Chapter 30.1: FTW, there’s something wrong with your script!

Wei Xiao certainly noticed this friend request, but he directly ignored it and skipped to the next one as he explained, “On my Weibo post yesterday, I said I wouldn’t reject anyone, so I didn’t reject it, but I don’t like Marshal and won’t accept it.”

The anti-fans: “…………”

They’d all originally wanted to flame him, but their ammunition failed to explode.

Wei Xiao’s move was really brilliant: If he accepted it, he’d have been labelled as a ‘spy for the outside’, and Yuan Ze’s haters would’ve flamed him all the way up to heaven; if he rejected it, he’d be labelled with ‘Chinese scaredy cat’, and FTW’s haters would’ve sent him up to heaven.

Now, he chose to ignore it.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of some ‘spy for the outside’ or ‘Chinese scaredy cat’ label. He simply didn’t like Yuan Ze, and he’d said he wouldn’t refuse anyone who came, so he hadn’t rejected the friend application.

Following the literal meaning and still containing a subtle criticism within, he managed to completely sidestep the situation. Even the haters had to admit that this kid not only had amazing trash talk, but his ability to manage situations was also pretty good.

After dealing with the friend requests, Wei Xiao was now in a good mood.

It was great playing professionally!

Having people send themselves over for solo matches while streaming was a much better feeling than being the grandmaster behind the scenes!

Wei Xiao was a little excited.

He went back to the matching room and received a lot of applications.

“Let’s go in order. Let me see who came first…”

The people in the scrolling comments had also noticed this and instantly became excited, “F*ck! It’s God Le!”

“Oh, f*ck me, grandmaster, you’re really amazing. You have enough enemies to grow a forest outside, and still have hostility at home.”

“God Le, God Le, have you also been abused by the grandmaster before?!”

Yue Wenle sat across from Wei Xiao. He crunched on his chips and said, “It’s not that I’ve been abused. It’s that I’ve been abused to tears.”

He didn’t lower his voice, and Wei Xiao’s mic caught his voice very clearly, transmitting each and every word to the audience.

The live broadcast room’s scrolling comments changed tone again, “Holy shit! This resentment!”

“Damn, how does my Lele cry? Hurry and cry for your big sister to hear!”

“Fellow sisters, I think FTW has a new CP!”

“This is quite nice to chew on, indeed.”

In addition to the lovely girls, there were naturally also people who were sneering cynically, “FTW is really going for it, they’re lifting up this newcomer at the expense of the old.”

“Old Yue, switch teams. FTW isn’t treating you like a human, what are you staying there for?!”

“Old Yue, if you’re being threatened, just blink…”

If there weren’t that many scrolling comments, he could pick out a few to respond to, but in this scenario with thousands of comments, he couldn’t even read them all, and there was no need to reply.

Wei Xiao poked his head out to look at Yue Wenle, “Coming?”

Yue Wenle’s tone was dark, “I’ve been waiting for you for two days.”

Wei Xiao was ashamed, “It’s been busy.”

Yue Wenle shredded the chips: Really busy. So busy with the captain that you don’t know what time of the day it is!

These words couldn’t be said, so the aggrieved Yue Wenle put forth a request, “Use the thief.”

Wei Xiao was surprised, “……” His lips moved, and his mouth formed the words, “I’m streaming, what about your dignity?”

Yue Wenle somehow actually understood, “You have to use the thief!”

Wei Xiao had always been good tempered with his own people, “Okay, okay, okay.”

Needless to say, the CP party on the scrolling comments were already standing up and cheering!

The two clear, youthful voices were clean and pure. Adding in God Le’s bright and tender baby face, as long as Quiet looked even reasonably attractive… Damn, how tasty!

Some viewers were analyzing the situation rationally, “FTW’s newcomer is a top-laner, right? Could it be that he’s also good with the thief?”

“That’s normal, there are a few talent specs for thieves that can be used for the top lane.”

“Hurry up! Hurry up! We want to watch a homicide!”

The other newcomers would also be supported by their teammates when they made their debut after joining a team, but they were very different from Wei Xiao. The others were cute newbies who double queued with their older team members and cooperated harmoniously in an atmosphere as sweet as honey. As for FTW––

Resentment, bitter hatred, and an eagerness for revenge.

It was different, it was different, it was really very different!

The first game began. When Yue Wenle chose the ice hunter, the audience made an ‘Oh-ho’ sound.

It was full of killing intent! Yue Wenle’s resentment must be real. He really wanted to fight to the death with Wei Xiao!

In the China Glory circle, the ice hunter was basically permanently linked with Yue Wenle himself. In 5v5’s BP process, in a situation where they were unable to target the great demon king, they could only target FTW’s double c-positions.

In a show of respect, Yue Wenle’s ice hunter stayed in the Ban position all year round, and he was never allowed to use it.

These so-called famous heroes all seemed to carry an aura with them. The ice hunter that Yue Wenle played was different from other ice hunters.

However…

Thieves had a natural advantage over hunters!

Even if the ice hunter had a deceleration bonus that could slow down the close-combat thief, there were no teammates in a solo game. How could the ice hunter develop in the early stages?

Just when the spectators thought that Wei Xiao would suppress Yue Wenle like crazy in the early stage and take away his chance to develop so that the entire match would end in 10 minutes…

Wei Xiao actually gave up the entire early stage.

The shadow thief vs the ice hunter in a solo game––

In the early stages, the shadow thief was the daddy and could casually mess with the ice hunter until it couldn’t even stand up. However, once it dragged on to the later stage of the game, and the ice hunter’s godly equipment was in place, it became the real ancestor.

One arrow from the ice hunter could shoot through ten thieves, got it?

If the thief wasn’t able to grasp the advantage in the early stages, they could do nothing but wait for death in the later stages.

The scrolling comments sighed, “I thought that this grandmaster was amazing, but that’s all he’s got. He’s playing a thief, yet he’s so restrained in the early stages. What’s the point of a solo match? When the ice hunter’s equipment is in place, he’ll be able to shoot him dead with a single arrow.”

“His reputation was so overblown, yet he messed up in the first round?”

“And he’s even losing to his own teammate? FTW, there’s something wrong with your script!”

“Let’s go, let’s go. What bullshit is this grandmaster, he just has a name and nothing else.”

It had been 15 minutes since the start of the match, and it was now at a very critical point. Yue Wenle’s ice hunter had saved up enough for three pieces of equipment. When the Q skill was used, it would be able to insta-kill the shadow thief…

The winner and loser were already determined; that was what everyone who watched the live broadcast believed.

Wei Xiao curved his lips, “Now, it’s fair.”

After saying these words, he went invisible with a light arc. While nobody else had yet reacted, seven light arcs covered the ice hunter’s head. The ice hunter used flash to no avail and ended up thoroughly dead.

The scrolling comments were stunned for half a second, and then followed up with a screen full of f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck!

“Seven light arcs, amazing!”

“This little brother really has some skill???”

“Then what was he doing in the early stage? Picking flowers in the jungle?”

“He just said that now it’s fair. Could it be that he was waiting for the ice hunter to develop before he started fighting?”

“F*ck… that’s too arrogant!”

For the next six or seven minutes, it was a total one-sided massacre.

There was no need to mention the ice hunter in the canyon. Even the onlookers were practically crying.

What the hell was this!

Where had this crazy thief come from?!

This… this…

In the first 15 minutes of the game, the thief had clearly been unable to suppress the ice hunter, but now that it was at the stage where the ice hunter should be stronger, the ice hunter was instead forced to the ground and smeared all over the ground.

Victory!

Wei Xiao won.

The scrolling comments were full of, “Feeling heartache for God Le.”

“Lele, don’t cry.”

“They must have switched people in the second half of the match! It was Close playing for him, right?”

Wei Xiao ignored the scrolling comments and stretched out his head to look at Yue Wenle, “God Le?”

He hadn’t shown any mercy and was now a little afraid that Yue Wenle would go into seclusion.

Yue Wenle was dazed for a moment. “Beast.”

Wei Xiao: “Cough.”

He seemed fine.

Yue Wenle collapsed back into his chair, “Goddamn, it’s fortunate that laozi is in FTW.”

He suddenly understood Eurostar’s mood. As a marksman, it was very common for him to get beaten up and cut down in team games. He used to look down on Eurostar’s careful manner; what was there to be afraid of? Wasn’t it just getting cut to death?

Now, he had had his memory refreshed and remembered the fear of being dominated by the devil.

Fortunately, he was in FTW. If he was in any other team, he would want to die if he encountered Wei Xiao, and there was no need to even mention Lu Feng…

Was Eurostar a fool? Wasn’t he happy being in the top lane? Why had he switched to the bottom lane?!

Wei Xiao saw that Yue Wenle was in good condition and was relieved as he continued his broadcast, “Reasonably speaking, in a solo match, I only know of two people who can use the ice hunter to kill the shadow thief.”

The scrolling comments went wild, “Close!”

Wei Xiao: “Yes, Close can do it.”

Scrolling comments: “Who is the other one?”

Everyone was speculating, but they didn’t think it was very likely. In regular single player competitions, heroes were chosen at random, but the talents were up to the players. Even if it was randomized to hunter vs thief, nobody would choose ice against shadow. It was just like giving up the competition.

Wei Xiao laughed lightly and answered, “Me.”

Scrolling comments: “???”

Wei Xiao explained patiently, “Other than Close, I’m the only other person who can win in a solo match by killing the ice hunter with a shadow thief.”

Scrolling comments: “……………………”

Grandmaster, can you be a little less shameless!

Wei Xiao continued, “Alright. Let’s make a new rule. For the sake of fairness, I’ll use the same hero and talent as anyone who comes to solo against me.”

As soon as his words came out, the audience went even crazier.

Fair?

How the f*ck was this called ‘fair’?

Others would bring the heroes they were famous for to solo against him. Shouldn’t he be kneeling and calling them daddy?

Did he think he was Close and could do it all when it came to solo?

Wake up, there wouldn’t be another Close in the Glory circle for a hundred years!
