Wei Xiao hurriedly explained how he’d made a post full of trash talk on Weibo and put on a pitiful act, “They’ll definitely charge in like crazy and take turns to f*ck with me. I’m going to end up abused into tears!”

Lu Feng had seen his Weibo post a long time ago and narrowed his eyes at him, “You can be abused into tears?”

He hadn’t even made him cry yet. How could anyone else do so?

Wei Xiaoxiao redoubled his efforts, “That’s very possible. Captain, think about it. When I abused them before, they were all cubs from a reserve team or even the youth training camp. Now, they’re all starters in their teams, star players who have had a lot of experience in competitions. Who knows how many times their level has gone up!”

“As for me,” Wei Xiao was about to get some eye drops to fake tears, “I’ve left for two years, and had to rely on abusing noobs for a living every day. I’ve made no progress!”

Those abused ‘noobs’ would really want to kill him if they heard this.

Lu Feng really wavered for a moment.

Wei Xiao continued to pour oil to the fire, “Captain, not only is this helping me, it’s also helping our FTW. If I get abused tragically, it’s FTW’s reputation that will be affected!” Of course, he was actually very confident about winning. Whoever it was, other than Close, they were all his little brothers.

However, Wei Xiao didn’t mind putting on a little brother act in order to wheedle some solo matches out of Lu Feng.

Lu Feng looked down at him.

Wei Xiao looked pitiful, “Captain~!” He dragged out the last syllable.　

Lu Feng: “……”

Wei Xiao clasped his hands together, “Please!”

Lu Feng turned around and headed to the double training room.

How could Wei Xiao not understand what that meant? He slid in like a slippery fish, then locked the door behind them immediately.

Wei Xiao laughed sheepishly, “Don’t even think of leaving through this door tonight.”

For a moment, Lu Feng’s hands felt a little itchy.

On the other side, Yue Wenle, who’d just finished all his training, headed to the #2 training room with four big bags of chips.

Ning Zhehan had just come out. He saw this and asked, “Brother Le, you’re…”

Yue Wenle carefully set the chips on the table, and deliberately tore open a pack. He chomped on a chip before saying, “I’m waiting for Wei Xiao.”

Ning Zhehan blinked, “Solo?”

Yue Wenle: “Yes.”

Ning Zhehan was shocked, “Did you guys… make an appointment?”

“No.” Yue Wenle denied, but he was very certain, “He will come find me.”

Little Ning was puzzled, “Why?”

Yue Wenle was full of confidence, “He tossed down all that trash talk on Weibo and blew up half the Glory circle. For the sake of the solo games the day after tomorrow, he’ll definitely find someone to warm up with.”

There was no doubt that it would be him!

Ning Zhehan: “……”

Yue Wenle looked at him, “What?”

Ning Zhehan was very reluctant, but he could only tell the truth, “Just… Just now, I… saw the captain and Brother Wei soloing.”

Crackle––

The chips in Old Yue’s hand instantly turned bland!

Only Wei Xiaoxiao knew how awesome that night had really been.

He felt extremely grateful for the fact that there were so many professional players in the Glory circle. He named them one by one, and had Lu Feng use the heroes they were famous for to solo with him one after another.

In the end…

Lu Feng looked at him, “Who else?”

Wei Xiao had really named every starter in Glory that he could think of once already.

“There’s, there’s more!”

It was only 12 o’clock. He wanted to continue!

Lu Feng: “Name.”

Wei Xiao almost broke his head apart trying to think and finally popped out with a name, “Bai Cai!”

Lu Feng: “………”

Wei Xiao turned shameless, “Captain, you can’t look down on Brother Cai. Brother Cai is the top support in China, the famous and lofty God Bai!”

Lu Feng shifted his shoulders, “He’s next door. I’ll go call him over for you.”

Wei Xiao: “Hey…”

Lu Feng looked at him, “Solo properly and don’t lose to Bai Cai.”

Wei Xiao: “………………”

Who would want to solo with Bai Cai the Idle?!

Brother Cai, who was improving his relationship with Soybean, “Achoo…”

Soybean: “Ao!”

Brother Cai stroked it, “Nine out of ten chances your dad is talking shit about me.”

Finally, FTW.Quiet ushered in the first live broadcast of his career.

The Strawberry platform sent out wave after wave of publicity, but in fact, there was no need to promote it. Countless fans were already crouching in the live broadcast room, waiting to watch the show.

A newcomer, a newbie who nobody had ever seen and didn’t know what he looked like, actually had such a high level of influence.

This could be recorded in the history of Glory!

Not only in China. Even across the 16 competition zones, there was nobody else who had ever accomplished this!

It was time for the start of the broadcast. Wei Xiao’s expression was steady and extremely calm, but Bai Cai, who was watching from the side, was really nervous.

Goddamn, when it came to heart and guts, there really were different sizes.

Usually, Bai Cai felt that he had enough guts, but when compared with this beast, he felt like his heart was the size of the eye of a needle!

Wei Xiao turned on the mic, “Is there sound?”

The scrolling comments exploded in a flash, “Oh, your voice is so nice.”

“It seems very young.”

“The grandmaster actually turned out to be a little brother!”

“You guys always call him grandmaster this and grandmaster that; I thought he was very old…”

Some female fans began to wonder, “God Q, can you turn the video~” His voice was nice to listen to, and they were curious about how he looked.

Wei Xiao: “I’d better not.”

As a front-line team in the Glory circle, FTW had a lot of anti-fans. At this time, they all rushed forth to light their cannons, “It seems he’s ugly.”

“An ugly daughter-in-law still has to meet her mother-in-law. Turn on the camera, you’ll have to show up on the court sooner or later.”

What kind of big move had Wei Xiao not seen before? When he flamed people, the anti-fans could only shiver and tremble in fear.

Of course, he was now a professional player and had to pay attention to being civilized and literate.

Wei Xiao: “Mostly, I’m afraid that if I turn on the video, you guys won’t watch me solo anymore.”

The scrolling comments were abruptly full of ellipsis.

Wei Xiao continued lazily, “Think about it, so many players want to clear up their shame, yet in the end, you’re all staring at my face. That wouldn’t be good, right?”

He answered his own question, “No, that definitely wouldn’t be good.”

It didn’t matter if they were hardcore fans, anti-fans, or passers-by. All of them: “………………”

Had FTW bought back a top-laner or a trash talk king?

Wei Xiao had only just logged into the game when he received a lot of friend requests.

If one wanted to solo it was more convenient to add the other person as a friend first.

The fans who’d originally thought that no professional players would be affected by his challenge were all left with their mouths open in shock…

RR.Moonlit requested to add you as a friend.

TPT.Eurostar requested to add you as a friend.

3U.Asleep requested to add you as a friend.　

…………

…………

They were all f*cking here!

Were the managers of all the major clubs crazy? Couldn’t they control their own players?

Don’t say it…

They really couldn’t control them.

Last night.

At the RR base, Manager Chen was begging bitterly, “Yueyue, can you not go to the live broadcast studio tomorrow?”

Moonlit sneered, “The challenge gauntlet has all but hit me in the face. You want me not to go?”

Manager Chen had seen the ‘replay video’ before, “A mid-lane position isn’t good at solo, and you also don’t focus on it much. What if you lose?”

Mage king Yue was incredibly fierce, “Am I afraid of losing?”

Manager Chen: “………”

You might not be afraid, but I am!

Moonlit was very harsh to himself, “If I lose, I’ll add two hours of training for myself every day.”

Manager Chen: “Emmm....”

Moonlit poked straight at his heart, “And add ten hours of live broadcast time every month.”

Manager Chen: “Deal!”

TPT base.

Coach Old Wang: “You don’t want to play marksman anymore?”

Eurostar had been a very good top-laner back then, but because he’d been hammered into seclusion by the grandmaster, he’d switched to the bottom lane. Now…

Eurostar looked calm, like an old meditative monk. “It’s precisely because I’ve switched to marksman that I have to face him.”

Old Wang: “I heard that his thief is the strongest. The thief has a natural advantage over archers. Aren’t you just rushing over to offer your head up on a silver platter?”

Eurostar sighed, “If I don’t send it over now, could it be that I should wait until we’re on the court? I have to adapt to the fact that FTW is about to have two demon kings.”

Old Wang: “……”

This was too sad and pitiful, he couldn’t bear to dissuade him!

3U base.

Asleep: “Zzzz…”

Manager Zhou looked at his team captain who was sleeping so soundly that not even his eyelashes were quivering, “About that…”

3U’s vice-captain: “The captain said he’s going. He must go.”　

There were two unsolved mysteries in the 3U team: #1, why could their captain sleep so much, yet still be so strong; #2, how their vice-captain could translate the words from their dreaming captain so accurately.

Not only did the outside world not understand, even the 3U team’s internal members didn’t get it!

A large number of star players all ‘reported in’, and the popularity of the live broadcast was reaching official playoff levels!

The passers-by were taken by surprise when they saw it and even wondered, “What… is it time for the Glory playoffs?”

It hadn’t started, but this was no less exciting than a regular competition!

Wei Xiao accepted the friend requests one after another. After accepting over a dozen of them, the last one blinded the entire audience of the live broadcast room.

L&P.Marshal requested to add you as a friend.

In a flash, the scrolling comments went so crazy that the Strawberry platform could barely bear the load.

“Holy shit! It’s the North American competition zone’s L&P’s Yuan Ze!”

“The global champion of ‘19, global runner up of ‘20. How could this person who has his name in the Temple of Glory appear here!”

“It’s fake, right? It must be fake!”

“How could it be? Glory has certified the IDs of all registered professional players. Ordinary players can’t use that name even if they wanted to!”

“It really is God Yuan!”

“What ‘God Yuan’? He’s a national traitor!”

As a Chinese citizen who had led a foreign team to blow up his own competition zone, Yuan Ze had enough anti-fans circle the Earth three times over.

A man with such a bloody history actually appeared here! The live broadcast studio was really going to explode.

Juurensha: Hahaha, the Asleep team captain seems fun. And poor Yue, always alone with his chips.

xiin: WX’s trash talk, full marks!
