Glory [e-sports]

Zhou Xingfei had cheated Bai Cai?

What was going on?

Quite a few of Brother Cai’s fans had come to the live broadcast studio. Someone immediately called out, “Holy shit, is that really the case?”

“What’s this? God Bai was tricked back then?”

“Brother Vegetable was really very miserable! Back then, he broke off the contract with Boro and was ridiculed all over Weibo. They all said that he was too rich and didn’t even take a million yuan seriously.”

“A million? Brother Cai wasn’t famous yet when he was in Boro, right?”

An old fan: “Very poor and thrifty. He would even thank people over and over again for support gifts that are only worth 50 yuan.”

“Back then, I was really puzzled and curious about how Brother Cai had the courage to break his contract.”

“But, how did Zhou Xingfei trick him?”

“I know! Zhou Xingfei was the rookie king that year. He relied on Brother Cai, who was already a professional player, and attracted the attention of many teams.”

“That’s right! Back then when Brother Cai was live streaming, he would double queue with this Zhou Xingfei!”

“Before breaking his contract with Boro, Brother Cai also said that he wanted to go and participate in the competition with his real teammates.”

“Shit, I didn’t think much of it at the time, but now that I’m thinking back… My White God really had it tough ahhhhhh!”

Bai Cai hadn’t indulged his fans for the past year for nothing. Although nobody knew that he was the Gossip Emperor, he’d also learned a lot about these little sisters’ preferences through his position as the Gossip Emperor.

While catering to their likes, Brother Cai had also managed fans of ‘White’ very well.

Once someone was a fan, they would start to care about their player’s past.

The highlights of Bai Cai’s past were, ‘a very unremarkable support’, and ‘high priced contract termination’.

Previously, the fans hadn’t known why. Now, it all lined up.

––He wanted to play with his real teammates.

––He terminated his existing contract without any hesitation .

––His ‘teammate’ flew far and high…

After these clues were all pulled out bit by bit, the fans exploded!

“Damn it… what a scum!”

“No wonder FTW insisted on picking OD. It was for the sake of my Brother Cai!”

“I was wrong, I’d like to apologize for scolding Quiet. This guy is really righteous, kind and loyal!”

On the screen, the youth in the black FTW team uniform stood there beneath the dazzling stage lights. He was tall, his legs were long, and his clothing was worn casually, revealing pale and slender arms. His left hand was inserted into his trouser pocket, and he looked cool and arrogant.

His facial features were very handsome, and when he smiled, it was as bright as the sun. The way his eyes were hooded and cold as he stared at Zhou Xingfei… it was really alpha-like!

The recording was still playing on repeat, broadcasting those two sentences over and over.

Zhou Xingfei’s expression was incredibly ugly.

This kid had actually recorded it!

He……

Wei Xiao spoke in a cool tone, “God Zhou, if you’re a man, then apologize frankly. Nobody will say much about you over something that took place such a long time ago.”

These words sounded like a way to step back, but the tone of his voice was full of irony.

Zhou Xingfei was caught in a dilemma.

Apologize? He couldn’t swallow down this indignity!

Why should he apologize? Bai Cai had been stupid on his own, so how could he be blamed for it?

What if he didn’t apologize?

Zhou Xingfei really hated this recording to death. He hated it so much that he was gritting his teeth.

He’d been too careless, and he completely hadn’t expected that Wei Xiao had been tricking him into saying things.

At this time, Bai Cai also walked over. He wasn’t like Wei Xiao; his clothing was neat, and the zipper of his uniform jacket was pulled up to the top.

FTW’s support player had always been synonymous with the phrase ‘easy to get along with’.

Even on the day that they’d won the domestic championships, he’d also pressed his lips together in a smile, appearing restrained and reserved.

However, at this time, his mouth was tense, and he looked coldly at Zhou Xingfei.

His look made Zhou Xingfei feel a trace of guilt in his heart. His nerves, which had originally already been stretched to the limit, couldn’t hold on…

“I…”

Wei Xiao stopped the replay from the recording pen, and the stage fell silent.

Zhou Xingfei exhaled heavily and spoke in Chinese, “I’m sorry.”

He just wanted to leave quickly and wished he could disappear immediately.

Wei Xiao suddenly opened his mouth, his clear voice ringing through the large banquet hall, “Apology not accepted.”

He walked up to Zhou Xingfei and said to him, “Your apology. Our White doesn’t accept it.”

Bai Cai was stunned.

Wei Xiao called out to him, “Old Bai, let’s go.”

At this time, Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle had also come over. The FTW group didn’t give Zhou Xingfei a second glance as they walked down together.

Most of the participants were foreigners who didn’t understand Chinese, so they were still unclear about what exactly had just happened.

However, the Chinese fans in the livestream studio had already exploded!

“Oh my god, Quiet is too inspiring!”

“You can make your apology, but Laozi has no obligation to accept it or forgive you?”

“Damn! That was great! Brother Cai has really found a treasure, oh, that’s not right, FTW has really found a treasure!”

The actions and consequences that had led to this situation were all clear. Everyone could see that FTW had rushed to the top three on the scoreboard in order to play against OD. From the recording, it could be seen that both sides had an agreement. As long as FTW won, Zhou Xingfei would apologize to Bai Cai––apologize for tricking Bai Cai.

Quiet was also very fierce. Knowing that Zhou Xingfei would try to get out of it, he had directly gone and recorded the conversation.

This on-the-spot recording playback was tantamount to a public execution.

Zhou Xingfei was already depressed from being targeted in the game, and his teammates hadn’t held back from scolding him. Something like this also popped up at this time, and he couldn’t help but be a little flustered regardless of how smooth and slick he usually was.

He’d only wanted to calm things down and get through it, which was why he’d apologized despite being unwilling and insincere.

Who could’ve known that Quiet would send him off with those three words: “Apology not accepted.”

He’d put in a lot of effort to make him apologize, simply because he’d done something wrong.

But apologies didn’t alter the harm that the victim had suffered, so the apology hadn’t been accepted.

After stepping down from the stage, Bai Cai finally came back to his senses, “You…”

Wei Xiao slung an arm around his shoulder, “Why should you forgive him? Does he deserve it?”

The cold voice poured into Bai Cai’s heart like a stream of heat, making his nose feel sour, “You…”

He couldn’t hold back his tears. Bai Cai choked out, “… What’s the point of riling up a mad dog.”

Wei Xiao helped him block the cameras, “Just let him bite me. It just so happens that I’m bored.”

Bai Cai: “……………”

F*ck!

Later on, this matter was sorted out by fans and posted up on Weibo.

The entire incident was pulled out and picked clean. Some people even dug out photos of Bai Cai from when he’d just joined the team.

A Bai Cai who’d been skinny and bony, his entire person appearing out of sorts. It looked nothing like his currently clean and handsome appearance.

When the people who were still saying that Bai Cai had done well for himself after terminating the contract saw these photos, they all shut up.

Even if they didn’t know exactly what he’d experienced, just looking at the Bai Cai in the photos was enough to tell them how big of a blow he’d suffered at the time.

An 18, 19 year old youth.

Who’d entrusted everything to his teammate.

His dreams and his trust.

All piled up on the body of a scum.

Who hadn’t ever dreamed? Who hadn’t once had a passionate heart? Who hadn’t experienced the enthusiasm that inspired them to proceed without turning back?!

Unfortunately there was always reality and despicable means that would cool such young hot-bloodedness.

Fortunately, Bai Cai now had real teammates.

***

By the time they returned to the training room, Bai Cai had already stabilized his mood. He’d cried until he looked like a panda and was now feeling self-conscious and ashamed, and didn’t dare look up.

Coach Chen stared at him for a while, then began to settle accounts in the aftermath, “Your medicine warlock played well.”

Brother Vegetable: “……”

Wei Xiao raised his hand, “Report!”

Chen Feng raised his chin, “Speak.”

Wei Xiao sold Bai Cai out thoroughly, “Brother Vegetable’s elemental shaman, shadow priest, fiend warlock, and music mage are all extremely good!”

Bai Cai: “…………”

All of the talents that Wei Xiao had named really tested one’s hand speed and had extremely low fault tolerance rates. They were support talents that could cause an entire team to collapse in a moment of carelessness.

The problem was…

Bai Cai spoke up quickly, “Coach, don’t listen to his nonsense. I…”

His elemental shaman, shadow priest, fiend warlock, and music mage were all really terrible!

Chen Feng uttered a sound of acknowledgement and said, “Brother Cai has really hidden himself well. How disrespectful.”

How could Brother Vegetable continue to argue? He was about to die, “I’m not, I didn’t, don’t listen to him talk blindly…”

Wei Xiao chuckled and said, “Our team has such a powerful support. He’s so reliable.”

Bai Cai was going crazy, “Wei Xiao!”

Wei Xiao ignored him and turned to wink at Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle, “Don’t you feel particularly safe and secure?”

Ning Zhehan was purposely very supportive, “Brother Vegetable is so strong!”

Bai Cai: “……”

Don’t assume that Laozi can’t tell the difference between Vegetables and Cai!

This group of punks!

What did it mean to drive a duck onto a perch?

Brother Vegetable’s ‘lazy’ days were coming to an end!

Although they’d won against OD, Chen Feng wanted to strike while the iron was hot and reviewed the game with them then and there.

On the whole, FTW had performed well. Needless to say, Close hadn’t made any errors during the entire game, and he was even more powerful in the top lane than he’d been when he played jungler. Wei Xiao was full of recklessness and appeared impulsive, but in fact, he was brave and resourceful, and several of his ganks had been extremely on point. After Coach Chen came out with these three sentences of rainbow farts, Brother Cai promised to train bitterly with the elemental shaman, shadow priest, fiend warlock, and music mage. Anything Yan Jiang could play, he also had to master!

Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle had made some mistakes, but Chen Feng didn’t purposely pick on them and only said, “Continue to train.”

The points competition ended at 9:30PM, which was still considered early. FTW went to the international servers to queue as a team and played until 12:00 midnight.

Chen Feng spoke, “That’s enough, everyone’s free to do what they want.”

Wei Xiao looked pleadingly at Lu Feng, “Captain.”

Lu Feng invited him to a game over the game interface.

Wei Xiao was instantly excited, “Ahhhhhh, I’m coming!”

With this level of excitement, those who didn’t know otherwise would think he’d won the lottery!

Lu Feng said, “Take the immortal thief.”

As long as Wei Xiao could solo, he was willing to play anything!

Wei Xiao took the immortal thief, and Lu Feng took the power thief.

This was a remake of tonight’s game.

When FTW played against OD, Wei Xiao had used the immortal thief, and Zhou Xingfei had used the power thief.

During the entire game, Zhou Xingfei’s power thief had been beaten up by Wei Xiao, to the point where he had no way to fight back.

Now…

The immortal thief who’d been running wild through the heavens was smeared into the ground by the seemingly clumsy power thief.

Wei Xiao sucked in a breath, “Sure enough, there are no crappy heroes, only crappy players.”

They were both power thieves, but it had seemed useless and clumsy when Zhou Xingfei used it, while the captain made it seem dashing enough to explode!

So what if its movement skill had a short range? So what if it held a giant axe? When the axe swept over, its momentum was unparalleled!

It was too overbearing, okay?!

One match came to an end. Lu Feng spoke to Wei Xiao, “The power thief can suppress the immortal thief. Give it a go next time.”

Wei Xiao replied, “It’s still early, why don’t we try it now!”

If he could play once, then he wanted to play twice. Once just really wasn’t enough.

Wei Xiao, who was immersed in his excitement, was just about to pester for more, but who could’ve known that Lu Feng would toss a light sentence his way, “It’s so late, don’t you have to accompany your girlfriend?”

Wei Xiao instantly came to attention and sat up straight.

He’d been playing so happily that he’d completely forgotten about this matter.

Private spending money. The boss. Girlfriend.

Countless key words flooded into his mind, and Wei Xiao collapsed!

Lu Feng stood up, “I’m going back first.”
