Chapter 216.1: Dropping trash talk before the game? They really had to respect Little Lunatic Wei! (1/2)
Everyone had difficulty believing it all the way until Y1’s van pulled into the base.
Wei Xiao took the lead in welcoming them, his smile sunny as he greeted them.
Yan Jiang was the third person to get out of the van. He was stunned for a brief moment when he saw Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao: “Good evening, Captain Yan!”
Yan Jiang: “Hello.”
Wei Xiao: “Have you had dinner?”
Wei Xiao continued before Yan Jiang could answer, “If you haven’t eaten, preparations have been made at the base. You can eat first if you want.”
Yan Jiang: “I’ve eaten.”
Wei Xiao led them inside. “Alright, then. Let’s quickly get started, there’s a lot of games to play!”
It just so happened that FTW had arrived at this time, too. The old and new bases were close to each other, and walking over was a good way to help digest after their meal.
Ning Zhehan’s spirit had left his body from the moment he had received news of their training matches.
“Brother Le, I didn’t hear wrong, right? L&P, EVE, Pro, Y1?”
“We’re going to play a round robin competition with them at the old base??”
“Last year’s global top four are going to accompany us to train?”
Yue Wenle crunched and nodded.
Ning Zhehan snatched away the potato chips in his hand. There was a crunching sound. “Holy shit, I’m so nervous!”
How the hell was this a training match? This was a rehearsal for the global games!
Wei Xiao’s eyes were sharp, and he spotted Lu Feng from a distance.
He was no longer in a hurry to enter the building. Instead, he hurriedly waved his hand. “Captain, over here!”
If he had greeted Y1 with a sunny smile, then at this time, his smile was so full of vitality that it shone in all directions, bright enough to blind people!
Did he have to go so far with his captain, who he could see at any time with ease––this was what everyone from Y1 thought––the two captains were both cold air generators, but the Y1 members would never dare to act so enthusiastically towards their own captain.
Lu Feng noticed the members of Y1 when he came over and nodded in greeting. His attitude was polite and distant, but human emotion appeared for a brief instant in those cold, black eyes when he looked at Wei Xiao.
With this contrast, the members of Y1 got it: No wonder Quiet was so daring. It turned out that the great demon king indulged him.
Yan Jiang never showed his anger or happiness, and there was no sense of nostalgia or sadness about revisiting his old home to be seen on his face. There was just an aura of unchanging calm that could persist for millions of years.
No one knew what he was thinking, just like how no one knew that the fragmented Team of Gods would reunite with FTW in this way three years later.
Yan Jiang, Yuan Ze, Xie He, Kim Sung-hyun, Lu Feng.
They were once the five most dazzling players in the China competition zone. They’d experienced splitting up, confusion, torment, and ups and downs, only to return to the place where their dreams had begun. All they could feel was that while material things remained the same, the people involved had changed.
The base was still the same base.
But the people who’d been in it had scattered.
Five teams. That was 25 people even if they only counted the starters.
Xiang Liu had led some people over and had started making arrangements early on.
The base had two large training rooms and a conference room, which was just enough for their use.
With five teams, there could only be two pairs of two fighting at any one time. The remaining team would have to wait out a game, and this was what the conference room was for. Of course, they could also go and watch the game directly in the training rooms.
Xiang Liu had also made arrangements for each team’s entourage. Drinks and snacks had been transported over from the base early on and placed where they could be obtained easily so that everyone could eat and drink as they wished.
Brother Liu was very steady when handling such things. There was no need for the players to concern themselves at all as he’d already made thorough arrangements.
The schedule for matches was also listed and put up. Five teams playing two round robin cycles meant that there would be quite a few games. Each game would last around 40 minutes, and it would be enough for them to play all the way until the next day.
However, everyone was in high spirits, and let alone playing until the second day, even playing until the third day wouldn’t be much of a problem.
There was no need for an exchange of greetings with so many people present, and they started playing directly. The first game in Training Room A was FTW vs L&P; Training Room B was EVE vs Pro. Y1 would just be watching the games for the time being.
Wei Xiao felt a bit regretful about this.
Yuan Ze noticed. “What, you don’t want to fight with me?”
Wei Xiao sighed.
Yuan Ze: “Scared of me?”
Wei Xiao: “Last year’s champion team is here, but we have to ‘start off’ with the runner-up team. How could I not be regretful?”
Yuan Ze: “………………”
Gary, who understood Chinese: “Quiet, you’re dead for sure!”
Wei Xiao comforted himself, “According to the rules, the opening game should be between the champions and the runner-ups. Looking at it that way, if you’re the runner-ups, then are we the champions?”
The implication was that they’d already locked in this year’s global championship!
Everyone in the training room who understood Chinese: “…………”
Dropping trash talk before the game? They really had to respect Little Lunatic Wei!
Old G was successfully enraged and swore a hard oath. If he didn’t win this game, then he’d write his name upside down!
This was the effect that Wei Xiao wanted. He wanted to really fight! They had to play all out with such a good opportunity!
Y1 was watching the games. They chose to stay in Training Room A.
Little Ning was nervous enough to explode. As soon as he thought of how the person sitting behind him was Yan Jiang from the champion team from last year, the legendary Y1, he had difficulty holding the mouse in his hand!
Wei Xiao was different. He turned back. “Captain Yan, come over here.”
