Chapter 64 I just want to mess with you.

Wei Xiao had ‘suffered’ all afternoon, but he was now very excited. He spoke to Bai Cai, “Wait.”

Bai Cai kept having the feeling that what would happen next wouldn’t be the money transfer that he wanted.

Sure enough…

Wei Xiao said, “If they win, I’ll transfer you 20,000.”

Bai Cai: “……………”

Could you f*cking act like a person? Why did they have to win for him to make money? Shouldn’t he get money if Wei Xiao won?!

Wait, Bai Cai felt that he’d been led off track.

It was Yuan Ze and Gary! Were these two not worth 10,000?!

Wei Xiao really did look down on them a bit.

After experiencing the world’s number one, he always felt that these other mixed teams were lacking a little something.

There was no doubting Yuan Ze and Gary’s personal strength, but their doubles play…

In any case, it wasn’t in the same class as the Koi team!

Kim Sung-hyun would often hold training matches with them, but it was mostly for the sake of feeling out their tactics and getting a grasp on their 5v5 strategies.

Of course, having something was better than having nothing. Wei Xiao’s spirit was still filled with energy!

FTW was the red team. Close used the death knight, and Quiet used the shadow thief.

On the blue team, Marshal used the berserker warrior, and Gary used the hidden thief.

Death knight & shadow thief vs berserker warrior & hidden thief.

There was nothing to be said about this line-up. They just needed to fight!

Due to the official blog post that FTW had sent out at noon, many people were stalking their live broadcast feeds. After seeing that Lu Feng and Wei Xiao were double queuing, their feed had attracted countless fans.

At first, the CP fans were just happy to enjoy the sugar, but then the technical fans and business fans had all arrived to see the great demon king’s top-lane and the little demon king’s jungler.

They wouldn’t have known if they didn’t look, but then they were shocked after watching. What was this!

2 against 4, but they just chased after the other side as the four tried to run away, what was going on?!

Everyone said that the winter training server was filled with first-class professional players. If they were this crappy, shouldn’t they just go back home to farm?!

The haters didn’t believe that it was because FTW’s top lane and jungler who were so strong; they only blamed their opponents for being too weak and not deserving to win.

But now, it was great. White Cabbage’s little hands had clicked the match button and drawn two of the real powerhouses in the league.

Last year’s individual competition runner up, Gary, and his team captain, Yuan Ze.

The haters were all excited, “Look! FTW is going to show their true face now!”

“I bet Quiet will be chased and hammered by Gary.”

“I’m not betting. It’s not worth betting on something so obvious.”

“What are you watching Quiet for? Take a look at Close and Marshal, okay? It’s the battle of the century between immortals, isn’t it interesting?!”

Interesting, very interesting. It was to the point where many popular anchors stopped queueing for their own games and switched to observation mode to act as temporary commentators.

However, it wasn’t long before the haters were drawn to Quiet.

They all said that they wouldn’t watch him, that he wasn’t worth watching, and it wasn’t interesting, but later…

It was really damned interesting!

What duel of the century? Just look at the little lunatic’s bravery and resourcefulness as he took over the entire arena!

There were four different talents in the canyon, all of which were high DPS with high explosive power. As long as they were developed well, they could all take away someone’s life with a set of skills.

There was no need to mention the shadow thief who could create light arcs by linking up skills; once the nine light arcs dropped down, it could block gods and kill buddhas.

Updated from novelhall[.]com

The death knight’s full name was the ‘Knight of Death’. It had two forms and eight skills in total. One form was light and agile, and the other dealt heavy damage and control. It could retreat and attack, and its mobility could make the other side all kinds of unhappy.　

The hidden thief and shadow thief were both talent specs that had high upper limits when it came to maneuvers. Once the hidden thief could create a clone of itself, it would be like fighting one against two. The key point was that opponents couldn’t tell which one was the real one. If they didn’t play well, they would end up wasting all their skills on the clone.

The berserker warrior was a veritable 1v1 daddy. Its ultimate move was like a true one-hit KO. As long as it landed accurately, it didn’t matter who the opponent was because they’d then be a corpse lying dead on the ground.

Shadow thief vs hidden thief.

Death knight vs berserker warrior.

Even just from the talent choices, the audience could already smell the shocking stinging scent of gunpowder!

And neither side let the audience down. A fierce fight broke out right at the start!

In the jungle area, Wei Xiao and Gary started fighting right away. The two of them exchanged attacks even before the first little bear was killed.

Gary might be silly and dazed in real life, but he was very clever and alert in the game. His positioning was extremely exquisite, and he was able to deal damage to the little monster and Wei Xiao at the same time.

Snatching up jungle monsters was equivalent to farming money. Only by farming could one upgrade and buy equipment. If they were able to get enough money to buy equipment even one second earlier than their opponent, then the damage they dealt would be able to skyrocket and crush the other party!

Gary wanted to scare Wei Xiao into retreat and also take advantage of the situation to clear out the jungle. His little abacus made tinny, clacking sounds with his calculations.

Unfortunately…

Wei Xiao, who wasn’t short on money in real life, was even more thrifty than Bai Cai when it came to the game.

Trying to trick him out of his jungle monster? Dream on!

The two of them poked at each other, and the little bear was teased miserably.

The hidden thief took it down to half health. Seeing that the little bear was about to topple, the shadow thief charged out and landed a set of damage skills on the hidden thief. The hidden thief was worried that the bear would be snatched away and could only fight back.

So, the little bear went back to its cave and healed itself back to full health.

The shadow thief was the next one to go and play with it, but when it only had a third of its health left and was about to give up its life, the hidden thief charged out to make trouble. The shadow thief tossed the little bear aside and switched to fight with the hidden thief instead.

The live stream commentators: “I don’t know why, but my heart really aches for that bear.”

The scrolling comments all expressed one after another, “What did the little bear do wrong? Why does it have to be teased like this?!”

“They’re really worse than beasts! They’re not even letting off a bear!”

“Please take a look at the lane. I feel that the soldiers from both sides are also very miserable…”

The jungle zone was where the two junglers ‘abused small animals’, and in the lane there were two daddies bullying the little soldiers.

The soldiers in the canyon were hard working and walked forward steadily day after day, heading constantly towards their death.

Today, however, there were many difficulties during their journey. They were either killed before they even stepped out from beneath the tower or they were dragged around with only a sliver of health left and not allowed to die.

The so-called ‘killing soldiers’ meant that players would only receive experience and money when they were the ones to deal the death blow to the soldier.

Top-level lane fighting was where players themselves didn’t miss a single soldier while also trying to ensure that the other party couldn’t get any. This way, the gap in farming experience and money would soon grow, and it would become easy to crush one’s opponent.

The death knight and berserker warrior in the lane went back and forth. Neither of them had ultimate moves, but they were still able to play out an aura that made it seem like they had thousands of troops behind thim. Neither side was willing to let the other go, and neither was willing to give up any of their soldiers, yet neither side could gain the upper hand.

They were about to reach level six. Someone finally spoke out the truth, “It’s clearly a doubles match. How come it feels like we’re watching two solo games?”

That’s right!

It was clearly a 2v2 game, but these four people were playing it like a solo match.

Lu Feng and Yuan Ze were on par with each other.

Wei Xiao and Gary were also at the same level.

The situation was at a stalemate, but because there was so much detail involved in the players’ operations, it made it incredibly interesting to watch.

This kind of game where it was completely unclear who would win or lose was the type that made the audience feel the most tense and nervous!

“They’re at level six!” One temporary commentator spoke up, “The four of them reached level six at the same time, amazing!”

Level six meant that they now had ultimate moves. The four heroes in the arena really let loose.

If everything prior was simply small skirmishes, now…

Wei Xiao spoke to Lu Feng, “Captain!”

Lu Feng: “Mm.”

In fact, even before Wei Xiao had opened his mouth, Lu Feng had already used a movement skill.

The death knight’s original form was far more mobile than that of the berserker warrior. By the time Yuan Ze realized it, it was already too late.

“Old G, run!”

Gary was very keen. This man, who’d been unwilling to let go of even a small jungle monster just now, immediately entered stealth and used a skill, instantly pulling away from the shadow thief.

Wei Xiao chuckled, “Got you!”

The scene that unfolded next shocked the audience into a daze.

“They lured the tiger away from the mountain!”

Indeed, the death knight’s first movement skill seemed like it was about to cooperate with Wei Xiao to attack Gary, but its second movement skill and flash took it straight into the berserker warrior’s face.

Attacking Gary had been a bluff. The real attack was aimed at Yuan Ze.

Yuan Ze was stunned and cursed, “F*ck!”

He reacted extremely quickly and used his ultimate move to get rid of the death knight’s control skill and fight back at the same time.

However, the shadow thief was right behind him. After landing a full set of linked skills, eight light arcs exploded over half the canyon.

Yuan Ze’s eyes were wide open as he watched his health drop. He clicked on the heal skill and attempted to use this small amount of health to retreat.

But, how could Lu Feng give him this chance? The death knight switched forms and stabbed accurately at the berserker warrior.

Even if the berserker warrior was in a berserk state, Yuan Ze’s small amount of health still wasn’t enough to hold up against the death knight’s attack.

Gary, who’d fallen into their trap, rushed over, but how could there be any way for him to save his captain?

First Blood!

Close killed Marshal and took first blood!

The audience was high, “Beautiful!”

“There’s substance behind this cooperation!”

“I really never thought that my great demon king’s acting skills were so outstanding.”

“Not to mention God Yuan. As someone who was watching from God’s perspective, even I believed that they were going to go for Gary.”

“I didn’t expect that at all…”

“I thought Close’s black hole only worked in individual matches.”

Close’s black hole was a nickname that other players had given him, because he was really black hearted and fierce in the individual competitions. He could play around with the other side until they were going around in circles and didn’t even know how they’d lost.

So, they’d given him a title––Black Hole Close.

Previously, they’d never seen him trick others outside of the individual competitions, but now…

How cool!

Some fans couldn’t help but think further, “If my great demon king can use his black hole in 5v5…”

“If that’s the case, then who cares about Y1? The world championships will be ours!”

“Hey, upstairs, you really know how to talk, tell me more!”

The audience only saw how FTW had taken the lead, but inside the training room, Chen Feng was dazed for a long time.

Updated from novelhall[.]com

He’d been standing behind Lu Feng ever since the start of the game. He’d been listening to their communication while watching their match.

At the start, Wei Xiao had said to Lu Feng, “Captain, don’t treat me like a person in this game.”

Chen Feng had just wanted to knock on his little head: What kind of words were those!

Then, he heard Wei Xiao continue, “Just let loose and fight. I’ll cooperate with you.”

He knew where the problem lay in Lu Feng’s doubles competitions. The rhythm would drag if he cooperated with his teammates, but if he didn’t cooperate with his teammate, they would also fall behind. That was why it was difficult for him to win in a doubles game against strong teams.

Wei Xiao didn’t want Lu Feng to wait for him; he would catch up to him on his own. That was why he told him not to treat him like a person.

Lu Feng’s lips curved. He asked back, “Want to win?”

Wei Xiao: “Of course!”

Lu Feng: “Let’s act out a play.”

Wei Xiaoxiao’s ears perked up, “Eh?”

Lu Feng spoke slowly, “Like this…”

As everyone knew, Lu Feng’s specialty was solo, and Wei Xiao’s favorite was also solo.

Solo was almost synonymous with the two of them, especially for those who were familiar with them.

For example, Yuan Ze and Gary.

At the start of the match, they’d separated to face their opponents and turned a proper doubles match into two solo games. Wei Xiao and Lu Feng had done this intentionally.

In order to give Yuan Ze and Gary an illusion.

How cool was it to fight alone? What kind of teammate support did they need?

When the time came, the two of them, who had seemed to have agreed to fight individually, made a feint, scared Gary away, and besieged Yuan Ze!

Inside the L&P training room.

Old G was grumpy, “They tricked me!”

Yuan Ze had a cigarette in his mouth. Although he’d been tricked, there was a smile hanging on his lips, “Soulmates, hey.”

Gary: ???”

Don’t use the fact that his Chinese wasn’t good to bully him; these words were clearly used for lovers!

Yuan Ze put out the mostly finished cigarette in the ashtray and grew serious, “I’ll take Little Quiet.”

Gary: “!”

Yuan Ze stared at the unreserved, willful crimson shadow thief on the screen and said, “Don’t you want to solo with Close?”

Gary: “But…”

He was even more interested in finding Quiet and getting even!

Yuan Ze narrowed his eyes, “I’ll teach you another idiom.”

Old G: “Ah?”

Yuan Ze resurrected. After switching forms, he shot his blade towards the two people on the opposing side. His voice rang full of excitement amidst the attacks, “Beating up mandarin ducks.”

xiin: Yuan Ze is so grumpy…
