Chapter 34.2: If you put those words just now on Weibo, the two of us will be a confirmed CP

Wei Xiao lifted his head, looking into Lu Feng’s deep, black eyes.

Fans always liked to say that Close’s eyes were very cold. It was like a kind of dark jade that had been frozen for thousands of years and held no trace of emotion.

However, Wei Xiao felt that this was the most human pair of eyes he’d ever seen.

It was like the sea shrouded in sunshine, warming him all the way to the heart.

Wei Xiao: “Captain…”

Lu Feng: “Hm?”

Wei Xiao: “If you put those words just now on Weibo, the two of us will be a confirmed CP.”

Lu Feng: “……”

It didn’t matter how good the atmosphere was, and it didn’t matter how pink those soap bubbles were. With Wei Xiao’s mouth, they all shattered with a touch!

Lu Feng’s face was cold, “One hour.”

How could Wei Xiao not understand what he meant? He panicked, “You said two hours, you said you never lie, Captain, how could you do this!”

Lu Feng: “Half an hour.”

Wei Xiao begged for mercy, “I’m wrong, I’m wrong. We’re not forming a CP, we won’t form a CP in this lifetime!”

Lu Feng stopped walking and turned to look at him, “Wei Xiao.”

Wei Xiaoxiao acted small and subservient, “I’m listening.”

Lu Feng was expressionless, “Go to bed early.”

Wei Xiao: “???”

What do you mean, do you mean that I don’t even get half an hour?!

F*ck!

Wei Xiao was anxious, “No, no, no, Captain, I was wrong.”

Lu Feng looked at him, “What did you do wrong?”

Wei Xiao’s expression was muddled, what had he done wrong? He also wanted to know what he’d done wrong!

As a man, survival was an instinct.

Wei Xiao tried tentatively, “Um… forming a CP?”

Lu Feng sneered.

Wei Xiao was anxious enough to die, “How about you decide?”

Lu Feng: “What am I deciding?”

Wei Xiao: “Just… about the forming of a CP?”

Lu Feng went upstairs, closing the door behind him

Wei Xiao smashed his nose right up against it!

Bai Cai came up with a glass of watermelon juice and saw Wei Xiao standing there, “What’s the matter?”

He had the pathetic look of having been shut outside by his boyfriend.

Wei Xiao snatched away his watermelon juice and spoke in frustration, “The captain’s words can’t be relied on.”

Sure enough, this was related to his ‘boyfriend’. Bai Cai rolled his eyes, “Give me back my juice. Laozi just made it!”

Wei Xiao took a big, fierce sip, “You don’t even like watermelon.”

Bai Cai: “The whole base is full of watermelon. Do I have a choice?”

Wei Xiao got right to the point, “There’s also apples and oranges. You made the juice for me.”

Bai Cai: “……………”

Damn it! This little beast didn’t deserve to be treated well at all!

The two of them entered the training room, and Bai Cai asked him, “So, what did you do this time to provoke the captain?”

Wei Xiao sighed, “I don’t know. The captain’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, I can’t see through to it.”

Bai Cai was a little worried about winter training, and he asked, “Is it related to the intensive training?”

Wei Xiao nodded.

Bai Cai frowned, “What about it?”

The training that Chen Feng had talked about two years ago was really too cruel. Bai Cai had been with the captain for nearly two years, and he also felt heartache when he heard it.

Wei Xioao had always been open and honest to his good brother. He finished explaining, then said, “…Tell me, tell me what you think. Isn’t what the captain said very misleading?”

Bai Cai: “……”

Wei Xiao still had words to say, “Say, what was wrong with what I said? If these words went on Weibo, wouldn’t the whole world think that we’re in a relationship?!”

Brother Cai was in very urgent need of that expression pack. Yes, the one that said, ‘Regret, this person is really regretful’!

He shouldn’t have asked, what the hell did he ask for!

Wei Xiao was really aggrieved to death, “It wasn’t okay for me to talk about forming a CP, yet talking about not forming a CP also didn’t work. Such a big two hours of solo flew away just like that. They just flew away from right in front of my eyes just like that!”

Bai Cai drank a mouthful of cold water to suppress his shock, “Old Wei.”

Wei Xiao: “Hm?”

Bai Cai: “Listen to your brother’s advice. Don’t go and provoke the captain tonight.”

Wei Xiao was unreconciled, “But he promised me.”

Bai Cai patted him on the shoulder and said somberly, “Listen to me. Your brother wouldn’t harm you.”

If you f*cking went up and kicked up a fuss again, the captain might really do you in a fit of rage!

Damn it!

It was too self-abusive. A one-sided love wasn’t terrible, and a secret love wasn’t anything terrible either.

What was terrible was when one liked a little beast who was heartless, clueless, and blind enough to reach the skies!

Bai Cai still wanted to see FTW win the championship!

It wouldn’t be a big deal if this little beast died in bed, but it would be catastrophic if their team was left short of a person and ended up as a team of four!

In order not to have Wei Xiao go upstairs and ‘send himself to his own death’, Bai Cai dragged Little Ning and Old Yue to take turns accompanying him.

The rules they set were like this: they queued in threes for ranked games, then accompanied Wei Xiao for one solo match, all to ensure that Wei Xiao didn’t stop for a single moment and had no energy to go find the Captain.

The training room was energetic and heated. At ten o’clock, Lu Feng went back downstairs.

Wei Xiao had long forgotten what had taken place earlier in the evening. Now that he saw Lu Feng coming, his eyes were glued to him again, and he wouldn’t shift them away even when pulled at.

Lu Feng didn’t look at him and went to start up the projector, “This year’s training is different from previous years.”

Bai Cai let out a breath of relief. Fortunately, Lu Feng was here about serious matters and hadn’t come down to carry the little beast upstairs.

Chen Feng also came inside and let him explain the details to everyone.

This year’s winter training was really different from previous years.

As Chen Feng had said before, winter training from the past two years had become an exclusive term for the powerful teams. Ordinary teams didn’t participate in it at all.

Originally, the competition committee had set up the training session in order to balance out the levels in each competition zone before the start of the official competition so that the competition would be more fun to watch, rather than one team dominating all the matches.

Unfortunately, the gap between the strong teams and the weak teams was too large, and 15 days wasn’t very long. Even if all the teams were all pulled into the same place, the strong teams only focused on training against other strong teams.

Later, the competition committee imposed a daily draw, but this made the situation even worse.

The weak teams who were drawn by the strong teams ended up being abused for over 10 games, and their mentality collapsed. They simply didn’t attend the training the next year.

They’d changed the rules back and forth, but were never able to find a suitable solution. This year, the competition committee had come up with a new big idea.

Only 18 teams signed up for winter training this year, but the competition committee ‘bullied and lured’ another 18 teams to also join.

The competition committee set up a special winter training server that could be accessed by any player who attended the training.

After they logged in, they wouldn’t be limited to only teaming up with their teammates. Instead, they could match freely like in ranked games and try to climb up the ladder.

This sounded like a little bit of a joke. They were all there to break in their teams. What was the point in free matching?

However, in fact, this helped the weaker teams.

Running in a team was important, of course, but the gap between teams was too big, and strong teams found it uninteresting to play against weaker teams while weak teams had nothing to fight with. However, this ignored each player’s individual ability.

Weak teams couldn’t train their teams during winter training, so it was more useful for them to improve the personal strength of their players.

Think about it, being the great demon king’s opponent was a terrible thing, but what would it be like to be his teammate?

Not everyone had had the chance to experience it before. Once they’d experienced it, when they met again on the competition arena, wouldn’t the pressure they felt be much smaller?

This was also a good thing for the players’ psychological states.

What’s more, this free matching was just the start. Winter training was still more focused on team training.

Free matching would keep track of each player’s points.

The player with the highest points in the ranking that day could freely select a team for a training match the next day, and the selected team could not refuse.

This was another way in which to help the weaker teams who had added in new players with much difficulty, but found it difficult to find training matches to hone their team with.

Other than the free matching, teams could still freely arrange training matches between themselves, so this change made no difference to the strong teams.

Free matching was mainly a way to give the weak teams who wanted to fight hard a chance, and it was this advantage that the competition committee had used in order to bribe so many teams into participating.

36 teams. In fact, it was quite a lot.

The competition committee solved that, too. Based on a ladder draw, they split the teams into two groups.

For example, in Group A, the leader was the 2020 championship runner-up L&P, and the third place Pro.

The leader of Group B were the champions Y1 and fourth place EVE.

The training location for Group A was an island in Southeast Asia.

The training location for Group B was a famous holiday island in North America.

The two groups would train separately.

China’s competition zone had had it quite tough this time. All four teams who were attending had registered independently and hadn’t been specifically invited.

FTW and 3U were placed in Group A.

RR and TPT were in Group B.

Whether Group A was more ferocious, or Group B was more inhumane, would have to be determined in the domestic competition half a month later!

After listening to all this, Wei Xiao only felt that winter training was going to be too exciting! He didn’t even feel that bad about the two hours of solo that had flown away anymore.

Chen Feng added, “The hotel rooms arranged by the competition committee are all double rooms. We’ll organize the accommodation arrangements in advance.”

Wei Xiaoxiao stuck his hand up in the air!

Chen Feng: “Speak.”

Wei Xiao asked, “Can we choose our own roommates?”

Chen Feng: “Yes.”

Bai Cai secretly thought that this was going to be bad.

Sure enough… Wei Xiao had already spoken out loud, “Can I apply to share a room with the captain!”

Brother Cai: F*ck!

xiin: Lu Feng wants to express WX can trade those 2 hours of ‘solo’ for … another kind of ‘solo’~ if only he understood what that meant. (poor blue balls, they’ve still got a while to wait)
