Chapter 25 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.
