Chapter 115: Captain, did you go there to treat your shoulder or study how to speak words of love?
Glory [e-sports]
The blood thiefâs full name was the blood raven thief.
Before tonight, this was a hero talent that sat on the bench. Not to mention in professional games, it was very rarely used even in passers-by games.
The blood raven thief was actually very cool with his dark tuxedo and top hat outfit. In his hand was a black cane, and he had a blood-colored raven on his left shoulder.
When this talent had just launched, it had been a favorite for countless players.
Not only did the blood raven thief look handsome, it also had remarkable skills; its passive would trigger a healing effect with every three basic attacks, leaving a blood raven feather that marked the opponent; its first skill was called the blood ravenâs kiss, which would forcibly control the opponent for half a second and mark its opponent; the second skill was feather transform, which was a two section movement skill for attack and escape; its third skill was called raven fall, which could cause explosive damage once it hit a target that was marked by its raven feathers.
Its final ultimate move was called blood oath. As the name suggested, it took blood as an oath. Raven feathers would fill the skies, absorbing the blood of its enemies and using it to recover its own health.
From a technical perspective, this talent could both attack and defend. It also had a high survivability, and it was actually very good.
This had indeed been the case when the talent spec first launched. Later on, the game developer daddies had nerfed him down, reducing the amount of health it could recover and increasing the difficulty of its operations. Theyâd chopped this cool brother into pieces.
It could attack? Oh, the âraven fallâ that could cause explosive damage had become as useless as chicken feathers.
It could defend? The feather transformâs movement directions had been reversed. Those who had crippled hands often didnât understand why they ended up flying into someone elseâs sword when they actually wanted to run away.
The worst was the ultimate move: blood oath. Originally, the raven feathers would fall, and all living beings would lose health. Now⦠all living beings would hammer him down into a little brother.
It was with such a talent spec that Wei Xiao managed to perform beautifully.
GOQâs attempt to turn the tables was really beautiful. Regardless of whether it was their control or their DPS, all of it was there.
And Wei Xiao really had been caught off guard. That plummeting health bar proved everything.
But he didnât panic. The blood thief abruptly used feather transform and attacked the squishy storm hunter. The passive that triggered after three attacks triggered his own healing effect as well as marking the storm hunter, then the blood ravenâs kiss controlled the storm hunter who had wanted to attack him back just as he opened up the blood oath.
As the red ravenâs feathers covered the sky, the storm hunterâs health bar plummeted like crazy, while the health bar of the blood thief whoâd been about to die gradually filled up.
ââGive me your blood, so that I can live.
This was the blood raven thiefâs ability to fight back!
GOQâs death knight responded quickly. Seeing that the storm hunter couldnât hold on, heâd already started to help deal damage. Unfortunately, the blood raven thief whoâd used his ultimate move to recover half his health didnât retreat at all. He used his positioning to avoid being hit, then used the feather transform to pull away. It seemed like he was about to run away, but when the death knight chased after him, he turned around and used another three attacks to trigger his passive as well as the blood ravenâs kiss.
The death knight whoâd been controlled was stunned, and the blood thief whose skills were off cooldown used âraven fallâ again. The death knight who only had half his health fell under the blood thiefâs black cane.
Then, Ning Zhehan arrived, and the giant shaman took the brunt of the immortal warlockâs wave of skills. Finally, his kill was taken away by the blood ravenâs kiss.
After this wave, GOQâs vitality suffered great damage and they were left completely unable to lift up their heads again.
So, this ambush that had been brewing for such a long time, such a beautiful team fight opening, such awesome DPS, in the endâ¦
Not only did they not manage to kill the blood thief, theyâd also sent out a triple kill. The sound of crying in GOQâs team chat was really loud!
In the first game, FTW exploded GOQâs crystal and won the game with overwhelming momentum.
In the second game, GOQ was just like a group of scared chickens, insta-banning the blood raven thief.
The scrolling comments were filled with sighs, âHey, hey, hey, I still want to see God Q show off his blood raven!â
âGOQ, donât cower, whatâs the point in banning? There are a total of six ban spots, can you ban them all?â
They really couldnât ban them all. GOQ was currently performing the very meaning of ârobbing Peter to pay Paulâ.
As they banned and continued to ban, the back of the flustered GOQ coach chilled, âThe berserker thief!â
F*ck, theyâd forgotten to ban the berserker thief.
GOQâs jungler was still young. He spoke naively, âPerhaps FTW wonât snatch up the jungler position in the first slot.â
And thenâ¦
Wei Xiao, who was in the first position, took the berserker thief.
Everyone in GOQ: ââ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â
GOQâs jungler Yuyu almost cried out loud.
This team didnât play cards according to common sense. They did whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted QAQ!
The Wei Xiao whoâd gotten the berserker thiefââ
Well, forget it, letâs not talk about this game. Weâll leave GOQ with a pair of pants at least.
In FTWâs second game in the regular season, they crushed their opponents 2:0.
The atmosphere amongst the fans was driven up by their results, and the old fans whoâd been worried also felt a little relieved.
Thatâs good, thatâs good, although their captain wasnât there, FTW was still very strong!
This newcomer Quiet was really capable. He was a tough guy who could smash down the cresting waves on the beach with his strength!
Of course, there were also more than a few haters and jealous people, âF fans, wake up. Theyâre up against 3U next week, weâll wait for your Daddy Q to show his true colors then.â
The fans held up the fort, âAsleep is someone that One Lamp Grandmaster brought out, so how will that be showing his true colors? Thatâs more like a tiger coming down from the mountain!â
âWhat does solo amount to? Your great demon king is number one in the world for solo, but what use is that? They still end up doing round trips in the global competitions.â
âHaha, has your 3U ever gotten a championship?â
âOur 3U performed better in the globals than your FTW!â
âItâs just luck, donât you feel ashamed talking about it?â
Alright then, fighting every day was normal. The China competition zone would be really cold and desolate if there wasnât any fighting.
After the game ended, and they went backstage, Wei Xiaoâs eyes went straight to his cell phone.
Brother Cai glanced over and felt that his heart was as clear as a mirror: It had been such a great game, he must want to show off to his sweetheart.
Brother Caiâs teeth hurt.
In fact, Wei Xiao didnât really want to show off. He wanted to go look at the live broadcast studio and see LUâ¦
Although heâd told Lu Feng not to waste money, he still wanted to see if heâd said anything in particular.
Sigh.
Wei Xiao was a little melancholy. He hadnât been able to talk properly with the captain all day; he missed him.
He hadnât felt it during the game, but this emptiness after the game could only be filled up by the captain.
Chen Feng: âWhoâs going up for the interview?â
Heâd asked this intentionally.
Otherwise, Brother Cai wouldâve gone up onto the stage with just a look from him.
At this time, Wei Xiao was still suffering from the bitterness of parting. He might as well accept an interview to relax. âIâll go.â
Chen Feng nodded, âYes.â
Today, Wei Xiao could go up for the interview because firstly, the question about Close leaving the team had already been dealt with by Bai Cai yesterday, and it wouldnât be interesting if the host asked it again today; secondly, Quietâs performance had really been brilliant today, especially that counter attack with the blood thief that had stunned the whole audience. With a topic like that to focus on, they wouldnât bring up old affairs again.
Sure enough, Chen Feng had figured out the host thoroughly. When Wei Xiao came up onto the stage, she didnât think of asking any gossip questions at all. It was allâ¦
âGod Q, the blood thief was played really well today!â
The host was a girl, and girls always had a natural sense of goodwill towards little brothers who looked so good.
Not only was he handsome, his smile was a little wicked, and it was just all too attractive.
Wei Xiao was very easygoing, âStandard operations.â
To hell with your âstandardâ! Everyone in GOQ threw up blood.
The host smiled broadly and continued asking, âThis standard level is really not the same as usual, especially during that last 1v3 wave. When faced with such a tough situation, how did God Q manage to turn the tables?â
Wei Xiao spoke very sincerely, âI didnât think too much about itâ¦â
The host was all ears, âOh?â
Wei Xiao: âI just did it.â
Host: ââ¦â¦â
Audience: ââ¦â¦â
The scrolling comments were filled with âhahahahahaâ, and then someone started the trash talk, âBe careful, GOQ, the three of you have been surrounded by Quiet!â
Host: âCough, your brave and fearless momentum is worth learning from.â
Wei Xiao nodded, âThere are also some details, is there a video replay here? I can tell you about it in detailâ¦â
The host was a little confused, â???â
What was going on?
Bai Cai, who was backstage, felt his heart stutter, âF*ck, donât give him the video replay, absolutely donât!â
Ning Zhehan & Yue Wenleâs reactions were also, ââ¦â¦â
All the players whoâd seen the grandmasterâs âgame replay videosâ all sucked in a breath, wishing they could reach out their hands up in prayer and beg to be let off.
Fortunately, the interview table didnât have this function. Although the host was curious, she could only try to smooth things out and say, âWhen it comes to a replay, weâd better leave it to the commentators.â
Wei Xiao: âAlright.â
Whatâs the deal with your regretful tone? It feels like you really would blow your own horn if you were given the opportunity.
Yes.
The grandmasterâs disciples all expressed, âHe really can!â
After the game, they went out to eat as usual.
Because of Brother Caiâs presence, Wei Xiao forced himself not to look at his cell phone.
After they got to the restaurant, and everyone sat down, Wei Xiao got up, âIâm going to the bathroom.â
Bai Cai stared at him.
Wei Xiao stuffed his left hand into his trouser pocket and went out, pretending not to have seen anything.
Brother Cai sent him a message, âHold on, donât get carried away!â
Wei Xiao: ââ¦â¦â
Seeing that he wasnât replying, Bai Cai âthreatenedâ him, âBe careful about not making the captain lose interest in treatment.â
Wei Xiao regretted it. If heâd known it would be like this, he wouldâve let Brother Cai get immersed in the team pressure and worry about whether he could hold up, rather than talk to him about this issue.
Bai Cai felt a little more at ease after giving his warnings, but then he saw Wei Xiaoâs reply, âAs long as the captain doesnât flirt with me, Iâll be able to hold on.â
Brother Cai: ââ¦â¦â¦â¦â
Half a beat later, Brother Cai replied to him, âWhat are you thinking? How could the captain flirt with you!â
When you were teasing him blindly during the winter training camp, the captain managed to remain unmoved and unaffected. Nowâ¦
In any case, Brother Cai couldnât imagine how the cold and aloof great demon king would flirt with people.
Wei Xiao clicked open the live broadcast room. When he saw the pink LU, the corners of his mouth couldnât be held down at all.
He made a voice call.
The voice of the great demon king who would never flirt with people was so sexy it could tease people to death, âAwesome.â
Wei Xiaoâs ears itched. He clutched at his cell phone and spoke in a low voice, âDidnât you say you wouldnât give more gifts.â
Lu Feng paused, âI couldnât help it.â
Wei Xiaoâs eyes curved, âThereâs no reason why you couldnât help it.â
Lu Feng: âThe blood thief is too attractive, I couldnât help wanting to give him gifts.â
Wei Xiao: ââ¦â¦â
F*ck! He would die from the captainâs sweet talk sooner or later
âCaptainâ¦â Wei Xiao tried hard to pull things back in the proper direction, âDid you go there to treat your shoulder or study how to speak words of love?â
Lu Feng sighed, âNeither.â
Wei Xiaoâs heart was itchy, âEh?â
Lu Feng: âIâm here to miss you.â
Wei Xiao: ââ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â
Lost, he lost.
Wei Xiao, whoâd won the game, lost to his boyfriend instead!
Wei Xiaoâs heart was still focused on proper matters. After a few sweet exchanges, he asked, âYou went to get a check up yesterday, howâd it go?â
Lu Feng reassured him, âSystematic physiotherapy will begin the day after tomorrow.â
Wei Xiao was worried, âWill the physiotherapy hurt?â
Lu Feng: âNo.â
Wei Xiao paused briefly, then continued, âYou have to listen to the doctorâs words, and itâs enough to just send me voice messages when youâre idle. Donât tire out your shoulder.â
Lu Fengâs heart felt soft and warm, âItâs not that serious.â
Wei Xiao was reluctant to hang up, âIs the blood thief really that attractive?â
Lu Feng: ââ¦â¦â
Wei Xiao teased him deliberately, âSo attractive that you couldnât help giving gifts.â
Lu Feng satisfied him, âBecause itâs you.â
Wei Xiao: â!!â
Heâd clearly been looking for sugar to eat, but when he really got it, it was so sweet that he himself couldnât stand it.
In view of how he might take advantage of how there was no competition now to fly to North America overnight if the conversation continued, he could only restrain himself and hang up the phone.
He didnât want to go back to the room after hanging up. He dawdled instead and sent Lu Feng a message, âI want to see you.â
Lu Feng: âWeâll video call when you get back to the base.â
Wei Xiao: âNo way, you should sleep.â It was already very early in the morning over there.
Lu Feng: âTomorrow?â
Wei Xiao licked his lips, âTake a photo for me.â
Lu Feng: ââ¦â¦â
Wei Xiao: âJust one photo, let me see you.â
âWuwuwu, how could we have failed in that wave!â
âI feel like I didnât make any mistakes. Take a look at my ultimate move, the blood thief was directly sent flying.â
âI didnât mess up, either. Look at my series of linked moves, they were all full-on, okay!â
âMy arrows also caused enough damage, take a look at how much health he dropped.â
âButâ¦â
It was the three from GOQ who were crying there bitterly. This restaurant was full every day, and those who didnât make a reservation would have to wait. The three of them were waiting in the waiting area, watching the game replay and crying loudly as they waited.
Wei Xiao just happened to pass by.
The waiter had already peeked at them several times.
Did they need to go so far? It was just a game, did they have to take it so seriously?
An outsider who didnât watch e-sports wouldnât understand.
GOQâs little jungler, âQuiet isnât human. Take a look at that feather transformâ¦â
A light, floating voice inserted itself into the conversation with no sense of dissonance, âThis feather transform is just routine operation. Pay attention to my basic attacks after the feather transform. The second part of the feather transform followed by a blood ravenâs kiss, with a third basic attack at the same time. The passive healing effect was the key point to survival.â
The three people from GOQ hadnât yet realized that there was an additional person amongst them.
âYeah, yeah, this passive health recovery is too accurate, it was just enough to offset the damage from my arrows.â
âIn fact, thatâs nothing much. The real highlight is the positioning later on. Do you see that? That made me able to avoid the collision from the death knight.â
âYes, yes, yes, Laozi felt that it was 100% going to hit, but he ended up dodging it!â
âAnd here, you know the blood oathâs passive? It can grant immunity against the full amount of damage from the target who had the most health sucked away, thatâs why the storm hunter couldnât kill me.â
âHoly shit, this passive has conditions that need to be met. Did Quiet manage to meet the conditions? How could he be so calm and self-sustaining in such a short time, in such a dangerous situation?â
âItâs nothing much, itâs just natural talent.â
The three people whoâd realized something finally stepped out of their crying mood.
They noticed that something wasnât right and turned aroundââ
Wei Xiao gave them a friendly smile.
The three from GOQ: ââ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦..â
