review the
game.”
I don’t, I really don’t want to review the match for you.

Bai Cai hesitated for a while.
Wei Xiao: “Please, Brother Cai, I’ll give you money!”
Bai Cai was very clear on accounts even amongst brothers, “How much?”
Wei Xiaoxiao wasn’t short on money now, “10,000!”
Bai Cai took a look at the pajamas in his hands, “Deal.”
Bai Cai was just next door and soon came over.
Chen Feng was doubtful, “You recorded it?”
Of course Bai Cai had recorded it. It was such a classic event, how could he
not?
Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran’s doubles match. He could take any random
cut from it and get traffic.
Of course, Brother Cai wouldn’t say this. He explained calmly, “I can’t

ignore any game, especially today’s doubles match. It touched me quite
deeply and deserved to be recorded and watched carefully.”
Coach Chen always felt that this tone was a little familiar.
Wei Xiao helped his brother out, “Come, Coach, quickly come and see
where the gap between me and the captain is.”
Wei Xiao’s enthusiasm wasn’t a lie. Chen Feng stared at him for a while
and suddenly said, “Do you know why Yuan Ze always avoids Close?”
Wei Xiao, whose thoughts had been locked on reviewing the match, was
stunned.
Bai Cai’s ears perked up instantly.
Tang Chen also looked at Chen Feng in surprise.

Chen Feng asked, “Do you want to know about the previous FTW?”
Ch43 - Don’t look back, move
forward
The previous FTW?
Chen Feng’s question was simply a redundant question. In the entire Glory
circle, who in the new generation didn’t want to know about the FTW from
back then?
Four years ago, FTW was beautiful and boundless. Not only was that the
case within the China competition zone, it was also known in all 16
competition zones around the world. Anyone who heard about FTW would
pay close attention to them.
In the e-sports circle, every year, there were super peak class players,
outstanding new talents, and legendary players that took their teams into the
realm of legends.
Having one every year was no surprise, but having five of them in one year
and all of them in the same team was very exaggerated.
In all of Glory’s history, it had only happened once.
FTW was an old powerhouse that had attracted many excellent players with
its qualifications.
The first to join that year was their captain, the support position Yan Jiang.
Then came the ADC, Kim Sung-hyun from Korea.
After that was Xie He, the mid-laner who’d terminated his contract with an
elite domestic team.
Finally, there was Yuan Ze, who’d stood out in the second team, had bad
taste, and liked to smear people on the ground.
This was the FTW before Close joined the team. At the time, Chen Feng
had played the jungler position.
Chen Feng announced his retirement after only playing with them for one
season. That season had left him more tired than all five previous seasons.
Coach Chen was old and couldn’t afford to continue tossing about like this.
So, FTW discovered Close, who was still in the youth training camp at the
time.
A 16 year old youth who looked like a star and was clearly well bred.
Indeed…
Close hadn’t even been 17 when he joined the team. He only turned 17 after
the competition began.
At such a young age, FTW couldn’t sign him without parental consent.
However, the Close from that time was too brilliant.
His operations were amazing, his game consciousness was strong, his brain
was flexible, and he was savvy and knowledgeable.
Not to mention that face of his. Even if he was signed on just for show, it
would still carry high commercial value.
At the time, FTW had already begun to act against the rules. They faked
things for Close and obtained his parents’ signatures so that he could join
the team.
In just a short period of six months, FTW soared up to the skies.
They crushed the regular season with a grand slam, obtained total victory in
the playoffs, and crushed the runner up until their mentality collapsed in the
domestic finals.
A proper finals competition played out like a random pick up group game.
The runner up team that had been beaten 3:0 was depressed for an entire
season and couldn’t stand up again until they changed their starting line-up.
It was enough that they dominated at home, but after going abroad, the five
of them were still overturning the heavens and razing the earth.
The global competition was divided into the qualifiers, elimination rounds,
and the finals.
Those who were shortlisted participated in a round robin. The three seeded
teams from the 16 competition zones added up to a total of 48 teams, and
the top 16 with the highest points entered the elimination matches.
At the time, FTW set the highest score record for the history of Glory
during the qualifiers, winning 20 games in a row, entering the elimination
matches with 30 points, and ranking 1st.
The team that was number one in points had the opportunity to choose their
opponents. In the elimination matches, FTW killed everyone they met,
heading straight into the top four.
In the global finals, FTW was still full of momentum. They didn’t care that
it was an away game and hammered the champion and runner up from last
year to their heart’s content.
2017 was a year that belonged to FTW.
FTW won the team championship and individual championships, and only
missed out on the doubles championship because they hadn’t signed up for
it at all.
What was more ridiculous was the individual finals, where the champion
and runner up were both from FTW.
The top-lane Yuan Ze and mid-lane Xie He.
In the end, Yuan Ze won the championship, and Xie He was the runner up.
It was also from that year that the competition committee changed the
registration rules, making it so that each team could only sign up one player
for the individual competition.
Having to watch ‘infighting’ for the global finals was too much!
This was the FTW from that year. It was magnificent and brilliant, and it
was the Team of Gods from four years ago that still haunted the global
Glory circle.
It was a pity that such a team ended up scattered.
After achieving such proud results, Kim Sung-hyun’s contract expired, and
he returned to South Korea.
That wasn’t much. These five people were strong enough that ‘slashing’
away one of them was another way to give other teams a chance to survive.
However, who could’ve known that the next month would be so turbulent?
Yan Jiang transferred.
Xie He left as well.
Yuan Ze also went to the North American competition zone.
In the FTW lobby that held the world championship cup that stood for the
highest level of glory, only Close was left.
The Team of Gods disbanded.
FTW was heading towards its end.
There were many different opinions about the reasons for the disbandment
of the team.
Back then, when the news first came out, the articles and discussion posts
written would have added up to millions of words.
Some people said that the team had been too strong, and they had no
opponents. The people who had ascended to the Temple were now relying
on this brilliant record to seek defeat on their own.
Some others said it was internal disharmony. These people had long had
frequent conflicts. They were all godly level players, and nobody would
give in to the other. Normally, they were annoyed just looking at each other,
and now they would disperse as soon as they could.
Others also said that it was because of Close. FTW was too biased towards
this rookie, and even gave him the important field position. The other
players weren’t satisfied, and the seeds for contradiction started there.
……
……
Later, when Close bought FTW and became its new owner, there was even
more malicious speculation.
About how Close had only been a cover, and the talent behind him was the
real operator.
About how there was obviously something wrong with Close, and it was
likely that someone had taken a fancy to him.
About how some rich owner had bought the team for Close to play with,
and the other players left early on because they were sickened by it.
The remarks from those years had left Chen Feng so angry he was unable to
sleep for three days and three nights!
The people who weren’t involved didn’t know anything. How could they be
so malicious just through their speculations?
They didn’t know anything. What gave them the right to insult Close like
that?
The person who’d done the most for the team, for everyone involved, was a
youth who’d only just reached 18, okay?!
Chen Feng was unwilling to mention these things, because he couldn’t

suppress the pain that spread over his chest and the rolling nausea that
wanted to take over whenever it was brought up.
He felt disgust at the ignorant and heartache for Close.
However, he was going to say it today.
Because Wei Xiao should know.
Chen Feng closed his eyes. “There was something wrong with FTW’s
management.”
What he wanted to say was the truth that people didn’t know, what was
hidden in the depths, and the real reason for the FTW’s dissolution.
“Kim Sung-hyun had decided to leave a long time ago.” Chen Feng said.
“At the time, Kim Sung-hyun had come to FTW because back home…
well, in short, he always wanted to go back, and everyone was happy for
him when it became possible.”
Although e-sports clubs didn’t have any national boundaries, being able to
return to one’s own home country would bring some measure of calm to
their hearts. Everyone could understand Kim Sung-hyun’s choice.
Chen Feng breathed gently and continued, “The management of FTW at the
time wanted to withdraw from the e-sports circle.”
Wei Xiao and Bai Cai, who were both listening, were stunned.
Bai Cai asked, “Withdraw at their peak?”
Chen Feng was calm, “It had already reached the peak. What was left was
only a downhill road.”
Wei Xiao was very smart and suddenly guessed it, “They wanted to sell off
the starters at the time?”
Chen Feng closed his eyes. “Yes.”
The Team of Gods was too dazzling, and every player’s ability was too top-
notch.
What was the concept of a team who had practically won every single game
from the regular season all the way to the global championships?
It was no different from a student getting full marks in all their exams from
the first grade of primary school all the way to their doctorate.
It was too impractical.
It directly affected the balance of the entire system.
The competition committee began to investigate FTW thoroughly. FTW

could ensure that the players had all played to their true level and that the
results were authentic, but the club’s operations couldn’t withstand this
investigation into all aspects of their management.
After some loopholes were uncovered, the management thought of

performing a ‘rapid retreat’.
They had already reached the peak, and it was impossible for them to beat
their current performance.
Rather than toppling, why not…
Countless teams had already offered high prices. As long as FTW nodded,
they could take the members away at any moment.
Who in the Team of Gods back then wasn’t proud?
How could they bear with the club’s despicable conduct?

Yuan Ze was the first to break things off with the club, followed by Xie He,
then Yan Jiang. It was only Close who said to them, “Don’t be anxious, give
me some time.”
What could an 18 year old sprout of a boy do?
These older brothers couldn’t bear to hurt him, and they perfunctorily
coaxed him until…
Chen Feng’s voice was hoarse, “Nobody had thought that Close would
actually buy FTW.”
Bai Cai froze.
Wei Xiao’s eyes were red, “But they all left!”
The tip of Chen Feng’s nose was sour, “Yes.”
Nobody knew how Close had done it, or what kind of compromises Close
had given to his family. In short, he bought FTW and took ownership over
the team.
He wanted to keep his teammates and give them a free FTW.
However, Yuan Ze and the others had already signed contracts and ended up
going to other teams.
In the face of disaster, everyone had flinched.
This was the Team of Gods who had bravely gone forward in the arena, the
FTW starters who were invincible on the championship stage. However, in
the face of disaster after their victory, the choice they made was to give up.
They gave up FTW, gave up the supreme glory they’d striven for, and gave
up the entire team.
The only one who chose to stick with it was Close.

The only person left to face the disaster head-on was Close, who had just
turned 18.
Couldn’t the team members of the Team of Gods back then also have
bought FTW?
One of them alone might not have been able to, but three of them together
would have had a good chance of winning over capital by virtue of their
own fame.
But they’d never considered it.
They never thought of protecting FTW, never thought of protecting their

teammates or the countless fans who believed in them.
When they learned that Close had become FTW’s new owner––
Yuan Ze had already gone to North America, and Yan Jiang and Xie He had
already gone to Europe.
The Team of Gods scattered.
The room was extremely quiet. Nobody spoke.
Tang Chen silently handed a paper towel over to Chen Feng. Chen Feng
tried to suppress it, and tried not to recall more of that difficult past.
He was a witness. He was one who’d watched Close face the empty FTW,
watched as he came through step by step.
Who could imagine how Close felt at the time?
He’d put out more effort than could be imagined in order to keep his
teammates, but it had all come to nothing.
All of his teammates were gone. They all had new prospects, while he was
still in the same place and couldn’t go anywhere.
He was the one who’d personally tied himself to the collapsed FTW.
What had been left of FTW at the time?
A rundown base, a fragmented logistics team, a group of old players who

had nowhere to go, and a row of once brilliant, but now dusty,
championship trophies.
Standing in such an empty FTW, Close didn’t fall.
He formed a new team, led a group of inexperienced newcomers and rushed

into the Chinese finals, winning the runner up position in 2018.
This was a wonderful legend. In the year when everyone thought that FTW
was completely broken, Close created a new impossibility.
In the same year, Close entered the global finals, winning all the way until
he obtained the singles championship.
In 2019, FTW ushered in new capital injection, and new shoots grew out of
the collapsed ruins of FTW.
That year, FTW still managed a good record in China, and Close still won
the world championship for the singles with crushing momentum.
When the host lauded him as a two-time championship winner, someone

corrected him. It was three in a row!
This 18 year old was a starter of the Team of Gods in 2017 and the jungler
of the FTW who had won the team competition!
That year, Close met Wei Xiao, who was still in the youth training camp.
While everyone was competing for the rookie king, FTW offered a high
signing fee of 2 million.
Nobody knew what this two million meant.
That had been all the money that Close could take out at the time!
He wanted Wei Xiao.

He hoped that this gifted child could bring new hope to FTW.
Unfortunately…
Wei Xiao’s face was pale, “Back then, I…”
Chen Feng already knew about his matters and comforted him, “I’m not
telling you these things so that you’ll blame yourself. You couldn’t have
played the game back then with your situation.”
Wei Xiao lowered his gaze and clenched his fists.
Chen Feng: “At the time, Close often told me, don’t look back, move
forward.”
Wei Xiao’s heart shook.
Chen Feng continued, “So, Wei Xiao, don’t think about two years ago.
Move forward.”
He was telling Wei Xiao about FTW’s past in the hopes that he would
understand that the ice cold Close in front of him, this world’s number one
who seemed so unfeeling, this person who fans called the great demon king,
had a heart that was softer than anyone else’s.
From the beginning to now, he had never given up on the team. Even if
people were gone and the building was empty, even if everything was a
mess, even if there was nothing left.
Such a person should have teammates that belonged to him, should have a
team that was his, and should have all the glory.
Previously, Chen Feng had never understood why Lu Feng paid so much
attention to Wei Xiao.
Today’s doubles match had helped him understand.
Wei Xiao was someone that Close admired.

A youth who was like the sun, a brave and indomitable soldier, a soul who
could pull everyone together and ignite their desire to fight!
Wei Xiao bounced up abruptly. “I’m heading back.”
Chen Feng called out to him, “Wei Xiao.”
Chen Feng spoke slowly, “Lu Feng has never complained about anyone.”
Wei Xiao’s back was tight, “I know.”
Damn it, how could there be such a person as good as the captain in this
world!
Wei Xiao couldn’t wait for another minute or even another second. He
wanted to go back to his room. He wanted to tell Lu Feng, he wanted to let
him know…
When he pushed the door open, Wei Xiao froze.
There was someone else in the room.
The two people who were talking together stopped, and the one with his
back to Wei Xiao turned his head. Beneath the damp black hair was a pair
of long and narrow phoenix eyes and a small tear mole beneath one eye. It
was Kim Sung-hyun.
Kim Sung-hyun was a little surprised, “The review ended so soon?”
They were done reviewing, but what they’d reviewed was your FTW’s
Team of Dogs!
Wei Xiao’s aura was sizzling with murderous intent. Kim Sung-hyun could
sense that something was wrong and got up, “Cough, since Quiet is back,
I’ll head back first.”
Lu Feng hadn’t finished speaking earlier and didn’t try to avoid Wei Xiao
now. He spoke directly, “Avoiding a fight isn’t real respect.”
Just from this half a sentence, Wei Xiao could already guess what they were
talking about.
The words that he’d originally wanted to say to Lu Feng alone were now
shouted out directly, “Captain! Our FTW will take the singles
championship, doubles championship, and team championship for 2021!”
Kim Sung-hyun was shocked.
Wei Xiao stared at him and said, “The old FTW couldn’t do it, but the
current FTW can!”
xiin: i just .. want to cuddle baby Close. T____T
(sponsored post – you guys keep feeding us ko-fis, and there are endless
weeks of saturday releases to go~ thanks!!)
Ch44 - Rather than being
teammates, they were more suitable
as opponents.
These words were really arrogant!
FTW had once been a milestone in the Glory circle. They set a number of
records that even they themselves couldn’t break. How could this fresh kid
do it?!
Newborn calves weren’t afraid of tigers. He probably didn’t know how

cruel the e-sports competition scene really was!
Kim Sung-hyun felt that he shouldn’t quarrel with the younger generation,
but…
He was a little triggered, “Are you sure? We achieved a grand slam for the
regular season, full wins for the playoffs, a national championship, and…”
Wei Xiao didn’t back down at all and faced it head on, “We will break
FTW’s record for the highest points in the global finals, and we’ll win all
three championships in the global finals!”
This was something that the former FTW had been unable to do.
Kim Sung-hyun was amused, “Kid.”
Wei Xiao didn’t flinch. His eyes were incredibly serious.
Kim Sung-hyun knew that it was very childish, but he still wanted to battle
it out with this brat, “Don’t say that big brother didn’t remind you. The
professional arena is different from how it was before. Regardless of
whether it’s last year’s champion Y1 or Eve, as well as our Pro and L&P,
none of them are easy opponents!”
Y1’s captain was Yan Jiang, FTW’s former captain.
Eve’s mid-lane core was FTW’s mage king, Xie He.
L&P and Pro didn’t need to be mentioned. They had Yuan Ze and Kim
Sung-hyun.
They were all Lu Feng’s old teammates, but they were now in teams that
had fought to the bitter end in the world arena over the past two years.
Attempting to snatch away three championships from their hands was

extremely unlikely.
However…
Wei Xiao: “You’re the ones we will win against!”
He wanted to win against them and prove to Lu Feng that he was his real
teammate, and that he was stronger than everyone who’d come before him!
The future FTW would be stronger than it had been in the past!
Kim Sung-hyun lost his temper, “You haven’t even played in the domestic
competitions, yet you still want to win…”
Lu Feng interrupted him before he could finish, “It’s late.”
Lu Feng declared, “We are going to sleep.”
Kim Sung-hyun hadn’t finished fighting it out with this stinky boy. He
wanted to make him understand how high the heavens were, and how stinky
shit was!
Oh, the saying seemed to actually be ‘as high as heaven, as deep as the
earth’?
That wasn’t important!
Wei Xiao’s heart was fully occupied by the 18 year old Close. Thinking of
how pitiful the captain had been at the time, he felt extra heartache when he
looked at the captain in front of him now.
It was already half past one in the morning!
His captain should have gone to bed a long time ago!
Wei Xiao: “Yes, we’re going to sleep now!”
Kim Sung-hyun: “???”
Wei Xiao: “Goodbye!”
There was a bang, and God Kim was shut outside the door like a lightbulb
that had been expelled by a pair of lovers.
What was going on?! They hadn’t finished fighting yet!
Li Heran brought Kim Sung-hyun back to their room.
After going back, Kim Sung-hyun couldn’t sleep, “Brother, come rank with
me.”
Li Heran: “?”
Kim Sung-hyun couldn’t suppress the fire burning in his heart, “If that little
kid really robs me of the championship, I’m going to accompany Old Dog
Yuan in broadcasting eating shit!”
Even though he clearly knew that the kid was just talking wildly. Even
though he knew that FTW couldn’t possibly do what he’d said.
However, he’d still ignited Kim Sung-hyun’s fighting intent.

The fighting intent that had been lost for a long time, the desire to win.
––Avoiding a fight wasn’t real respect.
Kim Sung-hyun took out his cell phone and sent a message to Yuan Ze.
“Old Shi.”
Yuan Ze: “It’s teacher, damn it!”
“Yes, Old Shi,” Kim Sung-hyun spoke the words that were in his heart,
“I’m going to sign up for the singles this year.”
Yuan Ze, who’d just been about to scold him, was stunned.
Kim Sung-hyun tossed his phone aside after sending the message. He rolled
up his sleeves, “Come, let’s double queue!”
It had been three years. What gave them the right to ‘bully’ Close like this?!
Close was no longer that child who hadn’t yet grown up.
He’d become a man who held up a piece of the skies three years ago!
He didn’t need others to back down and give up, and he didn’t need them to
avoid fighting in the name of guilt.
What he wanted was respect!
When it came to men, they talked in the arena!
After driving away the outsiders, Wei Xiao looked at Lu Feng with wide
eyes.
Wei Xiao restrained himself and managed not to rush over and give his
captain a bear hug.
“Coach told me all about it.”

The little lunatic who’d been arrogant and contrary in front of Kim Sung-
hyun now looked like a cat who urgently needed its fur stroked.
Lu Feng’s hand was a little itchy. He wanted to stroke his soft, black hair.
However, he held back.
Lu Feng shifted his gaze away, “It was a long time ago.”
Wei Xiao’s heart felt like it was being squeezed, “You must have been so
sad back then!”
It hurt no matter how he thought about it. Close, who was the youngest in
the team, Close, who’d just reached adulthood.
He’d only been 18 years old. Most people didn’t even know what reality
was like at that age.
However, Close had already done so much, and done so many things that
even adults couldn’t do!
Lu Feng finally couldn’t hold back and patted the top of his head, “There’s
nothing to be sad about.”
Wei Xiao looked up at him, “How could you not be sad! You bought FTW,
but they left. Why didn’t they wait? Why didn’t they trust you…”
Lu Feng’s tone was flat when he mentioned the past, “Even if I’d bought
FTW earlier, I wouldn’t have been able to keep them.”
Wei Xiao paused.
The 18 year old Close hadn’t understood, but there wasn’t much that the
current Lu Feng couldn’t see through.
At the time, Close had thought that the culprit was FTW’s management.
He’d thought that they wanted to sell his teammates.
So, he’d purchased the club at all costs, wanting to keep everyone in the
team.
Yet, what he’d done was useless.
FTW’s management had really been doing whatever they pleased, but they
weren’t the main problem.
The Team of Gods was as brilliant as the midday sun, and its talented
players weren’t willing to bow down to anyone. After they won the highest
level of glory, they became more and more unwilling.
Why couldn’t FTW play in the doubles competition? It was because none of
them wanted to whole-heartedly cooperate.
Players in a 5v5 game had clear roles. As long as the gap between the
players was limited, and each player did their job well, victory was already
in sight.
However, it was different with doubles. There had to be cooperation, trust,

and reliance.
They were always competing against each other, and only thought of
showing off their own abilities. It was like they were always trying to be
better than the rest.
How could they cooperate with this kind of mentality?
Nobody could cooperate with Close?
It was just that they didn’t want to.
Because they didn’t want to fight side by side, and they all wanted to be
better than each other.
Lu Feng had understood it early on.
Disbanding had been the right thing to do.

For the old FTW, rather than being teammates, they were more suitable as
opponents.
These two years of intense Glory events had proved this to be the case.
The irony was…
They didn’t see Close as an opponent.
They used the concept of ‘guilt’ to avoid him, but in fact, it was an insult.
They’d given up the singles competition in order to focus on the team

competition, and their reasoning was that they ‘owed’ him, but essentially,
it signified that they looked down on him.
They looked down on the old team and also looked down on the defeated
FTW.
Pity was the greatest insult of all.
Wei Xiao was angry just from hearing about it, “They’re not worthy;
they’re not worthy of everything you’ve done and not worth you trying to
keep them!”
The youth’s righteous indignation made a smile appear in Lu Feng’s eyes

that couldn’t be concealed. It came straight from his heart.
Over these three years, no matter how much he understood, or how much he
tried to let it go, no matter how much he knew that there was no way to go
back and change the past, every time he thought about it, Lu Feng’s heart
would be enveloped in a dark fog that he couldn’t get rid of. It was thick
and heavy, and it made it difficult for him to breathe.
However, today, he didn’t feel downcast.
The haze was swept away, the mist dispersed, and there was a little sun
hanging there, shining brightly and giving off a dazzling glow.
Wei Xiao looked at him, “They’re not worthy of being your teammates!”
Lu Feng answered him, “Mm.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes brightened, “I’m…”
He was just about to say that he could definitely become his real teammate,
but then…
Wei Xiao was irritated, “I’m not worthy either, I’m too weak!”
Although the old beasts from the Team of Gods weren’t worthy of being Lu
Feng’s teammates, they were really very strong. They were undeniably
powerful.
There was a big difference between them and the Wei Xiao of today.
However, this wouldn’t keep Wei Xiao down. He soon cheered up again,
“Don’t worry, I’ll improve and grow very quickly, soon…”
Lu Feng spoke gently, “You’re the best…”
Wei Xiao’s eyes grew wide and huge.
Lu Feng looked at him and finished his words, “Better than everyone. I’m
very happy being your teammate.”
The corner of Wei Xiaoxiao’s lips curved up and up, soaring up towards the
sun along with his tail.
“Hey…” He was embarrassed, “When you say that, it makes my heart beat
faster!”
Lu Feng: “!”
Wei Xiao’s cheeks were a little red, but he didn’t dodge away at all. He
stared at Lu Feng and promised loudly, “I’ll never fail you!”
Wei Xiao: “I’ll absolutely never let you down!”

Lu Feng could vaguely guess what his next sentence would be.
Sure enough…
Wei Xiaoxiao’s blood was boiling and he said passionately, “I will

definitely surpass them!”
Lu Feng calmed down, “Sleep.”
Wei Xiao: “???”
Lu Feng glanced at him, “Go wash up.”
Wei Xiao piled all his words together, “Hey, hey, hey, Captain, don’t you
believe me? I’m not talking in my sleep! I can definitely become stronger
than them!”
Lu Feng tossed his bathrobe at him.
Wei Xiao hugged it tight and looked aggrieved, “You just said that I’m
better than everyone else. How come you don’t believe me now!”
Lu Feng lifted up his quilt, got into bed, and lay down.
Wei Xiao: “I really…”
Lu Feng finished the last thing he had to do before falling asleep––he

closed his eyes.
Wei Xiao: “………………”
Wei Little Xiao, who had no idea how he’d offended the captain, could only
go and take a bath.
He sighed as he washed up––
The captain’s heart was as unfathomable as a needle at the bottom of the

sea.
If he wanted to become a good, caring teammate, then he still needed to
work hard!
By the time Wei Xiao came out, Lu Feng was already sleeping.
He slowed his steps and snuck over.
Lu Feng lay on his side in the bed, his face turned towards Wei Xiao’s bed.
His black hair, which had been washed and dried, fell across the pillow like
soft silk. The eyes that pushed people thousands of miles away and kept
them at a distance were closed, and his side profile was so gentle that it left
Wei Xiao a complete mess.
What made Wei Xiao smile and curve his eyes was: The great demon king
of Glory actually had a cute sleeping posture where both of his hands were
stuffed beneath the pillow!
If he took a photo…
And posted it up on Weibo, his fan count would soar from 2.5 million to 5
million overnight.
“No way.”
Wei Xiao whispered to himself as he crawled into his own bed.
Such a cute captain, he wasn’t about to show this to anyone else!

Ch45 - Bai Cai: You didn't act like
a beast last night, right?
It was a dreamless night. By the time Wei Xiao woke up, he was the only
one left in the room.
He sat up and patted his face, then noticed that there were unread messages
on his cell phone.
Current time, 11 in the morning.
Great, there was still two hours before the winter training server opened.
Steady!
The unread messages had come in five minutes ago. They were from Bai
Cai, “Are you awake?”
Wei Xiao kicked on his slippers and headed to the bathroom, “What?”
Bai Cai: “Food!”
Wei Xiao: “Oh…”
A while later, Bai Cai sent another three words, “Last night, you…”
Wei Xiao poked out a question mark with one hand.
Bai Cai’s worries were very reasonable, “You guys didn’t do anything last
night, right?”
Wei Xiao: “???”

Bai Cai saw that using euphemisms wouldn’t work and spoke directly, “You
didn’t climb into the captain’s bed, right?!”
Wei Xiao tsked and set down his toothbrush to snark at Bai Cai, “Old Bai,
what’s the matter with you. Are you so eager to fall in love? What are you
hinting at all day long?!”
He had no reason to doubt that Bai Cai had some problems. How could a
normal straight man manage a ‘wonderful’ account like the Gossip Emperor
account?
Bai Cai was really angry, “Sleepwalking! I’m talking about whether or not
you sleepwalked!”
Based on this situation, he probably hadn’t.
Wei Xiao’s fingers moved quickly, “I won’t sleepwalk unless I’m too tired.
I slept before 3AM last night, so why the hell would I sleepwalk?!”
There were conditions for his sleepwalking, such as staying up late to play
games. As soon as he stayed up for 18 hours consecutively, there was a high
probability that he would sleepwalk.
Bai Cai relaxed, “Say, you know you have this problem, but you still dare to
sleep with others.”
Wei Xiao thought: What do you understand? The captain and I have already
slept together once. Making it twice or three times wouldn’t make a
difference.
Bai Cai said, “I have a single room, yet you don’t want to come over and
live here, and insist on squeezing in with the captain.”
Wei Xiao: “??????”
Bai Cai: “I think you’re…”
Wei Xiao: “F*ck, you have a single room?”

Bai Cai: “Yeah, there’s nine of us. There has to be someone with a single
room.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
Damn it, he’d been overthinking it and confused for a while and hadn’t
thought about living alone!
Bai Cai understood him too well, “Could it be that you didn’t know there
was a single room?”
Wei Xiao really hadn’t known, but how could he admit it?!
Wei Xiao insisted, “Of course I knew.”
Bai Cai was surprised, “So then… you just wanted to live with the
captain?!”
When it came to this, Wei Xiao once again acted shameless, “What, is that
not okay? Our captain is strong and handsome and takes care of me. Why
can’t I sleep with him!”
Bai Cai: “…………”
Sleep, sooner or later, you’ll be ‘slept’ to death!
Wei Xiao finished washing up and wondered where Lu Feng had gone.
However, he thought about how the captain was a busy man who had to
exercise and arrange work. He definitely wasn’t as free as Wei Xiao the
internet addict.
Wei Xiao went to Bai Cai’s room and wandered around. Seeing how big
and comfortable the room was, he looked envious.
If he’d known earlier that there was a single room, he…
Ah, forget it. Sleeping with the captain was pretty good too. After all, they
needed to cultivate tacit understanding in all aspects in order to play
doubles together.
The two of them went to eat together and ran into Yue Wenle and Ning
Zhehan.
Bai Cai asked, “How’s the buffet?”
Yue Wenle: “The chips are pretty good.”
Did you go over to eat a meal, or did you just go over to nibble on snacks?!
He went to look at Ning Zhehan.
Little Ning was relatively more reliable, “The food was very rich and
delicious!”
Bai Cai relaxed. His suitcase was a little small, and he hadn’t brought any
instant noodles. If the food wasn’t good, he wouldn’t have the strength to
play games.
Wei Xiao wasn’t interested in eating. He picked up a plate of watermelon

and sat down.
Bai Cai was speechless, “Is that all you’re eating?”
Wei Xiao: “Hunger keeps me focused.”
Bai Cai: “???”
Brother Cai often felt a sense of confusion because he was out of sync with
his teammates.
Wei Xiao bit into a piece of watermelon, “You don’t get it. A hungry
stomach can stimulate potential. In a bit, I’m going to go up and train with
the divine warrior.”
Bai Cai: “……………”

Wei Xiao spoke deeply, “As a top-laner, I can’t indulge myself with the
shadow thief. I must master all the top lane heroes so that I can be worthy
of our captain.”
Bai Cai pushed over the steak that was in front of him, “I think you’ll starve
to death before you catch up to the captain!”
Wei Xiao refused, “Old Bai, don’t harm me. After eating enough, laozi will
just want to go to sleep. It’ll influence how much strength I can exert.”
Bai Cai: “You just f*cking woke up!”
Wei Xiao: “Digesting food affects the brain!”
Bai Cai: “Stupid fool.”
Wei Xiao: “???”
“Did you just curse at me?”
“No.”
“You cursed me! You called me a stupid fool, Old Bai, you’re done for!”
Bai Cai stuffed a piece of steak into his mouth. He was about to end up tired
to death from dealing with this picky eater with his potty mouth who could
starve himself for the sake of playing games!
The actions between the two of them weren’t small. A certain someone
who’d been sleeping next to them slowly opened his eyes.
The members of the 3U team: “!”
Their captain woke up, but their vice-captain wasn’t there. What should
they do.
Wei Xiao had also noticed it. He asked without much sincerity, “Did we
wake you up?”
He was actually able to fall asleep at the dining table. Brother Sleep, did
you come here to eat, or did you come here to sleep?
Asleep opened his eyes and looked at Wei Xiao for a while.
Wei Xiao wasn’t Cong Yi and didn’t understand if he was trying to say
something or not.
Then, something happened that left the 3U team stunned!
Their captain spoke, and he spoke words that people could actually
understand!
Asleep: “You lost miserably yesterday.”
Wei Xiao: “???”
Asleep comforted him, “Don’t be sad. I’ll help you get revenge in the
doubles.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
After saying these two sentences, Asleep toppled over again.
Wei Xiao exploded, “Old Sleep, what do you mean? Are you looking down
on me? I may have lost the doubles, but I…”
Speaking of which, our Brother Xiao might defy the heavens, the earth, and
even the air, but he’d really never gone up against an immortal who could
provoke him and then go straight into a deep slumber!
At one o’clock in the afternoon, the winter training server came online.
In order to fight for points, everyone rushed in as soon as they could.
The competition committee likely had plans to keep the winter training
server for the future, and the server was quite well built.
They had copied the regular server for the most part, and the team hall was
exactly the same, but the player accounts for this server were all max
levelled, had all the heroes, and even had all the skins.
If ordinary players could see these accounts, their eyes might actually start
to glow.
They could pick any talent at will, and there were thousands of skins to
choose from. Not to mention the limited edition ones that hadn’t been up for
sale in a long time…
Even though they were professional players, they also found it quite
refreshing.
For ordinary players, character skins were nothing but a matter of

appearance. It didn’t affect their operations.
For professional players, there was a big difference. It wasn’t due to the
skins’ attribute bonuses, but because of ‘hand feel’.
Hand feel was something that could make a difference as big as the gap
between the heavens and the earth during a professional competition.
Why did people love to use the heroes they became famous with? Why did
people like to tie together certain contestants with certain heroes?
It was really not the same. Having that kind of godly pairing was just as if
the real person was entering the canyon and becoming one with the hero!
The difference between the winter training server and the official servers
was in the bulletin board.
The bulletin board for the official servers held notices regarding new heroes
and talents, update tips, official game notices, and so on.
The winter training server bulletin board was full of rules.
Wei Xiao glanced over it and quickly summed up the key points.
First, free matching was limited to single or doubles, and they couldn’t
queue together as three or five people.
Second, the free matches were divided into team competitions, doubles
matches, and individual matches, and each had their own professional
arena.
Third, the rules for points was that winning a match was worth three points,
while losing a match meant they lost three points. Having a negative point
count was possible, but if there weren’t any special circumstances, they
wouldn’t be banned from competing.
Fourth, the points were the same for all three competition modes.
Fifth, the total points would be calculated every day at 6PM. All the points
from every player in the team would be tallied up at that time.
Sixth, the starters of each team had to participate in the free matches for at
least three hours a day. If they played for less than three hours, then the
team would lose their qualifications for the rankings that day.
Seventh, fighting on behalf of others wasn’t allowed. If it was discovered,

the team would lose the qualifications to participate in training matches.
Chen Feng sent a message in the team group chat at almost the same time,
“Bai Cai, don’t slack off. Play for the full amount of time every day. It’s
fine to lose, since this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to familiarize
yourself with your opponents.”
The free matching rules were relatively fair.
Three points were given for winning, and three points were deducted for
losing. In order to avoid having teams ‘farm points’ internally, the rankings
were based on the total points of the five team starters.
Each team’s players were of different levels. In order to avoid having the
weaker players play less so as not to lose points, a minimum play time was
enforced.
In fact, these problems weren’t big ones. These simple constraints were
already enough. The purpose for those attending winter training was to
improve themselves, and they wouldn’t refuse to participate in the free
matches.
As Chen Feng had said, losing didn’t matter. This was a great opportunity
for the players to understand their opponents.
However, there was one thing that caused excitement amongst the players.
There was a public chat area in the main hall, and the chat box came with
an inbuilt language translator. Although the translations weren’t perfect, it
was still enough to understand the general idea.
“Why are the points for singles and doubles the same as team games?”
“That’s not fair! How can we win a doubles match against Kim Sung-hyun
and Li Heran? Can I win against Close in a singles match?”
“Isn’t that a chance for them to farm points?”
Someone immediately picked up the conversation topic, “You can choose

not to play singles or doubles. Nobody’s asking you to play.”
Another person kicked up a fuss, “Wake up, person above me. Singles and
doubles are part of the free matches. What does ‘free’ mean? Even the
mode is random!”
Indeed. This free matching in the winter training server was very ‘free’.
Those who queued on their own could end up in singles, doubles, or team
mode, and they had to play whatever game they were matched into.
Those who queued in pairs wouldn’t be put into a singles competition, but
they would be randomly allocated to either a doubles or team game.
So, it wasn’t as though the contestants could simply choose not to play!
Another person retorted, “So what? Everyone is relying on their own
strength. Losing just means you suck. Why blame the system for being
unfair?”
“Besides, there is only one great demon king. If you match up with him,
you’re just unlucky. What’s the point in being a coward?”
“Wait a minute… If it’s random matching, does that mean there’s a chance
to see Close against Marshal.”
“Holy shit! And Kim Sung-hyun!”
“Kim Sung-hyun will definitely double queue. What are you thinking?”
“Marshal is good too. How long has it been since he’s soloed?”
The information in the public screen scrolled by very quickly. Most people
felt that tying to make it to the top three was hopeless and were randomly
muddling along trying to score points.
Wei Xiao was unwilling to waste time. There was a total of five hours, and
even if the games ended quickly, that was still only seven or eight matches.
He needed to get started on scoring points right away!
Wei Xiao bravely pressed down on the match button…
In the FTW training room, Brother Cai called out passionately, “Begging
for a doubles partner! Come and score points happily with me!”
Ning Zhehan raised his hand, “I’ll join you!”
Brother Cai spoke mercilessly, “We might end up scoring negative points.”
Yue Wenle: “I want to queue on my own.”
It was obvious that queuing for the single mode was the most fun. Who
didn’t want to try participating in a singles game?
Brother Vegetable looked towards Wei Xiao, “Brother Xiao!”

Wei Xiao: “Not happening.”
Bai Cai: “What’s going on with all of you. Can’t you take along this old,
weak, sick and disabled person?!”
Wei Xiao hadn’t been matched up yet. He earnestly advised him, “Old Bai,
you’re already a fully mature vegetable. You should learn to take care of
yourself.”
Milk Dad Bai was angered, “Don’t ask me to heal you in the future!”
Wei Xiao was very calm, “We’ll talk about future matters later. We should
focus on the present.”
I’m looking at the f*cking present!
In a fit of anger, Bai Cai also clicked on the singles match button.
Wei Xiao was happy, “I’ve matched up with an opponent!”
Bai Cai harrumphed, then turned to find that he’d also been matched up.
And it was a damned singles match.
Holy shit… it couldn’t be.
They couldn’t see their opponents’ names when they entered the battle
interface.
Bai Cai silently recited a hundred times: It’s impossible, impossible. He and
Old Wei didn’t have this kind of dogshit luck that stretched over a thousand
miles.
And then… he heard Wei Xiao say, “This person actually banned the
shadow thief. I’m now Top-lane Wei and definitely won’t use the shadow
thief.”
Bai Cai looked at the shadow thief that he’d just sent up into the ban
position: It couldn’t be!
No way!
Banning the shadow thief was common practice. It didn’t have to mean that
he’d matched up with Wei Xiao.
Then, he heard Wei Xiao continue, “Who should I ban? There’s nothing I
want to ban. I’ll just ban the holy priest then!’
The holy priest wasn’t a talent that would be used in a singles match. Only
fools would ban it.
Bai Cai: “…F*ck!” He’d encountered a fool!
Wei Xiao stretched his head over to look at him, “What’s the problem?
Banning the holy priest is me taking it easy on the other side.”
The corners of Bai Cai’s mouth twitched.
It continued until Wei Xiao entered the game interface and saw the ID
FTW.White.
What kind of dogshit luck was this? He’d unexpectedly matched up with
Bai Cai in his first free match?!
And it was a singles match!
Wei Xiao was in a trance, “Is this retribution? Revenge on me for not doing
a double queue with the milk dad?” He was still dazed as he killed off Bai
Cai and sent him off.
Bai Cai: “To hell with your f*cking retribution. Who exactly is the one
suffering here!”
In the first set of games, FTW’s Wei Xiao gained three points, and FTW’s
Bai Cai lost three points.
FTW total score: 0.
With the miserable experience of the two of them as an example, Yue Wenle
who’d originally planned to single queue went to look at Ning Zhehan.
Ning Zhehan: “Brother Le!”
Yue Wenle nodded.
The two of them went to queue up together.
After struggling for ten minutes, Wei Xiao, who’d caused such a
problematic situation, was really unreconciled, “Come double queue!”
Bai Cai had just died six times, and his heart felt blocked and flustered,
“Couldn’t you have f*cking killed me a little less!”
Although he’d lost, couldn’t he have lost a little more decently!
The two of them went to double queue together.
Yue Wenle and Ning Zhehan were also in the doubles queue.
And then…
At two o’clock in the afternoon, the audience who were watching the live
broadcast for the winter training matches all exploded.
“Holy, look at FTW!”
“God, hahaha, what kind of dogshit luck does my FTW have?!”
“I’m about to f*cking die of laughter. In the first game, Quiet matched up
with God Bai in a singles match; in the second game, Quiet and Brother
Vegetable went to double queue and matched up with Yue Wenle and Ning
Zhehan!”
“FTW, how can you be so improper? It was agreed that you went to winter
training in order to train with the other 17 teams. Why are you fighting
amongst yourselves?!”
“It’s been 40 minutes. Pro already has 15 points. Our FTW…”
“It’s a huge mess. They’re all hammering themselves.”
When Chen Feng and Lu Feng arrived in the training room, the four cubs
were preparing for the next round.
He looked at the score…
Chen Feng fell silent.
Wei Xiao was really angry, “Old Bai, again. For better or worse, we’ve
been paired up and flying together for over two years. How can we fold up
our wings like this?!”
He’d just clicked on the match button when Lu Feng held down his hand.
Wei Xiao paused.
Lu Feng covered his hand, moved the mouse to cancel the matching
process, then pulled him out of the doubles team.
Wei Xiao: “???”
Chen Feng was about to die from anger. He really wished he could use the
documents in his hand to knock their small heads together, “Are you guys
stupid? Do you not know to take turns queueing?!”
The four little children: “…………………..”

Ch46 - The great demon king that
outsiders see
No wonder the captain cancelled his matching process as soon as he came

in.
Wei Xiao finally realized, “There are less than 100 people in the winter
training server!”
They were used to queueing for games on the official servers. With
hundreds of millions of players, the probability of encountering someone
like this was very low even in the top ranks.
However, it was different for the winter training server. There were a total
of 18 teams, and all of the starters together added up to only 90 people.
Even if some teams with substitutes (whose points wouldn’t count) also
participated, it would still only add up to around 100 people.
It was such a small number of people, and yet they’d dared to click the
match button at the same time. It was simply…
Coach Chen Feng: “I just left for a while, and you managed to waste two
games!”
The four little children: “……” They didn’t dare say anything.
Lu Feng sat down in front of his machine and adjusted the mouse buttons,
“It’s fine, it’s only been 40 minutes.”
Chen Feng: “There’s only a total of five hours!”
Lu Feng: “They didn’t lose points either.”

Mother Hen Chen was really angry, “… You’re f*cking indulging them!”
The four little ones didn’t even dare to breathe––
The great demon king outside was the great demon king that outsiders saw.
The great demon king inside the team was Queen Chen.
Although Lu Feng defended them, Chen Feng still pointed at the scoreboard
and scolded the four of them.
It had only been a short 40 minutes, but there was already a huge gap in the
scoreboard.
The first tier with Pro and L&P had already obtained 15 points. In other
words, they had all won their first rounds.
The teams in the second tier had 9 points. For example, 3U.
Seeing their brother team’s score, Chen Feng really hated iron for not being
steel even more, “Take a look at 3U. Why didn’t they hammer themselves
the way you did?!”
Asleep and Cong Yi had won in the doubles, scoring six points. 3U’s mid-
lane and top-lane had also gotten 6 points, while the bottom lane who’d
queued on his own had lost, losing three points.
FTW stood firmly in eighth place with its unique zero points.
Above it were positive scores, and below it were negative scores.
Only FTW was impartial and unconcerned, a big round duck egg zero
standing out from the crowd.
The competition committee was very tricky. They’d placed this damned
scoreboard in each team’s training room, making it so that they could see
the scores as soon as they looked up.
The other 18 teams were probably wondering, what was going on with
FTW? Hadn’t they started matching yet?
Then, when they looked at their records.
Oh, amazing.
It was a team of wolves who ate each other!
Chen Feng might be angry, but he was also reluctant to waste time. After
beating up the little fools, he started implementing a ‘strategy’.
Free matching looked random, but it actually needed to be well thought out.
For example, in this scoring system where winning scored three points and
losing deducted three, and the play level of the five players weren’t the
same, there would always be someone who gained points while others lost.
In order to obtain more points, one had to consider how to pair the players
up.
Free matches could only be played in teams of two or on their own.
For the sake of training and maximizing points, Bai Cai could join the
single queue.
It was meaningless for a support player to play on their own. Not to

mention, Bai Cai’s nature wasn’t aggressive, and he rarely went for the kill.
A solo vegetable could even make passersby curse at him.
Besides, rather than letting him go out on his own to give away points to the
other side, they might as well have him join the double queue.
How should they form the doubles team?
Chen Feng thought about it for a long time and finally decided, “Take
turns.”
Wei Xiao chuckled mischievously ,”Brother Cai, are you happy? Everyone
is taking turns with you.”
Bai Cai: “……” Shut up!
Chen Feng slapped the table in front of Little Lunatic Wei, “Behave.”
Wei Xiao sat up straight, “Yes, sir!”
Chen Feng was really convinced. Wei Xiao was the biggest troublemaker,
but the one who could coax people the best was also him!
“We’re a team. We have to queue up at staggered times.”
With that, he looked grumpily at the four little idiots.
The idiots bowed their heads and pretended to be quails.
Chen Feng continued, “It’ll be difficult to have the matches end at the same
time if we stagger the queue times, so this rotation will be calculated by
day. For example, if it’s Wei Xiao and Bai Cai today, they will queue
together for five hours.”
Wei Xiao raised his hand!
Chen Feng knew what he wanted to say, “Don’t worry. We’ll draw lots.
Whoever wins will double queue!”
Chen Feng finished explaining everything and asked, “Is there anything you
don’t understand?”
The four of them all shook their heads simultaneously.
Chen Feng took out his cell phone, “Come draw for Brother Cai.”
Wei Xiao was seated near the front. Chen Feng handed him his cell phone
first.
There was a simple lottery app open in the phone interface. Chen Feng had
adjusted the settings, and one of the four draw options was labelled with
Bai Cai’s name.
Wei Xiao rubbed his hands and murmured quietly, “Don’t be me… please
don’t be me…”
He still wanted to join the doubles queue with the captain and didn’t want to
drag along dead weight.
Bai Cai could hear him clearly, “I don’t f*cking want to double queue with
you either!”
Wei Xiao looked at Bai Cai, “I accept your golden words.”
He clicked on ‘draw’ and the page began to turn. Then…
The huge words ‘Bai Cai’ leapt up on the screen.
Wei Xiao: “Old Bai, you have a crow’s mouth!”
Bai Cai cried at Chen Feng, “Coach, look at how he’s acting. He definitely
won’t play with me seriously!”
Chen Feng was expressionless, “If you two end up with negative points, I’ll
deduct your salary!”
Bai Cai was shocked, “Deduct it by how much?!”
Chen Feng: “5000 per point.”
There definitely wouldn’t be a negative point situation. Every time they

lost, they would lose three points. That was 15,000 right there, and Brother
Cai, who took money as his life, would definitely go crazy!
Wei Xiaoxiao didn’t care. When it came to money…
How could Chen Feng not understand what he was thinking? Coach Chen
was someone who would adjust his teaching methods according to the
student. He looked at Wei Xiao, “You won’t be deducted money.”
Wei Xiao: “?”
Chen Feng: “If you lose points today, don’t even think about soloing with
Lu Feng for 15 days after we go back!”
Wei Xiao: “!!!”
“Bai Cai!” Wei Xiao was anxious now, “Be more serious when we play. If
you drag me down, laozi will fight you!”
Bai Cai was even more anxious, “If you cause me to be deducted 15,000,
I’ll f*cking take you down with me!”
Ning Zhehan & Yue Wenle: “……”
They wouldn’t say anything. They were going to be low-key people and
focus on saving up points.
So, that day’s lineup was decided.
Wei Xiao and Bai Cai queued together, Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle
queued together, and Lu Feng queued on his own.
This arrangement was actually very good. Wei Xiao could carry Bai Cai;
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle could get points as long as they didn’t run into
any old beasts; as for Lu Feng… let the other teams seek their own fortune!
Five hours a day. If they played the entire time, they could finish seven or
eight games.
There was an element of luck involved. If they were matched up for

individual matches, it could end in two or three minutes. If it was a doubles
game or a team game, it would definitely take longer, and the game time
averaged around 40 minutes.
However the risk involved in a singles match was higher. Those from each
team who dared to single queue were definitely not weak, and it was hard to
say what the winning rate would be like in their games.
On FTW’s side, they would only be able to play six or seven games even if
they played the entire time. In order to win more points, Wei Xiao and Bai
Cai first started the matching process.
They entered a game very quickly this time, matching into a five-man team
game.
Wei Xiao: “Old Bai, I’m going to play top-lane. Play steadily.”
Bai Cai’s brain hurt, “You’re f*cking screwing me over!”
It wasn’t that Wei Xiao didn’t play well in the top lane, but the top lane
position was the least involved with the support position in a team game.
One of them spent most of their time in the top lane, and one focused on
protecting the ADC. When it came to which positions were furthest apart
from each other, it would definitely be the top lane and bottom lane.
Lu Feng, who’d just entered the matching interface, glanced at Wei Xiao
when he heard his words.
Recently, Wei Xiao had been very focused on the divine warrior and would
practically insta-lock it when he entered the game.
There wasn’t anything Bai Cai could do about it, and he could only leave it
up to fate, “If my ADC isn’t worth healing, I’ll follow you…”
Having the support follow the top-laner could be said to be the worst
strategy out of all bad strategies.
In this game, the players they matched with weren’t anyone they knew. It
looked as though there were people from South Korea as well as Brazil and
the Latin Americas…
Regardless of whether they were familiar or not, hammering them dead was
all they had to do!
Five minutes into the start of the game, Wei Xiao killed the other side’s top-
lane on his own. Brother Cai wailed and howled, “Damn it, this shitty
marksman. Laozi’s control skill was perfect, yet he actually let the other
side slip away!”
Brother Cai’s worries weren’t unreasonable. This ADC seemed to be

playing in a daze. It was bad enough that he missed the soldiers, but the kill
that was sent right to his mouth was allowed to get away, too.
Thankfully, the ADC on the opposite side was also very bad. When Bai
Cai’s positioning wasn’t ideal, the other ADC didn’t take advantage of it; if
it had been Old Yue, he would’ve been sent up to heaven a long time ago.
Wei Xiao and Bai Cai were clearly playing together, but it felt like they
were playing two different games.
In the top lane, Wei Xiao pressured his opponent endlessly, and the other
side lost their first tower, then their second tower and completely collapsed.
In the bottom lane, it was an exchange between unskilled players. Bai Cai
was so anxious that he really wished he could steal his marksman’s arrows
and help him shoot the other side dead!
Fortunately, the advantage they’d gained in the top lane was too big. Their
teammates might be average players, but at the end of the day, they were
still professionals and could take advantage of opportunities presented to
them.
After they pulled ahead of their opponent by 8000 gold, they managed a
major victory in the group battle, pushing all the way to their opponent’s
resurrection crystal and winning the game.
Wei Xiao exited the game in a dominant position, and on Lu Feng’s side,
he’d also just finished a game.
On the scoreboard, FTW’s score finally moved.
Wei Xiao, Bai Cai, +6 points.
Lu Feng, +6 points.
Wei Xiao blinked, “In the time it took us to play one game, captain has
already finished two?”
Lu Feng: “Solo.”
He’d won two solo matches.
Wei Xiao was sour once again, all kinds of sour and jealous. He was jealous
of those who could solo with Lu Feng and jealous that Lu Feng could play
singles matches!
Ah, how unlucky was his hand for him to draw Ah Bai…
“Again!” Wei Xiao didn’t want to waste time.
Bai Cai clicked to start the queue.
Lu Feng was also waiting to enter a game. He took off his headset and
spoke to him, “Do you still want to play the divine warrior?”
Wei Xiao nodded, “I need to practice with it properly.”
How could a top-laner be considered a top-laner if they couldn’t play the

divine warrior well!
Lu Feng paused, “Why don’t you try playing jungler.”
Wei Xiao was surprised, “I’m a top-laner. How can I play jungler all day
long?”
The reason why Lu Feng and Chen Feng had arrived 40 minutes late was
because they’d held a short meeting after putting together the training plan.
––Regarding Wei Xiao’s position.
They would definitely have Wei Xiao play in the jungler position, but they
hadn’t yet decided on when this information would be made public.
The main reason was that Close switching positions was no small matter.
Once it was announced, everyone in FTW’s operations and PR departments
would have to be prepared. Otherwise, they would have endless internal and
external troubles.
Close switching to the top lane was something that fans couldn’t accept,
and the current starters of FTW might not be able to adapt to it so quickly
either.
A full four years. This team that took Close as their core had already gone
on for so long.
Everyone had already decided in their hearts that anything could change,
but Close as the jungler core could never change.
If it was changed, it would shake them to the core.
But dragging it on wasn’t a solution. This training camp was a good time. If
they could execute a perfect transformation at this time, they could
gradually run in the line-up during the National Championships after they
went home.
The regular season that went on for several months was enough time to
create a new FTW.
The playoffs, national finals, and even the global games would all be full of
hope.
Lu Feng had suggested saying it earlier, the earlier the better, while Ning
Zhehan was still not familiar with their existing playing methods.
Chen Feng, however, had suggested that they take it slowly.
After discussing it for a long time, Chen Feng persuaded Lu Feng with one
thing––
You have to give Wei Xiaosome time. Although that boy isn’t afraid of
heaven and earth, he’s never played in a real game. If you make him hold
up such a heavy pillar so soon after he’s joined, what will you do if it
crushes him?
Lu Feng knew that Wei Xiao wouldn’t collapse.
But…
It wasn’t a bad thing to give him some time to get used to it.
Although they’d decided, Lu Feng still wanted Wei Xiao to play the jungler
position more, which was why he’d spoken up now.
Bai Cai didn’t know about the matter of switching positions. What he cared
about was, “Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, I’m begging you, play a game as
the jungler, we’ll win more easily that way!”
The previous match had really been too difficult for him. Marksmen were
weak in the early stages, and the jungler hadn’t gone around to gank people.
He’d provided such perfect vision, yet they hadn’t been able to keep up
with his rhythm. What could Brother Cai do as a healer? He really wished
he could kill people with his staff!
Wei Xiao had just been about to say that he was now devoted to the top lane
and only loved the top lane…
Lu Feng added, “You can win faster and get more points.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Chen Feng was really impressed by a certain person. He held the title of the
great demon king, yet he indulged this child to death!
Coach Chen also gave him a boost, “You’ve already wasted 40 minutes.
Hurry up and accumulate points!”
Wei Xiao’s hands were also a little itchy. He asked tentatively, “Then, I’ll
play jungler?”
Bai Cai was in the first position for picks and had already helped him
snatch up his hero, “The shadow thief wasn’t banned, I’ll get it for you!”
Wei Xiao spoke reluctantly, “Fine, fine. It’s important to score more points
first.”
The divine warrior was fun to play, but the shadow thief was more
attractive!
Bai Cai was finally relieved, “Come and help out the bottom lane more
often.”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry.”
The difference between playing the jungler position and the top-lane was
that the top-laner was tied to their lane, while the jungler was a kind of
wandering position that specifically provided support to his teammates.
Although Bai Cai needed to protect the marksman, as long as he provided

good vision for the team, based on Wei Xiao’s instinct in grasping the
rhythm of the game, he easily could gank the other side until they exploded.
When they entered the game and saw their opponents, they didn’t know
who to blame for their bad luck.
The red side’s jungler was FTW.Quiet, support FTW.White
The blue side’s jungler was 3U.Asleep, support 3U.Congyi.
The great FTW had crashed games with their own teammates, and after
that, they turned around and crashed into their brother team.
The fans who were watching the live broadcast back in China were all
excited again.
“Hurry and switch to FTW’s third live studio!”
“Holy, it’s FTW vs 3U!”
“Wait a minute, why is Quiet playing jungler?”
“What are you flustered for? It’s hard to say who will match up with who in
the free matches. Maybe the team already has a top-laner.”
“Let’s bet, let’s bet, I’m thinking my Pajamas CP will win!”
“3U will definitely win this one. Asleep’s berserker thief and Cong Yi’s
light priest have a win rate of 80%.”
“FTW’s Quiet is very strong, but he hasn’t been in the team for long and
hasn’t played enough with his teammates. Can he do it?”
One of Brother Cai’s fans interjected, “You guys might not know.”
“The amount of time my God Bai has cooperated with him might actually
be more than with God Le.”
“Yes, yes, yes, our Xiao Cai CP has a long history!”
“Think in terms of an archaeological blockbuster. It has to be said that the

professor and God Cai have played together for three years…”
“Holy shit!” The scrolling comments exploded, “These two junglers are too
fierce!”
The game had just started, and the soldier lines had just met when Asleep
and Wei Xiao started fighting in the river that cut through the canyon.
It didn’t need to be said that Wei Xiao was a thorn, but the Asleep who
wasn’t sleeping was even more prickly.
Thorn against thorn.
It was exciting!
Chen Feng, who’d originally been standing behind Yue Wenle, went over to
stand behind Wei Xiao.
He only glanced at the scene, and his eyebrows rose.
Lu Feng’s eyes were really accurate.
Wei Xiao was born for this position.
He dared to fight, dared to charge in, and could grasp the timing. The most
difficult thing was that his momentum was able to inspire and raise up the
rest of his teammates!
Um……
The corner of Coach Chen’s mouth twitched––there was also a negative

effect.
Not only did Little Lunatic Wei drive his teammates to higher heights, he
also inspired his enemy. What was this!
Although Asleep was known for his ferocity, had he always been this wild?!
Ch47.1 - Quiet~ China's
sharpening stone
Asleep couldn’t be blamed for going so wild. In the hero selection interface,
he’d wanted to take the shadow thief, but the other side’s first position had
snatched it up, leaving him very unhappy.
When they entered the game…
He then saw the ID FTW.Quiet, and Sleep God was triggered into
exploding.
Shadow thief vs berserker thief. It represented the regret that had been left
behind last time he’d fought against Wei Xiao in the live broadcast.
At the time, Asleep had used the shadow thief and lost to Wei Xiao. Many
of his fans had called for Asleep to use the berserker thief to take back a
win.
And now, that opportunity had arrived!
There were some people in the scrolling comments who didn’t quite
understand, “Last time, Asleep lost to Quiet. Can he win this time?”
Someone immediately shared general knowledge, “Wake up! The berserker

thief can explode the heavens in 5v5, okay? The shadow thief can’t
compare to it at all!”
That’s right, this was the biggest difference between a shadow thief and a
berserker thief.
The shadow thief was a talent spec who could use a set of skills to kill
people across the heavens and the earth. The advantage of this kind of hero
was that it could deal tons of damage in an instant and kill the opponent’s c-
position, making it so that any group battle was already half won.
But the disadvantages were also very obvious. After using the set of skills,
they had to immediately slip away. If they didn’t manage to get away, they
were nothing more than a one hit wonder super soldier––useless.
The berserker thief wasn’t like that. It was a typical group battle hero and
could be used as a core DPS position. His passive ability ensured that he
could participate in continuous battles. As long as he killed one enemy, it
would be bad news for the opponent.
The berserker thief who was in a frenzy could only be described as adding
madness on top of madness.
Its skill cooldowns dropped sharply, its damage doubled, and it would even
have a defense bonus. It became the real daddy of the canyon in an instant!
In a group battle, the berserker thief could deal continuous damage for as
long as the fight lasted.
In a solo game, the shadow thief had the advantage, because one rotation of
his skills was enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, and a single
person couldn’t withstand the damage.
5v5 was the berserker thief’s world. This was especially the case when it
was Asleep, who was an old hand at it. He would definitely be able to enter
the berserk state and take off during the group battle.
When the two of them soloed, Wei Xiao, who could play out eight light arcs
with his shadow thief, won against Asleep.
Now, in a 5v5 team fight, Asleep’s berserker thief wasn’t the same
anymore!
There wasn’t much difference in the personal ability level of these two
players, so it was difficult to say what the outcome would be.
Asleep was lazy and sleepy in reality, and as long as he wasn’t in front of
the computer, he could be seen sleeping 99% of the time. The remaining 1%
was when he was on his way to sleep.
Yet it was such a Sleep God who could blow up the canyon in seconds as
soon as he entered the game.
It seemed that all of the strength he saved up in normal times was all
released into the Glory canyon and the heroes he manipulated.
The way he used this berserker thief made even Wei Xiao’s eyes brighten.
When it came to all the talents in Glory, Wei Xiao used Close as the
standard.
However, Close’s berserker thief was absolutely different from Asleep’s.
Even when he was using the berserker thief, Close still brought a heavy
pressure to the canyon, making people feel besieged and cautious, and they
couldn’t help being careful when they played.
Asleep was different. His play seemed to be full of loopholes, as though he

was exchanging a life for a life, and his style seemed to be similar to self-
destruction!
However, this was a trap. Anyone who tried to ‘sneak attack’ him would
instead be sending themselves into his arms and end up locked in by his
scythe!
The first real group fight between the two sides took place in the red side’s
bottom lane jungle area. The berserker thief stole into Wei Xiao’s jungle
area. Bai Cai noticed it and sent Wei Xiao a signal.
Wei Xiao had originally wanted to go and clear the upper lane’s jungle area,
but at this moment, he turned around and called Bai Cai and the marksman
over to block the berserker thief’s retreat.
Asleep only had his own support Cong Yi, and the two of them had
infiltrated in quite deep. He saw how Wei Xiao and Bai Cai wanted to come
attack them, and his instincts all came alert. A few seconds before Bai Cai
could use his W skill, he locked his sickle towards the dragon pit and
jumped backwards to avoid Wei Xiao’s attack!
He’d dodged away. Reasonably speaking, Cong Yi was done for. As a

support without much health and no damage, as soon as he was surrounded,
the only way out was death.
Cong Yi really deserved to be someone who cooperated with Asleep all

year round. He never planned to run. He used his Q skill and released his
ultimate move, perfectly locking in on Bai Cai, who was positioned behind
the marksman.
Asleep didn’t pause at all. The berserker thief’s black scythe flew over to
the red side’s marksman. Bai Cai hurriedly used his ultimate move, and the
marksman’s health went up and down like a roller coaster. Unfortunately,
there was no tacit understanding between the marksman and Bai Cai. In this
situation, he definitely shouldn’t run and just needed to stand still and deal
damage. Even if he died, there would still be Wei Xiao coming over to
finish off the kill.
However, the marksman backed off! Looking at his health bar that
fluctuated like a trampoline, he became scared!
This brief hesitation gave the berserker thief enough opportunity to take
away the marksman’s life with a series of moves.
Bai Cai’s healing was more of a continuous type, and there was a certain
interval between each heal. It was reasonable to say that this interval had
been minimized to the extreme, but unfortunately, Asleep was able to
snatch this opportunity to deal all the damage and take away the kill in the
moment when the marksman’s health wasn’t recovering!
By the time Wei Xiao arrived, all he saw was a berserker thief in a frenzy.
To hell with fighting.
Everyone who saw this scene thought this way.

They shouldn’t fight and should quickly withdraw in order to avoid having
a situation where a silly baby went to save the grandfather––sending heads
over one by one.
“Holy shit! Quiet is crazy!”
“He didn’t pull back! He’s too caught up in it, right!”
“Brother Cai doesn’t have any skills left, and his own side’s marksman has
already fallen. Faced with a frenzied berserker thief, what can Quiet do?”
“Haha, he can send his head over.”
Even Chen Feng frowned slightly, feeling that Wei Xiao’s move was
inappropriate.
Wei Xiao, who normally had a whole pile of trash words to say, was
currently unusually quiet, his face unprecedentedly calm and steady. He
didn’t retreat and advanced instead. He moved perfectly to avoid the
berserker thief’s blade, and at the same time, he moved forward, linking up
his moves and filling up the light arcs.
Chen Feng froze for a moment. He was…
The shadow thief released eight light arcs within the blink of an eye, and it
all smashed down on Cong Yi’s body!
He hadn’t tried to kill the berserker thief whose damage and defense had
been buffed up after the frenzy. What he aimed at was the light priest who’d
already taken a large amount of damage and whose health bar had already
fallen to one third!
Cong Yi fell to the ground, and the berserker thief rushed over.
Wei Xiao shouted into the headset, “Old Bai!”
Bai Cai might be stunned, but his operations weren’t slowed down at all. He
used the W skill and hit the berserker thief, and Wei Xiao withdrew from
the battlefield during the half a second that Asleep was controlled and
couldn’t move!
The scrolling comments exploded, “Holy shit, it’s a fight amongst

immortals!”
“He can even manage to send someone back to town like this, Quiet is too
fierce!”
“Their side losing their marksman in return for the opposing side’s support,
it’s really a loss.”
“Brother, sober up a little. This wasn’t a trade, it was a save!”
Indeed, having the shadow thief kill off Cong Yi after they’d lost their
marksman was enough to make up for most of their losses.
Although Asleep had still obtained a huge advantage in this wave, Wei Xiao
had already made use of the available opportunity, pushing to the extreme.
For example: Weaker junglers might have already started fighting with the
berserker thief at this point and finally ended up giving the other side a kill.
A relatively more normal jungler might have retreated and waited for
another opportunity.
It was only Wei Xiao, who’d chosen in that moment to make the decision to
strive for the team’s best interests!
The point was, he had even succeeded!
Chen Feng looked at Bai Cai.
Sure enough, this support of his who was even lazier than Asleep, had
finally gotten serious.
Chen Feng had never questioned Bai Cai’s ability. He was no worse than
any of the top level supports, and he was even expected to be able to reach
the tier of a god-level support.
However, this kid… had no ambition!
In the e-sports circle, not making mistakes was a mistake of its own.
Players that didn’t make mistakes weren’t perfect because they didn’t make
mistakes. Instead, it was because they stayed out of the way and didn’t need
to take the blame for anything.
Bai Cai was precisely this kind of ‘balanced’ player who didn’t make any
mistakes.
From the start of this group battle, the shadow thief and berserker thief had
become ‘crazy’ to the naked eye.
Their teammates weren’t players from first class teams, but they weren’t at
the casual player level either. They were inspired by their explosive fight
and played 200% of their strength in the effort to cooperate with them.
Asleep snatched away Wei Xiao’s advantage, but Wei Xiao instantly got
even.
Wei Xiao invaded Asleep’s jungle, and Asleep led Cong Yi to chase and
intercept.
It was a free match game, but it was incredibly fun to watch.
At one point, the scrolling comments couldn’t even speak anymore and
could only shout 66666.
Sure enough, watching games where the opponents were about even was
the most exciting; sure enough, games played without reservation were the
most exciting; sure enough, young passion burned in the most brilliant way!
In the final group fight that determined the outcome of the game, the red
side had the advantage.
Wei Xiao launched an ambush and killed the blue side’s top-laner.
It was a four against five situation, and it seemed to be a sure win.

However, 3U’s Cong Yi reversed the situation by using flash, followed by
his Q skill ultimate move. A wall slammed down from a distance and
locked in three people from the red team.
When Asleep’s scythe locked in on their mid-lane, Bai Cai’s heart thumped.
Wei Xiao: “Save your skills!”
Unfortunately, it was too late. Bai Cai used his ultimate move and sent a
wave of heals towards the mid-lane.
However, the mid-laner was too squishy and couldn’t be saved at all
beneath the blue side’s explosive damage, and the kill went to Asleep.
Now…
It was over.
Wei Xiao cut down the blue side’s core DPS, while Asleep was like a wolf
charging into a herd of sheep, tearing up the red team’s formation and
causing unilateral slaughter!
Bai Cai fell to the ground, and his expression was very ugly.
Wei Xiao barely managed to kill three of the blue side’s people, but finally,
he was toppled by Asleep and Cong Yi.
Defeat!
The red side lost.
xiin: oh dear~
Ch47.2 - Your opponents were too
crappy, right!
“Wonderful!”
“Amazing!”
“So much to look forward to! The national competition should hurry up and
start, I really want to watch them play in a regular game!”
“If they can fight like this in a free match, then won’t they slaughter until
their eyes are bloody in the official arena!?”
“Even though Quiet lost, he was so handsome ahhhhh, I’m in love with this
little lunatic!”
“Little lunatic? Say, he’s really quite impressive. This shadow thief is really
crazy enough!”
The situation in the live broadcast studio couldn’t be seen from the training
room. It was the official live broadcast, and there were countless channels
to watch. Everyone could watch the players they liked.
The scrolling comments only flew around in the live broadcast room, and it
couldn’t be seen from the game.
Bai Cai didn’t say anything.
Wei Xiao tsked, “This kid Asleep is really good.”
A year ago, he’d felt that he had boundless potential. Now, he was really
growing rapidly. It had only been one season, yet he was already so
terrifying.
Sure enough, the place that honed players the most was the professional
arena.
Chen Feng looked at Bai Cai. His lips moved, but he ultimately didn’t say
anything.
There hadn’t been much of a difference in strength between the two sides in
this game.
The three passers-by from the red and blue sides had all played well, and no
major problems could be found.
Wei Xiao and Asleep were very much equal, and neither of them was worse
than the other.
What had really determined victory or defeat was actually 3U’s vice-
captain, Cong Yi.
Cong Yi had landed a control skill at the critical moment, sending the red
side down the path towards death.
On the contrary, Bai Cai’s operations hadn’t been bad, and having the
support save the c-position mid-laner was a routine thing to do.
However, he’d missed the big picture.
Wei Xiao’s ‘save your skills’ had been spoken to him.
Unfortunately, the battlefield changed rapidly, and reminders given orally

could never be faster than instinct.
Bai Cai hadn’t saved his skills, resulting in a situation where their own side
was short a critical heal.
Saving the mid-lane was something that should be done, but in the situation
at that time, the mid-laner couldn’t have been saved no matter what.
If he’d saved his ultimate move, even if the berserker thief’s passive was
activated, the red side would still have had the chance to fight four against
four. As for Wei Xiao, who’d managed to remain standing until the very
end, if he’d had Bai Cai beside him to take damage and control the
opponents, it was hard to say what the outcome of the game would’ve been.
In the situation where everyone was evenly matched, even a small gap in
ability would be enlarged indefinitely.
This was the gap between Bai Cai and Cong Yi.
“Old Bai?”
Bai Cai came back to his senses.
Wei Xiao urged him, “Hurry up! We’ve become a duck egg zero again. Do
you want to be deducted or something.”
Bai Cai had been the one to set up the room, and he was the one who had to
click the matching button.
Bai Cai breathed in lightly and clicked to start matching.
Wei Xiao glanced at the scoreboard, “The captain already has 12 points!”
He asked Lu Feng, “Solo again?”
He was so jealous, so jealous, he was about to be so sour that he was going

to start emitting sour bubbles!
Lu Feng: “Doubles.”
The probability of encountering a doubles match when solo queueing

wasn’t low. Two people queueing on their own would be forced into
becoming teammates and playing in a doubles game together.
Wei Xiao: “The doubles finished so quickly!”
Wei Xiao understood, “Your opponents were too crappy, right!”

This so-called ‘Close can’t play doubles’ didn’t mean that Close couldn’t
win doubles.
As long as the opponents were crappy enough, Close didn’t need to

consider his teammate as a human being at all and could win the game in
minutes.
At this moment, FTW’s points were a little miserable.
Wei Xiao and Bai Cai were still where they’d started, Ning Zhehan and Yue
Wenle had also had one win and one loss, and there were only Close’s 12
points that showed up in the total score.
Wei Xiao’s competitive spirit burst out, “Old Bai, follow me in this match!”
Wei Xiao entered the game and took the berserker thief. He asked Bai Cai,
“Want to try the light priest?”
Cong Yi’s light priest flashed across Bai Cai’s mind, “Why not.”
Wei Xiao chuckled, “It’s hard to cooperate with the shadow thief. This
game, big brother will take you up to heaven.”
“Don’t mess around.” Bai Cai’s expression was clearly more relaxed than
before, “Laozi doesn’t want to have a negative score!”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry, if we end up with a negative score, our friendship
will be over!”
Chen Feng moved his gaze away and went to look at Ning Zhehan and Yue
Wenle.
Some things couldn’t be rushed. They could be fixed if they were

discovered.
Besides, there was still a Little Lunatic Wei.
In this match, Wei Xiao and Bai Cai didn’t match up with any ‘celebrities’.
The berserker thief was very suitable as a jungler core. As soon as their
teammates saw Wei Xiao and Bai Cai’s choices, they knew that their
support would follow the jungler, and the marksman picked a talent hero
with a high self-preservation ability.
At the start of the game, Wei Xiao successfully reached level 4 first.
Berserker thieves only obtained their passive ability once they had their
ultimate move. He went to support the bottom lane and instantly gained the
advantage for their team.
Because Quiet had been too brilliant in the previous match, many viewers
had switched to his channel to watch his fights. At this moment, they
watched as he took the berserker thief while Bai Cai played the light priest,
and were all laughing:
“FTW’s newcomer is really hard headed. He tries to get up again from

wherever he loses!”
“Not bad, not bad. Others would be scared after losing, but he actually
becomes inspired to overcome.”
“Say, this berserker thief is really good.”
“Aiya, look at our Brother Vegetable, this light priest isn’t any worse than
Cong Yi’s!”
“This wall was used well! Damn, it’s simply an exact copy of Asleep and
Cong Yi!”
“Using whatever they learn on the spot?! That’s really quick!”
Bai Cai and Wei Xiao won the game, and it was a straightforward and
relaxed win.
Wei Xiao turned his head to look at Bai Cai, “Brother Cai can really do it.”
Bai Cai: “Nonsense.”
Wei Xiao called out, “Coach!”
Chen Feng looked over.
Wei Xiao: “Brother Cai needs more intense stimulation. It’s better to change
the rules. If our total points are lower than the captain’s, we’ll deduct
money!”
Lu Feng was already at 15 points, while the two of them were at 6 points.
One point was 5,000, and nine points was…
Bai Cai exploded, “…Wei Xiao, f*ck your daddy!”
Coach Chen was too lazy to deal with these two brats.
It was another game. As soon as they entered the game, Wei Xiao was
happy, “Our luck is really good today!”
Bai Cai noticed the ID on the opposite side––L&P.Gary.
How the hell was this good!
What kind of stinky luck was this? They’d just saved up six points, but now
they were going to be defeated at L&P’s hands!
Bai Cai really hated duck eggs right now. He didn’t want to eat duck eggs
for half a year!
Wei Xiao greeted the opposite side, “Old G, where’s your captain!”
It was rare for Old G and Yuan Ze not to double queue.
Old G had noticed Wei Xiao a long time ago. His martian text bounced
around everywhere, “Only Weak chiknz double Q!”
The vast majority of teammates who originally didn’t understand Chinese

were even less able to understand this text.
Wei Xiao was kind enough to help Old G translate into English, “God G
said that only weak chickens double queue.”
Old G’s team had two groups of double queued players. Brother G’s
teammates instantly went, “………………”
Old G: “Quiet, ur plotting 2 kill me!”
Wei Xiao: “What are you thinking.”
Old G: “???”
Wei Xiao: “If I were plotting to kill you, I’d only start now.”
As he said so, he spoke to Bai Cai over the headset, “Old Bai, come over.
Our goal this game is to hammer Gary until he explodes!”
Speaking of which, Yuan Ze was actually solo queueing…
Close was also solo queueing…
These two people wouldn’t bump into each other, right?
Marshal and Close’s solo.
He kinda wanted to see it!
Of course, what Wei Xiao wanted to do now was to first beat Gary, who
was fighting on his own, into seclusion.
In just ten minutes, Old G was jumping around in agitation, “Quiet, you’re
done for!” He’d already switched back to English.
Wei Xiao was born to trash talk, “Come, come, come, let me experience
what it feels like to be done for.”
In this game, Old G’s luck was really bad. It was already miserable enough
that he had to queue on his own, but the teammates he encountered were
also reincarnations of vegetables. He couldn’t beat Wei Xiao no matter
what, but…
Gary: “You just wait. Our L&P’s points will definitely be in the top three.
Tonight, I’m going to pick out you guys for the training match!”
Beating him up in a two against one in a free match game didn’t count. If he
had the ability, then he should come up and fight in a training match!
Wei Xiao’s eyebrows went up in happiness when he heard this, “That’s

great. Hammering you into exploding also gets me a training match. What
great value!”
Gary: “………”
All of a sudden, Wei Xiaoxiao discovered a great way to ‘become rich’.
So what if their FTW’s total points weren’t enough to enter the top three?
As long as the teams in the top three were ridiculed until their aggro was
full, wouldn’t they take the initiative to come and fight them?
Wei Xiao, who’d originally just wanted to pick on Gary, became more
energetic.
There was a crackle as he used a full set of skills and sent Old G to heaven.
Wei Xiao: “Brother G, does it feel good?”
Gary: “Quiet, you’re dead ahhhhh!!!”
Wei Xiao blew him a kiss, “Seeing how I’ve made you feel so good, don’t
let me down tonight.”
The Chinese fans who were watching the match: “……………”
Although, even though…
It really did feel great!

This shameless cub was simply like a breath of fresh air in the China
competition zone!
He made people feel inexplicably refreshed and comfortable. What was up

with that!
Ch48 - God G, please let me have
the hammering I want
Wei Xiao really didn’t show any mercy at all.
The red side already had an advantage in hero selection and had snatched
up the berserker thief. Gary, who’d been left with the relatively clumsy
power thief, was really suffering a loss.
Adding on his teammate’s daydreaming operations, his jungle area became

Wei Xiao’s and Bai Cai’s back garden in the early stages. They could go in
at will, take away his economy, and even take away Old G’s head while
they were at it. They were as arrogant as they could possibly be.
Once this economic snowball picked up speed, there was no way to stop the
car at all.
Wei Xiao had started to get a feel for the berserker thief, and Bai Cai’s light
priest was also played very well. These two were also old teammates, and
their cooperation allowed them to play without any restrictions.
No matter how amazing Gary was, it was really difficult for him to make a
turnaround while being pressured like this.
It was still okay before he’d thrown down the gauntlet, but now, he’d
managed to stimulate Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao had already wanted to hammer him, but now he had even more
reason to do so.
20 minutes later, Bai Cai, who’d been waiting to catch Gary in the dragon
pit, smashed down a wall. Old G’s eyes were quick, and his hands were
fast, but the berserker thief’s scythe was even faster. In the moment when
he was locked in… Old G could hear the devil whispering in his ear, “Does
it feel great?”
You have been killed!
“Fuck!”
In the L&P training room, Gary was jumping around in fury.
The coach looked at him, “What’s the matter?”
Gary was going crazy from anger, “How are we ranked!”
Coach: “Second.”
Pro was first.
Gary: “Let’s make an appointment with FTW for tonight’s training match!”
Yuan Ze, who was beside him, glanced over.
The coach analyzed calmly, “It’s not very appropriate. FTW’s score isn’t
worth us…”
Gary raged, “Laozi would pick them even if their score was zero!”
Damn it, if he couldn’t vent this anger, he wouldn’t sleep at all tonight!
Fortunately, Wei Xiao couldn’t hear his words. If he could hear them…
He would definitely insist on thanking him and then accompanying him to

‘feel good enough to go to heaven’.
This match was a very satisfying one.
After winning the game, Wei Xiao commented, “Old G’s power thief is no
good.”
Chen Feng looked over their game, “He’s never been good at blue collar
junglers.”
The so-called blue collar jungler referred to players like Pro’s jungler Park
Guizhi.
What he used was a functional talent spec. He didn’t take the initiative to
build up the rhythm of the game, and instead did his best to give all his
economy to their core, Kim Sung-hyun. He stabilized the pace of the game
in the early stage, and in the later stages, as long as he could take down the
other side’s c-position, Pro would’ve won the majority of the game.
L&P was a team that focused on the jungler as their core, and Gary was
their core damage dealer. Like Close, most of his daily training was spent
on high damage talents like the berserker thief, shadow thief, and death
knight.
Talents like the power thief that were focused more on function were not his
strong point.
That was why Wei Xiao could pressure and hammer him from the
beginning to end. This was what made Gary so unwilling. If he’d been able
to take a berserker thief, he would’ve been able to smear Wei Xiao and Bai
Cai into the ground.
Wei Xiao didn’t care about these things. He really wished Gary would come
to hammer him that night.
If he had Gary’s contact information, he would probably even send a

message: God G, please let me experience the hammering that I asked for.
These two games went quite smoothly for Wei Xiao and Bai Cai. They
obtained 12 points in one fell swoop, and FTW’s points allowed them to
climb up from sixth to fifth, which was actually quite difficult to achieve.
Everyone was involved in their matches, so Bai Cai clicked to continue

matching.
Wei Xiao was looking forward to it, “Bai Cai, you can do it. Let’s see who
you manage to draw.”
Bai Cai’s hand trembled, and he mumbled, “Give me a weak opponent, let
laozi have an easy win…”
His prayers were answered. Of the other three teammates in their team, two
of them were from the team ranked second from the bottom, and one was
from the team at third from the bottom.
Wei Xiao: “You’re pretty good.”
Bai Cai: “………………………………”
He wanted weak opponents, not weak chickens on his side who could only
peck at rice!
Wei Xiao had a bad habit. When he used a hero, he would keep using it
after he became used to it.
Others might become tired or bored of using the same one and want to
switch to a new hero, but Wei Xiao was especially persistent and could
continue for a particularly long time. He wouldn’t give up until he had
engraved the usage of the hero into his muscles and bones.
This was a problem that all Glory coaches wished their players could have.
How wonderful was it?!
They wouldn’t have to force the players to train!
The most famously picky and delicate player in the China competition zone
needed to be mentioned––Eurostar.
His hero pool was as deep as the sea, and there was no shooter he couldn’t
use. Oh, before he was sent into seclusion by the Wei Xiao hammer, he
could also use top lane heroes, but the heroes that he retained muscle
memory for were rare.
The coach wanted him to train more, but he spent his days attacking
newbies or surfing the internet, and could even use the ‘theoretical
knowledge’ that he’d stealthily picked up from their learning tyrant captain
in order to battle it out with their coach.
The coach was in a daze when he heard it and went to ask Captain Fu.
Fu Li sneered and wrote out a short paper very quickly, tossing it over to
Eurostar, “Get it?”
Eurostar had horrible grades at school. All of his skill points had been put
into gaming. How could he understand what was what?
Fu Li: “If you don’t understand, I’ll teach you.”
Eurostar: “!”
Fu Li: “Or, you can go and practice the fire hunter?”
Eurostar bailed superfast, suppressing his tears as he used the fire hunter to
rank for a full day and night.
On the other hand, Wei Xiao didn’t need to be forced. When he was
inspired, he could play so much his teammates wanted to throw up!
For example, Bai Cai. Originally, he hadn’t been very good at the light
priest. By now, he’d already started to realize that he would have to queue
with Wei Xiao and continue on the whole way with it…
Brother Vegetable’s muscle memory didn’t have to be actively generated. It

was all forced!
It was enough that their teammates were crappy in this game, but their
opponents were god level strong.
Wei Xiao saw their IDs and smiled so hard his eyes curved––Pro’s Kim
Sung-hyun.
Bai Cai: “…F*ck!” He was going to go wash his hands; his hands were too
unlucky!
Wei Xiao was already nagging, “God Kim, you’re solo queueing?”
Indeed, Kim Sung-hyun, who was practically a conjoined twin with Li

Heran, was actually queueing on his own.
Could it be that it was faster to obtain points when they queued

individually?
Why were all the teams in the top three single queueing.
Oh…
3U, who was third, had been double queueing just now.
Wei Xiao’s thoughts started to wander again.
Would the single queueing Kim Sung-hyun run into Close?
In fact, Wei Xiao was very curious.
How could a pure marksman solo take down the heavens and the earth?
Although he’d seen Lu Feng’s marksman before, Wei Xiao was very certain
that Kim Sung-hyun’s style was different from his.
So, how did this peak level marksman, who stood in the Temple of Glory,
solo?
Kim Sung-hyun was also quite surprised, “Where’s your captain?”
Wei Xiao: “He’s solo queueing.”
Wei Xiao’s typed words couldn’t hide his jealousy, “He just started. Let’s
finish this game quickly. Maybe you can match up with him in the next
game.”
Wei Xiao was suddenly inspired, “Did you choose to solo queue just so that
you could solo with my captain?”
Kim Sung-hyun replied immediately, “How could that be. I’m not Shi, why
would I want to solo with him?”
Wei Xiao: “???”
Kim Sung-hyun translated for him, “Shi is Marshal.”
Bai Cai, who was the only other person who could understand Chinese,
“…………”
Wei Xiao praised, “This nickname… is wonderful.”
In the L&P training room, Yuan Ze, who was currently solo queueing,
sneezed.
Although Wei Xiao and Kim Sung-hyun had similar thoughts and could talk
together quite happily, there was no emotional leeway when it came to the
actual game.
Kim Sung-hyun: “Targeting me?”
Wei Xiao sent a smiley face and was very polite, “Yes.”
Kim Sung-hyun was amused, “Stinky kid.”
Kim Sung-hyun was obviously different from Old G. If nothing else, his
luck was enough to hang the other party.
Old G’s power thief was really useless, but Kim Sung-hyun’s storm hunter
was amazing enough to soar.
As a god level ADC, there were no marksman talents that Kim Sung-hyun
couldn’t use.
From the frost hunter that stood still to cause damage to the storm hunter
that moved all over the field, he could use all of them and use them
however he liked.
Wei Xiao understood from their first encounter why all four players from
the Team of Gods were so good at soloing.
This storm hunter was like a butterfly flying around the canyon. It was so
flexible and nimble that it couldn’t be touched at all!
Wei Xiao had watched Kim Sung-hyun’s doubles matches before.
When playing doubles, because there was Li Heran, Kim Sung-hyun mostly
played like a standing damage dealer marksman.
Firstly, he trusted Lin Heran and knew that his captain could provide him
with enough opportunities to deal damage. Secondly, marksmen who could
stand there and shoot could deal terrible damage in the later stages;
regardless of who they faced, they were all nothing beneath his arrows.
Kim Sung-hyun naturally wouldn’t choose marksman heroes that needed

protection when he queued on his own.
Other support players and Li Heran’s support were like two different beasts
altogether.
Bai Cai looked at Kim Sung-hyun’s dazzling operations and rolled his eyes
in his heart.
Damn it…
Wei Xiaoxiao would definitely let it get to his head again!
Was there any cure for his problem where he gained pleasure from facing
the strong?!
Unfortunately, their team was very useless. Between the top lane, middle
lane, and marksman, all three lanes collapsed. Wei Xiao tried to gank Kim
Sung-hyun like crazy but was only able to barely kill him once.
And they had only managed to kill him when Wei Xiao brought in Bai Cai,
and they had fought two against one.
Oh, the marksman on Wei Xiao’s side had long been killed by God Kim’s
skills and was lying on the floor watching them fight.
Kim Sung-hyun toppled to the ground and typed, “Not bad.”
Although it was two against one, he’d dodged Bai Cai’s control skill a long
time ago. Wei Xiao was still able to move around his raindrops and use a set
of skills to take his life. It was really something.
Wei Xiao didn’t waste time typing. He rushed into the opposite side’s jungle
area and after searching and waiting, managed to find the Kim Sung-hyun
who’d just resurrected.
Kim Sung-hyun’s support was also useless. Not only did he not follow the
marksman, he wasn’t even able to provide vision.
From Kim Sung-hyun’s point of view, the little map looked empty and
seemed to be quite safe.
Wei Xiao held his breath and waited for the storm hunter to arrive.
The storm hunter really did arrive, coming close to the patch of grass near
the bottom lane.
“Old Bai!”
Bai Cai immediately tossed out his ultimate move…
Wei Xiao’s scythe moved at the same time, making the audience hold their
breath in anticipation.
“Damn, it can’t be avoided. Even if it’s God Kim…”

“Escaped!”
“This storm hunter…”
“It’s so beautiful. The storm hunter can really step on the rain and fly!”
Indeed. Kim Sung-hyun had gotten close to the grass, but he hadn’t relaxed
his vigilance.
When Bai Cai released his ultimate move, the storm hunter’s raindrops had
already flown out all over the screen. With a set of continuous moves that
tested the speed of his hands to the extreme, he avoided Wei Xiao’s sickle
and simultaneously smashed down all his damage onto the berserker thief.
Bai Cai sucked in a breath, “Strong!”
This was a member of the Team of Gods just like Close!
This strength was too terrifying!
Wei Xiao’s eyes didn’t change. When faced with such an amazing storm
hunter, he wasn’t flustered at all. On the contrary, he was calmer and
steadier than usual.
The storm hunter landed.
The berserker thief, who was at critical health, waved his scythe and locked
onto the storm hunter.
Wei Xiao: “Brother Cai!”
Bai Cai abruptly came back to his senses. Although the shield was a little
late, it still made it in time.
Wei Xiao dashed over, and the storm hunter was instantly left with only half
his health.
Kim Sung-hyun wasn’t an easy target. Wei Xiao’s ability to seize

opportunities had surprised him, but the battlefield changed quickly, so he
never underestimated anyone and never took things lightly.
So…
After the cooldown ended, the storm hunter once again stepped on the rain.
A rain arrow shot through the raindrops and stabbed the berserker thief.
The light priest’s shield burst instantly, and the sliver of blood left on the
berserker thief wasn’t enough to support him.
However, in the moment when he fell to the ground, Wei Xiao moved
forward again and took the storm hunter down with him.
They died together!
Bai Cai, who was still alive, “………”
If they were to go over the replay of this game, his salary for this entire
month would be deducted.
In this fight against Kim Sung-hyun, he was thoroughly crappy!
Losing without fighting. How could he make such a low-level mistake?!
Two years ago, he’d worked desperately to keep up with Wei Xiao. Now,
after he’d been a professional player for two years, he’d still fallen behind?
Bai Cai’s arms felt numb, and he had goosebumps all over.
They lost the game.
Wei Xiao leaned back in his chair and sighed, “Amazing.”
He was utterly convinced of this defeat.
The Team of Gods was really tough.
If he wanted to catch up to them, he would need to continue working hard!

However, he would definitely catch up to them!
Wei Xiao turned to look at Bai Cai, “What’s wrong?”
Wei Xiao was surprised, “Going into seclusion? It’s not that bad, Kim
Sung-hyun is indeed very strong, but he died at our hands three times.”
Bai Cai choked: It was at your hands that he had died three times.
Wei Xiao patted him on the shoulder, “Next time we play against a storm
hunter, we’ll take the holy priest. We’ll bounce him around. Who told him
to fly, fly, fly? Does he really think he’s a butterfly?”
Can you stop spoiling the atmosphere!
Damn it, he was just reflecting on himself!
Wei Xiao was just about to tell him to hurry up and start the next game
when he heard Chen Feng say, “So coincidental?”
Wei Xiao was close to Lu Feng. He leaned his head over, “Old Dog Yuan!”
Yes, Lu Feng had entered a doubles match from his solo queue. For better
or worse, Yuan Ze, who was also solo queueing, had been matched up with
him as his teammate.
L&P training room.
Gary was currently nursing his grudge, “What? Did you also match up with
Little Lunatic Q?”
He stuck his head over, “Holy shit!”

Yuan Ze had gone into the solo queue with some ideas in mind…
For example, if he ended up having to solo with Lu Feng because the

situation forced him to…
This was something he was helpless about and couldn’t be considered a

default on their agreement (let alone, after having it happen once, it
wouldn’t matter if it happened again).
He’d never thought that luck would be such a dog. He’d indeed encountered
Lu Feng, but it was as teammates.
Yuan Ze had vowed that he would never play solo against Lu Feng.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to solo with him, but because he felt sorry for
Close after everything that had happened back then.
Yuan Ze had never vowed not to play doubles with Close.
However, he really didn’t want to play doubles with him from the very
bottom of his heart.
The reason?
It was shameful if he couldn’t keep up, and even more shameful if he could.
Old Dog Yuan would feel ashamed either way!
Compared to everyone else’s surprise, Lu Feng was calm, “What are you
playing with?”
He was asking Yuan Ze.
Yuan Ze was just about to say divine warrior when he saw that Lu Feng had
already locked in the divine warrior for himself.
Yuan Ze: “???”
Lu Feng: “Is divine warrior the only thing you can play?”
He took the death knight.
If matching with Close was already a nightmare, then when he saw who
their opponents were, Yuan Ze was thoroughly destroyed.
Pro.Kim Sung-hyun, Pro.Li Heran.
Wei Xiao didn’t have time to care about his own matching. He was in a
state of shock, “Fate is really a wonderful thing.”
Ch49.1 - You guys met in the last
game?
The canyon had four people in it, but Yuan Ze wasn’t the only one there
who wanted to die. Kim Sung-hyun was also stunned silly.
Fate was really a strange and wonderful thing.
The fans in the South Korean competition zone who were watching their
own oppa’s matches were already high with excitement.
In the last match, Kim Sung-hyun had solo queued and gone up against Wei
Xiao. In this match, he also hadn’t immediately gone to form a double
queue with Li Heran. He’d continued with his single queue, and Li Heran
had also been in the single queue.
Li Heran waited for a long time for a game. Kim Sung-hyun had just
finished a match with Wei Xiao and was a little overeager, so he hadn’t
thought twice before clicking the match button.
Who could’ve known that they would both enter a game at the same time.
On the FTW side, the teammates who queued at the same time ended up as
opponents against each other.
It was different for Pro. The Koi CP was worthy of its reputation, and two
single queued teammates could end up being paired up as teammates by the
system.
Indeed…
In this doubles match, all four people in the canyon had been in the singles
queue. Yet as a result, they were all matched together by the system and
entered a doubles game.
This was the magic that could happen in the single queue. Opponents,
teammates, forced marriage… anything was possible!
Fans in the South Korean competition zone had already noticed Kim Sung-
hyun and Li Heran’s ‘marriage line-up despite the distance between them’.
They had long since covered the scrolling comments with their excitement.
At this time, when they noticed their opponents, they grew even happier.
Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road!
All the members of the Team of Gods in the winter training’s group A
ended up gathered together in this arrangement. It was really…
Absolutely crazy (beautifully done)!
What made it even better was that Kim Sung-hyun had used the storm
hunter in the previous round and been pressured and suppressed by the
berserker thief and light priest. His heart was stuffed full of anger.
Although he’d won the game, he was very unhappy about being targeted
like this by someone from the younger generation.
God Kim’s evil taste was well known. If he was ever targeted by a jungler,
he would definitely have to abuse them back.
How did he abuse them? He would first start by recalling the details of the
jungler’s operations.
So, in Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran’s hero selection interface (they were
unable to see their opponents at this time), Kim Sung-hyun didn’t hesitate at
all before choosing the berserker thief.
Li Heran hadn’t played with him in the previous match, but he could still
guess the reason for it, “Which berserker thief?”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Quiet.”

Li Heran: “FTW’s new top-lane?”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Yes.”
Li Heran: “You lost?”
Kim Sung-hyun: “How could that be!”
Although he hadn’t lost, Kim Sung-hyun suspected that he would die in the
hands of this berserker thief one day. That was why he wanted to preempt
him and figure out how Wei Xiao played, so that he could abuse him into
crying and wailing during an official match.
Li Heran casually took the light priest.
The compatibility between the light priest and berserker thief was
extremely high.
So, after they entered the game, Kim Sung-hyun, who used marksman all
year long, had taken the berserker thief.
He didn’t think it was a big deal. Looking at the entire Group A, if he and
Li Heran were teamed up together, there was nobody they had to worry
about in a doubles game.
Why bully children by using a marksman? It was pretty good to just use a
berserker thief.
And then…
Kim Sung-hyun actually wanted to die, “Brother, are my eyes blurred?”
Old Dog Yuan and Close?
What kind of nightmare combination was this?
His vision wasn’t blurry. He must have gone blind!
Kim Sung-hyun abruptly stood up, “Old Park, come and play a round of
berserker thief!”
Pro’s coach pushed him back into his seat, “Play properly.”
Those who often walked near the river would have wet shoes; Kim Sung-
hyun had really never thought that he would ‘fear’ a doubles game!
Wei Xiao’s eyes were sharp, “God Kim took the berserker thief, hey, it
seemed that my berserker thief made him really happy in the last game.”
Lu Feng stared at the screen and cleared his soldiers, “You guys met in the
last game?”
Wei Xiao: “Yes, God Kim is single queuing. I took very good care of him.”
Lu Feng: “Did you win?”
Wei Xiao was annoyed, “We lost. His storm hunter is too good at flying.”
Lu Feng: “Death count?”
Wei Xiao: “Three times.”
Lu Feng: “I’m asking how many times you died.”
“Me? Ah,” Wei Xiao was embarrassed, “Four times.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao was curious about why the captain would ask about this, but then
he saw the divine warrior on the screen stack himself up with several layers
of buffs. The spear was inserted into the ground outside the enemy’s tower,
and Lu Feng spoke a single word to Yuan Ze, “Go.”
Yuan Ze, who’d heard the dialogue between Lu Feng and Wei Xiao over his
headset, “……”
Old Kim, you’re on your own!
The death knight was also a top-lane hero, but it had explosive DPS and
was a type of talent that Yuan Ze often used.
The death knight and the divine warrior could be considered as the best
combination for top-laners in a doubles game.
The divine warrior tended more towards support, while the death knight
could provide the DPS. Although there were many combinations that had a
natural advantage over this pairing, it wasn’t hard for them to deal with a
berserker thief like Kim Sung-hyun.
No matter how fierce of a doubles competition championship pair they

were, he’d taken a hero that he wasn’t strong at and could only wait to lose.
Let alone, they also had a top jungler, Close, who knew how to abuse a
berserker thief even with his eyes closed.
Yuan Ze charged into the tower and landed a set of skills on Kim Sung-
hyun.
Kim Sung-hyun cursed, “Stinky thing!”
Although he wasn’t familiar with the berserker thief, a professional player’s

game consciousness was deeply ingrained. With Li Heran’s protection, Kim
Sung-hyun wasn’t so bad that he would be killed beneath his own tower at
the start of the game.
That was what he thought…
And his movements had been quite good.
He should be able to maintain his little life.
The divine warrior’s spear that was left outside the tower suddenly moved.
As a functional top-lane talent spec, the divine warrior exchanged a portion
of his DPS in return for a long-distance, ranged attack.
From the moment the spear landed, the divine warrior could initiate an
ultimate move.
Kim Sung-hyun’s nerves were stretched taut, “Not good!”
Years of experience with getting cut down had long nurtured his powerful
instincts.
The spear split into three, passing through Yuan Ze’s body and stabbing
straight at Kim Sung-hyun.
First Blood!
Kim Sung-hyun toppled over.
The live broadcast channel was going crazy.
“What a handsome divine warrior!”
“Daddy Close is online, teaching me how to play the divine warrior!”
“Awesome! This ultimate move’s timing wasn’t off at all. It was completely
accurate, and the key point is that he’d accurately predicted the berserker
thief’s position.”
“I can understand it, but I can’t do it. Bye bye.”
“About that… did you notice that the divine warrior’s ultimate move passed
through God Yuan and charged at God Kim? It seemed like it was one spear
that shot through both people.”
“…………”
“……”
Inside the canyon, a hero’s abilities wouldn’t cause direct direct damage to
its teammates and would only travel straight through.
Yuan Ze was shot by the divine warrior’s spear and didn’t lose a single bit
of health, but as he sat there in front of the computer…
He could feel Little Close’s killing intent.
Cough……
Old Dog Yuan’s heart was hollow.
The game was half over. Kim Sung-hyun had died four times, no more, no
less.
These four kills had all been taken by Lu Feng.
Yuan Ze tsked and said, “How indulgent.”
Close was clearly targeting Kim Sung-hyun for revenge, getting back at him
for killing Quiet four times.
Lu Feng was wearing a headset, and the people beside him couldn’t hear
Yuan Ze’s words.
Yuan Ze realized that the words he’d said couldn’t be heard by anyone else,
so he typed instead, “Your divine warrior is pretty good.”
Lu Feng replied coolly, “Mm.”
Wei Xiao, who was sitting to the side, saw this and spoke loudly, “Stronger
than yours!”
Yuan Ze: “……” This little bastard!
Yuan Ze continued to type, “Aren’t you going to go queue? What are you
looking over here for?”
Wei Xiao was afraid that Yuan Ze wouldn’t be able to hear him. He came
closer to Lu Feng, and practically stuck himself up against Lu Feng’s cheek
to speak into his headset, “I’m following the captain to learn how to play
the divine warrior.” His voice was very proud, and he didn’t hide his
flamboyant behavior at all.
Lu Feng’s fingertips trembled, but he didn’t even blink as he blocked Yuan

Ze’s words.
Glory had a system that allowed users to block messages. Sometimes, when
players encountered mouth cannon kings, they could directly and
unilaterally block their messages so that they were out of sight, out of mind.
Of course this blocking was equivalent to shielding. Lu Feng couldn’t see

Yuan Ze’s words, but that didn’t mean that Yuan Ze wasn’t still talking.
Yuan Ze typed, “How about you come to L&P and learn from me.”
Old Dog Yuan was teasing little children in order to balance his mentality,
“When big brother started playing the divine warrior, your captain wasn’t
even as old as you are now.”
His keyboard clacked as he typed out a whole bunch, but there was no
action from Wei Xiao on the other side. Yuan Ze clicked open the economic
stats panel and took a look…
Oh, he’d been blocked by Close.
Ummm.
Ch49.2 - Our hard work paid off!
Those who were watching the battle stream could see what Yuan Ze had
said.
The fans were laughing so hard they were almost cramping up!
They didn’t know what had been said on the headsets of both sides, but they
could see Yuan Ze’s continuous trash talk.
How funny was this scene?
Later, someone made a clip and put it up on a certain media station,

attracting a screen full of ‘hahahahahahaha’.
The title of the clip video was called––
How about you come to L&P and learn how to be a sand sculpture.
Lu Feng’s calm and understated block added a rich and colorful segment to
Yuan Ze’s black history.
But this all happened later.
The world war between the Team of Gods wasn’t yet over.
Lu Feng: “Are you fighting or not?”
Yuan Ze’s heart was tense, “Fighting.”
Lu Feng: “Oh.”
Yuan Ze, who understood him very well, just had to open his mouth and
ask, “If I don’t want to fight…”
Lu Feng: “Then I won’t treat you as a person.”
Yuan Ze: “… F*ck!”
Sure enough!
In a doubles match, Close could directly crush the opposite side in a one
against two situation if the opposing team wasn’t particularly strong.
How could he fight one against two?
It was by not treating his teammate as a person.
Yuan Ze thought to himself: You’re f*cking already not treating me like a

human right now, okay!
On the other hand, his fighting spirit was rising up. Back then, he hadn’t
been able to keep up with this stinky kid. How could he be unable to keep
up with him now?
The current him often double queued with Old G, and had long adapted to
cooperating with thieves.
However…
Today’s Close had taken the divine warrior, and he himself was the damage
dealer.
This realization stunned Yuan Ze for a moment.
In the second half, after Lu Feng killed Kim Sung-hyun four times, the
situation in the game began to change.
The previous divine warrior had been played very much according to Lu
Feng’s style. It was oppressive and murderous, like a cheetah hunting down
its prey.
It waited for the right opportunity to move and killed with every hit.
It was indeed the great demon king!
But at this time, the divine warrior began to actually resemble a divine
warrior.
The spear was no longer used to pierce enemies. Instead, it was used to
protect his teammates.
The terrible pressure that had covered half of the enemy’s side of the
canyon and pushed the other side into a narrow corner dissipated. Instead, it
covered their own side of the canyon and became a powerful ‘shield’ that
had no dead corners.
Yuan Ze was shocked. After he killed off the berserker thief with ease, he
finally realized––
Close had changed.
The tough young man, who’d once been a sharp blade that stabbed straight
at the enemy, had grown up.
The lightning and thunder had faded, and the sky was blue and clear.
Vast, gentle, and even stronger than before.
Four years ago, the Yuan Ze who’d only played for two years hadn’t
understood how to cooperate with the youngest member of their team.
The 17 year old youth had been like a sword, and he had been even less
able to understand how to pull back.
Then, they had left.
They’d left Close to prop up the collapsed FTW on his own.
Time and a thorny path had settled into his temperament, reforming him
into the Lu Feng in front of Yuan Ze now.
It had been past one o’clock in the morning when Kim Sung-hyun’s
message had arrived and stimulated Yuan Ze.
Kim Sung-hyun said, “… I’m going to sign up for the singles competition.”
Yuan Ze had held his mobile phone and fallen into a daze for half a beat
before going over to knock on his door directly, “You…”
Kim Sung-hyun sighed, “Avoiding a fight isn’t true respect.”
Kim Sung-hyun continued, “This is what Close told me.”
Yuan Ze was stunned.
Kim Sung-hyun went on, “Back then, we all decided to leave on our own,
so we shouldn’t put on this fake and hypocritical facade of regret.”
On the eve of FTW’s dissolution, everyone’s hearts had been in turmoil.
Close wanted to buy FTW, but he hadn’t told his teammates.
It wasn’t that he hid it on purpose, but that he couldn’t say it.
It was uncertain whether Close could buy the club. This wasn’t a matter of
whether or not the money was in place, but also related to the complex
relationships within the transaction. Money and power were both
indispensable.
Close hadn’t said anything out of consideration for them.
Because once he said it, what could they do?
If they didn’t contact new clubs and the acquisition ultimately failed, should
they wait to be arbitrarily distributed by FTW’s management?
They couldn’t afford to take this risk, so Close hadn’t said anything and had
tried his best on his own.
However, how could they really be oblivious to it?

It was impossible. At least, Yuan Ze had known.
He had known for a long time that Close’s family was unusual. Although
he’d never mentioned anything about his family, the Lu family was
definitely not an ordinary one.
So, when Close had told him to wait for a while, Yuan Ze had already
guessed.
However, he hadn’t waited.
He hadn’t dared to wait, and he hadn’t wanted to wait.
Just like Kim Sung-hyun had said, leaving had been their own decision, yet
they’d ultimately put on a facade of regret.
Who was it for?
For Close?
Or perhaps it was for their own cruelty.
––For themselves, who’d given up their teammates, given up the team, and
burned down the results of their efforts.
Yuan Ze didn’t participate in the singles competition. Was it for the sake of
letting Close win?
No, he was just afraid to face Close.
Afraid to see a crushed Close.
Afraid to see a broken Close.
Afraid to see a Close who had been destroyed by their joint efforts.
Now…
This unexpected doubles game really let Yuan Ze experience something.

Close had never fallen.
He’d stood alone in the ruins and held up a bright stretch of sky on his
young shoulders.
A vast and gentle blue sky that belonged to the new FTW and his
teammates!
Avoiding a fight wasn’t true respect.
Yuan Ze spoke lightly, “Close, I will be signing up for the singles

competition this year.”
Lu Feng was a little stunned, but his voice was calm, “Okay.”
Three years later, the Team of Gods was about to have a delayed, but
genuine showdown.
It didn’t matter if they weren’t teammates.
They would do their best as opponents!
The doubles game ended with God Kim’s berserker thief coming to a full
stop.
A high and mighty world champion, a high and mighty doubles competition
king, a high and mighty Daddy Kim, lost in a complete mess.
Kim Sung-hyun spoke angrily, “I didn’t lose to the two of them. I lost to…”
He hadn’t finished saying the word ‘himself’, when Captain Li stabbed at

his sore point, “Lost to the berserker thief.”
Li Heran continued to stab, “Quiet’s berserker thief.”
Kim Sung-hyun was offended and sad, “Big bro!”

Li Heran turned his head to look at him, “Isn’t that the case? Quiet will be
FTW’s new jungler.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “……………………”
As childhood friends, Li Heran knew him too well.
These words drew blood and stabbed right into the core of what was
weighing on Kim Sung-hyun’s heart.
When he saw Wei Xiao’s berserker thief today, he’d thought of this almost
instantly.
Lu Feng wanted to switch positions, and this little lunatic would become the
new jungler.
That was why he was so persistent in trying the berserker thief. As a result,
he ran into Yuan Ze and Lu Feng, and was tortured miserably.
Kim Sung-hyun let out a long breath and leaned back into his e-sports chair,
“Ah, in the end, who was accommodating who?”
Did Close like to play jungler? Or, was it that when he joined the team, only
the jungler position had been left for him.
As these big brothers of his who always said and expressed that they were
accommodating him, had they really ever tried to understand him?
The first day of free matching was over.
FTW had a bumpy time of it, and their points put them in seventh place.
Lu Feng had played a total of seven games and scored 21 points.
Bai Cai and Wei Xiao had messed around and played recklessly and finally
managed to barely survive with 6 points.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle’s luck had been as bad as barren, broken earth,
and they had negative scores.
Chen Feng didn’t scold the two children. Little Ning wasn’t skilled enough
to even enter the eyes of these beasts, and Yue Wenle was the type to let it
all get to his head. It was normal for him not to have played well.
It was fine as long as there was improvement. Today was only the first day.
The top three on the scoreboard were: L&P, Pro, 3U.
The 3U team was very strong this year, and they had also been smart. They
didn’t hammer themselves at the start of the session and had seized the time
to double queue. The doubles team of Asleep and Cong Yi hadn’t lost a
single game; they were unstoppable.
The top three in the rankings could choose a team for their training match.
For the sake of the prize pool, they should choose the fourth, fifth, and sixth
place.
It was because these three teams had the most points. If they won against
them, they could accumulate a bigger bonus pool.
All the teams thought so, and even the two little ones in FTW thought so.
Ning Zhehan whispered to Yue Wenle, “Brother Le, in a while, let’s

continue to double queue.”
Although the free matching session was over, it didn’t prevent the players
from continuing by going to score on the international servers.
After fighting against other professional players in the same lane, Ning
Zhehan had finally realized how big the gap was and was eager to improve.
Yue Wenle: “Okay.”
As soon as the two people finished speaking, the selected teams were
projected up onto the big screen.
The first three teams had submitted their choice through the app in advance,
and it meant that their choices would appear at the same time.
L&P: FTW.
Pro: FTW.
3U: FTW.
Everyone at the scene was in an uproar, “???”
Wei Xiao was amused and elbowed Bai Cai, “Old Bai, look, our hard work
paid off!”
Bai Cai: “………………………………”
It’s not ‘our’, it’s ‘your’!!!
xiin: pst, guys, there’s a CG giveaway event going on right now! there’s
three separate contests: fanart contest, fanfic contest, and a random draw~
the prizes are free nitro subscriptions (for discord), and you can check out
the details here!
Ch50 - What kind of ‘captivating
team-killer’ was this?!
Out of the 18 teams there, over 90% of them were now confused and
stunned.
Why had they all picked FTW? Was it because of Close?
However, two years ago, FTW had to rely on Close’s solo games in order to
obtain training matches!
Why had they exploded in popularity this year?
They then went to look at FTW’s points, and it wasn’t anything worth
fighting over.
Let alone 4th place, they weren’t even 6th.
They were a 7th place team. Was it so important to choose them?
And the key point was, all of the top three teams had locked in FTW?
Why!
They didn’t get it. Nobody understood it.
Only the players who’d ended up in games with Wei Xiao and Bai Cai by
chance, and also encountered Gary and Kim Sung-hyun as well as Asleep
could make an approximate guess.
Although they couldn’t understand Chinese, the atmosphere of those games

were still fresh in their memories…
If it had been up to them, well, they’d also want to fight against that
berserker thief!
After the free match session, L&P, Pro, and 3U had all held a brief team
meeting.
L&P training room.
Gary slapped the table, “FTW! Laozi wants revenge!”
The coach was quite rational, “They’re 7th place, and they have a pitiful
amount of points. Winning against them won’t add much to the prize pool.”
Gary: “I just want to fight him!”
Yuan Ze had always had a bad sense of humor. Usually, he would purposely
play with Old G by choosing the opposite, but today––
He voted with Gary, “FTW, then. It’s quite meaningful.”
He hadn’t encountered Wei Xiao in the free matching, but he’d run into
Close.
Sure enough, compared with being teammates, he was more interested in

being Close’s opponent.
Both cores of the team had spoken. The coach thought about it and said,
“Alright, FTW is really different this year.”
The small bonus in the bonus pool wasn’t something that the rich and
powerful teams cared too much about.
What’s more, if they really wanted to snatch money, they should do it in the
last few days. Right now was just the beginning, and they weren’t in a
hurry. It was a good idea to first feel out their potential opponents.
So, L&P chose FTW. At this moment, they really hadn’t expected that there
would be ‘unforeseen events’ in this training match!
The situation on the Pro side was similar.
Kim Sung-hyun hadn’t said anything about it on the surface, and he looked
like he didn’t care, but he’d already written down the word ‘Quiet’ in the
little book in his heart.
This jungler, oh, this future jungler, or whatever… he was going to nip him
in the bud!
On the 3U side, they actually discussed it for a long time.
Cong Yi: “FTW.”
Manager Zhou thought about it, “Making it to the training grounds wasn’t
easy. We should choose some of the foreign teams.”
Cong Yi understood his mind. Making an appointment for a training match

with FTW was very simple, and the fans wouldn’t be very interested in
watching it. If they could win against a foreign team, the fans would be
willing to spend more.
Cong Yi: “Fourth place is Europe’s Black Knights, fifth is the Korean
competition zone’s New, sixth is North America’s PB. They’re all strong
teams. What should we do if we lose?”
One sentence was enough to poke at Manager Zhou’s sore spot, “Their
points…”
Cong Yi sneered, “You can’t really think that just because our points rank
us in third place, we’re actually third when it comes to strength amongst the
18 teams.”
Manager Zhou: “……”
3U’s coach spoke up, “FTW, they’re very different this year. It’s quite a
good idea to try them out in advance.”
So it was decided like this.
The three teams responsible for submitting their ‘choices’ had never even
dreamed that the other two teams would also choose FTW!
They’d all thought that choosing FTW would be an unexpected choice. Yet
as a result…
They actually ended up ‘all over the street’?!
Wei Xiao’s cheerful appearance gave Chen Feng a headache, “Would you
not be tired after having to fight three games!”
Wei Xiao was surprised, “It’s only three games, what’s there to be tired
about?”
Oh, you’re the one who can solo for 48 hours straight. Your energy levels
are different from normal people.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle had already agreed to go double queue.
Now…
Wei Xiao inspired his teammates, “It’s alright, all enemies are but paper
tigers. We just have to go up and fight. We kill one, we earn one!”
The two little ones: “……”
Although they were a little flustered, they somehow also started to look
forward to it a little?
After all, it was really cool being fought for by all three of the top three
teams.
The competition committee itself was stunned a bit silly when faced with
this kind of result.
They’d set up this rule so that different teams would be put together.
Regardless of whether it was for the live broadcast or for training purposes,
it was more exciting to have more teams participating.
What the hell was up with the three teams all fighting over the team in the
seventh place?
Have you guys ever considered the feelings of the fourth, fifth, and sixth
place teams?!
They worked so hard to accumulate so many points and were just waiting to
be picked, yet as a result… they were just ‘skipped over’?
The fourth place team was especially confused.
Before coming over, the coach had even given them some psychological
preparation, “We have the most points. Be careful, we might be picked by
all three teams.”
The Black Knights who’d already been mentally prepared, “What?”
This wasn’t anything like what they’d talked about!
The competition committee quickly tried to fix this ‘bug’, “The first three
teams can’t choose the same team.”
L&P, Pro, and 3U: “???”
Wei Xiao was more anxious than they were, “Why!”
It hadn’t been easy for him and Bai Cai to fill up their aggro meters, yet
they weren’t actually allowed to deal DPS. That was too much!
The people in charge in the competition committee couldn’t hear Wei

Xiao’s words. Otherwise, they would be coughing up blood.
They were doing this for FTW’s good. It was only the first day of training,
yet the strong teams were all lining up to hammer them. How could FTW
continue to play after that?
The competition committee revised the loophole in its rules, “From
tomorrow on, the choices will be considered based on priority. The team
ranked first has first choice, followed by the second and third place team’s
choices, and they must all pick different teams.”
Gary was happy, “We’re first, so we can choose first!”
L&P was situated near the front, and everyone could hear Gary’s voice.
The person in charge was just about to speak.
Kim Sung-hyun stepped up onto the stage. His face was cold and beautiful
as he said, “The rules will come into effect tomorrow. How come L&P will
get to choose first?”
He stressed the word ‘tomorrow’, emphasizing that he had no intention of

giving in.
Gary also stepped up, “Because we’re number one!”
Kim Sung-hyun’s eyelashes drooped, and the angle of his eyes matched
with his tear mole. He appeared arrogant and willful, “If this regulation was
known in advance, would we be second?”
The meaning behind the words was, in order to snatch FTW… oh, wait, in
order to have first choice, they would have rushed for first place.
Gary had wanted to continue arguing, but 3U’s vice-captain Cong Yi also
came up, “We also don’t approve of L&P making an appointment with
FTW.”
Gary’s half-assed Chinese came out, “You…”
Cong Yi’s Chinese was much faster than his, “Since the rules will come into
effect tomorrow, today should be a different story.”
Gary was attacked by enemies on both sides. He stuttered for a long time
and finally came up with, “How about… how about letting FTW choose!”
Yuan Ze didn’t want to look on anymore. He was just glad that he hadn’t
gone up.
Countless contestants off-stage, “???”
However, this matter made Wei Xiao worried to death, “This is too hard, I
want all three of them.”
Someone knocked on his head. Wei Xiao turned his head blankly.
Lu Feng glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.
Wei Xiao’s radar was up and functional, and he instantly realized that his
captain was getting angry, “Captain, you also think it’s overboard, right?
What gives them the right? It really wasn’t easy for us to get three training
matches, why…”
Lu Feng flicked his forehead.
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng lowered his voice. “Quiet.”
Wei Xiao: “Yes?” He leaned over to put his ear closer.
Lu Feng stared at his small and cute white earlobe and shifted his gaze, “Be
quiet.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
He’d thought that the captain was calling him over to whisper something to
him!
The competition committee was very worried.
Letting FTW choose was an earth-shakingly terrible idea!

The original intention of this point ranking was to let the teams who had
worked hard to rush to the forefront of the rankings select their teams for
training matches. Yet as a result… the team that was ranked 7th and hadn’t
even made it into the top 6, would now be given ‘priority choice’?
Why should they do that! Wouldn’t that turn this point system into nothing
but a frivolous decoration?!
The competition committee would never agree to this, but L&P, Pro, and
3U were all taking it seriously, and none of them would give in to the
others.
In the final analysis, the blame for this situation belonged to the competition
committee, and the teams were indeed a little wronged.
However, injustice was one thing, but obsession was something else.
The people beneath the stage were really about to die from curiosity. What
exactly was this?!
The three teams with the top scores had actually started fighting over a team
who’d come in 7th.
What kind of damned charm did FTW have?!
The teams who didn’t get why this was happening were a little anxious.
It was fortunate that this segment wasn’t being broadcast live.
Otherwise, the Chinese domestic Glory circle would create a clip and
amuse themselves with it for the entire year.
––What kind of ‘captivating team-killer’ was this?! To make so many

people lose their heads over them!
Finally, the competition committee proposed a method that worked for

everything.
A draw.
Nobody was willing to let go of the chance, and based on the premise of
‘protecting’ FTW, the competition committee could only come up with such
a countermeasure.
The three teams would draw lots. Whoever drew the one that had FTW
written on it would play a training match with them!
Gary was the most dissatisfied one, “We’re clearly in first place.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Go back and ask Old Shi how he managed to get first
place.”
If it hadn’t been for Close, would he have been able to get first place?!
Originally, Pro had been ahead of L&P. It was all because of that earlier
doubles game where Yuan Ze and Close had formed a team and had each
taken three points, while Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran had both lost and
had six points deducted from their team.
That was why L&P had managed to turn around.
The host was really afraid of this group of ancestors and hurriedly said,
“Come, draw lots!”
It just so happened that there were three people representing the three teams
up on the stage. They directly went to draw on behalf of their respective
teams.
Gary said, “We’re number one, we’ll go first!”
Then, without waiting for the other two people to react, he reached in and
picked out a ball.
He pulled it out and opened it…
The host announced the result, “Blank.”
Gary was so angry that he was about to spiral up into the sky!
Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran’s fans in China had given them a CP name,
the Koi CP.
Kim Sung-hyun’s Chinese was very good. He naturally understood the

meaning of the Koi CP.
Koi represented good luck, too.
God Kim made his move.
The host announced the result, “Blank!”
Kim Sung-hyun: “…………”
Damn it, only when he and Li Heran were together did they form ‘koi’. On
his own, he was just half a fish. He’d made a mistake!
Unfortunately, there was no way to redo his choice.
Cong Yi won without fighting. His position was stable.
The host followed up enthusiastically, “Congratulations 3U…”
She realized that this wasn’t quite right as she said the words. What was she
congratulating them for? How could the lofty top three teams have been
reduced to this kind of miserable situation!
The host changed her words, “Well, in that case, let’s have the FTW team’s
and 3U team’s starters all come up onto the stage!”
This result left Wei Xiao a little disappointed.
It wasn’t that he was disappointed with their brother team, but the
difference in going from three to one was too big! How could anyone not be
disappointed!
While Wei Xiao was complaining to Bai Cai in a low voice, Bai Cai’s face
was expressionless, “No, I don’t feel disappointed at all.” He even felt very
fortunate. He wasn’t ready to fight against those two beastly teams!
When they got up onto the stage, Gary and Kim Sung-hyun had just been
about to step down.
These two were very dissatisfied. Unfortunately, there was nothing they
could do about it. Luck was really something that depended on fate.
Wei Xiao was particularly able to understand their mood. He comforted

them loudly when they passed each other, “Don’t be discouraged, you can
work hard tomorrow and try to get first place on the scoreboard. That way,
you can pick us first!”
Kim Sung-hyun and Gary: “……………………….”
They were all on the stage, and Wei Xiao hadn’t lowered his voice. It had
been captured by the microphone nearby.
All the contestants at the scene: “???”
FTW’s new top-laner.
He had a devil’s logic!

Ch51.1 - They had to do it even if it
was impossible!
The gratitude and resentment between FTW and 3U could also be said to be
endless.
When FTW was in its heyday, 3U hadn’t been established for long. That
year, the entire China competition zone was looking up to FTW. Not to
mention chasing after them, just looking at them a few times made people’s
eyes painfully dazzled.
At the time, 3U’s management had been extremely envious of FTW’s Team
of Gods and had vowed to build a new dream team.
They smashed a lot of money into this endeavor and bought in many
foreign players, yet their results were terrible, and it had only made them
shaky and unstable.
In the same year, FTW’s Team of Gods disbanded, and FTW’s foundations
became as shaky as sand. Their situation was comparable with the 3U that
had caused all of their own problems.
At the time, the two bases had been situated close to each other, and they’d
often arranged training competitions together, working hard to climb up
together.
Unfortunately, FTW held on, but 3U’s management lost everything and ran
off.
Later on, someone took over 3U and made a new plan. They looked for two
years and finally dug up a big treasure in 2020.
That treasure was Asleep.

It was also from 2020 that 3U was gradually able to stand up again.
3U had learned to be scared of being poor. They had finally obtained a

trump card and desperately tried to squeeze out his value. Asleep was a
person who didn’t care about worldly affairs, and at the time, many people
worried that this child would be gnawed to the bone by the capitalists.
Unexpectedly, his low-key childhood friend, who’d entered the team with
him at the same time, was very clever.
Although he was only 19 years old, he was able suppress the stupid and
impetuous 3U management team completely with just his EQ and brain.
Asleep was indeed easy to bully, but with Cong Yi blocking everything in
front of him, one would have to ask Cong Yi for permission first before
bullying Asleep.
In 2021, FTW wasn’t the only team that looked hopeful.
Having had one year of experience in the competitive arena, Asleep and the
stable 3U were now equally ambitious!
The foreign fans might not be very interested in FTW vs 3U, but the fans in
China were definitely happy.
There was only a one hour time difference between Group A’s training
camp location and China. The live time for this training match couldn’t be
any better. Traffic hurtled up in a sharp peak, and it wasn’t worse than the
traffic for an official game.
Moreover, out of the 18 teams attending the training, FTW and 3U were
actually the first to have a training match. This achievement only proved
that the China competition zone was killing it this year!
They were very familiar with each other. The BP process didn’t require
much thought. Chen Feng was very familiar with 3U and easily broke up
some of their routine lineups.
He didn’t target Asleep because it wouldn’t have much of an impact: They
both had junglers as their cores. Coming up against Close was nothing but a
nightmare for other teams.
The 3U coach was equally direct. They went the usual route and only
focused on targeting Close.
Are you saying that he couldn’t be targeted?
They had to do it even if it was impossible!
Although ‘nightmare mode’ and ‘hell mode’ was almost the same, who
would want to go to hell if they could simply have nightmares?!
Finally, the line-up was determined.
The FTW side was very conventional: divine warrior, berserker thief, earth
mage, light priest, storm hunter.
3U’s side was pretty good, too: blood warrior, hidden thief, immortal
warlock, elemental shaman, raider.
In comparison, FTW was more focused around their jungler core. Basically,
all talents would be cooperating with the berserker thief. In order to free up
Bai Cai to follow the berserker thief, Yue Wenle had taken the storm hunter
that was able to protect itself.
3U’s side was more balanced. The blood warrior was a little less tanky
compared to the divine warrior, but its damage was higher, and it could be
used to cut down the earth mage in the later stages. The hidden thief didn’t
have the same ability to carry the rhythm of the game compared to the
berserker thief, but it had a higher survival rate, and it was a talent spec that
restrained the storm hunter. The immortal warlock was a magic assassin
(spell damage type assassin), and in the earlier stages, it could go around
the enemy’s tower to kill the earth mage once it had its ultimate move.
All in all, the line-ups were well matched, and winning or losing would be
based on individual performance.
Because the game was being streamed live, the competition committee had
arranged for two commentators.
After the commentators made a whole pile of meaningless chatter about the
line-ups and their problems, they began to discuss the contestants.
“FTW’s odds of winning are a little higher. We’ve all seen Close’s berserker
thief in the arena.”
“It’s hard to say. Asleep killed Close many times last year!”
“The player Asleep is indeed capable. Especially when paired with his
support partner Cong Yi, it’s definitely a combination where one plus one
equals more than two.”
After saying this, there was a scrolling comment that stabbed where it hurt,
“While FTW’s side is just one plus one equals one.”
It could be seen that this was one of Bai Cai’s haters with a glance,
ridiculing the way that Bai Cai didn’t take the initiative, didn’t step out of
line, and didn’t make mistakes, but definitely also didn’t add anything to the
game.
The canyon was projected up onto the big screen, and everyone’s gazes
were drawn to it.
The start of the game wasn’t smooth. The hidden thief came over to steal
into FTW’s jungle. At this time, Close was in the jungle area near the top
lane, and Bai Cai was keeping watch near the river.
The scrolling comments started up again, “Brother Cai, ah, Brother Cai, you
won’t die, but if you want to preempt others, holy shit…”
Just when everyone thought that Asleep would be successful in stealing the
jungle creeps, Bai Cai, who usually walked a standard route, took his mid-
laner with him and went down to the jungle area.
“Did the God of Wealth wake up?”

God of Wealth – refers to Bai Cai
“He moved! FTW’s number one lazy person took the initiative to attack!”
From a God’s eye view, they could see Bai Cai lead Ning Zhehan into their
own jungle area, and Close clicked on teleport after they opened up the
team’s vision of the area.
It could be seen that they were about to capture Asleep and Cong Yi
between them…
Asleep was indeed fierce, fierce and powerful. He concealed his

whereabouts and accurately used a W skill to hold down the other side’s
mage.
The earth mage, who’d only just reached level 2, had no self-protection
skills. At the end of the day, Ning Zhehan wasn’t experienced enough. He
panicked because his life was at stake!
Fortunately, Asleep hadn’t stacked his damage high enough yet and
couldn’t take away Ning Zhehan’s life with just a set of skills. He was left
with a sliver of health.
In shock, Ning Zhehan only wanted to retreat.
By this time, Close had already finished the teleportation. His scythe was
very accurate and locked onto Asleep.
At this moment…
At this second…
At this instant…
The scrolling comments exploded, “Hahahaha, hurry and look at our Cong
Yi!”
“Damn, he ran really fast!”

“The Pajamas CP is cracking apart!”
“God Yi, we agreed that you guys are inseparable regardless of life and
death! Why did you leave my Brother Sleep behind and run off!”
Indeed, the ‘Pajamas CP’ that acted like conjoined twins had flown in
separate directions when faced with difficulties. Cong Yi used the speed
increase totem on himself and ran away faster than a rabbit. With this kind
of attitude of selling off their teammates, those who watched were taken by
surprise and thought that 3U’s jungler and support had broken off their
friendship!
Of course, the commentators were very fair, “3U’s choice was correct in
this wave.”
“Asleep will definitely die. Cong Yi would simply be offering up another

kill if he stayed, so it’s better to leave quickly.”
“Also…”
They saw Asleep throw a dart at the earth mage who was at critical health.
Amazing! He managed to kill Ning Zhehan in return one second before the
berserker thief took his head.
Commentator: “It’s not a loss!”
“Great move! Asleep took First Blood!”
Right. Because Asleep killed Ning Zhehan first, he took First Blood. First
Blood came with an added farming bonus, so even if Close killed him, he
would still surpass Close in terms of farming.
In the early stages of the game, the resurrection time was very short. For
Asleep, this was equivalent to being sent home to recover his health for
free.
“3U is really capable.”

“Asleep and Cong Yi are really worthy of being in the top four for last
year’s doubles competition. Their cooperation is absolute!”
Regardless of whether it was Cong Yi’s quick escape while selling out of
his teammate, or Asleep’s dart just before death, these plays were all
extremely stable.
Making the best choice without being anxious or flustered was the best
display of a professional player’s quality.
On the other hand, the newcomer king Ning Zhehan was still too young and
inexperienced.
In FTW’s headset, Ning Zhehan’s voice trembled, “Sorry.”
Ning Zhehan became even more nervous when he said that.
On the top lane, Wei Xiao had constantly been exchanging health with 3U’s
top-laner. He was unable to help out during this small-scale group fight.
As someone who hadn’t participated, there wasn’t anything to say.
He was busy suppressing 3U in the top lane, and it seemed as though

someone was missing from the team.
Ning Zhehan didn’t know why, but he felt even more nervous.
The earth mage was a hero that he was very familiar with, and he used it
often. This hero was one that tended towards support in the mid-lane. It
could be used for its control skills in the early stages and dealt a large
amount of damage in the later stages.
However, he’d…
In the early stages, he’d simply been unable to control the hidden thief.
Asleep seemed to be like a wolf that had locked in on a piece of meat and
targeted Ning Zhehan like his life depended on it.
3U’s immortal warlock used another flight amongst the clouds. After
launching a set of skills and flying up into the sky, the short-legged earth
mage was left with nowhere to escape.
flight amongst the clouds – skill description
Scrolling comments: “Ning Zhehan plays quite well normally. Why is he so

bad when he steps into the arena…”
“At the end of the day, he has no competition experience. His mentality
isn’t good. It’s clear that he’s already collapsed.”
“It’s an old problem with FTW. The mid lane and jungler are never able to
link up together.”
“Wake up, who isn’t nervous when Close is nearby?”
xiin: quick announcement – GLORY now has a patreon tier! its $5/month
for ~5 advance chapters. you can check it out here if you’re interested~
Ch51.2 - I’ve decided to switch to
the top lane. In the future, Quiet
will play jungler.
“I was originally quite optimistic about Ning Zhehan, but now… what’s
with this? He’s the newcomer king with just this level of skill. Sure enough,
a newcomer king from the youth training camp is nothing but dogshit.”
“FTW’s new top-laner is just so-so, too. Wasn’t he praised as some sort of
grandmaster? He hasn’t shown off any kind of wonderful operations.”
“It’s a divine warrior against the blood warrior. It’s already really amazing
that he hasn’t been pressed into the ground!”
“Why’d they pick the divine warrior? FTW really has a one track mind.
Can’t they stop relying only on Close? Just watching it makes me
annoyed.”
Although these barrage kings were just running their mouth, they did have
good reason to do so.
In the present situation, Ning Zhehan was the other side’s breakthrough
point. The divine warrior was being held back, and it was very difficult for
Close to catch the hidden thief. This was indeed a disadvantageous situation
for FTW.
In the FTW headset, Wei Xiao shouted, “Captain, requesting assistance!”
Close glanced at the minimap.
In the top lane, Wei Xiao and 3U’s blood warrior’s fight was very tense.
Because the hidden thief had constantly been targeting Ning Zhehan, Close
hadn’t gone over to help much.
Fortunately for 3U, the blood warrior had enough DPS and could hold off
Wei Xiao.
Reasonably speaking, Wei Xiao’s side didn’t require support because he

hadn’t been pressured by the Blood warrior at all. On the other hand, he’d
used the buffs on his own body to fight against the blood warrior on equal
terms.
However, Close still headed over, “Bai Cai, follow Ning Zhehan.”
Bai Cai: “Yes.”
Close went to the top lane on his own. Wei Xiao had played the berserker
thief all day, and at this time, he was most familiar with it. When he saw
Close’s icon coming closer on the minimap, he could already estimate how
long it would take for him to arrive.
“I’m going up!”
While Close was still a distance away, Wei Xiao quickly pulled up the spear
inserted in the middle of the lane, landed his Q skill accurately, and flew out
with his ultimate move.
3U’s top-laner was shocked and was acutely aware that something was off.
He’d already sent over a teleportation signal to Asleep.
Asleep just happened to have a teleport available and clicked to transfer

over.
Unfortunately, it was still too late…
Three spears landed on the blood warrior. Finally, the blood warrior who
had only a third of his health left retreated beneath the tower. Unfortunately,
the berserker thief’s scythe arrived right then, and it swept past lightly.
The berserker thief killed the blood warrior!

Asleep finished the teleport and landed. He looked at Close, who was still
in a good state and standing guard in front of Wei Xiao…
He didn’t dare to attack.
If he dared to go and attack Wei Xiao, who was at half health, he would die
beneath Close’s scythe.
Let alone…
Asleep understood Wei Xiao too well. This guy was purposely seducing
him. If he let it get to him and went up now, he might even die without
managing to kill Wei Xiao.
He couldn’t let himself be tricked!
Wei Xiao was regretful, “Can Brother Sleep do it or not, I’ve already taken
off half my clothes (half health), yet he’s not rushing up to do me.”
Ning Zhehan, whose mentality was collapsing, “Pfft.”
The fans who were watching the live broadcast were all surprised, “What’s
going on with Ning Zhehan?”
“Did he recover his state?”
“What’s going on! My Sleep God ganked him for 20 minutes, yet he
recovered in a single second?”
“I want to listen to FTW’s internal voice chat!”
“Want to listen +1”

“Want to listen +10086”
“Could it be that my cold and emotionless great demon king has learned
how to coax people?”
“No way! The great demon king will only say coldly that it’s fine!”
“I also feel that getting the great demon king to coax someone would only
happen if the skies collapsed and the earth shattered!”
“I’m so curious!”
“No rush, no rush. Just wait for Glory’s Mic Explosion King to disclose
what happened, they’ll definitely use cuts from the internal voice chat!”
Although Ning Zhehan’s was stable now, he’d been ganked too miserably
in the early stages and was unable to deal out enough damage in the later
stages.
Fortunately, the earth mage relied mainly on control. He cooperated with

the light priest’s ultimate move and covered the entire area with slow
effects, making 3U very uncomfortable.
Later, Wei Xiao led the soldiers down the lane like crazy, and 3U really had
a headache over how to play. If they chose to go and catch him, he was
tanky and fleshy, and could recover health on his own. Even before they
killed him, the berserker thief chasing after him would come over to finish
the kill, taking away two of them in one go.
If they didn’t go catch him, he was like a pangolin that could quietly break
down 3U’s towers!
30 minutes into the game, 3U’s top lane was completely unable to hold up.
The blood warrior was an early stage hero. By the time the divine warrior
built up its health, when the two of them faced off against each other, the
blood warrior’s skills were simply like tickles against the divine warrior’s
body.
The divine warrior would chuckle, and then return the attack, forcing the
blood warrior to flee.
Even the commentators were amused, “FTW’s divine warrior is really

having fun.”
This comment was very subtle. It was indeed happy, or maybe it should be
called gleeful.
It was a big canyon, but the divine warrior ran to the west after running
around in the east, never joining the group fights, yet limiting the opposite
side to the extreme.
From 3U’s perspective, anyone who looked at it felt a headache coming on.
It could be imagined that 3U’s internal voice chat was, “Who will go and
deal with this damned monkey!”
Later, 3U really did catch and kill ‘Monkey Wei’.
It took three people using all of their skills to kill the divine warrior that
was so tanky it incurred the wrath of both man and god.
Wei Xiao died. Did 3U win?
No…
3U was done for!
The three people from 3U, who’d used up all their skills, were trapped by
the wall set down by the light priest who’d teleported over. The berserker
thief’s scythe was actually able to lock down two of them at the same time.
After a series of miraculous operations––
Triple kill!
Close happily took down a triple kill that was made possible completely
due to the way Wei Xiao had sold himself off so beautifully.
Wei Xiao: “Hey, hey, if you want to take turns with me, you have to take a
look at whether or not my captain’s big blade complies or not!”
Close: “Not.”
Bai Cai & Yue Wenle & Ning Zhehan: “… Cough cough cough.”
The three little ones almost choked to death!
Please don’t ever cut this section up onto Glory’s Mic Explosion King.
Their great demon king had been led astray by the little lunatic!
FTW won against 3U.
It had been a risky game, but they’d ultimately won.
During the handshake at the end, 3U’s blood warrior held Wei Xiao’s hand
and didn’t want to let go: So angry so angry so angry, the captain and vice-
captain had started off the game so beautifully, but it had been completely
destroyed by this divine warrior!
Wei Xiao was very magnanimous and comforted him, “It’s okay, you’re
welcome to come and get revenge or get even if you want to. Big brother
doesn’t refuse anyone.”
The blood warrior: “……………………………..”
He could sort of understand why the captain insisted on soloing with him!
F*ck, his hands were itchy!
The unlucky L&P chose to play against the Black Knights who were ranked
4th, and Pro chose the 5th place team.
There was no suspense for either of the games. L&P and Pro both won, and
their scores were steady at first and second place.
After the training matches came free practice time. They could go and
charge up the rankings in the formal servers or compete in their own
training matches.
Don’t judge based on how L&P and Pro had willfully fought over FTW on
the stage; it was different off-stage. The two teams’ training matches were
already fully scheduled for the week.
No matter how much the players wanted to hammer FTW, they couldn’t
bypass the team arrangements.
There were too many rivals that they needed to beat, such as the ‘kings’
from Group B who were training on an island in North America.
For the time being, FTW hadn’t arranged for any training matches. The
players all went to the international servers to rank.
At around eleven o’clock, Lu Feng and Chen Feng walked into the training
room at the same time.
It so happened that the four little ones had just finished their games, and
they all looked up one after another.
Chen Feng’s expression was serious and cold.
Lu Feng’s attitude was the same as usual. There was no extra expression,
but his thin lips seemed to curve briefly when he looked at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao immediately gave him a big smile in return.
Lu Feng shifted his gaze away and said, “I want to announce something to
everyone.”
Everyone cocked up their ears. They had no idea that a huge bomb was
about to drop.
Chen Feng took a deep breath, “How about I say it.”

Lu Feng had already spoken the words, “I’ve decided to switch to the top
lane. In the future, Quiet will play jungler.”
Bai Cai’s heart abruptly jumped up in his chest.
Ning Zhehan’s eyes opened wide.
Yue Wenle moved, and the potato chips on his legs were scattered all over
the floor.
Alright then, saying it earlier was the same as saying it later. After playing
against 3U today, everyone in the coaching team had nodded their
agreement.
Wei Xiao was really well suited for playing the jungler position. When it
came to motivating his teammates, he was really second to none.
Who could’ve known that Wei Xiao, the one Chen Feng had been the least
concerned about, would actually stand up abruptly.
“Why?”
His attitude was rarely so serious.
xiin: eeeep a cliffhanger! but, don’t worry, WX will be back to his energizer
bunny self real soon!

Ch52 - Faith
One ‘why’ represented the questions of everyone present.
Bai Cai, Ning Zhehan, and Yue Wenle didn’t dare to ask, but their hearts
were also filled with this question.
If Close wasn’t the jungler, would FTW still be FTW?
Not to mention the fans, even they felt this way.
Or in other words, who here in this room wasn’t a Close fan?
The glorious FTW, the dispirited FTW, the fragmented FTW, and the FTW
that had charged tenaciously into the global finals.
No matter which one it was, they all had Close’s shadow looming over it,
and they all had his shadow thief.
And now, he was saying that he wasn’t going to play jungler anymore.
This destroyed the faith of countless people!
Chen Feng’s throat was dry and hoarse, “… Ever since Quiet joined the
team, the coaching team has been observing and analyzing the situation,
and we’ve come to the conclusion that Quiet is more suited for the jungler
position…”
Wei Xiao interrupted forcefully, “Nobody is more suitable than Close is!”
He didn’t use the title of ‘captain’ and referred to Close by name.
Lu Feng’s eyebrows drew together in a slight frown, “Technique can be

tempered, experience can be accumulated. Some geniuses are meant to be.”
Wei Xiao stared at him, and two clusters of fire burned in his eyes,
“Genius? I…”
Lu Feng interrupted him, “In the evening, in the game against 3U, you were
the one who eased the pressure on Ning Zhehan.”
Lu Feng’s voice was quiet, gentle, and soothing, “I’ve always been unable
to take care of my teammates’ emotions. In order to win in 5v5, five people
are required, not one.”
Wei Xiao spoke impatiently, “I’ve already joined the team. I can do all that
from the top lane.”
Lu Feng shook his head, “The top lane has its own limitations. You’re more
suited to be a jungler.”
Wei Xiao: “But you’re the jungler, you’ve already been in this position for
four years!”
What kind of concept was this?
Only professional players could experience it fully.
E-sports was a profession that relied on youth. How many years could a
professional player play for? The tougher ones might last for six or seven
years, but the weaker ones could collapse in just two or three years.
Lu Feng had already been playing for four years, and he was more than
halfway through his career. No matter how talented he was, no matter how
excellent he was, he couldn’t remain in his peak state forever.
His golden age would only last for two or three years at most.
At this time, in a situation where he hadn’t made any mistakes, hadn’t fallen
behind, and showed no flaws, why should he give up playing the jungler
position?
For what?!
He’d worked hard for four years and devoted his efforts towards this for
four years. Why give it up!
Wei Xiao’s heart clenched into a ball, and his eyes were red.
Did he love playing jungler?
He loved it.
But why did he love playing jungler? It was because two years ago, Close
had led an immature team, and the indomitable spirit and resolve he’d
shown to find a chance to break out of a desperate situation had really
encouraged him.
Was Wei Xiao staunch and strong? He was.
With a pair of parents like his, looking after his elderly grandmother on his
own, he had to be strong.
However, couldn’t there be times when strong people were vulnerable?
When his classmate had come in second place in the class, his parents had
been so happy that they’d run to the school to treat everyone to small cakes.
He’d looked at the middle-aged couple whose faces showed joy they
couldn’t suppress, and he could only feel sad.
––He’d been first in his class in the exams, but his parents didn’t even
know.
Wei Xiao had run out of school, hid in an ohinternet bar, and inadvertently
seen Close’s game.
He looked at the shadow thief on the screen and saw the light.
A beam of light had pierced through cowardice and frailty, burrowing

straight into his heart.
A losing game, desperate teammates, and a game that no longer held
suspense.
From beginning to end, the shadow thief had held on, hadn’t given up, and
had never stopped.
He used his scarlet red blade, pierced through the haze, broke the deadlock,
and showed countless people the power of faith.
He wanted to fight, wanted to win, and even if he was the only one left, he
still had to struggle all the way to the end!
At the end.
The shadow thief stood alone in the empty canyon, his cloak fluttering
around him, looking resolute and determined.
This picture was engraved in Wei Xiao’s heart.
He’d never thought that he would be so shocked and moved by a video

game character.
He’d never thought that he would cry over a video game.
Even more, he’d never thought that he’d be moved by someone who was on
the other side of a screen, on the other side of a game, spanning
immeasurable nothingness, whose name he didn’t even know.
Close won that game.
Wei Xiao had also rushed into Glory’s China competition zone’s training
camp without any hesitation during that winter vacation.
Close was countless peoples’ faith.
And also Wei Xiao’s faith.
There were many people who were in desperate situations.

Even more people who struggled in pain.
And those on the thorny road of unremitting progress needed such a beam
of light.
––It could light up the darkness up ahead and give them infinite courage so
that they could keep going.
So, there was no way for him to accept it. Such a Close had actually chosen
to give up.
Lu Feng spoke softly, “Wei Xiao, come outside with me.”
Wei Xiao didn’t move.
Lu Feng’s voice was gentle, “Come here.”
This arrogant youth had always been docile and well behaved with him.
But now, Wei Xiao finally acted like a 19 year old. He stood there, didn’t
move, and spoke in a smoldering tone, “Tell me that you’ll still play
jungler.”
Chen Feng frowned and spoke up, “Wei Xiao, this is something that the
entire FTW has decided on. You…”
Lu Feng raised his hand and interrupted Chen Feng’s reprimand.
Chen Feng wasn’t happy inside either. He simply opened the door and left.
In the presence of so many people, there were many things that Lu Feng
couldn’t easily say, and with Wei Xiao’s current attitude, he probably
wouldn’t be able to hear it, either.
“Continue ranking. I’ll go back to the room first.” He said this to Wei Xiao
and planned to leave.
Wei Xiao was unreconciled, and before Lu Feng could leave, he asked, “Is
my top lane not good enough?”
Lu Feng’s heart stuttered.
Wei Xiao’s voice quivered, “Give me some time. I will become stronger,
I’ll become stronger than Yuan Ze!”
Lu Feng hardened his heart and pushed open the door, “I’ll wait for you in
the room.”
Wei Xiao stiffened, then sat down in his chair.
It was very quiet in the training room.
There was no clattering keyboard sound, no mouse clicks, and even the
sound of breathing was extremely light.
It was unknown how long it took, perhaps it was only a few minutes, or
even half an hour.
Wei Xiao sat up straight and silently entered the game.
He didn’t speak to anyone, and he didn’t look at anyone. He stared at the

screen, and the corners of his mouth stretched out into a straight line.
He entered the game and started a match. He didn’t say a word as he picked
the divine warrior.
At the start of the game, the divine warrior in the canyon was like a silent
lone wolf that stuck to its lane.
It fought against the other top laner, exchanged hits, and took First Blood!
In a group battle, it circled around the back, Pentakill!
Bai Cai also entered the game. He didn’t start his own match and instead
went to observe the match.
He looked at the silent Wei Xiao, looked at the divine warrior who was like
a sword that had been drawn out of its scabbard, looked at his incredible
maneuvers, and watched him win one match after another.
For a full four hours, Wei Xiao didn’t even drink any water.
He kept playing with the divine warrior, queued into games non-stop, and
killed endlessly.
After getting used to seeing the happy and smiling Wei Xiao, Bai Cai had
almost forgotten how scary Wei Xiao was when he was angry.
He was good-natured and very tolerant, but he also had untouchable bottom
lines.
One of them was Close.
The period two years ago had been the most difficult time for FTW. Close
had been very young when he bought the club, and it was something that
many people found impossible.
All kinds of rumors floated around. At the time, someone in their youth
training camp had said, “Close is really impressive. He can obtain an entire
club just by selling his ass.”
Wei Xiao heard this sentence and punched him without another word.
That person had been muddled, “You’re f*cking crazy!”
Wei Xiao landed another punch, and blood began to ooze from the corner of
that person’s mouth.
Bai Cai had been shocked silly back then. He’d already become familiar
with Wei Xiao by then; this guy was playful and smiling all day long, and
had a runaway mouth. He’d never thought that he would be so crazy when
he started fighting!
Later, if it hadn’t been for Bai Cai going up to stop him, he suspected that
Wei Xiao would’ve beaten the other person to death!
Even if he was being held down, Wei Xiao continued to stare at that person,
“Apologize.”
That person had no idea what he had done wrong.
Wei Xiao enunciated each word clearly, “Apologize to Close.”
It was only then that Bai Cai learned of Wei Xiao’s reverse scale.
Someone who was so easy to get along with normally, was more terrible
than anyone else when their reverse scale was touched.
The youth training camp’s management was much less strict than it was in
the professional arena. Only a reprimand and demerit had been given over
this incident.
That person hadn’t made any achievements. After being caught out, he
hadn’t dared to kick up a fuss and had directly gone home.
There weren’t many people who knew about this incident, but Bai Cai was
one of them.
So, he understood how much Close switching lanes affected Wei Xiao.
Three o’clock in the morning.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle gradually stood up.
They glanced at Wei Xiao, then looked at Bai Cai.
Bai Cai shook his head.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle nodded, and they both went out first.
Only Wei Xiao and Bai Cai were left in the room. Bai Cai thought about it
for a while and was just about to open his mouth when Wei Xiao spoke
first, “Go get some rest.”

Wei Xiao stared unblinkingly at the screen. Despite having been focused on
the game for four hours, his control over the divine warrior’s operations
was still extremely precise.
Bai Cai took a light breath, “The captain is still waiting for you.”
Wei Xiao’s fingers shook, and he missed a soldier, “He went to sleep.”
Bai Cai gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t be like this. For the captain to
make such a decision, it must be…”
Wei Xiao spoke coldly, “Go rest.”
The one who caused the problem had to be the one to fix it; Bai Cai knew
that it was useless for him to say anything else. He stood up, “You should
go back and rest early too.”
Wei Xiao: “Mm.”
Bai Cai left the training room.
Wei Xiao was the only one left in the large training room.
He finished a game.
The word ‘Victory’ on the screen was both dazzling and boring
He didn’t continue to queue for the next game. Wei Xiao leaned back in his
chair, and raised his elbow to cover his eyes.
Why did he have to give it up?
Was it because he wasn’t strong enough?
Had Close given up the jungler position because of him?

An indescribable pain surged up into his chest. It was so intense that it
made Wei Xiao feel a long-lost sense of powerlessness.
––Why did mom and dad leave.
––Was it because he wasn’t an obedient child?
Wei Xiao took a light breath and tried to suppress his turbulent emotions.
He sat up straight and hit the match button.
If he wasn’t strong enough, he’d train.
He could do it.
“Ding.”
His cell phone rang.
This was a special chime tone.
Wei Xiao cancelled the match queue and picked up his cell phone.
LU: “Are you sleeping?”
Wei Xiao wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone, including the boss.
However…
It was so late, yet the boss hadn’t gone to sleep. Maybe something had
happened.
Wei Xiao was unwilling to harm others just because of his own emotions.
Wei Xiao typed, “Not yet.”
Then, he continued and asked, “What can I do for you, Brother Lu?”
At three o’clock in the morning, if things were normal, he should’ve
already gone to sleep.
LU paused for a moment, then sent a sentence, “It’s so late, are you
training?”
LU: “Am I interrupting you?”
Wei Xiao: “No.”
The two of them both paused for a moment. It was as though neither of
them knew what to say for a while.
Wei Xiao tried to lift up his spirits, “It’s so late, but Brother Lu hasn’t slept
yet, is it…”
The words he’d been typing hadn’t yet been sent out when LU sent over
another message, “In a bad mood?”
It was four simple words, but Wei Xiao could feel the concern from this
person whom he’d never met.
The tip of his nose felt sour, “Mm.”
LU: “Did something happen?”
Wei Xiao felt like the words that had pressed down on his chest for four
hours, the words that he couldn’t even say to Bai Cai, could somehow be
spoken to this stranger.
“My captain decided to change lanes.” Wei Xiao typed out these few words
and felt as though his fingertips were being scalded.
He took a deep breath and sent out another sentence, “He’s going to give up
the position he’s held on to for four years.”
Followed by another line, “Because I’m not strong enough.”

In the hotel room, Lu Feng sat in the dark and looked at these three
messages.
––My captain decided to change lanes.
––He’s going to give up the position he’s held on to for four years.
––Because I’m not strong enough.
A thick stream of emotion overflowed in Lu Feng’s chest, making his

fingers tremble under the moonlight coming in from the window.
LU: “Why don’t you talk to him.”
LU: “Maybe it’s not what you think.”
Wei Xiao typed, “Brother Lu, you don’t understand. My captain, he’s been
playing in the jungler position ever since he started playing professionally.
His jungler is the best in the whole of Glory!”
LU: “But it’s not what he likes.”
Wei Xiao’s back felt like it was frozen, “How could that be!”
LU: “He didn’t give up, because what he’s held onto wasn’t the jungler
position.”
Wei Xiao stood up abruptly.
xiin: *cuddles the shit out of wei xiao*

Ch53 - Quiet and Close are a match
made in heaven!
Onlookers saw more clearly, while those involved were confused.
He was in the middle of it all and he was far from being able to see things
clearly.
Yeah…
Did the captain like playing the jungler position?
Was the captain playing Glory for the sake of the jungler position?
The captain had said that he wanted to talk to him, but he’d been hiding up
until now!
Wei Xiao couldn’t wait for another minute or even another second. He
didn’t even take his cell phone with him as he rushed out of the door,
running all the way back to the hotel room.
The hotel room and training room were on the same floor, so he only had a
run a few steps to get there.
Reasonably speaking, it was such a short distance that it shouldn’t have

affected his breathing, but Wei Xiao’s heart was beating too quickly, and he
couldn’t breathe evenly.
The captain should have gone to bed, right?
Or was he waiting for him.

Damn it!
As soon as he thought of how the captain, who would sleep at midnight

even if struck by lightning, might be waiting up for him, Wei Xiao wanted
to hammer himself!
He took his room card out of his pocket, and the door unlocked with a click.
In the moment when he pressed down on the doorknob, Wei Xiao closed his
eyes.
When he pushed open the door, only darkness entered his eyes.
Had he gone to sleep?
Wei Xiao let out a breath of relief, yet he also felt a sliver of loss.
It was okay! He’d thought it through. No matter why the captain had made
this decision, he should talk to him about it properly.
Being depressed and smoldering on his own was really stupid behavior!
Although Wei Xiao was in a hurry, he couldn’t bear to wake Lu Feng up.
His steps were light as he walked in.
The hotel room had floor lighting that would light up with movement. A
yellow floor lamp lit up a circular area around it as soon as his foot landed.
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng: “I thought you didn’t plan to come back tonight.”
The voice that was slightly hoarse from staying up late rang out in the
dimly lit room.
Wei Xiao almost jumped straight up, “Cap-cap-captain!”
Because it was a resort hotel, the rooms had huge French windows. At this
time, there was a blurred figure seated on the high backed sofa in front of a
window.
Behind the figure was the romantic view of the moonlit deep sea. Silver
moonlight fell onto his shoulder sketching out an outline of his profile.
Lu Feng moved his hand and manually switched on the floor lamp beside
him.
The orange light swept away the moonlight and brought with it a layer of
warmth.
Wei Xiao felt ashamed and said, “You’re not asleep.”
He remembered the words Lu Feng had said when he left the training room,
“I’ll wait for you in the room.”
So, the captain had waited for him for four hours.
Wei Xiao didn’t want to hammer himself anymore. He wanted to hammer

himself dead (repeatedly)!
Lu Feng glanced at him, “Come here.”
Wei Xiao went over and sat down beside him.
Looking at the cautious and hesitant youth in front of him, Lu Feng’s heart
melted into a soft mess. His voice couldn’t help but turn gentle, “There
were too many people in the training room. It wasn’t convenient to say
some things there.”
The matter of Lu Feng switching lanes, in fact, there was no need to explain
it to anyone.
What Chen Feng had said before was already an objective fact.
Wei Xiao could do a better job in that position. Why not change lanes?
Even if the person in charge of FTW was Lu Feng, FTW belonged to

everyone.
With a clearer path in sight, why not move forward?
He’d called Wei Xiao out for some more personal reasons.
There were some things that he didn’t want to tell others, but he wanted to
let Wei Xiao understand why.
This involved the FTW from the past.
Even if the old FTW came to such a tragic, bitter end, even if his former
teammates had all abandoned him, Lu Feng had no intention of publicizing
the past.
Wei Xiao’s heart was full of the messages that the boss had sent him. He
looked up at Lu Feng and asked bluntly, “Captain, do you like playing
jungler?”
The answer Lu Feng gave him was, “I don’t hate it.”
Wei Xiao stilled.
Not hating it wasn’t the same as liking it.
Not hating it was just not disliking it.
Lu Feng spoke slowly, “When I joined the team, FTW was short a
jungler…”
Four years ago, FTW’s jungler was Chen Feng.
FTW, which had drawn in a large number of talented players, had achieved
excellent results the year before. Unfortunately, Chen Feng couldn’t keep
up with the team’s pace.
At the time, the coaching team had hoped that Yuan Ze or Yan Jiang would
switch lanes.
These two were absolutely capable of playing the jungler position.

However, Yuan Ze refused to play jungler. He just wanted to play in the top
lane.
Yan Jiang’s answer was even more cold and aloof, “Since FTW doesn’t
require a support player, I can transfer.”
FTW couldn’t afford to offend those two and rushed to pacify them.
At this time, Close joined the team. He was an all-round player, a very
strong rookie who could play in any position.
The coaching team didn’t even think twice about it and said, “Then have
Close play jungler.”
Nobody asked Close what position he wanted to play.
Nobody cared about his preferences.
What the team was lacking was a jungler, so Close became FTW’s jungler.
When he heard this, Wei Xiao became anxious, “How could it be like that!”
After saying that, he realized that this was ‘normal’. Many professional
players didn’t have a choice about their position when they first joined the
team, especially if they were new players who didn’t have a fixed position.
It was normal for them to follow whatever arrangements the club made for
them.
Lu Feng looked at Wei Xiao, “I haven’t had time to ask you…”
Wei Xiao’s heart trembled.
Lu Feng asked him gently, “Now that you’ve joined FTW, what position do
you want to play?”
It was normal not to ask, especially for players who could play in any
position.
However, Lu Feng wanted to ask Wei Xiao.

Not just Wei Xiao. He’d asked every player who had joined FTW.
Yue Wenle, Ning Zhehan, Bai Cai…
No matter what position they’d held in their previous team, he’d had a
serious talk with them about this after they joined FTW.
Not hating a position was one thing.
Liking it was another matter.
Doing something one liked was a completely different thing.
Before, nobody had had the time to ask Wei Xiao. On one hand, Lu Feng
understood Wei Xiao and knew what he liked; on the other hand, the matter
of switching lanes hadn’t been made public, so he’d held back.
Now, he asked Wei Xiao formally, “Do you like playing jungler?”
Lu Feng: “Don’t feel pressured. You also don’t have to think about anything
else. Just say what you feel in your heart.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were red.
Nobody had ever said such things to him before. Nobody had ever asked
him what he was thinking. Nobody had ever been like the captain…
His parents didn’t want him, and it had already been very difficult for his
grandmother to support the two of them.
Wei Xiao wasn’t qualified to like anything, and he didn’t have the
confidence to ask for anything.
Wei Xiao took a deep breath and said, “I like playing jungler.”
He liked playing the jungler position. He liked this profession.

This love had begun with Close, but over the past two years, it had taken
over and filled his entire being.
He liked doing his own thing, liked being unfettered, liked being able to act
unscrupulously.
He liked the jungler position that let him run around wantonly in the canyon
and liked the shadow thief that was as free as the wind!
Lu Feng lifted his hand to wipe the tears from the corner of Wei Xiao’s eyes
and spoke in a soft voice, “If you like it, then don’t give it up. Don’t give it
up because of anyone, or anything.”
Wei Xiao raised his own arm and wiped at his eyes that had let him down
by leaking tears, and spoke anxiously, “But…”
Lu Feng knew what he wanted to ask, “I’m not forcing myself.”
“To be precise.” Lu Feng looked into his eyes that seemed to shine after
being washed by water and said, “Since the day you joined FTW, I no
longer wanted to force myself anymore.”
The even tone carried the unique resonance that belonged to Close, but at
the same time, a sense of relief overflowed from this inorganic indifference.
It was like setting down his shackles, unfurling his wings, and being eager
to soar up into the sky.
Lu Feng, a newcomer to the team, had chosen to play jungler for the sake of
the team.
He didn’t hate playing jungler, but nobody knew that what he liked was the
top lane.
Guarding half the canyon on his own, guarding the team’s rear, a warrior
that was like a sharp spear ready to cut off the enemy’s soldiers.
He wasn’t good at comforting people, and he was even less able to mobilize
a team’s emotions.
All he could do was to do what he could and be the best at it.
The top-laner was a position that allowed him to do so.
A position that suited him.
“Four years ago, the team needed a jungler, so I became a jungler; three
years ago, FTW needed Close, so I continued to play jungler; now that
you’ve returned to the team, can I stop playing jungler?” Lu Feng asked
Wei Xiao quietly.
Wei Xiao’s heart was beating extremely fast, “You really like the top lane.”
Lu Feng’s eyes carried traces of a smile, “Yes.”
Wei Xiao: “And I like playing jungler.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao stilled for a moment. That little brain of his that usually spun
really quickly was now somewhat overloaded.
Before he’d appeared, Close had always been forcing himself; after he
appeared, Close was no longer forcing himself.
He hadn’t taken away something that Close had always held on to. His
arrival had liberated Close and given him the freedom he longed for!
Yeah.
As the boss had said, what had Close been persevering for?
The jungler position?
The glory of being the strongest jungler?
No!
None of it!
What Close persevered for was FTW, this team, and the glory that belonged
to them all!
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up, and the haze in his heart was swept away to be
replaced by a soaring happiness.
An indescribable happiness, a huge happiness, a happiness that he really

wished he could share with the whole world!
“So that means…”
Wei Xiao was happy enough to explode, “You like the top lane, but you
played jungler instead, and I like jungler, but I went to play the top lane
instead. Now, after we trade, everyone will be happy!”
Lu Feng was also infected by his happiness, “Yes.”
Wei Xiao’s little brain had come back to life again!
“Shit,” He realized, “We’re actually so well matched!”
He had a bit of a bad premonition.
As expected, there was no saving an excited Wei Xiao’s mouth, “Captain,

we’re a match made in heaven!”
Lu Feng: “……………………”
Wei Xiao’s heart was full of beautiful delight, and he really had to find
someone to show off to.
Oh…
At 3:30 in the morning, it was probably only him and the captain who were
still awake.
So, he…
Would just show off to the captain, then.
Wei Xiao stared at Lu Feng, “Me and Close are a team made in heaven!”
Lu Feng got up.
Wei Xiao was still chattering, “We’re a team made in heaven, a team
blessed by nature, a team that incurs other people’s envy…”
As he continued speaking, Wei Xiao ran out of proverbs to play with and
asked Lu Feng, “Are there any other phrases?”
Lu Feng turned off the floor lamp, “Yes.”
Wei Xiao’s gaze darkened briefly, and he couldn’t see Lu Feng’s face
clearly, “Tell me, tell me!”
Lu Feng spoke slowly, “A happy pair flying wing to wing, a pair of

interlocked branches, a harmonious pair, white…”
The shameless and oblivious Wei Xiaoxiao was shocked, “Wait a minute?”
Lu Feng: “Yes?”
Wei Xiao’s heart trembled, “Captain, what you mean by pair!”
Lu Feng understood him too well. He spoke calmly, “A team.”
Wei Xiao relaxed, patted his chest, and said, “You’re going to scare me to
death.”
Lu Feng asked him, “Scare?”
Wei Xiao’s mouth had no filter, “I thought you wanted to fly together with
me, be interlocked together with me, and live together forever with me until
we’re old and have white hair!”
Wei Xiao began to be mischievous again. He put on an act, “Hey, could it

be that you really…”
Lu Feng: “Wei Xiao.”
Wei Xiaoxiao: “Huh?”
The great demon king was angered, “Either go wash up, or scram to the
training room and kill soldiers until dawn.”
Wei Xiao: “…………” He picked up his bathrobe and rushed to the

bathroom.
While washing up, Wei Xiao was still happy and very elated.
He hummed a little song and thought about a better and brighter future.
He’d really never, ever thought that Close had wanted to play top-laner the
most; he’d really never, ever thought that his arrival had liberated Close.
When he thought about the latter, Wei Xiao’s heart felt like a piece of sugar,
incredibly sweet.
The captain was really nice.
How could the captain be so wonderful!
The ignorant youth’s heart was filled with one person, but he didn’t
understand the true color of his feelings.
After washing up and coming back out, Lu Feng was already sleeping.
This time, he was lying flat on his back. It was clear that he was very tired,
and at present, he had faint dark circles beneath his eyes, and his lips were
paler than usual.
Wei Xiao propped his cheek on his hand and looked at him for a long time.
As he looked…
F*ck! The boss!
Only then did Wei Xiao remember that he’d left his cell phone in the
training room.
And he’d also bailed on the boss while he was at it.
It was so late at night, and he still didn’t know what had happened to the
boss that had put him in a bad mood. The boss had been in a bad mood and
had come to chat with him, yet as a result, he’d chattered on about himself
and even owed the boss thanks for helping him think things through.
And yet, as soon as he thought things through, he’d tossed the boss to the
back of his mind and even left him in the training room!
It was now…
It was almost four o’clock in the morning!
Wei Xiao was really upset about it. He wrapped himself up in his bathrobe
and rushed back to the training room to look for his cell phone.
Once his cell phone was back in hand, he was stunned when he looked at
the messages.
Before, he’d been focused on the captain. Now, when he looked again…
Ummm.
The boss’s words had been a little strange.
In the first sentence, there’d still been the word ‘maybe’, but in the last two
sentences, he’d directly said that Close didn’t like playing jungler? He’d
said that he hadn’t been holding on for that? And said that he hadn’t been
holding onto a jungler position?
This tone.
Wei Xiao was shocked by his own thoughts––
How come it was so much like having the captain say these things himself?!
The boss was the captain?
The captain was the boss?
How was that possible!
Wei Xiao’s brain spun wildly as he went through the recent conversations
between him and the boss.
––He’d praised Close.
––Praised the captain.
––Praised Close after praising the captain.
These things didn’t matter. Wei Xiao praised the captain every day in real
life, too, and that was nothing to be worried over.
However…
Wei Xiao thought of his own character set-up, and thought of his
‘girlfriend’ that he’d paid a 2 million breakup fee to.
If the boss was the captain, then he…
Wei Xiao groaned and wanted to die.
He turned to the last message in their conversation history.
LU: “Of course, these are just my guesses. From chatting with you, I think
that your captain isn’t a person who would give up so easily, so you should
go and talk to him.”
This was the message that LU had sent to him after Wei Xiao left the
training room.
Wei Xiao stared at this message for a long time…
Well, it seemed to make sense.
Speaking of which, how could the boss be the captain.
How could an idea that had no logic behind it appear in his mind.
Were there any similarities between the boss and the captain?
One was a newbie at the game, and one was a big god.
One was a boss with a career, and the other was number one in the world.
One was someone who didn’t treat 2 million like it was worth anything, and
the other had so much money they’d built a castle.
One was good to him, and the other one treated him even better…
F*ck!
There were a lot of similarities!
Other than when it came to the game, the similarity was a little too
amazing.
And… Wei Xiao finally, belatedly, started to consider this game ID.
LU… and they were both surnamed Lu…
It couldn’t be!
Wei Xiao took his cell phone with him and went back to the hotel room. He
stared at his sleeping captain for another three or four minutes.
The captain’s cell phone was on the bedside table…
Wei Xiao shook his head crazily. How could he touch other people’s
personal belongings? It was too shameless!
Wei Xiao pressed down the restlessness in his heart and tried to hypnotize
himself.
Sleep, sleep. The captain wasn’t the boss, and the boss wasn’t the captain.
Sleep, sleep. So what if the captain really was the boss, and the boss was
really the captain?
Sleep, sleep. He’d merely treated the captain like his girlfriend, and treated
the boss like his girlfriend!
Wei Xiao’s eyes opened up abruptly––to hell with sleeping!
Wei Xiao only fell asleep after the sky grew bright. He managed to sleep all
the way until noon.
The doorbell woke him up.
Wei Xiao turned his head and found that the captain had already gone out.
Wei Xiao clutched at his hair and opened the door.
Bai Cai and his black eye circles met with Wei Xiao’s even bigger black eye
circles.
The two people with black eye circles looked at each other, “……”
Wei Xiao: “Old Bai, are you lovelorn?”
Bai Cai: “……………”
Wei Xiao comforted him, “There are plenty of fish in the sea. There’s no
need to obsess over a single flower.”
Bai Cai hadn’t slept well all night due to worry that this kid would do
something bad. Who could’ve known that when he woke up…
The old beast was back?!

You were coaxed back to normal so quickly?!
Captain was really amazing!
Bai Cai poked his head in to look into the room.
Wei Xiao yawned, “The captain isn’t here.”
Bai Cai was doubtful, “Last night, you guys…”
“Come,” Wei Xiao slung an arm over his shoulders, “Let elder brother tell
you a secret.”
Bai Cai: “???”
Wei Xiao blinked, “Ever since I joined FTW, the captain has discovered his
true love.”
Lu Feng wasn’t willing to mention old matters pertaining to FTW, and Wei
Xiao wouldn’t share it either.
Bai Cai was surprised, “Wh-what!”
Wei Xiao chuckled, “The captain discovered that he likes the top lane, and I
like jungler, so…”
Wei Xiao shared the secret with his close brother, “Quiet and Close are a
team made in heaven!”
Bai Cai: “………………………………”

Ch54 - Were there any e-sports
youths who didn't have dreams?
To hell with your ‘made in heaven’!
He’d been so worried that he’d been sleepless all night, and now he had to
come over and listen to this bullshit?
Brother Cai had long seen through Wei Xiao. Even if this fellow said that
he’d slept with the captain, regardless of whether who was the top or
bottom, or how they were a negative distance apart, he wouldn’t believe a
single word of it!
Wei Xiao’s mouth was incapable of speaking the truth.
Brother Cai was numb.
“So…” Bai Cai extracted the essence of his words, “The captain is
switching lanes because he likes the top lane?”
Wei Xiao opened his mouth and came up with 180,000 reasons, “Indeed.
The captain has been playing jungler for so many years. He thought he was
in love with playing jungler, and it wasn’t until he saw me playing top lane
that he fell for my free and easy play style and discovered his own love. It
turns out that he’d been confused about his feelings, and what he loved
deeply was me… my top lane. So…”
Bai Cai: “… Speak with the human language.”
Wei Xiao was delighted, “So, the captain is going to the top lane!”
Bai Cai’s heart was still uncertain, “Are you sure?”

This kid was usually as sharp as a devil and nobody could even think of
tricking him, but as soon as it came to Close, it was a real, living attack on
his mental intelligence.
Brother Cai had reason to suspect that the captain could coax the little
lunatic into a little fool with just a few words.
For details, please refer to LU.
Wei Xiao’s happiness couldn’t be suppressed, “It’s true. You can rest
assured that our captain feels no grievances or reluctance. He sincerely
wants to go to the top lane, and I’m the person who has given him release!”
Bai Cai: “……” Can you f*cking not make it sound dirty!
Wei Xiao coughed, “It seems a little strange to say it that way, maybe it
should be called ‘liberation’?”
Shut up ahhhhh!!
Wei Xiao slapped his right fist against his left palm, “Unimportant. Just
remember, the captain and I are a team born in heaven, and we’re good!”
Bai Cai didn’t want to remember this at all. He urgently wanted to find
disinfectant and clean out his brain!
Bai Cai might be cursing Wei Xiao in his heart, but his face was relaxed.
After being worried all night, getting a result like this… was quite good.
As long as Little Lunatic Wei had ‘come back to life’, Little Ning and Old
Yue would also follow suit.
Chen Feng had been right about this. With regards to the rhythm of the
team, Wei Xiao was really gifted.
Wei Xiao’s heart remembered something else as well, “Old Bai, let me ask
you something.”
Bai Cai was absent-minded. After the stone that had been pressing down on
his heart finally fell to the ground, he even started to feel a little sleepy,
“Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “Do you know anything about the captain’s alt account?”
Bai Cai’s sleepiness disappeared, and he was instantly awake, “Ah?”
Wei Xiao had suffered from insomnia for most of the night while
comparing the captain with the boss. How could he not be worried about it
now? “Think about it carefully, does our captain have an alt account called
LU?”
Wei Xiao stared at him.
Bai Cai’s face was as stable as an old dog’s, even as his heart shuddered
through a wave of panic, “I don’t know, hey.”
Wei Xiao didn’t even blink.
Bai Cai pushed him away, “Why are you so close!”
Wei Xiao: “You’re lying.”
Bai Cai: F*ck!
Captain, come here quickly. I can’t deal with your little lunatic!
Wei Xiao crossed his arms over his chest and looked at him, “Old Bai,
you’re acting suspicious. I was just asking about the captain’s alt account.
Why are you nervous?”
Bai Cai’s back was sweating. He thought quickly, “How the hell am I
nervous. Are you sick or something? Isn’t LU your boss? How is that even
related to the captain.”
Oh, yeah. Bai Cai had seen many screenshots of his conversations with the
boss, which was why he knew about the boss’s ID.
Ummm, was he overthinking it?
Bai Cai had just walked on the edge between life and death. His heart had
practically gotten a whole size bigger, “Could it be that you’re suspecting
that your boss is the captain?”
When Wei Xiao saw him acting so logical and righteous, he became more
and more uncertain.
Bai Cai tossed this problem away quickly and neatly, “If you’re suspicious,
why don’t you just go and ask the captain about it?”
Wei Xiao fell silent for a moment, then said in a small voice, “What should
I do if it really is him?”
When had Bai Cai ever seen him act like this? He was shocked, “What are
you affecting embarrassment for? Has there ever been anything that can
make you feel embarrassed?”
Wei Xiao was really feeling embarrassed, “F*ck, I’ve had so many heart to
heart talks with the boss!”
Bai Cai knew about all the stupid things he’d done and was left speechless
for a moment.
Wei Xiao looked up to the heavens and sighed, “Also, I told the boss that
the captain is my girlfriend, and told the captain that the boss is my
girlfriend. If the two of them are the same person, then I…”
Bai Cai thought that he was going to say that he’d feel too ashamed to live.
Little Lunatic Wei’s brain circuits were really different from those of
ordinary people. “What’ll I do if the captain misunderstood?”
Bai Cai: “… Misunderstand what.”
Wei Xiao: “Misunderstand and think that I want him.”
Wei Xiao: “Misunderstand and think that I want him to be my girlfriend.”
Bai Cai: “……………”
Wei Xiao was still overthinking it, “Misunderstand and think that I’m
stepping on two boats!”
No way. He took the captain as his girlfriend one moment, and then treated
his boss as his girlfriend the next. He was really a scum man!
Bai Cai couldn’t hold back anymore, “Shut up and stop thinking!”
Wei Xiao also didn’t know why he was suspecting the captain like this.
Would the captain go out to find an accompanying player? Spend two

million just for an accompanying player?
However, what if the captain had long known it was him?
Regret!
Wei Xiaoxiao was really regretful right now!
Why hadn’t he secretly turned on the captain’s cell phone last night? That
way, if he’d sent a message to the boss, and the captain received it,
wouldn’t he…
Wei Xiao was startled––

Forget it, the captain really mustn’t receive it!
However…
Maybe he should find a chance to try it out that night?
He didn’t have to look at it too much, he just had to send a message.
As long as the captain’s cell phone didn’t light up, he could rest assured.
While the two of them were talking, they’d already arrived at the restaurant.
They encountered Gary when they sat down.
Wei Xiao was quick to greet him, “Old G, you can do it!”
There would be free matching in the afternoon. L&P really should work
hard.
Gary was enraged, “… Get lost!”
Gary’s pronunciation of other words might not be that good, but this phrase
was particularly accurate. After all, he heard Yuan Ze curse every day.
Wei Xiao wasn’t interested in eating, but Bai Cai was greedy. When he
heard that there was baked lobster at noon today, he couldn’t sit still
anymore, “Just wait, I’ll go and get you some lobster!”
Wei Xiao: “You might as well squeeze me some watermelon juice instead.”
Bai Cai: “What do you know? Watermelon juice is ten dollars per cup,
while lobster babies are 300 each. Do you know how to calculate accounts
or not?!”
Wei Xiao waved his hand, “Okay okay okay, whatever Brother Wealth
says.”
Bai Cai walked off in high spirits.

A while later, Wei Xiao had already eaten his fill, yet Bai Cai hadn’t come
back.
It was just a baked lobster. Was there really a queue for it?
Wei Xiao finished off the last piece of watermelon and got up to look for
him.
The restaurant was very big, but the high and mighty support player,
Brother Cai, was someone whose eyes could pierce through the fog of the
Glory canyon every day. How could he get lost?
He went to the barbecue area and saw several baked lobsters, but he didn’t
see Brother Cai.
Where was he?
Wei Xiao took out his cell phone and was just about to call Bai Cai when he
heard someone call out to him, “Quiet!”
Wei Xiao looked back and discovered that it was 3U’s mid-laner, a
relatively short fellow.
Wei Xiao remembered his name, “Li Chun? What’s up.”
Li Chun said, “I just saw God Bai in the toilet. It seems that there’s people
blocking his way.”
Wei Xiao froze.
Li Chun wanted to say something else, but Wei Xiao had already headed
towards the toilet with big strides.
Li Chun’s heart was very uneasy. After all, they were from the same
competition zone. FTW and 3U had always had a good relationship, and
Bai Cai was quite popular. He was famous, but didn’t put on any airs and
often took care of newcomers. Everyone liked him a lot.
And he didn’t know what was up with that group of people. They looked
like an European team, but they weren’t the Black Knights. It might be OD?
Was there anything between God Bai and OD?
Li Chun wasn’t very clear about it, and he’d wanted to go up to FTW’s
training room upstairs to call someone over. But he’d seen Quiet on the way
there, so he’d quickly told him about it.
But… he’d better still go upstairs and let FTW’s coach know.
Wei Xiao soon arrived at the bathroom. He heard a familiar voice.
“Old Bai, you’re really nostalgic. The newcomer from FTW was your old
teammate in the youth training camp, right?”
“He already threw you away and ran off. Why are you looking out for
him?”
“Ah, you look so smart, but you’re so stupid inside.”
“Don’t stay in FTW anymore. Come to OD, I’ll look out for you.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were keen. He could pick out the Chinese person amongst
the crowd of Westerners.
Wei Xiao knew that person. Although he’d never seen him in person, he
actually knew his name.
In 2018, the Glory training camp’s newcomer king had been Wei Xiao; in
2020, it was Ning Zhehan; in 2019, it was this man. His name was Zhou
Xingfei.
Bai Cai and the words ‘newcomer kings’ really couldn’t be separated, but
the relationships were messy and chaotic.
There was no need to mention Wei Xiao.
Ning Zhehan was now also one of his teammates.

Zhou Xingfei was the most ball breaking one. He’d tricked Bai Cai into
losing one million yuan, then dusted off his ass and gone abroad.
Brother Cai had always been greedy for money. After losing this one
million yuan, he’d shut himself up for a whole month.
Wei Xiao had been busy with his own studies at the time. When he came
back and saw Bai Cai, he’d been shocked.
Brother Cai had always been skinny, but in a single short month, he’d
gotten two sizes thinner, and his small body simply looked like it would
topple with a breeze.
At the time, Bai Cai hadn’t yet entered FTW. He’d been very confused
about his future, and all he wanted to do was to roll himself up and go back
home to raise pigs.
Wei Xiao had been startled and had quickly dragged the man back. It took a
long time before Wei Xiao could help him stabilize his emotions and
understand what was going on.
Two years ago, after Wei Xiao had left, Bai Cai hadn’t had a smooth time of
it.
In the professional circles, the support position had always been an

awkward one.
Strong, rich teams would place a lot of importance on the support position.
FTW’s previous captain, Yan Jiang, had been valued at an amazingly high
price.
However, ordinary teams really didn’t pay much attention to the support
position. This was because the funds for smaller teams were limited, and
they could only use their limited funds to fight for better core players. For
them, any player could fill the support position and do a passable job of it.
Bai Cai had been a rookie at the time, but because he had followed Wei
Xiao and kicked up a big ruckus while in the training camp, he’d been
signed by a second rate team.
This was a pretty good start for a newcomer, but unfortunately, the team
wasn’t very humane, and they played favorites, allowing others in the team
to suppress Bai Cai.
Bai Cai was wronged for an entire season. In 2019, he met that year’s
newcomer king, Zhou Xingfei.
At the time, Bai Cai had rose colored filters when it came to newcomer
kings.
Even though Zhou Xingfei and Wei Xiao had different personalities, he
couldn’t help but be partial towards this newcomer king.
After all, they had all come from the same youth training camp.
This bastard Zhou Xingfei had made use of his relationship with Bai Cai to
increase his own value.
He encouraged Bai Cai, “Don’t stay in that garbage team. Come with me to
AE. You can play support for me, and the two of us can definitely beat out a
bloody path!”
AE could be considered as a first rate team in the Chinese competition

zone, and their playoff results had always been very good.
Who wasn’t ambitious in the e-sports circle?
Back then, Bai Cai’s passion hadn’t yet faded. He was swayed by Zhou
Xingfei’s words.
“But I still have a year to go before my contract with Boro expires.”
Zhou Xingfei said, “Cancel the contract! How many years can professional
players play for? Why waste time in such a garbage team?!”
Bai Cai hesitated.

Zhou Xingfei asked him, “How much is the penalty for breach of contract?”
Bai Cai had always been sensitive to money, “About a million.”
Zhou Xingfei sneered, “It’s only one million. You’ve already been playing
professionally for a year. Haven’t you been able to save up that amount?”
Bai Cai was a support position player. The team didn’t value him, and they
hadn’t helped promote him. He wasn’t popular, and his livestream room
was cold and quiet whenever he streamed.
Zhou Xingfei saw that Bai Cai was hesitating and said, “Forget it. If you
don’t want to be my teammate, then I won’t ask you.”
These words stimulated Bai Cai. He said, “If we go to AE, will we be

starters?”
Zhou Xingfei: “Of course.”
Bai Cai paid over one million yuan in liquidated damages and terminated
his contract with the Boro team. As a result…
Zhou Xingfei had climbed up to new heights and was signed away by the
European club OD.
Bai Cai went to look for Zhou Xingfei. Zhou Xingfei felt no guilt at all,
“Go to AE. It’s not a problem. AE is much better than Boro!”
At that moment, Bai Cai understood that he had been blind. He’d been
played.
Wei Xiao hadn’t known that Zhou Xingfei had also come to attend winter
training.
This fellow actually dared to come see Bai Cai?
Who gave him such courage.
Was it an ambulance!
Wei Xiao opened up his cell phone and clicked a few things, then placed it
in his pocket and stepped forward, “Oh, isn’t this God Zhou?”
The three people from OD turned their heads and noticed Wei Xiao.
There was a cracking sound in Bai Cai’s heart. Wei Xiao’s current
appearance was the same as the one he’d seen just last night…
They were no longer in the youth training camp. If Wei Xiao hit someone,
he would be banned from playing!
Bai Cai ws just about to speak up when he heard Zhou Xingfei say, “Wei
Xiao?”
Wei Xiao stepped forward and spoke in English, “God Zhou, when are you
paying back the one million that you owe our White? Everyone present was
stunned for a moment.
Zhou Xingfei obviously hadn’t expected Wei Xiao to say such a thing as
soon as he appeared, and he’d also used fluent English, ensuring that his
teammates could all understand.
Zhou Xingfei tossed back, “Since when do I owe him money!”
Wei Xiao: “You important people all have many things to consider and are
often forgetful. Back then, you tricked him into terminating his contract,
then turned around, dusted off your butt and just left. Do you really not owe
him for that?”
Zhou Xingfei immediately defended himself, “When did I trick him? Didn’t
he go to AE afterwards?”
Bai Cai had indeed gone to AE. He didn’t play in a single game and sat on
the bench for an entire month before being tossed to the secondary team and
left to fend for himself.
Wei Xiao was too lazy to deal with his nonsense and got to the point, “How
about this. We’re all professional players, and fighting will get us banned
from playing. How about a training match instead?”
Zhou Xingfei: “Whatever.”
Wei Xiao: “If you lose, our White doesn’t want that one million back. It’ll
be a gift for you to buy a coffin with. But you have to bow to White and
apologize.
Zhou Xingfei was so angry he was laughing, “Why should I do that? Why
should our OD play a training match with your FTW?”
Wei Xiao’s tone was indifferent, “Because if your OD wins, I will

personally take out two million as your fee for your hard work.”
These words were spoken in English. The other people from OD were
shocked.
Two million wasn’t a small sum!
Bai Cai abruptly lifted his head and looked at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao narrowed his eyes, “You don’t dare to agree? God Zhou, how can
you be so spineless.”
xiin: badass Wei Xiao is so badass~

Ch55 - Go to FTW! If you can play
support for me, then you can
definitely play support for him!
ranslator: xiin editors: apricot & juurensha
Zhou Xingfei’s expression was very ugly.
Wei Xiao had forced him into a situation where he had no choice but to
fight.
Zhou Xingfei had noticed how popular FTW had been over the past two
days.
As a team that was on the downtrend in the China competition zone, not
only had they not fallen into becoming a garbage team, but they’d actually
stirred up such a big ruckus with their training match. Zhou Xingfei was
really unwilling to accept it.
Especially given that Bai Cai was still in FTW.
In the past year, Zhou Xingfei hadn’t had an easy time in OD. Even without
mentioning his own personal problems, his personal strength wasn’t enough
for him to be able to stand steadily in the European competition zone.
He was a newcomer. If it hadn’t been that he was able to take care of

himself, and the fact that Yan Jiang and Xie He, who were also Chinese,
had both managed to make outstanding achievements in the European
competition zone, OD wouldn’t have chosen him at all.
OD might not be one of the strongest teams in Europe, but they were strong
enough to leave the Chinese teams a few streets behind.
Zhou Xingfei, who’d suffered for a year before finally making some
progress, had originally wanted to show off to his ‘old friend’ in the training
camp. However, who could’ve known that Bai Cai would steal his
limelight?
The entire winter training camp was discussing FTW. Even OD’s coaching
team had come to him to ask about the situation.
Zhou Xingfei was good at dealing with these things, and he’d given a very
proper reply. He’d also deliberately stated that Bai Cai had once been his
teammate, and if necessary, he could help them arrange a training match.
He knew that the European zone looked down on the Chinese teams, and it
wasn’t likely that they would want a training match.
Especially since Zhou Xingfei was a rookie. If Bai Cai had been his
teammate, then it meant that he must also be a newcomer.
In FTW, other than Close, everyone else was a newcomer. No matter how
much they shouted and hollered, they were just blindly hopping and
jumping around.
That was the impression that Zhou Xingfei had purposely wanted to give.
Sure enough, the coach had lost interest and hadn’t mentioned it again.
The fire of irritation Zhou Xingfei felt in his heart was burning higher and
higher. Today, he’d unexpectedly run into Bai Cai in the restaurant, and he
couldn’t hold back for a moment longer!
Why was Bai Cai so lucky?
After being benched in AE for a month, he’d actually been picked up by

FTW. It was really great.
And FTW was very different this year. Was Bai Cai, this tight assed miser,
really going to make a comeback?
Zhou Xingfei really didn’t feel that he’d done anything wrong back then.
Man struggled upwards, while water flowed downwards. Why should he
have stayed in the country when he had a chance to step towards a bigger
future?
If nothing else, after staying in OD for a season or two, he would become a

star player that others fought over when he returned home.
With such a good opportunity in front of him, why wouldn’t he go? Was he
an idiot?
It was true that Bai Cai had helped him out a little when he was in the youth
training camp, but it wasn’t worth giving up his future for the sake of that!
Besides, he hadn’t forced Bai Cai to terminate his contract. Boro had been a
garbage team, and they’d disbanded the very next year. Bai Cai leaving
early had clearly been a good thing.
If Bai Cai hadn’t terminated his contract back then, would he be in FTW
eating and living well now?
The more Zhou Xingfei thought about it, the more he felt that he hadn’t
done anything wrong. He even felt that Bai Cai was attacking him instead.
Wasn’t it just something from the past, why was he treating it like it was so
important!
Zhou Xingfei: “A training match isn’t something I can…”
He really didn’t want to have this training match. It was risky no matter
how he looked at it. It hadn’t been easy for him to finally stand stably in
OD. He couldn’t afford to take risks!
His teammate spoke up, “Zhou, let’s do it!”
Zhou Xingfei was stunned.
A trace of ridicule flashed through Wei Xiao’s eyes. Zhou Xingfei saw it
and realized he’d fallen into a trap!
The player from OD said, “What’s there to be scared of? Is it even possible
for us to lose?”
The bait of two million yuan was too attractive. Anyone who heard about it
would feel excited.
Zhou Xingfei explained to his teammates, “But I didn’t trick him into losing
money. Why should I apologize?”
The OD team members were surprised, “How come you’ve already decided
that we’ll lose before we even play?”
Zhou Xingfei: “……”
A person who didn’t treat his former teammates like human beings,
shouldn’t expect his current teammates to treat him like a human being.
An apology was completely disproportionate to a bet of two million.
In the eyes of the other members of OD, a training match was just a matter
of losing nothing and feeling no pain if they lost and gaining two million if
they won. Why shouldn’t they play?
Zhou Xingfei was already in a position where he couldn’t back down, and
his teammates were dissatisfied with him, “Zhou, you really don’t trust us at
all.”
These words were rather heavy. Zhou Xingfei didn’t want to enter a conflict
with his teammates before the season even began.
He tried to defend himself, “I just feel that an unfair contest brings no honor
to the victor!”
His teammate: “Any game that’s won with strength is fair!”
Wei Xiao saw that the situation had basically heated up to where he wanted
it and spoke up again, “Since God Zhou has so many scruples, how about
we just drop it.”
Zhou Xingfei looked at him warily.
Wei Xiao continued, “Free matching is about to start. We’ll try to climb up
the scoreboard together. If FTW makes it to the top three, we’ll choose OD;
if OD makes it to the top three, then you guys can do as you like.”
Zhou Xingfei froze. It sounded as though Wei Xiao had taken a step back,
and it seemed as though he was giving him a way out.
FTW make it into the top three?
This little brat really dared to talk! Everyone knew that FTW had come in
seventh yesterday.
Since it was the first day of free matching, there had been many teams who
had a wait and see attitude. They weren’t in a hurry to score points, wanting
to explore other teams’ routines first so that it would be easier to grab the
bonus pool in the future.
However, that wasn’t the case for FTW. Zhou Xingfei had seen the records
for their fights, and the team’s 2+2+1 combination was one that was clearly
focused on winning points.
Although Zhou Xingfei hadn’t finished watching all their matches, after
picking out a random game, he could tell that they’d been playing very
seriously.
FTW had been serious about scoring points, but they’d ended up losing
messily.
With that level of skill, could they enter the top three today?
OD’s players couldn’t help themselves anymore, “Zhou, don’t worry, we

can definitely win!”
Someone was rushing over to give them money. Anyone who didn’t take it
was a fool!
Zhou Xingfei was left with no way out. He wanted to say that a training
match was something the coaching team had to decide on, and whatever he
said wouldn’t count since he was a player, but now… that argument had
been completely killed off when Wei Xiao mentioned the scoreboard.
Besides… he didn’t believe that FTW could make it to the top three!
Zhou Xingfei stared at Wei Xiao, “If you guys dare to make an
appointment, then of course we’ll play!”
Wei Xiao didn’t step back at all, “If you lose, you have to apologize to
White for tricking him into terminating his contract.”
Zhou Xingfei had originally wanted to continue explaining that he hadn’t

tricked Bai Cai, but when he thought about how nobody else was here and
how his teammates might blow up if he tried to push the situation any
further, he became more direct, “Fine!”
OD team member: “And what if you lose?”
Wei Xiao: “Your two million in labor fees, I’ll pay it in full.”
The people from OD left. Bai Cai grabbed at Wei Xiao’s arm, “Are you
crazy!”
How was this even related to anything? In order to make a statement, he’d
put down two million?
How motherf*cking retarded was that!
Wei Xiao: “If I didn’t do that, would those idiots be baited?”
Bai Cai was super anxious, “Do I even f*cking need his apology?”
Wei Xiao looked at him. His eyes were solemn and serious.
Whenever he wasn’t smiling, the features of this handsome youth who was
normally always grinning and cheeky would appear extremely cold. The
feeling he gave off even started to resemble Close.
Wei Xiao: “If it wasn’t for the sake of FTW, I would’ve sent him to the
hospital a long time ago!”
Bai Cai was shocked inside. A thick stream of heat trickled in like magma
and slowly filled up his chest, feeling so heavy that it was difficult for him
to speak.
What had happened back then…
Bai Cai had thought that he’d let it go a long time ago. Why should he keep
such a white-eyed wolf in his heart?
However, in reality, people’s hearts were soft. Once they had been
scratched, it would take a long time for them to heal.
In 2019, Bai Cai had only been 18 years old.
He’d followed Wei Xiao and experienced the hot blooded passion of e-
sports, then met Zhou Xingfei while in a helpless position, after suffering
from a cold welcome to reality with Boro.
Bai Cai had thought that he’d met a teammate, someone who was like Wei
Xiao, who was worthy of being trusted and followed.
Unfortunately, Zhou Xingfei was completely different from Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao was very inspiring and motivational. Even if it had only been in
the youth training camp, it had made Bai Cai feel the charm of chasing after
his dreams as a youth.
Zhou Xingfei only had the ability to talk and sell people. He talked about
following dreams, but in reality, it was all out of selfishness.
Bai Cai used one million yuan to terminate the contract. Not only had he
used up all the savings he’d put together, all of his own expectations and
dreams were riding on it as well.
As for Zhou Xingfei, he’d been relaxed and carefree as he abandoned him,
and had practically even stomped all over it before he left.
He’d crushed Bai Cai’s hopes and had almost crushed Bai Cai’s life.
How difficult had things been for Bai Cai back then?
He had no money and no team. He had supposedly entered AE, but because
there was no formal contract, he was faced with cold gazes and ridicule.
How desperate was it for an 18 year old youth to pass his days in such an
aimless way?
Bai Cai had really wanted to give up.
He’d packed up his things and prepared to go back to his hometown. He

could work or farm; he hadn’t graduated from high school, so there were no
future prospects there. Just being able to feed himself would be enough.
It had been Wei Xiao who’d insisted that he stay.
Wei Xiao had used a lot of energy to understand the cause and effect of the
whole situation, and he’d wanted to go and find Zhou Xingfei right then
and there.
Unfortunately, that scum had long gone abroad.
What’s more, it was pointless to go find him. He could beat him up to vent
his anger, but it wouldn’t solve anything.
Wei Xiao’s advice to him had been: “Go to FTW!”
Bai Cai hugged Soybean and smiled bitterly, “Even if FTW declines even
further, they’re still a powerful team within the country. Why would they
want a player like me with no achievements?”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were firm and confident, “Go and find Close, and tell him
that you can play support for him!”

Wei Xiao: “If you can play support for me, then you can definitely play
support for him!”
Bai Cai’s scalp tingled, and his hands trembled slightly, “But…”
Wei Xiao ignited his motivation with a single sentence, “What are you
cowering for, you’re about to go home and raise pigs, how about just going
for it one last time?”
Wei Xiao pulled him up and dragged him to the internet cafe. The two of
them constantly double queued, double queued, double queued.
Wei Xiao could basically simulate all the jungler talents that Close often
used. He used Close’s style to play jungler and led Bai Cai to adapt and
become familiar with it.
It was like this for one day, two days, three days…
Not only did Wei Xiao help him find the hand feel, he also helped him with
rhythm and direction.
One week later, Wei Xiao was full of confidence, “Go, Old Bai! Close will
definitely love you so much he won’t let you go!”
Bai Cai was amused into laughter, “Get lost, what kind of bullshit are you
saying!”
Wei Xiao thought about it, then retorted back at him, “Don’t judge the great
demon king based on how cold his face is. In fact, he’s a very good person.
Proper women are scared of being entangled. If he’s unwilling to play
double queue with you, then just set up camp on FTW’s floor and refuse to
leave!”
Bai Cai: “Get lost, get lost, get lost!”
Originally, he’d still been a little nervous. After being stirred up by Wei
Xiao, to hell with being nervous!
Bai Cai went to FTW.
He’d never even dreamed that he’d have the courage to say a sentence like,
“Close, I can be your support player!”
Close had given him a chance.
Bai Cai had indeed achieved it. In 2020, he accompanied FTW to win the
domestic championship and became China’s champion support player.
When Bai Cai thought of the past, his heart was full of mixed feelings.
How could there be such a huge gap between different people.
There was Zhou Xingfei, who made people feel sick, and there was Wei
Xiao, who gave people a new lease on life.
Bai Cai sighed, “… If a dog bites you, do you really have to go and bite it
back?”
Wei Xiao replied, “This matter should’ve been wrapped up a long time
ago.”
Bai Cai was still worried, “If you want to make an appointment for a
training match, just do it privately. Why did you have to make it a points
competition?”
The three training matches held every evening were also called the
competition for points, and it could be considered a livestream gimmick for
the investor daddies.
Wei Xiao’s voice was steady, “I want him to apologize to you in public.”
Simply saying sorry was nothing. He wanted Zhou Xingfei to apologize to

Bai Cai in front of all 18 teams, in front of the livestream camera, in front
of the whole audience!
Even if what happened in the past was a long time ago, even if nobody
knew about those things, he still wanted Zhou Xingfei to pay for what he’d
done!
Bai Cai’s heart felt like it was boiling hot, and the tip of his nose felt sour,
“Damn it.”
This doggy thing was really going to make him cry.
A series of footsteps rushed over. Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle were both
breathless and panting from running.
Ning Zhehan: “Brother, Brother Bai, you… are you all right!”
He’d hurried over just in time to see Bai Cai’s reddened eyes.
When Li Chun arrived at the FTW training room, Chen Feng and Xiang Liu
hadn’t been there.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle had just finished their meal and were
preparing to kill some soldiers to warm up and so that they’d have a better
feel for the game when they started the free matching games.
Li Chun had quickly told them about what was happening in the bathroom
of the restaurant.
These two little ones had rushed over anxiously after thanking him.
It was a big taboo for professional players to fight, especially in the training
grounds where everything was under monitoring.
It didn’t matter who started the fight; it would be troublesome to have it in

their records.
The competition committee couldn’t be blamed for being so harsh. It was

true that e-sports players were young and impulsive, yet it was also true that
they were very much in the public eye. It had been difficult for e-sports to
gain more of a positive reputation in recent years, and nobody wanted to
have this reputation tarnished.
Therefore, fighting was absolutely not allowed. If the punishment was mild,
the players would be banned from competing for a period of time. If it was
serious, they wouldn’t be able to compete for life. The penalties were very
heavy.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle saw that there were no signs of fighting
anywhere and let out sighs of relief.
When they’d heard Li Chun’s words, they’d rushed down in a hurry,

wanting to stop a fight from happening as soon as possible. They hadn’t
even dared to waste time calling Chen Feng.
Fortunately, nothing had happened with Bai Cai and Wei Xiao.
Bai Cai wiped his face messily and said, “It’s fine, why did you all run
over…”
He hadn’t finished speaking yet when Wei Xiao had already pulled the two
little ones over and started chattering, “Brothers, help me out.”
Ning Zhehan & Yue Wenle: “???”
Wei Xiao: “Some fool bullied our Brother Cai, and I was impulsive and
made a two million yuan training match bet…”
He summarized everything with a few words, and Ning Zhehan and Yue
Wenle were both muddled.
“Holy shit! Two million!”
Wei Xiao added fuel to the fire, “In fact, if we can’t make it into the top
three of the scoreboard today, it’ll be equal to me losing without even
fighting.”
Ning Zhehan was shocked, “You’ll have to give them two million?”
Wei Xiao nodded solemnly, “Yes.”
Not only Little Ning, even Old Yue sucked in a breath.

Bai Cai, who was to the side, “…………”
If he hadn’t been about to start crying, he would definitely go up and start

cursing. Wei Xiao, could you f*cking stop bullshitting ahhhhhhh!
Wei Xiao shook his head, “In fact, it’s fine if I lose money. The main thing
is losing face for our Brother Cai.”
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle didn’t know about what had happened to Bai
Cai back then.
Wei Xiao didn’t care about whether Bai Cai was shy about it or not, and he
told the two of them about how Zhou Xingfei had bullied Bai Cai.
They were all close brothers. They would share this bitter hatred and bully
that scum together!
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle instantly exploded in anger, “F*ck, that’s
going overboard!”
After listening to this black history a few more times, he didn’t even feel
the pain in his heart anymore.
Wei Xiao patted Little Ning and Old Yue on the shoulder and said solemnly,
“Fellow brothers, it will be a bloody battle today!”
Ning Zhehan was on fire, “We definitely can’t lose!”
Yue Wenle chomped down viciously on a mouthful of potato chips!
Wei Xiao made a closing statement, “For the sake of our Caicai’s
innocence, we must win!”
Bai Cai: “???”
Innocence, your sister! Could you speak with human words?!

Little Ning spoke in a small voice, “Hey, Brother Xiao, it’s ‘reputation’,
right?”
Wei Xiao thought about it and continued to be expansive, “For the sake of
Brother Cai’s desire and passion, we must win!”
F*ck you ahhhhhhh!!
They went to eat baked lobster to replenish their strength. Wei Xiao even
got a cup of watermelon juice that Brother Cai had squeezed out personally.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle went with them and ate another meal.
After they had eaten their fill, the four of them went upstairs.
When Chen Feng went over to check in on them, he was a little surprised,
“Are you not drawing lots today?”
Wei Xiao: “I’ll double queue with Brother Cai today.”
Ning Zhehan raised his hand, “Brother Le and I will double queue
together!”
Yue Wenle: “Mm.”
Bai Cai had a sore throat.
Lu Feng arrived five minutes before the free matching began, and saw that
the four little ones were full of fighting spirit.
He looked at Chen Feng, “?”
Chen Feng had already learned the full story, and his skull was pounding,
“You just keep indulging him!”
Lu Feng looked at Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao smiled at him, “Thanks, captain!”
Lu Feng was shaken by his words, “What’s the matter?”
Wei Xiao: “Thanks to the two million break-up fee you gave me, I was able
to act so fiercely today!”
Indeed. Wei Xiao had dared to throw down such fierce words because he
really did have money in his bank account.
It wasn’t the money he’d made from the accompanying player platform. It
was the two million that Lu Feng had sent to Wei Xiao.
It was the bullshit break-up fee that Wei Xiao had asked for.
Oh, it was the break-up fee that he’d planned and failed to give to his
‘girlfriend’.
Lu Feng paused for a moment, then corrected him. “It’s not a break-up fee.”
Wei Xiao blinked.
Lu Feng rubbed his soft black hair, “It’s private spending money.”
xiin: OMG EVERYONE! Check out this fanart that Egg and Rice (Egg and
Rice#4025) made of the FTW team~~ I quote: [ These are the expressions
of the other members of FTW that I imagine they would have after having
little lunatic Wei Xiao around for awhile. ]
aren’t they the cutest ahhhhhh!!!!

Ch56 - Captain, what do you mean
by private spending money?
Private-private spending money?
Even Little Lunatic Wei was confused for a moment.
The people in the training room didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly and
only wished they could dive beneath the tables.
Lu Feng glanced at him, “What happened.”
Chen Feng explained Wei Xiao’s ‘heroic deeds’ in two or three sentences.
It was inevitable that Bai Cai’s ‘pain’ was taken out and put on display
again.
Sure enough, if a wound was going to heal, it needed to be brought out into
the light.
In just one short hour, Bai Cai’s attitude had changed dramatically.
To hell with being depressed, to hell with having been betrayed. Did that
spicy chickenZhou Xingfei deserve any of that?! Did he deserve Brother
Cai’s despair?!
After listening, Lu Feng looked at Wei Xiao and said, “Don’t use your
private spending money. In the future, this kind of thing will come from the
club.”
The training room: “!!!”

Chen Feng’s eyes had popped so far out of his head that they had almost left
the universe!
Wei Xiao was instantly excited, “F*ck the captain is too good!”
Bai Cai’s mouth twitched. It was bad enough that he dropped such words;
couldn’t he add in some punctuation!? What the hell was this sentence.
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao was alerted and quickly changed his words, “Captain, you’re too
good!” His tone was very well-behaved.
The tip of Lu Feng’s ear moved slightly, but his expression didn’t change at
all, “Mm.”
Wei Xiao added, “However, you don’t have to worry. This money definitely
won’t be lost!”
He then looked at Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle, “Brothers, the captain is so
righteous and great, so we can’t let him down. In this battle, we’re fighting
not only for Bai Cai’s innocence, but also for the team leader’s generous
spirit!”
Bai Cai tried to explain weakly, “What damned innocence…”
Chen Feng also had a headache. When it came to injecting chicken blood, if
Wei Xiao claimed to be second best at it, then nobody would dare to claim
to be number one.
After Wei Xiao’s frenzied thoughts gradually cooled down, he thought

about the matter of private spending money again.
He was sitting next to Lu Feng. Because Brother Cai had been so lucky
with the matches yesterday, he was still the room host for their free
matching today, and the right to start queueing was in Brother Cai’s hands.
Wei Xiao just needed to idle and wait for the system to match them into a
game.
He leaned in and whispered to Lu Feng, “Captain, what do you mean by
private spending money?”
It was too difficult to ignore these words!
If these three words were put into Baidu, the results that came out would all
pertain to matters between boyfriends and girlfriends.
In order not to end up matching into the same game as them, Lu Feng
hadn’t started matching yet, “What do you think it means?”
Wei Xiao lowered his voice, “Could it be that the two million is your
private spending money? Do you have a girlfriend?”
Wei Xiao continued to dig for gossip, “Who is it? There’s been no hint of it,
captain…”
Lu Feng interrupted him, “Wei Xiao.”
Wei Xiao: “Here!”
Lu Feng: “That’s your private spending money.”
Wei Xiao was confused for a moment, “Ah?”
Lu Feng looked at him meaningfully.
Wei Xiao’s heart stuttered for a moment, and he inexplicably thought of

those messed up words he’d said himself––
My girlfriend is very powerful when working, but she’s very cute in

private…
She’s the cutest when she plays the fire mage, bouncing around and
jumping straight to the top of my heart…
F*ck, no way!
Lu Feng pushed lightly at his small head, “You’ve entered a game.”
Wei Xiao turned his head to look. Oh, he’d entered a game.
If they wanted to get into the top three on the scoreboard, it wasn’t simply
about winning. They had to win as many matches as possible within a
limited period of time.
So, time was critical, and every minute and second shouldn’t be wasted.
However…
Wei Xiao’s heart was itchy and uneasy. He always had the feeling that Lu
Feng was hinting something at him.
Was the captain really the boss?
The boss was his ‘girlfriend’, so his ‘girlfriend’ was giving him private
spending money?
Wei Xiao’s brain was full of crazy thoughts…
Bai Cai: “What are you using?”
Wei Xiao: “Shadow thief.”
After saying these two words out loud, Wei Xiao took a deep breath and
calmed down.
Their top priority was to score points and abuse those scum in the evening.
He mustn’t get distracted!
The matter regarding the private spending money wasn’t urgent. When they
went back to the room that night, he was going to find his ‘girlfriend’ and
ask questions until everything was out in the open!
Lu Feng gave him a sidelong glance. There was a hint of a smile in his
eyes.
He’d done it on purpose.
He’d stimulated Wei Xiao deliberately and flustered him on purpose.
What did it mean to be big-hearted?
It wasn’t just about being calm and self-sustaining on the court, but also
about being able to quickly calm down when encountering unexpected
situations and being able to function while under great pressure.
The charm of competitions lay in their unpredictability.
All sorts of accidents, changes, and incidents could occur during the fight.
Being able to adjust one’s mood under heavy pressure was the real proof of
mental strength.
Obviously, Wei Xiao had this ability.
He had a clear sense of priorities and was able to make adjustments.
This wasn’t something that could just be done by talking. Personality and
growth experiences also played a role.
When it came to Wei Xiao’s childhood, Lu Feng felt a thorn stab his
heart––
Behind excellence, there were always unknown sacrifices.
After entering the game, Wei Xiao completely stopped thinking about the
captain and the boss.
He controlled the shadow thief with the Red Sky Blade skin, and his heart
was filled with a different set of emotions.
This was the first time he’d maneuvered a hero as FTW’s jungler.
Although it wasn’t a formal match, although it was just a free match game,
although nobody else knew… the feeling Wei Xiao had was different.
It was as though, in this moment, he’d really come into contact with the
shadow thief.
He was really ready to try and carve out his name on this scarlet cloak.
Wei Xiao breathed lightly, “Old Bai, start with blue.” (Note: It means to
clear the mana regen/blue creep in the jungle first)
Bai Cai: “Okay.”
In the first game, Wei Xiao and Bai Cai pressured the other side from start
to end.
The shadow thief that was going at full strength pummeled the frost hunter
on the other side so much that his scalp went numb. In the later stages, his
opponent would use flash as soon as he saw the stealth indicator, but he was
still unable to dodge that fatal blade.
Chen Feng stopped behind Bai Cai.
As many top commentators and coaches had commented before, FTW’s

champion support was excellent, but he could be even better.
He had reached a level of play that was beyond reproach, but he’d never
thought of breaking through his own limits.
However, the current Bai Cai was different.
The cooled blood had been ignited, and the blood that was boiling with
passion flowed all over his body again!
In the second game, Wei Xiao and Bai Cai encountered Li Chun, the little
mid-laner who’d notified them about the situation with Bai Cai at noon.
Wei Xiao had already told Bai Cai about it, but Brother Vegetable hadn’t
had time to say thanks to him yet.
Wei Xiao spoke in the public screen, “Brother Chun, I’m sorry~.”
At this moment, Li Chun hadn’t realized yet what would happen. Then…
“Ahhhh!”
“Aahhhhh!”
“Aaahhhhhhh!”
The people in the 3U training room, “What’s wrong with you?”
Li Chun’s eyes were full of tears, “Quiet-Quiet is inhuman!”
As a mid-laner, a fortress-type mid-laner, his fatal weakness was that he

was squishy, and his legs were short.
When faced with this berserker thief that seemed to have gone crazy, Li
Chun’s fire mage was like a passive refresh machine. Yes… one whose
purpose was to give its life to the berserker thief!
After the game ended, Bai Cai looked at Wei Xiao, “Weren’t you a little too
cruel.”
Wei Xiao stretched his fingers and said, “I only went all out because we’re
brothers.”
After going through this experience, Li Chun’s name could be changed to

‘Bold Li’. What was there to be afraid of? What was so scary about a
berserker thief? Could it be as scary as Quiet?!
The two of them scored 12 points in one fell swoop. It was much more than
yesterday.
It wasn’t that the two of them hadn’t been playing seriously yesterday, but
they hadn’t really let loose.
One had always been thinking about training to play in the top lane, and the
other was always worried about losing money if their points went negative.
In that kind of situation, the reason why they’d still been able to win six
points when playing against professional players was all due to the tacit
understanding they had from playing together for so many years.
Today was different. Wei Xiao was like a wild horse that had been let loose.
He ran ahead crazily, and there was no way to stop him.
Under his leadership, Bai Cai could only work hard to catch up with him.
In the third match, they matched with the jungler from the Black Knights
who’d come in fifth on the scoreboard yesterday.
Wei Xiao: “The Black Knights are from the European competition zone?”
OD was also in Europe.
Bai Cai: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao: “Kill him!”
Black Knight’s jungler: “???”
This European jungler king who’d been solo queueing was inexplicably
targeted to death so refreshingly.
… What was up with this Quiet from FTW?
Wasn’t he playing the top lane position? Why was his jungler so fierce!
In the fourth match, they entered a doubles game.
The pair across from them were also old acquaintances. Previously, in the
performance games, Wei Xiao and Yuan Ze had come up against this
doubles pair from the South Korean competition zone.
The Chinese competition zone had given them a CP name that matched
their predecessors’ CP name––Carp CP.
The Carp combination had been cut down until they entered seclusion last
time when they came up against Wei Xiao’s shadow thief. At this time, they
were both tense when they saw him.
What… a coincidence!?
Wei Xiao chuckled gleefully, “Old Bai, stay close.”
Bai Cai: “There’s some lyrics that really suit you…”
Brother Cai started singing, “Your smile is like a vicious dog, biting down
on the back of his neck…”
What they didn’t know was that the fans watching these matches back in
China were so excited they were about to explode!
At first, very few people were watching their games. No matter how
amazing Wei Xiao was, he was still a newcomer.
In this kind of free matching where star players were as plentiful as trees in
a forest, everyone’s eyes were dazzled. It was like the emperors of old who
could choose from 3000 beauties in their harem. How could they have any
extra energy to spare?
However, anyone who went to watch Wei Xiao’s games had all stayed there
and couldn’t move away.
“These two are toxic!”
“Are they so strong???”
“This jungler is FTW’s top-laner, right?”
“Holy shit, has he gone crazy? How come his murderous intent is so
strong?!”
The ‘old’ fans who’d watched four full matches explained calmly,
“Remember to watch the replays, each game is a tear down game!”
The scrolling commenters were confused, “Tear down game?”

The fans who’d coined the phrase explained, “Tearing down the opponent’s
core into two, is a tear down game.”
After listening to this explanation, the passerby who’d clicked in to watch

inadvertently would hesitate for a moment and continue to watch.
And then…
Calling it ‘tear down’ was really too polite!
This was simply like watching a crazy dog play!
SK’s Ali and Ayu held their heads in their hands and wept bitterly after the
match ended.
What was going on?!
Hadn’t Quiet just entered the team? How come he and FTW’s support
player played together like old partners who’d queued for thousands of
games together?!
The two of them had really hit the nail on the head.
Over the past two years, over 600 plus days, the number of double queue
games that Wei Xiao and Bai Cai had played together was a shocking
number, high enough to rival the number of stars in the sky.
How should this be said? From a certain angle, Brother Cai’s luck was
really incredibly good.
Yesterday, they’d wanted to find excitement and stimulation, and Brother

Cai had matched them up with all kinds of old beasts, allowing Wei Xiao to
play happily even if they lost.
Today, they wanted to score points, and Brother Cai didn’t encounter even a
single thorn. In the whole process, he just watched as Wei Xiao rampaged
and charged up ahead, blowing up the entire canyon.
Unwittingly, after playing for more than three hours, Brother Cai started to
feel pain in his fingers that he hadn’t experienced for a long time.
Indeed…
Following after a Little Lunatic Wei, who was going at full speed ahead,
was enough to break his keyboard!
FTW was full of enthusiasm, and the other two teams were also working
hard.
Old G seized every minute and every second to score points that day. In
order to win more, he even went to double queue with his own team’s
support player.
The man who’d said that only weak players would double queue, had
actually slapped himself in the face in order to obtain first place!
However…
With 10 minutes to go, Old G, who’d won all his games that day, looked up.
Awesome!
L&P was winning with a three point lead.
The first place team had the right to choose their opponents for the training
match first. Today, he was going to hammer…
“Duck me!” Old G swore in Chinese with a thick, non-standard accent.
Yuan Ze had noticed the scoreboard a long time ago and knew what the
results were.
1st: L&P.
2nd: Pro.
3rd: FTW.
Old G was so angry he’d exploded into a ball, “Why is FTW third!”
Those in the top three could only choose opponents and couldn’t be chosen.
Old G, who’d worked hard for half a day––
Had he done all that hard work for nothing?
xiin: lol, poor Gary apricot: ah poor gary…if only he knew quiet had
already forgotten him…
Ch57.1 - Had FTW submitted the
wrong list?!
Inside L&P’s training room, Old G was sad and angry, “Quiet, you’re
f*cking with me!”
His own captain was indifferent and ruthless, like snow after the frost,
sweeping across like an irresistible force, “Did you actually believe his
words.”
Gary: “…………”
Don’t ask. If you ask, then he had already smashed himself dead against the
keyboard!
On Pro’s side…
Kim Sung-hyun wasn’t as ‘silly and sweet’ as Old G. He’d noticed FTW’s
scores soaring like a rocket a long time ago.
Why had Old G been able to win every game? It was because in the last
half an hour, God Kim had given up on treatment.
What was the use of grabbing first place?
The stinky brat had already broken their agreement!
The scoreboard results came out, and Kim Sung-hyun’s expression was
cold.
He looked very intimidating when he wasn’t smiling, especially with the

tear mole on his face that made him appear even more pale and chilly.
Out of the entire team, only Li Heran dared to poke him, “Water.”
Kim Sung-hyun handed over the water cup, “It’s your fault!”
God Kim spoke very reasonably, “Our luck is only good when you and I
double queue together!”
This afternoon, not to mention Wei Xiao, he hadn’t even met a single one of
FTW’s players. If he’d encountered any of them, he would’ve definitely
hammered them until they lost points in their next game too!
Did they want to stay steady in third place?
Had they asked the arrows in his hand for permission?
It was a pity that…
As only one half of the Koi combo, he was unable to get a luck buff.
The hearts of the teammates around him were full of complaints: Who was
it who’d insisted on single queueing right from the start, saying that it
would be faster to score points that way and not to waste time?
Li Heran was silent for a moment, “Okay, you’re right.”
Everyone in Pro: “…………”
Okay, the captain was really the captain. He was a true man who could
stretch and bend!
Free matching was over. Dinner finished in a hurry, and the training camp
ushered in that night’s points competition.
18 teams gathered together in one hall. The camera panned the scene, and
the lineups were in no way inferior to that of any official match.
It was just that the audience wasn’t fans, it was other players from around
the world.
The fans who were camped in the livestream room had started talking about
it enthusiastically a long time ago!
“Sure enough, there was no suspense about the 1st and 2nd place.”
“L&P and Pro were very serious this time. Look at Yan Jiang and Xie He
from Group B, they’re completely just playing around.”
“It’s really quite strange. The atmosphere in Group A is inexplicably

heated, and all of them are trying desperately to grab points.”
“Based on the rules for the points competition, there’s no need to be so

competitive in the early stages.”
“Exactly, exactly, it’s a bonus pool system. Isn’t it better to first wait and
see?”
“I don’t get it…”
“Who cares? This year, our China competition zone is really making a good
showing. Group A’s 3U and FTW are taking turns for third place, while
Group B’s Moon God and Euro God are taking turns for second place!”
“Damn, did you guys watch the Group B points competition last night?”
“Yeah, yeah, our RR’s really damned cool! They went straight for an
appointment with EVE!”
“Moon God took the immortal warlock and even took down EVE’s God
Xie!”
“Although RR lost, I think that RR’s become really strong this year. They
even made Xie He play seriously.”
“I feel that the four Chinese teams participating in winter training this year
are all very inspiring. There’ll be a good show to watch in the domestic
competition this year.”
“Aahhhh, I hope that this year’s China competition zone will make
achievements in the global championships!”
The host spoke a few routine sentences, then began to announce the start of
that day’s matches.
The first game was undoubtedly L&P’s. Old G went up onto the stage with
a bad expression on his face, glaring at Wei Xiao the whole time.
Wei Xiao: “???”
Wei Xiao was shameless enough to ask, “What’s up with Old G, is his eye
twitching?”
Bai Cai disdained him, “Damned scum man.”
Wei Xiao suddenly saw the light, “Hey, isn’t this all for your sake? I even
forgot about God G!”
Bai Cai inexplicably felt a chill run down his back and cursed, “Shut up,
you!”
Lu Feng was seated to Wei Xiao’s left. He immediately turned to act

coquettish, “Captain, Brother Vegetable is being mean to me!”
Lu Feng: “He’s right.”
Wei Xiao: “Eh?!”
Bai Cai wanted to change seats. It would be best if he was 800 meters away
from them!
The disgruntled Gary had the right to choose a team for his team’s training
match, but he wasn’t happy at all.
He was actually even angrier!
L&P chose the 4th place team.
Gary started to bombard the other side like crazy right from the start. His
rhythm was fast enough to fly up into the sky, smashing the other side until
their heads were bleeding.
Wei Xiao’s hands felt hot just watching it. He cursed, “Damn that Zhou
Xingfei!”
If it hadn’t been for that scum, he would’ve been able to go up against Gary
today.
Looking at Old G’s current state… it was a pity he’d missed out.
It had only been a short time, but when Bai Cai heard the name Zhou
Xingfei, he was already extremely calm and even felt unusual pity and
compassion for him.
He could’ve chosen to be anything, yet he chose to be a scum man. Just

wait for his punishment to arrive!
L&P’s opening match stirred up the audience. They won without any
suspense and pushed their own bonus pool to a new high.
One point was 1000 yuan. L&P’s bonus pool was now more than 300,000
yuan!
The points competition had finally started to snowball. If they continued on

according to this schedule, the bonus pool on the last day would be
extremely attractive!
The second game was Pro. The one who stepped up onto the stage first was
their transparent, unnoticed jungler––he was quite a handsome young man,
but he was often overlooked because of his quiet personality.
Kim Sung-hyun’s expression was ugly, looking neither left or right as he

acted like the remote flower of Kaolin that he was known for.
The livestream room’s scrolling comments were full of screams. This face
was very much to everyone’s tastes, and God Kim’s fans were spread out all
over the world.
Pro chose to play against 3U, who’d tried their best and gotten 5th place.
3U had been very stable during this training period. Although they’d
encountered some bad luck during the free matching and met with several
difficult opponents, their score was still quite considerable, and they’d
climbed up to 4th place. Despite not being able to take the initiative and
pick an opponent to play against, there was still a great chance that they’d
be chosen.
Like right now, they’d obtained the chance to play against Pro.
Wei Xiao was jealous again, “Asleep’s really good.”
Lu Feng whispered something to him in a low voice.
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up, “Really.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “Tonight…”
Lu Feng: “Once.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved into happy crescent moons, “Okay, okay, okay,
once is once. Captain, you’re really great.”
Bai Cai, who was to the side, “…………”
Although he knew that they were definitely talking about solo, his brain
inexplicably felt like it had gone to the gutter!
He wanted to switch seats ahhhhhh, it would be best if he could be seated

outside the hotel!
Pro’s game against 3U was very fun to watch.

At first, it could be seen that Pro wasn’t taking it seriously. After all, last
year’s 3U had made a round trip back home during the global
championships, and they didn’t even have a chance to fight against the
stronger teams.
Although 3U had played well against FTW yesterday, Asleep had been
suppressed by Close the whole time and hadn’t been able to play well. It
was very easy for them to overlook this sleepy new star.
But as soon as they entered the game, Kim Sung-hyun felt a sense of
familiarity.
When Asleep’s thief snuck over, Kim Sung-hyun was in a trance and had
the illusion that he’d been plotted against by Wei Xiao.
What was going on with the junglers from the China competition zone?
Had they all come together to become a pack of mad dogs this year?!
Asleep’s craziness wasn’t any weaker than Wei Xiao’s. With Cong Yi
escorting him, he was even able to touch Kim Sung-hyun despite the latter
being under Li Heran’s careful protection.
Kim Sung-hyun hadn’t used a flashy marksman like the storm hunter this
time. He’d taken the launcher who was extremely powerful in the later
stages. It had a long attack range, but it was very immobile. If there were
any errors with positioning, it was practically the same as handing his head
over for a kill.
The moment that Asleep was able to touch him, God Kim’s heart quivered.
The berserker thief’s scythe carved away over half of his health. If it hadn’t
been for Li Heran’s resurrection totem, Kim Sung-hyun would have fallen!
Pro, who originally hadn’t been playing very seriously, became serious due
to 3U’s fierce momentum.
Beneath the stage, Chen Feng spoke to the three little ones, “3U will be a
strong opponent for us in the domestic competition this year.”
Although they’d won against 3U only yesterday, 3U’s captain Asleep had
too much room for growth.
Last year, they’d already emerged as a strong team. This year, they were
even more mature. Asleep had been pressured to death by Lu Feng
yesterday and hadn’t been able to lead the rhythm for the team, which was
why FTW had won.
However, as soon as Lu Feng wasn’t there, the number of junglers who

could pressure Asleep across all of China could be counted on the fingers of
one hand.
There was no doubting Wei Xiao’s personal strength. He could beat Asleep
in solo games.
But when it came to experience with 5v5 games, Wei Xiao was a little
short.
It was really difficult to say who would win or lose if it came to a game
between the two of them.
Chen Feng continued, “3U’s current line-up really limits Pro.”
Not only were Asleep’s operations good, his mind was also unusually clear.
It could be seen from this match that they were very ambitious.
This was definitely a line-up that they’d come up with after studying Pro
thoroughly.
It was a little bit similar to L&P. They were both teams who took their
junglers as their core, and even if Asleep wasn’t as good as Gary, he wasn’t
far behind.
Coupled with Cong Yi’s support, it actually enhanced Asleep’s strength.
Chen Feng specifically pointed it out, “Do you see? This is a good support
player’s ability.”
A good support was like the lubrication for a team. They could make up for
their teammates’ deficiencies and allow them to play out 200% of their
ability.
Bai Cai was watching very seriously.
Cong Yi’s group control and counterattack was something he still

remembered.
It was a very wonderful game, even though 3U lost in the end.
The Kim Sung-hyun who was able to develop properly was too strong.
Asleep and 3U’s top-laner hadn’t been able to get close to him at all in the
later stages.
If they were unable to take down the other side’s ADC, then there was no
way to win a group fight.
The settlement interface popped up. Kim Sung-hyun accounted for 46% of
all the damage dealt, and it was a number that made everyone suck in a
breath.
It was really incredible.
The world’s number one marksman had a well-deserved reputation.
Everyone around them were talking about Kim Sung-hyun. They were all
shocked by his strength.
Only Lu Feng said something else, “Pay attention to Pro’s jungler.”
Chen Feng raised his eyebrows and marked something down on his
notebook.
Tang Chen said, “This jungler was silent and unnoticed, but he managed to
steadily hold back Asleep.”
3U had clearly taken a line-up that gave them an advantage against Pro and
played very well, pressuring Kim Sung-hyun at the start of the game.
However, once the game entered the middle stages, the situation had begun
to steadily grow one-sided.
Many people felt that it was because Kim Sung-hyun had started to take
part in the group fights, allowing Pro’s advantage to gradually increase.
However, if they took a closer look, they would discover that there was
something about Pro’s jungler.
His farm was low, his rhythm was slow, and he had a low sense of
existence, but his play was stable.
It was so stable that it shocked people’s hearts and made their flesh feel
numb.
Wei Xiao sucked in a light breath, “It really is a powerful team.”
Pro wasn’t labelled as a global powerhouse based on Kim Sung-hyun’s

strength alone.
To be able to walk up onto that high up stage, all five people in Pro had to
be very strong!
In a 5v5 competition, a single person was unable to get very far on their
own.
It was finally FTW’s turn. Wei Xiao was clearly itching for a fight as he
said, “Let’s go! Abuse those scum!”
Little Ning’s fighting spirit was charged full, “Okay!”
Bai Cai always felt that something wasn’t right. When they arrived up onto
the stage, he finally realized: Oh, how come their temperament made them
seem more villainous than that Garbage Zhou?!
There were two teams waiting to be called up beneath the stage.
One of them was naturally OD. They’d already done their preparations and
were ready to go up and make some pocket money.
Who was the other team?
Of course it was the 6th team in the rankings.
Today’s 6th place was the Black Knights from the European competition
zone. When they saw that FTW had come in 3rd, they’d held an emergency
meeting.
Black Knight’s jungler: “FTW’s top-laner Quiet is a beast!”
He’d bumped into him while single queueing and had been torn to pieces
alive!
The coach looked at the top-laner, “Try to resist the pressure. It’s enough to
be able to hold him in place.”
Black Knight’s jungler became even more desperate, “I’m f*cking going up
against Close.”
The coach comforted him again, “Don’t panic, just hold on!”
It was a five person team. Two of them could only hold on, and the rest of
them…
This was the Black Knight’s strategy, “We just need to find an opening in
the mid-lane and bottom lane, and we’ll be able to win the game!”
The Black Knights: “Yes!”
They’d formed such a careful plan and had made such a careful decision.
The five people from Black Knights were full of fighting spirit.
They really wanted to see what was so good about this team, other than the
great demon king, that made them so coveted by L&P and Pro!
The Black Knights, who’d done their mental preparations and were just
waiting to be called up to the stage, “???”
The host was also slightly surprised, “OD?”

Had FTW submitted the wrong list?!
In the scoreboard, OD was ranked 10th. They were a team with negative
points.
Although winning against a negative point team wouldn’t cause them to

lose points, it also wouldn’t add anything to their score. What was the point
in playing against them?
Not only was the host confused, the knights from the Black Knights team
were also roaring: Why not choose us!?
What was up with this FTW? How come they didn’t play according to
common sense?!
The audience that was watching the live broadcast were also wondering
about this.
“What’s this situation? What kind of shady transaction is there between

FTW and OD? Why are they making an appointment?”
“Is OD very strong? With all due respect, they aren’t even in the global top
eight, right?”
“Is FTW scared of losing?”
“Oh yeah, if they go for a weak team, they’ll be able to keep their points as
long as they don’t lose.”
“But, how can they guarantee that they’ll stay in the top three? They
weren’t in the top three yesterday. When they accumulate a larger bonus
pool, won’t it be even more miserable for them when they lose?”
“Don’t get it…”
“Inexplicable…”
Ch57.2 - FTW's jungler Quiet's
explosive first appearance!
The only people who knew the truth were in the OD team.
Zhou Xingfei’s other skills were unknown, but his mouth was really slick.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to coax the 18 year old Brother Cai
until he was going around in circles.
The OD team was actually quite normal. In this world, there were only a
few outstanding people, and basically everyone else was just normal.
When Zhou Xingfei had gone back to the team, he’d exaggerated and
embellished on the situation and even managed to fool OD’s coach.
“That’s too arrogant!”
“Do they really think that their win is guaranteed?”
“Zhou didn’t do anything wrong. Why are they insisting that he should
apologize?”
“Yeah, is signing a contract something to play around with? That support

player from FTW wasn’t careful, yet he still goes around blaming others?”
Zhou Xingfei sighed, “It’ll be good to make a clean break, too. After
winning, the accounts between the two of us will be cleared.”
His teammates: “You can’t let him off so easily, they have to pay a price!”
Zhou Xingfei: “What’s more, none of it is written in black and white. Isn’t
two million something he just said as a joke?”
If he had a choice, he really didn’t want to fight.
The mid-laner who’d been with Zhou Xingfei when he went up against Wei
Xiao said, “What do you mean, a joke? We all heard him. If he plans to
renege, then I’ll expose him on the spot.”
Zhou Xingfei didn’t believe that Wei Xiao would take out two million. He
simply pushed the boat along and said, “If he doesn’t go back on his words,
then I don’t want a single cent of this money. I’ll give all of it to the team.”
His teammates’ eyes lit up, and they were much more motivated.
Zhou Xingfei kept feeling uneasy about this. He really didn’t want to lose.
However, since he had to fight, then he should try to increase his chances of
winning.
OD’s current strategy was to wait and see.
Over these two days of free matching, OD had always had a negative score.
It wasn’t that they were unable to grab points, nor was it because they were
unlucky and had met difficult opponents.
It was that they simply didn’t want to gain points.
Those who had high scores were like chickens waiting for slaughter. They
were also out in the open and were observed and researched by various
other teams.
Those who were really aiming for the bonus pool wouldn’t start to make
their move now.
Waiting for the right opportunity was the right way to do it.
They didn’t understand what L&P and Pro were so crazy about. Did they
really think that they wouldn’t lose? They’d accumulated so many points,
and it was like they were just packing themselves up as a gift for someone
else.
Zhou Xingfeng used the short amount of time over the afternoon to do a
good job of emotionally motivating the OD team.
This was a training match where they could make a steady profit.
Regardless of whether it was points or pocket money, they wouldn’t make a
loss with this deal at all.
He also worked hard to whitewash himself so that the coaching team

wouldn’t think that he was troublesome. He also set it up so that his
teammates would think that he was generous.
With one fell swoop, Zhou Xingfei had played his cards very well.
Regardless of the reason, since FTW had chosen OD, OD had to agree and
fight.
The points competition match started, and both sides entered the BP
segment.
OD wanted to win, so they’d definitely done their homework. They started

to target Close like crazy, allocating all six ban spots to the jungler position.
Chen Feng frowned, “Today…”
No matter how popular the points competitions were, they still weren’t
proper games, and there was no need to submit a list with each player’s
position. So, for this match, either Lu Feng or Wei Xiao could play jungler.
Based on Chen Feng’s understanding of Wei Xiao, the shadow thief,

berserker thief, hidden thief, sword warlock… they’d all been banned. This
was targeting Close, but it had also shackled Wei Xiao.
If Wei Xiao played jungler, this would be his first appearance in that
position. If he messed up because he was targeted like this, then what?
Close: “It’s fine, let him play jungler.”
Wei Xiao wasn’t scared at all, “Help me take the immortal thief.”
Chen Feng frowned.
Close’s lips curved, “Then I’ll use the flying warrior.”
Coach Chen: “Fine.”
You guys are really playing recklessly!
The Bai Cai who never offered up an opinion during BP spoke up, “Can
you help me get the medicine warlock first?”
OD had allocated all the ban positions to Close. This resulted in many
talents that were strong in the current version of the game being released.
For example, the medicine warlock that had been very popular recently. It
was a very overbearing support talent spec.
Warlocks were a very versatile profession. The talent specs included mage
types, assassin types, support types, and even core damage dealers.
The medicine warlock was a support type talent spec. It could be used as a
functional support, or an explosive healer.
Chen Feng asked him, “You’re using it?”
Bai Cai: “Yes.”
Chen Feng: “Okay.”
Ning Zhehan immediately said, “Then I’ll take the ice mage!”
The frost mage had more control skills and was very useful in providing
group fight control that the medicine warlock was lacking in.
Chen Feng nodded, then asked Yue Wenle, “The line-up is a little squishy.
Will you take the storm hunter?”

After FTW finished selecting their line-up, OD breathed a sigh of relief.
“They’re crazy. The immortal thief and flying warrior is already squishy on
top of squishy. They even added a medicine warlock?”
“FTW’s support doesn’t really use the medicine warlock, right? The
difference in this hero is like heaven and earth if it’s not played well.”
“The ice mage can supplement some control ability, but it’s just that
movement speed. It’s probably going to die before it plays out any effect.”
“Zhou, don’t worry. Our win is guaranteed for this match.”
Zhou Xingfei was actually a little flustered.
Bai Cai rarely used the medicine warlock, but Zhou Xingfei knew that Bai
Cai could actually use it.
The medicine warlock was a very strange support talent. In Glory right
now, the one who could use it the most brilliantly was Y1’s Yan Jiang.
The medicine warlock didn’t have any control skills and wasn’t suited for
starting group fights, but it had a characteristic that none of the other
support talents had––it had high DPS.
The medicine warlock was a hero that had two forms. After switching, it
was equivalent to having eight skills. If the player could use it properly, the
medicine warlock could heal his teammates to heaven during a group fight
while simultaneously dealing excessive damage to his opponents.
In last year’s global finals, Yan Jiang’s medicine warlock had cut off L&P’s
championship dream in the decisive game.
It was also because of that match that the medicine warlock had become
such a popular talent.
The audience that was watching the live broadcast were also discussing
amongst themselves.
“Has God Bai used the medicine warlock before?”
“This vegetable fan wants to say… yes.”
“How was it, was it amazing?”
“How should I say this, he obtained 22 kills in an international server

game.”
“Holy shit, that’s strong!”
“Emmm, it was the professor pampering the vegetable.”
Someone who didn’t know the situation asked, “Who is the professor?”
“FTW’s Quiet. In the past, his game ID was professor.”
“Quiet pampered Bai Cai?”
“A good top-laner is a jungler who spoils his own support, get it?”
“Then, is Bai Cai’s medicine warlock strong or not?”
“I don’t know…”
They really didn’t know, because in the games where Bai Cai used the
medicine warlock in the livestream, the professor had always been playing
with him: This amazingly strong jungler would forcibly start the fights and
leave the opponents who were at critical health for Bai Cai to kill.
22 kills was something that also carried a sense of irony.
It was just unknown who exactly it was making fun of…
After the line-up was locked in, the livestream audience went crazy.
“Wait a minute! What’s going on with FTW!”
“Holy shit, Quiet is playing the immortal thief?”

“Could it be that the flying warrior is going to be the jungler?”
“How could that be? The immortal thief took the jungler skill!”
“Is it that Quiet forgot to switch heroes with Close?”
“Even if they’re a newcomer, it shouldn’t be to the point where they make

such low-level mistakes!”
Finally, someone spoke out the truth that the fans didn’t even dare to think,
“Could it be… that FTW’s jungler has been changed?”
A pebble stirred up a thousand waves. The scrolling comments instantly

exploded.
“Impossible!”
“Definitely impossible!”
“Don’t spread misinformation. Even if FTW is done for, Close will still be
playing jungler.”
Countless scrolling comments almost covered up the livestream room

completely, making it so that the match couldn’t be seen clearly.
The rational fans spoke, “Do you have to be so crazy about this? Close’s
jungler is toxic. Isn’t this common knowledge in Glory?”
“If he’s really switched lanes, then I can stop being a hater and become a
fan again.”
“Stop kicking up a ruckus. Can’t you just watch the game.”
Indeed, the match had already started.
FTW’s side: Flying warrior, immortal thief, ice mage, medicine warlock,
storm hunter.
OD’s side: Blood warrior, power thief, fire mage, giant shaman, gold
hunter.
From a line-up perspective, OD’s likelihood of winning was higher.
The blood warrior had an advantage over the flying warrior.
The power thief could stabilize OD’s overall situation.
The fire mage’s passive ability gave it a random chance to escape control
skills, and it was very suited for going up against the ice mage that was
good at control.
The giant shaman was a strong, tanky support. With it blocking the way in
front, FTW would be at their wits’ end.
Although the gold hunter couldn’t beat the storm hunter at the start, its DPS
would explode in the later stages, and a single arrow would be enough to
take down a squishy creep.
Just when everyone had decided that FTW was at a disadvantage and would
choose to develop steadily in the early stages, the immortal thief, flying
warrior, and medicine warlock all rushed into OD’s top lane jungle area
right at the start of the match.
Commentator A: “Are they going to take the other side’s jungle?”
Commentator B: “It seems possible. OD’s power thief is in the bottom lane
jungle area, and the top jungle is completely empty.”
Commentator A wasn’t optimistic, “If a group fight starts, FTW’s side is

going to suffer.”
The flying warrior and immortal thief were very flexible, but they were
very squishy in the early stages. The medicine warlock didn’t have its
double form until level six and could only be considered as half a hero
before then.
If these two and a half people were caught by OD, they would collapse!
Commentator A: “Their DPS is too high!”
Indeed. Wei Xiao and Lu Feng had taken Bai Cai and dared to go into their
opponent’s jungle, but it wasn’t a brainless move.
Bai Cai’s medicine warlock had started in DPS mode at the start of the
game. He had ample magic damage from its first skill.
The flying warrior and immortal thief might be squishy, but their DPS was
high enough to make them ADs.
Coupled with the medicine warlock’s magic damage and physical damage,
as well as its passive that allowed the damage to stack, these three people
swept through the jungle extremely quickly. It was as though they’d
practically swept through half the jungle area in the blink of an eye. By the
time OD reacted, the three of them were long gone.
With its high damage and high mobility, Wei Xiao’s immortal thief had
taken three buffs at the start of the game. While Zhou Xingfei was still only
at level 5, he’d already reached level 6.
A level 6 immortal thief that now had an ultimate move underwent a

qualitative change.
What made people more surprised was that the medicine warlock was
almost at level 5 as well!
Wei Xiao stared at the screen, “Old Bai, let’s go.”
Bai Cai: “Mm.”
Zhou Xingfei was OD’s jungler position. He’d lost half of his jungle at the
start of the game and his development was behind. Fortunately, the power
thief was more functionality-based than farm-based. Otherwise, based on
the start of this game, OD would’ve already lost half the game.
Zhou Xingfei: “Shaman, come with me. The enemy jungler’s already at
level 6!”
OD’s support: “Will the immortal thief dare to find the power thief for a
fight in the early stages?” Even if it had an ultimate move, it was still
difficult for the immortal thief to take away the power thief’s life with a set
of skills.
Zhou Xingfei still felt panicked, “Come quickly!”
Unfortunately, it was a little too late. The immortal thief’s second skill burst
out accurately into his face. One set of combos instantly landed a pile of
damage, and the immortal thief that was standing in mid-air caught Zhou
Xingfei completely off-guard.
Zhou Xingfei: “F*ck!”
Fortunately, the power thief was quite tanky and was able to hold on.
His own support player ran over quickly, and the holy priest’s heal landed
on his body, helping him recover a small portion of his health.
OD’s support: “The immortal thief has no skills left, attack!”
A medicine warlock who wasn’t yet level 6 was nothing but trash and
wasn’t even worth mentioning.
Zhou Xingfei also wanted to take down Wei Xiao…
System announcement: Red side’s FTW.Close killed an ancient creature!
Zhou Xingfei’s heart crackled. OD’s support yelled, “Retreat!”
The medicine warlock reached level 6!
Because Close, who was far away in the top lane, had killed the ancient
creature, the entire team had gotten an experience and farm bonus.
The medicine warlock that had originally still been level 5 suddenly
levelled up, and the Bai Cai who now had an ultimate move tossed out an
entire set of damage skills. The Zhou Xingfei who was only at half health
immediately toppled over and died.
OD’s support was stunned for a moment, but his reactions were quick, and
he turned to run.
Wei Xiao chuckled, “Where are you running off to.”
Bai Cai instantly switched forms. He had previously just harvested a kill but
was now a powerful healer. He healed and gave shields, piling it all up onto
the immortal thief’s body as though it didn’t cost anything. The Wei Xiao
who was flashing with silver light used three linked displacement moves
and pulled OD’s support life into his pocket.
Commentator A was shocked, “This cooperation…”
Commentator B: “How strong!”
The scrolling comments were also shocked, “These two are awesome!”
“Is Bai Cai that amazing?!”
“Isn’t he a notoriously unimpressive player?”
“Why is it that they’ve only changed a jungler, yet it feels like the support
has also been changed?”
“You guys, take a look at the top lane. Begging you to look at FTW’s top
lane! Our great demon king is too strong!”
In this opening––Bai Cai took down first blood, and Wei Xiao took down a
kill.
However, the hero behind the scenes was Close.
When FTW entered OD’s jungle, Close had helped Wei Xiao deal damage,
but he hadn’t done any farming.
He’d timed it accurately and returned to the top lane without losing a single
soldier. He’d even pressured OD’s blood warrior until he had to retreat
beneath his tower.
While Wei Xiao and Bai Cai went to kill Zhou Xingfei, Close had made use
of his advantage in the top lane to head over and take down the ancient
creature.
Close’s timing was too fierce. When he killed the ancient creature, he’d sent
Bai Cai to level 6.
This was why the medicine warlock had been able to use both forms, and
also the reason why FTW had been able to score two kills!
The key point of this entire chain reaction was Close, who hadn’t even
appeared in the group fight!
The fans in the scrolling comments howled like they had voices, “It turns
out that the great demon king is the great demon king no matter where he
is!”
Yuan Ze, who’d been off-stage, had originally been leaning lazily against
his chair. At this moment, he couldn’t help but sit up straight.
The black ear stud flashed in the lights, and his eyes were very deep.
Gary was shocked, “Close’s control over the arena…”
Yuan Ze’s lips curved, and his tone was meaningful, “This is the liberation
of a wild beast.”
Sure enough, they really weren’t meant to be teammates.
They were opponents.

Ch58 - A support player could also
tear into the enemy’s throat!
The fans who’d previously collapsed because Close wasn’t playing jungler
all came back to life on the spot and transformed into shrieking chickens.
“Aaaahhhh! The great demon king is so handsome!”
“This invincible control, the great demon king is actually so well suited for
the top lane!”
“The flying warrior is so handsome, so handsome! Elegant, free, and easy,

yet also enigmatic. That’s our Close!”
FTW’s operations department were all staring at the scrolling comments

and Weibo reviews.
Sure enough, Lu Feng had spoken correctly…
As long as he was strong enough, the fans would be able to accept it.
Using this kind of start to announce a change in direction was smart.
Unlike all the onlookers, Chen Feng, who was beneath the stage, had been
constantly watching the match without looking away for a second.
The coach was the sixth person in a team. He didn’t join the battlefield, but
he was still an important part of the team.
Not only did he have to deploy the right heroes and make good
arrangements during the BP segment, his heart was also tied to the five
people in the team while they competed on the stage.
Nobody knew them better than Chen Feng did, and nobody understood this
team better than Chen Feng did.
––It was new and raw. Even if they were full of vigor and passion, they
were still hovering anxiously on the edge of a cliff.
Who would dare to think that this was the first competition they’d played
together after switching lanes?
They hadn’t trained for it, and they hadn’t even queued for ranked games
together as a team. But they’d gone up to engage in a major match anyway.
And it was a game where they were fighting for their teammate’s honor!
Thanks to Little Lunatic Wei’s ability to incite the team, the entire team
didn’t seem to feel any pressure at all, and everyone was putting in their
best efforts to win.
But what if the battle situation led to their defeat?
The pressure that had been covered up by their passion would all then well
up to the surface.
Being afraid to lose was the most deadly mindset.
In this game, FTW was shouldering Bai Cai’s past, the two million yuan
promise, and also carrying the burden of having the first time the team
switched positions broadcast across the world!
Would their mentality remain stable after they realized this?!
Chen Feng was the sixth member of the team, yet also a bystander. He
could see this hidden danger beneath the passion.
They couldn’t lose. They could only win.
That was pressure as big as the sky!

Chen Feng didn’t dare to mention any of these things. He didn’t even dare
to bring it up with Lu Feng.
Lu Feng was FTW’s head, but he was also one of their starters.
Discussing this with him before the match would have only affected his
mentality.
No matter how determined a person was, they would still be affected by

emotions.
Even if it was an effect as light as the flap of a butterfly’s wings, the

consequences were still immeasurable.
The arrow was already nocked on the string. Chen Feng couldn’t say any of
this and could only let them carry this kind of heated passion onto the
battlefield.
But, he was worried.
He was afraid that once OD had gained the advantage, the FTW that had
calmed down from their initial frenzy would start to grow worried––
If they lost, what would happen to Bai Cai?
If they lost, what would happen to Wei Xiao, who’d put down two million?
If they lost, what would the fans, who had a massive amount of opinions
about switching positions, do?
Once they started thinking about this, could they still manage to play
steadily?!
Chen Feng was so nervous that he was biting his thumbnails, and even
sitting still was difficult.
Tang Chen, who was sitting next to him, saw this and laughed at him,
“What are you scared of? They can do it.”
Chen Feng ignored him: He really envied this big fool who could laugh
during any kind of situation!
FTW’s rhythm flowed smoothly in the early stages. Once Wei Xiao
obtained the advantage, he would pursue vigorously and attack fiercely.
The immortal thief and medicine warlock’s cooperation was on point.
The immortal thief was a mid-stage hero. After its farming snowballed, and
it became powerful ahead of time, it would be able to force the power thief
into seclusion.
Not to mention that there was a medicine warlock there to supplement

damage and give heals. It was really enough to frustrate OD’s shaman to
death. It couldn’t protect the power thief, yet if it didn’t even try, then the
power thief’s health would collapse directly.
Seeing how OD’s situation continued to deteriorate, Zhou Xingfei said

fiercely, “Support, go follow the bottom lane!”
They couldn’t lose; he definitely couldn’t lose to a Chinese team that was
already on its way downhill!
OD hadn’t made it into the top eight of the global competition last year, but
it was still a very good team, much better than the FTW that had done a
round trip back home.
They could be considered a seed team for the European competition zone
and weren’t a weak team that could be crushed so casually.
FTW’s actions at the start of the game had taken them by surprise, and Wei
Xiao, Lu Feng, and Bai Cai’s invasion of their jungle area had caused them
to lose their rhythm. After that, Zhou Xingfei had been targeted like crazy,
causing their momentum to continue to deteriorate.
However, in the professional arena, there were countless reversals.
So what if they had a big early stage advantage? Any professional player
who could go up and play in the arena all had the belief that they could
eventually launch a desperate counterattack!
The OD team quickly calmed down. The suggestions that Zhou Xingfei
gave were also very reliable.
His power thief was already useless, and having the support position follow
him was no longer meaningful. Since Wei Xiao and Bai Cai were targeting
him, then let them continue doing so!
OD’s top lane couldn’t suppress Close, but there were opportunities to be
found in the mid-lane and bottom lane.
OD’s captain said, “Don’t be scared. FTW’s mid-lane is a newcomer, he’s a

breakthrough point!”
OD’s mid-laner: “Understood.”
Chen Feng, who was beneath the stage, could already see the signs, “OD’s
come back to their senses.”
His voice had just fallen when a fight broke out in the middle lane.
Ning Zhehan’s ice mage was a control type mage. It was slightly weaker
when it came to damage, but as long as its prejudgment was accurate
enough, it could play out extremely effectively.
Zhou Xingfei went to support the mid-lane. Ning Zhehan accurately placed
a skill on the ground and was actually able to freeze OD’s fire mage and
Zhou Xingfei at the same time.
He was delighted and sent a set of damage skills over, wanting to kill the
two of them.
Unfortunately, it was a trap.
Zhou Xingfei was frozen, but the fire mage was able to break his control
skill with his passive ability. He was only frozen for a moment, and then he
sent a set of high burst damage skills right at Ning Zhehan’s body.
Ning Zhehan reacted very quickly. He knew that there was a chance that the
fire mage would break out of his control, so his positioning was relatively
far back. However, he’d never thought that the fire mage would be so
daring and use flash to get right up to his face before attacking him with all
his skills.
Mages were all squishy. Ning Zhehan couldn’t hold up at all and died on
the spot!
The screen would darken after a hero died. Ning Zhehan was stunned for a
moment, and his hands trembled.
How strong…
This fire mage…
They both played the mid-lane position. Ning Zhehan was absolutely
certain that he couldn’t do the same thing.
Operating a fire mage wasn’t difficult, but there was a delay before the
skills landed. It was very difficult to use a set of skills to land such a precise
strike…
Because Ning Zhehan had died, one of the middle lane towers fell. FTW’s
instantly lost half of the advantage they’d gained from the first half of the
game.
Off-stage, Chen Feng cursed quietly, “F*ck!”
Whatever they were afraid of would happen. Those bastards from OD had
indeed started to target Ning Zhehan.
Ning Zhehan’s heart was chilled.
After losing the mid-lane tower, FTW’s jungle area was no longer
protected. It was an extremely serious mistake.
It was because of him…

Wei Xiao’s voice transmitted over from the headset, “Little Ning, your
prejudgement is pretty good.”
Ning Zhehan was stunned.
Wei Xiao had already cleared out his own jungle area and didn’t give OD
any opportunity to invade. He continued, “You froze two of them in one go,
amazing! Wait for me to come support you!”
Although Ning Zhehan had been killed by OD’s fire mage, he had indeed
managed to control two people…
Ning Zhehan’s plummeting emotions instantly lifted back up, “Yeah!”
Wei Xiao crouched in the mid-lane grass patch and egged Ning Zhehan on,
“Go and tempt him.”
Ning Zhehan’s movements were cautious and timid without the tower’s
protection behind him.
Wei Xiao evaluated, “Not bad, not bad, your pitiful attitude really makes it
look like you’re in need of a beating.”
Ning Zhehan: “……………………”
Bai Cai couldn’t help but scold him, “You damn…”
Wei Xiao: “They’re here!”
His movements were even faster than his own words, and he launched
himself at OD’s fire mage’s face almost instantaneously.
The fire mage was startled, but his hand moved extremely quickly as he
tossed his control skill onto Wei Xiao’s body.
Wei Xiao: “Ice mage!”
Ning Zhehan discovered that his hands acted faster than his brain. He’d
already frozen the fire mage in place very precisely.
The fire mage’s passive ability to remove control effects was random and
couldn’t be triggered every time.
So…
The ice mage’s ultimate move sent a long blue dragon charging over. It
drilled out a huge hole in the fire mage’s small body.
The system announced, the ice mage killed the fire mage!
Wei Xiao: “Nice!”
There were goosebumps all over Ning Zhehan’s arms from excitement, and
his fighting spirit soared once again, “Yeah!”
What was there to be scared of? So what if the fire mage was better? He
had frozen him in place, and he had killed him! His skills were very
accurate too!
Off-stage, Chen Feng froze for a moment.
Tang Chen laughed loudly, “I told you you were worrying for nothing.”
“……”
Mother Hen Chen still couldn’t relax, “Don’t be happy so soon. OD’s
marksman has finished developing.”
This was the real hidden danger.
Regardless of how FTW was currently doing, there were inherent

disadvantages to FTW’s line-up.
The flying warrior’s damage wouldn’t be able to keep up in the later stages.
Fortunately, OD’s top-laner had been hammered into uselessness a long
time ago.
The immortal thief and medicine warlock’s damage was significant, but
after OD’s giant shaman built up its tankiness, they wouldn’t be able to
touch OD’s gold hunter.
Yue Wenle’s storm hunter was played well, but he hadn’t been able to put
pressure on the gold hunter in the early stages and could now only wait for
death in the later stages.
FTW’s line-up tended towards the early stages, while OD had a late stage
line-up.
This European seed team had sacrificed their team’s toolman power thief
and turned their bottom lane gold hunter into their core.
30 minutes into the game, FTW fans began to get nervous.
OD began to stick together as a team, and it was clear that FTW couldn’t
fight group battles.
The storm hunter’s DPS wasn’t high enough, while OD would be able to
deal explosive damage as long as they were able to circle around and
protect their daddy gold hunter!
There were several skirmishes between both sides, which all ended in
FTW’s retreat.
Close: “Ambush.”
When faced with this kind of situation, they had to calm down and find an
opportunity to target the gold hunter on his own, killing him in one go. Only
then would they be able to win a group fight!
And at this time, as long as they were able to win a group fight, they would
have won the game.
Wei Xiao said, “The captain and I will ambush the gold hunter. Old Bai,
you go with Old Yue.”
There was nothing wrong with this arrangement. The flying warrior and
immortal thief were extremely mobile. As long as the two of them were
able to ambush the gold hunter and burst him down, FTW would be able to
win the game!
But…
OD had clearly seen through their intentions.
They protected the gold hunter like crazy, using the giant shaman’s huge
body to protect the gold hunter completely. They didn’t give the other side
even the tiniest opportunity to attack.
With such heavy protection, it was very difficult for the flying warrior and
the immortal thief to find any opportunities for an ambush. If they rushed
in, they would die.
If the game continued to drag on like this, FTW would have no chance of
winning.
Right now, it was just the gold hunter who’d finished developing. Once the
farm rate sped up even further, FTW wouldn’t be able to beat OD at all.
The scrolling comments started to grow negative again, “Can this Quiet do
it or not? If my Close was the one playing the immortal thief, he would’ve
killed the gold hunter a long time ago!”
“It’s just a gold hunter. Yet a jungler who’d developed so well isn’t able to
cut him down?”
“If you can’t kill the c-position, what’s the point in being a jungler.”
“Like I said, there’s a problem with FTW’s line-up. What’s the point in
picking the medicine warlock? Isn’t this just exposing a bunch of
weaknesses? So what if they’re fierce in the early stages? The medicine
warlock is too squishy and can’t even control anyone. I really want to see
how they plan to deal with the gold hunter.”
It had to be said, the audience had indeed pointed out FTW’s current
dilemma.
What should they do…
Wei Xiao was just about to speak up when Bai Cai suddenly said, “I’ll go.”
Wei Xiao froze.
Close asked, “Can you do it.”
Bai Cai: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao woke up, “Are you going to f*cking…”
Bai Cai: “The rest is up to you guys.”
He finished speaking, and the medicine warlock charged in.
The commentators were surprised, “This…”
Commentator B raised his voice subconsciously, “It’s God Yan’s heartbeat

style play!”
Commentator A: “Can he do it?”
Commentator B: “Whether or not he can do it will depend on how White

plays his medicine warlock!”
Yan Jiang was an expert with the medicine warlock, and he’d played a
wonderful scene in last year’s world finals.
At the time, Y1’s predicament had been similar to FTW’s. L&P’s late stage
line-up had started fighting back, and their double c-position damage was
strong enough to explode. Y1’s line-up that was relatively squishier was
unable to find an opportunity to fight back.
Later, it was Yan Jiang’s Medicine warlock, a support type hero, who’d
pierced through L&P’s nest!
The medicine warlock had two forms, and there was a cooldown time when
they switched. However, as long as the skills and basic attacks were linked
together well, it could lessen or completely clear the cooldown time. That
meant that as long as a player’s hand speed could keep up, they could
switch constantly between the two forms, and eight skills could be released
continuously as long as they didn’t run out of energy.
What did that mean?
It meant that the medicine warlock could heal and deal damage frantically
at the same time.
Although their energy bar would eventually empty out, this period of time
was enough for them to slaughter out a bloody path!
The flying warrior and immortal thief couldn’t hold on, but the medicine
warlock could give it a try!
Why was it called the heartbeat style?
Because it really made one’s heart pound!
Rushing at the enemy meant that they would take a face full of damage. The
medicine warlock was quite squishy, and its health bar could drop to the
bottom at any time. However, because it was charging in on its own, all of
the healing and health recovering skills could be piled up on its own body
and didn’t have to be shared with other teammates, so the health bar would
plummet, then rise back up again.
This kind of thrilling ups and downs was enough to make one’s heart
explode!
What made it more demanding was that they had to switch to their damage
dealing form while healing in order to deal damage.
In order to prevent being controlled, the medicine warlock also had to seize
the right timing to use the skill that removed control states!
The requirement for hand speed…

Not to mention a support player, even a core player who had to execute
amazing maneuvers on a regular basis would have to think twice about
whether or not they could do it.
However, in the 2021 global finals, Yan Jiang’s medicine warlock had used
this wave of maneuvering and completely broken any hope L&P had of
turning the tables!
What professional player didn’t dream of turning the tables?
So what if they were a support player.
A support player could also tear into the enemy’s throat!
Bai Cai’s eyes were serious, and his fingers flew quickly across the
keyboard. This hand speed that had been trained up by following Little
Lunatic Wei around played out effectively at this time: his health dropped,
and his skills caught up to heal him; OD forcibly controlled him, and he
opened up his immunity skill just in time, finally making it close to the gold
hunter!
This was already the third time he’d switched forms. The medicine warlock
that had switched from light to dark now wrapped a set of skills around the
gold hunter like a chain. In the next moment, black fog burst out. It was the
medicine warlock’s ultimate move, called––heaven’s punishment.
The black blade that fell down from the sky pierced OD’s sparkling, golden
marksman!
Almost at exactly the same moment when the gold hunter fell, Bai Cai also
died.
However…
He’d succeeded!
He’d killed the opponent’s marksman with a support hero. He’d really made
a killing with this move!
Wei Xiao could be heard in his headset, “Attack! Fellow brothers, step on
Old Bai’s corpse and charge!”
Bai Cai, whose heartbeat had sped up, “……”
Motherf*cker!
The gold hunter fell, and OD was routed.
Wei Xiao’s immortal thief led the ice mage and storm hunter to attack from
the front. Close circled around the back and killed OD’s fire mage.
All that was left was a broken power thief and the half useless blood
warrior, who both had expressions full of despair.
It didn’t matter how tanky the giant shaman was. When faced with this kind
of siege, it could only squeal and topple to the ground in regret!
FTW’s aura was magnificent and powerful. The four of them rushed all the
way to OD’s base and shattered their resurrection crystal.
Victory!
FTW won!
And they’d won in such a wonderful way!
The fans in the livestream were all ecstatic, “Holy shit, Bai Cai’s medicine
warlock…”
“Although it’s a distance away from God Yan’s medicine warlock, he still
did it!”
“Is this the Brother Vegetable that I know?”
“Amazing, amazing, FTW really stood out today!”
Mother Hen Chen’s breath had caught in his throat.

Goddam, the heartbeat play.
This was like the f*cking heart attack play!
Watching it could give people a heart attack!
After setting down the headset, Wei Xiao spoke to Bai Cai, “Pretty good,
Brother Bai.”
Bai Cai forced himself to calm down, “Not bad, right.”
Wei Xiao turned his head towards Lu Feng and reported, “Captain, Brother
Cai is trying to act cool!”
The corner of Lu Feng’s lips rose up slightly, “It’s fine, the hotel has a
lightning rod.”
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle burst out in impolite laughter.
Those who put on a cool act would be struck by lightning, but there was a
lightning rod, so it was okay. Amazing.
Bai Cai: “???”
Captain, don’t cooperate with this little beast!
Compared with FTW’s euphoria, OD was in a low mood. It was especially

the case for Zhou Xingfei whose expression was extremely ugly.
Wei Xiao put on his team jacket and headed towards the stage in the
middle.
The host was about to hold a routine interview, but nobody had expected
that Zhou Xingfei wouldn’t even look back as he headed straight off-stage.
Wei Xiao raised his voice, “Zhou Xingfei, where’s the apology.”
He spoke in a lazy tone, but his voice spread out throughout the room.
The players who’d been immersed in the game had all come back to their
senses. Not only those in the hall, but those who were outside watching on
the live broadcast all perked up their ears.
Apology?
What was going on!
Zhou Xingfei sneered and didn’t turn back as he walked away.
What kind of apology did he owe? He’d just said those words casually.
Who wanted to apologize to Bai Cai.
Wei Xiao had expected that he would cheat a long time ago.
So… he pressed a button in his pocket, and a recording played out

throughout the hall––
“If you lose, you have to apologize to White for tricking him into
terminating his contract.”
“Fine!”
The ‘fine’ that Zhou Xingfei had tossed down loudly stirred up an uproar
across the entire network.
Ch59 - Reality and despicable
means would cool such young hot-
bloodedness
The recording had captured everything perfectly, and the audience could
hear it clearly over the live broadcast.
Tricking Bai Cai into breaking his contract?
Zhou Xingfei had cheated Bai Cai?
What was going on?
Quite a few of Brother Cai’s fans had come to the live broadcast studio.
Someone immediately called out, “Holy shit, is that really the case?”
“What’s this? God Bai was tricked back then?”
“Brother Vegetable was really very miserable! Back then, he broke off the
contract with Boro and was ridiculed all over Weibo. They all said that he
was too rich and didn’t even take a million yuan seriously.”
“A million? Brother Cai wasn’t famous yet when he was in Boro, right?”
An old fan: “Very poor and thrifty. He would even thank people over and
over again for support gifts that are only worth 50 yuan.”
“Back then, I was really puzzled and curious about how Brother Cai had the
courage to break his contract.”
“But, how did Zhou Xingfei trick him?”

“I know! Zhou Xingfei was the rookie king that year. He relied on Brother
Cai, who was already a professional player, and attracted the attention of
many teams.”
“That’s right! Back then when Brother Cai was live streaming, he would
double queue with this Zhou Xingfei!”
“Before breaking his contract with Boro, Brother Cai also said that he
wanted to go and participate in the competition with his real teammates.”
“Shit, I didn’t think much of it at the time, but now that I’m thinking
back… My White God really had it tough ahhhhhh!”
Bai Cai hadn’t indulged his fans for the past year for nothing. Although
nobody knew that he was the Gossip Emperor, he’d also learned a lot about
these little sisters’ preferences through his position as the Gossip Emperor.
While catering to their likes, Brother Cai had also managed fans of ‘White’
very well.
Once someone was a fan, they would start to care about their player’s past.
The highlights of Bai Cai’s past were, ‘a very unremarkable support’, and
‘high priced contract termination’.
Previously, the fans hadn’t known why. Now, it all lined up.
––He wanted to play with his real teammates.
––He terminated his existing contract without any hesitation .
––His ‘teammate’ flew far and high…
After these clues were all pulled out bit by bit, the fans exploded!
“Damn it… what a scum!”
“No wonder FTW insisted on picking OD. It was for the sake of my Brother
Cai!”
“I was wrong, I’d like to apologize for scolding Quiet. This guy is really
righteous, kind and loyal!”
On the screen, the youth in the black FTW team uniform stood there
beneath the dazzling stage lights. He was tall, his legs were long, and his
clothing was worn casually, revealing pale and slender arms. His left hand
was inserted into his trouser pocket, and he looked cool and arrogant.
His facial features were very handsome, and when he smiled, it was as
bright as the sun. The way his eyes were hooded and cold as he stared at
Zhou Xingfei… it was really alpha-like!
The recording was still playing on repeat, broadcasting those two sentences
over and over.
Zhou Xingfei’s expression was incredibly ugly.
This kid had actually recorded it!
He……
Wei Xiao spoke in a cool tone, “God Zhou, if you’re a man, then apologize
frankly. Nobody will say much about you over something that took place
such a long time ago.”
These words sounded like a way to step back, but the tone of his voice was
full of irony.
Zhou Xingfei was caught in a dilemma.
Apologize? He couldn’t swallow down this indignity!
Why should he apologize? Bai Cai had been stupid on his own, so how
could he be blamed for it?
What if he didn’t apologize?
Zhou Xingfei really hated this recording to death. He hated it so much that
he was gritting his teeth.
He’d been too careless, and he completely hadn’t expected that Wei Xiao
had been tricking him into saying things.
At this time, Bai Cai also walked over. He wasn’t like Wei Xiao; his
clothing was neat, and the zipper of his uniform jacket was pulled up to the
top.
FTW’s support player had always been synonymous with the phrase ‘easy
to get along with’.
Even on the day that they’d won the domestic championships, he’d also
pressed his lips together in a smile, appearing restrained and reserved.
However, at this time, his mouth was tense, and he looked coldly at Zhou
Xingfei.
His look made Zhou Xingfei feel a trace of guilt in his heart. His nerves,
which had originally already been stretched to the limit, couldn’t hold on…
“I…”
Wei Xiao stopped the replay from the recording pen, and the stage fell
silent.
Zhou Xingfei exhaled heavily and spoke in Chinese, “I’m sorry.”
He just wanted to leave quickly and wished he could disappear

immediately.
Wei Xiao suddenly opened his mouth, his clear voice ringing through the
large banquet hall, “Apology not accepted.”
He walked up to Zhou Xingfei and said to him, “Your apology. Our White
doesn’t accept it.”
Wei Xiao called out to him, “Old Bai, let’s go.”

At this time, Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle had also come over. The FTW
group didn’t give Zhou Xingfei a second glance as they walked down
together.
Most of the participants were foreigners who didn’t understand Chinese, so

they were still unclear about what exactly had just happened.
However, the Chinese fans in the livestream studio had already exploded!
“Oh my god, Quiet is too inspiring!”
“You can make your apology, but Laozi has no obligation to accept it or
forgive you?”
“Damn! That was great! Brother Cai has really found a treasure, oh, that’s
not right, FTW has really found a treasure!”
The actions and consequences that had led to this situation were all clear.
Everyone could see that FTW had rushed to the top three on the scoreboard
in order to play against OD. From the recording, it could be seen that both
sides had an agreement. As long as FTW won, Zhou Xingfei would
apologize to Bai Cai––apologize for tricking Bai Cai.
Quiet was also very fierce. Knowing that Zhou Xingfei would try to get out
of it, he had directly gone and recorded the conversation.
This on-the-spot recording playback was tantamount to a public execution.
Zhou Xingfei was already depressed from being targeted in the game, and
his teammates hadn’t held back from scolding him. Something like this also
popped up at this time, and he couldn’t help but be a little flustered
regardless of how smooth and slick he usually was.
He’d only wanted to calm things down and get through it, which was why
he’d apologized despite being unwilling and insincere.
Who could’ve known that Quiet would send him off with those three words:
“Apology not accepted.”
He’d put in a lot of effort to make him apologize, simply because he’d done
something wrong.
But apologies didn’t alter the harm that the victim had suffered, so the
apology hadn’t been accepted.
After stepping down from the stage, Bai Cai finally came back to his
senses, “You…”
Wei Xiao slung an arm around his shoulder, “Why should you forgive him?
Does he deserve it?”
The cold voice poured into Bai Cai’s heart like a stream of heat, making his
nose feel sour, “You…”
He couldn’t hold back his tears. Bai Cai choked out, “… What’s the point of
riling up a mad dog.”
Wei Xiao helped him block the cameras, “Just let him bite me. It just so
happens that I’m bored.”
Bai Cai: “……………”
F*ck!
Later on, this matter was sorted out by fans and posted up on Weibo.
The entire incident was pulled out and picked clean. Some people even dug
out photos of Bai Cai from when he’d just joined the team.
A Bai Cai who’d been skinny and bony, his entire person appearing out of
sorts. It looked nothing like his currently clean and handsome appearance.
When the people who were still saying that Bai Cai had done well for
himself after terminating the contract saw these photos, they all shut up.
Even if they didn’t know exactly what he’d experienced, just looking at the
Bai Cai in the photos was enough to tell them how big of a blow he’d
suffered at the time.
An 18, 19 year old youth.
Who’d entrusted everything to his teammate.
His dreams and his trust.
All piled up on the body of a scum.
Who hadn’t ever dreamed? Who hadn’t once had a passionate heart? Who
hadn’t experienced the enthusiasm that inspired them to proceed without
turning back?!
Unfortunately there was always reality and despicable means that would
cool such young hot-bloodedness.
Fortunately, Bai Cai now had real teammates.
***
By the time they returned to the training room, Bai Cai had already
stabilized his mood. He’d cried until he looked like a panda and was now
feeling self-conscious and ashamed, and didn’t dare look up.
Coach Chen stared at him for a while, then began to settle accounts in the
aftermath, “Your medicine warlock played well.”
Brother Vegetable: “……”
Wei Xiao raised his hand, “Report!”
Chen Feng raised his chin, “Speak.”
Wei Xiao sold Bai Cai out thoroughly, “Brother Vegetable’s elemental
shaman, shadow priest, fiend warlock, and music mage are all extremely
good!”

All of the talents that Wei Xiao had named really tested one’s hand speed
and had extremely low fault tolerance rates. They were support talents that
could cause an entire team to collapse in a moment of carelessness.
The problem was…
Bai Cai spoke up quickly, “Coach, don’t listen to his nonsense. I…”
His elemental shaman, shadow priest, fiend warlock, and music mage were
all really terrible!
Chen Feng uttered a sound of acknowledgement and said, “Brother Cai has
really hidden himself well. How disrespectful.”
How could Brother Vegetable continue to argue? He was about to die, “I’m
not, I didn’t, don’t listen to him talk blindly…”
Wei Xiao chuckled and said, “Our team has such a powerful support. He’s
so reliable.”
Bai Cai was going crazy, “Wei Xiao!”
Wei Xiao ignored him and turned to wink at Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle,
“Don’t you feel particularly safe and secure?”
Ning Zhehan was purposely very supportive, “Brother Vegetable is so

strong!”
Don’t assume that Laozi can’t tell the difference between Vegetables and
Cai!
This group of punks!
What did it mean to drive a duck onto a perch?
Brother Vegetable’s ‘lazy’ days were coming to an end!

Although they’d won against OD, Chen Feng wanted to strike while the
iron was hot and reviewed the game with them then and there.
On the whole, FTW had performed well. Needless to say, Close hadn’t
made any errors during the entire game, and he was even more powerful in
the top lane than he’d been when he played jungler. Wei Xiao was full of
recklessness and appeared impulsive, but in fact, he was brave and
resourceful, and several of his ganks had been extremely on point. After
Coach Chen came out with these three sentences of rainbow farts, Brother
Cai promised to train bitterly with the elemental shaman, shadow priest,
fiend warlock, and music mage. Anything Yan Jiang could play, he also had
to master!
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle had made some mistakes, but Chen Feng
didn’t purposely pick on them and only said, “Continue to train.”
The points competition ended at 9:30PM, which was still considered early.
FTW went to the international servers to queue as a team and played until
12:00 midnight.
Chen Feng spoke, “That’s enough, everyone’s free to do what they want.”
Wei Xiao looked pleadingly at Lu Feng, “Captain.”
Lu Feng invited him to a game over the game interface.
Wei Xiao was instantly excited, “Ahhhhhh, I’m coming!”
With this level of excitement, those who didn’t know otherwise would think
he’d won the lottery!
Lu Feng said, “Take the immortal thief.”
As long as Wei Xiao could solo, he was willing to play anything!
Wei Xiao took the immortal thief, and Lu Feng took the power thief.
This was a remake of tonight’s game.

When FTW played against OD, Wei Xiao had used the immortal thief, and
Zhou Xingfei had used the power thief.
During the entire game, Zhou Xingfei’s power thief had been beaten up by
Wei Xiao, to the point where he had no way to fight back.
Now…
The immortal thief who’d been running wild through the heavens was
smeared into the ground by the seemingly clumsy power thief.
Wei Xiao sucked in a breath, “Sure enough, there are no crappy heroes,
only crappy players.”
They were both power thieves, but it had seemed useless and clumsy when
Zhou Xingfei used it, while the captain made it seem dashing enough to
explode!
So what if its movement skill had a short range? So what if it held a giant
axe? When the axe swept over, its momentum was unparalleled!
It was too overbearing, okay?!
One match came to an end. Lu Feng spoke to Wei Xiao, “The power thief
can suppress the immortal thief. Give it a go next time.”
Wei Xiao replied, “It’s still early, why don’t we try it now!”
If he could play once, then he wanted to play twice. Once just really wasn’t
enough.
Wei Xiao, who was immersed in his excitement, was just about to pester for
more, but who could’ve known that Lu Feng would toss a light sentence his
way, “It’s so late, don’t you have to accompany your girlfriend?”
Wei Xiao instantly came to attention and sat up straight.
He’d been playing so happily that he’d completely forgotten about this
matter.
Private spending money. The boss. Girlfriend.
Countless key words flooded into his mind, and Wei Xiao collapsed!
Lu Feng stood up, “I’m going back first.”

Ch60 - My boss is my captain?!
Lu Feng had just left when Wei Xiao immediately jumped up.
“I’m going too!”
Then, he picked up his jacket and strode out the door.
Little Ning was very curious. He poked his granny gray head out to look
and said, “It turns out that Brother Xiao has a girlfriend already, hey.”
Respect, respect, Quiet was a winner at life!
Yue Wenle was also quite curious, “I couldn’t tell. I thought he would spend
his entire life soloing.”
Bai Cai’s hand shook, and he thought to himself: Old Yue, you’re 0.01
seconds away from touching on the truth!
Old Bai, who really knew too much, felt very hollow, “Come and triple
queue.”
The two of them agreed at the same time. Ning Zhehan wanted to continue
gossiping while they queued, “Brother Cai, is Brother Xiao’s girlfriend
pretty?”
17 or 18 year old children were too interested in this kind of thing, so he

couldn’t help but ask.
The great demon king’s cold and handsome face floated across Bai Cai’s
mind, “… Good looking.”
Who would f*cking dare say that Close wasn’t good looking? Tens of
thousands of madame fans would boot you all the way out to outer space if
you wanted to give it a try!
Ning Zhehan spoke the words in his heart, “Respect, respect.”
Bai Cai’s mouth twitched: There’s really no need!
Triple queueing for a high ranked match was really slow. Yue Wenle also
spoke up, “Are they a college schoolmate?”
They all knew about Wei Xiao’s educational background, and not only were
they shocked, they also understood a little bit––just based on this kid’s
enthusiasm, was there anything he couldn’t do well?!
Bai Cai shook his head, “No.”
Ning Zhehan: “High school classmate?”
Ah, he was even more full of respect. Ning Zhehan also had a crush on a
goddess, but his goddess hated internet addicted youths QAQ.
Bai Cai could only continue to be vague, “They’re working.”
Yue Wenle was surprised, “The grandmaster’s really capable.”
He’d even managed to find an older woman!
Bai Cai couldn’t keep this up anymore, “I don’t know much either. If you’re
curious, then ask him about it tomorrow.”
Ning Zhehan was very innocent and naive, “Mm! I’ll find a chance to ask
him about it tomorrow.”
Bai Cai: “……………”
Was he really going to ask? Unfortunately, the words that had been spoken
were like water that had already been spilled out, and Brother Cai couldn’t
collect it back again.
Forget it, forget it, getting to watch Wei Xiaoxiao be embarrassed was also
something to be amused over.
Wei Xiao rushed all the way back to the room and pushed open the door
just in time to see Lu Feng undressing.
The hotel lights hit the man vertically from above, and the lights and
shadows outlined the solid back like a beautiful oil painting that was filled
with a sense of power.
Lu Feng’s actions paused for a moment when he heard the noise. Then, he
took off his T-shirt completely and turned to look at the door.
Sexy collarbones, a powerful chest, and one two three four five six seven
eight ab muscles.
Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment, “Captain…”
Lu Feng leaned over and picked up his bathrobe, “Yes?”
Wei Xiao forgot what he’d come for and blurted out, “How did you train
those?”
They were both internet addicted youths. How come the gap between them
was so big!
Wei Xiao wanted to lift up his clothes and take a look at himself!
Lu Feng: “Get up early every day to exercise. You could do it too.”
Wei Xiao shook his head frantically, “No, it’s better to die early than to get
up early.”
Lu Feng: “The body is the capital for revolution.”
Wei Xiao shook his head even more fiercely, “Our revolution doesn’t
require those eight ab muscles.”
Lu Feng paused for a moment and didn’t say anything else.

Wei Xiao was the type to reach out for a yard after gaining an inch. He
closed the door behind him and came close, stretching out a hand to poke
with, “F*ck, this is really the limit!”
It was really damned amazing. Even men found him handsome, so it was no
wonder so many female fans wanted to marry him.
Lu Feng reached down and caught his wrist.
Lu Feng’s voice deepened slightly, “You’re someone with a girlfriend…”
Wei Xiao lifted his head to look at him, “Ah.”
He was about to develop a girlfriend phobia. Every time he heard this word,
his heart was about to crack apart from guilt!
Lu Feng’s lips curved, “So, don’t act like a rogue.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng released his hand and headed to the bathroom, “I’m going to take a
bath.”
After being left in a muddled daze for three seconds, Wei Xiao came back
to his senses.
F*ck!
He’d been teased by the captain!
Oh, that wasn’t right, he’d teased the captain first.
Ummm… Wei Xiao’s desire for victory was about to explode: he hadn’t
made a loss!
He only remembered now that he’d come back to talk about proper things.
Now, the captain had gone to take a bath. He definitely couldn’t just shout
through the door and could only continue to wait.
Wei Xiao looked around everywhere, but he couldn’t find Lu Feng’s phone.
He wouldn’t be able to use the method of sending a message to test things

out.
At this time, his cell phone beeped. Wei Xiao quickly bowed his head to
look; it really was his ‘girlfriend’.
LU: “Is training over?”
Wei Xiao stared at the message for a long time, then lifted his head to look
at the bathroom…
The sound of water could be heard; the captain was definitely taking a bath.
So, had he really had overthought things, and the boss and captain were two
separate people?
It was just that they were both surnamed Lu, and they both happened to be
rich and generous, and both just so happened to treat him very well?
To hell with coincidence!
When he thought about the matter of private spending money and how
obvious the implication had been, the truth was as naked and blatant as the
captain who’d taken off his clothes!
Wei Xiao pressed down the urge to go and push open the bathroom door.
They were all men and didn’t have many scruples, but the other party was
bathing and barging in like that was very rude.
Wei Xiao wouldn’t do something so disgusting.
He tested his hypothesis patiently, “I just finished training. Brother Lu

hasn’t gone to sleep yet?”
LU: “No rush.”

Wei Xiao: “Wanna play?”
LU: “In the bath, can’t play.”
Wei Xiao turned his head around with a swish and looked towards the
captain in the bathroom.
Damn it, did these two people even bathe together?!
Could there be such a coincidence?
Wei Xiao was already 99% certain in his heart, but he didn’t dare to admit
it. “Hahaha, you’re still playing with your cell phone while taking a bath.
Could it be that you’re soaking in the tub?”
LU: “Shower.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
LU added, “The phone is waterproof.”
Wei Xiao cracked, “Captain…”
LU: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
He called out directly, “Captain!”
Lu Feng hadn’t gone to take a bath at all. He came out in his bathrobe, “You
can continue calling me Brother Lu.”
Wei Xiao was stupefied for a moment, then fell back with a plop and
collapsed on the bed.
Lu Feng’s eyes and the corner of his lips were full of laughter that couldn’t
be hidden away, “But drop the ‘girlfriend’, the term’s gender is wrong.”

Don’t ask. If you ask, then he was already dead and it was time to burn
paper offerings.
Lu Feng left his cell phone outside and went back to really take a bath.
Wei Xiao glanced at it. The screen was bright and shiny and filled with the
chat logs of their conversations.
Okay…
It was confirmed…
There was no need to doubt it…
There couldn’t be this many coincidences in this world. His boss and his
captain were the same person.
Oh, his girlfriend and his other girlfriend were also the same person!
Wei Xiao thought about all the things that had happened in the past and
couldn’t help closing his eyes. He tilted his head and feigned death.
By the time Lu Feng came back outside, still wiping his hair, what he saw
was the Wei Xiaoxiao who was pretending to be a corpse.
“Go wash up.”
Wei Xiao flopped up like a carp and was seated in a cross-legged position
on the bed in seconds, “Captain!” His voice was unusually sad and
indignant.
Wei Xiao had already recovered. He accused, “You’ve been deceiving me

the whole time!”
He’d really been duped badly. What accompanying player, what boss, what
Brother Lu? It had all been his captain toying around with him!
Lu Feng had already decided to come clean, so he had naturally also
planned to have a good talk with him about it, “If I didn’t do that, would I
have been able to contact you?”
His voice was a little heated, like the steam in the bathroom.
Wei Xiao opened his mouth and couldn’t say a word.
Lu Feng’s next sentence really was intended as a joke, “You’d already gone
to New Oriental to pursue your dreams. Shouldn’t I be careful when feeling
things out?”
The waves he’d stirred up back then had already turned to water in his mind
that was about to burst out again in the form of tears!
Lu Feng explained, “I was afraid that if I contacted you directly, you would
hide from me.”
So, he’d used the ID LU and spent two million to buy ten thousand games
with an accompanying player.
Those who knew about this matter all thought that the reason why Lu Feng
had used two million was because Wei Xiao’s signing fee back then had
been two million.
But in fact, that wasn’t it. Lu Feng had bought ten thousand games only
because the accompanying player platform had restrictions and that was the
maximum number of games that could be purchased at a time.
Two years ago, Close had scraped everything together and could only offer
Wei Xiao two million.
Two years later, LU had been limited by the platform and could only buy
ten thousand games.
When Lu Feng said it like that, how could Wei Xiao not understand?
At the time, he hadn’t gotten over his grandmother’s death. His heart was
filled with thoughts of escaping and hiding away, and it would have been
impossible for him to play professionally. If Close had really contacted him
directly, Wei Xiao might not have dared to continue as an accompanying
player. From then on, he would have stayed away from Glory and focused
on becoming a good and honest teacher.
However, Lu Feng used the ID LU to approach him, guide him, and

comfort him, giving him the guidance and support from a male elder that
he’d lacked from childhood.
The captain had gone to great lengths to bring him back.
Back to FTW, back to the competition arena he loved, back to the starting
point of his dream.
Wei Xiao’s heart was as hot as a heated iron, and his voice grew soft,
“Then, after I returned to the team, you…”
Lu Feng laughed quietly, “I did want to come clean, but you talked about
having a girlfriend every time. If I admitted it, wouldn’t you have run off
again?”
He would’ve. He would have put a huge rocket on his back and flown up
into the sky, shooting himself directly out into the universe.
Seeing how uncomfortable Wei Xiao looked, Lu Feng shifted to another

topic, “One year ago, was it you who suggested that Bai Cai come to
FTW?”
Wei Xiao nodded, “At the time, Old Bai had lost heart and insisted on going
back to his hometown. I told him to come find you and give it a try.”
Lu Feng’s voice was very light, “Thank you.”
Wei Xiao looked up abruptly, “Ah?”

Thanks for what? If thanks were going to be said, then he should be
thanking the captain for Old Bai.
If it hadn’t been for FTW taking Bai Cai in, Bai Cai would’ve gone home to
raise pigs back then!
Lu Feng sat across from him and said slowly, “FTW’s performance was
really bad in 2019. During the transfer period, only Tang Chen and I were
left in the team.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes suddenly opened wide.
That was FTW’s darkest time.
The Team of Gods disbanded in 2017. In 2018, Close took advantage of the
momentum to lead FTW to the global competition. Although they were
stopped at the knockout stages, it wasn’t the worst result.
2019 was their most miserable year. FTW’s shortcomings were fully
exposed, and the entire China competition zone was in a slump. In the
global competition, surrounded by strong opponents everywhere, FTW
wasn’t even able to make it out of the preliminaries and had been cursed
and scolded by fans after returning home.
At the time, FTW’s three newcomers were all in a state of mental collapse.
There was too much pressure. Just being teammates with Close had given
them a lot of pressure, and the pressure only mounted when they couldn’t
make any achievements. When they came back home and had to face online
public opinion, it made them even more uncomfortable and closed up.
This didn’t just apply to ‘normal’ people. Even Tang Chen, who was steady
and big hearted, had deleted his Weibo and closed his live broadcast during
that time period. He didn’t dare to meet anyone.
As soon as the transfer period arrived, the three newcomers listed

themselves up one after another, preferring to go to unknown, bottom
ranked teams than to stay in FTW.
At the time, FTW was really short on people and stretched to the limits.
When Bai Cai came, Close had been extremely dumbfounded.
Close had no impression of this skinny and pitiful youth in front of him, but
he saw a familiar eagerness in his eyes.
He was eager to play, eager to compete, and filled with the desire to win.
Like Wei Xiao.
Bai Cai said, “Can you let me have a chance? I can be your support player.”
Lu Feng had been slightly stunned, “Okay.”
At a time when FTW was most short of people, Bai Cai’s arrival was
timely, allowing the withered desert to sprout new shoots.
Bai Cai was very excellent and was especially well suited for Close.
The two of them had obviously never met before or trained together, but it
seemed as though Bai Cai had double queued with him countless times.
He’d been very familiar with his operation habits.
Chen Feng had also been curious about it, and then he thought, “He’s
probably one of your fans.”
Fan?
A fan who primarily played support, who’d watched countless Close games
and understood Close so well?
Lu Feng couldn’t come up with any other possibilities, so he could only

believe that that was the case.
Now, they’d finally found the answer.
Wei Xiao’s heart clenched when he heard this.

Over these two years, what exactly had FTW experienced? No… the
question should be, how much pressure had Close had to bear?!
Lu Feng thanked him sincerely, “Thank you for having Bai Cai come here.”
What he’d done had allowed them to pull FTW up, and only then would
they have the Yue Wenle that had been discovered by Bai Cai from their
second team, and only then could FTW achieve the domestic championship
in 2020.
Wei Xiao was awkward and embarrassed, “I’m the one who should thank
you for taking such good care of Old Bai.”
Over the past year, regardless of whether it was his body or his mental
outlook, Bai Cai seemed to be like a completely new person. What had
caused it?
It was the cold-faced, soft-hearted Close, the healthy environment of FTW,

and all the warm people around him.
“Besides,” Wei Xiao continued, “Bai Cai has now begun to support me
instead.”
It was really interesting. One year ago, in order to help Bai Cai partner with
Close, he’d pulled him into frenzied training so that he could keep up with
Close.
Bai Cai had then followed Close and played professionally for a year, and
now he was starting to cooperate with Wei Xiao again.
Things had come a full circle.
Wei Xiao’s wild thoughts began to take over again, “Captain! Don’t you
think that Brother Cai’s like a thread that ties us together!”
After saying so, Wei Xiao suddenly seemed to wake up, “F*ck! It’s Old
Bai! He’s the one who sold me out!”
There was no avoiding this; previously, the captain hadn’t known about his
and Bai Cai’s secret cooperation at all. How else would he suddenly know
about it?
It must have been that Bai Cai had sold him out.
That bastard kept saying that he didn’t know anything, but actually, he
knew everything?
The fact that his boss was his captain. He’d known about it from the start?
He’d been lying to him the whole time!
Wei Xiao blew up. He couldn’t do anything to the captain, but Brother
Vegetable was done for. If he didn’t strip off a layer of his skin, then he’d
write his name backwards, from Wei Xiaoxiao to Xiaoxiao Wei!
He’d only thought about coming clean and had completely forgotten about
Bai Cai.
Seeing that Wei Xiao was about to rush out the door, Lu Feng held him
back, “It’s already late, what are you kicking up a fuss for.”
Wei Xiao was going crazy, “I dug out my heart and lungs for that Vegetable,
yet he turned around and sold me out so completely. Today, I…”
Lu Feng was conscious that he was in the wrong and compromised, “How
about we have another solo game?”
A certain person who’d originally been about to run off in a frenzy

immediately quieted down.
Lu Feng was a little regretful.
Wei Xiao turned up his nose, “Two games.”
For the sake of covering up his mistake, Lu Feng nodded.

Wei Xiao was insatiable, “Five games!”
Wei Xiaoxiao had indeed been somewhat wronged today.
Wei Xiao’s eyes shifted, and his lion’s mouth opened up wide, “Speaking of
which…”
Lu Feng raised his eyebrows.
Wei Xiao wasn’t afraid of him and spoke very reasonably, “It should be
9991 games!”
Wei Xiao was very impressed with himself, “Brother Lu, you purchased ten
thousand games with an accompanying player. I have the records.”
Lu Feng was silent for a moment, “I remember you wanted to refund them.”
Wei Xiao clung to his cell phone, “You’re the one who told me not to do
it!”
Lu Feng: “I regret it now.”
Wei Xiao was delighted, “Too late!”
Lu Feng tried to hold back but finally failed to do so and flicked Wei Xiao’s
forehead, “Fine, don’t go and make trouble with Bai Cai.”
Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, “Captain, does
that mean that you’re selling yourself to save a vegetable?”
Wei Xiao instantly became sour, “Captain, you really love Brother
Vegetable, hey.”
Juurensha: …hahahaha, they’re both hilarious. (Also, Lu Feng you minx!

Stripping off your shirt and giving Wei Xiao a show!) xiin: ahhhhh LF
spoils WX so much so much so much so much
Ch61 - Wei Xiao, sleepwalking.
He had to beg and plead for a single round of solo, but now that he’d tied
up that vegetable and held it hostage, he could get 9991 games.
Wei Xiao grew more bitter the more he thought about it, “The feelings
between those who have fought shoulder to shoulder really isn’t the same.”
Ahhhh, he’d missed out on a full two years. Otherwise, the captain would
care about him the most right now!
Lu Feng could guess what he was thinking, “Solo or sleep, pick one.”
Wei Xiao immediately replied, “Solo! Don’t even think of sleeping

tonight!”
He was bitter and angry and just wished he could break one hour up into
three hours to make up for the previous two years.
It was already midnight, which was time for Lu Feng to go to bed.
He had attempted to maintain a healthy biological clock for the past three
years. He’d only made a few exceptions, and it seemed that they were all
related to Wei Xiao.
Sure enough, something like self-control really depended on who was

involved.
Lu Feng said, “Go wash up first.”
Wei Xiao had already started to boot up the machines, “No rush, no rush.”
Lu Feng: “If you don’t wash up, forget it.”

Lu Feng: “Going or not?”
“Going!” Wei Xiao could only be docile and obedient, heading to the
bathroom with his bathrobe in his arms even as he muttered under his
breath, “It’s so hard being me, I even have to wash and get changed before
soloing with you.”
Lu Feng had told him to wash up because he’d wanted to be able to play
with him for a bit longer, and then go to sleep directly whenever he grew
tired.
He’d originally said that they wouldn’t solo for these 15 days of training,
but in fact, he hadn’t even managed to hold out for three days.
Forget it, he’d let it go for today and stop indulging him tomorrow.
Lu Feng set up their keyboards and mice with that thought in mind.
The computers in the guest room couldn’t be compared with those in the
training room, and the internet speed was a little worse, too.
Fortunately, soloing was done over the local area network, so they weren’t
really affected.
The two of them used various configurations and played for a full three
hours. Wei Xiao only won two games.
Lu Feng left the game room, “Enough.”
Wei Xiao was unsatisfied, “It’s only been seven games!”
Lu Feng: “There’s still free matching in the afternoon.”
Wei Xiao was still hesitating. Scoring points was very important, but
latching onto the captain hadn’t been easy…
Lu Feng dangled a carrot in front of him, “I’ll double queue with you for
the free matching.”
“!” Wei Xiao was instantly tempted.
Lu Feng didn’t restrain the corner of his lips from rising and continued
deliberately, “Or, you can continue to accompany Bai Cai…”
Wei Xiao yelled, “I want to double queue with you!”
Lu Feng: “Shut down the computer and sleep then.”
The internet addicted youth was very reluctant, “Fine.”
It was already 3:30AM by the time the two of them went to bed. Sleepiness
swept over Lu Feng as soon as his head touched the pillow.
On the other hand, Wei Xiao couldn’t sleep. He lay on his side, facing Lu
Feng, “Captain…” He called out to him in a low, quiet voice.
Lu Feng’s eyes were closed, “Hm?”
Wei Xiao couldn’t fall asleep. When he thought about what had happened
recently, he always felt that it was all very magical…
Ten thousand games with an accompanying player. Such a good boss, such
a good captain.
He’d wandered around for two years, but had actually come back in the
end.
He’d thought that he’d missed out on this opportunity forever, but who
could’ve known that he’d have it back again.
And all of this was given to him by Lu Feng.
The more he thought about it, the warmer he felt. There was no filter over
his mouth, “You’re really good to me.”
Wei Xiao curled up into a shrimp ball beneath the quilt, “Before this, only
my grandma was this good to me…”
His voice became even smaller as he spoke.
Lu Feng opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. His heart felt like it had
been stung by a bee.
By the time he turned his head over, Wei Xiao had already fallen asleep.
The grown up boy who had his eyes closed didn’t show any traces of the
recklessness that could be seen during the day, and his pale face appeared
particularly tender. His gently quivering eyelashes made him seem like a
child who was eager to be embraced in the midst of a nightmare.
Wei Xiao was born good looking, the type with delicate and exquisite facial
features.
It was just that his character was normally too flamboyant, and it often
made people overlook his delicate appearance, forgetting that he was only a
19 year old youth, forgetting that he’d lost his closest relative two years
ago––he’d lost his home, lost the only person he could rely on.
Lu Feng turned over to look at him, observing him without blinking… he

looked, and looked, and unwittingly fell asleep.
In his dream, Lu Feng saw a three or four year old Wei Xiao, a soft and
fragile little toddler.
He picked up Wei Xiaoxiao and coaxed him, “Don’t cry, in the future,
I’ll…”
Lu Feng woke up from his dream.
He had indeed been dreaming, but he was now really holding onto
something.
Lu Feng suddenly opened his eyes and saw Wei Xiao, who’d drilled straight
into his arms.
“!”
This…
It was obvious that Wei Xiao wasn’t awake and wasn’t aware of his actions.
He had only tried desperately to get close to Lu Feng, holding onto him
with his slender arms. At first, he had just been hugging his arm, but later
on, it seemed that he felt that it wasn’t enough and went on to hug his entire
person…
Lu Feng had originally been sleeping on his side. At this moment, Wei Xiao
had burrowed himself completely into his arms.
Scattered strands of fine black hair fell on his arm, and his pale face was
full of innocence and affection. Wei Xiao nestled in his arms, like a small
animal eagerly waiting to be comforted.
Lu Feng called out to him quietly, “Wei Xiao.”
Wei Xiao was sleeping very soundly.
On this island that was warm all year around, the temperature hovered
around 25 or 26 degrees Celsius even during January.
The room had temperature controlled air conditioning, so it wasn’t hot at

all, but at this moment, Lu Feng felt like he was on fire, heat spreading
from his brain all the way down to his limbs and bones.
He should push Wei Xiao away.
But he was afraid to touch him.
Wei Xiao was only wearing a short sleeved shirt and shorts. His smooth and
clean arms wrapped around him, and his legs were also lifted up, clinging
onto him like an octopus.
Lu Feng shifted slightly.
Wei Xiao hugged him even more tightly, even burrowing his head against
his neck.
The youth’s fresh scent wafted into Lu Feng’s nose, and the hot, dry heat
that had originally been churning around him condensed, making his throat
feel dry and itchy, “Little Xiao…”
Wei Xiao snorted softly.
Lu Feng: “……” Shit.
At four o’clock in the morning, the great demon king experienced the
meaning of the saying ‘the evil one brought upon oneself was the hardest to
bear’.
It wasn’t until an hour later that Wei Xiao finally released him. He turned
around, and Lu Feng reacted swiftly, catching him quickly.
Wei Xiao didn’t fall out of bed, but Lu Feng’s fingertips quivered slightly. It
was as though they’d been scalded by this touch.
Fortunately, Wei Xiao was still sleeping soundly and didn’t attempt to
sleepwalk again.
Lu Feng sucked in a deep breath and got out of bed to go to the bathroom.
He wanted to take a shower, but was worried that he’d wake Wei Xiao up.
He could only stand against the wall for a while, waiting until he’d calmed
down before pulling on his jacket and heading out.
The room was too hot, and Lu Feng couldn’t stay inside any longer.
There was a terrace at the end of the corridor in the hotel. It was still dark
out at this time, and only the sound of the sea wind could be heard in the
quiet night.
Lu Feng had never smoked, but at this time, he really wished he had a
cigarette in hand.
“You woke up so early?” Chen Feng yawned and wondered out loud, “It’s
only 5 AM.”
Lu Feng looked back at him, “You haven’t slept?”
Chen Feng nodded, “I watched other teams’ free matching for a while…”
Coaches didn’t need to go up onto the competition court and didn’t need to
train, but that didn’t mean they had it any easier than the players.
Chen Feng had watched basically all the free match games from the seeded
players from all 18 competition zones.
This was a great opportunity for them to understand their opponents, and it
was also the time to speculate on other teams’ strategies. As FTW’s
‘military advisor’, Chen Feng had to do his homework thoroughly.
Lu Feng spoke, “Pull less all-nighters.”
Chen Feng yawned repeatedly, “It’s fine.” He drew out a cigarette.
Lu Feng glanced at him and continued, “Smoke less.”
Fine, he’d already smoked two packs in one evening.
Chen Feng leaned against the railing. For better or worse, his brain, which
had been somewhat dulled from sleepiness, finally moved slightly, “You…
haven’t slept yet?”
Although Lu Feng usually woke up early, it wasn’t early to this point.

Based on his current appearance, it was obvious that he had stayed up all
night.
Lu Feng answered, “Mm.”
Chen Feng was instantly energized, “Why, what happened?”

Lu Feng: “Nothing much.”
Chen Feng knew him too well. This ‘nothing much’ clearly meant that
something had happened!
“Little Lunatic Wei pestered you to solo again?”
“Mm.”
“You accompanied him to play around until now?”
Mother Hen Chen grew anxious, “You can’t indulge him so much, that
kid…”
Lu Feng explained, “He went to sleep at three.”
Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Three o’clock was fine. For this group
of internet addicted youth who woke up at eleven o’clock, that was enough
sleep.
“He’s sleeping. Why haven’t you slept yet?” Chen Feng was very puzzled.
Lu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, “He sleepwalks.”
Chen Feng: “Ah?”
Lu Feng’s face was expressionless, “He climbed into my bed.”
Chen Feng: “!”
The great demon king broke the jar thoroughly, “Held onto me and
wouldn’t let go.”
As an oldie who’d followed Lu Feng for a full four years, if Chen Feng still
hadn’t figured out what Lu Feng’s intentions were, then he’d be just like
Big Fool Tang!
He’d had suspicions about Lu Feng’s sexual orientation for a long time. It
was just that they’d never talked about it, and he’d never seen anyone Lu
Feng was interested in, so Chen Feng had simply shelved the issue.
Until Wei Xiao had appeared.
Two years ago, Lu Feng probably hadn’t had any additional thoughts about
Wei Xiao.
But now, two years later, Chen Feng was certain that Lu Feng had been
bewildered into dizzy circles by this little lunatic.
Of course, Little Lunatic Wei really was very likeable.
Chen Feng considered it for a moment, then inquired, “Why don’t you tell
him?”
These two guys were like magnets, and their attraction to each other was
equally strong.
Lu Feng stared out at the black sea in the distance and asked rhetorically,
“Tell him that I like him?”
Lu Feng chuckled, “He’d marry me the next second.”
Chen Feng: “!”
He didn’t know why, but a picture was forming in his head.
“However,” Lu Feng’s voice drifted over, his tone extremely calm, “If you
went and said it, or if Bai Cai did, or Yue Wenle, or Ning Zhehan went and
said it… he would do the same thing.”
Chen Feng: “……………………”
Damn, Little Lunatic Wei would really do such a thing!

Chen Feng instantly began to feel sorry for Lu Feng.
Wasn’t liking a person good? Why did he have to fall for such a beast!
Lu Feng’s lips curved, and he was actually in a good mood, “I’m going
back. You should get some sleep.”
Chen Feng opened his mouth and wanted to say: You like him, and he
sleepwalks. Won’t something happen if the two of you sleep together!
On second thought…
Forget it, if Wei Xiao was going to hold onto someone, it might as well be
Lu Feng.
As for a single room, how could he let an internet addict like Wei Xiao live
alone?
With nobody watching over him, he was likely to stay up and pull all
nighters until he died a sudden death!
Based on Chen Feng’s understanding of Lu Feng that had been built up over
the years, he wasn’t actually worried.
Not to mention, Wei Xiao was still young, and the current FTW couldn’t
withstand any turmoil.
The team had only just been reorganized, and they hadn’t even started
playing in the domestic competition yet. What was the point in talking
about these unimportant things!
As the fans would say––
Was the regular season a grand slam? Had they won all the playoffs? Had
they taken home the world cup?
If they didn’t have any of that, then to hell with falling in love!
In fact, Chen Feng wasn’t too worried about it. Wei Xiao definitely wasn’t a
straight man. Just based on how much energy he spent on Close, he must be
as crooked as a mosquito incense coil!
It was just that Little Lunatic Wei was oblivious to these things.
There were advantages to such obliviousness. For example, he was very

bold in the competition arena and wasn’t afraid of anything.
The downsides were also obvious. This obliviousness that was as thick as
city walls meant that Captain Lu would really be wearing away at it for a
long time.
Lu Feng returned to the room and took in the Wei Xiaoxiao who was still
sleeping on his bed.
This kid never ate on time and was picky when he did, so all of the nutrients
in his body had gone into his height. His arms and legs were pale and thin,
his shorts were loose, and his half-visible, thin waist…
Lu Feng raised up the quilt and covered him tightly.
He went to sleep in Wei Xiao’s bed and stared unblinkingly at the ceiling.
What he’d said to Chen Feng just now was both the truth and also an
excuse.
The reason Lu Feng hadn’t expressed his interest was more because he
cared about Wei Xiao.
The Little Xiao who hadn’t had parents from a young age and had no choice
but to grow up was very eager for love.
And this love shouldn’t only be the love between lovers.
Wei Xiao, who’d worked so hard in his childhood, deserved to experience

all the beautiful feelings in this world.
Lu Feng wanted to give him love and care, have him relax and trust. Even
more, he wanted to become the solid backing that supported him and
allowed him to be wanton and reckless.
A selfless affection, a warm friendship.
Wholehearted reliance, and a trust that was worth committing to.
––Lu Feng wanted to give him all of it.
Juurensha: Awwww, that’s so sweet, Lu Feng. xiin: the captain has the
biggest marshmallow heart~
Ch62 - Little Lunatic Wei, famed
for his double entendre
When Wei Xiao woke up, it was almost eleven o’clock.
He stretched, and looked to the left out of habit. What entered his gaze were
dark and heavy blinds…
Eh?
Where was the captain?!
Oh, that wasn’t right, this was the captain’s bed!
Wei Xiao’s short hair exploded and stood on end. He was shocked to
discover that he’d switched beds.
Wasn’t this the captain’s bed? How come he was sleeping on the captain’s
bed?!
Sleepwalking again?
F*ck!
Wei Xiao patted the top of his own head.
He’d really been too tired yesterday. He’d played hard yesterday to rank in
the top three on the scoreboard, and in order to win the training match that
evening, he’d put in 200% of his energy. Additionally, the fact that the boss
and the captain were actually the same people had greatly stimulated him,
and then he’d indulged fully and happily in soloing all the way until
3AM…
All kinds of things could be listed out and added up. It would’ve been more
strange if he hadn’t sleepwalked!
Many years of experience told him that once his spirit and body were tired
out at the same time, there was no way to avoid sleepwalking.
Oh shit…
What had he done last night?
Had he climbed into the captain’s bed again?
He hadn’t done any beastly things, right?!
He was still in a state of fear and panic as he got up to wash up, and he felt
uneasy even as he brushed his teeth.
Wei Xiao was very clear about his own sleepwalking bad habits.
He would desperately hold onto people and cling onto them exactly like an
octopus.
Fortunately, it was the captain. If it was a girl, he would have to take

responsibility, get married, and have children!
This scene was too terrible. Wei Xiao shivered.
After quickly washing his face, Wei Xiao sent Lu Feng a message,
“Captain, last night…”
F*ck, he didn’t know what to say, so he’d sent the message just like that!
Lu Feng replied to him a while later, “You’re awake?”
Wei Xiao stared at these two words and read them again and again, but he
couldn’t tell if the captain was angry or not.
Wei Xiao closed his eyes; his heart seemed to flatline, and he tossed out, “I
didn’t do anything disrespectful to you last night, right?”
If the captain felt like he’d been taken advantage of, then he’d…
Let him beat him up?
Lu Feng set down the document in his hand and raised his eyebrows,
“Disrespectful?”
Wei Xiao gave him a general explanation, “For example, hugging you,
touching you randomly, kissing you, or something…”
Wei Xiao stressed, “I don’t remember anything!”
Lu Feng suppressed the heat that rose up in his chest, “Do you do these
things whenever you sleepwalk?”
Wei Xiao was worried he’d scare Lu Feng and quickly explained, “Never.
But I can’t be certain that my sleepwalking hasn’t upgraded or mutated…
oh…” He finally got it, “It seems like I didn’t do anything!”
Lu Feng’s fingers trembled very slightly as he typed out a line of words, “It
can’t be considered nothing.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng thought about the youth whose breath had been right next to his
ear yesterday and said, “… You kissed me on the face.”
Wei Xiao: “…………………………”
He was dead. At this moment, guest room number 666 held a Little Wei
Corpse.
The dying Wei Xiao tried his best to save himself, “Captain!”
Lu Feng’s lips curved, “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “I didn’t mean to QAQ.”

Lu Feng: “Oh.”
Wei Xiao stared at these two single tone words and thought of something
amidst his nervousness!
He quickly poked out the words, “I know why, I must’ve thought that you
were Soybean. I love holding onto it when I sleep at night, and kiss its
doggy head quite often…”
After sending it out, Wei Xiao belatedly realized what he’d said.
He’d compared the captain to a dog!
He’d actually treated the great demon king like a husky!
He……
Wei Xiao: “Captain QwQ.”
The great demon king sent him three cold and ruthless words, “Sleep earlier
tonight.”
Wei Xiao fell apart with a crack and toppled onto the bed.
Wuwuwu, there went that night’s solo!
A super big solo session that would last a whole three hours had flown
away right in front of his eyes!
When Bai Cai came to find him to go and eat, Wei Xiao transferred his
anger onto him, “Old Bai!”
His voice was gloomy as could be.
Bai Cai was scared by his tone, “You-what do you want!”
Wei Xiao hauled him into the room and slammed the door shut.
Bai Cai really turned into a little white cabbage then. He was shocked,
“What the hell are you doing!”
Bandit Wei approached him step by step and forced him against the wall.
White Cabbage Bai: “You-you…”
There was a thump as Brother Vegetable stuck himself against the wall.
Wei Xiao lifted up the clothes hanger he’d prepared a long time ago,
“Confess to your crimes and I’ll be lenient, or suffer punishment if you
resist.”
Bai Cai exploded, “What the hell is wrong with you so early in the
morning? Since you have so many plays to act out, why don’t you just join
the entertainment circle!”
Wei Xiao poked his chest with the hanger, “The captain told me about it last
night.”
Bai Cai: “!”
What did he talk about?
For Wei Xiao to act so crazy now, what else could it be.
Captain, you’ve sabotaged me ahhhhh!
No matter what, if Brother Vegetable had known this would happen even
one second earlier, he wouldn’t have thrown himself into this net!
Bai Cai, who had a strong desire for survival, was clear-minded and quick-
tongued. He shrewdly and immediately told the whole story of what had
happened at the time, “I didn’t sell you out! I absolutely didn’t! Even if I
have the heart of a thief, I still wouldn’t have the guts! It was an accident,
the whole thing was a f*cking accident. At the time, you made a review
video for Little Ning, and I was watching it after I received it. The captain
just happened to hear your voice…”
Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment, but he still felt that Bai Cai was
‘resisting’, “I only stayed with the captain for three days and three nights.
Two years later, he was able to recognize me just by hearing my voice?”
Bai Cai: “How the hell would I know? You just prattled a couple of
sentences, and he asked if it was Wei Xiao. I was almost scared to death,
okay!”
Wei Xiao saw that he wasn’t lying, “Really?”
Bai Cai swore fiercely, “I swear by all the money deposited across my three
bank cards!”
Brother Vegetable had a clear conscience and asked, “If what I said wasn’t
the truth, then I’ll clear them all out to zero overnight!”
Wei Xiao believed him. This oath was crueler than simply taking Old Bai’s
little life. It seemed that he wasn’t lying.
Bandit Wei tapped the hanger lightly against his own palm, “This isn’t all
your fault.”
Bai Cai was relieved. He was really scared that Wei Xiao might go crazy.
What if this brat revealed his identity as the Gossip Emperor? Brother Cai
would really become a wilted vegetable then.
Wei Xiao carefully went over the facts, “Alright, in my final analysis, it’s
also because I’m too charming.”
Bai Cai: “……………”
Wei Xiao was delighted, “I can make the captain unable to forget about me
even after being separated for two years. I’m really a man with deep sins.”
Bai Cai: “………………” Screw you!

Wei Xiao felt that his position in Close’s heart wasn’t much worse than
Brother Cai, and he was in a great mood. He found Bai Cai much more
pleasing to the eye as well now. “Let’s go eat.”
Like hell did Bai Cai still want to eat! He was full from sheer fright!
As the two of them headed to the restaurant, they ran into Ning Zhehan.
Little Ning’s curiosity sprang up and ran wild as soon as he saw Wei Xiao,
“Brother Xiao!”
Wei Xiao was in a good mood, and the tone of his voice had also cheered
up, “Hm?”
Ning Zhehan laughed cheekily, “If you have a girlfriend, why not show her
off a little!”
Bai Cai stumbled and almost died right there in the corridor!
Ning Zhehan was quite interested in this, “I heard Brother Cai say that she’s
very beautiful, and she’s already started working.”
Wei Xiao glanced at Bai Cai and gave a superficial smile, “Mm. They’re
very beautiful, especially beautiful, the kind where you can’t move your
legs with a glance.”
Ning Zhehan was shocked, “Are you for real? Are they a star?”
Wei Xiao described a few details, “They look even better than a star; they
don’t make any less money than a star, and they’re very good at taking care
of people. It’s just that their personality is a little cold…”
Ning Zhehan admired him, “Amazing, Brother Xiao, you managed to find
such a top notch girlfriend!”
Wei Xiao waved his hand, “There’s nothing that can be done about things
like fate.”
Ning Zhehan was even more admiring, “It seems like the two of you have a
great relationship.”
Wei Xiao thought about how favored Brother Cai was and was jealous for a
moment, “Of course, they value me the most!”
Bai Cai understood him too well, to the point where he couldn’t understand
where the scent of vinegar in these words came from!
Wasn’t it a given that Close thinks highly of you? What are you staring at
me for? Do you think I dare to fight with you over the captain?
Ning Zhehan couldn’t tell at all and sighed emotionally, “How great.”
Wei Xiao was modest, “It’s alright.”
Last night, he’d thought that he could see Little Lunatic Wei end up in an
embarrassing position, but facts showed that he was still too young and
inexperienced!
When they arrived at the restaurant, they ran into Gary again.
Gary had also just arrived. He noticed Wei Xiao at a glance, and his eyes
started to spit out fire. He really wished he could skip the meal and have a
fight with Wei Xiao first.
Wei Xiao shot him a greeting, “Good morning.”
Gary used his crappy Chinese to reply, “Murning!”
Wei Xiao thought of Old G’s excellent playing yesterday, and his heart was
itchy, “Continue to work hard today!”
He still really wanted to play against L&P. After losing several times to
them, Wei Xiao wanted to get even at least once.
Gary thought about how he’d worked hard yesterday, and he was really
angry today. “I don’t believe you anymore!”
This tone was like a little wife who’d been cheated by a scum man.
Wei Xiao coaxed him, “Yesterday was an exception.”
Gary: “You’re a liar!”
Wei Xiao: “I really do want to fight with you.”
Gary got angrier the more he thought about it. “You’ll get strong by going
back on your words!”
Wei Xiao: “… It’s getting fat by going back on your words.”
If one could really get strong by going back on one’s words, many people
would be cheating others every day.
Gary couldn’t figure out these idioms, “In any case, I won’t be fooled
again!”
“It’s like this…” Wei Xiao gave him advice, “Old G, you should wash up
and change clothes, burn incense and worship Buddha before you start free
matching…”
Gary: “???”
Wei Xiao felt that this was an amazing move, “… Give yourself a full set of
buffs ahead of time, and you might be able to end up in a match with
FTW’s starters in the afternoon.”
Gary didn’t keep up with him, “I want to play a team game against you!”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were full of care for a little fool, “As long as you can
match up with us in the afternoon, you’ll be able to hammer our FTW into
negative points. If you get first place for L&P, wouldn’t you be able to do
whatever you want with us?”
Old G: “……”
Bai Cai and Ning Zhehan who were listening from the side, “……”
Even if they admired nothing else, they had to admire him. What a genius
of logic!
Yuan Ze, who was smoking a cigarette outside, could almost feel flowers
blooming in his ear as he listened.
Gary: “It seems to make a little sense…”
Old Dog Yuan picked up his Big Fool G, “Let’s go.”
Gary: “Eh……”
Yuan Ze’s brain hurt, “If you say another word, you can kill soldiers for six
hours.”
Gary: “…………”
Wei Xiao encouraged him, “Work hard!”
Gary turned his head and said nothing.
Yuan Ze looked at the other team’s jungler, then looked at his own jungler,
“……”
FTW had really picked up a treasure demon this year!
While eating, Bai Cai, who always liked to go for the fine and fancy things,
moved his chopsticks very slowly.
Wei Xiao glanced at him, “What are you doing?”
Bai Cai felt like his headache was splitting his head apart as he read his
private messages.
Wei Xiao leaned over.

Brother Cai was editing a Weibo post. There were huge chunks of text, and
it looked like a discussion post.
Oh, it was Gossip Emperor’s daily CP.
Wei Xiao was very curious, “Who are you doing?”
He glanced over it briefly and was shocked!
“Old Bai, don’t you feel disgusting?”
Little Ning was across from them. Bai Cai was afraid of being exposed and
poked him with a WeChat message, “Shut the hell up!”
Wei Xiao was also afraid that Bai Cai might commit suicide. He shut up
and typed, “Aren’t you shameless? What the hell is Feeding Vegetables CP?
Can’t you respect yourself a little and not push your own CP?”
Bai Cai thought to himself, as someone who went into business to push
themselves, don’t you feel embarrassed judging me?!
Bai Cai continued to type, “Who told you to end up in the limelight
yesterday? You 艹ed me up into the hot search!”
Wei Xiao replied, “Pay attention to your use of words. Things between us
are clean and innocent.”
Bai Cai scalp tensed up inexplicably, and he clicked to withdraw the

message––the captain could never see this sentence. If he saw it, Bai Cai
would be done for.
The Weibo post that Bai Cai was editing was a short article about Quiet and
White.
Last night, FTW’s official blog had officially announced their new jungler
Quiet, and Wei Xiao’s name was now known by everyone.
Therefore, the Feeding Vegetables CP was born and almost instantly took
over the hot search.
Wei Xiao and Bai Cai’s past was something that people wouldn’t know
about unless they looked into it, but once they did, they fell in love!
The rookie king from two years ago, an immortal jungler who was so
amazing he could fly up to the sky, had taken his own little support to go
and fight against all the major clubs.
Unfortunately, the rookie king disappeared, and the little support fell.
Two years later, the two of them reunited in FTW, and their dreams set sail
once again!
There was really both fluff and knives, and it was super exciting to follow.
Not to mention, Wei Xiao had hammered Zhou Xingfei into pieces last
night, and the sentence ‘apology not accepted’ was simply alpha-like
enough to explode, instantly converting countless fans.
Bai Cai’s eyes had been obviously red when he stepped down. That scene
when Wei Xiao protected him also pricked the hearts of countless girls.
There was no heavenly reason for the Feeding Vegetables CP not to become
popular!
Early in the morning, Bai Cai really felt a bit of an urge to go die when he
saw that pile of private messages.
He didn’t mind pushing his own CPs. After all, he often took advantage of
Close’s popularity and had become thoroughly shameless a long time ago.
However, this Feeding Vegetables CP was something he really didn’t dare

to push. He wasn’t scared of Wei Xiao; he was scared of the great demon
king!
It wasn’t easy for Brother Cai to make a living in FTW. He didn’t want to
end up on the streets at all!
However, the entire internet was already this fierce about it. As the glorious
Gossip Emperor, it would be too strange if he didn’t push out relevant
content––
The ‘marketing wizard’ who dared to engage in pushing all sorts of CP,
suddenly didn’t dare to push the Feeding Vegetables CP?
Why was that?
Bai Cai was afraid that the shrewd netizens would then find that there was a
vegetable stalk lying there under the Gossip Emperor Weibo.
So, Brother Vegetable could only push it, and he had to do it seriously.
He tried hard to pretend to be sincere and then secretly hint that there was
garbage hidden behind this CP, and the little angels should quickly run
away…
Life was too hard. Who the hell knew how many brain cells Bai Cai had
wasted on fixing up this short post!
Wei Xiao took out his cell phone and flipped through it for a long time. The
more he looked, the angrier he became, “What happened to Laozi’s
Seclusion CP!”
Gaining momentum hadn’t been easy, but it was all over now.
Even his Seclusion CP fans had gone over the wall to join Feeding
Vegetables.
To hell with feeding a damned vegetable!
Was Brother Cai’s popularity even 1/1000th of the captain’s popularity?!
Wei Xiao took a look at his own fan count, then looked at Brother Cai’s fan
count.
Brother Cai’s fan count wasn’t even as high as his own!

This was no good…
There was no point in two weaklings relying on each other. He wanted to

hug a big thigh!
Wei Xiao asked, “Have you seen the captain?
Speak of the devil, and the devil would appear; Chen Feng and Lu Feng had
just finished a meeting and had come downstairs to eat together.
Wei Xiao’s sharp eyes caught sight of them, and he beckoned to the two of
them, “Coach, captain, over here!”
Lu Feng looked over.
Wei Xiao was taken by surprise when his eyes met the captain’s, and Wei
Xiao felt a rare moment of shyness.
Hey! To hell with being shy, proper business was pressing.
Lu Feng came over, and Wei Xiao gave Bai Cai a push.
Bai Cai: “?”
Wei Xiao: “You’re full right? Make way for the captain.”
Bai Cai: “……………”
Wei Xiao sent Bai Cai a WeChat message from under the table, “… If this
matter succeeds, I’ll forgive the matter of you betraying me.”
Bai Cai looked at ‘this matter’ and his heart was full of grass and mud
horses!
Lu Feng had only just sat down when Wei Xiao shot him a sunny, bright
smile, “Captain, give this a try. It’s very delicious.”
He’d used a clean fork to hold up a piece of celery near Lu Feng’s mouth.
Feeding Vegetables CP?
He would let them all see what real feeding vegetables was!
There was a click as the expressionless Brother Vegetable snapped a photo

of this scene.
xiin: *facepalm*
Ch63 - Double queue happiness~
Lu Feng looked down at the stalk of celery in front of him.
Across from them, Chen Feng just wanted to cover his eyes. What did this
have to do with anything?
Close didn’t like celery. Not only celery, he didn’t like to eat any of these
kinds of vegetables that held a strange taste.
Wei Xiao had really failed at being Close’s number one hardcore fan; he
didn’t even know about such a thing.
Sure enough, this brat was just greedy for solo games with Close!
Lu Feng leaned forward slightly and bit down on Wei Xiao’s fork. He ate
the celery.
Wei Xiao’s smile grew even more brilliant, “Is it tasty?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Bai Cai, who’d finished snapping a few photos, confessed honestly, “Wei
Xiao thinks that my popularity is too low and only wants to be involved in a
CP with the captain.”
He quickly cleared his own name, plucking his clean and white vegetable
self out of the situation.
Wei Xiao leaned in close to Lu Feng and quickly explained the matter of the
Feeding Vegetables CP, then added proudly, “The two of us are the real
Feeding Vegetables CP!”
Lu Feng paused for a moment, then spoke to Bai Cai, “Send the photos to
Xiang Liu.”
Bai Cai: “Ah?”
Lu Feng said, “Take a few more photos and publish a ‘team daily
interactions’ post on the official blog.”
Chen Feng was rolling his eyes so hard they were about to fly out into the
sky. He hadn’t spoken, but he didn’t need to speak for his words to be
understood: You’re spoiling this little brat to death!
Wei Xiao was instantly happy, “Wonderful. I was just worrying over how to
send out these photos!”
This kind of photo was clearly taken by a teammate, and it definitely

couldn’t be sent out through the Gossip Emperor.
Bai Cai’s main account couldn’t be the one to send it, either. He’d already
been ‘cheated on’ enough and couldn’t be cheated on any further.
It would also be strange if Wei Xiao sent it out himself, and he’d originally
wanted to ask Little Ning…
But it was all good now. Lu Feng had solved the problem for him.
FTW’s official blog often published some daily snapshots about its team
members. Even if they’d never shown something as odd as ‘feeding
vegetables’, it had published photos of the team doing other things like
training, playing sports, or even eating..
However, if this photo was mixed up with some ordinary photos, it should
be okay…
Xiang Liu stared at these photos and comforted himself with that thought.
It had to be said that Bai Cai’s photography skills were very good. These
photos were too on point.
Wei Xiao was wearing a short sleeved shirt. His arms were pale, his slender
fingers held up a fork, and his posture was casual, but it still held the
willfulness of youth. The smile hung on the corner of his lips also carried a
trace of cynicism.
The angle at which he’d captured Close was even more amazing. His side
profile outlined his perfect jawline and high nose. His drooping eyelids and
eyelashes were distinct, and his black eyes stared unblinkingly at Wei Xiao.
The little sister in charge of the official blog gazed at the photo for three
whole minutes and couldn’t help saying, “How handsome…”
There was no doubt that the great demon king was still cold and cool, but
for some reason, in this photo…
The little sister was scared by the words that somehow wormed their way
into her head!
She’d actually felt that Close was alluring!
When it came to people who were cold and standoffish all year round, they
could seem shockingly sensual even if only a little bit of their collarbone at
their neckline peeked out due to them turning their head
The little sister in charge of the official blog patted herself on the face and
quickly clicked on ‘publish’.
He was really sinfully handsome. It was just a casually taken photo, yet it
was already so attractive.
By the time they finished eating, the comments in FTW’s official blog had
already exploded.
The official blog had published a total of four photos. The first one was of
Little Ning with hazy eyes when he had just woken up, the second was of
Yue Wenle holding three bags of potato chips, the third showed Bai Cai
running with headphones on, and the fourth was Wei Xiao and Lu Feng’s…
The fans who looked through the photos experienced this kind of thought
process: When they looked at the first photo, oh hey, granny gray was really
cute; the second photo, okay, God Le’s potato chip endorsement time was
coming up; the third photo wasn’t surprising, Brother Cai tried hard to
strengthen his body yet still looked like a weak shou…
All the way until they flipped to the fourth photo.
These two people’s high resolution, sweet interactions instantly washed

through the fans’ brains, leaving only ‘holy shit, holy shit, holy holy shit!’
in its wake.
The Seclusion CP sisters who’d gone over the wall to Feeding Vegetables
all returned home one after another, holding their banners high, waving
their flags, and shouting as they worked to disperse all the other evil cults!
What made FTW’s female fans even more stunned was that Close, who
never logged into Weibo all year round and seemed to have practically
forgotten that such an app existed, had logged in.
He forwarded the post.
How could the sneaky little goblin Wei Xiao miss out on this opportunity to
gain some popularity? He forwarded Close’s Weibo post and asked, “Was it
delicious?”
Close replied, “Delicious.”
In just 10 minutes, three simple Weibo posts that added up to only a few
sparse words sparked off essays that added up to tens of thousands of words
and tossed the Feeding Vegetables CP all the way out into outer space!
Tens of thousands of netizens collectively flew up to the skies. The

Seclusion sisters screamed so much they were dizzy from lack of oxygen!
Wei Xiao looked at his fan count that was taking off like a rocket and
showed off to Bai Cai, “See? This is the popularity and traffic flow of top
class players!”
Wei Xiao looked at the photo of himself and praised Bai Cai, “Good shot.”
Don’t ask, if you ask, he’d abandon the game and turn into a shadow!
After personally directing and involving himself in this event, Wei Xiao
tossed this matter to the back of his head.
Pushing CPs was just for fun. The proper way to indulge fans was to
achieve results.
Such a high fan count wasn’t only there for the sake of his face. Only when
they piled up the championship cups in front of them one by one would
they truly be proud!
Wei Xiao wouldn’t let down all these small fans who were cheering for
him.
In the afternoon, they didn’t draw lots to determine the team formations.
Yue Wenle claimed Brother Cai, and Little Ning queued on his own.
Ning Zhehan was quite nervous about this. He had confidence in 5v5 teams
but was afraid of being matched into a solo game.
Once he lost, he would be losing points for the team, and he didn’t want to
drag the team down.
Chen Feng patted him on the shoulder, “Don’t worry. It’s not that easy to
encounter solo games.”
This was due to the game mechanics. Each team held five people, and if
players could only single or double queue, then it was bound to be in a
2+2+1 combination. Relatively speaking, the demand for it meant that the
demand for single queue players was higher. The system would attempt to
avoid solo games and use single queue players to fill the gaps in 5v5 games.
Ning Zhehan nodded, “Okay!”
He would try his best to win even if it was a solo game.
Wei Xiao sat across from him. After hearing their words, he added, “What
are you scared of? Little Ning’s immortal warlock isn’t just for show. He
killed me three times during solo.”
Bai Cai also chimed in, “Yeah, it’s pretty good.”
Ning Zhehan’s eyes lit up.
Chen Feng was intrigued, “When did you play solo games together?”
Ning Zhehan replied, “It was before Brother Xiao joined the team.”
Chen Feng got it. A training partner.
Ning Zhehan instantly regained his self-confidence. That’s right. What was
there to be scared of in solo? He’d spent 10,000 yuan on solo that night, and
all of his famous heroes had been smeared into the ground. Hadn’t he lived
through that already?
He’d already survived such a disaster. What else was there to be scared of?
Besides, the grandmaster even praised his immortal warlock.
Speaking of which, during his last game that day, he’d actually killed the
grandmaster three times with his immortal warlock and had almost turned
the tables in that match!
Ning Zhehan was charged full of energy and headed bravely towards the
single queue!
Unfortunately, he didn’t encounter a single solo game all afternoon.

However, that was something that was only known later.
Since Yue Wenle was carrying the vegetable, Wei Xiao could finally pester
Lu Feng.
When the two of them began matching, Wei Xiao muttered under his breath
continuously.
Lu Feng was close to him and heard him very clearly.
Bai Cai could also hear it––
Wei Xiao: “God Kim God Kim God Kim, amitabha, God Kim, come
quickly!”
Indeed. He was calling for Kim Sung-hyun. He wanted to play a doubles

match against him and wipe clean his shame even in his dreams.
Ding-dong. Wei Xiao matched into a game. He opened his eyes, saw that it
was a 5v5 game, and was a little disappointed.
Bai Cai and Yue Wenle were the first to match into a game. By now, they’d
already selected their talents and entered the game.
When they saw the IDs on the opposite side…
Bai Cai & Yue Wenle: “F*ck!”
Wei Xiao was going through the BP process. He looked over, “What?”
Bai Cai wanted to strangle him to death, “I f*cking matched up against Kim
Sung-hyun and Li Heran!”
Wei Xiao: “………… F*ck!”
Language was broad and profound. Bai Cai and Yue Wenle’s ‘f*ck’ was full
of unhappiness and shock, while Wei Xiao’s ‘f*ck’ was full of envy and
jealousy.
Wei Xiao stuck his head over to take a look, and his eyes almost turned
green with envy…
Red team: Bai Cai, Yue Wenle.
Blue team: Kim Sung-hyun, Li Heran.
Wei Xiao was super angry, “Next time, we’re going to queue first!”
Bai Cai was also super angry, “Old Yue, let’s surrender at 8 minutes!”
Coach Chen sneered, “Surrender, then. I’ll deduct 30,000 from each person
who surrenders.”
Bai Cai: “…Sorry, Old Yue, I won’t surrender. Even if you transfer 60,000
to me on the spot, I still won’t surrender!”
Wei Xiao’s heart was incredibly itchy, “Look, the captain and I just matched
into a game too. How about we…” Switch computers so that everyone
could be happy.
Chen Feng’s eyes shot daggers in his direction.
Wei Xiao’s words made an abrupt u-turn, “… Focus on the game and try
our best to win 12 points.”
In FTW’s first game, Wei Xiao and Lu Feng dominated the 5v5 game,
suppressing the other side until they fled in defeat.
Brother Cai and God Le were an ADC and support pair. When going up
against Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran, it was just like a mouse meeting a
cat.
Although they didn’t surrender at the 8 minute mark, they were only able to
hold on until the 18th minute before Kim Sung-hyun pierced through their
resurrection crystal with an arrow and sent them out of the game.
One double queue team won 6 points, while the other double queue team
lost 6 points. FTW remained steady at 0 points.
Fortunately, Little Ning performed well and had won a game.

In the second round, Brother Cai absolutely refused to be the team room
owner. Yue Wenle’s luck was pretty good after he became the room master,
and he no longer matched them up with immortals. They were able to win
the next game steadily.
In the second game, Wei Xiao and Lu Feng continued with another
overwhelming victory, and it was a crushing victory right from the start.
The top lane and jungler partnered up and soared, while the other party’s
top lane towers seemed to be filled with mines. Anyone who went over
would die, and even the towers themselves seemed to explode one after
another, causing the other team’s mental state to collapse!
They won four games in a row, but Wei Xiao was a bit unhappy because the
wins were too easy.
Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran were clearly also double queueing. Why
couldn’t he and the captain run into them!
Wei Xiao thought for a moment, “Captain, let me be the room master!”
It must be that the captain’s ‘aura’ was too strong and had scared people
away!
Lu Feng knew what he was thinking. He transferred over the room

ownership.
Wei Xiao rubbed his hands, then clicked to start queueing…
No, wait!
The person with the best luck in their team was Brother Cai!
It just so happened that Bai Cai had finished a game and was looking over
the data in the settlement interface.
Wei Xiao immediately spoke up, “Brother Cai, come and click for the
captain and I.”
Bai Cai: “???”

Wei Xiao urged him, “Hurry, I believe in you.”
Bai Cai got it. Wei Xiao wanted to borrow his bad luck.
“I…” Bai Cai was about to refuse.
Wei Xiao tempted him, “If you can match us up with Kim Sung-hyun and
Li Heran, I’ll immediately transfer you 10,000 yuan.”
Brother Cai: “Deal!”
Bai Cai clicked on the match button, and they entered a game.
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up, “A doubles game!”
There was hope.
Bai Cai was also startled, “This luck…” Was it really so poisonous? It
couldn’t really be Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran, right?!
Wei Xiao rubbed his fists, “Captain, what will you use?”
Lu Feng: “Death knight.”
Wei Xiao: “Then, I’ll use the shadow thief?”
Lu Feng: “Sure.”
They locked in their heroes and entered the game. Wei Xiao saw the IDs on
the opposite side.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle were also very curious, “Did you really match
up against them?”
The corner of Bai Cai’s lips were twitching, “Old Wei, I think these two are
also worth 10,000.”
Martian text had already popped out from the other side, “U 2 double Q?”
They hadn’t matched up with Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran, but they’d run
into Gary and Yuan Ze instead.
Brother Vegetable’s luck was really the limit.

Ch64 - I just want to mess with
you.
Wei Xiao had ‘suffered’ all afternoon, but he was now very excited. He
spoke to Bai Cai, “Wait.”
Bai Cai kept having the feeling that what would happen next wouldn’t be
the money transfer that he wanted.
Sure enough…
Wei Xiao said, “If they win, I’ll transfer you 20,000.”
Bai Cai: “……………”
Could you f*cking act like a person? Why did they have to win for him to
make money? Shouldn’t he get money if Wei Xiao won?!
Wait, Bai Cai felt that he’d been led off track.
It was Yuan Ze and Gary! Were these two not worth 10,000?!
Wei Xiao really did look down on them a bit.
After experiencing the world’s number one, he always felt that these other
mixed teams were lacking a little something.
There was no doubting Yuan Ze and Gary’s personal strength, but their
doubles play…
In any case, it wasn’t in the same class as the Koi team!

Kim Sung-hyun would often hold training matches with them, but it was
mostly for the sake of feeling out their tactics and getting a grasp on their
5v5 strategies.
Of course, having something was better than having nothing. Wei Xiao’s
spirit was still filled with energy!
FTW was the red team. Close used the death knight, and Quiet used the
shadow thief.
On the blue team, Marshal used the berserker warrior, and Gary used the
hidden thief.
Death knight & shadow thief vs berserker warrior & hidden thief.
There was nothing to be said about this line-up. They just needed to fight!
Due to the official blog post that FTW had sent out at noon, many people
were stalking their live broadcast feeds. After seeing that Lu Feng and Wei
Xiao were double queuing, their feed had attracted countless fans.
At first, the CP fans were just happy to enjoy the sugar, but then the
technical fans and business fans had all arrived to see the great demon
king’s top-lane and the little demon king’s jungler.
They wouldn’t have known if they didn’t look, but then they were shocked
after watching. What was this!
2 against 4, but they just chased after the other side as the four tried to run
away, what was going on?!
Everyone said that the winter training server was filled with first-class
professional players. If they were this crappy, shouldn’t they just go back
home to farm?!
The haters didn’t believe that it was because FTW’s top lane and jungler
who were so strong; they only blamed their opponents for being too weak
and not deserving to win.
But now, it was great. White Cabbage’s little hands had clicked the match
button and drawn two of the real powerhouses in the league.
Last year’s individual competition runner up, Gary, and his team captain,
Yuan Ze.
The haters were all excited, “Look! FTW is going to show their true face
now!”
“I bet Quiet will be chased and hammered by Gary.”
“I’m not betting. It’s not worth betting on something so obvious.”
“What are you watching Quiet for? Take a look at Close and Marshal,
okay? It’s the battle of the century between immortals, isn’t it interesting?!”
Interesting, very interesting. It was to the point where many popular

anchors stopped queueing for their own games and switched to observation
mode to act as temporary commentators.
However, it wasn’t long before the haters were drawn to Quiet.
They all said that they wouldn’t watch him, that he wasn’t worth watching,
and it wasn’t interesting, but later…
It was really damned interesting!
What duel of the century? Just look at the little lunatic’s bravery and
resourcefulness as he took over the entire arena!
There were four different talents in the canyon, all of which were high DPS
with high explosive power. As long as they were developed well, they could
all take away someone’s life with a set of skills.
There was no need to mention the shadow thief who could create light arcs
by linking up skills; once the nine light arcs dropped down, it could block
gods and kill buddhas.
The death knight’s full name was the ‘Knight of Death’. It had two forms
and eight skills in total. One form was light and agile, and the other dealt
heavy damage and control. It could retreat and attack, and its mobility could
make the other side all kinds of unhappy.
The hidden thief and shadow thief were both talent specs that had high
upper limits when it came to maneuvers. Once the hidden thief could create
a clone of itself, it would be like fighting one against two. The key point
was that opponents couldn’t tell which one was the real one. If they didn’t
play well, they would end up wasting all their skills on the clone.
The berserker warrior was a veritable 1v1 daddy. Its ultimate move was like
a true one-hit KO. As long as it landed accurately, it didn’t matter who the
opponent was because they’d then be a corpse lying dead on the ground.
Shadow thief vs hidden thief.
Death knight vs berserker warrior.
Even just from the talent choices, the audience could already smell the
shocking stinging scent of gunpowder!
And neither side let the audience down. A fierce fight broke out right at the
start!
In the jungle area, Wei Xiao and Gary started fighting right away. The two
of them exchanged attacks even before the first little bear was killed.
Gary might be silly and dazed in real life, but he was very clever and alert
in the game. His positioning was extremely exquisite, and he was able to
deal damage to the little monster and Wei Xiao at the same time.
Snatching up jungle monsters was equivalent to farming money. Only by

farming could one upgrade and buy equipment. If they were able to get
enough money to buy equipment even one second earlier than their
opponent, then the damage they dealt would be able to skyrocket and crush
the other party!
Gary wanted to scare Wei Xiao into retreat and also take advantage of the
situation to clear out the jungle. His little abacus made tinny, clacking
sounds with his calculations.
Unfortunately…
Wei Xiao, who wasn’t short on money in real life, was even more thrifty
than Bai Cai when it came to the game.
Trying to trick him out of his jungle monster? Dream on!
The two of them poked at each other, and the little bear was teased
miserably.
The hidden thief took it down to half health. Seeing that the little bear was
about to topple, the shadow thief charged out and landed a set of damage
skills on the hidden thief. The hidden thief was worried that the bear would
be snatched away and could only fight back.
So, the little bear went back to its cave and healed itself back to full health.
The shadow thief was the next one to go and play with it, but when it only
had a third of its health left and was about to give up its life, the hidden
thief charged out to make trouble. The shadow thief tossed the little bear
aside and switched to fight with the hidden thief instead.
The live stream commentators: “I don’t know why, but my heart really
aches for that bear.”
The scrolling comments all expressed one after another, “What did the little
bear do wrong? Why does it have to be teased like this?!”
“They’re really worse than beasts! They’re not even letting off a bear!”
“Please take a look at the lane. I feel that the soldiers from both sides are
also very miserable…”
The jungle zone was where the two junglers ‘abused small animals’, and in
the lane there were two daddies bullying the little soldiers.
The soldiers in the canyon were hard working and walked forward steadily
day after day, heading constantly towards their death.
Today, however, there were many difficulties during their journey. They
were either killed before they even stepped out from beneath the tower or
they were dragged around with only a sliver of health left and not allowed
to die.
The so-called ‘killing soldiers’ meant that players would only receive
experience and money when they were the ones to deal the death blow to
the soldier.
Top-level lane fighting was where players themselves didn’t miss a single
soldier while also trying to ensure that the other party couldn’t get any. This
way, the gap in farming experience and money would soon grow, and it
would become easy to crush one’s opponent.
The death knight and berserker warrior in the lane went back and forth.
Neither of them had ultimate moves, but they were still able to play out an
aura that made it seem like they had thousands of troops behind thim.
Neither side was willing to let the other go, and neither was willing to give
up any of their soldiers, yet neither side could gain the upper hand.
They were about to reach level six. Someone finally spoke out the truth,
“It’s clearly a doubles match. How come it feels like we’re watching two
solo games?”
That’s right!
It was clearly a 2v2 game, but these four people were playing it like a solo
match.
Lu Feng and Yuan Ze were on par with each other.
Wei Xiao and Gary were also at the same level.
The situation was at a stalemate, but because there was so much detail
involved in the players’ operations, it made it incredibly interesting to
watch.
This kind of game where it was completely unclear who would win or lose
was the type that made the audience feel the most tense and nervous!
“They’re at level six!” One temporary commentator spoke up, “The four of
them reached level six at the same time, amazing!”
Level six meant that they now had ultimate moves. The four heroes in the
arena really let loose.
If everything prior was simply small skirmishes, now…
Wei Xiao spoke to Lu Feng, “Captain!”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
In fact, even before Wei Xiao had opened his mouth, Lu Feng had already
used a movement skill.
The death knight’s original form was far more mobile than that of the
berserker warrior. By the time Yuan Ze realized it, it was already too late.
“Old G, run!”
Gary was very keen. This man, who’d been unwilling to let go of even a
small jungle monster just now, immediately entered stealth and used a skill,
instantly pulling away from the shadow thief.
Wei Xiao chuckled, “Got you!”
The scene that unfolded next shocked the audience into a daze.
“They lured the tiger away from the mountain!”
Indeed, the death knight’s first movement skill seemed like it was about to
cooperate with Wei Xiao to attack Gary, but its second movement skill and
flash took it straight into the berserker warrior’s face.
Attacking Gary had been a bluff. The real attack was aimed at Yuan Ze.
Yuan Ze was stunned and cursed, “F*ck!”
He reacted extremely quickly and used his ultimate move to get rid of the
death knight’s control skill and fight back at the same time.
However, the shadow thief was right behind him. After landing a full set of
linked skills, eight light arcs exploded over half the canyon.
Yuan Ze’s eyes were wide open as he watched his health drop. He clicked
on the heal skill and attempted to use this small amount of health to retreat.
But, how could Lu Feng give him this chance? The death knight switched
forms and stabbed accurately at the berserker warrior.
Even if the berserker warrior was in a berserk state, Yuan Ze’s small
amount of health still wasn’t enough to hold up against the death knight’s
attack.
Gary, who’d fallen into their trap, rushed over, but how could there be any
way for him to save his captain?
First Blood!
Close killed Marshal and took first blood!
The audience was high, “Beautiful!”
“There’s substance behind this cooperation!”
“I really never thought that my great demon king’s acting skills were so
outstanding.”
“Not to mention God Yuan. As someone who was watching from God’s
perspective, even I believed that they were going to go for Gary.”
“I didn’t expect that at all…”

“I thought Close’s black hole only worked in individual matches.”
Close’s black hole was a nickname that other players had given him,
because he was really black hearted and fierce in the individual
competitions. He could play around with the other side until they were
going around in circles and didn’t even know how they’d lost.
So, they’d given him a title––Black Hole Close.
Previously, they’d never seen him trick others outside of the individual
competitions, but now…
How cool!
Some fans couldn’t help but think further, “If my great demon king can use
his black hole in 5v5…”
“If that’s the case, then who cares about Y1? The world championships will
be ours!”
“Hey, upstairs, you really know how to talk, tell me more!”
The audience only saw how FTW had taken the lead, but inside the training
room, Chen Feng was dazed for a long time.
He’d been standing behind Lu Feng ever since the start of the game. He’d
been listening to their communication while watching their match.
At the start, Wei Xiao had said to Lu Feng, “Captain, don’t treat me like a
person in this game.”
Chen Feng had just wanted to knock on his little head: What kind of words
were those!
Then, he heard Wei Xiao continue, “Just let loose and fight. I’ll cooperate
with you.”
He knew where the problem lay in Lu Feng’s doubles competitions. The

rhythm would drag if he cooperated with his teammates, but if he didn’t
cooperate with his teammate, they would also fall behind. That was why it
was difficult for him to win in a doubles game against strong teams.
Wei Xiao didn’t want Lu Feng to wait for him; he would catch up to him on
his own. That was why he told him not to treat him like a person.
Lu Feng’s lips curved. He asked back, “Want to win?”
Wei Xiao: “Of course!”
Lu Feng: “Let’s act out a play.”
Wei Xiaoxiao’s ears perked up, “Eh?”
Lu Feng spoke slowly, “Like this…”
As everyone knew, Lu Feng’s specialty was solo, and Wei Xiao’s favorite
was also solo.
Solo was almost synonymous with the two of them, especially for those
who were familiar with them.
For example, Yuan Ze and Gary.
At the start of the match, they’d separated to face their opponents and
turned a proper doubles match into two solo games. Wei Xiao and Lu Feng
had done this intentionally.
In order to give Yuan Ze and Gary an illusion.
How cool was it to fight alone? What kind of teammate support did they
need?
When the time came, the two of them, who had seemed to have agreed to
fight individually, made a feint, scared Gary away, and besieged Yuan Ze!
Inside the L&P training room.
Old G was grumpy, “They tricked me!”

Yuan Ze had a cigarette in his mouth. Although he’d been tricked, there was
a smile hanging on his lips, “Soulmates, hey.”
Gary: ???”
Don’t use the fact that his Chinese wasn’t good to bully him; these words
were clearly used for lovers!
Yuan Ze put out the mostly finished cigarette in the ashtray and grew
serious, “I’ll take Little Quiet.”
Gary: “!”
Yuan Ze stared at the unreserved, willful crimson shadow thief on the

screen and said, “Don’t you want to solo with Close?”
Gary: “But…”
He was even more interested in finding Quiet and getting even!
Yuan Ze narrowed his eyes, “I’ll teach you another idiom.”
Old G: “Ah?”
Yuan Ze resurrected. After switching forms, he shot his blade towards the
two people on the opposing side. His voice rang full of excitement amidst
the attacks, “Beating up mandarin ducks.”
xiin: Yuan Ze is so grumpy…

Ch65 - Beating up mandarin ducks
Beating what?
Old G’s Chinese only allowed him to understand the first half, and he
couldn’t understand the rest.
Since it involved beating something up, then, “Okay! Let’s beat up

mandarin ducks!”
Fortunately, the L&P translator wasn’t there. Otherwise, they’d probably

slip by accident and fall flat on their face.
Yuan Ze didn’t say anything else after this sentence. He stared at the screen,
and his black earring flashed in the light.
The shadow thief was really amusing.
Shadow thieves that were played well were really the most fun.
Although Close had taken a kill, and FTW now had a small advantage, the
tides shifted again when Yuan Ze’s berserker warrior returned to the
battlefield.
He used his ultimate move in the lane, and his hero’s physique enlarged by
two sizes in its frenzy mode. It wore heavy armor and had a bloody long
sword that could leave a long gouge in the ground; the sword emitted
smoke with every basic attack.
This was a berserker warrior’s passive ability. After their ultimate move
was used, their basic attacks would receive an attack bonus.
The blade split apart the death knight and shadow thief on the other side,
forcing them to dodge to the side. They were no longer so close together.
Gary: “Go!”
The hidden thief created a clone, and both figures charged at the death
knight who’d dodged to the left at the same time. Close wasn’t anxious, and
he switched to his agile form, using the movement speed bonus to avoid
two attacks.
Old G didn’t think that he’d be able to hit him either. He just wanted to
keep him busy!
Close saw through his intentions and spoke into his headset, “Watch out for
Yuan Ze.”
Wei Xiao: “Got it.”
The shadow thief was much more flexible than the berserker warrior was.
Wei Xiao went ahead and stepped into the bushes, evading the berserker
warrior’s attack before lying in wait for an opportunity to attack.
Yuan Ze’s thin lips curved up slightly, and he manipulated the berserker
warrior into the jungle zone.
The situation had changed dramatically!
The audience watching the game were so nervous that they were staring
intently at the screen.
Originally, it had been top-lane against top-lane, jungler against jungler, but
now, they’d switched positions!
Gary was caught up with Close.
Yuan Ze had focused on Quiet!
In Glory’s general profession restraint, warriors and knights had a natural

advantage over thieves. Although different talent specs had different
countering effects, the death knight and berserker warrior could both
suppress the squishy shadow thief and hidden thief and smear them into the
ground.
In a situation where their farmed experience and money were the same, the
shadow thief and hidden thief wouldn’t be able to gain the upper hand
against them.
However, both of them were able to hold on!
Regardless of whether it was Gary or Wei Xiao, both of them were still
stable despite their natural disadvantages!
This doubles game was once again split into two solo games, but the
situation was now quite different.
Gary was very worthy of having come second place in the singles
competition. His personal strength was beyond doubt, and he was one of the
few top class players who could counter Close.
He used the weaker hidden thief and faced off against Close’s death knight,
but it wasn’t in vain, and he wasn’t flustered at all. He created clones that
could practically fly up to heaven, and even the audience that had god’s
perspective couldn’t tell which was the real one and which one was the
clone.
Close’s death knight was even more godly.
He very rarely used this kind of top-lane hero in 5v5 games, but as the king
of solo, he had to have mastered this kind of solo talent spec.
There was no doubt that he used it very well. He switched seamlessly

between the two forms and linked up the eight skills into an infinite series
of combinations, dazzling the audience and causing them to exclaim, “Is
this hand speed even possible?!”
The fight on that side was fierce and heated, and the jungle zone was also
very thrilling.
At first, fans thought that Quiet was a weak spot that could easily be taken
down by Yuan Ze. After that, Yuan Ze could pair up with Old G to kill off
Close.
What surprised them was that Quiet didn’t lose out at all. Under the daddy
berserker warrior’s suppression, his shadow thief was still having a good
time and stirring up the winds and water.
The berserker warrior nickname was ‘the ten second real man’. It was a
little weak after its ultimate move ended.
Wei Xiao seized this opportunity to deal out a crazy amount of damage and
wore down two thirds of Yuan Ze’s health.
Yuan Ze’s health bar showed that his health was in a seriously injured state,
but Yuan Ze had no intentions of going back to recover at all. He locked in
on the full health shadow thief like an old father who was playing with a
child, kind and gentle…
The next second.
The berserker warrior transformed, armor covering its body. It stabbed

straight at the shadow thief!
The temporary commentators in the live broadcast room exclaimed, “What

an accurate grasp of timing!”
What old father, what kind and gentle, what playing…
All of that was bullshit!
The frenzied berserker warrior was just like a war god. Every attack
attempted to cut apart the sky and cover the earth!
This daddy was a real daddy. One attack could stab people to death.
Wei Xiao had calculated the time for Yuan Ze’s ultimate move and had
already been ready to retreat, but he hadn’t expected that Yuan Ze would be
so fierce and didn’t even leave a 0.01 second delay. He linked up his
ultimate move with a basic attack, executing all of it within an instant and
aiming it at the invisible shadow thief.
Wei Xiao used a movement skill to avoid the main attack, but he couldn’t
escape the blade that swept over.
He was at full health. Reasonably speaking, he shouldn’t die.
However…
Wei Xiao felt the same sense of uncertainty he felt when he played solo
games against the captain.
F*ck!
There was poison.
When did Old Bandit Yuan get it!
Wei Xiao’s consciousness could keep up, but there was no way for the
shadow thief to escape.
The berserker warrior’s blade swept over. It could empty out the shadow
thief’s health at any second, but as Wei Xiao had expected, he was still left
with a tiny sliver of health. However, the poison dealt continuous damage,
and it only needed to tick once before the screen in front of him turned
dark.
Quiet had been killed by Marshal!
It was really damned sinister.
Wei Xiao inhaled lightly. His hand was itchy: Yuan Zewas really worthy of
being someone from the Team of Gods, how awesome.
On the other side, Lu Feng had also killed Gary. Although Old G died, he’d
managed to gain enough time for Yuan Ze.
After killing Wei Xiao, Yuan Ze didn’t immediately go up to attack Close.

Instead, he swept through the lower jungle area and forcibly snatched away
a pile of resources, making up for the farming he’d lost out on due to his
death.
The resurrection time was short in the early stages of the game. Wei Xiao
soon returned back to the battlefield.
Lu Feng: “Hand it over to me.”
Wei Xiao: “Let me try again.”
Lu Feng glanced at him from the side and said, “Mm.”
Chen Feng, who was standing behind them, gripped his notebook tightly.
Letting Wei Xiao fight against Yuan Ze was great. Even if they lost this
doubles match, FTW would still have earned big.
Yuan Ze practically represented the ceiling of the top-lane position in Glory.

If Wei Xiao could use a thief and survive under his hands, it meant that
nobody would be able to suppress his thief.
How crazy could a jungler player who nobody could suppress be? Just look
at last year’s world champion Y1 as an example.
The audience watching the fight were also very excited, “Can any big god
explain for us? When did God Yuan obtain the poison?”
Although they were watching from the god’s perspective, the audience
might end up ignoring some details when they focused on a particular hero.
Yuan Ze had managed to obtain poison during a time when even the
audience wasn’t paying attention. How deep his schemes were could be
seen from this point alone.
Poison was a state.
Some jungle monsters would provide gold and experience, while others
provided buffs.
Poison was one of those buffs. Once the poison jungle monster was killed,
the player would get the poison buff.
There was a time limit on the poison, and it could only be used once.
Yuan Ze played like a kind and gentle old father, and it seemed as though he
was hiding from the shadow thief’s attacks, losing two thirds of his health
along the way. It seemed as though he wasn’t doing anything…
In fact, he’d been acting the whole damned time!
Lu Feng and Wei Xiao had collectively pulled an act on Old Dog Yuan, so
he’d turned around and done the same to Wei Xiaoxiao.
After listening to the explanation, the audience sighed deeply, “Amazing.

God Yuan is a film emperor whose career has been delayed by e-sports!”
At the start, Lu Feng and Wei Xiao had deliberately split up and played the
doubles game like solo matches, stabbing Yuan Ze with a knife and sending
him back home.
However, they actually planned to play doubles and not have two solo
games in the doubles.
Yuan Ze was really tricky. He’d caught onto this point and started to split up
the doubles competition.
You don’t want to solo?
I’ll force you to solo.
You want to cooperate?
Have you asked the blade in my hand for permission?
Yuan Ze’s previous ‘beating up mandarin ducks’ wasn’t a joke.
He performed his duty perfectly and definitely wouldn’t allow this ‘pair of
mandarin ducks’ to get together.
This was extremely detrimental to FTW.

Joking and messing around aside, in terms of current comprehensive
strength, Gary was stronger than Wei Xiao.
Without evaluating their talent specs and simply basing it on experience, the
difference between the two of them was more than just a small amount.
With Close as a comparison point, if Wei Xiao soloed against him, he had a
win rate of 30%. For Gary, it was 40%, and with certain heroes, it might
even be 50-60%!
This gap was directly related to why Gary could hold down Close while
Wei Xiao was gradually getting beaten down by Yuan Ze.
The berserker warrior had a natural advantage against the shadow thief.
Yuan Ze’s comprehensive experience was also superior to Wei Xiao’s.
In this doubles game, FTW was done for.
Everyone thought this way, including Chen Feng who was focused on
watching the game.
He wasn’t worried about losing, and he even hoped that Wei Xiao would
lose.
This kid had a very strong temperament. Letting him lose might be even
more exciting.
It was just…
Everyone felt that FTW would lose, but the two people in the arena didn’t
seem to think so!
What was this conclusion based on?
Were they going to lose just because their opponent was strong? Or because
they’d been suppressed? Or were they going to lose because the situation
was one-sided?
Impossible!
Wei Xiao might not know how it was for anyone else, but in any case, he
didn’t have the word ‘lose’ in his brain at all!
He’d died three times. Due to the berserker warrior’s control skill, the
shadow thief had no way to link up its skills, and a shadow thief who
couldn’t link up its skills couldn’t use its light arcs.
His main damage dealing skill had been targeted, and Wei Xiao was really
feeling uncomfortable.
Wei Xiao suddenly said, “Captain, can you help me get an immunity buff?”
Immunity and poison were the same. They were buffs that could be gained
from jungle monsters, and after obtaining it and using it at the right time, a
player could avoid control skills for two seconds.
Wei Xiao wanted those two seconds of immunity to avoid the berserker
warrior’s control skill and stack up the shadow thief’s linked skills.
He wanted to fight back!
The Chen Feng who’d heard their conversation practically blurted the
words out without thinking, “No way!”
It was too impulsive.
The game had already dragged on for 20 minutes. The later it went, the
longer the resurrection time after death would be.
Wei Xiao definitely couldn’t die again. If he fell, then Yuan Ze and Gary
would be able to push all the way to their resurrection crystal in one go!
At the moment, their only hope was to play steadily and find a chance to
break through and attack Old G…
Lu Feng: “Come.”
He was really going to help him get the immunity buff!
So what if he got it? Even if it was Close’s shadow thief, it also wouldn’t be
possible to kill Yuan Ze based on the difference in their farming.
Alright, fine. Mother Hen Chen wasn’t going to worry about it––it was just
a free matching game, and it didn’t matter if they lost. They could let loose
and play around!
Yuan Ze was very vigilant. Although he’d been suppressing Wei Xiao the
whole time, he hadn’t taken the situation lightly for a single second.
For a full 20 minutes, on the surface it seemed that Yuan Ze was more than
equal to the task, manipulating the berserker warrior like a buddha that was
pressing down on Quiet’s little head.
But in fact, only he knew how difficult it had been for him over these past
20 minutes.
Just a little bit of carelessness, and this little monkey would jump up and
bite him.
Yuan Ze didn’t doubt that Wei Xiao wanted to fight back. This kid hadn’t
settled down for even half a second.
However, it was really interesting.
Yuan Ze really hoped that this match could last for another 20 minutes.
Due to his vigilance, he’d always paid attention to Wei Xiao’s state.
If the shadow thief wanted to fight back, he definitely needed the immunity
buff.
Yuan Ze wouldn’t give Wei Xiao the chance to touch the immunity buff
jungle monster.
Wei Xiao also didn’t try to enter the jungle area. He didn’t even show any
intention of heading there, continuing to fight against Yuan Ze and trade
skills and attacks. He seemed very invested.
Until Old G called out, “Close is fighting the immunity monster.”
Yuan Ze was surprised, “F*ck!”
In that instant, Wei Xiao used up two displacement skills and a flash. He
flew over a distance of 800 meters and arrived near Close before Old G
could rush over.
As a maniac at controlling health volumes, Close had controlled the health

of the jungle monster to extreme levels.
Wei Xiao didn’t need to waste a single bit of his energy levels and could
directly use an auto attack to obtain the immunity buff.
Gary was too close to them. In order to open up the field of vision for his
team, he’d exposed himself and couldn’t run.
Yuan Ze rushed over. He definitely couldn’t let Wei Xiao kill Old G. As
soon as Old G died, this game would…
Wei Xiao was actually waiting for Yuan Ze to rush over.
Kill Old G?
That was too unambitious.
The shadow thief that had been suppressed for 20 minutes was like a streak
of crimson as it rushed over. Both of the attacks from its first skill landed on
the berserker warrior, followed by a basic attack and the third skill…
Yuan Ze reacted extremely quickly and had already started up his ultimate
move, charging straight towards Wei Xiao’s face.
Wei Xiao didn’t retreat at all. After activating the immunity buff, he
continued to use the small soldiers to link up his moves.
In the training room, Chen Feng sucked in a breath while watching this
scene.
Wei Xiao’s hands were very good looking. They were slender like a piano
player’s, and they moved over the keyboard as fast as streaks of light,
flashes of sharp, sword-like light.
One second, two seconds.
The shadow thief’s energy reserve was filled up, and the light arcs exploded
over half the screen. Based on the energy the shadow thief had
accumulated, there was no doubt that he’d brushed out eight light arcs!
The Red Sky Blade’s crimson cape was flying in the air, and the shadow
thief within it was cold and merciless. There were only the brilliant light
arcs that covered the sky, taking away the enemy’s blood and life!
At the moment of death, the berserker warrior was able to land a hit on the
shadow thief.
However, Wei Xiao had already killed Yuan Ze!
The two of them died together!
What was even more deadly was that the shadow thief’s light arcs had also
swept over Old G. At this time, he was only left with half of his health.
The death knight who hefted up its blade and rushed over was a real death
knight.
––A knight that gave death to its enemies.
Victory!
Close ended the game.
After exiting the game, Yuan Ze was still staring at the screen.
Gary yelled out ruefully, “Damn it!”

He turned his head to look at his own captain and froze.
This scene was even more shocking to Old G than losing the game.
The scarlet ‘Defeat’ that flashed on the screen was reflected in Yuan Ze’s
eyes.
It was as though a black flame was burning.
It was the long lost enthusiasm that had now been thoroughly ignited!
Ch66 - The captain is the best!
Gary: “Captain…”
Yuan Ze: “I’m going to go smoke.”
He picked up the lighter on the table and walked out of the training room.
There was an observation platform at the end of the corridor. The afterglow
from the setting sun was a haze over the blue sea water, like fire on a cold
field of snow, burning up the sea and sky.
Yuan Ze lit his cigarette. The flame turned into smoke, but his palm felt
extremely hot.
He inhaled a heavy puff of the cigarette and then looked down at his palm
through the smoke from his exhale.
His palm was empty, holding thin calluses from countless matches played
over the years.
Training games, the regular season, playoffs, domestic finals, global

shortlist, global elimination matches, global finals.
Countless matches, countless games, countless victories and defeats…
He’d thought that he’d gotten used to it, adapted to it, and was now numb to
it all.
Now, in a simple doubles game, a fire had ignited in his palm.
He wanted to win, wanted to win the game.
He wanted to defeat that wild and arrogant little bastard!

Yuan Ze spat out a ring of smoke and calmed down his restless heart.
He was starting to look forward to this year’s global competition.
Really looking forward to it.
When he got back to the training room, Yuan Ze immediately pulled out his
chair and sat down, “Old G, let’s score.”
Gary’s eyes lit up, “We’ll play with FTW tonight?”
Yuan Ze: “Yes.”
They would obtain first place in the scoreboard. He wanted to teach this
little friend a lesson in the 5v5 team competition.
FTW had won against L&P. This news exploded over the internet.
The melon seed eating crowd who didn’t know what had happened all
asked, “What’s the situation? The domestic competition hasn’t even started
yet, so why has the international competition started up ahead of time?”
“L&P? Last year’s world runner up? Are you FTW fans crazy and
daydreaming in broad daylight?”
“That’s not right, at this hour, the points competition hasn’t even started yet
in the training camp. What win are you guys talking about.”
The fans who were spiraling up into the sky immediately started to push
and sell enthusiastically:
“Don’t walk by, don’t pass by, don’t miss out, Close and Quiet’s doubles
match is worth watching!”
“The great demon king and little demon king’s wonderful counter attack,
overturning a desperate situation, I could watch it ten thousand times!”
“Quiet career fan reporting in. Forget the CP; Quiet, fight hard for mama
and hammer Old Dog Yuan to death!”
It was a free match game, a game that held no incentives or rewards, as
common as an entertainment game between players. However, due to the
wonderful plays that the four people involved had made, the audience’s
senses were fully ignited.
There were many senior analysis emperors in the Glory circle, and one of
the most famous ones was Brother Fang.
Brother Fang lived up to his name. He had a way with words, he was a
professional critic, and his commentary in his replay videos could easily
flame players into space and out of the solar system.
Brother Fang, who had such a serious commitment to making all

contestants enter seclusion, sent out an analysis video. He was objective and
calm all the way until the last wave of operations in the doubles match.
“… Did you think that the shadow thief merely used the immunity buff to
link up his moves and charge up light arcs to kill Old Dog Yuan?”
“Wrong! Close’s hidden maneuvering and operations also factor in here, as

well as Quiet’s desperate move. Their lives are tied together with a thread,
and they have absolute trust in each other!”
“Feel it for yourselves, experience it in detail. Close’s timing in entering the

jungle, the control over the damage dealt by his skills, the manipulation of
that last bit of health on the monster. Even a computer can’t calculate as
accurately as he did!”
“Go on, keep watching it, look at Quiet’s movements and flash. Moving one
second earlier would have alarmed Old Dog Yuan, but he would have
missed out on the immune monster if he was one second later. The shadow
thief’s margin of error was less than 0.01 seconds!”
“I know that someone’s going to start flaming with stuff like: isn’t this a
normal level of operations for a professional player? F*ck your mother’s
normal operations; take a look at the situation, the poor farming, and the
one-sided competition. It’s precisely in this certain loss situation that Quiet,
a newcomer, dared to rush up and counter kill Old Dog Yuan, and he even
succeeded!”
“Oh, but you’re going to say that it’s just a free match, and it doesn’t matter
if they lose. Why don’t you say it another way? As you’ve said, it’s a free
match, and you only get six points if you win, and losing doesn’t hurt, but
Quiet has been trying his best to win from the first second all the way to the
last second of the game. Do you f*cking have the same kind of serious
attitude?”
“I know what else you’re going to say: Brother Fang, how much money did
you charge FTW to blow out such fragrant rainbow farts? I won’t lie, your
Daddy Fang actually wants to pay out money instead. Laozi has long been
interested in FTW’s new jungler, Laozi wants him to accompany Close to
win the championship, and Laozi believes that he can realize FTW’s world
championship dream!”
Brother Fang was a well-known critic in the Glory circle, and he was very
influential. As soon as these harsh words were released, FTW was pushed
all the way to the top of the storm.
The haters were all going crazy launching attacks.
The old fans had all burst out into tears.
The rational fans were very confused, “About that, we haven’t even had the
qualifiers in the domestic competition, so isn’t it too early to discuss
whether or not we can win the world cup!”
If they ended up with another round trip home, wouldn’t it be so shameful

that they’d have to toss their dignity into the Pacific Ocean!
On FTW’s side, Xiang Liu’s phone was about to explode from all the calls
from golden-thighed investors.
Every club had a team who was responsible for marketing, and FTW’s PR
department had always been very Buddhist-like in style––
Advertising? No thanks, no thanks.
Water army? No need, no need.
Fan control? Forget it, forget it.
But today––
Xiang Liu explained over and over, “We didn’t buy any marketing!” Even if
they were to pay for advertising, they wouldn’t have bought a thoroughly
blackened hater like Brother Fang!
“We didn’t buy the hot search!” F*ck it, he actually wanted to spend money
to remove the hot search!
“We didn’t buy a water army!” What water, what army? Wasn’t the current
situation already chaotic enough?!
The golden thighed investors were also very sorry to hear this; they’d
actually thought that FTW had been ‘reformed’ and had begun to market
themselves seriously.
Xiang Liu’s tongue was dry from all the explaining he had to do. He had
already had a hunch that signing Wei Xiao into FTW might usher in a new
bloody storm, but he hadn’t expected that it would happen so soon!
It was just training, couldn’t these ancestors just stop for a while?
Our FTW really isn’t short on money, we’re just short on a world
championship cup.
No matter what it was like outside, the atmosphere in FTW’s training room
was a little strange.
Lu Fang and Wei Xiao had won, but Bai Cai was really unhappy. The
20,000 yuan that had almost landed in his hands had just flown away like
that?
He asked tentatively, “Brother Xiao, look at how you really enjoyed
yourself while playing. How about…” 10,000 yuan was acceptable too if
the 20,000 was really gone.
Wei Xiao turned to stare at him, “Enjoyed myself?”
Brother Cai blinked, “No?”
Wei Xiao’s tone was unhappy, “Old Dog Yuan was taking it easy!”
Bai Cai: “???”
The entire internet had already praised you up to heaven, yet you’re saying
that Yuan Ze was taking it easy on you?
Wei Xiao ignored Brother Cai and turned to Lu Feng, “Captain, is he

looking down on me!”
His tone was a little aggrieved and tickled the tip of Lu Feng’s heart,
making it itchy, “Mm. The dog wasn’t acting like a man.”
Wei Xiao found someone to comfort him and felt better, “Exactly! Old Dog
Yuan isn’t a man!”
In the last exchange of attacks in the game, Lu Feng and Wei Xiao had
cooperated perfectly. Just like how Brother Fang had analyzed; they’d
fought for every maneuver, calculated all the damage and skills, precisely
grasped the timing and positioning, and dealt out the highest amount of
damage they could with their perfect cooperation.
However…
It wasn’t to the point where Yuan Ze would fall.
It was hard for a layman to understand this, but it could be sensed by an

expert.
In particular, Wei Xiao, who was in the game, who’d been crushed by Yuan
Ze for a full 20 minutes, had a very keen understanding of this man’s
strength.
There was no “resurrection or “blood equipment, but Yuan Ze’s berserker

warrior still had a chance to trigger his passive ability that would allow him
to avoid injury.
The conditions for triggering this passive ability were harsh, and for
ordinary players, if the shadow thief rushed up with a series of moves,
they’d be unable to react in time.
However, the player behind the berserker warrior was Yuan Ze!
Yuan Ze had won the Global MVP in 2018 with the berserker warrior!
Wei Xiao was so angry he could die, “No wonder he doesn’t use his own
champion skin. He’s too ashamed to use it!”
Global MVPs had their own champion skins, just like how Lu Feng’s
shadow thief had the Red Sky Blade exclusive skin. Yuan Ze had his own
berserker warrior skin.
It was just that he hadn’t used it during this match.
Chen Feng couldn’t help saying, “He can also make mistakes.”
Wei Xiao clung to his convictions, “It’s because he subconsciously believed

that the captain and I couldn’t win.”
F*ck, how can you even say that someone else wasn’t acting like a man?
You’ve just won against the second place team in the world, and you’re still
angry. Aren’t you the one not being a man!
And yet, there was someone who actually coaxed him.

Lu Feng: “Continue queueing first. I’ll accompany you to solo before
dinner.”
Wei Xiao’s expression was full of surprise, “Really?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao’s heart was super itchy, “You’ll use the berserker warrior?”
Lu Feng’s lips curved, “Yes.”
Wei Xiao was excited, “Okay!”
For the matches that came after, Caicai, who hadn’t been able to get any
money, refused to help them click the matching button.
The demon king team’s demonic aura was too heavy, and they steamrolled
the remaining three games they played together without suspense.
The free matching ended, and the rankings for the day appeared on the
scoreboard.
1st place: L&P.
2nd place: Black Knights.
3rd place: Pro.
The entire training camp was in an uproar, what happened to Pro? Why had
they dropped to third place!
Was the Black Knights team so amazing? They actually suppressed Pro?!
It was unknown if the Black Knights team was amazing or not, but they
were definitely confused.
They hadn’t done anything… they’d simply lay there and ended up second.
In the second half of the day’s games, L&P’s luck had pushed the limits.
Yuan Ze and Old G had run into Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran in a 5v5
game. Three people from the Black Knights team had been Yuan Ze’s
teammates.
They’d witnessed with their own eyes what it meant to abuse a proud
flower.
Yuan Ze took the death knight, Old G took the shadow thief, and these two
players latched onto Proud Flower Kim like mad dogs.
Kim Sung-hyun’s luck was really bad. He’d matched up with an unknown
team from a mediocre competition zone, and his teammates were so bad
that it made people feel suffocated.
No matter how tacit the cooperation between the koi combination was, it
was unable to stop these two beasts who seemed to have been injected with
chicken blood!
Kim Sung-hyun never wasted time typing during a match, but in this game,
he even went so far as to knock out a line of text in Chinese, “Old Shit, did
you take a f*cking aphrodisiac or something?”
Yuan Ze: “Call me Old Teacher.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “F*ck!”
There was no suspense in this game. Yuan Ze and Old G scored 6 points,
and the Black Knights’ 2+1 combination took 9 points.
After that, likely because they all clicked to queue at the same time, the
Black Knights’ 2+1 combination ended up in the same team as Yuan Ze and
Old G once again!
The opposite side wasn’t Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran anymore, but it was
still Pro’s starters: their mid-lane and jungler.
This time, Yuan Ze changed heroes and used a berserker warrior, and he
even used his own champion skin. Old G took the berserker thief, and this
double berserker combination was a famous killing combination in the
canyon. These two exploded and attacked like crazy, smashing Pro’s mid-
laner and jungler into pieces.
Pro’s mid-laner was dumbfounded, “Bro, what kind of provocation did

Marshal receive?”
Kim Sung-hyun was very polite, “He’s probably brokenhearted.”
That motherf*cking Old Bandit Yuan, he’d hammered their Pro into third
place!
Who would’ve dared to think that the Black Knights, who’d originally been
in 5th place, had taken advantage of their small bit of luck to make it all the
way up to second place?!
The Black Knights who’d been beaten up for two days became proud and
self-satisfied just like this. They’d also never thought that this would
happen!
The audience had already started to cheer in advance when they saw the
scoreboard.
There would be something good to watch that night!
L&P would definitely choose FTW!
Wei Xiao invited Lu Feng into a game room almost as soon as free
matching ended.
To hell with eating dinner. Was it as attractive as soloing?
The other people in FTW also weren’t in a hurry to have dinner, and they
all crowded around to watch the fun.
Lu Feng took the berserker warrior and Wei Xiao used the shadow thief.
This was recreating the fight between Yuan Ze and Wei Xiao during the
doubles game.
Just like Wei Xiao had said, in the last wave, Yuan Ze hadn’t played to the
best of his abilities. When the shadow thief’s eight light arcs smashed into
his face, the berserker warrior did have a way to survive.
For example, at this time, Lu Feng perfectly reproduced Yuan Ze’s actions,
and at the same time, he triggered the damage immunity passive skill at the
last moment.
The lower the remaining health was, the higher the damage immunity
would be. The berserker warrior who had less than 100 health points left
could actually hold on!
Lu Feng wielded his blade lightly and took away the life of the shadow
thief who’d fallen back down from the sky.
Wei Xiao turned his head swiftly and looked at Chen Feng, “Look, the
captain wouldn’t make mistakes.”
Wei Xiao turned his head excitedly and spoke to Lu Feng, “Sure enough,
the captain is the best!”
Lu Feng took advantage of this opportunity and asked, “The best?”
Wei Xiao didn’t hesitate at all, “10,000 times better than Yuan Ze!”
Lu Feng was satisfied and stood up, “Let’s go. Dinner.”
Wei Xiao hurriedly followed behind him, “Captain, do you want to be

100,000 times better than Yuan Ze?”
Lu Feng glanced at him from the corner of his eyes.
Wei Xiao was really a clever little brat, “If we have another solo game,
you’ll be 100,000 times better than him, if it’s two games you’ll be
1,000,000 times better, with three games…”
Lu Feng laughed, “That’s no good.”

Wei Xiao: “???” Did the problem lie with using Yuan Ze as a unit of
measurement?
“A heart is the size of a fist. Can it all fit?”
Lu Feng felt that he couldn’t hold the enormity of Wei Xiao’s ‘best’.
Ch67 - Wei Xiao: Hey, I care about
the captain the most
Wei Xiao obviously didn’t understand what the captain was thinking, and
he had a confused expression on his face.“Why won’t it fit?”
He couldn’t accept it, “My heart is really big!”
It could hold such a wonderful captain!
Lu Feng: “I can’t fit it all in.”
Wei Xiao was all confused, “What can’t the captain fit in?”
Chen Feng, who was to the side, “……”
Little Lunatic Wei, I despise you for being like a block of wood!
Inspiration flashed in Wei Xiao’s brain, and he realized, “Holy shit!”
He startled Chen Feng; had this kid actually gotten it?
On the other hand, Lu Feng was very calm, “Hm?”
Wei Xiao leaned close to him and smiled like a bandit, “It turns out that
you’re scared to hear me praise you?”
Chen Feng: “…….”
“Isn’t it just saying that you’re tens of thousands of times better than Yuan
Ze? Is that already too much?”
Wei Xiao’s mouth was really invincible, “That shouldn’t be the case; I blow
rainbow farts every day, captain, are you actually not used to it? Could it be
that I don’t blow them out well enough? Is it that I’m not professional
enough? Let me go look into it some more and try to blow out a wave of
praises before bed every night…”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were curved as he looked at him, “Hm?”
Lu Feng tilted his head and stared at him.
Wei Xiao looked at him with wide eyes.
Lu Feng: “Shut up.”
To tell the truth, in the moment when the two of them looked at each other,
Chen Feng’s heart had almost jumped out of his chest!
He’d thought that Lu Feng wouldn’t be able to hold back anymore and
wanted to block this block of wood’s mouth!
Yet he was still f*cking able to hold on through this…
Coach Chen was full of admiration. He admired Close in various senses of

the word.
He was really worthy of being the man who’d purchased FTW at the age of
18, someone who’d made it to the present day while shouldering such great
pressure.
Fierce, he was really fierce!
Dinner was relatively short and hasty. Chen Feng had something on his
mind and took advantage of this opportunity to pull Bai Cai, Ning Zhehan,
and Yue Wenle to the side.
There was no suspense about the fact that L&P would invite FTW for a
game in the points competition that evening.
Chen Feng wasn’t worried about Wei Xiao at all. Just based on how he
disdained Yuan Ze, he’d probably be more happy the more seriously Yuan
Ze played, and winning or losing came second to him.
However, not everyone was like the great and little demon kings. There
were also normal people in the team.
Chen Feng was grave and earnest, “Are you all mentally prepared for the
training match this evening?”
Bai Cai was really worthy of his last name “Bai”. He was very quick to
raise up a small white flag, “The odds are against us.”
Chen Feng rolled his eyes, “Nonsense.”
Chen Feng wasn’t that worried about Brother Cai. This guy had been
hanging out with Wei Xiao for such a long time that his heart was actually
quite steady. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to muddle along the
way he had beside the great demon king.
It had to be known that FTW’s previous support player would cry every
time after a game was over because he couldn’t keep up with Lu Feng at all,
and Chen Feng didn’t even dare to go over the replays with him.
Now that Wei Xiao had joined the team, Bai Cai knew that he had to work
hard, and in general, he could now rest assured.
Chen Feng was most worried about Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle.
Although Old Yue had won a domestic championship, he had many

problems, particularly when it came to his mentality. It was very strange.
Ordinary people would become timid and cautious after they were
suppressed and wouldn’t be able to play effectively; but for Old Yue, the
more he was hammered, the more passionate he would get, like a moth
drawn to the flame. He would disregard everything and insist on charging
up without a single lick of sense.
Chen Feng had always used to wonder where this strange problem had
originated from.
Ever since he’d learned of Wei Xiao’s identity as the Grandmaster, he

understood––
Yue Wenle had experienced the beatings of society ahead of time, and he’d
gone against it!
The most normal person in the team was Little Ning, but he was also the
most worrying one.
He’d joined the team late and hadn’t been ‘trained’ by the Grandmaster. As
a rookie king, Ning Zhehan’s play and consciousness were both excellent,
but his mentality and experience was a little lacking.
Experience was something that couldn’t be rushed and could only be slowly
ground out; however, mentality was something that Chen Feng had to take
care of as part of his duty as a coach.
The words he spoke today were mainly directed at Ning Zhehan:
“In tonight’s game, Yuan Ze will be playing very seriously.”
Ning Zhehan looked a little awed and dazed, but he nodded, “I will try my
best!”
He’d try hard not to drag the team down.
Chen Feng shook his head. This wasn’t a matter of working hard or not.
How terrifying was a Yuan Ze who was going all out? There was probably
nobody in the entire China competition zone who’d experienced it before.
Close’s ability to suppress others was very strong, but FTW hadn’t had any
teammates who were able to match up to him. Therefore, in 5v5 games,
most people only felt that it was hard to deal with him, but there was still a
chance to win.
Yuan Ze was different. L&P was a team that was practically tailor-made for
him. From Old G to the new support who’d joined the team last year, L&P
was a very good fit with him and wouldn’t tie him down at all.
L&P had also been very well broken in. Although they’d failed to win the
championship last year, they’d given a brilliant performance in the finals.
Previously, FTW had managed to arrange a few training matches with them,
but in reality, that had all just been for fun.
Either Yuan Ze didn’t play, or their mid-laner was from their second team,
or their marksman was practicing a hero.
It was only Gary who wasn’t absent every time, because he wanted to go up
against Close. He was very serious every match.
However, Gary was suppressed by Close, and the randomly gathered L&P
team couldn’t play at even 50% of their usual level. Even if it was like this,
the win rate was still 50-50, which was enough to show how big the gap
was between the two teams.
So, Chen Feng was very worried. He wasn’t afraid of losing the game, but
he was afraid that the children’s mentalities would collapse.
As Yuan Ze’s former teammate, Chen Feng had a pretty good understanding
of him.
This dog had definitely been stimulated. L&P’s state tonight was no worse
than it had been during the global finals last year.
Chen Feng comforted them, “It’s just a training match. Do the best you can,
and that’s enough.”
Ning Zhehan was still unaware of what he was about to go up against. He

nodded and said, “Okay!”
Chen Feng had done what he could, and the rest wasn’t something that
could be resolved just by talking.
They’d just have to face it head on. There was still a Little Lunatic Wei in
the team, and encountering bloody weather in the future was going to
become a common occurance anyway.
They went back to the dinner table and saw Wei Xiao still working hard.
Chen Feng was puzzled, “What are you doing?”
Wei Xiao explained seriously, “Picking out dishes for the captain.”
Chen Feng: “???”
Bai Cai’s lips twitched when he heard this.
Wei Xiao very carefully selected a plate of celery and pushed it over to Lu
Feng, “Captain, you can eat this.”
Life was too difficult. The dishes here tended to use celery as a side dish, so
in order for the team captain to enjoy dinner, it had taken Wei Xiao a lot of
effort to pick out so many pieces of celery.
A certain Chen and a certain Bai who were familiar with the truth of the
matter looked at the plate of celery, “……”
Wei Xiao set down his chopsticks and couldn’t help but show off, “Hey, I
really care for the captain the most.”
Chen Feng & Bai Cai: “………………”
You should f*cking just forget about it!
What made them even more amazed was that Lu Feng actually accepted
this plate of celery, “You’ve worked hard.”
And then, he really ate it!

Wei Xiao: “It’s not a big deal. I’ll ask the chef tomorrow and see if he’ll be
willing to just fry up a plate of celery.”
Even the great demon king, who was usually very calm, could feel his hand
holding the fork tremble, “There’s really no need to bother.”
Wei Xiao: “It’s not a bother. Food is the most important thing. Captain, only
when you eat your fill will you be able to play with me… um, I mean, only
then will you have the strength to play in competitions!”
Chen Feng was too lazy to sympathize with him: Indulge him, come on,
continue to work hard and indulge him to death!
The (presumably) well-fed FTW all headed over to the event hall.
After a few words from the commentators, the host announced today’s
match teams.
The 1st place L&P chose first, and when the three letters ‘FTW’ appeared
on the large screen, there were cheers from the audience.
Everyone was both surprised and not surprised.
After all, ever since the start of the training camp, FTW had already brought
them too many surprises.
Finally, this old team that had been reborn was about to usher in a bloody
battle.
Close against Marshal. They were both from the old Team of Gods,
teammates who’d fought side by side, and brothers who’d trusted their
backs to each other. They now stood at opposite ends of the canyon and had
become mortal opponents.
What made it more exciting for the audience was that Close had switched
from playing the jungler position to the top lane, and Yuan Ze was the
strongest top-laner in the Glory circle.
The match between the strong hadn’t started yet, but everyone’s blood was
already boiling with passion!
Kim Sung-hyun crossed his arms over his chest and said, “I really want to
see what Old Shit is doing.”
In the same way that Chen Feng understood Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun also
knew him very well.
He’d almost forgotten what this lazy and careless man looked like when he
became serious.
In the previous Team of Gods, Yuan Ze’s talent was actually the worst.
He made up for the gap with his hard work and became a natural-born,
talented genius in other people’s eyes.
In fact, Yuan Ze didn’t hate geniuses. He actually quite liked them.
Because geniuses had all lost at his hands.
After announcing the participants for the match, the host then announced,
“Due to some special circumstances in Group B, the competition committee
has adjusted the rules for the points competition.”
The entire audience: Why was it being changed again?
Although it was the first time they’d done this kind of points competition
event, it shouldn’t be to the point where they had to fix bugs twice in three
days.
The host was only responsible for announcing the message and quickly
finished saying what needed to be said.
This change was actually quite big.
From today all the way until the final prize pool battle, all teams could only
invite the same team for a training match once.
In other words, since L&P had invited FTW today, they wouldn’t be able to
invite FTW again even if they entered the top three tomorrow.
This match would be their first 5v5 match during the training camp, and it
might also be their last one!
Ch68 - War Song
“Why!”
Wei Xiao’s mentality was collapsing.
This big hearted player who wouldn’t collapse even if he lost several dozen
solo games in a row or encountered an extremely strong team who could
turn him into a permanent ghost, actually ended up losing it due to the
organizers.
Why were they limited to only one game? Why!
Hadn’t they said that those who were ranked in the top three could freely
pick their opponents for the training match? Why had they changed it just
like that!
What was going on with the organizers? Couldn’t they let people train
properly!
However, there was practically nobody else out of the nearly 100
contestants from the 18 competition zones who thought the same way as
Wei Xiao.
Most people, even if it was his good brother White Cabbage, were all
relieved.
Playing only once was great, would anyone really be able to stand it if they
had to play every day?!
Because this rule change was too big, the competition committee had to
give the contestants an explanation for it, so the host was very careful when
she explained the reason for the change.
This time, it wasn’t FTW’s fault. Although it was somewhat related to
them, FTW’s inability to play according to common sense wasn’t enough to
slap the competition committee awake.
It had been two teams from Group B who’d forced the competition
committee to realize that there was a problem with their rules.
One of the teams was EVE, nicknamed ‘painkiller’ by others, and the other
team was RR from the China competition zone.
EVE’s mid-lane was Xie He, a starter from the former Team of Gods, and
RR’s mid-lane was China competition zone’s new starter, Moonlit.
At first, nobody had discovered that there was a problem. The scent of
gunpowder was very faint in Group B on the first day of the points
competition, and nobody had even tried very hard to score points during the
free matches.
RR didn’t stand out in a training camp filled with powerful players. Even
the domestic champion FTW was neglected, let alone RR.
However, RR’s captain, Money, was a special one. He used his own money
to encourage his teammates, “Brothers, go for it! I’ll subsidize 10,000 yuan
for every point you guys get!”
Winning a game was three points, and if they played seven games and won
all of them, it would total 210,000 yuan.
RR’s team members immediately grew excited and started to score points
like crazy.
As a result, RR charged into third place and was even able to push EVE out
of the top three.
Captain Mo liked to indulge his team. Knowing that his mid-laner wanted
to have a fight with Glory’s number one mid-laner, he waved his hand in a
grand gesture and selected EVE for the training match.
In a sense, EVE’s mid-lane and RR’s mid-lane Moonlit had similar
attributes. They were both hedgehog-type mid-laners, and they poked at
others more fiercely than their own junglers. They fought over the lane
soldiers super quickly and became even more extreme when they were
given support.
EVE’s jungler was their team captain, and RR’s jungler was also their
captain.
Both teams relied on the linkage between their mid-lane and jungler to
madly stir up trouble.
The scent of gunpowder exploded within minutes as soon as the two teams
met.
On the first day, EVE hadn’t taken it seriously. This was particularly the
case for Xie He, who hadn’t placed any importance on Moonlit at all.
Nobody could have guessed that RR would actually manage to turn the
tables and win the game.
This matter really stabbed the hornet’s nest.
Back then in the Team of Gods, the one with the worst temper was this
fellow with the word ‘”He”’ in his name.
God Xie belonged to the type who looked like they liked to spend their
years quietly and steadily, but in fact, his character was very fierce, and his
play style was very aggressive. When he went wild, he could fight one
against nine––that’s right, he would even fight his own teammates.
Moonlit was really implicated innocently in this matter. However, on the

second day, EVE charged to first place and picked RR for their training
match.
RR was really different this year. Ever since the addition of Moonlit, the
entire team had done a 360 degree turn. They changed from the previous
Money-led ‘I might be silly, but I have a lot of money’ style and became a
fierce, ‘kill, just f*cking kill’ style wild dog team overnight.
Think about it; Moonlit was someone who’d been tempered by the
Grandmaster for hundreds of games, yet still insisted on continuing to play
professionally. His mentality couldn’t be compared with that of ordinary
people.
Xie He wanted to punish him?
Moonlit wanted to turn the tables and kill him again!
The conflict between these two teams had effectively reached a conclusion.
In fact, everyone could see that EVE was much stronger than RR. A Xie He
who was playing seriously was completely able to hang Moonlit up then
beat him down.
Reasonably speaking, the matter would be over after they won the game,
but no, Moonlit’s unwillingness to accept his loss managed to stimulate Xie
He.
So what if he won? This brat’s eyes still showed that he wasn’t admitting
defeat!
So, on the third day, RR, who’d fought back into third place, picked EVE,
who’d dropped off the top three again.
These two teams were really locked in, and their attitude seemed to say that
this matter wouldn’t be over until the other party died.
The competition committee looked into it…
How the hell had it turned out like this?
The purpose of winter training was to promote interaction between many

teams. How had it become two teams going back and forth like this!
The other teams also responded vaguely, “RR’s situation is a little too
tragic. If this continues, they might retire from the game after they return
home.”
The investors were also unhappy about it, “EVE will definitely win. There’s
no suspense when watching this kind of game.”
“The fans are crying and kicking up a fuss.”
Group B’s management team talked to Group A’s team, and Group A
immediately replied that their own top three teams had all picked FTW,
already resulting in a change in the rules.
Both parties thought it over: F*ck, this wasn’t right!
The original intention behind this rule was that strong teams wouldn’t place
so much effort into the points competition training matches, so they
wouldn’t be so serious in the free matches. The ones who made it to the top
three every day would be relatively strong teams, but not the top ones, and
they hadn’t expected this entire mess to happen.
The really powerful teams had inexplicably developed a strong desire to

win, and then they all picked easy targets from the China competition zone.
Wasn’t that just bullying China?!
China was one of the competition zones with the highest number of Glory
players. The competition committee felt that they couldn’t allow this big
daddy to feel aggrieved, so…
They changed the rules!
The 18 teams could only fight against the same team once in the points
competition;
Teams who had a negative total score over three days would lose their
qualification to compete for the final prize pool elimination battle.
The last day of training was changed to an elimination battle for the prize
pool. All qualified teams could participate in the competition, and the teams
would be matched together at random. If they lost, they would also lose
their prize pool.
The final winner would take home all the prize money!
Everything was worked out.
The entire points competition process was completed and released!
After listening to the whole process, many teams who had been at negative
points over the past two days suddenly had different expressions on their
faces.
Originally, they’d wanted to take it easy and save their strength so that they
could perform well in the last round. Yet as a result… the competition
committee no longer gave them the opportunity to develop so casually.
The investor daddies expressed: To hell with developing slowly. If the

teams didn’t come here to compete, then what were they here for?
Wei Xiao wasn’t worried about negative points. What he was concerned
about was––
“RR is so strong, Moonlit is also pretty good!” He was looking forward to

the domestic competition!
“Elimination matches for the prize pool are interesting. Caicai, do you want
to make a fortune?” Laozi wanted to take first place!
Brother Cai, who’d just been cued, had no fighting spirit: Get lost, I don’t
want to, I can’t do it!
What was he thinking? He even wanted to make a fortune? Was he treating

PRO and L&P like decorations?
The prize pool elimination matches on the last day became a carrot on a
stick that hung in front of Wei Xiao that barely pacified his collapsing
mentality.
Alright then, for better or worse, the last day would be exciting enough, so
these days in the middle could be considered as bitter training.
Wei Xiao cheered up.
Before the game, FTW and L&P had a friendly (trash talk) exchange.
Gary spoke in a very serious tone, “Play well. This is probably the last time
for us to play against each other during training.”
It was the first time, and also the last time. Damn it, he just had to hammer
the little lunatic!
Wei Xiao was surprised, “Old G, you should be more confident.”
Gary: ???”
Wei Xiao: “I think that there’s still a chance for L&P to fight their way out
of the elimination matches for the prize pool. Work hard! I’ll be waiting for
you at the finals in 12 days.”
The implication was that his FTW would definitely make it to the finals. As
for whether or not L&P could, well… work hard, you guys.
Gary: “…………”
Yuan Ze carried away his own silly jungler. How useless was he? He
couldn’t even beat Little Lunatic Wei when he was using English!
After checking over their equipment, both parties entered BP.
Whether or not it would be a wonderful game could already be seen from

the BP part of the game.
In a perfunctory game, BP only took a matter of minutes to complete, and

neither side would spend too much time on schemes.
In a serious game, BP was like playing chess. Each step required thinking
three steps ahead, and it was filled to the brim with tricks and strategies.
Chen Feng’s expression was solemn, and those who were familiar with him
were surprised.
Such a serious Coach Chen Feng had only been seen at the global finals
before.
FTW’s 5v5 had never been on such a stage but Chen Feng, as Lu Feng’s
only ‘teammate’ in the individual competition, had to participate in the BP
part of the individual games.
He was showing such a serious attitude, and it was enough to prove how
much importance he was placing on this training match.
Chen Feng adjusted the headset and asked, “What talent do you want to
use?”
Their battle strategies had been prepared a long time ago, but picking which
one they’d used was dependent on the immediate situation.
What the other side banned or snatched up would affect their own line-up
for the game.
Chen Feng was used to asking his players what they wanted to use.
No matter what thoughts they had before the game started, once they sat
down in their seats and came into contact with their keyboard, the feeling
they had at that instant might be different.
Under the precondition of ensuring a viable line-up, it was Chen Feng’s

duty to strive for the talent that the players wanted to play the most.
He’d originally thought that the first to speak up would be Wei Xiao, but
unexpectedly, it was Lu Feng. “I’ll take the berserker warrior.”
Wei Xiao immediately followed up, “In that case, I’ll take the berserker
thief.”
Chen Feng nodded, “Okay.”
This double berserker combination was very strong. For a team that liked to
link together the top lane and jungler, having those two join together was
like going up against heaven and earth.
Bai Cai said, “They’ll probably ban the giant shaman.”
The double berserker combination would become an immortal line-up when

paired up with a tanky support. If L&P’s coach really allowed them to take
such a line-up, he might as well curl up and roll home now.
Chen Feng evaluated, “We’ll take the berserker warrior first, then see if the
other side will snatch up their jungler talent.”
FTW had first pick, then L&P got the next two picks. They could choose to
take the berserker thief and giant shaman all in one go.
It was fine if they did; the berserker warrior was very flexible and could be
matched up with various different line-ups. On the other hand, if they used
their first pick on their support position, it would make their line-up easier
to target.
L&P’s coach saw through Chen Feng’s intentions with a glance. They took
the berserker thief, but the giant shaman remained free.
Wei Xiao chuckled, “Old G is done for.”
This little devil. Chen Feng knocked on his head, “You’re the clever one.”
Wei Xiao: “Isn’t it, though? Captain’s berserker warrior is enough to beat
him into seclusion.”
The corner of Chen Feng’s mouth curved up, “Come on, then. Get the mid-
lane and marksman positions.”
It was good having two all-around players in the team. The line-ups they
could use were now much broader.
They had wanted to snatch up the double berserker combination, but the
other side had seen through their intention and broken the line-up they
wanted.
However…
For better or worse, Coach Chen was the man behind the great demon king.
How could he not leave himself with some unplayed cards?
The berserker warrior was indeed the berserker thief’s best partner, but it
was also the opponent that the berserker thief was most afraid of.
Old G already had a psychological shadow when it came to Close, and now
that he was playing the berserker thief…
Haha. Work hard, Old G!
L&P was worthy of being a strong team. They weren’t willing to step back
at all; their top-lane snatched up the blood warrior that was extremely
strong in the early stages while their mid-lane took the immortal warlock
that could overturn the skies.
After more than ten minutes of back and forth, both sides were able to lock
down very good line-ups.
FTW: berserker warrior, immortal thief, spirit mage, holy priest, frost
hunter.
L&P: blood warrior, berserker thief, immortal warlock, demonic shaman,

laser launcher.
The commentators were already looking forward to the fight.
“Both sides have pretty good line-ups.”
“The berserker warrior and blood warrior are well matched, and the
immortal thief and berserker thief are both team-fight type junglers. This
time, FTW’s mid-lane was quite daring and took the spirit mage.”
“The spirit mage isn’t bad against the immortal warlock. Other short legged
mages might end up dying very miserably.”
“White’s holy priest is second to none in the league. Last year, in China’s
domestic finals, his second skill was enough to control the other side until
they went into seclusion.”
“FTW.le’s frost hunter is good, too. As long as he’s able to survive calmly,
he’ll be able to deal explosive damage later on.”
The audience listened as the commentators praised FTW and felt very
hollow inside.
As everyone knew, the commentators would be biased towards weaker

teams and give them a round of praise at the start of the game to prevent the
players from being hammered too badly right from the beginning.
In this game of L&P against FTW, no matter how they looked at it, L&P
was too strong, and FTW was too weak.
The Chinese audience all felt as if their hearts were tied up in knots,
“Although I don’t really like FTW, I still hope that they won’t lose too
badly.”
“As an FTW hater, I’ll say this first. If they’re able to win against L&P, I”ll
become their fan for a whole season.”
“F*ck, can you guys stop talking crap, this old lady is an old FTW fan, and
my heart is about to explode, okay!”
“Close against Marshall, they’re both from the Team of Gods!”
Regardless of whether it was the commentators or the fans, none of them

were optimistic about FTW.
Not even mentioning these people, even Mother Chen Feng wasn’t
optimistic.
However, he wasn’t nervous right now.
Just do it.
They could just move on if they lost. Let loose and really focus on enjoying
this unique game!
While countless people were still filled with tension and worry, FTW took
down First Blood in the game!
“F*ck!”
“Oh my god!”
“Too crazy!”
“FTW’s new jungler is really daring!”
Quiet killed Marshal!
What the hell kind of devil’s start to the game was this!
Ch69 - A man should have
ambitions. Just look, I particularly
want to...
As they entered the canyon, Lu Feng spoke to Wei Xiao, “Yuan Ze has a
habit.”
Wei Xiao’s ears pricked up, “Hm?”
Lu Feng: “Bai Cai, go to the bottom lane. You come here.”
Wei Xiao loved to make trouble at the start of the game. He agreed
immediately, “Okay!”
The most important monster in the upper jungle zone was undoubtedly the
one with the blue buff on its back.
In a conventional game, the jungler would either go to the lower jungle

zone and start with the red buff, go for the blue buff, or head to the middle
lane to harass the other side, stirring up a small conflict and making the
other side cautious.
However, FTW didn’t play cards according to normal convention. They

charged down the top lane at the start of the game and hid themselves in the
bushes of L&P’s upper jungle zone.
Yuan Ze indeed had a habit. At the start of the game, he wouldn’t go up to

the top lane first and would directly cross the river in the middle to enter the
enemy’s jungle and explore, letting his team see more of the map.
The bushes that Lu Feng and Wei Xiao were hidden in was in a location
that he absolutely had to pass in order to enter the enemy jungle.
If he wanted to go and harass Wei Xiao, then he would have to pass through
these bushes.
If he didn’t go and harass Wei Xiao, then Lu Feng and Wei Xiao wouldn’t
be able to ambush him.
Would Yuan Ze come or not?
Wei Xiao laughed and said, “He’s here!”
Lu Feng was really worthy of being an old teammate. He understood Yuan

Ze so well!
A level one berserker warrior had a flying attack skill. The level one Wei
Xiao started up a three segment movement skill and charged straight into
Yuan Ze’s face.
Yuan Ze was taken by surprise by the two people who came over to attack,
“F*ck!”
As soon as the two sides started fighting, their location was exposed. Old G
immediately spoke up, “Wait for me!”
He just happened to be in the upper jungle zone.
Yuan Ze: “Don’t come.”
He wouldn’t be able to leave. In the early stages, the blood warrior was
incredibly squishy. Without its ultimate move, it was unable to lifesteal, and
after being attacked by these two, there was already no doubt about his
death.
Instead of wasting time, Old G should quickly go and kill jungle monsters
so that he could snatch up the rhythm of the game.
Gary had cooperated with him for many years and immediately understood
what he meant. He picked up his pace, wanting to take the opportunity to
invade FTW’s jungle areas and snatch away their resources.
Yuan Ze was also worthy of being a man whose name was in the Temple of
Glory. After being caught in Lu Feng and Wei Xiao’s ambush, he wasn’t
anxious or flustered. Knowing that he had no way to escape, he instead
attempted to trade a life for a life.
Wei Xiao’s immortal thief was even squishier than the blood warrior in the
early stages. Yuan Ze didn’t retreat. He advanced instead, hitting Wei Xiao
with his skills.
Close’s berserker warrior was unable to deal much DPS before it hit level
six, but it had high defense. He skillfully moved his hero over to block Wei
Xiao’s body behind him, taking the damage dealt by the blood warrior.
The damage dealt by three consecutive hits was very considerable. The
blood warrior cut Lu Feng down to half health.
Wei Xiao raised his voice, “Captain, hold on!”
He used his movement skill to position himself behind Yuan Ze, and his
long sword swept across like a rainbow, a white sword light stabbing into
Yuan Ze’s back.
The commentator exclaimed, “Amazing! His attack was perfect and

triggered ‘rend’!”
The immortal thief had a passive ability that allowed it to deal double
damage if it hit an enemy from behind. It would also cause ‘rend’, which
dealt continuous damage over time!
Yuan Ze turned around and stabbed, wanting to cleave this little bastard in
half.
Wei Xiao’s movements were very agile. He used the second part of his
movement skill to wind around to his back again and executed another
perfect rend.
At this time, Close’s skill was no longer on cooldown, and he used his first
skill to stun Yuan Ze.
Yuan Ze ignored this attack that came from the front, locking onto Wei Xiao
and chopping again.
Commentator B sucked in a breath of air, “The immortal thief’s health

won’t be able to hold up!”
Commentator A was also surprised, “Marshal really deserves to be Glory’s

strongest top-laner.”
His strength in this 1v2 fight was really the limit. Even if his death was
inevitable, he would still be able to take someone down with him and might
even be able to snatch up First Blood.
In this situation where everyone thought that Wei Xiao would die, he used
that last 0.01 second to use the third part of his three part movement skill
and flashed behind Lu Feng!
It was the true definition of ‘it all happened in the blink of an eye’. Yuan
Ze’s blood blade swept out in the same moment that he was attacked, and
Wei Xiao used Close as a shield to avoid the damage, managing to keep the
last third of his health.
“F*ck!” Gary, who was killing jungle monsters near the top lane couldn’t
hold back his anger. He wanted to give up the jungle monster he’d been
fighting for a long time and come over to provide support.
Yuan Ze yelled, “Clear your jungle!”
Gary: “They’re almost dead.”
Yuan Ze’s voice was cold, “Close can kill you on his own.”
Gary was shocked.
Yuan Ze’s judgement at this moment was correct. It was true that Gary
could make his way over in time, but it didn’t make much sense to do so.
The best outcome was for Yuan Ze to kill Wei Xiao. If he couldn’t do it,
then Gary would just be killed if he came.
If Old G came to provide support, Wei Xiao would definitely die, but Close,
who was still at half health, would definitely be able to kill Gary.
If that happened, L&P’s top-laner and jungler would both be dead, and their
rhythm would collapse like a bloody avalanche!
Yuan Ze was only left with a small sliver of health. His health bar had gone
from the critical red color to a dying black. Any little soldier just had to
poke him, and he’d topple to the ground.
Even so, he turned around to use an auto attack and stab at Wei Xiao with
his fog-covered blood blade.
The players beneath the stage were shocked, “He can do that?!”
Tang Chen, who had once been FTW’s top-laner was so focused he didn’t
even blink.
On the other side, Pro’s Kim Sung-hyun sneered, “This old dog is really
good at hiding himself.”
L&P and Pro often arranged training matches between themselves. They’d
played several hundred games together, but he’d never seen Old Bandit
Yuan play so seriously before.
If they didn’t know better, they’d think that this was the global finals!
Yuan Ze’s bloody blade reached Wei Xiao, and the immortal thief’s fragile
body was seriously injured in an instant. His crimson health bar indicated
that he was on the verge of death.
As long as he could hit him one more time, just brush against him with the
tip of his blade…
Yuan Ze would be able to kill Wei Xiao!
“Shouldn’t they withdraw? The immortal thief can leave now. They can just
let Close take the kill.”
“Yeah, rather than sending himself up for Yuan Ze to kill, why not let Close
take First Blood.”
“Holy shit, the immortal thief attacked!”
“He’s crazy! Is he ignoring the overall situation just for the sake of a First
Blood?”
The immortal thief charged at the blood warrior. The two of them who only
had a sliver of health left were competing on absolute hand speed!
Was the newcomer Quiet better than the old veteran Marshal?”
Dream on!
System announcement: FTW.Quiet killed L&P.Marshal.
Success!
Wei Xiao killed Yuan Ze!
There was an uproar in the banquet hall. The commentators were dazed for
half a second before saying, “Really beautiful.”
“That hand speed is pretty good.”
In the live broadcast room, the audience had exploded, “Holy shit, this kid
is really strong!”
“Brave and resourceful, and he dares to fight!”
“Too crazy, he was actually able to pull it off.”
“He’ll die… he’s going to die, too. Although he took First Blood, he’s also
going to give the other side a kill.”
“He won’t die! The immortal thief managed to activate his second passive
ability!”
Commentator B: “Quiet killed Marshal! He used the movement skill from
earlier and basic auto attacks to activate the immortal thief’s second
passive, giving him an invulnerability status effect for 0.01 seconds!”
For the average player, this passive ability was basically useless, and even
an average professional player wouldn’t dare to rely on it in such a
situation.
It was like the shadow thief’s light arcs. Everyone knew that it was very
powerful if it could be activated, but the margin of error was too slight.. If
they relied on this skill for survival, the possibility of failure was too high.
But Wei Xiao did it!
It was precise and perfectly executed!
Commentator A quickly followed up, “The immortal thief was right not to
retreat. If he’d been timid and left the kill to Close, he would have
definitely died. He was still within the blood warrior’s range of attack!”
Commentator B: “That’s right. His movement skill and that last attack
activated the second passive ability, allowing him to use invulnerability to
resist Yuan Ze’s post-death attack.”
The fans were even more shocked after the experts explained the situation.
“Who just said that Quiet was stealing kills? Come out and die!”
“To hell with stealing kills. This was him calculating accurately that he
could only survive if he charged in!”
“Isn’t Quiet strongest with the shadow thief? Why is his immortal thief also
so amazing.”
“It’s only three minutes since the game started. God Yuan’s sending of the
First Blood has probably broken a record.”
“In last year’s global competition, God Yuan was killed in a one against one
at the start of the game. But it was only once.”
“I know! It was Eve’s God Xie and his captain who went into the opposing
jungle and killed God Yuan!”
……
“How exciting. It’s so heated even at the start of the game. FTW’s really
different this year!”
The fans were discussing heatedly amongst themselves when another

system announcement came up in the game––
L&P.VIVI killed FTW.Silvery.
VIVI was L&P’s mid-lane, and Silvery was Ning Zhehan.
L&P’s mid-lane had killed FTW’s mid-lane in a one against one fight!
Both teams had chosen agile and flexible talents for their mid-lane
positions.
The immortal warlock was relatively weak before it reached level six
because it couldn’t stack up continuous moves and fly up into the clouds.
The spirit mage had no such scruples. It could fly into the shadows as soon
as it went out, and it could cover a very long distance with its movement
skill, basically spanning the distance between both towers. After it reached
level two, it would also have its core DPS ability that dealt considerable
damage and also applied a deceleration effect.
In general, before it reached level six, the spirit mage should be able to
suppress the immortal warlock and beat them up.
But Ning Zhehan had been killed by the immortal warlock while hiding
beneath the tower!
Lu Feng and Wei Xiao had taken First Blood on the top lane, but half a
second later, L&P’s mid-lane had already gotten even.
This was the strength of a team who could contend for the world cup. None
of its players could be underestimated!
The screen went dark. Ning Zhehan’s voice trembled, “I’m sorry.”
It hadn’t been easy for the captain and Brother Xiao to gain the advantage at
the start of the game, but he’d ended up sending over a kill.
Wei Xiao: “What are you sorry for? If you hadn’t held down VIVI, then the
captain and I would’ve died.”
Wei Xiao continued, “I dared to go and attack Old Dog Yuan because I saw
that you were keeping VIVI occupied.”
5v5 really was really reliant on cooperation. Bai Cai and Yue Wenle were
fighting against L&P in the bottom lane, and the four of them nibbled at
each other, with nobody gaining the upper hand.
In the mid-lane, VIVI had cleared his soldiers faster than Ning Zhehan. If
Ning Zhehan had shrunk back, then VIVI would immediately be able to go
up to the top lane to provide support, cooperating with Yuan Ze to send both
Lu Feng and Wei Xiao home dead.
Now, although Ning Zhehan had been killed, he’d already cleared his
soldiers and wouldn’t suffer any losses in farming. Additionally, he’d kept
VIVI occupied and given Lu Feng and Wei Xiao enough time to kill Yuan
Ze.
He’d used his life to save two people, and had also helped his teammates
take First Blood. FTW had come out on top in this exchange!
Ning Zhehan couldn’t help but say, “I-I should’ve been able to kill him.”
If both sides were evenly matched, then Ning Zhehan’s spirit mage
should’ve been able to kill the immortal warlock before they reached level
six.
Wei Xiao was amused, “Little Ning, you’re quite ambitious. Who is VIVI?
He’s someone in the global top three mid-laners. You’ve just started, and
you already want to screw him over?”
Wei Xiao continued to make pithy remarks as he went to clear his jungle,
“Well, there’s nothing wrong with that. A man should have ambitions. Just
look, I particularly want to…”
Brother Cai, who was busy providing vision, didn’t dare to listen any
further, “Hurry the hell up. If you don’t want the red daddy, then give it to
Old G as a gift.”
Wei Xiao was anxious, “I’m coming, I’m coming!”
Although his words just now had been a little bizarre, it still held some
truth.
The immortal warlock in front of him was a player who’d once won the
world championship and was up there in the Glory rankings.
It had previously been unimaginable that Ning Zhehan would be able to

survive while standing across from him in the lane. So what if he’d been
killed once?
Brother Xiao had been killed thousands of times by their captain and treated
it like it was nothing!
When he thought about it that way, Ning Zhehan was suddenly full of
energy!
On L&P’s side, the team chat turned quiet for a while after Yuan Ze died.
VIVI: “FTW’s mid-lane isn’t very good. Gary, come get him.”
Yuan Ze: “No need.”

VIVI: “As long as we destroy the mid-lane, FTW will lose without being
able to put up a fight.”
Yuan Ze stared at the screen and spoke in a deep voice, “Old G, come to the
top lane.”
Was it meaningful to attack FTW’s weakness?
He’d been looking forward to this game because of Lu Feng and Wei Xiao.
He wanted to beat them.
He wanted to beat FTW thoroughly, from their very roots!
The commentators immediately spoke up, “Gary is going to the top lane.
Judging from this angle and this position, it seems that L&P wants to clear
out their previous shame!”
“It’s happening, it’s happening, Marshal and Gary are going to gank Close!”
“Most of FTW’s team is in the lower jungle area. They definitely won’t
have time to go support, and the payback for the 2v1 at the start of the game
is coming!”
“So, will Close be killed like Marshal was?”
These sentences heated up the atmosphere and the audience followed suit,
growing nervous as they watched.
Wei Xiao’s intuition was very keen. He seemed to have caught on to

something, “Old Bai, toss some vision over the dragon cave!”
Bai Cai cursed, “F*ck, Old G must have gone up. Captain, be careful!”
Lu Feng’s voice was calm, “Wei Xiao, go to the mid-lane and cooperate
with Ning to kill the immortal warlock.”
Wei Xiao: “Captain…” He wanted to go up and support the top lane.

Lu Feng suddenly asked him, “Just now, what did you say you particularly
wanted to do?”
Wei Xiao paused for a moment before remembering the trash talk he’d been
saying to Little Ning just now.
––A man should have ambitions. Just look, I particularly want to… screw
the captain.
Bai Cai had interrupted him before he could finish, and he wouldn’t dare to
say it now even if he was beaten to death. Wei Xiao quickly changed his
words, “… Get screwed over by the captain!”
FTW’s mid-laner, bottom laner, and support almost simultaneously smashed

their faces into their keyboards.
Lu Feng’s expression didn’t change at all, “So, what are you worried
about.”
His voice dropped, and the berserker warrior switched states. He was
covered in heavy armor, and his long sword flashed with cold light. His
second skill swept across, his icy blue blade sending Gary, who was
crouched in the bushes, flying into the air.
xiin: “… Get screwed over by the captain!” heeheeeheee, don’t worry it’ll
happen~
Ch70 - Close, badass!
The commentator and those watching the live broadcast couldn’t hear their
team chat. What they could see was the result: the berserker warrior used its
ultimate move, stabbing its blade at the berserker thief hidden in the grass!
“Close sensed it!”
“FTW has no vision across the entire river. Gary’s positioning was very
good, but Close was actually able to sense it. This kind of intuition is really
impressive.”
Indeed, professional players had something called intuition. It sounded very

metaphysical, but in fact, it was formed through countless repetition and
experience, creating a game consciousness that went beyond reason.
This was one of the subtle factors that drew a line between top class
contestants and ordinary ones.
Top class contestants had radars that were more sensitive in ways that the
ordinary contestant couldn’t grasp.
This was probably a kind of awareness towards the killing intent from an
ancient battlefield. It came from the strong will that was tempered after
wandering on the edge of life and death countless times!
Lu Feng’s blade swept across, leaving Gary stunned for half a second.
A mere half a second was already a huge gap in his defenses. Lu Feng
seized the opportunity to smash down a set of skills along with his
enhanced basic attack, cutting Gary down to a sliver of health in seconds.
Old G was worthy of being a man who often walked around beneath the
great demon king’s blade; his hand speed was amazing. He hooked a jungle
monster over with his scythe, then flipped over the wall, following his
scythe. He avoided Lu Feng’s subsequent attack and was able to escape
with his small life.
Everything happened too quickly, taking place over mere seconds, and the
audience was still in a state of surprise. Yuan Ze had already come over
from the rear, his blood blade coming out of its sheath, sending the red and
black blade cleaving towards the back of the berserker warrior.
Lu Feng didn’t remain focused on the berserker thief with only a sliver of
health left. Instead, he turned to attack Yuan Ze with a returning blow.
The red and black bloodsucking blade and the berserker warrior’s ice blue
magical blade clashed, sending a gorgeous, brilliant light through the
canyon.
The two people involved in this confrontation were surrounded by ice and
fire, their killing intent surging!
“Amazing!” The audience in the live broadcast room exploded, “The great
demon king is amazing!”
He was too f*cking cool!
The audience watching from god’s perspective could see what was
happening better than anyone else. Yuan Ze and Gary were clearly trying to
recreate Lu Feng and Wei Xiao’s two against one fight from the start of the
game.
However, Lu Feng hadn’t fallen for it at all. Instead, he’d taken the
initiative to attack and drove Gary away with a set of skills.
Yuan Ze had charged over to attack, but he still didn’t retreat. He took
advantage of the fact that he was still in his berserk state to resist the
damage and counterattack.
In just one or two seconds, FTW, who had originally been in a state of
crisis, regained its advantage through Lu Feng’s preemptive efforts.
Wei Xiao was completely relieved. After he finished his sweep through the
small jungle zone, he returned to the middle lane, “Little Ning, let’s get
revenge!”
Ning Zhehan was excited, “Okay!”
The immortal warlock didn’t take Ning Zhehan seriously at all. He was
very close to the front, wanting to find a chance to kill Ning Zhehan.
Ning Zhehan’s finger pressed down on the W key and was ready to move at
any time.
Pressing down on the keyboard was very simple, and anyone could release
skills. The difficult thing was grasping the timing.
It was no good if it was a little too late, and useless if it was too early. The
margin of error for the skill release was less than 0.01 seconds and had to be
accurate in order to hold down the flashy immortal warlock.
Wei Xiao landed a full ultimate move on the immortal warlock, but VIVI’s
reaction speed was able to catch up, and he relied on the small soldiers
nearby to share the damage and remain alive.
However…
Ning Zhehan pressed down on the shadow form skill, and the spirit mage
flew out from beneath the tower to the immortal warlock. At the moment
when the immortal warlock landed, a silver ball of light exploded against
his chest!
Bang, bang, bang!
Three explosions rang out in the headset, and Ning Zhehan cried out
excitedly, “They all hit!”
The spirit mage’s ultimate move had three stages of damage. If all of them
hit the same point on the same target, the damage would be tripled.
Based on the amount of damage dealt just now, the immortal warlock would
definitely die.
System Announcement––
FTW.Silvery killed L&P.VIVI!
Ning Zhehan had killed the immortal warlock!
He’d really gotten revenge!
Ning Zhehan yelled, “Nice!”
Wei Xiao: “Badass, Brother Ning, you killed the world’s number three
mage.”
Ning Zhehan tried to contain himself a little, “It’s the number three mid-
laner in the rankings.”
Then, “Holy shit, I beat the number three mid-laner on the world rankings.”
Little Ning’s ego was expanding!
At the same time, there was good news from the top lane.
FTW.Close killed L&P.Marshal!
FTW.Close killed L&P.Gary!
FTW.Close double kill!
This series of system announcements was so exciting that the entire FTW
team’s momentum instantly reached a new high.
At the top lane, L&P’s Yuan Ze and Old G wanted to gank Close, but they
were killed instead!
It was two against one, but both of them died.

There was nothing else that needed to be said.
The scrolling comments were packed densely with––the great demon king
was amazing!
He was really amazing. Before, they’d only known that he could play
jungler, and they’d never thought that he would also be such an overlord
when he went to the top lane.
What team fight?
The great demon king could fight alone!
As for solo?
He could fight two on one and still teach others how to be a man!
The fight on the top lane and mid-lane had started at about the same time.
In fact, the live broadcast studio had only carved out a small shot of Wei
Xiao and Ning Zhehan and had mainly focused on the top lane.
It was a peak level fight between Marshal and Close; it was too exciting,
okay?!
The blood warrior that was covered in a red aura after using its ultimate
move and the berserker warrior that was coated in icy blue were like ancient
gods of war dueling at the edge of a cliff!
Each move was murderous. Pairing dazzling special effects with a 3D

display made the battle so stunning that the audience’s scalps went numb.
After the blood warrior’s ultimate move was started up, he could crazily
suck health from his opponents by dealing damage. His bloodsucking blade
would change from red and black to a brilliant, bright red, looking like it
was filled with flowing, hot blood.
The berserker warrior’s transformation only lasted ten seconds, but it

became stronger with every passing second, and the special effects became
even chillier. In the last four seconds, the berserker warrior’s entire body
would be covered with ice blue flames, and even its heavy armor would be
burned to ashes, revealing its strong arms and chest muscles.
There were many female Glory players. In last year’s ranking for most
handsome talent specs, the berserker warrior only ranked seventh. However,
this segment was edited online after this game ended, and the crazy
warrior’s popularity was about to break through the sky in direct
competition against the shadow thief!
It was too damned handsome.
This man, Close, was really poisonous.
It was enough that he himself was handsome; how come even the heroes he
controlled carried his aura? It made people so handsome that their hearts
almost thumped out of their chests.
Four seconds, three seconds, two seconds, one second…
The berserker warrior’s berserk state ended, and the blood warrior’s
bloodsucking state disappeared.
The two of them had been fighting back and forth constantly over this brief
time.
Skills, positioning, avoiding damage…
Countless details made the audience’s scalps numb.
The two men of equal strength were strong enough to go up against the sky.
Their bodies were clearly outside the canyon, but it was as though they
were attached to the canyon and it was shocking when they clashed against
each other!
In the end, the berserker warrior cut down the blood warrior.
Lu Feng killed Yuan Ze.

If that was all, then the audience wouldn’t be filling up the screen like
crazy.
The berserker warrior who only had one segment of health left, who no
longer had its ultimate move, whose skills were all in cooldown, pressed
down on ‘teleport’.
In Glory, each hero could bring two system skills. Teleportation was a
required one, and using it allowed the player to be transmitted to a
teammate, a friendly defense tower, or friendly soldiers.
Everyone sucked in a breath, “Shit, Old G!”
Yes, Lu Feng had teleported to Old G.
In the fight just now, Old G had been disabled and could only retreat.
However, it was impossible for him to just return home like this. A
professional player would race against the clock to farm as much as
possible.
He wanted to use the soldiers in the top lane to regain some health and kill
Lu Feng after he’d recovered slightly.
Obviously, Lu Feng had seen through his idea. He teleported directly to

FTW’s soldiers.
Gary’s hands trembled slightly as he stared at the berserker warrior that had
dropped down from the sky.
Yuan Ze: “He has no skills left.”
Old G steadied himself as he realized that the great demon king in front of
him was just a paper tiger. He’d already recovered a small amount of health,
and if he tried hard and used all his skills…
Lu Feng didn’t use any skills at all. He used flash to approach and took
away Gary’s life with a single attack.
The entire scene fell silent.

Regardless of whether it was outside the stage or in the team voice chat.
It was as though everyone’s mute button had been pressed, and nobody
made a sound.
F*ck!
He still had flash!
This was also a system skill, and it was of a similar nature to teleport.
Players could choose to equip this skill at the start of the game.
The cooldown time for the skill was two minutes, and it was equivalent to a
movement skill. It allowed the player to flash quickly from Point A to Point
B.
Close had kept the flash skill all the way until now.
He’d planned to kill both of them right from the very beginning!
Two against one?
Ambush?
They wanted to kill the great demon king?
Sorry, but neither of them would be allowed to run.
The domestic fans were super excited. Regardless of whether they’d

previously been Close haters, haters for life, or haters till death, at this
moment, they all became his fan for three seconds.
Too cool, it was too damn cool.
They had to consider who he was up against!
It was L&P!
The 2019 global champion, the 2020 global runner up, the strongest top-
laner, the strongest jungler, and the strongest top-lane and jungler pairing!
One against two, and he’d killed both of them.
Close was really strong!
FTW’s team chat had also exploded.
Wei Xiao: “Holy shit holy shit!”
Bai Cai could vaguely sense that the next sentence would be problematic.
As expected, Wei Xiao was full of regret, “I really envy L&P!”
He also wanted to play in the same lane against Close, and he also wanted
to have a heated fight with him!
Ning Zhehan & Yue Wenle both thought to themselves: Your envy is aimed
at the wrong people, right?
Lu Feng comforted the grumpy little lunatic with a single sentence, “Solo,
tonight.”
Little Lunatic Wei came back to life on the spot, “Let’s kill L&P.”
To hell with envy. L&P could only play against Close several times a year,
but he could play and sing with him every single night.
Ten minutes into the game.
The score was 4:1.
L&P had died four times, of which Yuan Ze made up two of the deaths
This data was incredible.
Let alone facing the FTW team that always did a round trip for the global
competition, L&P wouldn’t be in such a state when fighting against strong
teams like Y1, Pro, and EVE.
Dying twice in a row? Was Marshal still the same Marshal?
Did he still deserve such an ID?
There was dead silence in L&P’s team chat.
Half a beat later, VIVI spoke in a low voice, “Sorry.”
If he hadn’t been killed, he could’ve gone to the top lane to provide support.
Yuan Ze fixed his eyes on the screen and said nothing.
Gary sat next to him and took advantage of his darkened screen of death to
sneak a quick look at him.
Yuan Ze’s black hair curled slightly, falling loosely on the tip of his pale
ear, imitating the black ear stud on his earlobe. Instead of showing a gloomy
expression, his lips were hooked up.
“Gary.” Yuan Ze’s voice was full of pleasure, “Let’s show them what a real
top-jungler linkage is.”
Gary’s scalp was numb, and goose bumps exploded all over his arms,
“Okay!”
A real top-jungler linkage.
It was the year that L&P dominated the Glory circle, and it was a legend
created by Marshal and Gary.
That was during Yuan Ze’s first year at L&P.
In the year after Yuan Ze had been put on the bench for a season as a
rubbish player after transferring to a new competition zone!
2017 was the peak year for the Team of Gods.

2018 was Yuan Ze’s low point.
He’d left his own competition zone and joined the powerful North
American competition zone. There were ethnic differences, nationality
differences, and even language barriers. Despite his proud achievements
and his strength that was enough to crush others, he had still encountered
discrimination and exclusion.
The team that had signed him at a high price had originally planned to make
good use of him.
Unfortunately, Glory was a team game. A player who couldn’t fit into the
team would only be abandoned.
In 2018, Yuan Ze made his debut but lost messily.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t good but more that his teammates didn’t cooperate
at all.
So what if he played the top-lane?
Even a lonely position like the top-lane still required the support of his
teammates.
Yuan Ze had no teammates.
He lost three games in a row during the regular season and went from being
a starter to a substitute––the most expensive substitute.
That year, the China competition zone lost ‘Marshal’, and the North
American competition zone hid ‘Marshal’.
Yuan Ze remained dormant for a season, then terminated his contract with
his team in 2019 and went to the mediocre team L&P.
He trained up Gary on his own, brought out VIVI, picked out his current
teammates, and formed a new L&P.
In 2019, the top-jungler linkage between Yuan Ze and Gary appeared in the
world, smashing its way through the North American competition zone,
charging all the way to the finals, and winning the world championship.
Yuan Ze proved himself with absolute strength––
He was very strong. No matter where he was, he was very strong.
But after the peak came the downhill slide.
In 2020, the hot L&P gradually lost its original intent and was only able to
obtain runner-up.
And now, L&P had been ignited again.
The heart that had been paralyzed by last year’s performance beat violently
once again, and they all experienced the long-lost feeling of boiling passion
within their blood.
Ch71.1 - The halo of glory shone on
all five souls!
Off-stage.
In the Pro team, Kim Sung-hyun sneered, “That doggy thing is getting
serious.”
In 2019, Kim Sung-hyun had returned home and trained with his team for a
year. It hadn’t been easy for them to finally make their way into the global
competition, but when they’d run into L&P back then, he’d personally
experienced the ‘top-jungler linkage’ between Yuan Ze and Gary.
Other people’s top-jungler linkage involved the jungler supporting the top-
laner and pushing the top lane to create opportunities, containing the enemy
and building up a farming snowball in order to win the game.
That wasn’t the case for L&P.
Their linkage was enough to make the entire canyon tremble!
After all of L&P’s players resurrected, their formation changed.
The commentator was an old expert and noticed it at a glance:
“L&P’s demonic shaman is headed for the top lane!”
“Is Marshal and Gary’s top-jungler linkage about to start?”
“FTW’s really good. They managed to drive L&P to this point!”
Not every team could make L&P start to play seriously. As long as they
could win, they wouldn’t necessarily take everything out and show off all
their skills.
L&P’s momentum was now totally different from before.
They’d obviously lost four kills, and their farming was behind, but they
didn’t seem to be on the losing side at all. Instead, they showed a strong and
oppressive aura.
In FTW’s team chat.
Bai Cai: “F*ck, what’s going on with L&P’s marksman?!”
Yue Wenle evaded the skill that came flying over and said, “Brother Cai,
shield.”
Bai Cai gave him a shield, and the two of them retreated to their tower to
preserve their lives.
Just when they were feeling relieved, two teleportation skills lit up, and
L&P’s top-laner and jungler who’d arrived at the same time moved directly
towards the tower. The blood warrior didn’t even start up its ultimate move
and simply swept its blade directly across. The bloodsucking blade looked
like the devil’s teeth as it tore into the frost hunter’s throat.
System announcement: L&P Marshal killed FTW.Le.
Bai Cai was dazed, “I…”
He still had an unused ultimate move, but he hadn’t even been able to send
it out before Yue Wenle died.
The holy priest’s ultimate move was a powerful heal. If he used it, he could
heal all friendly troops within range.
Yue Wenle was anxious, “Old Bai, run!”
Yuan Ze, who’d killed Yue Wenle, withdrew from the defense tower’s
attack range. At the same time, Gary rushed beneath the tower and locked
onto Bai Cai with his scythe.
Bai Cai immediately started up his ultimate move and his first and third
skill. The three skills were released at the same time, and it was enough to
heal a dead person back to life.
However, it was useless.
A berserker thief’s scythe skill could drag the target it had locked onto to
their side.
Bai Cai had originally been hiding beneath the tower, but in the next
second, he was trapped in a crowd of L&P players.
L&P’s marksman shot at him, lowering his armor and applying a weakened
state, casting a shadow over the priest that was covered in a holy light.
Gary’s scythe flew and danced everywhere, each attack drawing blood.
Even if Brother Cai had 10,000 mouthfuls of milk, it would still have all
been used up.
And at the end… Marshal took away his life with a single attack.
System announcement: L&P.Marshal double kill!
The commentator couldn’t help cheering, “Beautiful!”
Fans in the China competition zone were extremely dissatisfied with this,
“Everyone knows that FTW’s bottom lane is easy pickings. If they have the
ability, they should go kill the great demon king!”
“Close took a double kill in a 1v2 fight, and Yuan Ze took a double kill in a
3v2 fight. What’s so beautiful about that?”
“If you have the ability, go and fight 1v1 against Close and Quiet!’
“Didn’t God Yuan fight against them at the start? He was beaten like a
dog.”
An ordinary player would think that the fight was one-sided, and they only
felt that L&P was targeting FTW’s weakness in an unfair fight.
However, they’d ignored the truth.
This was a team game.
It was a game that required tacit cooperation, a team competition where five
people combined together created unlimited power!
Yuan Ze and Gary’s top-jungler linkage involved the whole L&P!
Killing Bai Cai and Yue Wenle was only the beginning, but it was a perfect
start to a series of chess moves.
Bai Cai and Yue Wenle had both been killed, and Wei Xiao wanted to rush
over to the bottom lane.
Lu Feng: “Protect the mid-lane.”
Wei Xiao stopped moving, “Got it.”
The bottom lane was already done for, and the blood warrior, berserker thief
and launcher were all heroes that could take down the tower quickly. Even
if Wei Xiao went over, he wouldn’t be able to save the tower. Since that was
the case, it was better to stabilize Ning Zhehan’s mid-lane.
Commentator A praised, “FTW made the right choice.”
Commentary B agreed, “If Quiet went to the bottom lane, not only would
he have been forcibly killed, he also wouldn’t have been able to defend the
tower.”
“What would’ve made the move even more fatal is that they would have
also lost the middle tower.”
This was a chain reaction caused by L&P’s surprise attack.
They forcibly killed two people and took down the defense tower. If Wei
Xiao went to provide support, he would definitely die without a doubt; at
the same time, VIVI, who was in the middle lane, could kill Ning Zhehan
and gain the mid-lane advantage.
Wei Xiao giving up the bottom lane tower and protecting the middle lane
tower was the correct choice. At the very least, VIVI wouldn’t dare to press
forward and attack Ning Zhehan.
This choice minimized their losses.
When faced with L&P’s powerful counterattack, FTW had already

implemented the optimal solution.
However…
Kim Sung-hyun was expressionless, “Naive.”
He’d been taken down by Old Bandit Yuan’s trick many times, but he still
hadn’t found a way to deal with it.
FTW’s optimal solution was actually a helpless move.
After FTW’s bottom lane tower exploded, Yuan Ze and Gary arrived at the
middle lane almost instantly.
Wei Xiao’s pupils contracted, “Little Ning!”
But it was too late. Ning Zhehan wasn’t very far ahead, and he wasn’t even
outside of the range of his own defense tower, but the blood warrior
approached in an instant and stabbed into his body directly anyway.
Ning Zhehan immediately used flash to increase the distance between them.
He hadn’t had time to remind Ning Zhehan that Gary was waiting in
ambush when Gary had already stretched out his scythe and locked onto the
spirit mage who’d thrown himself right into the net.
Wei Xiao: “Use your ultimate!”

In this kind of situation where there was no doubt that he would die, he
could only try his best to deal the most DPS he could and create
opportunities for his teammates.
But at the end of the day, Ning Zhehan was still short on experience. After
being taken by surprise and messed around like this, he panicked.
He managed to use his ultimate move, but the spirit mage required exquisite
attention to detail and operation in order to play out the full amount of
damage. At this time, the move seemed to have been launched by a child
and didn’t even manage to tickle Gary.
System announcement: L&P.Gary killed FTW.Silvery!
At the same time, there was another one: FTW.Close killed L&P.Mo.
Old G killed Ning Zhehan and Lu Feng killed L&P’s support player Mo.
They’d traded a support player for three FTW players.
L&P had really come out ahead in this exchange!
In just a few short minutes, L&P had pulled back from 4:1 to 5:4 and taken
down two of FTW’s outer towers. They’d torn down half of FTW’s canyon!
The advantages that FTW had established in the early stages disappeared
instantly, and they fell into a disadvantage.
This was L&P’s top-jungler linkage.
This was the power of a united team.
This was the amazing fighting power of a team that was twisted together to
form a rope.
L&P’s support remained in the top lane and used the demonic shaman’s
powerful control and tower support ability to keep Close occupied.
In the bottom lane, L&P’s marksman suppressed Bai Cai and Yue Wenle all
on his own.
Yuan Ze and Gary arrived in time to take down two kills.
In fact, even before the bottom tower had been completely destroyed, the
two of them had already made their way to the mid-lane. They killed Ning
Zhehan and took down the mid-lane tower.
The entire process was too smooth and coherent.
L&P’s top-jungler linkage had never been limited to only Yuan Ze and
Gary, but also involved the entire team. They were just the spearhead!
Tacit understanding, trust, and strong cohesion.
This was the amazing strength that a strong team could show in 5v5 games.
Yuan Ze wasn’t picking on FTW’s weakness.
This was what a team game should be like.
5v5 had never been a fight between lone wolves.
Without cutting off someone’s hands and feet, how could one reach their
heart?
L&P gave FTW a very clear lesson.
The five people involved in the team competition weren’t individuals. They
were a whole.
There was no single player here. There was only L&P!
The four L&P players all headed to the top lane.
Even Close had no choice but to avoid their sharp edge and retreat to the
second tower.
At this time.
All three of FTW’s lanes had collapsed, and none of their outer towers
remained.
The advantages they’d gained at the start was like a castle built on a sand
foundation, crumbling and collapsing flat under the impact from turbulent
waves.
This was L&P, the team that had won the world championship. These were
the five people who had defeated countless powerful teams and had once
stood at the top.
The halo of glory.
It shone on all five souls!
Off-stage.
Chen Feng was so nervous that he was biting his thumb.
Tang Chen watched him and felt like his eyes were burning, “It’s not a loss
for them to lose.”
Chen Feng exhaled lightly, “They’ve already done their best.”
Tang Chen: “Yes, they were excellent!”
They’d been able to push L&P to this point, and they’d been able to make
Yuan Ze and Gary play at this level of strength. They were able to
experience the rhythm of such a legendary team.
For the FTW team that had just come together, it was already a great
harvest!
They were still brand new, and they were still young.
But they had endless potential!

When faced with strong enemies, setbacks, and high mountains.
What FTW needed to do was conquer them!
In this one sided situation, many people believed that FTW’s team chat
would definitely be very quiet.
But the truth was…
Wei Xiao: “Old Bandit Yuan was really hiding his ability!”
“That doggy thing was always looking down on us!”
“This is what a real f*cking training match should be like!”
Wei Xiao had only participated in two training matches between FTW and
L&P.
When Wei Xiao was about to join the team, he’d played in two training
matches in a temporary capacity.
At the time, Yuan Ze had also been very powerful.
But, compared with the current Yuan Ze, the Yuan Ze from before seemed
to have been sleepwalking!
There were no feelings of depression within the FTW team, only an

eagerness to try. Wei Xiao declared, “We’ll give it a go later!”
The other four members of FTW, Lu Feng included, were stunned for a
moment.
Wei Xiao wasn’t only talking to Lu Feng, but to all of his teammates, “This
top-jungler linkage, our FTW can do it too.”
Close was definitely no worse than Yuan Ze.
Wei Xiao wasn’t any worse than Gary either.

Ning Zhehan, Bai Cai, and Yue Wenle weren’t any worse than the other
three members of L&P.
So, why couldn’t they give it a try?
This was an oppressive rhythm that was like a lane toppling machine. This
vigorous team linkage and team cooperation that bowed down to no one.
They could do it too!
It was at this moment, right at this time.
Wei Xiao finally really felt the charm of the team competition.
Unlike a single person solo or the doubles competition that had two people
playing side by side, in this 5v5, 10 person battlefield, what was needed
was even more powerful team cohesion!
It was fascinating, extremely fascinating.
Bai Cai chuckled and said, “In that case, I’ll have to practice my demonic
shaman.”
Just now, during L&P’s charge, their support player Mo had played a vital
role.
If the demonic shaman hadn’t kept Close occupied, L&P wouldn’t have
been able to play so flashily in the middle and bottom lanes.
Bai Cai’s sentence expressed his support of Wei Xiao’s words.
Ning Zhehan quivered all over. He suppressed the numbness that wanted to
spread up his spine and said solemnly, “I’ll also practice assassin mages.”
Yue Wenle spoke in a low voice, “I’ll practice my ability to fight one
against two.”
L&P’s marksman’s ability to hold down Bai Cai and Yue Wenle with his
own strength had been the key to their breakthrough.
Lu Feng spoke, “We can try it now.”
xiin: *squeaaaal*
Ch71.2 - As long as the
resurrection crystal was still there,
the game wasn’t over yet!
The entire team, particularly Bai Cai and Yue Wenle, couldn’t help but look
over at their captain.
They’d been with Close for a whole season and were too aware of how
reticent he was.
He never talked nonsense during the game and only ever spoke to give key
instructions.
Previously, the Mic Explosion King had exposed FTW’s team chat many
times, and everyone’s evaluation of FTW was: Serious.
Indeed. They could all feel the FTW’s seriousness from their team chat.
Nobody spoke any nonsense, and everyone was focused on the game. Other
than giving situation updates and sending signals, there was no excess
communication.
This wasn’t a bad thing. In the old Team of Gods voice chat, they’d taken
down one championship after another while remaining serious and silent.
However, today, Close had actually given such a ‘playful’ suggestion.
Wei Xiao returned to normal instantly and stopped just short of smacking
his own forehead, “Oh yeah, why should we wait for later? We’ll try it right
now!”
Bai Cai & Ning Zhehan & Yue Wenle: “???”

Wei Xiao felt like it was more and more reasonable the more he thought
about it, “Old Yue, how is 1v2 a big deal? You’re a frost hunter, your
farming isn’t behind, and you have a long range. Why are you afraid of the
other side’s launcher?”
He continued, “Little Ning, your spirit mage is an assassin mage. Use the
shadow form and burst out with your ultimate move. Where’s the energy
you had when you killed the top third ranked player in the world? Take it
back out and kill him!”
Bai Cai hurried to answer before he even started, “Laozi is just a healer.”
The demonic shaman was able to keep Close occupied by relying on its
powerful control skills and ability to repair the tower. As a holy priest, what
could he do?
He couldn’t control others and keep them occupied. Was he supposed to

sing (heal) to himself?
Wei Xiao chuckled, “Our defense towers are all broken anyway. Those who
are barefoot can’t be afraid of those who wear shoes. Since they have their
top-jungler linkage, we’ll also do a top-jungler linkage and kill them all!”
Could you please stop laughing like a villain?!
What could he say? Really, what could he say? Both daddies wanted to
charge up, so he could only rush up and warm up his voice!
The 16 teams in the banquet hall, the two commentators on the stage, and
the tens of thousands of spectators stalking the live broadcast room all felt
that the game was already over.
L&P was very strong.

FTW was also very excellent.
Although they would lose, FTW had given hope to countless fans, lightened
their hearts, and given them unlimited expectations for the near future.
It was over. This battle was already enough.
The onlookers all thought so, but then they saw the FTW that was acting
like a fierce wolf!
Over? Give up? Stop?
As long as the resurrection crystal was still there, the game wasn’t over yet!
“Holy shit, FTW is…”
“They actually learned on the spot and started to make use of it!”
“L&P’s top-jungler linkage, FTW is doing it too!”
“Can they really do that…”
Not only was the audience stunned; even L&P was stunned.
In the second half of the game, FTW had fallen into a complete decline and
could only protect their resurrection crystal from their base.
L&P wasn’t in a hurry. As long as they controlled the soldiers from across
the three lanes and captured the ancient creatures to ensure that their team
was in peak condition, they could defeat FTW in one fell swoop.
FTW, which had originally retreated into a huddled group, started to move
again.
First of all, mid-lane’s Ning Zhehan actually rushed out of the base and
started to pester VIVI’s immortal warlock.
The frost hunter in the bottom jungle zone also came out and started to kite
the launcher with its little figure.
This didn’t matter much. At this time, them charging out alone was
equivalent to simply sending their heads over to the other side.
However…
Just as L&P’s bottom laner and support wanted to kill Yue Wenle, the
berserker warrior, immortal thief, and holy priest all charged out of the
bushes.
L&P’s marksman was caught by surprise, “F*ck!”
The demonic shaman quickly acted as a shield for its own team’s
marksman. Unfortunately, the immortal thief used its ultimate move and
landed a full set of skills on him, quickly killing the marksman.
The demonic shaman reacted very quickly. He began to retreat, wanting to

wait for Yuan Ze and Gary to provide support. Unfortunately…
The frost hunter’s slow debuff poked at him over and over, the immortal
thief’s linked skills came together, and the berserker warrior’s blade swept
over continuously. The demonic shaman used all of its recovery and heal
skills but was still unable to hold on.
Commentator A: “FTW hasn’t given up!”
“They actually fought their way out and killed two people from L&P!”
“Marshal and Gary have killed the ancient creatures and taken both dragon
buffs.”
“Quickly take a look at the mid-lane. FTW’s mid-lane beat VIVI into
retreat!”
The live broadcast room had also exploded, “Amazing, they were able to
seize the opportunity and attack!”
“Ning Zhehan’s pretty good, his spirit mage is excellent. He was actually
able to beat VIVI into retreat.”
“However, Yuan Ze is making his way over. Little Ning’s done for.”
“Trading one life for two isn’t a loss.”
FTW’s die-hard fans burst out into passionate tears, “Our babies are so
fierce, it’s making me cry like a dog.”
“They want to win, they really want to win.”
“They did their best, they really did their best. They’ve really done the best
they can!”
Even the haters gave a fair evaluation, “This year’s FTW is strong.”
In the last round of team fights, both sides had really exerted their strength
to the utmost.
Ning Zhehan was killed by Yuan Ze.
L&P’s marksman and support were killed by Wei Xiao and Close.
There were seven people still standing in the canyon.
L&P’s Yuan Ze, Gary, and VIVI, who were all in full health.
All four of FTW’s remaining team members were healed back to full health
by Bai Cai’s ultimate move.
3v4.
It may seem as though FTW had the advantage, but everyone was worried
about them.
The gap in their economy was too big.
At this time, all three members of L&P had full sets of gear, and Gary and
Marshal even had done enough farming to switch seamlessly between
resurrection armor and invincible gear.
In contrast, although FTW had four people, only Close had a full set of
gear. Even Wei Xiao was half a piece short, not to mention Yue Wenle and
Bai Cai.
The frost hunter’s farming wasn’t very good and could only wait for death.
Bai Cai had just used his ultimate move and only had three skills left. The
amount of healing he could provide had dropped sharply.
What to do?
Should they attack or retreat?
Wei Xiao looked at the minimap, “Attack!”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
They had no way to retreat.
What they could do––
Was to give it their best!
Yue Wenle inhaled lightly and said, “Brother Cai, don’t worry about me.”
As he spoke, he launched all his skills at VIVI and attempted to take away
L&P’s core DPS dealer with his explosive DPS attacks.
Unfortunately, VIVI’s hand speed was amazing, and he linked up his skills
immediately, taking flight with a series of moves. His ultimate move, flying
in the clouds, made him immune to the burst damage. At the same time, he
launched countless streaks of thunder attacks that were concentrated on Yue
Wenle’s body.
Yue Wenle fell.
Wei Xiao didn’t say a single word. He rushed up and stabbed at the
immortal warlock with his blade even before he could land.
Yue Wenle’s screen went dark, but his heart jumped up to this throat,
“Careful! Yuan Ze has gone around the back!”
The other side’s actions were faster than Yue Wenle’s voice. Wei Xiao
hadn’t yet had a chance to use his movement skill when Yuan Ze’s bright
red blade stabbed into his back.
“Damn it!” Bai Cai rushed up and tossed out all his skills, healing Wei Xiao
crazily.
He used a directional skill and was so busy healing Wei Xiao that he didn’t
have time to take care of himself.
Gary’s scythe flew over and locked on Bai Cai. He killed him and sent him
back home!
The commentators: “It’s 2v2 now!”
“Both sides are left with their top-laner and jungler.”
“These two teams with strong top-jungler combos are having the ultimate
showdown!
The four people on the field moved faster than the commentators could
speak.
Not long ago, Yuan Ze and Gary had lost to Close and Wei Xiao in a
doubles competition.
In this 5v5, would the top-jungler legends be defeated again?
In this four person team fight, the skills were dazzling, and the special
effects were gorgeous, matching up with exquisite positioning and
operations.
The berserker thief locked onto the immortal thief.
Wei Xiao was just waiting for Old G to pull him over. At the moment when
he approached, he released all three of his skills, followed by basic
attacks… it was so fast that it dazzled the eye, and it was followed by the
immortal thief’s ultimate move––ten thousand swords split the sky!
It was a very beautiful skill. The special effects of this ultimate move
weren’t much worse than the shadow thief’s eight light arcs.
Shining silver longswords fell from the sky, this well-positioned strike
ringing in the ears as Old G’s health plummeted down to a critical state.
If Wei Xiao landed another basic attack, he’d be able to kill him!
At such a critical time, Wei Xiao certainly wouldn’t make any mistakes. He
swept his blade across and pierced Old G.
Old G fell to the ground.
Bai Cai: “Gary has resurrection armor!”
He then called out, “Captain, help!”
The immortal thief who’d used up all his skills definitely didn’t dare to
fight against the berserker thief that was about to resurrect on the spot. So…
he asked Close for help.
Lu Feng had been exchanging blows with Yuan Ze.
The two of them were having a close fight and neither side had the
advantage. Reasonably speaking, Lu Feng wouldn’t be able to pull away.
However…
He sent Yuan Ze flying with a hit and used this gap that lasted less than half
a second to slash down at the berserker thief nearby.
The distance was calculated just right. The berserker warrior’s range of
attack was extended when it was in its berserk state and could just reach
Gary.
Gary’s heart pounded, “Shit!”
He’d managed to stand up again with his resurrection armor, but he was
only at a third of his health. How could he hold up against the berserker
warrior’s blade?
It was a pity that his own captain hadn’t come to save him.
Yuan Ze: “Wait, I’ll avenge you.”
He charged forward and applied a deceleration effect, then went around Lu

Feng to stab Wei Xiao in the chest.
The immortal thief’s white clothing flared out around him. He would
receive a blood mark bonus after taking damage.
The crimson red color contrasted sharply against the snow white clothing.
Wei Xiao’s health bar plummeted. Seeing that he was about to die, he
quickly used his last three skills to encircle Yuan Ze. “Captain, kill him!”
The berserker warrior’s berserk state was about to disappear. After killing
Gary, Lu Feng didn’t waste any time at all. He used the basic attack that
was strengthened by his ultimate move and cleaved at Yuan Ze with
everything he had.
Yuan Ze had no way to avoid him and died at the same time as Wei Xiao.
It was a fierce battlefield, a brilliant canyon.
Only one person remained.
The berserker warrior who had just come out of its berserk state was
covered in broken pieces of heavy armor, with a body full of wounds.
Defeat!
Close was alive.

FTW lost.
In the final team battle, FTW had killed all five people from L&P, winning
the last round of team fights.
Unfortunately, FTW lost to L&P.
Because, long before the team fight began, L&P, who had captured the two
ancient creatures, was already invincible.
As early as before the fight began, Wei Xiao, who’d looked at the minimap,
knew what the result would be––
Regardless of whether they won or lost this team fight.
FTW’s resurrection crystal wouldn’t be able to hold up.
The flames from nine dragons were enough to burn down everything.
In the situation where they would definitely lose, they still chose to fight
until the end.
Losing was nothing.
The most important thing was to do their best!
In a game, having no regrets was the real victory.
FTW lost to L&P, but they were still greeted with a wave of cheers.
It had been too wonderful.
This indomitable spirit, this courage when faced with a strong enemy, this
perseverance that led them to fight to the very end.
What was the charm in competitive gaming?
It was the brilliant glory that appeared after everyone in the field gave their
best efforts!
xiin: ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Ch72.1 - Experiencing the tiredness
that comes after a climax
The commentators spoke at a super fast pace and gave a brief review of the
battle that had already come to an end.
FTW lost, and L&P won.
But at this time, all of them were true winners.
The ten people who had thoroughly enjoyed the battlefield were all worthy
of applause and praise.
Commentator A: “FTW’s last wave was really unfortunate. If the gap in

farming had been smaller, and Quiet had a full set of gear, it would be hard
to say who would have won.”
“It’s already very impressive that their mentality didn’t collapse after facing
off against that kind of cohesive action.”
“FTW’s mid-laner Silvery was very crucial. Although he fell at first, he

managed to force VIVI back and block Yuan Ze, giving his teammates a
chance to kill L&P’s marksman.”
The whole game was wonderful, but the thing that nobody could forget was
FTW’s last counterattack.
Their defense towers were completely broken, and their lane soldiers had
all been under their opponents’ control. They couldn’t touch the ancient
creatures at all and were stuck in their base waiting to be abused.
Since they were sure to lose, they might as well go out and fight.
If they went out, they would have a chance to snatch control back over the
lane soldiers. If they went out, they’d have a chance to win a group fight
before their opponents took both dragon buffs. Going out gave them a
chance to use their lives to find an opportunity to win.
FTW had indeed gone out to fight!
They’d first killed two people, torn down L&P’s tight defenses, then drawn
out a bright flower of hope despite the desperate situation.
Unfortunately, they were up against L&P, a global championship team that

had been thoroughly awakened from their slumber.
Their control over timing, their understanding of the operations, and their
overall battle situation planning was far superior to that of the immature
FTW.
Yuan Ze and Gary had each taken down an ancient creature, and the ancient
blessings that shone on their bodies gave their stats a comprehensive boost.
The three high mobility players from L&P had all circled around, and FTW
had no way out.
Even if they could see the lane soldiers, even if they knew that the dragons
would spray fire at the resurrection crystal, even if winning or losing was a
forgone conclusion regardless of the outcome of their current team battle.
They’d still chosen to fight.
Retreat would only lead to a worse death.
But there was still a chance for survival if they fought.
This was the judgment that Wei Xiao had made at the time.
As long as they killed L&P three seconds earlier, their captain, who was
still alive, could use the teleportation skill that was already off cooldown to
return home and protect their resurrection crystal.
Unfortunately…
There wasn’t really any need for the ‘unfortunately’. They’d already done
their best.
Those last ‘three seconds’ was their growth target.
This goal required time and honing. It had to be accumulated gradually!
The game was over.
Wei Xiao leaned back in his chair, “Nice!”
Bai Cai laughed at him, “We lost, damnit. What’s so nice about that.”
Ning Zhehan breathed lightly, “Although we lost, it felt great.”
Old Yue nodded, “Yeah, really great.”
It felt better than the matches they’d won before.
Wei Xiao was amused, “Brothers, you guys are pretty good. Are you all
quaking masochists? How about we solo when we get back, and I’ll let you
feel even better than great…. ah, ouch…”
The captain had flicked him on the forehead.
Lu Feng: “Time to go.”
Wei Xiao followed suit and stood up even as he whined quietly to Bai Cai,
“That’s not good, is the captain jealous? Will he end up keeping me out of
the room tonight?!”
Brother Vegetable staggered and almost performed ‘how to land flat on

one’s face’ on the stage, “Shut up, you!”
Both sides shook hands.

L&P’s mid-laner VIVI held Ning Zhehan’s hand firmly. Little Ning was
very stubborn and gripped back just as tightly. The two of them had fought
against each other in the arena, then fought over their grip strength after the
match. A real man couldn’t lose anywhere!
Reasonably speaking, Yuan Ze should shake hands with Close, who was
also a top-laner. However, he went to stand in front of Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao reluctantly held out his hand. Yuan Ze lowered his voice and said,
“L&P’s main doors are open to you…”
Wei Xiao: “Heh…”
Before he could mock these words, Yuan Ze had already finished the rest of
his sentence, “To come and challenge us any time.”
Wei Xiao’s eyebrows rose up. He understood what he meant.
This doggy thing was finally acting like a human being.
Wei Xiao grasped his hand, used strength, and said, “Just wait. Next time
I’ll make you guys try your best.”
Yuan Ze’s hand hurt. He secretly cursed that this brat was really strong, but
he had to pretend that it was nothing on the surface. “I’m looking forward
to it.”
On the other side, Gary was also trying to trash talk with Lu Feng with his
broken Chinese, “I’ll garlic you next time…”
Lu Feng was expressionless, “You can use English.”
Gary: “…………”
Yuan Ze dragged away his own silly idiot and said goodbye to Lu Feng,
“See you later.”
Lu Feng was slightly stunned, and the corners of his lips raised up slightly,
“See you later.”
Wei Xiao stuck his head over. He seemed to sense that something was off
and asked as soon as they got off the stage, “Captain, is ‘see you later’
some kind of secret code?”
Chen Feng, who’d just been about to give them a hug full of love, was
stunned.
Tang Chen who was to the side laughed loudly, “Marshal said it, right? In
the old FTW, they would say ‘see you later’ every time they lost in a solo
game, which means that they’ll beat you up next time.”
Wei Xiao caught onto the key point, “Captain, you used to solo often with
Old Bandit Yuan.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao fought to make sure he was the one sitting next to the captain
even as he asked, “How often?”
Wei Xiao was relentless, “Was it more often than we do?!”
Bai Cai’s brain hurt, “Brother Xiao, your vinegar smell is wafting over to us
in the back seat.”
Wei Xiao was full of righteousness, “I don’t care, I can’t lose to Old Dog
Yuan!”
Lu Feng whispered something to him.
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up instantly, “Oh yeah, you two were together for more
than a year, but we’ll be together for a lifetime. In that case, we’ll be
playing together more often!”
Bai Cai died an instant death against the back of the seat.
Chen Feng: “……………………”

Be careful when showing love and stay away from small animals!
After FTW and L&Ps explosive opening game, the following game was a
bit boring in comparison.
The Black Knights who were in second place were very chivalrous and
selected the 6th place team. Both sides were steady, and the entire banquet
hall grew a little drowsy.
The audience watching the live broadcast left some interesting scrolling
comments––
“Sorry, fellow brothers. I’m experiencing the tiredness that comes after a
climax.”
Although the words were crude, and although he was muted afterwards, this
fellow brother had given voice to countless people’s thoughts.
FTW and L&P’s fight had really had repeated high peaks and climaxes. The
audience had followed them and gotten incredibly high and excited.
When watching this match that was more like a bowl of clean and simple
soup, they suddenly felt that it was very tasteless in their mouths.
The third game wasn’t bad though. Pro felt true love for 3U and chose them
again.
Asleep and Cong Yi targeted Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran desperately, and
both sides played wonderfully.
Although 3U ultimately lost, the audience still gave this team a very high
evaluation.
In this year’s winter training competition, China competition zone’s four

teams were all very brilliant.
FTW went without saying; they were like a deep-water torpedo that had
exploded throughout Glory’s 2021 competition scene.
3U wasn’t much worse. The pajamas combo’s eye-catching operations gave
the entire China competition zone a lot of hope for the global doubles
competition.
RR’s situation in Group B was similar to FTW’s in that they’d managed to

pull aggro across the entire scene with their own efforts. Moonlit and Xie
He had such a bloody exchange that the competition committee had to
make a strategic decision to change the rules.
TPT seemed to be the most low-key. Other than the ‘scandal’ between
Eurostar and Y1’s Yan Jiang, there was no other big news from them. Fans
familiar with the team understood that TPT’s data emperor had already
stripped down all the teams in Group B, and if he listed all the data, RR’s
Money would probably be willing to risk running out of money to buy, buy,
buy…
After the points competition was over, everyone dispersed and went back to
their training rooms.
Coach Chen Feng obtained a recording of the fight and turned on the
projector when he returned to the training room.
He placed both hands on the table and looked at the five starters, “… Very
good.”
When the Poison-tongued Queen said these two words, Yue Wenle, who
was usually in a daze, was shocked silly.
Ning Zhehan was a little excited and sat up straighter.
When they normally went over the game, Chen Feng picked out their faults
until they could die, and he would never stop until he’d hammered them
until they were dejected and in low spirits.
Although Ning Zhehan joined the team late, he’d also already experienced
this Chen-style attack. It felt worse than being killed by the opponent in the
game.
Today’s Chen Feng didn’t say any heavy words at all. The entire review
process was abnormally smooth and basically filled with praise.
FTW had shown many problems during this game. Even without
mentioning the bottom lane and support, just Wei Xiao and Lu Feng had
already made a lot of mistakes.
Chen Feng was never polite to Lu Feng. So what if he was the great demon
king? So what if he was the boss? As someone who’d watched him grow up
(not), Mother Hen Chen concerned himself with actual events, not people!
Tang Chen’s ears were itchy, “Can you speak properly…”
Bai Cai nodded emphatically.
Coach Chen, who’d managed to be gentle for ten minutes, blew up, “What,
does your skin start to itch for a beating if I say some good words? Do you
really need to be scolded? Bai Cai, don’t you feel embarrassed when you
nod? Were you sleepwalking in the bottom lane? You didn’t hear the
teleportation sound? Yuan Ze suddenly rushed in, and you weren’t even
able to launch an ultimate move. What kind of fart holy priest are you
playing?!”
Tang Chen: “Mm, that’s how it should be.”
The training room burst out into laughter.
Chen Feng looked at the group of cubs who were in a good state of mind
and didn’t hide anything anymore. He reverted back to his true colors and
scolded them into bloody dogs.
At the end of the scolding, he still couldn’t hold back and boasted, “You
guys fought really well.”
They really had. It was the best FTW game he’d seen in the many years
he’d been a coach.
During the time when the Team of Gods was active, he’d gone on to
become a data analyst after retiring and hadn’t been a coach.
When the Team of Gods disbanded, the coaching team had also scattered
everywhere. When Close came to find him, Chen Feng had been terrified,
“Will I be able to do it?”
Close had said, “If I can be the head of a club, then why can’t you be a
coach?”
Chen Feng had looked at this youth who was much younger than him and
gritted his teeth, “Okay!”
After three years of ups and downs, Chen Feng wanted to see a complete
team more than anyone else.
And this year, he finally did.
A FTW that was able to play out with momentum despite being beaten by a
global champion team!
It was exciting and stimulating on the stage, but it wasn’t the same off-
stage.
If it hadn’t been for how Chen Feng loved his dignity, he might even have
been forced to tears.
He couldn’t bear to scold them. Even if there’d been some small mistakes,
the five players in the game had fought hard until the very end.
Being inexperienced was okay.
Not having enough experience was okay.
It didn’t matter if their game consciousness wasn’t great…

None of those things were a problem as long as they didn’t give up the
game, didn’t dodge from hardship, and had a heart that wanted to win.
They were the best!
By the time they finished going over the game, it was half past ten.
Chen Feng wanted them to continue ranking on the international server.
Wei Xiao’s hands were itchy, “Let’s play as a team of five.”
He looked at Lu Feng with eager eyes as though fearing that the captain
would have something else to do.
Lu Feng stilled, “Fine with me.”
Wei Xiao immediately grew excited, “Come, come, come, let’s do it. Top-
jungler linkage, let’s study it further!”
They’d only done a single wave of it during the training match, and it really
wasn’t satisfying. He wanted to try it again!
Lu Feng didn’t have a problem with it, and the others didn’t, either. It was
only Bai Cai who said, “Wait for me, I’m going to squat on the toilet first.”
Wei Xiao was anxious enough to die, “Hurry up, hurry up. I’m sacrificing
solo time for a five person queue, don’t mess with me!”
That’s right, he’d even let go of a great chance to solo with Lu Feng in
order to play as a team of five. The sacrifice was huge.
Bai Cai was very reasonable, “If Laozi’s state isn’t good, you’ll curse me
for being a vegetable.”
Wei Xiao inexplicably felt that this sentence seemed a little flavorful and
waved his hand, “Go quickly and come back quickly!”
While they were waiting for Bai Cai, Wei Xiao felt aggrieved and turned to
look at Lu Feng, “Captain…”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao asked, “What time are you going to bed tonight?”
Lu Feng always slept at midnight, and even lightning couldn’t change his
schedule. However, everyone was in a good state tonight, and a little later
was fine, “One o’clock.”
Wei Xiao was full of heartache, “Look, we’ll have no time to solo.”
Lu Feng’s eyes were stained with a hint of a smile, “There really isn’t
time.”
Wei Xiao felt wronged to death, “Then, can I save it?”
Lu Feng: “?”
Wei Xiao: “Save tonight’s solo for another time when we’re free…”
Lu Feng indulged him, “Okay.”
Wei Xiao was greedy again, “Then, can I accumulate interest?”
Wei Xiao really admired his own wisdom and intelligence, “I have one
round of solo tonight. If it’s saved for five days, it’ll turn into five games!”
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle, who were across from them, were dazed: That
was such a high interest loan! What kind of interest was so crazy! Oh, it
was Lunatic Wei’s brand of interest.
Lu Feng turned to look at him.
Wei Xiao wasn’t scared of his cold expression. He acted coquettish and
said, “How about it? Look at how I gave up on soloing tonight on my own
initiative for the sake of the team…”
The tips of Lu Feng’s ears that were blocked by his hair quivered slightly,
“Okay.”
Little Ning and Yue: “…………………………”
The captain lost even before Wei Xiao finished his ‘coquettish’ act.
Wei Xiao beamed with joy, “Captain, you’re so nice! I like…”
The three words ‘you the most’ hadn’t yet been said when Lu Feng
interrupted him, “Go kill soldiers.”
Wei Xiao: “Eh?”
Lu Feng reverted back to the great demon king’s true colors, “If you had
been in full gear in the last wave, what would the result have been.”
The naughty child withered in a second, and Lu Feng started to feel a little
distressed.
Wei Xiao: “Yeah! If I had six full pieces of gear, the damage dealt would
definitely have been different!”
He would’ve been able to kill Old Dog Yuan at least two seconds earlier. In
that case… FTW may have been able to win!
Wei Xiao had never been aggrieved when it came to proper business. He
immediately went to open up his own custom game and kill soldiers.
Ning Zhehan followed suit quickly. Old Yue put down his potato chips and
also started killing soldiers while waiting for Brother Cai.
Ch72.2 - My father doesn’t deserve
to have such a good son as you
After Bai Cai came back, the five of them teamed up and played until
around one o’clock.
Tacit understanding between players in the team had to be cultivated slowly.

It wasn’t something that would happen with just one person’s hard work.
In particular, the cohesion between Wei Xiao and the others needed more
constant honing.
When it was almost time to sleep, Lu Feng got up and said, “Rest early.
There’s still free matching tomorrow.”
The four little ones all sat up straight, “Goodnight, captain!”
Lu Feng: “Goodnight.”
He left first.
Ning Zhehan whispered, “The captain’s biological clock is really

healthy…”
It really wasn’t considered late for an e-sports player to go to bed at 1AM.
The Close worshipper came online, and Wei Xiao said, “We can’t catch up
with the captain even though he’s not addicted to training. If he was the
same as us, then we’d… Oh, the entire league won’t be left with any way to
live.”

Little Ning showed a lot of potential for accompanying Wei Xiao for
crosstalk, “That makes sense.”
Old Yue almost choked on his potato chip!
After Lu Feng left, they went to double queue.
Wei Xiao refused to take the vegetable with him. As of now, his tacit
understanding with Brother Vegetable was very stable, and they didn’t need
to improve it further. So, he focused on Ning Zhehan instead.
In 5v5 games, the mid-jungler linkage was a very key concept.
In the distance was EVE’s immortal mid-laner Xie He. The cooperation
between him and his captain could stir up a frenzied battle in their
opponent’s jungle zone.
Nearby, there was also RR’s Moonlit and Money. These two had been able
to make EVE unwilling to let them go, and would also be strong rivals after
they returned home.
Ning Zhehan’s personal level was very outstanding. What he lacked was the
experience, honing, and cooperation with his teammates.
As the jungler who led the rhythm of the game, Wei Xiao needed to develop
good tacit understanding with him.
Bai Cai and Yue Wenle were old partners. They’d worked together for a
season, and they’d felt that they had enough tacit understanding between
them. However, in today’s training match, they’d been regarded as the
breakthrough point. At this time, they were also upset and eager to find
their game sense.
They double queued until three in the morning.
Bai Cai: “It’s about time to sleep. The free matching during the day won’t
wait for us.”
Ning Zhehan and Wei Xiao had also just finished a game, “Okay, let’s
disperse.”
Little Ning and Yue Wenle got up, stretched, and left to return to their room
together. Bai Cai left one step behind, but noticed Wei Xiao, “You’re not
going to sleep?”
Wei Xiao yawned, “Soon.”
Bai Cai was alert, “Don’t stay up late, there’s still tough battles to be had
during the day.”
Wei Xiao waved his hand, “Got it.”
Bai Cai didn’t worry about him anymore and went back to his room to wash
up and sleep.
The training room emptied out. Wei Xiao logged out of the game and
opened up the video recording from yesterday.
Chen Feng had already done a review of the game with them.
It was a 40 minute game, but the replay review had lasted for an hour and a
half. It wasn’t considered long, but all the points that should’ve been said
had been mentioned.
Wei Xiao curled up in the e-sports chair and used the mouse to look over
the match again bit by bit.
Close killed Marshal.
Close killed Gary.
Close killed MO.
……
10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 42 minutes…

The final team fight had lasted for longer than he’d thought.
VIVI killed Yue Wenle.
He killed VIVI.
Gary killed Bai Cai.
Close killed Gary.
He and Yuan Ze took each other down.
Only Close was left alive.
In the instant when the resurrection crystal exploded, the berserker warrior
who stood alone in the canyon was like a war god of old, standing in the
fierce battlefield with the ruins of a city behind him…
To exist after the death of one’s country, tragic and helpless.
Wei Xiao pressed on the pause button and looked steadily at this scene.
The living Close.
The standing Close.
The Close who was on his own.
His heart churned, and the remorse that had been forced down surged up
again.
He’d said that he wouldn’t leave him on his own, said that he wouldn’t drag
him down, said that he’d be a worthy teammate, but…
Wei Xiao stared at the screen, and the scene that appeared in his mind was
of Close standing alone in FTW’s main hall and watching as his teammates
went away.
The 18 year old captain.

The captain who carried everything on his young shoulders.
The captain who was softer than anyone else beneath his cold and hard
appearance.
He knew what it was like to be left behind, the feeling of having to hold on
and being unable to fall, the fear that once he collapsed, he’d be left with
nothing left.
So, he felt heartache for Close.
The more he understood, the more heartache he felt.
The more heartache he felt, the more unwilling he was to see him suffer
even the smallest amount of grievance.
Even if he knew that he’d already done his best in this game.
But, he still didn’t want to leave Close on his own.
Close was so good, so why was he left behind?
There was a ‘squeak’.
The door to the training room opened, startling Wei Xiao. He closed the
video.
Lu Feng stood outside the door in black pajamas. His collar was open, and a
large expanse of his chest was revealed beneath his long neck, appearing
colder and paler than usual against the dark cloth.
“It’s five o’clock.” Lu Feng frowned, making his usual distant aura go up
another level and giving off the feeling that ordinary people were expected
to bow their heads and avoid him in passing.
Wei Xiao wasn’t afraid, though. He was just a little surprised, “Captain, you
Lu Feng: “I woke up.”

He’d gone back to wash up, then gone to sleep. When he woke up just now,
he’d found that there was nobody in the bed beside him.
He hadn’t thought that when he pushed open the door to the training room,
he’d see Wei Xiao curled up in the e-sports chair, hugging his knees and
staring at the computer screen.
From Lu Feng’s point of view, he didn’t know what Wei Xiao was looking
at, but he could see Wei Xiao’s manner––
It looked like he was about to cry.
Having gotten used to seeing his fearless demeanor, Lu Feng was caught by
surprise and felt like his heart had been pierced by Wei Xiao’s appearance.
He wasn’t frowning because Wei Xiao was sleeping so late, but because he
was so sad.
“What’s the matter?” Lu Feng came over to look at his computer.
The screen was empty. There was no game interface, nor was there anything
else.
Wei Xiao was too embarrassed to say it––he was the noob one who couldn’t
keep up with the captain. How could he trash talk about that?
“Nothing really.”
Lu Feng looked into his eyes and held it for a long time before asking
gently, “… Missing your grandma?”
The only one who could make Wei Xiao like this was his dead grandmother.
Lu Feng still remembered how fiercely Wei Xiaoxiao had cried when he
saw the things his grandma had left behind.

It was fine when this matter wasn’t brought up, but once it was, he couldn’t
hold it in anymore.
He missed his grandma, but he wasn’t thinking of her just now. However,
Lu Feng had used such a gentle tone when he mentioned his grandma,
making the high walls that were erected in Wei Xiao’s heart collapse in an
instant. Fragile uncertainty crowded out and occupied all his emotions.
Lu Feng was stunned, “Don’t, don’t cry.”
He was incredibly distressed, but he didn’t know how to coax him.
Wei Xiao was definitely the kind of child who wouldn’t cry. He hadn’t
learned how to cry as a child, so he only knew to silently shed tears. It
seemed that he only needed to feel sad on his own and didn’t need anyone
to know.
––Only when a child knew that crying would be useless would they shed
tears to themselves.
Lu Feng pulled him into his arms and pressed his head against his shoulder,
“… Be good, Little Xiao, don’t cry.”
Wei Xiao’s tears flowed even harder: These were the words that his
grandma had written in her diary.
Lu Feng was so full of heartache that he didn’t know what to do, “It’s okay,
in the future, FTW will be your home.”
Wei Xiao shifted slightly, and his warm breath blew against Lu Feng’s ear,
“Captain…”
The nerves along Lu Feng’s back were tense, and he almost pushed him
away.
Wei Xiao’s voice was soft, “Is FTW your home too?”
Lu Feng was stunned for a moment. Half a beat later, he whispered, “Mm.”
Wei Xiao was half a head shorter than him and his chin fell onto his
shoulder, “So, are we a family?”
Lu Feng’s heart suddenly jumped in his chest, “If you want…”
Wei Xiao immediately answered, “I want!”
Lu Feng breathed in lightly, “Then don’t cry anymore. In the future, I’ll be
your family.”
His grandma was irreplaceable, but the reason why Wei Xiao was so sad
must be because he had no home.
He clearly still had parents, but he lived like an orphan.
Sometimes, it was more painful to have a home yet be unable to return, than
to not have a home at all.
Lu Feng understood.
Wei Xiao pillowed his head against his shoulder and laughed a little.
Wei Xiao got up and looked at him, “So, Captain, what should I call you?”
Seeing the familiar smile, Lu Feng’s heart relaxed slightly, “Hm?”
He’d been focused on Wei Xiao and hadn’t paid attention to what he was
saying.
Wei Xiao was thinking very seriously, “Family, right? Isn’t it mom and dad
and brother and sister.”
Lu Feng had a vague guess.
Wei Xiao’s eyes formed crescent moons filled with banter, “You’re a man
and older than me, so the only options are father and elder brother.”
Wei Xiao: “Elder brother?”
Lu Feng: “!”
Wei Xiao frowned, “No way, my father doesn’t deserve to have such a good
son as you.”
Lu Feng: “………………”
Wei Xiao: “Then, it can only be…”
Lu Feng couldn’t continue listening anymore. He turned and walked out, “If
you still don’t go to sleep, I’ll have Tang Chen replace you for the free
matching tomorrow afternoon.”
Wei Xiao was shocked, “There’s still the training match in the evening!”
If Tang Chen played in the free matching tomorrow, then he would be the
one to play in the training match.
Lu Feng: “Tang Chen can play top-lane, I’ll jungle. It’s not a problem.”
Wei Xiao followed behind him, “How can that be okay? Captain, you don’t
like playing jungler!”
Lu Feng sneered, “Playing once in a while feels fresh.”
Wei Xiao was sad and bitter, “What do you mean? Just now, you said that
FTW is my home, and now you don’t want me anymore!”
The great demon king took him back to their room and closed the door
behind them.
Wei Xiao blinked and surrendered, “I was wrong, in the future I’ll be
obedient and go to bed early and get up early. Dad, don’t drive me out of
the house!”
Lu Feng threw the bath towel at him, “Go wash up.”
Wei Xiao caught it, “Okay!”
He went to the bathroom, then stuck his head out again, “Dad~!”
The end note was light and melodious, and not very proper.
He tried to hold on but couldn’t hold back anymore. The great demon king
broke down, “Shut up!”
It was rare that he could play a prank on the captain. Wei Xiao was really
amused and hid in the bathroom to laugh uproariously.
Family, hey.
He and Close were family.
Wei Xiao’s heart felt like it was coated in a layer of honey, so sweet that he
was stuck in a beautiful dream.
Ch73.1 - Wei Xiao: My waist hurts.
20 minutes later, Lu Feng, who’d closed his eyes and dozed off, was
unsurprised to find someone drilling into his arms.
Lu Feng extended his arms to give him a better position.
He’d played so fiercely against L&P during the training match that evening,
then stayed up until five o’clock in the morning. It would be strange if Wei
Xiao didn’t sleepwalk.
He fell asleep immediately after getting into bed, and it didn’t take long for
him to climb into Lu Feng’s bed.
Two big men were crowded into a single bed. Even if the hotel bed was
quite spacious, it was still quite a tight fit.
If he didn’t want to fall out of bed, they’d have to stick close together.
The tip of Lu Feng’s nose was filled with the light scent of Wei Xiao’s
shower gel. It was a light verbena fragrance, like lemon slices soaked in
honey, fresh and sweet.
He opened his eyes slightly to see Wei Xiao’s quiet, sleeping face.
He was a little demon when he was awake, but more like an angel than
anyone else when he was sleeping.
This description that was used for children was inexplicably suitable when
used for Wei Xiao.
Thinking of his ‘dad’ that had sounded as soft as a cat’s paw, the corner of
Lu Feng’s lips curled up.
He leaned close to Wei Xiao, toward his forehead, so lightly that it fell like
the softest of feathers.
Full of restraint as he suppressed the thoughts fermenting in his mind, as

though afraid to wake up the person in his dreams––
Then, kissed him softly.
Lu Feng usually got up between 7:30 and 8:00.
He hugged Wei Xiao and went back to sleep for another hour or two, but his
dreams were too beautiful, and his sleep was too sweet. By the time he
woke up, it was almost 10 o’clock.
Wei Xiao was still in his arms and hadn’t changed position, still pressed
close to him.
Lu Feng had discovered last time that this kid would toss and turn when he
was sleeping alone, and no matter how big the bed was, it wouldn’t be able
to hold him. However, once Wei Xiao was near him, he would sleep
soundly, almost like he was pretending to be asleep, remaining in the same
position stuck close to him.
He wasn’t pretending but really sleeping deeply.
Why was that?
Was it because he was uneasy?
Lu Feng sighed in his heart and gently extracted his numb arm.
Wei Xiao frowned, “Mm….”
Lu Feng didn’t dare to move again and let him sleep on his palm.
He’d always thought that his face was small, but it turned out to be this
small––
Lu Feng thought of his nickname and couldn’t help calling out to him in a
low voice, “Little Xiao.”
Wei Xiao seemed to have heard him in his dreams and rubbed his cheek
into his palm. He spoke dreamily, “Dad…”
In the quiet room, the sound reached Lu Feng’s ears very clearly.
Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, his chest filling up with bitterness.
No matter how irresponsible a father was, no matter how much a child was
neglected and left behind.
What child wouldn’t be eager for love?
Father, mother…
Who wouldn’t want this unique type of affection
The stronger one was, the more vulnerable they were.
The more one had to forcibly support oneself, the more uneasy they were
inside.
Beneath that careless appearance, there was often an extremely sensitive

heart.
Lu Feng maintained this stuff posture until Wei Xiao fell back into a deep
sleep.
By the time he pulled his arm out, it was already numb all the way from his
hand to his shoulder.
Lu Feng endured the discomfort and swung his arm, suffering through the
needle-like prickling sensation.
Many people had already gotten up by half past ten.
Lu Feng didn’t hesitate to go running the way he always did.

The hotel had a gym. Although it wasn’t as comfortable as the one at their
base, the standard equipment was all there, and it was enough for his use.
When he arrived, Lu Feng ran into Kim Sung-hyun, who was covered in
sweat from exercising.
Kim Sung-hyun was a little surprised, “So late?”
Lu Feng couldn’t just say that he’d overslept because he’d been hugging
Wei Xiaoxiao and only said, “I had something to do in the morning.”
Kim Sung-hyun understood that as the head of a club, he had many things
to deal with, “Take it easy. Don’t mess around with your body just because
you’re young.”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Kim Sung-hyun was covered in sweat and was anxious to go back and
shower, “Go for it, I’m leaving.”
Lu Feng didn’t speak much and always minded his own business, but he
still asked a little extra at this time, “Where’s God Ran.”
The corners of Kim Sung-hyun’s mouth instantly tensed up, and he said,
“His old problems have flared up again.”
Lu Feng had guessed it.
Kim Sung-hyun was usually too lazy to exercise. Normally, he would only
go to the gym due to Li Heran’s urging. For him to come to the gym on his
own initiative, it must mean…
Kim Sung-hyun was a little irritable, “The team has a physiotherapist. It’ll
be fine after a few days.”
Lu Feng replied, “Mm.”
Kim Sung-hyun was feeling depressed as he waved his hand and left.
Lu Feng entered the gym and worked up a full sweat.
In Pro’s training room, Kim Sung-hyun looked at Li Heran’s pale face, and
his words were cold even if he felt uncomfortable in his heart, “I told you to
reduce your training, but you didn’t listen.”
Li Heran: “It’s alright.”
Kim Sung-hyun was both distressed and angry, “You’re a support. Why are
you working so hard? You don’t need to kill soldiers, I won’t miss a single
one.”
Li Heran: “Mm.”
Kim Sung-hyun knew how physiotherapy felt. His wrist was already
injured, and after being pulled and pressed during therapy, it was painful
enough to make one’s scalp numb.
His voice grew lower and he dropped to a half crouch in front of Li Heran
to look at him, “Big bro, we agreed that we’d retire together.”
A small smile flowed out on Li Heran’s face, “I remember.”
Kim Sung-hyun’s heart was a jumble of mixed emotions, “There’s still

three years to go.”
Li Heran comforted him, “It’s fine, the doctor also said it’s not a big deal.”
Kim Sung-hyun didn’t want to influence him with his own negative
emotions and nodded, “Don’t go downstairs to eat. I’ll bring something up
for you in a bit.”
Li Heran: “Okay.”
Kim Sung-hyun spoke again just before leaving the room, “I asked for leave
for you during the free matching in the afternoon. Rest well after your
physiotherapy session.”
Li Heran frowned, “Aren’t we going to choose FTW for the training match
this evening?”
If he didn’t participate in the free matching today, he wouldn’t be eligible

for the training match in the evening.
Yesterday’s game between FTW and L&P had filled Kim Sung-hyun with
enthusiasm. At the time, he’d said that they would definitely pick FTW
today. And there was also the new system to consider…
Kim Sung-hyun stood up and spoke slowly, “You don’t have to play. We’ll
still win.”
Li Heran paused for a moment, “If we miss out on today, the next time we
can play against them will be ten days later. If it wasn’t for me…”
Although they could arrange training matches in private, the feeling of

being in a competitive arena was different from playing together in private.
This was something that everyone understood.
Kim Sung-hyun looked at him, “It’s just a training match.”
Li Heran: “But, you…”
Kim Sung-hyun exhaled lightly, “There will be more opportunities to play

together in the future. Focus on your physiotherapy. There will still be
many more opportunities later.”
“Mm.”
Kim Sung-hyun went downstairs to the restaurant, but he had no appetite

even when faced with the sumptuous buffet.
Li Heran’s wrist injury wasn’t serious. Almost everyone who played

professionally had some sort of occupational problem.
Inflammation of the cervical vertebrae, lumbar spine, shoulder tendons and
wrist; high intensity training and difficult operations were doomed to
overtax the body.
Countless players were suffering from this or that injury.
Kim Sung-hyun was absent-minded, and Pro’s jungler Park Guizhi didn’t
say much about it.
Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran had deep ties. They were the doubles
championship winners who had a strong tacit understanding, and they were
also neighbors who grew up together as children, partners who had chosen
to join Glory’s professional e-sports circle together.
Li Heran’s hand injury was something that made everyone in South Korea
distressed.
It had to be known that the strongest ADC in the world wasn’t always Kim
Sung-hyun. It used to be Li Heran.
Now, Pro’s support position was Li Heran.
After waking up, Wei Xiao was full of energy.
It was the so-called ‘raw the first time, cooked the second’. By the third
time he woke up in the captain’s bed, Wei Xiaoxiao was already extremely
calm.
Wasn’t it just sleeping together in the same bed.
They were family. What was there to nitpick about.
When he thought about the word ‘family’, Wei Xiao was happy enough to
burst out into flowers again.
He was Close’s family.
FTW was their home.

He had Close, and he also had FTW…
Wei Xiao rolled himself up in the quilt and rolled round and round on the
bed.
Plop.
The Wei Xiao branded silkworm larva rolled itself onto the ground.
“Ouch…”
Although Wei Xiao was wrapped up in the quilt, it still hurt when he fell
down from the bed.
He kneaded his waist and stood up, chagrined, “Extreme joy begets sorrow.
Grandma really didn’t deceive me.”
Wei Xiao had ‘dirtied’ Lu Feng’s quilt and naturally couldn’t put it back
onto the bed. So, he balled it up and put it on the chair.
He was about to make a phone call and ask the hotel to change the quilt…
“Ding dong”––
The doorbell rang, and Wei Xiao went to open the door.
Old Bai was startled, “Did you just wake up?” Was he going to eat or not!
Wei Xiao rubbed at his waist, “I went to bed too late last night.”
Bai Cai: “Didn’t we disperse at three?”
Wei Xiao was embarrassed to talk about his own moodiness and said, “I had
something else to do after going back to the room…”
Bai Cai: “Three o’clock in the morning… The captain fell asleep way
before that, right.” What else could he have to do!
Wei Xiao stared at him, “Why do you care so much? Laozi slept very well
and won’t drag you guys down in the afternoon!”
Bai Cai noticed that he was kneading his waist and asked curiously,
“What’s wrong with your waist?”
Wei Xiao couldn’t say that he’d hurt himself rolling around on the bed and
spoke vaguely, “Tired.”
Bai Cai: “!”
He asked cautiously, “Tired from last night?”
Brother Cai was stunned, “It happened after three o’clock?”
Wei Xiao answered distractedly, “Yeah.” He needed to call the cleaner

quickly, then go downstairs to eat.
Brother Cai: “About that… are you calling the front desk?”
Wei Xiao had already dialed through. He placed a slender finger against his
lip and made a shush movement.
Bai Cai shut up.
Wei Xiao spoke in fluent English, “Hello, can you please help me change
the quilt… Yes… Okay… Thank you.”
Brother Vegetable’s English was really bad, and he was barely able to make
out a little bit of it, “Changing quilts?”
Wei Xiao pointed to the chair, “It’s dirty.”
Bai Cai’s eyes grew big as he stared, “How-how did it get dirty?”
Wei Xiao hurried off to wash his face and brush his teeth, “It’s just dirty,
why are you concerning yourself with how it got dirty!”
Bai Cai’s face was dazed. He looked at the messy sheets, then looked at the
balled up quilt…
A baby pram whizzed by.
Sleeping late, tired, kneading his waist, dirty quilt…
To hell with the baby pram, this was an obviously dirty, dirty, dirty big
train!!!
Brother Vegetable was dead. He died from the things his own brain had
made up.
When they went to eat, Wei Xiao looked around everywhere, “Where’s the
captain?”
Chen Feng: “He woke up late and has something to do. He’ll go directly to
the training room.”
Wei Xiao was anxious, “What about his food?”
Chen Feng paused for a moment, “It’s been sent over.”
Wei Xiao was very thoughtful, “Don’t touch this plate of celery, you guys.
I’ll send it over to him.”
The corner of Chen Feng’s lips twitched, “No need. He’s already eaten.”
In fact, he hadn’t eaten yet, but Coach Chen couldn’t bear to see a certain
person have to work overtime to deal with work matters and still have to eat
this ‘bitterness’.
Wei Xiao sighed, “It’s all my fault that he got up late.”
Brother Vegetable: “……” He was going to stab his knife and fork into the
floor!
Ch73.2 - God Kim had a significant
hobby
When they went back to their training room after eating, they ran into
L&P’s mid-laner VIVI.
This big youth with blonde hair smiled brightly at them as he waved in
greeting.
Wei Xiao greeted him in return and added, “Let’s make an appointment
when you guys have time.”
VIVI smiled but didn’t agree or reject him, “Work hard, you guys.”
Wei Xiao tried to urge him, “Praise our FTW in front of your coaching team
a few more times so that they’ll definitely arrange for a training match.”
VIVI was equally lively, “You guys should hurry and make it into the
global competition. When the time comes, our coaching team will call you
every day.”
Wei Xiao was quite reserved, “When the time comes, we’ll be very busy,
and your L&P will have to get in line.”
VIVI knew a few phrases of Chinese, “So, does that mean we should…
Take the initiative and gain the upper hand?”
Wei Xiao was surprised, “Marshal actually knows how to teach people to
speak Chinese properly?”
VIVI was regretful, “I’m self-taught.”

Fine, then. Just looking at God Kim and God G was enough to know that
Old Dog Yuan wasn’t a human being!
During the free matching in the afternoon, Wei Xiao and Ning Zhehan
double queued together while Old Bai and Yue Wenle double queued
together.
After playing together for a few hours last night, Wei Xiao and Ning
Zhehan had started building some tacit understanding.
Wei Xiao said, “Our Little Ning is really more suited to playing the assassin
mage.”
Ning Zhehan was more self-effacing, “It depends on the line-up, it depends
on the line-up. I don’t mind playing anything.”
Wei Xiao: “Be more confident. Your assassin mages are very fierce. if you
were any fiercer, I’d want to do you!”
It was right at this moment that Lu Feng pushed the door open.
Wei Xiao was instantly distracted, “Captain, did you eat?”
Lu Feng glanced at Ning Zhehan, and Ning Zhehan immediately sat up

straight. His hand even trembled slightly, “Brother Cai, let’s double queue
together!”
Bai Cai: “Me and Old Yue have already queued into a game.”
Ning Zhehan’s desire for survival burst out, “I’ll single queue then!”
Wei Xiao looked at him, “What are you thinking? We should continue
cultivating our tacit understanding.”
Little Ning wanted to cry…
Lu Feng retrieved his gaze and replied to Wei Xiao, “I ate.”

Wei Xiao’s eyes and heart were filled with the captain. He asked in concern,
“Did you eat celery?”
Chen Feng cleared his throat and said, “He did.”
Wei Xiao: “Coach, how do you know this?”
Like hell Chen Feng knew. He was just trying to save the situation. “I know
much more than you think. For example, your captain doesn’t only like
celery…”
Even if Lu Feng could bear with it, he couldn’t bear it any longer.
Wei Xiao was interested, “What else does the captain like to eat?”
As a family, it was too hard to explain if he didn’t understand the other

party’s tastes. He needed to remember it properly.
Chen Feng hesitated, then said, “Beef.”
Wei Xiao: “Who doesn’t like beef?”
Chen Feng: “Saltwater fish.”
Wei Xiao: “Who doesn’t like to eat saltwater fish?”
Bai Cai raised his hand, “I don’t.”
The well-known double standard Wei Xiaoxiao came online, “Who cares
about what you like to eat.”
Wei Xiao continued to ask, “What else? What else does the captain like to
eat?”
Chen Feng thought hard, “Potatoes?”

In fact, except for celery, coriander, and fennel, Close wasn’t picky about
food.
Wei Xiao was amused, “I like to eat all of those things.”
Lu Feng had noticed before that Wei Xiao did indeed prefer those things
when they ate.
Wei Xiao was regretful, “Unfortunately, I don’t like celery. Other than that,
though, I’m the same as the captain.”
A family with the same tastes was like a match made in heaven.
Chen Feng’s mouth twitched: In fact, your captain doesn’t like it either.
Brother Cai couldn’t help interrupting, “If you don’t like eating it, then why
did you give it to the captain!”
Wei Xiao: “At the time, there was only celery left on the plate so I didn’t
have a choice. Fortunately, the captain likes celery.”
Wei Xiao comforted Lu Feng, “It’s okay. In the future, our family… Eh,
well FTW can make stir-fried celery and beef. I’ll eat the beef, and the
captain can eat the celery.”
He linked at Lu Feng and stopped just short of asking to his face, “Isn’t that
right, daddy~”
They probably wouldn’t be able to get past this thing with the celery.
Lu Feng pressed down on his head lightly, “Go score points.”
At 6PM, the day’s point ranking was announced.
1st place: Pro.

2nd place: L&P.
3rd place: Tomorrow.
Ever since yesterday’s regulation kicked in, free matching instantly grew
fiercer. Many of the teams that had been at the bottom started to score
points like crazy in order to obtain the qualifications to compete for the
prize pool on the last day.
FTW was in fourth place, and their results were very good.
Wei Xiao was really high from playing. As expected, even free matching
became more interesting after everyone started to get serious.
Seeing that Pro was in 1st place, Bai Cai was very surprised, “Li Heran
asked for leave today. The substitute player was really fierce.”
Wei Xiao only learned about this fact now, “God Ran asked for leave?”
Bai Cai sighed, “I heard that he doesn’t feel good today and will be sitting
on the bench for the next few days.”
Wei Xiao had heard some rumors about this, “Is his wrist still a problem?”
As the Gossip Emperor, Bai Cai had a lot of information he shouldn’t have.
“I read the report that Pro gave out before. It’s not serious, but they’re
worried he’ll tire out since the 15 days of winter training is so intense.”
Even though the actual scheduled activities weren’t significant, and there
were only games in the afternoon and the evening, many strong teams had
many other training matches to complete.
Originally, they could play them during the afternoon or at night, but now it
had all been crammed into the evening. FTW going to bed at three o’clock
was already considered early.
Wei Xiao sighed, “Since God Ran isn’t there, Pro probably won’t pick us
today, right?”
He still wanted to play against Pro when they were in their best state.
Yesterday’s game had been so enjoyable that he couldn’t accept today’s
game being any worse.
Chen Feng picked up the conversation, “Pro will definitely pick us.”
Wei Xiao was stunned, “Why? If they pick us today, the next time we fight
will be during the prize pool competition.”
Li Heran wasn’t in a good state, but he would definitely play in the next few
days. Wouldn’t it be more fun if they played together then?
Chen Feng handed him a document, “This is the complete version of the
rules that was just issued by the competition committee.”
It really hadn’t been easy for the organizers to patch up bugs. After adding
so many restrictions, they then added yet another one.
Wei Xiao read it out loud, “In the points competition, each team can only
play four times?”
F*ck!
They were up against 3U on the first day, and then they picked Scummy
Zhou on the second day, then played against L&P on the third day. If
anyone picked them again today, didn’t that mean that they couldn’t be
picked again for the next five days?
Chen Feng said, “We’re ranked fourth. L&P can’t pick us anymore, but if
Pro doesn’t choose us, Tomorrow will definitely go for it.”
In that case, they would have no chance of playing against Pro at all.
Wei Xiao was angry, “What are the organizers doing!”
Chen Feng was very calm, “The games are broadcast live. What will people
think if they’re watching FTW every day?”
Wei Xiao: “………………”

He didn’t want to talk anymore. He was so filled with anger he was blowing
up like a pufferfish!
Bai Cai comforted him, “Look, 3U has played three times already too.”
It was okay if he hadn’t mentioned it, but once it was brought up, Wei Xiao
became even more angry, “Old Sleep and Pro fought twice, and it was a Pro
with Li Heran!”
3U had been lucky. The reason why Pro had been able to ask them to play
yesterday was because the competition committee had been reasonable and
decreed that any training matches made before the rule change didn’t count.
Unfortunately, today’s competition committee was completely inhuman,

and the rule of fighting four times in the points competition included
previous matches!
Wei Xiao was full of heartache, “I can see it clearly. The organizers are
deliberately targeting us!”
The person in charge of organizing the training camp sneezed: Hey, who
was scolding him? It certainly couldn’t be someone from the China
competition zone. They’d been very diligent and worked hard in order to
protect them!
Chen Feng knocked on his desk and had him calm down, “Don’t take it
lightly.”
Wei Xiao had stopped moving. He’d turned into a paralyzed salted fish.
Chen Feng looked at him, “Did you think that Pro is no good without Li
Heran?”
Wei Xiaoxiao pouted; he wanted to play against the doubles champions.
Chen Feng sneered, “You may not know this, but Kim Sung-hyun will only
be fiercer without Li Heran.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes brightened slightly.

As a substitute for the Team of Gods, Tang Chen also had something to add,
“Yeah, If Old Li isn’t there, you’ll be able to see Kim Sung-hyun play the
way he did in FTW.”
Wei Xiao sat up straight, “Seriously?”
Chen Feng rolled his eyes, “Why would I lie to you? Let me tell you, if Li
Heran isn’t there, Kim Sung-hyun will show his true colors.”
Wei Xiao had heard something about it, “About that… his true colors of
abusing junglers?”
Chen Feng stressed, “It’s abusing thieves.”
The world’s number one marksman, God Kim, had a significant hobby.
He loved abusing the enemy jungler in 5v5 games.
As everyone knew, marksmen were most afraid of junglers. This was

especially the case for marksmen in 5v5 games. As the major DPS dealer in
the later stages, most of them had a limited range of movement and were
super squishy. When they saw the enemy’s jungler coming for them, they
all wanted to call out for their daddy!
All thieves were assassin-type talents. Regardless of whether it was the

shadow thief, berserker thief, immortal thief… they were all a marksman’s
nightmare.
When they came close, a marksman would perform a health bar vanishing
technique for the audience to see right then and there.
It had the word ‘TRAGIC’ written all over it in capital letters!
However, it was different for Kim Sung-hyun. His marksman could beat up
the enemy jungler until they called out for their daddy.
This was a bad habit that had been developed in FTW.

Yan Jiang’s support was given to the whole FTW. If the marksman wanted
to experience the warmth of a support daddy?
Dream on!
Kim Sung-hyun, who had to develop on his own alongside a savage jungler
and mid-laner, had to attack fiercely in order to seize anything for himself.
Late game?
Like hell would there be a late game.
If he didn’t rush up to snatch up resources and kills, his teammates would

all leave him ten blocks behind.
They were all headstrong characters. Kim Sung-hyun had to come up with
his own playstyle.
Pressuring the other side’s marksman wasn’t a big deal. Pressuring the other
side’s jungler was the real Daddy Kim.
Ch74.1 - I’m really like a little
darling held in the palms of your
hands
Wei Xiao was passionate again, “So that’s how it is!”
Bai Cai saw his appearance and had a headache: Don’t you feel
embarrassed calling others trembling masochists? You’re the most
masochistic one here!
Normal people would be happy when they heard that their opponents were
terrible. Wei Xiao was different; he would only be happy when he heard
that his opponents were crazy.
You have an illness that should be treated, Wei Xiaoxiao!
After eating in the afternoon, the FTW group went to the banquet hall.
They didn’t arrive early, and there were already people sitting next to their
usual seats.
Chen Feng glanced at their team uniform and said, “Let’s change where we
sit.”
The silver-gray L&P was as eye-catching as could be. Why were these
people sitting there? Were they here to find fault with them even after
winning the game? ––That didn’t seem right––Shouldn’t they only be
coming here to find fault with them if they’d lost?
There was no medicine that could cure Wei Xiao’s damned desire to win,
“No way!”
Wei Xiao explained to their coach, “If we change seats, won’t we be telling
everyone that we’re scared?”
Chen Feng wanted to say: No, they won’t. You’re overthinking it!
Wei Xiao added, “L&P’s people are very nice. I’m saying that the people
there are nice; the animals don’t count.”
Bai Cai looked at handsome and cool Yuan Ze with the black stud earrings
and suddenly felt a bit of ‘common hatred against the enemy’. Not only was
he handsome, he still had to put on a cool act, it was too much!
The small thoughts in Wei Xiao’s heart went around in a very big circle, “If
we can establish a good relationship with L&P, then training matches will
be easy to arrange when we return home.”
This point poked at Chen Feng. Coach Chen waved his hand, “Go!”
Wei Xiao was happy. He went to say to Lu Feng, “Captain, I’ll sit next to
Old Bandit Yuan so that he can’t bully you.”
Lu Feng: “No need.”
Wei Xiao: “Eh?”
Lu Feng: “You’re the one he wants to bully.”
Wei Xiao: “I’m not scared of him.”
He was full of confidence when it came to aggravating others!
Lu Feng: “I’m not willing.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
He was dazed for a while, then quickly caught up, “Captain, don’t worry. I
won’t go to L&P. I was born an FTW person, and when I’m dead, I’ll…”
Lu Feng stopped walking to look at him, “I don’t want you to only talk to
him and ignore me.”
The last three words were spoken very lightly, so quietly that Wei Xiao was
the only one who could hear them.
Wei Xiao’s heart fluttered and jumped up to block his throat, making him
stumble over his words, “I…”
Lu Feng had already gone over to sit down.
Wei Xiao came back to his senses, “F*ck!”
He felt like he’d just been electrocuted and really wished he could rush over
to Lu Feng and say in front of everyone all over the world: I’ll only talk to
you, I’ll only talk to you in this lifetime!
It was too deadly.
The captain who ate flying vinegar was really killing him!
So, after both sides were seated, Lu Feng had Yuan Ze to his left and Wei
Xiao to his right, firmly separating the two of them.
Yuan Ze had really never expected that after he’d led his entire team to
change seats, he’d end up sitting next to a ten thousand year iceberg.
Who wanted to be close to Little Close!
He would rather sit close to the water cooler than next to a refrigerator!
Lu Feng greeted him expressionlessly.
It was too late to change seats now, but he’d only wanted to tease little
children, did Close really need to watch him so closely?!
In order to ‘coax’ his captain, not only did Wei Xiao not speak with Yuan
Ze, he didn’t even look at Old Dog Yuan.
During the entire process, he fluttered around his captain, attentive and
caring.
Yuan Ze looked at him a few times. Wei Xiao noticed it, but he didn’t even
let Yuan Ze hear what he was saying to Lu Feng. He leaned in close to Lu
Feng’s ears to speak in a whisper.
Coach Chen Feng who was sitting in the back row could only rub his
forehead: Are you regretting it? Captain Lu, are you regretting it or not!
You could tease anyone, yet you chose to tease a little beast.
Weren’t you still the one who ended up suffering!
Although Li Heran wouldn’t be playing, he still came to the hall.
He had his uniform jacket draped over his shoulders, and his short sleeves
couldn’t cover up the gauze on his wrist.
Many people saw it, but none of their gazes lingered.
They were all professional players. They understood.
The competitive arena was both romantic and cruel.
They would put in all their effort and burn themselves hard for a few years,
blooming more brilliantly than fireworks. It was incomparably romantic.
At the same time, it was extremely cruel. It was like stubborn moths drawn
to a fire, the solemn and stirring scene of thousands of troops attempting to
cross a single plank bridge. It was very likely that they might give it their
all just to end up with nothing in the very end.
It was precisely because of this cruelty that the romance became more
romantic, and the glory ever more brilliant.
There wasn’t any suspense; Pro chose FTW after the competition
committee announced the new rules once again.
When the two teams came up onto the stage, they saw a very different Kim
Sung-hyun.
Compared with the other members of the Team of Gods, Kim Sung-hyun,
who’d left to return home, had always given everyone a relatively gentle
impression.
He had a noble and cold appearance that seemed carved from jade,
especially the black mole that made his delicate features appear more
arrogant.
However, anyone who was a little familiar with him knew: this Kaolin
flower appearance was just the surface. Inside, he was the Pro mascot.
After returning from China, Kim Sung-hyun, who had a steadfast heart, had
restrained the perversity that prevailed in FTW.
Additionally, during the breaking in period for Pro’s line up, he rarely used
those fierce and aggressive talent specs. His personal temperament was
more in line with a squishy marksman––
Delicate everywhere and in urgent need of protection.
However, Li Heran was sitting off-stage today, and his entire mental
outlook was completely different.
In the live broadcast studio, old FTW fans were all saying, “Oh my, it’s
definitely our Daddy Hyun!”
“I’m a little distressed for Quiet. Daddy Hyun’s saga of teaching people
their place will have another page filled with ink.”
“So sad. The God Kim with God Ran is the real God Kim.”
“Well yeah, but how strong was Kim Sung-hyun when he was in FTW? His
solo skills could rank in the top three. He turned into a really shit player
after returning to Korea.”
“Is Pro bad? They were the world’s second runner-up and champion of the
doubles last year. You’re saying they’re shit?”
“If they have the ability, then win the team championship. Has Kim Sung-
hyun ever won the team championship after returning home?!”
The scrolling comments were fiercely noisy. Kim Sung-hyun had been a
very popular figure in the China competition zone.
He was the only foreign player in the Team of Gods, and for many ignorant
people, he was also the chief culprit that led to the disbanding of the Team
of Gods.
When Kim Sung-hyun had just returned to South Korea, the Chinese fans
had cursed him bloody.
Later, the Chinese fans let him off. However, because of Pro’s poor
performance, Kim Sung-hyun was then scolded by fans in South Korea.
Two years ago, Li Heran, the player who was once the strongest marksman,
switched to playing support and pushed Kim Sung-hyun to the top of the
storm.
Not just the South Korean competition zone, even Li Heran fans from
around the world had wanted to tie a rocket to his body and send him away
to outer space!
The clamor gradually died down after Pro began to get results.
Although they’d failed to win the world championships, Pro had won two
domestic championships and the world doubles championship for the past
two years. For better or worse, it reduced the volume of the voices of the
people who were scolding him.
These were all old things that came out into the open once again because Li
Heran wasn’t playing and Kim Sung-hyun was now playing against his old
team.
The scrolling comments were noisy and rowdy. Meanwhile, the ten people
on the stage were settling into their places and debugging their equipment.
Wei Xiao: “Old Yue, be more careful. God Kim looks really fierce.”
Yue Wenle was very serious, “Understood.”
They were all newcomers. Back when the Team of Gods charged
everywhere under a glorious banner, they were all still secretly watching the
game from home.
Which ADC didn’t set Kim Sung-hyun as their goal?
It was the same for Yue Wenle.
Chen Feng admonished them, “Bai Cai, go with Wei Xiao. In this game,
they’ll definitely invade the jungle zone like crazy.”
As old teammates, Chen Feng knew Kim Sung-hyun very well.
Wei Xiao seized this opportunity to act coquettish, “Captain, help me keep
an eye on the upper jungle~”
Lu Feng: “… Okay.”
Bai Cai’s ears hurt, “Can you talk properly or not.”
Wei Xiao’s attitude towards him was like howling winds and driving rains,
“I’m not talking to you. Don’t place so much importance on yourself.”
Do you f*cking know about the thing called Mic Explosion King or not?!
As soon as your team chat conversations are leaked out, the Seclusion CP
will be on fire all over the world!
Bai Cai’s kindness was treated like trash. He was too lazy to deal with this
doggy thing any further!
The screen was already showing the BP link.
Chen Feng considered it for a long time and ultimately chose not to target
Kim Sung-hyun.
Kim Sung-hyun’s hero pool was too deep, and Pro had many suitable line-
ups. Instead of going up against him directly, it was better to detour around
him.
What was Pro’s weakness?
The substitute support player?
Yes and no.
The substitute support player was certainly not as good as Li Heran,

regardless of whether it was in terms of his understanding of the talents or
his level of cooperation with Kim Sung-hyun. Both were a little worse than
Li Heran.
It would be wasteful to give a precious ban position just to counter this

support player.
How exactly should he choose?
Chen Feng’s hesitation slowed down the BP process.
Lu Feng spoke up, “Try to get a line-up that suits us.”
The tip of Chen Feng’s pen dipped for a moment and he woke up from his
thoughts, “Okay!”
When faced with a strong team, the BP segment burned a lot of brain cells.
It was just like playing chess. If the opponent’s chess moves were too wide
and had too many strategies, it was easy to get lost. Trying to look ahead
and predict the future would only result in confusion.
In this kind of situation, he should jump out of that pattern of thinking.

Since their opponent could do anything, then it was better to focus on
themselves.
They could take the talents that FTW members were good at and try their
best to grab the strongest line-up from their opponents. They would use
their own familiarity to face the unlimited changes. This was one way to
success!
After a fierce confrontation, the line-up for both sides was locked in.
FTW: Divine warrior, hidden thief, ice mage, light priest, storm hunter.
Pro: Devil warrior, power thief, sword mage, holy priest, ghost hunter.
The commentator’s voice held a bit of excitement, “It’s been a long time
since I’ve seen Kim Sung-hyun’s ghost hunter!”
“Kim Sung-hyun’s ghost hunter would kill gods when it met gods, and kill
buddhas when it met buddhas when it was in FTW. Pro must definitely have
built on this too.”
“Park Guizhi has taken the power thief. It looks like he’ll be a blue collar
jungler.”
Blue collar junglers used a very different jungler style from Wei Xiao, Gary,
and even Asleep.
For Wei Xiao, Gary, and Sleep God, their junglers were the cores of their
teams who snatched up resources across the map like crazy, killing
wherever they went and controlling the rhythm of the game.
To put it another way, the entire team either revolved around them, or was
at least driven by their actions.
Blue collar junglers were different. They were quiet, steady, and solid. Most
of their resources were given out to other members of the team. They were
toolmen who ate grass and made milk in a team.
This kind of team usually had a very major core.
For example, Pro’s Kim Sung-hyun and China TPT’s Eurostar were both
talented marksmen who sucked up the farm from across the entire map in
order to deal out shocking DPS.
The goal of a blue collar jungler was to live, remain steady, and hold on.
When the marksman was developed, the entire map would have to kneel
down and call ‘daddy’.
“Eh, Close took the divine warrior.”
“The divine warrior tends towards support. How could my great demon
king use something like this QAQ!”
“Isn’t the hidden thief and divine warrior a good combo? What are you
acting up for.”
“Feeling sad…”
“Sure enough, he can’t do whatever he wants anymore after going to the

top-lane.”
“Haha, what do you mean, do whatever he wants? He uses a thief every

time, and every time he loses like a dog. Is that what you mean by doing
whatever he wants?”
“What are you hinting at? Just get lost if you don’t want to watch the
game!”
Breaking out into a fight over a small disagreement was a regular thing in
the scrolling comments.
FTW’s line-up this time was a bit risky.

Ning Zhehan’s ice mage was mainly focused on control, and Yue Wenle’s
storm hunter was a stopgap measure aimed at Kim Sung-hyun. How things
would develop was a mystery.
Lu Feng had taken the divine warrior in order to take the initiative to start
group fights for the whole team, but this move also limited Close’s ability.
The entire team’s DPS would rely on Wei Xiao’s hidden thief.
The hidden thief could shoulder this heavy responsibility; his ultimate move
had an unlimited refresh mechanism. Once his dart landed on an enemy, as
long as his operations were amazing enough, he would be able to shuttle
continuously through the crowd and deal out explosive damage.
Of course, the premise for this was that the hidden thief needed to develop.
If it was crushed to death from the start, attempting to shuttle amongst the
crowd would be fatal.
FTW clearly knew that Kim Sung-hyun would target Wei Xiao, yet they
still took the hidden thief.
It was unknown if it was because they trusted Wei Xiao too much, or if it
was because they’d already given up on saving the situation.
At the start of the game, the hidden thief had to start with obtaining the blue
(mana) buff, as all of its skills used up mana. Once its mana pool emptied
out, it wouldn’t be able to use a single skill and would no longer be a
hidden thief, but a dead thief.
Additionally, the blue buff also had the effect of reducing cooldown time. It
was extremely important for the hidden thief who relied on its skills.
For the sake of this blue daddy, Lu Feng and Bai Cai all remained on the
river. One divine warrior and one light priest acted like a solid wall to
protect the hidden thief.
Wei Xiao was delighted, “I’m really like a little darling held in the palms of
your hands.”
Bai Cai: “………………………………”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Everyone else in FTW: “………………………………”
It was an illusion, right? Their ears were malfunctioning, right?!
xiin: one day late because… scheduling fail. i somehow forgot yesterday
was saturday??? also, Wei Xiao. how do you come up with this stuff??
Ch74.2 - Proud Flower Kim is
going to cry.
The little darling, ah, no, the little beast steadily took down the blue daddy.
Wei Xiao was somewhat puzzled, “Why didn’t Pro come down to take a
look?”
This was very unusual. Normally, when a team saw that there was a hidden
thief on the other side, they would always charge over like a hungry wolf
attacking a tiger, rushing up to tear or chop. They’d either try to kill the
hidden thief or steal the blue buff. In short, he and his blue daddy should
have never been allowed to fall in love with each other like this.
Bai Cai carefully provided insight as he said, “They probably guessed that
the captain would protect you.”
Wei Xiao grew proud again, “That makes them smart. They know that the
captain cares about me.”
Bai Cai: “……” I f*cking shouldn’t have just tried to talk to you!
Wei Xiao successfully cleared out the top jungle zone and moved to the
bottom jungle zone.
The top jungle zone was in Lu Feng’s range, while the bottom jungle was
beyond Lu Feng’s reach.
Lu Feng: “Be careful.”
Wei Xiao had constantly kept an eye on the minimap, “Got it.”
The hidden thief was quite weak before it hit level 6. A hidden thief who
couldn’t shuttle around and hide in a crowd of people was nothing more
than a vegetable stalk.
He’d just finished killing a stone soldier on the bottom lane when Wei Xiao
felt a chill down his back, “Old Bai!”
He trusted his instincts fully and anxiously called out for Brother Cai to
provide vision.
Bai Cai: “F*ck!”
There was nobody in Pro’s bottom jungle zone, and all the jungle creeps
were still there. That meant…
Wei Xiao: “I f*cking…”
He had already begun to retreat cautiously, but the ghost hunter who flew
over like a shadow had already hit him.
The ghost hunter was a talent spec that wasn’t often used nowadays because
it wasn’t very suited for team fights.
It was even more focused on single attacks than the shadow thief, and was
rarely seen in the 5v5 arena.
However, not only had Kim Sung-hyun had picked it, he was extremely
overbearing with it.
The ghost hunter was a rare talent that had dual forms.
Where others had one skill, he had two; when others had two skills, he had
four; when others had three, he had six…
Right now, Wei Xiao only had two skills, while the ghost hunter already
had four.
The ghost hunter’s ghost state’s first skill combined with the second skill
was a strong control skill followed by armor breaking, while the human
state’s first and second skills dealt explosive DPS.
Wei Xiao, this squishy hidden thief, evaporated on the spot in seconds.
System announcement: Pro.Succ killed FTW.Quiet!
Kim Sung-hyun had killed Wei Xiao on his own while in FTW’s bottom
jungle zone!
The audience could see everything from god’s perspective and were much
clearer about the situation than FTW was.
“Amazing!”
“Who the hell can hide from this?!”
“He didn’t even have vision. How did Kim Sung-hyun manage to grasp the
right timing?”
“FTW’s marksman really can’t be blamed for this. Who can react to this?!”
Reasonably speaking, if Kim Sung-hyun disappeared, then Yue Wenle

should send out a signal so that Wei Xiao would know to be careful.
However, Kim Sung-hyun had disappeared too quickly. He seemed to have

figured out that Wei Xiao had already finished clearing the upper jungle and
had come down to the bottom jungle. He switched to ghost form, and while
Yue Wenle thought that he’d just gone to kill a jungle creep near his own
tower, he’d made use of the ghost state’s high mobility to brazenly charge
into FTW’s bottom jungle zone.
The ghost hunter disappeared for a brief moment, then landed strong
control and DPS, taking away Wei Xiao’s life with a series of moves!
It was quick and direct and not polite at all.
Daddy Hyun’s attack really lived up to his reputation.
Why hadn’t Pro gone into the top jungle zone to mess with Wei Xiao? Why
had they let Wei Xiao take the blue daddy? It was because they were
waiting for him in the bottom jungle.
So what if he took the blue buff?
Once he was killed, it would just become a gift for the other side!
Wei Xiao sucked in a breath, “Really cruel.”
Lu Feng reminded him, “Don’t act alone.”
Wei Xiao understood instantly, “He’s still in the bottom jungle area?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao was startled, “Does he really look down on me that much!”
Yue Wenle spoke up, “I’ll come support you.”
Wei Xiao felt that it wasn’t quite right, “Don’t. That will affect your own
development.”
Yue Wenle: “In that case, I’ll press his lane soldiers.”
If the lane soldiers were pushed towards Pro’s defense tower, then Kim
Sung-hyun would definitely come back to guard the tower and wouldn’t be
able to target Wei Xiao.
There was no problem with this strategy, but…
Nobody said it, but everyone understood that Yue Wenle couldn’t hold Kim
Sung-hyun down. This was the root of why Kim Sung-hyun dared to be so
unscrupulous.
Wei Xiao said, “Don’t worry about me. Focus on developing. I’ll be
careful.”
Bai Cai: “I’ll go with you.”

As a jungler, Wei Xiao now had to be very cautious even in his own jungle
zone. It was a novel experience.
Just now, not only had Kim Sung-hyun killed him, he’d also stolen his three
little jungle creeps, adding on another layer of pressure despite not even
being there.
Wei Xiao had just finished clearing the jungle creeps when Yue Wenle
called out anxiously, “The ghost hunter isn’t in the lane!”
Wei Xiao’s nerves tensed up, and he was very cautious with his positioning.
He felt that this time, he could smear the ghost hunter into the ground no
matter what.
Just now, he’d been caught off guard. This time, he had to get even.
Five seconds, ten seconds, fifteen seconds…
Wei Xiao suddenly said, “The small dragon!”
Bai Cai was stunned and then realized, “Damn it, we fell for it.”
Wei Xiao sped up stealthily and went through his own jungle zone in the
blink of an eye, making his way to the dragon pit.
They were really too capable at messing around.
Kim Sung-hyun had disappeared, but it wasn’t for the sake of ganking him.
They’d gone to take down the small dragon.
In the early stages, the small dragon was very important. Once they were
able to take it down, the Pro’s entire team’s experience and farming ability
would go up, strengthening up all three of their lanes.
Originally, Ning Zhehan was already having difficulty holding up in the

mid-lane. If the other side’s mid-laner leveled up and gave him more
pressure, then… it would be like a blood avalanche level collapse!
Wei Xiao had no time to be concerned about Bai Cai’s moving speed and
rushed into the dragon pit first.
Because this side wasn’t in FTW’s territory, Bai Cai didn’t dare to set down
his vision here. Only when the hero was in the vicinity would he be able to
see the situation clearly.
Sure enough…
Pro’s jungler and Kim Sung-hyun were fighting the dragon.
The ancient creature whose teeth and claws were flying everywhere only
had a tenth of its health left.
Once Kim Sung-hyun took it down, FTW wouldn’t be able to play at all!
Once this snowball started rolling, they wouldn’t be able to find the sky
again!
Wei Xaio realized that he’d still been taking the game lightly. Li Heran
wasn’t there, so he’d always felt that Pro would be a little worse off. The
coach’s words had sparked his interest, but he’d still underestimated Kim
Sung-hyun.
Which jungler would think that they could be suppressed by a marksman?
Until they met Kim Sung-hyun.
The hidden thief’s stealth had a time limit. Especially when they were close
to the enemy; a skill was enough to break them out of it.
Kim Sung-hyun hadn’t expected that Wei Xiao would come so soon.
Wei Xiao had already reached level 6. The level 6 hidden thief had its
ultimate move––Windless.
His dart shot over, and he used his own jungle creep to take off, jumping
into the dragon pit.
There were three possible targets in the dragon pit. One was the dragon, and
the other two were Park Guizhi and Kim Sung-hyun.
The hidden thief who’d flown inside was most likely about to die inside the
pit.
However, Wei Xiao had already gone inside and had never thought of
leaving it alive!
Kim Sung-hyun’s pupils contracted, “Save your skills!”
He was speaking to Park Guizhi. He’d already seen through Wei Xiao’s
intentions!
Unfortunately, he’d spoken a little late. Wei Xiao had already gotten close,
and he attacked Kim Sung-hyun and Park Guizhi at the same time.
Kim Sung-hyun immediately switched forms, clearing away the darts while
his ghost form’s claws swiped at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao wasn’t anxious. He used his ultimate move and aimed at Park
Guizhi, perfectly avoiding the control skill.
Park Guizhi’s skills were linked up quickly, but Wei Xiao was more flexible
than they’d expected. He took off again and rushed towards the dragon.
The commentator exclaimed, “This is a beautiful set of moves!”
“He perfectly avoided Kim Sung-hyun and Park Guizhi’s moves!”
“A very brilliant series of operations that can be included in the collection

of wonderful replays!”
It wasn’t that the commentator was praising him exaggeratedly with his
eyes closed; the details of Wei Xiao’s operation left even Kim Sung-hyun
and Park Guizhi stunned.
Kim Sung-hyun stared at the dragon’s health bar and gritted his teeth, “Kill
the hidden thief first!”
They couldn’t let Wei Xiao live. His ‘windless’ had never been interrupted,
and at this time, if Pro continued to attack the dragon, they would only be
offering up themselves and the dragon on a silver platter!
Kim Sung-hyun’s judgement was correct. He and Park Guizhi attacked

from both sides, landing all their damage output on Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao’s small body couldn’t stand the assault. He looked at Bai Cai’s
position and knew that there wouldn’t be enough time…
“Old Bai! Ultimate move!”
The light priest’s ultimate move was a wall that could isolate all creatures,
including friendly forces.
Bai Cai was worthy of being an old teammate who’d fought with him
everywhere. He sold him out without any hesitation and said, “Have a good
trip!”
He was still seven or eight yards away from the dragon pit, and it was
impossible for him to save Wei Xiao. he could only create opportunities for
Yue Wenle, who was making his way over!
The light priest’s light wall fell down from the sky and split the dragon pit
into two.
The dragon was outside the wall, and inside the wall were the three fighting
players.
Nobody had any attention left to spare on fighting the dragon, and the
dragon’s health volume gradually went back up again.
Pro’s attempt to steal the dragon had completely failed this time. They
could only kill Wei Xiao to assuage their anger.
Wei Xiao had been trapped in the dragon pit by Bai Cai. There was no
escape, and no hiding. There was only death.
However, the road to death didn’t mean waiting for death. Wei Xiao used
‘windless’ to the extreme and tried to avoid taking damage in the narrow
space…
Yue Wenle’s storm hunter finally appeared, stepping on its raindrops. Wei
Xiao was delighted, “Old Yue, kill him!”
He’d only just finished speaking when he was killed by Kim Sung-hyun.
At the same time, Yue Wenle’s rain arrows flew over coldly, hitting the
ghost hunter who was already at low health.
Pro.Succ killed FTW.Quiet!
FTW.Le killed Pro.Succ!
“Cool!”
The scrolling comments were full of cheers, “You didn’t die unjustly, Quiet
contributed greatly in this wave!”
“Right, right, right, not only did he interfere with Kim Sung-hyun killing
the dragon, he also tried his best to create opportunities for his teammates to
take a kill.”
“Awesome! It’s too damned awesome!”
“Daddy Hyun is still Daddy Hyun, his hands are still that steady, accurate,
and cruel when he kills thieves!”
Less than half a second later, the system announcement rang out again––
FTW.Close killed Pro.UU.
The bottom jungle area was fighting hard, and on the top lane, Close had
solo killed Pro’s top-laner!
Although Wei Xiao had died, he was still very excited, “Beautiful!”
Having the captain there was too reliable.
After FTW’s team fight, no matter what the casualties were, the top lane
would always be as stable as a rock. It really gave them a sense of security.
In FTW’s team chat––
Lu Feng: “Switch lanes.”
Yue Wenle was stunned.
Lu Feng: “I’ll go against Kim Sung-hyun in that lane.”
The audience couldn’t hear the team chat, but they could see the real-time
movements.
It made their spirits quiver to see the divine warrior and storm hunter switch
lanes.
“Close is going to the bottom lane!”
“Kim Sung-hyun’s playing too arrogantly, and Close can’t watch on

anymore.”
“Reasonably speaking, can Kim Sung-hyun’s marksman hold down Close’s

jungler?”
“I don’t know. FTW, who does a round trip home for the world
championships, has never had a chance to fight against Pro.”
“Ahhhh, how good would it be if Close was the jungler? We could see who
is more fierce!”
“Quietly whispering, I always have a feeling that the great demon king is
angry now.”
“Angry about what?”

“His own little jungler was killed twice, emm…”
“Holy shit, sister, that’s a good one. We ship this, we ship this!”
Off-stage.
Yuan Ze’s lips curved in a smile, “Proud Flower Kim is going to cry.”
xiin: close to the rescue?

Ch75.1 - It was hard. It was really
too hard.
Pro soon found out that FTW was switching lanes.
Reasonably speaking, Pro’s devil warrior should follow Close to the bottom
lane so that the two of them could continue their Imperial City PK.
Pro’s team chat––
Kim Sung-hyun: “There’s no need to switch.”
Pro’s top-laner UU said, “I can hold down Close.”
As a devil warrior, he’d been killed by Lu Feng’s divine warrior. He was

actually very upset by this.
Kim Sung-hyun: “Let me deal with Close. You kill FTW’s storm hunter
until he collapses.”
It was just a points competition. Considering the fact that Li Heran wasn’t
playing and Kim Sung-hyun’s mood wasn’t good, plus the fact that Close
had a special identity, UU didn’t insist again, “Okay.”
So, Kim Sung-hyun went to the bottom lane as usual and met with Close’s
divine warrior head on.
A divine warrior and a ghost hunter formed a great contrast after they
gathered in the same place.
The divine warrior lived up to its name, its entire body covered with holy
light. It had six white wings on its back and held a huge sword, standing in
a heroic pose that made it appear like the patron saint of the team.
The ghost hunter’s ghost form was a flickering black shadow with evil
spirits floating wantonly around it while baring scarlet claws. It looked like
a soul-sucking ghost that had climbed out of hell.
This pinnacle duel between two members of the former Team of Gods was
one of the favorite programs for the audience to watch.
In particular, the contrast between the two talents was so great that the
human brain could make up tens of thousands of scenarios.
“Reasonably speaking, the divine warrior might not necessarily be able to

beat the ghost hunter.”
“The ghost hunter is too agile, the divine warrior can’t catch up with him.”
“C fans, it’s time to wake up, okay? This is a 5v5 game. Can you not be so
focused on solo?”
Indeed, this was a team game. Why would they 1v1 if they could 2v1?
Close arrived at the bottom lane. After the time it took to take a doubles
selfie with Kim Sung-hyun, Wei Xiao had already hidden himself in the
bushes.
Kim Sung-hyun always kept an eye on the minimap and listened as his own
support gave status reports, “There’s nobody in the jungle zone. Quiet is
most likely in the bottom lane.”
Needless to say, Kim Sung-hyun had sensed it too. The stretch of grass to
his left was quiet and peaceful, but he could guess that a thief was
crouching there even with his eyes closed.
Should he use his skills to trick the hidden thief to come out?
Kim Sung-hyun didn’t really dare to. Close was keeping a tight eye on him,
and he had no doubt that the divine warrior’s sword would split him in two
as soon as he raised his hand.
Hide under the tower?

He’d end up missing soldiers.
––I don’t need you to kill soldiers, I won’t miss a single one.
Kim Sung-hyun thought of his commitment to Li Heran and was torn for a
moment.
Damn it!
Pro’s jungler Park Guizhi exclaimed, “Don’t go out!”
But the ghost hunter had already used its ghost shadow, ignoring the hidden
thief in the grass as it tossed its control skills at the divine warrior. He
switched to human form to kill the soldiers then, when his skills were in
cooldown, he instantly switched to ghost form and planned to return to the
tower…
The divine warrior moved faster than he’d thought. He’d clearly been
controlled by him, but relying on the control resistance stats of his
equipment, the divine warrior was able to break out of his control a little
earlier than expected. Six wings exploded outwards, and the holy sword that
was wrapped in white feathers stabbed into Kim Sung-hyun.
Kim Sung-hyun’s heart cracked a little. It really was typical of Little Close,
his reaction time was really overboard!
However…
Kim Sung-hyun managed to resist the blade, and the skills of his ghost state
smashed onto the hidden thief hiding in the grass.
Wei Xiao was startled, “F*ck!”
Kim Sung-hyun had sensed his presence a long time ago. He’d still dared to
come out to kill his soldiers despite being attacked from the front and back.
Was he looking down on him!
In fact, Kim Sung-hyun did have reason to look down on him.

He accurately controlled the hidden thief so that Wei Xiao couldn’t move,
then quickly returned to the tower using the ghost state’s movement ability.
There was a small medicine bag beneath the tower. Kim Sung-hyun
switched back to human state and used the medicine to replenish his health.
The health bar that had been half empty was now two thirds full.
The commentator praised, “Really worthy of being Glory’s number one

shooter. Nobody can be as persistent in clearing soldiers as he is.”
“As the main core position, he must be meticulous in everything. Losing a

single soldier or having one less gold may affect the battle situation.”
“Not missing a single soldier is the unremitting pursuit of many players!”
The commentators were praising Kim Sung-hyun when they suddenly got
stuck, “Close…”
The battle situation changed too fast, and it didn’t give them time to talk
nonsense.
Kim Sung-hyun had only just pulled back into the tower when Wei Xiao’s
control effect disappeared. Lu Feng said, “Go.”
Wei Xiao: “Got it!”
The hidden thief, who was at full health, used a jungle creep as a
springboard and threw a dart at Kim Sung-hyun’s head.
Kim Sung-hyun sucked in a breath.
Wei Xiao had already rushed into the tower and latched onto him.
Kim Sung-hyun burst out with an unexpected round of cursing.
Park Guizhi: “Wait two seconds for me!”
Two seconds?
The ghost hunter would’ve turned into a dead ghost a long time ago by
then!
Sure enough, Wei Xiao rushed in just to take damage from the defense
tower, then used the dart on Kim Sung-hyun’s body to quickly dodge away.
At the same time, the divine warrior dove beneath the tower with his long
sword, and the golden special effects smashed onto the pale and thin ghost
hunter.
FTW.Close killed Pro.Succe.
“This cooperation was perfect!”
“The hidden thief withstood the tower, then withdrew. The divine warrior
advanced, then harvested a head. Holy shit, who says that the divine warrior
is a support type top-lane hero?!”
“Sure enough, the great demon king is a great demon king no matter what
he uses!”
“To tell you the truth, I’ve already thought about the divine warrior’s
championship skin. How about a fallen angel? The white wings turning
black; it’s a perfect match for our Close!”
When Kim Sung-hyun fell to the ground, Park Guizhi and their support
player arrived at the same time.
Unfortunately…
The hidden thief was nowhere to be seen, and the divine warrior had
returned back to his own tower. Based on its own passive health recovery, it
would be back to full health at any second.
Were they going to forcibly kill a divine warrior who was number one in
farming and in excellent condition beneath his own tower?
The sky wasn’t dark yet. Don’t start dreaming.

As Yuan Ze had said, Proud Flower Kim was ravaged.
Pro’s support had already stationed themselves on the bottom lane,

protecting Kim Sung-hyun with his life. Unfortunately, Close was too good
at grasping opportunities, and his timing was very accurate every time he
called Wei Xiao over.
Wei Xiao’s personal strength was really amazing. His knowledge of the
talent specs, timing, and even his understanding of Close were all shocking.
It led to extremely tacit cooperation between the two, and they could wipe
out Kim Sung-hyun in one or two seconds.
Pro had been playing training matches against L&P for many years, and
Yuan Ze was very familiar with him.
If Li Heran wasn’t playing, then Kim Sung-hyun would have to be the pillar
of support for the entire team. It was actually somewhat difficult for a
marksman to be the backbone of the team.
They did alright for an ordinary team, but once they encountered a team
with a particularly strong top-jungler combo, it was easy for him to be
targeted.
For example, L&P’s Yuan Ze and Old G had abused this Proud Flower
countless times.
Although Close and Quiet’s combo was brand new, it had the potential to be
even fiercer than Yuan Ze and Old G. The Proud Flower couldn’t withstand
it.
Wasn’t he… just being crushed to death.
Was Pro going to lose?
Was Pro, who was missing their team commander Li Heran, going to lose
the game so miserably?
No.
A truly strong team had never been a one-man team.
Although the team’s lethality had dropped sharply its team commander, Pro
wasn’t just a team of two people. They had made it into the global semi-
finals based on the strength of all five people!
Kim Sung-hyun was the team’s core, but it didn’t mean that the other
people were trash.
On the contrary, they were the iron walls that guarded the core!
Pro.UU killed FTW.White!
Pro.UU killed FTW.Le!
Pro.Cui killed FTW.Silvery!
In the gap left by Wei Xiao’s crazy ganking of the bottom lane, Pro’s top
lane cooperated with their jungler Park Guizhi to take down a double kill,
while the mid-lane’s Cui killed Ning Zhehan!
Once these three kills were announced, Pro instantly cleared up their
declining state and took control of the situation again.
Off-stage.
Chen Feng’s expression remained the same.
Tang Chen scratched his head, “Strong.”
They had been watching the game constantly just now. Bai Cai, Yue Wenle,
and Ning Zhehan had played very well.
There had been almost no operational mistakes, and their state was also
very good. They hadn’t made any big mistakes in the details, but…
They couldn’t beat their opponents.
Pro’s top-laner’s devil warrior and power thief had launched a surprise
attack. Bai Cai had taken tons of damage and was the first to die, but he’d
still failed to protect Yue Wenle.
This wasn’t a positioning error, nor was it an operational mistake, but rather
a hero restraint and operational suppression.
Although Wei Xiao had subdued Kim Sung-hyun, the other side’s jungler
wasn’t just for show. They could naturally also hold down Yue Wenle!
The mid-lane Cui’s sword mage was an assassin mage type. It was a mage
who could kill devastatingly if given the opportunity.
Even if it hadn’t been Ning Zhehan, and EVE’s Xie He had been there
instead, it was difficult to say whether he would be able to live on without
his teammates’ support.
In the game that was going on now, it wasn’t just about the three cubs, but
more about the whole team.
They needed more cooperation, more discipline, more adaptation and

understanding of each other.
Chen Feng understood all these things, so he wasn’t in a panic.
It wasn’t something they could rush.
They still had enough time. The earlier they discovered these problems, the
earlier they could deal with them.
The domestic competition would be their real start!
The top lane and mid-lane had collapsed, so Wei Xiao could no longer
target Kim Sung-hyun. He had to start supporting all three lanes.
As a result, Kim Sung-hyun was liberated.

No matter how strong Close was, it was unrealistic for him to be able to
crush Kim Sung-hyun with Pro’s support behind him.
Kim Sung-hyun no longer ran around everywhere. He simply developed

quietly, frantically seizing farming opportunities from beneath Close’s
hand.
Little by little, bit by bit…
This kind of particular, precise marksman was the most terrifying presence
in the canyon.
The game dragged on into the second half.
Wei Xiao’s heart was uneasy, “We won’t be able to fight if we drag the
game on.”
The ghost hunter had begun to give up its ghost form and focus only on its
human form.
The ghost hunter in human form had no flexible movements or control

skills, but it had an amazing ability to deal damage from the back row.
By the time Kim Sung-hyun finished six full sets of gear, he would be able
to use a single arrow to string FTW up like a tanghulu.
Lu Feng: “Give up the bottom lane tower.”
Wei Xiao’s heart thumped.
There was no other way; they were at their limit. It was already record
breaking for the captain to be able to guard the defense tower to this degree
against two people.
When FTW lost their bottom tower, the liberated Kim Sung-hyun really
began to crush all lanes.
Pro’s playstyle was very obvious.

Everyone supported Kim Sung-hyun.
They weren’t just foils, nor were they just decoration. They were iron walls
that guarded Kim Sung-hyun!
Even if Li Heran wasn’t there, the tacit understanding between the team
members still existed.
The game lasted 40 minutes.
FTW was suffering from a one-sided decline.
Kim Sung-hyun gave up the ghost form completely, and his human form
with full gear was strong enough to explode.
Yue Wenle’s storm hunter began to expose its shortcomings.
It was hard for the storm hunter that was strong in the early stages to find
DPS opportunities in the later stages.
High mobility marksmen were destined to sacrifice high DPS and range. It
was basic, fundamental game balance logic.
The ice mage’s damage had increased, but Pro’s support had magic defense
gear and blocked in front of the team, forcing Ning Zhehan to retreat.
He couldn’t deal any real damage, and his positioning was forced
backwards, unable to affect Pro’s back row.
If he was even a little careless, then Pro’s sword mage could shoot a sword
over and kill him instantly with a set of skills.
It was hard. It was really too hard.
There was no way for FTW to fight a team battle at all!
If they weren’t able to cut to the back and kill Kim Sung-hyun. FTW had no
hope of winning the game.
Everyone understood this truth, but how could they reach Kim Sung-hyun?
Bai Cai said fiercely, “Old Wei, let’s go get Kim Sung-hyun!”
Damn it, he was so angry. He’d been marksmen’s daddy for so many years
and had never felt so suffocated.
How was this a marksman? It was clearly a big ancestor!
An ancestor that must be catered to all around the canyon!
Wei Xiao’s voice held a rare seriousness, “You can’t leave Old Yue.”
Pro’s most ball-breaking point lay here. It seemed that everyone was
focused on protecting Kim Sung-hyun, but in fact, their sense of smell was
more sensitive than a pack of dogs. Once they noticed any meaty bones,
they would pounce and chew it into nothing in seconds.
Yue Wenle and Ning Zhehan were the most tasty meat bones.
As soon as Bai Cai left them, they would be attacked and killed
immediately.
Once the marksman and mage were dead, how would FTW deal any DPS?
Even if they killed Kim Sung-hyun, so what?
Pro’s four remaining people could easily win the game!
Bai Cai understood this as well. It was just that he was angry, “F*ck, could
it be that we’ll have to admit defeat like this?”
Once these words came out, the team chat fell silent.
Wei Xiao, whose trash talk could cover the whole sky, didn’t pick up the
thread of the conversation, and everyone else felt a little flustered.
This game was different from yesterday’s game.
They’d been psychologically prepared for how strong the full-strength L&P
were.
They could face the results no matter how they won or lost, but Pro was
missing their commander. If they lost like this, then…
Ch75.2 - FTW is amazing!
Lu Feng said, “I’ll go…”
Wei Xiao interrupted him, “No!”
Lu Feng stared at the hidden thief on the screen.
Wei Xiao was unusually calm, “The divine warrior’s later stage DPS is
unable to kill Kim Sung-hyun. Moreover, the team needs you to start the
team fight. If you die, Old Bai won’t be able to hold up.”
The light priest was squishy. Without the divine warrior tanking, FTW
would have a very difficult time fighting.
Brother Cai spoke anxiously, “Then what should we do? If we can’t kill
Kim Sung-hyun, we won’t be fighting shit.”
Wei Xiao spoke in a deep voice, “I’ll go.”
Bai Cai’s brows twisted together, “You’re too squishy. You can’t reach Kim
Sung-hyun.”
Wei Xiao glanced at the soldier lines and the refresh time for the ancient
creature and calculated silently in his heart, “There’s only one chance.”
They would only have one chance, and the present situation didn’t allow
Wei Xiao any room for error.
The resurrection time for heroes in the late stages of the game took too
long. If Wei Xiao couldn’t cut Kim Sung-hyun down dead, then FTW
would lose.
The ancient creature would refresh, and the soldier lines would advance
forward.
The FTW that would be left with only four people wouldn’t be able to hold
up no matter what!
Lu Feng’s voice was low, “Go ahead. We’ll draw them over. You look for a
chance.”
Wei Xiao nodded, “Yes!”
Bai Cai, Yue Wenle, and Ning Zhehan’s hearts all rose up to their throats.
It was just a points fight. If they lost, their prize pool would be empty.
FTW was currently in first place in the bonus prize pool and losing would
be costly.
However, it wasn’t a dead end for them, because the real competition for
the entire training camp would take place on the last day.
They had hope for turning the tables around even if they lost today’s game.
And if they won today, it would just be a moment of brilliance.
However…
They didn’t want to lose!
They weren’t willing to lose!
No matter what the cost was, regardless of whether the results were
important or not, at that moment, all they remembered was their team name.
––FTW.
For The Win.
For victory!
Wei Xiao didn’t say anything else. Even his breathing slowed down.
His mind was filled with countless images of Close’s matches.
In this kind of situation, what would Close do?
How would Close kill Kim Sung-hyun with a hidden thief?
Close would definitely be able to do it.
He could too!
He’d taken over Close’s jungler position, and he would definitely never let
him down!
The late stage team fight was on the verge of breaking out at any time.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle tried their best to perform long-distance
harassment. Bai Cai remained by their side to protect them, replenishing
their health and blocking the other side’s skills.
Close held back Pro’s devil warrior and power thief who were attempting to
sneak in close.
These two or three minutes of tug of war made people not even dare to
blink.
Countless people’s hearts had risen up to their throats as they waited for the
final result.
Lu Feng: “Opportunity.”
At the moment when he began to speak, Wei Xiao had already started
moving.
The timing was fleeting, and he couldn’t miss this opportunity that his
teammates had been fighting for.
Pro’s support used his control skill, and the devil warrior’s highest amount
of DPS landed on Lu Feng’s body. The power thief moved forward, and
Kim Sung-hyun only had one sword mage beside him.
Wei Xiao went into stealth. The blood all over his body was boiling, but his
fingers were incredibly stable.
No mistakes. He couldn’t expose himself and couldn’t let himself be

detected by Kim Sung-hyun.
Kim Sung-hyun: “Hidden thief!”
He couldn’t see anything, but he could feel it.
Intuition told him that the damned stinky brat was about to gank him.
Their actions were faster than their words. Pro’s sword mage came up to
block in front of him, opening up its ultimate move without hesitation.
Countless light swords swept across, forming a dense sword wall.
Wei Xiao couldn’t allow himself to be hit. The sword mage’s late stage
damage had exploded, and it would only take four or five swords at most to
kill him.
Avoiding the light swords meant that he would have to stay away from Kim
Sung-hyun.
Park Guizhi was already in the process of coming back, and Pro’s support’s
control skill was about to finish its cooldown.
If he missed this second, then FTW could only wait to be destroyed in the
team fight!
His heart pounded, and there were goosebumps on his arms.
Wei Xiao felt more calm than ever before.
All sounds were gone, his thoughts were empty, and the only thing in front
of him was the pale and thin figure of the ghost hunter.
There were gaps between the light swords.
Under normal circumstances, it was extremely difficult to avoid.
However, Wei Xiao stared fixedly at the gaps…
His movement speed was much faster than that of the sword mage. He
could see through the sword mage’s position, and as long as he kept up with
the trajectory, there would be enough of a delay between the light swords!
He found it.
Wei Xiao rushed up against the light swords and nailed Kim Sung-hyun
with a dart.
Kim Sung-hyun’s heart trembled, “F*ck!”
Wei Xiao’s lips curved. He landed a series of moves on Kim Sung-hyun,

sending him into critical health in seconds.
Kim Sung-hyun: “I have resurrection armor. Kill the hidden thief!”
When he fell, Wei Xiao was also destroyed by the collective attacks.
However, while Kim Sung-hyun had resurrection armor, Wei Xiao had it
too!
At the moment when he stood up again, Wei Xiao switched his resurrection
armor for the invincible blade. After resisting a wave of damage, he hit Kim
Sung-hyun again.
Kim Sung-hyun was no worse than he was. He’d switched to his invincible
blade at the same time, blocking the fatal attack. He switched to his ghost
form just in time, wanting to leave the battlefield.
Wei Xiao chuckled, “He fell for it.”
Kim Sung-hyun clearly couldn’t hear Wei Xiao’s voice. He obviously didn’t
know what the brat had said, but when he looked at the hidden thief on the
screen, he seemed to have heard it…
The divine warrior came down from the sky and stabbed the ghostly figure
with a sword.
The light shattered the demonic aura, and the ghost figure was torn apart
into black smoke by the divine warrior.
FTW.Close killed Pro.Succe!
Kim Sung-hyun died.
He’d tried his best to escape the hidden thief’s assassination, but ended up
dying beneath the divine warrior’s sword.
“F*ck!”
“Too cool!”
“Oh my god, did you guys see? The camera cut to Quiet’s face just now.”
“I saw it, I saw it. Too handsome. F*ck, there were stars in this little
brother’s eyes!”
“The moment when Kim Sung-hyun turned into ghost form to escape, Quiet
smiled.”
“That smile was too cool. When will there be a replay? This old lady could
watch it a hundred times!”
“Amazing, FTW is amazing!”
Kim Sung-hyun had died, and Wei Xiao had fallen too.
However, FTW’s momentum rose up!

Yue Wenle stepped on his raindrops and flew over, rain arrows falling down
from all over the sky. The sword mage was sent back to the resurrection
crystal in seconds.
Ning Zhehan played out his control skills perfectly, freezing three people at
the same time.
The divine warrior’s sword swept over and cut the three people down to
half health.
FTW.Le killed Pro.UU.
FTW.Le Killed Pro.Cui.
FTW.Le killed…
FTW.Le Quadrakill!
In this last wave, Yue Wenle used the storm hunter and got a Quadrakill!
Pro was wiped out.
FTW won the game.
The entire audience was full of cheers for this wonderful counterattack.
Chen Feng, who was famous for his cold aloofness, was so excited that he
slapped Tang Chen’s thigh fiercely, his voice trembling, “They won! They
won!!”
Tang Chen: “Ouch, ouch, they, they won.” His leg QAQ!
The domestic live broadcast room was even more excited.
The screen was full of the sentiment––FTW is amazing!

It seemed that this was the first time in three years that the fans didn’t know
whether to say ‘Close is amazing’ or ‘FTW is amazing’.
Even though they’d won against an incomplete Pro.
Even though they’d only won a trivial points competition.
However, the dazzling light created by the five of them working together
had become a brightness that lit up the hearts of countless fans in China.
They were eager to win, desperate to win, and looking forward to winning!
Amazing, FTW!
After the game, both sides shook hands.
Kim Sung-hyun held tight to Wei Xiao’s hand, “Great.” The words were
squeezed out from between gritted teeth.
Wei Xiao’s smile spread across his entire face, “Ten days later, I’ll be
waiting for the real Kim Sung-hyun.”
Kim Sung-hyun was stunned, and a smile appeared in his eyes, “Brat.”
They released their handshake. Kim Sung-hyun looked at Lu Feng, “See

you later.”
Lu Feng’s calm black eyes flashed briefly, “See you later.”
They had once both been in the Team of Gods, been teammates and partners
who fought shoulder to shoulder. Now, they were opponents!
See you later.
He would definitely win next time.
See you later.
Next time, he wouldn’t lose.

They were no longer teammates but were opponents who were worthy of
respect!
They went back off-stage.
Yuan Ze smiled slightly, “Beautiful.”
Wei Xiao blocked in front of Lu Feng and raised his eyebrows, “Of course
it’s more beautiful than your divine warrior.”
Yuan Ze spoke meaningfully, “I’m saying…”
Lu Feng dragged this kid away and pushed him into his seat, separating the
two of them.
Wei Xiao poked his head out, “You don’t have to say it. My captain plays
everything more beautifully than you do!”
Lu Feng blocked his view, “Didn’t you say you had to go to the
washroom?”
Wei Xiao: “Oh, right!”
He got up and went to the other side to go to the washroom.
Yuan Ze tsked and said, “You’re protecting him so strictly?”
Lu Feng didn’t look at him, “You don’t understand.”
Yuan Ze: “???”
Lu Feng’s lips curled slightly, “You don’t have such a good child around.
Of course you wouldn’t understand why I’m protecting him so strictly.”
Yuan Ze: “…………………” F*ck!

In the game just now, Wei Xiao had been the one to fall first in the last
battle.
His screen had turned dark, but his mouth was still going strong.
The cold killer disappeared, to be replaced by FTW’s trash talk king,

“Fellow brothers, hurry up, hurry up, I can’t hold it in anymore!”
Bai Cai: “……………”
Wei Xiao: “Shoot, shoot, shoot, Old Yue, hurry up, Laozi wants to go to the
toilet!”
Yue Wenle almost died on the stage!
The heavens knew that Old Yue, who’d gotten a Quadrakill, wasn’t happy
at all. He even felt a chill at the back of his neck that seemed to come from
the divine warrior’s holy sword!
At the end of the game, Wei Xiao took his time slowly solving his
physiological problems.
He hadn’t gone in for long when he heard a conversation outside.
It was Kim Sung-hyun’s voice, speaking Korean.
Wei Xiao’s English wasn’t bad, but his Korean wasn’t very good. He’d
heard little sisters call out ‘Oppa’ when he was studying, but he didn’t
understand anything else.
The competition committee provided headphones for simultaneous

translation.
However, this kind of thing…
It’s accuracy was extremely poor. Nobody wore it except as a last resort.
How could Wei Xiao be wearing that kind of thing when he went to the
toilet? And even if he’d been wearing it, it wasn’t something he should
listen to. For this kind of situation, if it was avoidable, he wouldn’t listen if
he had any choice.
So, he didn’t understand what the other two were talking about.
What he could be certain of was that one person was Kim Sung-hyun while
the other was Li Heran.
Wei Xiao wanted to go out, but he heard Kim Sung-hyun’s voice get louder,
and he seemed very angry.
“……” This was embarrassing.
He’d just hammered Proud Flower Kim flat on the stage, and now he’d run
into him having a fight.
Um……
Wei Xiao could only hold back and wait to go out later.
Although he didn’t know what the two of them were arguing about, Wei
Xiao knew a little about Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran’s situation.
Back then, it seemed that Kim Sung-hyun had been sold to FTW because of
Li Heran.
He didn’t know exactly what had happened and only knew that Kim Sung-
hyun had gone back to Korea after FTW gained prominence. The first thing
he did when he went back home was find Li Heran.
But, back then…
Li Heran was about to retire.
Marksman was the position that took the heaviest toll on the body.
Killing soldiers was easy to talk about, but wasn’t easy in execution.
The right hand had to click the mouse continuously. Even a robot would
end up with problems, not to mention a human hand.
Li Heran had been unstable for an entire season, and the former first
marksman fell to the bottom.
Kim Sung-hyun had gone to find him, pulled him back up, and took him
into Pro.
After that, Li Heran switched to the support position, and Kim Sung-hyun
became the marksman.
It was said that when the two of them had first made their debut, Li Heran
had been a marksman while Kim Sung-hyun played the mid-lane mage
position.
Their double-core combination had been explosively powerful, and the

entire team did very well.
Later on, Kim Sung-hyun went to China and switched to the marksman
position.
As of now, Li Heran had switched to support.
After going around and around, the Pro team that had finally been broken in
with much difficulty was now facing a new disaster.
How long could Li Heran last?
Could he hold on until they won the world championship?
Wei Xiao was in a trance.
An absurd idea suddenly floated up.
If the captain was like Li Heran… what should he do?
This indescribable fear almost stopped Wei Xiao’s heart. His nose grew
sour and his eyes turned red.
He didn’t dare to think about it.
He didn’t dare to think about it at all.
Wei Xiao clenched his fists and pressed down hard, as though trying to
crush the pain that wanted to shatter his heart.
Ch76.1 - Don’t tempt me. I’m
afraid that I can’t hold back.
After he heard the sound of footsteps leaving, Wei Xiao came out of the
washroom compartment.
There was nobody at the sink area. Wei Xiao looked at himself in the
mirror.
His eyes were red, and he looked like he wanted to cry, like a little dog that
nobody wanted.
“Shit.”
Wei Xiao turned on the tap. After washing his hands, he cupped a handful
of water and splashed his face.
He cooled his eyes and also cooled down his brain.
He was too dependent on Close.
After his grandma’s death, he’d had nobody to rely on. He’d been taken by
surprise when he met the captain; how could he resist?
Especially, especially nice.
Wei Xiao sighed and suppressed this illogical fear.
What was he thinking?

The captain was only 21 years old. Li Heran was already 23. It wasn’t the
same!
There were two years of difference!
Two years…
Wei Xiao once again felt that the difference was a little small.
That wasn’t right!
He remembered that the captain’s birthday was in December, so now he was

just counting by years. If he rounded down, then the captain was only 20
years old.
20 meant that he was only one year older than he was. He was currently
alive and kicking, and the captain could still fight for another 500 years!
At this moment, Wei Xiao could be regarded as having found some

comfort.
He couldn’t bear for anything to happen to Lu Feng.
He cherished everyone who was good to him in his life.
He’d been in the toilet for a long time. When he went back to his seat, Lu
Feng looked at him, “Not feeling well?”
Wei Xiao thought to himself, the captain was really elegant and gentle. He
was so circumspect when asking him if he had diarrhea.
Wei Xiao: “I didn’t have diarrhea.”
Lu Feng was relieved, “Why did it take so long?”
Wei Xiao leaned in close to him and said, “I ran into Kim Sung-hyun and Li
Heran having a fight.”
Yuan Ze was still beside the two of them. The Old Bandit had his ears
perked up vertically and felt like he’d found a breakthrough point in the
conversation, “The two of them quarrel every day. In the past, when they
were in FTW, they would scold each other over international calls.”
Wei Xiao was curious, “Captain Li appears to be very good tempered.” And
he seemed to indulge Kim Sung-hyun very much.
Yuan Ze: “You don’t get it. The more one looks like they have a good
temper, the more unusual their temper actually is.”
Wei Xiao was unhappy with that, “Why don’t I get it? Watching you smile
like a fox every day actually feels terrible. Look at how my captain looks
like a cold iceberg, but in fact, he treats me really well.”
Yuan Ze: “………………”
In order to talk to Yuan Ze, Wei Xiao’s entire person was pasted onto Lu
Feng’s body.
Lu Feng held down his waist and said, “Captain Yuan needs to go play in a
moment. Don’t disturb him.”
The implication beneath the words was that this topic could end here.
Wei Xiao was about to say something else, but he suddenly stopped.
––The captain’s hand was really hot.
Wei Xiao’s brain buzzed as he sat up straight.
Lu Feng also didn’t dare to touch him further. He removed his hand as soon
as he sat up properly.
Old Dog Yuan didn’t notice anything and was still trying to stir up discord,
“You didn’t even come to L&P. How could you know that I wouldn’t treat
you well?”
Wei Xiao’s heart felt hot, and he was just about to turn around to aggravate
him.
Lu Feng spoke slowly and steadily, “I was also very good to him before he
joined FTW.”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”
If Wei Xiao had a tail, it would be pointing up to the sky right now. “Did
you hear that? Did you hear that? Did you hear that, Captain Yuan!”
Captain Yuan had indeed heard it. He’d heard the foolish sound of his own
foot kicking an iron plate.
Old G with his half-assed Chinese heard this and came to his captain’s
rescue in confusion, “Don’t look at how my captain is smiling like a fox. In
fact, his stomach is full of bad water!”
The FTW crowd whose Chinese was CET 10 level, “… Pfft!”
Old G’s expression was confused as he said in English, “Did I say it wrong?
Isn’t that a phrase used to describe the captain’s intelligence? What are they
laughing at?”
Not only had Yuan Ze kicked an iron plate, he’d even f*cking lifted up a
stone and smashed it on his own foot!
Wei Xiao’s English was good, and he replied, “Indeed, indeed, it’s used to
describe how smart your captain is. He’s really smart. Old G, keep going,
praise him 30 times a day, and your captain will love you for 10,000 years.”
Old G: “………”
His Chinese wasn’t good, but he wasn’t stupid. When he looked at his team
captain’s bad expression, he could tell that he’d said the wrong thing,
“About that…”
Yuan Ze picked up his jacket and covered Gary’s head, “Let’s go. We’re
playing a match.”
Oh, it was now L&P’s turn to play.
The team that went up against L&P wanted to cry when they finally stepped
off-stage.
What was going on?
Why were Marshal and Gary so fierce?!
Even if they were lovelorn, they shouldn’t bring their emotions into the
game.
The team that had been hammered until they had bumps all over their heads
dared to be upset but didn’t dare to voice it out loud.
After watching the games and going back to the training room, Chen Feng
went over the replay as usual.
The replay session was always the most comfortable when they had won
the game.
He could point out any problems directly without worrying about any
mental burden the players might have, and the acceptance level for criticism
was high.
Of course, there were also the ones who didn’t like reviewing the game
after winning, feeling that since they’d won, then they’d done nothing
wrong.
This kind of player might exist in other teams, but FTW didn’t have any.
Even Close, the leader and person in charge, respected Chen Feng. The
others were naturally very obedient and well-behaved.
Wei Xiao took the replay review very seriously every time.
It was even to the point where he would find his own mistakes before Chen
Feng did, and he wasn’t afraid of being disciplined. He scolded himself
more fiercely than Chen Feng did.
However, he remained very quiet that night. He didn’t focus on watching
himself and stared at the captain’s divine warrior instead during the entire
process.
During this match, if one only looked at the final results, then the divine
warrior’s performance hadn’t been the most brilliant.
Yue Wenle had the highest number of kills, and that last Quadrakill had
basically sent him up to heaven.
Ning Zhehan had dealt the highest amount of DPS. Although he hadn’t
taken many kills, he’d played out a lot of damage with the ice mage’s strong
poke (long-range attacks).
There was no doubt that milk daddy Brother Cai had taken the highest
amount of damage.
Wei Xiao had been pressured too tragically by Kim Sung-hyun during this
game, and his stats didn’t look good. However, the key to victory lay in him
trading his life for Kim Sung-hyun’s during that last wave, and it couldn’t
be captured by a simple data panel.
There was only Close, who seemed to be a little bland during this game.
It was true that he wasn’t very eye-catching, but he’d been very important.
Wei Xiao looked at the entire game situation and saw countless details from
the divine warrior.
In the early stages, he’d suppressed the devil warrior. In the middle stages,
he’d suppressed Kim Sung-hyun, and at the end, if it hadn’t been for the
divine warrior stalking the Kim Sung-hyun who’d switched to ghost form
intending to escape, FTW would’ve been done for.
During all the important segments, the divine warrior’s figure was present,
but he wasn’t as sharp as he’d been before.
He was hidden silently within the team, like a pair of eyes above the
canyon, quietly making up for the gaps in the team.
––Controlling the field.
A shudder swept through Wei Xiao’s nerves.
It turned out that the great demon king’s control could be so gentle when it
wasn’t used against the enemy.
He peeked at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng seemed to notice his gaze and shifted his eyes over.
Wei Xiao quickly turned his head back and stared at the screen.
He was very pleased inside, because he’d been the first to discover this
secret.
After the replay review was over, they started queuing as a team of five as
usual.
The tacit understanding between members of a team couldn’t be faked. It

could only be tempered by playing one match after another together.
The hour hand pointed at 12 o’clock. They had just finished a game.
Lu Feng was the room master. He clicked to start queueing again.
Wei Xiao cancelled the queue.
Lu Feng looked at him, “Hm?”
Wei Xiao said, “Captain, it’s twelve. It’s time for you to rest.”
As soon as he spoke, everyone looked at him like he’d just performed

magic: What? Did they hear wrong? Was this something that Wei Xiaoxiao
would say?!
Lu Feng was also stunned. He asked back, “Tired?”

Wei Xiao wasn’t tired at all. He said, “It wasn’t easy for the captain to
develop his biological clock. Don’t break it, go to bed early.”
Bai Cai disdained him, “I don’t know who it is who pesters the captain for
solo games day and night.”
Wei Xiao glared at him, “I’m young and ignorant. You’re the one who
doesn’t know when to stop.”
He was the one who’d spoken too much. He deserved it!
Lu Feng could sense that: Wei Xiao was concerned about him.
His eyes curved slightly as he asked him, “Then, I’ll go to sleep?”
Wei Xiao urged him, “Go quickly, go quickly.”
Lu Feng spoke lightly, “I originally wanted to solo with you before going to
sleep.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng smiled as he looked at him.
Wei Xiao snapped at Brother Vegetable, “What are you standing there so
dazedly for? Hold me back!”
Brother Vegetable: “???”
Wei Xiao stuffed his own arm into Brother Vegetable’s hands, “What’s the
use of having you around?!”
Brother Vegetable finally understood. It seemed that he wanted him to stop

him?
Emmm…
Wei Xiaoxiao, you’re a male escort with many plays!
The ‘stopped’ Wei Xiao waved at Lu Feng, “Don’t tempt me. I’m afraid
that I can’t hold back.”
Brother Vegetable’s hand trembled. He really wished he could strangle him:

Would you die if you spoke using human language?
Lu Feng was already used to it and asked again deliberately, “So, I’m
going?”
Wei Xiao was heartbroken, “Goodbye, see you later, good night!”
xiin: Lu Feng: Actually, I want you to be unable to hold back.

Ch76.2 - Slow down, Captain, go
slower, I can’t stand it, really...
Lu Feng really left the training room. Wei Xiao seemed to turn into a
hollowed-out salted fish, lying there paralyzed in the e-sports chair.
Brother Vegetable looked at him, “What’re you up to this time?”
Wei Xiao endured the pain in his heart and said powerlessly, “How can the
captain be the same as us?”
Brother Vegetable: “?”
Wei Xiao spoke earnestly, “Not only is he an active professional player, he’s
also the head of a club and has many things to deal with every morning. If
he stays up late just like us, how tired would he be?!”
Bai Cai looked at him suspiciously, “Why are you suddenly so sensible?”
How could Wei Xiao be willing to say that he’d been scared by Li Heran?
He spoke in a pithy tone, “Love cuts deeply. It’s probably that I’m starting
to love the captain more and more.”
Brother Vegetable & Old Yue & Little Ning: “…………….”
After hearing it so often, they were now immune!
Although it was for the sake of Lu Feng’s body, when Wei Xiao thought
about his lost solo games, his heart felt like it was on fire.
“Aaahhhh!!” Wei Xiao was grumpy, “Brother Cai, come double queue!”
He had to find some stimulation in order to vent his feelings. Otherwise, he
might run back to the room and pester the captain.
At two o’clock in the morning, Chen Feng drove all four little ones back to
sleep.
Wei Xiao wasn’t sleepy. Chen Feng sneered, “You don’t want to play free
matching anymore? Your Brother Tang is quite bored.”
Wei Xiao was startled, “I’m leaving!”
Going back to the room at this hour; Lu Feng must already be sleeping.
Wei Xiao’s movements were light. He didn’t even dare to turn the water on
high when he took a shower and just washed up in a hurry, stepping out of
the bathroom wrapped up in a bathrobe.
The room was lit up with floor lighting that wasn’t dazzling at all and
wouldn’t wake Lu Feng up.
Wei Xiao’s eyes adapted to the dim lighting. He could clearly see the
captain sleeping on the bed.
The island they were training on was very hot, but the air conditioning in
the room was off, and it was a little stuffy at the moment.
Lu Feng had probably felt hot while sleeping. The quilt on his body had
been pushed down to his waist, and his pajamas were drawn up, revealing a
large stretch of his abdomen.
Black cloth, pale skin, sexy abs, and mermaid line…
F*ck!
Wei Xiao quickly shifted his eyes away and covered himself with a pillow.
His face was burning hot, and his ears seemed to have been set on fire and
were now thoroughly red.
It wasn’t the first time he’d seen it, and he’d even touched it before. What
the hell was his heart jumping around for.
Wei Xiao tilted his head and lifted the pillow. He narrowed his eyes and
looked over again…
Tsk, tsk. This lighting, this face, this figure.
Wei Xiao was calm!
It was all the lighting’s fault. It was too hot in the room, and the captain was
too handsome!
He should be a good and proper internet addict. Why train up his body so
well?!
Eh, Wei Xiao’s little foolish brain was starting to turn again.
Exercise.
Exercise was good!
It kept one strong and healthy, and would prolong one’s life!
Wei Xiao covered himself with the quilt and endured the heat to open up his
cell phone. He began to search: The benefits of exercise.
A line of text that caught his attention made his eyes light up instantly,
“Strengthens the bones in the human body and promotes the growth of
muscles…”
How wonderful. The captain loved exercising so much that his bones must
be really healthy and his muscles must be strong. Occupational diseases
wouldn’t be able to get to him at all!
Wei Xiao became energetic and continued to scroll down. As he went

down, another line popped out––bedroom exercise was conducive to
harmony between a husband and wife.
The 19-year-old virgin: “???”
What was this messy stuff!
He had been searching up exercise. How did this get into the picture?!
Wei Xiao was so hot he wanted to die, and at this time, he almost couldn’t
breathe. He turned off his cell phone and poked his head out.
He turned over and faced Lu Feng.
Who could’ve known that Lu Feng would’ve turned over, too? He was now
facing him.
The lamp that hadn’t yet been turned off outlined his body, his broad
shoulders and narrow waist, and his long and straight legs that were hidden
beneath the thin quilt.
He should close his eyes, close his eyes. Sleep. Sleep.
Oh, he had to set an alarm.
The next day, Wei Xiao, who’d set an alarm, woke up at half past eight.
Wei Xiao was confused for a moment as he looked at his cell phone. “I
clearly set it for 7:30. Why didn’t it ring? What kind of broken thing is
this?!”
He clutched at his hair just as the door opened.
Light streamed in through the door. The man who was wearing a sports vest
was covered in sweat, and his voice was even lower than usual, “You’re
awake?”
Wei Xiao was vexed, “You’re already back!”
Lu Feng entered the room and turned on the lights, “What’s up?”
Wei Xiao had wanted to get up early to go for a run with Lu Feng. Yet as a
result… why hadn’t this broken alarm clock gone off?!
Lu Feng picked up his bath towel and said, “I’ll go take a shower first.”
Wei Xiao sat up cross legged and looked at Lu Feng, “Captain, call me
when you wake up tomorrow.”
Lu Feng turned to look at him, “What’s the matter?”
Wei Xiao said, “I’ll accompany you on your run!”
Lu Feng paused briefly, “Why do you suddenly want to go running?”
Wei Xiao’s eyes darted everywhere, then landed on the abdomen hidden
beneath his thin vest. He said, “Didn’t you say that I would also have abs if
I exercise more?”
Wei Xiao stared at him intently, “I also want to build up muscles.”
An image of Wei Xiao’s pale, thin waist suddenly appeared in Lu Feng’s

mind, “……”
Wei Xiao saw that he remained silent and thought that he wasn’t taking it
seriously. He stressed, “I’m serious. I also want to exercise my body!”
As he spoke, he lifted up his clothes and exposed his flat belly.
Wei Xiao looked at himself very disdainfully, then lifted his head and said,
“Look at me… I just have one ab… eh…” Where’d the captain go?!
Lu Feng’s muffled voice drifted out from the bathroom, “I’ll wake you
tomorrow.”
Wei Xiao was satisfied, “Okay!”

Wei Xiao had gone to bed too late, then gotten up too early. As a result, he
fell asleep again.
By the time he woke up again, Lu Feng had already gone to work. He

yawned and went to find Old Bai to go and eat.
Although that day’s training match would have nothing to do with FTW,
everyone still arrived at the scene on time.
They were all strong teams from the various competition zones, and it was
possible that they’d run into each other at some point. Learning more about
the others would never hurt.
That night, they continued to queue as a team. When 12 o’clock rolled

around, Wei Xiao once again drove Lu Feng off to sleep.
Chen Feng just happened to be in the training room in order to sort out
some data. When he heard the movements, he looked up.
Wei Xiao sent off Lu Feng, then said to Chen Feng, “Coach, I also want to
go to bed early tonight.”
Chen Feng raised his eyebrows, “Did you change personalities?”
There was no ‘night’ for internet addicted youths. That was Wei Xiaoxiao’s
motto.
Wei Xiao: “I have a date with the captain tomorrow morning…”
As soon as he spoke these words, everyone ended up smashing their

keyboards!
Brother Cai: “F*ck, you…”
Wei Xiao changed his words, “It’s an agreement, a meeting.”
Everyone: “…………” Could you not make these damned slips of the
tongue!
Wei Xiao explained, “I want to run with the captain in the morning. I want
to start exercising.”
Bai Cai relaxed a little, “You’re too lazy to even walk Soybean. Can you
even exercise your body?”
Wei Xiao advised him, “The body is the capital of revolution. Brother Cai,
how about you come with me tomorrow…”
Bai Cai waved his hand so fast it created a breeze, “No need, no need.”
Wasn’t sleeping in a good thing? Why would he run over to look for abuse.
Wei Xiao went to sell this idea to Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle, “Have you
guys seen the captain’s abs? Tsk, tsk, tsk. It’s so handsome. Aren’t you guys
envious?”
Little Ning and Old Yue shook their heads crazily: They’d never seen it
before, and they weren’t envious or interested!
Seeing that these four people weren’t moved by this, the broken hearted
Wei Xiao sighed, “Young and wayward. You guys aren’t taking your bodies
seriously, hey.”
Chen Feng couldn’t continue listening anymore. “You’re only f*cking 19.”
What kind of old act was he putting on? He was 26 and hadn’t even said a
single word.
Wei Xiao went to bed at around 1:30.
When Lu Feng woke him up, Wei Xiao hugged his bed and muttered,
“Soybean, stop messing around.” He turned over, and his long, pale legs
caught on the quilt.
Lu Feng took a light breath, “You continue sleeping for a while. I’ll go
first.”
His voice was very soft. He couldn’t bear to wake him up.
Wei Xiao’s ears twitched, and his eyes opened abruptly.
Lu Feng was currently looking at him unblinkingly. He was taken by

surprise when their gazes met and was stunned for a moment.
Wei Xiao was dazed, “Captain…” His voice was drawn out, soft and gentle.
Lu Feng’s heart felt like it was being stroked by a feather, it was incredibly
itchy, “Three minutes.”
Wei Xiao woke up a little, “Ah?”
Lu Feng shifted his gaze away and tried to keep his voice cool and even,
“I’ll wait three minutes for you.”
Wei Xiao woke up completely, “F*ck! Running!”
He jumped out of bed, washed up quickly, and they left the room within
three minutes.
After a series of unremitting efforts, Wei Xiao was finally able to obtain the
achievement of running with the captain.
When they left, Wei Xiao was in high spirits, “The scenery is really
beautiful in the morning.”
After all, they were on a resort island. They ran around the hotel garden,
and the sea was to one side of them. The view was so beautiful that it made
one feel refreshed and happy.
“Mm. Very beautiful.” Lu Feng looked directly ahead, only catching a

glimpse of Wei Xiao from the corner of his eyes. His heart felt warm and
comfortable, as though the morning sun was shining into his chest.
Wei Xiao was running very energetically, “It’s not very tiring. Captain, how
long do you usually run for?”
Lu Feng: “50 minutes.”
Wei Xiao’s timing was very much tied to e-sports. “It’s like a 5v5 game.”
Lu Feng: “… Basically.”
Wei Xiao was full of fighting spirit, “That’s not a big problem. I’ll
accompany you for a 5v5 game every day in the future!”
Then, the Wei Xiaoxiao who was so full of confidence, who was so fearless
and unafraid, who often went against the heaven and the earth, half an hour
later––
“Captain, captain, I can’t anymore!”
Wei Xiao panted and gasped, “Slow down, Captain, go slower, I can’t stand
it, really… no way…”
xiin: heeeheeee~
Ch77 - Do the two gentlemen in the
room still want to eat?
Wei Xiao’s voice was already very youthful, and it was particularly crisp
and clear to the ear when he provoked people. At this moment, he was
panting hard, and his words came intermittently, carrying traces of spoiled
pleading.
Obviously, he was just tired from running, but…
It was early in the morning, but Lu Feng didn’t dare to look at him at all.
Wei Xiao really couldn’t run anymore. Seeing that his captain was running
even faster, he was suddenly shocked, “Captain, you’re too fast, I… I….”
Fortunately, the great demon king had a strong mentality and his pace was
steady. If it was someone else, they might have sprained their foot!
The open, empty garden, and the quivering, youthful voice.
Shit.
Captain Lu didn’t want to stir up any socially taboo topics, so he took a

deep breath and stopped, “Go back if you’re tired.”
Wei Xiao caught up and gasped for breath, almost crying, “No… I want…”
Lu Feng’s heart trembled.
Wei Xiao finished his sentence, “… To finish running with you.”

Lu Feng couldn’t keep running any longer, “We’ll stop here for today.
You’re too tired.”
These words stabbed the hornet’s nest.
Wei Xiao could say that he couldn’t do it a thousand times over, but others
couldn’t even hint at such a thing.
In particular, when it came to Close, it instantly inspired his desire to

succeed!
Wei Xiao reached out and grabbed Lu Feng’s forearm.
The scalding, hot palm clung to Lu Feng’s skin, bringing with it a shivery,
crisp numbness.
Lu Feng resisted the impulse to grasp him back.
Wei Xiao looked at his captain’s seven digit watch and said, “It’s… it’s only
been 30 minutes?”
His calves were trembling, and he was standing unsteadily, but

unexpectedly, it had only been 30 minutes?
Lu Feng quietly removed his hand, “We ran a little fast just now.” In fact, it
was a lot slower than when he ran by himself.
Wei Xiao really wanted to cry, “I was saying that you were too fast, who
can take it when it’s so fast?”
Lu Feng couldn’t hold back anymore, “Wei Xiao.”
Wei Xiao tried hard to catch his breath, “Hm?”
Lu Feng: “Speak properly.”
Wei Xiao: “???”

Lu Feng continued to run forward, and soon pulled four or five meters
ahead of him.
The gentle breeze from the island blew over Wei Xiao’s body, toying with
his clothes like playful butterflies.
“!”
There was a roar in his brain as Wei Xiao realized what he’d said.
Damn it.
Wei Xiao recalled what he’d just said and felt his scalp go numb.
He couldn’t concern himself with how tired he was anymore, and he ran
forward a few steps to catch up and explain, “Captain, I-I’m not harassing
you, it’s just that you’re really too fast, I really hope that you can slow
down, I…”
Once he’d been reminded, Wei Xiao also felt that anything he said came out
strange, especially as he’d already started to gasp for breath again.
Lu Feng laughed briefly, “Enough.”
Wei Xiaoxiao tested cautiously, “Hm?”
Lu Feng felt that today’s scenery was countless times more beautiful than it
had been the many days prior, “… It’s fine.”
Anything was fine, no matter what you do.
Wei Xiao let out a huge breath of relief, and his mouth started acting bratty
again, “Even this is fine? Could it be that it wouldn’t matter even if I really
harassed you!”
Lu Feng stopped abruptly and looked at him with a pair of black eyes that
reflected the morning sun.
Wei Xiao’s heart fluttered. There was a moment where he thought that the
captain would open his mouth and give him a monosyllable–– “Mm.”
Lu Feng: “Either keep up, or go back first.”
Wei Xiao blinked. By the time he came back to his senses, the captain had
already run ahead by more than ten meters.
F*ck!
How did the captain run so fast?
Did he use flash!
The little wisp of stray thoughts in Wei Xiao’s heart was blown away by the
sea breeze, leaving him full of the impulse to give chase.
He wanted to catch up to the person in front of him, wanted to be shoulder

to shoulder with him, wanted to climb up to the top with him, wanted to see
beautiful scenery from all over the world with him.
The result of excessive exercise in the morning was that Wei Xiao couldn’t
get out of bed.
When Bai Cai came knocking, Wei Xiao dragged over his tired body to
open the door.
Brother Cai was given a scare, “You… what happened?”
Wei Xiao’s legs were quivering as he lay there paralyzed on the bed,
“Tired…”
Bai Cai’s heart was shocked and he said incredulously, “You guys…”
Wei Xiao’s words took on a different flavor, “Ah, the captain is too much of
a beast!”
Bai Cai: “………………”

As the ‘relative of the female side of the family’, Brother Cai was also
collapsing, “The captain, captain, he…”
Had he finally been unable to hold back anymore and done that?!
Wei Xiao’s next sentence, “I ran with the captain for 50 minutes in the
morning, a full 50 minutes!”
Bai Cai’s face was the same color as a vegetable, and he’d been reduced to
a true Brother Vegetable, “Oh.”
If I ever believe half a sentence of yours again, Laozi will go and eat shit!
His indifferent tone left Wei Xiao very dissatisfied, “What’s with your
attitude? Don’t think that 50 minutes is very easy, no matter what kind of
exercise it is, 50 minutes is enough to tire someone to death!”
Bai Cai: “Heh heh…”
He would never think random, messy thoughts again, and he wouldn’t listen
to a single word more. Even if you guys really did it on the bed for 50
minutes, I won’t believe it!
Wei Xiao waved his hand, “Forget it, forget it, with your body, you’d die
half way.”
Bai Cai urged him, “Are you coming to eat or not?”
Wei Xiao: “I can’t move anymore.”
Bai Cai: “Bring you food?”
Wei Xiao nodded like crazy, “Don’t forget the watermelon juice!”
Bai Cai rolled his eyes, “I’ll pick up whatever’s available. You can choose
whether to eat it or not.”
Bai Cai had just stepped out when he ran into Lu Feng.
Brother Cai stood up straight and stopped just short of saluting, “Captain!”
Lu Feng eyed the door to the room, “Wei Xiao woke up?”
Brother Vegetable nodded, “He asked me to bring him up some food.”
Lu Feng: “No need. I called room service. They’ll bring it up in a while.”
Bai Cai thought of that big daddy in the room and said, “He still wants to
drink watermelon juice…”
Lu Feng: “I ordered it.”
A very fine captain who was even very clear on what the little beast liked to
eat.
Bai Cai said, “In that case, I’ll go downstairs to eat first.”
Lu Feng: “Go ahead.”
Lu Feng pushed open the door just to hear the lazy voice of the youth in the
room, “Brother Cai, your legs are really fast. Laozi’s legs hurt, I want to eat
meat, did you bring beef…”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao got up with a swish and saw his captain, who had his uniform
draped over his arm.
“Captain, you’re finished with your work?”
“Mm.”
Wei Xiao’s legs were trembling with pain, but he absolutely didn’t want to
act timid in front of Lu Feng, so he sat up cross legged, “What did you say
just now?”
Lu Feng looked at his exposed calves and asked in return, “Painful?”
Lu Feng: “Did you stretch?”
Wei Xiao: “Ah?”
As an internet addict, it was already a miracle that Brother Xiao could run.
How could he understand anything about stretching?
Lu Feng said, “Come down. If you don’t stretch, it’ll be more painful
tomorrow.”
Wei Xiao didn’t want to move at all. He asked tentatively, “How do you
stretch?”
Lu Feng coaxed him, “I’ll help you.”
Wei Xiao was a huge captain fan who had a deep belief in his words, “It’ll
stop hurting after stretching?”
Lu Feng: “It will hurt a lot less.”
He reluctantly twisted himself out of bed, his thighs quivering with pain.
Ah, it was just a run. Why did it feel like his body was falling apart?
How did the captain manage to run 50 minutes every day!
It was too inhuman!
Lu Feng was really concerned about Wei Xiao. This kid would never sit if
he could lie down, and he would never stand if he could sit. He was so lazy
that his bones were soft, and after suddenly running with him for such a
long time, his body definitely wouldn’t be able to take it.
He’d only gone back to nap for a while, and it was already this painful. It
would be more serious tomorrow.
Lu Feng really just wanted to help him stretch.
And then…
Wei Xiao left hand wrapped around his instep, and he stood on his right leg.
He’d only held the pose for three seconds, “No more, no more…”
Lu Feng supported him by the waist and helped him stretch, “Hold on.”
Wei Xiao kicked up a fuss, “It hurts too much, captain, don’t… don’t do it
so hard… ah….”
The service staff who came to deliver the meal, “……”
Because there were Chinese guests in this area, the hotel had specially
arranged a Chinese speaking staff member.
The little brother listened to the moans and groans at the half-closed door.
He didn’t know whether to press the doorbell or not.
––These two gentlemen inside the room, do you still want your meal?
Or should he help them close the door behind them….

Ch78.1 - God Kim, you’re the one
who needs to keep it up. In all
aspects.
It was just helping Wei Xiao stretch, but Lu Feng still ended up covered in
sweat.
After they were done, Wei Xiao’s body felt a lot more comfortable. He
thought about how he’d howled and wailed, and was very ashamed, “Even
though I was crying, I’m not usually so delicate.”
Really. As he was growing up, he didn’t even complain when he was with
his grandmother and didn’t have enough to eat, yet with the captain…
Lu Feng was stunned for a moment.
Wei Xiao tossed the blame at the captain, “It’s because you’re too good to
me!”
He was considerate and powerful; Wei Xiao suspected that nothing could
defeat his captain.
Lu Feng looked at the 19 year old boy in front of him, and much of the
desire in his heart dissipated.
Although he was only two years younger than him, Wei Xiao was really
still a child.
A half grown youth who’d had an extreme shortage of care, one who was
eager to be cared for.
How strong he’d been when he was a child was related to how childish he
would be when he found support.
Wei Xiao was depending on him.
This understanding made the corners of Lu Feng’s lips hook up.
Great. He was only 19 now, so everything could proceed slowly.
Lu Feng got up, “I’ll go ask about lunch.”
It had been over 10 minutes and should have been delivered by now.
Wei Xiao moved his hands and feet, “I asked Old Bai to send up food.” Was
that guy planning to come up only after he’d eaten his fill.
Lu Feng explained for Bai Cai, “I ran into him when I came in just now and
told him not to send anything.”
Wei Xiao understood. He then asked, “Captain, have you eaten?”
Lu Feng: “Not yet.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes brightened, “Together?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao’s happiness overflowed in his words, “That’s great!”
Lu Feng looked at his smile and wanted to ask him why he was so happy.
Wei Xiao had already continued in delight, “You can eat the celery, while I
eat the meat, we’re really a team made in heaven!”
Lu Feng: “………………”
The great demon king was put in an awkward position. Wei Xiaoxiao plus
celery, this was really too difficult.
Today’s points competition still had nothing to do with FTW. They were
reduced to being the emperor of the bench after having played four games
and could only watch the people on the stage play happily.
Wei Xiao’s eyes were heated up from watching, and he tried to collude with
others left and right, “Old G, how about a training match!”
Old G was happy, “Okay!”
VIVI laughed, “Your words don’t count.”
Old G came back to his senses and looked regretfully at Wei Xiao, “Oh, my
words don’t count.”
Wei Xiao egged him on, “Go to your captain and act coquettish. His words
count!”
Yuan Ze wasn’t at the scene. He’d probably gone out to smoke.
Old G’s face was bewildered, “Coquettish?”
Wei Xiao: “Yeah, yeah, yeah, when your captain comes, climb up and roll
all over the place. Don’t get up until he lets you make an appointment for a
training match.”
The FTW crowd: Brother Xiao, your English is really good. You can even
explain something like this clearly!
The L&P crowd: Quiet’s English is no good, what is he talking about? How
can Old G roll around and around on the floor like a brat?
Gary obviously underestimated Wei Xiao’s English level. He thought that

he’d spoken wrongly, so he asked him again.
Wei Xiao thought it over, “If your captain doesn’t go for that kind of thing,
you can become a crying beauty who yingyingying cries until he nods.”
Alright, this guy’s English was very good. It was more fluent than Old G’s
Chinese! He was very clear about what he was saying!
Old G refused him seriously, “How could I do that!”
If he dared to do so, he’d be hammered into a pig’s head by the captain at

any minute.
Wei Xiao tempted him, “How would you know if you don’t try? Your
captain really cares about you.”
Gary wondered out loud, “How come I don’t know that my captain cares
about me?”
Wei Xiao was surprised, “Your captain doesn’t?”
Old G: “……”
Wei Xiao: “If he doesn’t care about you, then to hell with your top-jungler
linkage. Hurry and…”
Yuan Ze: “Heh.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Halfway through arranging the rebellion, the proper master came back.
However, Wei Xiao was shameless and wouldn’t be embarrassed by this at

all. He lifted his face and smiled at Yuan Ze, “Captain Yuan, you’re back.”
Yuan Ze looked at his clean and clear eyes that held no trace of haze, and
his hands itched: How did Close deal with this little beast who had an
angel’s face and an evil demon’s heart!
Lu Feng pressed his own cub back down, “Watch the game.”
Wei Xiao was well-behaved and obedient, “’Kay.”
Yuan Ze, who’d been left hanging, “……”
What made it more tragic was that his own pig teammate was still asking
him, “Captain, are you taking it seriously…”
Yuan Ze’s goosebumps popped right out, and he conked the big fool on the
head, “If you motherf*cking had one third of that brat’s cleverness, we’d
have three consecutive championships by now!”
He spoke in Chinese, and Old G was very wronged as he half-understood,

“My mother is very clever…”
Old Dog Yuan: “……”
Who dared to think that as someone who was famous in Glory’s

international circles, who had a language buff and was proficient in eight
languages, this Old Dog Yuan who had countless foreign friends, would end
up having the tables turned on him so thoroughly, frequently, and painfully!
It was unknown if Old G’s ‘acting coquettish’ actually worked, or if it was

Wei Xiao’s provocation that was effective.
That night, L&P took the initiative to invite FTW to a training match. Not
for points, but they opened a room for 5v5 in private.
Wei Xiao was happy, “Not bad, Old G.”
Brother Cai: “Heh heh…”
Everyone knew that Brother G was innocent in this. You were the real
culprit!
The training match was relatively relaxed. Although L&P’s Yuan Ze came
up to fight, their mid-lane VIVi didn’t play. A substitute was switched in
instead, and it seemed that they were training their people.
FTW didn’t look down on it. Each fight they had was beneficial to them,
and they wouldn’t be concerned over such things.
The two sides played BO3 (whoever reaches two wins first, three games
max). FTW only won the first small game.
Sure enough, they were still a strong team even after switching in a
substitute.
However, a strong team’s substitutes were also very good top-level players.
L&P training room.
Gary spoke, “Although I can’t beat Little Lunatic Q when it comes to

speaking, I can beat him in a fight!”
Yuan Ze had a cigarette in his mouth. He sneered, “It won’t be long before
you can’t beat him.”
Gary didn’t believe it, “He’s growing fast, but we’re not bad either!”
Yuan Ze blew out a smoke ring and laughed, “Additional training when we
go back.”
Gary wasn’t afraid at all, “Okay!”
Only when there was a sense of crisis would there be any progress. How
could anyone riding on the front wave be willing to accept getting slapped
to death by the wave behind them?
Yuan Ze was really looking forward to this year’s global competition.
Originally, everyone thought that Wei Xiao would be done with jogging
after trying it out. Who could’ve known that he would wake up again the
next day?
This time, he didn’t set an alarm clock or have Lu Feng wake him up. He
climbed out of bed when he heard the sounds of movement.
Lu Feng looked at his dazed and confused appearance and thought that he
was going to sleepwalk again.
Wei Xiao tilted his head and looked at him with a tearful expression,
“Captain~”
His cry made Lu Feng want to take a cold shower early in the morning, “Go
back to sleep if you’re tired.”
Wei Xiao clutched at his head, rubbed his face, and spoke energetically,
“Run!”
Sometimes, he really had no choice but to admire Wei Xiaoxiao. Once he

decided on something, he would grit his teeth and persevere.
He said he wanted them to run together, and he really tried hard to get up
early and run.
On the third day of morning runs, Wei Xiao was still more dead than alive
after the run.
The good thing was that Lu Feng was already immunized and didn’t need to
take cold showers every day anymore.
Wei Xiao’s physique was really average.
Lu Feng remembered that he was still alright two years ago––he had the
energy to solo for 48 hours, so his physical strength couldn’t be that
terrible.
Wei Xiao was awkward and embarrassed, “These two years passed in a
confused daze.”
He spoke vaguely, but Lu Feng understood.
Two years ago, Wei Xiao’s grandma had still been alive. Wei Xiao had been
doing things from childhood, and even if he didn’t purposely do physical
exercise, he was doing housework every day to help out the household.
Unfortunately, he’d been indulging himself over the past two years.
His grandma passed away, his dreams were shattered, and all the happiness
he felt was superficial.
Bai Cai took him to do accompanying training, and he made money, but he
didn’t have anywhere to spend it.
Additionally, every training game, and every solo game, was torture in
disguise for Wei Xiao.
He watched others work hard for the game, watched others burn brightly on
the field…
Wei Xiao could only feel envy in his heart.
During these two murky years, Wei Xiao was focused on either playing
games or learning. Exercising was definitely not on the list.
Going around in circles walking Soybean was already the limit.
When he heard this, Lu Feng really wanted to take Wei Xiao to exercise
with him.
19 was still young, and he could afford to indulge.
However, the body was really important, especially for professional

players…
Lu Feng’s shoulder pricked slightly, and his heart plummeted.
“Breathe with me.” Lu Feng taught Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao was confused, “Ah?”
Lu Feng slowed down and fell into step beside him, “Inhale, two steps,
exhale, two steps…” There was technique to running. Before, he’d just felt
that Wei Xiao was messing around temporarily and would stop running
after a few days. Who could’ve expected that he would follow him to run
for so many days.
Since he wanted to run, he should run in a scientific manner, so as to

achieve the best effect.
Wei Xiao followed his breathing and soon learned the rhythm, “It doesn’t
seem as hard to breathe like this.”
Lu Feng: “Take your time.”
Wei Xiao said sincerely, “Captain, you’re really too amazing.”
How could there be a man as amazing as Close? He even regretted that he

wasn’t a woman!
F*ck!
Wei Xiaoxiao was frightened by his own silly thoughts!
“Quiet?” Kim Sung-hyun’s Korean-accented English came from beside

them.
Wei Xiao came back to his senses and noticed God Kim, who was a small
distance away from them on the lawn.
Kim Sung-hyun was also out for a morning run. He wore a white short-
sleeved shirt, black shorts, and his sport shoes were expensive, limited
edition Air Jordans, the type that was more suited to be put out on display.
Wei Xiao greeted him.
Kim Sung-hyun took a few steps forward to catch up, “You got dragged out
for a run by your captain?”
Wei Xiao spoke righteously, “It’s me that’s relying on my captain and

insisted on having him take me out for a run!”
Kim Sung-hyun choked for half a second, “… You’re really capable.”
Wei Xiao started nagging at him, “How is Captain Li?”
Once this matter was brought up, Kim Sung-hyun sighed, “Much better.”
Wei Xiao: “Can he play in the last day’s prize pool competition?”
Kim Sung-hyun sneered, “Don’t worry, it’s not a problem to hammer you
until you explode.”
Wei Xiao was excited, “Okay! I’m waiting for you guys!”
He always felt that trash talking with this brat was meaningless. His aura
and momentum all bounced back on him!
The hotel garden was quite big, but only the three of them had come out for
a run.
Kim Sung-hyun was bored running alone, so he came over and joined them.
Wei Xiao chatted with him on and off.
Lu Feng reminded him, “Breathing.”
Wei Xiao quickly steadied his breathing, but after a few breaths, he couldn’t
help showing off, “My captain taught me this. It’s so useful!”
Kim Sung-hyun: “…..” Who didn’t know how to do this? Why the hell
were you showing off.
Kim Sung-hyun looked at Lu Feng, and his heart felt sour for a moment.
They’d been the same height three years ago, but now he was half a head
taller.
Not to mention the figure underneath his clothes; tsk tsk, Little Close, are
you planning to make a debut as a model after retiring?
Old Kim felt very sour, “Your captain is really capable. He won’t have any
occupational diseases even if he plays for another ten years.”
These were words that Wei Xiao loved to hear, “I think so too. There are so
many people who can play professionally, but when it comes to how long
they can last, nobody can beat my captain.”
Kim Sung-hyun was envious, “If Old Li had started exercising earlier, he
wouldn’t be as miserable now.”
Wei Xiao was very concerned, “It should still be okay to start exercising
now.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Yes, working up a sweat every day can relieve the
symptoms.”
Wei Xiao was worried when he heard this, “Is the physiotherapy effective?”
Kim Sung-hyun: “The problem was discovered early and treated early. As
long as he doesn’t tire himself too much, it’s not a big problem.”
Wei Xiao was relieved, “That’s good.”
Kim Sung-hyun was full of self-confidence, “Don’t worry, this year, the
championship cup will belong to Pro.”
Wei Xiao didn’t accept these words, “What are you thinking, the world
championship cup is surnamed ‘F’ this year.”
What a coincidence, in the entire league, only FTW started with the letter F.
Kim Sung-hyun wanted to say that it was surnamed ‘P’, but then he
remembered that there were three seeded teams in the league that started
with the letter P…
F*ck, he’d lost!
Lu Feng and Wei Xiao had gone out for their run 20 minutes earlier, but
they ended up going back together with Kim Sung-hyun.
Wei Xiao even had the nerve to disdain others, “God Kim, you really can’t
do it.”
Kim Sung-hyun was so tired he didn’t want to talk, “Shut up!”
Wei Xiao spoke complacently, “My captain has already reduced his speed.
You don’t know this, but a few days ago, he left me half dead.”

Proud Flower Kim knew about Lu Feng’s sexual orientation. For a while,
he didn’t know if he should feel pity or compassion and sympathy, “Keep it
up.”
He was encouraging his former teammate.
Wei Xiao replied for his captain, “God Kim, you’re the one who needs to
keep it up. In all aspects.”
FTW was poisonous. Back then, there was Old Dog Yuan, and now there
was Little Lunatic Wei.
Was their fengshui really okay?!

Ch78.2 - His heart thumped, and
he saw his own thoughts clearly at
this moment...
At lunch, Ning Zhehan heard about Wei Xiao’s ‘great achievements’ and
was full of admiration.
Wei Xiao was both low-key and lively as he said, “It’s nothing much.
Running is very simple, as long as you breathe every two steps, inhaling
every two steps and exhaling every two steps, maintain a steady breathing
rhythm and improve your speed to keep up with the captain’s pace, it’s like
a passers-by team meeting a professional team in 5v5. Just run and be done
with it.”
Brother Cai, who was gnawing on a lobster, “It’s really a waste for you not
to go and perform crosstalk.”
Wei Xiao looked at him, “Crosstalk on my own is boring. Old Bai, give me
some praise.”
Brother Cai had enough, “Get lost!”
When Lu Feng, Chen Feng, and Tang Chen came over, Wei Xiao had
already egged on the whole team, “Come running, it’s fun and exciting!”
What could they say? What could they, as adults, say to this bratty child?!
Tang Chen stepped up, “What running, go swimming instead.”

As soon as he said this, Wei Xiao instantly realized, “Oh yeah!”
They were staying on a holiday island. Why were they doing boring
running and not playing around by going swimming?
Chen Feng staggered. He really wanted to hammer Tang Chen to death!
Would you die if you spoke less?!
Was swimming something a human would do?!
Wei Xiao was encouraged, “Fellow brothers, let’s not go running. We’ll go
to the sea and go wild!”
Ning Zhehan was interested, “I-I brought swimming trunks!”
Brother Cai wasn’t interested at all, “I’m sleeping.”
Wei Xiao glared at him, “Do you believe that I’ll throw your suitcase into
the sea.”
Brother Cai’s heart leapt, “Wei Xiao, f*ck your daddy, if you dare to covet
my suitcase, I’ll f*cking fight you!”
If his 66,000 dollar suitcase sank to the bottom of the sea, he’d follow it and
jump into the water!
Half of FTW was interested, but it was still a certain person who was in
charge.
Wei Xiao looked at Lu Feng, “Captain, how about going swimming!”
He didn’t know if the things he’d taught Old G were useful or not, but in
any case, his own coquettish skills were maxed out.
Chen Feng turned his head to look at Lu Feng and thought to himself: Hold
on, hold on, you can’t agree. Going wild in the sea, that is something you
can resist!
Wei Xiao looked at him with wide eyes, “How about it?”
Lu Feng: “…… Alright.”
Coach Chen, pwned.
This matter was settled. At 10AM tomorrow morning, the FTW team’s
itinerary––going wild in the sea, er, no, swimming.
They’d been training for nearly ten days. Going out to relax and play for a
bit wasn’t a bad thing.
It wasn’t easy for them to come to a resort, and it would be difficult to

explain away if they didn’t relax for a while.
Xiang Liu arranged the itinerary and even found a set of uniform swimming
trunks.
Brother Liu explained, “The sponsors were prepared. They said that if
there’s a swimming event, they recommend taking a daily life photo.”
It might not be the case for other teams, but FTW was notoriously strong in
the looks department. If they really made a swimming poster, the traffic to
the official blog would explode, and the sponsor’s small logo would also
follow suit and rise up to the skies.
Unfortunately, Xiang Liu didn’t dare to mess around with such things and
asked Lu Feng for his opinion first.
Lu Feng looked at the swimming trunks, and the image of Wei Xiaoxiao’s
slim waist came up in his brain…
“No photos.”
The great demon king refused directly.

Xiang Liu wasn’t surprised. FTW didn’t need to rely on these things to
make money. It had always been focused on its main purpose.
The team’s high level looks wasn’t intentional: there was no need to
mention Brother Cai, a fine and tender youth (not really). Back then, Old
Yue had been recommended by Brother Cai, and FTW was already super
happy to have a reliable marksman and didn’t have the time to spare to care
about how they looked; Ning Zhehan had been signed after FTW had won
the domestic championship and felt the most confident, and this future
mage king who’d been bought back at a high price of 3 million hadn’t been
signed because of his fashionable style.
As for Wei Xiao, who’d finally returned to the team.
Who could’ve known that the grandmaster would look like this? Previously,
Xiang Liu had made up a bald, fat man in his head when it came to the
grandmaster!
As of now, any casual photo taken of FTW’s five players looked like they
all wanted to make their idol debut. Xiang Liu’s life was very difficult.
He was clearly the manager of an e-sports club. How come it was like he
was leading a boyband?!
Especially when it came to their online fans. Any inattentiveness would

lead them to becoming stars of the entertainment industry.
They had more haters than fans, but the fans were more fierce than the
haters. Their quarrels were enough to overturn the heavens and shake the
earth.
FTW’s operations team was also very tired, okay? In order to have fans
focus on the players’ competitions instead of their faces, they didn’t have it
easy!
The next day, everyone got up early.

Lu Feng watched as the clock moved closer to ten o’clock, and his mood
was very complex.
He pushed aside the papers in front of him and leaned back in his chair.
Swimming.
To go or not to go.
He thought of Wei Xiao’s bright smile and wasn’t willing to let him down.
He thought of his bared body and clingy appearance, and Lu Feng felt that
he was really suffering.
Self-inflicted suffering made it difficult to live.
He hadn’t expected that these words would one day end up pasted onto the
great demon king’s forehead.
The FTW crowd ran into Yuan Ze when they went downstairs.
Yuan Ze was surprised, “This is…”
Lu Feng: “We’re going for a run together, coming?”
Yuan Ze was shocked, “No, no.”
F*ck, was something wrong with FTW? They were going downstairs
together so early in the morning for a run?!
Wei Xiao couldn’t hear their conversation. If he had, he would definitely go

over to add fuel to the fire by saying a few more sentences.
Since FTW didn’t intend to take daily life pictures of the team members on
the beach, it was even more impossible to let others take photos of them.
They found a clean stretch of beach to play on.

Everyone wore their team uniforms on the way downstairs, with their
swimming trunks inside. They just had to take off their uniforms to go into
the water.
Ning Zhehan couldn’t swim. He was very happy just holding onto a dolphin
buoy; Old Yue was astonishingly pale when he removed his clothing,
worthy of being Glory’s notorious little white face; Brother Cai knew how
to swim and had already gone off to play.
Tang Chen was the darkest in the team. He clutched at the back of his head
and said, “This isn’t right, I don’t normally feel that I’m very dark, hey.”
His skin was a wheat color, how come it seemed so tan when he compared
it to the others?!
Wei Xiao’s skin color wasn’t as pale as Yue Wenle, nor was he as thin and
white as Brother Cai. His figure was very good. He didn’t have much
muscle, but he didn’t appear weak. He took off his clothes and revealed his
waistline, slender and pale and particularly attractive.
Lu Feng glanced over once, then shifted his gaze away.
Chen Feng didn’t go into the water. He hid beneath the sun umbrella and
sneered, “Happy?”
Wei Xiao looked around everywhere for the captain, and ran over to say,
“Captain, hurry up, they’re all in the water.”
Lu Feng didn’t know where to look, “You go and play, I’ll wait for you
here.”
Wei Xiao was surprised, “You’re not coming?”
Chen Feng saved him, “Your captain can’t swim.”
Wei Xiao was startled, “Ah?”

Lu Feng remained silent.
Wei Xiao’s tone was rueful, “Why didn’t you say so earlier? If you can’t
swim, why did we come to the seaside to play?”
Lu Feng’s heart warmed, “You guys play.”
Wei Xiao was unwilling to accept this and continued, “I’ll find you a
swimming ring.”
Chen Feng continued to save his boss, “Don’t do that. It’s okay for Little
Ning to use a floating ring, but if your captain takes one and enters the
water, hm… isn’t that too shameful?”
Wei Xiao: “…………” That was true.
He looked regretfully at Lu Feng, “Next time, we won’t go play in the

water.”
Lu Feng looked down a little and saw the youth’s healthy, beautiful body
beneath the sun…
He thought to himself that it wasn’t a bad idea not to go play, but his mouth
said, “Go play, everyone’s waiting for you.”
Wei Xiao left reluctantly. Lu Feng sat on the beach chair and drank a big
mouthful of ice water.
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes, “Say, does Little Lunatic Wei really not
understand what you’re thinking?”
Chen Feng answered for him, “He really doesn’t.”
As long as he understood even a little, he wouldn’t dare to go so wild!
Although Lu Feng didn’t join them, FTW’s four little ones all had a good
time.
They were all half grown-up youths. Normally, other than training, it was
just more training. Playing in the water occasionally was really a happy
occurrence.
Wei Xiao was a good swimmer. He knew breaststroke and freestyle, and at
the end, he pretended to do a butterfly stroke.
Tang Chen cheered for him and casually revealed, “Close’s butterfly is
super handsome!”
Wei Xiao: “???”
He got out of the water and pushed back his wet hair, “Captain, butterfly?”
Brother Tang sold Chen Feng out all the way to the sky, “Yeah, it’s really
amazing. That strength is absolute.”
Wei Xiao didn’t say another word and rushed towards the beach.
Chen Feng was chatting with Lu Feng and was taken by surprise when he
saw him heading over with a murderous aura.
Wei Xiao was wet all over. The water beads on his clean body shone in the
sun.
Lu Feng picked up the towel beside him and threw it at his body.
Wei Xiao wiped his face with the towel and said indignantly, “Captain, you
lied to me!”
Wei Xiao was too excited, and his foot landed unsteadily. He called out
‘ouch’…
Lu Feng immediately got up and pulled the youth into his arms.
Wei Xiao clung to him, his entire person sticking against his body. How
could Lu Feng’s thin t-shirt withstand this body covered with water?
Lu Feng’s heart pounded, and his blood surged through his body.
Wei Xiao raised his head. His eyes that were damp with water were brighter
than usual, “Brother Tang said that your butterfly stroke is really handsome!
But you said that you can’t swim!”
Sure enough, there was nothing that his captain couldn’t do.
Lu Feng took a breath, “I didn’t say I couldn’t swim.”
He thought about it. Just now, it was all their coach talking, and Lu Feng
hadn’t said anything.
Wei Xiao was still dissatisfied, “Then, why not go into the water!”
Lu Feng’s voice was a little hoarse, “Today, I… I don’t feel comfortable.”
Wei Xiao could hear it in his voice. He looked at him, “A cold?”
This hoarse voice, um…
Wei Xiao’s ears inexplicably began to burn.
Lu Feng helped him stand up properly and steadied his heartbeat, “A little.”
Wei Xiao grew anxious, “Rest early. If your body isn’t comfortable, don’t
try to brave it out. Go back and quickly get some rest.”
Lu Feng wrapped him up tightly in the bath towel, “You should also go
back earlier.”
Lu Feng really left. If he didn’t leave now, he would end up carrying Wei
Xiao away with him.
Chen Feng, who was to the side, had to endure Wei Xiaoxiao’s endless
chattering.
Come on, talk as you like. There will come a time when you can’t say
anything.
Because he missed Lu Feng, Wei Xiao didn’t play for long before going
back upstairs.
He’d already gotten dressed, but his hair was still wet, “Captain?”
Lu Feng was calm now, “You’re back?”
Wei Xiao was strangely nervous, “Are you a little better now?”
He reached out towards his forehead.
Lu Feng caught his hand, “It’s fine.”
Wei Xiao: “If you feel uncomfortable, don’t force it.”
Lu Feng nodded. He couldn’t quite move his gaze away.
Wei Xiao felt a little itchy from being watched, “Is there something on my
face?”
Lu Feng came back to his senses and changed the subject, “These last few
days… are you doing all this because of Li Heran.”
One sentence poked straight into Wei Xiao’s thoughts. Wei Xiao dropped
his eyes.
Lu Feng felt his heart soften into a mess when he saw him like this.
He got up early to run with him, and insisted even when he was extremely
tired. Today, he led the whole team to take part in an outdoor activity…
How could Lu Feng not understand?
It had all started from when Li Heran couldn’t go up and play.
Although he didn’t know what Wei Xiao’s little brain was thinking, he
could confirm that it was related to hazards of occupational diseases.
Wei Xiao spoke in a small voice, “That day, I heard Kim Sung-hyun and Li
Heran arguing.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao’s heart suddenly clenched, and the fear that had originally
retreated started to spread out again, “So I thought, if you were like in
Captain Li’s situation, I…”
Lu Feng’s heart trembled. An indescribable emotion filled up his entire

chest.
He’d guessed a bit of it, but he hadn’t thought that it would be like this.
Was Wei Xiao so haunted by fear because of him?
Lu Feng’s voice was gentle, “It won’t be like that.”
Wei Xiao looked up at him, “Of course it won’t. You exercise every day,
your body is in good shape, and you’ll definitely play longer than anyone
else!”
Lu Feng’s voice felt like it was being blocked by something and it was
somewhat difficult to speak, “Don’t worry, I’ll accompany you until the
end.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes brightened, “We’ll retire together?”
Lu Feng: “Yes, we’ll retire together.”
The cloud that had hovered around Wei Xiao for several days suddenly
dispersed. He trusted Lu Feng, trusted Close, and believed every word he
said.
“I’m only 19 now. I can still play for six or seven years at least!”
Lu Feng laughed softly, “Yes.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved into crescent moons, “Then, it’s a deal?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
It was a very, very lightly spoken word, but the weight of it was very heavy.
Wei Xiao’s chest seemed to be filled with marshmallows. At this time,

because of Lu Feng’s gaze, the marshmallows were completely melted,
sticky and sweet, filling up his entire heart.
Accompany you to the end.
Deal.
Wei Xiao didn’t blink as he looked at Lu Feng. The more he looked, the
more he liked what he saw.
His heart thumped, and he saw his own thoughts clearly at this moment––
He was done for.
He actually wanted to marry the captain!
xiin: FINALLY WX YOU’RE STARTING TO UNDERSTAND…

Ch79.1 - Wei Xiao: Damn it, he had
so many love rivals!
“You slipped just now. Is your foot alright?”
Lu Feng was still concerned about the way Wei Xiao’s foot had landed
unsteadily when he was on the beach. Although Wei Xiao had then gone to
play in the water again, he’d been unable to let it go.
He was worried that Wei Xiao was being too careless and wouldn’t be
concerned even if he’d hurt himself.
Wei Xiao abruptly came back to his senses, “Ah?”
Lu Feng said, “Sit down.”
Wei Xiao, who’d just been knocked over by his own thoughts, sat down on
the bed. Lu Feng bent down and pressed his clean, slender hand over his
ankle, “Does it hurt?”
Wei Xiao’s brain was buzzing. It had exploded.
Lu Feng looked up at him, “Hm?”
Wei Xiao’s cheeks turned red, and his voice trembled, “Itchy…” It was so
itchy. The place that the captain was touching was so itchy that it made his
heart jump around wildly.
Lu Feng quickly snatched his hand back, his movements so fast it was like
he’d been scalded.
Wei Xiao might claim to be a beast, but he’d never thought that he’d really
be such an animal. He took a deep breath and jumped out of bed, saying, “It
doesn’t hurt, it’s fine. I’m going to go blow-dry my hair!”
A whole pot of hot water seemed to be boiling in Lu Feng’s brain. How

could he continue the conversation?
After hiding in the bathroom, Wei Xiao lifted his hand and pressed down on
his heart.
God, were human hearts really able to beat so fast?
Was it f*cking dancing and bouncing around in Laozi’s body?!
Wei Xiao couldn’t keep his gaze from shifting down. He stared at his left
ankle.
The scene from just now popped into his head repeatedly, pew pew pew.
The captain looked gentle and handsome. His hands, which were known as
the most expensive and good looking hands, had held onto his ankle…
A numbing electric shock ran all the way from his ankle all over his body,
making his cheeks burn hot.
Wei Xiao looked at the ‘feverish’ self in the mirror. He took a deep breath:
Who exactly had caught a cold here?!
Ahhhhh…
Wei Xiao turned on the hair dryer, switching the settings to cold air and
blowing it straight at his head.
Calm down!
Old Wei, calm the hell down!
That was the captain! It was Close, it was Glory’s number one person. That
was the faith that you chased!
After splashing himself with cold water and blowing dry his damp hair with
cold air, Wei Xiao ‘achieved his wish’ and sneezed loudly.
The hair dryer wasn’t loud. The sound of his sneezing transmitted into the
room.
Lu Feng came back to his senses and started to worry again––had he caught
a cold? His face was so red just now, did he have a fever?
Lu Feng wanted to go take a look, but after he placed his hand on the
handle, he couldn’t bring himself to press down.
He’d wait for a bit, wait until he was finished blow-drying his hair and
came back out.
Wei Xiao finished blow-drying his hair and successfully calmed himself
down.
It was just that he was a little cold now. It seemed that the temperature had
dropped a lot.
As soon as he came out, Lu Feng handed him a cup of hot water, “Did you
catch a cold?”
Wei Xiao accepted the hot water. He was just about to say no when he
sneezed again.
Lu Feng’s eyebrows drew together, “Did you take a cold shower just now?”
Wei Xiao raised his head. His eyes were full of damp mist, “Mm…”
The hotel had a special shower room for guests coming out of the sea. Wei
Xiao didn’t want to track sand and sediment into the building, so he’d
rinsed himself with the water downstairs.
Although it was winter in China, it was summer on the island. The water
temperature was cool, and Wei Xiao had felt very comfortable during the
shower.
Lu Feng continued to ask, “Did you run up here before drying off?”
Wei Xiao had been anxious to come up and see the captain, so he’d only
wiped himself down briefly before running upstairs.
Lu Feng thought about his damp hair and knew that he wasn’t wrong.
“Wait.”
Lu Feng pressed him down onto the bed.
Wei Xiao was so regretful he could die. If he hadn’t blown cold air at
himself just now, he wouldn’t have caught a cold.
But, at the time, if he hadn’t done so, he was afraid that he might have done
some sort of beastly thing!
Ahhhhh.
Had he gone crazy.
How could he be attracted to the captain!
It wasn’t spring yet. Why was he thinking of falling in love!
And it was with Close, damnit…
Wei Xiao nestled inside the quilt and felt that he was mostly done for.
A 19 year old youth. He’d lived to such an age without ever thinking about
such things.
Yet suddenly, when he picked up a crush, it was for another man.
Wei Xiaoxiao, who wasn’t even afraid of the heavens and earth, was
quaking now.
What to do…
He was too ashamed to see the captain!
Lu Feng soon came back with a bowl of ginger tea in his hands.
Xiang Liu always had standard medicine on hand. He’d brought some of it
upstairs but didn’t rush to feed it to Wei Xiao. If he’d caught a cold, he
should drink some ginger tea first to warm up, and it should reduce the
severity of whatever he had.
When Wei Xiao heard the door open, he simply decided to close his eyes.
He was too ashamed to see him and closed his eyes for a while.
Lu Feng’s movements were very light. His voice was gentle, seeming to
sound out right beside his ear, “Asleep?”
F*ck, why didn’t he feel that the captain’s voice was charged with
electricity before this?!
Wei Xiao opened his eyes with a swish, looking at him with wide eyes.
Lu Feng coaxed him, “Drink a bowl of ginger tea and get some sleep.
You’ll be fine by afternoon.”
Wei Xiao sat up and looked at the steaming, hot bowl of tea. His mood was
complicated, “Captain… weren’t you the one who caught a cold.”
Lu Feng had forgotten all about this. He’d pretended to be sick earlier just
to stay out of the water.
Lu Feng faked a cough, “You shouldn’t catch a cold as well.”
Wei Xiao didn’t want to drink the ginger tea. He was hesitating and
dragging out his motions.
Lu Feng saw through it, “You don’t like the spiciness?”

This kid was very picky about food. He didn’t like spicy, sour, bitter, or
even particularly salty tastes. He liked to eat watermelon, the crispy and
sweet type, and would treat half a watermelon as a full meal. It was no
wonder that he was so thin.
Not only did Wei Xiao dislike spiciness, he also felt that the fire in his heart
was a little too strong and drinking ginger tea wasn’t appropriate.
As a lonely, single man in the shared dormitory, he was afraid that the
captain would be in danger.
Lu Feng tasted it, “There’s sugar in it. The taste isn’t bad.”
Lu Feng continued, “I’ll go get more sugar…”
How could he be willing to let the captain run around for him twice? Even
before Lu Feng could finish speaking, Wei Xiao had picked up the tea bowl,
closed his eyes, and downed it all in one go.
Spicy… hot… and a little sweet.
Wei Xiao frowned and set down the bowl, “Done!”
Lu Feng looked at the damp lip stains that were overlapped on the tea bowl,
and his eyes flashed.
Wei Xiao only realized after the fact that the place where he’d drunk the
ginger tea from coincided with the place where Lu Feng had sipped from
before to taste it.
An in-indirect kiss?
Wei Xiao: “!”
He didn’t mean to, he really hadn’t meant to!
Even though he indeed had hidden intentions.

Lu Feng set down the tea bowl and covered him with the quilt, “Rest for a
while.”
Wei Xiao was well-behaved and lay down, looking at him, “What about
you, captain?”
“Your throat is uncomfortable. Did you take some medicine?”
“Yes.”
“Won’t you rest for a while?”
Wei Xiao felt that he was going crazy, “Stay and keep me company?”
Lu Feng looked at his cheeks that were flushed from his cold. His heart
leapt.
Wei Xiao felt like he’d died after he said those words.
However, he was worthy of being Naughty God Wei; his mouth was braver
than his brain, “Since we both have a cold, isn’t it better to sleep together
and sweat it out?”
Wei Xiao was shocked at himself: F*ck, Laozi was really a beast!
Lu Feng really didn’t dare to agree. This brat’s mouth had no filter and was
willing to joke about anything, but he couldn’t do the same.
If they slept together in this kind of situation…
Lu Feng flicked his forehead, “Sleep.”
It wasn’t the first or even the second time that Wei Xiao had had his
forehead flicked, but it was the first time it made his eyebrows feel itchy, so
itchy that he grew brave again, “Are you going to leave?”
Lu Feng: “I’ll wait until you’re asleep.”

Wei Xiao’s mouth was filled with sweetness, like the ginger tea just now
had transformed into honey tea. “When I was a child and caught a cold, my
grandma would also keep me company like this.”
Wei Xiao was more energetic the more he thought about it, “And she’d put
her hand here.”
He reached out his arm and placed Lu Feng’s hand on his forehead.
Both of them were stunned for a moment.
Wei Xiao’s forehead wasn’t hot, but Lu Feng’s hand was very hot.
One of them felt scalded, and the other one… also felt scalded.
Lu Feng retrieved his hand, “Sleeping or not?”
Wei Xiao felt incredibly guilty, “Sleeping!”
And he really fell asleep…
He’d slept late and gotten up early because he’d been excited about playing
in the water that morning.
Additionally, he’d really caught a bit of a cold and dazedly fell asleep.
Wei Xiao had a dream.
In just one hour, he actually managed to have a very long dream.
He dreamed that he was standing on a stage filled with bright lights,

holding the dazzling championship cup as he spoke to Lu Feng, “I like
you!”
All the glory, all the passion of youth, all given to this one person.
The one who’d pulled him out of the mud and given him new life.
Close.
His captain.
When Wei Xiao woke up, Lu Feng was long gone.
He looked at the time and was relieved; it was only twelve o’clock, so there
was no need to panic.
Bai Cai came to find him to go eat together.
Wei Xiao was absent-minded as he played with his cell phone.
Brother Cai had also gone to catch up on sleep. He yawned, “What are you
looking at?”
Wei Xiao was startled and quickly hid away his cell phone.
Brother Cai was suspicious, “So mysterious. What are you doing.”
Wei Xiao pushed him away, “Go and get some food. Laozi’s hungry.”
Bai Cai’s words were full of disdain for him, “Don’t you f*cking have
hands of your own!” But his body was honest, and he brought back a lot of
delicious food.
Wei Xiao was very busy. He sat down and started to baidu seriously.
He didn’t quite remember the dream he’d had that noon very clearly, but the
idea that remained on the tip of his heart was–– like you.
F*ck, he liked Lu Feng. He liked Close. He liked the captain!
It was that kind of like. Exactly, the gay type of like!
Aftre three seconds of psychological struggle, Wei Xiao accepted the fact
that he was gay.
In any case, he hadn’t liked anyone before in his first 19 years of life. Now,
he liked who he liked.
It didn’t matter if it was male or female. The important point was that it was
the captain.
After recognizing his own feelings, Wei Xiao had countless concerns.
First of all, he’d fallen in love with his immediate boss. Office romance,
give it a try?
Secondly, he’d fallen in love with his life mentor. Teacher-student (not
really) romance, give it a try?
Thirdly, he’d fallen in love with a man who had tens of thousands of
madame fans and wife fans. Idol romance, give it a try?
Lastly, he’d fallen in love with a man whose sexual orientation was
unknown. Unrequited love, give it a try?
Ah…
Wei Xiao’s life was too difficult.
Baidu was going to explode from his searches.
A furtive office romance was very sweet, a teacher-student love was taboo
and a little abusive, idol love was risky and may affect his reputation,
finally, being lovelorn…
Well, who would’ve thought that there wasn’t even the slightest sign of the
start of a romance, but Wei Xiaoxiao had already started looking through
how to recover from a failed romance.
Preparation averts peril.
After all, there was a 70% chance of failure.
It was about the same rate as his solo games against the captain.
After searching through these things, Wei Xiao switched to a new set of
keywords––Close, romance.
Tens of thousands of results popped up, and there were even YY novels:
My secret love affair with God Lu. I’m God Lu’s only woman. Those years
as Close’s hidden lover. I got married to God Lu.
Damn it, he had so many love rivals!
He changed keywords again––Close, same sex.
Oh, geez. There were even more results. As a man with a list of CPs as long
as the Great Wall, he ‘loved’ a countless number of men!
What the hell could he find like this.
Let alone sexual orientation, just searching like this left Wei Xiao with a
mouthful of vinegar.
When Brother Cai came back, Wei Xiao was still staring at his cell phone.
“Are you eating or not!” He couldn’t figure out what this fellow had gone
off to do this time.
Wei Xiao put down his cell phone and started to eat absentmindedly.
Bai Cai: “Eat if you’re going to eat. Don’t waste food if you’re not eating.”
Wei Xiao really didn’t have much of an appetite. He looked at the innocent
Brother Cai and sighed, “I envy you.”
Wei Xiao shook his head and ate some pasta.

Telling him was impossible. He couldn’t tell anyone about this, including
Brother Cai.
The captain’s identity was too special. He was afraid that if he didn’t handle
things well, FTW, which had only just barely started to stand up again,
would collapse.
He couldn’t ruin so many people’s dreams with his own selfish desires.
Wei Xiao knew what was important.
He’d take his time…
Wei Xiao comforted himself: The one who’d started an office romance
spent half a year testing things out; the teacher-student relationship was
even more fierce and had only confessed after graduation; as for the idol
romance, oh, that was a light novel and couldn’t be used as reference for
real life.
In any case, he could see, eat, sleep, and live with the captain every day. It
was like they were in a relationship even if they weren’t.
Hold on! Brother Xiao, you can still win!
xiin: so… who else guessed that WX would be like an energizer bunny on
crack once he figured out his feelings?
Ch79.2 - I like you too. Do you
want to have breakfast?
Wei Xiao only saw Lu Feng again when they started the free matching that
afternoon.
Lu Feng saw that he was in a good state, “Better now?”
Wei Xiao replied quickly, “After drinking the captain’s ginger tea, how
could I dare have a cold.”
Lu Feng ignored his pithy remarks and came over to feel his forehead, “Be
careful, don’t get cold.”
Wei Xiao held back his little heart that was bouncing and jumping, “Okay!”
Lu Feng kept feeling like his gaze was a little hot. He sat down, then asked,
“Double queue?”
He couldn’t think of anything else that would make this kid so eager.
Wei Xiao beamed with joy, “Yeah!”
Sweet and intimate double queue. It was a great way to cultivate feelings.
Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, “Come on, then.”
Once it came to playing games, Wei Xiao began to go crazy.
Their luck was pretty good. They’d first encountered Yuan Ze, who was
queuing on his own, then Old G, who was double queueing. In the second
last game, they encountered Kim Sung-hyun and played as teammates.
When the opposite side saw their line-up, they already wanted to surrender.
How could they play this game?
The great demon king was on the top lane, Daddy Hyun was on the bottom
lane, and there was a little lunatic playing jungler.
The pitiful thing was that their opposing team was a group of scattered
players. They didn’t have a single player to rely on!
If it hadn’t been the pride of a professional player supporting them, they

would’ve simply waved goodbye.
After the game was over, Wei Xiao was full of disdain at Kim Sung-hyun,
“God Kim, hit the matching button a bit later.”
It was too boring for the three of them to play together. The top lane didn’t
require his support, the bottom lane didn’t require his support, and other
than going to kill off the mid-lane, there was nothing else to do but play
around in the bushes. There was nothing fun about it!
Kim Sung-hyun sneered, “Maybe we’ll be opponents in the next game.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
The koi was worthy of their name. These words were really great.
In the last game, they really became opponents.
Lu Feng and Wei Xiao ran into Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun, who were
both single queued.
God Kim: “Hello, Old Shit!”
Because it was on the public chat, Wei Xiao was amused, “Who is this old
rat shit?”
Wei Xiao suddenly saw the light, “It turned out to be Captain Yuan!”
Yuan Ze put out his cigarette, “Little friend, lie down and wait.”
Like hell was Wei Xiao afraid, “Come, I’m waiting for you.”
Lu Feng was locked onto Yuan Ze for the entire game, messing with him
until he smashed his keyboard, “F*ck, did Close go crazy?!” Hadn’t he just
taught him a verbal lesson? Did he have to be so heavy with his revenge?!
Since Kim Sung-hyun and Yuan Ze’s ‘internal fighting’ was a serious
problem, they showed no tacit understanding. Lu Feng suppressed Yuan Ze
to death and didn’t even give him a chance to breathe.
Wei Xiao was able to go crazy for an entire game and even obtained the
‘killing spree’ achievement.
FTW’s points were very high that day, but unfortunately, they had no
opportunity for training matches, and could only sit there and watch others
play happily.
It seemed like it had only been a blink of the eye.
More than 10 days had passed since the start of training.
There were only two days left before the final prize pool competition.
Wei Xiao continued to run with Lu Feng. He got out of bed on time no
matter what, and became more and more energetic as he ran. Although he
was still panting for breath after each run, it was already much better than at
the beginning.
They ran into acquaintances again during their morning run.
Wei Xiao quickly greeted them, “Captain Li, is your wrist better now?”
That’s right. They’d run into Li Heran head-on.

Li Heran understood a bit of Chinese and said, “It’s good now.”
Wei Xiao was really looking forward to it, “See you the day after
tomorrow!”
Li Heran: “Mm. See you then.”
Because they were running in opposite directions, the two sides separated
after a brief encounter.
Wei Xiao drew close to Lu Feng, “You see, Kim Sung-hyun can’t do it. He
couldn’t hold on after two days of running. I’m still more reliable.”
He took this opportunity to boast about himself.
Lu Feng: “You’re great.”
Wei Xiao’s heart was itchy from listening to him. He continued, “I can
continue to accompany you for your morning runs. We can continue when
we get back to the base.”
The corner of Lu Feng’s lips curved. “Good.”
Wei Xiao felt that he didn’t sound committed enough, “Really! As long as
you run, I’ll run, regardless of rain or shine!”
Lu Feng looked at him, “Then, what if I don’t run?”
Wei Xiao expressed his loyalty, “I’ll accompany you to do whatever you’re
doing.”
He always had the feeling that Wei Xiaoxiao had become more sticky over
these past few days.
Lu Feng was afraid that Wei Xiao would continue to deliver fake sugar to
his heart and changed the topic, “The domestic competition will start soon
after we return home.”
Wei Xiao was full of energy, “I know.”
For FTW, their growth had been amazing over these ten plus days.
Wei Xiao and Lu Feng had fully adapted to their respective positions, and
the Old Bai who’d grown serious also gave them more possibilities with
their line-ups.
Little Ning was still young, but he had a lot of room for growth. As long as
he was tempered well, he would definitely become the mage king of a new
generation.
Yue Wenle’s only problem was that he often got caught up in the game.
After playing training matches more often, it became clear that this quiet
baby-faced youth who didn’t like to speak much and only focused on
chomping potato chips would let the game affect him as soon as there was a
downturn in the game.
The harder he was hammered, the more impulsive he would become.
He wasn’t like other marksmen at all!
Chen Feng had criticized him several times. Yue Wenle listened to him very
seriously, “I’ll pay attention to it next time.”
Next time, it would be the same.
Being unwilling to lose was a good thing, and not backing down was a good
thing.
But reason should still be maintained!
Fight when they had a chance to win, and play carefully and focus on
development when they couldn’t fight!
In this regard, Wei Xiao felt quite ashamed. He talked to Bai Cai about it
privately several times, “Is this the aftereffect of Old Yue getting beaten up
by me before?”
Brother Cai’s words hit the bullseye, “There’s really quite a few people who
have aftereffects from being beaten by you.”
Nearby were Old Yue and Asleep. Further away, there were Moonlit and
Eurostar.
In this winter training camp, the brightest cubs were all from the China
competition zone.
On the last day’s prize pool competition, the support channels for the game
were opened up in advance.
There was no need to mention the four godly teams. The support they
received was shockingly high.
After that was RR from Group B. This time, Moonlit had really performed
well. Winning against Xie He had made him famous, and he was the
strongest dark horse in Group B.
Then, there was Group A’s FTW. Close had given up playing jungler and
had switched to the top lane. Quiet came in out of nowhere, and could play
on the same level as L&P, going so far as to take Pro’s points. Their
strength was amazing.
China’s TPT had been quiet in the early stages. After RR had no more
points competition game chances, they started to shine.
A quiet, silent team had already collected data on the remaining 17 teams.
They were always multiple steps ahead in the BP segment of the game, and
their calculations could leave their opponents in a state of collapse.
By contrast, the 3U seemed to be overshadowed.
Until one day, during free matching, Asleep and Cong Yi ran into Li Heran
and Kim Sung-hyun in a doubles game.
At first, the fans had come to see the Koi team. Then, they were completely
led astray by the Pajamas CP.
This support player was amazing, hey, he was as good as Li Heran.
This jungler was so cool. Was the China competition zone so abundant in
mad dogs?!
All these newcomers, why were they all so crazy!
After winning against the Koi team in a doubles game, Pajamas became
famous.
Although Li Heran hadn’t played for a few days and was still warming up.
Although Kim Sung-hyun had casually taken a clumsy, short-ranged
gunner, winning was still winning!
3U’s Asleep and Cong Yi let China see more hope on the horizon.
Today’s new doubles competition championships, just imagine it!
Lu Feng had brought up the domestic competition with Wei Xiao not for the
sake of analyzing the teams, but because…
“I’ll accompany you to finish the school deferral process when we get
back.”
Lu Feng’s voice was warm, “The procedures aren’t troublesome, you don’t
have to worry.”
Wei Xiao knew why Lu Feng mentioned this.
As he ran, his warmed up body made it so that his heart didn’t feel so cold,
“Does it require family members to make an appearance?”
Lu Feng: “Although you’re an adult, parental consent is still required for

such a big matter.”

He had parents, a set of parents that he never saw.
Lu Feng slowed down and said quietly, “If you don’t want to go home, I
can show up and go with them…”
Wei Xiao shook his head, “It’s okay, I can do it.”
Lu Feng was full of heartache, “Let’s stop our run here for today.”
Wei Xiao nodded and followed him back to the hotel room.
The two of them separated to shower. Wei Xiao’s brain was a mess.
How much he missed his parents when he was a child was equal to how
much he hated them when he grew up.
Especially after his grandma left; it was like a sharp pain that drilled into
his heart and lungs every time he thought of them.
His father.
As a son, he wasn’t filial; as a father, he wasn’t loving.
His mother only placed importance on her husband and saw nothing else.
Wei Xiao had never been able to figure it out. Why had they given birth to
him if they didn’t need him?
Since he didn’t have parents, why did he have to accept their torment and
suffering?
Grandma left.
They went back, regretted and repented, then apologized.
What use was that?
On what basis should they be forgiven!

Wei Xiao closed his eyes and raised his head to the shower head so that his
useless tears would be washed away by the water.
He stayed in the bathroom for quite a long time. Lu Feng came to knock on
the door.
Wei Xiao came back to his senses, “Coming!”
He didn’t think about it and opened the door.
Two pairs of eyes met. Water was still flowing.
Lu Feng: “!”
Wei Xiao: “…F*ck!”
There was a bang as Wei Xiao closed the door again, his expression dazed:
He didn’t mean to act like a rogue, he really didn’t mean to, he…
ahhhhhhh!!!
Little Lunatic Wei had really gone crazy!
Lu Feng remained stunned for a long time before speaking in a hoarse

voice, “You, take your time washing, I’ll go next door.”
Wei Xiao could hear him, but he was unable to make sense of it for a while.
He was still confused as he answered, “Okay!”
There were no more sounds from outside. Wei Xiao looked at his naked,
wet self in the mirror…
He almost wanted to die.
He hadn’t even confessed yet, but he was already lovelorn!
It hadn’t been easy to drop hints over the past few days, but all of his
previous efforts were now wasted!
At this time, Wei Xiao no longer had any spare thoughts for his parents. His
brain was full of his first love that had died before it even began.
Wait.
Wei Xiao’s short-circuited brain came back online.
––Take your time washing, I’ll go next door.
The captain had gone next door? Gone to wash up next door?
Who lived next door…
Old Bai!
Wei Xiao, who’d just finished playing rogue, instantly became jealous.
How could the captain take a bath in someone else’s place. That wasn’t
okay.
Wei Xiao didn’t blow dry his hair. He pulled on a t-shit and went out.
Who could’ve known that he would see Lu Feng as soon as he went

outside?
Lu Feng was leaning against the wall. A thin bead of sweat sliding from his
chin to drop on his protruding collarbone.
Lu Feng froze, then turned to look at him.
The two of them looked at each other and said nothing.
Wei Xiao suddenly couldn’t help it anymore. The words that he’d
suppressed in his heart couldn’t be pressed down anymore.
He liked his captain. He liked Close, liked Lu Feng.

He couldn’t wait anymore. He wanted to tell him.
Even if…
There was a click.
The door beside them opened. Bai Cai had his head down as he played on
his cell phone, his eyes closed as he walked in Wei Xiao’s direction.
Then, he heard Wei Xiao’s voice––
“Captain, I like you!”
Brother Cai looked up abruptly and saw this shocking scene.
In the dark corridor, only the deep, dark silhouette of the man who was
leaning against the wall could be seen. His figure was slender and his long
legs slightly bent, so handsome that it left one’s thoughts a mess.
Standing in front of him was a tall and thin youth. His broad, black t-shirt
emphasized his snow-white neck. The tips of his ears could be seen beneath
his short, damp hair, and his crisp young voice echoed through the whole
corridor.
Lu Feng glanced at Bai Cai and replied in a low voice, “Mm.”
Brother Cai came back to his senses. He was really scared out of his wits by
the daily happenings between these two.
Wei Xiao turned his head and noticed the stunned Brother Cai––
F*ck, he just wanted to confess, not come out of the closet!
Who could’ve known that Bai Cai would then say, “Can you not f*cking
repeat yourself three times a day?!”
Wei Xiao: “???”

Bai Cai was about to shatter into pieces from fright, “The whole world
knows that you like the captain. Don’t say it so frequently. Are you treating
it like your three meals a day?”
Lu Feng reached out to rub his damp hair, “Go and blow dry your hair. Be
careful and don’t catch a cold.”
Wei Xiao looked at him stupidly: No, this…
Bai Cai was numb, “The captain likes you too. I like you too. Everyone
likes you. Do you want to have breakfast?”
Wei Xiao: “……………………” F*ck?!

Ch80 - Can you let me do one
thing?
He had plucked up the courage to confess, but no one believed him?
He could ignore the fact that Brother Vegetable didn’t believe him, but even
the captain didn’t believe him either?
Bai Cai finally saw Wei Xiao’s wet hair clearly and said, “You didn’t even
blowdry your hair. What did you run out here for? Do you still want to play
in the competition on the last day?”
Wei Xiao, who was so angry that his liver hurt, stared at him, “Go and eat
your food!”
Brother Cai was too lazy to deal with him, “Be careful, or you’ll really
delay things if you catch a cold.”
Lu Feng recalled how he’d caught a cold when playing in the water and
coaxed him to go inside, “Back to the room.”
The captain pushed lightly against the back of his waist. Wei Xiao’s waist
felt numb and tingly, and he didn’t dare to chatter on, slipping back inside
the room.
Why was he so miserable?
His confession had been ignored.
He’d just been told to go back to the room and blow dry his hair.
To hell with blow drying! He wanted to shave his head and become a monk!
Wei Xiao started to blow dry his hair messily, and his brain calmed down a
bit.
Steady.
This wasn’t something that could be rushed.
Although Wei Xiao wanted to chop up some white cabbage, when he

thought about it from another angle, Brother Vegetable might have actually
saved his life.
The consequences of an impulsive confession were disastrous.
Not only might it make the captain dislike him, it could also shake the team.
The new FTW hadn’t even played in any proper competitions yet. How
could it start to fall apart now?
Things had to develop steadily, he couldn’t be reckless!
Wei Xiao took a deep breath and calmed his heart down.
He had to continue and explore the situation tentatively, observe carefully,

and try to figure out the captain’s sexual orientation and whether or not he
was interested in him.
What if the captain liked him, too?
Bang!
There was an explosion of fireworks in Wei Xiaoxiao’s head, knocking him

dizzy in advance.
After drying his hair, Lu Feng noticed that his cheeks were a little red, “I’ll
get you a bowl of ginger tea.”
This kid’s physique was really no good. Last time it was playing in the
water, this time, it was standing in the wind; it was too easy for him to catch
colds.
Wei Xiao really disliked these kinds of spicy and astringent tasting things,
and quickly said, “No need, I didn’t catch a cold!”
Lu Feng was insistent, “The prize pool competition is the day after
tomorrow, you…”
Wei Xiao didn’t finish for him to finish speaking. He pushed him into the
bathroom, “Go shower. I’m just red from the hot water. I guarantee that it’ll
be fine after you come out.”
Lu Feng: “……” He was covered in sweat and really did want to take a
bath.
“Call room service directly.” Lu Feng ordered him.
Wei Xiao nodded, “Okay, okay, okay!”
After basically pushing the captain into the bathroom, Wei Xiao exhaled
softly and patted his feverish face.
To hell with catching a cold; he was too hot, and his brain was full of fire,
the kind that could only be eased with a confession.
Ahhhhh.
But he couldn’t confess his feelings!
Oh, nobody would believe him even when he confessed.
Wei Xiao splayed out on the bed like a salted fish with big dreams.
Lu Feng was worried about him. He soon finished showering and came
outside, wiping his hair as he looked at Wei Xiao.
The flush on Wei Xiao’s face had faded away, and his skin was back to its
usual pale luster.
“Did you order ginger tea?”
Wei Xiao flopped up like a carp, “I’m okay, I’m really okay. If you don’t
believe me you can feel my forehead.”
He smoothed his hair back from his face to reveal his smooth forehead.
Wei Xiao, who only realized what he’d done after he’d done it, “……”
F*ck, he wasn’t trying to seduce the captain, he really wasn’t!
Lu Feng quickly reached out and touched his forehead, “Well, if you’re
fine, then it’s okay.”
Wei Xiao somehow managed to answer, “It’s really nothing.”
The two of them fell quiet for a second or two.
Lu Feng suddenly asked, “Why did you suddenly think about saying that
you like me?”
While taking a shower, Captain Lu had also calmed down and thought
about it for a while.
Wei Xiaoxiao talked a lot and dared to say anything. He often used the
word ‘like’, the sound of it scratching at Lu Feng’s ears from time to time.
Lu Feng hadn’t gotten used to it even after listening to it so many times.
––He probably wouldn’t get used to it in this lifetime.
They’d run into Bai Cai just now, and he hadn’t thought much about it, but
when he took a shower, he suddenly felt that this ‘like’ wasn’t the same as
usual.
Nothing had come before it, and there had been no request, but Wei Xiao
had rushed out with such a sentence.
It was too much like a confession.
Lu Feng’s heart thudded. He felt that he was overthinking it.
However, he couldn’t resist and still asked the question.
After asking, he didn’t quite dare to look at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao was even less willing to look at him.
What to do…
Develop conservatively?
Stay steady? Don’t go wild?
F*ck!
To hell with developing, to hell with steady, going wild was king!
Wei Xiao’s psychological development was like a tofu dregs project and
disintegrated instantly under pressure, “I just said it because I wanted to.”
Lu Feng: “!”
Wei Xiao was upright and bold, “I like you. I thought about it, so I said it.
Can’t I?”
He looked at Lu Feng directly and didn’t conceal his eagerness.
Lu Feng stared at him. After looking at him for half a second, he answered
in a warm voice, “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “???”
What did that mean!

Wei Xiao stressed it again, “Captain, I really like you, I just want…” He
couldn’t say that he wanted to get married, and there wasn’t anything else
he could say. Oh, yeah, “To share household registers with you!” This was
obvious enough, right? The captain should understand him completely. If he
said another ‘Mm’, then he would propose on the spot!
Gutsy Wei was going for it!
Lu Feng froze briefly, then smiled and laughed, “Enough.”
Wei Xiao held his breath: What did ‘enough’ mean, it didn’t seem to be
going the way he thought it would.
Lu Feng rubbed his messy black hair and said, “I’m only two years older
than you. I can’t be your father.”
Wei Xiao: “………………………………………………”
Lu Feng was really scared of his heartfelt words. He got up and said, “Go
down and have breakfast before going back to sleep. I still have some work
to do and will be going to the conference room first.”
It wasn’t until the door closed that the petrified Wei Xiao started to thaw.
Sharing a household register wasn’t just for lovers, but also for fathers?
I want to marry you, but you’re treating me as a son?
Even though Brother Xiao was a very determined person, he had shriveled
up and was out of energy again.
It was so difficult!
Confessing was so much harder than playing games!
Wei Xiao wanted to turn to Weibo for help.
Q: I confessed to my secret love, but he treated me as a son. What should I

do?
He didn’t need to send it. Wei Xiao could already see what the answers
would be.
Father-son love?
Man, you guys are playing a big game.
God Xiao, who’d been a daddy to countless people in the game, had finally
ended up meeting his match with a ‘father’.
Wei Xiao thought hard all day long and finally came up with an absolutely
effective move.
It was better to do than to say.
As long as he went up and kissed him, he could guarantee that the captain
would understand everything.
But…
What if the captain was straight?
It wasn’t a big deal if he was beaten to death with a slap, but it would be a
big problem if he was driven out of FTW and lost his home!
What’s more, Wei Xiao felt that the likelihood that the captain was a
straight man was about 300%.
How could anyone who was even a little crooked withstand his mouth full
of coquettish talk?
There was no need to mention his three likes a day, he seemed to have said
he’d married into FTW.
With this and that, how could the captain bear it?
Wei Xiao’s love-focused brain was half dead already.

––The captain was a straight man, he had no interest in him and treated him
like a son.
The 19 year old youth had not only failed to confess, he’d ended up
lovelorn before he was happy.
This was a big blow.
During the heated and lively training competition and the bitter and
amusing ‘individual thoughts’, Wei Xiao ushered in the final event of the
training competition, the prize pool competition.
On the last night, there was no points competition. Instead, there were
points screening, team elimination, and drawing lots.
There were 12 teams who met the standards.
The total prize pool was over 7 million. In order to increase the impact, the
investor daddies added fuel to the fire and rounded it up to 10 million.
After 15 days of training, the final champion could win 10 million in prize
money. This winter training competition was full of the scent of gunpowder,
and it could be predicted that it would also be a very hot topic during the
next few years.
Not only could the players train, they would also gain global exposure and
win prize money. It wasn’t much worse than playing in the official
competition!
They had to select seed teams according to their scores before lots were
drawn.
The first and second ranked teams, L&P and Pro, were considered first tier
teams and would not draw each other as opponents in the first round.
As the second tier, 3U and FTW were also separated from each other.
The remaining eight teams were free to be matched up at will.

This maintained a level of relative fairness. Otherwise, if strong teams drew
other strong teams, it would be a pity if one of them was forced to be
eliminated right at the start.
Tomorrow was the BO1 (only one game) elimination match.
The 12 teams were divided into six groups who fought in pairs. The winner
was promoted, and the loser was eliminated.
The winner would take all of the losing team’s prize pool money and enter
the second round.
The second round would be six teams fighting for the top three. Again, the
winner would be promoted, and the loser would be eliminated.
In the end, the last three teams would make it to the semi-finals.
Because only 12 teams met the points standard, it was inevitable that only
three teams would be left after the 12 into 6, and 6 into 3 rounds.
However, there was no difference between second and third place, so the
competition committee directly arranged a draw for the match ups.
Between the three teams, those who managed to draw opponents would
fight: The loser would be eliminated, and the winner would continue to play
against the last team and fight for the final championship.
The entire competition schedule was crammed into one day. Although it
was only BO1, it was still very tiring to play so many games all in one go.
Besides, 10 million wasn’t a small amount. Who wouldn’t want to win such
a huge bonus!
Because there were no training matches, the teams all returned to their
training rooms early.
Chen Feng was building up their momentum prior to the competition, “…

Our rule is, we’ll divide the prize equally if we win.”
Brother Cai’s small eyes lit up, brighter than incandescent lamps!
Ten million. Divided up between five people meant it was two million each.
F*ck!
Brother Cai was full of fighting spirit, “Fellow brothers, let’s fight!”
This was Little Ning’s first serious competition after joining the team. He
was a little nervous, “Let’s, let’s fight!”
Old Yue was calmer, “Oh.”
Wei Xiao tossed a sentence at him, “If you win two million, you can buy
400,000 bags of potato chips.”
Yue Wenle was dazed, then instantly came to attention, “Let’s do it!”
In the future, it would be better to leave the matter of building up

momentum to Little Lunatic Wei. One Little Lunatic Wei was more
effective than 10 of him.
For the sake of tomorrow’s game, everyone stayed sharp that night and
went back to their rooms to rest early that night.
Wei Xiao was very good at encouraging others, but his own heart was full
of other things.
The more they interacted, the more he felt that the captain was good.
The more he felt that the captain was good, the more he couldn’t restrain
himself.
Wei Xiao was able to hold on for so many days, but this was already his
limit.
If it wasn’t out of fear that the captain wouldn’t want him, he would’ve
used practical actions to confess long ago.
Ah…
Wei Xiao was scared of being kicked out from his home.
He was naturally unable to hide his current appearance from Lu Feng.
Lu Feng waited until everyone else had left and accompanied him in the
training room, “Solo?”
Wei Xiao’s spirits instantly came back up, “Okay!”
The two of them started a game. Once they started, Wei Xiao no longer
remembered those messy things and was only focused on positioning,
maneuvering, and winning.
Lu Feng didn’t show any mercy at all. He pressed him down onto the
ground and cleaned the floor with him, not giving him any opportunity to
fight back.
Wei Xiao became more heated the more he was beat up, and the more
heated he became, the more he was unable to control the blind jumping of
his heart.
In the past 17 years, he’d been wholeheartedly focused on his grandmother,

just wanting to take good care of her, repay her for her care, and let her
enjoy happiness and live well.
After his grandma left, he was aimless with no support, for two years. All
the way until he met Lu Feng.
He appreciated him, liked him, and had relied on him.
He was even more afraid of losing him.
All of Wei Xiao’s fear and nervousness originated with Lu Feng.

Because Lu Feng was too important to him, to the point where he was all
tied up.
Lu Feng saw that he wasn’t in the right mindset and set down the mouse to
look at him, “What’s the matter?”
Would this little lunatic even be worried about tomorrow’s game?
Wei Xiao turned to look at him, “Captain…” This voice was full of
grievances.
Lu Feng couldn’t stand it when he was like this. He asked, “Is something on
your mind?”
Lu Feng took a breath, “Tell me about it?”
How could he say it?
Say I like you, love you, want to spend a lifetime with you?
Would you believe me if I said it!
Oh, you believe it, but the direction you believe in is wrong!
Wei Xiao leaned against the chair and sighed heavily, “Captain…”
When he called him like this, it made Lu Feng’s heart itch, and his voice
became increasingly warm, “Say it.”
It was just two words, but it seemed that he was promising him whatever he
wanted.
Ahhhh, why was the captain so good?!
So good that he just wanted to do some indecent things to him.

Wei Xiao wasn’t the type to be tangled up over things. He might be afraid,
but he would never back down.
His intentions were already here, and he couldn’t just hide it.
Dying early and dying later both involved dying.
He didn’t want to be a shrinking turtle!
The brave and resourceful Wei Xiaoxiao turned his head and fixed his gaze
on Lu Feng.
Lu Feng was also looking at him.
Wei Xiao took a deep breath and said seriously, “Tomorrow’s championship
prize pool is 10 million.”
Lu Feng was a little surprised. Was Wei Xiao really worried about
tomorrow’s game?
“Yes.”
Wei Xiao stared at him, “If FTW wins, I’ll get two million.”
It was funny. They went back and forth, and it was always this number.
Lu Feng nodded, “That’s right.”
Wei Xiao spoke out the idea that was in his heart, “I don’t want this two
million.”
Wei Xiao continued, “I don’t want this two million, but can you let me do
one thing?”
Lu Feng immediately replied, “The bonus is yours…”

Wei Xiao spoke stubbornly, “No. I won’t take this two million, but in
return, please don’t get angry, don’t drive me away, and it would be best if
you don’t hate me.”
This unruly youth lowered his tone as he spoke, looking somewhat pitiful.
Lu Feng frowned briefly, “What do you want to do?”
Wei Xiao naturally wouldn’t say it now. He stood up and asked, “Can you
promise me?”
Lu Feng looked up at him, his eyes dark and deep, “You want to leave
FTW?”
Wei Xiao immediately replied, “How could that be?”
Lu Feng’s expression didn’t change as he stared straight at him.
Wei Xiao’s heart was seizing from his gaze. He spoke in a small voice, “I
already said that you can’t drive me out when the time comes. How could I
leave FTW?”
Lu Feng’s eyebrows relaxed. He realized that he’d missed out on some of

his words.
What did Wei Xiao want to do? Something that he would be angry about.
What was it?
Lu Feng could only think that he wanted to leave FTW.
Other than this, what else could make him angry?
Wei Xiao could see that the captain had misunderstood. He quickly softened
his voice, “As long as you don’t dislike me and don’t drive me away, I’ll
never leave FTW.”
Lu Feng frowned again, “How could I dislike you.”

Wei Xiao’s heart was sweet, “On the chance that I do something that makes
you hate me.”
He couldn’t say it.
The fact that he wouldn’t hate Wei Xiao no matter what he did was
something he couldn’t tell him.
Wei Xiao had made up his mind, “In short, I don’t want this two million
yuan, and in return, you let me do this one thing!”
Afraid that Lu Feng would overthink it, he put limits on it, “Don’t worry,
it’s not against the law, and the only risk is that you may get very angry.”
Lu Feng was really curious, “What exactly are you going to do?”
Wei Xiao’s line of sight darted swiftly over his lips. His heart felt really hot,
“I can’t say it now.”
Lu Feng’s thin lips shifted slightly.
“Captain.” Wei Xiao simply switched to trickery, “Promise me, okay!”
Lu Feng: “…… Alright.”
Wei Xiao relaxed, then looked at him, “You definitely can’t get angry when
the time comes.”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao: “Well, you can get angry, but you can’t drive me away.”
Lu Feng: “Impossible.”
This heart of Wei Xiao’s was really going through ups and downs,
“Promise?”
Lu Feng: “Promise.”
Although he didn’t know what Wei Xiao wanted to do, Lu Feng would let
him do it, and he would also give him the full bonus.
Ch81 - If you’re lonely, you can go
find someone else.
Lu Feng had something to do in the evening, so Wei Xiao was in the room
by himself.
He finished washing up early, ran to bed, covered himself with the quilt,
and closed his eyes to sleep.
One solo, two solo, three solo…
To hell with sleeping! He couldn’t sleep!
Wei Xiao opened his eyes.
It was only a little after ten o’clock, so how could he fall asleep.
Of course, this was also somewhat related to the fact that he had something
on his mind. When he thought about his plan, Wei Xiao couldn’t help but
pat at his own face.
Calm down, calm down. Win the game first, and then think about it some
more.
But…how did one kiss?
The 19 year old virgin knew nothing about kissing.
That’s right, Wei Xiao had given up the two million bonus and fought with
his life on the line for the sake of a little kiss.
He wanted to kiss the captain, so that the captain would understand his
intentions thoroughly.
This kind of ‘like’, not the other type of ‘like’.
Sharing a household register didn’t only mean they would have to be father
and son. They could also be fellow brothers, oh, wait… lovers!
Wei Xiao took a deep breath and took out his cell phone to search up on
kissing.
He’d only just taken a peek at the results when he quickly clicked out the
page.
This was no good…
His grandma had said before, look at nothing that is not consistent with
propriety!
Forget it. It was just a peck. Just because he hadn’t eaten pork before, it
didn’t mean he’d never seen pigs run!
Wei Xiao’s brain filled in the blanks, and his imagination almost heated
himself up so much he turned into a spicy crawfish.
It was too hot in the room, and he really couldn’t stay here anymore. He
went outside for some air.
Due to Coach Chen Feng’s strict orders, the other three people in FTW
were all obediently hiding in their rooms and sleeping.
Wei Xiao didn’t dare to go look for Bai Cai.
He couldn’t tell Brother Cai about this. Based on Brother Cai’s small guts,
he would be scared out of his mind. He was still hoping that Brother Cai
would play well in the competition and help him win!
He couldn’t tell anyone, but these affairs of the heart bounced around in his
thoughts. Wei Xiao could only go down to the seaside and stand in the
wind.
The island at night was quite different from how it was during the day. The
blue sea was dark, and the silvery-white sand was faded, leaving only the
sound of the roaring waves.
Wei Xiao was wearing his team uniform and didn’t feel cold, but his heart
calmed down significantly.
He casually found a rock and sat down, breathing in the salty scent of the
sea breeze.
“Quiet?”
Wei Xiao was a little startled. He turned his head and discovered that a
young man had been seated beside him for a while.
A sea blue team uniform, black hair blown into chaos by the wind, single
eyelids, a tear mole, and a haughty attitude.
Wei Xiao was surprised, “God Kim?”
The person sitting here getting blown at by the sea breeze was Pro’s Kim
Sung-hyun, who nodded slightly in response.
Wei Xiao saw that there was a spark at his fingertips, it was a half burned
cigarette.
Kim Sung-hyun noticed his line of sight, “Want one?”
Wei Xiao shook his head, “I don’t smoke.”
Kim Sung-hyun’s lips curved, “Good child.”
This tone of voice was very similar to Old Dog Yuan. He was worthy of
having been taught by Yuan Ze.
Wei Xiao’s goosebumps popped right out, “Bandit Yuan, disperse!”
Kim Sung-hyun was stunned, then realized, “F*ck, he used to always say
that to me.”
Wei Xiao guessed it, “Is he much older than you?”
Yuan Ze’s age was a mystery. He spoke like an old beast, yet when he
quieted down he seemed to be only 20. His age seemed to depend on
whether or not he was acting human or not.
Kim Sung-hyun: “Five days older than me.”
Wei Xiao was startled, “Then how does he have the face to say that to
you?”
He understood it as soon as he spoke. He’d bullied Kim Sung-hyun by

taking advantage of the fact that he didn’t know Chinese.
It was unknown how long Kim Sung-hyun had been sitting there for, but it
seemed that he still wanted to chat, “When I just entered FTW, I couldn’t
speak a single word of Chinese and had to rely on him to translate for me.”
Wei Xiao was really impressed when it came to this point, “Captain Yuan
really is proficient in eight languages?”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Maybe not eight languages, but five or six for sure.”
Wei Xiao was amazed, “He… how did he do it?”
Kim Sung-hyun was two years older than Close, and he’d joined FTW one
year ahead of Close when he was only 18 or 19. Yuan Ze was only 5 days
older than he was, making them the same age.
How had the 18 year old Old Dog Yuan mastered five or six languages!
Kim Sung-hyun: “Don’t judge him based on how he looks just Chinese.
He’s actually of mixed blood.”
This was really the first time he’d heard of it. Wei Xiao asked, “He can’t be
a mixed blood from five or six countries, right?”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Almost…”

Wei Xiao was dazed for a second.
Yuan Ze’s father was a pure Chinese businessman, but his wife was a
Korean with mixed blood.
With this mix, Yuan Ze really was a child with mixed blood from five or six
countries.
Yuan Ze’s grandmother was Japanese and Korean, and his grandfather was
a mixture of English and French, so he was proficient in Japanese, Korean,
English, French, and Chinese.
His best language was Korean, because Yuan Ze had lived in Korea as a
child.
This was too amazing. Wei Xiao said in surprise, “Captain Yuan’s life
background is something that even novels don’t dare to write about.”
Kim Sung-hyun laughed, “How does that count? His parents later divorced
and formed new families. He followed his mother and stayed in Korea until
he was 10, then went to the United States until he was 13. He returned to
China with his father when he was 14, and later…”
This seemed to involve personal privacy. Kim Sung-hyun leaned in and

continued, “He joined FTW in the same year as me. I wasn’t familiar with
the surroundings or the language, so I could only talk to him.”
One could imagine this scene.
The 18 year old Kim Sung-hyun had come to a China that was strange to
him and met Yuan Ze, who could speak Korean. It would be weird if they
didn’t become close.
Wei Xiao paused for a moment, then said, “Then, the relationship between
the two of you must be really good.”
Although they were mutually hostile on a daily basis, it was the kind that
could only happen if they had deep feelings for each other. If they were
really unfamiliar, they would only nod and greet each other when they met.
Kim Sung-hyun stared at the cigarette between his fingers, “Right. He
taught me this, too.”
Although he’d lit a cigarette, he hadn’t smoked from it at all. He simply let
it burn down on its own.
Wei Xiao disparaged him, “Can’t he teach anything good?”
Grandma had said it before, smoking was harmful to one’s health!
Kim Sung-hyun was amused, “Close refused to learn.”
Once he heard the name Close, Wei Xiao’s eyes brightened instantly, “He
also tried to influence my captain?”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Of course. Your captain was very quiet when he first
joined the team. He suspected that he had social phobia, and flipped
through a good many psychology books.”
Wei Xiao thought about it for a while and couldn’t quite imagine it, “How
could my captain have social phobia!”
Everything about Close was good. Quiet couldn’t tolerate anybody saying
anything negative about him.
Kim Sung-hyun said to him, “You’ve never seen the 17 year old Little
Close.”
Wei Xiao was instantly sour with jealousy, but there was nothing he could
do. It was true that he hadn’t seen him then.
When the captain was 17 years old, he’d only been 15. Although he’d been
playing Glory at the time, he’d only been accompanying his classmates and
abusing newbies. He hadn’t experienced the fun of the competition at all.
“Can you tell me about it?” Wei Xiao pressed down the sour lemon in his
heart and asked Kim Sung-hyun curiously.
Kim Sung-hyun stubbed out the cigarette and said, “At the time, your
captain was a little shorter than me, he was handsome, but his aura was too
cold, and he didn’t allow anyone to get close. I didn’t say more than five
sentences to him in total over the first half a month.”
“Even when we were playing training games, he wouldn’t say a word.”
Wei Xiao was surprised, “Was it okay for him not to communicate while
playing the jungler position?”
Back then, the commander of the Team of Gods, FTW, was the support
position player Yan Jiang. Although Close wasn’t the commander, the
jungler was supposed to lead the rhythm of the game and needed to
maintain communication with his teammates.
Kim Sung-hyun sighed, “That’s why Ah-Ze, oh, I mean, Old Shit,
suspected that he had social phobia.”
Other than the simplest monosyllabic sounds, the 17 year old cold teenager
didn’t say a single word.
He was silent, quiet, and pushed people thousands of miles away.
Yuan Ze might be a dog, but he was a warm-hearted one. He was willing to

help Kim Sung-hyun adapt to Chinese life, and he also wanted to lead Little
Close out of his psychological barriers.
He stayed up late reading several psychology books and tried to get close to
Lu Feng.
After trying out several rounds of theoretical knowledge, Lu Feng finally

spoke and asked him, “What’s the matter?”
Lu Feng: “I don’t like talking to people. If you’re lonely, you can go find
someone else.”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”

To hell with the f*cking social phobia, this kid was just filled with pure
arrogance!
Ch82.1 - If you want to be gay
together, can you stay away from
my door?
Wei Xiao was amused.
Kim Sung-hyun also started laughing, “He smashed into a wall, but he
didn’t give up. He told me that Little Close was just putting on a strong
front, and he must actually be secretly shedding tears at night…”
Wei Xiao didn’t believe it at all, but his curiosity had been completely
piqued, “And then? And then?”
Then, at midnight, Yuan Ze took Kim Sung-hyun with him and squatted
outside Close’s bedroom door for half an hour.
Proud Flower Kim had been very naive and innocent back then, “Is he
crying?”
Yuan Ze’s legs were numb from crouching, “Maybe they’re silent tears?
Looking at how that boy puts up a strong front, he probably doesn’t even
know how to cry.”
Kim Sung-hyun was worried, “Then, what should we do? Elder brother,
should we go in?”
Yuan Ze corrected him, “Don’t use the title ‘elder brother’ in China. Others
will think that we’re gay!”
Kim Sung-hyun changed his words, “Ah-Ze!”
Yuan Ze nodded, “Call me teacher!”

Kim Sung-hyun paused, “Ah-Ze!”
Yuan Ze: “…….” Fine, it was a little difficult for him to pronounce
‘teacher’.
Their voices weren’t low. FTW’s base back then hadn’t been like the
‘luxury house’ it was now, and the sound insulation was mediocre. Close,
who was in the room, had basically heard most of it.
He opened the door, giving Kim Sung-hyun and Yuan Ze a scare.
Kim Sung-hyun was quite thin-skinned and was unable to speak for a long
time.
Old Dog Yuan was thick-skinned and didn’t feel embarrassed at all,
“Cough, you haven’t slept yet?”
After that, he stared at Close, trying to see if there were traces of tears on
his handsome face.
However, other than the chips of ice in his eyes, he got nothing else.
Close: “I can cry, but there’s no need.”
Kim Sung-hyun & Yuan Ze: “!” He heard them!
Close continued, “If you want to be gay together, can you stay away from
my door?”
Little Kim & Old Yuan: “…………………………..”
To hell with this little pitiful guy, this was clearly a sullen, black-bellied
man!
When he heard this, Wei Xiao laughed so hard he was rocking back and
forth. His brain recreated the scene completely.
Sure enough, the great demon king was still a great demon king when he
was young. It was amazing!
There was a smile in Kim Sung-hyun’s eyes when he thought of these past
events, and his tone became lighter and lighter.
He then shared some fragmented anecdotes. Wei Xiao was always

concerned about one point, “Why were you all so worried about the
captain?”
He could tell from the literal and implied meaning of the words that Yuan
Ze had been very worried about Close, who’d just entered the team.
Was it because he didn’t like to talk?
Was it because he wasn’t sociable?
Or was it because Close was too young, and they wanted to take care of
him?
Wei Xiao didn’t think that was it.
The 19 year old Captain Yuan and God Kim were half grown boys. How
would they be so thoughtful?
He asked this, and Kim Sung-hyun was stunned for a moment.
This new teammate of Close’s looked naughty and wild and disobedient,
but in his heart, he really cared about his captain.
He’d even caught the details inside these jokes.
Kim Sung-hyun spoke lightly, “You’ve never seen the 17 year old Close.”
He’d said these words earlier, but the tone now was totally different.
After listening to it again, Wei Xiao still felt sour in his heart, but it was no
longer a jealous sourness. It was a feeling of heartache for the 17 year old
Close.
“…The Close from back then seemed to have been abandoned by everyone.
He didn’t seem to care about anything around him.”
Yuan Ze spoke about social phobia, but in fact, he was worried about more
than just that.
A youth who was so disconnected and cold, it wouldn’t be surprising if he

chose to jump down from the top of a building in the next second.
It wasn’t just social phobia. Yuan Ze had flipped through psychology books
out of fear that this child wouldn’t be able to work through it.
Kim Sung-hyun’s words were very obscure, but Wei Xiao could still feel
the heavy, depressing pain that pressed down on his insides.
“Back then, we all suspected that his family… well…” Kim Sung-hyun
said. “However, it became much better later on. Close still didn’t like to talk
and was an icy cold person, but for better or worse, he could communicate.
Even if it was all monosyllables.”
Wei Xiao was stunned as he listened.
Lu Feng’s monosyllables was a joke that was often used as fans for memes.
The great demon king’s ‘mm’ judgement, Close’s cold ‘mm’, and the gentle
‘mm’ that was worth dying to hear.
Wei Xiao had no way to imagine the 17 year old Close who tried using
monosyllables to establish communication channels with other people.
The tingling, numbing pain spread through all his nerves, and his cell phone
vibrated slightly.
Wei Xiao didn’t know what the captain had experienced before he turned
17, but he’d found a new home in FTW, found a new family, and gradually
began to accept others.
It was a pity that after one short year of brilliance, FTW broke up.
What had the Close who remained standing in the ruins been thinking?
‘Ding’.
The clear sound of a lighter pulled Wei Xiao back to the present.
Kim Sung-hyun lit another cigarette and let the tiny spark burn between his
fingers.
“Us big brothers of the past really owe him.” Kim Sung-hyun looked at Wei
Xiao, “In the future, you…”
Wei Xiao yelled loudly, “I’ll absolutely never leave him. I’ll always
accompany him!” For a lifetime!
Kim Sung-hyun smiled and said, “You’re not his wife, so how can you
accompany him all the time.”
Wei Xiao: “I…”
After that, Kim Sung-hyun cleared his throat. He realized that the word
‘wife’ wasn’t appropriate; after all, he knew Close’s sexual orientation.
Wei Xiao also stopped suddenly. He couldn’t just say that he wanted to be
the captain’s wif… husband, right!
Eh… Wei Xiao broke out in goosebumps from his own thoughts.
After listening to the captain’s past for a while, Wei Xiao switched to being
concerned about Kim Sung-hyun, “God Kim, what are you doing out here
on your own? Are you scared about tomorrow’s competition?”
Kim Sung-hyun slanted a glance at him, “Scared of what?”
Wei Xiao stabbed back, “Scared that you’ll lose to us.”
Kim Sung-hyun made a sound of disbelief.
Wei Xiao stressed, “You lost to us once not very long ago.”
Kim Sung-hyun raised his chin slightly, and the tear mole was particularly
obvious, “If you guys were unable to win against me when I played so
badly, would you really deserve to be in FTW?”
These words…
Wei Xiao loved to hear them. He chuckled, “I’ll be waiting for you to play
well tomorrow!”
Kim Sung-hyun really admired his passion, “I’ll definitely satisfy you.”
Wei Xiao thought of his love confession plan and said, “I definitely won’t
show any mercy.”
Kim Sung-hyun waved his hand, “Get lost and go back to sleep…”
He hadn’t finished speaking when Wei Xiao’s cell phone rang.
Wei Xiao’s eyebrows showed his happiness as soon as he looked at it, “It’s
my captain.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “……” Was this worth showing off? It wasn’t like he was
the only one with a captain!
Wei Xiao answered the phone, “Captain~”
Kim Sung-hyun’s ears trembled. He was very puzzled about how Close
could bear it as a gay man.
He didn’t know what was said on the other side of the phone, but Wei Xiao
bounced up and said, “God Kim, I’m going back. Bye bye.”
Kim Sung-hyun waved at him.
Wei Xiao ran back swiftly, wishing he could teleport and arrive back at the
captain’s side in two seconds.
Kim Sung-hyun saw his attitude, and the smile on the corners of his lips
slowly faded away.
When he looked at the present Wei Xiao, Kim Sung-hyun was always
reminded of the past.
He’d entered Glory at the age of 17, his heart full of ambition, chasing after
Li Heran just like the Wei Xiao who was now chasing after Lu Feng.
At the time, Li Heran had been the number one ADC in South Korea, and
he was his teammate.
At the time, Li Heran was the shining star who’d won the National MVP,
and he was the foil beside him.
The light shone brightly on Li Heran, while he stood behind the light.
When people mentioned Li Heran, they couldn’t recall Kim Sung-hyun.
Only when Kim Sung-hyun was mentioned would they think of the ‘Twin
Stars’.
At the time, Kim Sung-hyun was very unwilling to accept this. He wanted
to catch up to Li Heran, wanting to stand side by side with him.
Later on…
He went to FTW and won the world championship.
He defeated Li Heran. When he shook hands with him, Li Heran said to

him, “Wonderful.”
Kim Sung-hyun had held onto him tightly, his eyes red, “Did I win?”
Li Heran: “Yes.”
But he hadn’t won!
He’d lost big time!
He’d hated Li Heran when he was sold to FTW.
When he learned the truth of the matter, he just wanted to get him back.
But…
He worked so hard and so bitterly to go home, only to see a depressed Li
Heran who was full of old injuries.
The Li Heran who’d been better at him at everything as they grew up

together, that he’d only been able look at his back as he followed behind
him, was now downtrodden like a homeless dog.
Kim Sung-hyun had scolded him, “Why did you trick me into going to
FTW!”
Li Heran had been silent.
Kim Sung-hyun’s voice trembled, “Do you know that when I was alone in
China, there was, there was…”
Li Heran whispered, “Sung-hyun, you’re different now.”
Kim Sung-hyun, who’d gone to China, had won the world championships,
entered the Temple of Glory and become the number one marksman in the
Korean competition zone.
Li Heran, who’d stayed at home, had eventually been sucked dry by the
club and fallen ill.
Kim Sung-hyun reached out and grabbed him by the collar, “I don’t f*cking
want your charity!”
Li Heran: “It’s the results of your efforts.”
Kim Sung-hyun gritted his teeth, “You… I… Damn it, you’ve been lying to
me the whole time!”
Li Heran bowed his head, “I’m sorry.”
Kim Sung-hyun didn’t want his apology. He wanted him to stand up, he
wanted him to be just like before, always walking in front of him, always
better than him, always more outstanding than him!
Li Heran shouldn’t be like this.

Even more, he shouldn’t have become like this because of him.
It had taken Kim Sung-hyun two years to build up the current Pro, two
years to return to the global finals, and two years to win the doubles
championship with Li Heran.
When they stood on the blinding stage, fans changed Kim Sung-hyun’s
name. Nobody remembered the former number one marksman Li Heran,
nobody remembered that the silent man who stood behind Kim Sung-hyun
had once been so brilliant and dazzling.
Kim Sung-hyun was not reconciled, and his heart was not willing.
He wanted the championship, wanted the real championship. He wanted to

tell Li Heran––
He’d never forgotten the promise they’d made when they were young.
They’d win the championship together, stand on the stage of the world’s
number one together, and become the strongest players that the world
recognized together!
He hadn’t forgotten, but did Li Heran still remember?
Kim Sung-hyun lit up a whole box of cigarettes, but none of them touched
his lips.
Yuan Ze told him, light a cigarette if you aren’t happy. It’ll burn away your
bad mood.
Kim Sung-hyun tossed the cigarette butts into the garbage can, then got up
to go back to the house.
He was going to win tomorrow’s competition.
He didn’t know how to get back the old Li Heran. The only thing he could
do was win.
Keep winning, continue winning, all the way until they fulfilled their
promise.
After going back upstairs, Wei Xiao went into the room just in time to see
the captain coming out of the bathroom.
Wei Xiaoxiao: “!”
Lu Feng had a towel tied around his waist. His upper body was still stained
with water, and his cold, pale skin looked like it was coated in a layer of
mist under the spotlights above his head.
Wei Xiao looked at him straight on, and his heart pounded thump-thump-
thump.
It was over! He wasn’t human!
Before, he’d been greedy for the captain’s skills, and now he wasn’t even
letting go of the person himself!
Lu Feng’s heart heated up under his gaze. He pulled on the bathrobe and
asked, “Where’d you go?”
Wei Xiao returned to his senses, resisting the impulse to do bad things, “I
couldn’t sleep, so I went downstairs for a walk.”
Lu Feng didn’t think too much about it. This hour really wasn’t Wei Xiao’s
sleeping time, “There’s a game tomorrow. Sleep earlier.”
Sleep earlier, sleep well, keep up his energy levels, win 10 million
tomorrow, then ask the captain…
Oh, he didn’t deserve to propose yet, but wanting a kiss was okay!
xiin: i read the comments from the last chapter~ so are you guys shipping
Yuan x Kim or Kim x Li now?
Ch82.2 - All over heaven and earth,
two hearts one mind, together
forever, true love has no limit
Wei Xiao happily went to take a bath. When he came out again, Lu Feng
was leaning against the head of the bed and flipping through a book.
Wei Xiao asked curiously, “What book is that?”
Lu Feng closed the book, turned off the light and said, “Sleep.”
Wei Xiao’s curiosity was piqued. He jumped onto his bed to read the title,
“… Razor’s Edge? W.S. Maugham’s book?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao frowned and didn’t say anything.
But Lu Feng could understand his thoughts, “You don’t like The Moon and
Sixpence?”
Wei Xiao’s voice was stuffy, “Never read it.”
Lu Feng rubbed his hair and said, “Go sleep early.”
Wei Xiao didn’t like The Moon and Sixpence, which had been a must-read
book during high school.
But Wei Xiao hadn’t read it. He couldn’t finish it.
The protagonist who’d left his wife and son to pursue his dream stabbed
fiercely at Wei Xiao.
Strickland had been very cool, giving up the sixpence on the ground and
looking up at the distant moon.
Wei Xiao’s father had also looked up at the moon in the sky, forgetting that
he had an elderly mother and young child.
Wei Xiao shook his head, unwilling to think about these messy things. He
turned to Lu Feng and said, “Captain…” His voice was very small.
Lu Feng lay down flat, “Can’t sleep?”
Wei Xiao said, “I met Kim Sung-hyun by the seaside.”
Lu Feng turned his head to look at him, “Mm?”
Wei Xiao forgot all of the bad things as soon as he thought about Lu Feng.
His voice lightened a bit, “He told me a lot about the time when you were
young.”
Lu Feng: “Young?”
Wei Xiao: “17 years old.”
Lu Feng: “Not much younger than you.”
Wei Xiao imitated him perfectly, “I don’t like talking to people. If you’re
lonely, you can go find someone else.”
Wei Xiao praised him, “Too cool!”
The captain was amazing, he’d managed to make Old Bandit Yuan suffer!
The corner of Lu Feng’s lips curved slightly.
Wei Xiao was now in high spirits. He pressed the pillow under his arm and
propped his cheek up to look over, “They thought that you were secretly
crying inside the room.”
Lu Feng: “It wasn’t that bad.”
Wei Xiao looked at him without blinking and softened his voice, “Captain,
you don’t hate them, right?”
Wei Xiao said, “Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun, Xie He, you like them, right.”
Even if they ultimately ended up scattered, Lu Feng liked the former FTW.
He liked the teammates who’d fought side by side with him, liked these
people who cared about him.
If he didn’t like them, why would he try so desperately to buy FTW.
If he didn’t like them, why would he work so hard to support a dying FTW.
The Team of Gods had dispersed, but Lu Feng kept guard over the former
FTW.
He maintained a home for everyone.
It was just that nobody came back.
Wei Xiao’s eyes were burning, and he couldn’t go on.
The more he understood, the more heartache he felt.
Everyone thought that the Close who’d stayed in FTW must hate all the
teammates who’d left.
In fact, he didn’t hate anyone. He just did what he could.
The old Team of Gods had given him warmth, and he was guarding this
warmth.
That was all.

Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, then sighed, “I don’t like them that
much.”
Wei Xiao blinked, “Hmm?”
Lu Feng turned to the side and a pair of black eyes looked calmly at Wei
Xiao, “Compared to you, there’s a big difference.”
Wei Xiao’s heart pounded.
He pinched the pillow between his elbows and was a little nervous, “I don’t
understand.” In fact, he understood it, he understood it very well, but he
wanted to hear more, and wanted to understand more.
Lu Feng’s long black eyelashes trembled slightly, “Sleep.”
Wei Xiao was anxious, “No… I really don’t understand, captain, you can’t
do that, you have to say things clearly!”
Wei Xiao wanted to run over to his bed and shake him.
Lu Feng whispered, “… I like you more.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
F*ck, he really wanted to hear it when he hadn’t heard it, but after hearing
it, he was now one millimeter away from dying on the spot!
Lu Feng covered up the throbbing in his voice, “Sleep now?”
Wei Xiao didn’t dare to provoke him more, “Sleeping!”
He hid in his quilt, wishing that the down quilt weighed 100 pounds, heavy
enough to flatten his damned heart.
It wasn’t a confession, it wasn’t a confession.

It was just the ‘liking’ amongst teammates, the straight man type.
But…
Wei Xiao was still so happy that flowers were blooming in his heart. He
was so happy that he wanted to go to the seaside and run three laps. He was
so happy that he wanted to drag out Kim Sung-hyun and Yuan Ze and tell
them loudly, “The captain likes me more!”
Wei Xiao didn’t know when he fell asleep, and Lu Feng wasn’t clear, either.
But, one thing was certain.
Their hearts were beating at the same frequency.
Equally fast, equally intense, equally trying hard to endure.
Every team got up early the next day.
After finishing breakfast by 8:30AM, they assembled at the banquet hall at

9:00AM.
The 12 into 6 competition round was divided into two batches that played at
the same time.
Otherwise, if each fight was one hour, one day of time wasn’t enough to
finish the competition.
FTW, L&P, and Pro were all in the first batch, and 3U was in the second
batch.
Chen Feng had been the one to draw lots for FTW yesterday. He hadn’t
dared to use ‘little black hand’ Brother Cai.
It wasn’t a big deal for free matching, but they should be calmer when it
came to a proper competition. It wouldn’t be beneficial for their follow-up
development if they encountered strong opponents in the very first round.
Chen Feng’s luck wasn’t bad. He drew a team from the Japanese
competition zone.
They weren’t particularly strong, but they weren’t too bad, either. They
were at about the same level as the previous FTW.
It was a pity that today’s FTW was no longer what it used to be. They’d
grown too much over just the training matches over this period of time.
Why did so many teams want to arrange training matches with strong
teams?
It was because the effect was significant.
One training session was worth three regular season games, and the pace of
progress was really different.
Competitive sports was mostly pitting the strong against the strong. With
better training opportunities, a player’s vision, skills, and mentality would
all be greatly improved.
FTW had trained often with L&P and Pro in recent days, and their
momentum was extraordinary even from the start of the game.
The team from Japan was also centered around a jungler core.
A jungler core…
Click to see how crazy Little Lunatic Wei was.
The game ended in 38 minutes. Quiet took a quadrakill and also picked up
the ‘legendary’ achievement for the game.
They won their game, and L&P and Pro also won theirs.
Wei Xiao glanced over and found that both teams were in good condition. It
was especially true for Pro; it was probably that Kim Sung-hyun had been
holding back for a long time. It didn’t matter whether it was a weak team or
not, he’d taken the gold hunter at the start of the game, and his ultimate
move was accurate across the entire map, directly shooting the other side
into seclusion.
When the settlement interface popped up, the entire live broadcast room
was stunned.
Kim Sung-hyun’s DPS accounted for 59% of the total.
Wei Xiao was also stunned, “This is f*cking record breaking!”
Brother Cai was also dazed, “Was God Kim injected with chicken blood?”
Wei Xiao leaned in close to him and chattered nonsense in a whisper, “I

think that your alt account can start work again.”
How exciting, Koi CP resurrects and lights up the arena!
Brother Cai’s heart was almost in his throat, “F*cking speak a little less.”
If his identity was revealed, he’d drag him down with him to die together!
Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry, nobody can hear me.”
Brother Cai’s heart was pounding like crazy, “Shut up!”
Wei Xiao grumbled, “It’s such good traffic that you’re not taking advantage
of, you…”
Brother Cai covered up his mouth.
Wei Xiao pulled his hand away, “What are you doing? Actually using your
hands.”
Wei Xiao glanced at the captain who was focused on watching the game,
and his heart itched, “Has there been any small articles about me and the
captain recently?”
Brother Cai’s ears hurt from listening. He wanted to pretend to be deaf.
Wei Xiao said, “It’s okay if you don’t send out anything about the Koi CP.
You can send out something about me and the captain.”
Stop hyping CPs just because he’d become enlightened?
Impossible.
He had to use even bigger moves now that he’d been enlightened. Wei Xiao
wished he could tie the two IDs of Close and Quiet together and dispel all
the evil cults.
Bai Cai ignored him.
Wei Xiao thought about it and was a little worried, “When you have nothing
else to do, help me think about a CP name for me and the captain.”
Bai Cai retorted, “There is one, the Seclusion CP!”
Wei Xiao was unhappy, “It’s unlucky. What’ll I do if it really makes me and
the captain go into seclusion?”
Brother Cai rolled his eyes, “What do you want to be called, then?”
Wei Xiao thought about it, “For example, all over heaven and earth, two
hearts one mind, together forever, true love has no limit CP?”
Brother Vegetable: “………………………………”
Wei Xiao: “Too long?”
Brother Cai: “Get lost, ahhh!”
There was only one restriction for the 6 into 2 games. L&P, who’d been
ranked 1st, wouldn’t be matched up with Pro, who was ranked 2nd.
As for the remaining four teams, it depended on their luck.

Chen Feng went out for the draw and was stunned for a moment when he
saw the name of the team.
Little Ning was very nervous, “The coach’s face doesn’t look right. Could it
be that we won the lottery?”
Wei Xiao wasn’t scared, “Every opponent we take down is one less
opponent to fight! It’ll happen sooner or later!”
Then, the match ups were announced.
FTW’s opponent was…
Bai Cai narrowed his eyes.
Wei Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Little Ning read out the name of the team, “OD?”
Enemies were really bound to meet on a narrow road. They’d actually

managed to run into Zhou Xingfei’s team again.
Wei Xiao laughed briefly, “Old Bai, it’s a god given opportunity.”
Last time, they’d only taken OD’s points for the day when they won. But
today’s win would shatter their dreams of ten million dollars.
OD also saw the match list. Their group of people all turned to stare in their
direction; the game hadn’t yet started, but the scent of gunpowder had
already drifted into the air.
The teams on the scene all knew about the grudges between these two
teams and were instantly excited to see them fight again.
Nobody at the scene felt more miserable than Zhou Xingfei did.
After they’d lost last time, it had taken him over ten days to fix his image.
Now…
Damn it.
Zhou Xingfei stared hard at Bai Cai, vowing that he’d clear up his previous
shame.
There were only three games for the 6 into 3 round. This time, the games
were no longer held at the same time and were to be played one after
another.
The live broadcast was online, and the commentators were ready to go. The
scale for this round was quite different from 12 into 6.
If they lost here, they would be losing face in front of the whole world.
Wei Xiao rubbed his fists, “Let’s go.”
Everyone was full of energy, “Okay!”
Last time when FTW played against OD, it had been the first time that Wei
Xiao and Lu Feng had switched positions. Now, more than 10 days had
passed, and it was time for them to experience FTW’s real top-jungler
linkage.
They’d just entered the BP interface when Lu Feng murmured, “Do you
want to try the power thief?”
Chen Feng frowned, “Quiet hasn’t used the power thief very much.”
Lu Feng looked at Wei Xiao from the corner of his eye.
Wei Xiao understood, “Okay!”
Lu Feng: “I’ll use the blood warrior.”
Chen Feng was silent for a moment, “You’ll lose if you underestimate the
enemy.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were shining and eager, “It won’t happen.”
He would never lose. His goal was the 10 million at the very end!
Last time when FTW and OD had played against each other, FTW’s top
lane had used the flying warrior, and the junger had used the immortal thief;
OD’s top lane had used the blood warrior, and their jungler used the power
thief.
FTW had won.
Many haters had said that FTW won due to their line-up, because the
immortal thief and flying warrior were too agile, and OD’s power thief was
a utility jungler; Zhou Xingfei hadn’t lost to Quiet, rather, he’d lost due to
natural talent restraints.
If he had a strong jungler talent, he would also be able to suppress Quiet

and beat him up.
The water army had already been going on about this for half a month.
It was even to the point where some people said that FTW was fighting
over the smallest of trifles and didn’t have the aura of a big team. These
words were really disgraceful.
Wei Xiao had ignored these bullshit words.
But ignoring it didn’t mean he didn’t know about it. These flies that were
buzzing around were very annoying; it was impossible to beat them all to
death, but it was at least possible to beat this particular one to death.
Didn’t Zhou Xingfei want to use the talent’s natural restraint to wash his
reputation clean?
Wei Xiao had already taken the power thief. If he had the ability, then he’d
take the immortal thief.
Let’s see if ‘natural restraint’ was willing to take this blame or not!
The audience watching the live broadcast also understood within seconds,
“F*ck, is FTW really so confident!”
“It’ll be funny if they screw up.”
“Quiet is using the power thief? Can he do it?”
It was true that Wei Xiao hadn’t used the power thief in 5v5 before, but
he’d used it too many times in solo games and couldn’t possibly be any
more familiar with it.
Especially when it came to soloing against an immortal thief with the power
thief.
He didn’t even know how many times Lu Feng had used it to force him into
tears.
Ch83.1 - Close deserved all the
glory in the world.
The BP for both sides ended and the line-up was determined.
FTW: Blood warrior, power thief, fire mage, giant shaman, gold hunter.
OD: Flying warrior, immortal thief, ice mage, earth priest, gunslinger.
Obviously, FTW had directly taken the same line-up that OD had used last
time when they fought. Every talent was exactly the same; it was a perfect
recreation.
In comparison, OD’s side hadn’t been able to do the same. Their top-lane,
mid-lane and jungler heroes were the same ones FTW had used last time,
but their marksman and support talents had been changed.
Back then, Bai Cai’s medicine warlock had been strong enough to turn the
tables with a dazzling performance.
This time, OD’s support player didn’t dare to take the medicine warlock. It
wasn’t a support talent that just anyone could play, and it was even less
likely that just anyone could win with it.
OD’s line-up this time had taken FTW’s line-up advantages from last time
and made up for their shortcomings. The line-up was stronger than the
previous FTW line-up.
There was a lot of sighing in the live broadcast studio:
“OD really can’t do it. FTW’s already attacking them so directly. What the
hell are they scared for.”
“They’ve been using the talent restraint excuse to wash themselves white
for half a month, and FTW has now given them a chance. Why don’t they
hurry up and redo it completely?”
“Wash, keep washing. Use a line-up that’s even stronger than FTW’s line-
up last time. It’ll be fun to watch when they lose.”
“There’s really a problem with this water army that OD purchased. Weren’t
they worried that they might encounter FTW in the prize pool
competition?”
“They’re probably anxious. Zhou Xingfei’s now infamous and eager to

wash himself white.”
“The prize pool competition isn’t a round robin system. After a round of
games, maybe Zhou Xingfei thought that FTW would have been
eliminated.”
“Yeah, sitting around and waiting for OD to eliminate FTW.”
“The irony in the previous message is great.”
The audience weren’t fools. Anyone who used their brains a little could
understand what Zhou Xingfei was trying to do.
Over ten days ago, he’d been hammered over the head by FTW until he was
bleeding, and the most humiliating thing was the apology––it was solid
proof that he’d harmed Bai Cai before, and he couldn’t clean up his
reputation.
In order to save face, he drew the focus of the conversation to the game and
said that he’d lost wrongly and unfairly due to OD’s weak line-up.
Zhou Xingfei felt that the next game between OD and FTW would be
during the global competition. By then, the wave of interest would be over,
and OD, who would’ve gone through an entire season in Europe, would
absolutely be able to surpass FTW.
In e-sports, being a loser was the greatest sin.

As long as he won, he would have the absolute right to speak!
However…
FTW grew faster than he’d expected, easily winning the 12 into 6 round in
the prize pool competition, and then encountering OD in the 6 into 3 round.
Watching FTW choose talents, Zhou Xingfei’s teammates said, “Since

FTW is using our line-up, we’ll take theirs!”
Zhou Xingfei was still cowering. He didn’t want to lose; he absolutely

didn’t want to lose a second time.
So, he said, “Let’s not take them seriously. Our goal is the 10 million.”
These words were spoken with inspiring righteousness, and their coach
agreed, “Don’t be impulsive. Since they don’t want to win, we won’t be
polite, and we will win the game!”
Zhou Xingfei gritted his teeth, “Yes!”
Was FTW motivated?
Didn’t FTW want the 10 million?
Wei Xiao wanted it so much he was about to go crazy!
He’d never taken money so seriously in his life!
At the start of the game, the power thief lay in ambush in the middle of the
map.
Commentator A: “Is FTW taking First Blood at the start of the game?”
“OD’s ice mage is really weak in the early stages. If the power thief is able
to catch him, the fire mage’s high explosive damage will likely kill him.”
“Quiet hasn’t played much with the power thief, right? Playing it really
relies on one’s feel for the hero.”
“Especially when it comes to the first skill’s ground stab. Predicting the
enemy’s position is very important.”
“It landed!”
On the big screen, the power thief crouching in the grass threw out a ground
stab just as the ice mage came out to clear the lane soldiers.
This skill was the power thief’s core skill. Once an enemy was stabbed,
vines would be generated beneath their feet. The bewitched hero would lose
control and head towards the power thief.
Wei Xiao: “Little Ning!”
Ning Zhehan had long been waiting for this opportunity, “Got it!”
The fire mage used its first skill, shooting out nine fireballs in three lines.
Bang, bang, bang!
At least six of the fireballs hit the ice mage!
Fireball damage would stack. The more fireballs hit, the more damage they
would cause. The frail and weak ice mage’s little body instantly lost all its
health.
Wei Xiao stabbed his blade in at just the right time, “Take the kill.”
Ning Zhehan didn’t bother being polite and used a basic attack to take away
the ice mage’s life.
FTW was off to a great start!
And it was the relatively weak mid-lane mage who’d taken First Blood!
The scrolling comments were filled up with a large stretch of ‘6666’.
“Quiet is pretty good. The damage dealt by that last knife attack was
controlled well.”
“I thought he would take First Blood. I thought this brat would try to snatch
up farm even with a power thief.”
“At the end, the fire mage was bouncing and jumping as it took a kill with a
basic attack. Inexplicably sweet.”
“Yingyingying, I also want a power thief like that who gives me kills.”
“FTW’s entire team is so easy to ship, I can do Wei-Ning, too!”
In the team chat, Wei Xiao laughed briefly, “Captain, do you want to take a
pentakill.”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao thought about the first time he’d played as a proper
accompanying player. The captain had used the ID LU and played a fire
mage, bouncing and jumping around the map, acting well-behaved and
cute, putting on a wonderful performance as a newbie.
At the time, Wei Xiao had sent him a pentakill, then said some very cliché
words of romance.
This time, Wei Xiao looked at Ning Zhehan’s fire mage and thought of the
boss’s fire mage.
He was done for.
They were playing in a competition, but his heart had already begun to
jump around.
Lu Feng didn’t have the same rich imagination as he did and only thought
that he wanted to play around again.
The more Wei Xiao thought about it, the more exciting he felt it was, “In
the entire winter training competition, nobody else has taken a pentakill,
right?”
Brother Cai: “Nope.”

During the 15 days of winter training, there were three points competition
games every night, but because of the change in rules, powerful teams
could only play four times.
After FTW used up their chances, L&P and Pro also lost the opportunity to
play.
In the professional arena, it wasn’t that easy to take a pentakill.
No matter how bad the players’ abilities were, they were still all
professional players. Even in a situation where one side overwhelmed the
other side, it wasn’t easy to get a pentakill.
Across the entire prize pool competition, nobody had ever won a pentakill.
Wei Xiao wanted to give one to Lu Feng.
Close deserved all the glory in the world.
Wei Xiao stared at the screen, and his side profile was unprecedentedly
serious.
“What did the FTW team say? Why is Quiet so serious?”
“Ahhhh, I love Wei Xiao’s face, he’s so sweet it melts my heart when he
smiles, but when he’s not smiling, it’s so explosively alpha. How could
there be a little brother like this who can be both sweet and salty.”
“I’m a little flustered. Our FTW has an advantage, right? Why is he so

serious?”
“It can’t really be considered an advantage. Although they managed to get a

First Blood from the mid-lane, they tossed away a small portion of their
jungle zone. OD’s still stable.”
Unfortunately, the winter competition team chats hadn’t been released to

the public, and the audience didn’t know what was going on in FTW’s team
chat.
After the training camp was completely over and the special cuts edition
was released, Quiet would probably gain a few new titles.
Something like ‘Glory’s trash talk king’, ‘Glory’s flirting god’, ‘Glory’s
wildest jungler king’, and other such titles would be strung up on the hot
search.
The power thief was a completely different system and playstyle from the
shadow thief, hidden thief, and immortal thief.
It was to the point where there were teams who tried to find different ways
to play, using the power thief in the support position. This was enough to
explain the power thief’s attributes.
It was tanky, its DPS was a little worse than others, but it had strong
functionality.
The power thief had an advantage over the other thief talents, which was
that it didn’t require a lot of farm.
The bonus that equipment gave the power thief was far less than that of its
‘compatriots’. A piece of completed gear could make an immortal thief
change from being a younger brother to a father, but for a power thief, it
would only lift it up from being a younger brother to the eldest brother. The
difference wasn’t very significant, and at the same time, it wouldn’t drag its
team members down without the equipment.
So, most power thief players would let other players in the team take the
farmed resources.
For example, Pro. If Park Guizhi took the power thief, then the resources of
the entire jungle zone were basically all given to Kim Sung-hyun.
Feeding one’s own core DPS player until they were full and satisfied would
mean that the power thief had already demonstrated huge value.
Wei Xiao’s character was that of a typical c-position.

He dared to charge in, dared to fight, dared to lead the rhythm of the game.
At the same time, his skills passed the standard, he made very few mistakes,
and could afford to show off.
He was hot blooded and passionate, but also reliable and able to bear
pressure. Looking through the entirety of Glory, the players who had this
kind of temperament all supported the team on their shoulders and stood
very high up.
However, this type of player also had one fatal flaw, which was, conceit.
They were used to taking themselves as the core, used to fighting for farm,
and used to having all their teammates support them. So, they couldn’t use
this kind of functional talent spec hero.
How Wei Xiao would turn out in the future was difficult to predict, but at
the very least, his style right now hadn’t yet been set in stone.
His power thief was very ‘humble’.

Ch83.2 - Suddenly, Lu Feng seemed
to realize something.
translator: xiin editors: apricot & juuensha
In the mid-lane, he helped Ning Zhehan suppress their opponent, then he

went down to the bottom lane to help Yue Wenle kill the other side’s
marksman.
Bai Cai stayed in the bottom lane and protected Yue Wenle constantly. Wei
Xiao became another support player in the team, providing vision in the
jungle, reporting the enemy’s position, and catching people like crazy.
The rhythm of this series of moves was too fierce, and OD found it a little
difficult to catch their breath.
Zhou Xingfei stared fixedly at the screen and said, “Don’t panic. His
bottom jungle zone is mine. Our resources are stable!”
The disadvantage of Wei Xiao catching people everywhere was that he

couldn’t control his own jungle.
Zhou Xingfei stared at the economic panel, watching as his own immortal
thief continuously accumulated wealth, gradually surpassing the power
thief.
Two thousand.
As long as he could have 2000 more farm than the power thief, he would be
able to crush this arrogant and domineering Quiet!
He’d wait until he had three full pieces of equipment. The immortal thief
who had explosive damage gear would definitely be able to call up the
storm and stir up the winds.
Zhou Xingfei didn’t want to lose. He’d already lost once, and if he lost
again this time…
He absolutely couldn’t lose!
This was a newcomer king who’d never been on the battlefield. Why was
he better than him!
Zhou Xingfei hated Wei Xiao.
It wasn’t just because of the trap from last time, but also due to old
resentments from nearly two years ago.
When he first met Bai Cai, Bai Cai had said to him, “Last year’s newcomer
king is much stronger than you are.”
At the time, Zhou Xingfei had cursed Wei Xiao in his heart, but in order to
flatter Bai Cai, he could only desperately try to endure and go against his
heart to coax Bai Cai, “I will try hard, I’ll become just as strong as he is!”
What was so strong about him?
He was a piece of trash who’d fled, a piece of trash who didn’t even dare to
face the competition arena!
How could he lose to such a guy?!
How could he lose to a guy that the idiot Bai Cai valued so much?!
Finally, Zhou Xingfei accumulated enough farm, enough to kill Wei Xiao.
He stopped clearing out jungle monsters and snatching lane soldiers like
crazy, and started to lie in ambush in a place where the power thief had to
walk past.
He had 2000 more farm than Wei Xiao.
He had one more piece of completed equipment than Wei Xiao did.
He had set up the ambush ahead of time.
He would definitely be able to kill him!
The audience in the scrolling comments were all caught up in the

moment––
“It’s over, it’s over, the dog Zhou Xingfei wants to ambush my God Q.”
“The power thief’s farm is over 1000 gold less than the immortal thief’s. He
can’t win!”
“In this game, Wei Xiao was really amazing. He gave all the resources to
his teammates, and Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle have almost been raised up
into fat piggies by him.”
“So, he’s going to be hammered into the ground by Zhou Xingfei.”
“Shit, I don’t want to see it. Aggrieved.”
“Trash Zhou Xingfei, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If he’s got
the skills, go to the top lane and mess with my great demon king, hey.”
“Calm down, previous poster. Zhou Xingfei’s just bad, not stupid.”
“The great demon king is number one in resources, with 2000 more gold
than the immortal thief. Mess with him? Zhou Xingfei might as well go
directly to the Pacific Ocean and feed the fish.”
“Reasonably speaking, I think that Zhou Xingfei has already lost his mind.
He’s been staring at Wei Xiao the whole time, but OD is clearly already
done for in this game…”
All three lanes had collapsed. Could a single Zhou Xingfei turn the tables?
So what if he killed Wei Xiao? Wouldn’t he just end up surrounded and

beaten to death in return?
What’s more, would he even be able to kill Wei Xiao?

Wei Xiao entered the area.
After waiting for so long, Zhou Xingfei’s fingers were trembling slightly.
He used a movement skill and arrived right in front of Wei Xiao, and his
second movement skill knocked the power thief dizzy. The combo attack
that he’d suppressed for so long exploded out, instantly sending the power
thief into critical health.
The camera cut to Wei Xiao. Wei Xiao’s expression wasn’t even the
slightest bit flustered. His fingers flew over the keyboard as he skillfully
manipulated the hero to avoid taking damage. He moved to the side to fight
back, and even though his health bar had dropped to a red sliver, he was still
calmly keeping himself alive.
This face of his was too photogenic. Adding on his expression and attitude,
the audience’s goodwill bar filled up instantly.
Well done, young man!
On the screen, the power thief was still left with only a sliver of health, but
the immortal thief had also lost more than half of its health.
Reasonably speaking, as long as the immortal thief’s blade swept across

lightly, the power thief would be done for.
Who could’ve known that at this very critical time, the power thief would
throw out a ground stab.
The commentator reacted immediately, “He’s going to counter kill!”
“The immortal thief has already used up all its skills. He obviously
underestimates the power thief’s tankiness and didn’t think that he would
fail to kill him after using up an entire set of skills.”
“The immortal thief’s sword didn’t land, and he’s been caught by the
ground stab!”
The power thief who now had an ultimate move could strengthen its ground
stab. The immortal thief lost control completely, the hero moving towards
the power thief without any resistance.
The audience in the scrolling comments also had their hearts in their
throats, “That’s not good, once the immortal thief gets close, he can simply
stab the power thief to death with a light poke.”
“F*ck, the great demon king clicked teleport!”
“OD’s top-laner is coming over, too!”
“Things are exciting now. FTW and OD have all gathered together!”
“Even if the immortal thief kills the power thief, he’ll definitely die.”
“Not only that, this is going to be a huge group war!”
Almost in the blink of an eye, the immortal thief came close to the power
thief, its loss of control still in effect. However, Zhou Xingfei wasn’t
panicked, because based on his current health volume and the power thief’s
DPS ability, it was impossible for him not to be able to kill him.
He could kill Wei Xiao, he could definitely do it.
There was a gold flash, and Close dropped down from the sky.
Zhou Xingfei’s heart stuttered, but he said in the team chat, “I’m definitely
dead, but I can still take Wei Xiao down, and Close’s health won’t be
healthy, either. We can fight this group battle!”
From a normal point of view, there was nothing wrong with his judgement.
Unfortunately, his opponents weren’t very normal.
The immortal thief regained control and swept out with its sword. The
power thief who was at critical health fell to the ground.
Close’s scarlet blade stabbed out, and the immortal thief was killed.
At the same time, the power thief stood back up again.

The commentators could see the situation much clearer than the audience
could, “Resurrection armor!”
“One second before the immortal thief’s blade swept over, the power thief
sold its black blade and forcibly obtained the resurrection armor.”
“This loss is too big. He can’t deal DPS even if he stands back up again.”
“Could it be…”
“FTW wants to end the game!”
At first, the OD team members who’d come over to provide support weren’t
panicked.
Although they’d been killed many times in the early stages, their farm
hadn’t dropped too far behind. Zhou Xingfei’s ambush on Wei Xiao had not
only killed the power thief, but also forced out the blood warrior’s ultimate
move.
From this perspective, OD had the advantage.
After winning the group fight, OD could turn their disadvantage into
victory.
But…
The power thief wasn’t dead.
He had even sold his core DPS equipment and bought the resurrection
armor ahead of time.
This was very crazy, it was too crazy.
It had to be known that one would lose half their money if they sold a piece
of completed equipment during the game. For example, the power thief had
used 2000 gold to buy the black blade, and sold it for only 1000.
His farm was already very low. Without DPS, and having wasted 1000 gold,
what was the point in standing back up again?
What was the point of a power thief in straw sandals using resurrection
armor at all?
Wei Xiao used practical actions to tell everyone––it was of great use.
He used a single ground stab and gathered together three of OD’s players.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle’s DPS smashed down together.
The three people from OD had confused expressions on their faces.
Wei Xiao spoke excitedly, “Captain, I want to see you take a pentakill!”
The blood warrior bathed in blood. Surrounded by a bloody mist, the scarlet
longsword seemed to darken into a deep black color.
The blood warrior, whose farm was the highest in the entire field, who had
a full set of equipment and could deal massive DPS, cut down the three
people from OD with one knife.
This left the OD who’d just taken an entire wave of damage in the face
completely stunned.
This wasn’t a blood warrior, it was a f*cking devil, ahhhh!!!
FTW.Close double kill.
FTW.Close triple kill.
FTW.Close quadrakill.
FTW.Close pentakill!
OD, wiped out.
Not to mention the scrolling comments in the live broadcast, even the teams
at the banquet hall sucked in a breath.
The commentator raised his voice and said, “Congratulations to Close on

getting a pentakill!”
“The first pentakill in winter training!”
“Congratulations to FTW for winning the game!”
After killing off everyone on the opposite side, FTW pushed all the way to
the OD crystal and rushed into the top three of the prize pool competition.
After exploding the other party’s resurrection crystal, Wei Xiao looked at
Lu Feng, “Captain!”
Wei Xiao’s lips moved.
Lu Feng’s pupils contracted. He remembered now.
During that game in the bronze segment when they’d been messing
around…
Lu Feng had used the fire mage and gotten the easiest pentakill ever.
The youth’s pleasant voice had penetrated into his heart through the
headset––
The pentakill is yours, and you belong to me.
Suddenly, Lu Feng seemed to realize something.
xiin: getting sooo close~

Ch84 - Mess with Proud Flower
Kim
The cheers from the audience in the entire room were layered with a
wonderful analysis of the last group battle.
“Quiet has taken the functional jungler to the extreme.”
“He was able to determine win or lose while wearing straw sandals. This
power thief is really good!”
The discussions in the scrolling comments were even more heated.
“This FTW jungler has some substance.”
“This ground stab can be included in a wonderful highlights replay!”
“Really amazing. He stood up with the resurrection armor and bewitched

three people. Was this really a power thief?”
“That was a f*cking siren, right!”
“Hey, now that you say it, Quiet’s appearance, really doesn’t lose out to a
siren.”
The CP fans chattered quietly, “It’s over, it’s over, my heart.”
“The great demon king’s pentakill was an opportunity given to him by the
power thief ahhhhh!”
“Fellow sisters, I can read lips clearly, this section… Quiet was saying…”
“Pentakill is yours…”
“You belong to me…”
“Holy shit!”
The ‘all over heaven and earth, two hearts one mind, together forever, true
love has no limit’ sisters all spiraled up to heaven!
After winning the game, FTW showed enough of a gentlemanly style.
They shook hands and embraced every OD player except for Zhou Xingfei.
Zhou Xingfei, who was snubbed and left out, couldn’t manage his own
expression at all beneath the cameras. His entire posture and attitude was
negative.
Lu Feng wasn’t very clear about how they stepped down from the stage.
His mind was full of Wei Xiao’s last words.
It wasn’t any different from his usual provocative words, and Bai Cai and
the others had directly rolled their eyes when they heard it.
Reasonably speaking, Lu Feng shouldn’t have taken it seriously, but for

some reason, he couldn’t forget about it.
It was like he’d been bewitched by the power thief’s first skill, his eyes kept
drifting towards Wei Xiao’s body.
Wei Xiao… he…
“Captain?” Wei Xiao came close and called out to him.
Lu Feng looked at the handsome face that was coming closer. Without
thinking about it, he opened his mouth and asked, “What are you trying to
do?”

Lu Feng’s black eyes were very deep, staring into his eyes as though he was
trying to cause him to burst into flames, “After winning the game, what
exactly did you want to do?”
Why would he suddenly ask this all of a sudden!
Wei Xiao’s heart felt guilty, and his gaze skittered away, “You-you
shouldn’t pour cold water over me at this time.”
They were about to start the semi-finals game. It was unknown whether
FTW would be lucky or not, and they didn’t know if they’d be playing one
game or two.
Captain, don’t attack him at such a critical moment.
Lu Feng caught his wrist, “Wei Xiao…”
Chen Feng asked, “Who will go up and draw lots?”
The fire that was burning on the tip of his heart gradually subsided.
It wasn’t the right time.
They were still competing, and now wasn’t the time to talk about it.
After forcing his throbbing heart back down, Lu Feng made use of his
superior self-control and stabilized his mind, “I’ll go.”
Chen Feng was a little shocked, “You’ll… go?”
This was too unexpected.
The top three places had already been determined. There was no suspense
for L&P and Pro, and FTW had also just broken their way out of the siege.
Although 3U had lost to L&P, they’d played beautifully and could feel
proud despite their defeat.
Three teams had broken out of the crowd at the end.
Because there was only a prize for first place, there wasn’t much
significance in having a wheel battle.
They’d draw lots, and those who drew to play would fight. If they won,
they’d enter the finals, if they lost, they’d be eliminated. There wasn’t much
of a problem there.
After all, there was no difference between second and third place.
If they lost, they lost. There was no need to give second chances.
In fact, Chen Feng had asked who would go up to draw lots because he
wanted to see what Wei Xiao wanted.
Intellectually, Chen Feng held no hope for the final bonus.
There was a L&P and a Pro, neither of which were teams that today’s FTW
could challenge.
Their chances of winning were too slim. It was better to grasp this once-in-
a-lifetime opportunity and train well instead.
In the arena, every regular fight to win was countless times more effective
than a standard training match.
The emotions were different, their mental states were different, the
atmosphere was different, and the desire and determination to win were
even more different.
To say more about it, no matter how much they trained and recapped, none
of it was as fast or effective as a real bullet and gun.
Chen Feng wanted them to play two games. If they lost, then they lost, but
every game they played was a game where they learned!
He had originally thought that Wei Xiao, who let things get to his head,
would be the one to draw lots. Unexpectedly, it was Lu Feng who’d spoken
up to go.
He always had the feeling that Lu Feng’s mood was a little off, especially
when it came to the gaze he used to look at Wei Xiao…
Chen Feng’s heart clenched: No way, at such a critical time, you… you
can’t hold back anymore?
Lu Feng managed to hold back.
His heart was beating very fast, and his palms were sweating.
However, he didn’t say anything, and he didn’t even look towards Wei
Xiao.
He couldn’t ask, and he didn’t dare to ask.
If Wei Xiao really liked him.
The emotions that Lu Feng had accumulated over such a long time would
completely break through the shackles he’d placed on them.
And right now, he definitely couldn’t lose control.
Banquet hall.
Live stream studio.
Countless pairs of eyes from around the world were watching them.
The most urgent thing that FTW needed to do now was to win the
competition.
One game, or two games, they would win them all!
Lu Feng was eager for victory, more so than he’d been for any other
previous game.
Yuan Ze came up to draw lots for L&P, and for Pro, it was Kim Sung-hyun.
The three starters from the Team of Gods were gathered together on the
stage for this kind of situation; it was indeed something to sigh over.
All the cameras were focused on them, and the three people who had
outstanding appearances were particularly brilliant beneath the spotlights.
The beautiful little sister host’s voice was a little weak, “Come on then, let’s
have a look at the results…”
Oh man, they all said that the e-sports circle was filled with round, fat, and
ugly players. Why were the auras of these three so stunning then, with each
one seeming more like a superstar than the previous one?!
Both Kim Sung-hyun and Lu Feng had cold expressions on their faces. One
was like a proud flower of Kaolin, while the other was unapproachable and
indifferent.
Scum Man Yuan’s peach blossom aura was completely at odds with the
other two.
Yuan Ze stood closer to them than the host and could feel the contrast more
deeply. He muttered to himself in his heart: What was up with these two
brats.
Nothing was up.
They just wanted to win.
Kim Sung-hyun wanted to win, and Lu Feng also wanted to win!
The results were announced. Yuan Ze had drawn a blank, and the teams that
had to fight were FTW and Pro.
Wei Xiao sucked in a breath.
Brother Cai, who was beside him, could sense it, “What, you’re nervous?”
Wei Xiao spoke seriously, “Old Bai, I want to win.”

Wei Xiao exhaled lightly and said, “Support me. I have to win this game!”
He was speaking to Bai Cai, but his eyes were locked on Lu Feng.
It just so happened that Lu Feng was also looking at him.
Across the stage, across the lights, across countless things that they couldn’t
see or identify clearly, they looked at each other.
At that moment, everything in Wei Xiao’s chest was clamoring to win the
game.
Victory became the only way for him to vent the emotions that had been
squeezed to the extreme.
He can’t stand it anymore.
He couldn’t hold it back.
He liked this person and wanted him. It was that simple.
Lu Feng was the first to shift his gaze away. It had already reached this
point. If he still didn’t know how Wei Xiao felt, then it would be purposeful
self-deception.
When did it start?
When had Wei Xiao started…
Lu Feng took a light breath and emptied his mind.
He couldn’t think about it.
This wasn’t the time to think about these things.
They would have an endless amount of time to think about it after winning
the game.
When they went up onto the stage again, both FTW and Pro were in high
spirits.
This was a level of seriousness that could be seen by the naked eye, and it
was an unreserved, passionate desire for battle.
This game was only two steps away from the winter training championship.
If they won, they could rush towards first place, plundering the ten million
prize pool that had been accumulated over the past 15 days and achieve a
triumphant victory.
If they lost, they could only withdraw from the competition regretfully. If
they wanted to compete again, they would have to wait until a few months
later, during the global competition.
This would be the last regular formal game between FTW and Pro.
And it was also their second game.
In the first game, Pro’s captain Li Heran had been absent due to a hand
injury, and Pro had lost to FTW.
In this second game, Li Heran was sitting steadily on the stage, and the
white bandage that had blocked his wrist from view was no longer there.
Would the Pro who was in its full state lose to FTW?
There was no doubt that this was Pro’s battle to clear their previous shame!
The BP segment soon began.
Pro released many assassin type heroes, a move that was full of
provocation.
Kim Sung-hyun wasn’t afraid of any type of thief. He used the BP segment
to convey this to the whole world.
They were welcome to charge in and attack. Pro was 100% based around its
marksman core, and if they had the ability, then come over and cut him to
death!
Chen Feng glanced at Wei Xiao, “Shadow thief?”
He hadn’t used the shadow thief in a long time, but this was undoubtedly
Wei Xiao’s best hero.
The audience watched as FTW took the shadow thief, and they couldn’t
help but whistle in front of their computers.
Close’s shadow thief was countless people’s faith.
Quiet’s shadow thief, could it carry on this glory?
Lu Feng took the death knight.
The commentators: “The scent of gunpowder fills the air!”
“Death knight plus shadow thief. They are really targeting Kim Sung-hyun
to death.”
“They’re right to target Kim Sung-hyun. However, when it comes to Pro,

they’re very much not afraid of God Kim being targeted.”
“Whether FTW’s blade is tougher or Pro’s arrows are sharper, let’s wait and
see!”
The BP ended. Both sides were clearly determined and grabbed advantages
in their line-ups.
FTW’s side: Death knight, shadow thief, immortal warlock, light priest,
storm hunter.
Pro: Divine warrior, power thief, ice mage, elemental shaman, gold hunter.
From this line-up, it could be seen how exciting this game would be. FTW’s
entire line-up was a direct attack line-up. There was no need to mention
their top-lane and jungler; as long as the opportunity was there, they could
insta-kill the heavens, earth, and everything else in between; their mid-lane
immortal warlock was also an assassin mage type talent, if he could grasp
the opportunity, he could fly up into the sky and take away the opposing
side’s c-position with a set of skills; the storm hunter was even more
famous for its flexibility, once it was played well, the other side’s gold
hunter would be beat up until they entered seclusion.
FTW’s intentions were written all over their faces––they’d mess with Proud
Flower Kim, mess with him until he died.
Pro was also very straightforward. The divine warrior tended towards
support, their power thief was a functional type jungler, their ice mage was
strong at providing control, and the elemental shaman was Li Heran’s best
hero. If the skills were used well, it would allow his teammates to sit back
up constantly (resurrection skill).
Kim Sung-hyun’s gold hunter didn’t need to be explained further.
In a wonderful match during last year’s global elimination series, everyone

suspected that the ‘gold’ from the gold hunter was actually named for Kim
Sung-hyun’s surname.
It was too amazing…
His ultimate move was accurate across the entire map.
He’d sniped countless players into seclusion.
The match began.
The BO1 competition system made this game extremely tense.
It left no room for mistakes, made no allowances for slow warm-ups, and
they had to be in a winning state right from the start.
They would either win or be eliminated.

Both sides only had one chance.
Wei Xiao: “Captain, the opposite side’s red.”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Brother Vegetable’s light priest followed Wei Xiao the whole time.
In fact, Bai Cai wasn’t very interested in today’s competition.
Although there was 10 million if they won, the likelihood of that was too
slim.
As everyone knew, the champion would be either L&P or Pro.
FTW had won against Pro when they were in a bad state previously, but it
was too much to want to win against Pro when they were at their full state.
It wasn’t self-deprecation. This was a reasonable, rational analysis.
Maybe FTW could win in the global competition.
However, it was very difficult for the FTW who had only been broken in for
a short ten days to break down the powerful team Pro.
Bai Cai had the attitude of learning and experiencing when he participated
in the game, but Wei Xiao was too serious.
He had always been serious when it came to all matches, but this time, he
was more serious than before.
Serious to the point where even Bai Cai’s nerves were tensed up, and he
didn’t dare to relax in the slightest.
After executing a sneak attack on the opposite side’s red buff, Wei Xiao
quickly went back to clean up his top jungle zone, then turned to enter the
bottom jungle zone.
Bai Cai provided vision for him the whole way, “It feels like Kim Sung-
hyun is there.”
Wei Xiao: “Screw him.”
Bai Cai’s heart leapt up to his throat, “You…”
Wei Xiao knew what he was curious about, “I want to win.”
Bai Cai: “I know, but your current state…” Is too focused on winning.
Everyone in the team chat could hear their conversation.
Wei Xiao didn’t try to avoid it and said directly, “I want to win and do
something.”
Brother Cai couldn’t keep himself from asking, “Do what?”
Wei Xiao looked at Kim Sung-hyun’s figure, and the corners of his lips
curved up, “The most important event of one’s life.”
Ch85 - Big brother, I want to win
His voice had just fallen when the shadow thief stepped forward, throwing
its shadow attack onto the gold hunter’s back. The short blade stabbed him
in the waist.
Kim Sung-hyun’s reactions were very quick. Although he was wounded by

the attack, he immediately used flash and pulled away from the shadow
thief.
If there had been the slightest bit of hesitation in his movements, the gold
hunter would already be dead.
Li Heran’s recovery totem stabbed into the ground beside the gold hunter,
replenishing his health second by second.
Bai Cai was startled by Wei Xiao’s words, but his hands didn’t slow down
at all. He understood this beast too well. If he made a mistake at such a
critical moment, Wei Xiao would eat him alive!
The light priest’s first skill flew out. He came out of the grass to provide
vision, and at the same time, the skill locked in on the nearest target.
Li Heran blocked in front of Kim Sung-hyun and took the brunt of the
control skill.
Wei Xiao: “Tsk.”
The shadow thief didn’t pause at all. As soon as his skill cooldown ended,
he immediately jumped up again. Although he didn’t have his ultimate
move yet and couldn’t brush out any light arcs, combining his first and
second skill was already enough to deal explosive damage.
Li Heran wasn’t anxious or hurried. The totems in his hands switched out
very quickly, smashing right into the shadow thief.
Kim Sung-hyun hid behind his captain’s body, and the golden arrows fell
down like rain…
Was the first kill of the game about to explode here?!
Which team would be graced by First Blood?
Everyone stared nervously at the screen, watching this shadow thief who
was like a newborn calf that was unafraid of the tiger, and the gold hunter
who trampled thieves beneath its feet all year round.
Who would…
“F*ck!” The scrolling comments were full of howls.
“I originally thought it would be like a spark on dry firewood, either you die
or I die. Why did they back off?”
“I already placed all my bets, but you guys aren’t fighting anymore?”
“Fight, hey, the shadow thief should go up and mess with the gold hunter!”
“Gold hunter, shoot and kill the shadow thief!”
After both sides met in the canyon and exchanged a set of skills, both sides
retreated rationally, choosing to avoid fighting each other.
The commentator: “Both sides are playing very cautiously in this game. It
seems that there won’t be any fighting in the early stages, and they’ll focus
on developing for a while. After all, the shadow thief is very dependent on
its ultimate move…”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by the scene on

the screen.
To hell with a rational retreat, to hell with avoiding a fight!

These four people had clearly been engaging in tactical acting!
Pretending to retreat was in fact a tactic to lure the enemy in.
Kim Sung-hyun hadn’t expected Wei Xiao to be so cautious.
Wei Xiao hadn’t expected Kim Sung-hyun to be so timid.
The two sides were halfway through their act when they watched the other
side want to ‘escape’. Both sides then quickly turned back to fight again.
The audience in the scrolling comments: “…………”
Commentator A: “……”
Commentator B saved his colleague, “The shadow thief’s skills are up, but
the elemental shaman’s protection is very comprehensive, and the gold
hunter is dealing considerable damage!”
For better or worse, things were smoothed over for Commentator A, and
they went back to talking about the fight.
Retreating rationally was impossible. If they didn’t fight against each other,
then how could they live up to the feelings that had built up when they
enjoyed the cold sea breeze together?
Wei Xiao focused on Kim Sung-hyun, and Kim Sung-hyun was also locked
in on Wei Xiao.
The shadow thief used its positioning to avoid damage, and the gold hunter
was also careful to deal damage from the furthest possible distance, never
giving him a chance to approach.
Bai Cai wasn’t just there for show. He healed Wei Xiao and looked for
opportunities, “I’ll control Li Heran. You go up and mess with Kim Sung-
hyun.”
Wei Xiao: “Wait.”

This fellow who was normally so playful, became even colder and calmer
than the shadow thief once he was immersed in the game.
Those who played assassins, if they didn’t have the opportunistic nature of
a cheetah, they wouldn’t be able to kill people at all!
Bai Cai stared fixedly at the screen and finally found the right time,
“Steady!”
Wei Xiao had already rushed up.
Bai Cai’s control skill only lasted for 0.5 seconds. This time period was too
short; if he couldn’t kill the gold hunter while Li Heran was unable to
move, then Wei Xiao and Bai Cai would both be dead.
Wei Xiao took advantage of a short-range movement skill to strengthen his

basic attack, then shadow jumped to the gold hunter’s back.
Kim Sung-hyun was very calm. He wasn’t flustered at all; a shadow thief
without its ultimate move wanted to kill him? They must be dreaming.
Wei Xiao’s three available skills were all smashed onto Kim Sung-hyun’s
body. Kim Sung-hyun’s health plummeted, and he fell into a seriously
injured state instantly.
However, he still wasn’t anxious. He countered with a shower of arrows,

shooting at Wei Xiao.
Bai Cai’s control skill was gone. Li Heran’s hand speed was amazing,
creating a stack of totems that landed around Kim Sung-hyun, returning
him back to half health right away.
The shadow thief was still attacking. He made use of perfect positioning,
and in a situation where no mistakes were made, he could continue on until
his mana ran dry.
“Old Bai!”
“Got it!”
Was Li Heran the only one who could heal? Brother Cai could heal, too!
The health that Kim Sung-hyun had taken away from the shadow thief was
once again raised back up.
The players themselves were executing their flashy moves calmly in the
face of danger, but the audience was so nervous that they were breaking out
in goosebumps.
“They still haven’t f*cking died!”
“He-he-he’s not dead?!”
“They’re not level six yet. How come these four people fight like they’re
already in the second half of the game?”
“I didn’t expect that Brother Cai would be so strong. He was actually able
to keep up with this pace.”
“Haven’t you noticed? The Brother Vegetable who supports Quiet and the
Brother Vegetable who supports Close aren’t the same vegetable.”
The CP fans were crying, “So, Brother Vegetable’s true love is Quiet? Laozi
has been shipping the great demon king and his little spoiled lover, but it’s
all fake?!”
This fight looked like it had lasted for a century, but in fact, only a few
seconds had passed.
In the mid-lane, Ning Zhehan held back the ice mage, not letting him go
down to the bottom lane to provide support.
Pro’s jungler stalked Yue Wenle so that he couldn’t help by dealing extra
damage.
The top-laners for both sides were too far away. If they rushed over to
support, they would lose their tower, and the gains wouldn’t be worth the
loss.
This was a battle between Wei Xiao and Bai Cai versus Kim Sung-hyun and
Li Heran.
Whoever won, whoever lost, it would all depend on these four!
FTW.Quiet killed Pro.Succe.
The shadow thief killed the gold hunter!
Quiet took First Blood!
“Amazing!”
“But the shadow thief is done for…”
Another system announcement emerged.
Pro.Ran killed FTW.Quiet.
Wei Xiao, who had only a sliver of health left, was killed by Li Heran.
“This wasn’t a loss. FTW made a profit in this wave.”
“That’s right. Not only did they take First Blood, the shadow thief kill was
given to the other side’s support. It’s a steady profit.”
Gold would be earned with each kill, but out of the entire team, the support
position was the one that least needed the farm. Li Heran had killed Wei
Xiao, but it was a meaningless kill for Pro.
On the other hand, Wei Xiao killed Kim Sung-hyun and obtained the First
Blood bonus, instantly becoming number one in farm value on the map.
With such a smooth start, FTW’s momentum increased!
The fans in South Korea were nervous, “Hasn’t Captain Li’s hand
recovered?”
“In this wave, the elemental shaman didn’t make any mistakes. It was the
gold hunter that was too anxious in the last half a second, and his
positioning was a little too far ahead.”
“God Kim doesn’t seem to be in a very good state…”
“No way, are we going to lose to FTW?”
“F*ck, Laozi’s coins, I’m going to be broke after this wave!”
“What are you guys anxious for? It’s only been a few minutes since the start
of the game. So what if he took First Blood? When the gold hunter is
developed up, the shadow thief can only kneel down and beg for mercy.”
The China competition zone was naturally jubilant.
“Love it, love it. Quiet always surprises me.”
“A thief who managed to survive under Daddy Hyun’s hands, Quiet is

amazing!”
The anti-fans also added to the drama, “If FTW can win the championship
in winter training, I’ll turn into a FTW fan for three minutes.”
The fans, collectively, “Get lost.”
Wei Xiao was able to play out a strong momentum in the bottom jungle
zone, but in the top lane, Lu Feng actually missed a soldier.
Even if he was a firm-hearted person, he would still be shocked after

getting taken by surprise by Wei Xiao’s previous sentence.
Especially…
After he’d basically confirmed Wei Xiao’s feelings.
The most important event of one’s life.

After winning the game, Wei Xiao wanted to do the most important event of
one’s life.
It had something to do with him.
Lu Feng suddenly recalled the words Wei Xiao had spoken in the hotel
corridor after rushing out with his hair still wet––
Captain, I like you.
Lu Feng’s fingers trembled slightly. He tried to stabilize his operations and

make no mistakes.
Could it be that ever since then…
10 days ago, Wei Xiao had…
Lu Feng took a deep breath and didn’t dare to think about it anymore.
Win the game. Win the game as soon as possible.
He wanted to ask him, he wanted to ask him about it clearly!
Ding…
The death knight reached level six, and became a death knight who could
switch forms.
––One form was for attack and was like a roiling black fog, filling the air
with killing intent like a death god who’d walked out of hell.
After Wei Xiao grabbed First Blood, FTW took down another kill!
“The great demon king is steady!”

“FTW should’ve changed lanes a long time ago. With Close’s powerful solo
ability, the team has a strong iron wall in the top lane.”
“That’s for sure. This top lane is just like an iron plate, anyone who hits it
ends up smashing their heads against it.”
The commentators began to praise FTW like crazy, and the audience also
felt that FTW had high chances of winning the game this time.
Under the stage, Chen Feng leaned back in his seat, his expression calm.
He wasn’t nervous, because he’d already made his mental preparations a

long time ago.
Winning wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
Losing wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Seizing the opening advantage with two kills was something that FTW had
fought for fiercely.
Pro’s line-up tended towards the late stage. The ice mage could only be
described as miserable as it faced off against Ning Zhehan’s immortal
warlock in the mid-lane.
Little Ning played assassin mages very fiercely, and he was in a good state
for this game. He was actually able to suppress the other side.
Yue Wenle didn’t understand the concept of cowering at all. Adding on Wei
Xiao’s crazy ganking, they pressured Kim Sung-hyun until he had to stay
beneath his own tower, passively clearing soldiers.
No matter how one looked at it, it was FTW pressuring Pro, and there was
hope that FTW would win this game.
However…
A calmer person would know the real situation when they looked at the
farm panel.
It was hard to say.
FTW, who had such a big advantage in terms of the situation on the surface,
had never been ahead of Pro in terms of farm.
Kim Sung-hyun, who’d been pressured constantly, even had a little bit more
gold than Wei Xiao did.
Other than Pro’s top-laner who’d died twice and fallen behind in farm, the
other lanes were stable and on par with FTW’s.
This was not a good omen. They’d had such a big advantage, yet still hadn’t
been able to snowball the situation. It was really uncertain how the situation
would develop in the later stages.
Pro’s team chat had been quiet the whole time.
Except for normal signaling and communication, there was no nonsense at

all.
Kim Sung-hyun stared at the screen. The operations of his hands were
perfect, not even the tiniest bit of resources was left behind, and not a single
drop of damage went to waste.
He executed very precise micro-operations. IWho knew how long this level
of skill had been tempered for, or how much work had been put into it.
Playing ADC was very tiring. It was a profession that relied on basic
attacks and required clicking on the mouse continuously, constantly shifting
and moving positions.
Even without mentioning other things, ordinary people’s fingers wouldn’t

be able to stand blindly clicking the mouse mechanically, let alone when it
required such precise movements.
Countless marksmen’s hands had been destroyed by this endless overwork.
During the middle stage of the game, during a fight over the ancient
creature, Wei Xiao once again ganked the gold hunter, and the two of them
died together!
The ancient creature was taken down by Lu Feng, and Pro lost another
wave of fighting.
The later the game dragged on, the longer it would take to resurrect.
Kim Sung-hyun stared at the dim screen, “I want to win.”
These four words rang in four people’s headsets, making their hands clench
over the mouse.
The corners of Kim Sung-hyun’s lips tightened, and his voice was somber,
“Big brother, I want to win.”
It was unknown how much time had passed; perhaps it was only one
second, or perhaps it was three or five years.
Li Heran whispered, “Okay.”
Pro, who’d won the world doubles championship and galloped all the way
into the global finals, woke up.
Bai Cai said nervously, “Li Heran’s started to roam!”
Lu Feng: “Shadow thief, be careful.”
Wei Xiao hadn’t even opened his mouth yet when the sound of something
streaking through the air came over. He looked at the golden arrow that shot
straight at his face and was stunned for a moment.
There was a bang.
The golden arrow hit him, and a powerful control skill lasting 3.5 seconds
kept him completely immobile.
Bai Cai: “Not good!”
Wei Xiao immediately said, “Don’t come over!”
Bai Cai stopped moving, knowing that it was already too late. If he went
over, he would just be sending himself to his death.
The elemental shaman gave his teammates an acceleration totem, and a set
of skills from the power thief landed on Wei Xiao.
How could the squishy shadow thief withstand such a concentrated attack.
Park Guizhi killed Wei Xiao, and Pro was finally able to take a kill.
Kim Sung-hyun didn’t show up at all during the entire process, but this kill
was to his credit.
The gold hunter’s ultimate move could cross the entire map. The further
away the enemy was from him, the longer the control time of his ultimate
move.
What did 3.5 seconds represent?
Launching a whole set of skills only took one or two seconds. 3.5 seconds
was enough time to die twice!
Pro began to fight back.
A Li Heran who was following Kim Sung-hyun the whole time wasn’t
terrifying, but as soon as he started to roam, that was where the real horror
lay.
The tacit understanding of a doubles team was really amazing. Li Heran

provided Kim Sung-hyun with vision, and Kim Sung-hyun’s golden arrow
never missed.
Why did everyone say that Kim Sung-hyun could smear thieves all over the
ground?
With Li Heran’s cooperation, he could make any jungler collapse.
He hit the target with every shot, and it was followed by death.
Kim Sung-hyun didn’t take a single kill, but Wei Xiao died three times.
The audience in the live broadcast studio were stunned.
“The gold hunter is really surnamed Kim.”
“This prediction is godly, how does he manage to make every arrow hit.”
“The key isn’t Kim Sung-hyun, it’s Li Heran.”
“Li Heran is too familiar with the gold hunter. The signals he gives have
already estimated the startup time and trajectory.”
“Li Heran…”
“After all, he was once the number one marksman.”
After switching to a support position, he was still someone who understood

marksmen the most.
In just a short ten minutes, the situation on the field reversed. Pro harvested
five kills, and even pushed down a tower on the bottom lane. Their farm
pulled ahead of FTW by 3000 gold, and they started on the road of absolute
suppression.
Pro’s tactics were really fierce.
The mid-lane and top-laner held down Close.
Kim Sung-hyun guarded the bottom lane alone, while Li Heran and Park
Guizhi roamed around and ganked people.
All the kills began with a golden arrow. Once it hit, the power thief would
use a set of skills to take the kill.
Wei Xiao and Ning Zhehan died three times and two times, respectively.
They were completely unable to think of a way to fight back.
They were unable to break this 3.5 second forced control and could only
wait to be slaughtered.
What could they do?
How could they stop this situation that was heading constantly towards
defeat?
Wei Xiao’s hands were sweating.
He wanted to win, he needed to win, there was something he had to do after

he won!
Lu Feng’s voice came from over the headset, “Lead them to the dragon pit.”
Wei Xiao was stunned, “Captain…”
Lu Feng: “Trust me.”
Wei Xiao gritted his teeth, “Okay!”
Lu Feng, who’d been entangled by two people on the top lane, inhaled
lightly and stared at the ice mage’s positioning error.
Opportunity.
The death knight switched to its more dexterous form, using a series of
moves to trigger the passive that avoided control skills. He ignored Pro’s
divine warrior and suddenly appeared right in front of the ice mage’s face.
Pro’s mid-laner yelled, “Not good!”
Park Guizhi, who’d been dragged over to the dragon pit by Wei Xiao,
couldn’t make it over in time.
It was already too late to provide support. The emissary from hell who was
surrounded by an aura of death tore into the ice mage.
The ice mage fell to the ground. The divine warrior’s long spear stabbed
forward, and the death knight moved to avoid it, switching back to heavy
armor. He sliced down with the long sword, and the divine warrior instantly
lost half its health.
System Announcement:
FTW.Close killed Pro.Cui.
Close, who’d been surrounded by two people, took a double kill!

Ch86 - A Kiss
Close ended Pro’s advantage.
The great demon king once again pulled FTW out of the mire!
Wei Xiao took a deep breath, filled with nervous tension, “Opportunity!”
This was indeed a wonderful opportunity, one that the captain had broken
open for them with his longsword that took down two people by himself!
Two people from the Pro side died, and they would be fighting a five
against three battle. As long as they could kill Kim Sung-hyun, FTW might
even be able to end the game in one big wave.
Wanted to win, needed to win, had to win.
The more heated the blood in his body was, the calmer Wei Xiao was. He
glanced at the minimap, and there was already a clear plan of action in his
brain.
Yue Wenle was on the way down. He was a little far away, and they
couldn’t wait for him to arrive.
Little Ning was free and would be in position right away.
Although the captain had killed two people on his own, he wasn’t in a good
state, and it would be difficult for him to participate in the battle.
Wei Xiao, Bai Cai, and Ning Zhehan against Kim Sung-hyun, Li Heran, and
Park Guizhi.
Three against three. Could they do it?

“Go!”
It didn’t matter if they could or not; they had to keep them where they were.
Even if the three FTW players all died, Yue Wenle, who was coming in
behind them would also be able to harvest the kills, let alone the fact that
there was still the captain.
It wasn’t a big deal if the captain was in a bad state. As long as he found the
right opportunity, he would still be able to stab the enemy to death.
Ning Zhehan had already flown into the clouds, taking the lead in smashing
a set of kills at Park Guizhi.
Pro’s thinking was very clear; protect Kim Sung-hyun.
Park Guizhi was a jungler, but half of his gear was tank gear. The armor on
his body made him no less solid than Li Heran’s elemental shaman.
Li Heran supplemented him with a defensive totem, making it so that Ning

Zhehan’s damage spattered against his body like raindrops, dealing an
insignificant amount of damage.
However, Little Ning wasn’t trying to kill Park Guizhi. He was ‘luring the
tiger away from the mountain’!
The immortal warlock who was flying on the clouds distracted the three
people from the Pro team. Bai Cai threw a set of buffs onto the shadow thief
and yelled, “Get him!”
Wei Xiao didn’t say a single word. It was as though his aura had
disappeared along with his shadow thief as he quietly walked around behind
Pro. His crimson blade flashed…
Kim Sung-hyun was extremely sensitive and immediately found the shadow
thief’s trail, “Bro!”
Li Heran’s reaction was even faster. He stabbed a healing totem and an

acceleration totem right next to Kim Sung-hyun’s body.
The shaman had already started to link up its moves, and the eight light arcs
covered the sky and earth. The power thief and elemental shaman were
fleshy, but they were also cut down to half health.
Brother Cai: “Nice!”
This level of damage was good. Kim Sung-hyun would die.
Lu Feng: “Retreat.”
The three people from FTW were stunned.
Wei Xiao realized that something was wrong.
Brother Cai: “F*ck, he didn’t die?!”
Wei Xiao: “Resurrection totem.”
The elemental shaman had sacrificed 80% of his own health. In that 0.01
second gap, he’d created a resurrection totem and inserted it next to Kim
Sung-hyun, who had been about to fall to the ground.
Now…
Kim Sung-hyun ‘came back from the dead’. The golden arrow flew out, but
the target it controlled wasn’t Wei Xiao, but Lu Feng, who was far off in the
distance.
The death knight who only had a sliver of health fell beneath this golden
arrow that had flown across the whole map.
Bursts of cold rushed to the back of Wei Xiao’s brain.
The next second, the gold hunter’s arrows shot at the shadow thief. Wei
Xiao pulled away quickly, but unfortunately, he was too close. As long as
the golden arrow was locked in, it would track and follow even if he pulled
back.
After getting hit by two arrows in a row, the shadow thief’s health bar was
cleared out.
At the last second, Wei Xiao switched in a resurrection armor. He’d just
stood up when the power thief’s ground stab landed beneath his feet.
Wei Xiao’s heart thudded.
He was controlled and pulled back.
The brilliant arrow of light stabbed straight into his heart.
Pro.Succe killed FTW.Quiet.
Wei Xiao stared at the screen in a daze, his hands covered in cold sweat.
The shadow thief fell to the ground, and the gold hunter’s next target was
the immortal warlock.
Ning Zhehan was taken out by two arrows. Yue Wenle rushed over, but
unfortunately, he wasn’t here to harvest anything. Instead, he was
bewitched by a ground stab and ended up sending his head over to the gold
hunter.
System announcements rang out one after another.
Pro.Succe took a pentakill.
FTW was wiped out.
This was the strength of a team in the world’s top four, the tacit
understanding of a doubles championship team. This was Kim Sung-hyun
in his peak state, and the terrible oppression he lorded over his opponents!
Defeat.
FTW’s resurrection crystal exploded, and they lost the game.

Wei Xiao stared woodenly at the screen, his handsome eyes unable to focus.
Brother Cai leaned back in his e-sports chair like he’d been drained of all
his strength.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle were still in a daze, completely stunned by the
last wave and the opposing team’s ace.
How had they done it?
How on earth had they done it!
How had Li Heran managed to launch seven or eight totems in a row?
How had Kim Sung-hyun, who’d developed enough, managed to determine

Lu Feng’s position?
That arrow had been too deadly. If he hadn’t killed Lu Feng, it would be
difficult to say who would have won or lost.
Wei Xiao had to die, and Little Ning wouldn’t be able to live, but even so,
as long as Lu Feng was there, by counting in Yue Wenle and Bai Cai, they
could still fight a 3v3!
But…
Kim Sung-hyun’s ultimate move had locked in on Lu Feng.
FTW lost completely.
The sound of cheers brought the FTW team members back to their senses.
When Wei Xiao stood up, he noticed Lu Feng’s gaze.
He clenched his fists and went out with his head bowed.
Wei Xiao wasn’t clear about how they shook hands, hugged, and stepped
down from the stage.
All he knew was that his entire body felt cold when he sat down.
This was a very familiar feeling.
Two years ago, when he’d learned that his grandmother was seriously ill,
he’d also been shrouded by this feeling.
This was a sense of despair like he was about to lose the most important
thing to him.
It was a feeling of being helpless, powerless, a pain that could crush one to
pieces.
They’d lost.
He’d lost such an important game.
The two million he’d promised.
The feelings he wanted to express.
All of it was killed in that last light arrow.
“Wei Xiao.” Lu Feng called out to him softly.
Wei Xiao’s ears trembled, but he didn’t look up.
Chen Feng’s worried gaze shifted over, “It’s just a winter training
competition. You’ve all done a great job.”
They’d really done great, going beyond everyone’s expectations.
Even the haters didn’t have the face to hate on this year’s FTW.
Two of the five starters had no competition experience, yet they were able
to make it into the top three in the winter training competition.
This was enough for the China competition zone’s Glory circle to show off
for the next year and a half.
The match between FTW and Pro just now was very worthy of praise.
FTW had played very well at the start of the game, and they had even
managed to show signs of a counterattack after being suppressed in the
middle stages.
That last wave was really heartbreaking.
However, there wasn’t anything that could be done.
Experience and maturity needed time to settle in.
FTW had already grown at an amazing rate!
Tang Chen patted Wei Xiao on the shoulder, “Victory or defeat are both
common occurrences. Brat, you can’t be scared of losing?”
Wei Xiao wasn’t scared to lose.
He was never afraid.
Losing wasn’t a big deal, he just had to win again after!
Life was very long. There would be many chances to win, and Wei Xiao
had never been scared of failure.
It was just that this time, he felt very miserable.
The courage that hadn’t been easy for him to find was now all gone.
He didn’t know how to face the captain.
Lu Feng reached out and held his clenched fist.
Wei Xiao’s eyes abruptly opened wide.
Lu Feng’s hands were very beautiful, with long fingers and distinct joints.
They were pale like a piece of exquisite jade and just the right width.
Such a pair of hands, it seemed that they should be cool to the touch.
But his palm was very hot. When it wrapped around the back of Wei Xiao’s
hand, the warmth made him want to shiver.
Wei Xiao’s heart was in a state of turmoil, and his emotions that had been
suppressed to the extreme were about to burst out.
He wanted to flip his hand over and hold hands.
Wanted to tell him how he felt.
Wanted him to know that he liked him.
Such a good captain.
He didn’t want to give him to anyone else.
He wanted him.
He wanted him to be his!
“It’s alright.” Lu Feng’s deep voice rang in his ear, “We still have a long
road ahead of us.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were red. Other than biting his lips, he didn’t know what
else to do.
––Wei Xiao, how come you don’t even know how to cry.
––Wei Xiao, you don’t have a father or a mother, is that why you don’t have
tears, either?
––This child is really strange, the grandmother who raised him left, yet he
didn’t cry.
How could he cry.
Who could he cry to.

Only those who were cared for were qualified to cry.
Pata.
A tear fell on the back of the hand that looked as cool as white jade.
Lu Feng’s heart clenched. He squeezed his hand.
Wei Xiao didn’t want to act in such a shameful manner; he didn’t want to
lose face in front of so many people, on an occasion like this.
But…
But…
Lu Feng pulled him towards him and pressed his head against his shoulder,
“… Be good, Little Xiao, don’t cry.”
These words were spoken in a very, very low voice, so low that even Wei
Xiao himself didn’t hear them.
He simply pressed his forehead against Lu Feng’s shoulder, his black hair
hiding his damp eyes.
“Captain…”
“Hm?”
“If you do this…” Wei Xiao choked, “I’ll be all spoiled and haughty due to
your love.”
He chuckled quietly and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could
hear, “That’s fine.”
Wei Xiao’s heart banged against his chest. He continued, “I want to use
your clothes to wipe my tears.”
“Mm.”
“And my snot.”
“……”
Lu Feng pinched his fingers.
Wei Xiao’s heart fluttered. Countless streams of warmth poured into his
chest, squeezing so hard that he almost couldn’t stand it.
Why was there such a good captain?
Why was there such a Close?
Why was he so good to him.
If there was a god, then Wei Xiao, at this moment, finally felt that he had
been cared for.
The final match was between L&P and Pro.
Kim Sung-hyun thoroughly played out his potential. He took advantage of

having already warmed up and forced L&P step by step towards defeat
right from the start.
Yuan Ze and Gary were his mortal enemies. Normally, they would camp on
him until he went into seclusion. However, today, it wasn’t clear if it was
Kim Sung-hyun who’d found the right state, or if it was Li Heran who’d
suppressed himself for over ten days and finally burst out.
This pair’s cooperation was godly.
They could barely be seen talking, and there was almost no verbal
communication.
However, the support and marksman players on the screen seemed to act
like a single person. They knew exactly what the other party was thinking.
Pro won the championship with overwhelming momentum.
This year’s Pro was amazing.
Everyone could feel the momentum that Kim Sung-hyun released.
He wanted to win. The South Korean Pro team was really hungry for the
National Championships!
Glory belonged to the first place.
Millions of dollars of prize money and endless applause and cheers all
belonged to Pro that night.
Kim Sung-hyun took the FMVP, but his expression was still indifferent.
When the host interviewed him, he said, “I hope that next time, it will be Li
Heran who gets the FMVP.”
Li Heran’s quiet black eyes swept towards him.
FMVP was a title that only the core of the finals championship team could
get.
This sentence by Kim Sung-hyun meant that not only did he want Pro to
win the championship, he also wanted to have Li Heran to become the most
valuable Glory player in the world for 2020!
He wanted a player who’d been in service for six years, who was once the
number one ADC, who’d retired from the position and switched to support,
to once again win the FMVP!
15 days of intensive training came to an end.
It was very necessary for FTW to review their last game, but it wasn’t
urgent.
They’d competed all day for the medal pool competition, and it was already
late. Everyone was also very tired.
Chen Feng only said a few things, then watched them return to their rooms.
Normally, after the end of a game, the least worried one out of the entire
team was Wei Xiao. Today, it was the other way around.
The other players were alright, and they hadn’t suffered much of a blow
from losing the competition. Instead, they were eager to train, wanting to
become stronger.
In particular, Ning Zhehan’s mentality had taken a great leap of growth

during this experience, his tension and panic slowly fading away.
Little Lunatic Wei, who had been the most passionate, was now overly
quiet.
Chen Feng was worried, but when he thought about how Lu Feng was the
best medicine for the little lunatic, he didn’t head over to say anything
more.
He figured that as long as the two of them soloed a few times, Wei Xiaoxiao
would resurrect with full health.
They returned to the guest room.
Wei Xiao started feeling a little awkward.
They’d lost the game, and his kiss was also gone.
He didn’t know when his confession would be able to succeed.
What Wei Xiao lost wasn’t just 2 million. It was clearly 20 billion.
His mood that had been coaxed better by Lu Feng earlier plummeted once
again. He spoke in a stuffy voice, “I’m going to shower.”
As soon as Wei Xiao stood up, he found that his wrist was being held.
Lu Feng looked at him, his pair of black eyes seeming to hold a cluster of
flames under the yellow lights.
Wei Xiao’s heart almost stopped when he faced that gaze.
“If we won, what did you want to do?” Lu Feng asked him in a low voice.
How could Wei Xiao say it out loud? He couldn’t even breathe.
Lu Feng: “In fact, there’s something I’ve always wanted to do.”
His left hand was wrapped around Wei Xiao’s wrist. He tilted his head and
leaned in. A kiss landed on Wei Xiao’s slightly parted lips.
Wei Xiao: “…………………………”
xiin: WERE YOU EXPECTING THAT? WAS IT SATISFYING? Chen

Feng, the little lunatic will resurrect with full health, but not coz of solo~
also, happy thanksgiving! thank you all for following my novels, and stay
safe & healthy during this holiday period!
Ch87 - The kind of like where I
want to be your boyfriend
It was a very light, shallow kiss, like a dragonfly skimming over a lake.
Wei Xiao almost didn’t realize what had happened.
0.5 seconds later…
F*ck!
Wei Xiao’s eyes opened wide. The dragonfly became a bomb and blew him
up, all the way up to the sky.
The captain had kissed him.
The captain had kissed him!
Not on the forehead, not on the cheek, but on his mouth!
Lu Feng dropped his gaze and looked at him steadily, “Wei Xiao.”
Wei Xiao: “!!!”
His ears were feeling soft, what was going on? They were so soft they were
about to turn into marshmallows!
“You…” Lu Feng’s voice was a little hoarse, “Do you get it?”
Did Wei Xiao get it?
He got it.
But he also didn’t seem to get it!

Wei Xiao didn’t dare to look at him. He just quivered as he asked in a
trembling voice, “… Why kiss me?”
If the captain said that it was just foreign etiquette, he would die on the spot
right in front of him!
Lu Feng released his wrist, sliding his slender fingers down to intertwine
with his.
Wei Xiao felt like he’d just been electrocuted. He couldn’t move, couldn’t
think, and could only feel the current zipping from the edge of his fingers
and channeling through his body.
Lu Feng said softly, “Because I like you.”
Wei Xiao’s face was thoroughly red, like he’d just been drinking wine, and
his brain was dizzy and fuzzy, “The like between an older generation and a
younger generation?”
Lu Feng: “No.”
Wei Xiao: “The like between family members?”
Lu Feng came close to him and looked into his eyes, “It’s the kind of like
where I want to be your boyfriend.”
There was a series of bangs as a Disney fireworks show went off in his
head.
If these fireworks could be released, then the resort hotel night sky would
probably become as bright as day.
Boyfriend.
Boyfriend.
It turned out that there was such a word!

The captain was so amazing!
Wei Xiao hugged Lu Feng hard, holding on tightly as though wanting to

stick himself to his skin and become a part of his body, “Me too.”
The corners of Lu Feng’s lips curved, and he hugged him back.
Wei Xiao spoke loudly, “Me too!”
Lu Feng’s heart was beating no slower than his, “Mm.”
Wei Xiao felt that this wasn’t enough, it was far from enough. He had so
many emotions squeezed together in his heart, and the simple ‘me too’
couldn’t describe even a thousandth of how he felt.
“I also like you, it’s not the younger generation’s like for an elder, not a
family’s love, not friendship, it’s…”
When the words reached his mouth, Wei Xiao was a little embarrassed. He
lowered his voice and buried his face in Lu Feng’s neck, speaking softly,
“It’s the type of like where I want to be your boyfriend.”
The arm that Lu Feng had wrapped around his waist tightened hard.
Wei Xiao’s entire body was on fire, he felt like a raging ball of fire, and he
didn’t know how to put it out. He could only say all the words that came to
him.
“Can we do it?”
Lu Feng: “!”
Wei Xiao wrapped his arms around his neck, and his hot breath spread over
his skin, “Although I lost the game, although there’s no two million… can I
still do that thing I wanted to do?”
The blood in Lu Feng’s body that had stopped circulating slowly started to
flow again.
He deliberately pressed down on his waist and said, “What do you want to
do?”
Wei Xiao snorted softly, “Itchy.”
He’d lifted a stone and hit his own feet. The great demon king was full of
regret.
Wei Xiao understood nothing about the world of adults. He was still
immersed in his own small thoughts, “Like this…”
He loosened his arms around Lu Feng’s neck and touched his lips lightly
against Lu Feng’s.
Like how Lu Feng had kissed him, Wei Xiao kissed him back.
It was what he’d always wanted to do, what he’d plucked up the courage to
do. He finally did it.
After kissing, Wei Xiao blushed so hard he almost exploded.
Kissing was so amazing, having two pairs of lips touching was so exciting.
Lu Feng’s body was so hot it was like he was on fire. Just as he recovered
his breath and was about to open his mouth to speak, Wei Xiao leaned in to
give him another kiss.
Wei Xiao gave him another kiss.
Lu Feng didn’t move.
Wei Xiao gave him another and another kiss.
Lu Feng almost pressed him down onto the bed to deal with him on the
spot.
Fortunately, his remaining reason told him that Wei Xiaoxiao was very
young. He had indeed reached adulthood at the age of 19, but he was
obviously still emotionally immature.
Lu Feng closed his eyes and released him, “I’m going to take a shower.”
Wei Xiao’s heart was filled with sweetness and joy, and he was obedient to
his every word, “Okay!”
Lu Feng went to the bathroom, and Wei Xiao was left in the room by
himself. After being silly for a while, he fell backwards onto the bed.
He had no idea how to describe his mood at the moment.
Happy, joyful.
Countless good feelings were all squeezed into his chest, almost making his
fist-sized heart burst apart.
Was fate really fair?
The first 19 years of suffering, was it all for the sake of meeting better
people later?
His grandma had been right. If one kept going, the clouds would always
eventually part, and they would be able to see the brightness of the moon.
Wei Xiao’s nose grew a little sour, and he covered himself up with a pillow.
Be a little more promising!
Don’t cry!
It was such a happy time, what the hell was he crying for!
Wei Xiao was too happy, like a child holding candy for the first time. He
was so happy he didn’t know what to do.
The captain liked him.

He liked the captain, too.
It was the boyfriend type of like.
He was the captain’s boyfriend!
Wei Xiao couldn’t help it. He took out his cell phone, opened up his Weibo,
and typed out a line of words––Close is mine!
He moved his finger to the ‘send’ button and watched as he pressed down.
“Ahhh….” The thread of reason that was now as thin as a hair hooked him
back and made him press cancel.
He couldn’t send it out, he couldn’t tell other people.
This happiness that was as big as the sky, he actually had to hide it and
conceal it!
Wei Xiao was going to explode!
“Captain!” He shouted to Lu Feng from outside.
Lu Feng heard him and turned off the shower, “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “I like you!”
The shower turned back on, and he continued his ‘cold’ shower.
Wei Xiao felt that this wasn’t enough, so he called him again, “Close!”
The shower stopped again.
Wei Xiao’s eyes were curved with his smile, “Close is mine!”
Lu Feng smiled slightly, “Yes.”

Fortunately, the weather was hot on the island. Otherwise, with the way Lu
Feng was taking his cold shower, he would have ended up in the hospital
for two days.
No matter how he said it, it was still missing something. Wei Xiao’s mood,
which couldn’t be vented anywhere, aimed precisely at his good fellow
brother.
He stopped disturbing Lu Feng. He picked up his cell phone and sent a

message to Bai Cai, “.”
A dozen consecutive full stops, filling up the whole page.
The Brother Cai next door was quite concerned.
They’d lost the game, and Wei Xiao’s state had been worrying.
Reasonably speaking, that shouldn’t be the case. He’d been sitting next to
Wei Xiao, and he’d seen the tears that fell onto the back of their captain’s
hand.
How did he end up crying?
Having known him for two or three years, Bai Cai couldn’t imagine that
Wei Xiao would cry.
This brat wasn’t afraid of the heavens or the earth. He was so strong that it
seemed he would carry the sky if it fell, but it turned out that he actually
had such a fragile side.
Brother Cai’s heart felt terribly hot, but he didn’t dare to say anything more.
He’d known that Wei Xiao had attached a lot of importance to this
competition, but they’d lost.
Brother Cai was filled with self blame.
When he returned back to his room, he didn’t feel settled at all. He held
onto his cell phone, thinking about whether to send Wei Xiao a message.
He clicked open WeChat, but he didn’t know what to say…
The Brother Vegetable who was twisted up into knots was then faced with a
series of full stops.
“???”
They’d only lost a competition, and it was just a competition during winter
training. Had this kid already gone crazy?
It wasn’t that big of a deal!
Brother Vegetable went on alert, ready to comfort the vulnerable and fragile
little beast.
How should he comfort him?
Should he search up some chicken soup phrases first?
Brother Vegetable was deeply troubled.
Then, he saw Wei Xiao send over a series of expression packs.
[hahahaha.jpg]
[hehehehe.jpg]
[aoaoaoao.jpg]
[grinning with joy.jpg]
[brother I’m very happy are you happy.jpg]
[cola with ice with lemon, three times the happiness.jpg]
[unparalleled joy.jpg]
[mature people don’t write happiness on their faces, they all say it out
loud!.jpg]
Bai Cai: “???”
He knocked out the words, “Have you finally gone f*cking crazy.” But he
didn’t dare to send them out.
He was worried, frightened, and helpless.
What if Wei Xiao had really gone crazy, what to do then!
Wei Xiao sent over happy expression packs for a long time, but the other
side didn’t reply. He was unhappy, “Are you asleep?”
Brother Cai looked at these words like he’d just seen a savior, “You… are
you okay…”
His words were very careful, extremely tentative. He was afraid of

stimulating him into a mental hospital’s care.
Wei Xiao saw that he’d replied, and his desire to spill the beans burst forth,
“Not really.”
Brother Cai’s heart thumped.
Wei Xiao typed out words as fast as lightning, “I’m too happy ahhhhh, too
happy ahhhhh, I want to tie a rocket on myself and fly up into the sky,
exploding into fireworks…” There would definitely be a line of text with
the fireworks––Close was Quiet’s boyfriend!
The trend of this conversation, damn it, should he call 120?!
Wei Xiao’s typing wasn’t enough to convey his joy. He sent over a voice
message, “I can’t tell you about this matter in detail, but you only need to
know that I’m very happy, I’m very delighted, I’m about to go up to the
f*cking skies!”
The corner of Brother Cai’s lips twitched, and he couldn’t help asking,
“You’re so happy about losing to Pro?”
Who had been the one crying just now!
Were your tears falling because you were happy!
Wei Xiao was surprised, “It’s just a game, winning and losing is very
normal.”
Wei Xiao only noticed that his Brother Cai didn’t seem to be very happy
after the fact.
The very happy Wei Xiao thought it over, then comforted him sincerely and
earnestly, “Wake up, Old Bai, it’s just a winter training camp. How many
days has our FTW been together for? To get the championship just like
this? Wouldn’t that have been too shameful for L&P and Pro? Oh, that Old
Dog Yuan really doesn’t need face, but if they lost to us after playing so
seriously, would they even deserve to be Laozi’s opponents?!”
He sent over a whole slew of messages, and Bai Cai was dazed for a
moment.
He listened to the voice message that was several dozen seconds long, three
times.
He was very certain.
Absolutely certain.
Incomparably certain.
That there was no haze in this guy’s voice. It was brighter than the sun at
noon in midsummer.
What depression, what sense of loss, what crying, it was as though Brother
Cai had been blind!
Bai Cai paused for a moment, then asked him, “You don’t feel bad?”
Wei Xiao: “What’s there to feel bad about? God Kim is amazing, his
prejudgment is at an immortal level, and his ultimate move positioning is
perfect, he deserved to win!
Wei Xiao continued, “Brother Cai, you’re no good. How do you play in
competitions with this psychological quality? The upcoming domestic
competition and global competition will be real games. If you’re down just
from a winter training camp competition, how will you continue in the
future?”
Mother f*cker, I was f*cking worried about you, I’m the real idiot!
“If you’re completely damned fine, then why the hell were you crying.” Bai
Cai couldn’t hold back anymore.
Wei Xiao froze and felt a little embarrassed, “Who cried?! Don’t stay up so
late and do more eye exercises. If you grow blind, you’ll have no choice but
to retire.”
Bai Cai’s tone wasn’t very good, “What the hell is going on with you!”
Wei Xiao was brought back to the original topic, and his heart was once
again smeared with honey, “Secret.”
Brother Vegetable: “??????”
Wei Xiao was delighted and happy, “In short, it’s a good thing as big as the
sky. I can’t tell you now, but I’ll tell you in the future!”
Bai Cai was curious, “What is this all about?”
The last words that Wei Xiao sent over to him were, “Ah, the captain’s
finished showering. Byebye.”
These words were full of excitement. Brother Cai paused for a moment,
then suddenly realized something.
F*ck…
The most important event of one’s life…
Could it be… the two of them, tonight…
Brother Vegetable was dirty, so dirty that he was like a very dirty little train.
After Lu Feng finished his shower, he wrapped his bathrobe tightly around
his body, leaving only his slender neck exposed.
Wei Xiao lost all self-control as soon as he saw him and leaned over to give
him a peck on the mouth.
Wei Xiao was addicted to kissing, kissing him again and again, kissing until
Lu Feng almost couldn’t bear it anymore before saying, “I’m going to wash
up.”
He ran off, and Lu Feng forcibly cooled down the fire in his chest.
Wei Xiao was still young.
He didn’t know anything.
He couldn’t bully him.
Lu Feng closed his eyes briefly, using the incomparable preciousness he felt
towards him to suppress all his desires.
Wei Xiao finished showering much faster than Lu Feng and soon came back
out again.
He was also wearing a hotel bathrobe, but it was loose on his body – the
waist wasn’t cinched tight, and the neckline was open, revealing the dip in
his collarbone that appeared even more attractive when framed by the black
satin.
Lu Feng wanted to get up and help him tidy up his clothing.
Wei Xiao waited until he came close, then kissed him on the mouth. After
kissing him, he even said, “Smells really good.”
Before, he didn’t think that this shower gel smelled good. Now, however, he
just felt that it was too fragrant. It was fresh and sweet, like a forest full of
peach blossoms.
Lu Feng finally couldn’t bear it anymore.
He pulled Wei Xiao over to sit on his legs, wrapped a hand around the back
of his head, and kissed him for real.
It wasn’t a light touching of the lips, nor was it a shallow taste. It was a
deep kiss that went deep into the mouth and swept through the soul.
Wei Xiao was stunned, to the point where he forgot how to breathe.
xiin: (i’ve also forgotten how to breathe)

Ch88 - Do you like it or not?
How could kissing also be like this!
No, this was what a real kiss was like!
Wei Xiao was indeed a living 19 year old virgin, but he wasn’t so innocent
that he didn’t know anything.
Not to mention, he’d glanced through the Gossip Emperor’s little posts a
few times and knew the general outline.
Knowing was one thing, but practical application was something else.
Like kissing.
He was already numb and tingling with the touch of their lips. Now…
His brain exploded, and his blood seemed to have turned into boiling hot
water, setting his entire person on fire.
He couldn’t even describe the feeling; there was unspeakable stimulation,

and he only felt dizzy and dazed and even a little faint.
It wasn’t an illusion, he was really dizzy.
Lu Feng released him, then laughed quietly as he coaxed, “Breathe.”
Wei Xiao: “……” The tips of his ears were all red.
Lu Feng gently stroked his back and said in a gentle voice, “Breathe with
your nose.”
Wei Xiao tried his best to press down a heart that wanted to jump out of his
chest, quivering, “Captain…”
He’d originally been straddled over Lu Feng’s legs, but now his entire body
was soft and pasted against him.
Lu Feng was really scared of him acting like this.
They were clearly separated by two bathrobes, and clearly weren’t touching
each other, but Wei Xiao’s skin that was warm from the shower, his cheeks
that were covered with a shy flush, his quivering voice, and that heated
breath that came in gasps, all burned their way into his heart.
Lu Feng took a deep breath and tried to set him upright, “It’s not early
anymore, we should…”
Wei Xiao buried his face in his neck. His face was too hot, and his voice
was still thready, like a mosquito. However, his words were extremely bold,
“Want more.”
Lu Feng: “!”
Wei Xiao’s mind was full of the kisses from just now. He just felt that it was
too mysterious, too magical, too incredible.
He was kissed until he was dizzy, fainting, dazed, but he still wanted more.
Wanted more, even more, to the point where he didn’t even know exactly
how much he wanted.
In short…
He really wanted it.
Wei Xiao straightened up and looked eagerly at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng stared at his clean face, his heart burning hotter.

Wei Xiao bit his lower lip and said, “The kisses from just now, I want
more.”
Bang––
If there really was a string in Lu Feng’s mind, then it had snapped at this
moment.
He held Wei Xiao by the waist, got up, and put him down on the bed
nearby.
The sky suddenly seemed to whirl around, and Wei Xiao was a little dazed.
Lu Feng placed his palms beside his ear, pressing one knee against the soft
bed and looking down at him from above.
Wei Xiao looked at him without any reservation in his gaze, “Cap…”
Lu Feng bowed his head and kissed his lips.
Wei Xiao’s arms came up around his neck, letting him kiss as wantonly as
he liked.
It was new the first time, but familiar by the second time. By the third time,
Wei Xiaoxiao started to act up, “Captain, do you like it?”
Wei Xiao: “The kiss just now, did you like it?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao asked persistently, “Do you like it or not?”
Lu Feng: “… Like.”
Wei Xiao was satisfied, “I like it too, I like it too much. It turns out that
exchanging kisses with someone feels so good.”
Lu Feng closed his eyes briefly.
Wei Xiao looked at him while lying on his back, “Captain~!”
Lu Feng looked back at him, “Sleep?”
Wei Xiao didn’t blink at all as he looked at him, “I can’t sleep.”
Lu Feng couldn’t sleep either. Not only was he unable to sleep, he was
currently having an internal fight between his rationality and his basic
nature. He wished that he could go to a land of ice and snow to calm down
a bit.
Lu Feng: “It’s one o’clock.”
Wei Xiao didn’t care, “But I can’t sleep…”
His heart was pounding, and his eyes were closed, but it was like he was
watching a live broadcast, as his brain was filled with Lu Feng-Captain-
Close-Boyfriend and kissing. These keywords filled his mental screen like
crazy, scrolling on and on until he didn’t feel sleepy at all.
Lu Feng couldn’t afford to provoke him, so he could only try and change
the topic, “In that last wave in the competition tonight, were you attempting
to brush out nine light arcs?”
It was either Glory or Close.
Lu Feng understood him very well.
Wei Xiao’s attention was indeed successfully diverted, “Yes.”
In that last wave of team fights against Pro, Wei Xiao had had such an idea.
At the time, he, Old Bai, and Ning Zhehan had been up against the three
people from Pro.
In fact, the odds of winning weren’t good. The damage of the immortal
warlock could be resisted in the late stages of the game, and Bai Cai’s light
priest had no way to trap three top level players.
On the other hand, Park Guizhi’s power thief had a strong control skill, Li
Heran’s elemental shaman was amazing, and adding on Kim Sung-hyun’s
gold hunter, there were very few in the entire Glory professional circle who
would dare to go up against them in a 3v3 fight.
For Wei Xiao to choose to go up at that time, that decision had seemed a
little rash.
Lu Feng had killed two people, and he’d created a wonderful opportunity
for the FTW that was at a disadvantage. If Ning Zhehan was Xie He, Bai
Cai was Yan Jiang, and Wei Xiao was Yuan Ze, then those three people
from Pro’s side would’ve been thoroughly dead.
Unfortunately, they weren’t.
The gap between them was visible to the naked eye.
Lu Feng had just wanted to change the topic and didn’t want to make him
unhappy, “Your decision was correct, that wave of team battles should’ve
been fought.”
From the god’s perspective, that last wave of FTW’s could have been called
a sudden death battle.
It was clear that their side had five people, but they’d been cleaned up by
three people on the Pro side.
They’d lost rather awkwardly.
But in fact, after a detailed analysis, viewers could understand that the team
fight should’ve been fought.
Wei Xiao’s judgement hadn’t been wrong.
If they’d chosen to retreat, it would take at most five minutes for the gold
hunter to become the overlord of the entire canyon.
As the elemental shaman reached max level, it could build up its core tank
gear. After its health volume increased dramatically, it would be able to toss
out more totems.
When faced with a gold hunter that was surrounded fully by elemental
totems, forget Wei Xiao, even Close’s shadow thief wouldn’t think of trying
to kill him.
Lu Feng: “You did the right thing.”
Wei Xiao’s mouth shriveled in a pout, “If it was you, the gold hunter would
be dead.”
If it had been Lu Feng, he would’ve been able to brush out nine light arcs.
Under the doubled damage, the elemental shaman wouldn’t have enough
health left to create a resurrection totem. If the gold hunter couldn’t
resurrect, it would’ve ended up as a corpse on the ground a long time ago.
Lu Feng didn’t answer.
Wei Xiao seemed to understand what he meant, “Fine, if you were the
jungler, then we wouldn’t even have had that opportunity.”
That’s right, this one and only opportunity had been created by Lu Feng on
his death knight. If he was playing jungler, then who could kill two people
from Pro in a 1v2 situation?
Tang Chen couldn’t do it.
Wei Xiao couldn’t either.
There was only one Lu Feng. If he took care of the front, then he wouldn’t
be able to take care of the back.
When his thoughts came to this point, Wei Xiao once again felt a little
uncomfortable, “I’m still too weak.”
Lu Feng: “Don’t be anxious.”

The Wei Xiao who’d been resurrected at full health wouldn’t be knocked
down by this kind of thing, “Next time, I’ll definitely make God Kim lay
down on the ground and cry!”
The captain had said that he had a promising future ahead of him.
When they went back to China, he would definitely train hard with the
shadow thief. In the global competitions, he wouldn’t miss any of these
opportunities again!
Lu Feng was relieved to see that he was in good spirits.
Wei Xiao started up again, “Captain, how about you teach me how to use
the shadow thief?”
Lu Feng looked at him, “How?”
Wei Xiao was full of energy, “Hand in hand teaching, your left hand over
my left hand, your right hand over my right hand, taking me to brush out a
sky full of light arcs.”
Wei Xiao cleared his throat, “Fine, if you really do that with me, I might not
be able to brush out a single light arc.”
Lu Feng really wanted to do him!
“Sleep.” The great demon king turned over and didn’t look at him anymore.
Wei Xiao couldn’t sleep. He was too excited today, and his mood had
undergone so many ups and downs, so he didn’t feel any sleepiness at all.
After three seconds of silence, he spoke up again, “Captain…”
Who would’ve dared to think that this word could become a form of torture
for Lu Feng?
Lu Feng didn’t make a sound and pretended to be asleep.

Wei Xiao didn’t believe that he could sleep just like that, “When did you
start to like me?”
Wei Xiao spoke to himself as he liked, “I started to like you from when I
started going for morning runs with you… that’s not quite right, I think that
I started liking you a long time ago…”
Wei Xiao didn’t feel sleepy at all, so he simply began to recall and go over
his ‘emotional diary’.
Since when did he start liking the captain?
More than 10 days ago?
Absolutely not.
He’d liked the captain since a long time ago. How long ago?
Maybe it was when he was alone, hiding in the internet cafe, and saw the
shadow thief who held on all the way until the end in order to win––
The name ‘Close’ was branded in his heart.
He didn’t even know who he was, or what kind of soul he was under this
ID.
He’d already become fascinated by him.
Because that short scarlet blade had not only torn apart the hazy canyon, but
also his hazy and difficult inner world.
He’d given him a light, a direction.
These words made even Wei Xiao, who was always thick-skinned, feel full
of embarrassment after he’d spoken them out loud.
Lu Feng, on the other hand, felt like he’d been stabbed by sweetness
straight into his heart. It was so sweet that he even felt like there was sugar
in his mouth.
Wei Xiao then summed it up, “Before, I was confused and wasted so much
time. If it hadn’t been for Captain Li’s injury that scared me awake, I don’t
know how long I would’ve remained so silly for.”
The taste of sugar in Lu Feng’s chest seemed to recede slightly, “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “You don’t know this, but I had a dream at the time, and dreamed
that your arm was broken, and you couldn’t hold a mouse. I woke up
covered in cold sweat, I was scared to death!”
Because he was facing his back, Wei Xiao couldn’t see Lu Feng’s
expression. He still had that lingering fear in his heart as he said, “Don’t
worry, Grandma said that dreams are contrary, so you’ll be healthy and fit,
and you’ll be able to do it until you’re 80 years old!”
Lu Feng’s back that was facing him shifted, and he turned to look at him.
The two people looked at each other, and Wei Xiao’s heart quivered
inexplicably.
Lu Feng looked at him for a while, then smiled and said, “Do it until I’m
80?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
That little inexplicable bit of worry that Wei Xiao had flew away
immediately. His face heated up, “Captain, I suspect that you’re…”
Lu Feng: “No need to suspect, I’m really acting like a rogue.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”

After saying a lot of provoking things, there would always be a time when it
came back to bite him.
It was rare that Wei Xiaoxiao didn’t pick up the thread of the conversation.
Lu Feng lay down flat on his back and looked up at the ceiling, “I don’t
know when I started to like you.”
Wei Xiao’s ears perked up, “Certainly not for as long as I have!”
Lu Feng glanced at him out of the corner of his eyes and said meaningfully,
“But I realized it before you.”
Wei Xiao blinked, then became energetic again, “Could it be during the
time when I first joined the team?”
Wei Xiao was surprised, “It can’t be the pentakill is yours, and you belong
to me, right?”
Lu Feng looked at him, “You’re really glib with those words.”
Wei Xiao’s radar sent him a warning, and his desire for survival burst forth,
“I’ve only ever said it to you!”
Lu Feng exposed him, “You didn’t know that I was LU at the time.”
Wonderful, a perfect screw up!
Lu Feng turned over and didn’t look at him anymore.
Wei Xiao hastened to explain, “You see, I didn’t know who you were at the
time, but I already felt good about you.”
Lu Feng: “Oh.”
Wei Xiao continued to coax him, “I even regarded you as a girlfriend!”

Wei Xiao didn’t hesitate to continue blackening himself to coax the captain,
“I even regarded you as a girlfriend twice! To be honest, I’ve only had two
‘gossip’ girlfriends in my life, and they were both you.”
Lu Feng didn’t dare to listen any further, “Sleep.”
Wei Xiao was delighted as he finished his words, “You’re my only

boyfriend, too.”
Wei Xiao’s mouth couldn’t be stopped, “What about you?”
Lu Feng paused.
Just when Wei Xiao thought that he wouldn’t say it, Lu Feng spoke, “… Me
too.”
Although Wei Xiao had expected this, when Lu Feng really said it, he was
still so happy that there were flowers blooming in his heart.
He cleared his throat, “You’re the first person I’ve ever liked.”
Lu Feng: “Me too.”
“I’ll only like you in the future.”
“Mm.”
“Captain, why don’t you say ‘me too’?”
“For things in the future, actions speak louder than words.”
xiin – “For things in the future, actions speak louder than words.” omg Lu
Feng, you don’t speak much, but when you do… *swoon*
Ch89 - 520
xiin: footnote for the title – 520 sounds like ‘i love you’ in Chinese…
The future was uncertain. Rather than saying anything, it was better to
really and truly spend time and heart on this ‘like’.
Wei Xiao was soon going to explode from his captain’s sweetness, “Cough,
I lose.”
He’d actually lost out to his boyfriend when it came to words of love.
Um……
Little Lunatic Wei’s desire to win flared up, and he immediately said, “In
that case, I’m different!”
Lu Feng didn’t look at him, but he could imagine Wei Xiao’s current
appearance, “How?”
Wei Xiao spoke proudly, “For things in the future, I’ll use actions and
words!”
Lu Feng laughed quietly, “Alright. If you still don’t sleep, the sky’s going to
turn bright.”
In fact, Wei Xiao was a little tired, and his eyelids were fighting against
him, but he didn’t want to sleep. He couldn’t bear to go to sleep.
He asked again, “Captain, what do you like about me?”
Only Wei Xiao could ask these words without embarrassment and even
sound so delighted about it.
Lu Feng replied, “I don’t know.”
Wei Xiao was no longer happy. He asked further, “You don’t know?”
“Mm.” Lu Feng looked at the curtains hanging over the window on the
other side of the room, “There’s too much.”
A lot, there was really too much.
Two years ago, and two years later, Wei Xiao’s every move and action was
so impactful, taking over his entire field of vision.
Wei Xiao’s appearance had allowed Lu Feng to see infinite energy and
infinite hope.
Wei Xiao said that, two years ago, the shadow thief in the canyon had given
him a light in the darkness.
How could he not have also seen a light from Wei Xiao’s body?
Lu Feng had fallen for Wei Xiao at first sight, but it was also a love that had
developed over time.
Wei Xiao was worthy of being a Close translation machine and actually
understood what he meant. He was happy again, “Is it that you like too
many things about me, so you don’t know?”
Wei Xiao became a little modest, “There aren’t that many things worth
liking about me.”
Lu Feng: “There are.”
It was just a simple sentence, but it was enough to make the shameless
Little Lunatic Wei’s face turn red.
It was over, it was over. He’d really been well and truly won over by his
captain. In the future, he would definitely be henpecked, the type that could
never recover.
Wei Xiao fell quiet for a while, but he couldn’t hold back the thumping of
his little heart, “Since you started to like me so early on, why did you never
tell me?”
If he’d said it earlier, they’d have kissed hundreds and thousands of times
by now!
With this thought, Wei Xiao felt like he’d missed out on a billion dollars.
Lu Feng was silent.
The less he spoke, the more Wei Xiao wanted to know. He begged, “This is
the last question, we’ll sleep after you’ve answered.”
Wei Xiao coaxed him, “Really, I’m a puppy if I still don’t sleep after that!”
He even made a little ‘woof’ sound in advance.
Lu Feng sighed lightly and turned to look at him, “You’re still young.”
Lu Feng leaned against the white pillow, his gaze even warmer than the soft
lighting from the floor lamp, “I didn’t say it, because I wanted to give you
more.”
In fact, Wei Xiao didn’t really understand, but he could feel the sense of
being held in the palm of Lu Feng’s hand, being cared for like a treasure.
In a flash, the tip of his nose grew a little sour.
Lu Feng continued, “Friendship, affection, love, I want to give all of that to

you.”
If he’d said it earlier, this passionate love would overwhelm everything else.
Wei Xiao’s heart seemed to have been struck hard by something, but the
tiny pain swiftly spread out into a tingly numbness that covered his whole
body.
It was like seeing the most beautiful scene in the world while floating in the
clouds, so even if he fell to pieces later, there would be no regret.
He couldn’t help it.
Wei Xiao got up from bed and drilled into Lu Feng’s quilt.
Wei Xiao’s pair of sparkling eyes were filled with Lu Feng––
The indifferent Lu Feng, the alienated Lu Feng, the seemingly unfeeling Lu

Feng was actually an incomparably soft and gentle Lu Feng.
Wei Xiao wanted to kiss him, wanted to kiss him hard. He wanted to let him
feel the sweetness that was welling up from the bottom of his heart and
squeezing its way onto his tongue.
Without waiting for him to move, Lu Feng had tilted his head and kissed
him.
Wei Xiao responded, his movements clumsy but enthusiastic.
When the two of them separated, Lu Feng’s voice was a little hoarse as he
spoke in his ear, “Little Xiao.”
Wei Xiao’s entire body felt like it’d been shocked by electricity. He
trembled, “Mm…”
Lu Feng sighed lightly, “It’s only the first day.”
The first day of their confession, the first day they’d mutually shared their
feelings, the first day they’d become boyfriends.
It wasn’t even a full day yet.

Wei Xiao didn’t understand.
Until he felt a certain hard something.
Wei Xiao: “!!!”
Lu Feng’s pair of black eyes seemed to be like a burning, raging wasteland,

“Can we sleep now?”
One sentence, four words. He said it in a tone filled with patience and
restraint.
If Wei Xiao still didn’t understand, then he really wouldn’t be human.
Although he didn’t act like a human all year round, he…
Ahhhh, it was too soon; good things needed preparation time.
Such an important thing, there had to be a sense of ceremony.
Wei Xiao’s face was thoroughly red. He didn’t dare to look at Lu Feng,
“Sleeping.”
Lu Feng released him. Wei Xiao ran off back to his own bed and wrapped
himself up like a silkworm cocoon.
“Goodnight…” He wanted to finish with ‘captain’, but his mouth couldn’t

help but act up again, “Boyfriend.” After that, he quickly closed his eyes.
Wei Xiao spoke from beneath his quilt, “I also want a goodnight…”
Lu Feng: “Sleep.”
Wei Xiao exposed his eyes, wide and aggrieved.
Lu Feng pulled aside the quilt and got out of bed. Wei Xiao was frightened
and hid himself in the quilt again until he heard the sound of footsteps. He
poked his head out and found that the captain had gone to the bathroom.
He hid in the quilt again, his heart pounding, his face burning, his mouth
muttering, “Calm down, calm down, Wei Xiao, please calm down. It’s just
the first day, you can’t think about such beastly things!”
The sound of water running came from the bathroom. Wei Xiao quietly
exposed his face in order to breathe.
He’d originally been on his side facing Lu Feng, but there was nobody in
the bed at this time, so he turned around and faced the dim light coming
from the bathroom.
The privacy setup in the standard hotel rooms were done very well. From
where he was, nothing could be seen but the flow of small, raindrop-like
drops of water.
Wei Xiao watched, listened, and thought…
Finally, weariness swept over him, and his eyes closed.
When Lu Feng came out, he was met with the sight of a sleeping Wei
Xiaoxiao.
Wei Xiao really was young.
His attitude towards feelings and emotion was especially immature.
So young that he could express his feelings without reservation, like a child,
and he was also like a child in that he didn’t understand the desires of
adults.
Lu Feng liked him.
Liked all of him.
From small to large, Lu Feng cherished everything around him.

His bewildered and helpless childhood, his fallen and powerless youth, all
the way until he had the ability to stand independently.
He cherished all the good things he encountered, even if it was fleeting.
Lu Feng swept aside the black hair over Wei Xiao’s forehead and pressed a
kiss onto his clean forehead.
No desire, only love.
As it turned out, the great demon king couldn’t sleep that night.
It was no use being as steady as a rock. Not only that, there was still more
to come.
Wei Xiao had fallen asleep, and he slept deeply, his dreams filled with
colorful joy.
And then…
He ended up sleepwalking.
It made sense when he thought about it. They’d played a full day of
competition games requiring high concentration levels, and then they’d
stayed up so late. He’d experienced so many emotional ups and downs, and
it would’ve been more strange if he didn’t sleepwalk.
Lu Feng had just fallen asleep when he felt that his quilt had been lifted up.
His arm sank a little, and something wrapped around his waist and held on
tight.
He opened his eyes and wasn’t surprised to see Wei Xiao with his head
pillowed on his arm and his entire person pasted up against him.
Wei Xiao wasn’t on guard at all and even rubbed against his arm with his
pale cheek.
Lu Feng breathed in, then held Wei Xiao closer.
Sleep, then.
It was enough as long as he could have good dreams.
When Wei Xiao woke up, he discovered that he’d changed beds.
At this moment, at this time, Brother Xiao was very flustered!
Oh shit…
Laozi hadn’t done anything beast-like, had he!
Being impatient and unable to hold back on the first day of love, Wei Xiao
wasn’t that kind of beast.
Oh, if he’d really done something, he would go and chop Brother Vegetable
up by hand. It was all Brother Vegetable’s fault for calling him a beast, he’d
called him a beast so much that he’d really turned into one!
Brother Vegetable, who was in the room next door, “Achoo!”
Such a big sneeze. Who was cursing daddy so early in the morning.
Wei Xiao checked himself over and found that he was still dressed properly,
and there were no strange marks on the bed.
It should be that nothing happened.
Wei Xiao was relieved––if he’d become lovelorn on the first day of their
relationship, he would die.
When he thought about falling in love, Wei Xiao couldn’t hold down the
corners of his lips again.
Ahhhhh.
His first love, his Close, his boyfriend!

Wei Xiao rolled around a few times on Lu Feng’s bed, his heart filled with
so much joy that it was creating soap bubbles.
It was the so-called ‘one day apart feels like three autumns’. Wei Xiao
didn’t see his boyfriend when he woke up, and he already missed him very
much.
It was already past 11 o’clock. He’d missed the morning run, but he figured
that the captain also hadn’t gone on his morning run.
The winter training camp was over, and they would be making their way
home soon. There must be a lot of things to attend to.
FTW’s flight tickets were scheduled for around 3PM in the afternoon, so
there was no hurry. He dawdled as he got out of bed; there was enough time
to eat lunch before they headed to the airport.
Wei Xiao wrapped himself up in the quilt, lost in his own happiness for a
while, then took out his cell phone to send a message to Lu Feng.
What should he say?
The first WeChat message after formally establishing a relationship. It had

to be grand.
Wei Xiao edited the message for a long time, then finally sent it out in
satisfaction.
Lu Feng was enduring a migraine in order to deal with work when his
phone beeped.
Xiang Liu peeked at it.
Lu Feng picked up his cell phone and saw the message that Wei Xiaoxiao
had sent over––
Captain! I like you I like you I like you (517 more repeats are omitted here,
in case the author gets killed in the comments).
The dutiful and conscientious Brother Liu who was deeply immersed in
supporting FTW was shocked.
Holy shit!
Was the sun coming out from the West?
The great demon king could smile like this?
Should he take a photo?!
With this photo in place, FTW’s official blog traffic would be guaranteed!
Wei Xiao then sent another message, “It’s not copy pasted, hey, every ‘I like
you’ was typed out by hand.”
He’d typed out 520, he was really worthy of being himself!
Lu Feng looked at it and frowned, then called him back directly.
Wei Xiao picked up in one second, “Captain~!”
Lu Feng’s heart softened again, “You’re awake?”
Wei Xiao: “I just opened my eyes and missed you.”
He got up and avoided Xiang Liu, speaking in a low voice, “Stop fooling
around.”
Wei Xiao was really muddled, “Ah?” He was still in the room and hadn’t
gone out – how could he fool around?
Lu Feng said, “Using your cell phone to type so many words, aren’t your
fingers tired?”
Wei Xiao got it, and the corner of his lips curved up again.
Lu Feng: “Cherish your fingers, don’t recklessly burden them.”
Thinking about Wei Xiao with his head bowed as he tapped out so many
words, he not only felt heartache for his fingers, but also for his spine.
Professional players needed to take care of their bodies even more so than
ordinary people if they wanted to play for a long time.
Wei Xiao’s heart felt incredibly sweet, and his voice was soft, “In that case,
I won’t type next time.”
Lu Feng’s heart missed the first half a beat.
Wei Xiao: “I’ll say it to you.”
Wei Xiao: “Captain, I like you.”
Lu Feng lowered his voice, “There’s someone over here. I’ll see you soon.”
Wei Xiao didn’t bother him any further, “I want a morning kiss later.”
Lu Feng: “!”
He wasn’t in the mood to deal with business. He just wanted to go back to

the room.
Fortunately, someone knocked on the door on Wei Xiao’s side, “It seems
that Brother Cai’s here. I’m hanging up first.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao went on to remind him, “You agreed, okay.”
Wei Xiao was happy, “See you soon.”
Lu Feng’s heart was filled with ‘see you soon’.
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Liu looked at his boss’s appearance, and
his heart was drumming in his chest: This conversation, this tone, this
expression… it was really as if he had been coaxing a girlfriend!
However, as early as when Brother Liu saw who the caller was, he’d
already grown very calm.
It was Wei Xiaoxiao.
This was a normal occurrence; after seeing it often, it was no longer

strange.
Wei Xiao opened the door for Brother Cai.
Brother Cai glanced at him and was surprised, “What’s the matter with
you?”
Wei Xiao: “Ah?”
Brother Cai choked. He didn’t dare to say that he looked like spring had
come.
He was suddenly a little afraid of stepping into the room. Although his
brain supplied him with little trains containing Wei Xiao and the Captain
every day, these two…
Didn’t really have anything going on between them, right?!
Wei Xiao’s heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat’s paw. He badly
wished that he could share his joy with his good brother, but he was also
filled with scruples and didn’t dare to say more.
The environment in the e-sports circles was still very complicated.

Not to mention homosexuality, even heterosexual relationships could be
hung up on the walls and hammered by the fans.
Was the regular season a grand slam? Had they won all the playoffs? Had
they taken home the world cup?
Without any achievements, to hell with being in a relationship.
Wei Xiao could only bear with it. For the captain, for FTW, for the Glory
circle, his life was too difficult!
Brother Cai poked his head in.
Wei Xiao said, “The captain went off to work a long time ago.”
Bai Cai let out a breath of relief, “Cough, wanna eat?”
Wei Xiao agreed, “Let’s go.”
Why was his first meal after entering a relationship going to be shared with
a vegetable? Where was his boyfriend!
Fortunately, Brother Vegetable couldn’t read minds. If he knew what this

beast was thinking, he would surely vomit blood.
Laozi doesn’t want to eat with you, either!
You asshole who puts love over bros!
Who could’ve known that just as they got to the elevator, they would run
into Lu Feng.
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up.
Brother Cai: “Good morning, captain.”
Lu Feng’s gaze moved away from Wei Xiao’s body and he answered,
“Morning.”
The elevator arrived.
Brother Cai stepped in first, “Old Wei?” Why hadn’t he come in.
Wei Xiao tugged on Lu Feng’s arm, not letting him step into the elevator.
“You go down first. The captain and I will wait a bit.”
Brother Cai looked at the empty elevator, his head covered in question
marks, “???”
Wei Xiao said randomly, “I didn’t run in the morning. We’ll take the stairs.”
Brother Cai was even more confused. At this time, it was unknown which
floor pressed the button for the elevator, causing the elevator doors to close
and mercilessly take Brother Cai away.
There was nobody else around. Wei Xiao turned around and pecked Lu
Feng on the face.
Lu Feng caught him by the wrist and pulled him behind the stairway door.
Wei Xiao’s back was pasted against the wall, gasping for breath from his
kisses, “Someone might come over.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao pulled him closer by the collar, “… How exciting.”
Lu Feng blocked his fearless mouth that wasn’t even afraid of heaven.
xiin: *tossing out more sugar*

Ch90 - Eloped~
Wei Xiao’s learning ability wasn’t exaggerated.
He learned everything quickly, including this.
At first, he only knew to peck like a chicken nibbling at rice, but now, not
only could he breathe through his nose, he even knew to tilt his head back
and offer himself up.
The two of them kissed wantonly in the narrow corner.
They’d clearly only been separated for a short time, and they’d clearly been
sleeping in each other’s arms last night, and they were clearly so close to
each other now.
But there was always the feeling that it wasn’t enough.
Desire invaded their bodies, enveloping their souls.
Lu Feng let him go first, “You must be hungry.”
Wei Xiao: “Nope.”
He didn’t want to go, he wanted to stay here a little longer.
Gurgle…
His stomach betrayed him.
Lu Feng smiled and looked at him.
Wei Xiao: “……” This stomach of his had failed him!

The hand Lu Feng had wrapped around his wrist slid down, following his
palm and twining their fingers together. “Enough, go eat first. I’m also
hungry.”
This last sentence was worth a thousand words. Wei Xiao immediately
agreed, “Okay!”
The captain was hungry, so they should quickly go and eat. He just didn’t
know if there was celery in the restaurant or not.
The two of them were just about to step out when they heard a ding from
outside.
It was the crisp crackle of a lighter.
Someone was there!
The Wei Xiao who’d been extremely bold as they had snuck around started
feeling guilty!
It had been exciting just now, but it wouldn’t be good if they ran into
someone.
The matter of coming out of the closet was something that should be
considered from a long term perspective.
Lu Feng pulled him over, and the two of them hid behind the door.
This was a smoking area. The footsteps came to a stop, and a man’s familiar
soft voice rang out, “Want one?”
“No.”
“Captain Li’s not here.”
“I didn’t quit smoking because of him.”
“Oh~” This elongated tone was undoubtedly Yuan Ze, and the other voice
in the conversation was also very recognizable. The one with the slightly
strange Chinese pronunciation was Kim Sung-hyun.
It turned out to be the two of them.
Wei Xiao, who’d originally been hiding, suddenly had the impulse to rush
out.
Regardless of how the Team of Gods had come to an end, both of these
people were extremely important to Close.
Wei Xiao wanted to tell them––
Close had a boyfriend now!
Do you guys want to know who it is!
They were both as far as in the sky, and as near as right in front of you!
Yes, that’s right, it’s me!
Oh, that wasn’t a very good idea.
Wei Xiao soon changed his mind again.
He’d lost to Yuan Ze not long ago, and lost to Kim Sung-hyun recently.
Saying such a thing now didn’t seem to carry much impact.
He’d wait.
When they met again in the global competitions, he’d say it once for every
time they won.
He’d make sure that they remembered it deeply!
The more Wei Xiao thought about it, the more energetic he grew. He pulled
his captain even closer, so that the two of them were stuck close together,
hiding behind the door.
No matter how high Captain Lu’s IQ was, he couldn’t see through the
thoughts of the person in his arms.
The outside two chatted casually.
The relationship between Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun was really good.
During their time at FTW, Kim Sung-hyun had been ‘alone and helpless’
and had really respected Yuan Ze as an elder, even if this elder was very
unreliable.
Kim Sung-hyun had been even more good looking when he was 17 to 18
than he was now.
At the time, his baby fat hadn’t yet retreated. He had a sharp little melon
face and a tear-shaped mole, looking just like a leading actor in a Korean
drama, the type that was campus-themed.
With his looks, his achievements, and his strength, Kim Sung-hyun
naturally attracted countless fans.
Fame was a double edged sword. If there were those who loved him, then
there were naturally those who were jealous. In his early years, Kim Sung-
hyun suffered a lot of hidden losses while living in a foreign country.
Fortunately, Yuan Ze had protected him, guided him, taught him Mandarin,
and helped him integrate into FTW.
With this kind of relationship in place, even if they’d been separated for
many years, they still regarded each other as close brothers.
Yuan Ze was a longtime smoker. If he was ever separated from his

cigarettes, he could easily enact dying on the spot.
With a cigarette hanging from the edge of his lips, he asked Kim Sung-
hyun, “Has Captain Li recovered?”
This question was quite pointed.

Captain Li’s hand injury had clearly recovered. He’d played well in
yesterday’s game, and definitely wouldn’t have gone up to play while he
was still injured. Yuan Ze had seen it clearly, yet he was still asking; his
words obviously carried some deeper meaning.
Kim Sung-hyun understood what he meant and answered vaguely, “Mm.”
Yuan Ze laughed briefly, “You’re really…”
Kim Sung-hyun looked at him, “If you were him, I also wouldn’t set you
aside and not worry about you.”
Yuan Ze stilled briefly, then laughed lowly, “… Shit.”
Kim Sung-hyun seemed to have been choked by the smell of smoke. He

said disdainfully, “Smoke a little less.”
Yuan Ze sighed, “This tone of voice is really like Close.”
When he heard his captain’s name, Wei Xiao looked up at Lu Feng and
blinked.
Lu Feng’s index finger came up to make a gesture on his lips.
Wei Xiao’s eyes flashed slightly, and he kissed his finger––the one that was
placed over his lips.
If it wasn’t for the fact that there was someone outside, Lu Feng…
Well, he could only kiss him.
Kim Sung-hyun: “Besides Close, who else would care about whether your
lungs are black or red.”
Yuan Ze insisted stubbornly, “He just hates the smell of smoke.”
Kim Sung-hyun wasn’t polite at all, “He also hates you.”

Yuan Ze tsked.
Kim Sung-hyun was obviously in a better mood than he’d been a few days
ago. Perhaps it was because they’d won the winter training camp, or
perhaps because of Li Heran’s seriousness, or perhaps it was even because
he could see that his old friends were doing better and better.
Yuan Ze listened to him for once and put out the cigarette, “FTW is
exceptional this year.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Still tender.”
“Tender?” Yuan Ze laughed, “Even before the domestic competition ends,

you won’t be able to stop that boy anymore.”
He didn’t say his name and just used a pronoun, but everyone knew who he
was referring to.
Wei Xiao pointed to himself, his eyes speaking for him: Old Dog Yuan was
talking about him!
He would be killed by Wei Xiao’s cuteness sooner or later.
Kim Sung-hyun paused briefly, then analyzed calmly and objectively, “The
current FTW is still too dependent on Close.”
Yuan Ze: “That’s true.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Quiet’s really excellent, but if he remains under Close’s

protection, he won’t be able to grow up.”
Yuan Ze paused, then actually spoke up for Wei Xiao, “Not necessarily.
Close has changed a lot.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “We all know what happens to Close once the team is
getting along well and they encounter a strong opponent.”
Yuan Ze didn’t say anything.
Kim Sung-hyun: “To tell you the truth, I feel that in the whole of Glory, the
only person who can let Close act recklessly is Captain Yan.”
Yuan Ze’s voice was light, his tone ironic, “Is there anyone God Yan can’t
cooperate with?”
Kim Sung-hyun: “That’s true.”
Yan Jiang––FTW’s former team captain, the perfect support player, a man
who stood in the most vulnerable position while becoming the absolute
core.
In fact, the old FTW could win the doubles championship. They had the
potential to absolutely crush their opponents and win with pure strength
alone.
It was very simple. They would win as long as Yan Jiang signed up for the
competition.
As for who the other person was, it didn’t even matter.
Kim Sung-hyun, Xie He, Yuan Ze, or even Close, who was the most
difficult to cooperate with. All of them could do it.
Yuan Ze couldn’t cooperate with Close, and Kim Sung-hyun and Xie He
also had no way to play doubles with Close.
Only Yan Jiang could.
Unfortunately…
Nobody would mention this matter.
Because Yan Jiang never took part in the singles or doubles competitions.
Not just the players, even the top management of the club wouldn’t bring
this up.
If the management pressured him, Yan Jiang would participate.
But what was the use of that?
He could play in a way where he made no mistakes, play as hard as he

could and assist wholeheartedly, but they wouldn’t win.
No faults could be picked up, and there was no way to say that he wasn’t
trying; his behavior would be perfect.
It was just that they’d lose.
This was too fierce. It was so fierce that nobody could do anything about it.
So, FTW was utterly helpless and gave up the doubles.
Yuan Ze had dared to say ‘if someone can cooperate with Close, I’ll go and
eat shit live’ because there was an underlying reason for it.
In the whole Glory circle worldwide, there was just one Yan Jiang.
Yan Jiang didn’t play the doubles competition.
So, if you wanted him to eat shit, there was no way it would happen.
It could be seen that Yuan Ze really favored Wei Xiao. The implicit and
explicit content of his words were filled with recognition, “Even if he’s not
as good as Yan Jiang, Quiet is already the next best candidate.”
Kim Sung-hyun nodded, “Yes.”
Yuan Ze: “In short, this year’s FTW won’t be bad.”
Kim Sung-hyun looked at him, “What about L&P?”
Yuan Ze laughed, “What are you thinking? Would I lose to Yan Jiang
again?”
Last year’s championship winner was Y1, which was Yan Jiang’s team.
L&P had been the runners-up.
Kim Sung-hyun: “It’s time to switch it up. You can lose to Pro now.”
Yuan Ze: “Dream on.”
Kim Sung-hyun was too lazy to continue sparring with him verbally. He
asked, “Will you take part in the singles competition this year?”
Yuan Ze: “Yes.”
Kim Sung-hyun smiled, “Great. Let’s see who is number one in Glory.”
For several years in a row, Close had been the only one from the Team of
Gods to sign up for the singles. This year, Kim Sung-hyun and Yuan Ze
would both join too.
The real number one in the world.
Who would it be?
This was something that they couldn’t establish while they were at FTW.
Now, there was an opportunity to do so.
Lu Feng and Wei Xiao didn’t come out until the two of them had walked
off.
Wei Xiao hadn’t meant to eavesdrop, but he’d heard it all clearly.
In particular, Kim Sung-hyun’s words had stabbed him in the heart––To tell
you the truth, I feel that in the whole of Glory, the only person who can let
Close act recklessly is Captain Yan.
Wei Xiao couldn’t stand it. He asked directly, “Captain, is Yan Jiang so
strong?”
He was definitely strong, but exactly how strong was he to let Close act
recklessly and not have to worry about anybody?
That’s right, Wei Xiao was jealous. This sentence was enough to pickle him
in a whole tub of vinegar!
Lu Feng rubbed his hair, “It’s not that exaggerated.”
Wei Xiao: “Listening to Captain Yuan and God Kim’s meaning, you’ve
always been holding back when you fight, haven’t you?”
Wei Xiao’s heart leapt up, “If you let go, we won’t be able to keep up, is
that right?!”
Lu Feng shook his head, “5v5 is a team competition. Good cooperation is

more important than individual excellence.”
This was a truth that Wei Xiao understood, but he still didn’t feel
comfortable in his heart, “I’m still too weak.”
Lu Feng was distressed. He held his hand and said, “Yan Jiang isn’t strong.”
Wei Xiao didn’t believe him, “You’re just trying to coax me.”
Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun had already said all those things. How could
he not be strong!
What’s more, it wasn’t as though Wei Xiao hadn’t watched the world cup.
Y1 was so strong that it made people’s scalps feel numb.
Lu Feng said in a soft voice, “Yan Jiang just understands people very well.”
Lu Feng said, “He understands the players, so he can cooperate with them.”
Wei Xiao: “He understands you very well.”
Lu Feng: “He understands everyone he wants to understand well.”

Lu Feng was about to continue comforting him, but Wei Xiao suddenly
spoke up, “Then, I won’t lose to him!”
Lu Feng could see the unabashed warmth and enthusiasm in his eyes.
Wei Xiao: “I’ll definitely become the person who knows you best.”
“Yan Jiang might understand a lot of people, but I just want to understand
you!”
Anyone who heard this kind of thing would feel like their heart was being
stuffed full of soft marshmallows, sweet and fluffy.
“Wei Xiao…” Lu Feng called out to him in a low voice.
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
Lu Feng kissed him. Other than this, he really didn’t know how else to
convey the deep love he felt for him.
In the restaurant, the lonely Brother Cai ate six Alaskan king crab legs, half
of an Australian lobster, and half a plate of sea urchin sashimi…
He sent out a Weibo post while he was at it, “Although I’m lonely, I’m
full.”
Replies burst out instantly, “Brother Cai, where’s God Lu!”
“Darling vegetable, where’s your captain?”
“God Bai, where’s your jungler king?”
Brother Cai also wanted to know where his captain and jungler king had
gone.
They’d clearly been going downstairs together and had waited for the
elevator together. How did it eventually turn into him walking on alone!
Their hotel rooms were on the fifth floor. It had been such a long time since
then, so they should’ve arrived even if it was 500 flights of stairs!
Bai Cai replied to a fan, “I also don’t know where they went. Maybe…
they’ve eloped.”
xiin: Bai Cai, you don’t even know how right you are…
Ch91 - Did he have to go so crazy
so early in the morning?!
A stone stirred up a thousand waves. The comments were all excited––
“Elopement is really 6666.”
“Feeling heartache for my vegetable.”
“Brother Vegetable’s green again, and green twice over.”
“Sure enough, as long as one has enough CPs, they will have enough green
on their heads that horses can run on it.”
Because Bai Cai was a nice professional player who indulged his fans, he
had many cute girls amongst his fans. These girls liked to pair him up with
people every day.
Brother Cai was the type of person who could run the Gossip Emperor
account. How could this kind of thing bother him?
His character set up was that of a zen youth who let the girls play as they
liked.
It was all fine as long as it brought traffic. He was a big adult, so what did
he need moral integrity for?
Bai Cai spent a bit of time on Weibo and finally managed to wait until the
elopement team showed up.
Wei Xiao had originally been smiling like a fox, but he stopped smiling
when he saw Brother Cai. “You’re not done eating?”
Brother Cai: “……” Do you really not feel embarrassed when disdaining
me!
Wei Xiao really was disdainful, “It’s been over half an hour. Are you still
eating?”
If it wasn’t for the fact that Brother Cai was intimidated by the captain, he
would’ve snarked back long ago: Don’t you feel embarrassed saying that
about me? What were you up to for the past half an hour?!
Bai Cai simply ignored Wei Xiao, “Captain, sit. I’ll go get you guys some
delicious food.”
Wei Xiao: “The captain wants celery, and I want watermelon.”
Wei Xiao was amused and said to Lu Feng, “The foods we like to eat both
have the color green in them. We’re really predestined.” As long as he
wanted to find sugar, it could be found everywhere.
Brother Cai had seen this too often and no longer found it strange. He was
already tired of listening to this beast’s cruel and heartless words. He wasn’t
going to take something so pointless seriously.
On the contrary, Wei Xiao felt a little guilty after saying this. He snuck a
glance at Bai Cai, discovered that he didn’t seem bothered, then whispered
quietly to Lu Feng, “Brother Cai’s really oblivious.”
Lu Feng: “… Mm.”
Wei Xiao took advantage of how nobody was around to secretly wrap his
little pinky around Lu Feng’s hand.
Lu Feng turned his hand to hold onto Wei Xiao’s entire hand.
Wei Xiao was delighted, “In a bit, I’ll drive Brother Cai away.”
It was a private world for two. What did they need a vegetable light bulb
for?
Bai Cai didn’t know that thorough plans had already been made for him and
was still earnestly waiting for the chef to finish cutting crab legs.
After preparing a whole pile of food, Brother Cai went back and discovered
that the captain and Wei Xiao were sitting together, next to each other…
very close together.
Brother Cai complained in his heart: The two of you act more like a couple
than a real couple; even the Gossip Emperor wouldn’t dare to write a scene
like this!
As soon as Bai Cai came back, Wei Xiao wanted to pull his hand out from
beneath the table. Who could’ve known that Lu Feng would hold it tight
and not let go?
Wei Xiao: “!”
He chuckled, trying to suppress the numb itchiness on the tip of his heart as
he spoke to Brother Cai, “Old Bai, are you still eating?”
Brother Cai: “???”
Why are you laughing so brilliantly!
Wei Xiao used his thumb to scratch Lu Feng lightly, but the words from his
mouth were quite calm. “Don’t eat so much. You don’t even like to
exercise. What’ll you do if you eat so much you become a fatty when you
go back? How will you be a pampered little wife then?”
Brother Cai’s tone wasn’t pleasant, “None of your business, Laozi doesn’t
get fat from eating!”
Then, he realized that there was a pit in front of him, “Screw your daddy’s
little wife, I’m your God Bai!”
Wei Xiao coaxed him, “Okay, okay, okay, God Bai, go back if you’ve eaten
enough.”
Brother Cai looked at him suspiciously, “Are you trying to drive me away?”
Wei Xiao: “Nah.”
Brother Cai: “You’re clearly…”
Wei Xiao spoke frankly, “I’m clearly driving you away.”
Brother Cai: “…………” F*ck!
The corners of Lu Feng’s lips curved up, and he released Wei Xiao’s hand,
“Eat.”
Wei Xiao immediately forgot about Brother Cai. He smiled at Lu Feng,

“Okay~” The end note of this sentence seemed to float up.
The corner of Brother Cai’s lips twitched. Did he have to go so crazy so

early in the morning?!
Who exactly was the little wife here?!
Bai Cai felt redundant and understood that it would be better to leave first.
He said goodbye to Lu Feng, then turned to leave.
Wei Xiao continued, “Brother Cai, what’s up with you? Do you only care
about the captain? Why didn’t you say goodbye to me?”
Bai Cai stumbled, and he left so quickly he practically flew away.
Wei Xiao was happy after driving him away, but he still insisted on sighing,
“It’s not easy to keep a son by one’s side after they grow up. Brother Cai
used to respect me very much.”
Lu Feng flicked his forehead lightly, “Enough, eat.”

Wei Xiao looked around and saw that nobody was around, so he grew bold
again, “Ah…”
He opened his mouth, demanding to be fed.
Wei Xiao even had the nerve to say, “Come on, hurry up, someone will
come over soon.”
How could Lu Feng move?
Just then, the sound of conversation drifted over as someone headed their
way with a plate of food.
Wei Xiao immediately sat up straight and behaved properly.
Lu Feng was relieved.
Wei Xiao muttered quietly, “I would’ve gone back to the guest room to eat
if I’d known it would be like this.”
Lu Feng’s hands, which were holding his fork and knife, paused. His heart
was filled with both happiness and regret.
Fortunately, they weren’t in the guest room, otherwise, it would be difficult

to determine what exactly they’d be eating; his regret was also because they
weren’t eating in the guest room, because compared to eating food…
Although the dining area was very large, and each table was separated from
each other, Brother Cai had chosen a booth in order to have some privacy.
However, it was still an open restaurant. Small movements wouldn’t be

noticed, but large ones were too risky.
Wei Xiao found the celery at a glance and picked up a piece with his
chopsticks, “Captain, how can you enjoy eating this…”
As he spoke, he put the celery into his own mouth, wanting to try it and see
exactly how bad tasting this thing that his captain liked was.
Celery was something that those who liked it would love it, and those who
disliked it would find it nastier than medicine.
Wei Xiao was ‘poisoned’ by the celery, “Urgh…”
Lu Feng handed him a glass of warm water, “Don’t eat it if you don’t like
it.”
Wei Xiao drank a gulp of water and said, “It’s not that bad.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved as he smiled at him, “When I’m with you,
everything tastes sweet.”
Wei Xiao plucked up the courage to pick up another piece of celery,

planning to make himself get used to it.
In the future, if he wanted to stay with the captain forever, he had to get
used to eating this kind of vegetable.
But who could’ve known that just as he was about to eat it, Lu Feng said a
few words, “Me too.”
Wei Xiao stilled briefly.
Lu Feng added, “Anything you give me tastes delicious.”
Wei Xiao felt like he’d been struck by lightning. He understood instantly.
“You don’t like celery?”
“Mm.”
“You ate it because I held it up to your mouth?”
“Yes.”
“I asked you on Weibo if it was tasty? So you… F*ck!”
What else couldn’t be understood?
At the time, the captain already liked him. How could he refuse to eat the
food that the person he liked sent up to his mouth?
Wei Xiao had asked him if it was delicious or not, so how could he say that
it didn’t taste good?
In an instant, Wei Xiao’s heart felt both sweet and astringent.
The sweetness was: Ahhhhh how could the captain be so good, he was too
good!
The astringency was: How could he be so stupid, making the captain eat so
much celery he didn’t even like to eat!
Wei Xiao was annoyed at himself, “I messed up.”
He even said that he wanted to understand the captain, but as a result, he

didn’t even know what he liked to eat.
Lu Feng couldn’t bear to see him downcast and said, “I’m very happy.”
Wei Xiao looked up at him, “How can you be happy eating something you
don’t like?” The captain was really too good at coaxing him.
Lu Feng dropped his gaze and said lightly, “It’s rare for people to care about
me like this.”
His words made Wei Xiao’s heart flutter and tremble.
Lu Feng wasn’t coaxing him. Each word and sentence was from the heart,
and it wasn’t easy for him to say them out loud.
Without mentioning his childhood, it had taken Lu Feng a very long time to
realize that interactions between people weren’t always malicious.
After joining FTW, the members of the Team of Gods had taken care of
him, but that care was subtle, implicit, and even awkward. It required effort
to sense and understand it.
It took Lu Feng a long time to understand it.
Later on, he became the pillar, the person in charge, and became the so-
called number one in the world.
Close didn’t need people’s care, and nobody would be concerned about the
person who stood at the top.
Only Wei Xiao was different.
His kindness towards Lu Feng was straightforward and simple; nothing was
concealed or hidden.
Lu Feng could understand it with a glance, and see the brilliant and
beautiful soul in his body.
This kind of care was something Lu Feng couldn’t get even if he asked for
it. How could anything about it make him feel uncomfortable?
The celery really hadn’t been that hard to eat.
Wei Xiao felt so much heartache his heart was about to break. He said
anxiously, “Captain, you have me now, I…”
He recalled what Lu Feng had said to him and blurted out, “I’ll be your
family, your friend, your…” He was afraid of being heard by others, so he
leaned in close to his ear and added, “Your lover.”
Lu Feng held his hand tightly and suppressed his voice, “Eat.”
Wei Xiao: “Mm.

Neither of them wanted to let go of each other.
After eating, Wei Xiao ran into Yuan Ze in the bathroom.
Yuan Ze had something in his mouth.
Wei Xiao frowned, “Captain Yuan, no smoking in the bathroom.”
Yuan Ze: “Lollipop.”
He took it out, and it really was a fricken lollipop, a strawberry flavored

one!
Eating a lollipop in the bathroom, you’re really something. Really worthy

of being Old Shit!
Wei Xiao didn’t even know how to continue disdaining this person!
The two of them washed their hands together. Yuan Ze looked at the Wei
Xiao in the bright mirror, “Yesterday’s performance was pretty good.”
Wei Xiao: “It was so-so.”
Yuan Ze started again, “You really don’t want to come to L&P?”
Wei Xiao countered, “If I go, what’ll Old G do?”
Yuan Ze: “Gary loves Close deeply. He can go to FTW.”
Wei Xiao’s radar was on alert, “So many people love Close. FTW can’t
hold them all.”
Yuan Ze: “Gary’s different. For better or worse, he’s still the second in the
world.”
In last year’s solo competition, Old G had taken second place.
Wei Xiao had always liked eating vinegar. At this time, he’d already
become a vinegar spirit, “That’s because I didn’t compete then.”
Yuan Ze laughed. His pair of black eyes looked deeply at Wei Xiao, “Quiet,
believe me, being Close’s opponent is more interesting.”
Wei Xiao recalled his dialogue with Kim Sung-hyun, and there was a super
big feeling of discontent in his heart, “That’s you. My captain and I are a
match made in heaven!”
Oh, they really were a match made in heaven now.
Yuan Ze didn’t say more, “Alright. I’m looking forward to your

performance in the global competition.”
Wei Xiao was the least likely to back down during the trash talk part of the
game, “Don’t worry, FTW will take down the world championships this
year with a grand slam!”
The singles competition, doubles competition, team competition, all of it

would be FTW’s!
Something that the Team of Gods from back then couldn’t do, FTW would
get it done now!
Yuan Ze smiled like a fox, “Don’t say that big brother didn’t remind you.
Your FTW might not be able to get a single championship.”
Wei Xiao thought that he was still talking about the singles competition,
“Enough already, my captain even broke records this year!”
After getting four consecutive titles, he’d gotten five consecutive titles. This
was the real meaning of ‘hands were soft from holding up so many
championships’.
Yuan Zes teeth itched, and the lollipop really wasn’t a good fix.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t smoke.
“You haven’t seen the rankings in Group B yet, have you?”
Wei Xiao really hadn’t looked yet. He’d been busy falling in love over the
past day and night, so where was he supposed to find the time?
Yuan Ze baited him deliberately, “Take a guess at who came second?”
Wei Xiao rolled his eyes, “What, did EVE turn the tables on Y1?”
The situation in Group B and Group A were similar, where two teams were
dominant.
There was no need to mention the champion team Y1, who were
excessively strong. EVE, as one of the top four teams in the world, was also
strong enough to walk sideways.
Especially as these two teams were both in the European division. The
smell of gunpowder was heavy, and neither side would stop until the other
side was dead every time they met.
Yuan Ze laughed briefly, “RR.”
Yuan Ze: “That’s right, the RR team from the China competition zone.”
A big surprise had really exploded out in winter training’s Group B.
China’s RR team had been deadly and fierce in the early stages, with their
mid-laner Moonlit constantly provoking Xie He, full of enthusiasm and
energy in the few times they fought.
Finally, the competition committee had changed the rules, and their rivalry
had stopped for a while. However, RR had drawn EVE in the final prize
pool competition.
Nobody was optimistic about RR and felt that EVE would win steadily.
RR’s captain, Money, had sent out a Weibo message, “Darlings, help cheer
for our Little Moon. Hey, if he wins this game against God Xie, I’ll create a
lottery for a Porsche Cayenne, and let everyone play.”
And then…
RR won against EVE.
Moonlit executed a wave of amazing operations and took down Xie He.
RR even managed to take down EVE’s support in the 2v2 skirmish. The
rest of the team played out a strong counter attack and played a beautiful
reversal game, winning the match!
Because of the time difference, most of the players in Group A had still
been sleeping while the match took place. The fans back home were the
only ones who’d blown up instantly.
Money was really rich. He immediately sent out a Weibo, “If we win
against Y1, we’ll draw a Ferrari.”
The hot search this morning had all been about RR and having money.
People who didn’t know the situation would click in, and then get drawn in.
Unfortunately, RR lost the finals. Even so, the money in the prize pool
wasn’t enough for the other team captains to play around with.
After they finished with their celebration banquet, Money didn’t waste any
time and directly drew the prize winner––
As soon as the winner’s name came out, the entire network was sent into an
uproar.
Brother Vegetable was miserable, Brother Vegetable was really miserable.
He’d been ditched so early in the morning, ate a meal on his own, and was
driven away right after the people he’d been waiting for arrived…
TRAGIC. Written in capital letters.
Bai Cai idled away the time by scrolling through his Weibo, and then his
mouth dropped open in shock.
What?
WTF!
He won a prize, he won the lottery for a Porsche Cayenne???

Ch92 - The future was promising.
This was really an unexpected surprise.
Brother Cai hadn’t slept well the night before and had gotten up early in the
morning.
Because of the time difference, the events in Group B were basically held
during Group A’s morning.
When Mo made the lottery Weibo post, Brother Cai had just been going
through his Weibo.
They were all players in the same competition zone. Brother Vegetable had
a good relationship with Moonlit (the grandmaster had made a lot of money
off him), and Money was a ‘lucky mascot’ in Glory, so Brother Vegetable
was actually quite fond of RR.
He’d only forwarded the post out of politeness, helping spread the word so
that this rich compatriot could gain more popularity.
Who would’ve known… he’d actually won the prize!
Luck was a very magical thing. The more one wanted to win the first prize,
the less likely it was to happen. If one didn’t even think about it, it would
drop down from the sky!
Bai Cai wasn’t the only one who was muddled. The entire China
competition zone blew up.
“If it wasn’t that everything was done publicly, I would’ve suspected that
Captain Mo was pulling strings behind the scenes.”
“White?? FTW’s support player?”

“Damn, the god of wealth really is the god of wealth. Even this can
happen!”
“Bai, White––his face is white. Cai––wealth. Mama, is it too late for me to

change my name now?”
“I’ve witnessed history being born. The number one richest person in Glory
drew the luckiest person in Glory!”
“I just want to say quietly that Money and the god of wealth seems to be a
good pair to ship…”
There were enough Lu Feng CPs to build a great wall, but Bai Cai wasn’t
far behind. It was just that Lu Feng was always the gong, while Bai Cai was
always the shou, and their attributes weren’t the same.
Mo Hui (Captain Mo’s real name) was also very surprised at the results of
this lottery. He shouted out to Brother Cai over the internet, “God Bai,
badass.”
Brother Cai: “……”
Money: “Don’t worry, I’ll drive the car to FTW directly.”
A Porsche Cayenne was worth at least a million yuan.
This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for the Brother Cai who was
greedy for money.
But!
Our Brother Cai was someone who had a character set-up to maintain,
especially on the internet. He still felt some burden as an idol, so he
answered reservedly, “Captain Mo, this isn’t very suitable…”
Money: “It’s fine, the lottery was public. It’s your good luck.”
Brother Cai liked to hear these kinds of words: His luck really was good
enough to explode!
Money continued to chat with him, “Are you guys going back today?”
Brother Cai didn’t dare to expose their itinerary and only said vaguely,
“Yeah, all teams are returning today.”
Money: “Alright, see you back at home.”
What to do, what to do, what to do? He would die if he had to refuse the
one million that had arrived in his hands!
At this time, Wei Xiao was still in the bathroom and didn’t know that his
family’s vegetable had become a god of luck.
After Yuan Ze told him that RR had come in second, Wei Xiao understood.
He raised his eyebrows, “Captain Yuan’s meaning is that we might not even
win the domestic championship?”
Yuan Ze liked his little fearless appearance that wasn’t afraid of the heavens
and the earth, and he liked pouring buckets of cold water over him even
more, “I’m clearer about EVE’s level than you are. No matter how RR won,
their strength is indisputable.”
He continued, “This is different from when you won against Pro. EVE was
in full swing, and Xie He didn’t underestimate his opponent at all.”
RR had still been able to win under those conditions. It was enough to show
how fierce the team was this year!
Wei Xiao wouldn’t be scared from just this. In reverse, he became even
more energetic, “It’s good like this.”
Yuan Ze raised his eyebrows.
Wei Xiao turned off the tap and tilted his head to look at him, “If the
domestic competition is too weak, I won’t have the confidence to hammer
you into blowing up in the global competition.”
The implication behind his words was that, the fiercer the domestic
competition was, the better the situation. If all of the teams in the China
competition zone were fierce daddies, and FTW managed to kill their way
out of it, they would be able to break open a bright road in the global
competition.
There was no rainbow without suffering.
If the entire China competition zone rose up, then the FTW that was able to
win the championship would be a genuinely powerful team!
Yuan Ze crunched down, biting into the lollipop in his mouth. His dark eyes
were deep as he stared at Wei Xiao, “Good.”
Wei Xiao dried his hands and went out, “See you in the globals.”
Yuan Ze: “I’m waiting for you to win.”
Wei Xiao: “You’ll also be watching me win the championship.”
Yuan Ze was waiting for FTW’s domestic championship, but Wei Xiao
wanted him to watch as FTW took the global championship!”
Yuan Ze stared at the back figure of this thin youth that was filled with
vitality, and his fingertips burned slightly.
Sure enough…
This youth always aroused a strong desire for conquest.
After walking off, Wei Xiao took out his cell phone and sent a WeChat
message to his captain who’d been called away by Xie He, “Captain,
captain, captain!!! RR took second place in Group B’s winter training camp,
and Moonlit won against Xie He! It’s really exciting. Let’s hurry up and go
home, this year’s domestic competition will be fun. When does the regular
season start exactly? Let’s make an appointment for a training match. How
about playing ten games against RR every day? If RR doesn’t agree, I’ll go
find Little Moonlit and guarantee a date!”
He’d sent the message as a voice message, and the speed of his speech was
like a small firecracker, noisy and fast.
Lu Feng understood the last part of his words. He replied, “A date?”
Wei Xiao clicked open the voice message. His ears were pleasantly
numbed, but he hastily clarified, “I mean, arrange a date!”
After that, he found that it was still ambiguous, so he quickly withdrew the
message.
Lu Feng: “I heard it.”
Wei Xiao decided to act coquettish first regardless of whether or not he was
in trouble, “Captain, I was wrong, in the future, I’ll only set dates with you,
and…”
When he saw the ellipsis, Wei Xiao understood that things were resolved.
He quickly switched back to the key point, “So, how about arranging
training matches when we go back?”
Lu Feng asked him, “Still downstairs?”
Wei Xiao: “Stepping into the elevator.”
Lu Feng: “Pack up your bags, we’re heading to the airport soon.”
Wei Xiao: “Right away!”
It wasn’t until he got into the van that Wei Xiao learned about Brother Cai’s
airdropped Porsche Cayenne.
“Amazing, Brother Cai!” Wei Xiao was surprised.

The Little Ning whose chin had hit the ground from surprise, and the Yue
Wenle who was so shocked he’d dropped his chips, had already calmed
down.
Brother Cai spoke in a reserved tone, “It’s unexpected, it’s all an

unexpected surprise. It’s also a good result that comes from doing good
things often.”
Wei Xiao really was happy for him, “Alright, enough, Brother Cai, I knew
that your little hands were lucky a long time ago, but I never thought that
they’d be that lucky.”
Previously, during the free matching, Wei Xiao had been able to play so
happily all because of Bai Cai’s luck in drawing them big boss-level
opponents.
As soon as he spoke, Bai Cai’s lips twitched, and he began to vaguely

understand why his luck had been so explosively good.
Sure enough this was the law of conservation of one’s character. He’d been
abused throughout the entire winter training competition, so he’d gotten a
luxury gift bag at the end?
Tsk… this really was a bargain.
Brother Cai wanted to lay down and get abused again so that he could get
another Porsche 15 days later.
Bai Cai had already made preparations with Xiang Liu regarding winning
the lottery.
This was a very delicate matter.
Other players helping to forward a lottery was a very normal thing,

especially for someone like Bai Cai who was friendly with everyone (in the
situation where people didn’t know that he was the Gossip Emperor). He
often helped others spread the word, so forwarding Captain Mo’s Weibo
post wasn’t anything special.
Who could’ve known that this lottery platform would be so magical and
end up sniping blindly at Brother Cai?
Brother Cai might be overjoyed, but he also knew that it wasn’t that simple.
First of all, their Weibo accounts belonged to the club. Although it was his
small lucky hand that had drawn the Porsche Cayenne, the FTW.White
Weibo account belonged to FTW. According to their contracts, the car
actually belonged to the club.
Xiang Liu’s expression had also been stunned when he heard him recount
the situation. His mind filled with the thought––such things could happen?!
Of course, he couldn’t be the decision maker for such a major thing. He

called Lu Feng, and said that there was something important that he wanted
to ask.
Lu Feng had just gone upstairs. When he heard about this, he immediately
went to ask Bai Cai, “Do you have your driver’s license?”
It had only been one and a half years since Bai Cai had wanted to go back
to his hometown and raise pigs and farm. When would he have had time to
learn this kind of high-level thing?
Lu Feng: “Do you want to have a car?”
Brother Cai quickly shook his head, “No, no, no need.”
Lu Feng: “How about this, the car will stay with the club, but you’ll be paid
the cash equivalent.”
Bai Cai: “!”
Lu Feng asked him. “Or would you rather keep the car?”
Bai Cai shook his head violently, then quickly stopped himself. He was
only able to find his voice again half a beat later, “No, Captain, this…”
Reasonably speaking, this car actually belonged to the club ahhhhh!

Even though his luck had played a role, the club didn’t have to pay him
fully in cash!
Lu Feng: “Don’t think too much. You drew it, so it’s yours.”
Brother Cai: “……………………”
The corners of Lu Feng’s mouth curved up very slightly, “Your luck is

pretty good.”
It was a simple few words, but it made Bai Cai’s heart surge, and tears filled
his eyes. He wished that he could sign a lifetime contract with FTW, relying
on the base for a living for a lifetime and never leave!
Where else could he find such a good captain, such a good boss, such a
good club, ahh!
Later on, FTW really did pay him in full for the car. Brother Cai, who’d
gained an extra 1.2 million just like that, was happy waking up every
morning, knowing that he could go and look at his bank account balance.
Of course, these were all things that happened later.
Chen Feng waited until everyone was finished with being excited, then said
seriously, “Did you all see Group B’s rankings?”
Wei Xiao: “RR came second!”
There was a swish as Chen Feng shook open the paper poster that had been
rolled up in his hands.
There it was––
FTW’s soul painter, Chen Feng’s handiwork!
Bai Cai and Yue Wenle had encountered this before and wanted to cover
their eyes.
Wei Xiao and Ning Zhehan were new and didn’t understand. They looked
over in interest, and then…
Wei Xiao: “… Tch.”
Tang Chen praised, “The drawing is very wonderful, it’s drawn in such a
flowery way that nobody can understand it!”
Chen Feng slapped him on the head, and God Tang shut up.
This poster was really magical. How should it be described?
Anyone who saw the poster have the same kind of thoughts in their heart:
They felt bad for the paper, for the pen, the pigments, and even the table it
was drawn on…
That’s right, they felt bad for the materials, because the pictures and
characters on the poster were too ugly!
This wasn’t a simple matter of drawing badly. The colors were dark, the
lines were treacherous, and the whole thing gave off a chilly feeling…
Wei Xiao was barely able to make out something, “This is… a list of teams
for the regular season?”
Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him, “Nonsense.”
It was already amazing that he was able to identify something, but he’d
actually been disdained.
Wei Xiao’s heart was bitter, and he toppled back towards his captain.
There was a purpose to Chen Feng’s poster, which was to tell the players
about the dangerous situation in the domestic competition.
“Don’t think that you can be proud of taking third place in the winter
training camp.”
“This year’s China division is unusually powerful and overbearing!”
“Do you see? This is RR, who won against last year’s global top four…”
He pointed to a messy ball of dark paint and spoke very righteously.
Wei Xiao raised his hand.
Chen Feng tilted his chin up slightly, “Speak.”
Wei Xiao: “Money is so rich, so shouldn’t RR be golden and shiny?”
The three little ones from FTW couldn’t resist, “Pffft!”
Wei Xiao winked towards Lu Feng, “Isn’t that right, captain?”
Lu Feng was calm, “Mm.”
Coach Chen: “……………………”
To hell with your ‘mm’. With such indulgence, children would only become
more and more bratty!
The original intention behind Chen Feng making the poster was to calm the
team down, cool their blood, and let them know that the domestic
competition was like a thorn bush that couldn’t be taken lightly.
In order to create this atmosphere, he hadn’t even eaten his meals and had
painstakingly drawn out a hellish poster. Yet as a result…
With Little Lunatic Wei here, cooling people down went out the window!
Each and every one of them were all floating up to the sky!
Chen Feng said, “RR is very strong; they managed to overturn EVE.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes brightened, “Arrange a training match!”
Chen Feng: “TPT collected a large amount of data and almost jilted Y1!”
Wei Xiao: “Arrange a training match!”
Chen Feng: “This year’s 3U is also very strong…”
This time, Wei Xiao changed his words, “Don’t worry, I’ve already
arranged for a training match with Asleep’s side.”
Coach Chen: “……………………”
Everyone in the van was amused by his words.
During the two hours of driving, the tired children all fell asleep one after
another
Wei Xiao leaned against Lu Feng’s shoulder and slept quietly and neatly.
Lu Feng looked down at him, a faint smile hovering at the corners of his
mouth.
Winter training camp was over. FTW had only taken third place, which
wasn’t a particularly brilliant performance in Group A or Group B.
They’d lost to L&P and Pro.
They’d lost the one million dollar bonus, and their momentum wasn’t as
impressive as RR’s.
But…
This year’s FTW was very different.
They had a new injection of fresh blood, new faces, and a new beginning.
As Lu Feng had said when he first met Wei Xiao, “… You’re

inexperienced, but your future is promising.”
The current FTW had also inherited this sentence––
They lacked experience, but their future was promising.
For the win.
The dream of youth was only just beginning.
xiin – this is the end of the first arc (out of three arcs)… next up is the
regular season, and some angst/drama o.o
Ch93 - Lu Feng took him to a
remote corridor, "What do you
want?"
When they arrived at the airport, Wei Xiao was still dazed and out of it.
Winter training had lasted for 15 days, and every day of it had been high
intensity training.
Wei Xiao had a highly dedicated temperament. He never did things

sloppily; this didn’t apply just to competitions; he’d devoted himself fully
to every match.
He’d been like a string that had been stretched taut, and coupled with
starting this first, sweet love, not only had he not felt tired, he’d even been
very excited.
Now that it was over, he felt sleepy and kept feeling as if he couldn’t get
enough rest.
He hadn’t brought any luggage. His backpack was settled on top of Lu

Feng’s suitcase, and his hands were empty.
Bai Cai disdained him, “Can’t you manage on your own!”
Wei Xiao yawned, his entire person leaning on Lu Feng, “None of your
business.”
Brother Cai: “It’s fortunate that there aren’t any fans. If someone took a
photo of this, you’d rush into the hot search.”
Wei Xiao’s heart wavered.

If this was before the winter training camp, he would’ve taken the photos
on his own and then gone to do the deed himself, wanting to keep Close and
Quiet’s ID linked together every day.
At this time, he still wanted them to be tied together, but he had a guilty
conscience. Wei Xiao jumped right in and said with a straight face, “What’s
there to take photos of? It’s not like I asked the captain to hold me.”
Brother Cai rolled his eyes, “Do you want to be held in a princess carry?”
Lu Feng pinched his waist lightly through his clothes, just where he was
ticklish. The itch made his heart thump.
Seeing that Wei Xiao didn’t make a sound, Brother Cai glanced over at him,
“F*ck, are you shy?”
The tip of Wei Xiao’s ears were a little red, but it had nothing to do with the
princess carry. It was because the captain was acting like a rogue!
Ahhhhh, a dishonest captain was so invigorating, he really wanted…
Fine, they were out in public, he didn’t want anything right now!
Wei Xiao stared at Bai Cai, “If you keep talking, you can come and carry
your daddy on your back!”
Forget it, forget it, the Brother Cai who’d gotten a Porsche in a moment of
carelessness wasn’t going to nitpick with him, hehe.
The Brother Cai who was proud of his gains went to find Little Ning and
take on a role as a big brother, ignoring the beast behind him.
Taking advantage of the time when nobody was looking back, Wei Xiao
quietly pinched Lu Feng’s fingers.
Lu Feng looked forward steadily.
Wei Xiao had been acting like he had no bones ever since he got off the
van, and now, he leaned on him even more, pasting up against his ear and
calling out to him, “Captain…”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao’s lips curved, and his laughter was wicked, “Want hugs.”
Wei Xiao amused himself to death with his own words. He then loosened
Lu Feng’s hand, wanting to go and catch up with Bai Cai.
He hadn’t yet left when he found his wrist being grasped by Lu Feng.
Wei Xiao turned back in surprise.
Lu Feng stared at him, then said to Xiang Lu, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
Xiang Liu took over his luggage, “Okay.”
Wei Xiao blinked.
Lu Feng asked him, “Are you going?”
To hell with going to the bathroom; Lu Feng took him to a remote corridor,
and the tips of their noses almost brushed together, “What do you want?”
Wei Xiao couldn’t hold down the corners of his lips, “Hug.”
Lu Feng held him by the waist and really held him up.
Wei Xiao cried out lightly, his hands wrapping around Lu Feng’s neck, his
entire person hanging off his body.
Lu Feng pressed him against the wall and continued to ask, “What else?”
His dark eyes stared at his lips, and wasn’t it just because he wanted to kiss
them?
Wei Xiao’s entire body felt numb, and he couldn’t hold back at all, “Want
kisses… wu…”
His mouth was covered, and Wei Xiao grew dizzy from the fierce kiss.
It was over, it was over.
He’d originally been very tired, and now, he wanted to walk even less!
The two of them only caught up with the main group ten minutes later.
Wei Xiao was even stickier than before, really wanting to walk hand in
hand with Lu Feng.
Brother Cai glanced over at Wei Xiao during a gap in his bragging to Little
Ning, “!”
What was going on with his sultry expression?
Had the captain promised to solo with him day and night again?
After passing the security check, they still had some time before boarding.
There was a computer in the lounge, and Glory was installed on the
computer.
Wei Xiao was drawn to it, “Old Bai, let’s double…” Even before he could
say ‘queue’, Lu Feng had interrupted him, “Come with me.”
Wei Xiao’s heart thumped hard, his eyes speaking silently: The captain
wants to kiss again? Oh hey, how could the captain be like this? He was too
likeable!
Lu Feng, who’d miraculously understood: “……”
Brother Cai: “What’s the point in queueing for a game now? Can you
guarantee that you’ll win the game in 30 minutes?”
Bai Cai might be saying so, but he’d already arrived in front of the
computer and was preparing to log in. And then…
Where’d he go?
Wei Xiao was already far away, “What’s the point in playing? There’s only
30 minutes, and what if we can’t finish the game? Won’t we be screwing
over our teammates?”
Wei Xiao’s voice drifted over to encourage him from afar, “If you really
want to hone your skills, you can go to the training area to kill soldiers.
Work hard, Veggie!”
Brother Cai was a pure support player. Kill soldiers? Whose soldiers was he
supposed to kill? If he killed them, Old Yue would blow up his vegetable
head!
Wei Xiao had already slipped away.
Bai Cai’s face was filled with confusion. He found that he was getting less
and less able to understand this beast!
Wei Xiao followed Lu Feng out of the lounge and looked around, “Is there
a good place to go to?”
There didn’t seem to be any hidden corridors after they passed the security
check.
Lu Feng said deliberately, “There is.”

Wei Xiao was excited, “Captain, you’re really amazing!~”
Lu Feng glanced at him.
Wei Xiao asked curiously, “Have you been to this airport before?”
Lu Feng: “No.”
Wei Xiao: “Then, how did you find a ‘good place’ so quickly?”
Lu Feng: “We’re almost there.”
While Lu Feng was speaking, he’d already led him into a large toy
supermarket.
Wei Xiao was surprised, “This… isn’t such a great place, right?”
There were children everywhere, and it wasn’t appropriate for them to be

lovey dovey and affectionate here!
Lu Feng looked at his little expression and really couldn’t hold back. He
poked his forehead, “Enough.”
Lu Feng reminded him, “We’re about to go back to the base. Did you buy
anything for Soybean?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
F*ck, he’d been so focused on falling in love he’d forgotten all about his
doggy son.
A few days ago, Wei Xiao had watched videos of Soybean every day,
listening to his doggy howl.
Later on, especially on the last day, Wei Xiao’s heart had been filled with
Lu Feng. How could he remember Brother Soy?
Before he went out, he’d promised Soybean that he’d bring him back a gift.
Now… He‘d go back and get him some dog food and treat it as a gift…
kinda.
Lu Feng said, “There aren’t any suitable shops on the island, but fortunately
there are toys sold at the airport.”
There weren’t any pet stores, but there was a toy store.
To some extent, a doggy son was still a son, Toys that a child of five or six
years old liked to play with would also be popular with dogs.
Wei Xiao was ashamed, “I’m incompetent as a father, I’m not even as good
as a new father like you.”
Lu Feng’s lips curved, “In that case, I have to perform even better.”
When the Chinese-speaking shop assistant saw the two handsome Asian
men step into the store, she happily came over to ask, “Sirs, may I ask how
old the little friend you’re buying a gift for is?”
Wei Xiao thought about it, then said to Lu Feng, “Our son has just reached
two years old this year.”
The shop assistant little sister, “???”
Our-our son? You… you two… have a son?
Lu Feng didn’t explain further, “Mm.”
Wei Xiao smiled brightly at the shop assistant, “Although they’re only two
years old, they can stir up a big fuss. Is there a robot or something? It’s best
if it’s electric.”
This little sister’s mental quality was very high. She was only stunned for a
brief moment, “W-wait a minute.”
Later, after some back and forth, Lu Feng selected the biggest one.
Wei Xiao was very surprised, “This can even be programmed! How would
it know how to play with it!”
Soybean liked robots that moved around and emitted light, but how could
its doggy brain understand something so advanced?
Lu Feng: “I’ll play with it together.”
Wei Xiao was silent for a moment, “I lose. You’re really a good father.”
The little shop assistant: “……”
Oh my god, these two only looked to be about 20, but they actually had a
son!
That’s not right, they were both men…
Sure enough, had all the good men in the world been snatched up by other
good men?
When Wei Xiao returned to the lounge, he was holding a large gift box in
his hands.
Little Ning noticed it, “Who did you buy a gift for?”
Wei Xiao: “Soybean.”
Little Ning instantly understood, “We’ve gone out for such a long time, we
really should bring some gifts back when we return!”
The Brother Cai who had wealth fall down from the sky was now very
generous. He looked at the gift box and said, “Is it for my Brother Soy?
What did you buy? I’ll pay for it. As an uncle, I should occasionally spoil
my nephew.”
Wei Xiao was amused, “Really?”
Wasn’t it just a doggy toy? Based on how big the box was, it was probably a
dog bed?
If it was just a dog bed it would only cost 300 or 400 at most. Brother Cai
had just won a Porsche; why would he quibble about such a small amount
of money?
He wouldn’t be able to live up to his name as a vegetable.
Bai Cai: “Of course, give me a number. I’ll transfer it to you over WeChat.”
Wei Xiao simply handed the invoice over to Bai Cai.
Bai Cai looked it over blankly, “…F*ck!”
Wei Xiao smiled like a fox, “The captain paid for it. You can just transfer
the money to the captain.”
With that, he blinked his eyes at his captain: Take a look at how thrifty I
am, I even managed to get the money back just like this.
Lu Feng: “……” He turned his gaze away.
Brother Cai’s hands were trembling, “You-you, you guys…”
He didn’t dare to scold the captain and could only roar in his heart: Are you
guys f*cking crazy? You bought a 12,000 dollar intelligent robot for a
husky?!
What will you do with it after you bring it back!
Can it play with it?!
Oh, it could play with it by taking it apart…
Wei Xiao urged him, “Hurry, we’re about to board the plane.”
Brother Vegetable played dead.
Wei Xiao: “What’s going on? What happened to the deep feelings between
uncle and nephew?”
Brother Cai: “Sorry, it’s not that deep.”
Wei Xiao laughed and cursed, “You’ve just gotten a car worth over a
million dollars, but you can’t even give 12,000 to your big nephew?”
Brother Cai: “I thought about it. I was wrong, and I shouldn’t try to fight
the captain for Brother Soy’s love.”
Wei Xiao clicked his tongue, “Take a look at our captain, then take a look at
our Brother Vegetable, it really is embarrassing comparing people to
others.”
Brother Cai closed his ears and couldn’t hear a thing.
In any case, it was impossible for him to give out this money. Anything
over 300 was like asking Brother Vegetable for his life.
After boarding the plane, Wei Xiao was full of dislike for this first class
cabin.
He was clearly sitting next to Lu Feng, but they couldn’t even hold hands in
secret.
Why did they need such a large space?! People should be closer together!
After four hours on the plane and two hours in the van, it was already 9PM
by the time they arrived at the base.
Wei Xiao had only just gotten out of the car when he heard the sound of the
husky’s approach
As soon as the door to the villa opened, a big black and white dog rushed
out.
Seeing that Soybean was so enthusiastic, his father, who’d been separated
from him for 15 days, felt a strong feeling of fatherly love in his heart.
His doggy son had missed him so much.

Soybean ran over the whole way, clean fur fluffed up by the wind, eyes a
bright misty blue, its vigorous body filled with yearning and longing.
Wei Xiao stood there, opened his arms, and waited for it, “Brother Soy!”
Soybean howled, then pounced behind him.
Wei Xiao: “???”
He turned his head. What a good fellow, his doggy son’s eyes were filled
with his boyfriend.
That’s right, Soybean had come flying, but it wasn’t aimed at Wei Xiao, but
at Lu Feng, who was standing behind him.
After Soybean had pounced on the most handsome one, it was fully
satisfied.
Brother Cai & Little Ning & Old Yue, and even Chen Feng and Tang Chen
were all laughing loudly.
It was rare to see Little Lunatic Wei come out on the losing end. It was an
unusually happy thing.
Wei Xiao was flustered and exasperated, “Soybean, you stupid face con
dog, Laozi is going to stew you!”
Soy – real face con dog – bean howled happily in his male god’s embrace.
This coquettish look seemed to be truly inherited from a certain someone.
xiin: a whole chapter filled with dog food… maybe Soybean will eat it.
Ch94 - If you win, I’ll kiss you. If I
win, you kiss me, okay?
After returning back to China, the days seemed to get shorter and shorter.
The opening day for the regular season had already been set, and the roster
of teams had been released.
The 14 teams were divided up into two groups, and there would be two
intra-group cycles and one mixed group cycle.
During the regular season that would last for over two months, each team
would play 19 games.
If they won all of them, the highest score they could get was 19 points.
This was the current highest possible score for the regular season in China.
No club had ever achieved this.
The FTW from back then had taken a grand slam during the regular season,
but the domestic regular season had still been following the old competition
system where there was just a single intra-group cycle and one mixed group
cycle, adding up to only 13 games total.
The Team of Gods had won every game, and the highest score they’d gotten
was only 13 points.
The regular season was a BO3 point snatching system. After all the
competitions were completed, the stats of the two groups would be put
together based on the points ranking.
The top four teams from each group would enter the playoffs.
The playoffs were held in a brutal elimination system.
If they lost, they’d go on holiday early.
If they won, they could keep on fighting.
Fighting until they won the championship!
FTW was very clear about the competition system.
Wei Xiao was no stranger to it; during the 2020 domestic competition, he’d
basically accompanied Bai Cai the whole way through.
When fans spoke about the Jungler King behind Brother Cai, they were
talking about Wei Xiao.
The domestic competition was a protracted war. This was particularly the
case during the regular season, which not only required obtaining points,
but also training.
After undergoing over two months of the competition, any professional

player would undergo a great transformation.
RR’s Moonlit, TPT’s Eurostar, 3U’s Asleep…
These players who’d all been hammered and beaten by the grandmaster and
hadn’t toppled, and had all made great progress after going through the
domestic competition.
Without having had that experience in the domestic competition, there

wouldn’t have been such an outstanding winter training camp performance.
This year, the Chinese competition zone was really filled with a strong
momentum!
Wei Xiao looked at the list and was very delighted, “The opening fight is
between us and RR.”
Chen Feng nodded, “It’s a convention to have the first place and the runner
up start up the season.”
There was an opening game on the first day of the regular season.
This so-called opening game was actually a performance competition.
Winning or losing didn’t affect their points. It was just a game that started
off the new season of the year!
Over the years, the inauguration game had always been between the
champion and the runner up.
The competition season of each division would always be inaugurated by

the champion and runner up.
This same event in the global competition would be inaugurated by the

world champion and runner up.
This was a stage that only belonged to them.
It showcased the glory of the past, and also a new starting point, setting
down the burdens of the past and beginning a new journey.
In 2020, the China competition zone’s champion was FTW, and the runner
up was RR.
In 2021, the first match of the China competition zone would also be
between them!
The inauguration battle would be held ten days later.
After explaining the general situation, Chen Feng said, “You guys now have
your last three days of free time.”
The four little ones of FTW all perked up their ears.
Chen Feng’s cold and heavy gaze swept over each of them, and he said
seriously, “This is the last holiday of the year. Take good advantage of it
and deal with anything that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. After
that, there will be no free time until we’ve won the championship.”
Brother Cai and Yue Wenle had experienced this before. They nodded, then
said, “Understood.”
Little Ning was already boiling with passion. His voice was very loud, “Got
it!”
Wei Xiao wasn’t interested in this holiday. His thoughts and heart were all
filled with something else––applying for his school suspension.
The club had already submitted this application to the school, but he still
had to show up and deal with it himself.
One of these three days had to be allocated towards getting it done.
Requesting a suspension wasn’t difficult.
Although it may sound a bit incredible for a student with an examination

score of 985 to run off and play professionally, there was the outstanding
student Fu Li from Northern University to pave the way. This made it so
that Wei Xiao, who was from a teaching university, didn’t appear so
prominent.
FTW also wasn’t planning to use this to establish Wei Xiao’s public image,
so they hadn’t specifically publicized it.
Wei Xiao was worried about going home.
If it required a parent’s signature, he would certainly have to see them.
Regardless of whether it was Wei Quan or Li Su, he didn’t want to see

either of them.
If he’d had any expectations for them when his grandma had still been
around, his heart was now completely cold after her death.
When it came to fatherly love or motherly love, for Wei Xiao, their familial
relationship had disappeared on the day his grandma died.
Wei Quan and Li Su were nothing but strangers who were related to him by
blood.
After they were allowed to disperse, everyone packed up their luggage and
prepared to return home for a few days.
Brother Cai was humming a small tune as he packed his bags.
Wei Xiao wasn’t feeling happy, so he tried to bury him too, “Why aren’t
you using your 66,000 suitcase.”
One of Brother Cai’s vegetables was that 66,000 suitcase, which he’d given
himself as a championship gift. It was a brand name suitcase, very
expensive and very luxurious.
Bai Cai rolled his eyes. “What do you understand? With that nest of
chickens that my mom raised up, if I drag my little cutie back, it’ll just be
used for chicken shit.”
Brother Cai had made money over the past two years, enough to help his
parents build a villa in their village.
Unfortunately, Mother Bai loved farming, so the garden of the villa was
filled with seasonal vegetables. While she was at it, she’d also filled in the
swimming pool and remodeled it into a chicken coop.
Bai Cai had ‘gone home loaded with honor and wealth’, and when he saw
that his million dollar villa courtyard had become a big farming compound,
he’d collapsed and spent half an hour on the phone with Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao had suppressed his laughter, “Turn on the video so that big
brother can see.”
Brother Vegetable had turned on the video.

Wei Xiao had only taken a glance at it when he burst out honking and
laughing like a goose.
Brother Vegetable was incredibly angry, “Can you not show some f*cking
sympathy.”
Wei Xiao was laughing so hard he couldn’t breathe, “It’s-it’s very good like
this, it’s filled with life.”
Not only was it filled with life, there was also the scent of chicken shit, pig
manure, and cow dung!
When he recalled that incident, Wei Xiao was amused and patted Brother
Cai on the shoulder, “You can do it!”
Brother Cai glanced at him, “What about you?”
He knew about Wei Xiao’s situation.
Wei Xiao’s smile faded slightly, “It’s fine.”
Brother Cai thought briefly, “How about I go back with you?”
Bai Cai thought back and forth, and ultimately couldn’t not worry about this
beast.
Don’t look at how Wei Xiao never seemed to worry about anything; once it
came to anything related to those black-hearted parents of his, there was
always a chance he’d close himself up.
Bai Cai was very worried.
How could Wei Xiao be willing to waste his rare holiday? He glanced at
him, “Can you drive?”
Wei Xiao: “Are you as tall as me?”

Wei Xiao’s voice was careless, “Firstly, you can’t drive, and secondly, you
can’t fight as well as me, but you still want to look out for me? What are
you thinking, it’s not like my family is the Glory canyon.”
His words shifted, and Wei Xiao said happily, “I’m going to go and ask the
captain to accompany me!”
I’m the stupid one for worrying about you!
After coaxing and sending off Brother Cai, Wei Xiao was actually
embarrassed to speak up and ask Lu Feng.
The captain had been busy ever since they returned back to the base. He
hadn’t seen him all morning…
Wei Xiao rubbed the husky’s forehead and muttered, “Your dad doesn’t
want you anymore.”
Soybean cooperated with him, “Ou…”
Wei Xiao poked it, “Your dad doesn’t want you, but he wants me!”
Soybean’s large eyes were innocent, “Aouu…”
[Who the hell knew what my dad was talking about?!]
FTW, sixth floor.
Lu Feng, who’d been busy all morning, shifted his left shoulder, his
eyebrows drawing together in a frown.
Xiang Liu, who was to the side, saw his movements and asked anxiously,
“Do you want to rest for a while?”
Lu Feng shook his head, “It’s fine.”

Xiang Liu was worried, “You haven’t done physiotherapy for over half a
month. Do you want…”
Lu Feng glanced at him from the corner of his eyes.
Xiang Liu shut up.
Lu Feng looked down at the documents, “I know what I’m doing.”
As the only one who knew what was happening, Xiang Liu was often
worried and frightened.
He wanted to say it, but he didn’t dare to. Yet not saying it meant that he
was always worried.
It hadn’t been easy for FTW to gain this new atmosphere. If something
happened to Close at this time…
The consequences were too terrible, and Xiang Liu didn’t dare to think
about it.
They’d been enduring for a full three years.
From having nothing at the beginning, to becoming the current domestic

champions.
Xiang Liu had personally seen their performance records from the winter
training camp. Wei Xiao joining FTW had given them a completely new
outlook and let everyone see a new ray of hope.
Three years…
How many ‘three years’ did professional players have?!
Lu Feng had already been waiting for too long, and FTW had fallen silent
for too long.
They needed a brilliant, golden trophy, a world championship that

represented infinite glory.
During this critical time, there could be no mistakes.
However… Xiang Liu tried briefly to restrain himself, but wasn’t able to
hold back, “The regular season lasts for over two months, followed by the
playoffs, then the national championships…”
The intensity level of this competition schedule was too high.
Not only were there competition games, their training matches were also
fully booked. As Chen Feng had said, as soon as the main season began, the
starter players were on a constant rotation. Unless they were eliminated,
there would be no rest.
Countless healthy players couldn’t endure this pace, let alone with Lu
Feng’s shoulder…
Xiang Liu gritted his teeth, “It’s better if you go for systematic treatment.
This year, FTW will definitely be able to enter the global competition.
When the time comes, you’ll have to play in both the individual and team
competitions. How will…”
He held back the rest of his words and didn’t finish them, but Lu Feng’s
eyebrows drew together, and he said, “Xiang Liu.”
Xiang Liu: “……”
Lu Feng: “Go out.”
At the end of the day, Xiang Liu didn’t dare to continue to persuade him.
He let out a long sigh and turned to go outside.
When there was nobody left in the big office, Lu Feng got up and stood in
front of the French windows.
Outside the window was the FTW base’s canyon garden. The designer had
recreated the Glory Canyon and moved the map from the game into reality.
Brilliant green grass, elaborate defense towers, and the red and blue crystals
that represented their respective camps.
If the crystals exploded, the game was over.
How many matches had ended with that exact explosion?
Lu Feng stared out the window, unblinking. Xiang Liu’s words echoed
through his mind, “When the time comes, you’ll have to play in both the
individual and team competitions…”
It wasn’t just the individual and team games. There were also the doubles
games.
The youth’s clear and clean voice had long embedded itself into his heart:
“Captain, shall we sign up for the doubles this year?”
“We’ll definitely be more tacit than Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran!”
“The singles championship is ours, the doubles championship is ours, and

the 5v5 will also be ours!”
“Taking down three championships in one go, won’t we be bullying others

a little?”
“Whatever, we’ll just bully them anyway!”
Lu Feng bowed his head and clenched his fist gently. His fingertips felt
numb, and pain spread up like a needle straight from his forearm to his
shoulder.
He quickly released his hand, a thin layer of sweat oozing out from his
forehead.
Wei Xiao was bored to death. He tossed the husky aside and was preparing
to go queue for ranked games when his cell phone rang.
Wei Xiao quickly picked up his cell phone. He smiled as soon as he saw
who the caller was.
Lu Feng: “Are you inside?”

Wei Xiao: “I was just about to go to the training room. Captain, are you
finished with your work?” He missed him.
Lu Feng: “Mm. I’ll go find you.”
Wei Xiao had originally been planning to head to the spacious group
training room. Now… of course he had to head to the doubles training
room!
Ah, the FTW base was really good. It actually had something as sweet as a
doubles training room.
Wei Xiao had only just stepped into the room when he heard the sound of
footsteps approaching. He hid behind the door and deliberately concealed
his breathing.
The door opened, and Lu Feng stepped in.
There was nobody in the training room, but Lu Feng noticed Wei Xiao’s
cell phone on the table. His mouth curved up slightly.
There was a bang.
The door closed behind him.
Lu Feng turned his head, his black eyes locking onto Wei Xiaoxiao who’d
been hiding behind the door.
Wei Xiao was surprised, “You… um…”
How had he known that he was hiding there?
He hadn’t even asked the question when Lu Feng wrapped an arm around
his waist and kissed him.
How could Wei Xiao still be concerned about this and that? He clung to his
body and took the initiative to kiss him back.
By the time the two of them separated, Wei Xiao’s cheeks were flushed, “I
like this kind of greeting very much.”
He simply loved it to death. He wished that they could kiss every time they
met.
Lu Feng looked at him, “Do you want to solo?”
Upon hearing this, Wei Xiao’s eyes became even brighter, “Now?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao was stunned, “How could I not want to?! I want to even in my
dreams!”
Lu Feng’s low voice was filled with indulgence, “I’m free these next few
days, so we can solo for as long as you want.”
Wei Xiao was shocked by this sudden wonderful surprise, “As… as long as
I want?”
Lu Feng: “As long as you want.”
Wei Xiao was so excited that he jumped on him, “Captain~”
Lu Feng hugged him, “Yes.”
Wei Xiao rubbed his face against his neck, “Is this a benefit of being in
love?”
Lu Feng: “No.”
Wei Xiao let go and looked at him.
Lu Feng kissed him, “This is.”
The tip of Wei Xiao’s heart tingled: F*ck, he would be seduced to death by
the captain sooner or later!
Wei Xiao was truly too happy that afternoon.
Simply soloing was already enough to make him excited, but he’d thought
of something even better.
“Captain, we can’t just solo, there has to be rewards.”
“What reward?”
“For example, if you win, I’ll kiss you. If I win, you kiss me, okay?”
After saying this, Wei Xiao felt that he was really too smart. He wanted to
give himself 9999 thumbs up!
Lu Feng laughed briefly and said, “Change it slightly.”
Wei Xiao: “???”
Lu Feng spoke slowly, in a very serious tone, “If I win, I’ll kiss you, if you
win, you kiss me.”
It was the same words, but two words were switched around, and it was
spoken by another person. The effect was completely different.
Wei Xiao blushed and his heart thumped, “Captain…”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao accused him, “You’re not allowed to use your beauty to get what
you want!”
This affected his ability to play too much!
One game of solo averaged out to be half an hour, and after playing, the two
of them spent around five minutes fooling around.
In the blink of an eye, the sky had already grown dark.
Wei Xiao felt like he hadn’t even started––in all senses.

Lu Feng hugged him, settling him on his thighs, “Hungry?”
Wei Xiao, who’d just lost a game and had been kissed until his face was
flushed, “Not hungry.”
Lu Feng knew what he was thinking, “We’ll continue after dinner.”
Wei Xiao immediately changed his words, “Hungry!”
Lu Feng set him down, “Let’s go, eat first.”
The two of them played all the way until eleven o’clock at night.
Wei Xiao was as satisfied as could be with this, “Captain, you still have to
get up early. Go sleep.”
When it came to solo, or even kissing, all of it had to be sustainable.
Wei Xiao wasn’t in a hurry!
Lu Feng asked him, “No more?”
Wei Xiao’s heart was super itchy, “Can we continue?”
The captain would really make him die of happiness.
One hour later, Wei Xiao felt heartache for Lu Feng and said that he didn’t
want to play anymore.
Back then, he’d been young and ignorant and soloed for 48 hours straight.
Now, the days were long, and he wasn’t anxious about waiting for this short
amount of time.
Lu Feng saw that he was content and quit the game.

Wei Xiao lay there paralysed in the e-sports chair, and he had the tired
feeling that came after a period of high excitement.
Lu Feng drank a sip of water and called out to him softly, “Wei Xiao.”
Wei Xiao was languid and lazy, “Hm?”
Lu Feng stared at the word ‘Glory’ on the screen and said, “You’ll represent
FTW in this year’s singles competition.”
Only one person from each club could take part in the singles competition.
From the day he joined FTW, Wei Xiao had never thought about signing up
for the singles.
Because everyone knew that Lu Feng was the best candidate.
He was the three times singles champion and was unquestionably the
number one person when it came to solo.
Wei Xiao thought that he’d misheard, “What?”
Lu Feng turned his head to look at him, “This year’s singles, you’ll sign up
for the competition.”
Wei Xiao heard him clearly. The smile hanging on the corner of his lips
faded, and his back straightened, “Why?”
xiin: uh oh…
Ch95 - Wei Xiao: Laozi is really a
saint!
Nobody knew the state of Lu Feng’s shoulder better than Lu Feng himself.
Xiang Liu’s worries were reasonable, but they were meaningless.
In recent years, FTW couldn’t have done without Lu Feng.
Let alone Close toppling down, the impact would be earth-shaking if

anyone learned about his shoulder injury.
Not to mention anything else, the capital divestment would be enough for
FTW to drown in.
In the past three years, FTW had always done a global round trip in the 5v5
competition. How had they managed to develop to their present scale? Why
were their signing fees for the live broadcasting platform so high, and why
were they the sponsors’ favorite?
There was only one reason––
Close.
The world’s most valuable player was also the head of FTW.
This was a very strong injection of reassurance for all their partners.
The value of a club depended largely on their results and their players. Both
were interdependent and indispensable.
Results needed to be maintained, and the players would move around.

These were variables that the capital side had to consider.
Only FTW was different. The player was the person in charge, and this
double identity had tied Close and FTW together.
It was both bondage and security.
Close would never leave FTW, which was something that carried great
value regardless of the team’s performance.
This was also one of the reasons why FTW was able to thrive over the
years.
Fans always liked to say that the great demon king had held up the entire
club by himself. This wasn’t actually an exaggeration; it was fact.
Close was too important for FTW, so important that even Lu Feng didn’t
dare to act rashly.
The biggest disaster that could befall e-sports players was an occupational
disease.
When there was high intensity training coupled with a serious lack of
exercise, how could something not go wrong with a body that was made of
flesh and blood?
Most clubs had rebab and massage professionals, and after the start of the
regular season, the players would do preventive physiotherapy every day.
Even so, there were still so many injuries every year.
E-sports was very draining, and a small mistake would affect the entire
game.
Why did injured players start to decline? It wasn’t just because their
operations couldn’t keep up with their thoughts, but also because their
mentality had collapsed.
Li Heran had fallen from the clouds. Why was it so difficult for him to
stand back up again?
It was because he’d exhausted all his confidence and courage.
The injury to his wrist had had a great impact on him, and there had been an
even bigger impact on his fans.
Countless people had loved him crazily, and countless people were
heartbroken by this.
The howling across the entire internet was heartrending, and these countless
words would eventually take on a life of their own, pressing down on the
players.
“Don’t blame him, he hurt his wrist.”
“He missed a soldier. That wouldn’t have happened with the former Li
Heran.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay, Captain Li, we’ll always love you!”
Good, bad, sympathetic, sarcastic, comforting, abusive…
It was all the same. They all repeated one fact––
Li Heran, you’re ill.
If Lu Feng was on his own, he wouldn’t be afraid of any of these things.
No matter how big the weight was on his shoulders, he could still hold it up.
Unfortunately, there was an entire FTW behind him, an FTW that had
managed to stand up again after experiencing a disaster.
It seemed strong, but in fact, it was as fragile as a thin piece of paper.
Once public opinion pressed down on them, it wouldn’t affect just Lu Feng,
but the whole FTW.
This was the fundamental reason why Lu Feng couldn’t do anything.

They’d been preparing for three years, waiting for three years, working hard
for three years…
Chen Feng, Tang Chen, Xiang Liu, the logistics staff, and the countless fans
who loved them. They were all looking forward to the FTW’s triumphant
return.
At this kind of time, Lu Feng would never allow anything to happen to

Close.
During the winter training camp, Lu Feng hadn’t been able to make
appointments with a physiotherapist because of the venue.
After returning home, he would definitely adhere to a strict physiotherapy

schedule, and coupled with enough exercise, playing in the 5v5 wasn’t a
problem at all.
As for the solo competition…
Lu Feng wanted to hand it over to Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao liked solo and was also good at solo. If he polished up his skills a
bit, he would definitely get good results this year.
As for the doubles…
Wei Xiao and Bai Cai were very suited to play the doubles.
However, all of this couldn’t be said after Wei Xiao asked ‘why?’.
The corners of Wei Xiao’s mouth tightened, his bright black eyes dimming
slightly. His voice also grew quiet, “This year, Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun
will both sign up. They want to solo with you, but you aren’t going to
compete?”
Wei Xiao looked at him, as though wanting to see the real emotions behind
his calm expression, “You’ve always been looking forward to it, haven’t
you? Wanting to have a real fight with them!”
The old Team of Gods had left behind countless regrets.
Close had stayed in FTW, while the others all went their separate ways.
They couldn’t be teammates because of their lingering guilt and uneasiness,

and they weren’t even opponents then.
The Close who’d been left behind, the Close who’d been forgotten, the
Close who was eager to be recognized.
His title as the three-year singles champion couldn’t match up to this year’s
solo game!
Wei Xiao didn’t believe that Lu Feng didn’t want to compete!
Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun, Xie He…
Didn’t he want to prove himself to them?!
Close, who’d chosen to stick with it, to stay behind, to guard and protect
FTW, didn’t he want to show them his faith and beliefs with his own
strength?!
After waiting for three years and finally getting this opportunity that hadn’t
been easy to come by, why did he want to give it up?
Wei Xiao’s tight voice trembled slightly, “Captain, I don’t need you to do
this for me.”
Lu Feng’s heart trembled, and he felt like he’d been hit by a soft
sledgehammer––
It didn’t hurt, it only felt numb.
The tip of Wei Xiao’s nose felt sour, and his eyes were also slightly red, “I
don’t want to participate in the singles competition. I just like soloing with
you.”
He’d thought back and forth, and could only think of this reason.
There was a quota limit for the singles competition, and only one person
from each club could sign up.
If Lu Feng signed up, then Wei Xiao wouldn’t be able to compete.
The captain wanted to give him this chance.
But…
Wei Xiao leaned in close, “I’d rather see you compete. I want to see you
win against Yuan Ze, win against Kim Sung-hyun, see you win the
championship!”
He’d rather see Lu Feng fulfil his dreams, wanted to see him finally see the
rainbow that came after the wind and rain, wanted to see him try his best
and leave no regrets!
These unspoken, unfinished words were all transformed into a voice that
came from the heart, conveying themselves all the way to the bottom of Lu
Feng’s heart.
Lu Feng heard it.
“I…” Lu Feng’s voice was slightly hoarse, and every word seemed to be
squeezed out of his throat, “I value the team competition more, and we’ll
also meet them in the 5v5 games.”
Wei Xiao picked up his hand and rubbed his own cheek against it, “You’re
lying.”
The youth’s soft voice, his cat-like attitude, all broke through Lu Feng’s
camouflage.
Wei Xiao looked at him, “Captain.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “I know you care for me, but I also care about you.”
Wei Xiao: “You sign up this year, and I’ll sign up next year, okay?”
The words that were already at the tip of Lu Feng’s tongue couldn’t be
spoken out.
He couldn’t let down people who were so good to him.
The haze that was pressing down on Wei Xiao’s heart dissipated slightly,
and his tone returned to normal. He even acted coquettish with Lu Feng,
“You really can’t miss out on this year. How old is Old Dog Yuan now?
Maybe he’ll retire after playing this year. When that happens, how will you
find him to hammer him?”
The more Wei Xiao spoke, the more he felt that his words were reasonable,
“We can’t let him be so arrogant. He’s still the singles competition
champion from ‘17. If you don’t win against him this year, he’ll really think
that he’s the world’s number one solo player!”
“You can’t let him daydream all day long.” Wei Xiao looked up at him, “We
should let him wake up and sober up.”
After hearing this, the corners of Lu Feng’s lips curved briefly, “You can
also win against him.”
Wei Xiao was unhappy with this, “How is that the same!”
Wei Xiao cleared his throat and explained for himself, “I’m not afraid of
him, hey, it’s just that you guys should really settle things for once and for
all.”
Settle things.
The former Team of Gods really did need to settle things between them.
Otherwise, Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun wouldn’t have signed up for the
singles competition three years later.
Lu Feng dropped his gaze, “Mm.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up, “You’re not going to try and split hairs again?”
Lu Feng held his hand, “Come here.”
Wei Xiao’s actions were familiar as he wrapped his arms around his neck.
Lu Feng wrapped his arms around his waist and didn’t kiss him, “Wei
Xiao.”
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
Lu Feng said softly, “I like you.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Why was he suddenly confessing? His heart had almost jumped right out of
his chest!
Lu Feng leaned in closer to him and continued to speak in a low, sexy

voice, “I like you.”
Wei Xiao’s face flushed red, “Captain…”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao kissed him, then said, “You’re the one who seduced me first!”
The captain was too, too wicked!
Wei Xiao obtained many, many sweet and honeyed kisses, but he still had a
nightmare that night.
In his dream, he stood outside a door, guarding it tightly, unable to get in,
and unable to go out.
Outside was a precipice, and the inside of the door was empty.
Wei Xiao was holding on desperately to the door frame, and he didn’t know
what he was trying hard to do.
There was an abyss in front of him, and a dark hell behind him.
What exactly was he holding on to?
When he woke up from the dream, Wei Xiao’s forehead was covered in
cold sweat.
Why was he having this dream again?
Sure enough, the captain had given him a scare.
“Ahhhh…” Wei Xiao clutched at his hair and calmed himself down, “It’s
okay, it’s okay, nothing will happen!”
Wei Xiao tried to boost himself up while he was brushing his teeth, and he
managed to shake off the nightmare by the time he had finished washing up
and gargling.
Soybean wasn’t in the room and had likely gone out to go wild.
After taking a look at the time, Wei Xiao was very upset with himself: He’d
gotten up late again and hadn’t managed to go for a run with the captain
that morning.
Sure enough, sports was an e-sports player’s biggest natural enemy.
He really didn’t know how the captain managed to stick with it.
As soon as Wei Xiao thought of Lu Feng, his heart was filled with both
sweetness and happiness.
He strolled out to have some breakfast, thinking about his school

suspension.
Brother Cai and the others had all gone home, and the big base was empty
and devoid of people. Wei Xiao sat at the long table eating sandwiches and
drinking watermelon juice.
He’d told Bai Cai that he would ask the captain to accompany him home,
but when the time arrived, he found he couldn’t open his mouth to ask.
Forget it.
He would take care of this small thing on his own!
The captain was so busy, he couldn’t depend on him for everything.
Wei Xiao reflected on himself.
It was probably because he’d been too short of love when he was young
that he was so sticky when he fell in love now.
The captain was also particularly indulgent towards him, giving him many
chances to grow increasingly insatiable.
It couldn’t go on like this.
Wei Xiao felt that the reason why the captain would give up the solo
competition was completely because of him.
He’d shown too much eagerness, which was why the captain would give
him the spot from the quota.
The captain cared about him, and he also cared about the captain.
This wasn’t just something that was spoken verbally, it was also about
practical actions!
Wei Xiao decided that he’d deal with the school suspension on his own. In
the future, he had to keep himself in check and not give the captain any
additional burdens.
Wei Xiao found it boring to eat alone, so he casually scrolled through
Weibo.
Coincidentally, he’d just received a @ tag.
RR.Moonlit: @FTW.Quiet, come solo.
Wei Xiao tsked and replied, “You’re back?”
Moonlit: “Yeah.”
Wei Xiao: “Have a good rest and fix up your jet lag.”
Moonlit: “Solo.”
Wei Xiao’x heart was itchy, but he suppressed it, “No.”
Moonlit: “?”
Wei Xiao: “I won’t solo anymore in the future.”
Moonlit: “???”
Wei Xiao gritted his teeth, “I’ve given it up.”
Damn it, after saying these words, he could feel his heart, liver, and lungs
all twinging with pain.
He’d given it up, given up solo for the sake of love. Laozi was really a
patron saint for love!
Believe in them, muah.
xiin: the author says to believe in them~ everything will be okay!

Ch96 - This was the most willful
thing that Wei Xiao had ever done
in his life.
Wei Xiao’s previous interactions with Moonlit had always been through Bai
Cai. As the ‘grandmaster’, he’d just been responsible for playing.
Brother Cai would contact the players, then he would go, play, and earn
money when he was done. Their relationship was simple and clear––
Oh, this was Wei Xiao’s one-sided perspective. All the players that he’d
‘played’ with would always think of him and never forget him. They would
chase after Brother Cai, wanting to get his contact information.
Brother Cai would think about it for a while, then answer, “Trade secret.”
He couldn’t give it out. It wasn’t because he was worried that he wouldn’t

be able to make his commission as a middleman, but because he was afraid
that the grandmaster would end up surrounded and beaten up offline.
Brother Cai didn’t have many friends. If he lost this one, he wouldn’t have
another one to replace him with.
Later on, Wei Xiao’s identity was revealed, and the winter training camp
had started immediately afterwards.
Out of the entire China competition zone, only 3U and FTW were grouped
up together. Asleep had gotten Wei Xiao’s contact information a long time
ago, but the Moonlit who’d been assigned to Group B naturally didn’t have
it.
That was why Moonlit had gone through Weibo and shouted out to Wei
Xiao.
He’d originally thought that Wei Xiao would agree, but unexpectedly, he
was refused again and again.
Moonlit wasn’t very talkative, and his Weibo situation was comparable to
Asleep’s. The fans from both sides competed daily––
[ Did you see? My family’s Moon only said two words! ]
[ Tch, my Sleep only sent out a single letter! ]
The fans were even able to start up a battle over such a thing; it was
unknown which group of fans everyone should feel distressed for.
A player who was so ‘handicapped with words’ went on to say a long

segment of words to Wei Xiao, “Why aren’t you soloing anymore? Why
give it up?”
Two sentences, two question marks, it was enough for Moonlit fans to
celebrate like it was the New Year!
Wei Xiao wanted to answer without mincing his words, “Don’t ask, if you
ask, then it’s because I only want to solo with my boyfriend.”
Ah, unfortunately, he couldn’t say ‘boyfriend’!
Wei Xiao’s heart quivered. He forwarded Moonlit’s Weibo post.
His words were simple, direct, and to the point, cutting off his own path of
retreat. He didn’t want to solo with anyone!
In the future, he would become the captain’s exclusive ‘sandbag’, one that
could only be used by the captain.
[ FTW.Quiet: Solo, what solo? In the future, I’ll be focusing on the team
competition and won’t be soloing anymore. @RR.Moonlit ]
After sending out this Weibo message, Wei Xiao’s heart felt empty and
hollow.
Forget it, nobody could compare with his captain, even the Moonlit who’d
grown at the speed of light and won against God Xie couldn’t compare to a
single hair on his captain’s head!
Wei Xiao clearly didn’t know how to smoke, but he somehow still
experienced the feeling of quitting smoking.
It was hard; it made him want to scratch at his heart and lungs.
His Weibo post instantly drew a large amount of traffic and attention.
The winter training camp was over, and there was still a few days before the
regular season began. Everyone was idle and bored, and they were
immediately amused when they saw this post.
“What’s wrong with the grandmaster?”
“The man who’d hammered half of the Glory circle into exploding is now
trying to wash himself clean?”
“??? Is the grandmaster cowering?”
“If you’re afraid, just say it straight. Why use the team competition as an
excuse?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Quiet, what happened to your momentum and aura during the
live broadcast? Don’t cower.”
“My Moon God won against God Xie, what about you, Grandmaster? Oh,
you were hammered into seclusion by Daddy Hyun.”
“Backing down when faced with difficulties, not bad, Grandmaster.”
These remarks couldn’t shake Wei Xiao’s resolve.

It was all on the internet, and there were fans and haters. In any case, it was
just a matter of knocking out words on the keyboard, they could say
whatever they want to say, and whoever took it seriously would be the loser.
Wei Xiao wasn’t angry at all and leisurely sipped at his watermelon juice.
Then, a ‘question mark party’ began to appear on his Weibo.
First came 3U’s Asleep, “?”
Then came TPT’s Eurostar, “??”
Then came the new generation who hadn’t yet made a name for themselves,
BLUE and Xia Dan and the others, “???????”
Professional players all had their accounts certified on Weibo. As soon as

they showed up, the netizens who’d already been flustered all exploded into
noise again.
“F*ck, the grandmaster is really capable.”
“The white moonlight of Glory, locked in.”
“About that… is soloing with him so amazing? Why are they all unable to
stop thinking about it.”
“Previous poster, how do you feel when you lose mahjong?”
“Of course I would want to win it back!”
“So…”
Indeed, this was how much the players couldn’t forget about the
grandmaster, it was really like playing mahjong.
If they lost a game, then they had to win it back!
Dispersing after losing a game, how could they not feel anxious?
Wei Xiao had already said everything that should be said, and he’d already
started giving up on the things that needed to be given up on. He simply
exited out of Weibo.
He finished the watermelon juice in one go, then decided that he should go
and get his official business dealt with.
Go home, see Wei Quan, and finish the school suspension process.
Perhaps the conversation he’d had with Lu Feng last night had stimulated
Wei Xiao, because he didn’t feel so much resistance towards going home
anymore.
Sure enough, all sorts of feelings would arise from being indulged by
someone else. It was just going home, what was so hard about it?
Wei Xiao wasn’t polite as he mentally disdained himself: It was still the
captain that was too good to him, causing him to become so delicate and
finicky.
Wei Xiao thought about Lu Feng on the way back home. Thinking about
him filled his heart with warmth, and even the cold feeling that rose up
from his fear of going home gradually faded away.
When he arrived at the door to the house, Wei Xiao rang the doorbell.
Li Su was the one to open the door. She was stunned when she saw Wei
Xiao, “Little Xiao!”
Wei Xiao called out a polite greeting, “Mom.”
This should be the most familiar, closest, and warmest form of address, but
it was instead as cold as addressing a stranger.
Li Su was pleasantly surprised, but she was also somewhat at a loss,

“You’re back, um, did you eat yet? I…”
Wei Xiao got straight to the point, “I’ve eaten. I came back because there’s
something I need to ask you for help with.”
Polite, formulaic, and undisguised alienation.
Li Su’s expression dimmed, “What’s the matter? Your father’s gone to work
and hasn’t come back yet.”
The word ‘work’ sounded particularly harsh in Wei Xiao’s ears.
Before he turned 17, he’d dreamed that his parents would live a normal life
and work from nine to five like other people’s parents.
But… they hadn’t seen his parents all year around.
Now, when he was already thoroughly disappointed, Wei Quan had started
going to work.
How ironic.
Wei Xiao closed his eyes briefly, then quickly pulled out the document,
“I’m applying for a school suspension. It requires a parent’s signature.”
Li Su was stunned. She could read and could understand what was on the
document, but it was such a big matter, “How about waiting for your father
to come back and have him…”
Wei Xiao didn’t make a sound, his pair of black eyes looking at her silently.
Li Su’s heart clenched and she quickly said, “I… I’ll do it.”
After signing the document, Wei Xiao dropped his gaze, “I’m leaving.”
Li Su’s mouth opened, her eyes filled with appeal, but she couldn’t say
anything.
Wei Xiao didn’t look at her again.
When the door closed, Li Su sat down abruptly, covering her eyes with her
hands, “I’m sorry, I”m really sorry.”
FTW Base, fifth floor.
The midday sun shone brightly outside the window, sprinkling over the
carpet like a layer of dazzling gold.
The room was bright, but the atmosphere inside was heavy and depressing.
Chen Feng’s left hand tapped lightly on the sofa, his eyebrows drawn
tightly together, “You want to have Wei Xiao sign up for the singles
competition?”
There was a single person sofa on the other side of the black-brown coffee
table.
Lu Feng looked as tall and long-legged as usual as he sat on the sofa. His
clean shaven face held a calm and steadiness that was inconsistent with his
age, “Yes.”
A ray of sunlight just happened to fall on his shoulder, outlining the fit lines
of his body that the dark shirt couldn’t hide.
Chen Feng was very worried, “I acknowledge Wei Xiao’s ability, but he
really lacks experience.”
Lu Feng replied calmly, “Experience is accumulated constantly over time.”
Chen Feng: “That’s the theory, but he just joined the team this year, and you
want him to play in the team competition, the singles competition, and the
doubles competition. Can he hold up?”
Lu Feng paused, “The doubles competition can be optional.”
Chen Feng did have some ideas in mind. He said, “I suggest that you still
take part in the singles competition. If Wei Xiao has excess capacity, he can
sign up for the doubles competition with Bai Cai.”
This was the most secure solution for the current FTW.
There was no need to mention the team competition, where FTW wanted to
be first even in their dreams.
As long as Close took part in the singles competition, the singles

championship was stable.
As for the doubles competition, the players could sign up and give it a try if
they were interested. It would be a pretty good experience for them.
However, the proposal that Lu Feng had given today had completely
overturned Chen Feng’s plan––
Have Wei Xiao participate in the singles competition?
Wasn’t this the same as giving up the global singles competition?
Why!
Chen Feng sighed softly and asked Lu Feng, “Have you asked Wei Xiao
about what he wants?”
Lu Feng’s gaze dropped slightly. Staring at the thoroughly cold cup of white
tea on the coffee table.
Chen Feng had followed him for so many years. How could he not
understand? “He doesn’t agree, right?!”
He just knew it!
Little Lunatic Wei might be crazy obsessed with solo, but even a matter as
big as the sky couldn’t compare to Close.
If Lu Feng gave him his spot in the singles competition, he definitely

wouldn’t accept it.
To tell the truth, Chen Feng himself couldn’t accept it.
This year was too different.

Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun had both signed up for the singles
competition, and it was rumored that Xie He also planned to participate.
The Team of Gods had gathered together, but Close was giving it up. What
was this!
Was the Close who’d won the championship for three years afraid?
Would Close, who’d held up the collapsing building all by himself, shrink
back?
After waiting for such a long time, they’d finally ushered in the opportunity
to determine the world’s number one player, but he was running away!
If Close wasn’t in this year’s singles competition, how could FTW come to
terms with it?
It wasn’t just the present FTW, but also the past FTW.
Not only the FTW players, but also the FTW fans.
So many people, so many hearts, such heavy expectations. Other than

Close, who else could live up to it?!
“That’s it.” Lu Feng ended the topic, speaking in a tone that didn’t invite
any questions. He leaned back in his chair, avoiding the sunshine, and his
manner was even heavier than before, “I’ll talk with Wei Xiao.”
Lu Feng was calm, “He’ll agree.”
He couldn’t tell everyone, but he would tell Wei Xiao.
The things that he couldn’t let anyone else know, he had to let Wei Xiao
know.
No matter how hard it was to speak up, he still had to say it.
Fortunately, there was still time.
He could take things slowly.
Chen Feng sighed again, then stood up and went out.
Lu Feng sat alone in the huge office, his dark eyes staring at the ceiling.
He knew about all the unfinished words that Chen Feng wanted to say,
but––
He was the one who least wanted to give up.
He was the one who least wanted to disappoint everyone.
He was also the one who was the most afraid of making Wei Xiao cry.
After Wei Xiao got into the taxi, the breath that seemed stuck in his chest
reluctantly loosened up somewhat.
The document was signed, and all that was left was to go to the school and
go through the procedures.
These things would have to wait until the work week started again, so it
would be the day after tomorrow before they could be processed.
The hardest part was over, and the rest was very simple.
Wei Xiao leaned back in the back seat of the car. He really missed the
captain.
He missed him particularly and wanted to see him right now.
Wei Xiao took out his cell phone, and his slender fingers stopped just before
they landed on the surface of his phone…
“Be a little more promising!”
Wei Xiao scolded himself, then exited out of the call interface.
Ding––
The cell phone he’d tossed onto the back seat rang.
Wei Xiao picked up the cell phone and saw the message he’d received.
Lu Feng: “You went out?”
It was a simple three words, but the high wall that Wei Xiao had forcibly
erected disintegrated, “Captain…”
Lu Feng called him.
Wei Xiao immediately connected the call. Lu Feng’s voice seemed to carry
an electric current that went through the microphone and poked straight at
his heart, “What’s the matter?”
Wei Xiao was silent.
Lu Feng sat up straight, “You went home?”
The mood that Wei Xiao had propped up collapsed into a mess, “Yeah.”
Lu Feng’s voice that had always been calm now held a trace of anxiousness,
“Why didn’t you wait for me?”
Wei Xiao’s voice trembled, “Captain…”
He didn’t say anything, didn’t mention a single word, only called out
‘captain’, and only uttered a single ‘yeah’, but the Lu Feng who was dozens
of miles away understood.
He knew that he’d gone home, knew that he was miserable, knew that he
wanted to cry.
Lu Feng had already gone downstairs, “Send me your location.”
Wei Xiao: “I’m in a taxi.”

Lu Feng: “Location.”
Wei Xiao: “I’ll be at the base soon.”
Lu Feng: “Be obedient.”
These two words were very gentle, like a bonfire in the ice and snow, so
warm that it made the tip of his nose grow sour.
Wei Xiao sent him his location.
This was the most willful thing that Wei Xiao had ever done in his life.
It was just a little more than an hour’s drive, and it was just a few tens of
kilometers, and he was even already on a taxi on the way back…
But he’d been willful and had sent his position to Lu Feng.
Wei Xiao suddenly recalled a memory from his childhood.
At the time, he’d only been five years old and had only just learned to make
phone calls. He’d dialed the number he’d memorized in his heart and heard
his mother’s voice, “Be good, Little Xiao, when the new year comes, father
and mother will come back and pick you up.”
Wei Xiao was really looking forward to it; he was looking forward to it so
much to the point where he was counting on his fingers as he waited every
day.
Waiting for his father to come back, waiting for his mother to come back,
waiting for his family to celebrate the new year together.
However, they’d put up the new year couplets, hung up the lanterns, and
released the firecrackers, but his parents still hadn’t come back.
From then on, Wei Xiao never thought of having someone come pick him
up.
Now…
Lu Feng came to pick him up, and he’d compressed an hour’s journey into
20 minutes, shortening a road that spanned dozens of kilometers by two
thirds.
Just to get to him early.
Let’s give some brief spoilers!
1 – He’ll definitely tell Wei Xiao, but Captain Lu’s personality isn’t the type
where he can say it as soon as he opens his mouth, and he needs to take it
slowly.
2 – Close won’t have any lasting regrets, I’m his genuine mother [crazy
hinting]
xiin: *cuddles them both*

Ch97 - Physiotherapist
Through location sharing, when the two people were about to meet, Wei
Xiao called for the taxi driver to stop.
The weather was still cold in February. Wei Xiao wasn’t wearing much, and
when he got out of the car, he took in a breath of the cold air and shivered.
There was a silver-gray Rolls Royce Cullinan stopped on the narrow

provincial highway up ahead.
The Rolls Royce SUV had rigid lines, a long body, and a high roof.
Ordinary people would seem dwarfed when they stood beside it, but for Lu
Feng, it was just right.
He was wearing a dark brown trench coat with a black turtleneck sweater
inside. His hands were slender, a pale white outside his sleeves, and he held
a black cell phone between his fingers.
The colors were cold, his face was unsmiling, and he seemed to be three
points icier than the winter around him.
However, when he cast gaze in Wei Xiao’s direction, Wei Xiao felt like he
was instantly surrounded by a melting warmth.
The warmth collided with the cold air stuck in his chest, causing it to
evaporate into water vapor that went straight into his eye sockets.
Wei Xiao didn’t have any attention left to spare on the fact that they were
on the side of the road. He ignored the traffic, took advantage of the
Cullinan’s height, and hugged Lu Feng, “Captain…”
Lu Feng’s voice was very low, “Yes.”

Wei Xiao buried his face against his neck, the emotions in his heart so
intense that he could only form five words, “I want to kiss you.”
It was okay when he hadn’t said that, but once he said it, the sweetness and
sourness in Wei Xiao’s chest couldn’t be suppressed any more.
He wanted to hold him tight, lean against him, kiss him, and he wanted to
hug him like this forever.
Acting spoiled was addictive, especially when there was someone indulging
him like this.
Wei Xiao stealthily touched the skin beneath Lu Feng’s collar. It couldn’t be
considered a kiss; it was just sticking his cool lips against Lu Feng’s warm
neck.
Lu Feng inhaled lightly, “Little Xiao.”
Wei Xiao refused to let him go, “Nobody will see.”
He didn’t dare to kiss, but it was too hard to do nothing at all.
The hand that Lu Feng had wrapped around his waist loosened, and he
pulled the rear door open slightly.
Wei Xiao heard it, “Wait a bit.” He’d hug a little more.
Who could’ve known that Lu Feng’s left hand would exert force, pushing
him into the back seat?
The interior of the car was very spacious, especially the back seat that could
almost be called a bed.
Wei Xiao didn’t sit down inside; he was toppled inside. He leaned directly
against the right side door and window, “Eh…”
Lu Feng inserted one knee between his legs and kissed him on the lips.
Wei Xiao: “!”
The back doors were closed, and the windows tinted. Now, nobody could
see them.
In the warm space in the interior of the car, there were only warm and eager
kisses.
No matter how spacious the car was, there were still two people squeezed
together in the back seat.
However, that didn’t matter. The closer they were, the better. It would be
best if there was no distance between them at all.
After the car started on the road, Wei Xiao sat in the front passenger’s seat
and tidied up his clothes.
“Captain…” He took advantage of how Lu Feng was driving and turned off
the filter on his mouth again, “You scared me just now.”
Lu Feng’s slender fingers held the steering wheel, and he looked straight
ahead.
Wei Xiao glanced at him secretly and lamented, “I thought you were going
to do me in the car.”
The emergency braking made Wei Xiao cry out. Fortunately, he’d secured
his seatbelt properly.
Lu Feng stopped the car by the side of the road and looked at him, “Do you
want to go back to the base?”
Wei Xiao’s eyes bent, “No.”

Wei Xiao sneakily hooked his fingers around the ones that were wrapped
around the gear stick, “I want to go home.”
He accentuated his tone, biting down on the word ‘home’.
He didn’t want to go back to the base, he wanted to go home.
This home was their home, it was FTW.
Lu Feng couldn’t hold back in the face of his seriousness. He flipped his
hand to intertwine his fingers with Wei Xiao’s disobedient ones.
Wei Xiao’s lips curved in a smile.
After returning to the base, Wei Xiao handed off the signed materials to
Xiang Liu.
After that, he still needed to make a trip to the school, and then his school
suspension would be settled.
Wei Xiao felt a sense of relief.
He’d dealt with everything that needed to be dealt with, and all that was left
was to concentrate on the upcoming fights.
The regular season, the playoffs, the domestic finals, and even the global
games.
In this year’s Glory competition, Wei Xiao must make sure that FTW was
engraved on the championship trophy!
Holidays always felt short. Three days seemed to pass by in the blink of an
eye.
Except for making a trip out to his university, Wei Xiao never set foot
outside of the base again.
When Lu Feng was busy with his work, he would rank on his own. When
Lu Feng came downstairs, he would cling to Lu Feng and double queue.
Occasionally, when his heart was itchy, he would play a few rounds of solo
with his captain, but he made sure not to play too much.
The sweet and cloying world for two was broken apart when Brother Cai
pushed open the door.
Wei Xiao had never disliked this vegetable stalk as much as he did now,
“Why did you come back so early!”
He’d never seen him go back to school so actively when they were
studying.
Bai Cai was startled, “Laozi loves the club and wanted to come back to the
team early. It’s enough that you’re not praising me, but you’re even
disdaining me?”
Sorry, but Wei Xiao had already fallen in love with the empty club.
How great was it to have nobody else around? He and the captain could kiss
wherever they want. Now… they had to hide and sneak around.
Well, hiding and sneaking around was also quite exciting.
Wei Xiao helped Brother Cai carry one of his bags, “Did you put stones in
this?” Why was it so heavy!
Bai Cai rolled his eyes, “It’s for you.”
Wei Xiao: “???”
Brother Cai: “If you don’t want it, then forget it.”
Wei Xiao pulled open the zipper and saw several green and glistening ‘dark
beauties’. “Damn, Brother Cai, you’re pretty good.”
Bai Cai said reservedly, “I just saw them by the roadside and casually
bought a few.”
This beast could’ve chosen to like eating anything, yet he loved eating
watermelon. This kind of thing wasn’t expensive, but it was really heavy.
God knew how he’d carried these three watermelons back from his
hometown.
Wei Xiao saw through him, “These were produced near your area, right?”
Wei Xiao’s heart was happy, “Thank you, God Bai, I’m going to send out a
Weibo post and show some love.”
Brother Vegetable: “…………”
He’d always felt that something wasn’t right… oh, he knew what it was!
He quickly called out, “Like hell you’re going to show some love, Laozi
doesn’t love you!”
Wei Xiao: “Mm-hmm. You don’t, you don’t. You just love me very much.”
He’d seen people who were shameless before, but he’d never seen someone
this shameless.
He was so tired he wanted to die. He started unpacking even as he went

upstairs, and half an hour had already passed by the time he was done.
Brother Cai looked around at his clean and tidy bedroom, and his heart felt
very comfortable.
Great!
Bai Cai lay down on the bed, wanting to take a nap, and then…
He abruptly opened his eyes, inexplicably recalling the captain’s chilly gaze
from earlier.
The alarm on Brother Cai’s radar went off, and he rushed to Wei Xiao’s
bedroom, “Don’t f*cking send out random Weibo posts!”
Wei Xiao wasn’t in his room.
Brother Cai was flustered. Brat, don’t pull aggro onto Laozi.
If you f*cking show love with me, won’t the captain get jealous?!
If the captain got jealous, would he be expelled and evicted?!
Brother Cai was really worthy of being the Gossip Emperor’s true body. His
ability to make such things up in his head was equivalent to ten other
people’s put together.
Bai Cai couldn’t find Wei Xiao and could only click open his Weibo to see
what Wei Xiao had sent out.
Don’t have posted it, please don’t have posted it, Beast Wei, please act like
a human!
And then…
Bai Cai saw the post. The corners of his lips twitched, and his eyes were
almost blinded.
Wei Xiao had indeed sent out a Weibo, and it had been sent out just one
minute ago.
It was indeed a show of love, and it was also related to watermelons, and
Brother Cai’s name also appeared.
However!
FTW.Quiet: The watermelon that Brother Cai brought back is really sweet,
isn’t it, captain? @FTW.Close.
Below that was an accompanying photo. There was nobody in the photo,
just a slender hand with distinct finger bones and pale skin. It was lightly
and skillfully holding a silver fork, like a work of art.
There was a piece of red watermelon on the silver fork. The juices were
very clear, and it was obviously filled with sweetness.
There was nobody in the photo, but this positioning was like the fork was
feeding someone a bite of watermelon.
Combined with the Weibo text content…
Brother Cai threw aside his cell phone and was very zen: He had been the
fool for worrying blindly.
There had been a show of love, the watermelon had been eaten, and Brother
Cai’s name was on Weibo.
But, he was just a foil!
Wei Xiao was clearly showing love with the captain!
The first comment beneath the Weibo post was from Close. It was a simple
message with just a single word, “Sweet.”
There were always some people who didn’t speak much and treated words
like gold, but had the power to blow up the entire internet with a single
word.
––Close sweet.
A new hot search term rose up at the speed of light just like this.
Wei Xiao was delighted as he ate the watermelon, “Brother Liu, badass, you
took an amazing photo.”
Xiang Liu: “……” I don’t want to be this badass!
The hand was Close’s, and the person being fed was Wei Xiao.
Xiang Liu had taken photos of the entire process. Neither of them were in
the camera, but this ‘business demon’ had a very good understanding on
exactly how to handle it.
A panoramic shot showing their gazes was too much, so they could only
look at each other secretly, and the screenshot they sent out after editing
was very magical.
Wei Xiao couldn’t stop looking at it, “Captain, your hand is too good
looking!”
Lu Feng was helping him remove watermelon seeds, “Don’t eat too much,
it’s cold.”
Wei Xiao nodded repeatedly, “Three more pieces!”
Lu Feng: “Two pieces.”
Wei Xiao: “Then, I’ll just eat one piece.”
Wei Xiao finished his words, “Feed me.”
Xiang Liu: “………………………………”
He shouldn’t be here, he should be beneath the table!
Lu Feng wasn’t hiding anything from Xiang Liu, but he also wouldn’t do
anything to Wei Xiao in front of him, “Don’t eat any, then.”
He’d been too bratty. Now, there was no watermelon, and no kisses!
At this time, Xiang Liu’s cell phone rang. It seemed to be a WeChat

message.
After he looked at it, he spoke to Lu Feng, “Doctor Chen is here.”

Lu Feng set down the silver fork and answered, “Okay.”
Wei Xiao heard this and asked curiously, “Doctor Chen?”
Xiang Liu explained, “Our team’s physiotherapist. You haven’t met her
before, right?”
Wei Xiao got it, “Ohhhh!”
In the e-sports circle where occupational diseases were rampant, basically

every club had physiotherapists and psychological counsellors.
A team like FTW that was rich and loved its players naturally had them too.
Before, in the winter training camp, they hadn’t accompanied the team
because it was only a 15 day trip. Now that the domestic competition was
about to start, the behind the scenes logistics team was fully in place.
Wei Xiao was very curious, “Does physiotherapy hurt?”
He snuck a peak at Lu Feng, his heart beating like a drum.
He didn’t know if it hurt. He’d never had it done before, but he’d seen it
being done.
Before, Lu Feng would avoid everyone when he had to do physiotherapy,

and Xiang Liu was the only insider who knew the situation.
Lu Feng never made a sound, and his breathing was steady and stable. It
was only when the physiotherapy was over that his pale face and the sweat
on his forehead would expose his pain.
An injury was being pressed and kneaded; it would be a lie to say that it
wasn’t painful.
When it came to rehabilitation physiotherapy, how could it have an effect if

it wasn’t painful?
Lu Feng stood up and pinched Wei Xiao’s wrist joint with his fingers.
Wei Xiao made a muffled grunt, “Itchy.”
He was itchy all over; when Lu Feng touched him, everywhere he touched
would itch.
Lu Feng exerted a little force, pressing the pad of his finger into one of his
acupoints, “Does it hurt?”
A numb, tingling feeling spread through his entire forearm. Wei Xiao shook
his head, “It doesn’t hurt at all.” It felt quite comfortable.
Lu Feng released him, “Don’t worry, preventative physical therapy doesn’t

hurt.”
Wei Xiao rubbed his own wrist lightly, “Captain, you’re so amazing, you
even know how to do this.”
Wei Xiao felt that he couldn’t fall behind. He thought to himself: Wait until
I learn it properly! I’ll give the captain a full body massage!
Wei Xiao was the active type.
That afternoon, when the whole team was doing preventative

physiotherapy, Wei Xiao modestly asked for advice.
Doctor Chen was a middle-aged woman, and she was very fond of such a
handsome young man who had a sweet mouth and good laugh, and
answered anything she was asked.
Little Xiao, it’s better if you don’t learn. I’m afraid your captain won’t be
able to stand it. […]
xiin: *sipping on watermelon juice*

Ch98 - A little bit closer.
Wei Xiao’s brain was very good, and he remembered things very quickly.
As he was having his wrist, shoulder, and spine massaged, he’d really
memorized many things.
Doctor Chen praised him, “Really smart.”
Wei Xiao’s lips curved in a smile, “It’s because you teach well.”
Doctor Chen became even more attentive when she spoke with him.
The Brother Cai who was to the side was dumbfounded. He thought to
himself that Wei Xiao was really able to take down men, women, the
young, and the old; was there anyone he couldn’t coax?!
He asked Wei Xiao, “What are you learning this for?”
Wei Xiao: “Learning more never hurts.”
Brother Cai: “Do you even want to be a physiotherapist after you retire?”
Wei Xiao thought about it, “It’s not impossible…”
Thinking about being a physiotherapist for his boyfriend was quite exciting,
what should he do?!
Brother Cai rolled his eyes, “You really have a wide range of interests.”
Teaching and educating people, hammering people in e-sports, providing

physical therapy…
Brother Xiao was a real character, he really didn’t act like a human.
The end of the holiday and the team physiotherapy – all of this heralded the
start of the competition season.
With the intensive development of training competitions, the sleepless

nights that belonged to internet addicted youths had officially begun.
The training plan that Chen Feng gave to the players was actually quite
scientific.
They were to gather in the training room at 10:30AM to collect their

individualized tasks for the day that needed to be completed in their free
time.
Training matches began at 1PM. Depending on the arrangements, they

might run until until 7PM.
After 7PM was the time when their coach would go over the game replays.
The specific duration would depend on the level of the players’ mistakes
and Coach Chen’s mood.
If he was in a bad mood, it would be three hours. If he was in a good mood,

it would be two hours and 59 minutes.
Yes, this was what e-sports was like. They had to ‘race against the clock’.
Then came their ‘free time’, where the players also had to complete their
live broadcast quota for the month.
FTW treated them quite well. The minimum time for live broadcast was 18
hours. If they were short on money, they could broadcast for longer (with a
higher profit percentage), but they couldn’t exceed 30 hours a month.
Although it was ‘free time’, Chen Feng, as a top coach in China, had his
own set of methods.
He would make a personal training plan for each of the starters every day.
They were all different, targeted for the player, and extremely systematic.
Back then, Yue Wenle had just been brought into the team by Bai Cai. Other
than his recklessness, everything else could be considered shortcomings.
Chen Feng had only trained him up for a month, but God Le was now able
to make rapid progress. His frost hunter had now won a position in the ban
spots of the BP link for the domestic competitions.
Wei Xiao was very eager to give it a try and was very much looking
forward to Chen Feng’s private, individualized training plan.
Until he got his first training plan on the first day.
Chen Feng: “What?”
Wei Xiao waved the A4 piece of paper in his hand, “Just this?”
Chen Feng: “Just that.”
Wei Xiao’s personal training plan was simple and clear. It could basically
be divided into the following three items––
First, double queue with Bai Cai.
Second, double queue with Yue Wenle.
Third, double queue with Ning Zhehan.
Wei Xiao was incredulous, “What about the captain!”
How come he had to double queue with everyone else, but the captain
wasn’t included!
Chen Feng squinted at him, “Do you still need me to make arrangements
for you to double queue with Close?”
As someone who wished that they could stick to the captain and never
sleep, was it still necessary to write it into the plan? Typing was very tiring,
okay?
Wei Xiao looked at Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle’s meticulous, densely
packed personal training plans and was very unconvinced, “Coach, I feel
that you’re just being perfunctory with me.”
Chen Feng’s face was cold, “Hand it over.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up, “Exactly, hey, this plan is too rough, it should still
have…”
As he spoke, he watched as Chen Feng added a line of text in handwriting

that looked like a line of dogs crawling over the paper, its ugliness on the
same level as as Coach Chen’s devil poster––
Fourth, double queue time with Close should not exceed two hours.
He suspected that the coach was targeting him, and he even had enough
evidence to support it!
Objectively speaking, Wei Xiao’s individual training plan was something

that the entire coaching team had pondered over.
This kid…
He was too good.
Throughout the winter training, he’d played in many games, including

games against global strong teams.
Every game, every segment, at every point in time, he’d done the best that
he could.
It was actually quite a scary thing.

In a match that lasted 40 to 50 minutes, it was normal for players to make
mistakes, and it was more incredible to not make any mistakes at all.
However, Wei Xiao really was such a player.
His rhythm, speed, and efficiency in the jungle were all very high;
His gank consciousness, judgement, and timing were all extremely

accurate;
His personal operations were also at an extremely high level. He could

always play out the ultimate damage with his existing farm…
If a problem really had to be pointed out, then Wei Xiao had exposed some
shortcomings during the games against Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun.
However, these shortcomings.
Even Chen Feng, who was good at training and planning, couldn’t make up
for these shortcomings through just personal training.
These shortcomings could only be constantly tried and corrected during

competitions and through continuous understanding. There were no
shortcuts there.
In the end, the coaching team’s advice was––
Avoid making Quiet into the next Close.
The team had to grow together.
What Wei Xiao needed to do the most was to cultivate tacit understanding
with his teammates.
And his teammates would also be able to get used to his rhythm through
playing double queue games with him.
As FTW’s new jungler, Wei Xiao had the ability to control the rhythm of
the game, and his teammates also should have the ability to keep up with
his rhythm.
Days that were busy and packed always passed quickly.
It seemed that in the blink of an eye, there was only two or three days
before the opening of the regular season.
After eight days of open-hearted study, Wei Xiao felt that he’d gained a
sense for massage and therapy.
Doctor Chen was massaging his wrist, “… The theory is there, but the
technique still needs practice.”
Bai Cai, who was to the side, rolled his eyes: Beast Wei is really capable, he
even managed to fool Doctor Chen into accepting him as an ‘external
disciple’.
It was likely that Ms. Chen herself didn’t understand how she’d started
teaching a promising e-sports player how to massage!
These words moved Wei Xiao, “Yeah, I need to practice.”
Brother Cai tilted his head to look at him, “Sir Xiao, you can do as you like,
but don’t try to practice on me.”
Wei Xiao looked at his thin arms and legs with disdain, “Dream on!”
If he was going to practice, he’d look for the captain.
The captain’s wrists, forearms, shoulders, spine, chest, abdomen…
Couch, cough, he’d gotten a little distracted. Massages probably didn’t

include the chest and abdomen, right?
FTW’s group training generally stopped at around 11 o’clock and the rest of
their time was free time, but Chen Feng would come to the training room
after 2AM.
Sleeping too late wasn’t conducive to long-term development.

These days, Wei Xiao followed Lu Feng’s rest schedule.
When the captain left the training room, he would follow at his heels.
It was too pitiful not to get at least a good night’s kiss after working hard
for a whole day.
Wei Little Xiao couldn’t stand this level of grievance!
In the evening, Wei Xiao and Lu Feng took Brother Cai along to triple
queue. After finishing a game, it just happened to be 10:30PM.
Brother Cai was the room master. He asked these two daddies, “Another
round?”
This point in time was a little awkward. It was a little too early for the
captain to go to sleep, but if they ignored the time and started another game,
it would go past his usual bedtime.
Lu Feng was just about to speak up when Wei Xiao quickly withdrew from
the room, “Not playing anymore!”
He was afraid that he might be having auditory hallucinations.
Lu Feng looked at him, “Tired?”
Wei Xiao licked the corner of his lip, “Yeah.” His tone fluttered at the end
of this word.
Wei Xiao picked up his cell phone and got up, leaving the training room
first, “See you tomorrow, Brother Cai.”
Bai Cai waved his hands and buried his head to send out a Weibo message,
“Lonely vegetable support, online requesting a jungler king.”
His fans had fun in the comments, “Brother Cai has been abandoned
again!”
“If it comes to bitterness, it’s still our Vegetable that’s bitter. There are two
jungler kings in his team, but he has to go outside to find a ‘jungle’ king.
This pun was very magical.
“I’m a little curious, why did the two jungler kings leave early?”
“Click into the Gossip Emperor’s Weibo and take a look at FTW’s double
jungler CP short article.”
“Holy shit, fellow sisters, you guys really dare to think about Close and
Quiet, playing together in the canyon, then going to bed to continue fighting
in bed?”
“It’s hard to say, maybe they act calm in the training room when they
double queue, but French kiss outside the training room.”
“Here’s a pen, previous poster, quickly go and write a book!”
Bai Cai was really able to get a jungler king.
RR’s Captain Mo sent over a team application, and Brother Cai could smell
the scent of money!
Money: “Where’s Quiet?”
Bai Cai: “He went to sleep.”
Money: “So early?”
Bai Cai was alert, “Captain Mo, are you here to take me to rank, or are you
digging for information?”
Money laughed loudly, “I’m here to give you guys money.”

When he heard the word ‘money’, Brother Cai’s ears perked up, “Captain
Mo is so generous.”
The car was still on its way, yet he was sending more money over?
Money spoke thoughtfully, “It’s like this…”
As soon as Brother Cai heard this, “……”
F*ck, he really was sending money over?!
He suspected that the base next door was actually built with RMB!
Money: “Do you think it can be done?”
Brother Cai patted his chest, “It’s not a big problem!”
It had to be said that when one had more fans, there would always be one or
two emperors of the truth mixed in amongst the fans.
The two people who were well-behaved and proper when they were in the
training room, really acted differently outside…
Wei Xiao pulled Lu Feng towards a corner of the corridor.
Lu Feng held his wrist, “Back to the room.”
Wei Xiao stared at him, “I can’t wait.”
There wasn’t much that Wei Xiao wouldn’t dare to say, “I’ve been thinking
about it all night, and I don’t want to wait even one sec… mm…”
His unspoken words, and even his slight moan were stuck between his lips
and teeth.
They’d been together all night, but let alone kissing, they hadn’t even
touched hands.
Wei Xiao’s tolerance had already been pushed to the extremes at this point!
Wei Xiao always spent a lot of time in Lu Feng’s room every night, asking
for kisses here, asking for kisses there; if he saw Lu Feng working, he
wanted a kiss, before sleeping, he needed to be coaxed over and over before
he was willing to go back.
Lu Feng also indulged him, letting him do whatever he wanted and leaving
Wei Xiao satisfied every time, but it still wasn’t enough.
In the matter of whetting people’s appetite, nobody could match the great
demon king.
Today, Wei Xiao had come prepared. As soon as they entered the room, he
asked, “Captain, do you have work to do tonight?”
Lu Feng looked into his bright eyes, “No.” Even if he had work to do, he
didn’t anymore.
Wei Xiao said excitedly, “Then, go and wash up quickly!”
Lu Feng dropped his eyes to half mast and looked at him, “Are you going
back to sleep?”
Wei Xiao deliberately avoided answering him directly, “Not sleeping yet. In
short, go and wash up first.”
Lu Feng inhaled lightly, “Little Xiao…”
Wei Xiao pushed him into the bathroom, “Quickly, it’s almost 12 o’clock.
I’ll wait for you.”
The captain’s biological clock was very accurate. He could sleep as soon as
the time came.
Lu Feng hesitated for a moment, but didn’t say much else, “Okay.”
Wei Xiao’s thoughts completely hadn’t caught up with his captain’s adult
thoughts yet. He started thinking about how to use Doctor Chen’s
physiotherapy techniques.
It wasn’t a problem, and it would definitely make the captain happy!
Wei Xiao was full of confidence.
It didn’t take long for Lu Feng to come back out.
The bathroom was full of steam. Lu Feng only wore a loosely draped
bathrobe, revealing a large expanse of skin on his chest. His slender neck
was connected to his perfect jawline, and water drops rolled down from his
cheek to drip onto his collarbone.
After getting used to seeing an icy cold captain, why was this lazy and sexy
captain so…
Lu Feng looked at him, “Do you want to wash up?”
Wei Xiao’s face flushed red, “I’ll wash when I go back.”
He was done for. The captain’s voice was deadly.
Lu Feng’s voice held traces of a smile, “Do you want to go to sleep?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng came close, and the faint fragrance around his body was
accompanied by a strong sense of oppression, making Wei Xiao a little
dizzy.
In fact, Lu Feng didn’t do anything. He just looked at him quietly, his gaze
moving from his smooth forehead to his trembling eyelashes, to his pale
lips.
However, Wei Xiao felt as though he’d just been scalded, his entire body
left tingling and numb.
“Captain…” Wei Xiao called out to him lightly.
Lu Feng: “Mm?”
Wei Xiao’s brain felt feverish, “Let’s do it.”
Lu Feng’s eyes darkened, and he continued to look at him from such a close
distance, “Do what?”
Wei Xiao’s mouth was dry. He licked his lower lip, “Make love.”
As soon as the words came out, Lu Feng pressed the back of his head and
kissed his lips.
His gaze from before seemed like the calm before the storm. In the moment
when their lips came into contact, the rainstorm hit, and there was no longer
any trace of the previous calm and self control.
Lu Feng kissed his beautiful forehead, his trembling eyes, high nose, as
well as his beautiful jawline, his neck, his collarbone…
Wei Xiao’s eyes opened wide, his body arching. He couldn’t stand the
destruction from this level of stimulation, “Captain… captain…”
A jumble of whispered calls, stickier and more clingy than usual, like a
coquettish little cat.
Lu Feng waited for him to come back to his senses, then kissed the tip of
his delicate nose, “Go to sleep early.”
Wei Xiao’s unfocused eyes slowly focused. He looked at Lu Feng, his body
still soft, “This….”
Lu Feng, who was forcefully enduring it, couldn’t quite bear to hear his
voice now.
But Wei Xiao always liked to make trouble, “This really felt too good!”
xiin: yes, what you think happened… just happened. also, i officially ship
Money & Bai Cai. they are just too perfect – the guy who loves money,
with the guy whose name is Money~~
Ch99 - Who can compare with the
captain?!
Chapter 99
He wasn’t a child anymore; it wasn’t as though Wei Xiao had never done it
to himself before.
But this was too different. The captain kissed him, and then that god-like
hand…
“!”
As soon as Wei Xiao thought about it, he felt like he’d been electrified.
Lu Feng was already at his limit. When he heard Wei Xiao’s words, he
almost…
In some senses, Wei Xiao really wasn’t a person. He’d gotten some on his
body, so he got up and said, “I’m going to wash up!”
It wouldn’t be good if he dirtied the captain’s sheets.
It wasn’t until the sound of water came from the bathroom that Lu Feng
took a deep breath and lay down on the silk quilt that still held traces of
extra heat.
It couldn’t be rushed.
There was no doubt that Wei Xiaoxiao didn’t even know what kinds of
things could be done between the two of them.
Lu Feng closed his eyes briefly.

Wei Xiao was very happy as he took a bath.
Heeey, it had felt really good, really exciting.
The captain’s hands were really beautiful. The bones were distinct, they
were clean, strong, and flexible.
Um……
Wei Xiao was now a little envious of his mouse and keyboard.
Thinking about it made his heart itch.
Wei Xiao washed up messily. He couldn’t wait to run back out.
When Lu Feng heard the sound of footsteps, he turned his head to take a
look, then turned his head back quickly.
This brat.
Wei Xiao had originally wanted to dress up properly after washing up, since
Lu Feng’s pajamas were still inside. However, after drying off, he thought
about how he’d be going to bed anyway, and there was no need to do so
much.
He jumped onto the bed and knelt there on the dark silk. The color contrast
carried a strong sense of visual stimulation.
“Captain!”
Lu Feng closed his eyes and didn’t see a thing.
Wei Xiao leaned in close to his ear, “Won’t you come?”
Lu Feng opened his eyes. A pair of dark eyes locked onto his.
Wei Xiao’s eyelashes fluttered, and he was as bold as the heavens, “Come
on, it’s great.”
Lu Feng inhaled lightly, his voice hoarse, “No need.”
He knew what Wei Xiao was talking about, but there was no need.
Wei Xiao learned very quickly. His hands were slender and beautiful, and
didn’t lose out to the world’s number one by much.
Lu Feng clasped his wrist.
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved as he smiled, calling out to him softly, “Captain.”
Lu Feng took another breath and kissed this person who wasn’t scared of
the heavens or the earth.
Wei Xiao was dazed from his kiss, but he still refused to leave.
Lu Feng no longer tried to stop him.
As the night wore on, the moon hung high outside, and Wei Xiao’s
aggrieved and pitiful voice drifted around the room.
Nobody answered him.
Wei Xiao’s voice was as sweet as cotton candy, sticky and soft.
Lu Feng: “.”
A long time later, Wei Xiao buried himself in the pillow, his voice stuffy,
“Captain, this also…”
Lu Feng breathed lightly and kissed him on the neck.
Wei Xiao’s voice trembled, “This isn’t fair, how come there’s such a big
time difference between us!”
Wei Xiao took two baths in one night.
Wei Xiao was very dissatisfied with this.

Why?
When he came, he took a bath.
When the captain was done, he still needed to take a bath!
Hadn’t he lost?!
Lu Feng: “Go back and sleep.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were incredulous, “Do I still have to go back to my room
to sleep?”
They were already together, yet they had to sleep in separate beds?
Lu Feng hadn’t been satisfied, but when he faced the Wei Xiaoxiao who
was as innocent as a white piece of paper, he really couldn’t bring himself
to do anything, “Go back.”
Wei Xiao acted shameless, “No, I want to sleep here.”
Lu Feng looked at him, “Isn’t your hand tired?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng: “Don’t your legs hurt?”
Ummm…
He got it.
Lu Feng rubbed his eyebrows, “It’s one o’clock.”
They’d been tossing about for so long. The sun would come up soon if they
didn’t go to sleep now.
Wei Xiao still didn’t want to leave. He gritted his teeth, “It’s okay, it might
be new at first, but now it’s familiar. If you still want…”
How could Lu Feng dare to let him stay? “Either go downstairs yourself, or
I’ll carry you down.”
Lu Feng looked at him calmly.
Seeing that the captain didn’t seem to be joking, Wei Xiao backed down,
“No need, no need! I’ll go down by myself.”
If he really carried him down, Wei Xiaoxiao would really lose his dignity!
After getting dressed and leaving his boyfriend’s room, Wei Xiao was filled
with a huge reluctance.
When Soybean saw that his dad was back, it pounced forward to hug him.
Wei Xiao disdained him, “Why is it that even though Laozi has a boyfriend,
I have to hug a single dog like you to sleep!”
Soybean rubbed its head against him.
Wei Xiao sighed, hugged it, and thought of his captain.
Ah, he and the captain…
Cough, cough, just thinking back on it a little made Wei Xiao blush all the
way to his ears again.
Wei Xiao really couldn’t sleep. He pushed Soybean aside and took out his
cell phone to send a message to Lu Feng, “Captain~”
After a while where nobody replied to him, Wei Xiao became even happier.
This was great, the captain had turned off his phone and gone to sleep. He
could continue chattering on by himself.
“I heard that it’ll feel a bit painful, but I think that wasn’t so bad.”
The Quiet who existed in the Gossip Emperor’s Weibo was too
unreasonable, why did he have to cry and whine?
The real Quiet wanted to tell them loudly, “It’s not that painful!”
It was just very tiring. Especially his hands; they were really sore.
Wei Xiao continued to send messages to Lu Feng, “I feel that it didn’t hurt,
it just felt a little…”
He deliberately started a new line of text and continued to poke out words,
“Too wonderful!”
Lu Feng, who had just come out of the bathroom, saw his cell phone light
up.
He picked it up and took a look––
The fire in his heart that hadn’t been easy to suppress flared up again.
“Wei Xiao……”
He typed out a whole paragraph, but reason made him delete it all. He
changed it to two words, “Good night.”
Wei Xiao was surprised, “I thought you’d already fallen asleep.”
Wei Xiao was afraid of making him tired, “Hurry and sleep, hurry and
sleep, I won’t disturb you anymore.”
After putting down his cell phone, Wei Xiao sat in the bed for a while.
Then, he poked out his head…
“Oh, right, I originally went upstairs to give the captain a massage.”

He’d spent so long memorizing Doctor Chen’s techniques, yet as a result…
Hey, in a sense, that could also be considered a type of massage!
When Wei Xiao woke up the next day, he felt like he was no longer an
ignorant person who knew nothing.
19 couldn’t be considered old, but it also wasn’t too young anymore.
He was now a real man!
Wei Xiao’s waist was a little straighter than usual today.
To be honest, Wei Xiao couldn’t really be blamed for this.
In the first 17 years of his life, he was fully focused on living a good life
with his grandmother.
Later on, he’d gotten to know Lu Feng. Other than solo and Glory, his heart
hadn’t been interested in anything else.
He understood things between men and women.
In high school, one would hear a lot about it even if they didn’t participate
in the discussion.
But between men…
Wei Xiao’s only channel to understand these things was through the Gossip
Emperor’s small articles on Weibo.
Brother Cai was a good young man who understood sustainable

development in a harmonious society.
His small articles were all carefully selected and thoroughly edited.
Old drivers had to open their eyes wide in order to understand what was
between the lines, let alone Wei Xiao, this kind of newbie who didn’t even
have a driver’s license.
This was like looking at flowers in a fog, viewing the moon on the water.
When it came to the specifics, it all depended on one’s understanding.
Obviously, Wei Xiao’s insight was all focused on the game.
He was more than a little lacking when it came to this aspect.
Wei Xiao was in a good mood, and everything looked good to him.
Brother Cai had something to ask of him. Seeing that he was downstairs, he
greeted him, “Come here, come here.”
Wei Xiao noticed that huge glass of watermelon juice, “Offering hospitality
for no reason; if it’s not adultery, then it’s theft. Comrade Old Bai, what do
you want?”
Bai Cai rolled his eyes, “Something good.”
Wei Xiao grew even more cautious, “Don’t fall in love with me, I have no
interest in you.”
Bai Cai was so angry he couldn’t even catch his breath, “I wouldn’t fall for
an old beast like you even if I were to die!”
Wei Xiao just liked to tease him on a daily basis, “Well, there’s no need to
die.”
Brother Cai was too lazy to continue on this topic with him and switched
back to the main topic, “Are you really giving up solo?”
He didn’t believe it!
As soon as Wei Xiao heard this, there was an uncomfortable feeling in his
heart.
The joy of ‘growing up’ couldn’t cover this inexplicable uneasiness.
“I gave it up!”
“Why?”
“I’m focusing on 5v5.”
“You don’t have to quit solo for that!”
Wei Xiao’s heart felt stuffy: What do you know!
Under normal circumstances, it was true that it wasn’t necessary to give up

solo.
Everyone knew that Lu Feng would sign up for FTW’s solo competition,
but this didn’t mean that other players couldn’t play solo.
Glory was a team game, but it also required personal operations.
And solo was undoubtedly the best way to improve.
Giving up solo meant giving up good training opportunities.
Wei Xiao was fidgety, “It’s enough to just solo with the captain.”
Bai Cai: “Really?”
Wei Xiao stared at him, “Who can compare with the captain?!”
Bai Cai: “But the captain is your teammate, and those in the competition
arena that you need to kill off are all your opponents.”
It had to be said that Brother Cai knew Wei Xiao very well.
Every word poked straight into his heart.
Wei Xiao didn’t want to solo?
He was about to die from wanting it so much!
Ever since he announced that he was giving up solo on Weibo, that group of
bastards have been constantly trying to excite him.
It was unknown what kind of ‘unequal’ contract Moonlit had signed with
his team, but he’d been live broadcasting almost every single day before the
regular season began.
He didn’t do anything else during his broadcasts. He just soloed with others.
This group of beasts refused to act human; they couldn’t get Quiet, so they
went to mess with Moonlit.
Then, they would make sure the video replay reached Wei Xiao’s eyes.
@FTW.Quiet, Moon God and Asleep’s passionate collision!
@FTW.Quiet, Moon God and Euro God’s c-position match!
@FTW.Quiet, click to see Moon God beat up his own captain.
……
……
At first, it was just Xia Dan, Blue, and that crowd of doggy things who
tagged him. Later, fans also found it and grew energetic, finding it very
interesting to follow suit and tag him.
As long as it was solo, there would definitely be @FTW.Quiet in the

message.
Wei Xiao was so angry that he had to uninstall Weibo!
He was quitting solo for the sake of love, but the entire network was now
trying to seduce him back.
It wasn’t easy being him!
At this moment, Bai Cai was trying to stimulate him again, “Why are you
so stuck on this point? You can give up anything, but you chose to give up
solo.”
Wei Xiao gritted his teeth, “I said I would give it up, so I’m giving it up!”
Bai Cai: “Come on, there’s a big event happening tomorrow.”
Wei Xiao blocked his ears, “As long as it’s related to solo, it has nothing to
do with me!”
Brother Cai’s eyes were filled with money, “Really, it’s a really big event.
Yesterday, Captain Mo told me that they’re planning a warm-up for the
regular season.”
There was a small gap in the hands covering Wei Xiao’s ears, “Hm?”
Brother Cai: “Moon God wants to set up a challenge arena in his live
broadcast room, and Captain Mo will inject capital. Anyone can challenge
and have a chance to win the final prize of 300,000 yuan!
Brother Cai tried to seduce him, “I know that you don’t care about the
300,000, but this is a golden opportunity.”
“Think about it, how seriously will the challengers be playing when there’s
money as a lure? Can it compare to how they play in private?”
“Consider it seriously. If you don’t participate, you’ll really have passed up

on this opportunity that shows up only once.”
“It’ll definitely be the captain going to play in the singles competition. Why
don’t you take this opportunity to satisfy your cravings?”
Wei Xiao: “……………………” F*ck!
Bai Cai took out his cell phone. He’d originally wanted to go and pull out
Money’s Weibo post. Who could’ve known…
“Damn, the captain…”
Wei Xiao glanced over, “What?”

Brother Cai raised up his cell phone so that he could look at it directly, “The
captain added to it! He’ll add another 300,000 for whoever wins the
challenge.”
Wei Xiao saw the post.
Close had forwarded Money’s Weibo post with a message of his own:
Adding 300,000. I won’t participate.
Bai Cai spoke excitedly, “What are you waiting for, the captain is trying to
encourage you with this!”
It was made clear that Close wouldn’t participate. In the entire China
competition zone, who else could compete with Wei Xiao when it came to
solo?
Such a large pile of money. It was clearly there as a gift for Wei Xiao to
take, take, take!
xiin: yes, it was a handjob… and then WX’s legs hurt because LF probably
got off by humping between WX’s thighs (juu says it’s called intercrural sex
but that’s not very sexy sounding…)
Ch100 - Lu Feng: Here, it hurts a
lot.
Brother Cai’s eyes were filled with money. When he saw the huge 600,000
yuan number, he wished that he could pick up the gun himself and screw
with Moonlit until he was calling out ‘daddy’!
Fine, Brother Cai couldn’t do it, Brother Cai didn’t have a gun.
However, his fellow brother did!
His fellow brother was the One Lamp Grandmaster who had managed to
hammer everyone in the Glory e-sports circle!
Brother Cai had a beautiful thought. He wondered if Comrade Old Wei

would be in a good mood and split half of it with him.
“If you don’t play even with this, Brother Xiao, you’ll be…” Bai Cai tried
to egg him on. He felt that his win was basically 90% guaranteed!
Who could’ve known… that the Wei Xiao in front of him wasn’t acting the
same way he’d imagined.
He wasn’t excited, wasn’t inspired, didn’t explode into action. Not only
that, his attitude seemed to be a little chilly?
Bai Cai stopped speaking and looked at Wei Xiao cautiously.
The winter sun was very strong at noon. The wall of the base’s front hall
was covered in a stretch of French windows and doors. The sunlight shone
in through the glass, warming it up like a greenhouse.
It was a pity that the most gorgeous flower in this greenhouse at this time
was cold and chilly, akin to deep layers of ice and snow.
Wei Xiao’s appearance was the clean and handsome type. He was 1.8
meters tall, but his body was thin. He wore his team uniform jacket casually
draped over his shoulders, and his waist was narrow, his legs long.
When he smiled, he seemed particularly attractive – a little flirty and

affectionate, and a little naughty; when he didn’t smile, his eyes curved
down, and his side profile was filled with indifference. It was a little similar
to Close.
Bai Cai’s heart thudded, and he strove to liven up the atmosphere, “Why
aren’t you happy that the captain is indulging you?”
It was still okay before he said these words, but once he spoke, it was like
he’d ignited a firecracker.
Wei Xiao didn’t say a word as he turned and went back upstairs.
Bai Cai’s head was covered in question marks, and he was completely
clueless about what had just happened.
Ning Zhehan, who’d just come downstairs, met Wei Xiao as he was going
up, “Brother Xiao…” He was given a shock before he could finish his
greeting.
Wei Xiao answered very lightly, then continued upstairs.
Ning Zhehan turned his body sideways, his eyes aiming at Bai Cai––
Brother Cai, what’s wrong with Brother Xiao?
Bai Cai’s expression was blank––
He didn’t know either.
They’d been back at the base for so many days, but Wei Xiao had never
been to Lu Feng’s office.
There was no special reason for it; Wei Xiao hadn’t wanted to disturb Lu
Feng when he was working.
Other than when they met in the canyon, every time he saw Lu Feng, he
always wanted to stick close to him.
It was enough to stick to him when they ate and slept. He would be too
much if he also harassed the captain when he was working.
Wei Xiao’s words might be arrogant and careless, but in fact, he had a good
sense of propriety.
Perhaps it was the uneasiness in his bones––a fear that even he didn’t
realize.
Fear of being disliked.
Fear of losing.
Fear that this hard won love would become like a bubble in the sea, popping
and disappearing without a trace.
Wei Xiao stopped outside the door to the office, pursed his lips, then
pressed the doorbell.
A familiar low voice came out from inside the room, “Come in.”
Wei Xiao frowned tightly and pushed open the heavy wooden door.
Unlike what he’d expected, Lu Feng’s office was quite ordinary.
FTW’s base was well-known for its lavishness. From the outside all the way
to the inside, the overall design of the villa was very stylish and
comfortable.
Even the contestants’ dormitories were elaborately built. According to this

logic, Lu Feng’s office should be the place with the most attention to detail.
However, that wasn’t actually the case.

Other than the same French windows that were present on each floor, the
office was filled with the light scent of books.
A bookshelf that covered an entire wall was covered in sunlight. On the

desk at the front of the room, there was an all-in-one printer, and all the
documents were piled in a rack. A silver Montblanc pen was the only bright
spot of color.
There was a sofa set in front of the desk. It wasn’t from any famous brand,
but rather, an ordinary black sofa set. Even the coffee table was basic with
just a touch of style in the design.
The overall decorations wouldn’t make people feel that the office was
shabby, but it wasn’t the same ‘gorgeous’ style that the rest of the FTW
base displayed.
Lu Feng looked up and saw Wei Xiao in a daze by the door.
“What’s the matter?” Lu Feng stood up and came to him.
Wei Xiao closed the door behind him. He didn’t step forward and just
leaned against the door, holding the handle with the hand that was behind
his back.
His mood was obviously not right. Lu Feng was quite clear about the
reasons, and his voice was low when he spoke, “Angry?”
Half of the high wall that Wei Xiao had erected collapsed with this single
word.
Wei Xiao looked up at him, “I said I wasn’t going to solo!”
When Bai Cai saw that Lu Feng had added 300,000 to the challenge, he just
thought that the captain was indulging him and wanted him to have a good
time.
But Wei Xiao only felt a wave of coldness surging up.
They’d clearly spoken about it.

It had already been settled.
The captain had even said “Mm.” Why…
Lu Feng reached behind him and loosened the hand he had wrapped around
the door handle.
Wei Xiao held on to his hand tightly, lifting his head to look at him, “You
still want me to participate in the singles competition!”
Did this question still require an answer?
This silence already said everything.
Wei Xiao frowned, his eyes cold and icy. This was a side that he’d never
shown in front of Lu Feng before––
It was the tough layer of camouflage that Wei Xiao erected when faced with
disaster.
Lu Feng calmed down his mood, “Having you sign up for the singles
competition wasn’t something I decided on alone. It was the result after a
joint discussion with the coaching team.”
Wei Xiao stared at him, “As long as you decided on it, would the coaching
team refuse?!”
Lu Feng looked at his slightly reddened eyes and felt like his heart had been
stabbed, “Little Xiao.”
He couldn’t bear to hear Lu Feng call him that.
Lu Feng was the only one in the entire world who would call him like that,
with such a gentle voice.
He knew that the captain was good to him, and he knew that the captain
valued him.
But…
He also wanted to be good to him, and he valued him, too!
Wei Xiao bowed his head and said stubbornly, “I won’t sign up.”
He didn’t want the captain to have to sacrifice himself in order to satisfy

him.
Lu Feng held his hand, “Come here.”
Wei Xiao didn’t say a word, letting Lu Feng lead him over to sit on the
black sofa that couldn’t actually be considered soft.
Wei Xiao didn’t look at him, his attitude like that of a child who’d been
cheated by his family.
Lu Feng held the back of his neck, pulled him close, then kissed him.
Wei Xiao resisted, “Kissing me isn’t going to work.”
He was angry! The kind that kissing wouldn’t coax better!
Lu Feng’s lips curved briefly in a smile, “There’s something that I can’t tell
others, but I want to tell you.”
Wei Xiao looked hard and unforgiving on the outside, but his heart had long
turned as soft as a pool of water.
Especially the kiss just now, it had collapsed all his defenses.
In front of someone he loved, his hard facade was nothing but a paper tiger.
However, Wei Xiao didn’t want to back down.
When it came to things related to Close, he would fight until the end.
Lu Feng had never thought that there would come a day when he would
take the initiative to speak of his troubles out loud. However, in fact, all the
words that couldn’t be said were simply because he hadn’t met the right
person.
His shoulder injury was linked to a humiliating past.
For Lu Feng to say it out loud meant that not only was he tearing down the
broken armor on his body, he was also uncovering the scar that covered the
blood and pus within.
“I’m sorry.” Lu Feng held his hand gently, lowering his gaze, “It’s that I
have no way to compete in the singles competition.”
Wei Xiao was stunned. He didn’t understand.
Lu Feng lifted up his hand and pressed it forcefully against his own
shoulder.
Wei Xiao’s eyes opened wide.
Lu Feng frowned tightly and a thin layer of sweat oozed out from his
forehead, “Here, it hurts a lot.”
The last words were spoken very lightly, as light as snowflakes falling from
the sky.
––Casual, inconspicuous, light, and floating softly in the air.
However, the next moment felt like a heavy blizzard, bringing a bottomless
coldness that couldn’t be melted away.
Wei Xiao was buried in this sudden blizzard.
Lu Feng talked in detail about his own situation. His shoulder injury, the
three rounds of competition that he couldn’t balance, and how he had had to
make a choice.
Regret and relief.

Loss and hope.
“I’m very glad you came to FTW.” Lu Feng expressed all of his thoughts
openly to Wei Xiao, “It was your arrival that gave me hope.”
A new FTW, a new season.
In this year’s team competition, FTW would definitely be able to obtain the
real championship!
After three years and several changes, the new FTW would finally usher in
their summer!
Wei Xiao was in a daze. A long time later, his pale lips trembled as he
asked Lu Feng, “You’ve been competing while injured all along?”
Wei Xiao’s brain was buzzing. In the next second, tears began to fall
silently.
His eyes were red, his face was dazed, and other than the continuous sound
of tears as they dripped down and fell, there was no other sound.
Lu Feng was distressed. He hugged him, “Don’t cry.”
He hadn’t been able to speak out for so long, precisely because he was
afraid of seeing him cry.
Wei Xiao put his chin on his shoulder, not moving at all as he repeated,
“You’ve been competing while injured all along.”
Scenes flashed in his mind like a fast-forward movie, starting from the day
he’d met Lu Feng. All the details were magnified infinitely in Wei Xiao’s
brain.
The self-disciplined captain.
The captain that stuck to his exercise routine.

The captain who rested on time every day…
Countless things that Wei Xiao had thought were just Lu Feng’s personal
preferences became magnified as he recalled them.
If one didn’t experience pain, they wouldn’t be obsessed with exercise.
If there was no real threat, there would be no need for that level of self-
discipline.
Anyone who loved the competition, anyone who’d reached the peak; how
would any of them not do their best in the canyon?
Two years ago, Close had soloed with him for 48 hours straight.
He loved Glory more than anyone else, indulged in it, and couldn’t extricate
himself from it.
But now, he’d reduced his training, never stayed up late, went running for
exercise every morning, his life orderly and disciplined like that of an old
man.
The body was the capital for everything.
Lu Feng had said this to him many times.
At the time, Wei Xiao hadn’t taken him seriously, but now, it was a sharp
pain stabbing through his heart and lungs.
During the winter training camp, Wei Xiao had been frightened by Li
Heran’s injury.
Now, the same fear swept in, completely enveloping him.
The captain had a shoulder injury. He’d been competing while injured, he’d
been persevering through it.
Occupational diseases were too fatal for e-sports players.

How much willpower did it require to endure pain and withstand the
numbness, ensuring stable play?
If something went wrong, it would all collapse like an avalanche.
It wouldn’t be just the team that collapsed, the individual player would be
impacted the most.
After experiencing such setbacks, they would leave the scene alone.
Li Heran, who was once the number one ADC in Glory, had been reduced
to the point where nobody talked about him.
Close, he also…
Bursts of cold rippled down his back. Wei Xiao felt as though he was
falling into an abyss.
Kim Sung-hyun’s words poured into his heart.
Intermittent, fragmented, and finally, the half-burnt out cigarette by the sea.
The dim light that didn’t shine through the dark night.
The warmth it gave off at the fingertips wasn’t enough to warm up the cold
sea.
Kim Sung-hyun’s unwillingness and regret, all of it poured into Wei Xiao’s
heart.
Wei Xiao looked straight ahead and asked Lu Feng in a voice that didn’t
sound like his own, “You can only participate in the 5v5, right?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao’s lips trembled, “You want me to sign up for the singles
competition, right?”
Lu Feng suppressed the reluctance in his heart, closed his eyes and said,
“You can also sign up for the doubles competition.”
Wei Xiao’s voice was light and fluttering, “With who?”
Lu Feng: “Bai Cai.”
As soon as his voice fell, he felt a tear land on his neck.
They were very cold tears, but it also scalded so much it made his back
tighten.
Wei Xiao didn’t say anything else and just held him gently.
His movements were very light, as though afraid of touching his injury.
He didn’t know how much time passed, and he didn’t know how long they
remained cuddled together like this.
Wei Xiao finally released Lu Feng.
Lu Feng looked at him anxiously, “Wei Xiao.”
Wei Xiao avoided his gaze, “Give me some time.”
The words that were waiting at the edge of Lu Feng’s lips were swallowed
back, “Okay.”
Wei Xiao got up and walked out of the office.
He went downstairs expressionlessly, then locked himself in his bedroom.
Soybean had originally wanted to pounce on him, but when it saw him like
this, it immediately hit the brakes.
It gave a gentle call, then lay down obediently at the edge of the bed.
Wei Xiao hadn’t taken off his clothes. He simply pulled back the quilt and
got into bed.
He curled up in the quilt, unable to stop his trembling.
Last time he felt like this, it had been two years ago––
When he learned of his grandma’s death, Wei Xiao just felt like the heavens
and earth were churning.
The person who’d encouraged him to be strong and live on had passed
away.
The person who’d supported his constant efforts had left.
The love that Wei Xiao hadn’t been able to express, the love that he hadn’t
been able to return, the love that he failed to give, all of it turned into grief
that pressed down on him.
It was too heavy, pressing down on his 17 year old self until he couldn’t
breathe.
Now… this sense of suffocation came again.
Close was injured. Close was ill.
The king of the singles competition had no alternative but to take off his
crown, because of something so helpless.
Belief. Faith.
The light he chased.
Wei Xiao was close to him, and he could see him.
But, he also witnessed the bloodshed behind it.
The bright light in front of others was broken and fragmented behind the
scenes.
A strange picture appeared in front of Wei Xiao––

On the dazzling championship stage, there was the incomparably powerful
Close, but behind him was a darkness that was constantly swallowing him
up.
The brilliance of the light was equal to the depths of the darkness.
The next day.
It wasn’t just Bai Cai; everyone in FTW could tell that something was
wrong with Wei Xiao.
The person who had the most to say normally was no longer talking, the
person who liked to laugh the most was no longer laughing.
Wei Xiao went to the training room in the morning and never left it until
10PM.
Chen Feng finished that day’s game review, “Everyone can do their own
thing.”
He glanced at Wei Xiao, paused, then added, “By the way, RR’s arena
platform. You guys can give it a try if you’re interested.”
When the Wei Xiao who’d been as silent as a man made of wood heard this,
his eyelashes trembled.
Even Bai Cai hadn’t dared to speak to him all day long.
Finally, when he saw that Wei Xiao seemed to have loosened up slightly, he
asked tentatively, “Go and give it a try?”
Ning Zhehan also tried to ease up the atmosphere, “I’ll give a try, too. After
all, our captain is funding 300,000 of the prize money.”
When he heard the word ‘captain’, Wei Xiao spoke his first sentence of the
day, “I’ll go.”
Bai Cai snuck a glance at him, and the joke that was hovering at the edge of
his mouth simply got stuck before it came out.
Wei Xiao’s current appearance was too scary.
There wasn’t even a single word of nonsense as Wei Xiao logged into the
game and applied to enter the game room that Moonlit had set up.
On that side, Moonlit had just finished a game. He accepted the application.
“Solo?”
“Mm.”
Moonlit was livestreaming. When the fans saw the ID ‘Quiet’, the
atmosphere instantly heated up, “Holy shit, the grandmaster is here!”
“Grandmaster, can you do it? My Moon God just finished hammering

people, and his hands are warmed up.”
“How exciting, this segment should be recorded. After the game is over, I
want to go back and savor it properly!”
“I bet three cannons that Moon God will win.”
“I bet six on Quiet!”
The match started. The audience became even more excited when they saw
the heroes both sides had selected.
“Moon God’s immortal warlock ahhhhh, I’ll love him for a lifetime!”
“The shadow thief ahhhhhh, FTW’s inherited shadow thief ahhhhh!”
“Although I can’t see Quiet on the screen, I always have a feeling that he’s
filled with killing intent today.”
When they entered the narrow canyon for the singles competition, the
scrolling comments were confused for a moment.
“This…”
“About this…”
“This isn’t killing intent, this is simply a demon!”
Less than one minute into the game.
FTW.Quiet killed RR.Moonlit.
The author has something to say: Don’t be afraid, the second arc’s name is
Blazing Sun It’s the blazing sun that lights up Close. Too much drama
affects the reading experience. Believe me, I won’t let you down.
xiin: even the author said it will be okay! WX and LF will work through
this~ but i won’t judge you if you need tissues… i went through a few while
translating these chapters (shhh)…
Ch101 - FTW’s new generation
jungler king!
In a singles competition, the shortest time to a first kill was 40 seconds.
This was a record set by Close.
The lines of soldiers appeared after ten seconds. The first wave of soldiers
arrived, and then he’d killed his opponent at level one.
This was even a brilliant set of operations for the global competition, and it
shocked the entire Glory circle.
Coincidentally, Close had also been using the shadow thief at the time,
while the player on the opposing side had taken the immortal warlock.
Just like Wei Xiao and Moonlit.
In theory, it was possible for a shadow thief to kill the immortal warlock
right at the start of the game.
The immortal warlock was relatively weak before it unlocked its ultimate
move, and its skills, movement speed, health bar, and defense all couldn’t
compete with that of the shadow thief.
However, professional players all had their own ideas regarding their
commonly played heroes.
In China’s Glory circle, Moonlit’s name was almost synonymous with that
of the immortal warlock. He knew all the advantages and disadvantages of
this talent spec better than anyone else.
His delicate positioning and careful micro operations meant that he
wouldn’t be killed in the early stages of the game.
However, today’s Quiet wasn’t human!
As soon as he entered, the shadow thief’s red aura of oppression filled up

the whole canyon.
When the soldier lines entered, the shadow thief took out its sword. Moonlit
sensed something, but unfortunately, all of his actions had been seen
through!
Handing over his flash skill less than one minute into the start of the game
would be too much, surely. However, it was this one second of hesitation
that meant that he missed the chance to escape and had his life swept away
by the shadow thief.
Someone reacted, “F*ck, is this really Quiet? Are you sure it’s not Close
playing for him?!”
“It’s an offline entertainment match, so do they need to bring out Close for
this?”
“Who knows, take a look at the amazing popularity levels of Moonlit’s

broadcast room. Maybe it’s been hyped up by both teams.”
If the traffic and popularity were high, they would have a larger audience.
All sorts of people with bad intentions also started to appear.
However, the scrolling comments couldn’t affect the game, and the killing
inside the game had already become white hot.
Wei Xiao obtained the first kill within a minute, undoubtedly stimulating
Moonlit.
The live broadcasting room showed Moonlit’s perspective. People couldn’t

see what the shadow thief was doing and could only follow the immortal
warlock’s perspective.
This wasn’t the same as watching the game from the god’s perspective.
They lost the advantage of being able to see the whole situation, and the
sense of immersion was very strong.
It was so strong that it was like they were in the canyon, as though they
were the immortal warlock themselves, as though they were also the ones
being threatened by the shadow thief’s crimson blade.
Getting killed within one minute led to a more cautious Moonlit after his
resurrection.
He knew Wei Xiao very well. Countless solos with him had made him
extremely aware of how fierce this person was.
But today’s Wei Xiao was very different. Not only was he fierce, he was
also crazy.
Moonlit held tight to his flash and was very wary of the shadow thief,
vowing to remain alive until he reached level six.
Once he reached level six, the immortal warlock’s ultimate move would
allow him to turn the tables perfectly.
However, Wei Xiao understood this truth even better than he did. He
continued to suppress the immortal warlock, forcing him to choose.
Either offer up your head to be killed, or lose your soldiers.
If he was killed, he would lose a large amount of farm. However, if he lost

his soldiers, it would also affect his growth.
Glory was a game of ‘watching farm’. Anyone who didn’t think to save up
and strive to earn farm would just be strung up for slaughter in the later
stages of the game.
Even someone whose individual operations level was superior, like Close,
would find it impossible to kill their opponent with 8000 gold if they only
had 3000 gold themselves.
Without money and levels, it didn’t matter how your operational skills
were. Even a clever woman wouldn’t be able to cook rice without rice
grains.
Moonlit had been forced into this position by the ferocious shadow thief.
Wei Xiao wasn’t ‘playing for entertainment’ at all. From the start, he’d had
a very focused attitude, and his body exuded the aura of fighting until the
death.
Moonlit liked this level of seriousness, but…
He was being completely suppressed. There was no way to fight back, and
it was too oppressive!
It wasn’t that his operations weren’t good enough, it wasn’t that his
positioning was flawed, it was that he couldn’t find any opportunities at all.
Moonlit had only hesitated for a second at the start of the game, but Wei
Xiao, who’d grabbed the absolute superiority in the game didn’t even give
him a single chance to breathe.
After finally reaching level six, the audience who was watching from
Moonlit’s perspective finally caught their breath.
“Ultimate! Moon God, quickly use your ultimate move!”
“The shadow thief is done for! It’s useless even if he has light arcs, our
immortal warlock’s ultimate move can give him immunity to 80% of all
damage!”
“Yeah, even if eight light arcs hit Moon God in the face, as long as Moon
God can link up his ultimate move, the light arc is nothing but a younger
brother.”
“What if he manages nine…”
“What are you thinking? Close is the only one in the whole world who can
do it. A rare talent who only shows up once in a hundred years, okay?”
“As everyone knows, nine light arcs is something that even the game
developers didn’t expect would happen.”
“Only Close is able to do it.”
“Even if Quiet is learning from Close, he can’t…”
“Holy sh*t!”
While the audience was discussing enthusiastically, analyzing the situation

with relish, and speculating with interest––
––they could be so relaxed, because Moonlit had finally started to fight

back.
The immortal warlock that had its ultimate move was completely different.
It had a huge advantage against the shadow thief’s light arcs.
The immortal warlock’s ultimate move of flying on the clouds was very
difficult to operate, but it was very powerful once it was linked up. Firstly,
the DPS output was considerable, and secondly, it made the immortal
warlock immune to 80% of damage it received when it was flying on the
clouds.
What did that mean?
If the eight light arcs dealt 10,000 damage, then it would only cause 2,000
damage even if it landed on the immortal warlock who was in the midst of
its ultimate move.
Without calculating an immortal warlock’s defense value, it already had

3,000 points of health.
Normally, eight light arcs could kill three immortal warlocks, but it wasn’t
enough to kill a single immortal warlock who was flying on the clouds.
The immortal warlock’s ultimate move didn’t deal as much damage as eight
light arcs, but it was enough to easily cut down the shadow thief who had
no damage immunity.
So, the shadow thief had no way to compete with the immortal warlock in
terms of ultimate moves.
Of course, there were countless possibilities for error in this. Not everyone
could easily start flying on the clouds, and not everyone could link up light
arcs.
In a fight between the strong, the details were more important.
Once both of them were fully absorbed in the fight and focused on the
details, the rest all depended on real strength.
If the shadow thief could brush out nine light arcs, then it would bring the
damage from 10,000 to 20,000.
Even if the immortal warlock had 80% damage immunity, it would still die.
Everyone had already decided that nine light arcs was something that was
exclusive to Close.
Everyone was absolutely certain that Quiet wouldn’t be able to link up nine
light arcs.
But it was often the case that everyone’s point of view didn’t represent the
truth.
When the light arcs that covered most of the canyon blew up, everyone was
stunned.
Moonlit stared at the screen that had turned gray because of his death, and
his eyes blazed with fervor.
The immortal warlock toppled over.
The shadow thief’s red cloak drifted down quietly, the scene incredibly
gorgeous, and leaving only the figure hidden in the dark.
The blue crystal exploded.

Moonlit lost the game.
The entire live broadcast studio was silent.
The audience, who’d been watching the game from Moonlit’s first person
perspective, had also been greatly affected.
Not everyone had had the opportunity to experience nine light arcs in the
canyon.
Not to mention that Close rarely used the shadow thief, even in official
competitions.
The experience from god’s perspective was completely different from

experiencing it from the character’s perspective.
They could only scream when experiencing the former, while the latter one
was thrilling and shocking.
They could feel the pressure Moonlit felt, experience the powerlessness that
Moonlit felt, and also get a feel for the gap between the two.
They even felt a huge sense of frustration.
In the end, they weren’t Moonlit.
When faced with a sense of oppression, ordinary people would retreat,

while top professional players would become inspired. Their blood would
boil, their fingers tremble, and their eyes grow heated. They wanted to try
and win again!
Not admitting defeat was a basic quality required to become a top player.
The scrolling comments were moving––
“It’s proven, this must be Close.”
“Is it worth them going so far? It’s just an entertainment game. Why ask the
captain to fight for him?”
“Hah, FTW’s really amazing, they added 300,000 yuan, then still had Close
go up to play?”
“No way, Close said that he wouldn’t participate.”
“Do you believe that Quiet can do nine light arcs?”
“No.”
“I don’t believe it +1.”
“I don’t believe it + ID number.”
There was no need to talk about how the audience didn’t believe it; FTW’s
entire training room was silent.
From the start of the competition, Bai Cai, Ning Zhehan, and Yue Wenle
had all stopped queueing for games to come and watch.
The live broadcast room gave Moonlit’s perspective, while they watched
Wei Xiao’s perspective.
If Moonlit’s perspective could be described as oppressed, targeted, and

smeared into the ground and rubbed around…
Then Wei Xiao’s perspective was the opposite.
Suppression, coercion, strong and fierce sneak attacks.
It turned out that experiencing the first person perspective as ‘Close’ could
make people’s scalps go numb like this!
Indeed…
Even the FTW teammates who’d stared at Wei Xiao with wide eyes,
watching as he executed this set of operations, felt that this wasn’t Quiet,
but Close.
The person sitting here was Wei Xiao, but it was Close who’d entered the
canyon.
Bai Cai’s goosebumps jumped straight out as he watched it.
He’d known for a long time that Wei Xiao understood Close, known early
on that he was very good at imitating Close, and that Wei Xiao was simply
like another Close when he was at his most obsessive moments.
However, this was the first time he’d seen Quiet throw himself away and
become Close.
Brother Cai was very worthy of a person who lived in the gossip circles. He
understood too much about the things that the fans could get up to.
As soon as Wei Xiao began to brush out the second half of his light arcs,
he’d already started a video recording and recorded all his operations.
It would be best if nobody questioned it.
If people questioned it, then he would shove this video in their faces!
Let them have a good look––
It wasn’t Close.
It was Quiet!
The challenge arena had been set up for a long time, and everyone could
only lose once.
Moonlit had defeated countless people, but he was finally taken down by
Wei Xiao.
The host asked if there were any other challengers?
There was complete silence at the scene.
Challenge what?
Were they going to challenge and see how they could get beaten?!
After winning the challenge arena and getting 600,000 yuan, the corners of
Wei Xiao’s lips didn’t even curve up.
He left the challenge room and went to continue ranking on the

international servers.
The internet had already exploded, and various conspiracy theories emerged
endlessly.
“Interesting. If we’d known early on that Close was participating, who

would come and accompany him to play?”
“He said he was adding 300,00 but in fact, he wanted to take it all.”
“Tsk, tsk, FTW’s morals are getting lower and lower. The other side’s
Captain Mo didn’t say that Close wasn’t allowed to compete, so did they
have to go so far as to have him pay someone else’s account?”
“Enough already, Money’s schemes run deep too, using 300,000 to push up
a live broadcast room’s popularity. This year’s RR endorsement fees are
probably high enough to reach the heavens.”
“Really worthy of being a rich second generation, he’s a business genius.”
Bai Cai couldn’t bear to see Wei Xiao getting slandered like this, so he sent
the video off to Xiang Liu.
Xiang Liu was in the midst of extracting the training room monitoring feed.
The clarity from the monitoring recording was alright, but it was far less
powerful than the close shot that Bai Cai had provided.
“Great job!”
Xiang Liu put up both videos on the official website and instantly cleaned
up all the suspicious netizens.
There had been no substitution.

There was only FTW’s new generation jungler king––Quiet!
Xiang Liu had also sent Bai Cai’s video to Lu Feng.
Lu Feng sat in front of his computer, endlessly replaying the one minute
video.
The video was shot from the back, and the angle had been selected well.
Not only could the viewers see the computer screen clearly, they could also
see Wei Xiao’s focused expression as he stared at the screen.
The youth’s black hair was slightly messy, his pale face was illuminated by
the light arcs on the screen, and his pair of black eyes seemed coated with a
layer of frost that separated the canyon’s gorgeous splendor from his inner
coldness.
Not long ago, when Wei Xiao was pestering him to solo, he’d once asked
him, “Captain, when will I be able to use nine light arcs?”
Lu Feng couldn’t remember what he’d said. He only remembered Wei Xiao
sitting on his lap, his eyes curved as he said, “I’ll definitely be able to do it,
because in the whole world, there’s only me and you who are made for each
other.”
Lu Feng leaned back in his chair. He lifted his hand and loosened his collar
in response to the surging feeling of suffocation that swept up.
He was more eager than anyone else to see Quiet’s nine light arcs.
But it wasn’t supposed to be like this.
The Quiet he wanted to see was brilliant, unbridled, acting recklessly

without the slightest haze.
Wei Xiao queued on his own in the international servers until 6AM.
There was a ding in his private messages. It was a special icon from the
competition zone’s strongest player.
Wei Xiao clicked it open and saw the ID ‘Marshall’.
It was six o’clock in the afternoon, North American time.
Yuan Ze: “Nine light arcs, not bad, little friend.”
Wei Xiao wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone.
Yuan Ze sent over another message, “You’re fighting so hard, is it because

you want to kick aside your captain and sign yourself up to participate in
the singles competition?”
These words stabbed into Wei Xiao’s chest like a knife and stirred up the
unwillingness he’d felt for a whole day and night.
Wei Xiao: “Get lost.”
Yuan Ze was the kind of old beast who could get lost, and then roll right
back again, “Be good, let Close have the opportunity to participate in the
singles competition this year, and big brother will accompany you to play
next year.”
The author has something to say: Old Dog Yuan is here to break the
situation [ Who would’ve dared to think that the old dog would still have
some use? ]
xiin: you will be smiling through your tears soon…~ also, happy new year!
Ch102 - Wei Xiao kissed him on the
shoulder, “Believe in me.”
Wei Xiao would never tell anyone about Lu Feng’s shoulder.
He understood the gravity of the matter and knew how serious it was.
The more he knew, the more he understood, and the more clearly he could
see the burden that was on Close’s shoulders.
The responsibility of a top player, the pressure of a club manager, the

unwillingness of a captain who’d failed to get any achievements in the
global competition for three years…
There was too much there, it was too heavy.
Even someone as strong as Lu Feng would still be hurt by this.
When Wei Xiao thought of this, his eyes grew red.
He’d held back his tears all day, and he could no longer hold back his tears
now, when nobody else was there.
He felt heartache for the captain and felt sorry for himself.
The sense of powerlessness hit him in the face, covering Wei Xiao’s eyes
like a thick fog.
What to do?
After playing in this year’s competition, would the captain be able to

continue?
After winning the championship, would the captain have to retire?
He was only 21 years old, so young. To just…
Wei Xiao thought of himself from two years ago, and an even stronger
wave of negative emotions swept over his entire person.
If he’d joined the team earlier, the captain wouldn’t have ended up like this.
If he hadn’t run away, he and the captain could’ve taken on this

responsibility together.
If…
But there was no ‘if’.
Infinite regret couldn’t be traded in to reverse time.
What’s more, even if they went back to two years ago, would Wei Xiao be
able to get rid of the haze left by his grandmother’s death? Would he have
been able to open his mind up to the game? Would he have been able to
play his part?
Nothing was certain.
Wei Xiao’s chest felt blocked, and he just felt that fate was constantly
joking with him.
Why did he have that kind of parents?
Why did fate have to take away his grandmother?
Why couldn’t they even let off the captain who’d been so good to him?
Wei Xiao had lived for so many years, and he tried his best to be worthy of
everyone, striving to do everything well. Why did he always have to
encounter such unforgiving disasters?
“Captain…” Wei Xiao called out softly, his heart feeling like it was being
stabbed by countless knives.
The sweetest form of address, the warmest low murmur, the name that had
given him infinite power…
Now, it had all turned to fear.
Fear of losing.
Fear of being alone.
Fear of the happiness that hadn’t been easy to obtain slipping right through
his fingers.
Wei Xiao trembled slightly, hugging his knees and curling up in the e-sports
chair.
He would become Close for the captain’s sake.
He would do the things that Close could do.
But…
He missed Close, he missed him so much.
Tears blurred his line of sight, and Wei Xiao couldn’t see what Yuan Ze had
typed out on the screen clearly.
Until his phone rang…
The strange number stunned him for a moment.
Wei Xiao wiped away his tears, then picked it up politely, “Hello.”
There was a pause on the other side, followed by the sound of a man whose
voice had traces of careless laziness, “Crying?”

From the other side of the phone Yuan Ze seemed to know what he wanted
to do, “If you hang up the phone, it means that you really are crying.”
Wei Xiao blanked out his voice, “How did Captain Yuan get my phone
number?”
Yuan Ze’s ears were very sharp. While he might be very dog-like when he
normally teased this little child, when he really sensed that his mood might
not be right, he was also extremely perceptive, “I got it from Old G.”
During the winter training camp, Wei Xiao and Gary had gotten more and
more familiar with each other, especially after playing several training
matches together. So, they’d ended up exchanging contact information.
At the time, Wei Xiao had told Old G, “Don’t give my phone number to
your captain.”
Gary: “Mmkay!”
Old Dog Yuan really wasn’t a human being. He’d even taught a big grown
man who was 1.86 meters tall to use ‘mmkay’ – didn’t his conscience hurt?!
Now, it seemed that one would really be influenced by the company they
kept; Old G had said ‘mmkay’, but he’d also been equally quick to sell him
out.
Wei Xiao breathed lightly, then said, “Is there something you need, Captain
Yuan? If not, I’m going to sleep.”
Yuan Ze tsked, “I said a whole pile of things to you in our private messages,
didn’t you read them?”
Only then did Wei Xiao look at his computer screen. Sure enough, when he
opened up the private chat channel, it was packed densely with words from
Yuan Ze––
“Hold on, don’t get seduced by your captain. He actually wants to play in
the singles competition more than anyone else.”
“I tricked Old Xie, and he’ll definitely sign up this year. If Close doesn’t
come, then us big brothers will be one short.”
“Be good, little friend, let your captain have the opportunity this time.”
It was alright when Wei Xiao didn’t read it, but after he saw it, the sourness
in his heart couldn’t be suppressed anymore.
He wanted to play more than anyone else.
Xie He would sign up.
Short one person.
Wei Xiao closed his eyes briefly, “I know.”
The psychology books that Yuan Ze had read weren’t read for nothing.
Although it wasn’t useful for dealing with Close, it could still be used to
fool little children at this time.
“What, did you have a fight with your captain?”
Yuan Ze laughed, “If you can fight with him, it means that he attaches
importance to you.”
Wei Xiao couldn’t pick up the thread of the conversation, but he also didn’t
hang up the phone. He wanted to hear more about the captain, and he was
eager to learn more about the captain.
And Yuan Ze was undoubtedly a good candidate for this information.
Yuan Ze’s voice was careless, and his choice of words weren’t serious, but
he was actually speaking the human language for once.
“You, hey, don’t get fooled by your captain, don’t believe everything he
says.”
“No matter how strong Close is, he’s not absolutely perfect.”
“Since you want to stay by his side, you should learn how to fill in the
gaps.”
“That Crazy Guy and Old Soup can’t do it. Those two used to idolize Close
blindly.”
“No matter which club it is, it’s not a good thing to have one person
deciding everything.”
“Everyone’s human, and we all make mistakes.”
Wei Xiao was stunned and dazed when he read all this. The dense haze that
was gathered in his chest started to show signs of loosening up.
He couldn’t tell which sentence from Yuan Ze had touched him, but he’d
really helped pry out the huge stone weighing down on his heart.
The captain was human, too.
The captain could make mistakes, too.
The captain’s decisions weren’t always right.
Wei Xiao felt a shock in his heart, and something seemed to explode in his
brain.
He couldn’t quite catch it, but he could see the light.
It was a ray of hot sunshine that broke through the dark clouds.
Yuan Ze’s words became less and less serious, “If you guys really can’t get
along, there’s no need to force it. How about leaving Close and running into
my embrace?”
Wei Xiao came back to his senses.

Yuan Ze was still yakking on, “Look at how he made you cry. Come to big
brother, I promise to make you smile every day.”
Wei Xiao opened his mouth, “Captain Yuan.”
Yuan Ze could tell that his tone had evened out, “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “Let me tell you something.”
Yuan Ze’s eyes brightened, “Yeah?”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t love me, it’s useless unless you’re Close.”
Yuan Ze: “…………………” F*ck!
After hanging up the phone, Wei Xiao felt a little grateful to Yuan Ze in his
heart.
But to say thank you?
Sorry, but that old beast didn’t deserve it!
Yeah, he only deserved to be beaten by the captain until his head was
bleeding in the competition arena!
Wei Xiao wiped his tears and jumped down from the e-sports chair.
To hell was being dazed.
Crying could also go to hell!
How would that solve anything!
God loved to play around with him, right?
Then, he would tell God that he was no longer the three year old sitting at
the door waiting for his parents. He was no longer the one who had been
afraid and in despair when his grandmother died!
He was the Quiet who had a promising future, FTW’s miracle soldier, and
the man who was a match made in heaven with Close!
This time, he wasn’t going to wait, he wasn’t going to leave any regrets,
and he wasn’t going to avoid it.
This time, he was going to control his own destiny!
Wei Xiao refused to accept it!
He wanted to know more, he wanted to understand more, and he wanted to

find solutions.
The captain didn’t want to give up the game, the captain wanted to take part
in the solo competition, and the captain also wanted to fight against his true
opponents.
Since that was the case, he would help him find a way!
Wei Xiao looked at the time.
It was half past six in the morning. Too early.
Doctor Chen definitely hadn’t started work yet.
Wait a bit… he’d just wait a bit longer. These two hours didn’t make any
difference.
It was impossible for Wei Xiao to sleep. He sat in the training room, and
every second felt like a year.
Wei Xiao logged into the game and continued to solo queue and rank up in
points.
Under this extremely urgent mood, his game play level was also a little
abnormal and far less ruthless than he’d been over the previous day and
night.
When it was almost eight o’clock, he suddenly got up. He clearly hadn’t
heard anything, nor did he see anything, but he seemed to have sensed
something.
Wei Xiao tossed aside the mouse and went to the window.
The training room faced south, and it just so happened to overlook the
base’s canyon garden.
Wei Xiao saw Soybean’s black and white figure, and he also saw the
captain dressed in his black running clothes.
He was too far away and could only see a vague figure of the captain’s
back.
The sun came up very late in winter mornings. The thin sunlight that
seemed unable to press back the cold winter landed lightly on Lu Feng’s
shoulder.
Gentle, but cruel.
Wei Xiao’s heart clenched and he closed the curtains.
It was definitely possible.
There had to be a way.
The captain’s body was so strong, his work and rest schedule was so
regular, and he adhered to exercise so strenuously. How could he lose to this
damned injury!
Waiting seemed to take forever.
Over these two hours, Wei Xiao had basically checked the time every time
he died, checked the time after every game, and finally, he couldn’t bear it
anymore and simply closed the game to stare at the clock.
The clock pointer finally landed on 29, and Wei Xiao really couldn’t wait
that last minute. He picked up the phone and dialed through to Doctor
Chen.
Wei Xiao didn’t dare to say it directly, but he asked vaguely about cures for
occupational diseases.
Doctor Chen understood what he was asking as soon as she heard it. She
knew about Lu Feng’s shoulder injury.
As FTW’s ‘imperial’ physiotherapist, she was also Lu Feng’s

physiotherapist.
“Did your captain tell you?”
Wei Xiao paused when he heard these words.
Doctor Chen liked Wei Xiao a lot. A lively and lovely young man like him
easily stimulated her maternal instincts.
Wei Xiao didn’t try to dodge it and asked her bluntly, “Doctor Chen, is it
possible to cure the captain’s shoulder?”
His heart jumped up to his throat when he said these words.
He’d never been so nervous in his life. He hadn’t been this nervous even
when his college entrance examination results had been announced.
A long time later.
Or maybe it was just half a second.
But this was already so long that Wei Xiao couldn’t tell the time clearly.
Doctor Chen’s gentle voice rang out in his ear, “Lu Feng’s shoulder
situation is very special. It’s not a simple strain, but rather, it was… in short,
this situation can be cured, but it requires systematic rehabilitation and
treatment. Optimistically speaking, it can be completely cured in two or
three months.”

He could hear every word and understood every word, but he didn’t dare to
believe it. He was afraid that he was just dreaming!
Wei Xiao found his own voice again and asked anxiously, “Really? Doctor
Chen, don’t lie to me, the captain’s shoulder can really be cured, right?!”
He couldn’t control his voice, and his pitch grew higher as he spoke.
Doctor Chen could feel his excitement and just felt that this child was really
warm. It was no wonder that Lu Feng valued him so much, “I’m not sure
about the specifics. I’ll have to do a detailed examination before making a
plan…”
Wei Xiao bit down on his lower lip, “Thank you.”
He repeated these words from the bottom of his heart, “Thank you!”
After hanging up the phone, Wei Xiao couldn’t even wait another second.
He dialed Lu Feng’s cell phone, “Captain…” There was a trace of crying
that he couldn’t keep from his voice.
Lu Feng had just come out of the bathroom. His eyebrows furrowed,
“What’s the matter?”
Wei Xiao: “Where are you?”
Lu Feng hadn’t yet opened his mouth when Wei Xiao asked again, “In your
room?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao didn’t even hang up the phone. He was too impatient to wait for
the elevator, and directly climbed up from the second floor to the fifth floor.
He was out of breath by the time he opened up the door to Lu Feng’s room.
Lu Feng had gotten dressed. He came over to support him, “What’s the
matter?”
Wei Xiao’s forehead was covered in sweat. The hand holding Lu Feng’s
arm trembled slightly, and his speech was interrupted with intermittent
gasping, “Doctor Chen… she….”
Lu Feng understood.
Wei Xiao looked up. His pair of eyes were brighter than the sun outside,
“She told me that your shoulder can be cured!”
Wei Xiao stared straight at him, “It’ll only take two to three months. You
can recover completely in two to three months!”
Lu Feng raised his hand and gently brushed aside the sweaty hair over his
forehead, “But for these two to three months, I would have to stay at the
hospital.”
Wei Xiao froze.
Lu Feng continued, “I won’t be able to play a single game in these two to

three months.”
This was a difficult problem for Lu Feng
Recovering from his shoulder injury would only take two to three months.
But he didn’t have that long.
Lu Feng had known about this half a year ago, but he couldn’t leave.
He was FTW’s captain, the core of the team, and the head of the entire club.
If he left for two months, there would be no FTW by the time he came
back.
His shoulder would be healed, but he would have nothing.

Lu Feng spoke gently to Wei Xiao, “So, you don’t need to worry. My
shoulder injury really isn’t that serious.”
He continued, “It’s just giving up the singles competition. I’ve already won
three titles. It’s enough.”
Wei Xiao stared at him without blinking, “One regular season.”
Lu Feng stilled.
Wei Xiao clenched his fists, “It’s only one regular season, and you’ll be
able to recover completely!”
“The registration time for the singles and doubles competition is in the
playoffs.”
Glory’s competition system went like this. The competitions in each

competition zone were divided into the regular season, the playoffs, and the
divisional finals.
The regular season only had 5v5 games.
The singles and doubles competitions didn’t require a cycle for gaining
points. It was a BO1 elimination game right off the bat, so the lead up time
was very short and the top eight could be determined in just a few days.
So, the real registration time for the singles and doubles competition took
place after the regular season!
Wei Xiao looked at him and repeated in a voice that was almost pleading,
“Captain, it’s only one regular season!”
If he missed out on one regular season, the recovered Close could take part
in the singles, the doubles, and 5v5!
In the 2021 global finals, Close could reunite with his old teammates, fight
to the bitter end, and leave no regrets behind!
Lu Feng’s heart beat very fast. With Wei Xiao looking at him like this, he
was almost about to agree.
But…
“What if FTW fails in the regular season?” Lu Feng’s voice was hoarse.
With Close not there, what if FTW toppled in the regular season?
This year’s China competition zone couldn’t be underestimated. Regardless

of whether it was RR, TPT, or 3U, they were all extremely fierce.
The number of teams who could make it to the global competition were
limited.
The regular season points were crucial, and if FTW lost, they might lose the
chance to compete globally.
How could Close give up the long-awaited team competition for the sake of
the singles competition?
It was impossible.
FTW needed the team competition championship too much.
Wei Xiao had already calmed down.
He knew all of the captain’s concerns.
The captain’s shoulder could be healed, but he had no time.
At least, during this season, he didn’t have time.
The domestic regular season lasted for nearly three months. If Close left the
team to treat his shoulder, then came back, it really didn’t appear to affect
anything.
But the premise was that FTW had to obtain good results during the regular
season first!
Not just top four in their group, but number one in their group!
Only when they were first in their group could they enter the winners
bracket in the playoffs.
Only the winners would have enough points.
The division champion would definitely be selected for the global

competition, and the rest of the quota would be allocated based on the point
rankings during the entire season.
The regular season, the playoffs, the finals…
It was all linked up. If FTW failed in the regular season, the consequences
would be unimaginable.
Lu Feng couldn’t take this risk.
He didn’t want to win another single person championship.
Wei Xiao bowed his head, his voice calmer than ever. “I want to watch you
play the singles competition, I want to play the doubles with you, and I
want to accompany you to win a third championship!”
Lu Feng’s scalp was turning numb with his words. He lowered his voice,
“Wei Xiao…”
Wei Xiao suddenly raised up his head and looked straight into his eyes.
“Don’t you want to? Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun, and Xie He will all sign up
for the singles competition. Don’t you want to fight against them?!”
“Don’t you want to play in the doubles? Don’t you want to tell the whole
world that Quiet can cooperate with you?!”
“Don’t you want FTW to win a triple championship? Don’t you want us to
make history and become legends?!”
Lu Feng couldn’t say a word.

Wei Xiao leaned into him, closed his eyes, and kissed him on the shoulder,
“Believe in me.”
For this regular season, I’ll support FTW.
xiin: Old Dog Yuan is useful for once… there’ll be daily releases for Glory
from today onwards! happy new year, everyone! hope 2021 is much better
for everyone than 2020 was~
Ch103 - I won’t leave you.
The early morning sun lit up the room.
Lu Feng lowered his gaze and looked down at Wei Xiao’s trembling
eyelashes that seemed coated with light.
His kiss was very light, and it was over a layer of clothing, but the heat
seemed to penetrate through everything, imprinting on Lu Feng’s heart.
Lu Feng pressed Wei Xiao into his arms and kissed him on the forehead, “I
believe you.”
Wei Xiao looked up at him, his eyes twinkling with joy, “So…”
“But.” Lu Feng’s words went back to the original subject, his voice hoarse,
“Little Xiao, this year is really important for FTW.”
The joy in Wei Xiao’s eyes faded, but they were still shockingly bright, “If
it’s very important, then it’s even more important for you to get it healed!”
Lu Feng held his hand and led him over to sit down, speaking to him
slowly, “I believe in you, and I believe in the current FTW, but I can’t
leave.”
Wei Xiao was anxious, “Why!”
Lu Feng didn’t look at him, “Only North America has this rehabilitation
physiotherapy.”
Wei Xiao froze.
Lu Feng felt distressed for him, but there were some words that had to be
said.
Wei Xiao had a relatively practical temperament. Some things had to be
explained to him clearly.
Lu Feng also didn’t want to hide these things from him.
“In fact, my shoulder doesn’t affect normal life. I can ignore it completely.”
“The treatment in North America is still at the clinical testing stage. It’s
hard to say if it will be successful or not.”
“… I can’t rest assured about leaving for two or three months.”
If the treatment could be done domestically, even if it required

hospitalization, Lu Feng wouldn’t be so hesitant.
But going abroad was too risky.
This meant that he wasn’t just leaving the team. He was leaving the entire
club behind.
Lu Feng couldn’t leave.
These were things that Wei Xiao hadn’t expected. He just thought that Lu
Feng would be temporarily unable to play in the competitions, and just
needed to rest and recuperate properly. Unexpectedly…
Lu Feng stroked his delicate cheeks, “Be good, during this season, we’ll…”
Wei Xiao didn’t make a sound. He dropped his gaze, and his shoulders
trembled.
Lu Feng was filled with heartache as he kissed his eyes, “Don’t cry, Little
Xiao, don’t cry because of me.”
He just wanted to give him happiness, wanted to see him happy. He didn’t
want to be his source of pain.
Wei Xiao was silent for half a beat, and his voice trembled when he spoke,
“I’m scared.”
Lu Feng was stunned.
Wei Xiao looked up at him, then poured out all his worries, fears, and
insecurity, “What if it… what if it gets more and more serious? After this
season, if-if it can’t be cured, then what? What-what if you can’t even play
5v5 in the future, then what!”
Lu Feng’s heart shook. Countless emotions surged up into his throat,

blocking him from saying anything.
Wei Xiao’s thin lips trembled, and he fell into the quagmire of fear, “You
keep saying that it’s not serious, but there’s still a whole year to go. During
this year, we have to keep playing training matches, keep participating in
competitions, and run around everywhere… How many players get so tired
out that they develop occupational diseases? You’re already injured, and if
you let it remain for another year, can it even be cured?!”
This was what Wei Xiao was most afraid of.
This was what Wei Xiao was most unable to accept.
This was what made Wei Xiao feel most uneasy.
“Captain…” He had tears in his eyes as he looked at Lu Feng hazily,

“Could it be that you only want to play for this one year?”
Lu Feng’s face turned white, and even his lips grew pale and colorless.
Wei Xiao leaned his forehead against his healthy right shoulder and
whispered, “I’ve just come back to the team, and you’re going to leave me
behind.”
This was what weighed most on Wei Xiao’s mind.
He was eager for Lu Feng to play in the singles, and he was looking
forward to playing the doubles competition with him, and he wanted to win
three championships.
But what he longed for most was Lu Feng.

He was afraid, afraid that Lu Feng’s shoulder injury would become more
serious.
He was scared, scared that the two of them could only play together for this
one year.
He was uneasy, uneasy about missing out on everything before it had all
begun.
Close.
He was only 21 years old.
Why should he have to end his career so early!
Why should such an excellent person have to leave his most beloved arena!
Why should the Close who’d worked hard for so long, kept guard for so
long, and paid out so much, have to become a bystander in the game!
A long time later, Lu Feng finally raised his hand and gently stroked Wei
Xiao’s back.
He kissed the salty tears on his face and spoke in a hoarse voice, “I’m
sorry.”
Wei Xiao closed his eyes and didn’t say a word.
Lu Feng’s kisses slid down little by little, going from his eyes, to his
cheeks, and finally stopping at his lips.
Wei Xiao opened his eyes and bit his lips.
Wei Xiao half knelt up on the sofa and pressed him down against the back
of the seat.
He kissed Lu Feng, kissed him forcefully, his actions messy, unbridled, and
unusually rude. He seemed to be venting his emotions and swearing
sovereignty.
Lu Feng let him kiss as he liked, and even though the taste of blood spread
out in his mouth, he let him continue to bite at him like a small animal
Wei Xiao kissed him while crying. He made no sound, and there was only
unspeakable pain.
“Captain,” He finally stopped, pressing his forehead against Lu Feng’s,

“Please…”
These two words were as quiet as dust, but they hit Lu Feng’s heart like a
heavy hammer.
Wei Xiao seemed to be using all the strength in his body to say, ”Please
don’t leave me behind.”
Lu Feng held his waist and picked him up. Wei Xiao’s eyes opened wide,
and by the time he came back to his senses, he’d already been set down on
the soft bed.
Lu Feng held the hem of his clothing and took off his shirt.
Wei Xiao was dazed for a moment and couldn’t quite regain his wits, “Ca-
captain…”
He’d seen Lu Feng’s figure before. He looked thin when wearing clothing,
but there was substance to his figure when he was stripped down. From this
perspective, his shoulders, chest, and abdomen left a great visual impact.
Lu Feng leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
Wei Xiao instinctively wrapped his arms around his neck.
A heated kiss was followed by more intense kisses.

Lu Feng didn’t say anything. He used countless kisses to tell Wei Xiao how
much he cherished him, how much he loved him.
Wei Xiao was flustered, “Don’t, there…”
But he couldn’t stop it. He could just feel a warmth that made his scalp go
numb.
Wei Xiao couldn’t take it, and it didn’t take long before he lost control.
He covered his eyes with his forearm, “Captain…”
Lu Feng coaxed him, “It’s alright.”
Wei Xiao’s brain was blank.
Was it over?
No, Lu Feng was still kissing him.
Wei Xiao couldn’t refuse, but he also couldn’t bear it. He didn’t know how
many times it was, but he was already sobbing incoherently.
Lu Feng finally pressed in close to his ear and said, “I won’t leave you.”
Wei Xiao opened his eyes, trembling violently.
Lu Feng gave him both verbal and physical stimulation, “I will be with you
until the very end.”
The last word fell, and Wei Xiao’s body and mind both felt an indescribable
happiness.
Wei Xiao fell asleep.
Fatigue and satisfaction piled on top of each other and doubled up, and he
fell into a deep sleep.
Lu Feng kissed him on the brow, got dressed, and went downstairs.
Half a year ago, Doctor Chen had told him that there was a new
physiotherapy technology in North America that was specifically aimed at
chronic injuries caused by external forces.
At the time, FTW had just won the domestic competition and entered the
global competition. Lu Feng had said that it was impossible to treat
anything at the time.
Later on, FTW had done a round trip at the globals, but Lu Feng still had to
stick around waiting for the singles competition finals. The end of the year
arrived in a flash.
The off-season only lasted for a little over a month. Could Lu Feng get
treatment then?
The answer was still no.
In recent years, FTW had always been in turmoil. How could Lu Feng leave
for two months?
Not to mention, he would have to answer to the fans for going away for
such a long time.
What could he say?
Tell them that he was going in for treatment?
In that case, the whole FTW would be broken up.
FTW couldn’t bear such a withdrawal of capital and definitely couldn’t bear
it if the partners dissolved their contracts.
Lu Feng could only hold on. He held on until Ning Zhehan joined the team,
until Wei Xiao came back.
The winter training had undoubtedly made FTW famous within China, and
Wei Xiao’s outstanding performance had attracted countless people’s
attention.
The most important thing for e-sports clubs were their achievements,
followed by their star players.
There was no doubt that Wei Xiao had infinite potential in both aspects.
He had good results, he was very popular, and he was just like a dark horse
storming into the China competition zone.
Could Lu Feng let go now? Could he go and heal his shoulder, get rid of
this old injury, and face the global competitions in his best state?
Before now, Lu Feng had thought that he couldn’t.
But…
Wei Xiao’s words had woken him up.
––Could it be that you only want to play for this one year?
––I’ve just come back to the team, are you going to leave me behind?
No.
Lu Feng didn’t care about missing the opportunity to fight against the Team
of Gods, and he didn’t care about who won the doubles championship.
But, he couldn’t not care about Wei Xiao.
He’d brought Wei Xiao back, and he didn’t want to play with him for only
one year.
Wei Xiao was only 19 years old. His competitive career had only just
begun, and he was unwilling to withdraw from the competition arena.
Lu Feng didn’t want to watch Wei Xiao’s brilliance from beneath the stage.
He wanted to stand on the stage with him!
Lu Feng didn’t know what would happen if he continued to let his shoulder
injury drag on.
He’d already put it off for a long time. Even if he kept exercising, even if he
was self-disciplined, even if he had regular physiotherapy, it was still
deteriorating.
It was just like Wei Xiao had said.
After playing this year, what would he do if his shoulder worsened to the
point where it couldn’t be cured?
Was he willing to retire? Was he willing to let Wei Xiao go?
He wasn’t willing.
Lu Feng dialed Xiang Liu’s phone number, “Contact the coaching team, I
have something to tell them.”
In order to go get treatment, he would first have to have a showdown.
FTW was bound to usher in a huge shockwave.
Yet, Lu Feng wasn’t worried. Wei Xiao’s bright eyes flashed in his head, his
gaze as bright as the sun, and his heart warmed up.
After walking alone for so long, he was finally no longer on his own.
There was silence in the conference room.
Lu Feng’s understated explanation of the facts shocked everyone present.
Chen Feng’s face was snow white, with no trace of color, “Wh-when did it
start?”
He’d been with Lu Feng for three years, from the start of the new FTW.
He’d always been here, but he’d actually never known about Lu Feng’s
injury.
He was in a trance, and for a moment, he couldn’t hear anything around

him.
Tang Chen was a little calmer. He asked Lu Feng, “Do you have confidence
in the treatment?”
Lu Feng: “70%.”
The entire room sucked in a breath.
Xiang Liu had been worried for so many years, and he now finally had a
chance to speak up, “70% is already very optimistic. Even if you can’t
recover completely, it’ll still be in a much better state than it is now!”
Chen Feng slowly came back to his senses, “If it’s like this… the regular
season…”
Lu Feng looked at Tang Chen, “Brother Tang, can you still play?”
Although Tang Chen has retired, he hasn’t yet gone through the formal
processes.
At present, FTW was still short of a substitute. Chen Feng intended to have
Tang Chen wait another season.
A team had to have a substitute, but it had already been a pleasant surprise
for FTW to be able to recruit Ning Zhehan and Wei Xiao this year, and
there was no way for them to come up with a good enough substitute.
The players in the second team would still need another year to step up to
the task.
At present, Tang Chen was the best candidate. So, Chen Feng had been
putting it off and hadn’t let him finish the retirement process.
Tang Chen replied, “Yes.”
Lu Feng nodded.
Normally, Tang Chen was the most careless player in the whole team, but
after playing for so many years, he was now undoubtedly the most
experienced and seasoned player.
While Lu Feng wasn’t here, FTW would be a little more stable with Tang
Chen holding down the fort.
Chen Feng took a deep breath and analyzed calmly, “This year’s regular
season is different from previous years. It’s very important.”
This was also the reason why Lu Feng had been so worried before.
During the regular season in previous years, as long as they made it to the
top four of their group, they would be able to enter the playoffs.
The playoffs were based on an elimination system, going from eight into
four, and four into two, and then the final two teams determined the
champion and runner up positions.
However, this year, the competition committee had made changes in order
to enhance the intensity of the regular season, and make it more fun to
watch.
The concept of a winner group and a loser group came into being.
The top two teams in the regular season groups were in the winners group.
The third and fourth placed teams were in the losers group.
After the winner group teams entered the playoffs and competed, any team
that lost would fall into the loser group.
The losers would compete. If they lost again, they would be eliminated, and
their season would end there.
So, those in the winners group would have two chances to enter the
playoffs.
Unfortunately, falling into the losers group would be very miserable for any
team. Not only would they have to play more games, each fight would also
be a game between life and death.
The addition of this new competition system made the regular season very
heated.
Those who’d originally wanted to use the regular season for training no
longer dared to take it lightly because every point was crucial, and every
change in the rankings affected their final chances at victory.
There was a difference between first and second place, and there was also a
difference between third and fourth place.
A team’s performance in the regular season was no longer something that

could be taken lightly. Instead, it was now a benefit that was linked to the
team’s fault tolerance rate in the playoffs!
To put it bluntly.
If FTW won the first place in their group during the regular season, then the
playoffs would be easy mode for them.
If FTW came fourth in their group during the regular season, then the
playoffs would be hell mode.
Not to mention…
It wasn’t that easy to enter the top four.
If they fell to the fifth, sixth, or seventh places, would they even need to
talk about the global competition?
They wouldn’t even be able to play in the divisional championships.
The author has something to say: I’m afraid that you guys won’t
understand… Well, they didn’t ‘do’ it all the way, but why is Little Xiao so
tired? [old driver warning]
xiin – WX will wake up and revert back to energizer bunny mode~

Ch104 - Wei Xiao: Tell me loudly,
what place do we want to get!
Wei Xiao woke up.
The blackout curtains were pulled down, and the room was dark besides a
small dimly-lit floor lamp. There was a high backed chair and several
magazines on the table beside it.
Wei Xiao’s eyes moved around slowly. He took in the low stool, the navy
blue and milk white carpet, and the wall painting of a sunrise over the sea…
“!”
He was in the captain’s room, lying on the captain’s bed. Earlier…
Wei Xiao’s face flushed red.
It was the first time he’d experienced such a thing in his life.
After thinking about it for a moment, his face was completely red. When he
thought about it in detail… Wei Xiao drilled into the quilt and became a
silkworm pupa.
The captain was so amazing…
No, wait…
Why had the captain made him come so many times.
Towards the end, his legs had been all soft and weak.
It wasn’t that he was hopeless, why was it… that he couldn’t help himself at
all…
Wei Xiao didn’t dare to think about it anymore. He buried his face in the
quilt and made his face even redder.
When he finally recovered from the heat that suffused his face, Wei Xiao’s
thoughts went back to proper things.
They had a training match in the afternoon!
Wei Xiao jumped out of bed, his feet bare as he stepped on the carpet, and
he finally found his pants on the stool at the end of the bed as well as the
cell phone stuffed into his pants.
He opened it and took a look, and then his head spun dizzily––
It was three o’clock!
He’d actually slept in for the training match. Why hadn’t the captain come
to wake him up?
Wei Xiao quickly got dressed. He walked past the dressing mirror on the
way out and stopped abruptly.
In the mirror, he was wearing his own trousers, but he’d also pulled on the
captain’s t-shirt. The clothes looked just right on the captain’s body, but it
seemed a little loose and empty when it was on his body. His figure
couldn’t hold it up at all, but he wasn’t much shorter than the captain. There
was just five-six-seven-eight centimeters of height difference!
Oh, but his figure was a long way off.
The scene of Lu Feng leaning over him, propped up on his arms, flashed
past Wei Xiao’s brain…
“F*ck!”
Wei Xiao patted himself on the face––

In his brain, it was ‘want more’ vs ‘going to die from too much sex’.
Since he’d worn the wrong clothing, he naturally had to get changed again.
While changing, he finally noticed the red spots on his neck.
Wei Xiao cleared his throat, then pulled the team uniform’s neckline up to
the highest level. He wished that he could even put on a hat.
That would have to do. He had to hurry downstairs; he’d slept too well this
time!
Wei Xiao’s mood was completely bright and optimistic.
The gloom from before had been swept away, and his mind was filled with
the brilliant road ahead.
As long as the captain went to get treated, as long as it was cured, nothing
else was a problem.
During the regular season, he would definitely be able to lead FTW to the
first place position in the group.
In the playoffs, he would definitely hand over an FTW that was in full
swing back to the captain.
After that…
Not only would he be able to see the captain take the singles championship
from the other ex-players in the Team of Gods, he could also play in the
doubles with the captain. They could also stand together on the 5v5 decisive
stage and create a new legend for Glory!
When he thought of these things, Wei Xiao’s blood was boiling and he
wished that he could go and play 10,000 games right now!
Well, this year’s domestic competition zone was pretty good. There was
Little Moon-moon, Eurostar-star, Asleep-sleep, all these good men that he’d
trained up.
––Finally, the Wei Xiao who’d returned back to China for a little more than
ten days was completely invigorated.
Wei Xiao pushed open the door to the training room and was given a scare
by the silence inside.
The coach and captain weren’t there, and the three little ones all sat in front
of their computers in a daze.
They were all startled as soon as the door opened, especially Little Ning,
who quickly avoided his gaze as soon as he saw that it was Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao: “?”
Yue Wenle bowed his head, staring at his keyboard like there were
countless potato chips there just waiting for him to pick them out.
Wei Xiao’s line of sight swept across, and he looked at Brother Cai.
Bai Cai: “!” He instantly straightened up and sat properly.
Wei Xiao walked over, “What’s the matter?” Wasn’t there a training match
in the afternoon?
Ning Zhehan’s head dropped even lower. Yue Wenle seemed just about to
gnaw on the expensive keyboard that had keycaps worth several hundred
apiece.
Wei Xiao asked, “I wasn’t here, so you guys were hammered into
seclusion?”
Today’s training match was against TPT. Although this year’s TPT was
very strong, it wasn’t to the point where FTW would become this downcast.
They’d just come out of the winter training camp. What kind of big ups and
downs hadn’t they seen? Even if Eurostar-star’s shooter was cunning, it
shouldn’t be as bad as Daddy Hyun, right?
Bai Cai’s mouth opened and closed, and he reluctantly forced out, “Ah, hey,
do you want to drink some watermelon juice?”
Wei Xiao became even more confused, “What’s going on? Old Bai, did you
stew and eat Soybean?”
What are you thinking? How would he make a move against his nephew?!
Cowering Ning was really afraid. He stood up and said, “I’ll-I’ll go and
squeeze juice for Brother Xiao!”
Yue Wenle kept his head bowed as he stood up, “I’ll go with you!”
Bai Cai didn’t want to be the one facing a crazy Wei Xiao alone. He
stopped them, “Don’t go anywhere!”
Ning Zhehan turned back, looking like he was about to cry.
Yue Wenle: “……” He also wasn’t far off from crying.
Wei Xiao looked here, then there, and then spoke solemnly, “Talk.”
Bai Cai’s heart trembled.
Wei Xiao was in a good mood at the moment, and even if the sky collapsed,
he would still have a smile on his face as he held it up, “What’s going on, it
can’t be that the coach is going to dismiss me from the team because I
overslept, right?”
Bai Cai looked at the Wei Xiao who could still joke around and felt that his
heart and lungs were in pain.
At this second, Wei Xiaoxiao could still act recklessly, but he might end up
crying in the next second.
Brother Cai couldn’t help but think back to an hour ago.

Chen Feng’s face was cold as he announced the news of the captain’s
shoulder injury as well as how he would be going for physiotherapy during
the regular season. They’d instantly felt like the sky was falling, and the
earth was breaking apart.
The coach had continued lightly, “Don’t worry. Captain Lu is going for
early treatment so that he can have an early recovery. Based on your current
strength, our domestic regular season will be child’s play.”
Ning Zhehan looked dazed.
Yue Wenle was dumbfounded.
F*ck. The first thing he thought of was Little Lunatic Wei. He thought
about how Wei Xiao would explode when he learned about it.
In the entire FTW, there was nobody who would dare to say that they
weren’t a brainless Close fan.
Oh, Wei Xiao wasn’t.
He was a serious brainless Close fan, the type for which there was no cure.
As soon as the news came out, ordinary brainless Close fans like them had
felt like the sky was falling.
As a critically brainless fan, how would Little Lunatic Wei collapse?
Bai Cai was afraid to even think about it.
Chen Feng finished explaining everything and said, “The training match for
the afternoon has been rescheduled. Everyone should have a rest.”
So, they’d sat in the training room like this until Wei Xiao pushed open the
door.
In that one hour of time, they’d sorted out their own emotions.
But when they saw Wei Xiao come in, the three little ones were once again
nervous enough to explode.
As brothers who’d ‘fought side by side’, nobody was clearer than they were
about Wei Xiao’s feelings towards Close.
They didn’t know where Wei Xiao had gone off to just now, causing him to
actually miss Chen Feng’s words.
They even seriously suspected that the coach had done so on purpose!
He must’ve deliberately diverted Wei Xiao so that they would have to face
this gale themselves!
Little Ning had already made up his mind that he wouldn’t speak up even if
he had to die.
Yue Wenle wished that he could shrink into a potato chip that had no sense
of existence.
There was only Bai Cai…
F*ck! He was just a weak, helpless, pitiful little support. Why did he have
to experience such a sea of hardships?
“Um…”
Brother White Cabbage’s heart was thudding hard, “Take a few deep
breaths with me first.”
Wei Xiao’s expression sank, “Speak human words.”
Bai Cai was wary of him, especially when he had a cold expression on his
face, “Don’t go crazy when you hear about this. We’re also very shocked,
but I don’t think that it has to be a bad thing, and there’s hope. As long as
we can survive for two or three months, our FTW will be the master of
tigers and wolves, indestructible and peerless…”
Brother Cai was regretting it, regretting that he hadn’t paid enough attention
in school and his vocabulary was so poor!
Bai Cai closed his eyes and got to the point, “The captain has a shoulder
injury. He has to leave the team and go to North America for treatment. It
can be cured in two months!”
He simply got straight to the point, stressing the last sentence. He wished he
could repeat it three times and use it to calm down Brother Xiao’s fierce
anger.
As soon as Bai Cai’s voice fell, Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle couldn’t keep
themselves from closing their eyes as well.
It wasn’t just out of fear, it was also out of heartache.
The stinging pain that they’d felt when they heard the news had to be at
least ten times more intense for Wei Xiao.
They all knew how important Close was to Wei Xiao.
They could all see how ‘infatuated’ Wei Xiao was with their captain.
The clearer they were about this, the more aware they were, the more
heartache and distress they felt for him.
The training room was quiet.
Brother Cai, who had his eyes closed, discovered that the volcano hadn’t
erupted, the storm hadn’t broken out, and it seemed that even the cold and
freezing weather hadn’t appeared.
He quietly opened his eyes and snuck a glance at Wei Xiao
Wei Xiao punched him lightly on the chest, “What?”

Wei Xiao’s voice held a trace of a smile, “You guys are afraid that I’ll be
sad?”
His tone was so relaxed that everyone slowly opened up their eyes and
looked at him in amazement.
Bai Cai asked him directly, “You… you already knew?”
Wei Xiao’s heart was warm when he saw them acting like this. His voice
also gentled, “Yeah, I knew.”
Brother Vegetable & Old Yue & Little Ning: “…………….”
Wei Xiao sat down in his chair, his pair of long legs propped up on a corner
of the table, his figure lazy and loose, “Don’t act like we’re at a funeral,
hey, the captain going to get treatment is a good thing. When he comes
back, our FTW will be the best in the world, we’ll kill gods when we meet
gods, and kill buddhas when we meet buddhas!”
The three little ones: “………………………”
Wei Xiao continued, “It’s just two or three months, just one regular season.
Fellow brothers, tell me loudly, what place do we want to get!”
Wei Xiao stared at them.
The three of them acted like they’d been targeted by a bandit leader and
spoke, “First…”
“Speak up.”
“First place.”
“F*ck, did you guys skip lunch?”
“First place!!!”
Bandit Wei was satisfied, “Great, I’ve recorded it.”
The three of them: “??????”
Wei Xiao was amused, “I recorded it in my heart.”
Bai Cai was going crazy, “Will you die if you don’t act like a brat?!”
A small puff of laughter escaped from Little Ning.
Yue Wenle’s expression also relaxed.
Wei Xiao set down his legs, placed his elbows on the table, and then spoke
in a low voice, “Let me tell you, I have a captain buff on me.”
Little Ning hadn’t seen much of the world and was instantly fooled, “What
do you mean?”
Wei Xiao shot Brother Cai a look.
Wei Xiao patted the table, “Little Bai, quickly explain it to everyone.”
Bai Cai: “F*ck your daddy!” He might swear, but he really did start to
explain, “You guys are young and don’t know about it, but two years ago
when Wei Xiao was in the youth training camp, as long as he led the team,
the team would definitely win, no matter who his teammates were.”
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle weren’t very clear about this period of history,
“Is that true?”
Bai Cai was also someone who had many tricks up his sleeves. He spoke
mysteriously, “It’s true… You guys also know how the youth training
camps are. Team combinations are randomized. If you end up with a
garbage teammate, they can drag you down to hell. But Wei Xiao refused to
back down, and one time, when he got a bunch of crappy teammates, he
actually managed to win an overwhelming victory!”
Uncle Wei nodded, then gestured for Brother Cai to continue giving Ning
Zhehan and Yue Wenle a general lesson on his ‘great achievements’ back
then, stabilizing the morale of the team.
Outside the training room.
Chen Feng had a stomach ache from trying to stifle his laughter.
Lu Feng looked at the unbridled youth through the crack in the door and felt
an infinite warmth in his heart.
When they arrived, Bai Cai had just spoken out the ‘truth’.
The atmosphere in the room hadn’t been very good, so they’d stopped
outside.
Then, they heard Wei Xiao’s voice––tell me loudly, what place we’re going
to take.
First…
First place.
First place!!!
It was still a cold winter and there was no hint of spring outside, but a
blazing sun had risen up inside––
Lighting up the entire base.
The three small ones were completely cheered up, and even Chen Feng felt
like the clouds hovering over his chest had dispersed.
The road ahead was very difficult, but what was there to be afraid of?
They had such a team, they had such a great group of young people, and
nobody could stop their high spirits!
The training match had originally been postponed.
But Wei Xiao complained that it was boring, and Xiang Liu went to contact
TPT so that they could bring back the scheduled training match.
The FTW that was in high spirits hammered TPT until they were bleeding
and dizzy.
In the TPT club, Eurostar-star turned his head to look at his own captain,
“Are they f*cking human?”
Fu Li pushed up his glasses and commented precisely, “A group of mad

dogs.”
When evening came, it was only ten o’clock when Wei Xiao urged Lu Feng
to go rest.
Wei Xiao had been serving him tea and water all night, his actions very
considerate and meticulous, “You still have to take a bath, and you’ll read
after your bath. Do you still have work to deal with…”
Brother Cai squinted at him, “Mother-in-law.”
Wei Xiao ignored him and continued to coax his captain, “Go, go, go, I also
want to sleep.”
Brother Cai poked at him again, “Can you even sleep?”
Wei Xiao glared at him, “If you say another word, I’ll take away your
purple clay pot.”
Bai Cai was shocked and quickly went to protect his treasure that was worth
3888 yuan.
After dealing with Brother Cai, Wei Xiao continued to watch Lu Feng
eagerly.
Who could stand this? Lu Feng’s thin lips moved, “Okay.”
Wei Xiao really did leave early, “Everyone should rest early. We’re going to
have a great start tomorrow!”
Tomorrow would be the opening game. Although the results didn’t matter,
it was still very encouraging for team morale if they won.
As soon as they left the training room, Wei Xiao’s hand slid down and
bumped against Lu Feng’s hand.
Their fingers intertwined.
Wei Xiao leaned against him, “Captain…” Now that he was in a good
mood, the tone of voice that scratched at his heart had come out again.
Lu Feng wanted to hear what he had to say, but he was also a little afraid,
“Hm?”
Wei Xiao looked around. When he saw that nobody was around, he lowered
his voice and said, “What you did in the morning, I’ll help you do it too.”
After saying so, his face was already explosively red.
Wei Xiao vowed seriously, “I can do it too, just… yeah… I can!”
The captain could do it, so he could too.
After taking a bath, Wei Xiao found that he couldn’t quite do it.
He knelt down on the bed and said incredulously, “It’s so big?!”
Sorry, he didn’t mean to, he’d been too arrogant!
With this…
Would he still be able to use his mouth to speak tomorrow?!
xiin: okay! we’re done with the angst~ (i also only really figured out it was
a blowjob after translating this chapter…)
Ch105 - Do you know why you
can’t sleep here now?
But there was no way to go back on what he’d said.
Wei Xiao’s character was the type where he had to do what he said, even if
it seemed like it would be fatal.
His heart thumped, and he was about to…
Lu Feng got up, and the two of them changed positions.
Wei Xiao toppled onto the bed and was stunned, “Ah…”
Lu Feng hugged his waist and flipped him over.
Wei Xiao knew what he was going to do, “No… captain… about that…
wu…”
Afterwards, Wei Xiao’s mouth was still very agile and sharp, but his legs
hurt, hurt to the point where he was moaning and groaning.
They hadn’t even really done anything, but he already knew how to act
coquettish and well-behaved. If they really did something…
Oh, he would probably not dare to moan and groan anymore.
He wouldn’t even be able to get out of bed!
To Wei Xiao, Lu Feng’s shoulder now seemed to be made out of crystal, the
ultra-thin kind that would shatter with a touch.
He was very careful and tentative during the day, and cautious at night.
Even when that happened, he would try to avoid it, and once he found that
Lu Feng’s shoulder was under any kind of stress, he would immediately
cooperate with him, acting so obedient that it made people wish they
could…
But Captain Lu couldn’t bear to do it. Taking a bite of his neck was already
his limit.
The two of them took another bath. After they came out, Wei Xiao swiftly
darted into the bed, drilling in until only his eyes were exposed and said,
“I’m going to stay here tonight!”
Wei Xiao accused him, “You can’t just tease and… wu…”
Lu Feng kissed his mouth, “You really dare to say anything.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved, “Isn’t it because you insist on driving me away?”
Lu Feng pulled him into his arms. Wei Xiao had a psychological shadow
about his shoulder and was flustered even when he pillowed his head on his
healthy right shoulder, “I can sleep on a pillow.”
Lu Feng pressed his restless little head down, “Behave.”
Wei Xiao discovered it, “… Damn, captain, you…”
Lu Feng: “… Shut up.”
Lu Feng stared at him, “Do you know why you can’t sleep here now?”
Wei Xiao’s legs still hurt. He shifted away from him slightly.
Lu Feng pulled him in close again, “Sleep.”

Wei Xiao was prodded until his heart and head all heated up, “Um…”
Wei Xiao licked his lower lip, “In fact, I can… ah…”
There was always someone to show him with their actions: In fact, you
can’t.
After Wei Xiao had washed up three times, he regretted it, “I’d better go
back to my room and sleep.”
Lu Feng held him by the waist, “If you say a little less, it wouldn’t happen
so much.”
By now, Wei Xiao had put his clothes back on properly and didn’t dare to
stick too close to him to ‘keep warm’ anymore.
After messing around like this, it was already almost twelve o’clock.
Lu Feng’s biological clock was very accurate, and he’d been briefly sated.
He gradually felt sleepy.
Unfortunately, Wei Xiao couldn’t sleep.
This wasn’t the time for him to sleep, and especially after he’d made up for
his sleep during the day, he was now filled with energy.
“Captain~”
“Mm.”
“Will you be leaving after the opening game?”
Lu Feng opened his eyes, “Basically.”
Wei Xiao really didn’t dare to pillow his head on his arm. The weight of his
head was on the pillow, but he was very willing to be held by Lu Feng. His
cheek pressed down, rubbing against his shoulder, “It’s going to be more
than two months.”
Lu Feng felt like his heart was being tickled by his actions, “Regretting it?”
Wei Xiao instantly looked up at him, “No way!”
Lu Feng’s eyes held a trace of a smile, “Can’t bear to part with me?”
Wei Xiao actually felt a little embarrassed. He rubbed against him again,
“Of course.”
Lu Feng’s heart felt like it had been smeared with honey. It was too sweet to
be true.
Wei Xiao spoke in a low whisper, “We haven’t been together for that
long…”
Even if they started calculating time from when he joined the team, it had
only been about a month. If they only counted the time after they’d gotten
together, then it was a pitifully small amount of time.
Especially since after they’d come back from the winter training, Lu Feng
had told him to participate in the singles competition resulting in a Wei
Xiao who had been sulky the whole time and hadn’t spent much time
hanging out with Lu Feng.
It hadn’t been easy for the two of them to work things out, but now Lu Feng
was going to go to the other side of the earth. How could Wei Xiao bear to
part with him?
He had never been the type of person to hide his emotions and would show
whatever he felt. The more he thought about it, the more reluctant he was to
part. The more he couldn’t bear it, the stickier he became. He was no longer
satisfied with just rubbing Lu Feng with his cheek and lifted his head up to
kiss Lu Feng.
Lu Feng’s eyes deepened slightly, his hands pinching Wei Xiao’s waist
under the quilt.
Wei Xiao cried out, then laughed, “Captain, you’re so bad.”
Wei Xiao was only bratty with his words. His legs were still a little afraid,
so he said honestly, “It’s a kiss… just a kiss, after you leave, it’ll be a long
time before I can…”
His heart felt sour as he spoke, and he hugged him more tightly.
Lu Feng was also reluctant to part. The arms that were hugging him also
exerted a bit more force, “Be good.”
He kissed him on the forehead.
Wei Xiao’s voice was muffled, “You have to recuperate well.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “Think about me every day.”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
“Send me messages when you have time.”
“Okay.”
“And voice messages.”
“Yes.”
“And videos!”
“Okay.”
“Also… and… wu…”
If he wanted him to sleep, then he had to tire him out.

Lu Feng could only ‘coax’ him to sleep like this.
Finally, they ushered in the opening game of the regular season.
The audience who’d been waiting for a long time arrived in the stadium
early, wanting to see their own ‘husband’, ‘big brother’, ‘cub’, ‘darling’ in
person!
FTW didn’t set out that early. The match was scheduled for six o’clock, and
they didn’t arrive until about five o’clock.
The team van drove to the back entrance staff passage, but there were still
some old fans who’d set up camp there.
They immediately began to scream when they saw the familiar license place
number.
“Close!”
“God Lu!”
“Captain Lu, Captain Lu!”
There was no doubt that all the fans were all shouting Close’s name.
It was very normal. The fans in the e-sports circle were much more realistic
than the fans in the entertainment industry.
It didn’t matter what they looked like; strength was the absolute truth. If
they were powerful, then they were handsome. If they were strong and
handsome, then… they deserved to have several hundred million fans.
In the car, Wei Xiao was sour and jealous, “He’s not your husband!”
Indeed, a girl had seen Lu Feng through the window and started screaming,
“Hubby, look at me, look at me!”
Brother Cai, who was in the front seat, heard this and sneered at him, “Your
last name is actually Chen, right.”
Wei Xiao: “?”
Brother Cai: “Nickname––Shanxi Old Chen’s Vinegar.”
Wei Xiao was naturally seated next to Lu Feng, but because everyone was
in the car, he didn’t even dare to hold his hand.
At this moment, his heart was sour, and his hands were no longer well
behaved.
How could Lu Feng not understand him?
He was wearing a black jacket today, but it was too hot and he’d hung it on
the hook of the seat in front of him.
Lu Feng tugged gently, draping his coat over his legs.
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng held his slender fingers, hiding their hands under the coat.
Wei Xiao was satisfied, his fingers scratching lightly against his palm.
Lu Feng pinched him.
Wei Xiao chuckled, the corners of his lips curved so high they could touch
the sun.
The Brother Cai who knew nothing came back to deliver them drinks, and
he saw Wei Xiao laughing, “F*ck, are you poisonous?!”
Wei Xiao’s smile disappeared in one second, “What.”
Bai Cai: “I called you old vinegar, but you’re still so happy?”
Wei Xiao was complacent, “You… don’t understand shit.”

What was omitted was––you single dog, you don’t understand shit!
Brother Cai didn’t understand him; Brother Cai probably couldn’t

understand him for a lifetime!
The organizers had requirements for formal competitions, and they’d

arranged for a make-up artist.
After all, the players would all be on camera. Even if it was a profession
that wasn’t based on their faces, it was better if they looked a bit more
handsome.
FTW’s make-up artist was very cheerful.
The make-up artist had endless praise for the five starters, “Your skin is so
nice, it’s even paler than mine after make-up, hey, Quiet, your face is so
tender, there’s no need for foundation; Close’s eyebrows are too stylish,
there’s no need to do anything extra…”
Later, it was only Yue Wenle who took a bit longer.
It wasn’t that God Le wasn’t handsome. In fact, Yue Wenle’s skin color was
the palest, and he was even a little bit paler than Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao was a clean, warm, pale color, while Yue Wenle was a kind of
deathly pale. The make-up artist had to put in a lot of effort to add some
color back onto his face.
In fact, over the years, the opening game had become more for
entertainment than a real competition.
There were no points for it anyway, and it was between the first place and
runner up from the previous year. Just having fun was enough.
However, it was different this year.
They didn’t know why, but as soon as FTW’s five players appeared, the
atmosphere in the entire venue changed.
The audience at the scene were shocked, “They’re so serious!”
“For some reason, I have the illusion that I’m in the audience stands
watching the finals.”
“Worth it, bought a regular season ticket to watch the finals.”
“Speaking up quietly, does FTW pick their members based on their

appearance?!”
Looking at them in reality at the scene, all of them had long legs and high
appearance values. Deadly!
It wasn’t just the live audience, even the people watching in the live
broadcast room had discovered it––
“They’re so serious, is FTW scared to lose?”
“After all, this year’s RR is very different. They won against EVE in the
winter training camp, which made them famous everywhere.”
“Is FTW under pressure? Maybe they don’t want to lose to RR?”
“Even if it’s just an opening game, and there’s no points for it, maybe they
don’t want to lose face as the champions.”
“Tsk tsk, it’s quite exciting.”
“I think that FTW’s just making a big fuss out of nothing. If they take it so
seriously, then lose, it’ll be even more humiliating.”
“Hahaha, does the R fan above feel good saying that? Your family’s Moon
God cares the most about winning and losing. Do those who lose their
temper when they lose not feel embarrassed dissing others?”
“So what if we lose our temper! It’s still better than your FTW’s bunch of
cowardly babies!”
“F*ck, how is our FTW cowardly? We…”

“If you guys have the skill, then win against L&P and win against Pro!”
“Didn’t you guys just win against EVE by fluke? And they’re last year’s
fourth place. R fans, don’t be so shameless.”
“So what if they were fourth place? It’s still better than you guys who took
advantage of other people’s bad states and ended up getting hammered by
God Kim!”
Tch, there was no doubting that the fans of both sides were tearing into each
other.
This was very normal. In the e-sports circle, regardless of whether they
were audience members or players, as senior participants in a MOBA game,
how could they survive without flaming each other?
The combat effectiveness of the scrolling comments was amazing. Even

before the competition began, the room management had already begun to
‘fight’.
They muted, banned, and cleared the screen, their hand speed no less than
that of professional players!
The players adjusted their equipment. The referees checked over their set-
up, and the commentators gave exaggerated praise at the front of the stage.
After praising FTW, praising RR, praising Close, and praising Moonlit.
They finally also took out the Porsche and joked about it.
Commentator A: “I heard that Captain Mo personally drove the car to the

FTW base?”
Commentator B: “Isn’t that so? FTW even invited him to stay for lunch.”
“This lunch was a little expensive, hey.”
“There’s no other way, who told White to reincarnate as the god of luck?”
Then, they started talking about the previous arena competition, giving a
round of praise to Quiet.
“Nine light arcs, that’s really good.”
“FTW’s future is impressive!”
“At present, out of all the players in all the competition zones, the only
players who are able to brush out nine light arcs are all in our China
competition zone.”
“Something to be proud of.”
The noisy fans in the scrolling comments all shut up. When faced with
absolute strength, any trash talk was nothing but paper tigers.
No matter whose fans they were, they had to admit that Quiet had been
explosively badass that day.
In particular, that direct video that FTW’s official blog released––
The cool youth showing off his operations online, it was so cool it made
their legs go soft.
Nine light arc was synonymous with Close
Now, his successor could also do it.
The FTW’s inherited shadow thief was worthy of its reputation!
The scrolling comments had shut up, but there was a different atmosphere
in the FTW team chat––
Chen Feng: “Quiet, do you want the shadow thief?”
Today, Wei Xiao was a little cub who spoiled his captain like crazy, “Let’s
see what the captain uses.”
He could play with anything. He wanted to cooperate well with the captain
and fly together with him in the canyon.
Brother Cai glanced at him, “You don’t want to show off your nine light
arcs again?”
It had only been a solo game before. If he could show it off during the
opening game, it would become a very thorough explosion.
Wei Xiao: “Um…”
Brother Cai rolled his eyes, “Enough already, the whole internet knows that
you’re badass. Quiet, you don’t have to put on an act.”
Wei Xiao blinked his eyes, “Um…” He was serious, “Which one of you can
tell me, how did I manage to do nine light arcs?”
Wei Xiao was still humbly asking for advice with an open mind, “I watched
the video, and I watched the broadcast replay, but the problem is… I really
don’t remember how I managed to do nine light arcs.”
He really was confused. That day, he’d just learned about the captain’s
shoulder injury. He’d been so sad that he didn’t even remember how he’d
hammered Moonlit to death.
After the event, a whole group of people praised him for being amazing.
Only then did Wei Xiao realize that he’d brushed out nine light arcs.
But the problem was…
How had he done it?!
Brother Cai almost smashed his face into the keyboard, “You f*cking…”
The recordings from the team chat would be edited and released.
Wei Xiao: “It’s okay, this section can be broadcast. I, Quiet, can sit right
here and brush out nine light arcs with my eyes closed, but I’ll never admit
that I brushed them out with my eyes open.”
Brother Cai was about to kneel down in respect, “When it comes to acting
badass, I only respect Brother Xiao.”
xiin: apparently WX’s voice really turns LF on… *spreads hands*

Ch106 - The double jungler CP is
real.
Wei Xiao was too lazy to explain.
Explaining was like covering up, and what he would be covering up was the
truth.
He had indeed used nine light arcs, even though he didn’t actually know
how he’d done it.
The first wave of banned talents was finished. It was time to start choosing
talents.
FTW didn’t ban the immortal warlock, but RR had banned it themselves.
Wei Xiao: “Little Ning, they’re scared that you’ll use it.”
Ning Zhehan: “I… How can my immortal warlock compare with Moon
God’s?”
Wei Xiao: “Be a bit more confident. Where’d your confidence go?”
The entire team was amused. Chen Feng glared at him, “That’s enough
from you.”
With this brat here, even a problem as big as the sky didn’t seem that big!
As soon as the news of Close temporarily leaving the team was released
after the opening game, the fans would probably lose it completely.
And it would be interesting when they went back to rewatch the opening
game––holy shit, your captain is about to leave, but you guys can still
laugh?
Should it be said that FTW was unconcerned, or should it be said that they
were very unconcerned?
When he thought about it like that, Chen Feng felt that it was a little funny.
“Come on,” He turned his attention back to the BP process, “What do you
want to use?”
Everyone named their own heroes, but when Lu Feng spoke up, it made
silence spread out across their headsets.
“I’ll use the shadow thief.”
Chen Feng paused for a moment, “You’re going to play jungler?”
The position each player would play in each round of a formal competition
had to be submitted before the start of the game and couldn’t be changed on
the spot. Of course, it didn’t matter for the opening game, since they didn’t
have to follow the rules so strictly for an entertainment game.
Wei Xiao: “Alright, captain, you want to play jungler? I can go to the top
lane!”
This was Lu Feng’s first game in the domestic regular season, and it might
also be the last. If he wanted to use the shadow thief to give his fans a
display, it would be pretty good!
Lu Feng shook his head, “Not playing jungler.”
Wei Xiao: “Eh?”
Lu Feng even made it a point to repeat deliberately, “I don’t like playing

jungler.”
Everyone understood what he meant when he said this.

The team chat wasn’t a private chat channel, and if it wasn’t dealt with well,
it might cause malicious speculation.
Lu Feng had changed from playing jungler to the top lane, and even now,
there were still people who hated on Quiet, saying that he’d snatched away
Close’s position.
Lu Feng was saying these things to defend Quiet and also clarify the
situation for him.
Wei Xiao’s heart thumped, and his mouth turned bratty, “So it turns out you
don’t like me.”
Without waiting for the others to express their silence, Wei Xiao continued
talking, “I’m a jungler. You actually don’t like me.”
Queen Chen was getting angry, “Wei Xiao.”
Wei Xiao: “Eh!”
Chen Feng: “Say another word of nonsense, and I’ll get you a holy priest
for your jungler position.”
Wei Xiao was shocked, “I was wrong, I’m sorry, please forgive me!”
Chen Feng snorted coldly and asked Lu Feng, “You’re going to use the
shadow thief for the top lane?”
Lu Feng: “Going to give it a try.”
Chen Feng: “Fine.”
Wei Xiao couldn’t hold back, “Then, I’ll use the power thief?” The power
thief was a little tankier, and he could ‘support’ the captain.
Chen Feng stared at him.
Wei Xiao quickly shut up and made a zipping up motion at his mouth,
“We’ll do everything according to the coach’s words, I’ll play whatever you
choose.”
It had to be said that Wei Little Xiao was very good at coaxing people.
Chen Feng only maintained his cold expression for three seconds, and then
broke down, “Use the immortal thief.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes opened wide, “This… is it suitable?”
Chen Feng: “Is it that you don’t believe in yourself, or that you don’t
believe in your captain?”
In the game, it just happened to be Wei Xiao’s turn to pick a talent. He

instantly picked the immortal thief, then said a sentence that was as
immature and lame as could be, “Alright, then! Two thieves coming into the
world, going up against the heavens and the earth!” It almost rhymed.
Even without mentioning how much the FTW’s internal team chat could
make their ears ache, their choice in heroes had also blown up the whole
venue.
“What does this mean?”
“Who’s using the shadow thief, who’s using the immortal thief, who’s
playing jungler?”
These three soul searching questions had obviously knocked everyone out.
At first, when FTW took the shadow thief, it didn’t come as a surprise to
anyone. After all, Quiet had just shown everyone nine light arcs, and it was
normal to have him show it off again in a formal arena. Everyone was
looking forward to it.
They couldn’t hear the team chat, and they didn’t know that it was Close
who wanted to use the shadow thief.
If they knew, the live stream studio would’ve blown up long ago.
The two sides picked a round of talents, and there were no surprises until
Wei Xiao, who was the last one in FTW, picked out the immortal thief.
The scrolling comments were also confused, “Um… did Quiet’s hand slip?”
During the BP section, each player would choose talents according to their
randomized position in the BP link, and it wasn’t necessarily the talent they
would be playing themselves.
After the entire BP ended, they would be given 30 seconds to adjust talents.
Based on the situation they could see, they’d chosen two jungler talents in
one game. No matter how they adjusted it, it was clearly… not quite right!
“They can’t have really made such a low level mistake, right?”
“F*ck, could this be FTW’s new routine?”
The CP fans mixed in, “Oh my god, is the double jungler CP real???”
“It’s locked in and can’t be changed, aren’t they just teasing the audience
like this!”
“Shocked, shocked, quickly tell me who is using the shadow thief, and who
is using the immortal thief. Who is playing top lane, and who is the
jungler?”
Nobody had ever expected that although Close and Quiet were only two
people, they were still able to make the audience think so much and
speculate so many things.
The commentators were also very excited. They used more professional
language and a sharper angle to analyze FTW’s unconventional routine!
The 30 seconds of adjustment time ended, and their line-up was confirmed!
FTW: Shadow thief, Immortal thief, Light mage, Elemental shaman, Frost
hunter.
RR: Death knight, Berserker thief, Spirit mage, Holy priest, White hunter.
Nobody had time to analyze the line-up anymore. Their eyes and hearts
were all filled with––
“Close is the one playing the shadow thief!”
“Close is going to use the shadow thief to play in the top lane!”
“Holy shit, the shadow thief can be used for the top lane?!”
“My goose bumps are all popping out, the great demon king is really too
bold.”
“Thinking about it carefully… the top lane is a place with infinite

possibilities!”
“Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, this ticket price is damned
worth it!”
The opening game was being watched by countless people, and various
teams were also very curious about it.
2021 was an extraordinary year for the China competition zone.
With the rise of the new generation, those who’d performed well during the
winter training camp had all handed in beautifully written exam results,
giving the audience in China a feeling of unlimited expectations.
There was always the feeling that there was new hope for China this year.
There was always the feeling that they could expect more from China this
year.
There was always the feeling that the China competition zone, which had
been in a slump for several years, would regain its glory!
With this belief, all eyes were on the first match of this new season.
They wanted to see what kind of sparks would fly out when the two teams
at the top of the China competition zone collided!
Needless to mention, FTW had always been a pure jungler core team.
Regardless of whether it was during the Close era, or after Quiet had
entered the stage, they always used the jungler as the core to light up fires
everywhere.
RR was different. Their biggest core was Moonlit.
Moonlit was a mid-laner, and there weren’t many teams who used mid-
laners as their core. For example, the most famous one was EVE, where Xie
He as their mid-laner could carry the entire arena.
Money was RR’s jungler. This player’s most famous attribute was that he
had money, but they all had to admit that he was the soul of RR.
If he hadn’t gone to RR, this team would be a bottom of the class team with
no achievements.
After Money had joined the team, the Moonlit who’d still been ‘wandering’
around on the international servers had caught his eye. Money ignored his
team’s opposition and forcibly pulled the inexperienced Moonlit to the
youth training camp. After practicing with him for less than a month,
Money brought Moonlit back to RR and made him into their starting mid-
laner.
At the time, nobody had been optimistic about Moonlit, because Asleep and
Eurostar, who were from the same period, were much better than he was.
However, Money was only interested in Moonlit and coaxed him endlessly
to join RR.
As it turned out, Mo Hui had a good eye, and Moonlit was indeed the most
suited for RR.
A team that lacked a pillar needed a ‘piercing thorn’ like Moonlit who
could hamstring the enemy more than anything else!
RR’s play style was something that FTW had also studied.
Their strongest play style was their mid-jungler linkage, which was Money
and Moonlit’s cooperation.
Chen Feng told Ning Zhehan, “Be careful, they’ll definitely try to get you
in the first wave.”
Ning Zhehan: “Got it!”
Chen Feng then looked at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao spoke up first, “Little Ning, I may have to wrong you in this
game.”
Timid Ning’s heart thudded: What-what was the situation?
Wei Xiao stared at the shadow thief on the screen and said, “I’m going to go
and explode their top lane with the captain.”
He spoke this sentence very calmly, but it had a very great impact on Ning
Zhehan.
There wasn’t anyone in the new generation who didn’t worship Close, and
there was nobody who didn’t look forward to seeing his shadow thief.
As soon as he thought about how this might be the captain’s only game
during the regular season…
Ning Zhehan spoke solemnly, “Don’t worry about me!”
Play happily, show off to the fullest extent, and he would try his hardest to
defend the mid-lane!
Wei Xiao: “In that case, I won’t be polite.”

In this game, he wanted to be with Close. He wanted to see what a jungler
who matched Close looked like, and he wanted to have the whole world
know what FTW’s top-jungler linkage was like!
Lu Feng: “Let’s go, red buff first.”
Wei Xiao stared at the screen, “Okay.”
The red buff they were referring to wasn’t FTW’s red jungler buff, it was
the other side’s red jungler area!
If they didn’t go into their enemy’s jungle right at the start of the game, how
could they blow up the entire field!
The audience had god’s perspective and could see things very clearly––
“They went, they went, the shadow thief and the immortal thief charged
straight into RR’s red jungle zone together.”
“It’s really true that you see more the longer you live. Having a shadow
thief and an immortal thief in the same team can even be seen in a
professional competition setting.”
“Seriously, is the shadow thief now able to play in the top lane?”
“Nobody’s used it before.”
“That’s because Close’s shadow thief is too ingrained in everyone’s

cognition!”
Yes…
Close’s shadow thief was basically tied with the jungler position.
Everyone who saw the shadow thief would think of playing jungler. It
wasn’t just the audience; even countless players had this idea fixed in their
minds.
However, the Close who’d taken the shadow thief and shown them miracles
was taking the shadow thief to play in the top lane!
“RR also started with the red buff. Mo Hui took his support with him and
cleared out the three stone men.”
“This positioning, they’re about to step into their field of vision.”
“Moonlit and Ning Zhehan are exchanging health in the mid-lane.”
“The spirit mage is clearing soldiers slowly, and Ning Zhehan’s light mage
can delay him!”
“A fight at level one, FTW’s top-jungler against RR’s jungler-support!”
The commentators were very reserved, but the audience was already in high
spirits.
“Aahhhh, great demon king’s shadow thief!”
“It’s too handsome, I can’t do it, I have 80,000 filters for Close’s shadow
thief.”
“To be honest, I feel that Captain Mo has gone too far…”
“The kind where Moon-moon won’t be able to save him even if he

followed.”
“The immortal thief is moving!”
Under normal circumstances, RR’s support would follow Money. After they
cleared the soldier line, they would start to go to the top and bottom lanes to
start ganking. However, today’s RR had arranged for their support to follow
Money in order to defend against the two thieves entering their jungle at the
start of the game.
RR’s support was very clever, and he had put vision in the right place with
his keen perception.
Unfortunately, he’d underestimated the two power of the two thieves.
Wei Xiao had leveled up his first skill, a movement skill. The first section
was for movement, the second one took him straight into their face, and the
third one reinforced a set of ordinary attacks for an explosive amount of
damage.
And then there was Close’s shadow thief. He used his passive to sneak into
the grass, and when RR’s support went to defend against the immortal thief,
his skill landed right on Money.
Money: “Laozi is going to open the door and throw money away!”
Moonlit: “I won’t be sending you off.”
Money gave himself extra sound effects, “Ah… er… plop… thump…”
Besieged by the two thieves, Money successfully contributed the super

valuable first blood.
RR’s support player was also very cruel, and he was merciless in selling off
his own captain. Seeing that Money had no way to turn the tables, he’d run
away swiftly, arriving at the mid-lane in the blink of an eye.
Wei Xiao sensed it, and reminded Ning Zhehan, “Be careful, Moonlit’s
going to go for you.”
Captain Mo had died, and Moonlit definitely wouldn’t be reconciled. Their

support player had obviously arrived at the mid-lane in order to help
Moonlit control Ning Zhehan.
Lu Feng and Wei Xiao quickly divided up RR’s jungle zone between them.
Wei Xiao said, “Captain, I’m going to the lower field area.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
As Wei Xiao had expected, Moonlit had taken his support to give Ning
Zhehan a wave of pressure.
But Little Ning reacted quickly enough, handing over his flash just in time
and managing to survive with a sliver of health.
FTW had taken a huge advantage at the start of this game!
They’d taken First Blood, snatched up half of the other side’s jungle, and
their farm was now 1000 gold ahead!
RR’s team chat.
Money tsked, “So fierce. It’s no wonder that Old Fu said that the current
FTW is like a group of mad dogs.”
Moonlit: “Then we’ll let them see who’s crazier.”
Money was amused, “You want to screw Close?”
Moonlit asked back, “Who doesn’t want to screw Close?”
The author has something to say: Wei Xiao: ??? [flipping the table in anger]
Do you all think I’m dead?!
Ch107 - Wait For Me
Money: “Damn, that’s true.”
RR’s support player’s nickname was Brother Dog. It wasn’t really because
his character was very much like a dog, even though that was kind of the
case.
The main reason was that his ID was ‘Dog’. If they didn’t call him Brother
Dog, then how could they pay respects to his ‘doggy’ heart.
Brother Dog wanted to act like a hero, “Charge! Our goal today is to screw
over the great demon king!”
RR’s top-laner was crying so much it was like he was made out of tears,
“Then you guys should come quickly, I’m about to get screwed to death…”
As a self-reliant top-laner, life was too hard.
Things were fine before; why did Close have to stop playing jungler? Why
did he have to come up to the top lane?
And he even took the motherf*cking shadow thief.
As everyone knew, death knights had the advantage over shadow thieves.
But now… why was he so scared that he was hiding under the tower and
trembling?!
RR’s top-laner’s heart was bitter. “I, this death knight, don’t care about my
dignity anymore!”
The viewers had also noticed the trend behind RR’s actions.
“They’re going to go mess with the great demon king.”
“They should screw him, they have to screw him. If they don’t take
advantage of the time when the shadow thief hasn’t reached level six to
suppress him, who will dare to go up to the top lane in the later stages?”
“Why is it that my shadow thief just dies when it sees a death knight?”
“That’s why you’re not the great demon king.”
The commentators were also very optimistic about RR’s current actions.
“Quiet has to go and clear out his jungle. Otherwise, he’ll be wasting farm.”
“This is a fantastic opportunity. RR’s mid-laner and support can charge up

to the top lane, and in a three against one situation, even Close will have to
be pushed back beneath his tower.”
“Based on Close’s current positioning, is it that his teammates didn’t give

him any signals?”
Ning Zhehan had sent over a signal. He’d carefully probed the area, and
after discovering that there was nobody in the middle lane, he’d
immediately reminded them, “Captain, there’s nobody in the mid-lane!”
Brother Cai had checked out the bottom lane and immediately replied,
“There’s nobody in the bottom lane.”
Then where had Moonlit gone? It could only be the top lane!
Wei Xiao was killing small jungle creeps, and he was an entire map away
from the top lane. It was impossible for him to go up and provide support.
What’s more, he shouldn’t go up even if he could, because there were still

many jungle creeps to kill, and if they weren’t all cleared, they wouldn’t
refresh. Wasting this round of farm would be a very serious mistake.
Ning Zhehan: “I’ll go to the top lane!”

Lu Feng: “Stay in the middle lane and push forward.”
Wei Xiao also added, “There’s three of them up there.”
Lu Feng said three words to him. Wei Xiao was stunned for a second, then
swore, “F*ck!”
Close was really worthy of being Close.
Close’s shadow thief really went up against heaven and earth!
Everything took place in just an instant. Moonlit and Brother Dog made
their way to the top lane and crouched behind the shadow thief.
Even though he clearly knew that they’d arrived, Close didn’t retreat.
Instead, he continued to pressure the death knight’s health.
The death knight was crying really loudly, “Come on, come on, I can’t hold
on, I’m going to die, I…”
Moonlit ignored the sound of chatter in his ears, staring unblinkingly at the
shadow thief in the canyon.
A level five shadow thief didn’t have its ultimate move and couldn’t brush
out light arcs. As long as he went forward a little bit, just a little bit, he
could…
“Go!” Moonlit found the right time.
There was no cooldown time for the shadow thief’s first skill that Close had
on hand, and it could be used constantly.
However, the shadow thief had a limited amount of mana. If they dragged it
on like this, he wouldn’t be able to use it that many times!
The live stream camera was focused on the canyon’s top lane. FTW’s
shadow thief had just been suppressing the death knight when RR’s spirit
mage and holy priest suddenly revealed themselves.
Everyone in the audience held their breath.
“Oh, my god, they’re going to surround the great demon king and beat him
up, how exciting!”
“Screw him, screw him, screw him, I want to see the great demon king
topple to the ground!”
“What’s FTW’s mid-laner doing? Why isn’t he going to provide support?!”
“It’s bad enough that he didn’t give a signal, he’s not even going to help out
when they start fighting?”
“There’s no point in going, right? Close is definitely going to die. If Ning

Zhehan goes, he’ll just be sending them another kill.”
“But he could at least clear out the soldiers from a distance and protect the
top lane tower.”
“How should I say it… FTW seems a little overconfident?”
The commentator was still sharper than the audience. He said directly, “Cut
to the perspective of the bottom jungle zone.”
The camera gave everyone a panoramic view, and everyone’s goosebumps

popped out again.
“Quiet is soloing the small dragon!”
The ancient creature in the lower jungle zone was a cute little green dragon.
The green dragon was the ancient creature’s early state. It had no horns on
its head and only dealt a low amount of damage. Taking it down alone was
very easy.
But…
After this small dragon was killed, the benefits would go to the whole team!
In other words, once Wei Xiao killed the small green dragon, Lu Feng, who
was in the top lane, would also gain an increase in experience and money.
After the commentator assessed the situation, he provided the audience with
an answer, “Little Green gives enough experience for the shadow thief to
reach level six, and the money he obtains will be just enough for a level two
iron sword.”
As soon as these words were spoken out, the audience who were watching
from god’s perspective understood.
“Shit! A level six shadow thief will be able to stack light arcs.”
“The great demon king wants to take down three people on his own, so he
told Ning Zhehan not to come support him?”
“Can he do it, can he do it…”
“If it’s nine light arcs, then there’ll be no problem with dealing damage!”
Based on RR’s current situation, it looked like it was three against one, but
in fact, the death knight only had a bit of health left and couldn’t hold up at
all.
Moonlit and the holy priest were in full health, but these two talents had a
very low initial health maximum, and the holy priest who didn’t yet have its
ultimate move only had mediocre healing.
The great demon king still had the purification skill on hand. As long as he
could reach level six, he could definitely brush out his light arcs under a
state where he couldn’t be controlled…
FTW.Quiet killed an ancient creature.
As soon as the announcement rang out, RR’s entire team felt cold.
Money: “Badass.”
Moonlit: “……”
Brother Dog: “F*ck, is there enough time if I start running now?”
Like hell was there enough time. As soon as Little Green fell down, FTW’s
entire team soared up by one level. The shadow thief that had originally
been level five made it precisely to level six. What was more deadly was
that Little Green had given Lu Feng gold. A little less wouldn’t have been
enough, and a little more would’ve been useless, but it was just enough to
let him build a core equipment piece.
Their brains reacted, but their bodies couldn’t move.
The great demon king had obviously been planning this for a long time. He
started up a series of moves, and just at the moment when his mana reached
the bottom, the sky filled up with light arcs that lit up half the canyon.
The little brother in charge of the broadcast was very skilled. He locked the
camera on the shadow thief, showing the close-up plus 3D imaging and
showing the gorgeous crimson cape that covered the whole lens.
The commentators spoke incredibly quickly, analyzing the entire situation

almost instantaneously.
There was no doubt that the death knight would fall first.
With one less person to share the damage, Moonlit’s health plummeted.
Brother Dog’s hands moved quickly, and he poured all of his heals into
Moonlit’s body like crazy.
Unfortunately, it was useless…
This damage was too high. Although there was still a gap between the
current light arcs and the damage that could be dealt out in the later stages,
it was already enough to abuse the squishy spirit mage and the beautiful
sister holy priest.
FTW.Close killed RR.Xing.
FTW.Close killed RR.Moon.
FTW.Close killed RR.Dog.
FTW.Close triple kill!
The light arcs faded and the shadow thief’s scarlet cloak fluttered down,
leaving only the canyon that was as silent as death.
1v3, triple kill!
The entire scene blew up.
“Close is amazing!”
“The shadow thief is so cool!”
“Shit, Laozi’s going to go back and practice the shadow thief. Damn it, it’s
so handsome that my heart can’t stand it.”
“Hello, hello? Game planning? There’s a daddy here, hurry and nerf him
down!”
Wei Xiao didn’t care about propriety at all as he blew out rainbow farts over
the headset, “Damn, it’s too handsome!”
Ning Zhehan was also very excited, “Explosively strong!”
Wei Xiao: “Captain, captain!”
As he cooperated with Yue Wenle and Bai Cai to pressure RR’s bottom
lane, he asked, “Teach me, teach me, what do I have to do to brush out nine
light arcs?”
Lu Feng: “Brush them with your eyes closed.”

Everyone in FTW roared with laughter.
Brother Cai almost sprained his foot: Sorry to disturb everyone, but their
FTW’s inheritance wasn’t the shadow thief, it was the ability to act badass!
FTW’s momentum in this game was unstoppable. They crushed their

opponents all the way from start to finish.
After RR stumbled in that 3v1, they were never able to stand back up again.
Moonlit managed to find good opportunities a few times and killed Little
Ning twice, but it was useless as they simply had no way of holding down
FTW’s double thieves.
As Wei Xiao had said, he focused on the top lane in this game and beat up
RR’s top-laner Xing Kai until he wanted to shut himself up.
Xing Kai: “Captain, they’re targeting me!”
Money: “That’s right.”
Xing Kai: “???”
Money comforted him, “In any case, you’re not worth any money anymore.
There’s no difference between dying once or dying ten times.”
The poor death knight cried like a child.
At first, the scrolling comments were still flaming RR, saying that RR were
noobs and that they didn’t know how they’d won against EVE. Was it all
based on luck? Moonlit wasn’t that good, and was RR’s death knight the
reincarnation of a vegetable melon? Other than money, Money didn’t have
anything else, right…
Later on, everyone stopped flaming.
Because anyone who wasn’t blind could understand.
It wasn’t that RR was weak, it was that FTW was too strong.
It wasn’t that Moonlit wasn’t excellent, but that the great demon king was
too amazing.
It wasn’t that the death knight was a reincarnated vegetable melon, it was…
anyone would close themselves up if they were faced with this shadow
thief!
The game was originally intended as an entertainment game anyway.

Towards the end, everyone just focused on enjoying the nine light arcs.
“I don’t know why, but I feel like the great demon king is indulging his
fans.”
“Yingyingying, it turns out that Close’s nine light arcs really are something
he can do casually whenever he wants to.”
“Language teacher, I was wrong. I have to go back and study hard, because
other than ‘ahhhhh’, I have no other words in my vocabulary.”
Finally, the two sides had a team fight. FTW annihilated everyone in RR
and stormed straight to the crystal.
The word ‘Victory’ popped up on the screen.
Wei Xiao turned his head to look at Lu Feng: “Captain…”
Lu Feng also looked at him, his thin lips moving––I don’t like the jungler
position, but I like you.
Wei Xiao: “!”
He understood!!!
Lu Feng was once again the emotionless great demon king when he faced
the camera. It was as though it had been someone else who’d said those
words.
Even if Wei Xiao’s boldness was enough to cover the sky, he still didn’t
dare to act up at this time.
Of course, no matter how much he suppressed it, he still couldn’t keep the
corners of his lips from curving up in a smile.
Both sides stood up, heading over to shake hands and exchange bows.
Moonlit’s eyes were staring at Close, and his insistence that he refused to
accept defeat was practically written on his face.
Wei Xiao blocked his gaze.
Moonlit looked at him.
Wei Xiao shook his hand, “It’ll be my turn next time.”
Moonlit held tight to his hand, “Next time, it’ll be me.”
Wei Xiao competed with him over hand strength, “Dream on.”
Moonlit refused to accept defeat, “Wake up.”
From beside them, Money laughed loudly, then led away his own primary
school chick, “Alright, alright, the next time will be during a formal game.”
Wei Xiao went back to his captain’s side, but he couldn’t hold hands with
him.
At the end of the opening match, FTW had launched out the most
resounding rocket of the new season.
The entire network was filled with FTW, they were all in high spirits, and
everyone was looking forward to seeing FTW make its way back to the
peak this season.
The hot searches went up one by one.
FTW, Close, great demon king, top lane shadow thief.
Each and every one of them involved Lu Feng, and they were all related to
him. The fans who’d been suppressed for a long time finally saw the onset
of dawn this year.
The real great demon king would come out and crack down on the global
games!
There were no more games after that. When everyone in FTW was back in
the team van, Xiang Liu spoke up, “Everyone should uninstall Weibo
temporarily.”
These words were very obscure, but everyone understood.
The official blog had sent out an announcement.
Just when all the fans were boiling with excitement, FTW’s statement on
their official blog was like adding water to hot oil, almost blowing up half
the Glory circle.
FTW Club: Due to the aggravation of a shoulder injury, team member

@FTW.Close will be leaving for North America for treatment. Thank you
for everyone’s attention and support. Please look forward to the king’s
return two months later.
It was a very simple statement, but it managed to confuse everyone.
There was no doubt that the countless fans who saw this piece of news had
still been filled with enthusiasm one second prior, but in the next second,
they’d all burst into tears.
Wei Xiao didn’t uninstall Weibo. He saw the crazy comments that followed,
read the countless queries and cries.
Close had a shoulder injury.
Close was leaving the team for treatment.
The man who’d broken open the Glory of the China competition zone with
his nine light arcs that night had been fighting while injured.
Wei Xiao felt his nose grow sour as he continued looking.

It wasn’t just him. Bai Cai, Ning Zhehan, Yue Wenle, all of them were red-
eyed.
The most excellent Close, the most powerful Close, the Close who’d
guarded FTW with his own strength… had to leave the field at such an
important moment, at such a critical time.
The fans cried.
They cried, too.
All the people who loved Close had no way to control their tears.
Lu Feng forwarded the announcement and left three words––
Wait for me.
xiin: well…. LF is leaving, but don’t worry, he’ll show up often. have you
tried long-distance dog food before? because you will now! (another good
example of long distance dog food is RMLE~ it might be a bit angsty for
those of you who follow my translations for fluff, but the MC and ML had
the cutest long distance phone calls)
Ch108 - Glory’s Mic Explosion
King
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
First, there was the hot-blooded opening game, and then there was FTW’s
deep-water torpedo, setting off wave after wave and leaving the China
Glory circle dumbfounded.
At first, the fans burst out in tears, and then the anti-fans poked their heads
up and began to stir up the muddy waters like crazy.
If there were enough Close fans to make a circle around the earth, then
there were enough anti-fans to make one and a half circles around the earth.
As a man who’d stirred up the bloody rain in the Glory circles, those who
loved him loved him all the way down to their soul, and those who hated
him hated him all the way down to their bones.
No matter how hard Xiang Liu worked to control the comments, he

couldn’t hold back the haters who crowded together to apply pressure.
“Close is only 21. How’d he get a shoulder injury so serious that he has to
leave the team for treatment?”
“If you can’t afford to lose, then just say it directly. Why put on such a
miserable act?”
“Wake up, other than acting miserable, what else can FTW do? They’ve
done this for three years. They’re probably unable to keep going on this
year or something.”
“Laozi even thought that FTW was going to rise up this year. Like hell.
Isn’t this just abandoning ship and running away?”
These were already considered good. There were more malicious ones later
on––
“I’ve felt that things were weird ever since Quiet joined the team.”
“If there’s nothing going on, why change junglers? Lu Feng must’ve seen
that FTW can’t continue on and was planning to find someone to take
over.”
“FTW was already setting this up when they announced that Close would
be switching to the top lane. He’d played jungler for four years, then said
that he’s not suited to play jungler. Who would believe that?”
“He just wanted to find a way to step back, waiting for an opportunity to
walk away.”
“That’s great. The contracts with their partners were signed earlier in the
year, and they’ve already made enough money.”
“There’s no need to think about it. Two months later, FTW will send out a
new statement––Oh hey, the treatment didn’t work, Close’s shoulder can’t
recover, and he has to retire.”
Conspiracy theories, paranoia, and keyboard warriors emerged in an endless

stream.
The fans who’d originally already been confused became even more of a
mess when faced with these comments.
From the crying at the start to the questioning that followed, and then to the
state where they were on the verge of collapse; even if FTW’s PR
department was powerful, they were a bit unable to hold back the tide.
Until the professional players started forwarding Weibo posts.

First came the retired veterans, and then the popular newcomers, and then
the new generation of immature future stars.
Everyone forwarded the same content. It was a simple but direct sentence––
Waiting for your light arcs to fill up the sky.
In the face of doubt, chaos, and the anti-fans who were fishing in troubled
waters, strength was the strongest umbrella.
We’ll wait for your return.
Wait for you to light up the canyon with nine light arcs.
A man who could casually brush out nine light arcs, a man who was still at
the peak of the competitive arena, a man who’d just crushed his opponents
in a 1v3 in the canyon.
How could you say he was weak?
What gave you the right to suspect him?
Why would you think that he wanted to retreat? Why would you vilify him
and accuse him of wanting to give up the game!
How could such a powerful player, a player who was still indomitable when
he was in poor physical condition, stop when he was so close to that
ultimate glory?
Countless professional players stepped up and stabilized the fans’ hearts

with their respect for Close that came from the bottom of their hearts.
Close wasn’t going to retire.
Close wasn’t running away.
Close was using a short departure to bring back even more brilliant and
spectacular glory!
At this time, the Glory competition committee also released the team chat
recordings from the opening game.
The editor of Glory’s Mic Explosion King was also a loyal fan of Close. He
cried as he edited, and worked overtime to release the voice clips.
“I’ll use the shadow thief.”
“Use the shadow thief for the top lane?”
“Give it a try.”
“Is it that you don’t believe in yourself, or that you don’t believe in your
captain.”
……
The team chat voice clips came out, and countless people poured in to
listen.
The fans came to find comfort, and the anti-fans came to see the
excitement. Everyone was very curious; they wanted to know what the
mentality of the team members who’d long known that Close would be
leaving the team would be like.
Were they depressed?
Were they downcast?
Were they charged with energy and momentum, just wanting to win the
game with all their strength?
Or were they dejected? Confused? Helpless?
And then––
“It’s okay, this section can be broadcast. I, Quiet, can sit right here and
brush out nine light arcs with my eyes closed, but I’ll never admit that I
brushed them out with my eyes open.”
“So it turns out you don’t like me, I’m a jungler, so you actually don’t like
me.”
“Captain, captain, give it to me!”
In the video, the shadow thief was helping the immortal thief beat up the
blue buff monster.
“Captain, I want it…”
The immortal thief in the canyon was eating the shadow thief’s medicine
pack.
“Captain, you don’t love me anymore, you only have Moon-moon in your
eyes!”
Oh, this was when the immortal thief couldn’t get the kill for Moonlit.
The fans who had tears welled up in their eyes and had used up a few
packages of tissues with their crying, “???”
The gossip watching passersby who’d pre-cut their melons and prepared
their melon seeds, “???”
The anti-fans who’d loaded up their bullets, set up their cannons, arrayed
themselves majestically and were ready to start flaming, “???”
What the hell was going on here!!!
Was FTW depressed and downcast?
All they could hear was them going crazy, acting reckless, and going wild!
Were the players dispirited, confused, and helpless?

All they could hear was ‘hahahahahahahahahahaha’!
Oh, they’d guessed one thing right––FTW did want to win this game.
But other than this point, they’d overthought everything else!
By the time RR’s voice chat was released, the fans’ tearful emotions had
completely melted into smiles.
Money: “You want to screw Close?”
Moonlit: “Who doesn’t want to screw Close?”
As soon as these two sentences came out, the comments in Glory’s Mic
Explosion King had already been taken over by ‘6666’, ‘hahahaha’, etc.
The atmosphere in FTW’s team chat was the best heart tonic.
Wei Xiao’s ability to drive the atmosphere spread through the entire
internet, making many fans laugh and giving the crowd of anti-fans no way
to continue.
If FTW was depressed, they would stomp on them further.
But FTW’s mentality was excellent, so they stopped.
It sounded ironic, but the reality was also that ironic.
It was the restless person whose ID was ‘Quiet’ who’d quietly brought the
events of that night to a climax.
FTW.Quiet: @FTW.Close, we’ll be waiting for your return with first place
in our group.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. The fans who’d quieted down
slightly were instantly stirred up again.
“Is Quiet serious?!”

“Can our FTW take first place in their group in the regular season?!”
“Are they so confident even without Close?”
Wei Xiao didn’t reply to any of them––
There was no use in saying anything, they just had to do it. He was a
pragmatic person.
The captain had already made up his mind to go abroad and treat his
shoulder. How could he not perform well?
Getting number one in the regular season would be the best gift to welcome
Close back with!
When they returned to the base, FTW didn’t arrange any organized training.
Everyone played ranked games as they liked, or rested if they wanted to
rest. Chen Feng didn’t manage them much.
Wei Xiao was now the most careful person, “Captain, it’s time to sleep!”
Lu Feng: “It’s not that serious.”
Wei Xiao himself got up first, “When you’re better, I definitely won’t let
you go to sleep so early.”
Lu Feng looked at him, “Hm?”
The captain obviously hadn’t said anything, and his gaze was also calm and
indifferent, but Wei Xiao could hear something else from this extremely
subtle tone.
For example, when he was messing around last night and didn’t sleep, the
tone the captain had used after he’d ‘coaxed’ him to sleep.
F*ck!
Wei Xiao blushed.
Brother Cai was clueless, but he still interjected, “Old Wei, do you know
what you look like right now?”
Wei Xiao, whose back was to Bai Cai, looked like a little spicy crayfish.
Brother Cai: “You look like the captain’s caring little babysitter!”
Lu Feng had a smile in his eyes. He stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
Brother Cai glanced at Wei Xiao as he was waiting for his next game, and
then…
What the hell? What, what the hell?!
Wei Xiao could blush?
Wasn’t it just a babysitter? His expression didn’t even change, nor did his
heart jump when he had called him a little wife!
What was there to be shy about?!
Brother Cai firmly believed that he’d gone blind.
Wei Xiao didn’t understand what Bai Cai was saying at all. When he got out
of the training room, he hooked his hand into Lu Feng’s.
Lu Feng held his hand back.
Wei Xiao lowered his voice, “What if we’re seen?”
Lu Feng: “It’s okay.”
Wei Xiao’s courage fattened up again, and he leaned in close to him,

“You’re leaving tomorrow.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “Tonight…”
Lu Feng’s throat convulsed, “Little Xiao.”
“Don’t.” Wei Xiao couldn’t bear to hear his voice like this, “It makes my
legs soft.”
Wei Xiao deliberately repeated it, “When you call me like this, it makes my
legs go soft.”
Lu Feng couldn’t stand it. He dragged him to the back stairs and kissed him
against the wall.
After waiting for an entire day, their lips finally collided together.
Wei Xiao gasped loudly, “Let’s take a bath together.”
Lu Feng kissed his earlobe.
Wei Xiao’s entire body quivered, “I-I can’t wait anymore.”
The time it took for this bath was a little long. By the time they came out,
Wei Xiao was leaning against Lu Feng, and if it weren’t for Lu Feng’s
shoulder injury, he would’ve asked him to carry him.
Lu Feng liked him like this. Delicate kisses landed lightly from time to
time.
After being satisfied, Wei Xiao hid in the quilt and kissed him.
Bit by bit, little light touches.
It was playing, but there was also a bit of an attempt to comfort his own
heart and unwillingness to part.
Two months really wasn’t a long time.
They’d missed out on each other for two years. Two months now was
nothing in comparison.
What’s more, Lu Feng was going for treatment. It was a good thing, a
positive thing, and it mustn’t be delayed.
However, no matter how much he understood these things, his heart was
still reluctant.
He wanted to see him every day, wanted to be able to kiss him every day,
wanted to hold him every night.
Even being heart to heart wasn’t close enough. How could he stand being
thousands of miles apart?
Wei Xiao didn’t send Lu Feng off.
He’d insisted on going, but Lu Feng had refused.
Chen Feng dragged him away and asked, “Are you not going to play in the
training match?”
Wei Xiao looked pitifully at the captain, and Lu Feng almost kissed him on
the spot.
“I’ll call you when I’m settled in.” Lu Feng spoke to him quietly.
Wei Xiao corrected him, “Call me when you land.”
Wei Xiao had a stomach full of words he wanted to say, but unfortunately,
he could only stare at him like this while they were in public.
Lu Feng shifted his gaze again, “Go back inside.”
Wei Xiao called him again, “Captain!”

Wei Xiao ultimately wasn’t able to hold back, “I’ll miss you…” I’ll miss
you so, so much.
Xiang Liu, who knew something about their relationship, started sweating.
He was worried that the internet that had finally calmed down would blow
up again.
And it would be because of this kind of ‘scandal’.
Brother Liu: “We’ll-we’ll all miss Captain Lu!”
Chen Feng picked up the conversation, “Enough, when your captain comes
back, he can even accompany you to solo day and night.”
It was unknown if this was an answer to Chen Feng, or Wei Xiao.
After sending away Lu Feng, Wei Xiao’s heart felt empty.
Their training match that evening was very quiet. Chen Feng asked him,
“Do you want to take the shadow thief?”
Wei Xiao: “Oh.”
Brother Cai glanced at him, “Can you be a little more promising, just based
on your current appearance, how will we get first place in the group!”
Then, during their training match with RR, Wei Xiao used the shadow thief
and brushed out nine light arcs.
Brother Cai: “………………”
Did the face slapping have to happen so quickly?!

RR base.
Brother Dog yelled, “Ban the shadow thief, in the future, we’ll send the
shadow thief up to the ban position anytime we encounter FTW!”
It was too toxic, he was going to be f*cking traumatized!
After the training match, Bai Cai poked Wei Xiao, “Not bad, you can brush
out light arcs as you like.”
Wei Xiao turned his head blankly, “Ah?”
Bai Cai’s heart thumped briefly––damn it, it can’t be that this fellow’s nine
light arcs can really only be brushed out with his eyes closed, right?!
After his spirit spent 12 hours outside of his body, a transpacific phone call
activated Wei Xiao again.
Lu Feng’s voice was a little hoarse, “Awake?”
Wei Xiao was instantly filled with energy, “You’ve landed?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
“Captain,” Wei Xiao blurted out the words in his heart, “I miss you.”
Lu Feng: “Mm, me too.”
Wei Xiao still wanted to say something else, but he heard Lu Feng continue,
“I wish I could fly back to see you now.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
F*ck, the captain was too wicked!
‘Ding’ ‘Ding’ ‘Ding Ding’...
Wei Xiao hadn’t slept all night and was still in the training room. His
computer hadn’t been turned off, and the sound was from a private chat
channel in the game.
It hadn’t been easy for him to wait for Lu Feng’s call, so he definitely
wasn’t going to pay attention to anyone else.
But Lu Feng heard it, “You haven’t slept all night.”
Lu Feng: “Go sleep.”
Wei Xiao: “No way!”
He glanced at the computer out of the corner of his eyes and saw the
messages.
Yuan ‘not a person’ Ze: “Your captain came to North America?”
“F*ck, he has a shoulder injury?”
“He’s two years younger than Laozi, he actually overworked his shoulder?”
“Little Close is no good.”
“That’s not it, if he’s coming to North America, why didn’t he contact me?”
“Give me his phone and flight number. I’ll go pick… cough, I’ll go laugh at
him!”
apricot: oo Yuan Ze the tsundere~ how cute haha xiin: ahhh ~ i feel like the
Glory Mic Explosion King too, crying while translating the chapter
@[email protected]
Ch109 - Wei Xiao: Close is very
good.
On the other end of the network cable, Yuan Ze looked at the last sentence
he’d sent out, “…What kind of garbage speech to text recognition is this!”
He’d used the game’s own voice to text private message sending function.
When he’d spoken, he’d only thought that it would save him trouble, and
afterwards, he’d used a professional player’s superfast hand speed and
instantly sent it out.
And then… he’d slipped up.
Wei Xiao hadn’t been happy seeing Marshal’s ID.
When he saw him say that Close was no good, he was even more angry.
Until the last sentence––
The obedient voice to text had exposed Yuan Ze’s slip very clearly.
Now, this was a great turn of events since private chat messages in the game
couldn’t be withdrawn!
Lu Feng could hear Wei Xiao’s laughter, “What’s the matter?”
Wei Xiao cleared his throat and read it out, imitating Scum Man Yuan’s
voice, particularly when it came to the last sentence, “Give me his phone
and flight number. I’ll go pick… cough, I’ll go laugh at him!”
There was special emphasis placed on the last sentence, that misspoken
word.
Lu Feng’s low laughter came from the other end of the phone.
Wei Xiao’s ears trembled, “Is someone picking you up?”
As it happened, the city where Lu Feng was staying was the city where
L&P was located.
Lu Feng replied, “Yes.”
Wei Xiao was relieved, “Then, should I give Yuan Ze your phone number?”
Lu Feng: “No need.”
Wei Xiao was quite surprised, “You’re in the same city, but you’re not
going to meet up?”
The more he understood Lu Feng, the more Wei Xiao was certain that he
felt none of the rumored prejudice against the Team of Gods.
It could even be said that Lu Feng attached great importance to his former
teammates, even Dog – not human – Yuan.
Lu Feng said, “I have his contact information.”
Wei Xiao tsked, “Old Dog Yuan really isn’t anything good.”
Look, they’d been separated for three years, but Lu Feng still had Yuan Ze’s
phone number, while Yuan Ze didn’t even have Close’s.
Lu Feng didn’t explain much. He coaxed him, “Go sleep.”
Wei Xiao’s tense nerves loosened, and he also started to feel tired, “Call me
when you settle in.”
Lu Feng: “I’ll send you a WeChat message.” If Wei Xiao was sleeping, a
call would wake him up.
Wei Xiao insisted, “A voice message.” He wanted to hear his voice.

How could Lu Feng not indulge him? “Mm.”
The two of them hung up the phone, and Wei Xiao sent a message back to
Yuan Ze, “You don’t need to pick him up, someone’s already picking him
up.”
Yuan Ze: “………………”
Wei Xiao: “Not giving you his phone number, stop trying to hook up with
my captain.”
Yuan Ze: “???”
Wei Xiao added the most fatal blow at the end, “Close is very good,
goodbye Captain Yuan.”
As soon as Wei Xiao went back, Soybean jumped straight into his arms.
Brother Soy didn’t know that his handsome father had gone away. He felt
quite puzzled when he smelled that Wei Xiao didn’t have his handsome
father’s scent on him, “Ao?”
Wei Xiao thought that it wanted to go downstairs to play. He rubbed its

doggy head and said, “Your father isn’t at home, there’s nobody here to go
crazy with you.”
The captain had only left for one day, and he missed him––
He wanted him to come back and walk the dog!
It was 6AM in China, making it 6PM in America.
Lu Feng spoke to the doctor about the timing as he waited for his luggage.
He’d just arrived and needed to settle in. He’d go to the hospital the day
after tomorrow to discuss the treatment procedures.
With this dealt with, Lu Feng dialed a phone number from the bottom of his
address book.
Yuan Ze had just been angered by Little Lunatic Wei, and when he heard
his cell phone ring, he picked it up without looking at it.
The other side wasn’t speaking in English. Instead, it was a bass voice that
was both familiar and strange, “Hello.”
Yuan Ze: “!”
Lu Feng: “Are you free?”
Yuan Ze burst out cursing, then asked him, “You still have my phone
number…” He thought that Lu Feng would’ve blocked him a long time
ago!
Lu Feng: “I heard you want to pick me up? I’ll be out of the gate in around
40 minutes.”
This cocky tone of voice brought Old Dog Yuan’s thoughts back to three
years ago.
Yuan Ze paused briefly, “F*ck!”
He picked up the car key on his desk and headed for the airport.
Yuan Ze had also been a laborer in the old FTW.
Only two people had a driver’s license on the team. One was Yuan Ze, and
the other was Yan Jiang.
Captain Yan: “You can ask me to drive as long as you’re not afraid of
death.”
Everyone in the Team of Gods: “……” Who wouldn’t be f*cking afraid of

death?!
So, Yuan Ze slowly became an experienced driver.

When Kim Sung-hyun came back from South Korea, he’d gone to pick him
up.
When Xie He came back from his hometown, he’d gone to pick him up.
Only Close was different, because he never went home.
Yuan Ze had once asked him, “Do you want big brother to pick you up?”
Close had simply glanced at him.
Don’t ask, if you ask, it’s simply asking to be snubbed!
The next day, Yuan Ze had received a call from Close, “I’m at K11.”
Yuan Ze: “???”
Close: “I heard you wanted to pick me up.”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”
If it hadn’t been that Close had also given him a lighter that cost five digits,
he definitely wouldn’t have picked him up!
After picking up Lu Feng, Yuan Ze finally realized something, “Didn’t

Quiet say that someone was picking you up?”
Lu Feng had been flying for over 10 hours. Even if he could lay down and
sleep in the first class cabin, he was still very tired. He glanced at him
sidelong, “Aren’t you someone?”
Both of them were f*cking shits!
The first thing Wei Xiao did when he opened his eyes was grope for his cell
phone.
There was a voice message in his Wechat. Wei Xiao clicked it open and
heard Lu Feng’s voice, “Don’t worry, I’ve settled in.”
One in the afternoon was one o’clock in the morning over there. Wei Xiao
managed to resist calling him and sent him a Wechat message, “I dreamed
of you.”
Jet lag wasn’t that easy to reverse. Lu Feng sent over a video call.
Wei Xiao connected instantly.
The two of them looked at each other across the small screen, and they
missed each other even more.
Wei Xiao looked at him pitifully, “Captain~”
Lu Feng also looked at him, “What was I doing in your dreams?”
Wei Xiao’s cheeks were red. He was too embarrassed to say it, yet said it
anyway, “I dreamed that you kissed me.”
The color of Lu Feng’s dark eyes deepened.
Wei Xiao started to tremble from his look, “Ahhhh, Captain, don’t seduce
me!”
When he looked at him like this, not only did he miss him, certain other
places also started to miss him!
Lu Feng laughed quietly, “Who exactly is seducing who?”
F*ck, he really wanted to fly to M Country!
Wei Xiao couldn’t win when he flirted against his captain and got out of
bed as he said, “There’s a competition in the afternoon. I’m getting up.”
Lu Feng knew his schedule, “Nervous?”

Wei Xiao set the cell phone to one side and spoke while changing clothes,
“What’s there to be nervous about?”
From Lu Feng’s point of view, he could just manage to see his thin waist.
After having sampled it before, one glance was enough to make him miss it.
Wei Xiao put on his team uniform, then looked sideways at the camera,
“Captain?”
Wei Xiao was amused, “Fascinated with watching me?”
He’d done it deliberately. It couldn’t always be the captain teasing him; he

had to fight back!
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Lu Feng: “I’m fascinated.”
Shit, to hell with fighting back. His heart started beating like a drum with
just a single word from the captain!
Later, Brother Cai had come to knock on the door, scaring Wei Xiao into
quickly closing the video call.
There was also the sound of Soybean making noise outside.
Wei Xiao opened the door for them, and Soybean pounced into his arms.
Bai Cai: “Laozi walked you for an entire morning, but you forget your
uncle as soon as you see your daddy.”
Soybean really wasn’t his dog!

Wei Xiao stroked Soybean, “It’s still your Uncle Vegetable who cares about
you, accompanying you to go crazy so early in the morning.”
Soybean: “Aoooooo!” After messing around for such a long time, why do
you still not smell like the handsome daddy?
After Wei Xiao said so, Brother Cai’s heart felt guilty, “I was told to do it.”
Wei Xiao looked at him, “?”
Bai Cai told him the truth honestly, “Before the captain left, he told me that
I was responsible for walking Soybean every day.”
Wei Xiao’s heart felt sweet, but he immediately grew puzzled, “You’re so
damned lazy, why would you be so obedient?”
Brother Cai cleared his throat, “1000 to walk him each time, and two
months adds up to…”
Who cared about the competition? He could get rich walking the dog!
Wei Xiao: “………………”
Wei Xiaoxiao instantly felt that Soybean wasn’t fun anymore. This thing
was too expensive, he might as well stew it!
Today was FTW’s first official game.
The regular season began at 3PM every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

Saturday, and Sunday. It was BO3, and there were three games a day.
There were no games on Monday and Tuesday, which gave the teams time
to do their replays and reviews.
At the start, they would be circulating within their group, and it was held in
S City, FTW’s home base.
The other group would be cycling in B City, which was FTW’s away court.
Home games and away games were quite different.
Without mentioning anything else, there would be a difference in the

players’ states.
It took two hours to fly from S City to B City, and the journey was quite
tiring.
After they arrived, they would have to stay in a hotel, and no matter how
comfortable the hotel was, it wasn’t the same as living at their base. If they
didn’t sleep well, it would also affect their state.
So, everyone all paid attention to the cycles within their group in order to
snatch up points where they could. After all, it would be a pity to lose
points when they had the home team advantage.
Today, FTW was up against a third rate team.
There were 14 teams in the China competition zone, but there was a mixed
combination of good and bad teams.
When the entire competition zone was in a slump, the level of the weak
teams was far worse than what strong competition zones could imagine.
For example, this LH team. Their name also started with L, but the gap
between them and L&P could be said to be like the difference between
heaven and hell.
In last year’s regular season, LH had been one place short of getting
relegated to the secondary leagues.
There was really no suspense for FTW to go up against them for their first
game.
But Chen Feng was a little nervous.
Tang Chen warmed up his wrists, “Even if you don’t believe in me, you
should believe in those kids.”
He’d been playing in training matches with the rest of the team recently,
and their results had been good.
Chen Feng stared at him, “You understand shit!”
Tang Chen: “Yeah, yeah, I don’t understand shit.”
Chen Feng: “……” He couldn’t understand the brain circuits of this piece
of wood this lifetime!
Xiang Liu interjected, “It should be fine, LH played against RR yesterday

and was beaten up miserably.”
LH really was miserable. Their luck was really terrible, and they’d played
against RR in their first game, and it was the RR who’d gotten hammered
into seclusion during the opening game.
As for the results, it could only be described as so horrible that one could
barely stand to look at them.
Moonlit had gotten beaten up directly by the shadow thief during the
opening game, and then it had happened again during the training match.
The anger and fury that had been suppressed for a day and a night all landed
on LH.
Such an unlucky team then went on to encounter FTW in the second round.
In fact, these schedules had been made public before the opening game.
At the time, LH had felt their vision grow dark as soon they saw the
schedule. That day, everyone in their team had gone to worship Buddha on
Weibo, begging for a change in their luck.
Who could’ve known that they would really get what they wanted––
FTW’s official blog sent out an announcement, and their Weibo followed
suit and gained popularity.
How metaphysical!
They’d worshipped Buddha, and Close had actually gone off to North
America!
Sending out Weibo posts to gain some luck was really useful. It seemed as
though they’d managed to suck FTW’s luck dry.
Was the law of conservation of character true?
Anything that was related to Close’s departure from the team could be
discussed happily by the netizens for a very long time.
While Chen Feng was worrying about FTW messing up, FTW’s four little
ones had a different attitude altogether.
Wei Xiao pointed to his cell phone, “Do you guys see this? It’s this team!”
The Weibo he was pointing to was the one where LH was trying to suck in
some luck.
Ning Zhehan nodded, “Yes, they’re the ones who cursed the captain. It’s
really a huge crime!”
Wei Xiao looked at the two of them, “What, could it be that they’re not
guilty?”
Yue Wenle & Bai Cai: “They are!”
Wei Xiao nodded, then concluded, “The dead can be excused, but living
criminals can’t escape. What’s our goal?”
Ning Zhehan and Brother Cai became the little side characters that were
supporting the lead role, “Beat them up!”
Bandit Wei was very satisfied.

The competition began at 3PM. Lu Feng, who’d coaxed Little Xiao by
saying goodnight was currently watching the live broadcast.
His cell phone rang.
Yuan Ze had sent him a message, “Come out for a late night snack?”
L&P had just finished a training match. Yuan Ze was hungry enough to die,
and when he thought about how Lu Feng definitely hadn’t adjusted to the
jet lag (even though it wasn’t necessary, since there was no jet lag in e-
sports), and definitely hadn’t slept, he called him out to eat together.
Lu Feng: “No.”
Yuan Ze: “Not hungry?”
Lu Feng: “Busy.”
Yuan Ze: “???” What could you be busy with at three in the morning!
Oh… it was three o’clock in the afternoon in China.
Yuan Ze got it, “FTW has a game?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Yuan Ze looked it up: LH? What kind of noob team was this, he hadn’t even
heard of them.
Yuan Ze asked him again, “FTW shouldn’t be at the level where they can’t
even win against this kind of team, right?”
Lu Feng didn’t reply.
Yuan Ze thought about it and felt that he was being overly nervous. He
comforted him kindly, “Don’t worry, it’s a steady win with Quiet there.”
Yuan Ze was puzzled, “So what are you nervous about? Staring at it at three
in the morning?”
A long time later, when Yuan Ze thought that Lu Feng wouldn’t reply––
Close: “I miss him, so I’m watching.”
xiin – long distance dog food begins~ and Yuan Ze gets a whole face full of
it!
Ch110 - Close had become Quiet’s
number one supporter on the list.
Yuan Ze’s hand shook, and his cell phone fell straight down towards the
floor.
Gary’s hand eye coordination was fast, and he caught it for him. The Old G
who knew a little bit of Chinese glanced at it and saw some of the message,
“Is it Close? Did he really come to North America? Where is he? How’s his
arm? Can he move it? Can he solo? Can he…”
Yuan Ze snatched up the cell phone, “Shut up!”
Gary was aggrieved, “I really never thought that I was actually hammered
into seclusion by an injured Close. It’s hard to imagine how strong he
would be when he’s in his best state.”
In fact, Yuan Ze was also very curious about this. Close had been very
strong when he’d been in FTW, but he’d still been a little immature.
Especially when it came to cooperation, his performance was bad enough to
get points deducted.
After FTW broke up, Close was deeply caught in the quagmire and couldn’t
show his real strength.
It was true that he’d won consecutive singles championships, but a real god
level player was never a lone wolf.
Yuan Ze had been led astray by Gary and forgot to reply to Lu Feng.
When he looked at the last message, he felt his teeth ache from gritting
them tight as he typed, “Who do you want to see? Is it FTW, or… Q…”
He held back and didn’t finish typing. He always felt that his teeth would
hurt even more after he was done.
Lu Feng: “Goodnight.”
Yuan Ze: “………………”
Gary was still making a fuss, “So? Is Close coming out? Should we go have
Chinese food? How about hotpot? I love hotpot, do you think I can trade a
hotpot meal for a round of solo…”
Yuan Ze pulled a cigarette out of the box and stuffed it into his mouth.
Old G was happy, “Your method of quitting smoking is really quite

unconventional. You don’t smoke, then offer it to others instead.”
Yuan Ze wished he could kick him away, “Go away!”
Gary ran off. The smell of smoke was like adding fuel to the fire for people
who were trying to quit smoking, he got it.
Yuan Ze stared at the message. He looked at it up and down, left and right,
and the more he looked…
F*ck!
He couldn’t hide from it. In the context of this conversation, how come it
looked problematic from any angle?!
Yuan Ze gave Kim Sung-hyun an overseas phone call.
Kim Sung-hyun glanced at his watch, “It’s three in the morning, and you
Yuan Ze came straight to the point, “There’s big news!”

Kim Sung-hyun switched to Chinese, “What.”
Yuan Ze avoided the people around him and took a deep breath, “I suspect
that Little Close is…”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Is what?”
Yuan Ze was having some trouble saying it out loud.
Kim Sung-hyun asked him instead, “Is Close over there?”
Yuan Ze: “He just arrived yesterday.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “How’s his shoulder?”
Yuan Ze: “Can’t see anything just by looking at it.”
Kim Sung-hyun was quite puzzled, “He’s only 21, and he normally lives
like an old man. How can it be so serious?”
This was also the thing that Yuan Ze couldn’t understand.
Lu Feng had become famous early, but he hadn’t entered the industry very
early. There were many others who’d started competing at 16, 17 years old.
Although Lu Feng was now 21, and it seemed normal to have some
occupational diseases after already playing for four or five years, now was
only when he’d announced the problem and certainly not the time when the
illness actually began.
As professional players, they all understood.
Strain was chronic. It took at least a year or two to progress from showing
symptoms to requiring treatment.
According to this pace, Lu Feng may have already had symptoms when he
was 18 or 19, which was really too early.
Fans only saw Close’s injury, and only saw that he was going to North
America for treatment, but they didn’t think about how Lu Feng had
endured it, and had never thought about how bad it had to be for him to
leave his club to go to M Country for treatment.
The hidden dangers left by his departure were immeasurable.
If Close’s shoulder injury wasn’t very serious, he would never dare to take
on such a risk.
Kim Sung-hyun and Yuan Ze didn’t say it clearly.
But both of them had a suspicion in their hearts: was Close’s shoulder
injury really from strain?
Burning out after only one or two years?
It didn’t seem possible no matter how they thought about it.
Then, what was going on?
What had happened to Close in the year that FTW disbanded?
When he thought of these things, Yuan Ze’s heart felt very uncomfortable.
Kim Sung-hyun’s voice also grew distant, “I have a game later, I’m hanging
up now.”
Yuan Ze: “Mm.”
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Ze looked at his cell phone and spaced
out for a while, then glanced at his chat interface.
He’d forgotten all about it!
Forget it, for something like sexual orientation, it didn’t matter as long as it
wasn’t aimed at him.
After closing his conversation with Yuan Ze, Lu Feng used a projector and
leaned back in bed to watch the live broadcast.
When the five people in FTW appeared, the camera started by sweeping
over their top-laner before panning back, stopping for a longer time when it
came to Wei Xiao.
In the screen, the youth was wearing FTW’s black team uniform, his zipper
loosely done up to his chest and revealing the white shirt inside that was a
little too large, exposing hints of his collarbones. Following the beautiful
arc upwards was his slender neck, thin jaw, handsome facial features, and
his black eyes that seemed filled with lights.
When Wei Xiao wasn’t smiling, his drooping eyelids made him seem a little
cold, and his lips looked thin. When his sidelong glance landed on the
camera, his arrogant little look elicited countless screams from the fans.
Lu Feng could hear it. His dark eyes watched the screen without blinking.
Wei Xiao was very good-looking. When he stood there on the brilliant
stage, he became even more attractive.
The game started without much nonsense.
Under normal circumstances, this would be a game without any suspense.
FTW against LH. It didn’t seem like they could lose no matter what.
However, due to Lu Feng’s departure, everything was now in question.
Could the FTW that didn’t have the great demon king stand up on its own?
Could the new jungler Quiet hold things up?
Had this team that had lost its captain, also lost its soul?
Regardless of whether they were fans, haters, or even passers-by, everyone

was curious about this.
This game was no longer a boring match where a strong team crushed a
weak team, but a new start, a game to prove themselves, a game where the
curtains were slowly being drawn up!
This was exactly what Chen Feng was worried about.
This was a game that they would basically win as long as Close was there.
If FTW lost now…
How big of a blow would it be for the five starters in the team, the worried
fans, and the countless people who supported them?
And there were countless possibilities and opportunities in every game.
The players’ states, the BP line-up, or even one careless move in the canyon
could cause them to lose the entire game.
There were no games where wins were guarantees, only endless surprises
and possible accidents.
This was what competition was.
Chen Feng wasn’t someone who was afraid of losing, but he was afraid this
time.
He was afraid that FTW would make a mistake, that FTW would lose, and
he was afraid that if they didn’t do well, the crowd would push them down
even further.
From the moment that Close left, FTW had stood on a tightrope wire that
was strung across a cliff.
Walking across it wasn’t necessarily a smooth path; once they fell, there
would be nothing but an abyss waiting for them.
With such pressure, Chen Feng was very nervous.
Tang Chen noticed it, but he didn’t know how to inspire others. He
scratched his head and didn’t know what to say.
Chen Feng tried hard not to let his emotions infect the players. After all,
based on their current state, the four little ones were still doing okay.
Wei Xiao glanced at him while adjusting his headset.
BP started. LH had the first ban, and they didn’t hesitate to send the shadow
thief to the ban position.
It was too terrible. FTW’s inherited shadow thief was poisonous, and LH
still had a strong desire to survive.
Wei Xiao: “What are they afraid of? Laozi can’t do nine light arcs anyway.”
Bai Cai: “Would you die if you spoke a little less?”
Wei Xiao: “I really can’t, hey! This segment can be broadcast, and it’s
better if they repeat it three times so that all the teams can hear it clearly. I,
Quiet, can’t do nine light arcs. Hurry up and save on that ban position!”
Brother Cai: “… I suspect that you’re putting on an act.”
Lele: “… And we have the evidence to prove it.”
Little Ning: “Cough.”
Wei Xiao: “Sigh, things are bad this year. Nobody believes you when you
tell the truth.”
All of his worries were completely swept away by this brat’s antics!
Wei Xiao moved his mouse lazily, “Coach, I want to play the berserker
thief.”
Chen Feng glanced at him, “Hm?”

Wei Xiao smiled at the camera, “It’s time to let everyone know that my
scythe is even deadlier than my nine light arcs.”
His easy tone rang directly through the headphones, bringing some strange
magic with it.
Arrogant, frivolous, and brazen.
But once these words came from Quiet’s mouth, it all became something
that went without saying.
Chen Feng suddenly remembered the glance that Wei Xiao had shot him
prior to the BP link.
Damn it.
He was being cared for by a little brat.
A gust of dizzying warmth burst out in Chen Feng’s heart, melting the
nervousness and uneasiness.
What was he afraid of?
What was there to be afraid of?
If he, as the coach, was scared, then what should the players do?
He couldn’t accompany them to battle through the canyon, and he couldn’t

fight side by side with them, but what he could do was fight for the best
line-up for them, help them loosen any shackles and create a foundation for
them to fly freely!
He couldn’t panic; he couldn’t be afraid.
They would be beyond redemption if they lost, but they would never lose!
Chen Feng stared at the BP interface and calmly analyzed LH’s intentions,
“Their mid-laner’s hero pool is a little shallow. If we ban the flower mage,
it’ll be equal to having them lose a leg.”
How would they win with only one leg left? Even worshiping Buddha
would be of no use!
FTW’s side’s BP was very quick, and there was almost no hesitation.
On LH’s side, except for their speedy ban of the shadow thief, every
decision after that came slowly.
Professionals could tell a lot about the teams from BP.
If they banned and selected talents quickly, it meant that they had a well
thought out plan.
If they were slow and cautious, it meant that their hearts were flustered, and
they were uncertain.
The camera switched to Chen Feng who was standing behind Wei Xiao, his
eyes drooping as he stared at the computer screen.
Lu Feng was too familiar with him and could see his mood change through
some of his subtle expressions.
From the tension to the beginning to the current calmness, he wondered

what Wei Xiao had said.
Someone sent out a sentence on the scrolling comments––the FTW without

Close had no soul. How could they win?
Lu Feng sat up straight and typed out a line on his tablet, “Close isn’t the
soul, Quiet is.”
As soon as these words came out, countless people began to scold and
curse.
In particular, Close’s battle fans all exploded on the spot, wishing that they
could scold this string of numbers (his ID) into quitting the live broadcast
studio.
Lu Feng didn’t say anything else. He simply sent out 888 hearts for Quiet.
One heart was ten yuan. 888…
The scrolling comments grew quiet, and a group of people called out,
“6666, this big boss is really amazing!”
Lu Feng changed his ID.
His previous ID in the studio had been a default string of numbers, but now
he changed it to LU.
There was a list of players in the live broadcast room. For example, in this
team, the starters from both teams and the coaches were all on the list.
Fans could send out gifts for their favorite players in order to build up their
popularity.
The popularity list and KDA (the comprehensive data on a player’s kill rate,
death rate, and other indicators) list were updated in real time and would
gradually become white hot as the battle progressed.
In recent years, China’s popularity list and KDA list were dominated by one
person.
Of course it was Close. As for this year…
Close had become Quiet’s number one supporter on the list.
The fans were amused when they saw this ID on the list, “LU? LU!”
“Isn’t this my Close’s favorite alt account ID?”
“As everyone knows, all of Close’s alt accounts use this name.”
“Could it be, maybe, is it that…”
“What are you thinking? How could Close be bored enough to smash gifts
for the players from his own team.”
“Big boss, you’re going too far with this act!”
“Fake… very fake… it hurts this CP fan.”
Lu Feng didn’t look at the scrolling comments. He just stared at the screen,
rhythmically brushing out his love.
Quiet took First Blood, LU sent 520 hearts.
Quiet got a double kill, LU sent 1314 hearts.
Quiet got a triple kill, LU sent out 6666 hearts.
Quiet got a pentakill, LU sent out 9999 hearts…
Finally, some fans discovered these magical numbers and exclaimed in

surprise, “Quickly take a look at this big boss’s gifts ahhhh…”
“Holy shit, this person’s heart and eyes only have Quiet!”
“Quiet is indeed very excellent, but these gifts are all filled with love!”
“Jealous, jealous, I also want to have so many little hearts!”
After the end of the first game, FTW won the game beautifully, while Quiet
became the number one person on China’s popularity list.
At the same time, the terrifying KDA of 18 kills and 0 deaths also took him
to the top of the list––this wasn’t only first place in China, but also first
place in the world.
Even if it was just temporary, it was still shocking!
xiin: i’ve always wondered… is western live streaming also this crazy with
gifts?
Ch111 - A Quiet that nobody is
managing will bite people.
Nobody placed that much emphasis on the KDA rankings. After all, when
the big guys in the other competition zones started competing, they’d likely
clean out the rankings almost instantly.
Quiet’s ability to get first place was entirely dependent on how weak LH
was and was of little significance.
But his number one ranking in the popularity list was extremely brilliant.
There were some senior analysis emperors around:
“There’s no need to think about it. This LU must be a CP fan, a fan who
ships the double jungler CP. Seeing that Close isn’t there, they disguised
themselves as one of the main characters to show love like crazy.”
“That’s right! I just went to look at their data. The ID’s gender is female. It
must be a little sister who has a ton of money.”
“Impressed, impressed, no wonder everyone wants to sell to fujoshis, even

I’m falling for it.”
“Previous poster, wake up. Are you as cool as Close, or as handsome as

Quiet?”
“Little sisters, don’t be so desperate. Please grow up to look like Close, and
then have Close’s strength, and be as rich as him while you’re at it…”
“Please excuse me, goodbye!”
Nobody believed that LU really was Lu Feng.

It was just an ID that could be found anywhere.
Especially back then when Lu Feng used his alt account on his live
broadcast for the first time and exposed his ID LU, there was instantly a
crowd of people who’d followed suit and seized the same ID across
countless platforms.
Later, there were too many fakes, and everyone was sick of seeing them.
They’d gotten so used to it that there was nothing strange about it.
The story of the boy who’d cried wolf was unforgettable, no matter whether
it was on purpose or accidental.
Now… the real person had showed up, but nobody believed it.
Only when Lu Feng saw the scrolling comments did he realize that the
account’s default gender was female.
He was too lazy to change it back to male.
Not to mention changing the gender, he even wrote in his self

introduction––Even if I’m Close, nobody will believe me.
Lu Feng had also considered that nobody would believe that it was him
when he brazenly sent out gifts.
Nobody believed it, but a little lunatic would.
That was enough.
FTW’s match against LH was BO3, which meant that the first team to win
two games would win.
FTW won two games in one go, and it only took one and a half hours. They
could be described as vigorous and resolute.
In the first game, Wei Xiao took the berserker thief. At the start of the
game, he locked onto LH’s mid-laner. He came close and used a forced
control skill, sending him right back to the crystal.
At the time, LH had still been able to hold on, and someone was still saying
in their team chat, “It’s okay, it’s okay, the berserker thief is relatively fierce
during the early stages, stay steady!”
“Support, come with me, we’ll go into their jungle area!” Their mid-lane
was dead, so they naturally had to go and snatch up the other side’s
resources to get even.
Who could’ve known that when they entered the area with the red buff,
they’d run head-on into the Brother Cai who’d been crouching there in
advance to wait.
Brother Cai used a bubble tune and sent both of them into a stunned daze.
LH’s support yelled, “Retreat! There’s an ambush!”
LH’s jungler, “Bro, I’ve been locked in place!”
Everyone in LH: “……”
Then, they saw the berserker thief come in from behind to surround them,
taking away LH’s jungler’s life before chasing LH’s support player around
and around until he was crying and wailing.
A triple kill at the start of the game made LH collapse thoroughly.
LP’s mid-laner said darkly, “I heard that we supposedly managed to suck in

some luck?”
“I heard that we supposedly worshipped Buddha and changed our fate?”
“I heard that we supposedly have a 70% win rate?”
“I heard that we were going to turn the tables completely?”
“F*ck! The internet is full of liars. Laozi is damned for believing them!”
Like hell had they sucked in luck. They’d completely opened up a

Pandora’s box and released a new demon.
They even said that they had a 70% win chance. They should be a little bit
more confident and change it to 100%––100% chance of losing until they
dropped their underwear!
LH’s mid-laner died again. He was very calm, “I feel that we might be
better off with God Lu.”
LH’s mid-laner continued, “If we weren’t given some hope at the start,
there would be no need for such despair now.”
Everyone: “……” Shit, this was too real!
They were abused brutally in the first game, and in the second game, it was
even more bloody.
In these two games, Quiet didn’t use the inherited shadow thief at all. Of
course, it was also that LH had banned the shadow thief.
However, there wasn’t much significance in whether they banned it or not.

As the number of deaths increased, LH’s team members wanted to
express––it was better to let out the shadow thief, at least they could then
see the light arcs spreading all over the sky!
For better or worse, it would be a magnificent death. If they could die with
their eyes dazzled, then it would be a different experience!
The crowd of people who were flaming FTW were all slapped until their
faces were swollen by this ‘slaughter show’.
Chen Feng’s face also felt a little painful––to hell with being afraid. These
beasts would only make others afraid!
A BO3 usually took more than two and a half hours to finish, but FTW only
took an hour and a half. Although they hadn’t broken any records for the
shortest time taken, it was still fast and direct.
There was an interview session after the competition. The host would
choose a representative from the winning and losing teams and ask them a
few questions.
The audience was looking forward to it.
They were too curious, wanting to know who from FTW would come out
for the interview. The host would definitely ask them sharp questions, so
how would FTW answer?
Exciting!
Backstage, FTW Lounge.
Chen Feng: “No way, you can’t go.”
Wei Xiao was aggrieved, “I am the MVP…”
Generally speaking, the interviewees were the MVPs from the team. Based
on Wei Xiao’s heaven shattering records in the battle, he was naturally the
MVP.
But how could Chen Feng dare to let him out? FTW’s popularity was
already high enough, and they didn’t need Wei Xiao to stir up big news!
Wei Xiao might be crazy in the arena, but he would be well-behaved after
he left the court, especially in front of his seniors.
Chen Feng glanced over.
Ning Zhehan’s back tensed up, “I-I can’t do it, coach!” He would stammer
and humiliate the team!
Yue Wenle had an aura of powerlessness, “My health bar is empty.” Two
games had used up a lot of energy. There were chips to replenish him, but
he just wanted to lie there on the ground.
Tang Chen scratched the back of his head, “I’ll go”
Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him.

Let Tang Chen go?
The damned host would be able to clean out all of FTW’s savings!
In the end, there was only one person left.
Bai Cai sighed, “I’ll go.”
Chen Feng nodded.
Brother Cai was already used to it. He’d taken a lot of interviews last
season.
From being anxious and flustered the first time to the thick-skinned
shamelessness at the end, it had all been tempered by time.
FTW had a high win rate last year, and Close rarely gave interviews.
Yue Wenle’s strength was exhausted after a game, leaving just this little
delicate vegetable that he could take out and make use of.
The audience watched eagerly, and the host was well prepared. As soon as
Bai Cai came up onto the stage, everyone stared at him.
The scrolling comments were still noisy, “Why isn’t it Quiet? I want to see
him!”
“You guys are only interested in new people and forget about the old. Are
the pickled vegetables fangirls still there?!”
“Sorry, only FTW’s double jungler CP is real. God Bai, don’t come here
and act as a light bulb.”
“Why didn’t Quiet come out? I think it would be interesting if he was

interviewed.”
“As someone who has listened to Glory’s Mic Explosion King, I want to
express that it might not just be interesting, it might even be colorful.”
“Yes yes yes, that sentence ‘give it to me, captain’, made my ears numb
when I heard it…”
Fortunately Brother Cai couldn’t see the scrolling comments. Otherwise, he

would go on strike if he saw it––did they think Laozi really wanted to be
interviewed? Laozi’s worth… was also very high, okay?
A trace of disappointment skimmed over the host’s eyes. It wasn’t because

Quiet’s popularity now suppressed Brother Cai, but because most of the
questions she had on hand were related to Quiet. It was obviously more
impactful if he answered them himself.
Of course, this was the representative FTW had sent over, and the
organizers couldn’t interfere too much with that.
The host smiled and congratulated FTW on winning with a 2:0 score.
Bai Cai also replied with some formulaic words.
Next, the host’s words changed abruptly, “When faced with Close’s
departure, is God Bai nervous?”
Bai Cai gave a superficial smile, “Of course I’m nervous.”
The host’s eyes lit up, “It seems that the captain being absent adds a burden
to everyone. I wonder how it affects you all specifically? Is it convenient
for God Bai to share with us?”
Bai Cai: “It’s not a big deal.”
The host: “Oh?”
Bai Cai: “When the captain is here, our jungler king will reluctantly act
human; when our captain isn’t in the team, our jungler king no longer acts
human.”
The host: “???”

Bai Cai picked up the microphone and said frankly, “Everyone should be
careful. A Quiet that nobody is managing will bite people.”
Everyone on the internet: “………………..”
Wei Xiao, who was backstage, was amused, “Motherf*cker, Brother Cai!”
When Close wasn’t here, FTW was really nervous.
They weren’t nervous about losing the game, but rather, they were nervous
that they couldn’t hold back the little lunatic in their team!
When the captain wasn’t there, was FTW just waiting to be slaughtered at
will?
Dream on!
The other teams should wash their necks clean and wait to get shut out with
a zero score!
The position of first place in the group belonged to FTW!
The scrolling comments exploded.
Some people applauded, some sneered, some cheered, and others yelled
abuse…
Amidst this mixed crowd, the big boss with the ID LU sent out six bubbles
to Bai Cai.
Some fans with sharp eyes caught this and laughed until their stomachs
hurt.
“Big boss, your double standards are too obvious!”
“When they sent hearts to Quiet, they started off with 520.”
“They sent free bubbles to God Bai, and they only gave six of them!”
“If I was God Bai, I would die crying on the interview stage.”
“Hahahahahaha I get it, Big Boss LU is firmly in the double jungler party
and doesn’t care about pickled vegetables.”
Today was a victorious day for FTW, in all senses.
First on the points table and first in net (victory or defeat within the group)
points.
Wei Xiao was number one on the popularity rankings, and he was also
number one in the global KDA rankings.
Finally, Brother Cai’s interview was the finishing touch. One ‘Quiet will
bite people’ was basically tossed up onto the hot search.
When they were in the van on the way back to the base, everyone was
happy and excited.
Chen Feng: “What do you want to eat tonight?”
Yue Wenle: “Potato-potato chips…”
Nobody paid any attention to his weak voice. Everyone else cheered,
“Hotpot!”
How could they live up to their passionate performance if they didn’t eat
hotpot after they’d won?
Wei Xiao’s heart grew itchy as soon they got into the car. He wanted to send
Lu Feng a message, but he was also afraid of disturbing his sleep.
After spending more than ten hours on the plane, it hadn’t been easy for the
captain to settle in. He had to rest well, and Wei Xiao couldn’t disturb him.
Hold back, hold back, hold back. Wei Xiao managed to control himself.
When they arrived at the hotpot restaurant, Brother Cai ordered the dishes.
Some sort of 699 yuan wagyu beef, 788 yuan top grade lamb… taking
advantage of the fact that the money he was spending wasn’t his own, he
ordered everything that was ‘rich and powerful’.
Wei Xiao’s interest in food was so-so. He bit at his straw and drank his
watermelon juice.
After ordering, Brother Cai looked at him, “What, why aren’t you happy
after winning the game?”
Wei Xiao couldn’t be bothered to look at him.
Brother Cai inexplicably understood, “You miss the captain?”
Brother Cai was impervious, “If you miss him, then you miss him. What’re
you putting on airs for? Hurry up and call the captain to give him the good
news.”
Wei Xiao glared at him, “The captain needs to sleep.”
As an onlooker, Brother Cai saw things more clearly, “Are you stupid? It’s
our first game, do you think the captain would be sleeping?”
Wei Xiao: “………… F*ck!”
Oh yeah, this was their first game. How could the captain be relieved
enough to go to sleep?
He would quickly give him a call. He would report the good news so that
the captain could sleep well.
Wei Xiao picked up his cell phone and got up.
Just then, Bai Cai exclaimed, “Oh holy shit, Brother Xiao, not bad.”
Wei Xiao was anxious, wanting to go out and make the call, “Hm?”
Bai Cai raised up his cell phone to show him, “Some big boss screwed you
all the way up to the first place in the popularity rankings.”
Wei Xiao wasn’t interested in these superficial things. His heart was filled
with Lu Feng, “Oh…”
Until Bai Cai added a sentence, “This ID’s inspired, they actually called
themselves LU.”
Wei Xiao’s ears twitched, “What?”
Bai Cai pointed to the ID that had leveled up too high because it had sent
out too many gifts and now had special effects wrapped around its name,
“Look.”
A golden and sparkling LU, a shiny and flashing LU, a LU that was filled
with love.
Wei Xiao blinked.
Brother Cai tsked twice, “If it wasn’t that the number of hearts that was
gifted was too cringey, I would even think that it was the captain.”
Wei Xiao’s heart thumped, “What numbers.”
Bai Cai read them out rhythmically, “When you took First Blood, he gave
you 520 hearts; when you got a double kill, he gave you 1314 hearts…”
Little Ning raised his hand, “I know what that means, this means I love you
forever!”
Bai Cai sighed emotionally, “Rich people, tossing out 200,000 in one go. I
also want… ah…”
He caught a glimpse of Wei Xiao from the corner of his eyes and was
shocked, “Why are your ears red?”
Wei Xiao hefted his cell phone and went to leave, his voice muffled, “It’s
hot.”
Bai Cai: “???”
The hotpot hadn’t even arrived yet, and he already felt hot?
Wei Xiao pushed the door open and stepped out, “I’m going out for air.”
Those in the room looked at each other, and Tang Chen hit the nail on the
head, “Could it be that this LU is someone Wei Xiao knows?”
Ning Zhehan was also curious, “Brother Xiao’s girlfriend?”
Chen Feng, who’d guessed the truth, “…………”
Damn it, I’m already full even before the hotpot!
xiin: 5201314 bowls of dogfood~

Ch112 - Wei Xiao: I don’t like
women.
Wei Xiao clicked on the voice call function in WeChat.
Generally speaking, Lu Feng would switch his cell phone to ‘do not disturb’
mode while he slept, so this call wouldn’t wake him up if he was asleep.
Obviously though, Brother Cai had been right. Lu Feng picked up.
Wei Xiao breathed lightly, “Didn’t you say you were sleeping?”
Lu Feng: “Couldn’t sleep.”
He said he was going to sleep, but then he couldn’t fall asleep. Alright then,
it was very logical.
They listened to the sound of each other’s breathing and started to miss
each other all over again. The two of them fell silent for a while, and it was
Lu Feng who spoke first, “It was a well played game.”
Wei Xiao’s hand clenched involuntarily around the cell phone. He leaned
against the red wooden pillar and asked, “Is that LU person you?”
He had already determined the truth in his heart, but he still wanted to ask.
He kept feeling as though this wasn’t something his captain would do, but
once he thought about if the captain had done these things, he strangely felt
moved by it.

Wei Xiao felt a little bit disappointed, “If it’s not you, then forget it. It’s
nothing.”
It wasn’t the captain…
Sure enough, the captain wouldn’t do something so pointless and give out
gifts with those numbers…
Lu Feng: “It’s me.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng: “If you’re talking about the LU who is number one on the support
rankings, then it’s indeed me.”
He repeated it, speaking in such detail and still using such a low, gentle
voice to say it.
Wei Xiao: F*ck!
He already missed him, but now he missed him even more!
A waiter just happened to pass by. They seemed to be a Glory fan, and
when they saw Wei Xiao’s team uniform, their eyes brightened slightly.
Wei Xiao pushed himself up and went to find a more secluded place.
Lu Feng noticed it, “You haven’t returned back to the base yet?”
Wei Xiao lowered his voice, “We’re at a hot pot restaurant.”
Lu Feng understood. He smiled, “You deserve to have a good meal after

winning the game.”
Wei Xiao endured it for a long time but wasn’t able to hold back,
“Captain…”
“Mm.”
“Do you know what 5201314 means?”
Lu Feng spoke in a low voice, “I love you, forever.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
Lu Feng’s voice held traces of a smile, “I didn’t get it wrong, right?”
Wei Xiao couldn’t quite catch his breath, “Are you trying to make me fly
over there and kiss you right now?”
Lu Feng stopped teasing him, “Don’t think about it, you have a game
tomorrow.”
How could Wei Xiao stop thinking about it? His heart was completely out
of control right now, jumping around like crazy!
Fortunately, Wei Xiao still understood what was more important even at
critical moments.
He tried to distract himself, attempting to act like a person again, “Why did
you send out so many gifts? The platform also takes a cut.”
Even if it were gifts given through the official live broadcast room, the
platform would still take a cut, and the cut wasn’t small. The final sum that
would reach the team was only a number that had been cut down several
times.
However, Lu Feng didn’t give him any chance to act like a person.
He said quietly, “I wanted to see you take first place.”
Wei Xiao took a deep breath, “Captain, don’t be like this, it’s making my
legs go soft.”
If the conversation went on like this, one of them would either fly back
from M Country, or fly to M Country from China.
Neither option was good. They needed to pull the brakes!
Lu Feng: “Go and eat, I’m going to sleep.”
Wei Xiao also didn’t dare to tease him further, “Okay…”
After hanging up, Wei Xiao sent Lu Feng a WeChat message.
Lu Feng got out of bed to take a bath and caught a glimpse of that line of
text––Taking number one on the popularity ranking is meaningless. Wait
for me to take countless real number ones.
Lu Feng stooped to pick up his cell phone and typed out one word, “Okay.”
Before going back to their room at the restaurant, Wei Xiao first went to the
bathroom to adjust his expression. He tried not to smile too sweetly, tried
not to let people see any flaws, and tried to put on a serious face!
As soon as Brother Cai saw him, he said, “You were just giving the captain
a report, why are you smiling so excessively…”
Great. The corners of Brother Xiao’s lips pressed down, and he was no
longer so happy, “Shut up!”
The pink bubbles in his heart had disappeared by the time he finished
swearing at the vegetable.
Bai Cai ridiculed him, “You’re just making a phone call, yet you have to
avoid everyone while doing so. Do you think you’re still a primary school
student or something?”
For once, Wei Xiao actually didn’t get his point.
Bai Cai: “… Sneaking off to find the class teacher to make a report.”
He looked at the simple and stupid Brother Cai and didn’t know if he felt
gratified, or wanted to smash him over the head.
And this was the Gossip Emperor? Had he fed all of his little articles to the
dogs?
In fact, Bai Cai really couldn’t be blamed for this. Wei Xiao’s level of
stickiness towards Lu Feng had been even stronger back when he hadn’t yet
had his sexual awakening.
Brother Cai had experienced countless hardships and had already become
‘fearless in the face of danger’.
Chen Feng was scared that the cat would be let out of the bag and
beckoned. “Come and eat.”
Wei Xiao sat down and picked at his food.
Little Ning held back for a long time and finally couldn’t hold back any
longer, “Brother Xiao… is LU your girlfriend?”
Wei Xiao: “……” It was fortunate that he wasn’t eating properly.

Otherwise, he’d have sprayed out a mouthful of food all over the table. The
699, 899 yuan beef would all be wasted blindly just like that.
Ning Zhehan stared at him with big, curious eyes.
Wei Xiao sipped at his fruit juice to suppress his shock, “Why would you
think that.”
Little Ning still remembered. “Didn’t you say that you had a girlfriend
before?” And he’d said that she was a strong woman and career orientated.
It was just that they’d never seen her face.
Wei Xiao managed to dredge out this segment from the depths of his
memory.
He had indeed pretended that his boss was his girlfriend before.
His boss was LU.
In a sense, Little Ning had discovered the truth.
Wei Xiao cleared his throat, “We split up a long time ago.”
Wei Xiao spoke earnestly and sincerely, “Little Ning, have we won first
place in the regular season, taken a grand slam in the playoffs, and brought
back the championship trophy?”
Ning Zhehan shook his head blankly.
Wei Xiao’s expression was cold, “Then why are you thinking about falling
in love.”
Little Ning was scared, “No-no-no, I don’t dare!”
Wei Xiao was satisfied, “Eat, then.”
Clearly, you were the one who was spreading gossip. How did it turn into
Ning Zhehan falling in love early?
Chen Feng glanced at Wei Xiao and said in his heart: Little Lunatic Wei,
please act like a person.
You’re almost up in heaven with your relationship, so don’t you feel

embarrassed telling others not to think about such things? Where’s your
dignity!
After eating hot pot, the hot and steamy FTW team returned back to the
base.
There would be a match tomorrow. Chen Feng didn’t mention reviewing the
game and only told them not to stay up too late.
Today’s game wasn’t very significant. LH was too weak, and Quiet had
been too crazy, leading his teammates to crush their opponents like a
bulldozer. They wouldn’t be able to find problems in the replay, and it
might even make them overconfident.
Tomorrow’s game was still within their group cycle. The team they were up
against was called GOQ. They were stronger than LH, but they were still a
team that padded the bottom of the group.
As long as FTW could maintain today’s momentum, winning the game

wouldn’t be difficult.
FTW only had these two games this week, making it a relatively easy week
for them.
However, their next week would be hell mode. FTW would be up against
3U, and it would be an away game. It was difficult to say whether they
would win or lose.
Chen Feng didn’t use these things to scare them. He just wanted them to
maintain their state and win tomorrow’s game.
They played as a team for a while, and then they all went to bed at one
o’clock in the morning to conserve their energy.
Bai Cai looked at Wei Xiao, “Not going to sleep?”
Wei Xiao glanced at the time, “You go sleep. I’m going to play for a bit
longer.”
There was nobody else in the training room. Bai Cai looked at him for a
while, “You…”
Wei Xiao lifted his head to look at him, “Double queue?”
At the end of the day, Bai Cai was still uneasy and sat down, “Come on.”
The two of them double queued on the international server. Wei Xiao had
always maintained a very high standard of play, and there was no trace of
entertainment at all––he didn’t let the opponents off when he could crush
them, and he wasn’t careless even when the win was guaranteed.
After two or three rounds, the passers-by were tortured until they were
crying.
If Bai Cai still couldn’t sense something, he wouldn’t deserve to claim to

have known him for over two years.
In fact, Bai Cai could already feel that Wei Xiao was a little distracted while
still in the car.
This fellow was used to camouflaging his feelings, and he was also
particularly strong. Once he held up the umbrella to provide shelter, he
would guard everyone beneath it. Even if there was a storm outside the
umbrella, even if he was drenched, even if he himself was crumbling, he
would absolutely maintain the shelter under the umbrella.
Two years ago, Wei Xiao had held up the youth training camp team that had
shortcomings everywhere in the team just like this.
Two years later, he was now guarding FTW underneath his umbrella.
But, in fact, Wei Xiao was only 19 years old, even younger than him.
Bai Cai’s heart felt astringent. He said, “Don’t give yourself too much
pressure.”
Wei Xiao’s hand paused very conspicuously.
Bai Cai noticed it and comforted him, “FTW isn’t that weak. Brother Tang’s
level is very high, and your jungler is very stable. What’s there to be afraid
of?”
On the surface, that’s how it appeared.

Tang Chen was a champion from last year’s domestic competition, and
there was nothing that could be said about his abilities.
Ning Zhehan, as a new member of the team, was growing very fast and
performed very well.
There was even less need to mention Wei Xiao, whose performance as a
jungler was incredibly stable.
Bai Cai and Yue Wenle were old partners, and they’d passed the trials of the
domestic competition together last year.
They weren’t weak to the point where they were unable to withstand a
breeze.
However, when it came to their internal state, Bai Cai didn’t dare to think
too deeply about it.
Tang Chen wanting to retire was entirely because his body could no longer
hold up.
Ning Zhehan also had limited experience. His emotions were easily incited,
but it was also easy for him to fall into a slump.
Wei Xiao was excellent at playing jungler, but his cooperation with Yue
Wenle had always been flawed. It was something everyone could sense, but
unfortunately, there was no helping it. This was something that needed to be
trained over time.
Bai Cai could think of all these things, so how could Wei Xiao not be aware
of them? On the surface, he was careless and fierce, but was he really that
confident in his heart?
He shouldered the pressure of the captain’s departure from the team,

holding onto the belief that they could only win. Was Wei Xiao really as at
ease as he appeared?
The more Bai Cai thought about it, the more flustered he was.
“What are you thinking about over there.” Wei Xiao clicked on the queue
button and glanced at him out of the corner of his eyes.
Wei Xiao locked in the berserker thief and spoke casually, “There’s
something on my mind, but it’s not what you think.”
Bai Cai didn’t believe him, “Pretend, continue to pretend.”
The game entered the matching interface. Wei Xiao said lightly, “You’re
insisting on making me tell the truth, hey.”
Bai Cai stared at him and couldn’t tell if he was serious or not, “Other than
Glory, what else can you have on your mind?”
Wei Xiao fought against a jungle creep while tossing a bomb at Bai Cai,
“Recently, I’ve suddenly discovered that…”
Brother Cai was all ears, “Hm?”
Wei Xiao’s voice was very calm, “I don’t like women.”
Bai Cai: “??????”
He retreated sharply and looked at Wei Xiao with an expression full of

shock.
F*ck, where was this going? He just wanted to help a fellow brother work
through some problems. How come the conversation was taking such a
strange turn?!
Wei Xiao squinted at him, “Wake up, I don’t like women, but I won’t start
liking a vegetable.”
Bai Cai didn’t nitpick about whether or not he was a human being. He let
out a breath and leaned over, “What exactly is wrong with you?!”
Wei Xiao manipulated the berserker thief, flaunting excellent operations
that were being executed flawlessly even as his mouth was spouting
something shocking, “It’s nothing much, I’ve lived for 19 years and
suddenly discovered my sexual orientation.”
Bai Cai lost his voice for three full seconds, then finally managed to speak,
“You… like men?”
Bai Cai sat to the side in a daze. His mind felt like it was stuffed with wool.
All kinds of threads were wound together, and he couldn’t make sense of
anything.
“Then…” Bai Cai suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized, “You
can’t have secretly fallen in love with the captain, right?”
In fact, it wasn’t a secret love.
Bai Cai understood everything. At this moment, he understood everything!
It was no wonder that Wei Xiao was so restless, no wonder Wei Xiao was in
a daze, no wonder Wei Xiao was acting so abnormally!
Brother Cai was distressed, “You didn’t get rejected by the captain, did
you?”
Wei Xiao’s hand shook, and the kill that had almost been in hand ran off.
The more Bai Cai thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case,
“You-you’re saying that you… ah, you… ah…”
Wei Xiao was afraid that his brain would come up with too much nonsense
and that he would end up scared to death instead of crushed by the pressure
of the competition. He said quickly, “No!” He wasn’t lying, the captain
hadn’t rejected him.
Bai Cai was obviously misled. He felt that Wei Xiao meant that there had
been no confession and was greatly relieved. His face started to gain back
some of the color he’d lost, “Damn, you scared the hell out of me!”
Wei Xiao continued to kill and set fire across the canyon, “So, God Bai, can
you rest assured and go to bed?”
Bai Cai: “Like hell I’m assured!”
This was even more worrying.
His fellow brother had a secret crush on their captain. What would they do
if it fell apart?
Would FTW still be there the next day?
Bai Cai couldn’t sit still. He got up and walked around the training room,
muttering to himself, “When did it start? Was it after the captain left the
team?”
That had to be it. According to his intuition, that moment had been the most
likely point!
Liking a person was something that wasn’t always felt when they spent
every day together. Once they separated, that feeling couldn’t be suppressed
any longer.
He’d seen too many of those ‘reunion after a brief parting is as sweet as a
honeymoon’ articles!
Bai Cai, as a well-informed straight man, helped give Wei Xiao his advice,
“Old Wei, you have to hold on, you can’t confess to him right now!”
Wei Xiao found it difficult to get off this tiger he’d jumped on. His
emotions were complicated, “Yeah….”
xiin: *cringe* Wei Xiaoxiao, this is what lying gets you…

Ch113 - Lu Feng: Born weak.
The journey Bai Cai’s heart took could only be described as something that
was very hard to explain.
He had his suspicions about the captain’s sexual orientation, and he’d once
suspected that he held a secret love for Wei Xiao. He’d also suspected that
Wei Xiao was a hardcore straight man who was blind to it all.
He’d never thought that the truth and his suspicions would be a million
miles apart!
It was Wei Xiao who had a secret crush, and it was Wei Xiao who’d bent
himself?
What about the captain…
If Bai Cai had thought that the captain was gay previously, then after the
end of the winter training camp, he’d already become much more open
minded about it all.
Just based on Little Lunatic Wei’s misleading words, and the way they both
slept in the same room, as long as the captain was even a little interested in
him, they would’ve already done the deed.
Yet as a result, except for his own brain going into overdrive, nothing had
happened between the two of them at all!
Oh, something had happened now, and it was Wei Xiao who’d first bent
himself into a mosquito incense coil!
Bai Cai was flustered.

He wasn’t sure how the captain felt about Wei Xiao, but at the moment,
FTW couldn’t afford to have new problems unexpectedly crop up.
Just imagine, if Wei Xiao couldn’t resist and confessed over the phone,
what the result might be?
If the captain felt the same way, he might fly back from North America at
any minute. Would he even stay to heal his arm?
If the captain didn’t feel that way, then would Wei Xiao, who’d just suffered
a huge blow, still be able to play?
And they still wanted to be number one in the group? They might end up as
the bottom first in the group.
The Brother Cai who was only 20 years old had to bear a burden that he
shouldn’t have to at his age!
Bai Cai didn’t have time to care about the fact that Wei Xiao was still
playing. He pulled up a chair to sit next to him, speaking like a bitter old
woman, “Calm your state of mind. I feel that the captain doesn’t necessarily
have no interest in you.”
It was true that he didn’t have no interest, in fact, he was very interested.
Bai – self-acknowledged master of emotions – Cai continued, “But, you

can’t confess your feelings to him so rashly. You have to think about it
carefully. I’m not attacking you or throwing cold water on you, it’s just that
you only found out that you don’t like women after such a long time. What
if the captain hasn’t figured it out yet? We have to give the captain some
time, especially now that the captain is undergoing treatment. What if he’s
too stimulated by your confession and no longer wants to treat his injury!”
Brother Cai’s words were well spoken and reasonable. If it wasn’t that Wei
Xiao had kissed and hugged and slept with the captain a long time ago, he
might even have believed it.
“Let’s think about it positively. If your confession is successful, then will
you still have any interest in playing after that? You would want to call the
captain ten times a day, fly to North America, and you…”
Wei Xiao felt like he was being poked in all his sore points.
Even if Brother Cai’s brain circuits were so crooked they were headed
toward the Atlantic Ocean, based on his understanding of Wei Xiao, he
could still guess blindly and manage to poke accurately at Wei Xiao’s
weaknesses.
Wei Xiao: “Cough… I wouldn’t.”
He was trying to reduce it to three calls a day, uh, or maybe five, yeah…
well anyway, he wouldn’t fly over to North America!
Bai Cai thought that this meant he wouldn’t confess his feelings and was
relieved, “Brother, hold on, I’m on your side.”
Wei Xiao had pulled out this pile of nonsense concerns mainly to make Bai
Cai feel reassured. As a result, it was hard to say if he’d reassured this
vegetable stalk, but he’d definitely added to his worries.
Wei Xiao felt a little regretful. He shouldn’t have tried to pull this on him!
When Bai Cai looked at him now, his eyes were filled with pity. He didn’t
worry that the competition was giving Wei Xiao pressure and completely
believed that he was suffering bitterly from his secret crush.
Wei Xiao could only steel himself and continue, “Brother Bai, can you let
me have some quiet time on my own?”
Brother Cai sighed and patted him on the shoulder, “Don’t think too much
about it, go to bed early.”
Wei Xiao nodded ‘heavily’, “Okay.”
The door to the training room closed, and Wei Xiao also finished his game.
The bright word ‘Victory’ reflected in his eyes, but it failed to stir up the
slightest ripple in his emotions.
He didn’t want this kind of victory.
Wei Xiao clicked out of the game screen and opened up the game replay
from the afternoon game.
Although Chen Feng hadn’t gone over the game with them, Xiang Liu had
already brought back the video recording.
FTW against LH, a total of two matches. Adding on the BP segment, the
entire game only took one and a half hours.
It was a very fast game, quick, direct, and crushing. They hadn’t given the
other side any opportunity to breathe.
Wei Xiao stared at the match, watching it from his own perspective, then
watching it from the five perspectives of their opponents. He watched all of
them one after another.
LH had made a lot of mistakes, especially in the second game when their
mentality had collapsed and they were being slaughtered at will.
The five people on FTW’s side all played very well. Each player had some
brilliant plays, and their results weren’t bad.
Wei Xiao watched the game over and over again, from Tang Chen to Ning
Zhehan to Yue Wenle, and finally Bai Cai.
If someone else was here, they definitely wouldn’t know what Wei Xiao
was looking at.
A game like this, was there any need to keep watching it endlessly?
Was it necessary to review a crushing match repeatedly?
Under absolute superiority in strength, the contestants basically wouldn’t

expose any problems.
What was the point in him watching it over and over again?
The sky started to brighten, and the sound of the husky could be heard from
outside.
Wei Xiao seemed like he was waking up from a dream as he turned off the
replay video.
Five hours had passed in the blink of an eye. Wei Xiao rubbed his eyebrows
and said to himself, “It’s still… not enough.”
Nobody knew what he meant by ‘not enough’.
Just like how nobody knew what he was watching all night.
Wei Xiao turned off the computer, walked out of the training room, and
went back to his bedroom.
He hadn’t slept all night. As soon as he fell onto the bed, fatigue washed
over him like an ocean tide.
He didn’t even have strength left to take a bath. His fingertips touched his
cell phone, wanting to call Lu Feng.
No way…
Wei Xiao let go.
If he called at this time, the captain would know that he hadn’t slept all
night.
He couldn’t make him worry from a thousand miles away.
Wei Xiao might think this way, but his heart was still focused on him.
The captain should be going to the hospital today…
What was the diagnosis and treatment plan?

Could he be cured in two months?
With layers of thoughts weighing on his heart, Wei Xiao tilted his head on
the pillow and fell asleep.
He hadn’t pulled the curtains, and the morning sun fell on the youth’s fine
skin like a pair of warm hands.
Gently stroking him, pitying the fatigue under his black eyelashes.
There was no success without effort.
Behind this casual self-confidence was ten times the effort that ordinary
people couldn’t even imagine.
9AM North American time.
Yuan Ze got up early in the morning, then went to the balcony to dig out a
box of cigarettes from under the flowerpot.
To smoke or not to smoke, that was the question.
Nobody was there anyway…
VIVI: “Captain, you’re up so early?”
VIVI noticed the cigarette case between his fingers. He covered his eyes, “I
didn’t see it, I didn’t see anything.”
To hell with smoking, Laozi was a person who had determination!
God Yuan’s heart was bleeding as he tossed away his private stash of
cigarettes into the trash bin.
Who the hell knew why he’d decided to quit smoking….

Ahhhhh, who the hell knew why he was getting up so early to be a driver?
He even had a game in the afternoon!
Yuan Ze had a stomach filled with ‘who the hell knew’ as he got into his
flashy car and drove off to the hotel that Boss Lu was staying at.
Lu Feng had only slept for three or four hours, but his energy levels were a
hundred times better than Yuan Ze’s.
Lu Feng looked at him, “I can arrange my own transport.”
Yuan Ze was bad tempered first thing in the morning, “Get in the car.”
The car had a very low chassis, and the doors were low, making it very
unfriendly to people with long legs.
Lu Feng’s legs really were long. After sitting down, he commented, “Your
tastes are still so different.”
To Lu Feng, other than being flashy, it had nothing else going for it.
Yuan Ze: “……” If Laozi had as much money as you, Laozi would buy a
Rolls Royce too!
In order to vent his unhappiness, Yuan Ze said, “Sit tight. There aren’t as
many damned speed limits here.”
His foot pressed down on the accelerator. The powerful push back
highlighted Yuan Ze’s explosive temper.
It really was a case where Close would treat him like a kitty instead of a
tiger if he didn’t bite!
Unfortunately, the little brat who would’ve disdained him for driving like a
mad dog three years ago was now as stable as Mount Tai and didn’t even
wrinkle his brows.
Yuan Ze inexplicably had a feeling that people matured over time, a feeling
of vicissitude that came with getting older.
When they arrived at the hospital, Lu Feng refused Yuan Ze even before he
could ask, “Thank you, but I can handle it myself.”
Yuan Ze: “I’m already here….”
Lu Feng spoke mercilessly, “Industry secrets. Captain Yuan, please have

some dignity.”
Yuan Ze: “???”
He only managed to digest these words after the other party had left.
What damned industry secrets? Would Laozi sell the details about your
shoulder?!
Although, in a sense, he really could sell it…
Yuan Ze didn’t follow him, but he couldn’t stop worrying in his heart.
Instead of being concerned about Lu Feng’s inability to adapt to a strange

environment, he was more worried about his shoulder.
At the thought that it was very likely not from strain, Yuan Ze couldn’t help
feeling guilty.
If Close’s shoulder was because of them…
Then……
F*ck! Yuan Ze really had no heart, because his chest cavity was packed full
with a bunch of knives.
Lu Feng’s check-up was completed very quickly because he’d made an

appointment in advance.
The attending doctor was a middle-aged man with blonde hair. He nodded
to Lu Feng, “Please sit down for a moment.”
Lu Feng answered politely and sat to the side.

Checking over the results took a long time.
Lu Feng sat up straight, his attitude relaxed and calm. He didn’t seem to
care very much.
But if Yuan Ze was there, he would definitely have been able to tell that he
was nervous.
For the 18 year old Close, the first time he’d been nervous was when FTW
had prepared a birthday party for him.
It was a private little gathering that only involved the few people from the
Team of Gods.
Close had sat there, looking at the cake set down in front of him. His
slender fingers were curled up slightly on his legs, and his posture showing
a layer of unobtrusive formality.
Yuan Ze, who’d been holding the cake, had been amused, “Look at you, it
can’t be the first time you’ve celebrated a birthday!”
Close: “……”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Whose 18th birthday can be celebrated twice?”
Yuan Ze: “I can celebrate it dozens of times. After all, I’ll always be 18
years old.”
Kim Sung-hyun retorted, “Be a little less shameless.”
Lu Feng was seldom nervous, and the way he showed his nervousness was
different from others.
Those who weren’t particularly familiar with him wouldn’t be able to tell.
After all, his sitting posture was correct, his appearance was indifferent, and
his gaze was very calm. It didn’t look like he was tense––except for the
slightly curled fingers.
A long time later, the attending doctor looked at him, “You’re a professional
e-sports player?”
Lu Feng nodded, “Yes.”
The doctor set down the examination data in his hands and said some rather
academic words in a slow voice, “… The outcome of the treatment can’t be
guaranteed, especially with the characteristics of your profession… It’s
relatively difficult with this kind of demand for high precision… Especially
during treatment, you can’t touch the keyboard… How you recover during
this focused window… may affect the future game performance…”
When Lu Feng came out of the hospital, the sky was overcast.
Winter was basically the same everywhere. Cold and severe.
Yuan Ze had gotten some sleep while he was waiting.
He really regretted driving a race car out here; he couldn’t even sleep well.
Lu Feng was briefly stunned when he saw that he was still there.
Yuan Ze got out of the car and almost ended up freezing to death, “How’d it
go?”
Lu Feng went straight to the car, his voice carrying the chill from outside,
“Systematic treatment will begin the day after tomorrow.”
Yuan Ze rubbed his hands together for warmth, “It shouldn’t be a big
problem, right?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Yuan Ze was really curious, “How exactly did you get a shoulder injury?”
Lu Feng told him a lie with his eyes open, “It was born weak.”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”

With your goddamned height, your dream man’s figure, you’re claiming
that you were born with a weak body?
Can you give others a way to live?
The next FTW game was also at 3PM.
After the success of yesterday’s first game, the FTW team was filled with
energy and confidence today.
GOQ wasn’t a strong team, and the way they tackled the BP link was just
like LH.
They first banned the shadow thief as a sign of respect.
Wei Xiao didn’t care at all, “Let’s do another round with the berserker
thief?”
GOQ banned the berserker thief next, expressing their fear.
Bai Cai: “There’s still the immortal thief.”
GOQ must have arranged a ‘spy’ in FTW, because the next talent they
banned was the immortal thief.
Wei Xiao was amused, “Are they looking down on me?”
If they wanted to target Wei Xiao, they couldn’t do it by targeting his

veritable sea of a hero pool.
Chen Feng: “Hidden thief?”
Wei Xiao: “Blood thief.”
This talent hadn’t been used much in their training matches. Chen Feng
hesitated a little.
Wei Xiao: “Come on, let them see what it means to have hot blood spilling
all over the Glory Canyon.”
The heated blood was FTW’s, and the blood that would be spilled was
GOQ’s. This was going to be really great.
After staying up all night last night, Wei Xiao wanted to verify the
conclusions he’d drawn.
He knew where his weaknesses were, and he knew where the team’s gaps
were.
Cooperation and tacit understanding needed to be accumulated over time.
The others didn’t have that much time and energy, but he did.
Wei Xiao had watched the seemingly meaningless video replays over and
over again. In fact, he’d been building up his understanding of every
teammate in the canyon.
Their strengths, their weaknesses, their sense of rhythm, their personal

habits…
Wei Xiao wasn’t going to wait for others to cooperate with him. He was
going to take the initiative to cooperate with everyone else!
xiin: Goooo Wei Xiao!

Ch114 - The unremarkable Little
Lunatic
GOQ was really a little excessive. They’d probably been scared by Wei
Xiao after watching FTW’s game against LH yesterday and therefore
banned the thieves like crazy.
There were six ban places in a professional game. The first three here had
all been given to Wei Xiao.
After three bans, they could no longer continue to ban. Both parties had to
choose three talents to play.
FTW also acted crazy. Wei Xiao was targeted to this extent, but the first
three talents they chose still weren’t jungler positions. They just easily and
skillfully snatched up a few strong talents.
The scrolling comments were quite lively, “Come on, come on, let’s guess
if FTW is being too overconfident towards Quiet, or if they’ve already
given up on treatment.”
“From what I understand about the grandmaster, it should be the former.”
“Enough already. The shadow thief, berserker thief, and immortal thief have
all made it onto the ban spots. Does your Q Dad even have any other talent
specs to use?”
“I just want to quietly say, please think about what kind of ending those
domestic teams that targeted the great demon king experienced back then.”
The scrolling comments were filled with a bunch of ellipsis.

This was a good story that circulated around the China competition zone.
All six ban positions had been used on Close, yet in the end, was FTW’s
soul cut off?
No…
In the end, it was Close showing everyone a new jungler talent build.
Who said that only the shadow thief, hidden thief, berserker thief, immortal
thief… could pull off amazing plays?
He could take a death knight and still send you down to hell!
“I don’t believe that FTW could have another great demon king.”
“I don’t believe it either!”
“There won’t be another great demon king, but a lunatic king might
appear…”
Finally, after GOQ banned the hidden thief, the power thief, and the blade
thief––
FTW’s last position locked in the blood thief.
The commentators’ eyes lit up, “The blood thief? This talent has been on
the bench for a long time, and very few people have used it recently.”
“Its blood-sucking mechanism has been adjusted this season, its survival
ability is lower, and its DPS isn’t very high, making this talent quite
difficult to play.”
“The strong jungler talents have been banned, and GOQ snatched up the
death knight. There really aren’t many jungler talents left.”
“Taking the blood thief is alright. At least it’s good at self-protection. It will
be up to the immortal warlock and the frost hunter to turn the whole game
around this time!”
Because GOQ had targeted Wei Xiao like crazy, FTW had taken the
immortal warlock and frost hunter, ensuring Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle
had a level of strength
When the final line-up was determined, both sides’ jungler positions were a
bit disabled––
FTW: Berserker warrior, Blood thief, Immortal warlock, Light priest, Frost
hunter.
GOQ: Divine warrior, Death knight, Shadow mage, Giant shaman, Storm
hunter.
From just looking at the line-up, FTW had the advantage.
The top-lane, mid-lane, marksman, and even their support players had
obtained strong talents that they understood deeply.
On the other hand, GOQ had simply harmed themselves. Because they’d
given all their ban positions to Quiet, the other FTW positions were able to
move around like fish in water, taking whichever talent they wanted.
Was Ning Zhehan weak? Was Yue Wenle weak? Was God Tang weak?
In the GOQ team chat: “I know they’re very strong, but Quiet is so terrible
ahhhh-hic!”
“Scared into hiccups even before we start playing, what kind of sins have
Quiet committed?” ––The netizens who heard Glory’s Mic Explosion King
later on would say this.
Everyone from the commentators to the audience to the players in the field
all felt that Quiet taking the blood thief was expedient, a choice that had to
be made, and he was now forced to rely on his teammates to carry the
match.
There was only… the ‘true love fan’ LU who gave Quiet 520 roses.
Roses were five yuan each. They were cheaper than the hearts, but 520
roses was still amazing. In reality, it was also enough to buy a huge bouquet
of roses!
There were special effects when LU sent out a scrolling comment. Inside
the heart shaped bubble were a few cold, indifferent words, “The blood
thief is very strong.”
“The big boss spoke up!”
“The blood thief is strong? Are they saying that the talent is strong or that
Quiet’s blood thief is strong?”
“There are layers of context here, could this big boss know Quiet?”
All sorts of attention seeking scrolling comments appeared on the screen,

aimed at the big boss–– “Little sister, look at me, I also want to be taken
care of! Although I’m not as handsome as Quiet, and I’m not as strong as
Quiet, I work very hard…”
Of course, there were others who were shipping CPs, “Fellow sisters, I’m
going crazy, I feel that this tone of voice is very similar to Close. I’m done,
I’m dead, I’ve already made up a 450,000 character sweet little article in
my brain!”
At three o’clock in the morning, the jet lagged Lu Feng was watching the
live broadcast again.
This time, Yuan Ze hadn’t tried to have dinner with him. However Yuan Ze
had been bored, and with nothing to do he’d made his way back to the
domestic competitions to watch a very small regular season match.
Then, he’d seen LU on Quiet’s support list, the pink heart bubbles, the 520
roses, and that line of cold words.
There was no doubting it, no suspense about it. If this wasn’t Close, then he
would perform eating shit while doing a handstand live!
If he didn’t look, he wouldn’t know. But when he looked…
Yuan Ze was expressionless as he took a screenshot and sent it on along

with a comment, “Men in love are really terrible.”
He’d known early on that Close was black bellied, but he hadn’t expected
him to be this kind of repressed flirt!
Oh, this wasn’t being repressed, this was an obvious flirt!
Kim Sung-hyun: “?”
Yuan Ze reminded him, “Look at the ID!”
Kim Sung-hyun: “LU?”
If there wasn’t a hot dog eating Old G across from Yuan Ze, he would’ve
called Kim Sung-hyun directly, “It’s Close!”
Kim Sung-hyun: “I know that.”
Now it was Yuan Ze’s turn to send over a question mark.
If he knew, then why wasn’t he going through the process of being shocked,
dumbfounded, and stunned?
Kim Sung-hyun sent him an expression pack that was reserved for Old Dog
Yuan––a steaming hot pile of shit.
“It can’t be that you still don’t know Close’s sexual orientation, right?”
Yuan Ze: “………………”
Kim Sung-hyun laughed at him ruthlessly, “And you even read seven or
eight psychology books hahahahahahaha.”
Captain Yuan had just suffered 10,000 points of damage. He wanted to

block this ‘beloved disciple’ of his!
Due to Yuan Ze’s ‘breaking news’, Kim Sung-hyun also went into the
China competition zone’s live broadcast room.
Fortunately, there weren’t any special effects for professional players who
joined the live broadcast room. Otherwise, if such a thing existed, the entire
live broadcast room would probably explode––
What happened?!
Why would a regular season match between FTQ and GOQ attract two god
level people in the Glory circle!
FTW’s starter list didn’t even have Close.
And everyone in GOQ were surnamed ‘noob’.
It was a game that held no value in watching it. How had it attracted two
big guys like that!
Kim Sung-hyun had clicked in because he wanted to see the pink colored
LU. And then… he was blinded by roses.
He showed his cell phone to Li Heran, “It hurts the eyes.”
“Brother,” Kim Sung-hyun tsked, “Do you think Close has a secret crush or
have they already gotten together?”
This question stumped Captain Li. When it came to emotional problems,

Captain Li was much more sensitive than Senior Teacher Yuan.
Kim Sung-hyun shook his head, “It’s nice to be young.”
They really dared to go wild. If this ID was picked out…
Oh, it wasn’t a big deal. Who would believe it?

Close was a cold, emotionless great demon king who had nobody in his
heart. Who would dare to believe that he would first give out 520 hearts,
then 450 roses, and even top it all off with a 1314?
Kim Sung-hyun thought about Close’s expressionless appearance as he sent

out gifts and shook slightly––
Even an insider like him didn’t dare to believe it!
At first, Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun were watching LU, but later on, their
attention was drawn by the blood thief in the canyon.
Lu Feng had also grown serious as he watched the game and stopped
sending gifts.
The game had been going on for ten minutes, and there was no doubt about
the results. FTW was pressuring GOQ and beating them up until they were
crying out for their parents.
The commentators were also trying to analyze the situation in an impartial

tone, crazily giving GOQ a boost.
Only the discerning people could see the difference in this game.
Yuan Ze directly selected the blood thief’s perspective and stared at Quiet.
Kim Sung-hyun raised his eyebrows and propped up his cell phone, “This
little lunatic is really good.”
Lu Feng didn’t even blink as he watched. At first, he remained locked on

the blood thief’s perspective, but later, he began to frequently switch
perspectives––
When Wei Xiao went to the bottom lane, he switched to Yue Wenle’s
perspective.
When Wei Xiao went to the top lane, he switched to Tang Chen’s
perspective.
When Wei Xiao went to the mid-lane, he switched to Ning Zhehan’s
perspective.
Smooth and free.
It was these two words that appeared first in Close’s mind.
Yuan Ze was fascinated by the game. Old G came over, gnawing on a

hamburger, “FTW’s game?”
“GOQ? Haven’t heard of them.”
“Oh, Quiet’s blood thief is pretty good.”
Yuan Ze stared fixedly at Quiet, “Cigarette.”
Old G: “Aren’t you…”
He didn’t dare to say more and took out a cigarette from his pocket.
Yuan Ze held the cigarette in his mouth and just barely managed to press
down his surging emotions, “F*ck!”
Old G couldn’t see what the big deal was, “It’s just crushing the opponent…
anyone can do that.”
Yuan Ze took a breath, “…… Yan Jiang.”
Gary was stunned.
On the other side, Kim Sung-hyun smiled lightly and said to Li Heran, “I
didn’t expect to be able to see this level of compatibility with other players
in anyone except Yan Jiang.”
Li Heran had never been teammates with Yan Jiang, and had never
experienced this kind of compatibility, but as a support, he understood how
important it was.
Kim Sung-hyun pointed at the screen, “It’s still very immature, but it’s
really taking shape.”
Yuan Ze spoke to himself, “Did Close guide him?”
On the other side, Li Heran asked the same question, and Kim Sung-hyun
answered, “Impossible. Even Close can’t understand Yan Jiang’s ‘smooth
and free’.”
It sounded very mysterious, and it seemed even a little magical.
But, in fact, it was a very precise adjective. It was a kind of feeling that
could only be felt by playing as Yan Jiang’s teammate.
Smooth and free.
These two words weren’t about Yan Jiang or Wei Xiao. It was about how
their teammates felt.
A strong level of compatibility, an amazing observational ability, intuition,

and a talent that couldn’t quite be described that made it so that all
teammates felt at ease whenever they met him in the canyon.
It was like their field of vision had broadened, their pool of opportunities
had deepened, and even their thinking could be simplified. The road ahead
of them was paved, and they just had to make their plays!
It was a subtle feeling. It was hard to describe, but it was very real.
It was a trait that only the Team of Gods and the world champions Y1 had.
Now…
The new FTW had a bit of a prototype of the same thing.
Brother Cai: “Little Ning, pretty good, that flying on the clouds just now
was badass!”
Ning Zhehan spoke excitedly, “Reasonably speaking, even I don’t know
how I managed to get a double kill!”
Brother Cai laughed loudly, “Not bad, the inherited putting on an act is
there, too.”
For once, Wei Xiao didn’t say anything. He cleared out the stone creep and
headed straight to the lower jungle zone.
Someone stepped on the vision that Brother Cai had inserted there. He
spoke anxiously, “Old Wei, be careful.”
His voice had just fallen when Wei Xiao was ambushed. The giant shaman
used an ultimate move to launch him up into the air. The GOQ that was
basically hammered into seclusion had finally found an opportunity.
They were going to lose the game, and there was no hope of turning the
tables, but…
GOQ shouted, “Kill the blood thief!”
Although it was hard to describe it clearly, they could sense that they would
definitely die as long as the blood thief was around, even if none of the kill
count belonged to the blood thief.
“Kill him, kill him, the three of us can definitely squeeze him to death!”
GOQ’s jungler was particularly excited, “Let me get the kill, if I kill this
blood thief, Laozi will be able to show off for half a year!”
It had to be said that GOQ, who was showing ‘the last radiance of the
setting sun’, was very fierce. The shaman’s ultimate move was very well
executed, perfectly sending the blood thief flying.
GOQ’s jungler and shooter pounced over like they were crazy, the death
knight not even having enough time to switch forms. It relied on its flexible
movements to first land a set of skills on the blood thief while the storm
hunter stepped on raindrops and rushed at the blood thief in a frenzy.
Wei Xiao’s health bar plummeted like crazy, falling into the red zone while
he was still in the air.
Only when the health volume had fallen down to a seriously injured state,
and the player was about to topple to the ground and die at any time, would
a special effect appear.
A crazily flashing red bar indicated death. Everyone felt that Wei Xiao was
done for.
It seemed impossible for him to survive.
However, dying one didn’t matter. It didn’t affect the outcome of the game.
The live broadcast camera cut to Wei Xiao, showing a close-up of his
profile.
The youth who had a pale complexion and very dark eyes looked at the
screen calmly and steadily, showing no traces of panic.
The camera shifted downwards, falling on his equally pale hands.
Beautiful fingers, amazing hand speed. The sound of the keyboard seemed
to transmit through the silent screen straight into the hearts of countless
viewers.
The commentators: “The blood raven thief turned back!”
“Quiet only has a sliver of blood left. He’s used a ‘feather transform’ to
rush at the storm hunter, the ‘blood raven’s kiss’ to mark the storm hunter…
Quiet’s started up his ultimate move!”
……
……
FTW.Quiet killed GOQ.yuyu.

FTW.Quiet killed GOQ.qingtian.
FTW.Quiet killed GOQ.xiafei.
FTW.Quiet triple kill!
This wasn’t an ordinary triple kill, this was a reversal with only a sliver of
health!
The commentators recounted the situation with very fast words, but
unfortunately, everyone who was watching the game didn’t hear them.
Their scalps were numb. This wave of operations were so excellent that it
had made everyone’s goosebumps jump right up.
His positioning, turning back, closing the distance, opening up his ultimate
move to regain health, his passive healing…
In every sliver of every millisecond, if there had been even the tiniest bit of
error, it would be impossible for him to play out such a wonderful series of
moves!
North America, South Korea.
Yuan Ze & Kim Sung-hyun: “F*ck!”
The hot dog in Old G’s hands fell.
Yan Jiang was very terrible, but no matter how terrible he was, he was still
confined to a support position that couldn’t deal DPS.
This kid…
Kim Sung-hyun exhaled gently, then leaned back against his e-sports chair,
“The younger generation is really formidable.”
How shocking this little lunatic would be when he grew up completely.

Ch115 - Captain, did you go there
to treat your shoulder or study how
to speak words of love?
The blood thief’s full name was the blood raven thief.
Before tonight, this was a hero talent that sat on the bench. Not to mention
in professional games, it was very rarely used even in passers-by games.
The blood raven thief was actually very cool with his dark tuxedo and top
hat outfit. In his hand was a black cane, and he had a blood-colored raven
on his left shoulder.
When this talent had just launched, it had been a favorite for countless
players.
Not only did the blood raven thief look handsome, it also had remarkable
skills; its passive would trigger a healing effect with every three basic
attacks, leaving a blood raven feather that marked the opponent; its first
skill was called the blood raven’s kiss, which would forcibly control the
opponent for half a second and mark its opponent; the second skill was
feather transform, which was a two section movement skill for attack and
escape; its third skill was called raven fall, which could cause explosive
damage once it hit a target that was marked by its raven feathers.
Its final ultimate move was called blood oath. As the name suggested, it
took blood as an oath. Raven feathers would fill the skies, absorbing the
blood of its enemies and using it to recover its own health.
From a technical perspective, this talent could both attack and defend. It
also had a high survivability, and it was actually very good.
This had indeed been the case when the talent spec first launched. Later on,
the game developer daddies had nerfed him down, reducing the amount of
health it could recover and increasing the difficulty of its operations. They’d
chopped this cool brother into pieces.
It could attack? Oh, the ‘raven fall’ that could cause explosive damage had
become as useless as chicken feathers.
It could defend? The feather transform’s movement directions had been

reversed. Those who had crippled hands often didn’t understand why they
ended up flying into someone else’s sword when they actually wanted to
run away.
The worst was the ultimate move: blood oath. Originally, the raven feathers
would fall, and all living beings would lose health. Now… all living beings
would hammer him down into a little brother.
It was with such a talent spec that Wei Xiao managed to perform
beautifully.
GOQ’s attempt to turn the tables was really beautiful. Regardless of

whether it was their control or their DPS, all of it was there.
And Wei Xiao really had been caught off guard. That plummeting health
bar proved everything.
But he didn’t panic. The blood thief abruptly used feather transform and
attacked the squishy storm hunter. The passive that triggered after three
attacks triggered his own healing effect as well as marking the storm hunter,
then the blood raven’s kiss controlled the storm hunter who had wanted to
attack him back just as he opened up the blood oath.
As the red raven’s feathers covered the sky, the storm hunter’s health bar
plummeted like crazy, while the health bar of the blood thief who’d been
about to die gradually filled up.
––Give me your blood, so that I can live.

This was the blood raven thief’s ability to fight back!
GOQ’s death knight responded quickly. Seeing that the storm hunter
couldn’t hold on, he’d already started to help deal damage. Unfortunately,
the blood raven thief who’d used his ultimate move to recover half his
health didn’t retreat at all. He used his positioning to avoid being hit, then
used the feather transform to pull away. It seemed like he was about to run
away, but when the death knight chased after him, he turned around and
used another three attacks to trigger his passive as well as the blood raven’s
kiss.
The death knight who’d been controlled was stunned, and the blood thief
whose skills were off cooldown used ‘raven fall’ again. The death knight
who only had half his health fell under the blood thief’s black cane.
Then, Ning Zhehan arrived, and the giant shaman took the brunt of the
immortal warlock’s wave of skills. Finally, his kill was taken away by the
blood raven’s kiss.
After this wave, GOQ’s vitality suffered great damage and they were left
completely unable to lift up their heads again.
So, this ambush that had been brewing for such a long time, such a
beautiful team fight opening, such awesome DPS, in the end…
Not only did they not manage to kill the blood thief, they’d also sent out a
triple kill. The sound of crying in GOQ’s team chat was really loud!
In the first game, FTW exploded GOQ’s crystal and won the game with
overwhelming momentum.
In the second game, GOQ was just like a group of scared chickens, insta-
banning the blood raven thief.
The scrolling comments were filled with sighs, “Hey, hey, hey, I still want
to see God Q show off his blood raven!”
“GOQ, don’t cower, what’s the point in banning? There are a total of six
ban spots, can you ban them all?”
They really couldn’t ban them all. GOQ was currently performing the very
meaning of ‘robbing Peter to pay Paul’.
As they banned and continued to ban, the back of the flustered GOQ coach
chilled, “The berserker thief!”
F*ck, they’d forgotten to ban the berserker thief.
GOQ’s jungler was still young. He spoke naively, “Perhaps FTW won’t
snatch up the jungler position in the first slot.”
And then…
Wei Xiao, who was in the first position, took the berserker thief.
Everyone in GOQ: “……………………”
GOQ’s jungler Yuyu almost cried out loud.
This team didn’t play cards according to common sense. They did whatever
they wanted, whenever they wanted QAQ!
The Wei Xiao who’d gotten the berserker thief––
Well, forget it, let’s not talk about this game. We’ll leave GOQ with a pair
of pants at least.
In FTW’s second game in the regular season, they crushed their opponents
2:0.
The atmosphere amongst the fans was driven up by their results, and the old
fans who’d been worried also felt a little relieved.
That’s good, that’s good, although their captain wasn’t there, FTW was still
very strong!
This newcomer Quiet was really capable. He was a tough guy who could
smash down the cresting waves on the beach with his strength!
Of course, there were also more than a few haters and jealous people, “F
fans, wake up. They’re up against 3U next week, we’ll wait for your Daddy
Q to show his true colors then.”
The fans held up the fort, “Asleep is someone that One Lamp Grandmaster
brought out, so how will that be showing his true colors? That’s more like a
tiger coming down from the mountain!”
”What does solo amount to? Your great demon king is number one in the
world for solo, but what use is that? They still end up doing round trips in
the global competitions.”
“Haha, has your 3U ever gotten a championship?”
“Our 3U performed better in the globals than your FTW!”
“It’s just luck, don’t you feel ashamed talking about it?”
Alright then, fighting every day was normal. The China competition zone
would be really cold and desolate if there wasn’t any fighting.
After the game ended, and they went backstage, Wei Xiao’s eyes went
straight to his cell phone.
Brother Cai glanced over and felt that his heart was as clear as a mirror: It
had been such a great game, he must want to show off to his sweetheart.
Brother Cai’s teeth hurt.
In fact, Wei Xiao didn’t really want to show off. He wanted to go look at
the live broadcast studio and see LU…
Although he’d told Lu Feng not to waste money, he still wanted to see if
he’d said anything in particular.
Sigh.
Wei Xiao was a little melancholy. He hadn’t been able to talk properly with
the captain all day; he missed him.
He hadn’t felt it during the game, but this emptiness after the game could
only be filled up by the captain.
Chen Feng: “Who’s going up for the interview?”
He’d asked this intentionally.
Otherwise, Brother Cai would’ve gone up onto the stage with just a look
from him.
At this time, Wei Xiao was still suffering from the bitterness of parting. He
might as well accept an interview to relax. “I’ll go.”
Chen Feng nodded, “Yes.”
Today, Wei Xiao could go up for the interview because firstly, the question
about Close leaving the team had already been dealt with by Bai Cai
yesterday, and it wouldn’t be interesting if the host asked it again today;
secondly, Quiet’s performance had really been brilliant today, especially
that counter attack with the blood thief that had stunned the whole audience.
With a topic like that to focus on, they wouldn’t bring up old affairs again.
Sure enough, Chen Feng had figured out the host thoroughly. When Wei
Xiao came up onto the stage, she didn’t think of asking any gossip
questions at all. It was all…
“God Q, the blood thief was played really well today!”
The host was a girl, and girls always had a natural sense of goodwill
towards little brothers who looked so good.
Not only was he handsome, his smile was a little wicked, and it was just all
too attractive.
Wei Xiao was very easygoing, “Standard operations.”

To hell with your ‘standard’! Everyone in GOQ threw up blood.
The host smiled broadly and continued asking, “This standard level is really
not the same as usual, especially during that last 1v3 wave. When faced
with such a tough situation, how did God Q manage to turn the tables?”
Wei Xiao spoke very sincerely, “I didn’t think too much about it…”
The host was all ears, “Oh?”
Wei Xiao: “I just did it.”
Host: “……”
Audience: “……”
The scrolling comments were filled with ‘hahahahaha’, and then someone
started the trash talk, “Be careful, GOQ, the three of you have been
surrounded by Quiet!”
Host: “Cough, your brave and fearless momentum is worth learning from.”
Wei Xiao nodded, “There are also some details, is there a video replay
here? I can tell you about it in detail…”
The host was a little confused, “???”
What was going on?
Bai Cai, who was backstage, felt his heart stutter, “F*ck, don’t give him the
video replay, absolutely don’t!”
Ning Zhehan & Yue Wenle’s reactions were also, “……”
All the players who’d seen the grandmaster’s ‘game replay videos’ all
sucked in a breath, wishing they could reach out their hands up in prayer
and beg to be let off.
Fortunately, the interview table didn’t have this function. Although the host
was curious, she could only try to smooth things out and say, “When it
comes to a replay, we’d better leave it to the commentators.”
Wei Xiao: “Alright.”
What’s the deal with your regretful tone? It feels like you really would blow
your own horn if you were given the opportunity.
Yes.
The grandmaster’s disciples all expressed, “He really can!”
After the game, they went out to eat as usual.
Because of Brother Cai’s presence, Wei Xiao forced himself not to look at
his cell phone.
After they got to the restaurant, and everyone sat down, Wei Xiao got up,
“I’m going to the bathroom.”
Bai Cai stared at him.
Wei Xiao stuffed his left hand into his trouser pocket and went out,
pretending not to have seen anything.
Brother Cai sent him a message, “Hold on, don’t get carried away!”
Seeing that he wasn’t replying, Bai Cai ‘threatened’ him, “Be careful about
not making the captain lose interest in treatment.”
Wei Xiao regretted it. If he’d known it would be like this, he would’ve let
Brother Cai get immersed in the team pressure and worry about whether he
could hold up, rather than talk to him about this issue.
Bai Cai felt a little more at ease after giving his warnings, but then he saw
Wei Xiao’s reply, “As long as the captain doesn’t flirt with me, I’ll be able
to hold on.”
Brother Cai: “…………”
Half a beat later, Brother Cai replied to him, “What are you thinking? How
could the captain flirt with you!”
When you were teasing him blindly during the winter training camp, the
captain managed to remain unmoved and unaffected. Now…
In any case, Brother Cai couldn’t imagine how the cold and aloof great
demon king would flirt with people.
Wei Xiao clicked open the live broadcast room. When he saw the pink LU,
the corners of his mouth couldn’t be held down at all.
He made a voice call.
The voice of the great demon king who would never flirt with people was
so sexy it could tease people to death, “Awesome.”
Wei Xiao’s ears itched. He clutched at his cell phone and spoke in a low
voice, “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t give more gifts.”
Lu Feng paused, “I couldn’t help it.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved, “There’s no reason why you couldn’t help it.”
Lu Feng: “The blood thief is too attractive, I couldn’t help wanting to give
him gifts.”
F*ck! He would die from the captain’s sweet talk sooner or later
“Captain…” Wei Xiao tried hard to pull things back in the proper direction,
“Did you go there to treat your shoulder or study how to speak words of
love?”
Lu Feng sighed, “Neither.”
Wei Xiao’s heart was itchy, “Eh?”
Lu Feng: “I’m here to miss you.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
Lost, he lost.
Wei Xiao, who’d won the game, lost to his boyfriend instead!
Wei Xiao’s heart was still focused on proper matters. After a few sweet
exchanges, he asked, “You went to get a check up yesterday, how’d it go?”
Lu Feng reassured him, “Systematic physiotherapy will begin the day after
tomorrow.”
Wei Xiao was worried, “Will the physiotherapy hurt?”
Lu Feng: “No.”
Wei Xiao paused briefly, then continued, “You have to listen to the doctor’s
words, and it’s enough to just send me voice messages when you’re idle.
Don’t tire out your shoulder.”
Lu Feng’s heart felt soft and warm, “It’s not that serious.”
Wei Xiao was reluctant to hang up, “Is the blood thief really that
attractive?”
Wei Xiao teased him deliberately, “So attractive that you couldn’t help
giving gifts.”
Lu Feng satisfied him, “Because it’s you.”
Wei Xiao: “!!”

He’d clearly been looking for sugar to eat, but when he really got it, it was
so sweet that he himself couldn’t stand it.
In view of how he might take advantage of how there was no competition

now to fly to North America overnight if the conversation continued, he
could only restrain himself and hang up the phone.
He didn’t want to go back to the room after hanging up. He dawdled instead
and sent Lu Feng a message, “I want to see you.”
Lu Feng: “We’ll video call when you get back to the base.”
Wei Xiao: “No way, you should sleep.” It was already very early in the
morning over there.
Lu Feng: “Tomorrow?”
Wei Xiao licked his lips, “Take a photo for me.”
Wei Xiao: “Just one photo, let me see you.”
“Wuwuwu, how could we have failed in that wave!”
“I feel like I didn’t make any mistakes. Take a look at my ultimate move,
the blood thief was directly sent flying.”
“I didn’t mess up, either. Look at my series of linked moves, they were all
full-on, okay!”
“My arrows also caused enough damage, take a look at how much health he
dropped.”
“But…”
It was the three from GOQ who were crying there bitterly. This restaurant
was full every day, and those who didn’t make a reservation would have to
wait. The three of them were waiting in the waiting area, watching the game
replay and crying loudly as they waited.
Wei Xiao just happened to pass by.
The waiter had already peeked at them several times.
Did they need to go so far? It was just a game, did they have to take it so
seriously?
An outsider who didn’t watch e-sports wouldn’t understand.
GOQ’s little jungler, “Quiet isn’t human. Take a look at that feather
transform…”
A light, floating voice inserted itself into the conversation with no sense of
dissonance, “This feather transform is just routine operation. Pay attention
to my basic attacks after the feather transform. The second part of the
feather transform followed by a blood raven’s kiss, with a third basic attack
at the same time. The passive healing effect was the key point to survival.”
The three people from GOQ hadn’t yet realized that there was an additional
person amongst them.
“Yeah, yeah, this passive health recovery is too accurate, it was just enough
to offset the damage from my arrows.”
“In fact, that’s nothing much. The real highlight is the positioning later on.
Do you see that? That made me able to avoid the collision from the death
knight.”
“Yes, yes, yes, Laozi felt that it was 100% going to hit, but he ended up
dodging it!”
“And here, you know the blood oath’s passive? It can grant immunity
against the full amount of damage from the target who had the most health
sucked away, that’s why the storm hunter couldn’t kill me.”
“Holy shit, this passive has conditions that need to be met. Did Quiet
manage to meet the conditions? How could he be so calm and self-
sustaining in such a short time, in such a dangerous situation?”
“It’s nothing much, it’s just natural talent.”
The three people who’d realized something finally stepped out of their
crying mood.
They noticed that something wasn’t right and turned around––
Wei Xiao gave them a friendly smile.
The three from GOQ: “…………………..”

Ch116 - Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry,
I’m only showing it to one person.”
What was the most embarrassing thing in the world?
Being tortured to the point of holding one’s head and crying, and then when
looking back, finding that the cause was right there behind you.
What’s more, this wolf had snuck into the flock of sheep and told them
about how he’d torn into their throats with his sharp teeth for a good while.
The jungler, who was the youngest in GOQ, “Wu… wu!”
Indeed, it was real crying, not just an exaggeration or an adjective. It was

that he couldn’t hold back his emotions and shed the hot tears of youth.
GOQ’s jungler was aware of his own embarrassment. He wiped his tears,
“I… I…” The more he wanted to explain, the more he ended up crying.
Wei Xiao quickly pulled out some tissues for him, “Don’t cry.”
GOQ’s jungler finally managed to speak, “Weren’t you the one who
hammered me into tears?”
This explanation was obviously a cover up.
Wei Xiao wasn’t in a hurry to go back to their dining room. He crowded in

by their side and sat down, “Look here.”
The three from GOQ made room for him.

Wei Xiao’s fingers were long and slender, and his joints were particularly
good looking. When a finger pointed at the cell phone screen, it looked like
a tender bamboo shoot. “The death knight’s operations were timely, but
there wasn’t enough DPS.”
The GOQ jungler was the one who’d used the death knight. He wasn’t
crying anymore, “But I wouldn’t have been able to catch up with you if I
switched forms.”
Wei Xiao clicked the progress bar and pulled it back, “If you were standing
in this position when the giant shaman controlled me, wouldn’t you have
had enough time to switch forms?”
GOQ’s jungler: “……”
Wei Xiao continued, “After switching forms, if you started with a heavy
sword attack, then a soul scream, I’d have been controlled until I had to call
you daddy.”
The three from GOQ: “……………”
It was very reasonable, very sharp, but the question was: how could it be
done?!
Not to mention that tricky positioning – even after switching forms, with
the heavy sword attack and soul scream, it would still all be useless if the
enchanted state wasn’t triggered!
Wei Xiao replayed it again, pointing to the storm hunter and saying, “This
part is really great, the stepping on raindrops was very timely.”
GOQ’s marksman was confused after inexplicably getting praised.
Wei Xiao: “Of course, no matter how timely it was, I still wouldn’t have
died.”
Marksman-kun: “…………” There was just no way to refute him!

Wei Xiao made it a point to praise the giant shaman, “This ultimate move
was really awesome. When I was shot up into the air by your move, I was
really very happy.”
The four of them had been chatting together for so long that there was no
feeling of estrangement anymore.
They were all 18, 19 year olds and didn’t think so much about such things.
Wei Xiao might be flashy, but his words were really interesting.
And the three people from GOQ could also feel that Wei Xiao was helping
them go over the replay. Although he would start to praise himself halfway
through––it wasn’t wrong, Quiet was really very strong, and he had reason
to boast!
GOQ’s support was curious, “Why were you so happy?”
I controlled you, yet you were happy?
If Brother Cai, who understood Wei Xiao, was present, he would definitely
say: Don’t ask! Fellow brother, isn’t it great to be alive?
Unfortunately, GOQ’s support player didn’t know this and asked the
question.
Wei Xiao smiled slightly, “Before that, I thought you guys were going to be
crappy from start to finish.”
Everyone from GOQ: “……………”
When Wei Xiao went back to their private room contentedly, Bai Cai stared
at him, “Constipated?”
“Get lost!” Wei Xiao was in a good mood. He placed a bag of snacks on the
table in front of Brother Cai, “Gifts from next door.”
Bai Cai: “???”

Afraid that Brother Cai would think too much about it, Wei Xiao said,
“After going to the toilet, I saw the three from GOQ waiting in line and
chatted with them for a while.”
The corner of Brother Cai’s lips twitched, “Chatted for a while?”
He had a bit of a bad premonition.
Wei Xiao sipped his watermelon juice through the straw in his mouth,
“Yeah, I reviewed the game replay with them and moved them so much that
they stuffed snacks at me.”
There was a bag of potato chips in the pile. Yue Wenle had already torn it
open and was ready to start eating.
Brother Cai was startled and quickly moved to stop him, “Don’t eat it!”
Yue Lele: “?”
Brother Cai: “GOQ hates Wei Xiao to death. The snacks that they gave him
have to be poisonous!”
There was a crunch. Yue Wenle had already started eating.
Fortunately, Wei Xiao was drinking with a straw, because otherwise, he

might have sprayed his drink out, “F*ck your daddy, Bai Cai. Is Laozi so
unlikable?”
Bai Cai forced Yue Wenle to spit it out, “Just based on your replay reviews,
who wouldn’t want to poison you.”
Wei Xiao smiled as he scolded him, “Don’t destroy my clean reputation.”
Wei Xiao didn’t stay up late that day. Before he went to bed, he held his cell
phone and looked at it again and again. Finally, he carefully saved the photo
into an encrypted album.
He was the only one who could see this private photo of the captain!
Ah, he really missed him.
Wei Xiao rubbed his face against his pillow and ended up sleeping pretty
well.
Lu Feng’s first physical therapy session was at around one o’clock in the
afternoon.
While Wei Xiao was sleeping most soundly, he’d just started the first stage
of the first course of treatment.
The doctor ran through a lot of precautions, and Lu Feng acknowledged

them one by one.
The doctor emphasized, “It may be very painful. Please try to bear with it.”
Lu Feng nodded, “I’ll be in your care.”
After a full hour and a half, Lu Feng’s entire top was soaked in sweat, and
his face was as white as paper.
The attending doctor was very impressed, “You’re very brave.”
He hadn’t made any complaints throughout the whole process, not even a
grunt. He’d endured the whole treatment with amazing perseverance.
The doctor comforted him, “We’ll have another examination after a week.
If the effects are good, there’s hope that the shoulder injury will recover to
70%.”
Lu Feng’s face was a little flushed, “Thank you.”
The results from the preliminary examination hadn’t been very optimistic.
The requirements towards micro-operations in the e-sports profession were

too high. This kind of trauma impacted many aspects.
There were both physical and psychological factors. The difficulty was too
high for a full recovery, and the doctor couldn’t guarantee that.
However, Lu Feng’s perseverance and persistence today had touched the
attending doctor.
He longed to be healed and had a strong belief in his heart as well as a

powerful focus on returning to the game.
Even if he didn’t say a word, this kind of mood had been conveyed to
everyone who saw his physiotherapy session.
How could fate be willing to crush someone so persistent?
Because he’d gone to bed early, Wei Xiao also woke up early. He opened up
his eyes just after ten o’clock.
Wei Xiao fished out his cell phone and called Lu Feng.
Lu Feng answered it quickly, “Have you eaten?”
Wei Xiao spoke at almost the same time, “How was your physiotherapy?”
And then, they replied at the same time––
“Haven’t eaten.” “It was alright.”
The two voices speaking at the same time made them both laugh.
Wei Xiao simply turned on the speakerphone and went to the bathroom to
wash up while chatting with Lu Feng.
The two people chatted aimlessly. Although they weren’t together, it still
seemed like they were by each other’s side.
Powerful technology made long-distance relationships less painful, but it

also seemed to be more painful in some ways.
After all, if they could only write letters back and forth, the cycle between
each contact would be long enough that they could go about their own lives
day to day.
However, calling was too casual and easy, making one want to remain in
contact with each other all the time and not care about anything else.
Wei Xiao urged Lu Feng to go to sleep.
Lu Feng: “Can’t sleep.”
Wei Xiao curved his lips, “Then accompany me to rank?” He knew that Lu
Feng couldn’t touch the game during this period.
Wei Xiao took his cell phone with him to the training room and, taking
advantage of how nobody else was up, openly kept the speakerphone on as
he logged into the game.
City B, 3U Club.
Cong Yi got up early in the morning and pushed open the door to the
training room. He found someone inside, “Haven’t slept?”
Asleep: “……”
Cong Yi: “Oh, you woke up so early?”
Asleep nodded.
Cong Yi continued, “Have you had breakfast? There are small steamed
buns and preserved egg congee. The small steamed buns are a little greasy,
but the preserved egg congee is pretty good.”
Cong Yi: “No, if you want to eat then go downstairs yourself.”
Asleep: “Oh.”
This scene appeared often in the 3U base. If there was an outsider here,
they’d probably be so shocked that their mouths would drop open.
Who could tell them what this lazy youth who was leaning back in the e-
sports chair had said?
Why was it that when faced with this ‘wordless silence’, someone else
could still answer so naturally?
This wasn’t a problem of reading lips or not, it was telepathy!
Not to mention outsiders, even the insiders in 3U were obsessed with and
confused about this matter.
They couldn’t understand Sleep God, and they understood the Cong Yi who
understood Sleep God even less.
In short, these two added up to the capital word ‘CONFUSED’!
After Cong Yi went around for a stroll, he ultimately still went downstairs
to pick up some small steamed buns, “There’s no more congee.”
Cong Yi: “There’s none left even if you want to drink it. I can’t cook it.”
Asleep silently picked up the small steamed bun and ate it slowly.
3U’s Asleep, the strangest captain in the history of the China competition
zone.
Oh… the last one who’d held the title was Money.
Money’s famous history didn’t need to be mentioned, he’d spent so much

money it covered the sky.
A captain as strange and magical as Money had actually been overtaken by

Captain Asleep, which proved just how ‘strange’ Asleep was.
Cong Yi stood behind him, “… Quiet used the blood thief?”

He’d thought that Asleep would be ranking. He hadn’t expected that he
would be watching a game replay.
He wasn’t watching a 3U game. It was the FTW vs GOQ game from

yesterday.
Cong Yu looked it over and understood, “This blood thief can play.”
After eating three small steamed buns, Asleep stopped. He’d used
chopsticks the whole time and hadn’t gotten any oil on his hands. After
watching the video, he set down his chopsticks and logged into the game.
Cong Yi saw what he saw, “What a coincidence.”
It really was a coincidence. Wei Xiao had also just come online as Asleep
logged in.
The two of them were friends, and Asleep had also set up a special
reminder for Quiet, so he saw him come online at a glance.
Just when Wei Xiao was about to click to start queueing––
3U.Can’t Sleep: “Solo?”
Wei Xiao was also quite surprised. He read out loud to Lu Feng as he typed.
3U.Can’t Sleep: “Use the blood thief.”
Can’t Sleep: “Come on.”
Wei Xiao: “Hold on, let me start up a live broadcast.”
Can’t Sleep: “?”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry, I’m only showing it to one person.”

If it was solo, then he definitely couldn’t chat easily with the captain, and
there was a delay when spectating from within the game, so it was easier to
open up a live broadcast for him.
Can’t Sleep: “Who?”
Wei Xiao typed out these words with great joy, “My captain.”
Can’t Sleep: “……”
Wei Xiao wasn’t familiar with the live broadcast app. He messed around for
a while in order to get it set up, and in order to avoid being disturbed, he set
up a password for the room.
After giving the password to the captain, Wei Xiao said, “Come on, then.”
Asleep invited him.
After the two of them entered the game, they picked their heroes right away.
Wei Xiao took the blood thief, and Asleep also took the blood thief.
Wei Xiao raised his eyebrows, “Not bad, I like bullheaded people like this.”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao’s radar alerted him, “I only like the captain.”
Lu Feng: “I’m bullheaded?”
Trash Talk Wei had basically met his match, “Captain, I was wrong, I won’t
talk nonsense again!” He was very quick to act coquettish.
And then…
FTW.Close gifted FTW.Quiet 520 roses.
Wei Xiao’s face felt a little hot, “Captain… You’re using your main
account.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “What if it’s seen?”
Lu Feng: “Nobody’s here.”
There really wasn’t anyone there. The room had a password on it, so
passers-by couldn’t get in at all.
However, Wei Xiao, who wasn’t very proficient with the live broadcasting
business, didn’t know that he’d sent out a link.
The live broadcast platform was linked to his Weibo account. Once the live
broadcast was started up, it would share a link on Weibo.
Wei Xiao’s Weibo fan count wasn’t low now, and as soon as everyone saw
the shared link, they all rushed over.
How dedicated!
Quiet had started live broadcasting so early.
As a result…
Eh, why was there a password?
F*ck, why was there only one audience member in the whole studio?!
xiin: uh-oh…
Ch117 - Your boyfriend is getting
bullied, captain!
Live broadcast rooms with the privacy setting on were well protected.
Outsiders could only see the room owner’s name and one other piece of
information below that––Audience: 1 person.
Wei Xiao’s name as the room owner couldn’t be changed. It was the
professional ID that he’d signed the contract with, so the ID FTW.Quiet was
as obvious as could be.
He wasn’t flustered; private rooms wouldn’t be recommended on the front

page, and he hadn’t had time to live broadcast since the start of the season,
so fans wouldn’t come to stalk and wait, and nobody should be able to find
out his little secret.
However…
Brother Xiao, whose plan was flawed, had never thought that the live
broadcast platform and Weibo would join hands to ‘pit’ him.
Fans flocked to the studio, wanting to watch God Q’s live broadcast,
excitedly wanting to chat with him about how to play so wonderfully with
the blood thief.
They came and were stopped at the door.
It was enough that everyone was stopped, but there just had to be someone
inside the room!
That made it worse.

Curiosity was like a pot of hot oil. It seemed very calm, but as soon as a
drop of water was dropped in, it would be enough to make it explode.
The fans blew up!
“Who is it? Who is being favored by our God Q?”
“Ahhhhh, I’ve been waiting for a month since the opening game, but this is
what I get?”
“Which little seductress is it? Report your name, I’m going to solo with
you!”
“God Q is only 19, right? He already has a girlfriend? And he spoils her so
much? So jealous, so jealous.”
“God Q, I want to go in, let me in…”
“Previous poster, I suspect that you’re talking dirty.”
“Be a little more confident and simply get rid of the ‘suspect’ part of that
sentence.”
Weibo was bustling with activity. The fans couldn’t send scrolling
comments in the live broadcast room, so they simply started going wild
under the shared Weibo link.
At ten o’clock in the morning, they didn’t go to school and didn’t go to

work. Instead, they stalked Weibo and played at being Sherlock Holmes.
One popular comment after another floated up to the top. Some guessed that
it was his girlfriend, others guessed that it was LU, others that it was
Brother Cai, and there were even those who thought it was Little Ning, Yue
Wenle, Queen Chen, or even the men that the grandmaster had hammered
before.
The twin junglers girls flew straight in and expressed, “It’s Close!”
They were immediately drowned out, “Wake up, Close doesn’t watch any
live broadcasts.”
“Don’t get all excited just because of one LU. That can’t possibly be
Close.”
“Make way, CP fans, stop blocking the way for the detectives.”
“Password, password, big bosses, quickly come and solve the case!”
The twin junglers had started late, and their presence wasn’t grand enough.
They ended up crowded into a small corner by everyone else.
The comment that had guessed that it was Close only had 520 likes.
Hey, 520?
Interesting.
But no matter how noisy Weibo got, it didn’t affect Wei Xiao who’d
activated the ‘do not disturb’ mode.
He was very immersed in his solo with Asleep.
The blood raven thief wasn’t a popular talent, but professional players
would still practice it appropriately.
Wei Xiao had honed his own against Lu Feng. When the two of them
soloed, other than support heroes, they would even work their way through
the marksman and mages, let alone the blood raven thief that belonged to
the thief department.
The blood raven thief had two legendary skins. One was Wei Xiao’s tuxedo,
top hat, and black walking stick, and the other was a wild clown’s outfit
with a multi pointed hat, long boots, and a candy cane walking stick that
had a bloody crow standing on it.
One was the minimalist aesthetic, and the other was wild. It was very
interesting when they both stood together in the canyon.
Within five minutes into the start of the game, the fighting was already
white hot.
When it came to solo between the same talent, it was all about personal
details.
Don’t judge Asleep based on how he was always drowsy in real life. Once
he entered the game, it was like his second personality awakened.
How lifeless he was in reality was balanced out by how crazy he was in the
game.
It was like all the energy he’d saved up in the 3D world was all vented out
in the canyon.
Wei Xiao was controlled by Asleep’s blood raven’s kiss and couldn’t move.
Asleep obviously wouldn’t let off such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity;

with the third skill raven’s fall paired up with a basic attack, a set of
explosive damage smashed over, leaving Wei Xiao at critical health.
Lu Feng laughed briefly.
Wei Xiao saw that he was about to die, but his mouth was still as cocky as
ever, “Your boyfriend is getting bullied, captain, but you’re still laughing.”
Lu Feng didn’t say much and sent him another batch of roses.
Wei Xiao was amused, “If you flirt with me again, I’m really going to die.”
His mouth might say that, but his fingers were very steady. When Asleep’s
last basic attack came, Wei Xiao’s controlled state was over. He instantly
clicked on the second skill feather transform, using the two movement
cooldowns to pull away, leaving only a few scarlet raven feathers on the
ground.
Asleep had expected him to retreat, so he also used the same feather
transform to chase over, and the clown’s candy cane was about to hit Wei
Xiao. Wei Xiao dodged to the side, launching his ultimate move blood oath
and making raven feathers cover the sky across the canyon.
Asleep raised his eyebrows.
Cong Yi: “You should retreat.”
Asleep didn’t retreat. Instead, he used the second part of his feather
transform to rush back and also started up his own blood oath.
The blood raven thief’s ultimate move had a powerful health sucking
mechanism. Not only did it recover the user’s health, it also sucked up other
people’s health like mad.
Asleep wanted to go up hard against Wei Xiao, thinking that since he had
more health, he would fight to the death against Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao laughed, “Still too young.”
He didn’t move. Under the rain of poisonous candy, he continued to use his
blood oath against Asleep.
Quiet killed Can’t Sleep.
Cong Yi, who was sitting to the side eating melon seeds, “Lost your head
there.”
Asleep: “I like it.”
Cong Yi tsked, “Fine, fine, fine, I know you like Quiet, you’re happy even
when he hammers you to death.”
In that wave just now, Asleep really shouldn’t have gone up against Wei
Xiao.
It was the same ultimate move, the same blood sucking, but there was one
detail that Wei Xiao had that Asleep didn’t have.
Before he fled with his feather transform, he’d marked the lane soldiers
around him. In this situation, he gained a bonus with his blood sucking
when he turned on ‘blood oath’.
Asleep indeed had more health to start with, but he could only absorb Wei
Xiao’s blood.
It was like two vampires. One had countless blood bags around him, while
the other could only drink the enemy’s blood. The two sides had the same
blood sucking rate and upper limit, but obviously, there was a good chance
that the one with the most blood bags would win.
After ‘blood oath’ ended, Wei Xiao tossed out a third skill, and the blood
ravens called out, turning into a blade that landed on Asleep’s body.
Wei Xiao asked Lu Feng, “In that wave just now, what would you do if it
was you, captain?”
Lu Feng knew what he meant. If Asleep hadn’t chosen to retreat, would

there still be a way to fight?
There really was…
Lu Feng: “Before your control was released, I would first focus on brushing
out two basic attacks.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up. He got it.
The blood raven thief’s passive had a healing effect. If Asleep had hit two
regular attacks before chasing him, then Asleep would only have to hit him
once when he chased over in order to activate it.
With this bit of health, even if Wei Xiao had more ‘blood bags’, Asleep
would still be able to last until the end of the blood oath, and then send Wei
Xiao to his death with a blood raven’s kiss.
Life and death, victory and defeat, the difference was often found in an
instant of thought.
However, this sliver of thought was a mountain that countless professional

players had been struggling to overcome for several years.
They’d just finished a game when the door to the training room opened.
Brother Cai’s voice arrived even before he did, “Big ancestor, what kind of
trouble are you stirring up now!”
Wei Xiao didn’t have time to hang up the phone and simply covered up his
cell phone.
Bai Cai didn’t pay attention to these details. He’d woken up early in the
morning and started up his work as the gossip Emperor as usual, but
unexpectedly, his eyes were hit by an ‘earthquake’ as soon as he started
browsing around.
“Gossip Emperor, Gossip Emperor, here’s some material!”
“Quiet’s private meeting with his mysterious lover, are they male or
female?”
“An exclusive live broadcast room, only for you. Come and guess what the
password is!”
This large pile of sentences that were similar to headlines were really eye-
catching. Not only was Brother Cai’s eyes caught, but his heart leapt, too.
What kind of evil was Beast Wei stirring up again? What kind of rumor was
this so early in the morning? Did he feel that he wasn’t popular enough?
The Gossip Emperor investigated the situation by tracking down the clues
and arrived at Wei Xiao’s Wei Xiao. And then…
He stuffed his feet into his slippers and rushed down to the training room in
his pajamas.
“If you don’t f*cking know how to start up a live broadcast, then don’t
stream. Can you not make such a low-level mistake?”
Wei Xiao: “???”
What was wrong with it? He’d just opened up a private studio. How come
Brother Cai knew about it?
Bai Cai directly shoved the cell phone into his face so that Wei Xiao could
see the situation clearly.
His own Weibo had automatically generated a share link. The forwarding
comments for the link had already broken through 300,000….
Wei Xiao: “Doesn’t everyone say that there’s no morning in e-sports? Are
these people crazy?”
Bai Cai: “Isn’t it because you, the great God Q, is doting on someone so
early in the morning?!”
Wei Xiao blinked.
Bai Cai showed him the popular comments.
If he hadn’t looked, he wouldn’t have known, but now that he looked… it

was more spectacular than a novel.
There was no limit to the pits in people’s brains. Even the moon’s surface
should feel inferior to it, with suggestions of 985 beautiful girlfriends, sweet
and indulgent love with gold master LU, grandmaster and disciple’s
exclusive secret chat…
There was also another one with a high amount of ‘likes’––jungler king and
little wife, you rank up in points and I’ll accompany you.
The jungler king referred to Wei Xiao, and the little wife was Brother Cai.
Both of them saw it at the same time, and they both shivered
simultaneously.
Bai Cai: “God Q, may I ask who you’re doting on so early in the morning!”
Bai Cai: “Confess frankly, and I’ll be lenient. If you resist, I’ll be strict and
report it to the captain later on. You’ll find yourself in even more trouble
than you bargained for!”
Wei Xiao’s expression was complicated.
Brother Cai couldn’t spare the attention to care about these things. This was
a public relations crisis, and if the captain came back, he would be
implicated if he couldn’t report the situation properly to him.
“Get out of the way, let me look for myself.”
If he didn’t want to say it, then forget it. He leaned over to see who the only
member of the audience in the live broadcast studio was.
And then…
Wei Xiao confessed honestly, “I’m soloing with Asleep, and the captain
couldn’t sleep, so he wanted to take a look at my level.”
Brother Cai…
Was going to have a breakdown!
It took a long time for Bai Cai to get his voice back, “It really-really is the
captain?”
Wei Xiao was puzzled, “Do you have to be so surprised?”
Bai Cai: “No, that’s not it, this, um….”

Brother Cai couldn’t be blamed for his surprise. Close had been in this
profession for four years, and had never been seen in anyone’s live
broadcast studio before.
Even if he was taking along a newcomer, he would just double queue with
them. The newcomer would open a live broadcast room, and they’d only
play for one or two games at most. When the audience count got to a certain
point, he would leave.
How could the head of FTW who had to deal with a host of problems every
day, the solo great demon king who had countless fans, quietly go to
become a spectator in someone else’s live broadcast room?
This…
His imagination was insufficient!
Bai Cai’s heart thumped, and he thought of something else, “You didn’t
mess around, did you?”
He didn’t know that Wei Xiao and the captain were still on the phone
together.
Wei Xiao clarified quickly, “What are you hinting at? I didn’t mess around
at all!”
This was spoken for the captain to hear.
Bai Cai spoke seriously, “I know that it’s hard having a crush on someone,
but you need to calm down and not try everything you can think of to
seduce the captain early in the morning.”
Bai Cai’s tone was filled with ‘I understand you’, “You normally don’t get
up before noon, but now you’re soloing at 10 o’clock in the morning. If you
aren’t deliberately looking for the captain, then what are you doing?”
How should Wei Xiao explain this matter?

He had indeed deliberately looked for the captain, and there was also some
seduction, but there was no need to say ‘try everything you can think of’.
Bai Cai even felt sorry for Asleep, “And Brother Asleep can’t stay up all
day long. Having you pull him up to solo with him so early in the morning
can’t have been easy for him.”
Wei Xiao really couldn’t stop Bai Cai’s brain from coming up with pits.
Even ten meteorites wouldn’t be enough to block it.
Bai Cai came closer to see the room more clearly, and then…
“Old Wei, can you be a little less shameless!”
Wei Xiao: “???” What now?!
Bai Cai: “Do you even need to coax and cheat the captain like this?”
Wei Xiao was really confused, “How did I cheat the captain?”
He’d really coaxed him, and he wished that he could coax him day and
night.
Bai Cai pointed to the screen and spoke indignantly, “Does the captain
know what 1314 means? So you just cheated him into sending you 1314
roses?!”
xiin: feeling second hand embarrassment for Bai Cai already…

Ch118 - The little secret in 1560.
What should Wei Xiao say?
The captain not only knew what 1314 meant, he also knew what 520 meant,
and he even knew what 520 and 1314 together meant.
But could he say that?
In fact, he could say it.
But Wei Xiao was afraid that he’d make Brother Cai go into seclusion if he
said it, and he’d become a real vegetable in the upcoming games.
Brother Cai only thought of something after the fact, “Brat, you turned off
the mic, right?!”
Wei Xiao reassured him, “Don’t worry, I didn’t turn it on.”
The microphone in the live broadcast studio wasn’t on, it was just that he
hadn’t hung up the phone call with the captain.
Brother Cai breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ‘lecture’ him,

“What’s the use of doing these things? Coaxing the captain to give you
1314, will that really mean that you guys will be together forever?”
Brother Xiao, who was inexplicably getting scolded like a primary school
student: It really could mean that.
“… After messing around back and forth, isn’t the one who will suffer still
yourself?”
“I know that having a secret crush hurts, but you have to hold steady.”
“I don’t think that the captain isn’t interested in you either, and after my
years of observation, the captain really might not favor women…”
Wei Xiao looked at him, “How did you even notice that?”
Bai Cai puffed up his chest proudly and was filled with confidence,
“Shouldn’t you take a look at who the Gossip Emperor is.”
Sorry, Brother Cai, you’re the one who spoke about the Gossip Emperor, I
wasn’t the one who sold you out!
Bai Cai: “I’ve done so many CPs, how can I not tell?”
Like hell you noticed something.
Bai Cai really treated his fellow brother well. He basically dug out his heart
and lungs for him, “Seriously, do you know what goes on between two
men?”
Wei Xiao froze for a moment.
Brother Cai understood when he saw him like this, “Wait, let me…”
He hadn’t finished his words when he saw a line of text pop up on the
screen––
FTW.Close: Where are you?
Wei Xiao saw it too. He quickly pretended to open up the microphone, “I

went to the bathroom.”
Brother Cai breathed a sigh of relief and gestured to him: Steady.
Wei Xiao secretly put the cell phone away in his pocket. Bai Cai would
explode on the spot if he saw the length of the call.
In the game’s private chat, Asleep sent out a question mark.
Wei Xiao explained it briefly.
The mic had already been turned on, so Brother Cai naturally wouldn’t
continue yakking on. He was very polite as he greeted Lu Feng, “Good
evening, captain!” He even remembered the time difference.
On the scrolling comments: Good morning.
Brother Cai was smiling broadly. He had no idea that he was walking on a
tightrope.
When he saw that Wei Xiao was about to solo with Asleep again, Bai Cai
said, “Since you sent out a Weibo message, you should deal with it. Cancel
the password and let the fans see that the only audience member was the
captain…”
He sent out the Weibo link again and was just about to ask the captain to
clear out the number 1314 when he saw that FTW.Close had gifted Wei
Xiao with another 246 roses.
That was great. There didn’t seem to be any problem with the number 1560.
Brother Cai’s concerns were actually reasonable.
Although Wei Xiao didn’t want the fans to disturb the private world
between him and his captain, there was already a billion kilowatt lightbulb
in the form of Brother Cai lighting up the entire world, so adding another
few millions of fans wouldn’t matter.
What’s more, the matter had gotten so big, and it should be clarified.
The only audience member was the captain. Although this was beyond the
logic that the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ fans had come up with, it was still
reasonable.
Wei Xiao and Asleep’s solo games were very valuable. They were
equivalent to a one-on-one training match.
There weren’t any teams who would take the training match as something
to live broadcast. Everyone understood that.
Someone in the 3U team’s side must be staring at Wei Xiao’s operations,

and when it came to FTW, Lu Feng was overseas. If he wanted to watch the
battle situation in real time, then opening up a live broadcast room was the
best choice.
The password was there to protect the team’s ‘killer mace’, which was also
something that could be explained.
It had to be said that Brother Cai was actually very thoughtful and had
managed these things properly. If it hadn’t been for that ‘lecture’, he might
have made a lot more ‘extra money’ besides the fee from walking the dog
every day.
Now…
The Gossip Emperor had to fend for himself.
As soon as the password on the live broadcast room on Wei Xiao’s side was
cancelled, countless people poured in
“It’s open, it’s open, it’s open!”
“Who was the only member of the audience?”
“Which little slut…t… unusually brilliant person, losers are always in the
wrong, I’m just talking wildly, don’t take anything seriously…” As soon as
this kid saw the ID of the supposed ‘little slut’, his fingers seemed to gain
thoughts of their own, and he typed out a whole bunch of random things!
Countless Sherlock Holmes fans were shocked.
How could it be Close?
How could it be the great demon king?!
Could it be, maybe, did it mean…

The twin junglers CP reared their heads again, “Ahhhh, it’s real, they’re
real!”
“Thousands of miles apart, hearts connected, the CP I ship is scattering

sugar all over the sky!”
Brother Cai ignored the countless scrolling comments and acted as a

‘commentator’, “Thank you everyone for your attention. Next, let’s watch
3U’s Sleep God and our jungler king’s spectacular solo game…”
As a person who’d been interviewed all year round, Brother Cai knew how
to explain the matter clearly in a few words.
With this mouth, he could easily become a well-known commentator, and

earning a million a year wasn’t just a dream.
Everyone soon calmed down.
It turned out to be a ‘training match’.
It turned out that there was a ‘supervisor’.
It turned out that it was the great demon king training the little demon king.
Sigh, and they’d been so excited that they’d already made it halfway
through the universe.
There were still little Holmeses who wouldn’t give up so easily, “I don’t
think that it’s that simple.”
“Fellow sisters, take a look at that number.”
“1560?”
“Speaking of which, it turns out that the great demon king also knows how
to send gifts.”
“You really see everything when you live for a long time.”
“Is there anything special about 1560?”
“Try dividing it by three…”
“Holy sh*t!”
“Sisters, that’s amazing!”
“Ahhhhh, I get it, I get it, this is too damned sweet…”
“I know that it’s just a coincidence, but… I want to cry so loudly!”
This was just the shrill screams from the CP fan group. The straight men in
the scrolling comments had already had their attention caught up by the
solo going on in the canyon.
Quiet and Asleep were two dark horses in the China competition zone.
Their solo game had to be incredibly exciting.
What’s more, there would be a competition between 3U and FTW next

week. Everyone was already looking forward to it, and having a solo at this
time was nothing less than a pre-match warm-up!
“Quiet took the death knight!”
“Quiet really is a jungler kaleidoscope. Is there any talent he can’t play?”
“After all, he’s someone who was taught by the great demon king himself.
He can do it all.”
“They’re in the game!”
“Asleep took the blood thief.”
“Interesting, FTW vs GOQ yesterday was also the death knight against the
blood raven thief.”
“Reasonably speaking, the death knight has a huge advantage over thieves,
but GOQ’s death knight was just like a dead man walking.”
“The death knight was dead to start with.”
“Oh, no wonder he died like that.”
The scrolling comments started up their daily hating. Bai Cai turned on his
computer and picked up his post as the room management, blocking and
banning the bad comments.
With the cancellation of the password and the surge of traffic, the live
stream platform soon pushed the room into the recommendations.
It was almost eleven o’clock now, and the people in the e-sports circle woke
up one after another. Quite a few people came over to watch the excitement.
Amongst them was no lack of team captains.
For example, TPT’s study god – veteran – captain – Fu Li sat in front of the
computer and watched the live broadcast.
Eurostar yawned as he went downstairs. He glanced at the coffee cup beside

the captain sleepily, “Let me drink.”
Fu Li’s left hand held an 11 inch iPad pro, and there was a second
generation pencil in his right hand. He wore gold wire glasses that hung on
his high nose as he stared at the game and took notes, “Oh.”
Eurostar took a sip, “Pffft!”
He covered his mouth, then sprayed it all out in the trash bin.
“What the hell is this!” Eurostar looked at the unknown liquid in the coffee
cup incredulously.
Fu Li didn’t even blink, “Black coffee with goji.”
Eurostar: “……………………….”
He was a fool. How could he dare to touch the captain’s cup? And he even
dared to take a sip? Wasn’t he simply trying to shorten his own lifespan!
Fu Li set down the iPad and calmly took a sip from the unknown health
liquid, “Since you’re awake, come and have a look.”
Eurostar went to the beverage cabinet to find himself a bottle of sweet milk
to relieve the bitterness in his mouth, then leaned over and said, “It’s so
early in the morning, what are you looking at?”
The current marksman dark horse of the China competition zone, Euro God,
was a standard gossip spectator. He gnawed at his straw, “These two big
daddies started soloing so early in the morning?”
They really were daddies. The death knight, the blood raven thief, the
shadow thief, the immortal thief…
These were all jungler daddies for his damned crisp marksman talents.
The great demon king was the real daddy that he had to kneel down to
every time he met him.
Asleep and Quiet were the stepfathers who were gradually rising up.
Fu Li was already used to this little coward, “Look at Quiet.”
Eurostar dragged over a chair and sat down. He stared at the match, “How
can the death knight be pressured so badly? Wait a minute, Quiet’s death
knight can be beaten like this by Asleep’s blood thief? Is it that I haven’t
woken up yet, or is it that captain’s coffee is poisonous, causing me to have
hallucinations…”
Fu Li remained silent. He picked up the iPad and started marking down the
key points.
Eurostar hadn’t been mistaken. In this solo game, Wei Xiao’s death knight
had completely fallen into a disadvantage and was being pressured and
hammered by Asleep the whole way.
From a talent restraint perspective, when it came to the knight type talents,
if talents that tended towards support weren’t counted, they basically all had
the advantage against thieves.
This was especially the case for the death knight, which could be said to be
the thief’s daddy. In a situation where the player’s strength gap wasn’t very
large and their gold situation was about the same, anyone who could play it
well could chase after thieves until they had to run.
That was to say that in this game of solo, Wei Xiao should be able to
pressure Asleep. However, the situation was now reversed.
Eurostar was very curious, “What happened, is the grandmaster not playing
seriously?”
Fu Li: “He’s very serious.”
Eurostar raised his eyebrows, “If he’s playing seriously, how can he be
beaten by Sleepy into hiding everywhere like this?”
He had to be playing around. Back then, why had Eurostar stopped playing
top-lane?
It was because he’d clearly taken a talent that had a huge advantage against
the grandmaster, but he’d ended up beaten like a grandson by the
grandmaster.
He was going to be a grandson anyway, so he might as well run desperately

into the arms of the marksman so that his grandson status was ‘reasonable’.
Fu Li’s white pencil pointed briefly at the tablet, “Keep watching.”
The excitement was yet to come.
It wasn’t only Eurostar who was puzzled. The audience in the live broadcast
room were already scolding and cursing.
“What’s this? Does Quiet not know how to play the death knight?”
“I really thought he could play anything, yet as a result, he’s only obsessed
with thieves?”
“Reasonably speaking, it’s hard to accept that a jungler can’t play death
knight.”
There were those who were a little sharper, “I always feel that something is
strange somewhere. Quiet’s death knight isn’t played that badly, it’s just…”
“Is he taking it easy on Asleep?”
“Is that necessary?”
“I don’t understand… If he’s not going to play the game seriously like this,
then what’s the point in starting up the live broadcast?”
“Yeah, it’s a waste of everyone’s time.”
Only a few people understood Wei Xiao’s intentions. For example, the three
people from GOQ who’d been given a teaching session yesterday.
The three of them gathered around one computer to watch it together.
GOQ’s jungler: “Am I seeing an illusion…”
Support: “I don’t think so.”
Marksman: “……”
GOQ’s jungler: “Wuwuwu, the grandmaster going to give me a real

demonstration!”
Support: “I feel that you aren’t that important.”
Marksman: “I feel that he just wants to…”
In the 15th minute of the game, the live broadcast room’s scrolling
comments was all filled up with––holy sh*t!
Wei Xiao’s lips curved, “I didn’t have a chance to go over the replay during
the interview, but there’s an opportunity now. I’m going to show everyone
how a desperate death knight with low farm can fight against the blood
thief.”
After giving the blood raven thief 15 minutes to completely balance out the
innate talent restraint, the death knight’s killing intent soared up to the
skies.
Ch119 - Bai Cai was forced to take
action.
As soon as these words came out, the people who were watching the live
broadcast: “…… Shit!”
Only the three from GOQ had different reactions: Sure enough.
And there were those who didn’t know the situation, “Review? What
replay?”
“It’s yesterday’s game, in FTW’s first game against GOQ, Quiet used the
blood thief and surrounded three people from GOQ.”
GOQ’s mood was complicated when they saw this comment. They wanted
to refute it, but they didn’t have anything to refute it with. Yet if they didn’t
refute it… QAQ!
A group of fans who’d watched the competition gave a general summary of

the situation, making it a point to emphasize the final interview. What’s
more, they directly repeated Quiet’s words exactly as he’d said them,
without getting a single word wrong.
Those who didn’t know were shocked, and those who knew had their
memories refreshed. They looked at the live broadcast taking place right in
front of them and felt that this experience was quite unique.
“How is this a jungler king?”
“He’s clearly the king of cocky talk!”
“You can be strong, but my Q is cocky and strong.”

A variety of slogans were flying around, and amongst them were also
haters, “Who doesn’t know how to boast? It’ll be funny when he screws
up.”
“He even wants to give a demonstration; isn’t he just using his mouth and
talking blindly?”
“Sitting and waiting for him to screw up.”
“He’ll definitely screw up.”
Wei Xiao didn’t look at the chaotic scrolling comments at all. He had a
good memory, and he’d also helped GOQ to over the replay yesterday, so
he remembered the farm difference between the death knight and blood
thief at the time––almost 2000 gold.
In a MOBA game, farm was very important. The so-called farm gap
referred to the difference in gold between the two sides.
Wei Xiao’s farm had been 2000 gold higher than that of yesterday’s death
knight, which meant he had one more full piece of gear. One additional
piece of finished gear more than doubled his attributes, which was also
what had given him the power to take down three kills in a 1v3.
Now, Asleep’s blood raven thief had 2000 more gold than him, basically
reproducing yesterday’s match.
What he wanted to show off was precisely how to win the game from
GOQ’s perspective!
It was coming.
The blood raven thief in the clown’s clothing came out of the grass, and the
death knight in its heavy attack form was coated in a cold, black aura. He
cut across with a long blade, the special effect from the heavy blade attack
creating roiling, hollow faces as he charged at the blood raven thief who
had no way to resist!
Asleep’s reaction speed was very fast. He used to feather transforms to pull
back and avoid the attack. At the same time, he tossed out the blood raven’s
kiss, trying to counter-control Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao had obviously expected his reaction. He switched forms instantly
and summoned up the hell horse. In the moment when he mounted, his
mount stepped on flames and charged at the blood raven thief.
There was a bang!
Red and black special effects appeared on the screen.
Raven’s fall smashed onto Wei Xiao’s head. The death knight took
advantage of the horse’s high speed and flexibility to reduce the number of
marks and simultaneously leave a magic mark on Asleep.
Everything happened so fast that the audience watching the live broadcast
were all dazzled.
The skill releases and linkages were too fast. The seamlessly integrated
basic attacks were too accurate, and there were special effects flying
everywhere across the sky. They just felt that the canyon on the screen had
been magnified infinitely, and the death knight and the blood raven thief
had become living people, fighting for the final victory with their life and
death at stake!
Brother Cai couldn’t help himself and started a commentary, “The death
knight has switched forms, and the heavy form’s forced control has grasped
the blood raven thief by the throat!”
“The blood raven thief isn’t backing away at all. When the control ended,
he used ‘blood oath’ to draw blood and protect his life!”
“Not good! The death knight’s magic marks are filled up. As long as he
uses his third skill, soul cry, the blood raven thief’s blood oath will become
ineffective.”
“He did it!”

“The damage caused by the blood raven that’s been enchanted is now
invalid.”
“Asleep’s blood oath came up empty!”
The death knight only needed to use their skills and basic attacks to enchant
their enemy. Once they used the soul cry while in their heavy attack form,
they could summon the opponent’s soul and cause them to enter an
enchanted state for one second.
All damage dealt to their opponents while a hero was in the enchanted state
was invalid.
When other heroes’ damage was rendered invalid, at most it simply meant
that they couldn’t deal damage. But when the blood raven thief’s blood oath
was rendered invalid, that was enough to kill them.
The blood oath had a dual effect. It would absorb the enemy’s blood and
restore the hero’s health.
Now that it was invalid, it meant that Asleep couldn’t recover his health!
The blood raven thief that had already been dragged down to a critical
state…
The death knight made a beautiful sword flourish, then drove the hell horse
all the way to Asleep’s resurrection crystal.
Victory!
Wei Xiao perfectly demonstrated a reversal in adversity!
In the scrolling comments: “Cool!”
“Holy shit, he’s really good, this man really is both cocky and strong!”
“He didn’t mess up, the haters should come out and accept their death!”
The haters hurriedly switched sides and became fans for three seconds,
“God Q is badass!”
They were leaving, they were leaving, their faces really hurt.
3U’s training room.
Cong Yi didn’t say anything.
3U’s mid-laner, Li Chun, came downstairs just then. He blinked and asked,
“What’s wrong with the captain?”
Cong Yi translated perfectly, “He’s closing himself up.”
Li Chun: “???”
The Brother Sleep who normally might die if he spoke more than one word
opened up his mouth and said, “I’m not.”
Li Chun: “!”
This young fellow was startled, and even thought he was dreaming.
Cong Yi spread out his hands.
So was he closing himself up or not?
Was there a mistake with Cong Yi’s translation, or was Asleep saying
something that didn’t match his heart?
Cough, Li Chunchun didn’t dare to guess.
Wei Xiao was in the midst of explaining in the live broadcast studio,
“Thanks to Brother Sleep for his perfect cooperation. Did you see that? The
magic marks should be stacked up quickly, and forms should be switched
seamlessly so that the soul cry effect can be maximized.”
“Oh, ordinary players shouldn’t try to learn this. Those in the passers-by
games won’t have blood raven thieves with Asleep’s god-like hand speed.”
Sleep fans were in a complicated mood: They were very happy, the
grandmaster seemed to be praising their Sleep… like hell!
A message popped up in the private chat channel––
Asleep: “Again.”
Wei Xiao had ulterior motives, “Is your Yiyi there?”
Asleep: “Yes. Disgusting.”
Sleep God’s senior fans helped translate in the scrolling comments: God Q,
our Sleep is saying that Yiyi is there, but you shouldn’t call him in such a
disgusting manner.
It wasn’t the first day that Wei Xiao had gotten to know Asleep, and he did
understand him: “Okay, Sleep-sleep.”
The Sleep fans: “Why is it that our Sleep doesn’t say that it’s disgusting?
He only allows God Q to call himself Sleep-sleep, but he doesn’t allow him
to call Cong Yi: Yiyi?”
“Stop it, Laozi is a fan of the childhood sweethearts CP, everyone else
should get lost!”
“Don’t tear apart my CP, my twin junglers ship is as real as gold and
silver!”
Wei Xiao continued typing, “My family’s vegetable is here too, how about
having a doubles game?”
Brother Cai: “!”
What?
What vegetable, what game?!
Bai Cai looked at him in horror.
Because they hadn’t turned on the camera, Wei Xiao turned to give him a
look. But he fluttered his eyes too much, and Brother Vegetable deeply
suspected that he was showing off his long eyelashes.
Brother Vegetable used his cell phone to type out a message and showed it
to him, “Don’t mess with me, I don’t want to play a doubles game with
Asleep and Cong Yi.”
What was he thinking? These two were the champions of last year’s
domestic doubles competition and the global runner ups. How obsessed was
he, to want to battle with the two of them?!
Wei Xiao ignored him and said in the live broadcast room, “Our Brother
Vegetable is eager to give it a try, he wants to compete with God Yi.”
He wasn’t typing anymore. He directly used his mouth to shape the words:
Wei Xiao, f*ck your daddy!
Wei Xiao pretended not to see and therefore not to know anything, “Our
Brother Vegetable is really like this. He’s a very outstanding good man and
particularly wants to show off his strength.”
“Yes, yes, yes, super handsome!”
“Brother Vegetable has always been handsome, he’s the second most
handsome in FTW, got it?”
“Who’s the first?”

“Of course it’s our captain.”
“Me?”
“I’m not handsome. At most, I can only be considered cool. You guys can
call me Cool Brother Wei.”
Nobody was praising you, yet you can still do a standup crosstalk on your
own. Wei Xiaoxiao, what are you doing playing e-sports professionally?
What are you doing studying at university? How about quickly going to
find a master to learn from and make your debut at the Spring Festival
Gala!
Far away in North America, Lu Feng had muted his side of the call a long
time ago. Otherwise, his short laugh would’ve scared Brother Vegetable
into diving under the table.
It was eleven o’clock in the evening there, but Lu Feng wasn’t sleepy at all.
He listened to Wei Xiao’s voice as he dealt with documents that had been
sent over from China, and the corners of his mouth had always remained
curved up.
Lu Feng knew why Wei Xiao wanted to play a doubles game with 3U.
At the solo level, Wei Xiao could crush the entire China Glory circle, and
he could crush them all mercilessly.
After all, at Wei Xiao’s level, if he really were to solo in the global
competition, he would still be likely to rank near the top, even when faced
with players like Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun.
At this level, more solo was meaningless.
Wei Xiao was obviously worried about the 5v5 game they would be playing
in a week.
FTW vs 3U.
Wei Xiao could suppress Asleep, but Asleep wasn’t a single person in a 5v5
game.
3U’s team cohesion was very strong. Perhaps because their captain was too
taciturn, it had led to Cong Yi being too good at reading people’s hearts.
Although Asleep was 3U’s captain, their main commander was Cong Yi.
A support commander had great advantages because they had the widest
range of vision across the entire canyon, their operations required the least
energy, and the support position was the one that moved around the map the
most frequently.
In many teams, the support player was the deputy commander even if they
weren’t the main commander.
FTW had tried to get Bai Cai to command for a while, but back then, Bai
Cai was a support player with no soul and didn’t take responsibility for
anything. He was a very unaffected youth, and there was no way to force
him to do anything.
Later on, Wei Xiao had entered the team. Lu Feng and Chen Feng never
said it specifically, but in fact, they wanted to hand over the position of
commander to him.
Wei Xiao’s character was very suited to be a commander. His decisiveness,

agility, and real-time analysis abilities were all remarkable. When coupled
with Lu Feng’s support and oversight, it wasn’t a big problem.
But, if…
If Bai Cai was able to take on the role of deputy commander, then FTW’s
team cohesion would go up to a higher level.
Lu Feng set down his notebook and looked at the studio.
Although he couldn’t see Wei Xiao, he seemed to be able to see his bright,
black eyes.
In his eyes, there was endless energy and matching wisdom.
Very beautiful.
Brother Vegetable was pushed up to the forefront just like this and entered a
doubles game room.
The live broadcast was on, so our God Bai had to hold up his dignity even if
it was all an act, “What are we using.”
Wei Xiao was amused into laughter by his appearance that looked like he
was about to cry yet still was still putting on airs, “I’ll listen to Brother
Cai.”
Bai Cai glared at him, and his mouth moved: Like hell you listen to me!
There was a BP section for doubles games, and the banning was more
ruthless than in 5v5. The bans affected entire classes
Yes, the eleven classes in Glory corresponded to over 140 talents. Banning
classes mean that one ban could remove over 10 talent specs.
For example, the thief class had 12 talents.
If the other side banned it, then none of the 12 talents could be selected.
Fortunately, there were only four ban positions. If it was like 5v5 with six
ban positions, then it would be enough to ban people into seclusion.
However, this was just a private friendly match, and it was also being
broadcast. Everyone just banned the classes casually and weren’t so careful
about it.
Then, Bai Cai saw that the other side’s Cong Yi had banned priests.
The God Bai who started from priests grew angry and banned the shamans
with the next ban!
God Yi’s shamans were excellent enough to soar up to heaven, and it was
no worse than Li Heran from South Korea.
This doubles game hadn’t even started yet, but the scent of gunpowder from
both sides was already strong.
The scrolling comments were laughing loudly and trying to incite Wei Xiao,
“God Q, ban thieves! If they’re not going to act human, then we can be
shameless too!”
Wei Xiao: “That won’t do, I still need to maintain my dignity.”
Then, he banned the druids.
Glory had eleven classes, but only three of the classes focused on support––
Priests, shamans, and druids.
Bai Cai was shocked: Do you even f*cking want me to play or not!
All of the heroes that he knew how to play had been banned, what the hell
was he supposed to play!
However, the Wei Xiao who wanted his dignity was very calm, “Don’t
panic, everyone, Caicai said that he wants to use the medicine warlock to
carry.”
Brother Caicai: “???”
It was just an entertainment game, why did Laozi have to use a talent with
such a high level of difficulty!
Were you really treating Laozi like Yan Jiang?
It was as though Wei Xiao could see right through to his heart. He blew out
another rainbow fart, “What are you talking about? How could Brother Cai
be a little God Yan? My Brother Cai is the new light of support!”

No matter how much he wanted to pretend to be calm, he couldn’t hold on
anymore. Bai Cai spoke darkly, “Can we not try to find trouble on the
moon?”
Light of support?!
Was Captain Yan dead, or had Captain Li retired, or had the translation
machine stopped working?!
Brother Cai was a small white cabbage. Why should he go and offend so
many big bosses!
Wei Xiao had also become a translation machine, “It’s my slip of the
tongue, what ‘light of support’? Our vegetable is the god of support!”
What did it mean to be forced to take action? Just take a look at Brother
Cai.
And it had been written in capitals, outlined in gold and highlighted with
lightning.
Ch120 - Lu Feng: I didn’t pick him
up.
Fortunately, Asleep showed mercy and didn’t ban the knights.
The knights were a relatively miscellaneous profession. It had damage

dealing talents like the death knight who could go up to the top-lane and
play jungler, and it also had good support talents like the holy paladin who
could tank and heal.
There were a total of four ban positions. Three had been used on support
classes, so there weren’t many choices remaining.
Cong Yi could pick first. He naturally didn’t back down and locked in the
holy paladin.
Bai Cai’s lips twitched.
Wei Xiao comforted him, “What are you afraid of? We don’t need a holy
paladin.”
Brother Cai’s inner thoughts: “I’m really f*cking scared, I really f*cking
want to use it, I really f*cking…” But on the surface: “Mm.” There was a
hint of panic under his calm voice.
Picking talents in their doubles game went by very quickly.
Cong Yi took the holy paladin, and Asleep took the berserker thief.
Brother Cai’s mouth was still twitching as he took the medicine warlock,
and Wei Xiao locked in the immortal thief.
Based on the line-up…

FTW’s two talents could be hammered into little brothers by 3U’s holy
berserker combination.
Bai Cai couldn’t help but use his lips to mouth out: What are you doing
taking the immortal thief? Isn’t the shadow thief attractive to you?
Wei Xiao translated for him, “Hey, I wanted to take the shadow thief, but
Brother Cai said no, because he’s going to carry this game.”
Bai Cai: “………………”
The other side’s God Yi was a god level translator, but you’re like a damned
translator from hell!
Fortunately, Asleep hadn’t encountered Wei Xiao in his childhood.

Otherwise, he would’ve trained up a level ten bratty mouth and could even
become a commentator!
The scrolling comments were filled with:
“666666”
“Waiting to see the medicine warlock’s badass moves!”
“I saw it before when they played against OD in the winter training camp,
God Bai was super handsome then!”
Bai Cai swept an eye over this ‘super handsome’––damn it, his head could
be broken, but he couldn’t lose his dignity, and his reputation couldn’t be
destroyed even once!
Doubles and solo games were very different.
In solo games, there was only yourself, and the person alone was at ease,
playing without fetters and doing everything by themselves.
However, there were fetters in a doubles game. Teammates were tied

together, and they could be either a powerful support or a stumbling block.
How much one plus one added up to depended on the tacit understanding
between the two players in the field.
In fact, the audience was just watching the excitement. They even felt that
this was a broadened solo between two people and didn’t care about the
cooperation between them. They just wanted to see a solo show between
four people.
Only experts could see the difference.
TPT base.
Eurostar snorted, “Asleep really loves the berserker thief.”
In fact, the berserker thief wasn’t very suitable for doubles because of its
passive. It was more suited for playing in team fights because only by
harvesting kills would it be able to build up its passive effect and deal out
maximum damage.
A doubles game only had two people, and they couldn’t stack up a
maximum passive.
Fu Li: “He feels that an unequal contest brings no honor to the victor.”
Eurostar: “Does he have to go so far? Brother Cai and Quiet have been
playing together for many years.”
Fu Li: “A doubles team with no competition experience is vulnerable.”
Eurostar thought about his own captain’s pile of data models and shut up,
“Alright then.”
His captain was right, and he was right even when he was wrong. In any
case, he definitely wouldn’t refute him as the nightmare of having been
dragged over to stare at pieces of data for hours one after another was still
right in front of his eyes!
Both sides started off quite steadily. Wei Xiao and Asleep each occupied
one jungle zone, and they killed their creeps safely and calmly.
In the middle were the two supports controlling the soldier lines, and this
area was more exciting.
The Brother Cai who was carrying the expectations from the audience
chose his dark form at the start of the game. In this form, the medicine
warlock could deal considerable damage, and he could clear out the soldier
lines with a few attacks.
Bai Cai asked Wei Xiao, “I’ll take the lane soldiers?”
Generally speaking, the support players in a doubles game wouldn’t fight

for farm. They would try their best to guard the soldiers and wait for their
teammates to come and harvest the gold.
Wei Xiao: “Not just the lane soldiers, even the kills are all yours.”
Would you f*cking die if you didn’t purposely look for a fight!
Brother Cai didn’t even have to look at the scrolling comments to guess that
there must be a lot of people sending comments––
“Go, Brother Cai, kill God Yi!”
“Brother Cai, go! First Blood is yours!”
Bai Cai’s idol burden weighed ten tons. He really started to play seriously.
Kill Cong Yi?
It wasn’t impossible.
He glanced at the minimap. The upper jungle zone was Wei Xiao’s, so
Asleep must be in the lower jungle zone.
The immortal thief and berserker thief killed jungle creeps at about the
same rate. Wei Xiao was already chopping at the stone man, so Asleep
should be as well, and might even be a little slower. He’d already pressed
their side’s lane soldiers over, and Asleep would definitely come over to eat
the soldiers before going back to continue killing jungle creeps. By the time
Wei Xiao arrived at the last jungle creep to the left, Asleep should have just
started fighting the second jungle zone.
This was an opportunity!
He was already level two, while the holy paladin was still level one because
he hadn’t eaten the farm from the lane.
A level two medicine warlock had two damage dealing skills. He just
needed to first use the second skill, which could enchant, and then follow it
up with the first skill infusion, and then he would definitely be able to maim
the holy paladin who didn’t yet have any gear. At the time, Wei Xiao, who
would’ve finished with his jungle creeps by then, could dash under the
tower and kill Cong Yi!
Brother Cai took a deep breath and stared at the screen.
It was impossible for every professional player to not think, but he’d almost
never strategized as comprehensively as he was thinking now.
Was it okay? Could it work?
People who didn’t like to make decisions would often experience this kind
of difficulty, but it was often this half a second that resulted in missed
opportunities.
F*ck!
He was going to do it!
To hell with being afraid, Laozi would rather die trying than to lose face,
and if he cowered even before fighting, Beast Wei would laugh at him for
the rest of their lives.
“Old Wei,” Brother Cai walked forward, infusing himself as he notified Wei
Xiao, “Hurry up.”
There was no need to say more. Wei Xiao understood. “’Kay.”
The medicine warlock had two forms. The light form was a holy doctor
who saved the dying and healed the wounded. Even its clothes were snow
white and filled with compassion. The dark form was quite different; the
white clothes were stained with blood, and traces of poison could be seen
wafting off the fabric. Its entire body was gloomy and ghostly.
At this time, Bai Cai was in his dark form. The special effect around his
character after the enchantment was a strange black fog. His light wand
turned into a demon wand, and it was like a poisonous snake that had
suddenly awakened when it shot out at the holy paladin!
The medicine warlock’s first skill was infusion. It could absorb an

opponent’s blood, and also leave behind a corrupt poison that corroded
armor.
Cong Yi’s holy paladin had blonde hair and blue eyes and glowed
everywhere. After being infected with the corrupt poison, he was like a holy
angel who’d been defiled by the devil.
He wasn’t anxious or hurried. He used his first skill, holy grace, and
recovered quite a lot of health.
But Bai Cai didn’t have any thought of retreating after this first encounter.
After hitting the enemy with his skill, he took advantage of the cooldown
reduction that gave him to use a second enchantment, then tossed out
another infusion.
The scrolling comments were lively, “Not bad, these stacks of corruption
were built up beautifully!”
“Very on point. Who could have known that Brother Cai’s hand speed was
so fast?”
Corruption could be stacked, but the key was to grasp the right time point as
the margin of error there was only a few tenths of a second. If the timing
was off, they would lose the stacking effect, but once it stacked up, it dealt
double the damage!
When Cong Yi saw that the holy paladin’s health was decreasing abruptly,
he controlled his hero to retreat beneath the tower.
Bai Cai: “Old Wei!”
Wei Xiao: “Got it!”
After clearing the last jungle creep, the immortal thief directly shifted into
the enemy’s face and charged at Cong Yi while tanking the damage from
the tower.
The holy paladin who only had a third of its health left couldn’t fight back.
A whole set of skills smashed right into his face, and he instantly suffered
heavy damage.
God Of Wealth killed Loyal Until Death.
The audience who were watching the live broadcast were all sporting
question marks over their heads, “How come the kill went to Brother Cai?”
“What’s going on, didn’t my God Q go over to pick up the kill?”
“What did I miss?”
Fu Li spoke slowly, “Corruption.”
Eurostar was surprised, “Quiet can’t have done it on purpose, right?”
Fu Li’s dark eyes flashed behind his glasses, “If it’s intentional, then FTW’s
new jungler’s control over health volume and damage is really amazing.”
Someone in the scrolling comments finally saw what had happened, “Oh
my god, it was the medicine warlock’s corruption!”
“This, this… could it be that the immortal thief calculated the damage and
left the last sliver of health for the medicine warlock?”
“He couldn’t have calculated it so precisely.”
“Coincidence, it must be a coincidence!”
“I’m sorry twin junglers sisters, let me first climb over the wall for one
second. The Xiao Cai CP is really sweet!”
Why had Cong Yi’s death been credited to Bai Cai? It was because the last
bit of fatal damage had come from the medicine warlock’s corruption.
Corruption dealt continuous damage. Under normal circumstances, it wasn’t

enough to kill the holy paladin, but the immortal thief had charged beneath
the enemy tower to deal a bunch of damage with its skills, pushing down
the holy paladin’s health to the limit. The last drop of health was swallowed
up by corruption, and the system determined that the kill belonged to Bai
Cai.
Brother Cai also broke out of his reverie and looked towards Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao was now an emotion rainbow fart blowing machine, “Brother Cai
is amazing, the damage was just right, handsome!”
Bai Cai: “……………”
Did this old beast really let him have the kill?
The Brother Cai who’d just taken Wei Xiao’s kill was a little nervous:
Could one pluck a tiger’s whiskers without having to pay a price?
Damn it, Brother Cai sat up straight. He’d only played this seriously during
last year’s global finals!
After both sides reached level six, the battle situation gradually heated up
and became white hot. Although 3U’s Cong Yi had died at the start of the
game, and Bai Cai had taken First Blood, this wasn’t enough to determine
the winners and losers.
Even if Cong Yi died ten times, he would still have value as a support
player.
Bai Cai’s farm lead didn’t necessarily mean that he could win against
Asleep.
FTW’s opening advantage was quickly wiped out.
Lu Feng, who’d originally still been working, had already set down his
notebook and focused wholly on the match.
“Ding-ling.” It was the phone in the room.
Lu Feng was a little surprised. He picked it up, “Hello.”
The front desk spoke in standard Mandarin, “Hello, Mr. Lu, I’m very sorry
about disturbing you so late at night. There’s a Mister Yuan here to visit.
May I ask if he is your guest?”
Lu Feng replied affirmatively and gave authorization.
Yuan Ze hadn’t come on his own. He’d also brought Gary as well as a late
night snack.
When Lu Feng opened the door, Old G was very excited, “Close, how’s
your shoulder? Can you move it? Hey, hey, hey, be careful, your shoulder is
very valuable, don’t break it…” If it was broken, then there would no
longer be a great demon king!
Lu Feng stepped to the side, “It’s not that serious.”
Old G came to the main point, “Then, can you solo?”
Lu Feng was merciless, “No.”
Old G wilted.
Yuan Ze’s eyes were sharp. He noticed the projection screen right away,
“Quiet is streaming?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Old G noticed it as well, “A doubles game, these IDs… is it the third place
from last year?”
Old G’s Chinese hadn’t been learnt in vain. He recognized the words ‘Can’t
Sleep’.
Yuan Ze understood more than he did. He spoke thoughtfully, “Quiet’s state

isn’t quite right.”
He really was worthy of being an old pro. He could see the awkwardness in
the battle situation with just a glance.
Lu Feng adjusted the projection screen so that it aimed at the left wall
where the rest area of the suite was.
They sat down. Gary was very hungry and tore open the late night meal,
eating as he watched the game.
In this doubles game, FTW’s cooperation seemed to be lacking. They

played messily, and those who were familiar with them could tell at a
glance––
FTW’s support player was very different today.
L&P and FTW had played quite a few training matches together, and he
was very clear about Bai Cai’s style.
Mild, cautious, and he could even be called timid.
His performance was mediocre and unremarkable.
But now, this medicine warlock dared to fight, dared to kill, and was
incredibly fierce. It had an explosively strong sense of existence, and
nobody could ignore him.
Yuan Ze figured out the reason, “You’ve really picked up a treasure.” He
wasn’t speaking about Bai Cai, but rather the Quiet who was guiding Bai
Cai.
Lu Feng glanced at him, “I didn’t pick him up.”
Yuan Ze: “Ah?”
Lu Feng spoke calmly, “It was destiny.”
Yuan Ze: “…………………………….F*ck.”
The author has something to say: God Yuan, you can come empty handed
for dinner.
xiin: because LF will make sure you’re fed with dog food~ apricot: i feel
like Bai Cai. whenever Quiet opens his mouth, i want to scream too.
translator from hell indeed lol
Ch121 - I have Close, do you?
The doubles game was proceeding happily, but in fact, everyone started
noticing something in the later stages.
FTW’s win rate wasn’t high for this game. The medicine warlock and
immortal thief talents were very different. It was very easy for them to play
well with their own talents, and it would’ve been alright if they were
playing against passers-by, but when faced with Asleep and Cong Yi’s
cooperation, they soon exposed their weaknesses.
Bai Cai had really been ‘planned out’ from beginning to end in this game.
After he took First Blood, Wei Xiao began to give up his farm like crazy,
feeding the medicine warlock until it was fat and strong.
Those who were knowledgeable knew that Brother Cai was FTW’s support,
but those who didn’t know anything would even think that Quiet was the
support instead!
Bai Cai had been lifted up so high that he had to fly and carry even if he
didn’t want to!
In the later stages, the more anxious Brother Vegetable was, the better he
played.
The medicine warlock switched states back and forth instantaneously, a

whole set of moves covering the earth and skies. Even if it encountered the
holy paladin’s ultimate move that gave an invincibility effect, it was still
enough to beat them both back.
Wei Xiao’s boasting was endless, “Do you see that? There’s nothing for me
to do when my Brother Cai starts performing.”
The scrolling comments teased him, “God Q, you’re no good, your
immortal thief can’t even float up right now.”
Wei Xiao: “Sigh, Brother Cai’s momentum is so strong, I don’t dare to float
around.”
Bai Cai couldn’t keep up with this. “Stop with the praise.” Wasn’t Laozi
already desperate enough?!
Wei Xiao: “Brother Cai thinks I’m embarrassing. Fellow brothers, please
give me some advice. How should I not be embarrassing? I’m afraid that
I’ll be tossed away by my medicine warlock daddy…”
The scrolling comments burst out into laughter.
Winning or losing wasn’t important. In this game, Bai Cai had really shown
brilliant strength.
Everyone who’d watched this live broadcast wouldn’t dare to say that
FTW’s support player was a soy sauce barrel.
soy sauce barrel – useless
During a crucial group battle in the mid-lane, Wei Xiao jumped onto Asleep
and used the only control skill that the two of them had, calling out,
“Brother Cai.”
Bai Cai had never thought he would be so reckless one day, “Coming!”
He enchanted himself in his dark form, then used his first skill on the
berserker thief, stacking up several layers of corruption at the same time.
He then targeted the holy paladin and waited for him to use his ultimate
move.
The holy paladin’s ultimate move went against the heavens. It could give
the player or their ally an invincibility special effect that lasted for a few
seconds, making them immune to all damage. If it was used correctly, one
would really be invincible!
However, this ultimate move couldn’t be targeted. It would be automatically
used on the person in range with the lowest health.
Bai Cai was waiting for precisely this moment. He pressed down the
paladin and the thief’s health at the same time, and when the paladin used
its invincibility, they would focus fire on the other….
Wei Xiao was taking damage, “Hurry up, I can’t hold on…”
Brother Cai stared unblinkingly at the screen, calculating silently in his

heart, 3, 2…
“Eh?”
“………………”
God Of Wealth killed Loyal Until Death.
Wei Xiao blinked, “What’s going on?”
The scrolling comments were also filled with question marks.
During such an exciting fight, at such a thrilling moment, at such an

important juncture–
Bai Cai’s cell phone rang.
Brother Cai answered the phone, and then, “……”
Wei Xiao looked at him, “What’s the matter?”
Brother Cai’s face was expressionless, “3U base’s internet cable broke.”
The audience in the live broadcast room heard this, and everyone who was
online laughed and cackled like wild geese.
Bai Cai’s face was green. He’d worked so hard in this game, played so
seriously, and it hadn’t been easy for him to scheme against Asleep. He was
just about to…
Wei Xiao wasn’t polite and laughed out loud, his laughter even louder than
that of the scrolling comments, “Brother Cai was so overbearing and
powerful that the other side’s internet connection couldn’t hold up.”
3U’s internet being broken wasn’t an excuse, it had really broken!
The road beside their base was being repaired, and the workers had
accidentally poked the network cable, paralyzing the internet in the whole
area for 20 minutes.
In any case, it was an entertainment game, and their goal had already been
achieved. The results weren’t important.
What’s more, there was a proper game one week later. It wouldn’t be too
late for them to talk about winning and losing then.
Wei Xiao looked at the time and felt that it was about time for the captain to
go to sleep. He said goodbye to the live broadcast studio and withdrew.
Bai Cai: “……” He was unhappy, super unhappy. This kind of suffocating
feeling where the climax had been cut short was too unpleasant!
Wei Xiao patted him on the shoulder, “Keep this mood. We’ll screw them to
death next week.”
Bai Cai finally realized what had happened, “Screw them to death? Laozi
will kill you first!”
Damned Little Lunatic Wei, he’d schemed against Laozi all morning!
Wei Xiao dodged, “What are you doing, Old Bai? I’m gay now, so don’t
move your hands and feet like that.”

I’ve really never f*cking seen a gay like you before!
A perfectly wonderful world for two had been turned into such a mess. Wei
Xiao’s heart was… Sigh, it was very fun, but he missed the captain a little.
Wei Xiao used the excuse of catching up on sleep to sneak back to his
room, then took out his cellphone.
Sure enough, the call had been hung up.
That made sense, he’d turned on the mic in the live broadcast room later on,
so there was no need for the captain to keep the call going.
Wei Xiao called back immediately.
Lu Feng picked up, “You didn’t go eat?”
Wei Xiao’s heart was filled with sweetness when he heard his voice, “I’ll go
after you sleep.”
Lu Feng looked at the uninvited guests in his room.
Gary yelled, “Quiet, come solo!”
Wei Xiao raised his eyebrows, “Captain, are there other men in your
room?”
It didn’t matter who it was; he’d get jealous first.
“Mm.” Lu Feng spoke deliberately, “There’s two.”
Wei Xiao really liked these little dramas, “Captain, you’re going too far!”
Lu Feng’s eyelashes lowered slightly, and he held back a smile, “I’ll call
you back later.”
Wei Xiao: “Then you have to video call, I want to perform an inspection.”
Lu Feng answered lightly, “Alright.”

The tip of Wei Xiao’s ears felt like they were burning, they felt hot and
itchy.
Although he could make jokes shamelessly, he couldn’t help but blush and
feel his heart speed up when Lu Feng cooperated with his teasing.
Gary didn’t know anything, but Yuan Ze knew everything.
If they didn’t leave now, then the entire hotel would be illuminated until it
was as bright as day by the lightbulbs that the two of them had become.
When they left the room, Gary used his primary school grade two Chinese
to ask, “Captain, what did Close mean by ‘predestined by fate’ just now?”
Yuan Ze: “……” You really f*cking like to open any pot that shouldn’t be
opened!
Old G was thirsty for knowledge, “How come I remember that this idiom is
used to describe lovers?”
Yuan Ze’s heart thumped, and he acted like a human being for once,
“Chinese is broad and profound. It’s common for a saying to have many
uses.”
Gary asked earnestly, “Then what did Close mean?”
Yuan Ze answered him casually, “He means… that Quiet is a turning point
in his career.” Laozi had done his best.
Old G inferred other things from this one fact, “In that case, I get it! It’s just
like how I met you, it’s predestined by fate!”
Yuan Ze: “……” He almost slipped and broke his foot!
As soon as they left, Lu Feng gave Wei Xiao a video call.
It was better when they couldn’t see each other. Once they could see, they
missed each other even more.
Unfortunately, they were half the world apart. No matter how much they
missed each other, they could only stare at each other unblinkingly across
the small screen.
Lu Feng asked about Bai Cai.
Wei Xiao explained about the ‘hidden crush’.
Lu Feng caught onto the key point, “Nervous?”
Wei Xiao splayed out on the bed and looked at him, “Of course, there’s a bit
of that…”
With Bai Cai, Wei Xiao would rather pull out the small secret of having a
crush in order to avoid the main concern, but when it came to the captain,
he couldn’t help himself.
Intellectually, Wei Xiao felt that he shouldn’t rely on the captain like this,
and he shouldn’t act coquettishly with him, but…
The captain was always able to poke right at his heart, warm his coldest
spot, and always made it so that he couldn’t hold back.
Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry. Focus on your recovery, I’m fine.”
After that, he muttered quietly, “It’s just that I miss you a bit.”
Lu Feng listened and looked at him, and his heart felt like it had melted into
a puddle of water.
Wei Xiao, who was openly wanton and unrestrained in the competitions,
responsible and reliable with his friends, the Wei Xiao who was
hardworking, diligent, and thought things through seriously…
Only acted like a real teenager when he was in front of him.
He was only 19 years old.

The results of Lu Feng’s initial examination reappeared in his brain, and his
chest felt like it had been stabbed.
He coaxed Wei Xiao gently, “Wait for me to come back.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up, “For sure!”
Lu Feng continued softly, “It’s okay, don’t put too much pressure on
yourself. You’re already doing very well.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved with his smile, “Captain, don’t be like this…”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “I’ll be spoiled rotten by you sooner or later.”
After saying that, Wei Xiao felt like he was acting really shameless and
wanted to change the topic to cover it up. Unexpectedly, Lu Feng replied in
a low voice, “That’s more than I could wish for.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
He was done for. His biggest test wasn’t how to lead FTW to take first place
in their group, but how to resist going to North America to kiss the captain!
It was getting too late, and the two of them had to hang up the call.
Wei Xiao’s original intention was to coax the captain to sleep, yet as a
result, he followed him into sleep. When he woke up, it was because
Soybean had pounced over, waking him up thoroughly.
There was a training match in the afternoon, and they would go over the
game replays in the evening.
This week that didn’t have any competitions scheduled was still unusually
busy, and it was already Wednesday again in the blink of an eye.
The FTW vs 3U game was held on Wednesday at 5PM.

This time, it was FTW’s away game, so they needed to go to B City one day
in advance.
Chen Feng had asked everyone for their opinions on the itinerary for this
trip.
They could either go one day ahead of time, or travel there on the day of.
Bai Cai and the others expressed, “Go there one day ahead of time. It’s a bit
rushed to travel there the morning of.”
Tang Chen wanted to speak, but hesitated, “Alright.”
He was a bit picky about beds and might not be able to sleep well in a new
place, but it was indeed too rushed to travel there the morning of.
Xiang Liu had made very good arrangements for everyone. They travelled
with first class tickets, were picked up by a Mercedes Benz van, stayed at
the Peninsula hotel, and even their catering had been carefully selected out
of fear that someone might not be able to adapt to the food.
The logistics work was all in place, and the rest would depend on the
players’ strength.
Everyone had a good night’s sleep, but Tang Chen was always rotating his
neck on the way to the stadium.
Wei Xiao noticed it, “Did Brother Tang not sleep well?”
Tang Chen rubbed at his neck, “I slept really well.”
Chen Feng glanced at him, “Take it easy, our team doesn’t have a substitute
right now.”
Tang Chen stopped rubbing and said, “What are you thinking, have I ever
needed a substitute in so many years?”
They were the second scheduled game of the day. Although it was already
five o’clock, the previous game hadn’t yet finished, and they could only
wait a bit longer.
In the backstage lounge, 3U had arrived a bit earlier than they did.
Both sides were very familiar with each other and greeted each other.
The current game was between two teams who were at similar levels, and
the fight was very intense. They’d been tangled and fighting neck to neck
from the first game all the way until the third game. Based on the current
situation, they would likely be able to drag on for another half an hour.
The organizers took this opportunity to record some material. After all, both
3U and FTW were all-star teams, and the audience always looked forward
to the trash talk segments.
Since everyone was already there, there was no need to separate the teams.
The organizers simply started asking questions casually.
All hosts were very interested in Asleep. The more a player didn’t like to
talk, the more traffic they would bring if they could be persuaded to speak
during an interview.
The host asked Asleep, “Are you confident about today’s game?”
Cong Yi didn’t translate.
Wei Xiao picked up the conversation, “It looks like…”
Asleep: “Confident.”
The host was filled with pleasant surprise and continued the interview,
“Asleep and Quiet are already old acquaintances. Is there anything you
would like to say to each other today?”
Cong Yi translated it, “The internet cable won’t break today.”

There was a roar of laughter in the lounge.
The host finally let Asleep go and started interviewing everyone one by
one.
Towards the end, the polite questions had all been asked, but the previous
game was still ongoing, so the host once again targeted Asleep, “Based on
the current situation, Asleep, what do you think are your advantages against
Quiet?”
Asleep: “Cong Yi.”
The host paused for a moment and thought that he was calling for Cong Yi
to answer.
Cong Yi added, “What he means is that his advantage over Quiet is that he
has me.”
The host: “…………”
Although it was strange, it was also an objective fact. After all, Asleep
couldn’t win against Quiet in solo, but he could definitely crush Quiet in a
doubles game.
The host went on to interview Wei Xiao, asking him similar questions.
At this moment, Brother Cai straightened his chest and stared at 3U,
expressing that he shouldn’t be overlooked. He was the jungler king’s solid
backing and was no worse than Cong Yi!
Wei Xiao took the microphone, his gaze landing on Bai Cai.
Bai Cai’s internal thoughts: Come on, brother, I support you!
Wei Xiao’s line of sight fluttered away and he spoke thoughtfully, “It’s a
little hard to say.”
The host: “Oh?”

Wei Xiao continued slowly, “There are too many advantages. I’m afraid I
can’t finish listing them all with this limited amount of time, so I’ll
emphasize one point.”
He looked at Asleep and asked, “I have Close, do you?”
Asleep: “……………………”
Wei Xiao added to his point, “My captain, Lu Feng, the only four
consecutive world champion in the world, the number one player in the
world, the most glorious, invincible, and unparalleled in the world…” (800
words were omitted here)
The author has something to say: Why would you be foolish enough to ask
Wei Xiaoxiao for trash talk?
Ch122 - Close wasn’t there, and the
‘little devil’ was in charge.
Host: “……”
The cameraman big brother: “……”
The post-production editors: “……”
Forget it, forget it, if they broadcasted this segment, they wouldn’t be an e-
sports program, but a talk show!
The game before them finally ended, and the two people who’d already
started fighting like primary school chicks headed for the court.
Asleep didn’t make a sound, but Cong Yi said, “Enough, it’s not like you
haven’t experienced the grandmaster’s cocky mouth before.”
Cong Yi had been lucky enough to watch those replay videos back then
with him.
After watching it, Asleep had insomnia, and Cong Yi was afraid that he’d
go into seclusion, so he’d told him five or six corny jokes.
Later events proved that he’d used up his stack of corny jokes in vain. Not
only had Asleep not gone into seclusion, he’d been completely invigorated
by that hammer and remained fixated on the grandmaster.
Cong Yi: “Alright, alright, alright, hammer him to death.”
Cong Yi: “Yes, yes, yes, kill him ten million times.”
Cong Yi: “Okay, we won’t let a single FTW person leave alive!”
The other three from 3U often felt that they were living in a different
dimension.
Due to the previous game’s ‘tardiness’, everyone moved faster this game.
After the peripherals were checked over, the headphones debugged, and the
referee had checked over everything, the BP link began.
Both sides were old teams who had played countless training matches
together. They were merciless in screwing each other over, and if you
chopped off my arm, then I’ll break your leg.
When BP ended for the first game, the line-up for both sides was very
interesting.
FTW: Divine warrior, Shadow thief, Immortal warlock, Holy paladin, Gold
hunter.
3U: Blood warrior, Immortal thief, Ice mage, Giant shaman, Flame
launcher.
That’s right, 3U hadn’t banned the shadow thief, and FTW hadn’t avoided
it. If you dared to let it out, then I would dare to take it.
The scrolling comments were very happy, “Quiet’s shadow thief! Nine light
arcs! Exciting!”
“Hurry and let the uneducated me see what nine light arcs look like!”
“Director, please be humane and give Quiet more shots. I want to see how
his hands fly over the keyboard.”
“I’ve seen Close’s hands before, it really was like flying.”

“Seriously, though… Was Close’s shoulder damaged by the light arcs? That
operation level isn’t like what a human can do.”
“Upstairs, shut up, don’t make Laozi cry!”
It was already past 6:30 and almost 7 by the time the game started, and Lu
Feng had already woken up.
After being in Country M for a week, he had recovered from any jet lag. Lu
Feng didn’t need to train so his work and rest schedule had become even
more regular.
He went to bed at 11PM, woke up at 6AM, went out for physiotherapy at

7:30AM, came back in the afternoon to do work remotely, then coaxed Wei
Xiaoxiao to sleep.
If it was half a month ago, Lu Feng wouldn’t have been able to imagine that
there would be a day when he didn’t touch Glory.
No training, no ranking, and no solo.
Something that seemed very difficult to strip away from his life, something
that he’d thought would be very painful to commit to.
In reality, it wasn’t that bad. Because of Wei Xiao’s existence, his heart
didn’t feel as empty as he’d imagined.
Yesterday was just the first week of his treatment. The attending doctor had
done another examination, and the report still wasn’t optimistic.
Lu Feng’s shoulder had been injured for a long time, and treatment had
been delayed for three years. This was already the best result after he’d kept
up with his physiotherapy and exercise.
If he could go back to three years ago, it would have been a lot easier.
The attending doctor comforted him, “Don’t worry, the rehabilitation

process is slow, and it’s hard to see any changes in just a week.”
Lu Feng was very calm, “Yes, it’s been hard for you.”
After the check up yesterday, Wei Xiao had immediately called him to ask
about the situation.
Lu Feng answered vaguely, “The doctor said that the recovery isn’t bad.”
Wei Xiao was delighted, “That’s great!”
They couldn’t just be separated for so long for nothing.
The two of them chatted for a long time and didn’t hang up until Wei Xiao
went downstairs to have dinner.
After that, Lu Feng held his cell phone and stared at it for a long time
before finally still sending a message to Xiang Liu.
When Xiang Liu saw the message, his entire person felt cold, and his hands
trembled, “That… boss… this…”
Lu Feng replied to him with four words, “Better to be prepared.”
Xiang Liu: “Okay…”
The audience was looking forward to Quiet’s shadow thief brushing out
nine light arcs.
Bai Cai: “What are you taking the shadow thief for.”
Wei Xiao: “I just want to give it a try.”
Bai Cai: “To hell with trying it, the entire crowd of people is waiting to see
you make a joke out of yourself.”
Wei Xiao: “What’s so funny? I already said that I can’t do nine light arcs
with my eyes open. Today, I’ll have a chance to demonstrate it for
everyone.”
Brother Cai: “…………” I’m still an idiot for worrying about you.
3U had let the shadow thief out, not because they looked down on nine light
arcs, but because they knew the truth.
They had training matches every day and were too familiar with each other.
What Wei Xiao had said on Glory’s Mic Explosion King had really been the
truth.
His Schrodinger-style nine light arcs wasn’t something he could brush out
whenever he wanted to.
So why ban the shadow thief?
It wasn’t a big daddy in this version of the game, and there was no need to
waste a ban on it.
And the 3U coach was filled with bad intentions. He was fearless, “I feel
that Wei Xiao won’t take it.”
‘Stunts’ were a burden, especially during this stage when a skill wasn’t yet
mastered. It was easy for a player to become confused.
Originally, Wei Xiao’s shadow thief was played very well, but once he
became addicted to brushing out nine light arcs, he wouldn’t even be able to
do eight.
Probably Chen Feng wouldn’t let him take this risk.
Chen Feng slapped him in the face within a second, snatching up the
shadow thief with his first pick.
3U’s coach: “……”
Everyone else in 3U: “Cough…”

Coach: “That’s-that’s even better. Little Lunatic Wei is going to be useless
in this game. He won’t even be able to brush out a single light arc!”
Once he tried to brush out nine light arcs, failing would be the same as
brushing out no light arcs at all. The system wouldn’t downgrade it to seven
or eight. Success was success, and failure was failure. There was no way
back.
Cong Yi: “There’s no need to be so optimistic.”
He added, “Brother Sleep said that.”
Although they couldn’t enter the dimension of the two of them, they still
understood some rules after being together for such a long time. For
example, when Cong Yi said ‘Brother Sleep’, it was mostly when he
wanted to use him to take the blame.
Brother Sleep was as steady as a mountain, silent and cool and extremely
responsible!
In fact, Cong Yi’s words were very accurate. They really shouldn’t be so
optimistic. After all, they weren’t up against an ordinary person.
When it came to an idol’s burden, did Wei Xiao have any of it?
This little lunatic would love to hold up the microphone and tell everyone
that he couldn’t brush out nine light arcs. Would he risk a game for the sake
of a little dignity?
Impossible.
So, in this game, the shadow thief didn’t plan to brush out nine light arcs at
all.
Weren’t eight light arcs great? Weren’t eight light arcs cool? Couldn’t eight
light arcs still kill people?
FTW.Quiet killed 3U.LC.
See? Wei Xiao had just killed little student Li Chun, 3U’s mid-laner.
The scrolling comments were all calling out, “Ah, why are there only eight
light arcs!”
“Wuwuwu, where are the nine light arcs we agreed on?”
“Quiet, don’t be so sneaky, start showing off!”
“Could it be true that he can’t brush out nine light arcs?”
“Previous poster, you’re so silly and cute, you really believed the
grandmaster’s lies.”
Some players were too out in the open, and the haters couldn’t find any
direction to start up controversy from.
They could flame him, but he was more professional at criticizing himself
than the haters were, just listen to Glory’s Mic Explosion King.
If they didn’t flame him, they always felt that something was missing, and
their chests felt stuffy and unsettled.
If they went for it and flamed him, then sorry, but the fans weren’t buying
it, and they would just be scolded as fools.
It was too hard. Hating on the players this year was very difficult.
Li Chun had just died, and Asleep led Cong Yi to arrive at the mid-lane,
forming a pincer from above and below to target Ning Zhehan and Wei
Xiao together.
Wei Xiao: “Little Ning.”
Ning Zhehan: “… Brother Xiao.”

Wei Xiao went into stealth mode, “Big brother can’t save you.”
Little Ning had just smashed all his skills onto Li Chun and was now
nothing but a three-legged cat. If he wasn’t careful, he’d fall flat on his face,
“Wuwuwu.”
It was impossible for Asleep to chase after Wei Xiao after killing Ning
Zhehan.
The two teams had played too many training matches together, and they
knew each other well.
FTW used to be biased towards operations, and fighting them was very
steady and continuous, very well-regulated.
Now…
Close wasn’t there, and the ‘little devil’ was in charge. The entire situation
could only be described as ‘reckless’.
Wei Xiao was reckless, and he led the whole team to pursue recklessness
with him.
3U was about the same.
When Asleep was reckless, the whole team had no choice but to follow
him.
The game between the two teams was very fun to watch. Fights broke out
constantly from the start of the game, and after they had their ultimate
moves, the frequency of the ganks only increased. If you killed my mid-
laner, then I would mess with your bottom lane; if you suppressed my
bottom lane, then I would make you pay for it with the blood of your mid-
laner.
The more they played, the more immersed into it they were, and the more
confusing things became. Even the commentators couldn’t make heads or
tails of it.
“The win rate is 50-50, it’ll depend on the details from both sides.”
“The farm is equal, and the defensive towers have all been broken. Quiet
and Sleep (Asleep) are both pretty much done with their equipment.”
“Based on their direction, both sides will meet at the big dragon pit.”
“That’s a blind spot over there. Let’s see who finds the other side first!”
Coincidentally, it was the jungler and support players from both teams who
were converging on the same point, which were Wei Xiao and Bai Cai, and
Asleep and Cong Yi.
Quite a few people had heard about the doubles game that they’d played
during the live broadcast and knew that these four people’s fight hadn’t yet
reached a conclusion. It looked like they were sure to win, but as a result,
3U’s network cable had broken, leaving them with a huge unresolved
ending.
Now, there was actually such a good opportunity in the 5v5 arena. If they
didn’t fight a battle of life and death, they really wouldn’t be able to live up
to the ‘enmity’ between the two sides!
In this game, Wei Xiao had taken the shadow thief, and Brother Cai was
using the holy paladin; Asleep was playing the immortal thief, and Cong Yi
was using the giant shaman.
Although the talents were totally different from the doubles game, it was
still very lively.
Brother Cai had already fallen in love with the holy paladin from that day
on. In his words––this glittering, righteous character was simply made for
this Vegetable!
Indeed, Glory had an unwritten feature.
Most of the talents that had high operational difficulty looked gloomy and
cool.
For example, the shadow thief, the hidden thief, the medicine warlock, the
black magic druid, and then there was also the death knight, the blood
warrior…
The light priest and holy priest that Brother Cai loved were all talents that
required low hand speed.
When it came to ‘health preservation’, nobody could compare with this

Vegetable that had only just turned 20.
In the canyon, the shadow thief and immortal thief discovered each other at
almost the same time.
Bai Cai: “I’ll go up first!”
Wei Xiao: “Mm.”
The shadow thief entered stealth, and the cabbage went up to take the giant
shaman’s control skill, making use of the holy paladin’s passive.
The holy paladin’s passive was a light shield. When it was broken, it would
stun the opponent briefly; Brother Cai had excellent control and was just
able to block Cong Yi.
Wei Xiao snuck around quietly to the back, targeting Asleep’s back figure.
Cong Yi completely ignored Bai Cai. He turned around and smashed down
a sledgehammer right next to Asleep.
This was the giant shaman’s ultimate move––ground fissure.
The canyon was eroded by magma, and a huge crack appeared. The shadow
thief, who was in stealth, was hit and forced up into the air.
Commentator: “That was a very beautiful prediction. He guessed perfectly

that Quiet would go around to attack Sleep.”
“Very decisive, worthy of being a ranked team in the global doubles

competition.”
This was indeed a very beautiful ultimate move.
The shadow thief had been in stealth mode, and the enemy couldn’t see
where he was. However, Cong Yi could judge his position immediately
after receiving Bai Cai’s brief control and perfectly attacked Wei Xiao. His
game consciousness was really powerful.
What was even more powerful was the cooperation between Asleep and
Cong Yi. Asleep had moved forward long ago, and it was as though he’d
known what Cong Yi would do, and his damage caught up very quickly. He
used two movement segments followed by a basic attack, and was just
about to start up his ultimate move…
But what made everyone’s chin drops was that FTW’s support who had
never been eye-catching instantly used flash and gave Wei Xiao a ‘tender
protection’.
This was the holy paladin’s third skill. It would remove all control skills on
a friendly target and restore their health.
With this, Cong Yi’s ultimate move had been used in vain!
The Wei Xiao who was now free from all control skills curved his lips,
“Cool, God Bai.”
The author has something to say: The holy paladin’s skills are very
interesting. The first skill is holy grace, the third skill is tender protection,
and the ultimate move is true love. Brother Cai: Old Wei, wait, let me give
you tender protection. Wei Xiao: ‘Kay The captain looks on with a
dangerous gaze.
xiin: … i didn’t make up these holy paladin skills, the author did owo (but
omg they’re so girly?)
Ch123 - If you stay in FTW, you’ll
never be able to surpass Yuan Ze!
The Brother Cai who heard this had the illusion that he’d released a vicious
dog by loosening its leash.
Oh, be a little more confident. What ‘illusion’? It was a fact!
The shadow thief went back into stealth mode again, and when he
reappeared, he’d already smashed into the immortal thief.
Asleep had started activating his skills one step ahead of time, but the two
people ended up using their ultimate move at the same time.
Eight light arcs spread out and covered the heavens and earth, and the
immortal thief’s swords also hurtled down from the sky. This shocking
amount of damage smashed onto both heads at the same time, and their
health bars went up and down like roller coasters, causing the hearts of
everyone who was watching to beat faster.
Bai Cai was still some distance away from Wei Xiao. From this position, he
could release the third skill ‘tender protection’, which had a long range, but
he couldn’t toss out the ultimate move ‘true love’.
‘True love’ was the holy paladin’s true guardian skill. Once it was tossed
out, Wei Xiao would be invincible for several seconds.
As the name implied, invincibility meant that the player would be free from
all harm. Their health wouldn’t drop no matter how much damage they
took!
Cong Yi saw through Bai Cai’s intentions with a glance. How could he let
him succeed? A set of continuous control skills stopped Bai Cai’s steps.
Brother Cai only had one flash skill, which he’d used just now. He looked
at this short distance that couldn’t possibly be any shorter, but he just
couldn’t cross it…
The immortal thief and the shadow thief were exchanging moves, neither of
them paying any attention to their own health at all and fully entrusting
their lives to their teammates.
Based on how immersed in the fight they appeared to be, the ones who held
the winning chips were the support players who weren’t actually involved
in the fight.
Who could arrive faster? Who could give them more support? They would
decide the winner!
What was the charm of a doubles competition?
It was the mutual trust, the absolute trust, selflessness, and obliviousness to
oneself!
Cong Yi rushed over. After managing to slow Bai Cai down, he arrived at
the shadow thief’s side first. They all watched as the giant shaman’s shield
was about to be given to the immortal thief…
Bai Cai gave up on Wei Xiao and used a several millisecond time difference
to throw his own second skill, ‘blinding’, at Cong Yi!
The holy paladin’s second skill was the only one that could hit an enemy,
and using it would affect the enemy’s hit rate. For example, at this moment
the Cong Yi who’d been hit by ‘blinding’ actually managed to miss with the
shield that should have had a 100% hit rate!
The audience exploded, “Holy shit, is Brother Cai so powerful?”
“He solved my God Yi’s ultimate move and wasted his shield?”
“It’s over, it’s over, I’m actually starting to feel that this vegetable stalk is
inexplicably excellent.”
“Upstairs, here’s a warning for mosquito coil eyes.”
The commentators also spoke highly of Bai Cai’s operations.
In the current China competition zone, Cong Yi was steadily rising up to

become the ceiling for support players, and there were even people who
called him ‘Little Yan Jiang’.
In today’s game, Brother Cai’s sudden performance had allowed everyone

to see a new seedling.
Battle!
Tear into each other!
Fight!
How exciting was this game? Even the support players could start fighting
amongst themselves!
Cong Yi had eaten a loss twice at Bai Cai’s hands. How could he lay down
and just let it happen? His shield might’ve missed, but he still had a heal,
and he also added a soft control skill to the immortal thief.
Brother Cai had also rushed over. He tossed a timely ‘true love’ to Wei
Xiao, protecting him with the invincible state.
This was the real tiger coming down from the mountain.
The shadow thief’s skills were fierce. Its first skill could be brushed out and
linked up for as long as the universe existed.
Wei Xiao’s extreme operations perfectly demonstrated the definition of the

shadow thief’s unlimited shadow attack!
FTW.Quiet killed 3U.Sleep.

FTW.Quiet killed 3U.One.
The shadow thief took a double kill, and Brother Cai also took two assists.
This time, the two assists hadn’t just been ‘mooched’, he’d really given
assistance!
At the same time, 3U’s teammates had transmitted over. Were Wei Xiao and
Bai Cai done for?
Wei Xiao was merciless when it came to selling vegetables, “Bye bye!” He
entered a stealth mode and retreated.
Bai Cai, who was covered in holy light, was both dazzling and eye-
catching. “… Do you have any motherf*cking normal human feelings…”
The paladin who had no skills left couldn’t run away. Fortunately, FTW’s
players had also transmitted over and engaged in a brawl with 3U. At the
end, the Wei Xiao who’d retreated snuck back and sent off Li Chun.
Li Chun: “……” Although he’d never made an appointment with the

grandmaster before, he’d experienced the fear of being dominated by the
grandmaster!
In the first game of the BO3, FTW won the match!
Both sides struggled back and forth for nearly 40 minutes, playing out
countless brilliant operations, and ended the game with a huge bang.
The commentators gave a summary and analysis of the game while the
players on the stage drank water and caught their breath.
Wei Xiao wasn’t polite at all when it came to praising Bai Cai, “Badass,
Brother Cai! It feels really great to be on the receiving end of your love!”
Bai Cai had just been about to boast when he thought about how the team
chat was recorded, and would be edited and released to the public. His neck
chilled, and he spoke in a low voice, “Who the hell loves you!”
Respect yourself a little, Wei-gay-Xiao.

Wei Xiao’s scalp tensed up, and he said, “Who the hell wants your love?”
He hurriedly got rid of any relationship between them.
The speed at which you go back on your words isn’t human! Wasn’t that a
little too fast?!
Wei Xiao was afraid that the captain wouldn’t understand and explained
further, “Don’t use the holy paladin in the future. Those lovey-dovey skills
that you use are going to destroy Laozi’s innocence.”
Bai Cai couldn’t help it anymore, “… F*ck you… %￥%&… %&%….”

Yep, it was censored.
Chen Feng put his headphones on just in time to hear these two primary
school chickens sniping at each other.
“What are you boasting for?” His Majesty the Queen spoke up, “Are your
egos all inflated from just a small win?”
Wei Xiao and Bai Cai each got a chestnut on their foreheads and grew
obedient.
Chen Feng stood behind Tang Chen and looked at the screen over his
shoulder.
This was a very common action, The team coaches didn’t have computers
of their own, and they would have to look at a team member’s screen for the
BP segment.
The two little ones were too excited, and Chen Feng wanted to cool them
down a bit, so he came over to Tang Chen’s side to oversee the situation.
But unexpectedly, Tang Chen’s body shrank down almost imperceptibly

when his hand landed.

Tang Chen gritted his teeth and forcibly diverted his attention, “Ban the
berserker thief?”
Chen Feng’s gaze landed on the back of his neck, his heart thumping hard,
“You…”
Tang Chen: “Ban the berserker warrior first, then.”
Chen Feng abruptly gathered his wits and stopped thinking about other
things. He focused his attention on the BP, “Yes.”
He couldn’t let 3U take the double berserker combo. Asleep’s berserker

thief was too explosive, and once it was matched up with the berserker
warrior, the current FTW wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Chen Feng’s thoughts were a little messy, so even though he was able to
grab a good line-up for the players, the other side was still able to snatch up
the berserker thief with their first pick priority.
3U had lost one match. If they lost this match as well, the game would be
over.
3U would definitely spare no effort on this decisive game since they had to
win.
The regular season was a points competition, especially in the cycle of

games between different groups. This would be the only game they played
against each other during the entire regular season, and no matter if they
won or lost, they would have to charge into the playoffs if they wanted to
meet again.
So, everyone was very serious; nobody wanted to lose!
In the second match, 3U obtained one of their strong line-ups: Death knight,
Berserker thief, Spirit mage, Light priest, Frost hunter.
FTW’s line-up wasn’t bad, either: Blood warrior, Flying thief, Fire mage,
Holy priest, Storm hunter.
Chen Feng’s expression grew heavy after he stepped down from the stage.
The camera inadvertently switched to him, and quite a few viewers in the
audience noticed his expression.
“Why does Queen Chen look so serious?”
“FTW’s line-up is pretty good.”
“Using the flying thief against the berserker thief is a good call. He can run
away even if he can’t beat win; FTW’s side also has the fire mage and
storm hunter for additional DPS, so the line-up should be very stable.
“Wait a minute… God Le’s storm hunter…”
“Ummmm, I’m a little worried.”
Yue Wenle’s storm hunter was very dazed. If it encountered a team that
tended to play steadily, he could attack and kill until the other side’s
mothers wouldn’t even recognize them. But when he met with a reckless
team, he would expose his weaknesses and end up ganked until he exploded
on the spot.
During 3U and FTW’s countless training matches together, Asleep had

pressed Yue Wenle down and smeared him all over the ground before.
However, when faced with the berserker thief, he would die even more
miserably if he didn’t take the storm hunter.
The range of the berserker thief’s scythe was too long, and when the
marksman with limited mobility was hooked by it, it could only perform a
health bar vanishing skill on the spot.
The audience made many guesses, but Chen Feng’s own heart was as clear
as a mirror.
It was 3U forcing them to use the storm hunter, and also that they could
only use the storm hunter.
But this didn’t mean that FTW would lose, unless the top and bottom lanes
collapsed at the same time, and Wei Xiao had no way to provide support. If
that happened, then it would be a big problem.
The top lane…
Chen Feng stared at Tang Chen. He couldn’t see the slightest difference in
his wheat-colored skin. He still had the same careless, unconcerned
appearance that he’d always had as he guarded FTW day after day for
years.
The game began, but Chen Feng couldn’t focus on the canyon.
He was biting the nail on his thumb, and his heart was a mess.
Tang Chen……
The player who’d stayed in FTW for the longest time. He’d joined the team
two years before Close, and played competitively with Chen Feng for a
year.
Later on, Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun had joined the team, and Tang Chen
had become the team’s substitute.
Chen Feng played with them for one year, but he really couldn’t keep up
with the pace. He applied for retirement and went to join the coaching team.
Then, Close had joined the team, and Tang Chen continued as a substitute.
During FTW’s most glorious year, seven people had gone up to the stage to
hold the championship cup.
The coach, the five starters, and the substitute Tang Chen.
Everyone focused on the five dazzling people and occasionally shone some
light on the coach, but nobody would ever pay attention to Tang Chen.
The Team of Gods’ substitute, the substitute who never had the opportunity
to play, yet always remained at the peak condition, keeping guard over their
backs.
At the time, Chen Feng had asked Tang Chen, “… Do you want to
transfer?”
Under the brilliant aura of the five starters, Tang Chen’s light had been
completely hidden.
But Chen Feng knew that Tang Chen was very strong. He was hard-
working, and he often trained for even longer than the starters. His
operations and game consciousness were both very good, and especially
with that big heart of his, it was something that many players wished for but
couldn’t encounter.
If he hadn’t encountered those five, Tang Chen would definitely be able to

show off his own brilliance on the field.
Unfortunately… the Team of Gods was too dazzling.
At the time, Tang Chen had laughed easily, “Why would I want to transfer?
You guys are so good to me.”
Indeed, this silly man attached a lot of importance to relationships. He

remembered every little bit of kindness shown to him in his mind.
Later, the Team of Gods disbanded, and Close, who’d bought the team, had
given everyone a chance to leave freely if they wanted.
Chen Feng had chosen to stay, but he hadn’t wanted Tang Chen to remain.
He’d said to the top-laner, “Go to TPT, they’re short on top-laners. You’ll
have a better future there!”
But Tang Chen hadn’t hesitated to say, “Then what about Close? He lacks
everything.”
Chen Feng reminded him, “If you stay in FTW, you’ll never be able to
surpass Yuan Ze!”
This was an indisputable fact. Every new starter that filled a position in the
new FTW would be under great pressure.
Tang Chen couldn’t surpass Yuan Ze, and the mid-laner couldn’t surpass
Xie He. The marksman couldn’t surpass the records that Kim Sung-hyun
had left behind, and the support player wouldn’t be able to copy the
legendary Yan Jiang.
Chen Feng felt heartache for Tang Chen and hoped that he could fight for
himself for once.
Tang Chen saw through his thoughts, “I can’t go, you guys need me.”
So he’d stayed and given up a new beginning, carrying an unresolvable

burden and fulfilled his oath––
Guard Close.
Guard FTW.
Guard the team’s new players.
The top lane was lonely, but also powerful.
He held down the fort there, a solid back that Close could trust.
The first year…
The second year…
FTW had never been able to achieve good results. In the 5v5 game, two
people weren’t enough to hold up the battlefield,
Until the third year, when Tang Chen really helped up the championship
cup, this careless and easygoing man burst into tears.
It was only a domestic championship, but it had really belonged to him.
And it was also the last championship of his career.

However, Tang Chen had seen both the hope in the rise of FTW and their
near future.
He applied for retirement and left his position to a stronger newcomer. He

would continue to guard FTW from behind the scenes.
Was Tang Chen reconciled with that?
Unfortunately, his age and body wouldn’t give him a chance to be

unreconciled.
His state was deteriorating, so he’d chosen to retire responsibly.
During the winter training camp, Tang Chen and Chen Feng had stayed in
the same room. Chen Feng knew better than anyone that this guy couldn’t
let go.
He couldn’t put down the competition, couldn’t put down the battlefield,
couldn’t put down FTW.
So, when Close came to find him, hoping that he could play for another
regular season, Tang Chen had quickly agreed.
That night, this big man who was smiling and laughing all day long said to
Chen Feng, “Old Chen, what if I end up dragging these boys down?”
It was the first time Chen Feng had seen him like this. He lit a cigarette for
him, “What are you thinking? It’s just a regular season.”
Tang Chen’s eyes were very bright, “Wei Xiao wants first place.”
Chen Feng: “Him? He even wants to pluck out the moon from the sky.”
Tang Chen: “I want to help him get first place.”
Returning back to the game, back to the familiar canyon, guarding FTW
once again. Tang Chen wanted to win more than anyone else.
This was the last competition of his career. He was very happy to be able to
participate in the new FTW.
xiin: we learn a little more about Tang Chen~

Ch124 - Keeping up with this beast
was too difficult!
Wei Xiao could sense that something was off right at the start of the game.
At first, he didn’t think too much of it. He just thought that 3U’s murderous
aura was too strong.
3U was really filled with killing intent in this game. This was their first
official game against FTW this season, fighting against last year’s
championship team!
They wanted to win!
If they couldn’t win against the FTW that didn’t have Close and were still
running in, how would they be able to join in the running for the
championship?
They had to win.
They must win.
Regardless of whether it was Asleep or Cong Yi, or even Li Chun, Yoyo,

and Popsicle, they all wanted to win!
They could only meet FTW once during the regular season, and the next
time they played, it would be after the great demon king’s return.
If they couldn’t win this time, then how could they fight against Close!
3U’s team chat was very serious. Asleep was normally silent, but he was
even more so now, like someone had pressed the mute button on him.
Cong Yi didn’t say much either, following Asleep’s pace and charging
straight into FTW’s jungle zone.
Wei Xiao was using the flying thief. The flying thief was an extremely
flexible hero where three of its four skills could be used for movement, and
its fourth skill even had many segments that allowed the hero to move back
and forth. The talent’s nickname in Glory was the ‘running king’, because
nobody could compare with him when it came to footwork.
With such flexibility, there was bound to be reduced advantages in other

places, such as damage output.
Compared with other jungler core talents, the flying thief’s DPS was low. If
it didn’t have a farm advantage of 3000-4000 gold, it was very likely that
the flying thief wouldn’t even be able to fart effectively.
Wei Xiao had taken the flying thief mainly to control the berserker thief.
It wasn’t that other talents couldn’t control the berserker thief, but they
couldn’t control the berserker thief that was being played in doubles mode.
FTW had to respect the berserker thief that had Cong Yi’s protection
because it could kill anyone in its path even in the global competition.
The flying thief’s early game strategy was to avoid fighting. If Asleep and
Cong Yi invaded his jungle zone, then Wei Xiao had to either gather his
teammates together for an ambush, or simply change to another jungle
zone.
This was also in Wei Xiao’s plans. He first started with the blue buff while
Brother Cai provided vision in the bottom lane. If Asleep went to take his
red buff, he would go straight to the opposite side’s jungle area and steal as
much as he could.
Unfortunately, 3U wanted to have a fight. They charged straight into the

jungle zone, aiming right at Wei Xiao.
Little Ning was very eager, “Brother Xiao, are we fighting?”

Tang Chen was to Wei Xiao’s left, and Ning Zhehan was to the right.
Brother Tang’s death knight had started off with its heavy form. It had a
strong control skill, solid health, and DPS. Ning Zhehan’s spirit mage’s
passive skill was heaven defying, and it had a real advantage in the early
stages when it came to moving around and fighting.
There were three of them, and Cong Yi and Asleep only had two people…
Wei Xiao: “Do it!”
This judgement was correct. Encircling the berserker thief and light priest
from the left and right and suppressing them would be an immortal level
start to the game for FTW.
Only, Chen Feng’s heart clenched from where he was watching beneath the
stage.
A fight started in the canyon.
So what if they were fighting a team battle at level one? So what if they
didn’t have many skills? Once they started going wild, they could hurt
people even by biting them with their baby teeth!
The commentators followed up very quickly, explaining the situation

clearly and cleanly, leading the audience members’ hearts to leap up to their
throats.
This kind of start to the game would result either in big gains or a major
collapse. It would depend on who could hold on.
Asleep’s understanding of the berserker thief was really very deep. His
scythe shot out, locking accurately on the flying thief.
Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry about me!”
He was speaking to Little Ning and Brother Tang.

The flying thief was agile. The scythe had hooked him, but as long as he
made use of his high mobility, he could get out of the berserker thief’s
attack range and disrupt his next attack.
Tang Chen’s death knight also rushed over from behind to surround them.
Wei Xiao escaped from Asleep’s scythe and shifted towards the back, “I’ll
wait for Li Chun, you guys take down Asleep.”
The berserker thief’s scythe had come up empty, and there was a cooldown
on its first skill. This was the best time.
Ning Zhehan exposed himself. Wei Xiao was afraid that 3U’s mid-lane Li
Chun would rush over to provide support, so he had to catch him on the
way over and ensure that he didn’t have a chance to provide help!
There was nothing wrong with the entire battle plan. What was left was the
actual fighting.
The spirit mage entered the scene, rolling and colliding and dealing the
highest possible damage. At the same time, he was also beaten down to half
health, “Brother Tang!”
Little Ning had tried his best. He was waiting for the death knight’s
longsword to control the berserker thief.
Tang Chen: “Mm.”
The death knight in its heavy form had a strong control skill. As long as it
could hit the berserker thief, Asleep would be done for.
Once Asleep died, then Cong Yi wouldn’t have a chance to run, either.
The commentator: “God Tang’s death knight has raised its sword, aiming at
Asleep. Once this sword lands, the berserker thief will be sent flying. Quiet
is already on his way back, and Ning Zhehan’s cooldowns are finished.
There’s hope for FTW in this wave!”
As soon as their voice fell, the berserker thief skillfully repositioned itself
and narrowly avoided the death knight’s heavy sword attack!
3U fans exploded, “He evaded it! Holy shit, Sleep God is badass!”
“He moved like a snake, is that even possible?!”
“They can cut a clip of this scene. This old lady could replay it 10,000
times.”
“Sleep Darling, Sleep Darling, mama loves you!!!”
Tang Chen clearly paused for a moment, and it was obvious that he hadn’t
expected that his skill would miss. However, the berserker thief couldn’t
possibly let him have this time for hesitation.
Asleep perfectly exhibited the essence of a mad dog. His scythe flew over
directly and locked onto the death knight’s throat.
Cong Yi’s soft control skill tripped up Wei Xiao slightly, and Ning Zhehan’s
heart cooled. He could tell that things were bad.
3U.Sleep killed FTW.Tango.
Tang Chen died. The berserker thief’s scythe was stained with blood, and he
entered a berserk state.
This talent in the thief profession’s entire body had always been coated with
a crazed temperament. After it entered the berserk state, it was even crazier.
Special effects burst out all over his body, and the scythe whirled and left
bloody shadows. His movement speed, attack speed, and damage dealt were
all greatly improved, and what was even more terrible was that all of his
skill cooldowns would be refreshed. He was just like a hungry wolf
amongst sheep!
Wei Xiao: “Run!”

Ning Zhehan tossed out a skill and used his movement passive.
Unfortunately, Cong Yi had been locked in on him and used his first skill to
disrupt his passive. At the same time, the berserker thief’s scythe flew over
and caught the spirit mage by its slender waist.
He felt like his waist had also been caught in reality!
In this team fight, two people from FTW died, and not only did Asleep pick
up two kills, he’d also forcibly snatched up FTW’s upper jungle zone and
forced Wei Xiao to run and hide.
As the commentators had said, it would either result in big gains or a major
collapse.
Their lives were on the line for the start of this game!
Beneath the stage, Chen Feng’s expression paled, and the little assistant
beside him handed him a cup of water.
Chen Feng accepted it and drank a mouthful of warm water, then gave an
order in a low voice.
The assistant nodded and headed to the backstage lounge.
Tang Chen paused briefly, “I’m sorry.”
Wei Xiao: “What’s there to apologize for?”
Wei Xiao: “If you have to apologize, then I should kneel down and kowtow
to everyone. I made the biggest mistake in that wave.”
Ning Zhehan added hastily, “Me too… I should’ve gone up to deal more
damage.”
Wei Xiao raised his voice, “Alright, don’t be discouraged, the game hasn’t
even started!”
With his words, the atmosphere in the team chat became lively once again.
Brother Cai shouted from the bottom lane, “Don’t worry, don’t worry, my
Darling Le is growing up well, we can fight in the late stage of the game!”
But it was impossible for 3U to give FTW a chance to fight in the late
stages.
It was as though Asleep had been injected with chicken blood. He started
off with such a ferocious rhythm, then continued to bite at people all over
the map.
The cameras focused on him frequently, and every close-up made the fans
scream.
Asleep was only 18 years old this year, and he was one year younger than
Wei Xiao.
He was very tall, his figure thin, and his facial features were delicate. His
complexion was growing paler and paler because he didn’t go out into the
sun all year round, and his eyes that couldn’t seem to wake up from sleep
on normal days, were as bright as stars when he stared at the canyon.
The more they saw his usual lazy appearance, the more fiercely they were
hit by his serious appearance.
The fans screamed endlessly.
Asleep didn’t let down the audience either. He didn’t treat his opponents
like human beings from the beginning to the end.
It had been a long time since Wei Xiao had been suppressed so fiercely, but
unfortunately, his losses in the early stage had been too big, and his farm
was always nearly 2000 gold less than the berserker thief.
In the late stages, Wei Xiao stole farm from everywhere and was able to
take back some advantages somehow, but unfortunately, it was time for Yue
Wenle’s downfall.
It was as though Asleep had installed a radar in Yue Wenle’s body. He

chased after him, chopping and hacking.
God Le had a problem that couldn’t be considered major, but it wasn’t

minor, either: If you don’t hit me, then I’ll develop honestly; as soon as you
bite me, then my surname will no longer be Yue if I don’t f*cking bite you
back!
They were both trained up by the grandmaster. Asleep and Yue Wenle both
became engrossed in it and lost their heads.
Brother Cai shouted until his throat was about to break, “F*ck, Old Yue,
just wait for me!”
“Damn it, Yue Wenle, if you go up and attack again, Laozi’s going to kill
you!”
“Yue Wenle, stop there for me ahhhh, wait until you eat a mouthful of
Laozi’s milk before you go up and die, ahhh!”
Shouting until his throat was broken was of no use. God Le just insisted on
going up, insisted on fighting, and would fight with his life on the line.
Keeping up with this beast was too difficult. Brother Cai wanted to start
killing people!
Later on…
What kind of ‘later on’ could there be.
It was 1:1, then.
It was another 50 minute game. After watching the entire game, the
audience had neck pain.
“They’re too fierce.”
“Seriously, I didn’t expect that FTW would be able to hold on for so long.”
“Yes, yes, yes, Quiet was too good at stealing farm in the middle stages. His
harassment really managed to annoy 3U.”
“Stealing and sneaking around is the flying thief’s core operation.”
“God Le’s late stage game was really…”
“Just get used to it. In the last season, my vegetable had to use three boxes
of throat lozenges every day.”
“Asleep’s still better.”
“If the berserker thief could lose even after taking such a big advantage,
their runner-up placement in the doubles would be fake.”
A BO3 game was two wins out of three matches.
Now, both sides each had one point, and they would be moving to the last
game.
It took more than two hours to play the two games (including the BP time),
so there was a half-time break.
Both sides left their equipment where it was and headed to the backstage
lounge.
Chen Feng had been waiting there for a while, and he’d also prepared tea
and snacks.
Yue Wenle’s mood became stable as soon as he saw the potato chips.
Chen Feng scolded him, “Can’t you be a little more f*cking steady!”
He was crazy on the field, then timid as a quail when he was off the field.
God Le listened obediently to the scolding.
Wei Xiao poked at a piece of watermelon and picked it up to eat, “Coach,
did you see through the fact that we would lose early on?”
If they won the game, they would be going straight home and wouldn’t
need a half-time break.
Looking at the configuration here: Potato chips, watermelon, Black Swan

cake, some hot drinks from a brand that was famous for its long lines…
It was well prepared and couldn’t have been arranged without at least half
an hour of time.
Chen Feng glanced at Tang Chen out of the corner of his eyes and said, “I
originally arranged it as a celebration banquet for you guys.”
Wei Xiao smiled like a fox, “Don’t prepare it next time, it’s bad luck.”
See? Hadn’t the victory party turned into a half-time break?
Chen Feng glared at him, “You’re not old enough to have so many
superstitions.”
Wei Xiao was in a good mood and ate a good many pieces of watermelon
one after another.
Chen Feng then couldn’t help but nag him, “Eating a few pieces is enough.
Be careful of indigestion.”
Wei Xiao: “Yes yes yes!”
Although they’d lost a match, the overall atmosphere in FTW was okay,
and they weren’t in a slump.
At the end of the day, it was just a regular season game. Although they
could only play 3U once during the regular season, there would still be
opportunities later on.
Wei Xiao started selling his own wonderful ideas to Ning Zhehan once
again, “Winning or losing is common. When we’re playing, our hearts,
eyes, and minds have to be filled with ‘win, we must win, we will win’, but
before the game, there’s no need to be so nervous. The closer we get to the
decisive game, the calmer we have to be. A real man is someone who can
look down on life and death while on the edge of a cliff…”
Chen Feng’s brain felt like it was divided into two parts. The left side was
filled with Little Lunatic Wei’s chatter, and the right side was focused on
Tang Chen.
He asked him in a low voice, “Still okay?”
He didn’t say it clearly, but Tang Chen’s back drooped noticeably, “Of
course.”
These two words were spoken in a slightly unnatural tone, and the volume
was a little high, startling the three little ones on the other side.
Wei Xiao’s line of sight shifted over.
Tang Chen sat up straighter and pulled up a grin, “It’s nothing.”
But this grin was so forced that it looked like crying.
Wei Xiao set down his fork and looked over, “Brother Tang, the body is the
capital for revolution.”
The author has something to say: That’s what the captain said~
xiin: WX to the rescue~

Ch125 - I did it especially for love-
ahhhh...
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle were stunned as soon as he opened his mouth.
They’d obviously not noticed anything before.
Chen Feng’s complexion changed slightly. Tang Chen’s mouth moved,

wanting to say something, but ultimately he was unable to speak.
If it came to being big-hearted, then nobody at the scene was more so than
Wei Xiao.
When it came to being careful and attentive, then even the sensitive Chen
Feng would count as being on the same level as him.
Wei Xiao had felt a sense of dissonance within the team ever since the
bloody losses FTW suffered at the start of the game.
Ever since the captain left, one of his mandatory daily tasks was to get to
know all his teammates.
Brother Cai’s zen, Ning Zhehan’s timidness, Yue Wenle’s recklessness; he

observed it all, adapting to and guiding these traits.
Relatively speaking, Tang Chen was the most reassuring one of the group.
He was an old pro, rich in experience, broad-minded and strong… all his
advantages put together equaled one word: steady.
Brother Tang was very stable, steadily guarding the top lane. He didn’t
make his teammates worry.
This feeling was different from the captain. To be more precise, the captain
was like a vast sky that covered the whole canyon, giving pressure to the
other team and freedom to his teammates.
Tang Chen was more like a solid wall, blocking the enemy’s barrage of
bullets and giving his teammates enough time to find an opportunity to
attack.
Wei Xiao liked Close and could adapt to him best, but when it came to other
professional players, maybe Tang Chen would be the better choice in the
top lane.
He wasn’t aggressive, his pace was steady, and it made people feel
comfortable.
Chen Feng was right. Tang Chen was a rare top-laner, and if he had been
anywhere else but in the Team of Gods, in any other team, he would’ve
been a treasure.
In the last game, Wei Xiao had gradually discovered the problem while
constantly trying to steal resources.
Perhaps because the audience’s eyes remained on Yue Wenle, they had
focused on flaming him for his recklessness. They blamed him for losing
his head in the game to foolhardiness and disregarding everyone and
everything, causing them to lose the game.
But in fact, that wasn’t the case…
Yue Wenle’s problem wasn’t a new thing, and it wasn’t so easy to change.
With the correct guidance, he was like a miracle soldier, but the problem
was that the balance of their team had deviated.
When the bottom lane was reckless, but the top lane was steady, there was a
balance.
When the bottom lane was reckless, but the top lane shrank back, then there
was an imbalance.
What had happened to Brother Tang?
Wei Xiao had thought about it for a long time without any results, until they
returned to the lounge.
With Wei Xiao’s words, the lounge grew so quiet that the sound of a needle
dropping could be heard.
Chen Feng and Tang Chen were both a little flustered. They had considered
that Wei Xiao might discover something, but they hadn’t expected that he
would say it so frankly.
The decisive game against 3U was about to begin. Wasn’t he going to blow
up the other three cubs’ mentality by dropping this sentence?
Chen Feng frowned, wanting to give a vague explanation and let the matter
drop.
But Wei Xiao was more ruthless and asked an even more direct question,
“Are your cervical vertebrae uncomfortable?” He was asking Tang Chen.
Bai Cai, Ning Zhehan, and Yue Wenle were even more stunned. Bai Cai
was the only one who could still speak, “Brother Tang… did your cervical
vertebrae problem flare up?”
Tang Chen immediately replied, “What do you mean, flare up? How can it
be so serious.”
There were indeed some problems with his cervical vertebrae, but it wasn’t
that serious. It was just the normal strain that professional players suffered
from, enough to cause pain, soreness, and swelling, but it would recover
with rest.
When he pretended to have a ‘fractured’ back when Wei Xiao joined the
team, it had mostly been an act.
Wei Xiao was really damned perceptive, “Could it be that you slept badly?”
Tang Chen couldn’t continue his words––it was just that it really was a bit
true.
He was quite concerned about away games. Coming one day ahead of time
and sleeping in a strange place, if he couldn’t adapt and didn’t sleep all
night, his energy levels would be low, but if he slept, then his neck wouldn’t
be able to deal in the morning.
He’d started to feel uncomfortable in the morning, but after the first game,
the discomfort had spread out into a headache.
It had been particularly serious during the game just now. The tendon that
stretched from his spine to his arm was so painful that his hand felt like it
was cramping.
Little Ning was a little flustered, “Then, in the next game…”
Wei Xiao interrupted him, “Why didn’t you say so earlier!”
His light, unconcerned tone made everyone confused for a moment.
Wei Xiao set down his fork, wiped his hands, and came over, reaching Tang
Chen’s back with a few steps, “You may not know this, but I learned from
Doctor Chen.”
Even someone with nerves as rough as Brother Tang’s would feel muddled
at this time, “What…”
The informed vegetable: “……”
Wei Xiao continued, “Physiotherapy. Doctor Chen said that my skills are
enough to go and take the practical test. Come on, come on, I’ll massage it
for you. I can ensure that you’ll immediately be as lively as a dragon and
invigorated as a tiger.”
His voice fell, and his slightly heated fingers landed on the back of Tang
Chen’s neck.
Everyone stopped paying attention to eating their snacks and watched this
wonderful, strange show instead.
Wei Xiao pressed down a few times, then tsked and said, “Brother Tang,
you’re really too tight.”
Wei Xiao talked as he massaged, “Cervical spine exercises, got it? Do it

once for every game, and you can ensure that you’ll resurrect with full
health, able to screw over the other side and overturn the heavens and
earth.”
Bai Cai couldn’t keep listening any longer. He rubbed his forehead, “Can’t
you f*cking speak human words.”
Wei Xiao: “Ah?”
Bai Cai: “Would you die if you didn’t talk dirty!”
Wei Xiao only realized after the fact, “F*ck, Old Bai, you’re so dirty!”
Brother Cai: “…………” This was so damned ridiculous, he’d never seen
someone who retaliated like this.
Chen Feng thought of a certain someone far away in America and felt a
little lucky: If Close was here, then Old Soup would be so covered in
vinegar, he’d become Vinegar Soup.
Regardless of how ‘dirty’ it was, Wei Xiao’s technique wasn’t exaggerated.
After massaging him for five or six minutes, Tang Chen was pleasantly
surprised, “It really works.”
Wei Xiao was quite proud, “Of course, I practiced it especially for love-
ahhhh… for the captain!”
Brother Cai understood what he meant and almost choked to death. He
wished he could weld his closet door shut!
Ning Zhehan came over, “Brother Tang, next time, let’s bring our pillows
with us when we have an away game.”
Ning Zhehan gave him some advice, “Really. When I was studying, there
was a classmate of mine who was picky about beds. He took his pillow with
him wherever he went…”
Yue Wenle added, “Yes, the pillows in our base are really good for
sleeping.”
Bai Cai’s eyes were filled with money, “It’s 8000 for two pillows, how can
you not sleep well with them?”
Ning Zhehan only learned about this now. “Holy shit, it’s so expensive!”
Bai Cai: “Do you know how much the mattress costs?”
Ning Zhehan asked quickly, “How-how much?”
Bai Cai put up a few fingers, and Ning Zhehan sucked in a breath of air.
Brother Cai patted Little Ning on the shoulder, “Now you know how much
the captain loves us.”
Ning Zhehan nodded like garlic being pounded. “This love is so rich!”
The half-time break was only fifteen minutes, and it passed by quickly.
When they went back up to the stage, Tang Chen’s state had changed. The
paleness of his complexion had faded, and the former warmth was back
between his eyebrows.
He walked in at the end of the team, once again the high wall that guarded
FTW!
Chen Feng didn’t say anything more.
What Wei Xiao had given Tang Chen wasn’t just simple relief from his
cervical discomfort, but also the strength to accept and face it.
If he was experiencing discomfort, he could say it.
If there was a problem, he could talk about it.
He wasn’t alone.
We’re not that vulnerable.
Even the wall that propped up the team needed sunshine and comfort.
The game that started at half past six had already been played until half past
eight.
After finishing a stage of the physiotherapy, Lu Feng was in the resistance

room doing resistance training.
The resistance training was relatively comfortable, but it required doing the
same movement over and over without any change. It would get very
boring over a long period of time.
When the nurse asked him if he needed anything, Lu Feng asked her to help
him load up the official live broadcast room from China.
The nurse was particularly kind to him, “Is this your team?”
Lu Feng nodded, “Yes.”
It just happened that the camera was focused on the players as they entered
the arena. A black haired, pale skinned youth smiled at the camera,
revealing the small tiger teeth on one side of his mouth, his appearance cute
and handsome.
The nurse stilled slightly, “He’s very good looking.”

Lu Feng was also looking at him, “Mm.
The little nurse looked at him a bit more, and the more she looked, the more
she felt that he was attractive. She asked curiously, “Does he have a
girlfriend?”
The nurse blinked. “A lot of people must be interested in such a handsome

boy.”
Lu Feng paused for a moment, then said, “I don’t know about others, but I
like him very much.”
The little nurse: “!”
Lu Feng looked at her and asked, “Can you keep it a secret for me?”
The little nurse sucked in a breath, then nodded her head like garlic being
pounded.
Those who weren’t in the circle didn’t understand things that happened in
the circle, but it didn’t prevent her from eating a mouthful of sugar!
FTW vs 3U’s third match.
This wasn’t just the decisive game for 3U anymore; it was also the decisive
game for FTW.
No matter what, it was their last game that night.
If they won, they’d have grabbed a point and temporarily have the top rank
for the regular season.
If they lost, they’d lose a point, but it wouldn’t be to the point where getting
first place in the group was out of reach.
Points battles were all like this. It was difficult to determine the team’s
position until the last game was played.
This game wasn’t at the level of ‘life or death’, but both sides were very
serious: they were showing respect to their opponent as well as to
themselves.
The BP was relatively slow in the third match, especially when it came to
FTW. They had a slight dispute amongst themselves.
Tang Chen said, “Can I use the space-time knight?”
Chen Feng frowned. “We haven’t practiced this line-up privately before.”
Tang Chen didn’t say a word.
Wei Xiao: “Double support?”
Chen Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “Let’s do it, I want to try how it feels to have double the love.”
The so-called ‘double support’ meant that there would be two support
talents in the team. Brother Cai would be the main support, but either the
top-laner or mid-laner in the team would take a support type talent.
For example, 3U was very good at having Li Chun play the zither warlock,
which was a support-type mid-lane talent. It could DPS and control the
enemy as well as heal friendly troops.
3U was a typical jungler core team, and they often used double support with
Asleep, the three people sticking together to gank the other side.
This kind of double support set up was very common, and many teams
could use it. For example, South Korea’s Pro had also used double support
with Kim Sung-hyun before. It was a very valid way of raising up their
Baby Hyun into your Daddy Hyun, protecting him until not a single gap
was left. As long as the opponents couldn’t touch Kim Sung-hyun, then Pro
was INVINCIBLE in all caps.
It was very common to see a mid-lane support, but it was very rare to have
the top-laner play support.
The divine warrior was a function-based top-laner, but its talent attributes
were––warrior, tank.
It wasn’t much different from a pure support, but it could advance and
retreat.
It was different for the space-time knight. This was a talent that could be
used as a pure support, but it was just that Brother Cai didn’t like to use it
much.
Knights naturally had high health and a defensive bonus. They were very
good at taking a beating.
The space-time knight was a wonderful support talent. Amongst its skills,
there was continuous DPS, a large-scale forced control, and a high mobility
team skill––space-time prophecy.
This skill was effective on friendly troops. If it was used at the right time, it
could let teammates break through the shackles of time and return back to
the state they were at one second ago.
What did this mean?
It meant that even if Yue Wenle died in that one second, time would go
back, and he would be resurrected.
The space-time knight was precisely such a bug-level skill.
It sounded great, but it was very hard to master.
If it was used well, it could bring the dying back to life and turn the battle
situation around, but when it was used badly, it was useless.
This one second was too hard to grasp. It was meaningless if used too early,
and useless if used too late.
One second was very short in the game, but in a group fight, it was also
fatal.
How this one second was grasped depended on how the space-time knight
played with time.
Just then, 3U took the zither warlock. They also planned to play double
support!
Tang Chen spoke up again, “I want to give it a try.”
It was rare for Old Soup to be so insistent. Chen Feng agreed, “Alright.”
He wasn’t worried about Tang Chen’s space-time knight. It was just that he
was afraid that his teammates wouldn’t be used to it.
This talent put too much emphasis on teamwork.
If their tacit understanding was sufficient, it would be godly. If their tacit

understanding was insufficient, then it would be damning.
There was no middle ground.
Wei Xiao stared at the talent column, “Since it’s double support, I’ll use the
shadow thief.”
He’d seen it before––
Brother Tang’s space-time knight and the captain’s shadow thief.
It was in a game two years ago, when Wei Xiao saw Close for the first time.
The author has something to say: While writing about e-sports players’
pain, I felt deeply for them. Not to mention them, even us who type out
words on the keyboard have to stick plasters and struggle QAQ.
Ch126 - We’re not a CP.
In the 15 minute half-time break.
The atmosphere in the 3U lounge was much heavier than FTW’s.
They were the ones who’d won just now, and it was them who had managed
to pull back a point, but 3U was so serious that it seemed almost as if they’d
lost the game.
3U’s coach’s expression was particularly dignified. “I don’t recommend

using the storm thief.”
Asleep didn’t speak.
Cong Yi said, “It’s the decisive game. FTW won’t take it lightly. It won’t be
easy for us to win if we don’t take it.”
Coach: “It’s just a small game in the regular season. Losing a point here has
little effect on our total results, and it’s within a controllable range.”
3U’s manager also said, “This new line-up is our trump card. It’s too early
to take it out now.”
The coach nodded. “We have to face TPT next. You’re all clear about Fu Li.
If you let him see Asleep’s storm thief, he’ll certainly come up with a way
to deal with it. When the time comes, things will be difficult for us.”
In the groupings for this regular season, FTW and RR were in Group A, and
3U and TPT were in Group B.
They only cycled through the teams in the other group once, but they would
cycle through their own group twice. Compared with FTW, 3U was more
on guard against TPT this time.
Because being within the same group meant that they were both fighting for
first place.
In order to fight their way out of the regular season, 3U had made many
preparations.
New line-ups, new systems, new ways of playing, all of them had been
researched and analyzed in depth.
Asleep’s best talents were from the thief profession, and this was practically
3U’s signboard. However, once a certain profession became a signboard, it
was easy to target.
If the opponent allocated a ban position for it, then it would be useless no
matter how excellent you were at it.
So, they had to develop new ways of playing, and using the storm thief was
one of them.
This was a new system that they’d been working hard on for a long time.
They had explored a variety of cooperation methods, and come up with a
new line-up that they’d honed against foreign competition zones over a long
time.
If they took it out in the second week of the regular season, what would
they do later on?
Even if they won against FTW, how could they snatch up number one in the
group if they lost to TPT twice?
Manager Zhou and the coach’s worries weren’t unreasonable, but…
Asleep: “Storm thief.”
He seldom opened his mouth to speak, and when he did, his distinctive
cold, metallic voice was particularly sharp to the ears.
Manager Zhou twisted his eyebrows, and his eyes showed some of his
impatience.
Asleep: “Win.”
Manager Zhou: “Will you lose if you don’t use the storm thief? Close isn’t
even in FTW right now, you guys…”
The coach interrupted this fool’s words in time and asked, “What if you
lose?”
He stared at Asleep.
Cong Yi, who was to the side, spoke up languidly, “If we lose, we’ll listen
to you about everything. In this regular season, we’ll play however you tell
us to play.”
Coach: “Okay.”
Manager Zhou raised his eyebrows. “You guys…”
The coach looked at him, “The game’s not over yet. The player’s emotions
are more important than anything else.”
He shot Manager Zhou a look, and Zhou Qing received the hint, but his
heart was filled with huge dissatisfaction: Forget it, if Asleep chose to bail,
then there would be huge problems with 3U.
3U’s lounge was quiet for the last five minutes of the break.
Asleep closed his eyes and leaned back in his e-sports chair. Cong Yi sat
beside him, slowly drinking his lemonade.
Li Chun looked here and there, then decided to shut up and act like a quail.
Asleep and Wei Xiao’s grudges and grievances were something that the
people present more or less knew about.
Li Chun knew that Asleep had lost to Wei Xiao many times, so many times
that it made people’s scalp feel numb.
Cong Yi knew the exact number––462.
The grandmaster had an unwritten rule. He would only accompany each

player for at most 500 games.
If it exceeded this figure, let alone 200 yuan per game, he wouldn’t play for
even 20,000 per game.
Asleep and the grandmaster had soloed for 500 games, and he’d lost 462 of
them. This ratio was so shocking it would make people’s mouths drop open.
Was Asleep weak?
Being someone who was considered the league’s super dark horse as soon
as he entered the professional circle, how could he be related to the word
‘weak’?
Was the grandmaster strong?
He really was strong. It was hard to imagine that a non professional player
could have such a deep understanding of soloing.
This wasn’t just talent. It was hard work, passion, and amazing willpower.
After losing so many games, Asleep’s obsession with Wei Xiao couldn’t be
expressed by simple numbers.
The grandmaster had once said that he wouldn’t play professionally.
And he’d also said that he would only be an accompanying trainer for 500
games.
At the time, Asleep had thought that he would never have a chance to defeat
him again.
Now…
Quiet had shown up in FTW.

The grandmaster had come to the professional arena and become his
opponent.
He’d thought he would never be able to win against him again, thought that
he would never have an opportunity to play, and he’d thought that he would
always have to bear this regret.
––Wei Xiao was now standing across from him.
How could Asleep miss this opportunity?
In every solo game, every match, he just wanted to go all out!
He wanted to defeat Wei Xiao, win against Quiet, and win against himself!
Cong Yi understood better than anyone else the significance that Wei Xiao
held for Asleep.
It was Cong Yi who’d led Asleep to the professional arena, but Wei Xiao
was the one who’d thoroughly aroused the passion in Asleep’s blood and
made him stay.
Asleep wanted to win.
Cong Yi also wanted to win!
The commentators were surprised when they saw the line-ups of both sides.
“Tang Chen took the space-time knight knight. Is FTW going to play
double support?”
“The space-time knight hasn’t been on the court for a long time. There
aren’t many top-laners who can use it well anymore.”
“FTW’s double support configuration is very strong. Will 3U ban the

shadow thief?”
“They didn’t! FTW took the shadow thief!”

The scrolling comments had more content, “I’m done for, I’m done for, I
want to cry.”
“This old fan is already crying my heart out.”
“God Tang’s space-time knight ahhhhh, my Close’s strongest back-up!”
“Let me ask quietly, are the morning dew sisters still alive…”
“Alive, alive! But my Lulu isn’t here!”
“My time is only frozen for you.”
“I’ll break through time and wait for the return of the king.”
“That’s right, that’s right…”
Some new people didn’t know what was going on, “What’s morning dew?
“Who is Lulu?”
Then, they realized, “Lu, LU, Lulu… holy shit, you guys are really gutsy!”
“The great demon king even has such a cute… cute… nickname?!”
“This five year hardcore FTW fan wants to express that the 16 year old
Lulu was invincible when he spiraled up to the sky in an explosion of
cuteness.”
“……………………”
The new fans thought about it, “Sorry… I can’t imagine it!”
When Wei Xiao took the shadow thief, Lu Feng’s eyes were filled with his
smile.
The little nurse didn’t know Chinese and couldn’t understand the scrolling
comments that were flying across the screen. She could only ask curiously,
“Is this the hero Quiet is best at?”
Lu Feng explained, “One of them.”
The nurse didn’t know anything about the game, but it didn’t prevent her
from looking at the handsome boy. “He’s so powerful! Can your team
win?”
The little nurse realized that she’d asked a bit too much and apologized, “I
don’t quite get it, please don’t take it seriously.”
Lu Feng stared at the screen, “It’s okay.”
The little nurse glanced at him, her heart pounding.
Sure enough, a handsome man was handsome regardless of race, region, or

national boundaries. This aura around him really made people unable to
move their legs.
However, such a handsome man already had someone in his heart.
Ah…
The little nurse was lovelorn again.
This was already the second time today; it really wasn’t worth it.
Lu Feng was looking at the screen, but his thoughts weren’t on the match
between FTW and 3U.
He remembered what Wei Xiao had said to him when he was still in China.
“Do you know when the first time I saw you was?”
When they were alone together, Wei Xiao always liked to stick close to
him, hooking their fingers together, touching his arms, and when he
couldn’t hold back, he’d kiss him.
Lu Feng pressed down his restless hands and was a little absent-minded,
“Hm?”
Wei Xiao insisted on touching him. “Guess.”
Lu Feng: “Two years ago?”
The first time they’d met was two years ago, when FTW outbid the other
clubs with 2,000,000 and extended an olive branch to Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao had left the youth training camp and gone straight to FTW. At the
time, he was wearing only a black jacket, his long legs encased in jeans, and
his nose was red with cold, but his eyes were black and bright, and his voice
was equally clear and bright, “Close, can I solo with you?”
Lu Feng had been stunned for a moment.
He’d stood on the steps and looked at the youth standing below him. He
was clearly looking downwards, but it was as though he could see the rising
sun, breaking through the winter fog and summoning the long lost spring.
Wei Xiao: “To be exact, it was nearly three years ago.”
Lu Feng: “Where?”
Had he seen Wei Xiao three years ago?
Impossible. As long as he’d met him once, he wouldn’t have forgotten him.
Wei Xiao: “In an internet cafe.”
Lu Feng frowned, “I…”
Wei Xiao jumped out of his arms and ran to turn on the computer, easily
pulling up a game video.
Lu Feng understood with a glance.

Wei Xiao pointed to the shadow thief bathed in the current of space-time
and said, “Back then, I cut class and ran to the internet bar, and what I saw
was exactly this scene.”
There were always one or two extremely fragile moments in one’s life.
Helpless, confused, lonely, and in pain.
Feeling as though one was separated from everything, abandoned by

everyone around them, as though their long and distant life would just be
bitter and miserable.
However…
As long as there was just a moment, a scene, or even just a casual smile, it
could become a dazzling light.
A light that shot through the dark and lit up the whole stage!
There was no doubt that during that spring, the shadow thief named Close
had lit up Wei Xiao’s world.
He’d carried his teammates’ expectations in a desperate situation, stood up

from death in a reversal of space and time, and forged a bloody path in a
guaranteed loss situation.
Perseverance, faith, and firmness of will.
At that moment, through that scene, endless power had surged through Wei
Xiao.
A power called Close!
Ever since Wei Xiao expressed his feelings, he spoke endless sweet words
like they didn’t cost money.
Whenever Lu Feng felt that his words couldn’t be any sweeter, Wei Xiao
was always able to come up with another sentence that was so sweet it
made his heart melt––
“Captain, I got to know you earlier than you think.”
“Captain, I started liking you earlier than you think.”
“Heya, I fell in love with you at first sight, even though you didn’t know
who I was at the time.”
Lu Feng kissed him, fearing that he would turn reality into a dream if he
continued talking.
Sweet Wei went offline, and the little vinegar bag came out again.
In the past, there hadn’t been so many scrolling comments, but now, the
screen was full of them.
Especially the ‘morning dew’, ‘Lulu’, ‘… Time only solidifies for you.’
A whole pile of golden CP sentences scrolled across the screen, and Wei
Xiao was jealous enough to die. “Morning dew sounds really good.”
Better than ‘seclusion’, better than ‘twin junglers’, and better than the great
and little demon king.
Wei Xiao was even more jealous, “Lulu?”
Ahhhh, how could things be like this?!
Lu Feng poked his eyebrows. “Show respect for your elders.”
Wei Xiao lifted up his arm and looked at him. “Lulu!”
Wei Xiao leaned in and bit at his Adam’s apple. “It sounds terrible!”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao lifted his head up to look at him again. “Big brother.”
Lu Feng’s heart stuttered.
“Boyfriend.”
“……”
“Hus...wu…”
Lu Feng blocked his lawless mouth.
The Wei Xiao who became increasingly energetic with more kissing pasted
himself against him again. “How come the CP names of you with other
people sound so good?”
Morning dew, double wind… even the pickled vegetables CP sounded

interesting.
How come it was so difficult when it came to him? Just thinking up a CP

name was enough to make him want to go into seclusion.
Lu Feng: “Because we’re not a CP.”
Wei Xiao was stunned, looking at him with wide eyes.
Lu Feng kissed him gently, then added in a low voice, “… We’re

boyfriends.”
Wei Xiao: “!!!”
The author has something to say: Lulu, tsk. [back feels cold, lifting up the
pot lid and crawling away]
xiin: i feel like we need a glossary for all these CP names (and nicknames…
Lulu~)
Ch127 - I’ll break through time
and wait for the return of the king.
“Ah, isn’t the situation dangerous for the red team with this wave?”
The nurse’s voice brought Lu Feng’s thoughts back to the present.
The canyon was already taken over by a messy brawl.
The red team was FTW, and the blue team was 3U. For those who didn’t
know much about the game, they could only understand that there was a red
team and a blue team.
Lu Feng looked at the screen where a fierce fight had broken out between
FTW and 3U.
The atmosphere in this decisive game was different. Both sides were very
serious, and they were extremely tense right from the start.
Asleep’s storm thief and Tang Chen’s space-time knight were both
uncommonly seen talents, and the audience was very interested when they
saw them. Analysis emperors came out one after another, speaking like they
understood more clearly than the ten people in the arena.
“Sure enough, when Brother Tang goes on stage, FTW can play double
support!”
“They’ve practiced it before. God Tang’s space-time knight and God Q’s
shadow thief must have practiced together thousands of times in private.”
When Lu Feng saw this scrolling comment, “……”
He was afraid they hadn’t practiced it even once together.

3U fans were even more energetic, “Ahhhh, my Asleep is really suited for
these crazy heroes.”
“Is the storm thief really crazy?”
It couldn’t be seen from the surface. This thief talent spec wore tidy light
armor and had the natural and unrestrained temperament of an assassin, but
it didn’t look as crazy as the berserker thief.
The fans explained, “Wild storm thief!”
The passersby: “…………”
You guys are really having a good time playing with words.
3U’s mid-laner, jungler, and support players were like conjoined babies,
sweeping by like a gust of wind or a tornado wherever they went, uprooting
the grass that was FTW and sending them back home.
Wei Xiao was quite subdued in this game. It wasn’t that Brother Cai was no
good, nor was it that Ning Zhehan was no good. It was really due to the
restraints from the line-up.
Asleep was escorted by Daddy Cong Yi and a zither warlock mommy. One
could apply control skills, add shields, and add speed, while the other could
heal, and heal, and heal.
What about Wei Xiao’s side?
Brother Cai could control, heal, and shield, but Little Ning couldn’t. He’d
picked a fire mage, and his damage couldn’t stack up in the early stages. He
had short legs and a crispy body. When the ‘tornado’ swept by, he could
only hope that he wasn’t swept away. How could he even stand up steadily?
It was 3v3 from both sides, but FTW was really subdued.
Both of them had double support line-ups, but the nature of the line-ups
were very different.
If the mid-laner was the secondary support, then they could follow the
jungler around across the entire map and even give the experience and farm
from the mid-lane to the jungler player. The top lane was a position that
couldn’t easily move around. If the secondary support player was in the top
lane, then there was a limit to how much support they could give.
When Asleep ran off to the bottom lane, could Tang Chen cross the entire
map and head to the bottom lane to provide support?
It was unrealistic.
Wei Xiao could either take Brother Cai and fight against Asleep two against
three, or he could take Little Ning with him and fight with two and a half
people against three.
In short, they were really suppressed at this stage.
Little Ning felt a little unhappy. “Brother Xiao…”
Wei Xiao said, “Don’t get anxious. We’ll stabilize our farm, then wait for a
wave of small group fights.”
As a senior hardcore Close fan, Wei Xiao understood the routine even if he
hadn’t practiced this line-up before.
They were suppressed in the early stages, but as long as they could help
Tang Chen take down the first top lane tower and liberate the space-time
knight from the top lane, they’d have the chance to fight back!
Tang Chen’s performance on the top lane was very stable. Although he was
using a second support talent, he was still able to steadily hold up against
the other side’s top-laner, fighting back and forth, and his farm didn’t fall
behind at all.
It wasn’t clear if it was his hot blooded passion, or if Little Lunatic Wei’s
physiotherapy techniques had really been useful, but Tang Chen couldn’t
feel the strain in his muscles anymore, and his consciousness and state were
back to their peak.
Tang Chen said, “Wei Xiao, come to the top lane.”
Wei Xiao glanced at the bottom lane. “Old Yue, stay steady.”
FTW’s intentions were clearly written across the canyon–-
Our second support is in the top lane, and we want to liberate the space-
time knight, so we have to crush 3U’s first top lane tower.
Even the audience could understand this. How could 3U not understand
this?
They clearly understood.
3U’s strategy was also very simple. They could either fight to the death
with them in the top lane, or they could draw their attention away to the
bottom lane and drive Yue Wenle into a corner.
The former was more exciting, but the latter was more rational.
At this time, Cong Yi was a little worried that Asleep would want to go up
and fight against the grandmaster.
But Asleep was already heading towards the bottom lane.
Cong Yi was relieved. “Let’s mess with Old Yue!”
Li Chun: “Got it!”
FTW went to pressure the top lane, so they would pressure the bottom lane.
Even if they ended up trading a tower for a tower, 3U wouldn’t lose out on
this deal.
It wasn’t a big deal if the top-laner died as their purpose was to resist
pressure. However, it would be fatal if the bottom lane marksman died
because they needed to develop urgently.
Losing their top lane for the sake of the bottom lane, no matter how they
looked at it, 3U would come out on top.
How could Wei Xiao not understand something that everyone knew?
Close wasn’t in the canyon, and he was now the one who had to calculate
three steps ahead. He’d naturally figured this out a long time ago, so he’d
already given Yue Wenle the order.
“If you really can’t hold on, let the tower fall to preserve your life.”
Wei Xiao: “If you die, I’m going to let Soybean loose in your closet.”
Yue Wenle was shocked. “You’re inhuman!”
Brother Cai went quiet for a moment, then said, “It’s really a case where the
wicked will be harassed by their own ilk.”
If this segment of their team chat was broadcast, God Le’s little sister fans
would laugh themselves to death.
Who was Soybean?
The house demolition husky.
Were there clothes in the closet?
No, no, no, it was filled with God Le’s lifeline––potato chips.
Think about that scene, where a husky was set loose in a closet filled with
potato chips.
They didn’t know if God Le would go crazy or not, but Brother Soy
definitely would!
This threat was too heavy. The Yue Wenle who’d been ganked so much his
hands were itchy grew steady. “The bottom tower is gone.”
Keeping the tower was impossible. The mad dog storm thief had already
gnawed away half of his health. If he walked a single step forward, Old
Yue’s potato chip treasures would become dog food!
Wei Xiao: “It’s okay.”
His voice had just rung out when the system announcement rang out.
FTW had taken down the first tower in 3U’s top lane, and 3U had taken
down the first tower in FTW’s bottom lane.
At the same time, FTW had killed 3U’s top-laner Popsicle.
Brother Popsicle was crying and howling in the team chat, “I feel that Quiet
is looking down on me. Why didn’t he use eight light arcs to kill me?!”
Cong Yi stabbed at his heart mercilessly. “Because you’re not worth it.”
Brother Popsicle: “…………”
Don’t ask, if you ask, then he had gone into seclusion!
There was a gap in the top lane now, which meant that FTW’s team
mobility had increased. Yue Wenle went back to the base to recover, and
Wei Xiao took the double supports and teleported straight to the bottom
lane.
3U was very keen, and their positioning was very steady. They were already
ready for a fight.
4v4, this was probably the most exciting skirmish in today’s competition!
FTW had their top laner, jungler, support, and mid-laner, and 3U had their
bottom lane marksman, jungler, support, and mid-laner.
This wasn’t a small group fight, it was a battle as big as Mars smashing into
Earth!
Yue Wenle was still at the resurrection fountain. “Should I go to the bottom
lane?”
If he went over, it would be FTW’s five against four, and they would have
more of an advantage.
Wei Xiao: “Go to the top lane.”
Yue Wenle didn’t teleport over. If he went over, they might scare off 3U,
and the gains wouldn’t be worth the losses.
It was safer for Yue Wenle to go to the top lane. Even if FTW lost this
group fight, Yue Wenle would still be able to push down 3U’s second tower.
It would be worth it!
A fierce battle was imminent.
They’d been fighting from 6PM to 9PM, and their eyes were already red
from all the killing. At this moment, they each noticed the other side’s flaws
and rushed up like hungry wolves attacking a tiger.
The speed of the commentary was also amazing. The hosts spoke as fast as
firecrackers, describing the battle situation in rapid bursts.
The audience held their breath as they watched, and even the scrolling
comments quieted down.
All kinds of special effects danced wildly through the canyon. Even if it
was across a screen, the viewers could feel the intense visual impact.
The commentator said, “The storm thief has stacked up the hurricane, with
this many layers, it’s at least at 60 percent!”
“It’s still increasing, it’s going to be full soon!”
“Cong Yi’s ultimate move has pulled over the four people from FTW!”
“The hurricane meter is filled up; the storm thief started up its ultimate
move. A full hurricane will activate the storm; Asleep’s damage is going to
be explosive in this wave.”
The storm thief’s ultimate move dealt a catastrophic amount of group

damage.
Akin to the talent name, his big move was the wind storm. His skills and
basic attacks would leave hurricane marks, and he could stack up layers
continuously.
The hurricane limit could be stacked up to seven levels. Once the ultimate
move was started up at that point, the storm thief would stand in the eye of
the storm, where all physical attacks would increase in damage by 100%,
and simultaneously activate the storm. This storm ignored all shields and
defenses, and would directly cause a high amount of direct damage to the
enemy.
At this moment, the canyon was filled with whistling howls!
Wei Xiao, Bai Cai, and Ning Zhehan’s hearts all chilled. They couldn’t hold
up against this damage.
Tang Chen: “Don’t worry.”
The man’s warm voice rang out in their ears, just like a big umbrella that
was held up above them in a rainstorm, calming everyone down.
When the wind thief’s damage swept out fully, the four FTW player’s
health instantly disappeared, plummeting down to a seriously injured state.
The storm continued, almost instantly sweeping away the lives of the four.
The scrolling comments were going crazy.
“The wind thief took a quadrakill!”
“Asleep’s too handsome!”
“Holy shit, this wind thief is really crazy.”

“3U is too strong this year. Asleep really has great potential as a player.”
Only the commentators had seen it clearly, “The space-time knight reversed
time.”
“Was it successful? Was the time node used correctly?”
In a flash, the four from FTW who’d fallen to the ground with empty health
bars all resurrected!
There was no need to mention how crazy the scrolling comments were. The
entire scene was boiling over! Many people in the audience stood up
directly to cheer for this amazing scene!
Asleep, Cong Yi, Li Chun, and Yoyo were all stunned.
In a situation where FTW were set to die, they’d actually relied on the
space-time reversal to allow them to all stand back up again.
This…
Wei Xiao licked his lower lip, “Attack!”
As his voice fell, the unfinished combo that the shadow thief had been
working on before it fell continued and launched eight light arcs flying
through the sky. Countless blue arcs, like cold fire under high heat, curved
like snakes spitting out tongues of flame as it burned their opponents into
ashes.
FTW.Quiet killed 3U.Yoyo.
FTW.Quiet killed 3U.One.
FTW.Quiet killed 3U.LC.

FTW.Quiet quadrakill!
This quadrakill originally belonged to Asleep, but because of the space-time

knight, it had now gone to Wei Xiao.
My time is only frozen for you.
I’ll break through time and wait for the return of the king.
“F*ck! That’s too cool!”
“Time-space shadow, starting to ship it!”
lock it in – they’re shipping a new CP…
“I dreamed back to two years ago. This scene made me cry up a storm!”
“God Tang! Lulu! Quiet! I love FTW! I love all of them!”
The atmosphere had been pushed up to the peak. This wave from FTW was
really beautiful, and the audience’s passion almost blew the roof off the
venue!
FTW’s team chat was filled with ‘Badass, Brother Tang’.
Tang Chen fell to the ground––After Tang Chen had performed his move,
Asleep had still managed to take away the tiny slivers of health Tang Chen
and Bai Cai had left before he died.
“It’s no big deal.” Tang Chen tried to keep his voice steady.
Wei Xiao: “If I was a woman, I’d marry Brother Tang right now!”
Wei Xiao only realized what he’d said afterwards, “……” Oh shit, this
segment better not be broadcast. He didn’t want to have to sleep on the
floor two months from now!
However, the others didn’t feel that anything was amiss. They were already
used to Wei Xiao’s crazy mouth, and they had heard so much of it that
nothing could surprise them anymore.
Tang Chen tried to steady the boiling blood in his veins. “Don’t
underestimate them, the game isn’t over yet.”
The game really wasn’t over yet.
Wei Xiao had gotten a quadrakill, and FTW had snatched up a huge
advantage, but the two sides were just even on the farm panel.
The storm thief’s rhythm had been too crazy in the early stages, and this
only allowed FTW to pull them back to an even starting line.
3U’s team chat.
The Asleep who almost never spoke opened his mouth, “Big brother Yi.”
Cong Yi: “!”
Asleep’s cold and clear voice was like a piece of ice. “I want to win.”
Cong Yi paused for a long time, “… F*ck.”
When a person who never made requests asked something of him, how
could he let him down?
xiin: somehow, i never thought Cong Yi would swear. he always seemed

kinda mild…
Ch128 - You guys should first
reflect on why you’re all so strong.
I’m going to take a call.
Cong Yi was only three days older than Asleep. They were born in the same
year and the same month, and their birthdays were only three days apart.
In principle, he couldn’t be considered that much older, but one call of ‘big
brother’ from Asleep was more than he could bear.
However, this ‘Big brother Yi’ was different. It was a secret between the
two of them.
Asleep, who had slight autistic tendencies as a child, was unaccepting of

everyone, including his parents. It was only Cong Yi, who’d played with
him from when they were three years old, who was different.
Asleep couldn’t speak, so Cong Yi would say things for him.
Asleep didn’t look at anyone, but Cong Yi would help him look.
Even the things that Asleep wanted to eat but didn’t dare to go get would be
given to him by Cong Yi, who would help him get it.
Asleep’s parents had tried their best to help him speak, but they were unable
to guide him. Later on, they had no other way but to ask Little Cong Yi,
who was only five years old at the time, for help.
Cong Yi taught Asleep how to speak, but Asleep only listened and didn’t
talk.
Later on, Cong Yi pointed to himself, “Big brother Yi.”

Asleep looked at him.
Cong Yi: “I’m your big brother Yi.”
He’d instructed him many times to no avail, but one time, Asleep’s game
machine had broken down, and he’d finally spoken, “… Big brother Yi, it
broke.”
For Cong Yi, these three words were different.
Asleep really didn’t make requests––it wasn’t that he didn’t want to, and it
wasn’t that he couldn’t, but that he wouldn’t.
His only requests would start with these words.
So…
Cong Yi straightened his back and stared at the screen, “Then, we’ll win!”
He’d always believed that Asleep’s genius was different from ordinary
people’s genius. When it came to Glory, they’d proved this point!
Asleep was a true genius player in the Glory canyon!
The commentators noticed 3U’s change in momentum, “Although they lost

a quadrakill, 3U’s momentum hasn’t reduced at all. Instead, their storm
thief’s thinking seems even clearer.”
“Yes, the 3U team has grown rapidly since last year, and they’re able to
bring us new surprises with every game.”
“They’re starting to break off one by one!”
Cong Yi was 3U’s main commander, and the real ‘brain’ of 3U.
Asleep wanted to win, so he would accompany him to win!
The space-time knight was very strong, and when it was used the way God
Tang had used it, it was simply like a bug.
Four people had died, then resurrected again on the spot. This was like
seeing hell while still being alive!
Yet, they also couldn’t say that there was no way to target the space-time
knight. Competitive game developers pursued balance in the game.
No matter how strong a talent was, there would always be a way to restrain
it.
For example… splitting off one by one.
The space-time reversal had a very long cooldown time. As long as 3U

could avoid having large-scale group battles with them, the power of this
skill would be greatly reduced.
The impact of resurrecting one person was completely different from

resurrecting four people.
As long as they could control the other side’s health and avoid killing all
four people at the same time, they could completely overcome the space-
time reversal!
FTW soon felt the effects of this change.
Wei Xiao: “This brat Cong Yi is really annoying.”
Brother Cai disdained him grumpily: Who can be more f*cking annoying
than you?
The audience watched on with great interest, “3U’s mentality is really good.
If I was the one who encountered that wave just now, my mentality
would’ve collapsed a long time ago.”
“That’s why they’re professional players, while you’re a noob player.”
“Damn it!”
“I don’t know if it’s just my delusions, but it seems that FTW isn’t
proficient enough with this line-up.”
“Be a little more confident, what do you mean ‘delusion’? God Tang and
the team have only been practicing together for a week. How skilled can
they be together?”
“Ahhhhh, I’m not confident, but I don’t want FTW to lose, I don’t want
God Tang to lose!”
“Seriously…”
The rational analysis emperors showed up, “No matter who loses this game,
it will have little impact on their placement.”
“Yeah, this is FTW’s third game in the regular season. There’s 16 games
left, and losing a game here to calm down a little isn’t so bad.”
“Previous poster is a hater who should get the hell out. My cub is very calm
already, don’t force him to calm down!”
“This is also 3U’s third game. Losing now isn’t so bad, either. They can
review the game properly and sum up their experience. Only in this way
will they be able to go wild later on.”
“Yeah, it’s just a small game, and it won’t affect the final group rankings.”
“It’s great that these two teams aren’t in the same group. I feel that they can
both take first place.”
“This RR fan doesn’t agree. Why can’t our Moonlit take first place?!”
“This TPT fan is unhappy now. Group B’s number one must belong to our
Eurostar!”
A fight broke out in the scrolling comments again, and the occasional
rational analysis was drowned out by the fans arguing.
Some fans had been right in their point of view, though. Winning or losing
this game wasn’t important for either side.
The regular season would last for over two months. Each team had to fight
19 games, and it was not only impossible but meaningless to win all of
them.
In a sense, this so-called regular season was also a series of ‘training

matches’ that the game officials had arranged for the players.
It let them adapt to the game, familiarize themselves with their opponents,
and try out new routines.
The more training they had during the regular season, the more confident
they would be during the playoffs.
If they shrank back and cowered during the regular season, not daring to do
this and that, what awaited them would be death during the elimination
system in the playoffs.
It was just that the two teams were too serious in today’s games, and the
fans were too immersed in it, unable to bear seeing their team lose.
But, in fact, they all knew that losing a game wouldn’t affect their ability to
take first place in their groups, and would even bring them some positive
benefits.
Tripping now was better than falling later. They had to remain vigilant in
order to make continuous progress!
Of course, no matter what was happening outside the court, the ten people
in the canyon were already red-eyed with killing intent.
They wanted to win!
They had to win!
They’d already fought all the way until now. Who the hell would be willing
to lose!
3U had a good plan, and FTW had a good counter-plan.

If you break off from the group in order to mess with my God Tang, then
I’ll split apart and kite the soldier lines, forcing you to run around until your
legs break!
This wave of operational tug of war began, time marching onwards

relentlessly.
When the off-stage Chen Feng saw that the game time had hit 50 minutes,
he sighed lightly.
This group of kids were still a bit too young.
But, it was okay. They’d performed very well, extremely well.
Chen Feng was completely calm, and he was also very pleased.
3U had been ready to risk everything this time. The line-up they’d taken out
was obviously something they’d worked on secretly for a long time.
Asleep’s storm thief, Li Chun’s zither warlock, and Cong Yi’s overall
planning, all of it was being played to the limit now.
On the other hand, on FTW’s side, their line-up was something they’d put
together for the first time, Tang Chen’s state wasn’t ideal, and the five of
them had only practiced together for a bit more than a week.
If they were able to win against the 3U that had cut off all means of retreat,
it would be a bit too exaggerated.
The more they dragged the game on, the less Tang Chen would be able to
hold on.
The stabbing pain that had been suppressed with passionate blood and
strong willpower flared up again.
Wei Xiao was the first to sense it, but there was nothing he could do.
Asleep, who’d remained vigilant the whole time, managed to catch a

loophole in FTW’s game, and pounced on it like a cheetah.
He forcibly started a group fight, and the momentum of thousands of troops
swept across the canyon that held ten people!
The audience was boiling, the scrolling comments were exploding, and the
commentators spoke quickly like war drums that resounded through the sky,
setting off a heat wave in the already heated environment of this tense fight.
Bai Cai fell.
Cong Yi fell.
Cong Yi and Ning Zhehan died together.
Yue Wenle killed Yoyo, and Asleep took down Yue Wenle.
Tang Chen turned back time for Yue Wenle.
The Yue Wenle who’d stood back up again killed Popsicle.
Before Popsicle died, he managed to sweep Yue Wenle away again.
Resurrection armor, invincibility blade, extreme damage immunity…
Countless equipment was replaced one after another through the players’
high hand speeds.
There were only ten people, and the fight only lasted a few seconds, but it
felt as though it was fought over a century of time.
Finally…
The storm thief and the shadow thief launched their ultimate moves at the
same time.
The storms and light arcs that streaked through the sky made the scene look
like a brilliant supernova.
“What happened, what happened?”

The fans were extremely anxious, “Who’s left alive! Who managed to
remain standing until the end!”
Commentator A: “The shadow thief fell first, but Quiet still has a
resurrection armor. He stood back up again!”
Commentator B: “The shadow thief attacked with a shadow and took the
storm thief’s head.”
“Is Quiet the one who managed to remain standing?”
“No! The storm thief still had one damage immunity…”
3U.Sleep killed FTW.Quiet.
The storm thief and the shadow thief perished together!
A battle that lasted for an hour, a battle that saw everyone fight to the
bloody, bitter end. The end result was that nobody survived.
It was extremely quiet in the canyon, and the screens of all ten players were
dark.
What to do…
The ones who were closest to resurrection were the support players from
both sides. There was still ten seconds left.
The super soldiers on FTW’s top lane arrived at the 3U base.
3U’s bottom lane super soldier arrived at FTW’s base.
This was now a super soldier competition!
What the hell…

10, 9, 8, 7…
Both sides’ crystals lost health at the same time under the super soldiers’
artillery blasts.
“Cong Yi resurrected!”
“Bai Cai resurrected!”
The support players from both sides began to clean up the soldiers. As long
as they could kill the super soldiers and guard the crystal…
Victory!
There was a shocking cheer from the audience, and 3U’s fans all burst into
tears at this moment.
The game was over. Cong Yi leaned back in his chair, his back covered in a
layer of sweat.
Fortunately…
They’d won…
If they’d lost, he would be too ashamed to face Asleep.
The venue was full of jubilation. The ten contestants didn’t move, and it
was as though they hadn’t yet come out of the canyon.
Wei Xiao smiled lightly, “Damn, they’re really strong.”
Wei Xiao got up and shot Brother Cai a glance, “Let’s go.”
Brother Cai came back to his senses, “I…”
Wei Xiao: “What do you mean, you? Didn’t you have a good time
playing?”
It wasn’t just Brother Cabbage. The others from FTW were also stunned by
his question.
There was no haze in Wei Xiao’s eyes; they were still as bright as the sun,
“Winning or losing is very important, but enjoying the game is even more
important.”
Tang Chen, who was right in front of him, felt his heart leap.
Wei Xiao reached out a hand to Tang Chen. “Brother Tang, we can
definitely win first place in our group for the regular season.”
Losing a small game was nothing. Their regular season journey had only
just begun!
And in this game, FTW had shown everyone infinite hope.
Close wasn’t here.
Tang Chen hadn’t been on the court for long.
Their team hadn’t practiced together for long enough.
They hadn’t trained with this line-up.
But all of this didn’t matter. They had told everyone with absolute
strength––this was just the beginning.
The great king was waking up!
Tang Chen stood up and bumped fists with Wei Xiao. “Okay!”
First place in their regular season group, they were absolutely going to get
it!
Because 3U won the game, the camera cut to 3U.
Compared with how relaxed FTW was, 3U’s mood was heavier.
They’d won, but winning had been too difficult.
When faced with this FTW that had lost its leader, 3U had actually still
been pushed onto this dead end road.
They didn’t dare to imagine how terrible this team would become when
Close came back.
In the physiotherapy room, the little nurse was in a daze, “About that…”
It was over, it was over, it seemed that they’d lost the game!
Lu Feng had just finished his physiotherapy. After saying goodbye to the
medical staff, he dialed Wei Xiao’s cell phone.
At this moment, Wei Xiao was boasting backstage, “I’m not insisting, but
with Brother Tang’s space-time knight, if we go back and practice it a few
more times, even Y1 will need to kneel down and call us daddy…”
Brother Tang: “……”
Little Ning: “About that…”
Brother Xiao, that’s really a bit too exaggerated, right?
Wei Xiao still wanted to continue boasting, but his phone rang.
He glanced down at it, then cleared his throat and said, “You guys should
first reflect on why you’re all so strong. I’m going to take a call.”
Chen Feng had just come inside. He almost sprained a leg when he heard
this––reflect on what?!
Sure enough, with Little Lunatic Wei around, they couldn’t have any sort of
normal atmosphere!
Wei Xiao found a place with nobody around and couldn’t wait to pick up
the call, “Captain…” He missed him; he really missed him.
Lu Feng’s heart melted when he heard his soft voice. He originally already
wanted to coax him, but now his voice became even gentler, “You played
very well.”
Wei Xiao had just wanted to say: Of course! That last game was so
extraordinary that Laozi even wants to comfort Asleep and tell him not to
be discouraged. He should train hard with the storm thief so that Laozi can
turn around and hammer him to death later.
And then…
Wei Xiao’s ears trembled from Lu Feng’s voice, and he wanted to hear
more of it.
He spoke in an aggrieved tone, “We lost.”
Wei Xiao squeezed his eyes shut and cried, “Captain, I lost.”
In this instant, Lu Feng believed him. He couldn’t help tightening his

fingers around his cell phone, and his voice became even softer and gentler,
“It’s okay, it’s just a small game. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose.”
Wei Xiao continued his efforts. “I’m so sad…”
Lu Feng’s heart clenched, “Don’t feel sad, you did a good job.”
Wei Xiao couldn’t hold back anymore. “How well did I do?”
Wei Xiao, who knew that he’d exposed himself, stopped pretending. “I
don’t care! I lost, I’m sad. Captain, I won’t recover unless you give me a ten
thousand word love letter!”
The author has something to say: The captain is filled with heartache, but it
turns out that it wasn’t necessary hahahahahaha
xiin: i love the things that come out of WX’s mouth… ‘first reflect on why
you’re so strong’ hahaha
Ch129 - Mister Lu, if you don’t
sign in three seconds, we’ll be
increasing the interest!
A 10,000 word love letter was a bit difficult. Wei Xiao didn’t try to make
things hard for his boyfriend and said, “How about we play 10,000 games
of solo when you come back instead?”
After saying this, he remembered that when the two of them had first met
again, LU had bought 10,000 games with him as an accompanying player.
He was amused again. “Boss?”
Lu Feng could hear that his voice wasn’t faking anything and that his tone
really was bright. He was relieved. “No need.”
Wei Xiao was just planning to act up again.
Lu Feng: “Writing a love letter is better.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
He’d just been joking. He’d really never expected to win first prize.
“Really?”
“Mm.”
“10,000 words.”
“Sure.”
“For me?”
“If not you, then who?”
“…… Damn!”
Wei Xiao couldn’t hold on anymore. He licked his lips, “Captain, I take
these things very seriously. I’m really going to believe you!”
Glory’s number one little demon was actually quite sincere.
Wei Xiao’s heartbeat was chaotic, “Then, can I get an advance on it?”
“Hm?”
“Just read the start to me first.”
“……”
“Oh, right, don’t write it, and don’t type it. 10,000 words will make your
hands very tired. You can dictate it to me orally, and pay in installments. I
won’t even charge you interest!”
Dictation, installments, interest, Little Lunatic Wei, you’re really capable!
Lu Feng laughed briefly. “Little Xiao.”
Wei Xiao’s ears heated. “Yes.” His answer was very well-behaved.
Lu Feng suddenly lowered his voice, “Go back to the hotel early and review
the game. I’m hanging up now.”
His 10,000 word love letter started with a ‘go back to the hotel and review
the game’?!
However, this place really wasn’t a suitable place to remain at for a long
time. Considering that Lu Feng was also still in the hospital at this time,
Wei Xiao didn’t dare to pester him more. He just typed, “10,000 words!”
Wei Xiao grew more energetic. “Mister Lu, if you don’t sign in three
seconds, we’ll be increasing the interest!”
3, 2, 1.
Lu Feng replied, “Did it increase?”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
Had the captain not replied back to him deliberately and waited for the
interest to increase?
What was wrong with this debtor!
Too… it was too lovable!
Wei Xiao wasn’t willing to leave. He leaned against the wall and typed to
him.
For better or worse, he was a little more serious after hanging up. Wei Xiao
spoke about some serious matters, mainly focusing on the game.
He might be bratty, might be wild, might be sweet, but proper business

couldn’t be forgotten.
For the captain to call now, it meant that he must be worried. Wei Xiao
couldn’t bear to have him worry.
For this game between FTW and 3U, Wei Xiao had made enough
psychological preparations prior to the start of the game.
He’d stayed up late a few days ago and watched all the game videos for 3U
over the recent half a year, including several of their games from the winter
training camp.
The more he watched, the calmer he grew. The more he watched, the more
of an understanding emerged in his heart.
3U was undoubtedly a strong team this year, and their brilliant operations
during the winter training camp was enough to let them come out on top as
a first class team.
There was no need to discuss Asleep, who was an extremely skilled jungler.
Li Chun was a bit similar to Ning Zhehan. They were both very well
rounded mid-laners who could play well with both assassin mages and
fortress type defensive mages.
Little Ning hadn’t yet had time to train up a support type mid-lane hero,
while Li Chun already had a set. He could use both the zither warlock and
the medicine warlock, and he played them both very well.
Popsicle was a newcomer who’d just joined 3U this year. He was a

relatively stable top-lane player, and he was basically already integrated
into the team.
Yoyo was an old player from 3U. He wasn’t top-notch in all aspects, but he
was very well-suited for the current 3U’s jungler core team. He could
cooperate very well with Asleep, and was a rare ADC who performed
stably with very little resources.
In fact, the person who’d caught Wei Xiao’s attention the most was Cong
Yi.
Many people thought of Asleep when they saw 3U––Cong Yi was more
like a foil, a green leaf that supported Asleep.
But anyone who thought about it seriously for a while would understand
and see that Cong Yi wasn’t a foil, let alone a green leaf. He was the sniper
gun’s eight-fold scope, the oil that lubricated the engine, and the booster
fuel that ignited the rocket!
Without him, there wouldn’t be the current Asleep, and there wouldn’t be
the current 3U.
This man who hid himself in the back was the real driving force of 3U!
When looking at such a 3U, the predicted win rate in Wei Xiao’s heart was
30%.
For them to be able to win the first game, and force 3U to take out this
obviously treasured, long-cherished line-up in their last game, Wei Xiao
already felt that they’d really scored a bargain!
The storm thief, hey.
Asleep had played it pretty well.
He could give it a try too.
Taking someone else’s play style and making it so that they had no way
out––he might as well borrow and use TPT’s famous saying for once.
After chatting with Lu Feng for a long time, Lu Feng asked him, “You’re
really not sad because you lost the game?”
Acting spoiled and cute could be done continuously, but when it was time
to be serious…
Wei Xiao: “What’s there to be sad about, I’m too happy about how strong
3U is.”
Lu Feng: “?”
Wei Xiao asked him back, “Captain, why does our FTW want to win the
world championship?”
Sure enough, Wei Xiao was able to poke straight at his heart every time,
“It’s for the whole China competition zone, right?”
Did Close want a world championship?
Did FTW want a world championship?
It was the whole China competition zone that wanted a world

championship!
Winning this world championship wasn’t just for FTW. It was also to prove
to the world that the China competition zone wasn’t weak!
The countless players in China, the millions of fans in the China

competition zone, the three year slump that the China competition zone had
gone through…
All of this needed a demonstration!
They wanted to use the world cup to tell all their fans, the hundreds of
millions of players, and the whole world: Glory belongs to us!
So…
Wei Xiao was very happy seeing that 3U was very strong.
What he wanted wasn’t just FTW to become strong on their own. He

wanted the whole China competition zone to rise up!
Only such a championship had weight and meaning.
Only a China competition zone like this would be able to change its vitality!
Lu Feng lowered his eyelashes, his fingers very gentle as he typed, “Yes.”
He and Wei Xiao were separated by tens of thousands of kilometers, but

when he looked up, it was as though he could see––
The ten o’clock morning sunshine, the brilliant sun that lit up the whole
world.
This conversation lasted for more than ten minutes. It was time for Wei
Xiao to go back.
He put away his cell phone and went back, but when he passed by the
bathroom, he turned to go in.
They would have to travel for more than half an hour by car. It was better to
go to the toilet first.
The hall was quite big, and the backstage area was divided into zones.
When they were waiting for the game, they and 3U were both in the public
area, so they’d been interviewed together.
Only after the previous game was over would they go to their lounges, and
they’d be separated because the passageways were different.
FTW and 3U were the second game of the evening and were followed by
another game.
It seemed to be RR against HU.
Needless to say, RR was an ‘old enemy team’, and they’d played so many
training matches together that they wanted to vomit.
HU was in Group B, and Wei Xiao didn’t know much about them. FTW
hadn’t had a training match with them.
However, this club had been in the limelight recently for buying a star
player from the European division. The whole team had changed blood, and
even the coaching team had been reorganized. Their momentum was fierce.
As soon as Wei Xiao arrived at the bathroom, he heard the sound of activity
inside.
He didn’t think too much of it, just treating it as RR or HU who’d come

over.
Then, he heard the dispute.

“What? Tang Chen’s always been crappy. He was Yuan Ze’s substitute for
two years, but wasn’t he kicked away after the fact?”
“Having a championship ring is really great. A substitute for the Team of

Gods, even a dog can do it.”
“Come on, if Tang Chen had even a bit of skill, would your FTW be this
crappy?”
“How funny. A former world champion losing to a low-end team like 3U,
yet you don’t feel embarrassed talking back.”
“If I were you, I would’ve gone home to raise pigs a long time ago. Why
stay here to make a fool of yourselves.”
“Oh, your Close has already gone to North America to raise…”
“You f*cking…”
Yue Wenle rushed over.
Wei Xiao reacted quickly and came up to stop Yue Wenle.
The backstage bathroom wasn’t big. There were only three wash basins, but
four people were standing there.
On one side were faces of strangers in HU team uniforms, and on the other
side were Yue Wenle and Ning Zhehan.
It was unknown how long Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle had been there, but
at this time, one of their faces was red, and the other’s was pale with fright.
Obviously, they’d already lost their heads.
The person speaking on the other side was a tall man with short hair, thick
eyebrows, and thin eyes. His nose was very high, and his facial features
were very three-dimensional, but his temperament was sharp and mean.
When the two people from HU saw Wei Xiao, they didn’t take him
seriously and continued to provoke them, “What, not letting us talk about
how crappy you are?”
“The crappiest player amongst you is Close. Just look at the Team of Gods.
Other than him, who else from the team isn’t doing extremely well for
themselves right now.”
“In my opinion, he didn’t go to North America to cure his shoulder, but to

find his next home.”
Yue Wenle was going crazy, “Shut the hell up!”
The man smiled and said, “What, do you even want to hit me?”
Yue Wenle: “You…”
The man had no fear. “Hit me, hey, if you want to be banned from the
game, then hit me.”
The backstage area was filled with surveillance cameras. Anyone who
dared to move a finger would be caught.
Wei Xiao might look thin normally, but his arms were very strong. He
stopped Yue Wenle steadily and kept him from acting impulsively.
The man looked at Wei Xiao. “You’re Quiet?”
Wei Xiao looked at him coldly. “No.”
The man raised his eyebrows.
Wei Xiao: “I’m your daddy.”
xiin: you don’t want this son, little lunatic~

Ch130 - I’m afraid of owing you so
much that I’ll never pay it back in
this lifetime.
These words choked the man on the other side. His face sank, “Brat…”
Wei Xiao retorted easily, “What, do you want to hit your daddy?”
The man: “……”
Wei Xiao continued, “Fight, hey, if you want to be banned from the game,
then fight.”
The sentences were almost the same, but the meaning was totally different.
That person from HU had been deliberately provocative, trying to disgust

them as much as possible; Wei Xiao on the other hand was like a hammer to
the face that let him vent out his anger!
Yue Wenle calmed down and no longer needed Wei Xiao to hold him back.
The other side had been rebuffed right to his face and was extremely
unhappy. He wanted to continue provoking them, “You guys…”
Wei Xiao interrupted him directly, not giving him a chance to speak:
“Stop talking trash. You didn’t even know how to write the word ‘Glory’
when your Uncle Tang started playing games.”
“Having a championship ring really is quite amazing. FTW has five rings.
What about HU?”
“Oh, you don’t even have a single one. That’s normal, and there won’t be
one for you guys in the future.”
“There’s no need for us to go back and raise pigs. Isn’t there one right in
front of us?”
He had a good memory. He took HU’s provocative words and tossed them
back at them word by word.
When it came to stabbing others, anyone who attempted it on Wei Xiao

really hadn’t thought it through.
The people from HU’s expressions grew increasingly ugly. Wei Xiao
suddenly leaned in close, his pair of dark eyes staring at the other party,
giving off pressure that was as sharp as a blade of ice, condensed and sharp.
“Don’t bring up Close.”
The man sneered and thought that he’d caught Wei Xiao’s weakness,
“What, Close…”
“If you say another sentence,” Wei Xiao’s voice was very light, but it held a
hint of madness that nothing could stop, “I’ll make sure you can’t touch
Glory again in this lifetime.”
The man’s breath caught in his throat, blocking his voice and making it so
that he couldn’t speak.
He didn’t dare to talk.
He could see a desperate ferocity in Wei Xiao’s eyes––
If you scold Close again, I’ll maim you even if it means I’ll be banned from
the game.
When they returned to the lounge, Chen Feng could tell that the atmosphere
between the three little ones wasn’t quite right.
“What’s the matter?”

Yue Wenle remained silent, and Ning Zhehan didn’t dare to make a sound,
sneaking glances at Wei Xiao secretly.
Chen Feng looked at Wei Xiao, “Hm?”
Wei Xiao’s expression was heavy. “We encountered some dung beetles.”
Brother Cai understood a little. “F*ck, you guys didn’t have a conflict with
anyone, did you?”
This was right under the watchful eyes of the organizers. If they’d made a
move here, FTW would be done for this season.
Yue Wenle spoke in a low voice, “No.”
He was very ashamed. If Wei Xiao hadn’t arrived in time, he might have…
But when he thought of how the man had scolded Tang Chen, Yue Wenle’s
fists clenched––
Damn it!
One person’s achievements that had been obtained over many years of hard
work had been turned worthless in the mouths of those dogs.
Wei Xiao turned to ask Chen Feng, “Coach, which week is our match with
HU?”
Chen Feng: “HU?” He understood it now, too, “You guys ran into them?”
Little Ning nodded and said in a low voice, “In the bathroom…”
He spoke about it vaguely, not daring to mention Tang Chen’s name.
Although he didn’t mention it, Tang Chen could still guess at it vaguely.
However, instead of feeling sad, he felt warm in his heart.
This bunch of brats felt heartache for him.
Chen Feng’s expression turned cold. He stared at Yue Wenle, “What, if Wei
Xiao hadn’t gone over, would you have wanted to hit those dogs?”
Chen Feng bonked him on the head. “When will you f*cking change this
temperament of yours.”
Yue Wenle let him hit and curse at will, and was also quick to acknowledge
his wrongs, “I’m sorry.”
If it had to be said that he was angry, then he really was angry. But if it had
to be said that it was real anger, then that would be false.
This brat Yue Wenle was normally like a little suckling dog, but once he
was stabbed by someone, he would instantly become rabid, willing to lose
800 troops in order to kill 1000!
But he really was very obedient when he was home, especially in front of
Chen Feng. He never contradicted what the coach said, and always did as
he was told. He was particularly respectful towards his ‘elders’.
Chen Feng could recite the schedule from memory, “The last game next
week is between us and HU.”
When his voice dropped, the three little ones’ eyes lit up.
Ning Zhehan: “Blow them up!”
Yue Wenle: “A shutout!”
Chen Feng poured cold water on them. “HU isn’t weak this year.”
This sentence from Chen Feng could be said to have landed accurately with
one hit; there was a huge surprise with the last game of the day.
In the game between RR and HU, the audience were all in favor of RR
winning.
RR had been very flashy in the winter training camp. Their momentum was
soaring, and especially for their mid-laner Moonlit – he’d played so well
that the shrill screams from his fans came one after another.
In this game, the RR fans accounted for more than half the venue. They all
cheered for Moonlit, for Money, and the light signs were dazzling.
HU, on the other hand, had very few fans. It seemed that the small group of
people sitting there were all relatives and friends, like a boat surrounded by
the sea. It looked a little pitiful when the camera swept over.
The more fans a team had, the more haters they had. RR’s anti-fans were
also enough to cover the earth and skies.
Fans yelled that the game was a sure win, that they’d shut out the other side,
and that RR’s position as number one in their group was stable.
The anti-fans took the opposite tone, “It’ll be funny when they mess up.
Sitting around and waiting for the R dogs to cry bitterly.”
And then…
They really did end up f*cking poisoned by the anti-fans.
Wei Xiao and the others had just returned to the hotel when Brother Cai
exclaimed, “RR lost.”
The others all looked over at the same time.
Bai Cai showed them the score: “2:0…”
Not only had they lost, RR had actually been shutout by HU!
Yue Wenle’s eyebrows twisted together, and Ning Zhehan’s eyes opened
wide. Wei Xiao looked at the length of the game. “A sudden death game?”
The match time for the second game was too short. Had RR lost in less than
40 minutes?
Chen Feng glanced at it, then knocked on the table. “Don’t worry about
others. Let’s first take a look at our own 2:1.”
Group A was really miserable that night.
First, FTW had lost to 3U. Then, RR had lost to HU.
They’d originally thought that FTW’s place as number one in their group
would be snatched away by RR, but who could’ve known…
FTW was still first, and RR had dropped down to third place due to their
low net score.
The internet blew up, and a whole group of people scolded and complained,
saying that Moonlit was crappy, cursing Money for being bad, and even
suspected that RR was purposely messing with their guessing currency bets
(a type of currency in the game).
The FTW side didn’t pay attention to any of this. They reviewed the game
for five hours, picking over all three games from the start to the end.
In the first game, FTW had won against 3U. Their overall game rhythm was
alright, and there weren’t many problems.
FTW lost to 3U in the second match. On one hand, it was due to Tang
Chen’s physical discomfort, but on the other hand, Yue Wenle had also been
ganked until he exploded. What’s more, Asleep’s berserker thief was really
worth a ban spot.
Not only was the third game the longest in terms of play time, it was also
the game they reviewed the longest.
Tang Chen’s space-time knight, Wei Xiao’s shadow thief, Asleep’s storm
thief, Li Chun’s zither warlock…
There were so many highlights in this match, and it was worth going over
again and again to learn from it.
If the competition was a classroom lesson, then the game replay review was
homework.
If they listened carefully during their class, then finished their homework
after class, their progress would be rapid.
After the game replay review, everyone went to bed early.
Wei Xiao looked at the time and couldn’t help calling Lu Feng.
Lu Feng was in the midst of watching L&P’s game. He got up to leave the
arena and went to find a quiet place. “Still not sleeping?”
Wei Xiao’s voice was lazy and languid, “Love letter.”
Lu Feng lowered his voice, “When I get back…”
Wei Xiao: “No way, I want to hear it now.”
Lu Feng coaxed him, “Be good, rest early.”
Wei Xiao threatened him, “Then I’m going to raise the interest!”
Wei Xiao’s eyelids were fighting against him. “Captain, are you going to be
so far in debt you don’t worry about it anymore…”
Lu Feng could hear that he was sleepy. His voice grew softer, “I’ll still
worry about it.”
Wei Xiao closed his eyes, his mouth curving up, “Hmm?”
Lu Feng gently sent him into dreamland, “I’m afraid of owing you so much
that I’ll never pay it back in this lifetime.”
Wei Xiao smiled. His heart felt sweeter than honey: Then we’ll be together
in the next life, the next next life, the next next next life…
FTW returned to S City the next day.
They’d only been gone for a day or two, but there was an inexplicable sense
of comfort when they returned back to the base.
Soybean’s ears had been perked up a long time ago. It came flying over as
soon as they got out of the car.
Ever since the husky moved to the base, its living area had become larger
and better. It also ate better, and it had grown stronger and healthier. Its
black fur floated in the wind, so sleek that it could nearly be featured in a
shampoo advertisement!
Brother Soy ran all the way over, pausing briefly just before it reached the
crowd.
Its doggy head probed in all four directions. “Rao?” Where’s my male god!
Wei Xiao reached out and caught it. “You doggy thing!” You don’t have
Laozi in your heart anymore.
Soybean rubbed against him in a perfunctory manner, then continued to

look around.
Wei Xiao’s heart was more than a little sour, “Whose son are you,
exactly?!”
Oh, if it was his son, then it was also the captain’s son. Brother Soy really
was a good dog with the right thoughts.
It was a relatively easy week for FTW that week. There was a game the day
after tomorrow, but it wasn’t challenging, and they won it quite easily.
When Monday came around, the new group rankings were announced.
In Group A, FTW was first place, and RR had climbed back up to second
place.
In Group B, 3U was first place, and the second place was very surprising. It
actually wasn’t TPT, and was HU instead.
Yue Wenle was unhappy when he saw this team. He bit down on his potato
chips with a loud crunch.
Tang Chen had always been steady. His tone was cheerful as he said, “HU
is very powerful this year, hey.”
Little Ning thought about how they’d insulted Brother Tang and felt
uncomfortable, “But they have bad characters!”
Tang Chen knew that they were still holding a grudge. He rubbed their
heads and said, “Alright.”
He then turned his head to ask Chen Feng, “Should we make an

appointment for a training match with HU?”
Chen Feng pondered it for a while.
Wei Xiao: “We’ll fight them directly next week.”
Chen Feng shot him a look, “You’re following them and losing your head.”
Wei Xiao didn’t try to explain.
He’d always felt that there was something wrong with the HU team, but he
didn’t have any concrete evidence, and it wasn’t good to say more about it,
but his feelings had always been accurate.
Wei Xiao had watched the game where RR lost to them before.
Had RR’s level plummeted overnight?
Was HU really strong enough to abuse RR?

No way. After taking a closer look at the second round, it was more like
Moonlit had lost his head.
How was that anything like playing a game? It was clearly like something
was wrong.
In the first game, Moonlit had taken the immortal warlock. This was the
hero he was famous for, and he used it very well. It was the talent he’d used
to hammer Xie He during the winter training camp.
However, the immortal warlock in this game had been disorderly and
chaotic.
It wanted to show its strength, and it wanted to play out the thousand layers
of clouds.
The thousand layers of clouds was an extreme level operation for the
immortal warlock. It was similar to the shadow thief’s nine light arcs and
was a series of linked up moves that was difficult to control.
Just like how only a few people in the whole of Glory could brush out nine
light arcs, very few of the players who used the immortal warlock could use
the thousand layers of clouds.
This kind of continuous move was too dependent on one’s state. If it could
be used, it would destroy the sky and the earth, but once a player insisted on
brushing it out, it would break the rhythm.
In the first game, Moonlit tripped up when it came to this.
In the second game, HU still didn’t ban the immortal warlock. It was clear
that they had left it out for Moonlit to play with.
Moonlit had also lost his rationality and snatched up the immortal warlock
with the first pick position. As a result…
2:0. They’d lost in a mess.

In recent days, FTW hadn’t had training matches with RR, and he didn’t
know how that kid Moonlit was doing.
Wei Xiao took out his cell phone and was just about to go to RR’s official
blog to check up on their latest news.
Before he could find RR’s official blog, his attention was first caught by
thousands of @s.
Wei Xiao clicked them open and saw the content: HU.Han Gu
@FTW.Quiet, Can you really brush out nine light arcs?
The author has something to say: Your daddy Wei: Lie flat and wait.
Ch131 - Had they asked the One
Lamp Grandmaster’s sword?
These words were filled with malicious intent.
Should he answer or not after getting tagged like this?
What if he ignored it? They were all professional players and would be
playing together in the next game. It seemed too cowardly to ignore it.
What if he paid attention to it? Then how should he answer?
Should he say that he could do it, or that he couldn’t?
No matter what he did, there were still pits up ahead.
Wei Xiao was now very popular, and the number of forwards on the
message continued to soar. Fans and haters let loose together, dancing about
chaotically.
The fans: “To tell you the truth, it’s FTW’s inherited shadow thief. Nine
light arcs can be brushed out at any time.”
The haters: “It’s just like a blind cat touching a mouse. If you really want
him to brush it out, he won’t be able to do it.”
Fans: “My grandmaster was just being modest. Only fools would believe
him.”
Haters: “Haha, then why didn’t you see him use it in the game against 3U?”
Fans: “Was it necessary? Most of the damage from nine light arcs in 5v5 is
just spillover damage.”
Haters: “If he can’t do it, then he can’t do it. You guys are really quick at
finding excuses.”
Wei Xiao casually browsed through it and saw these remarks that were
obviously trying to stir things up.
Just based on that little melon head of his, how could he not be able to tell?
He’d long felt that the way HU did things wasn’t normal, but he hadn’t
expected them to be so dirty.
This Weibo post smashed right into Wei Xiao’s face, obviously confirming
that Wei Xiao was unfamiliar with brushing out nine light arcs.
First came the provocation, then the mockery, then they mobilized the fans’
mood. It was simply like stringing Wei Xiao up and roasting him over the
fire.
Once Wei Xiao let it get to him, things would get bad.
When the two sides played against each other, should Wei Xiao use the
shadow thief or not?
If he used the shadow thief, should he brush out the nine light arcs or not?
How would Wei Xiao even be able to play if he took this mindset into the
battlefield?
It was no wonder that Moonlit insisted on showing off his thousand layers
of clouds. There was an 80% chance that he’d fallen into HU’s shameless
‘psychological’ trap.
Wei Xiao sucked at a lollipop and casually forwarded the Weibo post––
Nine light arcs? I said it a long time ago, I can’t do it with my eyes open,
but it’s possible with my eyes closed. What about you? @HU.Han Gu.
He skillfully tossed the question back to HU.

If they wanted to mess with people’s mentality, they should first check and
see if they have that level of influence.
Did they think that he was a simple-and-easy-to-trick little friend like Little
Moon-moon?
The fans woke up instantly, asking HU one after another, “Oh yeah, why
are you focusing on other people’s nine light arcs? Can your team’s jungler
brush them out?”
“I had a feeling that there was something weird with these words. It turned
out that there’s something behind it!”
“F*ck, this fellow was doing it on purpose, is he messing with my God Q?”
The haters loved fishing in troubled waters. “If your God Q can casually
brush out nine light arcs, would he even be scared of people messing with
him?”
Wei Xiao was too lazy to continue reading. He sent Moonlit a Wechat
message.
At this time, his phone rang. The word ‘Money’ was very prominent on the
screen.
Wei Xiao answered the phone, “Morning, Captain Mo.”
Eleven o’clock in the morning. It was actually quite early.
Money: “I saw your Weibo. Don’t fall for it.”
Wei Xiao had candy in his mouth, and his words were vague, “Mm…”
Money misunderstood him and thought that he’d already taken it to heart.
He spoke hurriedly, “Ignore his trash talk. When the time comes, put the
shadow thief into the ban position directly.”
That way, he couldn’t use it even if he wanted to, and there wouldn’t be any
confusion about brushing out eight or nine light arcs.
Money thought of his own little cub and was distressed, “Listen to big
brother, don’t pay attention to his tone. It’s all meaningless, nine light arcs
or thousand layers of clouds? So what if you can brush them out? Winning
the game is the real hard truth.”
Wei Xiao pulled out the lollipop and spoke clearly, “So you’re saying that
Little Moon-moon is being a crybaby?”
Money: “……”
Wei Xiao tsked, “That group of dogs are purposely looking for soft
persimmons to pinch.”
Money understood what he was saying, but he also didn’t quite seem to get
it.
The dogs were HU, but who were the soft persimmons?
Moonlit? You, Wei Xiao?
If these words were made public, the China Glory circle would collectively
laugh their asses off for three days.
The spearhead Moon and rear guard Wei were really soft!
Money could tell that he was alright. He was reassured, “As long as you
didn’t fall into the trap, then it’s fine. I’ll coax Moon-moon.”
The meaning behind his words weren’t intentional, but the listener took it to
heart. Wei Xiao grew unhappy––he also had a captain who could coax him.
His captain was even better at coaxing than Money, but his captain wasn’t
by his side…
But Money just had to poke the sore spot in his heart, “Old Lu isn’t in
China, so I’d better look out for you guys in his stead.”
Wei Xiao had originally already been unhappy that Lu Feng was far away
in North America, and now his heart was even more sour, with an additional
dose of jealousy. “Captain Mo, you really have a good relationship with my
captain, hey.”
Speaking of which, other people would call Lu Feng ‘Close’. Only Mo Hui
often called him ‘Old Lu’.
Money: “Well… cough… I’ve known him for a relatively long time.”
Wei Xiao’s voice was cool, “How long.”
Mo Hui could sense a little something. “What, are you jealous?”
Mo Hui: “You brat, you’re quite protective.”
Wei Xiao thought to himself: Like hell am I being protective, that’s my

boyfriend!
Unfortunately, he couldn’t say it directly.
Mo Hui continued, “In short, it’s an old friendship. Don’t worry, big brother
won’t mess with you.”
Wei Xiao didn’t want to accept it. “How old of a friendship can it be? My
captain’s only been in the industry for four or five years.”
Mo Hui cleared his throat.
Wei Xiao was very sharp. “Could it be that the two of you knew each other
from before?”
Mo Hui touched his nose. “We attended the same high school…”
Wei Xiao: “!”

Mo Hui added quickly, “Don’t tell others about it, your captain might beat
me to death.”
Wei Xiao was really curious. “Which high school?”
Money’s family background was a mystery, and all everyone knew was that
his parents were very rich. He spent money like water, and he’d come to
play e-sports in order to chase his dreams. It was a very, very, very pure
reason; it was so pure that it made even the money-obsessed Brother Cai
envy his dream.
Mo Hui changed the topic, “It’s great that you didn’t take the bait. I’m
hanging up now.”
Wei Xiao wanted to ask more, but the other side of the line was already
sending out a busy tone.
The captain’s high school?
The captain when he was still studying at school?
The captain before he’d entered Glory?
Wei Xiao’s heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat’s paws. He was
incredibly curious!
Of course, he wouldn’t go and ask about it rashly. Even if they were lovers,
there should still be some private affairs that shouldn’t be pried into.
Wei Xiao wasn’t in a hurry. The days were long, and he would eventually
know everything about the captain.
In view of Money’s warm-heartedness, Wei Xiao decided to reciprocate and

help him comfort Little Moonlit.
Wei Xiao sent Moonlit a message, “Solo?”
It was like this word of his was a magic word. It was as tempting and
fascinating as a meaty bone to some specific people.
For example, Asleep. For example, Moonlit.
Oh, Eurostar wouldn’t come unless his captain ordered him to.
Moonlit replied very quickly, “Come on.”
Wei Xiao: “You don’t mind if I open up a live broadcast, right?”
Wei Xiao said languidly, “Take some pity on me, my captain isn’t here. I
wish I could just live stream sleeping.”
Moonlit hated live broadcasting the most, but he felt pity in his heart when
he heard these words. “Are you helping your captain make up his live
broadcast time?”
He hadn’t expected that Close, as the boss, would also have strict
requirements for his live broadcast time quotas and would need Quiet to
help him with his broadcast time after leaving to cure his injury.
Wei Xiao: “That’s not it.” How could the captain be willing to let him waste
his time on this?
Moonlit: “?”
Wei Xiao: “The captain isn’t here. It’s too boring, so I want to live
broadcast sleeping for him to watch.”
Moonlit: “……………………”
Wei Xiao felt a little more comfortable now. Who told your captain to
stimulate me? This was called a Wei-style rebound, it was super steady.
A group of fans swarmed in as soon as Wei Xiao opened up the live

broadcast studio.
“God Q! Are you going to show off your nine light arcs?”
“Wow, are you so hardcore? As soon as someone provokes you, you’ll
come up to slap them in the face right after?”
“Hurry, hurry, hurry, I love watching nine light arcs the most!”
This time, it wasn’t Wei Xiao, the digitally handicapped. He’d actively
shared the live broadcast link on his Weibo.
The crowd of melon seed eating onlookers came in at full speed, and the
number of watchers soared.
Without mentioning anything else, Brother Xiao’s ability to do business

was really very strong. He’d only opened up his live broadcast a few times
in the months after entering the industry, but it was enough to attract the
attention of the live broadcast platform’s executives. They were already
thinking about how to renew their contract with FTW and keep these two
traffic explosion suppliers.
One Close was explosive enough, but now a Quiet had popped out, too.
And there was also the lucky star Bai Cai.
FTW’s new base was really filled with ‘financial luck’!
Just…
Whether or not they could win the championship was unknown.
Wei Xiao typed in the game room, “What are you using?”
Moonlit: “Anything’s fine.”
Wei Xiao: “The immortal warlock, then.”
Wei Xiao: “Come on, big brother wants to see you fly.”
Moonlit: “Shut up.”

There were RR fans on the scrolling comments. They expressed unhappily,
“Why drop stones on the man who has fallen into a well? My Moonlit’s
already very sad, okay?”
“The grandmaster’s not being very nice, hey. Aren’t these words just like
rubbing salt on a wound?”
“Wuwuwu, Moon-moon, don’t cry, mama loves you.”
The FTW fans grew unhappy, too. “This is Quiet’s live broadcast room. If
you don’t want to watch it, then get the hell out.”
“It’s clear that the players are good friends. What are these stupid fans
doing trying to stir things up?”
The room managers showed up and began to clear out the negative
comments.
Wei Xiao saw them, but there was no need to reply.
Taking practical action was much more direct and effective than saying
10,000 words.
Whether it was sprinkling salt a wound or bouncing back up was something

they’d all know after watching.
It was a custom singles game room, and the game started very quickly.
Moonlit took the immortal warlock, and Wei Xiao took the immortal thief.
There were still people trying to stir things up in the scrolling comments, “I
thought he was going to brush out nine light arcs.”
“It can’t be that Quiet really can’t do it, right…”
“To tell you the truth, although that HU team doesn’t act human at all, the
sore spots they poke really hurt.”
“Moonlit’s immortal warlock… really isn’t that stable.”

Wei Xiao’s lips hooked up when he noticed this scrolling comment.
Wasn’t that stable?
Ha-ha.
Wei Xiao rushed at the immortal warlock, using the second part of his
movement skill to slam into him.
Moonlit was startled and quickly retreated to avoid his basic attack.
Wei Xiao suppressed his soldier lines and continued looking for chances to
harass him.
These two were old rivals and soon became immersed in the game.
In fact, Wei Xiao seldom used thieves when he soloed with people,
especially when he was targeting a specific talent. Most of the time, he
would use the same talent as his opponent because it was more effective
that way.
However, when faced with Moonlit’s immortal warlock, Wei Xiao couldn’t
use the immortal warlock.
It was okay for him to use the immortal warlock to abuse Little Ning, but it
wasn’t enough if he wanted to stimulate Moonlit.
Moonlit had been very depressed over these recent days.
He was a straightforward, serious, and persistent person.
This wasn’t a bad thing for a professional player: conscientiousness meant

diligence, and persistence meant that he didn’t admit defeat.
These things combined with sufficient talent meant that it would be difficult
for Moonlit not to perform exceptionally well.
Unfortunately, this kind of character also had its defects.

It was more likely to break than bend. Wasn’t this why he’d been
successfully targeted by that nest of bedbugs that was HU?
The same provocation and ridicule landed painlessly when it hit Wei Xiao’s
body, but it hurt like a knife was stabbing into his heart and lungs when it
came to Moonlit.
Because FTW had never arranged a training match with HU, they were only
able to shout provocation over Weibo.
RR, who hadn’t known what was going on, had had a training match with
HU, and that was when Moonlit had fallen into their schemes.
The immortal warlock, the talent that Moonlit was most confident with.
When it came to thousand layers of clouds, he could brush out a peak level
combo.
But HU’s provocation and the fans’ expectations became an immeasurable

burden that pressed down on him, affecting his state.
Losing a game didn’t mean anything to RR. The most hateful thing was that
HU wanted to ruin Moonlit.
A peak level player had fallen to his knees with the thing he was most
confident with. He’d lost to his own impulsiveness.
What kind of huge blow was this?
Especially when it came to someone with Moonlit’s straightforward

personality. What if he didn’t dare to brush out the thousand layers of
clouds ever again? Wouldn’t this be a great loss to the Glory circle!?
During those 500 rounds of solo back then, it was Wei Xiao who’d
personally trained up Moonlit’s immortal warlock.
If they wanted to destroy Moonlit’s thousand layers of clouds.
Had they asked the One Lamp Grandmaster’s sword for permission?
xiin: i love the way WX really looks out for the people he’s trained up~ his
huge heart is pure gold.
Ch132 - Captain, I got bullied!
Wei Xiao was very good at stimulating players’ emotions, especially when
it came to these hard-headed nails like Moonlit. Hard-headed nails was
actually an achievement title that Brother Cai had given them because they
were too willing to make appointments with the grandmaster and willing to
take anything. The representatives with this title didn’t need to be listed in
detail; they’d already become pillars of China’s Glory circle.
Eurostar waved his arms and shouted loudly, “I’m not one of them!”
Fu Li pushed his glasses up, “You are.”
Eurostar: “… I am QAQ.”
At first, the scrolling comments were still filled with gossip. Later on, the
watchers became completely immersed in the canyon.
“The immortal thief is so handsome. Why is it that everything looks so

special when Quiet plays it?”
“Yes, yes, my sage-like immortal thief has the aura of a bandit when he
plays it.”
“But it’s so handsome!”
“Moonlit’s immortal warlock is handsome, too. After level six, he really

can fly whenever he wants to.”
“One immortal thief, one immortal warlock. I’m sorry, fellow sisters, but
I’m shipping something once again!”
“God Q is a real man. The red flag at home is flying strong while the
colored flags are fluttering around outside.”
“Red flag at home?”
“Brother Cai.”
“The twin junglers sisters are online and ready to make you go into
seclusion, got it?”
Wei Xiao had good looks, he played well, and his personality was also
approachable. It was impossible for there to only be a small number of girls
engaging in CPs containing him.
In fact, when it came to the room managers, it was better to watch little
sisters engage in shipping CPs than watch the haters cursing and raging.
In any case, no matter how ‘real’ they made it sound, it was all false.
15 minutes into the game, Wei Xiao stopped playing around. His attitude
grew very serious.
Because Moonlit had awakened.
At the beginning, Moonlit had still been immersed in his gloom and didn’t
dare to brush out a thousand layers of clouds. Now, he’d been stimulated by
the immortal thief and had recovered his sharpness. Once his cooldowns
were up, he’d definitely fly up to heaven!
Wei Xiao’s ‘coaxing’ technique was particularly unique. He wouldn’t use

any positive words, and he wouldn’t soften his tone or use gentle words.
He’d first hammer the other party’s head until it was broken and bleeding
before anything else.
However, this worked wonders for Moonlit.
After all, he was someone who’d come through mountains of blades and
oceans of fires. The thing he feared the least was a beating from the
grandmaster.
Wei Xiao was very serious, and his suppression when he was focused was
extremely terrifying.
The immortal thief was a relatively weak talent in the early stages, but he
still played it with great momentum.
His suppression spread throughout the valley, forcing Moonlit to put all his
body and mind on the match.
Controlling the soldier lines, snatching up lane soldiers, positioning,

avoiding skills, and figuring out what Wei Xiao intended to do next.
If he was even a little careless, the wolf in front of him would tear out his
throat.
The sense of urgency was too strong!
Everyone who went up against Wei Xiao would have one phrase activated
in their minds––go all out!
This was also why so many people would lose themselves in soloing with
the grandmaster.
Those who entered the professional circle were all extremely confident in
their own skills.
Of these confident players who had the skills and techniques, who wouldn’t
want to show off? Who wouldn’t want to play to the limit? Who wouldn’t
want to stimulate their full strength?
Wei Xiao was able to give them this level of stimulation.
The blood in their entire bodies was ignited with passion, and their entire
person seemed to be dragged into the canyon. The hands that controlled the
character merged into one, and their minds were only filled with thoughts
about talent skills, strategy, and thinking about how to kill the other party
and win the game!
In the recent week, Moonlit had always been clumsy and preoccupied when
he played in training matches.
Nobody in RR blamed him, and the captain was even trying everything he
could to coax him. Even the team counselor had given him advice several
times.
Intellectually, Moonlit knew that he should never have been so stupid.
HU had bad intentions, and they’d been laying out a trap for him from the
very start. It was bad enough that he’d jumped in, but he was even foolish
enough to continue to be affected by it.
He was really too useless.
They’d lost the game. Nobody in RR had said anything about it to him, but
Moonlit couldn’t get over it in his heart.
He wasn’t someone who was easily defeated. He’d forced himself to take
the immortal warlock in the training match, and forced himself not to think
about the thousand layers of clouds.
But it didn’t work.
It was like a Pandora’s box that had been opened up. If you faced it directly,
you would be bewitched, but if you didn’t look at it, you would be
distracted and uneasy.
Thinking about it was the wrong thing to do.
But he couldn’t help thinking of it.
Should he give up the immortal warlock?
Absolutely impossible!
Face the thousand layers of clouds?
How exactly should he face it…
Nobody in RR could help Moonlit find the answer, and Moonlit couldn’t
find it on his own.
When he saw Wei Xiao’s “Solo?”, Moonlit’s heart had beat violently in his
chest.
And Wei Xiao had also lived up to his expectations. He’d helped him break
the curse, helped him face himself directly!
The scrolling comments exploded, “Holy shit, who said that my Moon God
can’t brush out a thousand layers of clouds?”
“Oh my god, isn’t this just brushing it however he wants to?!”
“Did you guys understand how he did the start of that thousand layers of
clouds just now? How come I just saw whish, whish, whish, and then the
immortal warlock was standing on the clouds?”
“Seriously, if Moonlit has this level of skill, then why is it that when they
competed against HU…”
“It was probably his mentality…”
“F*ck, so HU secretly messed with Moon God?”
One solo game was enough for everyone to see things clearly.
The immortal thief played particularly well, and the immortal warlock had
really let loose.
10,000 swords fell from the sky, and a thousand layers of clouds flew up. It
seemed that the whole canyon was a scene from a xianxia movie. The two
characters dressed in immortal clothing fought fiercely against each other!
By the end of the game, the immortal warlock had already brushed out a
thousand layers of clouds countless times!
Moonlit was very immersed in the game and invited Wei Xiao to play
again.
Wei Xiao accompanied him to play three games, and Moonlit used the
immortal warlock every time while he went from the immortal thief to the
berserker thief to the blood thief.
He played however he liked, but every game forced Moonlit into desperate
situations, forcing him to perform and focus his entire body and mind on
the canyon!
Only in this way could he get rid of all distractions and put all his thoughts
on the immortal warlock.
When it came to ‘special techniques’ like these, sometimes it really needed

the player to mindlessly make it happen.
Before the fourth game. The Moonlit who’d completely lost his head to the
game said, “Start.”
Wei Xiao yawned, “Tired.”
Wei Xiao quit the room but didn’t turn off the live broadcast. Instead, he
opened up his Weibo and typed out a line in front of countless fans––
Your Moon God isn’t unable to brush out a thousand layers of clouds, but
his opponent really can’t.
Then, he composed another message––
@HU.Han Gu, keep working hard, I also want to brush out nine light arcs.
This counterattack was really damn cool.
Mess with his mentality? To hell with that!
These kinds of dirty methods and schemes wouldn’t work with Daddy Wei!
Wei Xiao’s live broadcast session could be described as hitting many birds
with one stone.
Not only had it stimulated Moonlit and helped him regain his self-
confidence, it had also told the netizens who was really behind these things
and sent a counterattack right back to HU.
They wanted to see people do ‘special techniques’?
Let’s see if you have that level of importance.
Why could Moonlit brush out a thousand layers of clouds at will when he
was playing with Wei Xiao?
Why couldn’t he do it when faced with HU?
Didn’t they find it embarrassing to say that his immortal warlock was
unstable?
Trash players should first reflect on why they themselves were so crappy!
With this, HU’s Weibo post had been rendered completely invalid.
They wanted to mess with Wei Xiao?
They’d really kicked a titanium plate!
Just when Wei Xiao was about to close his live broadcast, a certain rich
person came over on a ‘rocket’. 300 deep water tornadoes fell down in one
go, shooting Wei Xiao a present of 30,000 yuan on the spot.
The scrolling comments shouted crazily, “Holy shit, it’s Money!!!”
“Look at me, look at me, Captain Mo, do you lack a wife? The type who is
particularly good at spending money!”
“Ahhhh, is Captain Mo here to thank God Q?”
“For sure. Why would God Q live broadcast soloing with Moonlit? It’s
clearly to help Moonlit cheer up and bounce back!”
“Thank you, this is so sweet.”
“Wuwuwu, what’s going on with the Glory circle this year? How come each
and every CP is so easy to ship?”
Wei Xiao saw the deep water torpedoes that were still flying around and
quickly shut down the live broadcast room.
Money: “……”
Audience: “???”
When other streamers saw gifts, they’d only wish that they could continue
broadcasting forever. How come when it comes to you, you would be
scared into running away?
Are you treating money like dirt?!
Wei Xiao really had been scared into running off.
Money wasn’t inherently part of a human being, and having too much of it
was too much to worry about.
Mo sent him a message, “Thanks.”
Wei Xiao: “10,000 per game, 30,000 for three games. The goods are
delivered, and the bill is cleared.”
Money was amused, “You’re raising the price on the spot.”
Wasn’t it 200 per game when the grandmaster worked as an accompanying

player?
Wei Xiao: “I had zero fans in the past, but now I have three million fans.
This is already a discounted price.”
Money poked fun at him, “According to your algorithm, I’m the one at fault
for not giving you three million.”
Wei Xiao: “It’s good that you understand this in your heart.”
Money scolded him laughingly, “Brat.”
When Lu Feng woke up, Wei Xiao immediately went to him and acted
coquettish, “Captain, I got bullied.” He’d sent a voice message, his voice
pitiful and pathetic.
Lu Feng, who already knew the full story, “……”
The people who ‘bullied’ you have already been ridiculed across the whole
internet.
Wei Xiao buried himself in his quilt and spoke in a low voice, “Really, they
laughed at me for not being able to brush out nine light arcs. I feel so
aggrieved.”
He really sounded quite wronged, his voice soft from grievances.
Lu Feng was no longer in a hurry to go downstairs. He leaned against the

edge of the balcony, his long legs bending slightly, “Don’t be aggrieved.”
A smile bloomed on Wei Xiao’s face as soon as he heard his voice, but he
still wanted more, “I feel very aggrieved, who told you not to teach me
hand-in-hand.”
The corners of Lu Feng’s lips curved, “I’ll teach you when I get back.”
Wei Xiao loved it to death when Lu Feng used this kind of tone. He started
counting the days on his fingers, “There’s still more than a month left. I’ll
already be self-taught by the time you come back.”
Lu Feng: “Then I’ll teach you something else.”
Wei Xiao acted bratty even through his shyness, “Can you teach me
something outside of the game?”
Lu Feng held the phone with his other hand, “For example?”
Wei Xiao’s face was thoroughly red, his voice growing smaller and smaller,
“Captain…”
Lu Feng’s voice was low, “Are you going to sleep?”
Wei Xiao’s voice was like a small feather stroking over the tip of his heart,
“I want…”
The two of them had been separated for so long. Other than yearning and
missing, there was something else as well.
Wei Xiao was an uninhibited person, and he wasn’t one to exercise

tolerance after tasting sweetness.
After experiencing Lu Feng’s ‘remote guidance’ once, this brat had become
even more energetic.
What was the point in doing it on his own? But if it was with the captain’s
voice there too… mm…
After obtaining a little satisfaction, Wei Xiao slept very deeply. He only
woke up again when it was 11 o’clock the next day.
Wei Xiao looked at his cell phone, calculated the date, then asked Lu Feng,
“Are you having another check-up tomorrow?”
Lu Feng answered his question with a question, “Just woke up?”
Wei Xiao sent him a voice call as he got out of bed, “Let me know what the
results are after your check-up.”
Lu Feng accepted the call, “Mm.”
The physiotherapy had been in progress for nearly a month. There was a
check-up every week.
Wei Xiao kept in close contact with Lu Feng every day and counted the
days daily, remembering these things more clearly than anyone else.
He chatted idly with Lu Feng as he brushed his teeth, and by the time he
was basically done, it was almost 11:30AM.
Lu Feng bade him goodnight.
Wei Xiao blinked, then suddenly lowered his voice, “Are you going to
sleep?”
Wei Xiao smiled like a little fox, his tone filled with bad intentions, “In fact,
I can do it too…”
It definitely wouldn’t be as amazing as the captain, but… well… he could

also help the captain.
Lu Feng closed his eyes briefly, “No need.”
Wei Xiao stuck his mouth close to the microphone, “Really?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao hummed lightly.
Wei Xiao wasn’t in a hurry to go downstairs anymore. He sat back down on

the bed and said some inhuman things.
Lu Feng couldn’t listen on anymore, “I’m hanging up.”
Wei Xiao had managed to turn himself on, “Captain~”
Lu Feng sucked in a light breath.
Wei Xiao went in and set fire to his heart directly, “…… I’m hard.”
To be honest, flight tickets weren’t expensive, and flying back and forth
didn’t take that long, it was only 20 hours. If it wasn’t for the fact that he
feared causing a stir, Lu Feng really would fly back and do the little lunatic
on the spot.
The author has something to say: Cough……
xiin: LF, just get on the plane already… WX is going crazy without you~
Ch133 - Lu Feng: Do you want to
solo?
Wei Xiao didn’t go downstairs until half past 12.
Brother Cai disdained him. “Stayed up late again?”
Wei Xiao cleared his throat, “No.”
Brother Cai had already finished eating. He stared at him as he put slices of
watermelon on his plate one after another, “If you didn’t stay up all night,
why’d you get up so late?”
Wei Xiao’s hand paused. “I woke up quite early.”
Bai Cai: “Then why’d you only come down to eat now?”
Wei Xiao’s face heated, and he turned his head to snap at him, “None of
your business!”
After that, he slipped away guiltily with his plate.
Who’d triggered him so early in the morning? Oh wait, it was noon.
Wei Xiao had ‘played around’ while the sun was out and ate a little more
than usual.
He was also filled with energy during the training match in the afternoon.
After it ended, he left Lu Feng a message, “If we do it before a game in the
future, I can guarantee we’ll get 2:0.”
Lu Feng, who saw this message when he woke up, “……”
In the dark room where the sunlight was blocked out by the blackout
curtains, the man’s long, pale fingers rubbed at his brow: Wei Little Xiao
was really still very young.
At about ten o’clock in the evening, Chen Feng had just finished reviewing
the training match when Wei Xiao jumped up. “I’m going to the bathroom.”
Chen Feng glanced at his cell phone.
Wei Xiao stood up straight, his attitude bold.
Chen Feng waved his hand. “Go quickly.”
Ning Zhehan got up as well. “I also…”
Chen Feng stared at him. “Are you a primary school student? Do you need
to go to the toilet together?”
Chen Feng stopped him. “What happened with your ice mage in the game
against 3U just now?”
Ning Zhehan’s expression was bitter. “It was a mistake.”
Chen Feng smiled coldly. “Three hours of ice mage training tonight. If you
can’t freeze people properly, then don’t eat tomorrow morning.”
Wait, could he go to the bathroom first?!
Wei Xiao called Lu Feng as soon as he slipped outside.
He wanted to know the results from the check up. It was something that had
remained firmly on his mind.
He’d calculated the time and figured that the results should be out by now.
Wei Xiao wanted to hear the good news too badly.
He counted the days daily, and his biggest wish was to learn that the
captain’s shoulder was gradually recovering.
He didn’t request that the captain would come back early, but he had to
come back healthy.
The singles competition, doubles competition, team competition.
So many, many wonderful games and competitions were waiting for them!
The call connected. Wei Xiao’s eyes were curved with his smile. “Captain,
how’d it go?”
There seemed to be a slight pause on the other end of the phone.
Wei Xiao’s heart inexplicably clenched tight.
Lu Feng spoke before he could say anything, “It went very well.” His voice
sounded the same as usual, a magnetic sound with a slightly cold metallic
undertone, sounding as though it could carry the current over the
microphone.
Wei Xiao was delighted. “You scared me, I thought that something had
happened.”
Lu Feng’s voice was calm. “What could’ve happened?”
Wei Xiao didn’t say it, “Nothing unexpected will happen!”
Unlucky words couldn’t be said out loud. The captain would definitely
come back healthy, and his shoulder would certainly recover until it was in
a better state than his own!
Lu Feng’s eyelashes dropped as he looked down coldly at the report in his

hand. “Little Xiao.”
Wei Xiao always had the feeling that something wasn’t quite right, “Hm?”
Lu Feng covered up the report and said gently, “Do you want to solo?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng glanced at the time, “I’ll be back at the hotel in half an hour…”
It was now a little past ten o’clock, and it would be around 10:30 by the
time he was home. This wasn’t yet the time when Wei Xiao would go to
sleep.
Wei Xiao thought he’d misheard. “Solo?”
Lu Feng: “Yes, didn’t you want to practice nine light arcs?”
Wei Xiao’s heart leapt, and he was almost bewitched, “No way! The doctor
said that you can’t touch the game for these two months.”
Lu Feng paused.
Wei Xiao continued quickly, “Captain, don’t be anxious. It wasn’t easy for
the physiotherapy to have some effect, don’t give up.”
Lu Feng said patiently, “The examination results were very good today. The
doctor said that we can play for a while.”
Wei Xiao was relieved, but he still refused to allow it. “Even if you can
play, it should be low intensity. You can’t solo!”
No matter how much he wanted to solo with Lu Feng, this was the most
critical time for Lu Feng’s shoulder, and Wei Xiao would never take any
risks with it.
Doing something like accompanying him to brush out nine light arcs was
even more impossible.
Just like how he had to put in 120% of his effort in order to stimulate
Moonlit, Lu Feng would also have to work hard in order to force him to use
nine light arcs.
It hadn’t been easy for his shoulder to start its recovery. How could they
mess around with it?
Wei Xiao thought that it was because his hands were itching from not
touching the game for a long time. He coaxed him softly, “Well, your
recovery will be complete in another month at most. After that, we’ll solo
every day and every night and make up for everything that’s accrued!”
Lu Feng’s thin lips moved slightly, his voice a little hoarse as he called out
to him. “Little Xiao.”
Wei Xiao couldn’t bear to hear him call him that. He clutched his cell phone
tight, “What?”
Lu Feng: “…… Go rank.”
This period of time was for free training. Generally speaking, the players
would go play ranked games on their own.
Wei Xiao’s heart was still uneasy. He couldn’t help but ask, “Captain, were
the check up results really alright?”
Lu Feng dropped his gaze. “There’s no problem.”
Wei Xiao believed every word he said. His eyes curved again, “Then don’t
worry. I know you feel bad, but you have to persevere. We can’t give up all
our previous achievements.”
He thought about it. If he was the one who wasn’t allowed to touch Glory
for a month, he would’ve started banging his head against the wall a long
time ago.
Lu Feng replied, “Alright.”
Wei Xiao: “Then, I’ll hang up?”

Lu Feng: “Go ahead.”
Wei Xiao’s heart settled back down, and he slipped back to the training
room quickly.
The game against HU was tomorrow. He wanted to be in the best state and
have a good time winning!
When it came to things like face-slapping, it should be done from the

beginning to the end, slapping the other party until they didn’t dare to lift up
their face or stir up trouble ever again.
After Lu Feng hung up the call with Wei Xiao, he took a breath and dialed
another number.
Xiang Liu picked up very quickly, “Yeah.”
Lu Feng: “How’s it going with the contacts?”
Xiang Liu was a little nervous. “The regular season has just started. The
active players can’t be considered, and those in the second teams have all
been evaluated, but none of them stand out…”
Lu Feng: “What about newcomers.”
Xiang Liu was shocked. “Could a newcomer handle it…”
Lu Feng: “The team is gradually taking shape. Bringing in a newcomer

won’t be a problem.”
Xiang Liu hesitated. “Then, then I’ll contact more people tomorrow and see
how it goes.”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Xiang Liu’s heart was unsettled after he disconnected the call.
Two weeks ago, Lu Feng’s first phone call had scared him into having
several sleepless nights.
Lu Feng had asked him to find a substitute, a top-lane substitute.
FTW hadn’t had a substitute for many years.
In Glory competitions, six players would be registered for the team

competition. Five starters and one substitute.
Most of the time, the substitute in the team would be a player who focused
primarily on the singles or doubles games. On one hand, they could
substitute in for the 5v5 games, and on the other hand, they could also
compete for the title in the other two competitive arenas.
FTW used to have a substitute. It had been Tang Chen, but everyone knew
that Tang Chen was a real substitute, and Yuan Ze wouldn’t give him a
chance to play.
Later on, the Team of Gods had disbanded, and FTW couldn’t even pull
together enough starters, so they hadn’t had the extra manpower to have a
substitute.
Last year, they’d won the domestic championship and had a chance to
arrange for a substitute.
But Lu Feng had refused.
His reason was––it didn’t make sense.
5v5 relied too much on the team. If one person was upset, it would affect
the final game in the arena.
There was only one substitute spot, meaning that only one position could be
replaced.
And having a substitute for that person would more or less still have an
impact on their state.
Was it that the team didn’t trust them? Did it mean that there was a
possibility that they’d be replaced? Was the substitute better than they
were?
Lu Feng didn’t want the starters to have this kind of mentality, so he hadn’t
wanted to arrange for a substitute.
But now…
Xiang Liu didn’t dare to ask for the reason.
Was it that the treatment results weren’t good?
Was this substitute for Tang Chen or Lu Feng?
Or… was he cultivating a new top-laner?
No matter which possibility it was, it still filled Xiang Liu’s heart with
worry.
Wei Xiao got up early after a night without dreams.
He sent Lu Feng a message, but Lu Feng didn’t reply.
Wei Xiao saw that it was still early, and Soybean kept butting at him with
his head. He thought about how he’d given Brother Soy the cold treatment
recently and simply went to pull on some clothes, taking it downstairs to
run some laps.
It was March, and spring had already begun. Many cherry plum trees had
been planted in the yard downstairs. When the tree wasn’t in bloom, it had
purple-red leaves that looked like gorgeous, cascading flaming clouds.
After it bloomed, it’s appearance would change. Large white flowers would
cover the colorful red leaves, looking like layers of fluffy clouds that rolled
with the spring breeze.
Wei Xiao was in a good mood. He found a tree that was in full bloom and
took pictures of it with Brother Soy.
Brother Soy was extremely perfunctory and didn’t even want to look at the
camera.
Wei Xiao had a plan in mind. He clicked open his screen saver––
Brother Soy instantly settled down and even wanted to pounce on the
phone.
Wei Xiao scolded him, “Face con!” He took a photo as he spoke.
His screensaver was naturally a photo of the captain. It was a photo he’d
taken secretly when he and the captain were on a video call.
The photo was a little blurry, but that wasn’t enough to affect the captain’s
handsome face. Especially when it came to this type of close-up photo;
there was really nothing that could be done when one’s facial features were
so exquisite.
Wei Xiao himself looked at it for a while, then tsked and said, “He’s really
handsome.”
Black hair framed pale skin, sword eyebrows over star-like eyes, long
eyelashes, and a high nose…
––He’d scolded the dog for being a face con, but he wasn’t much better.
Wei Xiao sent the photo he’d just taken to Lu Feng and added a note,
“Brother Soy misses you a lot.”
He hadn’t sent out the following message that said he missed him even
more when Soybean broke away from the leash and started running around
wildly.
Wei Xiao no longer had time to pay attention to sending out the message
and rushed over to catch him.
This doggy thing was more familiar with the environment in the base than
Wei Xiao was. It ran very quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Wei Xiao ran around in a few circles but couldn’t find the silly dog.
“Damn it…” The Brother Xiao who hadn’t exercised for a long time was
out of breath from running around.
He stopped to catch his breath, but he wasn’t actually panicking. In any
case, everyone in the base recognized Brother Soy, and he couldn’t run off.
While Wei Xiao was taking a breather, he unexpectedly heard voices talking
around the corner.
One of them was Xiang Liu, and the other person seemed to be an outsider.
Wei Xiao didn’t walk out, afraid of disturbing others when they were
talking business.
On the other side, Xiang Liu was saying anxiously, “There’s no need for a
jungler position, we’re just looking for a top-laner.”
This one sentence made the Wei Xiao who was preparing to slip away
freeze in shock.
The other person said, “Finding top-laners isn’t easy. You should already
know this. Newcomers always want to play flashy positions.”
Xiang Liu: “Try your best to contact some. It’s okay if they’re newcomers.
As long as they’re good quality, we can bring them back and polish them
slowly.”
The other person couldn’t help asking, “This… who are they substituting?
How can FTW be short on top-laners?”
Xiang Liu laughed, “Just preparing for the unexpected.”
Wei Xiao, who’d originally worked up a thin layer of sweat from running
around, now felt cold all over. His fingers curled and flexed uncontrollably.
The other person left.
Xiang Liu sighed, then headed back. He ended up face to face with Wei
Xiao.
Xiang Liu: “!”

Wei Xiao stood under the purple cherry plum tree covered with white
flowers. His face was even whiter than the cloud-like flowers, “Who is the
substitute for.”
His voice was as cold as a recently melted winter glacier.
Xiang Liu’s brain emptied out. He was flustered, “No, it’s not…”
It was over. He’d actually been overheard by this little ancestor!
Something major was going to happen!
Xiang Liu was very anxious, but the more anxious he was, the less he knew
what to say. After all… he didn’t know the details of the situation, either!
Wei Xiao didn’t say anything else and turned to leave.
Xiang Liu rushed to catch up with him, “Quiet, don’t worry. Things may
not be like what you think…” F*ck, the more he said, the messier the
situation became…
Wei Xiao’s eyelids flickered. He said quietly, “Mm. I’ll go ask the captain.”
Xiang Liu: “………………………………”
God damn it, was it too late for him to cut open his stomach to atone for his
sins now?!
The author has something to say: It’s okay, don’t panic.
xiin: T_T *cuddles the little lunatic*

Ch134 - I’m not only Quiet, I’m
also your boyfriend.
Wei Xiao’s brain was buzzing, and his good mood from that morning was
gone.
He walked woodenly back into the house, his slender fingers clenching his
cell phone tightly.
The captain was looking for a substitute.
A substitute for the top lane.
Who was it for?
Wei Xiao had always been more sensitive to these things. His seemingly
casual appearance hid a heart sharper than anyone else’s.
Many details from before came together, crowding into his confused mind
and filling it up––
The pause in the captain’s voice when he inquired about the results of the
check-up and today’s inexplicable offer to solo….
Bits and pieces of discordant information gathered together, piling up into

an answer that Wei Xiao didn’t want to face.
He closed his eyes briefly, then dialed Lu Feng’s cell phone.
Lu Feng’s voice was slightly surprised when he connected the call, “What’s
up?”
They kept in touch for a long time every day, but they usually used WeChat
voice messages or video calls and rarely made phone calls.
Making long-distance international calls was very troublesome. There was

no need to call if it wasn’t urgent.
When Wei Xiao heard his voice, he couldn’t help feeling a burst of sourness
at the tip of his nose. “… Substitute. Who is it for.”
He didn’t try to ease his tone at all, nor did he leave Lu Feng any room to
maneuver. He asked the question very frankly.
Wei Xiao suppressed the tiny quiver in his voice, asking Lu Feng in a tone
that was so calm that it was cold, “Who is the new substitute that you’re
looking for going to replace.”
Was it for Tang Chen?
Was that necessary?
It was just one regular season. Was there any need to be in such a hurry to
find a substitute for that?
Although Tang Chen’s state had its ups and downs, no matter how much it
wavered, he would still be much better than a newcomer who’d joined
without any running in.
It couldn’t be for Tang Chen…
Which left only one answer. This substitute was for Lu Feng.
Lu Feng.
Close.
The strongest singles player.

Needed a substitute…
The rims of Wei Xiao’s eyes were red, but he didn’t shed tears. He didn’t
even sob or choke.
Clearly, as long as he suffered even a tiny bit of grievance, he could go and

cry to the captain…
But this time, he didn’t.
He’d crushed all his surging emotions back down.
After a long time, Lu Feng spoke in a low voice, “Little Xiao.”
Wei Xiao didn’t speak. He listened to him speak in silence.
It was difficult for Lu Feng to open his mouth.
It was half past ten in China, and half past ten in North America.
But it was a pity that the sun was rising in one location, heralding a bright
and beautiful day, while in the other location, night was falling, a dark and
silent night.
Just like him and Wei Xiao.
It had been a month since he’d arrived.
The weekly check up reports were on the desk in his suite.
One report, two, three…
They were even more shocking to look at when they were stacked together.
There had been no improvement. There hadn’t been any obvious

improvement after a whole month of physiotherapy.
Dr Chen had been right. This place was indeed very good for treating this
kind of external trauma. Even if Lu Feng had come here a year earlier, he
would’ve been able to recover until he was just as good as before.
But he’d let the injury drag on for a full three years.
From when he was 18 to 21.
He’d picked up the broken FTW and lifted it up with his injured shoulder.
Everyone only saw the hero who’d won three consecutive championships,
only saw the young head of the club. Who knew what kind of price he’d
paid behind the scenes?
The price he’d paid… the effort… the persistence…
Even before he could return, the regret had already arrived first.
At the end of the day, Lu Feng was only 21 years old.
For an ordinary person, this was still the age of carefree study. For an e-
sports player, it was still at the age of reckless pursuit of their dreams.
However, for Lu Feng, he had already overdrawn the balance of his health
and could see the incoming night.
Lu Feng got up and walked towards the bedside. The electric curtains
slowly pulled open, revealing the dazzling lights outside.
He watched these sparks flicker in the dark and said slowly, “The substitute
is for me.”
Wei Xiao’s heart already held the answer, but he still felt a bust of buzzing
in his ears when he actually heard the words.
He stopped on the steps and sat down powerlessly. His long legs couldn’t fit
themselves on the steps below him, and his short hair covered his eyes,
“Send me the check-up reports.” His voice was as cold as winter snow.
Wei Xiao’s thin lips pursed. “Send it to me!”

Lu Feng’s voice was hoarse, “Okay.”
He hung up the phone and took photos of all four reports, sending them to
Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao listened as the phone beeped with received messages. The hand
that held his cell phone was clenched so hard that the white of the bones
could be seen.
In the past month, the sound of receiving WeChat messages was the sound
Wei Xiao wanted to hear the most.
In the past, as a person who never liked to hold onto his cell phone, he now
wished he could stare at his WeChat every day––
During breaks in training matches, he would secretly send him WeChat

messages.
Call him right after a game.
Before sleeping… When he woke up…
As long as he had time and it didn’t disturb Lu Feng’s physiotherapy, he

would wish to remain in contact with him all the time.
When the phone rang, it was like a sound from heaven to him.
But now, when he heard this familiar sound, he didn’t have the courage to
look at it.
What if the captain’s shoulder couldn’t be cured?
What if Close had no way to continue playing?
His faith.
His hero.
His lover…
Wei Xiao took a light breath and opened up the Wechat messages with
trembling fingers.
The pictures popped out one after another. He opened his eyes wide and
tried to look at them.
It was all in English, and he was a little taken by surprise when it entered
his gaze.
Wei Xiao concentrated, making use of his excellent reading ability to

understand them clearly.
The first week, the second week, the third week, the fourth week…
For a whole month, the advice given by the attending doctor was––there
would be no problem for normal life and exercise levels, but there was no
guarantee when it came to the fine operations required of professional
players.
Four reports. Wei Xiao spent half an hour reading them.
He just sat there on the marble steps in front of the base gate for half an
hour.
The cold spring wind swept over, and the heat from the earlier run dispersed
completely. The cold air drilled into the back of his neck, chilling him all
the way to his heart.
Lu Feng sent him a message, “The course of treatment is still ongoing. The
specific results won’t be clear until the course of treatment is complete.”
Wei Xiao looked at these words that were obviously meant to comfort him,
and his heart felt terribly pained.
The most miserable person must be Lu Feng, yet Lu Feng was still
comforting him.
Wei Xiao clicked on the video call button and almost pressed down, but at
the last second, he changed it to a voice call.
He couldn’t see him.
His emotions would fall apart.
Lu Feng’s voice was very calm, “Don’t worry…”
He hadn’t yet finished speaking when Wei Xiao first interjected, “Why did
you hide it from me.”
All of Lu Feng’s words were gone, dispersing completely with his breath.
Wei Xiao lowered his gaze and stared pointlessly at the dark lines on the
marble steps, “It’s my fault.”
Lu Feng’s heart clenched, “Little Xiao.”
Wei Xiao spoke from his heart, “It’s that I’m too weak and can’t bear
anything, so I can’t get your trust.”
Wei Xiao’s eyelashes trembled slightly, big drops of tears remaining hidden
in his eyes, never dropping down, “I’m sorry.”
Lu Feng’s heart felt like it was being ground to pieces with a blunt knife. It
hurt all the way to his Adam’s apple. “That’s not it…”
Wei Xiao’s voice was very calm, and he’d thought about the words he was
saying, “Captain, don’t think too much about it. Focus on your recovery. At
worst, it’s just that you can only participate in 5v5.”
He was still unable to finish everything in one breath, so he had to breathe

again lightly and continue, “The singles and the doubles… you can give
them to me. I won’t let you down.”
Lu Feng couldn’t say a single word.
At first, when the problem with his shoulder had been exposed, Lu Feng’s
thoughts had been the same as what Wei Xiao said now.
He’d hand the singles competition to Wei Xiao, and if he still didn’t have
enough energy, he’d also give up on the doubles game. What FTW needed
more than either of those was the team championship.
But Wei Xiao had told him––don’t you want to win them, too? Don’t you
want to have a real singles championship? Don’t you want to play the
doubles with me? Are you willing to watch me play doubles with others?!
Lu Feng was unwilling. So he’d chosen to let the public know, and chosen
to cut off all means of retreat and come to receive treatment.
But reality wasn’t like a fairy tale.
Cruelty wouldn’t go away just because he was unwilling.
One check up report after another woke him up.
He couldn’t play the singles, couldn’t play the doubles, and may not even
be able to hold on until the end for the 5v5.
If he retired, the team would be one position short. Choosing a substitute

ahead of time and training them up early was the most rational decision.
He wasn’t just a player, but also the person in charge of FTW. He was
responsible for them––for the people who’d followed him and trusted him
until now.
Even without ‘Close’, he was still Lu Feng.
Wei Xiao said earnestly, “There’s still a month’s time. It’ll be fine no matter
what the results are.”
He no longer gave Lu Feng any pressure, and no longer forced him to make
any decisions.
Close had already been holding on for too long. He wanted to be the
shoulder he could lean on.
Wei Xiao’s tears ultimately did fall. He wiped them away, his voice
remaining unchanged, “Captain, try to believe in me, okay? I’m not only
Quiet, I…” He paused, trying to speak in a slightly brighter voice, “I’m also
your boyfriend.”
––I’m not just a player in FTW. I’m also your lover.
––I not only want to chase after you, but also want to stand side by side
with you and hold up the new FTW for you.
Lu Feng froze. He looked at the countless lights outside, words crowding

together in his brain until only two of them were left. “Little Xiao.”
Lu Feng: “……” I’m sorry.
“Well then,” Wei Xiao energized himself, “I’m going to go have something
to eat. We’ll be going to the arena later. You should go to bed early.”
Bai Cai was the first to discover that Wei Xiao wasn’t in the right state that
day!
At lunch, he went downstairs and was startled to see a Wei Xiao who was
eating seriously.
“Holy shit, you haven’t slept all night?”
Wei Xiao set down his bowl and chopsticks, “I’m finished eating.”
Bai Cai: “???”
When they went to the venue in the team van, Bai Cai sat beside Wei Xiao
and felt the piercing cold air conditioning that was being let out even
without words.
What happened to spring? How come the weather had suddenly cooled
down again?!
He summoned up the courage to speak with Wei Xiao, “You’ve already
slapped HU’s faces until they’re swollen. Today…”
Even before he finished, he found that he couldn’t go on. Damn it, where’d
this refrigerator come from? His words were turning to ice as they left his
mouth!
Chen Feng noticed it too. He glanced at Wei Xiao several times.
However, they were about to arrive at the sports arena, and talking too
much would shake the morale of the team. He held back and didn’t ask
anything in the car.
When they arrived backstage, the make-up artists didn’t linger, either. They
quickly finished their tasks and bailed.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle also noticed that something was strange and
looked over one after another.
Chen Feng couldn’t bear it anymore and wanted to call Wei Xiao out to talk
to him alone.
Wei Xiao finally spoke, “Coach, I’ll take the shadow thief later.”
Ning Zhehan’s heart thumped. “Brother Xiao, don’t be influenced by

them.”
It was over. Could it be that those dogs had also successfully messed with
Brother Xiao’s mentality?
It didn’t seem like there was anything wrong from their Weibo interactions.
Had something else happened in private?
Chen Feng frowned. “Winning is the most important thing in the

competition.”
Don’t go and get triggered by fools.

Wei Xiao spoke calmly, “Give me the shadow thief. We’ll win.”
Because they were the first game of the day, the matches started on time at
three.
When it came to BP, HU released the shadow thief as expected.
Because of the fuss on Weibo before, many melon seed eaters had come in
to watch the excitement.
“I don’t think that Quiet will take the shadow thief.”
“Based on Quiet’s temper, he’s obviously a real man who will go up

regardless of difficulties. How could he not take it?”
“God Q, don’t take it! Garbage HU only knows how to use dirty tricks.”
“I’m not a fan, and not a hater, but I’m really curious about whether or not
Quiet can brush out nine light arcs.”
The fans who’d all been unwavering in shouting that FTW’s shadow thief
was inherited all felt a little guilty.
Maybe, it seemed like, perhaps… Quiet’s shadow thief wasn’t like Close’s
where he could brush them out whenever he wanted to.
The BP ended. Wei Xiao successfully obtained the shadow thief.
There was heated discussions on the scrolling comments––
There were fans: “Amitabha, god bless, Baby Q, please don’t collapse!”
There were haters: “HU’s tricks aren’t very proper, but your God Q really is
shit.”
There were also the melon seed eating masses, “Coming in out of
admiration. I heard that there are nine light arcs to be found here?”
The director cut the camera lens to show Wei Xiao, and the female fans
exploded in the scrolling comments.
“Oh my god, how handsome!”
“Did you really not turn on a filter? Can a boy’s skin be this good?”
“I’m impressed, I’m impressed, my eyelashes aren’t that curly even when I
curl them.”
“How come it feels like God Q is in a bad mood?”
“Although it might not be very good to say this, but a Quiet who isn’t
smiling is very alpha-like!”
“I’m willing, really willing. I’m 18 years old and short of a 19 year old
husband!”
On the HU side, nobody said anything. Their expressions were dignified.
In particular, there was their jungler Han Gu who stared fixedly at the
screen. He really wished he could kill this shadow thief thousands of times!
The match began.
The noisy and lively scrolling comments were all stunned silly after the
shadow thief reached level six.
“Holy shit, who said that he can’t brush out nine light arcs?!”
The author has something to say: Cough, cough. Let me say it again, don’t
be scared, it’ll be fine, kiss.
xiin: WX – *eyes HU* perfect, i’ve found some sandbags to vent my

emotions on.
Ch135 - FTW's inherited shadow
thief
The shadow thief was a talent whose lower limit wasn’t low, but it also had
an extremely high upper limit.
His skill mechanisms were very complex and left a lot of room for
maneuvering.
For example, its first skill, shadow attack. A thief that was in stealth mode
could leave blood marks as long as it attacked the enemy from behind.
Once an opponent had been marked, it was a bad thing for them, because
the shadow attack’s passive effect was to automatically refresh the skill’s
cooldown when a target was marked with a blood mark.
What did that mean?
It meant that as long as a player was good enough, they could kill the other
person with only the first skill.
Being able to use the shadow attack well was an entry-level requirement for
the shadow thief. High level players could basically pull off a whole
performance with it.
The light arcs were what professional players pursued. The shadow thief’s
ultimate move was the light arc, and the description for it was very simple:
release a light arc to attack the target in front of the player, causing physical
damage.
This was an effect that could be achieved as long as the skill was released.
The part that really went against the heavens was the skill’s passive.
Light arcs could be stacked up, and the number of light arcs released could
be increased by a series of continuous moves. The damage would double
with every increase in the number of light arcs.
The damage from a single light arc was very low. It was only slightly more
than the damage caused by a basic attack, but once it started to double, the
damage became terrifying.
Two light arcs was double the damage, three light arcs was four times the
damage, four light arcs was eight…
Why did Close’s nine light arcs destroy the sky and the earth? It was
because the cumulative damage from multiple stacked up layers was
terrifying.
The light arcs were a ranged attack. As long as the target was standing in
front of the player, even if there were multiple targets, they still wouldn’t be
able to withstand such shocking damage.
Back then when Close had used the nine light arcs for the first time, it had
surprised even the game developers.
In theory, this feat was very difficult to achieve. It required too much from
personal operation levels, and the details had to be managed too minutely. It
broke through the limits of what a human being could do.
But Close did it.
At the time, the netizens had been very violent, scolding the heavens and
the earth.
Some said that this broke the balance of the game and the game couldn’t be
played anymore; others said that e-sports shouldn’t have this kind of bug.
How were they supposed to play team competitions like this? The game
could end with a 1v5.
The crowd flamed the game developers, calling them fools, and flamed
Glory, calling it a garbage game. They also accused Close of cheating.
Indeed…
If something went too far beyond what ordinary people could understand, it
would be considered cheating.
Of course, this accusation was quickly broken down by the fans––live

broadcast, double camera direct recording. The viewers could ‘enjoy’
watching it however they wanted to.
The methods could be handed to you, the combos could be shared with you,
and you could use them as you liked.
This matter had been a big deal at the time. The game planners had wanted
to nerf the shadow thief and reduce the light arc damage.
The players had wanted to quit. This talent was already very difficult to
play, and ordinary players were already big gods if they could brush out
three or four light arcs.
If they cut down the damage again, they might as well delete the talent
completely!
Close’s fans were also kicking up a fuss.
Why did they have to nerf it?! Their God Lu hadn’t cheated, nor had he
broken the rules. Were they going to nerf the talent just because he was too
strong?
After a whole season of arguing, the game developers ultimately didn’t dare
to touch the shadow thief.
Because they found that it was actually fair.
It was completely within the scope of the game balance mechanism.
First of all, it was very difficult to use nine light arcs. Very few people in
the entire Glory circle would dare to rely on doing so.
After Close made his combo routine public, there were indeed some
cutting-edge players who could brush out nine light arcs, but it was very
difficult to do it reliably.
The game was unpredictable. The canyon was always filled with the
unexpected, and if a player was overly reliant on an uncontrollable skill, the
final result would be failure.
It was just Close, who was always calm, always steady, who had a strong
mentality that let him take the nine light arcs and show off all the way to the
heavens.
But, if he was the only one who could do it, then it wasn’t a big deal.
First of all, the shadow thief could be banned in a competition, and the
opponents could also find ways to target Close.
Soon after, the game officials also tasted sweetness from this problem and
were even less willing to touch the nine light arcs.
With this propping up the great demon king, the competition stadium grew
more lively. Especially when it came to the individual games, the heat and
popularity were unprecedented, and their bonuses even soared up along
with it.
With the colorful nine light arcs, coupled with Close’s face, this vivid,
living, global spokesman attracted countless passers-by to the game, and the
high number of new game registrations made the game officials unable to
wipe the smiles off their faces.
Later on, Close won the championship with the shadow thief, and the game
developers made him his own skin. They specifically made it a point to
make the special effects of the nine light arcs so flashy that it could make a
video card cry.
You wanted to see nine light arcs?
Come and watch the game.

In any case, the game competitions were run on computer machines with
top level configurations, and they weren’t afraid that it wouldn’t be able to
render the effects from the nine light arcs.
After this back and forth, the nine light arcs remained, and it even let some
dirty scheming people find ways to make use of it.
For example, HU.
HU was really ambitious this year. They’d put in a lot of effort to find
foreign aid players, and the whole team had undergone a big infusion of
new blood. Of course, after spending so much money, they also wanted to
obtain some achievements.
HU’s captain Han Gu was the only old player left in HU. When faced with
the strong foreign aid players and pressure from the club, he wanted to win
so badly he was going crazy from it.
The others in HU weren’t clear about the situation in the China competition
zone, but he understood it very clearly.
There were only a few strong teams, and the others were all trash. As long
as they could win against those teams that stood out, HU would become the
number one team in the group!
RR’s weakness was the most obvious. They were a strong team who were
overly dependent on a single player, which made them very easy to target.
As long as that player’s mentality was destroyed, the game would basically
be within their grasp.
Han Gu understood Moonlit, and he even hated him quite a bit.
A rookie, a newcomer who’d just made his debut for one year. On what
basis was his popularity so high? Why could he be so crazy, so arrogant?!
The China competition zone that had been in a slump for three global
championships, why did it have to rely on a group of new players to rise
back up again?!
Han Gu took advantage of the training match between HU and RR to target
RR to death.
It had to be said that the HU team’s level this time was actually very high.
Although there were some communication problems amongst the three
foreign aid players, their playing was solid. This was particularly the case
for their mid-laner WW, who was able to solidly suppress Moonlit. With the
addition of Han Gu’s sniping, Moonlit’s mentality had already suffered a
bloody collapse after several training matches.
Then, Han Gu set out the trap––
Moonlit, if you have the ability, then brush out a thousand layers of clouds,
hey.
If you want to take the whole team flying with your own strength, then take
out the same aura as Close.
Coincidentally, the immortal warlock’s thousand layers of clouds was

similar to the shadow thief’s light arcs.
Moonlit, who shouldered the pressure of the whole team, was also only 18
years old.
After being stimulated like this, how could his mentality be stable?
After losing the training matches, he would be even more eager to make
achievements in the real competition. As a result…
They lost tragically.
Han Gu tasted the sweetness of success. When he saw that their next
opponent was FTW, he focused on targeting Wei Xiao.
FTW’s situation was also interesting: when Close was there, the great
demon king was great on his own, and it was really a situation where one
person was dragging four others along with them to win the championship.
However, Close had left the team to heal, and they’d signed a newcomer
who also performed flashily on his own. His teammates were only worthy
of helping to hand him his shoes.
If Han Gu was envious of Moonlit, then it was even more so the case with
Wei Xiao.
He hated him so much his teeth itched.
He encouraged their coach to arrange a training match with FTW, but

unfortunately, they were unable to do so. Then, he’d shouted out his
provocation over the internet before the match, but it had rebounded, and
Wei Xiao had reversed it back on him.
Han Gu’s heart filled with even more hatred. In today’s competition, he just
wanted to screw Wei Xiao over until he died!
The game had just started when the HU side felt that something wasn’t
quite right, “The opposing Quiet is very fierce.” Their mid-laner WW was
from France, and his Chinese was really bad.
Han Gu: “Hold steady, he can’t brush out nine light arcs.”
WW: “Eight light arcs are also very powerful.”
Han Gu sneered, “Eight light arcs isn’t that easy, either.”
He’d seen quite a few of FTW’s previous competitions. Quiet’s upper limit
was eight light arcs, but it was obvious that he couldn’t brush out eight light
arcs every time. Most of the time, he only brushed out six or seven.
Most professional players could play such a shadow thief. He didn’t

understand what FTW was being so arrogant about.
An inherited shadow thief? It was all a gimmick!
With this thought in mind, enemies meet often on a narrow path; Han Gu
encountered Wei Xiao in the dragon pit.
Bai Cai was following Wei Xiao. He glanced at his experience bar. “Do you
want to fight?”
Wei Xiao: “Fight.”
He entered stealth mode even as he spoke and circled around the three
people from HU.
Brother Cai’s heart was in his throat as he followed him over. He kept
feeling as though things weren’t quite right.
With Wei Xiao’s current experience bar, it was enough for him to upgrade
to level six with the canyon’s automatic experience even if he didn’t kill
any monsters.
Two against three…
Did Wei Xiao want to brush out nine light arcs?
Damn it, Brother Cai was flustered: Old Wei first comforted Moonlit, then
fell into the pit right afterwards?
That shouldn’t be the case!
It wasn’t only Brother Cai. Many other people were worried.
The two other little ones on the stage were also flustered.
Off-stage, Chen Feng and his assistants were so nervous that they stared
unblinkingly at the screen.
In the audience, there was also Moonlit and Money who were wearing caps,
masks, and scarves, concealing themselves strictly.
Money bowed his head to play with his cell phone.
Moonlit glanced at him, “Watch the game.”

As soon as his voice fell, he noticed that Mo had opened up the official live
broadcast and was sending out landmines. “I’m sending out gifts to
suppress my shock.”
Money glanced at the LU who was number one on Quiet’s support list and
asked curiously, “Didn’t this little sister come to watch the game today?”
LU was now famous. They only liked Quiet and only brushed out hearts
and roses using numbers that all announced their love. Their intent was so
obvious it couldn’t be any more obvious.
Moonlit wasn’t interested in this kind of gossip. “Fans come and go

quickly.”
Money thought about it, “This LU…”
Moonlit: “It can’t possibly be Lu Feng.”
Money: “Of course.”
Based on his ten-plus year friendship with Lu Feng, unless someone had
transmigrated into his body, it was impossible for him to do these kinds
of… things!
The unconcerned and easygoing Tang Chen was calling from the top lane,
“Do you need help?”
The entire team was flustered, but Tang Chen’s mentality was steady, and
he didn’t feel the chill at all.
Wei Xiao: “No need.”
The shadow thief reached level six as he spoke.
At the same time, FTW and HU collided head on.

Wei Xiao and Bai Cai were up against HU’s mid-laner, jungler, and support.
Should they fight?
Of course they had to fight!
Han Gu was using the power thief, the mid-laner was using the spirit mage,
and their support was a giant shaman. This line-up had defense, control
skills, and DPS. The most lethal one was the spirit mage that was able to
sneak around and move everywhere, making it very good at harvesting
kills. It was going to be difficult for Wei Xiao and Bai Cai to fly even if
they had wings!
“Go!” Han Gu yelled, taking the lead to rush at the shadow thief who’d
showed traces of his presence.
The shadow thief ignored him. A shadow attack suddenly landed on the
spirit mage from behind, a basic attack linking up the blood marks, and in a
flash, the spirit mage already had four blood marks stacked up.
The spirit mage felt that the situation wasn’t good, “No way, he wants to…”
Han Gu gritted his teeth. “It’s eight arcs at most. With the three of us here to
share the damage, he’s going to die as soon as he touches the ground.”
The giant shaman quickly tossed out its skill, wanting to control the shadow
thief.
Once the combo was broken, he wouldn’t be able to brush out light arcs
anymore. However, the shadow thief was as agile as a fish in water, his
positioning god-like as he perfectly dodged the giant shaman’s control
without breaking how his skills were linking up.
The blood marks locked tight on the spirit mage’s body, four layers, five
layers…
Not only the spirit mage, but even Han Gu was shocked, “He can’t, he
absolutely can’t…”
Nine light arcs burst out over half the canyon, and the stunning, gorgeous
special effects left everyone dizzy.
Dazzling lights and layers of cascading colors exploded like a newborn

universe that came into being amidst infinite power.
The three people from HU froze. All they could see were their health bars
dropping crazily, from light injury to serious injury to critical health.
FTW.Quiet killed HU.Han.
FTW.Quiet killed HU.WW.
FTW.Quiet killed HU.DOC.
Nine light arcs at the start of the game, taking a triple kill! Quiet had
exploded in this match!
The author has something to say: Brother Xiao: Don’t ask, if you ask, then I
just casually brushed it out.
Ch136 - How was this Quiet? This
was clearly Close!
What was even more explosive was that these were the real and genuine
nine light arcs!
FTW fans were proud, filling the screen like crazy, “Inherited shadow thief,
nine light arcs, FTW’s twin junglers are badass!”
The team that once held a legend like the Team of Gods and had a great
demon king like Close now also had a big treasure called Quiet.
The old fans all burst into tears––they’d seen the team shine, and then
watched as it fell into the dust. Now, they saw that new hope had sparked
up again.
How could they not cry!
They were crying too loudly, okay?!
The commentators were also very excited. Today’s commentator Brother

Big Mouth was a die-hard Close fan and couldn’t possibly be any more
familiar with the nine light arcs. Unfortunately, he’d memorized the set of
moves and understood the mechanism, but his hand speed and on-the-spot
reaction ability didn’t allow him to actually play out this special move.
Brother Big Mouth’s speaking speed was amazing. He spoke at a rapid-fire

pace as he explained the combos, making even the audience’s scalps feel
numb as they listened, their eyes shining and their palms itching.
Money, who’d mixed in with the crowd. “This brat’s really good.”
Moonlit remained silent, staring at the shining on the screen, his pair of
elongated black eyes filled with fire!
Wei Xiao hadn’t taken out the shadow thief during their solo games that
day.
Why?
Because it hadn’t been necessary.
He’d wanted to stimulate Moonlit’s fighting spirit, but he hadn’t needed to

take the shadow thief into the arena.
Moonlit clenched his fists tight, pressing down his surging desire to win.
The ones who were the most confused were the eight people on the field
(except for Brother Tang).
Brother Cai was stunned for half a second. “F*ck, did you practice it in
secret?”
The mechanism for the nine light arcs meant that it was relatively easier to
brush out when the hero was higher levelled. The ultimate move was only
available from level six, so the overall damage of the skill wasn’t very high
at this level, making it very difficult to stack up the damage values for so
many light arcs.
If the difficulty level of brushing out nine light arcs at level 18 was 8/10,
then the difficulty level at level 6 was 10/10.
Yes, the difficulty level limit was 10.
For Wei Xiao to be able to brush out nine light arcs at level six, it meant
that he really could brush them out whenever he wanted to.
When it was matched up with the words he’d said before in the team chat,
“I, Quiet, can sit right here and brush out nine light arcs with my eyes
closed, but I’ll never admit that I brushed them out with my eyes open.”
When it came to putting on an act, Brother Cai only respected Wei Xiao!
Tang Chen was still cheerful. “Badass.”
Little Ning also grew excited, “Brother Xiao’s too handsome!”
Although he hadn’t picked up the thread of the conversation, the ice mage
was eager and ready for action, very much wanting to rush up and fight a
big battle.
ice mage – xiin: i suspect that the author actually typoed this, it’s probably
more likely to be the hero Yue Wen-le is playing (a marksman)… it doesn’t
make sense for the mage (Little Ning’s) to ‘not speak but be excited’ when
he just spoke
Wei Xiao didn’t talk much that night, but each word was like thunder in
their ears, “Old Yue, wait for me.”
Yue Wenle held back his small, tentative step forward. “… Okay.”
After taking a triple kill, Wei Xiao rushed straight to the bottom lane.
At this time, only two people from HU were still alive. One was the top-
laner who was having a one on one ‘conversation’ with Brother Tang, and
the other was the marksman exchanging health with Yue Wenle in the
bottom lane.
Wei Xiao’s movement speed was very fast when he was in stealth mode.
Bai Cai couldn’t catch up with him at all, but Brother Vegetable wasn’t
needed at all as the shadow thief shifted right into the opponent’s face,
stacking up shadow attacks on the jungle creeps to reduce his cooldowns
before dashing under the tower to kill HU’s bottom lane marksman!
Commentator Brother Big Mouth’s voice was bright, “HU’s gold hunter
seems to have scented danger, but the shadow thief moved even faster than
he expected. The second segment of his assault took him directly around the
back of the tower, and then he used the stone man as a springboard to dart
under the tower. The gold hunter used flash very decisively, but
unfortunately, the shadow thief who has taken three kills dealt too much
damage. Two shadow attacks were enough to empty out his health!”
Another kill entered his accounts. When they opened up the economic
panel, Wei Xiao’s farm was already equal to HUs jungler and support
players’ farm added together.
For a jungler position to have this kind of terrifying snowballing farm

meant that in this game, the shadow thief was thoroughly released from any
fetters and could let go completely!
They shouldn’t even think about suppressing him, and they wouldn’t be
able to even if they wanted to. Starting from the first nine light arcs, Wei
Xiao didn’t act stingy with them at all.
As long as the cooldown time was up, and as long as the light arcs could be
released, nine light arcs would smash into their faces like it didn’t cost any
money.
At first, the players from HU were still trying to remain calm.
Han Gu: “It’s an accident, he does indeed have the ability to brush out nine
light arcs, but believe me, he can’t keep it up continuously!”
WW believed him. “That’s right, it’s already pretty good that he could
brush it out once in the game. There can’t be a second time.”
Even Close couldn’t brush out light arcs everywhere during a game.
Perhaps it was because it was unnecessary, but they preferred to believe that
it was because it couldn’t be done.
What a joke. This kind of high difficulty operation couldn’t be given out
like it was free. Were they immortals or something?
It was hard to say if Quiet was an immortal or not, but he was definitely a
demon.
During the entire game, the sky would be filled with light arcs as long as
the shadow thief appeared.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
……
HU was numb. Their team chat was silent, and everyone’s expressions were
very ugly.
It was impossible to win this game. FTW’s total economy was 12,000 gold
higher than theirs, and there was nothing they could use to turn the tables.
What’s more, they had absolutely no way to deal with this shadow thief!
Wei Xiao had already reached the max level and was wearing six full pieces
of equipment. He was also blessed with Bai Cai’s support equipment and
had those inhuman nine light arcs. The five from HU were completely
powerless and unable to fight back!
The audience were immersed in watching. “F*ck, that’s too amazing!”
“Honestly speaking, I don’t like this kind of crushing game because there’s
no suspense, but this match is really too cool!”
“I’m not going to say anything else, I’m just going to go back and practice
the shadow thief!”
The director put in a small shot of Wei Xiao.
It was just a small display box at the bottom of the screen, and it was a
direct shot from the front. Reasonably speaking, it should make people look
ugly, but Wei Xiao was too photogenic––
The headset pressed down his slightly curly black hair, blocking his pale
ears from sight and highlighting the thin lines of his jaw. The black headset
cable ran down his neck, catching accidentally on his collar and framing the
faintly visible collarbone that was illuminated by the light from the screen.
Q fans all took screenshots and shared them everywhere, attracting a new
group of players to join and settle in Glory.
Of course, that all happened in the future.
FTW’s first match against HU was simply like the shadow thief’s personal
show.
From the triple kill at the start to the legendary at the end, Wei Xiao killed
everyone in HU.
He had a huge farm advantage, extraordinary personal operation, and under

this level of absolute pressure, there was no need to think too much about it.
Just fight and be done with it!
There was no doubt that the red ‘Victory’ word belonged to FTW here.
HU stared at the ‘Defeat’ on their screen in silence
When the camera switched to Han Gu, it showed that his facial features,
which had originally held a trace of meanness, were becoming increasingly
distorted.
He was trying to suppress the feeling of shame, but the feeling of being on
tenterhooks made it difficult for him to sit still.
His fingers curled nervously, and his mouth pressed together into a slit. The
voices of his teammates came over the headset: Strange languages, clumsy
means of communication, implicit criticism and doubt…
All of it poured into his mind until he couldn’t help shouting, “Enough!”
The team chat felt quiet, and everyone looked at him in dismayed shock.
Han Gu knew that he’d lost his composure, but he couldn’t help it.
WW said, “Let’s ban the shadow thief in the next round.”
Things had already reached this point. HU would go crazy if they still
didn’t ban it.
Han Gu: “……”
Should they ban the shadow thief?
Han Gu couldn’t answer.
In order to guide public opinion, he’d deliberately answered Wei Xiao’s

words on Weibo.
––Wei Xiao: “Keep working hard, I also want to brush out nine light arcs.”
––Han Gu had replied: “Don’t worry, HU will never ban the shadow thief.”
This was a sentence meant to mess with Wei Xiao’s mentality, but
unexpectedly, it had backfired.
Honestly speaking, HU really hadn’t thought of banning the shadow thief

before.
Even if they hadn’t had training matches with FTW before, everyone was
clear regarding Wei Xiao’s situation.
No matter how strict the clubs were in training matches, it was impossible
for them to keep everything airtight.
The fans didn’t know, but all the clubs all knew––
Wei Xiao’s nine light arcs were uncontrollable.
So, they didn’t need to target it too much in BP. Releasing the shadow thief
and saving a ban position was a good thing.
Compared with the shadow thief, the very popular berserker thief was more
worthy of being banned.
There hadn’t been anything wrong with Han Gu’s words, and he’d also
been able to suppress Wei Xiao’s arrogance briefly.
But who could’ve known…
Quiet’s shadow thief was actually so strong!
How was this Quiet? This was clearly Close!
How could they not ban this shadow thief in the next match?
The audience would flame HU until they became dogs.
But if they banned it, then Han Gu’s face would really be swollen from
slapping his own face.
HU’s coach obviously didn’t care if Han Gu’s face was swollen or not.
Their first ban went straight to the shadow thief.
The audience sighed, “If you have the ability, then don’t ban it, hey.”
“Wasn’t HU very arrogant? Weren’t they being provocative? Didn’t they

say that they would never ban the shadow thief?”
“This face slapping speed was a little fast.”
“And it hurt a lot.”
“Sigh, have some backbone, HU. Let the shadow thief out to play, let your
Daddy Q have some fun with it.”
Han Gu couldn’t see the scrolling comments, but he seemed to still be able
to hear the sarcastic voices. His nerves were all stretched out to the extreme.
The coach sensed it and patted him on the shoulder, saying, “Keep your
mentality steady.”
Han Gu froze.
Coach: “We’ve just lost one small match, what are you in a panic for?”
Han Gu’s hands and feet were cold. He suddenly understood what a bloody
collapse of mentality was like.
He’d always engaged in messing with other people’s mentality, but this
time he finally tasted it for himself––
It was like having a huge boulder pressing down on his chest or someone
pouring hot oil all over his head. It was painful and tense, but there was
nothing he could do about it.
Chen Feng looked at Wei Xiao. “What do you want to use?”
Wei Xiao: “Berserker thief.”
Chen Feng sighed, “Okay.”
If he still couldn’t tell that Wei Xiao was in a bad mood, then he might as
well give up being a coach.
But he couldn’t say anything.
When other players were in a bad mood, they would play games blindly and
collapse until their whole world was destroyed.
His own cub’s style was different. There would also be a collapse when he
was in a bad mood, but the ones collapsing were on the other side. Just look
at HU’s jungler, he’d collapsed so hard it was really like his world had split
apart.
Brother Cai asked Wei Xiao quietly, “Brother Xiao, what’s wrong?”
The sun had to be coming up from the West for Bai Cai to call him
‘Brother’.
Wei Xiao glanced at him sidelong, “Do you want to win?”

Little Ning shouted, “I want to win.”
Wei Xiao: “Mm.”
It was a single word, a single syllable, yet it inexplicably held the same
feeling as the great demon king.
Brother Cai’s heart leapt with worry. He always felt that the translation for
these two sentences was––lie down and settle in.
Alright then, he’d lie down first, then they could talk about the rest later!
In any case, there was an 80 to 90 percent chance that Wei Little Xiao’s
mood was related to the captain. As long as it wasn’t that his confession had
failed…
Holy shit!
Brother Cai scared himself into a cold sweat.
He didn’t dare to think about it, he didn’t dare to think about it any more.
Brother Cai was worried that his own mentality would collapse.
If they lost to HU because of him, he would have to die a death of smashing

his head against the keyboard––it would be better than getting chopped to
death by Old Wei.
The audience’s enthusiasm decreased significantly when they saw that

Quiet was using the berserker thief.
The berserker thief didn’t have the same heaven-defying mechanism as the
shadow thief. When it showed off, it wasn’t all due to personal operation,
but based on team cooperation.
As everyone knew, FTW was a fragmented team, and they were still
working on their team’s tacit understanding.
And then…
The audiences nearly lost their chins.
At the start of the match, FTW’s mid-laner, jungler, and support all charged
straight towards HU.
Han Gu was in the process of taking down the red buff creep and was taken
by surprise when he checked his field of vision. He panicked and
immediately wanted to hide.
But the berserker thief’s black scythe had already flown over silently,
locking around his throat.
Han Gu: “!”
The level one berserker thief didn’t have the ability to pull him over.
Locking onto the target only increased the damage of its basic attacks. Han
Gu’s HP was healthy, and it wasn’t to the point where he’d get instakilled.
But…
This series of knife attacks that came one after another was almost like
death by dismemberment. It would’ve been better if they’d instakilled him
instead!
FTW.Quiet killed HU.Han.
Quiet took First Blood!
The scrolling comments were a little delighted, “Han Gu was sacrificed to

the heavens in exchange for boundless power. Charge, God Q!”
Ch137 - I just wanted to tell
someone...
It wasn’t long before everyone realized.
The shadow thief wasn’t the only hero Quiet was strong with. His berserker
thief was also shockingly strong.
After taking Han Gu’s First Blood, Wei Xiao basically lived in HU’s jungle
zone. It was outrageously impolite.
Bai Cai: “Old Wei, are we bullying them too much?”
The first half of FTW’s jungle zone was eaten up by Brother Tang and Little
Ning. The second half was left to Yue Wenle to take the red buff whenever
he liked, and the remaining three or four jungle creeps would be cleared out
by Wei Xiao after he finished sweeping through HU’s jungle zone.
Was this called invading the enemy’s jungle zone?
This was called not even leaving behind scraps for the enemy!
As long as people still had a breath of life left, even if HU had been beaten
into retreat so badly in the previous match, they would still rise up and fight
back after getting bullied like this!
Wei Xiao only said, “Follow me closely.”
Brother Cai: “……” Alright, then.
HU’s side finally broke out after a long period of silence.
WW: “This berserker thief is going too far.”

Their support also added, “Han, don’t be scared, I’ll follow you.”
Han Gu didn’t say a word.
His fingers trembled slightly, and his nerves were stretched taut. He stared
at every bush out of fear that the berserker thief’s scythe might appear.
Wei Xiao played even more fiercely in this game.
The shadow thief was a low-key, calm assassin, but the berserker thief
didn’t even seem like a normal person from its appearance: he had wild red
hair, a body that was sleek and strong like a cheetah, and a huge scythe that
was taller than the character itself. He had a wild temperament and was
born arrogant and domineering!
When this talent fell into Wei Xiao’s hands, it was like it had been infected
with an indescribable madness.
After killing someone, the berserker thief would enter a frenzied state. His
red hair would fly about wildly, his eyes turning bright red. The wrists
revealed beneath his sleeves were pale, but powerful, raised cyan blood
vessels rushed straight to the black scythe as though injecting the blood of
life into the magic weapon. The air roared with brutality and killing intent!
HU’s support detected traces of the berserker thief and was delighted in his
heart. “There’s only two people.”
Four people were crouching in the grass together in order to defend their
jungle zone. They could kill the berserker thief in this wave and destroy his
prestige.
WW said, “We can fight!”
As long as they could control Quiet first and kill the berserker thief, FTW’s
support player would be done for.
HU’s bottom lane player also felt this way. It was only Han Gu who felt a
little flustered.
Had Quiet gotten immersed in the game and didn’t care about anything else
anymore?
Was Quiet playing recklessly, belittling his opponents?
Or, was it… intentional?
The shadow thief from the previous game lingered in Han Gu’s mind like a
nightmare, making him unable to relax.
Calm down, Han Gu told himself. ”Tthe berserker thief doesn’t have
anything like the nine light arcs. As long as we avoid the scythe and
suppress him, he’ll be easy to kill.”
Like this, Han Gu comforted himself a little too and cheered up a bit.
WW: “Han, what are you doing?!”
Han Gu abruptly came back to his senses. Only then did he realize that he’d
missed the best opportunity to attack because of his straying thoughts!
The berserker thief on the other hand wouldn’t miss any opportunities. His
scythe flew out and hooked HU’s bottom lane player.
HU’s bottom lane player was a frost hunter. It had short legs and moved
slowly, but it used its ultimate move to fly over to try and control the
berserker thief. Unfortunately, Quiet moved as quick as a snake and easily
dodged the ice arrow that whistled over.
It was over.
These were the words that entered everyone’s heart when they saw this
scene.
A frost hunter, an extremely squishy character, was now very close to the
berserker thief. It was like sending a sheep up to the tiger’s mouth.
Quiet killed the frost hunter in almost the blink of an eye!

Reasonably speaking, HU didn’t need to panic. There were three of them
even after one of them had died, while on the FTW’s side, there was only
Wei Xiao and Bai Cai.
Tang Chen and Ning Zhehan were pressuring the top lane tower, while Yue
Wenle was on the bottom lane. They didn’t seem to plan to go and provide
support, and they had a chance to win in a three against two fight.
But WW ordered, “Retreat!”
And it was at this time that Han Gu rushed up.
WW: “Han, you…”
It was too late. Han Gu was in a bad state, and in the chaos, he rushed over
to try and stab the berserker thief.
Wei Xiao’s thin lips curved, “Stay steady, hey.”
These three coldly spoken words were for his opponent.
The scythe filled with blood hooked onto Han Gu, and the doubled damage
poured out. Han Gu, who was already underdeveloped, instantly lost all his
health and returned back to the resurrection fountain.
The commentator couldn’t help saying, “Han made some mistakes in this
wave.”
These words were too subtle. The scrolling comments directly started
flaming, “What’s going on with Han Gu? What kind of stupid operation
was that.”
“Is that the level of a jungler? Laozi can do it too!”
“0-3-0, even a passer-by game wouldn’t have this kind of bad

performance.”
“Wasn’t Han Gu very wild? Didn’t he target my Moon God? What kind of
ability does he actually have?!”
“He messed with other people’s mentality, yet as a result his own mentality
has collapsed now. It’s really karma.”
Han Gu had really made a big mistake in this wave. He’d gotten distracted
at the most opportune time and hadn’t been able to keep up. After the
berserker thief killed the frost hunter, he shouldn’t have gone up to attack,
but he’d rushed up then instead anyway.
What did it mean for a berserker thief to have just killed a person?
When it came to having a berserker thief who’d entered a berserk state,

there was no need to mention two against three, they could even fight two
against five and get a pentakill, okay?!
WW’s signal had been correct. HU had been wise to retreat so that they
could attempt to launch a counterattack after the berserker thief’s berserk
state ended.
Yet Han Gu had rushed over and given Wei Xiao another kill.
Killing the frost hunter gave him double the frenzy, and killing Han Gu
doubled it again.
The berserker thief who’d had a huge increase in attack speed and damage
was boosted by Bai Cai’s acceleration skill and practically flashed into
WW’s face.
What could a mage like WW do?
No matter how he shouted until his throat was hoarse, there was still
nothing he could do but wait to die!
This was a vicious cycle. After the berserker thief killed WW, it would then
have triple the frenzy. There was no need to talk about HU’s support player
who couldn’t run away quickly; even a flying thief or flying warrior who
had multiple movement skills would have difficulty saving their own lives
at this moment.
The pursuit ended. The berserker thief had taken a quadrakill!

The scrolling comments: “What a f*cking blast!”
“That’s it, that’s it, the four from HU were all taken down by Quiet!”
It was fortunate that Brother Cai couldn’t see the scrolling comments,
otherwise he’d be angered to death: Did Laozi not count as a person?
Without Laozi’s help, could Little Lunatic Wei go wild so happily?!
After taking the quadrakill, the canyon couldn’t hold this berserker thief any
more.
There was a scene of slaughter wherever the scythe passed by.
Even the audience would have psychological shadows from this, not to
mention the HU players on the court.
Money, who was off-stage, sighed emotionally, “I now know where

Asleep’s berserker thief came from.”
As a team that centered around their mid-laner, RR was most afraid of this
kind of jungler who fought like a mad dog.
Last year, RR and 3U had fought together many times. As long as they let
out the berserker thief, they would get bitten by Asleep. There were no
exceptions.
As a jungler player, Money felt deeply about Crazy Sleep.
Now, it seemed that he’d found the culprit behind it.
Brother Sleep’s berserker thief that had shocked the entire China Glory
circle clearly had the same roots as Wei Xiao’s!
Even its aura was 80 to 90 percent similar!
It was true that the berserker thief was more of a team talent than the
shadow thief was.
Many people felt that Quiet and Close had the same style of play and were
heroes who fought alone, making it very easy for them to fall out of sync
with the rest of the team. They thought that if he took this kind of talent that
relied on team fights, he wouldn’t be able to play out its strength to the
fullest.
Soon, the audience in the scrolling comments were all slapped in the face
on a large scale.
Quiet was like Close, but he was also very different from Close.
His berserker thief was something he’d trained up before he joined FTW.
In the youth training camp, Wei Xiao and Brother Cai had explored many
routines. The berserker thief was one of them.
Wei Xiao had never been a single player. He’d always been a strong leader
who was more ferocious in 5v5 than he was in solo!
This game was even shorter than the last one.
If it was said that Quiet had given a one-man show in the game with the
shadow thief, then in this game with the berserker thief, it was a show with
the whole of FTW together.
The berserker thief could provide support very quickly. He went to the top
lane, and Brother Tang would soar; when he went to the mid-lane, Little
Ning would win a double kill; when he went to the bottom lane, Yue Wenle
had already killed the other side’s marksman on his own!
It was fine to be reckless. Once his teammates gave him enough space to be
reckless, God Le would become Daddy Le.
It was a game that held no suspense. FTW pressed HU to death with a 2:0.
The players shook hands after the game.
Wei Xiao’s expression was a little cold, but he was always polite in front of
the camera.
Regardless of what HU had done prior to the competition, there were things
that should be done at this time, and there was no need to bring personal
emotions to public places.
So, when he walked towards Han Gu, he stretched out his hand for a
handshake.
On the other hand, Han Gu remained motionless.
He looked at the slender, pale hand in front of him and was unable to make
himself extend his hand for a long time.
They’d lost too terribly.
In retrospect, this game didn’t look like a professional game at all.
It shouldn’t have gotten to this point that it seemed like a game where
professional players were crushing passers-by.
Additionally, HU had bought foreign aid players this year, added extra
training, and were targeting the championship cup.
Yet as a result…
The camera was locked on this frozen scene.
The audience all saw it, “What does Han Gu mean by this? Is he being a
sore loser?”
“F*ck, God Q already extended his hand. Isn’t he just being disrespectful?”
“This person’s character is no good. The competition committee should

remove them directly. Why let him play competitively?”
HU’s WW pushed Han Gu lightly.
Only then did Han Gu realize that he hadn’t shaken hands with Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao was already on the way to HU’s bottom lane player.
Han Gu: “……”
Wei Xiao didn’t shake hands with him, but nobody would say that Wei Xiao
was wrong.
Because he’d taken the initiative to reach out and had waited for a long
time. It was Han Gu who hadn’t wanted to shake hands with him.
He’d been frozen there for so long. Did God Q not have a temper?
Walk away! He was right to walk away!
Han Gu thoroughly pulled his thoughts back to the present. He thought

about how this scene must’ve been seen by countless members of the
audience, and he didn’t know how they would be scolding him on the
internet after this. His scalp grew numb.
––People who played with public opinion knew better than anyone else
exactly how cannibalistic public opinion was.
They’d won the game, but Wei Xiao didn’t appear to be very happy.
Brother Cai snuck glances at him, and the more he looked, the more
frightened he was.
There was no escaping it. Wei Xiao must’ve been unable to hold back and
confessed, only to be rejected by the captain.
Damn it, why mess around with a workplace romance?
It was too dangerous!
The captain hadn’t come back yet, and Little Lunatic Wei had already gone
crazy and led the team to victory.
Then what would happen when the captain came back?
What if Little Lunatic Wei couldn’t be able to get what he wanted, causing
love to turn to hate, and he led the team to a loss?!
Brother Cai was a small and thin little vegetable. He was scared to death by
this ‘sadistic love’ that he’d made up in his mind!
When it came to the post-game interview, Chen Feng looked at Bai Cai,
“You go?”
Bai Cai’s soul was fluttering in the wind––
I go?
What am I going for…
The host would ask: Today’s game was really played well. Is there any
secret behind this?
The secret is that my family’s jungler decided not to act human because
he’d failed his love confession and was in a bad mood.
Did Brother Cai dare to say that?!
If he said it, there was an 80 percent chance he wouldn’t be able to get off
the interview stage. He’d have been beaten to death by the director, the
cameraman, and the people in charge of lighting and sound.
Wei Xiao stood up and said, “I’ll go.”
Everyone in FTW: “………………………………”
Wei Xiao reassured them, “Don’t worry, I won’t say anything messy.”
They had the feeling that these words weren’t very believable.
Bai Cai became even more panicked. He couldn’t help reminding him,
“You…”
Wei Xiao patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. I know what’s
important.”
Bai Cai was slightly relieved: Alright then, it shouldn’t be to the point
where he would make his lovelorn state public.
Very soon, Brother Cai realized that he’d been relieved too early.
There was a live TV in the backstage lounge. He watched as the tall,

slender, and beautiful youth in the interview room spoke in a clear voice, “I
just wanted to tell someone, I can do it.”
As soon as these words came out, Brother Cai’s heart thumped hard.
But the host just insisted on acting inhuman. They asked deliberately, “Who
is this someone? Could it be that it’s the person Quiet likes?”
Chen Feng: “……………………”
Tang Chen scratched the back of his head, “Ah? Little Lunatic Wei has a
girlfriend?”
xiin: WX – i’m angry and i’m just going to tell everyone that i have a
boyfriend!
Ch138 - Little Xiao, don’t be angry
anymore, okay?
On the other side of the world, Lu Feng watched the live broadcast in
silence.
The first match lasted 40 minutes.
The second one lasted 30 minutes.
Adding on the BP link, it all added up to about an hour and a half. Lu Feng
didn’t move at all during this time, maintaining the same position as he
stared at the screen.
In live broadcasts for important events in Glory, the viewer could lock in on
a player’s perspective. Generally speaking, everyone would choose to
watch from the god perspective as it made it more convenient to see the
overall situation and was more exciting to watch.
But Lu Feng only focused on one perspective. In the first game, he only
watched the shadow thief, and in the second game, he only watched the
berserker thief.
The competition results, player operations, team cooperation… he didn’t

notice those at all.
He just watched Wei Xiao.
Locking in on a perspective meant that the viewer could only see what that
player could see. It was similar to playing the game themselves.
For example, Lu Feng was now locked in on Wei Xiao’s perspective. It was
as though he was the one sitting in front of a computer, and the only
difference was that he couldn’t operate the hero in the canyon. He could
only watch Wei Xiao play.
In the first game, everyone was surprised and debating over whether or not
the shadow thief who’d just reached level six would be able to brush out
nine light arcs. Only Lu Feng was very calm.
Based on that starting point, that damage control, that continuous combo, it
could definitely be brushed out.
Lu Feng was too familiar with the shadow thief; he was so familiar with it
that he could estimate the detailed data of an attack from every trace of
movement.
However, at this moment, he saw a different type of familiarity.
It was Wei Xiao’s familiarity with the shadow thief.
Or in other words, it was Wei Xiao’s familiarity with him.
How was this anything like Wei Xiao’s shadow thief? It was clearly Wei
Xiao in the canyon, using Lu Feng’s shadow thief.
Lu Feng watched without blinking. It was as though he could see the young
Wei Xiaoxiao.
Stubbornly propping up his home that was missing pillars, persisting in

growing up amidst the wind and rain, proving stubbornly to everyone––
I can do it.
I’m very strong.
I don’t need to rely on anyone and can still be the best!
Lu Feng’s heart hurt.
He wanted to support Wei Xiao, wanted him to rely on him, wanted to see
him live freely and easily, and have a simple and happy life.
But…
He’d given him new pressure and pain.
Lu Feng leaned back against his chair and could only feel the slight pain in
his shoulder.
The nine light arcs that flashed brilliantly in the canyon shone in his eyes,
bringing out the darkness hidden in the depths of his soul.
Lu Feng thought that he’d stopped resenting Lu Mingze a long time ago.
When his mother cried when he was a child, Lu Feng had hated him.
When he saw his absurd lifestyle, Lu Feng had blamed him.
After being locked in a dark house and left to starve for three days and three
nights, Lu Feng had wanted to go up and fight against him.
Later, Lu Feng had let it all go.
Lu Mingze wasn’t worth his hate, wasn’t worth him thinking of him, and
not worth him ruining his life over.
Today, Lu Feng found that he still hated him.
He’d destroyed too much of him. Why couldn’t he at least have left him a
piece of clean soil to work with?
If he hadn’t been injured, if his shoulder was still good, wouldn’t he be able
to accompany Wei Xiao to continue forward?
The singles, the doubles, the team competition.
In this competition arena that had given him light during his darkest time,
would he have been able to freeze time at the moment when the light shone
the most brilliantly?
If he hadn’t met Wei Xiao.

Lu Feng wouldn’t have been so unreconciled.
People always had to move forward. Those who’d experienced too many
disasters would have long become used to regret.
What Lu Feng could do was to do the best he could with what he had.
Make choices, then stick with them.
No regrets.
But now…
He was unreconciled.
He didn’t want Wei Xiao to have regrets.
He could get used to it, but he couldn’t tolerate that Wei Xiao would have to
compromise.
This eye-catching youth who was like a brilliant sun.
He should only be bathed in dazzling light that held no haze.
In these two matches, nobody could get a handle on Wei Xiao’s mood.
Only Lu Feng––
Across the ocean, across the dawn and sunset, he could sense all of Wei
Xiao’s moods.
The cold and cool shadow thief, the arrogant berserker thief, the endless
slaughter in the canyon, all of it reflected a restless heart.
He was so uneasy, so helpless, so afraid, yet he was still stubbornly

remaining strong.
Wei Xiao was still stubbornly telling Lu Feng, “… I can do it.”

Lu Feng closed his eyes. The blood gushing out from his heart felt both
bitter and astringent, numbing his limbs.
He’d said he would protect him. He’d said that he would give him
happiness.
Yet in the end, he was the one being protected, the one being taken care of.
Wei Xiao.
Wei Little Xiao…
Wei Xiao’s amazing speech exploded across the whole internet.
The girlfriend fans who’d fallen for Quiet’s little face, his strength that
could overturn the canyon, and also his various flashy operations all
exploded at once. “Who is it?!!!”
“Which little bitch abducted my God Q?!”
“I won’t allow it, I won’t allow it. My husband’s only 19 years old, he can’t
fall in love early!”
“19 isn’t that early, but I’m only 16. God Q, wait for me!”
There were also tens of thousands of mama fans. “Baby Q, don’t get
cheated by bad women ahhhh!”
“Baby Q, be obedient. Let’s concentrate on the game, don’t let your heart
and body get cheated away!”
The CP fans’ ships collapsed directly. “I’ve known for a long time that
everyone in the Glory circle are straight men, but…”
“My watering vegetables CP, my twin junglers CP, sorry… I’ve really
become a seclusion sister at this time.”
watering vegetables – Wei Xiao x Bai Cai

Of course, there were the sour and jealous straight men. “It must be LU
from the support rankings. Tsk tsk, you haven’t made any real achievements
yet, but you’ve already gotten yourself a rich woman.”
“It’s e-sports, what kind of love relationship are you trying to have? Have
you gotten first place in the regular season, a grand slam in the playoffs, and
the global championship trophy yet?”
“Are you already so full of yourself after winning just a few games? I’m
just going to sit and wait for FTW to mess up.”
“Their captain left the team, and their newcomer fell in love. The rest
consist of the old, weak, sick, and disabled. FTW is going to be useless this
season!”
These words were too provocative. FTW’s game fans swarmed up,
forgetting about a small thing like falling in love. They were first going to
flame the haters until their heads were bloody before talking about anything
else!
When Wei Xiao returned backstage, the lounge was filled with silence.
Chen Feng, as someone who knew the situation, didn’t know what to say,
and Brother Cai, as half an insider, was extremely flustered, worried that
he’d come out of the closet on the spot.
Tang Chen and Little Ning’s thoughts were completely off track. “Is it that
LU?”
Brother Cai’s inner thoughts: It’s Lu, but it’s not LU!!
Wei Xiao nodded. “Yes.”
Tang Chen and Little Ning: “!!!”
Brother Cai abruptly turned his head to look at him: Holy shit?
Chen Feng couldn’t continue listening anymore. They’d only just started,
yet he was already making trouble. Were they still aiming to get number
one in the group or not!
“Let’s go.” Chen Feng’s voice was cold yet compelling. “Back to the base
and review the game.”
Little Ning and Brother Tang fell silent, but Bai Cai was writing out
100,000 words in his heart––
What was the situation?
What did Wei Xiao say ‘yes’ for?
LU was the captain?
That legendary number one fan in Wei Xiao’s support rankings was the
captain?
Brother Cai was dazzled. As the Gossip Emperor, he understood a lot.
For example, every time LU sent Wei Xiao gifts, it was always hearts and
roses, and the number of gifts were very unique.
520 gifts, 1314 gifts.
It was like a confession every time, and simply couldn’t be more obvious
and direct.
With that…
That was the captain?
Speaking of which, last time when Wei Xiao and Asleep had been
streaming, the captain had also given him 1314 gifts.
At the time, Bai Cai had thought that it was Wei Xiao who’d tricked the
captain so that he could eat some sugar for himself. Now, when he looked
back…
Bai Cai was shocked silly. He’d scared himself with his own thoughts.
Could it be, maybe, did it mean…
The two of them…
Had the two of them been together for a long time?!
A cold wind blew over as soon as they stepped out of the arena. Brother Cai
calmed down.
What was he thinking!
Even without discussing whether or not the captain’s character settings had
collapsed or not, just simply based on Wei Xiao’s current appearance, it
didn’t seem like it.
If that fake LU was the captain, then why would Wei Xiao look like he was
lovelorn? Why would he act up and go crazy all night?
If the two of them were already in love, wouldn’t Wei Xiao be up in

heaven?
Why would he appear so cold and chilly like he was a refrigerator?
It didn’t make sense!
Based on Brother Cai’s understanding of Wei Xiao over several years, once
this guy’s heart was blooming with happiness, he would be both snarky and
bratty, and his coquettish words would be enough to drown out the whole
venue.
But look at his current appearance. It was 100% certain that he was in a bad
mood, and it was an incredibly bad, super terrible mood.
Who could make his mood swing to rock bottom?
Other than the captain, there was nobody else.

Why would the Wei Xiao whose red heart was pointed at Close feel so sad?
There was only one reason–-
Lovelorn!
Bai Cai went back and forth and logically came to his final answer:
Wei Xiao was lovelorn.
The reason why he admitted to Little Ning and the others that LU was the
person he liked was just to cover up the truth.
He couldn’t just say that he liked the captain, right?
As soon as he said that, Little Ning might kick the bucket. How would
FTW play tomorrow’s game?!
Oh, they wouldn’t even have to play in the regular season at all. Where
were they supposed to go look for a new mid-laner?!
With this in mind, Bai Cai had figured it all out.
In short, LU couldn’t be the captain.
Based on that style, that 5201314, even if the name was changed to
Soybean, he still wouldn’t believe that that was FTW’s cold and cool great
demon king!
Wei Xiao’s cell phone rang just as they returned to the base and got out of
the car.
Bai Cai tried to sneak a peek.
Wei Xiao held down the screen so that he couldn’t see.
Wei Xiao: “I’m going to take a call first.”

Chen Feng nodded, “Mm.”
Wei Xiao went straight upstairs, going back to his room. After locking the
door, his fingertips gently unlocked the screen.
The name that lived right at the tip of his heart entered his eyes––Close.
Wei Xiao took a light breath, pressing down the sour and astringent feeling
that rushed up. He connected the call, “Captain.” He tried to keep his voice
even.
Just listening to the sound of his breathing made Wei Xiao’s eyes grow red,
“Did you just wake up?”
Lu Feng: “I haven’t slept.”
His low voice rang out in the quiet room, making it even more quiet.
Wei Xiao paused. “You still have to go do your physiotherapy today. If you
didn’t sleep all night…”
Lu Feng interrupted him, “I watched the game.”
Lu Feng whispered, “You played well.”
Wei Xiao had heard him say these words to him after every game.
But it was different this time.
Wei Xiao’s chest seemed to have been sprinkled with a handful of salt when
he heard him say these words. It made his insides burn with pain.
“We’re going to review the game in a bit. I’m going to…” Wei Xiao wanted
to hang up. He didn’t want to cry until his eyes were red before going to the
training room. It was too hard to explain, and he also didn’t want to explain.
But Lu Feng called out to him softly, “Little Xiao.”
Wei Xiao leaned back against the door, his body as stiff as if he’d been
standing out in the cold winter for an hour, “Yeah.”
Lu Feng continued, “In the future, I’ll tell you everything.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes opened wide. The hand that was hanging to the side
reached behind him, searching for the doorknob for support.
It was a little difficult for Lu Feng to speak, but he was very serious, “It’s
not that I don’t believe in you. It’s just that I’m not used to it.”
He wasn’t used to communicating with others, wasn’t used to sharing things

with others. He was even less used to having a Little Xiao behind him that
he could rely on.
Wei Xiao’s lips trembled. He couldn’t say anything.
“Little Xiao,” Lu Feng’s voice was extremely gentle, “Don’t be angry

anymore, okay?”
Wei Xiao held back for a long time but still ended up crying like a mess.
He didn’t make any sound, but his tears flowed fiercely. If anyone saw this
scene, they would be surprised that a single person could shed so many
tears.
“Captain…”
“Mm.”
“Next week… Can you send me the check-up report directly?”
Lu Feng replied, “Alright.”
Lu Feng had a check-up every Friday. There was also a game between FTW
and TPT next Friday, at 8PM.
8PM in China happened to be 8AM where Lu Feng was.
After Wei Xiao finished playing the game would be when Lu Feng’s check-
up results for the new week came out.
Wei Xiao didn’t say it out loud, but what he thought in his heart was––
I’ll win the game.
So you have to be alright, too.
xiin: *cuddles them both*

Ch139 - If it’s this kind of
distraction, then please make sure
it happens more often!
Wei Xiao ultimately kept his tears from his voice and managed to sound
normal the whole time.
Lu Feng couldn’t see him, but he could guess at what Wei Xiao looked like
now.
If he could, he really wanted to give him a sky under which he could act
recklessly without a care for anyone else: Cry as he liked, laugh freely, and
do as he liked without any scruples.
Wei Xiao calmed down his mood, “I’m going to the training room first.
They’re all waiting for me.”
Before hanging up, Wei Xiao couldn’t help but say, “Don’t stay up late like
this. Pay attention to your body.”
After hanging up the phone, Wei Xiao’s body lost all energy. He leaned
against the wooden door and slid down to sit on the floor.
His forehead rested against his bent knees, and his black hair fell down
limply, covering parts of his face.
The setting sun shone through the clear glass and shone on the warm brown
wooden floor, stretching out in a long band of light.
At the end of the light was a youth who trembled slightly as he hugged his
knees.
When Wei Xiao went downstairs, Chen Feng took a look at him, “……”
Little Ning and Yue Wenle: “…………”
Brother Tang was fearless. “It’s night time and indoors. Why are you
wearing sunglasses?”
Wei Xiao was very calm. “Isn’t it cool?”
He raised his chin slightly. His lips were curved up slightly above his
slender chin, and the silver gray sunglasses were perched on his high nose.
The slender silver frame and silver bar between the lens was covered with
LV’s classic pattern.
The color of his sunglasses was cool, stylish, and exquisite. When coupled
with his smiling face, he looked a bit like a refined rascal.
Brother Tang was very appreciative. “Cool!”
He’d long forgotten his original question.
Although Chen Feng couldn’t see Wei Xiao’s eyes through the lens, he just
had to think about what he’d been like, then link it up with the phone call to
come up with a guess that was 70-80 percent accurate.
You cried until your eyes swelled up, didn’t you, brat?
He really didn’t know what Close was doing. Did he really think Little
Lunatic Wei’s heart was so big that it wouldn’t collapse?!
Chen Feng knocked on the table and covered for Wei Xiao. “Game review.”
This was also tacitly acquiescing to Wei Xiao wearing sunglasses in the
room.
Wei Xiao didn’t need to explain anymore and sat down straightforwardly
like an exemplary model.
Brother Cai disparaged him inwardly: You really are f*cking hardcore!
Don’t judge based on how they had won so easily and how HU had been
crushed like dead dogs.
In fact, when it came to really focusing on the replays, there were actually
many problems in their game.
Apart from Han Gu’s personality problem, HU was really fierce and
aggressive this year.
FTW hadn’t had a training match against them and they really didn’t realize
that this second rate team had grown to become so overbearing.
No wonder they won against RR…
Although Moonlit’s mentality had collapsed a bit, beating Moonlit until his
mentality collapsed wasn’t something that could be done without some
level of ability.
Chen Feng: “Don’t underestimate the opponent. HU was caught unprepared

this time, but after they calm down, it would be hard to say what the results
would be like.”
One sentence from him was enough to make the little ones who’d become
somewhat proud after winning the game now calm down.
Indeed…
HU hadn’t lost so miserably because they were crappy, but because of

multiple interlinked factors.
First of all, Han Gu’s mentality hadn’t been in the right place, and he’d been
very irrational after being counterattacked by Wei Xiao.
Then, they’d all been shocked by the shadow thief’s nine light arcs.
The nine light arcs had been brushed out so easily that it would’ve made
anyone surprised.
A moment of fluster and panic that led to disorderly chaos. It was

understandable.
In the second round, FTW had won easily because on one hand, Wei Xiao
had shown his own unparalleled compatibility with the team through the
berserker thief, twisting the team together into a rope that could exert 200%
of its strength. On the other hand, it was because Han Gu had been too
terrible, dragging HU back the whole time. Even an undercover player for
another team wouldn’t have been able to play as badly as he had.
Just that wave where he sold out his teammates made FTW feel too
embarrassed to continue targeting him.
Compared with a few provocative comments on Weibo, this big gift of

sending over kills was really sincere and reliable.
Little Ning thought back over the game and said, “HU’s mid-laner is really
strong.” Unfortunately, he was dragged down until he died.
Chen Feng reminded him, “This player WW can’t enter the top ten amongst
the European competition zone’s mid-laners.”
When Ning Zhehan heard this, he couldn’t help sitting up straight.
The European competition zone held the strongest mid-lane player, the
former Team of Gods member, Xie He.
And WW, who was obviously at the top of the mid-laner list in China,
couldn’t even get into the top ten in Europe.
It was true that the foreign competition zone was a place with crouching
tigers and hidden dragons.
After knocking his point into Little Ning, Chen Feng went to poke at Yue
Wenle.
Yue Wenle bowed his head and listened, quiet and obedient, but it was
unknown how much of it went in through his left ear and straight out
through his right ear.
After going through everything once, Chen Feng looked at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao confessed frankly, “I’m sorry. I was in a bad mood today and was
a little distracted when playing.”
Everyone in the training room: “……………………”
You’re really capable. You got distracted and brushed out nine light arcs,
then shutout the other side!
If it’s this kind of distraction, then please make sure it happens more often!
Chen Feng was too lazy to say anything about him. He just said, “Adjust
your mood. The games next week won’t be easy.”
Everyone’s expressions changed, their faces growing solemn.
It wasn’t because they were scared by having to face TPT next week. It was
because they were paying the highest level of respect to Chen’s magical
poster.
Sure enough. Chen Feng’s hand loosened, and a poster was then pressed up
onto the glass board with magnets.
Even Brother Tang, who’d seen ‘big storms and waves’ before, had an
expression like an old grandfather looking at a cell phone and trying to
figure it out––this poster could only be described as spicy!
Little Ning suddenly realized something. He leaned close to Wei Xiao and
spoke quietly, “Brother Xiao really has deep foresight.”
Wei Xiao: “?”
Ning Zhehan: “How great would it be if I had a pair of sunglasses right

now.”
Then his eyes wouldn’t be slaughtered by this poster.
The training room was only so big. How could Chen Feng not hear him?
His gaze swept over coldly, and Ning Zhehan sat up straight, staring at the
poster with as much eagerness as he could muster.
Queen Chen was satisfied. He pointed lightly at the poster, “Do you see
this? This is TPT, a big meat mountain great demon king!”
Alright, then. We can sense that you drew out a meat mountain great demon
king.
Wei Xiao frowned briefly, “Aren’t great demon kings all very handsome?”
The room full of people grew even more silent…
Well, FTW’s great demon king was really handsome. As for other
people’s…
Could we stop digressing from the topic and show TPT a little respect!
TPT. Nickname: ‘scrunched up crying face’.
The source of this nickname was very obvious. Just look at the team name’s
abbreviation; it was like a text emoticon of a face crying with a scrunched
up face.
As a veteran team of the China competition zone, TPT had no fewer anti-
fans than FTW did.
Compared with the name that their anti-fans called them, FTW’s hater name
WTF (What the f*ck) sounded both fashionable and cool.
TPT had also seen better days. Their heyday had come earlier than FTW’s.
Before the Team of Gods emerged, TPT had been the absolute father of the
competition zone. Although they’d only won the global championships
once, it was still a powerful giant of a team.
Later on, the Team of Gods disbanded, and TPT’s old players retired one
after another. China’s Glory circle dropped straight to the bottom.
When FTW rose up again, TPT had also gained a new lease on life.
First, there was the talented student Fu Li who dropped out of school to join
the team. Then, there was Eurostar who switched from the top lane to the
bottom lane and discovered a whole new world.
TPT had performed brilliantly last year. Although they’d lost to RR in the
semi-finals and lost the chance to enter the globals, they’d played very
wonderfully in that game and completely emptied out RR.
Many people said that FTW and 3U had just laid there and waited to win
last year.
One of them had done nothing and won the championship, and the other
had done nothing and obtained the last ticket to the global competition.
Why would they say that?
Because in the semi-finals, TPT and RR had played too crazily. They’d
tried their absolute best, pulling out every card they had hidden and used up
a full season of energy.
Finally, TPT had made a small mistake and lost the game.
But RR had also exhausted themselves thoroughly. They only felt tired and
sleepy when facing the upcoming finals, and there was no hint of the
ferocity with which they played in the semi-finals.
TPT had been almost in the same situation. When they competed against
3U for the last spot for the global competition, they’d regretfully lost the
game.
In terms of results, TPT who’d only ranked in the top four last year, seemed
weaker.
Yet, everyone who watched that game knew how terrifying this team was.
Not only were the players strong, they also had deep routines.
When playing against other teams, the other side would at most only dig out
a single pit. And even if you fell in, it would still be possible to climb back
out.
It was different with TPT. Their captain, Fu Li, was canyon pit digger. He
could dig out ten pits every time he dug, and if you could climb out of all of
them, then Big Brother Li would change his surname to yours.
Chen Feng strung up the little ones in the team and reminded them, “TPT
has a natural advantage against teams like ours.”
Ning Zhehan was a curious little baby. “What do you mean?”
Chen Feng: “What’s our FTW’s play style?”
Little Ning blinked.
Brother Cai gave the answer, “Reckless…”
Chen Feng: “Yes. TPT is an authoritarian team with all kinds of hard
heads.”
Hard heads? Hard headed? The type that could kill people when they hit
them?
That was fine. TPT was like a net that could easily send you into the pit.
Wei Xiao was wearing sunglasses, and his expression was unclear, but the
corners of his mouth were taut. His attitude was a little cold and serious.
Chen Feng continued, “Do you see RR’s points? If we win against TPT,
there’s a good chance we can maintain our position in first place until the
end. But if we lose, it’ll be hard to say.”
Group A was a world that belonged to FTW and RR. The two teams were
very close in points, and it was very likely that the battle at the very end
would be based on net scores.
The so-called net score was the scores from each small game.
Winning a BO3 game got them one major point. When it came to position
rankings, the teams were first ranked according to these major points,
followed by the net points.
The net score was determined by whether or not there was a point deduction
in a BO3 game.
A 2:0 win was two net points. If the game was won with a 2:1 score, then it
would be one net point.
If the major points were equal, then every net point became very important!
FTW had three tough games coming up in the competition.
The first game was against TPT, who was in a different group cycle.
The remaining two games were both against RR, who was within their
group cycle.
If they won against TPT, FTW would be able to remain in first place even if
they lost one of the games against RR.
However, if they lost to TPT, then they would have to win both games
against RR in order to keep their first place in the group.
So, the game next week was very important.
If they wanted to win first place in the group, then they couldn’t take it
lightly at all!
Wei Xiao looked at the group rankings, then said slowly, “We have to win
next week.”
Not just for the sake of getting number one in the group, but also because…
It was a very special day.
The same day, the same time period.
As long as he won the game, the captain would surely win against fate!
Chen Feng could hear that Wei Xiao’s voice held a firmness that was
different from the past.
This Little Lunatic wanted to win. It wasn’t just for the sake of number one
in the group; it was also for something else.
“Mm.” Chen Feng said, “Wanting to win is the right attitude.”
Little Ning’s blood heated and rushed up to his brain. “There’s still one
week to go! Let’s train hard!”
Bai Cai was more realistic. “There are competitions both tomorrow and the
day after tomorrow.”
Wei Xiao: “Every game is training.”
Chen Feng became even more worried: TPT wasn’t an ordinary team. The
more they exposed themselves in front of them, the more tragic their loss
might be.
However, FTW wasn’t the type of team to conceal themselves.
FTW’s code of conduct was to go all out in every game!
They played a few training matches in the evening, and it was almost 12
o’clock by the time they dispersed.
Wei Xiao took out his cell phone. He thought about it, but ultimately didn’t
send Lu Feng a message.
His cell phone beeped. Wei Xiao’s heart clenched.

He’d just accepted the voice call when Bai Cai’s voice rang out from beside
him, “Did it have to be like that?”
Wei Xiao slipped his cell phone into his pocket guiltily. He didn’t have
enough time to hang up the call.
Brother Cai was clueless, but his guts were as big as the skies, “Don’t cry,
hey. The captain might not like you, but big brother cares for you.”
Wei Xiao: “………………………………”
The author has something to say: 108 ways to eat White Cabbage, give it a
try.
xiin: i can’t wait until Bai Cai realizes the truth… poor boiled veggie.
Ch140 - Wei Xiao: The captain and
I are together.
Wei Xiao didn’t have that many friends, and he didn’t want to lose this
vegetable stalk, so he tried his best to save Bai Cai’s life. “Screw your
caring for me. Although I’m gay, I only have the captain in my heart and
won’t love anyone else!”
He was still wearing his sunglasses, and when he said those words, it was
really like that expression pack––with sunglasses, there is no love.
Oh, except for Close.
Bai Cai still didn’t realize that he was wandering on the edge of life and
death, continuing his death-seeking behavior. “Come on, your eyes are
already swollen. Aren’t you tired from wearing sunglasses all night?”
He hadn’t hung up the phone, and this vegetable stalk had sold him out
completely now. Even he hadn’t dared to cry to the captain when he’d
called!
Bai Cai was really distressed for him, so much so that his heart was
creaking.
Although it was mostly abuse from thoughts his own brain had come up
with, Brother Cai was also considering things seriously for the sake of his
brother.
Besides Lu Feng, Bai Cai had the clearest view about Wei Xiao’s situation.
It was a miracle to have a Little Xiao like this despite having such parents.
But no matter how sunny and healthy Wei Xiao appeared, he was extremely
short on love.
He longed for love and also wanted to love; he was eager to have a sense of
security, and would try his best to protect everything around him.
Bai Cai wasn’t that surprised when he’d learned that Wei Xiao had fallen
for Lu Feng.
The captain had given him too much.
He’d led him out of the grief left by his grandmother’s death, given him a
stage where he could prove himself, and given him a home called FTW.
The captain favored him, took care of him, appreciated him…
Wei Xiao trusted him, was attached to him, admired him…
It was easy for such feelings to escalate.
Bai Cai had initially felt that the captain also liked Wei Xiao. He’d always
had speculations regarding Lu Feng’s sexual orientation, and he’d indeed
sensed the concern Lu Feng had for Wei Xiao.
But unexpectedly, the captain’s concern and care was really just the
preference shown to an excellent player of a younger generation.
On the other hand, the clueless Wei Xiao had figured things out first, and
after figuring it out, he’d been unable to keep himself from confessing, only
to get rejected.
That was abusive.
Too damned abusive. Even the Brother Cai who’d read many such small
articles felt that he should abandon his account.
There was no such thing as a true love CP! It was all fake!
No matter how happily they shipped a CP in their dreams, it couldn’t hold
up under a single knife from reality.
Bai Cai thought about it back and forth, and felt that he couldn’t just sit
back and ignore the situation. He had to pull Wei Xiao back up again.
Brother Cai spoke with great pride, “No matter how frustrated we are in
love, we’re still proud on the battlefield! Real men don’t need love!”
Wei Xiao still hadn’t recovered from the previous hit.
Brother Cai continued to send himself up to the chopping block, “There are
so many good men in the world. Why love the captain alone? Big brother
will help you find a better one when we go to the global competition!”
If Wei Xiao still didn’t speak, he’d be able to eat the famous banquet dish,
boiled white cabbage, for breakfast tomorrow!
“That’s not it!” Wei Xiao quickly interrupted his crazy ideas, “It’s not what
you think.”
Brother Cai’s expression was filled with heartache. “Mm, I know your will
is strong.”
To hell with your daddy’s strong will, oh… sorry, he shouldn’t curse Uncle
Bai, to hell with your big uncle’s strong will (neither he or Brother Cai had
uncles).
Wei Xiao pulled him into his dorm room and closed the door behind him.
Brother Cai was very calm. He’d already prepared his shoulders and was
waiting for Little Lunatic Wei to cry on it.
Wei Xiao was really out of ideas. If he didn’t come clean, then this fellow
might get himself killed, and FTW would lose a support player. What kind
of triple championship cups would they take then!
“Cough……”
When it was time to actually speak, Wei Xiao felt a little embarrassed.
Coming clean to Brother Cai wasn’t that hard, but the captain’s phone was
still on. The captain could hear everything he was saying.
Could he hear it?
Wasn’t it better if he could?
Wei Xiao stopped hesitating. “I already got together with the captain.”
Bai Cai: “???”
Wei Xiao’s eyes lowered slightly, his fingers unconsciously touching his
pocket, where his cell phone was. He wasn’t sure if the captain had hung up
the call or not yet.
Wei Xiao continued, “The captain likes me too.”
His heart felt hot after he said that, as though these words held infinite
power that squeezed into his chest.
Three seconds later, he exploded, “What did you say?!”
There was nothing that could sufficiently describe Bai Cai’s mood at the
moment. It was as though he’d been eating in a suspended restaurant in the
air one second ago, but the glass under his feet had shattered one second
later. This fall from such a high altitude practically made his heart stop!
What the hell!
What was going on?!
Had Little Lunatic Wei started going crazy because he was too sad?
Wei Xiao apologized, then said, “In fact… we’ve been together for a long
time.”
The colors on his little face were just like Coach Chen’s drawings.
“Are you f*cking kidding me!”
“I didn’t dare to say it last time because I was afraid that your mentality
would collapse.”
“I f*cking…”
“Stay steady, it should be kept quiet.”
The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds. Bai Cai still had trouble
accepting it, “You guys… when did you get together?”
It was impossible! How could they get together without him knowing? Was
his title as the Gossip Emperor completely superficial? Were the countless
words in his little articles all for nothing? He…
Wei Xiao cleared his throat, “… After the game against Pro.”
Damn it, not only was it for nothing. He simply felt that he was a stupid
fool!
So it turned out that they’d been together for so long, yet he’d even thought
that Wei Xiao was lovelorn?
Wei Xiao thought back to what had happened back then and felt a little
sweetness in his heart. His voice was soft, “At the time, I wanted to win
against Pro and obtain the winter training camp championship so that I
could confess to the captain.”
Bai Cai: “……” You really have a damned sense of ceremony.
“Then, we lost the game.”

“……” Brother Cai had a bad premonition.
Wei Xiao’s lips formed a smile, and it was unclear who he was saying these
words to, “The captain kissed me.”
Bai Cai: “………………”
The smile on the corner of Wei Xiao’s lips couldn’t be suppressed as he

continued, “I asked the captain why he was kissing me, and he said it was
because he liked me.”
Bai Cai wanted to run, but he couldn’t move his legs.
Wei Xiao went on, “I asked him if it was the like between a younger
generation and his senior, then asked him if it was the type of like between
family members. The captain said…”
He looked at Bai Cai and spoke each word clearly, “……The kind of like
where I want to be your boyfriend.”
Brother Cai: “………………………..”
Wei Xiao continued energetically, “After that…”
Bai Cai couldn’t listen on any longer, “Stop!”
Wei Xiao looked at him.
Bai Cai’s scalp was numb. “There’s no need to tell me in such detail. I get
it!”
Wei Xiao wasn’t finished, “This isn’t detailed. I’ve just started.”
Bai Cai: “……” F*ck your daddy’s just started!
Bai Cai’s brain was buzzing. After sorting things out in his mind for a long
time, he asked, “So, you’re not lovelorn.”
Wei Xiao: “Of course.”

Bai Cai was going crazy. “Then why did you look like the heavens were
splitting apart when you played against HU!”
Wei Xiao: “……” He didn’t want the captain to hear about this.
Bai Cai couldn’t figure it out, “Tell me, did you look normal then? Could it
be that you miss the captain because he’s been gone for too long?”
Missed him so much he went into seclusion? Missed him until the skies
collapsed? Until he had to take his anger out on HU?
Wei Xiao couldn’t answer. This was one of the reasons he didn’t want to
come clean to Bai Cai.
He could talk about anything but the captain’s shoulder.
Nobody at FTW could accept such news.
Wei Xiao breathed lightly. “Yes. It’s because I miss him. Is that not
allowed?”
Wei Xiao continued darkly, “You don’t get it. Long distance love is very
difficult. I miss him every day, and it starts to pile up. At first, I could still
suppress it, but after getting stimulated by HU, I couldn’t hold it in any
longer.”
Wei Xiao continued ‘complaining’, “Just think about how my life has been
over the past month! I get up in the morning without a morning kiss, can’t
hold hands during lunch, there’s no kiss as a reward for winning the training
matches, and before sleeping…”
Bai Cai’s ears were going to go deaf. He interrupted him, “You…” Could
you be a little less shameless!
Wei Xiao spread his hands, “Sigh, you’ve been single since you were born.
You don’t understand.”
Bai Cai’s eyes were also going to go blind., “I was an IDIOT in capital
letters for being worried about you!”
Brother Cai left, his mouth stuffed with dog food and anger.
There wasn’t a messy situation, he wasn’t lovelorn, and there was no

abusive situation either. It was just bucket after bucket of fiery hot dog
food; what was up with that!
After returning to his own room, Bai Cai realized something else after the
fact, “Holy shit… LU…”
Was that little sister who was number one on the Quiet support rankings
really the great demon king?
Brother Cai was paralyzed.
All the dog food he’d been fed that night wasn’t eaten unjustly.
After all, if he changed his name to Soybean, then he’d only be able to eat
dog food.
As soon as Bai Cai left, Wei Xiao immediately took out his cell phone. The
call duration: 16 minutes.
The captain hadn’t hung up.
He’d heard everything he’d said to Bai Cai.
Wei Xiao stared fixedly at his cell phone. His mouth, which had dared to
say anything just now, fell silent again.
Lu Feng’s low voice came out of the speaker, “Is Bai Cai gone?”
Wei Xiao abruptly came back to his senses. “Yes.”

The two of them paused for a while. The call time on the screen gradually
increased, and each second seemed to sync up to his heartbeat.
Lu Feng: “The day we lost to Pro was the happiest moment in my life.”
Wei Xiao’s fingers clenched tight around his cell phone.
Lu Feng seemed to be speaking from right next to his ear, “Thank you.”
Thank you for coming to my side, thank you for liking me, thank you for
being willing to stand with me and support FTW.
xiin: Bai Cai, the exploded vegetable.

Ch141 - ––Please let the captain get
better.
The words Wei Xiao had spoken to Bai Cai had stirred up Lu Feng’s
memories.
In the last game during the winter training camp, FTW had lost to Pro, but
Lu Feng and Wei Xiao had passed the sweetest night together.
The results of the competition was expected, but the joy of two hearts
coming together overwhelmed everything else.
Wei Xiao remembered what Lu Feng had said back then. How could Lu
Feng not remember as well?
He’d said it word for word to Bai Cai, but in fact, it had all fallen onto Lu
Feng’s heart.
Wei Xiao was comforting him.
After a whole day of competing and training, after crying until his eyes
were red and swollen, he was still trying to comfort him.
Lu Feng could feel it. This sweetness was too soft, making it so that people
could only cup it carefully in their hands out of fear of hurting him.
Lu Feng asked him, “Can you turn on the video?” He wanted to see him.
Lu Feng asked again, “Can we?”
How could Wei Xiao stand it when this voice drilled into his ear? “Okay.”
He took off his sunglasses and switched to video mode.
The screen was empty for a while, and then Lu Feng appeared on it.
It only took a glance for the thoughts in Wei Xiao’s heart to surge up like
rolling waves, the pressure making him unable to breathe.
He couldn’t cry, couldn’t be weak and fragile, and definitely couldn’t rely
on the captain again!
Lu Feng looked at him without blinking, his voice hoarse, “Little Xiao.”
Wei Xiao’s eyebrows pulled tight. His tears quivered in the reddened rims
of his eyes. “Captain…”
Lu Feng coaxed him, “It’s okay, it’s okay if you cry.”
Looking at the big boy on the screen who suppressed his emotions and
didn’t dare to vent them wantonly, Lu Feng really wished he could fly back
to see him right now.
He wanted to hold him, wanted to kiss him, wanted to tell him that it was
alright, that everything was okay.
But he couldn’t go back.
How could he go back to see him with these check-up results?
How could he say that ‘everything was okay’ after he saw him?
Wei Xiao was trying to stay strong, working hard to keep his mood calm.
“Captain, did you finish today’s physiotherapy?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao used to ask questions like, “How do you feel afterwards?”, “Is
there any relief from the pain?”, “Did the doctor praise you?”, and so on
every day, but now, he didn’t dare to ask a thing. He only dared to change
the topic, “You didn’t sleep at all last night. Hurry back to the hotel to
sleep.”
Lu Feng paused, “You…”
Wei Xiao avoided his gaze. “I’m going to sleep, too.”
Lu Feng wanted to speak, but hesitated.
“I’m going to take a bath. I’m hanging up now,” Wei Xiao said.
Lu Feng could only bid him goodnight.
Wei Xiao barely managed a smile. “Good night.”
After hanging up the phone, Wei Xiao fell backwards into the bedding, his
entire body loose and powerless.
The ceiling lamp in the bedroom gave off a very soft light that protected the
eyes. It was bright enough, but not dazzling, and wouldn’t dazzle the eye
even if he looked at it directly.
But Wei Xiao couldn’t stand this light and raised up his left arm to cover his
eyes.
The furnishing for the FTW players’ rooms were basically the same. The
blue wallpaper was a simple style that suited boys, and there was a double
bed that looked very comfortable. Above the head of the bed was FTW’s
team emblem; black and white double swords crossed together with the
name of the team written in the middle.
It was already past one o’clock in the morning, and it was a quiet night
outside. In the room, there was only a thin youth who lay there powerlessly
on the white mattress, under the soft light.
The soft and thick bedding outlined his thin waist, and the wide cuffs of his
sleeves fell down to his elbow, revealing a slender arm that was a little bit
paler than the light. His arm covered his eyes, and a tear ran down his cheek
to drip down onto the pillow.
A short while later, he turned over. His back arched, his knees curled up,
and his white ears poked out from between the scattered strands of his black
hair. His left hand clutched at the bedding as he cried silently.
––Get better.
––Please let the captain get better.
He wanted to see him win a real singles championship, he wanted to play

doubles with him, and he wanted to stand with him on the glorious stage
without any regrets.
Wei Xiao woke up from a nightmare.
When he woke up, his back was covered in cold sweat. His fingers trembled
as he groped for his cell phone.
Just when he was about to press the call button, he abruptly woke up
completely.
What was he doing?
What was he trying to do again?
Wei Xiao tossed away his cell phone and calmed down his breathing.
Stop pestering the captain like a child.
He should let him recuperate properly, let him rest assured, and not give
him any more pressure.
Wei Xiao patted his cheeks and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Bai Cai had been so frightened last night that he hadn’t been able to sleep
all night.
As soon as the alarm clock rang, he pulled himself out of bed and went to
do his daily task of walking the husky.
When he thought of his ‘part time job’, Brother Cai inexplicably felt a little
full.
At the time, Brother Cai hadn’t thought too much of it when the captain
asked him to walk Soybean every day. He just thought that the captain was
very rich and wanted to subsidize a good wife like him.
Now…
Forget it!
Like hell was he subsidizing a good wife, he was clearly spoiling his son!
Um……
As Little Lunatic Wei’s son, wasn’t Brother Soy also Close’s son?
He was clearly a babysitter and a nanny, yet he’d thought of himself as the
main character.
Brother Cai was ashamed of his own misconceptions!
Bai Cai was still in a daze when he went to pick up Soybean and was
surprised to find that the husky wasn’t there.
Eh?
It was so early. Other than him, a man who got up early for money, who
else would take Brother Soy out for a walk?
Bai Cai went to the window and looked out at the garden of the base. And
then…
Holy shit, were his eyes acting up?
The figure that was running amidst the purple plum trees and facing the
cold spring wind was… Wei Xiao?
Bai Cai flopped downstairs in his slippers and squatted on the steps.
Soon after, Wei Xiao, who was wearing black sportswear and accompanied
by the barking of a dog, came running over.
Brother Cai was so cold he was rubbing his hands together. “What’s up with
you?”
Wei Xiao glanced at him and panted, “Morning run.”
Bai Cai: “???”
Wei Xiao was tall. He was wearing slim running pants and silver running
shoes, making his legs look long and straight. Adding on his handsome
face, it was enough to shoot advertisements with!
Bai Cai watched as he ran off again and chased after him. “What’s the
situation? Why aren’t you sleeping in so early in the morning and going for
a run instead?”
Wei Xiao had a single earbud in his ear, and the white headphone cable
stretched down to his pocket, sliding across his waistline, “Exercising.”
Bai Cai was going crazy. “You… Little Homebody Wei, exercising?”
Wei Xiao rolled his eyes at him. “The body is the capital for revolution.”
Wei Xiao looked straight ahead. “FTW needs more championship cups.”
Having said that, he sped up and got rid of the slow snail Bai Cai.
Brother Cai stood there in a daze in the cold wind for a while. “… F*ck.”
Was the power of love so great?!
It even made a homebody cancer patient go for a morning run?
It made Bai Cai want to fall in love too, damnit. But when he thought about
it more, girls who liked morning runs were too scarce; he might as well
forget it.
That week, FTW was plunged into the abyss of deep misery as they
prepared for their competition against TPT.
Did this abyss come from Chen Feng?
Was the deep misery from the coaching team?
No!
It all came from their jungler king teammate Wei Xiao!
Little Ning was the one in the abyss. “Brother Xiao, I can’t anymore, I
really… can’t.”
The cold and cool jungler king was online and fierce, “Don’t even think
about eating if you can’t freeze me tonight.”
Little Ning: “……” He wailed out loud.
As a small eunuch, Brother Cai tried to make a careful suggestion, “You’ve

already soloed with him for four hours, and he’s already died in all sorts of
ways 30 to 40 times. How about…”
The jungler king glanced at him.
Brother Cai shivered and switched to scolding Little Ning, “The

grandmaster is online and teaching. This is something others can’t get even
if they beg for it. How can you say that you can’t do it!”
Little Ning: “……………………”
Brother Cai, weren’t you going to save me?!
The one in deep misery was Yue Wenle.
Unlike Little Ning, who’d never experienced the grandmaster’s baptism by

fire, Comrade Old Yue was filled with fighting spirit. The more he died, the
braver he became, and he was passionate and lost his head every day. He
wished he could solo from dawn until dusk.
Wei Xiao ‘taught students in accordance to their aptitude’ and used a

different way to train up Yue Wenle.
“What’s your score in the peak ladder rankings?”
The peak rankings was a mode in Glory’s high-level games. Only players
who’d reached a certain ranking in ranked games could participate in it.
Players who entered the peak ladder rankings could only solo queue, and
their rankings were based on their cumulative winning KDA.
This was a gold training model with a very high gold content, because as an
ADC who relied on his teammates, it was very difficult to climb up in the
rankings.
This was particularly the case for players like Yue Wenle who’d been
protected too well by Brother Cai. Once he entered the peak ranking games
where wolves and tigers appeared frequently, Yue Wenle was likely to get
sold off by his own support like a useless wooden stick.
The conditions Wei Xiao gave him were, “For every 100 points you gain in
the rankings, we’ll solo once.”
What kind of concept was 100 points?
Based on Yue Wenle’s miserable little body, he had to fight with a group of
animals for several hours while obtaining a KDA of 10.0 in each game
before reaching this number.
It was hard, it was as hard as trying to scale the blue sky.
But it had to be said that this method was extremely effective for Yue
Wenle.
The best way to train up a reckless person was to toss him into a ‘purgatory’
of deep misery where he would die as soon as he played recklessly.
In fact, the coaching team had long arranged this kind of training for Yue
Wenle.
But when it came to training plans, they were easy to come up with it, but
too difficult to actually implement.
Without anything to stimulate him, Yue Wenle would get annoyed after
playing a single game. He’d basically deal with the task with his eyes
closed, so the results were always very bad.
Now that Wei Xiao had made his move, Yue Wenle’s peak ranking points
had soared all the way to a new high.
This week, Wei Xiao was fully involved in team training.
He played in the training matches more seriously than everyone else, and he
was more attentive than everyone else when it came to going over the
replays.
When he soloed with Ning Zhehan, on one hand, it was to hone the boy’s
skill release accuracy––if even the agile and flexible grandmaster could be
frozen, then who couldn’t Little Ning freeze? On the other hand, it was also
so that they could get more familiar with each other. Double queuing was
really a good way to cultivate tacit understanding, but soloing could also do
the same, and the efficiency was even higher––of course, this was an ability
that was exclusive to the grandmaster, and others wouldn’t be able to learn
it.
Yue Wenle’s training was more targeted. It would aim to have the boy learn
to become more cautious through the peak ranking competitions, and to
resist being blindly reckless just because he had the protection of his
teammates. In addition, his desire for survival would be tempered through
the promise of solo matches. Then, it was back to the same thing – if he
could survive safely under the assault of Wei Xiao’s thief, then across the
whole of Glory, there wouldn’t be many who could easily cut Yue Wenle
down.
Brother Tang was relatively stable, so Wei Xiao spent more time playing
double queue with him.
Brother Cai felt snubbed. “What about me, what about me?”
Wei Xiao looked at him.
Brother Cai stood up immediately. “I’ll go squeeze some watermelon juice

for Brother Wei!”
He ran off to the kitchen so quickly he left a trail of smoke, like a virtuous
little vegetable.
It was an extremely busy and full week. Wei Xiao used this intensive
training to keep his thoughts at bay.
He had regular contact with Lu Feng at a fixed time every day.
But it was different from the coquettish attitude of the previous month.
There was more discussion about the game, about TPT, and the advantages
and disadvantages of their teammates.
The call durations weren’t short; in fact, their calls were even longer than
before, but the feeling of missing each other was stronger than it had been
in the past.
In the blink of an eye, a new week had begun. Their game with TPT would
take place tomorrow.
Chen Feng spoke up, “Enough, don’t queue until too late. Rest early.”
The group of cubs all answered quickly, but no one got up.
Instead, it was Wei Xiao, who usually left the latest every night, who got up
first. “See you guys tomorrow.”
Everyone was stunned, but Brother Cai understood: Alright then, he must
be going to stew phone porridge again.
Wei Xiao went out, bowing his head to send Lu Feng a WeChat message,
“Captain, wait for my good news tomorrow.”
Lu Feng replied very quickly, “Okay.”
He also hoped that he could bring him good news.

Ch142 - The faith in his heart
would never be extinguished.
The game between FTW and TPT was the finale for the day.
There were three games a day, and the third game would only begin after
the first two were finished.
According to their past experience, the possibility of a late game was very
likely, so they would have to wait even if they arrived early.
By the time they finished their make-up and the pre-game interview, the
current game was only in their second match of the set.
What was interesting was that the team playing outside was a team they
were familiar with––GOQ.
It was that team that had been beaten into tears by Wei Xiao, then forced to
review the game afterwards.
Wei Xiao took a look. “They’ve made significant progress.”
Chen Feng was also watching the situation. “We’re halfway through the
regular season. Many teams have started to come together.”
The live projection showed the two teams that were playing an extremely
tense game.
GOQ had already won a small match. In this match, they started off very
aggressively, and the storm hunter that had been caught by Wei Xiao and
forced to review the replay was playing very well. Several times, he stepped
on raindrops in just the right way, making it so that his opponent either
couldn’t deal damage, or had no way to escape.
Seeing that Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle had also leaned over to watch,
Chen Feng said, “Enough. We’ll probably be going up on stage soon. Go
and warm up.”
As an old expert, he could see that the game wouldn’t last long.
GOQ was in full swing, and the other side had already been beaten into a
mess. They wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.
The regular season had already been going for over a month, and the team
rankings had gradually stabilized.
FTW was first place in Group A, and RR was in second place.
In Group B, 3U was in first place, and TPT was in second place.
The other teams had also honed their fighting spirit and started the big
battle to snatch up points in the second half of the season.
In the regular season, each team had to play a full 19 games. This type of
real combat was worth 100 private training matches.
By now, every team had played at least ten games. The period of
acclimatisation they needed was now done, and the adapting they had to do
had already happened. The last nine games were the final key to the
playoffs.
Whether or not they could reach the top four in their groups would depend
on how they played in the second half of the season.
FTW’s record was very beautiful. Other than losing to 3U, they’d won
every other game.
Reasonably speaking, this notable achievement should mean that they

would be first in their group with no suspense.
But RR was chasing after them relentlessly, biting at FTW’s butt and only
falling behind by one point.
In tonight’s game of FTW vs TPT, if they lost, then RR could surpass FTW
with their net points advantage and become number one in the group.
Although it was only a temporary first place, if FTW could win against TPT
tonight, then their ability to defend their position as number one until the
very end would be as high as 70%!
So, this game was very important. For FTW, this game was extremely
important!
Wei Xiao naturally wouldn’t talk about the concerns he had hidden in his
heart, but he told his teammates, “We lost to 3U, so we can’t lose to TPT
this time.”
There was weight in his words.
In the current domestic competition zone, the strongest four teams had
already come out into the open.
FTW, RR, 3U, TPT.
The achievements of these four teams were also very dazzling. They bit
closely at each other’s heels, and at the same time, they left the third place
in both groups far behind in the dust.
The meaning behind Wei Xiao’s sentence actually referred to the battle
between Group A and Group B.
Although the first and second place of both groups could enter the winning
group, Group A definitely didn’t want to see a result where Group B was
strong and Group A was weak.
FTW had lost to 3U.
RR lost to TPT.
If FTW then lost to TPT, then it was almost equivalent to saying that Group
B was strong, and Group A was weak.
Although there was no competitive relationship between Group A and
Group B, who would be willing to be compared like that?
Out of the teams who stood there on the field, who was willing to be worse
than anyone else?!
What’s more, they would still meet each other in the playoffs. If they lost
now, then lost again, how would they have the confidence to win the
championship during the playoffs?!
Chen Feng nodded. “Play well and win this game.”
He could save a lot of inspirational energy with Wei Xiao there. This guy
was able to inject the whole team with chicken blood with just a few words.
Wei Xiao looked at Chen Feng. “Coach, it’ll be hard on you.”
Chen Feng: “!”
He was taken by surprise by Wei Xiao’s gaze. Chen Feng was so startled
that his heart leapt.
No wonder Little Ning was apprehensive of him, no wonder an old pro like
Yue Wenle listened to him.
When this brat turned serious, he really had an impressive presence.
Chen Feng understood what he meant, “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”
At 8:40PM, FTW and TPT walked out from behind the scenes to the front
of the stage and sat down in their respective areas.
They checked their peripherals, adjusted the machines to their liking, then
made a final check with the referee.
A fierce battle was imminent.
It was impossible to bring in his cell phone when playing in a competition.

Wei Xiao stared at the time on the screen even as his heart flew over to the
other side of the earth.
At the start of the first match between FTW and TPT, Lu Feng had also
started his check-up for the fifth week of his physiotherapy.
More than half of the two month long treatment had already taken place. If
there was no turn for the better, was it necessary for him to waste time with
the remaining three weeks?
When he thought of Wei Xiao, who was carrying so much pressure during
the regular season, Lu Feng’s chest was filled with a deep pain.
If…
Lu Feng closed his eyes. He made a decision in his heart.
Wei Xiao didn’t know anything, and he didn’t try to think about anything.
He only focused on the match in front of him, putting all the emotions that
had been suppressed over the past week into the field.
He’d win the game and take first place in the group.
As long as he went forward bravely, the captain would get better.
––The faith in his heart would never be extinguished, and his belief would
never fall.
This was the insistence that supported Wei Xiao!
The BP segment would never be quick for any game against TPT.
TPT was undoubtedly a strong team. This team that had ‘the strongest
brain’ Fu Li also had an added layer of mystery.
No matter which team it was, they would grow bald when they met TPT.
It wasn’t just the five starters in the canyon who went bald. The coach who
was responsible for the BP would grow even more bald.
Other teams only had one coach during the BP segment, but TPT had two!
And this other ‘coach’ could still follow them into the canyon and kill
people until they had no armor left. It was too much of a bug.
The director understood the audience’s tastes very well and first gave them
a close-up of Wei Xiao.
They’d arrived early for the day’s game and there’d been enough time, so
when the make-up artist saw that Wei Xiao’s attitude didn’t seem as cold as
before, she’d given him a new hairstyle.
Wei Xiao’s short hair was black and glossy, but the tips of his hair liked to
curl, giving it a bit of a childish look. The make-up artist today was the
same one who’d worked on him when they played against HU, and this
little sister who’d been frozen by a refrigerator last time was now eager and
ready for action, giving Wei Xiao an extremely ‘alpha’ hairstyle.
She’d pushed up the hair over his forehead, pressed down the slightly
curled tips of his hair, then set the style with hair gel. Just a glance at his
side profile was enough to freeze others into ice!
The little make-up artist sister was delighted, “Cool!”
Aiya, who would’ve thought that she’d get such a feel for doing make-up
for e-sports players?
With this hair style, when the camera gave a close-up, all the little sisters in
the scrolling comments immediately turned into shrieking chickens in an
instant––
“God Q is so alpha-like! I love this hairstyle!”
“What kind of big treasure is Quiet? He can be salty, sweet, cool, and warm,
fellow sisters, there will be no regrets if you jump into this pit!”
“I don’t know if it’s just my illusion, but ever since Close left the team,
Quiet has grown more handsome day by day.”
“FTW’s jungler position has good feng shui. It makes people increasingly
handsome.”
“Ahhhh, if the great demon king doesn’t come back soon, I’m going to
change my marriage target!!!”
The director cut the lens to TPT.
Eurostar was a well-known drama maker. How much of a drama maker?
If the camera switched to him, he’d first give it a wink, and then start
mouthing the words: I love…
Fans: “Ahhhhhh, Euro God, I love you too!”
“Today’s Star-star is still a sweet hearted little darling!”
“Ah, I’m dead, I’ve been electrocuted to death by this wink!”
The camera panned to the left, showing TPT’s captain Fu Li, a cold-
blooded study god.
He was one of the few who wore glasses in the professional circle. The long
and slender golden framed glasses had extremely fine and detailed carvings
on the side. The classic cross markings were particularly conspicuous under
the dazzling stage lights.
Fu Li’s gaze skimmed over the camera, gaining a lot of screams on the
scrolling comments in response.
“When it comes to refined rascals, I only respect Captain Fu!”
“I’m getting down on my knees for this quaking S aura!”
“Daily sense of confusion. Am I chasing e-sports or idols? How come they

all look so good?!”
“Fellow sisters, how about the Li-Star CP?”

The audience couldn’t hear the team chat and could only stare at the
players’ faces and scream.
The professional game fans were concerned, and had been trying to analyze
the situation according to the BP.
Chen Feng: “They banned the shadow thief.”
Wei Xiao: “It’s okay.”
That was to be expected. FTW had played four games in the recent week,
and as long as someone dared to let the shadow thief out, Wei Xiao would
use nine light arcs to teach them how to behave. How could TPT let the
shadow thief out to play?
Chen Feng was pondering over what line-up to use.
This was the meaning behind the sentence that Wei Xiao had said to him
before the game.
When they played against TPT, it was too tiring for the coach. He had to
think about too many things.
You ban one, I ban one, you choose one, I choose one. This seemingly
relaxed BP actually contained countless mysteries.
It was no exaggeration to say that a good BP segment was just as effective

as a chess game when it came to burning the brain.
They had to consider the other side’s routines, fight for a good line-up for
themselves, and also guard against a counterattack from the other side.
After this back and forth, the decision on which hero to ban and take during
the BP segment would only be made at the last second almost every time.
What hero Wei Xiao used was very important for FTW.
As the core of the team, the talent he chose would directly determine the
final line-up of the team.
If he took talents with explosive damage like the shadow thief and hidden
thief, then the team would have to consider how to make up for any
shortfalls in a balanced group battle; if he used talents that tended towards
group fights like the berserker thief or immortal thief, then his teammates
would need to make up for his low damage in the early stages and overall
control.
Wei Xiao’s hero pool was very wide, and there were many talents to choose
from, but…
TPT’s team chat.
Eurostar spoke thoughtlessly as usual, “Quiet can play anything. It’s no use
banning the shadow thief. He’s the one who trained up Asleep’s berserker
thief, and his immortal thief and blood thief are also very good. I was
abused so miserably at his hands yingyingying……”
Fu Li stared at the screen. “He can play anything, but his teammates can’t
cooperate with everything.”
Yes, that was FTW’s current problem.
Quiet and Close were both talent kaleidoscopes.
They could use anything, and they could use everything very well, but this
was a 5v5 game, and the line-ups and routines had to have their own
rhythm. As long as his teammates were restricted to death, even if his hero
pool was as deep as the sea, he would still be limited to taking out only the
fish that remained.
Chen Feng sensed it. “Fu Li is forcing you to take the berserker thief.”
Wei Xiao didn’t say anything.
Chen Feng pondered, “During TPT’s game against 3U, Asleep was targeted
very tightly.”
3U’s berserker thief could be said to be one of the China Glory circle’s
signboards. Even FTW had been defeated by this cooperation back then, but
TPT had gone up despite the difficulties and defeated Asleep’s berserker
thief, landing a heavy blow on 3U.
Now, they wanted to use the same routine on FTW.
Force Wei Xiao to take the berserker thief, then use the same restraint
technique against FTW?
This would be looking down on TPT too much.
As a famous pit excavator in Glory, the pits that came from Captain Fu’s
shovel came one after another, and there were no duplicates. It all depended
on which pit you wanted to jump into.
Chen Feng frowned. “Take the berserker thief?”
Wei Xiao: “Take it.”
He was very curious about the ‘big gift pack’ that Fu Li had prepared for
him.
The author has something to say: Love you all
xiin: happy chinese new year~

Ch143 - You’re FTW’s Quiet, our
miracle soldier.
The BP segment was over. The line-up that both sides had snatched up for
themselves didn’t seem very problematic from a passers-by perspective.
FTW was very good with the berserker thief. Wei Xiao’s crazy berserker
thief had reached a miraculous level, enough to terrify countless teams.
In the last game, the team that was up against FTW had given their first ban
spot to the shadow thief, and their second to the berserker thief. Their desire
for survival was very strong.
Unfortunately, it was impossible to ban all the thieves. Wei Xiao took the
immortal thief, the blood thief…
And still beat people up until they had to call out daddy.
On the surface, TPT’s BP hadn’t targeted Wei Xiao and only focused on the
c-positions, forcing Ning Zhehan to take the ice mage and Yue Wenle to
take the storm hunter.
When these two heroes came out at the same time, it only sent out one
signal––they wouldn’t have enough DPS during team fights.
The ice mage tended towards control and was relatively weak when it came
to team fights; the storm hunter was flexible, but it had a short range, and
it’s damage was all single-target damage, making it more suited for
ambushes or cutting to the back of the group. It was also quite weak in team
fights.
TPT had forced FTW to pick out these two talents, making Wei Xiao’s
choices very limited.
The thief profession had many talent specs. They could hold up the DPS
flag and make up for the shortage from the c-positions, but there weren’t
many talents that could drive team fights.
If he could use nine light arcs, then the shadow thief was one of those
talents, but it had been banned.
Now, the only remaining talent that was powerful enough to do so was the
berserker thief.
Should Wei Xiao take it or not?
If he took it, TPT obviously had a way to deal with it.
If he didn’t take it, then they’d fall into TPT’s trap, because the remaining
talents were a little less compatible with the line-up compared with the
berserker thief. TPT would’ve weakened Wei Xiao without even having to
fight.
There was a pit in front of them, and a pit behind them. This was the
terrible thing about playing against an excavator.
Forcing them into a dead end and making it so that they could only find a
pit to squat in.
Wei Xiao never shrank back like a turtle. Instead of taking other talent specs
that his teammates weren’t used to, it was better to charge straight ahead.
You have your plan, and I have my routines.
He really wanted to give TPT a try.
––If they didn’t even dare to try and break through in the regular season,
then what kind of playoffs would they be able to play?!
Many people were paying attention to this game. RR wasn’t the only team
who’d come to the scene this time; there was also Asleep and Cong Yi.
Cong Yi had gone to FTW directly and asked for a seat on the substitute
bench.
When he got in touch, Brother Liu had been a little stunned, “What?”
Cong Yi: “I’ll help you watch your water dispenser.”
There were water dispensers beside the substitute benches, so the

substitutes also had a nickname––water dispenser watchers.
Xiang Liu, who was busy looking for substitutes every day, was a bit
confused. “About that, we aren’t…” Short on support and jungler players
(conjoined babies).
His little assistant quickly interjected, “Are you coming to watch our game?
That’s fine, how many people are coming?”
Xiang Liu suddenly came back to his senses: F*ck, I’ve been too frightened
by my boss recently, and my thoughts are confused!
Cong Yi was very good at catching details and instantly found a blind spot.
“Is FTW looking for a substitute?”
Xiang Liu had been a manager for many years, and his ability to cope with
emergencies wasn’t praised for nothing. He smiled and said, “Yes, FTW has
always been short on substitutes.”
It was better to admit that frankly than try to cover it up.
Indeed, Cong Yi didn’t think more of it. “Brother Tang really should be
retiring.”
There was not the tiniest bit of doubt about the great demon king’s shoulder.
Xiang Liu was relieved. He quickly went to arrange seats for them.
Cong Yi took Asleep to go and sit on the substitute bench.

When the camera rotated over, Cong Yi smiled and waved hello, and even
helped his captain, who was sleeping on his shoulder, wave his hand, too.
Naturally, this made the scrolling comments explode––
“The relationship between 3U and FTW is really good!”
“These brother teams really live up to their reputation. They can even sit on
each other’s substitute benches.”
“Wuwuwu, the pajamas CP is still very sweet today. My cub can still sleep
so soundly in a noisy place like the arena.”
“Brother Sleep looks very good in casual clothes, the oversized sweater
makes him look more stylish.”
“Look at those legs, if you didn’t have that pair of legs, would you dare to
wear such a big oversized sweater?!”
Chen Feng glanced at them. “Here to watch us make a joke of ourselves?”
“How could that be? We’re here to learn from your experiences.” Cong Yi
smiled slightly, “To see how FTW is going to break through.”
In fact, TPT and 3U’s last game had resulted in 3U winning with a score of
2:1. However, the 3U who’d won the game hadn’t been happy at all, and
had even wanted to beat up TPT until they scrunched up their faces and
cried.
In the second game they played, TPT had released the berserker thief, and
3U had taken it without hesitation. Yet as a result…
They’d been hammered into wooden scraps by TPT.
Winning a regular season game wasn’t very meaningful. What was really
upsetting was having one’s best line-up get beaten into collapse.
What was more painful was that 3U had experienced this twice in a single
regular season (the last time was when their wind thief line-up had been
pushed to the limit by Wei Xiao). 3U, as the first place in their group, was
actually aching all over from the beatings.
Today, FTW and TPT were up against each other. 3U would naturally come
and watch the show.
From another perspective, they could also gain more information about
TPT’s arrangements.
Asleep’s berserker thief was their signboard. They had to get even!
The players had entered the canyon as they chattered.
The game started quietly. The two teams each went through their own
jungle zones, the top laners tested each other out, and vision was provided
appropriately. There was no hint of brewing trouble.
Fu Li was a mid-laner and also the main commander of the team.
The best position for main commander in a team was jungler and support,
followed by the mid-laner.
Fu Li played very steadily in the mid-lane. What really mattered was the
accuracy of his control skills and grasp over the overall situation.
He was the very definition of ‘thinking three steps ahead with every step’.
Wei Xiao spoke, “Mid-lane gank.”
If they didn’t mess with TPT’s mid-laner in a game against them, then how
could they live up to the nickname ‘Excavator’?
Little Ning: “Okay!”
Wei Xiao finished killing the wolf cub near the bottom lane and took
Brother Cai with him as he snuck back to the mid-lane.
There were bushes on both sides of the mid-lane. As long as they paid
attention to their lines of sight, the other side wouldn’t be able to see them
after they snuck into the grass.
Ning Zhehan and Wei Xiao had cooperated much more and now had their
own routines. For example, he would pressure the other side a little when
Wei Xiao was coming over, causing the opponent to have to shrink back
and giving Wei Xiao a chance to hide in the grass. Then, he would pretend
to go elsewhere to provide support so that the other side would come out to
clear their soldier lines. When the other side left the protection of their
tower, death would be waiting for them.
They’d tried and tested this routine repeatedly, and they were often able to
kill off the other side’s mid-laner at the start of the game with this trick.
Just like countless times before, Wei Xiao hid himself in the bushes.
Brother Cai: “I keep feeling as though something is off.”
Wei Xiao didn’t make a sound. He also felt that something wasn’t quite
right.
Ning Zhehan’s acting skills had been practiced for a long time now. Seeing
that his own team were well hidden, he pretended to head for the top lane.
The ice mage’s little legs had just raised up to take a step…
Wei Xiao’s pupils contracted. “Don’t go over there!”
But it was too late. Ning Zhehan was sucked in by a black chain, and his
entire person was pulled over uncontrollably.
Ning Zhehan yelled wildly, “Help me help me help me…” He’d been
controlled and couldn’t use any skills.
The distance between them was short enough that Wei Xiao and Bai Cai
could follow over.
Bai Cai hadn’t even thought about it and had already started rushing over.
He was using the holy priest in this game and had a large amount of heals.
As long as he used his skills and kept up Ning Zhehan’s health, he would be
able to escape and even fight back.
There wasn’t anything wrong with Brother Cai’s judgement. From his
perspective, this decision was very correct. However, from the god’s
perspective, it was…
“FTW’s in big trouble.”
“TPT’s routines are too deep!”
“Fu Li’s homework was done too perfectly. He can completely guess what
FTW is going to do.”
As soon as Brother Cai came out of the grass, Fu Li, who’d been timidly
hiding behind his tower, came out and gave him a charm skill.
Bai Cai: “………………………………”
Wei Xiao’s heart leapt, “Kill the charm mage!”
Fu Li was using the charm mage, a demon with a seductive appearance.
His core skill was charm, and the effect of this skill was to control the target
and have them go wherever he went.
Fu Li was beneath his tower. He directly charmed Brother Cai into heading
to the base of his own tower.
The holy priest didn’t have much health at the start of the game, but even if
it was the giant shaman with a high amount of defense, it still wouldn’t be
able to withstand the repeated hits from the defense tower.
Brother Cai was done for, and Ning Zhehan couldn’t be saved. Wei Xiao
could only take away the charm mage’s life and stop the losses!
Bai Cai had a broader field of vision. He started, “No, Old Wei, don’t
come…”
Wei Xiao’s scythe had already been tossed out at Fu Li.

It was difficult to distinguish if the enchanting demon was male or female,
but it wasn’t anxious after being locked in by the black scythe and even
appeared even more enchanting because of its confinement.
It was a pity that the berserker thief didn’t understand compassion. It used a
backswing and controlled the demon tightly.
Brother Cai saw that he was done for and could only toss all his skills at
Wei Xiao, hoping that he could survive after killing the charm mage.
The moves were extremely fierce, and the charm mage was forcibly killed
from beneath its own tower. At the same time, several system
announcements rang out.
Bai Cai had been killed by the charm mage.
Ning Zhehan had been killed by TPT’s jungler.
The situation was suddenly very tense!
Wei Xiao was now in a frenzied state, but he was under the enemy’s
defense tower and taking damage.
Although TPT’s captain had been offered up as a sacrifice, they’d killed off
two of FTW players and were expecting to take away Wei Xiao’s life as
well.
The commentator: “Quiet’s in a dangerous situation. The two from TPT are
in excellent health and can completely block his way out. Yue Wenle is
pressing on the transmission button, so with the storm hunter on its way,
will FTW continue to fight?”
There was also a lot of discussion in the scrolling comments as various

analysis emperors came out to share their analysis.
The audience didn’t even blink as they watched. It was as though they’d
substituted themselves into the canyon and could feel the blood boiling
tension.
Only TPT’s team chat was very peaceful and healthy.
Eurostar: “Lele’s on his way over.”
Fu Li: “Okay, push the tower.”
Eurostar: “’Kay.”
Although Fu Li was lying on the ground, his voice was still unhurried. The
gorgeous special effects from the screen reflected off the lens of his glasses,
blocking his dark eyes from view.
Yue Wenle arrived at the mid-lane tower to provide support for Wei Xiao
from the back.
Wei Xiao stared at the two from TPT and calculated the cooldown time in
his brain…
“Old Yue, concentrate on the power thief.”
Yue Wenle stepped on raindrops and accurately landed his attacks on TPT’s
jungler.
TPT’s team chat.
Fu Li: “Keep Tang Chen in the top lane. Shaman, give all your totems to the
power thief.”
On the screen, the storm hunter’s attacks landed on the power thief, but
TPT’s shaman’s totems lifted the power thief’s health back up instantly!
Under the stage, Cong Yi stared at the screen and said, “Fu Li must be able
to read minds.”
Chen Feng didn’t say anything.
Watching TPT and 3U’s game combined with the team chat was really
enough to make people’s scalps go numb.
There were many good team commanders, but it was rare for there to be
commanders as exaggerated as Fu Li.
In the fast changing battlefield, no matter how fast spoken languages

prompts were, it still wasn’t enough to catch up with the instinctive
reactions from players themselves.
Because no matter how fast one spoke, it couldn’t be faster than 0.1
seconds. Verbal communication was bound to be shackled by time, and
even a 0.1 second mistake on the battlefield might be enough for the game
results to turn upside down.
However, Fu Li was able to give instructions in advance.
He didn’t have to speak too fast. He just gave instructions ten seconds in
advance.
He’d already told the shaman and power thief how to deal with the situation
even as the storm hunter clicked on the transmission skill.
Even before FTW had taken action, he’d already determined Wei Xiao, Bai
Cai, and Ning Zhehan’s positions and could set up an ambush ahead of
time.
He wasn’t only focusing on the berserker thief. He’d clearly seen through
what the whole team would do.
Planning very carefully with every conceivable possibility taken into

account, this was what he used to dig pits all over the ground.
The group fight in the mid-lane ended there.
Wei Xiao only had a sliver of health left and couldn’t take down the power
thief with him.
Yue Wenle still wanted to continue attacking, but Wei Xiao called out for
him to stop.
Yue Wenle was unwilling, but there was no way to chase after them. If the
other side’s top laner came down to provide support, FTW would suffer a
continuous bloody collapse.
At the start of the game, TPT had traded in Fu Li’s life for Bai Cai, Ning
Zhehan, and Wei Xiao’s three lives, simultaneously also taking down the
bottom lane first tower.
They’d made a big loss!
FTW’s team chat was quiet.
Ning Zhehan’s hands and feet were cold. “I didn’t expect…” I didn’t expect
that my actions would be seen through so clearly.
Wei Xiao stared unblinkingly at the screen. The captain’s words suddenly
came into his ears––
You’re FTW’s Quiet, our miracle soldier.
His eyes lit up, and his chest filled with bursts of heat.
“Don’t be afraid.” Wei Xiao calmed them down softly, “I’m here.”
He was FTW’s miracle soldier.
A miracle soldier couldn’t be seen through completely.
A miracle soldier wouldn’t be afraid of getting led into traps.
A miracle soldier would surely lead the team to a different victory!
While FTW and TPT’s confrontation was at their most scorching moment,
Lu Feng had finished the first round of check ups.
The attending doctor’s eyes brightened when he saw the results.
Lu Feng’s black eyes were heavy. He already didn’t seem to care much
about the results.
The doctor was pleasantly surprised and said, “Lu, today’s check up results
look very good.”
The doctor showed him the scans. “Here… and here, the situation is much
better than before!”
The author has something to say: Hey, Little Xiao, fighting! There’ll be a
surprise after the game (a supersized one)
xiin: YESSSS it’ll be okay~!

Ch144 - Wei Xiao: Who could’ve
known that I would encounter love
on a street corner?
There was no doubt that FTW was in for a tough fight.
On the substitute bench, Asleep had woken up long ago and was staring
intently at the screen.
The camera would occasionally sweep over, stopping on him for a moment.
The youth who was normally lazy and half awake was now leaning forward
in his seat. He wasn’t wearing his team uniform, and his hair had been
arranged casually. His black sweater was very wide, making his shoulders
and waist appear very narrow. His eyes were direct, and his hands were
close together, his index fingers supporting his chin. He looked attentive
and serious.
There was no need to doubt it, and the fans in the scrolling comments
started their shrill screams again.
“It’s Sleep God with his eyes open!”
“I feel that he’s watching Captain Fu. Look at that gaze, that appearance.
it’s the little wolf dog gong that I love!”
“Sorry, my Captain Fu isn’t a shou.”
“Sorry, my Cong Yi never wears green hats.”
“Sorry, he’s clearly staring at Quiet!”

The players were all too good looking. The CP fans really couldn’t be
blamed for getting too into their ships and starting another fight over them.
Of course, compared with the scrolling comments from tens of thousands of

haters, this was just the tip of the iceberg and was quite wholesome in
comparison.
The scrolling comments were already scolding heatedly, “What the hell is
going on with FTW? Laozi put 50,000 betting coins on you, stand the hell
up for me!”
“Haha, I knew that FTW was done for the moment that Quiet took the
berserker thief.”
“What’s going on with FTW? Didn’t they see how TPT messed with 3U?
How dare they come without any countermeasures?”
“His ego must be inflated. He probably thinks that his berserker thief’s
better than Asleep’s.”
“I haven’t liked watching Quiet since a long time ago. Hurry up and mess
up, what’s a newcomer acting so crazy for.”
How the audience was acting didn’t matter, what was important were the
ten players in the field.
The game had gone on for nearly thirty minutes, and TPT was ahead of
FTW by 7000 farm.
What did that mean?
Eurostar, who had the highest farm in TPT, had one more full piece of
equipment than Wei Xiao, who was the one with the highest farm in FTW.
Even Wei Xiao’s farm was so far behind, let alone the farm of the others.
Little Ning had practiced his ice mage a lot recently. Although his mentality
was a little broken, he was still good at freezing people. Other than Fu Li,
he’d basically managed to freeze everyone else.
Oh… He hadn’t frozen Eurostar though. This brat was too good at
surviving. Everyone in his family could die, but he, as a big treasure, had to
continue living. It was unknown what he’d experienced to make him so
afraid of death.
FTW’s state became weaker in the later stages.
It was already bad enough that their operations could be seen through, but
there were also disadvantages in their line-up.
Based on FTW’s line-up that was stronger in the early stages, they’d have
no way to fight once Eurostar was able to stand up fully on his own!
What to do?
Continuing on like this was just like sitting there waiting for death.
This wasn’t Wei Xiao’s style, nor was it FTW’s style!
Wei Xiao took a light breath. “Don’t think about anything. Just fight.”
Since the other side could basically guess what they were doing no matter
what, they might as well just let loose and fight.
If they were going to be overcautious like this, then they might as well roll
up their sleeves and go for it.
Ning Zhehan still felt guilty. “Um…”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry about anything. Just judge the situation according
to your intuition.”
Wei Xiao: “Remember that time when we played against GOQ?”
Ning Zhehan suddenly saw the light. “I remember!”
Wei Xiao: “Find the feeling from that time.”

Ning Zhehan’s eyes lit up. “Okay!”
Everyone could hear his words. Yue Wenle and Tang Chen also understood
him.
In fact, Bai Cai was a little confused. He was used to playing with Wei Xiao
and cooperating with him had already become instinctual, so he couldn’t get
into the same state as everyone else when they played against GOQ.
Later on, Chen Feng had mentioned it during the game replay review that
he’d seen the shadow of Yan Jiang.
At the time, Bai Cai had been puzzled, because he hadn’t experienced it.
No matter how Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle described it, he couldn’t feel
this so-called ‘smooth and free’.
Beneath the stage, Chen Feng leaned back in his chair and relaxed.
Cong Yi noticed it. “It seems that FTW really can break through this game.”
Chen Feng: “It will be hard to turn things around in this match, but they’re
trying.”
As long as it was effective, FTW wouldn’t be afraid of Fu Li’s calculations

in the next two matches!
Cong Yi looked at the screen and could feel a sense of disconnect.
Asleep’s voice was low, “Stiff.”
Others may feel that this statement was vague when they heard it, but Cong
Yi understood. What Asleep was saying was: FTW’s overall state was very
rigid.
Indeed…
In the first half of the game, they could feel the tacit understanding that
FTW had honed over the first half of the regular season, but this tacit
understanding had been completely lost by the end of the game.
They seemed to be back in the same state they’d been in their first game of
the regular season, back in that awkward breaking-in period.
The audience was all swearing, “Stupid FTW, their mentalities have
collapsed!”
“Are they starting to send kills to the other side? If you don’t have any
fighting spirit, then don’t play. What the hell is this.”
“Don’t play around with Laozi’s betting coins!”
“This is the God Q that you guys praise up to the skies. Let’s change his
name to Waste Q, it sounds better.”
All the kings who had loud mouths filled up the scrolling comments. With
that hand speed, they should be able to rush up into the 100 star rankings in
Glory!
In the first game, FTW lost.
In the last group fight, Wei Xiao killed the arrogant and domineering
Eurostar, but Fu Li charmed him and sent him back to the fountain.
In fact, the group fight had started off well. FTW’s farm was only behind by
1000, and there was a chance for them to turn the tables and win the match.
Unfortunately, their losses at the start had been too large, and they were still
trying to find a feel for the pace of the game in the later stage. By the time
they’d achieved some results, TPT had already won the game.
The good thing was…
This was a BO3 game. There was no need to panic after losing a match,
they still had a chance!
Chen Feng came over, pulling down his headphones and attempting to
cheer them up, “Not bad, you guys found a feel for it.”
Ning Zhehan spoke in a whisper, “We lost miserably.”
Wei Xiao stared at the screen. Coach, if they release the shadow thief,
snatch it up.”
Chen Feng’s gaze grew sharp, “Okay.”
On the TPT side.
Eurostar was bold and elated. “5v5 is so satisfying. Just thinking about how
I, Eurostar-star, actually had a chance to smear the grandmaster all over the
ground.”
Fu Li released his mouse and picked up the thermos cup beside him. He
spoke slowly and leisurely, “Ban the berserker thief in the next match.”
Eurostar blinked, “It shouldn’t be to that point…”
Fu Li: “Quiet has some skill.”
It was rare for Eurostar to see such a serious expression on his captain’s
face. “… Let the shadow thief out?”
Fu Li: “Yes.”
Eurostar thought about it, then said, “There isn’t enough sample material.
The nine light arcs aren’t as easy to target.”
Fu Li: “That’s why we need to collect samples.”
The second match started immediately. The BP segment went by faster than
before, and it could be seen that both sides had ideas of their own.
TPT released the shadow thief, and FTW insta-locked it with their first
pick. They weren’t ambiguous about it at all.
The scrolling comments were still kicking up a fuss, “There’s no use letting
out the shadow thief. FTW’s entire state has already collapsed. Can Quiet
even show off nine light arcs?”
“I think it’s unlikely.”
“Fellow brothers, listen to big brother: hurry and bet on TPT winning 2:0,
you’re guaranteed to make a profit!”
There was a guessing and betting channel in Glory. The betting coins had
no real value, but if players saved up, they could use them to trade for game
props. This meant that players would really get into it.
“Okay! Laozi is going to use his life savings and bet on TPT shutting out
FTW!”
“Don’t worry, just wait. You’ll make a fortune.”
There were others who were wailing, “I gave all my wealth to FTW before
the match. Win for me!”
“I’m not betting on the scores, just betting on winning or losing. I don’t care
about anything else, FTW has to win tonight!”
“Wuwuwu, I don’t want my betting coins, I just want my cubs to win the
game!”
The audience watching offsite always deviated from the truth… by a lot!
Everyone was booing FTW, but the experts all knew that FTW was on the
rise!
As soon as the second match began, Wei Xiao said to Bai Cai, “Follow Old
Yue.”
Bai Cai: “Okay.”
Wei Xiao continued, speaking to the others, “Keep the same state from the
last match.”
Ning Zhehan was still a little worried. “Will it work… Every player from
TPT is very strong.”
Wei Xiao: “We’re not weak either.”
Ning Zhehan’s momentum soared up again, “Yeah!”
They weren’t weak either, or rather, it should be said that they were very
strong!
They were FTW, last year’s champion team!
They were the number one team in their group, a team that had won nine
out of their ten games!
Ning Zhehan was instantly injected with chicken blood and filled with
energy.
Fu Li had already sensed the change in FTW after the end of the first
match, and it only became more obvious in this game.
It was quite magical. He’d seen too many FTW games: the ones from the
past seasons, the current games, the ones from the winter training camp, the
ones during the regular season, and even countless training games.
He had analyzed carefully, pondered and dissected every game.
So, he was very clear on the habits of every FTW starter.
For example, how their mid-jungler linkage worked, how their bottom lane
and support began their attacks, and even the way Tang Chen pushed
towers…
With all these things in mind, Fu Li could easily analyze their rhythm and
set up ambushes according to their movements.
They’d done so during the first half of the first game, catching FTW off
guard and causing them to fall into a dangerous situation.
But soon, this team changed.
This ‘change’ was the most subtle thing.

They clearly had a sense of having trained with each other, and clearly had
some stability when it came to their habits, but they were still able to go
back to the state they’d been in at the start of the regular season.
Being able to do this was amazing, but did they think that they could win
against TPT with this?
Too naive.
Wasn’t that just a big pit?
TPT wasn’t afraid of a team that had tacit understanding. How could they
be afraid of a team that had no cooperation?
Fu Li wanted to use this opportunity to test out Wei Xiao’s shadow thief.
Unfortunately, it was only after the game that he understood why FTW
dared to play like this.
Seven minutes into the game, in the bottom lane dragon pit, Fu Li
commanded, “Ambush. The shadow thief will pass by.”
Eurostar: “I’ll hold Lele back.”
Fu Li: “Mm. Old Wu, come with me.”
Wu Si was TPT’s jungler, a very good blue collar jungler. “Okay.”
They squatted in the grass near the dragon pit and avoided being seen.
Sure enough, the shadow thief appeared five seconds later.
Fu Li: “Go.”
Wu Si was using the power thief. He didn’t hesitate to use a ground stab,
wanting to catch the shadow thief and pull him over.
But who could’ve known that the shadow thief would react very quickly? It
moved away from the ground stab and instantly entered stealth mode.
In this game, Fu Li had taken the fire mage. It wasn’t very agile, and it was
also very squishy. He spoke unhurriedly, “Protect me.”
Based on Wei Xiao’s temperament, he would never retreat from a battle

after a first encounter. He would definitely make his way around and aim
for the c-position.
Wu Si was already protecting the fire mage, waiting with a ground stab. As
long as the shadow thief came, he would control him to death.
But Wei Xiao didn’t go. Instead, he headed straight for the ancient creature.
Fu Li: “……”
Wu Si was stunned. “He…”
Fu Li spoke calmly, “Spread apart. He’s starting to stack up damage.”
If he wanted to brush out nine light arcs, he would have to stack up the
damage. These stacks didn’t have to come from enemy heroes. It could also
be built up by hitting jungle creeps.
It was just that the duration of the stacks was very short, and the player had
to be very stable. Otherwise, the stack count would drop, and they wouldn’t
even be able to think about brushing out a high arc count if they couldn’t
build up enough damage and marks.
Wu Si found it astounding. “The wolves are so far away from the dragon.
Does he have time to stack up damage?”
He did.
Fu Li: “As long as he’d long guessed that we’re here, then yes.”
His words had just fallen when nine light arcs exploded across the river.
The huge attack range ensured that the fire mage with short legs wouldn’t
be able to avoid it completely.
Less than one tenth of the total damage landed on Fu Li, but Fu Li’s health
bar fell to the bottom.
Wu Si still had his movement skill and was able to hide further away. He
didn’t lose any health, but…
He’d pulled away from the fire mage!
By the time Wu Si reacted to this, it was already too late.
The shadow thief landed after the light arcs. Its movement skill had just
come off cooldown, and he shifted forward twice, taking away the helpless
Captain Fu’s life.
First Blood!
FTW. Quiet killed TPT.Auroral (Fu Li).
Bai Cai: “Old Wei, beautiful!”
Little Ning reincarnated as a little fanboy. “Brother Xiao, how did you
know that God Li would be there?”
Oh my god, could this be the legendary ‘I predicted your prediction’?
Sure enough, he was a real expert. Amaz…
Ning Zhehan’s worship hadn’t yet finished flowing through his blood when
Wei Xiao answered him, “Accident.”
Ning Zhehan: “???”
Wei Xiao: “I was originally stacking up the damage to give the small
dragon nine light arcs. Who could’ve known that I would encounter love on
a street corner?”
After the game, Fu Li watched the replay along with FTW’s team chat,
“……”
God Li had to drink three cups of black coffee with goji berries.
xiin: that coffee sounds really nasty

Ch145 - He wanted to hug him,
wanted to kiss him, wanted to bring
him hope personally.
The FTW team chat was filled with laughter, and the previous hazy restraint
was swept away.
Bai Cai: “This could only happen to you.”
Although this was a bit different from the scenario Little Ning had come up
with, but… it was still awesome!
Ning Zhehan: “Brother Xiao, badass!”
Wei Xiao was restrained. “It was just luck.”
Everyone was even more amused.
The commentators were stunned by their laughter when the camera

switched to show the FTW players. They went on to say, “It seems that the
atmosphere in FTW is very good.”
“Although they’ve lost one small point, they seem to be dealing well with
the overall situation.”
“I wonder how FTW will break TPT’s strategy in this game. Let’s watch
together!”
The scrolling comments were also murmuring amongst themselves,

“They’re still so happy during a decisive game?”
“Wasn’t it just First Blood? Is that anything to brag about?”

“Could it be that they’re giving up the game and planning to go home
directly with a 0:2?”
“It’s over, it’s over, it wasn’t easy for them to get lucky once like a blind cat
finding a dead mouse. Once their egos get inflated, they’ll be done for
again.”
“Seriously, I don’t think that Quiet’s First Blood was obtained with his eyes
closed.”
Analysis emperors showed up immediately. “Wei Xiao definitely sensed

something. Just think about it, who would start brushing out nine light arcs
for a small dragon?”
“But there was no vision in that spot. How could Wei Xiao know that Fu Li
was squatting there?”
“This jungler of FTW’s really isn’t simple. Not only does he have excellent
operations and a strong sense of awareness, he can even keep up with
Captain Fu.”
A fangirl interjected, “And he’s also very handsome!”
The analysis emperors turned a blind eye to this scrolling comment and
continued to chatter away, “Unfortunately, there’s no way to watch a replay
in the live broadcast, but based on my own memory, I’ve captured three
main points. First of all, Quiet started to stack damage with the wolves.
This distance was very subtle. Look at the line chart; as long as the shadow
thief arrives at this position, goes up, then turns back, he’s bound to be able
to…” (700 words omitted here)
“It has to be said that Quiet is a real and genuine opportunist.”
The scrolling comments were filled with large segments of text; there was
reasoning and explanations everywhere.
The little members of the general audience didn’t quite get it but felt that
they were all very amazing.
When they went back to Glory’s Mic Explosion King later when the team
chat had been released to the public––
The analysis emperors: I’m sorry, I’ve disturbed you. Just let me retire, isn’t
that enough?!
No matter what the truth was, FTW really found a breakthrough in this
game!
There was heavy significance to killing Captain Fu. Not only did it break
their ambush, it had also disrupted the rhythm of TPT’s game.
Although Fu Li could still look at the overall situation and give instructions
and arrangements to his teammates while dead, he’d lost parts of his
‘vision’ after dying. He couldn’t move when he was dead on the ground,
and there were only four TPT members who could move around now. With
only four pieces of ‘vision’, his decisions were bound to be less
comprehensive than they would be if there were five.
At least 700 out of the 800 words of the analysis emperors’ essays were
bullshit, but the last sentence was true.
Wei Xiao was an opportunist.
Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, once he latched onto his

opponent’s throat, he would chase after them relentlessly, hammering TPT
until they were crying with scrunched up faces!
Fu Li had only just resurrected and hadn’t yet come out of the fountain
when a fierce group fight broke out on the bottom lane.
FTW had two reckless players, but the number one position didn’t go to
Wei Xiao. It was Yue Wenle.
God Le had long been unhappy with Eurostar. It was fortunate that this
death fearing thing used to play in the top lane, because now, he’d become
so cowardly he was like a steamed bun.
So what if he was an ADC? ADCs could also play tough!

Yue Wenle hadn’t been able to obtain any advantages in the previous game,
but he managed to catch a few opportunities in this game.
As soon as Wei Xiao came down, he shot at Eurostar like crazy, rolling and
flipping around, breaking through his armor and using basic attacks to take
down half of Eurostar’s health with a swish.
TPT’s support was scared into hurriedly healing him back up, wishing he
could feed his own health to their Eurostar-star.
Eurostar perked up his ears. “I always feel like there’s a grandmaster

nearby.”
His captain said, “Be a bit more confident. Get rid of the ‘feel like’.”
Eurostar: “! “
The shadow thief directly snuck around the back of the tower, using its
shadow attack to change positions, and killed him off easily with basic
attacks.
“Cool!”
“Two kills at the start of the game, and it’s the two c-positions. FTW’s
rising up to heaven in this game!”
“The inherited shadow thief is real, this talent really shouldn’t be released!”
“Quiet!! Mama loves you!! Keep it up!!! Hammer the Li-Star CP until
they’re ill-fated mandarin ducks!”
The Li-Star sisters weren’t happy. ‘There’s no need to step on us like this.
Your own seclusion sisters’ house has already collapsed!”
Um……
The dispute between CPs had always been fruitless since ancient times.
This segment will be cut short.
FTW’s farm was snowballing quickly, relying entirely on pure recklessness.
We heard that your TPT is like a net. Can your net catch a bunch of thorns?
Sorry, any thorn that could get caught in the net simply wasn’t hard enough.
We’ll be tough to the extreme and pierce through your net!
In the last wave, Quiet gave Eurostar-star a very beautiful nine light arcs.
Eurostar wailed loudly, “My flash, invincibility, resurrection armor, and

hidden knife have all been used up!”
So, he could only wait to die.
After Eurostar fell, Fu Li forcibly killed off Tang Chen and Bai Cai.
Brother Cai roared, “Old Wei, get revenge for me!”
The shadow thief stabbed the fire mage in the back. The blood blade
flashed, destroying his soul and taking his life!
Fu Li fell to the ground. TPT had already come to the end of their road in
this game.
Wei Xiao and Yue Wenle went straight to TPT’s crystal alongside the super
soldiers and blew up TPT’s base with guns and blood blades.
Victory!
FTW had pulled the score back!
The score was now 1:1, and the next match would be the real showdown.
Who won and who lost would all depend on this last match.
After two matches was a half-time break. The players stepped down one
after another and went to the backstage lounge.
Chen Feng was waiting for them there. Wei Xiao and the others pushed the
door in and were surprised to find two ‘outsiders’.
Cong Yi greeted them, “Hello, I’m FTW’s substitute Yiyi.”
Yue Wenle: “……” Crunch.
Wei Xiao: “Yiyi? You’re so disgusting.”
Cong Yi: “…………” The names you call out are even more disgusting!
The two people who’d been acting as substitutes on the bench had also
followed them into the lounge.
Brother Sleep leaned against the sofa, half-awake. It was obvious that he’d
been concentrating on watching the game just now and had exhausted all
his energy reserves.
Wei Xiao sat next to him and poked him. “What are you doing here?”
Wei Xiao didn’t need Cong Yi to translate for him. He could chat with
Sleep God for half an hour all on his own, “Don’t think about coveting my
position. Laozi’s strong and healthy and in excellent condition. I don’t need
a substitute!”
He now had a psychological shadow when it came to the word substitute

and would be flustered no matter who it was.
Asleep pried his eyelids open far enough to glance at him. “Win.”
Wei Xiao: “Nonsense. Not only will we win against TPT, we’ll also beat
you guys up until you’re looking for your teeth all over the place in the
playoffs.”
Asleep: “Fart.”
Wei Xiao forcibly misinterpreted Brother’s words, “No, no, no, we’re all
brother teams, how could we beat you up until you’re farts.”
Asleep: “…………”
The whole room of people: “…………”
Little Ning turned his head to look at Cong Yi and found that Sleep God’s
exclusive translator was very calm and even smiling and laughing. He
didn’t seem to show even the slightest intention of helping out his own
captain.
Sure enough… God Yi was black on the inside. Ning Zhehan shivered.
Chen Feng saw that there wasn’t much time left and reminded them, “What
ideas do you have for the next match?”
Wei Xiao: “When faced with Fu Li, you can’t have too many ideas.”
This man was too damned ghostly. It was like that pair of eyes was
equipped with a microcomputer; how else could he ‘predict’ so accurately!
Ning Zhehan echoed him, “Yes yes yes, we can only rely on luck.”
The entire room fell quiet.
Little Ning was confused. “Isn’t that so?”
Wei Xiao was amused. “That’s right, luck is also a kind of strength.”
Chen Feng was too lazy to say too much about it and continued, “Are you
going to take the shadow thief in the next match?”
This was what Chen Feng was worried about.
Wei Xiao didn’t care either way. “If they dare to let it out, we’ll take it.”
Chen Feng was attentive. “Winning the game, but losing in terms of
intelligence.”
Wei Xiao laughed briefly. “What’s there to be scared of? The playoffs are
still a long way away.”
Chen Feng’s eyebrows twisted together.
Wei Xiao took a look at the time and stood up. “As long as we grow fast
enough, he won’t have a chance to calculate our moves.”
In the face of absolute strength, all bells and whistles were nothing but
paper tigers.
After his voice fell, everyone in the whole room couldn’t help but look at
him.
Wei Xiao beckoned. “Let’s go. It’s the last game. I want to win.”
He hadn’t touched his cell phone from the beginning to end. He didn’t dare
look, didn’t dare ask, and didn’t dare to think about it.
All he could do right now was one thing: Win.
Win the game.
Take first place in the group stage.
Wait for the captain’s return!
The third match began.
In the first wave of bans, everyone’s eyes widened.

The game developers also really knew how to stir things up. The guessing
and betting section was very fancy and even let the audience guess which
player would use which talent.
There was doubt over whether or not Quiet would take the shadow thief,
and it had become a hot topic.
80% of the voters felt that he wouldn’t, and the analysis they provided was
very logical––
“He definitely can’t get it. Is TPT stupid? They were hammered so
miserably in the previous game, how would they dare to let out the shadow
thief to Little Lunatic Q again?”
“Even if TPT lets it out, I feel that FTW won’t take it, either.”
“What do you mean?”
“This is a trump card. Take a look at what kind of ghostly team TPT is, if
they show their family wealth twice, do you really think that God Li will be
merciful?”
“That makes sense! This is just a small game in the regular season. If they
lose, it’s just one point and won’t affect either team’s ability to enter the
playoffs.”
“There isn’t much difference between being first in the group and second in
the group. They’re both in the winner group and will be able to abuse the
weak in the first round of the playoffs.”
“I believe you, I believe you, I bet that Quiet won’t take the shadow thief!”
“100,000 betting coins right here. If I lose, I won’t bet again during this
regular season!”
There were also 20% of the voters who guessed that he would take it. As
for these people…
“I don’t care, I just want to see my cub’s nine light arcs.”

“I don’t care, my husband has to win, he must win!”
“Fighting, God Q! Don’t let your sister down!”
The yelling had just turned fierce when the votes for Wei Xiao taking the
shadow thief suddenly increased by two million betting coins.
“Holy shit, where’d this rich person come from?”
“So many betting coins… this is a big move.”
“Who is it???”
“Who else other than my God Yi has so many betting coins?”
At this time, the camera switched to show the substitute bench and landed
on Cong Yi, catching him as he was playing with his cell phone.
The scrolling comments: “…………………”
Glory had two betting coin emperors. One was Fu Li, which wasn’t
surprising. Following this man, who could calculate three steps with every
step in the canyon, was the right choice.
As for the other one, it was 3U’s vice-captain––Cong Yi.
This fellow was low-key and didn’t reveal anything, but he always went
against the trend and turned the tables every time.
Like this time…
Everyone was already certain that Wei Xiao wouldn’t take the shadow thief,
but he’d smashed millions down on the guess that he would take it.
Many players panicked…
Holy shit, was it too late to change their bets now?!

It was too late, because BP had already started, and the betting coins
interface was locked.
TPT banned the berserker thief with their first ban, banned the immortal
warlock with their second ban, banned the gold hunter with their third
ban…
“F*ck, TPT really didn’t ban the shadow thief!”
It was now FTW’s turn to snatch up a talent. Wei Xiao was first and clicked
accurately on the shadow thief. He’d already locked the talent in within the
first second.
The vast majority of betting coins players, “…………………….”
Shit, they were bankrupt ahhhhhhhh!
Cong Yi looked at his account that now had over six million and smiled
calmly.
Sigh, for professional players like them, they already had too much of these
kinds of game props. It was meaningless to have more betting coins, but…
Looking at it made him happy.
As early as during FTW’s second match, Lu Feng had already finished his
physiotherapy for the day. The check-up results from earlier had also come
out.
The doctor in charge was happier than he was. His pen landed on the report,
and he went over the data with him in detail, one by one.
Lu Feng sat beside him quietly, polite and attentive, listening carefully
without missing a word.
Finally, the doctor slapped the board. “Persist with treatment! There will be
results!”
Lu Feng calmly thanked him and stood up to leave the hospital.

It was a sunny day outside. The sun shone down from the sky, covering
everything. Lu Feng’s fingertips were trembling.
Spring was already here.
But he hadn’t felt the budding warmth until today.
Lu Feng pulled out his cell phone and started up the live broadcast for the
competition.
The scene that entered his eyes was the scene of victory. A huge ‘Victory’
that belonged to FTW.
The camera panned to the contestant seats, where his FTW were all
brimming with wide smiles.
Lu Feng pressed the pause button.
The screen stopped moving.
Wei Xiao was still sitting in the e-sports chair, a smile on the corner of his
lips, but it couldn’t cover a faint trace of worry in his dark eyes.
No one noticed, no one understood.
Only Lu Feng… knew what he was thinking about.
The emotions that surged up instantly made his heart soften and melt.
He couldn’t wait. He couldn’t even wait for another second.
He wanted to hug him, wanted to kiss him, wanted to bring him hope
personally.
FTW’s last game against TPT had been very tense and anxious.
FTW had finally ended the game with a brilliant nine light arcs.
When shaking hands, Fu Li stared at Wei Xiao. “See you in the playoffs.”
Wei Xiao: “Next time, it’ll be 2:0.”
Fu Li smiled slightly, “Okay.”
They’d see who would 2:0 the other party in the playoffs!
The joy of winning the game after losing the first match was indescribable.
Little Ning was all kinds of excited, hooking his arm around Yue Wenle’s
shoulders, incredibly happy and proud.
Chen Feng shot him a look but didn’t say anything out loud. Even so, his
meaning was conveyed: You’ll be crying when we review the replay.
FTW’s great hero, the Wei Xiao who’d led the whole team to win the last
match in the game, was finding it difficult to smile.
Bai Cai noticed it. “What’s the matter, daddy shadow thief?”
Bai Cai glanced at the cell phone he was holding tightly and understood in
his heart. “Go and report the good news to the captain. I’ll cover for you.”
He thought that Wei Xiao wanted to have a sweet moment.
After all, winning against TPT was something worth showing off.
The Brother Cai who’d been solo from birth felt a little choked.
Wei Xiao answered, “Mm.”
He took his cell phone with him and found a quiet place.
After they’d finished the game, gone through the interview process, and
eaten something backstage, it was already 12:30PM.
The captain must have already finished with his check-up.
Why hadn’t he sent him a message?

Were the results bad?
Wei Xiao’s eyelashes trembled, and the joy of winning the game
disappeared without a trace.
Instead of texting, he made an international call.
There was a busy tone coming from the other side––Sorry, the number you
dialed can’t be connected for the moment.
Wei Xiao’s heart pounded. He was a little flustered.
Sure enough, the results must be bad.
Wei Xiao suppressed the cold that swept over his whole body and sent Lu
Feng a message, “Captain, I won.”
After he sent it out, nobody replied to him right away. Wei Xiao’s eyes
stung, and he had to hold back tears, “It’s okay, it’s okay no matter what.
With me here, FTW will always win.”
Although I really want to fight shoulder to shoulder with you, it doesn’t

matter––I’ll guard FTW.
The author has something to say: It’s coming, a big gift bag.
xiin: hey everyone, i will be taking a week off from posting after this
chapter. my RL work has gotten really busy due to the Chinese New Year
break and i’ve been basically doing nothing but working, sleeping, and
eating @[email protected] updates will resume on the 21st/22nd of Feb~
Ch146 - Lu Feng bowed his head
and kissed him.
He waited for a while but still didn’t get a reply.
Wei Xiao glanced at the time and could only go back to the lounge.
They had to pack up and return to the base. He couldn’t make everyone
wait such a long time for him.
He pushed open the door and walked in. Bai Cai glanced over, originally
planning to tease him secretly, but he then saw that the corners of his eyes
were a little red.
Brother Cai: “……” What was the situation? Why was he crying after
winning the game?
Wei Xiao was afraid that he would notice and turned his face away to talk
to Ning Zhehan.
Brother Cai: This cover up couldn’t be more obvious.
There were many people in the lounge, and it wasn’t convenient for him to
ask about it. He could only continue to discuss the game just now.
In the van, Brother Cai sat down beside Wei Xiao very naturally.
Wei Xiao looked down at his cell phone from time to time absent-mindedly.
Bai Cai lowered his voice and asked, “What’s the matter? Did you fight?”
Fight with the captain? Little Lunatic Wei would actually fight with the
captain? How did they fight?
Brother Cai’s pitiful brain really couldn’t imagine it.
Wei Xiao: “No.”
After saying this, he felt that he hadn’t stressed it enough and emphasized,
“I wouldn’t fight with the captain.”
Bai Cai peeked at him. “Then what’s the deal with your expression that
looks like you’re about to cry?”
After two seconds of silence, Daddy Wei turned his head away coolly.
“Who’s about to cry?”
Wei Xiao threatened him, “Do you believe that daddy won’t hammer you
until you’re about to cry!”
Bai Cai rolled his eyes at him. “Laozi’s too lazy to pay attention to you.”
Wei Xiao ignored him and turned his head to the window, staring out at the
street lights.
The greenery in S City was getting better and better. The camphor trees by
the side of the road were well illuminated even late at night, and the dense
branches and green leaves looked even more beautiful than they did during
the day.
Wei Xiao looked outside in a daze and thought of the garden in the base.
Spring had really arrived. The magnolias were blooming, one beautiful
white flower blossoming after another, and the purple plum trees were also
covered with small cloud-like flowers…
There had clearly been none of that when the captain had left.
Wei Xiao lowered his eyelashes. When the captain came back, it would be
about time for those beautiful flowers to fall.
During the trip all the way back to the base, his cell phone never made a
sound.
It was already so late, and they naturally wouldn’t do the game replay now.
Chen Feng told them to tidy up their things and go to sleep, “Tomorrow is
Monday. There’s no game, so get some proper rest.”
They’d once again ushered in the ‘off-season’ that came once a week.
Although it was short, it also allowed them to take a slight breather.
Wei Xiao slowly went up the stairs and threw himself onto the bed after he
entered his room.
Soybean had just woken up. It whined as it ran up to him.
Wei Xiao rubbed its doggy head and asked it, “Why is he ignoring me?”
Soybean stared at him with its big eyes. “Ao!” Daddy, what are you talking
about?
Wei Xiao patted it on the head. “What are you ‘ao’-ing for!”
Soybean sensed that he was in a bad mood and whined slightly, pushing its
head against him.
Spring had arrived. Not only were the flowers blooming, dog fur was also
flying everywhere like crazy.
Wei Xiao was forced to eat a mouthful of dog fur and was filled with
disdain for it. “Go over there, go over there…”
However, Brother Soy was a real son and couldn’t be driven away or beaten
up. Other than being hugged to sleep, it was useless everywhere else.
Wei Xiao had originally thought that he wouldn’t be able to sleep, but after
washing up and collapsing into bed, he soon fell into dreamland.
He was too tired.
During this past week, he’d always been as taut as a string. In the moment
where it was all over, he was thoroughly tired out.
FTW had won against TPT.
He’d won.
But what about the captain…
What exactly did he have to do, in order… in order for the captain to get
better.
Feelings of helplessness and powerlessness all swarmed into his heart,

pressing down on him until he couldn’t breathe.
Wei Xiao had nightmares all night, one after another, absurd pieces and
short scenes that were both fragmented and maddening––
The magnolia flowers in the base hung suspended like lotus flowers out of
the water, hanging alone on the branches. A gust of wind blew over, and the
white petals fell, landing on the ground, on the pedestrians’ shoulders,
drifting in the cold air.
Lu Feng stood beneath the magnolia tree and spoke to him in a light voice,
“I’ve stopped physiotherapy.”
Wei Xiao felt like he’d been struck with lightning, shivering with cold.
Lu Feng apologized to him, “I’m sorry, I’ve disappointed you.”
Wei Xiao woke up from the nightmare.
It was dark in the room. He sat up under the dark gray quilt, his short hair
damp with sweat, sticking to his pale face. A drop of sweat slid down along
his temples and landed on his cold jade-like clavicle with a distinct sound.
Half a beat later, he pulled his knees up, clutching at his hair with both
hands and squeezing his eyes shut.
There was no sound, only a slight trembling along his back.
Don’t do this…
Please don’t…
He didn’t have parents and had lost his grandmother. The only thing he
wanted was Lu Feng.
Don’t bully him anymore.
Please stop bullying my captain.
Nightmares came and went quickly.
After he pulled open the curtains and saw the bright sunshine outside, Wei
Xiao’s mood became much better.
He went to take a shower, then went downstairs to look for something to

eat, having basically tossed the broken and fragmented segments of the
dream to the back of his head.
Wei Xiao bit down on a small fork and ate bites of watermelon on and off,
his left hand gently sliding over his cell phone.
There were no missed calls, no messages.
There was nothing at all.
Wei Xiao looked at the time and couldn’t help giving Lu Feng a call.
It was still the same busy tone…
What was going on?

Wei Xiao couldn’t continue eating anymore. No matter how sweet the
watermelon was, it tasted of nothing when it entered his mouth.
He frowned and couldn’t help sending out another message, “Captain?”
It was still like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no response.
It was already eleven o’clock in the evening over there. Hadn’t the captain
returned to his hotel yet?
He was in a foreign country. Nothing should’ve happened to him, right?
Wei Xiao’s heart clenched, and he grew flustered.
What to do?
Yuan Ze!
Wei Xiao slid his finger across his cell phone, pulling up Yuan Ze’s contact
information.
Just then, a strange number called in.
Wei Xiao was startled and picked up the call, “Hello?”
There was a small pause from the other side before the voice he yearned for
transmitted over, “You’re awake?”
Wei Xiao’s heart, which had jumped all the way up to his throat, instantly
fell back to its original spot and calmed down. “How come I couldn’t get
through to you the whole time?”
Lu Feng’s tone was abashed, “I lost my cell phone.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
HIs captain who was meticulous when handling affairs and never made
mistakes had actually lost his cell phone?
Wei Xiao was very surprised, but he also felt that it was strangely cute. The
bitterness that he’d suppressed all night became sugar, and he couldn’t help
being happy. “Spending money to avert disaster, captain, don’t cry.”
It was over. What should he do about the fact that he found the situation
funny? His captain, who’d lost his cell phone, must be very anxious and
worried, and he didn’t know how long it would take to set everything back
up again.
What Wei Xiao hadn’t noticed was that the call came from a domestic
phone card.
If Lu Feng was abroad, then why would he pick up a domestic phone card?
Lu Feng’s voice was a little tired, “Yesterday’s game was great.”
Wei Xiao had been praised for a whole day and night, but what he wanted
to hear most was this sentence from Lu Feng. He spoke with restraint, “It
was alright, we managed to cobble together a win.”
Lu Feng laughed lightly, “Don’t let Fu Li hear you.”
Wei Xiao bragged, “I’m not scared of saying it to his face!”
Lu Feng: “Not afraid that he’ll plot against you?”
Wei Xiao: “I’m afraid that he won’t!”
The fatigue that Lu Feng had accumulated after 12 hours of tossing and
turning was swept away by his clear voice, “Where are you?”
Wei Xiao’s ears were itchy, and his mouth moved faster than his heart, “In
the dining room, but I can go upstairs immediately if you require coaxing to
sleep services.”
Wei Xiao licked his lower lip briefly and seduced him deliberately, “Do you
require my services? Boyfriend.”
Lu Feng looked out the window at the large stretch of magnolia flowers and
breathed in lightly, “Yes.”
Wei Xiao jumped up. “Wait for me.”
He was about to go upstairs immediately, but Lu Feng stopped him, “Come

out for a while.”
Lu Feng could see his figure through the window. He spoke in a low voice,
“Outside the base.”
Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment. His heart leapt up suddenly and
almost stopped.
He didn’t know how he left the dining room, didn’t know how he made it
through the living room, and didn’t know how he rushed out through the
villa’s automatic door.
The spring breeze alternated between cold and warm.
It was cold enough to make one shiver in the morning, but was soft enough
to send one into a trance at noon.
A burst of wind carrying the scent of flowers blew through. Large white
petals drifted down with the wind, falling gently on the man’s shoulders.
His black trench coat stretched down to his calves, the legs contained inside
were long and straight, and the first button of his dark shirt was loose,
making the curve of his neck and jaw all the more attractive.
He stood there amidst the white flowers and gentle breeze, but all of it
couldn’t compare to the faint smile at the corners of his mouth.
Wei Xiao was dazed and tried to blink.
Lu Feng called out to him softly, “Little Xiao.”

It was as though a switch was turned on. Wei Xiao rushed over and hugged
him hard, “Cap…” The word captain crowded his throat, and he couldn’t
speak at all.
Lu Feng printed a kiss on his ear. “Mm.”
Wei Xiao felt as though he’d just been electrocuted. He released his hands
and looked at him. “You…”
Lu Feng bowed his head and kissed him.
Wei Xiao: “!”
He accidentally bumped into the magnolia tree. The tree wasn’t very sturdy,
and more magnolia petals shook loose, drifting down like a snowfall in
spring.
Their lips and teeth entangled, and Wei Xiao’s brain was filled with a
buzzing sound. He couldn’t think of anything at all.
He wrapped his arms around Lu Feng’s neck and tried to kiss him back.
After missing him for so long, waiting for him for so long, the person he’d
missed every night and every day had appeared in front of him.
Even if it was a dream, he was also willing to immerse himself in it.
They kissed and hugged. The two people who were panting for breath
couldn’t let go of each other.
Until the sound of the husky drifted over from the distance.
Lu Feng pulled Wei Xiao with him to hide deep in the garden.
Wei Xiao gasped, “Captain…”
Lu Feng’s index finger pressed against his reddened lips. “Don’t make a
sound.”
Wei Xiao wrapped his lips around his finger.
Brother Cai was walking Soybean outside.
Bai Cai had been too tired yesterday and had gotten up later than usual. In
fact, Soybean had already gone out to run around in the morning, but
Brother Soy had become very accustomed to the walks and now had a habit
of looking for its Uncle Cai every day. So when it had seen Bai Cai coming
down the stairs, it had brought over its dog leash for him.
Bai Cai: “……” Alright then, he really lost to this father and son duo.
Fortunately, the base was big enough. Brother Soy was used to first running
headlong towards the left and didn’t notice its two fathers.
Lu Feng listened to the sounds, and after making sure no one was there, he
held Wei Xiao’s hand and ran to the villa.
Wei Xiao followed him. He wasn’t afraid to run to the ends of the earth as
long as they could hold hands like this.
When they finally made it back to Wei Xiao’s bedroom and closed the door
behind them, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Wei Xiao panted, “Why are we acting like thieves?”
Lu Feng looked at him. “I came back secretly.”
Wei Xiao was a little stunned. His heart that was overflowing with
sweetness emptied out slightly, and he thought of his dream.
Lu Feng was still talking, “Don’t make it public. It’s not good for them to
know.”
On one hand, explaining it wouldn’t be convenient, and on the other hand, it

would cause a lot of trouble if the news was leaked out.
The smile on Wei Xiao’s lips faded. He lowered his eyelashes, stared at his
toes, and asked, “Why did you fly back so suddenly?” If he was avoiding
people like this, it should mean that he hadn’t stopped treatment. So, why
had he come back?
Lu Feng pulled out the check up document like performing a magic trick.
“I wanted to show it to you personally.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were fixed on the paper. In the next second, he practically
snatched up the thin piece of paper and brought it closer to him.
Lu Feng didn’t say anything. He just looked at him.
Wei Xiao opened his eyes wide as he looked at the report. He didn’t even
waste time blinking and only hated the fact that his English wasn’t fluent
enough for him to read it at a glance so that he could clearly understand
what the results were in the shortest possible time.
Lu Feng explained, “There’s been a turn for the better. If I persist for
another month, it will basically recover.”
There was a rustle.
A huge tear dropped down onto the thin piece of paper that held many
creases.
Lu Feng hadn’t taken anything with him when he flew back from North
America. He’d even had his cell phone stolen from him when he was at the
airport.
All he had left with him was his airplane ticket, his ID, some cash, and the
check up report.
He’d kept it against his chest for 12 hours just so that he could bring it back
for Wei Xiao to see.
Wei Xiao saw it, saw it clearly, and understood it clearly.
His tears kept flowing, but he couldn’t bear to put it down.

Lu Feng was distressed. “It’s alright, it’s…”
He hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Wei Xiao close his eyes and kiss
the report gently.
His expression was almost pious
There was a bang.
Lu Feng could hear the sound of his own heart beating.
He whipped away the tearstained report.
Wei Xiao looked up blankly.
Lu Feng threw the thin sheet of paper aside, pressed him up against the
door, and kissed him on the lips.
It wasn’t gentle, it wasn’t restrained. It was rough as all the feelings that had
been suppressed for a long time poured into the kiss.
The author has something to say: Hehe
xiin: surprise!
Ch147 - He just wanted to keep the
captain hidden in his room like
this...
Wei Xiao couldn’t resist at all, but even if he was dizzy from the lack of
oxygen, he couldn’t bear to push Lu Feng away.
Finally, it was Lu Feng who let him go first.
Wei Xiao leaned against the door, gasping for breath, but it didn’t stop him
from talking nonsense, “Captain, hold me up, I can’t stand steady.”
Then, he put Lu Feng’s hands on his own waist.
The string that had already been stretched to the limit suddenly snapped.
Lu Feng held him by the waist and lifted him up.
Wei Xiao: “Ah!”
He pressed down on Lu Feng’s right shoulder, his eyes wide with fright. He
wanted to move, but was afraid of hurting Lu Feng’s left shoulder that had
only just started recovering…
Lu Feng took a few steps, then threw him down onto the bed. Wei Xiao fell
into the quilt, then watched as Lu Feng bodily pressed him down.
“Cap-captain…” His voice was as soft as a kitten’s.
Lu Feng leaned over and bit down on his pale neck. It wasn’t light or heavy,
but it gained him Wei Xiao’s low moan in response.
This made things even worse. Lu Feng pulled aside his loose t-shirt, and
fine kisses rained down.
Wei Xiao’s body trembled slightly. He was both obedient and nervous,
unconsciously biting down on his lower lip and suppressing his voice.
Lu Feng: “Call out to me.”
Wei Xiao’s heart thumped, his eyes lustrous and shining. “Captain…”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
His low voice was so sexy it turned him into a mess. Wei Xiao really hadn’t
known that he could be so sensitive.
His unfocused eyes slowly focused, and Wei Xiao’s expression was a little
slack.
Lu Feng kissed him on the forehead. “Does it feel good.”
Wei Xiao’s throat was very dry. “Yes.”
Lu Feng’s pair of black eyes looked straight into his own. “Do you want
more?”
Wei Xiao nodded dazedly, as though bewitched.
And then…
“Wuwuwu.”
“Captain…”
“No, don’t…”
By the time he was soaking in the bathtub, Wei Xiao felt that he’d already
died from shame.
Why the hell had he cried?

His tear glands were too developed!
There was nothing to cry about.
But…
As soon as he thought back, his scalp felt numb, and his entire body
trembled.
He quietly sank down into the water, leaving only his eyes above the water,
and then…
“Shit, I only cared about feeling good myself. The captain…” Wei Xiao
came out of the bathtub with a splash.
Lu Feng was in the shower, and Wei Xiao walked in naked just like that.
Wei Xiao’s guts were as big as the sky when he went in, but after he saw
him, he blushed all the way to the tips of his ears. “Captain…”
He looked straight at the place that he shouldn’t look at.
Lu Feng was already trying to hold back. Now, he just felt that all his blood
was concentrated in that one place.
Wei Xiao’s throat was dry. He swallowed, “Um, why are you so big…
wu… mm…”
Don’t ask. If you ask, then Wei Little Xiao ended up crying again.
Only after both of them were slightly satisfied did they cuddle together in
bed to chat.
Wei Xiao didn’t want to talk. His mouth hurt.
Lu Feng’s heart ached for him. “I told you not to make trouble.”
Lu Feng kissed him. “Be good.”
Wei Xiao pressed him down with his body and bit his neck.
Lu Feng smothered a laugh.
Wei Xiao looked at the tooth marks he’d left behind and felt satisfied. “Next
time, I’m also going to take a long, long time…”
He was so quick every time, but the captain was so slow. He was really
suffering losses!
Lu Feng rubbed his hair. “Okay.”
Wei Xiao’s desire for victory rose up again. “I can last for a long, long
time!”
Lu Feng stared at him. “Well, want to try it now?”
Wei Xiao wilted. “No way, if we do it again, even eating deer antlers won’t
be enough for me to recover.” It was too shameful that his kidneys were so
deficient it made his legs soft!
The two of them cuddled together. After listening to the other party’s
heartbeat for a while, Wei Xiao couldn’t help himself again, “You could’ve
just sent over the report for me to look at. Why did you come back?”
Worry reared its head after happiness passed by. This journey wasn’t very
far and only took a day and a night for a return journey, but even without
considering the wasted time, it was also too tiring on the traveler.
Lu Feng liked this kind of feeling where he could kiss him just by bowing
his head. “Missed you.”
So, he had wanted to come back no matter how far it was or how
troublesome it was.
Wei Xiao couldn’t keep the corners of his lips from curving up. His heart
was sweeter than if it had been smeared in honey. “I missed you too.”
After saying so, he pecked Lu Feng’s mouth.
Lu Feng refused to let him leave and pressed down on the back of his head
to kiss him back.
There was no way for the two of them to hold a conversation. They
obviously had a lot to say, but when they saw each other, they just wanted
to kiss, hug, and do some shameless things.
In fact, there wasn’t any need to say too much.
This had been a depressing and painful week for Wei Xiao. How could it
not be the same for Lu Feng?
His shoulder injury was a sickness that lived in the hearts of both people. If
it couldn’t be cured, then neither of them would be let off.
When Lu Feng watched the Wei Xiao who was battling in the competition
arena, all he had felt was pain that cut at his skin.
His days and nights, his struggle and hard work, his tears and sweat, they
were all knives that were stabbing into Lu Feng’s body.
One game after another. Wei Xiao shouldered this heavy responsibility that
was as big as a mountain on his thin shoulders and watching it made Lu
Feng’s heart hurt.
Wei Xiao longed for him to get better. How could he not want himself to get
better as well?
In the first three years, for the sake of FTW, for the sake of the people who
supported him, for the sake of proving something, he’d pushed on until now
without paying attention to anything else.
He’d originally thought that he’d be satisfied as long as he could win the
global championship this year and could retire, but…
Wei Xiao had appeared.
New desire seeped into his blood and bones, kindling new hope.
Not only did he want to win the championship this year, he also wanted to
accompany Wei Xiao in continuing down this path.
In this short e-sports career, he hoped that he could walk to the end with
him, side by side.
It was too hard being alone.
Lu Feng knew what it was like, so he didn’t want to leave Wei Xiao alone
in the competition arena.
Wei Xiao started to ask about everything in a rambling manner.
For example, captain, your luck was really good for you to be able to book
a ticket on the day of the flight.
Lu Feng didn’t explain. In fact, his flight ticket had been reserved as early
as last week. He would’ve come back no matter what the results were. The
only difference was whether or not he would’ve gone back to North
America afterwards.
Wei Xiao continued, “You didn’t send me a message before you left. I was
so anxious.”
Lu Feng explained, “You were still playing when I left. I was worried that
you might’ve given your cell phone to someone else.”
It would’ve been very troublesome if his message was seen. By the time he
arrived at the airport, saw that the time was about right, and wanted to send
a message to Wei Xiao, he discovered that he’d lost his cell phone.
Wei Xiao understood what he meant and said in a small voice, “I had a
nightmare last night.”
Lu Feng’s heart melted. He hugged him. “I’m sorry.”

Wei Xiao breathed in lightly, “… I dreamt that you came back.”
Lu Feng listened. “Mm?”
Wei Xiao thought back to that dream, and his heart felt a pain that was like
it was being burned. “Really, I dreamed that you were standing under the
magnolia flowers and told me that you’d stopped the treatment. You also
told me that it couldn’t be cured…” His voice choked.
Lu Feng’s heart ached so much it was a mess. He wanted to comfort him

yet also couldn’t say anything, because this dream––
If the results from this week’s treatment really had turned out to be bad,
then he really would’ve given up and come back to accompany him to
finish the final games.
Wei Xiao buried himself in his arms. Lu Feng kissed the top of his hair and
coaxed him, “It’s alright, I’ll still be getting proper treatment.”
For Wei Xiao to have this dream meant that he’d been aware of his mood.
Even if Lu Feng didn’t say anything, even if they were thousands of miles
apart, Wei Xiao still knew what he was thinking.
Dreams reflected reality to a certain extent. This reflection wasn’t only in

Wei Xiao’s mind.
Wei Xiao muttered for a while, then looked up at him with a pair of bright
eyes, “I didn’t expect that you would really come back, and actually come
back with good news!”
Lu Feng smiled as well. “Mm.”
Wei Xiao leaned in to kiss him again.
Wei Little Xiao was always the one to start things, and he was also the one
who asked for mercy.
Unfortunately, his body might beg for mercy, but his mouth would still be
very honest the next time.
As they chatted, they slowly came to the problem of the lost cell phone.
Lu Feng comforted him. “I put in a request to destroy all the data on it as

soon as it was lost.”
After logging into his account directly, he could format all the information
on his cell phone remotely. With that, he wouldn’t have to worry about
leaking any information, and he’d already asked Xiang Liu to recover his
cell phone number.
Wei Xiao was relieved, but he began to worry about other things. “When
will you go back?”
Lu Feng: “I’ll stay for two days.”
Wei Xiao knew the score, but he still couldn’t hide his disappointment. “It
just so happens that there’s no game over these few days.”
Lu Feng looked at him. “You don’t need to train?”
Wei Xiao was shocked. “What time is it!”
Coincidentally, the sound of the door lock being turned came in from
outside. “Old Wei, are you not awake yet? Aren’t you playing in the
training match this afternoon?”
Wei Xiao: “!!!”
Bai Cai had the key to Wei Xiao’s bedroom. After all, he had to come and
pick up Brother Soy; how could he get in without a key? If he had to wake
up Wei Xiao every time, he’d end up in a fight every time.
Fortunately, Wei Xiao’s room was a suite. There was a living room outside,
which meant that stepping through the door didn’t mean that everything
could be seen with a glance.
Wei Xiao hurriedly got out of bed and locked the bedroom door.
Bai Cai heard the sound of movement, “What? Why’re you locking the
door?”
Wei Xiao pulled on his clothes as he spoke, “I’m not wearing any clothes.”
Bai Cai tsked, “There isn’t…”
As he spoke, he remembered that Beast Wei was now a gay man, and he
should be a little more serious.
As soon as Wei Xiao heard the start of this sentence, he knew that no good
words could come out of his vegetable’s mouth. He reacted even faster than
Brother Vegetable and interrupted him directly, “Have some self-respect,
Laozi’s in a relationship!”
Bai Cai: “……” Bah!
Brother Vegetable couldn’t go in. He stood guard outside and muttered,

“Hurry up. The coach is going to skin you if we’re late.”
Wei Xiao looked at the captain hidden in his room and couldn’t help
making a bratty remark, “I’m willing to lose a layer of skin if it means that I
can stay with you a bit longer.”
He’d spoken in a low voice, but Brother Cai still heard a bit of it, “What?”
Wei Xiao would speak words of love to Lu Feng, but it was all curses when
it came to Bai Cai, “Get lost, Laozi’ll go downstairs in a moment!”
Bai Cai didn’t think much of it. “You’re just gay, yet you’re making it all
like you’re a young girl from a noble family.” He left after disdaining him.
Wei Xiao let out a breath of relief after blasting away Brother Cai. He
turned back to say to Lu Feng, “Get some sleep.”
Lu Feng was still undressed, the dark gray quilt covering his lower body
from the waist down. His well-built body was outlined by the light, making
Wei Xiao unable to move his gaze away.
Wei Xiao felt his eyes heat up from looking and knelt down on the bed to
kiss him again.
Lu Feng held him around his waist, his warm fingertips scalding the tip of
his heart.
Wei Xiao pressed a kiss onto his shoulder. “Wait for me.”
Lu Feng: “Go.”
Wei Xiao turned back repeatedly with each step, speaking again just before
he was about to go out the door, “Captain…”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved. “Is this like keeping a mistress in a love nest?”
Wei Xiao slipped away after that sentence. His heart was as delighted as
could be!
The captain was back, and he’d come back just for him.
Nobody knew that he’d come back, and this was a secret between the two
of them.
In fact, telling Bai Cai wasn’t a big deal. After all, Brother Cai had known
about the two of them since a long time ago and at most, he’d just be
shocked. Nothing else would happen.
But Wei Xiao didn’t want to tell him.
Hiding the captain in his room like this without showing anyone, without
anyone knowing, was really too… wonderful!
Wei Xiao practically floated as he made his way downstairs. He was full of
praise when he saw Brother Cai squeezing watermelon juice, “Mornin’.”
Bai Cai rolled his eyes. “To hell with your ‘morning’.”
Wei Xiao was smiling like a fox as he went over to wait for his watermelon
juice. “Hurry up, I’m thirsty.”
Bai Cai: “Laozi isn’t squeezing it for you. If you want to drink juice, then
go to the side and get it yourself.”
Wei Xiao’s elbows came down on the board, his eyebrows brimming with
his happiness. “You don’t like drinking watermelon juice.”
A cup of juice came out. Wei Xiao snatched it up, tilted his head back, and
gulped down half of it in one go.
Brother Cai was angry and opened his mouth to scold him, and then… his
eyes opened wide.
Holy shit.
Brother Cai went blind.
Wasn’t that a hickey on Wei Xiao’s neck?!
Brother Cai’s heart thumped violently. He panicked.
No way, the captain wasn’t here. Was Wei Xiao…
F*ck!
Could it be that this beast had given the captain a green hat???
The author has something to say: Cough… Glory’s number one worry king.
Ch148 - Tell me, who is the wild
man in your room?
In fact, Lu Feng hadn’t left a mark too high up. There were just a few
hickies near the bottom of his neck.
The lines of Wei Xiao’s body were particularly good, both slender and
flexible, and his two collarbones were especially sexy when the two of them
were moving together, inviting others to want to kiss them.
Lu Feng knew how high the collar of their team uniform was, which was
why he’d marked him so fearlessly.
Wei Xiao wouldn’t have been exposed if he hadn’t been drinking

watermelon juice.
However… Brother Cai’s eyes were penetrating and understood it clearly

with a look. He’d already come up with a 300 word analysis in his mind.
Terrible!
Too terrible!
No wonder Wei Xiao had gotten up so late. No wonder Bai Cai hadn’t been
allowed into the room. No wonder he was floating like this when he came
downstairs.
He……
Bai Cai struck himself so thoroughly with lightning that he was charred on
the outside and crispy on the inside.
No way, that couldn’t be! He drove all these messy thoughts out of his
mind––he didn’t believe that Wei Xiao was such a person.
Although he was a living and breathing beast, it wasn’t to the point where
he would do such a beastly thing!
The captain had only been gone for a month, yet he’d already found a new
sweetheart?!
It was impossible, it was impossible! Even his straight man’s eyesight was
enough for him to understand: How was it possible to find another male god
on the same level as Close?!
Besides, Wei Xiao’s feelings for Lu Feng were truer than gold even when
he wasn’t gay. How could he cheat on him just like that?
After some logical, careful thinking, Bai Cai finally came to a conclusion.
Allergy!
Wei Xiao must be having an allergic reaction to something!
There weren’t mosquitoes in April, so other than an allergy, there was no

other possible reason for it!
In this way, Brother Cai breathed a sigh of relief, “Be careful. If you feel
any discomfort anywhere, you should get it treated as soon as possible.”
Wei Xiao almost choked on his watermelon juice. “Ah?”
Bai Cai pointed to his neck. “The red spots there are from an allergy, right?
Don’t scratch at it. If it gets too severe, then take some antihistamines.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
He set down the watermelon juice and understood what was going on.
Like hell it was an allergy, that was all… all from the captain…
With this thought, Wei Xiao reincarnated into a steam train and started
sending out smoke!
Bai Cai was still talking, “But there’s no game over the next two days. It
should recede even without medicine, right?”
He drank a sip of his own boiled water and looked up at Wei Xiao. Then:
“…………”
What the hell are you blushing for, Wei Little Xiao? You can’t really
have…
Brother Cai’s whole world collapsed and split apart!
Wei Xiao cleared his throat, “Are you finished eating? We should go train.”
Wei Xiao tightened his collar and asked him cautiously, “Can you still see
the red spots?”
Bai Cai shook his head.
Wei Xiao relaxed. “Let’s go. Brother Chen is going to get angry soon.”
Even drinking a whole tank of water wouldn’t be enough to fill in the hole
in Bai Cai’s brain. “Old Wei!”
Wei Xiao felt guilty. “Hm?”
The words arrived in Bai Cai’s mouth, but he really couldn’t ask them out
loud. How should he ask… what should he ask… if it was real…
F*ck! Impossible!
With Brother Cai’s understanding of Beast Wei, he felt that this person
would never do this kind of bastardly thing.
So…
Bai Cai took a deep breath, “Although an allergy isn’t necessarily a major
thing, you should still be careful with it.”
Fellow brother, act like a person!
Wei Xiao was strangely embarrassed, and his gaze skittered away slightly.
“Mm.”
“Take medicine when it’s time to take medicine.”
“Mm.”
“Don’t end up delaying proper business.”
“Okay.”
“In particular, you can’t let things affect the morale of the army!”
Wei Xiao: “???”
Bai Cai explained, “I mean, the team will be in trouble if you’re sick.” If
you really f*cking dare to cheat on the captain, FTW will explode on the
spot!
Wei Xiao disdained him, “Enough, stop acting like a nagging granny, I
know what I’m doing.”
Like hell it was an allergy. He’d go back and tell the captain to be more
careful and stop planting strawberries everywhere.
There was a training match between FTW and 3U in the afternoon. They
played four rounds, and each side won two.
Generally speaking, training matches stopped after four rounds. Playing too
many rounds was meaningless, and it was more important to have a
summary and go over the game replay after the game.
Training matches were very different from regular matches.

The players weren’t as eager to win, and they would try out different line-
ups. The coaching team for both sides would focus on trying to obtain data
on the other team…
In summary, training matches shouldn’t be played too often. Four or five

rounds was enough.
Wei Xiao couldn’t sit still anymore after it was done.
Each game took an average of 40-50 minutes, and after finishing all four
rounds, it had already been more than four hours since he’d left!
In the last game, Wei Xiao was the embodiment of slicing through a knot
with a sharp knife.
The players could type and chat during a training match. On 3U’s side, Li
Chun was crying, “Brother Xiao, can you spare my small life?”
What the hell was going on? It was just a training match, why bully people
like this?!
Wei Xiao didn’t say another word. The immortal thief leapt into his face,
and ten thousand swords fell at the same time, taking away Little Classmate
Chun’s life.
Li Chun: “…………………”
He wasn’t going to type anymore. He opened his mic directly and cried
super loudly.
Cong Yi stroked his chin and typed in the public channel, “In a hurry?”
Cong Yi: “Why?”
Wei Xiao: I want to accompany my boyfriend!
Of course, these words couldn’t be spoken out loud. He said, “Need to pee.”
Everyone from 3U: “…………………” You win!
They finished the last game quickly. Chen Feng glanced at him sidelong.
Wei Xiao pushed off the floor and stood up. “Coach, I’m going to the
washroom.”
Chen Feng waved his hand. “Hurry back.” They still had to go over the
game while it was still fresh in their minds.
Wei Xiao wanted to be given more time. “Um, we’re not eating first?”
Chen Feng sneered, “You still want to eat after playing so messily?”
Forget it, forget it, he’d go check in on the captain first and then figure out
the rest later!
Wei Xiao walked away so fast he was practically flying. Bai Cai’s heart, it
was pounding repeatedly, beating so hard he almost had a heart attack.
Look at how this beast obviously couldn’t wait any longer.
Look at how his eyebrows were practically dancing with joy.
Look at the cell phone he’d left all alone on the table!
Bai Cai went over these four games and felt that something big had
happened.
The hickies could be explained away by an allergy, but what could he use to
explain away this floating heart?
Over the past month, Wei Little Xiao’s cell phone had never left his hand.
When he did things like ‘going to the toilet’, he would undoubtedly be
going off to make a phone call.
But now?
Wei Xiao obviously wasn’t going to the washroom, but he actually hadn’t
taken his cell phone with him!
He’d actually left behind such an important tool that was used to contact the
captain on the table!
Bai Cai’s heart felt like ashes. He felt like the sky was collapsing.
He’d told him not to mess around with an office romance!
Something would happen sooner or later!
Wei Xiao naturally wasn’t going to the toilet. He stealthily snuck back to
his room and went to the bedroom to see his captain.
Lu Feng was sleeping on his bed. Why would he need to contact him by
phone?
He’d never been the type who was addicted to his cell phone. Now that the
real person was in front of him, why the hell would he cook phone call
porridge!
Wei Xiao slipped inside and found that the room was very quiet.
He walked through the living area carefully and went to the bedroom.
The blackout curtains in the bedroom were drawn, and only a small light
was on in the corner.
The yellow light was like a small campfire in the dark, warm and
comfortable.
Lu Feng was asleep.
That wasn’t surprising; it would be morning in North America now, and Lu

Feng had been tossing about for so long. It would’ve been strange if he
wasn’t tired.
Wei Xiao’s steps grew even lighter, and even his breathing grew quiet.
He couldn’t bear to wake him up, but he wanted to take a look at him.
The night light was very dim. It took a while for Wei Xiao’s eyes to adapt
enough so that he could see Lu Feng clearly.
He’d fallen asleep on his side, the quilt covering him from the chest down
and leaving his shoulders and arms uncovered. He wasn’t wearing anything
on top, and his strong curves were even sexier in the dark.
Wei Xiao propped his head up against his hand and watched him, unable to
keep the corners of his mouth from curving up.
Grandma had said before that beauty was in the eye of the beholder.
His lover was even more beautiful than Xi Shi. What to do?
Wei Xiao came close and kissed him gently on the cheek. “Sweet dreams.”
Having said that, he got up quietly and prepared to go back out.
“You’ve finished with the training match?” The man’s deep voice rang out
in the dark room.
Wei Xiao turned back and looked straight into Lu Feng’s dark eyes.
Wei Xiao: “I woke you up… ah…”
He was grabbed by the arm. The world spun, and he landed beneath Lu
Feng’s body.
Lu Feng held his arm and looked down at him.
Looking up at the captain from this angle was simply…
Too deadly!
Lu Feng’s hair was slightly disordered from sleep, his eyes a little tired. His
manner was unusually languid.
Wei Xiao inhaled lightly and couldn’t help himself. “I’m going to die under
your body sooner or lat…”
Lu Feng pressed down and blocked his disobedient mouth.
There was only the sound of kissing and their eager breathing in the quiet
room as they entangled together.
Wei Xiao’s clothes were a mess. He said, “We have to go over the game in a
bit.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao’s scalp was numb. “Captain…” His voice trembled.
Lu Feng: “You must’ve played very well in the training match. It’s okay not
to go over the game.”
How could Wei Xiao spare any energy to understand what he was saying?
He just felt that he was about to die.
He……
Really needed to replenish his kidneys properly!
Would eating leeks be useful?
An hour had passed by the time he slipped out of his room.
Wei Xiao didn’t dare to go to the training room and headed gloomily to the
dining room instead.
He had to get the captain something to eat.
He hadn’t eaten at noon. Even someone who was made out of iron wouldn’t
be able to take it if he went on without eating dinner.
Wei Xiao was in the midst of rummaging for food when Brother Cai spoke
up darkly, “What are you doing.”
He really gave Wei Xiao a scare!
“Old Bai, you’re going to scare me to death.”
“Those who aren’t thieves wouldn’t be afraid of knocking at the door in the
middle of the night.”
Bai Cai couldn’t hold back anymore. If he let this continue, FTW would be
done for!
When he thought of this, Brother Cai’s heart was filled with courage. He
spoke boldly, “Who are you giving this food to?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Bai Cai could see from Wei Xiao’s expression that he’d hit the nail on the
head. He was both distressed and disgusted, “Old Wei, you can’t do this.
Isn’t the captain good? He’s only been gone for a month, yet you…”
Wei Xiao blinked.
Bai Cai’s heart was anxious and worried. “I can’t turn a blind eye to this.
You can’t do this to the captain!”
Wei Xiao was stunned for three seconds. “What.”
Bai Cai spoke directly, “Tell me, who is the wild man in your room?”
Wei Xiao: “…………………………”
Bai Cai: “I won’t cover for you. You can’t be careless when it comes to
feelings.”
Wei Xiao finally understood. There were countless mud horses running
over his heart as he yelled, “Screw your daddy, Bai Cai!”
Bai Cai: “Are you even being f*cking reasonable!”

Wei Xiao handed him the things he’d piled up in his hands. “Come with
me.”
The two of them went upstairs and stepped into Wei Xiao’s room.
Wei Xiao really didn’t want anyone else to see Lu Feng, but…
If he didn’t make things clear to this vegetable, he’d fill in his own brain
with holes until he was all the way up on the surface of the moon!
When he heard the sound of the door opening, Lu Feng casually pulled on
Wei Xiao’s clothing and came outside.
There was a crash.
The food in Brother Cai’s arms fell everywhere.
Wei Xiao was expressionless, “Do you see now? This is the wild man in my
room.”
xiin: heeeheeeeeee
Ch149 - Lu Feng: Who are you
marrying?
The 20 year old Bai Cai ushered in the darkest moment of his life!
Even in a dream, ten dreams, no, a hundred dreams, he still couldn’t have
imagined the scene in front of him!
Lu Feng was taller than Wei Xiao, and Wei Xiao’s clothes were a little short
on him, especially around the arms. His long sleeves became a little short,
revealing a part of wrist and making his fingers appear even more straight
and slender.
He put his hand on the doorknob casually, his black hair slightly askew, his
eyes at half mast. When he walked through the darkened living room, he’d
scared Bai Cai with his gaze.
Brother Cai had never seen a Close like this in his life. Even more, he’d
never seen the red marks like cat scratches on his arms, and, and…
Lu Feng: “Wild man?”
His voice was very textured, and the slow sound echoed around the space as
it rang out.
Brother Cai was about to be scared into tears.
Wei Xiao looked at his miserable appearance and helped him out, “The
jungler king’s man, wild man for short, isn’t that so, Brother Bai?”
Bai Cai: “………………”

“Yes! That’s right! That’s exactly it!” His desire for survival exploded, and
Bai Cai nodded just like he was pounding garlic.
Wei Xiao wanted to laugh, “Not worried anymore?”
Bai Cai startled back to his senses and said quickly, “Of, of course. Bah,
what’s there to be worried about? Um… Captain, you continue on, um,
you…”
After stammering for a long time, Brother Cai bailed like there was oil
smeared on the soles of his feet. “I won’t disturb you guys anymore!” He
ran off super fast, like he was being chased by a group of monsters.
Wei Xiao laughed at him, “Look at how promising you are!”
How could Bai Cai care about what he was saying? Protecting his life was
most important, and he wanted to continue living well in FTW!
He ran all the way downstairs. Ning Zhehan and the others had also gone
downstairs to eat, and when they saw him like this, they asked, “Brother
Cai, what’s the matter with you?” He was pale, and there was sweat
dripping down his face, his expression bleak like he’d just been played
badly.
Bai Cai collapsed on the sofa. Over half of his spirit and soul had already
flown away. “If I die, remember to help me pack up my belongings and
send them back home.”
Little Ning: “???”
Brother Cai: “Especially that little suitcase worth 66,000. Remember to

pack it up well and don’t let it get bumped…” He really gave instructions
for all his affairs, no matter how big or trivial.
Upstairs, Wei Xiao laughed at Bai Cai relentlessly.
Lu Feng bent over to pick up the self-heating hot pot and rice that had fallen
to the ground, “What happened? Did Bai Cai find out?”
Wei Xiao was laughing so hard that tears were about to squeeze out. He
pulled down his collar and showed Lu Feng the hickies. “Brother Cai is too
sharp. He thought that I’d cheated on you…”
The more he spoke, the funnier he thought it was. In the end, he was
laughing so hard he was rocking back and forth.
Damn it, when it came to holes in one’s brain, who could compare with the
Gossip Emperor?
He was really worthy of being a man who ran an account that had gathered
tens of millions of CP fans, gaining the title of Gossip Emperor by virtue of
his small articles.
Lu Feng understood the situation. “Wei Little Xiao.”
The alarm bells over Wei Xiao’s head rang loudly; this form of address
wasn’t right!
He blinked pitifully at Lu Feng. “Captain, don’t get me wrong, that was all
Bai Cai’s wishful thinking. You’re the only one in my room.” Then, he
added a sentence, “And the only one in my heart!”
Lu Feng wasn’t coaxed, “Then why would Bai Cai doubt you?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng raised his eyelids and looked at him.
Wei Xiao got it.
Damn it… Bai Cai, you’re going to die!
He thought about Brother Cai’s identity. He was Brother Cai’s number one
friend, a very tacit partner, and a good brother who fought side by side with
him.
There was a saying––your boyfriend’s brother may know your boyfriend

better than you.
Bai Cai had precisely that identity!
Just like Lu Feng had asked, why would Bai Cai doubt you?
If he didn’t have any previous history, then why would his fellow brother
suspect that he was hiding someone in his room?
Wei Xiao couldn’t laugh anymore. His brain was filled with hand cut white
cabbage.
Anyway, if something happened and it couldn’t be solved, the first way to

deal with it was to act coquettish. Wei Xiao went over and kissed Lu Feng
hard. “Who knows what that vegetable is thinking? In any case, I only have
the captain; there’s no space for anyone else in my heart.”
A smile flashed through Lu Feng’s eyes, and he teased him, “Mm, you’ll
only encounter love on a street corner.”
Wei Xiao: “!!!”
Lu Feng sat on the sofa. “I wanted to see FTW’s results when I got off the
plane. Your words were the first thing I heard.”
Glory’s Mic Explosion King had edited an overnight clip, releasing FTW’s
team chat for the game against TPT.
Wei Xiao’s ‘encountering love on a street corner’ had instantly become a

golden sentence, the Xiao-Li CP rising up immediately and even
overshadowing Li-Star and the twin junglers.
In particular, Wei Xiao had broken through Fu Li’s calculations and spoken
such a wonderful sentence after such a beautiful kill.
They didn’t care if it was intentional or unintentional, the CP fans loved it

anyway!
Wei Xiao was crying, “I just said it casually…”
It was over, it was over, he was going to have to sleep on the floor.
Lu Feng pulled him over by his wrist and seated him on his lap. “… If I
were a woman, I would want to marry Brother Tang right now.”
Wei Xiao’s back stiffened!
That was from last time, during FTW’s game against 3U. Tang Chen’s
space-time reversal had given him a quadrakill. At the time, he’d been too
excited, and his mouth had gotten away from him.
Oh my god, how could the captain remember all of it!
Lu Feng nibbled on his pale earlobe. “Who are you marrying?”
Wei Xiao’s waist was sour, and his voice was so soft it was a mess: “……”
Lu Feng: “I can’t hear you.”
Wei Xiao blushed hard. “Captain…”
Lu Feng’s lips curved. “What.”
Wei Xiao’s clothing shifted as he was caressed. His voice trembled,

“Don’t…”
Lu Feng: “Answer.”
Wei Xiao’s chin rested on his shoulder. The tips of his ears were burning,
his eyes squeezed close, and his heart thumped hard. There wasn’t much he
didn’t dare to say, “Marrying the captain!”
Lu Feng chuckled out loud.
Wei Xiao bit down on his healthy shoulder. “Don’t, don’t do it anymore.”
Lu Feng didn’t intend to let him go. “Who did you meet on the street
corner?”
Wei Xiao’s scalp was numb. “I met you.”

Lu Feng: “And then?”
Wei Xiao couldn’t stand it. “… Love you, I love you, captain, I only
love…”
His entire body was set down flat, and his mouth was kissed.
Wei Xiao moaned and wrapped an arm around his neck.
Bai Cai had come back up again. After careful consideration, his strong
sense of desire told him that he had to make up for it.
Even without mentioning the captain firing him out of anger, just the Wei
Xiao who’d been embarrassed into anger coming to find him to settle
accounts with him was more than he could afford!
Why had the captain flown back?
How was the shoulder treatment going?
Could it be that missing another person had become a sickness, and he’d
flown back to meet the little beast in his spare time?
Was this little beast so attractive?!
Although Bai Cai had known that the two of them had gotten together,
there’d been no image in his mind, and he’d always felt that it was
unrealistic.
Now…
F*ck, it was true love!
A 12 hour flight, traveling across half the world, reversing the time
difference, just to come back to see Wei Xiao.
If this wasn’t true love, then there was no real love in the world.
Brother Cai, as the Gossip Emperor who’d experienced many battles, swore
all the way to heaven that he’d never read any short articles like this.
It was a brain hole that even the CP fans didn’t dare to come up with, yet it
had happened in reality!
Magical.
The world was too magical!
Bai Cai thought of his own messy thoughts earlier, and his head almost
exploded.
It was over, it was over. The captain wouldn’t have misunderstood him,
right?
He hadn’t tossed Wei Xiaoxiao into a pit, had he?
This wouldn’t become a stumbling block to their feelings, would it?
Brother Cai was really in a panic. He was really afraid that FTW might be
destroyed if something happened to the feelings between the two of them.
He was just a vegetable. He couldn’t afford to bear responsibility for such a

heinous crime!
What to do…
Bai Cai thought about it back and forth and came up with a small way to
salvage the situation.
The captain must’ve rushed back overnight, and he probably hadn’t had a
proper meal. Otherwise, Wei Xiao wouldn’t have been looking everywhere
for the self-heating hot pot.
What was so tasty about fast food?
He had to quickly bring up some fresh, hot food to satisfy the captain’s
appetite!
So Brother Cai personally cooked four dishes and a soup and brought them
upstairs.
He met someone on the way there.
Yue Wenle: “What’s this?”
Bai Cai was prepared. “Wei Xiao isn’t feeling well so I made him
something to eat.”
He was setting things up for a cover up. Wei Xiao had spent an hour going
to the washroom and a reason had to be found for his disappearance.
Bai Cai had said previously that he wouldn’t help him cover up, but in fact,
he was helping him cover all the holes, even making up excuses for him.
“His stomach’s uncomfortable. He went back to his room to rest.”
Sending him food now was not unreasonable.
Yue Wenle still found a flaw. “Can Quiet eat so much food?”
Yue Wenle stared at him.
Bai Cai brainstormed for a while and felt that he wouldn’t be far from a fate
where he had to go home and raise pigs if he exposed the fact that the
captain had come back.
So he steeled himself and said, “I’m eating with him.”
Yue Wenle: “Oh……”
Fortunately, he’d encountered Yue Wenle, who only had potato chips in his
eyes and wasn’t interested in these four dishes and one soup. If he’d met
Brother Tang or Little Ning, their next sentence would likely have been,
“I’m coming too!”
Then Brother Cai would really have ended up dead.

The two people in the room were also ‘settling the accounts after the
autumn harvest’.
Wei Xiao’s anger had now been completely diverted to a new target.
Who cared about Brother Cai? Glory’s Mic Explosion King should go die!
He’d really sold him out cleanly!
He was a person who had a boyfriend; could they stop releasing these
ambiguous words!
Who would’ve dared to think that the king of irreverent remarks would one
day be attacked by his own remarks.
Thankfully, he still didn’t know what it meant to make love properly.
Although, that day wasn’t that far off.
xiin: White Cabbage would make a very good wife…

Ch150 - In fact, I really want to get
lost... And hurry to the captain’s
side.
Brother Cai had worked hard for a long time. But when he came up with the
plates, his heart was actually quite flustered.
He wasn’t going to interrupt anything, right?
That shouldn’t be…
Yeah, not likely!
Of course, Bai Cai didn’t dare to open the door directly this time. He
knocked on the door properly and asked cautiously, “Do you want to have
dinner?”
As long as he heard a ‘no’, he would get the hell out of there!
The door opened with a click.
Bai Cai was quite short at 1.75 meters tall. In front of the captain, his height
was really insignificant.
He sucked in a slight breath, “Cap-captain!”
He could feel the great demon king’s pressure even outside the canyon.
Brother Cai was so scared!
Lu Feng seemed to have just taken a shower. His hair was damp, and there
was the scent of bath gel emanating from his body, the scent faintly sweet
and citrusy. Lu Feng dropped his gaze and saw the full plates of food. “You
cooked this?”
Bai Cai quickly expressed his loyalty, “Yes!”
Lu Feng: “Mm.” He accepted them, then thanked him.
Bai Cai was so nervous he could die. How could he dare ask for thanks? He
was just glad that the captain didn’t come looking for him to settle his
crimes.
“Then, I’ll…”
He was just about to say that he would go downstairs first when Lu Feng
stopped him, “Have you eaten?”
Lu Feng: “There’s so many dishes. Wei Xiao can’t finish them alone.”
Lu Feng: “Come in and let’s eat together.”
Bai Cai: “!!!”
Really. If Brother Cai had even a bit of prophetic talent, then he wouldn’t
have let himself get into such a situation.
He was the one who cooked the dishes, prepared the rice, and he was even
the one who’d brought everything over.
However, at this moment, at this table with three people, he was only
responsible for eating Soybean’s share.
Indeed…
Fresh, painfully hot dog food that choked people up until they wanted to
die.
Wei Xiao had also taken a shower. Bai Cai didn’t want to know why he had
to take a shower at this hour.
Wei Xiao’s expression was filled with dismissal when he came out and saw
him. “Go back and eat in your own room.”
Bai Cai wanted to swear, but he also didn’t dare to. He was so angry he was
practically grunting with anger.
Lu Feng: “He’s eating with you.”
Wei Xiao looked at Bai Cai in surprise. “You haven’t eaten yet?”
Bai Cai couldn’t bear it anymore, yet he had to continue to endure. “I’ve
eaten, but I encountered Old Yue on the way. He asked me why I was
sending you so many dishes, and I could only say that I was accompanying
you to eat.”
Wei Xiao understood, but not only did he not thank him for the hot meal, he
even blamed him, “Be careful, don’t expose the captain’s whereabouts.”
Bai Cai: “………………………………”
Was it too early to break off their relationship now!
It was already too late. He’d already eaten three or four portions of dog
food, to hell with breaking things off.
Brother Cai was someone who had experience, and he knew Wei Xiao’s
character. He was bratty, cocky, acted coquettish, and played around at
being obedient; he had all sorts of tricks one after another.
But he didn’t know that their captain was this kind of captain!
Wei Xiao: “Brother Cai’s cooking skills are really good. His braised pork is
very fragrant.”
Bai Cai was quite proud: Are you kidding? This was a genuine Bai Family
heirloom, understand?
Lu Feng glanced at it, then said, “I’ll cook it for you when there’s a
chance.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes grew bright. “Captain, you can cook too?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao immediately said, “Captain, you’re so amazing. There’s nothing

you can’t do! Your food must be 100 times better than Brother Cai’s.”
Bai Cai: “???”
Eating Laozi’s food while stepping on Laozi? Are you human!
Lu Feng was satisfied, “Not a 100 times, but at least two or three times
better.”
Bai Cai: “………………………………”
He got it. It turned out that the captain was jealous.
Like hell he got it! What kind of flying vinegar was this!
Captain, how’d you eat this vinegar?!
Did you go all the way to the moon to find it?!
As it turned out, Bai Cai would’ve been better off not eating dinner. At the
very least, he wouldn’t be as stuffed as he felt now.
He was so stuffed, he just wanted to drill under the table.
There was a training match in the evening. Wei Xiao pretending to be sick
for half an hour was bad enough; if he continued to act ill, Chen Feng
would definitely come looking for him.
Wei Xiao followed Bai Cai to the training room, looking back several times
with each step.
Bai Cai was worried to death. “Do you need to go so far…”
Wei Xiao was also worried. “Say, the captain is so good, so will he become
an angel and fly away?”
Bai Cai: “………………………………”
I’m a f*cking fool for talking to you!
There were two training matches with RR in the evening.
Wei Xiao was absent-minded throughout the whole process. He took the
shadow thief and only knew how to brush out nine light arcs, making
Moonlit want to go into seclusion.
Money: “Quiet, why is your killing aura so heavy?”
Wei Xiao was bewildered. “Is it?”
Money: “My Moon-moon’s gotten lucky with your nine light arcs three
times.”
Wei Xiao: “Oh… I didn’t notice. I’ll take it easy on him next time.”
Moonlit was so embarrassed he grew angry. “Get lost!”
Wei Xiao was melancholy. “Ah, in fact, I really want to get lost…” And
hurry to the captain’s side.
Brother Cai, who could guess his unfinished words, ended up giving Yue
Wenle a level three shield after his hand shook.
Yue Wenle: “???”
Bai Cai was very calm. “Daddy loves you.”
He loved him so much he’d given him this god level state that had a 120
second cooldown.
A layer of goosebumps broke out over Yue Wenle’s skin. “There’s no need
for that.”
The training match ended at 10 o’clock. Reasonably speaking, they still had
time to queue for points.
Wei Xiao was eager to go back, but he held on after looking at the schedule.
He couldn’t bail; the tasks that should be completed must be completed.
What’s more, the captain must be catching up on his sleep. He should let
him rest properly.
Wei Xiao and Bai Cai were playing double queue. In order to finish the
match quickly, they played very seriously and abused the other side the
whole time.
After finishing the daily task of going up by 5 points, Wei Xiao let out a
breath. “You guys work hard. I’m going to sleep first.”
Ning Zhehan, who’d been losing all night, was filled with ten thousand
points of envy. “Goodnight, Brother Xiao.”
If it was a normal day, Wei Xiao would definitely stay behind to accompany
Ning Zhehan to score points, but now? “Goodnight!” He ran away like a
flash of lightning.
Bai Cai had been leeching off Wei Xiao to finish his own obligations. Yue
Wenle invited him, “Double queue?”
Bai Cai’s heart was very tired, so tired that he couldn’t really breathe. “No,
I’m a little sleepy.”
It had been a very stressful day. He needed to go take a hot bath and have a
good rest.
The two of them went out together, but Wei Xiao didn’t pay him any
attention at all.
Bai Cai reminded him, “Take it easy.”
Wei Xiao glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. “Eh?”
Bai Cai was afraid that he’d go too wild. “There’s still training matches
tomorrow. Don’t end up unable to get up.”
Wei Xiao was unwilling to accept this. “Who are you looking down on!”
Unable to get up? Impossible!
It was inconvenient for Bai Cai to say too much about it. “Goodbye!”
Wei Little Xiao might not understand moderation, but the captain…
… should understand, right?
Brother Cai was really as worried as an old mother over this.
As soon as Wei Xiao went back, he saw Lu Feng sitting in front of the
computer.
“Not sleeping?” He ran over and kissed him.
Lu Feng was still dealing with some work, “I was waiting for you.” Jet lag
was something that should be resisted.
Wei Xiao came over to see what he was doing. “Eh…” His eyes lit up.
Lu Feng didn’t try to hide things from him. He pulled him into his arms
directly.
Wei Xiao leaned into him, his eyes bright. “Is it true?”
Lu Feng: “The test server will go online in three days.”
Wei Xiao looked at it carefully. His eyes became even brighter as he

looked. “How exciting!”
Lu Feng smiled briefly. “The doubles game is even more interesting.”
He scrolled down in the email and showed Wei Xiao the system for the
doubles game.
Wei Xiao was startled. “This…”
This was an internal email. The game’s competition committee had first
sent it to the various club leaders to inform them about the changes ahead of
time.
They were now halfway through the regular season, and the playoffs were
fast approaching.
The playoff schedule wasn’t very tight. The eight teams that had been
shortlisted would play in an eight to four round, followed by the semi finals
round, and lastly, the finals.
There were only three games on the path to the championship.
Although 5v5 was simple, there would also be singles and doubles games in
the playoffs.
A few years ago, the competition system for the single and doubles
competitions had been an elimination system. Going through one game
after another had been very time consuming.
This year, there had been new changes from the competition committee.
The singles competition––Brawl mode.
The doubles competition––Survival mode.
Yes, these two playing styles now had new play modes, which were fresh
and exciting.
Even without mentioning the singles competition, the doubles competition

details that Wei Xiao had seen already made him feel like he’d just been
zapped by electricity.
All the doubles teams from the 16 teams in the China competition zone
would be airdropped into one huge map. The jungle creeps had a new
layout, there was a new replacement mode for their equipment, and besides
their teammate, all the other players on the map would be enemies.
The win conditions were simple and direct. As long as the team survived to
the end, they would be the final doubles champion!
It was fresh, exciting, and held more possibilities than the previous 2v2!
And what made it more worthy of appreciation was that it tested a broader
set of qualities in the players!
Wei Xiao’s heart was itchy just from looking at it. “It’s fortunate that you
went to treat your shoulder.”
If they missed out on such an interesting new competition system, they

would regret it for a lifetime.
Lu Feng’s heart melted. He kissed him on the neck. “Thank you.”
Wei Xiao had been the one who’d given him the courage to leave the team
and go to North America for treatment; Wei Xiao was the one who’d given
him the opportunity to leave the team during the regular season without
having to worry.
Wei Xiao was ticklish. His body turned soft from the kiss. “Captain…”
Lu Feng released him. “Let me finish replying to the email.”
Wei Xiao: “…… Okay.”
Lu Feng pecked him on the lips.
Wei Xiao was afraid that he would delay Lu Feng’s work. He got up. “I’ll
wait for you in the bedroom.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao was in a good mood, humming a little tune as he changed into his
pajamas.
It was at this time that his cell phone beeped.
Wei Xiao casually buttoned up a button and looked down at the message.
It was two WeChat messages, sent over by Bai Cai.
Brother Cai: “Forwarded: A little zero’s self-care tips.”
Brother Cai: “Forwarded: Loving yourself and loving him more.”
On the other side, Brother Cai quickly tossed his cell phone to the side after
sending over the links.
Damn it, he felt that Wei Xiao was still like a total straight man no matter
how he thought about it. Although he himself was also so straight that he
couldn’t possibly be any straighter, the Gossip Emperor had many gay
friends who regularly shared all kinds of wonderful knowledge with him.
Brother Cai had seen these things too often. He’d used to be afraid that it
would burn his eyes and had deleted them directly, but now…
Bai Cai was being very dedicated for FTW’s sake!
Wei Xiao looked at the title, his expression confused. What was this?
He didn’t know that it was the door to a new world.
And then…
Wei Xiao pushed the door open without any preparation at all.
F*ck?!
Wei Little Xiao, who’d thought that he’d become a mature man a long time
ago, fell into a stunned stupor.
It…it was actually like this?!
Um, did the captain know?
Wei Xiao’s body was burning all over.
He definitely didn’t know!
The author has something to say: Cough, cough.
xiin: no, little lunatic, the captain definitely knows…

Ch151 - Say, why is the captain so
handsome?
The links Bai Cai had sent over were all about ‘aftercare’.
Even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn’t have expected that these two
people who had been so sticky together hadn’t actually taken the last step
yet.
He was worried that Wei Xiao would be too careless and wouldn’t know
how to take care of himself.
Although the captain doted on him, it was better for Bai Cai to dote on him.
Brother Cai was mainly afraid that Wei Xiao wouldn’t be able to get out of
bed afterwards, and it would affect the competition!
However, he’d overestimated Wei Xiao, and he’d underestimated Lu Feng.
One of them really didn’t know anything.
And the other one was really able to hold back until Wei Xiao grew up a bit.
With two such ‘immortals’, Brother Cai’s head would be filled with
question marks even if he had ten brains!
At this moment, the Wei Xiaoxiao, who’d accidentally run into the truth,
saw the light.
No wonder it would hurt.
No wonder he wouldn’t be able to get out of bed.

No wonder they should take it easy.
This…
F*ck, so that’s how it could be!
Wei Xiao thought about it again and again. He couldn’t stay in bed anymore
and went out barefoot, poking his head out from the door.
Lu Feng thought that he’d gotten bored. “I’ll be done soon.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were drifting everywhere, and his face felt very hot. “It’s
okay, I came out to get water.”
There was a water cup beside Lu Feng’s right hand. He picked it up and
tried it. “Come here, the water temperature is just right.”
Wei Xiao slunk over, picked up the cup, and drank some water…
He was a little thirsty, but it wasn’t physical. It was psychological.
His throat felt dry no matter how much water he drank.
Lu Feng noticed it, “What’s the matter?”
Wei Xiao shook his head quickly. “Nothing!”
Lu Feng turned and saw the red tips of his ears. His heart shook.
He didn’t want to reply to the email anymore. He didn’t even want to type
another word.
Lu Feng turned off the computer, got up, and said, “Let’s go sleep.” They’d
talk about everything else tomorrow.
Wei Xiao gulped down the water in the cup in one go and nodded. “Okay.”
His heart was so turbulent that he didn’t notice that Lu Feng hadn’t finished
his work.
Both of them had already washed up so there was no need to do anything
else. They could just get into bed and sleep.
Lu Feng had ‘done’ Wei Xiao many times that day. Reasonably speaking,
this kid should be satisfied already, but…
He poked the tip of his nose and asked, “You want it?”
This was obviously referring to adult matters.
Wei Xiao’s eyelashes trembled. He clung to Lu Feng and felt all sorts of
uneasy.
Lu Feng’s hand slipped under the quilt and touched him lightly.
Wei Xiao buried himself against his chest and spoke in a muffled voice,
“Captain…”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao felt a pleasure that numbed his scalp and spoke to him in a voice
that was as small as the buzzing of a mosquito, “Do you know what two
men can do together…”
Lu Feng: “!”
Wei Xiao clung to him tightly, as though doing so would help hide his red,
flushed body. “Just…”
Lu Feng’s hand stopped moving. He held onto his waist. “How did you
learn about this.”
Wei Xiao couldn’t hear the strangeness in his tone and answered frankly,
“Brother Cai sent me a link.”
At this critical moment, there was nobody to rein Wei Little Xiao in.
Lu Feng flipped over, turning so that his back was facing him.
Wei Xiao: “???”
Wei Xiao was confused for a moment. Were they going to sleep like this?
He wasn’t done yet!
Wei Xiao pasted up close. “Captain? I…”
Lu Feng interrupted him, “I’m tired.”
Wei Xiao: “………………………………”
Wei Xiao would be a fool if he still couldn’t tell that the captain was angry.
But why was he angry?
What was the reason for his anger?
Wei Xiao was dazed for a moment, then thought about the words he’d just
said…
Could it be, maybe, perhaps, the captain had gotten scared?!
Wei Xiao put himself into his position and thought about it: It was quite
shocking. He’d also been startled when he first saw ‘this and that’.
The captain didn’t know anything. He must’ve been shocked to hear him go
into such detail.
Wei Xiao was very annoyed at himself. He’d been too careless; this kind of
thing had to be done step by step. It was much more difficult to accept when
the details all came pouring out like a swarm of bees.
Wei Xiao hurriedly went up to coax him, “Captain.”
His soft and crisp voice was like a heated marshmallow, sticky and sweet.
Lu Feng was silent.
Wei Xiao lifted up the quilt and got out of the bed.
Lu Feng looked at him out of the corner of his eye.
In the next moment, a certain Little Xiao pasted up from the other side and
burrowed into his arms.
He squeezed onto his pillow, wrapping Lu Feng’s arm around his own body.
Wei Xiao blinked at him. “Captain~”
Lu Feng’s Adam’s apple shifted noticeably. He held back and didn’t kiss
him, only moved to pull him further into his arms. “Sleep.”
Sleeping on this side might put pressure on Lu Feng’s shoulder; Wei Xiao
was very careful. “Don’t be angry.”
Lu Feng raised up his eyelids to look at him. So, Wei Little Xiao did know
that he was angry.
Wei Xiao leaned in and pecked him, his coaxing skills almost as good as his
nine light arcs. “Alright, alright.”
It was quite effective on Lu Feng.
Wei Xiao bit his lip. “Kiss.”
Lu Feng didn’t move.
Wei Xiao worked at it for a long time, managing only to make his own heart
itchy, but still unable to get what he wanted. He could only continue
begging for mercy, “Captain, I was wrong.”
Lu Feng looked at him. He didn’t need to speak for his meaning to be

understood: How were you wrong.
Wei Xiao said quickly, “In fact, I was also a little shocked when I first saw
it. It’s really… well, don’t be scared. We won’t do it in the future if you
don’t want to…”
Lu Feng: “………………”
Wei Xiao continued to chatter on, “There’s no rule that says we have to be
like that. We’re already very harmonious and comfortable, I…”
You’re the only comfortable one!
Lu Feng breathed in lightly and couldn’t hold back, “You thought I didn’t
know?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng pressed him down and pasted his body against his, “Hm?”
Just this single syllable question left Wei Xiao’s bones tingling. “Cap-
captain…”
Lu Feng rolled him over easily, landing fine kisses on his body.
Wei Xiao trembled endlessly, his whole body boiling hot. “Wu…”
Lu Feng blocked his mouth, and his fingers slid down, pulling more out-of-
control shudders out of Wei Xiao.
……
Wei Xiao’s heart was pounding in his chest. He couldn’t recall what he’d
just experienced.
In fact, they hadn’t done it all the way, and it had just been fingers, but…
Lu Feng leaned over him, “Do you know why we don’t do it now?”
Wei Xiao: QAQ!

Lu Feng kissed his wet eyelashes, “Sleep.”
Wei Xiao felt some fear after the fact. It really hurt. It already hurt like this
with just fingers, and the captain was so, so big. He would definitely die.
Wei Xia’s heart was still palpitating. He couldn’t speak for half a beat.
Lu Feng was on fire from his teasing, but he couldn’t bear to scare him
again. He got up. “I’ll go take a shower.”
After a pause, his brain finally came back online. “Captain!”
Lu Feng stopped and looked at him.
Wei Xiao’s eyes slid down, staring at that place and swallowing dryly.
“Have you been enduring it the whole time?”
Wei Xiao only remembered the sweetness and not the pain. What came out
of his mouth was, “Do you want to do it?”
Lu Feng would die from his teasing sooner or later. “Shut up.”
Wei Xiao understood fully now. Although he was a bit scared, he was still
reckless enough. “Let’s do it, I…”
To hell with going to shower. Lu Feng came back and pressed the other
party back down onto the bed.
Wei Xiao groaned and moaned.
Lu Feng pressed his waist down. “Don’t move.”
Wei Xiao felt like he’d been shocked with electricity, mm-hmm.
Then, the two of them took a bath together.

Wei Xiao said, “I really can do it.”
Just now, it had just been legs. Oh, he now knew why it was legs. It turned
out that… cough…
Lu Feng looked at him. “Do you want to try a cold shower?”
Wei Xiao shivered. “No need, no need.”
After washing up, it was already 2 o’clock in the morning by the time the
two of them went back to bed.
Wei Xiao was really tired after messing around until this hour.
Lu Feng was also a bit tired. He’d been tossing about for a long time on the
road, then gotten distracted by Wei Xiaoxiao for a long time. Even an
immortal wouldn’t be able to bear it.
Wei Xiao still refused to give up. He fought with his own eyelids to say,
“Captain, I can do it.”
Lu Feng kissed his forehead. “No rush.”
Wei Xiao looked at him. “Eh?”
Lu Feng was really concerned for his sake. “There are training matches
tomorrow, and a game the day after. Don’t make trouble.”
The regular season was very tiring. Lu Feng, who’d gone through several
seasons, knew this better than anyone else.
Players just wished they had 48 hours a day for training, reviewing the
games, individual training, and the dense competition schedule.
What was required wasn’t just energy; physical strength was also used up.
Wei Xiao might not care, but he did.
He wouldn’t indulge himself at the cost of making Wei Xiao fall sick.
He could still hold back if they didn’t do it, but once they did it, Lu Feng
had no confidence that he could stop after a taste.
When the time came…
Wei Xiao was still naive. “It can’t be that bad. Look, I’m young and
healthy, and I can…”
Wei Xiao opened his eyes wide. “F*ck, I might really end up being unable
to get out of bed for a week.”
Lu Feng blocked his mouth and stopped him from speaking further.
It was a gradual process. Lu Feng had placed Wei Xiao at the very tip of his
heart. He would naturally make the most comprehensive preparations.
“Wait for me to come back.”
With Wei Xiao latching onto him like this, he could only give him an
answer.
Wei Xiao blushed thoroughly. “It’s really okay.”
Lu Feng: “No.”
It was a real ‘no’. He was leaving tomorrow; how could he rest assured
after leaving Wei Xiao behind like that?
But no coaxing was as effective as this single sentence: “I won’t be able to

pay attention to treatment after leaving you behind like that.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
He settled down and stopped tossing about completely.
“There’s no rush, there’s no rush.” Wei Xiao said quickly, “We’ll talk about
it after you’re back.”
Not paying attention to treatment was too serious. He couldn’t treat such a
threat carelessly.
Lu Feng’s heart felt sweet and soft. He kissed him gently. “Be good.”
They really weren’t in a hurry. They had a whole lifetime.
He cherished him more than anything else.
When Lu Feng left, Wei Xiao insisted on seeing him off at the airport.
In order to cover up what he was doing, Wei Xiao focused on Bai Cai,
“Brother Cai, keep me company.”
Bai Cai: “???”
Wei Xiao tossed this difficult task at him. “Help me think up a logical
reason for the two of us to slip out together.”
Irritable Brother Cai came online and started cursing, “Like hell, what kind
of reason would Laozi have? Laozi…”
He was being scolded, but Wei Xiao’s expression was melancholic. He’d
started missing Lu Feng even before they’d separated.
When Bai Cai saw him like this: “……” F*ck!
It was true that if one carelessly made friends, they wouldn’t encounter
good people!
Facts proved that Wei Xiao was right to entrust Brother Cai with this task.
Brother Cai came up with a good excuse as soon as he opened his mouth,
“I’ve been having stomach problems over the past two days. I’m going to
go to the hospital to get it checked out.”
Brother Liu was surprised. “How’d that happen!”
Brother Cai: “It’s nothing major, I’ll just go get some medicine.”
Brother Liu: “Don’t take it lightly.”
Bai Cai: “It’s fine, my stomach problems aren’t anything new.”
Xiang Liu: “I’ll find someone to go with you.”
Bai Cai: “Cough… Wei Xiao just happens to be free.”
Xiang Liu paused.
Bai Cai: “He said he wanted to go with me.”
Xiang Liu: “Alright, call me if there’s anything.”
Wei Xiao praised Brother Cai fiercely, “Good brother, you’re so reliable!”
How should he say it? Brother Cai was very happy at the moment when he
was praised, and then he wished he could collapse onto the floor of the car.
Life was too hard.
He didn’t want to be a light bulb, but they insisted on hanging him over
their heads.
He really wanted to be a self-destructing light bulb!
The three of them even had a meal together. When they passed by the
security check, Wei Xiao blinked pitifully at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng waved his hand. “Go back.”
The captain’s figure disappeared into the security lane, but Wei Xiao
remained standing there.
Bai Cai still felt a little distressed. “It won’t be long before the captain
returns back to the team.”
Bai Cai: “Enough already, you can still call or have video calls when you go
back.” Long distance relationships weren’t as bitter in modern society.
Wei Xiao remained silent.
Bai Cai continued comforting him, “It’s just a month, in the blink of an
eye…”
Wei Xiao finally spoke up, “Say, why is the captain so handsome?”
Bai Cai: “???”
Wei Xiao: “That coat is mine. How does the captain look like he’s filming a
major movie when he wears it?”
The author has something to say: You guys are anxious, and I’m also in a
hurry, but… Who told the captain to be a real man? [doge face]
xiin: Bai Cai’s daily tasks – helping promote progress in Lu Feng and Wei
Xiao’s relationship (1/1) – eating dogfood (1/1)
Ch152 - Wei Xiao, can you stop
messing around!
Time really passed quickly.
Half a month went by in the blink of an eye. Ever since Lu Feng went back,
Wei Xiao’s state began to drift downward like the setting sun.
Yes, instead of improving, it declined.
At first, nobody noticed anything. They just felt that Wei Xiao had started
to act bratty again. There were a lot of crazy words, and the team’s voice
chat was cheerful and magical. Every snippet held a collection of crosstalk.
Glory’s Mic Explosion King simply loved FTW to death.
In the past, FTW might have been the most famous team in China and a
team who had one of the most valuable players in the world, but Glory’s
Mic Explosion King had always been reluctant to cut and edit their team
chats for the public.
The sole reason was because the great demon king was too silent. Other
than dry instructions, there was nothing fun happening during their games.
Although the majority of fans could scream happily when they heard
Close’s ‘Mm’, but…
They could just download a segment of it and play it on repeat every day.
Why would they need to stalk Glory’s Mic Explosion King for that?
Now, it was different.

Close wasn’t there, so Glory’s Mic Explosion King had originally thought
that FTW’s popularity would plummet. He’d thought that he could switch
to cutting clips from other teams’ voice chats, yet as a result…
Wei Xiao dropped in out of nowhere, and this crosstalk devil instantly
became the Mic Explosion King’s new favorite.
Just look at this clean and crisp voice with a bit of bad boy wildness.
Just look at this character who dared to talk, dared to do, and dared to
provoke others.
Just look at this trash talk…
It was too great!
Glory’s Mic Explosion King’s operation manager really wished he could

invite Wei Xiao to dinner in private––work hard, flashy youth! Our traffic
levels are all relying on you!
Of course, it was fortunate that they didn’t really have a chance to invite
Wei Xiao out for dinner in private. If they really met over the dinner table,
Wei Xiao would really send them into seclusion with his remarks!
Why?
Because Glory’s Mic Explosion King had sold off Wei Xiao’s spotless
reputation completely!
Wei Xiao had to coax his boyfriend until his mouth and tongue were both
dry after every single game. It wasn’t easy, okay!
Wei Xiao’s boyfriend could eat flying vinegar from across thousands of
miles. Didn’t it make Brother Xiao distressed?!
To sum it up…
Glory’s Mic Explosion King couldn’t be forgiven!

Even as the team’s voice chat became more and more exciting, the decline
in Wei Xiao’s state had also been discovered by the majority of the sharp
eyed spectators.
“Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since Quiet brushed out nine light
arcs.”
“Yeah, I’ve been stalking several of FTW’s recent games, but I never got to
see it.”
“What do you mean, nine light arcs? There aren’t any light arcs at all. Who
would dare let out the shadow thief?”
“One of the teams let it out last week, but FTW didn’t take it.”
“Do they even need my God Q’s shadow thief for games that they can win
so easily?”
This continued until FTW’s game against RR, when FTW lost 1:2 to RR.
Everyone grew alert!
“That’s not right, Quiet’s state has really been a bit spacey recently.”
“It’s not that he’s spacey, it’s just… he’s reverted back to normal?”
“That’s right. Quiet was very abnormal during the fourth and fifth week of
the regular season. Especially during that game against TPT, he was simply
crazy.”
“Yes, yes, yes, he brushed out countless nine light arcs in that game. That
wasn’t Quiet, it was Close!”
It was normal for players to have ups and downs. Fans would help find
reasons for it, but haters would just open their mouths and start flaming in
the dark.
“He can’t do it anymore, talent without hard work, right? Like I said, a
player like Quiet is unstable.”
“The brainless fans are just pushing him up for no reason, but the higher
you are, the harder you fall. Let’s sit and wait for Quiet to get eliminated.”
“I haven’t liked that brat for a while now. He’s clearly a newcomer, yet he
calls himself a grandmaster and thinks he’s above it all. Be a little more
polite, can’t you?”
“Yes, yes, yes, Sleep God and Moon God’s resumes both look better than
his. He doesn’t have any achievements, yet his badass acts show up one
after another.”
“He’ll mess up sooner or later.”
“Close, hurry back. Quickly take back your jungler position! I think Brother
Tang’s pretty good in the top lane.” The haters couldn’t be more obvious
with the tone of their words.
And there were also those who shook their fingers at the sky and dropped a
lot of cruel words.
“Group A is very exciting, FTW and RR now have the same number of
points. We’ll have to see who can hold on until the end.”
“With FTW’s current state, RR’s position as first in the group is stable!”
“When are they going to start taking bets? Laozi wants to bet! This year,
I’m going to bet my life savings on RR taking first place in Group A, it’s
100% going to be RR.”
“Previous poster only has a total of 5 betting coins, and they’re saying
they’re betting their life savings. Laozi has 2 million betting coins here. If
FTW doesn’t take first place in their group, I’ll go to their base and throw
explosives!”
“To hell with betting coins. Big brother’s head is placed right here. If FTW
can get first place, everyone can treat my head as a ball and kick it around!”
“Fierce.”
“More like, fierce and dead.”
“I’ve lost, I’ve lost…”
Wei Xiao just swept a glance over the comments on the internet and moved
on.
Over the past two years after he ‘fled’ from FTW, he’d taken a major in
flaming others while studying to become a teacher in university.
Those two years had been the most difficult ones for FTW, and it was also
the two years where the haters all got together to concentrate their fire on
Close.
How could Wei Xiao tolerate it?
His Weibo alt account’s name was simple and crude––The Great Demon
King Is Your Father.
With this ID, Wei Xiao had made use of his god-like hand speed, his score
of 148 in logical thinking, his full score in composition, and his massive
library of vocabulary as well as his crazy madness that wasn’t afraid of
anything under the skies to lead the charge at the front of Close’s battle
fans. It was like leading thousands of troops into battle, and it left the haters
all dumbstruck with awe.
What kind of hateful words had Brother Xiao not seen before? What kind of
trick hadn’t he used before? How could the small breeze and tiny waves be
worthy of his attention.
Compared with those people who’d hated on Close back then, these new
haters were simply nothing but dregs.
Wei Xiao was too lazy to even look at them.
He didn’t care, but the people around him couldn’t help but worry.
It was mainly because his state had really gotten worse.

The biggest proof of this was––his nine light arcs weren’t working yet
again.
Chen Feng had specifically sought him out to talk to him about this.
Coach Chen was serious and earnest. “Don’t feel any pressure. We’re not
weak even without the nine light arcs.”
Wei Xiao listened obediently.
Coach Chen continued comforting him, “Our results have been very good
for this regular season. There isn’t much of a difference between being first
or second in the group.”
Wei Xiao stopped being so well-behaved. “That won’t do!”
Wei Xiao: “I promised the captain that we’d take first place.”
Chen Feng said euphemistically, “But there’s no need to feel too much
pressure about it.”
Wei Xiao said earnestly, “Coach, I don’t feel any pressure.”
At the end of the day, Coach Chen wasn’t a counselor nor was he like
Teacher Yuan who’d read seven or eight psychology books, so…
He lost the battle.
Forget it, he’d leave this kind of thing to the professionals. Tomorrow just
so happened to be their physiotherapy day, and he’d just have their
psychological counselor come in to help the four little ones with any
emotional problems at the same time.
When the counseling was over, Chen Feng received the players’ reports and
had serious doubts about the psychological counselor’s abilities.
That was it?
That was it?!
Wei Xiao’s psychological state––’Excellent’, in capital letters.
He was even more ‘excellent’ than Bai Cai or Tang Chen, who were both
supposed to be the most stable.
Chen Feng became even more worried. Could it be that Wei Little Xiao had
hidden himself that deeply?
Was he able to keep it hidden even in front of a senior psychological

counselor?
Chen Feng hesitated over calling Lu Feng about it: Coax your little lover,
he’s so stressed that his mentality is about to collapse!
However, Chen Feng ultimately didn’t make this call. Lu Feng was far
away in North America, and peace of mind was the most important thing
when it came to treatment. He shouldn’t disturb him with this matter.
Besides, Wei Xiao’s state hadn’t yet reached that point.
There wasn’t much of a difference between FTW taking first place or

second place in the group. They would still be able to enter the winners
group in the playoffs.
Since he couldn’t call Lu Feng about it, Chen Feng focused on Bai Cai
instead.
As Wei Xiao’s best friend, Bai Cai may be able to get him to open up his
heart.
Chen Feng sought out Brother Cai for a private chat, which made Brother
Cai incredibly nervous.
As FTW’s number one zen brother, Bai Cai had almost never entered this
‘little dark room’––the private conversation room.
He was surprised to be called in by the coach, and Bai Cai’s legs were a
little soft: What was going on? Had his slacker ways of leeching points in
the ranking matches been discovered? Or had he been too wasteful lately? It
couldn’t be because his identity as the Gossip Emperor had been
discovered, right?!
Brother Cai cowered.
Chen Feng tapped on the table, and Bai Cai sat down.
Chen Feng sighed.
Bai Cai: “!”
Chen Feng: “When you have a chance, try to talk to Wei Xiao and tell him
not to put too much pressure on himself.”
Bai Cai was stunned for a moment.
Chen Feng continued, “Wei Xiao doesn’t have it easy. This regular season
has been very tense, and he shouldn’t be so nervous now that it’s about to
end. FTW won’t fall out of the winners group…”
Chen Feng spoke seriously, starting from the start of the regular season until
now. He spoke about each game, each match, and his speech was very
emotional.
This cub, Wei Xiao, was very good.
After holding it together for so long, it was time for him to relax.
Chen Feng hoped that he could put down his burdens and enjoy the last few
games.
Seeing that Bai Cai didn’t show any response after he’d spoken so much,
Chen Feng looked at him. “Do you understand?”

Chen Feng summarized it, “I know that the two of you have a good
relationship. Please help advise him.”
Bai Cai’s lips were twitching hard enough to fly up to the sky.
Chen Feng: “It’s not a problem, right?”
Bai Cai was expressionless, “No problem.”
When Bai Cai came out of the little dark room, he just wanted to find a tree
hollow and roar into it––to hell with pressure, to hell with his mentality, to
hell with his burdens!
That beast was clearly proudly in love and frustrated on the battlefield!
Was Wei Xiao under pressure? Had his mentality collapsed? Was he
physically and mentally tired out?
Bai Cai: “Ha ha.”
All of that was bullshit!
That brat felt no pressure, his mentality was too good, and his shoulders felt
too light. He was totally floating!
Bai Cai sniped at him, “Where’s your nine light arcs? How long has it been
since you brushed them out?!”
When it came to this… Wei Xiao was worried about it too, “I’m
practicing…”
Bai Cai: “So can you do it yet?”
Wei Xiao sighed, “No.”
Ever since Bai Cai learned about his relationship, he’d also understood the
mystery behind his nine light arcs.
Wei Xiao had brushed it out for the first time when he learned about his
captain’s shoulder. Later, he was able to brush it out because the captain had
almost given up on treatment. Now…
Bai Cai scolded him, “Can you f*cking stop messing around!”
Wei Xiao was very ashamed. “There’s good news from the captain every
day, I can’t help it.” The check-up reports from the past two weeks were so
beautiful that Wei Xiao wanted to mount them up at the head of his bed.
The final game in the last week was FTW against RR, and they would be
fighting over who would win first place in the group for Group A.
At the same time, Lu Feng had also gotten approval from the doctor. He
was allowed to touch the mouse and log into Glory.
His physiotherapy wasn’t over yet, but he could try and get a feel for the
game again.
He hadn’t shared this news with Wei Xiao yet when another piece of news
sent Close up into the hot search.
Glory’s big brawl mode would be launched in three days, and the new
competition system for the single player competition would also be
announced then. The global competition committee sincerely invited 16 star
players to participate in the opening match.
This stunt that they pulled for the opening kick-off game was very
exaggerated.
All 16 players were famous god-level players. The former Team of Gods
and current up-and-coming stars were all invited. The list of names that was
released almost blew up the entire Glory circle.
Yan Jiang, Xie He, Kim Sung-hyun, Yuan Ze… and Close.
Old fans of the Team of Gods cried so hard their eyes were blurred.
The rules for this chaotic brawl competition were very interesting. Not only
had they invited star players, they’d also selected 20 top anchors from each
competition zone, top passer-by kings from the international servers, and
even fans who’d won a lottery.
It would be a 100 person brawl, and the one still standing at the end would
be the real king!
Ch153 - The password is––7758521
The game officials had done a good job.
The new singles competition mode was already online for the test servers,
and many players had already experienced it for themselves. Some players
praised it, but even more players flamed it. They’d been kicking up a fuss
on the internet for a while now.
Wei Xiao had also tried it. He thought that it was pretty good.
For those who liked battle, wasn’t being able to kill 99 people in one go the
happiest thing?!
The Glory game designers had constantly been exploring new ways to play
over the years.
The inherent MOBA gameplay style was enough to retain players, and the
development of new talents could also give them a sense of freshness, but
in this day and age, when all kinds of games were emerging one after
another, making no progress was the same as falling behind.
Glory’s ten year popularity relied on its continuous innovation and the way
that it kept up with the times.
Nothing could remain standing still. If nothing changed, then the game
would only go downhill.
Regardless of how fiercely the old players cursed, Glory still resolutely
launched a new mode of play.
The 5v5 mode was already very mature. It was difficult to make any big
changes to it, but on the other hand, the developers were still feeling their
way around the singles and doubles gameplay modes.
The 1v1 single player competition was a test of a player’s individual
operation, but the sense of suspense and viewing enjoyment was relatively
weak.
In particular, Close, this peak level player, had caused this competition style
to enter a slump in popularity.
Being unable to beat the great demon king caused players to have a lack of
confidence when it came to challenging this play mode.
The gap between the champion Close and the runner-up Gary was so big.
How would others have the confidence to play this mode?
After a long period of deliberation, the game officials finally proposed a

new mode this year.
The canyon became an island in the sky, 1v1 became a big brawl, and the
oversized map with a 100 person melee brawl gave everyone more fighting
opportunities.
Personal operation, strategic planning, and even palace intrigue could be

played out to the fullest on this field.
This was no longer a lonely battlefield where one person crushed another,
but a huge battle where it was one person against 99!
If players wanted to remain standing until the end, not only did they need to
rely on their personal skills, but their comprehensive strength and even their
luck would be tested here.
In a fair competition, adding a small amount of luck would create additional

suspense.
Good luck didn’t necessarily mean winning.
Bad luck didn’t necessarily mean losing.
But luck was another way of showing strength.

Although there was a lot of online abuse, and people swore that they
wouldn’t play this mode even if someone threatened to kill them, the game
officials still promoted this mode actively, officially launching it in the
week when the regular season for each competition zone was coming to an
end.
This was making it very clear that they wanted to get it off the ground.
The purpose of the official launch in the regular servers was to completely
revamp the competition system during the playoffs and give the audience
new, stimulating things to watch.
The game and the competitions complimented each other.
Traffic from the game was related to the popularity of the competition, and
the passion inspired by the competition could consolidate the players’
attachment to the game.
So, as soon as a new mode was launched, the game officials would
definitely find a way to create a breakthrough in public opinion through the
competitive side.
This was the first time they’d organized a global all star game outside of the
world championships!
The 16 invited players were the top peak players in terms of popularity and
skill.
The 20 top anchors were also big gods who were worth tens of millions.
What made the players happy was that the remaining 64 spots would all be
given to players!
Passerby kings, hardcore fans, little novices, cute newbie girls…
Anyone who signed up would have a chance to be on the global live

broadcast and compete against their favorite competitive player or anchor!
With this wave of actions, those who’d sworn that they wouldn’t support
the new mode instantly changed their attitudes––
“I won’t play the new mode even if you beat me to death!”
“Oh, it’s so interesting.”
The official invitation letter was sent directly to FTW’s base.
Lu Feng was still far away in North America, but the letter had already been
received.
By the time Wei Xiao woke up, Weibo had already exploded from the news.
Brother Cai, who’d ended up covered in sweat after being walked by

Soybean, gasped for breath, “Damn, three people were selected from the
China competition zone!”
Wei Xiao was still browsing through his Weibo. He looked up when he
heard the news, “Who?”
Close was a given. Who were the remaining two?
Bai Cai read out the names, “Asleep and Moonlit.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
Bai Cai coaxed him, “Hold it, only one person can be chosen per club. It’s
not that you’re not strong enough!” It’s just that Close is too strong.
Wei Xiao tsked, “Fine then.”
He was willing to accept that his quota had been given to his boyfriend.
Then, Wei Xiao saw the names Yuan Ze and Gary appear on the list at the
same time.
Wei Xiao: “???”

Bai Cai’s brain stalled.
Wei Xiao was gloomy. “It turns out that Old Dog Yuan and Old G aren’t
from the same team?”
Bai Cai cleared his throat. “About that, Old G was last year’s singles
competition runner up.”
Wei Xiao, “So?”
Bai Cai: “The champion and runner up players would definitely be invited.”
Wei Xiao: “So it’s not that only one person can be chosen from each club,
but that I’m not as strong as Old Dog Yuan?”
Bai Cai was cautious. “… That’s not what I said. You’re the one who said
it.”
Wei Xiao: “………………” He was the one who was choked for words for
once.
Quiet was still a little far off from qualifying for a quota of this level.
Most people in China might know that Quiet was an even more excellent
player than Asleep and Moonlit, and some even felt Quiet was the number
one player in the China competition zone, after Close.
But that was of no use…
Professional players depended on results. The game officials wouldn’t only

look at how popular a player was. It wasn’t like Quiet was a game anchor.
Wei Xiao naturally hadn’t achieved any results. This was his first season,
and they hadn’t even finished the regular season yet. What kind of results
could he have?
There was no need to mention Close, who’d been a champion for four
consecutive years, China’s great demon king.
Asleep and Moonlit had also performed brilliantly last season.
One of them finished second place in the global doubles and was the
champion of the domestic doubles, while the other was the runner up from
China’s 5v5 and singles competition, making them both very qualified.
Even if these two people were unable to participate for some reason, there
was also Eurostar, Fu Li, and Money.
They could bypass God Yi, since support players couldn’t go up on their
own.
For example, Brother Cai. If he really was given a spot, he might kneel
down and beg the game official daddies to let him off the hook.
Wei Xiao was just messing around with Brother Cai. He understood the
score in his heart and knew that he wouldn’t be chosen, but…
There were 64 ordinary players who could participate.
Wei Xiao looked at his own alt accounts––
Oh, it was really shameful…
He had five accounts that were ranked in the national servers.
Lu Feng called him. Wei Xiao immediately tossed Bai Cai aside.
“Captain, will you be able to take part in the kick-off game for the big brawl
mode?”
The effect from the physiotherapy had been getting better day by day over
the past two weeks. Lu Feng had already been approved to play one hour of
games every day.
Lu Feng: “If you want to participate, I’ll…”
Wei Xiao immediately said, “No! I want you to participate!”

He then added, “As long as the doctor allows it.”
Lu Feng laughed briefly, “I can. The readjustment time has now been
increased to two hours.”
Wei Xiao was as happy as could be. “That’s great!”
The new single player system wasn’t the same as before.
In a 1v1 game, no matter how tense or anxious it was, the game would still
be over in 20 to 30 minutes. A fast game could be over in 15 or 16 minutes.
The battle royale mode had one hundred people in the same arena, and it
took place on a huge map. It would definitely take more time to finish a
single game.
Although they hadn’t started any formal competitions, judging from the
data from the test servers, winning the game would take about an hour.
Even if professional players were more cautious when playing, one and a
half hours would still be enough to finish the game.
Now that Lu Feng could play for two hours, he could definitely take part in
the competition!
Wei Xiao didn’t tell Lu Feng about his small plans. The main reason for this
was that the chance of winning the lottery was too small.
If he won, then his luck was really explosive, and if he didn’t win, then it
was very normal.
If he spoke about it in advance, then having one’s hopes dashed would be

the worst thing.
He chatted with Lu Feng for a while about the singles competition, and then
they moved on to discuss Wei Xiao’s nine light arcs.
Wei Xiao had been worrying about it for many days, and he didn’t hide
anything from Lu Feng. “I dunno… The more I want to brush it out, the
more I can’t brush it out.”
The principle for nine light arcs was open to the public. As long as the
player had the operation level to do it, then theoretically, it could be brushed
out at will.
But theory was theory. Actually being able to brush it out was something
else.
This wasn’t something that could be perfected with practice, because it was
difficult to even get familiar with it without a strong enough opponent.
Lu Feng replied, “Don’t worry. Wait for me to come back and accompany
you.”
Wei Xiao thought the same way. “Hurry up, hurry up, there’s a lot of things
to do together when you come back!”
Lu Feng paused.
Wei Xiao realized that he’d hinted at something else and his ears heated.
“Um, I didn’t mean that I want to, um… that.”
Wei Xiao’s throat felt hot. “No, no, I want to!” After saying that, he wished
he could find a spot in the ground to bury himself in.
But unexpectedly, his captain chuckled in a low voice, “I also want to.”
Wei Xiao: “………………………………”
He was dead. His cause of death was probably that he’d been killed off by
this deadly sexy voice.
After seeing the list, Yuan Ze first went to look for Lu Feng.
“Can you play?” He looked at Lu Feng’s shoulder.

Lu Feng: “Winning against you won’t be a problem.”
Recently, he often dreamed about that period three years ago. Could he
really be getting old?
In the past two months, ever since Lu Feng had come to North America,
Yuan Ze had really ‘done his best’.
He’d come over to mooch from time to time––the hotel restaurant that was
$200 per head tasted many times better than the food at the base. Oh, it
would be better if it hadn’t come mixed with dog food.
He’d gotten involved in live broadcasts from time to time––seeing the

iceberg Close go online to brush out 520 roses and 1314 hearts in person. It
wasn’t anything to be happy about; it was just inexplicably a bit choking.
He’d discuss tactics from time to time––L&P’s regular season was quite
tense. There were many strong teams in North America, and winning the
championship wouldn’t be that easy for L&P.
After having taken advantage of so much, it was time for Yuan Ze to give
back a little.
“Tomorrow is the opening game. Do you want to come to L&P and get a
feel for it?”
Lu Feng thought about it, “Sure.”
Yuan Ze naturally had his own small abacus in mind. “It just so happens
that a rookie joined the secondary team. His ice skills are quite accurate.
You can let loose and abuse him.” Any player who’d been abused by the
almighty great demon king grew up very quickly.
Yuan Ze sold out Old G very neatly. “Of course, there’s also Gary.”
Lu Feng: “What about you.”
Yuan Ze: “There’s no need for that. Big brother won’t take advantage of
how you haven’t played games for two months to bully you.”
Lu Feng: “Oh, then forget it.”
Yuan Ze: “???”
Lu Feng: “Logging on to the Korean servers from here is quite smooth.

Pro…”
He hadn’t finished his sentence when Yuan Ze mentally cursed Kim Sung-
hyun for being insidious and sinister, and interjected, “Fine, fine, fine, I’ll
also offer myself up for abuse!”
The opening game for the singles competition would be held online, and the
game would be broadcast live online.
After all, there would be players from all over the world. There was no need
to have everyone get together just to play a showcase game.
Although everyone was scattered, the competition committee from each

competition zone would still assess the players’ environment and arrange
referees in order to strive for fairness.
The equipment in Lu Feng’s hotel obviously didn’t meet the required

standards, so he would need to borrow L&P’s equipment to play. It was a
good idea to get familiar with the equipment in advance.
As soon as Lu Feng arrived at L&P, he was welcomed enthusiastically.
Especially Old G; if it wasn’t for the way that Close’s expression was too
cold, he would’ve gone up to give him a hug.
When they were preparing to start the game, Lu Feng glanced at the time,
“I’m going to open up a live stream.”
Yuan Ze: “???”

Lu Feng: “Don’t worry, I’m only showing it to one person.”
Yuan Ze: “…………” This seemed to be a familiar scene.
The studio was opened very quickly, and the password almost blinded Yuan
Ze––7758521.
Kiss-kiss me, I love you?
Who would’ve dared to think that this was the conduct of the cold-faced
great demon king who rejected people from thousands of miles away!
xiin: Yuan Ze’s daily portion of dogfood (1/1)

Ch154 - Captain Yuan, please have
some self respect.
Yuan Ze wasn’t able to hold back. He asked, “This password…” He

couldn’t read it out loud!
Lu Feng: “Oh, it’s an ID that he used before.”
Yuan Ze: “…………” He always had the feeling that he was being too
nosy!
Soon, the only audience member in the private live broadcast studio
appeared. His ID was very arrogant, and there was no attempt at covering
up anything––FTW.Quiet.
Coming to the door with his main account, bold and straightforward.
A scrolling comment flew out as soon as he came in.
FTW.Quiet: “Kiss-kiss you, I love you too.”
Yuan Ze really hated his own good eyesight. He could see it all clearly, and
his teeth instantly felt sour.
But what made him even more sour was yet to come, Lu Feng actually
replied with a light ‘Mm’ sound.
Wei Xiao immediately brushed out 520 kisses, filling the screen with pink
bubbles.
God Yuan was scared, he really was.
Men in love were too deadly!

In particular, when it came to these two, one was openly flirtatious while
the other was repressed. It didn’t even leave single dogs with a way to live!
They spoke in Chinese, their voices low and the content vague. The person
with the next best Chinese in L&P was Old G, and since even Old G
couldn’t understand, then the others didn’t even need to be mentioned.
The first player to go up was from L&P’s second team, a blond, pale
skinned youth named Kenny.
When he saw Lu Feng, his eyes grew astonishingly bright. He spoke in

broken Chinese, “Captain Lu, I’ve always been respecting you!”
Yuan Ze couldn’t listen on for any longer. “Lu Feng lived in London for
several years. You can speak however you like.”
Kenny immediately switched languages. His endless adoration continued to

pour into Lu Feng’s ears.
9PM in North America was 9AM in China. Wei Xiao cuddled Brother Soy
and watched the live broadcast from under the quilt.
Lu Feng had turned on his microphone, so he could hear what was being
said on the other side.
Wei Xiao paused briefly and rubbed Soybean’s big ears. “So the captain
used to live in England.” No wonder he spoke English with such an
authentic accent.
On the other side, Kenny was still blowing out rainbow farts. Wei Xiao’s
thoughts drifted as he listened.
Speaking of this, he didn’t know anything about the captain’s family

situation.
The two of them were in a relationship where they could get married and
get a license, but he didn’t actually know his family.
Um…
Wei Xiao felt that he hadn’t been very responsible. He couldn’t be set
against the captain’s parents just because of his own parents. If there was a
chance, he should still get to know them.
Kenny finally finished ‘gushing’ and spoke out his final wish, “Can you use
the shadow thief when we solo?”
Close’s shadow thief was really famous worldwide.
Regardless of national boundaries, regardless of race, anyone who’d seen

his singles games would be shocked.
This degree of shock can even be linked up to the individual’s Glory

ranking.
Bronze, silver, and gold rank players: “Holy shit, what’s with this?”
Platinum, diamond, and king rank players: “Is it even possible for a human
to do this?”
Finally, there were the professional players: “I’m sorry, I’ve disturbed you,
I’m not worthy.”
The emotions that surged up at that moment were too complicated. Being
unable to even muster up any envy, jealousy, or hatred, probably referred to
this feeling.
Kenny was a mid-laner, but that didn’t stop him from being obsessed with
the shadow thief.
If he could solo with Close’s shadow thief, what else would he be afraid of
in the future?
No matter what kind of jungler king he came up with, his expression

wouldn’t change, and his heart would remain steady.
––A c-position who hadn’t experienced the nine light arcs personally was
one whose life was incomplete.
Kenny wanted to have his wish completed even before he joined the
starting line-up.
However…
Someone didn’t allow it.
Wei Xiao understood what he’d said and immediately fired off a scrolling
comment, “Don’t use the shadow thief!”
Kenny couldn’t understand this line of Chinese text even though he was
standing right up front, but Yuan Ze could naturally read it.
Yuan Ze thought to himself: Brat, you’re really managing a bit too much!
Lu Feng didn’t even try to ask him for a reason and agreed, “Okay.”
Yuan Ze: “………………”
He really hated the damned fact that he understood too much. How happy
would it be if he didn’t understand Chinese?!
Wei Xiao went on to explain, “Captain, your shoulder is still in the recovery
period. You shouldn’t use talents that have such high operational
requirements.”
Especially when it came to the shadow thief. When this talent fell into Lu
Feng’s hands, only nine light arcs could show up. There were no other
possibilities.
Nine light arcs really consumed a lot of effort. Wei Xiao believed that Lu
Feng could pull it off, but he didn’t want him to use it.
He should get his feel for the game back step by step. It shouldn’t be
rushed.
Yuan Ze got it when he saw Wei Xiao’s scrolling comment and explained it
to Kenny.
Kenny’s face was filled with disappointment.
Yuan Ze asked darkly, “Have you trained up your demonic mage?”
Marshal was often on the losing side in front of Close, eating losses daily,
but it wasn’t the same with others.
Kenny shivered and settled down. “I-I did.”
Yuan Ze rubbed his chin. “Why don’t you experience Close’s demonic
mage, then.”
Kenny: “Okay!”
The first set of talents for their solo games was decided.
For Lu Feng, it didn’t matter what he played in a 1v1 game.
As a talent kaleidoscope, solo games were simply tailor-made for him.
The demonic mage was a fortress type mage that had a relatively low
operational requirement.
This talent relied on skill accuracy.
Each talent had its own balance in Glory.
For example, skills. Most of the damage skills that didn’t need aiming were
very average, had usage limitations, and a low damage cap. Conversely,
most of the damage skills that required players to predict and aim had
considerable benefits. Either the control time was lengthened or the damage
dealt was increased. The damage cap for those skills was definitely much
higher than skills that could be operated brainlessly.
As a fortress mage, the demonic mage relied heavily on its skills.

All four of its skills required manual aiming, and it was actually very
difficult to control.
So, the demonic mage’s ‘low maneuverability’ was only in comparison with
talents like the shadow thief or immortal warlock.
Compared with other fortress type mages, the demonic mage was very
difficult to play.
The first skill was an aimed trajectory attack from the left, the second was
an attack from the right, the third skill was a curved trajectory attack from
both sides, and the ultimate move was six curved attacks.
Every skill tested the player’s control over the trajectory of the skill. If it
was aimed accurately, ten magic beams would connect together, causing
damage that even a giant shaman with full magic defense gear wouldn’t be
able to hold up against.
If it wasn’t aimed accurately… Oh, the demonic mage had a nickname. It

was also known as the incompetent mage.
At the start of the match, Wei Xiao acted like a commentator in the
scrolling comments––
“Level six! The demonic mage has its ultimate move now. It’s time to see
who is demonic and who is incompetent!”
The scrolling comments were densely packed. “Beautiful. Close’s left arc
hit the enemy, and the right side also connected. Both arcs crossed at the
same point, and the damage stacked up!”
“Kenny’s not bad, his hand speed’s pretty good and managed to release all
ten magic beams in one second. But, the problem is, how come not even a
single one of them touched Close?”
Yuan Ze, who was standing behind Lu Feng and staring at the screen,
“…………”
It was fortunate that Kenny couldn’t read the scrolling comments.
Otherwise, to hell with playing solo, he would simply explode on the spot!
Yuan Ze’s lips twitched. He asked Lu Feng, “Won’t these scrolling

comments affect your performance?”
He felt a little distressed for Kenny’s sake. Although he was only a child
from the secondary team, he was still a promising mid-laner who’d been
working on his demonic mage for a long time. Yet as a result, he was being
knocked about by a former jungler king who hadn’t touched the game for
nearly two months and was splitting his attention to read the scrolling
comments.
ABUSE. Written in capital letters.
Lu Feng manipulated his hero’s positioning while replying calmly, “It

won’t.”
Looking at the accuracy of his skill releases, it really didn’t!
On the other side, Commentator Wei heard Yuan Ze’s words and stopped
blowing rainbow farts temporarily in order to type, “My Captain isn’t you
and won’t get affected.”
God Yuan’s teeth itched.
Wei Xiao’s hand speed was equally fierce when it was used in scrolling
comments. “Besides, I’m talking to my captain, what are you looking at it
for?”
Yuan Ze: This brat!
He was just about to open his mouth to retort when he heard Lu Feng say,
“Captain Yuan, please have some self respect. Don’t pay so much attention
to other people’s words of love.”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”

Ch155 - Words between lovers are
all words of love.
Yuan Ze refused to accept this, “You call these words of love?”
Wei Xiao’s scrolling comments were all filled with commentary, the type of
commentary that would come from a die-hard loyal Close fan. Calling them
rainbow farts was an insult to rainbow farts.
His words traveled across the headset into Wei Xiao’s ears, and Wei Xiao
typed back quickly, “Words between lovers are all words of love.”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”
Lu Feng struck another blow. “Understand?”
Yuan Ze almost choked to death: To hell with understanding the two of you!
On the other side, Gary had just finished his training with killing lane
soldiers and leaned over to take a look, “What are you guys talking about?”
Yuan Ze stared at him coolly.
Old G’s skin tensed up. He felt a strong desire for survival. “My captain
isn’t peeking! He’s watching it openly!”
With half-assed Chinese, G only heard something about looking or not

looking. Close was at their base soloing with a player from their team. How
could there be any need to peek? It was simply…
He added, “He can watch however he wants to, and he can even watch it
repeatedly and continuously!”
Wei Xiao almost doubled over laughing. “Captain Yuan, what kind of
hobby is that?”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”
If it weren’t for the fact that L&P lacked jungler kings, Old G would now
be a Dead G!
As they chatted idly, Lu Feng easily hammered Kenny until he exploded in

the solo game.
20 minutes later, Kenny looked at the ‘Defeat’ on his screen and felt
momentarily lost.
“So strong.”
He didn’t know how to describe the situation other than with these two
words. The skill release had been so accurate that it was like he’d used a
plug-in, and every hit was at the highest damage point of the trajectory. It
wasn’t just that Kenny was a squishy talent; even a tank wouldn’t be able to
handle this kind of damage.
Kenny looked up at his captain and muttered quietly, “For a moment, I

thought that it was God Xie.”
Yuan Ze sneered. “Your God Xie’s demonic mage was trained up at his
hands.”
Kenny: “!”
Old G’s ears perked up. Everything about the Team of Gods back then was
secret, and anyone who heard about it would be curious.
However, Yuan Ze didn’t intend to say anything more. He glanced sidelong

at VIVI. “You go?”
VIVI was L&P’s starter mid-laner. He’d been eager to give it a try for a
while. “Coming!”
Lu Feng asked, “Which talent?”
VIVI: “Demonic mage!”
VIVI logged in quickly and entered the room, his heart filled with
happiness.
The great demon king was really easy to talk to and would play with
whichever talent he asked for. It was nothing like the unapproachable
distance that his captain had spoken of.
Yuan Ze’s lips twitched from where he was standing behind Lu Feng.
He could see clearly that Lu Feng’s question was actually directed at Little
Lunatic Q.
Only after Little Lunatic Q said the demonic mage did Lu Feng answer
positively.
Captain Yuan’s heart was bleeding as he looked at his own mid-laner’s

flattered appearance.
Why didn’t this group of idiots believe him!
If Close was easy to deal with, then he, Yuan Ze, was the number one best
person in the world!
VIVI had been constantly staring at the solo game just now. Close’s
demonic mage was really an eye opener.
Kenny hadn’t played against Xie He before. He’d only watched too many
of EVE and L&P’s training matches and was familiar with Xie He’s play
style. That was why he’d said such a thing.
VIVI had the same feeling when he watched the game, but…watching was
different from experiencing real combat. As a person who’d fought against
Xie He countless times, VIVI was really qualified to judge if it was actually
similar or not!
The match started quickly. Watching mid-laners fight against each other
was very interesting.
Even skirmishes in the lane between mages in 5v5 were major highlights.
When they mutually suppressed the lane soldiers, mutually used up the
other side’s skills, seeing whether or not they were able to lower the other
party’s health was often the key to victory.
VIVI was much stronger than Kenny. It wasn’t just that his personal
operation was much better, but the maturity of his consciousness,
experience, and his mentality when facing a strong enemy.
This was what newcomers lacked, and VIVI wasn’t short on these things as
a veteran player.
His trajectory accuracy was very high, and he could accurately predict
Close’s movements. In the first wave of skill and health exchange, he even
managed to suppress Close’s health until it was lower than his own.
But Close, who was in a slightly weaker position, wasn’t anxious at all.
Yuan Ze shifted his eyes from the canyon to Lu Feng’s face. He was very
curious––
What on earth could shake this man’s mentality?
He’d been an iceberg even when he was 17 or 18 years old.
At 21 years old, the ice had spread down to the depths of his soul.
He was so icy that others didn’t dare to get close, and it even seemed that
he’d sealed himself up in ice.
Yuan Ze couldn’t help but think of three years ago.

When they’d gone their separate ways, had Close also been equally
expressionless when faced with the empty FTW?
A sharp, stabbing pain spread out from his heart. Yuan Ze had a heart-
wrenching idea:
The 17 year old Little Close had a cold face and a soft heart.
The 18 year old Close had had to completely freeze himself up.
How could he hold up the fragmented ruins of the team if he wasn’t tough
enough?
At this time, a line of text in the scrolling comments leapt into Yuan Ze’s
eyes:
FTW.Quiet: Captain, mess him up!
As the scrolling comment floated by, the demonic mage in the canyon lined
up the trajectories, started off with two magic beams that intersected at the
target, and finally followed up with the ultimate move’s six successive
beams. Ten magic beams flew out from different angles, the intersection of
the arcs landing accurately on VIVI.
Ten magic beams intersected, dealing explosive damage.
VIVI fell to the ground.
Yuan Ze was stunned for a moment. Not because of the immortal level
operation in the canyon, but because of the curve at Lu Feng’s mouth.
It was a very faint curve. People who weren’t familiar with him might not
even notice it.
But Yuan Ze saw it.
He saw this real smile that came from the bottom of his heart.
––Melted the iceberg, unsealed the soul, bathing it in the brilliant sun.
Half a beat later, Yuan Ze smiled as well.
A warm feeling grew in his chest as he thought of many things he thought

he’d forgotten.
In that year, the demonic mage had just come out as a new talent.
Xie He had been very contemptuous, “It’s a fortress mage. I’m not playing
it.”
As everyone knew, God Xie was a real man. He only cared about assassin
mage and was famous as a melee mage.
Hiding at the back and just releasing skills?
Impossible. He insisted on rushing up and stabbing directly from a close

range.
Xie He was more like a jungler than a mid-laner.
His bloodthirsty spirit that loved slaughter didn’t match up with his modest
and polite name at all!
Unfortunately, as a professional player, he had to fully understand the new

talents.
At the time, FTW’s coaching team had also been aware of the team’s
shortcomings.
Close was a jungler and being murderous was an advantage, but it wasn’t as
appropriate for the two c-positions, who should strive to preserve their life,
to be so desperate and aggressive.
So, the coaching team assigned Xie He the task of training with the
demonic mage.
Xie He: “Oh.”

He turned around and picked up the immortal warlock, using it to kill every
demonic mage he encountered until they cried to the heavens and the earth
in ranked games.
The coaching team was so angry their livers hurt. They gave more specific
instructions: “Close and Xie He play solo games together. Xie He, you can
only use the demonic mage.”
Xie He: “……”
Their coach: “Close will use the shadow thief.”
Yuan Ze commented coolly from the side, “Old Xie, how amazing would it
be if you could use the incompetent mage to win against Little Close?”
Xie He instantly ignited a fighting spirit then!
Later, in the arena.
Xie He took out the demonic mage and used ten accurate trajectories to turn
the mage opposite him into a closed up child.
After winning the game, Yuan Ze had glanced at his team’s silent little
jungler and seen a hint of a smile at his lips.
It was very light, very faint, but it was real.
VIVI tsked, “Really strong.”
He managed to survive for a bit longer than Kenny, dragging the game on
for 30 minutes.
It was a pity that as the game progressed, the emphasis on skill accuracy
increased. This was something where the laymen would only be watching
for excitement, while experts saw it as a gateway.
People who’d never played the game before would only feel this when they
watched: Hey, it’s just aiming. There are trajectory indications on the
ground, and the players only had to release the skills.
However, the release of the skills had a forward swing, there was a delay
for the magic beams, and the other side wasn’t a standing target… All in all,
without careful practice, this talent could only be played with luck––blind
cats encountering dead mice.
Yuan Ze comforted VIVI, “It’s solo, after all.”
These words were really meant to comfort. When soloing with Lu Feng,
one shouldn’t think too much of it.
As a talent kaleidoscope, killing his opponents with the talents they were
good at was very normal.
This year’s singles game revamp was very good; the previous competition
system had actually been very unreasonable.
For example, in the 1v1 arena BP link, the ban positions applied to entire
professions.
However, many players focused on one profession, and the occasional

talented player would just be good at two major professions. When it came
to bug level existences like Lu Feng, he was the only one in the entire Glory
circle.
He could play any profession apart from the support position. How could
anyone target him with the bans?
Banning thieves was useless. Warrior, assassin mage, explosive damage

marksmen… he was well-versed with all of them.
There was no way to target him.
So, the great demon king had dominated the scene for years.
Don’t even think of winning against Close in solo. It didn’t matter what
your profession was.
Talent was simply such an unreasonable thing.

Changing the single and double competition into a big brawl and survival
battle was a good step forward.
At least, other factors could come into play to make up for this
insurmountable gap in personal operation level.
It made the possibility of resistance more feasible.
When it was Gary’s turn, he charged up excitedly. “I’ll use the shadow
thief!”
Lu Feng couldn’t use it, but he wanted to use it. It hadn’t been easy to catch
this opportunity with Close, and it would be a waste if he didn’t practice.
Little Lunatic Q, who’d been in a more favorable position, was already able
to brush out nine light arcs. He wanted to catch up as soon as possible!
The most important thing for practicing nine light arcs was a strong
opponent.
Yuan Ze was strong enough, but when compared with Close––
Old G’s heartfelt words: I choose Close!
Fortunately, Yuan Ze lacked mind reading skills. Otherwise, he would’ve

picked up a knife to teach a lesson to this big fool that he’d brought up
word by word!
After playing for an hour, Wei Xiao grew distressed. “No rush, rest for a bit
first before continuing.”
Although the captain could play for two hours a day, he should still be more
careful when he could. He was only supposed to warm up, not play in some
sort of wheel battle.
Yuan Ze thought so too. He began, “Let’s go next door and drink some…”
Before he could finish, he saw Little Lunatic Q complaining on the

scrolling comments, “Captain Yuan, what’s the matter with you? You go to
my captain’s hotel to eat and drink off of him every time, yet when my
captain comes to find you, you don’t even prepare food and drink for him.
Are you even human!”
Yuan Ze was angered to death. Whether or not I’m human may be

uncertain, but you definitely aren’t!
While L&P stopped playing for a while, Wei Xiao was actually in a bit of a
hurry.
It was time!
The passerby players’ registration was open!
Wei Xiao needed to quickly go and sign up, but whether or not he could get
picked would be up to luck.
Eh?
Luck!
Wei Xiao let go of Brother Soy and went off to find Bai Cai.
Bai Cai was in a sleepy daze, “What…”
Wei Xiao pulled him into his room.
Brother Cai woke up in a flash. “Don’t mess with me, I don’t want to be
chopped to death by the captain.”
Wei Xiao: “What are you thinking? Do me a favor.”
Wei Xiaoxiao explained the whole story, and Brother Cai understood.
The corner of his mouth twitched. “You’re really…”
Five national server high ranked accounts, Little Lunatic Wei really lived up
to his name, badass!
Wei Xiao urged him, “Hurry up, I believe in your little lucky hands.”
When it came to things like luck, he naturally had to let FTW’s strongest
support player, the real God of Luck, Little White Cabbage, come up to the
stage.
There was no need to elaborate on Brother Cai’s great achievements.
In the winter training camp, he had managed to queue up against whoever

Wei Xiao wanted to play with.
After that, when Money had done a lucky draw on Weibo for a Porsche,
Brother Cai had only forwarded it to help a friend. Yet as a result…
Everyone knew how that had ended.
The entire network had cried with envy.
Bai Cai felt a little guilty. “What if it doesn’t work? You can’t blame me.”
He could tell that Wei Xiao wanted to take part in the opening game for the
singles competition. It made sense. It was such a huge gathering of stars;
how could Little Lunatic Wei not be drawn to it?
It was also a rare formal occasion where he could ‘fight against’ Close.
It would be strange if he didn’t want to be a part of it.
Wei Xiao was smiling like a fox. “I won’t blame you, I won’t blame you.”
Bai Cai always had a feeling that he hadn’t finished speaking.
Wei Xiao patted him on the shoulder. “Take it easy, if you don’t win the
draw, our relationship will come to an end here.”
Bai Cai: “………… Screw your daddy!”
As Wei Xiao looked on ‘affectionately’, Bai Cai’s heart thudded, and he

signed up all five of his accounts!
After it was done, Wei Xiao suddenly froze for a moment.

Bai Cai looked at him. “What?”
Bai Cai was puzzled. “The draw won’t be over so quickly, right?”
The winners shouldn’t be picked until two hours later when the sign up
form closed.
Wei Xiao spoke darkly, “Say, with your little lucky hands, will all five of
my alt accounts end up picked?”
Bai Cai: “???”
xiin: WX, be careful about what you say…

Ch156.1 - The captain said that he
really likes it when...
Brother Cai was given a fright, and his small face grew pale. “That won’t
happen, right?”
Laozi’s luck couldn’t be that stinky!
Wei Xiao was very happy. “It would be great if they all won.”
Bai Cai: “……” He always had the feeling that the next sentence wouldn’t
be anything good.
Wei Xiao: “In any case, the alt accounts aren’t locked to an ID. When the
time comes, everyone in our team can have one, and we can fight in the
brawl as a team!”
Bai Cai’s lips twitched. “Don’t take me along. I’ll get killed by you guys
right after I go in.”
There was no protection mechanism for teammates in brawl mode. Even if

a team went in together, they would lose health when a skill flew over them.
It wasn’t like the 5v5 arena where teammates couldn’t deal damage to each
other.
If the five of them went in together, Bai Cai had reason to suspect that he
would be the first to get killed by his ‘teammates’.
Wei Xiao: “I’ll get gold coins for killing you. Big brother’s takeover of Sky
Island relies on your financial support.” The map for the big brawl was
called Sky Island.
Bai Cai was angered to death. “Laozi won’t let you have the kill even if I
have to turn into a box upon landing or throw myself into the sea…”
Oh, why should Laozi take part in the opening game?
F*ck, Little Lunatic Wei was trying to trick Laozi again!
And, look at the IDs for these alt accounts! Who would dare use them!
The registration deadline was two hours from now, and the results would be
announced at the same time.
Wei Xiao took a look at the time and felt that it was about time. He drove
Bai Cai away. “Go then, go then, I’m going to continue watching a live
stream.”
Bai Cai’s ears perked up. “Live stream?”
Wei Xiao showed off, “The captain’s live broadcast room. Only I can
enter.”
Bai Cai: “………………”
A perfectly good captain had been led astray by the little lunatic just like
this!
On Lu Feng’s side, they’d finished resting, and Gary couldn’t wait any
more. He was burning with eagerness and wished that they could rush to the
canyon for a solo game right then and there.
Old G: “Come on, come on, let’s start!”
Lu Feng: “Wait a moment.”
Old G: “Hm? Is there anything else?”
Lu Feng: “Let me ask for instructions.”
Old G’s face was filled with confusion. “Instructions for what?”
He turned to look at his captain and discovered that his captain had an
expression of having a toothache on his face.
Old G was even more confused.
Lu Feng didn’t explain. He looked at the scrolling comments, then asked,

“What should I use?”
Gary answered very quickly, “Shadow thief!”
Lu Feng: “Okay, I’ll use the death knight.”
Gary: “???”
Wasn’t Close’s English very good? How come he hadn’t understood such a
simple term? “It’s…”
Yuan Ze couldn’t look on any longer. He bonked him on the head. “Shut
up.”
Old G was innocent. “Ying.”
If only G’s Chinese was just a tiny bit better, then he would’ve been able to
recognize the words Wei Xiao had typed in the scrolling comments.
Oh… If Wei Xiao had used Martian text, Old G would’ve understood a long
time ago.
Facts proved that Captain Yuan had a lot of foresight. In order to prevent his
teammates from fighting over dog food with him, he’d ‘calculated’ well
from the first day he taught them Chinese.
After hearing that his captain was playing in the arena with L&P, Brother
Cai was no longer in such a hurry to go back and sleep. He wanted to
watch, too!
If this big scene was recorded and released out online, it would bring in
explosive traffic, okay?!
Brother Cai carefully and euphemistically expressed this idea to Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao stared at him. “Do you think that FTW is short of that small
amount of traffic, or do you think the captain needs it?”
Wei Xiao: “Or, do you mean to say that I need it?”
Brother Cai was sour. “I’m short, I’m short on that traffic, alright?!”
Damn it, he was dying from envy every day due to these traffic giants!
The solo in the canyon began.
It could be said that matches between Close and Gary were a fairly common
occurrence. Even Brother Cai had seen such matches many times.
Prior to this year, whenever FTW wanted to have a training match against a
global top team like L&P, they had had to rely on Gary’s ‘obsession’ with
Close.
One solo game in exchange for a 5v5 game. It was painful just thinking
back on it.
The shadow thief against the death knight.
In fact, Gary was very much at a disadvantage when these two talents
played solo against each other.
In terms of talent restraint, the shadow thief was at a disadvantage against

the death knight. Of course, this referred to games between players at the
same level.
The death knight had a high base defense, and it had a 5% immunity to
physical damage. This 5% shouldn’t be looked down upon; even a single
drop of health could be the key to victory in the canyon.
The shadow thief was a talent that dealt physical attacks and didn’t deal
even the tiniest bit of other types of damage, so it was difficult for it to fight
against death knights in the early stages.
The death knight also had a way to restrain the shadow thief after it gained
the light arc skill. The death knight in its light form could use combo moves
to trigger a purification effect, which could eliminate the marks on its body.
This was deadly against the shadow thief, since it was a talent spec that
needed to use marks to brush up its skills.
Not to mention, the death knight’s heavy form had even higher defense and
a forced control skill. If the death knight really charged up into the shadow
thief’s face, then the shadow thief could only cry and call for daddy.
Back then, Wei Xiao had called out daddy many times.
Yes, it was during that time when the two of them went at it for three days
and three nights.
Bai Cai sighed, “Why is Old G so stuck on this? Using the shadow thief in
front of the captain is simply seeking humiliation for himself.”
The zen vegetable couldn’t understand it. Wasn’t it good to live happily?
Why did he have to go looking for abuse?
Wei Xiao snorted. “Gary’s smart.”
Bai Cai couldn’t see how Martian G was smart at all.
As it turned out, jungler kings were still better at understanding other

jungler kings.
Old G might be naive on a daily basis, but he was very thoughtful when it
came to Glory.
Why did he always seek Close out for solo? Why did he always insist on
using the shadow thief? Why was he so diligent and unafraid of being
abused?
It was because his eyes were focused on the nine light arcs!
To outsiders, Lu Feng was taking the death knight to bully outsiders, and it
looked like he was bullying Old G: Close’s original personal level was
slightly higher than Gary’s, and he then used this talent that restrained the
other side. Wasn’t it obviously just trying to hammer him to death?
But in fact, that wasn’t it.
The death knight was a talent that could stimulate the shadow thief’s nine
light arcs.
Wei Xiaoxiao was very grateful to L&P. Over the past one and a half
months, although Old Dog Yuan had been leeching food and drink on a
regular basis, he’d also kept Lu Feng company while he was alone in a
foreign country.
So, when Lu Feng asked him what he should use, he’d said the death
knight.
Lu Feng was very relaxed as he played. He was obviously in training mode.
He casually cleared his lane soldiers before level six. As long as the death
knight stood there in its heavy form, the shadow thief on the other side
would never dare to act arrogantly.
The death knight and shadow thief had captured the hearts of many little
sisters.
One was a tall and majestic demon in armor, while the other was a slender
and cool shadow. It was very eye-catching when they were caught in the
same shot together.
The demon’s long sword swept over, and the shadow thief’s crimson blade
flashed slightly.
One side gave off a strong sense of power, and the other side was as fast as
a cheetah. The fight that erupted with just one clash made the air in the
whole canyon grow heavy!
The shadow thief hid himself and tried to attack the death knight from
behind. Nothing could be seen from the death knight’s perspective, but that
didn’t prevent him from turning back and drawing his blade, his skills
sweeping across and accurately landing on the shadow thief.
Old G reacted quickly. He took the damage and left a mark, then used his
shadow attack’s high mobility to attack and move at the same time.
Close had started with his heavy form. Many players would feel that the
death knight’s heavy form was too clunky when they used it, but when it
came to Close, it was grand and open, filled with power.
Wei Xiao had already started boasting and praising in the scrolling
comments.
Bai Cai was shocked at how quickly he could type on a tablet. At the same
time, he wondered, “Won’t you affect the captain’s operations like this?”
This question seemed familiar, but the one asking this time was a teammate,
so Wei Xiao’s reply was friendlier, “The captain said that he really likes it
when I’m waving flags and cheering for him.”
Bai Cai: “…………” He always had the feeling that he was being too nosy.
Facts proved that he’d really been too nosy. Wei Xiao looked at him.
Wei Xiao said euphemistically, “In fact, the captain likes me no matter what
I do.”
Bai Cai: “……………………..” Can you be a tiny, tiny, tiny bit less
shameless!
While talking, Lu Feng and Gary in the canyon had already both reached
level six.
This was the beginning of the show.

Why was the death knight the best talent spec to inspire nine light arcs?
Because of restraint.
When it came to light arcs, generally speaking, it was still a matter of

challenging the limit.
One, two, or three light arcs were easy to brush, and four or five light arcs
were still doable.
Seven light arcs belonged to the level of a normal professional player, and
eight light arcs required hard training. Nine light arcs was legendary.
Memorizing the series of moves wasn’t difficult. What was difficult was
how to stack up enough marks and damage using the zero cooldown time of
the shadow attack in order to activate nine light arcs.
Not only did it depend on hand speed, it also depended on skill hit rate and
the player’s judgement of the current situation.
For example, the enemy’s movements, evading forced control skills, or

even calculating the death knight’s purification skill…
All in all, it most required a very high concentration level from the player
themselves.
xiin: Empty Island switched to Sky Island ~

Ch156.2 - Jealous Wei Little Xiao.
Gary’s personal level was high enough, and what he needed most was that
ultimate personal experience.
Powerful pressure, scalp-numbing tension, and constant concentration… it

practically brought him straight into the canyon.
Wei Xiao was more than a little sour as he watched Gary enter the right
state. “This death knight is mine.”
Wei Xiao looked at Brother Cai.
Bai Cai’s brain hurt. “Yes, yes, yes, it’s yours.”
Wei Xiao’s sourness continued, “But now, he’s training other men!”
Bai Cai: “………………”
Can you not f*cking act like a complaining bitch!
Old G managed to brush out nine light arcs just when the match was almost
over.
The brilliant light that covered the skies made Wei Xiao so angry he wanted
to quit the live broadcast room.
Although he’d taken the initiative to suggest using the death knight,
although he was very grateful to L&P, although…
It didn’t matter!
Jealous!
He was jealous enough to die!
Bai Cai was almost drunk from all the flying vinegar!
Wei Xiao didn’t send any more scrolling comments. He wrapped his arms
around himself and sat there, bullying Bai Cai, “Am I being petty?”
Bai Cai: Laozi might die if he doesn’t answer correctly.
“Do you think I’m being petty, too?”
“No, no, no.”
“Shouldn’t I be petty?”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
“So you do think I’m petty.”
Captain, come back quickly and put this little lunatic in his place!
Although they were thousands of miles apart, Captain Lu still knew what
his Wei Xiaoxiao was thinking.
Gary had just shown off his nine light arcs and was so happy that he wanted
to jump up three feet high. But in the next second, the death knight changed
forms. The demon dismounted, and his bone winged armor transformed, his
long blade slicing out and instantly triggering the magic seal that sent the
shadow thief into an enchanted state.
A dazzling scene appeared.
Because the Gary who’d just brushed out nine light arcs died in the glow
that still enveloped half the canyon.
Enchanted state––70% of the damage dealt would be released on the
attacker’s side.
So, 70% of the damage from Gary’s nine light arc landed on his own
body…
That damned death knight could rely on its super high defense and 5%
physical damage immunity in order to resist the remaining 30% of the
damage.
Gary was killed.
Close was left standing in the canyon with a sliver of his health left.
The L&P training room was quiet.
Even Yuan Ze was left speechless.
VIVI, who was watching the show, “That’s possible?!”
It really was possible…
The shadow thief wasn’t immune to control states when it brushed out nine
light arcs. ‘Enchantment’ was essentially a control skill, but finding the
right time to release it was too difficult.
First of all, anyone who didn’t understand the nine light arcs like the palm
of their hands wouldn’t be able to judge which fraction of a second that Old
G would release the light arcs in.
What’s more, those who didn’t understand the death knight like the palm of
their hands wouldn’t be able to silently stack up the magic seals over such a
long time.
The death knight was a hero that Yuan Ze was very good at. He could do
the latter, but wasn’t necessarily able to do the former.
After all, when it came to nine light arcs…

Other than Close, who could use it freely, everyone else relied on luck.
For Gary, he had used it several times in training matches, but it was too
unstable for him to use it on the court.
For example, Gary had been able to use the nine light arcs with Close’s
guidance, but what was the use in that?
Would Close guide him during a competition?
Oh, he would guide him, lead him into an enchantment and then kill all his
teammates!
What followed was a stage where the death knight beat up the shadow thief
until he exploded.
Gary was beaten into crying and whining. Wei Xiao grew happy and
instantly asked Brother Cai another life-threatening question, “Isn’t the
captain handsome?”
Wei Xiao raised his eyebrows. “Not handsome?”
Bai Cai: “… F*ck!”
How could he dare to answer? How could he dare to speak? He didn’t even
need to look to know that saying he was handsome or saying that he wasn’t
were both dead ends.
Fortunately, Brother Cai had weathered storms before and had already
grown up. “Your boyfriend is very handsome.”
Wei Xiao was amused. “Not bad, Veggie.”
Life was really hard for Brother Vegetable!
Old G was abused, abused thoroughly all over. He banged the table and
roared, “This is great! It’s still the Close who can make people feel so good
it overturns the heavens!”
Wei Xiao heard this and turned into sugared vinegar that bubbled and
grumbled, “Old G, don’t flirt with my captain!”
Old G couldn’t see it, but Yuan Ze could, “……” Act like a human, Little
Lunatic Q.
Who would’ve dared to think that the Old Dog Yuan who didn’t act like a
human in daily life would one day have such feelings.
After eating dog food for a whole night (North American time), Yuan Ze
needed to work it off, “Come on, last game.”
Lu Feng’s hands were eager. “Come on.”
Finally, the highlight of the show that night: Close vs Marshall.
Really, how long has it been since Yuan Ze and Lu Feng played solo
seriously?
Although they’d played against each other during the winter training camp,
it couldn’t compare with their daily solo games three years ago.
When Close had first joined the team, the coach had tossed him to Yuan Ze,
who most liked to teach. Yuan Ze was also very suited to training
newcomers, especially junglers.
The 17 year old Close was already very tall, with excessively delicate
features. He didn’t look like he was coming to compete in the arena, but
rather like a star who had come to shoot an advertisement.
As the most handsome person in FTW (self-styled), Yuan Ze was unhappy

with Close’s face.
Someone who looked like this must be lacking in skills. Not everyone could
be like Yuan Ze who had good looks, was well spoken, and was strong
enough to explode the skies.
Close’s self-introduction had consisted of a single sentence: “Hello
everyone, I’m Close.”
Yuan Ze was more and more dissatisfied: What are you acting reserved for,
little brat.
Yuan Ze leaned back against his chair and raised his eyelids to look at him.
“What do you usually play?”
Close: “Anything.”
At this time, Yuan Ze thought that he meant that he could play any kind of
thief. He really didn’t know that this ‘anything’ covered the 140+ talents in
Glory.
Yuan Ze sat up slightly and logged into the game. “Take the talent you’re
best at. Come and solo.”
Close paused.
Yuan Ze: “It’s fine, big brother will take it easy on you.”
Then, Big Brother Yuan who’d let down his guard almost had the tables
turned on him.
Kim Sung-hyun had still been naive back then. “Brother Yuan, didn’t you
say that you were going to take it easy on the newcomer?”
Yuan Ze couldn’t quite manage his temper and said rather weakly, “If I
didn’t take it easy on him, how would he even have a chance to turn the
tables?” It had been dangerous for a moment.
At this time, Close didn’t understand Old Dog Yuan’s true nature. He asked
him very seriously, “Can we play another round?”
Yuan Ze hesitated.
Close: “?”
Yuan Ze: F*ck, how could he be afraid of a newcomer!
“Come on!”
Later on, FTW inexplicably started up a tradition of solo games.
In fact, Close’s win rate wasn’t very high. Even without mentioning
winning against solo king Yuan Ze, he also lost against Kim Sung-hyun
often.
But the three who played solo against him were all shocked.
Close lost, but it wasn’t because he lacked ability. It was due to lack of
experience and refining his skills.
This was something that could only be accumulated over time, and it was
something that he would be able to catch up with as long as he worked
hard.
As for Close, he was obviously a very hard-working cub.
Genius wasn’t terrifying. What was terrible was when the genius worked as
hard as you.
Yuan Ze’s inner heart: I hate this little jungler!
Old G asked Yuan Ze excitedly, “Captain, what are you going to use?”
Yuan Ze was calm. “Not a warrior.”
Gary was bewildered. “Why?”
Yuan Ze: “For fairness, of course.”
Old G: “Close’s state is better than before…”
Yuan Ze stared at him.

Gary didn’t know why, but his heart was still very anxious: Captain, don’t
be reckless, you’ll lose!
Lu Feng looked over. “Not using a warrior?”
Caring Big Brother Yuan came online. “You haven’t played for over a
month. I won’t bully you.”
Lu Feng: “Oh, in that case, let’s not waste time.”
Yuan Ze: “???”
Lu Feng got up and was really about to leave. “I’m going back.”
Yuan Ze was surprised. “Are you looking down on Laozi’s thief?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Yuan Ze: “F*ck…”
This brat was even worse than he’d been three years ago!
Ch157.1 - Wei Xiao: Why am I not
in North America!
In the end, Yuan Ze took the blood warrior.
The blood warrior’s full name was the bloodthirsty warrior, and it looked
like a majestic human general. According to the information provided from
the Glory expansion film, he was an excellent general who’d led thousands
of troops to fight in all directions. Later on, he was abandoned by his lord
because his achievements had overshadowed his master. His 3000-strong
iron cavalry had become scattered souls beneath the assault from 100,000
troops.
The general was pierced by thousands of arrows, but before he died, he held
up his sword and roared to the sky. His resentment and unwillingness
attracted blood demon magic, and the blood of 3000 soldiers all poured into
his body. The general was reborn with blood and became a demon.
The bloodthirsty warrior and the blood raven thief had grudges and
resentment between them.
According to the background introduction, the blood thief was the blood
warrior’s adjutant and the only one who’d survived the slaughter.
The general thought that the adjutant had betrayed him and drained his
blood immediately after he resurrected.
But the adjutant had died willingly. Before he died, he said, “I’ve always
been waiting for you.”
Only after the general had washed the palace with blood did he learn that
the adjutant hadn’t betrayed him. Instead, he’d been running around
everywhere for his sake in the capital and hadn’t given up despite being
subjected to abuse and humiliation.
Everyone had said that the general was dead, but the adjutant clung to his
belief––the god of war would never die and would never fall.
Afterwards, the blood warrior divided his blood into two halves and used
half of it to revive the adjutant.
From then on, a blood thief and blood warrior appeared in the Glory
canyon.
Lu Feng used the blood raven thief.
Yuan Ze: “I won’t take it easy on you.”
It could be seen from their background story that the blood warrior could
suppress the blood thief.
In terms of game balance, just based on solo combat, the blood warrior was
indeed more dominant, especially now that the blood thief had suffered a
few nerfs from the game planners and had already been left on the bench
for a long time.
Lu Feng: “Bring it.”
There was no need to talk nonsense, they would determine who was the
winner and loser in the canyon.
Both talents had ‘blood’ in their names, and they had the same origins. The
core mechanisms for the two talents were very similar, and they both had
powerful blood sucking abilities.
When the blood thief’s ultimate move blood oath started up, it could
quickly recover back to full health from a mere sliver of health. It was like
having an extra life.
The blood warrior’s blood sucking ability was continuous, and almost every
one of its skills had its own blood sucking and health recovery mechanism.
As for the amount, it depended on the operation.
Wei Xiao sent out a scrolling comment when he saw this CP pairing,
“Captain, let’s use them together next time in 5V5.”
“I can share my lifeforce with you.”
Lu Feng still had enough time to reply to him while clearing lane soldiers,
“Okay.”
Wei Xiao was happy.
If the blood thief and blood warrior were on the same side, they could
trigger a small skill––life sharing.
It sounded very awesome, but in fact, it came with quite a few restrictions.
It could only be used when both sides had over 60% health at the same
time, and it had to be used when they were out of combat.
This was more of a symbolic skill than a practical one. It was mainly used
to match up with the backstory and give the players a small Easter egg to
play with.
Wei Xiao watched this solo game very seriously. He didn’t even send many
scrolling comments.
Although Yuan Ze’s character was questionable, it had to be acknowledged

that he was indeed a top class player with strong personal strength.
The blood warrior was now a very commonly seen top-laner in the field,
and many players had practiced it.
However, Yuan Ze’s understanding of this talent went far beyond others.
His skill understanding, micro operations, equipment buying strategy, and

even his movements and positioning were all very nuanced.
Wei Xiao couldn’t help but consider, if he was the one in the canyon, if he
was the one controlling the blood thief, would he be able to snatch up any
benefits from Yuan Ze’s hands?
The answer was infinitely close to ‘No’.
Finding a breakthrough in this seamless operation was too difficult.
The blood thief was originally already suppressed by its talent

disadvantage. If he then encountered such a nuanced blood warrior, he
would almost definitely be overwhelmed.
“Damn!” Bai Cai exclaimed.
Wei Xiao saw it as well, and his eyes grew as bright as stars.
Bai Cai sucked in a breath. “The captain is so strong.”
A wave of conflict had just broken out in the canyon. Yuan Ze’s blood
warrior had just been attacked by the blood thief’s ‘feather transformation’.
Ravens landed one after another, and he instantly lost half of his health bar!
This timing was too amazing.
Yuan Ze was very strong.
But Close was even stronger!
Wei Xiao couldn’t even be sure how Lu Feng had seized this opportunity
without going back and watching the replay.
It wasn’t just Wei Xiao. Everyone in L&P held their breath and couldn’t
even blink.
This kind of pinnacle level duel was even more thrilling than watching the
global solo competition.
Marshal vs Close.
The former singles championship against the current holder of three

consecutive championships.
Who was the strongest Solo King?
The match that the whole world was curious about was taking place right in
front of their eyes!
In the long and narrow canyon, the blood warrior who’d lost half its health
to the blood raven thief didn’t panic. It used its first skill, the blood sting,
and pierced through a total of five lane soldiers at an extremely tricky
angle.
This round of micro operations left everyone stunned.
Lu Feng’s lips raised slightly. He dodged slightly, avoiding the blood sting
that hadn’t lost any of its momentum.
This blood warrior skill had strong penetration power, but how much it
could actually pierce through depended on the player’s ability.
The angle, power, and how it was launched were all crucial factors.
There weren’t very many people who could use the blood sting the way
Yuan Ze had, even across the whole of Glory.
Those who didn’t understand might wonder: what was the meaning behind
piercing through the small lane soldiers?
It was very meaningful!
Just look at Yuan Ze’s health bar. The way that it had instantly recovered
from half health back to full health was enough to explain the power behind
this round of operations.
Blood sting would absorb the lifeforce of other beings for recovery. The
amount of health that could be recovered by hitting one target was very
different from hitting six targets!
In an instant, the blood warrior and blood thief were back to the same stats
they’d been at prior to the confrontation; neither side had lost any health!
However, the real battle would only begin after level six, when all their
skills were activated. Only then would the winner and loser be determined.
Although Yuan Ze and Lu Feng hadn’t soloed together for a long time, it
was obvious that they’d both paid attention to each other.
They’d both grown infinitely, but only their personal habits remained buried
deep in the marrow of their bones.
For example…
Yuan Ze’s black eyes flashed, and he caught an opportunity: Little Close,
don’t blame big brother for not taking it easy on you.
The blood warrior released a phantom. The phantom and the original body
looked identical, and because they could switch positions randomly, others
weren’t able to judge which figure was the real blood warrior. Additionally,
the phantom figure was able to share damage, and attacking the enemy
would also allow the phantom to restore health.
As soon as this skill came out, everyone stared at the blood raven thief.
Lu Feng used ‘feather transformation’ and used the second segment of its
movement ability to pull away from the blood warrior.
However, Yuan Ze seemed to have seen where he would land ahead of time.
Seeing that the blood thief was landing, his figure and the phantom figure
switched positions. The blood warrior’s scarlet sword appeared behind the
blood thief.
There was a heavy flash of bloody light, a squelch, and the blade ran
through the blood thief’s belly.
The high-definition mode image was shocking. Blood overflowed,

following the long blade like it had a life of its own. The blood thief’s
health dropped sharply, and at the same time, the blood warrior’s entire
body was bathed in red light, causing rampant damage.
At the moment when the long blade was pulled out, a blood mist rose up
suddenly, wrapping around the blood thief completely.
This was the blood warrior’s ultimate move, the blood demon’s awakening.
The awakened blood demon could ignore all damage, and its attack and
movement speed were greatly enhanced.
The sword moved to create a bloody sword flower, suppressing heavens and
earth and rushing towards the blood thief.
It was over.
There was no doubt about it, the blood thief was going to die!
It wasn’t only the people in the L&P training room who thought so. Wei
Xiao thought so, too.
Bai Cai hissed, “Old Bandit Yuan lives up to his name.”
He was really like a dog, but when it came to strength, he was also really
strong.
Wei Xiao had just been about to open his mouth to speak, but suddenly
stopped.
Bai Cai saw the same thing he did and was also too surprised to speak.
There was no doubting that Yuan Ze’s operation had been extremely strong.
However…
Close hadn’t died.
He only had a few dozen HP left, and it was already a critical injury among
critical injuries, with his health bar dropping down until it was basically
empty.
Any light touch, even if the blood demon just touched him slightly, would
be enough to make him fall to the ground.
But…
The blood raven thief started up its blood oath skill. The ravens screamed,
raven feathers swirled, then accurately wrapped around the blood warrior in
front of him.
The 0.5 second control effect was enough for Close to make use of feather
transformation to pull away.
Yuan Ze was stunned briefly. By the time he was able to control the frozen
blood warrior, he’d already been hit by ‘blood oath’!
The blood raven thief’s ultimate move had a very terrifying blood sucking
rate based on its health volume.
The lower Close’s health was, the faster the blood sucking speed would be.
He was on the verge of being completely empty of health and had activated
the maximum blood sucking efficiency!
Yuan Ze, who’d been at full health, watched as his own health was sucked
away by the blood raven feathers.
The blood raven adjutant’s blood oath came from the blood demon
general’s gift.
But at this moment, the blood raven in the canyon devoured its general’s
entire life!
Watching as Yuan Ze was about to be killed instead…
The blood warrior once again used its phantom, and the phantom figure
rushed back to his side. At the critical moment when he had only one last
sliver of health left, Yuan Ze shifted positions and broke away from Close’s
blood oath.
This wave of back and forth attacks was extremely breathtaking.
Without mentioning the two people in the canyon, just the ‘audience’
watching outside could already feel their scalps go numb and wished they
could log into the game and fight 300 rounds right away.
These immortal level moves were too damned stimulating!
Wei Xiao’s eyes were burning. One moment, he’d wanted to go and
hammer Old Dog Yuan to death, and in the next moment, he’d wanted to
solo with the captain. It was simply…
“Ahhhhh,” Wei Xiao was super annoyed, “Why am I not in North

America!”
That way, he could use the blood thief to fight against the blood warrior,
and then use the blood warrior to fight against the blood thief.
How could such a wonderful thing in life be so far away from him!
Ch157.2 - I’m not on my own. I
can’t make him worry.
After this ‘thrilling escape’, Yuan Ze sat up straight. His attitude changed,
his previous casual aura disappearing as he became serious.
In recent years, he hadn’t tossed solo aside despite not participating in the
solo competition.
Not to mention playing against Kim Sung-hyun and Xie He, even Gary had
accompanied him to play countless solo games.
Yuan Ze wasn’t unfamiliar with it, and he was even stronger than he’d been
three years ago, but…
He hadn’t been able to gain any benefits from Close, someone who hadn’t
touched the game for over a month.
People would start to slack off after being comfortable all year round.
Yuan Ze had been feeling uninterested and bored since one year ago.
District champion, global champion… hollow achievements had made his

spirit relax.
What had he been pursuing over these years?
Number one in Glory?
Strongest top-lane?
Global triple championship?

No.
He was waiting for an opponent, waiting to have a full-blown battle,

waiting for the hot-blooded, boiling passion that wanted to burst out of his
blood vessels!
What he yearned for was this almost-forgotten tension and stimulation, this
excitement that made one’s scalp go numb!
He’d experienced this feeling not long ago during the winter training camp.
Wei Xiao had given it to him.
Now, Close had brought him even more of a shock.
Yuan Ze took a deep breath and became incomparably serious.
He wanted to win. He wanted to win this solo game, and he wanted to settle
things with Close before the solo competition revamp!
It was three years late; he should’ve given him recognition and support a
long time ago.
The battle grew more and more intense, and everyone tried their best to
keep their eyes open out of fear of missing something in this wonderful duel
between the two people in the canyon.
They exchanged health, pulled even, and pushed up their farm.
During the long 20 minutes, neither side got a kill, but they played
extremely fiercely.
Everyone was conscious of the fact that in this solo game, there was only
room for dying once.
The match would be over as soon as either side died.
The more the game dragged on, the more decisive it became.
A 50 second resurrection timer would cut off all their chances of recovering
after death.
Dying meant losing.
This was a real battle!
System Announcement:
Killing You Is A Matter Of Principle killed International Server Lu.
Everyone was stunned when this announcement came out, Yuan Ze

included.
What was going on?
Wei Xiao had seen it clearly. Just now, when Yuan Ze attacked Lu Feng, Lu
Feng hadn’t moved. He didn’t release any skills at all.
Wei Xiao sent out a question on the scrolling comments, “Did you
disconnect?”
That wasn’t right, the live broadcast was still on. How could he have
disconnected?
And besides, they were sharing the same network. There was no reason for
the captain to drop offline while Yuan Ze didn’t.
Yuan Ze looked at him sidelong. “What’s the deal?”
Lu Feng released his mouse and loosened his shoulders. He said calmly,
“Time’s up.”
Everyone present: “???”
Lu Feng: “I can only play for two hours a day. Just now, that was the last
second.”
L&P training room: “………………………..”

In the FTW base, even Bai Cai’s head was covered in a string of ellipsis.
Only Wei Little Xiao had recovered somewhat. “F*ck, I forgot about the
time!”
The doctor had said that Lu Feng could only play for two hours a day.
Before going to the L&P base, Wei Xiao had told Lu Feng repeatedly that
he could only play for two hours and that he had to put his body’s health
above everything.
Lu Feng had promised him, “Okay.”
It was a seemingly perfunctory word, but he’d remembered it from the

bottom of his heart.
Yuan Ze’s expression was stunned. “You… couldn’t you just extend for five
minutes?” Five minutes maximum would’ve been enough for them to
determine the winner. This brat…
Lu Feng rotated his wrists and looked at him. “We’re different.”
Yuan Ze: “???”
Lu Feng: “I’m not on my own. I can’t make him worry.”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”
On the other side, Wei Xiao’s face heated. He looked at Brother Cai. “Did
you hear that? That’s my boyfriend, the best one in the whole world.”
Bai Cai: “……………………”
Being half the world apart didn’t hinder Teacher Yuan and Brother Cai from
having the same thought: F*ck!
Since Close had already spoken, they naturally couldn’t continue playing.
After all, he wasn’t in good health, and nobody could afford to take the
blame if something happened.
Old G didn’t know that this was a mouthful of dog food and was very
moved. “Close is so responsible. He knows that the whole of FTW is
behind him and is taking good care of his body.”
Yuan Ze had a headache and wanted to ignore G.
Gary praised Close for a while, then went to comfort Yuan Ze, “Captain,
don’t be anxious. We’ll have a showdown when the singles competition
starts!”
Yuan Ze was upset when he thought about it. “In the future…” Damn it,
could they solo again later on?
The people around them didn’t understand, but Lu Feng tossed him a
sentence, “See you later.”
See you later.
The winner and loser hadn’t been determined this time, but there would be
countless next times.
Yuan Ze’s heart felt sour. He scolded darkly: Stinky brat.
In fact, he understood.
He understood what Lu Feng meant.
Yuan Ze: “Let’s go, let’s go. I’ll take you back to the hotel.”
Later on, this solo game ended up in Kim Sung-hyun’s hands.
Kim Sung-hyun hissed when he saw the ending.
He gave Yuan Ze a call. “Old shit, you’re really regressing as you get
older.”
Yuan Ze: “Get lost.”

Kim Sung-hyun lifted his chin, speaking in his strange Chinese that
contrasted with his aloof and cold idol level face, “Don’t think about eating
shit all day long. Be a little more promising. After three years, you actually
need Lulu to take it easy on you. Don’t you feel like you’re losing farts?”
Yuan Ze tsked and hung up the phone.
Damn it, of course he knew!
Only playing for two hours wasn’t a lie, but taking it easy on him wasn’t a
lie, either.
Otherwise, Lu Feng wouldn’t have dragged the game on for so long. He

would’ve won the game a long time ago.
But at the end of the day, they were at L&P. No matter how Lu Feng sniped
at him verbally until he couldn’t even lift up his head, it was still all done in
Chinese.
In the canyon, he didn’t want Yuan Ze to lose.
It hadn’t been easy for him to gain a foothold and stand alone in North
America, which was filled with strong players.
Yuan Ze’s heart felt very uncomfortable when he thought of these things.
Two years together, three years apart, but in the end, he was still being
taken care of by this little brat.
He really was regressing the more he lived.
Wei Xiao coaxed his boyfriend to sleep. Meanwhile, the list of participants
for the kick-off brawl game was under a lot of attention.
Bai Cai saw the results one step ahead of him. And then…
Wei Xiao saw it a moment later. And then…

One had an ashen face that looked like they needed to be sent to the
emergency room for rescue, while one jumped three feet high, wishing they
could hug Brother Cai and spin him around in circles.
Bai Cai: “This is damned…”
Wei Xiao: “Bad ass, Brother Cai! Big boss Brother Cai, Brother Cai’s little
hands are really lucky!”
Wei Xiao had five high ranked server accounts. In a moment of

carelessness, four of them had actually been selected.
What was more exaggerated was that there were only a total of seven spots
across the whole China competition zone, but now, four of them were in
Wei Xiao’s hands.
Brother Cai pleaded, “Your Majesty, for the sake of my hard work, please
don’t make me take part in the competition, okay?”
The opening match for the big brawl mode? He didn’t want to go. He would
rather die than go!
Was that a place where a zen youth would go?!
It wasn’t!
The heroes he was good at were either the priest or the priest.
When it came to priest talents, other than being a milk mom, it was a milk
dad. If anything else, then it was a medicine pot.
In short, there were absolutely no damage skills, and other than healing,
there was only more healing.
If he was tossed into a big brawl like this, how could he live on?
Healing skills couldn’t be given to an opponent, and a priest could only deal
damage through basic attacks with its light wand. If this was enough to kill
people, then Brother Cai would cut off his own head and let others play
around with it like a soccer ball.
This was why Brother Cai didn’t want to participate in the big brawl and
wouldn’t go even if it meant death.
Wasn’t he living happily? Why would he go seeking self-humiliation?
Emperor Wei’s dragon heart was pleased and he approved this proposal,
“Alright. You’re lucky and whatever you say is right.”
It was already a miracle to have one winning account. Yet they’d actually
managed four; Brother Cai was really a big treasure!
Bai Cai was relieved. For better or worse, he didn’t want to die.
Honestly speaking, not wanting to go and send himself to his death in the
big brawl was one thing, but Wei Xiao’s alt account ID names that he
couldn’t bear to look directly at was another thing.
Going and competing with those IDs over his head? He’d rather smash his
own head against the wall and die.
Wei Xiao went to the training room excitedly and announced the good news
to everyone.
There were four spots. Brother Cai wasn’t going, and there were just
enough remaining spots for everyone else to go and join the big brawl!
However, Xiang Liu smashed a whole bucket of icy cold water over his
head. “The organizers have set restrictions. There can’t be more than two
people from each team.”
Wei Xiao was confused. “I’m not going as a player!” He wasn’t going to
participate with his professional player identity. Why wasn’t it allowed!
Xiang Liu explained it to him patiently.

It made a bit of sense.
Obviously, the organizers had long anticipated that there would be a

possibility where professional players would try to snatch up accounts, so
they’d added such restrictions.
The number of spots allocated to each competition zone was limited. It was
understandable that professional players would want to participate in such a
major event.
Every club would definitely have their own set of national server accounts,
and there were rules in the account selection algorithm that meant that
priority would be given to high-ranking IDs.
For example, Wei Xiao’s five alt accounts. The reason why four of them
had won was because on one hand, Brother Cai’s hands were just really
lucky, and on the other hand, these four alt accounts all had very key points.
First, they were all high ranked national server accounts.
Second, they all peak accounts with differing professions.
Third, they hadn’t been authenticated with the same identity numbers.
So, given how these accounts were in line with the selection standards and
adding on Lucky Vegetable, it would actually be stranger if he didn’t get
selected.
Wei Xiao was very disappointed. “That means we only have one spot.”
He was the only one in the entire training room who was disappointed.
Ning Zhehan was already waving his flag and cheering, “Brother Xiao, you
can do it!”
After seeing the game IDs for those accounts, Yue Wenle also said, “You
can do it, grandmaster.”
Brother Cai’s eyes shifted, and his obsession with money flared up. “Since
there’s three more accounts left, how about we sell them?”
There must be a lot of teams waiting to jump at this opportunity. For
example, one easy target was Money.
Everyone: “……”
Seriously, just take a look at these game IDs. Would anyone really want to
use them!?
National server ADC––Close Has Great Skills.
National server mage king––Close Is Very Strong.
National server warrior––Close Has Super Endurance.
National server jungler––I Like Close The Most!
xiin: heehee these names

Ch158.1 - I have an extra account.
Do you want it?
Chen Feng’s head hurt. “Wei Xiao, you…” What were you thinking,
coming up with these IDs?!
Of course, Glory had a name change card. It wasn’t expensive, and players
could change their name for 99 yuan. For professional players, this price
was nothing, and they could change their name however they liked.
But this time, it was different. Since it was an ID that had been chosen, then
it was bound to the account.
When the time came, and the game organizers checked things over, the
account number and IDs had to match up. They couldn’t change anything,
so if they wanted to participate in the opening brawl, they could only use
these flashy IDs!
Wei Xiao was very frank and candid. “I was young and ignorant.”
Young was true.
Ignorant… F*ck, he probably was quite ignorant.
Wei Xiao’s national server accounts couldn’t be trained up in just a day or

two. Even if he had this level of ability, he also had to have the time.
After joining the team, his days had all been packed full with tasks. How
could he have the time to train up alt accounts? Especially accounts for
different professions; if the coaching team learned that he was doing such
‘improper things’, they would definitely chase him around the base and
make him suffer in person!
Wei Xiao’s accounts had all been trained up prior to joining the team.
A Glory season was very long. Wei Xiao had made great achievements
prior to joining the team, and so far, nobody else had been able to break his
records. It wasn’t clear if this boy was just desperate or very gifted.
Of course, this was also reasonable. After all, he was a person who’d
hammered people across the whole of the China Glory circle.
Before joining the team, Wei Xiaoxiao had really been ‘young and
ignorant’––at the very least, he hadn’t known that he could fall in love with
the captain.
At the time, he’d been a pure and simple Close boaster and fan. He’d used
these IDs to antagonize those haters, and had purposely gone up in the
rankings so that they could all see that Close was powerful and that Close’s
super loyal fan was also very strong!
As for ‘great skills’, ‘very strong’, ‘super endurance’…
Nothing was wrong there. Two years ago, the biggest impression that Close
had left on Wei Xiao was:
His skills were really great––he couldn’t win against him in solo no matter
what!
His physical strength was very strong––he hadn’t gotten tired even after
playing for 48 hours straight!
He had super endurance––of course, it had been a whole 48 hours! How

could a man be so fierce!
These IDs really didn’t mean anything else, even if looking at them now…
it was enough to make someone like Chen Feng, who knew the truth,
almost choke to death.
Close, what kind of big treasure have you fallen in love with!
Wei Xiao, who’d just won the lottery, also felt a little guilty. He tossed the
blame at Brother Cai. “What were you so anxious for? Would you die if you
waited for me to use a name change card first before signing up?!”
Bai Cai felt very wronged. “Who the hell told you to pick these IDs!”
Wei Xiao himself had forgotten about it. After using these IDs for such a
long time, he already no longer remembered how to come up with normal
game IDs.
He sighed. “The only relatively normal one didn’t make it.”
The fifth alt account’s game ID was really much more normal in
comparison––The Great Demon King Is Your Daddy. Although it was
related to Close, at least it wasn’t anything dirty!
Bai Cai said darkly, “Don’t worry. Even if you bring these five IDs with
you all in one go, people still won’t suspect anything.”
Wei Xiao looked at him. “What do you mean?”
Bai Cai rolled his eyes, “Who would go crazy with the truth like you?”
Wei Xiao clapped his hands. “Oh yeah, in fact they’ll believe the opposite!”
Now that it was mentioned, it seemed that it really was the case.
In the whole world, um, be a bit more confident actually, across the whole
universe, who the hell else would act like Wei Xiaoxiao
Two men who’d gotten together yet still dared to use these IDs boldly and
openly.
As long as someone felt a little bit of interest in the matter, they would feel
guilty about it and try to cover it up.
Nobody in the whole wide world would believe Wei Xiao’s ‘I’m greedy for
the captain!’ behavior.
Especially when it came to this person who frequently did these kinds of
things!
Brother Cai had a deep understanding of this, so he was able to remain firm.
If even he couldn’t believe that Wei Xiao had managed to get the captain,
then other people… ha-ha.
It wasn’t that he, as the Gossip Emperor, looked down on them, but
rather…
Fine then, he, the Gossip Emperor, was looking down on them!
Wei Xiao was relieved. This relief made him even more damned
magnanimous, and even more shameless. “If I’d known earlier, I would’ve
changed ‘like’ to ‘love’.”
The national server jungler account with the ID ‘I Like Close The Most’
was made when Wei Xiao simply liked Close, the type of liking that didn’t
have any extra thoughts.
But now…
Of course, he loved Close the most!
Bai Cai choked. “Brother Xiao, can we stop messing around?!”
In any case, to sum it up, Wei Xiao was very natural and magnanimous and
didn’t feel that these IDs were problematic at all.
Because of their past experience, coupled with his unconventional

temperament, Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle didn’t think in that direction at
all.
Brother Tang wouldn’t think about it, either. He’d been laughing ever since
he saw the game IDs, and now, he was still providing a ‘hahahaha’
background sound for the training room.
Chen Feng was flustered. “The accounts belong to Wei Xiao. You can
decide how to deal with it yourself.”
He was letting it go and not worrying about it any more. Wei Xiao could do
whatever he liked.
Fortunately, the event organizers were wise and powerful and had set up the
restrictions early. Otherwise, the whole FTW team would be put up like
ducks on a shelf, and the scene would be very stimulating.
To put it mildly, all the FTW members were fans of the great demon king.
To put it more directly, it would become a confirmed fact that all of FTW
were licking dogs!
The club no longer paid attention to it, but Bai Cai was eager for action.
“Old Wei, if you trust me, then you can hand it over to me. I can promise to
get you a good price, and we can split it 80/20.”
Wei Xiao glanced at him. “20 for you, 80 for me?”
Bai Cai: “What are you thinking! I was the one who submitted the accounts
and made it happen. Of course I’m the one who gets 80%!”
Wei Xiao: “Were you the one who trained up the accounts?”
Bai Cai: “Er…”
Brother Cai put up with the pain, “Fine, fine, fine, then let’s make it 70/30.
70% for me, 30% for you.”
Wei Xiao was too lazy to pay him any attention. “I’m not selling them.”
Brother Cai: “Eh…”
Wei Xiao, “We’re all brother teams. I’m going to just give them away!”
Bai Cai: “You might not be short on money, but you can at least let me earn
a bit!”
In any case, one of the accounts would definitely be offered to Money.

Captain Mo was rich and was generous, and his wallet was very loose.
Captain Mo wouldn’t even blink if he gave Bai Cai 10,000 or 20,000.
Bai Cai wasn’t willing to give up. He followed behind Wei Xiao, wanting to
see if there was any tiny loophole he could find opportunities with.
Sure enough, the first person Wei Xiao contacted was Money.
RR base.
Mo Hui was currently worried. “Not a single one of our ten accounts were
chosen. There’s something fishy about the lottery conditions!”
The cool and aloof Moonlit was in the midst of ranking and ignored his
captain.
Money went to find their support player, Ah Ling. “Young Ling, is my luck
this bad?”
Ah Ling comforted him. “There were hundreds of thousands of

applications. The probability of winning is definitely very small.”
Mo Hui: “Didn’t they say that the higher the ranking of the account, the
greater their chances of success?”
Ah Ling explained it to him, “The organizers must be afraid of having the

professional players taking advantage of the situation and making it so that
ordinary players don’t have a chance, so… they restricted certain IPs!”
Young Ling was really a smart kid. He was even able to come up with
something like this.
Mo Hui thought it over.
Ah Ling: “Really, captain. That must be it. Just think about it, our base’s IP
address is registered. As long as they restrict our IP, we definitely won’t be
able to win.”
The game organizers: We didn’t do that; we refuse to take the blame for
this.
Mo Hui sighed, “Fine then, it seems that I won’t have the chance to
compete on the same stage as little Moon-moon.”
Moonlit shot him a cold look. “If you want, I can beat you to pieces right
now.”
Mo Hui smiled like a fox. “Domestic violence is wrong.”
Moon God doubted life on a regular basis: Why were the two most
important people in his professional career both so shameless!
One of them was the Shameless Mo who’d brought him to Glory.
The other one was the Outrageous Wei who’d let him understand the
essence of Glory.
How annoying!
What he didn’t know was that when shameless and outrageous came
together, there would be even more bullshit!
When Money saw Wei Xiao’s WeChat message, he’d just been in the midst
of sending out red envelopes in the team group chat.
Captain Mo had a good habit. He would send out red envelopes when he
was in a bad mood, and he would even send out four digit red envelopes
continuously.
Professional players were always short of money. A small support player

like Ah Ling, who wasn’t as good at ‘doing business’ as Bai Cai, normally
didn’t have many viewers when he opened up his live broadcast. He was
still quite greedy for money.
Fortunately, his captain often supplemented his income, which was why
he’d been living so well.
After sending out 7000 or 8000, Captain Mo saw Wei Xiao’s WeChat
message.
Captain Mo casually sent over a private red envelope.
Wei Xiao: “?”
Money spoke with his red envelopes, “What’s up?”
Wei Xiao didn’t click on the red envelope. “What kind of happy thing did
Captain Mo encounter?”
Another red envelope flew over. This one held a crying emoticon: “I’m in a
bad mood.”
Your way of being in a bad mood is really unique.
Money sent over another red envelope. The remark this time was: “Sending
out red packets to make myself happy.”
It was fortunate that Brother Cai didn’t see these chat records. Otherwise,
his eyes might have been filled with green, and he might have defected to
RR at any minute.
Wei Xiao thought about it. “I won’t disturb you…”
Before he could finish typing, Money had sent over another red envelope,
using the remarks on the red envelopes to continue talking: “There’s no way
to play with little Moon-moon in the competition.”
Wei Xiao understood. So that’s what it was.
“I was just about to tell you, I have an extra account. Do you want it?”
Money: “!”
Wei Xiao continued calmly, “Each team can only use two accounts. I scored
four, and it would be a waste to throw them away.”
Mo Hui: “!!!”
Ch158.2 - The China competition
zone's Close's heavenly group has
come together.
“F*ck.” He cursed out loud at the base.
Moonlit didn’t even look at him and continued to show off his operations.
Ah Lin blinked. “Captain?”
Mo Hui was sour. “Quiet scored four accounts!”
Everyone in the RR training room: “…………………….”
What the hell kind of luck was that!
It shouldn’t be Bai Cai applying for the lottery again, right?!
Wei Xiao gave them the answer, “I can’t help it. There’s a God Of Wealth
on our team, and we scored too many by accident.”
Mo Hui: “………………….”
He didn’t feel heartache over the Porsche, but he felt heartache over this
opportunity to participate in the competition that could only be encountered
by luck and couldn’t be sought!
Wei Xiao gave the other side a bit of time to feel envious, then asked
slowly, “Want it?”
Money: “Yes!”
After saying so, he transferred money directly. The string of zeroes in the
number was enough to make Brother Cai fly up to the heavens.
Wei Xiao: “No need.”
Mo Hui: “It’s a small fee for your efforts.” It was just a small hundred
million.
Wei Xiao really didn’t want it: Firstly, he didn’t have much interest in
money, and he currently didn’t have anywhere to spend it, so even the
several million that his captain had given him could only lie there in his
account like a corpse; secondly, our Brother Xiao felt a bit guilty. Just based
on those game IDs, he was afraid that the relationship between RR and
FTW would come to an end if he accepted it.
The advantage of transferring money over WeChat was that if the other
party didn’t accept it, then it would just hang there and look attractive.
There was a lot of space for autonomy.
But this action made Mo Hui very moved. He praised and boasted Quiet
exaggeratedly in the base.
“This kid is so righteous that he doesn’t want anything in return for his
good deeds.”
Money: “No wonder Moon-moon likes him so much, he’s worth it!”
Moonlit gave him a look. “I. Don’t. Like. Him.”
Mo Hui: “Yes, yes, you just like soloing with him.”
Moonlit had just finished playing a game. He got up to smoke a cigarette

and calm himself down.
Mo Hui continued praising Wei Xiao to Ah Ling.
Ah Ling: “Quiet is so righteous. We can’t let him down.”

Mo Hui slapped his thigh. “That makes sense! I’ll go for a visit to express
my thanks!”
Ah Ling: “……”
In fact, he’d meant that the captain should play well and take first place.
Forget it, there was no chance he’d get first place. It was better to go visit
and express thanks.
Money sent Wei Xiao a message, “I’ll be right there. I’ll come pick up the
account myself.”
Wei Xiao had just been about to send over the account login and password.
Money: “Don’t you have three left? I’ll go and pick one.”
Wei Xiao: “…………” Alright then, he couldn’t stop him if he was insisting
on coming.
RR’s base and FTW’s base were very close. They arrived not long after;
after all, they were both set up in the same e-sports park.
Mo Hui didn’t come on his own. He brought Ah Ling along.
The main reason was because he’d brought over too many things, and he
couldn’t carry it all on his own.
Yes, Wei Xiao didn’t take money, but Captain Mo had a strong sense of
propriety and insisted on expressing thanks properly.
The other party didn’t accept money, but they had to accept gifts that were
brought for a visit.
Wei Xiao went downstairs. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the
dazzling array of high-end ingredients.
Mo Hui: “An Alaskan king crab and Australian lobster that just came off
the airplane today, and this steak that’s…”
Bai Cai had followed him downstairs. His eyes shone when he saw the
scene. “Captain Mo is here? What are you being so polite for…” Oh damn,
this pile of things probably cost more than 20,000. Money really lived up to
his name.
Wei Xiao said sincerely, “Captain Mo, there’s no need to be like this…”
Money was also very sincere. “We’re brother teams. There’s no need to be
so polite.”
Wei Xiao emphasized, “Yes, brother teams, we really don’t have to be so

polite.” So please don’t topple to the ground and be unable to get back up
when you see those game IDs.
During their conversation, Bai Cai had already taken all the things Money
had brought back to the kitchen.
On this side, Wei Xiao finally revealed his own alt accounts.
Since he wanted to choose, then it wasn’t just a matter of sending an

account over. They wanted to take a look at the game IDs.
Mo Hui’s heart was filled with gratitude and expectation when he looked
over––
Captain Mo: “……………………….”
Young Ah Ling: “……………………….”
At this time, silence was better than making any sound. One thought
surfaced in Money’s heart: Could you return the Alaskan king crab and
Australian lobster to me? Laozi wants to go back!
Wei Xiao promoted quickly, “Hey, IDs are like floating clouds, but gaining
experience is the most important thing.”
Money was in a complicated mood and couldn’t speak.

Ah Ling swallowed dryly. “About this… dare I ask… whose alt accounts
are they?”
Wei Xiao was willing to own up to the things he’d done, “They’re all
mine.”
Ah Ling: “……………………”
Bai Cai tried to smooth things over. “It’s alright, those who are innocent
will remain innocent. It’s just a game ID. Can it be compared with this one-
in-a-lifetime opportunity?”
Money & Ah Ling: “……”
Honestly speaking, yes, it could!
Bai Cai was reluctant to give up the pile of things in the kitchen. “You guys
were the first ones we thought about. If Captain Mo doesn’t want it, then
we’ll…”
Money gritted his teeth.
Ah Ling didn’t even have a chance to persuade him…
“Alright!”
Damn it, he was shamelessly greedy for the opening game!
Close Has Great Skills.
Close Is Very Strong.
Close Has Super Endurance.
Money’s teeth ached badly. He said to Wei Xiao, “Didn’t you say there
were four?”
It was too difficult to choose from these three. he was curious about the
fourth one that Wei Xiao had kept for himself.
Wei Xiao cleared his throat, “Captain Mo, believe me, these three are quite
good.”
Money didn’t believe it. “Let’s take a look.”
Wei Xiao must have saved the most normal one for himself.
Wei Xial: “… Alright then.”
Monks didn’t lie; the One Lamp Grandmaster really hadn’t lied to him.
Money looked at the fourth ID, and his heart felt like ashes, “You’re really
capable.”
Compared with ‘I Like Close The Most’, the other three were really quite
good.
In the end, Money took away ‘Close Has Great Skills’.
The names were all messy in any case. He might as well close his eyes and
just pick one.
After seeing off Mo Hui, Wei Xiao sighed, “I’ve really paid too much for
our China competition zone.”
Paying too much was really true. The China competition zone’s great,
bright image was going to collapse overnight!
They hadn’t yet become world famous by virtue of gaining a triple

championship and had made their debut ahead of time with this heaven
shattering craziness!
There were still two IDs left. Wei Xiao naturally focused on the two from
TPT.
This time, only three people had been invited as professional players from
the China competition zone.
TPT was a little miserable. They didn’t have a single spot.
It wasn’t that Eurostar was a lot worse than Asleep and Moonlit, but that
this was really too careless and didn’t seem to have an edge.
TPT had performed well last year, and they’d also done well during winter
training camp this year. However, compared with the public’s recognition of
Moonlit and Asleep, he’d fallen behind.
In a situation where there were only three spots, it was reasonable that
Eurostar-star wasn’t selected.
TPT was similar to RR in that they’d had their ‘army’ completely wiped out
in the lottery.
Fu Li had already been prepared. “We’ll wait and see. Find a chance to buy
an account.”
Eurostar complained quietly, “Captain… I could…” I could not participate.

He might end up wrung into a rag in this 100 person brawl.
Fu Li looked over.
Eurostar: “I can go!”
On the other side, Captain Fu hadn’t yet contacted any ‘sellers’ when Wei
Xiao had already come to find him.
When Fu Li heard that this brat had won four accounts, he was in a
complicated mood. It was a complete repeat of how Money had felt.
Eurostar was surprised. “Was it Brother Cai? Brother Cai’s luck is really too
good!”
Wei Xiao was modest. “So-so. Brother Cai’s the most lucky.”
Fu Li was a smart person. He said directly, “I want both accounts. In return,

I can share all the data from the opening game with you.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
What did it mean to say that smart people harmed themselves with their
own smartness? Captain Fu interpreted, “Is that okay?”
Money couldn’t impress Wei Xiaoxiao, but Fu Li’s data was too attractive!
Why were so many teams insisting on participating in the brawl opening

game?
First of all, this was a global event and the popularity was no less than the
global finals. Being able to go and show one’s face boded well for their
future.
Secondly, the global competition was about to start. Being able to play
against other players globally would bring them great benefits.
Fu Li’s bait was too big, and Wei Xiao couldn’t help himself. “Seriously?”
Fu Li wasn’t clear on how much money Money had given Wei Xiao, but
TPT had their own resources. He agreed, “Yes.”
Wei Xiao: “I took a screenshot!”
Fu Li frowned. “I won’t break my promise.”
Wei Xiao thought in his heart: Of course you won’t break your promise
before seeing the IDs. After seeing them…
Money’s attitude before he left made it clear that he wanted to take all the
gifts he’d brought back! He could still see the scene clearly in his mind!
Wei Xiao confirmed it. “I’ll provide you with two accounts that can
participate in the opening game, and in return, Captain Fu, you’ll share the
data and analysis from the game with FTW.”
Fu Li: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao: “No matter what happens, you can’t go back on your word.”
Fu Li naturally noticed that something wasn’t right. “Is there something
wrong with the accounts?”
Wei Xiao was calm. “There’s no problem with the accounts, they can
definitely be used to participate.”
There was no problem with the accounts, and they could use them to
participate in the opening game. Everything else could be figured out later.
As the ‘god calculator’ of Glory, Fu Li who could calculate a thousand, ten

thousand things, how could he not include Wei Xiao’s crazy operations in
his calculations?
Fu Li agreed, “Okay.”
Wei Xiao sent over both accounts in one go and included the game
organizers’ official certificate of identification.
When he saw these two IDs––
Captain Fu: “………………………………..”
The man whose expression wouldn’t change if Mt. Tai collapsed, who
wouldn’t blink if an elk suddenly appeared by his side: His! Mentality!
Had! Collapsed!
Eurostar leaned over to take a look––
He immediately transformed into a tearful state. “Captain… I don’t

want…”
Fu Li: “Shut up!”
As a result, the professional players from the China competition zone were
all assembled together.
Three invited participants: FTW.Close, 3U.Sleep, RR.Moonlit.

The four immortals combo: Close Is Very Strong, Close Has Great Skills,
Close Has Super Endurance, I Like Close The Most.
Don’t ask. If you asked, then all they wanted to do was to kill Little Lunatic
Wei!
The author has something to say: Hahahahahahahahaha
xiin: heeheee~
Ch159.1 - Kill Quiet!
Wei Xiao naturally wanted to tell Lu Feng about such ‘good news’.
In the middle of the night, Wei Xiao had a video call with Lu Feng.
“Brother Cai is really capable. Four out of the five accounts were picked!”
“Originally, I wanted to surprise you at the opening game, but now… It’s
better to tell you in advance!”
“Hm?”
“It’s just that these IDs are a little bit strange.”
Wei Xiaoxiao, whose facial skin was so thick that it could make city walls
feel inferior, was actually a little embarrassed now. “I came up with these
names a long time ago, and it really doesn’t mean that…”
Then, he slowly read out the account IDs one by one.
Wei Xiao’s face turned red after reading them out loud.
When these IDs were used by others, they were funny and silly. When they
were spoken with the soft tone Wei Xiao was currently using, they were
ambiguous.
Lu Feng sighed lightly, “It’s from those three days?”
He really understood Wei Xiao and easily figured out the origin of those
IDs.
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up. “Yes!” It was those three days and nights that had
haunted him even in his dreams.
Wei Xiao clarified for himself, “It was really meant literally. At the time, I
really thought that you had great skills, were very strong, and had super
endurance…”
It was okay when he said it just once, but when he said it a second time, it
made Lu Feng glad that it was broad daylight for him right now.
Unfortunately, it was the middle of the night where Wei Xiao was. He’d
talked until his mouth and tongue were dry, his eyelashes quivering. He was
shy, but couldn’t keep himself from continuing his reckless behavior,
“Now… It’s not the same.”
Lu Feng’s heart was shaken by his flirting.
“How is it different?” Lu Feng set down the document in his hands, his
black eyes locking onto him.
Wei Xiao felt numb and tingling from his look. “Just… your skills are even
better, your physical strength even better, and your endurance makes my
legs hurt…”
Even a person as well-bred as Lu Feng only had one word left in his mind
at this time.
It wasn’t a modal particle, it was a verb.
Wei Xiao had managed to talk himself into ‘that’ state. “Captain…”
Lu Feng knew what he was thinking. “Go to the bathroom.”
Wei Xiao gasped softly, “Mm.” His voice was light and floating.
Ever since he learned about this new world, not only did Wei Xiao not
cower back, he’d also become more enthusiastic.
“Can it really go in?”

“It will hurt, right?”
“But, Captain, that day, you made me very…”
“Shut up.”
Wei Xiao didn’t dare to mess around anymore. He was afraid that he might
tease the captain into coming back. What would they do for the big brawl if
that happened?
After taking a shower, Wei Xiao became even more energetic.
Lu Feng looked at the time. “Still not sleeping?”
Wei Xiao was reluctant to hang up the phone, “Wait a while.” There was
still a lingering taste in his voice that made it extra provocative.
Lu Feng closed his eyes and changed topics to put out the fire that flared
up, “Do you want to take first place in the big brawl?”
In Wei Little Xiao’s dictionary, other than ‘Captain’, it was all ‘Glory’. This
topic change was very apt.
“Of course!” Wei Xiao was grinning.
Lu Feng: “There’s only one first place.”
Wei Xiao: “So, you definitely can’t take it easy on me. I want to compete
against you!”
The corners of Lu Feng’s lips curved up slightly. “Okay.”
Helping him take first place wasn’t spoiling him. What really made Wei
Xiao happy was fighting unreservedly, the tense and exciting solo, and
competing for first place with his own strength.
Wei Xiao was delighted and happy again. “Are we bullying people by doing
this?”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “Look, regardless of whether you take first place, or I take first
place, first place is still ours.”
“We have two chances, but they only have one.”
When it came to sweet talk, Wei Xiao was really very good at it.
But his captain didn’t lose out at all, “Who told them not to have a
boyfriend?”
Wei Little Xiao instantly flew up to heaven. He was happy enough to

explode and called out easily, “Captain~”
Lu Feng was outwardly fierce but inwardly soft. “Sleep.”
“Hug, then.”
“Mm.”
“And kiss.”
“……”
“And also…”
What he wanted wasn’t important. The important thing was that Wei Xiao
wouldn’t be able to get out of bed in the future.
The next day, the list of participants for the big brawl opening game was
published online.
Without mentioning the other competition zones, just the China competition
zone’s list of IDs was enough to set the whole network boiling.
There was nothing controversial about the three professional players, and
there was nothing unexpected about the chosen anchors. It was only the
‘ordinary’ players who’d won the prize who were surprising.
It was all…
What was all this…
Close’s heavenly fanboy group?!
Wait, these weren’t any sort of normal fanboys: Skills, strength, endurance?
Are you sure you’re not being dirty?!
“The China competition zone is really a place with crouching tigers and
hidden dragons. Where did these little evil spirits come from?”
“Um… These IDs, could it be a fangirl group?!” Straight men were

obviously relatively naive.
“Are Close’s fangirls so strong?!”
“Glory has finally been captured by strange creatures.”
Soon, some people were shocked and spoke up, “Holy shit, I know them!”
“Previous poster, can we have a quiet discussion about this?”
Immediately after, someone else was also woken up by this reminder.

“F*ck, it’s them?!”
Those who didn’t know the truth all asked one after another, “What are you
talking about? Could it be that these people really are Close’s fangirls…”
“What are you thinking? They’re all men!”
“It’s not like they can’t be men, either…”
The comments under the official blog post exploded, and a large number of
people who were familiar with the situation flocked over to comment on
these IDs.
“Do you see that Great Skills one? He’s the top account in the peak
rankings for the 8th server!”
“Very Strong is, too.”
“Super Endurance and I Like Close are there as well!”
Passers-by: “Are they so awesome?”
“That’s nothing. What’s really awesome is their fighting power.”
“What do you mean?”
“As Close’s strongest fighting fans, they can stand up against thousands of
haters all by themselves, wage wars of the mouth against entire groups, and
leave everyone rendered speechless by their remarks.”
“They’re not only strong at flaming haters, each and every one of them can
also play at a professional level!”
“Yes, yes, yes, I’ve been lucky to run into them before. They’re very strong.
If they were to queue together as a group, they wouldn’t be at a
disadvantage even against a professional team.”
After that, countless ‘great achievements’ from these IDs were all dug up.
For example, in ‘19, when FTW’s performance wasn’t great and Close was
being criticized every day, ‘Great Skills’ would always rush up to the front
lines of the fighting and block thousands of troops with his own strength.
As another example, one time when Close was live streaming, he was
ambushed by a shameless anchor. ‘Very Strong’ immediately turned on
their anti-ambush mode and beat up the anchor until they went into
seclusion.
Yet another example, when Close’s haters tried to spread malicious

disinformation, saying that Close slept with fangirls, ‘Super Endurance’
gave an analysis that was as fierce as a tiger. Heinstantly pointed out all the
hater’s logical loopholes, and found the original source of the image and the
obvious traces of photoshop, causing the hater to have their account banned
on the platform.
And yet another example…
Forget it, there was too much material. It was just a mere comment area and
couldn’t fit it all.
The situation had exploded online, but the person who was responsible for
causing it was still sleeping deeply.
Wei Xiao was a bit ‘tired’ from last night and slept very well that morning.
In his dream, he was even playing solo games with the captain.
It was a pity that other people could only stand there in a daze, with dark
circles under their eyes.
Bai Cai, next door. “F*ck? F*ck me! What the f*ck!”
These three phrases reflected Brother Cai’s current mood.
Bai Cai naturally knew that Wei Xiao was a big, vocal captain fan, but he
hadn’t expected that he would be vocal enough to create such a shocking
scene!
Over these two years, Wei Xiao had worked hard at a well-known Normal
University, and he’d also been shining brilliantly all over the Glory circle.
As a Close fan, he’d fought at the front lines.
As One Lamp Grandmaster, he’d crushed others behind the scenes.
The ‘jianghu’ didn’t have Wei Xiao’s name, but legends of him were
everywhere. He really lived up to his name as the One Lamp Grandmaster.
Although Bai Cai had been in close contact with Wei Xiao over the past two
years, he really didn’t know about the things that Close’s heavenly fan
group had done.
Especially after he joined FTW. There were training matches, regular
competitions, global competitions… Every day was crammed full. How
would he find the leisure time to pay attention to these things?
His Gossip Emperor focused on professional players, and he’d deliberately

avoided news about players and fans.
Putting professional players together for CP was purely for fun and
entertainment.
Things were more unclear when fans and players were put together; Brother
Cai was actually very clear on this.
So, he was also shocked when he first learned of the shocking, immortal
things that Wei Xiao’s alt accounts had done.
If Brother Cai’s reaction was already like this, then there were others whose
expressions were like dead ashes.
Money looked at the ‘Close Has Great Skills’ account that he had on hand,
and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help twitching.
Fu Li and Eurostar looked at the ‘Close Is Very Strong’ and ‘Close Has
Super Endurance’ in their hands and wanted to go into seclusion right then
and there.
What was more deadly was that they’d submitted their certification
information before the official announcement.
Wei Xiao’s alt accounts weren’t bound to identity cards. If they wanted to
participate in the opening game, then they had to go through the account
verification process.
After going through ten hours of ideological struggle, the three of them had
finally succumbed to the great temptation of the global opening game and
completed their account verification.
When submitting the information, Eurostar-star had cried miserably.

Fu Li had made two cups of black coffee with goji berries to stabilize his
mood.
Money had gone crazy in his base. He’d taken away all the cigarettes that
Moonlit had hidden and set himself up to be a victim of domestic violence.
At this moment, they realized that they’d cried too early, hadn’t drunk
enough coffee, and had gotten beaten too lightly.
If they’d known about these black materials, they wouldn’t have certified
those accounts even if their life was on the line, okay!
To hell with the big brawl global opening game, this was a big brawl for
harming their reputations!
Money pulled together a group chat that consisted of four people: Himself,
Fu Li, Eurostar, Moonlit.
Group chat name: Victims Group.
Moonlit: “I’m not.”
Money: “Your cigarettes.”
Moonlit: “……” When you put it that way, Moonlit really had suffered!
Eurostar burst out into tears as soon as he entered the group. His crying face
proved that men could also be made out of water.
“I said I didn’t want to participate, I said I didn’t want to, I…”
Fu Li was quiet: For the first time in his life, he didn’t have a miracle cure.
Money had become an expressionless screenshot machine. Piece after piece

of black material was shared into the group. There was no need to zoom in;
just looking at the headlines was enough to make them dizzy.
After sending out dozens of articles, Money said, “Any thoughts?”

Eurostar: “Kill Quiet!”
Ch159.2 - I should be responsible
for the things I do. I can’t let them
carry this blame.
At the end of the day, Fu Li was a cool and wise study god who was famous
in the Glory circle. He exhaled gently, “Don’t panic.”
Money and Eurostar looked at him together and waited for him to help
settle everyone down.
Fu Li’s thoughts were reasonable. “There are 100 people participating in

this big brawl, and it’s a global competition. The competition committee
will definitely hold an online competition, and we’ll participate as ordinary
players. It’s not a big problem.”
Moonlit stabbed in with a knife. “I don’t know about you guys, but Mo Hui
will definitely expose himself.”
As famous professional players, they all had their own play styles. Mo
Hui’s style was especially distinctive.
Unlike in reality, Money was very stingy in the game. He was famous for
eating grass and producing milk, and he was very strong at controlling his
farm. His gun thief had very strong personal characteristics. As long as he
used it, his die hard fans would instantly figure out his identity.
Mo Hui: “……”
He couldn’t refute it. He’d gone to great lengths to get such a reputation. If
he couldn’t take the hero he was famous for, then he might as well die!
Fu Li came up with his killer move. “As long as we don’t admit it, then it’s
not us.”
In any case, there was no direct camera. As long as they gritted their teeth
and insisted until the very end, they would have nothing to do with Close’s
heavenly group.
Everyone fell silent.
It had to be said that this was the only way.
They had already submitted their identity certification, and the organizers
had been notified. It was impossible for them not to participate.
Ordinary players could be willful, but professional players couldn’t

embarrass the game officials that way.
However, what they feared the most was when the official daddies acted
inhuman.
After just two short hours, the organizers issued a new itinerary.
Everyone believed that this 100 person big brawl would be an online
competition. Everyone would just watch the live broadcast, and that would
be it.
Who could’ve known that the officials also knew how to play around?
The damned organizers got together and discussed it––eh, there were huge
business opportunities here!
Having star players from all over the world gather together at one time was
a grand event that hadn’t happened before in ten years.
The global competition was just 5v5, and a competition involving 10

players was the limit.
Now, it was a battle with 100 people!

The financial backers had already smashed money into advertising spaces
one after another, so it would just be strange if the game competition
committee didn’t do anything crazy!
Tomorrow was the opening game. Gathering everyone together was an

unrealistic idea, and they wouldn’t be able to find a suitable venue.
However…
They could divide it up by competition zones!
Eight competition zones had even been invited, and each competition zone
included several star players, several top anchors, and several lucky players.
Once it was split up like this, even in the China competition zone where
there were relatively more people, it only added up to a dozen or so people.
It was completely doable.
These eight competition zones were all able to host competitions. If they set
up their own venues and put the dozen or so people on stage, the ticket sales
wouldn’t be a problem, and the traffic would be shocking.
Each competition zone was already in the midst of their regular season. As
long as they suspended competitions for a day, then a venue could
immediately be vacated.
The China competition zone was rich and majestic. They considered this
wonderful occasion where a gathering of heroes would occur and set up a
super sized stadium that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
The scene was no less impressive than that of the global finals.
As soon as the ticket channel opened up, the fans rushed over to buy tickets,
and over half of them were soon sold.
These actions from the game officials were as fierce as a tiger’s and left the
four victims very confused.
Money: “Didn’t you say it was online.”

Eurostar: “Didn’t you say that we just wouldn’t admit it even if we had to
die.”
Fu Li: “……………………”
The god calculator had really run into trouble now, and consecutive
problems were coming up one after another!
To make matters worse, the certification information was announced

officially.
I Like Close The Most @FTW.Quiet.
Close Has Great Skills @RR.Money.
Close Is Very Strong @TPT. Eurostar.
Close Has Super Endurance @TPT.Auroral.
When the officials acted inhuman, they really set the example on how to act
inhuman!
Once the official blog was published, the comments were quickly
forwarded to tens of thousands of people. On the hot search rankings,
Close’s heavenly group made it to the top of the list.
The melon seed eating gossipers were all confused. “Has Glory finally
entered the entertainment industry?”
Glory fangirls were so amused they were going crazy. “No, no, no, this
is…” Magical!
A group of people came by to explain things, and the passers-by were as

stunned as dogs after they heard about it. “Is that for real?”
Glory fans: “This is like something that people wouldn’t even dare to write
in a novel, right?”
The passers-by: “………………” This is really too much like sheer
nonsense!
On this day, a colorful and amazing piece of history was recorded in

China’s Glory circle history––the highest level of ‘chasing stars’.
Of course, there were also those who were calm. Especially the fans of the
named players who’d put themselves back together after shattering to
pieces. They couldn’t help but try and find reasons to explain their players’
behavior.
“No way! My husband has a lot of money. He must have bought the
account. It’s definitely not his!”
Money really wanted to become her husband when he saw this message!
“My Eurostar… My Star-star seems to really adore Close, but Mama won’t
allow you to know whether any man other than Captain Fu is strong or
not!”
Eurostar’s tears shot through the skies!
“Calm down, calm down, this isn’t Captain Fu’s style. It’s 100%
impossible!”
“Do you remember that story? That 10,000 word essay that broke down the
rumor that Close slept with his fangirls…”
“Holy shit, that logic, that tone, that calm and wise attitude!”
“And finding the original photo from the vast sea of pictures, and that
amazing data analysis!”
Fu Li: “……”
He’d fallen into the Yellow River and couldn’t get rid of the fishy smell
now!
The three Chinese professional players entered seclusion and beat at the
walls, but the official daddies were given consecutive pleasant surprises.
Who would’ve dared to think that the remaining half of the tickets all sold
out in three minutes?!
And the broadcast price offered by the major live broadcasting platforms
instantly doubled!
This was the China competition zone’s new generation! The revitalization
(money making) of the competition zone depended on you all!
At last, the person who was responsible for all this woke up.
Wei Xiao yawned, rubbed Brother Soy’s forehead, sent the captain a
morning kiss, and then got out of bed to wash up.
Brother Cai banged against the door.
Wei Xiao, whose mouth was still full of toothpaste bubbles, opened the
door, “Wha?”
Bai Cai: “Wha? You need to f*cking hurry up and pack up your stuff and
run away!”
Wei Xiao raised his eyebrows. “What for? I, Wei Xiao, am right and proper.
What’s there to run away for?”
Bai Cai didn’t bother talking nonsense with him and showed him the
explosive information from online.
He’d only just had a night of sleep. How come the world had turned upside
down?!
Wei Xiao rinsed out his mouth and came back out to read it over carefully.
Once he started going through it, he noticed something, “Why is nobody
talking about me?”
For better or worse, his name was I Like Close The Most. Why hadn’t he
gone up onto the hot search?!
Bai Cai rolled his eyes, “Who the hell doesn’t know that you’re a crazy
Close boaster?!” So, it wasn’t surprising anymore.
Wei Xiao thought about it. “… Fine.”
He continued looking and felt quite distressed. “Captain Fu and Captain Mo

are quite miserable.”
Eurostar could be overlooked; in any case he was known for getting

emotional, and it didn’t matter whether he collapsed or not.
Bai Cai looked it over again and still found it shocking. “You should look
out for yourself. I feel that they’re on the way over to kill you.”
Wei Xiao stood up abruptly. “No way, I can’t just sit back and ignore this.”
Bai Cai: “Ah?”
Wei Xiao turned on his computer, his slender fingers skimming over the
keyboard as he logged in.
Bai Cai got up and came over. “What are you doing?”
Wei Xiao opened up his Weibo and said solemnly, “I should be responsible
for the things I do. I can’t let them carry this blame.”
Bai Cai: “???”
Then, he personally watched the amazing hand speed of ‘Close’s heavenly

team’. In the blink of an eye, a statement was made. Even before Bai Cai
could say anything, Wei Xiao had already clicked on the send button.
FTW.Quiet: Here’s the thing, I Like Close The Most @FTW.Quiet, Close
Has Great Skills @RR.Money, Close Is Very Strong @TPT.Eurostar, Close
Has Super Endurance @TPT.Auroral, these four accounts are all alt
accounts of mine. In order to increase my chances of winning the lottery, I
entrusted @FTW.God Of Wealth to help me sign up. Who could’ve known
that Brother Cai’s luck would be so good that he would hit the lottery with
all four accounts in one go? According to the game organizer rules, each
team can only send two players to participate, so I…”
It had to be said that Wei Little Xiao was a real man who took
responsibility. He told the entire truth without leaving anything vague.
The heavenly team victims who saw this all felt so moved that they couldn’t
speak––
Little Lunatic Wei, righteous!
However…
“Q baby, be good. Mama knows that you’re righteous, but how can so many
national server accounts all belong to you?”
“Quiet, you should edit your drafts even when you’re boasting. Are you so
amazing that those four accounts are all yours? And they’re also peak
ranking accounts for each occupation? Do you think that you’re some sort
of all-rounder king?”
“Daily joke. FTW’s Quiet has exaggerated all the way up to the skies
again.”
Was it surprising? Was it shocking?
The truth was right in front of them, but the whole network chose not to
believe it.
Money, Eurostar & Fu Li: “……”
Wei Xiao: “I tried my best.”

Cough……
Ch160.1 - Who the hell is friends
with you!
The haters ridiculed Wei Xiao for trying too hard, but his fans were
naturally more protective.
“Before Quiet’s debut, wasn’t he the One Lamp Grandmaster? Isn’t the man
who hammered everyone in the Glory circle as an all-rounder king?”
“He’s more like a farting king. Have you seen him use any profession other
than the thief?”
Back then, the grandmaster was a ‘hero’ who existed behind the scenes. He
didn’t live broadcast when he trained with professional players, so naturally,
nobody knew about his achievements.
Fans were unconvinced. “If he can only use thieves, then how come so
many top players have been completely won over by him?”
Haters: “Who’s won over? Don’t paste gold on your own faces.”
Great. When the fans and haters started fighting, the topic went even more
off track.
Wei Xiao glanced at it and said to Bai Cai, “Their combat effectiveness
isn’t high enough. If it was me, I’d retaliate until the haters instantly closed
up their mics and shut up.”
Wei Xiao lamented, “Forget it, forget it, I’m the captain’s exclusive fan.
Nobody else is worth me getting on stage for.” Including myself.
Bai Cai inexplicably choked on a mouthful of dog food.
This matter could be clarified further by releasing the chat records.
There were WeChat message records between him and Money, and him and
Fu Li, and he even had a screenshot of his chat records with Fu Li because
he’d been afraid that he’d go back on his word.
But it didn’t make much difference.
Everyone was just taking stabs in the dark and just wanted to join in on the
fun. They would believe whatever they were willing to believe.
If the chat records were released, then they could also say that it just had
been photoshopped.
After all, this kind of thing… it was too easy to fake.
Additionally, the whole network was having fun with it, and taking it too
seriously would make people feel that something strange was going on.
Wei Xiao was quite cautious when it came to these things. He didn’t mind
the whole internet treating him as a die-hard Close fan, but he couldn’t risk
exposing his relationship with the captain.
The consequences were unimaginable.
The heavenly team victims pulled Wei Xiao into the group chat.
As soon as Wei Xiao looked at the group name, “……”
Eurostar: QAQ, QWQ, QYQ, QUQ…
Wei Xiao could be regarded as having met someone who was able to cry
more than himself, “You’re about to cover up the whole group.”
Eurostar: “My illustrious name!”

Wei Xiao knew him well and also understood the quirks of his character.
“What kind of reputation do you have…”
Money spoke darkly, “Then what about me and Old Fu?”
Eurostar didn’t have much of a reputation as an idol, but the two of them
had two tons of it.
Wei Xiao cleared his throat. “I’m sorry, I can only be sympathetic but have
no ability to help.”
What else could be done? He’d already issued a statement and clarified the
matter, but the audience just wanted to kick up a fuss. There wasn’t
anything he could do.
The reason why Money had pulled him into the group was also because
he’d made a statement.
Little Lunatic Wei had been righteous and benevolent, and they could only
swallow this injustice raw.
But Wei Xiao was good at mobilizing emotions. “Well then, let’s turn grief
and anger into strength, rush into the big brawl, and overturn the world!”
Make Close’s name known everywhere, how wonderful.
These words were very useful. The three of them were inspired.
Since things had already developed to this point, there was nothing they
could do to recover their reputations. All they could do was fight and make
a big splash in the brawl.
They’d already lost face. If their strength was then ridiculed as well, how
would they continue in the Glory circle in the future?
Wei Xiao added, “I’m also to blame for this matter. At the end of the day, I
was the one who got you into this mess.”
The three victims: So you do f*cking know it’s your fault!

Wei Xiao was frank. “So please be sure not to show any mercy.”
Wei Xiao sent over a hehe smiling emoticon with the words, “Requesting
abuse in the big brawl!”
Money, Eurostar & Fu Li: “……”
In the next second, Wei Xiao was kicked out of the group.
This was the victims group. Don’t bring the war over here!
In the blink of an eye, the opening game for the big brawl was about to
begin.
Since it was being held across different competition zones, arranging a good
time for it was a little difficult. After all, the time difference between each
competition zone and each continent was quite messy.
The organizers tried their best to arrange for a good time and finally settled
on a relatively fair time.
The time they’d selected was 10PM for China.
Wei Xiao was recently involved in a long distance international relationship

and understood the time difference very clearly. He was delighted that it
would be 10AM over in America.
In any case, the captain woke up early. He just needed to arrive at the venue
by 9:30AM.
What Wei Xiao regretted was, “Captain, I can’t go and watch your live
broadcast.”
Lu Feng: “We’ll watch the replay together tomorrow.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved with his smile. “Okay!”
These days, he and Lu Feng would do game replays over the phone.
Although it wasn’t as comfortable as sitting together, it was still good to
hear Lu Feng’s voice.
On FTW’s side, only Wei Xiao was participating in the competition. As a

player, he had invitation tickets and could bring three people with him.
Chen Feng asked around. Brother Cai covered his stomach and said, “My
stomach feels uncomfortable. I won’t go.”
Xiang Liu was worried. “How come you always feel uncomfortable
recently?”
Wei Xiao saw through his intentions at a glance. He moved his mouth:
Don’t you know how to change excuses when you pretend to be ill?!
Bai Cai was afraid that he’d be taken to the hospital and quickly patched up
his excuse, “It’s not serious. I’m just afraid that I’ll want to use the toilet on
the way there.”
Seeing that this topic was deviating, Wei Xiao helped him out, “He
probably wants to sleep in. There’s no need to bring him along.”
Bai Cai: “…………” Thanks a lot!
In any case, the invitation tickets were limited, so it was okay if Brother Cai
didn’t want to go. Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle were waiting for the chance.
Brother Tang waved his hand. “I’m not going, either. Old Feng, you take
them.”
Chen Feng was definitely going. After all, he was the coach, and it was his
responsibility to watch the game. “All right.”
So the four of them got into the van and went to the stadium.
On the way, Wei Xiao took a look at Weibo. Sure enough…

The Gossip Emperor had sent out a Weibo message, “Tonight at 10PM. Be
there or be square.”
Bai Cai was a doggy thing who wanted to stay at home so that he could
open up his live stream.
It was such a big event. Many anchors would provide a live commentary in
order to take advantage of the popularity and traffic.
How could the Gossip Emperor miss such an opportunity?
The big brawl was also known as the big stewpot. If the Gossip Emperor
didn’t appear, then the CP fans would kick up a huge fuss.
Of course, Brother Cai had a voice changer and wouldn’t reveal his real
identity.
Ning Zhehan chatted with Wei Xiao.
As they chatted, Wei Xiao glanced at him, “Nervous?”
Wei Xiao was amused. “Even I’m not nervous. What are you nervous for?”
“It’s just…” Ning Zhehan really was nervous, “I’m afraid you’ll be
abused.”
They’d all more or less come into contact with the big brawl game settings
before. This competition had completely broken away from the usual
MOBA pattern, and many new rules had been made. What kind of routines
could be used was something that was still full of unknowns.
Previous Glory events, regardless of whether it was 5v5 or doubles or

singles, were all essentially tower pushing modes. As long as the
resurrection crystal wasn’t broken, players could continue to resurrect and
fight.
Although every death cost a lot, it wouldn’t directly result in the end of the
game.
The big brawl was different. Everyone only had one life; they would be out
of the game as soon as they died.
This was the most disconcerting point for players who’d already gotten
used to the old model.
They would cherish their lives more and play more cautiously, which might
restrict their ability to play. They might not dare to let go and play to their
fullest.
Wei Xiao was very open minded about this. “It’s fine. In any case, everyone
is in the same situation.”
Wei Xiao added, “We’re all starting from the same starting line. What’s
there to be afraid of?”
The van was only so big, and everyone in the car could hear their
conversation.
Chen Feng’s gaze swept over.
In terms of mentality, Wei Xiao was really strong.
When they were about to arrive, Chen Feng instructed, “Don’t be obsessed
with results. Get a feel for the atmosphere of the competition.”
At first, Wei Xiao and Ning Zhehan both misunderstood the meaning of
these sentences.
They thought that Chen Feng wanted them to feel the atmosphere in the big
brawl. They didn’t think that he was referring to the atmosphere of the
whole venue.
After getting down from the van, these two cubs who hadn’t experienced
big competitions before finally understood what Chen Feng meant.
The venue in front of them that could hold over 10,000 people was very
different from the regular season venues.
The regular season games were held in small venues that could only
accommodate thousands of people. In front of them now was a big venue
that had previously held the domestic finals.
Although this all-star game had been set up in a hurry, and the details in the
configuration weren’t as good as the careful preparation that was done for
the finals, this audience size that was more than ten times bigger than the
regular season audience was still a shock.
Wei Xiao had gained a little fame. Many of his fans held Quiet light signs
and screamed when they saw FTW’s van.
Wei Xiao was reserved. “It turns out that I’m so popular.”
Everyone: “……” Stop pretending!
When they arrived backstage, basically everyone was already there.
Asleep had flown in overnight. At this time, he’d directly curled up into a
ball on the chair to sleep. The make-up artist beside him whispered,
“Should I fix up his bangs?”
Cong Yi, who was beside him, said, “No need.”
The make-up artist asked again, “Eyebrows…”
Cong Yi: “No need.”
Make-up artist: “Then…”
Cong Yi: “His lips are a little dry.”

The make-up artist understood. “Okay. I’ll help him put on a layer of lip
balm.”
Cong Yi: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao wasn’t surprised to see this scene at all. After exchanging
greetings, he also found himself a place to sit down.
Money, Moonlit, Fu Li, and Eurostar all stared at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao was very calm. “Good evening, friends.”
Everyone: “……” Who the hell is friends with you!

Ch160.2 - He confessed in front of
the whole world!
Asleep, who’d been sleeping deeply, also slowly opened up his eyes to stare
at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao took the initiative to speak up without Cong Yi’s translation, “It’s
me, it’s really me!”
Asleep closed his eyes.
Wei Xiao continued, “I even used that account to solo with you before.”
Indeed…
The grandmaster’s clients had basically seen all sorts of alt accounts.
Cong Yi was laughing. “You guys are really capable. You can form a group
and make your debut.”
His coolly spoken words made the three victims instantly transfer their
gazes to him.
Cong Yi spread his hands. “Who told you guys to be so focused on fighting
and killing? Look at me, I don’t want to go to the big brawl at all.”
Eurostar was aggrieved. “Me either…”
Fu Li glanced at him.
Eurostar straightened up. “As men, we should fight in the big brawl!”
Cong Yi tsked. “Fighting, Euro God. 99 big men are waiting for you.”
Eurostar: QUQ!
He wanted to cry but didn’t dare. Life was really too difficult!
He shouldn’t have switched from the top lane to the bottom lane back then.
He should’ve switched to play support directly!
The only anchor who’d been invited in the China competition zone was also
a familiar face. His name was Tian Xi, a young man with dyed blue-gray
hair.
He looked young and didn’t seem much older than them, but in fact, he was
26 years old.
One good thing about being an anchor was that they didn’t have to worry
too much about their age. Being able to amuse the audience was more
important than their skills.
Tian Xi was smiling broadly as he greeted them.
Professional players might be more eccentric, but they wouldn’t neglect

others. They all nodded their heads in greeting.
Compared with Tian Xi’s smooth composure, the three real ordinary players
were crazily nervous.
Among them were two girls who’d been red in the face ever since they
entered the lounge, and their sighs came frequently after Asleep fell asleep
on Cong Yi’s shoulder.
Cong Yi shot them a smile. “Sorry, he didn’t sleep well last night.”
The girls: “!”
Cong Yi: “There’s a game later, so let him sleep a while longer, okay?”
The girl hurriedly said, “Yes yes yes, o-okay!” She was so excited that her
words were difficult to understand.
After preparing for a while backstage, the staff came over to call for them.
As they went from backstage towards the front step by step, they could feel
the shockwave from having the attention of thousands of people.
The host had already been talking for a long time. When the contestants
stepped up onto the stage, there was an amazing round of applause.
Asleep, Money, Moonlit, Fu Li, Eurostar, Wei Xiao, and Tian Xi were all
very popular.
In particular, there was also the matter of the IDs, which made the fans even
more energetic. They were very excited to see the holders of the IDs.
Wei Xiao had very good eyesight and had seen many wonderful light signs
from afar––
Money says, Close Has Great Skills.
Star-star sighs, Close Is Very Strong.
Captain Fu praises, Close Has Super Endurance.
Quiet Likes Close The Most!
Hm…
Wei Xiao was a bit satisfied to see that. Although his captain was far away
in North America, Close was lighting up the whole court!
That’s right. There was a feeling that the whole arena was filled with love
rivals.
Wei Xiao comforted himself: His boyfriend was too handsome. He had to
adapt to it.
The hosts interviewed the players one by one, starting with the ‘real’ lucky
players. The two girls were flustered, and the scripts they’d prepared came
out in a mess. Fortunately, the host was experienced and was able to guide
them well.
Next up was Tian Xi.
Although Tian Xi had never been on such a big stage, he was still a
celebrity who had millions of visitors in his live broadcast room all year
round, and his mouth was very sharp.
The host tossed out a few memes, and he picked up the thread of the
conversation well. The atmosphere was very lively.
Next up were the ‘fake’ lucky players.
The host smiled like a fox and asked Eurostar, “I didn’t know that Eurostar
liked Close so much.”
Eurostar had made preparations a long time ago. “Who doesn’t like Close?”
The host asked deliberately, “Does everyone like Close?”
The whole audience kicked up a fuss, and FTW fans yelled loudly, “We
love Close the most!”
Fine then, he didn’t need to ‘have a feeling’. It was true that his love rivals
were everywhere.
Eurostar was an easy target, and the host teased him for a while. But when
it came to Fu Li, Money, and Moonlit, she was more restrained with her
questions.
These people weren’t good to provoke. Messing up while streaming live

wasn’t something to joke around with.
So, the host avoided a certain sensitive topic and talked seriously.
When it was Asleep’s turn, the host was even more direct. She simply
talked on her own and praised Brother Sleep’s recent performance.
It was clear at first glance that this was an experienced host. If she really
tried to interview Asleep, then it would be embarrassing for the whole
audience.
Let’s play it out in our brains.
Host: “Good evening, Asleep.”
Host: “Are you confident about tonight’s game?”
Host: “Are you planning to fight for first place?”
Host: “……” Her salary was going to be deducted until nothing was left!
The last interview was with Wei Xiao.
The host had heard a bit about Wei Xiao and knew that he had a quick
tongue.
She’d seen how his words could be shocking in earlier regular season
interviews.
The host didn’t want to mess around and politely asked a few routine
questions.
Wei Xiao answered seriously.
The host became a little careless––he didn’t seem so bad. This young man
was handsome, his voice was crisp, he was polite, and he was really
likeable.
So, she talked a bit more.
Wei Xiao was very cooperative. It wasn’t until the time was up that he
asked, “Should I introduce myself?”
The host didn’t feel that there was a problem and smiled slightly. “Of
course.”
She thought that since it was Wei Xiao’s first time on such a big stage, he
wanted to let the audience remember his name.
The little sister who’d been coaxed into trusting Wei Xiao handed the stage
over to him.
Wei Xiao held the microphone and was finally able to say this sentence,
“Hello everyone, I am I Like Close The Most.”
The lights fell onto the dazzling stage. The young person in the black
uniform was smiling, his mouth slightly curved as he stared at the camera.
The tens of thousands of people in the audience: “!!!”
At this time, the Gossip Emperor was also live streaming.
Brother Cai had hidden himself in his bedroom, turned on his voice
changer, and was boldly analyzing the situation in each competition zone.
His first focus was naturally the North American competition zone.
Bai Cai understood a lot about Close’s fame in China––
For example, if Lu Feng was in China, then the opening game tickets
would’ve sold out in just one second. There would be no need for the game
officials to release the heavy bomb called ‘Close’s heavenly group’.
Therefore, the Gossip Emperor first provided commentary on the North

American live broadcast.
Originally, everyone had thought that it would be an online competition and
Lu Feng could simply make do with L&P’s training room. Now, they’d
changed it to an offline game on short notice, and the North American
competition zone had enthusiastically arranged a spot for Lu Feng.
In this regard, the China competition zone had also experienced a period of
jealousy over this. The content of the exchange had been somewhat like––
“That’s our top-rated player.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll take care of him for you.”
“Ha-ha.”
The North American organizers had even specifically assigned a translator

for Lu Feng.
In the Gossip Emperor’s live broadcast room, scrolling comments were

being sent out like mad. “That’s not necessary. Our Close’s English is
damned good.”
Bai Cai explained, “It’s for the Chinese audience who are watching the live
broadcast.”
The North American competition zone had taken this set up very seriously
for the sake of traffic.
Although it didn’t have much influence on the on-site sales, it had a very
big impact on online traffic!
Lu Feng entered the stadium with L&P, and having a FTW uniform mix in
with the L&P uniforms seemed a little discordant.
However, once the camera swept past and gave each person a close-up,
everyone stopped noticing the team uniforms.
The European and American aesthetic was different from that of Asians, but
universally, a height of 1.89 meters and a clearly high quality body was
enough to attract countless fans.
In China, they always liked to give a close-up shot of Close’s upper body,
and then rotate the camera to provide shots from all angles. This face of his
was always impactful enough to trigger a wave of screams from the
scrolling comments.
It was different in North America. They focused more on full body shots
and paid special attention to the players’ figures.
The domestic fans couldn’t help but exclaim, “Our Close is handsome no
matter how he’s shot!”
He had a good appearance, he was tall, and what’s more, he had wide
shoulders, narrow hips, and long legs––
Why was he playing games!
He should be an international superstar!
Bai Cai kept the fans company as they appreciated the captain, but his
scrolling comments soon began to explode with news.
“Gossip Emperor! Gossip Emperor! Quickly switch back to the China

competition zone!”
“Holy shit, Quiet is badass!”
“I’m dead, I’m dead, the Seclusion CP is real!”
“Quiet’s too capable! He confessed in front of the whole world!”
“What? What?”
The group all began to ask about the situation, and someone immediately
began to explain what had happened.
Bai Cai froze for half a second, his movements clumsy as he went to switch
channels.
The live broadcast channels for each competition zone were different. He
hadn’t yet gone to watch the domestic competition zone.
What kind of crazy thing had Little Lunatic Wei done now?
Could this brat just stop for a while?!
The frightened Bai Cai rushed into the China competition zone stream.
The scrolling comments had already explained the whole story clearly,
“Quiet is really the king of conversation topics. He said that he wanted to
introduce himself, but as a result, he came up with…”
The scrolling comments were filled with a whole stretch of ‘6666666’,

which covered up everything on the screen.
By the time Bai Cai switched over, Wei Xiao had just finished his important
affairs.
Everyone at the scene was in a daze, the host included.
Wei Xiao was very calm. He even blinked. “In fact, not only do I Like
Close The Most, the other four…”
The host came back to her senses and quickly interrupted his words that
seemed to want to scare people to death, “Right, right, right, the ID ‘I Like
Close The Most’ is Quiet’s!”
Wei Xiao grinned, “Yes.”
The host was now afraid of this immortal being, “In that case, let’s… take
our seats!”
Hurry up and start playing the game, alright? If the interview continued, it
wouldn’t be suitable for the live broadcast anymore!
The corner of Wei Xiao’s lips curved. He was in a pretty good mood. But
only Bai Cai could really understand what his expression meant––
Thanks to everyone’s disbelief, Laozi can declare sovereignty in front of the
whole wide world!
xiin: but nobody will believe you~

Ch161.1 - Please behave and eat
sugar honestly.
There was one other person who understood his expression. It was Coach
Chen, who was sitting below the stage. He almost fell off his chair!
Fortunately, Chen Feng’s complexion was naturally pale. Otherwise, his

current appearance would definitely make others suspicious.
Why did he look so pale?
What has scared you so much?!
Ning Zhehan was seated beside him. Little Ning gasped and exclaimed, “I
was almost scared to death.”
Cong Yi sat beside Ning Zhehan, and he didn’t seem bothered at all. “What
are you afraid of.”
Little Ning wasn’t on guard against him. “I thought that Brother Xiao was
confessing in public…”
Chen Feng came back to his senses and interrupted, “Watch the game.”
Ning Zhehan’s back tensed up, and he sat up straight. “Mm-hmm!”
Cong Yi glanced at Chen Feng out of the corner of his eye and didn’t ask
anything else.
The group of players had entered the competition stage, and the referees
verified their identities and equipment.
Professional players naturally had their own peripherals, but the ordinary
players were more casual and made use of the equipment provided by the
game officials.
The cameras swept over one by one, showing the layout of the stadium on
the big screen.
There were still only ten people up on the stage, but the set-up was totally
different from how it was in previous 5v5 games.
There were no teammates here, only enemies. Naturally, the layout had to
be set up in a way that prevented peeping; although nobody peeked at
screens in 5v5 games, things weren’t the same now. The disadvantages of
peeping at other people’s screen in a 5v5 game outweighed the advantages,
but the situation was reversed for the big brawl.
The game officials had combined the stages, and the ten players sat in a
semicircle, facing outwards. The screens had anti-peeping coating, and
there was enough of a gap between players. At the same time, it allowed the
players to face the audience.
Without mentioning how the game itself went, just this new circle seating
set up was new and refreshing.
At the center were the most popular professional players. In turn, there was
Money, Fu Li, Moonlit, Eurostar, Asleep, and Wei Xiao.
Tian Xi sat to Wei Xiao’s right, followed by the lucky ordinary players. The
two girls sat to Money’s left and had already started blushing with
excitement.
This all-star line-up had triggered the audience’s enthusiasm, and the live
broadcast room’s scrolling comments were also sweeping by explosively.
“The officials are so evil! They broke up my Money and Little Moonlit!”
“Ying, my Captain Fu and Star-star have been separated.”

“For the first time in so many games, the person sitting to the right of our
Captain Fu has changed to a different player.”
“Fellow sisters, look on the bright side. How about shipping the double
captains? Is the Star and Moon CP not attractive?”
“… Evil cult, get the hell out of here!”
Compared with RR and TPT’s ‘double pairings’, Asleep and Wei Xiao
seemed slightly pitiful.
Out of the two of them, one of them was the only one representing their
team, and the other one’s captain was far away in North America.
The game hadn’t yet started. Wei Xiao said to Asleep, “I’m in a better
situation than you are. I can see my captain when I enter the game.”
Wei Xiao was sour. “Fine, your vice-captain is watching you from below
the stage.”
Wei Xiao tried to get even, “Cong Yi’s no good. He didn’t even want to
fight side by side with you.”
Wei Xiao was very happy. “My captain is different. He’s still on the same
battlefield as me despite being thousands of miles away.”
Wei Xiao really had the ability to start up a conversation with him. “Yes,
yes, yes, we’re not teammates in the game, but I have Close hanging over
my head!” Just look at my ID, hey.
This time, they were real ellipses and didn’t mean anything else. He was
left speechless!
Fortunately, there was no team chat in the big brawl (because there were no
teams). Otherwise, if this segment was cut and made into a clip, it would
stir up enough noise to fill up the skies.
The audience in the live broadcast studio didn’t know what they were
talking about, but they could tell that the two of them were ‘having a good
conversation’.
In particular, in the Gossip Emperor’s broadcast, the cult CP fans had

already sprung up crazily, like spring after rain.
“I’ve never seen anyone talk so happily with Sleep-sleep before.”
“How about the Grand Sleep CP!”
“One Lamp Grandmaster, a man who can always light up Sleep God!”
“Brother Sleep looks at Quiet differently.”
“Yes, yes, yes, his gaze seems particularly heated!”
Bai Cai’s lips twitched as he looked at the scrolling comments.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t say anything.
He couldn’t just tell everyone: The grandmaster’s heart already belongs to

someone. Don’t blindly put a green hat on Close’s head!
Knowing too much really wasn’t a good thing. His heart felt blocked.
For the sake of his captain, Bai Cai diverted the cult fans’ attention by
switching to another camera.
Each division had already started the competition process. The cameras
were cycling through close-ups of each competition zone’s opponents.
Brother Cai split up the screen. The upper left corner showed the domestic
competition zone, the upper right corner showed the North American
competition zone, the lower left was for South Korea, and the lower right
was the European competition zone.
Coincidentally, the four split screens all showed familiar faces at the same
time.
On the top left was Asleep and Wei Xiao, the top right was Lu Feng and
Yuan Ze, on the bottom left was Kim Sung-hyun, and the bottom right
showed Yan Jiang and Xie He.
The previous Team of Gods showing up on the same screen in such a

situation triggered the tears of many old fans.
“I’m in a daze. Screenshot?”
This scrolling comment set off a thousand waves. Countless people began
to press the pause button and take screenshots like crazy.
Even Bai Cai took a screenshot.
The big screen that showed these seven people, who each had outstanding
appearances and their own characteristics, was really eye-catching.
Asleep and Wei Xiao didn’t need to be mentioned: one had eyes that were
half-lidded, looking sleepy as he nestled in the e-sports chair in his usual
half-awake state; the other had black hair, pale skin and broad eyebrows,
blinking at the camera and flashing his small tiger teeth, his appearance
enough to make viewers’ scalps go numb.
In a foreign competition zone and surrounded by strangers, Close was still

calm and collected. He hadn’t been seen in public for nearly two months,
and his short hair had grown a little longer, covering his ears and making
his jaw line appear more delicate and sexy.
Yuan Ze was to Close’s right. It was also a side profile, but their
temperaments were different. Yuan Ze had a smile that wasn’t a smile on
his lips, and his black earring flashed in the light. He looked flippant, and
his scum man aura was filled up to the max.
The South Korean competition zone camera obviously favored Kim Sung-
hyun. This beauty with the tear mole near his eye was right at the forefront,
and the other players were only shown in the background, like contrasting
green leaves that showcased a red flower.
The European competition zone was very much in love with making
trouble. They’d purposely put Yan Jiang and Xie He together and were now
displaying a super close-up of these two former teammates.
High appearance value was a tradition at FTW. Each member of the Team
of Gods had immortal level outstanding appearances.
Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun, and Close didn’t have to be mentioned again, but
Xie He and Yan Jiang weren’t bad, either.
The light fell on Xie He’s face. The corner of his mouth was taut, and the
corners of his eyes naturally tilted down. He glanced at the camera out of
the corner of his eyes, his gaze cold and sharp.
Moonlit was also known as Little Xie He. It wasn’t only because he played
like Xie He, but also because of his character.
When it came to prickly characters, if the God Xie from back then claimed
to be second, then nobody would dare claim first place.
To Xie He’s left was Yan Jiang, whose appearance contrasted sharply with
his.
Yan Jiang could be said to be the most mysterious person in the Team of
Gods, a support player who’d gained a spot of honor in the Temple of
Glory. Looking back on the first ten years of Glory, and even looking
forward to the next ten years, he was probably the only one with such an
achievement.
His features looked very gentle and elegant, and didn’t carry any sense of
aggressiveness at all. Sitting there in the contestant’s seat, he still gave the
camera the feeling of a spring breeze.
But believing in his appearance would be a huge mistake.
He had a shocking affinity for collaborating with others, and also a

terrifying grasp over control skills.
These two extremely contradictory attributes came together and created this
support god.
Those who were his teammates could experience heaven and hell at the
same time.
Whether it was heaven or hell depended on his mood.
There was no doubting that the former Team of Gods had a large number of
fans in China.
The cameras didn’t move, and the scrolling comments had already gone
crazy.
Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun, Xie He, Yan Jiang, Close. These five people’s
names almost filled up the entire screen.
The new generation of fans didn’t know much about them and started
asking questions one after another.
It was alright when they didn’t ask, but once they asked, it was endless and
difficult to calm down.
“Holy shit, is the Team of Gods so easy to ship?!”
“Listen to this elder sister. It’s enough to just eat some sugar from the
current FTW twin junglers. Don’t go and start digging up old things!”
“Please behave and eat sugar honestly. Don’t go and dig up knives! It’s
really distressing!”
The players of each competition zone were all in position. The
commentators also started the pre-competition warm up.
At the end of the day, the big brawl was still a new game mode, and the
commentators needed to introduce the rules to the players in detail.
After all, the purpose of this all-star opening game was to promote the new
game mode. They had to inspire the players’ interest and ignite their
fighting spirit.
The commentators for the China competition zone consisted of two famous
commentators and one active professional player.
Brother Big Mouth was one of the commentators, and the other one was
called Anwa. The professional player commentator was 3U’s Li Chun.
They’d originally wanted to invite Cong Yi, but Cong Yi had refused, so 3U
had sent Li Chun over instead.
Li Chun was quite reserved in nature, but fortunately, the commentators

were experienced and adjusted the situation accordingly.
Brother Big Mouth asked Li Chun, “Has God Chun ever tried playing in the
big brawl mode?” As a professional player, adding ‘god’ to their name was
a polite form of address.
Li Chun was a little uneasy. “I’ve tried it.”
Anwa continued the conversation, “How did it feel? Was it very exciting?”
Li Chun knew that he should toss out a tidbit at this time,.“It was really
quite exciting. I encountered Quiet in D Zone, and his plays made my scalp
go numb.”
Brother Big Mouth: “Oh? Is Quiet very strong in the big brawl mode?”
Li Chun smiled wryly. “He slaughtered 15 people in D Zone alone. Is that

considered strong?”
Anwa’s surprise was timely. “So strong!”
Through this introduction, they explained the basic rules for the big brawl.
At the start of the game, 100 people would be transported to the Sky Island
of Light.
The Sky Island was another space that was suspended high above the Glory
canyon, surrounded by a vast white fog. Players could vaguely glimpse the
wings of a big Roc and a huge Kun swimming in the waters below. It was
like a dream-like fairyland.
Directly above them, a golden semi-circle halo shrouded Sky Island.
The contestants would be within the aura of the halo when they first arrived
at Sky Island. As time went on, the aura would shrink, eroded by the white
fog.
It was very dangerous outside the aura. There were countless ancient
ferocious beasts wandering outside, devouring all traces of life.
Once players were exposed to the space outside the aura, they would lose
all their health within 30 seconds, and it would be game over.
So, if they wanted to live, they had to stay under the protection of the aura
at all times.
However, the area covered by the aura grew smaller and narrower over time
due to the continuous shrinkage. The limited supplies couldn’t support so
many people, so if they wanted to remain standing at the end, they would
have to constantly plunder and kill.
In the end, the aura would shrink down to the size of a single person, able to
cover one person only. This person would be the only survivor.
At that time, the halo would enter the survivor’s body, Sky Island would
disappear, and tens of thousands of ancient beasts would all surrender to
them.
Ch161.2 - The captain and I share
the same heart and mind.
The background behind this game mode was very mysterious, but when it
came to how it was played, the style was simple and rough––
Kill people, steal equipment, run around within the ring, and fight for first
place.
The map had undergone a huge revision, and other mechanisms on the map
had naturally also changed a lot.
The first change was the BP link. It didn’t exist in the big brawl mode.
Players could choose freely between all professions and talents. They could
choose four initial talents and switch between them however they liked after
entering the game.
In-game equipment and skills weren’t purchased through a store, but picked
up everywhere on the map.
What a player picked up, what they used, and what effect they could play
out all depended on the player’s own ability.
Regarding death, players could no longer resurrect––death meant that they

were out of the game. It was simple and direct.
Killing opponents didn’t reward gold coins. Instead, they would drop their
equipment and skills.
If the dropped equipment wasn’t suitable for the primary profession, then it
could be directly traded for equipment of an equivalent value in the store.
It was the same with skills. If the skills didn’t match with the talent spec,
then it could be replaced with another skill at the same level.
However, equipment and skills would only be replaced according to the

professions and talents the players had selected prior to starting the game.
For example, if all the talents that a player selected was for the thief
profession, then it was impossible to trade for mage skills and equipment in
the store.
So, although there was no BP, players still needed time to choose their
starting professions and talents.
The commentators naturally wouldn’t miss out on this part of the game. The
cameras switched constantly to the players, and the commentators also
analyzed each player’s choices.
Asleep and Moonlit were very direct. All four or their starting professions
and talents were the ones they were good at.
Asleep’s talents were all from the thief profession.
Moonlit’s talents were all from the mage profession. It was clear that he
planned to go in hard and fight until the end.
Eurostar-star deserved to be the spokesperson of the scrunched up crying

face team. The cowering star lived up to his name.
He chose the agile storm hunter and the gold hunter that dealt explosive
damage. As for the remaining two talents, he picked the holy priest and the
light priest, practically writing ‘afraid of death’ on his own forehead.
It was actually a good mixture of talents.
The storm hunter was very flexible and well-suited for running away when
they couldn’t beat the other side.
The gold hunter had two control skills and explosive damage. If he was able
to survive until the late stage of the game, he could destroy the heavens and
the earth.
The holy priest and light priest were both talents that Brother Cai was
famous for. Needless to say, they were absolute milk daddies. If they just
stood there and let others beat at them, they’d still be able to remain
standing like a man for 20 seconds.
These three players belonged to the extremist camp, to varying degrees.

Money and Fu Li were obviously more rational.
Money took two thief talents, then chose a warrior talent that could resist
damage and fight. The last talent was a support type shaman.
Fu Li’s strategy was similar to his. He took three mage talents, including the
agile spirit mage, the ice mage with strong control skills, and the fire mage
that had high explosive damage. The last talent was a support priest.
The commentators said, “The two captains’ thoughts are relatively more
stable. They can fight or retreat with talents that possess strong endurance.
They’ve picked standard line-ups for brawl fighting.”
Li Chun nodded. “My line-up for the big brawl is similar to Captain Fu’s.”
He was a mage as well.
Next up was the anchor, Tian Xi, and the lucky players.
Tian Xi’s strength was definitely not as good as that of the professional
players, so he strove to be steady and chose three warrior talents and one
support talent.
The lucky players took the talents they were familiar with, ones that were
strong in the current version of the game.
The final focus was on Wei Xiao.
The commentators looked at his line-up, and their brains crashed.
Fortunately, they still had a level of professionalism and reacted quickly,

“Quiet’s choices are very unique.”
Brother Cai, who was watching the live broadcast, sneered: That’s too
polite, Brother Big Mouth, just say that he’s insane!
His style was very different from everyone else’s. Wei Xiao’s choices were
super magical!
Generally speaking, players had their own profession specialties. For

example, jungler, top-lane, mid-laner, and bottom lane…
Each specialty had their own advantages, so most players chose talents
from a series of fixed professions.
Those who wanted to be more reckless went for all DPS talents, and the
more rational ones would add a healer. Only Wei Xiao…
His first choice was the shadow thief.
Anwa: “This isn’t surprising. Quiet’s shadow thief is very excellent.”
His second choice was a blood warrior.
Anwa paused for a moment. “It turns out that Quiet’s also good with the
blood warrior? It’s a pretty good choice, this talent has endurance.”
His third choice was the immortal warlock.
Anwa: “……”
Brother Big Mouth continued for her, “Will he lock it in? Or is Quiet just
selecting it for everyone to first take a look?”
Wei Xiao locked it in.
Brother Big Mouth choked, then steadied himself. “Quiet is always able to
bring us surprises. I wonder what talent he’ll choose for his remaining slot.”
Reasonably speaking, he should bring a support talent. Since he already had

a top lane, mid-lane, and jungler talent, taking a support talent should be a
steady choice.
Wei Xiao calmly selected the storm hunter.
Everyone at the scene: “…………………..”
Bai Cai rubbed his forehead: Wei Little Xiao, I’m begging you, stop
messing around!
Was this a line-up that someone human would choose?
Is this a line-up that can win?!
Isn’t it crazy!
Shadow thief (jungler), blood warrior (top-lane), immortal warlock (mid-

lane), storm hunter (bottom lane).
Fortunately, only four talents could be selected. If there were five slots,
would it mean that Wei Xiao could form a team and play 5v5 by himself?!
The commentators were confused by his actions and said euphemistically,

“These four talents are all very strong.”
What else could they say?
Let’s be honest!
These four talents really were strong. They were all talents that could fly up
to the heavens when played well.
The shadow thief’s light arcs, the immortal warlock’s thousand layers of
clouds, the storm hunter’s stepping on raindrops… they were all talents that
had high upper limits for their extreme operations, and any one of them
were real big daddies when they were taken out and used.
Wei Xiao took them all.
Taking them was one thing. The question was, could he actually use them?!
The scrolling comments in the live broadcast had already started making
fun of him.
“It’s happening, it’s happening, Glory’s number one poser is online. Let’s
watch and see how Quiet screws up and sheds poser tears.”
“Tsk. Does he really think that he’s an all-rounder king?”
“Q fans, come over and send yourselves to your death quickly. Your Q is
acting up again.”
“When it comes to gimmicks, Quiet is definitely ranked first.”
“He’s just grandstanding. I bet my head that he’ll die as soon as he lands.”
His fans were also very flustered. “Cub, don’t panic! Your mentality can’t
explode!”
“I know that the grandmaster is an all-rounder, but he’s now facing god
level players from all over the world…”
“I’m afraid to watch…”
“The haters are to blame for this. Quiet’s just taking the blame for his
brothers, but they insisted on taunting and jeering at him!”
So, the audience started fighting in the scrolling comments.
This matter was naturally related to Close’s heavenly group.
At the time, Wei Xiao had made a statement saying that the four accounts
were all his, but nobody believed him.
The haters mocked him, saying that it was impossible for him to have four
national server top ranked accounts, and flamed him for biting off more
than he could chew.
Wei Xiao hadn’t explained anything at the time, but now he was talking
with his actions.
Impossible for him to have four national server ranked accounts?
Biting off more than he could chew?
All-round fart king?
Come on then, he would let them see Laozi’s real strength!
Very soon, the trend of the scrolling comments took a sharp turn.
“Quickly go and watch the North American channel!”
“What?”
“Look at the Close’s initial talent choices!”
The fans switched over very quickly. Even the screen display in the China
competition zone venue cut a small frame to show what was going on.
Close’s initial talent selection page. First choice: shadow thief; second
choice: blood warrior; third choice: immortal warlock; fourth choice: storm
hunter.
His choices were exactly the same as Wei Xiao’s!
Even the order of his selection was exactly the same!
The fans exploded. “Is this… did they agree on it?”
“Oh my, I’m shipping this!”
“No, wait… this… wait a minute…… ahhhhhh this is too much!”
They picked the same professions, the same talents. But even though they
made the same choices, the audiences expressed completely different views.
Nobody would question Close.

Because this three-time consecutive solo champion had already told the
whole world with his strength that he really was the all-rounder king.
The voices of those who scolded Wei Xiao faded slightly, and some people
came out to provide rational analysis, “Honestly speaking, if he can play all
four of these talents, then it’ll really be very strong.”
“Nine light arcs plus the thousand layers of clouds plus stepping on
raindrops, then adding on the blood warrior’s high endurance… damn!”
It was a godly combination.
But it depended on whether or not he could execute these operations.
Finally, the 100 players were all transported to the Sky Island of Light.
When they landed, the audience could see each star player’s landing point
from the god perspective map.
“The Team of Gods has been split into five zones.”
“Quiet and God Yan have run into each other. They’re both in A Zone!”
The author has something to say: God Yan switches to healing and is all
kinds of unconvinced. Wei Little Xiao: Hm? God Yan: ……
Ch162.1 - This Quiet is no good.
He’s not calm enough.
In a normal big brawl game, the players’ landing point was randomized.
There were five zones in Sky Island’s outer circle. They were A Zone’s
Moonlight Wetland, B Zone’s Battlesong Plains, C Zone’s Falling Star
Lake, D Zone’s Shining Gold Temple, and E Zone’s Thousand Needle
Forest.
The names of the zones provided hints on the geography of each zone. The
Moonlight Wetland was a relatively rough area, and the Battlesong Plains
were relatively flat.
The landscape did affect the players to a certain extent.
The environment in the wetlands might be worse than that of the plains, but
the wetlands were safer to play in.
It was easier for players to survive in the early development stages in

complex terrain.
The flat Battlesong Plains wasn’t as easy to handle. It was likely that they
would encounter enemies as soon as they landed and instantly break out
into battle.
The game organizers’ ‘good intentions’ could be seen clearly from this
‘arrangement of troops’.
The Team of Gods, the specially invited professional players, popular

anchors, and lucky players… could roughly be divided into four grades of
players.
In order to make this starting game more interesting to watch, the game
organizers had secretly adjusted the landing points and basically divided the
numbers of each grade of players evenly.
The Team of Gods was divided up into the five zones, and the invited
professional players were also split up equally. It was the same for the
anchors and lucky players.
In this way, each zone would experience a wave of wonderful fights even
before the halo began to shrink, ensuring that the focus wouldn’t remain on
a single zone and make the game appear unbalanced.
For example, A Zone’s Moonlight Wetland was the zone that Yan Jiang
landed in.
This zone held three specially invited professional players, Yan Jiang
included, four anchors, and 13 lucky players.
When they saw this arrangement, some fans said, “The game organizers are
really taking care of God Yan.”
“Indeed. The Moonlight Wetland has a terrain advantage, and there are only
two other invited professional players here. In Close’s area, there are three
other invited players, one of whom is ranked second in the world!”
Because there were 16 invited professional players in total, dividing them

up equally was impossible. One zone had to have one extra person.
The game organizers had a lot of faith in Close. Not only had they put him
in the magical C Zone, Falling Star Lake, they’d even given him an
additional ‘master’.
“God Yan is a support player, after all. He can’t compare with the other
four.”
“It doesn’t matter! I already have tears in my eyes because God Yan is
taking part in the opening game. Anything is fine!”
“Yes, yes. My heart is already in full bloom just from being able to see God
Yan’s face!”
“It’s just… How come it seems that my God Yan is a little impatient?”
“Holy shit, you guys, take a look at God Yan’s talents.”
If they didn’t look, then they wouldn’t know, but as soon as they looked,
they were shocked.
Light priest, holy priest, elemental shaman, minstrel warlock.
The four major healers in Glory, each of them with more healing capacity
than the previous one. During normal times, putting any one of them in the
canyon was enough to heal up all five people in the team. Now that there
were four of them… were they going to flood the whole Moonlight Wetland
with milk?!
As the number one support player in Glory, there was nothing wrong with
Yan Jiang taking these talents. After all, they were all talents that could
perform miracles in his hands.
However, the problem was that the current game mode was the big brawl
mode. It was a single player mode where all 99 other players were enemies!
Taking four healers? He couldn’t heal others. Was he planning to kill others
using his basic attack?
It was unrealistic!
These four talents also had one fatal weakness; they didn’t have any attack
skills.
They could either give small heals, large heals, cast control skills or
resurrect other players.
There was definitely enough self-preservation ability, but the problem was,
where was the DPS?
How was he supposed to participate in the competition without any DPS?!
Some old fans spoke up, “I get it.”
“I get it, too.”
“Alright then… As long as the big boss is happy.”
The audience could watch from god’s perspective, but the players who
entered the game didn’t know as much about the situation.
For example, in A Zone, they didn’t even know who their enemy was, let
alone their enemies’ talents. Everything was unknown, which gave rise to
suspense.
Wei Xiao had played in the big brawl mode before and knew about the five
zones.
He preferred the Battlesong Plains, because it meant straight up fighting. It

was direct and to the point.
The Moonlight Wetland, which required careful development, wasn’t as

suited to his personality.
Of course, he was able to adapt and adjust easily no matter where he was,
so wherever he landed wouldn’t affect his state in the competition.
After landing, Wei Xiao immediately switched to his shadow thief form and
entered stealth after upgrading his first skill.
Although he’d willfully chosen four completely different talents, his

thoughts were very clear: not only could he play these heroes well, he’d
also chosen them because he had to be strong from the early stage to the
later stages, and there were many small details in the operations of these
talents that could deal with different situations.
For example, the shadow thief: after using stealth, he would become a very
lethal early stage killer!
Wei Xiao carefully looked at the terrain. The Moonlight Wetland was dark
and humid. Except for the halo that covered the whole of Sky Island, there
were only various dark plants that lived in the swamp.
Stepping into the swamp wouldn’t cause players to die immediately, but
they would lose health continuously. For the players, who only had one life,
losing health was very painful.
He carefully explored the terrain, trying to obtain some resources and

increase his fighting power before he ran into any opponents.
Each zone on Sky Island held randomly dropped equipment and skill
points.
If the equipment was picked up and put on, they would naturally improve a
player’s combat power. Skill points could activate new skills or be used to
upgrade existing skill levels.
Wei Xiao forged onward. His luck wasn’t bad, and he picked up an iron
sword and two skill points.
The iron sword was for physical strength type professions. After picking it
up, Wei Xiao also allocated the skill points to his shadow thief, and was
now two skill points away from activating his light arcs. Unfortunately, the
game wouldn’t give him the chance to continue exploring.
There was a row of black magic vines ahead of him. Wei Xiao was just
about to cross over it when a floating exclamation mark suddenly appeared
over his head. His senses tingled: there were other people around!
And it was another shadow thief like him.
Where were they…
Wei Xiao knew that the other side could also see an exclamation mark over
their heads, and they must know of his existence.
There were many heroes in Glory who had stealth skills. Other than
camouflage skills that allowed players to integrate into the terrain, skills
that had real stealth would give other players a prompt when they
approached.
Each talent had its own prompt style. For example, when it was a shadow
thief, the exclamation mark would flash, just like this.
Although it was impossible to determine where the other party was, they
certainly weren’t far away, and were likely even in the range of attack.
Wei Xiao was unable to judge where the other side was, and the other side
couldn’t determine where Wei Xiao was. It was very difficult for anything
to happen if this deadlock continued.
What to do?
Many people in the audience had noticed the situation.
Quiet wasn’t known internationally, but the person he’d encountered was a
famous top anchor from the South Korean competition zone, Xu Tianqi.
Xu Tianqi was very good at playing thieves. At this time, many people were
watching the situation from his perspective.
Fans from South Korea cheered excitedly, “First Blood! Hurry and take
First Blood!”
“Who is this Quiet? Never seen him before.”
“FTW’s new jungler.”
The Korean audience who only learned about this now: “What? FTW
switched junglers? Did Close retire?”
“Upstairs, didn’t you watch the winter training camp games?”
“What’s so good about watching the winter training camp?”
“Ha, this year’s FTW is really interesting. Don’t underestimate this Quiet.”
“Big brother, abuse him! Let him experience the strength of the strongest
thief in our competition zone!”
“Hurry up, take First Blood. Xu Tianqi, you’ll be the number one in the
whole world!”
Getting First Blood in the big brawl was different from getting First Blood
in 5v5. This First Blood announcement would be announced across the
entire map and would be seen by all 100 players who participated in the
game.
The honor of being able to obtain First Blood amongst the world’s top
players, and in a situation where the game was being broadcast globally was
too tempting!
In the Moonlight Wetland, Wei Xiao suddenly cancelled his stealth mode.
The scrolling comments immediately lamented, “This Quiet is no good.

He’s not calm enough.”
“Xu Tianqi’s chances of winning are stable. Who would’ve dared to think
that the person to win First Blood would be an anchor from our competition
zone…”
“!!!”
Even before the audience had finished talking on the scrolling comments,
they watched as Wei Xiao turned around from where he was standing in
front of the magic vines and used a shadow attack, landing it accurately on
the person behind him, breaking the other party’s stealth mode.
Xu Tianqi froze for a moment. By the time he reacted, a series of combos

had already swept over, making his scalp go numb.
At this time, the commentators had also noticed the fight. They started
analyzing the situation after switching the camera over.
“Quiet is very smart. He cancelled his own stealth in order to lure his
opponent in to attack.”
“Based on his understanding of thieves, he knew where Xu Tianqi would
launch a sneak attack. This way, he can accurately pinpoint where the other
side would approach.”
“There should also be an element of luck behind it. Even if he could judge
the positioning of his opponent, grasping the right time isn’t easy.”
The shadow thief had an attack bonus when it attacked from behind. Most
shadow thieves would instinctively choose to attack from behind.
It was normal for Wei Xiao to be able to predict this. What was really
shocking was his control over the timing.
How had he known that Xu Tianqi would attack at that particular moment?
How had he managed to grasp this timing within only a fraction of a

second?
Those who were watching from god’s perspective didn’t understand,

because they couldn’t hear the sounds from the game.
Everyone (including the commentators) were still a little unfamiliar with

the big brawl map.
Even if they’d tried it on the test servers, there were many details that they
may not have noticed yet.
Wei Xiao was different.
He’d prepared very seriously for this opening game.
The reason why he could control the timing so accurately was because of
the sound of footsteps.
Due to the Moonlight Wetland’s special terrain, there would be an

extremely light sound of footsteps that could be heard within a certain
range.
The place where Wei Xiao had removed his stealth had been selected very
carefully. It was just under the crawling magic vines.
The magic vines were piled up like a small hill, with countless small vines
beneath. It seemed that the swamp was poisonous, the toxins having eroded
the small vines into dry, gray husks.
Wei Xiao had tested this effect before when he was in stealth; if he stepped
on these vines, the sound of his footsteps would be extra clear. That was
why he’d focused on this spot.
In front of him was a hill-like pile of magic vines, and behind him were the
withered vines. As long as the shadow thief approached…
Wei Xiao was very focused. After hearing the rustling sound, he turned
around and immediately launched a shadow attack on the other shadow
thief!
Ch162.2 - The great demon king is
still the great demon king.
Once an attack hit, stealth mode would disappear automatically. Soo

Chanhee, the anchor who was caught by surprise, completely forgot about
using his skills!
Wei Xiao wouldn’t let go of such an opportunity. Although he didn’t have

his light arcs yet, as long as he linked up his shadow attacks well, he would
still be able to DPS like crazy with no cooldowns!
Soo Chanhee saw that his health was plummeting and quickly switched
talents, from shadow thief to light priest.
It was clear that his starting talents included a support talent.
The commentator spoke quickly, “Soo Chanhee picked up some good

resources in the early stage. He activated the light priest’s first skill, holy
land, and can recover a lot of health with his heals!”
“This is one of the things that makes the big brawl mode special. Players
can switch seamlessly between their four starting talents, which is
equivalent to each player having 16 skills!”
“Of course, they also have to pick up enough skill points to activate them
all. It also means that the players have to be more careful about their
choices.”
“It has to be said that Soo Chanhee’s judgement was very correct this time.
Instead of putting all the skill points he’d picked up to his shadow thief, he
also invested in a healing skill.”
Was that really the right way?

Soo Chanhee had anxiously switched to the light priest, but would he really
be able to heal himself?
Wei Xiao’s black eyes flashed slightly, a sliver of a smile appearing at his
lips. “Bye bye now.”
Everyone watched as the shadow thief’s figure shook, and he moved into
position behind Soo Chanhee, stabbing his blade into his back. Special
effects were triggered, and blood spilled. By the time Soo Chanhee turned
around, the shadow thief moved with him, attacking him from behind again.
Shadow attacks linked with general attacks, and every hit caused critical
damage!
Soo Chanhee’s fans were confused, and the live broadcast room scrolling
comments were filled with question marks.
But the commentators were clear on the situation. “The light priest’s
movement speed is low, and his actions are much slower than the shadow
thief’s.”
“Although the light priest has high defense and can recover health, it’s
meaningless when faced with the shadow thief’s high DPS!”
“It seems that it was a bad move for Soo Chanhee switching to the light
priest.”
Whoever said that the shadow thief had to use light arcs in order to deal
damage?
A real shadow thief could stack up fatal damage like crazy!
The flying blade broke through the opponent’s defense, and there was a
DPS bonus for attacking from behind. The shadow attacks came
continuously, and under these extremely precise and accurate operations,
even a light priest that was using its ultimate move and not just ‘holy land’
wouldn’t be able to withstand this damage.
Soo Chanhee quickly switched talents again. This time, he switched to the
immortal thief.
The immortal thief was very agile and very suited for escaping.
Unfortunately…
System Announcement: First Blood!
FTW.Close killed S2S.Baron!
All the players on Sky Island heard this announcement, and everyone in the
live broadcast rooms from all over the world saw it as well.
First Blood had appeared.
Close had killed an invited professional player, Baron!
Wei Xiao’s fingers trembled slightly. He suppressed the quiver in his body,
and he took away Soo Chanhee’s last sliver of health with his blade.
Zone Announcement: I Like Close The Most killed Soo Chanhee.
The Chinese audience exploded, and the entire venue burst out with a wave
of startling cheers.
The contestants were all wearing headphones, but they could still hear the
excited screams.
FTW! Close! Quiet!
Badass!!!
First Blood in the global opening game had come from the China
competition zone.
The opponent that Close had killed wasn’t a regular lucky player, nor was it
an anchor who had more gimmicks than strength, but a star player, Baron,
one of the 16 specially invited professional players!
The North American competition zone had also exploded with excitement.
Baron was a famous player from Europe. He was very good at playing
jungler and had once smeared Old G all over the ground. He was one of the
most hated players in North America.
Oh, Close was another one. Who told him to always abuse Old G until he’d
dropped his pants and had to run around naked?
They’d been very happy seeing that Close and Baron had run into each
other.
Close had chosen to use the shadow thief talent at the start of the game. He
was more pitiful than Wei Xiao was and hadn’t managed to pick up any
equipment. He’d only picked up two skill points.
Baron had been quite lucky. Not only had he picked up an iron sword, he’d
also obtained three skill points.
The difference between having an extra skill point and iron sword was
significant. In a 5v5 situation, it was equivalent to a crushing difference in
both farm and level, and it wouldn’t be easy to overcome.
This was especially the case when it came to top players. Their operation
level was solid and wouldn’t easily make mistakes.
Additionally, the place where Close was located was really unlucky.
Falling Star Lake was the only underwater zone.
Players had to dive underwater in order to pick up resources. However, not

only would diving slow down a player’s movement speed and reaction
ability, it would also apply a state of suffocation. Once that state ended, if
the player had gone too deep and couldn’t get out of the water in time to
breathe again, they would enter a state of continuous health loss.
Countless players had drowned to death in Falling Star Lake while playing
in the test servers.
This zone was even worse than the Moonlight Wetland. Generally speaking,
very few fights would break out in this zone in the early stages.
However, Close and Baron had run into each other head-on.
There were two skill points flashing and shining at the bottom of the lake.
The two of them noticed the skill points at the same time and discovered
each other’s presence as they approached.
They were underwater, suffocating.
Fight?
Baron was still hesitating when Close had already launched a surprise
attack. He didn’t have any equipment, so his basic attack damage was very
low. Fortunately, his blade flew over fast enough, breaking through Baron’s
defense, which was close to zero.
At the end of the day, Baron was an immortal level jungler in the European
competition zone. He reacted quickly and pulled away to face Close
directly.
He’d chosen to start with the devil thief talent, which was squishy and
fragile, but had a long range of attack.
Unfortunately, Close had chosen to upgrade shadow attack and assault. One
of them allowed him to continuously brush out combo attacks, and the other
one gave him two movement segments that he could use to get close to
Baron.
Underwater combat wasn’t easy. Compared with fighting on the ground, the
heroes moved more slowly and it required some time to adapt.
Baran was still getting used to it, but Close had ignored all obstacles and
didn’t even concern himself with the suffocation value that was sending out
warnings like crazy. He played like he was on land, perfectly predicting his
opponent’s position and stabbing Baron in the back with every attack.
No way…
Baron was forced into shifting away continuously and was a little flustered.
If it went on like this, he would die in Falling Star Lake.
The game had only just started, and he hadn’t even gotten out of the outer
ring yet. How could the game end like this?
Baron forced himself to calm down: His equipment was better than Close’s,
and he had three skill points. If he fought against him directly, at worst, they
would both lose.
No, wait!
Baron’s pupils contracted, and he realized what the problem was.
Close…
Chinese fans couldn’t understand foreign commentators, but there were also
commentators in their own domestic live broadcast rooms.
They could see Close’s intentions through god’s perspective, “It’s all a
cover!”
“Baron fell for it.”
“God Lu’s acting skills are superb!”
“Close seems to be attacking violently, catching Baron unprepared, but in

fact, he’s using Baron’s understanding of the shadow thief to force him to
move.”
“Indeed. As a jungler, Baron is too familiar with the shadow thief. His
movements to avoid the assault are instinctive, and Close is using this point
to force him to move positions. Baron really is avoiding Close’s attacks,
but…”
“He’s also moving further away from those two skill points!”
The devil thief had the advantage of a longer range, but its disadvantage
was that its movement skills covered a shorter distance.
Unlike the shadow thief whose second skill had two movement segments,
the devil thief couldn’t span the distance and reach the two flashing skill
points. However, this distance was just within the shadow thief’s range.
Underneath the azure water, Close left Baron behind and flashed over to the
skill points after his movement skill had finished cooling down.
There was a ‘ding’ sound as Close successfully picked them up!
What did having two more skill points mean?
It was enough for the shadow thief to brush out light arcs!
What did Close’s light arcs mean?
Destruction of the heavens and the earth.
The audience in the live broadcast grew excited.
The visual effect of seeing nine light arcs in the canyon was amazing
enough, but it turned out that nine light arcs underwater could be even more
stunning.
Infinite rays of light lit up waves in the water, bubbles gushing out in huge
waves at the bottom of the lake. They circled out one by one, picking up
speed, then burst out with a bang. The entire Falling Star Lake vibrated with
the shock.
Stars fell, and the lake sparkled.
At this moment, the audience suddenly understood the origin of the name
for this zone.
Maybe it was unintentional, maybe it was just coincidence.

But when the nine light arcs exploded at the bottom of the lake, it was like
the sea of stars had been born anew as the heavens and the earth were
overturned.
Close came out of the water. The shadow thief’s cloak was stained with
water, and his hood still covered his features, leaving only a thin chin that
was cold, pale, and sharp.
First Blood had been obtained in a way that couldn’t be questioned. Close
had also looted the three skill points and iron sword that Baron had dropped
after his death.
First Blood came with a special reward, but nobody knew what it was.
On the other side, Wei Xiao had also picked up Soo Chanhee’s skill points
and equipment.
At the same time, kill rankings came out on the live broadcast platforms
from all the competition zones around the world.
The players in the big brawl couldn’t see it, but the audience could see it
clearly.
1st place: Close.
2nd place: I Like Close The Most.
3rd place: Marshal.
4th place: Xiehe.
They all had one kill each, and the rankings were based on the kill time.
Although this ranking was temporary, it was enough to let the Chinese
audience go wild with joy.
In the global opening game, FTW had achieved a god level start!
Ch163.1 - Why couldn’t he be in
the same zone as the gentle and
kind God Yan!
One characteristic of the big brawl was that once the killing began, the
players would grow exponentially in strength.
In order to make the game more stimulating, the game system had set the
equipment and skill point drop rate to increase gradually in intensity.
For example, at the start, when everyone was in the outer ring of the island,
most of the drops were low-level equipment like the iron sword, wooden
staff, and cloth armor. As the players advanced towards the center of the
island, the equipment level that could be picked up grew higher and higher,
and special skills would also appear.
These so-called special skills could also be called open skills.
Players could use these skills regardless of what initial talent specs they’d
chosen.
The various teams were still exploring the exact effects of these open skills,
but the ones they knew of included: flash (a long distance movement skill),
heal (recover a certain amount of health), enchant (seduce an enemy within
range and control them for 1 second), and speed (greatly increase
movement speed for a period of time)…
Many skills carried over from 5v5, but there were also some unique skills,
like enchant.
The test server had only been open for a short time. They still needed more
data from various games to determine what other special skills existed.
Out of all 100 people on the map, the only thing that was known for sure
was that Close, who’d gotten First Blood, had a special skill.
The camera director was very evil. They refused to show Close’s skill
panel, so even the audience watching the live broadcast didn’t know what
special skill he had.
Commentator: “There’s no rush. The answer will be revealed when Close

uses his skill.”
The scrolling comments were filled with booing. The audience was angry
that they were purposely keeping people guessing.
Even the audience didn’t know what skill he’d obtained, let alone the
players in the game.
They only knew that Close had a special skill.
If they killed Close, they could pick up all of his gear, including his special
skill!
So, that led to the question…
Kill Close? Who could achieve that?!
Wei Xiao’s heart was delighted: Captain had taken First Blood. Okay then,
the happiness he felt was like he’d gotten First Blood himself!
He picked up Soo Chanhee’s equipment and poked out a line of text for
him, “Don’t be anxious, I’ll rush into the final circle with your legacy.”
Soo Chanhee was a very authentic Korean player and couldn’t understand
what he’d written.
There were some Korean fans who knew Chinese. They translated his
words, and then…
“Ahhhhh, God Kim, kill this arrogant little brat!”

They all swarmed over to watch Kim Sung-hyun’s game perspective,
waiting for the moment when the most powerful ADC knocked down this
stinky brat!
But their God Kim was currently in a sorry plight.
Kim Sung-hyun had landed in D Zone, the Shining Gold Temple.
The Shining Gold Temple, Kim Sung-hyun, and one of God Kim’s
representative talents, the gold hunter, all added up to a very wonderful
‘coincidence’.
To hell with coincidence. This must’ve been arranged by the game

organizers!
The name ‘Shining Gold Temple’ seemed more normal than Moonlight
Wetland and Falling Star Lake. There shouldn’t be any problems in the
environment of a temple, which was just a building.
But players who thought that way were too naive!
The temple was indeed a building. From its appearance, it seemed very
magnificent, like a Gothic style church with sharp spires that reached up
into the clouds. Numerous figures were carved into the deep entrance hall.
Each one was different, and their only similarity was their indifferent gazes,
which were all focused on a propped up golden skull.
The Shining Gold Temple?
It was clearly a church of evil!
Its appearance was gloomy and terrible, and the interior was even more
sinister.
When the players were transferred over, they landed in a maze.
The minimap was covered with fog, and the players could only see the
location of the aura. If players wanted to disperse the fog, they could only
run around the map and explore constantly.
The Shining Gold Temple’s interior was relatively safe because the map
was large enough that finding an opponent to fight with wasn’t so easy.
However… the maze was too deadly!
Those who had a bad sense of direction could just wait for death inside––
this was even more depressing than being killed by others!
Although Kim Sung-hyun was a marksman, he was a high-end marksman

who could fight against the earth, the heavens, and even the air. He
absolutely wasn’t afraid of going up and fighting against people face to
face.
However, this type of terrain gave him a very big headache.
There were two major stains in God Kim’s life: One was the shitty Chinese
that Teacher Yuan had taught him, and the other was his terrible sense of
direction, which was bad enough to make people’s mouths drop open in
shock.
In the early days of the Team of Gods, Kim Sung-hyun had gotten lost and
had been picked up by Close three times, brought home by Yuan Ze four
times, walked off with Xie He five times, and been left behind by Yuan Ze
six times…
This three, four, five, six times had already become memes. It wasn’t until
Kim Sung-hyun returned to Korea and ‘teamed up’ with the human shaped
artificial navigation system Li Heran that things changed for the better.
Now…
The game organizers were really inhumane. Tossing God Kim into the
golden maze on his own was really…
Korean fans watched for a while, then calmed down. “Forget it, forget it,
don’t worry about killing those stinky brats for now. God Kim, take care of
yourself first!”
Miserable. He was really miserable. Just looking at how each competition
zone already had players who’d shown up on the rankings was enough to
make the Korean audience very anxious!
There was another person in the golden temple. Their ID was Close Has
Super Endurance, and the player was Fu Li.
The audience soon discovered this magical person.
The maze was difficult to walk around in because there were too many split
paths. Going through them one by one took up too much time, and players
would become increasingly upset with each dead end they encountered.
Fu Li wasn’t upset or frustrated, and he didn’t waste any time.
He picked up a second level ebony staff soon after he landed. His luck was
pretty good; for a mage, being able to pick up this ebony staff in the early
stages was equivalent to doubling their DPS.
In the entire Shining Gold Temple, with this ‘god level weapon’ in hand,
even Kim Sung-hyun might not be able to gain any benefits from him if
they ran into each other and started fighting.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that after Fu Li picked up this staff, he

could dominate and become the king in the Shining Gold Temple in a short
period of time!
Unfortunately, this man didn’t waste a single second and traded the ebony
staff without any reluctance even before it entered his backpack!
At first, the audience was confused. “Did his hand slip?”
The domestic TPT fans: “Would our Captain Fu make such a low-level
mistake?”
“Panicking, panicking, I’m panicking.”
Someone with a clearer perspective guessed, “He’s worthy of being a data

emperor. He really did enough homework!”
Fu Li traded his ebony staff in exchange for two pairs of high level shoes.
The movement speed bonus for shoes in 5v5 couldn’t be stacked up, but it
was different in the big brawl mode. Bonuses from identical pairs of shoes
couldn’t be stacked up, but 50% of the bonus from a second pair of a
different pair of shoes could be stacked. 25% of a third pair of shoes could
also be stacked… and so on, with decreasing returns.
There were seven types of shoes in the shop. One of them was called speed-
walking shoes. As its name suggested, wearing it increased movement
speed.
Fu Li bought a second pair of shoes, cooldown shoes which reduced skill

cooldown times.
His choices were very ingenious. Not only had he greatly increased his
movement speed, he’d also reduced the cooldown time of his skills as much
as possible. It had to be known that spirit mages were mages with multiple
movement skills. If the cooldown time was short, then it could constantly
shift and move around, which was another way of increasing movement
speed.
After this series of actions were completed, everyone was shocked––
‘Close Has Super Endurance’ was now a woman who moved like the wind
(the talent design was female). It was very possible that there was nobody
in the entire map who could catch up to her!
While D Zone’s overlord, God Kim, was still bumping into dead ends that
left his head covered in bumps, Fu Li was already getting close to the exit
to the maze.
The game officials became even more cruel and provided another ranking.
The rankings for players closest to the Central Zone––
In first place was Close Has Super Endurance.
He was a full 800 meters ahead of second place.

Fans from all over the world burst into laughter when they saw this ranking
flash up.
It didn’t mean much.
There wasn’t anything wrong with the ranking. After all, it was a
competition system that relied on running around the map, and paying
attention to the players’ position was a required part of the game.
But, this ID!
Close Has Super Endurance was translated into several languages, and the
great demon king once again became famous in the world in a very strange
way.
Captain Fu knew nothing about all of this. He was nothing but a ruthless
map running machine.
He had to pick up equipment, pick up skill points, run out of the maze, rush
to the Central Zone, and enter the final circle.
Ranking wasn’t important. The important thing was collecting, collecting,

and more collecting!
Due to Super Endurance’s brilliant feat, many members of the audience

began to pay attention to this player and soon learned that this was the
China competition zone’s TPT team’s team captain. They then began to
focus on another player from TPT––Eurostar.
Eurostar had been sent to E Zone’s Thousand Needle Forest.
The Thousand Needle Forest also had its own characteristics. From the
words ‘thousand needle forest’, it should have been designed to be a pine
forest?
After all, pine leaves were shaped like needles, so it wouldn’t be too
overboard to call them thousand needle trees.
Those who thought this way had underestimated Glory’s bastard game
planners.
Thousand, needle, forest.
They’d taken the literal meaning of these words. The ground was filled with
sharp ice needles. They covered the entire E Zone, and from afar, it looked
like a lush jungle.
But what grew in this jungle weren’t trees. They were all needles.
Ordinary players who were transferred to this place would really start
crying for their parents.
There were needles everywhere. If one didn’t pay attention to where they
were walking, they would lose health. There weren’t many medicine bags
that could be collected in the outer ring. If a player’s health dropped
continuously like this, they wouldn’t even have to fight before they came
close to death.
This place really tested the players’ positioning skills.
In the 5v5 canyon, good positioning could evade an opponent’s skills,

allowing them to seize opportunities and go against the flow of the battle.
In the Thousand Needle Forest, players who couldn’t position themselves

well when they walked would be eliminated.
In fact, Eurostar was still doing alright when faced with the Thousand
Needle Forest After all, he was an ADC who survived by relying on his
positioning, so he wouldn’t accidentally step onto a needle and stab himself
to death.
What was giving him more of a headache was his opponent.
As soon as he landed, his sharp eyes had noticed––Xiehe, Moonlit.
Oh god!
The terrible memories from winter training camp surged up into his mind,
and Eurostar almost committed suicide on the ice needles on the spot.
Why?
Why was he in the same zone as these two difficult thorns!
Why?
Why couldn’t he be in the same zone as the gentle and kind God Yan!
Ch163.2 - On a magic vine that
grew wantonly upwards into the
sky, there sat a holy priest.
In winter training camp, Wei Xiao had been in Group A, and Eurostar had
been in Group B.
Eurostar had been overjoyed and wanted to beat the gongs and drums to
celebrate when he learned that he was far away from One Lamp
Grandmaster.
Then, he’d seen the 1.7m tall God Xie whose killing aura was 2.8m tall.
Group B, TPT’s first game.
Eurostar had been chased and killed all over the map by Xie He.
Eurostar had cried very loudly in their team chat, “Isn’t he a mid-laner?
Isn’t he a squishy hero? Shouldn’t he be a c-position who loves being
protected?”
Captain Fu was cold and ruthless. “Obviously, he’s not.”
Throughout the entire game, Eurostar experienced 13 ways to die. After

meeting One Lamp Grandmaster, the ID Xiehe also left a deep and indelible
mark of fierceness and cruelty on him.
Then, Moonlit also experienced a wave of ‘13 deaths’.
Eurostar had gone looking for him: “I understand you. If you want to cry, I
can lend you my shoulder.”
Moonlit: “Ha-ha.”
He’d also been abused miserably, but Moonlit went up to challenge these
difficulties and began to frantically look for opportunities to fight against
Xie He. He even won against Xie He with his immortal warlock at the end
of the winter training camp.
Eurostar had known that Moonlit was fierce, but he hadn’t expected him to
be this fierce!
What was wrong with this era of mid-laners?!
Did they all consider themselves to be jungler kings?!
Later, Eurostar had also won against Xie He once. It had made him feel
relieved all over, the feeling so amazing that his scalp was numb and
tingling. It also made him realize what the ultimate experience was.
How had he won?
It was during the free matching period. Eurostar’s luck had broken through
the charts, and he’d been matched up with Yan Jiang as a teammate.
Yan Jiang had casually taken a holy priest, and Eurostar had casually taken
a gold hunter. On the other side, Xie He had taken the immortal warlock,
but as a result, he’d been shot at until his head was covered in bumps and
wounds.
This video replay was still circling on the internet, and it was the source of
the scandal between Yan Jiang and Eurostar.
With this history between them, Eurostar-star’s current mood was very easy
to understand.
God Yan––an immortal support who was like a spring breeze. Becoming his
treasured darling could make him happy enough to fly up to the heavens.
Xie He––a real daddy who was 2.8 m tall. He didn’t dare to meet his gaze,
and just one look meant death.
Moonlit––a small daddy who was almost 2.8m tall. He didn’t know when,
but he would be beaten into seclusion by his thousand layers of clouds one
day.
The heavens pitied and protected him. After Eurostar saw these two people
from afar, how would he dare to reveal himself?
He made use of his many years of experience in escaping and hid himself
very well in the Thousand Needle Forest.
If there was a ranking for the most timid player on Sky Island, Brother Star
would definitely be in first place!
When it came to the most exciting zone, it was definitely B Zone’s

Battlesong Plains.
In the other zones, the players were still fighting against the natural
environment. But in B Zone, the players had already started fighting in
groups.
Yuan Ze, Asleep, and another invited player from North America were
fighting hard.
They were the ones who’d started fighting the earliest, and their fight was
also the fiercest, and the most intense, but…
First Blood had still gone to Close.
He’d been sent to the Battlesong Plains, but still hadn’t gotten First Blood.
Old Dog Yuan felt like he’d lost his dignity!
It was as though the game organizers wanted to continue this ‘comedic’

effect until the very end. They provided another ranking list on the live
broadcast screen.
Sky Island’s richest player. 1st place––Close Has Great Skills.

It took everyone a moment to react when they saw this ID.
They quickly went to look at the distance rankings and discovered that
Close Has Great Skills and Close Has Super Endurance weren’t the same
person.
The translators quickly provided translations for the names.
There was another uproar in the live broadcast rooms across the world.
The China competition zone really knew how to play on a large scale!
Even the IDs they came up with were like this!
Great Skills was Money.
Captain Mo was in C Zone’s Falling Star Lake, in the same zone as Close.
His luck had broken through the charts, and he’d landed on a mound of
coral.
Why were there coral in a lake?
Don’t ask. If you ask, then it was a fantasy setting, and the game planners
had final say.
It was probably because Money spent too much money in normal life, so
he’d collected enough karma and could basically pick up money like crazy
as soon as he landed…
There were money fish living in the coral. Stabbing one to death would
drop 100 gold. There was also a gold bonus for combos.
Money was immersed in killing the fish.
Having money was very useful. Although it couldn’t be used to buy

equipment (equipment had to be collected or traded in with equivalent
equipment and couldn’t be bought or sold), it could be used to buy medicine
bags!
The shop offered various types of mana and health medicine. Money picked
up so many gold coins that it was like he was carrying a medicine jar on his
back.
Of course, this medicine couldn’t be used during battle, but it could be used
to prolong one’s life after a fight so that they were in the best state before
starting the next fight.
Money killed all the money fish and bought all the health and mana
medicine he could before rushing proudly towards the Central Zone.
With his money, with the medicine bags he had in hand, who was there to
be afraid of?!
He wasn’t afraid of anyone!
It was precisely such a confident Captain Mo who encountered a blood-

stained blood warrior, standing there with a bloody sword in hand.
Money: “!”
Close: “……”
Captain Mo, who’d been unafraid of the heavens and the earth just a
moment ago, turned around and ran.
Damn it…
How could Close be in C Zone?
Why was he so unlucky that he ended up in the same zone as this killing
god?!
Money’s initial talent was the gun thief, which was a talent spec that had a
lot of movement skills. Once the gun was loaded, the hero could move
along with the gun. If it was used properly, the player could constantly
refresh their skills and move forward.
The China competition zone locked their gazes on this scene and began to
watch the chase between the two.
“Captain Mo’s decision is pretty good. He really should start running when
he meets Close.”
“Close has already obtained three kills and is ranked first on the rankings.
He’s already put together one full piece of equipment, and he’s also
unlocked all the skills for the death knight.”
“Gun thieves won’t win against the death knight. Especially when it comes
to Close’s warrior talents, which specialize in killing all sorts of thieves.”
“But will Captain Mo be able to run away?”
“Close has a movement speed bonus. Captain Mo…”
“Oh, Captain Mo has nothing but money.”
Medicine bags could also be converted into gold coins. Money had no
equipment and no skill points. He really had nothing but money.
Then there was Close, who had one piece of finished equipment and eight
skills. He caught up with Mo Hui very easily.
The TPT fans bawled, “Captain Mo!!! Are you actually lucky or unlucky?!”
Was he unlucky? He’d started off at the coral mound and had killed money
fish until his hands were tired. He’d gotten first place on the gold rankings
and was the luckiest person on the whole map.
Was he lucky? These gold coins hadn’t even warmed up in his pocket, and
he hadn’t used a single medicine bag before he’d run into the great demon
king who was at full health.
The Gossip Emperor found the essence of the matter. “It’s time for Captain
Mo to experience whether or not Close Has Great Skills.”
This ID was perfect for the occasion.

A commentator sighed. “If Close kills Mo Hui, he’ll obtain 3000 gold
coins.”
When that happened, who would be able to stop this super great demon
king who had money, equipment, and strength?!
The camera switched back to A Zone’s Moonlight Wetland.
Wei Xiao had also encountered a situation.
After killing Soo Chanhee, he’d caught a lucky player.
Professional players fighting against ordinary players was like holding a

kitchen knife to cut up cucumbers. They were crunchy and squishy.
After killing the lucky player, Wei Xiao continued his march towards the
Central Zone. He then saw two people standing in a deep-water swamp.
They stood facing each other and weren’t fighting.
Players could type to communicate with each other in the big brawl mode.
However, the typing was limited by area and could only be seen by players
within a small radius.
Wei Xiao couldn’t see what they were saying, but he could guess that they
were communicating with each other.
In the big brawl mode, all players were enemies, and there were no
teammates.
These were the settings for the game. But the ones playing the game were
people, and people had their own ideas.
It wasn’t impossible for players to form an alliance with each other in the
early stage, then turn against each other in the later stages.
Obviously, these two people had formed an alliance, planning to rush out of
the A Zone and enter the Central Zone together.
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved slightly. He jumped out.
“Hello!” He was a courteous and well-mannered Wei Little Xiao.
The two men were startled and instantly went on alert.
Wei Xiao typed fast, and he attacked even faster. He’d already obtained six
skill points, and not only did he have the shadow thief’s light arc, he’d also
activated his immortal warlock.
At this time, he was using the immortal warlock talent, and the skill he used
was also the immortal warlock’s skill, connecting clouds. A stream of white
fog streamed out. If it touched an opponent, it would fly back and start up
an attack.
Of the two ‘allied’ people, one was a power thief, and the other was a
berserker warrior. Both of them were very skilled in individual combat.
As soon as they looked over, they saw that it was a little immortal warlock
and were relieved for a moment.
“This time, you take the equipment. I want the skill points.”
“Okay!”
Discussing how to split the spoils before the fight? They were really
overconfident.
Also in A Zone.
On a magic vine that grew wantonly upwards into the sky, there sat a holy
priest.
He had a slender figure, and his attitude was cold and indifferent. The white
priest uniform that represented light and holiness, hung down and covered
his straight legs. Only a pale wrist could be seen holding the dark, evil vine.
The vines were a dark and gloomy demonic creature.

The priest was a spokesman for the pure and flawless god.
At this moment, the two existences were in perfect harmony, creating an

atmosphere of breathtaking beauty for the scene.
The holy priest’s ID was shockingly––Y1.Yan.
Yan Jiang’s hands fell lightly on the keyboard and mouse. He didn’t make
any actions.
He looked down at the three men fighting in the swamp, his expression
calm.
Except for his old fans, there was probably no one else who knew what he
was thinking––
What kind of stupid competition system was this, an early death meant an
early excuse from death.
xiin: dun dun dun~

Ch164.1 - Forget it... He’d just play
with them a little more.
Yan Jiang’s position was at just the right place to allow him to see the battle
below at a glance.
Quite a few players had followed his perspective and found that it was more
comprehensive than watching Wei Xiao’s perspective or the perspective of
the two players who’d formed an alliance.
Even the director had discovered this point. He switched the camera to Yan
Jiang’s perspective directly, and the commentators were drawn over, staring
at this 1v2 to provide commentary.
This battle was very interesting. Needless to say, Wei Xiao had gained a
small amount of fame due to his crazy talent choice, fierce kill count, and
his deadly game ID.
The other two IDs were also worth paying attention to. They weren’t team
IDs, but like Wei Xiao and Money, they were professional players
‘disguised’ as lucky players.
The power thief was Herman, a top-laner from a top team in North
America, and the berserker warrior was called Jacob. He was another player
from North America.
It was because they were from the same competition zone that they’d
recognized each other as soon as they met.
Both of them had warrior talents, and the equipment they’d picked up was
basically the same. Their skills were also at around the same level, and
there also wasn’t much difference in their personal levels.
If they really started fighting, both sides would suffer heavy losses, and the
one who remained standing would likely become an easy target for others
due to his low remaining health.
So the two of them had communicated with each other…
And formed an alliance!
Who could’ve known that just after they’d discussed how to cooperate, a
little brat would send himself up to their door?
And it was a little immortal warlock who’d only unlocked his first and
second skill!
How many skills had been unlocked for a talent could be seen publicly
through a small icon positioned beside the player’s name.
For example, at this time, the power thief and berserker warrior’s IDs both
had a 3 behind them, while Wei Xiao’s ID was followed by a 2.
Based on this, the Wei Xiao who was rushing over was obviously just
offering his head up on a platter.
Two skill points couldn’t be considered a lot, but nobody would disdain the
amount for being too small.
The power thief and berserker warrior’s hearts leapt with joy. They were
determined to take down this little immortal warlock––it was probably an
ordinary player. Looking at this ID, there was a good chance that they were
a Close fan.
The power thief proudly typed out a string of English, “Little brother, take
care.”
Wei Xiao understood and replied, “Okay.”
The audience who knew the truth sent out scrolling comments like crazy
when they saw these two sentences, “Fellow brothers, take care.”
Just these two?
Both of them only had three skill points each on their entire body. As for
equipment, they each had a pair of straw sandals. After running into Wei
Xiao, whose shadow thief had unlocked all its skills and who had casually
started unlocking immortal warlock skills, weren’t they just sending
themselves over to die?
The power thief and berserker warrior regarded Wei Xiao as a fat lamb
waiting to be slaughtered.
How could Wei Xiao not regard them as delicious and fragrant meat buns?
A fierce battle was imminent!
The power thief first used a ground stab. It was clear that he was afraid that
Wei Xiao would retreat after knowing he was in a difficult situation and run
away.
The berserker warrior followed up quickly, holding up both axes in his

hands and preparing to use his core skill at any time.
With this set up, if Wei Xiao really was a weak immortal warlock, then he
would’ve been sent out of the game already.
As everyone knew, the immortal warlock was a weak little brother before it
reached level six. He couldn’t brush out the thousand layers of clouds,
couldn’t stack up cloud marks, and the damage he could deal was extremely
low.
The immortal warlock was also very beautiful. Although the talent design
was male, his ethereal clothing drifted around him, and his body was thin
and slender. His long, black hair hung loosely down to his waist, and he
moved like he was dancing among clouds when using the connecting clouds
skill.
This scene had a very large visual impact.
Two burly men and one beauty.

The audience couldn’t bear to look at it directly!
However, this beauty didn’t follow the script. A chat box popped up over
his head, “Big brothers, you’re both so fierce~”
This ~ was enough to make people go bald.
The power thief and berserker warrior felt goosebumps break out over their
skin. A thought popped up in their minds: “Is this a girl?”
Close’s fangirl?
Forget it, it was a global live broadcast. There was no such thing as showing
mercy to an opponent.
Naturally, they couldn’t show mercy even if they wanted to. They’d already
launched their skills and couldn’t take them back no matter what.
Seeing that the immortal warlock was about to be dragged over by the
ground stab, the berserker warrior’s ‘bold and resolute’ was also about to
chop down on the warlock’s head…
There was a whoosh sound as connecting clouds hit the power thief. The
white fog turned into a long dragon, interrupting the power thief’s
roundhouse kick.
The power thief was stunned briefly. He thought to himself: This immortal
warlock has really fast hand speed!
However, hand speed was useless no matter how fast it was. It was difficult
for a skillful woman to make a meal without rice, let alone an ordinary
player. In any case, it would be useless even if they had the ability to brush
out thousand layers of clouds.
With only two skills, the immortal warlock didn’t have the ability to brush
out a single layer of clouds!
The power thief didn’t panic. He gathered his strength and attempted
another kick at the immortal warlock.
The berserker warrior’s forward swing was over, and his skill flew out.
The immortal warlock was caught in the middle between them. There was
no way to hide, and he could only take the hit.
With his squishy body, one roundhouse kick, and one bold and resolute
would likely take him directly into a heavily injured state.
Was the immortal warlock done for?
Only the power thief and the berserker warrior thought so. The audience all
over the world who were staring at the live broadcast were thinking, “It’s
coming, it’s coming.”
In the next moment, the immortal warlock swam away like a fish in water,
sliding out from the left side between the two people.
The power thief and berserker warrior’s eyes quaked with shock.
What was going on?
The immortal warlock’s first skill was connecting clouds, and the second
skill was landing on clouds. Neither of them were movement skills!
He’d clearly been a weak newbie caught in a corner. How had he slipped
out?
While the power thief and berserker warrior were still shocked, they
suddenly found that there was a more fatal problem in front of them.
Their skills…
The roundhouse kick, and bold and resolute!
The power thief watched as the berserker warrior’s axe swept over, but he
had no way to dodge!
The berserker warrior’s situation wasn’t much better. He watched the power
thief’s kick approach, but there was already no time to move away.
Bang!
Clang!
Special effects from the skills exploded. The power thief lost a third of his
health from the slash, and the berserker warrior was also beaten black and
blue by the power thief’s kick.
This wave of operations actually happened very quickly. The entire process
only took a few seconds, but the audience was already applauding like
crazy.
The commentator provided a wonderful review, “Quiet had been ready for a
long time. He stood between the power thief and the berserker warrior,
lured them to release their skills at the same time, then used the ability to
instantly switch talents to use the shadow thief’s movement skill and slide
out!”
“All skills used in the big brawl are indiscriminate attacks, so the power
thief’s skill smashed into the berserker warrior’s face, and the berserker
warrior also cut down the power thief!”
Did you want to form an alliance?
Have you asked the game system daddy for permission?
Wei Xiao, who’d dodged away, was very evil. He took advantage of a spot
where the power thief and berserker warrior had no vision to instantly
switch back to the immortal warlock.
How fast was this hand speed? The game needed to be replayed slowly in
order to understand it.
Of course….
Some people’s dynamic vision was different from ordinary people. For
example, that of Yan Jiang who was seated on the magic vine, coldly
watching the scene unfold beneath him.
He had likely seen even more details than the commentators.
For example, the immortal warlock had used connecting clouds to interrupt
the power thief’s first roundhouse kick in order to make time for the
berserker warrior’s skill’s forward swing.
Another example was how the immortal warlock had used the ground stab
to shorten the distance between him and the power thief, forcing the
berserker warrior to move forward so that his skill would be within the
attack range.
The audience only saw the excitement from his operations, only knew that
Wei Xiao had toyed with the allied duo, and they only thought that he’d
operated very freely with very casual movements.
Experts could see these micro operations at a glance.
As long as even a single detail hadn’t been controlled well, it wouldn’t be

the power thief and berserker warrior attacking each other, but the immortal
warlock returning back to heaven.
I Like Close The Most?
Yan Jiang stared expressionlessly at this ID.
Wei Xiao toyed with these two like monkeys, but the two of them didn’t
want to be monkeys.
After being teased like this, the power thief and berserker warrior grew
angry.
Who present here wasn’t a master at the game?
If you played with Laozi, then Laozi would take turns killing you!
The power thief and berserker warrior grew serious. They didn’t have to
type for their thoughts to be of the same mind––
Kill this immortal warlock!

Kill him no matter what!
Another line of words popped up above Wei Xiao’s head: “Big brothers,
don’t get angry. I’m sooo scared.”
His English was pretty good and was right on point.
The power thief and berserker warrior: “……………”
Calling them big brother was useless. They had to kill him today, kill him
until he called out daddy!
Although the two of them only had basic equipment and limited skill points,
they’d picked up a bag of money from the swamp. At this time, they
immediately purchased medicine bags and took advantage of the break in
the battle to recover their health.
The health that had originally dropped due to their mutual attacks recovered
significantly.
Wei Xiao tsked.
It was nothing, just heartache. If he’d finished the fight earlier, those
medicine bags would also be his.
Forget it…
He’d just play with them a little more.
Wei Xiao tried to repeat the same trick, but the power thief sneered, “You
want to do it again? Dream on!”
The berserker warrior had controlled his distance well this time. The end of
his skill would reach the immortal warlock, but not the power thief.
The power thief also controlled the angle of his roundhouse kick, ensuring
that he wouldn’t injure his teammate by mistake again.
They were even on alert against Wei Xiao’s ‘instant movement’.

Due to the immortal warlock’s layers of white fog, they hadn’t seen
anything when Wei Xiao switched talents. They didn’t know that he also
had the shadow thief talent, and only thought that he’d picked up an open
skill by chance.
There was a flash skill amongst the list of open skills that had been made
public.
When they thought of this, the power thief and berserker warrior became
After killing the immortal warlock, not only would they pick up skill points
and equipment, they’d also win a rare open skill.
How wonderful!
As long as they could kill this little demon.

Ch164.2 - Was the new FTW and
old FTW about to tear into each
other in the Moonlight Wetland?
It was difficult to say if Wei Xiao was a demon or not, but the fact that they
were unable to chop him to death was definitely true.
Seeing that the two people’s skills were about to land again, Wei Xiao first
used connecting clouds to push away the power thief’s roundhouse kick,
then turned his body to the side to avoid the bold and resolute skill. At the
same time, he used landing on clouds on the power thief, cutting down a
quarter of his health.
The power thief didn’t take this damage seriously at all. He first used his
ground stab, which had come off cooldown, and forced Wei Xiao to shift
positions. Then, the berserker warrior cooperated with tacit understanding
and raised up his double axes over his head, causing the ground to shake
with his force.
These two skills were powerful control skills. As long as they hit Wei Xiao,
he would immediately enter a dizzy state.
When that happened, he wouldn’t even be able to think about avoiding the
next attacks.
The power thief’s third skill ‘double-edged sword’, and the berserker
warrior’s ‘crazy dive’ were both damage dealing skills.
If they were really allowed to use them, then he would basically be broken
into two halves.
To Wei Xiao’s left was the ground stab, and to the right was the double axe
earthquake. The power thief was in front of him, and the berserker warrior
was behind him. There was no escape from the attacks that came from all
sides.
If he stood still and didn’t move, he would be hit by the power thief’s
double-edged sword.
This power thief skill was very powerful. According to the game logic, the
power thief didn’t use weapons. The damage he dealt all relied on his fists
and physical ability. He was a man with an excellent physique.
However, his third skill was called the double-edged sword. The ‘sword’
named in this skill wasn’t a real sword, but rather, it represented the
meaning of the skill.
Double-edged sword––
If it hit the enemy, it would deal a high amount of damage. But if it didn’t
hit the target, the player themselves would suffer 50% of the damage.
In other words, if the power thief’s attack hit Wei Xiao, then Wei Xiao
would be beaten into low health. However, if Wei Xiao avoided it, then
50% of the attack would rebound and harm the power thief instead.
This was a high-risk, high-reward skill. It was also the power thief’s core
skill!
A power thief who could use double-edged sword well could transform into
a demon with immortal level DPS.
The immortal warlock couldn’t avoid the hit. He couldn’t escape no matter
what.
Connecting clouds and landing on clouds were both on cooldown, and he

no longer had any open skills. He could only stand in the middle and…
Switch talents!
The immortal clothing turned into fog, and his ink black hair was dyed red.
A blood colored cloak came into being from thin air and landed on the thief,
leaving only his cold, pale chin peeking out from beneath his hood and the
crimson blade that hung at his waist.
At this moment, the power thief and berserker warrior who’d watched the
scene clearly both sucked in breaths of air.
This kid…
The immortal warlock had only been a cover. There was now a shadow
thief with a blue-grade equipment; give it a try?
This scene not only shocked the two people in the Moonlight Wetland, it
also shocked the global audience who were watching the fight.
“Holy shit, that’s so handsome!”
“The game planners put in a lot of effort. This talent switch is too
explosive!”
“Is the immortal warlock and shadow thief so well matched? Fellow sisters,
how about trying a self-gong and self-shou combo?!”
What was even more amazing was Wei Xiao’s hand speed. He switched
talents in a flash, then used shadow attack in the same instant.
He hid himself, used his movement skill to shift into his opponent’s face,
launching a sneak attack from behind. This series of simple and direct
moves was so perfect that it was like an exquisite work of art displayed
under brilliant lights
He left marks, stacked up damage, and not only did he avoid the power
thief’s double-edged sword, he even flew towards the berserker warrior’s
back.
Critical hit, rend, explosive damage!
Some people had seen the situation clearly.

“Light arcs… holy shit… he’s about to brush…”
“Is it nine light arcs? No way, will two people brush out nine light arcs
during the big brawl?”
“Hurry up, hurry up, Laozi’s gonna…”
The marks were filled up, and the damage had been sufficiently stacked up.
The light arcs flew out of the blood blade, and the terrible light arcs that
spanned 180 degrees swept out like a giant blade.
The colors changed constantly, crimson, dark red, cherry red, orange
yellow, bright yellow, white, cold white, blue…
“F*ck!”
“Eight arcs!”
“Damn it, it’s just missing the last bit…”
The arc color corresponded to flame temperatures, going from the starting
red to an extreme dark blue, like an ultra-high temperature flame that could
burn everything.
The layers of progressive color changes finally stopped at eight light arcs.
It was still gorgeous, still eye-catching. It already held huge lethal power,
but at the end of the day, it was still one step worse than nine lights.
The special effects dispersed.
The power thief who’d already lost a portion of his health from the backlash
of the double-edged sword ran out of HP, falling into the swamp with an
empty health bar.
The berserker warrior had a higher defense and more health. Due to his
innate high defense and the fact that he was positioned further away from
the core of the light arcs, he’d taken less damage and still had a third of his
health left.
Seeing that his ‘ally’ had fallen to the ground, the berserker warrior turned
around to run without a second thought.
Damn it…
How was this anything like a little demon? It was clearly an old demon
master!
Playing with people’s hearts, trampling on their dignity, and toying with
them until they were spinning around in circles.
Yet they had no way to resist.
It was 1v2, but they’d been beaten up until they were crawling on the floor
in a mess. It would be really humiliating if it was mentioned to anyone.
Oh, there was no need to mention it. This was on a goddamned global live
broadcast!
The berserker warrior muttered in his heart: Damn it, damn it, please don’t
let anyone have been watching them.
There shouldn’t have been anyone watching, right?
The big brawl had an all-star line-up participating in the game. Nobody
would watch ‘civilian’ players like them.
He was in the midst of trying to comfort himself when the shadow thief’s
movement skill, sudden strike, brought him close. A flying blade floated by,
taking away the berserker warrior’s life.
Regional announcement:
I Like Close The Most killed Herman.
I Like Close The Most killed Jacob.
I Like Close The Most double kill!

Wei Xiao quickly collected the dropped equipment and skill points on the
ground. He unlocked all the immortal warlock’s skills, then lifted his head,
“Was it a good show?”
The angle of his gaze was accurate, locking directly onto the white figure
sitting on the magic vine in the distance.
Yan Jiang: “……”
The audience in the live broadcast room exploded. “Quiet knew that there
was someone on the magic vines!”
“How did he discover God Yan?”
“This little brat is really amazing!”
“If it wasn’t for the fact that his ID is too deadly, I would become one of his
fans.”
Because countless members of the audience were watching from Yan

Jiang’s perspective, they could see exactly what Yan Jiang could see.
In the vast swamp that roiled with strange black bubbles stood an immortal
warlock dressed in floating, immortal clothing. His ink colored hair was
loose, and a few strands would occasionally sweep against his cheek,
highlighting the creamy paleness of his skin. His cold eyebrows were raised
up, his dark eyes seeming to stare straight into a person’s heart.
It was clearly just a game character, but it seemed to hold a soul!
Being looked at like this was enough to make their heart rate accelerate!
The audience stared fixedly at the scene and didn’t have the slightest
intention of switching to watch the situation in the other zones.
Although they weren’t fighting anymore, watching a newcomer act so

arrogantly and provocatively towards the world’s number one support
player was really too exciting!
And, this newcomer was FTW’s new jungler king.
This number one support player was also the former Team of Gods captain.
What made it even more exciting was that Yan Jiang didn’t know who the
person with the ID I Like Close The Most was!
Interesting, interesting. This scene was very interesting from every angle.
What was going to happen?
Would Yan Jiang come down?
Would the two of them solo?
Was the new FTW and old FTW about to tear into each other in the
Moonlight Wetland?
Don’t ask, if you ask, then they’re really high!
The audience was in high spirits, but it was quiet in the game.
The dark swamp that stretched as far as the eye could see, the magic vines
that shot straight up into the sky, and the two characters––one was a holy
priest that represented holiness and light, and the other was an immortal
warlock wearing wide robes with long sleeves––they looked at each other
from afar, across the dark and gloomy Moonlit Wetland.
The magic vines shook.
The stiff priest garb was neat and tidy even when blown up by the wind.
Yan Jiang came down, and his ID was finally exposed to Wei Xiao’s gaze.
Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment.
Yan Jiang’s fingers tapped lightly as he knocked out a word, “Yes.” This
was in response to Wei Xiao’s earlier question.
Half a second later, he reacted in shock, “God Yan?”
Y1.Yan.
Who else could it be besides Yan Jiang?
Not to mention, this holy priest that was crowned with the glory of the
champion.
This was a privilege from the 5v5 team competition. When using the talent
that won the final game, a special championship effect would appear beside
the player’s game ID.
A tiny little crown that represented the glory of victory!
This was a glory that the current FTW could only hope for, but not expect.
The championship special effects had appeared two years ago, so Lu Feng
didn’t have this little crown despite having won a 5v5 championship.
Wei Xiao’s eyes heated, and his heart was also boiling. He used connecting
clouds and flew straight at Yan Jiang.
Damn it.
Let’s have a fight first before talking about anything else!
After the immortal warlock unlocked its ultimate move, it could use
connecting clouds, landing on clouds, cloud marks and positioning to brush
out thousand layers of clouds.
He’d just shown off the light arcs, and was now about to use thousand
layers of clouds. It made everyone in the audience inhale in surprise.
“Quiet really knows how to play the immortal warlock!”

Many people recalled his statement on Weibo––damn it, could it be that
those four demonic IDs actually belonged to him?!
The thousand layers of clouds was about to begin, but Wei Xiao abruptly
stopped moving.
The audience sucked in another breath, “???”
“Did he fail?”
“He screwed up?”
“Just now, I really thought he could use the immortal warlock. So it turned
out that he was just pretending.”
Soon, a chat box appeared over Wei Xiao’s head, “Why aren’t you
switching talents?”
Yan Jiang didn’t move. “There’s no point in switching.”
Wei Xiao frowned. “You don’t have any skill points?”
Yan Jiang indeed didn’t have any skill points, but that wasn’t the key point.
He knew what the other party was thinking. “I don’t have the medicine
warlock talent.”
It wasn’t that Yan Jiang couldn’t solo. If he’d chosen the medicine warlock,
there wouldn’t be a single person on the Sky Island of Light who could kill
him.
Not even Close.
But he hadn’t chosen the medicine warlock at all.
For his four starting talents, he’d chosen all the healing talents that had no
DPS and could only heal.
Wei Xiao stood still and didn’t move. “Why didn’t you choose the medicine
warlock?”
Yan Jiang: “I didn’t want to.”
Wei Xiao stared at him for a while, then suddenly realized. “You want to
die.”
Just now, Wei Xiao’s skills had already landed on Yan Jiang and scraped off
half his health.
At this moment, knowing that God Yan was determined to die, Wei Xiao
kindly gave him two medicine bags, “Don’t die, you have to live well.” My
captain is still waiting for you in the finals circle!
The author has something to say: God Yan: I want to die. Wei Xiao: No,
you don’t want to.
Ch165.1 - Wei Xiao: "Don’t tempt
me."
Y1 had been quite distressed about this global invitational game.
They’d been the champions last year and deserved their name as the
number one big team in Europe. Reasonably speaking, what was there to be
distressed over?
However, the person from Y1 who was in charge of this aspect of the team,
almost went bald when he received the invitation. He went to look for their
team manager and asked, “Can Yan participate?”
Y1’s manager was more distressed than he was. “I’ll ask…”
The person in charge sighed. “The invitation has already been sent over. It
won’t look good if he doesn’t participate.”
Y1’s manager understood the big master in their team very well. “He should
be participating, it’s just…”
The person in charge was very accommodating for the sake of their
common interests, “Participating is good enough! It’s fine even if he slacks
off and does nothing!”
They really couldn’t be blamed for being so careful.
Yan Jiang was a person who was very clear on his requirements. When
signing his contract, he’d put his demands plainly on the paper in black and
white––he wouldn’t play in the singles competition.
Nobody knew why he hated the singles competition so much, but everyone
knew that he disliked it.
He had disliked it from as early as his FTW days, and he still disliked it
after coming to Europe.
Back then, when he’d first arrived in Europe, he hadn’t been on the Y1
team. Instead, he’d gone to a powerful team called WP.
Yan Jiang had already been famous at the time. His signing bonus had been
terrifyingly high, and after WP dug out such a strong ancestor, they
naturally wanted to make use of him and earn some money.
Unfortunately, when Yan Jiang signed the contract, he said, “I’m not
playing in the singles competition or the doubles competition, but we’ll win
the championship in 5v5.”
WP agreed, but they were ultimately unable to resist the temptation. They
insisted on forcing Yan Jiang to attend various performances and show his
face.
Yan Jiang didn’t say much. He went when he was told to, but basically let
himself be killed when he went.
He made it so that a very normal performance game became filled with

sounds of cursing.
Fans didn’t know the truth of the matter. They just thought that Yan Jiang
was purposely taking the competition lightly and flamed him with curses.
Yan Jiang didn’t explain himself. He didn’t say anything else and directly
listed himself during the next transfer period.
WP was confused. They took out the contract and went looking for him.
Yan Jiang pointed to the words that were clearly written in black and white
on the contract. The breach of contract was on WP’s side.
Later on, Yan Jiang went to Y1. The scolding grew even worse.
He was just a support player. What was he acting so crazy for?

In particular, he was a player from abroad. There was racial discrimination,
foreigner discrimination… under this heavy pressure, he was literally
standing precariously on the tip of the knife.
If his mentality was even a tiny bit weaker, then Yan Jiang would’ve
become useless due to that period of time.
However, he wasn’t the average person. He carried all this pressure and led
Y1 to win the European Championship.
In the face of this abuse and slander that covered the skies, only absolute
strength could make people shut up.
That season, Yan Jiang became a LEGEND, in capital letters.
A support player could also become the core of a team.
A support player could also turn the tide.
A support player could also become the most dazzling presence in the team.
After three years, the Y1 team had formed its own unique style, and Yan
Jiang had become the most magical player in Glory.
There was one thing that all the players around the world knew privately––
the players in Y1 could be rotated like flowing water, but God Yan was
unshakable.
Why would they say that?
It was because in Y1, any position could be rotated out, and whoever
wanted to go up to play could play, but the support player had to be Yan
Jiang.
With Yan Jiang there, he could lead a group of newcomer cubs and still win
the European Championship.
The godly support player from the Team of Gods was precisely such an
illogical existence.
So, Y1 really treated Yan Jiang like their ancestor.
Regardless of how the current situation came to be, in short, if Yan Jiang
washed his hands of the matter and refused to work, then the Y1 who’d just
won the world championship last year might possibly fall to the point of
becoming a team that had to fight to just remain qualified in the league.
They couldn’t afford to provoke him. They really couldn’t afford it.
The manager had already been told countless times before taking up his
post: Coax him; only when he was coaxed well, would they be able to live
well.
Fortunately, Yan Jiang wasn’t an unreasonable person. After clarifying the

befores and afters of the situation, he said, “I can participate.”
The manager let out a big sigh of relief. “Play however you like. Anyway,
it’s just an entertainment game.”
Yan Jiang was in the midst of staring at the screen and watching a game
from some undetermined competition zone, from an undetermined time,
under undetermined circumstances. He answered quietly, “Okay.”
He joined the game, but he’d chosen four pure healer talents for his four
initial talents and used his actions to tell the game planners: Stupid
competition system, idiot brawl system.
In this type of game mode, what could a pure healer do?
Although Yan Jiang was famous as a violent support player, any player who
really chose to play support wasn’t the type of character that enjoyed
fighting alone.
It was like that for the singles competition, and it was still the same when it
came to the current big brawl mode.
The game planners had never considered such players when they designed
this game mode.
Yan Jiang was taking part in the opening game, but he was just walking
through the map.
He didn’t care about getting first place or not getting first place. What he
wanted was to become the first to die after the game began.
However…
He encountered an unexpected accident.
The immortal warlock in front of him was still babbling, “Although all men
must die, their deaths can still be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount
Tai. God Yan, how can you die in such a light, flighty way? You must try
hard to die as heavy as Mount Tai in the finals circle…”
There was no voice chat in the big brawl. Players could only type out
words.
Yan Jiang had experienced this brat’s hand speed early on, but now he
confirmed it for a second time.
These densely packed chat boxes showed that not only was his hand speed
fast, his mouth was also long-winded.
Yan Jiang stared at his ID. “You like Close?”
Wei Xiao didn’t even think about it, “Of course.”
He felt a little guilty after saying so, but his guilt only lasted for a fraction
of a second, and he soon started to boast, “Close, four championship
crowns, Glory’s strongest player, the China competition zone’s demon king
big daddy, who doesn’t like him?”
Wei Xiao could praise his captain so high up into the sky that nobody else
could reach him. If it wasn’t for the fact that time was limited, he could
write a 10,000 word essay.
Yan Jiang interrupted his rainbow farts and asked, “You really won’t kill
me?”
Wei Xiao: “I already gave you medicine bags… I keep my word.”
Yan Jiang typed calmly, “I picked up six skill points, one half-finished max
level equipment…”
This was intended to tempt Wei Xiao. The translation to his words was: I’m
such a large, fat sheep. Are you not going to slaughter me?
Wei Xiao managed to resist. “You’re really lucky.” He’d killed and looted
just to cobble together 12 skill points.
Yan Jiang continued, “Oh, I also found a special skill on the magic vines.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Yan Jiang aimed straight at the tip of his heart, “The special skill is called
fury. Using it increases attack power by 50% for three seconds.”
Wei Xiao: “!!”
Was that possible??
He’d bounced and jumped through so many vines. How come he’d never
seen a single special skill?
A 50% attack increase for three seconds?
In that case, wouldn’t that mean that if he brushed out eight light arcs, the
damage dealt would be comparable to nine light arcs?
Seriously, Wei Xiao was tempted.
His fingers circled around his skills, and killing intent filled the swamp in
an instant.
Yan Jiang could feel it. A player’s posture when they were making small
talk and when they were building up power and getting ready to attack was
different.
He knew that Wei Xiao now had intention to kill.
Great, he could get out of the game early.
Just as he thought so, the immortal warlock who’d just entered a pre-attack
state cancelled his skills.
Wei Xiao typed, “Don’t tempt me.”
Yan Jiang: “?”
Wei Xiao: “Do you see my ID? Take out ‘the most’ and change it to
‘only’.”
I Like Close The Most––after changing it, it became I Only Like Close.
Yan Jiang: “………………”
The audience watching them all burst out laughing.
Damn it, Little Lunatic Wei was too good at messing with people’s
mentality!
Brother Cai barely managed to keep himself from slamming his face into
his keyboard in the Gossip Emperor’s live broadcast room: Wei Little Xiao,
can you speak using human language?
As someone who knew the truth, he was almost scared into peeing. But he
calmed down again once he looked at the scrolling comments.
“6666, FTW’s flirting king is spreading his branches and leaves again.”
“Brother Xiao is a certified flirt, he keeps lovers in all directions.”

“He goes and toys with God Yan while keeping the I Like Close The Most
ID hanging over his head. Quiet, make sure you don’t get––”
“Calling the great demon king, your head is a little green.”
“What’s the most painful thing in life? Having the CP that I ship stand on
the side of the evil cults!”
Bai Cai was relieved.
Good…
Wei Xiao could go and act in a fable. That’s right, it was !
Yan Jiang ignored Wei Xiao and turned to leave.
Wei Xiao was very agile. He used landing on clouds and arrived in front of
him. “Captain Yan.”
“Mm.”
“You’re not going to go tempt someone else, right?”
“……”
“I mean, find someone else to kill you.”
Yan Jiang breathed lightly and maintained his self-restraint.
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved, but the words he typed out could only be called
arrogant, “Let’s make a bet.”
Yan Jiang’s footsteps paused.
Wei Xiao: “I can guarantee that no one can seriously hurt you while we’re
in the Moonlight Wetland.”
Yan Jiang stopped and turned to look at him.

Wei Xiao was clearly using an immortal warlock who was famous for its
aloof coldness, but he somehow managed to play out the temperament of a
careless young man. “If you fall below half health, I’ll kill you myself. If
you remain above half health, then come to the finals circle with me.”
Yan Jiang’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Why.”
Wei Xiao: “The opponents are too crappy. I’m finding some fun for
myself.”
The audience in the studio: “……………………..”
Fortunately the players in Moonlight Wetland couldn’t see this chat

conversation that had been limited to a very small range.
As long as anyone saw even a word of it, they would rush up and chop Wei
Xiao to death.
Ch165.2 - This was the first time
that anyone had spoken these
words to Yan Jiang.
Wei Xiao’s bet was really fierce and really crazy.
There were three stages in the Sky Island of Light. The first stage was the
outer five zones, and after the five outer zones was the second stage, also
known as the Central Zone.
The Central Zone was smaller in size, and players would encounter other
players who’d killed their way out of the zones nearby. It marked the start
of an even more exciting confrontation.
The ring of light was shrinking, resources were tight, and everyone who
remained living were strong players. The fighting was extremely fierce.
The Central Zone was then compressed to a core area, which was the final
circle. It was basically a round arena, and there was nothing to do but to
fight directly when they met. There was nowhere to hide.
Wei Xiao’s guarantee that Yan Jiang wouldn’t fall under half health in the
Moonlight Wetland was a very crazy promise.
Besides, there were two other invited professional players in the Moonlight
Wetland, three top anchors who might still be alive, and there might also be
professional players mixed in with the remaining lucky players.
One needed enough strength just to get out of the Moonlight Wetland. As
for bringing along a dead weight?
How was that finding fun? It was clearly going from difficult mode to hell
mode.
However…
It was very interesting.
Yan Jiang: “If my health remains above 70%, I’ll send you six pieces of
completed equipment in the Central Zone.”
Wei Xiao was amused, “Okay.”
At this stage in the game, there were allied groups in all the zones.
However, forming alliances wasn’t necessarily a good thing. Firstly, it was

just a verbal agreement, and the players could stab their teammates in the
back at any time. Secondly, skills were blind. If they weren’t controlled
well in a 2v1 environment, it would become a real brawl. Killing teammates
by accident would be a normal occurrence.
The alliance between Wei Xiao and Yan Jiang could be regarded as the
most magical combination in the entire game.
God Yan, a man who could only heal himself.
Wei Xiao, who not only had to finish fights quickly, but also had to be
careful that his attacks didn’t stab Yan Jiang to death.
No matter how one looked at them, Wei Xiao’s part in the alliance was
thankless, and it was a completely one-sided effort.
It was Yan Jiang being protected, and Wei Xiao putting in the effort.
There were those who didn’t know the truth and were curious, “Is this God
Yan’s fanboy?”
A God Yan fanboy who had ‘I Like Close The Most’ hanging over his
head? How fickle was his heart?!
Was there anyone in the whole world who didn’t know that Close and Yan
Jiang were kings who lived out their lives separately from each other?
The audience in the China competition zone understood very clearly. “Quiet
has deep foresight.”
Packing Yan Jiang up and sending him to Close?
Yeah.
Was that it?
Then they’d be really looking down on the One Lamp Grandmaster.
The Moonlight Wetland attracted more and more attention. Originally, the
game organizers had worried that Yan Jiang’s idleness would mean that
nobody would watch this zone, but unexpectedly, as soon as they looked at
the traffic data behind the scenes…
The most popular zone was Falling Star Lake, followed by the Moonlight
Wetland.
There was no need to mention Falling Star Lake. Close had opened up
slaughter mode and it was like watching a feel good, badass script. Anyone
who watched it would feel excited!
What did it mean for a single overlord to rise up and snowball his farm?
A mere 20 people in Falling Star Lake weren’t enough for him to abuse.
Money had already taken off his headphones and become a member of the
audience.
The organizers had decided to act inhuman all the way until the end. They’d
even opened up a ‘field of death’, and all the players who’d died in Sky
Island were placed there. An online host had been arranged for them there
so that they could interview them on the spot.
The host had been waiting for Money since early on. As soon as they saw
the corpse lying on its back, they leaned over. “May I ask, how does it feel
to die under your male god’s blade?”
Money: “………………”
To hell with your male god!
Oh, how could this ID of his belong to a mere Close fanboy? It was the type
of little fanboy who’d gone down the wrong path.
Captain Mo wanted to close himself up.
What had he been aiming for?! What exactly had he been going for?!
20,000 dollars worth of gifts in exchange for this shameless damned

account. After making a shameful debut in the domestic competition zone,
he’d then gone to the big brawl and turned into a box as soon as he landed.
He, Money, didn’t need his dignity anymore!
––Old Lu had gone too far. Given how they’d been students together,
couldn’t he have taken it easier on him?!
No, he really couldn’t.
Money was rich and shiny. If the great demon king didn’t kill him, he’d
really be unable to live up to all those gold coins that he’d picked up.
The Falling Star Lake was dominated by a single person. Everyone shivered
and trembled under the great demon king’s rule.
The Moonlight Wetland was in a different situation. The professional

players all understood that the Team of Gods would be split up, and on this
side, there was a specifically invited player that Wei Xiao knew. It was Ayu,
from the double snipers team in the Korean competition zone.
This player was known as the ‘Little God Kim’ in the Korean competition
zone. His storm hunter was godly, and he was very much able to show off.
Previously, during the winter training camp, Wei Xiao had played against
them in the doubles competition. Their crap combination had been caught
off guard and beaten up quite miserably.
Now that they’d accidentally run into each other, Wei Xiao recognized him,
but Ayu didn’t know who he was.
All Ayu saw was Yan Jiang. His eyes lit up, and he thought he’d found
treasure!
Ayu wasn’t the only one who thought so. It was likely that all the players in
Moonlight Wetland would be happy when they saw God Yan.
Who didn’t know about this? God Yan didn’t like the singles competition.
He was only participating to give face to the competition committee.
To encounter Yan Jiang out of the five people from the Team of Gods was
good news from heaven.
Compared with the other four zones, especially Falling Star Lake,
Moonlight Wetland was like a paradise!
Ayu was using the storm hunter. Wei Xiao hadn’t switched to his shadow
thief and flew over directly in his immortal warlock form.
The storm hunter and immortal warlock both belonged to c-position talents
that could really show off their damage. Their survival ability and ability to
deal DPS were both very high. When it came to soloing with these talents,
it relied completely on the player’s personal level.
Wei Xiao’s personal level…
It was time for everyone to see what the grandmaster’s thousand layers of
clouds was like!
At first sight, this was clearly a lucky player’s ID. The storm hunter didn’t
pay them much attention and was only wary of Yan Jiang, who was in the
distance. He was afraid that he might switch to a medicine warlock and
send him out of the game.
And then…
Ayu’s heart was filled with ‘f*ck me’!
Where did this godly immortal come from?
Their immortal warlock was so fierce!
The unfortunate players from other competition zones didn’t know that the
player with this shameless ID was actually Quiet.
If they’d gotten even the tiniest hint, then they wouldn’t have taken the
situation so lightly.
The immortal warlock started with connecting clouds, then cloud mark. A
set of combo skills covered the heavens and the earth, aiming at the storm
hunter and forcing him to evade in a panic.
Ever since he’d gotten abused in the winter training camp, Ayu had been
training hard after returning home. He performed well during the entire
regular season and now wanted to show the world what he could do during
this opening game!
He couldn’t get beaten up like this by an ordinary player. Ayu calmed down
quickly and tried to interrupt the immortal warlock’s skills.
Special techniques like the thousand layers of clouds had to be set up step
by step.
Its difficulty level was much lower than the nine light arcs, but it was still a
very strong technique.
Ayu’s storm hunter had a very big advantage. As long as he could move
flexibly and avoid even one of the immortal warlock’s cloud marks, he
could make the thousand layers of clouds disappear like a soap bubble.
You wanted to brush out thousand layers of clouds?

He wasn’t just a wooden training dummy. He wouldn’t let the opponent
achieve it just like that!
Ayu stepped on raindrops and moved very nimbly. It looked like he was
about to shake off the cloud mark…
But the immortal warlock seemed to see through his path. A cloud mark
swept over, catching Ayu by surprise. By the time he tried to retreat, he’d
already hit a cloud mark.
This!
How strong!
This was by no means the level of play belonging to an ordinary player!
Ayu was shocked, and the audience who were watching the live broadcast
were even more surprised. “Quiet’s immortal warlock is even stronger than
Ning Zhehan’s.”
“Upstairs, don’t trample on others. Our FTW’s cubs are all very strong.”
“This thousand layers of clouds… has really been stacked up skillfully!”
“I don’t know why, but it holds a shadow of Xie He.”
“It’s not Xie He, it’s Close.”
“Holy shit…”
Quiet’s immortal warlock was very similar to Close’s.
And the fans were all clear about Close’s attributes.
That unreasonable ability to replicate and reproduce all the play styles and
micro habits of all the peak players.
What kind of feng shui did FTW have?

Coming up with one great demon king, followed by a little demon?
When they saw this immortal warlock who was showing off all the way to
the heavens, nobody doubted One Lamp Grandmaster’s ability anymore.
Calling him a jungler king was really unfair to him. He was simply an all-
rounder king!
Ayu’s screen darkened. His expression was filled with disbelief.
––I Like Close The Most, who exactly was that?
Someone in the field of death explained the situation to him, “It’s FTW’s
jungler, called Quiet. He’s very strong.”
The discontent that had originally filled Ayu’s heart all disappeared. In that
moment, he was very zen: Oh, it turned out to be him.
Wei Xiao killed the storm hunter easily, but he sucked in a breath as soon as
he turned back.
In front of the withered branches and rotten leaves, three figures were now
charging towards the holy priest who was bathed in white light.
Wei Xiao didn’t have time to pick up the equipment. He first picked up the
skill points, then switched talents. The agile storm hunter stepped on
raindrops and flew over.
The raindrops made a bridge, and each step was steady and accurate.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the storm hunter had arrived in front of the
holy priest. Then, he switched talents again, and the storm hunter who’d
been agile and light a moment ago was suddenly covered with a bloody
mist. The bloodthirsty blood warrior who appeared was covered in heavy
armor as he stabbed his scarlet sword into the ground.
The light from his sword was stern and spectacular. Wei Xiao stood up
straight with his sword in hand, “Stand back.”

He’d played in six global competitions, but this was the first time that
anyone had spoken these words to Yan Jiang.
Ch166.1 - Sure enough, it was great
watching beasts screw up.
The blood warrior was a great general who could hold a mountain pass
against 10,000 people on his own. After dying in battle, he became even
more bloodthirsty and fierce.
In particular, Wei Xiao’s switch from the storm hunter to the blood warrior
talent carried a very strong visual impact.
The fierceness of the audience’s mockery of Wei Xiao’s four starting talents
at the start was now equal to how awestruck they felt now.
How cool!
The cold shadow thief, the fairy-like immortal warlock, the light and agile
storm hunter, and the aggressive and overbearing blood warrior.
There were contrasts everywhere, and watching it was very inspiring no

matter what talent he switched to!
Without mentioning the audience, even the players across from them were
muddled.
This person didn’t have a team name ID. There was a flying warrior, a
berserker thief, and a death knight.
The numbers after their ID were all 4, which meant that at the very least,
their current talent specs had fully unlocked skills. As for their other
talents…
Not everyone was as ‘murderous’ as Wei Little Xiao, and being able to start
unlocking their third talent’s skills was already going up against the
heavens.
Of course, Wei Xiao hadn’t yet unlocked all the skills for all four of his
talents.
He’d only clicked open the storm hunter’s first skill, while his shadow thief,
immortal warlock, and blood warrior were all fully unlocked.
3v1, and he also had to ensure that Yan Jiang wasn’t injured. This situation
seemed a bit difficult.
The live broadcast room was noisy and lively, “Does anyone know the
details for these three people?”
“I’m not sure. We’re not clear about the situation for the other competition
zones.”
It was just like how the audience in the other competition zones hadn’t
known about Close’s heavenly group in advance. As long as the gossip
from the other competition zones wasn’t about god level players, the regular
audience naturally wouldn’t be very clear about it.
Of course, when it came to such details, they could find out if they wanted
to.
Wei Xiao was going up one against three, but he didn’t back down at all.
While the other side was still in a daze, he used a blood stab to split the air,
aiming at the berserker thief who had the lowest health among the three!
These three opponents were all using top solo talents, and each and every
one of them were good fighters. If Wei Xiao didn’t take the initiative, there
might really be a chance that he’d screw up.
The blood stab accurately landed on the berserker thief’s chest, and a blood
mark flickered over his head. Wei Xiao waited until they started to move,
then used ‘blood cut’ in a semicircular attack.
Blood stab was a single target attack, while blood cut was an AOE skill.
The three people were standing close to each other. They were all hit, and
they all suffered from the rend effect.
This series of actions were executed extremely quickly, within a single

second. Seeing that Wei Xiao was accumulating power, these three people
finally started recovering their wits.
Damn it!
What was going on with this blood warrior!
It was one against three, yet he didn’t run. Was he trying to get a triple kill?!
If Wei Xiao could hear their thoughts, there was a high chance that he
would type out the line: “I really do want to.”
Although these three players were lucky players, they were still big gods
who were famous in the casual ranked game circle.
Even if there was a wall between casual player kings and professional
players, it was impossible for the three of them to be bullied by a single
person.
They were much more experienced than the two who’d formed an alliance
earlier on. The three of them spread out to avoid hurting their teammates by
mistake, and they also gave themselves enough room to avoid Wei Xiao’s
skills.
Wasn’t it just a blood warrior?
It was a short-ranged melee talent. The berserker thief and death knight’s
range were longer than the blood warrior’s and they also had a flying
warrior who could use his great mobility to add damage. Killing him would
be a piece of cake.
The commentator sighed. “At this time, the advantages of Quiet’s four
talent choices becomes clear.”
The blood warrior switched talents again. The bloody red fog turned white,
and the immortal warlock drifted down.
The team of three: “!”
First it was the storm hunter, then the blood warrior, and now the immortal
warlock?
What the hell?
At this point, the three people naturally had no way to communicate with
each other. Even so, there was no need to type as they all had the same idea:
Don’t panic. This person may have Close in his name, but he wasn’t
actually Close after all. Across the whole Glory circle, there couldn’t be
anyone else who could master these three talents at the same time, so this
player had to be fishing in muddy waters!
And then, they were slapped in the face by a thousand layers of clouds.
In the end, they were still casual players. Coupled with their initial
carelessness, they grew desperate. The flying warrior’s hand shook, and he
switched to his own support talent.
His health had dropped to 50%. It seemed that switching to his support
talent to heal himself wasn’t a bad idea.
However…
A support talent had no DPS!
Wei Xiao finished using all the skills on his immortal warlock and
happened to arrive near the berserker thief.
The immortal warlock switched to the storm hunter and used an arrow to
take away the berserker thief’s life. At the same time, rain covered the area
within ten yards as he stepped on raindrops and arrived in front of the death
knight.
The death knight reacted quickly and switched to his heavy form that had
higher defense…
The storm hunter switched to the blood warrior again. Wei Xiao used the
phantom skill and struck from the front and back, his bloody sword
stabbing through the death knight’s armor causing scarlet blood to gush out
from the wound.
Although Wei Xiao appeared to be suppressing his three opponents and

beating them up with such a flashy talent rotation and all sorts of skills that
could be used at will, he’d also been injured in the fight.
The berserker thief and death knight’s skills were at least able to scratch
him, and it was inevitable that he would be injured no matter what. Not to
mention, he also had to protect Yan Jiang, who was standing behind him,
and ensure that he wasn’t harmed by any ranged skills.
Wei Xiao’s health had dropped down to 60%, but when he and his phantom
stabbed the death knight at the same time, his HP began to rise up again.
Once the blood warrior and his phantom hit the same target at the same
time, the phantom could convert the damage dealt into health and return it
to his master.
The death knight fell, and Wei Xiao was once again at full health.
On the withered branches, the flying warrior who’d switched back to his
attack talent had a face full of confusion.
Shit.
Where had this immortal come from?!
“Ah…”
The flying warrior knew that it was hopeless, so he gave up treatment and
simply typed out a word of mourning.
Wei Xiao used a blood stab to send him away, then replied to him, “Take
care.”
Flying warrior: “……”
The death knight who’d died one step ahead of him also began to howl, “I
haven’t even stepped out of the Moonlight Wetland yet!”
Berserker thief: “Winning the lottery wasn’t easy!”
Flying warrior: “QwQ!”
Wei Xiao glanced at the holy priest who was still healthy and whole. He
typed: “Who told you guys to have a go at God Yan?”
The three: “???”
The flying warrior was filled with grievances. “We only wanted to take a
photo with God Yan!”
The berserker thief continued, “Yeah, yeah, it’s not easy to meet God Yan.
We just wanted to commemorate the moment.”
Wei Xiao turned his head to look at Yan Jiang.
Yan Jiang didn’t refute it.
Before Wei Xiao rushed over, they had indeed had such a series of
conversations.
Wei Xiao blinked, then comforted them, “It’s okay, it’s not too late to do it
now. Quickly take a screenshot.”
The team of three corpses: “…………………”

To hell with your screenshot!
What kind of f*cking ‘yin and yang’ photo was this?!
Who would want such a miserable photo of their deaths?!
After lying there as a corpse for 30 seconds, they were all sent to the field
of death…
Great. They didn’t even manage to get a yin and yang photo.
Wei Xiao came over to Yan Jiang’s side. “Captain Yan, you’re very
popular.”
Yan Jiang: “They had nothing to fear.” They’d felt that they would
definitely be able to kill him.
Wei Xiao: “That’s true. When they see Close, they definitely wouldn’t dare
to take a group photo with him.” Forget about even taking a screenshot,
they might as well jump into the swamp and commit suicide.
Wei Xiao was very keen and noticed that Yan Jiang was ignoring him. He
continued, “I’m not stepping on you, I’m just telling the truth.”
Yan Jiang walked faster.
Unfortunately, the immortal warlock’s movement skills were even faster.

“As for Close’s popularity…” The rest of the sentence was implicit.
Yan Jiang: “If you keep talking nonsense, the bet agreement will be void.”
Wei Xiao: “Okay, okay, okay, I won’t talk about it anymore.”
The Moonlight Wetland opened up a mode of flying chickens and jumping

dogs.
The basic routine went like this––

When they encountered the enemy, their opponents would be overjoyed
when they saw God Yan.
Wei Xiao would rush over with his casual player identity and slaughter
them until nothing was left.
Slowly, the audience also started to sense something––
“How subtle, God Yan is a dazzling and eye-catching piece of fat bait.”
“Little Lunatic Wei’s really capable. He even dares to use God Yan as a
chess piece.”
“What chess piece? He’s a tender flower! Quiet is a flower protector!”
“Isn’t Kim Sung-hyun the tender flower?”
Oh, the real tender flower was currently still closed up in the maze.
Bai Cai understood what Wei Xiao was thinking. His live broadcast room
remained on Wei Xiao’s perspective, and he could see everything that Little
Lunatic Wei was doing.
Wei Xiao protecting Yan Jiang like this was all for their captain.
Even the current FTW wasn’t very clear about the grievances between the
former FTW players.
But there was one thing that they could be sure about––the accounts that
had to be settled between them all wouldn’t be easy to balance.
During this season, Lu Feng would definitely compete against Yuan Ze, Xie
He, and Kim Sung-hyun in the global singles finals, but he wouldn’t meet
Yan Jiang.
If fate was on their side, they may meet in 5v5, but there was no chance in
the singles.
The opening game was likely to be the only chance for a fight between
Close and Yan Jiang.
Even though Wei Xiao knew that Yan Jiang had no intention to fight at this
time, he still wanted to pack up and send this ‘gift’ to the captain.
If he seized every possible opportunity, then there would be no such thing

as being unable to balance things out.
Brother Cai understood Wei Xiao, but he couldn’t bear to look directly at
the scene.
Wei Little Xiao, should you be called smart or not?
By the time they arrived in the finals circle, wouldn’t the God Yan who’d
learned the truth blow up?
When they went over the game replay after the opening game, wouldn’t the
captain be jealous?
Ummm…
When Brother Cai thought about that potential scene, he unexpectedly felt a
kind of fascinated pleasure.
Sure enough, it was great watching beasts screw up.

Ch166.2 - Tigers were most afraid
of tigers who played at being pigs
to eat tigers.
With God Yan advertising himself as a giant piece of bait, Wei Xiao
slaughtered his way through the Moonlight Wetland. Not only did he
complete all four of his talents, he also built up three half-finished pieces of
equipment.
The resources available in the five outer zones was limited. There were
basically no full pieces of equipment, only half-finished pieces, and even
then, the drop rate was very low.
Wei Xiao was too murderous, resulting in bad luck. All of the equipment he
obtained had been snatched up from his opponents, and it hadn’t been easy
for him to cobble together three half-finished pieces.
Equipment could only be traded in for equipment at the same level, so low
level equipment could only be tossed away…
“Captain Yan, here’s a pair of speed boots.”
“Take this ebony staff.”
“This light armor isn’t bad, either. Put it on.”
“Are the shin guards a little heavy? Your body’s not good enough.”
Yan Jiang: “Am I a trash can?”
Wei Xiao sent a smiley face, “I’m protecting your HP.”

Yan Jiang: “It’s better if you give me the half-finished equipment.”
Wei Xiao: “What are you thinking? How can I protect you without them?”
If God Yan had been in Group A during the winter training camp, he
wouldn’t have tried to ‘reason’ with Quiet.
Wei Xiao had opened up slaughter mode in the Moonlight Wetland, but
because he also had to protect a holy priest on the way, his speed was a bit
slower than the rest.
By the time they reached the edge of the Moonlight Wetland, they
encountered an invited player who’d rushed through the whole way.
There were three invited players in the Moonlight Wetland. One was Yan
Jiang, one was Ayu, and the third was the spirit mage in front of them,
Edward.
This player was quite well known, and he was accompanied by two other
players, both of whom were well-known anchors.
The terrain grew smoother as they neared the inner circle. The color of the
marsh lightened, and there were traces of how the Moonlight Wetland had
gained the ‘moonlight’ part of its name.
A big moon hung far away in the sky. It wasn’t like the small jade plate-
sized moon in the real world, but a huge moon that covered half the sky.
The huge silver and white ball of light looked like an eye that was peeping
into the world.
The light it gave off was very strong, but it wasn’t as bright as the sun that
could light up the sky and earth. Instead, it was a cold white that always
brought with it gloom and fog. The beams of light refracted in the air,
reflecting off the dust and filth.
Under the huge moon, Wei Xiao saw Edward, and Edward also noticed Yan
Jiang.
Both sides stopped at the same time, their intentions obvious.
Edward didn’t pay any attention to Wei Xiao at all. His eyes were locked on
Glory’s number one support.
Wei Xiao estimated the three people’s fighting power, his eyes filling up
with murderous energy.
This may be Wei Xiao’s most critical battle. If he won, he could smoothly
take Yan Jiang out of the Moonlight Wetland. But if he lost, well, he would
have to kill Yan Jiang first.
If his captain couldn’t obtain something, then nobody else should think of
getting it either.
They didn’t waste time with nonsense. A battle was imminent!
At this time, Wei Xiao was in his immortal warlock form. The other side
had a spirit mage, a berserker warrior, and an immortal thief.
No matter how they looked at it, it seemed that Wei Xiao would be DEAD
in capital letters.
The immortal warlock was squishy and had low defense. It wasn’t suited
for group fights.
Thousand layers of clouds was a single target attack. Even if the damage
dealt was high, only one person could be killed with it. When the player
landed back on the ground, they could only wait to be beaten and killed.
It wasn’t like the shadow thief’s light arcs, which dealt explosive damage
over a large range. Even if the damage could be divided up between
teammates or evaded by relying on positioning, it was still a very strong
wave of damage.
Edward and the others really didn’t place any importance on Wei Xiao’s
immortal warlock.
If his default talent was the immortal warlock, then it was almost
guaranteed that his other talents would also be mage talents.
Edward himself was an excellent mid-laner. Based on his understanding of

mid-lane heroes, he wasn’t afraid of anyone except Xie He and Close!
The immortal warlock had the advantage when it came to flexibility.

Edward didn’t want Wei Xiao to run off, so he typed out a sentence: “Kill
the immortal warlock first!”
As long as God Yan didn’t take the medicine warlock talent, he was just a
tasty dessert.
If he had chosen the medicine warlock, the three of them could still manage
to kill him after taking turns attacking one after another.
Edward’s plan was logical and reasonable, and his brain was very tactical.
However…
The audience in the live broadcast: “Fellow brothers, let’s all type out our
heartache on the public screen.”
“Heartache.”
“Heartache.”
A questioning voice mixed in with the screen filled with ‘heartache’: “Is
Quiet so strong? These three aren’t ordinary players…”
Earlier, everyone had watched as Quiet fought one against three. They
acknowledged Quiet’s strength.
However, those three had been casual players. Could they be compared with
a professional player and game anchors?
They were also a group of three, but the strength of these three people was
enough to toss the other three’s corpses two blocks away.
Someone in the audience answered, “But the problem is that these three
look down on Quiet.”
The audience who’d asked the question: “……”
They got it. Tigers weren’t afraid of tigers, but were most afraid of tigers
who played at being pigs to eat tigers.
Edward looked down on Wei Xiao and wanted to kill him with one attack.
Underestimating his enemy like this was no different from a chance from
heaven descending on Wei Xiao.
Quiet––he was a famous opportunist in Glory. How could he miss this

opportunity?
The immortal warlock fell from the clouds, gathering them together, and
smashed a full set of cloud marks onto his body.
Edward sneered inwardly: He really had some skills to be able to form an

alliance with God Yan. Unfortunately, he could only wait for death when he
landed after his thousand layers of clouds.
Wei Xiao brushed up his thousand layers of clouds. Meanwhile, the

immortal thief beside Edward rushed up and took all the damage.
The thousand layers of clouds was a single target attack that would only
target the nearest unit. Its target couldn’t be locked manually, so the
immortal thief became its first target.
Was the immortal thief looking to die? Was this host selflessly sacrificing
himself for Edward?
Of course not!
The immortal thief’s ultimate move was the ten thousand sword volley.
Once it was used, there would be an automatic reduction in damage taken,
and this thousand layers of clouds only shaved off half of his health.
The three players cooperated very well together. After the immortal thief
retreated, the immortal thief switched to a support talent to heal himself,
and the berserker warrior rushed up boldly and resolutely. It looked like he
was going to send Wei Xiao flying.
After the immortal warlock used thousand layers of clouds, there would be
an empty period where all of his skills were on cooldown and no skills
could be released.
If these two axes landed, the squishy immortal warlock would almost
instantly become a spirit heading back to the West.
Edward felt that the situation was stable and had already shifted his
attention to Yan Jiang.
But unexpectedly, in the next moment, the humidity rose up sharply and
countless raindrops shimmered into existence around them. The immortal
thief and the berserker warrior were both stunned for a moment.
When they returned to their senses, they saw a storm hunter stepping on
raindrops like an agile elf, charging towards the immortal thief who was at
half health.
The immortal thief’s support talent was the type that healed over time. His
health was currently rising back up slowly, but at this time, the rain grew
sharp edges and shot straight at his face. He was currently a clumsy support
talent with low mobility and had no way to avoid the attack.
Swish, swish, swish!
There were several consecutive swishing sounds as sharp arrows pierced

through the immortal thief’s throat. Blood poured out!
The immortal thief panicked and attempted to switch talents to try to

escape, but he’d made a big, huge, giant mistake.
His support talent was already his talent with the highest defense. By
switching to the thief at this time, he’d lost his defense bonus, and his
health dropped even faster.
Another rain arrow shot over.
Wei Xiao killed the immortal thief!
After one of the members of their team died, Edward and the berserker
warrior were both left in a daze.
This player, whom they’d originally thought would be easy to kill, ended up
being such a difficult opponent?
And… what the hell kind of dog fart combination was the immortal
warlock and storm hunter?!
But this was just the beginning. Wei Xiao scattered raindrops again and
easily arrived in front of the spirit mage.
Edward’s expression was heavy even as he tossed out his skills.
It was easy for him to kill a storm hunter who’d already used up all his
skills in the air.
Unfortunately, Wei Xiao only intended to use the storm hunter to approach
Edward. When he landed, there were no signs of the storm hunter anymore.
Under his black hood was a cold and pale jaw. His red blade flashed,
aiming a shadow attack at Edward’s back!
Edward sucked in a breath of cold air. “Shadow thief?!” These words were
shouted into his headset.
The berserker warrior noticed that something wasn’t right. He left Edward
behind and started to run.
As a shadow thief, Wei Xiao only needed half a second to kill the spirit
mage after he approached it.
Thieves with their high explosive DPS had a natural advantage against
mages, let alone when there was a big difference in equipment between the
two. The fact that their personal levels weren’t much different didn’t play
much of a role.
Edward didn’t even know what had happened even after he died.
Wei Xiao used two movement skills to rush up, wanting to prevent the
berserker warrior from running away.
Unexpectedly, this fellow brother was very cowardly. He hadn’t moved this
quickly even during the fight, but was clearly able to run like crazy when it
came to running away.
He couldn’t catch up…
Wei Xiao felt that it was a pity, but there was nothing he could do.
This was what the big brawl was like. Fighting was very important, but
escaping was also a critical subject that had to be learned. If strategic
retreats were implemented well, then the player could reach the final circle.
The berserker warrior also felt that he could slip away. It hadn’t been easy
for him to participate in such a global event, and he didn’t want it to come
to an end here.
If he was going to escape, he was going to aim for the Central Zone! Being
able to see a little more was better than nothing!
Who could’ve known…
A wall of light blocked his way.
The berserker warrior bumped into it head on. There was a bang as he
smashed himself into a daze.
Wei Xiao: “!”
Yan Jiang didn’t say anything as he used another series of control skills on
the berserker warrior’s body. “What are you doing standing there in a daze.”
Wei Xiao tsked.
He rushed up the remaining few steps and killed the berserker warrior
who’d been controlled until he was dizzy!
At the same time, the moon fell, the aura contracted, and Wei Xiao and Yan
Jiang entered the Central Zone.
Yan Jiang’s health was stable and steady at 80%.
Let alone getting seriously hurt, he was still close to full health.
Wei Xiao: “I won.”
The Central Zone was different from the Moonlight Wetland. It was
covered with extremely strong beams of light that had thoroughly cleared
out the haze.
Yan Jiang looked at the shadow thief in front of him: His dark cloak was
dyed with holy light, his pale skin carried traces of warmth. This was
clearly one of his most hated talents, but looking at now, it didn’t seem so
annoying.
He typed, “You won.”
The dialog box above the two people hadn’t yet disappeared when another
system announcement came out––
Central Zone: First Blood!
Central Zone: FTW.Close killed L&P.Gary.
In the five outer zones, First Blood had been Close’s.
Now, in the Central Zone, First Blood was still Close’s.
He killed the person who was last year’s singles player runner up and starter
jungler for the team competition’s runner up team L&P: Gary!
xiin: (Wei Xiao’s First Blood will also be Close’s…?)
Ch167.1 - He was cowering to the
point he’d made it a characteristic.
When Wei Xiao saw this announcement, his reaction was, “F*ck, how
strong!”
His eyes grew brighter.
Yan Jiang glanced over at him and said nothing.
On the other hand, Old G was really miserable. He’d originally been in the
same outer zone as Close, in Falling Star Lake.
Close had opened up slaughter mode all across Falling Star Lake, but Old G
hadn’t fallen behind by much. The two of them had pushed all the way to
the Central Zone, one from the east, and the other from the west.
After leaving the outer zones, the players from the same zone would be
squeezed into the same area. Old G had filled up the screen like crazy with
his Martian text, “Where◆is Close, oO Laozi has come to kill you oo!”
After brushing out two or three lines, Gary successfully summoned the
great demon king.
And then……
The great demon king happily collected First Blood.
Seriously. Gary had made great contributions to Close obtaining First

Blood.
Getting First Blood in the Central Zone was different from getting it in the
five outer zones. There was an element of luck in the outer zones. If a
player landed in a zone like the Shining Gold Temple, they wouldn’t see
another living person for half the game. Even Close would have to give up
on getting First Blood.
Of course, the Shining Gold Temple was relatively safe. Each zone had its
own advantages and disadvantages.
Getting First Blood in the Central Zone had little to do with luck.
Whoever made their way to the Central Zone first would have the biggest
chance of obtaining First Blood.
Those who could enter the Central Zone were all experts in all aspects.
They were able to run away if they couldn’t win, and also had sufficient
skill and experience to kill directly when they could.
It only took two minutes for Close to kill Gary.
It wasn’t because Gary was a crappy player; it was that Gary hadn’t even
thought of running and had insisted on fighting.
The big brawl mode wasn’t like the previous singles competition mode
where players met in a narrow canyon and could continue fighting after
dying. Here, one fight determined life or death. Losing was losing, and
winning was winning. The emphasis wasn’t purely on PK.
Old G was still in a trance when he arrived at the field of death, “←￠Did I
die just liek that?? ☆”
Most people couldn’t understand Chinese, but some of them could.
Money, who had ‘Close Has Great Skills’ hanging over his head, picked up
the conversation, “God G?”
Gary saw his ID and first typed out a word to show respect, “F*CK!”
Money: “……”
Gary tested, “A Close fan?” (The following Martian text has been
automatically translated into normal text)
Money’s lips twitched. “No.”
“Then what’s with your name?”
“……”
Money, who’d explained himself countless times since arriving in the field
of death, gave up––
Yes, yes, yes, he was a Close fan, a fan who was greedy for Close’s skills,
okay?!
People who had ‘died’ wouldn’t be given time on the screen. The Central
Zone was currently noisy and bustling.
The ring of light had shrunk down to the central ring area, and nearly three
fifths of the area had already been cut off. There was no longer any strange
terrain, and the dazzling lights lit everything up. It was clearly telling the
players––fight, quickly fight and beat each other up!
Wei Xiao was still praising Close. Yan Jiang typed, “Are you going to the
final circle or not.”
Wei Xiao missed his captain to death. He immediately said, “Going!” He

wanted to go and meet him quickly, and he’d give him a big kiss when they
met. A really big one!
It was only at this time that Wei Xiao and Yan Jiang’s bet finally showed its
power.
What was an alliance? Was it the several people who seemed to be working
together and appeared to be more on guard against their own ‘teammates’
than their opponents?
Of course not.
A real alliance was based on cooperation!
In the big brawl, skills were blind. How could they cooperate?
Wei Xiao and Yan Jiang could.
After they entered the Central Zone, the audience who were watching the
live broadcast finally understood.
“Holy shit, so that’s how it is!”
“Quiet is so badass!”
“Your God Yan is still God Yan… this skill accuracy is as high as 100%!”
“No wonder God Yan said that he’d send him six pieces of fully completed
gear. This… is a piece of cake.”
In the Moonlight Wetland, Wei Xiao had enough strength to protect Yan
Jiang as they charged out, but in the Central Zone, if he needed to continue
protecting Yan Jiang, he might not even be able to touch the edge of the
finals circle.
So, he’d proposed that as long as he could protect Yan Jiang in the outer
one, then they would head to the final circle together.
Who said that four healer talents were useless?
When matched up with a DPS king who had picked out a full set of attack
talents, it was absolutely the best, okay?!
The first group of people they encountered in the Central Zone… Yan Jiang
raised his hand, and the holy priest was shrouded in light which turned into
a door as soon as it landed, steadily trapping three layers within it.
These three players were all high level players. They were muddled as soon
as they saw Yan Jiang and thought to themselves: What is God Yan trying
to do? It didn’t matter how long he controlled them for, it wasn’t as though
he could kill them.
And then……
A wisp of clouds floated over, and the immortal warlock’s elegant figure
rushed over. Skills smashed into them endlessly, cloud marks stacking up en
masse. Thousand layers of clouds dropped down from the sky and caught
them unprepared.
The three of them: “F*ck!” How was that possible?!
The light door would only keep them shackled for one second, and it wasn’t
a strong control skill that prevented them from moving completely.
The three players quickly hit back, wanting to kill the immortal warlock
once he landed.
Unexpectedly, they’d just started moving when a light wall smashed down.
The positioning was precise, as though it had been pre-positioned. The
accuracy of the control skill was divine.
At this time, the three people still had the thought that it was just a lucky
move. “Don’t panic, the immortal warlock is out of skills. The next
thousand layers of clouds will take at least 30 seconds…”
Wei Xiao switched talents even before the effects from the thousand layers
of clouds dispersed. The storm hunter’s jade pot spilled, filling the air with
rain. He started stepping on raindrops with a deadly precision enough to
make people feel numb.
Swish, swish, swish! Countless arrows hit the three people head on, leaving
them instantly seriously injured.
What made people’s scalps go numb was that when the light wall faded
away, Yan Jiang had already switched to another talent. The elemental
shaman’s earth prison totem rose up from the ground.
What did it mean to be controlled until one entered seclusion?
These three were doubting life!

Wei Xiao won three kills, making his score race ahead like crazy. He
crushed Xie He and returned to second place.
First place was Close, second place was I Like Close The Most.
Even the straight men in the China competition zone were excited. “After
looking at it for a long time, these toxic IDs seem very attractive!”
Wei Xiao slaughtered his way through the Central Zone. Towards the end,
he commented, “Captain Yan, you really leave people with a lack of game
experience.”
Yan Jiang followed his brain circuits. “Is it them or you who’s lacking game
experience?”
Wei Xiao: “Of course it’s me!”
Yan Jiang’s control skills were too fierce. He had amazing judgement and as
much accuracy as a hack. It was likely that anyone who was controlled by
him would go into seclusion.
He’d chosen four healers as his starting talents. These talents didn’t have
any DPS skills, and the rules for the big brawl made it clear that all healing
skills could only be used on the player themselves, while control skills
could be used on their opponents.
All support talents had one or two control skills in addition to their healing
skills.
A good support player not only had to heal people, but also had to control
enemies.
Yan Jiang wasn’t just a good support, he was a god level support. There was
nobody in the whole of Glory who didn’t respect his control abilities.
He could control anyone, and nobody could run from him. He started fights
perfectly every time, giving his teammates enough fault tolerance.
Why was it said that any starter position in Y1 could be changed? It was
because there was a captain who could provide such precise control. Even a
chicken pecking at the keyboard could deal amazing DPS (an exaggerated
metaphor).
Wei Xiao’s bet had been a great plan:
In the short term, he could coax Yan Jiang and prevent him from dying
early while finding some fun for himself so that the Moonlight Wetland
wasn’t so boring.
In the long term, he could kill his way through the Central Zone, seize fully
completed equipment, and prepare for the final circle.
Of course, the most important thing was sending Captain Yan to his own
captain so that he could vent his anger if he wanted to, or if he wasn’t angry,
then at least make use of his skills.
The special skill ‘fury’ was something that lingered in Wei Xiao’s mind.
An 80% increase in damage, tsk…
Ten light arcs, understand?
The Central Zone was also divided into districts, but it wasn’t as clear as it
was in the outer zones and was defined by distance.
For example, Wei Xiao’s Moonlight Wetland and Close’s Falling Star Lake
were diagonally across from each other. Unless the players circled around,
it would be difficult for them to encounter each other before they entered
the final circle.
Wei Xiao wouldn’t intentionally circle around the map to find his captain.
The Central Zone wasn’t as leisurely as the Moonlight Wetland, and the
ring shrank very quickly. Players who didn’t walk in a straight line were
likely to die outside the ring, negating all their efforts.
With the control god Yan Jiang there, Wei Xiao’s killing grew more and
more frenzied. It was to the point where he asked, “Do you believe that I
can kill the gold hunter in front of us with one hand?”
The audience who could see their chat boxes filled up the scrolling
comments with: “Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Quiet is being inhuman!”
“Upstairs, wake up, when has Quiet ever acted human.”
“Holy shit, fellow brothers, that gold hunter is Eurostar!”
Exactly… the gold hunter who had the ID ‘Close Is Very Strong’ really was
TPT’s little coward Eurostar-star.
Eurostar was really miserable. He’d shivered and trembled the whole way
through the Thousand Needle Forest.
There was a Xie He and a Moonlit. Eurostar was like a chicken who was
being strangled by the throat, and he didn’t even dare to breathe too hard.
He was really cowering, cowering to the limit, cowering to the point he’d
made it a characteristic, and cowering to the point his fans all felt heartache
and were wiping away tears for him.
xiin: (i see some of you understood my note from the last chapter… )
Ch167.2 - The content in his chat
box was so sweet it was deadly,
“Captain~~~~”
The Thousand Needle Forest was filled with bloody rain. Xie He and
Moonlit fought fiercely against each other as soon as they entered the
Central Zone. At the time, Eurostar had been really scared. He hid behind a
huge ice sculpture and waited for the two to finish fighting.
God Xie and Moonlit were old opponents. They hadn’t gotten over the
episode from the winter training camp before meeting again here; of course
they had to fight.
There weren’t that many people who’d come out of the Thousand Needle
Forest alive. Other than Eurostar-star, there were two or three other small
cats who’d managed to sneak out by hiding themselves well and avoiding
the plague gods.
The audience was eager to watch a solo fight between two mages. Both the
European and China competition zones featured and provided commentary
on the fight.
Xie He’s initial talents and Moonlit’s initial talents overlapped quite a lot.
Both of them were people who would fight all the way to the end, so they
didn’t take any support talents and had selected all mage talents.
Immortal warlock, wood spirit mage, demonic mage, blood demon druid.
The immortal warlock and the spirit mage were agile assassin mage type
heroes. The demonic mage had extremely high damage, and the blood
demon druid had strong survivability.
These talent selections reflected how alike Xie He and Moonlit’s
personalities were.
Slink around and try to survive? No way! Either you die or I live!
They had the same personality, same talents, and there were also grudges
between the two players. When they started fighting, it couldn’t possibly be
more fun to watch.
Xie He’s immortal warlock was famous for being the ceiling of the Glory
circle. Unlike Wei Xiao, who still needed to link up his skills to brush out
thousand layers of clouds, his cloud marks were everywhere, and he made
use of the special skill ‘levitate’ to drop down from the clouds right from
the start!
Moonlit used the spirit mage’s powerful movement ability to avoid damage.
Xie He shot out a demonic magic beam as soon as he landed, and it was
unclear when he’d laid out the angles, but four beams overlapped, stabbing
towards Moonlit.
Moonlit had nowhere to hide and could only switch to the blood demon
druid, making use of its ability to transform damage into health to preserve
his life.
From this wave of exchanges, it could be seen that Moonlit was a little less
experienced.
If they were only fighting with immortal warlocks, then he could fight
evenly with Xie He, but when it came to switching between four talents, the
situation became more difficult for him.
This wasn’t a matter of personal talent, but rather a lack of experience.
The immortal warlock and demonic mage were two very different types of
talents.
The former attacked stealthily in close combat and smashed damage into
the opponent’s face; the latter talent required the player to stand at the back
and have enough accuracy to aim the damage in one place.
Most mid-lane players were focused on one style. For example, they may
be more suited towards assassin mages or more suited to fortress mages.
Both players had taken both types, but playing at Xie He’s level was
impossible without a few years of experience.
Moonlit had been able to win against Xie He during the winter training
camp because on one hand, he was using the immortal warlock, and on the
other hand, RR’s mid-jungler linkage had caught EVE off-guard.
Now, when they met in the big brawl, the situation wasn’t so simple.
By the time Xie He also switched to the blood demon druid, Moonlit was
done for.
The field of death.
Money sighed. “Oh, my poor little Moon-moon.”
Old G sighed. “Oh, my poor captain.”
What was wrong with Yuan Ze?
Oh, the Battlesong Plains were adjacent to Falling Star Lake. Yuan Ze,
who’d fought all the way out from the Battlesong Plains had just run into
Close.
This scene was too exciting. All the venues around the world had switched
to show this scene at this time.
It was shown on big screens and small screens, full screens and half
screens, but undoubtedly, almost the entire world was paying attention to
these two people who’d met on a narrow road!
Meanwhile, Wei Xiao launched himself at Eurostar-star.

Eurostar was startled and quickly switched to the storm hunter, running
away super fast.
Wei Xiao typed, “Don’t run!”
Eurostar could type too, “Should I not run and wait for death?”
Wei Xiao: “Isn’t dying under my sword a happy event?”
Eurostar: “……” Like hell!
Even without mentioning anything else, our little coward… Oh, no, our
Euro God’s storm hunter was really very good.
His path of stepping on raindrops would never break. The light elf stepped
on the rain, running away quickly.
Suddenly, Eurostar saw a ‘savior’!
Who was it?
Who was that man who was standing still in the dazzling light of the
Central Zone in a snowy white robe?!
––Y1.Yan.
Eurostar teared up. “God Yan! Save me!”
For better or worse, the two of them had ‘one round of feelings’ from the
winter training camp. Eurostar’s plea for help was very inspired, but
unfortunately…
Scrolling comments: “I don’t dare to watch.”
“Feeling heartache for my star.”
“What’s this called? My gossip partner and my sworn enemy got together?”
“Tsk, it’s really a big play!”

Eurostar’s eyesight was very sharp. He watched the holy priest lift his hand.
This gesture, this light, it was clearly the light gate!
Great, as long as God Yan helped him stop Little Lunatic Wei, he would
surely escape to live another day.
The light gate fell, steady and accurate, smashing onto Eurostar’s body.
Eurostar: “??????”
Wei Xiao used sudden strike to approach, his crimson blade moving like a
shadow.
Eurostar yelled, “God Yan! You controlled the wrong person!”
Wei Xiao still had time to type: “How was it wrong? It’s not wrong at all.”
He used a shadow attack to get close, stacking up blood marks on

Eurostar’s body. Eurostar was shocked. “Do you have to…”
Do you have to go as far as to brush out eight light arcs for me?!
Ah… Eurostar died amidst a riotous burst of brilliant color.
It wasn’t until he entered the field of death and communicated with the
other dead bodies that Eurostar realized what was going on.
“……………………” What kind of sin did I commit?!
God Yan hadn’t needed to use a control skill.
He was the one who’d been too arrogant QAQ!
Not long after, Fu Li also appeared in the field of death. Eurostar wailed
and cried loudly, “Captain, God Yan and Little Lunatic Wei forcibly xxx-ed
me!”
Fu Li: “……”
After crying, Eurostar came back to his senses. “Captain, why are you also
dead?”
Fu Li: “Bad luck.”
His luck really wasn’t very good. Fu Li had been the first player to walk out
of the maze, leaving God Kim far behind him.
Kim Sung-hyun, who’d been lost in the maze the whole time and smashed
into walls so much his head was covered in bumps, finally made it out of
the maze.
His loyal fans, who’d accompanied him smashing into walls the whole way,
completely understood how aggrieved God Kim felt.
He was too miserable, really too miserable.
Just look at the rankings.
Everyone from the Team of Gods was on the list!
Close was first, Yuan Ze and Xie He were fighting over third place, and the
second place was the little demon who was supported by Captain Yan.
Although his name was I Like Close The Most, he was obviously Captain
Yan’s new favorite pet.
Only God Kim…
Only the lofty number one ADC in Glory had never shown up in the
rankings at all!
Kim Sung-hyun was so angry that he was about to explode. He went crazy
as soon as he came out of the maze.
Originally, this proud flower was the most gentle member of the Team of
Gods. He often snatched up kills from between the seams of his teammates’
fingers, like a harmonious and peaceful flower who only had to look
beautiful.
Now…
The Proud Flower Kim whose hackles had been all raised up killed gods
when he met gods and killed buddhas when he met buddhas, slaughtering
his way across the Shining Gold Temple and clearing it out.
Fu Li had collected a whole pile of data. He could even produce a book,

titled .
Fu Li said to Eurostar, “Special training when we go back.”
Eurostar: “Ah?”
Fu Li sneered. “Kim Sung-hyun’s play methods are very suitable for you.”
Eurostar’s head was filled with fog, and he didn’t know what kind of hellish
giant pits were waiting for him up ahead.
Yan Jiang fulfilled his promise. When Wei Xiao was only tens of meters
away from the final circle, his body was covered with six fully completed
pieces of equipment.
But Wei Xiao hadn’t stopped. He would kill anyone he encountered and
pick up any equipment he saw.
Yan Jiang didn’t ask about it. If he wanted to kill people, then he would
control them for him. They encountered no shortage of professional players,
but they all died miserably.
When the halo had shrunk down to only five meters, Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up,
“God Xie!”
Finally, the players from the adjacent Moonlight Wetland and Thousand
Needle Forest had run into each other.
Wei Xiao saw Xie He, who was the only one left.
Xie He glanced at his ID and didn’t say anything. He aimed straight at him
with a thousand layers of clouds.
This was Wei Xiao’s favorite style. He switched to the immortal warlock
and met him face on.
Xie He really didn’t take him lightly. Any player who could make their way
here, regardless of how stupid their IDs were, had to have some strength.
The angle of Wei Xiao’s connecting clouds was very delicate. Xie He’s
eyebrows raised up slightly, and his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
Not bad.
Which China competition zone mid-laner was this?
This idea had just flashed by when the immortal warlock switched to a
storm hunter. Raindrops flew up, and a cold arrow shot straight at him.
Xie He felt a brief moment of surprise as an inexplicable sense of

familiarity surged into his heart.
––Close?
Then he looked at this ID again…
Oh, don’t say it’s Close. If Close really saw this ID, that man would
probably send him to hell with nine light arcs.
Xie He’s talents were all mage talents, but he wasn’t the slightest bit afraid
of Wei Xiao’s talent kaleidoscope.
When Wei Xiao used the immortal warlock, he also used the immortal
warlock and faced him head on.
When Wei Xiao switched to the storm hunter, he used the spirit mage’s
mobility to avoid damage.
When Wei Xiao switched to the blood warrior, Xie He used the demonic
mage, accurately launching skills that targeted all kinds of melee talents.
The two of them fought fiercely, and it was difficult to say who had the
upper hand.
At this time, a light gate dropped down, locking onto Xie He.
Xie He paused. He rotated his perspective to see his former captain bathed
in holy light.
Xie He: “?”
Yan Jiang: “Final circle.”
These words were spoken to Wei Xiao. Wei Xiao took a look at Xie He’s
remaining health, “Alright then, we’ll fight again later!”
Xie He figured out the situation, “Who is he?”
Yan Jiang: “I don’t know.”
Xie He: “……” You don’t even f*cking know who he is, but you’re
protecting him?
The final circle contracted. One glance was enough to see that there were
only seven people in the ring.
Close and Marshal, whose fight hadn’t reached any sort of conclusion, Xie
He and Wei Xiao, whose fight also hadn’t reached a conclusion due to Yan
Jiang’s interruption, Kim Sung-hyun, who was filled with a murderous aura,
and a melon seed eating audience member…
The melon seed audience member looked at their IDs and immediately
wanted to jump over to the player whose ID was clearly problematic but
should be a member of the general masses, ‘I Like Close The Most’.
“Brother, let’s jump from the challenge arena together.”
Then, his ‘fellow brother’ stepped on raindrops and flew to Close’s side.
The content in his chat box was so sweet it was deadly, “Captain~~~~”
Ch168.1 - There was always a little
beast who could destroy the
atmosphere.
The finals circle was only so big. Everyone could see the chat box that
popped up over his head.
At this moment, the thoughts of everyone present were different.
The melon seed eating audience: “???”
Yuan Ze’s head hurt. “Little Lunatic Wei?” Could you care about your
image just a little? Coming up with an ID like that was a huge piece of
black history that should be left in the closet, yet you aired it out in front of
the whole world for everyone to see?!
Proud Flower Kim, whose murderous frenzy had cooled down slightly at
the sight: “……” Sure enough, if one lived long enough, they would see all
kinds of little beasts.
The elf who’d landed lightly on the ground amidst the rain performed a
gesture.
Each character in Glory had its own in-game gesture, and it was different
for each skin.
Wei Xiao’s storm hunter was a collector’s edition fairy king skin. The
slender fairy elf figure was as pale as snow, with silver hair cascading down
like a waterfall, and a crown made of flower branches that held a charming
sapphire. The bright lights were reflected in his eyes, like a sunny day after
snow, cold but clear.
The elf king was cool and noble, but at this time, he was leaning forward
slightly, his eyes slightly narrowed, his slender fingertips touching his lips
briefly, just before a heart-shaped special effect flew out.
––Flying kiss.
Aimed precisely at Close.
The whole finals circle: “…………………..”
The global audience: “………………………………….”
Bai Cai covered his eyes. He was huffing out breaths of air.
It was a real performance of ‘things will develop in the opposite direction

when they’ve gone too far’. Regarding this Quiet who’d gone to such
extreme recklessness, the entire global audience was left choked and
speechless.
Fans in other competition zones: “Who is this? Who is this!!”
“FTW’s new jungler.”
“???”
“His strength is proportional to the craziness of his actions.”
There were fans from China who enthusiastically explained the situation,
“FTW.Quiet, jungler king, warrior king, mage king, hunter king, trash talk
king.”
“You can walk by, pass by, but don’t miss out. Become a Quiet fan, you
won’t lose out. At most, you’ll just regret until your intestines hurt.”
“After buying into Quiet, from then on, moral integrity will forever be a
passer-by.”
“Did you see that? This is FTW’s moral integrity lower limit, oh… sorry,
I’m too modest. This is clearly our China competition zone’s moral
integrity lower limit.”
What makes those who didn’t understand the situation even more frightened
was Close’s response.
Based on Xie He’s understanding of Close, he was a man who refused all
sorts of gaudy and flaunting things. When seeing this ID he would surely
send him to hell, let alone after receiving such a suffocating flying kiss.
However…
There were no nine light arcs.
There was no shadow attack.
There wasn’t even a basic attack.
Close hadn’t typed out a single word during the whole game and hadn’t said
a single sentence. But at this moment, he typed out his first word: “Good.”
Xie He: “………………………..”
Don’t interview him. If you interview him, then God Xie wouldn’t be able
to control his own mage staff!
Equally motionless was the former FTW captain, the man who’d created
one miracle after another in the Team of Gods.
Yan Jiang: “Are you a FTW player?”
Wei Xiao formally introduced himself to him, “FTW.Quiet, jungler

position. My goal is the global championship!”
Not only could God Yan see these words, the entire final circle and the
global audience could also see it very clearly!
Off stage, Coach Chen Feng and Manager Xiang Liu both felt a headache
hit them at the same time: Were there any painkillers? The headache was
the type where they would die if they didn’t take them now.
Cong Yi, who was sitting beside them, laughed without any regard for
politeness. “Really worthy of being him.”
The commentator also started to have fun with it, and the audience were
even more explosive with their scrolling comments.
When others said these words, everyone might scoff at them, feeling that
the player was acting too arrogantly or having delusions over their own
strength. In short, they were negative emotions.
But it was different with Wei Xiao. His personal style was too strange,
making it so that people didn’t feel that it was unexpected no matter what
he said, and they even started to have a strange sense of expectation.
It was as though he could do anything––this immortal could do things that

ordinary people didn’t even dare to think about!
This kind of confidence made people smile in their hearts, and also caused
them to feel an incomparable envy.
Yan Jiang had thought of the possibility that he was a professional player.
After all, the strength that he showed was very uncommon.
But…
The European competition zone camera switched to show Yan Jiang. The
chest of a man who was always calm and self-contained clearly showed ups
and downs.
What would make him even more upset was still to come.
Wei Xiao’s fingers clattered over the keyboard as he typed, explaining the
situation on his side very clearly in just a short moment, “Captain, I brought
Captain Yan here for you!”
Wei Xiao: “He has a godly special skill on him!”

Yan Jiang sucked in a light breath.
Wei Xiao: “Kill him quickly!”
Yan Jiang: “Quiet.”
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
Yan Jiang stared at this seemingly innocent word that also seemed to beg
for a beating. His fingers landed heavily on his keyboard, “This whole time,
your goal was to send me to Close?”
Wei Xiao: “Of course.” His tone was bold and righteous.
Xie He, who vaguely understood something, “……”
For a moment, he didn’t know who he should feel distressed for.
Provoking Yan Jiang like this–Quiet, you will die, you will die very
miserably.
In the whole finals circle, only the melon seed eating big brother had a face
covered in confusion.
What was everyone talking about?
Could someone translate it for him?
Miserable. He was really miserable.
So many people envied the number one melon seed eating audience, but
because the language was unclear, he didn’t couldn’t understand what kind
of melon seeds he was eating.
The finals circle wasn’t a place for people to chat in.
In the time it took for them to type out a few lines, a silver beam shot down
from the sky. A colorful gem was encased within.
This wasn’t something that would exist in reality. This dreamlike luster was
something a real gem wouldn’t have.
––Sky Island’s Heart.
The ultimate core of the big brawl.
From the outer zones to the central zone, then to the finals circle.
The only condition for victory was to obtain Sky Island’s Heart.
The halo would shrink continuously until it all entered Sky Island’s Heart.
The player who obtained this gem could stand on the new island and see the
surrender of all the beasts.
Once Sky Island’s heart landed in the finals circle, whoever could hold Sky
Island’s Heart and keep it for 300 seconds would become the final winner.
300 seconds, 5 minutes. How could a player keep and guard it in such an
arena?
The place where Sky Island’s Heart landed was randomly generated. The
melon seed eating audience was extremely lucky and was ‘blessed’ with
having Sky Island’s heart land right where he was standing.
System announcement: CM picks up Sky Island’s Heart. Countdown: 300

seconds.
It was already very unexpected for CM to have survived and made it into
the finals circle. He wasn’t a professional player, but was one of the top
anchors in the North American competition zone. He was strong and had
held his own against Gary in a 1v1 game.
It was impossible for a player with no ability to survive until now amongst
a crowd of all-stars.
But no matter how much ability he had, at this moment, at this time…
Going up against the whole Team of Gods on his own?

Mama, help me!
Even before CM could react, cloud marks, ice arrows, and spears all
whistled over. Finally, his life was taken away by a brilliant light arc.
CM was very satisfied about being able to die in such a thrilling manner.
The holder of Sky Island’s Heart had died. Not only did he drop all his
equipment and skill points, Sky Island’s Heart also hung suspended in the
air.
The commentators from all over the world started to speak quickly, “Who
will be the next to pick up Sky Island’s Heart?!”
“This is a hot potato. It’s not necessarily a good thing to pick it up now.”
“But if you can hold on for the next five minutes, victory will belong to the
holder of Sky Island’s Heart!”
“How can they hold on? The arena is so small, and all the players left alive
are god level players.”
The scene was really thrilling.
Holding Sky Island’s Heart for 300 seconds meant winning the game, but of
the six people present, none of them were easy to deal with.
What kind of concept was 5 minutes?
It only took three seconds for a shadow thief to kill someone.
Picking up Sky Island’s Heart now was no different from embarking on the
road to death.
Not only the commentators and guests, but even the audience and the fans
in the live broadcast room were all talking about it.
Countless small essays filled the scrolling comments, and nobody could see
the arena clearly through the comments.
Even in the Gossip Emperor’s broadcast, the CP fans who were immersed
in their ships couldn’t help but grow anxious. “What to do, what to do, I
don’t want to see the great demon king lose!”
“Don’t pick up Sky Island’s Heart for now. In the current situation, whoever
picks it up will die.”
“Yes, yes, yes, don’t pick it up, fight the group battle first and determine the
winner before going for it.”
“This really is a damned big brawl!”
When everyone felt that Sky Island’s Heart shouldn’t be touched, and
picking it up would be death, the system announcement rang out––
FTW.Close has picked up Sky Island’s Heart. Countdown: 280 seconds.
The whole world burst into an uproar.
Even the guests were confused. The commentators spoke quickly, “Close
has picked up Sky Island’s Heart. He’s about to face concentrated attacks!”
Close fans in the China competition zone were going crazy. “Holy shit,
what kind of situation is this?”
“Great demon king, nooo, ahhhhh!”
“Close can’t lose!”
“No way, I can’t breathe, three years ago, this group of dogs tossed away
my Close, and now they’re going to beat him up three years later?”
“Upstairs, don’t say that, your words make my heart skip a beat.”
“What if they don’t attack Close?”
“Then my heart will be even more scared!”
“Why does my great demon king have to suffer such grievance?!”

The fans’ mentality exploded, and those in the finals circle were also
stunned.
Close had picked up Sky Island’s Heart. According to the rules, they had to
go and fight for it.
Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun, Xie He… For the three of them to side together
and attack Close.
They really couldn’t make themselves lift up their guns, hold up their
arrows, or steady their mage staves.
Until a chat box popped up, “Captain, go for it!!! Kill them!!!”
The whole world fell silent.
There was always a little beast who could destroy the atmosphere.
Ch168.2 - Little Lunatic Wei, this
can also happen to you someday!
In North America, the camera lens had locked onto Lu Feng since a long
time ago. The lighting from the side left a light shadow on his face, making
his skin pale and cold, and highlighting the edges and corners of his
features.
There was no doubt that this was a face that was in line with everyone’s
aesthetic. Handsome, heroic, and unsmiling.
But when he saw the words on the screen, the corner of his mouth curved
up, his thin lips raising, and his cold eyebrows relaxing slightly, like a
butterfly fluttering in the air in early spring, bringing with it a soft, cold
breeze.
He replied to Wei Xiao: “Mm.”
His words had just landed when the shadow thief entered stealth. The chat
bubble with the single syllable accompanied him and disappeared from the
arena, leaving no traces behind.
“!!!”
So that’s how it could be done!
They’d only analyzed the competition system, only used their brains to
imagine a ferocious siege, and unexpectedly forgotten that the great demon
king’s best talent was the shadow thief who could use stealth!
Close snatching up Sky Island’s Heart wasn’t giving up the game, but rather
that he had a well thought out plan to win the game beautifully.
The commentator immediately gave a skill analysis, “Although there’s no
time limit for the shadow thief’s stealth, his figure will appear within three
seconds of being too close to another player. It’s impossible for him to
remain hidden for 300 seconds.”
The game designers understood their own talent designs better than anyone
else.
The shadow thief wasn’t the only talent who could enter stealth. If a player
could use stealth to hold Sky Island’s Heart and hide for five minutes, then
there would be no game to play.
That was why the finals circle was so small. It was so small that stealth
would be broken due to the distance between players.
Close also hadn’t intended to use stealth to hold on for 300 seconds.
He’d waited so long, but it wasn’t for the sake of hiding and dodging.
When the shadow thief approached a target, an exclamation mark would

appear over their heads.
A golden exclamation mark flashed wildly over Kim Sung-hyun’s head,

causing goose bumps to appear all over his body. “Damn it!”
He slid back a step to pull away. The shadow thief must be attacking from
behind, and he wouldn’t be the one to let Close…
A crimson blade flashed slightly, followed by a shadow attack. Kim Sung-

hyun, who’d just landed again had run directly into an attack.
He sucked in a breath and saw the shadow thief standing behind him.
The red color on the crimson blade was brighter after it saw blood. Rend
carried the effect of lowering defense, and the squishy hunter was most
afraid of this effect.
Kim Sung-hyun didn’t have time to think about how Close could lock onto
where he would step. He stepped on raindrops in a hurry and continued to
pull away.
When a hunter was faced with a thief, kiting tactics were the best choice.
As long as he could pull away, then he could drag close combat talents to
death even with basic attacks.
Unfortunately, Close had four talents and four classes.
The shadow thief used shadow attack, then his immortal warlock rushed
over with connecting clouds, his cloud marks landing in a way that filled
his opponent with apprehension.
Wei Xiao’s heart surged with excitement as he watched, “Captain is so

strong!!!” Who said that written word couldn’t express the same thing as a
voice? His exclamation marks came with sound effects.
Close built up thousand layers of clouds. Fortunately, Kim Sung-hyun had a

moment of protection from fatal injury and was able to live on with only a
sliver of health left.
Unfortunately, that didn’t mean that he could survive.
The immortal warlock switched to the storm hunter, raindrops morphing

into arrows that shot straight at him. God Kim finally died at the hands of
the talent he was best at.
System announcement: FTW.Close killed Pro.Succe.
All the major venues, oh, except for the one in the Korean competition
zone, all burst out in amazed applause.
It was too wonderful. It had taken at most ten seconds, but this round of
killing had been so excellent that it left everyone shivering and dizzy.
Switching freely between four talents, this new singles competition mode
was the great demon king’s real home court!
Kim Sung-hyun toppled to the ground. Wei Xiao couldn’t remain calm. “It’s
too exciting! I want to fight too!”
He switched to the shadow thief as he spoke and had just entered stealth
when a light gate crashed down over his head from the sky.
Wei Xiao: “???”
He’d been hit by the light gate, and his stealth was broken. He stood there
pitifully under the holy light.
Who could use a light gate?
There was only one holy priest in the whole challenge arena!
Yan Jiang said nothing. He just used his skills to tell Little Lunatic Wei:
Like hell you’re fighting.
Wei Xiao was very angry, “Let me out!”
The light gate disappeared, and another control skill landed accurately on
Wei Xiao’s head.
Wei Xiao: “………………”
The audience members who’d noticed what was happening in this small
corner were laughing so hard they were squealing like pigs.
What did it mean when they said good and evil would be rewarded?
What did it mean when they said what goes around comes around?
What did it mean when they said Little Lunatic Wei, this can also happen to
you someday!
Yan Jiang’s four talents added up to a total of eight control skills.

Previously, everyone had already seen his precise control skills in the
Central Zone, and Wei Xiao had made use of them to kill until enough
blood flowed to form a river.
Now, the Swallowtail CP had no feelings left between them. God Yan’s
control skills were all smashed onto Wei Xiao’s body.
swallowtail CP – 燕尾 Yan (燕) x Wei (尾) – the words just sound the same
Indeed, the God Yan who’d been ‘played’ had no way to kill this little
beast.
But as long as he controlled him accurately, Wei Little Xiao wouldn’t even
be able to think of moving today.
Close killed Kim Sung-hyun in an instant. By the time Yuan Ze and Xie He
reacted, God Kim was already lying there on the ground.
Kim Sung-hyun: “… Am I the only soft persimmon?!”
Old Dog Yuan still had time to type, “You’re not.”
Yuan Ze: “You’re a proud flower.”
As his voice dropped, his death knight summoned three hellhounds. He

stepped on Proud Flower Kim’s body and charged towards the shadow
thief.
It was 1v2, but Close didn’t panic at all. He landed a back stab on Xie He,
then, when the immortal warlock’s cloud mark flew over, he immediately
stepped on raindrops to pull away.
Yuan Ze simply couldn’t stop his skill at all. He bumped straight into Xie
He, who was brushing up thousand layers of clouds.
The two of them were fed full with the damage from each other’s attack.
Lu Feng summoned a phantom. One figure rushed to Xie He, and the other
blocked Yuan Ze.
He used the blood warrior’s skill to create a 2v2 momentum.
Yuan Ze had a deep understanding of the blood warrior and knew that he
was attempting to recover health from this attack. How could he let Close
succeed? He instantly switched to the berserker warrior and cut down the
phantom with bold and resolute.
Xie He didn’t fall behind. His spirit mage rolled and dodged to pull away,
magic beams shooting directly at Close’s real body.
After the phantoms died, the blood warrior was stunned for a brief moment.
Xie He’s grasp on timing was very accurate, and his magic beams gathered
and stabbed, leaving Close with only one word, death.
Was the great demon king done for?
Was winning the game with a 1v3 nothing but a dream?
The magic beams hit!
Six magic beams coming together, no matter how high his defense was, no
matter how much health he had, he would never be able to withstand this
shocking, explosive damage.
Close was dead…
In the next second, the whole audience was shocked.
There was no resurrection armor in the big brawl, and dying was dying.
There was no such thing as resurrection armor that would allow a player to
stand back up and fight again.
However, Close, who had been hit with all the magic beams, was left
almost unscathed.
The sharp eyed commentators noticed it. Brother Big Mouth’s voice was
about to become hoarse from shouting, “It’s an invincible light shield!”
Everyone seemed to be waking up from a dream, “Holy shit, Close has the
immortal warlock talent…”
At the last moment, the frozen Close had switched to the immortal warlock.
At the same time, he’d sold a piece of equipment from his blood warrior
and immediately exchanged it for the invincible light shield.
This was a piece of equipment that only mages could use. It’s effect was to
grant one second of immunity to all damage.
This kind of operation wasn’t difficult. In 5v5 games, many professional

players and even high-end players could easily switch to an invincible light
shield in the last moment before their resurrection armor kicked in, but this
was the big brawl…
There were four talents, and there was no two second gap before the
resurrection armor kicked in.
Close had switched talents, sold and purchased equipment and used the
invincible light shield in less than a second.
This hand speed…
Was it human?!
The commentator: “When the game is over, we can take a look at a direct
shot of Close’s mouse actions.”
This shooting angle existed in the competitions, where the camera only
captured operations of the players’ hands. It was for the sake of looking at
their hand speed in such critical moments.
No matter how terrible this operation was, the result was that Close didn’t
die, and the skills in Yuan Ze and Xie He’s four talents had all been used
up.
The shadow thief entered stealth, approaching the immortal warlock and
sending him back to heaven. Then, he used the shadow attack and special
skill levitate to move to Yuan Ze in a flash.
Old Dog Yuan was worthy of once being the solo king. He used the gun
warrior to move back, his long gun sweeping out with a shower of sparks to
limit the shadow thief’s movement.
However, Close didn’t need to get any closer to him. Yuan Ze’s positioning
had already put him within range of his nine light arcs.
Lights filled up most of the challenge arena, and Yuan Ze, who’d been
forced into a corner, took damage from the full set of light arcs.
System announcement: FTW.Close killed L&P.Marshal.
Wei Little Xiao, who’d been controlled into seclusion, didn’t struggle
anymore. He typed in a frenzy, “Close is amazing! Close is the most
handsome! Close is number one in the world!”
When it came to cheering, even the hardcore Close fans in the scrolling
comments weren’t as good as this little beast.
What was the highest level that fans could achieve?
Blowing rainbow farts in the challenge arena!
There were only three people left out of the original seven. The challenge
arena wasn’t big, and it now seemed a little empty.
Yan Jiang released Wei Xiao.
Close looked over. “Fight?”
Yan Jiang: “Is there any point?”
Close: “There is. It wasn’t easy for him to bring you over to me.”
As a result?
As a result, Yan Jiang used up all his control skills on Wei Xiao, controlling
him for a full 30 seconds.
Close used a thousand layers of clouds to send God Yan off-stage to rest.
System announcement: Close holds Sky Island’s Heart. Countdown: 180

seconds.
There were only two players left on the stage. They were from the same
competition zone, the same team, and were the former and present jungler
kings.
Close: “Solo?”
xiin: a public world for two~

Ch169.1 - Your God Q doesn’t even
know what it means to be a real
man!
The China competition zone was really reveling in a carnival.
Before the global big brawl opening game, the players in the China
competition zone were all eagerly discussing amongst themselves, “With
the great demon king here, we’ll definitely be able to stand proudly this
time!”
“Close is invincible, first place must belong to China!”
“Damn it, after keeping pace for three plus years, the China competition
zone can finally attract global attention on a grand scene!”
There were also those who were worried. “The great demon king hasn’t
touched the game for two months. Will he be okay?”
“The big brawl is a new game mode. Doesn’t the great demon king’s
strength lie in his ability to solo?”
“The new competition mode is full of pitfalls. Close, don’t trip and fall.”
“If Close loses miserably in the big brawl, will that mean that our China
competition zone is done for agaaaaaaaain?”
“Holy shit, fellow brother, don’t use your crow’s mouth…”
“It’s very likely… Originally, we only had the singles competition to watch.
Now that the competition system is changed, if Close messes up, this
year…”
Countless people felt a scared thrill when they heard these words: China
had only had the one singles competition champion for the past three
consecutive years. if they couldn’t even obtain this, then they’d really be
stuck kneeling all the way until the end!
“Shut up! The great demon king could win the championship for the past
three years despite his injury. This year, he’s treated his shoulder injury and
will definitely soar up into the sky!”
“Also, this year’s China competition zone is super strong. There’s no need
to mention FTW; RR is good, and 3U and TPT are also on the rise. Don’t
be so pessimistic.”
“Yes, yes, yes, maybe we can even win three championships this year…”
“Holy shit, don’t jinx it!”
The audience was already this excited and anxious before the game. During
the game, they kept holding their breaths, and they were nervous every time
a player fell from the China competition zone. Even Close’s heavenly group
became attractive and lovely to the straight men who were watching.
Now, there were only two people left in the finals circle. One was FTW’s
top-laner, and one was FTW’s jungler.
No matter how they played around, first place belonged to FTW, and it
belonged to the China competition zone.
How could they not celebrate!
The game hadn’t yet ended yet, but the China competition zone’s
excitement had already reached its climax!
The other competition zones were a little sad. On one hand, they
acknowledged that Close was very strong, and on the other hand, they felt
that the crappy players in their own competition zones weren’t good
enough.
But fortunately, it was just a showcase game. When the main competition
began, they wouldn’t make a joke of themselves like this anymore.
Reasonably speaking, since there was only FTW’s ‘infighting’ left to watch,
everyone could just turn off the live broadcast and stop watching.
But nobody turned it off. From all the venues to all the live broadcasting
platforms, tens of millions of people were all staring at this final battle.
Close vs I Like Close The Most.
This ID that hurt the eyes!
But they really wanted to watch…
When two all-rounder kings battled, what kind of tricks would they show
off?
They rubbed their hands in anticipation!
The China competition zone had already started making bets.
As many as 80% of the audience bet that Close would win, and only 20%
believed that Quiet could win, but these 20% were smiling happily. “I don’t
care. Quiet is so cute, I just want to give him money!”
There was also: “Q baby is so good, Mama just wants to spoil him!”
There was another strange scene going on in the Gossip Emperor’s live
broadcast.
All the CP sisters were immersed in shipping their CP, and after they filled
up the scrolling comments, a girl clapped her hands and spoke up, “This is
the battle to determine gong and shou!”
Someone immediately discovered it. “Sister, you know how to talk, speak
more!”
“This makes sense. I don’t care, whoever wins this game will be the gong.”
“Isn’t Q cub already acknowledged as the…”
“Quiet’s only 19! A little wolf dog. When he grows up…”
“I can’t, I can’t, the great demon king is too alpha-like. I can’t imagine him
being the shou…”
“Isn’t Quiet alpha-like? He left corpses everywhere in the Moonlight

Wetland, slaughtered mercilessly as he went on a killing spree across the
Central Zone, then clamored and shocked the whole world in the finals
circle. How could that not be alpha-like!”
Bai Cai’s head was covered with black lines as he watched the scrolling
comments. He really wanted to tell these little sisters, “Your God Q doesn’t
even know what it means to be a real man, like hell he’s a gong!”
There was only 180 seconds left on Sky Island’s Heart. Lu Feng and Wei
Xiao didn’t delay and started fighting right away.
One of them was in North America, and the other was in China. They both
sat on the high-profile arena platforms and came together to fight a
wonderful solo game in front of the global audience.
This was a solo that no one had ever seen before. It was also a first for the
two parties involved.
Four talents: shadow thief, blood warrior, immortal warlock, storm hunter.
Both of them managed to play out the effects of a group fight.
In fact, it didn’t matter who won or lost, and it didn’t matter who remained
standing at the end. At this moment, they were simply enjoying the fight.
Trying to savor the feeling of their blood boiling, they were only focused on
each other!
Lu Feng started with the immortal warlock, using connecting clouds like
floating clouds and flowing water. His graceful figure was like an immortal
warlock statue that walked down from the nine heavens, his inky black hair
swaying with the clouds. The special effects linked up the cloud marks, and
thousand layers of clouds was a moment of flowing light.
Wei Xiao was too familiar with Lu Feng, so familiar that he knew what he
would do through sheer instinct.
The storm hunter stepped lightly on raindrops and slipped away at an angle
that seemed incredible to the audience.
At the start, the commentators weren’t serious since the results for the game
had already been determined. It was originally a showcase game for
entertainment, and the rest of the game was even more of a ‘performance’.
However, they couldn’t help but take it seriously after the first round of
exchanges.
After seeing such wonderful operations, their professionalism didn’t allow

them to treat this fight so carelessly.
“Close’s thousand layers of clouds is very skilled. Elegant, with elements of

his own unique temperament.”
“The storm hunter made a quintessential dodge. They really live up to being
from the same team; they know each other very well.”
“Quiet switched talents!”
After using the storm hunter to change positions, Wei Xiao switched to the
blood warrior. His phantom charged towards the immortal warlock.
The immortal warlock had a period of no skills after the thousand layers of
clouds. Close, whose entire set of skills had just missed, would be in a very
dangerous situation if he became entangled with the phantom.
The commentators were very curious to know which talent Close would
switch to––
“Storm hunter? Will he use stepping on raindrops to fly up and avoid the
phantom’s charge?”
“The shadow thief works too. He can shadow attack directly and
counterattack against the blood warrior!”
They’d all guessed wrong. When Wei Xiao’s phantom charged over
suddenly and Lu Feng also switched to the blood warrior. Nobody could see
when he’d switched talents, but what smashed into the phantom was
another phantom!
Everyone at the scene was startled. “How did he do it???”
“I’m not in the same time and space plane as the great demon king, right?!”
Switching talents and tossing out phantoms instantly, their brains couldn’t
keep up with this kind of hand speed, okay?!
Someone disdained them. “He’s in North America. At the very least, we’re
not in the same time zone…”
The commentators were on fire. “Close is always able to surprise us. The
phantoms charged into each other, and Quiet’s attack was countered. At the
same time, because of the distance, his frozen state lasts for a shorter time!”
Once the blood warrior’s phantom was killed, the player would be left
frozen for a brief moment. The duration of this state depended on the
distance between the phantom and the player.
Wei Xiao had attacked first, and his phantom had flown over towards Lu
Feng. The distance between him and his phantom had to be longer than Lu
Feng’s, so he couldn’t move his body for 0.5 seconds.
On the other hand, Lu Feng practically didn’t have any freeze time because
of how close he was to his own phantom.
For ordinary players, this 0.5 second was meaningless, but for professional
players, it was already long enough to mean death.
Close used blood stab and blood cut, tossing them out at Wei Xiao
relentlessly.
On the China competition zone side, the camera switched to show Wei
Xiao.
The boy was sitting up straight, his neck pale and slender against his black
team uniform. His thin jaw was tensed up slightly, but his lips were curved,
and his eyes were full of joy.
There was no need for the commentators to say anything. Everyone who
saw this scene could sense his mood.
Happy.
HAPPY written out in capital letters!
This little lunatic.
Even Brother Big Mouth couldn’t help shouting at him.
Close’s skills were very accurate. Wei Xiao couldn’t escape, but… there
was no need to dodge.
The blood warrior’s ultimate move––birth of the blood demon!
The blood warrior who was taken over by the blood demon became
immune to all damage for two seconds.
Close’s skills, which couldn’t miss, became ineffective due to Wei Xiao’s
skill.
The audience’s blood was boiling as they watched. They just wanted to
quickly go back and watch the replay so that they could see what had
happened over the past few seconds over and over again a dozen times!
They also needed to slow down the replay, otherwise their eyes couldn’t
keep up at all!
Wei Xiao used up all of his blood warrior’s skills and switched talents
again.
When the hooded shadow thief landed, goosebumps came up all over the
audience’s skin. “It’s coming, it’s coming!”
“Light arcs, light arcs!”
“Eight light arcs? If all eight of them can hit, then Close won’t be able to
hold up.”
“Holy shit, Close switched talents too!”
“Two shadow thieves brushing out light arcs together?”
“Mama, if I can see two sets of nine light arcs at the same time, I’ll die with
no regrets!”
The Chinese fans were collectively high and excited. It didn’t matter if they
were fans or haters; at this moment, they were all staring at the screen, and
their hearts were filled with one sentence––
A peak level duel of peak level shadow thieves was too cool!
Ch169.2 - It turned out that Glory
could be so beautiful.
The two players in the finals circle didn’t disappoint anyone.
Wei Xiao attacked Lu Feng from behind, and Lu Feng used a sudden stab to
pull away. Strangely enough, both people stacked up a layer of marks at the
same time.
Nine light arcs required marks and damage. Everyone understood this truth,
but how exactly to put this into practice in the rapidly changing arena was
too difficult for them to solve!
The commentators spoke super quickly, and as their voices reached the
peak, the scene in the arena also became more and more white-hot.
Attack, dodge.
Skill release, resist.
The camera directors from the North American competition zone and the
China competition zone seemed to have the same mind as they
simultaneously aimed the cameras at the two players’ left hands.
Slender fingers, pale skin. They slid over the keyboard as though they were
using flash.
The clacking sound of the keyboard keys created a charming melody that
fell on the tip of tens of thousands of audience members’ hearts, making
their scalps go numb.
“Quiet used nine light arcs!”
“The two of them simultaneously…”

“That’s not right! Close’s damage isn’t only…”
A reddish glow suddenly rose up from the slender shadow thief’s body. The
people who understood, all got it at this time.
The godly special skill that Yan Jiang had picked up––fury.
This skill raised damage dealt by 80%.
No way…
In their lifetime, would they actually be able to…
… See ten light arcs!
Dazzling white light blew up the entire arena, followed by a rapid

contraction and expansion, like the whole universe had exploded. Colors
that were impossible to describe filled up the whole screen, and everyone
who saw this scene was left stunned.
It turned out that there were special effects for ten light arcs.
It turned out that the ten light arcs existed.
It turned out that Glory could be so beautiful.
Half a second after players all over the world held their breath, fierce
applause broke out in each competition zone!
It was too amazing.
This was a fantastic finish to the opening game!
Ten light arcs dispersed, leaving only one person standing alone in the
challenge arena.
The shadow thief was wearing his own championship skin, his brows and
eyes covered by a hood, leaving only his pale chin and the corners of his
mouth visible.
FTW.Close.
––The king of the night who brought about infinite glory.
System announcement: FTW.Close holds Sky Island’s Heart. Countdown:

10 seconds.
These ten seconds belonged to Close, belonged to FTW, and belonged to

the China competition zone!
10, 9, 8, 7…
The Sky Island of Light condensed into a spark of light, the dazzling glow
coating the shadow thief’s body in a layer of gold.
Sky Island’s Heart hovered in front of him, the gorgeous colors like a
miniature version of the ten light arcs.
It turned gently, waiting for its new owner.
The shadow thief reached out a hand and held Sky Island’s Heart between
his slender fingers encased in black gloves.
Light suddenly rose up, and the scene on the screen changed.
Sky Island looked completely different. All the ancient fierce beasts that
had previously wandered outside the island had now come onto the island
The giant kun that was as vast as the sea, the tiger that was as majestic as
the mountains, the roc that could cover the sun and moon with its wings…
Such a magnificent scene all revolved around the only person in the center
of the island.
Dragons and tigers roared.
The sound waves gained substance and caused the vegetation to shake.
Sky Island’s Heart integrated into the palm of his hand. The one who’d
survived was the real owner of Sky Island.
Two lines of text popped up on the screen:
Glory’s new game mode: Sky Island Big Brawl.
Welcome to the battle.
The opening game was over.
Wei Xiao, who was in the field of death, sucked in a gentle breath. “Cool!”
In fact, in the last scene, regardless of whether it was nine light arcs or ten
light arcs, the amount of damage dealt had already overflowed.
As long as anyone was hit with it, the damage from eight light arcs was
already enough to kill someone.
Why had Wei Xiao died, but Lu Feng had remained standing?
It wasn’t due to the blood warrior’s ultimate move, and it wasn’t because of
the invincible light shield that was off cooldown. It also wasn’t the fatal
immunity equipment that ADC talents could buy.
Because these active skills were all useless when using light arcs.
The reason why Lu Feng remained standing at the end was due to the
additional effect granted by brushing out ten light arcs: The player couldn’t
be targeted.
Close, who’d initiated ten light arcs, couldn’t be targeted, and therefore
couldn’t be attacked by any skill.
But Quiet, who’d only managed nine light arcs, had had his health emptied
out by the ten light arcs.
Wei Xiao tried to hold back, but he ultimately couldn’t endure it and started
typing in the field of death, “Laozi’s really badass. Dying to ten light arcs,
I’m the only one who has experienced it!”
This proud tone, these ostentatious words. Other than those who couldn’t
understand the language, everyone else: “……………….”
Get the hell out, you little lunatic!
Fortunately, the field of death disappeared after the game ended, and
everyone didn’t have to be tormented like this any further.
At this point, the Sky Island Big Brawl’s opening game came to an end.
The organizers were so happy they were going crazy.
––These special effects were absolutely amazing.
The game developers were also happy enough to explode.
––They hadn’t stayed up all night and worked so desperately to finish up

the ten light arcs special effects in vain. Close had really managed to make
use of fury and launch ten light arcs!
Although Close only increased the damage ratio by 20%, it had to be

known that nine light arcs was already the limit for human beings. Breaking
through by another percent was already an unimaginable breakthrough, let
alone adding 20% in one go.
Inhuman!
Please put ‘Close is inhuman’ into the code!
Next up was the interview segment that everyone was looking forward to.
Beneath the stage, Chen Feng and Xiang Liu’s hearts both thumped hard.
They looked at each other and saw two words in each other’s eyes: “Not
good.”
It wasn’t just the two of them. Bai Cai, who was still on his live broadcast,
also sucked in a breath.
Oh no!
Little Lunatic Wei, who nobody was managing, was going to go overboard
with his flaunting in front of the whole world!
There were a whole pile of star players on the stage who would definitely
be interviewed one by one, but there was also a sequence to follow.
The results had already come out, and the second place in the world was
also on the stage. They couldn’t just skip his interview.
After the game ended, everyone took off their headsets. Someone pushed
Brother Sleep lightly, and he opened his eyes and blinked hazily.
The big brawl had lasted for an hour and a half, and Asleep had slept for
more than half of it.
Asleep couldn’t be blamed for this; he’d been unlucky and met Marshal at
the start of the game. He couldn’t be blamed for dying in the Battlesong
Plains.
Relatively speaking, the cameras hadn’t given the Battlesong Plains much
attention. It wasn’t because the fighting wasn’t fierce there, but rather
because it had been too fierce.
It had been too intense, with a whole pile of people dying every minute.
In the other zones, those in the Thousand Needle Forest could hide and
dodge, those in the Falling Star Lake could dive underwater, those in the
Moonlight Wetland could climb over the swamps, and those in Shining
Gold Temple could run through the maze (Kim Sung-hyun: Heh!) … In
short, they all had their own specialties and were filled with suspense.
In the Battlesong Plains, there was only fighting.
––Killing a man in ten steps, thousands of miles without a trace.
The Battlesong Plains had tried its best to interpret this chivalrous line from
the poet-immortal’s Ode to Gallantry.
Asleep had died early, and he couldn’t watch the game from the field of
death.
He couldn’t really participate in everyone’s conversation, and after the host

asked him two questions, his third reply was, “Zzz…..”
The host: “……” Alright then, sweet dreams!
The first person to be interviewed was naturally Wei Xiao. This was
something that Chen Feng and Xiang Liu couldn’t prevent even if they were
on the stage.
This wasn’t a team competition. He was the only second place player in the
big brawl, and nobody could go up to replace him.
The host was a soft and cute girl who showed two dimples when she
smiled. She was very sweet. “Hello, God Q.”
Wei Xiao smiled as well. He had red lips and white teeth, and his eyes
curved with his smile. He had natural curves under his eyes that made him
very likeable. “Hello.”
The host: “!” He was too good looking!
Many people had been attracted by Wei Xiao’s smile. Girls screamed, and
even the straight men were sour. “One look is enough to see that he’s a little
scum man who cheats people’s hearts!”
That really was Wei Little Xiao’s wish.
Whether or not he was a scum man, Close understood best.
The host was shaken by his smile and became a little careless. She asked
unwittingly, “The first place in this performance competition went to Close.
As a fellow member of FTW, how would you evaluate God Lu?”
As soon as this question came out, Chen Feng, Xiang Liu, and Brother Cai:
“……”
The two who were at the scene wanted to run, and the one who was
watching the live broadcast wanted to go offline to preserve his life.
But Wei Little Xiao didn’t give them the chance. His words were very
smooth, “God Lu? He has great skills, is very strong, and his most heaven-
defying feature is his super endurance.”
Host: “…………”
There were nearly ten thousand people in the arena. They all burst out
laughing.
Chen Feng and Xiang Liu: To hell with running, is there room for us to hide
under the seats?!
Bai Cai lifted a hand up to his forehead, covering his eyes and blocking his
ears: Wei Little Xiao, shut up!
The host was startled back into awareness. This wasn’t right, how come this
was developing in a direction that would get the live broadcast banned? She
laughed dryly and cast around for a topic, “God Q’s evaluation is very
unique.”
Wei Xiao smiled like a fox. “Unique? It’s very popular. Take a look at the
IDs of our lucky players for this game.”
Close Has Great Skills had black lines all over his head.
Close Is Very Strong just wanted to die.
Close Has Super Endurance was currently going through the lowest point in
his life.
The host couldn’t laugh anymore. She just wanted to end this conversation.
As a result, Quiet took the initiative to send her a topic, “Do you want to
know who these IDs belong to?”
Host: “……”
The director held up a message board––Ask.
The host steeled herself and asked, “I heard that these IDs are all yours?”
Everyone had seen that statement. At the beginning, they hadn’t believed it,
but now…
Was there anything that this man who had no moral integrity and only super
strength wouldn’t do?
Unexpectedly, Wei Xiao sent over a few light and airy words, “Take a
guess?”
The national audience: “………………”
To hell with guessing! It’s you, there’s no doubt about it!
Brother Cai’s brain hurt as he looked at screen after screen of scrolling

comments: Nobody believed it when he issued the original statement; now
that Little Lunatic Wei was acting coy, everyone believed it!
Fellow audience friends, don’t let this guy lead you all around by the nose!
The Gossip Emperor was very anxious. He felt a huge headache for these
fans, and was even more worried about FTW’s future!
He lay back in his chair and sighed in his heart. “Captain, please come back
soon…”
Except for the great demon king, who else could tame this little beast?!
xiin: satisfied.
Ch170.1 - 52 hours, 59 minutes, 57
seconds.
The audience was very satisfied with the opening game.
Many people sighed emotionally as they left the scene. “How great would it
be if this were the globals!”
Yeah, if this was a normal competition, and if this was the stage of the
global finals, how crazy would the China competition zone that had won the
championship be?
FTW was the old Glory overlord who’d been declining for three years. If
they could bring out their old brilliance again, not just the old fans, but even
new fans would all be filled with emotion and burst into tears.
“Don’t panic! Close is coming back soon, and Quiet is so great. This year
can’t be a bad year!”
“I want to watch them win…”
“I want to see them hammer the whole world and take the world cup that
belongs to the China competition zone!”
Just saying that was enough to make some people’s eyes grow red.
It had been a full three years of their hopes, would they get what they
wanted this year?
While the fans were overwhelmed with emotion, one of the parties involved
was nestling in the van. His head was drooping slightly, and the ends of his
hair brushed against the back of his neck; the contrast between the hair and
the color of his skin made it appear even paler than the light outside.
He was holding his cell phone, and the faint light from the screen
illuminated the smile at the corner of his lips. “Captain, those ten light arcs
were too handsome!”
“Captain~ Why are you so amazing!”
“Ahh, I like you a little more every day/”
“Oh, that’s not right, I love you a little more every day.”
“I miss you…”
Amidst Wei Little Xiao’s spoilt act that was filling up the screen like
scrolling comments, Lu Feng only used four words to make him blush and
his heart pound, “I miss you too.”
Wei Xiao’s fingers trembled. He wished he could just paste his cell phone
against his heart, as though it could allow the other party to hear his
heartbeat.
There weren’t many people in the car. It was just Chen Feng and Xiang Liu,
and these two didn’t want to turn around at all, not wanting to eat any dog
food.
The opening game had been a great success, and there were corresponding
interviews in each competition zone.
The South Korean competition zone was a little bit downcast. The host
looked at the frosty cold God Kim and was very cautious with his
questions, “The Temple…”
Kim Sung-hyun sneered.
The host felt a dark cloud hovering over their head and quickly switched
topics.
Unexpectedly, Kim Sung-hyun spoke himself, “I will participate in this

year’s single player competition. Thank you everyone for your love and
attention.”
This was no different from dropping a declaration of war.
This performance competition had really aggravated Kim Sung-hyun. First,

the Shining Gold Temple had abused him until he ended up running around
like a headless fly, and then he’d been the first one to fall in the finals circle
(melon-seed eating anchor: am I not a person?!), and he’d also suffered Old
Shit’s cold cynicism in the field of death…
One thing after another stacked up, leaving our Proud Flower Kim with no
way to vent!
He had to get even. He had to beat up Close in the global competition, kick
Old Dog Yuan flying, oh, and he would also shoot Little Lunatic Wei full of
enough holes that he’d turn into a sieve!
This mood remained until he went off stage, and Li Heran handed him an
apple.
Biting into the crunchiness calmed Kim Sung-hyun’s mood down slightly.
“Brother, let’s go over the information for the big brawl when we get back.”
Li Heran: “Mm.”
Kim Sung-hyun took a light breath. He didn’t need to say the words out
loud, but he believed that Li Heran understood.
The waves at the back were too fierce; if the waves at the front didn’t try
their best, they may really end up dead on the beach.
The interviews in the European competition zone were quite troublesome.
The two who had the best results had already left the stage, arrogantly
paying no heed to anyone else.
Their interview?
Yan Jiang: “……” There was nothing to say.

Xie He: “I lost.” The implication behind the words was, there was no need
to interview, since he hadn’t gotten first place.
The two of them didn’t look at each other any more than necessary before
each returning to their own van to head back to their own places.
Xie He had come with his coach, an extremely rarely seen woman in the
professional arena.
Haley wasn’t wearing EVE’s uniform. She was dressed in a Chanel dress
that outlined her graceful and sexy figure. Her curled hair drifted down her
back, and her red lips parted as she fluently spoke in Chinese, “Wei Xiao,
FTW’s new jungler. Two years ago, he became famous overnight in the
China competition zone’s youth training camp and was then noticed by
Close. He left before signing the contract, then left the professional circle
for two years, only returning at the start of the year. In winter training
camp…”
She steadily explained Wei Xiao’s details clearly and thoroughly, even
including his achievements in the winter training camp.
Xie He listened without saying a word. When she was done, he leaned back
against the seat.
Haley: “In terms of personal strength, FTW has…”
Xie He picked up the thread of the conversation. “Another Close?”
Haley: “Yes.”
Xie He seldom smiled. Normally, his kindest expression was just a hint of
warmth in his eyes. But at this moment, the corners of his mouth were
raised, and his eyes were fierce. “He isn’t Close.”
The atmosphere at Y1 was even lower than that of EVE.
Yan Jiang didn’t say a single word on the way back, and the manager didn’t
dare to ask anything. He could only sit honestly at the front of the van,
anxious and nervous.
Damn it!
What kind of stupid competition system was this!
What a bullshit opening game!
The bastard competition committee was inhuman!
Had the competition committee ever considered their feelings when they
used Yan Jiang for entertainment!
It clearly wasn’t a mode that was suited for support player participation, but
they insisted on having Yan Jiang go.
Great…
Looking at what Yan Jiang had experienced throughout the entire opening
game, the manager had no way to imagine how the person behind him felt.
This man had always had an unpredictable character. Now…
Ah, how was he supposed to coax him?!
Yan Jiang finally spoke his first sentence since the end of the opening game
when they reached the base, “Help me look for something.”
With Y1’s manager’s current mood, he wished he could pluck both the stars
and the moon out of the sky for him. “Tell me.”
Yan Jiang: “All of Quiet’s game replays.”
The manager: “……”
Yan Jiang had already headed towards the individual training rooms.
By the time Wei Xiao returned to the base, it was already 12PM. Lu Feng
had also returned to the hotel.
How could sending text messages be enough? Wei Xiao gave him a voice
call after washing up.
The call had just gone through when Wei Xiao started speaking,
“Congratulations to Close, the winner of the opening game championship!”
Lu Feng looked at the smiling eyes and face on his cell phone screen, and
his own mouth unconsciously curved up as well. “Thanks to you.”
Wei Xiao wasn’t about to claim credit. “Even without Captain Yan’s godly
special skill, I still wouldn’t be able to win against you.”
This was the truth.
The two of them soloed together every day and knew the win rate in their
own minds.
How could Wei Xiao match up to Close, who’d already experienced three
seasons and won three consecutive world championships?
What’s more, Close had gotten many rewards for killing so much during the
opening game.
Wei Xiao asked, “What special skill did you get for your first kill?”
Lu Feng had only used fury when the two of them soloed against each
other. He hadn’t used a single other special skill.
Lu Feng told him, “Enchant.”
Wei Xiao was surprised, “You didn’t make use of such a powerful control
skill?”
The skill ‘Enchant’ was very powerful. Although the hook was very thin
and placed high demands on the player’s accuracy, Lu Feng was an all-
rounder king and had really practiced using hooks before. It was impossible
for him to hit 100% of the time, but he could achieve an effect similar to a
hack using his amazing prediction ability.
Once the skill was aimed accurately, not only could it pull someone over to
themselves, it would also send them into a daze for one second.
If Lu Feng used it, Wei Xiao wouldn’t even have had a chance to brush up
his light arcs.
Lu Feng: “There was no need.”
Wei Xiao tsked. “Captain, are you provoking me and saying I’m crappy?”
Lu Feng laughed quietly and coaxed him, “No.”
Wei Xiao complained and muttered, “Then why didn’t you use it?”
Lu Feng: “When I’m with you, how could there be any need to use
enchant?” Double entendre.
Half a second later, he came back to his senses, “F*ck!”
His face heated. Wei Xiao’s heart jumped straight up with this round of
flirting.
However, Wei Little Xiao wasn’t called ‘little beast’ for nothing. He
quickly started messing around in return. “Are you saying that I’ve made
you so obsessed you’ve lost yourself?”
“So that when you see me, it’s like you’ve been enchanted?”
“Are you saying that you getting together with me…”
Lu Feng couldn’t continue to listen any longer. He said directly, “Yes.”
Wei Xiao’s tail flipped up even higher towards the sky. “Yes what?”
By the time Lu Feng repeated it word for word, Wei Xiao’s ears were numb,
and he felt incredibly bashful. “Captain…”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “I’m hard.”
There was still one last game left in the regular season, which was
scheduled for Thursday.
Lu Feng’s treatment ended on the same day. He’d already booked his return
ticket.
Wei Xiao’s heart had been drifting happily over the past few days. When he
saw Bai Cai, he opened his mouth to say, “There are still 52 hours.”
Bai Cai: “Ah?”
Wei Xiao: “52 hours, 59 minutes, 57 seconds.”
Bai Cai: “???”
Wei Xiao: “52 hours, 59 minutes, 53 seconds.”
Bai Cai: “What are you acting crazy about now?”
Wei Xiao said darkly, “There’s still 52 hours, 59 minutes, and 30 seconds
before the Captain comes back.”
Bai Cai: “……………………”
Can you f*cking act like a person?!
Wei Xiao continued to count quietly, and Bai Cai couldn’t listen on
anymore. “Wake up! Thursday’s RR game is really important!”
Wei Xiao: “Oh, 52 hours, 58 minutes…”
Bai Cai wished he could hammer him on the head. “Do you want to get first
place in the group or not!”
Wei Xiao: “52 hours, 5… Of course we have to get first place.”
Wei Xiao: “First place in the group, first place in the domestic competition,
first place in the global competition. Our captain will take countless first
places! Well, 52 hours, 57…”
Bai Cai didn’t give him any chance to keep counting. He interrupted him,
“Don’t focus on how we have one more point than RR does. If we lose this
game, we’ll draw even with RR!”
“If the game points are the same, they’ll look at net points. Old Wei, wake
up, we only have one more point than RR. Even if we lose 2:1, we’ll be
reduced to second place!”
Brother Cai had circled around the topic, but in fact, one only needed to
look at the rankings to understand.
FTW had maintained their first place position in the group for the regular
season, but they weren’t far ahead from the pack.
RR was very fierce, biting at their heels in second place, wanting to turn the
tables and screw them over.
At this time, there was a one point difference in their total points, and there
was also only a one point difference in their net points.
Tomorrow’s game was a decisive battle.
If FTW won, they would be at the top with a 2 point margin.
If RR won, they would really be like serfs overthrowing their lords,

pressing FTW down into second place for the regular season.
So, the final regular season game between FTW and RR was very
important.
Primarily, it was very important for the Wei Xiao who liked to issue fierce
challenges.
In fact, getting first or second in the group wasn’t very important, because
they were all winners and would be treated almost the same way in the
playoffs.
Wei Xiao stopped counting down.
Bai Cai was relieved. “Prepare for the fight, and use first place to welcome
the captain back to the team.”
Wei Xiao’s heart was moved. “Alright then, I’ll start counting again after
the game.”
Bai Cai: “……………….” To hell with your counting!

Ch170.2 - Lu Feng: I'm back.
The opening game was over. Fu Li sent Wei Xiao a message the next day,
“When the big brawl replay is released, I’ll sort out the data and send it
over to you.”
Wei Xiao replied, “No rush, no rush, I believe Captain Fu.”
Fu Li: “……” Ha. If you really believed me, you wouldn’t have taken a
screenshot!
A big brawl with 100 people fighting had to be different from an ordinary
team competition.
The multiview video broadcast had to be integrated together, and the game
organizers had to put together a collection of some of the most eye-catching
operations in order to draw another round of traffic, so the teams that
wanted to do replay reviews would have to wait a few days.
Wei Xiao wasn’t in a hurry. He and Lu Feng had already agreed to watch
the replay together after he came back.
When it came to ten light arcs and other such things, he wanted to praise Lu
Feng about it again, to his face!
Obviously Wei Little Xiao had already completely forgotten about what had
happened in the Moonlight Wetland.
At 8PM on Thursday night, the venue for the competition filled up early.
The residual enthusiasm from the opening game was still there, and
everyone was very excited to see FTW. They had stopped being so worried
about whether or not Close was there or not a long time ago.
FTW games?
They came to watch Quiet go wild!
Wei Xiao’s original popularity hadn’t been low, and now, there were even
more support groups. Light signs were everywhere, and there were a lot of
love confessions.
The financing side saw the potential for money, and most of the FTW fan
merchandise sold outside was related to Quiet.
Due to his fierce words during the opening game, his fans had given him a
new favorite nickname––the wolfish and tiger-like Little Lunatic Wei.
There was a group of fans who’d made a very cute version of it; the front
was a chibi version of Wei Xiao, with tiger ears and big cat paws, howling
and whining fiercely, and the back was a chibi version of him with a big,
wagging gray wolf tail that was about to shake its way up to the sky!
It was both a tiger and a wolf, very thoughtful.
There were many Q fangirls with tiger ears that would light up when they
shook their heads, making a large, illuminated ‘Q’ appear over their heads.
It was very cute.
Unfortunately, Wei Xiao was a little far away from the audience and
couldn’t see it clearly.
FTW and RR were old rivals. They didn’t bother with polite words when
they met. They just had to fight and be done with it.
On FTW’s side, Wei Xiao dropped a series of fierce words. Yep, it was for
the three little ones.
“This is the last game of our regular season.”
Little Ning: “Yes, yes, yes.”
Wei Xiao: “Do you know what this means?”

Brother Cai really wanted to roll his eyes.
Little Ning rushed to answer first, “First place in the group!”
Wei Xiao nodded, “And?”
Little Ning cheered, “The captain is coming back!”
Grandmaster Wei’s mouth curved. “Yes, and?”
Little Ning: “???” He was a little stuck.
Wei Xiao looked at Yue Wenle, who was quietly gnawing on chips to the
side. “You answer.”
Old Yue: “……”
Wei Xiao shot Bai Cai a glance. Bai Cai felt the threat and acted as though
he would snatch away the chips, causing Yue Wenle to speak up
immediately, “Last time, we lost to RR, so this time, we can’t lose!”
Wei Xiao nodded, but he still continued asking, “And?”
What else could there be?
Even Bai Cai was a little confused at this time.
Was there any other meaning to this game?
The last game in the regular season. They’d take first place in their group if
they won, and they could stand up straight and puff up their chests when
they welcomed their captain back to the team, and get even for past
regrets…
What else was there besides all that?
His teammates were all dazed. Quiet sighed.
Wei Xiao highlighted the key point. “This is Brother Tang’s last game.”
This one sentence shocked the three little ones.
Chen Feng and Tang Chen, who’d just arrived at the entrance of the lounge,
stopped walking.
Wei Xiao’s attitude was serious for once, and his words went straight to the
softest place in people’s hearts, “Brother Tang has persisted for us for so
long, so this game is one that we must win.”
The three little ones had all their passion inspired, “We must win!”
“We have to win beautifully!”
“Yes, we have to make it a wonderful win.”
“We can’t let Brother Tang have any regrets!”
“Uh-huh! No regrets!”
The steadfast Tang Chen, who was still standing outside, felt his eyes heat
up.
Chen Feng’s heart also felt a little sore when he heard this.
Wei Xiao was the craziest player he’d ever met, but he was also the softest
player he’d ever met.
He was such a strange child, it was no wonder Lu Feng kept him at the tip
of his heart.
When they went up onto the court, even the audience could feel FTW’s
momentum.
The commentators also said, “It’s the last game. It seems that FTW places a
lot of importance on winning this game.”
“Close is about to return. They must want to present their captain with a
perfect result.”
“Of course, RR isn’t weak either. It seems that it will be a tough fight
tonight.”
“Let’s see who the title of first place in the group will go to!”
At the start of the game, RR instantly banned the shadow thief, and FTW
fought tooth for tooth, banning the immortal warlock.
Tang Chen, who never spoke during the BP segment, spoke up, “Get me the
space-time knight.”
FTW’s four little ones were stunned for a moment.
Chen Feng laughed briefly. “Okay.”
Wei Xiao was immediately fired up. “I’ll take the berserker thief!”
Ning Zhehan sat up straight as well. “Spirit mage!”
Yue Wenle: “Frost hunter.”
Brother Cai took a tanky support. “Giant shaman.”
Chen Feng: “You must be dreaming. We’ll see what RR takes.”
It was unknown if RR was taking them lightly, or if they hadn’t expected

FTW to take the space-time knight again, so they actually released quite a
few of the positions.
At the end of the day, except for Brother Cai who switched to the earth
priest, everyone else got what they wanted.
The space-time knight…
This talent, which had helped FTW make a come-back and turn things
around during the regular season, stunned the audience for half a second
when it appeared.
Immediately after, rounds of applause burst out as everyone understood.

The commentator woke up as well, “This game…”
This game was God Tang’s curtain call.
This game would be Tang Chen’s last battle. Tang Chen, who’d guarded
FTW during all its ups and downs.
Tang Chen, who’d witnessed the age of the Team of Gods and also
experienced FTW’s lowest point. He’d held the world championship cup
three years ago and had also seen the empty ruins of FTW.
He wasn’t as dazzling as Close nor was he a mastermind like Chen Feng.

He was the substitute player in the Team of Gods who’d had no chance to
play, and he was the solid support for the new FTW. He was the veteran
who would retire after winning the domestic championship due to his
declining state, and he was also the Brother Tang who supported four little
ones in the face of danger after Close left the team!
The new FTW––
There were the twin stars, Close and Quiet.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle, who were on the rise.
Bai Cai, who’d regained his enthusiasm and was holding up the support
beam.
Only Tang Chen had been ignored, forgotten and overlooked by many
people.
But his teammates remembered.
All he’d done, everything he’d sacrificed, and all of his sweat had been
imprinted onto FTW’s team emblem.
The black and white double swords crossed where the words FTW was
carved out in the center.
For the win.

For the sake of victory, for the sake of everyone’s victory!
In this game, FTW played extremely well.
Wei Xiao’s berserker thief led the rhythm of the game up to the heavens,
and Ning Zhehan changed up his old timid style with a spirit mage that was
both treacherous and unpredictable, making Moonlit’s nerves tense up. Bai
Cai and Yue Wenle also played out a perfect cooperation on the bottom
lane. The developed frost hunter became the core of the team in the later
stages.
This time, Tang Chen’s space-time knight didn’t have to resurrect four dead
teammates on the spot like he’d done when they played against 3U.
Because it wasn’t necessary.
His teammates wouldn’t fall. They were fighting for him.
His teammates used their strength to tell him: We can do it, we’re able to do
it, please rest assured.
The game was over.
FTW won against RR with an absolutely crushing score.
When he took off the headset, the rims of Tang Chen’s eyes were red.
Every member of the audience who saw this scene also felt their eyes grow
red with emotion. The old fans who’d followed FTW all the way to the
present even started crying directly.
Until someone yelled, “Don’t cry, Brother Tang! FTW’s future is

promising!”
After that, someone followed suit and yelled, “Yeah, FTW’s future is
promising!”
After three years of wind and rain, new branches had emerged from the
empty ruins.
The current FTW really had a promising future.
Lu Feng, who’d finished packing up, turned off the live broadcast and sent
out a Weibo post––
I’m back.
Ch171.1 - Were all people who were
in love so crazy or was this person
in front of him just a special case?
The regular season came to an end, and the rankings for the groups came
out.
The four shortlisted teams from Group A were FTW, RR, 778, and GOQ.
The four teams from Group B were 3U, TPT, SCT, and Wind.
The first place from the two groups were FTW and 3U, and there was no
major suspense about the results.
RR was two points behind and ranked second this time. It was very
unfortunate, and RR fans were so heartbroken that they cried all night, until
they were pacified by Money the next day.
What divine operations did he use?
Ha-ha, what else could Money do except arrange for a draw?
They’d lost the game, but it didn’t prevent Money from spoiling his fans. It
just happened to be close to 520, so he directly drew 520 people to receive
520 yuan red packets.
TPT had also come second, but TPT fans were much calmer.
This was TTP’s style. The regular season was their stage for training and
data collection. It was only during the playoffs that they would really exert
themselves, so getting second place was already very good. Tempering
themselves and gaining more experience would be beneficial to them for
the next game.
The team that had surprised others the most was GOQ. How had this third
rate team gotten into the playoffs? This was a mystery to many members of
the audience…
This was a team who’d fallen into the relegation group last year. How had
they made such a major comeback?
They’d clearly been beaten up like dogs by FTW at the start of the regular
season, and it was rumored that their mid-laner, jungler, and support had all
cried their hearts out after returning to their base, shouting that they would
never play professionally again in this lifetime. How come they’d made
such great progress after crying? Didn’t they decide not to play
professionally anymore? Are you professional players all so casual with
your words? (Quiet glares dangerously).
Compared with the long and bumpy regular season, the playoffs were much
simpler. The eight teams were divided into winners and losers.
The winner group consisted of the first two teams from each group, and the
loser group was the remaining two teams from each group.
The playoffs were held in a brutal elimination mode: eight into four, four
into two, and finally, the national finals.
The advantage of being in the winner group was that the first place from the
group would automatically be matched with the fourth place from the
group, while the second in the group would be automatically matched with
third place. There was no need to draw lots.
For example, FTW’s first game in the playoffs would be against GOQ.
For most people, FTW’s position in the top four was stable.
Of course, what did the top four amount to? They had to win the
championship!
There was a week-long off-season period at the end of the regular season,
so, that night, Chen Feng lifted the ban on alcohol, and everyone could
drink a little.
Tang Chen’s emotions were stirred up; how could he just drink a little?
After chugging down three beers in a row, he began to go around hugging
people and speaking from his heart.
Brother Tang hugged Chen Feng. “Old Chen, I’m so happy, I’m so happy I
can’t even speak.”
Chen Feng was super disgusted. “You’ve said enough, shut up!”
After being pushed away by Chen Feng, Brother Tang went to hug the four
little ones.
Yue Wenle was dazed. After Brother Tang finished speaking, he reluctantly
offered him a chip. “Want chips?”
Brother Tang bit into the potato chip. “Yes! I’ll eat whatever Lele gives
me.”
Brother Tang then went on to hug Little Ning.
Little Ning was thin and small. He looked even more like a baby chick after
being hugged by the burly Brother Tang. “Brother-Brother Tang…”
Who would’ve dared to think that a drunk Tang Chen would be like this?
“What’s the matter with you? Why are you acting like a wronged daughter-
in-law? Who bullied you? Tell me, big brother will help you…”
Little Ning complained quietly, “Brother Tang, it’s you… you nearly
strangled me…”
Bai Cai was scared of being next and left first. Unfortunately, as soon as he
went outside, the first thing he saw was a certain person surnamed Wei,
holding his cell phone in his hand and smiling broadly.
Brother Cai: “……” Not good. He might as well go back to the room and
let Brother Tang forcibly hug him!
Wei Xiao’s eyes were sharp and noticed him right away. He didn’t give him
a chance to run. “Come here, come here, come see if our captain is
handsome or not.”
Bai Cai: “???”
Wei Xiao shoved his cell phone in front of his face. “Captain Yuan’s really
good at taking photos.”
Brother Cai saw the photo. The screen showed a photo of the airport.
Their captain was wearing a simple black t-shirt with plain trousers, and his
pair of long legs occupied over half the screen. His left hand was pulling an
old dark brown suitcase with a black bag placed on top of it. The white
headphones cable snaked up along his waist, crossing his pale neck and
hanging gently on his ears.
Brother Cai tsked.
Wei Xiao asked, “Handsome or not!?”
Brother Cai had experienced many battles. “To my straight-man eyes, he’s
handsome.”
Brother Cai’s heart thumped: Was that wrong? This was a perfect answer!
Little Lunatic Wei, can you still pick out a problem with this?!
Wei Xiao really did manage to pick out a problem. “Just handsome? This is
invincibly, explosively handsome, like spiraling up into the sky, okay!”
Bai Cai: “…………” Go to hell ahhhhh!
Wei Xiao looked at the photo again for a while and suddenly, started
hearing alarm bells ring. “Say, Yuan Ze is a straight man. How was he able
to grasp the angle so well?”
Wei Xiao was sour. “Is my captain so handsome even in Old Dog Yuan’s
eyes?”
Bai Cai regretted it, he regretted it to death. Why had he disdained Brother
Tang’s hug? Compared with staying inside, going outside was like hell on
earth!
“You should think about it another way,” Bai Cai was really a genius. “It’s
not that the captain looks handsome in Captain Yuan’s eyes, but that the
captain is really too handsome.”
Wei Xiao thought about it and realized, “So, Captain Yuan only managed to
photograph one-tenth of the captain’s handsomeness?”
Wei Xiao became happier. “What can I do? Even one tenth of the captain’s
handsomeness is so handsome!”
Wei Xiao jabbed at him with an elbow and said delightedly, “Old Bai, you
really know how to talk, talk more.”
Bai Cai: No… I don’t know how to talk… I’m mute!
Close was on the way back.
It took 12 to 13 hours to get to the capital from John F. Kennedy

International Airport.
In these dozen or so hours, every second was like a year for Wei Xiao.
The regular season was over, their team had won first place in the group,
and their captain’s shoulder had basically recovered (the follow-up
rehabilitation physiotherapy could be completed in China).
Wei Xiao’s nerves relaxed, and he only felt that time passed even more
slowly.
He looked at his watch every three seconds and felt restless.
Bai Cai couldn’t watch on anymore. “Come on, big brother will accompany
you to rank for points.”
Wei Xiao: “Oh.”
When they logged into the game and it was time to input his password, Wei
Little Xiao, “Um…”
Bai Cai: “Where are you?”
Wei Xiao turned his head to look at him. “What’s my account password?”
Bai Cai: “……………………”
Are you so out of it you’re f*cking losing your mind?!
Wei Xiao was in the training room. He naturally felt embarrassed to say
these words out loud.
Little Ning stuck his head over. “What’s wrong, Brother Xiao?”
Little Ning looked at him.
Wei Xiao sighed heavily. “I’m sick.”
Brother Cai’s mouth twitched.
Little Ning: “Ah? How’d you get sick? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Wei Xiao shook his head. “No, I’ll be fine tomorrow.”

Little Ning didn’t understand. “What kind of illness is that?” It sounded so
strange.
Wei Xiao waved his hand and didn’t say much else. “It’s okay, go and
play.”
Then, he propped his cheek against his hand and fell into a daze.
Bai Cai had been poisoned too deeply. His brain actually automatically
played back Wei Xiao’s voice, “… Missing someone is a type of illness.”
Goosebumps rose on his arms. Brother Cai was going to go solo queue
now!
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Brother Tang was so drunk that he passed out, asleep and oblivious to
everything. Bai Cai could only regret that he hadn’t also gotten himself
drunk.
After eating dinner, they wasted two or three hours in the training room.
After returning back to his own room, Bai Cai started to feel sleepy. He
finished taking a bath, put on his pajamas, and lay down on his new 2998
yuan Tencel mattress…
Bang, bang, bang!
Bai Cai placed his hands on his belly and lay there like a priest, but his
mood was very irritable.
Bang, bang, bang!
Bai Cai closed his eyes.
Bang, bang, bang!
Bai Cai ignored it.
Wei Xiao: “Brother Cai……”

This pitiful voice rang out, and Brother Cai couldn’t hold on.
He took a deep breath and got out of bed to open the door. “What!”
Naturally, Wei Little Xiao was the one standing outside. Oh… and the
ravaged and loveless Brother Soy.
Wei Xiao hugged Big Soybean, and it was unknown what Brother Soy had
gone through, but it looked like it hadn’t been easy. It howled as soon as it
saw Uncle Cai.
Brother Cai hissed and snatched Soybean to his side. “What are you
bullying Soy-soy for.”
This call of ‘Soy-soy’ made goosebumps break out all over Wei Xiao’s
skin. “You’re really disgusting.”
Bai Cai patted Brother Soy on the forehead and coaxed it, “Be good, sleep
with uncle tonight.”
Brother Soy whined, huffed, and butted him with its head.
Wei Xiao shuddered. “Are you two indulging in a human-beast love?”
Bai Cai rolled his eyes at him. “Back at you.”
Wei Xiao exploded. “Bai Cai, are you looking to die? The captain…”
Bai Cai interrupted him, “The captain is the human, you’re the beast.”
For a moment, he found it a little difficult to refute!
Since the door had already been opened, it was impossible for the sleepless
Wei Xiao to go back.
He squeezed out the words, “Old Bai, I can’t sleep.”

Bai Cai: “So you messed with Brother Soy instead?”
Wei Xiao glared at Brother Soy. “It insisted on playing with me!”
Brother Soy lay down on Brother Cai’s expensive sheets, its big eyes filled
with as much grievance as it could muster.
Bai Cai sighed. He accepted his fate.
Even the energetic husky known for its ability to demolish things was
unable to keep Wei Xiao entertained. That was enough to see how crazy this
fellow was being!
“The captain will be home in seven hours.”
Wei Xiao sighed. “There are still seven hours to go!”
Bai Cai: “You two have already endured it for two and a half months!
Wei Xiao said darkly, “It’s been 75 days and eight hours.”
Bai Cai: “………………”
Were all people who were in love so crazy or was this person in front of
him just a special case?
Ch171.2 - Will today’s God Q act
like a person?
Wei Xiao couldn’t sleep, but Brother Cai’s eyelids were fighting with him.
He panicked. “What exactly do you want to do!”
Wei Xiao nestled into the sofa and propped his chin up on the pillow. “I
don’t know.”
Bai Cai: “Play games?”
Although he was super sleepy, who told him to be unlucky enough to know
such a beast?!
Wei Xiao pouted. “Too weak.”
Bai Cai gritted his teeth, “I’ll keep you company in the professional
server!”
Wei Xiao was relentless. “You’re too weak.”
Bai Cai: “………………”
Wei Xiao even added insult to injury, “In my current state, I can’t carry you
to win.”
The implication was that when Laozi was in a good state, they could still
wreck havoc on heaven and earth even if Bai Cai was weak.
But now that Brother Xiao wasn’t in a good state, they would only be
abused if they went to play.
Bai Cai’s heart was filled with displeasure, but he had nothing he could say
to that. He asked grumpily, “Then, what do you want to do?”
Inexplicably, Brother Cai could also feel the phenomenon where ‘every
second felt like a year’. He could only plead for the captain to come back
quickly, as quickly as possible.
Wei Xiao cleared his throat. “Want to chat?”
Bai Cai knew that there was a trap waiting for him in this direction, but he
headed over anyway. “What do you want to talk about.”
Wei Xiao became energetic. “Of course we’ll chat about the captain!”
Really, Brother Cai was tired of listening to it, really, really tired of
listening to it. If he was given another chance, he would never want to
know about this underground love!
Wei Xiao wouldn’t let him go so easily. “Do you know when I started to
like the captain?”
Brother Cai’s face was expressionless. “Winter training camp.”
Wei Xiao: “No, it was two years ago…”
Wei Xiao: “You might not believe it if I tell you, but I saw one of Close’s
games back then. I didn’t even know what he looked like, but I just…”
Brother Cai had already heard about this unimportant and pointless story
800 times. He’d definitely heard it at least 800 times.
He really couldn’t pretend to be surprised anymore and could only act like
Brother Soy and listen on listlessly.
Wei Xiao: “You know it?”

Brother Cai was so sleepy, his vision was blurring. “Mm……”
Wei Xiao: “I think you might not have understood it, so I’ll say it again…”
There was a splat sound.
Brother Cai and Brother Soy both fell to the ground.
After talking for three hours until his mouth was dry, Wei Xiao finally let
the vegetable and the dog off.
It was already seven o’clock in the morning, and there was still…
At least four hours.
Wei Xiao looked at his cell phone, then looked out the window. He was
really out of options and simply went out for a run.
The May weather had warmed up. He wore a short sleeved shirt and long
pants and soon worked up a sweat from running.
He’d stayed up all night and had now run for five kilometers, but he was
still filled with energy. This was enough to show how excited he was.
If this was called missing Lu Feng, he really did miss him.
But it wasn’t so simple as just missing him.
He was in a state where he couldn’t hold down his emotions or keep his
heart steady in his chest. It was difficult to sit still.
Wei Xiao took a shower, looked at the time, and continued to sigh.
Normally, he was always the one messing with other people’s mentality, but
now, his own mentality had collapsed.
So this was what it felt to have one’s mentality collapse. It really didn’t feel
good.
With two hours left, Wei Xiao sat down in front of the computer and started
up his live broadcast.
How boring… he was too bored…
Although he couldn’t talk nonsense in the live broadcast room, he could

have his fans look at his ID and vent a little.
Of course, there was also another reason: He had to accumulate live

broadcast time so that he could be happy without any constraints when the
captain came back!
Countless fans poured in as soon as Wei Xiao started up his live broadcast.
“It’s eight o’clock in the morning… Did God Q get up so early?”
“I received the live broadcast notification just after I arrived at the

company. Should I watch or should I stare at it?”
“Did Baby Q not sleep all night? Mama won’t allow you to not take care of
your body!”
Wei Xiao greeted everyone, then logged into the game. He entered the
professional server.
After winter training camp, the competition committee had tasted this
sweetness and finally put together a professional server after a long delay.
As the name suggested, the professional server only allowed registered

professional players to login. In the minds of players, it was similar to a
realm of gods.
There were many professional players from various competition zones all
over the world. There were those who were currently active, those who
were retired, those in the second or even third teams, and those who were
currently making their way up from the youth training camp.
There were definitely a lot of people.

The professional player circle was also like a pyramid model.
There were few top-notch players, but there were many players in lower
tiers, enough to cover the sky, and there were no shortages of masters.
Setting up a professional server was a good thing. It gave more players with
potential a chance to show off their skills.
Wei Xiao didn’t have these worries, but he was also happy about the
establishment of a professional server. He only had one word to describe
how he felt about being able to play so easily against global experts––cool!
It wasn’t compulsory for players to use their professional IDs, but official
identification was required for login. After the identification process, they
could change their IDs however they liked.
Wei Xiao’s ID was very dazzling: I Like Close The Most.
In any case, he’d already ‘confessed’ all over the world. What was a mere
professional server?
Laozi would use it openly.
The audience laughed knowingly when they saw this ID, “Will today’s God
Q act like a person?”
“What are you talking about? The end of the world hasn’t arrived yet.”
This was a golden sentence from the fans––God Q would act like a person
when the world ended.
It was 8 o’clock in the morning, but the professional server was bustling
with activity. After all, it was a worldwide server, and it was a busy period
for many competition zones.
Wei Xiao had just been about to start solo queueing when he saw a
message.
He opened it casually; it turned out to be a friend request.

Wei Xiao looked at the ID.
Eh…
Originally, he didn’t want to add anyone, but now he accepted the request
instantly.
Wei Xiao sent a message over tentatively, “God Yan?”
Since IDs could be changed at will, it could be a professional support player

who admired God Yan and changed their ID to Yan.
Yan: “Mm.”
This tone didn’t seem like a fake.
Wei Xiao blinked, “What’s the matter?”
A team invitation was sent over. Of course, it came from Captain Yan.
The live broadcast room scrolling comments were going crazy. “Holy shit,
it’s God Yan!”
“Is it really God Yan?”
“It really is! How many years has it been since my God Yan added a
friend?”
“Three plus years probably…”
“Quiet is badass!”
“I’m jealous, I’m jealous.”
“I admire him, I admire him.”
There were also some strange messages––“He’s green, he’s green.”

Wei Xiao didn’t look at the scrolling comments. He asked Yan Jiang,
“Queue?”
Yan Jiang: “Go.”
Wei Xiao had been aimless to start with. “Okay.”
After saying so, he added, “But I’m not in a good state.”
Yan Jiang: “?”
Wei Xiao explained implicitly, “The captain is coming back soon, I’m
nervous.”
Sigh, the live broadcast was on and he could only explain in such an
euphemistic way.
Yan Jiang didn’t seem to be interested in continuing the conversation. “Oh.”
Wei Xiao was unreconciled. “You’re not curious about why I’m nervous?”
Just then, they were matched into a team. Yan Jiang said, “Type less if
you’re in a bad state.”
Wei Xiao: “…………………” He didn’t want to double queue anymore!
Forget it. After all, this was Glory’s number one support, his captain’s
former captain, and he’d also tricked him during the big brawl.
Wei Xiao held on.
But typing less was impossible. Wei Xiao was now hoping to distract
himself by talking.
I Like Close The Most: “What do you want to use?”
Yan: “Anything is fine.”
I Like Close The Most: “I’m in a bad state, I’ll use the shadow thief.”
Yan: “……”
Although Yan Jiang didn’t ask, the fans in the scrolling comments
understood Little Lunatic Wei too well and helped him answer, “If Quiet is
in a good state, he’ll also use the shadow thief!”
In any case, he just wanted to use the shadow thief!
Their teammates were a bunch of messy IDs. They didn’t know them at all,
and it was obvious they didn’t understand Chinese.
When they saw Yan’s ID, they were surprised for a moment and typed out a
few sentences in bad English.
Yan Jiang didn’t reply.
Wei Xiao felt that his English wasn’t bad, but he couldn’t understand what
they were trying to say. From this, it could be seen that these teammates’
mother tongue must be some other language.
After entering the game, Wei Xiao was still chattering, “God Yan, go and
help the bottom lane. I’m afraid I won’t even be able to brush out eight light
arcs in this game.”
Wei Xiao wasn’t being modest. He was really not in the right state of mind
and had even forgotten his own account password last night. The fact that
he still remembered how to do combos with the shadow thief was enough to
prove that he really loved the shadow thief.
As for light arcs, it would be up to fate… however many he could do would

be however many he did.
Yan Jiang: “Play casually.”
Wei Xiao: “I can only play casually now.”
At the start, Wei Xiao slowly worked on killing the blue buff while the
other side started off fiercely. They came over, wanting to steal his blue buff
and his life, making it clear that they wanted to bully him.
Wei Xiao: “……” He was a little angry.
Two minutes later, he ran into the other side at the red buff.
Wei Xiao: “……” He was a little angry, times two.
Five minutes later, the other side caught him in the bushes near the mid-
lane.
Wei Xiao turned on his mic, “If Laozi doesn’t show his tiger’s might, are
you going to continue treating him like a sick cat?!”
To hell with his state being bad! This young master was going to kill you
all!
Wei Xiao: “Captain Yan, come with me.”
Yan Jiang clicked on the teleport skill directly and landed in the small
dragon cave.
Wei Xiao looked at the minimap. “Good!”
As soon as he spoke, he moved to the dragon cave, and Yan Jiang arrived at
the same time. They had no vision on the minimap, but it didn’t prevent
Yan Jiang from landing and using a light gate right away, capturing both
players and the dragon.
Wei Xiao’s experience bar had just reached level six. He unlocked the light
arcs.
There was a series of happy cries on the scrolling comments, “Nine light
arcs, nine light arcs, God Q, hurry up!”
Wei Xiao was clear in his heart that based on his current state, there was no
point thinking about nine light arcs. Even getting out eight light arcs would
be pretty good.
And then……
A ray of holy light landed on Wei Xiao, and a ball of light shot out from the
dragon, hitting the two enemy heroes.
Wei Xiao’s hands moved messily, but by the time he’d stacked up all his
marks, the damage ratio was already as high as 900%. This…
Without the slightest pause, seemingly out of his control, he watched as

nine light arcs burst out into the dragon cave.
The live broadcast was going crazy. “Quiet’s mouth is deceptive as hell.”
“Is this what you call ‘I can’t even brush out eight light arcs?’?”
“Ahhhhh, why is my husband so strong!”
Wei Xiao took down a double kill and was in an odd mood. “Captain
Yan…”
Yan Jiang still gave him the same two words, “Play casually.”
It really was very casual… this was too difficult to describe.
Wei Xiao was 100% certain that his state was problematic, but he’d really
been able to casually brush out nine light arcs.
The reason?
It was due to Yan Jiang’s precise control.
Outsiders couldn’t see it, but Wei Xiao understood it clearly.
Nine light arcs, if it was aimed at dummy targets, then probably 30% of the
shadow thief experts in the Glory league could brush it out.
However, there were too many uncertainties in actual combat. At present,

only Close could brush out nine light arcs whenever he wanted.
Wei Xiao was still in a half-dazed state, and his grasp over nine light arcs
hadn’t reached that level.
Now…
Wei Xiao breathed in lightly. He’d really come to realize Yan Jiang’s
strength.
He could control living people until they were like target dummies.
That was why Wei Xiao’s nine light arcs had come so easily.
The author has something to say: When the captain comes home…
Hehe
Ch172.1 - Across the whole of
Glory, there was only one Yan
Jiang.
So this was the number one support player in Glory?
This was the previous Captain of the FTW’s Team of Gods?
Sure enough, he was really powerful!
Compared to hearing about it, some things were better understood when
experienced.
Captain Yan’s support made people feel very comfortable. For example,
Brother Cai was the other number one support player besides Captain Yan,
but compared with Captain Yan, it was like comparing an eunuch with the
emperor.
The difference was really too great!
Brother Cai, who was hugging Brother Soy and making up for his sleep,
“Achoo!” He sneezed loud enough to shake the heavens.
Wei Xiao had always been generous with his praise, “Badass, Captain Yan.”
Wei Xiao’s keyboard crackled as he typed, “Your control just now was
really absolute. Isn’t the control from the light bullet random? How did you
control it to this level?”
The holy priest’s light gate could be targeted. As long as it was placed
accurately and the player’s judgement was good enough, it wouldn’t be
difficult for the player to frame people with the gate. The skill that was
difficult to control was the light bullet.
The light bullet was also a holy priest core skill. It would bounce off several
targets repeatedly, causing a stun that lasted for a short period of time. But
because it would bounce back and forth, it could be played out to good
effect in group fights.
Of course, it was already pretty good like that, but this skill couldn’t be
controlled too much. The trajectory of the light bullet, the velocity, and the
stun time…
This control required too much detail and it was almost impossible to track
everything.
But Yan Jiang could.
Yan Jiang: “Because of the light gate.”
These five words left the audience in the live broadcast room confused.
“What-what does he mean?”
“What about the light gate?”
“Because of the light gate, what?”
The audience didn’t understand, but Wei Xiao understood instantly. “So
that’s how it is!”
Then, he was surprised, too. “Your understanding of the holy priest is too
thorough!”
Yan Jiang didn’t continue the conversation.
Someone in the scrolling comments realized, “I get it! The reason why God
Yan can control the light bullet so accurately and make a seemingly
uncontrollable skill stable enough to lock their opponents in the dragon
cave relies on the range determined by the light gate…”
This person had spoken the truth.
It was really difficult to determine the trajectory in a large space, but when
the range was limited to just the light gate, then it became possible to
calculate.
“Um… I understand the logic, but even with the light gate, it requires
judging an opponent’s position in such a short time, selecting the right
target, using the right angle, and calculating the trajectory and speed of the
light bullet…”
“Sorry, I’ve disturbed you. I don’t deserve to play holy priest!”
During this 5v5 game, Yan Jiang displayed the limits of a support player’s
ability to control their opponents.
Wei Xiao was really in a bad state, and his mind was really restless, but
towards the mid and late stages of the game, he became completely
immersed in the game, slaughtering his way across all three lanes and
leaving the other side with no course of resistance.
His mood wasn’t great, and he was in a bad state.
But it didn’t matter, he just had to play casually.
Yan Jiang could easily mobilize all his fighting power, going up against the
heavens, the earth, and even the air.
Victory!
Wei Xiao stared at the settlement panel for a long time.
I Like Close The Most: 18 kills, 0 deaths, 0 assists. He’d dealt 50% of the
team’s damage.
Yan: 0 kills, 1 death, 18 assists. His effective healing rate was 79%.
This data could be seen throughout the live broadcast room.
The audience sucked in a breath and exclaimed––
What kind of immortal support player was this!
Wei Xiao had 18 kills and zero deaths, but the most important thing was his
0 assists.
What did this mean? It meant that in all the kills he’d participated in, all of
the kills had been his. All of them! This head harvesting ability was so
strong that it didn’t seem human.
50% of the team’s total damage was also a very exaggerated value. It was
important to know that Wei Xiao was playing the jungler position. Although
the jungler position was a strong DPS dealing position, there was still a big
gap when it was compared with the mid-laner and ADC.
In general, in a normal match, the mid-lane and ADC should account for
over 60% of the total damage dealt. Now, Wei Xiao’s jungler had dealt
more damage than the mid-laner and ADC put together.
Was it that Wei Xiao was too strong?
He really was strong.
But he really wasn’t that strong.
It was completely because Yan Jiang had fed him well, seizing the right
timing so that Wei Xiao could fearlessly show off his operations.
Looking at Yan Jiang’s data was also enough to make others feel a thrill.
The essence of a support player was to not snatch kills and take resources
so he’d gotten 18 assists with no kills, and the number of his assists equaled
the same number of kills Wei Xiao had obtained. This meant that he’d been
involved in all of Wei Xiao’s kills.
Then, looking at the only death in his stats.

The audience had already memorised that scene a long time ago.
The other side had been beaten until their mentality collapsed like a bloody
avalanche. The four of them piled up on Wei Xiao at a spot where he had to
pass by, wanting to put their lives on the line to kill him at least once.
Yan Jiang’s vision had been cleared, and he couldn’t see anything, but the
overall situation was so quiet that it could be inferred that their opponents
were waiting to gank. Wei Xiao understood this even without Yan Jiang’s
prompting.
He stepped into the trap, using his amazing hand speed to pull back, but
who could’ve known that Yan Jiang would type out a single word, “Go.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
There wasn’t enough time to communicate. The holy priest’s skills popped
up, healing him while exposing the positions of all four players.
Wei Xiao instinctively knew what to do.
Captain Yan had controlled them so well, he wouldn’t be a man if he didn’t

go up and fight!
Making use of his hand speed and his superior farm, Wei Xiao’s light arcs
covered the sky, and he took down a quadrakill in exchange for Yan Jiang’s
life.
Captain Yan died.
But he’d let Wei Xiao take down four people on his own, making the other
side’s mentality explode completely.
This death was too worth it!
Looking at the nearly 80% of effective healing, if they really released this
screenshot, it would make countless senior Glory fans laugh. “This
photoshopped image is really too much!”
“79% effective healing? Why not just photoshop it to be 100%.”
However, this was the live broadcast, and they’d seen it with their own
eyes. It was impossible to falsify.
It had really happened!
Effective healing and total healing were two different pieces of data.
The former was useful healing, while the latter number included a large
amount of overhealing.
The former could turn the tides and extend teammates’ lives indefinitely;
the latter could be achieved with one’s eyes closed.
Effective healing was also an important piece of data when judging the
level of a healer.
As everyone knew, ordinary players were already considered little

immortals if they could reach 20%, and professional players could pass the
standard if they reached 30%. If they exceeded 40%, then the game MVP
would be given to the support player…
What kind of concept was 79%?
Across the whole of Glory, there was only one Yan Jiang.
Wei Xiao was thinking about such things in his heart, but his mouth said,
“Are FTW’s captains all so powerful?”
There was no need to mention Close; his strength was well known.
Yan Jiang……
Previously, Wei Xiao couldn’t understand how a support player could be

acknowledged as a god, but now he understood.
No matter which position it was, it could be exceedingly tyrannical when

played at an extreme level.
Wei Xiao was now enjoying himself. “Again!” This time, he would try to
appreciate it seriously. There were too many places where he could learn
from Yan Jiang.
Yan Jiang: “Okay.”
The two of them queued up for three games in a row without stopping.
During these three games, Wei Xiao was lucky enough to get the shadow
thief each time. He took this opportunity to experience how it felt to brush
out nine light arcs all the time.
Previously, he was in a very dazed state when he brushed out the nine light
arcs.
When he learned about Close’s shoulder injury, his brain was blank, leaving
nothing but restless energy, and he didn’t even know what he was doing.
After the event, he’d gone over it in his mind carefully, but the more he
tried to deliberately find the same feeling, the harder it seemed to be able to
find it.
The nine light arcs he’d brushed out during the big brawl had been
completed with Close’s guidance. This was very normal; when the two of
them soloed, Wei Xiao was always pushed to extremes by Lu Feng and
would be able to brush it out.
But the nine light arcs he played out at this kind of time was also too
difficult for him to understand.
Perhaps it was something that needed to be repeated in order to capture the

essence, but Wei Xiao didn’t know the number of repetitions he needed.
Today when he double queued with Yan Jiang, Wei Xiao’s feeling for it was
very different.
This time, his nine light arcs weren’t emotional, and it wasn’t because his
brain was blank. He had space to think, and it was like there was a camera
providing him with a slow-motion visual experience.
Perhaps it was Yan Jiang’s control that spared him the effort so that he
could have space to think.
The more he played, the more immersed he grew. Wei Xiao had just been
about to say that they should play again.
Yan Jiang spoke, “Big brawl?”
Yan Jiang: “Doubles.”
Wei Xiao: “Let’s go!”
The fans who’d been watching the live broadcast for two hours went crazy.
“What did Captain Yan say????”
“Fellow sisters, take a screenshot!”
“If this is let out, it’ll make everyone’s chins drop.”
“It’s well known that God Yan never plays in singles or doubles.”
“What kind of big treasure is Quiet? He actually made God Yan break his
own rules on his own initiative!”
There were two modes for the big brawl. One mode was to enter the arena
on their own, which was just like the opening game where 100 players
fought against each other, and other than themselves, the other 99 players
were all opponents that they should kill when they meet.
The second mode was to team up, but it wasn’t a team battle like 5v5, but a
team of two. It had replaced the previous doubles competition.
When the two-man team entered the arena, they wouldn’t harm their
teammates when they used their skills, and at the same time, support
players could also be of use.
Yan Jiang and Wei Xiao switched out of the professional server and went to
the international server.
The big brawl naturally couldn’t be held in the professional server. There
weren’t enough people, and they might have to queue until they died.
Ch172.2 - Wei Xiao had waited for
him for an entire regular season.
After going to the international servers, the two soon queued in, selecting
their four talents before being sent to their starting point.
Wei Xiao was amused when he saw where they were. “The Battlesong
Plains.”
The scrolling comments: “Oh boy, brothers in Battlesong, run quickly!”
“The wolf is coming, the wolf is coming!”
“What wolf? It’s the little demon king who screws with the heavens and the
earth!”
Landing in the Battlesong Plains really felt too cool.
They could kill without saying anything. Wei Xiao couldn’t be any happier.
If, in 5v5, Yan Jiang could take Wei Xiao to fight two against five, then
when it came to the big brawl, the two of them could go up against the
remaining 98 players.
The fans: “I get it. I understand why Captain Yan doesn’t play in the
doubles.”
“I get it, too.”
“I get it +ID number.”
“With this support, do other people even have a way to live on in the
doubles?!”
“… I feel heartache for the other 98 people in the big brawl.”
Wei Xiao took the same four talents he’d used for the opening game, and
his operations made people’s scalp feel numb.
This time, not only could Yan Jiang provide control, he could also heal and
provide buffs to Wei Xiao one after another. After a round of fighting, the
Battlesong Plains were filled with corpses, and Wei Little Xiao’s clothing
drifted in the wind as he stood there with full health.
The outer zones, central zone, and finals circle.
When Wei Xiao picked up Sky Island’s Heart, he sighed, “Too easy.”
At the end of the day, they were fighting against casual players. How could
they hold up against this devilish combination?!
The game ended, and Yan Jiang asked once more, “Again?”
Wei Xiao had just wanted to type when he abruptly noticed the time.
“……………”
“No more, no more!” Wei Xiao spoke hurriedly, “I’m not playing
anymore!”
Holy shit, there was only less than an hour left. He had to go and pick up
the captain!
Yan Jiang: “?”
Wei Xiao didn’t dare to talk about the airport pickup while broadcasting as
he was afraid of being blocked by fans. He just said, “It’s not early
anymore. If the coach sees that I’m not sleeping, I’ll be shot down on the
spot.”
This was a good excuse, and the fans didn’t think too much about it. The
audience in the scrolling comments all urged him to go to bed.
Wei Xiao said goodbye to the audience, then turned off the live broadcast
before typing to Yan Jiang, “My captain is about to get off the plane. I’m
going to go pick him up.”
Wei Xiao: “I’m leaving, bye.”
Yan Jiang: “Okay.”
Wei Xiao logged out of the game and pulled on his jacket, preparing to go
out.
He’d been too excited when playing the game just now, and his mood had
evened out quite a lot. Now that he was about to leave, he started to feel
anxious again.
His heart thumped hard, and his brain was filled with Lu Feng. The damned
corners of his lips couldn’t be pressed down.
He was back, he was back.
The captain was back!
Wei Xiao breathed in, then went out in his casual clothing…
He hadn’t yet flagged down a car when a message came through on his cell
phone, “Awake?”
Wei Xiao’s eyes grew wide, “Are you off the plane already???” How did he
arrive ahead of time!
Lu Feng called him directly.
Wei Xiao’s fingers trembled as he accepted the call, “I’m heading to the
airport right away. Wait for me.”
He was going to go pick him up. They’d agreed on it.

Lu Feng had just taken a 12 hour flight, and his voice was a little hoarse.
“No need.”
Wei Xiao immediately said, “No way, I’ll…”
Lu Feng laughed briefly, “I’ll send you a location, go there and wait for
me.”
Wei Xiao’s head was covered in question marks.
Lu Feng: “If we set out at the same time, we’ll be able to meet sooner.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
His heart instantly felt like it was stuffed with a piece of sugar. He could
feel the sweetness in his throat. “Yeah!”
Lu Feng sent him a position. Wei Xiao got into the car, then asked, “Where
is this?”
Lu Feng was likely going through the airport customs and didn’t reply.
Wei Xiao stared at it for a while, “Water City Mansion?” He’d heard of this
place. It was a very famous community, with suffocatingly high house
prices.
Forget it, he would go wherever the captain asked him to go, and he
wouldn’t hesitate!
Wei Xiao was delighted the whole way there. He even felt that the scenery
outside the car window was very pleasant.
The driver was a middle-aged uncle. When he saw his appearance through
the rearview mirror, he said in amusement, “Young fellow, are you going to
see your girlfriend?”
Wei Xiao was a little surprised. “Big brother, you’re really perceptive!” His
mouth was so sweet right now that he could call an auntie ‘big sister’, and
uncle became ‘big brother’.
The driver was wild with joy over this form of address. “Of course, I’m an
experienced person.”
Wei Xiao was in a good mood and was willing to chat, “I’ve been separated
from them for a really long time. They just came back today.”
Chinese was broad and profound, and the driver uncle didn’t suspect
anything. “It’s not easy having a long distance relationship.”
It was alright when Wei Xiao didn’t speak, but once he started he couldn’t
stop. “Yeah, I think about them every day, and I miss them so much I can’t
sleep.”
The driver uncle smiled broadly. “It sounds like you have an excellent
girlfriend.”
Wei Xiao: “Big brother, you’re wrong. What do you mean, excellent? I…
um… using the word ‘excellent’ to describe them is too insulting…”
The highest level of rainbow farts was to exaggeratedly boast to someone

who didn’t understand the situation, making them feel as though it was
raining flowers.
By the time they arrived at the destination, the driver uncle was regretting
it. If he’d known that this brat would have such a toxic mouth, he wouldn’t
have tried to strike up a conversation!
In this half hour drive, the driver’s head had been stuffed full of details of
his ‘girlfriend’ who couldn’t merely be described as excellent, but could
only be described as the number one person across the heavens and the
earth!
Wei Xiao still wasn’t finished by the time they arrived. “Goodbye, big
brother.”
The driver waved his hand. “Goodbye, goodbye!”
When Wei Xiao got out of the car, the midday sun was already growing
strong. Golden lines of light fell down, covering the green leaves on the
camphor trees with a layer of gold. Wei Xiao unconsciously narrowed his
eyes, then noticed the man standing beneath the tree.
Fine gold streaks passed through the branches and fell on his firm shoulder.
The speckled light was like a series of scattered stars, landing playfully on
his pale neck and along his shoulders. The cool tone of his skin seemed as if
it had frozen the glittering sunlight, preventing the light from moving any
further so that his beautiful jaw and cold, thin lips remained out of reach.
Hidden by the shade, the light was unable to drift over his high nose, his
deep, dark eyes…
Out of the sun’s reach, that pair of dark eyes were now filled with stars after
seeing the person who was heading over.
Wei Xiao breathed in, then didn’t have any attention to spare on how they
were still at the side of the road. He gave him a huge hug as soon as he
walked over.
Lu Feng’s lips curved up, and he placed his free hand around him. “I’ve
made you wait for a long time.”
It was clear that he’d been the one who was standing there waiting, and he
was clearly waiting for Wei Xiao, but he said that he’d kept Wei Xiao
waiting for a long time.
76 days.
Half a world apart.
Wei Xiao had waited for him for an entire regular season.
Originally, he hadn’t felt aggrieved. He hadn’t felt bitter, and he hadn’t

wanted to cry. However, when Wei Xiao heard Lu Feng’s words, his
emotions, which had been in turmoil all day and night, softened into pools
of water. He couldn’t squeeze down the feeling in his chest, and it shot
straight to the tip of his nose.
“Captain…”
“Mm.”
“I missed you so much.”
“Me too.”
The driver uncle saw the figures of two people embracing each other as he
drove away.
Girlfriend?!
Hm…
This girlfriend was so tall!
The community had strictly controlled entrances. Lu Feng took him

upstairs, while Wei Xiao kept his head bowed the whole time. His eyes
were too red, and it would be too shameful if they ran into someone.
There was no one else in the elevator. The air was so quiet that only the
sound of their breathing could be heard.
Wei Xiao didn’t dare to move because there was a camera over the top of
their heads.
First floor, second floor, third floor…
He stared at the numbers until they reached the 26th floor. Wei Xiao’s heart
almost jumped right out as he counted.
“Why is it such a high floor?” He couldn’t help speaking.
Lu Feng’s voice was a little dry. “Sorry.”
Wei Xiao blinked, “What are you sorry for.”
Lu Feng: “Being on such a high floor.”
Wei Xiao was amused. “What place is this?”

Lu Feng: “The place I lived before I joined the team.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes opened wide, “Your home?”
Lu Feng paused. “It’s a residence.”
Wei Xiao wanted to ask more, but the elevator door opened.
Lu Feng finally couldn’t hold back. He grabbed him by the wrist and pulled
him out of the elevator.
The elevator faced a single door. He used his fingerprint to unlock the door,
and it opened with a click.
Wei Xiao didn’t even get to see what the interior was like before Lu Feng
pressed him up against the back of the door and kissed him on the lips.
There was a bang as his luggage was thrown aside, and all that was left was
the other party’s constant gasps.
Wei Xiao was kissed until his scalp went numb. He didn’t have any
attention to spare on anything else; his eyes and heart were filled with Lu
Feng, and he couldn’t do anything except to respond.
Kiss, gasp, and whisper each other’s names.
Wei Xiao’s face was red, his ears were crimson, and he tried to suppress his
moans.
Lu Feng pinched his delicate earlobe. “Call out for me.”
Wei Xiao’s clear voice was so sweet it made his heart go soft. “Captain…”
Lu Feng: “No.”
Wei Xiao’s heart beat so fast it wanted to jump out of his throat.
“Boyfriend…”
Lu Feng leaned down and kissed him. “Mm.”

Wei Xiao could only see white in front of his eyes. His back was pressed up
against the cold security door, but it was unable to cool down his body.
After Wei Xiao recovered his senses, Lu Feng picked him up.
Wei Xiao exclaimed in surprise. “Your shoulder–”
Wei Xiao was still worried.
But Lu Feng wouldn’t set him down, and he also didn’t dare to struggle out
of fear that he might pull something.
It wasn’t far from the door to the bathroom. Who would’ve dared to think
that when Wei Xiao came to a completely strange place, the first place he
would set foot in would be the bathtub?
He refused to behave as they bathed.
He was right at the age of hot-blooded vitality, and he would get excited
about anything.
By the time they went to the bedroom, Wei Xiao was humming and purring
like a satisfied cat.
Lu Feng kissed his hair, which seemed to want to curl, and asked, “Can
we?”
How could the current Wei Xiao not understand?
Although he was a little scared and a little flustered, but… he’d rather die
trying than lose face.
Wei Xiao wrapped his arms around his neck and pasted himself close to his
ear. His voice trembled, “Captain…”
“Mm.”
“Do me.”
xiin: (finally!)
Ch173.1 - World of two
Wei Xiao spoke boldly in a moment of passion, but he was still so shy that
his cheeks reddened. His gaze was on the floor, and his eyelashes trembled.
Lu Feng couldn’t bear it. He lowered his head and kissed him.
Wei Xiao closed his eyes and clenched his fingers around his forearm; he
was so nervous that his knuckles were pale.
Lu Feng’s heart grew soft again. “Don’t be scared.”
Wei Xiao gasped. “I’m not scared.”
Lu Feng laughed quietly and rubbed the tip of his nose. “It’s okay, we still
have a long time ahead of us. We can take it slowly.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes opened wide.
Lu Feng’s voice was full of restraint and forbearance. “You’re still young.”
His Wei Little Xiao was only 19 years old.
But what kind of person was Wei Xiao?
One of his tenets of life was that coaxing was more effective than
demanding.
If someone went up to antagonize him, he’d hit them right back.
But the captain’s soft candy left him feeling so sweet that he was dizzy in
an instant.
“No way…” Wei Xiao licked his lower lip. “We can’t waste time.”
Wei Xiao went to hold a place he shouldn’t touch, his gaze hot. “Even if we
live to be 100 years old, we only have 80 years left. We must cherish every
minute and do everything we want to do.”
Lu Feng looked at him, his eyes very deep.
Wei Xiao’s Adam’s apple convulsed. He asked, “Do you want to do it?”
Lu Feng took a breath and bit him on the neck, his actions rough.
Wei Xiao shrunk back slightly, but his words were frank and direct, “I want
you, too.”
As soon as these words came out, all the reason in Lu Feng’s mind
disappeared.
It would hurt him.
He was still young.
They still had a lot of time.
All of his worries disappeared completely due to Wei Xiao’s words.
Lu Feng kissed him heavily, and the movements of his hands could no
longer be called calm and self-controlled.
At first, Wei Xiao still managed to bear it, his expression righteous like he’d
endure until death, but later––
“Captain, captain…”
“Hurts…”
“Wuwuwu…”
Wei Xiao had guessed early on that he was made of water, but he hadn’t
expected that he could cry to this extent!
It was so painful that he couldn’t stop crying, but he was also crying when it
didn’t hurt. He cried when it went fast and when it was slow; he also…
Even someone as shameless as Wei Little Xiao felt that he was too
embarrassing to be seen!
Later, Wei Xiao passed out directly.
There was no helping it; even without the physical exertion, he hadn’t slept
for a whole day and night. His spirit had been tense for such a long time,
and he’d tired himself out.
Now that he was snuggled up with the person he’d thought of endlessly, his
nerves relaxed, and he fell asleep messily.
Lu Feng carried him to the bathroom. Wei Xiao was resting his chin against
his shoulder so obediently that Lu Feng felt like his body was on fire.
When they hadn’t done it, he’d wanted to do it so badly.
Now that they’d done it, he wanted it even more fiercely.
Lu Feng sucked in a light breath and kissed him. “Little Xiao.”
Wei Xiao couldn’t open his eyes anymore. “Mm…”
Lu Feng closed his eyes briefly. “Just for a while.”
Wei Xiao had really been ‘convinced’ thoroughly, and his mouth was now
very honest. “No, no… captain… mm….”
The ending tone of his voice rolled straight to the tip of heart.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already 24 hours later.

Wei Xiao was sleeping in a strange bed, but his heart was very steadfast. It
was just… the places that should hurt…
Eh, it didn’t seem to hurt so much!
Wei Xiao blinked and examined the feeling.
Holy sh*t!
Was he really okay?!
Was Laozi really so talented??
Wei Xiao tried to get up. He was just about to sit up when he fell back
down.
It hurt!
How could it possibly not hurt!
It had been such a big thing. It would be strange if it didn’t hurt him to
death.
Presumably, the captain had helped him with the aftercare and applied some
medicine after he fell asleep. The effect of the medicine was amazing, so it
was alright if he didn’t move about randomly.
The door opened, and Lu Feng came in with a glass of milk. “You’re
awake?”
Wei Xiao lay there on the pillow and called out to him pitifully, “Captain.”
Lu Feng sat down beside the bed. “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “Hurts.”
Lu Feng stroked his soft hair. “I’ll use some more medicine later.”

No matter how shameless he was, his cheeks still flushed at this moment.
He buried himself in the pillows.
Lu Feng was amused. He coaxed him, “Get up and eat something.”
Wei Xiao’s pair of beautiful eyes appeared again. “I don’t dare move.”
Lu Feng: “Have a cup of sweetened milk first. I’ll go bring the food over.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes darted around, and he grew energetic again. “Feed me.”
Wei Xiao pouted. “Last night, you almost f*cked me until…”
How could Lu Feng dare to let him finish? He interrupted his words, “Just
wait.”
Wei Xiao forgot the pain after his recovery, oh, wait, he’d forgotten the pain
even from before his recovery. His eyes curved, making the dimples at his
eyes even more obvious. His smile was sweet and evil. “Faster~”
This sound and this word successfully made Lu Feng’s steps pause.
Wei Xiao’s own face flushed after he spoke, his heart starting to pound.
Lu Feng ultimately managed to hold on. He headed straight to the dining

room and was able to remain steady as he brought in the hot congee that
had been cooked over several hours.
Drinking milk was okay, since there was a straw, and he could drink it on
his stomach.
But he had to sit up to eat the congee.
Even if the bed was soft, Wei Xiao still whimpered and whined a little.
Lu Feng was worried about him. “Does it hurt?”

In fact, Wei Xiao was actually alright. It was really within a tolerable range,
but he couldn’t help himself in the face of Lu Feng’s demeanor. “It hurts
QAQ.”
Lu Feng kissed him on the forehead. “Bear with it for a while; you should
eat something.”
Wei Xiao’s heart was itchy. “I don’t want to eat anymore.”
Lu Feng’s heart still ached for him. “In that case, what do you want to eat?
I’ll make it for you. But it should be something light.”
Wei Xiao tugged on his sleeve. “In fact, I’m not hungry.”
Wei Xiao had first started seeking death a long time ago. “You fed me so
much last night…”
Lu Feng: “………………”
Although Wei Xiao was in a daze towards the end, he was certain that the
captain had done it again in the bathroom., “How could I be hungry…
hey…”
Lu Feng placed a spoonful of congee near his lips.
Wei Xiao swallowed it down, and the hunger bug in his stomach instantly
woke up. “How fragrant!”
It would be strange if he wasn’t hungry. It wasn’t this mouth of his that had
been fed full last night.
After wolfing down a big bowl of congee, Wei Xiao became even more
energetic.
Lu Feng had eaten breakfast already. After cleaning up for a while, he came
back to the bedroom.
Wei Xiao beckoned to him, and Lu Feng sat down beside the bed.
Wei Xiao leaned against him and rubbed against him hard. “What’s the plan
for today?”
Lu Feng kissed the tips of his hair. “There’s no plan.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up. “Are we staying here?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao got up to kiss him on the chin. “That’s great.”
Lu Feng also bowed his head to kiss him. “Have a good rest. I’ve already
asked for leave for you with the club.”
He really had asked for leave. Chen Feng looked at this leave note, and
black lines had appeared all over his head.
Xiang Liu cleared his throat. “They’ll be back in two or three days at most.”
Chen Feng sighed. “Yeah.”
What else could they do? The two lovers had been separated for so long.
The whole world wouldn’t be able to stop them from indulging in their
world of two.
Besides…
Who would dare to stop them!
This note was obviously written in Lu Feng’s handwriting. Who would dare
to reject it?!
Chen Feng went to the training room and notified everyone, “For the next
two days, Wei Xiao…” He casually made something up. “His body doesn’t
feel comfortable so he asked for leave.”
Little Ning immediately grew nervous. “What’s wrong with brother Xiao?
Is he okay? He said he was sick two a few days ago, is it so serious? We
should go see him…” As he spoke, he looked at Brother Cai, who was
beside him.
Brother Cai, who was holding a white porcelain covered bowl and drinking
Tie Guanyin that cost 8000 for half a catty, almost sprayed his tea back out:
See him? To hell with seeing him! Were they going to go watch a porn
film?!
Ning Zhehan knew nothing about all of this. “Brother Cai, don’t be so
nervous; Brother Xiao will be fine. Maybe he’s just got an upset stomach?
In any case, let’s go see him now!”
Chen Feng, whose head was still covered in black lines and now regretted
making up a reason on his own: “…………”
Bai Cai quickly blocked Little Ning. “No need!”
Bai Cai spoke in all earnestness, “He-he… don’t you know how he is? He
has to keep up appearances at all costs. If we go see him, he might come
back with us on the spot.”
Little Ning: “!”
Bai Cai found a way to explain things logically. “It wasn’t easy sending him
off to rest. As soon as he sees us, he’ll probably rush back to train. We’d
better not go and trigger him.”
Ning Zhehan believed him. “Makes sense.”
Wei Xiao’s crazy reputation didn’t collapse. Brother Cai had tried his best!
Little Ning then sighed. “The captain is coming back soon. It’s unfortunate
that he can’t see Brother Xiao right away.”
Bai Cai: “!” At this moment, he almost thought that Ning Zhehan had seen
through everything.
Fortunately, Little White Ning was still as pure as a sheet of A4 paper.

“Isn’t that right? Our success during the whole regular season was due to
Brother Xiao. The captain must want to see him.”
These big ups and downs made life too difficult for those who were familiar
with the situation!!
The news of Lu Feng’s return had been kept from everyone in the team,
except for Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao really couldn’t help himself and had secretly told Brother Cai,
which was why Brother Cai and Soybean had been poisoned together.
Two years ago, Wei Xiao had met Lu Feng for the first time, pestering him
for three days and three nights.
Now, two years later, Wei Xiao and Lu Feng were entangled together for
another three days and three nights.
Of course, what they were doing was totally different.
During their first three days and three nights, other than solo, he was only
focused on solo.
During their second three days and three nights, other than Lu Feng, there
was only Lu Feng.
Don’t think that Wei Little Xiao would stop acting so recklessly after he
‘became a man’.
After ‘becoming a man’, he would only be more reckless on top of his

original recklessness.
What was fortunate was the fact that the great demon king was really
worthy of being the great demon king. He hadn’t 艹-ed him to death despite
everything, which could be considered inhuman in another sense.
Wei Xiao whimpered when the medicine was applied, pitifully calling out
that it hurt.
Lu Feng didn’t say a word.
After a while, Wei Xiao changed tunes. The ‘hurting’ became, “Itchy…”
Later?
It could only be said that Wei Xiao being unable to get out of bed was really
his own fault!
By the time his body recovered, Wei Xiao became even more energetic.
Flirting with words wasn’t fun enough, and it was deadly when he added his
body to the mix.
Lu Feng pressed him down. “Don’t make trouble.”
Wei Xiao kissed him. “I’ll get used to it if we do it more. In fact, it’s
quite…”
Lu Feng was strict with him for once. “Shut up.”
But Wei Xiao wasn’t afraid of him. “Captain~”
Three days and three nights. Wei Xiao personally proved that: Close Is Very
Strong, Close Has Great Skills, and even Close Has Super Endurance…
He’d even temporarily changed it to a talent!
xiin: *old auntie smile*

Ch173.2 - Brother Xiao is so
handsome, he’s like the hero who
saves the beauty!
Time spent in a world for two people always passed by quickly.
At the end of the day, Wei Xiao was young, and Lu Feng took good care of
him. He really adapted very quickly.
After he was able to get out of bed and jump around, he finally remembered
that he had a cell phone…
Wei Xiao pulled it out and opened it. Cough.
Brother Cai: “The captain’s back?”
Ten hours later: “Where are you?”
Another half an hour later: “F*ck, are you okay?”
Ten minutes after that: “Take it easy, we haven’t played in the playoffs yet.
Don’t get X-ed to death!”
The time frequency between each message grew shorter, “Little Lunatic
Wei?”
“Are you still alive?”
“Does our FTW still have a jungler king?”
“Holy shit, do you have to go so far? It’s been two days!”

Wei Xiao rubbed at his temples and sent him a reply, “So noisy.”
Brother Cai, who’d waited for such a long time and finally received a reply:
“………..”
I shouldn’t have f*cking worried about you!
Amidst Brother Cai’s mother-in-law-like concern was another eye-catching

message.
Old Bandit Yuan: “Did you pick up Close?”
Old Bandit Yuan: “I soloed with him before I left. He still needs to work on
finding the feeling.”
Wei Xiao’s heart felt a little sour.
Who could’ve known that Yuan Ze would send over another sentence? “I’ll
make an appointment to play with him a few more times when I have time.”
Little Vinegar Jar Wei flipped over!
Wei Xiao got out of bed barefooted and went to the kitchen to find Lu Feng.
Wei Xiao found it quite unexpected that Lu Feng could cook, but of course,
he was already over his surprise. Now, he wanted to ‘launch a punitive
expedition’!
Lu Feng heard the sound of movement and looked back at him. “What…”
Before he could finish speaking, he noticed his bare legs and shoeless feet.
Lu Feng dried his hands and walked up to him. “The floor is cold, put your
shoes on.”
Wei Xiao held up his cell phone and showed it to him.
Lu Feng: “?”
Wei Xiao was really sour. “Yuan Ze’s really concerned about you. He’s
afraid you can’t find the feeling and even wants to play with you a few
more times.”
Wei Xiao didn’t need to eat lunch anymore because he was already full of
vinegar. “Look at this photo, he made you look so handsome in it! Say, do
you think he’s…”
Lu Feng picked him up.
Wei Xiao: “Ah…”
Lu Feng first gave him a kiss.
Wei Xiao instantly felt sweet inside, but his mouth continued to complain,
“Kissing isn’t going to work; I’m angry.”
Lu Feng set him down on the sofa so that he could step on the soft carpet.
“What are you angry about?”
Wei Xiao bit at his Adam’s apple. “I’m angry that you’re attracting bees and
butterflies!”
Lu Feng looked at him and smiled.
Wei Xiao sucked in a breath and accused, “You see? Look at your smile,
you’re seducing people again!”
Lu Feng couldn’t help himself and kissed him again. “Alright.”
Wei Xiao really wished he could hide him away.
Lu Feng laughed and coaxed him, “I’ll only smile for you in the future.”
Wei Xiao: “!”

Lu Feng’s voice was 1000% deadly when he used to speak words of love. “I
only like you.”
Wei Xiao’s heart was pounding, bang, bang, bang.
Lu Feng lowered his voice further, “I only love you.”
It was just a few quiet sentences, but it made Wei Xiao wrap his hands
around his neck, his whole body burning hot. “We’ll eat later.”
Lu Feng held his waist.
Wei Xiao pulled him down to the sofa. “Right here…”
The little beast was shameless, impetuous, and unrestrained.
If Lu Feng still didn’t take him back to the base, then Brother Cai’s worries
would come true.
After returning to the base, Lu Feng started to get busy.
This was normal; he wasn’t only Close, but also the head of FTW.
After such a long time away, even if he’d worked remotely, there were
many things that still needed to be gone over anew.
It was also because he would be very busy after his official return that Lu
Feng had taken Wei Xiao and hidden away outside secretly for a few days.
The way Wei Xiao had both yearned for and missed him was something
that couldn’t be explained fully with words.
Although Lu Feng didn’t use words, the amount that he missed him wasn’t
any less and might even be even more.
They needed these three days to ease the yearning they felt for each other
after it had built up for more than two months.
After indulging in each other for so many days, Wei Xiao inevitably felt a
sense of loss when they abruptly returned back to the base.
Brother Cai disdained him. “Be a little more promising.”
Wei Xiao stared at him. “You don’t understand shit!”
He really didn’t understand as much as he did now.
Wei Xiao was sorrowful. “The furthest distance wasn’t when he was in
North America, but rather when he’s in China and right in front of me, but I
can’t kiss him.”
Bai Cai: “………………………… Get lost!”
Fortunately, the playoffs were coming soon.
After Close’s return, the team needed to break in the new team formation.
Once the training matches began, Wei Xiao’s brain was no longer filled
with nothing but love.
There weren’t that many games in the playoffs. If FTW had a smooth
journey, they might only need to play three games.
Their first game was against GOQ. If they won, then they would enter the
top four.
Then, it was four into two, and if they won that, they’d enter the finals.
The last game would be the domestic finals where they fought for the
championship!
If they won the domestic championship, then they would qualify to fight for
the global championship, and that would be like receiving a major stimulant
towards taking down the global championships.
Also…
This would be Wei Xiao’s first championship.
It was very rare for newcomers to win the championship in their first year
after joining a team. It was a rare occurrence even across the whole world.
Wei Xiao hadn’t joined the club as a transfer player. He was entering the
professional arena for the first time.
So, it was very significant.
FTW wouldn’t let go of any championship opportunity.
Three years later, they still longed for and cherished that golden trophy!
The team competition was determined, and the doubles and singles
competition were now open for registration.
There was no dispute for the singles event; FTW signed up for Close.
Their doubles team had also been determined a long time ago, Close &
Quiet.
As soon as the list came out, as expected, the fans were over the moon.
The singles competition, doubles competition, team competition.
FTW was very ambitious!
“Two championship crowns are guaranteed!”
“Be a little more confident, winning three championships won’t be hard,

okay.”
“Well, the doubles competition relies heavily on cooperation.”
“Close and Quiet can’t cooperate?”
“It’s not that I don’t believe in Quiet, but that the great demon king is really
hard to catch up to.”
“He is hard to catch up to, but I feel that Quiet can do it!”
The ‘catch up to’ that the fans spoke about was referring to keeping up with
Close’s rhythm. Brother Cai looked at these words, and his lips twitched:
Don’t worry, he caught him. The only person in the whole world who could
catch Close is your Quiet!
Finally, the officials released a video from the big brawl opening game.
In fact, the game officials had been constantly trying to attract people’s
interest from the release of this new game mode. They’d cut and played
many different clips from region to region.
For example, the lost proud flower of Shining Gold Temple.
For example, the duel of mages in Thousand Needle Forest.
For example, Close’s heavenly group’s crazy operations.
Of course, there was no lack of clips showing the great demon king’s
slaughter mode in Falling Star Lake.
But these were just clips. They were there to show off excellent operations,
provide snippets, and let people watch the excitement.
When they’d gained enough attention, then they would release the whole
video so that fans could cut out clips on their own.
FTW’s side really had to go over the replay.
Firstly, there was Close who’d signed up for the singles. They had to figure
out all the possible plays in the big brawl and definitely couldn’t screw up.
Secondly, Close and Quiet had signed up for the doubles. They had to take
a closer look at these two people’s tactical ideas and make some
preparations in advance.
Chen Feng presided over the replay review, and the first thing they watched
was the fighting in Falling Star Lake.
Close had played too well, and the review was very boring. Towards the
end, Chen Feng suspected that he’d been infected by Little Lunatic Wei as
he was getting too good at blowing rainbow farts!
For the sake of the reputation of his poisonous tongue, Chen Feng switched
to the Moonlight Wetland.
This was Wei Xiao’s main battlefield. At this moment, nobody thought
much of it, and even Brother Cai had forgotten.
Until the chat box popped up over Wei Xiao’s head, super flirty, “Captain
Yan, are you tempting me?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Bai Cai: “!!”
What did it mean when self-inflicted suffering made it difficult to live?
Wei Little Xiao was really making sure he wouldn’t be able to get out of
bed!
Chen Feng clicked on fast forward. But who could’ve known that they’d get
to an even deadlier portion?
The holy priest who was covered in holy light had been surrounded; there
were raindrops everywhere and the blood warrior was charging down from
the sky. Then, Quiet said, “Stand back.”
Little Ning became the last straw to crush Wei Xiao. “Brother Xiao is so
handsome, he’s like the hero who saves the beauty!”
Wei Xiao: “………………………………”
Lu Feng’s black eyes were dark and still.
Wei Xiao reached out a hand towards his under the table.
Ning Zhehan cleared his throat and continued, “No, that’s not right. Captain
Yan isn’t a beauty, but Brother Xiao is definitely God Yan’s hero at this
moment!”
To make it worse, Xiang Liu came in, his face full of surprise. “Y1 asked us
for a training match!”
The four little ones: “!”
Xiang Liu didn’t know what had just happened before and said happily,
“Last year’s global champions asked us for a training match…” He was so
moved, so moved he wanted to cry.
Many pairs of eyes turned to Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao laughed dryly.
Ning Zhehan: “It’s all because of Brother Xiao. Captain Yan is thanking
you.”
Wei Xiao was going crazy: Little Ning, your mouth ahhhhh, Laozi doesn’t
want to sleep on the floor!
Ch174.1 - Lu Feng: You came too
late.
It felt a bit cold in the training room.
There was no other reason for it; Close on his own was enough to freeze an
entire summer, let alone a mere training room.
Ning Zhehan’s little mouth blared on for a long time before he finally
seemed to realize that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right.
Little Ning shut up and blinked his eyes.
Cough, cough... What was going on?
Brother Cai knew the reason for it, but he didn’t dare to say anything.
Wei Xiao also knew, but it wasn’t convenient for him to coax Lu Feng right
now because there were too many people present.
Chen Feng knew most of all, and he only felt that his brain was hurting and
he needed painkillers to continue living.
Xiang Liu was a worldly-wise person and immediately realized that

something wasn’t right. He shut his mouth and stood there cleverly.
Nobody spoke, and the cooling system in the room became even more
effective.
Wei Xiao took responsibility for the things he’d done. He steeled himself
and opened his mouth, “Captain…”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao’s heart was dripping blood. “We won’t play training matches with
them!”
Once these words came out, Ning Zhehan’s eyes grew wide.
Yue Wenle bowed his head and stared at his potato chips, pulling him back
at the same time.
Little Ning restrained himself, but his heart was turbulent and stormy: It
was over, it was over; he’d been careless for just a moment and even
forgotten about those old rumors.
––Yan Jiang and Close didn’t get along.
As early as when they were in FTW, the two of them had a precedent of not
saying a word to each other for half a month.
Later on, when the Team of Gods was disbanded, Yan Jiang had been the
first to go while Close had been the only one to stay behind.
From these details, people could infer how serious the conflict between the
two men was.
Many old fans liked to compare Yan Jiang with Close.
The Yuan Ze from the old Team of Gods was a butterfly who didn’t act
human; Xie He was a thorny hedgehog who would fight over anything;
Kim Sung-hyun was a delicate proud flower when he didn’t speak.
Only Yan Jiang and Close were both equally silent, with equally powerful
auras, and were equally able to dominate a crowd.
As the saying went, two tigers couldn’t live on the same mountain. Many
people felt that these two people were key reasons for why the Team of
Gods had split up.
Yan Jiang was someone who always meant what he said.
The Close who’d just joined the team, had been a complete lone wolf.
In this transition from the old to new, their ideas conflicted, and it would be
more strange if no problems arose.
At the time, Yan Jiang’s fans and Close’s fans tore fiercely into each other.
Yan Jiang fans: “Our Captain Yan is dedicated to FTW. Without him,
today’s FTW wouldn’t exist. The management is really messed up. Seeing
that Close has more economic value, they began to start treating the old
players like shit!”
Close fans: “Teams have to make money, too. Yan Jiang never participates
in various activities, and he doesn’t even cooperate with marketing. He’s
just a support player, what’s he acting so crazy for?”
“God Yan has the capital to be crazy!”
“Forget it, with a top-laner like Yuan Ze, a mid-laner like Xie He, an ADC
like Kim Sung-hyun, and adding on Close, they can get a world
championship with any casual support player.”
“Get the hell out. Without Captain Yan, how would they even cooperate?”
“Stop barking, Yan Dog. He’s about to transfer, and we’ll wait and see how
your number one support player manages to bring out another Team of
Gods.”
What happened after that was clear to everyone…
The Team of Gods each went their own way, and all of them made great
achievements in the international competitions. Yan Jiang built his own
team after breaking away from his Team of Gods teammates and won the
world championship in 2020. At the same time, he won the FMVP as a
support player, becoming the only support player to do so in the history of
Glory.
A support player had been able to get to this position, and nobody could
question his ability any more.
But Close…
Close, who’d stayed behind in FTW…
He experienced a three-year low.
Even if he won three singles championships, even if the name ‘Close’ was
famous worldwide, FTW and the China competition zone were gradually
disappearing from people’s eyes.
Yan Jiang was gone.
The Team of Gods had broken up.
Close couldn’t prop up the new FTW.
This was something that the Team of Gods fans couldn’t get over.
They hated Yan Jiang and also hated Close.
Over the years, many newcomers were unable to understand their feelings
from that time. Additionally, for three consecutive world games, Close had
only participated in the singles, while Yan Jiang only participated in team
events. They never encountered each other.
It was hard for these scars to disappear with time, but they could be covered
with dust, smoothed out, and become shallower.
However, once the wind scattered the dust, the scars still remained.
Ning Zhehan was young, and he’d started his career late, so he knew little
about it.
Looking at the atmosphere in the training room, he couldn’t help thinking a

lot.
It was Wei Xiao who broke the silence. He also eased up the tense
atmosphere with one sentence.
Lu Feng couldn’t bring himself to treat him coldly, no matter what.

Wei Xiao went on, “Are we going to go just because they asked us? We
don’t have time! We’re very busy!”
Lu Feng raised his eyelids and looked at him.
Wei Xiao really wished he could act spoiled and coy with him, but this
wasn’t the right place for it so he changed his words, “L&P and Pro are in
line…”
He hadn’t yet finished when Lu Feng asked him in return, “Why not have a
training match with Y1?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng looked at him, his gaze light, his tone slow and leisurely. “Last
year’s champion team, why not play against them?”
For a moment, Wei Xiao couldn’t understand what his captain meant.
Based on his expression, he was obviously unhappy, but based on his tone,
it seemed… oh, he was still unhappy; but based on the content, it was
irrefutable.
Wei Xiao’s heart was bitter. He clearly only had the captain in his heart, but
how come he inexplicably felt like a scum man who was stepping on two
boats? “Um…”
Lu Feng spoke to Xiang Liu, “When?”
Xiang Liu replied cautiously, “Tomorrow.”
Lu Feng: “Agree to them.”
Everyone at the scene: “!”
Wei Xiao blinked and looked at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng said to him, “We can’t waste the people that Quiet worked so hard
and bitterly to make a date with.”
He bit out the emphasis on ‘date’.
Wei Xiao: QAQ!
Brother Cai, who was beside him: You’re on your own, Reckless Wei!
Lu Feng gestured to Chen Feng. “Continue the replay.”
Continue? He was afraid that their team wouldn’t have a jungler king
tomorrow!
Fortunately, Wei Little Xiao had done a great job in the finals circle.
From the moment he saw Close, I Like Close The Most no longer noticed
Yan Jiang at all.
No matter how carefully he protected him in the Moonlight Wetland, no

matter how they had cooperated together in the Central Zone, in the finals
circle, Wei Xiao had turned around without acknowledging him further.
Except for Close, everyone else was just a string of symbols.
In addition, their last light arcs had filled the skies. The corners of Lu
Feng’s mouth finally loosened up a little.
Chen Feng summed up many problems, and even focused on Yan Jiang,
calling out Bai Cai several times.
“Do you see this holy priest? Go back and take a closer angle at the landing
angle of his light gate.”
Brother Cai nodded repeatedly.
If this was during normal times, Wei Xiao would definitely continue
making fun of Brother Cai’s crappy support, but he currently didn’t dare
speak. If he scolded Brother Cai, then he would be praising God Yan, and
he really didn’t want to sleep on the floor tonight since his butt still hurt!
Sleeping on the floor would make it worse!
After that, Chen Feng went on to focus on Xie He and Kim Sung-hyun.
Seeing Proud Flower Kim in the Shining Gold Temple, even the icy cold
FTW training room couldn’t resist flowing with a bit of cheerful
atmosphere.
There was no helping it, the lost flower was too funny!
It was also because he’d been abused like crazy by the maze that when Kim
Sung-hyun arrived in the Central Zone, he played an unprecedented game,
to the point where even Yue Wenle dropped his potato chips.
It was still early after they finished the game replays. Although there
weren’t any training matches, they could still go and queue as a team of five
in the professional servers to practice their line-ups.
The efficiency of queueing as a team of five was very high in the

professional servers now, and there was always a chance of running into
other teams.
Because their official names weren’t shown, there was no need to hide or
avoid anything. They could fight as hard as possible and improve their
strength.
Lu Feng had been away from the team for such a long time. Now that they
were going to queue together, he wasn’t nervous, but the others were.
Especially Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle.
These two fellows had somewhat forgotten the horror of having the great
demon king control the field. Seeing that the game was about to start, they
grew even more nervous.
And it turned out that…
The nervousness they felt was reasonable.
Lu Feng took a death knight at the start of the game and killed the other
side’s top laner in three minutes. From then on, he didn’t try to restrain
himself at all.
The red team was also queued as a team of five. They couldn’t guess who
they were up again, and they couldn’t pick up any clues from the IDs. The
top laner didn’t think too much of it after being killed and only howled,
“This top-laner is a bit strong.”
The red team jungler replied, “Stay steady. I’ll go up to support later.”
This ‘later’ was really too late.
The top-laner died, the top-laner died again. The top-laner’s mentality
exploded, “What kind of devil is this? Did I run into Marshal?!”
His own team’s jungler was also experiencing a collapse of mentality. “It
might be L&P. This berserker thief is really crazy.”
Gary was also famous as a crazy jungler, the type whose fame stretched
back all the way to his ancestors.
With such a guess, they started playing more seriously, but it was useless.
The top lane towers were taken down by Close alone, and the red team was
run ragged. The other lanes soon collapsed as well.
On FTW’s side, Wei Xiao coaxed his boyfriend, “Captain, give me a

chance, I want to support the top lane.”
Lu Feng: “Come.”
Wei Xiao rushed up as soon as he heard this. He even arranged for Brother
Cai to go to the bottom lane and help Little Lele.
And then……
System announcement: Lu killed XXX.
Lu killed XXXX.
Lu double kill.
Wei Xiao, who’d hurried over the whole way but hadn’t even managed to
get an assist: “……”
Lu Feng: “You came too late.”
What could Wei Xiao do? Wei Xiao also didn’t dare to do anything!
The murderous Close led the whole team to victory on his own.
Who said that top-laners couldn’t lead the rhythm?
Taking down all the towers in one lane was the most immortal level rhythm.
Ch174.2 - Wei Xiao: Well then, how
will President Lu punish me?
Compared with the tension Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle felt, Chen Feng, a
bystander watching the game, was even more nervous.
Brother Tang had finally taken up his coaching position. He looked at Lu

Feng’s top lane and was left breathless. “He’s really strong.”
Chen Feng: “Mm.”
There was no doubting Close’s personal strength. The two-month breath

may have left him with a bit of unfamiliarity with the game, but this
unfamiliarity was really something that could only be felt at the level of the
Team of Gods. For this kind of ordinary game, as long as the game system
and professional talents didn’t undergo any major adjustments, his strength
would not be shaken at all.
Strong was strong. Even if it was weakened by 20%, it would be

unattainable for regular players.
What Chen Feng was more concerned about was… coordination.
Putting Close on the top lane might have been the most correct choice for
FTW this year.
At one time, everyone had thought that Close was the best fit for the jungler
position. He was a natural jungler king, especially with the shadow thief,
which had basically been plastered with Close’s label and had held him up
high on the jungler pedestal, pushing him to become more and more like a
god.
However, it was an indisputable fact that the FTW team hadn’t been doing
well.
What fans could see was the dazzling, brilliant Close, the shadow thief
whose plays went all the way up to heaven but couldn’t win, and the
grievance of Close being dragged down by his teammates.
Was that really the case?
Had Close really not done anything wrong?
In fact, there was some truth in the haters’ words.
Lack of coordination was a very serious problem.
Even if he was number one in the world, he couldn’t fight one against nine.
The team competition was about the team, not about Close himself.
Unfortunately, no one dared to mention it, and even Chen Feng didn’t dare
to say anything.
Firstly, Close really hadn’t done anything wrong; secondly, Close was
FTW’s soul, and losing him would be an even more unimaginable scenario.
Fortunately, Close was more sober and aware than anyone else.
He’d never thought that the team’s poor performance was unrelated to him,
and he’d never thought that personal strength was something that should be
shown off, and he’d never thought of blaming his teammates.
He knew exactly where the roots of the problem were.
––You’re not suited to being a team competition player.
Lu Feng remembered the words that Yan Jiang had spoken to him three
years ago very clearly.
“Captain?”
This clear voice brought Lu Feng back from his thoughts.
Lu Feng turned his head and saw a pair of clean eyes that were full of
warmth.
The corners of his mouth were still taut, but his voice was much lighter.
“Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “Again?”
Lu Feng: “Continue.”
He wasn’t suited for team games, not suited for the jungler position, and not
suited for getting along with people.
But he’d met Wei Xiao.
The unique and irreplaceable Wei Xiao.
The night of training finally ended. Close used his strength to show
everyone what it meant to be filled with murderous intent.
At first, Wei Xiao still wanted to coax him. Later…
Freedom!
Happiness!
Comfort!
There were clearly three roads in the canyon, but he didn’t need to worry
about the top lane at all. He only needed to focus on the lower two lanes.
This sense of security akin to the comfort of leaning back against a big tree,
this kind of feeling where he could trust his back to someone else
completely was too satisfying.
Wei Xiao loved this feeling to death.

At eleven o’clock in the evening, Chen Feng stopped their queueing and
gave instructions for their schedule for tomorrow before letting them do
their own thing.
Xiang Liu came to look for Lu Feng. It seemed that there was something he
had to deal with.
Wei Xiao had originally wanted to go out, but he stopped and stayed in the
training room.
Ah…
It was lonely inside the empty boudoir. He might as well abuse some cubs.
Who should he abuse?
Little Ning’s back tensed up.
Wei Xiao: “Solo?”
Ning Zhehan: “… Brother Xiao.”
Although he didn’t know how he’d offended him, Little Ning’s self-
preservation radar was filling his mind with ‘danger ahead’ signs.
Wei Xiao smiled superficially.
Ning Zhehan gritted his teeth and said, “Can we not use the shadow thief?”
And then……
Ning Zhehan was abused by the immortal warlock.
Why QwQ.
Why was it the immortal warlock QwQ.

It would’ve been better to be smeared into the ground by the shadow thief
instead QwQ.
Although Glory had launched the big brawl mode, it hadn’t removed the
previous solo mode.
It was just that it was now a lot simpler. There was no need to push the
towers any more, and players would already be in full gear when they
entered the arena. They could fight as soon as they met.
There was no need to farm, no farm calculations, just plays and amazing
operations.
In reality, this game mode was a bit monotonous, but it was also more
straightforward.
Before, each game still took around 20 minutes. Now…
In 20 minutes, Wei Xiao screwed Ning Zhehan 10 times.
Oh, he screwed him to death 10 times.
Um… it seemed that something still wasn’t right.
After getting revenge, Wei Xiao couldn’t make himself stay in the training
room any more. He sent a message to Lu Feng, “Captain~”
Lu Feng: “Come up.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up. “Back to the room? I’m going up now!”
Lu Feng: “Office.”
Wei Xiao felt a sense of loss, but he blinked again quickly. “You’re alone?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao didn’t reply to him and directly snuck away to go upstairs.
The training room was on the second floor, and the office area was on the
fourth floor.
When Wei Xiao went past the third floor, he ran into Bai Cai.
Brother Cai, who’d just pushed open his door: “…..”
Wei Xiao quickly entrusted him with a task. “Brother Soy will sleep with
you tonight.”
Bai Cai’s lips twitched. “You…”
Wei Xiao shot him a look. “You’re a good brother~!”
Brother Cai almost threw up. “Get lost!”
Damn it, he was really inhuman. They’d just spent three days and three
nights stuck together, but he still had to go and pester the captain now?
How should he say it?
Was it that Little Beast Wei was naturally talented or that the great demon
king hadn’t fed him well enough?
Brother Cai thought about the captain’s physique that wasn’t short on breath
even after running five kilometers…
Okay then, Little Lunatic Wei wasn’t human!
Wei Xiao was slightly delayed, but when he arrived at the office, he found
that Lu Feng had left the door open for him.
He peeked in, then slipped in and found that Lu Feng was on the phone.
It was already midnight. Who would call the captain so late?
Wei Xiao kept his movements light, afraid of disturbing Lu Feng.

The lighting in the office was very bright. Lu Feng stood by the window,
and it was dark outside. He held a cell phone in one hand, and his jaw was a
little tense, making his angular face even more prominent, outlined by the
night.
He stood with his back to the light, and half of his face was in the dark. His
eyelashes were coated with light, draping shadows beneath his eyes.
Wei Xiao stopped his steps and didn’t dare to go over.
For some reason, the current Lu Feng made him feel a bit like they were
strangers.
Lu Feng’s voice was very cold. It wasn’t the usual coldness where he
restrained his emotions, but a coldness used to suppress something. It was
so cold that it made him feel heartache.
“Four seasons.”
“I know.”
“No.”
“Mm.”
Wei Xiao didn’t know who he was calling, and he didn’t know what they
were talking about. He just knew that Lu Feng was in a bad mood.
It wasn’t the same kind of bad mood as the training room. He was really in
a terrible mood.
Lu Feng hung up the phone and noticed Wei Xiao standing by the door in a
daze.
Wei Xiao came back to his senses and came over, asking, “What’s the
matter?”
Lu Feng’s thoughts were scattered for a moment, but he soon put away the
cold feeling, holding him by the wrist. “It’s nothing.”
He pulled Wei Xiao to his side and kissed him on the lips.
Wei Xiao followed suit and relaxed somewhat, but his heart was still on
other things. “You have to tell me if something’s up.”
Lu Feng smiled, “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “Happy things, unhappy things, you have to tell me all of it.”
Lu Feng paused briefly, then agreed, “Okay.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved, “In that case, let me ask, why is Mr. Lu angry?”
Lu Feng pinched his pale fingers. “Don’t you know?”
They weren’t in the training room any more, and Wei Xiao didn’t back
down. “Me and Captain Yan are clean and pure. Where did you eat that
flying vinegar from?”
Lu Feng: “It is quite clean and pure. You only acted like a knight for him in
the Moonlight Wetland, and then you were so intimate there was no space
between you two in the Central Zone.”
As the saying went, it was better to do than to say, and it was better to do
things more than once than to just do it once.
Wei Xiao leaned back against the desk, pulling Lu Feng over by his shirt.
He licked his lower lip, “Well then, how will President Lu punish me?”
This cry of ‘President Lu’ made Lu Feng’s eyes darken.
Wei Xiao felt inspired. He purposely leaned into his ear and asked, “Is there
a camera in the room?”
Lu Feng: “No.”
Wei Xiao’s voice grew even lighter, and his hint couldn’t be any more
obvious. “I locked the door.”
Lu Feng held him by the waist and set him down on the desk.
Wei Xiao really wasn’t afraid of death. He wrapped his legs around him and
leaned up to kiss him.
Lu Feng held the back of his head and kissed him until he moaned.
His body was pasted on the cold desk, documents were swept to the ground,
and even the all-in-one printing machine shook a good many times.
There were no cameras in Lu Feng’s private office, the door was locked,
and the automatic curtains slowly closed, blocking out the moonlight and
the stars.
The only drawback was that the soundproofing here was very average.
Wei Xiao tried to bear it and moaned quietly.
At first, Lu Feng was afraid of hurting him and wanted to take him to the
sofa, but Wei Xiao narrowed his eyes at him. “President Lu…”
Lu Feng lifted his gaze and looked at him.
Wei Xiao bit his lower lip and said shamelessly, “I want to dirty your desk.”
Lu Feng blocked his mouth so that he couldn’t say another complete

sentence.
Later on…
What later on could there be.
They had a great time in the office.
xiin: office sex, check.

Ch175.1 - 18 was an age for soaring
into the skies.
As Wei Xiao wished, the desk ended up a mess. Of course, he himself

wasn’t much better.
Fortunately, Lu Feng’s suite was also upstairs. The two of them avoided
everyone as they went over there.
After cleaning up, Wei Xiao was very satisfied, and his mouth started to act
up again, “Captain…”
Lu Feng was helping him wipe his hair. “Mm?”
Wei Xiao bowed his head, his gaze landing perfectly on his strong
abdomen. His throat went dry. “You’re so powerful.”
Lu Feng’s movements paused. “Behave.”
Wei Xiao poked him.
Wei Xiao plastered his palm over him.
Lu Feng took down the towel and lowered his eyes to look at him.
Wei Xiao blinked at him and smiled evilly. “What, didn’t you get enough
just now?”
Lu Feng breathed in lightly and didn’t reply.
Wei Xiao held it. “You’re really so hard…”

Lu Feng’s voice was a little unsteady. “Don’t mess around.”
Wei Xiao: “Can you sleep like this?”
Lu Feng: “There’s a training match tomorrow.”
Wei Xiao sat down on his body, his tone sultry, “Then be a little gentler.”
Lu Feng dropped his head and bit down on his thin shoulder.
Wei Xiao didn’t feel any pain at all, but his heart itched badly.
Doing it in the office was exciting, but Lu Feng had a lot of scruples. For
one, the desk was too hard, and secondly, the sound insulation was too poor.
Lu Feng was worried that Wei Xiao would suffer and didn’t want anyone to
hear his voice, so he restrained himself and coaxed him to go upstairs after
Wei Xiao had ‘finished’.
Now, they were on a bed, on their own floor, and the sound insulation was
very good here.
Lu Feng had already been holding back for a while. How could he stand
Wei Xiao’s provocation…
After that, Wei Xiao cried so hard that his pillow was drenched.
His voice was hoarse, and he buried his face against Lu Feng’s shoulder.
His mouth spoke messy words, “… Do you just like hearing me moan.”
Lu Feng patted him lightly. “Shut up.”
Wei Xiao: “You don’t shoot when I shut up.”
Lu Feng stopped walking to the bathroom.
At the end of the day, Wei Xiao was still a little scared. He quickly begged
for mercy, “No, no, I really can’t this time!”
If they went on, not only would there be no training match tomorrow, he
wouldn’t even be able to get out of bed.
Lu Feng had always had self restraint. Although he’d repeatedly broken his
own rules time and again when it came to Wei Xiao, he still had some sense
of propriety.
He prepared well beforehand and also cleaned up properly afterwards.
Wei Xiao only knew to go crazy, but he didn’t realize that the only reason
he dared to do so was entirely due to the fact that Lu Feng ensured he had
nothing to worry about.
The satisfied Wei Xiao fell asleep in bed.
Lu Feng applied medicine for him, and this brat continued moaning in his
sleep, calling out ‘captain’ in a spoiled tone like a little kitten, making Lu
Feng heat up again.
There was one thing that Wei Xiao had said right.
Lu Feng liked listening to his voice.
But then, was there anything about him that Lu Feng didn’t like?
Lu Feng cuddled him and waited until he was completely asleep before
getting up and going to the balcony.
It had rained that evening, and the originally hot and dry weather had
cooled down.
At this time, the rain had stopped, and the damp outside was infused with
the scent of greenery and flowers, leaving behind a little bit of an earthy
aftertaste in the air.
It didn’t smell bad and could even be called refreshing. It was able to
slowly calm a person’s heart.
The FTW base was located in the outskirts of the city. It was very quiet, and
although the rain had stopped, dark clouds still blocked the stars and the
moon.
The night sky was dark, like the sea in winter.
Lu Feng leaned forward, his palms on the railings. His eyes were deeper
than the night as he stared into the empty distance.
“This is the fourth season, right.”
“Lu Feng, our agreement is about to expire.”
“Why cling to these things?”
“It’s your father’s birthday next month. Will you come back?”
“Forget it, then.”
That woman’s cold voice echoed in Lu Feng’s mind. Lu Feng, who’d

listened to every word, only felt a sense of detachment.
These were his relatives, the people who’d watched him grow up from
childhood, but he only felt a sense of detachment and indifference towards
them.
Lu Feng’s hand suddenly used force, grasping the cold railing tight.
The light from the room landed on the back of his cold, pale hand. His
knuckles bulged, and the veins on his hand stood out like bruises.
Dull pain came from his left shoulder. The blue-purple scars had been gone
for a long time, and the internal injuries had also gradually recovered
through physiotherapy. It would no longer affect him, but the stinging pain
was like worms wriggling inside his bones and couldn’t be eradicated.
A foggy, rainy night, an empty balcony.
18 was an age for soaring into the skies.

But his wings had been broken by his father.
After waking up, Wei Xiao was refreshed and filled with energy.
When it came to pain, it really turned out that it would start feeling good as
time went on.
Wei Xiao was getting more and more used to it. The original hot, burning
pain had been replaced by a slight swelling pain alone.
Tsk…
Wei Xiao sent Lu Feng a message, “I’m really gifted.”
Lu Feng, who was working: “……”
Another message flew in, “I can actually take your big guy.”
Lu Feng flipped the phone over so that it faced the desk.
After harassing the captain, Wei Xiao hummed a song and went to wash up.
When he was about to go upstairs, his boyfriend replied to him, “Wait until
the off-season.”
At first, Wei Xiao didn’t know what he was talking about. He then linked it
up with the context, and his eyes curved. “Oh, duckie~” He even sent an
expression pack of a wrestling duck.
Wei Xiao was really asking for it. “Then I’ll be waiting for a boyfriend who
goes all out.”
This sentence held a double entendre. Those who understood it would

naturally understand it.
Lu Feng: “Brat.”
Wei Xiao was fearless. It was as though the one who’d been crying for
mercy last night wasn’t him.
This conversation couldn’t be continued. Lu Feng diverted the topic,

“Going downstairs?” The dining area was on the first floor.
Wei Xiao leaned against the side of the stairs. “I’m about to go eat.”
Lu Feng: “Wait for me.”
Unfortunately, having a sweet meal for two was impossible. Firstly, there
was Brother Cai, who yawned as he went downstairs. Wei Xiao was just
about to drive him away when Little Ning and Old Yue came over, shoulder
to shoulder. Little Ning, who knew nothing: “Brother Xiao, has your
stomach not recovered yet?”
Bai Cai helped him answer, “He’s eating lighter foods to nourish his
stomach.”
Wei Xiao cleared his throat and agreed, “Mm.”
His stomach was very good, but eating light was conducive for his long-
term development.
Fortunately, Wei Xiao’s tastes had never been that heavy, and it could
almost be said that he didn’t have much interest in food and could eat
anything.
By the time Lu Feng came downstairs, Little Ning was eating quietly.
At first, Wei Xiao tried his best to stay steady and not flirt with the captain,
but later…
To hell with staying steady. He’d fed the captain celery during the winter
training camp, so why couldn’t he feed him watermelon now?!
As a person, he had to be frank and magnanimous, and leave any feelings of
guilt far behind!
Due to the time difference, the training match between FTW and Y1 would
be held in the evening.
The time difference between the two sides was about six or seven hours. On
FTW’s side, it was eight o’clock in the evening, and it was early afternoon
for Y1. This timing was quite suitable.
FTW and 3U had played all afternoon. Their win rate was about 70-30.
FTW naturally accounted for the 70%.
Chen Feng’s tight nerves finally loosened somewhat.
After Close returned, the team would definitely need some time to get used
to each other again.
Fortunately, Bai Cai and Yue Wenle were able to adapt to Lu Feng, and
there was even less need to mention Wei Xiao, who understood Close better
than anyone else.
Only Ning Zhehan was a bit awkward, but it wasn’t a fatal problem and
wouldn’t cause problems for training matches and domestic games.
As for the globals…
They could take their time. They had enough time!
FTW had enough of a base now, and their line-up today was the strongest in
China.
If they played enough to build up more cooperation and tacit understanding,

they might really be able to win the world championships.
Chen Feng’s heart surged every time he thought about it.
Three years.
Three world games!
The China competition zone, FTW, Close…
They needed a real championship!
It was soon eight o’clock after they had dinner.
The two sides had already gotten in touch. FTW logged into the
international server and opened up a locked room.
They could also open a room in the professional server, but there were too
many people watching that server, so it was better to hide in the
international servers.
However, some fans still discovered it.
Post after post piled up under the FTW keyword.
“Report! FTW’s five starters opened up a locked room!”
“That’s normal, the playoffs are going to start soon. They must be having
training matches every day.”
“It’s in the international servers!”
“Holy shit… which team is it?”
“Is it L&P or Pro?”
Due to the winter training camp, these two teams now had close
relationships with FTW.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t see the other team in the locked room. No
matter how much the fans guessed, they couldn’t figure out who FTW was
having a training match with.
It didn’t take long before the logic emperors came out to speak on the topic.
“It’s about to be 8AM in North America. L&P wouldn’t make a training
appointment at this time even if they went crazy.”
“Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran are currently playing doubles in the big
brawl. It’s definitely not them.” They were even streaming it.
“It’s not L&P, and it’s not Pro, then…”
“Report! Team Y1’s five starters are all online!”
The fans were all going crazy, “It can’t be, it can’t be, it absolutely can’t be
Y1.”
“Y1 against FTW? Wake up, Feng-Yan sisters, your house has collapsed a
long time ago and won’t be built up again in this lifetime!”
“I don’t believe it. It can’t be Y1. If it’s Y1, then I… I… I’m going to
f*cking faint from anger!”
They would really be very angry. Y1 vs FTW was one of the dream games
for old Glory fans.
Yet as a result, the two teams had snuck off for a training match, and the
fans couldn’t even watch it. It was more than being dizzy with anger; they
were about to spiral up and explode on the spot, okay?!
Some people were calm. “It might really be Y1.”
“Don’t just stare at Yan Jiang and Close. Think about our sweet Swallowtail
CP from the opening game.”
“……”
“………………”
“………………………………”
“Holy shit, it’s not impossible!”

If there weren’t any grudges or grievances between Yan Jiang and Wei Xiao
from the opening game, the fans probably wouldn’t believe that Y1 would
play in a training match with FTW in this lifetime.
But…
Wei Xiao had that ability to tease others like it didn’t cost money, and there
was the way he’d used and abused him. There was also that way he’d acted
like he was no longer interested in God Yan as soon as he saw Close, and
that ‘prisoner’ control in the finals circle.
Some fans were already starting to smash their keyboards.
So angry!
So hateful!
It was the decisive battle of the century, but they couldn’t watch it!
Ch175.2 - After all, this little
lunatic wasn’t like ordinary people.
No matter how the fans guessed at the truth, the training match that had
been scheduled was still in progress.
The players from both teams all arrived and soon entered the BP stage.
Chen Feng was ready and waiting, writing and scribbling on his iPad. His
posture was akin to his readiness for a formal competition.
Oh… Something was missing compared to an official competition. For

better or worse, there was no soul-sucking poster.
Although FTW had never played against Y1, Y1 was a powerful global
team, and Chen Feng had done a lot of homework on them.
He hadn’t only studied Y1 because they wanted to target the global games,
but also because they could draw experience for themselves from watching
strong teams fight.
Y1 was also known as the routine kaleidoscope. The domestic routine

emperor, TPT, was like a junior school student when compared with Y1.
It wasn’t that Fu Li’s brain wasn’t as good as Yan Jiang’s, but that his
hardware was a little worse. At the end of the day, a mid-laner didn’t have
the same overall grasp of the situation as a support player.
In fact, the BP link was very relaxed when playing against Y1.
This was because there was nothing to target. No matter what line-up they
took, Yan Jiang could easily make up for his team’s shortfalls in the match.
This was an extremely overbearing ability.
Instead, FTW needed to pay more attention on how to obtain a comfortable
line-up for themselves.
Unfortunately, Y1 was very clever. Those who were familiar with routines
could see their intentions during the BP link even if they didn’t understand
FTW as a team.
After a surge of dark undercurrents, the c-positions for both sides were
settled.
Chen Feng hesitated over his own jungler position.
Wei Xiao was fearless. “Take the shadow thief!” He was starting to get the
hang of the nine light arcs and wanted to practice it.
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Chen Feng couldn’t resist. “To take the shadow thief in front of Yan
Jiang…”
Wei Xiao understood. “Have Old Bai take the cleanse priest?”
Chen Feng’s concerns were reasonable. Wei Xiao’s shadow thief was very
strong, but if the shadow thief wanted to brush enough light arcs, it needed
to be able to play out a series of moves.
Once he was controlled during a combo, then he’d be done for.
When facing other players, Wei Xiao’s positioning was like a fish
swimming in water. He could easily avoid their control skills.
When facing Yan Jiang, a man who understood the shadow thief down to
his bones, how would Wei Xiao be able to avoid it?
Let alone nine light arcs; Chen Feng was afraid that Wei Xiao would end up
with psychological trauma and not dare to use the shadow thief ever again.
Wei Xiao had also seen Yan Jiang’s control before so he was very clear
about what he might encounter during the match.
As a support hero, the cleanse priest was still considered quite mainstream.
Many teams would use it during the season.
If there were strong control skills, then there would also be cleansing skills.
Wei Xiao couldn’t take any additional cleansing skills because he was
playing jungler and could only rely on his support player for assistance.
There were two ways for the cleanse priest to clear controls. One was its
ultimate move, which would cleanse all teammates within range, and the
other was played out through a series of moves and could store a cleanse
that could be applied to avoid control.
The cleanse priest was a support hero that relied on operations. Of course,
this micro level wasn’t much for professional players and Brother Cai could
use it.
Chen Feng shook his head. “Unless it’s a last resort, don’t use things like
the cleanse priest with Yan Jiang.”
The cleanse priest had clear advantages––it could be used against teams
with strong control, but it also had a terrible disadvantage––it had zero
control skills and no healing.
A support position in Glory had several important key attributes. One was
control, and the other was healing. The rest such as shields, defense, and
buff stacks could also enhance their teammates’ abilities. With the cleanse
priest, other than its ability to remove controls, its only other advantage was
its high survivability.
This attribute was more suited for casual players. Players would happily use
the cleanse priest because it didn’t die easily and didn’t need to rely on its
teammates too much.
But when it was used in a team game, one bad operation could cause the
team to break apart.
Without any control skills, it couldn’t start a group fight.
Without healing, it couldn’t help extend teammates’ lives.
If it was just used for cleansing, then it was also very difficult for it to target
Yan Jiang.
Other support control rates were at 30% so the cleanse priest could lead his
teammates to kill and succeed after dealing with a key control.
But Yan Jiang’s precision level was at 70%, which made the cleanse priest’s
single team cleanse skill appear insufficient.
Close knew Yan Jiang very well, which was why he said that they shouldn’t
take the cleanse priest unless absolutely necessary.
It was very likely that they would only solve minor problems without
dealing with the major ones.
But Wei Xiao was still eager to go. “I want to give it a try.”
They would encounter them sooner or later. If he fell sooner, then he could
climb back up again sooner.
Chen Feng thought about it and gritted his teeth. “Fine.”
He believed in Little Lunatic Wei. After all, this little lunatic wasn’t like
ordinary people.
Their line-ups were determined.
FTW: Space warrior, shadow thief, spirit mage, holy priest, frost hunter.
Y1: Death knight, power thief, earth mage, elemental shaman, gold hunter.
Yan Jiang took the elemental shaman, and Chen Feng’s brows jumped up.
Y1 had a habit, a habit that everyone knew, but could do nothing about––
Their support would always be the last to pick a hero, and they were never
anxious.
Everyone knew about this habit, but they weren’t able to do anything about
it.
Just like FTW in the China competition zone; if the last position to pick a
hero was their jungler position, then they could disregard all else arbitrarily
and let Close take whatever he liked.
It was the same for Y1, and what made it even more terrifying was that they
could be equally arbitrary and willful in the global games.
It couldn’t really be considered willful. After all, Yan Jiang’s support was
the core of the team.
However, this core could change a lot.
There were two players in Glory who had taken the elemental shaman and
made great use of it.
One was Pro’s Li Heran. In the doubles, the elemental shaman could
essentially give Kim Sung-hyun ten lives, letting him beat up the other side
until they were left dizzy.
The other was Yan Jiang, who’d maintained a 100% win rate with it in team
competitions.
Wei Xiao breathed lightly. “Let’s go.”
Everyone grew serious. “Okay!”
Although it was a training match, since they’d been given this chance to
fight against the strongest team in the world, they had to do their best!
The start of the game was unexpectedly smooth.
The three lanes went up against each other and provided vision where they
should. Their development was relatively stable.
Lu Feng had taken the space warrior in this game. Most top-laners would
call this hero the gun warrior, because his weapon was a spear gun that had
a relatively long range of attack, and its ultimate move was also quite
unique.
The space warrior’s ultimate move was to break through air, tear open
space, and move a friendly unit in a certain direction. The range for this
skill covered nearly half the canyon, making it very strong when used well.
FTW had been practicing with this routine lately, and they were quite
proficient with it, but it was still unknown how they were going to play it
today.
Although it was just a training match held at home, Chen Feng still
followed the rules of the competition and sat on the other side so that he
wouldn’t interfere with their game.
From the overall perspective, Chen Feng could see more of the game, but
reminding them of things at this time was meaningless. If they cheated and
won this game, then what? It wasn’t as though they were afraid of losing in
a training match.
As Chen Feng had expected, it was impossible to compare the vision that
Brother Cai provided with Yan Jiang’s.
One of the vision traps placed in the small dragon cave disappeared.
Brother Cai gave an alert, “Old Wei, be careful in the bottom jungle zone.”
Wei Xiao was staring at it fixedly. He also told Ning Zhehan, “Pay attention
to the bushes to the right.”
Ning Zhehan was very nervous, and his eyes didn’t even blink as he
watched closely.
During a break in their communication, Wei Xiao inexplicably felt a

tingling numbness in his scalp. After that, a dark, black totem landed at his
feet.
He used sudden strike and displacement, giving up the stone monster to step
away from the totem’s range, but it was as though the skill had grown a pair
of eyes and could clearly see through his intentions; the flying totem split
into two and attached itself to the shadow thief’s ankle.
Black fog billowed up, and the toxin entered his body along his ankle. Wei
Xiao entered a frozen state.
Ning Zhehan tried to rush over, but Y1’s mid-laner tossed down an earth
splitter at the spirit mage, and Little Ning’s original forward rolling action
was forced into becoming a backwards rolling action.
This one step back turned his attempt to support Wei Xiao into nothing but
a dream.
Bai Cai’s expression was shocked. “When did he get there!”
The elemental shaman had clearly just been at the bottom lane. How had he
crossed the dragon cave and gotten to the red jungle zone in the blink of an
eye?
But now wasn’t the time to think about this. If he still didn’t go and provide
support, then Wei Xiao would be dead for nothing.
Indeed…
There was no way that Wei Xiao could survive. Being locked in place by
the elemental shaman was enough time for the power thief to sweep in and
send him on his way.
Lu Feng’s low voice sounded out in their headsets, “Bai Cai and Yue
Wenle, put pressure on your lane. Wei Xiao, enter stealth mode.”
In the next second, a huge silver gate opened up behind him.

The shadow thief who was controlled by the elemental shaman couldn’t
move at all, but he didn’t need to move. A white palm stretched out from
behind the silver gate, light flashed, and the palm sucked backwards,
pulling the shadow thief in with it.
Space breaking gate!
Close used this skill at the maximum range and teleported the seriously
injured shadow thief over to himself.
Ch176.1 - Three years later, these
two faced off for the first time.
This space breaking gate had been placed perfectly.
The distance between Lu Feng and Wei Xiao just now could be said to be at
the maximum range for the skill. One was on the top lane, while and the
other was in the bottom jungle zone, and the distance between them
spanned nearly the entire map.
Under normal circumstances, the top-laner couldn’t provide support for a

fight in the lower jungle zone, but the space warrior could.
He could break open space and save someone at the tipping point between
life and death.
Tang Chen, who was to the side, lowered his voice and said, “This
operation really pushes the limits.”
As another top-laner, he could see more details.
Without mentioning how Close had managed to reach level six in such a
short time, just releasing this wave of skills was very astounding.
The space breaking gate had a very wide range, but it also had very
powerful limitations.
How to release this skill within an effective distance, how to release it at the
right moment, how to grasp Wei Xiao accurately…
All of these things required operational skills.

Not to mention ordinary players, even Tang Chen, who’d been playing as a
top-laner for so many years, had no confidence that he’d be able to pull it
off.
The failure rate was too high, and there was a 90% chance that the ultimate
move might be wasted and drag back nothing but a corpse.
Indeed.
The space breaking gate couldn’t be cancelled, even if what it dragged back
was a teammate’s corpse.
Wei Xiao’s health had dropped too quickly. As long as Lu Feng had
miscalculated even slightly, then it would have all been in vain.
Sometimes, a 5v5 team fight was like a series of dominoes. If one of the
dominoes in front fell down, then everything else would collapse, and it
would be difficult to save anything.
Therefore, most players sought stability; if they could maintain the rhythm,
then they wouldn’t try to strive for greater benefits.
Close clearly hadn’t done so.
He wouldn’t give up any chance and was also confident enough to show off
such extreme operations.
The space breaking gate saved the shadow thief.
Close’s previous words weren’t in vain. There was a reason why he’d had
Wei Xiao enter stealth mode.
The reason?
In order not to waste time, Close had opened the space breaking gate from
the big dragon cave so Wei Xiao was faced with an ancient creature as soon
as he landed.
If Wei Xiao wasn’t in stealth mode, then he wouldn’t have been released
from combat mode. If he was still in combat mode, then he would have
aggro-ed the ancient creature.
Based on the tiny sliver of health he had left, he’d be done for as soon as
the ancient creature scratched him with a paw!
Then he’d really be dead.
Chen Feng, who was settled on a sofa in the corner, bit his thumb.
“Impulsive!”
Tang Chen laughed easily. “It’s not considered impulsive if he succeeds.”
In Chen Feng’s eyes, this wave of operations was simply crazy.
Close’s operations had really reached the limit, but the key to whether he
could save Wei Xiao or not depended on Wei Xiao’s cooperation.
If Wei Xiao’s reaction wasn’t fast enough or if his hand speed was
insufficient, he wouldn’t have been able to open up stealth the moment he
came out of the space breaking gate. In that case, all of his previous efforts
would be wasted.
Fortunately, the two of them were able to do it, executing the maneuver
precisely.
If this scene took place in a proper game, in the high-profile competitive

arena, it would likely make the audience go crazy and be included in the
global wonderful cuts collection. The fans in the China competition zone
would also be able to praise it for a whole year!
Close and Quiet were shoulder to shoulder as they left the dragon cave
together.
Chen Feng could see a wider perspective, and his pupils contracted fiercely.
“Not good!”
Who was Yan Jiang?

What kind of team was Y1?
They were last year’s FMVP, last year’s global champion team. Would they
let them go so easily?
Almost instantly, while Wei Xiao remained in stealth looking for a safe
place to return back to the base, two beams of light fell to the ground. The
elemental shaman and the power thief arrived at Y1’s top-laner’s side at the
same time.
What made the situation more deadly was that Y1’s top-laner was very
close to Close. It was obvious that he’d received instructions to lock in on
the space breaking gate’s position.
Tang Chen took a breath. “Old Yan may be old, but he’s still vigorous.”
As an old teammate, Tang Chen couldn’t say that he was unfamiliar with
Yan Jiang.
This former captain of his was very powerful. The feeling of being his
teammate versus the feeling of being his opponent was very different.
Precise control, a prediction ability that could anticipate what others would
do, and a certain strong understanding of all the talents, professions, and
skills.
He’d obviously guessed Close’s position when he saw the space breaking
gate appear behind Wei Xiao.
The space breaking gate’s range was 80 yards, with Wei Xiao as the end
point. Considering the fact that Close was in the top lane and that the skill
operated within a circular radius, if he wanted to open the space breaking
gate within the shortest amount of time, over the most extreme distance,
then there was only one possible point they could be at.
Yan Jiang opened up the minimap and accurately pinpointed the big dragon
cave.
Y1’s top-laner was very attentive and had already sped over, and when he
was in place, Yan Jiang and their jungler teleported over at the same time.
Once their teleport skill finished casting, they landed only half a second
later than Wei Xiao.
The situation changed dramatically!
Close saved Wei Xiao, but the two of them were now under attack.
The situation was now very dangerous.
In the mid-lane, Ning Zhehan was being completely blocked from leaving.
In the bottom lane, Bai Cai and Yue Wenle were up against Y1’s ADC but
couldn’t gain much of an advantage.
Outside the top lane’s dragon pit, Close and Quiet were faced with Y1’s
top-laner, jungler, and support. It was an absolute hell mode situation.
Lu Feng: “Stand back.”
He said this to Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao inexplicably thought of how he’d saved Yan Jiang that time in the
opening game. It had also been one against three, but the situation wasn’t
the same. He had equipment and skills in the big brawl, but this was now a
5v5 game, and it was impossible to fight 1v3.
However, although he was thinking that, Wei Xiao was actually very calm.
He was in critical health and would just be sending himself to his death if
he went up now. It would be better if he took advantage of the fact that his
stealth state hadn’t been broken yet and quickly slipped away.
The captain had worked so hard to save his life. He couldn’t just give it to
the other side for nothing.
Wei Xiao retreated. Chen Feng let out a breath of relief. “That’s good.”
Close might not be able to leave, but from an overall perspective, keeping
Quiet alive was still the best option.
The shadow thief urgently needed to develop. It was a talent that relied a lot
on its farm, and once it died in the early stages, it would lose its jungle
clearing rhythm. Once its level and equipment were unable to keep up, the
power of its light arcs would be reduced greatly, and it wouldn’t be able to
deal out any damage at all.
It was different for the space warrior. This was a talent that tended towards
functionality. Even if it didn’t have as much farm, Close’s micro operations
could still produce amazing results.
This round of exchanges was already pretty good. It had already been the
best choice they could make.
However, Close never thought of dying so simply.
At the moment when Wei Xiao retreated in stealth mode, his spear gun
landed on the ground, inserting itself in front of the elemental shaman.
There was a bang as special effects exploded, just like a loud provocation.
FTW.Close.
Y1.Yan
Three years later, these two faced off for the first time.
A top-laner and a support. Could they fight?
They could. What they played with weren’t skills but psychological games.
Lu Feng forced the elemental shaman to retreat, and Yan Jiang changed the
direction of his spell cast. The totem that he’d been planning to toss at Wei
Xiao was now inserted at Lu Feng’s feet.
The space warrior was guided by its gun and would attack where the gun
landed. There would be no mistakes.
But when it came to things that even ordinary support players could do, Yan
Jiang naturally wouldn’t make any mistakes, either.
The daze totem landed on Lu Feng, forcing his body to go out of control for
a short time. At the same time, the power thief and the death knight’s
damage swept over, causing the space warrior’s health to drop sharply.
Under normal circumstances, few players would surround and fight a space
warrior because his ultimate move could easily allow him to escape super
far away, at a distance their enemies couldn’t catch.
But…
Close had used his life-saving skill on Wei Xiao. At this time, he only had a
very short movement skill that could be used with his spear gun. It would
be very difficult for him to escape from this group fight.
Chen Feng suddenly felt a bit reluctant to watch on.
How many times had the elemental shaman accompanied Close to get triple
kills, quadrakills, and even pentakills in the past?
But now, today’s elemental shaman’s totems had turned black and were
filled with the heavy aura of death as they landed on Close’s body.
He didn’t know why, but Chen Feng’s heart felt extra chaotic when he
thought of Close dying at Yan Jiang’s hands.
Yuan Ze, Xie He, and Kim Sung-hyun may have refused to take part in the
singles competition due to guilt.
However, when it came to Yan Jiang, it was simply that he didn’t want to
participate.
Yuan Ze had vaguely guessed at what the 18 year old Close wanted to do.
But Yan Jiang had said to Close directly, “It’s not necessary.”
He was very clear about what Lu Feng was trying to do and knew exactly
what he wanted to protect, but he’d already signed a transfer contract and
was the first person to decide to leave.
Not necessary.
Was being so persistent unnecessary?
Was protecting what he wanted to protect unnecessary?
Was sticking with FTW so unnecessary?
Chen Feng didn’t know, and he didn’t think Close knew, either.
Tang Chen’s voice called him out of his thoughts, “He made it out alive!”
Chen Feng looked up sharply and saw that Close had managed to escape
with a sliver of health left.
His eyes widened slightly; he was a little dumbfounded.
Tang Chen’s voice was excited, “The space warrior’s attack was a bluff!
Old Yan got tricked. I always feel that Close has been led astray by Little
Lunatic Wei that even I believed his act just now!”
Chen Feng steadied himself and looked over, but he’d already missed the
wonderful scene from earlier.
Ch176.2 - A person who is
immersed in the past can’t win the
future.
Based on their understanding of Lu Feng, he would definitely rush up with

a set of skills to trade his life for at least one of their opponents.
Just now, Close had indeed fought fiercely, but it was an act.
When the gun landed on the ground, if he’d moved to the elemental shaman
and smashed down a set of skills, he might have been able to take Yan Jiang
down before he died, since the elemental shaman’s health wasn’t in a good
state after throwing out so many totems.
Reasonably speaking, it was a major loss to trade a top-laner’s life for a

support’s, but in this situation where Close’s death was inevitable, taking
down anyone else’s life was still better than nothing. Not to mention that
the man in front of him was Y1’s core.
If he could drag him down to die with him, he could at least hurt Y1’s
momentum a little.
That was what Chen Feng and Tang Chen thought, and the four little ones
from FTW thought so as well. Even Y1 thought this way.
Unexpectedly, Close stopped after playing out a set of skills. He originally

should’ve continued poking at Yan Jiang with his spear gun, but instead, it
shot out at an angle that went beyond their expectations.
Yan Jiang was stunned for a brief moment.
Y1’s jungler made a small sound.

They watched as the space warrior shifted, then landed after with his spear
gun, his figure having shifted to a position behind the three players.
Y1’s top-laner reacted quickly enough and turned his warrior’s horse
around, wanting to charge over and prevent Close from leaving.
There was a patch of bushes up ahead. Close picked up his spear gun and
used another shot to move into the bushes, leaving their field of vision.
The death knight still wanted to pursue.
Yan Jiang: “Forget it.”
Death knight: “?”
Yan Jiang: “Take down the tower.”
Instead of wasting time on chasing Close, it was better to take down FTW’s
first top lane tower.
On FTW’s side, Wei Xiao stood at the resurrection fountain and cheered for
Close, “Captain is so handsome!”
Wei Xiao: “I’m so angry, Captain Yan is breaking us up, we, this pair of
mandarin ducks!”
Brother Cai’s premonition had been correct. Choosing silence in advance

was the right choice!
Y1’s rhythm was very good, but FTW’s wasn’t bad either.
If this section was released out for various famous commentators to see,
then they would definitely have a lot of material to boast with.
Each aspect of the fight was very detailed, and every detail was pushed to
the extremes. It was extremely exciting.
But in the end, Y1 was dominant.
Yan Jiang’s real-time judgement ability was very strong, and giving up on
chasing Close was the correct choice,
The death knight may not be able to catch up with the space warrior, but the
three of them could definitely take down the first tower in the top lane.
One option had an unknown result, but the other was 100% certain.
If they really went after Close, they’d have fallen for his trap instead.
After one encounter that spanned from the lower jungle zone to the upper
jungle zone, both sides suffered zero deaths, and the only loss was FTW’s
top lane tower.
This was already the best result.
Even if it left FTW with an open wound.
After escaping with his life, Wei Xiao began to focus on developing.
He soon realized how those people who’d been controlled into seclusion by
Yan Jiang felt during the opening game.
He couldn’t guess Yan Jiang’s position, couldn’t target his vision, and he
was even less able to kill the teammates Yan Jiang was guarding.
When Wei Xiao went to support Ning Zhehan, Y1’s mid-laner wasn’t
anxious or hurried and casually tossed out a skill, but it perfectly coincided
with Yan Jiang’s control and beat Ning Zhehan up until ended up crying
out, “What’s with this? It’s unrealistic!”
Wei Xiao also felt that it was unrealistic, but the reality was right in front of
him.
Wei Xiao went to the bottom lane to cooperate with Old Yue and Brother
Cai, but the problem was even more serious in this round. Y1’s bottom lane
and support pushed the three players from FTW back until they had to hide
under their own tower.
Wei Xiao let out a long sigh. “It’s my fault, I was unable to brush out the
light arcs.” Yan Jiang had interrupted his combo.
Bai Cai’s heart felt very uncomfortable.
Only by coming up against others from the same profession could one
deeply realize the gap between others and themselves.
Even FTW’s impregnable top lane was now struggling.
Losing the first tower at the start of the game had given Close a lot of
pressure.
Y1’s death knight was at the world champion level and wasn’t a three
legged cat. Although he couldn’t pressure Close, he was still able to hold
him down.
Holding down the great demon king was enough to create advantages for
his teammates.
Wei Xiao tried to support Lu Feng many times, but as long as he showed
any hint of it, Yan Jiang would instantly lead his teammates to attack the
mid and bottom lanes.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle weren’t weak. In fact, they were able to fight
back and forth against their lane opponents, but they were unable to stop
Yan Jiang.
The elemental shaman came and went like a shadow, and as long as they
caught a glimpse of a totem’s shadow, they were done for.
Precise control where no skill missed.

Yue Wenle’s bad habits were about to show up again towards the end. “I’m
going to kill him!”
When the ADC was only focused on killing the other side’s support, it was
over even in a casual game.
30 minutes later, the severely fragmented FTW lost the game.
There was silence in the training room. Even Wei Xiao didn’t speak.
They’d lost.
As expected.
But their brains were still buzzing.
Was this the world champion?!
Was this the number one team in the world?
Was this the man who’d managed an incredible feat as a support and
entered the Temple of Glory?
Very strong.
So strong that they couldn’t even summon the energy to feel upset.
FTW had also played with many other strong teams, such as L&P and Pro,
during the winter training camp.
They’d lost before and had also been crushed then, but they’d never felt as
powerless as they did this time.
It was as though they were punching against soft cotton. They hadn’t hurt
the other side, nor had they harmed themselves, but there was an
indescribable sense of frustration.
The game room stopped at the settlement panel. A word floated up in the
chat box.
Yan: “Quiet.”
Quiet: “?” He didn’t want to talk to him.
Yan: “Keep working hard.”
After putting down these three words, Yan Jiang left the room. The training
match was over.
Chen Feng clapped his hands and said, “Alright.”
Everyone came back to their senses with his call. Chen Feng tried to pump
them up, “Your performance just now was very good. You have to know
that Y1 was last year’s world champion, and it’s already great that we can
play against them like this. There weren’t any big problems in this match,
even if there are some small details that can be worked on. Y1 is a special
team. Don’t be discouraged. The coaching team will do the follow up work
and study the details, and we can definitely win next time!”
Ning Zhehan and the others had been psychologically prepared since a long
time ago and were able to pull themselves together. Yue Wenle answered,
“Mm.”
Wei Xiao was quite frustrated by Yan Jiang’s character.
When dealing with Old Dog Yuan, he could directly snark back, sniping at
him until Yuan Ze wanted to span the ocean of distance between them and
kill him.
But when dealing with Yan Jiang, he couldn’t say anything…
The other party hadn’t provoked him and hadn’t annoyed him. This
sentence hadn’t been a taunt and was spoken very sincerely…
Wei Xiao looked at Lu Feng and caught a glimpse of his computer screen.
He’d already exited the game and returned to the game’s main interface.
The chat channel was at the bottom left of the game, and there was a red
private chat message there––
Yan: “You haven’t changed. Quiet needs more freedom.”
Wei Xiao stilled briefly.
Lu Feng had already switched out of the game interface. He slid his chair
back and got up. “We’ll leave things like this tonight and rest early.”
Chen Feng agreed. “Alright, free activity time. Everyone should go to bed
by 12 o’clock as tomorrow’s schedule is very full.”
The playoffs were about to begin, and they were very busy with training
matches. Additionally, they also had to make posters and marketing videos,
do interviews, and so on. They were extremely busy.
Lu Feng left the training room first. Wei Xiao thought about it briefly and
didn’t go out after him.
The three little ones soon forgot about the match.
It wasn’t that they were thoughtless, but rather that they’d been
psychologically prepared, and the impact from losing the game hadn’t been
very big.
They’d be more impacted if they actually managed to win against Y1.
FTW wasn’t strong enough to win so if they’d really won, then Y1 would
have been taking it easy on them.
However, this time, they’d been taken seriously by the world champions. In
a reverse way, it had filled them up with fighting spirit.
The world championship wasn’t so far away anymore. It might take a bit of
hard work, some catch up, but it wasn’t impossible for them to turn the
tables!
Wei Xiao felt a little uneasy.

He hesitated for a while, but ultimately couldn’t help himself and sent Yan
Jiang a private message.
Wei Xiao wasn’t the type of person who would hide and beat around the
bush. He spoke frankly, “I’m very free.”
Yan Jiang was still online and naturally saw his message at a glance.
Wei Xiao felt that the momentum behind his words wasn’t strong enough
and added, “In FTW, around the captain, I’m very free!”
These were words from his heart and were filled with energy!
Yan Jiang replied to him, but it was with another question, “What about
Close?”
Wei Xiao stared at this red private message and felt a little stunned.
Yan Jiang didn’t say anything else.
Wei Xiao refused to be convinced by this, “The captain’s also very free!”
Why wouldn’t he be free? In the past, in FTW, he had to worry about the
team and had to play jungler, but now that he was here, the captain could
make his own choice and had the freedom to go up to the top lane!
Yan Jiang replied, “Freedom with shackles?”
Wei Xiao’s eyebrows twisted.
Yan Jiang spoke about something that Wei Xiao hadn’t thought about, “The
head of FTW, shouldering the whole club, carrying everyone. Is he free?”
Wei Xiao felt like he’d been stabbed in the heart, but he refused to accept it.
“These are responsibilities!”
Yan Jiang: “Mm.”

Wei Xiao bit down on his lower lip unconsciously and typed a little
forcefully, “Should he have chosen to give up like you guys? Be like you
guys, giving up on FTW, giving up on your former comrades, giving up on
those who cared about you?”
Of the previous FTW, the old Team of Gods, only Close was left. Close was
the only one carrying all these responsibilities!
They’d pulled out and gone their own way, leaving their past behind.
Yan Jiang’s each and every word stabbed right into the tip of Wei Xiao’s
heart, “So Close gave up on himself.”
Yan Jiang asked a question that he’d wanted to ask for a long time, “Do you
like Close?”
Wei Xiao’s fingers trembled, “Yes.”
Yan Jiang: “Then why don’t you learn more about him?”
Wei Xiao’s fingers landed on the keyboard, but he couldn’t type out a single
character.
Yan Jiang: “A person who is immersed in the past can’t win the future.”
Ch177.1 - Yan Jiang took a breath
and asked him, “You aren’t
thinking of buying FTW, are you?”
Wei Xiao looked at this line of words in a daze. He felt like there was a wall
blocking his heart, suffocating him so much he couldn’t breathe.
He refused to accept it. “There’s no past! The current FTW is new!”
The captain wasn’t wallowing in the past. He’d already set it down a long
time ago. The current FTW was a brand new one, and although it didn’t
have the same strength as the Team of Gods, no matter whether it was him,
Ning Zhehan, Yue Wenle, or Bai Cai, they were all working hard for that
final trophy. They would definitely send FTW to the altar again!
He might think this, but there was a tiny voice that popped out from a small
corner of his brain––was that all it was?
Yan Jiang had already said so much and didn’t plan to continue being vague
about the topic. He gave Wei Xiao the most straightforward sentence,
“More than FTW.”
Wei Xiao’s hand froze.
Yan Jiang: “The 17 year old Close ran away from home. I don’t know about
his family situation, and I don’t want to embarrass him.”
This was the last sentence. He’d already said all that could be said.
Yan Jiang quit the game and left the training room.
Time in a foreign country was different from time in the motherland.

It was 10PM in China, but here, the sky was filled with the setting sun,
reflecting off the slow-moving river like a ribbon of light.
Yan Jiang lit up a cigarette, set his elbow on the railing, and looked coldly
at the slowly setting sun.
Three years ago.
In the rising FTW, the half grown youth who had dreams in his heart had
passed a sleepless night after learning that he was about to be sold like an
object.
The peak was fleeting, and profits and interests always reigned supreme.
It was better to stop at the right time than let the Team of Gods become a
bubble that popped in the next season. The maximum benefit that FTW
could obtain would be to sell the players who’d just won the world
championship.
Kim Sung-hyun’s contract had expired, and he’d decided to go home a long
time ago. Yuan Ze, as a mixed blood, didn’t care which competition zone he
was in. Only Yuan Ze, Xie He, and Close hesitated when faced with this
disaster.
Their contracts were all in FTW’s hands, and it was difficult for them to do
anything.
Xie He hated Yan Jiang the most in the team. If it wasn’t necessary, then he
could go without saying a single word with him for a whole month, but that
day, he’d taken the initiative to find their captain and asked him, “What
should I do?”
Xie He bowed his head. He was holding a cigarette that had almost burned
down to his fingers despite the fact he hadn’t even lifted it to his lips. “I
want to stay in China.”
He didn’t care about something like the Team of Gods, and he didn’t care if
they separated or not. Their relationship had never been anything special
and being opponents might be better than being teammates.
Yan Jiang was very straightforward. “FTW won’t let you stay in China.”
The China competition zone couldn’t afford such a high price. FTW just
wanted to sell them for the best price, no matter which competition zone
they ended up in.
Xie He didn’t realize that the cigarette butt was burning his fingers. His
black eyes were fierce when he looked up. “Then what’s the point in
transferring myself!”
He couldn’t stay in China anyway, so what was the difference between

getting sold and leaving by himself?!
Yan Jiang looked at him. “At least it’ll be your own choice.”
The world’s number one support, the world’s number one mid-laner, the
world’s number one top-laner, the world’s number one ADC…
Behind this infinite glory was boundless darkness.
The development of the domestic e-sports industry had been slower than
that of foreign countries, especially since various aspects of their society
and ways of thinking had led to contempt and disdain for e-sports.
China competition zone’s clubs, which hadn’t achieved any significant

results at the time, were far from being able to attract the attention of
anyone with sufficient capital.
Domestic clubs couldn’t afford such a high price, but foreign teams were
scrambling to put in high bids.
FTW didn’t care about how the whole competition zone was doing, and
even had the mentality that they could hit the jackpot again: Even if they
sold the Team of Gods, they might still be able to dominate in China, and
they might even be able to cultivate a new team.
Why not?
Other than the Kim Sung-hyun whose contract was expiring, the other
people’s contracts were all in FTW’s hands, and they only had one way left
to go.
They could either be sold or take the initiative to contact the right team in
order to fight for what was left of their final rights and interests.
As long as the price was right, FTW would still respect their wishes.
Yuan Ze had lived in North America before and went to a region he knew
well.
Yan Jiang and Xie He went to Europe.
Yan Jiang went to WP, a place that only treated him as a cash cow.
During those stormy, turbulent days, even someone like Xie He who never
bowed to anyone had gone to seek out Yan Jiang, but Close never showed
any vulnerability or helplessness.
Yan Jiang had taken the initiative to go and find Close.
In fact, of the whole team, Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun had the best
relationship with Close.
Unfortunately, Kim Sung-hyun and Yuan Ze found it difficult to understand

how the other three felt.
What they were going to face wasn’t only leaving FTW, but also leaving
their home country.
Pulling up their roots and leaving home wasn’t easy.

Yan Jiang had always had a cold temperament. When faced with Close,
who was the same as him, they could live broadcast in the same room and
double queue together for three hours without saying a word.
At the time, the fans had come up with all sorts of guesses, and their little
articles proved, one after another, that they didn’t have a good relationship.
They even thought that Close’s arrival was the root cause behind FTW
splitting up.
Because he was too similar to Yan Jiang.
One mountain couldn’t hold two tigers, not to mention two tigers from the
Team of Gods.
If Close was a lively younger brother, he might be able to neutralize the

atmosphere, but Close was even colder than Yan Jiang and more
independent than Xie He. How could he neutralize the situation?
This was just exacerbating the conflict.
But, in reality, Close had used soloing to accompany Xie He to train up a

unique thousand layers of clouds.
Kim Sung-hyun had also used his time soloing with Close to make him into
a thief that all ADCs feared.
Yuan Ze’s death knight and Close’s hidden thief used to be Glory’s best top-
jungler combination. They’d played out many wonderful operations and
abused countless teams until they were bleeding all over.
There was also Yan Jiang…
Was there anyone who knew that Close’s nine light arcs had been mastered
during the time spent double queueing with Yan Jiang?
The Team of Gods couldn’t play in the doubles competition.
They couldn’t let go of their pride and couldn’t cooperate with each other.
But they’d obtained an uncontestable 5v5 team competition championship.
Yan Jiang went to find Close.
At the time, Close was only 17 years old. His birthday was on Christmas
Eve, so he would only turn 18 after Christmas.
17 years old was a very young age, but looking at the youth in front of him,
it was hard for him to feel any sense of tenderness and immaturity from
him.
He was born with impeccable features, but he never laughed.
His upbringing was obviously superior compared to that of ordinary people,

and it made him seem even more out of tune with his surroundings.
He was silent and didn’t speak, and he never showed his happiness or anger.
How was he anything like a young teenager? There were many adults who
weren’t even as calm as he was.
Yan Jiang didn’t like him very much.
It was hard to like someone who was very similar to oneself.
“What are your plans for the future?” Yan Jiang asked him.
Close was silent for a while.
Yan Jiang’s voice was even as he told Close all about the current situation
and what was going to happen. Although he felt that Close understood it all,
as an older adult, he still made sure that everything was explained clearly.
At least for this moment, Yan Jiang had to regard him as a 17 year old
youth, a minor.
Close listened quietly without interrupting him from the beginning to the
end. He didn’t ask him anything.
It was rare for Yan Jiang to say so much, and he also felt a little irritated
after talking: Close understood it all already, and he’d spoken of everything
in such detail like an idiot.
“Me and Xie He are going to Europe. What about you?” Yan Jiang tossed
this question at him.
Close suddenly raised his head. His pair of black eyes that had seemed to be
forever unshakable showed a hint of anxiety.
Yan Jiang’s heart sank.
Close’s thin lips opened and closed, and he only said a single word after a
long time, “Mm.”
It was an ambiguous response. There wasn’t a followup comment,

statement, or expression of his own thoughts.
However, Yan Jiang wasn’t just anyone else.
Regarding something that even Yuan Ze could suspect, how could he not
have thought of it?
Yan Jiang took a breath and asked him, “You aren’t thinking of buying
FTW, are you?”
Close: “……”
Yan Jiang only felt that his breath was blocked in his throat, cooling down
the words he spoke, “It’s not necessary.”
Like before, Close’s response was still a cold “Mm”.
Those words gushed up to his mouth, but Yan Jiang was ultimately still
unable to say it out loud.
––It’s not necessary. No one is worth you paying out so much for.
Getting away hadn’t been easy, why go back?

Yan Jiang signed a transfer contract with WP more quickly than anyone had
expected.
At the end, he sent Close a message, “There aren’t any endless feasts in this
world.”
It took a long time before Close sent him back three words, “See you later.”
The FTW team loved soloing.
Every time someone lost, they would say ‘see you later’ to the other party.
These words filled up the WeChat message boxes for the four people, Yuan
Ze, Xie He, Kim Sung-hyun and Close.
Only Yan Jiang never soloed with them, so he’d never received this
message before.
See you later.
How would they see each other again later?
Yan Jiang stubbed out the cigarette butt and returned to the training room
amidst the falling night.
Ch177.2 - No one understood Lu
Feng, so he would be the one to
understand him.
Lu Feng stared at the documents in front of him, but his thoughts weren’t
on them.
The office was clearly empty, and it was a quiet night, but the constant
sound of quarreling sounded in his mind.
The magnificent house, empty corridors, the unrestrained roars of anger.
“Lu Mingze, get out of here!”
“Qing Lei, don’t be so shameless just because I’m showing you respect.”
“I really was crazy to marry you.”
“If you have guts, then go get a divorce!”
“Divorce? And make room for that woman you raised to move in?”
After that came endless anguish and resentment.
“If I hadn’t given birth to you, I wouldn’t have been trapped in this damned
place.”
“It’s all your fault, why did I give birth to you!”
Sharp, stabbing pain pierced into his nerves. What Lu Feng felt wasn’t just
the pain in his head, but also the pain in his shoulder.
“E-sports? Our Lu Family doesn’t have trash like you!”
“You thought of your father now that you’re short on money?”
“What happened to your confidence when you ran away from home? Didn’t
you say you wouldn’t come back even if you starved to death?”
“Playing games? I’ll break your arm! Let’s see what big dreams you can
have now!”
Bang, bang, bang.
The knocking at the door woke Lu Feng up from this nightmare.
There was cold sweat on his forehead, and his knuckles were sharply
defined as his hand gripped the pen so tightly that it seemed like it would
break.
“Captain?” Wei Xiao pushed the door open a crack, and his voice came in,
“Are you busy?”
Lu Feng released his hand and got up to open the door.
In fact, the door wasn’t closed, and Wei Xiao had always come in whenever
he wanted to, but…
Lu Feng pulled open the door and embraced Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao froze. He could feel that the arm around his waist was exerting a
lot of strength, like a drowning person grabbing onto the only piece of
driftwood, eager to leave the water and catch his breath.
Heartache filled up his entire chest cavity. Wei Xiao hugged him back and
called out to him softly in a gentle voice, “Captain…”
“Mm.”
“It’s all right.”

“……”
“I’m here.”
With that, he touched the tip of Lu Feng’s ear with his warm lips. It was a
very light and soft touch, like the softest breeze in spring, sweeping away
the cold night and bringing with it the scorching sun.
Lu Feng’s heart trembled, and he released him to kiss his lips.
It wasn’t a light kiss, and it wasn’t a gentle kiss. It was almost like he’d
forgotten all technique.
He was just kissing him, wanting him, longing for him.
It was like a person who was walking in the lonely and cold, dark desert for
a long time absorbing this only patch of clear water, this only source of
survival.
Wei Xiao was left breathless from this kiss, but he had no intention of
pushing him away at all. Instead, he wrapped his arms around him and
hugged him tight.
“Want to do it?” Wei Xiao was emotional.
Lu Feng didn’t say anything. He just dropped fine kisses starting from the
corner of his mouth and moving down, printing them against his beautiful
jawline, his long neck, his protruding collarbone…
Wei Xiao’s toes curled up uncontrollably, and there was no way to hide in a
place as narrow as the sofa. “Don’t, like this…”
His hands couldn’t help but go down…
Lu Feng grasped his hand and said in a low voice, “No.”
Wei Xiao couldn’t stand it. “No way, I-I can’t help it.”
Lu Feng locked his wrists with one hand and kissed him. “Just like this.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes opened wide, and his voice trembled, “Captain…
Captain…”
Back in the bedroom, it took Wei Xiao a long time to recover.
He was a little upset…
He’d obviously gone to have a heart-to-heart with the captain. How come it
had gotten sexual and had even got so exciting?
It was over.
The captain’s skills were getting better and better, what could he do?!
Wei Xiao was really a little bit afraid that he might actually die in bed
during the off-season.
There were still hints of it when Lu Feng came out of the bathroom. Wei
Xiao stared at him for a while, and his brain started to heat up again.
Why did he have to look so good!
He couldn’t think of proper things as soon as he saw him!
Wei Xiao took a deep breath and jumped up. “I’ll blow dry your hair for
you.”
Lu Feng paused slightly, then opened his mouth, “No need.”
Wei Xiao ignored him. He pressed him down on the sofa, then bounced up
again to go look for the hair dryer.
Human adaptability was really very good. The Wei Little Xiao who’d only
done it once could already jump and bounce around after the event.
Wei Xiao was only wearing a t-shirt and shorts. His legs were exposed
when he knelt down on the sofa; they were slender and pale and especially
attractive.
Lu Feng bowed his head and let him blow dry his hair, but he couldn’t keep
from stretching his hand out to steady him.
Wei Xiao was ticklish and shrank away. “What are you doing.”
Lu Feng was worried that he’d fall and removed his hand.
But Wei Xiao had seen through his intentions. He held his hand and placed
it on his waist, under his clothing.
Wei Xiao blinked at him.
Lu Feng gave him a hard squeeze and made his legs go soft.
After blowing his hair dry, Wei Xiao pillowed his head on his legs and said
in a low voice, “I spoke with Captain Yan for a bit earlier.”
The hand that Lu Feng was using to play with his hair paused.
Wei Xiao flipped so that he was lying on his back instead of on his side and
looked up at him, “Captain.”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao couldn’t hide what he was thinking. “Will we get married?”
Lu Feng’s heart pounded hard.
Wei Xiao’s shamelessness had reached another level. “If I were a woman, I
would be pregnant by now.”
Lu Feng: “………………”
Wei Xiao tsked, “There’s so much, and it fills me up so well, I…”
Lu Feng couldn’t continue listening any longer. “Shut up.”

Wei Xiao’s mouth was reckless, but the blush on his face showed a bit of
shyness. “Could it be that I’m wrong? Which time did you…”
Lu Feng’s finger moved, and he pressed down on Wei Xiao’s lips.
Wei Xiao didn’t speak anymore and directly held onto Lu Feng’s finger
with his mouth.
After that, Wei Xiao, whose head was pillowed on his captain’s thigh, was
given a shock. “You’re hard just like that?”
Lu Feng couldn’t bear it anymore. “Go sleep early.”
Wei Xiao: “Eh…..”
Lu Feng made as though to get up. Wei Xiao quickly hugged him around
the waist and said, “I won’t mess around anymore, I won’t.”
How could Lu Feng bear to get up?
Wei Xiao rubbed against his belly and said coquettishly, “I want to talk to
you for a while.”
Lu Feng didn’t dare to have him rest on his legs anymore. He pulled him up
and held him in his arms. “What do you want to talk about?”
Wei Xiao stared at ‘brother tent’ and cleared his throat. “How about we
first…”
Wei Xiao was afraid of being driven downstairs and said hurriedly, “Okay,
okay, we’ll just talk.”
Was there anyone who’d been as wronged as he was?

He wanted to help his boyfriend, but his boyfriend even got angry at him
for it.
Wei Xiao forcibly pulled the topic back on track. “Captain, I want to be
with you all my life.”
Lu Feng’s chest was filled with warmth. He kissed the tips of his hair and
said, “Me too.”
Wei Xiao: “Like a married couple.”
Lu Feng didn’t like the term ‘married couple’.
He whispered, “I will always love you.”
Wei Xiao’s mouth curved. “Me too.”
Lu Feng believed him, and he knew that Wei Xiao also believed him.
Was there anything that could be happier than this?
Two people who loved each other and had connected hearts and minds.
Wei Xiao had been circling around marriage for a reason, and he finally got
to the main point, “Mr. Lu.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were curved, and he was shameless and impetuous. “As
your de facto wife, shouldn’t I know something about your family?”
It was a very serious topic, but because of Wei Xiao’s ‘wife’, it suddenly
felt different.
For the first time in his life, Lu Feng didn’t feel irritable and gloomy when
he thought of his family, but rather had a mood of not knowing whether to
laugh or cry.
Lu Feng’s lips curved. “Wife?”
Wei Xiao’s bottom line had already fallen to the bottom of the sea, “Hus…”
Lu Feng was scared of what he could get up to. “Enough.”
Wei Xiao’s smile was naughty. “You dare to ask me to call you anything
when you’re f*cking me, but now…”
Lu Feng bit him on the lips. “Now, there’s nothing you don’t dare to say.”
Wei Xiao was afraid that the topic would run off again and quickly pulled
this small train back on track. “I, Wei Xiao, have a pair of parents I can do
without. You’ve seen my mother, and I’ll take you to see Wei Quan later
on.” As of now, Wei Xiao still didn’t want to call him dad.
Lu Feng’s heart ached for him. He agreed. “Mm.”
Wei Xiao finished speaking about himself, so he asked Lu Feng, “What

about you?”
Lu Feng paused for a moment, his voice very light, “Lu Mingze, Qing Lei.”
It was like the names belonged to strangers. There were no particular

feelings attached to those names.
Wei Xiao’s heart felt somewhat bitter.
Lu Feng’s voice was very dry, but he tried hard to continue, “It was an
arranged marriage, boht parties were equally wretched…”
Lu Mingze and Qing Lei tortured each other, but only the young Lu Feng
suffered.
Wei Xiao’s nose stung from just listening to him. “Captain…”
Lu Feng didn’t want him to shed tears because of this, so his voice became
calmer as he spoke, “It’s okay. I’ve already gotten over it.”
Father, mother, family, affection.
Amidst his continuous efforts, his endless striving to be better, even when
he made himself incomparably outstanding and achieved all their
requirements, he still hadn’t been able to receive the slightest response, so
he’d given up.
Life wasn’t just about one’s parents.
From the moment he stepped out of that house, Lu Feng only wanted to live
for himself.
Wei Xiao’s heart ached badly. “You will have me in the future.”
Lu Feng smiled briefly. “Yes.”
Wei Xiao: “I will be your friend, your lover, and your family.”
Lu Feng had once said this to him, and now Wei Xiao finally realized the
weight of these words.
He was giving him this, but it was also what he yearned to have.
Lu Feng could hold back when Wei Xiao spoke dirty, but he couldn’t hold
back when he acted so clever and well-behaved.
“Little Xiao.”
“Hm?”
“Can we do it?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
They’d take their time…
That was what the dizzy Wei Xiao thought––

Understanding was a process. It was impossible to understand someone
thoroughly in one night.
He had time as well as a desire for learning.
No one understood Lu Feng, so he would be the one to understand him.
Understand his past, his present, and his future.
The author has something to say: It’s sweet, boohoo.

Ch178 - When jungler kings meet,
there must be a shou!
Wei Xiao had a dream.
The dream was vague, and there were many messy scenes piled up together.
It was absurd and chaotic.
He walked down the street where he’d lived for over ten years. It looked
like how it was now during his adulthood, but the scenes were from his
childhood.
There was a small shop that sold cheap snacks, an old man that sold roasted
melon seeds, the grocery store grandma who was extremely nitpicky and
wouldn’t even let super cheap tofu off, and his favorite rice and oil shop––
the one with glossy white grains and fragrant sesame oil––that made him
feel as if he wouldn’t get tired even if he watched it all day.
Wei Xiao stood on the street, waiting for his grandma.
Every time he had this dream, he would see his grandma. It was even more
strange tonight, because he knew he was dreaming in his dream.
Wei Xiao was waiting for his grandma, but what he saw was a little baby
child with black hair, soft ears, and skin the color of snow.
The child was only three or four years old and stood there alone, dressed in
old clothing. His tender, tofu-like hands were smeared with dust, his gaze
drooped, and his long eyelashes were like dark feathery fans, covering his
bright black eyes.
Then, Wei Xiao saw Wei Quan and Li Su.

Wei Quan was scolding Li Su, and it was very unpleasant to listen to.
Li Su was criticizing him and shouting that she wanted to get a divorce.
Wei Xiao only felt that it was completely absurd as he watched this scene
unfold.
His parents didn’t pay attention to anyone but each other. How could they
get divorced?
Until Li Su turned to the child and scolded, “It’s all your fault. If I hadn’t
given birth to you, I wouldn’t have had to suffer in this damned place!”
The child hung his head, his long black hair covering his forehead as he
opened his mouth and said, “I’m sorry.”
His voice was soft and light and was very apologetic, but an innate coolness
could still be heard within the tone of his voice.
Wei Xiao’s heart felt like it had been smashed by a stone. He strode over to
look at the child’s appearance.
Black hair, pale skin, dark eyes like pools of water in a deep valley that was
quiet and impregnable.
Lu Feng.
He’d thought that it was himself, but it turned out to be a young Lu Feng.
Wei Quan and Li Su began to abuse each other again, until the crazed Wei
Quan swung his arm. Seeing that they were about to hit Lu Feng, Wei Xiao
grabbed his wrist, his voice cold and angry, “Don’t touch him.”
“Little Xiao?” The man’s low voice rang out in Wei Xiao’s ear, pulling him
out of the nightmare.
Wei Xiao’s heart beat very fast, and he couldn’t return to his senses for a
long time.
Lu Feng hugged him, his voice hoarse, “A nightmare?”
Wei Xiao hugged him hard and breathed lightly. “Mm.”
“What did you dream of?”
Wei Xiao shook his head.
“It’s nothing, it was just a dream.”
“Mm.”
“Go back to sleep; it’s still early.”
Wei Xiao leaned into his arms and smelled that light familiar scent. His
heartbeat gradually slowed down.
He wasn’t asleep, and he couldn’t fall sleep, but his heart felt at peace.
What had the captain experienced when he was a child?
Had the captain also apologized to his irresponsible parents like that as a
child?
Wei Xiao had suffered this dream because of the regret in his heart.
He regretted that he hadn’t met Lu Feng earlier, that he hadn’t been able to
hold him, that he hadn’t been able to…
A touch that was like a very gentle kiss landed between Wei Xiao’s
eyebrows. It was restrained and light, as though the giver was afraid of
waking him up.
The regret Wei Xiao felt in his heart scattered in an instant.
Because there was no need to regret.

He could protect the Lu Feng from the past now in the present.
They were only three short days away from the playoffs.
FTW’s first game was against GOQ. It was the first game of the playoffs,
and simultaneously, it would also be Close’s first game after his return.
Official marketing had already been launched, and the height of the fans’
expectations was endless. The tickets had sold out in one go, and there were
even scalpers offering tickets at sky-high prices.
When Brother Cai heard how much the tickets cost, he was dumbfounded.
“Brother Liu, let’s sell bench seats…”
Bench seats weren’t for the substitutes. It was seating offered for the team’s
personnel.
It was at the very front row, the first row, and each row had five to six seats.
If it was sold, they could make a huge amount of money. Brother Cai’s eyes
had already turned into a string of dollar signs.
Wei Xiao bonked him on the head. “Be a little more promising.”
Brother Cai had just been running his mouth. “A full man doesn’t
understand a hungry man’s hunger.”
Wei Xiao jeered at him, “You get 1000 a day for walking the dog, and 300
to squeeze watermelon juice, 500 if you bring me meals…”
Everyone present were insiders who knew the situation. Brother Liu
pretended like he didn’t know anything.
Wei Xiao stared at him. “With this, you’re still hungry?”
The captain had already given this bastard enough subsidies!

Brother Cai hurriedly said, “Aiya, how could there be too much of such
things.”
Brother Cai shut up. At this moment, Little Lunatic Wei unexpectedly had a
bit of the presence of a ‘boss lady’.
Great. Not only did Brother Cai shut up, he also shivered. His own thoughts
had struck him with lightning and left him numb all over!
When it came to the first game in the playoffs, the four little ones were all
very relaxed.
GOQ really wasn’t strong enough to worry about. Not to mention now that
Close was back, they would be able to beat up the other side unilaterally
even if it was Brother Tang on the team instead.
The GOQ players were also very relaxed. Ever since they’d been given an
on-the-spot game replay review by the grandmaster, they had already
managed to achieve very good results during the regular season.
What kind of top four were they aiming for?
For them to be able to enter the top eight was already something that made
their club boss start laughing to himself in the middle of the night, so elated
that he wasn’t even able to close his mouth.
It was even to the point where––
“It doesn’t matter if you lose. What’s important is that you have to ask the
grandmaster to help us review the game afterwards.”
GOQ’s mid-laner, jungler, and support who all still had a deep shadow on
their hearts: “…………” There was really no need!
The playoffs were equivalent to the end of the season. Compared with the
long regular season that was packed with games, the playoffs only had a
pitiful number of games.
Eight into four had a total of four games.
There were two games for the semi-finals.
And finally, there was the national finals.
No matter how they counted, it would all be over in a week.
This year’s home game was in S City, so FTW didn’t need to move around
and was much more relaxed.
3U and TPT, who were far away in B City, were preparing to head to S
City.
Wei Xiao was idle and bored and went to help his captain make up for his
live broadcast time. He encountered Asleep in the professional server.
The scrolling comments were instantly excited.
“When jungler kings meet, there must be a shou!”
“Ummmm, my Brother Sleep belongs to Cong Yi.”
“My Q Cub belongs to the great demon king.”
“So this script is actually: Two shous meet, so there must be a gong?”
“Those who mess around should get lost!”
The straight men were used to the rotten Glory circle and even commented
on it, “Looking at the whole of the domestic Glory circle, other than Close,
who has been confirmed to be a blade, who else can screw over Quiet?”
The scrolling comments were noisy and loud, but Wei Xiao didn’t care.
He asked Asleep, “Which position are you going to play?”
Asleep: “A.” Any.

Wei Xiao was amused, “How about having your big brother play support
for you?”
Wei Xiao: “What are you thinking, Laozi never plays support.”
Asleep: “…………” He snatched up the shadow thief in anger so that Wei

Xiao didn’t have a jungler to go wild with.
Wei Xiao didn’t mind and said, “It just happens that this is my captain’s live
broadcast room. In that case, I’ll show you Close’s new darling, the
death…” He hadn’t finished saying ‘death knight’ when their team member
in the second position snatched up the death knight.
The scrolling comments were laughing like crazy. “Things aren’t going the
grandmaster’s way, this is beautiful.”
“Grandmaster, don’t panic. You’re on the fifth position, and you still have a
chance!”
Like hell he had a chance. The fifth position was commonly known as the
fill-in spot, and in the professional server, it usually ended up being the
support position that was leftover.
Wei Xiao typed, “Brother, let me have the death knight.”
A string of Korean text came from the second position.
Wei Xiao: “……” He couldn’t understand it!
Wei Xiao didn’t give up. He went to coax the third position, “Little brother,
can I have a mage position? I’m a well known mage king.”
The fourth position asked, “There are mage kings everywhere, and they’re
all well known. Are you Xiehe?”
Wei Xiao was shameless. “Yes, I just happen to be EVE’s Xie He.”
The whole team: “…………”
Unexpectedly, the third position sent out two Chinese characters, “Ha-ha.”
Wei Xiao: “?”
The scrolling comments were filled with ‘holy shit holy shit holy shit’.
Wei Xiao glanced at the scrolling comments and saw a line of words, “The
third position really is God Xie ahhhh!!”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
What the hell.
Not only had he matched up with Asleep, he’d also matched with Xie He?
The point being – both of them were his teammates?
To hell with playing!
There were fans who’d gone over to look and come back, “Reporting! Third
position 123 (ID) really is God Xie. God Xie is also streaming!”
This was a very wonderful instance of crashing into other players.
Wei Xiao was shameless and didn’t panic after running into the real person.
He could even laugh happily, “God Xie, how about letting me play the
immortal warlock, and I’ll carry you to win?”
Xie He chose the immortal warlock at the very last second and typed,
“Okay. I’ll carry you to win.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
There were a total of five positions. Asleep had taken the shadow thief in
the first position, an unknown player in the second position had taken the
death knight, and the third position’s Xie He locked in the immortal
warlock. There was also the fourth position, Mr. Making Trouble, and Wei
Xiao was in the fifth position.
Could it be that he would really have to help Asleep by playing support?
No way!
Wei Xiao struggled for a while longer. “Fourth position, don’t you want to
play support for God Xie and appreciate the immortal warlock’s beautiful
appearance?”
The fourth position was someone who took delight in other people’s
misfortune. “I’ll leave this wonderful opportunity to you.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
Seriously, if this was the international server, it wasn’t impossible for Wei
Xiao to take a thief and play as a support.
But this was the professional server. If he really did that and the moderators
discovered it, points would be deducted from his credit score.
Besides, he was also live streaming, and if professional players started

putting on an act in the game, then they could give up the idea of playing in
competitions.
It was rare for the audience to see the grandmaster trip up. The scrolling
comments were filled with people delighting in his misfortune, and all of
them were filling the screen up with the words Wei Xiao had said before––
How about having your big brother play support for you?
What are you thinking, Laozi never plays support.
The corner of Wei Xiao’s mouth twitched. He selected a holy priest at the
very last second of the countdown.
He yelled, “Brother Cai!”

Wei Xiao: “Come here, let me give you a chance to compete on the same
stage as God Xie and Sleep God.”
Bai Cai: “I just started a game.”
Wei Xiao poked his head over. “What talent did you take?”
Bai Cai: “The holy priest, I’m double queuing with Old Yue.”
Wei Xiao: “…………” There was no difference even if they switched!
The scrolling comments were already shouting, “Accept it, grandmaster,

just accept it.”
“Speaking of which, why doesn’t the grandmaster play support and

occasionally experience the joy of getting carried?”
Wei Xiao: “No.”
The fans were curious. “Why, why?”
Wei Xiao gritted his teeth. “I’ll only play support for my captain in this
life.”
He’d only just finished saying this when Lu Feng’s voice rang out from
behind him, “When was that?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Wei Xiao had turned on the camera. From the second Lu Feng entered the
camera, the screen had already been filled with shrill chicken screams and
‘ah, I’m dead’. Now, the scrolling comments covered up the whole feed.
Lu Feng didn’t turn off the live broadcast. He looked down at him. “I
remember you mentioning it before. Was it prior to entering the team?”
Wei Xiao’s face heated up inexplicably. “Yes.”

Lu Feng: “Lucky audience member?”
Wei Xiao: “Yes…”
Not only had he been a lucky audience member, he’d also had a fangirl
persona and had blown a whole set of rainbow farts, to the point where the
entire live broadcast room had given him a title: the rainbow master.
This black history was too dark. Even someone like Wei Xiao, whose
shamelessness was as thick as city walls, felt a little embarrassed.
Lu Feng’s heart felt a little itchy when he saw Wei Xiao’s well behaved
appearance. He bypassed this live broadcast accident and touched Wei Xiao
briefly on the shoulder. “Leave this game to me.”
Wei Xiao blinked.
Lu Feng: “If you don’t like it, then don’t force yourself. I’ll play the holy
priest.”
The scrolling comments grew even more crazy.
As everyone knew, the great demon king was one who really didn’t play the
support position.
The reason?
FTW.Close was nicknamed ‘orphan’, not because of his thief, but because
of his support!
If Yan Jiang was a godly support, then Close was a demon!
There were new fans who didn’t know about this, so they asked, “Is the
great demon king’s support really crappy?”
The old fans were sincere and earnest. “It’s not crappy, it’s just… come on,
come on, everyone should type out their heartache for Sleep God on the
public screen.”
Ch179.1 - Feeling heartache for
Sleep God...
Why should they feel heartache for Sleep God?
Because Asleep was protected by an immortal support like Cong Yi all the
time. Now that he had suddenly fallen into the great demon king’s hands,
the difference… he’d understand once he tried it.
Wei Xiao hesitated. “You want to play?” He didn’t want to force the
captain.
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao: “’Kay, you play.”
He saw the scrolling comments out of the corner of his eye as he got up. A
large stretch of purple comments were packed densely together, filled with
‘my ship is sailing, my ship is sailing!’. Wei Xiao looked calm on the
surface, but flowers bloomed one after another in his heart, and he wished
he could type out a scrolling comment of his own to clarify, “It’s not that
your ship is sailing. You should say that your CP is real.”
In the time it took for them to change seats, Lu Feng had already entered
the game.
The holy priest talent was one of the oldest hero talents in Glory.
Priests tended to be healers in all sorts of games. Just from listening to the
name, it was obvious that the holy priest belonged to the light class and was
a major healer.
In Glory, the holy priest was indeed the number one healer.
It’s first skill, Hymn, could heal friendly troops within range, including but
not limited to teammates. It could even recover health for the small soldiers.
The second skill, Symphony, was also commonly known as Bubble Tune. It
was a very tricky control skill. After it hit an enemy target, it would bounce
continuously between targets within a controlled distance. The number of
times it bounced relied on the player’s operations.
The third skill, Concerto, increased movement speed for the player and
designated teammates. It would also restore 50% of the health that
teammates had lost within the last three seconds.
The ultimate move, Aria, was affectionately called the Light Gate by the
players. After the skill was released, it would create a gate covered with
holy light and was a strong control skill that locked in an enemy while
helping friendly targets recover a large amount of health.
There were a total of four skills. Other than Bubble Tune that had a bit of
damage, Hymn was a pure heal, Concerto was heal and acceleration, and
the Light Gate was either a control skill or a heal.
Three and a half out of the four skills were all heal skills. Glory’s number
one healing talent lived up to its name.
How could such a harmless talent be used to play like the damned?
Reasonably speaking, Wei Xiao was also a bit curious.
He’d started playing Glory late, and the Team of Gods had already been a
thing of the past two years before that. There was some old news that could
no longer be found, and the rest only lived on as legends.
For example, Close’s support could silence God Kim, leave Captain Yan
speechless, and make Yuan Ze and Xie He declare that he needed to stay
away from them.
Other people’s holy priest was really holy, but his holy priest was mentally
ill…
Other people’s light priest was like an angel of light, but his light priest was
like a demon coated in holy light…
Did they have to go so far?
Although Wei Xiao couldn’t play support, he wasn’t so bad to the point
where it became a crazy demon.
He pulled over a chair and sat down next to Lu Feng. He propped his chin
on his hand and stared at the screen, glancing at the scrolling comments out
of the corner of his eye.
The scrolling comments: “Ahhhhhh, Close and Quiet are too well
matched!”
“One cold and cool great demon king, one cheeky little prince. Fellow
sisters, I’m dead.”
“I used to think that no one could match with Close’s face in this lifetime,
but now… Mama is relieved!”
Little girls’ mouths were so sweet nowadays… Wei Xiao thought to

himself: No wonder there were so many little brothers who loved them to
death and back.
The game started, and the holy priest followed beside the shadow thief.
This was a normal routine. Asleep was a jungler who tended to lead the
rhythm of the game, and it was normal to have a support player beside him.
Asleep didn’t know that there had been a change in players and still thought
that the holy priest was Quiet, so he wanted to show off.
The first jungle creeps in the top jungle zone were usually the three jungle
creeps in the lower left corner. Asleep was an old jungler, and his skill
linkage was smooth, his normal attacks accurate. He could dodge and avoid
the jungle creeps’ damage and maximize DPS.
Wei Xiao watched seriously and commented in his heart, “Brother Sleep’s
jungle clearing efficiency isn’t bad.”
To finish off three jungle creeps in six or seven seconds meant that his
rhythm was very stable.
Seeing that Asleep was about to use the last shadow attack to harvest the
jungle creeps, there was a ringing sound.
The fingertips of the priest in a white robe flashed, and a symphony popped
out. It bounced from creep A to B to C, rebounding three times in one
second…
A bold gold coin symbol was popped up over the holy priest’s head.
Scrolling comments: “Hahahahahaha, it’s coming, it’s coming.”
Lu Feng typed, “Hand slipped.”
Like hell his hand slipped! How could there be this kind of mistake?!
If this was Brother Cai, Brother Cai wouldn’t make this kind of mistake
even if he was beaten to death!
In Glory, no matter whether it was a jungle creep or small soldier,

everything depended on who was the last to deal damage.
Why did players have to practice last-hitting like crazy? It was because gold
coins only went to the player who made the last attack. Only with gold
coins would they be able to buy equipment, develop, and be able to carry
the whole game.
Under normal circumstances, the support wouldn’t eat even a small bite of
the available resources, and they would feed it all to their c-position, raising
him up until he was fat and full so that he could deal tons of damage.
Close was obviously not a normal support.
Asleep still thought that the other side was still Quiet. He paused for half a
second before moving on to attack the next jungle creep.
This time, Asleep was clearly putting more effort into it. Reasonably
speaking, it was very difficult for a holy priest to snatch up jungle creeps. If
it was anyone else, they wouldn’t be able to get the last hit even if they tried
on purpose.
And then…
The bold gold coin symbol popped up over the holy priest’s head again.
Asleep: “……………………”
Wei Xiao lowered his gaze and looked at the holy priest’s equipment: Sure
enough.
The scrolling comments had also discovered it. “The holy priest started
with an iron sword. No wonder its general attack hurts so much.”
“It’s a very sad story. The holy priest’s farm is higher than the shadow
thief’s.”
“Who exactly is acting as the support player here???”
There were also haters who started kicking up a fuss. “Close is really
arrogant. He’s using the holy priest to snatch up farm, so does he plan to use
the holy priest to show off across the whole canyon?”
“Although he’s the great demon king, I don’t believe that a holy priest who
doesn’t even have the power to kill a chicken can kill people like flies.”
“If they lose, then report Close directly!”
The fans were calm. “What are you so anxious about? Just because you
can’t do it, it doesn’t mean that others can’t.”
After one round of clearing the jungle, Asleep finally discovered the
problem. “You…”
He turned on team chat and reluctantly spoke a single word.
Lu Feng opened up the team chat as well and spoke five words, “Stay
steady, we can win.”
This voice was too recognizable. Asleep could tell who it was as soon as he
heard it. “Cl…”
Wei Xiao couldn’t hear what was being said on the other side of the
headset, but he could guess it and shouted, “I don’t want to play support, so
my captain is playing for me!”
Make way, make way, let Laozi show off first.
At this time, the immortal warlock with the ID 123 typed out a line of text
and finished off Brother Sleep’s words. “Close?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
The immortal warlock stopped where it stood and didn’t even try to avoid
the other side’s magic beam. A line of red words appeared in the chat box
half a beat later, “Stay away from me.”
The scrolling comments laughed so hard that they couldn’t breathe.
“Was God Xie switching font colors just now?”
“Look at this bloody red color. It represents anger that flares all the way up
to the skies.”
“Three years later, God Xie once again realized the fear of being dominated
by Close’s cursed support!”
Soon, his teammates also noticed that there was something shady about the
holy priest.
This farm that was the highest in the whole game, this demonic build. If it
weren’t for the fact that they could see the name ‘Close’, they would’ve
already started cursing and swearing long ago, okay?!
Although, they also wanted to curse right now.
What the hell was he playing at?!
What was the use of having a support with such high farm?
The holy priest didn’t have anything like the nine light arcs.
Brother Sleep was too pitiful.
Firstly, he was silent and didn’t like to speak. Secondly, he was a high and
lofty jungler, but he could only pick up the farming remnants that leaked
through their support’s fingers.
TRAGIC… written in capital letters.
His farm wasn’t good, and he wasn’t high-levelled enough. There was no
way for him to lead the rhythm of the game.
When the other side came over to gank Asleep, everyone felt that they
would be done for in this game.
Even if they had God Xie, it wasn’t enough to make up for this inhumane
holy priest!
And then……
Everyone experienced a huge shock.
Three people from the other team had come over. They all charged at the
shadow thief, which was a very logical decision. The holy priest could heal
and resist, but he dealt no damage and beating him up was just a waste of
time.
Pouncing on the key DPS position was the important thing. As long as the
shadow thief died, then this brain-damaged holy priest could just be taken
down at will.
Everyone thought so, and the scrolling comments even started to say that
they didn’t dare to watch the scene.
Ding, ding, ding.
Bubble Tune’s sound effect rang out as Lu Feng controlled the three people.
The three opponents weren’t flustered. At most, they were surprised that the
holy priest’s Symphony was used well, but what was the use in that?
Bubble Tune’s damage was very low, and its control was negligible.
Then, the holy priest’s light and floating normal attack flew towards the
other side’s demonic mage.
The demonic mage didn’t take it seriously at all. Even if he was a squishy
talent, this small amount of damage wouldn’t hurt him.
-2000.
A critical hit was triggered.
It dealt an additional -2000.
The demonic mage with a total health of only 5000 was suddenly confused:
“???” What the hell!
Asleep reacted quickly. He launched a shadow dash and rushed up,

smashing down a series of moves. Although the shadow thief didn’t have
good equipment and could only deal weak damage, it was still enough to
kill the demonic mage.
First Blood was about to happen, and the pitiful shadow thief was about to
get rich.
System Announcement: First Blood.
I Like Close The Most killed uwi.
First Blood had indeed happened, but it wasn’t Brother Sleep’s. Instead, it
went to the holy priest…
Everyone at the scene was speechless, and the shadow thief was even more
stunned.
Ding dong.
The holy priest’s third skill’s sound effect rang out. Lu Feng said, “Attack.”
Healing and acceleration. The two of them instantly closed in on the two
opponents who were still alive.
These two people had finally seen Lu Feng’s equipment clearly: Damn it,
what the hell was this?!
In this round of 2v2, the holy priest took another two kills.
The Brother Sleep who had ended up with nothing at all: “……”
Lu Feng used a Hymn to help him recover the health he’d lost.
The scrolling comments hit the mark, “Hymn… praise? I know that the
great demon king is only healing Sleep God, but how come it seems like I
can scent a hint of irony.”
“Be a bit more confident and get rid of ‘it seems like’.”
“Feeling heartache for Sleep God…”
“Ten thousand pieces of heartache…”

Ch179.2 - The cold faced great
demon king actually had double
standards?!
This game could only be described as strange and wonderful.
The other side was beat up until they went into seclusion by the holy priest,
and their own side was also abused into seclusion by their own healer.
It turned out that the most terrible thing wasn’t having the healer snatch
kills and farm. The most terrible thing was losing their last hits to his basic
attack.
It didn’t matter if it was a kill or a lane soldier, a jungle creep or even an

ancient creature.
It didn’t matter if it was the death knight or the shadow thief or the hunter
or…
Oh, God Xie was really worthy of being God Xie.
The immortal warlock was the only man who had the same farm as the holy
priest in the whole canyon, and there wasn’t much difference in their kill
counts.
The game was over in 30 minutes.
There was no doubting this victory.
But… this way of winning made them want to go into seclusion more than
if they’d lost!
What kind of damned support was this!
Like hell was it support, he was f*cking more like a c-position than a real c-
position!
The old fans in the scrolling comments were very calm. “I thought that the
great demon king would be a bit more discreet in the professional server.”
“As it turns out, as long as it’s a random team, the great demon king is
completely able to play one against nine.”
“Not to mention when God Xie is a teammate.”
“Tsk, there are knives in this sugar!”
“Wake up, it’s clearly some sugar on this knife.”
It was a random team, so exiting out of the settlement interface also meant
leaving the game room.
Wei Xiao paused for a moment, then praised his boyfriend, “Amazing.”
When he placed himself in the other players’ position, he felt a lot of

heartache for Asleep, but… the captain was handsome no matter what he
did, and he was amazing no matter what he did, and he was peerlessly
strong no matter what he played with.
Lu Feng lifted his head to look at him. “Double queue?”
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up. “Okay!”
After that, there was a very large double-standards scene in the live
broadcast room.
Lu Feng and Wei Xiao double queued. After entering the game, one of them
was on the fifth floor, and it was a position where they couldn’t pick their
talent.
Wei Xiao rubbed their hands. “I’ll play support for you!”
Lu Feng: “No need. I’ll do it.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Seriously, the holy priest from the last game was too poisonous. Wei Xiao
was afraid that it would affect the husband and husband relationship
between the two of them if his captain really used it again.
Lu Feng looked at him, and the corners of his lips curved up slightly.
“Don’t be scared.”
Forget it, forget it. Dying under the captain’s smile meant that he would be
popular even as a ghost!
Wei Xiao watched on as Lu Feng picked the holy priest again.
He gritted his teeth and set his shadow thief’s equipment purchasing set-up
to buy tank gear.
It was alright, he would use the shadow thief to support his captain’s holy
priest.
As it turned out, Wei Xiao had overthought things.
The poisonous holy priest from the last game was now so normal that he
didn’t seem right during this game.
Snatching jungle creeps? He didn’t do so.
Taking kills? It never happened.
Buying equipment for critical attack, attack speed, high DPS? What are you
thinking? It was a gentle holy priest with a full suite of support gear.
The scrolling comments sent out more strings of ellipsis than when they’d
been sending out ‘heartache for Sleep God’.
Damn!
Who would’ve dared to think that the high and lofty, cold faced great
demon king would actually become known for having double standards?!
Who said that his support was damned?
Who said that his support was poisonous?
Wasn’t he playing very normally?
His healing and control were all on point, protecting the shadow thief like a
little baby.
He gave up on all farm, gave shields, and cherished the jungler king in the
palm of his hand.
The audience in the scrolling comments couldn’t watch on. “Close, blink if
Brother Cai has taken over your body,!”
“I’m a straight man, but I can feel myself getting cavities.”
The CP shipping sisters: “So sweet, so sweet, so sweet, it’s so sweet I’m
going crazy, this old lady can eat this sugar for 100 years!”
During one hour of live streaming, the two games that were played formed
a very sharp contrast.
The fans were just excited and felt that their cooperation was seamless, and
this CP was a perfect match.
But several people who were familiar with the inside situation were in a
complicated mood.
Chen Feng’s eyes were red.
Tang Chen was very pleased. “This is great.”

Yuan Ze, who was far away in North America, was still sleeping when Kim
Sung-hyun called him.
Yuan Ze’s grumpiness at being woken up was shocking. “F*ck your mother,
Kim Sung-hyun.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Let my mother off and come for me.”
Yuan Ze: “……….. Get lost!”
Kim Sung-hyun sent him a file. “Quickly take a look at this.”
When did Old Shit Yuan ever have to see the sun at eight in the morning?
He was swearing and cursing after he received the file. “If you woke me up
for something as unimportant as a fart, then I’ll take a flight to Korea to get
you…”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Watch it if you want to.” He hung up the phone with a
beep.
Yuan Ze had only slept for three hours. His head felt dizzy and swollen
from the lack of sleep.
He lit a cigarette and opened the video.
In one segment of the live broadcast video, Quiet ran into Xie He during
solo queue.
Yuan Ze’s eyelids drooped. “Damn it.”
Proud Flower Kim was just asking to be scolded, this was such a small
thing…
Then, he saw Close show up on camera and take over the holy priest.
Kim Sung-hyun wasn’t asking to be scolded, he was asking to be screwed

over!
Was Laozi losing sleep to watch this kind of damned thing?!
He cursed fiercely in his heart, but his hand was very honest. Yuan Ze
finished watching Close’s ‘poison’ priest expressionlessly and got ready to
flame Kim Sung-hyun.
Lu Feng’s voice rang out. “Double queue?”
Wei Xiao’s black eyes blinked. “Okay!”
The next game in the video woke Yuan Ze up.
He was already numb to Close’s cursed support, and it was nothing new.
But he’d really never seen Close playing support normally before…
After watching the whole video, all of Yuan Ze’s anger was gone.
He kicked his feet into his slippers and went out to the balcony. He took a
few hard pulls from his cigarette.
Close’s support was no good.
Outsiders didn’t understand, but the Team of Gods was very clear about it.
He didn’t play like that on purpose; it all happened unconsciously.
Getting the last hit, dealing damage, carrying the whole scene. He had to
have the feeling of holding the game in his own hands.
This was a side effect of absolute control.
At first, Yuan Ze had thought that Close was deliberately messing with
them.
Later on, they learned why.
It was the team’s psychological counselor who’d come up with the answer,
“Close can’t trust his teammates.”
Because he didn’t trust them, he had to master the rhythm himself.
Because he didn’t trust them, he could only strengthen himself.
It was also because he couldn’t trust them that he had to hold everything up
on his own.
It wasn’t obvious when he used thieves, since this was a profession that
required farm, showing off operations, and leading the rhythm of the game.
Combined with Yan Jiang’s ability to integrate, Close performed very well
in 5v5.
No one realized his fatal problem.
But once he changed to playing support, this well-hidden insecurity would

be fully exposed.
A support player required teammates, and it needed the ability to offer and
receive trust, being willing to give and cooperate.
Close didn’t trust others, couldn’t leave things to others, and couldn’t
cooperate.
He was a lone wolf in the canyon.
It was his own fight.
Yuan Ze bowed his head and sent Wei Xiao a message, “Close’s shoulder
doesn’t only need medical physiotherapy.”
At this time, Wei Xiao was playing in a training match. His cell phone was
on silent, and he didn’t see the message.
After that, Chen Feng came in with a soul-sucking poster in his hands. He
had even less time to go look at his cell phone.
Chen Feng pasted the poster up onto the glass panel, and the flattened
picture made everyone suck in breaths of cold air.
What was a fantastical, hellish doctrine?
Just looking at this Cthulhu-style poster was enough to let you get a sense
for step one, two, and three.
The poster went up, and the three little ones in the training room went
crazy. Coach Chen opened his mouth, “The competition rules for this year’s
global competition have been released.”
As soon as this came out, everyone held their breath.
The game, Glory, had lasted for so many years, but it hadn’t remained
static.
From the initial exploratory stages to the present maturity, the competition
committee had experienced many bumps and turns along the way.
Last year’s global competition first consisted of a round robin, then

elimination matches that culminated in the finals.
It had been said at the beginning of the year that this year’s global games
would be more stimulating, and there were different opinions on exactly
how things would change.
Now, the news was out.
Chen Feng: “First of all, I’ll share the good news. This year’s Glory global
competition will be held in China.”
The four little ones, including salted fish Brother Cai, all exclaimed in
surprise.
Ning Zhehan even flushed with excitement.
Chen Feng continued expressionlessly, “The bad news is that in this year’s
global competition, the China competition zone only has one spot.”
The training room fell silent instantly.

Last year, the China competition zone had three spots, and the top three
from China had been able to enter the competition.
This year…
Chen Feng continued, “It’s been three years. The brilliance left from the
Team of Gods in the Chinese division has already faded away. This year,
our competition zone has been classified as Class C.”
In a Class C competition zone, only the division champions could enter the
global competition.
The three year slump their competition zone had experienced had led to
their seed team quota being reduced to one.
If the China competition zone still couldn’t achieve results this year, then
the scene next year would be too terrible to imagine.
Originally, it was a very joyful thing to have China host the global
competition.
Unfortunately, at this time, it inexplicably brought with it a sense of irony.
It was their home battle. If their results were poor, then wasn’t it…
Chen Feng tossed out another heavy bomb. “The round robin qualifying
round has been cancelled in this year’s global competition. The teams will
go straight into the elimination matches.”
The training room: “!!!”
What did that mean?
This meant that all teams only had one chance.
Either win or be eliminated!

Ch180.1 - Wasn’t the end of an era
also the start of a new era?
The FTW training room was quiet. It wasn’t just them; all the clubs that had
received the news were silent.
3U, RR, TPT.
So many excellent teams had risen up in the China competition zone this
year, but opportunities wouldn’t wait.
Three years ago, FTW, as the only team from the China competition zone,
had won the global championship with a huge 3:0 advantage.
There had been 16 teams in the elimination round, going from 16 to 8, from
8 to 4, then there were the semi-finals and the finals.
FTW won all the way to the top and hadn’t lost even a single small game.
They then won the world championship with a huge 3:0 advantage.
That year, the China competition zone performed brilliantly. The five
players from FTW held up the golden championship cup beneath a shower
of golden light, having shocked the world.
Yan Jiang, Xie He, Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun, Close.
Five young people with unfamiliar faces welcomed the cheers of players
from around the world!
FTW was honored in the Temple of Glory, and the China competition
zone’s seed team quota changed from one to three as they became a Class A
competition zone.
Three years later, FTW had split apart, and the China competition zone had
fallen into a slump.
If it weren’t for Close obtaining the singles championship, they might have
been relegated last year.
However, a singles championship title couldn’t stop the decline of the

competition zone. This year, a new competition system had been launched,
and the reduction of their quota meant that the situation was more tense.
Boring games couldn’t mobilize the audience’s enthusiasm, and the global
competition needed more exciting competitions.
Weak teams were eliminated, and strong teams would fight against each
other.
Ensuring every game full of excitement and fun was exactly what the
competition committee wanted!
China wasn’t the only competition zone that had been downgraded. Japan,
South Korea, and North America had also been downgraded, and only the
European competition zone that had won the world championship last year
had two spots in their quota.
The competition system was cruel, but it also aroused an infinite desire to
fight.
E-sports had always been cruel, and leaving room for unnecessary fights
would instead lead to decadence.
Letting go of all concerns and fighting hard, taking each step on the tip of a
blade, was the real way to fight!
Wei Xiao was the one to break the silence. “F*ck!”
As soon as he opened his mouth, the gaze of everyone in the training room
turned towards him.
Wei Xiao’s eyes were black and bright, the scattered light reflecting inside
like a cluster of flames. “It should’ve been like this a long time ago. If we
don’t play well in the domestic competition, why should we go play in the
globals?”
Wei Xiao: “Especially teams like TPT who hide their ability. This time, I
think they won’t dare to hide anything!”
One sentence was enough to wake up the dreamers!
Little Lunatic Wei’s thought process was always different from that of
ordinary people.
But once they accepted his ideas, they became very open-minded.
Indeed, the new competition system had really wronged the China
competition zone.
Going from three spots to one was like getting a direct hit over the head.
But this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Was the only reason why the China
competition zone had been in a slump for three years because the Team of
Gods had split apart? Was it only because excellent players had gone
elsewhere that they weren’t able to pick up again?
No.
Perhaps it was the three global competition spots that had really shackled
the China competition zone.
The top three from their competition zone could go and play in the globals,
so why did they have to try their best when they competed in domestic
competitions?
A domestic champion team couldn’t even compare with the top four in the
world.
Instead of wasting time at home, it was better to focus on the globals and
fight for a bigger competition stage.
Following this train of thought, if they didn’t even fight properly in the
domestic games, then what would they use to fight against the strong teams
abroad?
It was just like how the regular season was the training period for the
playoffs.
How was the domestic competition not the training period for the globals?
If they messed around during the training period, then what would they use
when they went to play in the global competition?
Perhaps the competition committee had also noticed this point, which was
why they’d directly cancelled the cumbersome qualifying rounds, making
the fighting more intense and the global competition more exciting.
The seed team cuts weren’t limited to the China competition zone, so other
than the championship zone from last year, the remaining competition zones
were also nervous.
The domestic championship was no longer just a domestic competition.
It was the key to higher Glory; it was the gatekeeper, the breakthrough
point, a precursor to the highest level of Glory!
Wei Xiao’s heart stirred, and he blurted out the words that were suppressed
in his chest, “Isn’t it good? Three years ago, FTW went out of the country
and lit up the whole world. Three years later, let’s tell everyone that the
China competition zone’s champion is the world champion!”
The youth’s bright voice held burning passion, scalding everyone’s heart
with a wave of raging heat.
Fear, tension, uneasiness.
To hell with it all!

Having no way back was actually the royal road to victory!
Ning Zhehan abruptly stood up as well and said loudly, “Brother Xiao’s
right! The China competition zone champion is the world champion!”
Yue Wenle and Bai Cai followed suit and started shouting, too.
The gloomy atmosphere in the training room was wiped out and replaced
by vigorous fighting spirit.
The domestic games.
The global elimination matches.
They couldn’t lose a single game!
Looking at these two children who were acting like they were still in middle
school, Chen Feng’s eyes started burning and his competitive heart, which
had been ground down over time, started to fire up again.
Three years.
It had been a full three years.
Could FTW build up its brilliance again?
Chen Feng couldn’t help glancing at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng’s gaze fell on Wei Xiao.
He still had the same calm and unperturbed look, and he was still steady
and self-contained, but the black eyes revealed beneath his eyelids showed
a touch of arrogance.
Chen Feng’s heart felt a shock. He breathed lightly. “Be mentally prepared,
next up, we’re in for a hard battle.”
The four little ones: “We’re not afraid!”

Chen Feng: “You can’t lose a single game.”
The four little ones: “Yeah!”
Wasn’t the end of an era also the start of a new era?
The glory from the Team of Gods had faded, but a new sun was rising up.
Preparing for the playoffs wasn’t all talk.
They had double the training, added longer and more detailed game replay
reviews as well as more targeted, individualized training plans.
Training time for professional players had always been long. In the days
that came, they grew to wish that they could just live in the training room.
Lu Feng also handed over most of his work and focused on training.
He and Wei Xiao had a bigger burden. Not only did they have to break in
formations for the 5v5, they also had to train for the singles and doubles.
This year’s competition system had changed greatly, and it was not just in
the overall framework. They also needed time to analyze and adapt to the
new double and singles competition mode.
Fortunately, FTW had already planned to go the path of the top-jungler

linkage in the doubles and 5v5, so Close and Quiet could use the 5v5 games
to practice too.
As for the singles, there was no need to worry about Close’s personal
operations. As long as he played normally, nobody in the domestic
competition zone could stop him.
After a day of training, Wei Xiao heard Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle
cheering each other on.
Little Ning: “Tomorrow, I”m going to go dye my hair black. If we don’t win
the championship, then I won’t dye my hair anymore!!”
Little Ning’s greatest joy in life was his granny gray, granny blue, granny
purple hair. He didn’t feel comfortable if he didn’t have his hair dyed in
various colors. These harsh words of his were really filled with fighting
spirit.
Yue Wenle fell silent for a moment, then dropped his own words, “If we
don’t win the championship, then I won’t eat chips anymore!”
This was even more ruthless. The God Le who would rather break his head
open and bleed everywhere than lose his chips had actually put down the
root of his life for the sake of the championship!
Wei Xiao was really entertained listening to them. He caught a glimpse of

the Vegetable Salted Fish and asked him, “What about you?”
Wei Xiao repeated Little Ning and Yue Lele’s words to him. Brother Cai’s
reaction: “!”
Wei Xiao: “These little brothers are all trying so hard. Brother Cai, you
should make a statement too.”
The corners of Bai Cai’s mouth twitched.
After being forced by Little Lunatic Wei, Brother Cai also had to be harsh
on himself. “If we can’t get the championship, I’ll… I’ll…”
Wei Xiao looked at him slowly.
Brother Cai gritted his teeth, “I’ll hand over all the small fees that the
captain gave me!” Holy shit, his heart hurt so much that it felt like it was
splitting apart just from saying it!
Wei Xiao thought it over.

Bai Cai thought that he felt that it wasn’t enough, so he added, “And I
won’t take any small fees in the future. I’ll walk Brother Soy, squeeze
watermelon juice, and feed Beast Wei for free!”
Wei Xiao laughed and scolded him, “You’re a f*cking beast.” Not bad, not
bad, Brother Cai had also committed himself.
After Bai Cai spoke these fierce words, his heart hurt so much it was
clenching. He looked at him. “What about you!”
Wei Xiao: “As for me…”
Bai Cai stared at him.
Wei Xiao suddenly leaned in close and whispered a sentence.
Bai Cai: “!”
Wei Xiao: “That’s enough, right.”
Bai Cai: “Get lost! Get the hell out!”
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle, looked over when they heard the commotion.
Bai Cai: “……” This shameless Little Lunatic Wei was really too much!
Ch180.2 - Yuan Ze: Only you can
help him.
What kind of ruthless words had Wei Xiao tossed down? Brother Cai really
didn’t dare to repeat them, but Wei Xiao told Lu Feng about it after he went
back to the room.
He first spoke about the three little ones, then blinked and looked at Lu
Feng. “Captain, do you want to know what I swore to do?”
Wei Xiao laughed evilly. “I won’t say it if you don’t ask.”
Lu Feng pinched his fingers. “Say it.”
Wei Xiao licked his lips. “Kiss me.”
Wei Xiao leaned over and kissed him. “If we don’t win the championship,
then I won’t get into bed with you for three days.”
Sure enough, human language wouldn’t come out of his mouth.
Lu Feng stared at him. “Three days?”
Wei Xiao hurriedly said, “It can’t be any longer!” After that, he changed his
words, “And anyway, we’ll definitely be the champions.” He was full of
confidence.
It was very moving.

Who wouldn’t like this kind of inner confidence?
Lu Feng released his hand and asked him, “Do you know what the schedule
is for the playoffs?”
Eh? Wei Xiao wanted to get close to him. How come the topic had switched
to this? “I have a general idea.”
Lu Feng looked at him. “Do you know the timing?”
Wei Xiao spread his fingers and counted. “Ten days.”
It only took ten days to get from the first game to the national finals.
The most important ten days.
Lu Feng suddenly held his waist and gave him a long kiss.
Wei Xiao was kissed into confusion and forgot everything they’d been
talking about just now. It wasn’t until the captain’s whisper drifted into his
ear, “During those ten days, no sex.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng released him. “Go to sleep early.”
Wei Xiao slowly gathered his wits and opened his eyes wide. “What???”
Lu Feng didn’t repeat himself.
Wei Xiao pounced on him. “You’re not going to f*ck…”
Lu Feng couldn’t listen to this, “Shut up.”
Wei Xiao’s mouth was covered. He blinked his eyes.
Lu Feng stayed steady, and his heart didn’t soften. “The training is too
intensive, your body can’t take it.”
Wei Xiao pouted. “If you didn’t last so long, I would definitely be able to
take it.”
Wei Xiao felt bad just thinking about it. “What do you mean, no sex?
You’re right in front of me. I…”
Lu Feng took a breath and coaxed him, “Solo.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng’s voice was gentle. “During those ten days, I’ll accompany you
whenever you want to solo.”
A huge battle took place in Wei Xiao’s mind. And then…
“Captain, you’re too evil!”
Lu Feng gave him a kiss.
Wei Xiao: “It’s obviously your fault, and now, I have to accompany you and
abstain from sex!”
Lu Feng both loved and found himself unable to get angry with this mouth
of his.
Wei Xiao: “If you weren’t so big, didn’t last so long, and your waist wasn’t
so good…”
Lu Feng blocked his mouth so that he couldn’t go on.
Wei Xiao complained for a while, but he eventually grumbled and

acquiesced.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he agreed, Lu Feng told him to go to sleep early.
Wei Xiao was surprised. “It’s enough that we’re not making love, but we
even have to sleep in separate beds???”
Lu Feng: “You sleep in the master bedroom. I’ll sleep in the guest room.”
Wei Xiao: “No!”
There was a rare hint of compromise in Lu Feng’s tone. “… I can’t hold

back when I sleep with you.”
Wei Xiao’s heart was sweet. “Then don’t hold back.”
Thinking of what he’d just promised, Wei Xiao said ruefully, “Fine, fine, I
won’t tease.”
Lu Feng spoke in a low voice, “Be good.”
Wei Xiao was sincere. “I really won’t tease you. We’ll just sleep.”
Lu Feng smiled briefly and kissed his forehead. He repeated, “I’m the one
who can’t hold back.”
This gentle sentence made Wei Xiao’s heart turn into a puddle of water.
Lu Feng said good night to him again.
Wei Xiao felt wronged to death. “Good night.”
How was he supposed to sleep that night!
After a good night kiss, Wei Xiao lay down on the bed and thought of his
boyfriend.
Lu Feng was next door, and the two of them were separated by a wall,
but…
Forget it, forget it!
Wei Xiao turned over and lay flat on his back, telling himself, “It’s only ten
days.”
To hell with ten days. He was already starting to miss him after just one
minute.
Wei Xiao took out his cell phone and was just about to send Lu Feng a
message.
Old Bandit Yuan: Close’s shoulder doesn’t only need medical

physiotherapy.
This message leapt up into his eyes, and Wei Xiao’s restless heart suddenly
calmed down.
Previously, he’d been busy the whole time and hadn’t seen this message.
Only now, when Wei Xiao looked at the time, did he find that it was already
four hours later.
Fortunately, it was still a decent hour in North America. Wei Xiao replied
back to Yuan Ze, “What do you mean.”
Yuan Ze was in the middle of having lunch. “Finished training?”
“What about your captain?”
It was alright when he didn’t mention him, but once he did, Wei Xiao’s
heart felt sour. “Next door.”
Yuan Ze didn’t think too much of it and lit up a cigarette. “I saw the
recording of his doubles game with you today.”
Wei Xiao: “Holy priest?”
Yuan Ze: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “My captain knows how to play it.” He just hadn’t been willing
to cooperate with Asleep in the first game.
Yuan Ze spat out a smoke ring. “Like hell he can.”

Wei Xiao couldn’t bear to hear anyone say bad things about Lu Feng and
was about to blow up when Yuan Ze’s next words pushed his temper back
down. “He only trusts you.”
This one sentence smoothed Wei Xiao’s fur back down again. Wei Xiao
typed, “Of course.”
Although Yuan Ze couldn’t see him, he could still see that Little Lunatic
Wei’s tail must be flipped up towards the sky from reading between the
lines. He sighed lightly. “He’s 20 years old, and has finally learned to trust
others.”
Wei Xiao’s eyebrows twisted briefly. Instead of lying down, he sat up and
leaned back against the head of the bed to type, “Isn’t it because you guys
are too scummy.”
Wei Xiao: “Three years ago, if the Team of Gods hadn’t broken up, would
my captain have been so miserable?”
The cigarette in Yuan Ze’s hand was no longer so fragrant with Wei Xiao’s
straightforward words.
He extinguished the half-finished cigarette and typed carefully, “An

opportune place and an opportune time.”
It was a vague sentence, but Wei Xiao understood it, and he even felt a
burst of heartache.
The right place and the right time, neither of which could be omitted.
Indeed, even without mentioning the Team of Gods from back then, he
himself had left Lu Feng two years ago.
Close had come to FTW, met Yuan Ze and Yan Jiang, and won the world
championship, standing on the highest podium of Glory.
He must have changed. At least in 5v5, in the team competition, he started
trying to trust others.
It was a pity that the next step was the fragmentation of their team, and this
attempt that had been made with much difficulty collapsed completely.
Close didn’t trust his teammates, so he couldn’t bring himself to say that he
wanted to buy FTW.
Whether or not he could manage it was already a question mark.
Whether or not they would stay for him was also another question mark.
Close didn’t trust his teammates, and he didn’t even trust himself.
Yuan Ze hesitated for a while, then finally typed out a line, “Back then, I
didn’t understand why Yan Jiang chose WP.’”
Yuan Ze continued, “WP’s reputation was very bad. Yan Jiang knew that
very clearly, yet still signed the contract. It really wasn’t his style.”
At the time, Yan Jiang signed with WP and was scolded extremely fiercely
in China. They almost nailed Yan Jiang up onto the pillar of shame.
What kind of garbage team was WP?
It was famous for only caring about money. As long as the money was
there, the players didn’t matter.
They’d signed Yan Jiang at a high price, but they only looked at his fame
and everything else was as important as a fart.
At that time, the domestic fans went crazy. However much they liked Yan
Jiang was how much they had hated him back then.
Without mentioning how he walked away so emotionlessly, just the fact that
he’d chosen WP was enough for people to scold him to death.
Why else would he have chosen WP?
It was only for the money.
Fans also hoped that their favorite players could live a wealthy life, but
giving up their faith and persistence and becoming a tool for money was
looked down on.
After going to WP, the domestic audience couldn’t see that Yan Jiang
refused to cooperate with the team, but Yuan Ze could.
In the first year, WP’s results were dismal, and Yan Jiang was flamed like a
dog by the European competition zone.
Then, WP went too far and was even less willing to treat Yan Jiang like a
person as they tried their best to squeeze out all they could of his value.
Yan Jiang gathered evidence and fought a lawsuit for an entire season
before finally terminating his contract and going to Y1.
In 2020, he led Y1 to win the world championship.
But what was the purpose of those two years? As long as he waited for one
more month, Yan Jiang could have completely avoided WP and gone to
EVE with Xie He.
EVE was countless times better than WP. At the very least, they wouldn’t
squeeze their players to death.
Yuan Ze’s fingers itched slightly, but he didn’t light another cigarette. “At
the time, Yan Jiang knew what Close intended to do.”
He’d known that Close wanted to buy FTW and had known that Close
would persist in doing so.
Wei Xiao was stunned and sat up even straighter. “Since he knew, why did
he have to go?”
Yuan Ze touched on it lightly, “A 17 year old youth wanting to buy a giant.
It’s not something that can be done without paying a price.”
Yuan Ze: “FTW wasn’t a third rate team. They had a lot of capital behind
them, and acquiring it required more than money.”
No matter how clever Wei Xiao was, he was still a stranger to these things.
His experience limited his thinking. There were many things that went
beyond his imagination.
Yuan Ze continued, “Close never spoke about his family background, but
his surname is Lu. In S City…” There really was a famous family surnamed
Lu.
Wei Xiao’s back chilled. He finally understood why he felt that the names
Lu Mingze and Qing Lei were familiar.
“If it was that Lu Family, then Close could definitely buy FTW, but would
his parents support him?”
Wei Xiao gripped the phone tightly.
“He ran away from home and came to FTW, then went back to beg them for
FTW…”
“Yan Jiang was right.”
“We don’t deserve for him to give up his life.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were red, and his fingers trembled.
Yuan Ze closed his eyes for a moment, then typed bitterly, “His shoulder
injury wasn’t from strain, it was trauma.”
Wei Xiao’s heart froze. Dense pain spread through his chest.
Yuan Ze was also very unhappy, “He was only 17 years old and had only
played for a bit more than a year. He also liked to exercise; how could he
have strained it?”
No one knew what Lu Feng had gone through when he went home.
A professional player, a 17 year old youth who’d just won the

championship, what had he experienced, and what had he had to
compromise before acquiring FTW?!
Wei Xiao’s voice felt like it was blocked by a stone. He couldn’t say
anything at all.
Yuan Ze took a light breath and said slowly, “Wei Xiao, he trusts you.”
FTW wasn’t the only thing that shackled Lu Feng.
“Only you can help him.”

Ch181 - This year’s Glory is ours!
Lu Feng’s suite had three rooms and one living room.
Wei Xiao was in the master bedroom, the study was in the south, and the
last room was the guest room.
After Lu Feng said goodnight to Wei Xiao, he didn’t return to the guest
room and instead went straight to the study.
May nights were cool.
After the rain, there was a lingering sense of dampness in the room that
stuck to the skin, making it hard to breathe easily.
Lu Feng pulled at the neckline of his shirt, tugging down the round collar of
his t-shirt and revealing half of his pale collar bone. Unfortunately, it didn’t
relieve the feeling of stuffiness at all.
There was a little countdown on the bright computer screen.
Every team had this kind of thing. It was similar to the countdown to the
college entrance examination, but every second and every minute of this
timer counted down to the end of the season.
A lonely end or honor and glory.
Expectations were hidden in these numbers and embedded in the heart.
Lu Feng shifted his gaze away. His fingers curled lightly, and he pulled
open the unlocked drawer beside him, revealing a document that had been
placed there neatly.
He leaned forward slightly, took out the document with the black cover, and
held it in his hands.
The back of his pale hand contrasted with the black file.
There was a whisper of sound as the document flipped open.
Lu Feng dropped his gaze and looked at these words that he’d already
memorized.
This was an agreement to a gamble that had been signed three years ago. It
was signed by: Lu Feng, Qing Lei.
That year when Lu Feng went home, he’d had a showdown with Lu Mingze
in the hopes that he could buy FTW and help him.
From childhood until 18 years old, Lu Feng had never begged anyone for
anything, especially not his parents.
There was nothing to ask for.
What Lu Mingze wanted the most every day was to have another child who
had nothing to do with Qing Lei. Unfortunately, it was futile no matter how
hard he tried.
Qing Lei hated Lu Mingze, and she also disliked Lu Feng, who looked like
Lu Mingze. For her own benefit, she’d even tossed young Lu Feng abroad
for three or four years.
Lu Feng had already known very clearly that he had no home by the age of
six or seven.
Having a mother and father didn’t mean one had a home.
The house Lu Feng lived in had nothing to do with the home that was
written about in books.
Strangers who were related by blood. This was the definition Lu Feng had
for them.
But at the age of 18, when faced with FTW splitting apart, they were the
only ones Lu Feng could think of.
He had spoken to Lu Mingze about the e-sports industry, the huge profits
that could be gained after investing as well as the prospects and future of
the club.
Lu Mingze’s response to him had been a baseball bat.
He had hit him heavily on the shoulder, truly wanting to render his son’s
arm useless.
Lu Feng’s forehead was coated in cold sweat, but he didn’t feel much pain.
His shoulder was numb, his heart was numb, and the last cluster of flames
went out.
Lu Mingze hit him like he’d gone crazy. Lu Feng didn’t dodge, he didn’t
leave, and he didn’t cry.
All the way until Lu Mingze grew tired. He called him a ‘piece of trash’,
then slammed the door and left.
Lu Feng stood there in the magnificent living room. He was there all night.
Lu Mingze didn’t come back. At ten o’clock the next morning, an

exquisitely dressed and made up Qing Lei came down from the second
floor.
Standing on the curved staircase paved with white marble this woman in
high end clothing didn’t appear middle-aged at all. She seemed to have
stopped aging at 25 or 26, using money and selfishness to maintain her
beauty.
Qing Lei stopped on the third step and looked down at him from above. “I
can help you.”
Lu Feng raised his head abruptly.

Qing Lei’s colorful lips seemed to be painted with blood. “As you know, I
never do business at a loss.”
Lu Feng whispered, “I can manage the club well.”
Qing Lei chuckled lightly. “Triple my investment.”
Lu Feng’s heart sank. “I need time.”
Qing Lei: “You’re 18 now. At 21, then.”
Qing Lei glanced at him and continued, “There’s another condition…” She
approached Lu Feng and spoke in his ear, “If you can’t win the world
championship by 21, you’ll get the hell back here and be an obedient dog.”
Qing Lei was a business woman and would never say empty words, even if
it was to her only son.
Every clause in the agreement drawn up by the lawyer was put into
practice.
The investment amount, the rate of return, the income distribution… all the
terms were clear.
Anyone who looked at this agreement would find it absurd.
What Qing Lei gave Lu Feng was a piece of poisonous driftwood that had
made him suffer from corrosion and torture in order not to sink to the
bottom of the sea.
From 18 to 21.
Lu Feng won three global singles championships, but the agreement

required a team competition championship.
Lu Feng’s birthday was in December, and this year’s world championship

was his last chance.
If he didn’t win the championship, he… not only would he have to retire, he
might not even be able to protect Wei Xiao.
Lu Feng leaned back in his chair, his eyes revealing a rare trace of fatigue.
If he was an obedient dog for Qing Lei, then what qualifications would he
have to be with Wei Xiao?
Knock, knock, knock.
Along with the knocking at the door came a youth’s clear voice, “Captain?”
Lu Feng tossed the document back into the drawer and adjusted his mood as
he stood up, “Haven’t you slept yet?”
His voice had just fallen when Wei Xiao pushed open the door and came in.
Lu Feng saw his red eyes, and his heart leapt up. “What’s the matter?”
It was obvious that he’d been crying.
Wei Xiao threw himself into his arms and hugged him.
Lu Feng was a little at a loss. “Don’t cry, what happened?”
Wei Xiao liked to mess around during normal days and liked to pretend to
cry, but Lu Feng was very clear about the difference.
He could tell whether he was really suffering or if he was just playing

around.
Wei Xiao buried his face between his shoulder and neck and spoke in a
trembling voice, “Your shoulder…”
Lu Feng patted him on the back. “Didn’t you read all the treatment reports?
It’s already recovered.”
Wei Xiao shook his head. “Was it hurt because Lu Mingze beat you?”
Lu Feng’s hand froze.
Wei Xiao looked up at him. “How did you acquire FTW three years ago?”
In fact, Wei Xiao had thought about a lot of things before he came over. He
wanted to be gentle, wanted to speak in a roundabout way and had wanted
to talk to the captain about it slowly.
But as soon as he entered the room and saw Lu Feng, all of his plans
disappeared. He just wanted to tell him what he thought, and he wanted to
accept all of Lu Feng’s intentions and thoughts.
Without hiding, avoiding, or covering up anything.
They trusted each other.
Lu Feng’s hold loosened. There were a lot of words he wanted to say, but
they were stuck in his throat and wouldn’t come out.
He glanced at the drawer he’d just closed out of the corner of his eye, and
the agreement covering his gamble appeared in his mind.
He wanted to show Wei Xiao, wanted to tell him everything, wanted him to
know.
But, he couldn’t.
Winning the championship was already a difficult enough task.
The burden on Wei Xiao’s shoulders was already heavy enough. Would it
crush him?
His Little Xiao was only 19 years old.
But he felt guilty for hiding it from Wei Xiao.
He’d made so many promises, yet he’d turned out to be a complete liar.
Wei Xiao wouldn’t let him avoid his gaze. “Tell me.”
Lu Feng could only look him in the eyes.
Wei Xiao had just been crying, and the tears that coated his black eyes
made them even brighter, “Tell me all of it.”
Lu Feng’s thin lips trembled. “Sorry.”
Wei Xiao was anxious. “What are you apologizing for? I love you!”
These three words shot straight into Lu Feng’s chest.
Wei Xiao looked at him without blinking. “I love you, so I want to know
everything about you. I want to share joy with you, and even more, I want
to shoulder the pain with you. Could it be that you don’t feel the same?”
“Could it be that you don’t…”
Lu Feng breathed in lightly. “I love you.”
Wei Xiao was a little shorter than him. He had to stand up on his tiptoes to
kiss away his frown.
Wei Xiao kissed him decisively. His eyes were firm. “Tell me.”
Wei Xiao waited for him patiently.
Lu Feng wavered. “Come with me.”
Wei Xiao kept up with him and watched as he pulled open a drawer. He saw
the lonely file placed inside.
Lu Feng’s fingers trembled as he handed the document over to Wei Xiao.

“I’m sorry; I lied to you.”
I lied to you about accompanying you forever.

I lied to you about being able to stay with you forever.
I lied to you about giving you love, family, and a home.
In fact, he had nothing. He didn’t even have himself.
Wei Xiao bowed his head and looked at the document. He read it very
slowly, going over every word very carefully.
The wording was very proper, the words official and rigid. This was an
agreement that didn’t hold any human feelings.
In order to acquire FTW, Lu Feng had promised Qing Lei a lot of

conditions that were difficult to achieve.
Triple the return on investment.
Extremely excessive profit distribution.
Shocking terms, one after another. If it was shown to any club management,
they would all be struck dumb with awe.
However…
Lu Feng did it all.
There was only one condition left, and it was the most deadly one.
––Win the global team competition championship before the age of 22 or

retire and return home to do Qing Lei’s bidding.
Did Qing Lei love Lu Feng?
No.
Then why did she give ‘a helping hand’?
On one hand, it was to gain revenge against Lu Mingze, and on the other
hand, it was to control Lu Feng.
She and Lu Mingze couldn’t get a divorce in any case, and Lu Feng was Lu
Mingze’s only successor. If she could control Lu Feng, then the ultimate
fate of the grand business empire would still be in her hands.
Lu Feng sold himself when he signed this agreement.
Wei Xiao spent 20 minutes reading over the entire document.
Although Lu Feng didn’t look at it, it was imprinted on his heart, and he
was very clear on what was written.
When Wei Xiao closed the document, Lu Feng’s heart beat violently in his
chest.
He’d lied to him.
He’d really cheated Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao trusted him so much, but he…
Wei Xiao raised his head, and there was no sorrow or disappointment in his
eyes. On the contrary, they were shockingly bright. “So this means, we just
have to win the championship!”
Wei Xiao clenched the document hard and spoke in a tight voice, “Your
birthday is on December 24th. There’s only one global competition left
before that.”
Lu Feng stilled for a moment. “Yes.”
Wei Xiao suddenly held his hand and said excitedly, “You’ll be free if we
take down the championship!”
Lu Feng felt like he was in a trance. Wei Xiao’s eyes were filled with
excitement and joy, and the words he spoke were like a hammer that broke
open the heart he’d closed up tight.
Although Wei Xiao didn’t know much about operating a club, he knew that
FTW had developed very well in recent years. The haters even flamed Lu
Feng, saying that he might as well not play games and go be a businessman
instead.
Wei Xiao pointed to the terms of the agreement. “This one, this one, and
this one. You’ve done them all already, right?”
Lu Feng nodded.
Wei Xiao then asked, “Only the last one, the team competition
championship is left?”
Lu Feng dropped his gaze. “Yes.”
Wei Xiao breathed lightly and hugged him. “That’s great, this agreement is
great!”
Wei Xiao kissed him hard. “I didn’t understand wrong, right? This is a
gambling contract!”
“If you can’t meet the terms in the contract, you’ll have to retire, go home,
and do Qing Lei’s bidding.”
“If you achieve all the terms in the contract, then you can stop listening to
her!”
A gambling contract.
No matter how harsh the terms were, they were binding to both parties.
Qing Lei had given Lu Feng very strict demands so that he wouldn’t be able
to achieve his goal and would fall into her control.
But if Lu Feng managed to succeed and achieved them all, then he would
be able to get rid of her completely!
If they could look at the problem from another perspective…

Hell was nothing but the scenery along the way to heaven.
Lu Feng understood what Wei Xiao meant.
It took him a long time to find his voice again, “But, the team competition
championship…”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved, and he twined their fingers together. “For The Win.
This year’s Glory is ours!”
xiin: if you look at this novel from another perspective… without WX to

lighten things up, some parts of Glory would stab me hard enough to leave
me broken and bleeding to death…
Ch182 - God Q, where's your
husband?
Wei Xiao’s thought process had always been different to that of others.
When faced with this gambling contract, most people would see heavy
burdens, pressure, and cruel deprivation.
Even Lu Feng, who had struggled against his fate, had only seen the burden
he had to carry to move forward.
Only Wei Xiao saw the buds of new growth emerging from the decaying
ruins.
And he himself was the light that broke through the night sky, the light that
allowed the bud to take root and grow!
Lu Feng’s dreary heart grew bright.
The damp coldness from the rainy night was swept away, leaving behind
brilliant sunshine.
“Mm.”
His voice quivered slightly with this single monosyllable.
Wei Xiao wrapped his arms around his neck and pressed their foreheads
together. “Captain.”
“Hm?”
“I’m very happy.”

“……”
“I’m very happy that you showed me.”
Lu Feng: “!”
Wei Xiao wasn’t afraid of difficulties and dangers, nor did he feel burdened
moving forward. He was afraid of being alone.
Lu Feng was alone.
He was also alone.
Bearing burdens alone wasn’t beneficial to the other party. Rather, it pushed
them away.
For two people who loved each other, what they desired the most of all was
to move forward in life side by side.
One person might find it impossible to solve a problem alone, but two
people together might suddenly see the light.
When one was tired from staring on ahead, why not turn around and take a
look at the person beside them?
Their ten fingers were intertwined, and the edge of the knife, the sea of fire,
became insignificant.
The dark haze in Lu Feng’s heart dispersed. He looked at Wei Little Xiao,
who was only a short distance away, and finally couldn’t bear it anymore.
When the two of them separated, Wei Xiao’s face was red, his ears crimson.
“Captain, you kiss so seductively.”
Wei Xiao, who’d previously stirred up endless trouble due to how they were
abstaining from sex was now faking being serious. “Don’t seduce me. I’m
going to focus on training.”
Lu Feng’s kiss landed on his neck.
The sensation made Wei Xiao’s body shiver. “We said… wu…”
Lu Feng kissed him. “Tomorrow.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved. “Tomorrow? In that case, captain, go for it. Please
do it enough for ten days…”
Lu Feng picked him up, then went to the two meter wide bed in the master
bedroom.
Later on…
Don’t worry, no matter how much he could do it, it still wasn’t possible to
fit ten days’ worth in one night.
Even if Lu Feng could do it, Wei Little Xiao couldn’t.
The consequences of letting his mouth say whatever it wanted was that Wei
Xiao’s eyes ended up red and his voice hoarse the next day.
Brother Cai was shocked. “You…”
Brother Cai picked up a piece of leek for him. “Supplement yourself well.”
Wei Xiao hated eating this kind of thing. “…… Get lost!”
The internet was also boiling with activity after the new competition system
was announced.
The audience scolded the game organizers for being stupid, calling the new
system idiotic, saying that the competition system was becoming more
backwards, and claiming that it was becoming less interesting the more they
changed it. They claimed that the game organizers didn’t even want money
anymore.
Just from looking at the competition system for the globals, many investors
also wondered about what they intended to do.
The global competition that had originally lasted for a month was now
compressed to a short week. Dozens of games were now reduced to a little
over ten. Were they giving up on the ticket money? Did they not want the
live broadcast fees anymore? Was advertising money not attractive
anymore?
Were they treating money like dung?!
It was only after the official game spokesperson came out to clarify that
everyone suddenly saw the light.
The game committee wasn’t treating money like dung at all. They were
releasing a long fishing line to catch big fish.
The Glory system had a gaping wound that had lasted for many years. The
global competition was outstanding, but the competitions in various
competition zones were in a slump.
Every global competition was given special, extra attention, and regardless
of whether it was tickets, broadcasting rights, or naming rights, they were
all extremely profitable.
But Glory had over ten competition zones, and their competition period
lasted for nearly eight months, while the global competition only lasted for
a single month even before the restructuring.
This one month created great value, but had also had a deep impact on the
competitiveness of each competition zone.
The seed teams from each competition zone were clumsy and weren’t
played to their fullest potential, making the competitions in each
competition zone very uninteresting to watch.
The audience wasn’t stupid. Instead of spending money there, why not wait
for that one month of globals?
One after another, each competition zone was sucked dry by the global
competition, and the situation in some smaller competition zones became
increasingly difficult.
The global competition was important, but the individual competition zones
were the foundation for the globals.
The competition and the game complemented each other. If the competition
in the competition zones were weakened, it would only reduce ordinary
players’ devotion to the game––not all national teams were able to play and
shine in the globals.
If they lost ordinary game players, then what would happen to the
competition?
Fighting to the death domestically, then also having a fierce battle globally.
That would be a genuinely brilliant performance.
Shortening the global competition cycle and strengthening the domestic

competitions would create more exciting games.
Making the competition more brilliant would kick off a virtuous cycle.
Of course, no matter how much the game organizers and their water armies
explained, the players would still scold whatever they wanted to scold.
The game officials understood the deep responsibility brought about by the
love in their hearts (presumably).
Two or three days passed by quickly.
Wei Xiao had really been working hard these days. Not only were there
training matches, he’d doubled his personal training, and when he had time,
he would pester Lu Feng for solo like crazy.
He really wished that there were 48 hours to a day so that he could master
the shadow thief’s nine light arcs.
Even Lu Feng couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was needed to fully master
the nine light arcs.
Practice made perfect, but it wasn’t the case for the nine light arcs.
The theory for the nine light arcs was out there, and even the formula for
the combo was very clear. Although it was more troublesome than the
combo for other skills, it was still relatively easy to memorize.
The difficulty lay in the rapid changes that took place during the game.
In competitive games, it was the unexpected that made them so interesting

to watch. But it was also the unexpected that made things so difficult.
There were changing talents and changing professions in the canyon,

different ways of matching up equipment, and different players with
different styles and positioning…
The mix was ever changing and could even be endless.
How could nine light arcs be played out amidst these changes?
It wasn’t impossible, but it was very risky.
Instead of relying on the nine light arcs, it was better to reduce the effort
spent there and practice other talents. This was why most people didn’t
pursue the nine light arcs.
An unstable ‘absolute kill skill’ was far less reliable compared with basic
skills that succeeded 100% of the time.
There was an element of luck in competitions, but anyone who relied on

luck had IQ problems.
Wei Xiao was so persistent with the nine light arcs for two reasons. Firstly,
he was confident that he could achieve it, and secondly, this was something
he yearned for.
He believed that he could do it, and he yearned for it because Lu Feng had
achieved it, which led to his persistence.
Neither Chen Feng or Lu Feng tried to stop him, which was also related to
these two reasons.
No one could do it, but Lu Feng could do it.
No one could do it, but Wei Xiao could also do it.
His self-confidence made others believe in him.
After the promotional video was released, the China competition zone
welcomed its first game in the playoffs––
FTW vs GOQ.
As the first team in Group A, FTW took the lead in the playoffs.
The competition time was set at 3:30PM. FTW set out from their base to the
venue at 2PM.
In the van, Wei Xiao leaned towards Lu Feng and said quietly, “Speaking of
which…”
Lu Feng lowered his voice, “What?”
Wei Xiao counted on his fingers. “You promised me before that we would
solo for three hours for each game we won in the regular season, ten hours
for each game in the playoffs, and 100 hours for the China
championship…”
This little brain of his was really the limit. He remembered everything so
clearly.
Wei Xiao chuckled. “Does that mean that we can solo however I want from
now on?”
Lu Feng had really already paid out too much time soloing because of the
sex ban. “Mm.”
Wei Xiao naturally had a reason for bringing this up. “In that case, this
agreement can’t be voided.”
Lu Feng: “You can’t have already obtained the global championship

achievement in advance?”
Wei Xiao still remembered this. “Oh yeah, if we win the global
championship, then it’ll be for as long as I want.”
Lu Feng: “So?”
It would be void regardless.
Wei Xiao leaned in even closer, his breath blowing into his ear. “How about
changing solo to making love.”
Wei Xiao wanted to say more, but Lu Feng pulled off his coat and covered
his legs.
Wei Xiao: “?”
Lu Feng held his hand under the coat. “Shut up.”
Wei Xiao’s heart felt sweet, and he quietly scratched at his palm with his
fingers.
Lu Feng closed his eyes to rest his mind.
When they arrived at the stadium and the fans waiting outside saw FTW’s
van, their shrill screams penetrated through the window, scaring awake the
sleeping Brother Cai.
Wei Xiao slid down the window and waved to the fans.
The fans screamed even more fiercely, and there was a sentence mixed with
the shouting, “God Q, where’s your husband!”
That person changed their words, “Oh, that’s not right, God Q, where’s my
husband!”
Wei Xiao was originally going to let Close show up, but now, he
straightened his waist and strictly blocked his captain from view.
Your husband? You must be dreaming!
Brother Cai, who’d noticed this little detail: Wasn’t sleeping great? Why did
I have to wake up!
In the backstage lounge, Wei Xiao saw GOQ’s mid-laner, jungler, and
support trio.
The three children stood upright and stopped just short of giving him a
salute.
Wei Xiao waved his hand. “Work hard.”
The three children: “Yes, grandmaster! We will work hard, grandmaster!”
Wei Xiao was amused. “What are you working hard at?”
These three children had a sense of propriety. “We’ll work hard at lying
flat!”
Wei Xiao clapped them on the shoulder. “Not bad, not bad, your futures are
promising.”
Can you be a little less f*cking shameless? Was ‘your future is promising’
supposed to be used like that? Don’t insult these four words!
Their words might be bratty, but they played very seriously once they went
up on the stage.
The better their private relationship was, the more they should play their
hardest in the arena.
For example, when it came to the three from GOQ, after becoming
grandmaster fanboys, they became even more eager to kill the grandmaster,
even in their dreams.
They were too embarrassed to ask FTW for a training match, but they
would regret it for a lifetime if they didn’t seize this opportunity now that
they were meeting in the competition.
These three had indeed been polished by their experience, and their
performance was very promising. Ten minutes into the start of the game,
Wei Xiao went to GOQ’s top jungle zone to seize resources, while Little
Ning provided vision from the mid-lane. “The ice mage isn’t here.”
Brother Cai also spoke from the bottom lane, “There’s only a druid here.”
Which meant that the other side’s support wasn’t there.
Wei Xiao looked at the minimap and understood in his heart. “Captain!”
In the live broadcast room, the fans who were watching from God’s
perspective were all panicked. ‘Is Quiet just going to go in alone?”
“There are three people from GOQ hiding there!”
“This red daddy is bait, and the big fish they’re trying to catch is Quiet.”
“Ahhhh, stay steady, grandmaster! We can’t afford to play recklessly in the

playoffs!”
The haters also started to make noise, “Let’s congratulate GOQ on winning
the first playoffs in advance!”
“They might not get the first win, but they’ll get the first kill.”
“This year’s dark horse sends out a First Blood. God Q is really godly!”
The scrolling comments were filled with scolding, but the commentator
noticed more details. “Close is coming closer, but GOQ’s top-laner hasn’t
noticed yet!”
GOQ’s top-laner had been pressured too miserably. He didn’t dare to poke
his head out even when clearing his lane soldiers, always feeling as if the
great demon king was waiting for him everywhere.
Wei Xiao finally arrived at GOQ’s red jungle zone. Seeing that the other
side’s ice mage’s skill was tossed over, the berserker thief tossed his scythe
towards the grass and interrupted the skill, locking in on the ice mage.
GOQ’s mid-laner’s heart was shocked, and he cried out in their team chat,
“I-I-I got locked in!”
GOQ’s jungler forced himself to remain steady. “Don’t panic, there are
three of us. You die first, and the two of us will get revenge for you!”
The ice mage cried and wailed. After being drawn in by the berserker thief,
he saw something out of the corner of his eye, and his heart practically
froze. “I seem to have caught a glimpse of the divine warrior…”
In this game, Close had taken the divine warrior.
GOQ’s jungler: “……”
GOQ’s support: “…………”
The two of them spoke at the same time, “Is there still enough time to run
away now?!”
Wei Xiao could see what they were thinking in their hearts through the
screen. “It’s too late.”
xiin: i think i got the chapter number right this time… *whistles*
Ch183 - Beaten up by the husband
and husband pair...
The berserker thief landed a whole set of skills on the squishy ice mage,
while GOQ’s jungler and support also sent out their skills.
The giant shaman played well, covering the ground with fire before his
huge body landed and shattered the ground over the whole area.
Wei Xiao happened to be within range and was sent flying by special effects
that made the ground look like it was cracking open.
The commentator, Brother Big Mouth: “The giant shaman’s ultimate move
was used beautifully, and the spread of the ground fire was well controlled.
He calculated the berserker thief’s positioning and sent him flying with the
edge of the skill.”
Commentator Lili continued, “Unfortunately, it was a little far away. The

wind storm thief was unable to deal damage right away.”
Brother Mouth: “Close has arrived, and the divine warrior’s control
reduction buff lands on Quiet’s body!”
This situation was changing too fast!
The giant shaman had landed a perfect ultimate move, but the divine
warrior’s buff reduced the effectiveness of the hit by 50%. Originally, it
could control Wei Xiao for two seconds, but now, it could only control him
for at most one second.
This one second was deadly.

The wind storm thief reached DPS range and played out its skills. If this
one second of control hadn’t been lost, then Wei Xiao would’ve died.
But with this one second, Wei Xiao was able to avoid at least half of the
attack.
The wind storm thief had a much lower farm than Wei Xiao. One full set of
skills was enough to kill Wei Xiao, but when it was half a set… the
berserker thief still had one third of his health left, and he was now in a
state of frenzy!
They were done for.
The two players from GOQ thoroughly wanted to run away.
“As long as the green hills remain, there will be no need to fear having no
firewood. Brothers, hold on!” GOQ’s jungler turned to run, selling out his
teammates with no remorse.
The giant shaman cursed in the team chat, but his operations were very
dutiful and generous as he tried to resist Close and Quiet’s dual attacks and
create an opportunity for his teammate to retreat.
Three seconds later, the giant shaman fell to the ground.
The wind storm thief ran away quickly and was already far away from the
berserker thief, but his heart still held a lingering fear. “I’m still alive,
Laozi’s really badass, I managed to escape from the hands of two demons…
holy shit?! Old Cow, don’t send yourself off to die ahhhhh!”
Old Cow was GOQ’s top-laner. Earlier, he’d already been beaten up by
Close until he couldn’t even be angry.
Death knight vs divine warrior.
Reasonably speaking, the death knight had an absolute advantage.

Regardless of whether it came to clearing soldiers or trading health, the
death knight had a talent advantage far superior to that of the divine warrior.
The divine warrior was a support type top-laner. It could stack up buffs,
give shields, resist damage, and play out a bit of damage.
Unfortunately, Close was the one playing the divine warrior.
He was a man who could overturn the heavens with his performance using a
holy priest, so there was no need to mention the divine warrior.
The death knight was pressured until he was about to die, to the point where
he didn’t even notice where Close was. By the time he found out that there
was fighting in his top jungle zone, he rushed over and arrived too late.
It had taken Wei Xiao two seconds to kill the ice mage, and it only took him
three to four seconds to fight against the giant shaman and wind storm thief.
The death knight had rushed over after the second two and had arrived just
when the wind storm thief had retreated.
This was a fatal mistake that communication couldn’t make up for.
The time involved was too short, and words were often delayed.
The wind storm thief withdrew, but the death knight had sent himself over.
The death knight yelled, “Damn it, what the hell are you guys running for!”
He’d come over to provide support; couldn’t four people kill two?
The wind storm thief: “It’s over, it’s over…”
He didn’t know if he should go back or not and was really flustered.
Close’s skills landed accurately on the death knight, interrupting his ability
to switch forms.
There was no need for anything to be said. Quiet gave up the wind storm
thief and locked onto the death knight with his scythe.
He pulled him back, went around him, and the death scythe slit his throat!
FTW.Quiet killed GOQ.Niu.
GOQ’s three children had tried to gank the grandmaster, yet as a result…
They were triple killed.
The fans in the scrolling comments all burst out in excitement, and the
rainbow farts they blew out made even the rainbow fart professional Wei
Little Xiao feel inferior.
Of course, the haters wouldn’t shut up because of this. They continued with
their sarcasm, “Psht, FTW can only abuse weak teams.” The haters always
made sense when they flamed, and anyone who tried to go up against them
would lose.
For Wei Xiao to have gotten three kills at the start of the game meant that
GOQ was really done for.
The berserker thief was a hero that led the rhythm of the game, and Wei
Xiao was a real jungler core player. When he started going crazy, the other
side collapsed and had no way to turn things around.
Within 30 minutes, the game ended amidst the dancing of the berserker
thief’s scythe.
When the settlement panel came out, the commentator Lili sucked in a
breath. “This berserker thief accounted for 46% of the DPS!”
Brother Mouth commented, “Quiet’s DPS has always been good, ranking in
the top three of our competition zone.”
The director provided the data rankings. Number one was TPT’s Eurostar,
second was RR’s Moonlit, and the third was Quiet…
There were many categories in the data rankings. In general, the players in
the DPS data rankings were core DPS positions (marksman or mages).
Because of their professions and talents, junglers generally didn’t rank as
high in the DPS data rankings.
There weren’t that many bug-like existences like Wei Xiao even across the
world.
Asleep was already a very strong jungler in the China competition zone, but
he was ranked seventh in the DPS rankings, which explained a lot.
Was it really a good thing that Quiet’s DPS was so high?
The fans screamed shrilly and made themselves dizzy praising Q, but the
discerning members of the audience saw a significant hidden danger.
TPT’s game was next. Fu Li and Eurostar had arrived at the venue early and
were watching the game through the live broadcast from behind the scenes.
Eurostar tsked when he saw the data rankings. “Quiet is really too fierce.”
Fu Li was wearing a pair of gold glasses, and his eyes couldn’t be seen
clearly under the reflection from the light. He took a sip of his black coffee
and said slowly, “Maybe it’s not that he’s fierce.”
Eurostar blinked his pair of big eyes and looked at him. “Hm?”
Fu Li: “Look at Yue Wenle. This was last year’s number one ADC in our
competition zone.”
There was always a shadow under the light.
Bai Cai and Yue Wenle had contributed a lot to FTW’s championship last
year.
Of these two newcomers, one was calm and didn’t make mistakes, while the
other was explosive and violent. When Close wasn’t able to play to the
fullest, the two of them had still been able to pull the team together to
achieve the intended strategies, which was enough to show how excellent
these two players were.
However, FTW was on the rise this season, but Yue Wenle, the supernova
from last year, had been quiet.
Eurostar was very familiar with his captain. His eyes were bright. “A chink
in the armor?”
Fu Li didn’t say anything.
There was no room for moderation under the new competition system.
This year’s TPT was the blade that would tear everything apart!
The playoffs were BO5, which meant the first to reach three wins in five
games.
Winning the first game did boost morale, but it didn’t mean that the results
were settled.
How many games had ended with three consecutive wins after two losses?
And how many games had ended with losing three games in a row after
winning a single game? The ultimate outcome of a BO5 game was
impossible to predict before the match point.
The second match started quickly. GOQ hadn’t been relying on luck in
order to advance into the top 8 this year.
For them to be able to struggle and get up again when faced with adversity,
it meant that at the very least, their mentality was strong.
GOQ’s mid-laner, jungler, and support had died miserably, but they also
adjusted quickly. The BP segment was very stable overall, and they didn’t
ban the berserker thief just because it had beaten them up in the previous
game.
They’d already used the death knight and didn’t want to let the great demon
king have it, so the death knight and shadow thief both appeared up on the
ban positions as they paid these talents their highest respect.
The line-ups were confirmed. Wei Xiao had taken the immortal thief in this
game.
Although GOQ had had the tables turned on them when they tried to gank
Wei Xiao in the last game, they hadn’t given up in this game and were
ready to engage with the immortal thief. They vowed to topple this drifting,
immortal man to the ground and smear him into the floor.
And then……
“This 10,0000 swords in the sky is too poisonous, why is it so accurate!”
“98 of the 99 swords all hit… why are we called GOQ, let’s just call
ourselves a pile of wooden posts and be done with it!”
“Even wooden posts aren’t as able to catch as many sword hits as you
guys.” These were complaints from the fans in the scrolling comments.
The consequences of trying to catch Wei Xiao was that they were beaten up
by the husband and husband… ah, no, the FTW top-jungler combo.
One rout led to disastrous defeat. The immortal thief wasn’t the same type
of rhythm leading talent as the berserker thief, but once its farm increased,
its damage became more explosive than that of the berserker thief. Wei
Xiao particularly liked to cut down the c-positions, and GOQ’s mage and
marksman were like youngsters who experienced getting beaten up by
society and were doubting life!
2:0!
In the first game of the playoffs in the China competition zone, FTW
completely crushed their opponent!
There was a half-time break before the match point.
If FTW won the next game, they would win 3:0 against GOQ and storm
into the top four of the country in a domineering manner.
If GOQ could steadily win a game, then it was possible for them to catch up
from behind.
The players took off their headsets and stood up. The camera switched to
FTW, and it was unknown what Wei Xiao was saying as he got up, but Lu
Feng tilted his head to look at him, and Wei Xiao winked his left eye…
The live stream room exploded.
“Holy shit, holy shit, this wink really electrocuted me!”
“How can the great demon king hold up against it? Push down this little
lunatic ahhhhh!”
“I don’t care; this CP I’m shipping is real. That affectionate gaze must mean
they’ve slept together!”
“Wake up, fellow sister. I used to think that the great demon king and the
little wife were real.”
“I don’t know why, but I feel that the thin and weak Brother Cai standing to
the side looks a little aggrieved.”
“My great demon king and little wife CP, they’ve collapsed into a ditch!”
“Calling it a ditch is too much, at most it’s just a vast green grassland…”
The team chat was no longer recorded after their headsets were taken off,
and the cameras wouldn’t capture sound. Other than Close who had heard
what Wei Xiao had said as the one involved, only Brother Cai heard it as
well.
Brother Cai was really aggrieved, but it wasn’t because the top of his head
was green. Rather, it was because he had been stuffed full of dog food after
the game.
Wei Xiao: “Captain, wasn’t I damned handsome in that last wave just
now?”
Wei Xiao blinked. “Of course, you’re more handsome than I am.”
Brother Cai’s expression looked constipated.
Chen Feng was waiting in the lounge. When he saw them come back, he
praised them formulaically, “Guard against conceit, guard against rashness,
and work hard to win the next game.”
The four little ones: “Okay!”
At this time, Xiang Liu pushed the door open and came in. “Who is going
to go record the trash talk segment?”
The half-time interval lasted 15 minutes. In order to improve the live

broadcast effect, teams from both sides had to select two people to go and
record trash talk. It made the live broadcast more exciting and gave the
audience more to look forward to.
Wei Xiao immediately raised his hand. “I’ll go!”
When it came to trash talk and such, Quiet was a specialist.
Chen Feng stared at him. “Behave.”
Wei Xiao said innocently, “When it comes to trash talk, I’m very good at
it.”
Chen Feng rolled his eyes. “We already have a 2:0 advantage. You don’t
need to go out and pull aggro.”
If they were at a disadvantage, then they could let Little Lunatic Wei out to
bite people. But they should save it when they already had a sufficient
advantage so as to avoid stirring up the other side’s fighting spirit and
increasing the risks.
“Bai Cai and Old Yue go, then.” Chen Feng named people directly.
Brother Cai didn’t care. “Alright.” He was used to it, anyway.
Yue Wenle quietly set down his potato chips. “Okay.” He didn’t talk as
much, but his trash talk ability was still sufficient.
They left, and Wei Xiao couldn’t behave himself anymore. He sat there for
a minute before coming up with bad ideas. “Captain~”
Lu Feng looked at him out of the corner of his eye. “Hm?”
Wei Xiao leaned over and said, “Do you want to go to the bathroom?”
Wei Xiao turned his back to Little Ning and bit his lower lip. “Together?”
Little Ning: Brother Xiao is a primary school student and has to hold hands
when he goes to the bathroom.
Chen Feng: …………………………………………………………

Ch184 - Quiet’s handsome and
sunny, and he looks like a little
puppy when he smiles.
Ning Zhehan couldn’t see Wei Xiao’s face and could only hear his words.
Little Ning knew nothing about what was going on with his captain, but
was afraid that Wei Xiao might feel embarrassment after being rejected. He
hurriedly interjected, “I also want to go to the bathroom. Brother Xiao…”
Lu Feng stood up.
Double Standard Wei came online. “Go on your own. You’re not a primary
school student, do you still need someone to accompany you when you go
to the bathroom?”
Chen Feng couldn’t continue listening on any longer.
The lounge door closed, and Ning Zhehan looked over with confusion
written all over his face.
Chen Feng was afraid that Little Ning would really go as well and end up as
a lightbulb, so he kept him back and said, “In the game just now…”
Little Ning immediately sat up straight and listened honestly to Coach

Chen’s improvised game review.
Wei Xiao stepped out of the lounge, looked around for a while, then hooked
his little finger around Lu Feng’s fingers.
Lu Feng kept walking straight ahead.
Wei Xiao was unable to seduce him and trotted a few steps forward to catch
up. “Are we really going to the bathroom?”
Lu Feng asked him, “Didn’t you have to go?”
Wei Xiao grinned. “Captain, you really don’t know anything about the local
customs.”
Lu Feng suddenly grasped Wei Xiao’s wrist, surprising him for a moment.
“Eh…”
In the next moment, his vision darkened, and he was pulled into a dark
room.
The door closed behind him, and his lips were being bitten.
Wei Xiao’s heart pounded, and he closed his eyes to return the kiss.
When the two of them separated, Wei Xiao’s voice was soft and powerless,
“Captain~”
It was over, this darkness was so exciting.
Lu Feng was very close to him. “Hm?”
Wei Little Xiao was shameless. “I want more…”
But Lu Feng didn’t kiss him again. “After we get 3:0.”
Wei Xiao was just about to kick up a fuss when he heard footsteps
approaching from outside.
The hand Lu Feng had around his waist suddenly tightened, and Wei Xiao
didn’t even dare to squeak. He didn’t even dare to breathe too hard.
He tried to speak to Lu Feng with his eyes in the darkness: What’s going
on? What’s this room for?
Lu Feng: It’s nothing.
Wei Xiao: !
Lu Feng: ……
Eye contact communication failed. Lu Feng’s ‘it’s nothing’ became

‘something’ in Wei Xiao’s eyes.
It was over, it was over, they were going to be discovered, and this shocking
news would really blow up the hot search.
There was no way for Lu Feng to speak, so he remained equally motionless.
The footsteps outside stopped, and Wei Xiao’s eyes widened even further.
It was rare to see Wei Little Xiao scared of something; Lu Feng found it
quite interesting.
“Sigh, Close is really too damned handsome when you look at him from
close up.” It was a refreshing female voice.
After that came the voice of another girl, “Honestly, do you think Close has
a girlfriend?”
“No way! I can’t imagine how he would look when he spoils someone
else!”
“The great demon king is a little out of reach, but Quiet’s great too.”
“That’s true. Quiet’s handsome and sunny, and he looks like a little puppy
when he smiles. When he’s fierce, he looks like a little wolf dog…”
“Did you notice? He has a very nice mouth, with lips that are lifted like a
natural smile. It looks a lot more natural than make-up.”
“His lips are good looking, too. They look so tender. If I didn’t already
know that he has no make-up on, I would want to know what color he’s
using.”
“Why ask for lip color? Ask for a kiss instead.”
“You’re such an evil auntie!”
“I’m only three years older than him.”
“Is marrying an older woman like holding a gold brick?”
“Aiya, I can dream…”
As the girls laughed, their footsteps finally faded away.
Inside the dark room, the two people involved looked at each other.
Wei Xiao blinked and asked, “Is my mouth very good looking? Wu…”
What he got in response was a kiss that left him breathless.
Was it good looking?
It wasn’t just good looking.
The half-time break was soon over.
After Brother Cai and Yue Wenle came back from recording their trash talk,
Wei Xiao asked them about what they said.
Bai Cai: “There’s no need to boast about having a big advantage, we just
have to stand firm and stay steady and be done with it.”
Yue Wenle: “3:0.” What kind of trash talk did he have to say? He’d just
drop ruthless words!
Wei Xiao was amused. “Badass, Old Yue.”
Yue Wenle crunched his potato chips. “It was alright.”

Wei Xiao laughed and got up. “Let’s go. For God Le’s sake, we’ll beat
GOQ 3:0.”
When they entered the stage again, the lights fell on FTW’s black uniforms
and coated them with a thin layer of gold.
Dazzling and intense, like the ray of sunshine that brought on the dawn.
They recalibrated their peripherals again, and after the referees checked
their equipment, both sides entered the BP link.
GOQ’s half-time break was very different from FTW’s.
This was their match point. They’d be eliminated directly if they lost, and
no matter how steady their hearts were, they were still unable to smile at
this time.
The coach gave them a serious talking to, “You keep insisting on acting
tough, but can you tough it out against Close or Quiet?”
GOQ’s mid-laner, jungler, and support were all in tears.
The coach spoke fiercely, but he wasn’t really angry: Firstly, it was already
beyond everyone’s expectations for GOQ to reach their present position.
Secondly, FTW was tough, and GOQ might not be able to win this game
even if they won the lottery.
One great demon king was already more than they dared to offend, and
adding on a little lunatic––what could ‘good people’ like them use to fight
with?!
GOW’s bottom lane had a thought. “Calm down, you three. The top-lane
and jungler are difficult targets, but if you can’t beat them, can’t you avoid
them?”
GOQ’s top-laner Old Cow also spoke up, “I think so, too. In any case, I
won’t be able to suppress Close no matter how you guys support me.”
“And Quiet is particularly fond of supporting the top lane.”

“It’s not just the top lane. The whole top jungle zone is like their backyard.”
“Comparatively speaking, the bottom jungle zone is relatively quiet.”
“How about this…”
The few of them got together and discussed it for a long time. They really
saw a potential ray of life.
“Give it a try?”
“Try it!”
“It’s the match point anyway, we’ll go all out and be done with it!”
“Yeah, we’re not scared to lose, and if we win, then Laozi’s going to party
tonight!”
Winning the game was too difficult, but taking down a small match would
be enough for them to boast about for half a year!
GOQ’s coach was very happy as he watched these five people.
Although, in his opinion, this trick of theirs was a bad idea, he didn’t stop it.
To have the spirit and enthusiasm to not be discouraged when encountering

a strong enemy, to think of a way when faced with a difficult problem, this
was the most important thing!
In the China competition zone that had been in a slump for three years,
many people had started seeing sparks of light in the dark.
The BP was quick and decisive. The shadow thief couldn’t be released, and
it wouldn’t be released in this lifetime.
Quiet’s nine light arcs might be unstable, but the great demon king’s light
arcs were very stable.
What if Close took the shadow thief and went to the top lane? How would
they live then?!
Wei Xiao took the wind storm thief in this game. He’d used three different
thief talents over three games, and Quiet used his own strength to tell
everyone––FTW’s jungler hadn’t only inherited the nine light arcs; it had
also inherited a talent kaleidoscope!
You wanted to target him?
Even 12 ban positions weren’t enough!
After entering the game, Wei Xiao started with the red jungle zone as usual.
Oh, it was naturally the opposite side’s red jungle zone.
GOW’s jungler snuck a look over and obediently shrank back.
Wei Xiao issued a command, “Old Bai, pay attention to the bottom jungle
zone.” Since GOQ was avoiding a fight, they must be planning to steal his
lower jungle.
Bai Cai: “Got it.”
Wei Xiao cleared the jungle zone extremely quickly. His skills went out like
floating clouds and flowing water, and the damage he dealt was maximized
to the point that those with obsessive-compulsive disorder spammed the
scrolling comments screen like crazy, “Cool!”
“The smoothness of a top level jungler is really comfortable to watch.”
“I’ve saved this clip. It can be played in a loop and used as a video to
decompress.”
“Is the wind storm thief skin so handsome? I want to buy it.”
“Whether or not the skin is handsome depends on who is using it.”
The audience was staring at Wei Xiao because the director was keeping the
camera on him.
The commentators saw the bigger picture. “The situation in the bottom lane
seems a little wrong.”
“Is GOQ planning to ambush Yue Wenle?”
“Brother Cai is in the bottom jungle providing vision, and GOQ’s jungler
and support cleverly bypassed him.”
“If the power thief’s ground stab catches Yue Wenle, it’ll be difficult for
him to get away as a gold hunter!”
In FTW’s team chat, Wei Xiao suddenly spoke up, “Old Yue, be careful!”
The power thief and the holy priest’s figures had already appeared on the
screen.
And Yue Wenle’s position was a bit closer to the front as he’d been
suppressing the other side’s ADC.
The author has something to say: Wei Xiao: “Don’t panic.”

Ch185 - Brother Xiao, isn’t having
the captain already enough?
As soon as their opponents exposed themselves, the two sides’ positions

could clearly be seen on the map.
GOQ’s jungler and support were surrounding them from the bottom, and
GOQ’s marksman no longer hid behind the tower and eagerly tried to hold
back Yue Wenle.
Looking at Yue Wenle’s position, he looked like dumpling filling that was
waiting to be wrapped up and surrounded.
Wei Xiao was currently killing the wolf creep. “Old Bai, teleport.” Then,
he hit the teleport button himself.
If GOQ wanted to fight, then they’d fight.
Unexpectedly, Yue Wenle actually stopped them. “No need.”
Wei Xiao’s teleport was still casting.
Yue Wenle: “Don’t break your rhythm.”
Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment. He moved his fingers and stopped the
teleport, smiling as he said, “Badass, Old Yue.”
Yue Wenle stared at the screen, his voice languid, “It’s alright.”
The conversation between the two of them made Ning Zhehan twitch his
ears. “This sounds familiar.”
Bai Cai rolled his eyes. “Middle-schoolers are easily amused.”

Yue Wenle didn’t let Wei Xiao teleport because Wei Xiao was in the top
lane and had only finished snatching up half of his resources. The best
result that could be achieved from him coming down at this time would be
him killing one of GOQ’s players, but it would be very difficult to keep Yue
Wenle alive.
FTW and GOQ would trade one kill for another, but FTW’s jungle clearing
rhythm would be thrown off, resulting in greater losses.
Yue Wenle’s positioning was reckless, but this judgement wasn’t reckless at
all.
The fans’ understanding was a bit shallower, and their hearts had already
started to beat fiercely.
“Are they going to sell Lele out?”
“Although Lele’s positioning is a bit reckless, it’s completely possible for

them to fight if they teleported over.”
“If they sell him, then they sell him. As long as Quiet can develop, GOQ is
still done for.”
“God Le’s the marksman, though. Is it okay for FTW to abuse their ADC
like this…”
What the haters said didn’t need to be mentioned. In any case, it was all
repetitive speculation about FTW’s failures. If it didn’t make the players
themselves break down, it was still enough to mess with the mentality of
the fans, and in any case, it did nobody any good to see it.
On the commentator stand, Brother Mouth and Lili were also analyzing the
battle situation.
“The gold hunter is a talent that relies heavily on farm. Dying once at the
start of the game will have a big impact.”
“But if Quiet chooses to go support him in this wave, the upper jungle zone
will be lost and it wasn’t easy to dominate. Instead, they’ll fall into GOQ’s
feint and attack trap.”
“Team GOQ is amazing; they’ve found a way to calm down after losing
two games. They’re really worthy of being a team that has rushed their way
into the top eight.”
“Brother Mouth, did my eyes blur for a moment? Did Quiet press the
teleport button, then cancel it?”
“It seems that they discussed it on team chat.”
The situation changed, “Yue Wenle didn’t retreat. Instead, he approached

the enemy’s defense tower!”
The director fixed the camera to show the canyon’s bottom lane. Another
shot locked in on Yue Wenle’s face.
Yue Wenle was born pale, the type of paleness that seemed bloodless, and
his features were very tender. He was clearly already 18, but he looked like
a middle schooler. Adding on the way his chips never left his hands, when
the club went out for events and he stood next to Brother Tang, the staff
would actually think that they were father and son.
Last year, he’d attracted countless fans when he joined FTW.
This silent number one ADC in the country hadn’t shown up out of thin air.
The gold hunter was a marksman talent with limited movement ability. It
didn’t have any movement skills, and its biggest advantage was that it had
many control skills––strong control and soft control.
The so-called soft control was similar to a slow effect and couldn’t
completely lock people down.
If the gold hunter was used well, then almost all of the damage it dealt
would bring about a deceleration effect. Yue Wenle was very good at this
tactic.
Seeing that GOQ’s jungler and support were coming up behind him and that
the power thief’s earth stab was already on its way, Yue Wenle flashed
back. He was able to dodge the ground stab, but was unable to avoid the
holy priest’s bubble tune.
But he didn’t retreat at all. He ignored the two players behind him and
rushed straight towards the other side’s defense tower.
GOQ’s marksman, who had come out from beneath the tower in order to
cooperate with his teammates, was dazed for a moment. “Holy shit, what’s
he doing!”
GOQ’s jungler and support’s eyes also grew wide. “We heard before that
God Le was reckless, but… is he really this reckless?!”
Yue Wenle withstood the damage from the defense tower as arrows flew
towards GOQ’s marksman, one after another.
GOQ’s marksman’s health had already been pushed down by a third, and at
this time, he couldn’t hold up against the gold hunter’s intense assault.
GOQ’s junger reacted. “F*ck! Old Hua, hurry and hit him with a basic
attack!”
But it was too late.
By the time GOQ’s marksman responded, his health had already reached
the bottom along with Yue Wenle’s.
GOQ’s jungler used a movement skill to rush over, but was only able to hit
Yue Wenle’s body.
First Blood!
FTW.Le killed GOQ.Hua.
FTW.Le was killed by the tower.

There were exclamations across the whole scene!
This wave of operations was too wonderful!
Old Yue, who’d been surrounded like dumpling filling, had advanced
instead of retreating and had recklessly obtained the greatest benefits he
could in a situation where his death was certain!
He couldn’t run in any case, and it would be pointless even if he used flash.
Since his death was certain, Wei Xiao and Bai Cai wouldn’t be able to save
him even if they came. If they really did come and didn’t play well, they
may have ended up sending themselves to death one after another instead.
Instead of messing up the jungler’s rhythm and impacting the team’s

development, it was better to take First Blood.
In fact, there was a bit of luck involved in Yue Wenle sending his kill to the
tower. He hadn’t expected GOQ’s marksman to cower so much that he
didn’t even dare to click on him once.
When towers attacked players, as long as the opponent even touched the
player a little bit, the kill would be attributed to the player.
Unfortunately, GOQ’s marksman had too little health, and his reaction had
been too slow. He’d been caught by surprise by Yue Wenle’s attack, and
he’d already fallen by the time he thought to click and attack.
Wei Xiao whistled in the voice chat.
Yue Wenle’s expression was calm. “Routine operations.”
Wei Xiao was amused. “Captain, was Old Yue our team’s king of boasting
before I came along?”
Brother Cai and Little Ning both thought that their cold-faced great demon
king wouldn’t reply. Unexpectedly…
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Bai Cai and Little Ning laughed themselves silly.
GOQ had utterly failed with their attempt and were reflecting on it like
crazy in their team chat.
“He’s not so-so.”
“Nonsense! After all, he was last year’s supernova…”
“Ahhhh, it’s all because the grandmaster is too eye-catching and blinded me
so I thought that God Le was soft and easy to bully.”
“I just f*cking remembered, last year when FTW met 3U in the semi-finals,
it was Asleep and Yue Wenle who dazzled the whole scene, okay?”
“…………”
“I was too presumptuous!”
Not only did they remember that, even the fans remembered it.
In last year’s FTW, the great demon king was still in the jungler position,
Brother Tang was in the top lane, and they had a so-so stand-in player in the
mid-lane. Yue Wenle back then had been the most brilliant player.
Asleep and Congyi’s jungler and support combo was known as the crazy
dogs of the canyon.
Although Bai Cai was a zen youth, he was unable to hold up against Yue
Wenle’s recklessness, and the two of them created a unique chemical
reaction when they played together.
Last year, Asleep had torn through all the c-positions in the canyon, but Yue
Wenle was a hard bone to crack.
In the semi-finals, the five games they played were filled with thrilling
excitement, and it was Yue Wenle’s frost hunter who’d determined the
winner!
That precise arrow made of dark ice locked in on Asleep every time.
It caused up to two seconds of control, and all Cong Yi could do was

‘sacrifice himself for love’!
GOQ’s Coach Sun watched calmly from beneath the stage.
The idea that the team had come up with in the lounge was to avoid Wei
Xiao and target Yue Wenle.
Although they’d taken a very zen mentality with them when playing in the
playoffs, who didn’t have a small desire for victory burning in their hearts?
Even if it was a huge mountain, they still wanted to climb over it.
Even if it was a sea, they wanted to conquer it.
Wasn’t that what e-sports was all about?
Taking down an impossible victory was what real competition was!
Coach Sun knew very clearly that Yue Wenle wasn’t an easy target, but he
didn’t pour cold water over their heads.
Go ahead.
It wasn’t a big deal to lose.
Playing a good game was the best nutrition on the path to growth!
Backstage, in the TPT lounge.
Eurostar clicked his tongue. “Old Yue is still vigorous.”
Fu Li asked him, “If it was you just now…”
Eurostar: “How would I let myself get into that position?”

Yue Wenle was reckless, while he was careful. As a little cowardly baby, he
had the advantage of being more sensitive and alert, and wouldn’t have
been surrounded like dumpling filling.
Fu Li: “What I’m saying is, what if you were GOQ’s marksman.”
Eurostar got it. His eyes brightened. “First Blood would be mine. I’m not
Old Yue’s.”
The implication was that he could easily kill Yue Wenle, and Yue Wenle
shouldn’t even think of killing him.
This was the gap between players.
GOQ didn’t give up. Although their first round of sneak attacks failed, they
were very clear on their intentions for this game and insisted on going up
against Yue Wenle.
As long as Wei Xiao showed himself, they would swiftly pounce over to the
other side. GOQ’s support was like a chicken thief, and first built up an
acceleration buff so that he could take the mid-laner and jungler with him,
moving around swiftly like a gust of wind.
In fact, it would be very easy to mess with them. Wei Xiao only needed to
stalk them on the bottom lane, since they didn’t dare to go mess with Close
no matter what.
If he stayed in the bottom jungler zone, he’d be able to catch the three little
guys every time.
But Wei Xiao didn’t stand guard over the bottom lane.
He didn’t say anything, and Lu Feng didn’t speak up, but Chen Feng, who
was off-stage, saw things very clearly.
They were indeed giving Yue Wenle this opportunity.
Yue Wenle was a very good marksman, but he’d previously been
‘overshadowed’ by the two suns in the team.
Once he was given space to shine, he could hold up half the sky.
A team’s ADC was crucial.
They might be able to rely on Wei Xiao and Close’s strong operations to
steamroll over immature teams like GOQ, but once they met a strong team,
it would really rely on the integrity of the whole team.
Not only did the top-lane and jungler need to be iron buckets, their mid-
laner and ADC also needed to be indestructible.
Under GOQ’s frenzied attacks, Yue Wenle was still able to become a gold
daddy in the later half of the game.
In the last wave of group fights, Ning Zhehan dealt ranged attacks from afar
while Yue Wenle’s DPS exploded – just three arrows from him left his
opponents at critical health. By the time GOQ wanted to escape, there were
two demon kings waiting behind them.
Their top-jungler combo harvested the kills, and GOQ was wiped out!
Victory!
FTW won the game 3:0 and charged into the top four!
FTW won beautifully in the first game of the playoffs.
When the two sides shook hands after the end of the game, GOQ’s players
all had red rimmed eyes.
Wei Xiao smiled broadly and hugged them. “You’ve worked hard.”
It was okay when he didn’t say it, but once he did, the mid-laner, jungler,
and support from GOQ all burst out crying. “Next season, we’ll…”
Wei Xiao spoke in a gentle voice, his tone like he was coaxing them, “Well,
we’ll still beat you up until you cry next season.”
The three children from GOQ: “……………..”

They cried even louder!
Bai Cai jabbed this big villain with his elbow. “Enough, stop toying with
them.”
Wei Xiao was startled and snuck a glance at the captain.
At this time, the host had just come over with the microphone. She heard
the end of their conversation and joked, “Toying? Who is Quiet toying
with?”
You really know how to pick up the thread of the conversation.
Wei Xiao didn’t want his boyfriend to be jealous at all, and he was just
about to clarify everything in front of the whole country.
But Brother Cai was worthy of being the commander of FTW’s dog head
division, and his ability to adapt to the situation was absolute. “Toying with
me.”
The host was amused. “How so?”
Brother Cai expressionlessly stirred up his own popularity. “He disdained

me for only following God Le in the last game and got jealous.”
The whole scene burst out into laughter.
Unexpectedly, Yue Wenle added a sentence in a dark tone, “Brother Xiao,

isn’t having the captain already enough?”
The microphone arrived in Lu Feng’s hand, and the great demon king’s
voice was clear and cold, “It seems that it’s not enough.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
The fans in the live broadcast were going crazy with laughter. “Little
Lunatic Q, you’re really capable. You actually led my FTW male god group
astray and turned them into a crosstalk group ahahahahaha!”
Ch186 - Wei Little Xiao's
superpower.
There was another game after theirs, so the FTW team didn’t leave. Xiang
Liu had made the arrangements beforehand and gotten them seats beneath
the stage to watch the game from.
Fans screamed as the TPT players came up onto the stage.
In particular, the Li-Star sisters acted like it was the new year as they
shouted again and again, “Li-Star is real!”
Beneath the stage, Wei Xiao was sour and jealous. “Captain, do people yell
like that when we go up on stage?”
It was too noisy backstage, and Wei Xiao couldn’t hear him clearly. He
leaned in closer. “Hm?”
Lu Feng said quietly, “We’re not a CP.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng looked towards the stage.
Wei Xiao’s heart was so sweet that he had to share it with someone. So, he
went to bring disaster to Brother Cai. “That’s right, me and the captain
aren’t a CP.”
Brother Cai hadn’t heard the earlier conversation between the two and his
expression was confused: “???”
Wei Xiao explained to him seriously, “Look at how loudly the Li-Star CP is
shouting, but what’s the use? Fu Li and Eurostar are as straight as steel and
way too fake.”
Brother Cai: “… You can shut up now.”
Wei Xiao heard him, but he acted as though he hadn’t as he continued,

“True love doesn’t need to be shouted out loud. Just like me and the
captain, we have to keep it hidden…”
“Little Ning.” Brother Cai called out to Granny Gray.
Ning Zhehan’s expression was innocent. “What’s up, Brother Cai?”
Bai Cai: “Let’s change seats.”
Bai Cai: “Your Brother Xiao will explain God Li’s mid-laner play style to
you.”
Little Ning was easily fooled. “Okay!”
They quickly changed seats, and he looked earnestly at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao was stared at by his big, innocent eyes: “……” He now had
nothing to talk about!
TPT was a very unique team.
During last year’s domestic competition, TPT hadn’t been as outstanding as

RR and 3U, but they were a team that nobody could look down on.
Especially when it came to their captain, Fu Li.
A professional player who was even more professional than their coach was
a very terrible presence in the canyon.
Some people said that he was a bit like Yan Jiang, but anyone who was
familiar with them knew that they were quite different.
Yan Jiang was more self-absorbed and wouldn’t cultivate other players. He
would use his own talent to support the right people and create the world
championship team Y1.
Fu Li seemed a little softer. He wasn’t as talented as Yan Jiang, but he

would use his hard work and efforts to train up suitable teammates and
slowly polish up the current TPT.
Y1 had a soul, and that soul was Yan Jiang.
TPT also had a soul, but its soul was Fu Li’s precise calculations.
Chen Feng sat to Lu Feng’s left. He said quietly, “TPT is very strong this
year.”
The fans had quieted down a lot as the game was about to start. Wei Xiao
heard them and stretched his head over. “Stronger than RR and 3U?”
Lu Feng explained to him, “Their growth was more significant in

comparison.”
Wei Xiao thought about it and understood. “Especially during this season?
TPT’s growth was very fast?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
This was understandable.
Ordinary players only looked at the results from the current game, but the
players in the circle had a better sense for it.
If last year’s 3U and RR were at 70 points, then they’d grown to 80 points

this year.
TPT was only at 60 points last year, but they’d also risen up to 80 points
this year and were still growing, while 3U and RR had encountered many
bottlenecks.
Wei Xiao focused on the competition and whispered, “… Who will we meet
in the semi-finals?”
FTW had taken the lead to enter the top four and would be facing the semi-
finals next.
The semi-finals were based on a draw system. The four teams would be
split into two groups that attempted to enter the finals.
If nothing unexpected happened, then the top four teams should be FTW,
TPT, 3U, and RR.
Who would FTW meet in the four into two game?
Who would FTW meet in the finals?
Chen Feng said quietly, “It would be best not to encounter 3U in the semi-
finals.”
Wei Xiao heard him, but he didn’t answer because Little Ning was sitting
beside him, followed by Brother Cai and Yue Wenle.
Chen Feng didn’t elaborate on the topic, either. He stopped talking after
stating his point.
But those who understood in their hearts were very clear about what he
meant.
What stage TPT would reach in their growth was still up in the air, but 3U’s
strength could be seen from the surface.
Reasonably speaking, 3U’s core was their jungler, and FTW was also set up
the same way. When it came to jungler core against jungler core, Wei Xiao
wouldn’t lose.
But, in fact, team competitions weren’t the same as singles or doubles.
Wei Xiao could beat Asleep, but he might not necessarily have a chance to
fight Asleep.
Asleep and Cong Yi’s cooperation was remarkable even among the whole
Glory scene. If the two of them focused on ganking Yue Wenle and Ning
Zhehan, then these two would find it difficult to develop.
If they couldn’t protect their own c-positions, then Wei Xiao and Lu Feng
would find it hard to sustain their play.
Tonight, Yue Wenle had shown a wave of heavenly operations, playing with
the GOQ team until they were turning around in circles, but if they
encountered 3U…
Even without mentioning whether or not 3U’s ADC would give Yue Wenle
the opportunity to suppress him, just Asleep’s ganking was sneaky enough
that there wouldn’t be any sense of his presence ahead of time.
A cheetah’s terrifying patience and super explosive damage would put great
psychological pressure on squishy players.
Under this pressure, a player’s mental quality was tested even more.
Of course, Wei Xiao could also go and catch 3U’s c-position and give as
good as they got.
So, that led to the question…
3U’s mid-laner and marksmen had different characteristics compared with

FTW’s.
They would rather give up resources to preserve their lives, avoiding the
sharp blade of attack like a loose pile of cotton.
FTW and 3U had played a lot of training matches together.

The more familiar they were with each other, the more they got to know
each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
If possible, Chen Feng didn’t want FTW to meet 3U in the semi-finals.
FTW still needed time to grow, and any scrap of time was precious.
The game on the stage started. TPT was up against a team called YLY,
which was an old veteran team.
YLY had won the domestic runner-up five years ago, but their path had
grown bumpy after that, and they kept hovering around the gateway to the
playoffs.
They were able to get into the top eight in the country, but it was always a
short round trip.
YLY’s abbreviation had been interpreted by other people as an acronym for

‘round trip’ in Chinese pinyin. It was distressing.
TPT’s style had always been stable. They started steadily and made no
errors in their group fights. As long as they could enter the late stage, they’d
be invincible.
A well-developed Eurostar would become the brightest cub in the canyon.

Regardless of what marksman talent he used, as soon as one arrow went
out, even a giant shaman would lose a quarter of its health.
In the first game, TPT won without suspense, and it was even a little boring.
Wei Xiao tsked, then leaned close to Lu Feng. “Fu Li is really boring.”
Holding back their strength when facing a weak team meant that they won
without any surprises.
Wei Xiao continued, “Right?! If they’re playing in a competition, then they

should play well and do their best. Why look down on the opponent?”
Lu Feng suddenly looked at him and asked, “Do you want him to look
down on you?”
Wei Xiao was stunned, then got it.
His eyes curved like a fox. “Captain, you’re really evil.”
Chen Feng, who was beside them, “……”
Can you two pay more attention!
TPT won against YLY with an advantage that was just sufficient.
YLY’s mentality had obviously collapsed a little. Their tone was very
aggressive during the trash talk segment, and they were almost unable to
maintain basic etiquette.
TPT never contributed trash talk and would only say a few official sounding
words, but what was revealed with their politeness was their real arrogance.
YLY was in even worse condition for their third game, and it could be seen
that they’d struggled to suppress TPT in the early stages so that they
wouldn’t have a chance to play in the later stage.
Unfortunately, TPT ‘cooperated’ perfectly, playing a little more fiercely

when their opponent played more fiercely, and if their opponents were more
aggressive at the start, then they would also follow suit and accompany
them to the end.
Finally…
Fu Li used the trickster warlock to take down a quadrakill and ending the
game.
The entire audience gave them warm applause. Fans screamed Fu Li’s name
and cheered for him like crazy.
The screen was fixed on the final scene. The trickster warlock was dressed
in clothing as dark as night, his body slender and cold, with dozens of
blood-colored flames floating around him. These were the passive skills
that had stacked up after killing an enemy and represented blood and death!
This game was uninteresting. Wei Xiao sighed. “The trickster warlock
could’ve gotten a pentakill.”
In the last round of the group fights, as long as Fu Li had been a little more
careful, he could’ve taken down the first pentakill in the playoffs. But he’d
let it go.
YLY’s jungler’s kill was given to Eurostar, and his streak leading up to the
pentakill was broken.
To be honest, if Fu Li had taken the pentakill in this round, YLY wouldn’t

have thought much of it.
But he’d let this pentakill go instead, which was really enough to anger
them to death.
Poor YLY lost in a mess, and they could only bear with it despite being so
angry they’d blown up like pufferfish.
The post-competition interview wasn’t very meaningful. FTW took

advantage of the time when the crowds hadn’t yet gotten too big to step out
of the venue first.
On the way back to the base, Chen Feng held a small meeting. His intention
was to warn them to be on guard against arrogance and impetuousness,
since the real battle had only just begun.
Wei Xiao’s eyes unfocused as he listened, and towards the end, he fell
asleep because Lu Feng’s shoulder was too comfortable.
It was almost 11 o’clock by the time they returned to the base. Chen Feng
waved his hand to let everyone rest early, indicating that they’d go over the
game replay tomorrow.
Wei Xiao yawned as he left the training room.

Lu Feng asked him, “Tired?”
Wei Xiao’s tired state disappeared, and there wasn’t even the slightest bit of
sleepiness in his eyes. “Captain, go and sleep first. I’m going to stay up all
night tonight.”
Lu Feng: “?”
Wei Xiao pushed him upstairs, then went up on tiptoes to kiss him. “Don’t
worry. I’ll find a chance to catch up on sleep tomorrow.”
Lu Feng held his wrist and asked, “What are you staying up all night for?”
Wei Xiao didn’t hide it from him. “Watching today’s game.”
Lu Feng’s eyebrows twisted together slightly. “We’ll go over the replay

together tomorrow.”
Wei Xiao couldn’t quite explain it himself. “I have to see it myself…”
Lu Feng: “See what?”
Wei Xiao felt a little embarrassed. “… Um, how should I say it? I have a
superpower.”
Lu Feng: “………………”
Although Wei Xiao was usually shameless and even acted like he was still
in middle school, he still felt like he was about to explode from
embarrassment at this time. His cheeks grew a little red. “Really…”
Lu Feng’s interest was piqued, “What kind of superpower?”
Wei Xiao grew even more red after Lu Feng asked that.
Lu Feng looked around, saw that no one was there, and kissed him gently.
“Tell me about it.”
His voice seemed to carry electricity that made Wei Xiao’s heart feel itchy.
“Don’t seduce me, I’m very busy tonight.”
Wei Xiao was afraid he’d do something and said, “I’m going to watch Old
Yue.”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao really couldn’t explain it. “I just have to watch Old Yue’s game
and thoroughly understand him.”
Wei Xiao continued, “Really! It’s been like this from the training camp. I
just have to watch the match with me and my teammates, and I’ll be able to
cooperate with them perfectly!”
Lu Feng’s heart felt like it had been hit. “Little Xiao…”
Wei Xiao urged him again, “In any case, hurry up and go sleep. See you
tomorrow morning.”
The words Lu Feng wanted to say stopped at his lips, and he ultimately
didn’t say them out loud.
That night, Wei Xiao didn’t sleep, and Lu Feng basically didn’t sleep,
either.
At 1AM, Lu Feng went downstairs and looked through the window of the
training room. He saw the big boy sitting in the e-sports chair and staring at
the screen without blinking.
At 2M, Lu Feng went downstairs again. Wei Xiao was still in the same
position, like a beautiful statue that had been placed there.
3AM…
4AM…
5AM…
For a full six hours.
Wei Xiao always maintained a high level of concentration, constantly

watching himself and Yue Wenle play in the competition together.
Lu Feng leaned against the door and dropped his gaze, hiding away the
feelings rising up within him––
How did Wei Xiao have any sort of superpower?
What he had was just countless times the sweat and round the clock effort.
Ch187 - Some people were like the
vast and lonely sky.
At seven o’clock, Wei Xiao turned off the computer screen.
Instead of going out, he lifted up the curtains to look out at the garden.
After a while, he still didn’t see Lu Feng on his morning run.
Then, the door to the training room opened.
Wei Xiao turned his head and smiled wide when he saw who’d come in.
“You’re awake?” As he spoke, he headed over to Lu Feng and threw
himself into his arms.
Lu Feng was filled with heartache seeing his pale lips. He kissed the tips of
his hair. “Eat something before you go to sleep.”
Wei Xiao kissed him on the mouth. “How about…”
The corners of Lu Feng’s eyes pulled down. “Eat.”
Wei Xiao was just making empty talk. After staying up all night, his entire
person felt like it was floating. “Have you eaten?”
Lu Feng: “No.”
Wei Xiao held his hand. “Together, then!”
The two of them went to the dining room, where the auntie had already
made breakfast.
Wei Xiao blinked and understood that Lu Feng must have told her to do so
in advance. His heart warmed.
“I’m really a bit hungry.”
“Eat slowly, there’s no rush.”
“Mm-hmm.” Wei Xiao drank some of the exquisite and silky pork bone
congee and said to Lu Feng, “I had a pretty good harvest from staying up all
night!”
Lu Feng’s heart felt a little pained. “Eat first.” Of course he’d have gained
something after staying up all night.
But Wei Xiao couldn’t wait to share it. “Really! I can assure you, even if we
meet 3U in the semi-finals, Old Yue won’t have to back down… wu…”
Lu Feng fed him a mouthful of congee.
Wei Xiao felt as sweet as honey as he ate it. He wanted to continue, “Old
Yue…”
Lu Feng fed him another bite.
Wei Xiao could only eat first. “Um…”
Lu Feng brought up another spoonful.
Wei Xiao, who’d eaten half a bowl of congee, finally figured it out.
“Captain, aren’t you concerned about Old Yue?!”
Lu Feng’s voice was calm. “I care more about you.”
Wei Xiao blinked. How could his heart still focus on someone named Yue?
“… We should talk to the auntie, why did she put sugar in the pork bone
congee?”
It was too sweet. So sweet that he didn’t know what he was eating.
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao used his own spoon to feed Lu Feng. “It’s sweet.”
Wei Xiao: “Isn’t it sweet?”
Lu Feng inhaled lightly. “It’s sweet.”
Wei Xiao grew energetic. “Have another mouthful.”
The two of them fed each other back and forth and finished half a pot of
congee in no time.
Fortunately, there was no one else in the dining area. Otherwise, if there
was a third party, even if it was Brother Soybean, they would be stuffed full
until they were whining.
After eating, Wei Xiao thought of Comrade Old Yue once again.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Feng spoke again, “Talk after going
back to the room.”
Wei Xiao was very anxious. “Let’s talk about it right here!”
Lu Feng said quietly, “I ran the hot water. You can take a bath.”
Lu Feng added, “If we go back to the room, you can sleep after you finish
talking.”
Since it was already like this, how could Wei Little Xiao resist? “The old
saying was right, even heroes fall for beauties!”
Lu Feng glanced at him, “Hm?”
Wei Xiao hurriedly changed his words. “Even beauties fall for heroes!”
Lu Feng looked at him, his voice low and magnetic, “Beauty?”
Wei Xiao felt like he’d been shocked by electricity. “It’s… even heroes fall
for heroes!”
Lu Feng chuckled quietly.
Wei Xiao couldn’t stand it anymore. “Captain, don’t tease me, I won’t be
able to hold back and will…”
Lu Feng couldn’t let him finish. “Enough, go take a bath.”
The temperature of the water was just right, and there was a light, soothing
scent of incense. Wei Xiao almost fell asleep as soon as he relaxed.
Ah…
The captain… his boyfriend was really nice.
Wei Xiao had stayed up for countless nights in his life.
When he was studying, he’d tried his best to help his grandma while still
getting number one in the class. Staying up late had been normal.
Later on, in the youth training camp, he’d also fit two days worth of work
into each day and tried his best to get good results.
He’d stayed up for so many nights, but he’d never enjoyed such treatment.
A delicious breakfast, comfortable hot bath, and even having someone coax
him to sleep.
Wei Xiao sank into the water, leaving only his nose and eyes above the
water line. His heart was as delighted as could be.
Wei Xiao’s hair was dripping wet when he came out of the bathroom.
Lu Feng beckoned to him. “Come here.”

Wei Xiao: “I have to first talk about Old Yue… otherwise I’ll really fall
asleep.”
Lu Feng: “It’s fine if you fall asleep. Yue Wenle can’t run off.”
This made sense, but––
“No, no, no, I have to share my whole night’s harvest with you first.”
These words poked at Lu Feng’s heart. Although he was distressed for Wei
Xiao and wanted him to rest first, he also felt heartache for the way he’d
stayed up all night.
“Tell me.” Lu Feng pulled him down to lay down on his thigh and used the
towel to gently rub his hair dry.
Blow drying his hair would make it too loud to talk, but he could multitask
and save time by helping him towel dry his hair. After he was finished
talking, they’d only need to blow dry it a little before he went to sleep.
Wei Xiao found a comfortable position to lay down and finally began
talking, “Old Yue’s biggest problem is that he’s more reckless than any of
the other marksmen.”
Lu Feng: “That’s right.”
Wei Xiao thought back to last night’s game replay review and said, “At
first, I thought about how to change this fault of his. It’s really easy for a
reckless ADC to mess up…”
There were five positions in Glory, and each of them had their own
characteristics.
It wasn’t that the marksman had to shrink back like a turtle, but it was
definitely contrary for them to be so reckless.
Good positioning, self-preservation, and an ability to deal massive DPS
through the cracks were the characteristics of an excellent ADC.
The top ADC in the world were both fierce and cautious, seeking
excellence amidst stability.
Yue Wenle was different. His recklessness was like that of a warrior who
rushed up to fight and put himself in danger. He could definitely deal
damage, but once he was caught by someone else, he couldn’t help
attacking in a way that caused damage to both sides.
The fault tolerance for this was too low. His damage was explosive while he
was alive, but he was really done for when he died.
The key was that his positioning habits made it too easy for him to die.
Wei Xiao thought about it all night and finally came up with an idea that
was the opposite from his original starting point. “Rather than have him
change, why not let him be reckless all the way to the end.”
Lu Feng’s hand paused while drying his hair.
Wei Xiao rested his chin against his thigh, poking against it as he spoke. It
looked kind of cute from above.
“Changing a person’s character is difficult, or rather, it should be said that it

can’t be changed at all. Yue Wenle’s play style represents his nature. Since
he likes to let things go to his head, likes being reckless, and likes fighting
against others straight on, then why not take that to an extreme level?”
“Changing it would be too difficult, just like how Eurostar-star can’t be

fierce. It’s too difficult to make Yue Wenle act more cautiously. No one way
is right or wrong, and the important thing is to do what they’re best at.”
“Eurostar-star is cautious to the extreme, yet he can still play out explosive
DPS.”
“Old Yue can also be reckless to the extreme and beat up the other side
while they’re caught unprepared.”
It took a while before Lu Feng continued to help him dry his hair.
Wei Xiao went on, “Instead of suppressing Yue Wenle and forcing him to
change, it’s better to let him operate freely and have his teammates make up
for any flaws that are left!”
His hair was mostly dry. He turned around and looked up at Lu Feng. “I can
help him make up for it!”
Lu Feng looked into his eyes.
Wei Xiao grew excited as he spoke. He sat up and said, “Captain, you too.”
His head was covered with a white towel, his pale skin was a little pink
from the hot bath, and his eyes were bright. “You also just need to be
yourself!”
Wei Xiao revealed a pair of tiger teeth as he smiled. “Let yourself go when
you fight, and play however you like. Don’t think too much about it!”
Wei Xiao held his hand and said, “Really. The team competition isn’t a
constraint. The team competition should be freedom for all five people,
because when everyone accommodates each other too much, it makes it
more difficult to figure out what everyone really wants to do. You guys only
need to be yourself, and leave the rest to me.”
These words were spoken easily, but there was only one Yan Jiang in the
whole world who could do such a thing.
Now…
Lu Feng smiled briefly and asked him, “What about you? Don’t you also
want to be yourself?”
There was no haze in Wei Xiao’s eyes. “I am being myself!”

Everyone was different.
Everyone did their own thing differently.
Some people were like Lu Feng, and there were also people like Wei Xiao.
Some people were like the vast and lonely sky, while others were the sun
that lit up the whole world.
Fortunately, they’d met each other.
Wei Xiao fell asleep once his hair was dry.
Lu Feng carried him carefully to the bed. He’d originally planned to go

downstairs and deal with some work, but because Wei Xiao was sleeping so
soundly, he couldn’t help but accompany him to sleep for a while.
By the time he went downstairs again, everyone was already waking up one
after another.
Chen Feng yawned. “Where’s the little lunatic?”
Lu Feng: “Still sleeping.”
Chen Feng was slightly surprised.
Lu Feng added, “Don’t call for him in the afternoon. Let him sleep a bit
longer.”
Chen Feng was shocked. “This…” Hold back a little, you two, and do less
late night exercise! We’re almost at the semi-finals!
Lu Feng explained, “He stayed up all night to watch Yue Wenle’s game.”
Chen Feng’s gaze grew sharp. “What?”
Lu Feng told him about Wei Xiao’s harvest from the night.
At first, Chen Feng didn’t take it seriously, but his frown grew deeper the
more he listened. At last, he sighed, “Little Lunatic Wei’s pretty good, hey.
If he can really patch up Yue Wenle’s flaws, then this bottom-jungler
combination will be amazing.”
Lu Feng said firmly, “He can do it.”
Chen Feng raised his eyebrows. “That’ll be something to see in the semi-
finals.”
Lu Feng was in a good mood and asked Chen Feng, “Do you know what
kind of person is the most terrifying?”
Chen Feng’s thoughts were still immersed in proper business. He replied

casually, “What?”
Lu Feng: “Those who are both talented and diligent.”
Chen Feng had a premonition something was maybe not right.
Lu Feng continued, “And their strength is higher than that of others.”
Coach Chen could confidently get rid of the ‘maybe’. Things were not
good!
Lu Feng: “As a player, they can even do the work of a coach.”
Chen Feng: “……” He’d gotten shot by an arrow to the knee.
Lu Feng obviously wasn’t finished. “He saw a problem that even the coach
didn’t see.”
Chen Feng: “…………” Alright, alright, alright, he knew that Little Lunatic
Wei was amazing!
The great demon king gradually went crazy,.“The most important thing is,
he’s so excellent, yet he’s still so dedicated.”
Coach Chen Feng: “……………………” Was there still enough time to run
away now!?
It was too late. The dog food that he was being forcibly fed had to be eaten
even if he didn’t want to eat it.
Lu Feng was very low key as he continued to show off, “Not only is he
dedicated, he’s also very affectionate.”
Chen Feng, who’d been smacked in the face by this display early in the
morning: Could you leave a way for single dogs to continue living!
Ch188 - When encountering
trouble, start off with solo.
Wei Xiao had stayed up all night, but his gains went beyond what he’d put
into words.
He had gained a visual understanding of Yue Wenle, but it still required

further exploration through action. Another important point was to figure
out how to push Yue Wenle’s recklessness to the extreme.
Changing it was too difficult; it was better to adapt it instead.
Perhaps, Yue Wenle’s greatest problem wasn’t that he was reckless, but that
he wasn’t reckless enough.
As for how to strengthen it?
Coincidentally, Wei Xiao had a lot of experience with this.
When encountering trouble, start off with solo. This was FTW’s ancestral
inherited secret recipe.
Three days later, the top four teams in the China competition zone came
out, hot out of the oven. The names on the list didn’t surprise anyone––
FTW, RR, 3U, TPT.
There were a total of four games for the eight into four round, and all four
teams had played beautifully.
The fans had a great time watching the games, and were very much looking
forward to watching these four teams, who were in such good states, kill
their way into the semi-finals.
Of course, some fans were sour for no reason:
“Why did the competition system have to change this year?”
“I love these four teams so much, I can’t bear to see any of them be
eliminated QAQ!”
“I’ll feel bad no matter who loses. I want to watch them go to the globals
and continue to fight!”
Some people advised them, “Think about it from another angle. You’ll be
happy no matter who wins!”
“Why wait for the globals? Fight hard domestically! Whoever can take the
championship will be fighting for our country! That’s even more
domineering!”
“Yeah! If they’re able to get the top spot from such a fierce clash, then
they’ll have nothing to fear in the globals!”
The semi-finals followed a draw system, and the competition committee

had specially arranged for a live draw.
There was a small dispute within FTW about the draw.
Chen Feng: “You want to go?”
Wei Xiao shot Brother Cai a fawning glance, “Let our Caicai go!”
If they didn’t use his little lucky hands now, then when would they use it?
Bai Cai felt a chill run down his back. He said in shock, “I refuse!”
His hands were poisonous. Little Lunatic Wei was the lucky one, but he, the
White Cabbage, was the opposite.
As a salted fish, Brother Cai just wanted to pick soft persimmons. Although
none of the three teams were soft, he would be a sinner forever if he drew
3U!
Brother Cai knew that Wei Xiao had been training up Yue Wenle recently.
The results of this special training wasn’t clear, but it was certain that 3U’s
Asleep had an advantage over Yue Wenle, and it would be best if they tried
not to meet 3U in the semi-finals.
Wei Xiao stared at him. “What are you backing down for?”
Bai Cai: “I just am!”
Wei Xiao tried to seduce him. “Go, go. I’ll give you a red envelope.”
Wei Xiao put up two fingers.
Brother Cai puffed out his chest. “Is Laozi a person who can be bought with
just 2000?”
Wei Xiao: “20,000.”
Brother Cai: “!!!”
Chen Feng knocked against the table and interrupted these two people who
were messing around. “I’ll handle the draw.”
Brother Cai: “Eh…” How come the 20,000 that had almost been in reach
had now flown away?
Wei Xiao was angry and disdained him. “Who told you to drag things out!”
Bai Cai wanted to try for it again. “I, in fact, I… coach…”
Chen Feng stared at him, and Brother Cai shut up.

Lu Feng picked up the thread of the conversation, “I’ll go.”
Chen Feng shook his head. “None of the starters should go.”
Wei Xiao and Bai Cai-cai both stopped.
They understood Chen Feng’s worries, so it was hard for them to say
anything else.
There was pressure involved in the draw for the semi-finals.
Especially in FTW’s current situation where they obviously hoped to avoid

3U in the semi-finals.
There were expectations, fear, and disappointment.
Regardless of whether it was Wei Xiao or Bai Cai, or even Lu Feng who
went to draw lots, it would be alright if they drew a team they wanted, but if
they drew an opponent they didn’t want, it would inevitably have an impact
on their mentality.
Chen Feng offered to go in order to relieve them of this pressure.
In this way, no matter what the results were, it would have nothing to do
with their teammates, and the blame would be on Chen Feng.
Of course, Wei Xiao and the others wouldn’t complain.
They just had to fight and be done with it; there was nothing to be afraid of!
The results of the draw came out that night.
Brother Cai was even more distressed about the 20,000.
Wei Xiao was in high spirits. “Old Yue!”

The potato chip king that had been hollowed out these recent few days. “…
Add two more hours.”
Wei Xiao chuckled. “Sure.”
Little Ning was infected by their attitude. “I want to work hard, too!”
Brother Yue was too inspirational. Ning Zhehan, who’d been watching this
‘special training’, felt very sad. If he was the target of this special training,
he’d be crying every night until his voice went hoarse.
The semi-finals draw map was posted up online.
May 25: FTW vs. 3U.
May 27: RR vs. TPT.
FTW ultimately still encountered 3U, but now, Wei Xiao was really eager to
show the results of this ‘special training’ to the audience across the whole
country.
3U’s club.
The atmosphere at the 3U club was more dignified than that of FTW’s.
This year’s FTW was in full swing. Quiet had joined their team, and their
top-jungler combo was too strong. 3U had been able to win a game during
the regular season, but Lu Feng hadn’t been there at the time, and the tacit
understanding between Tang Chen and Wei Xiao had obviously been a little
lacking. It had been a close win for 3U even when they fought against FTW
in that state, but now…
Zhou Xuehai, 3U’s manager, was very upset after he saw the results of the
draw.
3U’s Coach Leng said directly, “I was responsible for the draw, and this is
the result.”
Zhou Xuehai: “You have unlucky hands!”

Coach Leng: “Even if you can avoid them in the semi-finals, you can’t skip
the finals and will always end up meeting them anyway.”
Zhou Xuehai: “How can that be the same? One is the runner up, and the
other is fourth place!”
There were five starters in the training room. Li Chun and the others had
their eyes lowered and were as quiet as chickens.
Asleep suddenly raised his head, his black eyes staring at Zhou Xuehai.
Zhou Xuehai: “……” He was caught by surprise and choked.
Cong Yi said leisurely, “The game hasn’t been played yet, but you’re
already giving up?”
Zhou Xuehai’s heart felt blocked and flustered. He said, “Are you guys not
clear about FTW’s situation in your own hearts?”
Cong Yi: “If you don’t even dare to face FTW, then so what if you win the
championship? Do you plan for us to shame ourselves in the globals?”
Zhou Xuehai: “Then, for better or worse, we’d have to take the domestic
championship first!”
Cong Yi sneered, “So it turns out that you actually want to win the
championship.” This was retorting to his previous runner-up and fourth
place comment from before.
Zou Xuehai was so angry that he couldn’t speak.
Cong Yi glanced at Asleep, then said to Coach Leng. “If there’s nothing
else, then we’ll continue training.”
Zhou Xuehai was unable to get over his anger and asked, “How are you
doing with your doubles training?”
Cong Yi: “We’ll talk about it after the domestic games.”

Another big change with the new competition system had taken place in the
singles and doubles competitions.
The big brawl mode had really changed the singles and doubles
competition. There weren’t enough players from one competition zone to
hold a 100 person battle.
Therefore, the singles and doubles competition had been moved directly to
the global competition. Like in the opening game, they would be broadcast
live across the different competition zones, and the game was a direct
global brawl.
When Zhou Xuehai brought this up, his meaning was that he wanted to give
up the team competition and strive for a good result in the doubles instead.
Coach Leng couldn’t listen on anymore. “Although FTW is strong, we’re

not weak either. There’s no need to bring up others like this and extinguish
our own prestige.”
Zhou Xuehai still wanted to say something more.
Asleep spoke up coldly, “Noisy.”
Zhou Xuehai: “…………”
At the end of the day, Zhou Xuehai couldn’t afford to provoke the star
player of the team and didn’t dare to say anything else despite having a
belly full of anger. He turned and left the training room.
That night, all of 3U’s games were played in silence.
Asleep’s expression was cold, and Cong Yi didn’t try to adjust the
atmosphere. Li Chun and the others didn’t dare to make a sound, and their
five queue games were played so quietly that it was horrifying.
But even so, they managed a continuous winning streak in the professional
server.
It was particularly easy to run into other professional teams from all over
the world when queuing as a team of five.
Although the level of these anonymous teams was uneven, the fact that they
were able to win the whole way was enough to prove 3U’s strength.
Asleep didn’t say a word, was even blinking slowly, and the operations of
his hands couldn’t even be described as very fast, but once someone looked
at the screen and saw the match being played in the canyon, they’d be
amazed at the crackling mania of the thief in the game.
He was lazy outside the game.
But crazy inside the game.
Coach Leng, who was watching from the side, was always amazed by this
sharp contrast no matter how many times he saw it.
Ch189 - A man’s waist can’t be
harmed.
When Asleep first joined the team, Leng Feng had been the one to
personally review his application.
At the time, Zhou Xuehai had looked at Asleep’s face and immediately
proposed letting him join during the meeting, “Sign him!”
Asleep was very good looking, and he also had certain characteristics: clean
skin, lazy and careless eyebrows, and a constant half awake appearance. It
held a sense of decadence, yet also had a youth’s unique fierceness.
This face, coupled with his considerable achievements meant that there was
a chance that he’d be signed no matter which team he went to.
It was alright if he couldn’t make any achievements, because even if they

kept him on just to do live-streaming, he would still be able to help the team
gain money and popularity.
Leng Feng and Zhou Xuehai had different ideas. Compared with
commercial value, Leng Feng paid more attention to strength.
“Cong Yi is a good player. He has a good overall view of the situation and
good game awareness. He’s now playing in the support position, but his
hand speed evaluation was very high, and it’s not impossible for him to
switch to other positions.”
The coaches also agreed with this, so Zhou Xuehai said, “Cong Yi can be
signed too.” The value of a support position was a bit lower, but the signing
price wasn’t as high, and it would still bring a pretty good harvest.
Leng Feng didn’t look at him as he brought the topic back to the original
subject, “I don’t recommend signing Asleep.”
Zhou Xuehai turned to look at him. “But Asleep is much better than Cong
Yi in all aspects!”
Leng Feng words could draw blood with a single hit. “He’s not flexible
enough.”
Zhou Xuehai was irritated. “We haven’t even started training him up, how
can you know that he isn’t flexible?”
Leng Feng and Zhou Xuehai had worked together for many years, and he
was very clear about this guy’s temperament. “We’re not in the
entertainment industry.”
What’s the use of just looking at appearance?
In e-sports, being unable to achieve any results was the original sin. If fans
wanted to see good looking faces, why not go chase after stars?
There were countless youths with faces better than Asleep’s in the
entertainment circle!
Zhou Xuehai was unwilling to accept this. “He plays thief very well.”
Leng Feng: “The jungler position relies on coordination the most. If he

doesn’t say a single word, how will he cooperate with his teammates?”
Zhou Xuehai hesitated.
Leng Feng knew what he was greedy for. “Even if he does live streaming,
the fans won’t buy into it if he remains silent like a depressed gourd,
either.”
This sentence was enough to convince Zhou Xuehai.
He just thought that Asleep was good looking and he played games well, so
when the time came, he could open up a live broadcast to attract fans. But
he’d forgotten that as an anchor, his ability to speak was more important
than anything else.
After Leng Feng’s sharp comments, the final decision made at the meeting
was to sign Cong Yi and let Asleep go.
Unexpectedly, when Leng Feng notified Cong Yi, Cong Yi didn’t hesitate to
refuse. “No.”
Leng Feng thought that he was displaying a child’s temper, “I know that
you and Asleep have a good relationship, but you can’t give up on your
own future because of your friends.”
Cong Yi shook his head. “I came here with him, and I won’t leave him.”
Leng Feng stared at him, his gaze probing. “I truly appreciate the
importance you place on your relationships, but Asleep isn’t suitable to play
professionally.”
Cong Yi lifted his head to look at him. “Why.”
There was a sand table behind Leng Feng. He pointed to the jungler
position and said, “Glory is a team game, and the canyon is a battlefield for
five people. A player who can’t communicate with his teammates and can
only play by himself doesn’t match the competition.”
There was no way for Cong Yi to refute this.
Leng Feng continued, “Asleep’s personal strength is very high, and I’m also
very sorry to let him go, but you understand his situation better than anyone
else. Do you really think that he can be suitable for this position? Do you
really feel that a person who can’t communicate with people properly can
lead the team to victory?”
Cong Yi’s eyebrows pulled together tightly in a frown, and his tone held a
hint of childish obstinacy, “He can do it.”
Leng Feng looked at him in silence.

Cong Yi gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and entered a standoff against
Leng Feng.
After a while, Leng Feng sighed. “Cong Yi, the e-sports world is cruel. A
person with an unstable mental state… this place isn’t suitable for such a
person.”
He’d already stepped out of bonds with these words.
Cong Yi: “Asleep’s mental state is very good!”
Leng Feng: “……”
Cong Yi’s voice raised up unconsciously. “There’s no problem with him, he

just doesn’t like communicating with people!”
Leng Feng: “……”
Cong Yi realized that he’d lost control and dropped his gaze. “Sorry.”
Leng Feng really appreciated Cong Yi’s character. Otherwise, he wouldn’t

have said so much, “If you really want to help him, then you shouldn’t let
him enter the professional arena.”
Cong Yi hung his head and didn’t say anything for a long time. Finally, he
uttered a very light sentence, his voice hoarse, “…… But he likes Glory.”
This sentence hit Leng Feng hard.
The emotions in Cong Yi’s eyes were solidly blocked by his hair, but his
shoulders trembed. “In his whole life, he’s only ever accepted Glory, and
this is the first time he’s taken the initiative to come out…” Out of his own
world, out of the quiet and silence. It was the first time he’d attempted to
come into contact with the world outside.
Leng Feng couldn’t say anything.
Cong Yi looked at him. The youth’s eyes were both questioning and filled
with longing. “You really can’t give him a chance? I believe that he can do
it. He’s different when he plays games, and maybe he… maybe he can learn
to communicate with people in Glory.”
Leng Feng couldn’t bear it, but he still had to tell him the truth, “The
competition won’t wait for anyone.” It wouldn’t wait for them to grow,
wouldn’t wait for them to change, and wouldn’t wait for them to learn.
Anyone who stepped into this circle without being fully prepared would
only be torn to shreds.
Cong Yi’s gaze grew a little distant. “Sorry.”
He’d been too naive. The club needed mature players and ready-made
achievements, not a vague and uncertain future.
Leng Feng felt like he’d been stabbed in the heart when he saw him like
this. “I can give you guys a chance.”
Cong Yi looked up at him abruptly.
Leng Feng knew that he shouldn’t be soft hearted, but this heart of his had
never had anything to do with the meaning behind his own name. “I can’t
guarantee if this will be a good thing or bad thing for Asleep.”
meaning behind his own name – Leng Feng’s name actually means ‘cold
front’
“I understand!” Cong Yi bowed to him deeply, “Thank you!”
Leng Feng took responsibility for this decision and signed both Cong Yi
and Asleep.
At first, he’d been the one who was most opposed to signing Asleep; later
on, he was the one who’d had the most expectations for Asleep.
Zhou Xuehai only remembered Asleep’s commercial value, but Leng Feng
was always anticipating––waiting for the time when Asleep and Cong Yi
would break through their cocoon and become a butterfly.
The five people from 3U queued until midnight, until the assistant coach
urged them, “Let’s stop here for today.”
Li Chun, who’d been enduring for several hours and almost felt like he
could no longer breathe, got up and said, “Captain, Brother Yi, I’ll be going
back to the dormitory first.”
Cong Yi: “Go ahead.”
Asleep nodded very lightly.
The team’s top-laner and marksman also got up one after another and said
goodbye together.
Only Asleep and Cong Yi were left in the big training room.
Cong Yi released his mouse and looked at him. “Double queue?”
Cong Yi got up and said, “Wait, I’ll go and smoke a cigarette first.”
Cong Yi knew that Asleep didn’t like it when he smoked, but God Yi
showed a rare moment of ‘obliviousness’.
Only Asleep was left in the training room, but his expression didn’t change
at all. He wouldn’t become more active because there were a large number
of people in the training room, and he wouldn’t be depressed because he
was on his own.
He sat there in his seat, staring at the Glory canyon that had its defined
limits and felt very calm.
Fixed maps, where every corner was familiar. Even the positioning of the
jungle creeps was invariable.
But very different battles took place every time in this unchanging canyon.
Asleep liked it here––
He liked the constant and ever-changing, the familiar and the strange, the
limited yet free Glory canyon.
He opened up a training module and poked sporadically at the red jungle

creep.
One trait of a professional jungler was to have a good relationship with the
red and blue daddies in the jungle zones. They had to know how to try and
avoid their attacks in the early stages to retain their health, how to control
their health bar, how to ensure maximum DPS, and they even had to know
how to use punishment (an active skill that dealt damage to jungle creeps).
These were all crucial details.
Asleep had just knocked down a red daddy when the sound of a phone
ringing entered his ears.
A very recognizable female artist’s song rang out, and Asleep tilted his head
to look at Cong Yi’s cell phone.
Cong Yi hadn’t come back yet, and it was impossible for Asleep to answer
the phone for someone else.
It was already 12 o’clock in the morning. Could it be something urgent?
Asleep exited out of the training module and picked up the cell phone,
preparing to bring it out for Cong Yi.
He inevitably saw the name of the caller when he picked up the cell
phone–– Professor Zhang.
Asleep was stunned for a moment.
The call was cut off at this time, and a message popped up, “Aside from
Asleep, you also need to pay more attention to your own state.”
When Cong Yi pushed open the door and came in, he saw Asleep sitting in
the e-sports chair in a daze.
“What’s the matter?” Others couldn’t understand Asleep’s mood, but Cong
Yi could tell with a glance that his mood wasn’t right.
Asleep shook his head.
Cong Yi glanced at his cell phone, then looked at Asleep. “Professor Zhang
called?”
Asleep nodded.
Cong Yi picked up his cell phone and saw the message on the screen.
Asleep stared fixedly at his computer screen.
Cong Yi laughed briefly. “You saw it?”
Cong Yi put down his cell phone and said very casually, “Professional
players all have times when their mentalities aren’t great.”
Asleep looked at him.
Cong Yi laughed. “Don’t worry. I’m just upset by this new competition
system.”
Asleep said lightly, “No…”
Cong Yi knew what he wanted to say. “Don’t be scared, there’s nothing to

be afraid of.”
Cong Yi entered the game. “Alright, I know you’re powerful. You can
abuse Yue Wenle, beat up Quiet, and win against the great demon king.”
Asleep: “Mm.”
The two of them double queued for two hours before Cong Yi yawned and
said, “Time to sleep.”
Asleep didn’t move.
Cong Yi looked at the time. “In that case, you keep playing. I’m going to
sleep.”
Asleep: “Goodnight.”
Cong Yi: “Goodnight.”
Saying goodnight at two in the morning wasn’t much different from saying
good morning.
Asleep single queued in the professional server and played all the way until
7AM.
“Stayed up all night?” A private message popped up.
Asleep looked at that blinding ID––I Love Close The Most.
It had still been ‘I Like Close The Most’ during the opening game, but now
it had been changed to ‘love’. Really worthy of being Quiet.
Asleep didn’t like to talk, but he was alright when it came to typing, “You
haven’t slept yet either?”
I Love Close The Most: “What are you thinking? Big brother got up early.”
My boyfriend went out for a morning run and sleeping on my own was too
lonely.
Asleep: “You got up quite early.”
Wei Xiao yawned and teased him, “Nervous?”
“What’s there to be nervous about.”
“You ran into your daddy in the semi-finals.”

Wei Xiao really liked teasing Asleep. “Call me daddy and during the game,
I…”
Wei Xiao finished typing, “I possibly won’t spare your life.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were filled with laughter. He opened up a game room.
“Solo?”
He sent him the room number.
Asleep didn’t want to pay attention to him, but he also couldn’t resist this
temptation, so he searched up the room number. Unexpectedly, there was
actually a password for the room.
Wei Xiao sent him a private message, “The password is ‘big brother’.”
Asleep: “… I’ll shark you.”
shark – shark and kill sound the same in Chinese. chinese internet
joke/meme
Wei Xiao: “Come on, come on, I’m waiting.”
Asleep entered the room and chose a hero within seconds.
Wei Xiao casually took the storm hunter.
Asleep didn’t say much either. After entering the game, he used up his skill
points, bought equipment, and entered stealth mode to attack the storm
hunter.
This new solo mode was very different from before.

Killing soldiers? Unnecessary.
Developing? No need.
Players had maxed gold, maxed equipment, and maxed levels at the start of
the game, and fighting against each other only relied on a player’s
operations.
Asleep took the hidden thief, and Wei Xiao had taken the storm hunter.
Although thieves had a natural advantage over hunters, the storm hunter
itself had assassin type attributes. When played well, it was difficult to say
who would win or lose.
Wei Xiao covered up half the screen with raindrops, attempting to stimulate
the stealthed Asleep into coming out. Unexpectedly, Asleep’s positioning
was godly and not even half of a raindrop was able to touch him…
There was a whistling sound, and Wei Xiao was stabbed in the back with a
blade.
The hidden thief landed on the ground from the shadows, stabbing its
dagger into the storm hunter’s back.
Wei Xiao stepped on raindrops to escape, and he even had time to type
while doing so, “Brother Sleep, a man’s waist can’t be harmed.”
The author has something to say: Hello? Is it Captain Lu? There’s a

Reckless Wei over here… Ah, I’ve been killed by the storm hunter’s arrow.
Ch190 - Clothing that fits the body
- how could it be bought by other
people?
Asleep’s reply to him was another dagger attack that stabbed accurately at
the other side of his waist.
How could Wei Xiao let him succeed twice? The elven storm hunter
stepped lightly on raindrops and bypassed this basic attack.
Now, there was no more time for them to type and chatter. Both players,
who had maxed out their skills and equipment, tangled together and fought
endlessly.
The hidden thief’s blade was fierce and accurate, while the storm hunter
dodged easily, sending in arrows from afar like flying a kite and causing
pain to the hidden thief bit by bit.
They were both holding back on their combos and relying on just hand
speed and micro-operations.
Now, a solo game wouldn’t take too long to finish. One or two minutes was
the limit for such seamless operations, and even for players as talented as
they were, they wouldn’t be able to hold on past three minutes.
The situation became increasingly intense. The storm hunter moved half a
second faster than the hidden thief as Wei Xiao pushed the limits of the
storm hunter and stepped on raindrops––
The rain and fog that covered the sky suddenly condensed and every drop
of water turned into a mirror that reflected the storm hunter’s figure and
confused the enemy’s sight.
Although Asleep never used the storm hunter, he was very familiar with
this talent. As a jungler, he had to understand all the micro-operations of all
the c-positions. Even so, Wei Xiao’s storm hunter was very different this
time.
He gathered his thoughts and used his dagger to break through three
illusions before going straight for the storm hunter.
His hit landed!
The hidden thief could stack up marks while it remained in stealth, and they
would greatly increase the damage of his basic attack.
Based on his fully buffed up dagger, there was a 100% certainty that he
could take away the storm hunter’s life.
Asleep’s attention was fully focused on the elf’s figure. He would

absolutely never give him the slightest opportunity to slip away.
The black-streaked dagger stabbed into the storm hunter’s body. Special
effects burst out, and blood…
Asleep’s pupils contracted: Oh no!
There was a bang.
There was no blood that gushed out with the special effects. Instead, it
dispersed into water droplets and fog.
This was another phantom, not the storm hunter’s main body.
Whish, whish. Flying arrows that held a cold aura flew over, aimed straight
at the hidden thief’s face.
Asleep retreated as he blocked, but the angle of the three arrows was tricky,
and he was only able to block one of them.
Two arrows landed with splashes of blood, and Asleep’s HP plummeted.

Wei Xiao revealed himself, and another arrow of rain flew over, glistening
with water.
Asleep’s eyes were sharp, and he could see that there was a red light on the
arrow––this wasn’t an exaggeration, but rather a small technique from
within the game. Some equipment held passive effects, such as one of the
marksmen’s maxed equipment, the blood devil’s longbow, which had a
chance to trigger a blood explosion. When hit by such an arrow, the hidden
thief would fall to the ground and be unable to get back up again even if it
was at more than at half health, let alone in its current precarious state.
He had to escape!
Asleep’s nerves were taut, and he felt a shiver surge up from within.
This was the charm of Glory. Even if his body was outside the canyon, his
soul was immersed in the battlefield.
The hidden thief used flash to retreat and avoid the storm hunter’s frontal
assault, but unfortunately, his HP was too low and even getting scratched by
the storm hunter’s arrow was enough to ensure his death.
Defeat.
This scarlet script announcing defeat appeared on Asleep’s screen.
Solo games were now this direct and simple. Death meant that the game
was over.
The two of them returned to the game room. Wei Xiao sent out a message,
“You’re not in good condition.”
Wei Xiao: “Go to sleep, I won’t bully you anymore.”
Asleep: “…… Again.”
Wei Xiao turned on voice chat, “Are you really nervous?”

Wei Xiao changed the room mode, switching it from a solo room to a team
room. “Double queue.”
Asleep hesitated for a moment.
Wei Xiao: “Hurry up, I’m going downstairs to eat in a bit.”
He was going to go and eat with the captain after he finished his morning
run.
Asleep clicked on the ready button.
Wei Xiao had turned on voice chat, so Asleep turned his on as well, but
he’d always chosen to type to people even with his mic on. “I’m not
nervous.”
Wei Xiao: “Oh.”
Asleep explained it again, “There’s nothing to be nervous about.”
Wei Xiao hit the nail on the head, “Then why are you out of sorts?”
After trying to put up with it for a moment, Sleep God was unable to hold
back and asked him, “How could you tell?”
It was true that he was in a bad mood, but it had nothing to do with being
nervous.
However, basically no one else could understand his emotions other than
Cong Yi. How was Quiet able to detect it across an internet cable?
Wei Xiao started acting up again. “Oh-ho, you really are nervous!”
Asleep: “……………………” He didn’t want to talk to him anymore!
The two of them were matched into a game right then and entered the game.
Asleep and Wei Xiao were different. Ever since he’d started playing Glory,
Asleep had only liked to play the jungler position. It was to the point where
it should be said that he only liked the thief profession.
Wei Xiao also liked thieves, but he liked all-rounder kings even more. Oh,
there was no need to doubt this; his boyfriend was an all-rounder king.
Wei Xiao understood Brother Sleep. “What do you want to play?” He was
in the first position and could help Asleep snatch the jungler position.
Asleep: “Shadow thief.”
Wei Xiao’s mouth said, “Okay.” But then he locked in the berserker thief.
Asleep: “???”
Wei Xiao’s tone was very righteous. “What do you want to do with the
shadow thief? Laozi’s already letting you take the jungler position, yet you
want to play with my man in front of me?”
Brother Sleep fell silent.
Reality proved that sleeping was really attractive. Why had he passed up on
it to come out to play games with beasts?!
Wei Xiao took the butterfly warlock. It was the little fairy girl from Zhuang
Zhou’s story: The Butterfly Dream, and she was a famous beauty within the
canyon.
As soon as Wei Xiao entered the game, he asked, “Do I look good?”
In the most recent game update, the butterfly warlock had gotten a new
skin. It was an ethereal fairy dress and was surrounded by a circle of small
butterflies that floated about everywhere. It was very ethereal.
The female fans were quite satisfied with this skin, and they all said that
they had to obtain it. Yet as a result, the game acted inhumanely and tossed
the skin into the prize pool.
Compared with various RPG games, Glory wasn’t that much of a pay-to-
win game. After all, spending money was of little significance, and players
wouldn’t become stronger just because they’d spent money. So, the balance
of the game had always been very good.
However, Glory also needed to make money. How? Naturally, it was

through selling skins.
Couple skins, bravery skins, epic skins, legendary skins, and even divine
skins.
These divine skins couldn’t be obtained by simply spending money. They

had to be drawn from the prize pool.
It was difficult to put a number on the upper limit required for this lottery.
If a person was lucky, they could obtain the skin with 200 or 300 yuan, and
if they were unlucky, they might not be able to get it even after spending
2000 or 3000.
Glory’s divine rich man Money had once live streamed himself drawing for
a skin. He’d spent a full 5000 without getting the skin he wanted.
How deep was this pit? Those who played the game all understood.
Asleep wasn’t interested in skins and was a straight man with abnormal
aesthetics. “Looks good.”
Wei Xiao: “Perfunctory!”
Wei Xiao wasn’t some little princess and wasn’t really obsessed over the
skin for this female character. He naturally had a purpose behind bringing
this up. “Do you know how I got this skin?”
Asleep: “Lucky draw.”
Wei Xiao: “Nonsense.”

Wei Xiao’s voice held a little pride. “My captain helped me draw it!”
Asleep: “…… Oh.”
Wei Xiao stressed, “My captain, Close!”
Asleep: “……” And? Who else could FTW’s captain be.
Wei Xiao wouldn’t be discouraged by this. “I originally wanted to ask

Brother Cai to help me draw. You know how Brother Cai has those lucky
hands that can even draw a Porsche.”
Asleep wasn’t deeply involved in worldly matters and dared to continue the
conversation, “So why didn’t you let Brother Cai draw?”
Wei Xiao saw that this fish was hooked and was happy. “Sigh, my captain
wouldn’t let me.”
Asleep: “?”
Wei Xiao: “Clothing that fits the body – how could it be bought by other
people?”
Asleep: “???”
Wei Xiao: “It’s just that, the captain’s luck wasn’t good and it took him 520
draws to get the skin.”
Asleep started to sense that something wasn’t quite right.
Wei Xiao stressed, “Really, I’m not lying to you. He really drew 520
times.”
Asleep: “……………………”
He’d basically managed to say what he wanted to say, so Wei Xiao’s heart
was satisfied. “This skin’s really beautiful.”
Asleep vowed that he wouldn’t even think of going to the mid-lane during
this game. The butterfly warlock could flaunt her beauty there alone!
It was just a casual game, so the two of them crushed the other side in all
sorts of ways.
The berserker thief got a triple kill and a quadra kill, and the butterfly
warlock obtained a quadra kill and a penta kill.
The players on the other side had dazed expressions on their face. “Xiehe?”
Wei Xiao: “Mm.” He then sent out another message in English, “Am I
beautiful?”
The players on the opposite side: “……………”
God Xie sat at his own base, and this big pot fell down on him from the sky.
The advantages they’d gained in this game were too large, and in the later
stages, Wei Xiao stopped where he stood to count butterflies. “Although
I’m very strong, why didn’t you come to the mid-lane even once?” He
asked Asleep.
Asleep: “Would you let me eat your soldiers?”
As everyone knew, lane soldiers meant farm, and farm was life. Anyone
who dared to eat a c-position’s lane soldiers would be severing all
friendship with them, got it?
Other than Close, if anyone else said these words to Wei Xiao, there was an
80% chance that he’d tell them to get lost.
However…
A chill ran down Asleep’s back.

Wei Xiao: “I’ll let you bully me now, and then hammer you to tears in the
semi-finals.”
Asleep breathed in lightly and grew annoyed again. “It’s not because of the
semi-finals!”
Being able to get Brother Sleep to add an exclamation mark proved that
Wei Xiao really wasn’t an ordinary person.
“Oh.” Wei Xiao stabbed at Asleep again. “So you fought with Cong Yi?”
Wei Xiao’s interest was piqued. The butterfly warlock stood there in the
mid-lane and didn’t move as his fingers flew over the keyboard. “You two
actually fight? Quickly tell me what you fought about? Could it be that God
Yi has another jungler king in his heart? Which little cub is acting so
arrogant? Tell me, and I’ll go blow him up!”
Asleep looked at these densely packed words and felt his head hurt.
He didn’t understand why there could be a creature like Quiet in this world.
A person who was sharp to such extremes, yet also shameless to such
extremes.
But it was impossible to hate this person even as his opponent.
Asleep: “We didn’t fight.”
Wei Xiao: “So what happened to you this evening?”
Asleep wasn’t good at communicating, and he didn’t like to express

himself. Even more so, he didn’t like to reflect on himself.
As a person who hid even from himself, how could he let others know his
real self?
Asleep breathed in lightly and explained things very briefly.

He was very surprised as he looked at the private message he’d sent out. So
it turned out that even he would ‘tell others’.
Wei Xiao made an ‘oh’ sound, and for once, his tone was a little more
serious when he spoke, “Brother Sleep, why do you think Cong Yi plays
support?”
Asleep froze for a moment.
Wei Xiao said, “Cong Yi’s not like Bai Cai. My family’s vegetable has a
salted fish personality, and his life ambition is to take things easy. He would
never choose to walk if he could remain lying down all the way to the
Temple of the Gods. Cong Yi isn’t like this. Although I haven’t seen him
play other heroes, given that he can play the elemental shaman like that,
regardless of whether it’s his hand speed or his micro-operations, both of
them have to be pretty good. Looking at the global Glory circle, the three
people who can play the elemental shaman that well are Yan Jiang, Li
Heran, and Cong Yi.”
“There’s no need to mention Yan Jiang, but Li Heran was the world’s
number one ADC back then. Even if he’s been injured, he still has enough
skill to do the micro-operations. Cong Yi’s elemental shaman is no worse
than his.”
“I’m quite curious about this. If Cong Yi played the butterfly warlock,
would he be able to fill up the mid-lane with magic butterflies?”
Asleep’s heart felt like it had been smashed by a heavy hammer as he

listened to Wei Xiao’s words.
Wei Xiao continued to ask, “So, why does he play support?”
Asleep’s fingers landed on the keyboard, but he was unable to type out even
half a word.
Wei Xiao said it for him, “Because he wants to protect you.”

Asleep’s eyelashes drifted down, and his thin lips were pulled into a taut
line.
Wei Xiao filled the screen with magic butterflies and casually killed the
three players from the other side who were trying to encircle and kill him.
He said slowly, “Although it’s a support player’s duty to protect their

teammates, no one has ever stipulated that a jungler can’t protect their
support.”
Ch191.1 - Domestic semi-finals!
Asleep looked on in a daze.
On the screen, the butterfly warlock was surrounded by a circle of

butterflies, looking like a dream of light and shadows.
Butterflies in dreams.
Because of some things that had happened in his early years, Asleep’s
memory wasn’t very good.
He didn’t remember things that had happened more than a little while ago.
Professor Zhang had said that forgetting was a very good way to heal, so
Asleep had never taken the initiative to recall the past.
However at this moment, looking at the butterfly warlock, there was a scene
that seemed to appear and overlap with the present.
Was it a year ago, or two years ago, or maybe three years ago?
When they had played Glory for the first time, what hero had Cong Yi
used?
Warlock……
Butterfly warlock…
“This butterfly warlock is very strong. There are so many butterflies even in
a bronze ranked game, how badass.”
“This must be someone’s alt account! Are they trying to rank in the national
servers?”
“Big boss, take a look at me! Are you short of a leg accessory who can
blow rainbow farts?”
The game ended, and Cong Yi had asked Asleep, “Was it fun?”
Asleep: “Mm.”
Cong Yi: “The butterfly warlock is very interesting. Would you like to try
it?”
Cong Yi: “Then, what do you want to play?”
Asleep pointed to the thief on the screen.
Cong Yi smiled. “This one? It’s a bit like you.”
Thieves hid and filled the darkness with thorns.
From then on, Cong Yi started to play support.
The sacred holy priest, the bright light priest, the sturdy giant shaman, the
complex elemental shaman…
The only warlock that he ever touched now was the medicine warlock.
It turned out that Asleep could remember these things that happened long
ago.
Asleep stood where he was and didn’t move at all.
“You don’t want the blue daddy?” Wei Xiao immediately went to snatch the
blue buff. “I’m taking it.”
Asleep came back to his senses: “……”
His jungle creep had already been snatched away by Wei Xiao.
“Shameless.” Asleep typed out the word.
Wei Xiao smiled like a fox. “This is called ‘an able man is always busy’.”
After taking the blue buff, not only was his mana unlimited, there was also
a reduction to his cooldown timers. The butterfly warlock’s performance
became even more outrageous.
At the end of the game, the MVP naturally went to Wei Xiao.
Asleep became a decoration in the later stages of the game. He couldn’t

snatch a single kill, and it was unnecessary for him to harvest anything.
Other than leading the lane soldiers and clearing creeps, there was nothing
else for him to do.
After the game ended, Wei Xiao looked at the time. “I’m going to go eat.”
Asleep: “Oh.”
Wei Xiao: “Go get some sleep.”
Wei Xiao: “Keep your spirits up and lie there waiting to be abused in the
semi-finals.”
Wei Xiao left without a backwards glance, or it could be said that he was
burning with worry.
The captain was already upstairs and should be showering. If he didn’t go in

and sneak up on him, then why had he woken up so early in the first place?!
He quit the game and walked barefoot to the bathroom. He’d just pushed
the door open when Lu Feng’s low voice sounded out. “Careful, don’t slip.”
Wei Xiao ignored him and ran in with his clothes on.
Lu Feng turned off the shower. “Your clothes will get wet after a while.”
Wei Xiao looked at his boyfriend’s chest muscles and abs. “If you want me
to take off my clothing, just say it directly. There’s no need to be so
euphemistic.”
Wei Xiao deliberately lifted up the hem of his t-shirt and revealed half of
his waist.
Lu Feng: “Go out.”
Wei Xiao: “I want to shower, too.”
Lu Feng shifted his gaze away. “Then you go first.”
Wei Xiao pasted himself up against him, his hands misbehaving. “Captain,
why are you so big…”
Lu Feng tilted his head and bit at his restless mouth.
When it came to banning sex, Lu Feng was the one who ended up being
punished.
A certain little beast still felt great, because all he had banned was the last
step.
He moaned and hummed happily on his own, while Lu Feng had to hold
back from screwing him to death.
When they went to eat breakfast, Wei Xiao’s expression was very refreshed
as he told him about Asleep’s matter.
Lu Feng’s hand paused as it was peeling shrimp, dropping his gaze to cover
the smile in his eyes.
Bai Cai-cai, who’d finished walking the dog and stayed behind to eat and
be a big light bulb, was shocked. “Old Wei, can you do it or not?”
Wei Xiao was waiting to eat the shrimp. “Why can’t I do it now?”
The captain was there, so he didn’t dare to say anything dirty. He corrected
himself, “This wave of guidance you gave him is really excellent. It’s like
you’re afraid that 3U won’t 3:0 us!”
Wei Xiao sighed. “Old Bai, you’re so dirty.”
I’m dirtying your daddy!
Bai Cai snuck a glance at the captain––sigh, he didn’t want to look

anymore. The great demon king was peeling shrimp and serving congee; his
character design was completely broken!
Brother Cai said, “We’re going to be up against 3U soon. Just let them solve
their problems on their own, why the hell would you rush in like that! If
you wake Asleep up like waking a sleeping lion, and God Yi does a wave of
excellent plays, then how will we win the semi-finals?!”
Wei Xiao glanced at him out of the corner of his eyes. “You’re afraid of
Cong Yi?”
He really had to respect this little beast. Did he have to be so sharp?!
Wei Xiao propped his cheek on his hand and looked at him. “It turns out
you’re afraid of Cong Yi, hey.”
Bai Cai’s face flushed red. “I’m afraid of your daddy!”
Wei Xiao stuffed his mouth with a broccoli. “Don’t be afraid, big brother
will protect you.”
Lu Feng: “Cough.”
Bai Cai: “Cough, cough, cough, cough!”

Don’t judge based on how they were all coughs, the gap between them
wasn’t insignificant.
One was a fake cough, while the other was practically coughing up his own
heart!
Wei Xiao turned his head and fed Lu Feng a piece of bacon. “I have the
captain to protect me~”
This spoiled brat was becoming more and more spoiled!
Brother Cai gulped down three consecutive mouthfuls of water and really
couldn’t hold on anymore,.“I-I’m finished eating!”
He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to protect his little life if he

remained here.
Wei Xiao waved his hand. “Snap out of it, we’re still expecting you to beat
God Yan in the globals.”
The fleeing little vegetable almost slipped and fell.
Only Lu Feng and Wei Xiao were left in the dining area. Wei Xiao drank
his watermelon juice and said, “I purposely said that for Bai Cai to hear.”
Wei Xiao could’ve talked to Lu Feng about Asleep and Cong Yi privately,
but he’d chosen to speak of it at the table because he wanted to stimulate
Bai Cai.
Lu Feng had guessed his intentions.
Wei Xiao complained, “If I don’t scare him a bit, then that salted fish
vegetable won’t get serious.”
Lu Feng placed the shrimp on his plate. “With you protecting him, he
doesn’t have anything to fear.”
Wei Xiao: “!”

Lu Feng: “Give him the taste of the whip, then feed him a piece of sugar.
Wei Little Xiao, you really know how to coax people.”
The hair at the top of Wei Xiao’s head stood straight up. “Ah, this is all
strategy, team strategy!”
Lu Feng: “Ha-ha.”
Wei Xiao hurriedly softened his voice, “I only coax you; in this lifetime,
I’ll…”
Lu Feng didn’t look at him.
Wei Xiao came close to his ear. “… Only coax you.”
The corner of Lu Feng’s mouth curved up, and he stuffed a piece of toast in
Wei Xiao’s mouth. “Eat.”
Wei Xiao’s mouth was damned good at seducing, “How about first
eating…” He didn’t dare to say ‘me’.
Wei Xiao started to behave. “Okay, okay.”
Banning sex was the cruelest thing in this world!
The weather was very hot on May 25th.
S City had no spring or autumn. Winter was followed by summer, and even
before June arrived, the weather was stuffy enough to leave people upset
and dizzy.
FTW’s summer team uniform was very good. It was a polo style uniform,
slim fitted with a neat neckline and a thin white edge on the short sleeves; it
was just the right amount of embellishment.
The player’s name was on their left chest in white font on a black
background, simple and clean. The only decoration was the flying dragon
and dancing phoenix team emblem on the back, printed in white.
The three letters FTW were centered between two crossed swords with a
circle in the background, like the sun in the sky.
The clothing was all the same, but individuals gave off different effects
when they wore it.
Little Ning had newly dyed his hair a hazy blue. Paired with his clean,
white skin, he looked like a rebellious teenager, even if his personality was
so well-behaved that he was more like a little white rabbit.
Yue Wenle looked even paler in the black clothing. Adding on his recent
bout of ‘special training’, he looked like a vampire from the Middle Ages
who would be baked into a potato chip if he didn’t hide from the sun.
Bai Cai was the shortest in the team. With his polite and amiable
temperament and broad smile, he was the most popular person (wife) in the
heart of all fans worldwide.
It was the first time Wei Xiao was wearing the summer uniform, and it was
a new experience for him. “The neckline is a little tight.” His fingers were
slender, and he loosened up two buttons to reveal half of his collarbone.
Wei Xiao looked at him. “Captain, aren’t you hot?”
Lu Feng’s buttons were done up to the top, and his collar was straight and
neat. The lines of his body were outlined perfectly.
Wei Xiao couldn’t help himself despite how they were in front of the whole
team. “You’re too handsome!”
The corner of Lu Feng’s eyes landed on his neckline. “Button it up.”
Wei Xiao: “It’s hot.”

Wei Xiao: “Really!”
The fans were crying out loudly about the uniforms getting changed to a
crew neck shirt next season!
Their male god group! They were too explosively handsome!
Quiet’s wild style and Close’s minimalist style were both absolutely
amazing, okay? What was up with changing everyone to a crew neck shirt?
FTW’s operations team, wake up!
Although, round collars were also very handsome…
And very attractive…
There were promotional films for the semi-finals. When FTW went to shoot
theirs, the stylists and cameraman had all been very enthusiastic.
They were too easy to shoot, looking handsome no matter what

arrangements were made. Any angle could be blown up into a large scale
photo.
It was especially the case when Lu Feng and Wei Xiao stood together.
Every inch of them looked irresistible with their two pairs of long, straight
legs!
Ch191.2 - System Announcement––
First Blood!
When the game officials released the posters, the passionate fans sent Feng-
Xiao straight up into that day’s hot search.
The passersby felt their eyes hurt when they saw it. “Your Glory circle’s
badass. How come their appearance value has soared up again?!”
“Close is really handsome. There’s no help for it, I want to try playing this
game again. As soon as I think about how such a good looking little
brother’s playing it, I can’t help myself!”
“Who is Wei Xiao?”
“FTW’s new jungler, his ID is Quiet!”
“He’s really good looking. It’s rare to find someone who can look so natural
when they’re standing beside Close.”
“What do you mean, natural? They’re clearly a pair!”
“Ahhhhh, my Feng-Xiao darlings, Mama loves you both ahhhhh!”
“FTW can do it. If they can’t win the championship, they can still go out
and make their debut as a boy group.”
“???”
“Upstairs, shut up. Our FTW will definitely be the champion this year!”
The venue for the semi-finals couldn’t be compared with that of the regular
season and playoffs.
After all, it was a competition between the top four, and the competition
committee attached great importance to it. They’d rented a venue that could
fit several tens of thousands of people and also installed a holographic
projector.
Wei Xiao was quite curious. “What will they do with the holographic
projector?”
Xiang Liu explained it to him, “They’ll project the battle in the canyon to
the whole venue.”
Wei Xiao was surprised. “That’s so awesome!”
He wanted to see it! He didn’t even want to play anymore!
Chen Feng saw through what he was thinking at a glance and said, “The
projection will only expose more flaws, and players’ mistakes will be
infinitely magnified.”
Wei Xiao’s perspective was always different. “In that case, won’t the nine
light arcs look even more explosive?”
In the next second, Wei Xiao was annoyed again. “They won’t let the
shadow thief out!”
So angry! He really wanted to know what nine light arcs looked like on a
holographic projection.
Lu Feng: “There’ll be a chance for it.”
Wei Xiao thought about it and realized, “That’s right, there’s no BP in the
singles!”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved. “When the time comes, you use the shadow thief
so that I can see nine light arcs at the scene.”
Lu Feng indulged him, “Okay.”
Chen Feng: “………………”
Do the two of you even care about me as a coach!
Well, as a coach, I also would recommend Lu Feng use the shadow thief in
the singles competition.
After the host said a whole host of things, and the promotional video was
also played at the scene, the two teams entered the stage.
Generally, the team’s top-lane player would enter first. As soon as Close
stepped out of the entrance and even before the lights could shine down on
him, the screams in the venue had already boiled up like heat waves, each
wave of sound louder than the previous one.
When Little Ning, who was to be the second to appear, heard the applause
and cheering, and he grew a little nervous. Brother Cai spoke from where
he was standing behind him, “It’s okay.”
Little Ning breathed in lightly, then nodded hard. “Yes!”
It was okay. They’d made enough preparations, and they’d made a lot of
progress. They would surely win beautifully today!
Ning Zhehan breathed in again, then walked out into the bright lights.
This was the first time he’d ever come to such a venue, and the first time
he’d been faced with such tremendous applause. It was also the first time
he’d faced such an important event.
The national semi-finals…

They had to win it in order to enter the finals.
They couldn’t lose.
Little Ning clenched his fists and stood beside their captain.
After that came Bai Cai and Yue Wenle, and finally, Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao’s gutsiness was vividly on display at these kinds of occasions. It

was his first time facing this kind of scene, and his first time experiencing
such a grand event, but Wei Xiao felt no tension at all and could even wave
his hand while showing off a sunny smile.
The fans shouted his name and were even more enthusiastic in response.
The championship’s unique battle song rang out. The five players from
FTW bowed, and the old fans in the live broadcast filled up the scrolling
comments crazily.
Although this was a standard arrangement, the order in which the players
appeared still touched them.
The first to come on stage was Close––the man who opened up a new era
for FTW.
The last to come on stage was Quiet––the strongest dark horse in FTW’s
powerful, new era.
It was an unintentional arrangement, but it provided fans with the best

answer.
This year’s FTW was bringing hope to everyone.
When 3U came out, fans from the other side also started shouting.
Their top-laner Xuan Long was already an old player. He came out of the
entrance very naturally and his smile was bright.
After that came Li Chun, their mid-laner. He was a little like Ning Zhehan,
and although he’d experienced more than Li Chun, his character was still
somewhat childish and restrained. He smiled subtly at everyone.
Then came their support player Cong Yi. The cheers from 3U’s fans
reached a new peak when he came out, shouting ‘God Yi’ loudly one after
another. Cong Yi waved to everyone, his expression gentle and polite.
3U’s marksman was also an old player. He’d already played for four or five
seasons, displaying his stunning talent along the way. He’d only joined 3U
last year, and his name was Wen Wei. His appearance was quite ordinary;
he was a little chubby, and he looked steady and reliable.
The last to come on stage was their jungler Asleep. He was also 3U’s
captain.
Asleep was one of the players most well-deserved to be called a star player
in China this year.
3U’s team uniform was dark gray, and it brought out a different kind of aura
when Asleep wore it. His short hair reached his ears, and the dark black of
his hair set off his complexion in a way that made it appear even more pale.
His handsome facial features appeared extra attractive because of his
silence.
He stood quietly on the dazzling stage, and there was a unique sense of
world weariness about him that made the fans fall for him.
The players all came out, bowed to the audience, and then the battle began.
The host’s voice was crisp and lively, “The first BO5 game of the China
competition zone’s semi-finals has officially begun!”
The audience gave a warm round of applause.
The referees came up onto the stage and checked over the players’
information, looked over their peripherals, and the players started
debugging their headsets and machines.
Finally, the game server was set up, and they entered the BP stage.
The contestants couldn’t see what was going on on the stage, but they
vaguely heard the audience’s screams.
Wei Xiao was very excited. “It must be because the holographic projection
is too beautiful!”
Bai Cai had originally been a nervous vegetable, and now… his mood had
collapsed!
Little Ning burst out laughing. “That should be it.”
Wei Xiao sighed. “Unfortunately, we can’t see anything from here.”
The players really couldn’t see anything, but the audience was very happy.
Holographic projection technology had been maturing more and more.

Now, it could project the entire canyon into the venue, and the audience
could see a 3D picture directly without having to wear 3D glasses.
As soon as the game entered the BP segment, they could see the projected
heroes standing on the screen one by one, just like seeing real people.
Both teams began to ban and select heroes, and the projection on the stage
changed as they switched their selections. The audience was so dazzled that
they didn’t have attention to spare on analyzing the line-up.
The commentators were able to stay more professional, and they attempted
to draw the audience’s attention back to the game. “As expected, 3U banned
the shadow thief.”
“Of course, Close’s shadow thief has to be shown respect.”
“Speaking of which, can Quiet brush out nine light arcs however he likes?”
“Hard to say.”
“I don’t feel that it’s necessary for him to waste time on it. No one will ever
let the shadow thief out.”
“It can still be used during the doubles competition.”
“There’s still Close in the doubles competition, and Quiet doesn’t need to
take the shadow thief.”
Their discussion aligned with many of the fans’ ideas.
Practicing the nine light arcs was time-consuming and of little use, and it
was really unnecessary.
No one would release the shadow thief to FTW in the team competition,
and there was Close in the doubles. Quiet should focus on improving his
skill with other talents.
The audience was quite regretful. “I want to see the nine light arcs…”
“Will we be able to see the nine light arcs under the holographic projection
in this lifetime?”
“The singles competition! There might even be ten light arcs!”
“But we have to wait for a long time before the singles…”
The BP segment between both sides ended amidst this discussion from the
commentators and the audience.
FTW and 3U were old acquaintances and were very familiar with each
other’s routines. It was hard for them to mess with each other in the BP
segment.
On FTW’s side, Lu Feng took the death knight, Wei Xiao took the immortal
thief, Ning Zhehan took the fire mage, Bai Cai took the storm priest who
had been a little unpopular this season, and Yue Wenle took the night druid.
3U wasn’t polite with their line-up, either. Xuan Long snatched up the
berserker warrior, Asleep took the hidden thief, Li Chun took the ice mage,
Cong Yi took the light priest, and Wen Wei took the fire launcher.
Death knight vs berserker warrior.
Immortal thief vs hidden thief.
Fire mage vs ice mage.
Storm priest vs light priest.
Night druid vs fire launcher.
Judging from the line-up, both sides had their own advantages and
disadvantages. How the match turned out would depend on their on the spot
performances.
The commentator analyzed the early and later stages of the line-up as the
game finished loading. The entire canyon spread out in front of the
audience.
Even if they’d already been psychologically prepared for the holographic

projection, the audience still grew very enthusiastic when they saw this
scene!
“It’s like watching a big animated movie!”
“The immortal thief is so handsome ahhhhh, with the holographic

projection, every hair seems to float like that of an immortal’s. I’ll love the
immortal thief for ten thousand years!”
“The death knight is explosively handsome, too. Close switched to the

heavy form at the start; this figure, these bone wings, this magical armor,
I’m dead, and I need Close to kiss me before I can be revived.”
“Upstairs, dream on!”
“Pull the person upstairs out and chop them to death!”

The audience in the live broadcast room were all acting like this, and the
live audience was even more dazzled.
They cleared their jungle, clashed in the lanes.
Neither side entered the opposing side’s jungle, and they’d originally
thought that it would be a smooth start, but unexpectedly, after one and a
half minutes––
“The death knight and berserker warrior started fighting!”
“The berserker warrior has an advantage before level six.”
“The death knight has stacked up a lot of magic marks. Unfortunately, he

doesn’t have enough skill points and the magic marks are useless.”
“The two of them are losing health very quickly. I never knew that Xuan
Long was so fierce.”
“They’re at half health, but Close doesn’t show any intention of retreating
at all.”
“Neither Asleep nor Wei Xiao have gone up to provide support!”
“This…”
First Blood!
FTW.Close killed 3U.Dragon.

Ch192.1 - Mommy, is the Pajamas
CP about to collapse?
translator: xiin editor: juurensha
Because the battle situation between the two sides was currently quite calm,
the director replayed the fight in the top lane from just now.
It was only one minute and 30 seconds into the game. Both sides finished
off a wave of lane soldiers and reached level two, then actually fought so
fiercely!
Close’s death knight usually started with its heavy form, which was a
standard operation. After all, while the light form had high mobility, it had
relatively low damage and wasn’t conducive to early lane farming. The hero
had to reach level six before it could switch forms and use the light form’s
high movement speed and support the team.
The death knight’s heavy form had high defense, and it also had a 5%
immunity to all physical damage. It could also purify itself if it could brush
up its magic marks, but of course, there had to be enough skill points to
play out this effect. This wasn’t a problem of player operations, but a limit
that came from the game mechanics.
In contrast, Xuan Long’s berserker warrior was very domineering in the

early stages. Its first skill, Bold and Resolute, dealt a good amount of
damage. Its second skill, Axe Shakes the Earth, had the added effect of
sending its target flying. In a situation where both sides were only level
three or four, he didn’t need to be afraid of anyone.
It was precisely this confidence that had made Xuan Long dare to compete
against Lu Feng in a solo fight!
From the god’s perspective, the audience could see that neither team had
gone up to provide support. They’d naturally communicated over their team
chats.
Cong Yi had asked Xuan Long, “Can you do it?”
Xuan Long was determined. “I can run away even if I can’t win.”
Cong Yi: “Okay.”
Although Asleep hadn’t said anything, he and Cong Yi’s tacit understanding
was invincible. Cong Yi asked what he wanted to ask, and Xuan Long’s
reply was also for Asleep. Since Xuan Long didn’t need support, Asleep
sped up his pace as he cleared out the jungle, trying to reach the mid-lane
before Wei Xiao did.
FTW’s communication was even more simple and rough. Wei Xiao:
“Captain! Kill him!”
Lu Feng’s voice was very calm. “Mm.”
Brother Cai’s teeth felt sour; he’d eaten too much dog food. Even the great
demon king’s monosyllable sounded inexplicable doting.
Xuan Long made use of his talent advantage and began to bully the death
knight after he’d cleared the lane soldiers. In the first clash, the berserker
warrior was obviously dominant; Bold and Resolute had a wide range, and
a close combat warrior like the death knight couldn’t avoid it just by
adjusting its positioning. He watched as Close’s health dropped halfway,
and Xuan Long started feeling a little bold.
“Fellow brothers, I may actually be able to kill the great demon king.”
Li Chun waved a flag to cheer him on from the mid lane, yelling, “Go for it,
Brother Long! You deserve to get First Blood in the semi-finals.”
Wen Wei fired a shot for him from afar. “Kill Close in a solo fight? Brother
Long, we’ll be able to boast about it for a whole year!”
Xuan Long’s attention focused. “Okay!”
Cong Yi didn’t say anything, and Asleep was even less likely to speak up.
Based on their understanding of Close, it was very difficult for Xuan Long
to kill him.
But they’d already reached this point, and saying anything would be like
pouring cold water over his enthusiasm. They couldn’t stop it in any case,
and their team momentum was obviously more important than First Blood.
Xuan Long kept an eye on the death knight’s position. He used Axe Shakes
the Earth and watched, waiting to send the death knight flying.
As long as he could control him for 0.5 seconds, his next enhanced attack
would definitely send Close to his death.
Alright!
Xuan Long’s eyes were bright, and he waited for the death knight to be sent
up into the air by the axe slamming into the ground…
“He dodged it! In this wave, the death knight moved like a snake, using an
extremely small margin to avoid the berserker warrior’s double axe
earthquake!”
The audience could see it too, and they saw it even more clearly than the
commentators. This was the advantage of the holographic projection––the
director focused the camera on the fight, and the audience could clearly see
the fighting between both sides. It turned out that Glory’s skills were as
subtle and accurate as the game officials claimed, and it turned out that
professional players’ operations were really this perfect. It was really
possible to avoid a skill by a margin as thin as a hair!
The double axe earthquake missed!
Not only did it fail to control the death knight, Xuan Long’s enhanced basic
attack was also gone!
Now…
The death knight started fighting back. He also had a skill that could send
his opponent flying, and they watched as his heavy sword swept up,
accurately slamming into the berserker warrior.
The berserker warrior soared up into the air. Xuan Long was unable to
operate the character before it landed, and the 0.5 second gap was enough
for the death knight to brush up his magic seals.
The commentator’s voice went up subconsciously, “If the death knight was
level six, the berserker warrior would’ve already died a hundred times!”
“Close’s magic mark efficiency is comparable to Marshal’s!”
“Of course. In the past, during the singles competition, Close was able to
win the world championship with the death knight.”
“It seems that in this round, Xuan Long…”
Their skills were all used in the blink of an eye. Just now, the death knight
had been under half health and was seriously injured. Now, Xuan Long was
the one in that state.
Of course, the berserker warrior wouldn’t just wait to die. Even if his health
plummeted, he still tried to fight back.
The health bars on both sides dropped down to a quarter each!
Both sides were seriously injured at the same time!
“The berserker warrior’s backing down!”
“The death knight doesn’t intend to retreat at all!”
“The berserker warrior used flash! Unfortunately, it’s too late. The death
knight’s heavy sword cleaves outwards, and his skill has locked in. It will
definitely hit him.”
“Congratulations to Close on taking down First Blood!”
This final half a second was the most action packed.
They were both at critical health, and both left with a sliver of health, but
Xuan Long and Close had made very different choices.
One was afraid and attempted to escape, while the other was determined to
fight to the end.
It was a choice that determined the outcome of the fight.
“Damn it.” Xuan Long cursed, “If I’d known, I would’ve traded my life
with his!”
Cong Yi: “It’s okay.”
The game had just started, and it wasn’t a big problem. Xuan Long had
already left Close at critical health, and although he’d given out a First
Blood, at least he hadn’t lost any lane soldiers or the tower. This loss was
within a controllable range.
Besides, everyone, including the fans in the live broadcast, all understood:
“How many players has the great demon king left a psychological shadow
on?!”
“Yes. As long as the person he was up against wasn’t Close, Xuan Long
wouldn’t have retreated at that last moment.”
“Don’t blame Brother Long. He was already very brave to dare to go up and
fight against Close in this wave!”
“It can be predicted that the top-lane players in the league will suffer a lot
when they go up against the great demon king when he’s in his peak
state…”
At such a wonderful moment, Little Lunatic Wei naturally wanted to blow

rainbow farts. He really wished he could praise his own captain so much
that flowers started blooming.
After that, he also offered himself up to help Glory’s Mic Explosion King
by adding a sentence, “Please create a clip of this segment. You’re welcome
to use it to make a cell phone ring tone so that you can listen to it ten times
a day, or eight times a day. I can guarantee it’ll leave you feeling great and
refreshed, and you’ll be able to go up in ranks and make it into the national
rankings!”
The three little ones: “……………………”
FTW’s reputation…
Oh, ever since Quiet joined the team, FTW’s reputation had long been lost!
His mouth was chattering on, but Wei Xiao’s eyes were sharp. He caught a
glimpse of the light priest’s figure.
Bai Cai saw it too. “I’ll head over?” He was currently following Yue Wenle
in the bottom lane, but if Asleep and Cong Yi were attempting to surround
Wei Xiao and he didn’t go support him, Wei Xiao would get bullied.
Wei Xiao: “No need. Asleep isn’t here.”
Bai Cai was a little stunned.
Wei Xiao explained, “Are you silly? Asleep is using the hidden thief. How
could Cong Yi expose himself?”
A hidden thief could enter stealth right from the start of the game. In
general, he would maintain a certain distance from his teammates so as to
achieve the effect of launching a sneak attack.
In fact, Bai Cai had thought of that too, but he was just a little bit slower.
He disdained him, “What if Cong Yi predicted your prediction?”
Wei Xiao: “Then I’ll have predicted that he predicted my prediction.”

Yue Wenle: “Russian doll talking is banned.”
Ning Zhehan burst out laughing.
As Wei Xiao had expected, although Cong Yi showed himself, he didn’t

actually come to the jungle zone to engage in a fight with Wei Xiao.
Instead, he went around to the bottom lane.
Wei Xiao had speculations in his heart about what was going on. He
instructed Ning Zhehan, “Be careful when you walk along the river. Cong
Yi’s put vision there.”
The director shifted the camera towards the bottom lane, where FTW and
3U’s 2v2 had left the audience unwilling to even blink.
“What’s going on? How could my God Yi have separated from Sleep-
sleep!”
“What is 3U trying to do? Are the vice-captain and captain fighting?”
“The conjoined twins have split up? Mommy, is the Pajamas CP about to
collapse?”
The optimistic, but slightly anxious fans explained, “3U has to grow, too!
Their tactics can’t always be the same. They… they must have come up
with a new idea!”
The commentators were also very surprised, and carefully analyzed this
wave of changes in 3U.
For the past two seasons, ever since Asleep and Cong Yi had joined 3U, this
team had become an absolute jungle core system.
To some extent, they placed even more importance on their jungler than
FTW did.
When Close was playing jungler, Bai Cai didn’t need to follow Close.
Firstly, Close was used to going it alone, and Brother Cai was barely able to
keep up anyway, so they were unable to play out the effect where one plus
one was greater than two; secondly, Yue Wenle’s marksman wasn’t bad at
all, and FTW had always had the intention of training him up, so they
preferred to have Bai Cai support Yue Wenle.
3U was different.
Cong Yi first belonged to Asleep, and then to the team.
3U’s haters really detested this point, and felt that the team indulged Asleep
too much. They didn’t treat Cong Yi like a person, and they didn’t pay
enough attention to the other teammates.
Although these two players had achieved considerable results in the doubles
competition, China already had a daddy of the singles competition, and they
really didn’t want to set up a daddy for the doubles. They were more
interested in building up their strength in the team competition!
In the first game of the semi-finals, Cong Yi and Asleep had changed their
previous conjoined twins state and had separated for once.
The commentator spoke, “In this game, Sleep God took the hidden thief.
When it comes to the hidden thief, it’s indeed better to act alone.”
“Speaking of which, 3U rarely uses the hidden thief. They must have
already been prepared to take it out today.”
“Wen Wei’s launcher is pretty good, and his cooperation with Cong Yi is
also very tacit.”
“FTW’s choice of marksman in this game is also relatively novel. The night
druid is a talent that was just developed at the beginning of the year. It was
very strong when it first went live, but after being adjusted by the game
planners, it ended up on the cold bench for half the season.”
“I wonder if God Le can show me a new way of playing the night druid in
this game.”
The commentators chattered on while the director kept the camera fixed on
the bottom lane.
xiin: sorry, late chapter. computer problems, but it should be fixed now.
Ch192.2 - Sure enough, your daddy
is still your daddy!
translator: xiin editors: juurensha
From the perspective given by the holographic projection, these four talents
were all very pleasing to the eye.
There was no need to talk about the two priests; they were both tall, aloof,
and abstinent, with their slender bodies and exquisite eyebrows, which
aimed right at the female fans’ hearts––not only did they love them, they
could also use them to happily play games and rank up.
The druid was of the beastmen race. It had a rough appearance, and the
night druid’s dark property made it closer to the demonic race. Adding on
the special effects from the talent skin, and the way it was wearing a cape
with a high neckline, it had a very medieval aristocratic appearance. With
the little demons everywhere, it seemed stained with the scent of evil.
The launcher had a bit of a steam punk style. It was an eccentric dwarf
whose gun barrel was thicker than his waist. When it fired a single shot, its
furthest range could reach halfway across the map.
Yue Wenle’s positioning was a bit towards the front. This time, with the
storm priest’s support, Yue Wenle had become even more arrogant. He led a
whole crowd of demons and swaggered around in front of the launcher.
Wen Wei was an old ADC player and understood the essence of staying
alive. He stood behind the light priest, looking like a little boy who was
going out shopping with his handsome father.
They cleared their lanes, and traded attacks.
The two sides fought back and forth.

The audience was filled with appreciation for the precision involved in the
holographic projection, and also sighed emotionally over the professional
players’ skillful positioning…
The commentator: “Quiet and Asleep have run into each other!”
The director switched scenes instantly, locking in on the bottom jungle

zone.
The audience’s leisurely nerves tensed for a moment as they stared at the
two thieves who’d met on a narrow road.
They weren’t invading each other’s jungle zones, nor were they clearing out
their own jungle zones. Instead, they were seizing the right time to engage
with the ancient creature.
One of the points where a jungler controlled the rhythm was through the
double dragons.
Killing a large dragon provided a buff to the lane soldiers, while killing a
small dragon provided the team with a buff. Of course, no matter which one
was killed, the five members of the team would enjoy a significant
experience bonus!
A jungler who could control the dragon perfectly was definitely a lucky star
for the team.
Asleep and Wei Xiao’s jungle clearing rhythm was almost the same, and
they even had some of the same ideas, so they’d run head-on into each other
in the dragon pit.
When the immortal thief and the hidden thief ran into each other, they’d
obviously both frozen for 0.1 seconds. After that, the immortal thief began
to toss its skills at the other thief
Reasonably speaking, the hidden thief wouldn’t expose himself, and Wei
Xiao shouldn’t have been able to see him. Here, Brother Cai had to be
praised. He’d spread out his vision ahead of time, and his vision traps had
just happened to sense Asleep, revealing his figure!
Revealing his figure wasn’t the same as breaking the hidden thief’s stealth,
so Asleep’s skill still had an additional bonus from stealth.
“They’re fighting!”
The fans were extremely delighted. “Can this be considered a PK between

the strongest junglers in the China competition zone?”
“Yes, yes, the great demon king is in the top lane now, and the little lunatics
are fighting over the c-position!”
“I bet on the immortal thief. I can praise the grandmaster’s thief until it
explodes!”
“I bet on the hidden thief. The hidden thief’s a big daddy in the early stages,
and the immortal thief’s equipment hasn’t all been assembled yet. The Ten
Thousand Swords Descend from the Sky is nothing but a decoration before
that, dealing no damage at all!”
“Ahhhh, women don’t make choices. This old lady bets on everything!”
“Then, little sister, do you want to win or lose?”
“If I want to lose, it’s still winning. Can’t I?”
“Yes, yes, yes, you’re beautiful, whatever you say goes.”
Wei Xiao and Asleep’s solo was really too familiar to everyone.
Although Wei Xiao had long passed that era where he could pressure
Asleep and hammer him into bits, Wei Xiao’s win rate was still slightly
higher.
There were more factors involved in a solo fight in a team competition. For
example, there was the terrain, the team’s support, and even the rhythm…
There were too many variables. What needed to be considered wasn’t only
the players’ level; at times, there was also a bit of luck involved.
Wei Xiao brandished a sword flower, and a white colored rainbow burst
out, coating the blade as he stabbed it straight towards the hidden thief.
The director really knew his job, and gave a direct face-to-face close up,
making the whole audience exclaim, “Cool!”
The sword rushed to the audience. Following the hidden thief’s perspective,
the audience could see the sword coming close, as though it would stab in at
the next second.
The angle changed again. Asleep made use of the speed bonus given by his
stealth being broken to skillfully bypass this fatal damage, making it so that
his health was only cut down by a quarter.
Wei Xiao’s mouth curved up slightly. “Not bad.”
The long sword was drawn back, and he used two movement shifts to head
straight for Asleep’s face. The hidden thief bent over to build up strength,
and a dagger suddenly flashed with a dark light, stabbing at the immortal
thief’s waist.
“I said a long time ago that a man’s waist can’t be injured.” Wei Xiao’s
mouth was bratty even as he operated his character to avoid the damage
Asleep dealt.
Unfortunately, the director didn’t switch to provide close-ups of the players.

Otherwise, the die-hard fans would’ve been able to figure out what he’d
said based on the shape of his mouth.
Little Wolf Wei, you’re really something!
Within two to three seconds, the immortal thief and hidden thief had already
exchanged four or five attacks. They were both assassins who dealt a high
amount of damage, so they were able to make each other lose health like
crazy even if they didn’t have any equipment in the early stages.
The mid lane was closest to the bottom jungle zone, and Ning Zhehan
spoke, “Brother Xiao, I’ll hold Li Chun down for you!”
Wei Xiao: “Mm.”
There was really no need to provide support. If Li Chun didn’t come, then
Asleep would definitely die.
The results of the fight there hadn’t yet been determined, and unexpectedly,
the first outbreak of fresh blood actually happened on the bottom lane.
3U.WW killed FTW.White!
The director immediately shifted the camera and showed the bottom half of
the canyon to the entire audience.
Oh boy…
While Wei Xiao and Asleep were fighting each other, the 2v2 in the bottom
lane had really started fighting heavily.
The director set up a replay, and the audience discovered that it was Yue
Wenle who’d made a move first.
The druid’s main mode of attack depended on his little demons. He’d just
managed to create an enhanced bug, and after the enhanced bug bit the
enemy, it would leave a paralysis effect.
This bug was very steady and accurately stung the launcher.
If he didn’t go up now, then when else would he?
Yue Wenle created more little demons and rushed up to attack.
Brother Cai followed up quickly, bumping into the light priest’s light wall
and preventing Yue Wenle from being controlled.
Yue Wenle operated several little demons simultaneously and dumped all
the damage on the launcher’s head. He watched and waited for this wave of
damage to take away Wen Wei’s life.
Unexpectedly, the light priest blocked in front of the launcher, and a pale
green beam fell from the sky. All of the damage dealt was transferred over,
landing on the light priest instead.
Cong Yi’s move was too brilliant!
Brother Cai sucked in a breath, “Retreat!”
Yue Wenle’s mouth pursed.
They had to retreat. Brother Cai gave him an acceleration, Cong Yi’s light
wall landed again, and the storm priest was already under attack from the
launcher.
This round of 2v2 had been played out beautifully.
The commentators praised them fiercely, “Although Brother Cai died, he

saved the night druid. It’s not a loss!”
“Cong Yi’s micro operations aren’t like that of a support’s at all. The angle
of that god’s blessing was really set up from a tricky angle. I think that even
3U’s gunner didn’t think that he would be able to pick up the damage.”
“Cong Yi’s personal ability has always been very strong, but he always used
to stay by Asleep’s side, and it was covered up.”
The scrolling comments were also discussing it.
“FTW can’t do it. Yue Wenle’s still letting the game get to him.”
“He looks so white and clean, how can he be so reckless? FTW should
change to another marksman!”
The fans refused to accept this. “God Le’s retreat was very timely, okay?”
“Yeah, his enhanced bug latched onto the launcher. He’d be an idiot not to
go up and attack.”
“Our reckless god won’t carry the blame for this wave. We can only blame
Cong Yi for being too excellent.”
“Doesn’t Brother Cai seem to be a little flustered?”
“Previous poster, you don’t know how to play the storm priest, right? A
storm priest that doesn’t have its ultimate move yet is nothing but a piece of
trash.”
“So, that’s why Yue Wenle was too reckless. He knew that his family’s
support isn’t in its strong stages, yet he still rushed up and offered himself
up to die.”
They took turns making verbal attacks; the haters’ remarks only need to be
mentioned briefly before being skipped over.
While the camera locked on the bottom lane, the fight between Wei Xiao
and Asleep had also reached a conclusion.
The immortal thief killed the hidden thief. Although he himself was also
left at critical health, his elegant posture as he slowly landed still surprised
the audience.
“That’s too damned handsome!”
“Are there any cosplayers doing the immortal thief? I could fall for this
kind of man!”
“Take a look at Xiaoxiao, wouldn’t it be great to have him cosplay?”
“Um…. A little bandit immortal? Oh, my nosebleed!”

In this first wave, FTW took down three kills, while 3U also took down one
kill. At the same time, they managed to shave off half of the bottom lane’s
first tower’s health.
Yue Wenle’s mostly empty HP bar meant that he could only return back to
the base and recover. As soon as he landed at the crystal, Lu Feng pressed
on the transmit button and said, “Switch lanes.”
The golden light from Close’s teleportation had only just stopped when the
death knight switched to its light form. After using a flexible movement
skill, he burst out and arrived at 3U’s bottom lane tower.
Cong Yi, whose cast bar was in the middle of loading, felt his heart leap.
The death knight’s longsword stabbed out, and the light priest who only had
a fifth of its health left was sent back to the fountain.
Cong Yi: “……”
Great. He didn’t have to bother with casting anything.
The venue exploded, “Ahhhhhh, he went under the tower to forcibly get the
kill!”
The great demon king’s so handsome he split the heavens!”
“Sure enough, your daddy is still your daddy!”

Ch193.1 - Quiet’s strength is
enough to aim for the globals!
It wasn’t just the audience; Brother Cai also wanted to call out, ‘daddy’.
He’d just died one step ago, and now Close had come up and gotten
revenge for him. The great demon king was too reliable!
Brother Cai’s eyes were coated with tears. “Captain!”
Wei Xiao was on alert. “Don’t fall for him, you’ll get nothing.”
Be a little more careful, Wei Little Xiao, you’re really treating him as if
Glory’s Mic Explosion King will act like a human!
Well fine, no one will pay any heed to Wei Xiao’s mouth even if this was
cut into a clip.
Beneath the stage, Tang Chen sighed emotionally. “We both play in the top
lane, but his play is more detailed. Lu Feng’s personal operation level is
really strong. He was already very excellent when he played jungler, and
now that he’s in the top lane, his strengths have been enhanced, and he’s
made up for his weaknesses.”
Chen Feng stared at the competition taking place on the stage. “These years
have really wronged him.”
He was obviously not suited to playing jungler, but he’d played it for so
many years.
He was obviously more free when he was in the top lane, but he’d
sacrificed himself for the sake of the team.
No wonder he’d insisted on signing Wei Xiao to their team no matter what,
back when he’d seen him two years ago.
This little lunatic was really the one who was most suited to playing jungler.
FTW began a wave of frenzied counterattacks. After the immortal thief rose
up in the mid and late periods of the game, Wei Xiao went around ganking
everywhere. As soon as he showed up, someone else’s head would
definitely fly.
Close and Yue Wenle changed lanes. When he went down to the bottom
lane, the tower had lost half of its health because of Brother Cai’s death and
Yue Wenle’s low health. But after Close killed Cong Yi, 3U was never able
to touch the bottom lane’s outer tower again.
This half health defense tower was originally the one that was in the most
precarious condition, but now it had become the strongest fortress.
Cong Yi: “Don’t go up and smash forcibly against it. Go and gank the top
lane.”
Instead of wasting three people to catch a Close who they may not be able
to kill, it was better to try to take down the marksman and mid-laner with
whom they had higher success rates.
Asleep supported the top lane. He’d just beat out a set of skills on Yue
Wenle when Brother Cai used an ultra-long distance gust of wind, pulling
over the immortal thief who was still making his way over via the river.
Wei Xiao landed, and ten thousand swords fell from the sky!
Cong Yi quickly used his ultimate move, but unfortunately, the skill could
only save one person. Wen Wei was seriously injured and lost his ability to
participate in the fight.
Yue Wenle’s positioning was towards the front. He actually tossed out a bug
that latched onto Wen Wei and bit down.
Wen Wei shot at and killed the insect, but unexpectedly, it was a poison
bug, and the mucus that splashed out after it exploded was enough to kill
him!
Yue Wenle killed Wen Wei.
Wei Xiao complimented him unceremoniously, “Nice!”
The fight was still going on. Although there was only Asleep and Cong Yi
left, the two of them showed no intention of retreating.
Asleep focused on Yue Wenle, pouncing on him stealthily.
Although they couldn’t see his position, they were still able to guess who he
was planning to attack with their eyes closed. So, Brother Cai’s protection
and Wei Xiao’s skills all slammed over.
Brother Sleep was worthy of being a top jungler in the China competition
zone as his positioning was really inspired. From the moment Wei Xiao
stepped forward, he’d attacked half a second before Brother Cai’s shield
could land and assassinated Yue Wenle, who was at critical health.
After attacking, the hidden thief had exposed his figure. Wei Xiao
continued moving forward, his hand rising to attack…
How could Cong Yi let him kill Asleep however he liked? A light wall
landed in front of Asleep and forced Wei Xiao to retreat.
Brother Cai continued giving Wei Xiao a speed buff. The immortal thief
had already been moving at a high speed and coupled with the flying buff
from the storm priest, his body moved like a flash of white light which
quickly blocked Asleep’s path.
Cong Yi: “Kill him.”
Asleep tossed out his skills, vowing to fight with Wei Xiao to the death.
In this instant, Brother Cai gave up on giving Wei Xiao a speed buff.
Instead, he tossed all of his skills on him, shouting in their team chat, “Old
Wei, get him!”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry.”
His voice landed, and he used a movement skill to retreat, pulling away
from the hidden thief.
The hidden thief’s dagger attack combo was a tracking skill. Forget the fact
that Wei Xiao had only retreated two body lengths, even if he’d retreated
four body lengths, the skills would have still been able to catch up.
Now, things were up to Brother Cai.
The tracking skill would stop once it touched an enemy.
Brother Cai rushed up to take all the damage in Wei Xiao’s stead.
The priest’s talents had never been the type of support with tough skin and
thick flesh, and Brother Cai’s health wasn’t at a healthy level from the
earlier fight. Now, he took all of the hidden thief’s damage and instantly
toppled to the ground!
This group fight was really magnificent.
3U tried to catch Yue Wenle, but their launcher was sent away by Yue
Wenle instead.
Seeing that FTW’s situation had become a 3v2, 3U’s doubles team hadn’t
been afraid and rushed up to take down Yue Wenle, even wanting to kill
Wei Xiao.
Brother Cai’s storm priest had also been played out to extremes. Although
he couldn’t heal his teammates, he had put his body on the line and
protected a DPS position. His death hadn’t been a loss!
In just a dozen or so seconds, the battle situation had changed again to

become 3U’s two against one.
Was Wei Xiao done for?
The immortal thief was at critical health, the hidden thief was at half health,
and the light priest had taken heavy damage.
What was the result?
FTW.Quiet killed 3U.Night.
FTW.Quiet double kill!
The result was that the immortal thief killed the two of them with critical
health and took down two kills!
It wasn’t surprising that the arena exploded.
The audience applauded heatedly as they watched the holographic

projection, to the point where even their palms grew red!
Too exciting!
That last wave was all too clear through the holographic imagery. It was too
tense, too bloody, and it made their pulses race!
Their skills, their health…
All of the three people who’d fallen to the ground of the canyon had no
intention to retreat. They were all filled with fighting spirit.
The cooperation between Asleep and Cong Yi was absolute, the light
priest’s light wall forcing the immortal thief to move, right towards where
Asleep’s dagger was waiting.
Wei Xiao would either be controlled by Cong Yi or killed by the hidden

thief.
How he chose all depended on his game consciousness during that single
zero point something second.
The immortal priest had moved like a fish in water, avoiding the light
priest’s control and taking the hidden thief’s attack!
The commentator couldn’t help shouting out, “Beautiful!”
It was indeed too wonderful. If Wei Xiao had hesitated for just a moment
and ended up controlled by the light priest, then the immortal thief
would’ve gone too far. Now, it looked like he’d taken the hidden thief’s
attack, but a normal attack without any enhancement had a limit on how
much damage it could deal. At the very most, he would be left seriously
injured, but not killed.
As long as he was alive, as long as he wasn’t controlled, then…
“It’s another ten thousand swords falling from the sky!”
“Quiet just used the little soldiers to cut his cooldowns!”
“That worked out just right.”
“If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m watching this live, I would suspect that this
brat is hacking.”
“To be honest… Quiet’s strength is enough to aim for the globals!”
“Please stop exaggerating! Q Cub, you’re still young, you have a long
future ahead of you!”
After the fight at the top lane ended, the immortal thief remained the last
one standing, with just a sliver of health left.
Old experts could see at a glance that FTW’s win was stable for this match.
Just now, Asleep and Cong Yi’s cooperation had been very wonderful. If
Wei Xiao had made even the slightest error, then it would’ve become a
turning point for 3U.
Unfortunately, Wei Xiao had held steady and maintained FTW’s rhythm.
3U’s shortfalls became more obvious in the middle and late stages of the
game.
The hidden thief talent had one fatal point: It was very fierce in the early
stage, but useless in the late stages.
When the game reached around 30 minutes, the hidden thief was basically
equivalent to a super soldier––oh, maybe not even as powerful as a super
soldier, since they could at least smash at the towers.
Asleep was unable to play out a significant role, while Wen Wei and Li
Chun were having trouble even staying alive under the great demon king’s
gaze. How could they deal any DPS?
38 minutes later, the night druid’s little demons extinguished 3U’s

resurrection crystal.
FTW won the first small match!
The effect of the crystal exploding was also shown in the holographic
projection. The audience was very excited by this technology, stimulated
until their blood was boiling. Some girls even reached out to try and touch
the cracked red crystal. It was difficult to distinguish whether the special
effects in front of them were a product of reality or fantasy.
The coaches came onstage, and the second round of BP soon began.
In a BO5 game, the rest period took place after the third match.
FTW’s side was naturally jubilant, but Chen Feng couldn’t refrain from
pouring cold water over them. “3U was obviously trying new tactics. Stay
steady.”
Wei Xiao: “We also have secret weapons.”

Wei Xiao made a zipper motion over his mouth. “It’s confidential,
confidential.”
If Chen Feng hadn’t been afraid of getting expelled from the arena, he
would’ve conked him on the head a long time ago!
3U’s side was much quieter.
Coach Leng spoke in a deep voice, “The hidden thief still has its
drawbacks.”
Asleep didn’t speak.
Wen Wei was full of apologies. “It’s that I didn’t play well.”
Cong Yi spoke, “When faced with Close and Quiet, any c-position will feel
pressure.”
Coach Leng’s gaze fell on Asleep’s body. “Don’t be anxious. We really

need more tactics.”
Their line-up for the first match had indeed been one that 3U had been
training up recently. The hidden thief’s ability to fight on its own had been
played out to good effect during training matches.
It was just, when faced with a team like FTW with a strong jungler and top-
laner, they were still lacking a bit of a spark.
However, Leng Feng was strongly in favor of Asleep making a change.
In the previous season, 3U’s tactics had become more and more solidified,
with Asleep as more and more of their core. They were really able to obtain
good results with this, but it also made them easy to target.
Even if they didn’t meet FTW in the semi-finals, they wouldn’t have been
able to get past TPT.
Fu Li was too good at restraining teams who had routines that were set in
stone. For TPT, a team like 3U just looked like a little toddler who was still
wearing diapers and could be toyed with until they went into seclusion.
In this match, 3U had first choice in banning heroes. After they banned a
talent, they also had the first priority in picking a talent.
FTW hadn’t yet had a chance to ban the berserker thief. Leng Feng asked,
“Take it?”
Asleep: “Elemental.”
Cong Yi’s eyebrows raised up slightly.
Leng Feng thought it over. “If we let the berserker thief out now, Wei Xiao
won’t be polite with it.”
It was rare, but Asleep spoke again, “Elemental.”
Leng Feng looked at Cong Yi.
Cong Yi: “Okay.”
The player in the first position just happened to be Cong Yi. Cong Yi locked
in the elemental shaman.
Ch193.2 - How could the difference
between them be so big?!
FTW could naturally see 3U’s selection.
Wei Xiao: “3U’s smart, they didn’t fall for it.”
They’d let out the berserker thief and elemental shaman just to try and lure
3U to take one and fight for the other.
It was reasonable to say that 3U was very attached to the berserker thief. In
a situation where they only had one spot with which to choose talents, they
would give priority to the berserker thief. Unexpectedly, 3U’s first choice
was for their support position, and they won the elemental shaman.
Chen Feng: “The berserker thief’s worth more than the elemental shaman.”
Brother Cai was eager. “In that case, I’ll lock in the berserker thief?”
Wei Xiao saw through him with a glance. “What the hell are you scared
of?”
Bai Cai was righteous. “I’m just scared! My elemental shaman isn’t as good
as Cong Yi’s!”
Bai Cai’s mood was 10,000 times better now that he didn’t have to use the
elemental shaman.
Wei Xiao tilted his head and stared at Caicai.
Bai Cai: “!”

Wei Xiao didn’t make a sound, but his gaze said it all: You’re very much in
need of a friendly beating, Brother Vegetable.
Brother Cai shuddered with fear. But… he couldn’t be concerned about this
now!
He’d scrape by this one time, and maybe be able to continue on like this for
a lifetime!
It could be seen from the line-up for the second match that 3U was ready to
fight back.
They had the elemental shaman for protection, and the wind storm thief
made a powerful appearance. Wen Wei and Li Chun took c-position talents
with relatively higher self-preservation ability, and Xuan Long in the top
lane took the divine warrior, preparing to dodge and survive even if he
couldn’t fight and win!
The 3U fans were relieved. “They’re back, they’re back, my Pajamas CP is

stable.”
“This is how it should be! Why would you guys split up? When fighting
against FTW, you should avoid fighting head on and gank like crazy. Yue
Wenle and Ning Zhehan are absolutely the weak points in the team.”
“Don’t look down on them, okay? Did my God Le’s number one ADC
position come out of nowhere?”
“Ha, ha. Did you forget about how your God Le was beaten into seclusion
by Asleep last year?”
“So what? Our FTW took the championship!”
“Without Close’s crazy power, would your God Le be able to win the
championship?”
“Last year was our Lele’s first season!”
The players all entered the canyon while the fans quarreled.
In this game, Brother Cai had gotten his own favorite hero––the holy priest.
Wei Xiao: “Follow Old Yue.”
Bai Cai was in a good mood. “’Kay.”
Wei Xiao was using the berserker thief, Lu Feng had taken the berserker
warrior that Xuan Long had taken in the previous game, Ning Zhehan had
chosen the immortal warlock because of Li Chun’s spirit mage, and Yue
Wenle in the bottom lane and Wen Wei had taken the gun launcher and
storm hunter to duel with respectively.
It was absolutely necessary to enter the other team’s jungle zone when
playing the berserker thief. Otherwise, it would be a waste of the talent’s
early stage advantages.
Wei Xiao didn’t ask Brother Cai to follow him because he was preparing to
enter the top lane jungle zone.
Since the captain was on the top lane, he would be able to come and support
him in time if he was exposed.
Unexpectedly, 3U’s top jungle zone was quiet. Not only were Cong Yi and
Asleep missing, they hadn’t even tried to put in any vision.
Wei Xiao immediately snatched up the red daddy even as he gave

instructions to his team, “Be careful.”
3U had obviously given up the top jungle zone, so they must have gone to
mess with their bottom jungle zone.
This exchange of jungle resources was also a normal way to start the match.
Bai Cai tentatively let out a skill towards the jungle zone and bumped into
Cong Yi’s vision trap.
Bai Cai: “They’re both there!”
Wei Xiao glanced at the minimap and said, “Let it go.”

Bai Cai: “Okay!”
The commentators analyzed, “In this wave, FTW’s suffered a loss. Quiet’s
jungle clearing speed is obviously a bit slower than Asleep, while Bai Cai
and Yue Wenle are worried about someone emerging from the jungle zone
and don’t dare to suppress Wen Wei like crazy. By the time Asleep and
Cong Yi finish with the jungle creeps, no matter whether they go to support
the bottom lane or gank the mid-lane, FTW will still suffer a bloody loss.”
“At first glance, it’s true that FTW’s start to this game isn’t good. But the
problem is, Close…”
Without waiting for the commentator to finish, a fight had already broken
out in the top lane.
After finishing with the red daddy and the stone man, Wei Xiao gave up the
three wolves and headed straight for Xuan Long.
Xuan Long was still chattering on in the team chat, “Hurry up, you guys,
give Yue Wenle some pressure, and force Quiet to go provide support…
holy shit!”
There was no way for him not to curse, because he’d just been locked in by
the berserker thief’s scythe!
The divine warrior layered buffs on himself, thinking that he wouldn’t just
die under the berserker thief’s scythe just like that.
Wei Xiao had only unlocked two skills and couldn’t jump back and forth
even if his scythe had locked in on a player. He could only pull the locked
target closer to him.
Xuan Long was overjoyed in his heart and said, “Laozi won’t die. You guys
don’t have to come.”
As soon as his words fell, the berserker warrior’s attack smashed into his
body.
Xuan Long: “!”

They’d both played the berserker warrior, but how could the difference
between them be so big?!
The divine warrior that had been shot up into the sky now provided the
berserker thief with an opportunity to DPS brainlessly.
Xuan Long was already powerless by the time the berserker warrior’s Bold
and Resolute landed. “Laozi’s going to f*cking send out First Blood again!”
Everyone in 3U: “……”
Cong Yi added salt to the injury. “At least you gave First Blood to a
different person.”
In the last match, it was Close. In this match, it was Quiet.
Xuan Long was really scared of his vice-captain’s cold jokes!
But some people just had to support him. “Ha.”
Other than their Captain Sleep, there was no one else who would do this!
Had it not been for the fact that he knew Asleep’s character––this ‘ha’ was
really a sound indicating laughter––then Xuan Long would start suspecting
that Asleep was mocking him.
Even if he was such a noob that he could indeed be ridiculed.
At this time, the director gave the 3U members a camera shot, and the fans’
hearts, which had originally jumped up to their throats, fell back down
slightly.
“Brother Long’s in good condition. He hasn’t collapsed.”
“Did my Sleep-sleep laugh?”
“It must be that God Yi’s telling cold jokes again!”
A new fan was curious and interjected, “Cold joke?”

“Have you never listened to Glory’s Mic Explosion King? Come on, come
on, I’ll send you the link. Hurry and go experience it for yourself.”
“3U branded cold jokes with Sleep God laughing ha, ha.”
“Fellow sisters quickly go and ship it, it’s super sweet!”
“Even though, even if, I’m a man.”
“Little brothers, go quickly. You’ll be the most handsome little brother in

the world after you see it.”
The straight men were dazed from watching this. “Are the little fairy girls
all so fierce these days…”
3U was indeed not in a panic.
Xuan Long had sent himself up to die in the top lane, but in the bottom
lane, they would never let go of Yue Wenle and Bai Cai!
While they spoke, Asleep finished clearing the jungle. Making use of the
elemental shaman’s acceleration totem, he approached Yue Wenle like the
wind.
Brother Cai had started preparing a long time ago and came back to his
senses in time to use a bubble tune.
Cong Yi had finished creating his purification totem a long time ago, and as
the bubble tune flew towards Asleep’s body, Asleep had 0.3 seconds of
purification.
The commentator: “Beautiful! Asleep didn’t get controlled!”
“The timing of this purification totem is absolutely perfect. Cong Yi is

really worthy of being the number one elemental shaman in the China
competition zone!”
“Asleep’s chasing wind has bypassed the holy priest, taking him straight to
Yue Wenle.”
“The gun launcher doesn’t have its ultimate move, and its scattered shot
isn’t enough. He can’t hit the wind thief.”
The scene was even more exciting through the holographic projection. The
wind thief was a king who controlled the wind, sending out a wind blade
that sliced through the air, cutting up the surrounding space and making the
gun launcher dizzy.
Enhanced basic attacks stabbed over, one after another, and Yue Wenle’s
health dropped to less than half in an instant.
Brother Cai gave Yue Wenle a heal, but unfortunately, 3U’s storm hunter
stepped on raindrops and came over. There were two whizzing sounds as
two rain arrows shot out and landed on Yue Wenle’s head.
Asleep used another chasing wind, and his wind blade pierced the
launcher’s chest, sending him back home.
Bai Cai sucked in a breath and turned to run.
Unfortunately, Cong Yi used up half of his own health to create a control

totem, trapping the holy priest by its legs.
3U.Sleep killed FTW.Le.
3U.Sleep killed FTW.White.
In the top lane, Wei Xiao had taken First Blood, but in the bottom lane,
Asleep had taken a double kill.
In the second game of the semi-finals, 3U had finally gotten even!
Wei Xiao didn’t click to teleport over. On one hand, 3U’s three people were
all in a good state, and on the other hand, heroes revived quickly in the
early stage of the game. Yue Wenle would be back in the game soon, and if
he went over now, he’d lose experience from both sides.
He took advantage of the time while Asleep was in the bottom zone to kill
the ancient creature that had just spawned with Lu Feng, forcibly increasing
experience and gold for the whole team.
Wei Xiao: “Old Bai, you up for it?”
Wei Xiao: “Our Lele needs you.”
Bai Cai’s mouth twitched. “Shut up!”
Wei Xiao grinned like a fox and didn’t say anything else.
Wei Xiao had constantly been messing with Yue Wenle prior to the semi-
finals.
The new solo mode had made things more convenient. Wei Xiao first let
Yue Wenle experience the happiness of being tortured and killed by 100
different heroes, then let him enjoy the happiness of being cut to death by
15 thieves, and finally, let him experience being smeared into the ground by
the heroes he himself was famous for…
This was the so-called, “if you don’t break from the abuse, then you will
break out from the abuse.”
Yue Wenle was obviously the latter.
If Wei Xiao didn’t beat him up until he cowered, then he would have
managed to beat him up until he was even more fierce!
When it came to God Le… Wei Xiao wasn’t worried.
Although the training time was a little short, and the effect wasn’t yet very
stable, as long as the training continued, FTW would definitely have the
number one ADC.
Wei Xiao was more concerned about Brother Cai.
If FTW focused on its jungler core, Brother Cai wouldn’t have any
problems. The White Cabbage that followed Wei Xiao had triple his usual
strength and wasn’t afraid of anyone.
But the problem was, Yue Wenle needed Bai Cai more.
The author has something to say: Brother Cai: Being forced to remarry
[shut up]
xiin: i find it cute that Cong Yi makes bad jokes… and that Asleep laughs at
them.
Ch194.1 - Wei Xiao: You can’t only
have me in your eyes.
Asleep and Cong Yi’s pace picked up.
The Asleep who had Cong Yi following him in the previous game was now
like an entirely different person.
A talent like the hidden thief, who snuck around in the dark, really didn’t
suit Brother Sleep. Don’t judge based on how he was quiet and liked to
sleep in real life, because he was an explosive player in the canyon.
Lying in wait and looking for opportunities didn’t suit him. Core jungler
talents that led the rhythm of the game, like the berserker thief and the
immortal thief, were the ones that suited him best.
After killing Bai Cai and Yue Wenle in the bottom lane, Asleep
immediately rushed to the mid-lane with the elemental shaman’s
acceleration totem, taking away Ning Zhehan’s life before Wei Xiao could
arrive.
Little Ning’s immortal warlock wasn’t very stable. It had a very high upper
limit, but also a very low lower limit. When he was in a good state, he was
super amazing, and when he was in a bad state, his performance was super
awful.
When going up against Asleep, Ning Zhehan was nervous all the way to the
core of his heart, so his state was really average.
By the time Wei Xiao arrived at the mid-lane, Little Ning was already long
gone. The wind thief and the elemental shaman were fearlessly clearing out
the lane soldiers.
Wei Xiao: “Ying.”
Everyone in the team thought Wei Xiao was acting spoiled towards the
captain, but unexpectedly, his next sentence was, “Brother Cai~”
Brother Cai: “!” F*ck, Little Lunatic Wei, don’t mess around with me.
Wei Xiao: “FTW needs you.”
Only then did Bai Cai let out a breath of relief. For better or worse, this
beast hadn’t come up with a ‘I need you’.
As it turned out, Brother Cai’s breath of relief had come too soon. Wei
Xiao’s next sentence was, “You can’t only have me in your eyes.”
Bai Cai: “……………………”
I’m not, I didn’t, Captain, listen to me explain!
FTW.Close killed 3U.Dragon.
Xuan Long: “Ahhhhh, I can’t hold on anymore, you guys need to hurry up
and take control of the pace!”
Brother Cai was just as scared as Brother Long; it was over, he kept having
the feeling that while Xuan Long died in the canyon, the one who’d died in
society would be the vegetable stalk that was him!
This was a tough game for FTW.
Not to mention the experts; even the fans could see it.
“Our FTW has quite a lot of problems.”
“Although this sense of problematic places has lessened ever since Quiet
joined the team, it’s still there.”
“It wasn’t obvious when they played a game that was to their advantage, but
once they’re targeted and bitten at, their weaknesses are evident.”
This was also a concern that the FTW coaching team had.
Why had Chen Feng hoped that they wouldn’t draw 3U in the semi-finals?
It was because the combination of Asleep and Cong Yi was a godly level
restraint against FTW’s weaknesses.
Wei Xiao and Lu Feng had no problems with their cooperation. Close didn’t
need to cooperate as much with his teammates after going to the top lane, so
that feeling of disjointedness that had troubled FTW for a long time had
lessened a lot.
Additionally, Wei Xiao was a little expert at driving the pace and could lead
his own rhythm until they were all flying, covering up their weaknesses
even more tightly.
They’d covered it up, but it wasn’t eradicated.
During this time, Yue Wenle’s growth had been visible to the naked eye. As
a coach, Chen Feng could see this more clearly than anyone else.
How to make a team of five players well-integrated and harmonious as a

whole was the most important topic at hand.
Wei Xiao was working hard, and Chen Feng was trying his best to
cooperate with him. At the same time, he was looking forward to seeing the
results.
Asleep and Cong Yi ganked FTW’s mid and bottom lanes until they
exploded.
Wei Xiao was always half a beat late. This was the advantage of having an
immortal level support.
As soon as Cong Yi sensed Wei Xiao’s position, Asleep would immediately

head in another direction and attack another lane.
Although everyone was clear in their hearts about not messing with Close,
there were still three places to mess around in between the mid lane, bottom
lane, and jungle zones, while Wei Xiao was only one person.
There were solutions to this problem.
One would be to have Brother Cai follow Wei Xiao around. Brother Cai
could provide a wave of anti-reconnaissance and directly gank Asleep until
he collapsed.
Another plan would be to have Brother Cai and Yue Wenle hole up against
Asleep’s frenzied assaults, waiting until Wei Xiao could arrive to provide
support and counter attack.
The former was simple. Brother Cai and Wei Xiao’s cooperation was
absolutely enough for them to pressure Asleep and Cong Yi to death.
However, Wei Xiao didn’t want to do this.
He would rather use a small defeat in one of the matches of their game in
exchange for Bai Cai and Yue Wenle’s growth.
No special training was more effective than training during a real

competition.
If FTW lost to 3U here, then it meant that they didn’t have the strength to
make claims on the championship title.
Instead of covering up the problem, it was better to tear it open directly,

exposing themselves bloodily under the sun so that they could accelerate
the healing process!
Wei Xiao had discussed this with Lu Feng prior to the competition.
Or, it could be said that Wei Xiao had to talk to his boyfriend about all
matters, even those only as big as a sesame seed.
Especially after they banned sex; without the bout of exercise before
sleeping, Wei Xiao might die if he didn’t talk.
Lu Feng didn’t talk much, but he was a great listener, and he liked to listen.
Wei Xiao spoke to him about the situation in the team, talked to him about
Little Ning, about Brother Cai, and about Yue Wenle. He would even talk
about himself.
It had to be admitted that Wei Xiao had a pair of extremely sharp eyes and
insight that went far beyond his current age.
He was accurate when judging people, and he was very clear about reading
people.
What was even rarer was that he always had a belly full of ‘wonderful’
moves.
Initially, Lu Feng was focused on his voice, listening to his light tone and
watching his attractive appearance. Later on… the more he listened, the
more serious he became.
Wei Xiao’s personal experience had let Lu Feng sense something––
A person who could cooperate with others really had to pay out a lot behind
the scenes.
How was it some sort of affinity that went against the heavens?
How was it an innate insight?
Wasn’t it that he saw a lot, thought a lot, and tried to learn a lot?
Wei Xiao asked Lu Feng, “Is it okay if I let it go when Asleep and Cong Yi
go to gank the bottom lane?”
Lu Feng understood what he was trying to say. “Aren’t you afraid that their
mentality will collapse?”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved. “Captain, you’re underestimating them.”
At the time, Lu Feng had been stunned for a moment.

––It wasn’t that he underestimated them. It was that he didn’t trust them.
Perhaps this was the difference between him and Wei Xiao.
The longer the game dragged on, the higher Asleep’s farm became. His
equipment became better, and his state had also reached the peak. He
became even crazier when he went to gank his opponents.
Even without mentioning Ning Zhehan in the mid-lane, the bottom lane
with Yue Wenle and Bai Cai had already become a disaster zone.
Brother Cai had sweat all over his forehead as Yue Wenle became more and
more eager to fight.
After dying three times in a row, Brother Cai couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Old Yue, you… f*ck!”
He hadn’t yet finished his words when the elemental shaman’s totem
inserted itself by Yue Wenle’s body. Yue Wenle didn’t retreat. Instead, he
used a set of skills and threw them into Asleep’s face like his life depended
on it.
Brother Cai was anxious enough to die. “I can’t heal you!”
Yue Wenle’s health plummeted sharply as Asleep instantly attacked him

until he was seriously injured.
Bai Cai had never felt that the holy priest was so powerless before. He’d
played the holy priest for years, but this was the first time he’d felt that
Glory’s super healer didn’t have enough heals!
He’d already tossed out all his skills, giving out both shields and healing,
but he was unable to keep Yue Wenle alive.
The two of them fell again, and Brother Cai exploded, “Can’t you hide
when you see Asleep…”
Wei Xiao interrupted his words, “Not bad, Old Yue. If there hadn’t been a
difference in farm just now, Asleep would be nothing but a soul beneath
your arrows.”
Bai Cai fell into a daze.
Wei Xiao continued, “Don’t panic! Wait until our Brother Le starts rising
up. By then, ten Asleeps wouldn’t be enough for you to shoot down.”
The data on the farm panel was displayed very clearly.
The Yue Wenle who’d died so many times was a full 3000 gold behind
Asleep in farm.
That was equivalent to half of a fully finished piece of equipment.
A fully finished piece of equipment added a stunning amount of stats to a

hero. Yue Wenle was able to seriously hurt Asleep despite such a wide gap,
which was enough to show how delicate and detailed he’d been with his
micro-operations.
Bai Cai’s palms were sweaty, and the expression on his face grew somber
for once.
As a person who’d gotten used to being a salted fish, he’d already forgotten
how to fight hard.
He’d constantly been complaining about Yue Wenle, always feeling that he
was reckless, and that he’d lost his mind. He felt that he didn’t retreat when
he should.
But Yue Wenle had already done the most he could. If he’d only helped him
control Asleep and Cong Yi a little more or had a little bit more healing or
helped him take even a little of the damage, the situation wouldn’t be like
how it was now.
It was very likely that Yue Wenle would’ve been able to counterattack and
kill Asleep and Cong Yi despite a 3000 gold difference in farm!
The sweat on Bai Cai’s forehead slid down, and he felt the importance of
his position for the first time.
This was a game where FTW was unable to turn the tables.
There were indeed some ways to target the great demon king.
It was impossible for a fair e-sports game not to have a system of balance
and restraints. Otherwise, FTW wouldn’t have been on the decline for three
full years.
The easiest way to restrain Close was for the other side to snowball their
farm.
The results of Asleep and Cong Yi’s frenzied slaughter was this: Asleep’s
farm was far higher than Close’s.
During the first half the game, they were unable to catch and kill Close, but
towards the middle and later stages of the game, Asleep, Cong Yi, and
Xuan Long surrounded Close to take him down. Let alone Close, even an
immortal wouldn’t have been able to escape.
Even if your two fists could fight against four hands, it was still difficult to
win against six hands.
Defeat!
FTW lost the second match of the BO5.
There were sounds of cheering, encouragement, and discussion throughout

the arena.
Some of the fans were in a panic, “It’s over, it’s over, how can FTW
overcome this hurdle?”
“F*ck, I’m flustered. FTW can’t lose!”
“If they lose today, will the great demon king have to fight on his own again
this season? QAQ.”
“No, no, no, FTW will definitely rush their way into the global finals this
year.”
Of course, there were also some rational fans. “What the hell are you
howling for? There is no such thing as a team without any weaknesses.”
“If there’s a problem, then fix it. Regardless of whether it’s Little Ning or
Yue Wenle, both of them are still young. Can’t you give them some time?”
“I think it’s great. In the past, FTW used to only rely on Close, and recently,
they started to become a little reliant on Quiet. Please, this is a team game.
All five people should stand up on their own, okay!”
“That’s right! What we want is to see five gods in FTW, not just the great
demon king on his own!”
Ch194.2 - Bai Cai: I hate you bold
and fearless people the most!
The commentators certainly wouldn’t say that there was a problem with
FTW. They only focused on praising the winning team.
Competitions where there were ups and downs were more lively. 3U wasn’t
a weak team, and especially when it came to Cong Yi’s elemental shaman,
it was really a hero that was worth being sent into the ban position.
Chen Feng came up on stage and glanced at the three little ones.
Ning Zhehan was a little flustered, but this brat’s moods came and went
quickly. Wei Xiao would be able to get his spirits back up with just a few
playful words.
Although Yue Wenle had been ganked throughout the whole game, there
was no problem with his mental state. He was eagerly looking forward to
the start of the next game.
But Bai Cai…
Chen Feng shifted his gaze away and stared at Wei Xiao’s computer screen.
“Have Brother Cai follow you in the next game?”
Wei Xiao tilted his head to look at Bai Cai. “Brother Cai?”
Bai Cai’s tensely strung heart relaxed a little bit, and he was just about to
speak…
Wei Xiao: “Brother Cai says that he doesn’t want to follow me.”
Bai Cai: “???”

Bai Cai: “???”
Yue Wenle: “I want to use the frost hunter in this game.”
Chen Feng: “Brother Cai will use the elemental shaman, then.”
Bai Cai: “???”
Wei Xiao: “Okay. That’ll also free up a ban position. Caicai, you can do it!”
Bai Cai: “………….” I can do your daddy!
What did it mean to catch the white cabbage and put it up on the shelf?
They’d be live broadcasting it now for everyone.
The third match began.
Both sides had already played for an hour and a half, and the score was
even.
No matter who won this game, it would be the match point.
Would it be FTW who preemptively took two points, or would 3U snatch

up the advantage from behind? It all depended on this game!
The BP ended. Both sides had traded support heroes.
Because FTW had first pick, they’d locked in the elemental shaman
directly, while Cong Yi took the holy priest that Bai Cai had used in the
previous game.
Wei Xiao took the blood thief, and Lu Feng locked in the blood warrior.
The audience couldn’t help but scream shrilly when they saw these two
choices.
Neither the blood thief nor the blood warrior were strong heroes in the
current version of the game, but there was a small easter egg that could be
triggered when both talents were used at the same time.
In the backstory for the talents, the blood thief had been reborn again
because of the blood warrior, so they had a linked skill––life sharing.
Of course, the symbolism of this small skill was greater than its actual
usefulness. This skill could only be used when both sides’ health was
greater than 60%, and it had to be used during a non-combat state.
It was a little link that didn’t break the balance of the game, but it left the
audience with a mouth full of sugar.
“I don’t care, even if FTW loses this game, I’ve still managed to enjoy my
ship!”
“F*ck, fellow sister upstairs, we want to enjoy pure sugar. Don’t insert
blades into it on your own!”
“Sugar has to be enjoyed, and the competition has to be won. Go, go, go
FTW!”
Wei Xiao couldn’t help running his mouth, “My lord, I have been waiting
for you.”
This was what the blood raven thief said to the blood warrior prior to his
death in the game’s backstory film.
The three little ones felt their goosebumps jump straight out, and they
shivered instantly.
Wei Xiao tilted his head to look at him. “My lord?”

Wei Xiao laughed cheekily, then spoke through time and space to Glory’s
Mic Explosion King again, “Don’t broadcast the segment where my general
told me to shut up!”
It would be strange if it wasn’t broadcast, you little lunatic with all your
plays!
The third game of a BO5 would start to test the overall quality of the
professional players.
In the first game, players were in their most relaxed state. They might win
with a bang or lose the game with their overconfidence.
The second game was still alright, because the first game acted as a warm-
up. This was usually the most splendid game in the BO5, where both sides
would fight desperately in a way where either I live or you die.
But once it reached the third match, the high level of concentration and
focus that had lasted for an hour and a half would weaken, and the players’
feelings about the competition would become complicated. Their emotions
might get heavier, and they might start to lose their sense of self or even
feel depressed.
FTW’s side was pretty good, but 3U’s side was feeling some slight fatigue.
This couldn’t be judged based on how they’d won the second game. They
hadn’t felt any less pressure on their minds.
Wen Wei, who’d struggled with all his might to suppress Yue Wenle, now
felt a little flustered…
Pressuring the mid and bottom lanes was 3U’s magic weapon that they used
to limit Close. Once this magic weapon failed, the situation would become
difficult.
In this game, Asleep and Cong Yi remained together. One stood in front,
with one following behind tightly.
Wei Xiao was still on his own, while Brother Cai followed behind Yue
Wenle’s figure.
The commentators: “We rarely see Brother Cai’s elemental shaman.”
“He only took it for one game in the previous season, but he played it really
well.”
“Brother Cai’s support position has always been very stable. Last year, he
followed Close and fought from the South to the North, showing quite a
few brilliant plays.”
“I heard that Quiet and Bai Cai are old partners, but we didn’t see them
cooperate together today.”
“It’s said that they’re old partners, but that’s from their youth training camp
days. When it comes to cooperation, Bai Cai and Yue Wenle have been
together for a bit longer.”
“That’s true…”
The commentators only spoke about the surface situation and were very
polite, but the fans understood the implications.
“What’s with this! The grandmaster is Cacai’s soul, okay!”
“The commentators have gotten too unrestrained with their boasting.

Brother Cai’s support is very stable? That’s a zen type salted fish support
who is afraid of making mistakes!”
“Seriously speaking, during this regular season, I only started noticing

Brother Cai’s existence after he went off with Quiet…”
“FTW’s a little off target. Wei Xiao’s obviously a jungler core, and Bai
Cai’s particularly sticky towards him. Does tearing these two apart even
make sense?”
They would understand very soon: It made sense.

The aggrieved feeling carried over from the previous game to the current
game. Yue Wenle’s frost hunter acted inhuman right from the start of the
game, taking advantage of the time when Asleep was clearing out the jungle
to suppress Wen Wei like crazy.
Wen Wei was really miserable. He was very aggrieved about having to fight
one against two, and he even had to encounter Yue Wenle’s ‘bullying’.
He lost two lane soldiers in a row and couldn’t hold back anymore. “Yue
Wenle’s lost all reason, come and get him!”
Cong Yi: “Right away.”
It wasn’t only Wen Wei who felt this way. The commentators, the audience,
and even Bai Cai thought so.
Damn it…
Brother Cai was about to go crazy from creating totems in order to protect
Yue Wenle.
Wei Xiao provided them with vision. “Asleep’s heading over.”
Bai Cai’s heart leapt up. He was just about to suggest that Yue Wenle come
back to his senses, but unexpectedly, the frost hunter moved extremely
quickly, shooting out an ice arrow to decrease his opponent’s speed even as
he pulled away from Asleep in the blink of an eye.
Wei Xiao saw this series of moves through the minimap. “Beautiful!”
Brother Cai was stunned for a brief moment before the attack totem in his
hands arrived at Yue Wenle’s side in the nick of time.
Yue Wenle was calm and quiet even as his ice arrows whizzed over towards
Asleep’s body.
Cong Yi healed Asleep, pulling the health he’d lost back up again.
The frost hunter didn’t deal enough damage in the early stages. Even if
there was an attack speed increase, it was still difficult for him to cause
substantial damage to Asleep, let alone when there was a godly healer like
Cong Yi beside Brother Sleep.
In this first wave of ganking, it looked as though neither FTW and 3U had
made any mistakes, but on a deeper level, FTW had earned the advantage!
Yue Wenle didn’t need to kill Asleep. What he needed to do was to interrupt
his attacks.
The thief needed to kill his target first whenever he attacked. If he wasn’t
able to suppress Yue Wenle right at the start, then it would be difficult for
him to continue his pursuit, especially when Yue Wenle wasn’t on his own.
Asleep and Cong Yi retreated, and Yue Wenle continued to suppress Wen
Wei, causing a small crack in 3U’s rhythm.
Wei Xiao ordered Little Ning, “Try your best to stay beneath the tower.”
Ning Zhehan nodded hard. “Yes!”
Wei Xiao went to the top lane and cooperated with Lu Feng to kill Xuan
Long again.
Xuan Long was already very zen in this game. He shouted after sending out
three First Bloods in a row, “Brother Long is sacrificed to the heavens for
endless power. Screw their daddies, 3U!”
What else could they do?
They could only find a way to honor his sacrifice, feeling a wave of
heartache for Student Xuan Long who was hugging and crying for himself.
Unfortunately, Asleep and Cong Yi had no way to be as arrogant as they’d

been in their previous game.
Six minutes later, Asleep was able to gank Yue Wenle and kill him.
However, from ten minutes onwards, Asleep realized what a terrifying
experience it was to be dominated by the ice arrows.
The frost hunter was one of Yue Wenle’s famous heroes. His understanding
of its ultimate move was too strong, and his ice arrows never missed.
When it went out the first time, Asleep was locked in place.
When it went out the second time, Asleep was locked in place again.
When it went out the third time, Asleep was locked in place…again.
The audience was shocked. “This accuracy is too exaggerated.”
“It’s like Yue Wenle’s put a positioning device on Asleep’s body!”
“These ice arrows… they’re enough to put anyone into seclusion!”
The commentators’ eyes were sharper. “Everyone should pay attention to

Quiet’s positioning.”
“The vision that Quiet’s providing is too accurate.”
“Can blood thieves be played like this?”
“They can! The blood raven thief has very high endurance because of its
blood sucking mechanism. He doesn’t need to go back to the base at all and
can really move around freely.”
“So, you mean that Quiet figures out where Asleep is, so that Yue Wenle
can shoot out his ice arrows so accurately?”
“That’s exactly it!”
“This cooperation… they’ve definitely practiced for a long time.”
In fact, they hadn’t practiced for that long. At least when it came to Yue
Wenle, he hadn’t wasted much time on this.
Wei Xiao always gave him the right vision and had an accurate grasp on his
skill cooldown time. He could mark the right angle and provide him with
enough of a range of vision.
Yue Wenle drew his bow and released his arrows and could always lock
Asleep in place one step before he attacked.
20 minutes later.
Asleep’s rhythm was completely disordered, and the frost hunter who
hadn’t been suppressed in this game had already become the daddy of the
entire canyon!
A group fight broke out in the bottom lane. Bai Cai’s totem controlled Wen
Wei, and Yue Wenle only needed two basic attacks to leave Wen Wei
seriously injured.
Wen Wei burst out with a curse, “F*ck!” This kind of damage was
poisonous!
Things became even more poisonous later on. Asleep locked onto Yue
Wenle, and reasonably speaking, a marksman would absolutely die after a
thief went around them and attacked from behind.
But Yue Wenle didn’t even move. He stood there steadily and shot out one
arrow after another, straight into Asleep’s face.
Bai Cai’s cold sweat poured down. “I hate you bold and fearless people the
most!”
His mouth might say so, but his hands threw all the healing totems he had
onto Yue Wenle’s body.
The frost hunter’s HP went up and down like a roller coaster, falling all the
way to the bottom before rising back up to the peak. He stood steadily,
vividly displaying what it meant to ‘stand still without moving but my
opponent can’t kill me.’
FTW.Le killed 3U.WW.
FTW.Le killed 3U.Night.
FTW.Le killed 3U.Sleep.
FTW.Le triple kill!
Finally Yue Wenle and Bai Cai were able to execute a perfect counterattack
when faced with the deadly encirclement and suppression from three 3U
players!
The author has something to say: God Le, badass! Brother Cai: Fortunately,
I’ve remarried. The captain shoots over a death glare.
xiin: i love watching their growth~

Ch195 - Perhaps his help was a new
form of imprisonment for Asleep.
The audience was full of cheers; the frost hunter looked explosively cool in
the holographic projection.
––Their figures were in a cold canyon, but the passionate blood in their
hearts burned.
At this moment, even 3U’s fans were sincerely giving him warm applause.
Of course, the players on the stage with their sound proof headsets couldn’t
hear it, but the atmosphere in the team chat wasn’t much worse.
Wei Xiao gave Yue Wenle and Bai Cai a fierce round of praise.
It directly made Brother Cai’s ears turn crimson. “Enough, enough.”
It would be too fake if he continued praising like this, okay!
Wei Xiao was happy. “Captain, it looks like the two of us can lie down flat
and wait to be carried to victory in this game.”
Little Ning didn’t understand the joke. “I, I, I…” Can also lie down flat!
Wei Xiao’s tone was righteous, “The blood thief and blood warrior are
connected by life and death. What are you joining in for?”
Ning Zhehan: “………” It was very reasonable, but why did he always feel
that something was off about it?
Brother Cai had already been sweating profusely from Yue Wenle’s actions.
At this time, listening to Wei Xiao’s words, he grew even more frightened.
“You……”
He hadn’t yet had time to try and patch things up when he heard Wei Xiao
ask Lu Feng, “Isn’t that so, Captain?”
Lu Feng: “Connected by life and death?”
Wei Xiao: “Yeah!”
As soon as his voice dropped, Lu Feng used the Connected By Life and
Death skill for him.
Brother Vegetable: “………………………………”
Can you be a bit more attentive? We’re currently playing in the national
semi-finals!
The audience naturally didn’t know what they were talking about, but their
eyes were sharp.
Under the holographic projection, the bloodthirsty general’s entire body

was covered with a bloody mist, and his pale fingertips pressed gently
against his subordinate’s eyebrows, leaving a drop of blood on his forehead
that glistened like a ruby.
The deputy made a gesture of thanks, his attitude filled with reverence.
This was the linked skill between the blood warrior and the blood thief.
The two of them had the same amount of health, living and dying together.
“What happened!”
“Why did Close suddenly give Quiet a Connected By Life and Death?”
“Does there need to be a reason! Isn’t this a skill that you can use just
because you want to?” In any case, it had no practical significance and was
only used for entertainment.
“I know that this skill has no effect on the game, but what I don’t
understand is… why did the great demon king suddenly start spoiling the
little lunatic? What did the two of them say!”
“It’s over, it’s over, my CP’s forcing me to overthink things!”
“Great demon king, if you’re being threatened, just blink!”
“What’s the threat? What can the Little Lunatic Wei threaten him with?”
“For example, sleeping on the floor tonight?”
“Damn, fellow sister, tell me more about what goes on in your head!”
FTW’s win was stable for this game.
The frost hunter’s farm crushed the whole canyon. And with his highly
explosive DPS, Asleep couldn’t even think of trying to touch him.
The advantages of Yue Wenle’s recklessness were seen at this time.
Although cowering meant self-preservation, another aspect of recklessness

was opportunism.
Yue Wenle was very good at grasping opportunities. Once he caught a gap
that he could take advantage of, he could shoot through the whole canyon
with his ice arrows.
An ADC that lost his head was easy to catch, but an ADC who’d lost their
head and played recklessly could also destroy the sky and the earth.
2:1!
FTW was first to welcome the match point!
There was a half-time break after three matches. When they took off their
headsets, Wei Xiao tilted his head to ask Brother Cai, “Didn’t it feel great?”
Bai Cai: “Great… like hell it did!”

Wei Xiao’s smile was wide. “How can you obtain the ultimate experience if
you don’t work hard?”
I don’t f*cking want to have the ultimate experience at all!
Even if it really felt quite good…
After going back to the backstage lounge, FTW’s side was naturally in high
spirits.
Their leading score was one of the reasons for it, and the other was their
breakthrough.
Yue Wenle’s struggle for supremacy had set everyone’s heart on fire with
passion in the third game.
FTW didn’t just have Close, and FTW didn’t just have Quiet. Everyone in
FTW had the courage to shoulder this heavy task, and they all had the
courage to win the game!
The quiet and unassuming God Le had told everyone with his strength that
the China competition zone’s number one ADC hadn’t been replaced by
someone else.
Chen Feng didn’t say much else. He mentioned a few points that didn’t
touch on any sore points to steady the players’ moods. It was enough to
help them muster up their energy.
When it came to the trash talk segment, as usual, Wei Xiao wasn’t given a
chance to go.
Wei Xiao was unhappy. “We’ll always be at an advantage in future games.

Doesn’t that mean I’ll never be able to go?”
Chen Feng: “I’ll borrow your lucky words.”
Wei Xiao: “…………” So angry!

It only took one glance for Little Lunatic Wei to understand. “Captain~”
Lu Feng got up first, and Wei Xiao followed him out.
Alright then, he’d miss out on the trash talk segment, but there was now a
recharging segment. He’d earned big!
FTW’s side was relaxed and happy, while on 3U’s side, it was a different
scene.
The starters were actually in good states.
Xuan Long was a silly fool, Li Chun was well behaved, and Wen Wei was
self reflecting. Cong Yi and Asleep weren’t the type of people who would
get depressed from a momentary loss.
Leng Feng didn’t say anything. The strength gap was right there in front of
them, and simply forcing their way through it would get them no results.
Let alone that, he was also distressed over his own cubs.
They were already trying very hard, but they still needed to work harder.
Only Zhou Xuehai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, which made
everyone annoyed.
“Like I said, we shouldn’t have tried any new tactics. If we’d started
targeting Yue Wenle from the start, then we’d now be at 2:1!”
“Cong Yi, you should just follow Asleep honestly, and gank Yue Wenle to
death. As long as you can deal with Yue Wenle and Ning Zhehan, then
FTW isn’t even as good as a fart!”
“I told you guys to listen to me, but all of you have your own ideas. Now,
things are great. It’s someone else’s match point, and if you lose in the next
match, things will be all f*cked up…”
He hadn’t yet finished, but Leng Feng couldn’t listen on anymore. “Enough.
If there hadn’t been that first game, then the game just now would’ve been
the second game.”
These words were a bit roundabout, but the meaning behind them was clear.
In the first match, 3U had tried new tactics and had Cong Yi cooperate with
Wen Wei. That was precisely because they had been afraid that they
wouldn’t be able to hold down Yue Wenle.
It was true that all the teams knew FTW’s weaknesses, and they knew that
as long as they could hold down their double c-positions, the top-jungler
combo would be powerless to turn the tables.
But this problem was something that all the teams were aware of. How
could FTW themselves not know of it?
Obviously, FTW was very clear on it, and they’d even come up with a
solution.
In the third match, Yue Wenle had hit everyone on the head with his ability.
FTW was growing, and they were growing rapidly.
Zhou Xuehai was still somewhat wary of Leng Feng. He paused briefly.
“Then what do we do now? We absolutely can’t lose the fourth game!”
Everyone was still stable on the surface after losing the third match, but
they all felt uncomfortable in their hearts. After going to the backstage
lounge, they still had to listen to someone who only half understood the
game chatter on and on, which made them feel even worse.
Seeing that Zhou Xuehai was still acting superior and gesticulating, Asleep
stood up abruptly.
Zhou Xuehai was standing next to him and was taken by surprise by this
tall and thin boy’s sudden actions.
Asleep shot him a cold look and turned to leave the lounge.
Zhou Xuehai: “You……”
Cong Yi also got up and said, “If you disdain us, then we can list during the
next transfer period.”
Zhou Xuehai shut up immediately.
Xuan Long and the others had their gazes lowered, as quiet as chickens.
This scene happened from time to time during the 3U base, and they were
already accustomed to it.
At first glance, Cong Yi’s words seemed a little overboard at this juncture,
but Xuan Long and the others all understood––
These words were being said just to make Zhou Xuehai shut up, in the
hopes that he would stop messing with everyone’s mentalities.
The one who was really responsible for the team was Cong Yi.
The national semi-finals.
Who would want to lose?
After this season ended, how many more seasons could they play?
Which professional struggling on this road wouldn’t want to touch the

golden championship trophy?
Asleep leaned against the corner of a window, his eyelids at half mast.
Cong Yi glanced over at the sign depicting the smoking zone. “Want one?”
Cong Yi lit up a cigarette for himself and exhaled lightly. “What’s the
matter.”
The two of them had known each other from childhood. Despite the many
years, Cong Yi had rarely ever said these words.
He could always figure out what Asleep was thinking. Where was the need
to ask him what was the matter?
But these days, while Cong Yi could obviously sense that something was
wrong with Asleep, he couldn’t confirm exactly what was wrong with him.
This made Cong Yi very surprised, but it was also a little unsettling.
Professor Zhang’s words echoed in his ears, “Cong Yi, you’ve opened the
door to Asleep’s heart, but if this continues, will you have become another
door in front of him?”
These words smashed into Cong Yi’s heart like a heavy hammer.
When he was a child, Cong Yi had been the one who led Asleep out of his
own world.
People all said that Cong Yi was the key to Asleep, the key that opened up
his heart and let him enter the world.
But––
“You understand him, get him, and you know what he’s thinking. You even
help him make decisions, help him speak, and help him face things.”
“You protected him, took care of him, and gave him a comfortable
environment.”
“But looking at it from another perspective, is this environment you’re

giving him another closed space?”
Professor Zhang hadn’t clarified it further, but Cong Yi understood.
He helped Asleep express himself, helped Asleep communicate with

people, and helped Asleep say the things he didn’t want to say.
Was this helping Asleep, or was it depriving him of the ability to continue
coming out of his shell?
Cong Yi wasn’t sure.
Perhaps his help was a new form of imprisonment for Asleep.
This awareness made Cong Yi very uneasy.
Asleep’s eyes raised up slightly, and he looked at him. “Do you like playing
support?”
It was a clear and cold, youthful voice that held the clumsiness and rawness
of someone who hadn’t spoken in a long time.
Cong Yi froze for a moment and couldn’t quite react.
Asleep looked at him, his pair of black eyes quiet and calm.
The cigarette ash that slipped from his fingers woke Cong Yi up from his
daze. He carefully cleaned up the dirtied ground, and when he got up again,
he’d already returned to his usual mild and thoughtful appearance. “Why
would you suddenly ask about this?”
Asleep didn’t say anything, but his thoughts were clear in his eyes: Do you
like it?
Cong Yi’s mood was very complicated. He felt a little confused and had a
strange sense of relief at the same time, “I quite like it.”
Asleep dropped his gaze again. “That means you don’t like it.”
Asleep: “Do what you like.”

Cong Yi put out the cigarette and kneaded his forehead. “So that’s what
you’ve been thinking about these days?”
Cong Yi was curious. “Then what exactly have you been thinking about?”
Asleep’s thin lips pursed, like the words had already arrived at his lips, but
they were stopped by something unknown.
He couldn’t say it.
His heart wanted to say it, but his mouth wouldn’t move.
Cong Yi immediately said, “It’s fine, don’t say it.”
He was very clear about Asleep’s situation and the problems he faced.
Forcing him to say something was like sharpening a knife on his body.
Asleep’s attitude relaxed, his thin lips shifting slightly.
Cong Yi understood what he meant. “Why are you apologizing to me.”
Cong Yi looked at the time. “Alright, if there’s anything to discuss, we can

talk about it slowly after we get back. Let’s finish the game first.”
Asleep: “Mm.”
Cong Yi walked ahead, and Asleep looked at the 3U.Night printed on his
back.
That sentence came up to his throat again: I want to protect you, too.
––Protect you, the one who has always protected me.
The fourth game began.

Wei Xiao was filled with energy. “It’s the match point game, let’s make it a
big one!”
Bai Cai’s heart felt like it was suspended in the air. He was really scared.
Yue Wenle: “Sure.”
Brother Cai fell back into his e-sports chair.
Chen Feng knew what they wanted. “The phantom thief?”
Chen Feng went to look at Yue Wenle. “The longbow druid?”
Brother Cai lamented, “I don’t want to play the apocalypse priest ahhhhh!”
Coach Chen ignored him.
FTW took out their big moves for the match point, and 3U also took out
their ultimate weapons.
Asleep snatched up the berserker thief, and Cong Yi took out his puppet
warlock.
The audience was instantly on fire, “How exciting!”
“The puppet warlock can play support?”
“Interesting, interesting!”
Ch196 - Little kitty, don’t cry. Big
brother will......
There were many talents in Glory that could play in multiple positions.
For example, the medicine warlock could be played as a mid-lane hero or

support. For example, the death knight could be played in the top-lane or in
the jungle. Even amongst the hunters, there were also talents that could be
played in either the mid-lane or bottom lane.
The talents were diverse, and the line-up possibilities were infinite. The
positions were inanimate, but the players were alive, and this was what
made the tactics so interesting.
The puppet warlock was one of the flexible talents. When used in the mid-
lane, it could control and deal DPS, and it wasn’t weak at providing
support. When it was used for the support position and switched out its gear
for tank gear, it could tank damage, exert control, and provide DPS that
other support talents couldn’t match.
Naturally, a talent as flexible as the puppet warlock also had its

disadvantages. One was the difficulty level in operating it––not only did it
require high hand speed and micro operations, it also depended on strategic
awareness and an overall view of the situation. Second, it was difficult for
people to find its balance––it wasn’t as tanky as a real tank, its control
wasn’t as reliable, and its DPS fell short of a real DPS talent.
Every talent had its good and bad points. How it was evaluated all
depended on a team’s tactics.
3U had taken the puppet warlock for Cong Yi, and it was clear that they
planned to use it for the support position.
However…
“Cong Yi’s really been a bit buried.”
“His personal level is very high. Those who’ve seen his single queue live
broadcasts can all see it clearly. He dares to use anything.”
“It’s not like Brother Cai’s type of daring to use anything, right…”
When Bai Cai live streamed, he was often left barely scraping out a living;
especially before Wei Xiao had joined the team. It was normal to have
jungler kings spoil the vegetable, and Bai Cai could use the lolita fire mage
to support a jungle king and still win the game.
“I’m sorry, let me correct my words. It’s not that he dares to use anything,
but that he can use anything.”
“He’s that amazing?”
“Of course, he’s not an all-rounder king like Close and Quiet, but his
warlocks and mages are all played pretty well.”
“Just looking at his hand speed when he plays the elemental shaman is
enough to show that he’s not the average player.”
“So, why is Cong Yi playing support?”
“What’s wrong with playing the support position? A support position player
can also be given god status!”
“Don’t mention that rogue Yan, okay? He’s disgusting.”
Yan Jiang was a harbinger of bloody storms and could instantly cause the
scrolling comments to tear into each other.
The BP ended, and both sides’ line-ups were determined. The fourth match
of the national semi-finals began!
The talents that FTW took inspired the commentators to say a lot.
“The tide warrior hasn’t been seen for a long time. Has Close ever used it in
singles?”
“Close hasn’t used it much, but I heard that Marshal in North America has
used it often recently.”
“Speaking of which, Close was always following L&P’s training matches

when he was treating his shoulder.”
“It seems that he’s making use of what he’s learned!”
Since Yuan Ze was another harbinger of bloody storms, the commentators

didn’t dare to mention him too much. They only mentioned him briefly,
then let the topic slide.
Not only had Lu Feng taken the tide warrior, but Wei Xiao’s phantom thief,
Yue Wenle’s longbow druid, and Bai Cai’s apocalypse priest, and even Ning
Zhehan’s cat engineer all made the audience feel like they were seeing
something fresh and new.
“So, this is why I just like to watch FTW play. They dare to use anything
and can pull out all sorts of tricks. Their line-ups aren’t limited, and they’re
not dependent on any talent.”
“Unlike some other teams who only have one or two routines. Don’t they
find it boring to use the same thing every day?”
“There’s also a certain crying team who hides all the time and doesn’t let
anything see the light. Who knows if they even have anything solid.”
This implication was a little too obvious, and the live broadcast room that
had only just finished banning one set of keywords now did another round
of bans.
Some people had fair evaluations. “To be honest, the reason FTW has so
many line-ups isn’t because their coaching team is amazing. It’s because
Close and Quiet’s hero pools are too deep, okay?”
This was the so-called ‘even a clever woman can’t cook a meal without
rice’. Coach Chen Feng was very capable, but if a player had only mastered
one or two heroes, then there would be limits to his tactical thinking no
matter how amazing it was.
In comparison, 3U’s line-up was a little more old-fashioned.
Asleep was in the first position and snatched up the berserker thief, while
Xuan Long took the divine warrior. Wen Wei took the frost hunter that Yue
Wenle had used in the previous match, and only Cong Yi’s choice was a bit
more notable, having taken the puppet warlock.
No matter how the audience complained that it was boring, 3U’s line-up
this time was absolutely serious.
A jungler core, double support, and strong control.
3U’s intentions were obvious––this was a battle where they’d cut off all
means of retreat!
As they entered the game, Bai Cai said, “I’ll follow you first.”
He was speaking to Wei Xiao. In this game, Asleep would definitely go for
their jungle zone. He’d taken the berserker thief and was followed by two
support talents; he’d have to be stupid not to go into his enemy’s jungle
zone.
Wei Xiao didn’t refuse him. He said decisively, “We’ll go across directly.”
Asleep would definitely enter their jungle zone, and defending it was only a
short term solution. When it came to an early fight, FTW’s line-up didn’t
have any major advantages.
A berserker thief with a divine warrior and puppet warlock supporting it

was enough to hammer through the canyon before they reached level three.
Instead of going up against them head on, it was better to exchange

resources. Let alone when FTW’s side had a great demon king…
Wei Xiao’s voice was as sweet as honey. “Captain~”
Even Brother Cai couldn’t understand what he meant with this call, all the
way until he pulled down the minimap and found that Close, who was on
the top lane, had defended their own little eagle.
Alright, then. You two husbands have a soul level tacit understanding that
generates endless amounts of dog food! Are you done yet!
Wei Xiao immediately cleared out 3U’s bottom jungle zone, and Asleep
cleared out FTW’s upper jungle zone. Unfortunately, the little eagle closest
to the top lane had been taken away by Close, so 3U made a small loss in
this transaction.
After trading jungle zones, Asleep and Cong Yi were obviously ready and
itching to start a fight.
Wei Xiao spoke as he cleared out his own bottom jungle zone, “Be careful,
Little Ning.”
Ning Zhehan’s cat engineer was a long-distance and agile mage talent. It
was very suited to providing support everywhere, provided that it didn’t get
ambushed.
Ning Zhehan: “Yes!”
He retreated cautiously as he spoke, no longer daring to pressure the other

side’s ice mage too much. Unexpectedly, a whish sounded out by his ear.
Ning Zhehan’s heart chilled, but his flash was half a second slower than
Asleep’s scythe. Ning Zhehan sucked in a breath even as he was pulled
away from the safety of the tower. “Berserker thief!”
His flash activated, and he pulled away from Asleep again. Unfortunately,
Cong Yi’s puppet warlock had already placed a puppet on his body, and
Ning Zhehan, who’d escaped from the berserker thief’s attack range with
much difficulty, found himself running back under the puppet’s control.
The puppet warlock’s first skill was to create a puppet that could control
another player. It could be manipulated for two seconds after being used on
an enemy.
But these two seconds were deadly.
The berserker thief’s black scythe locked around the little cat’s throat and
harvested his life like a harbinger of death.
3U.Sleep killed FTW.Silvery!
Finally!
In the fourth match, 3U took First Blood for the first time.
They’d snatched away that first kill from Close’s hands!
Xuan Long was almost about to cry, “Badass, captain!”
Even if he was about to get killed by Close, he could die satisfied!
If he was the one to send out First Blood for every match in this game, he
would have to punish himself for his crimes after going back to the base
tonight!
Wei Xiao coaxed Little Ning, “Little kitty, don’t cry. Big brother will get
revenge for you later.”
Bai Cai: “………………”
Close killed Xuan Long.
Wei Xiao choked and said quickly, “About that, your Brother Yue will get
revenge for you, okay?”
Yue Wenle: “???”
Wei Xiao: “I can’t do it, I’m just a little phantom, the type who needs the
tide daddy’s protection.”
The tide warrior (Close) killed the ancient creature.
Wei Xiao was scared, very scared. He was very scared that he wouldn’t be
allowed to climb into the big, soft bed in the guest room tonight…
Although FTW had lost First Blood, and although FTW was at a bit of a
disadvantage in this match, thanks to Wei Xiao’s messing around, to hell
with being down! Ning Zhehan had already forgotten how he’d died!
Had he given out First Blood?
Who’d done it?
He didn’t remember!
xiin: little Ning’s so cute, lol

Ch197.1 - His trust wasn’t blind
trust but something that stemmed
from confidence.
Dying once in the early stages wasn’t a big problem. Ning Zhehan was back
in the game soon after his resurrection and didn’t lose too many little
soldiers.
In the farm panel, FTW and 3U were basically even. There wasn’t much
difference between them.
The only difference was that the person with the most farm in 3U was
Asleep, while FTW’s number one was Close.
In fact, there was a hidden danger here. The top-laner was relatively more
fixed in place. Having a higher farm meant that he could suppress Xuan
Long, but Close didn’t need a farm advantage to suppress Xuan Long at all.
Therefore, the extra gold coins were a little wasted, and it would be more
meaningful if he could give them to Wei Xiao.
However, the mechanics of the game were set up like this, and there was no
way to give gold to one’s teammates.
The hidden danger in FTW was an opportunity for 3U. Asleep would never
let go of this chance to gain an advantage.
He relied on the way his farm was higher than Wei Xiao’s to finish clearing
out his jungle faster, allowing him to focus on ganking and arrive at the
bottom lane before Wei Xiao could.
Not to mention, Brother Cai had provided vision. Even if he hadn’t, Wei
Xiao would also be able to figure out what Asleep was thinking, and he’d
ordered Bai Cai to go with Yue Wenle in order to maintain his temporary
advantage in the bottom lane.
Asleep came even faster than Yue Wenle had imagined, and he didn’t even
pause at all. He didn’t hide himself in the bushes and instead, went out
directly, waving his scythe and latching onto Yue Wenle.
The berserker thief’s scythe absolutely didn’t miss.
Asleep caught Yue Wenle!
Brother Cai quickly switched to the Book of Revelations, switching from

Introspection to Advice and barely managing to give Yue Wenle a boost to
his defense.
The apocalypse priest was a special type of support. It was very commonly
seen in casual games, and was especially popular among girls.
The main reason for it was that its skills were simple, and it wasn’t difficult
to operate. Also, the hero looked handsome.
The apocalypse priest held the Book of Revelations, and the book had two
forms. One was ‘Introspection’, which greatly improved the DPS ability of
a teammate if attached to a friendly troop, increasing it by a certain
percentage. The later in the game it was, the more terrifying this increase
became. The other form was ‘Advice’, and the effect was to improve their
teammates’ defense. It would also add a tiny shield that would gradually
improve as the hero levelled up and increased their skill level.
At first, Bai Cai had given Yue Wenle the Introspection buff. Now, he’d
switched to Advice, planning to protect him, but…
Yue Wenle: “Introspection!”
Yue Wenle didn’t say anything else and began to shoot at the berserker thief
like crazy.
“F*ck!” Brother Cai finally reacted.
He and Yue Wenle really lacked a certain level of tacit understanding. He

still didn’t know him well enough.
Yue Wenle had been locked in by Asleep. What was the use of ‘Advice’? A
small defense bonus and a tiny shield in the early stages wasn’t enough
against a scythe. It was better to keep up Introspection, stack up the DPS,
and trade his life for Asleep’s.
Since he was set to die anyway, then any life he could harvest was better
than nothing.
Bai Cai switched back to Introspection, but it was already too late.
What made the situation even more deadly was that Cong Yi’s puppet
warlock had actually used two puppets at the same time!
When the cute little doll settled over his shoulders, Bai Cai felt his
shoulders sink down in reality as well.
Wei Xiao: “I’ll be right there.”
Bai Cai: “Be careful of Old Yue!”
It wasn’t ‘Be careful, Old Yue,’ but ‘Be careful of Old Yue.’ It sounded
strange, but anyone who was familiar with the puppet warlock would
understand it.
Being manipulated by the puppet for two seconds wasn’t limited to just
movement. He could even control the target of Yue Wenle’s attacks!
Brother Cai watched as his own character went to sleep against his control,
and Yue Wenle’s attacks landed on his body. The longbow druid with
Introspection really dealt a lot of damage that shot straight at the heart!
The scythe dance killed Yue Wenle, and Yue Wenle’s damage left Brother
Cai at critical health.
Asleep took down a double kill.
Meanwhile, Wei Xiao and Close arrived at the same time.
The phantom thief opened up its mirror image, while the tide warrior’s
Demon Song dazed the berserker thief. The puppet warlock turned and
walked away without looking back.
The scrolling comments were laughing like crazy. “What’s going on, God
Yi, are you ditching your captain!”
“Holy shit, how heartless, my Brother Sleep was sold off by his own
support just like that.”
“There’s no helping it. Asleep’s been dazed by the great demon king, and
the puppet warlock doesn’t have any skills left. If he stays, he’ll just be
giving them two kills, so it’s better to leave as soon as possible.”
“Even if, even though, isn’t it good to die for love?”
“Don’t flame me, it’s just a joke!”
Asleep, who’d just taken two kills, died under the phantom thief’s mirror
image. Wei Xiao gained a lot from this one round, but unfortunately, he was
unable to catch Cong Yi.
Fortunately, there wasn’t a chat system in the competitive arena. Otherwise,

Wei Xiao might actually have typed something to ridicule God Yi’s actions
of selling out his friends for the sake of survival.
The commentators: “FTW still lost more. Close finished clearing his lane
soldiers before coming down, but even if he rushes up now, he’s bound to
waste a round of resources.”
“It’s a pity that Quiet was unable to kill Cong Yi. Although he interrupted
Asleep’s killing spree, he’s still 800 gold behind in farm.”
“The phantom thief can still compare to the berserker thief in the early
stages, but it’ll become difficult in the late stages.”
The phantom thief was similar to the hidden thief in that they were both
early stage talents. and they were of little use in the later stages of the game.
Wei Xiao hadn’t played very smoothly in the early stages, so it was hard to
expect him to play out anything shocking later in the game.
Soon the commentator’s eyes lit up again. “FTW directly switched lanes!
Close is staying in the bottom lane!”
“It’s a very clever move. Yue Wenle will revive soon and can rush up to the
top lane with a teleport. FTW won’t lose the slightest bit of resources.”
“And Xuan Long’s equipment isn’t very good. Yue Wenle and Bai Cai will
be able to develop safely and steadily in a two against one situation.”
“If Close is on the bottom lane, then Wen Wei…”
While they were talking, 3U switched lanes as well!
If FTW could teleport, then 3U could, too.
The great demon king wanted to bully Wen Wei?
No way.
In any case, Xuan Long was a divine warrior and could be used like a
support position even if his farm was at the very bottom of the list.
But if Wen Wei was handicapped, then Asleep would be unable to save 3U
no matter how much he burned and slaughtered away.
The rhythm of the game picked up all of a sudden.
Although it was a match point game and a game that was likely to
determine the outcome of the semi-finals, both sides still fought more and
more fiercely.
Asleep played without reservations, his entire person like a taut bow that
was ready to be released.
Mid-lane, bottom lane, jungle zone.
Asleep was always one step ahead of Wei Xiao, and he was always able to
find the right opportunity to gank someone.
Wei Xiao suffered from not having a support with him. Asleep, who had
Cong Yi with him, had help for everything. This varied from clearing out
the jungle, providing vision, and even enhancing his moving speed. Wei
Xiao was unable to compare with them on his own.
Of course, ganking could be done separately. For example, Asleep could

mess with the bottom lane while Wei Xiao went to mess with 3U’s mid-
lane, trading in an ADC for the mid-laner and making it so that neither side
gained any benefits.
But Wei Xiao didn’t do that.
The reason?
It would become an ongoing source of additional trouble.
Regardless of whether it was 3U or FTW, both teams focused on the bottom

lane as a place of strategic importance.
Li Chun had taken the ice mage. Even if Wen Wei killed him ten times, he
would still be able to play out his value in the later stages––as long as he
could control people, it wouldn’t matter if his DPS was a bit lower because
the core DPS positions were Asleep and Wen Wei.
FTW followed almost the same reasoning. The cat engineer had a strong
support ability, and after clearing the lane soldiers, it could go to the bottom
lane to provide support. Unfortunately, the vision Cong Yi provided was too
good. Once they saw Ning Zhehan heading down, they would head straight
to the mid-lane and try to take down the middle tower there like crazy.
25 minutes into the game.
Chen Feng bit his thumb nervously beneath the stage.

Tang Chen: “It’s alright, this is only the fourth match.”
Chen Feng shook his head. “We can’t enter the decisive game.”
The last game of a BO5 was also called the decisive game. This so-called
decisive game literally meant that the entire game’s win or loss was
determined with this one match; losing this match would signal the end of
the season.
There was too much pressure involved in playing in the decisive game.
Chen Feng understood Wei Xiao and knew that he was able to pump up the
team’s outlook.
But to be honest, emotions that could be rallied so easily were the most
unstable.
Wei Xiao had inspired them for a while, but he couldn’t keep it up for the
duration of the whole game. The three little ones all had various
shortcomings when it came to their ability to deal with pressure. If they
really had to play the decisive game, then their ability to play out their
potential would be greatly reduced.
On the other hand, for 3U, they’d have travelled a bumpy road in order to
catch up to a 2:2 score. At that time, their morale would increase greatly,
and they might be able to win the decisive game all in one go.
So, Chen Feng was a little flustered. What he didn’t want to see the most
was FTW having to enter the decisive game.
Hold steady.
Chen Feng stared at the scene in front of him and focused on the five
players who were active on the field.
This was FTW’s most promising year. Don’t let it all come to an end in the
semi-finals!
30 minutes into the game. The game had completely entered the later
stages.
The defense towers on both sides had been pushed all the way up to the
base, and the three isolated base towers on both the red and blue sides
guarded their final glory.
The audience’s nerves were strained to the extreme. They watched the
holographic projection without blinking.
Perhaps it would only take a group fight to determine the outcome.
Maybe, there was only one big fight left!
So far, the farm panel was about even on both sides.
Wei Xiao’s farm wasn’t much worse than Asleep’s, and Yue Wenle had
finally caught up. Even the cat engineer had sufficient pieces of finished
equipment.
There was friction, skirmishes, and everything was hanging by a hair

trigger!
No one knew when the fight would start, but once the smoke of gunfire rose
up, the winner would definitely be determined.
On FTW’s side.
Wei Xiao’s voice was light. “Don’t panic. We have the apocalypse priest
and the longbow druid. We’ll definitely win.”
Brother Cai felt uneasy. “But you’re now a waste!”
At this stage, Wei Xiao’s phantom thief was really nothing but a big waste.
He died easily in a fight, it was difficult for him to launch sneak attacks,
and it was easy for him to be caught if he tried to lead in the lanes. He’d
already fallen into his weak stage.
Wei Xiao: “I’m a bit of a waste, but I’m handsome.”

Wei Xiao called out to Yue Wenle in the middle of their conversation,
“Come and take the jungle creeps.”
Basically from seven or eight minutes ago, Wei Xiao had already started
giving out his resources.
The jungle creeps were a farm resource that belonged to the jungler. Giving
it up to his teammates meant that his own development would fall behind.
However, at this stage, the phantom thief wouldn’t be able to kill Wen Wei
even if he had all of his equipment maxed out. It was better to give it to Yue
Wenle and let him DPS from the back.
The longbow druid that was tied together with an apocalypse priest had
already developed into a DPS machine for group fights. Even basic attacks
alone were enough to make his opponents miserable.
Wei Xiao was very aware of this point, and he believed in Yue Wenle’s
ability.
His trust wasn’t blind trust but something that stemmed from confidence.
Ch197.2 - There was no rule
stipulating that a jungler couldn’t
protect a support.
3U’s team chat.
Cong Yi: “We can’t let it drag on any longer.”
At first glance, it seemed like 3U was dominant and had been pressuring
FTW during the game. It even seemed like they had a good chance of
winning.
However, those in the canyon were very clear on how terrifying the
longbow druid with full equipment was.
This was an overpowering late stage hero. It was even more of a late stage
talent than the frost hunter.
The longbow druid didn’t have any control skills or self-preservation skills.
The mechanism for its four skills were very simple; other than providing
vision, the remaining three all strengthened its basic attack.
The first skill added 50%, and the second skill added another 50%. Its
ultimate move would increase its attack speed by 200%.
As soon as one set of skills went out, even a huge tank with full gear
wouldn’t be able to hold up against this level of damage.
The puppet warlock wasn’t a talent that could resist damage. Cong Yi was
very concerned about letting this match drag out because there were too
many variables to consider.
Asleep: “Force a fight in the dragon pit. I’ll aim for the druid.”
It was rare for Asleep to say so much, and it was enough to show how
nerve-wracking the battle situation was.
Cong Yi’s eyebrows drew together in a frown. “No way. You can’t die.”
The only way to kill Yue Wenle through the iron walls of FTW’s defense
was to trade a life for a life.
Asleep was 3U’s rhythm engine. After he died, the others simply wouldn’t
be able to hold up against Close and Quiet’s joint attacks.
Cong Yi made a decision. “I’ll go and trade my life for the druid.”
Asleep froze for a moment.
Seeing the battle dragon king that led to the final battle emerge in the
canyon, Cong Yi spoke to Xuan Long, “Start!”
The divine warrior had the ability to start a team fight. Xuan Long breathed
in. “Okay.”
Using the battle dragon king to force FTW to come and fight was already a
standard routine.
But even if FTW knew that it was a routine, they still had to go and face the
challenge.
If they lost the advantage of the battle dragon king, then 3U would be able
to push over FTW’s resurrection crystal even if they were fighting four
against five.
“It’s on.” Wei Xiao.
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
As their voices landed, the phantom thief opened up his mirror image. The
phantom body and his real body rushed up to Wen Wei at the same time.
Xuan Long’s skills shifted directions, and he shot out abruptly from the
dragon pit, aiming straight at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao used up all of his skills. Backing down was impossible, but it was
really a loss for him to toss all he had on Xuan Long’s body. Let alone the
fact that exposing himself like this was enough for Asleep to lock onto him
with his scythe.
In that instant, a huge wave of sound fell from the sky––
Deep Sea Domain!
The tide warrior’s ultimate move landed, and dazzling special effects
transformed the entire dragon pit into a deep sea.
A pool of azure sea water created a deep water domain, turning the canyon
into a rift in the sea floor.
“Beautiful!” The commentators couldn’t help but exclaim, “This ultimate

move landed perfectly!”
Deep Sea Domain was a ranged attack. The tide warrior held up his trident
and summoned up a watery domain to honor the god of the sea. It would
cover the land, and at the same time, it would send all enemies within range
flying for one second. The more enemies he hit, the more he would be able
to enhance his basic attacks!
The tide warrior swept out his trident, and all enemies within range
instantly lost a third of their health.
Wei Xiao was happy and delighted. “Daddy, thank you for protecting me.”
Not only did Close’s ultimate move shock everyone in 3U, it had also saved
the phantom thief that had almost been killed.
FTW took the advantage. The cat engineer’s bomb landed, bombarding
their opponents and causing them to flee everywhere in desperation.
They saw that Wen Wei, Li Chun, and even Xuan Long all seemed to be
done for, but the audience who had god’s perspective discovered where the
real danger was. “God Le’s in danger!”
Deep Sea Domain had sent three people from 3U flying, but Cong Yi had
smoothly gone around the back and smashed a puppet onto Yue Wenle.
Yue Wenle instantly used flash, attempting to get out of the puppet
warlock’s range, but Cong Yi still had another card up his sleeve. He used
Ning Zhehan instead, and a cat bomb flew towards Yue Wenle!
Oh no!
Brother Cai was panicking by Yue Wenle’s side.
He couldn’t let Yue Wenle die!
Once the longbow druid fell to the ground, FTW wouldn’t be able to hold
up against 3U’s next wave of attacks.
The apocalypse priest’s fatal flaw was revealed here.
The apocalypse priest could strengthen a teammate’s attack and provide

defense, but it couldn’t heal. His ultimate move would buff the entire team,
but what he could do for Yue Wenle’s health bar was very limited.
What should he do?
Bai Cai had no time to think about it. He could only rush up and try to take
the damage with his own body.
Even though it was deadly for their team if he died, it was still better than
having Yue Wenle die!
Cong Yi saw through Bai Cai’s intentions and immediately changed his
target, heaping down all of the damage he could deal onto Bai Cai.
Trading the puppet warlock’s life for the apocalypse priest?

Didn’t this seem to be a trade between support and support?
No, this was profit maximization for 3U!
The puppet warlock played a much smaller role in team fights compared to
the apocalypse priest.
If the apocalypse priest could be killed, then it would be like removing the
bow from Yue Wenle’s longbow druid’s hands. The damage he dealt out
would be reduced by 50%.
A longbow druid without the apocalypse priest wasn’t anything to be

feared.
Trading Cong Yi for Bai Cai would allow 3U to make a steady profit.
A blue phantom flashed by just as Brother Cai was about to be done for.
After shifting figures, Wei Xiao was the one standing there in front of the
apocalypse priest.
The holographic projection accurately displayed this scene for the audience.
The phantom thief’s thin figure stood there like shards of broken glass,
shattering in front of Bai Cai’s white-garbed priest.
Bai Cai: “!”
Wei Xiao’s health plummeted. He’d originally been at half health, and his
health instantly dropped down to a critical state.
Bai Cai’s scalp was numb, his hands moving faster than his brain, wanting
to heal him.
No, wait…
He wasn’t a holy priest, nor was he a light priest, nor an elemental shaman.
He was an apocalypse priest who didn’t have any heals.
Brother Cai panicked. “Old Wei…”

Wei Xiao’s phantom image flew out again. He controlled the puppet
warlock who was close by, and he smashed the rest of the damage he could
deal out onto his body.
FTW.Quiet killed 3U.Night.
3U.Night killed FTW.Quiet.
Wei Xiao and Cong Yi had killed each other off!
A support position had taken away a jungler position. 3U had done great!
Bai Cai exploded. “Old Wei, what are you doing, how could you…” How
could you block the damage for me as a jungler.
Asleep, who was on the other side, was stunned as well.
Suddenly…
Wei Xiao’s rambling voice echoed inside his heart, “Although it’s a support
player’s duty to protect his teammates, no one has ever stipulated that a
jungler can’t protect their support.”
There was no rule stipulating that a jungler couldn’t protect a support.
There was no rule stipulating that a jungler couldn’t die in place of a

support.
There was no rule stipulating that a support had to be the one who was
sacrificed!
Wei Xiao saved Bai Cai.
This wasn’t a decision made unreasonably, nor was it done out of impulse.
This was the best judgment, made after considering the big picture and
understanding the situation.
Sacrificing a phantom thief in order to maintain the perfect combination of
apocalypse priest and longbow druid.
Wei Xiao released the mouse and spoke languidly, “Old Yue, Brother Cai,
it’s up to you guys now.”
Bai Cai: “……… F*ck!”
The Book of Revelations lit up, and Advice fell onto Yue Wenle’s body.
The longbow druid who now had double the damage shot through Xuan
Long with a single arrow.
After that came a round of absolute slaughter.
The deep sea domain disappeared, and the apocalypse priest’s blessing fell
down from the sky. The four remaining players from FTW were bathed in
this holy light and charged at 3U.
Li Chun fell.
Wen Wei fell.
Asleep killed Ning Zhehan, but couldn’t avoid Yue Wenle’s longbow.
The sound of arrows flying rang out one after another, and the group fight
ended.
FTW.Le quadrakill!
Another quadrakill.
Yue Wenle proved his strength in the marksman position with his terrifying
DPS.
The blue team’s crystal exploded, signaling the end of the game!
FTW won the national semi-finals with a 3:1 score!

Enthusiastic cheers broke out at the scene, for this final, wonderful
competition, for the group fight where everyone fought to the death, for
Cong Yi, for Wei Xiao, for 3U, and for FTW!
For these young people who’d brought this fantastic fight to them, but also
for the way their struggle all the way until the last second had made their
blood boil!
The commentator’s voices were loud, and the atmosphere in the whole
arena was brought up to an extreme peak.
The contestants pulled off their headsets. Wei Xiao blinked at Brother Cai.
“Badass, Old Bai.”
The rims of Bai Cai’s eyes were red. “You f*ckin…”
Wei Xiao stood up and looked across the stage at 3U.
They’d lost the game, lost this season. The five players from 3U were in a
bit of a trance.
It didn’t feel real.
Was it the end of the season, just like that?
Had they come to the end here?
Li Chun burst into tears, and Xuan Long and Wen Wei, two old contestants,
also couldn’t quite recover their senses.
Cong Yi looked straight ahead and didn’t say anything.
Until……
A cold but raw youthful voice rang out over 3U’s headset, “Sorry.”
It was Asleep.
Everyone in 3U was stunned.

Asleep’s voice trembled, but it also held unprecedented firmness, “I didn’t
protect all of you well.”
As the captain, he’d always been the one living under his teammates’
protection.
Ch198 - Captain, will you feel
aggrieved like this?
Asleep’s brain was filled with the scene of Wei Xiao sacrificing himself to
protect Bai Cai at the end.
Wei Xiao wasn’t FTW’s captain, and he was also a new player who’d only
joined this season. Even so, he’d become the pillar of the whole team.
He clearly had strength that was stronger than anyone else’s, and it was
clear that his jungler was strong enough to support the whole team as its
core, and it was clear that he would lead the team to victory by playing out
all his strengths, but…
He chose his teammates.
He’d shouldered this responsibility and lived up to it.
Real growth was to come out of one’s own comfort zone.
Asleep turned around––he finally saw the people around him and finally
took the initiative to look at his teammates.
Cong Yi immediately said, “What are you talking about, you…”
Asleep was right next to him. He took off his headset and hugged him.
Cong Yi: “!”
Asleep’s voice was light, “It’s been hard on you.”
Cong Yi, who’d always been more mature than their peers, who’d taken
care of everyone around him like a big brother, who had quietly been taking
on this responsibility, was only 18 years old.
Who would’ve thought that he was only a little bit older than Asleep?
Who remembered that he was only a half grown youth?
Cong Yi’s voice choked in his throat, and he couldn’t say a word.
Xuan Long, Wen Wei, and Li Chun all came over and hugged the two of
them between them.
They’d lost the game, lost this season, but there was still a ray of light
shining on them.
This was a light that broke through the closed off self and brought light to
feelings of alienation and indifference as it turned the heart into a rope
whose goal was Glory.
The camera focused on 3U, and the five players in a group hug was a scene
that burned itself into the hearts of the audience.
Fans shouted out the names of the players they loved, encouraging and
motivating them as they looked forward to their new future!
The two teams shook hands and said goodbye. When Asleep arrived in
front of Wei Xiao, Wei Xiao held his hand, then pulled Asleep towards
himself.
Asleep was stunned.
Wei Xiao gave him a brief hug. “You can do it.”
The rims of Asleep’s eyes that were already red became even more swollen.
Wei Xiao continued, “See you in the doubles.”
Asleep: “!”
The game was over. As one of the top domestic competitions for the season,
there was no way they would skip the post-game interviews.
Because of Yue Wenle’s excellent performance over two consecutive

games, FTW’s MVP was given to Yue Potato Chips.
Chen Feng: “Go and do the interview.”
Wei Xiao plucked the chips from his hand. “If you don’t go, I’ll go?”
Only Wei Xiao would do such a thing. If anyone else tried to snatch away
the potato chips from God Le’s hands, it would be the same as taking away
his bow and arrow in the game and would lead to real life PK.
Yue Wenle: “Oh.”
Wei Xiao was really sour and jealous. “I’m not there for the trash talk and
not there for the interview. How about I change my name?”
Even Brother Cai was too lazy to pay attention to the words that came out
of his mouth. However…
Lu Feng cooperated with him. “Change it to what?”
Wei Xiao: “Well-behaved and quiet little cutie?”
Lu Feng laughed briefly.
The whole room of people: “…………”
Where’s your dignity, big brother!
Also, great demon king, you can’t indulge him like this; his tail’s going to
fly up all the way up to the heavens!
Yue Wenle went to the interview table.

Comrade Old Yue had a quiet character. He didn’t speak much normally; if
he had the time, wasn’t it more fun playing games?
Of course, that didn’t mean that he was unaccustomed to interviews. In fact,

he was quite good at them.
The host asked a few irrelevant questions, and Yue Wenle’s answers left no
room for criticism.
Then, the host started to make trouble. “God Le performed really well today
and took the MVP for the semi-finals.”
This was obviously a trick question. A more inexperienced contestant might

fall for it, but Yue Wenle was very stable. His appearance was as pale as
ever, and his tone was easy, “It’s not that I performed well.”
The host: “Oh?”
Yue Wenle: “My teammates gave me great opportunities. The captain’s

Deep Sea Domain was the perfect start to the fight, Quiet sacrificed himself
to protect brother Cai, and Little Ning’s ranged damage lowered the other
side’s health. Of course, there was also Brother Cai’s…”
He paused, and the host immediately picked up on it, “What about Brother
Cai?”
Yue Wenle answered, “Brother Cai was very stable as an accessory.” The
apocalypse priest was also known as the apocalypse accessory and was
infamous as a talent that waited to be carried to victory.
The audience burst out laughing.
In the backstage lounge, the corner of Bai Cai’s lips twitched. “Get lost!”
He might be cursing, but the rims of Brother Cai’s eyes still grew red.
That last wave of group fighting had touched him greatly. He’d gotten used
to being a zen support player, and Bai Cai himself had a personality that
didn’t strive for much. So, he’d always just done his part and left the rest up
to fate, sacrificing himself and relying on his teammates.
But in that game just now, he’d really felt panic when Wei Xiao fell.
To put it more emotionally, to him, Wei Xiao was like a god of war.
Regardless of whether it was two years ago or two years later, or even
today.
Bai Cai was used to supporting Wei Xiao, used to watching Wei Xiao
perform all over the arena, and even more used to Wei Xiao leading them to
win.
When this person, who was like a pillar to him, toppled, Bai Cai’s brain had
flashed with a sense of loss.
The person who took responsibility was gone, their core had fallen. What
could he do as a support player?
Then, Wei Xiao told him, “It’s up to you guys now.”
Up to him?
Up to him?!!!
Bai Cai didn’t know what he’d done in that last wave. Of course,
subjectively speaking, he hadn’t needed to do anything at all. Once he
opened the Book of Revelations, he just had to escort Yue Wenle to the end,
and it was all done.
But it felt different. For the first time, he felt the sense of responsibility that
came with being entrusted with a task and being relied on––
The fact that the responsibility of bringing the team to victory had one day
fallen upon his shoulders.
It turned out that he had the power to determine whether their team won or
lost.
It turned out that winning this semi-final really had something to do with
him, Bai Cai!
Bai Cai finally experienced an unprecedented feeling of hot, burning

passion.
Wei Xiao: “What are you crying for?” He tilted his head to look at him.
Brother Cai: “Laozi’s happy crying!”
Wei Xiao grinned. “Feels great?”
Bai Cai: “Get lost!”
It really felt great.
Deep and incisive, leaving no regrets behind. It was the kind of great that
left goosebumps all over his body.
It was just, why did these words sound so poisonous coming out of Wei
Xiao’s mouth?!
After winning the semi-finals, they naturally had to have a celebration.
Xiang Liu had already made arrangements a long time ago.
Wei Xiao was curious. “Brother Liu, what if we lost…”
Xiang Liu: “Bah, bah, bah, don’t say unlucky things.”
Lu Feng: “We’d still have to eat if we lost.”
Xiang Liu: “………….” Alright then, boss, whatever you say is correct.
After the semi-finals came the finals. It was impossible for the cubs to be
allowed to drink, but holding a hot pot dinner and letting loose a bit wasn’t
much of a problem.
They were able to hold steady in the venue, and they were relatively quiet
in the car, but by the time they had gotten around to the food stage of the
evening, the happiness of this group of half-grown brats started heating up
the atmosphere.
Ning Zhehan: “We won???”
Brother Cai bonked him on the head. “What do you think.”
Little Ning: “We’re in the finals?”
Brother Cai: “Nonsense!”
Ning Zhehan, who’d never experienced such a big scene, was flushed red.
“I made it to the finals in my first season?!”
Wei Xiao joined in on the conversation as he waited for his captain to feed
him. “Calm down, wait until we win the world championship in your first
season before getting excited.”
Ning Zhehan: “!”
Xiang Liu’s heart leapt. “About that, let’s not talk big…”
Lu Feng: “That’s right.”
Xiang Liu: “………………………………”
Brother Liu stuffed his own mouth with a big bite of Australian lobster.
Forget it, forget it, it was better to say less and eat more. Otherwise, he
wouldn’t even know how he got kicked out!
After a round of eating and excitement, they went back to the base. Chen
Feng waved his hands. “Go to sleep early. We’ll go over the game replay
tomorrow.”
Brother Cai had already recovered, and his laziness crept up again. “Don’t
we get a day to rest…”
Chen Feng: “Ha, ha.”
Bai Cai: “Like hell we’re resting, Little Ning. We just took down the semi-
finals and you’re already thinking of how to laze off!”
Granny Gray, who was a little stuffed from all the eating: “???”
Wei Xiao scolded Bai Cai. “Be a little less shameless, Brother Cai.”
Bai Cai: “I’d respect those words if they came from anyone else except
you!”
Wei Xiao: “Fine, fine, fine, I’ll stop. I’m handing Brother Soy over to you.”
Wei Xiao gave Soybean a kiss, then told it, “Go play with your uncle. He’s
still full of energy.”
Soybean: “┗|｀O′|┛Ao~~~”
Bai Cai cowered. “Holy shit, Little Lunatic Wei, act like a person. It’s
already midnight. To hell with playing!”
Brother Soy only understood its father’s words and had already started
bumping its head against the white cabbage.
The dark circles under Caicai’s eyes the next day were shocking. If
someone took a photo of it and posted it up on the Gossip Emperor’s
Weibo, then it was likely that the fans would think that the little wife had
been XXOO and OOXX’ed!
Wei Xiao looked at Lu Feng, acting very reserved in front of the crowd of
people. “Captain, do you have anything else to do later?”
Lu Feng: “No.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were shining. “Solo?”

Wei Xiao: “You said it before, if we win the semi-finals, I…”
The two of them went upstairs, and Little Ning, who didn’t know anything,
sighed emotionally, “Brother Xiao’s really too diligent. We just won a
game, and he still wants to solo. He’s so diligent and hard-working, I want
to learn from him!”
Looking at this enthusiastic Ning Zhehan, Chen Feng and Brother Cai, who
both knew the truth, couldn’t bear to watch on.
Who the hell knew if they were soloing in Glory or soloing in bed?!
Like hell you want to learn that!
Coach Chen and the white cabbage had really overthought things.
Wei Xiao just asked for a kiss, the type that made him blush and his heart
race as his limbs went numb and he wanted to mmm ahhhh.
Lu Feng released him. “Go take a bath.”
Wei Xiao looked at him. “After cleaning up, can we…”
Lu Feng poked the tip of his nose. “No.”
Wei Xiao was chagrined. “There’s still so many days left before the finals.”
Lu Feng’s mouth curved briefly, and he leaned over to whisper in his ear.
Wei Xiao: “!”
The Wei Little Xiao who was blushing like a little lobster was finally
coaxed into the bathtub. He blinked after he sank into the water: No way, no
way, it was too deadly when the high and aloof great demon king spoke
words of love!
After he washed himself clean and came outside, Lu Feng had also finished
bathing.
Wei Xiao pounced over and kissed him.
Lu Feng pecked him briefly on the lips. “Sleep.”
Wei Xiao actually acted obedient and buried himself in his arms, sticking
against him like a gummy candy.
In fact, Lu Feng found it most difficult to hold back when he was like this.
The hand that was around his waist tightened unconsciously.
Wei Xiao’s heated breath hit his neck. “Captain.”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
He’d originally thought that Wei Xiao would start making trouble again, but
unexpectedly, he whispered quietly, “Will you feel aggrieved like this?”
Wei Xiao didn’t lift up his head and just rubbed against him in his arms. “In
the past, you were the most brilliant player in the canyon, getting the MVP
in every game. Everyone’s attention was on you, but now you’ve become a
foil.”
The youth’s soft voice rang out in the slightly empty room, warming Lu
Feng’s chest.
Lu Feng laughed quietly and said sincerely, “This is what I want.”
Wei Xiao lifted his head up abruptly, his bright eyes like a light rising up
into the night sky. “Really?”
Lu Feng pressed a kiss against his charming eyebrows. “Of course.”
Wei Xiao pulled him close by the collar and kissed him on the lips, “Not
aggrieved?”
Lu Feng: “Not at all.”
Wei Xiao smiled again, the emotions in his eyes confident and proud.
“You’ll shine again too.”
Lu Feng couldn’t shift his gaze away at all.
Wei Xiao continued, “When our teammates grow up, we’ll light up the
Glory Canyon together.”
In the old FTW, only Close was as bright as a star.
In the current FTW, Close’s brilliance had gradually faded.
But the future FTW would be the brilliant glory of all five people!
Lu Feng’s heart beat very fast, and he ultimately couldn’t help himself.
“Little Xiao.”
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
Lu Feng flipped over and pressed him down, a heated kiss landing on his
collarbone. “I won’t go in.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
The author has something to say: A man’s mouth… Cough, the captain isn’t
lying! Little Lunatic Wei says darkly: It’s better if it’s a lie.
xiin: translation – the captain really doesn’t go in… but, oh man, WX’s
heart, it’s so big~
Ch199 - You’re not old, but there’s
a lot of waste in your mind!
Wei Xiao was kissed until he wasn’t sure whether he was dead or alive. He
moaned, “In the bedside drawer…”
Lu Feng bit the back of his neck. Wei Xiao felt a sting of pain and
ultimately didn’t dare to say the rest of his sentence.
These actions tickled his heart. “Captain… It’s okay…”
Lu Feng didn’t listen to him.
The roots of Wei Xiao’s thighs felt numb. “It hurts.”
Lu Feng’s movements slowed down slightly.
Wei Xiao added a sentence, “You can just go in.”
Lu Feng inhaled lightly, then turned him over to kiss him.
Wei Xiao basically lost all resistance as soon as he was kissed, and his
words, which made people feel embarrassed when hearing them, came out
one after another.
First came soft calls of ‘captain’, then it became ‘boyfriend’, then later, it
was ‘husband’, ‘big brother’, and all sorts of other messy words.
Lu Feng covered his mouth with his hand, and Wei Xiao licked him with
his tongue.
The movements stopped, and Wei Xiao opened his eyes wide.
Lu Feng breathed steadily. “I’m going to go take a shower.”
Wei Xiao: “Ah…”
Lu Feng got up, and Wei Xiao followed, hugging him, “Don’t go, you
haven’t finished yet.”
Lu Feng looked down at him, his pair of lacquer black eyes full of desire.
Wei Xiao trembled. He shrank back a little, but still couldn’t control his
mouth, “I don’t want the championship that comes later, I want you to feed
me now.”
These were the words that Lu Feng had spoken to him in a low voice earlier
in order to coax him to go wash up.
They were the same words, which didn’t affect Wei Xiao when he said
them now, but listening to Lu Feng say them had made him blush
thoroughly.
Lu Feng poked his forehead. “Don’t mess around.”
Wei Xiao bowed his head to look and asked, “Isn’t that uncomfortable?”
Lu Feng: “Uncomfortable.”
Wei Xiao: “Then… mm…”
After being kissed fiercely, Wei Xiao was even less willing to let him go.
Lu Feng controlled his voice and coaxed him, “Be good.”
Wei Xiao retreated, but asked again, “Just be a little lighter, a bit slower.
I’m sure I can stand…”
Lu Feng felt a little helpless. “If I could be gentler, would things be like
this?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng: “Alright, I’m going to go shower.”
Wei Xiao was unwilling. “Then, I’ll give you… yea…”
For better or worse, the captain hadn’t gone to take a cold shower, and for
better or worse, Wei Xiao hadn’t been left unable to get out of bed.
Wei Xiao was tired and satisfied, leaning into Lu Feng’s embrace.
“Captain.”
Lu Feng stroked his back lightly.
Wei Xiao: “I feel that it’s better to direct it instead of blocking it. If you
suppress it like this, when we win the championship, won’t I be…”
direct instead of blocking – referring to having sex, in case you missed it~
Lu Feng pinched his waist, “Shut up.”
Wei Xiao: “Ah!”
Affairs in the bedroom weren’t ‘peaceful’. Little Xiao wanted to sigh!
Early the next morning, Wei Xiao’s eyes were a blur. “I’m going with you
for your morning run.” Only by exercising would he be able to play for a
longer time. He had to learn from the captain.
Lu Feng looked at him. “Can you open your eyes?”
Wei Xiao replied honestly, “I can’t.”
Lu Feng kissed him. “Go sleep.”
Wei Xiao tugged at his clothing. Lu Feng leaned back against the head of
the bed and patted him on the shoulder.
It wasn’t until Wei Xiao fell asleep again did Lu Feng carefully make his
way downstairs.
Wei Xiao didn’t sleep in for too long this time and woke up at around ten
o’clock.
There was naturally no one beside the bed anymore. Wei Xiao stretched
himself and got up to wash, but didn’t see anyone even after tossing about.
Thinking of how Lu Feng must be working, he didn’t go bother him.
The base was quiet at 10 o’clock. The cleaning aunties had finished their
work and had already headed back.
The staff in the back kitchen were still there, and seeing that Wei Xiao had
come down, they asked, “Want something to eat?”
Wei Xiao looked at the time, “You don’t need to bother.” It would be noon
soon, and he could wait until everyone else woke up to have lunch together.
There was no need to prepare breakfast for him alone.
Even Brother Soy was still sleeping. Wei Xiao was really bored, so he
simply went to the training room to single queue and score points.
Unexpectedly, he found an acquaintance online in his friends column as

soon as he logged into the game.
Wei Xiao: “Captain Mo’s also up so early?”
The ID ‘Laozi Has No Money’ was RR’s Captain, Comrade Mo Hui.
Coincidentally, Laozi Has No Money also sent him a message, “Did you
stay up all night?”
The two people who saw each other’s messages at the same time: “……”
Wei Xiao understood. “Captain Mo hasn’t slept all night?”
Money: “You really got up quite early.”

Wei Xiao: “So-so. Not as early as my captain.”
He had to bring up Close every three sentences; this was indeed Little
Lunatic Wei.
Mo Hui invited him, “Come double queue?”
Wei Xiao thought to himself: Everyone says that the same type would repel
each other. How come he attracted so many jungler kings?
Last time he’d gotten up early, he’d encountered Asleep. This time, he’d
gotten up early and run into Mo Hui.
Wei Xiao sighed and opened up his life mentor mode. “Is Captain Mo
having insomnia because of the semi-finals the day after tomorrow?”
Money: “Why do you have to bring up the one thing that shouldn’t be
mentioned.”
Wei Xiao: “Your family’s Little Moon-moon is in such a good state this
season. What are you afraid of?”
Mo Hui: “Is it useful for him to be in a good state on his own?”
Wei Xiao: “Oh, so it turns out that you can’t do it?”
Without waiting for Captain Mo to disdain him, Wei Xiao had already taken
the initiative to say, “I was wrong, I shouldn’t say that a man can’t do it.”
Mo Hui: “…… Shut up, you!”
The two of them had already entered the game as they chatted.
Wei Xiao was a jungler, and Money was also a jungler. When two junglers
collided, there had to be a…
Wei Xiao easily took the mid-lane position and even picked the immortal
warlock.
Mo Hui: “Ha, ha.”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry, I’m as good as Little Moon-moon.”
Mo Hui took the death knight and replied, “Don’t worry, I’m definitely
worse than your captain.”
Wei Xiao laughed and unceremoniously sent out an emoticon to express his
contempt.
Mo Hui: “…………”
Wasn’t sleeping attractive? Why did he have to run into this little beast!
The last person who’d thought so was Sleep God, and later on, Sleep God…
Hey, Captain Mo, you’re in dangerous territory.
Unfortunately, he’d already gotten onto the thief’s boat. He’d already
started talking to Wei Xiao.
Mo Hui’s jungler had its own style. He wasn’t a jungler core player like Wei
Xiao and Asleep, but he also wasn’t the mindless weapon type either.
He had good game awareness, but his weakness was that his sense of
rhythm was a bit lacking.
Playing games could also reveal a person’s character. For example, it was
difficult for Brother Cai to play any position other than support well, and it
was hard for Wei Xiao to play support well.
When it came to playing jungler, everyone had different personalities and

different play styles.
Wei Xiao was seemingly fierce and aggressive and was known as the little
lunatic of the canyon, but in fact, he was very careful and sensitive to the
overall situation.
Asleep was the one who was really fierce. He wanted to crack open the
canyon every time and might even blow up his own people.
Close seemed quiet, like a calm and level sea, but only those caught in the
sea knew what kind of great pressure he brought with him, regardless of
whether it was to the enemy or his own team.
Mo Hui had another style. He had decent game consciousness and his
command was on point, but his rhythm was a bit lacking. He wasn’t as
fierce when it came to ganking people, but his victories were stable.
He didn’t go crazy, didn’t go overboard, and went the middle route,

stabilizing the whole team and making it more capable of enduring
challenges.
RR’s highlight season came after Moonlit had joined the team. Moonlit and
Mo Hui had a strong level of compatibility. One of them was a spiky thorn
who only cared about performing well across the whole arena, while the
other was a rock who stabilized the whole team. With these two as partners,
RR didn’t lose out at all.
During winter training camp, Mo Hui had been indispensable when it came
to RR’s win against EVE.
It wasn’t that EVE didn’t have a qualified jungler player. Rather, it was
because EVE’s jungler didn’t have Mo Hui’s ability to hold back their own
spiky thorn.
There was someone to manage Moonlit.
But nobody dared to manage God Xie.
When the two of them got too into it, their teammates had no choice but to
charge in with them. There were ten people in the game, and Mo Hui was
the only one who was sober, so at least 70% of the reason why they won
had to be credited to him.
Wei Xiao was able to vaguely guess at Mo Hui’s concerns. “Captain Fu
restrains Little Moon a little.”
Mo Hui sighed, “He has an advantage over me, too.”
Wei Xiao sighed with him. “He’s not good to me, either.”
Mo Hui: “You have Close, what the hell are you scared of.”
Wei Xiao was happy again. “That’s true.”
Mo Hui’s teeth hurt.
Mo Hui attacked him. “Don’t think that you’ll be able to win against that
shriveled mouth crying team just by relying on Yue Wenle.”
Wei Xiao laughed loudly.
Mo Hui: “Your mid-laner will be schemed against until he dies by Old Fu.”
Based on Fu Li’s brain, he wouldn’t even need to write a script if he wanted

to toy around with Ning Zhehan. He could just casually play around with
him and be done with it.
Wei Xiao replied steadily, “Why are you looking down on my Little Ning?”
Mo Hui: “Who can’t see through him?”
Wei Xiao said somberly, “Who knows?”
Money: “Don’t underestimate Fu Li.”
Wei Xiao: “I don’t look down on anyone.”
Mo Hui sighed. His own semi-finals results were uncertain. How would he
have the spare feelings to worry about Wei Xiao?
Wei Xiao continued, “If you push down TPT and kill them off in the semi-
finals, we won’t have to be afraid at all.”
Mo Hui: “Ha.”
Wei Xiao cheered for him, “Come on, you can do it Captain Mo!”
Mo Hui was used to supporting the mid-lane out of habit. But he’d only just
arrived when he saw Wei Xiao kill the other side’s mid-laner on his own.
Alright then… this stinky brat’s immortal warlock was really very good.
Money continued to gossip with him, “If winning was so easy, would I be
here suffering from insomnia?”
Wei Xiao wondered out loud. “Why do you feel so much pressure?”
Wei Xiao would understand if Asleep was the one with insomnia, and he
wouldn’t be surprised if Moonlit couldn’t sleep, but Money?
Based on Mo Hui’s life experiences, would he need to be flustered over a

semifinals game?
Money had no one else to talk to. “If I still can’t achieve results this
season…”
Wei Xiao had a sort of ominous feeling.
Sure enough, Mo Hui’s words sounded like they’d come out of an online
novel, “I have to go back and inherit my family business!”
You rich people with your rich people’s world were really asking to be
beaten up!
Mo Hui said it like a joke, but he was really depressed inside.
He said, “I don’t have your captain’s level of ability… Even if I can afford
RR, I can’t run it, and my competition achievements are only like this…”
Each family had its own worries.

Those with money, those without money; anxiety was always fair and
wouldn’t leave anyone behind.
Mo Hui was very frank with his words.
His family wasn’t crazy like Lu Feng’s. His father and mother loved him
very much, and he also had an elder sister above him.
The Mo Family daughter was a strong woman. She was seven years older
than Mo Hui and had already started shouldering the responsibilities of the
Mo Group.
Mo Hui’s family didn’t have any expectations that their son had to be the
one to inherit the family business. No matter whether it was their son or
their daughter, whoever had the potential for it would be in charge of the
business. They were treated equally.
Big Sister Mo had been more excellent than Mo Hui as a child, and was
very good with all kinds of elite education. Her grades were at the top year
after year, and after graduation, she continued to be brilliant in everything.
Mo Hui wasn’t outstanding, but it was difficult to be outstanding when

living in the shadow of such an outstanding sister.
Money complained, “I’m really miserable. I was already being suppressed

by my elder sister, and later, Lu Feng came back from abroad and was one
of my classmates. I was crushed by him, too.”
Wei Xiao corrected him, “My captain wouldn’t crush you!”
Mo Hui: “…………”
After choking for half a beat, Mo Hui said angrily, “You’re not old, but
there’s a lot of waste in your mind!”
Wei Xiao: “Isn’t it because your words were too ambiguous.”
What did it mean to get hit in the face?

Mo Hui: “Can you focus on the key points or not!”
Wei Xiao caught the key point. “Come on, come on, Captain Mo, please tell
me more about what happened while my captain was still studying.”
Mo Hui: “…………”
Who would want to stay up all night and start talking about Lu Feng so
early!
Mo Hui forcibly dragged the topic back on track, “In short, nothing really
went my way, but later on, my fellow classmates took me to play games,
and I discovered a whole new world…”
Living under the mountain that was his sister all year round, Mo Hui’s
confidence had been worn away, and he’d played Glory out of boredom.
The killing spree he’d achieved in the bronze ranked game had given him
an unprecedented sense of achievement.
After that, he fell in love with Glory and rushed into the professional circle
without looking back.
Wei Xiao couldn’t help but interject, “It’s a pity that you still can’t beat my
captain in Glory.”
Mo Hui: “……………………..” Do you f*cking want to continue this

conversation or not!
Wei Xiao cleared his throat and comforted him, “Of course, no one in the
world can match my captain.”
Mo Hui choked. He wanted to go to sleep!
Wei Xiao was afraid that he would go and AFK at the fountain, so he
coaxed him, “Alright, alright, we won’t talk about my captain. You can
continue.”
Money: “I’m going to continue with your uncle!” He’d already said so
much, but all he had to talk about was Close!
Wei Xiao: “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll let you have my uncle.” He didn’t
have an uncle anyway.
Mo Hui: “…………” Why had he been stupid enough to have a

conversation with Little Lunatic Wei!
Although he was so angry that his liver arched, the conversation had
already reached this point, and it would be even worse if he didn’t continue.
So, Mo Hui went on, “I’m 22 years old. My parents feel that it’s about
enough, and I should settle down now and start doing proper things.”
Mo Hui’s heart felt unhappy as he spoke, “What I’m doing is something

proper!”
Wei Xiao listened, “Yes, yes, yes.”
Mo Hui: “Could you be any more perfunctory?”
Wei Xiao: “If you need me to, I really can.”
Wei Xiao stole his blue buff. “Captain Mo, let’s make a deal.”
Mo Hui was too lazy to speak out loud and sent him a punctuation mark,
“?”
Wei Xiao spoke his true feelings, “I’ll listen to you pour out your bitterness,
and you can tell me about my captain when he was a child.”
Mo Hui: “………………….”
If this wasn’t a professional server, he would go and AFK right now!
The author has something to say: Grandmaster Wei: Feeling a lot of

pressure? Can’t sleep? Come and chat with me [smile] [Strikethrough]
Victim [strikethrough] Asleep: …… [Strikethrough] Victim [strikethrough]
Money: …… Get lost!
Ch200 - Wei Xiao filled up with
vinegar. “So there really was a first
love!”
Money spoke in a fit of anger, “Who wants to pour out their bitterness to
you? Bye bye, see you later!”
Then, he thought about how he really didn’t have anyone to talk about this
to during this period of time, and eventually forced himself to put up with
it.
Wei Xiao also abided by their agreement and acted as a good listener.
Money’s mood improved after two full games. He’d just changed his
attitude towards Wei Xiao and felt that this brat could act human, then
thought about what he was actually looking forward to. Suddenly…
Like hell he was human, he was definitely a beast!
Wei Xiao’s mouth might be bratty, but he listened very carefully.
When it came to Mo Hui’s troubles, if an ordinary person heard about them,

they might want to pick up the keyboard and kill him with it.
Was this called trouble?
Did the troubles of the rich all look like this?
But, in fact, this was really very frustrating for Mo Hui.
People would always have their own pursuits in life. Mo Hui still longed to
gain recognition even if he was born in such a rich family.
With such an outstanding sister, it was difficult for Mo Hui to be
acknowledged in his existing circles. No matter how much he had in a
material sense, a life without any sense of achievement was boring.
It hadn’t been easy for him to encounter Glory, and it hadn’t been easy for
him to make achievements in the professional arena. It hadn’t been easy to
gain the recognition of countless people, and Mo Hui didn’t want to lose
any of it.
The age of 21, 22 was a bit awkward.
He was the same age as Lu Feng, but his birthday came a bit before his.
He wasn’t old enough to retire, but he wasn’t young either. It really wasn’t
time for him to fool around anymore.
Mo Hui’s parents had given him three years of freedom. They hadn’t
interfered in his dreams of playing professionally, and they hadn’t forced
him to do anything. They hadn’t even limited his pocket money and had let
him enjoy himself happily.
His parents had given him time, so he should know how to behave in this
situation.
RR’s performance wasn’t bad, and he’d become a star player in China,
but…
That small signing fee wasn’t even enough to cover his Weibo lucky draws.
Was he going to retire just like this?
Mo Hui was unreconciled to the idea.
RR had ushered in new traces of life and was climbing upwards. He’d
waited for so long; how could he be willing to give up now!
A game just ended, and the big ‘Victory’ word pierced into his eyes,
making Mo Hui’s nose grow sour.
Victory.
Victory.
He wanted to win, wanted the championship, wanted to play in the globals,

wanted to stand under the dazzling golden rain and represent the ultimate
Glory!
Wei Xiao continued to queue them for the next game. Just as they cut into
the game screen, he asked one question, “What are you thinking about it so
much for?”
Money steadied his mood. “You don’t feel any pressure; you have no
worries.”
Wei Xiao stared at the screen. “I do have them. Close has already held on
for three years; FTW has wasted three years. I can’t let them lose again.”
What’s more, this year was the fourth year of the agreement. If they
couldn’t win the global championship this year, FTW’s future would be
uncertain.
If Qing Lei pulled out, would the FTW that hadn’t been able to succeed, be
able to raise capital to continue operating?
Even if there were investors that were interested, would they dare to invest
with Qing Lei pressuring them?
Of course, this gambling agreement didn’t explicitly say that Lu Feng had
to listen to everything Qing Lei wanted, but as Lu Feng’s biological mother,
Qing Lei could make use of this agreement to control many of his rights
and interests.
She could control FTW, and Lu Feng, as a descendant of the Lu Family,

could even be used to check and balance Lu Mingze.
This was the most disgusting aspect of Qing Lei’s character.
Wei Xiao didn’t dare to lose, and he couldn’t lose.

He couldn’t imagine how Lu Feng had survived those first three years, but
he would definitely accompany him to the peak this year.
So that he could break away from Qing Lei, break away from the Lu
Family, and just be himself.
Mo Hui: “Your captain doesn’t have it easy.”
Wei Xiao’s heart felt like it had been cut by a blunt knife.
Mo Hui continued, “I know a bit about his family. Aunt Qing is a little…”
He didn’t know how much Wei Xiao knew, so he didn’t say too much about
it.
Wei Xiao didn’t have any intention of exposing the captain’s scars. He
repeated his earlier words, “There’s really no need to think so much.”
He added the part that he hadn’t finished before, “Do your best to prove
yourself. The people who love you will see it.”
Mo Hui was stunned. His heart, which had felt gloomy for days, suddenly
lightened up slightly.
Wei Xiao took the shadow thief in this game. He brushed out nine light arcs
in the dragon pit, causing the chat channel to explode as they asked who he
was.
Wei Xiao typed, “Look at my ID.”
“Close?”
Wei Xiao smiled like a fox. “It’s I Love Close The Most!”
Money came back to his senses: Where’s your dignity!
The other side was also choked by his words. In order to test out the
shadow thief, they gathered in the mid-lane and started a wave of group
fights.
Mo Hui was playing mage in this game. His performance in the mid-lane
was really mediocre, and Wei Xiao cursed at him over it from beginning to
end.
Mo Hui clumsily dealt out damage, so angry that his lungs hurt. “We won’t
lose.”
Wei Xiao: “We won’t lose because I’m damned amazing.”
Mo Hui couldn’t find anything to refute him with.
Wei Xiao sacrificed Money and took down a pentakill, stabilizing the
situation. The other side didn’t dare to act so arrogantly anymore as they
grew a bit scared of the shadow thief.
Wei Xiao was left with a bit of leisure time. “Captain Mo, isn’t it time to
talk about my little captain now?”
The corner of Mo Hui’s mouth twitched. “Little… what?”
Wei Xiao: “A young Close!”
It was really a sweet topic when he thought about it.
Mo Hui naturally knew what he was talking about, but it made his skin
break out with goosebumps. “He was a good student, particularly
outstanding. The previous person who was as outstanding as him in our
school was my elder sister.” It was really too damned cruel. First, there was
his sister, and then there was a fellow classmate. Money really deserved to
have gone into seclusion from all the comparisons.
Wei Xiao: “What else?”
Mo Hui thought back. “His face was even more paralyzed than it is now,
but he was just as handsome back then. Many people chased after him…”
He spoke in general terms, saying that Lu Feng had basically been the
model child back then. He’d been excellent in all aspects; he always got top
grades, was good at sports, good at learning, good at following the rules,
and was polite and handsome.
The word ‘impeccable’ seemed to have been tailor-made for him.
Mo Hui felt a little sour as he spoke, “Tell me, is this still…”
He hadn’t finished saying the word ‘human’ when Wei Xiao interrupted
him, “Is that it?”
Mo Hui: “???”
The disappointment in Wei Xiao’s tone wasn’t fake. “I’ve been chatting
with you for three rounds, just for you to tell me things I already know?”
Mo Hui: “…………”
Wei Xiao went back over it in detail. “Excellence, top grades, being
capable, handsome… aren’t these all things that are well-known?”
Could his tone be anymore reasonable and righteous than it already was?
Mo Hui didn’t want to ask that out loud. He was afraid that Wei Xiao might
really be able to pull it off!
It just happened that they’d finished a game. Captain Mo decided to bail.

“Bye bye.”
Wei Xiao: “Ah…..”
Mo Hui: “I’m going to sleep.”
Wei Xiao: “???”
He’d been cheated by this ‘evil businessman’!
When Brother Cai came over to call him out for lunch, Wei Xiao was still
angry.
Lu Feng came downstairs as well and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Wei Xiao had originally intended to provoke Brother Cai to vent his anger,
but it all turned into grievances as soon as he saw his boyfriend. “Money
bullied me.”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao had nothing to feel embarrassed over in front of Brother Cai. He
went up and kissed the captain, “He lied to me and said that he had
exclusive information about you when you were a child. As a result, he only
said that you were good at learning, good at sports, good at everything, and
handsome… These are things that the whole world knows. I didn’t need
him to tell me that!”
Brother Cai: “Pfft…”
In the future, he would absolutely never drink water when Wei Xiao was
present!
Wei Xiao felt aggrieved to death. “I was cheated so miserably!” He was

extremely unhappy about having his expectations let down.
Lu Feng was amused and asked him, “What do you want to know?”
Wei Xiao thought about it. “For example, your first love, the first person
you liked. For example…”
Lu Feng: “In that case, you’ve asked the wrong person. Mo Hui wouldn’t
know.”
Wei Xiao filled up with vinegar. “So there really was a first love!”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
This time, Wei Xiao blew up completely. “This is, it’s also normal, there’s
no need… no need to tell me about it!”
Ahhhhh, who was it, who exactly was it? Was it a boy or a girl, were they
as handsome as he was? Were they better than he was? Did they love him as
much as he did!
Brother Cai was deeply unhappy. He tried to sneak out; he didn’t want to
become another Brother Soy and end up eating dog food.
However, he’d just made his way to the door and hadn’t yet had a chance to
close it when he heard the captain’s low voice that could turn anyone to
mush. “… They were all you.”
Regardless of whether it was his first love or the first person he liked, they
were all Wei Xiao.
Bai Cai: “………………”
I was wrong, I was wrong, I just want to be a person, and I don’t want to
have to eat this unique type of dog food!
Later on, Money sent over a small gift.
At first, Brother Cai thought it was something valuable and watched Wei
Xiao eagerly looking forward to seeing him open it up. If Brother Xiao
looked down on it, then he could take advantage and take it for himself.
Wei Xiao didn’t think too much of it and easily tore it open.
Bai Cai: “???”
Wei Xiao fell into a daze for ten full seconds.
There were three photos inside, and they seemed to have been taken from
different angles
The 14 year old showed the beginnings of the iceberg great demon king, but
his expression as he looked up inadvertently, as well as his handsome
features, still had the green and raw youthful spirit that was absolutely no
longer present now.
Close.
Close from high school!
Brother Cai sucked in a breath. “The captain was really handsome from
childhood growing up.”
Wei Xiao tensed up suddenly and looked warily at Bai Cai.
Brother Cai: “…… What?”
Wei Xiao: “You’re not allowed to look!”
Wei Xiao pressed the photos against his chest like they were treasures. “The
captain’s top secret private photos, only I can see them!”
If Bai Cai wasn’t so timid, he would really want to spit at him!
They were proper and serious photos, but why did they inexplicably seem
dirty when the words came out of Wei Xiao’s mouth!
Sure enough, Wei Xiao’s mouth was unable to spit out any normal
language!
In view of these three photos, Wei Xiao wrote off his original ‘complaint’
against Money and even soloed with Money until late at night prior to their
competition, playing with him until he was all fired up and in excellent
condition.
Lu Feng didn’t know about the photos. “Not angry anymore?”
Wei Xiao hadn’t shown Lu Feng the photos. On one hand, he didn’t want
him to have to recall the past. On the other hand, he himself was really
distressed.
He felt heartache for the Lu Feng who had to excel in everything, and he
felt even more heartache for the Lu Feng who still wasn’t acknowledged by
his parents…
Wei Xiao couldn’t bear to touch such a scar.
Wei Xiao: “After thinking about it carefully, Captain Mo can’t be blamed

for it. Who made you so excellent that he can only see you in such a good
light?”
He had to blow out rainbow farts every three sentences. The entire training
room was already numb to this phenomenon.
Lu Feng smiled as he sat down beside him, asking, “Go and watch the game
tomorrow?”
Tomorrow was the semi-finals game between RR and TPT.
It just happened that Wei Xiao had something to discuss with him.
“Captain, I plan to stay in the base and livestream.”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao blinked. “I’ll stream and provide live commentary for RR and
TPT’s game.”
Lu Feng: “Did Xiang Liu order it?”
Wei Xiao: “No, I applied for it on my own initiative. It’s not for the sake of
making up for stream time. It’s mostly for the fans.”
In any case, they had to plan for the long term.
If they wanted FTW to be ‘independent’, they had to be strong.
Fans were their foundation. Only by consolidating their foundation would

they be qualified to hold up FTW.
Wei Xiao was very conscientious.

Lu Feng vaguely understood what he was doing. His heart heated up
slightly, and he wanted to say something, but felt that anything he said
would be superfluous.
“Then, I’ll stay with you.”
Wei Xiao didn’t understand, “Ah?”
Lu Feng said evenly, “I’ll provide commentary with you in the live
broadcast tomorrow.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Brother Cai, who was across from them, saw through the truth at a glance––
Provide commentary for the game?
It was totally livestreaming their show of love!
Forget it, forget it, when it came to things like dog food, eating it alone
wasn’t as good as eating it with a crowd. It was really delicious when eaten
together in front of others!
xiin: chapter 200! we’re 2/3 of the way through the novel… wow.
Ch201.1 - Isn’t it fun to have a love
triangle?
The China competition zone’s 12th season second national semi-finals

officially began at 7PM!
Similar to the FTW and 3U games, the fans also crowded the venue for this
game, screaming out the names of their favorite star players.
RR Moonlit, RR Mo Hui, TPT Fu Li, TPT Eurostar…
All kinds of lights and fan merchandise were everywhere. RR’s team color
was dark blue, and TPT’s team color was orange red. One was a cold color
and the other a hot color, and they clearly divided up the venue!
Wei Xiao was a little fortunate in that he hadn’t gone to the scene… even if
he had entered from the backstage, it would’ve been super crowded!
He’d posted up a Weibo post two hours in advance, telling fans that he
would be holding a live broadcast session and commentating on the game.
The fans rushed to tell each other about it, commenting and forwarding it
tens of thousand times within minutes.
It wasn’t uncommon for professional players to provide live commentary on

the games between other teams. Some teams would even ask famous
players to come and commentate for them.
Live broadcasting was an important assessment index for the players, and
live broadcasting while commentating on a game was a better option
compared to streaming themselves eating and sleeping in order to fill their
broadcast quota.
Firstly, it enhanced the player’s reputation, and secondly, it provided more
interaction with the fans. Thirdly, it was a way of training and reviewing a
game… There were many advantages, and the clubs were always happy to
see it happen.
A Q fan quipped, “The finals are coming up soon. Does darling still have to
make up livestream time?”
Darling Wei didn’t know how he himself had become a Darling, but… it
didn’t matter. He even went and replied, “I filled my quota a long time ago,
this is just because I love you.”
The fans: “!!!” A comment thread was built up instantly, filled with shrill
chicken screaming.
Coincidentally, Close also forwarded this Weibo post, and his content was
as concise as ever, “Together.”
The fans had already been very excited, and they exploded on the spot once
they saw Close’s Weibo post.
“Together what?”
“It’s not what I think, is it? Is the great demon king going to commentate on
the game tonight?”
“Holy shit, fellow sisters, I don’t want to go to the arena anymore. Does
anyone want the tickets?”
“Fellow sister, wake up, wouldn’t it be great to watch the live broadcast on
your cell phone from the arena?”
“…… The previous poster is a fierce one.”
Lu Feng had been in the industry for many years, but he didn’t livestream
often, let alone provide commentary for a game.
As the head of the club, he was better off dealing with the affairs of the club
that piled up like a mountain when he had spare time.
What’s more, he didn’t speak much. How was this kind of silent character
suited to provide commentary?
The fans couldn’t imagine it.
But now…
“It’s all thanks to Quiet, thanks to Wei Xiaoxiao, thanks to the new
generation jungler king. You’ve created many miracles for us!”
“Yeah, Quiet must have spoken up and asked for Close. How else would he
come to explain the game?”
“I want to know how Quiet asked. Was it in bed… cough cough…”
“Hey fellow sister, let’s go talk to the side!”
The straight men on the other side: “Quiet and Close are commentating on a
game? One is a chatterbox and the other has a paralyzed face… it might
really be good.”
“It’s time to verify the truth about the rumors about the feud between the
twin junglers in FTW!”
The haters were also poised and ready to go. “Waiting to see them mess up.
Is being a commentator so easy? If you can’t highlight the key points, we’ll
be laughing so hard our teeth fall out.”
“Quiet’s only been in the business for a year, doesn’t he feel embarrassed
providing commentary for a competition? Who gave him that right?”
“Hahaha, it’s estimated that he’s just going to show his face. FTW’s nothing
but a bunch of little white faces anyway.”
The advantages of Wei Xiao acting wild in his daily life was revealed at this
point. He replied blatantly under Close’s Weibo post, “Memeda.”
The fans were used to it and even followed suit to ‘memeda’ with him.
Some sharp-eyed fans found a blind spot, “The great demon king liked Wei
Xiao’s reply!”
“What’s the fuss about? Isn’t it just a memeda…”
“Now! What Close liked was the reply that Wei Xiao gave to his fans.”
That’s right, what Lu Feng had liked was Wei Xiao’s reply to his fans, that
sentence ‘…it’s just because I love you.’
The fans figured it out. “Is he jealous!”
“Wuwuwuwu, the CP I ship is real, they’re really real!”
“Glory’s vinegar king, he has a well-deserved reputation.”
“Sitting and waiting for when Quiet can’t get out of bed.”
The fans never would’ve dreamed that the things they came up with in their
brains would come true.
Wei Xiao’s scalp tensed up, and he wanted to delete the comment.
He hovered over the delete button and paused.
He couldn’t delete it. If he deleted it, then it would be like a confirmation.
There was no other way; Wei Xiao could only go to the captain and act
spoiled in order to coax the vinegar king.
Wei Xiao opened up the live broadcast studio five minutes ahead of time.
He was just chatting with his fans when he received a call from Lu Feng.
“Captain~”
The scrolling comments: “Why does his call of ‘captain’ sound so sweet!”
“’Kay.”
The scrolling comments: “What a well-behaved tone, he really is a
darling!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay, I’ll wait for you~”
The scrolling comments: “These two are really sweet. Even if it’s just a
touching brotherhood, their feelings are enough to kill people.”
After hanging up the phone, Wei Xiao explained the situation to the fans,
“Something suddenly came up for the captain, so he’ll come later.”
Close’s dedicated fans were disappointed and started cursing and crying in
the scrolling comments.
Wei Xiao blocked those who cursed and coaxed the crying ones, “The
captain will come in a bit, we’ll wait for him together. Be good.”
This ‘be good’ shocked the ears of thousands of girls, and they cried even
more fiercely. They wanted God Q to keep coaxing them.
The door opened, and Bai Cai came in.
The camera didn’t show who was coming in. The audience in the scrolling
comments asked who it was one after another, excitedly thinking that Close
had returned quickly.
Wei Xiao turned around and saw that it was Brother Cai.
Bai Cai used his mouth to shape the words: Is the live broadcast on?
Wei Xiao: “Brother Cai, come join me?”
Bai Cai got it. He immediately put on his appearance as FTW’s simple little
wife, looking polite as he said, “The captain said that he’ll come later, so he
asked me to come accompany you for the live broadcast for a while.”
Even if Wei Xiao had seen it many times, he still couldn’t stand Bai
Caicai’s current fake appearance. “Okay.” His teeth hurt, and he didn’t want
to say much.
The audience in the scrolling comments were a little disappointed when
they heard Bai Cai’s voice, but they soon grew energetic again.
“First comes the little wife, then the great demon king. Isn’t it fun to have a
love triangle?”
“Yes, yes, the jungler king’s little wife, the little wife’s great demon king,
the great demon king’s jungler king, perfect!”
“Mixing things up is the best way! Fellow sisters, charge!”
Some straight men couldn’t watch on anymore. “Can you guys stop
shipping CPs? This is a game commentary broadcast.”
As soon as this sentence popped out, it was immediately pressed to the

bottom by thousands of other scrolling comments and didn’t even leave a
ripple.
A player’s personal life broadcast room was much smaller than the official
one. It was intended for entertainment and would be boring if it was too
serious, so the room managers didn’t interfere too much.
After Bai Cai sat down, the player interviews began on the screen.
Moonlit always had dead fish eyes and would reply with just a single
sentence for every sentence he was asked. He’d basically stopped short of
having the words ‘this big daddy doesn’t want to talk’ written on his face.
Money was in a good state, talking and laughing with the host.
TPT’s Eurostar-star smiled, eliciting screams from the audience.
Eurostar was born with a baby face and looked just as young as Yue Wenle,
but his personality was livelier than God Le’s. He had curved crescent eyes
and a pair of tiger teeth, and he was able to make others feel extra heartache
for him when he smiled.
Fu Li wore a pair of gold rimmed glasses, and his TPT uniform was neat
and tidy. His temperament was more like that of a coach than a player, and
he did actually take on some of a coach’s duties…
Wei Xiao introduced each contestant in a light tone as they stepped up onto
the stage.
If he was going to do it, then he would do it professionally. As a retired

student from a Normal University with a score of 985, Wei Xiao was very
good with Mandarin and very smooth with his words.
Brother Cai had been partnered with him for many years. One of them
cracked jokes while the other provided support, inspiring the fans to start
sending out gifts even before they’d officially started providing
commentary.
They asked about gossip topics as they sent out gifts.
“Grandmaster, grandmaster! Who do you think is more powerful, Moonlit

or Eurostar?”
Wei Xiao: “Moonlit is a bit more powerful.”
Some of the TPT fans were immediately dissatisfied, even wanting to make
trouble.
Wei Xiao’s next sentence was, “Back then when I was an accompanying
player, Little Moon-moon booked me for three more games than Little Star-
star.”
Fans: “???”
Wei Xiao tilted his head and asked Brother Cai, “I didn’t remember wrong,
right?”
Brother Cai: “Moon God played 352 games, and Star God played 349.”
The fans got it. So when you say that Moonlit is a bit more powerful, this is
the unit of measurement that you’re using?
You hammered Moonlit three extra times, so he’s more powerful?

The fans were left speechless, but they had no way to refute it.
What was there to refute? That scrolling comment was obviously a trap, and
it could only be said that Wei Xiao had smoothed things out beautifully.
Of course, the scrolling comments wouldn’t let him off just like this.
“Grandmaster, I heard that Eurostar switched lanes because you beat him up
until he got scared?”
In the past, Eurostar had played in the top-laner position, but now he’d
switched to the bottom lane.
This was another trap question. What did they mean by beating him up until
he got scared?
It was true that that was what had happened, but it was obvious that this
question was being asked for the sake of looking for trouble.
If it was just a casual question, then it could be overlooked. But they’d also
sent gifts with it, and that bright scrolling comment frame couldn’t be
ignored.
Wei Xiao glanced at it and didn’t shy away. “Isn’t his marksman good?”
This rebounded the question back into that person’s face.
Why are you concerned about why he changed lanes?
So what if he was beaten up until he was scared, Eurostar’s current

achievements were solid.
Ch201.2 - This the real reason why
Brother Cai got a glass of
watermelon juice?
Eurostar wasn’t like Moonlit and Asleep. He hadn’t been popular as soon as
he made his debut.
At the start of that year, he’d basically been scolded to death directly when
he went to the top lane. It was thanks to his toughness that he didn’t
collapse from the scolding. Instead, he’d gone to find Bai Cai in order to
seek a breakthrough.
Brother Cai wouldn’t refuse anyone who came; it was fine as long as they
gave money. He’d originally thought that this crybaby Eurostar would back
down after only two games, but unexpectedly, he’d continued on for 100
games.
Seeing as his win rate was as low as 5%, Wei Xiao couldn’t bear it anymore
and gave this duped star some advice, “Do you have to play in the top
lane?”
Eurostar was stunned.
Wei Xiao: “Glory isn’t only limited to the top lane. Or is it that you only
like warriors?”
Eurostar paused, then said, “The team only has a top-lane position.”
Wei Xiao: “That’s not how it works, right? Forcing yourself to play on a
lane you’re not good at, isn’t that even more disappointing for the person
who signed you to the team?”
In e-sports, being crappy was the original sin, and the rest was nonsense.
The team only has a top-laner position, so you insist on playing in the top-
laner position you’re not good at?
Eurostar was obviously not like a certain all-rounder king.
Him acting like this wasn’t only making a joke out of himself, he was also
making a joke out of the whole team.
Admittedly, newcomers who had just joined the professional circle would
all make compromises and force themselves to do more, but results were
the fundamental requirement for everything.
If he couldn’t achieve results, then he would just drag everyone down.
If he didn’t stand up bravely and give it a try, how would he know that it
wasn’t possible?
After going into seclusion for two days, Eurostar went to find Wei Xiao
again. “Can you accompany me to practice marksman?”
Bai Cai answered, “Just pay money.”
He was afraid that Wei Xiao might get too excited and not even ask for
money.
Wei Xiao: “Anything’s fine.” Everything was good as long as he could

play!
After another 100 games, Eurostar’s win rate rose to 40% from 5%. He was
almost even with Wei Xiao.
Of course, if Wei Xiao used the thief, Eurostar’s win rate would instantly
drop back down to 20%.
But this level of progress was already impressive enough.

Eurostar summoned up his courage and went to apply for a change in
positions with his club.
He’d originally thought that he’d be rejected, but the club was stunned for a
short moment before saying, “What a coincidence, Lu Shou also wants to
switch lanes…”
Lu Shou was TPT ADC at the time, and his play style had always been
steady. It wasn’t good, but it didn’t drag anyone down.
Eurostar hadn’t expected that he wouldn’t want to play ADC anymore.
The coaching staff called the two of them over directly and asked them
about it in detail.
Eurostar and Lu Shou both looked at each other, “You actually want to play
top-lane (ADC)!”
At this moment, both of them grimaced and cried.
cried – reference to their team name TPT
If they’d known earlier, they wouldn’t have been forced into these
positions.
It was also from this moment that the revolutionary friendship between the
TPT’s top-laner and bottom lane was established. Even though they were
the furthest away from each other in the canyon, they were filled with
energy as long as they looked at each other!
––They had to live up to the position that they’d been given!
Of course, these things certainly couldn’t be said in the live broadcast room,
but Wei Xiao and Bai Cai both reminisced about it on their own for a while.
Be brave and step up. There may be surprises waiting everywhere.
After chatting for a while, the first game began.

Moonlit was unable to get the immortal warlock, but he got an equally
powerful assassin mage––the spirit mage.
Who knew if it was a leftover effect from his solo with Wei Xiao yesterday
or if it was because it was the first game of the semi-finals, but Moonlit
suppressed Fu Li back under the tower right at the start of the game.
The spirit mage was a talent that wasn’t very fierce at the start of the game.
Especially when it still didn’t have its ultimate move, all of its damage was
directed towards a single target, and even clearing out the lane soldiers was
difficult.
But Moonlit didn’t even think of clearing his lane soldiers right from the
start. He focused on Fu Li, and as soon as the demonic mage showed his
head, he rushed over with his first and second skill combo, linking up his
controls to beat him up and clearing out half his health. He only went back
to slowly clear out his lane soldiers after Fu Li was forced to withdraw.
Wei Xiao: “The conventional way to play the spirit mage is to absolutely
not cower at the start. If you can hit a player, then don’t hit the soldiers.
Going under the other side’s tower to force a kill with your own life is still
better than hiding beneath your own tower.”
Seeming to confirm his statement, Moonlit used another small combo as

soon as the next wave of lane soldiers arrived and hammered Fu Li like
crazy.
The demonic mage was squishy and had limited movement ability. He
couldn’t stand this kind of damage and had to use his flash. Unexpectedly,
Moonlit used flash followed by his first skill and charged beneath the tower
to kill Fu Li!
RR took First Blood.
Although Moonlit died as well, he’d still earned first blood while ruthlessly
suppressing Fu Li.
The scrolling comments cheered one after another, “Badass, Moonlit!”

“Today is the battle for the number one mid-laner in China!”
“At present, Moonlit is dominating!”
“Sure enough, a spearhead will conquer steadiness. Captain Fu’s very

aggrieved.”
“Don’t panic. The grimacing crying team always cries first, then laughs at
the end.”
The scrolling comments began to ask tricky questions again, “Grandmaster,

who do you think is stronger, Moon God or God Li?”
Wei Xiao was very calm. “Little Moon’s immortal warlock is very strong,
and Captain Fu’s ability to plan is invincible.”
Pulling him into a trap?
Impossible.
Brother Xiao was more than up to the task.
RR’s fierce start seemed to make the game very difficult for TPT.
After First Blood broke out in the mid lane, the two sides played stably for
a period of time. It was mainly TPT avoiding fights as they strove to
develop.
Wei Xiao’s commentary was very steady. He didn’t run his mouth and
didn’t make any quips. He analyzed the situation seriously.
Until someone tried to make trouble again. This person even sent out three
sets of 666 rockets just to ask Wei Xiao a question, “God Q, between RR
and TPT, which team do you want to meet in the finals?
In other words, which team do you want to win? Which team were you
afraid of? What are your thoughts when you watch the game?
In fact, everyone was curious about this, but they felt embarrassed asking.
Now that this person had spoken up and sent out so many gifts, Wei Xiao
couldn’t act as though he hadn’t seen the question.
Brother Cai stared at this scrolling comment, glancing at Wei Xiao out of
the corner of his eye.
Wei Xiao’s expression remained unchanged as he said evenly, “It doesn’t

matter.”
The scrolling comments weren’t happy with an answer like this. They
continued asking, “It doesn’t matter who wins?”
Wei Xiao was very zen. “Regardless of whether it’s RR or TPT, they’ve all
been defeated by FTW before. It doesn’t matter who enters the finals, since
the champion will be FTW.”
The scrolling comments: “!!!”
There was also a series of: “……………”
And: “Hahahahahahaha really worthy of being you.”
Wei Xiao asked them innocently, “Did I say something wrong?”
The one picking a fight: “……”
The haters: “……”
Those who wanted to watch as much excitement as possible “……”
The fans yelled, “Whatever you say is right! You’re so handsome, whatever
you say is right!”
Wei Xiao’s shamelessness was also absolute. “Ho, I’m not that handsome,
I’m a little worse than my captain.”
The fans were laughing so hard they were all rolling all over the live
broadcast room!
Brother Cai was also impressed.
When it came to his public relations (irritating haters) ability, Wei Xiao was
really gifted!
The first game ended. RR had scored one point.
RR’s fans screamed one after another, acting so excited that it was like
they’d already won the semi-finals and made it to the finals.
The TPT fans didn’t start crying, either. As fans of the grimacing crying
team, they’d already prepared their quick-acting heart-saving pills and were
very zen.
There was no helping it…
TPT was famous for its slow warm up. It was normal for them to catch up
in a reverse sweep after losing one game. Winning three in a row after
losing two was also unsurprising.
So what if they lost one match? As long as they didn’t lose three in a row,
they would still be able to hold on!
The BP for the second game began just as the door behind Wei Xiao
opened.
The fans had sharp ears. Although they couldn’t see him, they’d already
started getting excited. “Close is back?”
“Quickly let me see my husband, I miss him!”
“Husband, husband, I love you!”
This time, it was really Lu Feng. Lu Feng was holding two glasses of
watermelon juice as he looked at Bai Cai.
Brother Cai immediately got up from his seat. The scrolling comments
laughed at him. “My little wife has already become a little eunuch. What
have you experienced, Brother Cai?!”
Bai Cai glanced at the scrolling comments out of the corner of his eye and
complained in his heart, “I’ve gone through tons of dog food!”
Lu Feng gave Bai Cai one of the drinks.
Bai Cai didn’t dare to accept it and quickly said, “I don’t want it, I don’t
want it.”
Lu Feng: “Take it.”
Bai Cai: “…… Okay.”
This scene was captured on camera, causing the fans to scream shrilly
again, “The great demon king is doting on his little wife!”
“Yingyingying, I want to drink watermelon juice, too!”
“Brother Cai, let’s fight! I’m your 10086th love rival!”
Bai Cai didn’t dare to look at the scrolling comments anymore and just
wanted to run away, but he was still half a step too slow.
Wei Xiao had also accepted the watermelon juice. He drank a sip of it. “It’s
so sweet!”
Lu Feng: “Is it?”
Wei Xiao: “You try it.”
Lu Feng drank a sip from the juice in his hand. “Mm.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved. “Isn’t it sweet?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
The scrolling comments exploded!
“Holy shit! So is this the real reason why Brother Cai got a glass of
watermelon juice?!”
“Two glasses of watermelon juice, one for Brother Cai so that Close could
only drink from Quiet’s glass?”
“So sweet, I’ve been killed across the screen by this scene!”
“What’s going on between men and men now? Can’t they leave us with a
way to live? Wow!”
Wei Xiao glanced at the camera and grinned as he made an introduction.

“Hello everyone, this is my captain.”
The scrolling comments: “……….. To hell with your introduction, who

doesn’t recognize Close?!”
Wei Xiao was very energetic. “He’ll now be my partner as we provide

commentary on the game together.”
The scrolling comments were filled with ‘nonsense, nonsense, hurry up and
let the great demon king speak’.
Then, they saw Lu Feng curve his lips in a smile. “Hello, everyone.”
The scrolling comments: “!!!”
Damn it.
They’d been able to see Close smile in this lifetime and could now die
without any regrets!
After that, they learned more about what it meant to be the great demon
king.
It was no wonder the game officials never invited Close to be a guest in the
commentator booth. It was no wonder that the commentators all replied
with a wry smile and shook their heads, saying that they didn’t want to
partner with Close for commentary.
It wasn’t that he was like an iceberg or that he didn’t speak, and it wasn’t
that he couldn’t pick up the thread of the conversation.
It was that he…
He was as prophetic as a god!

Ch202.1 - Quiet, rest for a bit. Give
my Close a chance to talk, okay?
At this time, the audience in the live broadcast studio still didn’t know what
they were about to experience. They were excitedly shipping their CP, so
dizzy and oblivious with happiness that they had even scared away a group
of straight men––naturally, these people eventually came back in a hurry in
order to see the prophecy emperor.
The BP segment for the second match ended in the time when they were
drinking watermelon juice, and both sides entered the game.
In this match, Moonlit was still playing an assassin mage talent. He’d
gotten the blade mage.
From its name, it was clear that it was a close combat talent.
The blade mage dealt magic attacks, but its weapon was a sharp dagger. It
had a rare set of three movement skills that allowed it to burst in and
harvest a sudden kill. While it was a mage position, it could be just as fierce
as an assassin.
Fu Li had chosen a very unpopular mage talent––the poison mage.
The poison mage was strong, but it now resided amongst the benched
talents and hadn’t been seen in the arena for many years.
The commentators were surprised when they saw this talent, and concern
for TPT was expressed both implicitly and explicitly in their words.
At first glance, the poison mage seemed very strong. Its skills were mainly
focused on poison attacks that could break through defense and deal
sustained damage. Its ultimate move, poison swamp, was an AOE skill with
a wide range.
So why didn’t professional players use such an amazing mage talent?
It was because it had limited adaptability, and its continuous damage could
be avoided. The defense reduction wasn’t useful against squishy c-
positions, and poison swamp had a wide range that dealtt no damage against
targets that weren’t locked in place.
As a talent that didn’t have any control skills, dealt unstable DPS, and
didn’t have any other functions, it wasn’t strange for it to remain benched.
Wei Xiao also frowned when he looked at the poison mage. “Is TPT trying
out a new routine?” He wasn’t one to look down on Fu Li.
The audience couldn’t hear what he’d said, but Wei Xiao heard it. His eyes
opened wide. “Is that so?”
Lu Feng nodded.
The scrolling comments were curious enough to die. “What did the great
demon king say!”
“Why did he only say it to Quiet? I want to have Close whisper into my ear
too!”
“Where are the masters of lip reading? Please come and translate it
quickly.”
There weren’t any lip reading masters, but there were a bunch of lip reading
guessers.
“I think the great demon king said ‘I love you’.”
“Nonsense, it’s clearly ‘little darling’.”

“Nonono, my husband would only confess to me, so he must have said ‘I
love Little Fei!’”
The scrolling comments became the scene of multiple rounds of guesses.
Wei Xiao smiled like a fox. “I’ll tell you guys what he said after the game.”
“Why is he going to keep us guessing? Is it because we haven’t sent out

enough gifts?” 888 rockets flew across the screen.
Wei Xiao said, “It won’t be fun if I say it now, believe me. The answer will
be revealed when the game is over!”
Alright then, Wei Xiao was very good at playing this game and really had a
godly ability to whet people’s appetites.
When RR and TPT played against each other, the mid-lane was the place
that attracted everyone’s attention.
Moonlit and Fu Li’s battle was something that more than 70% of the
audience was looking forward to.
In this game, Fu Li changed his style from the first match’s careful
steadiness and pushed towards the front. The poison mage’s demonic gas
bombs were tossed out everywhere, perfectly limiting the blade mage’s
positioning.
The scrolling comments sensed something. “This poison mage restrains

Moonlit quite a bit.”
“So an assassin mage in the mid-lane fears the poison mage?”
“I’ve learned something! Fu Li’s really worthy of being Glory’s Learning

God. He really has a lot of tricks!”
Once Moonlit was suppressed, RR’s situation in the game would become
more precarious.
Mo Hui came to the middle lane to gank, but Fu Li was very careful. He
used his demonic gas bombs to probe the bushes and exposed Mo Hui,
avoiding a wave of fighting.
During the first ten minutes of the match, Lu Feng didn’t speak much at all.
Wei Xiao was already used to it. The captain didn’t like to speak, but he
could chatter enough for both of them on his own.
But the fans weren’t happy. “Quiet, rest for a bit. Give my Close a chance to
talk, okay?”
Wei Xiao noticed this scrolling comment and ignored it.
The fans persevered. “I’m here to see two people’s live broadcast, not here
to listen to your monologue!”
Wei Xiao continued to ignore it.
The fans continued to kick up a fuss. “In the past, I really didn’t find Quiet
so boring, but it’s really boring when you hear too much of him.”
Lu Feng’s eyebrows raised up slightly.
Someone caught this detail. “The great demon king’s angry. Where did this
fool come from? The room managers should quickly shove him out with a
pitchfork.”
Wei Xiao’s fans also started to quarrel, “Get lost if you find it annoying.
Take a good look, this is Quiet’s live broadcast room!”
Seeing that the scrolling comments weren’t harmonious anymore, Lu Feng

suddenly opened his mouth, “Moonlit shouldn’t have gone up for this
round.”
Everyone, including Wei Xiao, was stunned as soon as he opened his

mouth.
His voice was magnetic, his tone gentle, The quality of this sound travelled
through the microphone all the way to the bottom of countless people’s
hearts.
The scrolling comments suddenly went crazy, and the content of their
comments were enough to make outsiders think that they’d mistakenly
entered some idol’s live broadcast room…
Wei Xiao inevitably experienced a round of vinegar––what the hell are you
calling husband for, he’s mine!
Unfortunately, these words couldn’t be said in public.
The female fans didn’t pay attention to what Lu Feng had said and only
focused on the sound of his voice.
The male audience did pay attention. They commented, “Why shouldn’t he
have gone up? The commentators said that Moonlit had grasped this
opportunity well.”
Then, the scrolling comments were hit in the face just after they’d spoken.
RR sent out two kills, explosively giving TPT a wave of fertilizer.
The commentators changed their tune. “It’s a bit unfortunate. The timing
was good, though…”
Just now, RR and TPT had started fighting in the river. Moonlit had locked
in on the poison mage and moved in, using his dagger with a movement
skill to arrive right in front of Fu Li’s face.
The commentator had immediately said, “Beautiful! Moonlit’s wave of

actions here is very stable, the poison mage is going to be sent home…”
He hadn’t yet finished his words when Lu Feng had said, “… Moonlit
shouldn’t have gone up.”
It was the same scene, but Lu Feng and the commentator had given
different evaluations.
Who was right and who was wrong would soon be made clear.
Moonlit had indeed managed to stab Fu Li. Unfortunately, the poison mage
was standing within the effect of his demonic gas bomb and resisted most
of the damage. At the same time, he turned back and laid out his poison
swamp. After Moonlit landed on the ground, his body became eroded by
the poison gas, and his health fell continuously.
That alone wasn’t enough to kill Moonlit. He had multiple movement skills
and could leave a poison swamp that had no ability to keep him in place.
Unfortunately, Fu Li had calculated it very well, and when the swamp
spread out far enough to reach the ancient creature, it was aggroed and
roared. The dragon’s roar affected the ground like an earthquake, and all
creatures within range would be dazed for 0.5 seconds.
Fu Li stood in his own poison swamp and received no damage, but Moonlit
missed his chance to escape the poison swamp due to this short 0.5 seconds
of control.
TPT.Auroral killed RR.Moonlit!
After Fu Li killed Moonlit, RR’s support also followed him back home.
He’d originally intended to come and support Moonlit so that they could
fight back after he left the poison swamp, but unexpectedly, Moonlit had
died just like that!
He turned around and ran. Reasonably speaking, Fu Li shouldn’t have been

able to get to him, but unfortunately, Eurostar had also come over to
provide support. One ice arrow shot over, so accurately that it made
people’s scalps go numb, and helped RR’s support back to his home
fountain after he was controlled to death.
RR used these two kills to tell everyone that Lu Feng’s words weren’t
wrong at all.
They shouldn’t have gone up.

Moonlit really shouldn’t have gone up to fight.
The scrolling comments, who only realized what had happened after the
fact, were shocked. “Nothing happens when the great demon king doesn’t
speak, but as soon as he does, it’s a godly prophecy.”
“If Close didn’t have this game awareness, how would he deserve the title
of number one in the world?”
“It’s just a blind cat running into a dead mouse. Don’t exaggerate it.”
“If Close really has this so-called godly prophecy, then why are FTW’s
team fights so terrible?”
If it was said that Wei Xiao made use of his intelligence and wit to
antagonize the haters, then Lu Feng directly used his strength to face the
flamers in the scrolling comments.
A blind cat running into a dead mouse?
Then there were really too many dead mice.
Close didn’t deserve to have this godly prophetic power?
I’m sorry, but the development route for this match had already been laid
out by the great demon king.
At first, Wei Xiao just felt that it was super cool!
Oh hey, it was too cool. This clean and crisp face slapping that made the
flamers’ faces swell up so much that they didn’t dare to speak up; it made
him feel great.
Later on, he was just as thrilled and surprised as the scrolling comments.
Lu Feng didn’t say much, but his few comments repeatedly hit the key
points spot on.
––Moonlit was being reckless.

There was no need to think about it; Moon God died. The only difference
was in who’d gotten the kill.
––Eurostar should’ve gone up.
There was no need to think about it; Eurostar missed out on two kills,
making people want to grasp their own wrists in disappointment.
––RR’s support was one step too slow.
Good heavens, Mo Hui, who’d just managed to escape with a sliver of his
health, died from poison.
––TPT’s going for the dragon.
Three seconds after his voice fell, the ancient creature was awakened…
20 minutes later, the scrolling comments were filled with exclamation

marks.
“Am I watching the game live?”
“How come it’s so much like a post-game replay?”
“What’s going on with this style of commentary where everything’s been

seen through?”
“If it wasn’t for the camera, I”d suspect that the great demon king was at the
scene!” There was a small delay between the live situation and the live
broadcast, which was just in line with the time difference for his advanced
judgements.
However, the camera was very stable. Both people were in the shot, and the
training room could be seen behind them. It couldn’t be faked.
But there were others who weren’t satisfied. “Even senior commentators
can’t discern situations like this. I don’t believe that Lu Feng can see it so
clearly!”
“Luck, it’s luck! It’s definitely just a coincidence!”
“The success rate of these coincidences is a bit high…”
“Such good luck is even scarier than godly prophecy, okay.”
The second match progressed to 35 minutes. Lu Feng dropped his gaze and
asked Wei Xiao, “There are snacks downstairs, do you want to eat some?”
Wei Xiao was still staring at the game. “Wait until the game ends…” He
blinked as he spoke, then looked at the captain. “So you mean to say, the
game is coming to an end?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao exclaimed, “RR really lost!”
His voice had just fallen when TPT’s support used an acceleration buff. The
five TPT players moved like a gust of wind and rushed at the five RR
players who were gathered in the middle lane. The poison swamp covered
the river, and RR was destroyed after a wave of explosive DPS from TPT’s
frost hunter.
TPT drew even with RR at 1:1!
xiin: happy 5.20~

Ch202.2 - Quiet! Quickly block
your captain’s mouth!
The scrolling comments were convinced. Utterly convinced.
Even without mentioning the fans who liked to boast about Close, even
passerby watchers were blowing out rainbow farts.
Someone also thought about what had happened earlier and asked Wei
Xiao, “The second match is over, Quiet, quickly tell us what Close said at
the start!”
When the game just started, Lu Feng had whispered something to Wei Xiao.
There were still people waiting to know what it was, hey.
Wei Xiao: “I said it just now.”
The audience was confused: “???”
Wei Xiao repeated his own words, “RR really lost.”
The fans in the live broadcast were confused for a while, and then the
screen filled with ‘holy shit’!
What else couldn’t be understood?
At the start of the match, the sentence Lu Feng had said to Wei Xiao was––
It would be very difficult for RR to win.
The game hadn’t yet started, and only the line-up had been determined
when Lu Feng gave this evaluation. Wei Xiao was afraid that he’d end up
slapping himself in the face, so he hadn’t said it out loud.
Now that RR had lost this match, there wasn’t anything to hide.
The scrolling comments were howling like wolves and crying like ghosts.
“I reject this seeing through everything commentary style, this is no kind of
game watching experience!”
“This match doesn’t count! I f*cking feel like a recluse watching it!”
“Seriously, I don’t even know how RR and TPT played in this game. I spent
the whole time listening to the great demon king’s predictions and waiting
for him to mess up.”
“Can I ask if the great demon king messed up?”
“Like hell he messed up! Laozi’s mental state has collapsed!”
Some fans went back over past events. “To be fair, Close didn’t really want
to speak up at first, but there were some idiots who insisted that he talk?!”
“They even said that Quiet spoke too much and disdained him for being
annoying. Don’t you feel great now?”
“Fellow sister, be careful. Your train of thought is pretty good.”
“Isn’t that how it went? The great prophet remained silent for the first ten
minutes, but after the flamers started hating on Quiet, the seeing through
everything commentary style came into being. Don’t you guys have a sense
of what really happened in your hearts?”
“!!!”
“Is he really so indulgent!”
“Is our Quiet not worth it?”
“Worth it, worth it, but the problem is…”
“What do you mean, problem? Are you doubting our great demon king’s
abilities?”
“………………”
Don’t ask, if you ask, then it was the CP fans having fun shipping and
enjoying so much sugar that they’d spiralled up to the sky.
Wei Xiao liked watching these scrolling comments. Unfortunately, there

wasn’t a little like button function, otherwise he’d be clicking it until his
hands went soft.
There were some haters who were still unconvinced. They always felt that it
was just a luck bonus and refused to accept that Close was really so
amazing even if they were beaten to death.
Wei Xiao happily ate his snacks and spoke even less––
Since you guys are happy watching this seeing through everything
commentary, then he’d let them all be fully satisfied.
When the third game started, Lu Feng became even more ‘excessive’.
His godly prophecies came into effect starting from the BP segment.
RR took the death knight. Lu Feng: “Storm hunter and spirit mage.”
TPT really locked in these two talents!
It was RR’s turn after that. Lu Feng: “Giant shaman.”
RR locked it in.
Lu Feng: “Butterfly warlock.”
It wasn’t just the scrolling comments, even Wei Xiao was surprised.
“This…”
The audience in the scrolling comments helped him finish his words, “Is the
great demon king holding the script for this game!”
“This is too terrible. It’s making me suspect that I’ve already gone blind
even though I’m seeing it with my own eyes!”
The scrolling comments were filled with questions asking how it was done.
Lu Feng ignored them all until Wei Xiao blinked and asked, “How are you
so accurate?”
Only then did Lu Feng explain it to him slowly, “The giant shaman and
butterfly warlock is RR’s most recent fixed combination. It was specially
prepared in order to target the storm hunter…”
He spoke every word and sentence for Wei Xiao to listen to, but the
livestream was also able to hear and understand it clearly.
All the questioning voices disappeared.
How was this a godly prophecy or a godly prejudgement? This was all
based on having done enough homework!
Line-ups, routines, player characteristics, team cooperation playstyles,

coaching habits…
All of these things had to be understood thoroughly in order to infer the

talent selections based off of the ban positions, then deduce the next talent
that would be selected based on the pre-selected talents.
What appeared to be a mysterious ability was actually based on thoroughly

logical and careful reasoning.
The third game continued into the 20th minute, and the scrolling comments
started begging for mercy.
“Quiet! Quickly block your captain’s mouth!”
“You can use any sort of method. I can’t take any more of this seeing
through everything commentary!”
“I admit that Close’s voice sounds good, but… Can you please quietly eat
some snacks?”
“Yes, yes, yes. Quiet, quickly feed your captain a walnut crisp. He must be
hungry!”
Wei Xiao was very calm. “My captain doesn’t like eating sweet things.”
The scrolling comments: “Nonsense. Watermelon juice is so sweet, but he

drank half of it!”
The corner of Wei Xiao’s mouth curved up. “That’s not the same.”
The audience was clear about this too; the sweetness of juice wasn’t the
same as dessert, but they still had to act bratty with their words. “How is it
different? Is it because you two kissed indirectly?”
Wei Xiao was satisfied: You guys are clever. But his words were still
putting on an act, “How can juice and dessert be the same!”
This ‘anchor’ and audience had really mixed up reality and lies until they
were all left in a state of silliness, unable to tell anything apart.
Wei Xiao really went to feed Lu Feng a biscuit that wasn’t too sweet. Lu
Feng quietly ate it and ‘let off’ the audience in the live broadcast room.
In the third match, TPT really went in guns blazing. They pressured RR
right from the start and didn’t give Moonlit any chance to breathe.
TPT’s fans all said that the grimacing crying team warmed up slowly, but
that wasn’t actually the case.
This was one of Fu Li’s old problems. He would test the waters and do
some training in the first game. If they won, then they had really earned
something, and they didn’t make a loss if they lost.
They only started playing seriously from the second game. Their routines,
strategy, awareness, and grasp of the overall situation was all extremely
strong. This feeling was weakened for the audience watching from the
god’s perspective, but this feeling of decisiveness could be felt deeply in the
canyon.
Even if the great prophet didn’t speak, the audience could see that for this
third game… RR had gone astray.
Wei Xiao also found it regrettable. “Not good.”
He changed angles and watched Mo Hui as he played his jungler.
Mo Hui had taken the death knight in this game.
Using the death knight to play the jungler position was a conventional
choice. Money was pretty good with it, and he’d provided support at key
points several times. Unfortunately, Fu Li had already seen through him and
would either avoid fighting him or counter attack him, making it so that RR
couldn’t gain the slightest advantage.
The gap in their farm was widening and was getting close to a 4000 gold
difference.
At the end of the day, Wei Xiao was a little biased––and those three photos
had played a role in that.
He didn’t want Mo Hui to lose like this.
Try a little harder.
Don’t you want to let your family see?
Wei Xiao spoke these words in his heart.
Lu Feng noticed his abnormality, but he didn’t ask him more about it since
they were streaming. He only said quietly, “RR isn’t weak in the late stage.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up. “They still have hope?”
Lu Feng: “It’ll depend on the death knight.”
Wei Xiao’s heart rose up again.

Previously, there were many things Wei Xiao hadn’t said when he chatted
with Mo Hui.
To Wei Xiao, Money’s troubles were something to be envious of with the

word ‘ENVY’ spelt out in capital letters.
He had loving parents, a warm family, and no need to worry about clothing
and food. For Mo Hui the only difficult thing was trying to prove himself.
The well-fed don’t know how the starving suffered. Wei Xiao didn’t even
know what a family was.
Mo Hui was immersed in his own pain and felt that he would have to leave
the professional arena if he lost this game.
But what Wei Xiao could see were expectations.
––The expectations that Mo Hui’s parents had of him.
Whether he was serious or not was something that the people who knew
him best understood the most.
Mo Hui wasn’t trying his best, so his parents felt that he’d played enough
and that it was time to go home.
If Mo Hui could let them see him struggling and doing his best, then his
parents wouldn’t force him to go back.
Wei Xiao was really envious of such a family.
The game dragged on for 31 minutes, and the audience in the live broadcast
room had already started chanting, “RR’s done for. As expected, as long as
they target Moonlit, this team isn’t even as good as a fart.”
“Money, quickly go and retire. If they changed to a different jungler, then

RR would’ve risen up a long time ago.”
“Shut up! How would there be today’s RR without Captain Mo!”

“Haha, money is the master. If he has the ability, then spend money to buy a
global championship!”
“Mo Hui’s personal strength is very good, okay?”
“Where’s his strength? He’s already been nicknamed Mo Useless this

season, okay?”
Mo Useless was really ‘useless’.
RR’s second towers had all fallen, and their farm was now 6000 behind
TPT. When faced with TPT crazily forcing team fights in the mid-lane, it
was unknown what had happened in RR’s team chat, but the five people
who should’ve retreated back to their base to protect their homes all rushed
out!
The death knight took the lead on his horse, attacking with his heavy form
and accurately sending the storm hunter flying.
Eurostar was shocked and quickly started stepping on raindrops to avoid the
death knight’s punishment. However, Mo Hui didn’t slow down at all. After
switching to his light form, his three dogs jumped up and rushed at Eurostar
while he was in mid-air. He stabbed again twice, and all of his damage
landed on Eurostar.
RR.Money killed TPT.Star!
At this moment, the entire arena was boiling with excitement.
Mo Hui killed Eurostar, and RR managed to turn back the tables from the
edge of death!
TPT tried to retreat after losing Eurostar’s major DPS. Unfortunately, RR’s
giant shaman used flash to rush up, and Moonlit danced out a full wave of
butterflies, dealing explosive damage.
A wave of sudden death.

RR won the third match!
The camera focused on Mo Hui, who was the main reason for the win.
The death knight had fallen to the ground, but the word ‘Victory’ on the
screen entered the youth’s eyes.
At this moment, there was no longer the rich second generation who’d
come here just to have fun.
There was only RR’s captain––Mo Hui.

Ch203.1 - Let’s bet. Laozi bets
three million betting coins that RR
will win!”
That final reversal even stunned Wei Xiao. “Beautiful!”
He praised Money unceremoniously, “Captain Mo grasped the timing of

that attack too well. He locked in completely on Eurostar’s position. The
thing that makes this wave so amazing is that Eurostar didn’t make any
mistakes in positioning, and TPT’s support and top-lane had both been
standing in dead corners. Captain Mo still managed to find the opportunity
to cut him down, and his release and prejudgment of his skills were both
extremely accurate. That was the only way he was able to take down
Eurostar!”
And Eurostar’s fall had been the start of TPT’s collapse.
Their big c-position had been killed, making it difficult for them to gain any
benefits against RR’s five, who were sweeping forward with great
momentum despite the gap in farm.
This defeat had been like a landslide. No matter how much of an advantage
TPT had had before, this sudden death wave in the late stage was a collapse
that shattered the heavens and split the earth.
This was also where the charm of the competition lay; there were
unexpected events that went beyond strategy.
Wei Xiao praised this wave vigorously, managing not to repeat himself, all
the way until he saw one line in the scrolling comments––
“Q Cub, look at your captain.”

Wei Xiao: “!”
“If you keep praising, your captain’s going to die of jealousy!”
Wei Xiao quickly turned his head. With one look… if they weren’t live
broadcasting, then he would’ve leaned over to kiss him.
The scrolling comments were joking, but Wei Xiao could see it clearly: Lu
Feng had really gotten jealous and was eating the kind of vinegar that meant
that he might be sent back to sleep in the master bedroom at any time!
Wei Xiao didn’t have any more attention to spare for some Mo Hui, Mo
White, or Mo Red, and quickly went to coax him, “Cough, if my captain
was the one playing this death knight, then Eurostar would’ve died
thousands of times already.”
Lu Feng stuffed a piece of watermelon at him.
Wei Xiao’s cheeks puffed out as he worked hard to eat it.
The scrolling comments laughed so hard they were unable to catch their
breath and joked, “If I didn’t know Little Lunatic Wei’s character, then I
really would think that the two of you were having an affair!”
These words were mixed in with a pile of scrolling comments exclaiming

about how sweet they were, but Wei Xiao noticed it, and his heart
inexplicably tensed up slightly.
There were others who were trying to make trouble, latching on to Wei
Xiao’s earlier words. “So, based on this, is God Q more afraid of TPT?”
Wei Xiao’s joy had overflowed in his words when RR won. From another
perspective, it was as if he hadn’t wanted TPT to win. Why didn’t he want
them to win? Wasn’t it because he was afraid to meet them in the finals?
This logic…
The haters were working hard!

Wei Xiao smiled broadly and retorted, “Who am I afraid of? I’ll only be
afraid of my captain in this lifetime.”
Scrolling comments: “…….”
Wei Xiao followed up and asked, “Which player in TPT is more powerful
than my captain?”
The haters: “……” Sorry, please excuse us!
The fans started getting excited again. They all expressed that ever since
they started being Quiet fans, they didn’t know what it meant to eat a loss!
COOL, written in capital letters.
Oh and it was sweet too.
This fake sugar was so sweet that ‘Sealing you as king’ became the number
one term for Glory!
Ever since Wei Xiao’s real name had been exposed, the fans had given them
countless CP names, which didn’t need to be mentioned here.
After chatting for a while, both sides finished resting and started on the
fourth match.
This was RR’s match point. If they won this game, the national finals held
on June 2 would be against FTW and RR.
As for TPT, if another situation like the one from the previous match
appeared, then their season would come to an end here.
The camera displayed each team’s players one by one.
There were a total of ten people from both sides, and none of them had
relaxed expressions on their faces.
Eurostar, who always grinned and showed his teeth when he saw the
camera, looked at the screen without blinking. He only nodded slightly, as
though listening to his captain through the headset.
RR’s Mo Hui was very serious, too. He’d put away his usual casual attitude
and was sitting up straight, looking more serious than ever.
The fourth game…
They’d warmed up, their blood was heated, and winning or losing would be
determined with this fight!
The BP ended, and the match began.
It could be seen that the reversal from the last game had given RR a lot of
encouragement. Regardless of whether it was Mo Hui or Moonlit, their top-
laner or their support or their marksman, the whole team’s momentum was
soaring upwards.
RR was known for its mid-jungler linkage, and Mo Hui performed very
well, cooperating with Moonlit perfectly.
At the start, Wei Xiao was still providing commentary for the game. Later
on, he was focused on watching.
There was something to learn here, and he could put it into use.
Seeing that he’d fallen silent, Lu Feng casually spoke a few sentences.
The audience in the scrolling comments felt both love and hate towards
him: They loved the sound of his voice, which made their ears tingle, but
they hated his ‘spoilers’. Battles that could’ve been very exciting were
ruined because one of his sentences meant that they learned the results in
advance…
There were also some members of the audience who questioned how the
great demon king could be so powerful with his predictions and game
awareness!
In fact, it wasn’t that exaggerated. Senior commentators could also do this,

but they didn’t do it.
Commentators had to be professional, and they were facing a national
audience. What was more important was to ‘provide commentary’ on the
game, describing what had happened to the audience and enhancing the
viewing effect.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t see through what would happen, but that they
couldn’t say it out loud for the audience to hear.
As for Lu Feng’s godly foresight, it was also conditional.
He was observing the game from god’s perspective, which was quite
different from what he could see in the game. This mode allowed him to see
the trends from both sides, and it wasn’t difficult for Lu Feng, as a player
with this type of game awareness, to predict what would happen next.
RR’s offense slowed down in the last 30 minutes.
TPT fans were so nervous that they were almost hugging their heads and
crying.
Wei Xiao got to the point with one remark, “There isn’t much of a
difference in farm.”
Don’t judge based on RR’s strong momentum and their lead with the kill
count; Mo Hui’s ganking had been very effective, but the difference in farm
between the two teams wasn’t very significant.
Often, MOBA games were played out based on a difference in farm.
If your farm was high, and the opponent’s farm was low, they wouldn’t be
able to buy full sets of gear and would be pressed into the ground no matter
how well they played.
This was also the reason why FTW couldn’t perform well in the team
competitions despite how strong and amazing Close was.
No matter how amazing his operations were or how he brushed out his nine
light arcs, if his equipment was limited, all the DPS he dealt out would be
nothing but a tickle.
At first glance, it seemed as though RR had a big advantage, and it seemed
that they would be able to end the game soon.
But as long as they took a look at both side’s farm, which only showed a
2000 gold gap, leaving the situation in a state of uncertainty.
Especially when it came to RR’s marksman and TPT’s Eurostar.
The difference in farm between the two of them was a full 1700 gold.
It was Eurostar who had one more full piece of equipment compared with
RR’s ADC.
This was a huge hidden danger!
After another three to five minutes, RR started showing signs of weakness.
The advantages to TPT’s steady performance was fully evident at this

moment.
They had super strong operations and unhurried progress. When faced with
RR’s full momentum, they played like they were playing tai chi and easily
dissolved their power.
Wei Xiao’s expression grew heavy.
Lu Feng spoke in a low voice, “It’s hard for the wind thief to touch the gold
hunter.”
Mo Hui, who’d used the wind storm thief to build up an advantage in the
early stage, was now helpless in the face of the gold hunter.
The wind thief was different from the death knight.
The death knight had high defense and a strong control skill. When all of
the death knight’s skills landed on the squishy storm hunter’s body, it was
fatal.
The wind thief had high explosive damage, but it had very little health
while the gold hunter had a slightly higher level of defense than the storm
hunter.
It wouldn’t do to underestimate this slight difference because this factor

was often the key to victory.
When the last round of team fighting began, many people could already
foresee the outcome.
TPT wouldn’t make the same mistake twice. Mo Hui was unable to find the
right opportunity to attack Eurostar, so Mo Hui’s ranged damage skills were
meaningless.
When it came to a head on collision, the entire RR team was unable to hold
up against the damage dealt by the gold hunter’s golden arrows.
The director gave a close-up of Eurostar.
The baby faced youth looked focused with a pair of dark eyes beneath his
curved eyelashes.
His little tiger teeth were covered up, and the corners of his mouth were
tense. His expression was serious as he hit his keyboard and clicked his
mouse.
TPT.Star killed RR.Money.
TPT.Star killed RR.Kun.
TPT.Star……
After seizing a triple kill, TPT was in a strong position and won the fourth
match!
2:2!
The score was even!
The commentators spoke excitedly, “This is the first game in the playoffs
this year where a full five matches will be played!”
“That’s right, it looks like we’ll have a chance to enjoy a battle of freedom
today.”
“Moonlit can finally use the immortal warlock. It’s said that his thousand
layers of clouds has improved again recently.”
“Dragging it to the fifth match is a bit of a loss for TPT.”
The battle of freedom was a special feature of the BO5.
Up to five matches could be played in a BO5 game. The first four matches
had a normal BP segment and were standard matches, which were played
no differently from a BO3.
Only the fifth match, which was called the ‘battle of freedom’, was played
differently.
There was no BP segment in the battle of freedom, and it was commonly

known as blind selection.
There were no banned talents and no prohibition against choosing the same
talent. As long as they dared, both sides could use exactly the same talents.
It was very exciting.
Especially for the teams who were very good with specific talents, this was
just like opening up a hack!
Moonlit’s immortal warlock.
Asleep’s berserker thief.
FTW’s shadow thief…

These talents could all be let loose to show off in the game!
The last match, the decisive match, was also the most unrestrained one.
Regardless of how the players felt, the audience’s mood was definitely
mobilized to the peak. They all had high expectations towards this match!
Wei Xiao’s eyes were bright as well as he focused on watching.
The scrolling comments finally woke up from the giddiness of shipping

their CP and started paying close attention to the game.
“RR will definitely take the immortal warlock. As long as they’re able to
obtain that line-up, their win will be guaranteed, 100%.” The number of
formal games was limited, and RR had only managed to use this line-up
two or three times during the season after factoring in the BP segment, so
this win probability wasn’t as exaggerated as it sounded.
“TPT’s situation is a bit dangerous. Why did they have to drag the game to
the battle of freedom? Wouldn’t it have been good to win the game with a
3:1 score?”
“Haha, they have to have that level of ability.”
“Let’s bet. Laozi bets three million betting coins that RR will win!”
“I’ll go with that. I feel that RR’s win is secure.”

Ch203.2 - The team list for the
finals was now fresh out of the
oven!
Amidst a wave of people bad-mouthing TPT, Wei Xiao and Lu Feng

actually held different views.
This was TPT, and there was also Fu Li.
A man who could use traps like air and fill up the whole arena with them.
Would he be unprepared for the battle of freedom?
Would he really have made no plans for Moonlit’s immortal warlock?
Impossible.
Wei Xiao was actually looking forward to seeing what Fu Li had planned.
There was no BP for the battle of freedom, so both sides entered the game
after submitting their respective line-ups.
There was no need to wonder; RR had taken an immortal warlock line-up,

while TPT had taken a rarely seen mage talent––the undead mage.
The commentator had already started analyzing their line-ups, while the
audience grew even more nervous.
RR fans were worried about Moonlit’s immortal warlock messing up.
TPT fans worried that Fu Li’s routines might not work.

This was the final match, and the global finals were right in front of their
eyes!
A player’s state would change when they took a hero they were famous for.
Moonlit had always been a fierce assassin mage player. Now, his
momentum grew even more ferocious, and his thousand layers of clouds
could fly up everywhere as soon as he reached level six.
TPT was worthy of being the master of tricks and routines, and everyone
was looking forward to seeing how the undead mage would be played.
The undead mage wasn’t a popular talent, but it would still be seen in the
arena. Mostly, it was used to fit with a certain type of line-up.
The undead mage was a summoner talent, a bit like the druid. His main
method of attack was to summon undead things like skeletons and ghosts.
Ordinary players didn’t really like to play this talent. It wasn’t that it was
difficult to operate, but it was uncontrollable.
When they wanted their summons to go attack Party A, they would instead
go and bite Party B.
When they wanted their summons to attack the towers, they would go and
fight to the death with the lane soldiers and even get caught up with the
jungle creeps. It was enough to anger the players to death.
Fu Li had taken the undead mage in this match, and it was clear that he
wanted to use it to deal with Moonlit. As for how exactly he would target
him…
They hadn’t yet figured that out.
Mo Hui took the death knight that he was good at, and Eurostar took the
sniper engineer. Both of them were relatively more powerful heroes.
In the early stage of the game as they faced each other over the mid-lane,
Moonlit very unceremoniously suppressed the undead mage, and almost
killed Fu Li once his thousand layers of clouds was brushed out.
Fu Li sacrificed his summons and escaped with only a sliver of health left.
After analyzing both sides’ line-ups, the commentator had started to really
look forward to seeing what kind of effect TPT’s line-up could achieve.
However, the undead mage still hadn’t made any sort of brilliant plays even
as they progressed towards the middle stage of the game.
Could it be that…
Was TPT going to come to a stop here?
In the live stream room, Wei Xiao and Lu Feng had both started talking
less.
Wei Xiao was absorbed in watching the game, and Lu Feng also had his
gaze lowered as he watched.
Although the two of them didn’t speak, they’d constantly been switching
perspectives to watch the game. They looked at the entire situation from
different angles, across different terrain, and different fields of vision.
The game progressed to the 25th minute.
TPT, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly burst out!
Eurostar broke down the first tower of the bottom lane and started TPT’s
wandering marksman mode.
The sniper engineer was an ADC talent with a very long range. The damage
from his general attack was very standard, but the damage he could deal
with his skills went against the heavens.
Especially when it came to his sniper skill; as long as he’d set up his
fortress well, his range could span nearly half the map. Of course, such a
broad range also required precise aiming. If he hit, then half of his
opponent’s health would be gone, but if he missed, then it would deal no
damage at all. The operation costs for this hero were very high.
When Eurostar came to the mid-lane, he lurked in the dragon pit and set up
his gun, managing to accurately hit the immortal warlock from 6000 yards
away!
“Amazing.” Wei Xiao raised his eyebrows.
The commentators had started with a round of praise, and the audience was
also cheering. Scrolling comments swept by one after another.
What made people even more dumbfounded was that he fired another shot,
still at the limit of his range. His sniper shot arrived, and Moonlit, who was
standing under his tower, actually ended up seriously injured!
At the same time, a series of summons rushed over to tank the damage from
the defense tower and attack the immortal warlock.
The summons were all very fragile, and the defense tower could kill them
with one hit, but it was unable to block a whole group of them. The tower’s
attack speed was very slow, and it could only kill off one at a time. The
summons seemed to be rushing to sacrifice themselves, rushing up over the
corpses of their partners…
While it might take a long time to describe these events, in reality,

everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, Fu Li had released his summons before Eurostar’s second shot,

so there was no way for Moonlit to avoid the attack.
He’d taken two shots to the head, and as long as even one skeleton summon
scratched him…
The undead mage killed the immortal warlock!
This cooperation was really amazing.

By this time, everyone finally became aware of the undead mage’s true
purpose.
It was difficult for him to restrain the immortal warlock on the surface, and
he’d even been beaten over the head by the immortal warlock in the early
stages.
But the undead mage was too good of a match with the sniper engineer!
Once Eurostar built up three pieces of finished equipment, once he was

released from the bottom lane and allowed to wander, the undead mage’s
summons would become his eyes.
The summons would send themselves up to die, but they would provide
vision for that one short second.
It was just one second, but it was enough time for Eurostar to aim and
shoot.
Super long range, super high damage. It only took two shots to kill
someone!
The immortal warlock had no chance to brush up his thousand layers of

clouds!
Everyone had long figured out that TPT must have made preparations
against RR, but they hadn’t expected that it would be like this.
They didn’t play out any control skills and didn’t try to deal explosive
damage.
From the beginning to the end, TPT’s goal against RR was not to fight
against them directly.
They’d play tai chi, then snipe from a super long range…
It was so frustrating it could make people’s minds suffer a bloody collapse!

After the immortal warlock was shot to death twice in a row, RR began to
make their move.
Mo Hui: “I’m going to go look for Eurostar.” As long as they could

determine Eurostar’s location, they could interfere with his shots or kill him
and therefore protect Moonlit.
However…
The undead mage’s usefulness was put on display once again.
The summons could be used to determine the immortal warlock’s position,

and it could also be used to scope out sneak attacks.
As a cowardly baby, Eurostar’s nerves were extremely sharp.
He had the summons providing him with vision, but even without them, his
senses were so sharp that he could detect danger on his own.
He’d already slipped away by the time Mo Hui was about to reach him.
Of course, this also gave Moonlit a small opportunity, allowing him to

temporarily be relieved of the crisis of being locked on by the undead
mage’s summons.
Fu Li had made arrangements for this kind of situation a long time ago.
Once Eurostar encountered danger, the whole TPT team would shrink back.
Fight? No, no, no. They’d wait.
A thorn against cotton.
The audience’s mentalities were about to explode just from watching!
35 minutes into the game.
Eurostar once again found an opportunity. Two sniper shots from a hero
with full equipment hit accurately and sent Moonlit home.
At the same time, TPT’s support gave their team a speed buff, sweeping up
the whole team in a whirlwind. The five people from TPT surrounded RR’s
four remaining players.
Mo Hui’s death knight was really talented. He took down two of TPT’s
people with him…
Unfortunately, as long as they didn’t kill Eurostar, who was sniping from
the distance, RR would have no way to turn the tables.
Victory!
TPT won the battle of freedom!
The team list for the China competition zone’s 13th season finals, the fight
to enter the globals, was now fresh out of the oven.
It was FTW against TPT!
Shocking waves of applause broke out at the venue, and the camera was
directed at TPT’s fans. Their faces were red with excitement as they held up
their colorful light signs, screaming themselves hoarse with words that
conveyed their expectations and blessings.
The RR side.
At the end of the game, Mo Hui took off his headset woodenly and stared at
the word ‘Defeat’ on his screen.
Moonlit turned his head to look at him. “Captain.”
Mo Hui didn’t move.
Moonlit’s expression was as cold as ever. “What are you crying for, there’s
still the next season.”
Moonlit got up. He spoke as he headed towards the stage, “Are you going
to stop playing competitively if you can’t receive your family’s pocket
money?”
Mo Hui froze.
Moonlit strode forward. They’d clearly lost, but he acted more like a
winning rooster. “Of course, we can’t keep you if you insist on going back
to inherit your family business.”
It wasn’t a very nice sentence, but the words were like bursts of heat that
filled Mo Hui’s chest. His eyes suddenly brightened and grew cheerful with
this steaming heat––he’d clearly lost this last chance, but it was like a door
had opened up to a whole new world.
Mo Hui’s tears hadn’t yet dried, but a smile overflowed from the corner of
his mouth: “… In that case, I’ll really be No Money in the future.”
Moonlit didn’t even blink. “You were always No Money.”
At this time, the host was reading out the names from the list of fans on the
support list. When she came to RR’s fan list, she was stunned for a moment.
“One fan contributed 10 million support points to RR.”
One yuan was equivalent to ten support points, so 10 million support points
was 1 million RMB!
The audience collectively sucked in a breath. That was a real filthy rich!
At this time, the fan’s ID was announced on the big screen–Mo Hui’s Sister.
The audience broke out into laughter, expressing that this fan was really
bratty. They didn’t know that there actually was a big sister involved.
A real one.
The game was over, and the live broadcast also ended.
Wei Xiao was still in a trance as he closed down the live broadcast studio.
Lu Feng asked him, “Thinking about the last game?”
Wei Xiao’s pale fingers tapped against the table gently. “TPT is very
difficult to deal with.”
Eurostar was a little cowardly baby, but the sniper engineer he’d trained up
was really crafty.
Wei Xiao thought about it from another angle.
If he was Moonlit or if he was using the shadow thief, he might also have
been sniped down by this cold sniping.
What should he do?
The China competition zone semi-finals were over. As the host for the
globals, their game schedule had been arranged later than the rest.
The China competition zone had only just confirmed their team list for their
national finals, while other competition zones had already finished playing
all their games.
North America was the most efficient competition zone.
Yuan Ze, who’d won their division championship without any suspense,
gave Lu Feng a phone call.
Yuan Ze: “Lend us a place to live?”
xiin: shameless Old Dog Yuan~

Ch204.1 - Would Little Lunatic
Wei really be so kind?
If it was half a year ago, Yuan Ze would never even have dreamed that he
would send such a shameless message to Lu Feng.
Lend us a place to live?
How would a ‘traitor’ like him have the face to ask such a thing.
Now…
Yuan Ze continued to send over messages. “I heard that the new FTW base
is five or six floors high and there are many empty rooms. We don’t have
that many people with us, there’s only XX people, so four or five rooms
would be enough.” Now, he’d simply tossed things like keeping face out the
window!
It just so happened that Wei Xiao also received a message.
Old G: “Im come-ing**!”
Gary, who’d won the North American competition zone championship, was
still this silly and still just as proficient with his Martian text.
Wei Xiao didn’t know that Yuan Ze and the captain were in contact and
only bowed his head to reply to Gary, “Congratulations on winning the
championship.”
Old G: “There wuz no suspense≈”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were burned by this Martian text, and he cursed Yuan Ze
for not acting like a human being. Yuan Ze was the one to install this
character input method for him, not only harming this big fool, but setting
him up to harm others.
“Speak in English.”
Old G: “Nuu! My Chines is soo gudぷ!”
To some extent, his Chinese really was quite good. Even Chinese people
weren’t able to type out such words!
Wei Xiao was too lazy to explain and directly replied to him in English
instead.
At the end of the day, that was still Gary’s mother tongue, and he started
speaking normally again.
Old G naturally hadn’t contacted Wei Xiao in order to show off his
championship title, but to discuss another important matter, “My captain
said that we’ll be borrowing a place to live from FTW.”
Wei Xiao was stunned. “What?”
Old G: “When the time comes, I’ll have to trouble you to take me to the
FTW castle!”
He’d heard from a long time ago that FTW’s new base was shockingly big.
Calling it a villa was understating it, so it must be like a manor or a castle.
Wei Xiao blinked, then turned to look at Lu Feng. “Captain……”
Lu Feng: “What?”
Wei Xiao held up his cell phone and asked, “Old G said that they’re coming
to live here?”
How come he didn’t know about this!
Of course, it was okay for him not to know about it. After all, everything
was possible as long as the captain nodded.
Lu Feng glanced at the cell phone screen and uttered a few light words,
“He’s dreaming.”
Wei Xiao: “Eh?”
Lu Feng showed him his own cell phone screen.
Wei Xiao leaned over to see the chat between Yuan Ze and Lu Feng.
Old Bandit Yuan’s words could be skimmed over, and Lu Feng’s reply was
concise and short, “No space, not possible.”
Wei Xiao burst out laughing.
When it came to acting cool, the great demon king was still the best at it.
Who cared if the one on the other side was a human or a dog?
Wei Xiao was so amused that his eyes curved. “You really won’t lend them
a place?”
Lu Feng: “You want to let them live here?”
Wei Xiao chuckled. “How about we…” He leaned in against Lu Feng’s ears
and said a whole bunch of things.
Lu Feng’s thin lips curved up slightly as he listened. “Naughty.”
Wei Xiao: “We’re the type to mean what we say.”
Wei Xiao kissed him. “Isn’t it good? Taking down more than one bird with
one stone. Since they’ve already made their way to us and are asking us for
help, it’ll be difficult to explain if we don’t help them out.”
Lu Feng’s heart itched from looking at his cunning appearance, but they
were still in the training room where someone could come in at any time, so
he didn’t do anything to him.
Wei Xiao shook his cell phone in front of him. “If you agree, then just hand
this matter over to me.”
Lu Feng: “Go, then.”
He first used his own cell phone to reply to Old G, “Did you get it wrong?
My captain didn’t agree to lend you guys a place.”
Gary sent over a series of question marks. “How could that be! My
captain’s patted his chest to guarantee it, saying that he’d already gotten it
done.”
Wei Xiao: “Maybe you should go ask him again?”
Old G might be silly, but he wasn’t completely stupid. He asked carefully,

“Is Close so ruthless?”
Wei Xiao: “This has nothing to do with ruthlessness; there’s still the globals
coming up. If we live under the same roof now, how are we going to play in
the competition?”
Gary: “We’ll just play like that.”
Wei Xiao was too lazy to explain things to this big fool and said directly,
“Do you really want to come and live at FTW’s base?”
Gary: “Of course, those in a favorable position gain special advantages; if

we live in FTW, I’ll be able to find Close to solo at any time!”
Wei Xiao said in his heart: Dream on, you!
But what his mouth said was, “I can help you persuade my captain.”
Old G could sense that there was a trap in front of him. “Are you really so
kind?”
Wei Xiao smiled like a fox. “Of course, there are some conditions.”
Gary: “Like?”
Wei Xiao: “As long as we want to arrange a training match, you guys will
be on call. This includes, but isn’t limited to 5v5 games.”
Old G didn’t even think about it before sealing the deal. “Okay!”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t you have to go and ask your captain?”
Gary was already asking. He shouted his question out in their training room
directly.
He had a suspicious expression on his face as he came over, looking

through their chat history.
Old G was asking for praise. “Captain, I did well, right.” This public
relations move of his was perfect. They now had somewhere to stay, and
they could also have training matches with FTW at any time. There were
many advantages for them.
Yuan Ze looked at it carefully, and a trace of confusion showed in his peach

blossom eyes.
Would Little Lunatic Wei really be so kind?
He kept feeling as though there was some trick up ahead.
Gary went on in the background, “There’s no problem here! Quiet’s a good

person. He might be bratty, but he’s also very kind.”
Yuan Ze thought it over silently for a while.
Old G: “I’ll reply to him.”
He replied to Wei Xiao as he spoke, “It’s done!”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t go back on your word.”

Gary: “Don’t worry, as long as we’re living in FTW, you can make an
appointment for training matches at any time, and we’ll play however you
want to play.”
Wei Xiao: “You’ll try your best?”
Gary: “Of course!”
Wei Xiao: “I took a screenshot.”
Old G didn’t care. “As you like.”
The matter was settled just like that. From the surface, it looked like it had
been resolved happily.
However, Yuan Ze kept feeling as though there were drums playing in his
heart. He asked Lu Feng to check, “You agreed?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Yuan Ze: “Is Little Lunatic Wei now in charge of the family and making
decisions?”
Lu Feng: “Is there a problem?”
Yuan Ze: “……” My mouth got away from me, and I asked too much.
On the other side, Wei Xiao blinked at Lu Feng. “It’s done.”
Lu Feng poked the tip of his nose.
Wei Xiao: “I didn’t lie to them.”
Lu Feng laughed briefly, then called Xiang Liu and made arrangements.
Brother Liu was confused. “This…”
Lu Feng: “Go and arrange it.”

Xiang Liu: “Okay!”
The finals were only six days away.
Those who’d gone through it before all knew that these six days were filled
with real suffering.
In some moments, they would feel that time was passing very slowly, each
second dragging on like years, and these six days were like several
lifetimes. At other times, they would wonder why time was passing by so
quickly, one day gone in the blink of an eye. How come time couldn’t go
backwards? Why were the finals looming right in front of their eyes?
For these few days, their counselor stayed at FTW with them, and they had
a 20 minute chat with them every day to ensure that their psychological
states were alright, helping them relieve their tension and keep their spirits
at the healthiest levels.
Mo Hui called Wei Xiao the second day after the semi-finals.
Money: “Do you have time at noon?”
Wei Xiao: “?”
Mo Hui: “Treat you guys for a meal outside.”
Wei Xiao noticed his relaxed tone and joked, “It’s not a retirement banquet,
is it.”
Mo Hui laughed and cursed, “Get the hell away, Laozi’s not retiring!”
Wei Xiao: “Oh, so is it a celebration dinner prepared for us in advance?”
Mo Hui: “……” Can we be a bit less shameless, little brat!
Mo Hui invited everyone from FTW, including Brother Liu, to come out
and eat together.
Once Brother Cai heard that it was Money treating, he was ‘dressed up and
ready to attend’.
Wei Xiao: “The outfit on your body is at least worth six figures, right.”
Bai Caicai smiled slightly. “It’s still incomparable to one of the captain’s
watches.”
Wei Xiao felt that it would be awkward to say it out loud: Brother Cai was
confirmed as Glory’s ‘young lady of note’.
Unfortunately, while Bai Cai had dressed himself up so well, the restaurant
they went to eat at wasn’t anything special.
Even though it was still 400-500 yuan per person, to Money, this was just
like going to a common civilian restaurant, okay!
Bai Cai and Mo Hui had a good relationship, so he asked quite frankly,
“Why the cold treatment?” When Captain Mo made a move, shouldn’t it
start from 2000-3000 per person?
Mo Hui, on the other hand, answered happily. “I’ll only have my salary in
the future. I can’t spend extravagantly anymore.”
Bai Cai’s head was covered with question marks. He stopped just short of
asking whether the Mo Family group had gone bankrupt?
That wasn’t right, wasn’t their stock price soaring?
Mo Hui: “My parents said, I can chase my dreams, but I can forget about
the pocket money.”
Brother Cai was surprised, his face filled with heartache. “Captain Mo,
you’re…” Had he been expelled from his family? But he felt too
embarrassed to ask it out loud.
Mo Hui wasn’t discouraged at all. Instead, his expression was happy. “I

thought about it. My achievements this year weren’t very good, and my
performance can be linked back to how I spend so much money. When it
comes to people, there’s no gain without pain. My parents cutting off my
economic support is them encouraging me to pursue my dreams in
disguise!”
Everyone present: oh. All the poor commoners were left speechless.
They didn’t understand it. The thought process of you rich people are really
strange.
Only Lu Feng bumped his glass against his. “Congratulations.”
Mo Hui laughed loudly. “Thanks!”
If any outsiders saw these two teams, they might think that it was RR who’d
rushed into the national finals!
They were so high despite losing the game; could you guys act a bit more
normal?!
Ch204.2 - Sure enough, Little
Lunatic Wei would never act like a
person!
FTW’s side didn’t drink alcohol, but RR, who’d started their holidays early,
didn’t have the same taboos.
Mo Hui had two drinks in his belly and spoke to Brother Cai, “Old Bai,
look at how I’m poor now.”
Bai Cai’s expression was filled with ‘you’re poor now, you should be more
self-aware and stay a bit further away from me’.
Mo Hui was teasing him on purpose, “Your big brother was young then and
didn’t understand anything. Now that I’ve suddenly woken up, I feel that
that Porsche…”
Bai Cai was startled. “Holy shit, Money, be a bit less shameless. You can’t
actually want to take back the car you gave away!”
Mo Hui: “You see, I’m really No Money now, Brother Bai, can you…”
Brother Cai hurriedly drew a line between them, and even urged Little Ning
to change seats with him.
Everyone was amused by their actions.
Money’s alcohol tolerance was mediocre. He drank a bit, then unwittingly

drank too much.
Moonlit didn’t drink, and the cold blades he shot out from his eyes stabbed
into Money several times.
But Mo Hui wasn’t scared of anything today. He felt that the air was filled
with freedom, and he was super high. “Old Fu is really like a damned dog,
hiding tricks left and right every day. He doesn’t leak any tricks during
training matches, yet he can pull his routines out directly in the competition
and still play them out so effectively.”
He might feel free, but they’d really lost the game. Saying that he didn’t
feel bad about it would be a lie.
Now that he’d drunk too much, he was giving full vent to his emotions and
cursing Fu Li like a bloody dog.
Wei Xiao took this opportunity to ask them about many details.
RR didn’t mean to hide anything. Their season was over, and compared
with their old time rivals TPT, they’d rather see FTW win the
championship.
Besides, who wasn’t a Close fan?
It hadn’t been easy for him to have a chance to fight against the team of
Gods. They were all happy to help him out.
Mo Hui chattered on for a long time, and Moonlit said quite a lot, too. He
had been the one who felt it the most deeply, since he’d been the direct
victim. Eurostar’s cold sniping in that last match had made his scalp go
numb.
“Eurostar must have practiced with the sniper engineer. His accuracy is too
exaggerated; basically, as long as he has vision, he’ll definitely hit.”
Yue Wenle had his ears pricked up as he listened from the side.
Moonlit glanced at him. “It wasn’t trained up overnight. It’s likely that Fu
Li arranged a thorough training plan for him.”
There were quite a few professional players who could play the sniper
engineer. Even without mentioning the globals, there was no lack of
‘sharpshooters’ in the domestic competition.
But this kind of thing really depended on feel. Even if they’d trained up a
level of skill, it was easy to play badly if this feeling of familiarity wasn’t
maintained every day.
Of course, credit also had to be attributed to Fu Li’s cooperation. The two

people had a deep understanding between them, which was something that
not all mages and ADCs could have.
For example, on the FTW side, there was no such tacit understanding
between Little Ning and Old Yue.
Wei Xiao nodded. “That line-up is certainly very strong. The effort that
Eurostar has put in in the background can’t be underestimated.”
How could there be a victory that happened just from talking about it?
There always had been sufficient homework done behind the scenes.
Mo Hui leaned back in his chair and shook his wine glass. “You guys,
you’re better off not taking the shadow thief in the finals.”
Wei Xiao and Lu Feng looked at him.
Moonlit’s expression was still cold as he agreed, “Indeed.”
They didn’t say it explicitly, but the implication behind it was obvious.
Don’t judge at how RR was laughing and talking and drinking happily.
Yesterday’s battle of freedom had left a big impact on them.
Especially on Moonlit.
The immortal warlock was his signature talent. It was his confidence and
his pride.
But it had all become a mess.
This failure was cruel. Not only had it attacked RR’s routine, it had also
attacked Moonlit’s self confidence.
For a proud player like this to say all this, was enough to show big of a
shock they’d received.
The winner was king, and losers were always in the wrong.
RR might scold Fu Li like a dog on the surface, but they didn’t really resent
him in their hearts.
Their skills hadn’t been good enough, and they’d lost the game, but they’d
fight again next year.
They didn’t finish eating until after nine. Mo Hui had thoroughly gotten
himself drunk and was pulling at Brother Cai to sing with him.
Bai Cai was as grave as a judge. “500 per song.”
Mo Hui: “Okay!”
Moonlit: “Ha.”
Mo Hui immediately changed his words, “Like hell!”
Brother Cai rolled his eyes and disdained him. “Hurry up and go back to
inherit your family business, why are you playing in some poor
competition!”
Mo Hui disdained him back. “What the hell do you know!”
Brother Cai turned around and acted inhuman, “Get lost, you poor devil!”
They messed around until around 10PM, and then they each returned back
to their respective bases. Just before they separated, Moonlit said to Ning
Zhehan, “I’ll play with you tomorrow.”
Little Ning was flattered and surprised. “!”
Moonlit: “Solo.”
Ning Zhehan: “Okay!” He stood up straight.

Moonlit patted him on the shoulder, “Kill Fu Li.”
Little Ning’s skin tensed up.
Moonlit’s voice was low, “If you can’t kill him, I’ll kill you.”
Ning Zhehan: QAQ.
It was no wonder Moon God didn’t drink. As a person who could act drunk
even without drinking, he didn’t need to drink!
The next day, Yuan Ze landed at S City’s Airport Terminal 2 with L&P’s
crowd of people.
Don’t look at how they were an American team. They were also popular in
China because of Yuan Ze.
Photos of them at the airport were instantly spread out through microblogs
as fans ran over to comment.
“Scum Man Yuan’s aura hasn’t diminished at all from back then!”
“Even though I’m a Yuan Hater, I must admit that his long legs can match
up to the great demon king’s.”
“He really lives up to being a mixed blood. He’s tall and has a great figure.”
“Do you see these earrings of mine? They’re the same style!”
“Like hell they’re the same, his ear stud is customized from his
championship ring!”
Some newcomers only learned about this now, “What, what? He changed
his championship ring into an ear stud?”
“Yeah, the championship ring from the Team of Gods that year.”
“He changed it into an ear stud and wore it all the time?”
“Yes, unique, limited edition Glory.”
“Wuwuwu, worthy of being Scum Man Yuan, scummy with deep feelings.”
Yuan Ze’s scum man label was mainly because he looked like a playboy:
peach blossom eyes, flirty attitude, and that signature bad boy smile which
had cheated countless girls’ hearts. Of course, another reason was how
easily he’d walked away and hadn’t come back once in three years. He’d
clearly acted like a scum man towards FTW.
But if that was it, it wouldn’t have been enough to make the fans love and
hate him like this.
The most abusive thing he’d done was to be the first to give up solo. He
was clearly able to win the world solo championship and use this to
establish a foothold in North America, but he voluntarily gave up on the
singles.
Fans asked him why.
Yuan Ze’s reply to them had been the ear stud in his left ear.
A unique ear stud that had been modified from the black and gold
championship ring.
At the time, the Team of Gods’s old fans had cried so much their tears
turned into a river that could flow all the way from S City to North
America, halfway around the world.
Lu Feng arranged for the van to go and pick them up.
Yuan Ze noticed Wei Xiao with a glance and waved in greeting.
Wei Xiao greeted them, then said, “My captain is busy, so I came to pick
you up.”
Yuan Ze pushed up his sunglasses and looked him over, “You’ve grown
taller.”
Wei Xiao smiled like a fox, “It might be because you aren’t wearing padded
shoes.”
This conversation couldn’t continue. He shouldn’t have f*cking tried to talk

to this kid!
Gary and the others all greeted Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao had grown familiar with them in the winter training camp and
was happy to see them all again.
They were all big boys and powerful players, they had many interests in
common and it was easy to find topics to chat about.
Yuan Ze sat next to Wei Xiao in the van.
Wei Xiao was in the midst of sending Lu Feng a message.
Yuan Ze asked him in a low voice, “Is your captain so easy to talk to?”
Wei Xiao: “When is my captain not easy to talk to?”
Yuan Ze: “……” There was never a time when Close was easy to talk to!
Yuan Ze still felt uneasy, “You’re really letting us live at FTW’s base?”
Yuan Ze: “Not going to try and avoid suspicion?”
Wei Xiao: “Even you guys don’t care about that. We don’t care, either.”
Yuan Ze tapped his index finger against the armrest. He kept having the
feeling that there was a trap somewhere.
But he couldn’t figure out what it was.

Wei Xiao bowed his head to send his messages to Lu Feng. Because he
didn’t try to avoid Yuan Ze’s gaze, Yuan Ze was able to see the contents
very clearly with his dynamic vision.
He gritted his teeth, “Can the two of you stop acting so sticky.” What the
hell was this memeda!
Wei Xiao: “Is this called sticky?”
Yuan Ze: “……” He felt like he shouldn’t have said anything.
Wei Xiao held up his cell phone and spoke directly into the microphone,
“Love you~”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”
Wei Xiao’s expression was full of, ‘Get it?’.
Lu Feng replied to him, “Good.”
Wei Xiao raised it up for Yuan Ze to see, “Do you see that?” This was what
stickiness really was!
Yuan Ze expressionlessly put his sunglasses back on, stopping just short of
sticking an emoticon on his own face––once the sunglasses are on, no one
loves me.jpg
It wasn’t a short trip from the airport to the base.
L&P’s starters, who’d been traveling for over ten hours, took a nap, and
were still a bit out of it when they arrived.
Yuan Ze rubbed his eyes, “Are we there?”
Wei Xiao: “Yea!”
Old G looked out the window and said, “You guys really have a castle!”
FTW’s new base could really be said to be a distinct front for China’s e-
sports. It was very grand.
L&P’s people were just getting ready to get off the car when they
discovered that the van wasn’t stopping.
Gary: “???”
Wei Xiao: “We’re not there yet.”
Old G got it, “We’re not going through the main entrance?”
Wei Xiao didn’t explain.
Only Yuan Ze’s heart thudded briefly.
About five or six minutes later, the van came to a stop as they arrived at
their destination.
Yuan Ze’s head started buzzing the moment they got off the van.
Sure enough, it had been a trap!
Sure enough, Little Lunatic Wei would never act like a person!
Wei Xiao spoke in a friendly tone, “We’re here. The place was cleaned up
the day after yesterday to ensure that you guys can settle in comfortably.”
At this time, Old G also sensed that something wasn’t right, “This place…”
Wei Xiao introduced, “This is FTW’s old base.”
From three years ago.
Don’t ask, if you ask, then it was time to start burning paper.

Wei Xiao: Burning paper isn’t environmentally friendly, you can use
candles.
God Yuan: ……………….
xiin: basically, i forgot monday existed, so you guys get monday +

tuesday’s updates together… orz
Ch205.1 - Traces left from three
years ago had been eroded away by
the years...
Although it was their base from three years ago, it had only been abandoned
for less than a year.
FTW had only gained complete freedom in terms of funding after winning
the domestic championship last year; soaring platform signing fees and high
endorsements, combined with the effective operations of the team and
supporting policies allowed the present ‘castle’ to come into being.
The old base wasn’t small. After all, it had once belonged to the Team of
Gods, and three years hadn’t changed the building much.
As Wei Xiao had said, it had been cleaned up very thoroughly. Other than
some places that were empty where there used to be ornaments or hanging
items, all the remaining furniture was still available, and it wasn’t obvious
that it had been left empty for a long time.
The entrance led straight to the trophy exhibition hall. All the trophies that
the old FTW had won were still on display here, carefully protected with
transparent glass covers.
Domestic championships, invitational championships, singles

championships, and finally, the weighty global championship.
Yuan Ze’s left ear tingled slightly when he saw it.
Three years ago, the craftsman had told him that the championship ring was
very heavy and not suited for an ear stud.
Wei Xiao enthusiastically took them to tour through the old base. Old G
only realized this after the fact, “Is this the former FTW base?”
Gary turned back in horror and looked at his captain.
Yuan Ze’s expression was as heavy as water, scaring Big G until the back of
his neck tensed up.
There was intent to kill there!!!
Having Yuan Ze live here was like asking him to die!
Old G spoke quickly, “We…”
Yuan Ze interrupted him and asked Wei Xiao, “Have the rooms upstairs
been cleaned as well?”
Wei Xiao: “Of course. There are enough rooms even if you all take one
room each.”
Yuan Ze: “Okay.”
After speaking, he went up the steps. He didn’t need anyone to lead him; he
was also qualified to lead others around to tour this place.
Gary: “???”
He looked back at VIVI, his confusion clear on his face.
Were they really going to live here?
VIVI followed Yuan Ze upstairs and picked a room.
Yuan Ze’s mood actually calmed down after he went upstairs.
It was a familiar base, but it also felt unfamiliar.

Any traces left from three years ago had been eroded away by the years,
leaving only the trophies on the first floor.
The new FTW had lived here for over two years, and his room had long
been assigned to other players.
There were no similarities, and there wasn’t anything to look back on.
It was just that his mood kept fluctuating.
After all, this base had held both the most dazzling and the most miserable
moments of FTW.
Now, FTW had managed to stride forward, going out to face the new world.
What gave old people like him the right to act so picky?
Wei Xiao might be bratty, and he really did want to get ‘revenge’ on Old
Bandit Yuan, but he knew his limits.
It was already very exciting to bring people to this point, but he’d long
made preparations in case Yuan Ze flicked his hands and chose to leave
instead.
Unexpectedly, he’d just gone upstairs when he heard Yuan Ze making a

phone call.
Yuan Ze’s Chinese was very standard, each word pronounced precisely, but
his tone was a little evil, “When are you and Old Li coming over?”
He could guess that this was a call to Kim Sung-hyun even without having
heard his name mentioned.
It was unknown what Kim Sung-hyun said in reply, but Yuan Ze’s thin lips
curved and he clearly didn’t have any good intentions. “Do you have a
place to live?”

He was just as stupid as that silly vegetable back home for being worried
about this old bandit!
Yuan Ze was really calling Kim Sung-hyun. The South Korean and North
American finals had ended on the same day, but Pro had had a tougher time
winning the championship than L&P had. They’d had to fight all the way to
the battle of freedom, and had relied on Kim Sung-hyun’s gold hunter
dominating the whole canyon in order to win.
The new generation in South Korea had risen up rapidly, and several new
dark horses had emerged during the winter training camp.
If it hadn’t been for the major changes in the global competition system this
year, and seed teams had still been allowed to join in on the competition
like before, it might have really become a bloody storm!
Kim Sung-hyun’s heart was really tired from fighting in the domestic
competition, and he hadn’t quite recovered. “If you have something to say,
then say it. Otherwise, if you don’t have any farts to let out, then goodbye!”
Yuan Ze’s temper was really ‘good’. He spoke in a coaxing, warm tone,
“Big brother’s just concerned about where you’ll be staying.”
Kim Sung-hyun was so disgusted by his tone that goosebumps broke out all
over his body. “You don’t have to worry about that.”
Yuan Ze: “I know I don’t have to worry about it. Little Close has taken us
in.”
Kim Sung-hyun was stunned for a moment when these words came out.
Yuan Ze’s words made Wei Xiao, who’d been forced to listen in, want to
jump out and beat him up. “I also had no choice. How could I refuse
Close’s invitation? So…”
Kim Sung-hyun: “So you’re living at the FTW base? Old Bandit Yuan, can
you be a little less shameless!”
Yuan Ze sighed emotionally. “FTW’s base is really big; it’s really like a
castle. Compared with Pro’s base… from a visual inspection, it looks at
least five times bigger.”
Yuan Ze: “How about coming over to live here together? I’ll let Close know
for you.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Get lost!”
Yuan Ze: “Come on, us brothers should have a proper reunion.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “… Not going.”
Yuan Ze: “Alright then, I’ll go and tell Close.”
Kim Sung-hyun felt awkward and angered at the same time. “I already said
I’m not going!”
Yuan Ze: “Yes, yes, I’ll arrange it for you right away.”
There was a click as Kim Sung-hyun hung up the phone.
Wei Xiao felt that he was still too easy going and soft-hearted. Compared
with Old Dog Yuan, he was really too simple and green!
Far away in South Korea, God Kim was still sour.
Li Heran: “What’s the matter?”
Kim Sung-hyun’s tone wasn’t anything good, “Close actually likes that dog
Yuan Ze more!” Why did he invite Old Dog Yuan and not him.
After Li Heran learned of the full situation: “……”
It was fortunate that there was nobody else in the training room, because
otherwise God Kim’s persona would really have collapsed.
Li Heran comforted him. “Close should be returning a favor.”
Kim Sung-hyun thought about it. “That’s right.”
Previously, he’d gone to North America for treatment, and Yuan Ze had
looked out for him a bit. It was likely that Close had just uttered a few
polite sentences, but a certain shameless person had gone ahead and really
moved in.
When he thought about it that way, Kim Sung-hyun still felt dissatisfied and
asked Li Heran, “How about we also borrow a place to live at the FTW
base?”
Li Heran didn’t care. “As you like.”
The more Kim Sung-hyun thought about it, the more reasonable he felt it
was. “As an elder brother, I should protect my younger brother from that
doggy thing!”
Unfortunately, God Kim had forgotten that he was half a year younger than
Old Dog Yuan.
After listening in, even the little remnants of guilt that Wei Xiao had felt in
his heart evaporated away like smoke.
Sure enough, inhuman means should be used when facing people who acted
inhuman.
Just look at him. He’d fallen into a trap, then happily dragged someone else
in with him. He was really good at playing around!
When it came to arranging rooms, Old G wondered out loud, “There are so
many vacant rooms, so why do I have to squeeze in with VIVI?”
Yuan Ze smiled slightly. “This isn’t our base. We should be more

circumspect.”
Gary thought about it and held back. Their captain was putting up with so
much in order for them to be able to live in a place that upset him, so they
should really be more understanding. What were they being so picky for? It
was already pretty good for them to have a place to live!
Wei Xiao, who knew the truth: “……”
Oh, he was freeing up rooms for Pro, right. Captain Yuan, you’re really
capable!
Although they were now living at the old base instead of the new base, it
was still necessary for them to host a welcome banquet.
Lu Feng was also a bit surprised that Yuan Ze had been willing to stay and
live at the base, but Wei Xiao then told him about the sequence of events.
Wei Xiao said indignantly, “I underestimated him.”
Lu Feng smiled. “Then we’ll beat him up in the arena.”
The thickness of Yuan Ze’s face was really enough to make city walls feel
ashamed; he didn’t even feel embarrassed complaining about it during the
reception banquet.
“It’s such a big base, but you don’t have four or five rooms to spare? Do
you really have to drive us out to the remote suburbs in the poor
countryside?”
Lu Feng was silent.
Yuan Ze continued, “When you were in North America…”
He hadn’t finished his words when Wei Xiao sneered. “My captain didn’t
stay at L&P’s base, did he!”

Wei Xiao continued, “If you feel that it’s remote, why don’t you move to
the Peninsula Hotel to the west of the city?”
It was 4000-5000 per night, enough that one globals could bankrupt L&P.
Yuan Ze shut up, and Lu Feng’s mouth curved up briefly.
This smile let Yuan Ze understand––no wonder Close was so quiet, he was
waiting to be ‘defended’!
He didn’t need to eat any Japanese food. Just eating dog food was enough!
Since they were living at FTW’s base, their previous agreement took effect.
L&P had just gotten over their jet lag when their ‘enslavement’ began.
They had training matches from 1PM all the way to 12 midnight, and when
it was over, Gary was still not done. “Again!”
Yuan Ze yawned. “Like hell!”
Being so excited about being enslaved – was he masochistic!
They were only three days away from the national finals.
FTW really benefited from these two days of training with L&P.
At first, they would only win one game out of every five. Later, it was two
out of every five, and then even later, the win rate was even.
Of course, this was also because they were playing training matches. The
more training matches they played together, the more the players’ attitudes
would diverge.
It wasn’t that the players’ attitudes were incorrect, but that the mentality
was different.
The tension and stimulation of a real competition wasn’t present during a

training match, and when it came to the competition, the results often
depended on the players’ states.
Being in a good state or a bad state were all key factors in winning the
game.
Ch205.2 - Antagonistic Lu came
online.
On May 30th, the European championships began. There was no doubting

which teams were fighting for first place––Y1 and EVE.
Xiang Liu directly opened up a meeting room, and L&P and FTW’s starters
went to watch the game together after their training matches. It was a very
lively scene.
Yan Jiang and Xie He were old rivals, and these two teams had played
against each other countless times.
It wasn’t obvious who had the upper hand, and it really depended on how
they developed in the game.
Fans in Europe were shouting excitedly, waves of sound rising and falling.
The level of excitement they held for the game was akin to watching a
football game.
When Y1 appeared on the stage, the camera gave Yan Jiang a fixed shot.
This unsmiling man didn’t even look at the camera, walking on stage
coldly, and sitting down coldly. It was as though he wasn’t participating in
the finals for their competition zone, but rather playing a game in the
training room at their base.
Yuan Ze: “There’s really no one who can match God Yan’s mentality.”
There was more mockery in his tone than respect.
He was once their captain, but was now addressed as God Yan. There were
a whole lot of subtle emotions hidden in between the lines.
The EVE Players came out after that.
Europeans were generally tall. EVE’s top-laner was 1.9 meters tall, and he
looked like a gym coach in the team uniform with his burly figure. Their
jungler, support, and marksmen were all over 1.85 meters tall, and their
support was a two hundred pound fat brother who looked like a mountain
standing beside Xie He.
This sudden drop in height in their formation had initially led to laughter in
the arena when they first appeared.
Now…
The venue burst out into explosive cheers as soon as this 1.7 meter Xie He
came up onto the stage.
Did height matter? Their God Xie’s aura was 2.8 meters tall!
Wei Xiao quite admired Xie He. It was really difficult for a Chinese player
to gain such popularity in Europe.
He wouldn’t have been able to defeat that deadly prejudice without absolute
strength that went against the heavens.
Xie He had to put out far more effort than an ordinary player, using days
and nights of hard work and effort in order to garner such amazing cheers.
The BP segment went by quickly, with both coaches standing behind their
respective star players.
Yan Jiang and Xie He remained silent the whole time, saying nothing and
making people wonder about how they communicated with their team.
Actually, those who were familiar with them already knew that there wasn’t
any need for them to say anything. One of them was a support king, and the
other was a mage king, and their line-ups were completely dependent on
their teammates and their enemies.
They were able to play out explosive results no matter what the coaches
gave them; this was the strength that belonged to the Team of Gods.
They weren’t all-rounder kings who could play all professions, but they
were all-rounder kings within their own positions.
Rather than having broad but unrefined ability, it was better to strive for
excellence!
Xie He displayed the strength of a real mage king in the first match,
performing so well that he made Ning Zhehan and VIVI fall into a daze.
Every position in Glory was important. As long as they wanted to perform,

as long as they had the strength, it was possible to fly up.
Xie He’s linkage across the whole map made people’s blood boil from
watching it.
After clearing out a wave of lane soldiers, he went to the top lane to provide
support, forcing Y1’s top-laner to be seriously injured even if he didn’t die.
He launched another assault when he returned to the mid-laner, forcing
Y1’s mid-laner to retreat. When he sensed that there was movement in the
jungle zone, he calculated their vision accurately and slipped away, long
gone even before Y1 had made their move.
However, the bottom lane… he didn’t go there because Yan Jiang was
there.
Reasonably speaking, they should gank the marksman until they had no
way to develop in the early stages, but Xie He understood Yan Jiang too
well. He’d remained in the bottom lane just to lure him over.
As soon as EVE’s focus shifted there, the group fighting machine Yan Jiang
would be able to beat them back into seclusion.
This confrontation between old opponents was really brilliant.
The laymen were just watching the excitement, but those who were insiders
really saw much more.
FTW’s large conference room was so quiet that even the sound of a pin
dropping would be able to be heard.
No one spoke, and they wished they didn’t even have to blink, afraid to
miss out on a single glorious moment.
EVE won the first game thanks to Xie He’s multi-directional assault.
Don’t judge based on how Y1 had lost; everyone understood in their hearts
that Yan Jiang warmed up slowly. Or, it could be said that the whole of Y1
was slow to warm up.
They didn’t have a ‘high impact’ player like Xie He on their team, and it
took time for them to get into the right state.
When they encountered weak teams, they would basically be ready halfway
through the first match. But when they were up against their old counterpart
EVE, Xie He, who deeply understood their situation, would never give
them the time they needed to ‘wake up’.
Winning one match was better than nothing. Whoever took that lightly
would be stupid.
The atmosphere in the entire canyon was different for the second match.
Xie He was still attacking everywhere, but his success rate had already
dropped sharply.
The state of the four people in Y1 had already been mobilized. During the
middle and later period, as Yan Jiang teamed up with any of the players in
any position, EVE began to find themselves in a tight spot.
Wei Xiao whispered to Brother Cai, “Do you see that?”
Brother Cai was seeing too much, and his vision was dazzled!
Wei Xiao reminded him, “Vision!”
Bai Cai nodded. “It’s very tricky.”

Wei Xiao: “There’s a lot to learn from. We’ll go over the replay later.”
Bai Cai said seriously, “Yes!”
Regardless of whether it was Eve or Y1.
Although they each had their own pillars, the other four players from each
team were also strong players in their own right.
Ordinary players might not even be able to keep up with Xie He’s support.
Let alone achieving a good effect, accidentally sending Xie He off to his
death would be a standard occurrence.
The vision Yan Jiang provided was tricky and precise, but if Y1’s four
people didn’t have enough game awareness, they may not notice it at all and
miss out on those fleeting opportunities.
There was no doubt that both teams were teams that had already trained up
to a certain extent and had a lot of experience under their belts.
Yan Jiang and Xie He’s so-called exceptional playing was labelled as such
because they drove their team’s rhythm, like a strong stabilizing force or a
wind vane that could provide enough information to help their teammates.
Y1 won the second match.
The third match was more frenetic. The ten players who’d now fully
warmed up performed well across the whole game, giving the fans the
ultimate viewing experience. Their hearts trembled from the players’
operations, and there was endless shouting echoing in their ears.
Y1 was at full power. Their top-laner, mid-laner, jungler, and marksman all
showed wonderful operations, the type that could be cut out and put in the
yearly collection of top plays.
Yuan Ze tsked.
Lu Feng watched quietly.

Although neither of them said anything, varying degrees of heat could be
seen in their eyes.
Wei Xiao and Yan Jiang had teamed up together briefly, and he could
vaguely sense a bit of it.
As teammates, God Yan was really a rare existence who could provide
support with no sense of dissonance. He could predict his enemies as well
as his teammates, and there was no need to say too much. He made things
happen smoothly and was really worthy of being a treasure in the Glory
circle.
But saying such a thing didn’t belittle the level of Y1’s players. Instead, it
added another degree of recognition.
Those who were worthy of God Yan were doomed to never be crappy or
inexperienced.
Y1 won the third match.
Yan Jiang and Xie He didn’t appear for the trash talk segment that took
place during the half-time break.
Y1’s mid-laner came out to say his piece, and EVE’s jungler came up to
antagonize him back.
The subtitle translations were very matter-of-fact which made them

inexplicably funny.
In the fourth match, EVE started playing an even more extreme play style.
EVE had always been an absolute mid-laner core team, but that intensified
even further now. All of their farm piled up on Xie He, and Xie He moved
around with four players supporting him everywhere.
They would either avoid fighting, or stir things up in a big way.
This game took a full 40 minutes, and the last group fight was won after
Xie He’s six beams of magic stabbed Y1’s marksman to death from the
furthest possible distance!
2:2, an even score!
They finally reached the battle of freedom.
Everyone who’d come to the scene felt that they’d really gotten their
money’s worth with the ticket price. The fans stood up excitedly, looking
forward to seeing today’s winner.
Y1 had been the champion for last year’s global finals, but EVE had been
the European champion.
This year, would it be EVE successfully defending their title, or would Y1

win the crown?
It would all depend on this last battle.
Wei Xiao spoke up suddenly, “How about making a bet on it.”
Yuan Ze was always up for it. “What’s the bet.”
Wei Xiao: “Let’s first talk about our thoughts first. What kind of bet can we
make if we think the same way?”
Yuan Ze: “You speak first. I’m sure my thoughts will be different from
yours.”
Wei Xiao: “Then aren’t you definitely going to lose?”
Yuan Ze: “If I lose to you, I’m…” Willing.
Lu Feng: “Y1.” He directly interrupted Scum Man Yuan’s coquettish words.
Wei Xiao immediately looked at Lu Feng and smiled sweetly. “The captain
and I have a heart to heart connection!”
Yuan Ze: “……” He suddenly didn’t want to bet anymore!

Wei Xiao looked at him again. “How about it? Are you rooting for EVE?”
Lu Feng’s eyelids lifted up slightly. “Don’t talk big if you can’t afford to
lose.”
This smell of vinegar was strong enough to reach the skies!
Yuan Ze’s tone was grumpy, “EVE!” Even if he felt that Old Xie’s win
wasn’t very certain for this round.
Wei Xiao confirmed it. “We’re betting on Y1, and Captain Yuan is betting
on EVE. Everyone can stand witness.”
Gary wanted to speak but hesitated.
Yuan Ze stared at him, and Silly Big G shut up.
Yuan Ze: “What’s the bet?”
Wei Xiao naturally had something planned. “How about Captain Yuan
making an appointment for a training match with TPT for us if we win?”
Stinky brat, you really make the best use of everything!
To some extent, L&P was very similar to FTW. They both had big daddies
in their top lane, were both jungler cores, and even VIVI was similar to
Little Ning.
It wasn’t convenient for FTW to go and ask TPT, but L&P could, and TPT
wouldn’t refuse them.
Yuan Ze agreed.
Wei Xiao: “Alright, let’s watch the game!”

Yuan Ze’s head was covered with question marks. “You’re not going to ask
me?”
Antagonistic Lu came online, “No need, you’ll definitely lose.”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”
These stinky brats, they’ve really grown hard wings!
The author has something to say: Vinegar Lulu, online antagonizing people.
The captain looks on with a dangerous gaze.
Ch206.1 - The mantis catches the
cicada, but the yellow sparrow
lurks behind!
Their captain had been bullied, so everyone in L&P had to… happily watch
the excitement!
VIVI and the other three all acted like they didn’t understand Chinese, and
didn’t show the slightest inclination of helping their captain find a way out
of his predicament.
Old G was still kind-hearted at the end and showed some respect to Yuan
Ze. “Captain, what’s your bet?”
Yuan Ze: “……” He was too lazy to bring it up now.
Gary was still holding onto his fantasy. “What if EVE suddenly bursts out
and turns the tables on Y1?”
Yuan Ze: “Heh.”
Old G said sincerely, “Don’t you always say, you’re not afraid of a bowl,
but you’re afraid of things?”
This Chinese was so strange that even the Chinese people present couldn’t
understand what he was saying.
Yuan Ze corrected him, “The phrase is not being afraid of ten thousand
things, but being afraid of the unexpected.”
Gary: “Yes yes yes!”

The truth proved that Old G really loved his captain. As for his captain––
What kind of love could a scum man who’d taught him Martian language
instead of Chinese understand?
Yuan Ze finally spoke out his side of the bet, “If EVE wins, then Quiet and
Gary will switch teams when FTW and L&P play training matches.”
The two jungler kings: “???”
Wei Xiao looked sympathetically at Old G. He didn’t have to say much, as

his eyes said it all: Wake up, you’ve been treated like scum!
Old G felt aggrieved to death. “If I’d known, I wouldn’t have shown you
any respect!”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”
Sure enough, he shouldn’t have come back to FTW. This place didn’t agree
with him!
As they chatted, the two teams in the live broadcast had already selected
their respective line-ups.
In the battle of freedom, most teams would have their own routine line-ups.
Surprisingly, Xie He hadn’t taken the immortal warlock.
There was a saying that had been circulating in the Glory circle for a long
time: There were two types of immortal warlocks. One was Xie He’s
immortal warlock, and the other was other people’s immortal warlocks.
Although Moonlit was well-known in the China competition zone, he was

still a bit short of some firepower when it came to the global scene.
The audience in the meeting room were also surprised.
Gary: “Is God Xie giving up?” Although intuition said that they’d lose, they
didn’t have to lose so straightforwardly!
Yuan Ze tried to save face for himself. “It should be a new routine.”
It was rare, but Wei Xiao agreed with Yuan Ze. “It’s possible to have the
medicine warlock play in the mid-lane.”
This was actually a very interesting setup.
The two teams had both taken the medicine warlock: EVE’s Xie He, and
Y1’s Yan Jiang.
They’d taken the same profession and talent, but one was using the
medicine warlock to play in the mid-lane, while the other was using it to
play support.
Not only did they find it interesting, but the audience at the arena were
obviously thrilled as well.
No matter whose fans they were, they all liked to watch the excitement.
They were old teammates who’d now become enemies and had taken the
same hero. The scent of gunpowder was extremely heavy!
Xie He really deserved to be the number one prickly thorn in Glory.
He hadn’t taken the medicine warlock for any other reason than to show it
off in front of Yan Jiang’s face. He wanted to tell the world that Yan Jiang
wasn’t the only one who could play the medicine warlock well!
This battle of freedom.
He was completely freeing himself up and doing as he pleased!
There was a skirmish in the jungle zone at the start of the game as both
sides started fighting at level two. The medicine warlock from both sides
could both deal poison and heal, making this wave of back and forth very
thrilling.
This fight finally ended with both sides losing one kill. The junglers from
both sides were the ones to die.
At first glance, it seemed that EVE had taken a bit of the advantage,
because First Blood had gone to Xie He!
Yuan Ze crossed his arms over his chest and watched calmly.
Old G sighed. “EVE’s First Blood really means they won’t win.”
Yuan Ze wasn’t calm anymore: Would you f*cking die if you didn’t talk!
Old G continued explaining, “Really, it’s very magical, every time God Xie
takes First Blood, EVE will start to stray… wu…”
Yuan Ze stuffed a piece of watermelon into his mouth.
Gary blinked.
Yuan Ze: “Shut up.”
Wei Xiao made a pft sound and laughed out loud: It was such a happy thing
seeing evil people suffer a loss!
By six or seven minutes into the game, the difference between the two
medicine warlocks gradually became clear.
Xie He’s medicine warlock was an absolute mid-laner talent. It had strong
magic attacks and strong ranged damage. It was clearly a talent that didn’t
have high explosive power, no control, and no movement skills, but Xie He
was able to play out an assassin mage talent effect with it, like the immortal
warlock, butterfly warlock, or spirit mage.
Y1’s mid-laner was miserable but couldn’t say anything. It was shameful to
take an assassin mage yet be suppressed like this!
After suppressing the mid-laner until they collapsed, Xie He once again
went to make trouble in the top lane.
EVE’s jungler and Xie He cooperated very well. He’d just finished clearing
up the small jungle creeps by the river and had snuck his way along the
grass.
Three against one, Y1’s top-laner was done for!
EVE must have thought so, but the audience who were watching from
God’s perspective were very nervous.
There wasn’t only Y1’s top-laner in the top lane. Yan Jiang had led his own
jungler with him and went behind Xie He and his jungler. When Xie He
used his skills and rushed towards Y1’s top-laner, Y1’s jungler also
pounced on him!
The mantis catches the cicada, but the yellow sparrow lurks behind!
This wave of ganking was amazing!
The director gave them a close up. Xie He’s medicine warlock was in its
dark form, and Yan Jiang’s was in its light form.
The medicine warlock had two forms. One was the pale and cold duke of
the castle, and the other was a sacred physician shrouded in holy light.
The dark and light sides of the same skin appeared in the canyon at the
same time like twins resulting in a very beautiful scene.
Wei Xiao and the others had turned off the live scrolling comments, but if it
was on, they would be able to see all the fans’ shrill screams!
Yan Jiang and Xie He.
The physician and the duke.
Light and dark.
Quiet and violent.
All strung together by the medicine warlock talent!
EVE suffered heavy losses in this wave of encirclement and suppression.

Although they were able to kill Y1’s top-laner, they’d lost two people from
their own side and a third had been left in critical health. They had no way
to protect their top-lane tower.
Once Y1 tore open a gap, EVE would fall into a completely passive
situation.
What was fatal was that a team like EVE was most afraid of being tied up
like this.
Y1 wouldn’t give up an advantage like this that hadn’t been easy to obtain
and showed an unprecedentedly strong play style. Their mid-jungler-
support linkage reached new extremes and completely occupied half of
EVE’s jungler zone. Not only that, they beat up the bottom lane’s
marksman until they remained hidden behind their tower.
The competition zone championship hung on a fine line.
No one wanted to lose!
They were both champion teams and had the same pride, the same desire to
win.
Although it was unknown what was said over team chat, EVE miraculously
calmed down and began to look for opportunities.
Even if they had to give up a portion of their resources, even if they had to
give up advantages along one of their lanes, even if their farm difference
continued to increase, they still managed to stabilize their mentalities, like a
cheetah holding its breath in the grass, waiting and looking for the best
opportunity.
The game was about operations.
But it was also about opportunities.
There were plenty of games where the tables had turned despite a gap in
farm of over 8000 gold.
There was infinite opportunity up until that last moment when the crystal
exploded!
Finally, 20 minutes into the game, EVE found an opportunity. Their jungler
pounced on Y1’s mid-laner who’d moved a bit too far forward. Their
support, who was following Xie He, gave the whole team a speed buff and
caught Y1 off guard with their arrival.
Even Yan Jiang was unable to prevent this kind of sudden death.
Their mid-laner fell, and their marksman was sniped at. Y1’s jungler
launched a set of skills but was offset by Xie He’s switch to his light
form…
Three people from Y1 died in a row. Yan Jiang managed to save their top-
laner who had high health and defense, as well as their jungler, who had
multiple movement skills.
The commentator’s voice was filled with passion, “Beautiful! EVE did a
great round there!”
The director displayed a chart that showed the trend of their gold and
overall farm. EVE, which had been on the downturn the whole way,
gradually rose up because of this round of team fighting. Additionally, they
had cleared out the jungler zone and the ancient creature after winning the
team fight and reduced their farm gap up from 6000 to 2000.
The total farm gap between the two teams was now only 2000, which was a
totally acceptable difference. As long as they were given another chance,
EVE could even surpass Y1!
Tension was mounting.
Both sides lost all their outer towers, and they mutually avoided each
other’s vision. The attention and focus of all ten players could be felt
through the screen.
No matter which side gained the advantage, regardless of which team it was
that initiated the same conditions as last time again, it would signal the end
of the game.
29 minutes.
30 minutes.
31 minutes.
35 minutes…
The ten players in full gear collided a total of seven times, and it was in
vain each time. They didn’t even manage to consume a single resurrection
armor.
If it went on like this…
A fight over the ultimate dragon king would determine the winner.
Y1 moved first and started fighting the dragon. EVE clearly knew that they
were being lured out, but they couldn’t just ignore the situation.
If they lost the dragon king, then EVE would be done for. They had to fight
to the end this time regardless of whether or not it was a trap!
EVE’s five players appeared on camera. Their jungler, CC, was their team
commander.
His expression was heavy, and it could be seen from the way his mouth
moved that he was calling out ‘Xie’.
The medicine warlock went up!
Xie He took the lead to rush in, locking in on Y1’s marksman and mage
despite having no advance vision.
Due to the terrain in the dragon pit, the positions of the two had to be
relatively close. The medicine warlock enchanted himself, using Infusion
and Render, then finally landed Heaven’s Punishment accurately on the two
c-position players from Y1.
It was a series of skills that went out like floating clouds and flowing water,
so amazing that it made people’s scalps go numb.
They all watched as Y1’s double c-positions’ health plummeted and they
were near a seriously injured state.
And the holy light that was the counterpart to this evil light rose up. The
same enchantment landed on those same teammates, and the same Infusion
and Render was cast on their bodies, followed by another Heaven’s
Punishment, which landed on Xie He’s body!
Yan Jiang’s medicine warlock could save lives and heal the wounded, but it
could also kill people without leaving a single trace.
In this short five to six second period, the HP of these three people who’d
collided together went up and down like a roller coaster, plummeting,
soaring, and then plummeting again…
This heart racing kind of play was already enough to make people’s scalps
go numb. What the hell was this double heart racing play!
The watching fans forgot to breathe; that was how thrilling the ten players
in the canyon were!
System announcements rang out one after another.
Y1’s marksman died.
EVE’s jungler died.
Y1’s mid-laner died.
EVE’s marksman died.
……
The last to fall was Xie He, who’d taken a double kill, and the last person
still standing was Yan Jiang, who managed to survive with the tiniest sliver
of health.
The entire venue broke out in fierce applause, and the audience all stood up
to appreciate this wonderful battle!
The championship belonged to Y1.
In this year’s European competition zone, Y1 lit up the whole stage!
xiin: and… we’re back. sorry about the extra-long break & thank you for
being so patient while i’ve been busy <3 i’m going to give myself leeway to
do releases every other day in july to get my stockpiles back up again, and
then august will be back to daily releases so that ya’ll can get your daily
doses of Wei Xiao crack~
Ch206.2 - Was this a battle between
teams?
Yan Jiang still looked the same after winning the championship. He didn’t
look happy nor sad, just like a calm old monk.
Regarding this…
Everyone was already over it.
Xie He frowned, and the big guy beside him was startled when he stood up.
“Xie…….”
Xie He: “We’ll fight again in the globals.”
As the competition zone that had produced last year’s global championship
team, the European competition zone had two spots this year.
Both the champion and runner up team from their competition zone could
enter the globals.
It was also this privilege that had made the fight for this year’s global
competition more intense.
Was this a battle between teams?
No, it was a fight for the glory of the entire competition zone!
There was no doubt that Yuan Ze had lost.
Wei Xiao looked at him. “Captain Yuan?”

Captain Yuan was grumpy. “Useless things!”
These words could only be said in private. If they were really heard by God
Xie, it would turn into real person PK for sure.
It just happened that the camera was now focused on the interview. God
Xie, who’d just lost the game, still had a strong presence about him. It was
as though the whole venue was his home, and Y1 was just a little ant that he
would step on sooner or later.
“In the global competition, EVE will definitely defeat Y1.”
So what if he lost? These harsh words still had to be sent out.
Xie He’s character drew both fans and haters.
The haters cursed him to death, and his fans loved him to death. Both sides
were extreme.
Wei Xiao pondered for a moment when he heard this. “I’ve decided to help
God Xie and Captain Yan out.”
Yuan Ze picked up the joke out of habit. “How?”
Wei Xiao: “If EVE and Y1 are eliminated in advance, they won’t have to
fight!”
Those seated who understood Chinese: “…………”
They shouldn’t complain about Xie He. This guy from their own team was
even more crazy!
Out of the major competition zones, China was the only one still competing
for first and second place.
As the host for this year’s global competition, the champion teams from
each of the other competition zones had already set up their flight tickets
one after another in order to arrive ahead of time.
The competition committee was very busy, especially the China
competition zone branch.
The domestic finals had to be set up beautifully as people from all over the
world would also be watching the game.
This finals game was the warm-up to the global finals, and it was even
being held at the same venue.
They had to show off the scale and ability of their competition zone, and
they mustn’t lose face.
While they made it a bigger event, it also made this competition in China
into a global highlight.
Captain Yuan, who’d lost the bet, made an appointment for a training match
with TPT.
Unexpectedly, Kim Sung-hyun called Lu Feng before they started playing.
“Your opponents are very strong, hey.”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Kim Sung-hyun cleared his throat. “We had a training session with them.
Seven matches, four wins.”
Pro was the team who had four wins, of course. But the fact that TPT was
able to take three wins meant that they weren’t very average at all.
Lu Feng nodded. “TPT has grown up this year.”
Kim Sung-hyun and Lu Feng had a good relationship, and the proud flower
didn’t feel as much guilt as the others, so he’d occasionally kept in touch
with Lu Feng over the past three years.
During the era of the Team of Gods, Kim Sung-hyun had already decided to
leave a long time ago. He’d originally been sold to China and had wanted to
return when the contract expired. There was nothing to find fault with there.
Of course, while that might be the truth, it didn’t prevent his heart from
feeling uncomfortable. So, Kim Sung-hyun had also given up on the singles
competition.
What was more unexpected was the way Kim Sung-hyun focused on
Eurostar.
Basically, any team that played against TPT would have a strong
impression of Fu Li.
This player was really special, both similar to Yan Jiang and yet not. He
was both a player and coach, and his overall strength in the canyon was too
exaggerated.
It was probably because Kim Sung-hyun was an ADC that he was more
sensitive to Eurostar.
“He took six different marksman heroes over seven games, and each one
was played well. He’s especially good at hiding from junglers, and it made
our own jungler look like a big bull that was stomping around everywhere.”
“I don’t know what he’s been through, but his nose is as sensitive as a dog’s
and he’s always able to dodge away by a step before anyone reveals
themselves…”
Kim Sung-hyun’s early experience was quite fierce. He’d been nicknamed
proud flower, but he hadn’t actually been a greenhouse flower that was
protected by everyone.
When he was in the Team of Gods, he wouldn’t be able to eat even a fart if
he couldn’t snatch it for himself (naturally, no one would want to eat farts).
So, he never cowered and was taken by surprise by the cowardly baby
Eurostar, refreshing his understanding of the position.
After listening to him, Lu Feng added a sentence, “He has a good

relationship with Quiet.”
Kim Sung-hyun was stunned.

Lu Feng: “The two of them solo together often.”
He got it. At the same time, he also felt a bit of heartache; no wonder he
was so sensitive, no wonder Park Guizhi was unable to catch him.
With Little Lunatic Wei training him up, he’d already become a god by not
giving up on the game.
After chatting about TPT, Kim Sung-hyun changed the topic and finally got
to the key point.
“I heard that Yuan Ze is living at your place?”
Regardless of whether it was the old or the new base, it was still their place.
Kim Sung-hyun cleared his throat and said cautiously, “We booked our
tickets for tomorrow.”
Lu Feng: “I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up.” They were all old
friends, and he would definitely help with this small thing.
Kim Sung-hyun hinted, “We haven’t confirmed where we’re staying yet.”
This crazy hinting was almost explicit. Kim Sung-hyun continued, “Any
recommendations?”
Lu Feng understood Kim Sung-hyun very well. At this time, if he continued

to act as though he didn’t understand, it was very likely that he would come
over and blow up the base in anger.
“You don’t mind living with Yuan Ze?” Lu Feng asked him.
Kim Sung-hyun coughed dryly. “What’s there to mind? Didn’t we live
together during the winter training camp.”
Lu Feng: “Oh.”
Kim Sung-hyun was anxious. “So, is there anywhere to live or not?”
Lu Feng: “…… Yes.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Then, we’ll…”
Lu Feng: “As long as you’re willing.”
Kim Sung-hyun was delighted: Little Close was still more clever and
sensible!
It was easy for L&P to arrange a training match with TPT.
TPT’s manager agreed as soon as they offered, without even asking the
players’ opinions. Naturally, the players didn’t have any objections.
There were some default rules for training matches. They wouldn’t share
the replay with others, but Wei Xiao and the others didn’t need to wait to
watch the replay…
They squatted directly in the training room.
This was a bit underhanded, but the really underhanded one was Fu Li.
They played three training games, and L&P won them all easily.
Old G: “That’s it?” He’d learned a new phrase and was quickly making use
of it.
Yuan Ze went straight to the point. “They’re obviously not trying their
best.”
Gary: “That’s right… the whole network knows where we live.”

Fu Li would be possessed if he wasn’t on guard against them.
Wei Xiao disdained Yuan Ze. “It’s your fault.”
Yuan Ze: “???”
Wei Xiao glared at him. “If you weren’t living at FTW, they would let loose
and play properly.”
FTW was definitely ambitious. How would they give up on the opportunity
to train against L&P? This was clearly because they were afraid of alerting
FTW.
Yuan Ze was choked half to death by his words. “If I wasn’t living at
FTW…” Would I still be making an appointment for a training match for
you at all?!
Wei Xiao: “Sigh, God Kim is still better, and he’s also better with giving
oral accounts.”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”
It really was a case of the later generations suppressing the older ones and
killing them off. What kind of fengshui did FTW have? How had they
raised up such players where each player was only more beastly than the
last?
There were two days left before the national finals.
FTW was in a good state overall. They’d practiced many new routines over
several training match sessions, and their top-jungler linkage had gradually
been honed to its essence, while the overall progress of their team had been
speedy.
However, if a problem had to be identified with their team, there was one.
Little Ning had been an uneasy state these past few days.
Previously, for the semi-finals against 3U, Wei Xiao had trained hard with
Yue Wenle and forcibly grinded out his survival ability so that he would be
able to hold up the bottom lane, win against Brother Sleep, and take a
quadrakill to win their ticket to the finals.
This time, when they were up against Fu Li, there would undoubtedly be a
lot of pressure on the middle lane.
But Wei Xiao hadn’t shown the slightest intention to polish Ning Zhehan.
Little Ning was introverted, stopping just short of speaking about it a few
times. Brother Cai discovered it and asked Wei Xiao privately, “Aren’t you
going to train Brother Ning?”
Wei Xiao looked at him. “How did our Little Ning provoke you?”
He spoke bad-temperedly, “We’re about to fight against TPT. Aren’t you

going to train him a bit? Like you did with Old Yue.”
Wei Xiao: “Little Ning isn’t Old Yue.”
Brother Cai grew curious. “What, is Little Ning better than Old Yue?”
This was a bit of a touchy question.
Wei Xiao was very keen. “What, did Little Ning go looking for you?”
Bai Cai: “No, but I think he’s a little flustered.”
Wei Xiao thought about it briefly. “I’ll go talk to him.”
Unexpectedly, Ning Zhehan came to find him even before Wei Xiao went
looking for him.
Little Ning, who was the youngest on the team and the least experienced,
also had the smallest amount of courage.
But he summoned up his courage and called out to Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao felt both amusement and heartache when he saw him like this.
“What?”
Ning Zhehan’s granny gray hair had faded, showing wisps of a golden
color. “I… I want to solo!”
Wei Xiao: “You want assault style training?”
Ning Zhehan nodded hard. “Yes!”
Wei Xiao didn’t say anything.
Ning Zhehan added hurriedly, “I’m not afraid; I’m not afraid of anything!”
As long as he didn’t drag the team down, as long as they could win the
finals, as long as they could obtain the global competition quota, he could
deal with unlimited bitterness!
Wei Xiao lowered his voice and said softly, “No need.”
Ning Zhehan was stunned and looked up abruptly, meeting his gaze with
eyes filled with panic.
What did he mean…
What did ‘no need’ mean…
Was it that solo wouldn’t help him improve? Was it that he wouldn’t be able
to get stronger in a couple of days? Was it that he…
Half a second of time was enough for Ning Zhehan’s face to turn ghostly
pale.
Wei Xiao finished his words, “Just keep up the status quo.”
Ning Zhehan was in a daze, his brain filled with cotton.

Wei Xiao sighed. “This is the countermeasure that we came up with after
discussing it with the captain. I originally didn’t want to tell you, but…”
Since he was already this nervous, it would be more detrimental not to say
it.
Ning Zhehan stuttered and asked, “What countermeasure?”
Wei Xiao: “The countermeasure is to remain the same without changing,

using the simplest Little Ning to deal with the most slippery Old Fu Li.”
xiin: the simplest Little Ning~

Ch207.1 - The truth is what seduces
people.
Ning Zhehan was dazed for a beat, then finally came up with a sentence,
“So it’s like a king level player trying to predict a bronze?”
There were several ranking segments in Glory, of which the highest was
king and the lowest was bronze. Translated to layman terms, this referred to
a super-god level player facing a rookie baby. It wasn’t easy to predict what
they’d do at all.
Wei Xiao flicked him on the forehead. “What are you thinking! You’re a
national server mage king!”
Little Ning had gotten several national server rankings even before he had
entered the team, and his strength was solid. Otherwise, FTW wouldn’t
have paid so much to sign him on.
Little Ning’s lips couldn’t help but curve up. “Then, you’re saying that I
have a simple brain that just happens to restrain the clever Captain Fu?”
This child, how come he liked disparaging himself so much?
Wei Xiao was sincere and earnest. “This is called: an instinctive player has
a heavenly advantage over a godly calculator.”
In fact, the meaning was similar, but this sounded a little more grand. Ning
Zhehan was now completely unable to hold down the corners of his lips as
they curved up, straight towards the sun. “So that’s how it is…”
Ahhhhh, he was happy enough to explode! The captain and Brother Xiao
hadn’t given up on him, and the reason they hadn’t given him special
training was so that he could play out a better effect. It turned out that he
just had to be himself to make the biggest contribution to the team!
Wei Xiao: “So, you’re our killer trump card, got it?”
Ning Zhehan stood up straight and stopped just short of giving a salute.
“Got it!”
Wei Xiao patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction. “If you’re bored and
flustered, there’s a special training course I can hand over to you.”
Little Ning was excited. “Tell me, Brother Xiao, I can definitely do it well!”
Wei Xiao: “Go to the training program and practice last hitting soldiers.
You don’t have to do too much, just 300 rounds.”
Last hitting soldiers was a basic skill for players, but it was also something
that had to be trained up well.
Ning Zhehan’s last hit level was okay, but there was no upper limit when it
came to this kind of thing.
If he could occupy the absolute advantage for his soldier line, then his
opponent would have to suffer death, regardless of whether they were a
human or a ghost.
Little Ning was dazed for half a second before realizing. “I get it! Last
hitting soldiers is also a subconscious instinct. I have to consciously last hit
soldiers so that it becomes a subconscious habit. This way, I’ll have more
advantages when facing Captain Fu in the lane!”
Wei Xiao: “…… Cough.”
Ning Gazed at him with stars in his eyes. “Am I right?”
Wei Xiao, who’d just wanted to find him something to do so that he

wouldn’t panic, felt a little guilty. “Yes, that’s it.” But his tone didn’t hold
the slightest hint of guilt.
Little Ning rushed away happily, muttering before leaving, “300 rounds is
too few, I want to challenge 600.”
Fine then, at least last hitting more lane soldiers wouldn’t do any harm.
Brother Cai, who’d been concerned about Ning Zhehan recently, afraid that
something would happen with this cub, was surprised to find that granny
gray was now filled with ambition, spirit, and vigor.
Bai Cai went to find Wei Xiao. “What kind of enchanted soup did you feed
Little Ning?”
This was too amazing. Had there even been ten minutes between the
‘before’ and the ‘after’? The Little Ning who’d been wilting and withering
had turned into a big tree that shot up to the sky!
Wei Xiao glanced at him. “What enchantment are you talking about? Don’t
make up gossip about me.”
He had a vinegar king at home and had to be careful.
Bai Cai was too lazy to retort and asked, “What exactly did you say to him?
It was more effective than the psychologists.”
Wei Xiao spoke calmly, “Did you think my ‘grandmaster’ name was an
empty title?”
The corner of Bai Cai’s lips twitched. “It’s not the same.”
Wei Xiao: “It amounts to the same thing.”
Brother Cai: “……………………………”
Of course, Wei Xiao still told Bai Cai what he’d said. Causing a divide in
the team because he’d kept people guessing was a low level mistake that
Wei Xiao wouldn’t make.
Bai Cai was more perceptive than Little Ning, “You’re comforting granny
gray, aren’t you?”
Wei Xiao asked him in return, “Don’t you believe in our mage king?”
Bai Cai fell silent meditatively.
Wei Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said, “Be a bit more confident.
This guy on our team is the newcomer king from last year.”
Each year, there would be excellent newcomers who stood out in the youth
training camp.
This so-called newcomer king wasn’t an official title, but it meant that a
newcomer was too strong and had been acknowledged by everyone.
Regardless of whether it was Wei Xiao from back then, or that scum man
surnamed Zhou, or even last year’s Ning Zhehan, their personal strength
was indisputable.
What Little Ning lacked most wasn’t practice or awareness, but experience
and mental strength.
Fortunately, Wei Xiao could make up for these things that he lacked.
Brother Cai breathed a sigh of relief. His expression was filled with disdain,
and his mouth went against him, but he was very much won over by Wei
Xiao in his heart.
In fact, Wei Xiao had also spent a period of time uncertain about what to do
for Ning Zhehan.
He’d been thinking about it even before the semi-finals ended.
Yue Wenle was more familiar to him. After all, they’d soloed countless
times before, and Wei Xiao had a good understanding of his character.
Afterwards, Brother Cai and Yue Wenle were partners, and Brother Cai
would regularly complain to Wei Xiao. Wei Xiao might not have been with
FTW, but he hadn’t skimped on any help he could give. After all, it was the
person behind Caicai… er, yeah.
Wei Xiao could easily mobilize Yue Wenle, but it was a little difficult when
it came to Ning Zhehan.
He’d played for a whole regular season, but Ning Zhehan had always been
middle of the pack. He hadn’t dragged anyone back, but his plays weren’t
particularly brilliant either.
It could be said that this jungler core play style has concealed his strength,
but this was also a reflection of Little Ning’s character.
Timid, cautious. He was clearly very strong on his own, but he was like a
rabbit who liked to hide in a hole, lacking self confidence.
When faced with such a Ning Zhehan, soloing would only be

counterproductive.
Then, what should be done?
Wei Xiao racked his brains over it for many days.
Lu Feng watched and noticed his every move. “It’s so late, but your brain is
full of other men. Is that appropriate?”
He’d just finished washing up, and his body was still damp. He deliberately
moved closer to Wei Xiao as he spoke, making Wei Little Xiao’s ears grow
a little red from excitement.
Ning-something didn’t exist anymore. Wei Xiao turned around and wrapped
his arms around his neck.
Lu Feng bowed his head and kissed him.
Wei Xiao hummed under his breath, his hands acting very dishonest.
Lu Feng kissed him, but it didn’t prevent him from holding down this
disobedient hand.
Wei Xiao wanted to break free, and Lu Feng intertwined their fingers
together.
“!”
Wei Xiao stared at their joined hands. “Captain, you’re too sneaky.”
How would he be willing to pull his hand out like this? But how could he
tease him if his hand wasn’t free?
Lu Feng laughed and said, “Alright, don’t mess around.”
It was alright when he didn’t say it, but once he did, Wei Little Xiao grew
The two of them were on the sofa. Wei Xiao pushed until Lu Feng toppled
over, then sat down astride him.
Wei Xiao pulled at his collar, his roguish act very well executed.
Unfortunately, when he saw the scene beneath his body, his face suddenly
flushed red––
Wide shoulders, narrow waist, perfect lines on his chest and abdomen. It
was so perfect that it made people want to eat it up.
The one lying there was clearly Lu Feng, but he was as calm as ever except
for the fire burning in his dark eyes.
Wei Xiao’s heart started pounding, letting his mouth run instead of
admitting his loss, “You, what are you… me!”
Lu Feng held him and exerted a little effort. Wei Xiao cried out and fell on
him.
The world flipped around, and Wei Xiao became the one lying on the sofa.
Lu Feng kissed him, his long fingers sliding under his clothes.
Wei Xiao gasped, his eyes open wide.
It wasn’t until Wei Xiao’s eyes were overflowing with tears that Lu Feng
kissed the tip of his nose. “This is me doing it.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
When faced with a boyfriend who was getting better and better at it, what
should Wei Little Xiao do!
He could only toss away his armor and cry and moan.
After mutually ‘helping each other out’, Wei Xiao was dissatisfied when
they went back to bed, “I’ve almost forgotten how it feels to really… wu…”
He was the one who would cry out in pain, but the one who caused trouble
was him, too.
Lu Feng held him in his arms and distracted him, “Worried about Ning
Zhehan?”
The one who understood Wei Little Xiao the best was naturally the great
demon king. These words weren’t false at all.
Wei Xiao settled down. He avoided his left shoulder out of habit, finding a
comfortable position before saying, “A little.”
Lu Feng: “A little?”
Wei Xiao emphasized, “A little times a million.”
Lu Feng rubbed his hair. “It’s not that exaggerated.”
Wei Xiao sighed. “Little Ning has too little experience, and his mentality
fluctuates too easily.”
This was the so-called ‘outsiders seeing things more clearly than those
involved’ phenomenon.
It was Wei Xiao who cheered Ning Zhehan up every time, but Wei Xiao
was very worried about his mentality.
Lu Feng spoke in a low voice, “If I’m the one playing jungler, then Ning
Zhehan would indeed have problems.”
Wei Xiao couldn’t bear to hear anyone saying that Close was bad, including
Close himself. “Although you don’t love playing jungler, you’re super
strong as a jungler!”
Lu Feng corrected him deliberately, “I love junglers.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
When he realized that this ‘jungler’ was himself, his heart felt sweet enough
to explode.
“Captain, if you continue like this, I’m going to…”
Lu Feng pinched him. “Enough.”
Wei Xiao: “You’re the one who seduced me first.”
Lu Feng: “Am I wrong?”
“The truth is what seduces people.”
“So I should tell lies in the future?”
“You don’t know how to tell lies, you only know to say words of love.”
Lu Feng laughed briefly, then brought the topic back, “With you there,
there’ll be no problems with Ning Zhehan.”
Wei Xiao was a player who could adjust his teammates’ states when
needed.
Wei Xiao’s heart still didn’t feel relieved. “Old Fu’s not simple. If Little
Ning goes up against him straight on, it’s really…”
To be honest, Wei Xiao wouldn’t panic even if Ning Zhehan was going up
against Moonlit.
If it came to an outright fight over skills, Little Ning wasn’t lacking in

anything; Ning Zhehan himself was clear about his lack of experience, and
he could coax him even if he came up a little short.
But Fu Li…
Ch207.2 - If I die at Kim Sung-
hyun’s hands, I’d still make a
fashionable ghost.
Lu Feng said, “It’s not necessarily a bad thing.”
Wei Xiao lifted his head up to look at him. “Hm?”
Lu Feng said, “Have you played chess before?”
Wei Xiao shook his head. He’d been focused on making a living from a
young age and hadn’t cultivated any hobbies. Gaming had been an
unexpected surprise.
Lu Feng had thought of this too. He kissed the tips of his hair in distress and
said gently, “Playing chess usually involves calculating three different paths
with each step.”
Wei Xiao: “I get it! You mean thinking many steps ahead with every step.”
“There’s no need to think so many steps ahead.”
Wei Xiao was a curious little baby. “What do you mean?”
“For example, if the two of us are playing chess. I know how to play, but
you don’t.”
“I really don’t know how to play, but, captain, you can do anything!”
Lu Feng didn’t get distracted by his words and went on, “I can play chess,
and Fu Li knows how to play chess. If the two of us play, he’ll calculate
what I’ll do three steps ahead, while I calculate four steps ahead. In that
case, I’ll win.”
Wei Xiao nodded.
Lu Feng continued, “If we switch people, and I play chess with you. I’ll
calculate three steps ahead, but you don’t calculate a single step. Who will
win?”
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up. He got it!
To put it bluntly, this was a hierarchy problem. To win over a person, it was
best if you were one level higher than them. If your level was too high, then
it wouldn’t work.
For example, the question of whether to go left or right.
A level one person would go left.
A second level person would guess that the level one person would go to
the left, so he would go to the right.
The third level person would guess that the second level person would go
right, so he would go left.
So, what was the difference in choice between the person on level one and
level three?
Ning Zhehan and Fu Li’s situation was similar.
The difference between them was definitely more than one level.
So, a Ning Zhehan who hadn’t changed at all, would be the most difficult
for Fu Li to deal with.
Wei Xiao understood now and was fully convinced about his boyfriend’s
strength, “It’s still the captain who is most amazing!” Fortunately, there
wasn’t anyone nearby. Otherwise, Wei Little Xiao would be able to praise
him for half an hour.
Lu Feng pressed him down. “Can you sleep now?”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved, “How about ‘Captain’ acts even more amazingly?”
Regardless of how amazing it was, there still came a time when Wei Little
Xiao started crying.
After coaxing Wei Xiao to sleep, Lu Feng went up to the balcony to stand
under the night wind.
The domestic champion, the national champion.
Could they really go all the way to the end?
Would there really be freedom if they went all the way to the end?
Lu Feng dropped his gaze and looked at the plum tree leaves that had
already withered in the garden.
Pro arrived in S City. Lu Feng arranged for the van to go and pick them up
from the airport, and Yuan Ze took over this heavy responsibility, saying
that he couldn’t just live there for nothing, and he should do some work to
contribute.
Wei Xiao: “You’re not afraid that God Kim will kill you?”
Yuan Ze just wanted to see Kim Sung-hyun collapse and didn’t care about
his death. “If I die at Kim Sung-hyun’s hands, I’d still make a fashionable
ghost.”
He couldn’t compare with him. He was a real living gay, but he was losing
to those straight men!
Yuan Ze personally went to pick them up, giving the cubs from Pro a scare
as they hurriedly greeted him.
Yuan Ze’s Korean was extremely fluent, and he soon won over Park Guizhi
and the others.
Li Heran was older than Yuan Ze and wasn’t as polite.
Yuan Ze asked him, “How’s your wrist been recently?”
Kim Sung-hyun replied, “Don’t worry, it won’t be a problem to play until

you retire.”
Yuan Ze was in a good mood and didn’t get angry. “In that case, you have
to hold on for a few more years.”
Kim Sung-hyun crossed his hands over his chest and looked at him. “How
come you came to pick me up?”
Yuan Ze: “Can’t I have missed you?”
Kim Sung-hyun was disgusted. “You missed a fart!”
Yuan Ze: “Why are you saying that you’re a fart?”
Yuan Ze was afraid of beating the grass and scaring away the snake and
placated him, “I can’t just live at FTW for nothing. Helping to pick
someone up from the airport isn’t a big deal. Besides, we know each other
so well.”
Kim Sung-hyun couldn’t bear it anymore. He used Chinese to complain,

“Old Shit Yuan, you’re really disgusting today.”
Yuan Ze replied in Korean, “That’s right, I’ve always been so handsome.”
The Pro team who couldn’t understand Chinese, “…………” What are you
guys talking about?!
Kim Sung-hyun was too lazy to pay attention to him and spoke to Li Heran,
“Change seats.” He’d originally been the one sitting in the aisle.
Li Heran got up.
Kim Sung-hyun sat inside, closed his eyes, and kept his mind clear, paying
no further attention to Dog Yuan.
One of Yuan Ze’s hobbies was teaching people to speak Chinese. This car
was filled with foreign friends who had to be treated well.
So…
“Come on, I’ll teach you guys how to read Kim Sung-hyun’s name in
Chinese.”
Park Guizhi was very enthusiastic. “How?”
Yuan Ze: “Ass Kim.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Yuan Ze!”
Yuan Ze: “What are you calling me for, Ass Kim?”
If it hadn’t been for Li Heran blocking the way, Kim Sung-hyun would’ve
kicked him out of the car!
They finally arrived at the base. Yuan Ze was inspired by Wei Xiao’s trick
and deliberately had the driver stop at the new FTW base.
The crowd from Pro enjoyed the sight of the FTW castle and let out
surprised exclamations.
They’d really been lucky with the land allocations, to be approved for such
a large ‘manor’!
Kim Sung-hyun had already had enough of Yuan Ze and wanted to get off
the car.
Yuan Ze smiled like a fox. “We’re not there yet.”

Park Guizhi was surprised. “Are we driving in directly?”
Yuan Ze smiled and didn’t say a word.
Kim Sung-hyun really knew him, and his heart couldn’t help but stutter.
“Old Bandit…”
Yuan Ze: “Yes?” He replied very smoothly.
Kim Sung-hyun: “You……”
When they finally arrived at the base, Kim Sung-hyun exploded on the spot.
“Dog Shit Yuan!”
Yuan Ze didn’t hear a thing.
Kim Sung-hyun: “Are you f*cking human!”
He really wasn’t.
It had been three years. How could God Kim have forgotten what his old
teammate was like?
The welcome banquet was very grand. The three teams together added up to
nearly 20 people, and it hadn’t been easy to book such a large table.
There was a lazy susan in the middle of the table, with a beautiful
centerpiece of flowing water and flowers.
lazy susan – those round spinning things that sit at the middle of big tables
The advantage of such a big table was that people could sit far away from
each other. For example, the length of the whole table separated God Kim
from Captain Yuan. It was the furthest they could get from each other while
still being on the same table.
Nobody in Pro had any opinions about living at FTW’s old base.
The base was large enough, and it had been tidied up thoroughly. The most
important thing was that it was equipped with everything they needed and
wasn’t inferior to living on their own base. It was also more convenient than
staying at a hotel.
After Kim Sung-hyun calmed down, Li Heran spoke, “The hotel we

contacted before still has free rooms.”
Kim Sung-hyun shook his head. “We’ll live here.”
Li Heran: “You ……”
Kim Sung-hyun held onto the railing, looking out at this familiar, yet
strange scene. He sighed, “It’s quite nice this way.”
The place where it started, the place where it ended.
Although he still wanted to kill Yuan Ze, he was also a little grateful.
Perhaps this would be their last reunion, and their last time living together
under one roof.
It was really quite nice, being here.
Given that there was still some time before the global competition, L&P
and Pro both drank a bit of beer.
It turned out that, when it came to smoking, professional players could each
smoke enough for ten people. But when it came to drinking… ten of them
couldn’t drink as much as one ordinary person.
Alcohol tolerance was something that had to be trained up. Alcohol was
banned when they had to play professionally, so none of them were good at
it.
After downing half a glass of beer into his belly, Kim Sung-hyun began to
rage at Yuan Ze for not being a person.
Yuan Ze smiled like a fox. “How about you pull someone else in with you?”
Yan Jiang and Xie He were also on the way. It seemed like they wanted to
arrive before the domestic finals in China were held.
Kim Sung-hyun was exasperated. “Who! Give me a name!”
Yuan Ze: “Cough……”
It really wasn’t easy to come up with a name. Yan Jiang wasn’t likely to fall
for it, and they couldn’t afford to provoke Xie He.
Kim Sung-hyun looked like an aloof and cold proud flower, and while Xie
He looked like he was 1.7 meters, he was actually 2.8 meters. He couldn’t
be provoked, couldn’t be provoked at all.
He couldn’t pull someone else in with him, but Kim Sung-hyun still ordered
Yuan Ze, “Don’t expose it.”
Yuan Ze got it. “We definitely can’t let them know where we’re living.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Especially me!”
Yuan Ze: “Got it.”
Kim Sung-hyun didn’t believe him and threatened him directly, “If you
expose me, I’ll…”
Yuan Ze: “What will you do?”
Kim Sung-hyun: “I’ll post you up all over the internet!”
Yuan Ze was quite curious. “Post what?”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Post up the naked photos of you from three years ago.”
Yuan Ze was really shocked. “F*ck me, you really kept it!”
Kim Sung-hyun was finally able to win one round and was in a great mood.
Wei Xiao, who hadn’t touched any wine and was drinking watermelon
juice, asked Lu Feng, “They……”
Lu Feng peeled a crab leg for him and placed it on his plate. “They’re the
same even when they don’t drink.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
The Team of Gods from back then was a sand sculpture team in essence!
Yan Jiang and Xie He both arrived one day before the finals.
At this time, everyone in FTW was already in closed up training and wasn’t
seeing anyone, not even if they were the king of heaven.
For them to pick this time to arrive meant that they likely weren’t thinking
about ‘revisiting old times’.
After all, in terms of relationships, these two weren’t as close to Close as

Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun were.
Coupled with how they’d been in a separate group for the winter training
camp, it made them even more distant.
Xie He contacted Kim Sung-hyun after he landed.
As the most prickly person in the team, Xie He’s relationship with everyone
was pretty much the same. However, when the other choice was Beast
Yuan, he still chose Proud Flower Kim.
Kim Sung-hyun went out to see him, and the two of them had a couple of
drinks.
Xie He asked carelessly, “Where are you guys staying?”
Kim Sung-hyun paused.
Xie He continued, “Is L&P living with FTW?”

This wasn’t a secret, but no one knew that Yuan Ze wasn’t living in the new
base and was living in the old base instead.
Kim Sung-hyun nodded and changed the topic.
The two talked about their situation in recent years, and then Xie He
suddenly came up with another sentence, “Did you go back to the base?”
How could Kim Sung-hyun not understand what he meant once these words
came out?
Their base could only refer to the old building from three years ago.
Xie He bowed his head and swirled his coffee cup, asking softly, “Go back
and visit it together?”
Kim Sung-hyun: “!”
The author has something to say: Proud Flower: There’s really no need! Xie
He: ……
Ch208.1 - It’s so-so. Just number
one in the world.
Go. Back. And. Visit. It. Together?
What was there to see? Watch them make a fool of themselves?
The FTW that had been ‘abandoned just like that’ three years ago was now
a place that they missed and wanted to go back to?
Proud Flower Kim didn’t need his dignity anymore?
They’d really thought it through and calculated everything thousands of

times over, but they hadn’t guessed that Xie He would take the initiative to
ask to come back and have a look.
As the ‘fiercest’ player in the team, Xie He wasn’t very sociable.
He would reply with his fists if he was laughed at for being short. If he was
ridiculed for his lack of strength, he’d arrange for a solo match. If he had
poor achievements or performed badly, he’d increase his own training by
three or four times over.
He was a fierce man who would never speak if he could fight it out instead,
yet he’d said such a thing to Kim Sung-hyun––he had to mull it over, mull
it over in detail.
Xie He missed FTW.
Once Kim Sung-hyun understood this point, a large part of his heart grew
soft.
FTW was Xie He’s first team, the place where he’d gotten his first MVP,
his first group champion, his first domestic champion, and his first global
championship.
When the Team of Gods fell apart, the pain he felt was no less than Close’s.
Close had the ability to recover, but Xie He was helpless and couldn’t even
stay in China.
Kim Sung-hyun, who’d been uprooted and sent away from home,
understood Xie He’s mood.
No matter how good a foreign team was, no matter how good their
achievements were, getting championship after championship still wasn’t as
good as being back in his home country.
The sense of sureness that came from within was what people who were
wandering outside desired the most.
Kim Sung-hyun sighed.
Xie He had already returned to his prickly self. “If you don’t want to, then
forget it.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but that he was already living there!
These words ultimately weren’t spoken out loud. After all, he was now an
Old Proud Flower, and his ego was bigger than the sky.
Kim Sung-hyun pondered over it and finally came up with an excuse, “Let’s
wait until the finals are over tomorrow.”
Xie He frowned.
Kim Sung-hyun explained, “It’s Close’s place after all. You’ll have to say
hello to him when you go.”
Although it was deserted (full of inhabitants), it was still FTW’s private
property, and they should say something if they were going for a visit.
FTW was in the midst of preparing for the finals, and it wouldn’t be good if
they pestered them with this kind of thing at this time.
Xie He paused briefly.
Kim Sung-hyun was really afraid that he’d come up with another sentence:
I’ll just take a look from the outside.
Fortunately, God Xie didn’t only want to look at the base from outside and
wanted to go in. So, he nodded and agreed, “Okay.”
Kim Sung-hyun breathed out a sigh of relief and felt like he’d escaped a
calamity.
The two of them continued chatting for a while, but soon ran out of topics.
It was obvious that Xie He had only invited Kim Sung-hyun out for one
purpose––to go back to FTW and have a look.
Once this goal was achieved, God Xie didn’t want to chat anymore.
Kim Sung-hyun tested the waters. “Then, I’ll see you tomorrow?”
Xie He got up. “Okay.”
Although Kim Sung-hyun didn’t want to continue forcing a conversation

with him either, why was Xie He’s behavior even more obvious than his
own?
He’d lost. He was unhappy.
Kim Sung-hyun went to look for Yuan Ze as soon as he went back. “Hurry
up and contact someone for a place to live – we need to move out
tomorrow.”
Yuan Ze was surprised. “Is Lulu so ruthless? Only letting us live here for
three days?”
Or was it that Little Lunatic Wei had whispered something in his ear during
their pillow talk?
Kim Sung-hyun told him about Xie He coming to visit. “If you don’t want
to lose your old face, then be quick about it.”
Yuan Ze relaxed. “Just let him come. We’ll do our best as hosts.”
Kim Sung-hyun looked at him in shock. “… Where’s your face?!”
Yuan Ze wasn’t a proud flower; old dogs didn’t need any face. “What’s the
point of face? There’s no room for him to live here even if he wants to
come.”
FTW’s old base was just a villa. L&P, Pro, and their entourages had already
filled it up. There were no vacant rooms left.
Kim Sung-hyun couldn’t answer for a moment.
Yuan Ze spoke coolly, “You move out, then. I’ll be here in any case, and I’ll
ask Old Xie if he wants to stay here when he comes over.”
Have him move out so that Xie He could move in?
Oh, it was better to just to piss him off.
Kim Sung-hyun calmed down. That’s right, what kind of face did he want
to keep? He wasn’t going to let go of this deal, and wasn’t going to move
out!
As for Xie He’s visit…
Just let him look if he wanted to!

There was no room for him even if he came for a visit!
On the eve of the national finals.
Chen Feng stopped all training as usual and told them to rest early. At the
same time, he gave them some precautions to look out for.
Xiang Liu had focused all his attention on logistics for the past two days out
of fear that the players wouldn’t be able to eat, drink, or sleep well, and it
might affect their state for the competition.
Although it wasn’t the first time they’d reached the finals, there’d been no
lessening in the amount of tension that they felt.
Even without mentioning the starters, the staff on the base were also
nervous. They had that state of mind, like parents on the eve of the college
entrance examination: cautious, flustered, and worried that even the
smallest thing could affect the candidates.
It was impossible not to sense this atmosphere. Little Ning, who’d been in a
good mood for two consecutive days, began to panic again.
Old Yue was still someone who’d gone through it all once and was
extremely stable. He was even able to coax Ning Zhehan using his own
godly logic.
“See this potato chip?”
“I see it!”
“Bite it into pieces, and you’ll be stable tomorrow.”
Brother Cai, who’d been listening from the side. “……” Damned if you
believe that.
But some people really did believe it. Little Ning accepted the potato chip
seriously, his expression solemn.
Yue Wenle encouraged him, “Bite it.”

Little Ning nodded. “Okay!”
He put the potato chip into his mouth and stared at Yue Wenle.
Old Yue’s gaze was firm.
There was a ‘crunch’ sound, and Little Ning’s eyes lit up.
Yue Wenle patted him on the shoulder and said sincerely, “Young fellow,
you’re good.”
Ning Zhehan smiled with joy, and it was clear his spirits had been lifted up
one hundred times over.
Brother Cai propped his cheek against his hand watched on

expressionlessly: He often felt out of place amongst his teammates due to
his high intelligence quotient, what should he do?
Cub Ning was happy to share this joy with others and brought a potato chip
over to Bai Cai. “Brother Cai, you should give it a try too!”
Bai Cai bit the potato chip.
Ning Zhehan clenched his fists, and his expression completely qualified for
a ‘you can do it’ expression pack.
‘Crunch’..….
Yue Wenle gave Brother Cai a thumbs up.
Brother Cai felt like there was no love in this world.
While the three little ones amused themselves, Wei Xiao had already gone
upstairs a long time ago, looking for his boyfriend to act all lovey-dovey.
“Captain~”
“Mm.”
“I’m nervous.”
“……”
“I’m afraid.”
“……”
“I’m panicking!”
Lu Feng looked up at his bright eyes. There wasn’t the slightest bit of
nerves, fear, or panic.
Of course, he also understood what Wei Xiao wanted.
Lu Feng bowed his head to give him a kiss, then looked at him. “Better?”
Wei Xiao’s cheeks were a little red, but he still took a mile after being given
an inch. “I’m not that nervous anymore, but I’m still afraid.”
Lu Feng kissed him again. “What about now?”
Wei Xiao licked his lower lip. “I’m still a little anxious.”
Lu Feng continued to kiss him.
Wei Xiao’s heart was filled with sweetness. He picked up Lu Feng’s hand
and pressed it over his heart. “It’s really frantic. You see, it’s pounding so
fast.”
Lu Feng didn’t kiss him anymore and just bowed his head to look at him.
Wei Xiao’s heart heated under his gaze, and he leaned over to peck him on
the lips. “I want that… from last night.”
Lu Feng ultimately wasn’t able to hold back. He bit at his lips and laid him
out on the bed.
There was a lot of fun to be found even if they didn’t do it all the way.
The best way to release pressure was to forget everything.
And two people who were in love were really able to make each other
forget everything.
When they came out of the bathroom, the two of them hugged each other on
the bed. Wei Xiao nestled up against Lu Feng and said in a soft voice,
“……. I want to win.”
He was no longer that happy, smiling face from before, and wasn’t joking
and messing around. This was a strong desire that came from the bottom of
his heart.
He wanted to win.
They had to win.
Win all the way to the end!
Lu Feng hugged him hard. “Mm.”
It was like Wei Xiao had heard a promise in his voice. He settled in and
went to sleep.
Lu Feng looked down at him. Wei Xiao’s scattered strands of hair fell
gently to his ears, his skin smooth and moist, but his heart was
incomparably firm despite his young age.
“It’s not a problem.” He kissed him gently, printing his thin lips against his
eyebrows. It was as light as a feather and as heavy as a brand.
The national final was scheduled for 6 p.m.
As one of the grandest events of the year, the scale for the finals was
stunning, and the venue that could hold 30,000 people was full to the brim.
Brilliant lights, wonderful sounds, and a star-studded guest list.

The warm up shows were already enough to make the audience feel like
they’d earned back the ticket price.
The two teams were already in the waiting area. Although they’d been
playing competitively for an entire season, it still felt different now the
finals had finally rolled around.
Regardless of whether it was make-up, their appearance on stage, or the

seating, there were arrangements and regulations for all of it. The
organizers remained with the teams the whole time, talking about
everything in detail.
A new member joined the crunchy chip group.
Wei Xiao: “Are these potato chips so delicious?” How come even Little
Ning was eating them?
Ning Zhehan quickly taught him the blessing of the potato chip god,
amusing Wei Xiao. “Give me a chip.”
Little Ning handed him one, and Wei Xiao held it with his lips.
Ning Zhehan was in a panic. “Brother Xiao, you have to use your own hand
to hold it in order to make that crunching sound!” He gestured with his
hands.
Wei Xiao put it into his mouth: “Crunch!”
Ning Zhehan’s expression was full of admiration. “It’s super loud, badass!”
Wei Xiao was modest. “It’s so-so. Just number one in the world.”
Brother Cai, who was to the side getting his eyebrows filled in: “…………”
Fellow teammates, can we act like normal people!
xiin: Wei Xiao: Normal people? Are they crunchy like a potato chip?
Crunch!
Ch208.2 - The sun was bright, and
glory was infinite!
These protagonists backstage were unaware that the venue was already
completely fired up outside.
The audience were all in their seats, and the invited stars had finished their
warm up. They had moved on to the replay of that year’s Glory highlights.
The naked-eye 3D special effects seemed to move the entire Glory Canyon
into the venue, leaving the audience so dazzled they kept screaming
continuously.
It didn’t feel the same from the live broadcast room, but even the online
viewers were enchanted by the beauty of this scene.
“Our competition zone has really put in a lot of effort!”
“This is a warm up for the globals.”
“Hosting the games in China was no easy feat. We naturally have to show
off fiercely!”
After these wonderful special effects, the lens seemed to inadvertently land
on the front row of the audience stands.
At first, the audience didn’t take it seriously and continued discussing

amongst themselves. It wasn’t until someone saw the scene clearly and
exclaimed in shock, “Yan, Yan…”
The live broadcast room could see it more clearly and directly exploded on
the spot!
“Holy shit! Is the whole Team of Gods here?”
“Captain Yan! God Xie! Brother Kim! Scum Man Yuan!”
“The group photo of the century! For the rest of my life! F*ck!”
“Granny, come quickly, the CP you were chasing when you were young is
sending out sugar ahhhhhh.”
The camera focused on the four former FTW starters who’d come to watch
the game.
Sitting on the far left side of the VIP seats was Yan Jiang, who looked
indifferent, his eyes cold as they swept across the camera.
Xie He sat to his right. He was leaning back in his chair, his thin body
sinking into the seat, but his posture of crossing his arms over his chest was
as arrogant as ever.
Kim Sung-hyun was to Xie He’s right. He sat upright, and his pale skin
seemed to glow in the lights.
To the far right was Yuan Ze. He was the only one who was looking directly
at the camera, and he even blinked, sending out a scum man wink that
garnered him the screams from thousands of girls in the venue.
The four from the Team of Gods had come to watch the FTW national
finals.
This may be something that old fans only dared to think about in their
dreams.
They’d broken apart, split up, and wouldn’t come in contact even if they
grew old and died.
But now…
There were people who really cried out aloud, and those whose hands shook
as they typed.
“I don’t care, they all still love Close!”
“They must love him. The youngest Lulu, the youngest brother in the team,
the Close who carried everything forward.”
“But they’re… won’t ever… won’t ever…” They couldn’t go back.
The competition committee really didn’t act human. They proceeded to put
up a promotional film at this time.
Both teams had made promotional films according to their respective

themes prior to the finals.
TPT’s theme was: born from insignificance, fighting to the peak.
A team from the very bottom, fighting all the way to the finals. TPT used
their strength to tell everyone––as long as one had a dream, their future was
infinite!
FTW was the exact opposite of TPT.
They were once the kings of their division, a team that had once been at the
peak, but they’d been ripped into, fallen, and were left full of holes.
The man standing on the ruins welcomed a new partner, a second, a third, a
fourth…
Only silhouettes could be seen in the promotional video, but viewers could
tell who they were from the outlines.
The people who’d originally still been able to hold back their tears were
completely unable to control themselves after watching this video.
Their tears burst out of their eyes, and the sound of crying tore out from
their heart and lungs.
When FTW’s team logo showed up on the screen, the entire venue was
boiling with emotion.
The five people with their backs to the audience stood shoulder to shoulder.
Five FTW marked figures came together to make a new team declaration––
The sun was bright, and glory was infinite!
The promotional films ended, and the words ‘FTW vs TPT’ hung
suspended in mid-air.
This short silence was followed by even more exciting special effects.
Holographic projections of all 11 professions in Glory appeared in the

arena, followed by their corresponding 145 talents.
Countless heroes appeared in the venue filled with 30,000 people, making
the players all scream repeatedly.
The audience in the live broadcast room were all green with envy. “If I’d
known it would be so wonderful, Laozi would’ve gone to the arena in
person even if it meant that I lost my fortune!”
“Snatching up tickets, snatching up tickets! Start snatching up tickets for

the global finals right now!”
“Is there a bigger venue than this? 30,000 people is too few!”
Some members of the audience had sharp eyes and captured the details.
“Look over there at the Team of Gods!”
“It’s distressing, old fans…”
It definitely wasn’t a coincidence and had to be a purposeful arrangement.

A team of heroes from the 145 scattered in the huge arena just happened to
appear beside the Team of Gods.
Yuan Ze’s medicine warlock, Xie He’s immortal warlock, Yuan Ze’s death
knight, Kim Sung-hyun’s gold hunter.
And… the shadow thief who stood beside the top-laner’s seat on the stage.
“This is the motherf*cking Team of Gods line-up that won the global
championship!”
“It turns out that everyone remembers…”
Three years ago, the five people shrouded in brilliant glory had won the
globals with these five heroes!
Unquestionable strength, well-deserved champions.
Their brilliance had long been recorded in history.
Having the old Team of Gods reunite in this way was enough to defeat the
tear glands of many fans, causing them to shed tears endlessly.
Not only was this a professional player’s dream, it was also the blood,
sweat, and youth of countless casual players!
As the venue darkened again, the 145 heroes turned into stars that finally
gathered together on the central stage.
The battle song began, and the players entered the stage.
The past was gone, and the future was something to look forward to.
The new FTW was as bright as the scorching sun!
Tonight was a carnival for the China competition zone, an exchange

between the past and the future, a farewell, and a brand new start!
After the host’s sonorous and powerful team introduction, the curtains
finally lifted on this final chapter of the season.
FTW vs TPT.
Who would be the winner?!
The contestants settled in and debugged their equipment. The referees

checked it over…
The process was no different between the finals and normal competitions,
but there were more spectators, the venue was more heated, and the
passionate gazes coming from all directions made people’s fingers feel soft.
Wei Xiao moved his fingertips and tested out the mic. “It really doesn’t feel
the same when there’s more people.”
Brother Cai: “Nonsense.”
Wei Xiao: “Come on, Brother Ning, crunch!”
Yue Wenle was quite rigid. “Crunch.”
Ning Zhehan abruptly burst out laughing.
When Chen Feng put on his headset, he was greeted with this childish
dialogue from immature little children.
Alright, then…
To be able to be so childish during this kind of competition setting was also

a type of skill.
“Are you all ready?” It was their captain who spoke up.
The four little ones yelled, “We’re ready!”
BP began. The banned and selected talents were chosen quickly.
There wasn’t much to worry about in the first match. They just had to play
and be done with it.
If they’d prepared enough, done enough training, put in enough blood and
tears in exchange for strength, then all they needed was just to let loose and
play!
FTW had studied TPT deeply.
As the team that liked routines the most, their talent pool was very deep.
There was no need to mention Fu Li and Eurostar; regardless of whether it
was assassin mages or fortress mages, heavy DPS or high agility, both
people had their own strong talents.
Because they had these two bright stars, the remaining TPT players didn’t
seem to have any special characteristics. However, ignoring them would
mean losing half the battle against TPT even at the start.
Eurostar was the target and their core in the later stage.
Fu Li was the multi-purpose oil that moved the machine.
But the remaining three were important parts of this TPT machine.
Their top-laner Wei Ji was an old player who’d followed TPT from the
trenches to the finals. Born from insignificance, fighting to the peak. He
was such a case, a player who’d gone up step by step, going from
nothingness to the peak!
Their jungler, Zhuang Ruishi, came from the same era as Wei Xiao. Two
years ago, Wei Xiao had been too dazzling in the youth training camp and
covered up the light of countless people, of which Zhuang Ruishi was one.
They were both junglers who’d started with the shadow thief. But his
achievements, which should have shone brightly, had been overshadowed
by Wei Xiao until they became nothing in comparison.
After that, Wei Xiao had left the professional circle. Zhuang Ruishi had
bounced around many clubs before finally finding a firm foothold with TPT
one year later.
His sharp edges had faded, and what was left was rock-solid faith!
Their support player Du Yi was TPT’s former captain and their original
mid-laner.
Later, Fu Li joined the team, and the two spent time training together before
Du Yi resolutely dropped his position as captain and mid-laner, entrusting
both to Fu Li, who was two years younger than him.
Fu Li had told him at the time, “Believe in me. I will definitely lead you all
to victory.”
Now, they stood on the stage of the national finals!
From the bottom of the pack to the highest stage in China, they were now
only one step away from being the champions!
The BP ended and the match began.
Little Ning took the butterfly warlock, and Fu Li took the demonic mage.
Neither side was subtle; they took out big moves for this start of the match.
Both of these mid-laners were talents that were strong DPS dealers.
Wei Xiao: “Guard the first wave of soldiers and wait for me to come back.”
Taking the butterfly warlock as a mid lane talent meant that they had to
hammer the other side’s demonic mage until he collapsed in the early
stages. Otherwise, he would be stabbed to death by his magic beams in the
later stages.
Wei Xiao breathed in lightly and started attacking the first blue daddy.
Starting with the blue buff was a standard routine for hidden thieves.
What made it a standard routine?
Anything that could be easily guessed was a standard routine.
But Wei Xiao still chose to start with the blue buff. Why was that?
Because the blue buff was near the top lane, and the top lane held Close.
Would TPT dare to come stir up trouble?
As it turned out, TPT did dare.

Fu Li gave out orders, and Zhuang Ruishi approached FTW’s blue jungle
zone.
The audience could see it clearly with their god’s perspective. “The hidden
thief will suffer if it loses the blue buff in the early stages.”
“Zhuang Ruishi came on his own. Wei Xiao won’t back down, right?”
“The problem is that Wei Xiao doesn’t have vision. How would he know
that Zhuang Ruishi’s there on his own?”
This was meticulous planning on TPT’s part. Zhuang Ruishi went down to
his opponent’s jungle zone on his own. Their support was clearly in the
bottom lane, but he hadn’t revealed himself to Bai Cai and Yue Wenle.
Once Zhuang Ruishi appeared, Wei Xiao would have to act cautiously.
He couldn’t know for sure if Zhuang Ruishi was on his own or coming over
with support.
If it was one person, he could still force a fight. But if there were two, then
he might lose both his blue daddy and give the other side a First Blood,
which would be a great loss.
As he was still thinking, Lu Feng’s voice rang out in his ear, “Little Xiao,
attack.”
Wei Xiao was startled back to his senses and didn’t hesitate at all as he gave
up on the blue daddy and tossed a set of skills onto Zhuang Ruishi’s body.
The audience was surprised, “He’s so reckless!”
“Look at the top lane!”
Why had Lu Feng dared to have Wei Xiao attack Zhuang Ruishi? It was
because he’d first forced Wei Ji to the limit. If TPT didn’t support their top-
laner, then Wei Ji would die.
At the same time, Wei Xiao went up to tear into Zhuang Ruishi. How would
TPT choose when stuck between a rock and a hard place?
Ch209.1 - You guys should be
called ‘the whole team cowers’!
In this game, TPT’s support had chosen the guard shaman. This talent’s
ultimate move was equivalent to teleportation. After using it, the hero
would quickly arrive at a teammate’s side while giving them a short
invincibility effect. It was an extremely powerful life-saving skill.
In addition, the cooldown time for the guard shaman’s ultimate move was
shorter than teleportation, making it also a very practical skill.
Of course, a guard shaman didn’t have its ultimate move at level two and
would only end up giving its life away if it came over.
So, who would he be sending his kill to?
Fu Li’s words were concise and to the point, “Power thief.”
The light signaling that Du Yi was teleporting shone on Zhuang Ruishi’s

body.
TPT chose to give up its top-laner and support Zhuang Ruishi.
The commentator: “This is a good choice. Wei Ji’s been caught by Close,
and it’ll be difficult for him to get away. On the other hand, Zhuang Ruishi
might have been beaten up by Wei Xiao, but his health is still alright. Du
Yi’s teleportation is ready, and his control skill should be enough for them
to kill Wei Ji. Trading their top-laner for FTW’s jungler core is very cost-
effective.”
These words were reasonable, but was Wei Xiao that easy to catch?
A system announcement sounded out before Du Yi could land––

FTW.Close killed TPT.JILI!
The great demon king had once again snatched up First Blood.
Each time he did so, it was faster than the previous time, and it was more
direct and clean than the previous time. He didn’t stop even for the national
finals!
The commentators couldn’t skip out on another round of praise. They

praised him so much that even the great demon king’s fans all started
sending out scrolling comments, “Hey, calm down, calm down, this is
Close’s standard mode of operation.”
While FTW kicked things off in the top lane, what was the result of TPT’s
jungler’s two against one?
He hadn’t hesitated when he rushed up to attack, and he didn’t look back at

all when he slipped away.
Wei Xiao hid himself and was as slippery as a fish as he bailed.
Although it was a loss to lose the blue daddy, First Blood was still theirs, so
they’d come out ahead overall!
But TPT really wasn’t an ordinary team. For them to be able to win all the
way to now, and win over the rising RR, how could they be ordinary?
In the moment that Du Yi landed, he instantly put out a detection trap and
exposed Wei Xiao’s figure.
Wei Xiao: “!”
This was the guard shaman’s first skill, a ground mine that acted like a
vision trap. Players often complained about the guard shaman and called it a
toolman in the canyon because its first skill and ultimate move were all
enhanced versions of shared skills in the game.
This detection mine’s range was over twice that of a normal vision trap.
Although there was a time limit on it, unlike the vision trap that would
remain until it was pulled out, it was a really disgusting skill that could be
used indiscriminately.
During BP, Wei Xiao had chosen the hidden thief first, and TPT had chosen
the guard shaman afterwards, showing how much importance they placed
on him.
Wei Xiao was startled. Of course, it wasn’t because of the detection trap;
he’d been mentally prepared and had even shifted to a dead angle, but he
hadn’t expected that Du Yi would toss his trap at the dead angle.
This was embarrassing.
Zhuang Ruishi naturally wouldn’t miss out on this chance that would only
show up once every thousand years. He directly used flash to move forward
and cut off Wei Xiao’s retreat, wanting to kill the hidden thief no matter
what!
FTW would have earned big if Wei Xiao didn’t die, but it would be another
story if Wei Xiao did die!
The commentator: “Close is rushing over. Quiet has to hold on and wait for
support!”
The short distance between the top lane and the blue jungle zone meant that
Lu Feng didn’t need to use teleportation. Running over directly was more
cost effective, but the problem was…
TPT.rock killed FTW.Quiet!
Wei Xiao died under TPT’s jungler and support’s attacks.
TPT had gotten even!
Trading their top-laner for FTW’s jungler definitely wasn’t a loss for TPT
even if they’d lost First Blood.
Du Yi had maximised the guard shaman’s skills to the limit. He’d also
placed a detection mine behind himself which allowed him to see Close
coming from a very long distance away.
Zhuang Ruishi turned around to run. He didn’t plan to fight against the
great demon king at all.
Commentator A: “In fact, they can fight. After all, TPT has two people on
their side…”
No matter how fierce Close was on his own, he was still only one person,
and he was still a single form death knight. If Zhuang Ruishi was a little
more ambitious, he might have been able to double kill FTW’s top-jungler
combo.
Commentator Brother Mouth: “What are you thinking? Take a look at

Close’s face. His jungler’s been killed, and his killing intent is soaring!”
It was alright before he said it, but once he did, the director really gave a
close-up of Lu Feng’s face.
In fact, Lu Feng was an iceberg all year long. Whether or not there was
killing intent was all up to the audience’s interpretation.
At this moment…
The CP fans went up to heaven. “Ahhhhh, charging in a rage for the jungler
king!”
“Even though my Q Cub’s dead, this sugar’s really sweet!”
“Cry and tremble. Get ready to bear the wrath of the great demon king!”
Du Yi had provided a wonderful wave of vision. Reasonably speaking,

Zhuang Ruishi should have been able to escape and live another day.
Unexpectedly…
Butterflies fluttered everywhere. They clearly couldn’t smell the fragrance

of flowers, but they wove together in the sky as if they were amidst
hundreds of flowers.
Zhuang Ruishi’s heart thudded.
The butterfly warlock’s set of moves flew over, and Zhuang Ruishi, who
was under half health, died in an instant.
FTW.Silvery killed TPT.rock.
“Nice!” Wei Xiao praised Little Ning fiercely, “Thanks for getting revenge
for me, Brother Ning!”
Little Ning was shy. “It’s-it’s because Cptain pressured him to come this
way.”
Wei Xiao’s words at this moment were just like those from a Close fan,
“Sigh, that’s our captain’s standard operations. You’re the one who linked it
up well.”
Little Ning’s heart was just like the butterflies in the canyon, blown up by
Brother Xiao’s praise until it started dancing.
The commentators were in a frenzy over FTW’s wave of perfect

cooperation, but Little Ning’s great pleasure was followed by great sadness.
He’d just gotten the kill when the other side’s demonic mage’s light beams
smashed into him. All four beams landed accurately, triggering a damage
stacking effect––
TPT.Auroral killed FTW.Silvery.
Stringing him up like a skewer of tanghulu, beautiful!
Little Ning: “……………………”
Wei Xiao coaxed him, “Don’t be afraid, big brother will get revenge for
you!”
His words had just fallen when Close arrived at the mid lane and killed the
Fu Li whose skills were all on cooldown.
Fu Li didn’t even have flash left, because he’d used flash along with his
first and second skill. After a wave of beautiful plays, he’d met the great
demon king who’d been just around the corner. Life was really filled with
ups and downs…
Wei Xiao hurriedly changed his words when he saw the captain kill Fu Li,
“That’s not your big brother, it’s Captain!”
I’m the only one who can call out big brother, you guys shouldn’t even
think about it!
The informed vegetable: “……”
Continue going wild; you’ll be invited to a personal interview with Glory’s

Mic Explosion King sooner or later!
This wave of killing was really an immortal level start to the match for the
audience.
You kill me, I kill you, you kill me again, and I kill you once again.
This wasn’t just the mantis catching the cicada with the yellow sparrow
lurking behind. There were also evil foxes and big lions behind the yellow
sparrow!
A group fight with low level heroes could turn into such a lively scene, it
was really worthy of being the domestic finals. How exciting!
The audience’s emotions were stirred up, and they waved their flags and
shouted loudly enough that they would probably have to depend on throat
lozenges to talk tomorrow.
The back rows were ringing with cheers, but the front row was quiet,
especially the section where the Team of Gods were. None of them said a
word.
Yuan Ze smiled like a fox, glancing at Yan Jiang out of the corner of his
eye.
Xie He’s eyebrows were drawn together in a slight frown, his black eyes
fathomless as he stared at the screen.
There was no need to say anything, no need for even half a word. The four
of them all had similar thoughts––
Close had changed.
FTW’s lone wolf now knew how to cooperate.
This wave began with TPT invading the jungle zone, but it was obvious that
Close’s killing of Wei Ji in the top lane had been the real start of the back
and forth.
Although players died one after another, the seven people who’d
participated in this fight all exerted their personal strength to the fullest.
This included Wei Ji, who’d been the first to die. Even though Zhuang
Ruishi had been sent home by Ning Zhehan, he wouldn’t have been able to
escape from the great demon king’s grasp to start with if it hadn’t been for
Wei Ji’s dying struggles.
Close oppressed Wei Ji, cooperating with Wei Xiao to lower Zhuang
Ruishi’s health.
Close pursued Zhuang Ruishi. Although Du Yi had revealed his approach,

his positioning was very extreme and forced Zhuang Ruishi to run into the
butterfly warlock’s attack range.
Ning Zhehan took Zhuang Ruishi’s life, then fell into Fu Li’s hands, but
Close had already been making his way over.
Close’s cooperation had made crucial contributions to FTW’s three kills!
Fans who’d watched countless FTW games didn’t think much about it, but
the Team of Gods who were very familiar with Close felt it very deeply.
The more familiar they were, the more they understood.
The more they understood, the more helpless they felt.
How could they not sigh over it when they saw this change?
How would Wei Xiao be willing to accept sending up a kill at the start of
the game? He quickly finished clearing his jungle, then started setting fires
everywhere.
TPT was the type of team who didn’t like to fight in the early stages. Its
core concept was to ‘survive’, and it was inevitable that their team
atmosphere was a bit slippery. They would avoid fighting any opportunity
they could in the early stages, and the fight just now had been an
unexpected surprise.
Unfortunately, Wei Xiao loved fighting. How would he let them just keep
surviving? He frequently created trouble for them all over the place.
Reasonably speaking, FTW should gank their bottom lane and try their best
to limit Eurostar’s bubble of survivability, but Eurostar-star was really
worthy of his cowardly baby name and managed to survive several waves
of ganking, making it not really worth the effort.
Wei Xiao: “Brother Cai, you and Old Yue hold on. I’ll first take down the
top lane with the captain.”
If the bottom lane was a hard bone to crack, then they’d crush the top lane
first. Regardless of whether they chose to switch lanes or force a fight, the
initiative would be in FTW’s hands.
This round of decision making was very correct. FTW’s top-jungler linkage
was one of the best in the league.
Wei Ji was miserable. “Who the hell can withstand this!”
It was enough when it was just a great demon king, but now there was a
little lunatic. This crazy demon combination was really deadly!
Fu Li: “Lose the tower, but protect your life.”
That was all they could do. Even if losing the top lane’s first tower was
equivalent to feeding the upper jungle one to Little Lunatic Wei, what else
could be done?
If they didn’t choose to retreat, not only would they lose the tower, they
would lose a life as well.
One kill was 200 gold. Wasn’t it better to remain alive? Why would they
feed it to the enemy!
Wei Ji retreated while Zhuang Ruishi made a feint and attacked Ning
Zhehan.
Little Ning did as he was told and used himself as bait. When the three
people from TPT were attracted over, Wei Xiao teleported over and
pounced on Zhuang Ruishi.
Revenge had to be taken for his death!
Zhuang Ruishi was worthy of being a TPT starter. He had really inherited
the crying scrunched up face core principles and didn’t use his ground stab
to gank. Instead, he used it in reverse and pulled the pouncing Little Lunatic
Wei away from him.
Why were they called the grimacing crying team? You guys should be
called ‘the whole team cowers’!
The three people from TPT were cautious and withdrew fiercely as if the
word CAREFUL was written out in capital letters.
You want to avoid fighting, right?
Then they’d just take down towers and be done with it!
Wei Xiao continued to assault the top lane while taking all the income from
the top jungle zone into his pocket, growing his farm like crazy.
Ch209.2 - Close, was no longer
alone.
The director showed the audience their farm panel along with a chart
displaying both sides’ development.
It could be seen that FTW’s farm was rising up the whole way. After all,
they were going through the jungle creeps like crazy, applying pressure on
the soldier lanes, and had a few more kills. It would be strange if their farm
wasn’t high.
In contrast, TPT had been on a downturn the whole way. The difference in
farm only grew bigger and bigger, and their share of the resources was
pitifully small.
So, did this mean that TPT was done for in this first match?
Of course, it wasn’t convenient for the commentators to predict such things.

Even if they could see the situation clearly, they wouldn’t point it out due to
their professionalism.
Those at the scene who understood weren’t only limited to the

commentators. There was also Chen Feng who was off-stage, TPT’s
coaching team, and 3U, RR, and the Team of Gods who were in the
audience. They could all see the situation clearly.
Eurostar was the biggest bright spot on this farm panel.
The farm of the whole team was low, and the whole team was in a much
worse situation than FTW. Only Eurostar had the same number of gold
coins as Wei Xiao!
At this time, Wei Xiao had 6,000 gold and three full pieces of equipment.
Eurostar now had 5,900 gold and was about to make his third completed
piece of equipment.
What did that mean?
TPT would be completely different in the mid and late stages of the game!
Wasn’t FTW aware of this danger? They knew it very clearly.
No one was staring at Eurostar more closely than they were, but this was
TPT’s endurance and their ability to drag the rhythm of the whole team
forward. Once Eurostar was all stacked up, then he would be an existence
that challenged the heavens and the earth!
What kind of early stage did they need? They would be the real daddies in
the late stage.
Eurostar had never let his teammates down.
In the middle stage of the game, TPT’s top and middle outer towers had
fallen, and most of their jungle zones had been completely occupied. Only
the bottom lane was still being defended solidly.
When Eurostar’s three full pieces of equipment were in place, TPT began a
strong counterattack!
Zhuang Ruishi went to the bottom lane. Wei Xiao notified them, “I can’t see
Brother Stone.” Brother Stone was Zhuang Ruishi’s nickname. It was also
because his ID translated into ‘stone’.
Brother Cai: “Got it!”
Yue Wenle had developed pretty well and wasn’t as cowardly. He and
Eurostar were old opponents, and there were hints that he wanted to go toe
to toe against him.
There could only be one number one ADC in the China competition zone.
It was Yue Wenle last year, and this year, Eurostar-star had his eye on the
position.
When it came to the issue of titles, they definitely had to fight to the end.
Bai Cai placed a vision trap and probed Zhuang Ruishi’s position. “Be
careful, Old Yue.”
The two of them began to retreat. Unexpectedly, Du Yi, who’d always been
conservative, suddenly ‘went crazy’ and used his second skill’s acceleration
in addition to their support’s team acceleration equipment to rush up along
with Zhuang Ruishi and Eurostar like a gust of wind.
As the team support, it was necessary for him to sacrifice himself at critical
moments. Brother Cai made a quick decision to cover Yue Wenle’s retreat.
He might be dead, but for better or worse, Yue Wenle would be able to live
on.
Yue Wenle didn’t act recklessly at this moment, either. If he still charged
ahead in this kind of situation, it wouldn’t just be reckless but simply,
seeking death.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Ruishi didn’t intend to stop at all. He went under the
tower without any soldiers present and forcibly ensured that Yue Wenle
couldn’t leave.
Was this trading his life for his opponent’s?
No…
Zhuang Ruishi wasn’t going to die!
Eurostar had already opened up his extension skill and the range of his ice
arrows had doubled. The cold arrows shot out, and Yue Wenle died under a
critical hit.
Bai Cai’s heart stuttered. His giant shaman with thick skin and high health
had actually ended up as fragile as a glass person.
One arrow, two arrows, three arrows.
It only took four arrows for the giant shaman to die.
What was more fatal was that Zhuang Ruishi, who’d taken three hits from
the tower, should’ve died. But Du Yi’s ultimate move landed on his head,
providing him with a shield that made him invincible for 0.5 seconds,
perfectly protecting Zhuang Ruishi from death.
Everything happened just right. This level of cooperation was godly!
The audience broke out in shrill screams, giving TPT a round of

enthusiastic applause for the way they’d boldly turned the tables!
With two kills recorded into his accounts, Eurostar, whose farm had already
been equal to Wei Xiao’s, instantly surpassed him.
TPT’s big rhythm started up.
Despite how badly they’d been suppressed in the early stages, or how their
mid and top lane towers had fallen, or how miserable Zhuang Ruishi was,
as long as Eurostar didn’t fall, TPT could turn the tables from the brink of
defeat at any minute!
Eurostar left the bottom lane and started wandering around the canyon.
There were at least two bodyguards around him at all times.
Zhuang Ruishi would feel out the way, while Du Yi threw out detection
mines. Coupled with Fu Li’s support, FTW was miserable wherever the ice
arrows flew.
Bai Cai: “Damn it, we have to try the guard shaman and frost hunter in the
future.” This was a demonic combination that was really suffocating.
Wei Xiao: “In that case, I’ll have to use the power thief.” The bottom
jungler linkage was very important for this combo.
One sentence was enough to choke Brother Cai.
Line-ups that TPT could use, couldn’t necessarily be used by FTW.
Their direction was different, and their choices were different. Moreover,
the game wasn’t over, and it was uncertain if this was a good or bad
combination.
FTW’s fans fell silent. Their small hearts couldn’t take it, and they were
praying silently.
It had been such a good start to the match. If TPT turned the tables, it would
affect the players’ mentalities too much!
Don’t lose! Although it was only the first match, they really didn’t want to
see them lose!
The frost hunter in the canyon went against the heavens and the earth, and
the audience also began to discuss how to help FTW find a breakthrough in
low voices.
On the Team of Gods’ side, Yuan Ze tilted his head and looked at Kim
Sung-hyun. “Your apprentice?”
Those who were familiar with it would be able to see at a glance that
Eurostar’s play style was very similar to Kim Sung-hyun’s. When he stood
up in the later stages, he was just like a proud Daddy Kim.
In particular, this guard shaman, frost hunter, and power thief combination
was one that Pro used often.
Kim Sung-hyun stared at the projection of the canyon. “The credit goes to
his team’s demonic mage.”
Pro and TPT’s interactions were limited to the most recent training match.
There were others who’d really made an impact.
The demonic mage was Fu Li. Kim Sung-hyun’s sentence showed his great
recognition of him.
The laymen watched the excitement, while the experts looked at the details.
The audience only felt that Eurostar could take down one little friend with
each arrow and was very badass, but they didn’t think about why he could
do it.
Repetition could create talent, too. The most terrible thing about Fu Li was
that he could help his teammates achieve this effect.
Pro’s routine was publicly known, but it took some ability to learn the
essence of it.
It was obvious that Fu Li had this ability.
Using this routine against FTW was very suitable.
Yuan Ze continued, “They’re still a bit tender.”
He was talking about the current FTW.
Don’t judge based on how this line-up restrained FTW. In fact, if they
wanted to break through this routine, it also required a team like FTW.
It was like L&P against Pro.
A fierce top-jungler linkage was a nightmare for Kim Sung-hyun.
Even if Gary couldn’t kill God Kim, Yuan Ze could make up for the
missing damage and kill him off.
Once Kim Sung-hyun fell, Pro would lose half of its DPS output. Even if
there were only three people left alive in L&P, it would be enough to kill
the four in Pro.
Why couldn’t FTW do it?
It wasn’t that Quiet and Close couldn’t do it, but that the other three
couldn’t.
Killing off their core in a two against one meant that it would be three
against four.
Although L&P centered around their top-jungler combo, their mid-laner,

bottom lane, and support were all peak level masters who were enough to
take advantage of the gap left by their top-laner and jungler and tear their
enemy apart.
Could the three little ones from FTW do the same?
Maybe they could, but did Quiet and Close dare to trust them with it?
Could they trust their teammates like that?
Yuan Ze leaned back in his seat, looking forward to the showdown in the
canyon.
Bai Cai was a little anxious. “What should we do? If this drags on for any
longer, we won’t be able to hold on!”
Wei Xiao had tried several times, wanting to ambush Eurostar.

Unfortunately, this brat was good at surviving, and the guard shaman’s
detection mines meant that he couldn’t get close.
Wei Xiao and Lu Feng looked at the farm panel at almost the same time.
Eurostar was now number one in farm across the whole canyon, but TPT
had fallen too far behind in the early stages, and the whole team’s overall
farm was still lower than FTW.
In terms of equipment, other than Eurostar, the four players in TPT were all
inferior to FTW. This included Fu Li.
As long as they could kill Eurostar, TPT wouldn’t be able to hold up against
FTW’s attacks.
But…
How would they get to him?
Bai Cai’s game awareness was still there. “Their farm is still poor right
now. When Fu Li’s demonic mage rises up, we really won’t be able to
fight!”
Time was fleeting. When the farm of everyone in TPT caught up with that
of FTW, they would really have no way to win.
Wei Xiao inhaled lightly. “Captain.”
It was a simple dialogue, but they’d communicated everything that had to

be said.
The hand Wei Xiao had on his mouse tightened slightly, and his tone was
heavy, “Old Bai, we’re handing things over to you.”
As his voice dropped, he seized the opportunity and rushed at the Eurostar,
who was surrounded by layers of protection.
Brother Cai’s heart leapt up, and his goosebumps broke out all over his
skin. “Are you just going off on your own!”
This scene was really a bit like that.
The hidden thief rushed up and avoided the power thief’s ground stab, but
failed to escape Du Yi’s control.
Eurostar was calm and collected as he shot his ice arrows at the hidden
thief’s face.
Wei Xiao’s health bar plummeted, but he didn’t intend to retreat at all. He
went straight at Eurostar like a deadly wolf that had vowed to tear out a
bloody path.
Eurostar was stabbed by the hidden blade. The light flickered, indicating a
critical hit, and half of his health was gone.
A system announcement rang out at the same time: TPT.Star killed

FTW.Quiet!
Wei Xiao fell.
Eurostar breathed a sigh of relief, but the death knight’s three headed dog
came rushing over.
Du Yi blocked in front of him and took part of the damage, but the death
knight connected his skills very quickly, a heavy blade sending Du Yi
flying. His sanctions landed, his soul cry demonizing Fu Li, who was
attempting to use his skills, and he was finally able to stab Eurostar.
There was no way for Eurostar to retreat. He couldn’t hide, and could only
grit his teeth. “I’ll trade myself for him!”
One arrow, two arrows. When he died, the death knight fell to the ground
alongside him!
It took both Quiet and Close’s efforts to kill TPT’s Star.
Brother Cai sucked in a breath. “Go!”
Yue Wenle and Ning Zhehan: “Yes!”
The butterfly warlock’s butterflies covered the canyon, and the gun
launcher’s gunfire swept across the four from TPT.
Three against five.
FTW’s most immature three little ones faced up against TPT’s four
experienced players!
FTW.Le killed TPT.Du.
TPT.Auroral killed FTW.White.
FTW.Le killed TPT.Rock.
FTW.Silvery killed TPT.Jili.
There were only three people left in the canyon. Ning Zhehan, who was
seriously injured, Yue Wenle, who had a third of his health, and Fu Li, who
was on the verge of serious injury.
Fu Li used flash and tried to escape.
Ning Zhehan flew over with his butterflies regardless of his own life or
death.
Magic beams hit the butterfly warlock.
Butterflies landed on the demonic mage’s shoulder!
They both toppled at the same time!
Only FTW’s marksman, Yue Wenle, was left in the canyon.
The commentator’s voice was excited. “Is there enough time? Is there
enough time in their resurrection countdowns?”
“The fastest resurrection time for TPT is 28 seconds. It’s enough for the gun
launcher to push all the way to the crystal!”
The canyon collapsed, the sound exploding through their headsets.
Bai Cai and Ning Zhehan wished they could snatch up their keyboards and
mice to help him click on the tower.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
The TPT crystal exploded the moment Eurostar resurrected.
FTW won the first match!
The venue filled with 30,000 people exploded with excitement!
“Amazing, FTW!”
Finally, it wasn’t just Close who was amazing. The audience was cheering
for the whole team.
Close, was no longer alone.

Ch210.1 - An excuse to hug right
out in the open!
The national finals were different from other competitions. As the grand
finale for the entire competition zone, the game organizers naturally hoped
that the teams could play out the most wonderful games that they were
capable of, so there was a short backstage rest after each match.
The players got up and left the stage, returning to their backstage lounge
from two separate directions.
The commentators were still going over the game just now. Both FTW,
who’d won the match, and TPT, who’d lost the match by a narrow margin,
had shown absolute strength.
“TPT’s system of four protecting one always has strong firepower. Eurostar
exerted his strength in the mid and late stages and forced FTW to trade two
people for his life.”
“FTW chose the right time. It’s hard to say what the result would be if
they’d continued letting it drag on.”
The game was already over, so the commentators didn’t have to be so stiff.
They spoke more freely, their comments were more accurate, and the
audience also listened very carefully.
The camera panned over the audience slowly, stopping on the row with the
Team of Gods.
It was a fleeting scene, but the audience in the live broadcast room had seen
it clearly.
Yan Jiang, Xie He, Kim Sung-hyun, and Yuan Ze were all silent, as though
the game in the canyon hadn’t ended, and they were still watching.
The haters immediately began to flame, “Shocked, aren’t you! Shocked by

our local competition zone!”
“Wake up, traitors, FTW’s still awesome without you garbage!”
“I really don’t know what they’re doing here. Are they just here for self-
humiliation? What Team of Gods was this? Be a bit less shameless,
traitors!”
The scrolling comments swept by quickly. The room moderators had to

carefully go through the comments from these haters in order to delete them
in a timely manner. Meanwhile, there were more rational fans sighing––
“Although God Yan’s face was expressionless, although God Xie was
frowning slightly, although God Kim’s expression was cold, and although
Scum Man Yuan’s peach blossom eyes were downcast, I feel that they were
actually happy.”
“Glad that their Lulu has a new partner?”
“What do you mean, new partner? It’s that he finally has a partner!”
“Holy shit, what’s the matter with you, previous poster? Why do your
words hold so much…”
“Don’t you guys have any awareness of how our great demon king’s life
has been over the past three years? Why should I hold back? Start crying
with me!”
“As a career fan, I’m feeling a little arrogant. Fellow brothers, I want to see
FTW get a 3:0 championship!”
“Not only are you arrogant, you’re also dreaming. Are you treating our TPT
like they’re vegetarian!”
“If it was the FTW from the past, TPT might still have had the strength to
fight back. But to be honest, no one can stop FTW in their current state!”
“When was the last time there was a 3:0 for the finals…”
“The Team of Gods three years ago!”
“F*ck!”
“I’m sorry, I’m feeling crazy too. I want to witness the birth of a new Team
of Gods!”
In the backstage lounge, FTW was in high spirits.
Tang Chen was waiting for them at the entrance. When he saw Little Ning
coming, he gave him a big hug. “Beautiful!”
Little Ning’s hands had been trembling from when he stepped off stage until
now. “Brother Tang…” He was whimpering.
Brother Tang was really a very busy person at the moment. Seeing that Yue
Wenle was approaching, he released Little Ning and went to hug him, too.
“Badass!”
Granny gray, who was hovering between crying and not: “……”
Yue Wenle was in a daze. “Oh.”
He was obviously out of power. He looked like he needed some potato

chips to continue on living.
Brother Cai didn’t want this hug of love and tried to avoid it. Unfortunately,
Comrade Tang was too broad and blocked the entrance, stopping him with
an arm and giving him a hug.
Brother Tang: “Cool!”
Bai Cai: “……” He was about to get strangled to death!

Wei Xiao and Lu Feng came at the end. Brother Tang wanted to hug Wei
Xiao.
Wei Xiao turned back and pounced on Lu Feng, poking his head out to say,
“Brother Tang, me and the captain will just hug each other. There’s no need
to bother you with it!”
Wei Xiao ignored it. This was an excuse to hug right out in the open! He’d
be missing out for nothing if he didn’t hug!
Chen Feng was responsible for pouring cold water over them, “You’ve only
won a small match, yet you’re acting like you’ve already won the national
championship?”
Great.
Brother Tang gave them support, and Chen Feng cooled down the
atmosphere. This made the small tails of the little ones in the team droop
right back down.
Chen Feng would adjust his tone according to their state.
He could encourage them if they were downcast, and pressure them if their
egos were inflated. This kind of psychological assistance was part of his job
as a coach.
They’d played well in the first match and won beautifully, but there were
still many problems. Chen Feng picked out the key points and had them
calm down for the next hard fight.
“The entire China competition zone knows that TPT is a team that warms
up slowly. Losing the first game is a common occurrence for them, so don’t
take it lightly…”
The FTW lounge was lively and bustling, while TPT’s side was unusually
quiet.
After sitting down on the sofa, Eurostar picked up a bottle of mineral water
and drank down several gulps of water in one go.
He always liked to laugh and mess around and had a lively personality, but
there was no smile on his face right now. The dimples that could often be
seen had disappeared.
They’d lost the first match.
They often lost at the start of a game, but the atmosphere had never been as
tense as it was now.
What they’d lost wasn’t just the first match, but their invincible system of
four protecting one.
TPT was very serious about this national final. When it came to their
opponent, FTW, they’d also shown absolute respect.
There was no need to test the waters, no need to grope around. They didn’t
want to lose a single kill or a single match. They’d put in all their effort into
this fight, and yet as a result…
They’d lost.
Eurostar felt a little flustered in his heart.
This was a major drawback to the four protecting one system.
Four of the players had put the hope of the entire team on one person, trying
to create space for him to develop and giving him all the farm he could get.
Eurostar had lived up to expectations, playing strongly in the middle and

late stages and had almost led their team to victory, but…
He’d been killed.
The advantage that they’d built up with so much difficulty had collapsed in
an instant.
Guilt, remorse.
Eurostar couldn’t help hating himself. He still wasn’t strong enough, and he
was still a long way off. Otherwise…
Zhuang Ruishi patted him on the shoulder. “It’s okay. It’s just the first
game.”
Eurostar bowed his head, his short hair covering his eyes as he stared at the
mineral water in his hand. “Mm.”
Wei Ji spoke up too, “We’ve already played really well. That’s the peak
level top-jungler combo in China.”
At the end of the day, Du Yi was a veteran player with a steady mentality.
He joked, “Only the top in China? They’re the top in the world, okay?
Those two are even stronger than Yuan Ze and Gary.”
The atmosphere in TPT’s lounge eased up as soon as those words came out.
Eurostar’s mood relaxed slightly, as well. His frown loosened and he looked
at Fu Li out of the corner of his eyes.
Fu Li had his gaze lowered, his index finger against his chin. He was
obviously thinking and hadn’t noticed their conversation.
Eurostar’s gaze darkened again.
The coach touched on some points from the match just now, his tone gentle
and soft as if he was afraid of over-stimulating them.
When Fu Li finished thinking and looked up, their coach immediately shut
up.
Everyone’s gazes moved to him. Fu Li said, “We can’t let go of the early
stages. When fighting against FTW, we have to grasp the rhythm in the
early stages.”
Zhuang Ruishi: “Mess with Ning Zhehan?”

Fu Li nodded and said, “Stone, keep your eyes on the top lane. Brother Du
will follow me, and Star Cub, you take the storm hunter.”
Eurostar was stunned.
Fu Li didn’t look at him, but he raised his hand and pressed it lightly against
the top of his hair. His tone was very light, “Protect yourself well.”
Eurostar’s Adam’s apple shifted as he responded seriously, “Yes!”
After the break ended, Fu Li got up. “Let’s go.”
This would be a tough fight.
After a whole season of tempering, FTW was undergoing rapid growth at

every minute, every second.
It was very difficult to win against a team that was so full of potential.
But they were the only ones who could do it!
At the beginning of the second match, Wei Xiao could keenly sense that
there was something going on even during the BP session with TPT. “Are
they going to snatch up the immortal warlock?”
Chen Feng naturally sensed it as well. “Pay attention to the mid-lane.”
Ning Zhehan sat up straight and comforted himself, “I’m not scared of
him!”
Wei Xiao laughed. “That’s right, our God Ning isn’t afraid of anyone!”
God Ning wasn’t able to keep the corners of his mouth from curving up.
Chen Feng flicked the back of Wei Xiao’s head. “Settle down.”
Wei Xiao deliberately cried out in pain, like it was really painful.
The camera showed their interactions, and the fans saw a happy and joking
FTW. They all started guessing, “There’s no prize, but I’m guessing that
God Q said something to make the brutal Queen Chen bonk him on the
head?”
“What else could he be saying? He must be flirting blindly.”
“Flirting with who? With who? I’m betting my kneecaps that it’s the great
demon king!”
“I’m taking those kneecaps, upstairs. It’s obviously not the great demon
king. Just take a look at our iceberg Lulu, he’s clearly jealous.”
“Let me just interject for a moment, Close has a perennial poker face. How
can you guys interpret so many emotions from it?”
“Take a micro-expression management class, and you’ll be satisfied with

the sugar you get to eat.”
“What micro-expression management? It’s just taking knives as sugar,

okay!”
“Don’t digress from the main topic. Let’s keep guessing. I’m betting that
it’s Brother Cai. The Jungler King dotes on his little wife, this is great!”
“In that case, I’m going to bet on Old Chips.”
“I bet on Little Ningning!”
“Sigh, being a Quiet fan is great. He’s good with everyone.”
So what was the result of this contest?
Glory’s Mic Explosion King sent out an official scrolling comment, “The
results will be announced after the game.”
So, there was a screen filled with 666 in the scrolling comments.
TPT had first pick in the second match. As Wei Xiao had predicted, they
locked in the immortal warlock within seconds.
When it was FTW’s turn to choose, they could choose two heroes after
TPT’s first pick.
What would they choose?
Chen Feng pondered it over, “If Fu Li is using the immortal warlock, then
Eurostar will probably take the storm hunter. Do we want to lock it in
directly?”
If Fu Li wanted to fight in the mid-lane, then it wouldn’t be a pure four

protecting one system. Eurostar would need a talent that could protect itself,
so the storm hunter was his best bet.
If FTW took the storm hunter first, then Eurostar would have other options,
but they wouldn’t be as comfortable as the storm hunter.
However…
Wei Xiao asked, “Old Yue, do you want to use the storm hunter?”
Yue Wenle: “…… Anything’s fine.”
This pause couldn’t be hidden from Wei Xiao and Chen Feng.
Chen Feng: “Take the berserker thief first, then.”
The storm hunter was left up for grabs. TPT wasn’t polite and took it right
away.
The commentators looked at the line-ups and evaluated, “The two teams are
both planning to fight over the early stages.”
The berserker thief, berserker warrior, and spirit mage on one side, with the
immortal warlock, storm hunter, and hidden thief on the other side. They
were all talents that were strong in the early stages.
“FTW took a double berserker combination. TPT’s a bit at a disadvantage

in this round.”
“They have no other way. They have to make a choice if they want to take
the immortal warlock and storm hunter together.”
“Let’s see if FTW’s double berserker will win or if TPT’s double flying
combo can pull even!”
Both the immortal warlock and the storm hunter could ‘fly’, so they were
often jokingly called the double flying combo.
After entering the game, TPT made their intention very obvious. Du Yi
followed Fu Li in the mid-lane, and it was clear they didn’t want Ning
Zhehan to have an easy time of it right from the start.
Both the immortal warlock and the spirit mage were assassin mage talents.
They could rise to the heavens and drill through the earth when they were
played well, but they had to sacrifice some of their long distance ranged
damage and their ability to control their lanes.
The immortal warlock was a bit weaker before it reached level six, but it
was also difficult for the spirit mage to do well because most of its attacks
were close combat attacks. He would be killed by the other side if he even
started thinking about leaving the safety of his tower to clear his lane.
This was especially the case with Du Yi by Fu Li’s side. He would

sometimes toss out a bubble tune and turn Little Ning into a little nothing.
Seeing that the mid-lane was having difficulty, Brother Cai said, “I’ll go
with Little Ning.”
Yue Wenle was playing a gun launcher in this match. It was a marksman
hero that could compete with the storm hunter; both sides had some
flexibility, and it was fully possible for them to play 1v1.
Wei Xiao hesitated but ultimately still agreed, “Okay.”

Ch210.2 - Kill Fu Li!
Everyone understood why he hesitated.
Brother Cai and Ning Zhehan’s cooperation really couldn’t compare with
Fu Li and Du Yi’s.
This wasn’t about the players’ individual strengths, but the tacit
understanding and awareness that was accumulated over time. This was a
difficult barrier to cross.
FTW was still growing up, and they definitely had their shortcomings.
The mid-support linkage was relatively immature, but that didn’t matter.
They had to face it, accept it, and just move forward step by step. They
would definitely improve!
Wei Xiao finished clearing his jungle zone and was about to go to the top
lane.
Lu Feng: “Zhuang Ruishi is at the top lane.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
There was no vision on the minimap. Lu Feng had probably determined this
information by analyzing the trend in the jungle zones.
Zhuang Ruishi was in the top lane, so if Wei Xiao went over, the two sides
would definitely break out in a skirmish.
Was it worth it?
Based on Lu Feng and Wei Xiao’s ability, they could easily kill the two
people on the other team if they waited to gank them; they also wouldn’t die
if they failed.
But…
Was there a more profitable option?
Wei Xiao didn’t say much and changed directions, heading straight to the
bottom lane.
Close could hold up against the two people’s attacks on his own. Since that
was the case, he should go to the bottom lane and gank Eurostar.
If the success rate was uncertain in a 2v2, then it was definitely much
higher in a 2v1!
The commentators could see the overall trend from God’s perspective.
“Quiet didn’t go to the top lane. Will Zhuang Ruishi and Wei Ji be able to
kill Close?”
The scrolling comments booed them directly, “”What are you thinking?
Although the sky has already darkened, it’s still not time for you to start
dreaming.”
The commentators continued, “In that case, will FTW be able to catch
Eurostar?”
The scrolling comments were frivolous, “Eurostar’s storm hunter might

have the lowest DPS, but his ability to preserve his life is definitely
topnotch.”
“So, does that mean this round of top and bottom lane 2v1s is doomed to be
fruitless?”
“Holy shit, look at the mid-lane!”
The director switched the camera over quickly and reached the middle lane.
The fights in the top and bottom lanes hadn’t yet started when close combat
broke out in the mid-lane.
The two mid-laners who hadn’t yet reached level six and didn’t have their
ultimate moves had already started fighting.
“Is Ning Zhehan so reckless?”
“The immortal warlock’s already in his face. Would he still be a man if he

didn’t go for it?”
“But the problem is…”
“He can’t win, hey.”
The spirit mage was entangled with the immortal warlock. In this match,
Du Yi had taken the holy priest, and the healing quantity of this talent
couldn’t be over exaggerated.
A holy light fell on the immortal warlock, and even before the health that
he’d lost rose up again, Fu Li had already used connecting clouds to rush
up, causing Ning Zhehan’s health to fall by a third.
Bai Cai quickly tossed a light shield to Ning Zhehan, ultimately helping
him resist the subsequent damage. Ning Zhehan rolled away from Fu Li’s
next attack and countered with a wooden thorn.
Fu Li’s body shifted away lightly, and he avoided the damage.
Ning Zhehan was just about to roll back and make use of his passive ability
to control the immortal warlock when Du Yi’s bubble tune arrived one step
ahead of him, bouncing from the little soldier at critical health to the spirit
mage’s body. It even bounced over to Bai Cai a couple times.
“Nice.” Fu Li’s voice was calm. He seized the chance that Du Yi had
created for him, using connecting clouds with landing on clouds, letting
them stack up to deal explosive damage.
First Blood.
TPT.Auroral killed FTW.Silvery!
Fu Li took First Blood, tearing open a gap in the mid-lane and aiming
straight at FTW’s shortcomings!
TPT’s top lane attack was fruitless. Close didn’t even lose a single soldier
as he retreated safely.
In the bottom lane, Wei Xiao and Yue Wenle cooperated pretty well. They
beat up Eurostar until he only had a silver of health left. Although they
weren’t able to complete the attack, they’d managed to harm Eurostar quite
a lot by forcing him to lose a group of lane soldiers.
TPT gave everyone a different feeling in this match.
They were really worthy of being a kaleidoscopic team. In the previous

game, it was four protecting one, and in this game, they had a jungler core.
It was a variety of routines, and each one was done well!
After grabbing First Blood, Fu Li’s farm was number one in the whole
canyon. They continued with this tactic and continued to pressure the
middle lane like crazy.
TPT’s operation made RR puff up in anger beneath the stage.
Money: “Old Thief Fu, he stole that really quickly!”
Moonlit: “One person’s skills might be inferior to that of others.”
Mo Hui refused to accept it. “Hmph!”
If Fu Li really won against FTW, he would definitely go and knock him

down!
TPT and RR’s fight in the semi finals had really left them bloodied all over.
It was bad enough that RR had lost; they’d also revealed many of their
tactics.
Who didn’t want to win in the top four? Who didn’t want to beat FTW?
RR had gone through many training matches with FTW in order to figure
out a usable set of tactics, and that was the routine that Fu Li was currently
using.
Their jungler would lock onto the top lane and help their own top-laner
fight against the great demon king.
Their marksman would take a talent that had self-preservation ability and
latch onto Yue Wenle.
They would rely on Moonlit’s high level of skill to squeeze Ning Zhehan in
the mid-lane.
It wasn’t that everyone looked down on Little Ning, but he was a newcomer
who didn’t yet have enough experience. Compared with the other FTW
players, he was still a soft target to hit.
Suppressing the mid-lane and forcing Wei Xiao to come and provide
support meant that their top lane could relax slightly; they didn’t dare to say
that they could create a gap, but at least they wouldn’t be shut down by
Close.
If they could resist Wei Xiao’s gank, they would already have won half the
game. On the off-chance that they could also kill off Yue Wenle in a solo
fight, then FTW would collapse for sure!
This had originally been RR’s tactics for winning the championship. Now, it
had been fully copied by Fu Li. How could they not be angry about it!
What made it worse was that Fu Li had made up for their tactical defects.
Taking advantage of the immortal cooperation between their mid-laner and
their support, they’d strung up Bai Cai, restrained Wei Xiao, and left a free
area for their bottom lane.
Eurostar took over half of a jungle zone, and his farm was snowballing
quickly. Adding on his personal skill level, there was really a good chance
he could kill Yue Wenle!
Although Yue Wenle had been the number one ADC in China last season, it
was because FTW had won the national championship.
When it came to a real fight in personal strength, nobody would back down
to anyone else.
When it came to who was first or not, they just had to fight to see!
The second match was more worrying than the first.
FTW’s fans began to panic again.
“That’s not good…”
“The great demon king has been restrained, the mid-lane is getting hit hard,
and in the bottom lane, Eurostar is gradually pressuring Yue Wenle…”
“FTW is at a complete disadvantage.”
“What to do? What to do? If they can’t find a breakthrough point, then TPT
will just do it again in the next match.”
“This isn’t a matter of just losing a match, it’s going to be a big deal!”
“Seriously, Ning Zhehan’s level… even if FTW makes it to the globals,

there’s no way for him to fight against Xie He.”
There was an unprecedented silence in FTW’s team chat.
Bai Cai didn’t speak anymore, and Wei Xiao didn’t say anything. Lu Feng
and Yue Wenle, who usually remained silent anyway, were even less likely
to speak.
The more their farm fell behind, the more the middle lane became
completely blown apart.
Finally, Little Ning couldn’t hold back anymore, “Brother Xiao…”
What should they do? He was completely unable to fight against Fu Li and
Du Yi.
As soon as Wei Xiao came to help, Fu Li and Du Yi would immediately

choose to avoid fighting. When Wei Xiao went to clear the jungle, they
would begin to apply pressure again.
The most painful part wasn’t getting caught, but that they were completely
unable to win against the other side in a 2v2.
There was no strategy, no awareness. What was right in front of their faces
was nothing but a gap in strength.
––Cooperation was also a kind of strength.
Wei Xiao stared at the farm panel. “Brother Cai, go to the bottom lane.”
Bai Cai was shocked. “This…” As soon as he left, Ning Zhehan would
become thoroughly useless!
Ning Zhehan had heard it clearly as well. He felt an icy cold chill run down
his back. His fingers trembled slightly, and he lost a lane soldier.
Wei Xiao noticed all of this, but…
There was no rebuilding something without breaking it first.
This so-called bronze having an advantage against kings wasn’t as simple

as just talking about it.
If he didn’t have enough confidence, then everything was all in vain.
While Brother Cai was hesitating, Lu Feng’s voice rang out, “Go to the
bottom lane.”
Bai Cai gritted his teeth and said quietly, “Little Ning, you hold on. I-I’m
going to first open up a gap in the bottom lane with Old Yue.” This was all
he could think of.
Ning Zhehan tried to steady his voice, “Okay.”
The audience noticed the moment Bai Cai left.
“What does this mean? Is FTW giving up on the spirit mage?”
“With this useless mid-laner? They should’ve done that a long time ago.”
“That’s no good, he was already a weakness, and now if they leave him
alone, this match…”
“I thought FTW was strong, but it turned out that they’re still noobs. Noobs
don’t deserve to win, get lost and go home to raise pigs!”
“Can’t they change to a different mid-laner in the next season? Isn’t FTW
rich and generous? Is it so difficult to find a mature mid-laner? Yet you
insisted on raising up a newcomer, hahaha.”
The scrolling comments talked and cursed and had already plotted out
FTW’s development route for the next two years.
The fans’ mentalities collapsed. They didn’t even have the energy to flame
anyone.
“Little Ning!” Wei Xiao locked onto his blue daddy. When there was only a
tiny bit of health left, he tossed it towards the side of the middle lane.
Ning Zhehan was stunned for a moment, but his instincts moved faster than
his brain, and the spirit mage had already tossed out a wooden thorn.
He was startled when the blue buff landed on his body. “I didn’t… it wasn’t
on purpose.”
The berserker thief needed the blue buff. Not only could it fill up his mana
bar, it would also reduce his cooldowns. It was very important, but he’d
actually…
Wei Xiao: “It was originally meant for you.”
Wei Xiao used a movement skill to get to the middle lane tower and said,
“Do you believe in me?”
Ning Zhehan’s heart shook. “Yes!”
Wei Xiao: “Do you remember what I said to you before the game?”
Ning Zhehan’s heart filled with a wave of bitterness, and he couldn’t speak.
Wei Xiao spoke for him, “You’re our trump card for restraining Fu Li.”
Ning Zhehan: “But I…” Played so poorly and couldn’t do anything at all.
Wei Xiao: “Listen to me, don’t think about anything!”
As soon as his voice dropped, he rushed out of the grass and locked his
scythe on Du Yi.
Ning Zhehan hurriedly rushed over to keep up, his heart filled with panic,
“Brother Xiao…”
Wei Xiao: “Kill Fu Li!”
Everything happened very quickly. Wei Xiao’s sudden appearance surprised

Fu Li. He’d predicted where the berserker thief’s scythe would land and
dodged it, but unexpectedly, Wei Xiao wasn’t aiming at him. Instead, he
locked in on Du Yi instead.
This…
Fu Li frowned slightly. He was just about to attack the berserker thief when
a magic vine rose up from the ground, latching onto him firmly.
Fu Li: “!”
Ning Zhehan really didn’t think about anything. He didn’t think about who
he was up against, didn’t think about how it was the stage for the national
finals, and he didn’t think about what would happen if he lost.
There were only the three words from Wei Xiao left in his head: “Kill Fu
Li!”
A full set of skills from the spirit mage landed on the immortal warlock’s
body.
Fu Li couldn’t move and was directly controlled until he died.
The commentator’s voice was shrill, “The spirit mage’s combo was very
accurate and precise, and those controls were connected to the point where
the immortal warlock had no way to fight back!”
FTW.Silvery killed TPT.Auroral.
Ning Zhehan had killed Fu Li!
The entire scene broke out with fierce applause. It was for the spirit mage,
for Ning Zhehan, and for this mid-laner newcomer king.
Wei Xiao: “What are you in a daze for? Come get your double kill.”
Fu Li was dead. How would Du Yi, as a holy priest, be able to flee?
Ning Zhehan’s thoughts were still muddled as he rolled and attacked, taking
down the pitiful holy priest who was trying his best to heal himself.
Little Ning, who’d been suppressed for an entire match, been overwhelmed
until he couldn’t breathe, and been pressured until his mentality had
suffered a bloody collapse––
As soon as he was able to turn the tables, he was so happy that he wanted to
turn on his mic and sing to the whole audience!
Wei Xiao released a breath. No one noticed that there was a bit of sweat on
his forehead and palms.
This wave had been a bit tense.
But if they didn’t go for it, then how would they be able to unlock FTW’s
infinite potential!
This wave of counter-killing in the mid-lane allowed FTW to snatch back

their control over the rhythm of the game.
Little Ning stopped cowering, and the spirit mage was no longer afraid. Fu
Li and Du Yi could fight against Bai Cai and Ning Zhehan, but they were
unable to beat Ning Zhehan and Wei Xiao.
In this match, Wei Xiao’s berserker thief didn’t play like a jungler. Instead,
it was more like a support.
His scythe would hook to provide support, so that his teammate could solo
kill the other side!
His scythe hooked onto the c-positions; sorry, but you’ve run off too far.
Every single hit landed; TPT collapsed like an avalanche.
Victory.
Ning Zhehan was still a little out of it after they won the second match. “We
won?”
Bai Cai felt like he’d just gone through a roller coaster. “… We won.”
It was just f*cking outrageous, even having a wet dream wasn’t so exciting!
Ch211.1 - They didn't want to lose!
TPT were the ones who really felt like they were dreaming. They hadn’t yet
come back to their senses even after the game ended.
Fu Li’s face was as somber as still water. After taking off his headset, he
headed straight for the backstage lounge.
The commentators were analyzing the match just now and praising Ning
Zhehan, saying that this newcomer king deserved his title, and that his
overall ability was very high. It was outstanding for him to be able to play
so brilliantly when competing on the stage of the finals for the first time.
The audience were also misled by this analysis and believed that it was
Ning Zhehan who’d carried the game, suddenly ‘figuring things out’ and
beating up the godly calculator.
However, Fu Li knew exactly who he’d lost to.
It wasn’t Ning Zhehan, it was Wei Xiao.
Ning Zhehan hadn’t changed anything. What had changed was the person
who had cooperated with him.
In the first half of the match, Ning Zhehan and Bai Cai had been oppressed
by Fu Li and Du Yi in the middle lane. Wei Xiao had come to provide
support many times, but they’d failed to get any results. The main reason
for this was that Fu Li had chosen to avoid fighting when faced with a 3v2
situation, and FTW also had no way to force him to fight.
Wei Xiao couldn’t remain in the middle lane the whole time. As long as he
left, Fu Li and Du Yi would begin to mess with Ning Zhehan and Bai Cai
again.
This routine worked well in the first half of the game, until Bai Cai went to
the bottom lane.
3v2 became 2v2. There was no need for Fu Li and Du Yi to hide, and if
they could suppress Wei Xiao and Ning Zhehan together, then TPT’s win
would become much easier to obtain.
Unfortunately, Wei Xiao hadn’t been playing cards based on common sense
He gave Ning Zhehan a blue buff, then used the berserker thief like a power
thief when fighting, controlling Du Yi and giving Ning Zhehan and Fu Li a
chance to solo.
Reasonably speaking, Fu Li wouldn’t lose to Ning Zhehan on his own.

What’s more, he had the dominant position in farm, and the immortal
warlock could easily kill the spirit mage.
But everything had happened too suddenly. What Fu Li was most worried
about was Wei Xiao, and in order to avoid the berserker thief’s scythe, he’d
sent himself right into Ning Zhehan’s control.
The spirit mage had four skills and five strong controls (its passive ability
meant that its general attacks could send its opponent flying). Once he was
given the chance to attack first, then his squishy talent who had no
purification could only wait for his death to approach.
Once Fu Li died, Du Yi would have no way to retreat.
Ning Zhehan, who’d gotten a double kill, instantly caught up on most of the
farm that he’d fallen behind on during the early stage. At the same time, he
started finding a feel for the game again.
After that, FTW’s mid-jungler linkage seemed to have been tailored against
TPT.
The inseparable spirit mage and berserker thief locked in on the immortal
warlock and would show up wherever he was.
If Fu Li ignored Wei Xiao and only attacked Ning Zhehan, then Wei Xiao
would instantly let him know what a daddy berserker thief was; if Fu Li
paid attention to Wei Xiao and avoided his attacks, then Wei Xiao would
turn his attention to Du Yi and give Ning Zhehan the opportunity to fight.
Any judgements he made were useless for Wei Xiao because he had no
rules.
What was more ridiculous was Ning Zhehan. He acted like he’d been
injected with chicken blood, and was filled with excited energy once he’d
gotten the double kill. He was completely different from the little newbie
who’d been timid and cowering at the start of the game, and his fierceness
was like his body had been taken over by Xie He.
Fu Li knew exactly where he failed, but the more clear it was, the more
difficult it was for him to calm down.
He’d never underestimated FTW and had never underestimated Wei Xiao.
But obviously, he’d still underestimated them.
He’d underestimated Wei Xiao’s great influence over the whole team and
his teammates.
What was even more terrible was that this influence took effect
immediately and could be achieved easily, without any preparation.
Beneath the stage, Yuan Ze tsked and tilted his head to say to Kim Sung-
hyun, “Little Lunatic Wei is really a treasure.”
Kim Sung-hyun glanced at him. “That’s got nothing to do with you.”
Yuan Ze lowered his voice, “I think that I could bend for him.”
Kim Sung-hyun sneered. “It would be useless even if you bent yourself into
a mosquito coil.” That guy already had a sweetheart, and they were super
sticky together.
Yuan Ze sighed. “Forget it, as a big brother, I won’t snatch people away
from my little brother.”
Kim Sung-hyun disdained him: Can you even snatch him away? You
damned straight man who only knows how to run your mouth!
They were naturally able to understand that the key to winning this game
was Wei Xiao, and they could see even more from this game than Fu Li,
who’d been involved in the game.
This determination, this execution, and this amazing compatibility.
Those were all talents. They were a kind of talent that was quite different
from micro-operations, game awareness, strength, and so on.
This kind of ability could only be described as something that could only be
encountered by luck but couldn’t be sought.
Even the few who’d reached the peak of Glory had only ever seen this kind
of unreasonable compatibility in Yan Jiang.
And Wei Xiao was different from Yan Jiang.
He was filled with energy and brilliance.
If what Yan Jiang gave to his team was indispensable air, then what Wei
Xiao gave them was dazzling light.
They were equally untouchable, equally silent, and equally important, but
the feeling was quite different.
One was invisible, while the other was eye-catching and warmed the heart.
Kim Sung-hyun looked at Yan Jiang out of the corner of his eye. Under the
bright lights, his black eyes were calm, but those who were familiar with
him knew that cold flames were burning within.
It was battle intent.

It was the desire to fight against someone of equal strength.
Who wouldn’t want to?
Kim Sung-hyun shifted his gaze away and stared at the empty seats on the
screen.
Who wouldn’t want to defeat such a genius? Who wouldn’t want to win the
crown after fighting a good game?
In the backstage lounge, FTW’s four little one’s egos gradually puffed up.
Little Ning: “It’s 2:0!”
Brother Cai: “Hold steady, hold steady, next up is the match point.”
Yue Wenle was the most straightforward. “I want to do 3:0.”
Brother Cai was shocked. “You…”
He hadn’t yet finished his words when Wei Xiao interjected, “What are you
thinking…”
When Bai Cai first heard these four words, he wondered what was going on
with Little Lunatic Wei. Had his personality changed? Had he become a
person and learned to be cautious and low-key?
Then, he heard Wei Xiao finish, “Be a bit more confident, get rid of the
‘want’. We’ll definitely win the championship with a 3:0!”
Like hell he’d changed his personality. Like hell he was becoming a person.
Being cautious and low-key wasn’t even in Wei Xiao’s dictionary!
Chen Feng attacked them. “TPT’s sure to go all out in the next match. Calm
down a bit.”
Everyone sat down and made use of this time to talk about
countermeasures.
It was quieter on the TPT side.
Zhuang Ruishi wanted to speak, but he swallowed his words back down
again after looking at the silent Fu Li and Eurostar.
TPT had never experienced a downturn in the past two seasons. In fact,
their path had been very difficult: from being looked down on by everyone,
to gradually making achievements; from a chaotic team, to gradually
becoming organized; from having no tactics, to their present routine
kaleidoscope…
There was no glory without hardships.
Downturns, confusion, hesitation…
They’d all gone through it, but it hadn’t been like this time…
In the first match, their four protecting one system had lost.
In the second match, Fu Li had lost.
The frustration they felt was exacerbated by the fact that it was the national
finals.
The championship was within reach, the future was right in front of their
eyes, but they were going to miss it by just a narrow margin.
How could they be willing!
They didn’t want to lose, and they couldn’t lose. They didn’t want to give
up this opportunity that was hovering by so close.
Effort, hard work, and countless sweat and tears had sent them to this stage.
How could they be willing to lose!
TPT’s lounge was filled with a heavy atmosphere that also affected
everyone’s hearts.
Eurostar pressed his lips together. “Captain…”
Fu Li: “Yes.”
Eurostar: “I want to use the gold hunter in the next game.”
This implied that he wanted to try the four protecting one system again and
get even for that first game he’d lost, making up for his mistakes and
obtaining a point for the team.
Fu Li didn’t say yes.
Eurostar’s heart sank. “I…”
Fu Li shook his head and said, “I’ll take the zither warlock.”
Eurostar sucked in a short breath.
Zhuang Ruishi, Du Yi, and Wei Ji all looked at Fu Li.
Fu Li lifted his head and looked at them. “Hand it to me.”
He had a low voice that held miraculous soothing power.
A sense of enthusiasm filled the whole TPT lounge.
From the coach to the players, from the starters to the substitute, they all
trusted Fu Li.
There would be no TPT without him.
Without him, they wouldn’t be at the stage for the finals now.
Trust, dependence.
Fu Li was able to twist TPT into a rope, cast it into an invincible steel
blade!
Everyone in TPT was now fully revved up.
The bell signaling the end of their break rang. Fu Li stood up, “In this
match, everyone do what you do best.”
Eurostar followed behind him. When he was about to step out of the
darkness onto the dazzling stage, he called out to Fu Li in a low voice.
Fu Li’s steps paused slightly. He turned back to him and spoke through the
passionate, heated music, “It’s okay. I’m here.”
The light hit him, extending his shadow until he looked like a giant.
A giant who had lifted up TPT, led TPT forward, and guarded TPT.
Let loose and fight.
Even if this was their last game, they had to fight to the end!
Match point. Both sides’ momentum soared like the rainbow.
FTW was obviously in excellent form and couldn’t wait to win the
competition with a bang.
TPT had lost two games in a row and were now at the thrilling match point,
but they’d adjusted their state and looked like they had the confidence to
win.
BP ended. Everyone was in a daze when they saw TPT’s line-up.
Fu Li took the zither warlock. TPT was really letting loose and going for it
this time.
The zither warlock was a mid-laner hero who had support tendencies, and
some people might even use her to play support directly.
Fu Li had taken the zither warlock for one sole purpose––to coordinate the
overall situation.
This wasn’t a four protecting one routine, and they weren’t betting on
Eurostar. Instead, they were going to bloom everywhere.
The berserker warrior in the top-lane, the berserker thief in the jungle, the
magic launcher marksman.
Three positions, and they were all carry talents.
They could fight, resist and control, and could also burst out in the
opponent’s face. The three of them were all cores!
They took the giant shaman as support. After adding Fu Li’s zither warlock
into the picture, TPT’s intentions were clear even before the competition
began.
They would fight hard to the end.
They wanted all three lanes!

Ch211.2 - Everyone rush over!
FTW could also sense TPT’s lethal aura.
Bai Cai: “This game won’t be easy.”
Little Ning was still immersed in his high. “I can beat a zither warlock!”
Brother Cai: “The zither warlock won’t give you a chance to fight!”
This wasn’t like an immortal warlock. It was a support type mid-laner, and
its DPS was unimportant. The important thing was its functionality, in this
match, the zither warlock’s real battle opponent was actually Brother Cai.
Little Ning: “Oh……”
Wei Xiao: “Old Bai, you come with me.”
Bai Cai: “!”
Wei Xiao: “Lighting fires everywhere is our specialty.”
TPT wanted to mess with the rhythm of the game, but what FTW didn’t
lack the most was rhythm.
Come on, it was the third match. They’d show the audience what it meant
to fight a bloody battle the whole way without looking back.
Bai Cai instantly filled with heroic spirit. “Okay!”
Yue Wenle muttered darkly, “You must feel very aggrieved following me,
right.”
Bai Cai: “How can a home grown flower be as fragrant as a wild flower.”
Wei Xiao laughed and cursed, “Who’s a f*cking wild flower.”
Bai Cai: “The jungler king’s flower.”
Wei Xiao: “Get lost!”
Only after running his mouth did Brother Cai think of the great demon king.
His skin tensed, and he shut up.
Lu Feng had taken the blood warrior in this game. This talent’s fighting
ability was about equal to that of the berserker warrior.
After playing two matches in a row, Wei Ji’s fierceness had been triggered.
At the end of the day, he was also a professional player, and he had his own
personal strength. He’d been hammered in the past two games, but he
hadn’t collapsed. Instead, he’d found his courage and was already able to
resist Close somewhat.
Of course, there was also the fact that the berserker warrior’s first and
second skills were a bit stronger than the blood warrior’s.
Wei Xiao had taken the immortal thief. This was the top-jungler
combination that they’d tried and tested, and it was used to target Eurostar.
When Fu Li had first taken the zither warlock, Chen Feng had thought that
they wanted to do the four protecting one system. The most disgusting point
about this system was that it was too difficult to break in and cut down the
marksman.
In the first match, the hidden thief was weak in the later stages, and
although the death knight had enough DPS, as long as it was blocked from
approaching, it would be difficult for it to reach Eurostar. That was why
they’d needed to sacrifice the two of them to take down a single person.
The immortal thief and blood warrior were different. Of the two, one of
them had a high damage reduction effect, and the other had an ultimate
move that made them immune to all damage. They were very suitable for
trading in their lives for one from the other side. If TPT tried their four
protecting one system again, then FTW would be able to teach them a good
lesson.
Although TPT hadn’t gone for the four protecting one system, the immortal
thief and blood warrior weren’t weak talents, either. They were enough to
deal with the berserker thief and berserker warrior.
Wei Xiao sensed that TPT would start making trouble right from the start of
the game, so he’d called Brother Cai to his side early. He was ready to
provide support at any time.
But he was still a bit too slow.
The jungler position had its own jungle clearing rhythm. The jungle creeps
wouldn’t refresh if they weren’t killed as soon as possible. Even delaying
the rhythm for ten seconds would drag down the team’s overall resources.
This was especially the case for the first round of jungle clearing. It had to
be taken, and they had to control it well.
Wei Xiao’s jungle clearing speed was already very fast. But unfortunately, it
couldn’t be as quick as a wave of lane soldiers in the mid-lane no matter
how fast he was.
After finishing off the mid-lane soldiers in a flash, the zither warlock
headed straight for the bottom lane.
Little Ning sent out a warning, “The zither warlock is heading towards the
bottom lane!”
Wei Xiao: “Old Bai, give some vision.”
It was unknown if he was going to the bottom lane or the bottom jungle
zone.
Bai Cai moved very quickly and was already probing for the zither
warlock’s figure.
However, Fu Li had already guessed his actions. He hadn’t been able to
predict Wei Xiao and Ning Zhehan’s fighting in the last game, but it was
easy for him to see the trend of Bai Cai’s actions in this game.
He had seemingly headed to the bottom lane, but in fact he’d gone back to
his own jungle zone to help his jungler finish clearing the buff creeps before
leading his jungler and support back to the mid-lane.
Brother Cai wondered out loud, “There’s no one…”
Wei Xiao’s heart clenched. “Little Ning!”
But it was too late. The movement ability of the fire mage in the mid-lane
was limited. He wanted to use flash, but he was already held down by the
zither warlock’s zither ring. This was the zither warlock’s core skill and one
of Glory’s strongest control skills.
What kind of damage could the berserker thief deal in the early stages? His
scythe shot out and cut through the air, sending the fire mage home with a
few attacks.
Little Ning sucked in a breath of air. “How sinister!”
More sinister things were yet to come.
The zither warlock was similar to the medicine warlock and was a talent
that could both heal and deal DPS.
When it changed chords, it was equivalent to changing to a different talent.

What’s more, one of its skills increased its movement speed.
A zither warlock that was played well could lead their teammates along like
a tornado, leaving behind a place where even grass wouldn’t be able to
survive.
Fu Li obviously had this ability.
By the time Wei Xiao started providing support, the zither warlock had
already stirred up a storm in the canyon.
This really wasn’t because Wei Xiao’s rhythm couldn’t keep up, but that Fu
Li’s overall planning ability was too strong.
With regards to FTW, Wei Xiao, and even Wei Xiao and Bai Cai’s
cooperation, Fu Li had studied it for countless days and nights.
He could see through it, feel through it, and think through it.
It wasn’t like the surprise from the last game. Once Bai Cai and Wei Xiao
fell into their standard mode of playing, they seemed to be entangled by this
‘prophet’. Every step was difficult, and it was very clear that they were
being plotted against.
Brother Cai’s scalp was numb. “This godly calculator… he’s really very
gifted.”
Wei Xiao’s voice was deep, “How is that any sort of gift? It’s just having
done enough homework.”
In order to understand them to this level, Wei Xiao suspected that Fu Li had
even gone through the training camp videos of him and Bai Cai double
queueing from two years ago,
Calling him the roundworm in their stomachs was already a polite

description!
Not only were Wei Xiao and Brother Cai grumpy, Yue Wenle in the bottom
lane was even grumpier.
If there was a chat channel in the official games, then Yue Wenle would
definitely curse out Eurostar until he was a bloody dog head.
Who cared if they were in the national finals? Who cared if they were under
national scrutiny? President Le now wanted to start up his heated cursing
mode!
Why did he call himself Eurostar? He should just call himself Euro-bun
instead, at least then he’d be edible!
In the bottom lane, Yue Wenle had taken the storm hunter while Eurostar
had taken the magic launcher.
One of them was flexible, while the other had a long range. Reasonably
speaking, Yue Wenle should have been able to suppress Eurostar and beat
him up.
However, Eurostar was really worthy of being the founder of the cowardly
baby movement. He was very steady in ensuring his own survival.
It was bad enough that he didn’t show himself; he also managed to not lose
any of his lane soldiers, either.
What was the highest level of a cowardly baby?
Cowering under the tower to kill soldiers, but the lane soldiers were still
f*cking unable to deal any damage to the tower or the lane. He was able to
constantly maintain his farm at the same level as Yue Wenle’s.
Even without mentioning President Le, even the audience was convinced of
his skill.
From a certain point of view, Eurostar was also a gifted player. An immortal
ADC that was rare even across the whole world.
Under the stage, Kim Sung-hyun rubbed at his forehead.
Yuan Ze: “I was wrong to blame you.”
Yuan Ze: “You couldn’t have trained up such a cute apprentice.”
FTW’s former members were all hardcore players. For example, for Proud
Flower Kim… what was cowering? They didn’t even know how to spell
that word out!
However, Y1’s marksman was a bit like Eurostar. It was no wonder that
Yan Jiang had favored him. This kind of cooperation had a very strong level
of adaptability.
This once again became a very passive game.
They’d been mentally prepared for this a long time ago, but having their
plays predicted by Fu Li so accurately and so often really made frustration
accumulate in their hearts.
Little Ning wasn’t nervous anymore. Anger was the best panacea to control
tension; once anger rose up, he wouldn’t be flustered anymore. He just
wanted to take the other side down with him!
The audience didn’t dare to blink when watching this match.
As long as they looked away for a little bit, they might miss some part of
this wonderful collection of moves. No one dared to get distracted.
After 20 minutes of tearing into each other, FTW gradually calmed down.
They couldn’t continue on like this. TPT was having too easy of a time with
their guerrilla warfare. If they continued getting nibbled away by them like
this, FTW would unwittingly lose the match.
They didn’t want to lose!
They’d already won to this point. They didn’t want to lose even a small
match!
Who would want to win 3:1 if they could win 3:0?
It would be even more difficult to regain their momentum after a

momentary setback.
This truth was written in the military books.
If they ended up letting TPT get three wins after their two point lead, FTW
would likely hang themselves outside TPT’s base.
Lu Feng, who’d maintained his calm despite his team’s impetuousness,
spoke up. “Dragon.”
His cold and clear voice shook up their boiling hot mood like ice.
Wei Xiao inhaled lightly. “Okay!”
After that, he called Old Yue over and engaged the golden dragon.
There were two dragons in the canyon, one gold and one silver.
Killing the gold dragon would increase experience and farm, and it would
also strengthen the soldier lanes. Killing the silver dragon would give the
team a high stat bonus, increasing their attack, defense, and even health
recovery ability.
Taking the golden dragon was a good choice for getting things done, while
the silver dragon was suited for team fights.
FTW chose the golden dragon because Wei Xiao just happened to be in the
bottom jungle and it was just more efficient.
The golden dragon’s health had dropped by a third when the alarm bell in
Wei Xiao’s heart rang out loudly. “Are they working on the silver dragon?”
There’d been no hint of movement from the other side for so long that this
was the only possibility.
At the same time, Lu Feng had snuck his way over to the silver dragon. The
half a second of vision he used revealed traces of TPT.
They were really fighting with the silver dragon!
What should they do?
Would both sides trade dragons?
In fact, FTW wouldn’t be making a loss if they traded the golden dragon for
the silver dragon.
But…
Lu Feng: “Bai Cai, use speed surge. Everyone rush over.”
By this time, their golden dragon had been reduced to half health. They’d
be able to finish it off with a bit more effort.
But if they gave up on attacking it, the half health they’d taken down would
all be in vain!
However, FTW didn’t hesitate at all.
They abandoned the dragon and used speed surge. The entire team moved
like a gust of wind, rushing straight across the river to the silver dragon pit.
Ning Zhehan still had his teleportation ready. He pressed the skill directly
and teleported over.
Deep in the dragon pit, there was no way to retreat.
A bloody battle between ten players was imminent!

Ch212.1 - Mutual trust and mutual
achievements.
Chapter 212
Watching it from god’s perspective was even more exciting.
The commentators spoke very quickly. Their mastery over their role was so
good that they could even enact emotions like surprise, apprehension, and
dismay on command.
TPT had started on the silver dragon, while FTW attacked the golden
dragon.
At first, everyone felt that both teams would each take an ancient creature
and that matters would pass by quietly because they couldn’t afford to fight.
Unexpectedly, the great demon king didn’t pause at all and went to scope
out the silver dragon while his own teammates were playing with the
golden dragon––
“What are they going to do? Is Close going to snatch the dragon!”
“No way, all five of TPT’s players are there. He’ll be dead as soon as he
goes in.”
“What if there’s a miracle?”
“It’s not possible! What kind of experience does Close have? Would he
make such a low-level mistake? And FTW isn’t weak to the point where
they have to bet on luck.”
This so-called snatching the dragon was to stalk in from a good position
when the enemy was attacking the dragon. When the ancient creature’s
health was almost emptied out, they would go and snatch away the last hit.
If they succeeded, all the benefits from the ancient creature would go to
them.
Dragon snatching happened frequently in Glory. It required skill, but it was

more based on luck.
A single stroke may turn a bicycle into a motorcycle or a bicycle into a

unicycle.
This wasn’t a necessary move unless things had already reached a critical
point.
So, was Close really going to snatch the dragon?
The commentators could see more out of the situation. “Could it be that
FTW is already prepared to lay siege to the silver dragon pit?”
“The golden dragon is already at half health, giving it up would be a pity.”
“The silver dragon’s health is dropping faster than the golden dragon. If
TPT takes the silver dragon before FTW arrives…”
Even before they finished speaking, they saw the three people from FTW
use their acceleration buff and rush to the silver dragon pit like a whirlwind.
They’d really given up the dragon to come fight!
Were they so determined?!
What countless people wondered about was––who had given this order?
Was it the great demon king or Little Lunatic Wei? How ruthless!
What made people’s blood boil even more was that the blood warrior
summoned its illusions and charged into the silver dragon pit one step
before they arrived.
“F*ck! It’s really one against five!”

“Like hell it’s one against five, his teammates will be there in at most two
seconds, oh, wait, they’ll make it there in one second!”
“But Close is going to die as long as he goes in…”
“What do you mean, die? Haven’t you played the blood warrior before? His
ultimate move gives him invincibility.”
That’s right, the blood warrior’s ultimate move, Blood Demon’s

Awakening: he would enter a bloodthirsty state where he couldn’t be
attacked and was immune to all damage for up to two seconds.
Lu Feng hadn’t rushed in impulsively. He’d used his illusions to confuse

TPT’s vision, then aimed his blood stab at Fu Li’s face. By the time TPT
reacted and used their skills, he instantly started up Awakening and gave
himself immunity from all damage.
What a wonderful first attack!
A perfect start to the team fight, clearing out a round of enemy skills so that
his teammates could seize the advantage when they arrived.
The teleport skill was a bit faster than the acceleration buff. Ning Zhehan
landed first, and the fire mage was a good fit for this kind of stationary team
fight. He’d be able to hit people even if he just tossed out skills with his
eyes closed.
Of course, professional players wouldn’t throw out skills with their eyes
closed; they’d pursue the best way to stack up the most damage.
Ning Zhehan tossed over a string of fireballs. The special effects landed on
the grass, and there was a visual sense that the silver dragon pit had been set
on fire!
TPT fought back hard.
When faced with Lu Feng’s charge and Ning Zhehan’s high DPS, they
quickly shifted to avoid damage and found the best position from which to
return fire.
When the other three members of FTW arrived, the ten of them instantly
engaged.
The director simply zoomed out to give an overall view of the situation,
displaying the entire silver dragon pit on the stage. The audience opened
their eyes wide and leaned forward, and the back row only wished they
could stand up to see more clearly.
There was shouting and yelling, and everyone’s faces were flushed. It was
as though what was happening on the stage wasn’t a competition, but a real
battleground.
The players who were fighting against each other were like their own
respective gods of war. One man was in charge of guarding the pass against
thousands of people!
The immortal thief’s ten thousand swords fell from the sky as the berserker
thief’s scythe spread death everywhere. The zither warlock’s notes broke
through arrays, and the magic launcher aimed and fired like mad as the
storm hunter stepped on raindrops and flew up high…
The ten people all played to the extreme, and the group battle that lasted
only dozens of seconds seemed to be playing in slow motion.
It felt both long and short.
Slow, yet quick.
Everyone’s hearts had leapt up to their throats as they quietly waited for the
results.
FTW.Silvery killed the silver dragon!
Ning Zhehan was the one to kill the silver dragon!
“F*ck! The silver dragon is FTW’s!”

“Ning Zhehan’s beam of fire shot through the dragon pit and snatched up
the silver dragon’s last hit!”
Regardless of who had been the one to deal damage to the ancient creature,
the system only cared about who dealt the last hit!
“Silvery means silver. This kid’s granny gray hair wasn’t dyed in vain!”
“Damn, Laozi wants to dye my hair too. Does dying your hair blonde mean
you can get the golden dragon and dying your hair silver mean you can
snatch the silver dragon?!”
The scrolling comments were going crazy, and the audience at the scene
had also blown up.
Although Eurostar had shot Ning Zhehan to death after he stole the silver
dragon, it was still worth it.
FTW gained the benefits from killing the silver dragon. Their HP, defense,
and attack speed all gained a boost.
This data was invisible to the naked eye, but the overall strength of the team
increased. Their farm had originally still been behind TPT’s, but they could
now catch up and might even secretly surpass them.
The dragon pit exploded.
Never mind how fiercely the berserker warrior was attacking, or how the
zither warlock’s chords seemed to summon clouds and rain, or how
explosive the magic launcher’s DPS was…
The storm hunter flew everywhere, there was an immortal thief who never
touched the ground, and Bai Cai, who was busy healing…
The three little ones from FTW took down the five people from TPT!
The fight over the silver dragon came to a fierce ending.

Finally, only Yue Wenle and Wei Xiao remained standing. The two of them
were both seriously injured, their lives hanging on by just a thread.
The river was full of corpses, and TPT had been wiped out!
Too wonderful!
The audience applauded even as they screamed shrilly, and the scrolling
comments in the live broadcast covered the screen, all of them blowing
rainbow farts.
No matter whose fans they were, they really had to praise this wonderful
group fight as much as they could.
The clip of the year had shown up in the national finals. It was too cool!
The fierce group fight ended, but the game wasn’t over.
TPT had controlled their defensive towers and soldier lanes well in the
early stages. Wei Xiao and Yue Wenle didn’t waste any time as they pushed
towers like crazy. They broke down two consecutive towers in the mid-lane
before TPT started to resurrect. They then went to clear out the other side’s
jungle, thoroughly clearing up TPT’s jungle zone before quickly retreating.
The director gave a timely shot of the farm panel.
The farm panel that had originally been dominated by TPT was now
completely overtaken by FTW, and the sharp drop and subsequent ascent of
the curved charts made people’s breaths catch.
If this was the stock market, this kind of rise and fall would be enough to
make people go crazy.
After both sides resurrected, the game progressed at a relatively slow pace.
The audience also had time to drink some water, catch their breath, and
relax.
It was too exciting. No matter who won or lost, today’s matches were
wonderful enough to be included in Glory’s history of the China
competition zone.
If you ask, then it was BADASS in capital letters!
It was too damned badass!
This wave of group fighting had turned the tables. FTW’s side had naturally
played magnificently, and they clearly wished they could rush all the way to
the crystal and end the game.
FTW had undergone amazing growth without anyone noticing.
Those who understood this team would see where the growth had been by
listening to the team chat after the game.
Chen Feng wasn’t biting his nails under the stage anymore, but Tang Chen
knew that he was more nervous than anyone else, more nervous than the
30,000 people at the scene.
He was the one who understood FTW the best. He understood Close the
most, and was also the one who understood the team best.
Whether it was that point three years ago, the three years prior, or now,
three years later, he’d seen it all.
He thought about this team every day and every night, thinking about these
players, and thinking about every duel in the canyon.
He wasn’t on the battlefield, but he was the one who kept thinking about it
the most.
He could see the growth of his players even without listening to the team’s
voice chat.
It was invisible, but significant.

FTW, which had been like a heap of scattered sand, was now coming
together again as a group!
There was Quiet during a downturn in the game.
And there was Close when they were excited and over confident.
Ning Zhehan, Yue Wenle, and Bai Cai had absolute trust in them.
And Close finally trusted them.
What was a team, what made a team?
It wasn’t unilateral dependence, and it wasn’t one-sided trust. It was mutual

trust and mutual achievements.
After three years…
No, five including the two years with the Team of Gods.
FTW was finally a team!
The game wasn’t yet over, but Chen Feng’s eyes had started to burn.
He breathed in lightly and continued to stare at the Glory Canyon.
After a short period of calm, Wei Xiao began to look for opportunities
again.
After FTW seized the initiative, it was no longer as easy for TPT to avoid
fights. A gap appeared in their previous guerrilla operations due to their
collapse in the dragon pit, and they required more time to get back their
previous rhythm.
Would FTW give them that time?
Wei Xiao wouldn’t!

After suppressing vision in the bottom jungle zone, Wei Xiao went to gank
Eurostar, who was clearing his lane soldiers at the second tower.
At this time, TPT was scattered across the three lanes, and Eurostar, who
only had an earth shaman for protection, wasn’t safe from an attack.
Fu Li immediately ordered, “Retreat!”

Ch212.2 - The Team of Gods was
gone. But FTW had been reborn!
At this time, Bai Cai had already arrived at the earth shaman’s position. If
Eurostar retreated, the earth shaman would be able to get away, but they
would have to give up their bottom lane’s second tower.
Eurostar, who always followed Fu Li’s plan, who never disobeyed his
orders over countless games, paused for a moment.
It was only a fraction of a second, and it was a pause that couldn’t be felt,
but Fu Li noticed it.
Eurostar didn’t retreat. He launched an attack, and all of his DPS landed on
Bai Cai, who was within his range.
Bai Cai was shocked. “Fierce.”
Wei Xiao brushed out a combo and went straight for the earth shaman.
“That’s more like it.”
Eurostar gathered up his fortress cannon as he spoke, firing shot after shot
that went past Bai Cai towards Wei Xiao.
This was an advanced operation for the magic launcher. Most professional
players could do it, but the control of the angle depended on timing and
technique, so it didn’t always result in a strong enough effect.
Eurostar didn’t step back at all. He was just as calm as before as he hit Bai
Cai at an oblique angle and aimed all his damage at the immortal thief!
Wei Xiao’s health dropped down by a quarter after taking two shots.
Bai Cai: “Not good, I can’t hold up!”

At the end of the day, he wasn’t in full defensive gear, and his limited
healing wasn’t enough to hold up against the launcher’s late stage explosive
damage.
TPT.Star killed FTW.White!
In a 2v2 head on situation against Wei Xiao, Eurostar had killed Bai Cai
and forced Wei Xiao to retreat!
It was true that he had a defensive tower behind him that was in a
precarious situation, but it was amazing that he was able to play out such a
result.
It had to be known that a late stage immortal thief, especially one at Wei
Xiao’s level, could send him off with a goodbye with just one wave of ten
thousand swords in the sky.
“Is this the Euro-coward that I know?”
“My little coward, what’s the matter? Blink if someone has transmigrated
into your body!”
“Ahhhhh, Euro God is so handsome! He really deserves his reputation as

the China competition zone’s number one ADC!”
“That’s excessive, what do you mean, number one ADC? Are you
pretending President Le doesn’t exist?”
The fans were noisy and cajoling, but Fu Li in the field was in a trance for
once.
TPT had been stretched to the limit ever since they were wiped out in the
dragon pit.
The team chat that was originally already quiet now only contained Fu Li’s
cold instructions. The other four from TPT implemented them silently and
meticulously, the atmosphere tense.
They were all holding their breath, all eager to get back their control over
the rhythm. They all wanted to win the game.
But… their situation grew more and more passive.
FTW, who had snatched up the initiative, was totally unreasonable!
Fu Li had given out an early warning when Wei Xiao and Bai Cai went to
attack Eurostar.
If Eurostar avoided a fight, it would have no effect on either side; if

Eurostar fought, then there was a 70% chance that TPT would suffer two
casualties.
But Eurostar had held onto that 30% and played out a different result.
He’d killed Bai Cai and made Wei Xiao retreat.
He’d snatched up a respite for TPT!
Although Brother Cai fell, he wasn’t flustered inside. “It feels like
Eurostar’s on the rise.”
This was a bit of a pun, but Wei Xiao understood.
Wei Xiao: “That’s a good thing.”
Dependence would eventually lead to blind obedience.
TPT’s team chat was still silent, but they’d found their rhythm again!
This game was clearly not a four protecting one line-up, but Eurostar had
still proven his value as a core with his own strength.
“TPT is great in this game. They’re switching between line-ups at will.”
“The magic launcher was actually able to deal such explosive damage.”
“Eurostar’s personal strength cannot be underestimated.”

“Their teamwork is also excellent!”
“Zhuang Ruishi has grasped the essence of the berserker thief. There are
similarities with Wei Xiao from the last game.”
“Yes, yes, yes, he’s using a core jungler talent like a support.”
In the previous match, Wei Xiao had used the berserker thief to cooperate
with Ning Zhehan and tear apart TPT. Zhuang Ruishi’s berserker thief
served the same function in this game.
He used the scythe to lock in on players, and then left the rest to Eurostar.
And Eurostar really did have this ability to kill the other side!
TPT was back!
From an advantage to a disadvantage and back to an advantage!
The trend of their farm was really like a roller coaster. It went up and down,
like an ECG.
The audience was also holding their breath out of fear that the situation
would tip again if their movements were any bigger.
The third match started to resemble the first.
Eurostar, who was surrounded by his team, became a kill harvester who
killed wherever he went.
Lane soldiers, jungle creeps, human heads, and even ancient creatures; he
collected them all with one cannon after another.
It was another four protecting one line-up, another TPT bulldozer match,
another rising ADC.

FTW had taken the storm hunter in this game. The storm hunter could never
be played as a four protecting one line-up. As a flexible marksman, the
storm hunter was more like an assassin who was good at moving around
alone and wasn’t suitable for moving with a group.
In this situation where it hadn’t been easy for them to find a gap, were they
going to be blocked to death by TPT?
Lu Feng: “Leave Eurostar to me.”
This time, there was no need to trade two for one, and there was no need for
the hidden thief to die, followed by the death knight.
This time, just one blood warrior was enough!
Nearly 40 minutes into the game, the two teams who collided head-on knew
that this was the last round of fighting.
If FTW won, then the national finals were over.
If TPT won, then they would have a chance to keep fighting.
This was the match point, and this was the final battle!
Commentator: “Close is going around the back!’
“Ning Zhehan is dealing ranged damage, while Yue Wenle is pulling away.
Wei Xiao is waiting for an opportunity, and Close is keeping an eye on
Eurostar. FTW is fighting fiercely in this round!”
TPT was fighting hard to protect Eurostar. Eurostar had stretched his nerves
to the limit and was paying attention to any hint of movement in the air and
grass. He knew that his situation was more dangerous in this game, and that
it would be much easier for FTW to cut him down compared with the first
match.
But he had no more chances left.

He had to fight.
He’d disobeyed Fu Li’s instructions and had made his own choice. He see it
through all the way to the end!
He wanted to win.
He wanted to tell Fu Li…
“The blood warrior is attacking!”
The commentary and the scene were completely synchronized, super fast
speech accompanied by special effects as the scuffle that broke out in the
canyon made everyone’s scalps feel numb.
Illusion, bloody strike. Just before the zither warlock’s forced control
landed, there came the skill: Blood Demon’s Awakening!
The blood warrior who could no longer be targeted had neared Eurostar.
Eurostar felt a chill at his back. It was clearly taking place on the other side
of a screen, but he could smell the scent of blood.
“Fight.” Fu Li’s deep voice rang in his ear.
Eurostar came back to his senses and found that all of the zither warlock’s
heals were concentrated on him.
His health bar rose and fell even as damage rained down on him.
Eurostar didn’t think about anything. He couldn’t see anything, and he

couldn’t spare any attention to care about anything!
He wanted to fight the blood warrior, he wanted to survive, and he wanted

to lead TPT to win this game!
The blood warrior fell!
Close had been killed!

Did TPT have a chance to turn things around?
No…
Resurrection armor kicked in, and Close made use of the phantom’s shadow
to launch a blood cut, taking away Eurostar’s life.
Eurostar also had resurrection armor, but the two seconds it took to
resurrect was too long for him.
The other four from FTW had already rushed forward with flame bombs
and rain arrows as the immortal thief broke through their defenses, and
finally launched ten thousand swords in the sky…
The aftermath of this explosive damage was enough to topple the seriously
injured Eurostar and prevent him from getting back up again.
TPT.Star killed FTW.Close.
FTW.Quiet killed TPT.Star.
FTW.Quiet killed TPT.Du.
FTW. Quiet killed TPT.Rock.
FTW.Quiet killed TPT.Jili.
FTW.Quiet killed TPT.Auroral!
FTW.Quiet pentakill!
The entire audience stood up, applause filling up the skies. The waves of
sound from the 30,000 people in the audience grew louder each time,
resounding through the sky!
Trading one for five.

FTW won the game.
2021’s national champion had been crowned!
The competition was over. This glorious 3-0 record showed the awakening
of the kings of the China competition zone.
The Team of Gods was gone.
But FTW had been reborn!
After taking off his headphones, Wei Xiao pounced into Lu Feng’s arms and
hugged him tight.
Bai Cai leaned over excitedly to join the hug, while Yue Wenle was left in a
daze he couldn’t recover from. Ning Zhehan burst out into tears.
Chen Feng and Tang Chen strode over with large strides and hugged the
five people on the stage.
The lights lit up, bright and shining.
The five players from FTW were bathed in glory!
On the other side, TPT remained in a daze in their seats. Eurostar’s face was
pale, big tears rolling down one by one. His voice was choked, “Sorry.”
To his left, Fu Li took off his headphones and reached out to rub the top of
his hair.
Eurostar’s tears flowed even more fiercely. “Sorry, I didn’t listen to you.”
Fu Li leaned back in the e-sports chair. “You did a great job.”
Eurostar’s back stiffened, his eyes opening wide.
The corner of Fu Li’s lips pulled down, and he spoke in a low voice, “I’m
not the only person in TPT…”
The venue was noisy, and the stage was bustling, but the five people in TPT
all heard his voice.
Du Yi reached out an arm and embraced him.
Zhuang Ruishi and Wei Ji also got up to move closer.
The five people gathered together. Fu Li’s voice was a little hoarse as he
finished his words, “TPT also has you guys.”
TPT wasn’t only Fu Li. There were also Eurostar, Du Yi, Zhuang Ruishi,
and Wei Ji!
“Next season…” The five spoke in unison, “We’ll work hard together!”
Ch213.1 - Crazy and arrogant!
The screen started to show a replay of highlight clips from the match just
now.
The first wave of fighting in the dragon pit and then charging in, encircling
their opponents and counter attacking…there were only a short few minutes
of clips that had been selected from the game, but it was still able to make
people’s blood boil.
Too exciting!
When Ning Zhehan assaulted the dragon pit and snatched the silver dragon,
the audience once again burst into fierce applause.
The second clip was of the final group battle, where the ten players met face
to face to fight for victory.
TPT, who concentrated their efforts on protecting Eurostar, Close, who

rushed into the enemy’s midst on his own, and the four little ones who
charged at TPT like madmen after their captain died in battle.
Dazzling special effects, explosive combos, and the pentakill that Quiet
seized with his violent DPS!
A pentakill on the stage of the grand finals!
A pentakill that determined the final outcome of the game!
Not only had FTW.Quiet gotten an unparalleled pentakill, he’d also lit up
the entire venue with a dazzling light.
Like the scorching sun shining in the sky, showing infinite glory!
When these words appeared powerfully on the screen, everyone shouted
out––
For The Win!
FTW was amazing!
Fans were immersed in the revelry celebrating the rise of the new
champion, but professional players seated at the front row were quiet––
3U and RR had all come to watch the game.
Asleep and Moonlit watched as FTW bathed in glory, their black eyes
burning.
Cong Yi was a little more restrained, but his back was straighter than usual.
Mo Hui cursed, “If Laozi wasn’t out of money, I would definitely do a

million dollar draw to suppress my shock.”
They were really strong. There was no need to mention FTW, but TPT was
inhuman, too.
When faced with such a TPT, FTW was actually able to beat them with a
3:0 score. It made them even more f*cking inhuman!
There were waves surging beneath the quiet, waves of boundless

expectation for the next season.
The director started to act ‘randomly’ again, panning the camera across the
crowd to show the Team of Gods. The fans, who were already exuberant in
the live broadcast room, burst out into even more excitement.
“Did you see? Our FTW won the championship 3:0!”
“FTW is still a big daddy even without you guys!”
“Go die, Bastard Yan, this year’s global championship will be from China!”
The camera panned over and moved away in a flash, but the mood of the
people in the Team of Gods was far from the calm that showed on the
surface.
Even if they’d been abroad, they’d watched all of Lu Feng’s games over the
past three years––
In how many games had his teammates all died, leaving Close to support
everything on his own?
How many times had Close turned the tide on his own and remained
standing until the end?
And how many times had Close fought alone and forcibly turned a 5v5
game into a 1v5?
Finally, FTW didn’t only have Lu Feng.
Finally, the lone hero was no longer lonely.
The two peak duels from the last match––the dragon pit and the last
pentakill––had both been initiated by Lu Feng.
In the dragon pit fight, he’d exchanged his own life because he believed
that his teammates would arrive immediately afterwards, because he knew
that his teammates would help him get revenge if he fell in the dragon pit.
In the last wave, he gave up his life in exchange for another life, forcing out
Eurostar’s resurrection armor.
A ten person group fight.
The first one to fall was the great demon king. This was something that
nobody would’ve dared think about in the past.
But now, it had happened. A natural sacrifice, entrusting the rest to those
behind him.
His teammates were worth it!

Close split apart the night sky, while Quiet was the scorching fire. FTW’s
future was promising!
Some maybe felt it more than others, but Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun, Xie He,
and even Yuan Ze all held a bit of envy at the bottom of their gazes.
It was unclear who they envied.
Did they envy Close, who had someone to sacrifice for?
Or did they envy the person who Close was willing to sacrifice himself for?
Nobody knew.
Not even themselves.
The championship cup for each competition zone was silver. Only the
global championship trophy was a golden cup.
The silver cup was already a symbol of glory. When the five from FTW
held up the cup, the scene was captured on camera and symbolized the birth
of a miracle.
Since it was the stage of the national finals, they naturally had to have a
proper interview with the championship team.
According to their positions the first to be interviewed was Yue Wenle.

Comrade Old Yue was still in a daze, and it took him a long time to come
up with a phrase, “Won the championship…”
The host took a look at this fellow who could rival God Sleep and quickly
spoke some words in order to wrap things up and move on to the next
person.
The second person was Brother Cai. As a ‘socialite of Glory’, Brother Cai’s
had an amazing amount of social aptitude, but he was unable to say
anything at this time. He seemed on the verge of crying as he talked on for a
long time, but as for what he said––the host had no idea if her own
translation was correct or not.
“It seems that you guys are all very excited!”
The host skipped over Little Ning directly. At this time, he wasn’t just
sobbing, he was crying loudly, the type that came with wailing. Who knew
if God Ning would be embarrassed to death after watching the replay and
have to drill into the cracks in the floor to survive.
The fourth one to be interviewed was Lu Feng. The host was a little nervous
when she saw Close.
As long as they were from the Glory circle, no matter if they were
newcomers or oldtimers, who wouldn’t be nervous when they met Lu Feng?
Players admired his personal strength and his absolute power and ability to
take control of a club at a young age. Girls were fascinated by his height,
bearing, and face, and then they would think about his achievements…
Well, no matter how much preparation was made prior to the interview,
there would still be a small tremor in the initial moment of meeting in
person.
What’s more, Lu Feng even smiled briefly.
The serious and reserved great demon king didn’t even smile when he held
the trophy cup for the global individual championships. But at this
moment… he smiled.
The host’s little heart pounded, and she almost forgot her words.
Fortunately, she was skilled enough that it had become instinct, and she was
still able to ask the question.
Lu Feng took the microphone and spoke quietly, “I’m very happy.”
The entire audience: “!”
It was like a hornet’s nest had been poked in the live broadcast studio as the
screen filled with ‘ahhhhhhhh’s.
The smile in Lu Feng’s eyes didn’t disperse, and his voice was
unprecedentedly relaxed, “I was very happy playing the game.”
He wasn’t just happy because of winning the championship. It was more

about enjoying the game.
The old fans who heard these words really started wailing, crying just as
much as God Ning.
Lu Feng handed the microphone over to Wei Xiao, who was beside him.
The moment God Xiao held the microphone, the atmosphere in the entire
venue seemed to change.
The host quickly came over and interviewed Wei Xiao as usual, asking him
to share his victory speech.
His attitude was very different from the excitement of the three little ones
and was naturally also different from the great demon king’s contentment.
Wei Xiao took ‘crazy’ all the way to the end, acting both crazy and
arrogant!
“This is just the beginning.” He dropped the ultimate bomb as soon as he

opened his mouth. “This year, the China competition zone will definitely
win the world championship!”
These words made an impact as they landed, arrogant to the extreme.
The China competition zone would win the world championship?
Wouldn’t that entail FTW winning the golden dragon cup?!
Holding the silver dragon cup in hand while imagining the golden dragon
cup.
Little Lunatic Wei, you’re really something!
The venue exploded again, shrill screams ringing out endlessly.

Wei Xiao hadn’t finished speaking. He continued, “Fellow brothers who
lost to FTW, don’t cry. Wait for us to earn quotas for you, and we’ll fight
again next year!”
The competition zone who won the global championship would be given
two or three quotas in the coming year!
This craziness…
This craziness was too likable!
The audience all yelled out, “Quiet is badass! FTW is badass! The China
competition zone is badass!”
The noise was so loud that it shook the sky, the atmosphere igniting and
reaching a peak again.
Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun who’d been provoked from off-stage, “……”
Who was going to go up and drag down this little brat? They wanted to beat
him up!
Yan Jiang, who normally showed no happiness or anger, curved his thin lips
up slightly. He said quietly, “Little lunatic.”
Xie He, who sat beside him and heard it all clearly: “……” Yes, he was
crazy enough.
There was no doubting that tonight belonged to FTW.
After the event, the revelry continued.
FTW hosted a banquet, inviting almost all the staff to celebrate their victory
together.
Although the global competition would begin soon, Chen Feng still gave
permission for everyone to have a drink.
One bottle of beer was enough to topple the four little ones.
There were no outsiders in their private room. After two hours of being in a
daze, President Le finally came back to his senses. “We won the
championship?”
Ning Zhehan, whose eyes were already swollen from crying, started to tear
up again. “Yeah! We’re the champions!”
Bai Cai was a little calmer. “Laozi was also a champion support last year,
but why wasn’t it as exciting as this?”
Yue Wenle came up with a sentence at a snail-like pace, “It’s not the same.”
All the old-timers present felt a moment of shock in their hearts.
It really wasn’t the same!
How was last year’s China competition zone as fierce as it was this year?
Last year, regardless of whether it was RR, or 3U, they were still up and
coming teams.
TPT hadn’t even made it into the top four then.
But, what the hell happened this year?
Each and every one of them were strong enough to explode, and they had
all grown up like rockets, playing each game in ways that made people’s
goosebumps jump right out.
It didn’t feel like it during the game, but thinking back on the memories was
enough to make their scalps go numb.
It had felt great at the time, but it was also scary reflecting back on it.
There were differences between champions.
This year’s China silver championship cup felt particularly weighty!

Wei Xiao drank a sip of alcohol and began to let it get to his head. “Calm
down a bit, it’s just a silver dragon cup.”
If Brother Cai wasn’t worried about getting killed by the great demon king,
he would jump up and beat him up right then. “Don’t you feel embarrassed
saying that! How are you even speaking the human language!”
Damn it, dropping trash talk on the stage of the finals, provoking the whole
world arrogantly and domineeringly, Little Lunatic Wei, are you still
f*cking human?!
Oh, he’d never been human.
Alright then, even beasts weren’t as fierce as you!
Wei Xiao held his head up high. “Laozi dares to do what he says and dares
to own up to what he does!”
He wouldn’t have said it if he hadn’t seen the Team of Gods sitting down
there.
He had to say it after he saw them!
He just wanted to tell them: The championship belonged to FTW, and Close
was his!
As he spoke, he remembered something. “I took a pentakill!”
He stressed it, “A pentakill in the last fight of the national championship, in

the match point game!”
Were your neurons finally on the right track?!
Brother Cai replied to him perfunctorily, “Mm-hmm, God Xiao is badass,

God Xiao should chug a glass.”
Wei Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned to Lu Feng, his
eyes wide. “Captain! I took a pentakill!”
Lu Feng understood him. His eyelids lifted up slightly. “Mm, the pentakill
is yours.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Brother Cai and Chen Feng, who were caught off guard by the memory that
surfaced: “…………”
Damn it, would they be able to stop the incoming dog food if they started
eating the lobster now?
It was obviously too late.
Wei Xiao spoke in a loud voice, “And you belong to me!”
Back then, when Wei Xiao was still an accompanying player, Lu Feng had
‘disguised himself’ to approach him. Wei Xiao’s first sentence of love had
been––The pentakill is yours, and you belong to me.
Now…
The pentakill was Wei Xiao’s, and Close was still Wei Xiao’s.
Ch213.2 - Only then would FTW
really belong to them.
Bai Cai’s chopsticks quivered, and he tried to calm things down, “Watch
less online jokes. What do you mean, the pentakill is yours, and you’re
mine? It’s all yours, okay, these are yours too!” As he spoke, he pushed a
plate of shrimp shells in front of him.
Wei Xiao was disgusted to death. “Who wants to eat your leftovers!”
Bai Cai felt like he was doing his best; even giving you all the shrimp shells
wouldn’t be enough to block that mouth of yours!
Then, Wei Xiao suddenly stopped making nose. His two eyes curved as he
looked at the captain, his voice so sticky it made people’s ears itch,
“Captain~”
What he hadn’t heard was that Lu Feng had replied to Wei Xiao’s words.
After that sentence ‘You belong to me’, he’d actually quietly made a sound
of acknowledgement.
The only people who heard were Wei Xiao and Ning Zhehan.
Little Ning’s ears trembled, “!”
He’d drunk too much and was hearing things, right?!
It was nearing the early hours of the morning when the celebrations ended.
Some of them were staggering and hunched as they returned to the base in
the car.
They didn’t drink much, but they were quite drunk.
Ning Zhehan began to talk in his sleep, “Champion, I’m actually the
champion hehehehe.”
He’d gotten the championship just after his debut, making him so happy he
was about to turn into a fool, okay?
There was another person who’d gotten the championship just after his
debut, gotten a pentakill in the championship, and had also gotten the
FMVP of the scene, who even dropped trash talk in front of the whole
world, and acted so arrogantly it made people want to beat him up.
Wei Xiao took advantage of the alcohol and excitement, and leaned directly
against Lu Feng’s shoulder, falling into a dazed sleep.
Who cared.
He was happy, enough to explode.
It was already his limit not to have kissed the captain on the spot!
The car drove directly into the base’s parking lot. Brother Liu woke up the
cubs one by one, coaxing them into the house to sleep.
They had reached the limit of both their physical strength and energy after
tossing about until now on such a day.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle got out of the car in a daze, heading straight to
the dormitory upstairs. They didn’t even bother to wash up before toppling
over to sleep.
Finally, there was only Lu Feng and Wei Xiao left in the car.
Xiang Liu glanced over.
Lu Feng waved his hand.

Xiang Liu nodded, then called over the big brother driver to go home
together to rest.
After waiting for everyone else to leave, Lu Feng kissed the sleeping Wei
Xiao on the forehead between his brows, his wrist sliding down to wrap
around his waist.
Even if it was a spacious van, it still wasn’t easy to hug such a big boy
horizontally.
However, Lu Feng’s embrace was very loose. Wei Xiao rubbed up vaguely
against his neck, like a greedy cat.
Lu Feng gave him a kiss.
Wei Xiao woke up. When he opened his eyes, he hadn’t quite figured out
where he was.
And then……
Wei Xiao was very surprised, quickly disentangling himself to look

anxiously at his arm. “I told you not to hold me.” Even if he’d already been
healed, Lu Feng’s shoulder was a pain that existed in his heart, and he
couldn’t cherish it enough. Let alone embracing, he even tried to avoid it
when they slept.
Lu Feng felt his heart soften into a ball of fluff. “It’s fine.”
Wei Xiao looked around and finally saw that he was still in the car. The car
was in the garage, and the night was so quiet that there wasn’t even a single
mosquito in sight.
Cough……
Wei Xiao’s voice shifted slightly, and he started acting inhuman. “You can
hold me in a different way.”
Wei Xiao hooked his arms around Lu Feng, pasting himself up against his
ear to say, “The finals are over.”
He continued, “And we got the championship.”
Lu Feng held down a certain little lunatic’s long, restless fingers.
Wei Xiao deliberately gasped for breath. “Captain, isn’t it time for you to
fulfill your promise… wu…”
His mouth was blocked, and he couldn’t speak any more, but kissing in
comparison was much more exciting than flirty words.
It started off as a punitive kiss, but it gradually changed. The two of them
grew a little heated from the kiss.
Wei Xiao tugged at his collar. “This car is ours, right?”
Wei Xiao: “It’s not borrowed, right?”
Lu Feng breathed in lightly. “Don’t make trouble.”
Wei Xiao tugged at his belt. “Right here, how exciting would it be in the
car…”
Lu Feng bit him on the neck, exerting a little force, in return for Wei Xiao’s
voice, “Big brother, be a little lighter.”
If he could resist this––
Then, President Lu wouldn’t be a human being.
A moment before his rationality disconnected, Lu Feng picked the youth up

and strode out of the car.
Wei Xiao was anxious. “Captain…”

Lu Feng’s throat convulsed. “Shut up.”
Wei Xiao didn’t dare to kick up a fuss any more. “The car is really… okay,
okay, back to the room. I can walk on my own…” He was too afraid of
giving Lu Feng’s shoulder any pressure.
Lu Feng didn’t let him down, and the direction he walked in didn’t lead
back to the house.
The garage was on the second floor of the base’s basement. It was very big,
but there weren’t very many cars parked inside.
There was only the van, Brother Cai’s Porsche, and Lu Feng’s own car, that
explosively cool Cullinan.
The car door opened, and Wei Xiao’s heart leapt up when he tossed into the
back seat.
Lu Feng pressed himself close, his eyes dark. “In a bit, don’t cry.”
Wei Xiao: “!!!”
Earlier, he was as daring as the sky, but now his guts were as small as a ball.
“About that, captain… if we make the car dirty… mm…”
The interior of the Mercedes Benz van and the interior of the Rolls Royce
Cullinan were not of the same level.
In this kind of narrow space, the sensory stimulation was greater than the
physical stimulation.
In fact, it wasn’t too overboard, but Wei Xiao started crying anyway.
How could Lu Feng stop? He could only kiss his tears away and coax him
softly.
As Wei Xiao cried, he eventually changed his tune, his voice sweet and
sticky enough to make people want to f*ck him to death.
Pentakill, championship, making love.
The next day, Wei Xiao was left with only satisfaction in his heart.
He slept all the way until it was dark again. Lu Feng was beside him when
he opened his eyes.
Wei Xiao drilled himself straight into his arms, pasting up against him and
giving him a kiss, “Did you just wake up?”
Lu Feng: “I just came back.”
Wei Xiao shifted, and a certain spot twinged, making him suck in a breath
in pain.
Lu Feng poked his forehead. “Who told you to make trouble.”
There were times where Wei Xiao would also be shy. He’d been caught up
in the moment at the time, but when he thought back on it after the fact: Oh
god, where did this little demon come from?! The captain didn’t have it
easy!
Wei Xiao cleared his throat. “The car…”
Lu Feng: “No need to worry.”
Wei Xiao’s cheeks reddened slightly, and he thought to himself: I won’t be

able to look directly at the Cullinan in the future!
Lu Feng saw through his thoughts with a glance. “… You even wanted to
do it in the van.”
If he really did as he wished, then would they even be able to take the car in
the future? Would they even be able to go compete?
Wei Xiao kissed him and didn’t let him talk any more.
Lu Feng pinched his waist. “Settle down.”

Wei Xiao was surprised. “How is it…”
Wei Xiao was scared, he really was. “No way, no way, I’ll die if we do it
again.”
The truth proved that the great demon king would indulge him. Otherwise,
how would Little Lunatic Wei dare to act so recklessly?
Although they’d won the championship, the global finals were just around
the corner.
Lu Feng was also reluctant to use up his energy.
Wei Xiao was scared, but he also wanted to stick close to Lu Feng. He
suggested tentatively, “How about I use my hand…”
Lu Feng held him down. “It’s fine.”
Wei Xiao stared at it. “Really?”
Lu Feng’s voice deepened, “It’ll be fine if you don’t stare at it.”
Wei Xiao quickly moved his gaze away.
Who would’ve dared to think that the little lunatic who wasn’t afraid of
anything in his daily life would have a moment cowering like this?
Lu Feng got out of bed. “Hungry?”
Wei Xiao was reluctant to let him go. “So-so…”
Lu Feng: “I’m going to go push the dining cart in.”
Wei Xiao was amused. “Okay!”
Top level treatment, hey! In his heart, Wei Xiao was delighted: His pentakill
and FMVP were worth it!
These two days were happy holidays for FTW.
Going over the game replay wasn’t urgent, and training could wait for a
while longer.
After winning the domestic championship so beautifully, they needed time

to recover.
Sharpening the axe won’t increase the time taken to split wood, and hot tofu
couldn’t be eaten no matter how impatient one was.
Sharpening the axe won’t increase the time taken to split wood- More
preparation may quicken the speed in doing work
It took time for their mentalities to calm down.
Wei Xiao entangled himself with Lu Feng and didn’t go downstairs.
He boasted about his pentakill every day, and occasionally, he would show
a bit of nervousness about the trash talk he’d tossed out.
Don’t judge based on how Brother Xiao was aggressive and provoked the
whole world; he was soft in front of his sweetheart.
People could feel fear.
No matter how bold he was, Wei Xiao’s heart held a weakness named
Close.
“Captain, I’m not going to mess up, will I?”
Without waiting for Lu Feng to open his mouth to speak, Wei Xiao went on
by himself, “I definitely won’t!”
Lu Feng comforted him. “Maintain your current state, and it won’t be much
of a problem.”
Wei Xiao nodded. “Yeah! You’ll press Old Yue to death, and Old Yue will
beat Kim Sung-hyun head on. Brother Ning will mess up God Xie, and
Brother Cai will suppress Captain Yan… perfect!”
Lu Feng looked at him. “What about you?”
“Me?” Wei Xiao’s eyes curved. “I’m going to tear Yuan Ze apart with my
hands, beat up God Kim, cut God Xie down until he cries, and crush
Captain Yan!”
Not bad; he might be small, but he had a big appetite.
His mouth spoke wild words, but his heart was still uncertain.
While sleeping, Wei Xiao would hug Lu Feng tight, unconsciously pouring
out all the words in his heart––
“Want the world championship, want the captain… free…”
The last two words were like a knife made out of sugar. It stabbed right into
the tip of Lu Feng’s heart.
Win the world championship.
Hold up the golden dragon cup.
Only then would FTW really belong to them.

Ch214.1 - Idols are meant to get...
Holidays always went by quickly, especially when they were short.
Two days’ time wasn’t enough for them to recover from the excitement of
winning the championship, but Chen Feng had already dragged them back
to the training room one by one in preparation of going over the game
replays of the national finals.
Brother Cai had gone back to his hometown and returned with a lot of local
specialties. He also had spicy pork jerky cooked by Father Cai.
When Wei Xiao came in, Little Ning was in the midst of exclaiming, “It’s
so good! It’s fragrant and spicy, and the taste lingers between the lips and
teeth!”
Bai Cai was delighted. He took out his cell phone and said, “God Ning, say
more since you know what to say; my dad loves to hear such things.”
Little Ning immediately sat upright, just like a food anchor when they
tasted food in an exaggerated manner and praised the spicy jerky as
something that only existed in heaven; it was 100% delicious!
Ning Zhehan noticed Wei Xiao and immediately beckoned him over.
“Brother Xiao, give it a try, this jerky is really tasty!”
Wei Xiao: “……” Of course he knew it was delicious. In the past, he could
eat a whole catty of it on his own. However… he shouldn’t eat spicy food
right now.
Bai Cai got it. “He doesn’t like eating it.”
Wei Xiao sighed; Sigh, it’s true that one couldn’t have the best of both
worlds. When one has love, then something else has to be given up.
Ning Zhehan was surprised. “Brother Xiao doesn’t like to eat such delicious
jerky?!”
Wei Xiao steeled himself and pushed forward. “It’s…”
Unexpectedly, Father Cai’s surprised voice came out from Bai Cai’s cell
phone, “Little Xiao? Little Xiao loves to eat the jerky that I make. Last year
when he came to my house, he ate a whole catty of it and took away two
more. He even put in a preorder with me for the next pig!”
Bai Cai: “!”
Damn it, he’d forgotten to turn off the video call just now so that Ning
Zhehan could blow out his rainbow farts!
He could only listen as Father Cai continued, “Little Ning, don’t listen to
Baibai’s nonsense. He’s messing around and purposely not letting Little
Xiao eat. Quickly give it to him, he loves to eat it the most.”
Wei Xiao was the most unable to stand up for himself against this kind of
loving and amiable parent. He rushed over to say hello, the words from his
mouth sweet as he said a whole basket of good things, directly making Old
Bai’s Father’s face light up with happiness.
“Try it, quickly. Last time, you said it wasn’t spicy enough, so I put in more
this time. I picked out these peppers myself, and it’s definitely spicy enough
now!”
Brother Cai, who was a straight man but knew no less than a gay: “……”
Little Ning, who knew nothing. “It’s really enough! It’s super spicy!”
Wei Xiao was really unable to hold up against Old Bai’s Father’s expectant
gaze. He picked up a piece of fiery red jerky, knowing with one glance that
it was a piece of spicy jerky that would cause problems as long as it was
eaten.
“Cough……”
Father Cai: “Try it!”
Wei Xiao’s heart leapt, and he was about to abandon himself.
“Enough.” Bai Cai snatched up the jerky and said to his father, “Wei Xiao’s
stomach hasn’t been good these past two days, he can’t eat spicy stuff.”
Bai Cai convinced his father with a few short sentences.
It even made Father Cai say quickly, “This child, why didn’t you say so if
you aren’t feeling good? Don’t eat it, have Caicai keep it for you. You can
slowly savor it after you’re better, this kind of thing keeps well!”
Wei Xiao was finally let off the hook and quickly went with the flow.
After hanging up the video call, Little Ning looked at Wei Xiao. “Brother
Xiao, your stomach is uncomfortable?”
Wei Xiao wouldn’t lie to Uncle Cai, but he was very good at coaxing Little
Ning. It only took a few short sentences for him to convince granny gray.
Bai Cai went to find a small bag and split out a portion of the jerky to put in
the refrigerator.
He came back just in time to hear Wei Xiao’s nonsense, with Little Ning
listening to it all in a daze.
Bai Cai secretly cursed to himself––
What was Wei Xiao doing earlier?! He couldn’t even come up with an
excuse about his stomach feeling uncomfortable a while ago, but now, he
was using one trick after another on Little Ning.
He might curse, but Bai Cai’s heart actually stung a little. Wei Xiao had
such a glib tongue, but he was a person who just insisted on not lying to his
silly father.
It was nominally a game replay review, but in fact, it was more about
mobilizing the players’ mentality while suppressing their inflated little
egos.
After going through a season spanning a full half a year and finally winning
the silver dragon cup, let alone the four little ones, even the experienced
coaching staff had somewhat relaxed their vigilance.
And the global competition was coming up.
The silver dragon cup was just an entry ticket. If they didn’t settle their
hearts back down again, they would really be setting themselves up to mess
up badly.
Although the core goal wasn’t a replay review, these three games really had
value. As it progressed, the entire training room became engrossed in the
review process.
FTW had played very well, but there was also a lot that was worth learning
from TPT.
Watching these three games from the god’s perspective gave them a deeper
feeling for the game.
Two days wasn’t enough time for them to forget many of the details of the
game, but looking at it again now still made them feel surprised.
They marveled at Fu Li’s coordination, marveled at TPT’s integrity, and

they were also surprised at each TPT player’s robust mindset.
Especially in the last game. It was clearly a critical moment of life and
death, but they still maintained their high quality level of play. They weren’t
in a hurry and weren’t impatient as they nibbled at FTW’s resources and
suppressed their room for survival.
It would be hard to say who would have won or lost if it hadn’t been for
Close’s group fight in the dragon pit.
Chen Feng emphasized this segment of the game, “I listened to the team
chat. Everyone cooperated very well here.”
Lu Feng had told them all to gather, and the entire team had rallied together
quickly. There hadn’t been even half a second of delay, and this had been
the critical point.
If Ning Zhehan had hesitated for half a second, then he would’ve teleported
over half a second late.
If Bai Cai had hesitated for half a second and failed to give their team the
speed buff, his teammates wouldn’t have been able to rush over in time.
It was even more important that Wei Xiao and Yue Wenle hadn’t hesitated.
They were the core DPS dealers, and if they’d arrived any later, then Lu
Feng would’ve charged up only to die in vain.
Lu Feng had given them a very limited time frame. As long as any one of
them had delayed just a little bit, their victory might have gone to TPT.
However, no one had delayed, and no one had hesitated.
With one single order, he’d called over thousands of troops.
The victory in the dragon pit had been won through sheer power on FTW’s
side!
Chen Feng praised Ning Zhehan’s snatching of the dragon.
Little Ning was shy. “It was good luck.”
Chen Feng: “Luck is also a kind of strength.”
Little Ning scratched his hair and was foolishly happy.
After they finished going through the games, the door to the training room
opened, and Brother Liu came in, looking excited.
Chen Feng: “What’s the matter?”

Xiang Liu: “Training match!”
Chen Feng frowned. “With who?”
Xiang Liu: “EVE. Their coach just called to make an appointment…”

Damn it, EVE’s beautiful coach had given him a call; Brother Liu’s head
was a little up in the clouds!
Wei Xiao’s eyes brightened. “Let’s do it!”
EVE was like a painkiller! This training match was worth its weight in
gold!
Chen Feng nodded. “Time.”
Xiang Liu: “Six o’clock in the afternoon.”
It was already four o’clock in the afternoon. After having a meal and taking
a break, it would be six.
Using EVE to warm up, not bad!
Things were different after winning the championship. Little Ning no

longer cowered and was even a little eager for a fight. “God Xie, my idol.”
Which mid-laner didn’t treat him as their idol?
Wei Xiao quipped, “Idols are meant to get f*ck–…”
Bai Cai’s ears hurt. “Can you f*cking talk like a human being, or not.”
Wei Xiao’s expression was innocent. “How am I not talking like a human
being?”
Bai Cai: “You said…”
Wei Xiao: “Idol are meant to get f*cked up, what’s the problem with that?”
Bai Cai: “……………”
There was really a difference between getting f*cked and getting f*cked up,
but…
Wei Xiao smiled like a fox. “Old Bai, you’re so dirty, what’s the matter
with you? Hurry up and find a bottle of disinfectant to clean up your brain.”
Brother Cai: “…………” He was going to be angered to death by this dog

sooner or later!
Chen Feng was very satisfied with this sudden training match. Using EVE
to cool down their mental state before the competition worked out just right.
At dinner, Wei Xiao asked Lu Feng secretly, “Captain, were you the one
who made an appointment with God Xie?”
Lu Feng shook his head.
Wei Xiao wondered about it. “Then why did God Xie suddenly want to play
a training match with us?”
Without waiting for Lu Feng to answer, Wei Xiao had already found an
answer to the question. “Could it be because he was shocked by our
performance in the finals?”
There was no need to provide accompaniment; Wei Xiao was very skilled at
solo cross-talk. “Sigh, this is what it’s like to be strong, they all want to play
with us…”
Lu Feng fed him a mouthful of congee. “Eat.”
Wei Xiao ate his congee delightedly.
Why did EVE want to have a training match with FTW?

The finals was one reason for it, but the other reason was selfishness on Xie
He’s part.
As for what that selfishness was…
They’d know after they finished playing.
Both sides were very punctual. They opened up the game room ten minutes
in advance, then started on time at six.
There wasn’t much to say about the training match, they just had to fight
and be done with it.
Chen Feng gave them a relatively conservative line-up to start with during
BP, and EVE didn’t show any ambiguity at all as they locked in the
immortal warlock with their first position. It was clear that they wanted to
teach them a lesson.
Wei Xiao grew excited. “Laozi’s going to blow him up!”
Little Ning was also arrogant. “Hammer him!”
Ning Zhehan was given a bouncing and jumping fire mage.
Ning Zhehan: “…………” How was he supposed to fight with this? The
immortal warlock could fly and attack the fire mage until it went into
seclusion.
Chen Feng splashed cold water on him directly. “If I got you the spirit
mage, you’d be beaten into seclusion even more.”
At the end of the day, they were still old teammates. Chen Feng had more
than just a little bit of understanding regarding Xie He.
When this fellow took out the immortal warlock, then it meant that he was
going to go up against the heavens and the earth. In a conventional game,
the spirit mage could hold up against the immortal warlock, but Chen Feng
didn’t give Ning Zhehan the spirit mage.
It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in Ning Zhehan, but because it was

unnecessary.
Even if it was a proper game, it was always 100 times better to avoid Xie
He like the wind when he took the immortal warlock.
There were differences in both strength and experience. Why gamble on

luck?
Besides, Ning Zhehan’s spirit mage might not be able to beat Xie He, but it
could beat other mid-laners.
If it was taken out for the training match, it wouldn’t be worth it if he was
beaten into seclusion by Xie He and left with a psychological shadow
regarding the spirit mage, affecting his performance in subsequent matches.
These things that Chen Feng thought of might seem like he was making a
mountain out of a molehill to those who hadn’t yet experienced it before.
How could it be so exaggerated?
It was a competitive game, and they were all professional players. How
could the difference be so big?
In fact, the gap was bigger than what could be seen.
The cruelty of the competition lay in the fact that ‘unfairness’ always
existed in fairness.
Talent, luck, confidence.
The gaps between different people would be infinitely magnified when they
were in the same field.
Until they were incredibly large.

xiin: i fell asleep and forgot that i hadn’t posted a glory chapter yet
@[email protected]
Ch214.2 - Is God Xie shy?
What did it mean to have a cold basin of water poured over their head?
Ning Zhehan understood it as soon as the game began.
China competition zone’s champion?
The number one mage king in China?
The rookie king who won the championship in his first season?
Wake up!
In front of God Xie, you are nothing!
Ning Zhehan sucked in a breath. “I need support!”
He now realized Chen Feng’s good intentions. The fire mage was famous
for being fast at clearing lane soldiers. Tossing out the first skill plus a
fireball would create stacked explosion damage that quickly cleared out the
lane.
The immortal warlock was a ‘little cripple’ before level six, and even flying
around with the connecting clouds wouldn’t deal much damage. It might
even get taken down to half health by the fire mage’s ranged damage as it
tried to clear the lane soldiers.
However…
Ning Zhehan, who’d taken a fire mage, wasn’t even as fast at clearing lane
soldiers as Xie He was!
How was he doing it?

In fact, he knew how it had been accomplished, but how could he dare to
play like that?
When it came to confidence, once it had been accumulated to a certain

degree, it became a very arrogant and outrageous strength!
Brother Cai: “The pressure on this side isn’t small, either.”
Although EVE was a team with a mid-laner core, their ADC was also
famous globally, and their jungler and support were like a pair of Siamese
conjoined twins, pressuring Yue Wenle so much that he could only hide
beneath his tower.
Ning Zhehan: “Ouch!”
He’d been hit by the immortal warlock and lost a quarter of his health. It
was clearly his character in the canyon who’d been hit, but he personally
felt like he’d been cut by a knife.
Wei Xiao: “I’m coming.”
Ning Zhehan’s expression was bitter. “I think EVE’s jungler is in the upper
bushes.”
Wei Xiao took a look at his field of vision. “I’ll go in from the bottom.”
What they hadn’t expected was that EVE’s jungler wasn’t in the upper
bushes, but in the bottom lane.
Fortunately, Wei Xiao was still careful and didn’t try to check the bushes
with his character. Otherwise, he would be a dead thief.
Ning Zhehan was surprised. “I just saw him clearing the bugs in the upper
river zone. How come he’s now…” When had he gone over there? Could
the players from strong teams all move in the blink of an eye?!
Wei Xiao didn’t have to speak. He and EVE’s jungler exchanged a round of
attacks, and seeing that the immortal warlock was coming close, he spoke
urgently, “Little Ning!”
The fire mage might be scared, but the cooperation that they had trained
was still present. He shot out fireballs one after another to block the
immortal warlock’s path.
Xie He gave up on Wei Xiao and went for Ning Zhehan instead. Ning
Zhehan squeaked and squawked and narrowly made his escape by using
flash.
There was a small round of fighting in the middle lane, but no casualties
from either side. In the overall situation, FTW lost a little because Ning
Zhehan had to use his flash.
Chen Feng let out a sigh. He could already see where this was going.
He was too familiar with Xie He’s routine, and he knew what he was
thinking at a glance.
The fire mage had used up its flash before level six. At the moment when
the immortal warlock reached level six and could fly up with thousand
layers of clouds, the fire mage would definitely die.
Ning Zhehan: “Wu!”
There was no suspense. When the thousand layers of clouds covered the
middle lane, the fire mage’s soul was sent back home.
The toppled Ning Zhehan cried and wailed, “Brother Xiao…”
Wei Xiao picked up the thread of the conversation. “Got f*cked over by
your idol?”
Little Ning burst out into tears with a wail.
Chen Feng took in the whole situation and had an understanding of what
was happening in his heart.
There was definitely a gap between FTW and EVE, and this gap wasn’t
small.
EVE’s top-laner, Smith, was a steady veteran. He might not be able to
suppress Close, but he was enough to hold him down without losing First
Blood.
Their jungler CC had been a rookie in Europe last year. He was a tall and
buff man who had an eye for detail, and had very much grasped the essence
of playing a toolman jungler. EVE’s mid-jungler linkage was one of their
special features.
In the bottom lane, M and D were two good brothers. They were a famous
pair of ‘Siamese twins’ in Glory.
It was said that the two of them had been together since their debut, and
they’d also transferred together. They’d been playing Glory for five years,
and had never separated during their careers.
The phrase ‘feelings were stronger than gold’ probably referred to this kind
of good fellow brothers!
Not to mention, they had Xie He in the middle lane.
The world’s number one mage king, an honored player in the Temple of
Glory, and the one whose immortal warlock gave game planners headaches
as big as a herd of oxen.
If they nerfed it, then what about ordinary players?
If they didn’t nerf it, then this ‘Xie’ immortal warlock had too much of an
influence on the balance of the competition system!
That FTW was able to play back and forth with them said a lot about their
great progress over the past six months.
Their national championship hadn’t been won for nothing, and their 3:0
score hadn’t been achieved by luck.
The growth of the four little ones was visible to the naked eye, and they
were only lacking experience to catch up to the world’s top teams!
They played a total of six training matches, and FTW won three of them.
If these results were posted online, it would be enough for fans to boast for
half a year.
However, FTW’s egos weren’t inflated. They, especially Chen Feng, could
see the situation very clearly.
In the first two matches, FTW had been badly battered. One match had been
a sudden death match, and they’d had no way to turn the tables in the
second match. In the third match, EVE had let out the shadow thief, and
Wei Xiao had gone on a killing spree, snatching up the rhythm and killing
his way through the game.
They lost the fourth match, and from the fifth match onwards, EVE was no
longer as aggressive, allowing FTW to gradually adapt to this pace. The
four little ones’ biggest advantage was that they had a healthy mentality and
were very serious no matter how long they played for.
So, FTW won both the fifth and sixth match.
The results of the training matches should be taken with a grain of salt.
EVE certainly hadn’t tried their best, and FTW hadn’t tried their best either.
The difference in strength was one factor for why they’d lost the first two
matches so miserably, but another reason for it was their relaxed spirits after
winning the championship.
Even so, it was excellent that they’d been able to win the last two matches.
Having a good attitude, playing stably, and being serious and conscientious
were all rare good qualities.
Chen Feng was very satisfied with the training matches and was already
preparing to stay up late to sort out the data for the postgame reviews.
After the training match ended, neither side was in a rush to leave the game
room.
Wei Xiao: “God Xie, how’s my team’s Little Ning?”
Brother Cai muttered in his heart: It’s starting, he’s f*cking starting again!
Xie He: “Ha.”
Wei Xiao: “Then, what about me?”
Wei Xiao: “You see, I killed you three times in the last game.”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t you want to take revenge?!”
Xie He: “Come on.”
Wei Xiao immediately left the room and sent him a new invite.
This was such a good opportunity. How could he satisfy his cravings
without a few solo games ?
So, Xie He and Wei Xiao played seven or eight games while everyone
watched.
Both of them were peak level opportunists who managed a one-to-one

winning rate. They would attack if the opportunity could be seized, and
they always fought to the death, leaving the very air charged with
murderous intent.
Ning Zhehan’s heart pounded as he watched from the side. “If my immortal
warlock could be at this level…”
Although the win rate was even, one was a mage and the other was a
jungler. Reasonably speaking, the mage should be smeared all over the
ground by the thief when they soloed.
But now, it was an even win rate, which was enough to prove how powerful
Xie He was.
Wei Xiao tsked, “God Xie’s play style is really very special…”
His thoughts churned, and he came up with another idea. “God Xie!”
Xie He: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “My Little Ning wants to solo with you too!”
I don’t, I didn’t, Brother Xiao, don’t say nonsense about me!
Xie He was merciless. “No time.”
When Ning Zhehan saw this, he felt both a little disappointed and very
relieved.
Wei Xiao wasn’t about to let Xie He go like that. “The timing is something
we can discuss, right.”
He had a level of understanding in his heart that Xie He must have been
aiming for something when he arranged for this training match. If he didn’t
try to probe it out now, then when?
Wei Xiao spoke euphemistically, “How about this? We can’t let you work in
vain. You can ask for anything you want after soloing?”
Wei Xiao dared to say this because had a level of certainty in his heart.
Xie He wasn’t Old Dog Yuan, and he wouldn’t act like a chicken thief.
Xie He paused briefly. “Solo is possible.”
Wei Xiao: “Then…”

Xie He: “In another location.”
Wei Xiao: “Where do you want to go? Just say it. How about coming to the
FTW base?” He’d only mentioned it casually and hadn’t expected to have
hit the heart of the matter.
Xie He typed, “Okay.”
Wei Xiao blinked.
Xie He then added another sentence, “FTW’s old base.”
Wei Xiao got it. He tilted his head to look at Lu Feng. “Captain, is God Xie
missing home?”
It was fortunate that they hadn’t turned on voice chat. Otherwise, if Xie He
heard these words, he might become embarrassed and angry enough to fly
directly back to Europe!
Lu Feng was stunned for a brief moment, and then his lips curved up
slightly. “I don’t know.”
Wei Xiao smiled like a fox as he replied back to Xie He, “Sure, there’s a
complete set of equipment over there. Let alone soloing, it wouldn’t even be
a problem to play training matches.”
Xie He: “Oh.”
Wei Xiao: “Then, I’ll pick you up tomorrow?”
Xie He: “Oh.”
Wei Xiao continued, “Should I call my Captain over too?”
Wei Xiao quickly added, “Oh, my captain’s not free. He has a meeting in
the morning.”
Xie He: “…………”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make the proper arrangements and
ensure that you feel right at home.”
Ding dong.
EVE.Xiehe left the room.
Wei Xiao looked at Lu Feng again, “Is this God Xie being shy?”
Lu Feng stretched out his index finger and flicked it against this little
evildoer’s forehead.
At this time…
God Kim, who was at FTW’s old base, didn’t know anything about this
upcoming ‘surprise inspection’.
Ch215.1 - Oh... the whole L&P and
Pro teams are here.
They agreed to meet the next afternoon.
Wei Xiao was quite kind about it. He asked Lu Feng, “Should we go and
inform God Kim?”
Forget about Yuan Ze; if they told him ahead of time, he might even
purposely stir up some trouble. It wouldn’t be a stretch for that old beast to
turn around, tie EVE and FTW together, and then screw them over together.
Kim Sung-hyun had a good reputation in FTW, and Wei Xiao cared about
him.
Lu Feng: “Whatever you want.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved. “Alright, I’ll take care of it!”
He gave Kim Sung-hyun a call, but he’d never thought that God Kim would
actually have his phone off.
Wei Xiao spread his hands. “In that case, there’s no helping it.”
The corner of Lu Feng’s lips also curved up slightly.
Brother Cai, who was listening to the side, felt panic choke his heart.
There was a sweet little fox hanging around the black-bellied great demon
king…
Team of Gods, you’re on your own!

Wei Xiao really had made the phone call, and Kim Sung-hyun really had his
phone off, but if he was serious about informing him, he could’ve asked
Brother Liu to contact the club manager or someone else in the team, or
even leave a WeChat message.
But…
Wei Xiao understood what Lu Feng meant with his ‘whatever you want’.
He didn’t want to give Kim Sung-hyun an advance warning that badly.
It had been three years. Playing a prank on them wasn’t so bad.
Close might feel bad doing it, but Quiet didn’t mind at all!
Why was Kim Sung-hyun’s phone turned off? There was actually a reason
behind it.
Before the Chinese finals, Kim Sung-hyun had promised to go back to FTW
with Xie He and take a look around after the game.
On the first day after the game, Kim Sung-hyun avoided Xie He.
On the second day, Kim Sung-hyun remained silent.
On the third day, Xie He gave him a call.
Kim Sung-hyun: “I have quite a lot of training matches scheduled. How

about…”
There was a click as Xie He hung up.
If he didn’t want to go, then forget it! So, he’d arrange a training match
with FTW instead and rush up to ‘send out kills’.
Kim Sung-hyun felt guilty, so he simply turned his phone off and played
dead.
The next day, Lu Feng assigned Wei Xiao a driver and let him out to play.
Before leaving, Wei Xiao asked Lu Feng, “You really won’t come?”
Lu Feng really had something to do. “No.”
Wei Xiao: “Alright! Wait for my good news!”
Lu Feng smiled. “Don’t mess around too fiercely.”
Wei Xiao: “I have a sense of discretion~!”
He wasn’t going alone. Little Secretary Cai had taken a high hourly salary
to accompany President Wei to go on an expedition at the old base.
Wei Xiao disdained him. “What are you coming with me for?”
Brother Cai casually spoke nonsense, “Helping the captain keep an eye on
you.”
Wei Xiao: “I won’t randomly flirt with people.”
Bai Cai: “Are you not clear in your own heart about whether or not you
f*cking would?”
There was no door on his mouth, and he could even sweet talk the great
demon king. Was there anyone else that he couldn’t sort out?
Wei Xiao cleared his throat and actually showed a slightly shy expression.
“It’s not easy having a vinegar king at home.”
Wei Xiao came up to him and asked, “Say, why does the captain like being
jealous so much?”
Brother Cai rolled his eyes.
Wei Xiao answered his own question, “Is it because he loves me so much?”
Brother Xiao became worked up about this topic, and had a deep discussion
about this problem with him the whole way there.
Bai Cai: “………………………………”
He f*cking shouldn’t have gotten into the car!
When they arrived at the hotel EVE was staying in, Brother Cai was finally
able to flee for his life and breathe again.
They arrived at just the right time. Xie He was very punctual and ran out
from the lobby as soon as the car came to a stop.
The automatic door opened, revealing Xie He in a cap, a black mask, a T-

shirt with a distinctive logo, and wide, casual pants. The trouser legs were
tucked into limited edition sneakers, and he looked both trendy and stylish.
No one else could match his 2.8 meter tall aura.
The doorman’s eyes were locked on him, and he didn’t need to speak to
convey his meaning: Which star was this?
His style was really like that of an idol.
Wei Xiao greeted him, “Did God Xie come alone?”
Xie He was wearing a mask, and his voice was a little muffled, “Mm.”
Wei Xiao didn’t say anything else, and they got into the car together.
Brother Cai greeted Xie He, and Xie He made a sound in response.
FTW wasn’t far from the hotel. It was a 15-16 minute drive.
Xie He had a cold personality and didn’t speak much. Brother Cai didn’t
dare try to strike up a conversation with him, but Wei Xiao didn’t care. He
casually brought up yesterday’s training match, talking on his own without
any embarrassment.
They went the same route as before. The car first drove past FTW’s current
base, and looking out from the window, the lush gardens and the villa
nestled within gave the summer afternoon a feeling of coolness and
tranquility.
Wei Xiao looked at Xie He. “Do you want to see the new base while you’re
here?”
Xie He shook his head. “No need.”
Wei Xiao: “In that case, let’s go directly to the old base.”
Xie He nodded and turned to look out the window at this familiar, yet
strange scene.
The urban area in S City had changed a lot. Three years was neither long
nor short; for a small familiar town, it might even remain unchanged over a
long period of time like the flowing streams in the village. For the ever-
changing big cities, three years was an earth-shaking amount of time.
The e-sports park was in the suburbs, and it was a new project that had been
completed a year ago.
The old FTW base was also in this area, but there had been no concept of an
e-sports park at the time. Clubs had just settled there without any pre-
agreements, and only later was an e-sports park planned in the area.
Xie He was an S City native, but by now, he’d been wandering outside for
three years.
How could he not be homesick?
He missed the people close to him, and he missed everyone.
His eyelashes drooped slightly. He didn’t quite dare to look at the old FTW
base in front of him.
He felt anxious coming back after so many years of absence.

There was too much here.
There was laughter, passion, struggle, and glory.
And that final, lonely end.
Young and powerless, he could only go far away from home.
No matter how much bitterness one suffered away from home, no matter
how tired one became, how much blood and sweat was shed, none of it
could beat the feeling of this first glance of revisiting one’s old home.
––To feel aggrieved.
This was an emotion that could only grow at home.
Xie He was in a complicated mood when the car came to a sudden stop.
Wei Xiao: “God Xie?”
Xie He pressed down the brim of his cap. “Mm.”
They got out of the car together and walked towards this vacant villa, step
by step.
Xie He looked at it unblinkingly with mixed feelings in his heart; although

no one was living there anymore, it had been kept very tidy and clean.
Three years ago, the building had been abandoned and left empty. The fact
that there was no decay meant that Close had protected it well.
He’d heard that FTW had moved out of this base a year ago, but
unexpectedly, it still seemed to contain a sense of human habitation. It was
quite…
His thoughts stopped abruptly.
Because of that very familiar, angry and cursing voice that he occasionally
heard in his dreams, “Old Shit Yuan, you f*cking killed me four times!”
Through the second floor window, there was a certain ADC whose mixed
Korean and Chinese communication intensified whenever he was worked
up, “You’re done for! Let me tell you, you and Old G are done for, I’m
going to let you understand what it means for your life to be ruined with
Daddy Kim here!”
Xie He: “………………”
At this moment, Xie He, who thought he was having hearing hallucinations,
looked first at Wei Xiao, then at Bai Cai.
The little white cabbage trembled and wished he could shrink back behind
Brother Xiao.
Wei Xiao smiled like a fox. “It’s quite lively.”
Xie He: “Kim Sung-hyun?”
Wei Xiao: “Captain Yuan is here too. Oh… the whole L&P and Pro teams
are here.”
Xie He: “………………………………”
It was clear just from listening to the sounds from upstairs that the two
teams were in the midst of playing a training match.
Wei Xiao didn’t act polite with them. These fellows were eating and living
there for nothing, so to hell with sneaking around! He would openly and
blatantly go in to watch their training match, and even a closed door
wouldn’t stop him––Wei Xiao had keys!
Coincidentally, the teams upstairs had just finished a game. It sounded like
L&P won, and Kim Sung-hyun had been cut down miserably, dying at Yuan
Ze’s hands four times over.
They were just about to start the next game when the door opened.
The door was only so big. Wei Xiao was at the front, and Brother Cai was
next. Xie He was blocked tightly from view.
The people in the training room all called out greetings when they saw that
it was Little Lunatic Wei, “You came at just the right time. Do you want to
watch the training match?”
They weren’t treating Wei Xiao like an outsider and invited him to watch
the fight.
Wei Xiao chuckled and moved to the side. Brother Cai didn’t dare laugh,
but he cooperated very well.
As soon as the two of them got out of the way, it left Xie He standing on his
own at the entrance. His appearance shocked everyone in the whole training
room!
Old G: “Xiexie…”
Yuan Ze bonked him on the head. Old G covered his head and shut up.
Old Dog Yuan really lived up to his name. He was still able to laugh when
faced with this embarrassing scene, and he even invited Xie He to come in
and watch the training match.
His black eyes shifted to Kim Sung-hyun.
God Kim: “!”
He really wished he could hide even just half of himself behind Li Heran.
Xie He spoke half a second later, “You guys live here?” His voice was as
cold as could be, making everyone in the training room feel that today’s air
conditioner had been turned on a little too strong. It was as cold as the dead
of winter.
Kim Sung-hyun: “…… Cough.”

At this moment, Proud Flower Kim was like the husband or wife who’d
been caught cheating in bed again. It was embarrassing enough to send him
spiraling up to heaven!
Yuan Ze was inhumanly good at tossing the blame around. “Yeah, I wanted
to borrow a place to live at FTW’s new base at first, but Kim Sung-hyun
came here afterwards, so I came over to keep him company.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “???” He had an amazing ability to confuse even black

and white.
Xie He turned to Kim Sung-hyun, “You’ve been living here the whole
time…”
F*ck. Kim Sung-hyun didn’t have time to deal with Old Shit. He would
first explain himself before figuring out the rest, “I got fooled by Yuan Ze.
You…” He glanced at Wei Xiao. “Quiet, come testify for me!”
Wei Xiao blinked.
Kim Sung-hyun urged him to speak.
Wei Xiao spoke, “If God Kim doesn’t want to live here, how about…”
He was a little beast who had inherited his beastliness from one generation
to another. How could he have any expectations for Little Lunatic Wei?!
Yuan Ze was getting into it, “Since God Kim doesn’t want to live here, Old
Xie, how about moving in? You know how many rooms there are here, just
enough for two teams. Anything more won’t fit.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “!”
God Xie: “……”

His eyelashes drooped slightly. This expression, could it be that he was
really considering it?
Kim Sung-hyun: “Nonsense, we’ve already settled in, and the globals are
coming up. What’s the point in tossing about.”
Yuan Ze: “There’s still ten days.”
Xie He: “Nine days.”
Yuan Ze: “Staying at the hotel must cost at least 20,000 a day, right?”
Considering the team and its entourage, this figure was a conservative
estimate.
Xie He: “Mm.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Old Xie, you don’t have to concern yourself with the
operations of the team. Who are you saving this spending money for…”
Yuan Ze: “Besides, we can play training matches anytime and anywhere
over here.”
Kim Sung-hyun glared at him. “Shut up!”
Yuan Ze really did as he asked and mimicked pulling a zipper shut over his
mouth.
Xie He: “Oh yeah.”

Ch215.2 - Does the whole world
know how f*cking smart you are?!
Bai Caicai, who was watching from the side, was shocked silly.
This was the Team of Gods?
This was the legendary, high and unattainable Team of Gods who were each
more badass, more famous, and more domineering than each other?
As the well-informed Gossip Emperor, Bai Cai had received a lot of messy
gossip about the Team of Gods.
No matter which big author or how long or detailed the article was, they
never followed this kind of style!
The bitter hatred that was spread through the Team of Gods was well-
established in the fan circle!
Who could’ve known that the real Team of Gods was actually…
The filters had been broken. The Gossip Emperor wouldn’t be able to
gossip about the Team of Gods in the future.
This sand sculpture aura that smacked him right in the face…
It was an official OOC!
Wei Xiao was really worthy of being the leader of the new generation of
(sand sculpture) FTW. He came up with a genius move as soon as he
opened his mouth, “I have an idea!”
The three of them looked at him simultaneously.

Wei Xiao: “Only two teams can live here. Since everyone wants to move in,
how about holding a battle.”
The three members from the Team of Gods: “???”
Yuan Ze reacted the fastest. “There’s no need for me to compete, let’s invite
God Kim and God Xie.”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t do that, everyone should compete fairly.”
Kim Sung-hyun had been tricked into a half-dead state by Yuan Ze. How
would he be willing to miss out on this opportunity? He spoke up
immediately, “Okay, let’s battle.”
Wei Xiao wasn’t afraid of making the excitement bigger. “Is Captain Yuan
scared?”
Proud Flower Kim chimed in, stating coldly, “Make room for others if
you’re scared.”
Alright, then. The goals changed, and they all began to fight over who
could move in. It was no longer clear who had looked like they were
constipated when they saw the old base a few days ago or if they’d wanted
to bang their heads against the wall.
Scared?
Who was scared?
They could be afraid of anyone but these guys!
So, the three of them came to a decision and decided to fight over their spot
at the base!
Yuan Ze: “Solo?”

This so-called battle could only be like this. So, they’d solo; Yuan Ze’s title
as a solo king didn’t come into existence through exaggeration.
Kim Sung-hyun and Xie He were just about to agree when Wei Xiao spoke
up, “Don’t do that.”
Everyone looked at him again.
How could Wei Xiao give such simple advice? He definitely had to strive
for some benefits, “What’s the point in solo? Come and play 5v5 training
matches!”
What was the point in solo? Anyone could say this sentence, but Wei Xiao,
you crazy solo demon, didn’t deserve to say such a thing!
However, Brother Cai didn’t dare to say anything about it. The whole floor
was filled with big guys, and he just wanted to crawl under the table.
Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun, and Xie He all paused.
Xie He spoke up first, “Okay.”
This ** tone instantly fired up the other two. “Okay.”
In any case, there was no lack of training matches prior to the globals, and
they just had to play and be done with it. There was even a bonus if they
won, which made things exciting.
Wei Xiao started up again, “There’s another condition.”
Yuan Ze: “What?”
Wei Xiao: “Include FTW.”
The little white cabbage in the corner: “!” F*ck, Little Lunatic Wei really
deserved his reputation. This scheme of his ran deep, and it even managed
to encompass the Team of Gods?!
They were all experienced people. Who wouldn’t understand what he
meant?
Yuan Ze stared at him. “You’re clever.”
Wei Xiao was bold and reasonable. “The base belongs to FTW. As the
landlords, we’re eligible to participate.” The implication was that they were
fighting over FTW’s real estate. The fact that they weren’t paying rent
could be overlooked, but they had to involve them in the training matches.
This truth was very solid, and no one could refute it.
Yuan Ze thought it over. “How will we play?”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Draw lots, elimination system.”
Xie He: “Round robin.”
The three of them looked at him.
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved. “How about this? In any case, our FTW won’t get
any reward if we win, so we won’t seek to rank. Instead, we’ll try our best
to act as sandbags for you.”
Yuan Ze could vaguely guess what was in this little beast’s mind.
At the end of the day, Kim Sung-hyun and Xie He were still ‘naïve’.
“Sandbags?”
Wei Xiao: “Yeah. Each of your teams will play ten games with FTW.
Winning one game means one point, and the two teams who end up with
the highest points will live here. How about it?”
Brother Cai, who was spectating from the side, stumbled and almost fell to
the ground.
Everyone in the training room who could understand Chinese:
“………………”
Only you, Little Lunatic Wei. Does the whole world know how f*cking
smart you are?!
Trying to gain training matches empty-handed and making such high-level,

high quality attempts at that.
Was FTW a sandbag?
They were clearly the biggest winners!
When Yuan Ze went up against Little Lunatic Wei, he was often left
propping up his forehead with his hand because he himself wasn’t enough
of a beast. “Won’t you be tired? Won’t your teammates be tired?”
His appetite was so big, and he wasn’t afraid of dying from overdoing it.
FTW would tire themselves to death with 30 games!
Wei Xiao: “What’s there to be tired about? My teammates are in good shape
and it won’t be a problem to fight 300 rounds.”
Caicai, as one of the teammates: I’m not, I didn’t, don’t drag me into the
water with you!
It was impossible for them to agree to this.
If they really agreed, then Lulu would kill them.
Yuan Ze made a decision, “Round robin point system.”
Wei Xiao pouted.
Yuan Ze glared at him. “Be satisfied with what you get.”
Wei Xiao refused, “Two cycles!”
Everyone: “……”
This so-called round robin point system meant that the four teams would
each fight each other. Using FTW as an example, they would play one game
with each of the other three teams, and then their scores would be
calculated.
After all the games were fought, the ranking would be based on the score.
Two cycles of round robin meant to cycle through the teams twice. Using
FTW as an example, they would play two games with each of the other
three games. The score calculation method remained the same.
Wei Xiao continued his efforts, “Or how about three cycles?”
Everyone: “……” Even 30 cycles wouldn’t be enough to satisfy you!
“We’ll go with that.” Yuan Ze said, “Double cycle round robin point
system. The two teams ranked at the top will live here.”
Other than Wei Xiao, everyone else was very satisfied with this.
A single cycle was a little short so a double cycle was just right.
A scuffle for the base prior to the globals…
Well, it was a little strange.
On Xie He’s side, he sent a message to his club. His club agreed
immediately.
Who would refuse such a good thing that dropped down on them like a pie
in the sky?
They would have to arrange training matches anyway, and it was great that
they could play several such high-quality training matches.
They’d all already reached this juncture, and there was nothing to hide.
Getting familiar with their opponents ahead of time was far more cost-
effective than going into the arena blindfolded.
Wei Xiao also sent a message to Lu Feng.
Wei Xiao acted well-behaved. “Praise me!”
Lu Feng: “Awesome.”
How was that acceptable? Wei Xiao continued, “Not enough!”
Lu Feng: “We’ll talk about it when you’re back.”
Wei Xiao’s heart was sweet and delighted. “I want more of what happened
last night.”
Wei Xiao: “Like this and that, then that.”
Just one word was enough to make Wei Xiao’s face heat up. He couldn’t
say any more flirty words, and just wanted to fly back and kiss his
boyfriend.
There was no time like the present. They would start that night.
Just when everyone had settled on a time, arranged the training rooms, and
finalized the lottery system…
Wei Xiao suddenly spoke up, “Speaking of which…”
Everyone looked at him, fearing that he might come up with some other
chaos!
Wei Xiao really was able to stir things up again in a big way. “How could
we forget about Captain Yan!”

There was really no need, it was fine to forget him!
Wei Little Xiao was really a cub who focused on fairness. He said quickly,
“Wait a minute, I’ll ask Captain Yan. What if he wants to move in and live
here too?”
The three people from the Team of Gods: “……”
You’re overthinking it! It’s impossible!
Wei Xiao: “Let me ask. If he’s interested, we can add Y1 into the cycle.”
Hey, they could play another two games. He was really a very unassuming
little genius!
Yuan Ze: “You…”
Kim Sung-hyun: “Shouldn’t…”
Xie He: “Waste time.”
The way this sentence connected really reflected how they were old
teammates.
Wei Xiao had already sent Yan Jiang a message. His hand speed was fast,
rapidly typing out a whole string of words.
A few seconds later, Wei Xiao spoke cheerfully, “All done!”
Yuan & Kim & Xie: “???”
Wei Xiao raised up his cell phone and showed them directly.
“Captain Yan, it’s like this…” Blah blah blah, 100 words omitted here, “Do
you want to come join us? The top two teams can live at the old FTW base
for free!”
Below that was Yan Jiang’s reply, a single, simple word. “Okay.”
Everyone who came to know this piece of news, “………………”
He agreed?
Yan Jiang agreed?
The person who was entirely removed from the world, who would be
unaffected by the destruction of the earth, the Laozi who only thought of the
beautiful and unique Y1, had actually come to join in on this sand sculpture
fun?
Wei Little Xiao: When it comes to badass operations, if I can’t do it, then
who can!
Ch216.1 - Dropping trash talk
before the game? They really had
to respect Little Lunatic Wei!
Everyone had difficulty believing it all the way until Y1’s van pulled into
the base.
Wei Xiao took the lead in welcoming them, his smile sunny as he greeted
them.
Yan Jiang was the third person to get out of the van. He was stunned for a
brief moment when he saw Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao: “Good evening, Captain Yan!”
Yan Jiang: “Hello.”
Wei Xiao: “Have you had dinner?”
Wei Xiao continued before Yan Jiang could answer, “If you haven’t eaten,
preparations have been made at the base. You can eat first if you want.”
Yan Jiang: “I’ve eaten.”
Wei Xiao led them inside. “Alright, then. Let’s quickly get started, there’s a
lot of games to play!”
It just so happened that FTW had arrived at this time, too. The old and new
bases were close to each other, and walking over was a good way to help
digest after their meal.
Ning Zhehan’s spirit had left his body from the moment he had received
news of their training matches.
“Brother Le, I didn’t hear wrong, right? L&P, EVE, Pro, Y1?”
“We’re going to play a round robin competition with them at the old
base??”
“Last year’s global top four are going to accompany us to train?”
Yue Wenle crunched and nodded.
Ning Zhehan snatched away the potato chips in his hand. There was a
crunching sound. “Holy shit, I’m so nervous!”
How the hell was this a training match? This was a rehearsal for the global
games!
Wei Xiao’s eyes were sharp, and he spotted Lu Feng from a distance.
He was no longer in a hurry to enter the building. Instead, he hurriedly

waved his hand. “Captain, over here!”
If he had greeted Y1 with a sunny smile, then at this time, his smile was so
full of vitality that it shone in all directions, bright enough to blind people!
Did he have to go so far with his captain, who he could see at any time with
ease––this was what everyone from Y1 thought––the two captains were
both cold air generators, but the Y1 members would never dare to act so
enthusiastically towards their own captain.
Lu Feng noticed the members of Y1 when he came over and nodded in

greeting. His attitude was polite and distant, but human emotion appeared
for a brief instant in those cold, black eyes when he looked at Wei Xiao.
With this contrast, the members of Y1 got it: No wonder Quiet was so
daring. It turned out that the great demon king indulged him.
Yan Jiang never showed his anger or happiness, and there was no sense of
nostalgia or sadness about revisiting his old home to be seen on his face.
There was just an aura of unchanging calm that could persist for millions of
years.
No one knew what he was thinking, just like how no one knew that the
fragmented Team of Gods would reunite with FTW in this way three years
later.
Yan Jiang, Yuan Ze, Xie He, Kim Sung-hyun, Lu Feng.
They were once the five most dazzling players in the China competition
zone. They’d experienced splitting up, confusion, torment, and ups and
downs, only to return to the place where their dreams had begun. All they
could feel was that while material things remained the same, the people
involved had changed.
The base was still the same base.
But the people who’d been in it had scattered.
Five teams. That was 25 people even if they only counted the starters.
Xiang Liu had led some people over and had started making arrangements
early on.
The base had two large training rooms and a conference room, which was
just enough for their use.
With five teams, there could only be two pairs of two fighting at any one
time. The remaining team would have to wait out a game, and this was what
the conference room was for. Of course, they could also go and watch the
game directly in the training rooms.
Xiang Liu had also made arrangements for each team’s entourage. Drinks
and snacks had been transported over from the base early on and placed
where they could be obtained easily so that everyone could eat and drink as
they wished.
Brother Liu was very steady when handling such things. There was no need
for the players to concern themselves at all as he’d already made thorough
arrangements.
The schedule for matches was also listed and put up. Five teams playing
two round robin cycles meant that there would be quite a few games. Each
game would last around 40 minutes, and it would be enough for them to
play all the way until the next day.
However, everyone was in high spirits, and let alone playing until the
second day, even playing until the third day wouldn’t be much of a
problem.
There was no need for an exchange of greetings with so many people

present, and they started playing directly. The first game in Training Room
A was FTW vs L&P; Training Room B was EVE vs Pro. Y1 would just be
watching the games for the time being.
Wei Xiao felt a bit regretful about this.
Yuan Ze noticed. “What, you don’t want to fight with me?”
Wei Xiao sighed.
Yuan Ze: “Scared of me?”
Wei Xiao: “Last year’s champion team is here, but we have to ‘start off’
with the runner-up team. How could I not be regretful?”
Yuan Ze: “………………”
Gary, who understood Chinese: “Quiet, you’re dead for sure!”
Wei Xiao comforted himself, “According to the rules, the opening game
should be between the champions and the runner-ups. Looking at it that
way, if you’re the runner-ups, then are we the champions?”
The implication was that they’d already locked in this year’s global
championship!
Everyone in the training room who understood Chinese: “…………”
Dropping trash talk before the game? They really had to respect Little
Lunatic Wei!
Old G was successfully enraged and swore a hard oath. If he didn’t win this
game, then he’d write his name upside down!
This was the effect that Wei Xiao wanted. He wanted to really fight! They
had to play all out with such a good opportunity!
Y1 was watching the games. They chose to stay in Training Room A.
Little Ning was nervous enough to explode. As soon as he thought of how

the person sitting behind him was Yan Jiang from the champion team from
last year, the legendary Y1, he had difficulty holding the mouse in his hand!
Wei Xiao was different. He turned back. “Captain Yan, come over here.”
Wei Xiao’s lips curved, “Witness how I screw over Old G.”
Gary: “…………”
Yuan Ze rolled his eyes. “Enough…”
He choked before he could finish speaking, because Yan Jiang really did
slide his e-sports chair over to sit behind Wei Xiao.
The dozen plus people in the room: “………………”
This favoritism was too obvious!
Even Y1’s jungler was jealous!
Oh, and FTW’s top-laner was also jealous.

Wei Xiao was keenly aware of his captain’s attitude from where he sat to
his left and spoke quickly, “God Hai (Y1’s jungler), don’t be jealous, I’m
not snatching away your captain. Look, I have my own captain!”
His desire for survival was very strong. His words may be telling Hai not to
be jealous, but in fact, he was coaxing his own boyfriend.
Hai’s Chinese was average. He only understood half of what he heard and
cluelessly looked over at his own captain.
How would Yan Jiang be willing to explain it to him?
Wei Xiao didn’t say it again in English. He was saying it for his own
boyfriend to hear, so there was no need to translate it!
Lu Feng: “The shadow thief has been let out.” One sentence was enough to
clear away all of Wei Xiao’s thoughts.
L&P hadn’t banned the shadow thief in round one and had boldly released
it out to play.
Chen Feng: “Lock it in.”
They were in one training room, and everyone was facing each other. There
was no need to communicate too much during the BP segment. Although
there was a ‘prize’ for winning, it was still a training match. No matter how
seriously it was played, it still couldn’t be compared with the real
competition.
Wei Xiao asked L&P directly, “You guys are that confident?”
Old G: “Are you taking it or not? If you don’t want it, I’ll take it!”
It just so happened that Wei Xiao was in the first position. He locked it in
directly.
Gary: “Watch me hammer you to bits.” He snatched up the death knight as

he spoke. It seemed that he planned to use the death knight as a jungler
talent.
Speaking of which, the death knight had quite an advantage against the
shadow thief. It had many control skills and could stack up to multi-layer
control with its combos. As long as it could send the shadow thief flying, it
would be an easy matter for the death knight to interrupt the light arcs.
L&P was determined to suppress Wei Xiao to death. Gary took the death
knight, and Yuan Ze took the blood warrior. They didn’t leave even a tiny
path for the shadow thief to survive.
Compared with the death knight, the blood warrior really had an advantage
over the shadow thief.
Its ultimate move gave it immunity for two seconds. No matter how many
light arcs the other side brushed out, they would hit empty air when they
landed on the blood warrior. By the time the shadow thief landed, the blood
warrior’s blood stab combined with its blood cut was enough to send the
shadow thief back to the resurrection fountain.
Wei Xiao tsked. “You guys are bullying me!”
Yan Jiang: “Elemental shaman.”
In order to fight back in such a situation, FTW could take the elemental
shaman. If it was used well, not only could it provide escort for the shadow
thief, it could also deal with the death knight’s forced control.
Bai Cai’s scalp tensed up when he heard this: Oh no, not everyone’s
elemental shaman is as strong as yours, hey!
Lu Feng: “No need, give me the shadow thief.”
They were all in the same training room, and everyone could hear this voice
that was neither loud nor quiet.
Old G, who was on the other side, “Ah? Little Lunatic Wei, you’re not
playing jungler?”
“I am,” Wei Xiao took the gun thief, “Laozi’s gonna kill you.”
A line-up that they hadn’t found a chance to use during the entire domestic
competition could finally be used at this time.
Who said that the shadow thief had to be used by the jungler? It could be
used in the top lane and still beat the other side into seclusion!
There was no way for L&P to switch. The death knight would have an easy
time fighting against the shadow thief in the early stages, but the blood
warrior couldn’t be used as a jungler. It was too ineffective and would affect
the rhythm of the game, so Yuan Ze could only stick with the blood warrior.
The blood warrior before level six……
Could only be strung up and beaten to death by Close.
No matter what, based on the BP segment of the first match, FTW didn’t
have much to worry about!
Brother Cai cautiously picked through the support options and finally still
chose to take the holy priest.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to use the elemental shaman, but that L&P had
banned it. It wasn’t his fault, really!
Compared with other teams, FTW could be considered quite familiar with
L&P. But Little Ning was still a little nervous at the start and ended up
being suppressed by VIVI for a few rounds of lane soldiers.
Later, Wei Xiao came over to pick on VIVI several times, helping Little
Ning find his courage again. He started moving around to provide support.
Due to their advantage from the BP, L&P was very steady prior to reaching
level six and didn’t take much action.
On the other hand, FTW didn’t want to remain timid. If not now, then when
should they start? Any person they could take down was better than none.
After helping Ning Zhehan, Wei Xiao pretended to go to the bottom lane
while in fact, he turned around and went to the top lane instead.
Everyone wore soundproof headphones once the game began. As long as
they didn’t speak in a roar, it wouldn’t be possible to hear what the other
side was saying. Of course, they could hear each other if they took off their
headphones, but there was no need; this was just a training match, and
doing such a thing was too much of a low blow.
No one spoke to the players after the game began. Yan Jiang also just sat at
the side and watched.
Wei Xiao was using the gun thief, which tended towards being a toolman
jungler. He didn’t need a high amount of farm to still deal considerable
damage and control. It was a bit similar to the power thief.
Using the shadow thief for the top lane meant that FTW still needed a team
fight starter. The gun thief happened to be a strong talent for starting group
fights, making up for the shadow thief’s shortcomings. At the same time, it
was also very suited to leading the game rhythm. FTW had played with this
line-up many times, and they’d hammered the domestic teams into bits
every time. This was precisely why they would never release the shadow
thief in official games.
The little lunatic’s shadow thief could still be provoked for a bit.
The great demon king’s shadow thief––it had to be shown 100% respect!
Ch216.2 - Exactly what the hell
were they doing!
Yuan Ze was an old pro, and he was very sharp. Wei Xiao had clearly
shown himself heading down on the minimap, but Yuan Ze didn’t relax his
vigilance at all. He was very on point with his positioning and skillfully
adjusted his lane soldiers in order to prevent Wei Xiao from being able to
attack and stab him.
Wei Xiao tsked. “Really annoying!”
Lu Feng: “Attack.”
His voice had just fallen when the shadow thief charged up with a shadow
attack, rushing straight at the blood warrior.
The blood warrior immediately called out his phantoms, sending them right
into Wei Xiao’s direction.
This level of alertness was just like he’d opened up a perspective hack!
But Wei Xiao didn’t panic. After avoiding the phantom, he aimed and
stabbed his gun at Yuan Ze.
Yuan Ze made use of a lane soldier to adjust his positioning, stabbing at Lu

Feng after avoiding the attack.
Lu Feng didn’t shrink away. He took the damage in order to move behind
the blood warrior, stabbing with his shadow blade and causing a splash of
blood to fly out.
Both of them were hit into a half health state at the same time. Wei Xiao
leapt up with his gun, landing accurately on Yuan Ze when he fell. At the
moment when he bounced up, the shadow thief’s flying blade stacked up
with his shadow attack and the extra bonus from an attack launched from
behind, ensuring that Yuan Ze couldn’t move.
First Blood.
LU killed Marshal.
Wei Xiao, who’d gotten an easy assist, was delighted. “Captain, you’re
amazing!”
Wei Xiao: “I’m amazing too!”
Even with the sound insulation, Yuan Ze was able to hear the proud tone in
this crazy bragging!
Gary: “Captain, don’t panic. I’m coming.”
Yuan Ze’s tone wasn’t good, “Like hell you’re coming.”
At the bottom lane, Old G cooperated with his own marksman to take down
a double kill, so L&P hadn’t made a loss in this wave.
However, killing others wasn’t what Old G wanted. He wanted to mess with
the little lunatic and great demon king.
When it came to a top-jungler battle, who had the strongest linkage? Old G
didn’t plan on giving up this title.
By the time the blood warrior reached level six, the shadow thief started
losing its advantage.
FTW decisively switched lanes. Close, who’d just arrived at the bottom
lane, caught a flaw in bottom lane AA’s defenses, and charged right into his
face with nine light arcs. Support player MO gave everything he had,
shields, healing, and buffs, but was still unable to save the pitiful AA.
The situation changed again, with the balance tilting towards FTW.
AA: “Captain!”
Yuan Ze: “Switch.”
Since FTW switched lanes, they would, too.
The shadow thief shouldn’t even think of getting rid of the blood warrior.
Wei Xiao disdained Yuan Ze. “Are you a sticky toffee candy? Sticking to
my captain like this.” After saying so, he made a sudden attack on the
bottom lane and continued to mess with Yuan Ze.
The two sides fought back and forth during the game, but neither side
obtained any absolute advantages.
Chen Feng glanced at Yan Jiang out of the corner of his eye, trying to read
some emotion from his expression.
Unfortunately.
Even old teammates were unable to see through this fellow.
He’d been aloof and unfathomable three years ago, and now, he was even
more mysterious.
Even ghosts wouldn’t know what he was thinking.
But one thing was certain.
Yan Jiang attached great importance to Wei Xiao. Although Chen Feng
didn’t know what exactly it was he liked about Wei Xiao––mainly because
this brat had too many unique points, and it was difficult to ascertain.
Chen Feng looked back at Wei Xiao, his heart warming.

This stinky brat was really likable, and he attracted all sorts of people.
He was more than half responsible for this roomful of people getting
together.
In fact, Chen Feng understood that this so-called living at FTW held some
attraction, but it wasn’t such a deep obsession.
They had agreed to this entertainment game more for the sake of the past
FTW, and also for the present Close.
The unspeakable past from three years ago.
This past from three years ago that still was hard to look back on.
Regardless of whether it was guilt or regret, they were all unable to say it.
Young pride that stabbed and hurt the people closest to them.
Regret that couldn’t be fixed, and the past that couldn’t be made up for.
They could only tell each other about it through this most familiar battle.
Growth, experience.
Hoping everyone could walk on in glory and face the darkness.
In the first game, FTW won by a narrow margin.
Wei Xiao took off his headphones and wasn’t polite about his disdain. “Old
G, can you do it or not?”
Old G: “…………” I’m going to go f*ck your mother’s name upside down!
Wei Xiao: “Weren’t you going to pick on the shadow thief? Come on, do
it.”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”

Someone picked up the thread of the conversation, “Come on.”
Wei Xiao turned his head. The one who’d spoken was Yan Jiang.
Yan Jiang got up and walked over to Yuan Ze’s side. “We’ll release the
shadow thief for you.” He said this to FTW.
The next game was FTW against Y1. L&P quickly made way, and even
gloated a little. Gary said, “Little Lunatic Q, you’ll have to seek your own
fortune!”
Wei Xiao would never back down or lose. “Don’t worry, I’m always
lucky!”
It hadn’t been easy for Gary to finally understand an idiom, but he was
unable to quip back after that retort. He turned back to look at Yuan Ze.
Yuan Ze had gone over to where Yan Jiang had been seated before. He said
evenly, “Come on, let me see how miserable your luck is.”
Wei Xiao wasn’t as polite to him as he was to Yan Jiang. He turned back
warily, “Don’t try to steal my techniques.”
Wei Xiao pointed to himself and Lu Feng, then pointed to the two of them.
“Top-jungler, e-sports competitors, got it?”
Yuan Ze: “…………” I got your daddy!
Although Wei Xiao disdained him, he didn’t really drive him away.
Yuan Ze had thick skin. What was one or two sentences? He sat and settled
himself in very firmly, insisting on seeing all the ways that Wei Xiao would
die, die, and die.
Y1 really did release the shadow thief. Chen Feng hesitated briefly.
Wei Xiao: “Take it! I’ll use it!”

Wei Xiao: “Captain Yan, whatever tricks you have, just use them all on me.
I’m not scared!”
Not only was he not scared, he was completely excited, okay!
Yuan Ze was too lazy to disparage him.
Chen Feng’s concerns were more practical.
Yan Jiang certainly wouldn’t just talk big. For him to release the shadow
thief meant that he had ways to target it.
What did the shadow thief mean for FTW?
It was a killer ace, it was confidence, and it was a magic treasure that
ensured wins.
This kind of thing was rather metaphysical.
When the belief wasn’t broken, the whole team’s morale would increase
greatly, and looking at the shadow thief was like seeing the dawn of victory.
This invisible bonus for the whole team could not be underestimated.
Once this belief was broken, there would be no more ‘special effect’.
Chen Feng didn’t want it to break in such an insignificant training match.
But this opportunity was placed right in front of them. If they didn’t give it
a try not and waited until the official competition, they wouldn’t even have
an opportunity to cry over their regrets…
Alright, then. He didn’t have to think so much about it. Wei Xiao was in the
first position and snatched it up in a way that could only be described as
quickly and cleanly.
Chen Feng sighed and tried to gain other opportunities for the team through
BP. He only hoped that they wouldn’t lose too miserably.
Wei Xiao obviously planned to use the shadow thief himself. Lu Feng
didn’t say much and took the divine warrior.
The divine warrior was a support type top-lane. It was clear that he planned
to protect the shadow thief.
Was Wei Xiao not afraid at all?
He really was a little scared.
But his fear was different from other people’s.
Chen Feng was afraid that FTW’s shadow thief would collapse, and he was
afraid that Wei Xiao would go into seclusion. He was afraid that he
wouldn’t be able to achieve results with the shadow thief throughout the
whole official competition.
Wei Xiao was only afraid of Lu Feng.
It was fine if he lost, and it was okay if he fell for various tricks. It was
alright if he was beaten into collapse.
But it couldn’t be Lu Feng.
It couldn’t be Close’s shadow thief who was targeted into collapse by Yan
Jiang.
So, he insta-locked the shadow thief.
As long as it was himself, then he wasn’t scared of any heaven or earth!
Yan Jiang took the elemental shaman, Y1’s jungler Hai used the berserker
thief, and the top-laner took the blood warrior.
It was clearly a jungler core line-up and was very impolite about targeting
the shadow thief.
What made it more interesting was that when L&P was targeting FTW, Yan
Jiang had suggested that FTW use the elemental shaman. In this game, Y1
was targeting FTW and still using the elemental shaman.
The elemental shaman could support the shadow thief until it rose to the
heavens, and it could also drag the shadow thief down from the sky until it
had to be dug up from under the ground.
The fight at the old FTW base was burning hot with passion, but they didn’t
know that the internet was trembling and quaking.
The keywords that were trending on hot search were so exciting that it
made all the glory fans click on it––the Team of Gods were gathering at
FTW!
At first, everyone thought that it was click bait. But their chins all dropped
when they went in!
There was a candid photo that was like the real hammer of truth.
There were four vans in FTW’s parking lot. They all had official game
decals, and they were each printed with the team logos.
Y1, EVE, L&P, Pro.
Why had last year’s global top four gathered at FTW?
Was it a feud or was it a scene dripping with dog blood?
Was it real people PK or was it a bloody battle between teams?
The Team of Gods, who would die before communicating with each other,
had actually gotten together under the same roof?
Without mentioning anything else, the FTW fans were all crying one after
the other.
The trending topics exploded. Their misery during those years was matched
with their feelings of distress right now.
The Team of Gods fans who had laid down their banners and ceased their
activity all revealed themselves and started talking about the old days.
What exactly were they doing?
Exactly what the hell were they doing!
The entire network was curious and really wished they could sneak over to
find out.
The reason why the whereabouts of the Team of Gods had been exposed
wasn’t due to FTW’s internal staff, but because of the paparazzi who
followed the teams closely.
Someone had always been watching the teams ever since EVE and Y1 had
settled in.
At the end of the day, they were global star players, and anything they could
catch on camera would bring in traffic. Paying attention to them was too
worthwhile.
Who could’ve known that they would be able to get such breaking news
when their original intention had been to sneak in some private photos of
God Xie?!
For a while, even the big capital daddies were startled.
What was going on?
Training match?
Would it be convenient for them to stream it?
There were sky high sponsorship fees at stake here!

Ch217.1 - Lulu's big brothers are
showing him respect!
Opening a live stream was impossible, no matter how much money was
offered.
This kind of internal training competition had to be kept a secret in order to

have any value. Once it was broadcast live to the public, it would become
an entertainment game.
These five teams weren’t the only teams in the global competition. The
champion teams from other competition zones would also be watching.
If it was broadcast live, then they would have to choose between exposing
tactics or entertaining the public.
Nobody wanted the former to happen, and the latter had no meaning when
it came to training.
Little Lunatic Wei had racked his brains (not really) in order to get the top
four teams to practice with him. It was something that would be difficult to
buy even with money!
Xiang Liu didn’t bother Lu Feng with this matter and refused directly.
The other side thought that it was because they hadn’t offered enough
money and continued increasing the price. Xiang Liu resolutely refused
while covering up a heart that was bleeding from the loss of profits.
Brother Liu wiped away his sweat after hanging up the phone.
Wei Xiao really was a genius.

One set of flashy operations affected so many people’s hearts, livers, lungs,
stomachs, spleens, and kidneys!
Without mentioning what was happening inside the training rooms, the
countless people outside the training room all felt really aggrieved.
The capital daddies looked at the popularity on Weibo, and their money
bags itched.
Glory’s old fans, new fans, passer-by fans, all these fans were looking
forward to it and their hearts couldn’t help but itch unbearably.
However…
The live broadcast didn’t turn on, and the paparazzi couldn’t get in.
They couldn’t see anything!
The more they couldn’t see it, the more their hearts itched.
There would always be more of a commotion when they couldn’t obtain

something. The popularity rose higher and higher, and there were many
(talented) people poking their heads out as short stories emerged
ceaselessly.
Someone guessed, “It must be the top four who wanted to play training
matches and borrowed space from FTW. Who doesn’t know about how big
the training rooms are and how good the equipment is at the FTW base?
Shit, where does FTW get all that money from? Lu Feng’s competition
results aren’t that good, but he really has some ability to make money. He
should retire early and make way for others. Wouldn’t it be good to focus
on capital?”
That last sentence was very provocative. There’s no need to repeat the back
and forth that came after.
But many people agreed with this idea. “This must be the case. At the end
of the day, aren’t these four teams the ones who’ll be competing for the
championship this year? Making an appointment early is a way to get
warmed up.”
“FTW is miserable, too. It’s been three years, yet they still have to serve
those big daddies. Don’t come back after you’ve already left, hey! What a
group of dogs!”
There were also people who spoke the truth, “There’s definitely training
matches, but I don’t believe that it’s only between the top four. Our FTW
must be among them. A training session between five teams, with the top
four as accompanying trainers! It’s a group of big brothers showing Lulu
respect!”
Although it was the truth, this suggestion was the one that got flamed the
worst––
“Stop dreaming, okay?”
“Even fanfiction isn’t as daring as you. Here’s a pen, you go for it!”
“What are you thinking? Don’t be naive. And you’re even calling them big
brothers… big brothers who stab people to death?”
“Whoever wants this kind of big brother can just take them. The great
demon king doesn’t need this kind of thing!”
Unfortunately, the melon eating crowd were doomed to be unable to eat this
delicious melon.
FTW and Y1 both entered the game after selecting their line-ups. Wei Xiao
was nervous, alert, and combat-ready.
This was last year’s championship team. This was one of the strongest
teams in the world. This was Yan Jiang, who was even more difficult to
figure out than Fu Li!
Wei Xiao was excited. He was looking forward to facing a strong enemy,
looking forward to having a full-on duel, and more importantly, he was also
looking forward to climbing over mountains that others couldn’t conquer!
“There are 30 seconds before the enemy reaches the battlefield!”
The system voice rang out. A fierce battle was imminent!
Bai Cai: “Go into their jungle?”
Brother Cai followed him, and they aimed at the other side’s blue jungle
zone.
FTW positioned themselves in a zigzag manner before the lane soldiers

arrived, spreading out their vision across the game.
The berserker thief was a hero who was strong at leading the rhythm in the
early stages. Going into the opposite side’s jungle was a matter of course,
and what FTW had to do now was to take a gamble.
That’s right, a gamble. The type that depended on luck.
In the early stages, there was no way for the shadow thief to fight against
the berserker thief. If the two met, then the shadow thief would have to
either run or die.
Hiding in their own jungle zone wasn’t an option, either. If they really let
the berserker thief have the leisure to clean out the opposite jungle zone,
then the shadow thief would be even slower to reach level six, prolonging
the early stage of the game. Once the other side started a snowball effect,
then the whole game would be lost.
So, the shadow thief also had to go into the opposing side’s jungle.
Why was this based on luck?
This all depended on whether or not they could stagger jungle zones with
the crazy thief.
The canyon held upper and lower jungle zones. If the berserker thief
entered FTW’s upper jungle zone, and the shadow thief went to Y1’s lower
jungle zone, then they would be perfectly staggered. An even exchange of
resources meant that the shadow thief would’ve earned in this transaction.
If the berserker thief entered FTW’s top jungle zone while the shadow thief
attempted to enter Y1’s top jungle zone, then they would meet at the river,
and there would be big trouble!
Couldn’t their choices be predicted?
It was really difficult.
For example, if Y1’s jungler Hai predicted that the shadow thief would start
with the blue buff, then went into FTW’s top jungle zone.
And Wei Xiao predicted Hai’s prediction, then deliberately went to the
bottom jungle zone.
Then, Hai once again predicted Wei Xiao’s prediction, changing directions
towards the bottom jungle zone…
Opening up a row of Matryoshka dolls was useless. They could only

gamble!
Wei Xiao’s luck was pretty good. He and Brother Cai didn’t find any trace
of the berserker thief on their way to the red jungle zone.
Brother Cai felt a little strained. “Will they ambush us?”
Wei Xiao: “They shouldn’t.”
The game had just started. Clearing the jungle and grabbing resources was
more cost-effective than deliberately ganking.
However…
Wei Xiao directly used a shadow attack on the red buff in order to speed up
his jungle clearing speed.
“We still have to hurry up and ensure that they don’t surround us.”
They didn’t need to gank them, but they could encircle them.
Y1 must have entered their blue buff jungle zone. As soon as they saw that
no-one was there, they would basically have guessed what path Wei Xiao
took. As long as they were able to clear out the jungle zone one step faster,
then Wei Xiao and Bai Cai wouldn’t be able to escape.
So, Wei Xiao wanted to finish off this wave of jungle creeps before Hai did,
then retreat in a flash!
Wei Xiao’s ideas weren’t bad, and he was also very quick at clearing the
jungle.
However, when he withdrew from Y1’s red jungle zone and arrived at the
river––
Brother Cai sucked in a breath, “Old Wei!”
Wei Xiao didn’t need his reminder and was already shifting his positioning
to avoid the totem.
Unfortunately, the elemental shaman’s totem wasn’t aimed at him, but

rather at Bai Cai, who was in front of him to the left.
There was nothing Wei Xiao could do about this, and nothing Bai Cai
himself could do about it. He was a basically naked holy priest, and healing
himself for the small amount that he could wouldn’t be enough for the
berserker thief to even play around with.
At the moment when the elemental shaman controlled the holy priest, the
berserker thief had already made use of the insect creep behind them to
launch himself forward, locking his scythe accurately around the holy
priest’s throat.
Brother Cai flew off into the distance.
Hai took First Blood!

Although the player he’d killed was FTW’s support position, the gold bonus
from getting First Blood was considerable.
Wei Xiao managed to escape and sucked in a breath lightly. “We have to go
over the replay properly here.”
How had the elemental shaman and berserker thief arrived so quickly?
And they’d bypassed the vision area that Ning Zhehan could see in the mid-
lane.
He’d already cleared his jungle zone at the fastest possible speed, so why
had Yan Jiang been able to block them?
They would only be able to find the answer in the replay.
Brother Cai was the type who would be strong when faced with the weak
and cower when faced with the strong.
He’d always been a little afraid of Yan Jiang, and now that he was going up
against him directly, he was a bit cautious and hesitant.
Wei Xiao knew him well. “Let’s try the berserker thief and elemental
shaman together later.”
Brother Cai trembled.
Wei Xiao: “If we can’t get the same effect as Captain Yan, I’ll beat you to
death.”
Bai Cai: “……………”
Yep, in order to deal with Brother Cai, one needed to be fiercer than their
opponents.
This way, he’d be afraid of his teammates and unafraid of his opponents.
Brother Xiao was really worthy of being the little wife’s ‘true love’ jungler
king. He had one trick after another when it came to training him up.
Bai Cai sat up straight. “Let’s finish this game first!”
The holy priest soon resurrected and arrived back at Wei Xiao’s side.
Although they’d only lost a support, this was in fact the beginning of their
collapse.
Y1’s operation ability was really strong and worthy of envy.
They’d killed Brother Cai, and although they let Wei Xiao go, it had
managed to reduce Wei Xiao’s jungle clearing speed.
After taking First Blood and clearing out their jungle zone first, Y1 had
already arranged vision over the dragon pit.
The first little silver dragon that appeared in the canyon was of great
strategic importance. If they could take it down, then the whole team would
quickly rise up to level six.
Y1’s entire team would be at level six, while FTW still hovered at level 4
and 5. What would this mean?
It meant that the five people in Y1 would have ultimate moves while no one
in FTW did!
If all three of FTW’s lanes collapsed in the later stages, then Bai Cai’s death
would play out just as Yan Jiang had predicted.
As a bystander, Chen Feng could see this very clearly.
Why did some people call TPT a mini Y1? It was because both teams were
strong operationally and would scheme endlessly from beginning to the
end.
TPT’s flaw was that they were unable to suppress Close, and the overall
quality of the team’s players was slightly weaker than FTW. Additionally,
Fu Li was their mid-laner, and his overview of the situation was far less
broad compared with Yan Jiang.
So, TPT had lost the finals.
But Y1 was different.
Top-laner Dxrus played the blood warrior very well and could stably trade
attacks with Close while controlling the lane soldiers.
Lu Feng had taken a divine warrior, which tended towards support, and it
was difficult for him to kill Dxrus. Of course, he also wouldn’t be
suppressed; it was just that he wouldn’t be able to find the opportunity to
explore the jungle zone vision.
Mid-laner Quas was able to string Ning Zhehan along.
Quas was a gentle looking Caucasian fellow with smiling eyes. He looked
easy going and spoke like that big brother next door.
However, he was famous for his black-bellied play style in the mid-lane.
He wasn’t like a prickly thorn, wasn’t the type to face off directly, and he
didn’t poke from a distance; he was black-bellied.
He smiled so harmlessly, and seemed so righteous and harmonious when

clearing the lane, but once you fell into his trap, then you’d be left without
even your bones.
After all, he was someone that Yan Jiang had trained up himself. If he
didn’t have this level of ability, he’d have been sent to the water dispenser a
long time ago.
When jungler Hai first made his debut, the Europeans had called him Little
Close.
Hai’s original ID had started with the letter C. It was because others had
called him that that he changed his ID name.
It was said that he was like Close, but that naturally wasn’t all because of
his ID. It was because of his play style.
Silent, fierce, and unexpected; he could lead the rhythm of the game across
the whole map. Every time Y1 played a game with the jungler as core, it
would give people a sense of the Team of Gods––
Push fast and push hard while maintaining their advantage the whole way
through.
Ch217.2 - Aced!
Bottom lane’s Piglet was Y1’s gentle and responsible one. Although he
looked tall, built, and even a bit fierce, he revealed his balanced
temperament every time he opened his mouth.
His voice was soothing, gentle, and polite. He could take care of himself
even when left on his own in the bottom lane, and when there were two of
them, he could take off and fly up to the heavens. When he grouped up into
a team of three, then it was like a team pushing engine.
He was a player who could fight and avoid battle, who was good at the
early stages and could also keep himself stable until the late stages. He was
balanced in all aspects and was a very high quality player.
This was last year’s global championship team, the ceiling for Glory’s
strength, and they were a truly strong team for which no flaws could be
found.
Unsurprisingly, FTW lost the fight for the small silver dragon. When faced
with Y1 who had all reached level 6, FTW could only attempt to avoid all
of their attacks.
They cleared out their lanes from beneath their towers, and their jungle
zones had been taken over. The gap in farm gradually increased.
Bai Cai gritted his teeth. “I can’t find any breakthrough points.”
Wei Xiao was finally able to pick up the river crab creep and snatch up
some farm. “I’ll be level six soon.”
Bai Cai: “Try a wave of suppression in the mid-lane?”
Wei Xiao: “Bottom lane.”

Ning Zhehan had no way to go and provide support. If they didn’t pay
attention to the bottom lane soon, then Yue Wenle was going to collapse.
Bai Cai nodded. “Okay!”
The shadow thief reached level six!
It was as though the other side had known that they would come. When Wei
Xiao and Bai Cai arrived at the bottom lane, the berserker thief tossed out a
scythe.
Wei Xiao’s heart quivered.
Brother Cai was more aware this round and positioned himself in front of
Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao: “Not bad, Old Bai.”
His hands never stopped as he spoke, launching and stacking a combo of

shadow attacks and assaults. The DPS ratio was already set up, and the light
arcs were about to fill up the sky… suddenly, there was a crisp bang.
The shadow thief who was about to take off was shot down, the stacked
damage was interrupted, and the light arcs were scattered!
Yuan Ze’s eyebrows raised up slightly from where he sat beside him, his
dark eyes heated as he stared at the screen.
This wave of operations was enough to shake the chins off half of the
professional players in the circle if it were to be clipped and released.
The elemental shaman’s totems had been tossed out too fiercely. That
forced control totem made by trading in his own health was launched with
finesse as fine as a strand of hair. Only Yan Jiang would dare to use it, and
he managed to use it accurately, beating down the shadow thief from an
almost impossible angle!
Wei Xiao wasn’t any ordinary player, either. Even if his combo was
interrupted and he was caught unprepared, he was still able to stop the loss
in time. Eight light arcs couldn’t be brushed out, but seven were still
possible. He retreated and went for the second best option, stacking up
seven light arcs at the last moment.
Even if it was just seven light arcs, even if the shadow thief was low
levelled and had insufficient equipment, this attack still dealt considerable
damage.
After all, they were still in the early stage of the game, and everyone had
limited health. The berserker thief lost half of his health bar to the move.
Bai Cai managed to survive and quickly healed himself.
Wei Xiao: “Withdraw.”
It was impossible for them to try and fight. The berserker thief could deal
continuous DPS, while the shadow thief needed a small recovery period
after brushing out its light arcs. It was enough to be able to avoid death or
injury without sending out a kill.
Although he was reckless, and although he could get in over his head, Yue
Wenle was most willing to listen to Wei Xiao.
Yue Wenle had already started pulling away from their opponent with that
one word.
However, Y1 didn’t intend to let them off.
The berserker thief shifted and burst in, using his scythe to lock in on him.
Bai Cai shuddered, “I think I…”
Sure enough, he was unable to dodge. This scythe was so accurate it made
his scalp go numb.
Bai Cai’s heart pounded. “You guys go!” If he was going to die, then so be
it. It was better for him to die than for Wei Xiao or Yue Wenle to die.
Wei Xiao had the feeling that something was off. He called out, “Old
Yue…”
But it was too late. The berserker thief’s target wasn’t Bai Cai at all. He
used Brother Cai as the springboard and locked in on Yue Wenle, who had
limited mobility.
Yue Wenle hadn’t hesitated with his retreat, and there had been no delay,
but he couldn’t stop the berserker thief from leaping to a spot behind Bai
Cai, then to the big ‘treasure’ Bai Cai was protecting behind him.
Another scythe, launched at the maximum distance, locked into both people
at the same time.
Wei Xiao gritted his teeth, “DPS!”
Yue Wenle reacted quickly and had already started to release skills. He was
able to deal out the maximum amount of damage he could before he died.
Bai Cai also knew that he wouldn’t be able to get away. He tossed out a
bubble tune to try and control the berserker thief, but unfortunately, the
berserker thief who had no teammates close by wasn’t afraid of this 0.1
second of control. Once his berserker mode started up, he was able to tear
up any squishy talents in an instant.
Wei Xiao was too far away for the berserker thief to hook into him.
However, how could he not try his best to recover this loss after seeing that
Bai Cai and Yue Wenle were going to die?
At the moment when the berserker thief used up all his skills, Wei Xiao
launched his attack. He avoided the damage from Y1’s marksman and
stabbed out a critical hit from behind. The berserker thief who only had one
third of his health left fell to the ground.
Two for one…

Although it was a loss, but…
No, wait!
Wei Xiao sucked in a breath, then used up all of his movement skills to
escape the berserker thief’s scythe.
The berserker thief hadn’t died?
He had.
But he’d resurrected again!
One second before Wei Xiao killed him, the elemental shaman in the
distance had used up almost all of his health to create a resurrection totem.
The berserker thief’s health had emptied out just as the totem landed.
His empty health bar triggered a resurrection, and the berserker thief stood
back up again.
If Wei Xiao hadn’t avoided it quickly and had been locked in by his scythe,
then he would’ve been killed on the spot by Y1’s marksman.
In this round of fighting at the bottom lane.
FTW suffered heavy losses!
This was the global championship team, this was Y1, this was the
supernova team trained up by Y1!
When faced with such a downwind, Wei Xiao didn’t grow depressed.
Instead, his fighting spirit soared to unprecedented highs.
Y1 wasn’t just going through the motions.
Yan Jiang wasn’t underestimating his opponents.
They respected FTW and were using their real strength.

Then, how could FTW not go all out!
Chen Feng sat at the sofa of the training room, his heart calm.
There was a definite gap in strength and experience. Even their levels of
confidence were as different as heaven and earth.
But…
They didn’t panic.
Growth was an uphill battle. It was a difficult road to walk, but only by
doing this could they see the scenery at the top of the mountain.
Chen Feng believed in today’s FTW, believed in the little ones, and he
believed that they could walk and explore a path that belonged to them!
Y1 did what L&P couldn’t do in the last game. They suppressed the shadow
thief and didn’t give Wei Xiao any chance to breathe.
The elemental shaman interrupted the light arcs.
His DPS was constrained by the berserker thief.
The mid, bottom, and top lanes all had airtight formations, and Wei Xiao
seemed to be running into walls everywhere.
A real routine wasn’t a routine.
Y1’s play style was simple and rough. They relied on brute strength, and if
this was what the game was like, then there would’ve been no problem
opening up a live stream.
If anyone was able to play out this effect?
Then they could take the championship trophy and go home with it!
Was FTW finished for good?

No.
They hadn’t given up yet.
None of them could give up!
Even Salted Fish Bai had built up courage.
There was too much oppression, too much fire! When had Little Lunatic
Wei ever suffered such grievances before!
Brother Cai was angry!
28 minutes into the game, there was a 6000 gold difference in farm between
the two sides.
At first glance, this number sounded terrible. But in fact, it wasn’t so bad.
When shared amongst the five members of the team, it meant that each of
them were half a piece of finished equipment short.
Wei Xiao had worked very hard to ensure that his farm didn’t fall behind
too much so that it wouldn’t be too big of a problem to try and cut down c-
positions.
Lu Feng had given up some of his resources to Wei Xiao. Although it meant
that he was a bit short, the divine warrior was more of a functional talent
and could still be effective with low farm.
If they kept dragging the game out like this, then Y1 would nibble away at
them and win the game.
Was it going to end like this?
Impossible!
Wei Xiao breathed in lightly. “Old Yue, drop the bottom lane.”
Bai Cai: “Gank?”

Lu Feng: “Be ready to teleport.”
The four little ones, “Okay!”
Another long three minutes passed. The harassed FTW seemed to be in a

desperate situation, hovering on the brink of losing with no way to turn the
tables.
Bai Cai: “Someone’s stepped into the river!” He’d inserted vision there.
Lu Feng was closest to the top jungle river channel. He stabbed out with his
spear and landed a hit on Dxrus, who was in the bushes.
“Come.” The entire team pressed their transmission buttons at Close’s

command.
F*ck him! If they didn’t fight back now, they would no longer have a
chance.
Y1 could see what FTW intended to do. They weren’t anxious as they
surveyed the scene, and then the five of them gathered together and
sounded the drums of war.
The divine warrior charged in first, his buffs fully stacked up. He hefted his
gun and flew at Dxrus while rushing to Y1’s back ranks.
Quas and Piglet had experienced the world and weren’t frightened by this
sudden head-on assault.
They calmly shifted positions and dispersed the damage.
At the end of the day, the divine warrior was a functionality based warrior.
It had mediocre DPS, and its strength lay in injury resistance and control.
Close had been quiet for the whole game, but he’d now finally found the
right opportunity.
His spear stabbed through the air, and his divine miracle landed in the
canyon. Under this unexpected ultimate and flash combo, he sent Y1’s core
DPS position flying.
Yan Jiang’s totem was inserted right at the edge of his divine miracle skill,
restoring most of his teammates’ health.
Quas threw his skills at Close.
Piglet stood steady, dealing non-stop DPS.
Bai Cai followed up quickly, tossing out all of his skills at the divine
warrior. At the same time, he sent his bubble tune into the crowd to control
their opponents.
The divine warrior had a skill that allowed him to share the damage being
dealt. Brother Cai had arrived just in time, giving Lu Feng a chance to
breathe.
Another spear shot out, and this time it sent the berserker thief flying!
One warrior and one priest was enough to disturb Y1’s formation!
Although they had to take on a lot of danger, they were still able to open up
a bloody path for their teammates!
Wei Xiao fixed his eyes on Yan Jiang’s position. Taking advantage of the
time when he tossed out the healing totem and had absolutely no time to
create a control totem, he’d stacked up enough damage. Eight ars combined
with Close’s divine miracle to create explosive damage applied huge
pressure on the other team’s health bars. Y1’s overall state plummeted!
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle were given enough of an opportunity to deal
DPS. The berserker thief had taken down the divine warrior, but
unfortunately, he’d been held up and couldn’t reach the mage and
marksman off in the distance.
Wei Xiao pounced on Quas and sent him home.
Yan Jiang handed his resurrection to Piglet. Piglet lived up to his trust and
achieved a double kill with his continuous shooting.
Bai Cai gave Wei Xiao his last bit of healing before falling to the ground.
Wei Xiao used shadow attack and backstab and left Piglet seriously injured.
Yue Wenle took down Piglet before he died.
Wei Xiao locked in on Yan Jiang…
As those in front fall, those behind take up their positions.
Stepping on this road that the captain had opened up with blood, walking on
steps formed by his teammates and corpses, Wei Xiao’s short blade pierced
the elemental shaman’s chest!
Ace!
Y1 had been aced!

Ch218.1 - It was clear that they just
didn’t want to fight against him!
Wei Xiao, who was still alive, didn’t stop at all. He made use of the lane
soldiers to recover his health, then charged all the way to Y1’s base
alongside his own little soldiers.
The fastest one to resurrect from Y1 was Dxrus who had 19 seconds to go.
Could he break down the crystal in 19 seconds?
It was difficult.
Y1 had been too strong in the early stages, and they had controlled their
soldier lanes very well. Although Close had directly assaulted them in their
face in this wave of fighting, they’d done their set up well in advance.
If their soldier lanes weren’t in a good state, they wouldn’t have gone to
ambush their opponents.
This was the terrifying thing about having strong operations. It had an
amazingly high fault tolerance rate, and there was rarely any opportunity
for sudden death games.
For example, after FTW had managed to remain standing at the end of this
fight, Wei Xiao didn’t delay at all. The shadow thief was a talent with
considerable attack speed, but unfortunately, he was still unable to push all
the way to the crystal. By the time he’d managed to take down one of the
towers protecting the base, Dxrus had already rushed back out.
It was difficult for the shadow thief to gain the advantage against a blood
warrior. There was a chance if this was just a solo game, but Y1’s entire
team was about to resurrect, and if Wei Xiao tried to fight, he’d be playing
irrationally and sending away his own head.
He went semi-invisible and dove back into the jungle zone, sweeping
through and clearing it out at the fastest possible speed before returning to
his own jungle zone.
He would snatch up resources and develop. If they could pull off another
wave of team fighting just like earlier, then FTW could win the game!
Unfortunately…
Would there be another such chance?
Y1 wasn’t a team who would repeat mistakes. They had a strong ability to
adjust, and wouldn’t make the same mistake twice in the same game.
On the sidelines, Yuan Ze could already see the ending.
FTW had lost this game, but it had been played wonderfully.
That round where they’d aced Y1 was a very commendable and classic
group fight that would’ve been acknowledged even amongst all the global
professional teams.
Close had decisively started up the group fight, and his teammates’ support
had followed quickly. Their mage and marksman had positioned themselves
very well, in places where they could DPS like crazy without getting
ambushed. At the end, the timing of Wei Xiao’s entry into the fray had been
executed with textbook accuracy.
He’d gone in with a combo and stacked up his arc damage faster than usual.
What was more ingenious was that he’d learned his lesson and had already
adapted to the elemental shaman’s rhythm, seizing a gap when he was
unable to squeeze out a control totem to enter the fight. He was stable,
accurate, and fierce, and his wave of explosive DPS laid the foundation for
Y1’s mass destruction.
Close had started the group fight, and Wei Xiao had ended it.
These two had really found their own rhythm.
Yuan Ze sighed internally and had to admit: Close was really very suited to
playing top-lane.
Three years ago, nobody had asked Close which position he wanted to play.
There was no need to ask, and they didn’t have to ask.
He was strong and fierce with thieves, and his rhythm when playing jungler
was also amongst the best. As long as Yan Jiang was in the team, there was
no problem with cooperation.
They’d crushed everyone the whole way to champion. Who could’ve

thought that he might not like playing jungler? That he might not love this
position, and there might be a more suitable choice for him?
No one asked, and he didn’t say.
In the arrogant Team of Gods, only little Close had cooperated with them
And they…
Defeat!
FTW failed to resist Y1’s fierce assault and lost the training game.
This was within expectations.
They hadn’t taken it easy and had taken out the same momentum they had
for the finals. With a Y1 where even Yan Jiang was so serious, how could
they lose to FTW, who’d still been nervous at the start of the game and only
found their optimal state halfway?
Yuan Ze glanced at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao was staring at the screen, his black eyes bright.
After losing the game, his mood was even higher than before.
Yuan Ze cursed secretly: So this is why I hate this kind of unkillable genius.
Even as he cursed, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help curving upwards.
“Again!” Wei Xiao was in high spirits.
Y1, on the other side: “……”
For a moment, it was unclear who had lost and who had won.
Yuan Ze answered, “To hell with ‘again.’”
Wei Xiao turned to stare at him.
Yuan Ze: “Get up, it’s time for big brother to play.”
The next match was L&P against Y1. The schedule was laid out right there.
Wei Xiao didn’t want to get up. He hadn’t played enough, and he didn’t
want to rest!
Lu Feng looked at him. “Do you want to eat watermelon?”
Wei Xiao instantly lost interest in Old Dog Yuan, “Yes~”
Don’t ask. If you ask, then there really was a tilde in his voice.
FTW had a temporary break. Wei Xiao accepted the food offered by his
captain and ate his watermelon while watching the game.
They’d just finished playing against Y1, and Wei Xiao’s hands were really
itching. If it weren’t for the people in the room, he really would’ve wanted
to hold Lu Feng’s hand.
Unfortunately, there were so many people in the room that they couldn’t
even find a chance to touch sneakily.
His hands were itchy, and his heart was hot, but he could only watch.
He was envious and greedy for everything!
In Training Room B, Pro and EVE were having a tense game. They were
playing two games in a row, but they were much slower than Training
Room A. While they were already starting the third game on this side,
Training Room B was still on the second game.
On one hand, the two sides were playing very seriously. On the other hand,
the two teams were too familiar with each other. They were busy trying to
trick each other, causing their speed to slow down.
Of course, there was another point that neither side wanted to admit––they
didn’t want to lose.
Although it was a training match, they just didn’t want to lose!
The proud flower who was living in FTW didn’t want to have to move
away, and Xie He, who had no chance to live at the base, wanted to move
in.
It was unknown if these two teams would be able to encounter each other in
the globals, but in any case, these two games right now were no less
competitive than global competition games!
Wei Xiao went to Training Room B to have a look. Because the proud
flower was too good at surviving, and the rhythm of the game was too slow,
he slipped back out again. Of course, it was also because he hadn’t seen the
earlier game situation, and it felt as if something was lacking when he
started watching from halfway. It would be better to watch the game replay
later; also, Y1 and L&P had just started their game, which looked to be
more exciting.
L&P and Y1 were also old enemies.
In last year’s finals, L&P had been defeated 3:1 by Y1. This had left L&P
nursing their anger for a long time.
During a BO5 game, L&P had only won the first match, and they’d been so
angry their chests hurt for half a month straight.
The European fans had scolded and ridiculed L&P repeatedly.
To hell with being the runner-up. The golden dragon trophy holder was the
real daddy!
With these old grievances in play, this training match between the two sides
must be fun to watch.
Wei Xiao suddenly spoke up, “Are we enjoying the opening game for the
globals ahead of time?”
FTW: “……”
You’re the one holding the script, you know everything!
L&P wasn’t as nervous as FTW had been.
This was an old opponent. To hell with being nervous! They entered the
game and began to fight.
Old G took MO with him and headed straight for Y1’s jungle zone,
catching God Hai and sending him off with a scythe.
Y1 was playing a marksman focused line-up in this game. Hai was using a
toolman jungler, and not only did he not have Captain Yan beside him, he
also didn’t have much DPS on his own.
At the end of the day, Gary was one of the top junglers in the world. He was
both cool and handsome when he grew serious, and his berserker thief was
the pinnacle of perfection as he killed off Hai within moments.
Wei Xiao was left breathless. “Old G is nursing deep resentment.”
They’d played quite a few training matches with L&P and were a bit more
familiar with them. Not much needed to be said about Gary’s personal
strength, but it depended on his state.
He was more casual and playful in training competitions, and he always
wanted to mess with his idol (yes, it was Close). In fact, he’d only really
played out 60-70% of his real strength.
Now, when faced with Y1, he was different right from the start and gave off
a sense of being the number one jungler king in North America.
Playing competitive games built up experience and watching games also

did the same.
This was especially the case when watching strong teams fight. Paying
careful attention to the game could allow the watcher to learn a lot of
details.
L&P was a team that was a bit similar to FTW. Watching them fight against
Y1 meant that FTW could also review their performance in the previous
game, and it was like a game replay review in disguise.
Unfortunately, the line-up that Y1 took this time was very different from the
last game.
When they faced FTW, Y1 had chosen a team with a jungler core, and their
intention of hitting them hard and fast had been obvious. This game was
different. The marksman core system had to remain stable in the early
stages, avoiding fights whenever they could and hiding wherever possible.
Once they made it to the middle and late stages of the game, they would be
able to shift the advantage and win the game.
In last year’s global finals, Y1 had used the marksman system in the third
game they played against L&P. In the early stages, L&P had been reckless
and beaten Y1 up until they were all bloody. Fans on the scene had thought
that L&P would be able to win and bring the score to 2:1.
Unexpectedly, 20 minutes later, PIG managed to rise up, and the cold, chilly
arrows of his marksman all shot true. Old G was skewered until he was
bleeding all over. In the last wave, Yuan Ze and Gary worked together to
take down PIG in a two for one exchange where only Yuan Ze was left
alive. However, Quas, the mid-laner mage king picked up the baton, and Y1
aced L&P, ending the game.
The biggest thing to be afraid of with a marksman core wasn’t that the
marksman would dominate the whole scene. What was the most fearsome
was when the marksman fell to the ground and someone else in the team
was still able to play out explosive DPS.
After killing off one big daddy, there was still another big daddy. This was
really enough to make L&P, who had an early stage line-up, so angry that
their livers hurt.
It was also because they’d lost the third match that L&P’s mentality
collapsed slightly. Their performance in the fourth match was mediocre, and
Y1 had snatched up the golden dragon trophy.
It was a training match, but it was the same line-up as the key game in last
year’s finals. How could L&P not let it get to their heads!
Wei Xiao was quite sharp. He whispered quietly to Lu Feng and

complained, “It feels like Y1’s not motivated.”
Lu Feng didn’t say anything, but Brother Cai heard him and replied, “It’s a
marksman core, they’re always weak in the early stages.”
Wei Xiao felt that that wasn’t the case. They’d just finished playing
together, and he had a basic sense of the starters in Y1. He could see that
something was fishy even if he was only watching.
Lu Feng glanced in Y1’s direction out of the corner of his eyes and fed Wei
Xiao a slice of watermelon.
Wei Xiao: “Wu… it’s really sweet.”
Lu Feng: “Last one. If you eat more, your stomach will feel
uncomfortable.”
Wei Xiao: “One more, just one more.”

Lu Feng cut a small piece for him, and Wei Xiao leaned over to snatch it
away. He was delighted. “Super sweet.”
Brother Cai, who was trying hard to block this sight from the rest of the
room: “………”
Blame me, blame me for being too thin, but even though I’m trying my
damned best to press the closet door shut for you, the door won’t hold
anymore!
Wei Xiao wasn’t wrong. Y1 really wasn’t motivated.
In the middle and late stages, PIG had developed enough. They met L&P in
a wave of fighting and then everything went as expected.
There was no need for Yuan Ze and Gary to pass over the baton to each
other. Old G killed PIG on his own, Yuan Ze took down Quas, and Y1
collapsed.
Victory.
Yuan Ze, who’d won the game, wasn’t happy at all. He looked to the side to
glare at Yan Jiang. “You’re a little overly biased!”
If Yuan Ze hadn’t seen how seriously Y1 had played in their game against
FTW, then he could comfort himself by saying that Yan Jiang was lazy, and
everyone in Y1 were noobs. Last year’s finals championship was just a
damned accident.
Now…
It was clear that they just didn’t want to fight against him!
What made Old Dog Yuan so angry that his liver ached was that Yan Jiang
even made a calm sound of acknowledgement.
He said that he was being biased!
And he even agreed!

Yuan Ze: “……………………”
This was really worthy of being Captain Yan. His ability to deal with his old
teammates was as good as it had always been.
Ch218.2 - An energetic Little
Lunatic Wei
Both sides finished their games at similar times.
Pro and EVE had played two games, and each team had one game. Their
scores were exactly the same.
The teams in Training Room A also had one point each. After tossing about
for such a long time, the five teams were still divided equally, and no one
was better than anyone else.
Of course, the round robin had only just started. At the end, there would
always have to be a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth place!
After FTW’s break, their next game was against Pro.
Wei Xiao rubbed his hands together. “Bring it!”
Kim Sung-hyun looked at him. “Such strong murderous intent?”
Wei Xiao smiled like a fox. “Don’t be scared, God Kim, I’ll be gentle…”
The corner of Kim Sung-hyun’s mouth twitched, and he glanced at Lu

Feng––was it really okay for your little lover to talk like this?!
Lu Feng expressionlessly pressed down on a certain little lunatic’s head.
Wei Xiao’s hair stood on end. “I mean, I will be…”
“Ouch.”
The tease shut up. If he kept talking, then his vinegar king would make him
sleep in the guest room.
FTW vs Pro, EVE vs Y1. L&P was watching again for this game.
Yuan Ze remained sitting next to Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao: “There’s a lot of space where God Kim is.”
Yuan Ze: “I want to watch you.”
Wei Xiao: “??”
Old Dog Yuan finally managed to get even. “I want to watch how you’ll be
gentle with the proud flower.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
Old Bandit Yuan, you’re done for! You’re dead! If Laozi has to sleep in the
guest room, then I’ll kill you!
Yuan Ze was satisfied. After suffering all night, he was finally able to find
some fun.
Yeah, Close was Little Lunatic Wei’s weakness.
This tease wasn’t self conscious enough and he deserved to have Lulu get
jealous!
BP began. Wei Xiao flattered his boyfriend, “Captain, do you want to use
the shadow thief?”
Lu Feng: “No.”
Wei Xiao: “Then shall we take the double berserkers? Or double blood!”
The berserker thief and berserker warrior or the blood warrior and blood
raven thief were both super sweet Glory CPs.
Lu Feng paused.
Wei Xiao: “You can use whatever you want, I’ll cooperate with you!”
Lu Feng was in the first position. He took the blood warrior, and Wei Xiao,
who was in the second position, took the blood raven thief.
There were quite a few people in the training room. They all choked.
It was a proper training game; don’t f*cking show your love with it!
Kim Sung-hyun locked in the frost hunter. He wanted to shoot these

mandarin ducks and string them up with his arrows!
Li Heran took the elemental shaman. Brother Cai had recently developed a
psychological trauma over the elemental shaman and quivered. “I…”
Chen Feng: “Holy priest.”
Brother Cai was a little relieved. “Okay…”
First, there was Captain Yan’s elemental shaman, followed by Captain Li’s
elemental shaman. Glory’s top supports were all taking turns at him, and
Brother Cai wanted to express that this was the kind of story that even the
Gossip Emperor didn’t dare to write about!
Bai Cai was at ease with the holy priest.
At the very least, it was a talent he was good at. Although its mechanisms
meant its upper limit wasn’t as high as the elemental shaman’s, Bai Cai was
used to it and comfortable playing it. He wouldn’t feel flustered using it.
The line-up was set. Both sides were old opponents and could figure out
each other’s thoughts with a glance.
As soon as the game started, Yuan Ze, who was focused on Wei Xiao, felt
that things were different.
Old G also slid his e-sports chair over and perched on Wei Xiao’s left. At
the same time, he could also see Lu Feng, who was to his left.
Fanboy G had a very deep attachment to Close. It was fortunate that Wei
Xiao was playing this game, because otherwise he might’ve become jealous
enough to kick G out of the base in an instant.
Others might not have noticed it so quickly, but Yuan Ze and Gary couldn’t
help wanting to beat certain people up with a glance.
Learning quickly and making use of it quickly. It really made people so

angry their teeth itched.
In the previous game, L&P played against Y1, and they used a typical
jungler core system targeted at taking down marksman line-ups. L&P had
put in a lot of effort to find this path, which was strong enough, fierce
enough, and had a very stable type of suppression.
Yuan Ze and Old G had also cooperated for a very long time in order to
achieve the current effect.
That brat Wei Xiao had only watched for a single match, yet he’d already
picked it up and was making use of it at that moment.
What made it even more suffocating was that Lu Feng had also kept up with
his thought process.
The two of them clearly hadn’t talked about it and hadn’t communicated
their thoughts. They hadn’t even mentioned it, but they had such a tacit
understanding between them that it meant that they knew what the other
party wanted to do in an instant.
Yuan Ze’s teeth hurt slightly.
How did eating watermelon together even count as showing love? How did
choosing CP talents count as feeding dog food?
This f*cking ‘hearts are connected without needing to communicate’ was

the real way to abuse dogs!
At this point, it was better to remain silent than to speak. Scum Man Yuan
felt a little lonely.
Wei Xiao was very fierce at the start of the game. Kim Sung-hyun could
feel a sense of familiarity. “Why does it feel like we’re playing with L&P?”
He tilted his head and looked at Yuan Ze. “Old Shit, are you really so
selfless, teaching others your own family skills?”
Yuan Ze was like a mute person who’d taken a dose of bitter medicine. It
was bitter, but he still had to hold on. “Even you’re calling me Teacher. I
naturally have to have a teacher’s ethics.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “It’s Old Shit, not Teacher.”
God Kim had really put in effort and distinguished the sound differences so
clearly.
Unfortunately, Yuan Ze turned a deaf ear to this. “Everyone knows that I’m
your teacher. There’s no need to emphasize it so many times.”
In this game, Wei Xiao had indeed copied off the original, perfectly
reproducing L&P’s style of play in the last game.
At the start, Bai Cai hadn’t sensed it. By the time they took First Blood,
he’d figured it out.
Live learning and making use of it on the spot!
The question was: how could it be learned so quickly!
Bai Cai recalled the words Wei Xiao had said to him earlier––If we can’t
achieve the same effect as Captain Yan, then I’ll beat you to death.
In the last game, when FTW was up against Y1, Brother Cai had ended up
on his knees due to Yan Jiang’s elemental shaman.
In this game, Wei Xiao showed him in another way that it was really
possible to copy others blindly.
The key to it was holding up the pen to start!
If he didn’t have the courage to give it a try, then how could he know
whether he could or couldn’t do it?
Bai Cai thought back to how support had been played in the last match and
started to cooperate with Wei Xiao.
It was just a training match, and winning or losing wasn’t important. What
was important was to try!
Pro was the strongest marksman core team in the world. If they were able to
play this strategy out to some effect against them, then what else would they
be afraid of?!
Not only Bai Cai, but even Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle started to sense it
later on.
They didn’t have Wei Xiao and Lu Feng’s ability to copy, but they had the
deepest memory of what they’d just seen. Using this opportunity to
strengthen that memory was effective, too!
The entire L&P figured out what was happening.
They didn’t get angry and only felt that it was amusing.
Routines were something that couldn’t really be hidden. Whether or not

others could learn it depended on their own ability.
Obviously, Wei Xiao and Lu Feng’s top-jungler linkage was already

catching up to the top levels. If those currently at the peak didn’t work hard,
then they would only be beaten to death. The other three were still a bit
short and would need to try and practice many times in order to keep up.
FTW ultimately lost, but Kim Sung-hyun had already broken out in a cold
sweat. He spoke to Li Heran in Korean, “We’ll have to be careful in the
globals after they get some practice in.”
Li Heran also gave them a very high evaluation, “They have a very strong
ability to learn.”
It wasn’t just strong, it was simply too strong!
In the past FTW, the only person in the team who could ‘copy’ was Close.
Now, the entire team had this ‘ability’. It was simply terrifying!
The round robin between the five teams lasted until noon the next day.
The more FTW played, the more excited they became. First, they used
L&P’s style against Y1 to fight against Pro and make their scalps go numb;
later on, they used L&P’s tricks against EVE to make God Xie’s murderous
intent soar up to the skies; after that, they used Y1’s jungler core system to
fight hard against L&P and provoke them…
The final rankings were very interesting.
Pro was in first place, L&P was second place, Y1 and EVE were third
place, and FTW was very stable in fifth place.
But don’t look at how they were fifth, they were actually the biggest
winners!
This was one day and one night of learning and practising on the spot! And
they made use of it all very well.
Last year’s global top four inexplicably felt hollowed out!
There was something a little suspicious about how Y1 and EVE had tied for
third place.
If they’d really become second place and forced Yuan Ze or Kim Sung-
hyun to move out…
Yeah, it wasn’t worth it.
After the end of this long training match marathon, everyone was tired.
With the exception of one person.
Wei Xiao: “It’s a pity that Captain Yan and God Xie are just short two
points.”
Everyone present had a bad feeling.
Wei Xiao: “How about going for round two!”
The world’s peak level players: “………………” Are you not f*cking tired!
A certain little lunatic really wasn’t tired. He even had a suggestion, “Let’s
not play team games this time. Come and solo. I’ll dedicate myself to being
a target for you guys. You can take turns with meeeee… ah……”
The little lunatic was carried away by the great demon king before he could
finish.
Ch219.1 - Grandmaster, act
human. What are you drawing this
kind of thing for?
Wei Xiao was still distraught as he was carried away.
What a pity! This was an opportunity that would only occur once in a
lifetime!
No, no, no, this was definitely a chance that would only ever happen once!
It was gone, all gone. It had slipped through his fingers.
Just imagine, Y1, L&P, Pro, and EVE were all tired. They definitely
couldn’t play solo in a round robin system and could only take a rest after
each game.
That meant that he, Wei Xiao, would have room to play. He hadn’t been
able to let FTW act as a sandbag for team games, but there was now a
chance for him to enjoy himself!
Unfortunately…
Wei Xiao was still aggrieved by the time they returned to the base.
Lu Feng stared at him. “Sleep.”
After staying up for a whole day and night, the others toppled over and
went to sleep as soon as they got back to the dormitory. Only this little
bastard was still moaning and whining.
Wei Xiao: “Ying.”

Wei – Sister Xianglin – Xiao came online, “There was such a big pile of
solo…”
Lu Feng got up, surprising Wei Xiao.
In the next second, Wei Xiao had toppled back onto the soft bed, staring
with wide eyes at the man above him.
Lu Feng’s voice was deep and slow, “What did you want to do to Kim
Sung-hyun?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng drew closer to him bit by bit. The pressure of Lu Feng’s gaze was
directed right at his face, stabbing at Wei Xiao… until his cheeks were all
red.
“Cap… captain…”
Lu Feng bit him gently on the neck. “And who else did you want?”
Wei Xiao: “!!”
He was dead.
What solo? What round robin? What Team of Gods? All of it had gotten
lost somewhere away in the sky.
Wei Xiao wrapped his arms around Lu Feng’s neck, his heart pounding
even as he continued to run his mouth, “I only want my captain, boyfriend,
lover, Big Brother Lu, husband… mm…”
Wei Little Xiao’s physical strength wasn’t on par with his mouth’s ability to
boast.
The earlier training match had gone on for a day and night, and he’d been
more focused than anyone else. He’d been serious from the first game all
the way to the last second, and not only had he used up physical energy, he
was also extremely mentally tired.
He was greedy and wanted to solo, but in fact, he’d been unable to hold up
since a long time ago.
Lu Feng made him come once, and Wei Xiao didn’t even have the strength
to take a shower afterwards. Lu Feng had to carry him over to take a quick
shower, then bring him back.
Wei Xiao was in a daze. “Captain……”
Lu Feng endured his own arousal. “Mm.”
Wei Xiao seemed to be talking in his dreams, “Love you…”
Lu Feng’s heart felt sticky and sweet, like melted maple syrup. He kissed
his lips and said, “Sleep.”
Wei Xiao slept soundly, sticking close and wrapping around him like an
octopus. He had a dreamless night.
Wei Xiao’s sleepwalking had been cured ever since he started going out
with Lu Feng.
In the past, he would definitely sleepwalk as long as he was extremely tired

after being highly excited mentally or physically.
Two years ago, he’d pounced into Lu Feng’s arms and slept with him all
night; during the winter training camp, he’d also climbed into Lu Feng’s
bed and pestered him there.
Now, Wei Xiao never sleepwalked anymore.
He was clearly tired to the extreme, but his sleep was now very stable.
Lu Feng hugged Wei Xiao and thought back to two years ago.
He’d first met Wei Xiao two years ago, and spent 48 hours straight soloing
with him, ignoring both night and day.
Those 48 hours had passed by quickly. Lu Feng only realized it had been
such a long time after he’d come back to his senses.
Wei Xiao had been sleeping in the guest room, but Lu Feng had been a little
worried. He’d gone to the guest room to check in on him, but unexpectedly,
the door had opened just before he could knock, and there had been a
helpless young man standing dazed in front of him.
Lu Feng was a little stunned. “Wei Xiao?”
Without saying anything, the half grown young man had pounced into his
arms like a child that no one wanted.
Lu Feng: “!”
Hot tears soaked into his chest through his thin pajamas, and the youth’s
voice was soft as he attempted to suppress his grievances, “Don’t go.”
Lu Feng didn’t know who Wei Xiao thought he was. “You……”
Wei Xiao hugged him tight. “Don’t leave me behind.”
Lu Feng’s back stiffened, and then he embraced him gently. “It’s all right.”
Wei Xiao’s body relaxed slightly, but he never let go of Lu Feng. He even
muttered a sentence, “How hard…”
Later, Wei Xiao ultimately never learned the story of how he’d opened Lu
Feng’s closed door and sleepwalked into his room.
The answer was that Lu Feng had taken him back to his room and coaxed
him to sleep.
After playing for a full day and night, then sleeping for 12 hours, everyone
woke up full of energy and in good spirits.
Chen Feng didn’t waste any time at all and took them all to the training
room to start going over the game replays.
Playing training matches involved a moment of feeling great that was

followed by death via replay reviews.
The little ones all wilted and splayed out weakly on the table.
Chen Feng took out a soul sucking poster to cheer everyone up.
There was nothing wrong with a countdown, but there was something very
wrong with drawing it out in such a ghastly manner!
Those who understood knew that Coach Chen Feng had drawn a countdown
to the global competition in order to motivate the players and urge the team
to continue to make progress.
Those who didn’t know better thought that it was a wizard drawing a ghost
talisman in order to curse FTW…
In any case, Fu Li was startled when he stepped into the FTW training
room.
Eurostar shot straight to his feet. “Holy shit!”
After that, the cowardly baby yelled and cursed loudly, “Grandmaster, act
human. What are you drawing this kind of thing for? Are you going to
repay a life with a life if you scare people to death?!”
Wei Xiao: “???”
The little lunatic’s reputation had been smeared!
Eurostar: “Other than you, who else would be so bored? Drawing such a
damned thing, you must have done it on purpose!”
“It wasn’t Wei Xiao.” Coach Chen Feng spoke coldly, “I drew it.”
Eurostar: “!”
Fu Li had heard a bit about Soul Painting Master Chen’s abilities in the
Glory circle. “It’s very distinctive.”
Eurostar hid behind his captain.
Sure enough, FTW and TPT were on bad terms with each other. Even their
greetings were filled with the scent of gunpowder.
Wei Xiao had been wronged for no reason and was unhappy in his heart.
“Euro-coward, what are you doing here?”
Eurostar stretched his head out to look at him. “My captain brought me
here!”
Wei Xiao looked at Fu Li, “Captain Fu?”
TPT was now on vacation. Why had he run over to FTW instead of resting
properly?
Of course, nobody ever went to the temple for nothing.
Fu Li didn’t bother with nonsense, either. He got straight to the point, “I

heard you played three days and three nights of training matches with the
top four.”
The four little ones: “???”
Chen Feng rubbed his forehead: What kind of rumors were making the
rounds outside?
Fu Li: “I heard that it started because of Wei Xiao. Whoever won first place
would be able to sign him onto their team next season.”
The three small ones all turned their heads over in panic.
Wei Xiao: “Dream on! Laozi was born in FTW and will die as FTW’s
ghost!”
Fu Li: “In that case, they want Close.”
Wei Xiao was about to explode any minute now. “Close is mine!”
Fu Li made a pointed ‘oh’ sound that ended on an upward tone.
Wei Xiao came back to his senses and recalled the temperament of this guy
with the black glasses and figured out that he was just talking nonsense.
“Where did Captain Fu hear this gossip from?”
Fu Li’s expression didn’t change despite having been exposed. He had first
class skills in tossing around blame. “Do you know about the Gossip
Emperor’s Weibo? He was the one who sent it.”
The real Gossip Emperor, Brother Cai: “!”
I’m not, I didn’t, Captain Fu, don’t f*cking tell lies with your eyes wide
open.
Fu Li really continued to talk nonsense with his eyes wide open. “However,
you don’t have to go look for it now. He’s already deleted it.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
If he didn’t know that the Gossip Emperor was a certain vegetable stalk, if
he didn’t know for sure that this vegetable stalk wasn’t that bold, then he
would really have believed Fu Li!
But what Fu Li said wasn’t all pure nonsense.
The netizens’ brain holes and ability to make things up were many and
varied. Even the craters on the moon would be ashamed to compare
themselves to those theories.
The more mysterious, hidden, and kept from the light something was, the
more excited the fans were when it came to their guesses.
Something about the four teams greeting the host competition zone’s team,
something about the Team of Gods meeting up with their youngest brother,
something about Captain Yuan falling for the little tease in FTW and
wanting nothing else but to take him back home, something about Captain
Yan and Quiet forming ties during the global singles performance
competition, something about how God Kim and Wei Xiao’s interactions
from the winter training camp that had to be shared…
Compared with the netizens, Captain Fu had already been very polite.
Fu Li hadn’t come to FTW to feel out gossip. He’d come for proper
business.
Fu Li: “It’s unfortunate that we didn’t make it to the battle of freedom in the
finals.”
The so-called battle of freedom was the last match in a BO5 game. Talents
could be picked at will, and players would have a fierce direct battle.
Wei Xiao: “You guys would’ve lost even if we’d really made it to the battle
of freedom.”
Was FTW’s inherited shadow thief a joke?
This was exactly why Fu Li had come. “Let’s play a match?”
Wei Xiao: “?”
Fu Li: “You guys take the shadow thief.”
There was no need for him to say more. Wei Xiao got it. “You have a
routine against it?”
Fu Li: “Yes.”
Such a determined tone made Wei Xiao excited!

After going through seven or eight hours of replay review, the three little
ones all grew eager and excited to log into the game as soon as they heard
that there would be a training match.
Chen Feng understood this well. He cleared up the sand table and videos
and let them touch their keyboard and mouse.
Lu Feng had something to deal with and only arrived a few minutes later.
They had set up the training room in this period of time, and everyone soon
entered the blind selection interface.
Chen Feng wasn’t polite at all and directly locked in FTW’s strongest line-
up.
Death knight, shadow thief, ice mage, holy priest, frost hunter.
Double shadow plus double ice. This line-up was one that FTW had never
lost with before.
Wei Xiao saw TPT’s line-up as they entered the canyon.
Blood warrior, berserker thief, zither warlock, puppet warlock, gun

launcher.
Double warlock…
It couldn’t be called a strong line-up, and it even consisted of benched

talents.
This line-up could beat Wei Xiao’s shadow thief?
Wei Xiao was skeptical about this, and the others in FTW also held a wait-
and-see attitude.
However, if Fu Li dared to come find them, then it meant that he definitely

had something up his sleeve. FTW wouldn’t underestimate their opponent.
They cleared their jungle and lanes, starting off the game smoothly.
Three minutes into the game, top-laner Wei Ji happily sent out First
Blood––he had to smile even if he wasn’t happy! When faced with Close,
surviving for three minutes was already a victory!
Ch219.2 - What’s wrong with your
China competition zone?
Things were relatively calm before level 6. It was only after level 6 that Wei
Xiao got a feel for TPT’s routine.
The zither warlock together with the puppet warlock was a really disgusting
combo.
One of them had control skills, DPS, and healing, while the other one could
force the shadow thief to move a certain way. When used correctly, even the
curve of the light arcs could be twisted around!
Although the light arcs had a wide attack range, it was still aimed in a
certain direction.
The area 180 degrees in front of the shadow thief was its attack direction.
As the light arcs stacked up, the range would increase, but no matter how
wide it was, there was still a front and back to the damage dealt.
The puppet warlock could manipulate an enemy talent. There was no need
to twist him around too much. As long as he was gently turned around in
the first half second of the light arcs, the damage dealt would be greatly
reduced!
What was even more disgusting was that the puppet warlock could also
move their own teammates.
If they were unable to control the shadow thief, then they just had to move
their own heroes, instantly shifting from a position in front of the shadow
thief to behind him. Even though the damage caused by the back of eight
light arcs wasn’t low, it was no longer enough for an insta kill.
As long as they were still alive, then the zither warlock’s healing was
enough for them to continue living on.
The shadow thief was a hero who would have an empty period where no
skills could be used after brushing out the light arcs. If he was unable to kill
off his opponents right then, it would be very difficult for him to continue
dealing damage.
So, if he couldn’t kill the other side, then he would either have to run off
and escape or be killed off by his opponents.
High performance talents also meant high risk.
Wei Xiao and Lu Feng’s shadow thief was too strong, and they’d covered
up this high risk, but Fu Li had now exposed it.
Wei Xiao sucked in a breath. “There’s something there.”
Chen Feng was shocked as he watched: it was fortunate that they hadn’t
dragged things on until the battle of freedom. If they’d really hit the fifth
match, then it would be difficult to say who the champion would be.
The five players from TPT were obviously holding onto repressed anger.
They’d lost 3-0 in the finals, and it had taken them many days to recover
from the loss.
Although they weren’t really angry, it was certain that they were unable to
remain calm.
During this season, FTW had travelled through a bumpy path and worked
bitterly to improve themselves. How could it not be the same for them?
Fu Li wished that there were 48 hours to each day, and Eurostar could see
his own captain in the training room no matter what time he went. Old
veteran players Du Yi, Wei Ji watched as even new players were so hard
working, so how could they not follow suit?
Trust was accumulated through joint efforts that had been made over
endless days and nights.
Admittedly, TPT also had some of the problems that FTW had had before––
an overreliance on their captain.
However, this unconditional trust had also contributed to the current TPT.
They had been eclipsed in the finals, but to be able to come and have a
training match with FTW again so soon meant that even without
mentioning anything else, the TPT team’s psychological state was definitely
one of the best in the league.
As they fought on, Wei Xiao was also able to figure out Fu Li’s intentions.
His mouth might be shouting about regret and wanting to let FTW see the
ace up their sleeve, but in fact, they were there to accompany them to train,
remind them, and help them circumvent potential problems.
If TPT could come up with a viable routine, then the many excellent teams
worldwide probably could, as well.
The shadow thief had already become FTW’s signboard. And as a

signboard, it would definitely be studied.
This round of actions from TPT was really done out of the goodness of their
heart. They showed their routine to FTW, simultaneously reminding them
not to blindly trust in their line-up but to make full preparations in order to
avoid the possible risks.
The zither warlock used in conjunction with the puppet warlock really
restrained the shadow thief.
Du Yi didn’t have Yan Jiang’s precision control, and Fu Li couldn’t do Yan

Jiang’s super-strong control, but their line-up was actually more devastating
than Y1’s.
There were very few players who could use the elemental shaman like Yan
Jiang.
But there were many puppet warlock and zither warlock players who could
play at Du Yi and Fu Li’s level.
This simple combination was already able to put FTW in a tight spot, and
this was the most deadly point.
There was only one Y1, but there were many TPTs. FTW had to be on alert
and come up with countermeasures.
After the training match, Fu Li spoke calmly, “This line-up still has
breakthrough points.”
Wei Xiao was full of respect for this Glory study god. “Captain Fu, please
share!”
Fu Li might be kind, but he wouldn’t give everything out in vain. He’d

taken out and shared the treasure at the bottom of his chest and naturally
wanted some reward in return.
Fu Li: “So, you guys played one day and one night of training matches?”
Wei Xiao understood what he wanted as soon as he heard this.
Chen Feng said, “You can stay and watch the replays if you’re interested.”
The training match recordings shouldn’t be shared externally, but it didn’t

matter if they stayed here and watched it. Additionally, they were only
watching the games where FTW was involved, and TPT had already missed
their opportunity to enter the globals, so they wouldn’t be exposing any
tactics.
Fu Li: “Okay.”
This was what he’d been waiting for.
There was no BP in the battle of freedom, so it was difficult to target the

zither warlock and puppet warlock through BP. The starting point to
avoiding this problem lay with the support position.
Chen Feng had thought of having Brother Cai practice the purification
priest, but unexpectedly, Fu Li gave them another answer, “You guys can
also take the puppet warlock.”
This…
It was true that the same talent could be chosen by both sides in the battle of
freedom…
Wei Xiao clapped. “We can do that!”
If they practiced this line-up, they could counter anything the opposite side
decided to use.
Fu Li continued, “If you’re brave enough, you can also consider using the
space-time knight.”
The space-time knight had the ability to turn back time. If it was used well,
then the shadow thief could resurrect on the spot and fight another round.
Of course, the risk factor involved was high as well. Whether or not that 0.1
second could be grasped accurately was very important.
And the shadow thief needed to have absolute confidence in order to lead
their team to victory.
Brother Cai’s face was as white as snow. “This one…”
Regardless of whether it was the puppet warlock or the space-time knight,

both of them were unfamiliar talents for him!
Lu Feng: “I’ll use the space-time knight.”
Oh yeah. Not only could the space-time knight be used for support, it could
also be used in the top lane. Brother Tang had used it before, but later, after
Lu Feng went to the top lane, everyone still regarded him as a strong DPS
dealer and forgot that in fact, he could also…
Wei Xiao was jumping around eagerly, “Come and try it!”
TPT hadn’t played enough, either, so the two sides went at it again.
This time, FTW had adjusted their line-up. The death knight was now a
space-time knight, and the holy priest was now a puppet warlock…
They had the same calm start, and after level six, the shadow thief once
again regained his freedom and became a team fight explosive bomber.
Fu Li was shocked as he played, and he had the same thought as the Team
of Gods: They learned too quickly!
Brother Cai’s words might sound noob, but in fact, he was very easily
motivated.
In particular, Wei Xiao was the one bringing him with him. Brother Cai’s
mouth might whine about how he couldn’t do it, and it couldn’t be done,
but he played it out the way it should be done. It was very typical of Brother
Vegetable.
Fu Li stayed at FTW for two days. Not only did he share his routine for the
battle of freedom, he even contributed his learning god brain and
temporarily became a special coach for FTW.
He watched the replay videos over and over again, and wrote many analysis
reports. His seriousness in picking up details was on par with Chen Feng’s.
By the time the analysis report and training procedures were complete, Fu
Li had finished off a large bucket of goji berry coffee.
Eurostar was taken by surprise when he stepped out of his room.
“Captain!”
This slightly messy short hair, pale face, and the dark circles under his gold
framed glasses––
He could cosplay as a vampire without putting on make-up!
Fu Li rubbed his eyebrows. “The globals will be a fierce battle.”
Eurostar was worried. “FTW can do it, right?”

Fu Li breathed in lightly. “They have to.”
He’d used up half his life staying up to help them. If FTW didn’t win the
championship, then they wouldn’t be living up to his half box of black
coffee and goji berries.
FTW was quite embarrassed when faced with such a desperately working
Fu.
Fu Li spoke very reasonably, “I’m not doing it for you.”
Wei Xiao had heard this so much that his ears were growing calluses, “Yes,
yes, Captain Fu is doing it for our competition zone and the number of seed
teams for the globals in the next season.”
Fu Li nodded.
Wei Xiao laughed. “Don’t worry. The golden dragon trophy is ours. You
guys need to work hard to finish second next season.”
The implication was that if FTW won the global championship, then they
would earn two places for China next year. As for whether or not TPT could
win second place in China, that would depend on their own ability.
Fu Li: “……………………”
To hell with your second place!
The silver dragon trophy would belong to TPT next year!
Money came for a visit and ran into Fu Li.
Mo Hui was wary. “You guys must be engaged in some shady activities.”
As the saying went, it was difficult for a scholar to reason with a soldier. Fu
Li really disliked someone like Money, who only knew how to sprinkle
money around. He didn’t say a word and turned around to leave.
Money rushed into the FTW base and questioned the first person he came
across.
Brother Cai found a rubber band and tied it around his hand, hinting that
things were a little tight.
Captain Mo, who still had quite a significant salary despite no longer
having his pocket money, directly made a transfer.
Brother Cai counted it and was quite satisfied. “Please come in, Captain
Mo.”
Money was surprised to learn of Fu Li’s hard work. “I didn’t expect that
that damned beast in glasses would see the big picture.”
Captain Fu, who’d returned back to his base, sneezed.
Eurostar was nervous and anxious, “Captain, did you catch a cold?”
Fu Li: “……”
He hadn’t caught a cold, but there was a 80% chance that someone had
cursed him.
Wei Xiao explained in Fu Li’s stead, “Captain Fu sees the bigger picture
and is forward-thinking. He’s aiming for the next season.”
Mo Hui: “In fact, I’m also very forward-thinking.”
Wei Xiao: “Oh?”
Mo Hui’s little abacus crackled as he calculated, “Don’t you think that our
RR is a bit like a little EVE?”
They couldn’t tell if he was being self-deprecating or if he was pasting gold

on his own face!
Mo Hui: “My family’s Little Moon is no worse than Xie He!”
He really wasn’t much worse…
After all, he was a man who’d managed to win against God Xie before.
Mo Hui: “Why don’t you share Old Fu’s analysis report on EVE with us?
We’ll go back and ponder over it, then practice EVE’s routines to act as
sandbags for you guys.”
Why did the word sandbag sound so familiar?
It was fortunate that the top four teams in the world didn’t hear this. If they
were at the scene, they would definitely all complain: What’s wrong with
your China competition zone? Are all of you addicted to being sandbags?!
Wei Xiao thought it over for a moment.
Brother Cai took the opportunity to try and overcharge him, “You’re asking
for exclusive secrets. Captain Mo, shouldn’t you…”
Money: “Give me back the Porsche!”
Brother Cai was shocked. “Dream on!”
Share Fu Li’s analysis reports with RR?
It wasn’t that they couldn’t.
RR was indeed a bit like EVE, especially when it came to Moonlit. There
was no avoiding that he was the leader of this new generation of prickly
mages.
If RR was really able to learn to play like a 70-80% EVE copy, then they
would really be suitable practice partners for FTW.
The globals were coming soon, and making training matches with another
competitor was unrealistic.
Reserving ready-made sandbags within their own competition zone would
be very convenient.
Mo Hui went straight to the FTW boss and tried to move him with reason
and emotion, “… I’m doing this for our China competition zone!”
Lu Feng dealt with official business.
Money: “I’m also doing it to help you win the championship!”
Lu Feng continued with his work.
Money could only pull out his killer move. “Do you think I won’t share
your first grade composition with Wei Xiao?”
Wei Xiao pushed the door open and came in, “What?”
Ch220 - Could it be that you’re
secretly in love with my captain!
The door wasn’t closed, and a gap had been left there, so Wei Xiao had
come in directly. He hadn’t been trying to eavesdrop, so he didn’t know
what was going on and only vaguely heard the words ‘first grade’, and ‘to
Wei Xiao’.
Wei Xiao’s interest was piqued, and he interpreted these words simply,
“What first grade? A photo of my captain from first grade?”
When these words came out, Wei Xiao was the first to be excited by his
own words.
First grade.
Seven years old.
Was the pale and cute and lovely little captain just as meticulous and
unsmiling as he was now?
Or was the seven year old little captain an innocent and naïve boy who
hadn’t yet learned his refrigeration skills?
Getting affected by something he came up with on his own, Wei Little Xiao
was a really special one.
Money tensed up. “I’m not, I didn’t, don’t frame me!”
F*ck, if he spread out that kind of picture, Lu Feng would take him down
and destroy him. However, he didn’t have any photos of Lu Feng from
when he was that little. Lu Feng had been abroad until he was 10 years old,
and he had already become a cool and distant youth by the time he came
back. Mo Hui didn’t know what he was like as a child.
Wei Xiao was very disappointed. “Then what are you saying you’ll give me
from first grade?”
Mo Hui glanced at Lu Feng and said, “I was talking about your captain’s
composition from the first year of middle school!”
Wei Xiao: “???”
Lu Feng stared at Mo Hui, his eyes filled with warning.
Mo Hui: “!” Forget it, he would give up his life for the sake of RR”s future!
Wei Xiao continued to make things up in his brain. This time, it was the
young captain from first year middle school, sitting at his desk and carefully
writing out a short composition about his dreams, the future, and blah blah
blah.
“I want it!” Wei Xiao said quickly, “I want the composition, too. Where is
it? Give it to me quickly!” He would take it back and frame it as an
heirloom!
Mo Hui continued to sneak glances at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng didn’t look at him again.
Wei Xiao naturally knew what Mo Hui wanted and opened his mouth to
say, “Give me your little composition, and I’ll help you plead with the
captain and get him to share the analysis report with you.”
Mo Hui froze. “This…”
Although this development was a bit strange, it seemed to be in line with

his goal?
He’d originally intended to use this piece of black history to threaten Lu

Feng, but… he’d managed to hook a little lunatic instead?
Wei Xiao had already started up his acting spoiled mode. “Captain~”
How could Mo Hui not understand how things were after looking at this
situation?
The iceberg had a hard time against this little sticky one, and FTW’s real
voice of power was in the hands of this little lunatic!
“Deal!”
Mo Hui didn’t hesitate to sell out his old classmate. For the sake of RR, and
for the sake of Little Moon-moon, he wasn’t scared of life or death!
Wei Xiao suddenly recalled another thing and turned to stare at Mo Hui.
“Why do you have my captain’s first grade composition?”
Mo Hui: “Er……”
Wei Xiao fur stuck up alertly, and the alarms rang continuously. “How
many years has it been, why did you keep my captain’s composition?”
Mo Hui: “…………”
Wei Xiao’s jealousy rushed up to the heavens. “Could it be that you’re

secretly in love with my captain!”
Mo Hui: “………………….”
The relationship between Wei Xiao and Lu Feng was the type where those
who knew about it knew everything, and those who didn’t know anything,
knew nothing at all.
Mo Hui was obviously one of the people who knew.
He was a good single dog. How come he had ended up standing in the
middle of the storm!
Lu Feng purposely remained silent, his black eyes filled with, ‘You brought
this on yourself’.
Wei Xiao blew up. “The captain is mine. Your secret love for him will be
fruitless!”
Mo Hui watched as the water from the Yellow River rushed up toward his
face. If this went on, he wouldn’t be able to clear his name even if he
jumped right in to wash himself clean. He said quickly, “For revision!”
Wei Xiao: “?”
Mo Hui had really lost face. Even before exposing Lu Feng’s black history,
he’d managed to thoroughly sell himself out. “You know… haven’t you
encountered it before? When your composition is really bad, and your
teacher gives you a composition that got full marks for you to write out
from the start…”
Mo Hui naturally wasn’t interested in Lu Feng.
He’d kept the composition from their first year of middle school because
they were from the same class, and Lu Feng had been number one in their
grade. He was a model student, while Mo Hui’s composition had scored at
the very bottom. Even children from the first grade of primary school
would’ve laughed at it.
The teacher, in a rage, had given him Lu Feng’s composition and told him
to copy it out three times.
Mo Hui certainly hadn’t copied it, but he’d taken the composition home.
His Grandma Mo had happened to come by for a visit and was overjoyed to
see this well written and content rich essay. She’d been pleasantly surprised.
“Little Hui, did you write this? It’s so well written!”
Grandma Mo spent a full 800 words praising it without repeating herself,
and Mo Hui really didn’t have the guts to tell her that this was an excellent
example template he was supposed to copy, so he’d ended up shamelessly
accepting her praise.
Grandma Mo was really overjoyed. She took the composition and kept it
like a treasure.
So, this composition was particularly well protected and had been left there
for a good several years…
After hearing this story, Wei Xiao found the entire thing incredible.
Mo Hui: “Do you get it now?” Any kind of learning scum must have
encountered this kind of thing before.
Wei Xiao shook his head. “I don’t. I’ve been number one in my class ever
since I was a child. Although my compositions never won any awards, I’ve
been featured on campus tabloids.”
Mo Hui: “???”
It wasn’t until after he gave out Lu Feng’s composition and obtained Fu Li’s
research analysis that he came to a conclusion. Mo Hui slapped his own
thigh. “No wonder Laozi lost to them. What is a group of study gods doing
here playing games? Wouldn’t it be good for them to go and engage in
scientific research instead?”
After Mo Hui left, Wei Xiao took the composition that Lu Feng had written
in his first year of middle school and read over it again and again.
His handwriting was neat, and the paragraphs were clean. The content
within was also beautifully written.
The reason why it was beautiful was because the topic of this composition
was a little heartbreaking––how wonderful it was to have a home.
This sentence was too ironic for Lu Feng.
Lu Feng had written a very beautiful and very well structured composition
that had gotten a high score but had nothing to do with himself.
The smile on the corner of Wei Xiao’s mouth grew tighter and tighter as he
looked at it. He could taste the bitterness in these perfect words and
sentences.
Lu Feng hugged him from behind. “Why do this?”
Wei Xiao’s back stiffened. He didn’t really want Lu Feng to read over his
own composition again.
Lu Feng didn’t care about this essay he’d previously written. Instead, he
pecked him on the neck. “Why ask Mo Hui for these things?”
Wei Xiao’s heart was sour, his voice soft, “I want to know about your
past…”
Lu Feng: “Just ask me.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng: “If you want to see, then I’ll take you back home when there’s
time. I still have some of these things.”
Wei Xiao turned his head, his black eyes shining bright. “Oh yeah… Why
did I get fooled by Money? Obviously, you’re the one who knows yourself
best. I…”
At the thought of how he’d ‘sold’ the research analysis, Wei Xiao was
annoyed. “Ahhhh, I’m so stupid, why didn’t you remind me just now!”
Lu Feng smiled slightly. “Family stupidity shouldn’t be publicized outside.”
Little Stupid Wei pounced up and bit at his boyfriend’s thin smiling lips.
In fact, regardless of whether it was FTW, Lu Feng, Wei Xiao, or even Fu
Li, they didn’t mind sharing these things with RR.
The China competition zone had been in a slump for too long.
They were eager for the world championship, strengthening their local
competition zone, and seeing the rise of more strong teams.
What they were most afraid of was not having no achievements, but of
having no one to fight for them.
TPT, RR, 3U……
The new generation was holding up the China competition zone with hard
work and sweat.
To be fair, RR were very qualified as sandbags. They were easy to use and
resistant to beatings.
After playing for seven or eight hours, Mo Hui complained bitterly, “I

regret it, Laozi regrets it!”
Damn it, he was getting old, and his body couldn’t keep up. He couldn’t
beat these young people anymore.
Moonlit: “Ha ha.”
Wei Xiao: “Ha ha.”
Lu Feng: “Ha.”
Money: “……”
Don’t ask, if you ask, then he really did have back pain!
Later on, 3U also joined the ranks of the sandbags. To Wei Xiao’s great
surprise, Brother Sleep, who never spoke a word when Cong Yi was there,
was now talking.
Although he still wasn’t talkative and used so few words that it still
required translation, the curious thing was that his teammates in 3U could
understand him.
One word from Asleep, “Point.”
Li Chun quickly went to stand at a certain point in the river in the middle of
the canyon, having completely understood what Sleep God meant!
Wei Xiao was left speechless. “A plug-in?”
Li Chun replied delightedly, “Don’t you think it’s great? My captain’s

instructions are simple, fast, and effective.”
The premise for this was being able to understand…
And you guys can’t call this a command, it’s a code!
Could it be that one of the criteria for joining 3U in the future was to
understand these Morse-like codewords?
Badass, UuU.
Cong Yi was still the team’s support. It was said that he and Asleep talked
for two hours after the semi-finals.
Wei Xiao couldn’t imagine how they’d talked, but after that conversation,
3U was now trying something new.
Cong Yi didn’t switch to the mid-lane, but he began working on a new way
of playing support.
Who said that a support player couldn’t lead the rhythm of the game?
Who said that a support player can’t make amazing plays?
Who said that a support couldn’t be ever-changing?

Cong Yi didn’t want to be Yan Jiang. He wanted to open up a new path for
support players!
Wei Xiao glanced at his own vegetable.
Bai Cai: “Don’t look at me!”
Wei Xiao poked his forehead. “No one’s asking you to learn from them. It’s
great having a salted fish vegetable.”
It was quiet and peaceful before the globals, like the calm before the storm
War was coming, and FTW’s training grew even more intense.
They fought with their fellow brothers, battled against the Team of Gods,
constantly reviewing and analyzing their games. In just one short week’s
time, FTW’s growth was amazing.
The 16 finalists from the globals assembled, and a fierce battle was
imminent.
With only two days left in the countdown, the organizers announced an
innovative change in the competition system for the globals.
There was an uproar online as soon as the news came out. This change was
a really big one!
Glory was really ruthless and was launching new talents prior to the start of
the competition. This time, they were launching five new talents all in one
go.
There were new talents for the thief, warrior, mage, hunter, and priest
classes.
Players of the game were all excited and after studying the new talents for a
long time, they came to a conclusion, “These are all f*cking tailor-made for
professional players!”
Five talents was just enough to form a team with. What’s more, these five
talents were easy to figure out, difficult to master, and had very high
operation limits.
Ordinary players could use them, and passers-by could show off with them,
but a gap would instantly open up when they fell into the hands of
professional players. It was like playing two completely different heroes.
The fans were focused on: “This is interesting, this competition will be fun
to watch!”
“Go, go, go, give me a showdown to the death in the holographic

projections!”
“Ahhhhh, I feel that the new thief and warrior talents are a good match.
After looking at the background information video, it seems like it’s another
deep and sadistic love affair.”
“The priest is also exciting. How come it feels like a love triangle?”
“Who, who, who? A love triangle between the mid, jungle, and support?”
“No! It’s top-jungler-support…”
“What kind of devil’s match is this?”
“It’s probably because there are too many love relationships between mid-
jungler-support and jungler-support-marksmen, so the game officials
wanted to stir up something new?”
“Looking forward to it! If we fill in the gaps with our FTW, wouldn’t that
be our twin jungler kings and little wifey?”
“That’s a triangle of sugar from FTW. If you want to suffer knives, then
please take a look at the old and new FTW…”
“Holy shit… Yan Lu Xiao?”
“Keep it implicit!”
The introduction of new talents was a normal thing, but there was another
innovation that caused a stir.
The global competition games would still be held in BO5 mode, but the
battle of freedom that was the last match had been moved forward to
become the first match.
That meant that the first match of the game would be a blind selection of
talents without BP. This instantly took the fans’ excitement to a new peak.
“This…”
“My FTW is going to dominate!”
“The first game is a blind selection, meaning that FTW’s inherited shadow
thief can finally be released!”
“Holy shit, doesn’t this mean that FTW will never be zero shaved again?”
This so-called ‘zero shaved’ meant losing the game 3:0. These words
referred to FTW being able to stably win the first game.
“Calm down! Think about Xie He’s immortal warlock… Yuan Ze’s death
knight… Gary’s shadow thief is very badass too…”
“And there’s Li Heran’s elemental shaman with Kim Sung-hyun’s gold

hunter…”
“That winning line-up that Y1 has maintained for two years…”
“Hurry up, hurry up, everyone make noise about how much you want to
watch the game!”
Having the battle of freedom shift from the fifth match to the first match
was something that made everyone both happy and worried.
However, the competition committee wasn’t concerned about this. It had

made this adjustment for the sake of traffic.
A team’s trump card would be used right at the start. This meant that their
audience ratings would absolutely be able to go up against the heavens.
There was also another unprecedented adjustment that was tantamount to a

blow to many teams.
This year’s BO5 adopted the full game BP model.
This so-called full game BP meant that banned and selected talents couldn’t
be repeated across all the matches in a game.
The exception was the blind selection in the first match.
Starting from the second match, the four ban positions (reduced from six to
four) could no longer be repeated throughout the whole game. For example,
if the red side banned the shadow thief in the second match, then that talent
could no longer be banned during subsequent matches.
The same was true for the selected positions. For example, if the shadow
thief was used in the second match, then it couldn’t be used again in the
next match.
What did that mean?
It was like cutting off the left arm of professional players who were only
good at one or two talents.
The teams who had relied on only one or two line-ups to gain dominance
were instantly left in a tight spot.
The new competition system for the globals was both fierce enough and
exciting enough!
It was Glory’s peak level competitive event that would show everyone more
than a limited set of line-ups and talents. They hoped to display more
talents on the competitive arena, and bring more surprises to the audience.
This was a good starting point, and this innovation had indeed mobilized
the audience’s enthusiasm to the greatest extent.
But…
Countless clubs had their hair turn white overnight.
What the hell…
Did they think that the coaching team had too much hair? Would they only
be satisfied when they all turned bald?
FTW’s fans were jubilant as soon as the competition system came out.
“Sure enough, as long as you live for long enough, any good thing can fall
from the sky.”
“If I remember correctly, our FTW has two players with a deep talent sea?”
“Yea, one is the great demon king, and the other is the little lunatic. Lu-
Xiao CP, give it a try?”
Ch221 - The China competition
zone had no fear!
The FTW coaching team wasn’t as optimistic as the fans were.
It was true that Lu Feng and Wei Xiao were both talent kaleidoscopes and
all-around players who could play well using anything. They would benefit
from this new competition system.
But the three little ones weren’t as all-powerful.
Bai Cai and Yue Wenle had only played for a season. The former was only
focused on the holy priest or light priest, and his motto was––I can use
these two talents until I die.
Yue Wenle’s frost hunter was his signature talent. He also used the gold
hunter, which was relatively similar, and he was becoming more and more
familiar with some of the gunner type talents, but it wasn’t enough for him
to survive under the full game BP competition system.
Although Little Ning was definitely a newcomer, he was actually in a better

situation.
Newcomers had no limitations.
Ning Zhehan was inexperienced but gifted. He would dare to use anything
without following set patterns. As for how effective that would be… it
remained to be seen.
In a five person game, three of them couldn’t pull their full weight. FTW’s
coaching team was so worried that they were going bald.
Fortunately, they weren’t the only ones who were going bald. Basically all
of the finalists’ brains were buzzing, and they were all scolding the
competition committee for acting inhuman. They had only released the
announcement for such a big change now; weren’t they afraid that the
competition would end in failure?
The competition committee really wasn’t afraid. Glory had been operating
for over ten years, and it had held 11 global tournaments. By now, all of the
teams who could stand at the peak were all old pros, and what kind of big
storms or big waves had they not seen before?
The competition committee had already started acting up three years ago.
Which game would dare to reveal new talents right before the competition?
Glory dared.
If they didn’t throw out a deep-water torpedo, then both the clubs and the
audience would be too carefree.
Now, they were even crueler. They announced this great innovation to the
competition two days prior to the competition, and then set the draw for the
day before the game. They’d obviously been scolded so much that their
heads were now as hard as iron, and they weren’t afraid of being sent blades
in retaliation.
The head of the competition committee smiled like a fox during the press
conference. “A new competition system, a new thrill. I believe that each
elite team in Glory will be able to bring more exciting and wonderful games
to our fans.”
He was just short of saying––
Daddy just wants to mess with you. You’ve been messing around in Glory
for over ten years. If you don’t even have this bit of ability, then do you
deserve to be called an elite team? Do you deserve to win the championship
and covet the huge 30 million bonus that comes from the players?!
The winning bonus was related to the game. The original bonus for the
team competition was only 5 million, and it was the in-game players who’d
slowly raised the bonus up to 30 million through their contributions
throughout the year.
The competition committee itself was greedy. If they didn’t create a high
enough difficulty, then how would the players deserve to win and take
home this amazing prize?
The competition committee tortured the teams while pleasing the audience.
After all, if the competition was fun to watch, then the audience would pay
for it, building a virtuous cycle for the next season.
FTW’s pre-game special training was still in full swing.
Energetic players like Asleep and Moonlit practically lived at FTW. For no
other reason, but because they were helping Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle
fatten up their talent pool.
Moonlit’s talent pool couldn’t be considered wide, but it was enough to

train up Ning Zhehan. Little Ning was already very good at assassin mages,
so he improved very quickly when the two of them started soloing.
Asleep naturally couldn’t play ADC, but he had a very deep understanding
of thieves. What ADCs feared most was not the other side’s ADC, but the
other side’s jungler. After undergoing Asleep’s polishing, Yue Wenle’s
sense of survival at least doubled or tripled.
The seed teams for the 16 competition zones had already been announced.
The China competition zone team was FTW, North America was L&P,
South Korea was Pro, and Europe was Y1 and EVE.
The remaining finalist competition zones included MS, CL, CB, ST, LA,
CCL, PL, JL, VC, RU and CW (abbreviated competition zones).
They were all the champions from their various competition zones. Some
divisions, such as Latin America and Turkey, also had fans come over from
their home country, in anticipation of watching their games live.
On a hot summer’s day, the horn announcing the start of the global
competition sounded. Everyone was ready to go.
The investment daddies were everywhere. Although the competition

committee had provided equipment for the major teams, that was only the
foundation of the competition.
Many of those who wanted to find someone to endorse them in China had
gotten in touch with teams from various competition zones. Every time they
could get their logo put up meant that they would increase their exposure.
Although the schedule for the globals had been shortened, and many games
had been cut out, it was, in fact, a strategy to improve the game flow.
Elimination matches between 16 competition zones. Each game would be

wonderful, and each game had to be played with full effort.
The competition committee was trying to mobilize everyone’s expectations,

so that they would worry about their team even when they weren’t watching
them play.
Victory or defeat during other games would affect who their subsequent
opponents were!
For example, if the Team of Gods could be eliminated in the top eight, then
those haters would raise up their glasses in celebration.
The teams drew lots the day before the opening game, which was also the
day after the competition system changes were announced.
After the competition system was announced, Twitter and Facebook had
both exploded, and players from many teams directly opened up their mics,
flaming all the way up to the skies.
The domestic hot searches weren’t much different, but it was filled with
more delight and anticipation. It remained this way until a certain
competition zone’s seed team made vague hints at FTW.
IN.Otee: A certain team must have paid the competition committee off,
right? Could they have possibly been more biased?
Ironically, this message was sent out in Chinese, holding a strong

suggestive tone.
Could they stand it?
They definitely couldn’t stand it!
The majority of the players in the China competition zone passionately

turned on their mics.
That player had also gotten inspired, and he continued to trash talk, “It’s
obvious. They could’ve changed the competition system earlier or later, but
they just had to do it after the host competition zone was set…”
Many players from the other competition zones understood his words by
relying on translators, and they all came out to support him, “Close’s
strength is pretty good, but the competition zone is too weak. Why does the
global competition have to be held there this year? I don’t get it.”
“There must be money involved.”
“It must be for traffic.”
“As we all know, the population over there, ha ha…”
Having to communicate across languages wasn’t enough to stop this bloody

storm. Everyone was able to scold and curse at full steam by relying on
machine translation.
This player from IN was quite crazy, “FTW, start praying. Pray you don’t
draw IN for the top eight elimination games, because we will never show
mercy.”
The likes for this message actually broke through 10,000. The player from
IN grew even more enthusiastic and continued, “Since your China
competition zone is so badass, why don’t you live stream a training match?”
The domestic fans wanted to throw up.
Saying this while knowing that it was impossible to make a training match
appointment prior to the competition was simply disgusting behavior!
If FTW ignored it, then they would appear even more arrogant. If FTW paid
attention to it, then they would fall into the trap.
At this time, someone spoke up––
3U.Sleep: “Come fight.”
RR.Moonlit: “I won’t show you mercy either.”
TPT.Auroral: “Although FTW beat us with a zero sweep in the finals, it’ll
be easy for us to do the same for you.”
Asleep, Moonlit, Fu Li……
These star players who usually never made any sound online really stepped
up, causing the domestic fans to explode on the spot!
They’d originally felt wronged, felt like they were fighting alone. They’d
originally thought that they’d be fed sh*t by IN… but now they felt great!
The China competition zone was badass!
There was no fear!
You want to make an appointment for a training match with the competition
zone champion? Have you asked the top four yet?
Does FTW even need to make a move? The top four are already enough to
wake you up!
They’d really never thought that the China competition zone that had been
cowering for three years still contained teams that dared to step out, and
furthermore, there were even three of them…
IN’s mid-laner was a bit surprised by this.
The audience were just there to watch the show and weren’t afraid of
blowing things up. The foreign players who’d originally been ridiculing the
China competition zone also waved their flags and shouted, saying ‘fight,
fight, quickly fight’!
IN was just running their mouths. How could they really make an
appointment for a training match?
There were no benefits if they won, and it would be shameful if they lost.
Originally, IN had allowed Otee to shout at will, but now, he was ordered to
shut up, and they even sent out an official announcement.
They were all old players. Who didn’t understand this way of doing things?
They all sent out disdainful expression packs one after another, in all sorts
of styles.
Otee couldn’t help himself and spoke up again, “Why should I fight with
you guys? Are you trying to get our tactics before the game? Do you think
we’re stupid?”
What are you thinking? You guys are stupid!
The internet was noisy and bustling, but all of FTW was training in
isolation. Even their cell phones had been confiscated, and they ignored
everything that was going on outside.
Where would they have the time to worry about these things? Cherishing
every last minute was the real hard truth.
As the local team of the host competition zone, if FTW did a round trip in
the competition, the players would all drown in the saliva from being spat
on, okay?
The pressure increased as the start date approached.

Not to mention the three little ones, even Wei Xiao spoke less. Everyone
wanted to draw one day out into two days, and they didn’t dare waste a
single minute of it.
Chen Feng was afraid that their psychological burden would be too heavy,
which could affect their play. The closer they came to the opening game,
the less training he arranged for them.
He even prevented them from training on their own day and night.
“Just maintain things, it’s already very good.” These were words that the
poison-tongued Coach Chen Feng had been saying the most recently.
Tang Chen comforted him in private––Chen Feng, who was as gentle as the
spring breeze to the players, was a grumpy cannon who was online flaming
at people when he was in front of him.
Tang Chen scratched at his hair. “You shouldn’t be too nervous, either.”
As the sixth person on the field, how could Chen Feng not be nervous!
Three years…
A full three years…
How many thorns and bumps in the road had they gone through before
finally seeing the dawn? Saying that he wasn’t nervous would be a lie!
On the day that lots were drawn, everyone from FTW sat under the stage
and watched as Brother Tang used his big hand to draw their opponent.
Yes, even Chen Feng didn’t go up this time. It was God Tang who
represented the team.
He was very nervous and recited this mantra in his heart a hundred times,
“Don’t be Y1, don’t be EVE, don’t be Pro, don’t be L&P……”
When the results were announced, everyone held their breath out of fear
that they would be eaten alive by last year’s top four.
Who… who was it…
Which team was it!
It wasn’t just the whole FTW team. The entire China competition zone was
holding their breath.
The fans almost exploded the scrolling comments, “Help, I’m about to die
from nervousness.”
“If it’s the Team of Gods, I’ll show you guys what it looks like to die on the
spot!”
“Brother, me too.”
“Sister, me too.”
“Daddy, don’t scare me QAQ!”
As a result, countless eyes were fixed on the big screen when the results
were announced.
The lines in the table for the top 16 matches appeared on the screen one by
one. FTW was in the fifth row, and their opponent was…
“Holy sh*t!”
“IN???”
“Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road!”
“Congratulations to IN for getting the hammering they asked for.”
“Shit, if FTW loses to IN, I’m going to go blow up their base with
explosives on my back!”
“Impossible, impossible. FTW definitely won’t lose to IN.”

The passers-by who didn’t know what had happened all asked about it, and
fans smashed over a series of screenshots, which infuriated the whole
network.
Little Ning was clueless. “Team IN? Which competition zone…”
Yue Wenle: “CL.”
Bai Cai blinked. “What a coincidence…”
Wei Xiao looked at him, “What, do you know them?”
Bai Cai had handed over his own account to Brother Liu, but he still had his
Gossip Emperor account and was very clear on the first-hand news.
He paused for a moment, then snuck it out for Wei Xiao to see. Wei Xiao
hurriedly swept through it, then grinned. “Interesting.”
A sentence echoed in Brother Cai’s brain when he looked at him––your

smile is like that of a vicious dog’s.
After returning to the base, Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle also learned of the
storm that had swept through the internet.
Little Ning was burning with passion after seeing Asleep, Moonlit, and the
others speak up for them. “We’ll hammer them to death!”
Yue Wenle crunched, like he was biting down on IN’s throat. “3:0.”
Wei Xiao smiled like a fox. “Otee, right? He scolded the China competition
zone a total of 15 times. How about…” Taking down his dog head 15 times!
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Chen Feng: “……………………”

He’d racked his brains and ended up drawing all night. Coach Chen Feng
had tried his best to cheer up his players and had even lost several strands of
hair. Unexpectedly……
Their opponent had been so ‘generous’ that they’d sent over a morale
boosting gift bag in advance.
Everyone in FTW was now fired up and ready to fight.

Ch222 - The letter C printed on the
shadow thief’s scarlet cloak
belonged to Close.
Everyone in the club praised Brother Tang’s lucky hands. Brother Liu even
specifically asked the kitchen to make him his favorite seafood taco.
God Tang was flattered. “I just drew at random.”
Yes, but he’d gotten a big, passion-inspiring gift bag.
This time, Chen Feng didn’t scold the competition committee. Putting the
lot drawing session at the very end was quite good, since all they had to do
was fight when they saw their opponent. They could bring this kind of
mood straight into the competition!
The results of the draw affected both sides. Compared with FTW, who was
filled with fighting spirit, the whole of IN was disheartened seeing these
results.
It wasn’t that they were afraid of FTW––they hadn’t respected this fallen
Team of Gods from the start––they just felt that the situation was awkward.
Otee had been ridiculed by the crowd, and the club had spent a long time
telling him off. For better or worse, he was still in other people’s territory.
What was he bragging for? He should be wary of getting attacked by fans.
Only then had Otee stopped. The club figured that since there were 16
teams, they shouldn’t have the bad luck to draw FTW.
When FTW was eliminated by other teams, then the page would turn on
this chapter and it would end. Unexpectedly…
IN’s coach pulled Otee in for another round of telling him off. Otee had
been oppressed for several days and couldn’t suppress his own anger any
longer. He said furiously, “Just fight and be done with it! After we win
against FTW, everything Laozi said will be true!”
IN’s coach: “……”
Otee: “Is it even possible for us to lose to FTW? Other than Close, everyone
on that team is a noob. As long as we target Close until he dies, they’ll be
nothing but a load of crap.”
IN’s jungler Harper: “Their new jungler is very strong.”
“Yes, although Quiet is a newcomer, his strength can’t be that bad since
Close gave up his jungler position.”
“How strong can he be? This is the globals. Maybe he’ll be so scared he’ll
wet his pants as soon as he goes up!”
“And there’s the new system…”
“This new competition system has both advantages and disadvantages.

FTW will definitely take the shadow thief in the first match. There are only
a few line-ups that work with the shadow thief, and they’ll definitely lose as
long as we target them to death.”
IN’s coach didn’t interrupt, but he heard what was said very clearly.
Otee was a fellow with a grumpy temper, but his brain was still somewhat
useful.
The club had initially acquiesced by remaining silent when he first started
shouting online. Regardless of where the traffic came from, becoming
popular through hate was still a type of popularity.
It was just that they’d had the bad luck to draw FTW for their 16 into 8
game.
But it didn’t seem like such a big deal when thinking about it from another
angle…
As the host, FTW had attracted a lot of attention. If they were able to beat
FTW, they would be able to attract people’s attention even if they ultimately
fell in the 8 into 4 games.
See?
They’d only stirred up a round of hype with FTW, and there was already an
investor approaching them, testing the waters. If they really won against
FTW……
IN’s coach: “FTW will definitely take double shadow and double frost in
the first battle of freedom match. We…”
While they might say that they didn’t pay much attention to them, in actual
fact, they’d done quite a lot of homework on FTW. Double shadow meant
the death knight and shadow thief, and double frost was the ice mage and
frost hunter––this was FTW’s winning line-up and would likely be pulled
out in the first match’s battle of freedom.
After all, it was their first time facing the new competition system, so it was
reasonable to expect that FTW would come up with their most stable line-
up under circumstances where they didn’t have enough time to prepare.
And all they had to do was to use the remaining time to come up with the
right strategy as soon as possible.
The pros and cons of the competition system depended on how people
made use of it.
At first glance, it seemed to be beneficial for FTW, but if everyone knew

what they were going to use, then it also made them easy to target.
Of course, FTW, which had fallen into Fu Li’s trap a long time ago, had
already reworked their shadow thief line-up. But it was impossible for an
external team to know this.
A day passed by in the blink of an eye, and the summer global finals began.
There was no competition on the first day; there were only three opening
competitions and one performance competition. They were all
entertainment games, but the popularity for them was no lower than that of
the main competition. The arena could hold tens of thousands of people, but
obtaining a ticket was still difficult. FTW had special guest seats and came
in through the staff entrance, settling themselves in early.
Brother Cai took selfies like crazy, then worked hard to pick out one from
the dozens he’d snapped. He applied a set of filters, then calmly posted on
Weibo, “The venue’s very lively ^_^”.
The tone of his message was low-key and subtle, and his pose in the photo
looked natural and casual.
If one didn’t know that he’d been taking photos for 20 minutes, then they
really would believe in his ‘casualness’!
The fans had sharp eyes, and shrill screams rang out when they saw that
they were at the special guest seating.
“Ahhhhh, my FTW, represent!”
“Brother Cai, who did you come with? Is it our jungler king? Let me see,
hurry and let me see!” It came with a little penguin emoji.
Bai Cai: “Old Wei.”
Wei Xiao turned his head. “Hm?”
There was a click as Brother Cai successfully captured a shot.
Wei Xiao: “???”
Bai Cai: “Showing off some love.”

Bai Cai originally wanted to help Wei Xiao add filters to the photo, but as a
result… to hell with fixing it!
This brat had pale skin, a beautiful appearance, and long legs. It was an
inadvertent glance over, yet it already gave off the aura of a scum man who
could charm thousands of girls!
Brother Cai felt sour and decided not to be polite to Wei Xiao. He tossed it
up on Weibo directly and sent out a new post, “Your jungler king.”
Great, he was even more sour now. There were only 500 comments for his
selfie, but this new photo broke through 1000 comments almost instantly!
And he’d spent 20 minutes taking his own photo and 20 minutes editing it!
There was something on Wei Xiao’s mind, and his eyes kept floating
towards the stage.
Bai Cai certainly knew what he was thinking. “Take it easy, hey.”
Wei Xiao glared at him. “Heartless and uncaring.”
Brother Cai, who’d been focused on interacting with their fans, was left
speechless, “Wake up, you. Will our captain make mistakes?”
Wei Xiao’s mood was a mess. “The competition committee is too much.
The new competition system has been released for such a long time, why do
they have to play around with the old one? Don’t mess around if you can’t
afford to use it for the opening game!”
Bai Cai wasn’t worried at all. “Don’t worry, it’s fine. He’s Glory’s great
demon king.”
Wei Xiao’s tone was bad-tempered, “The captain hasn’t soloed in a long
time!”
Bai Cai put away his cell phone and comforted this irritable jungler king,
“Don’t you have any awareness of Old G’s level? Is there any need to be
like this.”
Wei Xiao: “Old G is very strong, okay?! He’s been wanting to bully the
captain for a long time now!”
Wei Xiao gritted his teeth. “Damn it, if Old G dares to bully the captain,
then I’ll go and kill him afterwards!”
Brother Cai was unable to coax him, so he bowed his head and continued
going through his Weibo––
They’d had over a week of special training, and he hadn’t touched his cell
phone much at all.
There was certainly a reason why Brother Cai and Wei Xiao were able to sit
in the special guest seating.
This was the opening event for the globals. Other than the participating
teams, others weren’t qualified to sit here.
Was FTW participating in the opening games?
Of course!
There were three opening games. One was 5v5, one was doubles, and the
last one was a singles game. All of them would be kicked off by the last
year’s champion and runner up.
The 5v5 game was between L&P and Y1, the doubles was between Kim
Sung-hyun and Li Heran against Asleep and Cong Yi, and the singles was
between Close and Gary.
Last year, Asleep and Cong Yi had only been in third place for the doubles,
but because one person from the runner-up team in the doubles retired last
year, they ceded their position, and Asleep and Cong Yi had come to take
part in the opening game.
Wei Xiao wasn’t concerned about anyone else. His heart and eyes were
filled with his own captain.
He’d kissed him several times before leaving. Lu Feng had held onto him
by the waist. “It’s all right.”
Wei Xiao: “Of course it’s all right. Nothing can possibly happen, absolutely
nothing!”
This tone… it was completely clear that something was up with him!
Lu Feng: “You don’t believe me?”
Wei Xiao was like a little kitten stamping its paws. He said immediately, “I
believe you!”
Lu Feng rubbed noses with him. “Then, what’s the panic for?”
Wei Xiao: “I’m not panicking!” It was just that his voice shook a little.
Lu Feng kissed his brow and said gently, “I’ll use the shadow thief.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng: “Don’t worry, I won’t die even once.”
Wei Xiao breathed in lightly, then hugged him tight. He rubbed forcefully
against his shoulder and neck, then murmured quietly.
Lu Feng’s heart softened when he heard him.
––I don’t dare imagine how it used to be for you.
Lu Feng fully understood this vague and ambiguous sentence.
Three years, three full years.
Lu Feng had stood alone in a strange arena, faced cheers from all over the
world, and won one singles championship after another.
The feeling of holding the trophy alone, he didn’t want to experience that
feeling again.
The trophy wasn’t heavy.
But it was better when it was held up by five people.
Wei Xiao couldn’t explain how he felt to anyone.
Nervous, flustered.
It was just an opening game, and the results didn’t matter. It was a singles
game, and it was Close.
What was there to be nervous about?
What was there to feel flustered about?
In Brother Cai’s words: “You’re simply being unreasonable!”
Yes, this kind of feeling was really unreasonable.
Nothing would happen, and it was a performance game where he wouldn’t

lose. Lu Feng had even promised that he wouldn’t even die once.
But…
He couldn’t keep his heart from pounding, couldn’t keep his legs and feet
from feeling restless, and he couldn’t control his rapid and chaotic
breathing.
Wei Xiao wouldn’t be this nervous even if he was the one in the arena.
But when he looked at Lu Feng on the stage and saw the lonely Lu Feng, he
grew nervous.
Was he afraid of Lu Feng losing?
Afraid of this myth collapsing?
Afraid of the end of a legend?

No…
He was just afraid that Lu Feng would be alone.
He was afraid of him feeling lonely.
The 5v5 game was naturally the finale. The first game was the singles.
The entire venue exploded when Close came out.
At the end of the day, it was a home game, and it was being held in China.
Close’s popularity was enough to stun the entire global audience.
He came out wearing the FTW team uniform. The dark black team uniform
was like the night sky that had absorbed all light. He maintained eternal
silence and coldness even under dazzling fireworks.
Fans shouted his name, and it was as though time had turned back to one
year ago, two years ago, three years ago…
It seemed like they’d gone back to the time when he’d kept watch over the
screen, staying up in the early hours of the morning despite the time
difference just to see him win the championship trophy.
The solo king.
The pillar of the China competition zone.
A brilliant legend under lofty Glory!
Wei Xiao’s eyes were red, and he clutched at the back of Brother Cai’s
hand.
Bai Cai sighed, and the tip of his nose stung.
Who wasn’t a Close fan?
Who hadn’t watched him hold up the beam for the whole competition zone?
Who didn’t want him to be brilliant forever?
Even the host’s voice sounded a little choked when the exclusive battle
song that belonged to the singles champion finished playing and it was time
to speak.
“Welcome Close, please take your seat.”
Lu Feng nodded slightly, then went to the competitor’s seat.
The moment he sat down, he connected his peripherals and put on his
headphones, isolating the stage from the canyon.
Gary also went to his seat. Both sides were ready.
There was a new competition system for the singles and doubles, but this
global opening game would continue with the old competition system.
When the long-lost single player canyon appeared on the screen, it felt like
an isolated world.
The new competition system had started with Close, and the old
competition system would end with Close.
The gears of fate kept moving forward, but it didn’t erase the past.
It would always be there.
The Glory that belonged to Close.
Because it was an exhibition game, the BP segment was cancelled.

Shocking, shrill screams sounded through the venue the moment the
audience saw Close take the shadow thief.
There were two shadow thief championship skins.
The first one was the shadow thief champion skin that Lu Feng had chosen
after the Team of Gods won the team championship three years ago.
The second one was the championship skin from last year’s singles
competition. Lu Feng had ended the competition with a shadow thief, so
he’d gotten another championship skin.
Two champion skins, all from the same player.
The letter C printed on the shadow thief’s scarlet cloak belonged to Close.
The author has something to say: Ying, who doesn’t love a great demon
king? [Wei Little Xiao’s dangerous glare]
Ch223 - The reborn King!
Close used the crimson blade skin, which was the skin from last year’s
singles championship.
Coincidentally, Gary had also taken the shadow thief, using the champion
skin from the Team of Gods three years ago.
One had a crimson cloak and was a lonely king.
One had a black hood and was a cold and quiet lone wolf.
The fans burst into tears again when both heroes landed in the canyon at the
same time.
The shadow thief of the present.
The shadow thief from the past.
Close, who was on his own.
Close, who was from the Team of Gods.
For The Win…
Exactly which Close was it?
The scrolling comments were boiling with activity, and the fans’ brain holes
were bigger than the heavens. This was especially the case for the CP fans
from the Team of Gods, who’d managed to abuse themselves with their
own brains.
“Why did Gary take this skin?”

“F*ck, I suspect that Old Dog Yuan did this on purpose!”
“Gary’s the one on the stage. What does this have to do with Old Bandit
Yuan?”
“Is there any doubt that Gary listens to Marshal?”
“If you don’t understand, then ask. What’s the point in Yuan Ze doing this
on purpose?”
“Deliberately having Gary take the shadow thief, then purposely having
him use the Team of Gods’ championship skin!”
“But what does that mean?”
Someone got it. “Damn it, is he trying to get Lulu to say goodbye to the
past?”
“Upstairs, talk if you want to, but why do you have to take out a knife?!”
“I’m broken, this old lady’s heart and liver has been stabbed to pieces!”
“No way, no way, my Scum Man Yuan would never be so gentle.”
However, many people remembered that in the Team of Gods three years
ago…
How many times had Close stayed up late to make up for lost time, while
Yuan Ze’s figure prepared and served coffee or tea?
The new singles competition mode had already been online for a long time.
Players had already fully adapted to the terrain of Sky Island and were also
interested in this survival mode. Recently, a ranking competition had also
been launched, and the players were all participating enthusiastically.
Now, it felt strange seeing this long-lost, slender canyon again.
This was the singles competition from the past. It was the old lane fighting
mode, and it was a singles competition that required maneuvers,
development, and the talent to find the right opportunity in order to show
off one’s ability.
The commentators had already begun to speak. The invited guest

commentator smiled and said, “It’s the singles competition that hasn’t been
seen in a long time, and Close, who also hasn’t been seen in a long time.”
Commentator Brother Mouth: “In the team competition, Close is primarily

on the top lane. It’s true that I haven’t seen him take the shadow thief in a
long time.”
“I wonder if he’ll be unused to it?”
“That’s really hard to say. I’ve heard that Gary has been constantly
practicing with the shadow thief recently, and it seems that he wants to use
it in the battle of freedom.”
“Gary’s eight light arcs are steady…”
“Reasonably speaking, eight light arcs are already enough; the damage from
nine light arcs is overkill.”
“But the difference in attack range is significant.”
“Then it depends on the player’s positioning.”
“Nine light arcs depends on the player’s state. If it’s not used often, then
I’m afraid…”
Brother Mouth was a Close fan, the kind where he’d clearly stamped
himself with the label.
This back and forth between him and the guest commentator seemed
standard, but in fact, everyone who was familiar with him could sense his
nervousness.
Between the lines of the conversation was respect for the great demon king,
the details of which were: Close has been playing the top-lane recently and
hadn’t used the shadow thief in a long time! If he can’t brush out nine light
arcs, then it’s only because he’s unused to using the hero now! If he loses, it
doesn’t mean anything!
Um…
Wei Xiao grew even more nervous when he heard this!
The live audience was nervous as well. The exception were the haters, who
didn’t say another word before starting their celebrations, uncaring of
whether or not they would end up being slapped in the face. They would
raise up the flag first, and if it ended up toppling over and stabbing them
through, they could worry about thatlater.
“I get it, Close can’t brush out nine light arcs anymore.”
“Why even talk about light arcs? Does your God Lu even remember the
shadow thief skills?”
“Old G, hold back a bit, okay? If you beat Close until he cries, you might
get blocked by Close fans at the entrance to the arena.”
There was no need for the live broadcast room managers to start banning
people, because the haters all disappeared after 30 seconds.
All concerns became unnecessary, and all questioning became unnecessary.
In the face of Close’s absolute power, there was only the papapa sound of
face slapping.
30 seconds into the start of the game, the second wave of lane soldiers
hadn’t yet arrived at their destination when the shadow thief dressed in
crimson made a sudden attack and reached level 2 ahead of Gary. He used a
back stab, his attack landing accurately and sparking off a critical hit,
causing Gary to lose half of his health bar by the time he was able to react!
The commentators exploded, “It’s Close’s signature blood stab!”
“Even Gary can’t escape it. Close might be old, but he’s just as vigorous as
ever!”
Wei Little Xiao, who’d just let out a breath of relief, grew unhappy when he
heard this sentence. He complained quietly to Bai Cai, “Do they know how
to speak? My captain’s only 21, what do they mean, old?!”
There was no need to answer. This little lunatic wouldn’t listen if he said
anything, anyway. His eyes were practically glued onto the stage.
Although it was an exhibition game, the organizers were rich and generous
and had transformed it into a holographic projection. There was no need to
describe the joy of seeing the fight in 3D with the naked eye.
The fighting between the two handsome heroes provided tens of thousands
of people with a vivid visual experience.
It wasn’t just visuals, but also the sound.
The shadow thief’s skills were relatively low-key prior to level 6, and there
were no amazing special effects, but Close and Gary stunned the audience
with their extraordinary positioning and micro-manipulation.
They controlled the lane, snatching soldiers.
Waiting, followed by a sudden strike.
The close combat fighting made everyone’s blood boil!
Both sides knew each other very well and didn’t hold back right from the
start.
There was no need to test things out, no need to circle around each other.
They focused on any flaws that were revealed and immediately went for
blood.
“It’s not clear without comparing things, but it’s shocking once you
compare them.”
“I’ve seen Gary’s live broadcast before, and his shadow thief really is very
strong.”
“But in front of Close… it’s like a bronze player meeting a king.”
“FTW’s inherited shadow thief didn’t come from exaggeration!”
“The great demon king’s badass!”
“Great demon king, snatch up First Blood!”
It was like he’d heard the cry from the fans. The shadow thief’s crimson
blade flickered, and after breaking through the defence of Gary’s shadow
thief, he turned back and stabbed the other side!
Rend and bleed, triggering another critical hit!
The commentator spoke at an amazing speed, “Is it a back stab from that
angle?”
“Although it’s a sideways waist stab, the system judges it to be from the
back!”
“This is too tricky. It’s likely that Gary didn’t expect that, either. Although
he lost his shadow attack, there was still room for him to shift. Based on his
hp just now, he would’ve been able to survive as long as he avoided a
critical hit!”
“Unfortunately, Close triggered a critical hit right at the range’s upper limit,
causing the damage to double. Gary’s death is guaranteed.”
First Blood!
Close took an unquestionable First Blood.
In the old competition system, the game wouldn’t end once one side died. A
player needed to blow up the other side’s crystal in order to win a singles
game under the old system.
Gary resurrected quickly, and the battle wasn’t over yet.
At the end of the day, Old G was still a top global player. He was able to
adjust quickly, and managed to keep up in farm despite being sent to a
quick death. He stopped trying to fight head-on with Close and instead tried
to seize an opportunity to attack from the sides, wanting to catch Close off
guard.
Upon seeing this scene, even Brother Cai could figure out the ending. “His
win is stable.”
Wei Xiao was still sitting up straight, his back so stiff as though someone
was pointing a gun at him.
Bai Cai: “Relax, he can’t lose.”
Wei Xiao: “He can’t die.”
Bai Cai: “???”
Wei Xiao stared at the two men in the canyon. “The captain promised me
that he wouldn’t die a single time.”
Bai Cai: “………………”
The old competition system wouldn’t eliminate a player after their death, so
dying once didn’t matter. If they strategized well, then they could even turn
the tables after dying three times.
This sentence from Wei Xiao…
Although Close’s death rate in the singles was very low, it couldn’t be
guaranteed…
Brother Cai: “Isn’t this just adding pressure to yourself for no reason?”
What had originally started off as simple mode had now become hell mode.
Wei Xiao grew even more nervous.

Bai Cai didn’t dare to continue talking. He was now a little nervous, too.
He had a vague sense of Wei Xiao’s mood.
The last singles competition.
The last global singles duel in the old competition system.
This perfect performance given by Close would become a part of Glory’s

history, forever.
No one would be able to surpass him anymore––
––Because the old competition system would begone.
The game progressed to 12 minutes at which the most exciting wave of

fights began.
Gary had remained watchful but dormant for a long time and had finally
found an opportunity. He took the initiative to attack, stacking up his
damage one second before Close.
He made use of the small lane soldiers, made use of the bushes to block
vision, and had even stacked up his equipment for attack speed…
Everyone’s heart leapt up to their throats. “The great demon king won’t be
able to run from this!”
Wei Xiao held the armrests of his chair in a death grip, his pale finger joints
bulging and white, the green veins growing more and more obvious under
the paleness of his skin.
Brother Cai was nervous enough to explode. “This, this…”
He wanted to rush into the canyon and give the captain a bunch of heals!
His support instincts were breaking out, okay?!

Just when everyone thought that Close was doomed and Gary was sure to
get even…
Lu Feng’s operations were dazzling to the eyes. They all stared at the
holographic projection that would amplify all mistakes, but the shadow
thief in the crimson cloak didn’t make any mistakes at all.
He was precise, operating at the limit, and extremely fast.
Even Gary was shocked by his actions, and his character clearly froze for a
fraction of a second.
Lu Feng seized this opportunity and used a shadow attack to move

sideways, avoiding Gary’s mark.
It was broken!
Gary lost a layer of marks!
Now, he could either continue to accumulate energy and brush out eight
light arcs or give up and release seven light arcs immediately.
But the problem was…
Seven light arcs wasn’t enough to break through the invincibility effect
provided by the equipment. Only the overflow damage dealt by anything
above eight arcs would be able to penetrate before the invincibility effect
ended and disappeared. At the same time, doubling the damage would be
enough to kill Close.
Gary was riding a tiger and couldn’t get off, but Close wasn’t about to wait
for him.
Gary’s eight light arcs were gone, while Close’s nine light arcs fell from the
sky.
“F*ck!” Even the salted fish vegetable was excited.

Wei Xiao didn’t speak. He stared at the holographic projection, at the calm
and silent man behind the projection, and his heart beat very quickly.
The light arcs covered the sky, and gorgeous special effects seemed to rain
down light on the entire venue.
The audience screamed non-stop, their passion inspired by this exciting

battle. They’d also been amazed by these gorgeous special effects.
At this moment, everyone was bathed in glory!
Victory.
Close won without dying a single time!
Loud cheering rang out when he took off his headphones.
Extended, non-stop applause, heart-rending, gut-wrenching shrill cries…
The live broadcast studio was filled with Close’s glory…
The global audience watching online were all stunned.
It wasn’t that they didn’t know of Close, and it wasn’t that they didn’t
understand why the China competition zone couldn’t remain calm. It was
because they were still shocked by the feelings and emotions that had
charged up in such a rush.
The persistence of the players.
The persistence of the fans.
They had become each other’s faith since a long time ago.
Lu Feng got up and bowed to all the applause.
On the holographic projection, the lone wolf from three years ago
disappeared, and the king who’d been reborn was left standing on the stage.
He stood tall amidst the splendor and looked towards the warmth up ahead.
Lu Feng’s gaze landed on Wei Xiao’s position.
He couldn’t see Wei Xiao in the darkness, but he could sense him.
Like the scorching sun shining in the sky, giving off infinite glory.
He was there.
Tears burst from his eyes. Wei Xiao knew that the camera was coming, but
he couldn’t hold back his tears at all.
Fortunately, Bai Cai was crying even harder than he was.
When the director shifted the cameras over and showed these two big boys
crying like this, the scrolling comments that had blown up the screen
changed focus, from ‘Close is badass’, to ‘FTW is badass’.
It was no longer just Close.
It was really no longer just Close.
The perfect ending for the past was now the best note with which to start up
a new movement!

Ch224 - Wei Xiao: Before I met
you, I treated each word like gold.
Chapter 224
Wei Xiao and Bai Cai went to the backstage lounge to meet up with Lu
Feng, who’d just gotten off the arena stage.
Wei Xiao rushed over to hug Lu Feng despite the staff members around
them.
Fortunately, everyone was so excited that they didn’t think too much of it;
they were just very moved by his actions. They felt that the mood within
FTW was really good and that there were sincere and enthusiastic feelings
among the players of the team.
Brother Cai shivered, then accepted the things that had to be dealt with
from the staff members’ hands before hurriedly closing the door.
Although there was no one else in the lounge, Wei Xiao still didn’t dare to
kiss Lu Feng.
There was still surveillance!
No matter how excited he was, Wei Xiao was still cautious about such
things.
It was one thing for fans to ship CPs and faint over them, but coming out of
the closet was something else entirely.
Wei Xiao wouldn’t joke around with Lu Feng’s future.
Lu Feng noticed his red and swollen eyes, and his voice was warm when he
spoke, “It’s just an exhibition game.”
Wei Xiao shook his head. “It’s the last singles game.”
Lu Feng understood what he meant.
This was indeed the last singles game. There was no trophy for it and no
bonus either, but it belonged to the last singles game of the old era.
The crimson blood blade had defeated the nightmare of god (skin names).
Close had conquered his old self.
The missing goodbye from three years ago had finally been made up for.
Only by saying farewell and putting down the past could one lighten up and
win the future!
Wei Xiao wasn’t the type who put on affectations. He’d already cried, and
he’d already gotten excited. What was left now was only excitement.
“I have to say, Captain, you were too handsome just now!”
Brother Cai: “……” He really wanted to take the camera with him and
sneak out!
Lu Feng smiled.
Wei Xiao was unable to stop his rainbow farts. As soon as his rainbow fart
switch was turned on, it would put even commentator Brother Mouth to
shame.
It was super professional, super awesome, and held thorough analysis. It

even…
Gary, who was in the other backstage lounge, sneezed. “I suspect that Little
Lunatic Q is cursing me.”
Yuan Ze: “Don’t be silly, get rid of the ‘suspect’ part.”
Gary: “…………”
They were both singles competition players, but why was the difference in
treatment so big after they returned backstage!
It was bad enough that there was no one to coax him after he lost the game,
but he even had to face his captain’s howling storm.
Old G felt bitterness in his heart!
In fact, Gary was also quite regretful. Although he knew he couldn’t win, it
was difficult to reconcile himself to this loss.
This really wasn’t a simple performance game; it also meant a lot to him.
This year’s singles competition still followed the old rules where each team
could only register one player, while the regional competition had been
cancelled, and singles competition would be held directly on a global scale.
Yuan Ze had signed up for this year’s singles competition, and Old G had
been willing to give up his quota. Although Yuan Ze had also signed up for
the doubles competition with him, this meant that Gary was doomed to miss
the singles competition this year.
This opening match was his first and last singles game today, and he’d lost
like that…
Yuan Ze patted him on the forehead. “Your big brother will avenge you.”
Old G’s heart felt warm.
Alright then!
His skills were inferior and he deserved to lose, but the captain would
definitely screw over Close.
Gary cheered up again!
Seeing that Wei Xiao was about to continue on until he’d blown out a ten
thousand word rainbow fart and break his own records, Bai Cai interjected
quietly, “The doubles competition seems to have started…”
Wei Xiao: “What’s so good about the doubles game? The captain’s game
just now was the definition of wonderful…”
Lu Feng was helpless against him. “Did you run out of composition paper
while studying?”
Wei Xiao: “??”
Lu Feng laughed at him, “With such a large vocabulary, is 800 words

enough?”
Wei Xiao smiled until his eyes curved, speaking in a low voice, “Before I
met you, I treated each word like gold.”
The surveillance was unable to catch sound, but Brother Cai was able to
hear it!
Caicai, who’d just been forcibly choked with a belly full of dog food, just
wanted to make a break for the door.
For better or worse, they finally made it to the audience stands.
The doubles opening game still had to be watched. Kim Sung-hyun and Li
Heran were old acquaintances, and Asleep and Cong Yi were fellow
brothers. Regardless of whether it was from the perspective of learning or
supporting their brothers, both reasons meant that they should watch the
game.
When they sat down, there was an extra Li Chun beside them.
Li Chun was nervous and anxious and couldn’t sit still.
Wei Xiao: “What are you flustered for? It’s an opening game, an
entertainment match.”
Li Chun had been helping out backstage and hadn’t watched the singles, so
he really didn’t know that Wei Xiao had been more flustered than he was.
Li Chun: “The captain and vice-captain have to play well!”

Wei Xiao was calm. “Don’t worry.”
Li Chun sighed. “When will I be able to have a heart as big as Brother

Xiao?”
He was very sincere when he said this. He’d known Wei Xiao for so long,
and they’d played together through a whole season. He’d never seen Wei
Xiao in a panic or acting nervous.
The skin on Wei Xiao’s face was as thick as city walls. “You’ll get used to it
with more experience.”
Li Chun nodded, having been thoroughly fooled.
Even if he was sitting on the other side next to their captain, Brother Cai
could still hear the conversation clearly. He rolled his eyes: Be a little less
shameless, Wei Xiao. Do you really think that no one will watch the
recording from the last game? You cried like a fool, yet you still feel like
you can teach others life lessons!
Because they’d delayed for a while backstage, the doubles teams had
already gone up on stage and had even finished selecting their talents.
Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran were obviously in entertainment mode. They

took out the bird hunter and soul warlock talents that had just been released
recently for the game.
Kim Sung-hyun was using the bird hunter, and Li Heran used the soul
warlock.
These two talents were quite interesting. There had been a video release
about them with the newly launched expansion.
The bird hunter and soul warlock were brothers who’d grown up together.
They were both beloved by nature; one could communicate with birds,
while the other could link up with all living things and feel the power of
their souls.
In the expansion film, they weren’t of the human race, but had gradually
gained human form and humanity after coming into contact with human
beings.
They weren’t of the demon family but were set as part of the spirit family
instead.
The bird hunter was the first to come into contact with humans. He knew a
pet bird who begged him to help its owner.
The bird hunter loved all birds and couldn’t bear to see them cry, so he tried
to save the seriously injured man.
When the man opened his eyes, he was almost shocked all the way to
heaven by the bird hunter he saw in front of him,
The bird hunter had no fixed form and would appear in a form based on the
other party’s expectations.
The rescued man saw an angel.
The bird hunter was in contact with birds all year round, and he was naive
and simple. He had absolutely no understanding of human greed and
ambition.
The man soon saw through him and became interested in the bird hunter’s
power, wanting to use him to regain his own power.
The bird hunter didn’t care about this human being, but he couldn’t resist
the bird’s crying and could only help him again and again.
Eavesdropping, surveillance, and seizing power.
The bird hunter slowly gained a human body and took on human colors.
The feathers on his forehead changed from pure white to a dark gray, and
his eyes changed from a nearly transparent silver to a dark black.
By the time the soul warlock found him again, he almost couldn’t recognize
him.
Greed, ambition, desire.
By the time the bird hunter came to realize the truth, he was already sitting
on a lonely throne, with blood flowing under it like a river.
He’d lost his ability to communicate with birds, lost his ability to
domesticate birds, and also lost his extraordinary vision and insight.
He’d been reduced to an ordinary human being.
And the man whose life he’d saved stabbed him through the chest.
The bird hunter looked at him in shock. “Why?”
The man: “Because you deserve to die!”
His throne, his country, and his subjects had all been taken away by this
devil!
When the bird hunter woke up, the soul warlock was attached to his filthy
body.
The bird hunter: “I……”
The soul warlock’s voice was ethereal, “One person’s evil is two people’s
burden. Mother will once again regard you tenderly.”
Their mother was nature. They were children who’d been abandoned by
nature.
The bird hunter was tortured. “You didn’t do anything wrong. Why did
you…” Bear this sin for me.
The soul warlock: “Because we’re in this together.”
From birth, all the way through growing up. They’d been together like this
for thousands of years.
The blood stained bird hunter still had a pure soul.

After all, they had never really been human.
As soon as the expansion video was released, the fans were instantly stirred
up and rushed to the canyon to try out the new talents.
However, once they tried it…
Forget it, forget it, what kind of skills did this bird hunter require!
It was bad enough that it had two forms, but all eight skills had two stages.
How could ordinary players understand it?
Even professional players had to familiarize themselves with it for a long

time before being able to feel out some potential combos.
The talent had only just come out, and many of them were still waiting for
further development and research. The R&D departments belonging to the
various clubs were scurrying around analyzing the talents intensively.
For example, when the shadow thief first came out, no one had known that
it was possible to brush out nine light arcs.
The soul warlock was relatively simpler in comparison. They just had to
start up the ultimate move and attach themselves to someone else.
Attaching themselves to a team member would strengthen various stats. It

was a very powerful support talent.
At first, players had thought that it was a simple and easy to use talent that
could just lie around waiting to be carried to victory. Unexpectedly, the
upper limit for this talent was amazing when used by high-level players!
The attachment came with a symbiosis mode. Once symbiosis was turned
on, the player could use the talent skills of the player they were attached to
at the same time. That meant… the soul warlock could use the bird hunter’s
skills!
Although the power of the skills was reduced by 50%, it was still
sufficiently overwhelming. When it was used well, it was like a f*cking
math problem where 1+1=3!
Coincidentally, Cong Yi had also taken the soul warlock, while Asleep had
taken the berserker thief.
Wei Xiao said to Brother Cai, “You deserve to have a soul warlock too.”
The hair on Brother Cai’s body stood on end, “!”
Wei Xiao: “When we go back, I’ll use the shadow thief, and you can attach
to me. Using two shadow thieves in the arena, wouldn’t that be cool?”
Brother Cai wanted to shout for help, “To-to hell with two. I can’t even
brush out a single light arc…”
Wei Xiao regarded him with disdain. “Dream a little.”
The salted fish vegetable’s dream was to be a salted fish vegetable!
This doubles game was interesting.
Kim Sung-hyun’s bird hunter accompanied by Li Heran and Cong Yi’s soul
warlocks. The audience was in high spirits as soon as they saw the new
talents come out.
Who cared about who won or who lost? They’d first open their eyes and
expand their horizons!
The new talents didn’t have any advanced skins and only had some
associated skins, which were basically similar to the original skin with
different colors.
This was a major feature in Glory. Releasing new talents prior to the global
competition meant that they were waiting for the contestants to win with the
new talents in order to give them new skins!
The bird hunter’s original skin was very valiant. When in spirit form, the
feathers on his head were a clean, pure white, and his skin color was also
very pale. He had a body like an elf and wore light colored clothing.
Although he didn’t have wings, he was able to rise up and float in the air.
He had no weapons and relied on thousands of birds to execute all his skills.
The special effects for his ultimate move, ‘Birds Paying Homage to the
Phoenix’, were stunning and beautiful.
The soul warlock couldn’t use attachment until level six. He had a silent
character, and although he had the dark hair and gray eyes that represented
the demon family, he displayed a sense of tranquility and harmony. He
seemed separate from all the earthly matters, looking far into the distance.
He had a quiet temperament and held compassion for all mankind.
Wei Xiao spoke up abruptly, “What a pity.”
Lu Feng turned to ask, “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “It’s a pity that I wasn’t invited to join the casual player
competition.”
After the three opening games came a casual player game. The so-called
casual player game involved selecting lucky players to compete with
professional players. It was a 5v5 game.
There were six professional players who’d been selected through votes
submitted by the players, and they were: Close, Yan Jiang, Yuan Ze, Xie
He, Kim Sung-hyun, and Gary.
The remaining four spots in the teams would be filled by players who were
selected at random from the live audience, forming two teams for a 5v5
game.
Wei Xiao: “If I could participate, I would use the soul warlock and use
attachment on my captain!”
The real double shadow thief, give a try!
Brother Cai mused out loud, “Maybe you’ll get drawn?”

Wei Xiao: “!”
Brother Cai: “There are also number plates for the special guest seating.
You still have hope.”
Even if it was a one in several ten thousand chance.
Wei Xiao came back to his senses and quickly handed his seat number to
Brother Cai. “Hold it!”
Bai Cai: “???”
Wei Xiao stared at him. “If I don’t win, then you need to quickly return
Money’s Porsche!”
The white cabbage had a shocked expression on his face. “Why!”
What did this have to do with his Porsche!
Wait, what did this have to do with him at all? Why did he have to take Wei
Xiao’s seat number?
Wei Xiao watched him affectionately. If the director had cut the camera
over to them at this moment in time, then the Little Bai (Xiao Bai) CP
sisters would spiral up into the sky in joy.
So sweet, so sweet, it was definitely real sugar!
However, reality was cruel. This sugar was so fake it couldn’t be any more
fake. “Whether or not I can fly doubles with the captain is all up to you.”
Bai Cai finally understood what he meant. “You……”
Wei Xiao: “God Bai, you can do it!”
He was even calling him God. Wei Little Xiao was being very serious.
Bai Cai didn’t dare to give him his seat number back, but he was also
growing nervous. “Luck is a very metaphysical thing. It’s a one in tens of
thousands of a chance. I…”
Wei Xiao: “You won a one in a million chance draw for a Porsche!”
Damn it, he was riding a tiger, and it was impossible to get off!
Ch225 - Please type out 'Brother
Cai is badass' on the scrolling
comments!
Wei Xiao comforted him (don’t ask, Brother Cai doesn’t know why it
became him being the one getting comforted, either), “There’s still the
doubles and the 5v5, which’ll take at least an hour and a half. Take my seat
number and work hard on it. I believe in you.”
To hell with working hard on it! He was getting even more nervous!
Lu Feng said quietly, “Watch the game.”
The two of them had whispered for so long that the vinegar king had gotten
jealous.
Wei Xiao gave Brother Cai a firm look, then shifted slightly closer to Lu
Feng and carefully watched the game.
A fight had already broken out in the canyon while they were talking.
The doubles competition map was wider than the singles competition one,
and it also held two jungle zones. Although it was still smaller than the 5v5
map, it left a lot more room to maneuver compared with the singles
competition canyon.
Asleep had taken the berserker thief. The berserker thief had obvious
advantages, one being that it could clear the jungle zone quickly, and he
made it to the lane one step faster, applying pressure on Kim Sung-hyun’s
wave of lane soldiers before quickly slipping into the other party’s jungle
zone.
Taking a marksman in the doubles game led to disadvantages in the early

stages because marksmen were a bit slower when it came to killing creeps
(even with the game system bonus, it was still a lot less efficient when
compared with a professional jungler king). Even if it was only a few
seconds slower, it still created a small gap in pace.
Asleep was famous as a player who could take control of the rhythm of the
game. How could he pass up on such an opportunity?
He snatched up farm, pressured the lane, and rushed into the top jungle
zone, locking in on the bird hunter.
Kim Sung-hyun used the bird hunter beautifully. It had clearly only been
released for a few days, but he was already very skilled at using its skills,
and the way he linked them up was commendable. He’d also maximized the
strengthening of his basic attacks, but he was still low levelled and lacked
two skills, which meant he couldn’t make too many combos.
The director focused the camera on the bird hunter often: An elegant spirit
with holy feathers and sweetly trilling birds was very pleasing to the eyes of
the investment daddies when it was put up on the holographic projection.
His weapon were birds that had been transformed with spiritual power.
There were ferocious birds of prey and delicate kingfishers… they turned
into spiritual blades and seemed to emanate beautiful music when he
attacked.
The audience tsked, “The berserker thief’s darkness system and the flying
birds seem to inexplicably match up.”
“Have you seen that expansion video? The human prince who deceived the
bird hunter… doesn’t it seem like the berserker thief?”
“Ah… that ambitious fellow who stabbed the hand that fed him?”
“Hugging and taking away the berserker thief, my little berserker is very
sweet and isn’t that kind of guy with a wolf’s heart and dog’s lungs.”
“But this love triangle is a little tempting…”
“The scythe’s locked onto the bird hunter!”
The berserker thief had no vision on the bird hunter, but he’d judged where
the bird hunter would be based on the distribution of jungle creeps. When
he cast out his scythe, it was more of a tentative probe, but he’d actually
locked onto the bird hunter.
“No way, I can’t stop my brain from imagining this. My simple and clean
bird hunter was bound by that ambitious heart just like this.”
“Begging for more of that forbidden play!”
“Get lost, cults, ahhhhh, the bird hunter belongs to the soul warlock! The
berserker thief is the berserker warrior’s!”
“One second, just let me ship them for one very long second, hey.”
The emphasis on entertainment for this entertainment game was quite

substantial, so the audience in the scrolling comments weren’t paying as
much attention to who would win or lose. They were more focused on the
showcase of the new talents and gossiping away.
But the players in the canyon were very serious.
The bird hunter had been locked in, and the berserker thief dropped down
from the sky.
Kim Sung-hyun lived up to his reputation as a thief killer and calmly tossed
out his control skills, locking the berserker thief in place and instantly
pulling away.
A bird hunter that hadn’t yet reached level six couldn’t deal much damage,
but the berserker thief could tear out the other party’s throat without
reaching level six.
Asleep didn’t say a word and used a combo with his assault, using one
blade after another to chip away the bird hunter’s health.
It wasn’t possible for an early-stage marksman to win against a thief with

basic attacks.
Just as Kim Sung-hyun was about to fall, a soul blade slashed out twice and
attacked the berserker thief.
Li Heran had rushed over!
A heal landed on Kim Sung-hyun’s head, and the seriously injured Kim
Sung-hyun’s health instantly recovered!
The strength of the number one marksman in Glory revealed itself here.
When an ordinary ADC encountered thieves, they could only run away in a
panic. Not only did Kim Sung-hyun not run away, he also raced against
time to trade attacks with the other party.
If it was only just trading health, then it was impossible for him to win.
Even if he could beat Asleep into half health, he would have already been
sent back to the resurrection fountain.
But he had a teammate.
At the moment when Li Heran hit the berserker thief and gave him a heal,
Kim Sung-hyun had already begun to deal DPS like crazy.
There was no need to hide, no need to escape.
If the thief didn’t die, then how could the hunter live?
Asleep’s health plummeted. Once there was distance between a melee talent
and their target, it became very easy for the long-range talent to kite them.
In particular, Kim Sung-hyun had also saved his strengthened basic attack.
This wave of counter attacking beat up the berserker thief, who’d already
been at half health, until his head was covered in bumps and bruises.
Fortunately, Brother Sleep had a support as well. Cong Yi had arrived a

little late, but he’d managed to escort the soldier lane all the way to the
other side’s tower. It was very much worth it.
It was the same attack and heal, the same talent and technique that Cong Yi
used to protect Asleep.
The two teams faced each other head-on, and the live broadcast room
exploded.
“What is this!”
“Childhood sweetheart vs childhood sweetheart?”
“You might have a big brother, but so do I?”
“Holy shit, I can ship two childhood sweethearts at the same time! It’s
really getting to me!”
“The key point is that the big brothers are both using soul warlocks
ahhhhh.”
“It’s over, it’s over, I now have a filter over my vision. I now feel like the
soul warlock is super handsome, who knows how to play? Let’s get
married!”
There were many who were busy shipping, and there were also many
people who were paying attention to the details of their operations.
The technical fans brushed out even more scrolling comments, “Not bad,
Brother Sleep’s wave of operations here is very amazing.”
“Kim Sung-hyun’s marksman is really at the textbook level. I suggest that

our domestic Eurostar and Yue Wenle take notes.”
“It’s not just Asleep, Cong Yi is very stable, too. Their operation strategies
are clear, and their positioning is timely and accurate. Don’t underestimate
that attack and heal. They were all launched from the furthest range;
otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to save the seriously injured
Asleep.”
“Not bad, this year’s global doubles will be good!”
“I remember Close and Quiet signed up, too?”
“Those two…”
“Those two can’t fight in the old competition system, but they’ll definitely
fight against heaven and earth in the new competition system.”
“One great demon king, and one little lunatic, landing on Sky Island and
starting up slaughter mode. F*ck, this is absolutely worth looking forward
to!”
In fact, the global scrolling comments were quite normal. After all, Asleep
and Cong Yi were star players in their competition zone. Everyone knew
them very well, and they knew their strength, so they weren’t surprised
seeing them play like this.
Some fans had even started a betting pool, hoping that Asleep and Cong Yi
would win.
There really was hope for that. Firstly, there were their natural advantages.
Second, Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran weren’t playing seriously. As soon
as they took out those talents, everyone understood that they were here to
entertain everyone and relax.
If they were psychologically relaxed, then they might really get swept away
by Asleep, who had a belly full of fire from having been sent out of the
running for the globals during the domestic semi-finals.
The domestic scene was filled with joy, while the foreign broadcast studios
followed another style.
“This ID looks a bit familiar.”
“3U.Sleep? Isn’t it that Chinese player who replied to IN.Otee previously?

He has a temper.”
“How’s his strength?”
“It should be pretty good. His team came in third place in the global
doubles last year.”
“Ha. How good can they be if they didn’t even make it into the finals?”
“Come and take a look. Let’s see if this level of play is just empty talk.”
“Seriously, although the China competition zone is very united, other than
FTW, it’s quite difficult for them to win against IN…”
“He killed Kim Sung-hyun!”
Unfortunately, the majority of the domestic fans didn’t know what the
situation was like abroad. Otherwise, if they knew, they would make use of
XX translation to go and give them a good summary of the facts.
What do you mean, it would be difficult for teams other than FTW to win
against IN?
Like hell it’s hard!
Which of the top four teams in China hadn’t fought life or death struggles
with FTW?
TPT, RR, and even 3U had also played quite a few training matches against
the Team of Gods.
Although these achievements hadn’t been made public, the fact that they
could make appointments for one training match after another meant that
their level was definitely recognized. Otherwise, who would agree to
practice with noobs!
Fortunately, Brother Sleep’s stunning performance and the momentum he
displayed during the entertainment game, along with his operation and
consciousness, showed the world his absolute, peak strength!
When they reached the middle stage of the game, Kim Sung-hyun started to
grow serious. Unfortunately, he’d been suppressed too much in the early
stages, and the difference in farm was a bit too big. Additionally, he wasn’t
completely familiar with the bird hunter and still had to fumble around.
Finally, Cong Yi killed Kim Sung-hyun, and Li Heran’s life was taken away
by Asleep. 3U won the doubles entertainment game!
The game was very fun to watch.
Kim Sung-hyun’s bird hunter was really interesting to watch; the spirit
figure was elegant and ethereal, and its depraved form was ruthless and
cold. The ultimate move ‘Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix’ lived up to
the efforts of the balding development team with special effects that were
enough to make people’s livers explode!
Li Heran and Cong Yi’s soul warlocks were also played in very insightful
ways.
What was more remarkable was that they used different play styles.
Li Heran was attached to a bird hunter. This official partnership was superb,
and there was no need to mention that Li Heran once used to be Glory’s top
marksman. He was very quick at picking up the bird hunter skills, and his
control over his actions was invincible after he attached himself. He and
Kim Sung-hyun were like twins, complementing each other with amazing
tacit understanding.
Cong Yi was attached to a berserker thief. They had forcibly played out a
new routine and developed this unexpected double berserker thief method
in such a short time. 3U was badass!
At the end of the doubles game, Li Chun let out a huge breath of relief.
“Did we win?”
He turned his head and stared at Brother Cai.
Bai Cai: “……………”
Don’t f*cking expect so much, Laozi’s nervous enough to explode!
Wei Xiao spoke darkly, “There’s still a 5v5 game.”
Bai Cai: “If I’m unlucky…”
Wei Xiao: “I’ll perform ripping apart white cabbage by hand on the spot.”
White Cabbage: “…………” Can you f*cking act human!
The 5v5 opening game was the grand finale. Even without mentioning how
the game went, just having Y1 and L&P come up on stage was enough to
garner cheers from the entire audience.
After all, they were the champion and runner-up teams from last year, and
they had amazing popularity.
Yan Jiang was the last one to come out for Y1. He had his usual cold
expression on his face and didn’t look at the camera, looking aloof.
Yuan Ze was the first to appear from L&P. He contrasted sharply with Yan
Jiang, performing perfectly for the camera. He winked, using a wink to
make all the girls in the scrolling comments feel like their hearts were about
to explode.
Why was a scum man a scum man?
Because he was handsome!
With his charming looks, even if that pair of peach blossom eyes hadn’t
really deceived any little girls, they had still tricked away the hearts of
countless girls sitting in front of the screen!
Both sides went to their seats and started messing around from the BP link.
They were old rivals. How could they not understand the other party?
Relatively speaking, L&P was a bit more serious. This was especially true
for Old G, who’d appeared twice. His murderous intent was surging up to
the skies.
He’d lost in the singles, and he didn’t want to lose again in the team game.
Old G really wanted to win!
Wei Xiao yawned, not very interested in watching the game.
After interacting together for a long time, he’d basically gotten an

understanding of Y1. Or rather, he understood Yan Jiang.
One of Captain Yan’s distinguishing features was laziness.
He wasn’t like Asleep, who slept whenever he wasn’t in the canyon.
He was really lazy, the arrogant type of laziness.
For games that weren’t worth playing, he really wished that he could stick
the words ‘not interested’ right on the keyboard.
Not everyone could make God Yan go all out.
This point could be infuriating.
At the very least, Yuan Ze was so angry that his liver was hurting.
But there just wasn’t any way to deal with it; no flaws could be found to
prove that he was taking it easy, but on the other hand, how could he lose if
he was being serious?!
If you really questioned him?
That one look was something you had to experience for yourself.
Yuan Ze: “………………”
He was going to blow up from anger at this blatantly biased fellow!
All of those who understood God Yan could see it.
––Forced to do business.
––Who has to go play in the opening game?
––Oh, I accidentally won the global championship.
––Fine, I’ll play. Play it however.
Um…
The fans had translated his thoughts quite accurately. This man definitely
thought that way!
5v5 ended. Y1 was one step behind and lost to L&P.
They really were one step behind. Old G was like a mad dog who ran
around everywhere in the canyon. Y1 lost the battle in the last group fight
and lost the game.
Old G won, but he didn’t feel proud at all. He even felt more aggrieved than
before, “Captain……”
Yuan Ze turned his head to look at this big fool on his team and became
even more gloomy.
It was the same call of ‘captain’, but when he listened to Little Lunatic
Wei’s crisp young voice, then listened to Old G’s rough voice…
It wasn’t obvious without comparison, but he kind of wanted to turn gay

once he compared them.
Finally, it came to the casual player competition.

This was also the highlight that the audience was looking forward to the
most!
Just look at this name list! The Team of Gods plus Old G, famous
celebrities who were top players from all over the world!
Who would team up with whom?
Who would be opponents?
What was certain was that Yuan Ze and Gary would definitely be separated.
This was standard practice; if players from the same team played together
in this kind of performance competition, they would definitely end up
hurting each other.
So… what about the rest?
Would Close and Yan Jiang be in the same team? Or would he be in the
same team as Yuan Ze?
Would fanboy Gary continue battling with his idol, or would he have to
tearfully give up his jungler position?
There were too many possibilities; it was too exciting, they couldn’t wait to
watch!
As the host provided suspenseful commentary, the audience’s emotions

were stirred up to the limit. Even the audience in the live broadcast rooms
were very excited!
There were people betting, talking big, sending out gifts, crying loudly…
There was so much traffic in the animated live broadcast room that it was
about to explode.
It wasn’t until the lucky draw started that the fans in the live broadcast room
started getting envious, wanting to send out blades at the lucky ones.
The host was very good at whetting their appetites, drawing the players one
by one. The numbers rotated on the screen non-stop, and nobody dared to
blink as they watched.
The first to go up on stage was a 20 year old girl. Her face was thoroughly
red, and she was too excited to speak.
The second one was a little fatty who wore the FTW team uniform (fan
merchandise), who was trembling with excitement as he introduced himself.
The third one was another girl. She was a bit braver, and smiled at the
camera. But her cheeks still turned crimson when she glimpsed the
professional players out of the corner of her eyes––oh my god, the great
demon king was one head taller than her! That was the best height
difference, okay!
Off-stage.
Wei Xiao’s face was expressionless.
Brother Cai trembled in fear.
“As I was saying…”
Wei Xiao’s tone was dark, “Send Money a text message now and give him
back the Porsche!”
Wei Xiao: “Based on the law of conservation of character, your luck needs
to be traded in with a Porsche.”
Bai Cai didn’t even have the energy to curse at him!
Seeing that three positions were already picked and there was only one spot
left, Wei Xiao also grew disappointed.
It made sense, since it couldn’t be so coincidental…

How could he be chosen in an arena filled with tens of thousands of people?
There was no hope for it. He could only watch the captain from beneath the
stage. Wei Xiao sighed.
Forget it…
Wasn’t it just a friendly casual player competition? He could earn himself a

place next year!
He would definitely be among the top six most popular players in the
world!
Wei Xiao had already given up hope when Brother Cai exclaimed, “Holy
shit!”
Wei Xiao looked up.
The numbers scrolling on the screen looked familiar.
Wei Xiao: “!”
Brother Cai checked his seat number again and again.
Wei Xiao was shocked, “Really?”
Brother Cai gave up, “Really.”
F*ck, don’t call me Brother Cai in the future. Laozi was the real European
Emperor of Luck!
He even managed to win this kind of draw!

Ch226 - Where will Little Lunatic
Wei's craziness land?
Seeing that the last lucky player number had been drawn, the audience
members who hadn’t been chosen were all left disappointed. At the same
time, they were filled with envy and sent out a wave of jealous
dissatisfaction.
The host looked at the seat number and was stunned for a moment. “It
seems to be an audience member from the special guest seating.”
There was a pattern to the seating numbers, and the special guest seating
also had its own unique identifier, so the host could tell with a glance.
The audience was stunned as soon as he said this. The first thought in their
hearts was that there had to be something going on internally or some sort
of fraud. Was it worth doing such a thing for the casual player
competition…
The viewers in the live broadcast room were quicker to figure it out, “Holy
shit, I remember that the special guest seating is for professional players!”
“Also, only the players who are participating in the opening game can sit
there!”
“Through the process of elimination, those in the 5v5 game definitely aren’t
there. So that leaves… Pro, 3U, and FTW?”
“Oh, and there’s also EVE!”
“Who’s so ‘lucky’?”
There were quotation marks around the word ‘lucky’. To the audience, with
the casual player competition, casual players would be very happy about
being able to go up on stage and see their idols. For professional players to
go up though… they were faced with players who were either first in the
world, or first in the world. It was a real arena of slaughter, and they would
just be disgraced when they went up.
“I’ll feel distress for them ahead of time, but I hope it’s not my Little
Brother Chun.”
“God Yi is still backstage, right? Who else came from 3U?”
“Wait a minute! There are two players from FTW!”
“Brother Cai and Quiet.”
“Let me take back what I said earlier. If it’s the little lunatic, then I don’t
feel bad at all!”
“If it’s really Quiet, then I don’t even know who I should feel bad for this
time!”
If it had been Li Chun or Bai Cai, they’d probably have burst out into tears
on the spot if they’d gotten selected.
But if it was Wei Xiao…
The audience suspected that he wanted to go up and fight even in his

dreams!
The fans did know their big darling very well. When Wei Xiao stood up and
the camera panned over, there was a large stretch of ellipsis in the live
broadcast studio, and then…
“It really is Little Lunatic Wei!”
“F*ck, things are even more interesting now!”
“Ahhhh, Q Cub, hold back a little for Mama and don’t smile so happily!”
“This brat is so excited that he really can’t hide it.”
“Love it, love it. This personality of his where he’s not afraid of the heavens
or earth or life or death and is only afraid of things not being lively enough
is too deadly!”
The host was stunned briefly as well, and when she saw Wei Xiao take two
steps towards the stage, she even suspected that there was some sort of
script being acted out.
Was this okay?
The director wasn’t trying to stir up trouble, right?
Of course, her expression had to remain stable no matter what she thought
inside. The host smiled broadly as she greeted Wei Xiao. Wei Xiao wasn’t
an ordinary casual player, so he was at ease in front of the camera. His eyes
were curved with his smile, and his entire person radiated joy.
The domestic fans all understood him, and scrolling comments began to fill
up the screen:
“Calm down a bit, little lunatic!”
“Don’t scare the global online audience!”
“Keep a low profile, stay low-key. Hide your strength and wait for the real
competition!”
The global audience was really quite curious. “Quiet? FTW’s new jungler?”
“What a coincidence.”
“I heard that his skills aren’t bad?”
“He must have some ability in order to replace Close.”
“His skills are unknown, but he looks really cute.”

His black hair and eyes made his skin look clean and pure. The natural
aegyo sal beneath his eyes made them seem even more beautiful, and his
small tiger teeth were exposed at the corners of his smiling mouth. The
lethality of this sunny youth could cross borders, race, age, and even
gender.
After the interview, Wei Xiao’s gaze moved to Lu Feng.
Lu Feng’s thin lips curved up.
Wei Xiao blinked.
There was no need to mention what happened next. In any case, the live
broadcast room was like a groundhog’s nest that had just been pierced
through. There was no way to see any of the live broadcast content without
blocking out the ‘AHHHHHH’ scrolling comments that were so dense that
they’d started clumping together.
The host and audience weren’t the only ones surprised. The players on the
stage hadn’t expected this, either.
Yuan Ze raised his eyebrows. If it weren’t for the fact that they were on
stage, he would have opened his mouth to tease Wei Xiao.
Another surprised person was Yan Jiang.
Originally, God Yan’s body had been surrounded by an aura of boredom.

Now, the black eyes that were usually dull and indifferent were showing
obvious interest.
Wei Xiao was arranged to stand next to Kim Sung-hyun. Kim Sung-hyun
turned his head, and the man who was a cold, proud flower for the camera
had his eyes narrowed slightly. “Did Lulu do this for you?” FTW had
enough sway to make something like this happen by going through the back
door.
Wei Xiao: “Our FTW has luck that soars through the heavens. We don’t
need to cheat.”
With Caicai’s little red hands, such things were pretty easy.
Kim Sung-hyun: “……” Like hell I’d believe you!
Looking at the line-up on the stage was enough to excite people even before
they started!
The Team of Gods had gathered together as a group of former teammates.

There were enough feelings of gratitude as well as feuds between them to
write a story a million words long!
And there were current teammates who could cooperate with tacit
understanding––
Using the present to fight the past or taking up the mantle of the past to beat
up the present.
No matter which script it was, the audience loved them all!
The directors were also very surprised. There had been no shady dealings,
but for such a thing to happen… fantastic!
Traffic soared, the investor daddies were laughing out loud, and the
possibility of salary increases seemed closer than before!
Such a good opportunity couldn’t be missed. How could they make the
effect of the upcoming battle more interesting? How could they leave the
audience wanting more? And how could they stir up the flames of war?
This would all start with the formation of groups!
At this point, the directors really wanted to pull some strings from behind
the scene. Why make it a draw? Wouldn’t it be fun to split everyone up and
stir up chaos?
Unfortunately, the rules were released a long time ago. If they broke them
now and the fans decided to make an issue of it, then they’d be putting the
cart before the horse.
Everyone could only pray that the team split would be lively, interesting,
and more like an arena of slaughter…
Although it was a draw, there were also some hard rules. For example, there
were six predetermined professional players, with three on each team, and
two lucky draw players on either team. Professional players from the same
team wouldn’t be grouped up together.
This referred to the professional players and didn’t include Wei Xiao, who
was a lucky draw player.
When Wei Xiao saw that it was another lottery, he regretted that he hadn’t
brought Brother Cai along with him.
With Caicai there, all his wishes would come true!
Yuan Ze and Gary didn’t have a choice. One went to Group A, and the other
went to Group B. Their spots were fixed.
After the two of them stood apart, the rest of the professional players started
drawing lots.
Lu Feng went first and drew Group A.
Wei Xiao now understood the rules and began to chant in his heart,
“Brother Cai, bless me. Let me draw Group A.” He didn’t bother with
anything else and first repeated this chant 18 times.
The next up was Yuan Ze. Wei Xiao paid attention to his draw, and the
audience also stared at it carefully. The online audience also sent out
scrolling comments like crazy, “Group A! Group A! If Yuan Ze, Lu Feng,
and Yan Jiang are in the same team, then I can die in peace!”
“Group A, Group A, let Close and God Yan be on the same team. I want to
see the Team of Gods’ immortal jungler-support combo!”
“This female believer is willing to use 20KG of fat in exchange for God
Yan getting into Group A, ahhhh!”
The results came out. Captain Yan––Group B.
The scrolling comments: “…….”
This group of old CP fans and current cult fans were all abused to death.
Next up was Xie He and Kim Sung-hyun. These two were quick and direct,
one going into Group A, and the other going to Group B.
The professional players were settled. Group A had Yuan Ze, Lu Feng, Xie
He; Group B had Gary, Yan Jiang, Kim Sung-hyun.
Some people were happy about this line-up, while others were nervous.
The happy thing was that Yuan Ze, Lu Feng, and Xie He were on the same
team. It was like a f*cking dream come true.
The upsetting thing was that Lu Feng wasn’t in the same team as Yan Jiang
and Kim Sung-hyun. It was enough for people to wake up from their
dreams in tears.
Finally, it was the lucky players’ turn to draw for their group.
Although Wei Xiao was the last one to come up onto the stage, he was the
first one to go up and draw.
It wasn’t that he’d taken the initiative to go up and draw, but that the other
three players had taken the initiative to step back, hoping that he would be
the first to go.
Wei Xiao didn’t try to act polite with them and boldly walked over while
nervously blessing Caicai numerous times in his heart.
Everyone’s gazes fell on him. They were all waiting to see which group
Little Lunatic Q would fall into.
In fact, many people were waiting.
There was no doubt that Yuan Ze wanted Wei Xiao to join Group A.
Needless to say, Yan Jiang wanted Wei Xiao to go to Group B.
Coincidentally, the other two players from the Team of Gods had opposing
ideas.
Xie He, who was in Group A, wanted Wei Xiao to go to Group B, because
he wanted him as an opponent more than he wanted him as a teammate.
Kim Sung-hyun, who was in Group B, wanted Wei Xiao to go to Group A.

It wasn’t that Proud Flower Kim wanted to battle with the jungler kings, but
more because… because––everyone would understand once the game
began!
Looking at the ‘wish value’, things were quite even. So, which group would
Wei Xiao draw?
He glanced at the card as soon as he pulled it out, and then…
The host announced the results, “Congratulations, Quiet. You drew Group
B.”
Group B!
It was Group B!
Not Group A!
The directors almost jumped up in joy. Wonderful! There were two pairs of
players from the same team who would be fighting against each other. It
was enough to triple their happiness.
The fans were also happy to see this. The great demon king and the little
lunatic being on the same team was something they could see every day. It
was wonderful to be able to see them go up against each other!
Wei Xiao shot Lu Feng an aggrieved look.

No one who could read lips could understand it, and even the Sherlock
Holmes fans in the live broadcast studio couldn’t figure it out. Only Wei
Xiao understood him.
––Be good.
Wei Xiao inhaled lightly, his face feeling a little hot.
Captain, that’s foul play!
Forget it. Although he couldn’t show off his love with the captain, it had
been a long time since they’d played a solo game against each other. To be
able to play such an exciting game was also an opportunity that could only
be chanced upon and not requested!
Wei Xiao resurrected on the spot and even started to look forward to it.
Yuan Ze, his captain, and Xie He were on the other side.
It could be said that he was up against the current three most hardcore
players of the Glory circle. It was a happy thing to be able to go all out and
play a game against them!
The group draw ended.
Group A: Lu Feng, Yuan Ze, Xie He, and two lucky players.
Group B: Yan Jiang, Wei Xiao, Kim Sung-hyun, Gary, and the little fatty.
Judging from the line-up, Group B had a great advantage. Even without
mentioning Yan Jiang’s ‘immortal’ buff, just the fact that it was four against
three was enough of a challenge for Group A.
Saying that it was four against three didn’t mean that they were looking
down on ordinary players. However, when faced with these top players
from around the world, even national server players would become bronze
level players, not to mention these ordinary players where the highest rank
among them was only gold.
The commentators were also very excited. Although this was an
entertainment game, being able to provide commentary for such a
wonderful game was like having a pie drop down from the sky.
“Looking at the current situation, I think that the BP link will be very
interesting.”
These words made sense. Just take a look at these players.
Group A had two peak level top-laners, Yuan Ze and Lu Feng.
Reasonably speaking, Lu Feng would play jungler. Of course, the audience

would grow even more excited if he played jungler. It was exciting just
thinking about having the world’s number one jungler king switch back to
his old position!
Group B was even more interesting. Gary and Wei Xiao were both excellent
jungler players this year, and they were both the core of their teams. Would
the two of them compete for the jungler spot?
There really was something to this draw. The two top-laner daddies were in
one team, and the two jungler kings were in another team. They hadn’t even
started playing yet, but the internal fighting had already begun!
The audience were more open with their words, “Walking by, passing by,
don’t miss out. Our Group A is full of solo players. Each of them is capable
of fighting one against five, but when they’re put together…”
Well, they could only hope that the Team of Gods still remembered how to
write the word ‘cooperation’.
“Group B has a good chance of winning. Wei Xiao can go on the top lane,
while Old G is very stable as a jungler. There’s also the late stage daddy,
Kim Sung-hyun, coupled with Captain Yan’s sense of rhythm. This… can
almost be rounded up to the composition of a championship team!”
“Hurry up, hurry up, I want to watch Lulu play jungler!”
However, in Group A’s team chat.

Yuan Ze: “Close, take jungler.”
Close: “No.”
Yuan Ze: “???”
Close: “I’m a top-laner.”
Yuan Ze was surprised. “Holy shit, you can’t be asking me to play jungler.”
Close: “Mm.”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”
It was well known that God Yuan only played in the top lane. If he was
asked to play jungler, then he could actually play like a noob.
But…
When he thought about how Close had wanted to play top-laner, but had
switched to playing the jungler position for the team, Teacher Yuan felt a
little soft-hearted.
It wasn’t only during the Team of Gods era. Close, who had become known
for his thief right from the start, was thoroughly labelled as a jungler.
Especially after FTW had broken up. Little Close, who had held up the
entire team on his own, could only play in the jungler position.
Close hadn’t been capricious or willful during FTW’s heyday.
He was even less able to act capriciously when standing among the empty
ruins of FTW.
Until this year, until Wei Xiao appeared…
Only then did he switch to the position he wanted to play.
Damn it.
Yuan Ze gritted his teeth and broke his own rules. “I’ll use the death knight
and play jungler.”
Lu Feng: “Oh.”
He locked in the shadow thief, but he didn’t take the jungler common skill.
It was clear that he planned to use the shadow thief in the top lane.
The audience couldn’t know what Group A’s plan was without seeing the
final line-up. They were still immersed in the happy news. “Oh, the great
demon king’s shadow thief jungler. It’s been a long time!”
Group B’s team chat was very harmonious.
Wei Xiao: “Old G, jungler?” This name had stuck with him.
Old G: “You take it.”
Wei Xiao: “So kind?”
Gary: “Your captain must be playing jungler, and my captain must be in the
top lane. We can battle separately.”
Wei Xiao took the shadow thief. “You’re tough.”
Gary locked in the death knight.
At this moment, at this time, who would’ve dared to think that Gary wasn’t
going up against his captain, and Wei Xiao wasn’t going up against his own
captain?
Fight, fight! Hahahahahaha

Ch227 - He couldn’t figure out how
these accounts were calculated!
Kim Sung-hyun withered the moment he saw Wei Xiao take the shadow
thief.
He didn’t need to think about it anymore; he wouldn’t be able to see his

own team’s support for the entire game.
Proud Flower Kim thought back to three years ago and the fear he’d felt
when he’d been under Captain Yan’s control.
They were both supports, both captains, and both his seniors, but the gap
between Yan Jiang and Li Heran was as high as Mt. Han!
Getting accustomed to Li Heran’s gentle care, then falling into Yan Jiang’s
hands again was enough to make Kim Sung-hyun forget how to play.
He tentatively locked in the storm hunter, very conscious that he would be

looking after himself.
The remaining lucky player in Group B, Little Fatty, spoke up cautiously,

“What should I use?”
Wei Xiao: “What are you good at?”
Little Fatty: “……”
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
How would Little Fatty dare to say that the talent he was best with was the
shadow thief!
Even if he had a provincial level shadow thief, even if he was honored as a
jungler king amongst normal players, even if his shadow thief was enough
for him to carry girls and win, would he dare to say such things here?!
Saying that he was good at the shadow thief in front of FTW’s inheritor of
the shadow thief?
If he said this, Little Fatty would end up nailed to the pillar of shame as
soon as Glory’s Mic Explosion King released the voice chats!
His brain shifted gears 18 times, and he said politely, “Fire mage.”
It was an entry level hero in Glory. It was easy to get started with and was
loved by the girls.
Wei Xiao: “Cute.”
He was thinking of the jumping and bouncing Lulu fire mage, but how
could Little Fatty know that? He was flattered, so much so that he couldn’t
even hold the keyboard!
The corner of Kim Sung-hyun’s mouth twitched. Be a little more self-

aware, hey, you’re someone’s boyfriend!
Yan Jiang took the soul warlock.
Needless to say, this move of his instantly attracted Wei Xiao’s attention.
“Is Captain Yan serious!”
Wei Xiao: “Are you following me? Do you know how to play the shadow
thief?”
Gary interjected, “The death knight combo is simpler. Captain Yan, follow
me!”
This lame Chinese with a Northerner accent could really come from no one
else.
Yan Jiang: “Just playing around.”
Wei Xiao: “That’s alright, using the soul warlock is great. If you really
can’t, then just attach to the fire mage and play a mid-laner.”
Yan Jiang: “Mm.”
To hell with your ‘mm’. The little children might not know, but how could
he not know?!
Was there any talent that Yan Jiang couldn’t play?!
Or, in other words, was there any talent in Glory that Yan Jiang hadn’t
studied extensively?
Although the soul warlock was a new talent, the essence of this talent was
to make use of other talents’ skills.
For Yan Jiang, this didn’t require any adapting at all. He could use them all
directly.
During their days in the Team of Gods, Yan Jiang had never signed up for
the single and doubles competitions, but it wasn’t because he couldn’t play.
It had been because he was too lazy to play!
Kim Sung-hyun inexplicably felt a little lucky.
This was good; luckily, he wasn’t in Group A. Otherwise, he would have

been killed off by this support-jungler pair.
It was also good that Lu Feng was playing jungler in Group A. At least
Little Lunatic Wei would hold back a bit.
After that, he entered the game matching screen and saw the other side’s
line-up as well as the common skills they were carrying (the casual player
competition used the blind talent selection mode).
Wei Xiao: “???”
Old G: “???”
The other side also had a death knight and a shadow thief, but the one with
the jungler skill was the death knight, while the shadow thief had taken the
hunting skill.
Yuan Ze was the death knight, and Lu Feng was the shadow thief.
Old G was stunned. “What’s this situation? My captain is playing jungler?”
Wei Xiao exploded, “Old G, did you do this on purpose?!”
Gary: “???”
What did I do on purpose?
Wei Xiao: “You deliberately tricked me into playing jungler! You purposely
lured the tiger away from the mountain! You took advantage of the
opportunity and stole into other people’s homes!”
Based on Old G’s Chinese level, it was a little difficult for Old G to
understand these words.
Wei Xiao then questioned him again in English, “You must have discussed
it with your captain beforehand. Tricking my captain to go to the top lane,
while you also play top-laner, so that you two can solo without a care for
anyone else!”
Gary instantly cried out at this injustice, “I didn’t, I’m not, don’t talk
nonsense!”
Wei Xiao: “Then why is Marshal playing jungler?”
He deliberately used Yuan Ze’s ID. Firstly, there was a lucky player present,
and he might scare him if he called Yuan Ze ‘Old Bandit Yuan.’ Another
reason was just for emphasis.
Marshal had once said, “Laozi only loves playing top-lane in this life and
will only play top-lane. I’d rather retire than play any other position.”
He hadn’t retired yet, but Marshal had ‘changed his mind’!
If Wei Xiao hadn’t been convinced about Yuan Ze’s bad habit, then he
wouldn’t have given up his top-lane position to Gary.
As everyone knew, the top-laner position was the solo position in a 5v5
game.
If it wasn’t a special situation, then generally, it would end up with two

people hanging out in the top lane. Wei Xiao kept sighing over how he
couldn’t be together with his captain. This time, they were really staggered
apart; it made him even more angry!
Poor Old G. He had probably never considered that his captain would break
his own oath like this.
Group A had originally been very strong. They had three solo kings and
could suppress the other side by playing casually.
Now…
Forget it. Captain Lu and God Xie might not be able to carry the team!
Wei Xiao scolded Old G to his face, and Old G couldn’t do anything about
it––when it came to this, he was the one who was getting the better end of
the deal.
Although he wasn’t facing off with Yuan Ze in his lane, being able to play
against Close was an even happier situation.
He’d lost in the singles, and it was time to get even in the 5v5 game.
Old G coaxed Wei Xiao, “It’s all right, you can come provide support for
the top lane more often.”
Wei Xiao grew even angrier. “I’m supposed to go to the top lane and help
you beat up my captain?”
Gary: “Cough……”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely kill your captain.”
Gary: “…………”
He couldn’t figure out how these accounts were calculated!
After entering the game, Wei Xiao’s murderous aura was surging, and the
speed at which he cleared the jungle was really shocking.
The director gave a shot of the whole game, providing a panoramic view of
the entire canyon.
In Group B, Wei Xiao and Yan Jiang had their own tacit understanding.
They flew through the jungle creeps, and finished clearing half the jungle
zone within moments, then turned to go to the bottom jungle zone.
Group A was a different style altogether. Yuan Ze huffed and puffed as he

killed off his red buff, and after killing it off with much difficulty, he took a
detour before going to kill the stone man. This navigation alone made
people unable to bear looking at it directly!
Seriously speaking, there wasn’t much that a professional player couldn’t

play.
Although they had strong tendencies, for example, ADC’s generally

wouldn’t play mid-laner mages, and mid-lane mages generally wouldn’t try
to play ADC.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t play those talents, but that the way they thought
about the game was different. One required them to support the lanes on
both sides, while the other needed to do whatever they could to survive and
develop. There was a big difference in game consciousness, which wasn’t a
big deal in a casual game, but this kind of thing grew into a big gap when it
came to professional competitions.
For example, Teacher Yuan; the death knight was a hero he was good at. He
knew all of its skills like the back of his hand, and could avoid skills and
maximize DPS when jungling, but… his mentality for this position was
wrong.
In the professional arena, games were calculated by the second. For him to
make this detour meant that Little Lunatic Wei was already one jungle creep
ahead of him.
It was also fortunate that the shadow thief didn’t dare to fight against the
death knight in the early stages, because otherwise, Wei Xiao would’ve
come around to find him and mess with him a long time ago.
Of course, it still wasn’t too late now…
By the time Group B finished clearing all their jungle zones, Yuan Ze had
only just started working on his bottom jungle.
Group B team chat.
Mid-laner Little Fatty wailed, “I… I can’t hold on…”
He’d tried his best, but that was God Xie across from him!
No matter how hard he tried, he wouldn’t be able to resist against Xie He!
Xie He was using a new mid-laner talent that had just been released. This
new mage, which he hadn’t used more than a few times, was abusing the
fire mage until it had been left in a sorry state.
Wei Xiao: “Coming.”
He’d gank Xie He first. In any case, Yuan Ze wouldn’t be able to provide
support.
First Blood broke out before he could arrive!
Had God Xie killed mid-laner Little Fatty?

Had God Kim killed the group of two in the bottom lane in a two against
one fight?
None of the above.
Close had solo killed Gary!
When the system announcement sounded out, the applause from the live
audience rang out like thunder, and the live broadcast screens were covered
in a stretch of ahhhhhh’s.
First Blood had gone to Close.
Glory’s great demon king lived up to his name!
Gary, who’d given out First Blood in the singles competition, gave out First
Blood once again.
Gary felt very aggrieved.
Wei Xiao: “Routine operations.”
Gary: “…………”
He’d forgotten that his teammate wasn’t really his teammate!
For this, it really wasn’t that Wei Xiao hadn’t saved him, but that Old G
himself had lost his head.
He was using the death knight, and Lu Feng was using the shadow thief.
As everyone knew, the death knight was a daddy who could suppress the
shadow thief in a fight in the early stages. Gary was eager to prove himself,
and he wanted to kill the great demon king to indulge himself first before
worrying about anything else.
If he didn’t play more fiercely at the start, then he wouldn’t be able to play
at all when the shadow thief picked up his light arcs later on.
There was nothing wrong with Gary’s train of thought. Besides, Yuan Ze
was being deadly slow at clearing the jungle and wouldn’t be able to
provide support. As long as he seized the right opportunity, he would be
able to kill Lu Feng.
And then… the great demon king seized the right opportunity to catch him
instead, and he was sent to the fountain in tears.
Wei Xiao’s thought process was, “No way, I have to go kill Yuan Ze, too.”
Old G: “???”
Wei Xiao: “If the captain can kill you when you’re playing death knight,
then I can also kill the other side’s death knight.”
They were both shadow thieves, both death knights.
Lu Feng killed Gary.
Wei Xiao also wanted to kill Yuan Ze!
Gary wanted to go into seclusion. “You guys… you guys…” Are inhuman!
Close took First Blood, and it wasn’t just Wei Xiao who let it get to his
head.
Xie He was only a few seconds behind him. He went under the tower and
killed Group B’s Little Fatty. The Little Fatty fell to the ground, but he was
very pleased, his mouth stretched in a happy smile––he’d persisted for so
long and hadn’t sent out First Blood. It was enough for him to boast about
for a year!
The director also had a sense of humor and really showed him on the
camera.
The audience in the live broadcast room helped him provide commentary,
“Thank you to the competition committee, the organizers, the great demon
king, God G, and thank the heavens and earth for the mid-lane soldiers that
allowed me to survive until now…”
After Xie He killed Little Fatty, Kim Sung-hyun stopped taking it easy on
the girls. He killed the two of them on his own and took a double kill.
Not only were the two girls not sad at being killed by the proud flower, they
were even especially excited and praised Kim Sung-hyun in their team chat.
Finally, the cameras all shifted to show the two junglers.
Wei Xiao had given up on providing Little Fatty with support. If he was
unable to catch and kill Yuan Ze in the jungle zone, then things wouldn’t be
right in the world.
Not to mention, he wasn’t alone. He had an immortal support beside him.
There was no suspense. The shadow thief used Shadow Attack to charge in
and met the death knight!
Yuan Ze sucked in a breath of air.
In this life, he’d always been the existence that made other people’s backs
feel cold. Now, he had a profound experience of being on the other side.
Helpless, powerless, and feeling a little f*cking bit of subtle grievance.
The holographic projection focused on this wave of close combat.
At the moment when the soul warlock hit Yuan Ze, the shadow thief had
already started up his combo. Wei Xiao had cleared out the jungle quickly,
and he was a bit higher than Yuan Ze in both experience and level. Yan
Jiang’s precise control was so accurate that he didn’t need to think about
anything and just had to deal out explosive DPS!
Yuan Ze lost half his health in the blink of an eye.
The old bandit was still good at surviving. He was using his light form,
which was comparatively more flexible. He barely managed to block Wei
Xiao’s basic attack and quickly retreated.
If he wasn’t up against Yan Jiang, then he would really have had a hope of
running away.
Unfortunately, a soul blade was there to block his retreat. The shadow thief
shifted position to appear right in front of his face, giving up the
opportunity for a back stab. Although there was no critical hit, Wei Xiao
had control over the damage he dealt, and it was nothing for him to take
away the death knight’s life.
FTW.Quiet killed L&P.Marshal.
Killing quickly, simply, and indiscriminately!
His liver hurt from anger at the two dogs on the other side!
The commentators gave a round of praise for the cooperation between Wei
Xiao and Yan Jiang just now.
In fact, there was no need to say it. Everyone could see clearly that this tacit
understanding was godly. Those who knew the situation, knew that it was
two strangers from different teams. Those who didn’t know would think
that this was an immortal jungler support pairing!
The fans in the live broadcast studio quickly told the story of what had
happened during the new singles performance competition a while back.
Wei Xiao’s instances of ‘using then discarding’ Captain Yan were too
numerous to be counted!
“Speaking of which… Captain Yan is using a soul warlock!”
“The soul warlock with the shadow thief!”
“When they get to level six, will he use his attachment on Wei Xiao?”
“Could it be that we’ll be able to see three shadow thieves in this game?”
“Holy shit, I’ve seen nine light arcs and eight light arcs, but have you guys
seen three shadow thieves brush out light arcs together?”
“Wake up! As a support, it’ll be a miracle for Yan Jiang to be able to use the
shadow thief at all, let alone light arcs.”
“Um……”
“Can Yan Jiang use the shadow thief?”
FTW’s old fans shouted out loudly, “Yes!”
The rest of the audience was more conservative, “Can he brush out six light
arcs?”
The old fans were bold and direct, “We don’t know!”
“To hell with that!”
They shouldn’t overthink it. Although the soul warlock could use the skills
of the target they were attached to, it would be weakened by half. If he
wanted to brush out seven arcs, then he would have to have the ability to
brush out eight arcs. In order to brush out eight light arcs, then it would
have to be Close using the soul warlock!
Ch228 - Close! Come here and
manage your own little lunatic!
It didn’t matter that Yuan Ze had died once, but what was unfortunate was
that he had lost control over all of his jungle zones.
Wei Xiao accurately locked in on the jungle creep refresh times and farmed
resources like crazy, completely treating Group A’s jungle zone like his own
backyard. He came and went whenever he wanted, and there was nothing
Yuan Ze could do about it.
Fight? He couldn’t win!
Not fight, and let the little lunatic prance around arrogantly? As a big
brother, didn’t he need his dignity?!
Yuan Ze: “Old Xie…”
Xie He: “Busy.”
Like hell you’re busy. Based on your mid-lane ability and just having to
face off with only that fire mage who wished they could give you ten
thousand kills – what are you busy with? Are you busy waiting for the other
side to send their head over for you to kill?!
Teacher Yuan was someone with self respect and wouldn’t ask a second
time. He turned his head to ask Lu Feng, “How about I come and help you
clear your lane soldiers?”
He was unable to guard his own jungle zone. He wanted money, but
couldn’t get any; he wanted experience, but he couldn’t get any either. His
title as world’s number one death knight was hollow and useless!
Lu Feng didn’t speak. He started up his light arcs and cleared out his lane
soldiers completely.
Yuan Ze: “………………” Did you f*cking have to go so far!
The audience couldn’t hear the team chat. The only thing they could see
was the light arcs suddenly bursting out on the top lane.
“What’s going on!”
“Is Old G dead again?”
“Nooo, Gary didn’t show up.”
“Then who did the great demon king brush out his light arcs for???”
“The little soldiers…”
“Using the light arcs to clear out his lane? Your daddy really is your daddy.”
“But why use light arcs to clear out the soldiers?”
Some members of the audience had sharp eyes, “To tell you the truth, I
think Yuan Ze might have wanted to leech off the top lane soldiers.”
“………………”
When it came to being cruel, Lulu was still the most cruel. He didn’t even
leave a bite of meat for his big brother!
The director showed the farm panel, and all the viewers laughed out loud.
Close had the highest farm across the whole canyon.
Marshal had the lowest farm.
Despite this, Close still didn’t give him half a cent of farm. The scrolling
comments had a full unspoken understanding regarding this and all sent out
‘feeling distressed for Captain Yuan’ comments.
It was a performance game, and everyone was playing for fun. Yuan Ze was
too embarrassed to go to the bottom lane and leech farm from the two girls
at the bottom lane, and his jungle zone was now surnamed Wei. His own
top and middle lanes were super stingy and wouldn’t even leave him a
mouthful of soup, leaving him with the lowest farm.
His teammates disdained him, and his opponents bullied him.
Yuan Ze endured for three full minutes before exploding, “Close! Come
here and manage your own little lunatic!”
Lu Feng: “No.”
What do you mean, no? You won’t manage him, or you won’t be coming?
Probably both.
At the end of the day, Teacher Yuan wasn’t just an ordinary person. He
hadn’t read all those psychology books for nothing, and he was trying his
best to survive. “Are you going to let Captain Yan indulge him like this?”
What did it mean to draw blood with a single hit? What did it mean to hit
the bullseye? What did it mean to say that Old Dog Yuan was really a dog!
The two girls who were in the same team were still playing games, but they
really wanted to give out shrill screams!
Although they were all innocent and straight male players, this teammate
friendship was very easy to ship!
Yuan Ze naturally wouldn’t say things clearly. He circled around it, “Gary
ran into Yan Jiang in a ranking game before. After playing together for a
game, he almost packed up to run off to Europe!”
Sexy Old G was online and taking the blame, but he didn’t know anything
about it.
The girls in the team breathed in lightly, and they became even less focused
on the game. They only wanted to prick their ears up in order to listen to
gossip.
Yuan Ze continued trying, “Aren’t you afraid of Little Lunatic Wei and Yan
Jiang…”
He hadn’t finished the rest of his sentence when Lu Feng spoke, “Come
here.”
Yuan Ze: “!”
Since things had progressed to this point, although Big Brother Yuan had
cheapened himself slightly, he would lose everything if he didn’t start
fighting back!
Yuan Ze pressed the teleport button and quickly arrived at Lu Feng’s side.
Although Lu Feng was too lazy to care about Yuan Ze’s crappy jungler, he
wouldn’t let the game end just like this.
It might be an entertainment performance game, but he knew that Wei Xiao

was looking forward to it.
When he was beneath the stage, he’d heard what Wei Xiao was saying to
Bai Cai.
Wei Xiao was looking forward to this game, and Lu Feng wouldn’t let him
down.
One of the keys to playing jungler was controlling the jungle zone, and then
snatching up the rhythm of the game.
In this match, with Teacher Yuan’s endless throwing of the game, Wei Xiao
had already obtained absolute control over the jungle zones. After grasping
the timing of when the jungle creeps refreshed, his rhythm would only rise
up.
Snatch up jungle creeps, kill them off, then gank. It was a one stop solution
kind of service that every professional jungler king understood.
Lu Feng hadn’t played jungler for a long time, but there was absolutely
nothing wrong with his consciousness, and he understood Wei Xiao and
even Yan Jiang.
He knew exactly where Wei Xiao would be next.
The death knight on his own team was now useless, and hitting them hard
was meaningless. Lu Feng called Yuan Ze over so that they could target a
point in Wei Xiao’s rhythm and break it up.
The two dragons would refresh at the same time. Wei Xiao would only be
able to take one of them.
The three wolves in the bottom jungle zone had just come out, and from the
perspective of maximizing farm, Wei Xiao would definitely go for the gold
dragon. In that case…
They would take the silver dragon.
Yuan Ze had messed around for half the game, but he’d sobered up a bit. He
could recover some of his losses in farm by taking the silver dragon, and
when Wei Xiao rushed over, they could dodge beneath the tower and clear
out a wave of soldiers, maybe even taking out Old G at the same time.
Yes, there was no need to be polite. Gary had to die.
In just five short minutes, Group A’s rhythm underwent earth shaking
changes.
There was no need for commentary. The audience’s eyes were bright, and
they instantly saw to the core of the changes.
“Close is badass! He can turn the tide even with this!”
“He’s worthy of being my husband. It’s obvious that he’s got it as soon as
he makes a move!”
“The great demon king understands the little lunatic well. He saw through
him completely.”
“Are you treating FTW’s top-jungler linkage as though it’s fake? Their
hearts are connected!”
“Speaking of which, what’s going on with L&P’s top-jungler linkage.”
“Don’t ask, if you ask, then they’ve lost their mind!”
They were both top and jungler battles, but why were the two from FTW
each better than the other? They played perfectly even when they were
opponents, yet L&P had collapsed just like this?
Weren’t they the number one top-jungler linkage in the world?
Weren’t they the agreed-on championship team (19th season)!
What was going on with Gary and Yuan Ze!
They really couldn’t be blamed for this. FTW’s top-laner was still in the top
lane, and their jungler was still jungling, while L&P’s jungler had become
their top-laner, and their top-laner had become a noob. It was only due to
their ability as professional players that they were able to hold on until now,
okay!
Lu Feng snatched back the rhythm for Group A. Although he hadn’t taken
the jungler open skill, and although he wasn’t playing jungler, he did
everything that should be done.
So, did Yuan Ze end up going back to the top lane to abuse Gary?
Dream on.
The jungle zone belonged to the shadow thief, and the top lane also
belonged to the shadow thief.
The death knight?
Yuan Ze gave up on himself and bought support equipment with which to

shield Close.
Although Wei Xiao never ran into Lu Feng, he was too familiar with this
feeling.
Each move of his was seen through. There was someone who understood
where he wanted to go better than him, someone who completely
understood his rhythm, his thoughts, and his actions.
Who was this person?
His captain!
It was clear that the situation had changed for him, but Wei Xiao’s tail was
flipped up high.
Close was awesome. Even he wanted to help the fans shout out loud!
After two or three waves of guerrilla operations, Yuan Ze looked at the

farm. “Gank?”
Lu Feng: “This way.”
The two of them circled around the bushes behind the stone man and
waited.
Yuan Ze: “The captain won’t check the bushes.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Yuan Ze: “Maybe he already set up vision.”
Lu Feng: “There isn’t any.”
Yuan Ze: “Will the little lunatic really come over here…”
Don’t blame Teacher Yuan for nitpicking like this. It was really that this
moment was too important. If they could press Wei Xiao to death in this
wave, Group A may be able to turn the tables. If they couldn’t, then based
on Xie He’s listless state, Group A was done for.
The audience, who had god’s perspective, grew even more enthusiastic.
“I’ve been waiting for this scene for three years!”
“The scene of Marshal’s death knight and Close’s shadow thief crouching
together is so good that I want to cry!”
“Remember the last game from three years ago?”
“I remember, I remember, the shadow thief attacked and took away the
side’s c-position. The death knight broke in with a heavy blade and ended
the game with a three against one fight!”
“Right, right, right, that game was the only time when my God Kim was
beloved by his captain. Unfortunately, the top jungler pair was inhuman and
broke down the other side even before he could develop enough to join the
group fights.”
“Was that in London? I heard that the entire venue exploded, and the
audience scolded the Asian team to death.”
“I would’ve scolded if it was me, too. Spending so much in order to watch

the game just to have it turn out to be even less interesting than a casual
game.”
“Acing the other party in a two against five and playing a 5v5 like a doubles
game. The Team of Gods was really badass back then!”
For the fragmented Team of Gods, every second was an unforgettable

memory.
They watched as Wei Xiao came over. The soul warlock, who was attached
to him, was only a faint shadow.
The shadow thief himself was a character that hid in the dark, and the faint
glow from the shadow thief was like a mist that hid him in the night.
Yan Jiang: “There’s someone up ahead.”

Wei Xiao’s footsteps paused, “Is it my captain?”
Yan Jiang: “And Yuan Ze.”
Wei Xiao’s mouth curved up slightly, “Okay.”
Knowing that there were tigers on the mountain but insisting on going there
anyway, that referred precisely to Wei Little Xiao!
The commentators: “Quiet rushed in. Has he fallen for Close and Marshal’s
ambush?”
“Didn’t Captain Yan give him vision? He didn’t even toss out a skill and
went straight into the bushes?”
“No, wait, Quiet used the shadow attack and stacked up a layer of marks.”
“Captain Yan kept up with him and used the same skill in the same
direction. His actions aren’t any worse than his.”
The commentators were excited, and the fans in the live broadcast studio
were even more excited.
“Holy shit, holy shit, are they so certain that there’s someone there? They
charged right in with their skills?”
“I now know why they call Quiet a lunatic. He even f*cking dares to do
this!”
“The start for this is wrong.”
“He started spreading marks directly, stacking them up for his light arcs?”
“This greeting is really tough!”
“Quickly look at Close…”
“Oh my god, this hand speed is extreme.”

“Jealous, jealous. I really envy the live audience. How explosive would it
be to watch this in person?”
Wei Xiao charged into the bushes and wasn’t surprised to see Yuan Ze and
Lu Feng there. None of the four people who came face to face with each
other panicked.
The two hiding in the bushes had expected them to charge in, and the two
rushing into the bushes knew who was inside.
They didn’t hesitate at all. Wei Xiao even took the lead and took this micro
advantage to unhesitatingly start building up momentum.
However, Close wasn’t frightened by his appearance and started his attack
at almost the same time. Yuan Ze also switched forms instantly, aiming hard
at Wei Xiao. Yan Jiang used a fine control skill to interrupt his attack, and
Yuan Ze continued attacking, taking down over half of the soul warlock’s
spirit bar.
The soul warlock had a spirit bar when they were attached. It would be
reduced after getting attacked, and once it was empty, the attachment would
cancel out, and the soul warlock would take serious damage.
Wei Xiao wasn’t distracted, completely putting his trust in Yan Jiang.
Yan Jiang switched skills and used the soul hunter’s skills to protect Wei
Xiao.
Almost at the same time, nine light arcs fell from the sky.
Yuan Ze: “F*ck.” He retreated in a hurry but was still affected by the light
arcs.
Yan Jiang’s spirit attachment was broken. He was seriously injured and
slipped behind Wei Xiao.
Light filled the whole sky. The holographic projection lit up almost the
entire venue.
Everyone in the audience who saw this scene held their breath.
It was just too gorgeous, too amazing.
The two sets of nine light arcs that were brushed out at the same time
shocked everyone!
Close’s nine light arcs.
Quiet’s nine light arcs.
FTW’s inherited shadow thief was really f*cking amazing!
They rose up and fell at the same time.
This shocking damage killed all the jungle creeps nearby.
Yuan Ze and Yan Jiang drew back from the attack zone, but they still fell to
the ground, seriously injured.
FTW.Close killed FTW.Quiet.
FTW.Quiet killed FTW.Close.

Ch229 - It turned out that the soul
warlock could even be used like
this!
How much others knew or didn’t know wasn’t important. In any case,
Brother Cai had been smacked in the face with this display and almost
couldn’t sit still!
Li Chun: “Double nine light arcs, so cool!”
Li Chun: “Close and Quiet are too strong!”
Brother Cai, who’d been choked to the point he wanted to roll his eyes,
calmed himself down. “They are quite strong.”
Li Chun: “It’s so romantic…”
These words almost scared Brother Cai into hiding under the chair. “Ro-
roman… what…” Tch, tch!
Li Chun said longingly, “The shadow thief is really the epitome of a man’s
romance!”
I’m about to be scared to death by your exaggerated speech!
The shadow thief was indeed a man’s romance, and the light arcs had
romantic appeal to all Glory players. At this moment, the two people in the
arena were showing them double the romance.
Too cool.
Super explosive.
Both the live audience and the fans in the live broadcast studio were
excited.
In a 2v2, all four players toppled.
The two shadow thieves both took a double kill. No one won or lost, but
they showed the world an unprecedentedly wonderful scene.
Not to mention the audience, even their teammates shifted their minimaps
one after another and stared at the scene for a long time.
The two girls in Group A didn’t pay attention to God Kim’s existence at all
and didn’t even bother with clearing their lanes. They inhaled sharply, and
if it weren’t for the fact that their teleportation skills were on cooldown,
they would have flown over to take a group photo!
In fact, they wanted to run over now. It would be great to just look at the
bodies.
And then……
Kim Sung-hyun stepped on raindrops and sent off the girls, helping them
save on ‘travel expenses.’
In the mid-lane, Little Fatty couldn’t escape God Xie’s direct punch to the
head, either. He shouted as he died and went back to the fountain, “So
amazing, so amazing, too amazing.”
It was fortunate that he hadn’t said he was good at the shadow thief. With
this level of extreme operations in play, he didn’t even deserve to mention
the two words ‘shadow thief’.
In the 5v5 canyon, only Xie He and Kim Sung-hyun were left alive. One of
them took down the other side’s mid-lane first tower, and the other took
down their opponent’s bottom lane outer tower.
At first glance, it seemed that Group B, who’d lost their mid-lane tower,
suffered more losses. However, looking at the farm situation, where Kim
Sung-hyun had quietly accumulated a lot of farm, it became clear that
Group A was in a dangerous situation.
In the late stages, when Daddy Kim really stood up, then Lu Feng and Yuan
Ze would have to take him down in a 2v1 trade. Otherwise, who else would
be able to stop him?
Once Lu Feng and Yuan Ze died to take him down, then Group A would be
done for. No matter how amazing God Xie was, it would still be difficult for
him to provide support on his own.
Wei Xiao, Gary, and Yan Jiang. These three could ensure that he died in a
way that made things very clear.
Of course, the game wasn’t over yet, and it was too early to jump to any
conclusions.
After this wave of 2v2, Lu Feng completely took over as the jungler while
simultaneously eating up his top-lane farm. There was nothing Yuan Ze
could do but to follow along to try and get a bit of farm for himself.
The high and lofty number one top-laner in the Temple of Glory had fallen
to this point. It was really…
Greatly enjoyed by the audience!
Yeah.
There weren’t many who shed tears for him. Instead, many waved flags and
shouted cheers.
Scum Man Yuan’s fans were all outstanding in this sense!
Just as Kim Sung-hyun had thought when the groups were formed, he was
doomed to be an orphan left to his own devices with Wei Xiao in the group.
He was a good and proper big treasure, a rare immortal ADC in the world,
but he’d fallen into a pitiful situation where no one cared about him.
The two girls across from him had jungler kings filling their hearts. They
didn’t care how many lane soldiers they lost, how many times they died, or
even how they’d almost lost all their towers.
His own mid-laner had been bitten to death by Xie He, and Xie He was too
lazy to bother moving to the bottom lane to mess with him. How could he
expect the Little Fatty to come provide support in the bottom lane?
As for his support.
Ha-ha.
That support had been surnamed Wei right from the beginning and had
nothing to do with Kim Sung-hyun!
It wasn’t a big deal to be left alone like an orphan. God Kim could remain
dormant in the bottom lane, waiting until his farm dominated the entire
canyon. When that happened, he would teach them how to act human with
his rain arrows.
However…
Lu Feng started coming over to gank him.
After completely controlling the team rhythm, Lu Feng’s first target was
Kim Sung-hyun.
Gary had been suppressed until he didn’t have any fight left in him by Lu
Feng and had transformed into a frightened bird a long time ago. It would
be difficult for him to stand out again.
On the other hand, Kim Sung-hyun had developed pretty well in the bottom
lane. He showed indicators of being able to take over the game.
Could that be allowed?

If they didn’t send some care over, then how could they face Proud Flower
Kim, who’d raised himself up to be so rich and fat?
His farm was even higher than Close’s.
What was the best way to suppress someone’s farm?
Sending them back to the fountain.
Kim Sung-hyun once again experienced the sense of terror that he hadn’t
felt in a long time.
The fear of being dominated by the shadow thief and death knight!
In fact, in the early days in the Team of Gods Kim Sung-hyun had rarely
met jungler players who could make him concerned. However, he hated all
thieves.
Why?
If he said it out loud, then the proud flower would be shamed to death.
In the history of FTW’s solo matches, Kim Sung-hyun’s win rate against Lu
Feng was only 20%!
In other words, out of ten rounds of solo between the two of them, Kim
Sung-hyun had lost eight times!
What kind of concept was this?
Later on, Old Dog Yuan had sent this ‘report card’ back to South Korea.
When Li Heran saw it, he’d asked, “In a bad state of muscle strain?”
He hadn’t strained any muscles and didn’t have any occupational diseases.
He was healthy and steady. It was just that he was crappy and couldn’t beat
the other side!
This was why Kim Sung-hyun had to beat up all the thieves he came across.
Getting abused by his younger brother was too miserable, and his anger
grew every time he saw a thief.
He couldn’t beat Lulu, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t beat the other
thieves!
That was what Proud Flower Kim thought.
These days, things were great.
However, watching without blinking as the shadow thief rushed in under

the tower, Kim Sung-hyun felt aggrieved to death!
Killing him was alright, dying was alright, but could they not bully people
like this?
Did they have to go under the tower to kill him?
Was it fair to leave the tower again with full health?
And killing him three times in a row, were they still acting reasonable?!
It really was unreasonable.
Lu Feng could easily kill the storm hunter on his own, let alone when he
had a death knight who’d become a support player beside him.
Although Yuan Ze’s equipment was no good and his DPS was bad, he had
the talent advantage and messing with Proud Flower Kim was just a matter
of moving his fingers.
Wei Xiao: “How about…”

Even before he could euphemistically suggest that Captain Yan could go
and protect God Kim, Yan Jiang had already spoken up, “Come to the mid-
lane.”
Wei Xiao had noticed it too. Little Fatty had been chased under the tower
by Xie He and was about to be done for once again.
The shadow thief landed, and the soul warlock that was attached to him sent
out a soul blade. Xie He’s skill was interrupted, and Little Fatty was able to
escape with a sliver of health left.
Wei Xiao had targeted Xie He often in this game, but Xie He was really
hard to gank.
He was an absolute opportunist. He was silent, dared to fight, and was also
able to retreat smoothly.
These contradictory characteristics mixed together to create the world’s top

and most difficult to deal with mid-laner mage king.
He could cut into a crowd of people and take away the other side’s c-
position, then retreat to preserve his life while maximizing his own DPS.
If you wanted to gank Xie He, first take a look at his KDA (kill rate, death
rate, and assist rate)!
So, Wei Xiao hadn’t been able to catch him often during this game, but Xie
He had made a mistake just now.
In fact, it couldn’t be called a mistake. At most, it was a rash attack.

However, Yan Jiang had caught onto this moment, and Wei Xiao didn’t
have time to worry about God Kim anymore. He used a combo and leapt at
Xie He, like a wolf who’d just caught sight of a little white rabbit. He was
exceptionally fierce and each attack he made was fatal.
Wei Xiao sighed, “I finally got to kill God Xie once.”

The scrolling comments: “It’s coming, it’s coming, his enraged buff is now
activated!”
“Little Lunatic Wei is really daring, he even went to anger a lion!”
“How exciting, how exciting! God Xie’s finally going to get serious.”
“Oh hey, this is where it gets interesting. I want to see God Xie show off
with the void mage!”
The new mage talent was called the void mage. It was a Cthulhu-style dark
mage, and his figure wasn’t that of a monster, but that of a slender man. He
was a little thin due to the darkness surrounding him, and there was an
ominous paleness to his skin. The most frightening thing was the totem
behind him––
The evil god’s face was fierce and terrible, while the shadow of Cthulhu’s
hands were graceful. It was difficult to distinguish whether it was the void
controlling Cthulhu’s hand or whether his hand was wrapped around the
void.
His skills were also very crafty, clearly intended to be flashy and powerful.
His first skill, Void Shadow, allowed him to instantly flash behind the
opponent and imprison the enemy for one second.
The second skill, Nightmare Prison, would control the enemy within its
range. The demons in the depths of the void would distort spacing causing
skills to be released backwards.
The third skill was another powerful movement skill, Void Displacement,
which would directly replace the entire confined space within a specified
target. This could be used on the enemy or the player himself.
The ultimate move provided a space for operations. Void incarnation would
activate all marked targets and deal damage according to the number of
stacked marks.
This mechanism was similar to the immortal warlock’s thousand layers of
clouds and the shadow thief’s light arcs. The extent to which this could be
used depended on the player’s level.
Xie He had been playing against Little Fatty earlier and hadn’t needed to
get serious at all. He could send the other side back home just by playing
normally.
Now that he was up against Wei Xiao and Yan Jiang, and it was a one
against two fight, he’d started to grow more serious!
When Wei Xiao went to ambush the mid-lane a second time, Xie He
seemed to already have vision. Nightmare Prison fell from the sky, aiming
right at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao was a little caught off guard, but he dodged aside easily.
Xie He’s following moves made the entire audience suck in a breath of
surprise.
The nightmare prison distorted space, and the void displacement that
reversed skills actually landed right on Wei Xiao’s head!
A black hole fell from the sky, revealing the shadow thief who’d been
stealthed. Countless vines appeared, the special effects gloomy and terrible.
It was as though the shadow thief had been beaten into the abyss of hell.
Wei Xiao had been controlled. There was a chance for Xie He to turn the
tables and kill him!
The soul warlock released the attachment in that spark of a moment, giving
out a heal and a shield and lifting up Wei Xiao’s health, which had fallen all
the way to the bottom of the canyon.
Being attached meant that the soul warlock would use the shadow thief’s
skills, but the shadow thief itself didn’t have any support skills.
However, the soul warlock itself had skills. It was just that the timing for
using it after releasing the attachment was very important. It had to be
accurate, and they had to react quickly enough.
Yan Jiang could naturally achieve this.
Yan Jiang: “Go.”
Wei Xiao: “‘Kay.”
The shadow thief, who had recovered a third of his health, rushed up.
Because he didn’t have enough marks stacked up and his skills had been
interrupted, Wei Xiao could only stack up seven arcs.
Xie He didn’t pause at all. He opened up Void Shadow and quickly pulled
away from Wei Xiao.
The commentator: “This positioning is good. It should be far enough away

from the core range of the seven light arcs.”
“He can hold up! It should only leave him seriously injured and not killed!”
“God Xie still has flash. Is he trying to guard against Wei Xiao’s next wave
of attacks, or is he planning to use it to fight back during the cooldown
period when the shadow thief has no available skills?”
“It would be better to run for his life. The soul warlock has the ability to
deal DPS too…”
It came as a huge surprise to everyone––
System Announcement: FTW.Quiet killed EVE.Xiehe!
Wei Xiao killed Xie He!
What seven light arcs? He’d actually brushed out nine light arcs!
He clearly hadn’t stacked up enough marks, and his skill had clearly been
interrupted. It clearly wasn’t enough for nine light arcs, but… he’d brushed
it out!
The expanded range and increased damage killed the void mage.
Not only were the onlookers stunned, even Wei Xiao was stunned. “Captain
Yan……”
The others might not know, but he was the clearest about what had
happened. It turned out that the soul warlock could even be used like this!
He didn’t have enough marks, so Yan Jiang had compensated for him; his
skills had been interrupted, but Yan Jiang could help him connect them
again.
His nine light arcs had been brushed out with the soul warlock’s support!
Wei Xiao sucked in a breath, and the first words out of his mouth were, “If
you use the soul warlock and attach to my captain, won’t there be ten light
arcs in 5v5!”
Yan Jiang: “You can do it too.”
Wei Xiao: “!”

Ch230 - See you later.
Wei Xiao was really excited the moment that he heard this.
He could!
He could too!
Oh yeah, he could do it too!
The corner of Wei Xiao’s lips curved and for once, his words held a veiled
threat. “That’s right, when I go back, I’ll practice with the soul warlock and
help my captain brush out ten light arcs.”
Close’s teammate was now him. Why would he think about Captain Yan?
He, himself, could help the captain brush out ten light arcs!
Wei Xiao continued, “My thinking was too limited.” He could play the soul
warlock, too!
The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and the more
excited he felt.
FTW had naturally studied routines with the soul warlock as soon as it had
come out. Brother Cai had only trembled. “I can’t, I can’t do it, if you have
me attach to a thief, I’ll perform tiptoeing over the floorboards on the spot!”
The coaching team had a very good understanding of his nature.
They didn’t want to force it.
Of course, the soul warlock wasn’t as terrible as Brother Cai imagined it to

be.
In particular, the full-game BP mode meant that talents could only appear
once in each game, so the team only needed to create one line-up for the
soul warlock. Whoever played the soul warlock would have the chance to
be comfortable with whoever he would be attached to.
Oh…
The situation still ended up being a bit difficult.
The complication didn’t lie in the fact that Brother Cai couldn’t play other
talents, but in how he didn’t want to be the core of the team.
The soul warlock support talent represented a change in the way Glory
could be played.
A line-up where the support was the core was about to be born.
Yan Jiang, Li Heran, and even Cong Yi from the China competition zone:
these outstanding support players had allowed the game developers to see
new possibilities in the game.
The salted fish vegetable was really not suited to holding up the pillars of
support. Wei Xiao was clear on this.
But…
He could do it!
Brother Vegetable couldn’t play the soul warlock, but he could.
As for how? Wei Xiao’s inspiration exploded, and he had a wonderful idea!
What if…
F*ck, it could really work!
Wei Xiao said excitedly, “Thank you, Captain Yan!” This round of guidance
was amazing.
Kim Sung-hyun, who’d listened to the whole process: “…………”
Little Lunatic Wei, you’re really something, your brain circuits are really
special!
Captain Yan’s ‘you can, too’, how could it be anything but telling you that
you can brush out ten light arcs too!
Was there nothing in your eyes but Close?
For some reason, God Kim felt a little choked.
Especially after getting killed by Close yet again!
Not only was he left choking, he was also angry!
“Little Lunatic Wei, if you still don’t come over here, the bottom lane is
going to get cleared out by your captain.” Kim Sung-hyun couldn’t help
speaking up.
Wei Xiao was in a good mood. “Coming!”
He called out to Yan Jiang while he was at it, “Captain Yan, let’s go!”
Yan Jiang attached himself to the shadow thief and answered, “Mm.”
Kim Sung-hyun was really unable to eke out a way to survive any longer.
The first tower might not be safe, but the second one should be fine––Close,
if you dare to go under the second tower to kill Laozi, then Laozi will go to
the new FTW base and hang you up for a beating!
This was impossible. Lu Feng wasn’t like Teacher Yuan, who’d lost his
wisdom – why would he kill himself just to kill a semi-useless proud
flower?
By the time Wei Xiao made it to the bottom lane, Xie He had also arrived to
provide support.
The audience, who could see the scene from God’s perspective, grew
excited.
“Ahhhhh, they’re on the same screen!”
“The Team of Gods are on the same screen! I’ve died and come back to life,
then died again!”
“Little Lunatic Wei is amazing. Other than him, I can’t imagine anyone else
who can fit in so well with the Team of Gods.”
“Old G next door is crying.”
“Well… feeling a billion seconds of distress for Old G. He’s clearly a

professional player who was invited to this casual player competition, but
now…”
“He’s more like a casual player than the actual casual players.”
A 3v3 team fight broke out in the bottom lane.
Xie He’s void mage forcibly started the group fight, and everyone caught in
the Nightmare Prison could only cast spells backwards.
Wei Xiao had experience with it and actually managed to use his skills
backwards, accurately stacking up marks without getting interrupted.
Yan Jiang didn’t use the shadow thief’s skills this time and instead aimed
the soul warlock’s soul blade at Lu Feng.
In a double shadow thief battle, especially when their skill levels were
equivalent, the most likely situation was for both sides to kill each other off.
The light arc range was too wide. No matter who brushed it out or even if
they managed to brush them out at the same time, it would end up being
fatal to everyone else.
The one that Group B had to worry about was Kim Sung-hyun, who’d been
pressed to under half health and was now hiding beneath the second tower.
The nine light arcs might not be able to reach him, but the problem was that
Kim Sung-hyun’s storm hunter was also out of the range of his own attack.
If he couldn’t deal any DPS, then what was the difference whether he was
there or not?
Therefore, Yan Jiang had to hold back Lu Feng and create space for Kim
Sung-hyun and Wei Xiao to survive and deal out DPS.
Group A was in a relatively better situation, Xie He had started up the

group fight, and the Void that he’d spread out provided him with sufficient
DPS opportunities.
Yuan Ze had stacked up on defensive gear. The death knight in its heavy
armor form not only had defense but also high immunity to injury. He
might really be able to hold up under the damage from Wei Xiao’s light
arcs, and as long as he didn’t die, he would be able to send Wei Xiaoxiao
back to the fountain even if he was seriously injured.
So, Group B didn’t try all that hard to contain Wei Xiao. Of course, it was
also difficult to hold him back. Xie He only had soft control skills, which
would disappear with some micro manipulation on Wei Xiao’s part. Yuan
Ze had hard control skills, but he was in heavy armor form and had a short
range, which meant that he was unable to reach the shadow thief that was
under Yan Jiang’s protection.
Yan Jiang stepped out and targeted Close.
The soul blade anticipated his positioning and interrupted one of the
shadow thief’s shadow attacks.
In order to brush out a high amount of arcs, the combo absolutely couldn’t
be broken. This was especially critical when stacking shadow attack marks.
As soon as they were unable to land, then forget brushing out a high
number of light arcs, even a lesser amount of light arcs might not be able to
be brushed out.
The audience’s hearts leapt up to their throats, and they were so nervous
that they were about to explode.
They were once the strongest jungler and support combo, they were once
tacit teammates, and it was Captain Yan who had once understood Close
best…
But now, they were engaged in a life or death duel!
My control skills will no longer help you.
My light arcs will no longer rise up for you.
The blades they held up to face their enemies were filled with murderous
intent.
Playing seriously and sparing no effort was their way of showing each other
respect!
“Holy shit! I could watch this segment a hundred times!”
“He avoided it, he avoided it! Close avoided Yan Jiang’s soul blade!”
“Oh my god, that’s the only time that Captain Yan’s soul blade’s ever
missed!”
“The great demon king is badass!”
“F*ck me, f*ck me, it’s confirmed that Close is number one!”
“Calm down, calm down, it’s just a friendly casual game. Yuan Ze was only
controlled so many times in this game because he wasn’t playing seriously.
Of course, his jungler play is also an affront to the eyes.”
“I don’t care. Close is just strong!”
The fans couldn’t be blamed for this peak in excitement. The audience
abroad had also been surprised by the scene just now.
“I haven’t seen Close’s performance in the team competitions in three years.

Is he in such good shape now?”
“FTW is different this year. It looks a bit like it did three years ago.”
“Close and Quiet are pretty good, but the other three are just bad imitations
of the Team of Gods, right?!”
“Not necessarily, there was a big problem with the Team of Gods…”
“It was really big. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have split up so quickly.”
“I acknowledge Close’s personal strength, but his weaknesses are also

obvious. They don’t show up in a casual game, so we’ll have to wait and
see during the competition.”
As a Close fan, Brother Mouth had to see it all through. Out of fear that the
fans wouldn’t understand this wave of micro operations and positioning, he
provided a serious and detailed description.
He strove to make those who would understand marvel, help those who
only knew a little to see the light, and make those who didn’t understand at
all still feel that it was amazing!
In short, Close was able to evade the soul blade and create a great
opportunity for Group A!
There was a cooldown time for the soul blade. It would be difficult for Yan
Jiang to interrupt Close again.
Brushing out light arcs required time. And once it was ready, who would
wait for your cooldowns to finish?
Looking at this trend…
Once Close’s light arcs were in place, Group B would explode on the spot.
Even if Wei Xiao brushed out a set of light arcs, he would still be shot back
down by this level of damage. If he died first, then they’d really be done
for.
At that critical instant, Yan Jiang possessed Wei Xiao, and the shadow thief,
who had originally been half a step behind, had half a second of accelerated
speed.
Wei Xiao tsked. “How handy.”
He’d long generated the muscle memory for the combo. Wei Xiao didn’t
have to think at all and just had to operate.
The terrible thing about Yan Jiang’s soul warlock was that he didn’t need
you to think. He just needed you to operate.
Because once you started thinking, you would stumble. Once you stumbled,
then there wouldn’t be any more such extreme level operations.
Yan Jiang’s cooperation felt very natural. Even the person he was
cooperating with didn’t feel that they were cooperating with someone else.
This was the strength that had united the Team of Gods.
This was the ability that built lone wolves who played on their own into a
team!
And it was also the nine light arcs exploding at the same time, creating that
suffocating glow that covered the sky.
Even if the audience had already seen it once, it was heady seeing it a
second time.
“It’s too f*cking cool, I even think that these two should be split up into two
teams!”
“Yes, yes, yes, if the two of them are separated, then when the battle of
freedom comes up, damn, the ticket prices will be bid up to sky high
prices!”
“Get out of here! Our Quiet and Close love each other and will always be in
the same team. Don’t jinx it!”
”Upstairs, if Laozi’s Feng Xiao CP breaks up, you’ll need to wash your
neck and wait for me to chop your head off in the middle of the night!”
They might play around and stir up a fuss.
But it was impossible for them to split up.
Once again, it ended in total destruction for both sides.
In the 3v3, all six people died.
Don’t ask, if you ask, then it was because FTW’s inherited shadow thief
was just too much!
The end result of this casual player competition was that Group B won.
In fact, the end result wasn’t important. All they had to do was to play
happily and play brilliantly.
Right from the start, the audience never thought that Group A would win.
Just based on Teacher Yuan’s crappy jungler play, if they really won, then
the two jungler kings in Group B would really be strung up and killed.
Although Close had turned the tide halfway through and regained the
advantage for Group A, it was essentially a three against four game, and
they’d already fallen behind in the early stages. Wei Xiao was immersed in
the game, and Kim Sung-hyun had been fed by the two girls until he’d
become a real daddy.
There would be no heavenly reason in this world if Group A didn’t lose.
They’d guessed that Group A would lose, but they hadn’t expected that they
would lose like this.
Everyone was wiped out in the 3v3.
Gary, who’d been ignored for the whole game, had been working on
another critical matter.
He didn’t join in the group fight and didn’t click on the transmission button.
He didn’t go to provide support, and instead, he took down towers like mad.
The top lane’s first tower, second tower, base tower!
There was still seven seconds left before the fastest resurrection in Group B
when Old G attacked the crystal like crazy and ended the game.
Who would’ve imagined that L&P’s jungler king, the sixth most popular
player in the world, who’d been beaten up and died four times in the first
half of the game, then become ‘invisible’ in the second half, would have
even less of a sense of existence than the casual players.
But it was precisely this big fellow who’d ended up determining the
winners and losers in this game after his teammates and opponents finished
a fierce round of fighting and wiped themselves out.
“Old G is the winner of life!”
“L&P’s deputy general!”
“The Team of Gods fought, and Gary won.”
The scrolling comments had fun with the adaptation of old proverbs.
Wei Xiao was filled with disdain in the team voice chat, “Old G, what’s
going on with you!”
Gary: “???”
Wei Xiao: “We haven’t played enough yet!”
Gary: “…………”
Sorry, he’d played enough. He’d really been beaten up enough!
Wei Xiao then looked at Yan Jiang. “Captain Yan, I won’t lose next time.”
Group B had won. Wei Xiao had won, but he was saying that he wouldn’t
lose next time.
Yan Jiang turned his head to look at him, then quietly whispered a few
words.
Wei Xiao: “See you later!”
The parties involved didn’t feel much about it, but Kim Sung-hyun was
stunned.
See you later.
See you later!
Was Yan Jiang saying it to Wei Xiao, or was he saying it to Close?
Or maybe…
He was saying it to FTW.
In his heart, Kim Sung-hyun felt a little upset.
Three years ago, he’d been the one who wanted to leave the most.
But who’d been the one who wanted to leave the least?
Close, Yan Jiang……
In the past FTW, how much had Yan Jiang paid out in order to twist
together this group of problematic youngsters?
Ch231 - The words that he was
unable to say out loud, he wanted
to say them through...
The opening ceremony for the global competition came to a beautiful end.
There weren’t any regular games that day, but everyone was looking
forward to the upcoming competition.
The stage was great, the special effects were cool, and the players had
displayed absolute strength.
The scent of gunpowder was in the air even before the war had begun.
This summer was destined to set everyone’s blood boiling!
Wei Xiao and Lu Feng stepped off the stage together. They were still in the
aisle when Wei Xiao spoke in a whisper, “The soul warlock is so
interesting.”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “Captain Yan’s soul warlock inspired me…”
He chattered on for a long time, talking about the details of the casual
player competition just now.
Sensing that a camera was coming, Lu Feng touched the back of his hand
lightly.
Wei Xiao turned his head and shot a big smile at the camera.
The camera quickly snapped a shot of FTW’s two jungler kings.
The two people stood one in front of the other. One had a face as cold as
frost, while the other had a sunny disposition, but they looked unexpectedly
harmonious when they stood together––
Like a gradual spring day with melting frost and snow, dyeing the sky with
infinite vitality.
After that came a short interview.
As a ‘casual player’, Wei Xiao naturally wasn’t invited.
Yan Jiang, Close, and Xie He had never participated in such activities.
Yuan Ze didn’t mind, and he didn’t feel any awkwardness after playing
jungler so badly. He stood there and smiled calmly. On the other hand, the
host blushed, and her heart pounded. She didn’t even dare to tease him.
There was also Old G, whose bad Chinese made the whole audience laugh
loudly. The audience in the scrolling comments also screamed, “G Darling,
how can a big man like you be so cute!”
Someone replied, “It’s because Teacher Yuan trained him up well!”
Teacher Yuan was really good at such things. To the left was his old
teammate Proud Flower Kim, and to the right was his current teammate,
Big G.
They were all ‘great students’ that he’d taught.
Captain Yuan was a winner of life! If he wasn’t so crappy at playing

jungler, he’d be perfect.
In the car on the way back to the base, Wei Xiao was still talking about the
soul warlock.
Brother Cai’s skin tensed up when he heard the words ‘soul warlock,’ and
he sat there trembling in the shotgun seat out of fear that Wei Xiao would
say, “Practice the shadow thief, hidden thief, berserker thief, immortal thief,
immortal warlock, soul warlock, storm hunter, and death knight!”
Yeah, Brother Cai had scared himself to death!
Unexpectedly, Wei Xiao’s next sentence was, “Tomorrow, I’ll go visit

Captain Yan and learn from him!”
After chattering the whole time, Wei Xiao finally discovered that the
captain wasn’t in a great mood, “Captain?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “What’s the matter…”
It couldn’t be that he was in a bad mood after losing the game, right?
Lu Feng: “Nothing much.”
Wei Xiao: “If Yuan Ze had played even a little more seriously, you guys
wouldn’t have lost!”
Finally, he added another sentence, “If you were in the same group as
Captain Yan, then you’d really… wu…”
Lu Feng kissed him.
Wei Little Xiao, who had skin as thick as city walls, blushed!
He couldn’t say a single word, and his brain was buzzing.
What was going on…
Normally, the two of them played it completely safe outside, and it was
only when Wei Xiao kicked up a big fuss that Lu Feng would find a place
where there was no one around to coax him a bit.
In the car like this, with other people…
Wei Xiao: “!”
Xiang Liu, who was in the driver seat at the front, and Bai Cai, who was in
the shotgun seat: “……”
Look forward, steadily! Definitely don’t turn back! There was no rearview
mirror in the car! They couldn’t see what was going on behind them at all!
Wei Xiao secretly hooked his fingers around Lu Feng’s little finger.
Lu Feng flipped his hand up to grasp Wei Xiao’s.
Wei Xiao: “Captain……”
Lu Feng: “Rest for a while.”
After being kissed, Wei Little Xiao didn’t have any thoughts of Captain
Yan’s soul warlock or any line-ups in his head.
All that was left was a pounding heart and a boyfriend that he liked from all
perspectives.
When they arrived at the base, Xiang Liu said, “Late night snack…”
Wei Xiao: “I’m not hungry.”
Lu Feng told Xiang Liu, “You guys eat.”
Xiang Liu: “Okay.”
He’d been a light bulb the whole way back. Xiang Liu himself felt that he
was too dazzling to the eye!
When Bai Cai went to bring Brother Soy back, Brother Soy sniffed at him
again and again, “┗|｀O′|┛ao~~”
Daddy’s scent was there, but where was daddy!
Brother Cai rubbed its doggy head. “Be more self aware.”
Us single dogs should be more self aware (Feeling sour? It would be

strange if he wasn’t sour)!
As soon as they went upstairs and closed the door, Wei Xiao leaned over
and kissed Lu Feng.
Lu Feng: “Don’t make trouble.”
Wei Xiao stared at him. “You kissed me first.”
Wei Xiao: “Who told you to… cough, fortunately, it wasn’t inside your
Cullinan.”
It was okay when they didn’t mention the Cullinan, but the air heated up
once they did.
Wei Xiao had never been the patient type. He deliberately leaned into Lu
Feng’s ear and called out to him, “Captain~”
Lu Feng’s eyes were hooded.
Wei Xiao kissed him. “I want…”
His mouth was blocked. Wei Xiao narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with
arousal.
They’d just finished playing in the canyon.
And carried on playing in bed.
It was delightful and satisfying either way. There was no language that
could describe how happy Wei Xiao was.
Wei Xiao leaned against Lu Feng bonelessly and asked Lu Feng to feed
him.
The food was all light and easy to digest, and Wei Xiao ate happily.
Just before it was time to go to bed, Wei Xiao started thinking about proper
business again. “Oh yeah, Captain.”
Lu Feng was also getting ready to sleep. “Hm?”
Wei Xiao brought it up again, “Captain Yan’s soul warlock inspired me…
wu…”
He’d been kissed again!
Wei Xiao opened his eyes wide. If he still didn’t understand, then he
wouldn’t be the clever and smart Wei Little Xiao that he was.
How could Wei Xiao sleep? He turned over and sat up, then blinked.
“Could it be…”
Lu Feng pulled him over and surrounded him.
Wei Xiao’s voice was as sweet as honey. “Captain, are you jealous?”
Although he knew that his captain’s nickname had a tendency to switch

from great demon king to great vinegar king, but…
Lu Feng buried his face against Wei Xiao’s neck, his voice low and stuffy,
“Don’t think about other people.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng repeated, “Sleep.”
There would be something really wrong if Wei Xiao was able to sleep now!
Such a lovely and cute captain made his heart, liver, and lungs all melt!
God, even the big fanfiction writers didn’t dare to write about the great
demon king like this!
Only Wei Xiao got to see this kind of Close. It was over…
He was so happy that he wanted to explode!
Wei Xiao desperately tried to press the corners of his mouth down, trying
not to let them rise up towards the sun.
“What’s there to be jealous about?”
Wei Xiao: “Captain Yan attaches great importance to me…”
The hand wrapped around his waist tightened.
Wei Xiao laughed. “But Captain Yuan and God Kim are both very good to
me too.”
Lu Feng was silent.
Wei Xiao rubbed at the back of his hand and whispered, “They and I are
chance acquaintances. It’s because of you that they take care of me.”
The careless and bold Wei Xiao, who seemed to be able to get along with
everyone, was actually very clear on how things worked.
Whether it was Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun, Xie He, who wasn’t good at
communicating, or the enigmatic Yan Jiang, they all paid a lot of attention
to Wei Xiao.
Was there anything about Wei Xiao that was worth their attention?
Wei Xiao didn’t think so.

There were many excellent professional players, and he wasn’t good
enough to attract the attention of so many peak level players.
In the final analysis, the reason for the current situation was Lu Feng.
Even if they didn’t know about the relationship between Wei Xiao and Lu
Feng, they all knew how important Wei Xiao was.
He was very important to both Close and FTW.
Regardless of whether it was Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun, or Xie He and Yan
Jiang…
Three years had passed. There were many things that couldn’t be said, and
many things that could no longer be done.
The past wouldn’t come back, and all that could be seen was the present.
Wei Xiao was Close’s current teammate.
“Captain…” Wei Xiao turned around and rubbed against him. “They all
really…”
Care about you.
These last three words were spoken very, very lightly. They were like a cool
breeze on a summer night, inadvertently solving all the troubles in one’s
heart.
Lu Feng hugged him.
Wei Xiao heard him whisper quietly, “I know.”
Wei Xiao’s heart suddenly softened into a pool of water.
There was no need to say more.
Wei Xiao understood Lu Feng.

From beginning to end, from three years ago until now, from the breaking
up of the Team of Gods, through the entirety of FTW’s bumpy road…
When faced with teammates leaving, partners who left without saying
goodbye, and fragmented homes, Close, who’d been left to support
everything on his own, had never blamed anyone.
These big brothers all felt guilty about leaving Close alone.
But the last thing Close wanted was their guilt.
It wasn’t anger or pride. He simply didn’t want them to bear such a heavy
burden.
The past was long gone.
There was no right or wrong.
Close didn’t want to bind anyone with the past.
In these past three years of globals, he’d been very eager to rush into the top
eight and was very much looking forward to meeting them there.
The words that he was unable to say out loud, he wanted to say them
through a fierce battle in the arena.
Unfortunately, there hadn’t been a chance to do so.
FTW couldn’t make it into the global team competition, and the others had
given up on the singles.
Wei Xiao’s eyes were red. “There’s a chance this time.”
Lu Feng didn’t say anything, but the corners of his lips tightened.
Wei Xiao kissed his eyes and said softly, “We’ll definitely be able to do it
this time.”
Break into the top eight, charge into the top four, and win the world
championship.
Not just to prove themselves.
It was more about telling them––
There had been no harm, no pain, and no one had been in the wrong.
Staying behind and leaving were both difficult choices.
There was no need to feel guilty or to feel regret.
It’s all good.
From facing that disaster until now, they were still able to step out in glory.
***
There were eight games in total for the 16 to 8. As the host team, FTW
would be taking part in the first day of the official games.
There were three games on the first day. The first game was between Y1,
and the ST competition zone’s champion team.
FTW was slated for the second game. They arrived early and watched the
game while making their preparations backstage.
Chen Feng: “I wonder what Y1 will take in the first match.”
The battle of freedom had already become the biggest attraction for the
game.
Tang Chen: “The medicine warlock?”
Bai Cai’s eyes were sharp. “They locked it in!”
Chen Feng mused, “Y1 isn’t easy to provoke this year.”

Brother Cai sighed. “Y1 isn’t easy to provoke every year…”
However, he knew what Chen Feng meant. Y1 would be particularly

difficult to deal with this year.
Glory obviously required change. If there was any team who centered
around their support as their core, then Y1 was a well-deserved first.
They’d already been strong enough, but now…
A medicine warlock and a soul warlock…
Just based on these two matches, if their opponent’s mentality collapsed

even just slightly in the third match, they would be crushed 3:0.
The team from ST obviously collapsed.
They’d been badly beaten in the first match, then beaten up again until their
scalps were numb in the second match. By the third match…
The audience couldn’t bear to look at it directly!
The venue, which could hold tens of thousands of people, was filled with
the sound of booing.
It was disappointing that such a large-scale event had played out like this.
Fortunately, there was a big event coming up next.
FTW vs IN!
The audience began to get excited as soon as the two teams appeared.
IN had really found trouble for themselves. They could have picked anyone
to offend, yet they insisted on going for the local competition zone’s
champion team.
Even without mentioning the FTW fans, even the professional haters had
stopped work tonight in order to consistently point their spearheads
outwards instead. They wished that they could all upgrade their English to
CET-8 levels and flame IN on the foreign live broadcast rooms.
The host certainly wouldn’t mention these things directly during the
interview prior to the game. Instead, they asked implicitly, “Are you
confident?”
Wei Xiao smiled slightly. “There’s a surprise for everyone.”
The host: “Oh?”
The audience had already started shouting, “3:0! 3:0!”
Wei Xiao certainly wouldn’t talk carelessly on such an important occasion.

He smiled like a fox. “We won’t leave anyone disappointed.”
Alright then, that was blatant enough.
3:0 or something like that, it really wouldn’t be a surprise.
During the blind hero selection part of the first match, after Wei Xiao
locked in the soul warlock, the audience finally reacted, “Holy sh*t! FTW
is going to stir things up!”
The author has something to say: The globals are here~

Ch232 - What they wanted was the
world championship!
Talents were still selected one by one in the battle of freedom.
Although neither side could see what the other side had chosen, the
audience could see it clearly with God’s perspective.
The audience was stirred up for a while when Wei Xiao took the soul
warlock, but then they all shared a similar sentiment:
“Little Lunatic Wei’s acting up again!”
“Darling, don’t act up! It’s the globals!”
The audience in the live broadcast studio also comforted each other after
the scare:
“Sorry, sorry, my cub is a little playful.”
“Don’t panic, don’t panic, just wait for the great demon king to step up, and
the little lunatic will start behaving!”
“Q Cub, stay steady, your captain will kill you if your hand shakes, and you
lock it in.”
“F*ck!”
He really f*cking locked it in!
There was no talking about advantages or priorities during blind selection

mode. Everyone would basically take the talent they were planning to use,
and there was no need to snatch it up for others.
Once Wei Xiao locked in the soul warlock, the mentality of the fans
collapsed, and they all started screaming.
When it came to being surprised, they’d first be shocked, then figure out the
rest.
Wei Xiao had kept his word. Without talking about whether or not it was a
pleasant surprise, he shocked everyone first.
Some fans immediately tried to come up with an explanation on their own,

“About that… can talents be exchanged during the blind selection mode?”
“They can, they can. Wei Xiao will definitely switch it up with Brother Cai.
Look, Brother Cai took the power thief!”
“I don’t quite understand. They’re using the power thief instead of the
shadow thief in the battle of freedom?”
“Close locked in the shadow thief ahhhhh!”
“Damn, so they’re going to start with a double thief line-up?”
“Oh my god, I’m all for this! Little Lunatic! Big sister forgives you!”
The audience couldn’t be blamed for thinking like this. Wei Xiao’s ‘tactics’
were too shocking, and even the commentators, who could see a hint of
what was happening, didn’t dare to think in that direction.
Judging from the talents that FTW selected, there didn’t seem to be a
problem.
Shadow thief, power thief, soul warlock, immortal warlock, storm hunter.
Like hell there wasn’t a problem!
This problem was so big that it was earth shaking, okay?!
What kind of talents were these?

Light arcs, thousand layers of clouds, stepping on raindrops…
Was this Glory bungee jumping?!
Was Bai Cai that badass? Could he use the soul warlock and attach to these
demonic talents?
Had Brother Cai gone crazy, or had FTW gone crazy, or did they feel that
the audience in the China competition zone couldn’t hold up knives
anymore?
It was a knockout game in a global competition. Every game would be

thrilling, okay!
Don’t suffer major setbacks due to carelessness, darlings!
It wasn’t that everyone looked down on the white cabbage.
However, looking at the support players from all over the world…
Oh, be more confident. There were only a few players in the whole world
who could use all of these talents skillfully, okay!
Close was one of them.
Quiet was another one.
Other than the two of them, who else was there?
FTW already had two all-rounder players. There couldn’t be a third!
Brother Cai, wake up, if you’ve been threatened, just cry loudly!
Even if it was the talent he’d selected, no one in the audience had the
slightest suspicion that Wei Xiao would really be the one playing the soul
warlock.
He must be messing around.

A jungler using the soul warlock?
How was he going to kill jungle creeps? How was he going to control the
dragon? How was he going to snatch up farm and lead the rhythm?
No matter how whimsical their thinking was, they didn’t think that Wei
Xiao would be using the soul warlock.
Even if the soul warlock was using the jungler open skill for the game.
That was normal, there were support heroes who took the jungler skill in
order to go into the other side’s jungle zone or to help the jungler control
their jungle. Teams with jungler cores used them occasionally, and it wasn’t
strange.
Until…
“Holy shit, why aren’t they switching talents?”
“Countdown! Five seconds! Why haven’t Wei Xiao and Bai Cai traded
talents?”
“What’s the situation? Did the game freeze?”
“It can’t be that they plan to switch at the last second, right? Little Lunatic
Wei, don’t mess around, we know you have amazing hand speed, but don’t
challenge our hearts like this!”
“It’s over, it’s over, the map has started loading!”
“Did they switch? Wei Xiao and Bai Cai switched, right? It can’t be Bai Cai
playing jungler!”
“I have the feeling that they didn’t change…”
“Holy shit, is something going to happen at the start of the competition?”
“And they were still talking about 3:0, they’re f*cking going to get crushed
instead.”
“My heart exploded. If FTW loses here, I’m going to take Wei Xiao down
with me, damn it!”
“They can’t have made such a low level mistake, right?”
“This hater doesn’t want to lose to IN! What the hell is this! My face was
beaten swollen by this fool!”
“It won’t happen, it won’t happen. At most, it’ll just be 3:1!”
The live audience exploded, and the fans in the live broadcast room went
crazy. A crowd of foreign watchers were waiting to see them make a joke of
themselves, and the commentators froze for a moment and almost forgot
their words!
If Glory’s Mic Explosion King could do a ‘live broadcast’, then these big
guys wouldn’t have to be scared into tears.
FTW’s internal team chat was very smooth.
There was no error.
There was no slip of the hand.
Forgetting to switch talents was something that would never happen.
They’d decided to do this right from the start, and they’d discussed it for a
long time.
This matter originated from the opening game.
After coaxing his boyfriend, Wei Xiao finally shared his full thoughts.
Even without mentioning others, Lu Feng himself was stunned. “Use the
soul warlock as a jungler?”
Lu Feng: “When it comes to rhythm…”

Wei Xiao’s eyes were crystal bright. “There’s Brother Cai!”
Bai Cai trembled. “I can’t, I can’t, if you have me play jungler, I won’t be
able to play out even one tenth of Yuan Ze’s skill.”
Yes, Teacher Yuan has become a jungler ‘benchmark’. One tenth of Teacher
Yuan was too modest, and Wei Xiao comforted him, “One tenth is too
exaggerated. I think you can manage at least one fifth.”
Bai Cai: “……………”
You might as well have not said anything!
Chen Feng frowned and thought about it.
Lu Feng had already understood what Wei Xiao meant. “We’ll have Bai Cai
fight jungler for you before level six?”
Bai Cai was still confused. “How do I help you?”
Wei Xiao looked at him. “You can use the power thief.”
Bai Cai: “!” Wasn’t this f*cking having Laozi play jungler ahhhhh, Laozi
didn’t want to ahhhhh!
Wei Xiao was worthy of being the person who understood the vegetable the
best. He knew Bai Cai’s hero pool even better than Bai Cai himself.
The two of them had been together since they had started playing Glory.
Without mentioning their early years together, later, after Brother Cai had
joined FTW, Wei Xiao had become an accompanying player for other
professional players, and he’d also been Bai Cai’s accompanying trainer.
Asleep, Moonlit, and Eurostar-star had only played solo with Wei Xiao,
while Brother Cai had experienced everything.
When Wei Xiao played jungler, Brother Cai played support.

When Wei Xiao played mid-lane, Brother Cai played support.
When Wei Xiao played bottom lane, Brother Cai played support…
It was even to the point that when Wei Xiao played support, Brother Cai
was also a support.
That last point was the key point. As a professional support player, Bai
Caicai had a dream. That dream was that he wanted to have a jungler king
play support for him.
Wei Xiao rarely played support, but when he did, it was to coax a certain
vegetable.
There was no way to prevent the way that Brother Cai’s fans from his live
broadcast room especially loved watching the jungler king spoil his ‘wife’,
so Wei Xiao had played it quite a lot.
Brother Cai only had to cry to Wei Xiao, “Old Wei, you don’t know how it
is, FTW is so miserable now. Close had to sell two cars in order to feed the
family! My live broadcast gifts are also shared with the club. I don’t want to
get rich for myself, it’s all for FTW, for your male god Close!”
Brother Cai: “I’m not proud to say it, but Close had no choice but to solo
with others in order to arrange training matches for us…”
These words were enough to stab Wei Xiao to death. Let alone helping him
play support, he’d be okay with being beat up!
However, Brother Cai was really crappy. His jungler was an affront to the
eyes.
Losing the game affected the effectiveness of his live broadcast.
For the sake of gifts that didn’t have much to do with him, Wei Xiao
thought up a countermeasure.
Although Brother Cai used a thief, Wei Xiao would still be the one to
control the rhythm. Brother Cai didn’t actually have any objections to being
a toolman.
After their winning rate improved, Bai Cai really became addicted to this
way of playing. He couldn’t use any particularly difficult talents, and he
was unexpectedly good at using functional talents like the power thief.
The power thief had four skills, three of which were control skills. This was
an extremely good talent for Brother Cai, who was a professional control
support.
So…
Brother Cai was unexpectedly skilled at using the power thief. He really
was able to use this talent.
Chen Feng looked over. “Caicai’s power thief?”
Bai Cai nodded stiffly. “It’s usable.”
Chen Feng raised his chin. Bai Cai understood what he meant and opened
up the training camp to play a game.
Chen Feng: “Not bad, there’s some skill here.”
Bai Cai looked up with eyes filled with tears.
Wei Xiao said excitedly, “Brother Cai can use the power thief and help me
clear the jungle creeps before level six. When the soul warlock has
attachment, then everything will be easy.”
Chen Feng thought it over.
Lu Feng’s eyes held a trace of a smile. “It’s possible.”
Lu Feng: “I’ll use the shadow thief to make up for the damage.”
Wei Xiao grew more energetic and spoke endlessly, speaking on and on
until the little ones in the training room were all left in a daze.
Ning Zhehan: “In that case, I’ll use the immortal warlock!”
Having two immortal warlocks in the canyon would be amazing.
Yue Wenle: “I’ll use the storm hunter.”
Two storm hunters stepping on raindrops together, what kind of scene

would that be?
Chen Feng: “Come and give it a try.”
They didn’t have to look for anyone else. They picked out one of their
brother teams to test it out. After playing four training matches together,
Money was convinced. “Who came up with this routine?”
Wei Xiao: “Hey.”
Money: “………………”
He was convinced, thoroughly convinced!
What kind of devilish tactics were these? Anyone who tried it would go
bald.
And the most deadly thing was that this tactic…
Even globally, there were really only a few people who could use it well.
Could Yan Jiang do it?
Yan Jiang might not have the same effect with it as Wei Xiao did!
After all, the little lunatic was famous for his rhythm control. He’d always
liked biting people all over the map, and now, he’d become impossible to
stop!
As for today’s battle of freedom, Chen Feng had naturally held a meeting
early on to discuss whether or not to use this new tactic.
Chen Feng tended towards stability. “I suggest that we play conventionally.

Double thieves is good, but the soul warlock should be set aside for now.”
After all, it was an elimination system, and IN had provoked the entire
China competition zone. FTW couldn’t afford to make mistakes.
Wei Xiao: “I think we can use the soul warlock.”
Chen Feng frowned. “Don’t mess around, play steadily…”
Wei Xiao wasn’t being irrational. He’d thought it over carefully. “We have
to practice it.”
Chen Feng: “Using the globals to train?” His voice was higher than before.
Wei Xiao really dared to nod.
Chen Feng’s frown deepened, and he was about to get angry.
Wei Xiao continued, “The 16 to eight round is our only chance.”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Feng calmed down instantly.
“The elimination system is really very dangerous, but do we only want to

get into the top eight?”
“We only have four games. Who will we meet in the eight into four? Who
will we meet for the four into two? And there’s no need to mention the
finals.”
“If we don’t practice this line-up now, then we really won’t have a chance.”
“Could it be that we have to wait until the later games when we’ve come to
a dead end before giving it a try?”
Wei Xiao’s every word and sentence shot straight into everyone’s heart.
16 into eight was really their only chance to try it out.
This line-up was very unique. Calling it FTW’s killer trump card wouldn’t
be overboard.
However, they didn’t have any more time left. They didn’t have any
experience with it in competitions, and it was difficult to say if there were
any defects in their tactics.
If they didn’t dare to use it in the 16 into eight, then would they dare to use
it later?
If they were afraid even when facing IN, then what about when they faced
the Team of Gods?
Would the players be prepared enough when they decided to use this line-up
later on?
Wei Xiao’s last sentence shocked Chen Feng–-
“Coach, if we want to win against the Team of Gods, then we have to do

our best.”
What did the top eight amount to, what did the top four amount to? What
was the runner-up?
What they wanted was the world championship!

Ch233 - Glory obscure knowledge:
there are three junglers in FTW!
translator: xiin editor: apricot
These words shocked everyone. Ning Zhehan said, “Practice it! There’s still
a lot of room for improvement in this line-up!”
Yue Wenle: “Yes, we have to seize the opportunity.” They really didn’t have
much time.
Chen Feng finally agreed, “Alright.”
Winning the championship wasn’t easy. They had to do everything possible.

This soul warlock line-up was a surprise trump card for FTW, and they had
to have firm control over it!
Moreover, it was only the first game. Even if they lost, he believed that
these cubs would still be able to win three games in a row and defeat IN.
So, let alone the unsuspecting audience, even the FTW coaching team was
worried.
Losers were always in the wrong.
These so-called tactics were only worthy of being called tactics if they won!
Come on! Chen Feng had already written out a draft Weibo post. If they
lost, then he would carry the blame and not let the fans flame the players.
The players on the stage were quite relaxed.
Wei Xiao was still in the mood to tease Brother Cai, “Add oil, jungler
king!”
Bai Cai: “……………”
He was more likely to spill oil!
Bai Cai didn’t know what kind of evil he’d done in his previous life that
resulted in him meeting Little Lunatic Wei in this life.
His salted fish life was drifting away!
This was the life of getting put up on the shelf to work and being torn to
pieces by FTW’s violent fans if he wasn’t able to pull this off.
After taking a deep breath, both sides entered the canyon!
On IN’s side, they were able to see FTW’s line-up during the game loading
process.
Their support was stunned, “This is… their hand slipped?”
Mid-laner Otee narrowed his eyes, “Using the soul warlock to play
jungler?”
Their jungler’s tone wasn’t very good. “Who are they looking down on!”
Their ADC sneered, “Are they treating us like we’re training soldiers? The
China competition zone is really crazy this year.”
FTW and IN had some grudges between them.
The atmosphere on the foreign side of the internet was messier than it was
in China. The competition zones were all mixed together, and there were a
huge number of people who just wanted to watch the excitement.
Although Otee had provoked them first, the China competition zone had
also fought back hard, making them act even more shamelessly.
Coupled with those who wanted to fish in muddy waters, there were even
more people who wanted to see them make a joke out of themselves.
When it came to this game, IN was 100% serious.
In order to win against FTW, they’d take out everything they had. They
weren’t afraid of exposing their tactics, and they wouldn’t dare to keep
anything hidden. They’d taken a strong line-up that had over a 90% win
rate for the battle of freedom.
They wanted to win, and they had to win.
If they lost, they’d be mocked like dogs when they returned to their
competition zone.
There was no way back. Even if the other players from IN objected to
Otee’s stupid behavior, it was already done and they had to go on.
They had to fix their external problems before tidying up internally. This
game was one that they had to win!
They were well prepared and in excellent condition. They’d taken out their
guardian line-up for the blind selection in the first game, but unexpectedly,
the other side was playing so strangely!
Otee: “Don’t underestimate the enemy. It might be a trap.”
IN was very cautious. Even when everyone in the audience was booing
FTW, they didn’t make any rash actions.
They played how they should as every game they won was a game gained.
The players from IN had been able to kill their way out of their own
competition zone, which meant that they had some level of skill.
Even the directors seemed to prefer FTW. They frequently switched the
cameras to FTW and paid attention to what they were doing.
The audience in the live broadcast studio had recovered:
“Calm down, calm down, with the great demon king, FTW won’t mess
around.”
“Yes, yes, yes, calm down a bit! Just think about the casual player
competition from before. Little Lunatic Wei grew even stronger with
Captain Yan’s blessing and was explosively badass.”
“But the problem is that there’s nothing wrong with Captain Yan taking the
soul warlock as a support player. Wei Xiao… he’s the core DPS dealer in
the team!”
“I don’t think there’s any need to panic. There’s no problem with Close’s
shadow thief. As long as Brother Cai’s power thief isn’t too crappy, Wei
Xiao can attach to both thieves.”
“That’s reasonable. Use the power thief for control and the shadow thief for
damage. FTW has really come up with some ideas!”
“Let me say quietly, Wei Xiao’s immortal warlock and storm hunter are also
very powerful.”
“Holy shit…”
“Holy shit?!”
One sentence woke up the dreamers. The fans who’d been scared by this
line-up finally thought it over.
FTW’s line-up had appeared too abruptly. They didn’t know much about the
soul warlock, and coupled with their inherent prejudice, they hadn’t thought
in this direction at all.
Now…
The commentators had already started discussing it, “Will we be able to see
a double set of light arcs in this game?”
“Maybe not only that. Quiet’s immortal warlock can easily brush out a
thousand layers of clouds.”
Commentator Sister Qi was more conservative, “The soul warlock

mechanism limits combos to only 50% of its real effect. It won’t be easy to
brush out a thousand layers of clouds.”
Brother Mouth was also afraid of jinxing Wei Xiao to death. He continued,
“He can put a hold on such extreme operations, but as long as he can play
conventionally, it’ll still be very valuable.”
Sister Qi: “The most worrisome thing is mixing up the skills. I’ve practiced
with the soul warlock after it was released, and there’s a whole string of
skills after the attachment. It made me dizzy looking at it; also, I can only
move where my teammate moves. If it’s not the positioning that I want,
then the skills will miss…”
The commentators were talking constantly about the difficulty level

involved with the soul warlock, which was also a way of giving respect to
FTW.
In case they performed poorly or had bad operations and made mistakes, it
wouldn’t be the player’s problem. The mechanism for the soul warlock was
very difficult, and time was clearly required for the players to familiarize
themselves with it.
The audience members’ hearts felt like it was suspended in the air. They
were very afraid of FTW capsizing.
The two sides who’d entered the canyon had just started clearing out the
jungle and lanes. The audience stands were very quiet, and even the
scrolling comments had decreased in frequency. The sisters who were there
to ship CPs were quiet, while the haters were building up strength. There
were only a few rational fans left analyzing the situation.
IN’s jungler had rushed into FTW’s jungle zone!
The voices of the commentators lifted slightly, and the audience didn’t even
dare to breathe too loudly.
It was over, it was over. Could Brother Cai deal with it? How was Wei
Xiao’s soul warlock?
IN’s jungler was a berserker thief, which was super powerful in the early
stages, and the daddy-level support elemental shaman. When these two
talents invaded the other side’s jungle in the early stages, whoever they
fought would die.
Wei Xiao: “They’re here.”
Bai Cai sat up as straight as a pen, “Mm.”
At the moment when the berserker thief appeared, the power thief’s ground
stab shot out.
IN’s jungler wasn’t bad. He shifted slightly and avoided it, while the
elemental shaman behind him tossed out a control totem at the power thief.
He released a skill that exposed vision. If the power thief got controlled,
then FTW would end up in a miserable situation.
In this case, it was usually the support who first… oh, FTW’s support was
now the power thief. But the problem was that the support didn’t have any
DPS right now!
The audience went crazy again, “It’s over, it’s over, it’s really no good, they
were really just messing around for fun!”
“They’re done for, they’re done for. I don’t dare watch this game anymore
ahhhh!”
Just when everyone thought that the power thief would get locked in by the
elemental shaman and killed by the berserker thief, Bai Cai attacked instead
of retreating and stabbed the berserker thief with a long sword.
No vision?
They’d put in vision a long time ago!
IN’s jungler was surprised, not having expected that the other side’s power
thief would be so strong.
The elemental shaman said, “Don’t be scared, it’s just a support.”
It wasn’t that he looked down on supports, but it was because he was a

support that he knew that a support player’s game awareness was very
different from that of a DPS player.
Bai Cai had taken the power thief, but he still had the game awareness of a
support. This was the same as sending himself up to die.
The berserker thief calmed down. This made sense. When faced with a
power thief played by a support, what was there to be afraid of?
IN’s First Blood was guaranteed!
Bai Cai had gone out with nothing but straw sandals and had very low DPS.
He stabbed the berserker thief, but was only able to scrape off a quarter of
his health.
But he attacked again, and because he hit him in the side, he was able to
land a critical hit!
The audience made a ‘wow’ sound.
No one had any expectations for Bai Cai’s power thief, the commentators
included.
However, his operation right now had been very detailed, and it wasn’t
something that could be played out casually.
The scrolling comments were even more surprised. “Brother Cai’s not bad!”
“Glory obscure knowledge: there are three junglers in FTW!”
“Wasn’t he supposed to be a little wife? How’d he turn out to be so fierce!”
“I’m ready, I’m ready, charge, Brother Cai!”
The director changed the scene to a close-up of Bai Cai. The thin youth who
always liked to laugh had his lips pursed as he stared at the screen. He
looked focused and serious.
“Old Wei!”
“Coming.” Wei Xiao’s careless voice sounded out. A soul blade flew out
towards the berserker thief and landed perfectly!
Bai Cai rushed up again, landing another side attack. His angle was very
accurate leading to another critical hit!
If there was anyone who had said that Bai Cai was like a blind cat killing a
dead mouse on the first hit, then those people were now silenced.
He could play.
Bai Cai really knew how to play the power thief!
The fans screamed as one. “Is Brother Cai going to take First Blood?”
“Is my vegetable rising up!”
“Don’t ask me why I keep rubbing my eyes!”
“I have to rub them! This isn’t a f*cking illusion, right?”
IN obviously hadn’t expected this support player to play the power thief so
well.
This level of micro-operations couldn’t be performed by any ordinary

casual player.
The berserker thief stopped taking him lightly and wanted to retreat.
The elemental shaman also traded his health in for an acceleration totem in
the hopes that the berserker thief could escape.
However, the soul warlock was already lurking in a good position.

There were two kinds of soul blades. One could send the opponent flying,
while the other would deal DPS from a distance.
The former was an important control skill, and the second skill, for a
support player, was the skill that they tossed out when waiting for other
skills to cooldown and deal some DPS.
But…
Wei Xiao’s soul warlock wasn’t a support.
The base DPS value was very low, so he’d gone out with a small wooden
staff that added over 100 points of spell damage.
The berserker thief who’d been beaten into low health by Brother Cai saw
the soul blade flying towards him, but he instinctively didn’t think too much
of it.
The blue soul blade wouldn’t send him flying, and based on the soul
warlock’s damage, it might not break through his defenses at all, so…
The elemental shaman: “Get away!”
But it was too late.
That half a second of hesitation meant that the soul blade had already
smashed into the berserker thief’s face.
The skill had hit 100% accurately, and the damage value appeared over the
berserker thief’s head––291.
The berserker thief’s heart went cold.
First Blood!
FTW.Quiet killed IN.Lewis.

Who would’ve dared to think that FTW could win an advantage and First
Blood with such a stupid line-up?!
Fierce applause broke out at the venue, and the scrolling comments were
filled with a large stretch of 6666.
“Little Lunatic Wei is still your lunatic daddy. He can snatch up kills even
with a support talent!”
“Brother Cai, don’t cry, the next kill will be yours!”
“Oh my, I didn’t think that was possible!”
The commentators tried hard not to be biased, but how could they not be?
Brother Mouth captured the key point directly. “Just now, the berserker
thief had 290 health points left. The soul warlock’s damage control was
amazing.”
The soul warlock had a low base DPS. Without the small wooden staff, he
would’ve dealt about 190 points of damage, which wasn’t enough to kill the
berserker thief.
However, Wei Xiao had never been a support. He’d considered himself as a
c-position right from when he went out and didn’t put on straw sandals or
grab a jungler knife. Instead, he’d picked up a wooden stick.
Why?
Because he couldn’t kill anyone without this wooden stick.
It was likely that the other side would come into their jungle, so he hadn’t
picked up the jungler knife initially. Since he wouldn’t be able to clear his
jungle anyway, they might as well fight first!
At this time, a ‘great god’ dropped into the live broadcast studio.
A real great god, a great god in all aspects.

Money: “You may not believe it if I say it, but I was killed by the little
lunatic just like this the night before yesterday.” These words were followed
by a gift of 666 rockets.
When this big god came out he had to display enough of a grand scene.
Although he didn’t have any more pocket money, Brother Hui would
tighten up his belt in order to help his brother team.
Besides, Money didn’t know how to send out scrolling comments in the live
broadcast studio without sending out gifts.
Ch234 - Thousand layers of clouds
was also called thousand layers of
snow.
Due to the spectacular special effects, the fans could confirm that the
account was who he claimed to be. For a time, the number of scrolling
comments soared.
Some were normal, “Training match? FTW and RR are really a family; it’s
confirmed. Sharing such important tactics with their good brothers first.
Some people helped Money reply, “It wasn’t necessarily sharing, however
getting abused was a certainty.”
Of course, there were those who gossiped, “I never thought that the little
lunatic would be a gong and actually managed to get Money. Tsk, tsk.”
“The collection of strange CPs has increased again. Watch out for the great
demon king’s deep gaze!”
“CPs can be taken apart but can’t be reversed! The All Lunatic party will
never acknowledge defeat!”
“Taken apart but not reversed??? Is it that my great demon king can’t lift up
a blade, or that you little girls are over inflated?”
This sentence from Money smoothed away the worries in countless

viewers’ nervous hearts.
It was obvious that FTW had practiced this line-up in advance. However,
they may not have practiced it for long since the soul warlock talent had
only been released for a few days.
Still, it was good that they’d practiced, and the fans also knew how strong
RR was. If they could make Money complain repeatedly, then there must
really be something to their line-up.
Unfortunately, the players were still slowly clearing out the jungle. In the
past, the players seemed to reach level six in moments, but today, it seemed
that they were playing very slowly, their experience crawling up bit by bit.
It took forever for the soul warlock to level up.
The audience didn’t want to let Mo Hui run off. They urged him, “Captain
Mo, start a live broadcast and provide commentary, we’ll go support you!”
Mo Hui sent out another pile of rockets. “No way.”
The audience looked at this big move and inexplicably felt that these two
words were so willful that they were asking for a beating.
It was great having money! Well, money was really a little amazing…
So angry! They really wanted to go to RR and rip Money apart by hand!
Mo Hui wasn’t looking down on the gifts from the fans, but rather, “… It’s
all blood and tears. I’ll start crying if I start a live broadcast.”
Fans laughed loudly, “Were you abused so miserably? Is the soul warlock
line-up really that strong?”
Mo Hui: “I’m leaving. I don’t want to watch this game, it triggering me too
much.”
The audience in the scrolling comments hurriedly asked him to stay,

“Don’t, tell us more about it. Can Little Lunatic Wei really use his soul
warlock to attach to the immortal warlock? Can he brush out thousand
layers of clouds? Is it strong?”
Mo Hui: “Strong? Ha. My family’s Moon-moon hasn’t spoken to me at all

today.”
The audience in the scrolling comments: “????”

The CP fans screamed shrilly! They stopped just short of driving a small
train over to dye the live broadcast studio into a vast sea of yellow.
Mo Hui sighed, “He disdains me for being unable to play the soul
warlock… you tell me if Little Lunatic Wei is strong or not.”
A large number of ellipses appeared in the scrolling comments.
Strong, he was really strong. An immortal warlock that could make Moonlit
collapse…
They were looking forward to it so much that they were about to explode,
okay!
Some career focused fans were still worried, “Captain Mo, do you think
that FTW has a high chance of winning this game? Can they win? They
won’t screw up, right?”
Mo Hui saw this comment and actually replied, “Ha, ha. If FTW actually
loses, then I’ll go and blow up their base.”
The audience in the scrolling comments: “!”
Mo Hui’s gorgeous scrolling comments sported a noble title, and they flew
into countless fans’ eyes. “We played four training matches and lost all four.
If he loses to IN now, doesn’t it prove that we’re worse than IN?”
Then, he continued and asked, “Is RR worse than IN?”
These worse were both crazy and arrogant, and were displayed with a
golden rich tyrant special effect.
The scrolling comments: “RR is badass! Money is badass! The China

competition zone is badass!”
A fire was lit up in the live broadcast room. It could be predicted that if
FTW lost this game, whether or not the base would be blown up was
unknown, but the team would definitely accumulate many tonnes of blades.
The fans stared at the canyon, stared at Little Lunatic Wei, and watched for
FTW’s next moves.
The soul warlock in the canyon had finally reached level 5 and was only
one step away from level 6!
Money had really taken his special effects with him and left the room. He
really didn’t plan to watch the game.
There was nothing to watch. This match with IN was the same as the
second match in their training matches.
Out of four training matches, RR had been a bit careless in the first game
and had been caught off guard by Little Lunatic Wei. They had lost
miserably.
In the second game, they were still a little confused. They were tentative
and cautious, scared of making mistakes. They tried to think about how to
break up this routine, yet as a result, they fell into FTW’s trap.
What FTW was most afraid of was the period of time when the soul
warlock couldn’t use attachment, prior to hitting level 6. The fight in the
jungle zone had actually been a bluff. If Money hadn’t seized the initiative
to invade their jungle zone at the time, it would be difficult to say how FTW
would continue the game.
However, who could react to this?
When faced with such an abrupt line-up, when faced with this unreasonable
little lunatic.
Either their psychological defenses were lax, and they took it lightly,
therefore losing the game, or they were too cautious and missed the best
opportunity, ensuring that they were unable to turn the tables.
IN was obviously doing the latter.
Their first invasion had been repulsed, and they had to be flustered.
This slight hesitation, paired with a wait-and-see attitude… things would go
badly.
Wei Xiao had taken a little wooden stick in the early stages and crouched in
the jungle with Brother Cai in order to stir up the first wave of momentum.
And it was really a bluff.
Their jungle zone wasn’t really indefensible. It was alright for Brother Cai
to show off briefly, but he would soon expose his weaknesses if he fought
with people head-on.
However, would Wei Xiao give the other side this chance? Would he give
someone who didn’t understand their line-up a chance to react?
Obviously not.
Take First Blood and give them a scare. That was Wei Xiao’s purpose.
Then, they’d hurry and clear the jungle, develop quickly, and rush to level
six.
To be honest, Little Lunatic Wei was more eager to reach level 6 than the
audience.
Brother Cai’s palms were sweaty. “They really won’t dare to come?”
Wei Xiao: “Hurry up, hurry up, take turns using discipline and maximize
the damage!”
He’d already sold his wooden staff and replaced it with a jungler knife in
order to clear the jungle quicker.
At present, the biggest problem with the soul warlock was the early stages,
which was the period before it reached level 6.
The damage dealt was too low, and the jungle clearing speed was too slow.
Brother Cai only had average DPS control and his speed in clearing the
jungle was quite a bit worse than Wei Xiao’s.
Of course, this wasn’t all Brother Cai’s fault. Although he’d taken the
power thief, this talent was still essentially a support talent. Wei Xiao’s soul
warlock was eating both experience and gold, and while his experience
soared, his damage wouldn’t increase too much. It would be strange if they
were able to clear the jungle quickly.
After calming down for a bit, IN’s support spoke up, “That’s not right!”
At the end of the day, he was still someone who’d somewhat mastered the
soul warlock. Although he’d been startled by Wei Xiao initially, he still
thought it through, “You can’t let the soul warlock reach level 6 just like
this!”
As soon as these words came out, the jungler also figured it out. “F*ck!
What dogs!”
The elemental shaman spoke to mid-laner Otee, “The three of us can’t let
him develop so comfortably.”
They’d all woken up a little late. Wei Xiao was only a tiny bit short of
hitting level 6.
However, they didn’t want to delay anymore. They had to hurry up and
suppress the soul warlock or else they would have problems when they
reached level 6!
The audience watched carefully. They saw that Wei Xiao had almost
reached level 6, saw that he’d filled up more than half his experience bar,
and they saw…
“Damn it, IN’s coming over to gank them!”
”The three of them are surrounding them, while the immortal warlock, who
still doesn’t have his ultimate move, is struggling to clear the lane.”
“This is dangerous.”
“Don’t let anything happen, please don’t let anything happen!”

It was unknown if the prayer was useful, but Brother Cai had a keen sense
of smell, “Something’s wrong.”
Wei Xiao looked at the minimap and spoke seriously, “Herd them to the
mid-lane.”
Brother Cai was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at the situation
on the minimap and let out a sigh of relief, “Okay!”
There was no need to communicate or say more. They could all see one
point on the map––the top lane.
Although the audience was watching from god’s perspective, they weren’t
in the canyon and didn’t have the same tactical awareness. They could only
stare at the place where the fight was about to break out, and they weren’t
paying attention to anywhere else on the map.
All they saw was Wei Xiao and Bai Cai moving towards the middle lane as
though they were planning to meet up with the immortal warlock.
IN noticed it too. Otee was happy, “The immortal warlock in the mid-lane
hasn’t reached level 6 yet either. We’ll take them all in!”
Who cared about what kind of routine they were using? If they lost three
kills in the early stages, then they could just wait and see how FTW could
recover from such a disadvantage!
IN’s elemental shaman created an acceleration totem. Although it could

only be used by one person in the early stages, as long as the berserker
thief’s scythe was able to lock onto one person, they would definitely be
able to kill them on the spot with Otee’s DPS.
After one of them died, both the berserker thief and spirit mage would have
their passive abilities triggered. IN was definitely going to win this wave of
3v3.
There was nothing wrong with this thinking. The fans were also worried,
and they even started comforting each other.
“Trust Quiet. I believe that he can survive!”
“The immortal warlock should be able to survive too!”
“Come on, come on… it would be great if none of them died!”
The commentators woke up the dreamers. “Close is soloing the silver

dragon!”
The director immediately cut out a small frame that showed the shadow
thief soloing the silver dragon.
At this time in the game, the silver dragon was a small one. It was two sizes
smaller than its maximum size, and it had much lower health and defense.
Based on the shadow thief’s efficiency, it would only take a few moments
to kill the silver dragon.
Once the little silver dragon fell to the ground, it would increase the whole
team’s experience bar!
They then took another look at the three FTW players in the mid-lane. The
immortal warlock’s experience bar was at level 5 and 1/3, and the immortal
warlock was over halfway through level 5. The power thief was still
approaching level 5 because he’d given up his resources.
Based on this experience level…
When the silver dragon died, the immortal warlock and soul warlock would
instantly hit level 6!
Some talents were like two totally different heroes before and after level 6.
The immortal warlock and soul warlock were obviously such talents. On
the other hand, it didn’t matter as much for the power thief, since its first
three skills were all control skills. Whether or not he had his ultimate move
was of little impact, and that was especially the case for Brother Cai, who
was primarily a support player.
So… This round in the mid-lane was about to explode!

IN’s berserker thief locked onto the power thief. He was delighted and said,
“Go!”
Brother Cai didn’t panic at all. He calmly sent out a ground stab.
After being locked in by the berserker thief, he had no choice but to get
pulled over. Based on his defense, he would be able to resist enemy fire for
at least two seconds.
What did two seconds mean?
FTW.Close killed the Silver Dragon (low level).
As soon as the announcement came out, their experience arrived. IN didn’t

have vision over there and hadn’t even known that Close was killing the
dragon.
When they heard this system announcement, the three of them felt a chill go
down their backs.
IN’s top-laner exclaimed, “F*ck!”
He’d still been on guard against getting killed by Close under his own tower
and hadn’t expected that Close would go over to kill the dragon!
They all watched as a faint golden light enveloped the immortal warlock
and soul warlock, and they both rose up to level 6.
Wei Xiao: “Little Ning.”
In just two short seconds, nobody even had time to blink their eyes. The
soul warlock attached to the immortal warlock!
The two of them started up the connecting clouds combo at the same time.
The overlapping clouds in the mid-lane paved steps across the river,
constantly stacking upwards, and constantly climbing. After their field of
vision was pulled high up, all they heard was a bang!
Landing on clouds was perfectly connected. These ethereal clouds seemed

to gain substance, turning into fog that dropped layer by layer, transforming
into sharp blades as they fell!
Thousand layers of clouds was also called thousand layers of snow.
Because the falling clouds were more like cold snow. They were tightly
condensed together and had the momentum to freeze the earth!
Two sets of thousand layers of clouds!
There were really two sets!
Their range overlapped, and the damage doubled. This was like an
explosion had taken place on the spot!
After being suppressed for so long, having endured for so long, and having
waited for so long, the audience stood up and applauded desperately.
What a show, it was too cool!
The thousand layers of clouds with the holographic projection made the
entire venue feel chilly.
It was a hot summer and their blood was boiling, but these fascinating
special effects made everyone feel a refreshing sense of joy!
xiin: well… apparently i mis-scheduled a day. >_> let’s all pretend that 234
came out when it was supposed to
Ch235 - Canyon flower butterfly~
Under such explosive damage, the elemental shaman who didn’t yet have a
resurrection totem was really unable to protect his teammates.
Otee’s spirit mage had reacted quickly enough. He had movement skills so
he tried to escape the attack range of these two thousand layers of clouds.
However…
Brother Cai had already set out a ‘roadblock’. Otee was already in a panic,
so how could he have noticed the power thief’s ground stab? He stepped on
it and was pulled back by Brother Cai after triggering the trap.
Originally, he’d been just at the edge of the thousand layers of clouds and
may have been able to survive with a sliver of health leftover. But now he
was pulled straight into the core damage zone, and the double layers of DPS
landed on Otee’s head, beating him silly.
Their health plummeted, and they instantly fell into a seriously injured
state.
After that, their screens went dark, and the system announcements rang out.
FTW.Quiet killed IN.Otee.
Congratulations to FTW.Silvery for a double kill.
Brother Cai…
Oh, not only did Brother Cai not die, he even got three assists.
Originally, IN had thought that they would definitely be able to get three
kills in this mid-lane battle and fatten themselves up explosively.
Unexpectedly, they hadn’t even taken any kills when the other team’s
ultimate move smacked them in the face, dealing heavy damage to them
instead.
What was more suffocating was that the shadow thief returned to the top
lane after taking the silver dragon and used his light arcs to forcibly bypass
the tower, sending away IN’s top laner swearing as he returned to the
fountain.
The audience was completely immersed in this joy. It was their home game
to start with, and now the cheering rang out endlessly.
The headphones that the contestants wore had a noise reduction and
soundproofing function, and such sounds generally couldn’t be heard
clearly.
However, these cheers were too loud, and the audience was too enthusiastic.
The bit of sound that flowed into their headsets made the IN team’s hands
sweat.
They could hear the cheering even through their noise cancelling
headphones. What was the scene like?
This was what teams feared most when they fought away games.
It would undoubtedly aggravate their sense of psychological pressure.
If the players from IN could hear it, then FTW could naturally hear it too.
The fans cheered excitedly, filling the three little ones with fighting spirit
and making them wish they could fight another round.
Only Wei Xiao’s heart felt a little astringent.
Three years, three full years.
As the only player from the China competition zone on the stage in the
finals, Close had to face such a scene.
In a strange competition zone, on a lonely stage––

He had killed others, but no one had cheered for him.
Only when people killed him had the entire audience screamed.
Fortunately, there were many people by Close’s side this year.
He had teammates, had someone who loved him, had someone he loved,
countless fans, and the whole China competition zone.
This year, it definitely wouldn’t be Close standing alone on the global

stage!
Wei Xiao breathed in, then said to Ning Zhehan, “Once.”
Just now, he’d killed Otee once. He’d said he would kill him 15 times.
He would do what he’d said.
Ning Zhehan’s hands were all warmed up. “Come here, Brother Xiao!”
The soul warlock was too magical. He always had the feeling that brushing
out a thousand layers of clouds was easier than usual with his attachment.
It wasn’t Ning Zhehan’s illusion. It really was easier.
If there was a slight flaw, Wei Xiao could make up for it, and if there were
any kinks, the soul warlock could smooth it out.
The audience only saw the dazzling thousand layers of clouds, but they
didn’t notice the really terrifying things that the soul warlock could do.
––A real support could help their teammates play out 200% of their
strength!
After reaching level 6, Brother Cai retired triumphantly and became a well-
behaved toolman.
Ganking?
No need, he just needed to provide vision.
Clearing the jungle?
He didn’t dare, he didn’t dare. He would just wait until the soul warlock
was attached before going near the jungle zone.
Support the marksman to help him develop?
It wasn’t necessary. The soul warlock just needed to use attachment, and the
warlock’s support was much more stable than his.
Brother Cai became a toolman, and Wei Xiao became a butterfly.
––A butterfly that flew all over the canyon.
The audience went crazy with laughter when the commentator carelessly
used this adjective.
It was too graphic and vivid. It was on point.
Just looking at this little lunatic’s rhythm was dizzying enough, okay!
The jungle zone had only just refreshed when the soul warlock attached to
the power thief, sweeping through fiercely and clearing out all the farm.
Then, he turned and went straight to the mid-lane!
Wei Xiao didn’t hide when he arrived. He stopped just short of telling Otee
directly that Laozi was there to kill him.
Otee was using the spirit mage. The spirit mage was very flexible, and he
could practically travel across half the map when he used his combo. But no
matter how flexible he was, he couldn’t stop himself from being surrounded
and suppressed by two immortal warlocks.
He might be able to hide from one thousand layers of clouds, but how was
he supposed to hide from two?
What’s more, these two people were able to stagger their spells!
Although the soul warlock could use the skills of the talent it was attached
to, the direction of the skill would depend on the direction that the attached
hero faced. This actually made it a little difficult to operate when teammates
had some directional skills. It was especially the case when it came to
stacking up marks to brush out tricks.
The first time when they brushed out thousand layers of clouds at the same
time, Otee’s scalp was numb, but he was also quickly thinking up
countermeasures.
IN’s support: “Avoid fighting. As long as the thousand layers of clouds falls
down, the first thing you should do is leave the attack range of the skill!”
Otee: “Got it.”
This was a very good on-the-spot response. Although they weren’t familiar
enough with the soul warlock, they weren’t completely unfamiliar with it.
They couldn’t use it well, but they could still try and be prepared for its
attacks.
Otee had also been convinced that they couldn’t stagger the casting of the
spells. Coupled with the high flexibility of the spirit mage, he could slip
away first whenever he saw Ning Zhehan start stacking up for a thousand
layers of clouds.
Although he would lose some of his lane soldiers and his defense tower
might get worn down, it was still better than sending himself up to be
killed.
When he was dead, he wouldn’t be able to maintain his soldier lane and
defense tower either!
Otee knew enough about the immortal warlock and it wasn’t difficult for
him to avoid the thousand layers of clouds, but…
Who would’ve thought that when the first thousand layers of clouds ended,
the place where Ning Zhehan landed would be just at the edge of the outer
tower, and another thousand layers of clouds would follow? Otee had
already used up all his skills and could only run…
Like hell could he run!
The soul warlock had the highest farm in the game, and his equipment was
better than Ning Zhehan’s. When he released his damage, Otee would be
dead again.
The thousand layers of clouds were really flashy, and it made the audience
at the scene eager, their hands itching to play.
The fans in the live broadcast studio were more direct. They turned on their
computers for a game and soon came back wailing, “What the hell, and
they’re even doing thousand layers of clouds? Who can tell me how the
soul warlock directs its skills?!”
“Fortunately, I didn’t play a ranked game. Otherwise, I’d have been

suspended from the game with these crappy results!”
“Wake up, fellow brother, don’t lose your head from watching and send out
heads!”
Wei Xiao’s soul warlock was known as the canyon flower butterfly, while
an ordinary player’s soul warlock was disdained by thousands.
The gap was so wide that it was really humbling.
IN’s mid-lane collapsed completely. After Otee died four times, it was like
IN’s center of gravity was set in the middle lane. Their support and jungle
practically settled down in the bushes in the mid-lane. They had lost sight
of all else and just wanted to kill Wei Xiao once. No matter how much they
sacrificed, they would make a profit as long as they could kill him!
Unfortunately, while they had acted impulsively, Wei Xiao was very calm.
Fifteen kills, there was no rush.
3:0 and the head count. He couldn’t fall short on either one.
IN’s jungler and support stalked the mid-lane, thinking that Wei Xiao would
come to kill Otee, but Wei Xiao had already gone to the bottom lane.
IN’s bottom lane had been constantly trying to develop. Although he wasn’t
suppressed by Yue Wenle, his development had constantly been very
thrilling.
In the current situation, the top, mid, and jungler areas had all collapsed. If
he didn’t remain stable, then they would have no way to fight.
The gun launcher was a talent that could hold up against the storm hunter.
IN’s marksman tried his best to snatch up farm, thinking that they could
retaliate in team fights in the later stages.
Unfortunately, the butterfly came.
Yue Wenle had been waiting for a long time. “I’m going.”
Wei Xiao clicked on attachment. “Yeah.”
At this time, the gun launcher still didn’t know that the soul warlock had
come to the bottom lane. Three of the players from IN were still lying in
ambush in the mid-lane waiting for Ning Zhehan and Wei Xiao to show up.
Who could’ve known…
The gun launcher: “Damn it!”
After cursing, he moved as far as he could and hid behind his tower.
Unfortunately, raindrops had already covered most of the bottom lane like
scattered stars.
Having seen Wei Xiao’s thousand layers of clouds, the gun launcher didn’t
doubt that he could step on raindrops!
Besides, stepping on raindrops was a bit easier to operate than a thousand

layers of clouds. As long as Yue Wenle could cover the area with rain, then
the two of them could advance together. Even if the soul warlock’s basic
attack didn’t deal as much damage as the storm hunter, the damage from the
skill alone was enough to make him suffer.
They were all c-positions, and they were all squishy. Who could bear this
kind of damage!
By the time the three people from IN who were stalking the mid-lane
realized that the bottom lane was on fire and wanted to teleport over, the
power thief sent out a ground stab.
Otee: “!”
Did they really think that the canyon only held Little Lunatic Wei? The
jungler king vegetable that had been ‘used and abandoned’ after level six
was very angry.
The light for transmission hadn’t yet landed. The three from IN didn’t
succeed in leaving, but Close had already arrived one step ahead of them
and appeared at Bai Cai’s side.
FTW’s double thief, give it a try.
Had they ever seen a thousand layers of clouds paired with nine light arcs?
A wave of special effects broke out in the middle lane, and the two people
in the bottom lane stepped on raindrops like the stars in the sky were upside
down!
The director was a little overwhelmed. The holographic projection could

only focus on one field of vision at a time, but these two had started
brushing out their ultimate moves at the same time! Which side should they
show!
Finally, they focused on the mid-lane.
The thousand layers of clouds that looked like falling snow coupled with
the domineering light arcs really was like something from a dream. If they
didn’t ensure that everyone could see enough of it, then the audience would
stir up trouble.
Though, they were already kicking up a fuss now.
“Bottom lane, bottom lane! I want to see the raindrops fly!”
“Yue Wenle’s skin is really good looking. The stars are shining, it’s too
beautiful!”
Of course, there were also those who were obsessed with the mid-lane. “I’ll
fight with anyone who dares to switch the perspective. The great demon
king is so handsome, I want to marry him, I want to marry him every day!”
“Speaking of which, Wei Xiao has never used attachment on Close in this
game…”
“Close cleared out the top lane on his own. Wei Xiao didn’t need to go there
at all.”
“But I really want to see double light arcs!”
“Wait a minute, can we look forward to seeing double nine light arcs?”
“I’m not demanding a double nine, but one eight and one nine shouldn’t be
a problem!”
“Calm down, calm down, the effectiveness of the soul warlock’s skills have
been halved. Wei Xiao’s nine light arcs aren’t that stable, so at most it’ll be
a nine and a seven?”
“I don’t care! As long as it’s double light arcs!”
“We saw two nine light arcs from opposing teams in the casual player
competition, but we’ve really never seen double light arcs from the same
team.”
“Although IN players aren’t human, fellow brother sisters, I feel a bit of

heartache for them right now…”
IN’s tragedy was really tragic; in fact, it was extremely tragic.

It was likely that IN had never dreamed that their first game in the globals
would play out like this.
It wasn’t a big deal to lose, and they’d thought about losing 3:0.
But they’d never expected that they would be hammered so badly like
grandsons!
They lost face in front of the whole world. Otee regretted it so much his
heart and intestines were splitting apart!
Two lanes blew up at the same time.
IN was wiped out!
The players from IN felt sweat run down their backs as they looked at their
dark screens.
Those who hadn’t experienced it personally really didn’t know what it was
like.
The battle of freedom had turned out like this…
This was like the most absurd type of nightmare.
Was it over?
Not yet.
The game had only been going on for fifteen minutes, and they had to
endure even after their mentality had collapsed.
There was no suspense in the match. The audience’s focus shifted from
winning to losing to the shadow thief and the soul warlock.
“Q Cub! I’m begging you! Quickly use attachment on your captain!”
“The great demon king needs you, little butterfly, don’t fly around
everywhere. Quickly take a look at Close.”
Wei Xiao certainly didn’t know what the audience in the scrolling
comments or the arena were saying.
He didn’t plan to simply win the game, and he wasn’t just waiting to see
how many times he could kill Otee.
He had to use this difficult-to-come-by opportunity to adapt!
Adapt to Ning Zhehan, Yue Wenle, and Bai Cai.
On the contrary, there was no hurry with the captain.
He didn’t need to get used to Close’s shadow thief, because he already was
familiar.
FTW pushed forward the whole way and IN was forced to fight team
battles. In the last wave of 5v5 fighting…
Lu Feng: “Come here.”
Wei Xiao’s lips raised up slightly. He pressed on his ultimate move and
selected the shadow thief.
When the faint light and shadow covered the shadowed thief with his
scarlet cloak, the live audience and the audience in the live broadcast all
exploded at the same time.
“It’s coming, it’s coming!”
“Double light arcs! Damn it! FTW’s inherited shadow thief!”
“Hurry, hurry, I’ve already turned on my screen recording!”
They lived up to these expectations, this trust.
Shadow attack, backstab, side attack. These two sets of skills went out like
floating clouds and flowing water, as though the operations were all
handled by the same person!
They rose up and fell in synchronized movements. The stacking marks
couldn’t be differentiated, and their damage was unceasingly within their
control.
They entered as shadows, but came out with rising light arcs!
When the double light arcs lit up the canyon, it left everyone stunned.
They couldn’t tell it apart.
They couldn’t tell it apart at all.
How many arcs were there?
Exactly what kind of damage had been dealt?
At this moment, the audience who were watching the scene only had these
words in their mind––
Like the scorching sun shining in the sky, giving off infinite glory.
FTW! Badass!
Ch236 - Problem?
Everyone in IN turned pale from the damage dealt by this explosion of light
arcs.
There had already been a farm gap of over 12,000 between their team and
FTW. Even Bai Cai, who was the worst in terms of development, had a
higher farm than any of them did. They had five DPS positions, and five
talents who could show off to the heavens. Let alone the double light arcs,
even the immortal warlock and storm hunter’s damage was already more
than they could bear.
The elemental shaman urgently tossed out a resurrection totem, giving it to

Otee.
As a spirit mage who had the most movement skills, Otee was the most
likely to survive.
Although he might not be able to guard their base even if he lived, the
elemental shaman was still thinking of leaving a glimmer of hope.
This was the type of competitive spirit that was unwilling to give up until
the very last minute. It was commendable.
Unfortunately…
Otee’s mentality had collapsed completely, and he was left stunned for a
moment after he stood back up.
It was already too late by the time he heard the elemental shaman’s shout.
The soul warlock jumped down from the shadow thief and hit him
accurately with a soul blade. At almost the same time, the shadow thief’s
figure flickered, and his blood blade stabbed into the spirit mage’s belly,
strengthening its basic attack into a critical hit. This hit dealt a terrifying
2800 points of damage and killed the spirit mage on the spot.
There was the double shadow thief when attached together, and when they
were split up, there was still a godly level of tacit understanding.
The old fans who’d followed Close for four years had eyes full of tears!
The lone wolf from the Team of Gods, the lone king of FTW, finally had
someone beside him!
There was finally someone who could match up perfectly with the great
demon king!
IN got aced.
The five people from FTW pushed down the mid-lane, taking turns to
protect the lane soldiers, blasting apart the crystal in the shortest possible
time!
Victory!
Victory belonged to FTW!
The audience applauded and cheered like the game had already ended with
a 3:0 score.
It was just a single match, and it was just one battle of the freedom matches.
But the audience was already fully satisfied with what they saw.
In just twenty minutes, going from worry, to surprise, to happy screaming…
Wei Xiao had fulfilled his promise perfectly.
The director showed a replay of the interview with Wei Xiao from prior to
the game.
Dressed in a dark black team uniform, the youth’s skin color was pale, yet
glowing. His eyes were slightly curved upwards, and his small tiger teeth
looked mischievous. His voice was crisp and pleasant, “There’s a surprise
for everyone.”
The audience: “……”
After that came laughter.
There had really been a surprise, it was amazing and joyful. This brat was
really amazing!
The audience in the live broadcast saw it too. Thousands of girls screamed
shrilly, all wanting to be Madame Wei, wanting to marry Wei Little Xiao,
wanting to be his mama…
Yes, in just one short season, Wei Xiao had succeeded in winning over
countless girlfriend fans, wife fans, mama fans, and husband fans!
That’s right. In this matter, Wei Xiao had won over the great demon king.
And nobody else would ever dare to call Close ‘wife’.
There were too many highlights in this game. Everyone started discussing
them one after another, and the most miraculous thing was the double light
arcs in the finals.
“So how many light arcs were there? Was the system caught off guard and
unable to make a judgment?”
“Let me blindly guess that it’s one nine and one seven. The great demon
king’s nine is stable, and Little Xiao’s seven is stable in soul warlock
mode!”
“Hey, it just so happens that I was born in ‘97. I can ship the 97 CP!”
“Are those of us born in ‘98 not worthy of having the great and little demon
king?”
“Those from ‘99 weakly poking their heads out…”

“Little brother, go away. It’s impossible for ten light arcs to appear in the
team competition!”
Even the great demon king had made use of the special skill in the singles
competition to brush out ten light arcs. Ten light arcs couldn’t be obtained
under the limitations of the team competition since there were no special
skills!
The fans kept arguing, and the commentators were also discussing this
issue.
Brother Mouth had sharp eyes. “It should be one nine and one eight.”
Sister Qi’s surprise wasn’t faked at all, “This would actually count as a
double nine.”
If the soul warlock wanted to brush out eight light arcs, then its actual
operation would have to be at the nine light arc level. Although Wei Xiao
could brush out nine light arcs from time to time, he was still a little less
consistent than Lu Feng.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t do it, but that it was really something that required
time to practice.
Wei Xiao had played a full three years less than Lu Feng.
Brushing out double nines was already pretty awesome. Looking at the
whole China competition zone, oh, wait, all of Glory across the whole
world, it was impossible to find two others from the same team who could
do it.
This unique set of double nine light arcs belonged to FTW, and it belonged
to the China competition zone!
The people off-stage were arguing endlessly, but the parties involved were
very clear on what had happened.
Wei Xiao was very clear on how many light arcs he’d brushed, and…
“Captain!” He couldn’t help calling out to Lu Feng as soon as he landed.
Through the same headsets, the same team chat, the three little ones
trembled.
Oh my god, this sound… was… very… sweet… f*ck, they didn’t dare to
think about it. Brother Xiao couldn’t be provoked!
Bai Cai didn’t know why Wei Xiao was acting up again, but he was really
afraid that Glory’s Mic Explosion King would explode completely.
“Cough…”
Wei Xiao calmed down slightly.
Lu Feng: “Take down the towers.”
At this time, they’d just wiped out IN and hadn’t yet pushed their way to
their base.
So, the soul warlock returned to the shadow thief’s side and quickly clicked
on the tower along with him.
In fact, he should be going with the storm hunter, but…
Wei Xiao was happy following Lu Feng. So what!
He didn’t dare, didn’t dare. President Le didn’t dare to feel anything about
this.
Wei Xiao wasn’t actually acting up. He just felt a sense of sweetness and
delight in his heart.
That double light arc just now… In fact, he’d known very well how difficult
it was to brush out nine light arcs with the soul warlock. His equipment
lacked the attack speed needed, and it wasn’t as easy to stack up general
attacks. If he wanted to brush out nine light arcs, it wasn’t a problem with
his micro operations, but rather a limitation caused by the mechanics of the
game. There wasn’t any way to do it.
However!
Lu Feng had helped him stack up marks.
Just like how Yan Jiang had used the soul warlock’s skills to help support
his marks, Lu Feng had done the same using his shadow thief.
He was clearly the soul warlock, and he was clearly the support talent, but
Lu Feng still managed to help him while stacking up marks for his own
nine light arcs. If others were able to see the situation clearly, then they
would be so shocked their chins might have fallen off.
No wonder Lu Feng’s nine light arcs happened whenever he wanted to!

He’d always been able to use it with skill and ease!
It had to be mentioned that when Yan Jiang helped Wei Xiao with his light
arcs, his own soul warlock hadn’t been brushing out light arcs at all.
Lu Feng hadn’t delayed his own light arcs, and he’d also helped Wei Xiao
with his.
Wei Xiao was already acting very reserved and restrained by not shouting
out ‘Captain, I love you!’, okay?!
After the battle of freedom, the audience who always had endless ideas
began to disparage the competition system again.
Why did there have to be a full-game BP!
They still wanted to see more of the nine light arcs!
They also wanted to see the butterfly!
And they wanted to see a thousand layers of clouds, stepping on raindrops,

and double light arcs!
The director in charge of the holographic projection: “No more, no more,

we can’t afford it!”
Take the equipment into consideration, hey, it was about to explode!
Although the effects were amazing, the fans were all cheered happily, the
tickets were easy to sell, and the income was spilling in like crazy, but…
okay fine, they could continue with the special effects; it was fine even if
their livers exploded!
Amidst all this enthusiasm, the second game, which should have started
immediately, was put on hold.
The audience were all puzzled.
It wasn’t the semi-finals or the finals. They shouldn’t have to take a break
after each game, right?
What was the situation…
Was there something wrong with the equipment?
Something wrong with the network?
Why were the judges going up on stage?
The only thing that could be seen in the live broadcast studio were the
backstage guests.
Backstage guests were invited for each competition. First, they would give
predictions for the competition prior to the game in order to mobilize the
audience’s emotions. Secondly, they could come out when there was a delay
with the game, preventing any accidental gaps in the live broadcast by
chatting and easing the atmosphere.
Of course, the third thing they did was go over the game in order to
maintain the flow of traffic.
After being notified by the director, the guests started analyzing the battle of
freedom that had just ended. They didn’t know what had happened on the
stage and could only start talking to stabilize the fans in the live broadcast
studio.
However, the fans’ mood wasn’t that easy to stabilize.
A perfectly good game had suddenly stopped; there had to be an

explanation for what was going on.
The audience in the scrolling comments were asking about it all over the
place, eager to know what was happening at the scene.
Reasonably speaking, equipment problems or network accidents wouldn’t

lead to them cutting directly to the backstage guests!
The second game hadn’t started. If it was due to the hardware, wouldn’t it
be better to give an interview of the players first?
For a time, various conspiracy theories came out frequently, and all kinds of
speculations popped out.
There were even comments about internal discord in IN, and some even
guessed that they were fighting.
The fans in the live broadcast studio didn’t know what was going on, but
the audience at the scene was watching everything happen.
The game had indeed been suspended, but it wasn’t an equipment problem
or network problem. It was that a player from IN had suddenly stood up and
called over the referee.
It was unknown what was said after that, but they saw Otee blushing and
arguing with the referee.
This…
What could have gone wrong with the battle of freedom just now?
It was a live game and there couldn’t have been any plug-ins used!
Who was he making trouble with!
Besides, what need was there to open up plug-ins for in the game just now?
Although, this soul warlock was really like a plug-in!
There was also a lot of discussion at the scene. The host came up to the
stage and tried to appease the audience, but the audience at the scene wasn’t
like the audience in the live broadcast studio, and they wouldn’t be
appeased with just a few words.
They all wanted to know what was going on.
So, the host translated IN’s words.
The host was a young woman with a soft voice, “IN’s point is that FTW
broke the rules in the previous match.”
The audience: “Broke the rules? What rules did they violate?”
The host: “Switching positions between the jungler and support…”
With this explanation, the fans got it.
Was this even f*cking possible?!
If they couldn’t afford to lose, then don’t play. Don’t disgust people like
this!
The reason that IN had provided was actually quite valid.
The team competitions worked like this: Before each game, the coach
would submit a list with the player configurations.
For example, the list that Chen Feng submitted in the last game was: Top-
laner Close, Jungler Quiet, Support White, Mid-laner Silvery, ADC Le.
The players for each position were determined prior to the BP part of the
game. After they entered the competition, they had to play the position
they’d announced. If Ning Zhehan switched his mid-laner position with Yue
Wenle’s ADC and took the marksman position while the other went to the
mage position, they would theoretically be breaking the rules.
The punishment for violating the rules was extremely serious. It ranged
from replay (where the match was considered invalid, and there would be a
rematch), to a direct loss.
IN was really vicious, but they still insisted clearly, “The soul warlock is a
support position talent. Quiet registered for this match as a jungler, and their
support and jungler positions don’t follow the regulations!”
So, the referee had to come up on stage and give a verdict on this matter.
The coaches went up too. Chen Feng’s face was as heavy as still water, and
FTW was burning with anger.
Whether or not they’d violated the rules wasn’t something that Otee could
determine by moving his top and bottom lips!
After understanding the situation, the referee spoke up, “Glory doesn’t
define any talent into a position. Whether or not FTW has switched
positions or not has to be judged based on the situation in the game.”
No matter what kind of talent it was, the competition committee wouldn’t

limit it to death. For example, the shadow thief was a jungler position, but
there was nothing illegal about using it for the top lane. Although using a
soul warlock to play jungler was somewhat incredible, it wasn’t completely
impossible.
The important thing was whether or not the player in this position was
actually playing jungler.
Otee gritted his teeth, “Then look at the data. The power thief broke the
rules too. He was playing jungler the whole way!”
Whether or not he was playing as a jungler would depend on how he’d

controlled the jungle creeps!
The referee: “Wait a moment.”
There were voices of disdain from all directions when the audience learned
about this situation.
The ignorant fans in the live broadcast studio also understood what the
situation was after the audience took out their cell phones and sent out a
series of explanations in the scrolling comments.
The originally chaotic live broadcast room suddenly became surprisingly

unified. They were all scolding IN.
Of course, there were some who were worried, “He can’t have really
violated the rules, right… In the last match, Quiet was really…”
What could they say? This new tactic and routine had been a little strange.
It wasn’t unreasonable for Otee to make such a fuss about it. They’d lost
like crazy and couldn’t swallow down their anger. They latched onto this
point in order to dispute the win, and it was really a bit difficult to
distinguish between who was right and who was wrong.
Both the power thief and the soul warlock had the ability to fight in the
jungle, and they were both in the jungle zones during the match. As for
ganking people…
Both the support and jungler talents were the support type. It was difficult
to say if it was a jungler type support or a jungler type ganker.
If this game was judged to have violated the rules, then wouldn’t FTW’s
invincible line-up be done for?
The fans, who’d originally been filled with enthusiasm, began to worry
once again.
How exactly would they decide?
What data were they basing it on
Could they convince the public?
In particular, they were the hosts for the globals. If the ruling was unfair,
then they would be flamed by the whole network abroad.
After a long ten minutes, the game officials announced the results.
The five talents that FTW had used in the last game were projected up onto
the stage using the holographic projection equipment. Various statistics
appeared beside them.
The system wouldn’t deceive people, and the data couldn’t be faked. The
soul warlock’s jungle creep kill rate was as high as 80%!
As soon as the data came out, the audience all breathed a sigh of relief.
Damn…
Little Lunatic Wei, you really managed to do it!
His jungle creep kill rate was similar to that of a lane player.
80% of the jungle creeps that died in FTW’s jungle zone died from Wei
Xiao’s last hit. If that didn’t make him a jungler, then all the junglers here
could go home and start settling in for retirement!
Ironically, the game officials also projected IN’s data.
IN’s berserker thief’s jungle creep kill rate was only 60%.
This comparison made the audience’s scalps feel numb––
Otee, are you actually an undercover agent sent in by the China competition
zone?!
Ch237 - Come on, come on, let me
analyze the double light arcs for
you
This slap in the face came so quickly and ferociously that it likely caught
everyone off guard.
Looking at IN’s expressions, they’d really turned pale.
Otee fell back into his chair, his eyes filled with incredulity.
The live broadcast audience was already tearing into each other, especially
on the foreign internet. They’d already started scolding IN like dogs.
On the other hand, the domestic audience didn’t care. With this kind of
mentally retarded behavior, it would be weird if they could win. FTW’s win
was really stable today.
The game was still ongoing, but hot searches were already on the rise. The
key words were shocking––FTW violation.
They clicked in to have a look, holy shit, like hell they’d committed any
violations!
Passers-by who weren’t part of the Glory circle were curious, “You guys
have position limitations in the official competition? We often change
roads, doesn’t that mean we’re all breaking the rules?”
Someone explained the situation, “I thought that this rule had been
abolished, but unexpectedly, it’s still… like this…”
Glory had been around for so many years. There were many piles of paper’s
worth of information about the game competition system.
Locking in the position of the players was an old rule.
Although the player’s position was registered, there were no restrictions on

tactics and playing methods. For example, had a toolman jungler who’d
given all his resources to the marksman switched positions? Of course he
hadn’t. The marksman was still primarily in the bottom lane, and just ended
up with a bit more farm. As another example, in the later stages, when the
jungler started going around ganking people, half of the jungle zone would
be given to their own top lane. Did that count as switching positions? No.
This rule system had originally been designed to target teams that played in
an irregular fashion.
For example, teams who took money to play fake games, choosing talents
blindly or players who messed around in the arena due to personal conflicts
between them and other players…
There had been all sorts of strange occurrences in the early days of the
game, and the rule system had been cobbled together from all these bits and
pieces.
As the competition system matured, this rule had long been forgotten.
No one would consider this rule seriously. There were even some coaches
who were too lazy to fill out the registration form. But…
The regulations were still there, and they were still in force as long as they
weren’t repealed.
No one would say anything about a jungler giving up their jungle zone for a
c-position, but it was strange if the jungle zone was given up to a support
player.
IN had lost messily and hated the soul warlock to death.

Otee felt that the humiliation he’d experienced had reached a peak, and he
felt that FTW’s routine was disgusting. Then… he remembered the
registration form.
So, he’d called over the referee.
As FTW’s opponent, IN hadn’t had full vision in the game just now and
they didn’t know where Wei Xiao had been most of the time. Although the
soul warlock was number one in farm in the match, Wei Xiao had a heap of
kills and assists. Also, he could’ve mooched a bit of farm from the lanes
when he went there to gank, so it would be difficult for him to end up with a
low amount of farm.
High farm didn’t mean that he’d been controlling the jungle zone, and the
power thief’s farm wasn’t low, either. If Bai Cai had been clearing out the
jungle zone resources, then their argument would have some validity.
No matter how invalid and obscure the rule system was, it was still effective
as long as it was in force!
Otee didn’t care about what happened later. It was already enough if they
could rub off some of FTW’s momentum!
As a result…
They’d never thought that Wei Xiao would be even more inhuman than they
could’ve possibly believed.
He’d been ganking, killing, and had even had time to clear the jungle!
And his kill rate for the jungle creeps was as high as 80%. How the f*ck
was that even possible!
Otee had dared to call for the referee because he was certain that this matter
couldn’t be cleared up.
Having a jungle creep kill rate of less than 50% was the norm for toolman
junglers, and having a kill rate of 60% as a jungler core was already
considered good. What the hell was this 80%!
There were roars of laughter from the audience after they saw this data.
Otee just felt a chill run down his back.
He’d tried to trap people, but he’d ended up stepping into a deeper pit on
his own.
His face was pale as he sat in front of the camera, his mind blank.
On FTW’s side.
Bai Cai: “Making his own life difficult with self-inflicted suffering.”
This matter only left FTW feeling disgusted.
Worried?
What was there to be worried about?
This so-called ambiguity didn’t exist at all. Wei Xiao was a jungler, and his
soul warlock had been in the c-position for the whole game. How could the
butterfly flit around so happily without any money?
Besides, who were they looking down on when they attempted to stir up
such things?
Were they looking down on Wei Xiao’s jungler or looking down on Brother
Cai’s support?!
The White Cabbage’s support awareness was very strong. After following
the mad dog-like Wei Little Xiao, he was able to eat only grass and still
manage to squeeze out heals all day long. Did they think that he’d eaten the
jungler creeps just because of his high farm?
They must be joking. He wouldn’t eat them even if Wei Xiao gave them to
him!
Out of the immortal warlock, storm hunter, and shadow thief, which one of
them didn’t require farm?
If there wasn’t Bai Cai there eating dirt, then how would his teammates get
the farm?
Brother Vegetable felt like he’d been insulted!
China’s number one support (self styled) felt greatly humiliated!
Now, things were great. IN had wanted to mess with FTW and had failed,
and now, they sent out another momentum building gift pack.
They’d originally already wanted to crush IN 3:0, and now their

determination had been strengthened.
Their little hearts, which had been slightly inflated from the battle of
freedom, settled again in their chests. Little Ning, Yue Wenle, and even the
salted fish vegetable were getting motivated.
There was still a chance to live if the heavens were messing with you, but if
you made trouble for yourself, there was really no saving yourself.
IN had really tried their best to get themselves killed.
This farce ended, and the battle continued.
IN’s mentality had completely collapsed during the BP, and even they
weren’t clear on what they’d done.
The full-game BP very much tested their mentality. If their brains were
confused, then really big problems could happen.
In the second match, Wei Xiao took the immortal thief, and Lu Feng took
the flying warrior. This was a guerrilla warfare line-up, and reasonably
speaking, the other side should pick a top-lane hero that was good at
protecting the lane and providing support. However, in the end, they took a
berserker warrior…
FTW didn’t plan to engage in team fights with them at all. Who were they
planning to fight with by taking a talent that was strong at starting team
fights?!
In this game, IN was like a monkey that was getting played around with.
They ran around, smashing into walls and had to remain on alert no matter
where they went. It felt like there were immortal thieves and flying warriors
waiting for them everywhere.
Otee was using an ice mage. It had incredibly low mobility and was super
squishy.
Reasonably speaking, the ice mage was very effective against immortal
thieves. As long as they used their control skills well, they could even
counter kill their opponents.
However…
Otee was unable to freeze Wei Xiao even once during the whole game. As
long as the immortal thief showed himself, he would definitely die.
The spirit mage that had died four times already in the previous game
looked like it had performed well when compared with the ice mage that
ended up dying eight times in the second match.
It was a bloody avalanche of a collapse. Everyone could see that IN had no

way to fight back.
Players would be under huge mental pressure after losing two matches in a
row. IN’s support, who had strong ability and good mentality, attempted to
comfort his teammates.
Unfortunately, Otee couldn’t hear a word of what he said, no matter how

much he spoke. After entering the canyon, he seemed to turn into a
frightened bird as long as he saw the thief, and he couldn’t play at all.
In the third game, Otee took a zither warlock. This was IN attempting to
take a circuitous route and heal their marksman.
But Otee, while using a support-type healer mid-lane talent, was still able to
die like a broken twig.
In this match, Wei Xiao used the berserker thief. The berserker thief’s
passive ability ensured that he was a group fight machine.
With the first kill that Otee offered up on a platter, Wei Xiao, who’d stacked
up the berserker thief’s passive and entered an enraged state, played like
he’d entered no man’s land. Each swing of the scythe he sent out landed
accurately, and he just had to pull a player back towards him. FTW’s DPS
would land in a timely manner, hammering IN’s marksman until his head
was covered in bumps.
With their marksman dead, how would IN play in team fights without their
DPS?
They collapsed again and again. By the end, Otee, who clearly had a very
strong survival and protection talent, had died a full ten times.
Finally, the entire audience cheered when FTW took down the crystal!
3:0!
Global top eight!
FTW had won this first victory beautifully!
When they looked at IN again, even those who’d scolded them for being
stupid felt a little distressed for them.
It was a bit sad. Although Otee’s IQ was worrying, the melon seed eaters
hadn’t expected that he would drag the whole team down with him like this.
So…
There was nothing to fear from god-like opponents, the scariest thing was
pig-like teammates.
What would happen to Otee after he returned to his own competition

zone… it was unclear.
What was more embarrassing was the handshake after the game.
When Otee stood in front of FTW and saw the hand that their mid-laner
stretched out from the other side, he just felt like he’d been stabbed in the
back.
He would be flamed to death if he didn’t shake hands, but he would likely

die from depression if he had to shake hands.
IN’s support gave him a push.
Otee awkwardly shook hands with Ning Zhehan.
Little Ning had excellent self-restraint and even smiled slightly. Of course,
he washed his hands fiercely afterwards, but that was later on.
Sixteen into eight. FTW had successfully broken through, and the MVP was
given to Wei Xiao.
When the post-game interview came up, Chen Feng waved his hand. “Go,
go.”
This couldn’t be stopped. The audience was waiting, and the fans would
kick up a fuss if they didn’t let him out.
Wei Xiao comforted him, “Don’t worry, Brother Chen. I definitely won’t
say anything random.”
Chen Feng: “………………”
Like hell do I believe you!
Wei Xiao winked at Lu Feng from in front of the interview table.
The corner of Wei Xiao’s lips curved, and he mouthed something.
Brother Cai, who blocked this scene for him, could see everything clearly.
Lu Feng’s gaze shifted over.

Brother Cai quickly bowed his head: I didn’t see, I didn’t see anything. I
definitely didn’t see this damn smooch that Wei Little Xiao sent out!
The host was filled with joy and didn’t have any intention of embarrassing
Wei Xiao at all. They even blew out a whole basket of rainbow farts.
The soul warlock from the first match, the immortal thief from the second
match, and the berserker thief in the third match had all played beautifully.
This was especially true for Wei Xiao’s KDA, which was so beautiful that it
made people doubt whether or not this was a professional game.
When faced with a host like this who was so good at giving praise, Wei
Xiao had to wait a long time before having the opportunity to speak.
The host asked him, “Is there anything you want to say to everyone?”
Wei Xiao finally managed to seize an opportunity, “In fact, I’m quite
ashamed.”
The host: “???”
Wei Xiao: “The captain let me have this MVP. I’m not worthy of it.”
The host was amused. “You performed very well. You really surprised
everyone in the first match. Oh, right, during that last wave that had the
double light arcs with you and Close…”
At this moment, the host didn’t realize that they’d brought up the key point.
Wei Xiao had waited for a long time, and his chance had finally arrived. So,
he started talking.
What did it mean to blow rainbow farts?
The praise that the host had given earlier could only be considered a little
bit of flattery at best.
What came out of Wei Xiao’s mouth when he opened it was a real rainbow
fart. “Come on, come on, let me analyze the double light arcs for you. In
fact, it’s like this…” Three hundred words were omitted here.
The FTW crowd behind the stage: “…………”
Don’t ask, if you ask, well, they regretted it!
At first, the audience was still listening carefully. Later on…
F*ck, was this brat done yet?!
The audience in the live broadcast studio were laughing themselves silly.
“Little Lunatic Wei’s talking speed is comparable to his hand speed.”
“Too fast, too fast. My mind is filled with Close now.”
“Cub, men can’t be too fast!”
The host had conducted interviews for so many years and had seen both shy
and restrained or bold and generous people, but they’d never seen such a
bratty one who went wild and snatched away the host’s job!
“Um…”
Wei Xiao brought up a topic on his own, “Do you guys want to know the
maximum number of light arcs that can be brushed out by a soul warlock
attached to a shadow thief?”
The host: “!” Wait a minute, who exactly was the host here?
“This depends on…” Wei Xiao smiled mysteriously, “The connection I

have with my captain.”
“Oh, let me explain this connection. It’s an upgraded version of tacit

understanding. In short, it relies on how well the captain and I know each
other…”
The director was winking crazily at the host, and the host finally came back
to their senses!
Alright, alright, if this interview didn’t end now, the next game would never
start!
As the team who was playing in the next game, L&P had already been
waiting for so long that they could’ve cooked an entire meal and let all the
dishes go cold.
Yuan Ze crossed his legs, then put them up on the coffee table. He stared at
the screen. “Do we even need to play? We can be done with it all just by
watching him blather on like this.”
Ch238.1 - What he wanted was for
one plus one to equal at least four!
Wei Xiao still hadn’t finished expressing his thoughts when he had to step
down from the stage.
After he went back, he whispered quietly to Lu Feng, “I still have a lot to

say.”
Brother Cai’s mouth twitched: Aren’t you going to come out of the closet in
front of the whole world if you keep talking!
Lu Feng held his hand lightly in a way so no one could see. “Talk when we
get back.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng coaxed him using a very gentle tone, “Tell only me.”
These three words made Wei Little Xiao fly up to heaven on the spot. The
hair on his head trembled. “Okay~” he lilted, his tone was sweet and crisp,
like sweet milk chocolate.
Brother Cai: “…… I often suspect that I should just settle in under the
table!
There were three games a day for the sixteen into eight part of the
competition. The second game had been FTW vs IN, and the third game
was L&P against the JL competition zone’s champion team.
Everyone from FTW stayed in the lounge to watch the game.

At first, Wei Xiao had still been in high spirits, wanting to see L&P’s
tactics. However, the team from the JL competition zone was really timid.
They were clearly afraid of Yuan Ze and Gary, and they faced the battle of
freedom with dignified expressions, acting like they’d seen a ghost as soon
as they saw the shadow thief and death knight combination.
The death knight in the top lane and the death knight that played jungler
were like two different heroes in Teacher Yuan’s hands.
How crappy he was during the casual game, was equal to how amazing he
was during the proper game.
Oh, calling it amazing was too subtle. He was f*cking ARROGANT,

written in capital letters. It was like he had a sign over his head saying that
he was the best in the world.
Wei Xiao: “If I was JL’s top laner, I would definitely hammer him into
exploding!”
Bandit Yuan was too arrogant. Wei Xiao’s hands were itching to abuse him.
Unfortunately, JL’s top-laner didn’t have the courage that Wei Xiao had.
Forget about abusing Yuan Ze, he was basically pressed to the ground and
being smeared around.
L&P acted leisurely from the start. By the time Gary began to support the
top lane like crazy, the entire L&P had become just like their team name,
leaving only love and peace in the game.
Love was the top-jungler linkage.
Peace was the mid and bottom lanes in L&P.
As for the other side?
They were the opposite––
Abuse and death.

Wei Xiao felt that it was boring to watch. Based on this game, it was better
to…
“Captain~”
“Hm?”
“Solo!”
Ever since Brother Cai learned of the relationship between the two, he
could no longer bear to hear the word solo. He always felt that it wasn’t
pure and innocent, and it was no longer the same hot-blooded sport.
Emm…. In a sense, it was also a bit passionate, and it also occurred

between men.
Holy shit! Stop!
What was a straight man like him thinking about these things for!
Obviously, there was no room for them to solo in the lounge even if Wei
Xiao wanted to play.
Lu Feng: “Not watching the game?”
Wei Xiao was very dismissive. “There’s nothing to watch.”
Could Old Dog Yuan lose? If they lost, then he would laugh at Gary for a
full year!
Old G: “???”
Why is it me!
Lu Feng glanced at the time. “Let’s go.”
It really was meaningless to keep watching. It was a one-sided suppression

game, and L&P hadn’t even used 60% of their strength.
They weren’t like FTW, who still needed to practice new tactics in the
sixteen into eight game. L&P’s line-up and system was already mature.
Why would they have to use the new talents?
Weren’t the pre-existing 100 plus talents good? Any set of line-ups using
those talents were already enough to beat their opponents up.
It was still early by the time they returned back to the base. The timing for
the global competition was very tight. They had games for sixteen into eight
that day, and the following three days were filled with more of the same.
There were a total of eight games packed into four days, and the top eight
list would be released by the weekend.
Oh, FTW had already been shortlisted, but they didn’t know who their next
opponent would be.
Everyone was clear about the situation even without Chen Feng’s reminder.
The sixteen to eight was the easiest game to play. They would face nothing
but hard battles after this.
Eight into four, four into two, and the finals were all games where a bit of
luck would be involved even if they put in 300% effort.
Although the results of the draw for the top four was unclear, FTW couldn’t
just rely on luck.
The eight teams that made it into the shortlist were traditionally put up
against one of the top four.
It meant that last year’s top four wouldn’t be up against each other when
their opponents were selected for the eight into four. Of course, if the top
four stopped at the sixteen into eight, then it would be another story.
However, who were the top four from last year?
Y1, EVE, L&P, Pro.
Would these four teams lose in the sixteen to eight?

Impossible.
So, FTW would face one of these four teams.
As for who it was…
Unimportant.
––Because any one of the four teams was a hard bone to chew. The results
would be difficult to predict even with FTW trying their best.
When faced with such a tense situation, the little ones wouldn’t be willing
to rest even when it hit two or three o’clock in the morning, let alone when
it was only ten in the evening.
Dinner could be skipped, and all they wanted to do was improve themselves
further during this limited time.
Chen Feng didn’t rush to go over the game replay and had them go train
instead.
Wei Xiao pulled Lu Feng along with him to solo, while the three little ones
went to the international servers to solo queue. They used the same talents
from the battle of freedom.
Chen Feng strolled around the training room and felt very happy looking
upon this scene.
FTW might have performed amazingly tonight, and they’d shocked the
whole world with their battle of freedom, but…
There were many practical problems.
Laymen watched the excitement, while the experts examined the details.
Chen Feng had already filled two pieces of paper with his summary, but
Ning Zhehan, Yue Wenle, and the others could also sense their own
shortcomings.
Testing their new line-up during the sixteen to eighteen was crazy, but it
was indeed effective.
They really wouldn’t have been able to see so many problems if they hadn’t
taken it out and used it.
IN had been cautious on the surface even while they had been looking down
on the enemy in their hearts. In particular, they had really looked down on
Bai Cai, believing that his power thief was just decorative. They hadn’t
taken him seriously, so they’d ended up ganked by Wei Xiao and Bai Cai at
the start of the game.
This routine could only be used once. There was a global live broadcast,
and everyone could have seen their game. They all now understood that
Brother Cai wasn’t messing around with his power thief.
In that case, they wouldn’t be able to trick their opponents so easily next
time, no matter who they went up against.
What’s more, who were they going to encounter in the next game?
Yuan Ze and Gary?
They could hammer Brother Vegetable until he went into seclusion.
EVE’s CC and Miller?
Xie He could go from the mid-lane straight into the jungle zone and get a
double kill.
Pro’s Park Guizhi wasn’t easy to provoke, either. Wei Xiao’s jungler might
be a bit more fierce, but he was more than enough when it came to abusing
a vegetable.
And there was no need to mention Y1. They might use a soul warlock
themselves, but their jungler wouldn’t be a support who switched roles
halfway!
They were all old pros. Wei Little Xiao and Bai Caicai’s little tricks were
nothing but child’s play in their eyes.
So, the problems with the soul warlock had been exposed.
It was too weak before level 6.
How weak was it?
Not only did Wei Xiao lack the power to even truss up a chicken, even the
shadow thief and the immortal warlock had to develop sufficiently to obtain
their ultimate moves. It was already pretty good if they didn’t miss any of
their lane soldiers; how could they also support the jungle zones?
Forget it, forget it, that wasn’t providing support, it was giving out a triple
kill.
The storm hunter was strong in the early stages, but an ADC couldn’t
provide support in the top-jungler zone so early in the game.
Providing support across the map would affect many aspects of their
development, and the gain wasn’t worth the loss.
So…
How could they compensate for this problem?
Chen Feng stopped by Bai Cai’s side and stared at his screen.
Brother Cai was playing jungler with the power thief in the international
server.
His power thief had a national server badge, but Wei Xiao had been the one
to get it for him. It wasn’t worth much.
Brother Cai could play somewhat effectively in a casual game, but this level
of awareness and operations…
Yuan Ze could kill three of him with a single attack.
Building up a jungler king in four or five days was impossible.
The soul warlock system would break into shattered pieces if it was beaten
into collapse before level six.
Then, what should they do?
Chen Feng was a bit worried.
The players had come up with such a good system and played out such a
good effect. The coaching team should help them improve the overall
planning for the routine and help them refine it. Otherwise, what use were
they?
Not only was Chen Feng thinking about this, Wei Xiao’s brain also hadn’t
stopped for a moment.
He soloed with Lu Feng while mulling over today’s game.
What could be sensed by those on the court was quite different from those
off the court. As the absolute core of this system, Wei Xiao’s feelings were
deeper than anyone else’s.
Although everyone was saying it was good and everyone was cheering and
the audience had let it all get to their heads––
––Wei Xiao knew that he hadn’t played out the desired effect.
Double thousand layers of clouds, double stepping on raindrops, and double

light arcs wasn’t what he wanted.
What he wanted was a bigger jump in improvement.
Not just the effect of having flowers bloom wherever he went.
What was the difference between the soul warlock and an ordinary jungler?
It was all based on being able to gank, catch people, and fight for rhythm.
Wei Xiao hoped that the whole team would take a considerable leap. It
should be that the soul warlock gave more to his teammates, rather than a
simple one plus one equals two.
What he wanted was for one plus one to equal at least four!
What did a small bit of improvement amount to? What he wanted was for
the team to take on a whole new level of awareness.
Just take a little more time.
Even if it was just a month, it would be enough.
Sigh…
Wei Xiao exhaled, suppressing this regret and paying attention to the
present.
No one would wait for you, and no one would give you more time.
It was the same for everyone. The ability to grasp the present meant that
they could control their future.
The screen went dark. Wei Xiao had been stabbed to death by his boyfriend
once again.
Lu Feng looked at him. “Continue?”
Wei Xiao: “Continue!”
In fact, Lu Feng knew that Wei Xiao was playing absent-mindedly, and he
knew that he was thinking things through.
But it didn’t matter.
It was unknown when it’d started, but solo between the two of them had
become a way for them to relax and think.
Their entire person became absorbed in the competition in the canyon, but it
somehow also helped them think.
Ch238.2 - Creating a new Team of
Gods!
After Wei Xiao died over ten times in a row, Lu Feng looked at him. “Do
you want to eat watermelon?”
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up. “Yes!”
Lu Feng pushed his chair back and got up.
Wei Xiao got up quickly as well. “I’ll go with you.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Little Ning heard them and was just about to say, “I…”
Brother Cai elbowed him.
Little Ning: “Ouch!”
Brother Cai glared at him after the two of them left. “What are you doing?”
Little Ning felt very aggrieved. “I want to eat watermelon, too…”
Brother Cai: “There’s no more. There’s only one and it’s not even enough
for Wei Little Xiao to eat.”
Little Ning: “Oh……”
Only after he continued playing his ranked games did the poor granny gray
recall: Just one? The base was stocked up with several boxes of
watermelons all year round.
As everyone knew, Brother Xiao relied on watermelon to survive. If there
was no watermelon in the base, then Brother Xiao would kick up a fuss.
Brother Liu had to prepare this ‘food’ even when they went abroad. How
could there only be one left???
Besides, Brother Cai had been playing ranked games the whole time. How
would he know that there was only one?
Little Ning, who wanted to eat melon but wasn’t able to, didn’t realize that
he’d narrowly passed by a big melon of gossip.
Wei Xiao really did go to eat watermelon. He also had a kiss with every
bite.
Lu Feng dug out watermelon seeds for him with a fork.
Wei Xiao’s heart felt as sweet as honey, but his mouth insisted on saying,
“I’ll do it myself.”
Lu Feng fed him a bite. “Is it sweet?”
Wei Xiao: “Super sweet!”
Lu Feng leaned in and kissed him. “It is very sweet.”
Wei Xiao’s heart was pounding. There were no more thoughts of the soul
warlock in his head as it was all filled with his boyfriend.
“Don’t seduce me.” Wei Xiao kept himself sober. “I still want to solo.”
Lu Feng fed him another piece, “5v5 is a team game.”
This somewhat abrupt sentence left Wei Xiao stunned.
Lu Feng continued, “Don’t take it all on yourself.”
Wei Xiao bit down on the watermelon, and his mouth filled with sweetness.
This refreshing taste resonated on the tip of his tongue, helping him find
enlightenment.
Yeah…
The 5v5 game was a team game.
The soul warlock was a talent that was born for the team.
He……
Wei Xiao smiled and leaned over to kiss Lu Feng. “I see!”
The hint of a smile also appeared at the corner of Lu Feng’s lips. “So, don’t
worry.”
Wei Xiao nodded hard. “Yeah!”
Lu Feng: “Losing the match is also okay. We don’t only have the battle of
freedom.”
Wei Xiao exhaled softly and said solemnly, “Right!”
Wei Xiao’s thinking had been stuck at a dead end before.
The soul warlock system had been too effective, and it held too much
potential.
Strength would inevitably draw one’s eye. What Wei Xiao was thinking
about was how to lead his teammates to play to their fullest potential.
But he’d forgotten that it was a team game.
His teammates relied on him, and he should also rely on his teammates.
This so-called complementary potential wasn’t something that could be

created by one person alone.
Wei Xiao could help Ning Zhehan brush out his thousand layers of clouds
quicker.
Ning Zhehan could also help Wei Xiao brush out his thousand layers of
clouds more easily.
Wei Xiao was only thinking about adding bonuses to Ning Zhehan, but he
hadn’t thought about how Ning Zhehan could help him!
Only by pursuing mutual achievements could they be a team.
The true potential of the soul warlock lay in unity.
Not in how much one plus one could make.
It was about harmony as a whole.
Only in this way could they give full play to their absolute strength, without
any upper limits!
Infinite glory.
Unlimited possibilities.
FTW’s future was promising!
Wei Xiao could finally see things clearly. Lu Feng had unraveled the knot
that had weighed down on him all night.
He felt comfortable all over and wasn’t able to sit still again.
“Captain!”
“Hm?”
“It’s getting late. Why don’t we…”
Lu Feng put away the plate of watermelon. “Training.”
Wei Xiao smiled like a fox. “Solo in be…”

There was no way to shut Wei Xiao up unless Lu Feng kissed him until he
couldn’t speak.
There was no suspense about L&P’s win.
Pro played the next day, and there was no suspense there either.
EVE played on the third day. Xie He set the record for the fastest match in
this year’s global competition. Their game ended in 22 minutes after their
opponents suffered a bloody collapse in their mentality.
At this point, the sixteen into eight ended, and the list for the top eight
teams was released.
Y1, FTW, L&P, Pro, EVE…
There wasn’t much suspense there either. All the teams from the Team of
Gods had been promoted.
Next was entering the top four in the eight into four round.
FTW had been going through special closed door training for the past three
days.
The fans were looking forward to the games every day. On one hand, they
wanted to see the soul warlock go up onto the stage again, and on the other,
they were afraid that Little Lunatic Wei would stumble when faced with the
Team of Gods.
On one hand, they wanted FTW to happily rush into the top four, but on the
other hand, they were afraid that they would lose in the top eight.
The top eight…
China had never been able to achieve such good results in three years.
But they were unreconciled!
They weren’t willing to let things just stop here!

They wanted to be better, they wanted to be even better.
As the champion team of the host competition zone, winning the world
championship this year would be especially meaningful, and enough for
them to go down in the history of Glory!
Becoming gods through one battle, that was what was waiting for FTW’s
four little ones!
The entire China competition zone was looking forward to defeating the
Team of Gods from the past and creating a new Team of Gods!
The competition committee continued acting inhumane. They were

determined to leave people’s hearts hanging in their throats.
The opponents for the eight into four would be determined by on-site
lottery.
How would they draw lots?
Have the eight teams go up and draw lots?
No…
According to their rules where the last year’s top four wouldn’t meet each
other in the eight into four round, the top four would draw their own
opponents directly!
Who FTW would go up against had already become the hottest topic over
the whole internet.
Hot searches went up one after another, and everyone nervously stalked the
live broadcast room.
Yes… how could such an important thing not be broadcasted live?
Representatives from the four teams would draw lots on the spot, the host
would announce it on the spot, and the eight into four match chart would
also be announced at the same time.
The other four teams from the top eight were also at the scene, waiting for
the results.
Was FTW nervous?
Not necessarily.
This was a predestined result. They’d already been mentally prepared for
several days, and even Little Ning was calm.
Getting Y1 would be fine.
Or L&P.
So what if it was EVE or Pro?
They had to run into one of them eventually or even both of them.
The top four, the semi-finals, the finals.
To hell with being afraid!
The first team to draw was Y1. Yan Jiang didn’t go up. It was their jungler
God Hai who went up onto the stage, greeted everyone, and accepted an
interview.
The host simply asked them who they wanted to draw the most. Hai opened
his mouth and replied, “It should be FTW.”
The camera cut to show FTW. Wei Xiao smiled and waved. He wasn’t
cowering at all.
The live broadcast scrolling comments: “No need, no need, Y1, we don’t
want to meet you!”
“Little Lunatic, you might not be afraid, but your mama is afraid. Save me!
Don’t run into God Yan!”
“I don’t want us to run into God Kim, God Xie, or Old Bandit Yuan either,
what should we do!”
“If I have to choose… f*ck, Laozi can’t choose!”
Hai pulled out a card. The host looked at it, then smiled slightly, “It seems
that God Hai is going to be disappointed.” It wasn’t FTW.
Hai smiled, “We’re looking forward to the next opportunity.”
The next to go up and draw was EVE. Xie He didn’t go up, either. Their
beautiful coach was the one to go up on stage.
The live broadcast studio descended into a revelry for straight men as soon
as the blonde beauty appeared.
She had white skin, was beautiful and sexy, and was enough to make
everyone envy EVE’s players.
The host also interviewed Coach Echo. “Who does EVE want to play
against?”
Echo spoke in French, “Of course it’s FTW.”
FTW again!
Were the top four teams all focused on FTW?!
The camera swept over again, and Wei Xiao continued to wave in greeting.
He even added a wink.
––Let alone panic, he was complacent and owning it!
However, EVE didn’t draw FTW.
The audience couldn’t relax, since Pro and L&P were up next.
None of them were easy opponents.

Especially since these two teams had history with FTW from back during
the winter training camp.
One of them had a top-jungler linkage that they couldn’t beat.
The other had a marksman daddy that they couldn’t kill.
To some extent, both of them were psychological shadows on FTW.
If they had to choose one…
Half the fans compromised and said, “Pro, then… ying, what if God Ran
makes a mistake and the Little Lunatic is able to bite Proud Flower Kim to
death? Then FTW can win.”
The other half of the fans compromised in another direction, “L&P, then.
After all, they’re so familiar. Maybe our top-jungler can win against
them…”
It was a fifty-fifty chance. They could only keep worrying!
The third team to go up and draw was L&P.
This time, the results were basically determined. If they drew FTW, then
their opponents would be L&P. if they didn’t, then it would be Pro.
Gary came up to represent L&P. Old G rubbed his hands.
The host asked him the same question. Gary’s style was a bit strange, and
he opened his mouth to share his ‘beautiful’ Chinese. “I’d rather not pull
FTW.”
The two teams before him had only wanted to draw FTW. Why did L&P
not want to?
The host asked about this curiously.
Gary’s reasoning was very justifiable. “It would be bad if the little lunatic
kicked us out after we beat them.”
Well… Everyone knew that L&P was living at the FTW base. Old G was
quite self-aware.
So, Gary reached in with his big hand and pulled out a card.
The host was amused when she saw it.
Old G: “……”
The huge FTW team emblem came into view, and the whole audience
laughed.
Alright then, the teams who wanted FTW didn’t get them, and those who
didn’t want them got them!
Ch239 - Everyone working
together!
As the last team, Pro didn’t have to draw a team. There was only one team
left to be their opponents.
The match list for the eight into four came out, fresh out of the oven, and
the brightest highlight was undoubtedly the third game, L&P vs FTW!
Old G was unable to smile anymore after getting this result. He looked
gloomy and sad, as if FTW was a strong enemy who couldn’t be defeated.
This undoubtedly made the audience from China feel great.
Some were complacent, “FTW’s pretty good. They made last year’s runner-
up feel so worried.”
“Although I don’t think we have a high chance of winning, I’m happy just
seeing Old G look like this!”
“Sigh, this is bad luck. If the Team of Gods encountered each other, then
maybe we could’ve grabbed a bargain and rushed into the top four.”
“Unfortunately, the competition committee is inhuman and insists on letting

the top four stay around until the end…”
“There’s no helping it. They’re strong, and the strong are untouchable.”
There were some who were puzzled, “Does God G have to go so far? If
L&P plays against FTW, I might not dare to say that their win rate is 80%,
but it’s at least 70%.”
“How could there be such an absolute thing? FTW was super strong in the
sixteen to eight!”
“But that doesn’t mean you can just step on other people’s prestige to
increase your ambitions. Oh, even though that’s us…”
I think… it might be mostly guilt?”
“What’s there to be guilty about? They’re just borrowing a place from

FTW. They just have to pay rent and be done with it, it’s not like they have
to give up the championship for them too!”
“It must be because of Captain Yuan…”
Many fans of the Team of Gods burst out into tears when these words came
out.
The director also purposely switched the camera over to show a close up of
Old G’s face. He had thick features, but his eyes were a particularly clear
blue and his eyelashes were very long. When he looked towards a corner
beneath the stage, his expression seemed a little timid.
Yuan Ze sat there.
The fans who saw this scene, “…………”
“Right through the heart!”
“So, this means Yuan Ze didn’t want to go up against FTW, and now, Old G
feels bad for the captain’s sake?”
“Why does Old Dog Yuan not want to play against FTW?”
“Oh man, like I said, Scum Man Yuan is actually the most soft-hearted
one!”
“What’s he being soft-hearted about?”
“He doesn’t want to be the one to eliminate Lulu!”

Many people really started shedding tears on the spot when they saw this
scrolling comment.
They might scold and curse or they may hate on them.
But they still loved this Team of Gods who had once led the China
competition zone in shocking the entire world.
No one had a good time during that first year after the Team of Gods had
split up.
Of the three that had gone abroad, even Yuan Ze, a mixed blood who had
lived in North America for many years, encountered obstacles everywhere
and had a rough time.
Not to mention Yan Jiang and Xie He who were in the European
competition zone.
Players who had been safe in their own home country who got labeled with
the title of ‘betrayer’ for going to a foreign country and losing favour at the
same time. Nobody would bless their leaving.
In front of them were strange and hostile ‘teammates’, while behind them
were compatriots who shamelessly abused them and wanted them to die
while abroad…
The old fans who were unable to let go of them were almost tortured into
pieces that year.
They cursed FTW, called the management trash, scolded fate for being
unfair…
But they could only curse and scold.
Close was having difficulty holding up at home, while they travelled alone
abroad.
That year had been the darkest year. The Team of Gods was like fallen stars,
becoming insignificant rubble that almost sank to the bottom of the water.
However, they were unwilling and unreconciled to being ordinary, and they
didn’t give in.
The next year, they began to glow and heat up.
Top four!
Runner up!
In just one season, they stood on the brightest stage again, thriving and
glorious.
Only Close, only their FTW, fell again and again. They went from being the
top team in the world to the laughing stock of the China competition zone.
Did the Team of Gods want to meet FTW in the globals?
Yes.
And no.
They wanted to have another good fight.
But they were also afraid of completely destroying their former home.
Yuan Ze was the most promising player for the singles championship, but
he had abstained.
L&P’s senior management had criticized this and given Yuan Ze trouble
over this many times.
Later, Yuan Ze picked out Old G from the youth training camp, taught him
to play jungler, taught him how to play thieves, and also taught him solo…
Only after Gary could participate in the single player competition did LP&P
let Yuan Ze off the hook.
From time to time, the post game interview for the globals would also
include a question to Yuan Ze: “Why not participate in the singles? Is it
because of Close?”
Yuan Ze was not the type to speak the human language. He opened his
mouth and started, “Yeah…”
The host: “For the sake of old memories…”
Without waiting for the rest of such words to come out, Yuan Ze’s arrogant
and domineering reply came, “Because I hate him, I hate this kind of
favored genius the most.”
At the time, China had scolded Yuan Ze for a whole season because of this
sentence. After that, L&P won the globals, and the fans wanted to throw
tomatoes at their own computers.
They were so angry! How did this scum deserve to win the championship!
At the time, many people felt distressed for Close and distressed for FTW.
The domestic fans were unprecedentedly united.
And it was in that year that Close found Quiet.
It was also that year that Mo Hui and Fu Li entered the professional arena.
That year, there were signs of recovery for China…
The Yuan Ze who brought about bloody rain and storms, who was referred
to as Old Bandit Yuan by thousands of people…
––Was gentler and softer than anyone else.
After the draw, it was unusually silent inside L&P’s van on the way back to
the base.
Yuan Ze sat on his own in the front row. His posture was still arrogant, and
his long legs were stretched out. His elbows rested against the side of the
window as his light gray eyes stared out into the traffic outside.
Old G didn’t say anything. No one made a single sound.

The car was quiet, filled only with the sound of breathing.
It wasn’t far from the venue to the base. When they arrived, Yuan Ze got off
first.
Gary followed.
Yuan Ze gave him a sidelong look. “Cigarette?”
Gary hesitated.
Seeing Yuan Ze frowning in impatience, Old G could only take out his box
of cigarettes and lightly tip out a thin cigarette.
In order to smoke less, Old G had recently started bringing ladies’ cigarettes
with him!
Yuan Ze made an expression of distaste. “Feminine.”
Gary: “…………” He felt aggrieved but didn’t dare say it!
A ladies’ cigarette was still a cigarette. Yuan Ze took one, and Gary could
only take out his lighter.
Yuan Ze accepted it, and there was a snap as he lit it up.
His slender fingers curled around the slim cigarette, while the five digits of
his other hand played casually with the lighter. If this scene could be seen
by his fans, there would be another round of shrill screams.
Old G wanted to scream too. He wanted to tell him to be careful and avoid
dropping his lighter onto the ground!
Yuan Ze stared at him.
Gary’s eyes were glued to the lighter.
Yuan Ze tossed it at him. “How promising.”

Old G caught it like it was a treasure and stopped just short of blowing on
it.
Yuan Ze spoke leisurely, “Big brother will buy you another one if it’s
broken.”
Oh, this had also been a gift from Yuan Ze to Gary. It was last year’s
birthday present.
Gary: “It’s a limited edition one; it can’t be bought!”
Yuan Ze rolled his eyes at him.
Old G knew that Yuan Ze was in a bad mood, but he didn’t know how to
coax people. Let alone when it was Yuan Ze…
Gary wouldn’t be able to understand his captain in this lifetime.
Yuan Ze smoked the ladies’ cigarette and felt that it just lacked flavour.
“Let’s go.”
Gary: “Ranking?”
Yuan Ze: “To buy cigarettes.”
Gary: “…………”
Compared with the depressed mood in L&P, FTW was actually better off.
Even the most timid Little Ning was in good shape. Wei Xiao tilted his head
to look at him, “Aren’t you scared?”
Ning Zhehan spoke boldly, “I am!”
Ning Zhehan then went to scratch at his hair. “Just… I’m also not.”
This being scared, then not being scared.

Ning Zhehan felt embarrassed, but he still had some ideas in his heart. “I…
I’m not thinking so much about it. Right now, winning any game is
considered as having gained something!”
There was a smile in Wei Xiao’s eyes. “That’s great, Little Ning.”
Chen Feng heard this too. He’d originally been slightly nervous, but it
turned into him being comforted by a cub.
Tang Chen clapped his hands and shouted, “You’re right!”
Every game they played was a game they’d gained. This mentality was
really good.
Just think about FTW’s situation or even the situation for the entire China
competition zone.
It was already an unexpected achievement for them to be able to break

through from sixteen to eight. It was something they wouldn’t have dared
think about last year.
A new team, with two newcomers who were new to the arena.
Even Bai Cai and Yue Wenle had never fought officially on the global
stage.
Their only experienced player was Lu Feng, and he’d also switched
positions.
For the new FTW, for them to be able to reach this point meant that every
step had been an upward battle!
Ning Zhehan, who was most prone to mental collapse, had already survived
the most painful period of growth.
Even when faced with the Team of Gods, there wasn’t anything to be afraid
of.
There was no need to be nervous for the fight for the top four.
They had broken records with every step taken. They just had to fight
without feeling pressured and see it through!
Everyone in FTW was in excellent form, while their fellow brother teams
were even more nervous.
First, there was RR. Money almost sent himself into poverty inviting a
Michelin level chef to the FTW base to prepare dinner.
All the ingredients were imported by air. There were rare delicacies and
exotic fruits. Except for things that hadn’t been discovered yet, there was
nothing that Money couldn’t obtain.
How much did it cost?
Don’t mention it. Mentioning it hurt Captain Mo.
Everyone from RR came along. Money spoke past the pain, “There’s good
food and drink!” In particular, he winked at his team members and gave an
extremely obvious suggestion, “Eat back the money that Laozi spent!”
Brother Cai was surprised. “You said this was a show of support. Why are
you eating more than we are!”
Money: “We’re helping you eat. What if you eat too much and get
indigestion that affects you during the game?”
After saying that, he put the last piece of Wagyu beef into his own bowl.
Bai Cai: “………………………………”
Money, why don’t you get lost and go back to your family and inherit the
business? Why do you insist on living the ‘hard life’ here!
After dinner, the two teams played training matches for several hours.
Moonlit also took Little Ning away for solo training.
Money was sour. “My family’s Little Moon-moon is the real number one
mage king in China!”
Even before Bai Cai could disdain him, Fu Li, who’d just arrived, replied,
“Ha-ha.”
Money was immediately on alert against Fox Fu. “What are you doing
here!”
Fu Li had never gotten along smoothly with this prince, and he mocked him
impolitely, “In short, not acting like you, someone who only knows how to
eat, drink, and have fun.”
Money: “……”
Fu Li went directly to the coaching team and plugged in a USB. The

contents were loaded up, and the door to the coaching team room closed, no
longer allowing anyone else in.
Eurostar-star smiled like a fox. “Captain Mo is here too.”
Mo Hui hated Fu Li, but he was very fond of Eurostar. “I came with Little
Moon.”
Eurostar blinked. “Where’s Moonlit?”
Mo Hui raised his chin. “Special training in the doubles room.”
Eurostar got it.
He smiled slightly. “Okay then, Captain Mo, you can keep playing. I’m
going to go and be busy.” He purposely emphasized the word ‘busy’.
Mo Hui: “???”
Eurostar: “Lele is waiting for me.”
Oh… you all have special training goals. There was only Mo Hui…
As a jungler, what kind of special training could he do? Wouldn’t he just be

beaten up until his face was all bruised up by FTW’s two jungler kings?
Eurostar also went into the training room. Mo Hui only realized after the
fact. “Caicai, was Eurostar mocking me?”
Bai Cai: “………………”
Mo Hui thought it over. “F*ck! The fox’s subordinates really are little
foxes!”
Out of those who came to provide support, other than Mo Hui who had
brought food and drink, everyone else was quite busy.
Captain Fu went straight to the coaching team and gave a first class tactical
revision course.
Moonlit led little Ning around, testing fighting with everything from the
immortal warlock to even the void mage.
Eurostar and Yue Wenle could play around, too. One of them was timid,
while the other was reckless. There were really things that they could learn
from each other.
From 3U, although Captain Asleep was also a ‘useless’ jungler king…
Combining Cong Yi and Asleep made them super useful.
3U was also able to use the soul warlock system.
Cong Yi had already mastered much of the soul warlock. Although he

wasn’t as much of an all-rounder as Wei Xiao, he had an awfully deep
understanding of Asleep’s talent pool.
Asleep gave pointers to Brother Cai.
Cong Yi directly attached himself to Brother Cai.
Caicai was too busy to worry about anything else.
Therefore…
Money became even more lonely. Even that vegetable stalk had abandoned
him!
FTW, who was going ahead at full steam, had their time filled to the brim
every day.
They strengthened the soul warlock line-up, the double thief line-up, Yue
Wenle’s late stage marksmen, and Ning Zhehan’s assassin mage talents.
Brother Cai…
The salted fish vegetable was even more bitter! He was a small support who
sought to live a zen life. Why did he have to undergo double training with
Brother Sleep and God Yi at the same time!
Bai Caicai couldn’t figure it out and went to talk to Brother Soy in the
evening.
Brother Soy’s tongue was lolling, its blue eyes open wide. It accosted him.
“Ao!”
Caicai looked at it.
Brother Soy: “Arooo!”
Brother Cai said suddenly, “Brother Soy, how about I find you a wife?”
Brother Soy tilted his head.
Brother Cai hugged it. “Living as a single dog is really difficult!”
The entire China competition zone was very fired up about the battle for the
top four.
The fans were all clear about professional players’ game accounts. As long
as they looked them up slightly, they would be able to see hints of what
they were doing.
This, coupled with the paparazzi’s candid shots, which showed Mo Hui
going in and out of FTW’s base the most often…
At first, everyone thought that it was because he had a good relationship

with Lu Feng. They thought Money was hanging out for free food and
board while cheering for the team.
Later on…
“Holy shit, Moon God is soloing with God Ning again!”
“My Star-star has been training with Yue Lele for two hours!”
“Let me say something scary… Brother Cai is in a doubles game with God
Yi…”
Two supports playing doubles? The fans could feel goosebumps rise up on
their skin!
Many scripts were submitted to the Gossip Emperor. This mixture of

random gossip was enough to really spark fireworks across the China
competition zone.
However, their Gossip Emperor was busy honing his skills. He didn’t have
time to read those short articles; he himself had already become the
protagonist of many of them!
And he was the always, always, always, always the shou!
The gossip Emperor was suffering, but the gossip Emperor couldn’t say it
out loud.
While they charged ahead at full steam, the great demon king remained cool
and calm.
Mo Hui would occasionally catch sight of Wei Little Xiao. He remarked,

“Close is really capable. He doesn’t even know what tension and fear are in
this life!”
Wei Xiao naturally praised his own captain for a while, but then he
considered it again carefully and realized that his captain’s mood really
didn’t seem quite right…
Ch240 - Wei Xiao spoke quietly. “I
heard it... helps relieve stress.”
How to put it?
Close’s mood was probably similar to his light arcs.
Other than Little Xiao, others couldn’t really sense it.
Happy or unhappy.
Nervous or tranquil.
They were all the same. Even without mentioning Mo Hui, it was difficult
for Chen Feng, who’d been with him for so many years, to judge his
emotional state.
Only Wei Little Xiao could tease the great demon king until his eyes held a
smile and also manage to notice that the great demon king’s mood wasn’t
right.
Wei Xiao had been very busy these past few days. He’d been busy with
testing all kinds of attachment for the soul warlock, testing various ways to
get used to things, and all kinds of methods in order to build up physical
memory of operations.
At this moment, he left behind all his training and slipped out of the training
room to find Lu Feng in his study.
As FTW’s results grew better and better and as they played more and more
games, there was also more and more club business to deal with.
Even if there was a division of labor and cooperation amongst various
departments, as the head, Lu Feng still had to keep a handle on everything
and go over everything at least once.
Close’s energy levels weren’t like that of an ordinary person. This was a
truth that Wei Little Xiao could attest to!
Wei Xiao took a cup of watermelon juice with him and slipped in.
Lu Feng lifted his gaze. “Hm?”
Wei Xiao sat on the edge of the desk, casually set down the watermelon
juice, and supported himself with one hand as he leaned towards him.
“President Lu, rest for a while?”
Lu Feng set down the documents in his hand and looked at him. “What,
tired of training?”
Wei Xiao was close enough that he could nuzzle in lightly and kiss him on
the neck.
Wei Xiao had come to coax him, but he ended up being coaxed until his
legs were soft instead.
He calmed his heart, then said, “Captain, the eight into four game is
tomorrow.”
As soon as he said this, Lu Feng’s hand that was holding his waist paused
slightly.
This tiny gap was something that only the attentive and careful Wei Little
Xiao could detect.
Wei Xiao came down from the desk and slipped into his arms, wrapping his
own arms around Lu Feng’s neck to look at him. “Nervous?”
Lu Feng looked into his eyes. “What’s there to be nervous about?”

Wei Xiao: “Being afraid of losing…”
Lu Feng rubbed the tip of his nose. “Are you afraid?”
Wei Xiao lowered his eyelashes and didn’t make a sound.
Lu Feng’s heart grew soft.
Wei Xiao was never afraid in front of anyone else. He wasn’t scared of the
heavens or the earth, and he was even less afraid of the competition!
But in actual fact, he was afraid. He was more scared than anyone else.
If they couldn’t win the championship… Ning Zhehan, Yue Wenle, and Bai
Cai would all have other chances.
What about him?
What about Close?
What about FTW?
What could they do with the terms of that ridiculous bet hanging over
them?
Wei Xiao couldn’t afford to lose.
Lu Feng knew what he was thinking. He spoke gently, “Don’t be scared,

it’ll be fine.”
Wei Xiao had really come to coax his boyfriend, but his boyfriend was
coaxing him instead. He even grew smug and wanted to take advantage.
Wei Xiao spoke quietly. “I heard that making love… helps relieve stress.”
Lu Feng held him down. “Don’t mess around.”

Wei Xiao wanted to mess around. “I’m under a lot of pressure now. I need
to relieve it!”
Lu Feng exhaled deeply and stared at him.
Wei Xiao: “Okay, okay…” Aggrieved.
Lu Feng shook his head helplessly and kissed him between his eyebrows.
Wei Xiao was still thinking about what he’d come for. He looked at him
again. “Captain, what about you?”
Lu Feng knew what Wei Xiao was asking.
There was something off with his mood. He could hide it from everyone
else, but he couldn’t hide it from Little Xiao.
But when it came to talking about it, he also didn’t know what to say.
Wei Xiao was clever and got right to the heart of the matter. “Are you
worried about Captain Yuan?”
He would only address Yuan Ze this way when he was being serious.
There was no need to say more. His expression was enough for Wei Xiao to
understand.
This understanding made him feel like his heart had been stuffed with a
large marshmallow. It was sweet, but a little bitter.
Such a good Close, such a gentle Close, how had Wei Xiao managed to
encounter such a person?
He’d even fallen in love with him and found a home in his heart. He’d
taken over and wouldn’t let go!
Ever since he’d come to FTW, Wei Xiao often felt both a sense of
invincibility and luck.
Wei Xiao whispered, “It’s alright, Teacher Yuan is very strong.”
Wei Xiao was able to guess most of Lu Feng’s concerns.
L&P vs FTW.
Regardless of whether it was Yuan Ze or Lu Feng.
There were similarities to be found.
They were all worried about each other.
Yuan Ze was sure that he could win. He didn’t want to personally eliminate
FTW and didn’t want to be the one to defeat Close.
No matter how many times he provoked him openly, no matter how much
he seemed to look down on FTW, he’d always been concerned internally.
Why did he pay so much attention to Wei Xiao during winter training
camp?
Because he wanted Close to have teammates. He wanted FTW to be able to

stand up again, and he wanted Close to find glory.
But now…
He was going to personally suppress this rising sun, cut off their hope and
ruin the achievements they’d made with their efforts so far.
When he thought of these things, Yuan Ze’s heart felt very stifled.
And Lu Feng was thinking that Yuan Ze didn’t have it easy.
It wasn’t easy living alone in North America. It had been difficult for him to
gain a foothold in L&P, and Yuan Ze had lost to Y1 last year. He’d been
under great pressure from his entire competition zone. This time…
If L&P stopped at the top eight and went back to North America, Yuan Ze
would be flamed to death.
So, Lu Feng’s mood was very complicated.
Win? They had to win.
Neither side could give in.
But they also couldn’t let it go.
Wei Xiao’s heart felt sour and sore. “Yuan Ze isn’t that fragile.”
“Really!” Wei Xiao looked up at him. “He’s probably afraid of beating you
into tears!”
It had to be said that Wei Xiao was very good at reading people. He
twiddled his fingers and spoke words that weren’t far from Yuan Ze’s real
thoughts. “… He must feel that he’ll definitely be able to win and that it’s
cruel that he has to eliminate us. Maybe he’s having difficulty bringing
himself to do it.”
As he spoke, Wei Xiao got more fired up. “That Old Bandit must be looking
down on us in his heart!”
Wei Xiao grew more and more energetic. “He must feel that he has a 100%
win rate and his position in the top four is stable. He must feel that he can
beat us up and kick you down, that he’s invincible and confident and no one
in the world can…”
His words were too amusing. It made Lu Feng’s mouth unconsciously curve
up.
Wei Xiao stood up and stopped bothering Lu Feng. “Captain, you continue
working. I’ll be back soon.”
Without waiting for Lu Feng to ask, he answered first, “I’m going to go find
Yuan Ze!”
Then, he dropped fierce words of his own. “If he dares to take it easy, I’m
going to scold him for a whole year!”
He’d arrived quickly, then left just as fast.
But the suffocating feeling Lu Feng had been feeling over the past few days
had cleared up after this visit from Wei Xiao.
What was the point in thinking so much about it?
It had been three years. Hadn’t they been waiting for this moment?
Wei Xiao really went to go and find Yuan Ze. He poked him on WeChat and
the two of them started double queuing.
Yuan Ze played carelessly, both lazily and sloppily.
Wei Xiao disdained him. “You can’t be thinking that your eight into four is
a guaranteed win.”
Yuan Ze felt uncomfortable in his heart, but the words from his mouth were
still angry. “When the time comes, don’t get so angry you sweep us out the
door.”
Wei Xiao: “Ha, ha.”
Yuan Ze: “Are you really going to vent your anger?”
Wei Xiao: “Dream on!”

Wei Xiao snapped at him. “Play well in the game. If you do badly, don’t
even think about stepping into FTW again in this lifetime.”
It wasn’t that he’d be kicked out if he won, but that he’d be driven away if
he didn’t play well.
Yuan Ze groped around the desk and couldn’t find a cigarette. He could
only use his fingers to type: “Confidence is a good thing, but if you want to
win…”
Wei Xiao interrupted him. “This isn’t something you need to worry about.”
Wei Xiao was merciless as he spoke word by word. “Yuan Ze, who are you
looking down on? Am I, Wei Xiao, not worthy of having you put in the
effort, or is my captain unworthy? Or is the whole FTW team not worthy of
having your L&P fight seriously?”
Yuan Ze was choked half-dead by his words.
Wei Xiao had even harsher words to deliver after that. “Don’t say that I
didn’t remind you, how old are you? Don’t you have some understanding in
your heart?”
Talk properly, why mention age!
Wei Xiao had poked right to the heart of the matter. “You’re already
someone who is counting down the years for every year you play, yet you
don’t cherish every possible opportunity! Are you so sure you can play
against my captain next season!”
Yuan Ze couldn’t help but curse.
Wei Xiao continued, “You wanted to fight against my captain three years
ago, right? What’s going on? It’s been three years; have you become more
and more of a coward?”
All his life, there had only been incidents of Yuan Ze flaming others. This
had been the first time he’d been rendered speechless by someone else.
Wei Xiao shot out another sentence. “I f*cking envy you. If I had an
opponent like Close, I’d wake up smiling every day!”
This sentence thoroughly woke Yuan Ze up.
The feeling that had been weighing down on his heart and hadn’t been able
to be cleared by countless cigarettes was smoothed out with this sentence.
Worry faded. Concern was superfluous.
What broke through was long lost passion.
Yeah.
Yuan Ze had wanted to win against Lu Feng three years ago.
Yuan Ze hadn’t been satisfied with the Little Close from three years ago.
Three years ago, he’d wanted to defeat this talented and arrogant stinky
brat.
Later on…
Yuan Ze breathed lightly, his fingertips itching slightly. “Envy me?”
Yuan Ze’s lips curved. “So you mean to say that, you think I can’t do it?”
He was Wei Xiao’s current opponent.
Wei Xiao replied loudly, “Yes, you can’t!”

Ch241.1 - It was like a bug!
Yuan Ze was so angry that his liver hurt. “Bring it.”
Wei Xiao: “?”
Yuan Ze’s fingertips didn’t itch anymore. He pressed down on his mouse
with great strength, “I’ll show you if big brother can do it or not.”
Yuan Ze sent Wei Xiao an invitation to a solo room.
Wei Xiao went in, and his first sentence was: “I have a boyfriend already.”
Yuan Ze was stunned, “?”
Wei Xiao: “If you keep harassing me, I’m going to go tell the captain!”
Yuan Ze: “……………………”
Who the hell was harassing you, ahhhhh!
Oh, it was that talk about whether or not he could do it.
But the little lunatic had clearly been the one who had started the topic!
This little bastard’s ability to put the blame on his victim was really at the
world champion level!
These two sentences were enough to thoroughly provoke Yuan Ze once

again. He didn’t think twice about locking in the death knight.
Wei Xiao thought about it for a while, then took the shadow thief.
The Old Dog Yuan who’d lost his head would definitely take the death
knight. Although he would get hammered to bits if he used the shadow
thief…
If he got hammered to bits, that was fine. How was he supposed to grow if
he didn’t get beat up?
Yuan Ze saw that he’d taken the shadow thief when they entered the loading
screen. His first sentence was: “Brat, you’re really not afraid.”
Wei Xiao warmed up his fingers. “Come on, let’s see exactly how good
Teacher Yuan’s death knight is when it comes to doing it.”
Yuan Ze’s sentence ‘See if I can’t f*ck you to death’ was all typed out, but
he didn’t dare send it.
This kind of crude language was used often amongst brothers, and Yuan Ze
had ‘f*cked’ Kim Sung-hyun to death a countless number of times, but
now…
He thought about how Wei Little Xiao was a man with a boyfriend.
Then, he thought about Lulu’s possessiveness.
Teacher Yuan, who sought to survive, calmed down. He deleted his words
and changed them to: “See if I can’t screw you to death.”
F*ck, that wasn’t right either!
After waiting a long time with no reply, Wei Xiao grew elated. “Is Teacher
Yuan afraid?”
Yuan Ze: “…………………………………………”
Don’t ask, if you ask, then his liver exploded from anger!
As the saying went, everything had its vanquisher. Old Dog Yuan had acted
like a dog for half his life, but he’d finally met his natural enemy and was
being dealt with cleanly.
Players went out with a full set of equipment in the new solo mode and just
had to focus on their skills when they met their opponent.
Wei Xiao was very interested, and he was very focused on the game. This
was a very rare opportunity.
If he could survive and stay alive under Scum Man Yuan’s death knight,
then no one in all of Glory would be able to kill his shadow thief.
Except for Close, but Close couldn’t bear to kill him.
Oh, except for when they were in bed where Wei Xiao Xiao was always
hopeful that he could bear to ‘kill him’ a bit.
Cough……
Stop!
Yuan Ze was also very serious. When faced with this familiar, yet strange
shadow thief, it was difficult for him not to play seriously.
When the shadow thief first went live three years ago, FTW had quickly
discovered that the upper limit for this talent was very high.
Talents with high upper limits were greatly valued in the professional arena.
The club would definitely develop and train this talent.
As a new jungler layer, Close naturally had to practice it.
He trained with it in ranked games, in training matches, and was even more
focused on it during solo.
Yuan Ze had always been very concerned about this little teammate and was
afraid that he had depression, so he often teased him. “How about having
big brother accompany you to solo?”
Close: “……”
Yuan Ze was direct and righteous. “I’m two years older than you, what’s
wrong with calling myself big brother!”
Close frowned and stared at the screen.
Yuan Ze called him names in his heart like ‘Little bastard who’s too
arrogant to place importance on anyone’, but his mouth said, “Come on,
come on, Big Brother Yuan will carry you.”
Yuan Ze had just seated himself when Close sent over an invitation to a solo
room.
That bit of emotional upset dissipated instantly. After he clicked on accept,

he continued complaining in his heart. “What an awkward little brat.”
And then… that little brat almost beat him up until his head exploded!
In a sense, Yuan Ze really didn’t like Close.
He was a genius.
A genius who worked harder than ordinary people and didn’t leave them
with any way to keep living!
Yuan Ze sucked in a breath. “These light arcs… is the upper limit so high?”
Eight light arcs? When other people’s light arcs stuck at six or seven…
Close finally replied to him. “It can be even higher.”
Yuan Ze raised his eyebrows. “Nine? That’s too exaggerated.”
Close invited him again. “I’ll give it a try.”
Yuan Ze: “………………”
What happened to Big Brother Yuan carrying him? This was him f*cking
using big brother as a sandbag!
Yuan Ze started playing seriously. He hadn’t yet reached the point where he
would be beaten by Little Lulu, who’d just started with the shadow thief
and hadn’t yet accumulated enough experience to become the great demon
king.
After getting even, Teacher Yuan was elated and felt that his blades hadn’t
dulled with age. He hadn’t yet gotten slapped to death by the waves that
came after him.
Close: “Again.”
Yuan Ze was very willing to abuse his little brother. “Bring it!”
They continued soloing and three hours passed before they knew it.
Yuan Ze stretched and was just about to say: Let’s go to dinner?
Close sent over yet another invitation.
Wasn’t he hungry!
Close wasn’t hungry, so Yuan Ze was even less hungry. How could Yuan Ze
lose to his younger brother?
Another three hours later…
Yuan Ze: “Hey…”
Close just looked at him. “Tired?”
That light and floating tone (in fact, he’d always been like that), that
arrogant appearance (which had also always remained the same), this
expression that looked down on a fellow brother which angered him to
death (this had also always been like that)… forget it, in any case, Yuan Ze
always felt that Close was provoking him!
Teacher Yuan didn’t need to write a draft for his boasts. “You may not know
but I once fought against the whole world on my own and soloed for seven
times seven, forty nine hours straight, got it!”
Close: “Oh.”
Yuan Ze slanted a glance at him. “Don’t believe me?”
Close: “I believe you.”
Yuan Ze: “……” Couldn’t you just f*cking be surprised for a moment?
Then, Teacher Yuan finally saw this youth, who had facial paralysis, loosen
his expression.
It wasn’t an expression of surprise, but he smiled slightly and finally looked

like a 17 year old youth. Close said, “That’s good.”
Close continued, “Forty nine hours should be enough.”
Yuan Ze: “???”
Forty nine hours was impossible. Old Dog Yuan was about to become an
Old Dead Dog twenty four hours later.
Kim Sung-hyun woke up after going to sleep and came over to check in on
them. “You guys are up so early.”
Yuan Ze had already lost half his life. “Morning…”
Like hell…
He didn’t even have the strength left to swear.
Kim Sung-hyun looked at their training time and was shocked. “You two
have been soloing until now?”
Yuan Ze wanted to vent more anger than he had the energy for. “And we’ve
been using the same talents.”
He wondered if he would end up feeling physiologically disgusted with the

death knight in the future. In the last one or two hours, he’d been playing
the death knight brainlessly, through pure mechanical operation. His hands
had been moving faster than his brain.
Kim Sung-hyun looked at Lu Feng over his cup of milk. “This combo…”
He hadn’t yet finished his words when he almost dropped his cup of milk to
the ground. Yuan Ze was equally shocked.
He stopped moving and forgot all of his operations. The death knight stood
where it was and looked at the light arcs that covered half the canyon.
The two of them spoke in unison. “Nine… arcs…?”
Close breathed out softly and relaxed the grip he’d had on his mouse for a
whole day and night. “Nine light arcs can really be done.”
Yuan Ze: “………………”
The look that these two big brothers had in their eyes when they looked at
this ‘newbie’ could only be described as ‘thrilled’!
They’d seen those who were inhuman; for example, everyone in the Team
of Gods were considered inhuman.
But it was really the first time that they, who were inhuman, had seen
someone be inhuman to this extent!
FTW naturally held a meeting and studied such an earth shaking event for a
long time. The data that the data analysts came up with was also very earth
shaking.
The damage from the light arcs would continue to double.

The eight light arcs dealt twice as much damage as seven light arcs, and the
nine light arcs dealt twice as much as the eight light arcs.
When it came to this amount of damage, the player could deal out huge
DPS even if they were one piece of fully completed gear short.
Of course, if the farm difference was too much, then there would be a
problem of breaking through the other party’s defense, but based on the
Team of Gods’ advantages, would they let Close have the lowest farm in the
arena?
Impossible!
As long as the team had advantages, then the shadow thief would be like a
nuclear bomb, brushing out light arcs and leaving behind mushroom clouds
everywhere!
Even if their opponents were only at the edges of it, even if five people
shared the damage amongst themselves, or even if they moved and
retreated, it wouldn’t work…
The damage dealt was too shocking, and the range was too wide…
It was like a bug!
Later on, the game developers did nerf the shadow thief. Unfortunately,
nerfing other people’s shadow thief had little impact on Close.
The difficulty of brushing out light arcs increased. It was like a dream for
ordinary people to brush out seven light arcs, and professional players had
to rely on luck to brush out eight, but Clos was still able to brush out nine.
Many people weren’t satisfied with this, but Yuan Ze was really f*cking
convinced.
Looking around the whole world, there were only a few people who had
Close’s level of talent.
Players who could barely compare with him in terms of talent would lose to
him when it came to effort.
How did that saying go? There was no need to be afraid of those who were
smarter than you, but there was reason to be afraid of those who were both
smarter and hard-working than you.
In that case, there was really no way around it.
So that was why Yuan Ze hated Close!
Especially after his solo win rate went from ten wins and eight losses to an
even split, then four wins and six losses. Yuan Ze hated Lulu even more!
That was three years ago. Memories from the past rose to the forefront of
his mind, as clear as if it had only been yesterday.
At the time, Yuan Ze’s words had been: “If i was the top-laner on the
opposite side, I would’ve pressed you down to death a long time ago!”
Close: “Oh.”
Yuan Ze sighed. “Unfortunately, the only person who can defeat you is your
teammate.”
Close: “Mm.”
F*ck, he’d gone on for a long time, yet it seemed like he’d been looked
down on again!
Later on, they had really separated and really weren’t teammates any
longer. They really became opponents, but he couldn’t find the same mood
from before.
He wanted to beat Close.
Wanted to win against that little brat.

He wanted to prove his dignity as a big brother.
But… he’d already lost.

Ch241.2 - Making every game into
part of Glory’s history was what a
real Team of Gods should do!
No one knew that Yuan Ze had secretly returned to S City, secretly returned
to the outside of the FTW base.
He didn’t go in and didn’t even get out of the car. He just watched it from a
distance.
He saw that the once warm villa had become cold, saw that the familiar
faces had become strange ones, and saw that the ‘home’ that he’d once
thought he would stay at for a long time had long become a fragmented
place.
At the time, Yuan Ze had felt that he couldn’t beat up Close again.
Because he was a deserter, while Close was guarding their FTW.
Something that everyone had thought was impossible, but Close had done
it.
They’d all given up.
Any excuses, any reasons, any helplessness were all inadequate.
He’d just given up.
Marshal had lost to Close.
So, how could he sign up for the singles?

Dazzling light arcs exploded in the canyon.
The familiar nine light arcs were still as dazzling as ever.
Yuan Ze took a deep breath, used his damage immunity equipment, and
retreated as much as he could, getting out of the attack range.
The shadow thief in front of him wasn’t Close.
But the shadow thief in front of him was also Close.
He’d trained up Gary to fight against Close in the singles competition.
Close also had Quiet, who could revive the shadow thief in the team
competition.
There was no need to look back on the past that couldn’t be changed.
But the opportunity that was now in front of his eyes absolutely couldn’t be
lost!
Yuan Ze, who’d been depressed for several days… or it should be said,
Yuan Ze who’d been feeling down for several years, was finally seeing the
dawn.
It was a light that tore through the thick fog, shining upon the sea of his
heart, and dying the deep blue into a bloody red!
The shadow thief landed. Yuan Ze’s brain was blank; there was only the
death knight who switched forms on the screen. Its three dogs charged
forward, followed with a heavy blade assault, magic buffs that strengthened
his basic attack, and a blade that hit the shadow thief, disrupting his retreat
and stabbing into his chest.
Health bars plummeted, and the blood special effects that splashed out dyed
the shadow thief’s dark lightweight armor red.
The death knight used his skills to reduce his cooldowns, switching forms
again. The light form death knight was like a big demon that had come out
of the demon world. He was slender, and moved at shocking speeds. The
heavy blade grew shorter and shorter, and as he approached the shadow
thief, the blade swept across his throat, killing him off with a single blow!
Marshal killed Quiet.
The death knight killed the shadow thief.
A death knight that hadn’t been seen for a long time.
A shadow thief that hadn’t been seen for a long time.
A duel of life and death that hadn’t been seen for a long time!
Yuan Ze only came back to his senses when he saw the fallen shadow thief.
He looked unconsciously at his hands that were still on his keyboard…
He hadn’t felt like this in a long time.
This kind of feeling that didn’t need forethought, didn’t need him to
anticipate the opponent, this kind of feeling where instinct was greater than
reason, where he had complete trust in himself.
Wei Xiao’s words popped up in the chat box. “Not bad, Old Shit.”
Yuan Ze’s mouth curved. It wasn’t a deliberate, false smile, but a carefree
one. It was as though the years and the accompanying pain had been
washed away, leaving only the initial pleasure from before. “Again!”
Wei Xiao: “Bring it!”
Old Bandit Yuan really had some skill. He was really worthy of being the
death knight who’d forced out nine light arcs!
Wei Xiao had another version of Yuan Ze’s segment of memories.

His nine light arcs had always been unstable, but as long as he soloed with
Lu Feng’s death knight, it would become very stable, with an almost 100%
success rate.
Wei Xiao couldn’t help being curious.
After asking about it several times, Wei Xiao learned…
Close had been the one to brush out nine light arcs, but Teacher Yuan had
contributed quite a lot.
Without equal opponents, where would these amazing stunts come from?
There were some shackles that couldn’t be broken through alone.
Partners and opponents were the elements that stimulated unlimited growth
in people.
Unknowingly, over an hour passed in this way. Bai Cai came into the room.
“What are you doing?”
Wei Xiao: “Playing against the old bandit.”
Brother Cai took a closer look. “Holy shit, the win rate between you two…”
Wei Xiao: “The old bandit is still quite fierce.”
One minute per game. They’d already fought over sixty times. Wei Xiao
had died forty eight times, while Yuan Ze hadn’t even died twenty times.
Although death knights had a natural advantage against the shadow thief, it
had to be said that Yuan Ze was really very strong.
After all, in the current solo mode, everyone came out with full gear and
there was no need to spend time on development.
However, if a shadow thief could brush out nine light arcs, they might not
necessarily even be to be held down by the death knight.
Brother Cai watched for a while. “There’s been significant improvement on
the level of your light arcs.”
Wei Xiao: “Mm.”
Brother Cai was still worrying. “Captain Yuan’s anti-restraint ability is

really strong.”
Wei Xiao: “It’s just that he doesn’t want to play it. If he does, he can brush
out nine light arcs, too.”
This wasn’t just random talk about Yuan Ze. It was a statement of facts.
Yuan Ze understood the shadow thief too well. His knowledge of the talent
was scalp numbing.
It was true that he simply didn’t want to play it. If he played it, then the nine
light arcs would be on hand whenever he wanted them.
How had he been able to train up Gary?
If he didn’t know how, then how could he train him up?
After watching for a while, Bai Cai was cowering a little. “Teacher Yuan’s
really terrifying.”
He really deserved to be the number one singles king in Glory. His

reputation was well-earned.
In the game, Wei Xiao fell again. “What did you think?”
Normally, L&P and FTW had a good relationship. The two teams interacted
often and got along peacefully, so they’d forgotten who it was on the other
side.
How could it not be terrifying?
Once the strongest top-laner, the man who’d gotten the FMVP and had led
his team to win the golden dragon trophy the year before last, how could he
be weak?
Not to mention…
Wei Xiao’s shadow thief stood up again in the canyon. “Not to mention,
he’s finally gotten serious.”
After another fight, Brother Cai interrupted again. “Can you fix your
problem of revitalizing your opponents before the game!”
As he’d been saying, why hadn’t he gone to find the captain in the middle
of the night and stayed here soloing with Yuan Ze instead?
It turned out that this was Wei Little Xiao’s fixed practice before the
game––helping his opponents!
Others might not know, but Brother Cai knew it all.
It had been exactly like that during the domestic competition!
Before playing with the top four, Wei Little Xiao had to fiercely heal up his
opponents. If he couldn’t get the other side to get into it, then he didn’t
seem to be able to play.
He could clearly win the championship in easy mode, yet he insisted on

turning it into hell mode. What was this little bastard thinking!
Wei Xiao’s expression was innocent, “Ah?”
Bai Cai: “If Captain Yuan isn’t serious, then our win rate is only thirty or
forty percent. After he’s been all cheered up… can we still win?!”
Wei Xiao disdained him. “It’s growing their ambitions before destroying
their prestige.”
Bai Cai was still in a poor mood. “You’re the one who is giving them those
ambitions!”
Wei Xiao glanced at the time and left Yuan Ze a reluctant message. “Old
Shit, I have to go.”
Yuan Ze: “?”
Wei Xiao: “My boyfriend is off work!”
Yuan Ze: “………………” Get lost!
After quitting the solo room, Wei Xiao got up and said, “If I don’t cheer
him up, then how can we win?”
Bai Cai couldn’t understand this, but Lu Feng would definitely have
understood if he was here.
If he wasn’t cheered up.
Then how could they win!
In the final analysis, there was only one solution to Lu Feng’s troubles and
Yuan Ze’s irritability.
And it was what Wei Xiao had told them––to just play their best and fight!
No matter who won or lost, regardless of the past, in this fight between
L&P and FTW, they just had to give full play to all their abilities, show off
their entire strength, and have a fight without any reservations!
This was a game that was being played in front of the whole world, and it
would be broadcast live across the globe.
As long as they did their best, then so what if they lost?
What they feared wasn’t failure but regret!
Regardless of whether it was L&P or FTW.
What they feared most wasn’t stopping at the top eight, but a cowardly exit!
The audience’s eyes were bright and clear.
The best game wouldn’t necessarily be in the finals.
And the finals didn’t guarantee those games would be the most outstanding.
Making every game into part of Glory’s history was what a real Team of
Gods should do!
Time passed by quickly. It seemed that they were already ushering in the
third game of the eight into four games in the blink of an eye.
Y1 and Pro had already successfully entered the top four.
FTW was undergoing special training behind closed doors. Let alone going
to watch the game at the scene; they didn’t even watch the live broadcasts.
Of course, the coaching team and special advisor Fu Li had gone over the
games many times.
L&P was their most important opponent at present, but Y1 and Pro couldn’t
be ignored.
The battle to enter the top four was very difficult, but everyone firmly
believed that FTW could advance to the semi-finals.
In that case, they had to do their homework on their next opponent!
There was one game for the top four held every day. When FTW set out to
the venue, Money remained at the base.
Moonlit looked at him.
Mo Hui covered his eyes. “I’m going back to sleep. Call me when it’s
over.”
Moonlit: “……” With just this level of potential, he should hurry back and
inherit his family business instead!
Mo Hui wasn’t the only one who didn’t dare to watch. Eurostar-star didn’t
dare to watch, either.
However, Eurostar-star was in a miserable position. He’d been brought

along by his own captain to act as a special guest commentator.
Eurostar looked pitifully at his captain, who was sitting in a special guest
seat. Although he didn’t make a sound, his eyes were filled with pleas of:
“Switch, switch, please, let’s switch!”
Fu Li was unmoved.
The special guest was different from the commentator seats.
The commentator booth followed the entire game, keeping an eye on the
battle situation in order to provide timely commentary.
The special guests area only needed to provide predictions prior to the
game, analysis during halftime, and a game review after the game.
In comparison, the special guest seats seemed far more comfortable, okay!
Unfortunately…
The competition committee appreciated Fu Li’s ability to review the game,

and they were more optimistic about Eurostar-star’s youthful face for the
commentator position.
So, one of them had a commentator seat, while the other went to the special
guest seating.
The camera swept over. The game was imminent, and Eurostar could only
acknowledge his fate.
FTW had to make a good showing!
He didn’t want to be Glory’s number one poisoned tongue!

Ch242.1 - I couldn’t deal DPS. How
could we win?
After getting to their seats, Little Ning rubbed his hands.
Wei Xiao slanted a look at him, “Nervous?”
Ning Zhehan: “A-a-a-a-a little.
Wei Xiao was amused. “What did you say about winning any game is
considered as having gained something?”
Little Ning: “I was young and arrogant. I’ve calmed down now.”
He could still snark. That kind of thing wasn’t a big deal.
Chen Feng smacked each of them once, telling these bratty children to settle
down a bit.
Being nervous was a given. How could they not feel the slightest bit
flustered?
It wasn’t like they were Little Lunatic Wei!
However, this tension was controllable, and it was even beneficial to their
play. It could mobilize adrenaline, help them concentrate, and keep them in
a highly-focused state. This was a good thing.
Along the way to this point, granny gray had also become a mid-laner king
who’d been tempered through thousands of trials and wouldn’t end up as
the weak link now!
Yue Wenle was alright. He’d always been slower to react, and everyone
understood that. They just had to prepare potato chips for him when leaving
the base, and he would chomp on them on the way over, in the backstage
lounge, and before going up onto the stage…
Brother Liu really lived up to his reputation as the FTW nanny and always
got the amount just right. If there was too much, then President Le wouldn’t
be able to finish them all and wouldn’t be able to bear parting with them,
but if there was too little, then President Le would feel it was a shame there
wasn’t enough. So, Brother Liu would set it up so that he would run out of
potato chips just as FTW’s battle song started playing. Like this, Yue Wenle
would be like a boxer who’d finished his rest time and was filled with
fighting spirit when he went up onto the stage!
Without mentioning anything else, he could maintain this state for at least
three matches, which was when halftime would kick in.
Brother Liu wanted to express that there would always be enough potato
chips, and President Le didn’t need to panic!
Chen Feng often suspected that this cub of his was transmuted from potato
chips. Otherwise, why would he be so fascinated with them?!
Brother Cai wasn’t nervous. Why was that?
Because FTW had already had a discussion about it before they left.
The topic of their discussion had naturally been the battle of freedom.
Chen Feng: “Are we using the soul warlock system?”
Brother Cai’s face turned very pale as soon as he heard this. He was so
nervous that he wished he could slide from his chair to under the table and
cover his head with an iron pot while he was at it.
Little Lunatic Wei was clearly the core of the soul warlock system, but the
white cabbage was the one who was cowering the most.

Brother Cai: QAQ!
His jungler king rescued him from this encirclement. “It’s not very
suitable.”
At this moment, Wei Little Xiao was like Bai Caicai’s reborn parent, his
life-saving benefactor, and he would repay him with his bod… ah, no,
Brother Cai was being presumptuous!
Chen Feng had been worried about this too. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have
phrased it as a question.
The L&P team was quite special, particularly for FTW. They were the team
that restrained FTW the most out of last year’s top four.
When it came to Pro’s marksman system, Lu Feng and Wei Xiao might be
able to beat out a bloody path if they went up together.
With EVE’s mid-lane core system, although Ning Zhehan would be under
great pressure, Wei Xiao was very good at reaching and cutting down c-
positions. If he bit at Xie He and didn’t let go, then it would be difficult to
determine who would win or lose.
As for Y1…
Well, they were hard to deal with, but their style was different from L&P.
If a comparison had to be made, then Y1 was a shield, and L&P and FTW
were both spears.
Shields could stop spears.
And spears could also pierce shields.
It all depended on whether the shield was stronger or if the spear was
sharper.
However, things got awkward when it was a double spear battle like L&P
and FTW. They both had strong junglers, they both had daddies in the top-
lane, and they were both overlords of the jungle as well as masters at
controlling the game’s rhythm…
When it came to a battle, then whoever sucked more would lose.
Of course, things weren’t so absolute. The game still relied on tactics.
But no matter how they changed their tactics, their top-jungler core systems
couldn’t be changed.
In fact, regardless of whether it was L&P or FTW, their mid-lane and

bottom support players weren’t weak. They were completely able to carry
the bulk of the weight in ordinary games, but when they came up against
another top-jungler team…
Forget it, who didn’t know what Gary and Quiet were like!
One was a North American wild dog, and the other was a Chinese lunatic.
When they started biting at people, it was enough to leave behind

psychological shadows!
VIVI, despite being a veteran, was also intimidated by Little Lunatic Wei,
okay?
So, both sides only played jungler cores, and they could only try and find
ways to suppress each other with their top-jungler systems.
These days, the FTW coaching team included Fu Li. The amount of hair
that he’d lost was enough to really make his fans cry.
The battle of freedom was very important.
Winning the first game would set things off for a great start!
Their mentality would take a hit if they lost.
Setting up their mentality was tactically very important!

It was unknown how L&P was doing, but FTW was cautious and careful.
They would absolutely never miss any opportunity.
Fu Li had also been in the conference room. He suggested, “It’s safer to

take a double thief line-up in the battle of freedom.”
Chen Feng’s eyebrows twisted together in a frown.
Wei Xiao agreed. “I vote for double thief.”
Brother Cai had tears in his eyes. He wanted to raise his hand, but was also
afraid that the coach would beat him up. He could only watch on eagerly
and wait for ‘guillotine’ to fall.
Fu Li had put deep thought into it before making this suggestion.
Chen Feng understood what he meant better than anyone else in the room.
Indeed, FTW’s soul warlock line-up had done well right from the start,
showing momentum and style. It even represented the confidence of the
China competition zone. Countless people expected them to take another
soul warlock line-up and do another wave of heaven-defying operations,
letting double stunts fly all over the canyon. However…
They weren’t up against IN, but L&P.
L&P was a steel blade and was definitely unafraid of hitting back.
The soul warlock line-up was essentially one where they fought everywhere
over the map, however L&P was equally eager to fight with their opponents
from beginning to end.
When it came to fighting, they weren’t afraid of any team in Glory.
In the global finals last year, Y1 had been able to win that last game due to
Yan Jiang’s precise, computer-like commands.
And what was the core tenet of Yan Jiang’s command?

––Avoid head-on conflict and slowly nibble away at L&P’s flanks.
That game had left people’s hearts hanging in fright, and watching it had
made their scalps feel numb.
L&P fans had been so angry that their liver and lungs were about to burst,
and they’d cursed Y1 for a full three months.
Y1’s fans had also been terrified. How f*cking good did they have to be at
fighting to force Yan Jiang to have to concentrate so much?
Therefore, it was very likely that L&P would destroy FTW’s soul warlock
system.
It wasn’t that FTW couldn’t fight. From the moment Wei Xiao joined the
team, FTW had already been destined to become a ‘lunatic’ team. If they
could have a fight, then they would never waste time with words. If there
was no fight to be had, then they would go find one!
If FTW wanted to win against L&P, they had to fight hard, and it would be
a competition to see who could fight better.
However, that didn’t mean that they could be reckless.
The soul warlock line-up’s weakness prior to reaching level six was too big.
Brother Cai could cope with an ordinary jungler, but he would simply
explode on the spot if he went up against Old G.
If their jungle zone was completely occupied prior to reaching level six,
then it would be too difficult for them to regain their rhythm after level six.
Especially when they were up against Gary…
It would be the equivalent of having Little Lunatic Wei go up against him in

solo with only half of his health.
The two of them were already evenly matched. How could they fight if he
sacrificed half his health before they even started?
Besides…
The soul warlock line-up was FTW’s killer trump card. It might not work
against L&P, but it may be effective against c-position cores like EVE and
Pro.
If they took it out now and let Yuan Ze and Old G beat it up until it
collapsed into pieces, would they be able to still play out the same effect of
the soul warlock against EVE and Pro even if they were lucky enough to
make it into the semi-finals?
The pros and cons were right in front of their eyes.
It was obvious how they should balance things out.
Using the soul warlock against L&P would gain them nothing except
pleasing the audience.
So… Chen Feng looked at Lu Feng. “Double thief.”
Lu Feng nodded.
The line-up for their battle of freedom was decided!
The double thief system was another one of FTW’s primary line-ups.
Although it didn’t have the same element of surprise as the soul warlock
and couldn’t completely unleash Little Lunatic Wei’s strength, FTW had
enough power to compete with L&P in the early, mid, and late stages!
Close vs Marshal.
Quiet vs Gary.
The global showdown was about to begin!
The selection of talents for the battle of freedom went by very quickly since
they had a plan. When the shadow thief and blood thief both appeared at the
same time, the audience still felt that it was a fluke. “Eh, Caicai can play the
blood thief?”
“The blood thief’s not bad. The other side’s Old G will definitely take the
shadow thief. The blood thief’s strong blood sucking ability can resist the
shadow thief’s light arcs…”
“That’s not right… the blood thief’s operations, um… It’s not that I’m
looking down on my vegetable, but using the blood thief to play a support
seems a bit exaggerated.”
“Oh my god, the holy priest!”
The audience woke up as soon as the holy priest showed up.
It wasn’t possible for Brother Cai to use the blood thief, it would never
happen in this life! He could only use the holy priest’s bubble tune and
other such skills!
The audience who had scrambled for tickets and stepped over thousands of
troops just to see the soul warlock line-up were all seriously disappointed!
What about the agreed upon double thousand layers of clouds!
What about the agreed upon double stepping on raindrops!
What about the agreed upon double light arcs!
Not only did the live audience at the scene want to kick up a fuss, but the
viewers in the live broadcast studio also started making trouble. “Laozi
waited for two hours, and you’re showing me this?!”
“Laozi turned down a date with my girlfriend, yet as a result, you’re using
double thief to mess with me?”
“Ahhhhh, I fought with my mother in order to get a cell phone, yet I’m
unable to see the legendary double light arcs!”
This issue was also being discussed in the commentator booth.
This wasn’t the first time that Eurostar-star had sat here. He performed well
and could answer and provide commentary without leaking anything by
accident. There was no hint of the cowardly baby at all.
The other two commentators today were Brother Mouth and A-Light.
Brother Mouth asked, “Has TPT played against FTW’s soul warlock line-
up?”
Eurostar smiled slightly. “Yep.”
Brother Mouth was curious. “How was it?”
Eurostar: “The grandmaster couldn’t kill me. Of course, I couldn’t deal

DPS either.”
This one sentence amused many people. The fans who’d originally been
clamoring to see the soul warlock calmed down as well.
These words were very interesting.
Wei Xiao wasn’t able to kill him even after the attachment, which was
enough to show how timid the cowardly baby was.
Cowering so much that he couldn’t deal damage, who else would do that
but him?
A-light asked, “Then, who won?”
Eurostar: “I couldn’t deal DPS. How could we win?”
His words caused another round of laughter.

Ch242.2 - The strongest top-jungler
combo!
This gag moment in the commentary could be considered a relief for the
audience who wouldn’t be able to see the soul warlock.
Everyone might be unhappy, but it wasn’t to the point where they’d get up
and leave.
What were you thinking? This was L&P against FTW!
This was the global showdown against the peak top-jungler combos!
Even if they simply did basic attacks with super soldiers, it would still be a
unique fight in Glory history!
Not to mention…
Even without the soul warlock, the battle of freedom would be explosive
enough.
Just look at the line-up from both sides.
FTW had the shadow thief in the top lane and blood thief for jungler.
Double thief had come out to play, preparing to sweep through the game!
L&P’s top-laner was the death knight, and they took the shadow thief for
their jungler. Double shadow went up on stage together, planning to fight
across the whole world!
Just from this… what more did they want!
Sit tight and watch; it would absolutely be wonderful.

L&P’s team chat.
Old G sighed. “The little lunatic really didn’t use the soul warlock.”
Yuan Ze: “It’s not like he’s a fool.”
Old G: “……” He always had this suspicion that the captain was implying
something, but he had no evidence.
VIVI smiled like a fox. “I feel like Quiet is going to mess with me.”
As L&P’s starter mid-laner, he’d taken the earth mage in this match to
balance out their line-up.
FTW had the same idea. Ning Zhehan was using the zither warlock, which
tended more towards support and functionality.
VIVI would say this because he knew that the zither warlock was unable to
beat the earth mage in the early stages. If Wei Xiao didn’t come to provide
support, then VIVI would beat up Ning Zhehan until he was left crying.
The middle lane was an important line for the jungle zone. If it wasn’t held,
then it could start a vicious cycle.
Wei Xiao had to help Ning Zhehan in order to play out an advantage in the
game.
Gary: “A man after my own heart.” It hadn’t been easy for him to learn an
idiom and he had to show it off.
VIVI: “?”
Gary explained: “It means that they’re falling into a trap!”
VIVI: “……” Okay then, he understood half of it.
Indeed, if Wei Xiao went to support Ning Zhehan, then VIVI’s earth mage
wouldn’t have any problems protecting himself. Wei Xiao could help Ning
Zhehan pressure the lane, but he wouldn’t be able to get a kill. On the
contrary, it would negatively impact Ning Zhehan’s development.
Gary wouldn’t go and provide support to VIVI. He would go to the top

lane; there was no doubt about it.
When the time came, they’d gank the great demon king to death.
Tsk, just thinking of this made Old G’s scalp go numb––it would feel great!
L&P’s line of thought was reasonable and justified. Wei Xiao really did
need to take care of Ning Zhehan more, but…
If a jungler king didn’t go and mess around in the other side’s jungle zone at
the start of the game, then he wouldn’t be a jungler king!
Wei Xiao used the kiss of the blood raven as soon as he went out.
“Captain~!”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Brother Cai went to the mid-lane following their original plan. Little Ning
was too slow at clearing the lane and needed his help. When it came to the
bottom lane, Yue Wenle shouldn’t end up being abused while clearing the
first round of lane soldiers.
Also, if the holy priest stayed in the mid-lane, then he could quickly provide
support to the top-jungler zone.
Wei Xiao was going into the other side’s jungle zone. He naturally had to
start with the top-jungler zone.
With other teams, he could take Brother Cai with him and go wild, but
when he was up against Old Bandit Yuan, he could only go to the top lane.
Other than the captain, no one else could help him.
Wei Xiao dared to go, and Old G dared to wait for him.
Yuan Ze went to the top lane first. He wasn’t anyone else, and would never
be afraid of Close.
He tested out the jungle zone vision and understood where he was going as
soon as he looked.
Yuan Ze: “Red buff bushes, be careful.”
Gary: “Got it!”
His voice had just fallen when a shadow flew over. It was the blood raven
thief’s control skill: Kiss of the Blood Raven!
Whoever it touched would be dazed for 0.5 seconds. Although the control
duration wasn’t long, if there was a shadow thief with the shadow attack
skill beside him, Gary would be sent away.
Fortunately, Gary had been prepared a long time ago and used shadow
attack to mark the red buff. Using the movement provided by his general
attack, he pulled away slightly.
Wei Xiao: “Tsk, he’s so slippery.”
There were the expected bursts of exclamation in the scrolling comments.

“It really is God G, he even avoided that!”
“How many people have been locked away by Little Lunatic Wei’s blood
raven kiss? Gary’s worthy of being the world’s top jungler king.”
“Without mentioning his operations, even his consciousness is great. It’s as

if he had vision.”
“Speaking of which, L&P’s crazy. They really didn’t put vision in the red
buff bushes.”
“They probably didn’t want to waste it and guessed early on that Wei Xiao
would pass by…”
This was what the power of predicting one’s opponents was.

Wei Xiao had been constantly paying attention to the mini map.
Gary could predict him, and he could also predict Old Bandit Yuan.
There was no doubt that the death knight would slide in from the rear; he
had to be on guard.
At almost the same time, the death knight’s heavy blade swept across,
aiming at the position where the blood raven thief was.
Wei Xiao didn’t use a movement skill, but he had a speed bonus. He also
avoided the death knight’s attack with almost no room to spare!
This first, brief scuffle didn’t benefit anyone.
Wei Xiao: “Withdraw?”
Pestering them again would be a waste of time. Not to mention that the
death knight was the daddy for all three thieves present in the early stages;
pressing hard was meaningless.
Lu Feng made a sound of agreement. “Go.”
Wei Xiao had no movement skills and withdrew to the middle lane without
looking back. Brother Cai came to pick him up, afraid that Yuan Ze and Old
G would try to prevent him from leaving.
Lu Feng went in a different direction from him. Instead of jumping down

from the dragon pit, he hid all trace of himself before concealing himself in
the second bush near the top lane.
The audience saw it with god’s perspective and grew excited. “Holy shit, he
lives up to being my great demon king!”
“Is he going to mess with Scum Man Yuan?”
“Screw him! Screw him! Screw him to death!”

“Exciting, exciting! When old teammates meet, they should mutually stab
each other.”
They watched as the shadow thief slunk into the bushes. He’d obviously
judged the death knight’s position based on the direction of his skills and
used the movement skill to stack marks on the jungle creep in order to
defeat the death knight without another word.
The director was very sneaky. He provided a small frame that showed a
close-up of Yuan Ze––
He was staring at the screen, and a trace of suppression flashed in his eyes,
followed by slightly raised thin lips and a series of quick operations.
They really started fighting!
A level one death knight and a level one shadow thief!
The heavy blade assault, the shadow blade backstab.
It was at most three seconds!
The shadow thief had the advantage of flexibility. Even if its DPS was
lower than the death knight’s, as long as he could avoid the death knight’s
heavy blade, he could reduce the damage taken to a minimum. Additionally,
his backstab was continuous; stacking up small critical hits would be
enough to hurt even the death knight who had a high starting defense.
Commentator Brother Mouth had already started praising without paying

any heed to politeness. “It’s a classic shadow thief against death knight
routine! No, this is a tactic that the shadow thief uses against all kinds of
talents who are strong in the early stages!”
He chattered on for a while. Eurostar-star smiled from the side even as his
inner thoughts were full of snark. “Everyone can understand it, but who can
f*cking do it?!”
When it came to this kind of micro-operation, even the slightest mistake

could be the difference between heaven and earth, not to mention when one
was up against Yuan Ze. An ordinary shadow thief would’ve died long ago,
without any need to talk about exchanging blood!
Yuan Ze was really familiar with Lu Feng. He’d been caught off guard by
his rush into the bushes, but he soon accurately judged the origin of the
shadow thief’s shadow attack. The heavy blade’s range wasn’t something
that the shadow thief could avoid, and even if he did, then it meant he could
no longer hurt the death knight.
Lu Feng stopped while things were still good for him. He made use of his
lane soldiers to pull away and went back to his lane.
From the top jungle zone back to the top lane, the shadow thief had never
taken any regular steps. Even so, this path was extremely smooth and had
maximized his farm. Other than Close, who else could do such a thing as
smoothly as floating clouds and flowing water?
The audience felt satisfied just from watching it, and the directors often
panned the camera to the top lane so that everyone could see the top lane
daddies’ Imperial PK!
FTW’s invasion into the opposite side’s jungle hadn’t been a failure. They
tested things out and interfered, while holding onto their own jungle zone.
After returning to his blue jungle zone, Wei Xiao started up his rapid jungle
clearing mode.
Gary’s shadow thief and Wei Xiao’s blood thief were both high DPS
thieves. They cleared their jungles at amazing speeds.
The director split the display, showing that both sides’ rhythm was similar.
Obviously, the skills they used weren’t the same, and their damage ratio
was different, yet they still managed to brush out a similar rhythm.
Commentator Brother Mouth pointed out accurately. “The gap between

them is less than a second!”
This kind of speed, this race against time. What they were fighting for was
the power to gank first!
Everyone understood this, and they all watched on wondering which lane
the fighting would break out in first. They were even more curious about
whether or not the two sides would choose to provide support in the same
lane.
The team chat channel wasn’t idle as they efficiently cleared out their
jungles.
Brother Cai: “Why do I feel that it’s safer to go to the mid-lane?”
Wei Xiao: “Go to the top lane.”
Brother Cai: “Can Little Ning hold on? Once you show up at the top lane, V
will definitely hammer him until he explodes.”
Ning Zhehan was working hard to clear his lane. “I feel that I can do it!”
Wei Xiao: “Did you hear that? Brother Ning can really do it.”
Are you f*cking unable to talk without adding some color!”
L&P had never been afraid of getting predicted by others. They were
practically broadcasting this statement to the whole world: “In the first
wave, Old G will definitely go to the top lane.”
They weren’t afraid of telling you and almost wished they could shout it out
using a loudspeaker.
Come on, come to the top lane.
If you don’t come, then we’ll kill your top laner; if you do come, then we’ll
kill you both.
Overall, they never tried to hide. Their actions were simple and rough,
aimed at just forcing you to fight!
Wei Xiao understood them well, and he really trusted his captain, but…
He wanted to go answer the call to fight!
He wanted to dampen L&P’s arrogance right from the start.
Teams from all around the world are afraid of you, but we aren’t afraid!
Was double shadow really badass?
Double thief was even stronger!
Wei Xiao wasn’t afraid of Gary, and Close wasn’t afraid of Yuan Ze.
It was time for the title of the strongest top-jungler combo to change!
Ch243.1 - He had a teammate who
he could trust with his life!
Gary arrived at the top lane one step ahead of Wei Xiao. Invisible in the
grass, his position was perfect.
Although Commentator Brother Mouth was a Close fan who liked to praise
him, he had to praise Gary this time around. “This positioning is very on
point. He can see the enemy providing support immediately and block the
other party’s way. Once the death knight manages to latch onto the shadow
thief, Close won’t be able to escape!”
Would Close be surrounded and pincered to death from the front and back?
What were they thinking?!
Were the training matches they played for nothing? Was FTW’s coaching
team there for nothing? Was the information that Captain Fu had sorted
through personally all in vain?
Or did they think that Close’s brain wasn’t good enough to remember those
routines that he’d figured out clearly a long time ago?
None of the above.
In the end… Yuan Ze had only just switched forms and hadn’t yet swept out
his blade when the shadow thief had already started his assault, using a
shadow attack to land a mark and retreat to the furthest possible distance.
His shadow attack combo didn’t break, and what was even more shocking
was that he had avoided both Yuan Ze’s attack and Gary’s mark!
L&P’s team chat.

Gary: “Sure enough, badass.”
They’d known early on that they may not be able to hold him, but they
hadn’t expected him to be this slippery.
It was fortunate that the one using the death knight was Yuan Ze, and the
one with the shadow thief was Gary. If it was anyone else, then they would
have ended up either dead or injured.
Similarly, it was a good thing that the Close was the shadow thief or else
Gary would’ve taken First Blood a long time ago!
This round wasn’t like the jungle zone invasion. Gary wasn’t about to leave
until he’d obtained some results, and not only did he not leave, VIVI had
also rushed over from the mid-lane.
At this time, Wei Xiao had just arrived at the dragon pit and was halfway to
the top lane. Ning Zhehan gave him a signal. “President V went up!”
Wei Xiao had already seen his direction from the minimap. “Mm.”
Ning Zhehan followed VIVI closely, not willing to let L&P have a three
against two fight.
At this moment, Wei Xiao was faced with a choice.
Would he continue supporting the top lane, or would he turn around to catch
VIVI with Ning Zhehan?
The audience, who had the god’s perspective, noticed this problem quickly.
The commentators had already tossed this question over to Eurostar-star to
deal with.
Although Eurostar wasn’t as sharp as his own captain, as the core of TPT
and the Godly Calculator’s darling, his vision was no joke still.
“Considering the overall situation, it’s better if he supports Ning Zhehan
and ganks VIVI. The zither warlock is weaker than the earth mage in the
early stages, and although Ning Zhehan is stable, his defense tower has
already lost one sixth of its health. If they continue to let it go like this, the
zither warlock’s development phase will be extended, which would be a
poor outcome for the overall battle situation.”
He paused, then continued: “And VIVI has always been a cunning player.
It’s very difficult to gank him deliberately; this is a rare opportunity.”
This was a very comprehensive comment. He gave a full range of advice

that took into consideration the situation, talents, and the players’
temperaments.
So, how would Wei Xiao choose?
The audience just wanted to watch the excitement. “Go to the top lane!!
Hurry up and help Close kill those two dog men!”
“Little Ning, drag down VIVI so that Quiet and Close can have a 2v2
against Yuan Ze and Gary!”
“Take down the top lane! I want to see FTW take down all the towers in the
top lane today!”
Wei Xiao paused for about 0.5 seconds, then took action!
At first, the director had given the audience a shot of the top lane. The first
thing they saw was Close rushing forward half a step. It seemed like he was
going to fight!
Close had gone up. Was it because Quiet had decided to support the top
lane?
That was what the audience thought, as well as the three players from L&P.
Gary: “Quiet’s coming up!”
Close’s actions were tantamount to telling them that there was someone
behind him.
Yuan Ze didn’t make a sound. He stared at the minimap and watched Ning
Zhehan’s positioning.
VIVI: “I’ll get rid of Ning Zhehan.”
That was the appropriate course of action. If VIVI was able to reach the top
lane first, then the two jungler kings from FTW would be done for on the
top lane today.
“That’s not right!” Yuan Ze, who’d been keeping an eye on the area, noticed
that something was off. “Quiet wouldn’t take so long… F*ck!”
Sure enough, even before he finished speaking, the kiss of the blood raven
landed on VIVI’s head, accurately controlling him. It was followed by a
combo from the blood thief. By the time VIVI could move, the zither
warlock’s skills had also been tossed over. Chords hit his body, providing
both strong control and DPS.
The earth mage’s name might sound similar to that of the earth shaman, but
the two of them were very different talents.
One’s health was as thin as paper, while the other was tough and thick.
What they had in common was that they both had strong control skills.
However, the problem was that an earth mage who had been controlled first
could only be done for.
He couldn’t even activate a flash skill. Of course, using it wouldn’t make

much sense since the blood thief would kill him anyway.
In this canyon, life and death were separated by only this short second.
First Blood!
FTW.Quiet killed L&P.VIVI!
Quiet happily picked up First Blood. FTW was off to a good start!
Cheers rang endlessly from the audience, even as a bloody battle broke out
on the top lane.
When the announcement that Close had been killed popped up, the live
broadcast audience and the live audience at the scene both felt a sense of
incredulity.
The great demon king had been killed…
Five minutes into the start of the game, Close had been killed…
Looking at the games across the whole competition zone, as long as Close
participated, his death count had always been very low. Let alone when it
was only five minutes into the game.
Trading VIVI for Close?
Had FTW really gotten the advantage in this wave?
Countless people began to question this, and their hearts even started to feel
cold.
When a player was so iconic, his death wouldn’t be as simple as just losing
experience and gold coins. It would result in a sharp drop in momentum!
The most important thing in a game were these intangible feelings.
Momentum, confidence, state.
Once they sustained damage, any good team could scatter like grains of
loose sand.
This…
Not only the audience’s expressions, but even in the commentator booth,
Brother Mouth’s expression changed slightly, hinting at concern.
However, all this gloom soon dissipated, and the haze disappeared…
Sunlight covered the canyon and lit things up for everyone!

The blood thief used two feather transforms and in the blink of an eye, he
arrived at the top lane from the dragon pit. Immediately after that, black
feathers covered the sky, the raven landed, and the kiss of the blood raven
wrapped around the death knight.
When Gary landed, he used shadow attack to leave a mark on the blood
thief. Wei Xiao didn’t even try to avoid it and took the mark before instantly
opening up his ultimate move.
With blood as an oath, and dark feathers as servants.
The deep scarlet special effects made it seem like the entire top lane defense
tower was bathed in a rain of blood.
He took the damage from the defense tower and made use of his shocking
blood sucking ability. Wei Xiao’s health bar suddenly fell down to a
seriously injured state, then soared back up to half health like a roller
coaster, but he didn’t stop at all. His combo was overwhelming, his damage
increasing wildly with the amount of health he sucked in.
The death knight and shadow thief who’d used up all their skills in order to
kill Close could only wait to die!
FTW.Quiet killed L&P.Marshal!
FTW.Quiet killed L&P.Gary!
FTW.Quiet double kill!
Heated applause broke out in the venue that had fallen silent when the great
demon king fell to the ground!
This was a godly start to the match featuring a godly Quiet who’d gone
beneath the tower to get a double kill like a dream, killing the strongest top-
jungler combo in the world!
The little lunatic had avenged the great demon king!

This scene shocked many people.
Whether it was the live commentators and audience, the fans and haters in
the lie broadcasting room, the melon seed eating gossipers on the internet,
or even L&P’s hardcore fans back in North America,they were all shocked.
He became famous with one fight.
FTW.Quiet gained worldwide fame with this one fight!
No matter who it was, as long as they’d seen the scene just now, they would
never forget this blood raven thief, and they would never forget this jungler
player. They wouldn’t forget his decisiveness at pouncing on his opponents,
and his ferocious killing techniques.
Regardless of his own life or death, the two of them had to die!
Forcibly bypassing the tower just to send the two of them back to the
crystal!
In the backstage guest seats, Fu Li’s lips curved.
Although there was no camera present at the moment, they were also
discussing the situation.
The retired player who’d been invited as a guest said, “The new generation
is amazing!”
Fu Li hit the nail on the head. “Close is amazing.”
Everyone noticed the blood thief, and everyone saw that dazzling ray of
light. Everyone saw the brilliant sun that illuminated the haze.
But there were others who saw the fallen shadow thief, the shadow thief
who’d created enough opportunity for the blood thief. They noticed the vast
and deep sky behind the scorching sun.
In the first wave of group fights between FTW and L&P, Quiet had traded
one kill for three, and Quiet, who had taken three kills, was now far ahead
of everyone else!
This was the result.
But without the initial setup, how could there be such results?
Taking advantage of this time when the game was proceeding steadily, the
director opened up a small frame and quickly played back the group fight
just now.
Close had been the first to make a move. He attracted Yuan Ze and Gary’s
attacks and created the illusion that Quiet was about to go to the top lane.
After VIVI relaxed his vigilance, Quiet’s kiss of the blood raven controlled
him, and Ning Zhehan took advantage of his long range to continue the
control, allowing the two of them to kill VIVI almost instantly.
In the top lane, Yuan Ze and Gary certainly wouldn’t give up until the very
end. This move of Close’s had not only created opportunities for Quiet, but
had also put himself in danger.
Based on the replay, based on Close’s strength, there was at least a 50%
chance that he could retreat back under the tower and protect his own life.
However, Close hadn’t retreated!
He knew that at such a close distance, Yuan Ze wouldn’t give him the
chance to brush out light arcs, but he still insisted on starting them up. It
wasn’t for the sake of killing two people on his own, but to cheat the other
side out of all their skills!
The death knight switched between the two forms, perfectly interrupting his
marks. On the other hand, Gary had his captain to help him pave the way,
and his own light arcs started up quickly. He brushed out eight light arcs,
causing an overflow of damage that was enough to kill Close!
The great demon king fell to the ground. Yuan Ze and Gary had only just
taken a breath of relief when the blood raven thief rushed over.
At the time, Yuan Ze had immediately yelled, “Withdraw!”

There was no way to fight. The blood raven thief hadn’t used its ultimate
move just now. If he dove in, he would easily be able to kill the two of
them.
Unfortunately, Gary was still up in the air. By the time he landed, the blood
raven thief was already nearby.
And then… Quiet took a double kill!
During this series of events, it looked as though Quiet had done an excellent
play, but in fact, it was Close who’d created this opportunity.
The old fans who understood this scene all burst out into tears.
How many years had it been?
How long had it been?
They were always looking forward to seeing the great demon king playing
one against nine and winning the game, but they’d already forgotten that
Close also needed teammates.
It wasn’t that Close couldn’t create the right conditions for his teammates,
but that others couldn’t catch onto the opportunities he created!
Now, there was this god-like tacit understanding, this cooperation that
didn’t need words!
Close just needed to let himself go and do it, and it was fine even if he was
killed, because…
There was someone behind him.
He had a teammate who he could trust with his life!

Ch243.2 - What was the name of
this FTW mid-laner?
Trading one death for three, FTW had won themselves a big advantage!
Old G sucked in a breath. “Quiet can really do it.”
After that, he added another sentence. “Close and Quiet together are really
strong.”
Yuan Ze stared at the dark screen, his gaze both focused and far away. “The
younger generation will surpass the older.”
Regardless of whether it was Quiet or Close, both were of the ‘younger

generation’ to him.
Now, these two younger brothers were going to throw him, the elder
brother, onto the ground and smear him around.
Could he stand it?
Of course he wasn’t going to stand for it!
Yuan Ze spoke with focus. “Old G.”
There was no need to say more. The tacit understanding they had was also
something that had been bathed in blood and thorns.
Gary: “Got it!”
L&P had a famous ‘rogue’ style play.

Why was it called rogue? It wasn’t because they broke the law nor was it
because they were disgusting, but rather, it was because they were too
unreasonable.
They relied on the advantage of their top-jungler combo to brazenly bully

others.
Gary supported the top lane like crazy. With the double dark talents on the
same stage, any top-laner on the other side would grow bald at the sight.
There was no way to stand up to it at all.
It would be over as soon as they let their defense tower go in order to

protect their own lives.
It would free up Yuan Ze, and then L&P’s top-jungler combo could roam
around, beating up the mid and bottom lanes until they collapsed.
Sacrificing one’s life to defend the defense tower was also meaningless.
Losing the tower after one’s death was only a matter of time.
Or, if the other side’s jungler also started providing support to the top lane,
they would still fall into L&P’s trap.
When it came to two against two, Yuan Ze and Gary weren’t afraid of
anyone; the two of them were able to hold steady even if it was a three
against two fight, and they could still create enough opportunities for their
teammates.
President V, Mo, and President A weren’t vegetarians who were easy prey.
They would still be able to clear the towers in the mid and bottom lanes!
So, everyone knew how L&P played, but they couldn’t find a solution to it.
When faced with absolute strength, all sorts of recklessness or restraint was
just fancy nothings.
Yuan Ze and Gary were just that much of a domineering ‘rogue’ duo!
The only thing that was able to lock them down had been last year’s Y1.
Of course, Y1’s top-jungler combo wasn’t all for show, either. They were
fierce players who were really able to go up against them.
Now, L&P had started messing with FTW in the same way.
The audience felt stifled in their hearts as soon as they saw this. “Ahhhh,
can’t you change methods? L&P, change your team name. What do you
mean love and peace? You guys are tyrants and wild dogs!”
FTW, who had originally had an advantage, gradually had their advantage
snatched away under Yuan Ze and Gary’s powerful suppression.
Ordinary fans only saw Yuan Ze and Old G’s strength, and only noticed
them biting at the top lane without letting go. But experts could see the
situation more clearly.
For example, Fu Li. He had studied L&P’s routines for many days and
nights.
It seemed to be Yuan Ze and Old G’s angry suppression, but in fact, it was
actually an amazing cooperation between the whole team.
Mid-laner VIVI, support Mo, bottom laner AA. They were all top players in
the league, and all of them were fierce characters who could resist
suppression in their lanes.
VIVI was famous for having a doll-like face and was black on the inside.
He was always smiling like a fox and looked harmless, but he could enrage
the other side when he was in the canyon.
You wanted to gank him?
You would end up empty handed nine times out of ten!
Even if Gary didn’t hit up the mid-lane a single time, nothing would happen
at his mid-lane tower. Who would dare to disrespect this kind of strength!
Mo and AA were even more like a godly pair. Not to mention meeting with
an ordinary bottom lane team, even if they went up against Kim Sung-hyun
and Li Heran, they would still be able to hold on until Yuan Ze finished
beating up the top lane.
As long as the top lane exploded, then L&P’s rhythm would take off
instantly. They would kill anyone in their way, no matter if they were gods
or buddhas!
Before the game, everyone in L&P was already full of confidence. They
didn’t think that they would lose, and they were only afraid that they would
get kicked out after beating their landlords into collapse.
Thinking this way was very normal. After all, Close and Wei Xiao were still
only two people no matter how strong they were.
Ning Zhehan, Bai Cai, and Yuan Ze were all new recruits. When Close and
Wei Xiao were suppressed by Yuan Ze and Gary, then VIVI and the others
could beat the three little ones from FTW into tears.
There were no obvious weaknesses in a strong team. The five players in

L&P were all among the best, and as long as the top-jungler combos
restrained each other, they were stable in a three against three situation.
This was also the source of L&P’s confidence.
And the match did develop this way as the game went on.
The fighting was completely crazy in the top lane. Gary let go of his entire
bottom jungle zone and only ate from the top jungle zone. Basically, he
only cleared out the top jungle zone before going to the bushes in the top
lane to try and trap Close.
If Lu Feng’s understanding towards him had been even slightly less

thorough or his positioning had been even just a tiny bit closer, then he
would have already fallen at least three or four times.
However, even if he didn’t die, Close had been completely restrained.
Wei Xiao let go of his own bottom jungle zone after clearing it out once.
“Old Yue, it’s yours.”
If he didn’t make a trade-off, then even the great demon king wouldn’t be
able to hold on!
Wei Xiao also began to provide support to the top lane like crazy. At first,
the two sides were still testing each other out, but later on, they both refused
to let things go.
The shadow thief and blood thief both had the advantage of being strong
DPS dealers. They were extremely flexible talents with sufficient self-
protection ability. But their disadvantages were also obvious, which was
that they didn’t have enough control skills to forcibly keep someone in
place.
The advantage of pairing a death knight with a shadow thief was that the
death knight could resist damage, fight, and provide control. These skills
were very comprehensive and had a natural suppression against thieves. Of
course, there were some weaknesses involved; a death knight that went for
the control route would sacrifice some flexibility, meaning that they were
more likely to get caught by the two slippery thieves on the other side.
Going for flexibility would reduce the death knight’s advantage, so finding
balance was very difficult.
There was also the weakness of players themselves.
Close could brush out nine light arcs at will, but Gary could only sustain
eight light arcs.
In a 2v2, there was no difference in damage between eight or nine light

arcs. They both dealt excess damage.
What required attention was the difference in attack range. Nine light arcs
had a much wider range than eight light arcs. If it wasn’t interrupted, then
the two of them would have to hold onto their skills and retreat.
Once…
And again…
And yet again…
The top lane had wonderful plays, and everyone was immersed in watching,
but at the same time, they became even more worried about the outcome of
the game.
Could FTW win!
Could Close and Quiet, who had been completely restrained, split their
attention to help their teammates?
It could be seen that Close and Quiet really wanted to kill the two on the
other side, but Yuan Ze and Gary weren’t in a hurry.
They couldn’t kill Lu Feng and Wei Xiao, but as long as they dragged the
game on, it would be to L&P’s benefit.
They couldn’t let things drag on like this.
Wei Xiao finished clearing the stone man that had just appeared in the top
lane. “Captain…”
Close looked at the overall situation, his vision stopping at the mid-lane for
a long time. Then, he said, “Come.”
Wei Xiao sucked in a breath. “Okay!”
They’d probed tentatively at the other side so many times, and now, they
were finally going to engage in a life or death struggle!
There were no positioning errors, no ambush or ganking planned, or any

surround and kill tactics. It was a head-on collision featuring real fighting as
they showed off their operations!
It was difficult for the double thieves to force people to stay, but Old Bandit
Yuan would definitely be unable to resist the temptation.
As for how they would get out of danger…
To hell with getting away, they just had to fight and be done with it!
Wei Xiao took advantage of his high blood sucking ability and used his
ultimate move to resist damage. At the same time, he aimed his kiss of the
blood raven at the shadow thief.
This was the only control skill that he and Close had. If it landed, then there
was hope for them, and if it didn’t, then things would be very difficult.
It landed!
Gary was frozen for 0.5 seconds. This was enough time for them to play!
Wei Xiao: “I’m going first!”
In fact, he didn’t have to say it and Close would still understand what he
meant, but he wanted to say it. He wanted to tell Close––
You can die for me, and I can also take on everything for you.
Yuan Ze didn’t have any intention of taking it easy on them at all. He

attacked the blood thief with his blade, letting him suck as much blood as
he wanted, since it wouldn’t be enough to counter one attack from his death
knight.
A strengthened basic attack with crit damage flew out, causing a shocking
3800 points of damage.
This was really damned insta-kill like. It had to be known that the blood
thief only had 5800 health!
One attack took down over half of his health. There wasn’t even enough
time to suck blood and recover health.
There was little hope that Wei Xiao would be able to survive, but he had
created enough of an opportunity by taking the lead to bear the brunt of this
attack. He was sent flying, but it gave Close enough time to stack up his
combo and move.
The moment the blood thief fell to the ground, nine light arcs burst out in
the canyon.
Yuan Ze and Gary, who were caught within. “F*ck!”
This was absolutely unavoidable. Even if the two of them shared the
damage between them, it was enough to send them home.
What could they do?
Gary and Yuan Ze were also people whose hearts had a connection.
Neither of them retreated. Instead, they both rushed towards the shadow
thief who was still in mid air.
There was no way for Gary to stack up light arcs. He could only use the
skills he had to stack up a wave of maximum damage. Yuan Ze was still in
his heavy form, and his attack had been raised up infinitely. Even if he
didn’t land a critical hit, his basic attack would deal nearly 2000 damage. It
was sufficiently overbearing.
This scene surprised everyone.
The light arcs spread out all over the world, while the strongest top-jungler
pair marched forward bravely. Their health bars plummeted quickly as they
desperately tried to land a fatal blow on Close.
There was finally a result for the 2v2 on the top lane.
Close and Marshal both got a double kill at the same time!
The four of them were all killed!
This moment really made people’s blood boil, and it also made people want
to laugh.
Four very strong, very aggressive people, um…
It could be said that the two toughest top-jungler teams in Glory had played
out a double defeat.
You kill me, and I kill you. In the end, everyone perished together!
What was even more suffocating was that they’d even cleared out the
soldier lane… the bustling top lane grew very lonely for a second.
The black feathers that fell slowly back to the ground were like dead leaves
falling in autumn. It was very picturesque.
Was it an even tie?
Was it a draw in the fight between the strongest top-jungler combos?
Then, what about L&P and FTW?
To everyone’s surprise, even the people abroad and watching online were
surprised by the next system announcement––
FTW.Silvery killed L&P.VIVI.
They’d originally thought that after the top-jungler combos all died, FTW
would be beaten to death. Unexpectedly, the zither warlock in the mid-lane
had killed the earth mage on his own!
What had happened?
How could the famously slippery President V end up being killed by FTW’s
newcomer king?
What was the name of this FTW mid-laner?
Silvery.
That big child with granny gray hair?

Ch244.1 - Even a 50 percent chance
shouldn’t be given up!
Let alone other people, even Ning Zhehan himself was surprised. His eyes
were incredulous. “I killed President V?”
“Badass, Little Ning!” Wei Xiao cheered for him from his spot where he
was lying on the ground.
Granny gray exclaimed in shock, “I killed President V!”
Sigh, it seemed that the MVP of Glory’s Mic Explosion King would be
Little Ning this time around. Wei Little Xiao had finally stepped down,
allowing Little Ning to make a debut!
Little Ning couldn’t be blamed for being so surprised.
FTW was very familiar with VIVI. The two teams had an unclear, messy,
and complicated relationship, which resulted in them arranging countless
training matches together. They’d faced off against each other too many
times, and each position knew their counterpart very well.
In previous training competitions, President V had always been able to

casually suppress Little Ning until he was left in tears. It was often a
situation where the mid-lane collapsed and FTW was unable to turn the
tables during the training matches.
During the current official game, Ning Zhehan had said that any game they
played was a game earned. He mostly felt that way in his heart, but they’d
already entered the top eight and had gotten the domestic championship. It
was impossible for him to have no ambitions at all, and there was always a
tiny part of his heart that shouted, “Win against VIVI, win against L&P, and
charge into the global top four!”
However, Ning Zhehan became clear headed again as soon as he went to

look at previous training matches.
He couldn’t win… couldn’t win in all kinds of ways.
Skills were the easiest to make up for, but consciousness was something
that was too mysterious.
When entering the canyon, one had to integrate into the canyon. Every
second, every moment, and every stage held unlimited possibilities.
Routines could be filled in ahead of time, but when faced with the ever-
changing game situation, hard strength was needed for accurate on the spot
responses.
This was obviously what Ning Zhehan lacked.
It was difficult to pinpoint how to make up for it, because it was something
that had to be built up over countless competitions.
After going through game replays over and over again, Little Ning had
grown more and more frustrated. Fu Li, who was practically living at FTW
at the time, caught sight of it by accident. “What’s the matter?”
Ning Zhehan was a little afraid of Fu Li. Firstly, this man had been born
with an appearance that kept people at a distance. Secondly, it was a
learning scum’s natural fear of a study god. Little Ning had been disdained
as being too noob at learning by even the last in his class, and he cowered
when he was faced with the top student from Nanjing University. “No-
nothing…”
Fu Li glanced at the screen. “Worried about VIVI?”
Little Ning: “Yeah…”
Fu Li pulled out an e-sports chair and sat down. “Play it back again.”
Ning Zhehan: “Oh, okay!”
There was a Godly Calculator beside him, leaving Little Ning a bit absent-
minded as he watched the replay.
On the other hand, Fu Li was very focused. He kept watching the mid-lane,
and when he reached a certain spot, he pressed the pause button. “Here,
why did you retreat?”
Ning Zhehan thought back. “At the time, I thought that I couldn’t kill
him…”
Fu Li: “And as a result?”
Little Ning: “……” As a result, he’d let VIVI go, allowing him to go to the
bottom lane and mess up Lele.
Fu Li didn’t say anything and continued watching the game replay. There
was another time where VIVI and Ning Zhehan had another close
encounter. He once again pressed the pause button. “Why did you attack
here?”
Fu Li: “You felt that you could kill him?”
Ning Zhehan sighed. “I was reckless.”
In fact, that had been a trap that VIVI had been waiting for him to jump
into. Not only had he not killed anyone, he’d been killed instead.
It was a training match that lasted over 40 minutes. Ning Zhehan and VIVI
had many skirmishes. After all, they were both in the mid-lane, and fighting
broke out there all the time.
If Ning Zhehan and VIVI were on their own, the two of them were akin to
an adult stringing up and beating up a child.
VIVI clearly knew what Ning Zhehan was thinking, while Little Ning
wasn’t able to understand VIVI at all.
The most important thing was that Little Ning was still trying to understand.
This effort pushed him even further into a dead end.
Fu Li started up a game room. “Come on.”
Little Ning: “???”
Fu Li: “1v1.”
Ning Zhehan: “But this is the team map…”
Fu Li glanced at him. Little Ning shivered and quickly hurried into the
game.
1v1 could also be played in a 5v5 map. The system would automatically
pair them with AI teammates to fill in the gaps.
This kind of room was often used by regular players to train up talents.
Professional players, who had a whole pile of accompanying players to pick
from, wouldn’t bother with this mode.
Little Ning felt that this was very novel. And then, he was blasted to bits by
Fu Li!
Fu Li was obviously a VIVI-type mid-laner who was black bellied and

could scheme against others. When it came to tricking little cubs, he could
take down three on his own.
He even used VIVI’s routines to accurately ensnare Ning Zhehan.
After a game, Little Ning grew even more disheartened. He’d already
lacked confidence, and now, he had wilted even more. He even thought…
If Fu Li was FTW’s mid-laner, then how good would it be…
How could he hide these kinds of small thoughts from Fu Li?

Fu Li started up another room, but this time it was a pure solo game.
“Come.”
Ning Zhehan accepted the invitation. He was a little wilted.
Fu Li wasn’t the type of character who would coax others. “If you don’t
want to fight, then forget it.”
Ning Zhehan immediately perked up, scolding himself bloody in his heart.
What was there to lose? Captain Fu had worked so hard to come and help,
why was he still worrying about his dignity!
“Let’s fight!” Ning Zhehan sat up straight and stared carefully at the screen.
This was a simple fight. The new 1v1 mode didn’t require development,
planning, or even an overall view of the game. They just had to go in and
fight, fight, fight.
And then……
Little Ning felt a burst of exaltation and fulfilment as he managed to smear

Captain Fu all over the ground.
In the face of such a contrast, Brother Ning felt great!
He even wanted to do it a few more times.
Fu Li didn’t open up another room. “Do you feel that you’re shitty?”
Ning Zhehan shouted loudly, “No!”
Laozi was badass! He’d killed Captain Fu seven times!
Fu Li: “Then why can’t you beat me in 5v5?”
This one sentence turned Brother Ning into a withered eggplant that was
half withered. “Just… um… conscious… operations…” Something like
that.
Fu Li opened up both video recordings at the same time, showing him their
5v5 and 1v1.
Ning Zhehan wasn’t clear about what he was doing, but he watched along
with him and soon saw the problem…
There was no need for Fu Li to say more. He could feel it himself.
He was very different in the 5v5 and 1v1.
In the former, he always ended up getting all tied up, looking forward and
backward, thinking about this and that and missing countless opportunities;
in the latter, he’d completely let himself go and showcased his abilities
single-mindedly, leaving Fu Li unable to fight back.
Fu Li saw that he understood and explained further, “There is no perfect

player. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Different
strengths are suited for different teams, and their strengths aren’t any higher
or lower than others. No matter which strength is taken to an extreme,
they’re all very strong.”
Ning Zhehan had always been well-behaved. One of his strengths was his
obedience.
Being obedient definitely wasn’t a bad thing, especially for a half-grown

boy of his age. Being able to listen was definitely better than not listening at
all.
Little Ning didn’t look down on Fu Li for losing just because he’d won the
domestic championship. He still respected him very much.
It was this kind of unfaked, sincere feeling that had moved Fu Li and made
him willing to help.
This idea that Fu Li had given him was very valuable.
Ning Zhehan was also a talented player; he was undoubtedly a genius.

However, there were many geniuses in FTW, and they were talented in very
exaggerated ways.
Close and Quiet were too strong and sharp, meaning that they would
inevitably overshadow their teammates. It would make others, and even
their teammates, feel that they didn’t have enough talent and need to work
harder. But in fact…
When it came to mid-lane operations, Ning Zhehan had very few rivals.
Even Moonlit, whose strength was his excellent operations, was on the
same level as he was.
This level of ability was why FTW had spent a lot of money to sign over
this newcomer king.
However, FTW’s coaching team had always felt that Ning Zhehan was still
young and needed to build up his experience, so they hadn’t intervened in
his problems much.
Firstly, they were afraid of giving him pressure. Secondly, they were certain
that these problems could only be polished with time.
However, Fu Li had given Ning Zhehan a new idea that day.
“You can’t outthink him, but can’t you beat him?” Fu Li’s black eyes were
calm behind his glasses.
Fu Li: “You’re not even afraid of Quiet, what else is there to be afraid of.”
Ning Zhehan: “!!”
That’s right, what did Little Ning, who soloed with Quiet all year around,
have to be afraid of?
When it came to pure operations, who could he even be afraid of?

“But…” Ning Zhehan still had concerns. “If I just focus on killing him, I
might still fall into a trap.”
Fu Li opened his mouth and said mercilessly, “For better or worse, at least
there’s still half a chance of winning like that.”
Fu Li pushed his chair back, moved his shoulders, stood up, and said,
“Think about it properly. There isn’t much time.”
Fu Li left. Ning Zhehan sat there in a daze for a long time, then finally
thought it through.
For better or worse, at least there was half a chance of winning like that…
Dithering over things back and forth would end up releasing VIVI to go and
provide all kinds of support to his team.
Pestering him and fighting him directly was nothing more than life or death.
It might be a trap or a feint.
He had no way to accurately pinpoint it every time, so he might as well act

a bit more recklessly.
He would at least be right five times out of ten.
This degree of success was much better than getting all ten times wrong!
Fu Li had taken a bit of a gamble saying this to Ning Zhehan.
But as he’d said at the end, time was running out…
Even a 50 percent chance shouldn’t be given up!
It was often that kind of moment that would determine the outcome of a
game.
Ch244.2 - In the first match, the
battle of freedom, FTW scored a
point!
Just now, the fighting at the top lane had been in full swing. VIVI’s radar
was much sharper than Little Ning’s, and he’d realized that if he didn’t go
up to provide support for this wave, it was very likely that their top-jungler
combo would end up dead.
Losing both players would create a disadvantage for L&P, who was in a
relatively weaker situation. If they wanted to fight back, then they would
have to kill Close and Quiet, and ensure that at least their captain or Old G
remained alive. So, he had to go and provide support.
His teleportation CD had just come off cooldown. VIVI immediately

pressed on it, but unexpectedly, a chord fell down and landed on him.
His casting had been interrupted. VIVI narrowed his eyes.
Little Ning was cowering a little at this moment. It was over, it was over.
He always had a feeling that he was about to be squeezed to death by the
earth mage. What should he do, what should he do?
Fu Li’s calm voice sounded in his ear. “You can’t outthink him, but can’t
you beat him?”
It was as though the clear all button had been pressed. There was nothing
left in Ning Zhehan’s brain.
He didn’t think, didn’t try to guess., and didn’t try to predict anything. He’d
just fight and be done with it!
Since his positioning would be seen through, and any plans he made could
be countered…since thinking too much would only shackle him, then he
would just… trust his instincts!
Ning Zhehan was very clear about the earth mage’s skills.
The first skill was a control skill, the second was a shock type skill, and the
third was for burst damage.
He was also very familiar with the terrain of the middle lane. He hid in the
bushes for a half a second, and the ground beneath his feet shifted. The
earth mage’s skills were about to fall into place.
It didn’t matter if it landed on his left or right. The important thing was that
the positioning of the sound shock couldn’t be off-center, and the important
thing was that ‘sacrifice’ had to deal the maximum amount of damage.
What was even more important was that ‘listening’ needed to strengthen his
basic attack!
VIVi originally hadn’t thought too much about it. Pressing Little Ning to
the ground and killing him off was a common occurrence.
Although there was no way for him to support the top lane, killing off the
zither warlock would also provide L&P with an advantage. So, he gave up
on providing support and opened up a ground fissure in order to attack Ning
Zhehan.
This was a 1v1 fight, a mage solo in the middle lane of the canyon!
Solo.
FTW’s inherited solo.
Ning Zhehan was no longer afraid!
It wasn’t until the system announcement rang out, stating that Silvery had
killed VIVI, that not only granny gray, but even VIVI himself was left
stunned.
In those few short seconds, he’d felt a shocking pressure, an aura that made
people’s scalp feel numb and a momentum that neither the heavens nor the
earth could stop!
What VIVI hadn’t expected was that he’d be suppressed by Ning Zhehan’s
momentum.
He’d been crushed by a little fuzz-haired brat.
FTW’s team chat was filled with joy.
Brother Cai was excited. “Little Ning, not bad, you played beautifully,
badass!”
He praised Ning Zhehan so much that his face turned a little red.
At this time, everyone from FTW had resurrected. When the shadow thief
and blood thief rushed out of the fountain, Wei Xiao’s lips curved up.
“Come on, let’s win the game!”
This awesome opening in the game had to be followed through to the end!
At the backstage guest seats, Fu Li had an almost imperceptible smile in his

eyes.
A retired veteran to his right, Chen Liang, said, “This brat Ning Zhehan has
some skills.”
Fu Li replied implicitly, “He’s still tender.”
Chen Liang laughed out loud. “Don’t look down on those young generals.
The future belongs to you young people.”
Who hadn’t grown into maturity from immaturity?
His tender immaturity also meant he had infinite possibilities.
The entire FTW was providing an interpretation of their new team

manifesto––
Like the scorching sun shining in the sky, giving off infinite glory!
Under the stage, Chen Feng was more anxious and serious than anyone
else.
After everyone died in the top lane and Ning Zhehan killed VIVI, Chen
Feng almost jumped up to his feet.
Tang Chen was still smiling and laughing. “Not bad, not bad.” They’d all
grown up. The cubs had gradually learned to stand up on their own, and
FTW was really getting there.
Chen Feng exhaled lightly. “A little reckless.”
Tang Chen: “It’s fine as long as they succeed.”
Chen Feng: “If Wei Xiao hadn’t killed VIVI once before, allowing his farm
to start building up, then Little Ning would’ve sent himself off to die in this
round.”
These two coaches from FTW were also old partners, one was pessimistic,
while the other was optimistic.
Tang Chen continued to smile. “Isn’t this what cooperation is?”
Tang Chen’s words were really correct. There were prerequisites for Little
Ning’s kill, but these prerequisites had already been created by Wei Xiao
and even Close.
Wasn’t a good chain reaction the result of good teamwork?!
Close had attracted their opponent’s firepower, and Wei Xiao had taken
three kills. Ning Zhehan had seized the opportunity to solo and won, a
result of both relying on his teammates and seizing opportunities for
himself.
Such tight cooperation that didn’t require too much thinking was definitely
the best type of tacit understanding within a team!
This game had deviated from L&P’s plan.
The top-jungler situation was tense as both parties attacked each other until
nothing but scorched earth was left behind.
L&P, who had originally been able to easily suppress the middle and bottom
lane, gradually fell behind. When the one providing support from the
middle lane changed from VIVI to Ning Zhehan, then the effects became
quite different.
Ning Zhehan didn’t plan to go to the top lane at all. He ran straight to the
bottom lane every time.
L&P’s marksman AA was relatively invisible in the team. It wasn’t that he

was weak but that his teammates shone too brightly.
At first, Yue Wenle and Bai Cai had been beaten flat by the opposite side,
but Ning Zhehan had inspired them. When he arrived, it was three against
two, and there was nothing to fear!
There were flowers blooming in the mid-lane and the bottom lane. The key
to victory in this game was the three little ones from FTW!
The live broadcast studio was very emotional. “FTW is growing very
quickly.”
“It’s only been one season, but it seems like the newcomers have been hit
with hormones, growing the whole way.”
“The most important thing is their team’s tacit understanding. It’s quite
different from how it was last year.”
“It’s not that I’m a Close flatterer, but really, Close has changed a lot this
year.”
“Oh, I feel like I love him even more!”

“He’ll be my husband for my whole life!”
Finally under FTW’s steady encroachment, L&P topped like a mountain

and finally had their crystal pushed over.
In the first match, the battle of freedom, FTW scored a point!
Everyone in the audience cheered and clapped for a long time.
This was a very iconic game that could be taken out and talked about even
many years later.
It was a new birth for FTW, showing their growth and progress.
The battle of freedom.
For freedom, for victory!
The second match soon began. After Chen Feng came up on stage, he
knocked them all down a notch. “L&P won’t be careless in the next match.”
Brother Cai: “We won’t be, either!”
Little Ning: “Yeah!”
Chen Feng said solemnly, “Stay steady.”
The three little ones calmed down slightly, but it was still hard for them to
hide the excitement lurking between their eyebrows.
They’d won against L&P, won against the double dark combo. They’d won
against the year before last’s championship team and last year’s runner up
team, the former Team of Gods!
Even if it was just a small match, it was enough to make them so excited
they couldn’t help themselves.
Compared with FTW’s happy mood, L&P’s side was a bit quiet. Of course,
they’d been very quiet during the last game as well.
L&P’s coach stood behind Yuan Ze. The only sounds in their team chat was
from the two of them talking.
They discussed the line-up, tactics, and play.
Yuan Ze had very good looking eyes. When he was acting frivolous, it was
enough to make people blush, but when he was serious, they were calm and
deep, like black jade in a deep pool of water.
“Double berserker?”
“FTW won’t let that out.”
“The flying warrior or blood warrior, we have to take one of them.”
Yuan Ze stared at the screen and said, “Space-time knight.”
Coach: “……”
Old G spoke quickly, “If so, then we…”
Yuan Ze: “Take it.”
There was an uproar at the scene when L&P took the space-time knight.
Tang Chen was still as happy as ever. “Marshal’s space knight, hey…”
As FTW’s former top-laner and Yuan Ze’s substitute, Tang Chen knew
Yuan Ze very well.
Yuan Ze, who was fond of teaching others, wished he could be everyone’s
teacher.
Jungler, bottom lane, mid-lane. Other than support, he’d ‘taught’ all of
them. Of course, he wouldn’t skip Tang Chenchen.
Although he was his substitute, Tang Chen had previously had almost no
chance to play.
Alright, then. Be a bit more confident and take out the ‘almost’. He hadn’t
had any chance to play.
The reason why the Team of Gods had substitutes at all was due to the
competition system at the time.
They had to have a substitute for the globals. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be
allowed to participate. So, Tang Chen from the second team had been
brought in as a substitute.
He’d touched the world cup and gotten a ring to show for it, but he didn’t
belong in the Team of Gods.
But later on…
Tang Chen had had a chance to play.
At the time, FTW had just won the championship and hadn’t yet split apart.
It was an exhibition game and Yuan Ze said, “Let Old Tang go and play a
game for me.”
Their coach back then had frowned. “It’s just an exhibition game…”
Yuan Ze: “So what if it’s an exhibition game.”
The coach couldn’t afford to provoke these guys and could only swallow
down any unhappiness.
Yuan Ze said to Tang Chen, “Don’t you play your space-time knight quite
well?”
Tang Chen hadn’t been as carefree as he was now and would still be
nervous. “But I… I… um…”
Yuan Ze: “What do you mean, um? Can you or can’t you?”
Tang Chen: “… I can.”
Yuan Ze patted him on the shoulder. “Go, then.”

They’d naturally won the exhibition game. Tang Chen’s space-time knight
had made everyone’s eyes grow bright.
It was a very interesting style of play, even if it wasn’t very suitable for the
perfect Team of Gods.
What no one else knew was that, later on, Yuan Ze had also studied the
space-time knight for a long time.
Tang Chen had asked him quietly, “Why are you interested in the space-
time knight?”
Yuan Ze’s reply had been irreverent. “I occasionally want to support Little
Lulu.”
The space-time knight tended towards support. It was an entry level top-
jungler combo option.
Ch245.1 - A mystery that was never
solved.
Support Close?
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, but a stream of heat soon poured out
of his heart, and he offered up his own services. “I-I can tell you…” At the
time, Brother Tang had still been part of the younger generation. Although
he was brave, he was still nervous.
Yuan Ze squinted at him. “Are you going to teach me?”
Yuan Ze: “Wake up a bit. I taught you this talent.”
Brother Tang woke up.
The space-time knight had indeed been something that Yuan Ze had taught
Tang Chen. A professional player picking up a talent wasn’t just limited to
simply understanding its skills and moves. Many other aspects also had to
be considered, such as game awareness, line-up matching, early and late
stage plans, and so on.
Although not every talent had its own line-up system, it was very important
for a qualified player to be able to distinguish the differences between each
talent within the same profession.
There were many differences involved even for the top lane. Even if they
were both DPS type talents, there would still be a slight difference. Only by
grasping the subtleties of each talent would they be able to stand out from
other experts among the crowd.
Tang Chen’s space-time knight was played well and he’d trained it a lot;
Yuan Ze had almost never played the space-time knight and hadn’t trained
with it.
But the latter player was really better than the former.
Yuan Ze started complaining about it as soon as he picked it up. “Can this

kind of damage do anything except tickle other players?”
“This basic attack – is it a shoulder and neck massage?”
“This control – the range marker is so wide, but it’s so slow to start up.
Only the blind can’t escape it, right?”
The hero he was best at was being disdained like this. Tang Chen: “……”
He wanted to argue, but couldn’t figure out where to start.
Although these words were ugly, they were reasonable and made sense
coming from Yuan Ze’s mouth.
The space-time knight’s damage was really inferior to that of DPS talents
like the berserker warrior and the blood warrior. The damage from its basic
attack couldn’t be compared with the death knight daddy who could deal
3800 damage with a strengthened critical hit, and as for its control skill…
Brother Tang had also complained about it before. The range marker was
too large, and it took almost 0.2 seconds to start up. How blind would their
opponent have to be to miss it?
Casual players’ reaction here: Offence taken!
However, the space-time knight’s biggest bug was his ultimate move. As
long as the space-time knight had its ultimate move mechanism, then it was
absolutely valuable.
Yuan Ze cursed the space knight from head to tail, but he didn’t mention the
ultimate move at all.
Strong was strong. If it was used well, then it could reverse heaven and
earth. This was also why he was training with the talent.
Later on, the Team of Gods fell apart. Let alone being teammates; they
weren’t even in the same competition zone. Yuan Ze’s space knight
naturally never had an opportunity to be taken out and used.
And it was also later that Tang Chen used the space knight to support Close
again and again. Whenever he tried to turn the tide and avoid defeat, he
would think to himself, “If it was Yuan Ze using the space-time knight, how
would he do it?”
Unfortunately, this was a mystery that was never solved.
No one would ever know how far Close could’ve gone with Yuan Ze’s
space-time knight.
No one would ever know whether Yuan Ze’s space-time knight would be
able to let Close return to the state he was in two seconds ago after brushing
out nine light arcs, so that he could brush out another set.
And no one would ever know whether Yuan Ze had wanted to break the
Team of Gods taboo––accompanying Close to the doubles competition.
The space-time knight could reverse time.
But Yuan Ze couldn’t.
When hearing that he wanted to take the space knight, the most excited one
was Old G. “Ah! What a pity, FTW banned the shadow thief QAQ!”
He could even convey an expression pack when speaking, really worthy of

being Old G, a little language genius.
In full-game BP mode, any talent that had been used before couldn’t be
used again, and any talent that was banned couldn’t be banned again.
Before the start of a new match, the system would provide BP data for the
previous match, and these talents couldn’t be selected for the next match.
However, the battle of freedom was a special case and wasn’t included in
this.
Although Old G had used the shadow thief, he’d used it during the battle of
freedom and it didn’t count. It was just that FTW had banned it for this
match, and from how regretful he seemed, it was evident that he had a
routine with Yuan Ze’s space knight.
Yuan Ze: “Take the berserker thief first.”
At present, the berserker thief was indisputably one of the strongest jungler
talents. They had first pick in this match and could snatch it up first. At the
very least, they wouldn’t lose out in the jungler position.
The coach thought that way too, but he was also worried. “When it comes
to DPS…”
Reasonably speaking, DPS should come from the mid-lane and bottom
lane, and at most, the jungler would supplement some damage, but in L&P,
Yuan Ze held up half the heavens. Although he was on the top lane, he was
still an important DPS dealer. If he played the space-time knight, then there
wouldn’t be enough DPS, and secondly, it wouldn’t be easy for him to cut
to the back row. It would make things quite difficult.
VIVI muttered, “I’ll take the demonic mage.”
This baby-faced, smiling tiger’s voice was very low. It was enough to show
how angry President V was about being bullied by Little Ning in the last
match.
The back waves beat down the front waves, and the front waves had gotten
very angry!
If he didn’t mess with him in this game, then granny gray’s tail would fly all
the way up to the heavens.
The coach thought about it. “Okay.”

AA also took a talent that had strong DPS in the late stages. L&P was using
a standard Glory line-up this time, but it wasn’t their own regular line-up.
After the BP ended, the commentators and audience were surprised to see
the results of the BP.
Yuan Ze was using the space-time knight?
What kind of routine was this!
The last person to pick in L&P took the space knight. At that moment,
everyone thought, “Mo should be using the space knight to play support.
Interesting, interesting.”
Very quickly, it turned to–– “That’s not right! there’s already a holy priest in
the line-up…”
So then–– “Holy shit, is Scum Man Yuan using the space-time knight!”
The scrolling comments exploded. Some were confused, some curious, but
most of them were quietly happy. Of course, there were also haters and
trolls who tried to tilt the atmosphere with dark self-indulgence.
“How much money did FTW give? I’ll pay double to buy L&P. Can’t they
play the game properly!”
“What kind of under the table deal is this? L&P is clearly just taking it easy;
can’t they be a bit less shameless!”
The conversation in FTW’s team chat was also dumbfounded.
Wei Xiao: “The old bandit has another trick!”
Ning Zhehan: “Has Captain Yuan used this before during training
matches?”
Bai Caicai: “L&P actually knows how to double support…”
Only Lu Feng and Chen Feng remained silent.

Lu Feng would remain silent even if the sky was about to collapse. Oh,
except for when he was dealing with Wei Little Xiao, who could be worse
than the sky collapsing when he started messing around.
Chen Feng was silent because he felt like his heart had been stabbed with a
knife.
He had a close relationship with Tang Chen, especially during those most
difficult years. They’d supported each other and comforted each other,
forcibly holding on and toughing it out.
Looking at the empty FTW and the lonely Close, the passionate, hot-headed
Chen Feng had cursed the stupid management to death. He didn’t feel
satisfied with just scolding them and had continued on to curse the guys
who’d left. Yuan Ze, as the one with the snarkiest mouth, had been hit the
hardest.
At first, Tang Chen hadn’t said anything. He felt that saying anything would
be useless and would only increase the sadness he felt. However, he
couldn’t hold back when he heard Chen Feng scold Yuan Ze like this, so
he’d spoken up––
He’d heard that Yuan Ze had been secretly practicing the space knight.
He’d heard that Yuan Ze had wanted to cooperate with Close.
He’d heard that Yuan Ze may have wanted to play doubles…
Chen Feng was so distressed that he was all a mess.
“Damn it.”
It wasn’t clear who he was cursing this time.
At this time, when Chen Feng saw Yuan Ze’s space-time knight, the feeling
of bitterness in his heart was almost the same as being poured a bowl of
bitter melon juice.
The talent he’d practiced in order to cooperate with Close was now on the
other side across from them.
The tip of his tongue tasted f*cking bitter.
Of course, Chen Feng wouldn’t say anything about it at this time, even if he
heard Wei Xiao’s next sentence. “Teacher Yuan has a real true love
relationship with Old G, hey?”
Such a powerful man had actually taken a functional support for the top
lane. Not only was he putting his trust in the jungler, he was also entrusting
him with his dignity.
The dignity of victory.
Chen Feng kept silent.
He couldn’t answer, couldn’t explain, and couldn’t speak.
As of now, words were pale and powerless, and they could only stride
forward.
Winning the game was their only option.
The line-up on FTW’s side was more conventional. Close had taken the
blood warrior, while Wei Xiao was using the immortal thief. Little Ning
looked at his own jumping and bouncing fire mage and felt a little flustered.
“I feel like I’m going to get screwed over by the demonic mage.”
Bai Caicai: “……”
His comments were changing color from proximity to Wei Xiao! Little
Ning, don’t forget your own ID!
From the perspective of their line-ups, FTW seemed to have a more

dominant start in this game. Their line-up was commendable in all aspects,
and there was nothing unexpected.
Could it be that FTW was going to get a 2:0 score?

Could it be that these two teams had really done a XX under the table deal?
Could it be that L&P was really going to be flamed like dogs back in North
America?
Of course not.
At the start, L&P didn’t hesitate to invade the other side’s jungle zone,
heading straight into FTW’s top jungler zone.
Wei Xiao couldn’t see anything and his teammates hadn’t even reached
their lanes yet, but he could sense that something was off. “Captain!”
Lu Feng glanced at the minimap and said, “Hit the wolf creep first.”
If the top lane went into the other side’s jungle, then the wolf creep was the
one that was particularly easy to snatch away.
The blue buff had a lot of health, and if they wanted to quietly break the
other side’s rhythm, then the wolf creep was a good choice.
Lu Feng’s judgement was based on the fact that Yuan Ze’s space knight
only had average combat capability in the early stages. If he went into the
other side’s jungle, they likely wouldn’t be greedy and go for a buff daddy.
Close had indeed been right.
Wei Xiao killed a wolf creep, and when he was attacking the remaining
two, the other side exposed themselves. The berserker thief and space
knight had arrived…
Close sent out a blood spike. From the sound of the effects, it had hit!
The audience who had god’s perspective could see it clearly. “It hit, it hit!
There’s a blood seal hanging over Yuan Ze’s skull!”
“Hit him, hit him, Close, kill him!”

The trolls continued to mess with the world. “Look, I already said there was
an under the table transaction. Yuan Ze’s clearly just acting. Does he want
to enter the entertainment industry?”
Close had indeed hit the space-time knight with his blood spike, and there
was a blood mark hanging over him.
After getting caught by the blood mark, the blood warrior’s continued
attacks would cause sustained loss of health. This was the start to the blood
warrior’s combo. Of course, the blood warrior was still level one, so there
was no combo even if he’d wanted to continue.
Yuan Ze wasn’t flustered or in a hurry. He sported the mark over his head
and continued walking forward, showing no intention to retreat at all.
Old G was very moved. “Captain~~~” His captain was very kind, helping
him block out the wind, rain, and any blood marks as well.
Yuan Ze’s reply was ruthless. “Get lost.”
If you don’t have a crisp, young voice, then don’t f*cking use this kind of
cavity inducing tone, okay? Wait… what young voice? F*ck!
Since they’d already exposed themselves, then there was no need to try and
sneak attack the wolf creep. Gary went straight for the blue daddy with his
scythe in hand.
How could Wei Xiao let him steal the blue buff?
As everyone knew, the immortal thief was like an immortal when they had
mana, and they turned into a salted fish without mana. Wei Xiao had no
plans to be a salted fish vegetable, so how could he let other people get his
blue buff?
So, did they start fighting?
They started fighting!

L&P had lost the first match and had taken such a surprising line-up in the
second match, but they seemed to be braver than before.
Ch245.2 - Did you ask the great
demon king’s blade for permission?
The blood warrior had only unlocked his blood spike.
The immortal thief had only unlocked a two segment movement skill.
The space-time knight only had a ground mine.
The berserker thief had gone for his second skill, but unfortunately he
hadn’t yet dared to release his scythe. It was unknown what he was
planning.
Four top players and four powerful talents. At this moment, they were all
only at level one and most only had one skill. They were like baby tigers
who were still in kindergarten. They were fierce enough, but their
momentum was too soft. Their back and forth exchanges were like primary
school students fighting.
Oh… this was an insult to primary school students.
Primary school students had glorious grades, okay!
The blood warrior’s spike hit the space knight time and time again.
The immortal thief evaded the berserker thief’s basic attack time and time
again.
The space-time knight’s earth mine hit nothing time and time again.
The berserker thief was still waiting, waiting and waiting to release his
scythe…
In fact this only took ten seconds, but it gave people an illusion that they’d
been fighting for a century.
Of course, the audience loved to watch this kind of thing, and they wanted
to watch, but…
“Old G, what the hell are you doing! Did you forget that you unlocked your
second skill?” Why was he holding onto his scythe and not letting go?
Fight!
Finally…
When the space-time knight tossed out an earth mine toward the immortal
thief, Wei Xiao dodged it using flexible movements.
At this time, the berserker thief’s scythe shot forth. The scythe that he’d
held onto for half a century finally moved!
How well did Wei Xiao understand the berserker thief?
He understood them so well that he could get a pentakill with his eyes
closed. As soon as he saw the hand gesture, he knew that the scythe was
coming…
The immortal thief who had two segments of movement at the start of the
game had the advantage and could easily dodge away, but…
That wasn’t right!
Wei Xiao’s pupils contracted as he realized the problem. “The blue buff!!”
The scythe was headed for the blue buff!
Old G had always had an ulterior motive. From the beginning to the end, he
hadn’t any plan to kill the level one immortal thief who couldn’t even deal
damage. He just wanted to take the blue buff.
However, Wei Xiao didn’t lose hope, thinking he could wait until the last
second and snatch back the blue buff.
Gary was also calculating the same thing. Based on the two players’
understanding of the blue buff’s health, they would be able to grasp a level
of accuracy that was within one or two drops of health…
Wei Xiao, who was slightly further away and whose skills were on
cooldown, was just a tiny bit late. Gary easily took away the blue buff and
turned to run away.
This bastard had come looking exactly like he’d wanted to fight, giving off
an ambitious intent of taking away a double kill, yet as a result, he just went
for the blue buff and slipped away!
Wei Xiao was going to explode on the spot!
Wei Xiao sucked in a breath. “Mm…”
It really was fine. Although losing the blue buff would affect the immortal
thief’s jungle clearing rhythm, he definitely wouldn’t let Gary control his
blue buff forever.
This so-called controlling the blue buff meant calculating the refresh time
for the blue buff daddy. When the blue buff disappeared from their bodies,
they would immediately come for the blue buff again. In this way, if they
managed to control it well, then the immortal thief would be left without a
blue buff throughout the entire game.
An immortal thief without the blue buff would have their combat power
reduced by half.
Would Wei Xiao sit there and wait to die? No way!
When the blood warrior fought against the space knight, the space knight
could only shrink back.
Lu Feng didn’t rush to go back up to the top lane. He first helped Wei Xiao
clear out his jungle, not taking any experience and supporting the immortal
thief who’d lost his blue buff.
Wei Xiao’s heart was sweet. “Captain, you’re so nice~”
Everyone, Wei Little Xiao, who didn’t take Glory’s Mic Explosion King
seriously on a daily basis!
Things remained calm for about two minutes.
Although FTW had lost their blue buff, they weren’t in a panic because Wei
Xiao soon rushed over to the other side’s red buff zone and stole away the
three stone men.
He was a bit distressed about losing the buff, but he’d at least managed to
recover some experience and gold.
With Close’s help, the immortal thief was in good shape by the time he
started ganking.
Regardless of what talent Yuan Ze had taken, Gary would definitely go to

the top lane for the first wave of attacks.
The space knight had no way to hold down the blood warrior. If Gary didn’t
go and help, then the space-time knight would lose lane soldiers until it was
left helpless.
Wei Xiao wanted to go to the top lane, too. However, Lu Feng said, “No
need.”
Wei Xiao understood what Lu Feng meant. He could hold off Yuan Ze and
Gary on his own, creating an opportunity for Wei Xiao to regain his
initiative with the blue buff.
Wei Xiao glanced at the minimap and thought about the strength of the
space-time knight prior to level six. He didn’t think that it would be
problematic. “Okay, I’ll get the blue buff first.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
In fact, what Glory’s Mic Explosion King should focus on cutting was this
conversation. While others wouldn’t understand their conversation, Wei
Xiao could always read Lu Feng’s mind and understood everything even if
Lu Feng didn’t say it clearly.
Compared with some flashy words, this kind of unique tacit understanding
was even more amazing.
In the top lane, Gary’s scythe had missed its mark, but he didn’t panic.
Instead, he walked forward and tried to fight with Lu Feng through basic
attacks.
Reasonably speaking, the berserker thief trying to win with basic attacks
against the blood warrior (even before reaching level six) was a little
ambitious, but that didn’t take into consideration the space knight behind
him.
Yuan Ze had complained about all of the space-time knight’s skills prior to
reaching level six, but he could use them very well.
The first skill, earth mine, was chaotically accurate. It was just that Lu
Feng’s reaction speed was shocking, and he could forcibly avoid it through
keeping an eye out for the skill indicator.
The second skill was actually very interesting. It was a strange type of
shield. By default, it would give friendly forces a significant increase in
defense, but it could be quickly switched to a damage reflect type shield.
In other words, this shield had two effects when it was used. One effect was
for protecting teammates, and the other was for using teammates as bait to
lure the enemy.
How it was operated depended on the space-time knight’s judgement.
The third skill was a super ranged movement skill, and it was also the core
skill for a space-time knight in the top lane due to its high support
capability.
Its ultimate move, time reversal, allowed teammates to return to the state
they’d been in two seconds ago. No matter what state they were in two
seconds ago, it would revert back.
It could bring the dead back to life, reset skill cooldowns, and even clear
away buffs…
Of course, professional players wouldn’t make such low-level mistakes.
The space-time knight, who only had two skills, could also play them to
maximal effect.
Block damage, take the brunt of skills, and make use of his high defense to
look for opportunities for the berserker thief. At the same time, he
accurately tossed out his earth mines.
When it came to accuracy, it wasn’t that he was trying to hit Close, but
rather, planning the misses to affect Close’s pathing.
He clearly knew that he couldn’t hit Close, and it would be a waste of time
to keep trying. It was better to do the opposite and force Close to move
where he wanted with the mines.
Either get hit by the mine or step into Gary’s attack range.
It was a two against one fight in the top lane, which made the audience
excited as they watched, but it made Chen Feng’s heart distressed to watch.
Many things were unimaginable.
For example, he could never imagine that Yuan Ze, who was absolutely
self-centered, would ‘support’ a jungler.
He couldn’t have imagined that Yuan Ze would use the space-time knight so
well.
Furthermore, he couldn’t imagine if Gary in this scenario had been Close
instead…
Gary’s play style had always been similar to that of Close.
Gary: “Wei Xiao’s blue buff is out.” He pinpointed the time.
Yuan Ze glanced at the situation. “Suppress Close.”
Wei Xiao had to be working on the blue buff. Instead of going there and
taking a risk, it was better to pressure the blood warrior and draw Wei Xiao
over to provide support.
Would Little Lunatic Wei just watch as his captain died in the top lane?
Wei Xiao was really worried. He picked up his pace as he attacked the blue
buff.
Close was dealing with the two people on the top lane, but he also kept an
eye on the health of the blue buff daddy.
When he was down to the last hit, Lu Feng said, “Come get the red.”
As soon as these words came out, Little Ning, who was ‘chatting’ with
President V, and Yue Wenle and Caicai, who were trading blows, all paused
for a moment.
Red buff?
The top-jungler zone was all about the blue buff. Where did the red buff
come from?
And he told him to ‘come get it’?
Wei Xiao understood instantly. The corner of his lips curved up, and he
smiled like a little fox. “’Kay.”
He pressed the transmission button and landed just when the blood warrior
attacked, sending a blood cut out towards the berserker thief!
This sudden 2v2 not only made Old G jump, but even the audience was
stunned for a moment.
“How fierce!”
“Exciting, exciting, the little lunatic couldn’t stand it and came to help the
great demon king fight back!”
The situation changed faster than the scrolling comments. Gary tossed out
his scythe and hit Close!
However, he hesitated slightly at this junction. Should he pull the great

demon king over? Was this really not a trap?
The space-time knight’s shield landed on Gary’s body.
There was no need for words. Gary pulled in his scythe, bringing the blood
warrior daddy to him. The scythe and blood spike shot out at the same time,
special effects rising up as black gas and blood mist roiled around the two
people, almost blocking out their figures.
Yuan Ze: “DPS.”
He used only one shield, but switched it back and forth seamlessly to ensure
that Gary was in defensive mode when Close used his skills and that
damage reflect was on when Close attacked.
Damage reflect was most effective when the other person was being
attacked with basic attacks.
This wave of micro manipulation by Yuan Ze gave full play to the breadth
of space-time knight.
Those who had scolded him, hated on him, and spurned him for not treating
the game seriously all shut up at this moment.
This space-time knight…
Was aiming for the championship skin!

Seeing Close’s health plummet so suddenly, the immortal thief charged
right in front of the berserker thief. The blood warrior ignored the space-
time knight, taking the damage from his mine and resisting his damage
reflect to mercilessly send out a blood cut. He took heavy damage while
also dealing a serious blow to the berserker thief.
The immortal thief drew up a prison, landing four attacks in a row to send
Gary, who was at half health, back home.
If the audience could hear the team chat, they would understand why it was
‘come get the red’.
Because Gary had a red buff on him.
Buffs could be transferred. If you killed an enemy, you would gain their
buffs.
Old G had just stolen the immortal thief’s blue daddy at the start of the
game, but he had to pay for it using his own head as well as the red buff
daddy that he’d gotten for himself!
You want to control Wei Little Xiao’s blue buff?
Did you ask the great demon king’s blade for permission?
Ch246.1 - Captain, I love you to
death!
After getting the red and blue buffs, the jungler king became happy and
opened his mouth, saying, “Captain, I love you to death!”
Acting spoiled, acting cute, he did it all. Wei Little Xiao’s sweetness came
online right on time.
Everyone in FTW remained composed. Bai Cai, who’d seen all sorts of
storms and waves, was completely calm. When it came to Glory’s Mic
Explosion King, coming out of the closet in public, subverting people’s
outlooks on life…
That was overthinking it!
Just look at the calm Little Ning, then look at the even calmer Yue Lele.
Who would take Wei Xiao’s coquettish words seriously?
Oh, someone would.
The great demon king would take it seriously. The only one in the world,
the exclusive one, a customized special version.
When faced with tons of dog food, the clueless Ning Zhehan and Yue
Wenle had a natural immunity. The clued in Bai Cai had already eaten so
much of it that he’d abandoned himself.
What else could he do?
Brother Cai rolled his eyes: He’d just eat it; it wasn’t like he could get fat
on it, anyway.
Gary had been killed, and there wasn’t much Yuan Ze could do. He couldn’t
use a space-time knight to control a great and small demon king prior to
level six.
It wasn’t that Marshal was cowering, but that he was calm, wise, and had an
eye on the big picture.
For men, they would quit as soon as they decided to quit. It hurt quite a bit
to get bitten by the little lunatic.
The live broadcast audience had originally started praising Yuan Ze,
thinking that he had some skills and was using the space-time knight well.
They admitted that he wasn’t an Oscars winning actor and wasn’t trying to
deliberately lose to FTW.
But now, they changed perspectives again. The haters and flamers acted like
they‘d been recharged with energy and swarmed out, starting to chatter
on––
“Like I said, the space knight’s no good. Taking a support type talent
without a support’s way of thinking, is Marshal having a fun time acting?”
“I’m laughing. As a support type top-laner, he didn’t go up to take damage

or send himself up to die. Instead, he let his core DPS die miserably under a
double attack. Yuan Ze, is your way of thinking taking a turn for the
worse?”
“People with a self-focused consciousness shouldn’t try this talent, okay? Is

it that there aren’t enough DPS type warrior talents or DPS style paladins?
Please let the space knight off the hook.”
“He even dares to use the space knight. Scum Man Yuan might be better off
trying to be a flight attendant.”
“Don’t disgrace flight attendants. We don’t only look at faces, thank you!”
The scrolling comments swept by happily and were even filled with
gloating. They were hoping Yuan Ze would mess up and that L&P would be
violently beaten up.
The commentators were very impartial, especially Eurostar. They’d never

fought head on with L&P, but they knew a lot about them since they were a
team who played very similarly to FTW. They often reviewed their games
as example games.
So, Eurostar was very clear about Yuan Ze’s play style.
Self-centered, strong, uncompromising.
He really was strong, living up to his name as the solo king.
It was also true that he was self-centered. This was a common problem in
the Team of Gods. However, Yuan Ze’s teammates had learned to adapt to
him after training and had enough ability to keep up with him.
There was no problem with their top-jungler linkage, and there was no
problem with their mid and bottom lanes.
In the later stages, they each carried out their own duties during team fights.
L&P was a team that was formed with Yuan Ze as its soul.
It wasn’t on purpose, but Yuan Ze’s natural aura had formed the current
L&P.
Only when one understood Yuan Ze’s temperament and L&P’s play method
would one know how much he’d paid out in order to use the space-time
knight so well.
Since ancient times, there had been a saying that rivers and mountains
changed easily, but human nature was difficult to change.
Suppressing Yuan Ze’s original nature wasn’t easy.
Eurostar: “Although Gary was killed in the top lane, Marshal has already
done all he could. He’s not yet reached level six, and his time and space
reversal skill hasn’t been unlocked. The only shield he had was unavailable
because it was on cooldown from the battle with Close, while his earth
mines couldn’t cause enough damage. Even if he knew Quiet was coming,
Gary couldn’t withdraw from the position he was in, and he’d already
managed to limit the losses for his team by withdrawing in time.”
Normally, Eurostar wouldn’t say so much. This was called inflating other
people’s egos before destroying their prestige and would result in him
getting flamed in the live broadcast room.
However, Cowardly Baby Euro didn’t back down. He trembled in the

canyon but was angry and snappy on Weibo. With alt accounts in hand, he
would act righteously fearless saying things like: “It’s nothing much, I just
want to preach and talk some reason with those who curse my teammates
o(*￣︶￣*)o.”
Later on, he directly used his main account instead… cough.
The commentator picked up on Eurostar’s words and also gave a pertinent

evaluation of Yuan Ze’s operations.
The audience in the live broadcast room felt great. They included the
commentators in their flaming.
The elated Little Lunatic Wei had already started to go crazy in the canyon,
quickly clearing out the jungle zone. After confirming the vision, he rushed
into L&P’s jungle zone and swept through it recklessly.
Old G, come to the top lane. If the two of you are able to kill the great
demon king before level 6, then FTW will directly admit defeat!
Wei Xiao took advantage of the fact that the space time knight hadn’t yet
been fully unleashed to burn, kill, and loot the whole way. He took over the
jungle zone, helped his teammates gain the advantage in their lanes, and as
for kills… oh, President V and President A were always too clever and he
couldn’t catch them.
But that was fine. Getting Little Ning and Yue Wenle’s farm higher than
their counterparts was already a small step towards success!
They watched as FTW’s rhythm flew up, while L&P became more and
more passive.
The domestic audience was in high spirits while the foreign audience
cursed.
The objective evaluations that came from the wise, rational fans were soon
drowned out, and no one paid attention to them.
If the director aimed the camera through the coach seating, then everyone
would discover that Chen Feng’s expression was very solemn.
His eyebrows were drawn together, his fingers were interlaced and his lips
were pressed together tightly. Although he wasn’t biting his nails out of
habit, the degree of tension he showed was no less than that of any of the
earlier games.
FTW had the advantage, but the advantage that FTW had established
wouldn’t be enough for them to cope with L&P when they reached level 6.
That made sense…
The timing of this advantage was too brief, and there were too few things
that could be done. Wei Xiao had worked very hard to snatch up control of
the early stage, but no matter how hard he tried, the skills that would
eventually be unlocked were still bound to be unlocked.
Wei Xiao soloed the first silver dragon, and everyone in FTW reached level
6. At this time, everyone in L&P except for their support Mo had reached
level 5. Old G was just about to reach level 6.
Bai Cai sensed something from the bottom lane. “They’re starting on the
golden dragon!”
The first golden dragon was actually very easy to kill. Wei Xiao had gone
for the silver dragon due to the terrain; the silver dragon pit was
advantageous for FTW. After taking it down, their entire team would gain a
lot, and he could rush to the golden dragon pit after everyone was level 6. If
L&P wasn’t there when they arrived, then they could get double dragons
and fill up their coffers. If L&P was there, then they would have a
suppression group battle. With everyone at level 6, they could hammer L&P
until they went into seclusion.
Wei Xiao’s thoughts were very good, and Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle also
began to make their way to the golden dragon pit to set up.
In this game, the golden dragon was closer to the bottom lane. Because the
dragon pit faced the other side, FTW didn’t have good vision there. Brother
Cai was only able to notice something so early because he was paying close
attention.
Unfortunately, when he saw L&P, L&P noticed him as well. So, L&P knew
that FTW would come, but did they withdraw?
No!
The audience watched on nervously. “Did L&P not see Bai Cai?”
“Impossible. He’d exposed himself so much; is everyone from L&P blind?”
“Then why aren’t they withdrawing? Are they waiting for Wei to come and
stir things up?”
“L&P isn’t that stupid. Gary and President V are keeping their skills on
standby.”
“They even want to counterattack? With this kind of level difference, the
four people from FTW have fifteen skills. Only Old G is level six, how the
hell are they going to fight!”
“F*ck! They really started fighting!”
FTW came over to surround them. Bai Cai started up the fight first, and the
four from L&P didn’t show any intention of hiding at all. They started
fighting right away.
They were indeed fighting the dragon, and they really did want the golden
dragon, but they weren’t planning to avoid war!
They’d kept all their skills on standby, their nerves tight. They were just
waiting for FTW to attack!
“L&P is going to explode on the spot…”
“F*ck, the space-time knight!”
“Yuan Ze reached level six!”
“So what? His and Close’s transmissions are both on cooldown. He can’t
possibly arrive in time.”
“Damn it, I knew early on that the space knight could traverse half the map,
but I didn’t expect that he could go from the top dragon pit to the bottom
dragon pit by adding a flash!”
“This is too exaggerated. The blood warrior is a slow moving talent, and he
doesn’t have his major movement skill. It’s impossible for him to come
down and provide support.”
“But the question is… What can Yuan Ze do even if he comes to support?
Can he harvest kills as a space-time knight?”
“The immortal thief’s brushing out skills!”
Wei Xiao had already received the news from Lu Feng. He’d given a signal
as soon as Yuan Ze disappeared.
It was impossible for Lu Feng to go over to provide support, but based on

exercising their level six suppression abilities against level fives, the four
from FTW wouldn’t necessarily lose in a four against five fight. Besides,
Yuan Ze was gone, leaving the top lane empty. Lu Feng could take this
opportunity to push his tower, and their gains would be far greater that way
than having him come to the dragon pit.
After weighing the pros and cons, FTW had come to the best solution.
As for L&P?
Wei Xiao was absolutely an intuitive creature. His intuition was more
reliable than his rational analysis. He always felt that something was off and
that something wasn’t quite right.
FTW obviously had a great advantage, and the victory rate for this team
fight was 70%, but he still felt uneasy.
He couldn’t pinpoint it in words and could only say that based on his
recognition of Yuan Ze’s strength, L&P wouldn’t play a team fight where
they would obviously collapse.
Coincidentally, Brother Cai’s control skill landed on AA’s head.
This opportunity left no room for Wei Xiao’s thoughts. His skills moved
faster than his brain, and he darted forward, drawing a prison on the ground.
His ten thousand swords stacked up quickly, and he landed full damage on
AA’s head.
He would definitely die!
Even without the fireball damage that Ning Zhehan stacked on, President A
was done for.
This time, L&P had chosen the giant shaman for support. It was tanky
enough and had enough control, but it had no ability to restore health. It
didn’t even have a shield.
Of course, it was useless even if there was a shield. Unless the talent was a
real tank that could save one’s life, any ability to tank would be nothing but
air under this kind of explosive damage.
FTW.Quiet killed L&P.AA.
FTW.Quiet killed L&P.VIVI.

Ch246.2 - A very light ticking
sound could be heard.
Wei Xiao double kill!
The bulk of his damage had landed on AA, but Yue Wenle’s combo had
been aimed at VIVI. The weak mage who didn’t yet have his ultimate move
was sent home after shooting out three beams.
“Wonderful!” Commentator Brother Mouth spoke quickly: “FTW

cooperated perfectly in this wave. Bai Cai started up the fight, accurately
bypassing Mo to control AA. Wei Xiao is worthy of being an old teammate
of his, and his damage was on point. The two of them reacted so quickly
that it was as though they started at the same time. On the other side, Yue
Wenle was calm and silent, his flying arrows stabbing at VIVI. Although
VIVI was able to deal a huge amount of damage before he died, scraping
away Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle’s health, it was FTW who won a double
kill first. Only Mo and Gary are left alive from L&P, and two fists can’t
beat four hands. They…”
The commentators couldn’t keep up with the speed at which the situation
changed. The swarm of people who’d originally been killed by FTW
suddenly turned into a counter attack in the next second!
Two of his teammates were dead, but Gary didn’t show the slightest
intention of shrinking back. He locked onto Ning Zhehan with a scythe,
then used a basic attack to take away the fire mage’s remaining health.
After killing, his passive ability was triggered, and the berserker thief who
entered a berserk state was like a bloody phoenix, burning up everything in
his path.
Another scythe went out. Yue Wenle shifted positions, and Bai Cai gritted
his teeth to step forward, taking the hit for him.
The berserker thief didn’t hesitate and pulled Bai Cai over, beating him to
half health.
Bai Cai’s heart pounded like crazy. “F*ck him!”
He didn’t really need to speak. Yue Wenle and Wei Xiao had already
focused their fire on Gary.
Mo used his physical body to block the damage for Gary. He was already at
half health, but he still found an opportunity to control Yue Wenle. Brother
Cai was also no longer the salted fish he’d been in the past. Although he
was being passively beaten up, he wouldn’t miss any opportunities. He used
his own control skill and landed it on Gary’s head.
Although the skill hadn’t yet gone out, Wei Xiao could already see the
results. “Not bad, Old Bai.”
The skill would definitely land. Gary was done for!
And almost at exactly the same time, Wei Xiao tossed out all the damage he
could deal in Gary’s face the moment Gary was locked into place. They
watched as Gary’s health bar dropped like a roller coaster, but then a very
light ticking sound could be heard.
Wei Xiao: “!”
Bai Cai heard it too. “F*ck, the space-time prophecy!”
That ticking sound was the sound of time, the sound of a stopwatch moving
from zero to one, and it was a crucial second.
The space-time knight had reached level six!
He’d managed to rush to the dragon pit at the very last second and given his
space-time prophecy to Gary!
The space-time knight’s ultimate move––space-time prophecy.
To explain, this skill had two effects. One effect was that it allowed players
to turn back time to two seconds ago. It was targeted at skill cooldowns. For
skills that had already been used which were on cooldowns for over ten or
even dozens of seconds, as long as time was turned back, they could be
reused immediately.
The other effect was that it would return a player’s health back to how it
had been one second ago. If it was used well, it was like bringing the dead
back to life.
These two effects needed different trigger mechanisms. The reason why the
space-time knight was always left on the bench was that this mechanism
was too difficult to control.
No matter how strong the skill was, professional teams would consider it
very weak as long as its stability wasn’t good enough.
The high yield was accompanied by high risk, and gambling for one or two
seconds was fatal in a rapidly changing battlefield.
Obviously, Yuan Ze had it under control.
He arrived as fast as he could and triggered the health recovery mechanism,

putting it into play just one second before Gary fell to the ground. If he’d
been just a little earlier or later, then it wouldn’t have been effective at all.
Gary, whose health had fallen abruptly due to the burst of damage,
resurrected on the spot!
He didn’t need his skills to go back in time. The berserker thief in its
berserk state already had cooldowns that were almost nothing. The scythe
danced, and locked onto the immortal thief’s throat.
Wei Xiao sucked in a breath. “Old Yue, run!”
Anyone who managed to survive was better than none. Each life was worth
something.
Brother Cai quickly gave Wei Xiao a shield, attempting to save him.
Wei Xiao felt his body go cold when he saw the shield on his body, but he
didn’t say anything. He’d always known where Brother Cai’s problems lay,
but this wasn’t something that could be changed. Or, it should be said that
there was no need to change it.
In emergency situations, Bai Cai would only believe in him.
At the most dangerous point, his instinct was stronger than his mind, and he
would first attempt to protect Wei Xiao.
There were disadvantages to this. For example, it was absolutely impossible

for Wei Xiao to live at this time, so Bai Cai had given out his skills for
nothing. It was better to give them to Yue Wenle.
There were also advantages. Why did Brother Cai protect Wei Xiao so
carefully? Why did they have such tacit understanding in their jungler
support linkage? Why was their combined rhythm so strong? It was because
of this belief.
There were advantages and disadvantages, but the advantages generally

outweighed the disadvantages.
There was no absolute beauty in the world.
Gary killed Wei Xiao and locked his next scythe onto Bai Cai.
Brother Cai let out a breath of relief. At least they’d saved Yue Wenle. But
then…
Yue Wenle: “F*ck!” He’d managed to pull away from Gary while seriously
injured and close to death. Originally, he’d thought that he could survive.
Unexpectedly, a countdown appeared above his head––the countdown
mine.
Yuan Ze had managed to hang a mine on his head at some unknown point in
time!
The mine exploded two seconds later. Even if Yue Wenle had left the center
of the battle, he still had no way to escape this damage.
Two seconds wasn’t enough time for him to return to the fountain.
Two seconds wasn’t even enough for him to suck some health back from
the lane soldiers.
Two seconds wasn’t enough for his recovery skill to come off cooldown.
Two seconds…
L&P.Gary killed FTW.Quiet!
L&P.Gary killed FTW.White!
L&P.Marshal killed FTW.Le!
In a group fight where FTW would definitely win, this ‘one second’ was
enough to destroy their entire army!
At this moment, the audience held their breath and stared at the space time
knight and berserker thief on the field like they had just seen something
absurd.
What kind of bugged skill was this? What kind of out of control group fight
was this!
How had he managed to send out his space time reversal?
When had the countdown mine ended up on Lele’s head?
How did Old G get a double kill!
The only good thing was that Lu Feng had managed to take down the top
lane’s first defense tower, giving FTW a small advantage.
Gary’s transmission skill was now off cooldown. He directly went to the top
lane’s second tower and cleared out the lane. Seeing that their resurrection
timers were almost finished, Lu Feng didn’t try to rush forward any further
and stopped while he was still ahead.
L&P, who’d been under pressure, was now on the rise.
The space-time knight that had reached level six had become the most
difficult existence to deal with in the whole arena.
Bai Cai gnashed his teeth. “One ultimate move every thirty seconds, is that
even logical!”
Ning Zhehan: “He…he can also backtrack his own skills QAQ!”
Although the countdown mine cooldown was short, the cooldown time for
the second and third skills were very long. Using backtracking on himself
was really overboard. They’d only just blasted through his shields when
he’d gotten another one, and they’d just seen him on the bottom lane when
he showed up again in the mid-lane.
No one had ever thought that a support talent could be used so… so
flashily!
Other than this word, everyone couldn’t think of any other adjectives!
With the space-time knight driving the pace, Gary wasn’t the only one who
benefitted. President V and President A who’d been beaten up by these
younger brothers in the earlier match were also on the rise.
This was especially true for VIVI. This smiling tiger took very good care of
granny gray, and the arcs of his beams almost always located the small fire
mage. Two beams, three, four…
Little Ning was about to cry. “Does he have to use six beams to kill me! Do
I deserve it!”
Obviously, he deserved it. He deserved to be killed with damage to spare.
AA and Yue Wenle had developed relatively peacefully in the previous

match, but when it came to marksmen, being suppressed was more rage-
inducing than being killed.
Being killed at least meant that someone was targeting you. What did being
suppressed amount to?
Being inferior to others?
President A refused to accept that!
In this game, neither of them had taken showy talents, and both of them had
talents who would deal massive damage in the later stages.
However, President A had two ‘supports’, so Lele didn’t even have a

chance!
Nearly thirty minutes into the game, both the berserker thief and immortal
thief had already passed their strongest period. Both of them had been
reckless in the early stages, fighting and killing, and it was best if they
could end the game in the early or middle stages. Once it dragged into the
late stage, their effect in the group battles would plummet.
The berserker thief was better off than the immortal thief. After all, he
could refresh his passive through killing and could deal enough damage.
The immortal thief started to feel like it was just scratching elbows with its
attacks. When the thousand blades skill hit the ground and he wanted to go
again…
What are you thinking? You don’t have the space-time knight to rely on!
Wei Xiao was getting frustrated. Seeing that the situation had already gone
astray, he clenched his teeth and said, “I want to practice the space-time
knight too!” Just this? Laozi could play it too, and laozi could show off just
as well!
The others didn’t react much, but Bai Cai started trembling first. “About
that…”
He was a support. He really didn’t want to be forced into a gong role…
cough, he didn’t want to be forced into a jungler role!
At this time, Lu Feng said quietly, “No need.”
Wei Xiao sighed, “I was just saying…”
The space knight wasn’t like the soul warlock, and it was too strange using
it to fight in the jungle. This could very likely drive Brother Cai to death.
Unexpectedly, Lu Feng’s next sentence was: “I can use the space-time

knight.”
The author has something to say: In fact, Lulu knows everything.
xiin: ahhhh, the blades in their history T_T

Ch247.1 - They didn’t think about
winning or losing, and focused on
grasping the moment!
Lu Feng could use the space-time knight as well?
The four little ones were all stunned.
FTW did have a double support line-up. When Tang Chen played top lane,
he was very good at the space knight, and that line-up had a high win rate.
With two supports protecting Close, they could win a game playing three
against five.
Of course, the other side wasn’t stupid either. They used their ban spot on
the space time knight, breaking apart the double support line-up.
Brother Tang was able to use the space time knight, Caicai could use it as
well, and Wei Xiao could use it with some practice. However, picturing Lu
Feng using the space time knight left people feeling a bit incredulous.
The great demon king could use any talent in the singles competition, but
he never touched those that tended towards support.
It was difficult for a clever woman to make food without rice. No matter
how strong his personal ability was, it wasn’t possible to use a holy priest
and win in a solo game.
Just think about God Yan’s zen style four talents during the global opening
game for the new singles competition mode.
Of course, Lu Feng could certainly play the space knight.

The upper limit for the talent was high, the operations required were
complex, and the ultimate move mechanism was difficult. As a talent
kaleidoscope, there was nothing he couldn’t play.
It was just that playing it and really using it were two different things.
There were two kinds of play methods: DPS type and support type.
If there had been an uproar in the live broadcast room when Yuan Ze took
the space knight, then Lu Feng taking the space knight would leave the
entire world staring at him wide-eyed.
When the haters saw Yuan Ze using the space knight, they immediately
determined that he was an Oscars winning actor.
If they saw Lu Feng using it, then it was likely they wouldn’t even be able
to flame him––it would be like real life magic where someone else had
transmigrated into the great demon king’s body!
FTW was unable to turn the tide during the second game.
Although they managed to push their way to L&P’s base on the top lane,
they were only able to take down the outer towers in the other lanes.
Yuan Ze didn’t really fight directly against Lu Feng in this game. Except for
maintaining his lane soldiers, he basically didn’t fight with Lu Feng in the
top lane at all. He took Old G with him, and they roamed wildly through the
top and bottom jungle zones, hitting whoever they ran into. And whoever
those two ran into, died.
Bai Cai was so angry that he couldn’t control his emotions. “Is the space
knight so strong? I can train with it too!”
While having him play jungler was a true impossibility, the space-time
knight tended towards support. If there was a suitable line-up, then Bai Cai
really could use it. However…
It was more effective when used in the top-lane than as a pure support.
The captain’s words lingered in his mind, but they always felt like an
illusion.
In the later stages, the advantages and disadvantages of both sides became
more obvious.
Yue Wenle and Ning Zhehan were dealing enough DPS. Alright, it was
more than enough; they were practically putting their lives on the line to
deal damage.
Bai Cai also started up two team fights perfectly, accurately landing his
control skills on VIVI. Wei Xiao and Lu Feng could also deal explosive
DPS instantly but…
VIVI was able to stand back up again in the next second and use flash to
move to a safe position. He retaliated with his beams and stabbed the two
jungler kings with his beams, making the audience so angry their livers
ached.
Defeat!
FTW lost one point. Both sides were tied at 1:1.
When faced with this situation, the audience in the live broadcast room
didn’t scold FTW for once.
How should they put it…
Although they’d lost, they could see how hard the players had tried.
They wanted to flame, but couldn’t find anywhere to start from.
Even without mentioning Lu Feng and Wei Xiao. Bai Cai, Ning Zhehan,
and Yue Wenle had all played well, and let alone looking at the China
competition zone, even if they looked across the whole world, there were
very few teams who could win group fights under L&P’s rogue-like play
style.
Fortunately it was a BO5 game, and it was full-game BP.

Yuan Ze’s space knight was ‘forever hated’ after only being used once. The
entire Chinese population never wanted to see it again!
The previous flamers also felt their faces hurting. They’d thought that Yuan
Ze was trying to throw the game, but unexpectedly, they’d won the game in
such a bug-like fashion.
There was no more calling him an Oscars winner. They could only brush
out the following: “FTW is so crappy, why are they competing? They
should go back to raise pigs and farm!”
This kind of diss that had no technical content left fans too lazy to try and
reason with them. Even the moderators were too lazy to block them.
From another perspective, the haters also proved that FTW had taken no
real damage from this match. Otherwise, they would’ve already been
flamed colorfully in all sorts of ways.
The third match’s BP began. This time was different from the last match,
because the full-game BP had officially kicked in.
The talents that had been used and banned in the previous match were all
listed at the top of the screen as a reminder for the audience.
FTW had banned the shadow thief, so they could no longer ban it in this
match. The shadow thief was let out just like that.
They were able to choose first this time, and Chen Feng was hesitating over
whether to take it or not.
Letting Wei Xiao use the shadow thief in the third match left him feeling a
little flustered.
The new competition system was a bit like Tian Ji’s horse racing. The BP in
this match was no longer limited to being a problem for the individual
match. Instead, they had to consider the entire game overall. Not only did
they have to attempt to break up their opponents’ line-up in this match, they
had to consider the next game or even the game after that.
They were tied, which wasn’t good for FTW.
FTW’s momentum was soaring. It would be good if they could take the
shadow thief and take their opponents down, but if FTW’s strongest line-up
was destroyed, then the mentality of the players would collapse.
Losing two matches in a row and losing with their shadow thief line-up
would make their fourth match very difficult.
Without a trump card for the match point game, there would be too much
pressure and tension for the players.
L&P would only end up building up more momentum, making it very

possible that they would win three consecutive matches, eliminating FTW.
So…
Chen Feng took a deep breath and then chose to first pick the mid and
bottom lane talents.
No one had any opinions on this. They might have thought of Chen Feng’s
concerns or maybe they hadn’t.
In a full-game BP situation, trusting the coach was very important.
The coach was off-stage, looking at the overall situation and better able to
exercise clear judgement. Players just needed to play the best they could in
the canyon.
Since FTW released the shadow thief, L&P didn’t act polite and took it
directly. Old G started lamenting again. “What a pity we can’t take the
space-time knight again…”
The talents used in the battle of freedom wasn’t within the scope of the full-
game BP, which was why he could still use the shadow thief.
Yuan Ze took the death knight.
Old G was happy again. “We’re set for this game!”

They’d taken the same double dark system from the first match, but they
wouldn’t make the same mistake that they had in the first match again.
Underestimating the enemy was impossible. If they still didn’t take it

seriously, then they really would lose.
The live broadcast room audience had already started scolding as soon as
they saw L&P take the double dark line-up.
“FTW’s coach is stupid. If he can’t BP, then he should just get lost. This is
like letting the tiger head right back to the mountain!”
“Chen Feng is the real Oscars winner. What kind of crappy line-up is he
giving FTW? Does he want to play against the double dark with just this?”
“Don’t you have any clarity on how you won the battle of freedom? Do you
really think it’s still possible to blindly select and repeat talents in a normal
match?!”
“Without the great demon king’s shadow thief, FTW will just be strung up
and beaten by the death knight.”
“Let’s head out, let’s head out. I bet that it’ll be 3:1, with FTW stopping in
the top eight.”
There were also those who were analyzing the situation calmly. “Chen Feng
is the man behind the great demon king. He’s not that crappy.”
“Is he planning to preserve their strength and start fighting hard in the last
two matches?”
“L&P’s double dark is really strong. Not to mention FTW, even Y1 might
not be able to win.”
“Although FTW won the first match, it was also through the battle of
freedom. Under normal BP circumstances, it’s difficult to restrain the
shadow thief and death knight…”
“If they let L&P win this game, they’ll be at 2:1. Can FTW withstand the
pressure?”
“It’s still better than taking out all their best talents and losing…”
“Is giving up without a fight appropriate?”
“I feel that they should go all out since things are already like this!”
“I support Coach Chen Feng. I think he’s onto something. The full-game
BP relies on one’s brains, and I believe in him!”
“Well, if FTW loses three in a row after their first win, then I’ll go to the
base and die with him ^_^”
Regardless of how fiercely the audience argued in the scrolling comments,

the line-up had already been determined.
FTW’s side wasn’t weak, especially when it came to Ning Zhehan and Yue
Wenle. They’d gotten the ice mage and the gold hunter, so they shouldn’t
end up being suppressed.
Lu Feng was using the berserker warrior. Wei Xiao had been unable to get
the berserker thief because it had been banned, so he was using the flying
thief.
The flying thief couldn’t hold up against a beating, but it could play out
guerrilla tactics.
Chen Feng’s thoughts were clear. They couldn’t fight head on, so they
might as well go another way.
If they were able to hold up against the double dark with their operation,
then FTW had a chance of winning. If they couldn’t, then…
Chen Feng breathed in lightly.
Brother Tang comforted him. “It’s alright, we didn’t take any major losses
with the hero pool.”
Chen Feng’s expression was cold, but his heart was as tense as a taut string.
“It won’t be easy after the score becomes 2:1.”
Tang Chen was optimistic on a daily basis. “Believe in them.”
Yes, they could only believe in them.
In any case, they were worth believing in.
Despite being faced with world champions at the peak, each of his players
were fearless climbers who were unafraid of facing difficulties head-on.
They wouldn’t give up, and they wouldn’t slack off.
They would only look up at the peak and press forward!
When the game loaded, the voices in the FTW team chat were very relaxed.
Wei Xiao really wanted to ask Lu Feng about the space-time knight but…
Forget it, forget it, he’d wait a bit longer!
If the captain really could use it, they could go back and practice it, then
show it off in the next game.
Of course, they had to win against L&P first.
At the start of the third match, the even score meant that both sides had
pulled back to the same starting line. The battle for points had officially
begun!
FTW was very serious when faced with L&P’s fierce line-up.
They didn’t think about winning or losing, and focused on grasping the
moment!
L&P had warmed up from the previous matches, and they invaded the other
side’s jungle zone mercilessly right from the start.
Wei Xiao chose to switch jungle zones, but unexpectedly, AA didn’t even
go for his own lane soldiers and took shots at him from across a wall.
The flying thief had a lot of movement skills, but it didn’t have much
health. It could run quickly, but it couldn’t take damage.
In the early stages, a marksman could take down half his health with
nothing but an iron sword.
Bai Cai came over from the bottom lane to heal him, however, then they
had no choice but to let the jungle creeps go because the shadow thief was
coming over to corner them.
Getting three buffs at the start of the match was a routine operation for L&P
when they had this line-up.
Wei Xiao was suppressed, and Lu Feng was held up. Ning Zhehan and Yue
Wenle were struggling to hold up against the two lane bullies VIVI and AA,
soon falling into a dilemma between saving their own lives but losing their
tower, or saving the tower and losing their lives.
They’d all ended up collapsing in the early stages, and in the later stage, the
flying thief and berserker warrior split up to direct the lane soldiers.
They managed some good damage control, but the farm difference was too
big by then. FTW suffered an all-out collapse once the big dragon king
came out.
2:1.
Ch247.2 - Getting three
championships at eighteen, the only
one!
2:1.
Although they’d been psychologically prepared, they still sucked in a breath

of cold air when they saw it for real.
Chen Feng’s expression was pale, and his voice very low. “Did I do
something wrong?”
After letting this game go, would they really be able to win the remaining
two matches?
After avoiding L&P’s strongest line-up, could FTW win the subsequent
matches?
Having to win two match points in a row, what kind of terrible pressure was
that!
There was no need for him to look at the list of already used talents that the
system provided. Chen Feng could think of all of them in his heart.
Which ones L&P could use, which ones FTW could use.
Under the full-game BP system, each team couldn’t only have four sets of
line-ups. With both the disruption and direction from the coaches, there
were no longer that many line-ups that could be taken out and used to win,
play stably, and restrain the other team.
Besides, in the battle of freedom, FTW had used the immortal thief and
blood warrior in the second match, as well as Bai Cai’s holy priest. In the
third match, they’d used Ning Zhehan’s ice mage and Yue Wenle’s gold
hunter.
There were still many strong talents left. In the fourth match, they could use
the double thief or even the double dark…
Chen Feng had simulated countless possibilities just brainstorming on his

own.
Don’t panic. He absolutely couldn’t panic.
Focus on the overall situation. He had to give the players confidence!
Three matches had ended, and it was time for the half-time break.
Chen Feng got up and beckoned to Tang Chen. “Let’s go, we’ll check in on
them.”
Compared with the tension on Chen Feng’s side, the players who’d had two
matches snatched away were in good shape. They were laughing and
talking as they went to the backstage lounge.
They could hear Wei Xiao asking, “Captain, can you really play the space-
time knight?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes brightened. “We’ve never practiced with it in training

matches.”
Lu Feng: “The mechanism is similar to that of the divine warrior.”
The divine warrior was also a functional type top-lane talent. FTW had
practiced with it quite a few times, and it could be considered half a
support. It was very effective when used in cooperation with Wei Xiao’s
shadow thief.
The double dark system and the double thief system both focused on the
top-jungler playing together.
The divine shadow combo was another top-jungler option. One of them
would start team fights and give buffs while the other rushed in
uninhibitedly.
The former trusted the latter as they fought hard together, while the latter
was the shadow thief who handed control of his life to the divine warrior as
he dealt DPS for them both, carving out a bloody path.
There was no distinction between strength and weakness. It all depended on

the system restraints.
Wei Xiao was a bit excited. “Then, we…”
He hadn’t even finished speaking when Lu Feng dropped his gaze and said,
“We can.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
We could use the space-time knight.
Lu Feng could use the space-time knight in the next match.
Even if it was a match point game, even if they would have to pack up and
go home if they lost, Lu Feng still said that they could use it.
Close had never been a rash person. He was always calm and thoughtful.
If he said it could be used, then it meant they could win with it.
Wei Xiao’s lips curved into a smile. “Okay!”
There was no unease and no pressure. There was only complete trust.
Chen Feng, who’d heard their conversation, “…………”

Could your hearts be any bigger? Aren’t you even a little bit panicked over
the match point?!
They would stop in the top eight if they lost the match!
Chen Feng took a deep breath. “Don’t mess around.”
Chen Feng might be able to retort if someone else had said these words, but
when Lu Feng was the one speaking, Chen Feng could only say,
“…………”
Tang Chen was also stunned for a moment. “You’re really going to use the
space-time knight?”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
Tang Chen: “But…”
Lu Feng: “We can win.”
The silent backbone of FTW had actually spoken so much.
Close, who never took the initiative to ask for anything, was actually so
persistent about using a specific talent.
Chen Feng and Tang Chen both fell silent.
Wei Xiao spoke up excitedly. “Yeah, use the space-time knight!”
The three little ones were still a bit flustered. Little Ning opened his mouth
to say, “About that… will we be able to cooperate well?”
Lu Feng: “There’s no need to deliberately cooperate with me.”
These words carried more weight than all his previous words.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle didn’t feel anything, but Chen Feng and Tang
Chen felt a sourness and astringency in their hearts, which surged up and
spread out its bitterness into their throats.
No need to deliberately cooperate with him.
Close, who nobody could cooperate with, and who didn’t need others to
deliberately cooperate with him.
Chen Feng sat down on the sofa and said nothing.
He was thinking, thinking about the line-up for the space-time knight.
Why did Close insist on using a line-up that hadn’t been used in any
training matches?
A talent that his teammates weren’t familiar with – why take it out in this
match point game?
Chen Feng tried to analyze the pros and cons.
The benefits were obvious: If used well, Wei Xiao would be the freest cub
in the canyon and would be able to slaughter his way across the whole map
since the space-time knight was suited for group fights. If its ultimate move
was used well, then Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle could give better DPS
output and show off in all sorts of fancy ways with their strong talents.
The disadvantages were also clearly visible: They hadn’t practiced it before,
and it wasn’t clear if they would be able to cooperate with it. Also, Ning
Zhehan wasn’t very familiar with that talent so would he be able to react
and follow up with his skills?
––No need to deliberately cooperate with me.
This sentence from Lu Feng suddenly squeezed into Chen Feng’s brain.
The space-time knight was a talent that let him cooperate with others as he
liked.
Regardless of whether it was the shield of time or the space-time prophecy,
they were both skills that should be released in sync with his teammates’
skills.
Indeed, there was no need for his teammates to deliberately do anything.

All that was needed was the space-time knight’s own judgement.
Whether or not he understood his teammates, whether or not he was

familiar with them, whether or not he could synchronize with their skills or
even predict their combo releases in advance…
Lu Feng definitely understood Wei Xiao.
Did Lu Feng also understand Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle?
Did Close understand his teammates?
Chen Feng didn’t say anything out loud, but he felt that Lu Feng wanted to
prove something.
To whom…
Or maybe it wasn’t directed at any particular individual but rather, it was

something he wanted to tell the world…
Chen Feng gritted his teeth and swallowed. “Okay!”
They would use the space-time knight.
After resting and going back to the arena, they entered a new round of BP.
The entire venue grew agitated when FTW took out the space-time knight.
“Is this benched talent so popular now?”
“Who is using it?? Is Caicai using it?”
“It can’t be Little Lunatic Wei, right…”

Wei Xiao had done too many fantastical things so everyone could already
imagine it.
This was undoubtedly a landmine that had exploded, leaving everyone a

little confused.
This included L&P.
Old G’s expression was dumbfounded. “Who is this space knight for?”
VIVI narrowed his eyes. “It’s locked in.”
Gary spoke the truth that everyone didn’t want to believe but had to. “Is
Close using the space knight?”
Yuan Ze: “………………”
The commentators were also surprised, and Eurostar was left speechless.
Brother Mouth was very professional and quickly said, “It looks like FTW
has a new routine.”
“They’re very brave using a new tactic for their match point.” They were
also very much trying to get themselves killed!
Brother Mouth tried to continue jokingly. “This space knight can’t be for
Close, right? Hahahahaha.” Then, the face slapping came with a papapa
sound, swelling up this loyal fan’s face.
It really was Close!
It was really Close using the space knight!
In a corner beneath the stage, a man who was wearing a cap, sunglasses, a
mask, and a loose t-shirt, sighed.
If it weren’t for the tear-shaped mole, it was likely that even Li Heran
wouldn’t recognize him as his ADC.
Pro wasn’t playing, and Kim Sung-hyun’s mouth had said, “Laozi doesn’t
have time to go to the scene.” But his body was honest and had run over to
hide among the crowd of fans to watch the game.
Kim Sung-hyun had felt like he’d been stabbed with a knife when Yuan Ze
took the space-time knight.
When Close took the space-time knight, Kim Sung-hyun once again felt
like he’d been stabbed by a knife.
The proud flower’s palm-sized heart was already bleeding and dripping
blood.
No one knew that Close could use the space knight, except for Kim Sung-
hyun.
No one knew when Close had practiced the space knight, except for Kim
Sung-hyun.
On a certain day three years ago.
Close had gone out early to pick up a lost Kim Sung-hyun and bring him
back, and after returning to the base, he’d seen Yuan Ze, who’d stayed up
late in the training room.
At eight o’clock in the morning, no one except for Close was awake in
FTW.
Kim Sung-hyun had just been about to leave. He was especially unwilling
to give up Chinese food and went to buy Chinese pancakes with fruit every
morning. And then… as he walked around, he found himself f*cking unable
to find his way back to the base. What was he supposed to do about that!
Kim Sung-hyun had only bought two fruit pancakes. He hadn’t expected
Old Shit to be awake.
Kim Sung-hyun tiptoed away. “I’m leaving, don’t let him see.” There
weren’t enough pancakes for them to share.
Close: “……”
Kim Sung-hyun glared at him. “It’s delicious! Give it back if you’re not
eating it.”
Close didn’t give it back to him, but went into the training room instead.
The door wasn’t closed tightly. Yuan Ze, who had his back facing the door
to the training room, cursed through his headphones. “So what if I’m
playing the space knight?”
Close’s footsteps stopped.
Yuan Ze was on voice chat in his double queue. “What the hell do you
know, other than Laozi, who else can cooperate with that stinky boy?”
Yuan Ze’s voice was a bit nasty. “… Getting three championships at

eighteen, it’s an honor only one person has earned!”
The author has something to say: Eighteen years old… QAQ

Ch248.1 - Not living up to three
championships at eighteen.
When the next season came around, the only 18 year old left would be
Close.
Getting three championships at eighteen could only refer to Close.
Yuan Ze wanted to team up with Close to win the global doubles.
Both Close and Kim Sung-hyun froze outside the door.
The door was open, but he didn’t know how to go in. After hearing these
words, he didn’t even know how to respond.
However, the pancake’s fragrance was pervasive and drifted straight into
the training room. Although Yuan Ze couldn’t hear anything from outside
with the headphones on, his nose was very sharp. One sniff was enough for
him to identify a certain someone who was addicted to Chinese food and
almost wished he could eat himself into becoming a two hundred pound
fatty proud flower in the last half month of his stay here.
It was like ghosts and gods were at play. Just as Yuan Ze turned his head
back, Close stuffed the fruit pancake that was in his hands at Kim Sung-
hyun and left for the training room next door.
Proud Flower Kim: “……”
Yuan Ze poked his head out to look at him. “Eating two on your own,
you’re really capable.”
Kim Sung-hyun glanced in the direction of the neighboring door out of the
corner of his eyes, which Yuan Ze caught keenly. “Is Close back from his
morning run?”
Kim Sung-hyun sighed. “No.”
Yuan Ze looked visibly relieved. He took a fruit pancake and asked, “Did
you add eggs?”
“Five.”
“You might as well be eating a fruit omelette!”
“There are such things as fruit omelettes????”
“Yeah, with fried fruit.”
The two of them were just outside the door. Close could hear them clearly
from the next room.
He looked straight at the computer screen in front of him: There was

nothing there but a customized icon with their team logo, because FTW had
won the world championships. At the bottom of the icon was a tiny F,
which signified the highest honor for the championship team. Although it
only lasted for ten days, it was enough to show the whole world who the
real global champions were.
Close’s eyelashes quivered slightly, and the corners of his lips curved
gently.
He who didn’t smile often was deadly when he smiled.
Kim Sung-hyun didn’t expose Yuan Ze, and he didn’t expose Close.
He felt a little sour. In his early years, Yuan Ze had never thought of
practicing with the space knight for him. Of course, one of them was on the
top lane while the other was on the bottom lane, and they were the furthest
distance away from each other in the canyon. Practicing it would have been
useless as they didn’t have any reason to cooperate together.
He might feel sour, but he also felt pleased.

He was leaving, but his teammates were becoming more united. He felt a
lot more at ease.
Later on, Kim Sung-hyun discovered that Close was also secretly practicing
the space knight.
He pushed back in his e-sports chair, chewing on a sesame ball as he looked

at Close. “What are you practicing with this for?”
Close: “Getting familiar with it.”
Close continued calmly. “Otherwise, I won’t know how to cooperate.”
Alright, then. It was indeed their Old Shit and Lulu.
One was awkward; the other was proud. The two of them would rather die
than go and double queue directly, but did they have to familiarise
themselves like this!
There was no need for Close to practice the space knight. He played jungler
in the Team of Gods and would remain in the jungler position even in the
doubles.
However, he was very serious about training with the space knight. He
learned and developed a clear understanding of all its skills, mechanisms,
combos, and the details involved in its operations.
It wasn’t so that he could use it himself but rather so that he wouldn’t be

unfamiliar with it when Yuan Ze used it.
Kim Sung-hyun made himself jealous all over again.
Sour, he felt really sour.
When faced with such a talented youth, who wouldn’t f*cking feel sour!
No one knew that the FTW’s proud top laner and jungler had practiced with
the same support talent but never had the opportunity to make use of it.
After Kim Sung-hyun left, the senior management of the club listed all of
the FTW starters.
There was a transfer period in the league, but reasonably speaking, there
was no need to list players if they had no intention to complete any
transfers.
The management attempted to comfort them. “It’s just a formality.”
But none of them were fools.
Just going through the motions?
Who were they looking down on?
Yan Jiang, Xie He, Yuan Ze, and Close, which one of them wasn’t a peak,
god-level player?
Other teams couldn’t covet them if they weren’t listed, but once they were
listed, they would be fought over even drawing sky high prices.
What’s more, this was the post-globals transfer period, which meant players
could be transferred across competition zones!
Could such a listing be called ‘going through the motions’? Was FTW’s
management stupid or were they treating players as stupid!
The eighteen year old triple champion dream.
Came to an end in the face of this cruel reality.
How could Kim Sung-hyun’s mood not collapse when he recalled these
things as he watched these two take out the space-time knight?
It had been a destined parting, and there was no need to think back too
much on these things.
After confirming the transfer, Yuan Ze’s last sentence to Close was: “We
aren’t suited to being teammates. It’s good being opponents; I’ve wanted to
play against you for a long time.”
If there hadn’t been that time with the space-time knight, then Close might
have taken him seriously and thought that Yuan Ze was more interested in
competing against him.
Now…
Close replied quietly, “Mm.”
Chen Feng had once asked Close: “Do you regret buying an empty FTW?”
Close had shaken his head. “No.”
Even if he had split up completely with his family, even if they’d

thoroughly torn up any illusions of familial affection, even if he only had
four short years, even if he became a puppet in the hands of the people he
hated the most, and even his shoulder, as a professional players’ highly
valued asset, was injured…
Close had no regrets.
He had wanted to protect FTW.
Protect their FTW.
Yuan Ze was stunned for a long time when he saw Close using the space-
time knight. He remained so until Gary shouted to him. “Captain, let’s get a
double kill?”
Yuan Ze breathed in lightly. “Okay.” His voice was a little hoarse.
Old G looked careless and casual, but in fact, he wasn’t quite that dense. He
looked at Yuan Ze out of the corner of his eye and said discreetly, “Have
you seen Close’s space knight before?”
Yuan Ze raised his eyebrows, his voice quiet. “No.”

Gary didn’t dare ask any more questions.
FTW was very fierce when it came to their match point. Chen Feng didn’t
leave any strength on the table and went for all the talents he could win for
FTW.
They got the berserker thief for their jungler, the mid-lane was the immortal
warlock, and they had the storm hunter for their marksman. For support,
they’d taken the medicine warlock which would be a good match for their
top laner.
When faced with such a support talent that required a high level of
operation, Brother Cai quivered and sat up straight.
The audience was relieved and scolded Chen Feng a lot less when they saw
this line-up.
Although he’d thrown away the third match, he’d managed to accumulate
enough strong talents in the fourth match.
There was no need to mention the berserker thief. L&P couldn’t ban it, and
they couldn’t snatch it up. It was clearly gift-wrapped for FTW.
As for the immortal warlock and storm hunter, they’d banned them before.
Although they hadn’t used them yet, FTW was able to snatch them up first,
and they hadn’t planned to take them just to prevent the other side from
getting them.
Other than Close’s space-time knight, FTW’s remaining four talents

belonged to one of their super line-ups.
These talents were also well-acknowledged as strong talents in today’s

professional arena.
One fan worried. “How’s Caicai’s medicine warlock?”
“It’s good, it’s good! I’ve experienced it before in ranked games, it’s really
not bad!”
“I remember that Brother Cai used it before, he did a godly operation and
took away Kim Sung-hyun’s life. It’s very domineering.”
“Holy shit, that happened? Isn’t our vegetable a salted fish?”
“Salted fish can change too, not to mention with Little Lunatic Wei
around!”
“I just want to quietly say that I’m very concerned about the great demon
king’s space-time knight.”
“What are you afraid of! Maybe it’ll be as strangely powerful as Little
Lunatic Wei’s soul warlock!”
“Well… As everyone knows, the great demon king isn’t very good at
cooperating with his teammates…”
The fans couldn’t be blamed for their negative speculations. Regardless of

whether it was during the Team of Gods period or even the later FTW,
Close would always be known as the great demon king of the singles. He
was number one for solo, but his ability to cooperate was non-existent. He
would either win the game by playing one against nine or just lose, lose and
lose.
One year, plus three years, then the recent half a year. It was a career that
had already spanned nearly five years, which was enough to shape a player.
So, was this really all there was to Close?
Wei Xiao was very spirited. “Captain!”
He wanted to go into the other side’s jungle too. He wanted to bully Gary
and Yuan Ze the way they’d bullied him before.
Lu Feng replied, “Okay.”
Wei Xiao’s smile was like the sun coming out. It was fortunate that the
camera wasn’t focused on them, because if it had, then all the mama,
girlfriend, husband, and wife fans would all start screaming endlessly again.
It was funny to consider this actually. This was clearly FTW’s match point
game, and they would stop at the top eight if they lost this match. They
were only one step away from being eliminated, but they didn’t cower at
all. They played like it was the first match, and their state was similar to
how they’d been during the battle of freedom. They were letting themselves
go, like they weren’t scared of being eliminated at all.
Were they really not afraid?
They were all human, how could they not be afraid.
Even without mentioning the three little ones, even Wei Xiao was a bit
scared.
They couldn’t lose and didn’t dare to lose.
Victory was the only option!
Rebounding from the bottom. Perhaps this belief was too strong, but it
worked to suppress the tension and uneasiness among them. All their
emotions were mobilized, and the only thing they could see was the crystal
on the other side.
Blow it up, defeat the opponent, and win!
Wei Xiao had a character where his mood could easily infect others. When
he burned with passion, his teammates would follow him into a state of
fearlessness.
They just had to fight and be done with it. There was no point thinking
about all those other messy things!
Wei Xiao manipulated the berserker thief and charged straight into L&P’s
top jungle zone.
Reasonably speaking, the blood thief and blood warrior were strong in the
early stages. The berserker thief wasn’t weak, but the space knight didn’t
have its ultimate move. With this in mind, they should avoid fighting, but
Wei Xiao wasn’t afraid.
Even if the space knight didn’t have its ultimate move, it still had a shield.
After seeing Yuan Ze’s time shield, he believed that his captain’s shield
could only ever be stronger!
It wasn’t possible to say that nobody was interested in seeing Close’s space
knight.
In fact, their fans were both worried and nervous, afraid that FTW would
overturn but still watching carefully through their fingers and hoping to see
a different great demon king, praying that they could see him show off with
any talent.
Close didn’t disappoint.
The berserker thief threw its scythe at the red buff, and Gary, who’d
decided to start with the red buff, felt his heart collapse. “Little Lunatic
Wei’s here.”
Yuan Ze was in a bit of a confused state at the start. He adjusted his mood,
then said, “Fight.”
What was there to be afraid of? The blood thief and blood warrior who
were strong in the early stages weren’t afraid of any 2v2 fights.
Wei Xiao still remembered how Old G had played with his blue buff. This
time, he would play around properly with… Gary!
That’s right, what was the point in playing with the red daddy? He shot his
scythe out with the intent to kill!
The berserker thief was one of the talents that Wei Xiao was best at.
If their inherited shadow thief had an aura, then this talent also carried
another aura of its own.
It could be said that Wei Xiao might hold back a bit when he was playing
the shadow thief, but he became a real and genuine little lunatic in the
canyon when he had the berserker thief on hand.
The audience had also noticed it. “Although there’s nothing to criticize
about Wei Xiao’s shadow thief, his entire temperament is obviously more
suited to the berserker thief.”
“He was already crazy enough, but with this crazy talent, yeah… it’s not
even human anymore!”
“What are you trying to imply, when did Little Lunatic Wei ever act
human?”
The conversation in the live broadcast room took increasingly strange turns,
and if passers-by were to see it, they would all wonder, “Holy shit, isn’t the
score 2:1? It’s the match point, if they lose again they’ll have to pack up
and go home. Why is everyone so excited?”
Don’t ask, if you ask, then it’s because Little Lunatic Wei’s too excited!
Wei Xiao really locked in on Old G with his scythe.
Gary sucked in a breath and used his two movement skills to try and pull
away. Wei Xiao had guessed what he would do early on and moved first,
accurately neutralizing his skill.
Yuan Ze: “It’s fine.” His blood cut and basic attack flew towards Wei Xiao
at the same time. This wave of damage smashed down, sending the
berserker thief to half health.
Wei Xiao didn’t even try to avoid it. He was both calm and crazy as he
focused on Gary.
There was no need to dodge. The space-time knight had unlocked his
second skill right off the bat and a shield dropped down from the sky,
covering the berserker thief’s body.
The defensive shield switched to a reflective shield, blocking the blood cut
and sending the basic attack back to the blood warrior.
Special effects burst out. By the time the shield fell, Yuan Ze and Wei Xiao
had lost the same amount of health!
The berserker thief ignored the blood warrior behind him and pulled his
scythe back, landing basic attacks one after another on the blood thief that
he’d pulled over.
Gary was an old berserker thief player too. He naturally understood this
move. “Why does it hurt so much!”
He pulled open the equipment panel and took a look. Okay, okay, okay,
Little Lunatic Wei, you’re really capable. As a lofty jungler, you didn’t take
the jungler knife and bought an iron sword instead.
Ch248.2 - It’s all right.
It might only be 20 additional attack points, but in the early stages when the
squishy talents were as crispy as roast duck skin, even two additional attack
points were enough to poke through this crispy skin and swallow them
down in one bite!
Yuan Ze remained silent as he blocked Wei Xiao’s retreat. It was clear that
he wanted to force him to remain behind.
Old G was barely managing to stay alive. He’d considered that Wei Xiao
might enter his jungle zone when the game started, so he’d gotten his
second skill, feather transform. The feather transform was flexible, but it
couldn’t deal damage. It wasn’t as useful as his first skill’s forced control.
He’d originally thought that he could find a way to escape with his life, but
unexpectedly, Wei Xiao was so excessively determined to kill people that
he hadn’t even bothered with the jungler knife!
FTW.Quiet killed L&P.Gary!
Wei Xiao took First Blood!
Commentator Brother Mouth’s voice was excited as he let out a long stream
of praise. Eurostar’s eyes were bright as well, and although he couldn’t find
a chance to speak, his expression was filled with worship and excitement.
He’d already been a brainless grandmaster fan, but now he was even more
eager to blow out rainbow farts and build a rainbow bridge for the
grandmaster!
Wei Xiao had indeed played well.

One had to consider who he was facing.
Last year’s runner-up team’s jungler king, last year’s singles competition
runner-up, and one of the pillars of the new generation.
Not Old G, but God G.
In a match point game, with them in a precarious situation, he’d gone into
the other side’s jungle zone and taken First Blood. Without mentioning
anything else, this wave of actions by Wei Xiao had definitely increased
their team morale.
He used practical actions to make his teammates blood boil with passion!
Old G fell to the ground, but Yuan Ze didn’t have any intentions of letting
Wei Xiao go.
They’d lost First Blood, but Wei Xiao shouldn’t even think about leaving
their jungle zone with his life.
Yuan Ze steadied himself. The cooldown on his skills were over. He sent
out another blood cut toward Wei Xiao, and in that moment, the shield of
time and space landed on Wei Xiao again.
Wei Xiao, who’d reached level two after taking a kill, didn’t mean to retreat
at all. He stared at this silver shield and tossed his scythe out at Yuan Ze.
The commentators were surprised. “Does he want to take a double kill?”

This would really be a godly start to the game!
And the ones he wanted to kill were Yuan Ze and Gary, which was
equivalent to breaking L&P’s arms!
Yuan Ze’s eyes were sharp. It only took one glance for him to see Lu Feng’s
familiarity with the space-time knight.
His throat felt like there was a thorn stuck in it. He couldn’t pull it out, and
he couldn’t swallow it down, leaving a sharp pain in his throat.
Why did Close know how to play the space-time knight?
Had he started practicing recently?
No…
L&P and FTW had basically been practicing together all the time recently.
How would Close have had the time to train with this…
Then…
If he didn’t understand Close, then Yuan Ze wouldn’t be so shocked.
It was because he knew some of his habits that his thoughts drifted
towards…
It couldn’t have been three years ago, right.
It definitely couldn’t have been three years ago.
Was it really not…
Yuan Ze knew that Close would practice his teammates’ talents in order to
cooperate better with his teammates.
This so-called ability to copy was all lonely sweat and hard work.
The shield of space and time required subtle manipulation to switch back
and forth. The defensive shield and damage reflect shield were used to
extremes, resisting damage while highlighting DPS opportunities, doing its
best to suppress Yuan Ze’s health.
Yuan Ze didn’t aim for the space-time knight and only focused on Wei
Xiao.
Wei Xiao’s health plummeted, but the words from his mouth were easy and
jovial. “Is Teacher Yuan angry because I killed his Baby G?”
It was fortunate that Gary couldn’t hear FTW’s team chat, because he
might’ve fainted from anger had he heard it.
What was this!
Did he f*cking deserve to be called a big baby!
Oh…
Old G’s key point seemed to have touched onto something.
Describing the situation was wordy, but in actuality, everything happened

quickly. It only took about five or six seconds, but the berserker thief and
the blood warrior were both left seriously injured at the same time.
At the end of the day, Yuan Ze was still a bit more experienced. He
launched another attack, insisting on killing off Little Lunatic Wei.
Wei Xiao fell to the ground, but he didn’t panic because he could see the
mine hovering over the blood warrior’s head.
Yuan Ze killed Wei Xiao.
He stood there motionless, badly injured with only a sliver of health left.
The space-time knight didn’t move, either.
The two of them were separated by a layer of bushes, and it was as though
they gazed at each other for a fraction of a second.
There was a bang.
The mine exploded, and the system announcement rang out––
FTW.Close killed L&P.Marshal!
FTW had traded one for two, and they’d also taken First Blood and the red
buff. They earned a lot and lost nothing!
The space-time knight’s DPS was low in the early stages. Close didn’t
remain in the other side’s jungle and instead went on to the top lane to
stabilize his lane soldiers.
Resurrection was quick in the early stages. It only took a few seconds
before Wei Xiao returned to his jungle zone and started on his first round of
clearing the jungle.
The director focused the camera on the top lane more often.
The space-time knight was obviously unable to beat the blood warrior when
they faced off across the lane, and it was also unclear what kind of drug
Yuan Ze had taken, but he played extremely fiercely. That silent
appearance, with those black eyes staring at the screen, made even the
champion earring in his left ear seem a few degrees colder.
Old G didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. At this moment, he seemed to

have returned to two years ago in his dreams, back to the time when he had
to hold his breath and win the championship no matter what.
Let alone his teammates, even the audience could see it.
“Yuan Ze’s murderous intent is really heavy.”
“Holy shit, he’s really not leaving any mercy at all. He clearly knows that
Lulu’s space knight is weak in the early stages, but he’s bullying him so
much!”
“Little lunatic, hurry and go save your captain. Your captain is going to be
bullied into tears by Old Bandit Yuan!”
Wei Xiao didn’t go up to the top lane often. When faced with the space-time
knight that was being ‘beaten up’ by Yuan Ze, he chose to set fires in the
mid and bottom lanes instead.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go, but that Lu Feng had said, “No need to
come.”
So, Wei Xiao didn’t go.

Only Lu Feng and Yuan Ze were in the top lane.
The space-time knight that glowed with a faint silver light was beaten back
step by step by the blood warrior with its blood warrior red eyes.
He lost his lane soldiers, and his health was slowly ground down. Although
he hadn’t been killed, it was clearly a one-sided suppression.
Gary also didn’t go to the top lane to provide support for once. It wasn’t
that he didn’t want to go, but that Yuan Ze didn’t let him come over.
It wasn’t clear if Yuan Ze didn’t let Gary come because he wanted to solo
with Lu Feng or if it was because L&P’s mid and bottom lane had been
ganked so thoroughly by Wei Xiao that they needed Gary’s support.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes…
Yuan Ze killed the space-time knight, and the health on the top lane’s
defense tower was ground down by a quarter.
The audience began to panic. They began to grow nervous and fearful, and
they didn’t quite dare to continue watching.
Although FTW’s mid and bottom lanes were blooming beautifully and the
berserker thief’s rhythm was practically flying, the top lane…
The indestructible top lane, the top lane that no one could push through
with the Close who no one could hold up again, was being crushed into a
sorry state!
Even if they knew that it was a natural talent restraint, even if they knew
that Yuan Ze was holding nothing back, even if they knew that the space-
time knight was useless without its teammates, they were all still worried.
They didn’t want to watch this kind of scene, didn’t want to see this kind of
unspeakable suffering and grievance being played out.
The one who had the most difficult time watching wasn’t the fans, but
rather, it was Kim Sung-hyun.
He, who knew everything, seemed to be standing immersed in the canyon,

and it was as though he’d gone back to three years ago: He could see the
door, see Yuan Ze through the door, see Lu Feng standing outside the door,
both with the same space-time knight.
The rims of his eyes were red, and he was glad that he was wearing glasses,
a mask, and a cap.
FTW’s top-lane tower fell. Yuan Ze closed his eyes and said, “Gary.”
Old G: “Got it!”
This was L&P’s routine. They would smash down the top lane, tear open a
crack, and end the game!
Yuan Ze left the top lane and began to target the other lanes.
At the same time, Lu Feng said quietly, “Switch lanes.”
Yue Wenle responded, “Okay!”
Yuan Ze arrived at the mid-lane. He tossed out a set of skills at the immortal
warlock, and Wei Xiao’s scythe flew out. At the same time, their support
medicine warlock and his captain’s space-time knight also arrived.
It was a 4v4 in the mid-lane. There wasn’t even the slightest pause before
both sides blasted out full firepower!
The blood thief and blood warrior’s attack effects were very similar. The
former had raven feathers in the sky, absorbing blood wherever it went,
while the latter was a fierce, fresh blood color that rushed through the skies
with a dark red blade that left hot blood gushing in its wake!
The immortal warlock’s clouds and fog billowed, the spirit mage was
surrounded by blue spirits, and the elemental shaman’s totems were
everywhere. The medicine warlock danced on a steel wire and dealt huge
amounts of damage…
There was also the berserker thief with his flamboyant red hair, snow-white
face, and the bright red corners of his mouth as his bloodthirsty scythe
locked in on his prey!
Skills flew everywhere, dealing explosive damage.
This rapidly changing battle situation was dazzling!
The blood thief and blood warrior started up their ultimate moves at the
same time, using their damage immunity and high blood sucking ability to
resist the immortal warlock’s thousand layers of clouds!
The medicine warlock moved accurately and avoided the damage, changing
from DPS to healing and maintaining his teammates’ health!
The elemental shaman threw down totems for his teammates like mad,
giving out attack speed and healing, but he was a bit too late when he
attempted a resurrection totem. That was alright, though, because as long as
they could deal enough damage, they could win the team fight!
L&P’s damage was indeed enough!
When the raven feathers fell to the ground, there was a burst of sound as the
spirit mage’s control landed on three people. This was accompanied by the
blood warrior’s blood cut and three enhanced basic attacks. Damage
exploded on the spot, causing the medicine warlock’s skills to land on
nothing but empty air, leaving him with no way to heal!
Did the four from FTW topple?
No!
They were only left with a sliver of health, and they were all seriously
injured, but they didn’t fall!
That crisp sounding tick rang out again.
It was the whispering of the hand of time heading towards the end, turning
time back by two seconds.
There were no words, no other sound. There was no need to say anything.
At this moment, the immortal warlock went back to two minutes ago and
brushed out another thousand layers of clouds. The berserker thief’s scythe
locked in on three people from the other team at the same time, and the
medicine warlock activated all his skills. Green swept across the area,
shrouding his teammates and bringing their seriously injured health bars
back to a healthy light red.
FTW wasn’t the team that thoroughly exploded. It was L&P!
The space-time knight’s ultimate move was given at the most essential
moment, and FTW was able to play out the most perfect level of
cooperation!
The venue exploded, and the audience in the live broadcast studio went
crazy. Old fans burst out into tears.
Who said that Close couldn’t cooperate?
Who said that Close had no teammates?
Who said that FTW only had Close?
No!
FTW had long since been reborn!
The fallen Yuan Ze was stunned.
The space-time knight on the screen was a stranger to him and so was
Close.
But it was also inexplicably familiar. Very, very familiar.

“We aren’t suited to being teammates. It’s good being opponents; I’ve
wanted to play against you for a long time.”
––I’m sorry I can’t be your teammate; I’m sorry I can’t accompany you in
the doubles. I’m sorry, eighteen year old triple champion.
“Mm.”
––It’s all right.

Ch249.1 - Withdraw!
FTW’s tactics were very interesting. Even Chen Feng, who was off-stage,
was surprised.
They hadn’t practiced this line-up, and Lu Feng had never taken out his
space-time knight during practice either, but they were still able to achieve
amazing results.
When the space-time knight joined the team fights, Yue Wenle became the
one escorting the lane soldiers.
Yue Wenle’s storm hunter wasn’t very useful for dealing damage in team
fights. When he used his talent to the extreme, he was flexible and could
move around at high speeds, and he could work miracles when he split off
from the main group.
There was no way for Chen Feng to think about how they were
communicating. He could only look at how the match was progressing and
be pleased with the team’s rapid growth.
The space-time knight was able to cooperate perfectly with Wei Xiao,
match perfectly with Ning Zhehan, and even play out a beautiful combo
with the medicine warlock.
When it came to Wei Xiao and Ning Zhehan, Lu Feng’s shields and
ultimate moves were always released on time, allowing them to release
their core skills repeatedly.
Lu Feng and Bai Cai’s combo could be called the most critical part of the
whole scene. He basically didn’t use his ultimate move to bring back the
dead. Instead, he gave everyone’s skill cooldowns back to them at the most
precarious moments. Bai Cai also showed himself to be a qualified
medicine warlock, controlling his teammates’ health bars as they
plummeted and rose back up like a rollercoaster, ensuring that they never
ran out.
It was unknown what the mood was like in the canyon, but the audience
watching the game felt like their hearts were about to jump right out of their
chests.
“F*ck, f*ck, f*ck me! It connected! Their skills were seamlessly connected
once again!”
“The space-time knight is working miracles with the medicine warlock!”
“I’ve seen double support before, but I’ve never seen such an arrogant
double support!”
“The great demon king lives up to his name, he’s still the daddy of the
whole scene even when playing a support talent!”
“Who said Close is an orphan player?”
“Who said that the great demon king can’t cooperate?”
A whole series of questions appeared on the live broadcast screen. The die-
hard fans couldn’t even type properly because they were crying so hard it
was difficult to breathe.
Close wasn’t an orphan player.
The great demon king was able to cooperate.
It was just that no one had ever given him a chance.
Three years ago, the Team of Gods hadn’t needed it. His fellow brothers
were too strong, and they could become the world champions of the team
competition by playing however they liked.
In the past three years, Close had tried everything he could when faced with
the empty FTW.
Cooperating, controlling the arena, snatching up the rhythm like a tyrant…
As long as they could win, he could do anything.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to cooperate, but who was he supposed to

cooperate with?
The team needed him to fight one against five.
The club needed him to hold up the skies for it.
The fans were waiting for him to create the myth of a lone hero.
Over time, how could he still remember what cooperating was?
He was too used to having to bear all the burdens on his own. How could he
trust others?
No one thought about these things, and no one cared.
The darkness behind the brilliance had always been ignored.
Only Wei Xiao had managed to break in.
He trod through the mud, slipped past the stains, and lit up the lonely and
cold darkness, having found the real Close.
That strong yet gentle Close, the cold yet detailed Close whose silences
contained all kind of passionate emotions.
In the first wave of encounters in the jungle zone, the four people from
FTW surrounded and suppressed L&P’s top-laner, jungler, and support with
the speed increase given by their double supports.
Skills flew all over the sky, and the damage dealt exploded. Yuan Ze, Gary,
and Mo seemed to be like drops of water hitting magma, evaporating into
nothing instantly.
Wei Xiao got rich from being fed a triple kill, and FTW’s momentum
soared like a rainbow!
Yuan Ze fell to the ground and stared at the darkened screen.
The situation in the canyon was disadvantageous, but it seemed like a

window had opened up in his heart, letting in endless rays of warm
sunshine.
Bit by bit, drop by drop… The distant past echoed in his mind, coated in a
golden light.
A long drawn curtain faded, and everything seemed to shine bright.
Yuan Ze had been infuriated when Yan Jiang signed the transfer agreement.
He ran over to question him. “Are you just going to disregard Close like
this?”
Yan Jiang looked calm; his pair of black eyes seemed untouched by the
world. “What do you want me to do?”
Yuan Ze had been left speechless.
Yan Jiang paused for a moment, then ultimately said this: “You know, Lu
Feng…”
Normally when they were at the base, they all called him Close and almost
never used his real name.
Others were addressed by their names except for Lu Feng… This was
something they’d tacitly agreed because they’d all more or less guessed at
Lu Feng’s background. After all, they were all living in S City.
Yuan Ze clenched his fists. “Since you know, why do you have to go?”
Knowing that Lu Feng was trying to save FTW, why did he insist on
leaving?
Yan Jiang frowned. “If he has a good relationship with his family, then why
would he spend New Year’s Eve at the base?”
Yuan Ze: “…………”
Yan Jiang: “Stop dreaming, he can’t do it.”
No matter what, Yuan Ze was still unwilling to accept it. “But if he can…”
Yan Jiang’s eyebrows shot up, and he stared at him. “Don’t give him the
chance to do it.”
Yuan Ze’s heart clenched as he understood the meaning behind these words.
After getting along together day and night for over a year, it was impossible
for the five of them to say that they weren’t familiar with each other.
No matter what the outside world said about them being at odds, fighting,
or even hostile to each other.
Only they understood each other.
Why had the Lu Family’s child come to play professionally?
Why did Lu Feng’s family turn a blind eye towards him?
Why did Lu Feng hide at the base on his own on all holidays?
Why didn’t Lu Feng receive a call from his parents for his birthday?
Could a young Lu Feng who was like this be able to convince his parents to
buy the club?
Even if he was successful, what price would he have to pay?
If that family was like hell, then how could his teammates push him into
hell?
Yan Jiang shifted his gaze away and finished what he was saying before.
“It’s not worth it.”
Yuan Ze froze on the spot.
Yeah.
It wasn’t worth it.
They’d only gotten along together for a year, and it wasn’t worth having
him pay out so much for them.
Little Close was still underage, while they were already adults.
Adults shouldn’t dream.
Yan Jiang took Xie He to Europe, Yuan Ze went to North America, and
Kim Sung-hyun went back to South Korea.
Of the five starters, only Close was left.
When Yuan Ze learned that Close had bought FTW, he didn’t sleep for three
days and three nights.
Smoke filled his room. He was immersed in all the smoke, but he couldn’t
get rid of the haze he’d fallen into.
Pain, regret, guilt.
Even deeper was the remorse.
Why did Close insist on buying FTW even after they’d all left?
Why was this child so silly?
Unfortunately, time couldn’t be reversed. What they’d left Close with was
the worst possible result.
In the first year, FTW stopped at the top eight in the world.
In the second year, FTW fell in the elimination matches.
In the third year, FTW didn’t even qualify for the finals.
Each year was worse than the previous year. The words that Yuan Ze had
suppressed were almost blurted out: “Is it worth it?”
Lu Feng, is it worth it!
Regret?
Lu Feng, do you regret it?!
Hate?
Close, do you hate us?
After learning that Lu Feng’s shoulder injury was due to trauma and that it
was an old illness from three years ago, Yuan Ze had almost been
overwhelmed by self blame.
If they hadn’t left or even if he was the only one who had stayed, then
would it be… would it be…
What was the point of any ‘what ifs’…
The space-time knight could reverse time.
But they couldn’t.
Looking back at his tacit understanding with his teammates in the canyon
and watching Wei Xiao take a triple kill with the space knight’s protection,
Yuan Ze finally felt a trace of relief.
During the past three years, he’d felt endless amounts of guilt and had been
afraid that he’d destroyed Close.
Now, Close was using the competition to tell him that he was doing great.
He had new teammates, a new FTW, and he was a new Close.
It was all good.
Yuan Ze breathed in lightly, manipulated the blood warrior, and went forth
to welcome this new FTW!
***
Wei Xiao and Lu Feng pushed their skills to the extreme in the last team
fight. The berserker thief entered the fight with his scythe, locking in
VIVI’s spirit mage right away. Reasonably speaking, it was difficult for the
spirit mage to be controlled, but Wei Xiao managed to lock onto him,
pulling him back and tossing the spirit mage straight into the mobs.
The immortal warlock took advantage of how he’d been sent flying to brush
out an arrogant and domineering thousand layers of clouds.
VIVi gritted his teeth and tried to avoid the skills, going all out to play out a
strong control skill, in hope of creating an opportunity for his teammates.
Yuan Ze and Gary followed after him quickly, dealing overwhelming

damage onto Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle.
While Bai Cai couldn’t stop their sudden advance, he launched his skills
very stably, maximizing the amount of healing by keeping any excess hp
healed close to nothing, forcibly protecting their health bars.
At the same time, Wei Xiao entered the fray again. With the shield that the
space-time knight had given him, he took away VIVI’s life with his scythe.
After refreshing his skills, he sent out another scythe and locked in on Gary.
Gary hadn’t felt this kind of chill run down his back for a long time.
“F*ck!”
There was no way for him to run. Years of experience had already given
him the answer: there was absolutely no escape!
At this critical moment, the blood warrior used his ultimate move and stood
in front of him.
Gary: “!”
Yuan Ze: “Withdraw!”

Ch249.2 - The past was but a
moment, but the present would last
for eternity.
The berserker thief’s scythe could be blocked by obstacles. For example,

although he’d locked in on Gary, the scythe couldn’t be pulled back with
Yuan Ze blocking the way.
Wei Xiao simply rushed in. He couldn’t fight against the blood warrior who
had his ultimate move active, but after he approached the pile of L&P
players, the rest of them could all be targets!
This scene almost caused the live broadcast room to explode. “Holy shit, is
he so crazy?!”
“Little Lunatic Wei must be the only player who doesn’t treat L&P’s
starters like professional players.”
“Damn, how much confidence did the shield of space and time give him?
Can it hold up…”
“The great demon king kept up with him!”
The space-time knight couldn’t deal high damage, but he had amazingly
high defense. The silver light around him glowed more brightly the more
tanky he was. He could take a lot of damage in Wei Xiao’s stead by pushing
himself into the fray.
Although Bai Cai couldn’t heal Wei Xiao, it wouldn’t be a big problem as
long as he could keep Yue Wenle and Ning Zhehan alive!
Wei Xiao really didn’t concern himself with anything else as he went in,
acting as though there were thousands of troops and horses backing him up
and that his charge would lead millions of troops after him.
Without mentioning anything else, just his momentum was absolutely

stunning.
His ‘millions of troops’ was just a single space-time knight, but this space-
time knight really had the same power as thousands of troops!
Absolute trust, unreserved belief. While everyone else was panicking, the
berserker thief who’d entered a berserk state ignored everything else and
focused only on dealing DPS!
His health fell to a sliver where he would topple and die if even a basic
attack hit him. However, the berserker thief didn’t fret and continued to
work on clearing the resurrection armors from the other side.
Space-time prophecy lit up, and the fallen berserker thief stood back up
again. He single-handedly disrupted L&P’s formation and left them in a
mess.
System announcements rang out frequently.
Double kill.
Triple kill.
Quadrakill…
When only Yuan Ze was left from L&P, no one dared to breathe.
Was it going to be a pentakill?
In the global arena, in the eight to four games, was Little Lunatic Wei going
to take a pentakill?
In addition, it was a match point game, and it was against the seed team
L&P that contained Glory’s strongest top-jungler combo?
FTW.Quiet pentakill!
The entire audience jumped to their feet, clapping until their hands were left
swollen. The excited little brothers and sisters all hugged each other and
screamed endlessly.
Explosive!
It was really explosive!
Getting a pentakill and winning the match point, this was a performance
brilliant enough to light up the world!
2:2.
FTW evened out the score and the two sides were ushered into the deciding
match.
When FTW had exploded the other side’s crystal, everyone, including the
salted fish vegetable, had felt a tingling sensation in their scalps.
In fact, in the second half of the match, they’d already long forgotten where
they were, forgotten their surroundings, and forgotten that they were on the
stage of the global competition.
What competition? What L&P? What champions from the previous year,
last year’s runner-up…
None of it mattered.
Fight! Play! Win!
They were completely immersed in the canyon, fully integrated with their
teammates as they revelled in the all-encompassing feelings of the fight!
Little Ning sucked in a breath, his fingers still trembling. He said, “I…
didn’t think of the captain.”
Wei Xiao glared at him as soon as these words came out. “What are you
thinking about the captain for?”
Little Ning was so simple minded that he didn’t realize what he was saying
at all. “Really, I didn’t feel the captain’s presence at all in this game!”
Brother Cai came back to himself. “……”
Damn it, Little Ning, what kind of fierce words were you saying!
Wei Xiao was huffing with anger.
Little Ning blinked. “Didn’t you guys feel the same? It’s just that before,
before… I always had to worry about the captain, and I always felt…
um…” He felt embarrassed saying it, so Yue Wenle helped him add,
“Pressured.”
Yes, pressure that came from Close, that came from the great demon king’s
reign.
They were afraid of making mistakes, afraid they couldn’t keep up, and
afraid that they’d drag everyone back.
But they hadn’t felt that way in this match.
When these words fell, even Brother Cai was left stunned.
That really was the case…
He’d been with Lu Feng for so long, and as a support, he was cautious and
tentative, always trying to cooperate and perform well, out of fear that a
mistake would drag Close down…
But he didn’t have any of those thoughts during this match.

From the second half onwards, the space-time knight seemed to have
become the vast sky that enveloped the team. It wasn’t that he didn’t have a
sense of existence, but that he gave people a ubiquitous sense of ease.
Under this scorching bright sun, everyone could act recklessly and be
themselves.
Wei Xiao felt really sour. He wanted to snap at Ning Zhehan, but he
accidentally saw Lu Feng out of the corner of his eyes.
The corners of Lu Feng’s lips were a little curved, and his eyelashes
couldn’t block the shallow smile in his eyes.
He-who-didn’t-smile-often was deadly when he smiled.
Wei Xiao was stunned just looking at it.
He really wanted to take off his headphones, block the camera, and prevent
anyone else from seeing the current Lu Feng.
His boyfriend shouldn’t seduce people like this in front of the whole world!
Unfortunately, he couldn’t hide it. Not only did the whole world see it, but
even Yuan Ze from the other side saw it.
After three years away, Yuan Ze saw the Close that he’d missed seeing all
this time.
The seventeen year old Close who had secretly practiced with the space-
time knight, looking forward to the next season’s doubles competition. The
Close who loved this team, his teammates, and the FTW that had provided
him with warmth.
Was it worth it？
Worth it.
Did he regret it?

No.
How about hate?
How could he?
The smothering clouds split apart, and the moon shone brightly through
them. Lu Feng had finally managed to see the rise of a new FTW.
Over the past three years, many of them had been running away.
Only Lu Feng had kept moving forward, carrying along a fragmented,

scattered FTW as he shouldering the concerns of many others.
He had wanted to meet them and tell them: “Everything is going well.”
It was a pity that they had separated, but there was no need to carry around
a heavy past.
The past was but a moment, but the present would last for eternity.
Compared with FTW’s hot blooded enthusiasm, L&P was a bit confused.
If it could be said that they’d been caught off guard and lost the first match,
then just now…
They really felt the gap in strength.
Yes.
The gap in strength.
L&P felt a gap in strength against FTW.
It had clearly been only half a year, and it was less than a full season’s time.
The team that they could play casually against during the winter training
camp had already grown to this point.
VIVI couldn’t overlook Ning Zhehan’s immortal warlock.

AA couldn’t forget about Wei Xiao’s berserker thief.
Gary was still confused all over, his brain buzzing.
What was going on?
Why were they so anxious playing a game where they would definitely win.
Was it a showdown?
The last game?
Were they going to lose?
Five words that they’d never thought of before entered their minds, and
they all sucked in a breath.
Gary whispered, “Captain…”
Were they the ones who were going to stop at the top eight?
Yuan Ze looked straight ahead. His black eyes were calm and quiet, but the
corners of his lips curved slightly. “What’s there to be afraid of?”
Gary was stunned.
Yuan Ze looked at FTW, who weren’t far away, at Close, to whom he

seemed to be faraway from, and considered the washed away past. What
poured into his chest in the end was a long-lost breath of fresh air.
There was no scent of smoke and no turbidity or sorrow…
There was only relief.
“We’ve walked through all kinds of difficult roads. There’s nothing to be

afraid of this time.”
Yuan Ze’s deep voice rang out in their team chat, and the four people who
followed him felt goosebumps break out all over their bodies.
Yeah, L&P had been at the bottom the year before last. They’d managed to
turn the tables, winning the division championship, and then the global
championship!
Last year had been a chaotic year, a year without fighting spirit, a year
without goals.
They had all sensed Yuan Ze’s depression and felt that he was heading for a
decline, but there was nothing they could do.
At that moment, although they didn’t know what had happened, they could
see the Yuan Ze from two years ago––
Full of fighting spirit, full of passion, and eager to win!
Old G started burning with passion and sat up straight. “Yeah, what the hell
is there to be afraid of!”
Close, Little Lunatic Wei, Silvery, White, Le.
The new FTW members were now mature opponents and that could only
give them the energy to fight.
What kind of life and death in the arena did they have to be afraid of? Why
were they looking at the future and worrying about the past?
If they did their best for every game, then they would live up to the efforts
they’d put in all season!
VIVI exposed his small tiger teeth with his grin. “Yeah, if I lose to granny
gray, I’ll immediately dye my hair granny gray.”
President A was expressionless. “Old Mo, protect me.”
Mo: “The canyon might blow up, but I’ll still ensure that you can deal full
DPS.”
Yuan Ze looked at the interface on the screen, and his fingers landed gently
on the keyboard.
His fingertips trembled slightly, blood surging in his ears. His heart was
beating very fast.
Nervous, but excited.
The countdown for the BP sounded in his ears, and Yuan Ze whispered in
his heart––
Goodbye, teammate.
Hello, opponent.
Ch250.1 - Maybe Close just liked
the top-lane position.
The words ‘decisive game’ carried its own innate sense of thrill.
In a BO5 game, a fifth match greatly tested the players. It was a huge test of
their physical strength, concentration, spirit, and even psychological
endurance.
Each of the matches, including the BP segment, lasted for a full hour. After
playing four matches, and taking into account the resting time, it would
have already been four and a half hours!
At this time, they would be faced with the final decisive moment, the key to
victory or defeat, the turning point where they would either be able to
continue to battle on or end up making a lonely exit…
This physical and mental stress was enough to crush a person.
Not to mention, this was also a full-game BP model. If they relaxed even
slightly, it might mean the difference between heaven and earth. It wasn’t
just the players; even the coaches were nervous, worried that they would
leave the team with regrets.
The commentators took advantage of this break to drink some water and
moisten their throats, but their voices were still a bit hoarse when they
spoke. Eurostar had been sitting on this small bench for five hours, and his
waist was even starting to get sore.
Professional players sat on relatively comfortable chairs, but when

watching this kind of competition, they would often end up tense from head
to toe, which made it difficult for them to relax.
The audience who were watching the game were also very nervous. “It’s the
decisive match; they’ll be too damned wronged if they lose!”
“Who would be wronged? FTW or L&P? Lu Feng or Yuan Ze?”
“Fellow sisters, talk if you want to talk. Why do you have to send out
knives?”
The entire world was concerned, but the players in the arena who should
have been feeling very tired were all full of energy.
FTW had just won a match, playing with so much enthusiasm it was like
they’d been injected with chicken blood. It was likely that the four little
ones had even forgotten that this was the decisive match and had forgotten
that this was the last battle of the day.
L&P were obviously left dazed for a while after losing the fourth match, but
it was unknown what had been said within their team that caused them to
all sit up straight and look even more serious than they had for any of the
previous four matches.
The commentators didn’t dare to say anything about L&P, but the audience
commented objectively. “This is the style of a strong team. The more
frustrated they are, the braver they are. They can still energize themselves
and go all out when they’re forced into a desperate situation by the younger
generation!”
Of course, there was no shortage of haters. “Haha, go all out? Forced by the
FTW that had fallen to their knees at the finals last year to go all out? L&P
should reflect on themselves. If a storm has weakened to this point, they
might as well go back to grazing and milking on a farm!”
Amidst the tense breathing of countless people, the BP began.
It was already the fifth game, and there was no holding back despite the
limited choices. The decisive match wasn’t a battle of freedom, but it had
the feel of a battle of freedom.
Talents were released from the ban positions, and there was no way to
compete over who took what. Fortunately, both sides had kept some cards
in hand, and they were still able to pull out some strong talents even now.
When the line-up came out, it was like a fire had been lit up under the
audience, too.
Take a look at FTW: death knight, shadow thief, spirit mage, elemental
shaman, gun launcher.
Double dark plus double spirit (spirit mage and the agile gun launcher),
paired with a top tier support, the elemental shaman. This followed the
trend of bombing the arena!
L&P didn’t lose out much at all: berserker warrior, hidden thief, immortal
warlock, holy priest, and storm hunter.
The ‘hidden berserker’ combo could use their ultimates to start team fights
and could also make sneak attacks by stabbing knives in their enemies’
backs. It was one of L&P’s classic top-jungler combinations. The immortal
warlock and storm hunter were a godly c-position pairing, one flying up in
the sky and clouds as the other showed off with rain in the air. They were
all dazzling, godly talents!
Then rounding it out with Mo’s holy priest, who could heal, control, look
good, and fight (not really), made for a perfect line-up!
It was difficult for the ordinary members of the audience to calculate what
talents had been used, and they’d originally thought that the teams would
have a tough time in the last match––if the decisive match ended up being
weak chickens pecking at each other, not only would the fans flame the
coaches, but they would also head over to kill the competition committee.
What a stupid competition system; did they want people to watch the
competition or not!
However the situation at hand proved that the coaches were badass and that
the competition committee hadn’t underestimated the players.
The talent pool was full of tricks, and the five matches had all played out
differently, making them more exciting to watch.
When they arrived at the decisive game, they had to dig out what was at the
bottom of the box and really go all out!
Commentator Brother Mouth was a bit excited. “The death knight is up

against the berserker warrior. There will be fighting in the top lane in this
match!”
Eurostar smiled like a fox. “I heard that Close’s death knight was single-
handedly trained up by Marshal.”
Brother Mouth was an old fan, too. “It’s true that the Team of Gods opened
up a new path for the death knight as a jungler.”
The death knight was a relatively early stage talent. It had always been used
in the top-lane before, but later, Close had used it to play jungler with the
Team of Gods, opening up a new realm of possibilities.
No one knew why Close would have wanted to fight in the jungle with the
death knight. At first, everyone thought that the Team of Gods was just
being arrogant and not treating their opponents like people. Later on when
their opponents were beaten into dogs, everyone changed their tune,
thinking that Close just liked the death knight talent, so he used it to play
jungler.
Did Close like the death knight talent?
Maybe he liked the top-lane position.
The commentator continued, “Speaking of which, the double dark combo

was also formed in FTW.”
The double dark top-jungler combo that had once been popular all across
the world wasn’t the Yuan Ze and Gary combo that was around today, but
the one with Marshal and Close.
Yuan Ze now had his own double dark.

Close also had his own double dark.
Yuan Ze and Gary had won the third match. What kind of answer would
Close and Wei Xiao respond with in the fifth match?
Everyone was looking forward to it!
The camera swept through, giving the audience a panoramic view of the
scene. The ten heroes transformed into ten streaks of light before landing at
their respective fountains. Lu Feng’s death knight was wearing the night
death skin, while Wei Xiao’s shadow thief was wearing the legendary dead
soul knight skin.
CP fans all started screaming. Although the game officials hadn’t stated it
clearly, everyone privately knew that it was a CP skin set!
There was darkness in the death knight, and there was a knight in the
darkness. Even the skin names matched up.
The officials did things in the dark, but the players were out in the light.
The CP fans were infectiously exhilarated, and the panic everyone was
feeling over the decisive match receded significantly.
There was a small Easter egg for the night death and dead soul knight skins.
When they appeared in the same line-up and stood next to each other, they
would say two sentences to each other.
Night death: “My dark night.”
Dead soul knight: “In the name of the knight.”
Then, the two of them would then say at the same time: “Defend the
territory!”
The directors followed through to the end and provided a close-up of the
two heroes. The two low voices sounded out, causing screams to burst out
again and again in the venue.
Forget it, even if the great and little demon kings end up falling to their
knees, this beautiful CP was locked in tight! The keys had been tossed into
the Great Rift Valley and fed to the lanternfish of the deep!
The match began!
A system announcement rang out amidst the tense atmosphere: Full charge
ahead!
The death knight and berserker warrior arrived at the top lane at almost the
same time. This time, they didn’t go to help their own junglers invade the
jungle. Instead, they went straight to their own lanes like they’d never done
before.
At the same time, Ning Zhehan and VIVI encountered each other in the
middle lane, and the two groups of two at the bottom lane also met up.
Providing an overall view of the map was sufficient, and everyone had a
sense of what was going on.
As for the two jungler kings…
The hidden thief and shadow thief shared a similar trait, which was their
ability to become invisible.
However, the hidden thief’s stealth was stronger, and there was no limit on
the time he could remain hidden. As long as he wasn’t attacked and didn’t
attack others, his stealth wouldn’t be lifted. Of course, a real vision trap
could detect his stealth, and there were also some other reconnaissance
skills that could ‘find’ him.
The shadow thief’s stealth had a time limit, but his stealth was used more
for skill combos. It was easier to attack from the back with the stealth
effect, and a back stab would create critical hits. Additionally, it was easy to
play out a set of explosive combos by using stealth to strengthen basic
attacks.
The former talent’s invisibility was more subtle, while the latter’s stealth
almost always meant entering into a fight.
Based on Wei Xiao’s understanding of Gary, Old G might as well rename
himself Elder G if he didn’t invade the jungle with the hidden thief.
Note, this wasn’t as simple as just changing a form of address.
As Wei Xiao had expected, he’d only finished taking down his red buff
halfway when a blade flashed out, aiming at his waist.
Wei Xiao always paid attention to the minimap, and he naturally knew the
opponents’ movements: Yuan Ze was on the top lane, Mo was on the
bottom lane, and VIVI had exposed himself while clearing his lane soldiers,
so…
Old G had come by himself!
There were a lot of thoughts in his mind, but his actions moved faster than
his thoughts! He turned sideways to dodge the dark blade. After fading into
the night, he landed an accurate backstab, piercing the hidden thief’s stealth
and smashing out a critical hit at the same time!
This operation was amazing, even for those who were watching from god’s
perspective.
It had to be known that even with god’s perspective, what the audience
could see was nothing but the hidden thief’s virtual shadow. It was almost
entirely covered up by the bushes and couldn’t be seen without
concentrating; Wei Xiao couldn’t see anything at all except empty air, yet
he was able to accurately land a backstab. How had he done it?
The commentators provided the answer. “Quiet based his attack on the
direction of the hidden thief’s dark blade. Although Gary’s hands were fast,
and he hid immediately after he attacked, Wei Xiao’s dynamic vision must
have captured the direction and allowed him to predict Gary’s positioning in
order to hit him so accurately!”
The audience grew even more stunned with this explanation: They weren’t
the same at all; they were really different from Little Lunatic Wei! He
deserved to have won the national championship in the first year of his
career after his debut and become famous all over the world!
But Old G didn’t panic. He’d soloed with Wei Xiao a lot ever since his team
moved into the FTW base. He knew that this was part of the little lunatic’s
routine operations, and he’d prepared for it. Although he’d been hit by a
back stab, the hidden thief didn’t retreat but instead went forth to slice at the
shadow thief’s throat with a heavy attack.
The damage dealt from different directions was different. The waist and
throat were fatal, and there would still be a high bleed effect even without a
critical hit.
Wei Xiao didn’t blink at all as he stacked up marks on the hidden thief’s
head, connecting up his shadow attacks.
Once they started fighting, nothing else could nearly be as valuable as the
First Blood in front of them! Not the red buff, not the stone men, not the
three wolf creeps or even the five little bears!
Ch250.2 - Dream on.
The audience was really getting into watching the fight when the director
suddenly split the screen into four.
The audience: “Ahh… what are you doing… stupid director, holy shit…”
They instantly shut up and couldn’t curse anymore. There should be a

dozen more such godly directors, thank you!
The director really hadn’t been purposely cutting away from such an
exciting battle. However, there was action occurring all across the map!
Fighting hadn’t only broken out in the jungle zone; there was fighting
across all the lanes. It was just that these players, who were all still at level
one, were already able to play out earth-destroying momentum.
In the bottom lane, Bai Cai’s elemental shaman made the audience’s eyes
light up, “Not bad, Baibai, turn the page on your salted fish days and show
off with the elemental shaman!”
The operation requirement for the elemental shaman was very high, and it
wasn’t any less difficult than some c-position talents. It was enough to
make people’s scalp go numb when he showed off.
Bai Cai’s small white hands clattered over the keyboard as he executed a
bunch of operations. It looked like he knew what he was doing, and he
didn’t look like a noob at all?
In fact, he had always had the consciousness and instinct for such micro
operations. He was also diligent enough, however he generally didn’t have
the confidence.
In his early years in the youth training camp, Old Bai had been one of the
best potential players. Unfortunately, he didn’t believe in himself and
played badly with his teammates, so he could never get good results.
There was no solo in the support position, so if you couldn’t play out results
in a team competition, then it meant you were a crappy player.
Wei Xiao had taken a fancy to him and pulled him into his group.
After they fought against and won against the second teams from major
clubs, they became famous in one fell swoop. Brother Cai’s status as a
godly support of the new generation also kicked in.
Now, after some back and forth, he’d won two domestic championships.
With the great demon king and the little lunatic’s powerful buffs, Brother
Cai finally attained a sense of confidence.
The elemental shaman was just that, and Laozi could use it too!
As a bottom lane combo, Bai Cai and Yue Wenle were able to firmly resist
the peak bottom-support combo of Mo and President A. Not to mention the
domestic audience, even the foreign watchers were also surprised.
“Are they so strong? Didn’t the two of them collapse during every match in
the globals last year?”
“The matches collapsed, but they didn’t. They’re really quite capable!”
“This year’s FTW is really different… is having new people on the team
such a big motivator?”
“Look at that jungler, he’s beaten Gary up to that point so how can he not be
strong?”
“The mid-laner is really flashy, too! There’s something promising about this
granny gray!”
The mid-lane was also heated. VIVI was a very peaceful mid-laner, and he
would generally keep the mid-lane stable while waiting for the jungler to
come over to gank. It was rare for him to end up fighting against the
opposite side like this, but now…
It was unknown if he’d been angered by Ning Zhehan earlier or if his

veteran blood had been stimulated, but his attitude today was obviously that
of wanting to teach a newcomer a lesson.
With training from thorny players like Wei Xiao and Moonlit, Little Ning
had properly developed a strong mentality a long time ago.
Solo? He wasn’t afraid anymore.
Using momentum to suppress him? The more pressure he felt, the more
courage he had, just give it a try!
What no one expected was that First Blood would actually break out in the
mid-lane.
Ning Zhehan’s spirit mage killed VIVI’s immortal warlock on his own. As
soon as the system announcement came out, the entire audience was in an
uproar.
Although the spirit mage did have an advantage against the immortal
warlock prior to level 6, that was VIVI! That was a championship team’s
mid-laner, and Little Ning was a newcomer who’d just made his debut.
He’d taken First Blood from VIVI in the decisive match?!
Let alone the audience, even VIVI felt like he was in a dream.
“F*ck!”
In the bottom lane, President A shot Bai Cai to death. “Be careful.”
Brother Cai had given Yue Wenle an attack speed totem before he died. Yue
Wenle shot out his attacks again and again, taking down half of AA’s health
bar. If Mo hadn’t stepped in to stop the bullets in time, AA would’ve had to
return to the fountain!
Yue Wenle knew that no one would come over to gank, so he directly used
his second skill to rush up and attack Mo directly.
The gun launcher’s basic attack damage had a distance bonus. The closer
they were, the more damage was dealt. The holy priest had never been a
tanky talent, so this kind of close up DPS assault right in his face caused his
health to bottom out in an instant.
AA sucked in a breath, shooting out his rain arrows at Yue Wenle. Yue
Wenle took down Mo while tanking the damage, then shot out another
series of bullets at the storm hunter.
AA：“……”
To hell with the new generation, this old generation was really angry!
Yue Wenle was unable to kill the agile storm hunter, but he forced President
A into a state where he couldn’t defend his tower. He managed to make a
very good profit in this exchange by chopping off a quarter of the tower’s
health.
There were clear results in the mid and bottom lane, but the two people
who’d first started fighting in the jungle zone had separated and stopped
fighting.
The hidden thief and shadow thief had exchanged attacks, and their health
bars had both fallen to half health. Originally, they’d thought that they
would fight to the death, but unexpectedly, Gary slipped away, and Wei
Xiao didn’t chase after him. Instead, he turned around and started clearing
his jungle, not wasting even the slightest bit of time.
The really important play was taking place in the top lane.
The death knight and the berserker warrior who’d both arrived at level 2
after clearing a wave of lane soldiers had already gone back and forth
hundreds of times.
If this was a martial arts film, then these two were like experts exchanging
blows. The details were all filled with more details, and it made people wish
they could watch it slowly at half speed so that they could have a proper
look at what was happening!
The death knight who didn’t have his ultimate move couldn’t win against
the berserker warrior.
Although the death knight had dual forms, Glory’s talents for dual forms
weren’t necessarily that strong, and they may not be able to use those eight
skills to beat those who only had four.
Due to the game’s class balancing mechanism, if two players’ abilities were
almost the same without any major talent suppression in play, then the
players would definitely be left in a situation where it was difficult for
either side to get the upper hand.
Like the death knight and berserker warrior right now.
The death knight was in his heavy form, covered with enchanted armor, and
his blade gave off black wisps of gas. Underneath his mask was a pale jaw
rather than the figure of an undead skeleton, but it was still suffused with a
thick aura of death, appearing as though he wanted to drag everything
around him into the abyss of hell.
The berserker warrior’s weapon was a sword and an axe, and it was one of
the male player base’s favorite talents because it looked cool and strong,
and it felt great when the skills landed. Even if they couldn’t kill anyone, it
still gave them great pleasure to watch the skill ‘bold and resolute’.
The heavily armored death knight moved slowly, and the berserker
warrior’s bulky figure seemed a little clumsy, but these two talents were
played smoothly and naturally in Yuan Ze and Lu Feng’s hands.
The long sword swung punishingly, sweeping away evil spirits and sending
out tiger roars of the dead; the dust that shot up from the quakes caused by
‘bold and resolute’ blocked out the sky and sun!
Both of them used their skills with just the right timing, and if they couldn’t
dodge, then they would trade attacks. Even if they were controlled, they
would ensure that the other side couldn’t link up a combo. Similar talents
and similar DPS mechanisms meant that their health was measured very
precisely – if one of them lost a drop of health, then the other side did, too.
The commentators soon focused on the top lane, speaking quickly about the
details they saw.
The audience also listened carefully, their eyes blurred from the dazzling
show, not really understanding what was going on even as they sighed with
regret.
It was easy to explain the former, since the special effects and the hand
speed being witnessed in this match was quite dazzling. A lack of
understanding the play was also normal; they could all use the same talents,
but they couldn’t understand how to play out this kind of effect.
As for sighing with regret…
They weren’t regretting anything else, they were lamenting over the singles
competitions in recent years.
How wonderful would they have been if Yuan Ze had participated!
The former solo king and current solo king!
How wonderful would it have been to watch their solo game?!
It wasn’t that they looked down on Gary, but that Old G himself also had to
bow down to Yuan Ze’s ability to win in a solo fight.
Fortunately, Yuan Ze had signed up for the singles this year.
If they couldn’t watch their fill here, then they could still have a good time
watching the global singles!
They hit hard with the first wave, and died together on the top lane as a
result. In the mid-lane, Ning Zhehan had happily taken First Blood, while
the supports had both traded their lives on the bottom lane. The two jungler
kings had attacked each other the most fiercely, but had then withdrawn the
fastest, moving on to peacefully clear their respective jungles.
It seemed like FTW had the advantage, but VIVI, who’d resurrected and
returned to the mid-lane, had directly connected a set of spirit mage skills
and taken granny grea’s little life in an instant.
There was a large stretch of comments in the live broadcast room.

“666666……”
Clearly it was their home player who’d been brutally killed, but the
audience were all high from watching. It didn’t matter which side it was or
which team they were supporting; even all the grudges and resentments
from the different competition zones had been put down.
Strength was strength. Such a good play was worthy of applause and praise!
Little Ning sucked in a breath. “I really want to provoke President V.”
It was very untimely, but a line of text floated up in Brother Cai’s Gossip
Emperor mind––Domineering President V with the little granny gray
runaway wife––F*ck, what the hell, wash your mind after the game, Old
Bai!
Granny gray had really provoked President V, but granny grey didn’t back
down at all and only became braver and braver as they fought. He said
excitedly, “It wasn’t a loss, I took First Blood!”
First Blood was worth one hundred extra gold. Little Ning was quite proud
even as he toppled to the ground.
Even without mentioning winning or losing, FTW would be unable to

escape being known for their bold hearts when this voice chat was cut out
by Glory’s Mic Explosion King.
Oh, calling them bold hearted would be a disgrace to the phrase. They were
really f*cking doing it intentionally!
If we use Coach Chen Feng’s tone to scold them, then it would go like––
This group of heartless brats; do you know that this is the decisive game?!
Do you know that this is an elimination match, do you know that you’ll stop
in the top eight if you lose?!
They didn’t know, they didn’t know. They were immersed in the game, and
it didn’t even matter what year it was. They just had to fight and be done
with it!
Level six was the key turning point. Wei Xiao could figure out Old G’s
movements with his eyes closed.
That brat would definitely clear the red jungle zone before heading straight
to the top lane, regardless of whether or not they were soloing. He just had
to go and activate their top-jungler linkage.
Would Wei Xiao just let him go up there?
Dream on.
Ch250.3 - It was a game filled with
excitement, a wonderful showdown.
Old G snuck his way to the river and had just hidden himself when he saw
an exclamation mark appear over his head. He sucked in a breath. “The
little lunatic is here.”
Yuan Ze: “Stop him.”
Gary hadn’t even voiced his agreement when Wei Xiao launched a set of
skills at his head.
Stop him? It was unclear who was stopping who!
How could Gary not understand what Wei Xiao wanted to do when he saw
him? This brat had started off with a shadow attack, and he was building up
strength for his light arcs.
Although eight light arcs at level six wouldn’t kill him instantly, what if this
brat was able to stack up nine light arcs?
The hidden thief was too squishy for that level of damage and wouldn’t be
able to take it!
Old G immediately pulled away to avoid the central damage zone.
Wei Xiao had set himself up well, and there was nothing wrong with how
he had started. Even the audience felt that he was going to fill the sky with
light arcs and even felt regret for him ahead of time because his light arcs
wouldn’t be able to land. He wouldn’t be able to hurt Old G, since the
slippery hidden thief was already in stealth and could also avoid damage.
He’d run so far that let alone eight light arcs, even with nine light arcs, he’d
only be scraped by the edge of it. At most, he would only be able to get Old
G to half health.
In the next second…
A whole series of ‘holy shit’ rang out.
If the commentators weren’t professionals, they may also have called out.
Yuan Ze: “……………………”
Yuan Ze gritted his teeth. “Little Lunatic Wei, you’re done for!”
After putting on a good act and driving Gary away, Wei Xiao didn’t try to
brush out light arcs at all. Instead, he landed his shadow attack on the jungle
creeps and headed straight to the top lane.
The solo that would’ve originally taken place between two evenly matched
people experienced a hiccup due to the light arcs in the sky.
The light arcs belonged to FTW, and the one who died was Yuan Ze.
Gary, who’d headed towards the mid-lane in order to avoid Wei Xiao, was
left totally confused. “This… this…” This was different from what was
expected!
Wei Xiao chuckled. “There can never be too much deception in war.”
He continued complaining in his heart. “Old Bandit Yuan, why do you keep
pestering my boyfriend!”
The competition had to be played, kills had to be taken, and the vinegar
couldn’t be forgotten.
Solo?
What were you thinking? This was a 5v5 team competition!
Besides, he hadn’t soloed with the captain for a long time. Yuan Ze, you
should step aside!
Wei Xiao’s operations blinded everyone’s titanium alloy eyes.
Can we occasionally, maybe, possibly give being human a go sometime?!
With Little Lunatic Wei stirring things up, the game grew even more
exciting.
It had started off as a three lane attack, but now the waters grew even
muddier.
Gary was also enraged. Since his captain had been ganked, he went to mess
with the middle lane.
Little Ning shouted, “Brother Xiao!”
Wei Xiao pressed the transmission button and was able to provide timely
support. He wasn’t able to catch Old G, who was hiding about everywhere,
but he managed to deal with VIVI, who just landed again after brushing out
thousand layers of clouds.
Gary’s breath stuck in his chest, and he almost fainted from anger. “Little
Lunatic Wei, our grudges are growing bigger!”
The two jungler kings began to ‘go wild’ everywhere. The audience didn’t
even dare to blink, afraid that they would miss out on some wonderful
moment and then regret it for half their lives.
The scrolling comments in the live broadcast room were so dense that they
had to be hidden as overwhelming passionate screams blocked out the
whole screen. There was no way to watch the actual game without hiding
the comments.
Wei Xiao and Gary’s rhythm both rose like crazy, and the canyon filled with
people was left with corpses lying everywhere, making people sigh
endlessly.
What was even more deadly was that their teammates all cooperated
perfectly. Everyone showed off their talents vividly and decisively,
achieving the best that they could do. Everyone was facing off with equal
opponents!
On the top lane, there was the death knight and berserker warrior.
The mid-lane held the spirit mage and immortal warlock.
In the bottom lane, there was the elemental shaman and gun launcher
against the holy priest and storm hunter.
Combo moves flew all over the sky, and the special effects almost blew up
the stage. The cheers from the audience were just endless.
The outer defensive towers in the top lane fell at the same time, and the two
teams started their top-jungler linkage simultaneously.
Other people’s top-jungler linkage only involved the jungler going to the
top lane to provide support, in order to madly pressure the top lane
defensive towers.
These two teams’ top-jungler linkages meant that their top-jungler combos
moved together, fighting wherever they went. They would start killing
whenever they met an opponent, and it was always a fight to the death.
The two teams with their ‘reckless’ characteristics finally let themselves go
thoroughly after fighting four matches.
They didn’t think about anything, didn’t worry about anything, and set
aside everything but the game.
Their eyes only saw the canyon, their hearts were filled with the
competition, and they only had victory in their minds!
This fight was really too exciting, and the commentators had to moisten
their throats several times. They wanted to put on some glasses so they
could see more clearly and speak in more detail.
The kill count was even, and the towers remaining were also even. Even the
difference in farm was very small.
There was basically no gap!
Forty minutes into the game, everyone bought resurrection armor, and
everyone was in a fully developed state, but the outcome was still difficult
to determine.
The game always had to end.
There were always winners and losers in a competition.
Equal opponents still had to compete to attain victory.
When the storm dragon king roared into the canyon, everyone knew that the
decisive moment had come.
It was a real decisive battle!
There was no hesitation, no need to think. They just followed their instincts,
trusting in the hard work they’d put in day and night. The death knight and
berserker warrior started up the team fights at the same time, the long
sword’s momentum soaring up to the sky even as the berserker axe swept
up from the ground. As warriors at the forefront of the army, they carved
out a bloody path for their teammates!
Clouds linked up in a dance, spirit trees waved around, bullet after bullet
shot out, and raindrops flew all over the sky, like notes in a sonata of war!
They fell, then got back up.
They fell again and got back up again!
Their seriously injured health bars couldn’t stop the blood surging through
their chests, and their darkened screens couldn’t keep their fingers from
flying over the keyboard. Their belief in victory filled the narrow but
infinite Glory Canyon.
The hidden thief killed the exhausted spirit mage.
The berserker warrior cut off the gun launcher’s head.
The elemental shaman used his own life to create a resurrection totem.
The death knight leapt off his battle horse, wisps of evil rising up from the
soles of his feet and transforming into magic armor that wrapped around his
powerful body. When he waved his long sword, three of his enemies fell to
critical health in an instant.
The most beautiful melody was the quietest one.
When the nine light arcs that covered fully half the screen landed, everyone
forgot to blink, forgot to breathe, and forgot where they were.
The holographic projection spread the effects from the light arc over half
the venue leaving a view more gorgeous than a fireworks display and more
dazzling than the bright moon. This was the infinite glory of a scorching
sun!
The cold and distant kill announcements sounded out––
Bai Cai fell.
Mo fell.
VIVI and AA fell.
Yuan Ze and Gary fell.
Lu Feng and Wei Xiao also fell.
With help from the elemental shaman’s resurrection totem, FTW’s c-

positions remained standing––spirit mage Ning Zhehan and the gun
launcher Yue Wenle!
The crystal hadn’t yet exploded, but the entire venue was already going
crazy.
“Congratulations to FTW on entering the global top four!”
Victory!
L&P’s crystals exploded under the gun launcher’s assault.
It was a game filled with excitement, a wonderful showdown.
Regardless of who had won or lost, everyone had fought to the very last
moment!
The most wonderful game didn’t necessarily take place in the finals.
Today’s fight would certainly be recorded in the history of Glory!
Ch251.1 - Where’s the little lunatic!
After the game, the sound of tremendous applause could be heard outside
the noise cancelling headphones. The commentators spoke even more
passionately with hoarse voices. As a non-professional commentator, how
could Eurostar-star’s commentary compete with their reservoir of phrases?
Even if he could, there was no way to interject as Brother Mouth was
already full steam ahead, speaking at a shocking speed and using witty
phrases. No one should even think of interrupting.
But Eurostar was excited enough that his cheeks were flushed red. So, he
stood up and clapped wildly, and the sounds of his palms meeting were
even fiercer than those of the audience!
This scene was recorded, and later on, it became part of Euro God’s dark
history. We’ll skip it and move on.
The whole atmosphere was boiling with excitement, but the players on the
stage weren’t able to come back to their senses that quickly.
They’d been too focused on the game, their nerves too immersed in it, and
it was as though they hadn’t yet come back out of the canyon.
The headphones cut off the restless sounds of the world outside, so the
contestants were able to hear their own heartbeats more clearly.
Thump thump thump, thump thump thump.
Pounding too quickly as if their hearts wanted to jump out of their chests.
Little Ning’s expression was incredulous. “We… we won?”
Beside him, Bai Cai couldn’t manage a reply.

Yue Wenle was numb and dazed. It was like he’d lost his soul and couldn’t
speak.
Brother Cai: “F*ck!”
A huge rush of joy burst through his chest, gushing out and spreading
instantly through the nerves across his entire body.
Even the tip of his tongue felt sweet. Every strand of hair felt great.
Ning Zhehan jumped up. “We made it into the global top four!”
He turned around and hugged Bai Cai fully, and Bai Cai didn’t have any
attention to spare for how he was pressed into Little Ning’s arms and
whether or not it was embarrassing. He hugged him back just as tightly and
really wanted to jump around with him.
When the camera swept over, it caught the scene of them shifting from a
stunned daze to excitement, moving the fans who’d followed their whole
journey so much so that their eyes heated and tears gathered.
It hadn’t been easy…
It hadn’t been easy at all.
They thought back to the competition in the winter training camp, where
L&P had played against FTW like adults toying with children, casually
taking a win.
At the time, Ning Zhehan, Yue Wenle, and Bai Cai had all been awed by the
aura of the Team of Gods and were tied up in knots and nervous.
But now, half a year later, one season later, they were already able to
compete with the Team of Gods, could already stand shoulder to shoulder
with the great demon king, and already had enough strength to hold up
FTW!
Wei Xiao’s mood was fairly stable. Only his fingers were trembling; not
because they’d won, but because the game just now had been too exciting
and fun.
When it came to e-sports, winning was everything.
But this time, he experienced more than just a win.
That kind of focused fighting that left no space for any other thoughts, that
reckless killing and fighting, the tension and stimulation that came from
being able to trust his back to someone else unconditionally and face the
enemy head-on, full of expectations…
At this moment, the beauty of the competition filled his blood.
The three little ones had all gathered in a group hug together by the time
He turned his head and immediately fell into a pair of familiar black eyes.
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up, and the corners of his lips moved. He mouthed
silently, “Did it feel good?”
Attentive fans noticed it, and they instantly started screaming. “Holy shit,
what did Quiet say to Close!”
“Feel good?”
“Wake me up, quickly! I must have been affected by a little train, why does
everything seem so dirty!”
“Was he really asking that, holy shit.”
“Ahhhh, Little Lunatic Wei, your captain will lose control like that!”
“It’s real, it’s real, my CP is real!”
“Fellow sisters, make some room for me. I’ve got inspiration for my 10,000
word story!”
“!!!”
“Quickly, quickly, fellow sister, hurry up. I’m waiting for you to get it all
out today!”
The CP fans all exploded, and even the rational fans were very quiet for
once. Even the straight male fans were calm.
They’d seen those who sold rot that could reach the heavens, but they’d
never seen anyone do it as naturally as Wei Xiao.
The straight men who’d seen it all no longer took it seriously. What hadn’t
that little coquettish do-it-all not done before?
Not to mention…
It really did feel good!
In that game just now, they’d been pulled in to ‘feel good’ just by watching.
Let alone the players in the arena, it was simply a peak experience!
Winning a game was definitely different from losing a game.
L&P were the ones who were really left in a trance that they still hadn’t
woken up from yet.
The decisive game had really been a peak experience. They hadn’t thought
about winning or losing throughout the entire game.
They hadn’t thought of winning or losing, but their emotions had been lifted
up to the ultimate height. They had only wanted to do their best without
pursuit of any particular results.
Being able to play a game like this was a rare experience for any
professional player.
But… in the end, they’d lost.
They’d lost.
Lost to FTW.
Lost in the eight to four.
The championship team from two years ago, the runner up team from last
year, had stopped in the top eight this year.
Bursts of sharp chills sprang up from their backs, raising goose bumps on
their arms as their hands trembled uncontrollably. At this moment, it felt
like they’d been pulled from heaven to hell, falling from the high clouds
into the mire.
Their heated blood was frozen over, and a bone-chilling numbness spread
out all over their body.
No one could speak, and their team chat was quiet.
VIVI, Mo, AA, Gary……
They all sat there in a daze. They didn’t dare to believe what the gray screen
in front of them told them, and they didn’t dare to look directly at the scarlet
‘Defeat’.
“I’m sorry.”
The sound entered their ears, a husky voice speaking in a low tone.
They looked up abruptly and saw Yuan Ze sitting to their left. Their captain.
Yuan Ze’s line of sight was as straight as a pen as he stared at the computer
screen. His side profile was stiff, and under the flashing light, the
reflections of the earring in his ear had an unprecedented brilliance.
It didn’t seem like a dismal moment, but rather something splendid instead.
Old G choked and wanted to say something when he heard Yuan Ze

continue softly. “I’m the one who has been in a bad state ever since we won
the championship two years ago.”
In 2019, L&P had risen up from adversity and won the global
championship!
Yuan Ze had lost direction even as he lit up the whole world with his
brilliance.
After leaving the Team of Gods, he’d proven himself again and showed
everyone that he had the strength of a champion, that he was a top player in
the world, but…
But then what?
Old G burst into tears when he heard his words. He took off his headphones
and threw himself at Yuan Ze in a bear hug.
The other three also had reddened eyes.
They’d lost the game and come to a stop at the top eight, putting themselves
in such an awkward position, but they hadn’t shed any tears.
It was only when they heard Yuan Ze’s words that they could no longer
suppress their surging emotions.
It was difficult to articulate what Yuan Ze felt in his heart, but this time,
there was no guilt and remorse. There was only the spirit of fighting side by
side. “We’ll do this again next time.”
His voice was a little choked, but he still attempted to keep his tone relaxed.
“L&P, let’s do it again in 20XX!”
Turning the tables at a critical moment, they could still do that!
Gary was a big, sturdy man, but he was loud when he cried.
Other than his teammates, no one else knew how he felt.

VIVI, AA, and Mo all came over and hugged them, with the two of them at
the center.
Last year… for a full year, they’d thought that Yuan Ze would leave the
North American competition zone.
After getting L&P a championship, Yuan Ze’s mission had come to an end.
Was he going to leave? They’d worried about it for two seasons, but they
hadn’t dared to ask, hadn’t dared to mention it, and hadn’t even dared to
think about it.
Now, they were finally relieved––
Their captain, he was still here.
Their Marshal was still here!
L&P would make their return next season!
FTW went up on the hot search yet, yet, yet again, and they occupied
several entries at the same time. The primary one was a sensational post
from the venue, filled with a series of screenshots.
The passers-by wondered, “Is it the Glory finals?”
“FTW won the championship?”
“Has the China competition zone woken up?”
After taking a closer look, what the hell, how was it the finals? It wasn’t
even the semi-finals, it was just the eight into four round!
“It’s just the eight into four; do they have to be so excited?”
“Why does the eight into four have the same momentum as the finals? The
Glory fans really know how to stir things up.”
“Isn’t it just the top four? How many years have they been noob for, that
even making it into the top four is enough to shoot the entire competition
zone to a climax?”
“Tsk, really worthless.”
After the aforementioned passes-by accidentally clicked open the game

replay, they all ended up flooding over to watch the game––
“Glory’s actually a 10G game? What the hell, Laozi wants to play right
now!”
“Newcomer begging for an explanation, is the shadow thief easy to play?”
“I’m a newbie. Is choosing the death knight as a first talent a good choice?”
That’s right, FTW had once again brought in a group of new players to
Glory, but this time, the main force of this pull had changed from the great
demon king to all five people from FTW.
The hot search was the hot search. The live broadcast was still ongoing.
The game was over, but there was still a much anticipated interview.
After they’d charged into the top four and won against L&P, Chen Feng was
even more nervous than the players, to the point where he ignored the
interview segment, allowing Little Lunatic Wei to ‘fish in troubled waters’
and slip away.
By the time Chen Feng realized, he glared. “Where’s the little lunatic!”
Brother Cai: “Cough……”
Chen Feng glared at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng shifted his gaze away.
Chen Feng: “……” Keep spoiling him, then. Spoil him all the way until
death, and don’t worry about him poking a hole in the sky!”
Wei Xiao was really not far off from poking a hole in the sky.
He’d robbed Brother Cai of his job and happily gone to the interview table.
Although he’d only experienced a few interviews, Wei Xiao’s reputation

was already known to the hosts, and he’d been added to their lists
Be cautious when interviewing FTW, especially when interviewing Little

Lunatic Wei.
Just a little carelessness might only cause a small incident on the live
broadcast, but the ruin it caused to their career could be major!
When the host in charge of the interview saw Little Lunatic Wei, he
instantly felt a chill in his heart.
It was a male host this time, and he wasn’t caught up by Little Lunatic
Wei’s smiling expression. His heart was filled with cursing and complaints
about how FTW couldn’t act human. Why had they let this wolf out? Laozi
still wanted to work in this industry for a few more years, marry a wife, and
then retire!
Ch251.2 - Little Lunatic Wei's
crooked logic~
The host might have been feeling this kind of complicated inner drama, but
he still had to ask his questions. Fortunately, he had some mental
preparation, and he knew that he had to speak carefully when faced with
Little Lunatic Wei. He couldn’t blindly hand out conversation leads.
This fellow was the soft tip of FTW’s heart. No matter what, he had
someone backing him, but the host didn’t have the same treatment!
The host was trembling and timid as he asked his questions cautiously.
Those who understood the situation knew that he was interviewing a player,
but those who weren’t in the know would think that it was a little eunuch
serving a tyrant…
The audience in the live broadcast room scolded him. “Do you know how
to interview or not? Ask some explosive questions!”
“Who wants to listen to you guys nagging? Let the fence down a little, I
want to see Little Lunatic Wei!”
“Negative review. I suggest that the competition committee freeze out this
host, he’s so cowardly when doing an interview, what the hell kind of
interview is this!”
It was fortunate that the big brother host couldn’t see the scrolling
comments. Otherwise, he’d likely die from anger; if you guys can do it,
then you guys come and do it. You even want explosive questions, what are
you thinking? Do you want the live broadcast room to get closed down!
However, what would come, would still come. Wei Xiao had slipped out for
the interview, which meant that he had something to say.
The moment was unstoppable. At most, it could only be delaying the
inevitable.
The host saw that all the questions that should be asked had been asked and
that there shouldn’t be anything else left. He ended things out of habit with:
“In that case, Quiet, please share a few words with everyone.” When this
sentence came out, the host’s heart trembled. That wasn’t right; this was a
forbidden sentence, how had he just given it out just like that!
Wei Xiao had been waiting for just this moment. He picked up the
microphone and spoke in fluent English.
The host was stunned when he heard it.
Wei Xiao’s English was legit. Additionally, he’d already had a rough draft
of what he wanted to say in his heart a long time ago. Although it held some
Chinese references, it was still good enough that the whole world could
understand him.
At first, the audience in the live broadcast studio couldn’t quite react. After
they reacted, a translator emperor stepped out and provided an on-the-spot
translation, leaving themselves stunned as well after they had finished
translating. “F*ck, he really dares to say this!”
Wei Xiao finished saying everything in one go, then made a big and wide
smile that was both sunny and handsome. “Thank you.”
He bowed, then left, leaving the entire internet abroad to explode on its
own.
What had he said?
The general translation went like this. “I was very happy playing today’s
game. L&P is very strong, and they are opponents who are very worthy of
respect.”
“I hope that everyone will first hold back on going to flame them. Of
course, you can spray Old G appropriately; who told him to have such
lucky hands, which allowed him to score FTW in the draw?”
“L&P stopped in the top eight, not because they weren’t strong enough, but
because their opponents were too strong. Don’t worry, if we can’t win the
world championship, then please scold L&P to death; if we win the
championship, then there’s no need to scold them.”
Wei Xiao paused for a moment, and then his lips curved and he continued,
“After all, there’s only one champion under the new competition system.
Losing to the champion would make them the runner up, and our FTW will
win the world championship cup!”
These words were really arrogant and willful when they came out, but they
were also inexplicably sweet.
The audience abroad wanted to flame him to death online, especially the
L&P fans who hated FTW to death to start with, but it also felt as though
the words choked in their throats. At this second, they actually felt subtly
touched in their hearts. Well, just briefly, just a little bit!
This new competition system was an elimination system. What did the top
eight amount to? There was no shame in losing to the global champion.
And what about the top four? Maybe they just hadn’t met the champion
team.
And what about the runner up? Wasn’t it the same because it wasn’t
shameful to lose to the champion team?!
This year’s new competition system had no rankings. It only had one
champion.
The second place who’d lost to the championship team was no different
from a team in the top eight!
They were all runners-up who’d lost to the champion team.
As long as FTW won the world championship, then L&P would still be the
runner up this year.
Yuan Ze’s mouth twitched when he saw this segment from the backstage
lounge.
Old G: “Deamn!”
VIVI rubbed his forehead.
MO remained silent.
AA: “………………”
Yuan Ze cursed once. “Stinky brat!” Who the hell wanted to be the runner
up!
On the other side, the L&P fans wailed and burst out into tears. “Quiet, if
you can’t win the world championship, Laozi will go over there and blow
up the FTW base!”
The host’s legs were weak from Wei Xiao’s words, and he just wanted to
finish up the interview quickly, but Wei Xiao recalled something and then
added a sentence. “Oh, right, IN doesn’t count though.” IN, who’d been
wiped out by FTW 3:0, the team who’d made for such an unenjoyable
game, didn’t deserve the title of runner up, let alone when compared with
L&P.
It wasn’t only the domestic live broadcast rooms; even the foreign fans
couldn’t help laughing.
How should they say it? Looking at the whole world, only a boy like this
would dare to be so arrogant, right?
But somehow, even if he was so crazy and arrogant, there was no way to
hate him.
Miraculously, the domestic haters didn’t start flaming anyone.
How should they explain it? This speech was covered with potential spots
they could flame that really made people wish they could snap back at him
until he went into seclusion.
But Little Lunatic Wei…
Forget it, forget it.
They’d first wait for the global finals. It wouldn’t be too late if they waited
until after FTW failed to take the world championships and start flaming
then!
After the interview ended, the arrogant and brash Little Lunatic Wei made
his way backstage.
Wei Xiao apologized even before their coach could get a word out. “I was
wrong!”
Lu Feng opened up a bottle of water for Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao shot him a sweet smile. “I’m really thirsty.”
Chen Feng: “………………” You had such a huge pile of things to say.
Now you know how to feel thirsty?!
Although he hadn’t originally planned to scold him, Lu Feng’s blasé

attitude filled Chen Feng with anger that had nowhere to go.
What, when had he ever tried to manage this little lunatic?
What was Lu Feng protecting him for? Would he dare to scold him in front
of him?!
When Coach Chen Feng was very angry, the plans we made could end up
looking quite fatal.
Wei Xiao quickly set down his water bottle and continued apologizing.
“Next time…” He hadn’t yet finished saying that he wouldn’t go up to the
interview table when Chen Feng interrupted him. “What did you do
wrong?”
Wei Xiao bowed his head and slouched, using the corners of his eyes to
shoot signals like crazy at his boyfriend.
Chen Feng bonked him on the head. “Is taking the world championship cup
wrong? Or is it wrong to win?”
These words…
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up. He raised his head causing his hair to flop up,
beneath which his eyes were sparkling brightly.
Chen Feng was afraid of these small expressions of his. Mainly, he was
afraid that a certain vinegar altar would be unreasonable, and therefore, he
could only say some cruel words. “I’ll deal with you if you can’t win the
championship.”
Wei Xiao had always had the personality where he would definitely take a
mile if he was given an inch, then keep going until he couldn’t anymore.
“Coach, are you not angry?”
Chen Feng: I’m almost angered to death.
Wei Xiao: “You’re not scolding me even though I said those things?”
Chen Feng: Do I f*cking dare to scold you?!
Wei Xiao: “Coach, you’re really great!”
Get the hell out, can’t you see that your vinegar jar’s expression is as heavy
as water!
Tang Chen had just finished handling some follow-up matters, and he only
learned about the interview content when he came back. He patted Wei
Xiao vigorously. “It’s really something you would do!”
Wei Xiao staggered from this pat and conveniently fell towards his
boyfriend.
Lu Feng propped him up.
Tang Chen was oblivious to it all and was still in a good mood. “As long as
FTW wins the championship, then L&P will be the runner up. Brat, you’re
really… amazing!”
The corners of Chen Feng’s lips also couldn’t help curving upwards.
They were all old teammates. Who would wish to see any one of them on
the decline?
After L&P came to a stop in the top eight, they’d also been worried about
Yuan Ze.
With the fuss that Little Lunatic Wei had stirred up, public opinion would at
least offer L&P a trace of goodwill.
Of course, L&P also deserved it. No matter who it was who watched
today’s five matches, even passers-by who knew nothing about Glory, they
would all wave their flags and cheer for L&P.
Wonderful fights featuring a fight between equals. This had been the
ultimate competition dedicated to the global audience, a performance that
had been created from endless amounts of hard work.
No regrets!
Just then, Yue Lele, who’d finished knocking back a whole packet of potato
chips, uttered something. “We entered the top four in the world! We entered
the semi-finals!”
The pile of people in the lounge: “…………”
God Le, do your nerves grow on potato chips?

Winning the eight into four meant that they were about to usher in the
global semi-finals.
This year’s overall format was arranged like this: The eight into four was
soon followed by the semi-finals, and then, there was a week-long ‘rest’.
Why was ‘rest’ in quotation marks? Because it wasn’t really a break.

Instead, the global singles and doubles competitions were arranged during
that week.
Because they were 100 person brawls, both the doubles and singles
competitions only needed one day each.
A three day break after the semi-finals was followed by the singles
competition, the doubles competition, and then the global team competition
finals was the grand finale.
If they wanted to win a triple crown, then every day that came after this was
very important.
Resting was impossible. When the semi-finals list was about to come out,
everyone in FTW was calm.
What was there to not be calm about?
Y1, Eve, Pro, no matter who FTW came up against, it would be a fierce
battle!
The semi-finals were based on random system match-ups. Group A was Y1

against Pro, and Group B was FTW against EVE.
Did L&P head back home and vacate the base?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Even without mentioning the singles and doubles competitions, they would
never miss out on watching the global finals.
Yuan Ze’s hands itched badly, and he really wanted to go and pinch Little
Lunatic Wei.
If FTW won the championship, then L&P would be runners up?
Did people all over the world believe in this fallacy?
Well, yes.
Little Lunatic Wei, if you don’t f*cking win the championship, Laozi will
chop you up!
Ch252 - Scum Man Yuan’s bandit
heart wasn't dead.
No matter how short of time they were, having made it into the global top
four, there was still time for a good meal.
Money tightened his belt to make a cool entrance, inviting everyone to eat
at a wagyu hotpot place that had an average cost of 2000RMB per person!
He spoke easily and was full of pride, all the way until his own Moonlit
stabbed him with a verbal knife. “Everyone?”
Money: “Yes!”
“Everyone?”
“Of course!”
FTW’s second team wasn’t there, so it was only the starter team and two
coaches. At most, there would only be an additional Liuliu, so no matter
how poor Money was… f*ck!
Who would’ve dared to think…
That ‘everyone’ actually meant so many people!
L&P’s five starters and their coaches, Pro’s Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran,
3U’s Asleep and Brother Chun (God Yi was busy at the base), TPT’s
captain and FTW’s temporary coach Fu Li…
Money saw countless heads at a glance, and his sweat started falling like
rain. “Sorry, I’ve disturbed you, goodbye!”
He shouldn’t have even thought of running. Wei Xiao whistled, and Brother
Soy dashed over and pounced. This guard dog husky could go and take the
exam for a security license!
Mo Hui wailed, “Caicai.”
Bai Cai was expressionless. “There’s no car for you, but you can keep your
life.”
Money wailed and fell into Brother Soy’s embrace.
Don’t ask Money how much money was spent. Even Scum Man Yuan
acknowledged him as Brother Hui, which was enough of an indicator on its
own.
After crying all night, Mo Hui returned to his base and was just about to
call his sister to borrow a ‘little’ bit of money when he saw the WeChat
message that Lu Feng had sent over.
Once he clicked it open… “F*ck!”
Moonlit raised his eyelids and looked at him.
Mo Hui cursed and scolded as he sent out a voice message. “Old Lu, are
you looking down on me? Do I need you to transfer me money? Do you
think Laozi can’t even afford to shout a meal?”
Lu Feng sent over a pair of dead fish eyes: ==
Mo Hui’s eyebrows relaxed, and his eyes smiled. “Thank you, President
Lu!”
Just based on the speed with which he accepted the transfer, it was clear
there was no hint of any unwillingness to be looked down upon and that he
would be completely willing to be looked down on a few more times. Only
by being looked down on by President Lu could he spend lavishly every
day without worries.
After leaving the restaurant and returning to the base, Wei Little Xiao
leaned bodily against his boyfriend.
Since there was no one around, Lu Feng let him do as he liked.
Wei Xiao licked his bottom lip. “Captain~”
Wei Xiao’s black, black eyes darted around, and then he started putting on
an act. “I’m drunk!”
They had a game coming up soon. How could there have been any alcohol
on the table?
Wei Xiao spoke in a reasonable tone. “The drunken crab! I ate most of the
plate!”
Lu Feng was silent.
Wei Xiao continued to mess around with him. “I’m really drunk, too drunk
to walk.”
Wei Xiao could hear his intentions clearly. He blushed. “There’s, there’s no
need, your arm… ah…” He was forcibly picked up.
He might mess around, but it was impossible for Wei Xiao not to think
about Lu Feng’s arm even if he knew it had recovered. “No, no, no, I’ll
walk by myself, I…”
Lu Feng interrupted him. “Aren’t you too drunk to walk?”
Lu Feng kissed his brow. “Be good.”
Wei Xiao: “!”

Now, he was really a little drunk, drunk on his boyfriend’s voice, which had
the same effect as a good wine.
Then, he got even more ‘drunk’.
So drunk he was intoxicated.
Early the next morning, Wei Xiao had reason to suspect that Yuan Ze was
unhappy about losing when he came to find ‘revenge’ on them early in the
morning.
Who did training at 9AM in the morning!
There was no such thing as the morning in e-sports!
What did the sun look like at 9AM? Ask any e-sports player other than
Close whether they’ve ever seen such a thing!
Yuan Ze’s reasoning was very plausible. “The semi-finals are in two days,
are you even able to sleep? When Old Xie beats you 3:0, I’ll accompany
you in resting then, all the way until the heavens turn into a wasteland and
the earth gets old!”
FTW’s three little ones: QwQ
They had a feeling that there was something very scary behind those words.
Old G had also been injected with chicken blood. “Hurry up, hurry up, have
you guys gone over the game replay for the eight into four? Did you
analyze the problems from the second and third matches? If not, I’ll help
you guys.”
L&P had won those two matches. They might’ve lost the game, but they
couldn’t lose out on this kind of momentum. Having the chance to beat up
their opponents so soon could comfort their injured little hearts.
VIVI and the others were more subtle. They simply went into the training
room first, snatching up the best positions and starting up the training
programs to warm up.
They hadn’t found satisfaction in the eight into four game, so they would
definitely have to beat FTW up until their heads were covered in bruises
through training matches!
Wei Xiao had gone wild last night. Although he wasn’t too tired, he was
still hollowed out.
There was no helping it…
Who told his boyfriend to be increasingly capable? If he was X-ed to death,

then there was no way Close could be innocent!
Old G saw how Wei Xiao looked and quickly used his newly learned
Chinese to type out: “What’s the matter? Kidney deficiency?”
The people in the room who knew the situation: “………………”
Wei Xiao lifted his eyelids and looked at him. “Mm.”
The people in the room who knew the situation, again:

“……………………”
It really was a case of one person daring to ask, and the other daring to
answer. Have you guys considered how the insiders feel?!
After resting for a short while post breakfast, the training matches began in
earnest.
Perhaps it was because yesterday’s game had been too exciting, but
everyone was still burning with enthusiasm, and they all charged ahead at
full steam for the training matches with everyone trying their best.
It was fortunate that the investor daddies couldn’t see it, because otherwise
they would be wringing their hands and lamenting. “Stream it, open up a
live broadcast and stream it!” Imagine how much traffic they would draw
in!
It was impossible for them to stream the games, but there was no way to
avoid having onlookers for their game.
Kim Sung-hyun arrived late and helped himself to some dinner along the
way.
Yuan Ze disdained him. “Why don’t you hurry up and go back to training,
do you still have time to mess around everywhere?
The other highlight of the semi-finals was Y1 and Pro. Although they were
old opponents, it would really be difficult for Pro to win against Y1 this
year.
Y1 had an advantage against Pro, just like how Pro had an advantage over
EVE.
Their line-ups were different, so it would be difficult for them even if they
had the same level of strength. This was especially the case for those with
distinctive team styles; going up against those teams would leave them with
enough worry to fill up a cow.
Last year, Pro had had a huge advantage over EVE, using their four
protecting one line-up to beat EVE up until they were covered with bruises
all over. This year, the tables had turned and Pro was up against a difficult
opponent.
Y1’s play style was a bit like a bug. On one hand, they could drag down
reckless attack teams like L&P in the early stages, and on the other, they
could also rely on their highly balanced line-ups to kill late stage marksman
DPS teams, like Pro.
Pro and Y1 had also had countless training matches together. Kim Sung-
hyun really did have a psychological shadow when it came to Yan Jiang.
Originally, after returning back to his home country for his big brother,
Proud Flower Kim finally had his own attentive support. But he wasn’t able
to remain elated for long before getting beat up by Captain Yan until things
were made clear again.
Li Heran is protecting you?

Oh.
Pro was playing four protecting one?
Oh.
None of that could beat Yan Jiang’s precision control. If Kim Sung-hyun
was controlled, then he couldn’t deal any DPS even if he hadn’t died yet.
The purification skill had a cooldown time of nearly two minutes. Yan
Jiang’s control skills could be used every seven or eight seconds. How
could this possibly compare?
In the past, it wasn’t full-game BP, so Li Heran could still take a

purification support talent to protect Kim Sung-hyun. Now…
There were five matches, but there was only one talent that could dispel
control skills.
What’s more, dispelling the control skills might not be enough to save Kim
Sung-hyun. The other four players in Y1 had never been easy targets.
Regardless of whether it was their top-lane warrior, mid-laner mage,
jungler, or bottom lane marksman, they were all top level players. They
may not match up to the former Team of Gods, but they were a new
generation of gods!
So, for the semi-finals, Pro had an even smaller chance of winning than
FTW.
FTW had won against L&P, and they had a good chance of winning against
EVE.
EVE, in these past two years…
They’d been quite problematic.
They were one of the top four in the world and the runner up team in
Europe. Xie He showed the flair that a top level player should have, but this
team always seemed to have an inexplicable sense of discordance.
If FTW could be said to have become strong when facing weak teams and
become even stronger when up against strong teams, then EVE was super
strong against weak teams, and showed very obvious flaws against strong
teams.
If FTW could play steadily in the eight into four games, then there was
hope that they could win the semi-finals.
Of course, everyone in L&P had something to say about this. “If you don’t
win the semi-finals, we’ll take you down!”
‘You’ naturally referred to Wei Little Xiao.
Who told him to say such fierce things in front of the whole world? There
was a heavy price to pay for being so badass; wasn’t he getting ‘love and
care’ from his big brothers now?
But Wei Xiao didn’t cower. He wasn’t afraid of anything except his
boyfriend. Let alone training matches, even round robin battles weren’t a
concern for him!
Of course, he didn’t dare to say these things out loud. If he did, then his
boyfriend would let him understand what ‘fear’ was.
After having been busy for forty eight hours, Kim Sung-hyun stuck a
popsicle into his mouth and said leisurely, “You seem quite happy being a
free accompanying player.” This was aimed at Yuan Ze.
Teacher Yuan, who was exhausted from playing so hard, who hadn’t tried
this hard even for his own championship: “……”
Old G, who understood Chinese, slapped his own thigh. “Oh yeah!”
For them to act as free practice partners like this, weren’t they getting too
into it?
Wei Xiao looked at Kim Sung-hyun. “God Kim, what kind of accusations
are you levelling here!”
Kim Sung-hyun almost choked on the popsicle: Wei Little Xiao, you’re
really capable. You took advantage of others but aren’t trying to act well-
behaved, why are you acting so justified and righteous!
Scum Man Yuan, who’d been fooled for two days and had practically taken
out his heart and lungs for them, recovered his wits. “Little Lunatic Wei…”
Wei Xiao cleared his throat. “When we’re the champions, you guys will…”
Yuan Ze wasn’t going to fall for this. “Shut up!”
Wei Xiao: “…… Cough.”
These leeks had come to their senses and wouldn’t let themselves get cut
down anymore. Wei Xiao shot Lu Feng an aggrieved look.
President Lu lived up to his name as a leading capitalist. “It’s about time,

rest early.” They could toss these sets of leeks out after they were done with
them and switch to cutting down another plot of them instead.
Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up, his worship almost forming words: The captain was
much at a much higher level than him when it came to these things.
How could Yuan Ze accept this? He had to get even somehow.
This free training had to be done until the end, but he could get something
back.
What was he asking for?
He glanced at Wei Xiao, looking at how this stinky brat’s little tail was
flipped up to the sky and felt distinctively unhappy. “Play another round.”
For once, Wei Xiao fell into his trap. “More?” Come on, come on, he
wouldn’t be tired no matter how long they played. One of these training
matches was worth ten others. In just two short days, FTW had already
made progress in leaps and bounds. His confidence in winning against EVE
was reaching an unprecedented high!
Yuan Ze sounded somewhat ominous. “Yes.”
Wei Xiao could sense that something was off. He leaned towards his own
captain. “Captain Yuan, what kind of bad idea did you come up with?”
Yuan Ze picked up the big fool on his side and tossed him over to FTW.
“We’ll switch sides.”
Wei Xiao: “???”
Gary: “?????”
Scum Man Yuan’s bandit heart might not have been seen for a long time,
but it wasn’t dead.
They’d been accompanying players for so long and had taken out their
hearts and lungs to teach the other side so much. It seemed a little bit
unreasonable if they didn’t satisfy Yuan Ze’s small request.
Wei Xiao agreed magnanimously. “Okay!” It was just a temporary team

change with Gary. Playing around to relax a bit was pretty good, too.
Gary wasn’t the slightest bit sad about being abandoned by his captain.
Instead, his voice trembled with excitement. “For real? I, I get to play
with…” He wanted to be in the same team as his male god!
Two pairs of sharp eyes swept over, and Old G shut up.
Wei Xiao grew angry. “No switching!” This Old G was always coveting his
boyfriend!
Yuan Ze bonked Gary on the head. “What? Are you very aggrieved at being
in the same team with me?”
Old G: “Ah…” He was so anxious that he started to spout English.

Of course, they ended up switching teams.
The game was tomorrow. Having some fun for once would be good for
their body and minds.
Wei Xiao temporarily became L&P’s jungler king, but his eyes were filled
with ‘hatred’ for Gary.
He would change his last name if he didn’t beat him up until he exploded
tonight!
Ch253.1 - Lonely Old G cried
miserably tonight
It was an entertainment game where the audience’s enjoyment was the

primary focus, so they could pick talents fairly arbitrarily.
The fire mage blasted unexpectedly into the ban position, causing Little
Ning feelings of both happiness and delight. “Who would dare to think that
the little fire mage would be treated like this.”
It wasn’t that the fire mage couldn’t be used professionally, but that it was
never banned in a regular game.
The ban positions were limited, and there were so many strong talents they
could ban. They had to be messing around to ban a small fire mage.
Oh… They really were messing around for fun. It was the great demon king
who’d sent the fire mage up into the ban position.
Little Ning, who didn’t know the previous history, always secretly felt that
the great demon king had a special preference for the fire mage. An
illusion? It must be an illusion!
He was the high and lofty great demon king; why would he have a
preference for the little fire mage?
Insider Bai Caicai felt his mouth twitch. He felt that he’d been exposed to
an act of PDA, but he couldn’t say it.
There was too much connotation behind this kind of showing off!
Who didn’t know that LU had played the fire mage before, and who didn’t
know that Wei Xiao’s sentence ‘the pentakill is yours, and you belong to
me’ was spoken to the little fire mage!
Oh… there really wasn’t anyone who knew. It was just him who’d
happened to learn of it out of carelessness.
Wei Xiao naturally understood what he meant and was happy inside. The
sour taste that had originally built up due to Old G evaporated and
transformed into the sweet taste of sugar.
His boyfriend was always thinking about him.
Joy!
This happiness made Wei Xiao’s hands itchy. He snatched up the shadow
thief, wanting to have a solo game with his boyfriend.
Lu Feng was very cooperative and took the death knight.
The corner of Yuan Ze’s lips twitched. He always had this feeling that
something like this would happen during the game.
He hadn’t succeeded in messing with Little Lunatic Wei and had instead
been stuffed with dog food!
They weren’t on the same team, but Wei Xiao and Lu Feng still took the
double dark combo. For better or worse, Yuan Ze and Gary also took the
double berserker combo despite not being on the same team.
Kim Sung-hyun, as an onlooker: “Ha-ha.” They (the jungler kings) were

thinking about their own captains so much so why did they even bother
switching!
Especially when it came to Old Dog Yuan. Other people were switching
teams to show off their CP, what the hell were you doing?
Yuan ‘what the hell’ Ze was trying to tear down CPs.

An entertainment game wasn’t as intense, and everyone played casually and
freely. Wei Xiao even went into FTW’s jungler zone right at the start of the
game, where Gary ran into him head-on. “Did you go the wrong way!”
Wei Xiao aimed a shadow attack at his face and landed a set of damage
first. “The blue buff is mine.” The captain was his, too!
The berserker thief was a daddy in the early stages of the game. How would
he let the shadow thief bully him? The scythe danced out, wanting to beat
Wei Xiao up.
Wei Xiao was very slippery. He dodged lightly, then stabbed him in the
side.
Old G called out subconsciously, “Captain!”
His captain came, and it was really his captain.
When the berserker warrior’s axe landed on the ground and shot Gary up
into the air, Old G’s reaction: “???”
F*ck! He’d forgotten!
His captain wasn’t his own captain right now, no, the captain was still his
captain, but he wasn’t his jungler king!
Gary was having difficulty with such circular language.
Wei Xiao was angry enough to explode. “What are you calling out to my
captain for!”
Great, the little vinegar jar had overturned. He thought that Gary was
calling out to Close and felt as if he might explode on the spot at any
second now.
Perhaps the berserker thief might have been able to survive before this, but
now, Wei Xiao would never let him go no matter what. What blue buff? He
would kill this offense to the eyes named G first!
Wei Xiao took First Blood, and Gary’s soul returned to the fountain.
VIVI was laughing happily. “Old G, you can’t do it.”
He didn’t need to know too much Chinese, just one sentence was enough.
Gary: “…………”
Was it that he couldn’t do it? It was… it was… Gary glanced at the death
knight on the top lane, did he dare to say it!
Did he dare to ask Close why he hadn’t come to provide support!
Would asking be of any use?
Old G regretted it now. Being on the same team as his male god wasn’t a
happy thing at all, and he was even getting bullied by his own captain…
He was crying mammoth sized tears, got it?!
On the other side, Yuan Ze didn’t feel much better. He’d lost two lane
soldiers in order to support Little Lunatic Wei, yet as a result, the little
lunatic even bit at him indiscriminately. “You can’t even control your own
lane soldiers? Captain Yuan, who are you looking down on?”
Yuan Ze: “???”
Wei Xiao: “Are you looking down on me or looking down on my captain?”
Yuan Ze couldn’t keep up with his brain circuits for a moment.
Lu Feng continued the thread of the conversation. “He can kill him solo, so
don’t drop soldiers.”
One sentence stabbed straight through Yuan Ze and Old G’s hearts.
The meaning behind these words were obvious enough. Wei Xiao could kill
Old G on his own, so Yuan Ze didn’t need to go and provide support. He’d
also lost lane soldiers and was treating Close like a decoration in the top
lane. Lu Feng seemed to be answering Wei Xiao, but he was also telling
Gary that if Wei Xiao had been the berserker thief, then he’d have killed the
shadow thief a long time ago, and there would have been no need to go
down to provide support and lose soldiers.
Kim Sung-hyun, who was watching them play, burst out laughing.
Captain Yuan was embarrassed, hey. Captain Yuan was going to explode
from anger!
Kim Sung-hyun poked at him. “Who told you to insist on playing at

changing… teams.” Cough, he’d almost said ‘wives’ instead.
How could Yuan Ze take this lying down? He’d insisted on toying with Wei
Xiao today. He refused to believe that he couldn’t keep up with this little
lunatic!
It was true that he could keep up, but the key point was that the other party
didn’t want him to keep up.
A jungler king who had been forced over wasn’t sweet at all. Wei Xiao’s
body may have been with L&P, but his heart remained with FTW, and he
was thriving in FTW’s jungle zone.
Old G was miserable. “Don’t you want your own jungle zone?”
Wei Xiao: “This is my jungle zone.”
Gary: “……” He actually couldn’t refute it!
With his jungle zone invaded like this, Old G could only go and rob his own
jungle zone. But who could’ve known that his own captain would be on the
lookout for him?
The two of them met face to face, and the berserker warrior charged in with
bold and resolute, beating up the berserker thief like he was beating up his
own son.
Gary wailed loudly, “Captain!”

Wei Xiao grew angry again. “Calling out for help when you can’t win on
your own, Old G, be a bit more promising.” After that, he came to the river
to surround and intercept him.
Gary: “???”
VIVI’s golden Chinese sentence came out again. “Little friend, aren’t those
a lot of little question marks?”
Yes, the question marks were asking themselves!
Who would’ve dared to think that this coveted opportunity for him to play
in the same team as his male god eventually became a game of Old G
playing one against nine.
His teammates, who were on the other side, were his opponents.
The ‘teammates’ who were beside him, were also his opponents.
Lonely big boss G cried really miserably that night.
In the later stages of the game, possibly because he’d been abused too
much, Old G gradually started to feel a little enjoyment.
How should he say it…
Lu Feng and Yuan Ze’s top lane play looked similar, but only after really
experiencing it could one understand the difference.
Yuan Ze had a stronger driving force and commanding power. Like his ID,
he was a commander, and Gary was the pioneer of his army. Under Yuan
Ze’s command, he could let himself go and rush forth, breaking through the
enemy formation and helping L&P win half the game just like that.
Lu Feng was like an invisible field control force, and he exerted a huge
sense of security that shrouded the entire canyon. Of course, it gave his
opponents a huge sense of pressure and being his teammate required more
subjective initiative and judgement. They didn’t need to be afraid of making
mistakes or accidents because FTW always had an indestructible fortress
behind them, called Close.
Towards the end, all ten players were high from the game.
A skirmish between Wei Xiao and Gary in the bottom jungle zone spread
the flames of war. Everyone used their transmission skill one after another,
opening up all their skills fully as the ten players all fought fiercely!
At the end of the day, it was an entertainment game, and they didn’t care
much about winning or losing. After playing together for so many days,
they’d already become very familiar with each other. As they played, the
game eventually became a series of solo fights.
Little Ning and VIVI died together.
Bai Cai and Mo were both shot to death by the cubs on either side.
Yue Wenle’s last arrow pierced President A, and President A managed to

hang a bomb on his waist.
There was a bang, and Lele also returned to the heavens.
The top-jungler combos from both sides were still fighting.
The death knight against the berserker warrior and the berserker thief
against the shadow thief.
Because of the assists from kills, the berserker thief had already entered a
berserk state. Wei Xiao wasn’t useless, and he stacked up damage even as
people watched him set up his light arcs.
Yuan Ze suddenly spoke up. “This attitude of taking it easy is too

overboard.”
Others might not understand, but how could he not?
The death knight on the other side was acting like he was blind and didn’t
even show any intention of interrupting the shadow thief.
The pitiful Old G wouldn’t be able to interrupt Wei Xiao even if he locked
onto him and could only watch as he stacked up his marks.
Wei Xiao tsked and tossed Old G away, using shadow attack to charge at
the death knight.
Old G: “?”
Wei Xiao: “Get out of the way.”
This was spoken to the berserker warrior.
Yuan Ze had a toothache. “Damn it.”
But he still made way, turning around with his axe to chop down the
berserker thief.
Old G was still in a muddle. “What’s going on…” What happened to the
agreed upon solo?
The berserker warrior’s bold and resolute smashed onto his head. Gary
sucked in a breath and dodged, wailing repeatedly like a ghost. “Captain,
don’t take your anger out on me ahhhhhh…”
How could Yuan Ze not be angry!
Those two stuffed him full with their showiness when they were in the same
team, and when they weren’t in the same team, they still managed to show
off until his teeth ached.
This wife change… ah, no, what he meant was: where was the fun in
changing teams?
He didn’t manage to tear apart the mandarin ducks, and instead they
became even more cloying!
Ch253.2 - We’ll always keep
playing.
It had been a long time since Wei Xiao had soloed with Lu Feng. He was
quite excited about seizing this difficult-to-come-by opportunity.
In the early stages, the death knight could beat up the shadow thief in the
same way that the berserker warrior could suppress the berserker thief.
However, in the later stages, it would depend on their level of skill.
There was no need to question Close’s death knight, and Wei Xiao’s
shadow thief had also grown rapidly; his nine light arcs, which had
originally required debuffs to brush out, had gradually become something
he could brush out at will. This was especially the case in 1v1s against
Close, where his success rate had reached 99%.
Close had exhibited his famous double standards all the way to the end.
During this entire game, he hadn’t once entered direct conflict with Wei
Xiao. Even when they met in team fights, his skills would fly toward the
berserker warrior, and he hadn’t interrupted Wei Xiao’s skills once.
As Yuan Ze had said, he’d gone overboard with taking it easy on them with
acting that was good enough to compete for the golden broom (meaning
this acting was too fake and the Oscars wouldn’t accept it).
But now, Wei Xiao clearly wanted to solo with him, so the death knight
grew serious.
His heavy blade swung mercilessly, and his ability to interrupt combo
moves could only be called deadly accurate.
Wei Xiao became even more excited. He turned sideways to dodge the
death knight’s strengthened basic attack, then dodged low behind him to try
and land a new critical hit mark. Lu Feng saw through his moves at a
glance, and at the moment when his skills almost landed, he instantly
switched to his light form. His three dogs charged forth, and he shifted
slightly to avoid the shadow thief’s attack from behind.
At this time, Old G had already fallen to the ground. He watched as the
death knight and shadow thief soloed together and only felt his heart thud in
fright.
The death knight was even more on point.
The shadow thief had also become even better.
Unfortunately, the singles competition had been changed to a new

competition system. Otherwise…
Oh, there was no otherwise, because Wei Xiao and Lu Feng were on the
same team and were destined not to meet in the singles arena.
However, there was still Yuan Ze and Lu Feng!
This year’s singles competition would definitely be a showdown between

Yuan Ze and Lu Feng!
Yuan Ze, who’d killed Gary, stood far off to the side. He didn’t go up to
help Wei Xiao, or try to kill Lu Feng. He just crossed his arms over his
chest and watched on.
Fight!
Hit each other hard!
It was most lively when lovers fought each other!
The shadow thief’s health had already been seriously cut down by the death
knight by the time he was finally able to brush out his light arcs.
Lu Feng withstood the damage from the nine light arcs to take away his
own jungler king’s life with his blade.
The shadow thief fell to the ground, but his light arcs were still there. The
death knight was bathed in the light arcs, and his health bar plummeted
downwards. At the last moment, he stabbed his long blade into the ground
to hold up his bloody, battered body.
A life like death and a death like life.
The death knight would never fall.
At the end, only Yuan Ze was left alive.
Kim Sung-hyun sneered. “Feeling great?”
Yuan Ze: “Like hell!”
Sure enough, changing wives… oh, wait, changing teams wouldn’t make
one happy!
Old G came running back in tears. “Captain, you’re still the best!”
Don’t ask, if you asked, then he wanted to beat someone up.
This lively and enthusiastic entertainment game ended, and the semi-finals
finally arrived.
The first day’s game was between Y1 and Pro.
Kim Sung-hyun was in an unexpectedly calm mood. He had even been in

the mood to watch L&P and FTW’s entertainment game two nights ago,
which was enough to prove that he was mentally in a good place.
Did he think that he could win?
It wasn’t that he felt that he could lose.

It was just that after going through a season and watching as FTW climbed
up step by step from their slump, his mentality had changed a lot.
Out of the four people who’d left the Team of Gods, Kim Sung-hyun had
been the most uncontroversial one.
He was the one who’d wanted to return home long before his contract
expired. Although people couldn’t bear to part with him, they also
understood, and even the fans didn’t scold him.
Kim Sung-hyun had done his best while in the Team of Gods, and it was
understandable that he would want to return home to continue playing.
However, Kim Sung-hyun had still felt guilty at the time.
His thoughts were different from Yuan Ze. He felt that if he hadn’t wanted
to return home, and if he hadn’t wanted to leave, then maybe the stupid
higher ups at the management level wouldn’t have been so excessive.
Kim Sung-hyun’s departure had been the ** that started the collapse of
FTW’s management team.
After the peak, there was only decline.
The five members of the Team of Gods were all unruly, difficult characters,
and the management team couldn’t be certain that they could keep the Team
of Gods.
Instead of waiting until they left, they might as well take this opportunity to
have the players change hands, making a final bit of profit.
With just this kind of thinking––
––They brutally dismembered FTW.
Kim Sung-hyun couldn’t help thinking; if he hadn’t left, would things have
been different?
But there was no ‘if’. Everyone was responsible for their own choices.
Notwithstanding the fact that it was impossible for him to stay.
Li Heran was waiting for him when he went back to the dormitory.
Kim Sung-hyun accepted the cup of milk he held in his hand, gulped down
half of it, then said, “Big brother, how much longer can we play for?”
The moonlight spread out over the youth’s shoulders, stretching out over his
figure.
Li Heran answered quietly, “We’ll always keep playing.”
Just these five words were enough to make Kim Sung-hyun’s compressed
lips curve upwards. He turned around, leaning his elbows on the railing as
he looked out at the distant lights. “Go have surgery after this game.”
Li Heran looked up abruptly.
Kim Sung-hyun didn’t look at him, but his voice was very firm. “I can
handle the domestic games.”
Li Heran’s voice was a little hoarse. “But..”
Kim Sung-hyun turned his head to look at him. “Didn’t you say we’ll
always keep playing?”
Li Heran fell silent.
Kim Sung-hyun continued. “Fix your wrist, then let’s have a proper
competition!”
He’d figured it out. This time, he’d really thought it through.
The championship that he wanted wasn’t a one person championship.

Neither was it a championship where Li Heran stayed with him and they
scraped out a win that belonged to the ADC.
He wanted a real championship, a full and satisfying victory by Pro when

they were in their best state, a happy and hearty world championship!
Just like FTW, like Lu Feng.
If Wei Xiao could do it, then so could he.
If Lu Feng could do it, then Big Brother Heran could do it too!
Li Heran looked at him and agreed. “Mm.”
He’d use half a year’s time to fix his wrist, so they could play to their
satisfaction next season!
The semi-finals were at 6PM in the evening. At noon, FTW’s chef went to
the old base and earnestly cooked a pre-competition meal for Pro.
Wei Xiao began by comforting Old Park. “Eat this, my success rate of
invading the other side’s jungle zone is 100% whenever I eat it!”
Park Guizhi stared at the unknown object in front of him. “This…”
Kim Sung-hyun glanced over and explained it to him in Korean.
Once he heard that it was the mystical animal viscera dish, Park Guizhi’s
reaction was: “…………”
Forget it, forget it. He might not be able to invade the jungle, but he
definitely didn’t want to eat pork liver!
God Kim, who’d lived in China before, was different. There was nothing he
didn’t dare to eat, and he was very good at trying things. He was just like a
gourmet. “It’s delicious. Eating liver helps the eyes. The little lunatic didn’t
lie to you.”
Park Guizhi: Although I don’t quite understand, would it mean that I can
see more clearly after eating it? Could it even take effect so quickly?
Seeing that Kim Sung-hyun was eating a lot, Yuan Ze stared at him. “Hold
back a bit, are you going to go look for a toilet in the canyon later?”
Kim Sung-hyun stared back at him. “You don’t need to concern yourself
with that, eighth place.”
Yuan Ze: “…………”
He really wanted to destroy a certain flower with his own hands, what
should he do!
FTW didn’t go to watch the semi-finals between Y1 and Pro at the scene
since their game with EVE was the next day. They had to take advantage of
every minute and every second. Miracles might happen as they tried to
improve themselves prior to the game.
But not going to the scene didn’t mean they wouldn’t watch the game.
Watching such a wonderful game between the two teams may help them
come up with new ideas.
It was just that they stayed at the base to watch the live broadcast in order to
save time on traveling back and forth.
No one from FTW went to the scene, but everyone from L&P went.
They managed to get insider tickets and sat separately in order to hide from
prying eyes and ears. VIVI and AA were heavily armed with caps, big
sunglasses, and masks.
Yuan Ze refused to follow suit. He’d stopped at the top eight, but he was
still the most badass guy in North America. At most, he’d wear a cap to
block out the sun, but the rest of the gear certainly didn’t deserve to cover
up his handsome face.
Old G tried to persuade him to cover up, but Yuan Ze glanced at him.
“Would it be of any use?”
Gary: “It would! Look at me, who would recognize me?”
Just based on your big figure, your white arms, who the hell wouldn’t be
able to tell!
Yuan Ze rolled his eyes. “What about the earring?”
Gary: “…………”
Yuan Ze strode into the audience stands.
What was the point in blocking out his face? No matter how severe it was,
it wouldn’t be able to hide the champion earring.
The five players from FTW skipped over the official warm-up segment and
the star appearances. By the time they started watching the live broadcast,
the players had already been seated, and the competition interface was
loading up.
The host gave a bilingual introduction of the players.
In fact, there was really no need to introduce them. They were all peak
Glory teams, and even passers-by would know their names. The
introduction was just a matter of going through the motions.
Little Ning made a comment. “Quas has a nice hair color.”
Quas was Y1’s mid-laner, and his silver hair was very bright. It wasn’t like
Little Ning’s granny gray, but rather a dazzling silver, which looked bright
against his pale skin.
After the camera swept around, it finally fixed on Yan Jiang.
Yan Jiang still looked the same as usual. He was like an icy spring no
matter how big the competition venue was or how lively the occasion was.
He always remained cool, calm, and cold.
There were very few people and things that interested him.
That was why the attention he paid to Wei Xiao had surprised so many
people during the opening game for the singles competition mode.
After the interface finished loading, both sides began to choose their talents.
The first match, the battle of freedom. What kind of line-up would they
come up with?
Even without mentioning the audience, Wei Xiao and the others were also
looking forward to it.
“Will Captain Yan use the soul warlock?” Wei Xiao’s tone held a bit of
excitement.
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
His voice had just rung out when Yan Jiang locked in the soul warlock.
Even those who weren’t at the scene could imagine how fired up the
audience was!
The soul warlock had come out again and was being used by the world’s
number one support player in the global semi-finals.
There would be good things to watch!
Wei Xiao’s eyes were burning. “Great, we can take a look at their line-up.”
If they could learn it, then they would’ve really gained a lot!
Regardless of whether it was against EVE tomorrow or the global finals,

FTW would definitely use the soul warlock line-up again. Being able to
improve it ahead of time would be great!

However, three years had already passed…

China hadn’t won another global team competition championship cup.

Someone immediately spoke up on the team communication channel.

“The cows are flying…”

“The people on the ground are blowing.”

“Acting like the wind…”

“Blowing until their face hurts.”

Won against God Lu?

Why don’t you say that you’ve saved the galaxy!

Wei Xiao took the opportunity to advertise: “Memeda accompanying player

This godly, amazing thief was actually an accompanying player?

An accompanying player with a sky-high, amazing price.

What the hell was this, 200 a game?!

Why didn’t he just go up to heaven!

After playing a match, Wei Xiao was a little sleepy again.

Wei Xiao looked at it intently and fell into a daze.

The 2 million yuan was shiny and dazzling.

Juurensha: I see Close is using his prize money well.

in any case, enjoy!

Wei Xiao: “…………”

Wei Xiao: “Yep, it’s not a dream.”

Soybean, whose doggy nose bumped against the door: “Arooarooaroo?”

A full two hundred thousand yuan!

He asked patiently, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll trick you?”

“What if my skills suck?”

“You can do it.”

“You believe me just like that?”

Wei Xiao: “I mean, why did you choose me?”

Wei Xiao: “What?”

Wei Xiao: “………………”

“Then…” Wei Xiao asked tentatively, “Let’s play a match?”

LU: “No rush.”

Wei Xiao: “When will Boss be free?”

“See you at 1:30.”

Sleeping could go to hell!

How could he sleep when something so big had happened?!

Wei Xiao tabbed out of the accompanying gaming platform, opened up

F*ck, he was about to pee his pants from fear!

“It’s Wei Xiao?”

He wasn’t pregnant, but he was soon about to miscarry!!!

Lu Feng: “What did he say.”

Bai Cai: “This…”

Lu Feng’s eyelids lifted slightly, “Inconvenient?”

Bai Cai: “………”

He fell into a daze even before he finished speaking.

What the hell?
