Chapter 92 The future was promising.

Name:Glory Author:Long Qi
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.”

Bai Cai: “……”

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!”

Lu Feng: “…….”

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…”

Lu Feng: “…….”

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…

Ning Zhehan: “……”

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.”

Wei Xiao: “……”

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
