When Qin Mo said at the meeting that ‘next week’s game will be under Qingyue’s command’, Zhu Qingyue was not surprised. After all, he knew more about his senior brother than Qin Mo and Xiao Han, and was better at playing the auxiliary array. Qin Mo’s trust moved Zhu Qingyue so much that he took over the responsibility of commanding without hesitation.
Although Qin Mo did not tell him the importance of the game, Zhu Qingyue knew very well that Mojue’s next opponent would be difficult to deal with, and that if he could not get points from Whisper team, the situation would be even more difficult.
Whisper’s home court was now under Wei Guanghua’s command. Judging from the past few weeks’ games, they usually use the terrain to use the umbrella array’s play—— Luo Yuan’s auxiliary and the twin’s black umbrella array to cooperate. The team’s killing ability was extremely strong. Wei Guanghua made a single breakthrough in the front, and quickly killed one player by using the strong control time of the umbrella array, so as to establish the number advantage and make the balance of victory tend to Whisper.
In the team battle stage, Whisper team’s record was not particularly outstanding. Except for winning 2:0 against the weakest Graceful Beauty team, they didn’t win many beautiful battles. However, Whisper got 1:1 scores in five consecutive games, forcing many strong teams to tie. Wei Guanghua seemed to prove one point—— although the current Whisper team was not strong enough, it was not so easy to get points from their hands!
If Zhu Qingyue wanted to score 2:0, he must have gone through careful analysis and arrangement.
Since taking over the command, Zhu Qingyue had been studying the videos of Whisper team in the past few weeks, and had come up with targeted strategies. However, he was not sure of his own tactics. That night, he was sitting in front of the computer to sort out his ideas when his mobile phone suddenly lit up. It was his master who sent the message: “How are the preparations for next week’s game?”
At the sight of this familiar avatar, Zhu Qingyue felt warm in his heart, and his lips couldn’t help but curve a smile. He immediately picked up his mobile phone and replied: “I will command next week, I am not sure I will win, but I will try my best.”
Chu Yan sent a hug emoticon and replied: “Believe in yourself, you can do it.”
“Will master watch the game?” Zhu Qingyue asked.
Chu Yan replied: “Of course. This master has already booked a ticket to Luoyang, and I will go to the scene to watch the game in person.”
“Master, if you come to the scene in person, and my senior brother and I will be under a lot of pressure.” Zhu Qingyue made a joke.
Chu Yan replied: “I want to see the duel between the two apprentices with my own eyes. You can’t underestimate your senior brother over there. Good luck, I look forward to your performance.”
“I understand, good night master ^^.” Zhu Qingyue replied seriously.
After the conversation ended, Zhu Qingyue looked back and re-read the written records of their chatting, and gained more confidence in next week’s game.
His master wanted to come to the scene in person, and he couldn’t let him down!

Whisper team’s location was in Luoyang, and Mojue was caught in a rainstorm on the day when all of them came to Luoyang. As a result, two people in the team caught a cold—— the usually lively Shen He, after catching a cold, he was as thorough as wrinkle eggplant. He had a high fever that night, he was burning to daze, and his mouth was talking nonsense.
Another person who caught a cold was Zhu Qingyue. Fortunately, his condition was not serious, but he had a sore throat and some cough.

Fortunately, several different lineups were arranged during training this week. If Shen He was absent, others could play. Seeing that Qingyue was in good spirits, Qin Mo felt relieved and turned to the next door to see Shen He.
When Li Muran opened the door and saw Qin Mo and Xiao Han coming, he said, “Captain Qin, Shen He’s fever has not yet subsided.”
Qin Mo walked to the bed and sat down, and found that Shen He’s entire face was red, his forehead was constantly sweating, but his mouth was muttering: “Champion, I have won the championship, the trophy is so heavy, is it made of gold? Hahaha, I am rich, I am rich…”
Xiao Han couldn’t help but laugh. “When he was burned to daze, he had a beautiful dream.”
Qin Mo touched the apprentice’s forehead with some distress, and it was a little hot, so he took the cold towel changed by Muran and put it on Shen He’s forehead and said. “Muran, please take care of Xiao He tonight. If his fever gets worse, call me and we’ll take him to the hospital.”
“I know, I will take care of him.” Li Muran replied softly.
After visiting the team members, Qin Mo and Xiao Han returned to their room. Qin Mo did not sleep well that night, because he always had nightmares about Shen He being taken to the hospital for emergency treatment…
Waking up in the morning, Qin Mo had a headache. Xiao Han warmed him with a cup of milk and was concerned. “I heard you talking in your sleep last night. Are you still worried about Shen He?”
“He is usually so lively and active, after the illness, he becomes different.” Qin Mo replied. “I heard that people who are not usually sick, if they fall ill, it will come like a collapsed mountain, and the illness becomes very serious. Otherwise, I’d better go and see him…”
“Muran just sent me a message saying that Xiao He’s fever has gone down and he is sleeping.” Xiao Han replied. “Don’t worry, it’s nothing big.”
Qin Mo nodded and went to the room next door to take a look at Shen He. He found that his apprentice had stopped talking nonsense, and he went to visit Qingyue again. Although Zhu Qingyue’s voice was still a little hoarse, he was in good condition. Qin Mo was relieved. The game was scheduled in the afternoon, but Qin Mo didn’t want everyone to find Internet cafes for training. In the morning, the team members would simply rest in the hotel to keep their spirits up.
***
Before the game in the afternoon, Shen He woke up. The little monkey, who usually jumped up and down, was a little weak after a high fever, but he still insisted on going to the stadium.
“You don’t need to play. What did you go to the stadium for?” Qin Mo replied.
“I want to see it with my own eyes!” Shen He stubbornly replied. “Moreover, if I don’t go, the reporter will definitely ask Mojue for the lack of person and master will find a way to explain it, which is too much trouble…”
This guy was very considerate of his master. Qin Mo rubbed his messy head and replied. “Okay, I don’t rest assured that you stay alone in the hotel. Later, put on more clothes, take some medicine, and go to the scene to sit and rest.”
“En!” Shen He nodded like a well-behaved child.
Although his face was still a little pale, his liveliness made his spirit better. Xiao Han patted his shoulder and replied. “You were still talking about the championship when you had a high fever. For the sake of your devotion, I think, this week’s game luck will not be too bad.”
Shen He smiled and scratched his head. “Of course, I sucked all the bad luck! I won’t play later, sitting under the stage and continuing to suck bad luck!”
Seeing that he had regained his talkative and lively appearance, and also did not look uncomfortable, everyone was relieved and set out for the stadium together.
At Whisper team’s home court, the number of fans was not as many as that of other teams, and some seats in the back row were not full. On the one hand, the reason was that Tingyu Tower sect was relatively unpopular in the game itself, and the umbrella system was difficult to imitate, so the player base was small; On the other hand, Zhu Qingyue, a more famous and more handsome player, who belonged to Tingyu Tower’s auxiliary, had separated a large number of fans, so even fewer fans like his senior brother Luo Yuan.
But Luo Yuan didn’t care about these. It was right for his junior brother to be more popular than him. After all, his junior brother had been with Pure Cleansing for so many years, and it had not been easy along the way, he had accumulated many diehard fans. However, he left Pure Cleansing and had just returned to the arena after many years. Although there was a great master like Chu Yan, Luo Yuan was actually starting from scratch, and he was not much different from the newcomer.
Even within Whisper team, Luo Yuan, as the captain, was not the most popular. The commander, Wei Guanghua, the output twins Lu Boyu and Lu Zeyan were more popular than he was. If he was still as he was before, he might feel humiliated. However, after his master’s beating before, the prejudice against Zhu Qingyue was erased, and after the heart knot was untied, he gradually looked down on these things. Now, he only hoped that the Whisper team could go further, hoping that he could realise the dream of ‘being an esports player’ that he could not realise when he was young.
For this reason, when they met backstage, there was no tension. Instead, Luo Yuan came over very friendly and greeted Zhu Qingyue. “Qingyue, long time no see.”
“Senior brother seems to be in good condition?” Zhu Qingyue smiled.
“I have raised my spirits and am ready to fight this game with Mojue. See you at the stadium later.” Luo Yuan laughed.
***
At 3pm in the afternoon, the match between Mojue and Whisper officially started.
When Zhu Qingyue sat in the command seat, the fans in the live broadcast room immediately sent a large row of tearful emoticons—— because Zhu Qingyue had a nickname ‘little crying bags’. Fans’ emoticons of tears were actually the same as those of other fans sending ‘666’ and ‘handsome’.
Ye Chao wondered. “Qingyue’s fan style is quite strange. Every time Qingyue appeared, the comment was flooded with overwhelming tearful emoticons.”
“Seeing this, I want to wipe the tears.” Liang Ru followed.
The tearful comments on screen was enough to prove Zhu Qingyue’s high popularity.
The first round was naturally Whisper’s home game, and Wei Guanghua was the commander, who quickly submitted the game mode and map.
—— Escort Mode, Tingyu Tower Secret Territory.
At first glance, the name of this map was related to the ‘Tingyu Tower’ sect in the game. The biggest feature of the map was that there would be continuous drizzle in the scene, and the range of view of the players would be reduced in the rain. It was a smooth road covered with bluestone slabs, which would become very smooth after being wet by rain, and the speed of the escort wagon would be accelerated. Similarly, the speed of players moving on the ground would be accelerated, and it was similar to walk on the ice.
However, except for the escort route, there were endless ponds on both sides of the road. The lotus in the pond was wet and beautiful by the rain. It was forbidden to use qinggong in the pond, and they could only swim. The speed of swimming in the water would be much slower than that on the road. Wei Guanghua chose this map obviously to allow the escort team to reach the finish line as quickly as possible.
In terms of lineup, Whisper team sent Wei Guanghua, an offensive and defensive double-sided swordsman, the black umbrella formation combination of the Lu siblings, Luo Yuan’s auxiliary, and a healer.
Although the defense ability of this combination couldn’t be compared with the iron triangle defensive lineup of Mojue meat shield + healer + auxiliary, Whisper team also had a great chance of winning because of the black umbrella and white umbrella flows’ deceleration and teleportation array, and the advantage of this rain scene map.
After the opponent’s lineup was announced, Zhu Qingyue quickly submitted the lineup.
Originally, if the opposite took defensive mode, he planned to send out four outputs, namely, Han, Mo, Hong and He, with him as an auxiliary to help them take the violent route to kill all the escorts quickly. But Shen He had a bad cold and couldn’t play. Zhu Qingyue let Pei Yu replace Shen He—— Although Xiao Pei’s output ability was not as good as Shen He’s, his control field was not weaker than Shen He’s. Pei Yu could control the Whisper, maximizing the output of Han, Mo and Hong, and still being able to fight with Whisper.
At the stage of banning secret books, the three secret books banned by Zhu Qingyue were all array secret books, which was also a way of playing that Whisper team was quite good at.
The first secret book he grabbed was ‘Questioning Heart Sutra’—— he didn’t want the other party to get this secret book of health recovery by percentage, the situation would become: after Mojue fought for a long time, only for the opposite side still in full health, which greatly affected the rhythm of the game. As for defensive secret books, it could be given to the other side. There was no main T on the opposite side. Wei Guanghua, a swordsman, even if he piled up to 100,000 health, he had no shield and anti-injury skills, and his defensive ability was definitely not as good as that of professional meat shield like He Beiguang. Even if he took defensive secret books, he would not be as difficult as a meat shield.
Sure enough, after Zhu Qingyue took away the healing secret books, Wei Guanghua decisively took two defensive secret books.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qingyue took the teleportation secret book ‘Waning Light’ and ‘Makeup In Autumn’ secret book, the most powerful attack secret book.
The audience was a little confused about his choice, Ye Chao explained. “He took away a teleportation secret book, probably because he was worried that the other party would take two teleportation secret books, plus Whisper’s own teleportation array. Several teammates of the defensive team cooperated to launch seamless teleportation, teleporting the escort team directly several times, greatly reducing the distance of escort transport, and it would be very difficult for the offensive team to handle it.”
Seeing this, Wei Guanghua was also surprised, because if Zhu Qingyue did not take this secret book, he also planned to take it.
Qingyue took away a teleportation secret book, and Wei Guanghua immediately took another teleportation secret book, ‘Moonlight Illuminate Water’, and then took away the high damage secret book, ‘River Sunset’.
Zhu Qingyue followed by picking Xiao Han’s favorite ‘Bloody Hand’ …
Both sides quickly selected the secret books one after another, and Zhu Qingyue’s expression remained calm all the time. Obviously, he had his own strategy for choosing secret books.
At the beginning of the game, the players of both sides respawn on the pavilion at the pond at the same time.
The secret books brought by ten players into the field also appeared on the arena statistics panel. To the surprise of the audience, Xiao Han, Qin Mo, and Liu Hong all brought the output secret books that they were best at at ordinary times. Pei Yu brought the secret book of high-damage group attack, ‘Makeup In Autumn’, and Zhu Qingyue unexpectedly brought the teleportation secret book ‘Waning Lights’.
Ye Chao was surprised. “I thought he took the secret book of teleportation in order to break the seamless teleportation of the opposite side. Unexpectedly, Qingyue brought this secret book into the field. It seems that he wants to seize the first hand of the team battle.”
Oh, poor baby Shen He. Glad, that he’s better now~~! ʕ ᵔᴥᵔ ʔ
I‘m looking forward to Qingyue‘s arrangements!
Thank you for the chapter 💜💜💜
Hope Shen He get well soon and be able to play 💕
