Chapter 54: Were there any e-sports youths who didn't have dreams?

To hell with your ‘made in heaven’!

He’d been so worried that he’d been sleepless all night, and now he had to come over and listen to this bullshit?

Brother Cai had long seen through Wei Xiao. Even if this fellow said that he’d slept with the captain, regardless of whether who was the top or bottom, or how they were a negative distance apart, he wouldn’t believe a single word of it!

Wei Xiao’s mouth was incapable of speaking the truth.

Brother Cai was numb.

“So…” Bai Cai extracted the essence of his words, “The captain is switching lanes because he likes the top lane?”

Wei Xiao opened his mouth and came up with 180,000 reasons, “Indeed. The captain has been playing jungler for so many years. He thought he was in love with playing jungler, and it wasn’t until he saw me playing top lane that he fell for my free and easy play style and discovered his own love. It turns out that he’d been confused about his feelings, and what he loved deeply was me… my top lane. So…”

Bai Cai: “… Speak with the human language.”

Wei Xiao was delighted, “So, the captain is going to the top lane!”

Bai Cai’s heart was still uncertain, “Are you sure?”

This kid was usually as sharp as a devil and nobody could even think of tricking him, but as soon as it came to Close, it was a real, living attack on his mental intelligence.

Brother Cai had reason to suspect that the captain could coax the little lunatic into a little fool with just a few words.

For details, please refer to LU.

Wei Xiao’s happiness couldn’t be suppressed, “It’s true. You can rest assured that our captain feels no grievances or reluctance. He sincerely wants to go to the top lane, and I’m the person who has given him release!”

Bai Cai: “……” Can you f*cking not make it sound dirty!

Wei Xiao coughed, “It seems a little strange to say it that way, maybe it should be called ‘liberation’?”

Bai Cai: “……”

Shut up ahhhhh!!

Wei Xiao slapped his right fist against his left palm, “Unimportant. Just remember, the captain and I are a team born in heaven, and we’re good!”

Bai Cai didn’t want to remember this at all. He urgently wanted to find disinfectant and clean out his brain!

Bai Cai might be cursing Wei Xiao in his heart, but his face was relaxed.

After being worried all night, getting a result like this… was quite good.

As long as Little Lunatic Wei had ‘come back to life’, Little Ning and Old Yue would also follow suit.

Chen Feng had been right about this. With regards to the rhythm of the team, Wei Xiao was really gifted.

Wei Xiao’s heart remembered something else as well, “Old Bai, let me ask you something.”

Bai Cai was absent-minded. After the stone that had been pressing down on his heart finally fell to the ground, he even started to feel a little sleepy, “Hm?”

Wei Xiao: “Do you know anything about the captain’s alt account?”

Bai Cai’s sleepiness disappeared, and he was instantly awake, “Ah?”

Wei Xiao had suffered from insomnia for most of the night while comparing the captain with the boss. How could he not be worried about it now? “Think about it carefully, does our captain have an alt account called LU?”

Bai Cai: “……”

Wei Xiao stared at him.

Bai Cai’s face was as stable as an old dog’s, even as his heart shuddered through a wave of panic, “I don’t know, hey.”

Wei Xiao didn’t even blink.

Bai Cai pushed him away, “Why are you so close!”

Wei Xiao: “You’re lying.”

Bai Cai: F*ck!

Captain, come here quickly. I can’t deal with your little lunatic!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wei Xiao crossed his arms over his chest and looked at him, “Old Bai, you’re acting suspicious. I was just asking about the captain’s alt account. Why are you nervous?”

Bai Cai’s back was sweating. He thought quickly, “How the hell am I nervous. Are you sick or something? Isn’t LU your boss? How is that even related to the captain.”

Wei Xiao: “……”

Oh, yeah. Bai Cai had seen many screenshots of his conversations with the boss, which was why he knew about the boss’s ID.

Ummm, was he overthinking it?

Bai Cai had just walked on the edge between life and death. His heart had practically gotten a whole size bigger, “Could it be that you’re suspecting that your boss is the captain?”

When Wei Xiao saw him acting so logical and righteous, he became more and more uncertain.

Bai Cai tossed this problem away quickly and neatly, “If you’re suspicious, why don’t you just go and ask the captain about it?”

Wei Xiao fell silent for a moment, then said in a small voice, “What should I do if it really is him?”

When had Bai Cai ever seen him act like this? He was shocked, “What are you affecting embarrassment for? Has there ever been anything that can make you feel embarrassed?”

Wei Xiao was really feeling embarrassed, “F*ck, I’ve had so many heart to heart talks with the boss!”

Bai Cai knew about all the stupid things he’d done and was left speechless for a moment.

Wei Xiao looked up to the heavens and sighed, “Also, I told the boss that the captain is my girlfriend, and told the captain that the boss is my girlfriend. If the two of them are the same person, then I…”

Bai Cai thought that he was going to say that he’d feel too ashamed to live.

Little Lunatic Wei’s brain circuits were really different from those of ordinary people. “What’ll I do if the captain misunderstood?”

Bai Cai: “… Misunderstand what.”

Wei Xiao: “Misunderstand and think that I want him.”

Bai Cai: “……”

Wei Xiao: “Misunderstand and think that I want him to be my girlfriend.”

Bai Cai: “……………”

Wei Xiao was still overthinking it, “Misunderstand and think that I’m stepping on two boats!”

No way. He took the captain as his girlfriend one moment, and then treated his boss as his girlfriend the next. He was really a scum man!

Bai Cai couldn’t hold back anymore, “Shut up and stop thinking!”

Wei Xiao also didn’t know why he was suspecting the captain like this.

Would the captain go out to find an accompanying player? Spend two million just for an accompanying player?

However, what if the captain had long known it was him?

Wei Xiao’s heart trembled.

Regret!

Wei Xiaoxiao was really regretful right now!

Why hadn’t he secretly turned on the captain’s cell phone last night? That way, if he’d sent a message to the boss, and the captain received it, wouldn’t he…

Wei Xiao was startled––

Forget it, the captain really mustn’t receive it!

However…

Maybe he should find a chance to try it out that night?

He didn’t have to look at it too much, he just had to send a message.

As long as the captain’s cell phone didn’t light up, he could rest assured.

While the two of them were talking, they’d already arrived at the restaurant. They encountered Gary when they sat down.

Wei Xiao was quick to greet him, “Old G, you can do it!”

There would be free matching in the afternoon. L&P really should work hard.

Gary was enraged, “… Get lost!”

Gary’s pronunciation of other words might not be that good, but this phrase was particularly accurate. After all, he heard Yuan Ze curse every day.

Wei Xiao wasn’t interested in eating, but Bai Cai was greedy. When he heard that there was baked lobster at noon today, he couldn’t sit still anymore, “Just wait, I’ll go and get you some lobster!”

Wei Xiao: “You might as well squeeze me some watermelon juice instead.”

Bai Cai: “What do you know? Watermelon juice is ten dollars per cup, while lobster babies are 300 each. Do you know how to calculate accounts or not?!”

Wei Xiao waved his hand, “Okay okay okay, whatever Brother Wealth says.”

Bai Cai walked off in high spirits.

A while later, Wei Xiao had already eaten his fill, yet Bai Cai hadn’t come back.

It was just a baked lobster. Was there really a queue for it?

Wei Xiao finished off the last piece of watermelon and got up to look for him.

The restaurant was very big, but the high and mighty support player, Brother Cai, was someone whose eyes could pierce through the fog of the Glory canyon every day. How could he get lost?

He went to the barbecue area and saw several baked lobsters, but he didn’t see Brother Cai.

Where was he?

Wei Xiao took out his cell phone and was just about to call Bai Cai when he heard someone call out to him, “Quiet!”

Wei Xiao looked back and discovered that it was 3U’s mid-laner, a relatively short fellow.

Wei Xiao remembered his name, “Li Chun? What’s up.”

Li Chun said, “I just saw God Bai in the toilet. It seems that there’s people blocking his way.”

Wei Xiao froze.

Li Chun wanted to say something else, but Wei Xiao had already headed towards the toilet with big strides.

Li Chun’s heart was very uneasy. After all, they were from the same competition zone. FTW and 3U had always had a good relationship, and Bai Cai was quite popular. He was famous, but didn’t put on any airs and often took care of newcomers. Everyone liked him a lot.

And he didn’t know what was up with that group of people. They looked like an European team, but they weren’t the Black Knights. It might be OD?

Was there anything between God Bai and OD?

Li Chun wasn’t very clear about it, and he’d wanted to go up to FTW’s training room upstairs to call someone over. But he’d seen Quiet on the way there, so he’d quickly told him about it.

But… he’d better still go upstairs and let FTW’s coach know.

Wei Xiao soon arrived at the bathroom. He heard a familiar voice.

“Old Bai, you’re really nostalgic. The newcomer from FTW was your old teammate in the youth training camp, right?”

“He already threw you away and ran off. Why are you looking out for him?”

“Ah, you look so smart, but you’re so stupid inside.”

“Don’t stay in FTW anymore. Come to OD, I’ll look out for you.”

Wei Xiao’s eyes were keen. He could pick out the Chinese person amongst the crowd of Westerners.

Wei Xiao knew that person. Although he’d never seen him in person, he actually knew his name.

In 2018, the Glory training camp’s newcomer king had been Wei Xiao; in 2020, it was Ning Zhehan; in 2019, it was this man. His name was Zhou Xingfei.

Bai Cai and the words ‘newcomer kings’ really couldn’t be separated, but the relationships were messy and chaotic.

There was no need to mention Wei Xiao.

Ning Zhehan was now also one of his teammates.

Zhou Xingfei was the most ball breaking one. He’d tricked Bai Cai into losing one million yuan, then dusted off his ass and gone abroad.

Brother Cai had always been greedy for money. After losing this one million yuan, he’d shut himself up for a whole month.

Wei Xiao had been busy with his own studies at the time. When he came back and saw Bai Cai, he’d been shocked.

Brother Cai had always been skinny, but in a single short month, he’d gotten two sizes thinner, and his small body simply looked like it would topple with a breeze.

At the time, Bai Cai hadn’t yet entered FTW. He’d been very confused about his future, and all he wanted to do was to roll himself up and go back home to raise pigs.

Wei Xiao had been startled and had quickly dragged the man back. It took a long time before Wei Xiao could help him stabilize his emotions and understand what was going on.

Two years ago, after Wei Xiao had left, Bai Cai hadn’t had a smooth time of it.

In the professional circles, the support position had always been an awkward one.

Strong, rich teams would place a lot of importance on the support position. FTW’s previous captain, Yan Jiang, had been valued at an amazingly high price.

However, ordinary teams really didn’t pay much attention to the support position. This was because the funds for smaller teams were limited, and they could only use their limited funds to fight for better core players. For them, any player could fill the support position and do a passable job of it.

Bai Cai had been a rookie at the time, but because he had followed Wei Xiao and kicked up a big ruckus while in the training camp, he’d been signed by a second rate team.

This was a pretty good start for a newcomer, but unfortunately, the team wasn’t very humane, and they played favorites, allowing others in the team to suppress Bai Cai.

Bai Cai was wronged for an entire season. In 2019, he met that year’s newcomer king, Zhou Xingfei.

At the time, Bai Cai had rose colored filters when it came to newcomer kings.

Even though Zhou Xingfei and Wei Xiao had different personalities, he couldn’t help but be partial towards this newcomer king.

After all, they had all come from the same youth training camp.

This bastard Zhou Xingfei had made use of his relationship with Bai Cai to increase his own value.

He encouraged Bai Cai, “Don’t stay in that garbage team. Come with me to AE. You can play support for me, and the two of us can definitely beat out a bloody path!”

AE could be considered as a first rate team in the Chinese competition zone, and their playoff results had always been very good.

Who wasn’t ambitious in the e-sports circle?

Back then, Bai Cai’s passion hadn’t yet faded. He was swayed by Zhou Xingfei’s words.

“But I still have a year to go before my contract with Boro expires.”

Zhou Xingfei said, “Cancel the contract! How many years can professional players play for? Why waste time in such a garbage team?!”

Bai Cai hesitated.

Zhou Xingfei asked him, “How much is the penalty for breach of contract?”

Bai Cai had always been sensitive to money, “About a million.”

Zhou Xingfei sneered, “It’s only one million. You’ve already been playing professionally for a year. Haven’t you been able to save up that amount?”

Bai Cai was a support position player. The team didn’t value him, and they hadn’t helped promote him. He wasn’t popular, and his livestream room was cold and quiet whenever he streamed.

Zhou Xingfei saw that Bai Cai was hesitating and said, “Forget it. If you don’t want to be my teammate, then I won’t ask you.”

These words stimulated Bai Cai. He said, “If we go to AE, will we be starters?”

Zhou Xingfei: “Of course.”

Bai Cai paid over one million yuan in liquidated damages and terminated his contract with the Boro team. As a result…

Zhou Xingfei had climbed up to new heights and was signed away by the European club OD.

Bai Cai went to look for Zhou Xingfei. Zhou Xingfei felt no guilt at all, “Go to AE. It’s not a problem. AE is much better than Boro!”

At that moment, Bai Cai understood that he had been blind. He’d been played.

Wei Xiao hadn’t known that Zhou Xingfei had also come to attend winter training.

This fellow actually dared to come see Bai Cai?

Who gave him such courage.

Was it an ambulance!

Wei Xiao opened up his cell phone and clicked a few things, then placed it in his pocket and stepped forward, “Oh, isn’t this God Zhou?”

The three people from OD turned their heads and noticed Wei Xiao.

There was a cracking sound in Bai Cai’s heart. Wei Xiao’s current appearance was the same as the one he’d seen just last night…

They were no longer in the youth training camp. If Wei Xiao hit someone, he would be banned from playing!

Bai Cai ws just about to speak up when he heard Zhou Xingfei say, “Wei Xiao?”

Wei Xiao stepped forward and spoke in English, “God Zhou, when are you paying back the one million that you owe our White? Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Xingfei obviously hadn’t expected Wei Xiao to say such a thing as soon as he appeared, and he’d also used fluent English, ensuring that his teammates could all understand.

Zhou Xingfei tossed back, “Since when do I owe him money!”

Wei Xiao: “You important people all have many things to consider and are often forgetful. Back then, you tricked him into terminating his contract, then turned around, dusted off your butt and just left. Do you really not owe him for that?”

Zhou Xingfei immediately defended himself, “When did I trick him? Didn’t he go to AE afterwards?”

Bai Cai had indeed gone to AE. He didn’t play in a single game and sat on the bench for an entire month before being tossed to the secondary team and left to fend for himself.

Wei Xiao was too lazy to deal with his nonsense and got to the point, “How about this. We’re all professional players, and fighting will get us banned from playing. How about a training match instead?”

Zhou Xingfei: “Whatever.”

Wei Xiao: “If you lose, our White doesn’t want that one million back. It’ll be a gift for you to buy a coffin with. But you have to bow to White and apologize.

Zhou Xingfei was so angry he was laughing, “Why should I do that? Why should our OD play a training match with your FTW?”

Wei Xiao’s tone was indifferent, “Because if your OD wins, I will personally take out two million as your fee for your hard work.”

These words were spoken in English. The other people from OD were shocked.

Two million wasn’t a small sum!

Bai Cai abruptly lifted his head and looked at Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao narrowed his eyes, “You don’t dare to agree? God Zhou, how can you be so spineless.”

xiin: badass Wei Xiao is so badass~
