Chapter 67: Wei Xiao: Hey, I care about the captain the most
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…”
Lu Feng: “Wei Xiao.”
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.”
Wei Xiao: “’Kay.”
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: “…….”
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!
