Chapter 238.1: What he wanted was for one plus one to equal at least four!

Wei Xiao still hadn’t finished expressing his thoughts when he had to step down from the stage.

After he went back, he whispered quietly to Lu Feng, “I still have a lot to say.”

Brother Cai’s mouth twitched: Aren’t you going to come out of the closet in front of the whole world if you keep talking!

Lu Feng held his hand lightly in a way so no one could see. “Talk when we get back.”

Wei Xiao: “!”

Lu Feng coaxed him using a very gentle tone, “Tell only me.”

These three words made Wei Little Xiao fly up to heaven on the spot. The hair on his head trembled. “Okay~” he lilted, his tone was sweet and crisp, like sweet milk chocolate.

Brother Cai: “…… I often suspect that I should just settle in under the table!

There were three games a day for the sixteen into eight part of the competition. The second game had been FTW vs IN, and the third game was L&P against the JL competition zone’s champion team.

Everyone from FTW stayed in the lounge to watch the game.

At first, Wei Xiao had still been in high spirits, wanting to see L&P’s tactics. However, the team from the JL competition zone was really timid. They were clearly afraid of Yuan Ze and Gary, and they faced the battle of freedom with dignified expressions, acting like they’d seen a ghost as soon as they saw the shadow thief and death knight combination.

The death knight in the top lane and the death knight that played jungler were like two different heroes in Teacher Yuan’s hands.

How crappy he was during the casual game, was equal to how amazing he was during the proper game.

Oh, calling it amazing was too subtle. He was f*cking ARROGANT, written in capital letters. It was like he had a sign over his head saying that he was the best in the world.

Wei Xiao: “If I was JL’s top laner, I would definitely hammer him into exploding!”

Bandit Yuan was too arrogant. Wei Xiao’s hands were itching to abuse him.

Unfortunately, JL’s top-laner didn’t have the courage that Wei Xiao had. Forget about abusing Yuan Ze, he was basically pressed to the ground and being smeared around.

L&P acted leisurely from the start. By the time Gary began to support the top lane like crazy, the entire L&P had become just like their team name, leaving only love and peace in the game.

Love was the top-jungler linkage.

Peace was the mid and bottom lanes in L&P.

As for the other side?

They were the opposite––

Abuse and death.

Wei Xiao felt that it was boring to watch. Based on this game, it was better to…

“Captain~”

“Hm?”

“Solo!”

Ever since Brother Cai learned of the relationship between the two, he could no longer bear to hear the word solo. He always felt that it wasn’t pure and innocent, and it was no longer the same hot-blooded sport.

Emm…. In a sense, it was also a bit passionate, and it also occurred between men.

Holy shit! Stop!

What was a straight man like him thinking about these things for!

Obviously, there was no room for them to solo in the lounge even if Wei Xiao wanted to play.

Lu Feng: “Not watching the game?”

Wei Xiao was very dismissive. “There’s nothing to watch.”

Could Old Dog Yuan lose? If they lost, then he would laugh at Gary for a full year!

Old G: “???”

Why is it me!

Lu Feng glanced at the time. “Let’s go.”

It really was meaningless to keep watching. It was a one-sided suppression game, and L&P hadn’t even used 60% of their strength.

They weren’t like FTW, who still needed to practice new tactics in the sixteen into eight game. L&P’s line-up and system was already mature. Why would they have to use the new talents?

Weren’t the pre-existing 100 plus talents good? Any set of line-ups using those talents were already enough to beat their opponents up.

It was still early by the time they returned back to the base. The timing for the global competition was very tight. They had games for sixteen into eight that day, and the following three days were filled with more of the same. There were a total of eight games packed into four days, and the top eight list would be released by the weekend.

Oh, FTW had already been shortlisted, but they didn’t know who their next opponent would be.

Everyone was clear about the situation even without Chen Feng’s reminder.

The sixteen to eight was the easiest game to play. They would face nothing but hard battles after this.

Eight into four, four into two, and the finals were all games where a bit of luck would be involved even if they put in 300% effort.

Although the results of the draw for the top four was unclear, FTW couldn’t just rely on luck.

The eight teams that made it into the shortlist were traditionally put up against one of the top four.

It meant that last year’s top four wouldn’t be up against each other when their opponents were selected for the eight into four. Of course, if the top four stopped at the sixteen into eight, then it would be another story.

However, who were the top four from last year?

Y1, EVE, L&P, Pro.

Would these four teams lose in the sixteen to eight?

Impossible.

So, FTW would face one of these four teams.

As for who it was…

Unimportant.

––Because any one of the four teams was a hard bone to chew. The results would be difficult to predict even with FTW trying their best.

When faced with such a tense situation, the little ones wouldn’t be willing to rest even when it hit two or three o’clock in the morning, let alone when it was only ten in the evening.

Dinner could be skipped, and all they wanted to do was improve themselves further during this limited time.

Chen Feng didn’t rush to go over the game replay and had them go train instead.

Wei Xiao pulled Lu Feng along with him to solo, while the three little ones went to the international servers to solo queue. They used the same talents from the battle of freedom.

Chen Feng strolled around the training room and felt very happy looking upon this scene.

FTW might have performed amazingly tonight, and they’d shocked the whole world with their battle of freedom, but…

There were many practical problems.

Laymen watched the excitement, while the experts examined the details.

Chen Feng had already filled two pieces of paper with his summary, but Ning Zhehan, Yue Wenle, and the others could also sense their own shortcomings.

Testing their new line-up during the sixteen to eighteen was crazy, but it was indeed effective.

They really wouldn’t have been able to see so many problems if they hadn’t taken it out and used it.

IN had been cautious on the surface even while they had been looking down on the enemy in their hearts. In particular, they had really looked down on Bai Cai, believing that his power thief was just decorative. They hadn’t taken him seriously, so they’d ended up ganked by Wei Xiao and Bai Cai at the start of the game.

This routine could only be used once. There was a global live broadcast, and everyone could have seen their game. They all now understood that Brother Cai wasn’t messing around with his power thief.

In that case, they wouldn’t be able to trick their opponents so easily next time, no matter who they went up against.

What’s more, who were they going to encounter in the next game?

Yuan Ze and Gary?

They could hammer Brother Vegetable until he went into seclusion.

EVE’s CC and Miller?

Xie He could go from the mid-lane straight into the jungle zone and get a double kill.

Pro’s Park Guizhi wasn’t easy to provoke, either. Wei Xiao’s jungler might be a bit more fierce, but he was more than enough when it came to abusing a vegetable.

And there was no need to mention Y1. They might use a soul warlock themselves, but their jungler wouldn’t be a support who switched roles halfway!

They were all old pros. Wei Little Xiao and Bai Caicai’s little tricks were nothing but child’s play in their eyes.

So, the problems with the soul warlock had been exposed.

It was too weak before level 6.

How weak was it?

Not only did Wei Xiao lack the power to even truss up a chicken, even the shadow thief and the immortal warlock had to develop sufficiently to obtain their ultimate moves. It was already pretty good if they didn’t miss any of their lane soldiers; how could they also support the jungle zones?

Forget it, forget it, that wasn’t providing support, it was giving out a triple kill.

The storm hunter was strong in the early stages, but an ADC couldn’t provide support in the top-jungler zone so early in the game.

Providing support across the map would affect many aspects of their development, and the gain wasn’t worth the loss.

So…

What should they do?

How could they compensate for this problem?

Chen Feng stopped by Bai Cai’s side and stared at his screen.

Brother Cai was playing jungler with the power thief in the international server.

His power thief had a national server badge, but Wei Xiao had been the one to get it for him. It wasn’t worth much.

Brother Cai could play somewhat effectively in a casual game, but this level of awareness and operations…

Yuan Ze could kill three of him with a single attack.

Building up a jungler king in four or five days was impossible.

The soul warlock system would break into shattered pieces if it was beaten into collapse before level six.

Then, what should they do?

Chen Feng was a bit worried.

The players had come up with such a good system and played out such a good effect. The coaching team should help them improve the overall planning for the routine and help them refine it. Otherwise, what use were they?

Not only was Chen Feng thinking about this, Wei Xiao’s brain also hadn’t stopped for a moment.

He soloed with Lu Feng while mulling over today’s game.

What could be sensed by those on the court was quite different from those off the court. As the absolute core of this system, Wei Xiao’s feelings were deeper than anyone else’s.

Although everyone was saying it was good and everyone was cheering and the audience had let it all get to their heads––

––Wei Xiao knew that he hadn’t played out the desired effect.

Double thousand layers of clouds, double stepping on raindrops, and double light arcs wasn’t what he wanted.

What he wanted was a bigger jump in improvement.

Not just the effect of having flowers bloom wherever he went.

What was the difference between the soul warlock and an ordinary jungler?

It was all based on being able to gank, catch people, and fight for rhythm.

Wei Xiao hoped that the whole team would take a considerable leap. It should be that the soul warlock gave more to his teammates, rather than a simple one plus one equals two.

What he wanted was for one plus one to equal at least four!

What did a small bit of improvement amount to? What he wanted was for the team to take on a whole new level of awareness.

Just take a little more time.

Even if it was just a month, it would be enough.

Sigh…

Wei Xiao exhaled, suppressing this regret and paying attention to the present.

No one would wait for you, and no one would give you more time.

It was the same for everyone. The ability to grasp the present meant that they could control their future.

The screen went dark. Wei Xiao had been stabbed to death by his boyfriend once again.

Lu Feng looked at him. “Continue?”

Wei Xiao: “Continue!”

In fact, Lu Feng knew that Wei Xiao was playing absent-mindedly, and he knew that he was thinking things through.

But it didn’t matter.

It was unknown when it’d started, but solo between the two of them had become a way for them to relax and think.

Their entire person became absorbed in the competition in the canyon, but it somehow also helped them think.
