After walking the dog back, the Yue Wenle whod chomped down two bags of chips stared at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao gave a cautious greeting, God Le.
Yue Wenle: I waited for you all night last night.
Wei Xiao laughed dryly, Waited, for me? For what?
Yue Wenle bit down on the chips and made a crunchy sound, Waited so you and I could solo!
Hed waited from 1AM to 6AM. There was nobody who could understand the journey Yue Wenles heart had undertaken during that time!
Wei Xiao: ???
Wei Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, Oh, solo. You shouldve said that earlier. I thought You wanted to climb into my bed!
Bai Cai rolled his eyes.
Wei Xiao cleared his throat and hooked an arm around Yue Wenles shoulder like a pair of good brothers, You shouldve said it earlier; well be on the same team in the future. You can come look for me whenever you want to solo. I can solo with you until you faint.
Yue Wenle: He could pass on the fainting.
As soon as Wei Xiao thought about how Yue Wenle had been trained by Close for a year, his hands became incredibly itchy, Why dont we go have a game now?
Yue Wenle was instantly injected with chicken blood, Lets go
A cold voice sounded out from behind them, Hes not free.
Yue Wenles back felt cold, and he turned around to see his own captain standing there.
Wei Xiao was regretful, God Le, go do what you need to do.
Lu Feng came over and stared at Wei Xiao, Youre not free.
Wei Xiao blinked, What, what is there for me to do? How come he didnt even know?
Lu Feng looked down at Soybean, Do you want to look at your new living quarters?
Soybean was incredibly fascinated with Close. It was a very big dog, yet it very much wanted to be hugged, Arooo!
What he said didnt matter, it was enough for him to be attractive!
Wei Xiao recovered his wits, Oh, right, I still have to move!
Lu Feng: What else is important in your apartment?
Wei Xiao thought about it, Computer, keyboard, mouse?
Lu Feng: Theyve all been prepared for you.
Wei Xiao was very excited, but he held back and continued to think, In that case, I should still go get some clothing? He gestured at what he was currently wearing, I cant wear yours every day.
Yue Wenle thought about the words hed overheard that morning and stumbled, Since youre busy, Ill go and rank first.
Wei Xiao let him go, Okay, we have a lot of time ahead of us.
Yue Wenle:
He kept experiencing the cold feeling of being stared at by the other sides jungler king. Illusion, it must be an illusion!
Wei Xiaos dormitory was next to Bai Cais.
Bai Cai also followed them up, thinking that if anything was missing, he could get it from his own place and bring it over for Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao pushed the door open and Soybean rushed in first.
Its got everything! Wei Xiao was surprised.
Bai Cai: Hed been thinking too much. How could the Captain allow this dormitory to be missing anything?
It was labelled a dormitory, but in fact, it was a simple small apartment.
The dormitories of the FTW team members were all like this. There was a bedroom, a small living room, and a private washroom. The decorations were thoughtful and comfortable.
Wei Xiaos dormitory was a little different from Bai Cais and the rest.
His small flat had an additional dog living area. Not only was there a dog kennel, various toys and even dog food had already been prepared.
Wei Xiao looked around and tsked, Captain, youve been planning this for a long time!
This wasnt something that could be prepared in one night. Close must have had someone prepare the room in advance, waiting for him to come.
Lu Feng was noncommittal, Mm.
Wei Xiao was amused, You prepared so thoroughly. What would you do if I didnt come?
Lu Feng glanced at him, Arent you here?
Wei Xiao laughed even more cheerfully, Sigh, Im really not very promising. You really caught me.
Bai Cai:
Youre really damned self-aware. Also, could he leave now? He felt very redundant!
There was a smile in Lu Fengs eyes, Go and see if anythings missing.
Wei Xiao entered the room and looked around. He was more and more satisfied, Nothings missing. My rent over there is just about to be due again. Its really like
He was about to say, everything is going smoothly, and they only needed to wait for the start of the competition, but he suddenly remembered another thing
His boss!
His accompanying player business still had a boss he had to provide services for.
The key characteristic of professional e-sports was that they were always busy.
There was no stopping even during the off-season, and once the matches started, they could only wish that there were 48 hours a day, and all 48 of those hours could be spent training.
How would Wei Xiao find time to play games with his boss?!
Wei Xiao wasnt greedy for that two million yuan. He could return the money and terminate the contract. It would be nothing more than a loss of 200,000 yuan to the accompanying player platform.
Although it would hurt, there was no other way. Life required one to make choices.
However the rather problematic thing was that the platform settled accounts on a monthly basis. The two million yuan the boss had paid him was still being held by the platform, and Wei Xiao hadnt taken it out.
If he wanted to terminate the contract, he would have to return the two million directly to the boss, and he didnt have enough cash on hand.
The three million in his savings that hed boasted to Bai Cai about before had included the two million from the platform.
Wei Xiao asked Lu Feng, Theres one thing. Can I withdraw my salary in advance?
He was a free player, and this signing fee was equivalent to an annual salary. Logically speaking, it would be paid monthly and not given to him all at once.
Lu Feng: Yes. How much do you need?
Two million Wei Xiao thought of his own savings, and hurriedly added, One million is fine too!
This amount wasnt a small sum. Lu Feng asked, Whats the problem?
Bai Cai whod been listening from the side suddenly understood. Damn it, hadnt the captain revealed his other identity yet?
He wanted to leave, he really wanted to slip away!
Wei Xiao paused for a moment and thought of his original lies. He was full of regret.
Why did he have to pretend to be cool, why had he faked having a life, why had he wanted to maintain his dignity? Now
One lie had to be rounded out with 10 more!
Fortunately, his brain was nimble enough.
Just didnt I say before, that I have a girlfriend.
Lu Feng was a little stunned. Wei Xiao did indeed have a girlfriend. He had two of them, and they were both him.
Wei Xiao sighed, Im now going to play professionally. There are no relationships in e-sports, and I dont want to drag her down, so I intend to break up with her.
Lu Feng understood.
Bai Cai also understood.
Wei Xiao continued, I cant break up just like that, so I thought that for better or worse, I could compensate her with money.
Lu Feng:
Bai Cai: He was going to die when Wei Xiao learned the truth.
Wei Xiao cleared his throat, Two million should be fine, right? In fact, we havent been together for long
He was even able to pull all this together. Wei Xiao was impressed. He was very much impressed by his own skill!
Lu Feng paused, then said, Theres no need to break up.
If Bai Cai hadnt been holding onto the door, he wouldve fallen over!
Wei Xiao was stunned, Ah?
Lu Feng: FTW advocates free love, as long as it doesnt affect training.
Wei Xiao was a little flustered, Nonono, Im dedicated to the championship. Theres no room left for love.
Lu Feng: Its fine. Ill have finance transfer you two million. Theres no need for a break up fee, but it can be considered an appeasement fee. Of course, as to the specifics, you can arrange it yourself.
Wei Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this.
Great, great. It was good that he could obtain the salary advance. He had to hurry up and wrap up this matter, and never use a girlfriend to act cool again. It was too hard!
Lu Feng continued, Then, take a look at whats missing, and Ill make arrangements.
Wei Xiao: Okay!
He would go and contact the boss when the money came in.
At this time, this moment, Bai Cai really didnt dare to face Wei Xiao and also slipped out.
Bai Cai: Captain
Lu Feng: There hasnt been time to explain.
Hed originally used the ID LU to get Wei Xiao as an accompanying player so that he could get closer to Wei Xiao and understand why hed left the professional arena.
Now that hed come back, there was no need to hide.
It was just that he hadnt had a chance to say it before Wei Xiao came up with this new move.
Bai Cais brain hurt, Dont say it for now. Im begging you not to explain it!
Bai Cai gave him an analysis, If you tell him, hell stab me to death with a knife. Thats a small problem. The big problem is that hell pester you to solo for 10 days and 10 nights!
Lu Feng: This was a possibility.
Lu Feng also started to have a headache, Take it slowly.
It was indeed very inconvenient to explain. If it was all explained clearly, he was afraid that Wei Xiao would be embarrassed enough to run away again.
It hadnt been easy to coax him back. Hed first let things settle.
That night, FTWs official blog issued an announcementFTW welcomed Quiet to the team.
As soon as this Weibo post went out, the Glory circle exploded in minutes.
There were hundreds of comments per second in the discussion area, and they were all asking who Quiet was.
Soon, someone shared some general knowledge, The grandmaster, it must be the grandmaster!
After that, the Close who hadnt gone onto Weibo for a long time forwarded this message. The accompanying text was simple, one wordWelcome.
This was enough, it was enough for the fans to all spiral up to the heavens!
Wei Xiaos Weibo account had already been set up. He forwarded Closes message, and his content was also very simple, Hello everyone, Im FTW.Quiet.
In the comments, Bai Cai, Yue Wenle, and Ning Zhehan all left messages one after another.
A large number of FTW fans, anti-fans, and the Glory circles professional haters all rushed over at the speed of light. Quiets Weibo fan count rose up like a rocket, and the number of comments and forwards was enough to send him up to the hot search list at any minute.
What made the Glory circle explode on the spot was
In the China competition zone, numerous professional players had also come to leave messages.
The messages they left were neat and orderly.
RR.Moonlit: ^_^
TPT.Eurostar: ^_^
3U:Asleep: ^_^
Beneath this batch of heaven shaking IDs were the fans explosion.
My god, I seem to have seen a knife hidden in the smile!
How is it a hidden knife? Its clearly an explosive!
This powerful resentment The grandmaster has no way to run. This Quiet is the One Lamp Grandmaster that abused his way through our China Glory circle!
The real trash talk came at the end.
Wei Xiao posted another Weibo message, My live broadcast studio ID: 7758521, premiering the day after tomorrow. Not playing ranked games, itll be solo the whole way. Everyone is welcome to come take their revenge.
Nobody who comes will be refused. After that, he even @ all the professional players whod left messages on his previous post.
Juurensha: Just digging holes all the way down..
