No way!

Wei Xiao quickly shook his head until the idea was rattled out of his mind.

How could an outsider play in the training match that FTW had spent so much effort on obtaining?

This was a great opportunity to hone a team. Even if they were completely defeated, it would still bring them great benefits!

Pressure was a double-edged sword. If it was used well, Ning Zhehan and the new top-lane would grow very quickly.

Yue Wenle was a good example of that.

One year ago, he’d been smeared all over the ground by Wei Xiao. Now, the ice hunter in his hands had become a nightmare for many professional players.

Ning Zhehan’s growth was bound to accelerate after these three training matches. Within a month, Wei Xiao wouldn’t be able to win every solo game against him.

There was also the mysterious top-lane player, the lucky guy who’d been hiding in some unknown corner. After this series of matches, he would definitely gain great insights and understanding, and from then on, he would rise to the top like a cloud.

As Wei Xiao thought about it more and more, he felt that the bread he held in his hands wasn’t tasty anymore.

“What kind of stupid thing is this, it must be expired!” How come it tasted sour and ashy?

Soybean really wanted to eat it, jumping and bouncing around.

Wei Xiao patted its head, “Go eat your dog food!”

Soybean: “Aroo.”

Wei Xiao ignored him and tossed the bread into the garbage can before opening up the empty refrigerator, “Shit, laozi doesn’t even have dog food to eat!”

Wei Xiao was still a little hungry. He ordered some small crayfish and sat cross legged on the sofa to wait for it.

His cell phone beeped.

Bai Cai: “???”

Wei Xiao acted as though he didn’t see it.

Bai Cai sent over a screenshot and followed up with, “Do you f*cking consider me as your brother? It’s about to be announced officially, yet you’re still hiding it from me? Do you have to wait until the kids can make soy sauce before you tell me that we’re going to sleep together?!”

The content of the screenshot was completely within Wei Xiao’s expectations.

Grandmaster: “How about one round of solo?”

Close: “Sure.”

Grandmaster (jumping eagerly): “Let’s go!”

Close (smiling): “When you come to the base.”

Someone had captioned his conversation with Lu Feng, paying great attention to detail. They’d even included the emotion in brackets!

The comments below were so heated they soared up to the sky, “Evidence! A real hammer! Waiting for the official announcement!”

“With this great general, our FTW will be stable!”

“This year’s China competition zone is going to be very powerful. Polaris is on the rise!”

“Worth watching, worth watching. I’m starting to look forward to the national finals!”

Bai Cai continued to question him, “Didn’t you say you would rather be beaten to death than play professionally? Didn’t you say that you would never come to FTW? Didn’t you say you’d rather starve to death than become my teammate?!”

Wei Xiao clutched at his hair, “You’ve misunderstood.”

Bai Cai: “The recording is right there. Do you want me to show up beneath your building and play it publicly?”

Wei Xiao sighed, “I’m going to FTW, but I’m just going there to watch your training matches.”

Bai Cai: “What?”

Wei Xiao told him the whole story.

Bai Cai was muddled, “So you mean to say… you’re just coming to FTW for a visit?”

Wei Xiao: “Yes.”

Bai Cai: “You guys…”

They’d kicked up such a big fuss that the entire network had exploded. Now, he was saying that he wasn’t joining?

Wait a minute, Bai Cai seemed to suddenly understand something.

Wei Xiao’s heart was preoccupied, and he seemed very casual as he asked Bai Cai, “Before, you said that Close was interested in a top-lane player?”

Bai Cai was silent for a moment, “Yes.”

Wei Xiao sounded even more casual, “Who is it?”

It’s you!

Bai Cai was worthy of being the person who knew the most about the Glory professional circle. His brain processed very quickly, and he soon seemed to touch on the edges of an idea.

Bai Cai: “Secret.”

Wei Xiao tsked, “Won’t I know who it is when I watch the training match?”

Bai Cai: “That’s got nothing to do with me. In any case, I won’t be the one to say it.”

Wei Xiao was really anxious, “Petty vegetable.”

Bai Cai stimulated him deliberately, “”So what if you find out? They won’t look for you for training. They already have a ready-made Close to turn to. Will they need to look for you for solo games?”

Wei Xiao: “……”

Bai Cai: “In the future, Little Ning won’t look for you for solo games either. Close has been paying more attention to him recently.”

Wei Xiao: “…………”

Bai Cai: “Waterfront towers are first to catch the moon. Look at you, didn’t you also spend such a long time soloing with God Lu? Don’t judge him based on how our team captain is so cold and indifferent to outsiders, he’s very good towards his own people.” Damn, saying such words that went against his convictions really made him feel a little hollow.

Wei Xiao couldn’t bear to listen further, “If you have something to say, then say it. If there’s nothing, I’m going to hang up!”

Bai Cai: “There’s nothing else, bye bye to you, see you tomorrow.”

Wei Xiao hung up the phone and was even more angry.

Two years ago, if he’d…

F*ck! If he was in FTW, how would he allow Close to have enough energy to look for other people?!

FTW base.

The team didn’t have training in the afternoon, but Lu Feng hadn’t stopped after one match solely because Wei Xiao needed to eat. He did have something else to do.

On the fourth floor, in the coaching team meeting room.

Chen Feng, as the coach, was currently staring at the screen.

After his retirement, Tang Chen had also stayed on in the team as an assistant coach. Normally, he spent time with the second team.

When Lu Feng pushed the door open, Chen Feng had just finished watching the replay.

Tang Chen: “There’s no problem with Wei Xiao taking the top lane. Hand him over to me after he joins the team. I’ll give him special training.”

Anyone who saw such a good seedling would itch to give them training.

Chen Feng didn’t say anything. He dragged the progress bar across and stopped it when the perspective focused on the thief.

Lu Feng’s gaze slid across, and he said, “He has very clear ideas when he plays in the jungle.”

Chen Feng: “He’s too wild.”

Lu Feng: “That’s not a bad thing.”

Chen Feng exhaled lightly, “That’s true. Wei Xiao’s wild fighting style is very difficult for the opposite team to resist, but it’s also riskier.”

Lu Feng: “Benefits and risk coexist.”

God Tang, who’d come to the party late, somehow still managed to keep up with what these two wanted to say, “F*ck, you want to have this kid play jungler?”

Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him.

Tang Chen was stunned, his mouth dropping open, “No way… What about old Lu? He’ll go top-lane? You guys are joking, right?! Lu Feng has been fighting in the jungle for four years, ever since he started his career. You want him to switch positions?”

Chen Feng didn’t sound happy, “I didn’t tell him to switch positions!”

Lu Feng’s gaze was locked on that bloodthirsty shadow thief, “Wei Xiao’s very suitable for the jungler position.”

Tang Chen’s expression was full of disbelief, “In the entire Chinese competition zone, there’s nobody more suitable for it than you!”

Lu Feng had begun playing professionally at the age of 17. From the day he entered FTW, his primary position had always been jungler.

2017 was the highlight year for FTW. Not only had the club found the young genius Close, they’d also gathered the strongest top-laner from back then, the strongest mid-laner, the ADC who’d won two championships from Korea, as well as the support who’d entered the Temple of Glory.

That year, FTW made it to the global finals, won the first team championship for the China competition zone, and also won the singles championship and doubles runner-up.

This was their peak year, their most magnificent year, and also their most glorious year.

2017.

Glory had belonged to FTW, to China, and the hundreds of millions of Chinese players!

Debuting at the peak was exactly what happened to Close.

Unfortunately, at the end of 2017, FTW split up. The only players left in the team were Close, who’d only just turned 18, and Chen Feng, who’d retired, as well as Tang Chen, who’d been a substitute back then.

Toppling down from the clouds was an experience that was impossible to imagine for those who hadn’t struggled down that thorny road.

However, even if they’d fallen into the dirt, even if they had to bear heavy pressure, Close had still remained strong and won three individual championships!

No matter how much the anti-fans cursed him.

No matter how much the haters resented him.

There was one thing that couldn’t be denied––

Over these past three years, in the fragmented China competition zone, the only backbone they had was Close!

Chen Feng’s heart was very upset, “The fans will go crazy if you don’t fill the jungler position!”

Tang Chen added, “It’s very difficult for the top-lane to be the core of the team.”

Lu Feng shifted his gaze away to look at them, “Glory is not a game for me alone.”

Tang Chen was stunned.

Chen Feng said, “Yes. It’s a team game. It’s a game where the sum of five players is greater than five, but your personal strength is still there. No one is stronger than you.”

Lu Feng looked at the thief on the screen, and there was a faint flash of light in his deep eyes.

Chen Feng sighed, “Wei Xiao is very strong, but he lacks competition experience, particularly team competition experience. I don’t need to tell you how important this position is. Will he be able to hold it if you give it to him just like this?”

Tang Chen added, “I think that this little lunatic is more suited for top-lane. Look at this ferocity. Let him go to the top lane and go wild. His opponent will have to worry about going bald.”

Chen Feng continued, “That’s right. Wei Xiao’s personal ability is very strong. Looking at the whole of China, there’s nobody who can hold him down.”

Lu Feng shook his head, “I’m more suitable for the top-lane than he is.”

Chen Feng and Tang Chen both paused.

Lu Feng said, “Not only just in China, but also in the 16 competition zones. There’s nobody who can hold me down.”

These words…

There were probably no players in the world who could refute them.

However, the problem was, if you go to the top lane, then what about the jungler position?!

Could this little shrimp Wei Xiaoxiao really hold up this huge flag?!

Lu Feng glanced at the time, “I’m going out for a bit.”

Tang Chen was still in a trance, and Chen Feng was also a mess, “Little Lunatic Wei agreed to return to the team?”

Lu Feng: “No.”

Chen Feng immediately sat up straight, “Ah, you haven’t convinced him yet?”

Lu Feng picked up his coat and pulled it on, “I’m going to his house to take a look.”

Chen Feng blinked, “Is it really that his family doesn’t agree?”

Based on Lu Feng’s attention on Wei Xiao, the signing fee would definitely be eight figures. For them to be unwilling to let him go despite such a big offer, the little lunatic’s family must be really rich.

Lu Feng didn’t say anything.

He’d checked the information from two years ago and had found Wei Xiao’s home address. The first message he’d heard was––

Two years ago, Wei Xiao’s grandmother had died.

At that time, Wei Xiao had absolutely refused to let his father into the house.

Juurensha: Ah, backstory time!

xiin: don’t worry! things will work out~
