Xue Lan looked at Wen Yan again, and his heart was lifted up for the nth time.
Wen Yan's eyes were not on him. He eased his fingertips on the bottle cap and spoke again as Xue Lan's heartbeat was about to jump out of his chest:
"The reason you weren't in the singles match this time was a comprehensive consideration of chip level and skills. Your personal ability is also excellent."
His words made Xue Lan feel relieved, but at the same time, her face started to heat up unconsciously.
Xue Lan certainly didn't care about this, and the singles competition itself was a show for the top and bottom protagonists. As a cannon fodder, he naturally knew his own limitations, and was happy to be able to cheer and support from the sidelines.
Fortunately, Zhou Kanqing changed the subject and asked blankly: "Ayan, why don't you comfort me? You didn't take me to the singles competition."
"It's not that simple." Duan Wenzheng, who was playing a game nearby, answered casually, "Because I'm not good at it."
"..." Zhou Kanqing's keyboard made a clacking sound. "You really deserved to be turned away yesterday, you idiot?! Come and do a solo if you have time!"
When Xue Lan heard Zhou Kanqing mention how Duan Wenzhen was turned away by Wen Yan yesterday, he couldn't help but recall the scene in which he was alone in the middle of the night, banging on Wen Yan's door, pretending to be fierce and shouting "Open the door". He felt both pitiful and funny at the same time.
But just as he raised the corner of his lips during these seven minutes that suddenly became lively because of Zhou Kanqing, the scene of Duan Wenzhen standing outside the door last night suddenly emerged in his mind.
Fortunately, the game had officially started at this time. He was grateful and quickly threw himself into the new round of qualifying, without paying attention to anything else.
Currently, in the entire game of "Dawn of Doom", the profession of medics is very scarce, so the game developers have also strengthened and improved the medics in this new version.
Therefore, in the team configuration, the most popular style of play for professional teams is four protecting one, and this method requires an assaulter to be at the back to protect the safety of the medic.
Xue Lan had just joined the team, and his most important task in the competition was to protect the safety of the medical soldiers.
Therefore, after the team competition, his personal training time was almost all spent on playing ranked games with Qi Siyu.
Xue Lan and Qi Siyu were teammates in the training camp, and now they work together more smoothly.
After the personal training time was over, Duan Wenzheng went to pack up and move to the dormitory. Qi Siyu and Xue Lan had just finished a qualifying match and looked at the ranking points: "Let's play two more games. If I win two more games, I should be able to enter the top 30 in singles and doubles."
Qi Siyu's team ranking points are currently in the top ten in the national server, but it is difficult for a medic to rank solo, and he had never played much before joining the team, so his ranking is not high.
Xue Lan, who was originally planning to play a few rounds of survival battles, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and turned off the survival battles.
Wen Yan suddenly said, "Kanqing, go play duo with Qi Siyu."
Zhou Kanqing took off his headset in confusion: "Ah? I'm playing solo."
"Go practice cooperation with Qi Siyu."
"Why should I practice with him..." Zhou Kanqing blurted out, and suddenly remembered that Qi Siyu was also present, so he slowed down his voice: "The two of us are charging and attacking, even if we have to protect one with four people, there is no need..."
"Don't we need coordination when charging?"
"..." Zhou Kanqing shut up and then opened a duo team to rank with Qi Siyu.
Seeing this, Xue Lan prepared for the survival battle again, but as soon as he opened the page, he received an invitation to join a team.
The inviter is lgw-wind.
Xue Lan looked at Wen Yan through the monitor in confusion. Wen Yan was staring at the monitor in front of him seriously and did not notice Xue Lan's gaze.
Xue Lan hesitated for a while, then received a private message from Wen Yan.
lgw-wind: See how your skills are progressing.
That is... it's time to check the homework? !
Xue Lan quickly clicked to accept the invitation to join the team, and accepted the inspection conscientiously.
Wen Yan's skills have always been the ceiling of the battle in "Dawn of Doom", and since both of them are in the damage position, they won both games smoothly.
On the other hand, Zhou Kanqing and Qi Siyu somehow… lost five games in a row in the time it took them to win two games.
“Fuck, why is it that all the people I meet in the same group with you are idiots?” Zhou Kanqing held his head in doubt of his life.
"I want to ask this question." Qi Siyu looked at her horrible score drop after losing streak, and fell into deep despair: "Lanlan, where are you? Please save me. I don't want to queue with him anymore."
Xue Lan looked at Qi Siyu, then looked at Wen Yan embarrassedly: "How about you join me?"
Xue Lan had just finished the game when Qi Siyu hurriedly opened the team invitation interface. Her movements were so fast that Zhou Kanqing was stunned: "Qi Siyu, what do you mean?! Am I unworthy? Am I a bad player?"
Qi Siyu looked at the team formation interface and was stunned: "..."
Seeing him stunned, Zhou Kanqing quickly leaned over to look at his computer. After a moment, he let out a devilish laugh: "Hahahahahaha, the points you've lost now are no longer comparable to exist!!!"
"..." Qi Siyu stood up doubting her life: "Headache, I'm going to sleep!!"
After saying that, he put away his computer, questioning his life, and fled from the training room with his head in his arms. Zhou Kanqing looked at the time, packed up his things and followed him to rest.
After a short episode, Xue Lan and Wen Yan entered the third round of team ranking competition.
As soon as the two entered the game, a surprised voice suddenly sounded in the team voice chat.
"Wind! Oh my god, it's really Wind!"
The girl's voice in the team chat was sweet and slightly excited. Although Xue Lan had never seen such a scene before, considering Wen Yan's popularity, it seemed normal.
He debugged the initial settings and waited for the game to officially start.
Wen Yan didn't say anything, and the girl continued, "I will definitely give you some blood later!"
When the game started, Xue Lan immediately moved forward to expand the circle.
When he was duo-queuing with Wen Yan, he did not protect the medic's position. The two of them explored the enemy territory ahead together.
The female medic followed behind the two of them, still excitedly saying, "God Wind, I have always liked you very much. It's because of you that I played this game!"
Wen Yan remained silent.
"Girl, Yan Shen may not have turned on the team microphone." Seeing that she had been talking to herself for a long time, her teammate reminded her to smooth things over.
Xue Lan unconsciously recalled the original text, in which the former "Xue Lan" liked to wait for news about Wen Yan starting a qualifying match every day to block him, but Wen Yan never paid any attention to him.
But "Xue Lan" is like this. Even if Wen Yan doesn't speak, he will follow behind him, replenishing blood while typing or chatting with him on the microphone.
Of course, some people also said that Wen Yan did not turn on the team messages or voice, but Xue Lan knew that Wen Yan did not have the habit of turning off the team voice.
It may be troublesome to meet such teammates, but once the team voice is turned off, you will miss many necessary reports from teammates in the game. Such reports may be completed by signaling or typing in low-end games, so they are dispensable, but in high-ranking games where every second is crucial, once a report is missed, it is very likely to become the key to victory or defeat.
The medic did not give up even after his teammates reminded him that Wen Yan might not have turned on the microphone, and he was quite like the former "Xue Lan".
Xue Lan had no intention of intervening due to his own guilty conscience, but as the group gradually approached the boundary on the map, he could vaguely hear the unusual sound of leaves shaking in the distance amid the constant noise in his ears.
The enemy may have arrived earlier than them, and may even have set an ambush.
lgw-exist: Shhh.
Xue Lan originally just wanted to listen to the other party's footsteps quietly, but he didn't expect that the medic saw his typing and didn't keep quiet. Instead, he said excitedly: "Who is it? Isn't it the former 'Baby' anchor? Why do you act so aloof now that you have joined the professional team? Have you forgotten when you were clinging to Wind in the past? I have never seen anyone so hypocritical."
Xue Lan's heart choked. This was the reason why he didn't remind the girl from the beginning. After all, if you look through the almanac, you will find that "Xue Lan" has done quite a few things that really ruined his life.
That's why, even though he was the team leader's daughter, he still didn't even add Wen Yan as his friend after years of pestering her.
Such annoying things... The list of things "he" has done is too numerous to mention.
And at this moment, the "victim" of many years was still by his side, Xue Lan was even more embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.
lgw-exist: someone exists.
"We haven't even reached the middle realm yet, how come there are people here? I just said a few words while running around, what's wrong with that? Are you trying to occupy the Wind God all by yourself?"
"During those times when you were live streaming and blocked Wind's way, which time didn't you stick to him and keep talking? Why didn't you tell him to stop talking and say there was someone else there?"
"And your voice is really famous on the Internet for being annoying. You are a nice girl but your voice sounds like a man's. You still have the nerve to say that your voice is unique. Which man would like to listen to you? Isn't it just a ready-made example of 'How come a nice girl has a mouth'?"
Xue Lan couldn't stand it anymore and simply turned on the microphone: "I was..."
"Three in the grass on the left front."
Wen Yan's voice suddenly sounded in the team microphone. Xue Lan, who was interrupted, received the order and quickly drew his gun. Together with Wen Yan, he dodged to find the nearest cover and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the grass near a giant tree that three people were hugging.
Xue Lan made a prompt decision and threw a hand grenade over. Sure enough, the next second, the bush began to shake violently.
Wen Yan and Xue Lan found the right opportunity at the same time, and took away the three opponents with a few blind shots in the swaying grass.
Wen Yan immediately gave the signal to attack.
At that time, the medic knew that the fight had started and turned off the microphone, and everyone advanced towards the enemy camp together.
As the other side delayed time for others to revive, the two sides fought three large and small group battles before finally successfully destroying the other side.
Xue Lan had just breathed a sigh of relief when the medic opened his microphone again:
"God Wind, you didn't turn off the team chat! I've always liked you so much, I played this game just for you, can I add you as my friend?"
"There are so few medics now, let's fight together when we are free. I promise I will not let you down and will always have supplies! Also, God Wind, what kind of girls do you like? My friends and I are very curious. No matter what kind you like, I can learn from you!"
Now that the game was over, Xue Lan coldly pressed the black button, not wanting to bother with this stranger whom he would never meet again.
But he thought Wen Yan would ignore him just like he did, but suddenly he heard Wen Yan turn on the team microphone.
"Those who are good at playing games should be DPS. At the very least... they should join a professional team."
