Glory [e-sports]

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.

Asleep: “……”

Cong Yi: “Alright, alright, alright, hammer him to death.”

Asleep: “……”

Cong Yi: “Yes, yes, yes, kill him ten million times.”

Asleep: “……”

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.

But the truth was…

In FTW’s team chat.

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.”

Everyone: “………”

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?

System Announcement––

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?)
