Chapter 145: He wanted to hug him, wanted to kiss him, wanted to bring him hope personally. (2/2)
Wei Xiao took a look at the time and stood up. “As long as we grow fast enough, he won’t have a chance to calculate our moves.”
In the face of absolute strength, all bells and whistles were nothing but paper tigers.
After his voice fell, everyone in the whole room couldn’t help but look at him.
Wei Xiao beckoned. “Let’s go. It’s the last game. I want to win.”
He hadn’t touched his cell phone from the beginning to end. He didn’t dare look, didn’t dare ask, and didn’t dare to think about it.
All he could do right now was one thing: Win.
Win the game.
Take first place in the group stage.
Wait for the captain’s return!
The third match began.
In the first wave of bans, everyone’s eyes widened.
The game developers also really knew how to stir things up. The guessing and betting section was very fancy and even let the audience guess which player would use which talent.
There was doubt over whether or not Quiet would take the shadow thief, and it had become a hot topic.
80% of the voters felt that he wouldn’t, and the analysis they provided was very logical––
“He definitely can’t get it. Is TPT stupid? They were hammered so miserably in the previous game, how would they dare to let out the shadow thief to Little Lunatic Q again?”
“Even if TPT lets it out, I feel that FTW won’t take it, either.”
“What do you mean?”
“This is a trump card. Take a look at what kind of ghostly team TPT is, if they show their family wealth twice, do you really think that God Li will be merciful?”
“That makes sense! This is just a small game in the regular season. If they lose, it’s just one point and won’t affect either team’s ability to enter the playoffs.”
“There isn’t much difference between being first in the group and second in the group. They’re both in the winner group and will be able to abuse the weak in the first round of the playoffs.”
“I believe you, I believe you, I bet that Quiet won’t take the shadow thief!”
“100,000 betting coins right here. If I lose, I won’t bet again during this regular season!”
There were also 20% of the voters who guessed that he would take it. As for these people…
“I don’t care, I just want to see my cub’s nine light arcs.”
“I don’t care, my husband has to win, he must win!”
“Fighting, God Q! Don’t let your sister down!”
The yelling had just turned fierce when the votes for Wei Xiao taking the shadow thief suddenly increased by two million betting coins.
“Holy shit, where’d this rich person come from?”
“So many betting coins… this is a big move.”
“Who is it???”
“Who else other than my God Yi has so many betting coins?”
At this time, the camera switched to show the substitute bench and landed on Cong Yi, catching him as he was playing with his cell phone.
The scrolling comments: “…………………”
Glory had two betting coin emperors. One was Fu Li, which wasn’t surprising. Following this man, who could calculate three steps with every step in the canyon, was the right choice.
As for the other one, it was 3U’s vice-captain––Cong Yi.
This fellow was low-key and didn’t reveal anything, but he always went against the trend and turned the tables every time.
Like this time…
Everyone was already certain that Wei Xiao wouldn’t take the shadow thief, but he’d smashed millions down on the guess that he would take it.
Many players panicked…
Holy shit, was it too late to change their bets now?!
It was too late, because BP had already started, and the betting coins interface was locked.
TPT banned the berserker thief with their first ban, banned the immortal warlock with their second ban, banned the gold hunter with their third ban…
“F*ck, TPT really didn’t ban the shadow thief!”
It was now FTW’s turn to snatch up a talent. Wei Xiao was first and clicked accurately on the shadow thief. He’d already locked the talent in within the first second.
The vast majority of betting coins players, “…………………….”
Shit, they were bankrupt ahhhhhhhh!
Cong Yi looked at his account that now had over six million and smiled calmly.
Sigh, for professional players like them, they already had too much of these kinds of game props. It was meaningless to have more betting coins, but…
Looking at it made him happy.
As early as during FTW’s second match, Lu Feng had already finished his physiotherapy for the day. The check-up results from earlier had also come out.
The doctor in charge was happier than he was. His pen landed on the report, and he went over the data with him in detail, one by one.
Lu Feng sat beside him quietly, polite and attentive, listening carefully without missing a word.
Finally, the doctor slapped the board. “Persist with treatment! There will be results!”
Lu Feng calmly thanked him and stood up to leave the hospital.
It was a sunny day outside. The sun shone down from the sky, covering everything. Lu Feng’s fingertips were trembling.
Spring was already here.
But he hadn’t felt the budding warmth until today.
Lu Feng pulled out his cell phone and started up the live broadcast for the competition.
The scene that entered his eyes was the scene of victory. A huge ‘Victory’ that belonged to FTW.
The camera panned to the contestant seats, where his FTW were all brimming with wide smiles.
Lu Feng pressed the pause button.
The screen stopped moving.
Wei Xiao was still sitting in the e-sports chair, a smile on the corner of his lips, but it couldn’t cover a faint trace of worry in his dark eyes.
No one noticed, no one understood.
Only Lu Feng… knew what he was thinking about.
The emotions that surged up instantly made his heart soften and melt.
He couldn’t wait. He couldn’t even wait for another second.
He wanted to hug him, wanted to kiss him, wanted to bring him hope personally.
FTW’s last game against TPT had been very tense and anxious.
FTW had finally ended the game with a brilliant nine light arcs.
When shaking hands, Fu Li stared at Wei Xiao. “See you in the playoffs.”
Wei Xiao: “Next time, it’ll be 2:0.”
Fu Li smiled slightly, “Okay.”
They’d see who would 2:0 the other party in the playoffs!
The joy of winning the game after losing the first match was indescribable. Little Ning was all kinds of excited, hooking his arm around Yue Wenle’s shoulders, incredibly happy and proud.
Chen Feng shot him a look but didn’t say anything out loud. Even so, his meaning was conveyed: You’ll be crying when we review the replay.
FTW’s great hero, the Wei Xiao who’d led the whole team to win the last match in the game, was finding it difficult to smile.
Bai Cai noticed it. “What’s the matter, daddy shadow thief?”
Wei Xiao: “……”
Bai Cai glanced at the cell phone he was holding tightly and understood in his heart. “Go and report the good news to the captain. I’ll cover for you.”
He thought that Wei Xiao wanted to have a sweet moment.
After all, winning against TPT was something worth showing off.
The Brother Cai who’d been solo from birth felt a little choked.
Wei Xiao answered, “Mm.”
He took his cell phone with him and found a quiet place.
After they’d finished the game, gone through the interview process, and eaten something backstage, it was already 12:30PM.
The captain must have already finished with his check-up.
Why hadn’t he sent him a message?
Were the results bad?
Wei Xiao’s eyelashes trembled, and the joy of winning the game disappeared without a trace.
Instead of texting, he made an international call.
There was a busy tone coming from the other side––Sorry, the number you dialed can’t be connected for the moment.
Wei Xiao’s heart pounded. He was a little flustered.
Sure enough, the results must be bad.
Wei Xiao suppressed the cold that swept over his whole body and sent Lu Feng a message, “Captain, I won.”
After he sent it out, nobody replied to him right away. Wei Xiao’s eyes stung, and he had to hold back tears, “It’s okay, it’s okay no matter what. With me here, FTW will always win.”
Although I really want to fight shoulder to shoulder with you, it doesn’t matter––I’ll guard FTW.

It’s coming, a big gift bag.
