Chapter 224
Wei Xiao and Bai Cai went to the backstage lounge to meet up with Lu Feng, who’d just gotten off the arena stage.
Wei Xiao rushed over to hug Lu Feng despite the staff members around them.
Fortunately, everyone was so excited that they didn’t think too much of it; they were just very moved by his actions. They felt that the mood within FTW was really good and that there were sincere and enthusiastic feelings among the players of the team.
Brother Cai shivered, then accepted the things that had to be dealt with from the staff members’ hands before hurriedly closing the door.
Although there was no one else in the lounge, Wei Xiao still didn’t dare to kiss Lu Feng.
There was still surveillance!
No matter how excited he was, Wei Xiao was still cautious about such things.
It was one thing for fans to ship CPs and faint over them, but coming out of the closet was something else entirely.
Wei Xiao wouldn’t joke around with Lu Feng’s future.
Lu Feng noticed his red and swollen eyes, and his voice was warm when he spoke, “It’s just an exhibition game.”
Wei Xiao shook his head. “It’s the last singles game.”
Lu Feng understood what he meant.
This was indeed the last singles game. There was no trophy for it and no bonus either, but it belonged to the last singles game of the old era.
The crimson blood blade had defeated the nightmare of god (skin names).
Close had conquered his old self.
The missing goodbye from three years ago had finally been made up for.
Only by saying farewell and putting down the past could one lighten up and win the future!
Wei Xiao wasn’t the type who put on affectations. He’d already cried, and he’d already gotten excited. What was left now was only excitement.
“I have to say, Captain, you were too handsome just now!”
Brother Cai: “……” He really wanted to take the camera with him and sneak out!
Lu Feng smiled.
Wei Xiao was unable to stop his rainbow farts. As soon as his rainbow fart switch was turned on, it would put even commentator Brother Mouth to shame.
It was super professional, super awesome, and held thorough analysis. It even…
Gary, who was in the other backstage lounge, sneezed. “I suspect that Little Lunatic Q is cursing me.”
Yuan Ze: “Don’t be silly, get rid of the ‘suspect’ part.”
Gary: “…………”
They were both singles competition players, but why was the difference in treatment so big after they returned backstage!
It was bad enough that there was no one to coax him after he lost the game, but he even had to face his captain’s howling storm.
Old G felt bitterness in his heart!
In fact, Gary was also quite regretful. Although he knew he couldn’t win, it was difficult to reconcile himself to this loss.
This really wasn’t a simple performance game; it also meant a lot to him.
This year’s singles competition still followed the old rules where each team could only register one player, while the regional competition had been cancelled, and singles competition would be held directly on a global scale.
Yuan Ze had signed up for this year’s singles competition, and Old G had been willing to give up his quota. Although Yuan Ze had also signed up for the doubles competition with him, this meant that Gary was doomed to miss the singles competition this year.
This opening match was his first and last singles game today, and he’d lost like that…
Yuan Ze patted him on the forehead. “Your big brother will avenge you.”
Old G’s heart felt warm.
Alright then!
His skills were inferior and he deserved to lose, but the captain would definitely screw over Close.
Gary cheered up again!

Lu Feng was helpless against him. “Did you run out of composition paper while studying?”
Wei Xiao: “??”
Lu Feng laughed at him, “With such a large vocabulary, is 800 words enough?”
Wei Xiao smiled until his eyes curved, speaking in a low voice, “Before I met you, I treated each word like gold.”
The surveillance was unable to catch sound, but Brother Cai was able to hear it!
Caicai, who’d just been forcibly choked with a belly full of dog food, just wanted to make a break for the door.
For better or worse, they finally made it to the audience stands.
The doubles opening game still had to be watched. Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran were old acquaintances, and Asleep and Cong Yi were fellow brothers. Regardless of whether it was from the perspective of learning or supporting their brothers, both reasons meant that they should watch the game.
When they sat down, there was an extra Li Chun beside them.
Li Chun was nervous and anxious and couldn’t sit still.
Wei Xiao: “What are you flustered for? It’s an opening game, an entertainment match.”
Li Chun had been helping out backstage and hadn’t watched the singles, so he really didn’t know that Wei Xiao had been more flustered than he was.
Li Chun: “The captain and vice-captain have to play well!”
Wei Xiao was calm. “Don’t worry.”
Li Chun sighed. “When will I be able to have a heart as big as Brother Xiao?”
He was very sincere when he said this. He’d known Wei Xiao for so long, and they’d played together through a whole season. He’d never seen Wei Xiao in a panic or acting nervous.
The skin on Wei Xiao’s face was as thick as city walls. “You’ll get used to it with more experience.”
Li Chun nodded, having been thoroughly fooled.
Even if he was sitting on the other side next to their captain, Brother Cai could still hear the conversation clearly. He rolled his eyes: Be a little less shameless, Wei Xiao. Do you really think that no one will watch the recording from the last game? You cried like a fool, yet you still feel like you can teach others life lessons!
Because they’d delayed for a while backstage, the doubles teams had already gone up on stage and had even finished selecting their talents.
Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran were obviously in entertainment mode. They took out the bird hunter and soul warlock talents that had just been released recently for the game.
Kim Sung-hyun was using the bird hunter, and Li Heran used the soul warlock.
These two talents were quite interesting. There had been a video release about them with the newly launched expansion.
The bird hunter and soul warlock were brothers who’d grown up together. They were both beloved by nature; one could communicate with birds, while the other could link up with all living things and feel the power of their souls.
In the expansion film, they weren’t of the human race, but had gradually gained human form and humanity after coming into contact with human beings.
They weren’t of the demon family but were set as part of the spirit family instead.
The bird hunter was the first to come into contact with humans. He knew a pet bird who begged him to help its owner.
The bird hunter loved all birds and couldn’t bear to see them cry, so he tried to save the seriously injured man.
When the man opened his eyes, he was almost shocked all the way to heaven by the bird hunter he saw in front of him,
The bird hunter had no fixed form and would appear in a form based on the other party’s expectations.
The rescued man saw an angel.
The bird hunter was in contact with birds all year round, and he was naive and simple. He had absolutely no understanding of human greed and ambition.
The man soon saw through him and became interested in the bird hunter’s power, wanting to use him to regain his own power.
The bird hunter didn’t care about this human being, but he couldn’t resist the bird’s crying and could only help him again and again.
Eavesdropping, surveillance, and seizing power.
The bird hunter slowly gained a human body and took on human colors. The feathers on his forehead changed from pure white to a dark gray, and his eyes changed from a nearly transparent silver to a dark black.
By the time the soul warlock found him again, he almost couldn’t recognize him.
Greed, ambition, desire.
By the time the bird hunter came to realize the truth, he was already sitting on a lonely throne, with blood flowing under it like a river.
He’d lost his ability to communicate with birds, lost his ability to domesticate birds, and also lost his extraordinary vision and insight.
He’d been reduced to an ordinary human being.
And the man whose life he’d saved stabbed him through the chest.
The bird hunter looked at him in shock. “Why?”
The man: “Because you deserve to die!”
His throne, his country, and his subjects had all been taken away by this devil!
When the bird hunter woke up, the soul warlock was attached to his filthy body.
The bird hunter: “I……”
The soul warlock’s voice was ethereal, “One person’s evil is two people’s burden. Mother will once again regard you tenderly.”
Their mother was nature. They were children who’d been abandoned by nature.
The bird hunter was tortured. “You didn’t do anything wrong. Why did you…” Bear this sin for me.
The soul warlock: “Because we’re in this together.”
From birth, all the way through growing up. They’d been together like this for thousands of years.
The blood stained bird hunter still had a pure soul.
After all, they had never really been human.
As soon as the expansion video was released, the fans were instantly stirred up and rushed to the canyon to try out the new talents.
However, once they tried it…
Forget it, forget it, what kind of skills did this bird hunter require!
It was bad enough that it had two forms, but all eight skills had two stages. How could ordinary players understand it?
Even professional players had to familiarize themselves with it for a long time before being able to feel out some potential combos.
The talent had only just come out, and many of them were still waiting for further development and research. The R&D departments belonging to the various clubs were scurrying around analyzing the talents intensively.
For example, when the shadow thief first came out, no one had known that it was possible to brush out nine light arcs.
The soul warlock was relatively simpler in comparison. They just had to start up the ultimate move and attach themselves to someone else.
Attaching themselves to a team member would strengthen various stats. It was a very powerful support talent.
At first, players had thought that it was a simple and easy to use talent that could just lie around waiting to be carried to victory. Unexpectedly, the upper limit for this talent was amazing when used by high-level players!
The attachment came with a symbiosis mode. Once symbiosis was turned on, the player could use the talent skills of the player they were attached to at the same time. That meant… the soul warlock could use the bird hunter’s skills!
Although the power of the skills was reduced by 50%, it was still sufficiently overwhelming. When it was used well, it was like a f*cking math problem where 1+1=3!
Coincidentally, Cong Yi had also taken the soul warlock, while Asleep had taken the berserker thief.
Wei Xiao said to Brother Cai, “You deserve to have a soul warlock too.”
The hair on Brother Cai’s body stood on end, “!”
Wei Xiao: “When we go back, I’ll use the shadow thief, and you can attach to me. Using two shadow thieves in the arena, wouldn’t that be cool?”
Brother Cai wanted to shout for help, “To-to hell with two. I can’t even brush out a single light arc…”
Wei Xiao regarded him with disdain. “Dream a little.”
The salted fish vegetable’s dream was to be a salted fish vegetable!
This doubles game was interesting.
Kim Sung-hyun’s bird hunter accompanied by Li Heran and Cong Yi’s soul warlocks. The audience was in high spirits as soon as they saw the new talents come out.
Who cared about who won or who lost? They’d first open their eyes and expand their horizons!
The new talents didn’t have any advanced skins and only had some associated skins, which were basically similar to the original skin with different colors.
This was a major feature in Glory. Releasing new talents prior to the global competition meant that they were waiting for the contestants to win with the new talents in order to give them new skins!
The bird hunter’s original skin was very valiant. When in spirit form, the feathers on his head were a clean, pure white, and his skin color was also very pale. He had a body like an elf and wore light colored clothing. Although he didn’t have wings, he was able to rise up and float in the air.
He had no weapons and relied on thousands of birds to execute all his skills.
The special effects for his ultimate move, ‘Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix’, were stunning and beautiful.
The soul warlock couldn’t use attachment until level six. He had a silent character, and although he had the dark hair and gray eyes that represented the demon family, he displayed a sense of tranquility and harmony. He seemed separate from all the earthly matters, looking far into the distance. He had a quiet temperament and held compassion for all mankind.
Wei Xiao spoke up abruptly, “What a pity.”
Lu Feng turned to ask, “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “It’s a pity that I wasn’t invited to join the casual player competition.”
After the three opening games came a casual player game. The so-called casual player game involved selecting lucky players to compete with professional players. It was a 5v5 game.
There were six professional players who’d been selected through votes submitted by the players, and they were: Close, Yan Jiang, Yuan Ze, Xie He, Kim Sung-hyun, and Gary.
The remaining four spots in the teams would be filled by players who were selected at random from the live audience, forming two teams for a 5v5 game.
Wei Xiao: “If I could participate, I would use the soul warlock and use attachment on my captain!”
The real double shadow thief, give a try!
Brother Cai mused out loud, “Maybe you’ll get drawn?”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Brother Cai: “There are also number plates for the special guest seating. You still have hope.”
Even if it was a one in several ten thousand chance.
Wei Xiao came back to his senses and quickly handed his seat number to Brother Cai. “Hold it!”
Bai Cai: “???”
Wei Xiao stared at him. “If I don’t win, then you need to quickly return Money’s Porsche!”
The white cabbage had a shocked expression on his face. “Why!”
What did this have to do with his Porsche!
Wait, what did this have to do with him at all? Why did he have to take Wei Xiao’s seat number?
Wei Xiao watched him affectionately. If the director had cut the camera over to them at this moment in time, then the Little Bai (Xiao Bai) CP sisters would spiral up into the sky in joy.
So sweet, so sweet, it was definitely real sugar!
However, reality was cruel. This sugar was so fake it couldn’t be any more fake. “Whether or not I can fly doubles with the captain is all up to you.”
Bai Cai finally understood what he meant. “You……”
Wei Xiao: “God Bai, you can do it!”
He was even calling him God. Wei Little Xiao was being very serious.
Bai Cai didn’t dare to give him his seat number back, but he was also growing nervous. “Luck is a very metaphysical thing. It’s a one in tens of thousands of a chance. I…”
Wei Xiao: “You won a one in a million chance draw for a Porsche!”
Bai Cai: “……”
Damn it, he was riding a tiger, and it was impossible to get off!
lmao if wei xiao seat number wins, i would want to be born again as brother cai. that guy’s luck is out of the world hahaha
thank you for the chapter
Close had conquered his old self.
The missing goodbye from three years ago had finally been made up for.
Only by saying farewell and putting down the past could one lighten up and win the future!”
“The bird hunter was tortured. “You didn’t do anything wrong. Why did you…” Bear this sin for me.
The soul warlock: “Because we’re in this together.”
From birth, all the way through growing up. They’d been together like this for thousands of years.”
I’m not crying, you are.

Thanks for the chapter!
God Bai, fighting!! 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the chapter ❤️
Go Lucky Bai!!!
I believe in brother Cai’s crazy luck. Brother Cai we want to eat some dog food next chapter. 😍
Out of topic but I’ve been questioning this for a long time. How can 2 top lanner clash with each other? Like, aren’t enemy’s top lanner appear on team’s bot lane? Sorry I’m confused 😣
Thanks for the chapter! ❤️
kinda late but no, the top lane are still the same. in moba games usually it’s the jungle that gets switched.
Vegetable Brother’s luck is proportional to the dog food that he consumes
Thank you for new chapter~~~
Caicos is the god of luck. I believe in you 👍
Caicai is the god of luck. I believe in you 👍
the background story of the 2 new talents is interesting, it could par with my fave background story which were the blood combo talent (blood warrior & blood thief) 🤩
these 2 talents suited my fave side-ships, the Pajama CP & Koi CP 😍
I would do anything for that God like luck!
Poor Bai Cai lmao 🤣
Thanks for the chapter <3
