Once this thought entered his mind, Wei Xiao looked at the ice hunter on his screen and found it to be like a thorn in his eye no matter how he looked at it!
There was no way for Wei Xiao to remember everything from the 48 hours two years ago.
However, the game where hed been hammered down by Closes ice arrow while he played a shadow thief was one he remembered very clearly.
At the time, they had already soloed for a full day and night, and Wei Xiao, whod lost nearly 100 games, didnt even have the slightest intention of backing down at all. He would swiftly send Lu Feng another game invitation each time, and then quickly begin the next game.
All the way until the 101th game, when Wei Xiao took the king of solo shadow thief, and Lu Feng on the opposing side took the little brother of solo ice hunter.
At the time, Wei Xiao had stretched his head out and looked at Lu Feng, Whats the meaning of this?
Lu Feng: Hm?
Wei Xiao: Dont take it easy on me. Im not afraid of losing.
Picking the ice hunter was simply looking down on him. He wasnt interested in this kind of solo game with an unequal playing ground.
Despite staying up for an entire day and night, Lu Fengs eyes and eyebrows didnt carry many traces of fatigue. His lips lifted, Its taboo to underestimate your opponent.
Wei Xiao pouted, This is solo! An ice hunter without a supports protection is even worse than a lane soldier.
Lu Feng did not explain further, Start the game.DiiScver w storis on no//e()/lbin(.)c/o/m
Wei Xiao clicked start, but his mouth was still muttering complaints, I dont care, it doesnt count if I win this match. You have to continue soloing with me.
On the other side of their opposing computer screens, Lu Feng couldnt see Wei Xiaos expression, but his voice couldnt help but turn soft, Okay.
And then
Wei Xiaoxiao was so shocked from his loss that his mouth dropped open, This, this
Lu Feng glanced at him, Is the ice hunter weak?
Wei Xiao was still engrossed in his shock, Weak
Wei Xiao: The ice hunter is very weak, but youre too strong. Youre strong at everything, f*ck, Close, how could you be so powerful!
He stood up, his eyes locking on Lu Feng. Inside his gaze was undisguised heat, so hot that it made the tip of his heart burn.
Bai Cai had said one thing right.
Wei Xiao had really used him, then tossed him away.
Although, this using had been unintentional.
The fear of being dominated by an ice hunter two years ago once again pressed down on Wei Xiaos head.
However, he wasnt a person who would be overwhelmed by fear. On the contrary, the more pressured he was, the braver he would become, and he only became more excited when he faced the strong.
Ten minutes later, the ice hunter completed a three-piece set (three core pieces of equipment), and its DPS output instantly exploded. Even if Wei Xiaos economy wasnt behind, it was unfortunate that he couldnt even get close to the ice hunter despite having all-DPS gear.
If his economy had been better, Wei Xiao could switch to defensive equipment and sneak his way over to attack the ice hunter. As long as he could use a combination of skills, he would definitely be able to kill him.
Unfortunately, he wasnt able to snatch away any gold. He wasnt even able to snatch away a single dollar from this ice hunters hands!
Wei Xiao was exceedingly familiar with the terrain for solo, but the ice hunter seemed to be more familiar with it than he was.
Wei Xiao knew the shadow thief hero like the back of his hand, but the ice hunter on the opposite side could see through his thoughts completely.
Was he really so strong?!
Was growth this quick for players who spent a year under Close and competed in several big competitions?!
Wei Xiaos desire for battle was aroused. He hadnt felt this kind of feeling in a long time:
The blood in his entire body woke up, adrenaline surged, and his brain was unprecedentedly clear and bright, his five senses fully magnified.
He couldnt hear any external sounds. He only heard the footsteps in the canyon, the rustle of the grass, and the sound of skill releases
His fingers seemed to be directly connected to his brain. Every shake of his mouse, every press and rebound of the keyboard was extremely accurate and never felt cumbersome.
He liked this kind of feeling. Hed always been searching for this feeling.
The hot-blooded battle rush hed experienced two years ago when he fought against Close.
Tense, exciting.
This kind of excitement that mobilized all his nerves was the unyielding fighting spirit that could only be aroused when he met genuinely strong players!
On the other side.
Bai Cais scalp was tingling from watching.
Although he wasnt by Wei Xiaos side, and although it was across the internet, he could already feel the crazy energy of the shadow thief just from looking at the screen.
This was the boiling passion that could only be transmitted through the characters in the game. It was the surging fighting spirit that had been completely aroused and let loose. It was the passion of youth, the endless desire for victory!
Bai Cai thought back to the days two years ago when hed been Wei Xiaos support, following him around to challenge all the big clubs.
Arrogant, unbridled, reckless.
At the time, theyd been like wildly growing seeds that had been planted in the soil, slicing through the quiet China competition zone with unstoppable momentum.
Thats right.
It was no wonder that Lu Feng had always kept a little lunatic like this in mind and never forgotten him in the past two years.
There were many excellent players, but natural warriors could only be encountered by luck.
Wei Xiao was like a sword, with the courage and ability to break through the haze!
28 minutes in.
The battle situation was nearly settled. An ice hunter whod developed to such a stage wouldnt be afraid even if the shadow thief managed to sneak close. It could easily shoot the shadow thief down with two casual arrows.
Victory and defeat had already been determined, and there was no suspense about the outcome.
Bai Cai suddenly thought of something and spoke up, Oh, right! Wei Xiao also offered up an Easter egg tonight.
Lu Feng stared at the thief on the screen, Easter egg?
Bai Cai hurriedly said, Yes! This kid tossed down the gauntlet. Today, as long as anyone can win against him, hell be their training partner for life!
How wonderful, God Lu was definitely going to win against Wei Xiao. This little bastard could be Captain Lus training partner for life!
Bai Cai, who thought hed done a good thing, suddenly froze.
What?
What, what?
There was a huge Defeat on the computer screen.
God Lu lost?
God Lu, who had obtained such a huge advantage and was just one step short of shattering Wei Xiaos resurrection crystal, had lost?
How was that possible!
In that mere second
What happened?!
The game ended, and they returned to the match room. The chat box popped up with Wei Xiaos words: Whats the matter? Why surrender?
Bai Cai finally saw the light. It turned out that the captain had surrendered.
No, wait why?!
Why would he surrender?! He was just as confused as Wei Xiao.
He could only watch on as Lu Feng typed three words: Get some rest.
Then, he quit the room.
Bai Cai: ???
What had happened? What the hell just happened?!
Lu Feng stood up, picked up his sports water bottle, and said, You too. Get some sleep.
Bai Cai couldnt keep himself from asking, Captain, why did you surrender?
He was clearly about to win. If hed won, hed have locked in a lifelong training partner!
Lu Feng spoke a sentence very calmly.
Bai Cai froze.
Lu Feng had just left when Bai Cais cell phone exploded.
Wei Xiaos WeChat messages flew in one after another
Whats going on?
Yue Wenle left?
Why did he surrender?
Its not like laozi cant afford to lose!
Bai Cai thought of Lu Fengs words and felt a serious headache. He picked up his cell phone, thought about it, and asked, Havent you figured it out yet?
On the other side of the phone, Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment, then cursed like hed just been struck by lightning.
He called Bai Cai, The ice hunter just now was Close?
Bai Cai sighed, Yes.
Wei Xiao didnt say anything for a long time. He clutched the cell phone tightly, and his voice trembled slightly, He why did he surrender.
Two years ago, 48 hours. They had fought 144 matches, and Close had taken every game seriously.
This time, why had he
Bai Cai found it a little difficult to say out loud, It was my cheap mouth.
Wei Xiao: What?
Bai Cai said, I told him about the Easter egg.
Wei Xiao was momentarily unable to figure it out.
Bai Cai closed his eyes, and told Wei Xiao the words Lu Feng had left behind
Captain Lu told me to tell you, he doesnt need a training partner.
It was like Wei Xiao had pressed down on the mute button. There was no sound from the other end.
Bai Cai felt a strange pang of heartache, Old Wei, you
Beepbeepbeep, there was a busy tone from the phone. Wei Xiao had hung up.
Bai Cai:
Inside the single apartment.
Wei Xiao, who hadnt felt tired despite staying up all night, collapsed onto the bed at this moment.
The computer screen was still on, and he was alone in the empty room. There were only two sentences in the chat box.
What the matter? Why surrender?
Get some rest.
Captain Lu told me to tell you, he doesnt need a training partner.
F*ck!
Wei Xiao picked up the pillow and pressed it down against his forehead.
That was Close.
Their first time soloing after two years.
Close surrendered.
Because he didnt need a training partner.
He didnt need him.
Two years ago, hed flicked his hand and left. Being despised by others was something hed asked for.
He understood all the reasons. His brain understood, but at this moment, Wei Xiaos heart still felt like it had been stabbed by a knife.
He clutched tightly to the pillow, his knuckles prominent and white.
It was he whod let Close down. What gave him the right to feel wronged now?
Wei Xiao exhaled softly and stood up to take a shower.
He hadnt turned on the water boiler ahead of time, and the water that came out was ice cold.
Wei Xiao was chilled into shivering, and after washing up, he went back to his room.
He might as well sleep. Hed be fine again after he woke up.
Wei Xiao hugged Soybean, rubbed against his neck, and tried to go to sleep.
Soybean seemed to be aware of its masters mood and was well-behaved for once.
Wei Xiao couldnt fall asleep at all. The more he wanted to sleep, the more impossible it was to sleep. Those three words were on repeat whenever he closed his eyes.
He didnt need, he didnt need, he didnt need.
To hell with sleeping! Wei Xiao sat up.
Doggy: Aroo?
Wei Xiao stroked its head, Your daddys going to play games for a bit.
Soybean followed him out of bed and curled up at his feet.
Wei Xiao clicked to queue for a ranked match, wanting to become an emotionless rank pushing machine.
The first game had just ended when his cell phone rang.
Wei Xiao picked up his cell phone. It was a message from the accompanying player platform.
LU: So early?
Wei Xiao wasnt in the mood to be an accompanying player, but hed already collected the money and had to be dedicated to his job, Good morning, boss. Do you want to play.
The other side paused for a moment, You were up all night?
Wei Xiao was expressionless as he typed, No way, just woke up ^_^.
LU: Alright, lets play for a while.
Wei Xiao: Kay. Ill switch accounts.
If Close didnt need him, then forget it. There would always be someone who needed him. Look, his two million boss really needed him!
Wei Xiao told himself that he couldnt let his personal emotions affect his work, but unfortunately, his mood wasnt so easily controlled.
No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to improve the atmosphere.
After the third game ended, LU asked him, Bad mood?
Wei Xiaos mood was so bad it was rotten. No.
LU: Did something happen?
Sigh, the boss was rich and caring. He was a good person.
Wei Xiao felt really apologetic, Sorry, it affected you. These three games dont count.
LU: Its okay. You played very well, weve been winning.
Wei Xiao typed, Winning is a given. Youre spending money for entertainment. I shouldnt influence your mood.
LU: Its not so serious, but its better to say it if theres something on your mind. Of course, thats only if you dont mind.
Wei Xiaos heart was mired in depression. He really didnt mind chatting about it with this anonymous internet friend, Its a small matter
LU: Hm?
Wei Xiao thought about it for a moment, then used another method to express his thoughts, Its like this well, I accompanied my girlfriend to do her homework, and then when we came to a certain problem, I told her that if she could answer it, I would be her tutor for a lifetime.
But then, she gave up on the problem and said that she didnt need that.
After he finished, Wei Xiao felt that he was simply a genius.
Hed managed to explain this matter so clearly without disclosing any information at all!
FTW base.
Lu Feng stared at the chat box in surprise for a moment.
He shook his head and laughed quietly, then typed, You misunderstood.
Wei Xiao: How so?
LU: They dont need a tutor because they only want a boyfriend.
