Chapter 251.2: Little Lunatic Wei's crooked logic~

translator: xiin

editor: apricot

The host might have been feeling this kind of complicated inner drama, but he still had to ask his questions. Fortunately, he had some mental preparation, and he knew that he had to speak carefully when faced with Little Lunatic Wei. He couldn’t blindly hand out conversation leads.

This fellow was the soft tip of FTW’s heart. No matter what, he had someone backing him, but the host didn’t have the same treatment!

The host was trembling and timid as he asked his questions cautiously. Those who understood the situation knew that he was interviewing a player, but those who weren’t in the know would think that it was a little eunuch serving a tyrant…

The audience in the live broadcast room scolded him. “Do you know how to interview or not? Ask some explosive questions!”

“Who wants to listen to you guys nagging? Let the fence down a little, I want to see Little Lunatic Wei!”

“Negative review. I suggest that the competition committee freeze out this host, he’s so cowardly when doing an interview, what the hell kind of interview is this!”

It was fortunate that the big brother host couldn’t see the scrolling comments. Otherwise, he’d likely die from anger; if you guys can do it, then you guys come and do it. You even want explosive questions, what are you thinking? Do you want the live broadcast room to get closed down!

However, what would come, would still come. Wei Xiao had slipped out for the interview, which meant that he had something to say.

The moment was unstoppable. At most, it could only be delaying the inevitable.

The host saw that all the questions that should be asked had been asked and that there shouldn’t be anything else left. He ended things out of habit with: “In that case, Quiet, please share a few words with everyone.” When this sentence came out, the host’s heart trembled. That wasn’t right; this was a forbidden sentence, how had he just given it out just like that!

Wei Xiao had been waiting for just this moment. He picked up the microphone and spoke in fluent English.

The host was stunned when he heard it.

Wei Xiao’s English was legit. Additionally, he’d already had a rough draft of what he wanted to say in his heart a long time ago. Although it held some Chinese references, it was still good enough that the whole world could understand him.

At first, the audience in the live broadcast studio couldn’t quite react. After they reacted, a translator emperor stepped out and provided an on-the-spot translation, leaving themselves stunned as well after they had finished translating. “F*ck, he really dares to say this!”

Wei Xiao finished saying everything in one go, then made a big and wide smile that was both sunny and handsome. “Thank you.”

He bowed, then left, leaving the entire internet abroad to explode on its own.

What had he said?

The general translation went like this. “I was very happy playing today’s game. L&P is very strong, and they are opponents who are very worthy of respect.”

“I hope that everyone will first hold back on going to flame them. Of course, you can spray Old G appropriately; who told him to have such lucky hands, which allowed him to score FTW in the draw?”

“L&P stopped in the top eight, not because they weren’t strong enough, but because their opponents were too strong. Don’t worry, if we can’t win the world championship, then please scold L&P to death; if we win the championship, then there’s no need to scold them.”

Wei Xiao paused for a moment, and then his lips curved and he continued, “After all, there’s only one champion under the new competition system. Losing to the champion would make them the runner up, and our FTW will win the world championship cup!”

These words were really arrogant and willful when they came out, but they were also inexplicably sweet.

The audience abroad wanted to flame him to death online, especially the L&P fans who hated FTW to death to start with, but it also felt as though the words choked in their throats. At this second, they actually felt subtly touched in their hearts. Well, just briefly, just a little bit!

This new competition system was an elimination system. What did the top eight amount to? There was no shame in losing to the global champion.

And what about the top four? Maybe they just hadn’t met the champion team.

And what about the runner up? Wasn’t it the same because it wasn’t shameful to lose to the champion team?!

This year’s new competition system had no rankings. It only had one champion.

The second place who’d lost to the championship team was no different from a team in the top eight!

They were all runners-up who’d lost to the champion team.

As long as FTW won the world championship, then L&P would still be the runner up this year.

Yuan Ze’s mouth twitched when he saw this segment from the backstage lounge.

Old G: “Deamn!”

VIVI rubbed his forehead.

MO remained silent.

AA: “………………”

Yuan Ze cursed once. “Stinky brat!” Who the hell wanted to be the runner up!

On the other side, the L&P fans wailed and burst out into tears. “Quiet, if you can’t win the world championship, Laozi will go over there and blow up the FTW base!”

The host’s legs were weak from Wei Xiao’s words, and he just wanted to finish up the interview quickly, but Wei Xiao recalled something and then added a sentence. “Oh, right, IN doesn’t count though.” IN, who’d been wiped out by FTW 3:0, the team who’d made for such an unenjoyable game, didn’t deserve the title of runner up, let alone when compared with L&P.

It wasn’t only the domestic live broadcast rooms; even the foreign fans couldn’t help laughing.

How should they say it? Looking at the whole world, only a boy like this would dare to be so arrogant, right?

But somehow, even if he was so crazy and arrogant, there was no way to hate him.

Miraculously, the domestic haters didn’t start flaming anyone.

How should they explain it? This speech was covered with potential spots they could flame that really made people wish they could snap back at him until he went into seclusion.

But Little Lunatic Wei…

Forget it, forget it.

They’d first wait for the global finals. It wouldn’t be too late if they waited until after FTW failed to take the world championships and start flaming then!

After the interview ended, the arrogant and brash Little Lunatic Wei made his way backstage.

Chen Feng stared at him.

Wei Xiao apologized even before their coach could get a word out. “I was wrong!”

Chen Feng: “…………”

Lu Feng opened up a bottle of water for Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao shot him a sweet smile. “I’m really thirsty.”

Chen Feng: “………………” You had such a huge pile of things to say. Now you know how to feel thirsty?!

Although he hadn’t originally planned to scold him, Lu Feng’s blasé attitude filled Chen Feng with anger that had nowhere to go.

What, when had he ever tried to manage this little lunatic?

What was Lu Feng protecting him for? Would he dare to scold him in front of him?!

When Coach Chen Feng was very angry, the plans we made could end up looking quite fatal.

Wei Xiao quickly set down his water bottle and continued apologizing. “Next time…” He hadn’t yet finished saying that he wouldn’t go up to the interview table when Chen Feng interrupted him. “What did you do wrong?”

Wei Xiao bowed his head and slouched, using the corners of his eyes to shoot signals like crazy at his boyfriend.

Chen Feng bonked him on the head. “Is taking the world championship cup wrong? Or is it wrong to win?”

These words…

Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up. He raised his head causing his hair to flop up, beneath which his eyes were sparkling brightly.

Chen Feng was afraid of these small expressions of his. Mainly, he was afraid that a certain vinegar altar would be unreasonable, and therefore, he could only say some cruel words. “I’ll deal with you if you can’t win the championship.”

Wei Xiao had always had the personality where he would definitely take a mile if he was given an inch, then keep going until he couldn’t anymore. “Coach, are you not angry?”

Chen Feng: I’m almost angered to death.

Wei Xiao: “You’re not scolding me even though I said those things?”

Chen Feng: Do I f*cking dare to scold you?!

Wei Xiao: “Coach, you’re really great!”

Chen Feng: “…………”

Get the hell out, can’t you see that your vinegar jar’s expression is as heavy as water!

Tang Chen had just finished handling some follow-up matters, and he only learned about the interview content when he came back. He patted Wei Xiao vigorously. “It’s really something you would do!”

Wei Xiao staggered from this pat and conveniently fell towards his boyfriend.

Lu Feng propped him up.

Tang Chen was oblivious to it all and was still in a good mood. “As long as FTW wins the championship, then L&P will be the runner up. Brat, you’re really… amazing!”

The corners of Chen Feng’s lips also couldn’t help curving upwards.

They were all old teammates. Who would wish to see any one of them on the decline?

After L&P came to a stop in the top eight, they’d also been worried about Yuan Ze.

With the fuss that Little Lunatic Wei had stirred up, public opinion would at least offer L&P a trace of goodwill.

Of course, L&P also deserved it. No matter who it was who watched today’s five matches, even passers-by who knew nothing about Glory, they would all wave their flags and cheer for L&P.

Wonderful fights featuring a fight between equals. This had been the ultimate competition dedicated to the global audience, a performance that had been created from endless amounts of hard work.

No regrets!

Just then, Yue Lele, who’d finished knocking back a whole packet of potato chips, uttered something. “We entered the top four in the world! We entered the semi-finals!”

The pile of people in the lounge: “…………”

God Le, do your nerves grow on potato chips?

Winning the eight into four meant that they were about to usher in the global semi-finals.

This year’s overall format was arranged like this: The eight into four was soon followed by the semi-finals, and then, there was a week-long ‘rest’.

Why was ‘rest’ in quotation marks? Because it wasn’t really a break. Instead, the global singles and doubles competitions were arranged during that week.

Because they were 100 person brawls, both the doubles and singles competitions only needed one day each.

A three day break after the semi-finals was followed by the singles competition, the doubles competition, and then the global team competition finals was the grand finale.

If they wanted to win a triple crown, then every day that came after this was very important.

Resting was impossible. When the semi-finals list was about to come out, everyone in FTW was calm.

What was there to not be calm about?

Y1, Eve, Pro, no matter who FTW came up against, it would be a fierce battle!

The semi-finals were based on random system match-ups. Group A was Y1 against Pro, and Group B was FTW against EVE.

Did L&P head back home and vacate the base?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Even without mentioning the singles and doubles competitions, they would never miss out on watching the global finals.

Yuan Ze’s hands itched badly, and he really wanted to go and pinch Little Lunatic Wei.

If FTW won the championship, then L&P would be runners up?

Did people all over the world believe in this fallacy?

Well, yes.

Little Lunatic Wei, if you don’t f*cking win the championship, Laozi will chop you up!
