After Wei Xiao died over ten times in a row, Lu Feng looked at him. “Do you want to eat watermelon?”

Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up. “Yes!”

Lu Feng pushed his chair back and got up.

Wei Xiao got up quickly as well. “I’ll go with you.”

Lu Feng: “Mm.”

Little Ning heard them and was just about to say, “I…”

Brother Cai elbowed him.

Little Ning: “Ouch!”

Brother Cai glared at him after the two of them left. “What are you doing?”

Little Ning felt very aggrieved. “I want to eat watermelon, too…”

Brother Cai: “There’s no more. There’s only one and it’s not even enough for Wei Little Xiao to eat.”

Little Ning: “Oh……”

Only after he continued playing his ranked games did the poor granny gray recall: Just one? The base was stocked up with several boxes of watermelons all year round.

As everyone knew, Brother Xiao relied on watermelon to survive. If there was no watermelon in the base, then Brother Xiao would kick up a fuss.

Brother Liu had to prepare this ‘food’ even when they went abroad. How could there only be one left???

Besides, Brother Cai had been playing ranked games the whole time. How would he know that there was only one?

Little Ning, who wanted to eat melon but wasn’t able to, didn’t realize that he’d narrowly passed by a big melon of gossip.

Wei Xiao really did go to eat watermelon. He also had a kiss with every bite.

Lu Feng dug out watermelon seeds for him with a fork.

Wei Xiao’s heart felt as sweet as honey, but his mouth insisted on saying, “I’ll do it myself.”

Lu Feng fed him a bite. “Is it sweet?”

Wei Xiao: “Super sweet!”

Lu Feng leaned in and kissed him. “It is very sweet.”

Wei Xiao’s heart was pounding. There were no more thoughts of the soul warlock in his head as it was all filled with his boyfriend.

“Don’t seduce me.” Wei Xiao kept himself sober. “I still want to solo.”

Lu Feng fed him another piece, “5v5 is a team game.”

This somewhat abrupt sentence left Wei Xiao stunned.

Lu Feng continued, “Don’t take it all on yourself.”

Wei Xiao bit down on the watermelon, and his mouth filled with sweetness. This refreshing taste resonated on the tip of his tongue, helping him find enlightenment.

Yeah…

The 5v5 game was a team game.

The soul warlock was a talent that was born for the team.

He……

Wei Xiao smiled and leaned over to kiss Lu Feng. “I see!”

The hint of a smile also appeared at the corner of Lu Feng’s lips. “So, don’t worry.”

Wei Xiao nodded hard. “Yeah!”

Lu Feng: “Losing the match is also okay. We don’t only have the battle of freedom.”

Wei Xiao exhaled softly and said solemnly, “Right!”

Wei Xiao’s thinking had been stuck at a dead end before.

The soul warlock system had been too effective, and it held too much potential.

Strength would inevitably draw one’s eye. What Wei Xiao was thinking about was how to lead his teammates to play to their fullest potential.

But he’d forgotten that it was a team game.

His teammates relied on him, and he should also rely on his teammates.

This so-called complementary potential wasn’t something that could be created by one person alone.

Wei Xiao could help Ning Zhehan brush out his thousand layers of clouds quicker.

Ning Zhehan could also help Wei Xiao brush out his thousand layers of clouds more easily.

Wei Xiao was only thinking about adding bonuses to Ning Zhehan, but he hadn’t thought about how Ning Zhehan could help him!

Only by pursuing mutual achievements could they be a team.

The true potential of the soul warlock lay in unity.

Not in how much one plus one could make.

It was about harmony as a whole.

Only in this way could they give full play to their absolute strength, without any upper limits!

Infinite glory.

Unlimited possibilities.

FTW’s future was promising!

Wei Xiao could finally see things clearly. Lu Feng had unraveled the knot that had weighed down on him all night.

He felt comfortable all over and wasn’t able to sit still again.

“Captain!”

“Hm?”

“It’s getting late. Why don’t we…”

Lu Feng put away the plate of watermelon. “Training.”

Wei Xiao smiled like a fox. “Solo in be…”

Lu Feng: “Shut up.”

There was no way to shut Wei Xiao up unless Lu Feng kissed him until he couldn’t speak.

There was no suspense about L&P’s win.

Pro played the next day, and there was no suspense there either.

EVE played on the third day. Xie He set the record for the fastest match in this year’s global competition. Their game ended in 22 minutes after their opponents suffered a bloody collapse in their mentality.

At this point, the sixteen into eight ended, and the list for the top eight teams was released.

Y1, FTW, L&P, Pro, EVE…

There wasn’t much suspense there either. All the teams from the Team of Gods had been promoted.

Next was entering the top four in the eight into four round.

FTW had been going through special closed door training for the past three days.

The fans were looking forward to the games every day. On one hand, they wanted to see the soul warlock go up onto the stage again, and on the other, they were afraid that Little Lunatic Wei would stumble when faced with the Team of Gods.

On one hand, they wanted FTW to happily rush into the top four, but on the other hand, they were afraid that they would lose in the top eight.

The top eight…

China had never been able to achieve such good results in three years.

But they were unreconciled!

They weren’t willing to let things just stop here!

They wanted to be better, they wanted to be even better.

As the champion team of the host competition zone, winning the world championship this year would be especially meaningful, and enough for them to go down in the history of Glory!

Becoming gods through one battle, that was what was waiting for FTW’s four little ones!

The entire China competition zone was looking forward to defeating the Team of Gods from the past and creating a new Team of Gods!

The competition committee continued acting inhumane. They were determined to leave people’s hearts hanging in their throats.

The opponents for the eight into four would be determined by on-site lottery.

How would they draw lots?

Have the eight teams go up and draw lots?

No…

According to their rules where the last year’s top four wouldn’t meet each other in the eight into four round, the top four would draw their own opponents directly!

Who FTW would go up against had already become the hottest topic over the whole internet.

Hot searches went up one after another, and everyone nervously stalked the live broadcast room.

Yes… how could such an important thing not be broadcasted live?

Representatives from the four teams would draw lots on the spot, the host would announce it on the spot, and the eight into four match chart would also be announced at the same time.

The other four teams from the top eight were also at the scene, waiting for the results.

Was FTW nervous?

Not necessarily.

This was a predestined result. They’d already been mentally prepared for several days, and even Little Ning was calm.

Getting Y1 would be fine.

Or L&P.

So what if it was EVE or Pro?

They had to run into one of them eventually or even both of them.

The top four, the semi-finals, the finals.

To hell with being afraid!

Just fight and be done with it!

The first team to draw was Y1. Yan Jiang didn’t go up. It was their jungler God Hai who went up onto the stage, greeted everyone, and accepted an interview.

The host simply asked them who they wanted to draw the most. Hai opened his mouth and replied, “It should be FTW.”

The camera cut to show FTW. Wei Xiao smiled and waved. He wasn’t cowering at all.

The live broadcast scrolling comments: “No need, no need, Y1, we don’t want to meet you!”

“Little Lunatic, you might not be afraid, but your mama is afraid. Save me! Don’t run into God Yan!”

“I don’t want us to run into God Kim, God Xie, or Old Bandit Yuan either, what should we do!”

“If I have to choose… f*ck, Laozi can’t choose!”

Hai pulled out a card. The host looked at it, then smiled slightly, “It seems that God Hai is going to be disappointed.” It wasn’t FTW.

Hai smiled, “We’re looking forward to the next opportunity.”

The next to go up and draw was EVE. Xie He didn’t go up, either. Their beautiful coach was the one to go up on stage.

The live broadcast studio descended into a revelry for straight men as soon as the blonde beauty appeared.

She had white skin, was beautiful and sexy, and was enough to make everyone envy EVE’s players.

The host also interviewed Coach Echo. “Who does EVE want to play against?”

Echo spoke in French, “Of course it’s FTW.”

FTW again!

Were the top four teams all focused on FTW?!

The camera swept over again, and Wei Xiao continued to wave in greeting. He even added a wink.

––Let alone panic, he was complacent and owning it!

However, EVE didn’t draw FTW.

The audience couldn’t relax, since Pro and L&P were up next.

None of them were easy opponents.

Especially since these two teams had history with FTW from back during the winter training camp.

One of them had a top-jungler linkage that they couldn’t beat.

The other had a marksman daddy that they couldn’t kill.

To some extent, both of them were psychological shadows on FTW.

If they had to choose one…

Half the fans compromised and said, “Pro, then… ying, what if God Ran makes a mistake and the Little Lunatic is able to bite Proud Flower Kim to death? Then FTW can win.”

The other half of the fans compromised in another direction, “L&P, then. After all, they’re so familiar. Maybe our top-jungler can win against them…”

It was a fifty-fifty chance. They could only keep worrying!

The third team to go up and draw was L&P.

This time, the results were basically determined. If they drew FTW, then their opponents would be L&P. if they didn’t, then it would be Pro.

Gary came up to represent L&P. Old G rubbed his hands.

The host asked him the same question. Gary’s style was a bit strange, and he opened his mouth to share his ‘beautiful’ Chinese. “I’d rather not pull FTW.”

The two teams before him had only wanted to draw FTW. Why did L&P not want to?

The host asked about this curiously.

Gary’s reasoning was very justifiable. “It would be bad if the little lunatic kicked us out after we beat them.”

Well… Everyone knew that L&P was living at the FTW base. Old G was quite self-aware.

So, Gary reached in with his big hand and pulled out a card.

The host was amused when she saw it.

Old G: “……”

The huge FTW team emblem came into view, and the whole audience laughed.

Alright then, the teams who wanted FTW didn’t get them, and those who didn’t want them got them!
