Chapter 40: Doubles Competition (2/2)
In fact, they’d thought wrong. Kim Sung-hyun wasn’t afraid of the shadow thief, and he wasn’t afraid of Close’s shadow thief. He just didn’t want to play this game, and it was purely that he had a psychological shadow…
Sitting in front of the computer, without the microphones, Wei Xiao spoke to Lu Feng, “Captain, you take the shadow thief.”
Lu Feng didn’t say anything and quietly worked on checking over his equipment.
Wei Xiao continued, “Yuan Ze actually said that you can’t play doubles!”
Lu Feng’s hands paused slightly on the keyboard.
Wei Xiao continued angrily, “I’ll play the divine warrior. Don’t worry, I’ll protect you well!”
He had experienced a lot from the previous match, and the doubles competition was very interesting. He and Yuan Ze could win even if they were tearing it up over the headsets, so he and the captain must be able cooperate as well.
It had to be known that he was the one who knew Close the best. He would definitely be able to cooperate with the divine warrior!
All the way until the start of the fight, Wei Xiao was still very confident.
Although he had almost never played doubles with Lu Feng, he was very familiar with Lu Feng’s shadow thief, and he was very confident with the divine warrior. Additionally, he had the experience from the 5v5 training matches, and he felt that he could play out perfect cooperation with Lu Feng.
So what if the opposite side held Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran?
So what if they slept in the same room?
Had they ever cuddled together and slept together for 24 hours?!
Ha, scum!
These brain circuits that Wei Xiaoxiao had were really amazing.
When they picked heroes, Lu Feng finally spoke up, “You play the shadow thief. I’ll take the divine warrior.”
Wei Xiao replied immediately, “That won’t do. You’re the jungler, and I’m the top-laner. We’ll have to cooperate countless times in the future!”
Lu Feng: “…….”
Although Wei Xiao was caught up in the moment, he could still sense that Lu Feng was in rather low spirits, “Captain?”
Lu Feng locked in the shadow thief, “You take the divine warrior, then.”
Wei Xiao: “’Kay!”
Lu Feng glanced at the youth beside him out of the corner of his eyes, and his fingers trembled almost imperceptibly on the keyboard.
He wanted Wei Xiao to take the shadow thief, but this wasn’t the right time.
He hadn’t yet informed the team about the change in positions, and if he suggested it too hastily, it might cause confusion in the FTW team.
It was just a performance match, it was fine.
With this in mind, Lu Feng couldn’t help recalling the past.
“No more, no more, don’t ask me to play doubles with Close.”
“Coach, I’m begging you, even having me eat shit is better than playing doubles with him, okay?!”
“I’ll practice with the divine warrior. Isn’t it enough to train? Just don’t have me team up with little Close for doubles again.”
“There’s no way to play.”
Lu Feng was very resistant to the doubles competition.
Yuan Ze had spoken correctly. He really couldn’t play doubles.
Because……
Wei Xiao: “Captain, we’re starting.”
“Mm.” Lu Feng focused his mind on the canyon. Maybe things would be different.
The match began.
There was no surprise with the line ups.
Wei Xiao took the divine warrior, and Lu Feng took the shadow thief. The line up was exactly the same as the previous match, but the people playing the heroes had changed.
Kim Sung-hyun took a frost hunter, and Li Heran used the elemental shaman.
Everyone was very much looking forward to this match.
Wei Xiao was so flamboyant when playing with outsiders, how could he not show off all the way to the heavens when playing with his own captain?
Perhaps this year’s doubles would belong to someone different!
With this thought, it became even more exciting!
However…
10 minutes into the game, the audience was very disappointed.
No, that wasn’t quite right.
Even the commentators couldn’t find anything to praise.
Commentator A: “This… it seems that they aren’t quite cooperating well?”
Commentator B: “The divine warrior is playing very well, but Close’s shadow thief seems to be a little…”
He didn’t dare to say that it wasn’t fierce enough, because Lu Feng’s shadow thief was famous for its fierceness. How fierce was it? It was to the point where his opponents would want to surrender directly when they saw him take the shadow thief.
But now…
Old G was dismayed, “What’s going on with Close? He got seen through by that noob?”
Yuan Ze: “Just watch.”
The FTW side was even more silent.
Chen Feng stared fixedly at the screen, nervously biting his nails.
Tang Chen was a little uneasy due to the atmosphere, “Hey… Old Lu, today…”
Chen Feng: “Shut up!”
Tang Chen: “……”
In the arena, Kim Sung-hyun said to Li Heran, “Ah, hurry up and push to win. I don’t want to see this anymore.”
Li Heran whiz-whiz-whizzed and inserted four totems for him, making it so that the handsome frost hunter looked like a hornet’s nest that nobody dared provoke, “Go.”
Kim Sung-hyun sighed, “So, that’s why I said, I don’t like to play doubles with Close…”
He hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly cursed, “Damn it, I’m done for!”
Outsiders could see it very clearly. How could Wei Xiao, who was teamed up with Lu Feng, not sense it?
He endured for a full seven minutes before he couldn’t help it anymore, “Captain… are you feeling unwell?”
It was too strange. Today’s shadow thief was too strange!
It wasn’t that it wasn’t amazing, and it wasn’t that it wasn’t strong, but… it wasn’t fierce enough.
The aura that belonged to Close didn’t even show its head the tiniest bit.
Lu Feng didn’t say anything.
Wei Xiao couldn’t help but say, “If you’re not feeling well…”
Lu Feng spoke, and his voice was a little hoarse, “No.”
Wei Xiao: “Then…”
Lu Feng paused, then spoke quietly, “Do you want to know why Yuan Ze said that I can’t play doubles?”
Wei Xiao paused.
Lu Feng: “Watch.”
In the next moment, the entire scene fell silent.
Li Heran’s headset was full of Kim Sung-hyun’s shrill screams, “F*ck f*ck f*ck, captain, save me, captain, hurry and save me ahhhhh!”
If the first part of the match made the audience drowsy, then the second half of the match made them feel as nervous as if they’d also been trapped in the narrow canyon.
Commentator A: “This…”
Commentator B’s mouth was wide open: “……”
Terrible.
Each scene that appeared on the scene could only be described as terrible.
The shadow thief that was so quiet it was clumsy in the first half instantly restored its presence of absolute control.
It seemed as though he didn’t have any teammates, as though he was in an empty canyon.
The crimson blade was locked closely on the enemy’s life and nothing else.
Off-stage, Yuan Ze sneered, “Do you see it? This is the Close in doubles.”
An absolute control over the field, this terrifying oppressive force pressured not only the opponent, but also his teammate.
Gary was stunned, “Shit, I feel a little heartache for Quiet.”
Those who had never played Glory before would only think that this shadow thief was too amazing, so amazing that it seemed he was the only one in the canyon filled with four people.
Only those who knew Glory could feel this terrible pressure even across the screen.
As an opponent, one wouldn’t want to run into such an enemy.
As a teammate, one wouldn’t want to have such a partner.
Close wasn’t suitable for doubles.
It wasn’t that he didn’t play well, but that he played too well.
Back then, the Team of Gods’ starting lineup, the four men who were now listed in the Temple of Glory, couldn’t cooperate and keep up with him.
Let alone anyone else.
