Wei Xiao happily went to take a bath. When he came out again, Lu Feng was leaning against the head of the bed and flipping through a book.
Wei Xiao asked curiously, “What book is that?”
Lu Feng closed the book, turned off the light and said, “Sleep.”
Wei Xiao’s curiosity was piqued. He jumped onto his bed to read the title, “… Razor’s Edge? W.S. Maugham’s book?”
Lu Feng: “Yes.”
Wei Xiao frowned and didn’t say anything.
But Lu Feng could understand his thoughts, “You don’t like The Moon and Sixpence?”
Wei Xiao’s voice was stuffy, “Never read it.”
Lu Feng rubbed his hair and said, “Go sleep early.”
Wei Xiao didn’t like The Moon and Sixpence, which had been a must-read book during high school.
But Wei Xiao hadn’t read it. He couldn’t finish it.
The protagonist who’d left his wife and son to pursue his dream stabbed fiercely at Wei Xiao.
Strickland had been very cool, giving up the sixpence on the ground and looking up at the distant moon.
Wei Xiao’s father had also looked up at the moon in the sky, forgetting that he had an elderly mother and young child.
Wei Xiao shook his head, unwilling to think about these messy things. He turned to Lu Feng and said, “Captain…” His voice was very small.
Lu Feng lay down flat, “Can’t sleep?”
Wei Xiao said, “I met Kim Sung-hyun by the seaside.”
Lu Feng turned his head to look at him, “Mm?”
Wei Xiao forgot all of the bad things as soon as he thought about Lu Feng. His voice lightened a bit, “He told me a lot about the time when you were young.”
Lu Feng: “Young?”
Wei Xiao: “17 years old.”
Lu Feng: “Not much younger than you.”
Wei Xiao imitated him perfectly, “I don’t like talking to people. If you’re lonely, you can go find someone else.”
Lu Feng: “…….”
Wei Xiao praised him, “Too cool!”
The captain was amazing, he’d managed to make Old Bandit Yuan suffer!
The corner of Lu Feng’s lips curved slightly.
Wei Xiao was now in high spirits. He pressed the pillow under his arm and propped his cheek up to look over, “They thought that you were secretly crying inside the room.”
Lu Feng: “It wasn’t that bad.”
Wei Xiao looked at him without blinking and softened his voice, “Captain, you don’t hate them, right?”
Lu Feng: “…….”
Wei Xiao said, “Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun, Xie He, you like them, right.”
Even if they ultimately ended up scattered, Lu Feng liked the former FTW. He liked the teammates who’d fought side by side with him, liked these people who cared about him.
If he didn’t like them, why would he try so desperately to buy FTW.
If he didn’t like them, why would he work so hard to support a dying FTW.
The Team of Gods had dispersed, but Lu Feng kept guard over the former FTW.
He maintained a home for everyone.
It was just that nobody came back.
Wei Xiao’s eyes were burning, and he couldn’t go on.
The more he understood, the more heartache he felt.

Everyone thought that the Close who’d stayed in FTW must hate all the teammates who’d left.

Lu Feng turned to the side and a pair of black eyes looked calmly at Wei Xiao, “Compared to you, there’s a big difference.”
Wei Xiao’s heart pounded.
He pinched the pillow between his elbows and was a little nervous, “I don’t understand.” In fact, he understood it, he understood it very well, but he wanted to hear more, and wanted to understand more.
Lu Feng’s long black eyelashes trembled slightly, “Sleep.”
Wei Xiao was anxious, “No… I really don’t understand, captain, you can’t do that, you have to say things clearly!”
Lu Feng: “…….”
Wei Xiao wanted to run over to his bed and shake him.
Lu Feng whispered, “… I like you more.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
F*ck, he really wanted to hear it when he hadn’t heard it, but after hearing it, he was now one millimeter away from dying on the spot!
Lu Feng covered up the throbbing in his voice, “Sleep now?”
Wei Xiao didn’t dare to provoke him more, “Sleeping!”
He hid in his quilt, wishing that the down quilt weighed 100 pounds, heavy enough to flatten his damned heart.
It wasn’t a confession, it wasn’t a confession.
It was just the ‘liking’ amongst teammates, the straight man type.
But…
Wei Xiao was still so happy that flowers were blooming in his heart. He was so happy that he wanted to go to the seaside and run three laps. He was so happy that he wanted to drag out Kim Sung-hyun and Yuan Ze and tell them loudly, “The captain likes me more!”
Wei Xiao didn’t know when he fell asleep, and Lu Feng wasn’t clear, either.
But, one thing was certain.
Their hearts were beating at the same frequency.
Equally fast, equally intense, equally trying hard to endure.
Every team got up early the next day.
After finishing breakfast by 8:30AM, they assembled at the banquet hall at 9:00AM.
The 12 into 6 competition round was divided into two batches that played at the same time.
Otherwise, if each fight was one hour, one day of time wasn’t enough to finish the competition.
FTW, L&P, and Pro were all in the first batch, and 3U was in the second batch.
Chen Feng had been the one to draw lots for FTW yesterday. He hadn’t dared to use ‘little black hand’ Brother Cai.
It wasn’t a big deal for free matching, but they should be calmer when it came to a proper competition. It wouldn’t be beneficial for their follow-up development if they encountered strong opponents in the very first round.
Chen Feng’s luck wasn’t bad. He drew a team from the Japanese competition zone.
They weren’t particularly strong, but they weren’t too bad, either. They were at about the same level as the previous FTW.
It was a pity that today’s FTW was no longer what it used to be. They’d grown too much over just the training matches over this period of time.
Why did so many teams want to arrange training matches with strong teams?
It was because the effect was significant.
One training session was worth three regular season games, and the pace of progress was really different.
Competitive sports was mostly pitting the strong against the strong. With better training opportunities, a player’s vision, skills, and mentality would all be greatly improved.
FTW had trained often with L&P and Pro in recent days, and their momentum was extraordinary even from the start of the game.
The team from Japan was also centered around a jungler core.
A jungler core…
Click to see how crazy Little Lunatic Wei was.
The game ended in 38 minutes. Quiet took a quadrakill and also picked up the ‘legendary’ achievement for the game.
They won their game, and L&P and Pro also won theirs.
Wei Xiao glanced over and found that both teams were in good condition. It was especially true for Pro; it was probably that Kim Sung-hyun had been holding back for a long time. It didn’t matter whether it was a weak team or not, he’d taken the gold hunter at the start of the game, and his ultimate move was accurate across the entire map, directly shooting the other side into seclusion.
When the settlement interface popped up, the entire live broadcast room was stunned.
Kim Sung-hyun’s DPS accounted for 59% of the total.
Wei Xiao was also stunned, “This is f*cking record breaking!”
Brother Cai was also dazed, “Was God Kim injected with chicken blood?”
Wei Xiao leaned in close to him and chattered nonsense in a whisper, “I think that your alt account can start work again.”
How exciting, Koi CP resurrects and lights up the arena!
Brother Cai’s heart was almost in his throat, “F*cking speak a little less.”
If his identity was revealed, he’d drag him down with him to die together!
Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry, nobody can hear me.”
Brother Cai’s heart was pounding like crazy, “Shut up!”
Wei Xiao grumbled, “It’s such good traffic that you’re not taking advantage of, you…”
Brother Cai covered up his mouth.
Wei Xiao pulled his hand away, “What are you doing? Actually using your hands.”
Bai Cai: “……”
Wei Xiao glanced at the captain who was focused on watching the game, and his heart itched, “Has there been any small articles about me and the captain recently?”
Brother Cai’s ears hurt from listening. He wanted to pretend to be deaf.
Wei Xiao said, “It’s okay if you don’t send out anything about the Koi CP. You can send out something about me and the captain.”
Stop hyping CPs just because he’d become enlightened?
Impossible.
He had to use even bigger moves now that he’d been enlightened. Wei Xiao wished he could tie the two IDs of Close and Quiet together and dispel all the evil cults.
Bai Cai ignored him.
Wei Xiao thought about it and was a little worried, “When you have nothing else to do, help me think about a CP name for me and the captain.”
Bai Cai retorted, “There is one, the Seclusion CP!”
Wei Xiao was unhappy, “It’s unlucky. What’ll I do if it really makes me and the captain go into seclusion?”
Brother Cai rolled his eyes, “What do you want to be called, then?”
Wei Xiao thought about it, “For example, all over heaven and earth, two hearts one mind, together forever, true love has no limit CP?”
Brother Vegetable: “………………………………”
Wei Xiao: “Too long?”
Brother Cai: “Get lost, ahhh!”
There was only one restriction for the 6 into 2 games. L&P, who’d been ranked 1st, wouldn’t be matched up with Pro, who was ranked 2nd.
As for the remaining four teams, it depended on their luck.
Chen Feng went out for the draw and was stunned for a moment when he saw the name of the team.
Little Ning was very nervous, “The coach’s face doesn’t look right. Could it be that we won the lottery?”
Wei Xiao wasn’t scared, “Every opponent we take down is one less opponent to fight! It’ll happen sooner or later!”
Then, the match ups were announced.
FTW’s opponent was…
Bai Cai narrowed his eyes.
Wei Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Little Ning read out the name of the team, “OD?”
Enemies were really bound to meet on a narrow road. They’d actually managed to run into Zhou Xingfei’s team again.
Wei Xiao laughed briefly, “Old Bai, it’s a god given opportunity.”
Last time, they’d only taken OD’s points for the day when they won. But today’s win would shatter their dreams of ten million dollars.
OD also saw the match list. Their group of people all turned to stare in their direction; the game hadn’t yet started, but the scent of gunpowder had already drifted into the air.
The teams on the scene all knew about the grudges between these two teams and were instantly excited to see them fight again.
Nobody at the scene felt more miserable than Zhou Xingfei did.
After they’d lost last time, it had taken him over ten days to fix his image. Now…
Damn it.
Zhou Xingfei stared hard at Bai Cai, vowing that he’d clear up his previous shame.
There were only three games for the 6 into 3 round. This time, the games were no longer held at the same time and were to be played one after another.
The live broadcast was online, and the commentators were ready to go. The scale for this round was quite different from 12 into 6.
If they lost here, they would be losing face in front of the whole world.
Wei Xiao rubbed his fists, “Let’s go.”
Everyone was full of energy, “Okay!”
Last time when FTW played against OD, it had been the first time that Wei Xiao and Lu Feng had switched positions. Now, more than 10 days had passed, and it was time for them to experience FTW’s real top-jungler linkage.
They’d just entered the BP interface when Lu Feng murmured, “Do you want to try the power thief?”
Wei Xiao was stunned.
Chen Feng frowned, “Quiet hasn’t used the power thief very much.”
Lu Feng looked at Wei Xiao from the corner of his eye.
Wei Xiao understood, “Okay!”
Lu Feng: “I’ll use the blood warrior.”
Chen Feng was silent for a moment, “You’ll lose if you underestimate the enemy.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were shining and eager, “It won’t happen.”
He would never lose. His goal was the 10 million at the very end!
Last time when FTW and OD had played against each other, FTW’s top lane had used the flying warrior, and the junger had used the immortal thief; OD’s top lane had used the blood warrior, and their jungler used the power thief.
FTW had won.
Many haters had said that FTW won due to their line-up, because the immortal thief and flying warrior were too agile, and OD’s power thief was a utility jungler; Zhou Xingfei hadn’t lost to Quiet, rather, he’d lost due to natural talent restraints.
If he had a strong jungler talent, he would also be able to suppress Quiet and beat him up.
The water army had already been going on about this for half a month.
It was even to the point where some people said that FTW was fighting over the smallest of trifles and didn’t have the aura of a big team. These words were really disgraceful.
Wei Xiao had ignored these bullshit words.
But ignoring it didn’t mean he didn’t know about it. These flies that were buzzing around were very annoying; it was impossible to beat them all to death, but it was at least possible to beat this particular one to death.
Didn’t Zhou Xingfei want to use the talent’s natural restraint to wash his reputation clean?
Wei Xiao had already taken the power thief. If he had the ability, then he’d take the immortal thief.
Let’s see if ‘natural restraint’ was willing to take this blame or not!
The audience watching the live broadcast also understood within seconds, “F*ck, is FTW really so confident!”
“It’ll be funny if they screw up.”
“Quiet is using the power thief? Can he do it?”
It was true that Wei Xiao hadn’t used the power thief in 5v5 before, but he’d used it too many times in solo games and couldn’t possibly be any more familiar with it.
Especially when it came to soloing against an immortal thief with the power thief.
He didn’t even know how many times Lu Feng had used it to force him into tears.
