Chapter 156.1: The captain said that he really likes it when...
Wei Xiao was very happy. “It would be great if they all won.”
Bai Cai: “……” He always had the feeling that the next sentence wouldn’t be anything good.
Wei Xiao: “In any case, the alt accounts aren’t locked to an ID. When the time comes, everyone in our team can have one, and we can fight in the brawl as a team!”
Bai Cai’s lips twitched. “Don’t take me along. I’ll get killed by you guys right after I go in.”
There was no protection mechanism for teammates in brawl mode. Even if a team went in together, they would lose health when a skill flew over them. It wasn’t like the 5v5 arena where teammates couldn’t deal damage to each other.
If the five of them went in together, Bai Cai had reason to suspect that he would be the first to get killed by his ‘teammates’.
Wei Xiao: “I’ll get gold coins for killing you. Big brother’s takeover of Sky Island relies on your financial support.” The map for the big brawl was called Sky Island.
Bai Cai was angered to death. “Laozi won’t let you have the kill even if I have to turn into a box upon landing or throw myself into the sea…”
Oh, why should Laozi take part in the opening game?
F*ck, Little Lunatic Wei was trying to trick Laozi again!
And, look at the IDs for these alt accounts! Who would dare use them!
The registration deadline was two hours from now, and the results would be announced at the same time.
Wei Xiao took a look at the time and felt that it was about time. He drove Bai Cai away. “Go then, go then, I’m going to continue watching a live stream.”
Bai Cai’s ears perked up. “Live stream?”
Wei Xiao showed off, “The captain’s live broadcast room. Only I can enter.”
Bai Cai: “………………”
A perfectly good captain had been led astray by the little lunatic just like this!
On Lu Feng’s side, they’d finished resting, and Gary couldn’t wait any more. He was burning with eagerness and wished that they could rush to the canyon for a solo game right then and there.
Old G: “Come on, come on, let’s start!”
Lu Feng: “Wait a moment.”
Old G: “Hm? Is there anything else?”
Lu Feng: “Let me ask for instructions.”
Old G’s face was filled with confusion. “Instructions for what?”
He turned to look at his captain and discovered that his captain had an expression of having a toothache on his face.
Old G was even more confused.
Lu Feng didn’t explain. He looked at the scrolling comments, then asked, “What should I use?”
Gary answered very quickly, “Shadow thief!”
Lu Feng: “Okay, I’ll use the death knight.”
Gary: “???”
Wasn’t Close’s English very good? How come he hadn’t understood such a simple term? “It’s…”
Yuan Ze couldn’t look on any longer. He bonked him on the head. “Shut up.”
Old G was innocent. “Ying.”
If only G’s Chinese was just a tiny bit better, then he would’ve been able to recognize the words Wei Xiao had typed in the scrolling comments.
Oh… If Wei Xiao had used Martian text, Old G would’ve understood a long time ago.
Facts proved that Captain Yuan had a lot of foresight. In order to prevent his teammates from fighting over dog food with him, he’d ‘calculated’ well from the first day he taught them Chinese.
After hearing that his captain was playing in the arena with L&P, Brother Cai was no longer in such a hurry to go back and sleep. He wanted to watch, too!
If this big scene was recorded and released out online, it would bring in explosive traffic, okay?!
Brother Cai carefully and euphemistically expressed this idea to Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao stared at him. “Do you think that FTW is short of that small amount of traffic, or do you think the captain needs it?”
Bai Cai: “……”
Wei Xiao: “Or, do you mean to say that I need it?”
Brother Cai was sour. “I’m short, I’m short on that traffic, alright?!”
Damn it, he was dying from envy every day due to these traffic giants!
The solo in the canyon began.
It could be said that matches between Close and Gary were a fairly common occurrence. Even Brother Cai had seen such matches many times.
Prior to this year, whenever FTW wanted to have a training match against a global top team like L&P, they had had to rely on Gary’s ‘obsession’ with Close.
One solo game in exchange for a 5v5 game. It was painful just thinking back on it.
The shadow thief against the death knight.
In fact, Gary was very much at a disadvantage when these two talents played solo against each other.
In terms of talent restraint, the shadow thief was at a disadvantage against the death knight. Of course, this referred to games between players at the same level.
The death knight had a high base defense, and it had a 5% immunity to physical damage. This 5% shouldn’t be looked down upon; even a single drop of health could be the key to victory in the canyon.
The shadow thief was a talent that dealt physical attacks and didn’t deal even the tiniest bit of other types of damage, so it was difficult for it to fight against death knights in the early stages.
The death knight also had a way to restrain the shadow thief after it gained the light arc skill. The death knight in its light form could use combo moves to trigger a purification effect, which could eliminate the marks on its body. This was deadly against the shadow thief, since it was a talent spec that needed to use marks to brush up its skills.
Not to mention, the death knight’s heavy form had even higher defense and a forced control skill. If the death knight really charged up into the shadow thief’s face, then the shadow thief could only cry and call for daddy.
Back then, Wei Xiao had called out daddy many times.
Yes, it was during that time when the two of them went at it for three days and three nights.
Bai Cai sighed, “Why is Old G so stuck on this? Using the shadow thief in front of the captain is simply seeking humiliation for himself.”
The zen vegetable couldn’t understand it. Wasn’t it good to live happily? Why did he have to go looking for abuse?
Wei Xiao snorted. “Gary’s smart.”
Bai Cai couldn’t see how Martian G was smart at all.
As it turned out, jungler kings were still better at understanding other jungler kings.
Old G might be naive on a daily basis, but he was very thoughtful when it came to Glory.
Why did he always seek Close out for solo? Why did he always insist on using the shadow thief? Why was he so diligent and unafraid of being abused?
It was because his eyes were focused on the nine light arcs!
To outsiders, Lu Feng was taking the death knight to bully outsiders, and it looked like he was bullying Old G: Close’s original personal level was slightly higher than Gary’s, and he then used this talent that restrained the other side. Wasn’t it obviously just trying to hammer him to death?
But in fact, that wasn’t it.
The death knight was a talent that could stimulate the shadow thief’s nine light arcs.
Wei Xiaoxiao was very grateful to L&P. Over the past one and a half months, although Old Dog Yuan had been leeching food and drink on a regular basis, he’d also kept Lu Feng company while he was alone in a foreign country.
So, when Lu Feng asked him what he should use, he’d said the death knight.
Lu Feng was very relaxed as he played. He was obviously in training mode.
He casually cleared his lane soldiers before level six. As long as the death knight stood there in its heavy form, the shadow thief on the other side would never dare to act arrogantly.
The death knight and shadow thief had captured the hearts of many little sisters.
One was a tall and majestic demon in armor, while the other was a slender and cool shadow. It was very eye-catching when they were caught in the same shot together.
The demon’s long sword swept over, and the shadow thief’s crimson blade flashed slightly.
One side gave off a strong sense of power, and the other side was as fast as a cheetah. The fight that erupted with just one clash made the air in the whole canyon grow heavy!
The shadow thief hid himself and tried to attack the death knight from behind. Nothing could be seen from the death knight’s perspective, but that didn’t prevent him from turning back and drawing his blade, his skills sweeping across and accurately landing on the shadow thief.
Old G reacted quickly. He took the damage and left a mark, then used his shadow attack’s high mobility to attack and move at the same time.
Close had started with his heavy form. Many players would feel that the death knight’s heavy form was too clunky when they used it, but when it came to Close, it was grand and open, filled with power.
Wei Xiao had already started boasting and praising in the scrolling comments.
Bai Cai was shocked at how quickly he could type on a tablet. At the same time, he wondered, “Won’t you affect the captain’s operations like this?”
This question seemed familiar, but the one asking this time was a teammate, so Wei Xiao’s reply was friendlier, “The captain said that he really likes it when I’m waving flags and cheering for him.”
Bai Cai: “…………” He always had the feeling that he was being too nosy.
Facts proved that he’d really been too nosy. Wei Xiao looked at him.
Bai Cai: “What?”
Wei Xiao said euphemistically, “In fact, the captain likes me no matter what I do.”
Bai Cai: “……………………..” Can you be a tiny, tiny, tiny bit less shameless!
While talking, Lu Feng and Gary in the canyon had already both reached level six.
This was the beginning of the show.
Why was the death knight the best talent spec to inspire nine light arcs?
Because of restraint.
When it came to light arcs, generally speaking, it was still a matter of challenging the limit.
One, two, or three light arcs were easy to brush, and four or five light arcs were still doable.
Seven light arcs belonged to the level of a normal professional player, and eight light arcs required hard training. Nine light arcs was legendary.
Memorizing the series of moves wasn’t difficult. What was difficult was how to stack up enough marks and damage using the zero cooldown time of the shadow attack in order to activate nine light arcs.
Not only did it depend on hand speed, it also depended on skill hit rate and the player’s judgement of the current situation.
For example, the enemy’s movements, evading forced control skills, or even calculating the death knight’s purification skill…
All in all, it most required a very high concentration level from the player themselves.
