Chapter 42: I feel like he wants to catch me! (2/2)
LU: I’m very interested in the e-sports industry. Since you’re a professional player, we can talk more about it when the opportunity comes up.
Bai Cai: “……”
Wei Xiao: “I guess that my boss wants to invest in an e-sports club. Tsk tsk, he really is a successful career man.”
Bai Cai was silent for a moment: Your boss is indeed successful in his career, but he doesn’t need to invest in a club. He has one himself!
Wei Xiao: “Not talking to you anymore. I’m going to introduce my boss to e-sports!”
Bai Cai: “Ummmm…”
He would’ve never dared to think that Close would need a newbie’s introduction to the e-sports circle one day.
Bai Cai thought about it back and forth but couldn’t figure it out.
If he really had to assign the captain a reason for this set of operations…
It was probably what Wei Xiao had said… he wanted to catch him!
Wei Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed and unknowingly talked with LU for half an hour.
He was serious as he summed up the e-sports circle and even gave him an introduction on the current training matches.
Under LU’s seemingly casual guidance, he gave an exaggerated account of his own amazing operations that day.
As they talked, they eventually came to the topic of Close.
LU: “Do you feel bad about losing the doubles match?”
Wei Xiao: “What’s there to feel bad about? Boss, you don’t understand. Winning and losing is a common thing for soldiers. How can you win all the time?”
LU: “Don’t call me boss. Call me… well, my surname is Lu.”
Wei Xiao peeked at the shower and typed, “You might not know, but my captain’s last name is also Lu.”
A certain captain who’d been leaning against the shower for half an hour: I really do know this.
LU: “What a coincidence.”
Wei Xiao thought about how the two of them were so familiar now. Calling him boss all the time was a little too estranged, so he casually said, “In that case, I’ll call you Brother Lu!”
Lu Feng: “…….”
Wei Xiao continued, “If you invest in a club in the future, don’t be afraid of losing, especially during the training and regular seasons. If you lose, you can discover problems, and if you discover the problems, you can solve them. If you can solve them, then you’ll be able to deal with heavy sieges in the playoffs!”
The regular season was a point system, and losing a few games was normal. A so-called ‘grand slam’ in the China competition zone was something that only FTW’s Team of Gods had managed to do back then.
The playoffs were based on an elimination system, and teams couldn’t afford to lose.
LU couldn’t help but ask him, “Then, did you discover the problem today?”
Wei Xiao: “I did!”
LU: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “I’m too trash! I’m not good enough and couldn’t keep up with the captain. Boss… oh, Brother Lu, you don’t know this, but my captain is really amazing. I always loved soloing with him before, and I felt that beating him as an opponent was very exciting. I always wanted to win against him. Today, I discovered that being his teammate is even more exciting. You don’t know, but the huge gap in strength is something that I can only feel deeply when I’m around him!”
It was 12:40AM, and it had already passed Lu Feng’s bedtime, but…
Lu Feng’s fingertips tapped very briskly on the surface of the mobile phone, “So, not only do you want to win against him now, you also want to fight with him?”
Wei Xiao slapped his thigh, “Yes! Brother Lu, your words are too accurate. I want to fight with him side by side. Being able to kill in all directions next to him would really be super cool!”
LU: “You can.”
Wei Xiao’s tail flipped up, “Of course, I’m very powerful!”
Previously, Close had said that he could win against him. Now, he wanted to have Close say that he was his teammate, his real teammate!
Speaking of which…
Wei Xiao spoke up, “Captain, have you finished washing up yet?”
Lu Feng: “…….”
It had already been 40 minutes. What kind of bath was the captain taking?
Was he a pea princess?
No, he didn’t seem to have heard the sound of water.
Wei Xiao’s tone was curious, “Captain?”
Lu Feng came out, “I’ve finished.”
In fact, he’d only changed into pajamas.
Wei Xiao: “Why couldn’t I hear the sound of water?”
Lu Feng was silent for a moment, “The sound insulation must be pretty good.”
Wei Xiao was incredulous, “A high level resort hotel really is different!”
Lu Feng thought about the dry bathroom and really regretted the nonsense he’d come up with.
Fortunately, Wei Xiao didn’t plan to take a bath. He jumped out of bed and said, “Captain, you sleep first. I’m going out for a while.”
Lu Feng: “…….”
Wei Xiao explained himself, “Don’t worry. I’ll be back by 2AM. It won’t delay the scoring tomorrow!”
There was no helping it. He was excited from talking to the boss and couldn’t sleep. He had to find the coach to review the game; today’s doubles match had too much content, and he really wanted to take a proper look at it!
It was useless just to talk without putting it into practice. He couldn’t just say that he wanted to cooperate with the captain; he had to take practical action as well.
He would start with reviewing the game!
Lu Feng still asked him, “Where are you going?”
Wei Xiao confessed honestly, “Finding the coach to review.”
As though afraid that Lu Feng would stop him, Wei Xiao slipped out quickly.
Lu Feng’s mobile phone vibrated slightly––
Little Xiao: “Brother Lu, there’s something I have to do. I’m going out first.”
Lu Feng: “Mm. I’m going to shower.”
Little Xiao: “Talk again next time~!”
Lu Feng: “Alright.”
Wei Xiao knocked on Chen Feng’s door. The one who opened it was Tang Chen, “Not sleeping yet?”
Wei Xiao slipped in, “Coach!”
Chen Feng was watching the video replay in front of the computer.
He was watching FTW’s training match from before. Being a coach wasn’t something that could be done just by talking. Although he didn’t have to train for a long time like the players, he was just as tired as the players were. For a review session that lasted a few hours, the coach might have done over 10 hours of preparation beforehand, refining anything that could be refined.
Chen Feng turned to look at him, “What’s up?”
Wei Xiao laughed cheekily.
Chen Feng felt a migraine coming on, “Go back and sleep. I don’t have the replay of the doubles match!”
He could figure out what this kid wanted with his eyes closed.
Wei Xiao had prepared early, “I have it!”
Chen Feng was surprised, “Where did you get it from?”
The competition committee would definitely have it, but it was so late, and there was no way to go and ask them for it.
Wei Xiao gave Bai Cai a phone call, “Old Bai!”
Bai Cai had only just finished sewing up his pajamas, “What!”
To hell with forgiving friends; if he could go back to two years ago, he wouldn’t have gotten to know this little beast even if he was beaten to death!
Wei Xiao: “You recorded the performance match, right?”
Bai Cai: “……”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t pretend to be stupid. I know you recorded it. Hurry and bring it over. I’m in Coach Chen’s room. He wants to help me review the game.”
Chen Feng: “……”
I don’t, I really don’t want to review the match for you.
Bai Cai hesitated for a while.
Wei Xiao: “Please, Brother Cai, I’ll give you money!”
Bai Cai was very clear on accounts even amongst brothers, “How much?”
Wei Xiaoxiao wasn’t short on money now, “10,000!”
Bai Cai took a look at the pajamas in his hands, “Deal.”
Bai Cai was just next door and soon came over.
Chen Feng was doubtful, “You recorded it?”
Of course Bai Cai had recorded it. It was such a classic event, how could he not?
Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran’s doubles match. He could take any random cut from it and get traffic.
Of course, Brother Cai wouldn’t say this. He explained calmly, “I can’t ignore any game, especially today’s doubles match. It touched me quite deeply and deserved to be recorded and watched carefully.”
Coach Chen always felt that this tone was a little familiar.
Wei Xiao helped his brother out, “Come, Coach, quickly come and see where the gap between me and the captain is.”
Wei Xiao’s enthusiasm wasn’t a lie. Chen Feng stared at him for a while and suddenly said, “Do you know why Yuan Ze always avoids Close?”
Wei Xiao, whose thoughts had been locked on reviewing the match, was stunned.
Bai Cai’s ears perked up instantly.
Tang Chen also looked at Chen Feng in surprise.
Chen Feng asked, “Do you want to know about the previous FTW?”
