Chapter 230: 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.

Yan Jiang: “……”

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!”

platform.

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?
