After getting in the car, Wei Xiao was still not at ease, You really dont have to bring the dog, Soybean can take care of himself.
Lu Feng: You dont take it out often?
Wei Xiao was addicted to gaming. He basically wished he could spend 48 hours a day playing ranked games; how could he have time to walk his dog outside?
Lu Feng: Huskies are full of energy. If you dont want him to wreck the house, you should take him out to run five kilometers a day.
Wei Xiao: ???
Lu Feng: Or eight kilometers.
Wei Xiao was silent for three seconds, No need, no need. With that amount of effort, I might as well stew it and eat dog meat hotpot.
Five kilometers, eight kilometers?
In the heart of a shut-in, even 100 meters was like the distance between heaven and earth!
Lu Feng looked at him through the rearview mirror, I can do it.
Wei Xiao: Ah?
Lu Feng spoke casually, Theres no difference between running by myself or with a dog.
Wei Xiao: !
What are you talking about? How can I ask you to run with my dog?
Yet at this time, the husky even let out a fascinated Ao.
Wei Xiao laughed dryly, Cough, the FTW base is so big. You can consider raising a dog or something.
Lu Feng: Mm.
Wei Xiao was worried that his next sentence would be How about you leave Soybean there?.
Although he scolded this doggy son all day long, there was true love between him and Soybean. He would cry if he didnt have him and cry very loudly at that!
Oh, right. Wei Xiao quickly changed the topic, Has the list of names for the training match been settled?
He seemed to be asking casually, but it was something that Wei Xiao had on his mind, was curious about, and really wanted to know.
Lu Feng: Its settled.
Wei Xiaos heart clenched, I heard Old Bai say that you have your eye on a top-lane player?
Lu Feng held the steering wheel in a one-handed grip. He didnt even blink, Yes.
Wei Xiao stroked the dogs fur, Who is it? Is it from FTWs second team? Or is it someone who just got listed?
The off season was also the transfer period. Glory had had mature team management processes for many years now. After the global finals, the players in the sixteen competition zones could consider whether or not they wanted to list themselves based on their existing contracts.
As long as they were listed, other clubs could bid, and they would join the highest bidder. It was considered a fair process.
Wei Xiao thought through all the top-lane players who were on the listing, but he couldnt think of who it could be.
A lot of data emperor and analysis emperor insiders had said that this year was the year for the rise of the China competition zone, and it wasnt an unreasonable statement to make.
After one year of training, the batch of players that included Moonlit and Eurostar had found their footing. There were also some amazing talents like Asleep. Even Little Ning, whod been signed by FTW at a high price, was a talented player who could only be found by chance.
It was precisely because several seed teams had gradually already taken shape that this listing period was relatively lackluster.
If the teams worked well together, then players wouldnt be willing to leave their team. Regarding money, it was more of a number; everyone paid more attention to the results.
Winning the championship was like a big stone of pressure pressing down in the hearts of countless Chinese contestants.
Not only for FTW. The China competition zone had 16 active teams, and there wasnt a single one who didnt want redemption or want to regain glory for their country!
With this in mind, Wei Xiao really didnt feel that any of the listed players were appropriate. In that case
Who exactly was Lu Feng interested in?
Lu Feng spoke calmly, Neither.
Wei Xiao was startled, A newcomer?!
Lu Feng didnt say anything.
Wei Xiao was shocked, Will that be okay? One Ning Zhehan is already quite risky, will you guys be able to hold up with another one? Besides, other than Little Ning, there werent any outstanding players in this years youth training camp
FTW was going to overturn like this!
Chinas competition zone was surrounded by tigers and wolves this year. Polaris was on the rise, but FTW was planning to introduce two newcomers with no competition experience at this time
It was going to be a big deal!
So what if there was Lu Feng there to cover for them?
5v5 matches placed great importance on the entire team. In the professional arena, the five people must be twisted together into a metal barrel. If any gaps could be found, they would be pried open further and exploited by their opponents until they were defeated.
Although FTW always did a round tour for the international championships, for better or worse, they were still the domestic competition champions.
If they couldnt even take the domestic championship this time
As a die-hard loyal FTW fan, Wei Xiaos dedicated professional heart exploded.
Thats too risky! Wei Xiaos voice had risen up slightly.
Lu Feng focused on driving. Hes excellent.
When he heard these words, not only did Wei Xiaos heart explode, it also collapsed, How excellent are they?
F*ck, exactly which newcomer was this that could actually get such a high evaluation from Close?!
Lu Feng paused for a moment, then spoke steadily, They have a strong personal ability
Wei Xiao interrupted him, Could they be better than He originally wanted to say, could they be better than me, but when he thought about it, those words didnt seem right, and he hurriedly stopped himself. He switched to, Could they be better than you?
Lu Feng laughed briefly, Hard to say.
Wei Xiao:
Lu Feng: Hes young and inexperienced, but his future is promising.
Wei Xiao:
The husky felt a sting of pain from having its fur pulled, Arooo~
Wei Xiao hurriedly let go and stroked its fur, but the fur in his heart had already exploded in all directions!
The new season is about to start. Is there enough time for him to build up experience?
Lu Feng: The competition arena is the best coach.
The implication beneath the words was that playing matches would increase his experience and the entire team would accompany him to grow.
Wei Xiaos heart, it was so sour. It even created little vinegar bubbles in his words, You really value him.
Ahhhhh, who the hell was it?! He wanted to hammer him, wanted to smash his entire hero pool!
He wouldnt need to gain experience from playing in competitions. Wei Xiao would first show him how cruel reality was!
Mm. Lu Feng looked at him in the rearview mirror. Hes worth it.
Wei Xiao was stunned, and the sourness in his heart stabbed him again.
Worth it.
He was worth it.
And he wasnt worth it.
Wei Xiao hugged the husky. His voice was a little hoarse, Stop moving around!
The well-behaved Soybean who was sitting properly, Ao?
It hadnt been moving around, it was just that its father was holding it really tightly!
Wei Xiao knew that he deserved it, but he still felt upset in his heart.
What did he have to be jealous of.
Back then, hed been the one who didnt take the opportunity. Back then, Close had also valued him this much, but hadnt he just run off without saying a word?
Regardless of his personal ability, at least this new top-lane was someone who Close felt was worth it.
At least it was someone who wouldnt run off on the spot.
FTW base.
Tang Chen looked at the huge neck protector in front of him, and the corners of his lips twitched.
Chen Feng: Put it on, quickly!
Tang Chen pulled it over his head resignedly and said, I dont look like I have a bad neck now, I look like a paraplegic!
Chen Feng: Werent you the one who took the initiative to add drama.
Tang Chen put on the neck guard, and his neck couldnt move at all. Its rare for Old Lu to be concerned. How could I refuse to help?
Chen Feng frowned, Im not very sure about this. Can someone who is pulled in with any means at our disposal actually be on the same page as us in the end?
Tang Chen: You dont need to worry about that. I feel that that kid loves the game to his bones more than anyone else. As long as he returns to the team, hell definitely be a valiant general for the team.
Chen Feng paused for a moment and glanced towards this wooden block, Dont you think that Close is too interested in Wei Xiao?
Tang Chen struggled to adapt to the neck guard, Dont you know Old Lu? He looks cold and indifferent, but in fact, his heart is softer than anyone else. Back then
Chen Feng shifted his gaze and said angrily, But he f*cking cant tell good from bad and ends up with white-eyed wolves!
Tang Chen was more open minded, Well, its already been so many years. Havent we been doing well?
Chen Fengs liver hurt when he thought about it, To hell with doing well. Its been three years. Have we gotten a championship? Have we gotten even one?!
Tang Chen: Cough.
Chen Feng got angrier the more he thought about it, Theyre all dogs, each and every one of them. If they have the ability, then go and compete in the individual competition as well. Itll be strange if Close doesnt smash their dog heads open!
These grudges were too complicated
Tang Chen didnt dare to answer and pretended that hed been strangled by the neck guard.
Bai Cai yawned as he came downstairs. He was confused for a moment when he saw Tang Chen, God Tang?
Yue Wenle was also confused, Youre
Ning Zhehan was still rather young and said whatever was on his mind, Brother Tang, were you in a car accident?!
Tang Chen clunked granny grey on the head, Stinky boy!
Ning Zhehan squeaked, but he was still worried about him, Be careful, your neck
Tang Chen cleared his throat and tried out his poor acting skills, Its fine. My cervical spondylosis is acting up; its an occupational disease and a standard thing for e-sports players.
Especially a retired one like me, if there wasnt something or the other, Id be embarrassed to say that I played professionally.
It wasnt a secret in the team that Tang Chen had a bad neck.
In particular, during the competition in 2020, Tang Chen had gotten sick several times, suffering from major headaches. He forced himself to play and performed badly, ending up tragically bashed by the haters.
Ning Zhehan opened his mouth and mentioned the big elephant in the room, Brother Tang, havent you been much better recently? How did it suddenly become so serious?
Tang Chen had been recovering for half a month, and it was indeed much better. Now
Wasnt there a script to follow!
Sigh. Tang Chen told himself that he had to first deceive himself in order to trick others and said realistically, This disease cant be cured, itll just act up every now and then.
Chen Feng went downstairs and glanced at him, Will you be able to participate in the training match later?
Hed said that he wouldnt follow the script, but his body was very honest about cooperating.
Little Ning was actually very afraid of Coach Chen Feng.Th. most uptod/at nvels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m
In the China Glory circles, if Close was the great demon king, then Coach Chen Feng was her majesty, the queen.
Newcomers admired the great demon king and feared Coach Chen Feng.
There was one reason for it.
The great demon king was untouchable and unreachable, but Coach Chen Feng had a sharp tongue. Occasionally, when they reviewed the replays, he could speak gently with a warm voice and still be able to make professional players cry.
Ning Zhehan had experienced it before and was very scared of it.
Bai Cai had thick skin and dense flesh and had become immune to it long ago. He looked left and right and savored it a little, Indeed. With God Tangs neck like this, will he still be able to play in the training match?
Tang Chen said helplessly, Theres no other way. The team is short a top-laner, and the training match is a rare opportunity. We cant just postpone it.
Yue Wenle was unaware of the situation, What, the new top-lane candidate hasnt been determined yet?
Chen Feng looked outside, Almost.
Yue Wenle, Then, is he not joining the training match?
Tang Chen thought to himself: Whether he joins or not will depend on my performance!
Who couldve thought that the retired God Tang would switch careers and become an actor?
Ning Zhehan was very curious and whispered quietly, About that, I heard that the captain wants to sign One Lamp Grandmaster?
Yue Wenle, whod immersed himself in training and hadnt inquired about worldly matters, What?!
Ning Zhehan vaguely knew about the grudge between God Le and the Grandmaster and didnt dare say more.
Bai Cai said, Didnt you look at Weibo? Were just short of an official announcement.
Yu Wenle: F*ck! That beast is coming to FTW? Damn, laozi
Bai Cai thought about it: Lao Wei, it was the right decision for you not to play professionally. Not only is there a forest full of foreign enemies, even your own nest is full of unresolved debts!
This was Wei Xiaos first time at the FTW base, but hed seen the promotional film a long time ago. This base was just like a castle
F*ck! Its so big!
Sorry, he mightve seen the promotional film, but the real visual impact still hit hard.
The car drove all the way in, and they only got out of the car when they arrived in front of the castle.
Wei Xiao leashed the husky and noticed Tang Chen with a large neck guard around his neck with a glance.
God Tang You Were you in a car accident?
Tang Chen went all out, Ah, I fell off my bike yesterday and damaged my neck.
Chen Feng: Damned fool, can this be enough to trick Little Lunatic Wei?
Tang Chen pushed on, The worst part is, I still have to play training matches when Im injured like this.
Wei Xiao was confused, Youre playing in the training match?
Chen Feng: It, it worked?
Tang Chen was extremely aggrieved, How can I not? Its a training match that wasnt easy to obtain. I cant let everyone down.
WeI Xiao was incredulous, What about your new top-laner?!
Tang Chen looked at him quietly.
Wei Xiao interpreted his gaze as full of grievance.
F*ck!
What kind of big name was this? They didnt even come for a training match?
Was this person that Close had taken a liking to an ancestor or a top-laner?!
Juurensha: WX youre eating so much vinegar about yourself hahahaha. And I love Tang Chen happy in his overacting.
xiin: Tang Chen, youve worked hard for the sake of the team i love how theyre all kinda in on the scheme, its so fun~
