At night, the downtown of City S is brightly lit, and someone has booked the advertising space at the bottom of the high-rise buildings along the river and the floating island to celebrate the birth of the champion, runner-up and third place in the wilderness S4 season playoffs. These three teams will represent China to this year's World Championships in Monza, Italy.
In a three-story villa in the Binjiang villa area, the overall atmosphere was gloomy. The manager of the AW team passed the living room with a termination contract in his hand, and went straight upstairs.
Cheng Feng watched Fang Xiaojie's back going upstairs, and was silent for a long time.
"Captain." AW's field controller Xiaokong moved from the sofa to Cheng Feng's side, and whispered: "Isn't the team being so kind?"
Because the original team's treatment hand relapsed and retired, they had to replace the treatment before the playoffs. The second team's healers are not good enough, and the new healer is the only healer class in the top ten of the national service ladder. Because Cheng Feng and the other party were old acquaintances, Cheng Feng represented the team and invited the other party to join the team.
Because the running-in period was too short or there was no running-in period at all, AW played the game in a hurry, and AW's playoff record was not good, and they didn't even advance to the semi-finals. This is not a problem of treating one person, but in the whole team, compared with the tacit understanding of other players' long-term training, the performance of the treatment seems out of place.
In fact, being able to play two rounds in the loser's bracket in the playoffs has exceeded the team's expectations, but the audience will not buy it. What they see is the disconnect between the healer and the rest of the team in the team battle. They don't care about the healer's style of play, as long as they lose After the game, the irritable old buddies have reason to attack the team and players. Let alone a rookie who has never played a professional game. AW's team Heihe and Mad Dog stepped on the team and players vigorously, while AW fans defended their own team and their favorite players and transferred their energy to the newcomers.
As a result, the final result became that the new treatment was blamed.
Cheng Feng patted his own Xiao Kong on the shoulder: "I'll go up and apologize to him in a while."
"Why do you need the captain to apologize?" Zhao Chenhui, the deputy C on the opposite sofa, raised the coffee table dissatisfied: "Obviously it was the club's decision. And we really didn't cooperate well. Changing the treatment is a sure thing."
Cheng Feng lowered his face and said: "You also said that it's a matter of cooperation. Luobei's personal strength is not bad. Now it's being blamed for us. He doesn't even have a chance to prove his strength again."
Seeing that the captain was angry, Zhao Chenhui shrank his head and leaned back, muttering, "Anyway, he doesn't think much about playing professionally."
Cheng Feng frowned, Xiao Kong saw this, and quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, no matter what, we have been teammates for a while, how about organizing a farewell party tonight?"
Cheng Feng thought about it and nodded. Zhao Chenhui didn't speak, nor objected. The other team members have no complaints. The new healer doesn't communicate much except training with them, but he is not difficult to get along with. He is quite a quiet person. Now that he is leaving the team, no one can accept sending someone else.
But this farewell banquet did not get together after all.
Fang Xiaojie went upstairs and knocked on Hu Luobei's door, who had already packed all the suitcases. After opening the door, without Fang Xiaojie saying anything, Hu Luobei took the initiative to accept the termination contract and signed his name.
Such a straightforward attitude made Fang Xiaojie slightly stunned. He adjusted his glasses and said, "Your personal strength is not bad, but it's not suitable for our team. I hope you will have better development in the future."
Hu Luobei knew that the other party was just talking about the scene, but he didn't care about it. It was because of Cheng Feng's request that he came to play two games temporarily, but the future was not in his consideration.
Fang Xiaojie put away the termination contract, glanced at the box next to Hu Luobei's feet, and said, "Don't rush to leave, you haven't been to S City before, have you? You have been training for a while ago, so you can take advantage of this time to let Cheng Feng Take you around for a walk."
Hu Luobei shook his head: "No, a friend is coming to pick me up. I'll be leaving in a while."
A look of surprise flashed across Fang Xiaojie's face. This was the first time the other party mentioned other friends. Cheng Feng also revealed before that Hu Luobei was relatively withdrawn and did not have many friends. When they were in school, Hu Luobei was always alone. I also greeted everyone in advance, and I hope everyone will forgive Hu Luobei's quiet personality.
But since Hu Luobei said so, Fang Xiaojie didn't want to keep him anymore, and after saying goodbye to the other party, he sent him to the gate of the team's base.
Cheng Feng chased him out: "Luobei."
Hu Luobei looked back and saw that Cheng Feng was running so fast that he was sweating in the summer night, but he was still handsome. He has the gentle appearance of the big brother next door, and he is very gentle when he smiles, which makes him have a lot of fans in the China Wilderness Professional League.
Cheng Feng asked: "Leaving so soon?"
Hu Luobei looked at him and said "hmm". He was originally helping to play the game, but now that the game is over, he naturally has to leave. And someone called him more than a dozen times, emphasizing that he would come to pick him up tonight.
Cheng Feng glanced at the small suitcase in Hu Luobei's hand: "I wanted to take you to S city for two more days."
Hu Luobei said: "There will be a chance next time."
Cheng Feng took two steps forward, and stood side by side with Hu Luobei at the gate: "When is your friend coming? I'll wait with you for a while."
On the side of the road less than three meters away from the gate of the AW base, a Volkswagen suspension car was started. The man driving the car had a handsome and aggressive face. His eyes were squinting, and the corners of his mouth were drawn at an unpleasant angle. The Ghost X1 drove At the gate of the base, the headlights flashed twice.
The front window rolled down, revealing a face that Cheng Feng was very familiar with.
"God K?" Cheng Feng was wondering how KILL would appear at the door of AW, and Hu Luobei walked forward with the box next to him, calling: "Pei Pei."
KILL, also a professional player of the Chinese Wilderness Professional League, is currently recognized as the world's number one assassin assassin. Since the S1 season when the wilderness officially held international competitions, KILL has never lost in 1v1 individual events, the god of assassins, what a joke Twitching the corner of his mouth, he said carelessly: "Yo, Fengshen."
Cheng Feng looked at Hu Luobei and then at KILL, as if he couldn't figure out how the two knew each other.
After the two greeted each other for a while, Hu Luobei had already put his small suitcase away, turned around and said goodbye to Cheng Feng, and got on Kill's hover car.
KILL said casually: "Fengshen, see you next season." With a kick of the accelerator, the hover car rushed out quickly.
Before Fang Xiaojie went far, he witnessed the whole process. Seeing Cheng Feng walking towards the base, he asked him: "How did BEI know LOBO's KILL? Could it be that LOBO wants to sign him?"
Cheng Feng didn't know either, so he could only shake his head.
------------------------------------------
The suspension car has already left the Riverside Villa. Pei Peize saw Hu Luobei sitting on the co-pilot swiping the terminal, raised his hand and pressed it on the back of his neck, and squeezed it: "Put it away, don't look at the terminal in the car."
Hu Luobei let out an "oh" and obediently put away the terminal. Then sat down in a regular position and looked ahead.
Not long after, Pei Peize couldn't help it first, and said, "Little Carrot, what were you doing just now? Let me tell you, the black people on the Internet are all idiots. Give them a keyboard and they all think they can lift the earth." , in fact, you can’t even hit the top 3000 on the ladder.”
Hu Luobei turned to look at Pei Peize and blinked: "I'm watching Dad's latest show."
Pei Peize shut up suddenly: "Oh, uncle is really as handsome as before."
There was a little smile on the corner of Hu Luobei's mouth: "Well, he went to the gym for a surprise training a few days before the show."
Every time Pei Peize thinks of Hu's father's so good figure, he feels a lot of pressure, and when he thinks about the 7th and 8th abdominal muscles that he has finally appeared, he can't wait to take off his clothes and let Hu Luobei see his belly Muscles. Pei Peize, who had never been able to show off his abs since middle school, was deeply troubled by whether his figure could catch Xiaoluobo's eyes.
The suspension car climbs along the track until it enters the special track for the floating island. Pei Peize picked up the speed and drove towards the base of the LOBO club.
Like AW, LOBO is one of the 16 teams in the China Wilderness Professional League. The most special thing about this team is that the professional composition of the players is almost all thieves. It is a very standard single-professional team. In the early years of the wilderness league, LOBO's record was quite dazzling. The individual championship trophy and 2v2 and 3v3 trophies The showroom is almost full. In S1 and S2, they entered the World Championships for two consecutive seasons, and won a championship and an Asian championship.
However, starting from the S3 season, the addition of 5v5 team battlefields has caused LOBO's performance to plummet. The 5v5 map is large, and the content of winning is not as simple as who dies first, but the battleground points system. According to the content of each drawn battlefield, the points obtained are also different. Whoever accumulates the points first wins.
The team competition is good to watch, with a variety of professional collocations to derive different tactics, which account for a large proportion of points in the competition. In addition, the 1v1 individual competition is set up separately from the team competition, and the total points are only 2v2, 3v3, 5v5 comprehensive points. So that LOBO's performance suddenly dropped.
I was scolded all the way in the S3 season, and the whole LOBO was numb from top to bottom. The S4 season still stopped at the top eight. For the old fans of LOBO, this is already an expected result. LOBO is indeed making changes, such as absorbing other professions. The two new substitutes in the first team are not rogue professions. They also introduced healers, but the two healers before and after cannot adapt to LOBO's style of play. Transfer to leave.
LOBO's manager, Lu Lusheng, was in a hurry, but Pei Peize looked like an old god, and he didn't see him getting angry at all—until he saw AW's substitute treatment in the playoffs.
Pei Peize broke a mouse when he saw the opponent's expansion pack, and dropped another mouse when he saw the opponent's game video.
Yan Le, LOBO's deputy C, grabbed Pei Peize's arm and said earnestly: "Captain, we can't mess it up anymore. Although we have money, we can't be so prodigal."
Under Lu Lusheng's repeated questioning, Pei Peize said 14 words: "The radishes I have raised for so many years have been beaten by pigs."
Everyone in the team looked at me and looked at you. They got together and calculated who was the carrot and who was the pig, and then there was no more. Everyone wants to compete, and their captains can't kidnap the opponent's players before the season is over.
As for after the game...
Seeing that Pei Peize was in such a hurry that he didn't wait to drive to pick him up, Lu Lusheng came to a conclusion: "This is a precious radish, and it needs to be raised."
