Chapter 226: Where will Little Lunatic Wei's craziness land?



There was a pattern to the seating numbers, and the special guest seating also had its own unique identifier, so the host could tell with a glance.

The audience was stunned as soon as he said this. The first thought in their hearts was that there had to be something going on internally or some sort of fraud. Was it worth doing such a thing for the casual player competition…

The viewers in the live broadcast room were quicker to figure it out, “Holy shit, I remember that the special guest seating is for professional players!”

“Also, only the players who are participating in the opening game can sit there!”

“Through the process of elimination, those in the 5v5 game definitely aren’t there. So that leaves… Pro, 3U, and FTW?”

“Oh, and there’s also EVE!”

“Who’s so ‘lucky’?”

There were quotation marks around the word ‘lucky’. To the audience, with the casual player competition, casual players would be very happy about being able to go up on stage and see their idols. For professional players to go up though… they were faced with players who were either first in the world, or first in the world. It was a real arena of slaughter, and they would just be disgraced when they went up.

“I’ll feel distress for them ahead of time, but I hope it’s not my Little Brother Chun.”

“God Yi is still backstage, right? Who else came from 3U?”

“Wait a minute! There are two players from FTW!”

“Brother Cai and Quiet.”

“Let me take back what I said earlier. If it’s the little lunatic, then I don’t feel bad at all!”

“If it’s really Quiet, then I don’t even know who I should feel bad for this time!”

If it had been Li Chun or Bai Cai, they’d probably have burst out into tears on the spot if they’d gotten selected.

But if it was Wei Xiao…

The audience suspected that he wanted to go up and fight even in his dreams!

The fans did know their big darling very well. When Wei Xiao stood up and the camera panned over, there was a large stretch of ellipsis in the live broadcast studio, and then…

“It really is Little Lunatic Wei!”

“F*ck, things are even more interesting now!”

“Ahhhh, Q Cub, hold back a little for Mama and don’t smile so happily!”

“This brat is so excited that he really can’t hide it.”

“Love it, love it. This personality of his where he’s not afraid of the heavens or earth or life or death and is only afraid of things not being lively enough is too deadly!”

The host was stunned briefly as well, and when she saw Wei Xiao take two steps towards the stage, she even suspected that there was some sort of script being acted out.

Was this okay?

The director wasn’t trying to stir up trouble, right?

Of course, her expression had to remain stable no matter what she thought inside. The host smiled broadly as she greeted Wei Xiao. Wei Xiao wasn’t an ordinary casual player, so he was at ease in front of the camera. His eyes were curved with his smile, and his entire person radiated joy.

The domestic fans all understood him, and scrolling comments began to fill up the screen:

“Calm down a bit, little lunatic!”

“Don’t scare the global online audience!”

“Keep a low profile, stay low-key. Hide your strength and wait for the real competition!”

The global audience was really quite curious. “Quiet? FTW’s new jungler?”

“What a coincidence.”

“I heard that his skills aren’t bad?”

“He must have some ability in order to replace Close.”

“His skills are unknown, but he looks really cute.”

His black hair and eyes made his skin look clean and pure. The natural aegyo sal beneath his eyes made them seem even more beautiful, and his small tiger teeth were exposed at the corners of his smiling mouth. The lethality of this sunny youth could cross borders, race, age, and even gender.

After the interview, Wei Xiao’s gaze moved to Lu Feng.

Lu Feng’s thin lips curved up.

Wei Xiao blinked.

There was no need to mention what happened next. In any case, the live broadcast room was like a groundhog’s nest that had just been pierced through. There was no way to see any of the live broadcast content without blocking out the ‘AHHHHHH’ scrolling comments that were so dense that they’d started clumping together.

The host and audience weren’t the only ones surprised. The players on the stage hadn’t expected this, either.

Yuan Ze raised his eyebrows. If it weren’t for the fact that they were on stage, he would have opened his mouth to tease Wei Xiao.

Another surprised person was Yan Jiang.

Originally, God Yan’s body had been surrounded by an aura of boredom. Now, the black eyes that were usually dull and indifferent were showing obvious interest.

Wei Xiao was arranged to stand next to Kim Sung-hyun. Kim Sung-hyun turned his head, and the man who was a cold, proud flower for the camera had his eyes narrowed slightly. “Did Lulu do this for you?” FTW had enough sway to make something like this happen by going through the back door.

Wei Xiao: “Our FTW has luck that soars through the heavens. We don’t need to cheat.”

With Caicai’s little red hands, such things were pretty easy.

Kim Sung-hyun: “……” Like hell I’d believe you!

Looking at the line-up on the stage was enough to excite people even before they started!

The Team of Gods had gathered together as a group of former teammates. There were enough feelings of gratitude as well as feuds between them to write a story a million words long!

And there were current teammates who could cooperate with tacit understanding––

Using the present to fight the past or taking up the mantle of the past to beat up the present.

No matter which script it was, the audience loved them all!

The directors were also very surprised. There had been no shady dealings, but for such a thing to happen… fantastic!

Traffic soared, the investor daddies were laughing out loud, and the possibility of salary increases seemed closer than before!

Such a good opportunity couldn’t be missed. How could they make the effect of the upcoming battle more interesting? How could they leave the audience wanting more? And how could they stir up the flames of war? This would all start with the formation of groups!

At this point, the directors really wanted to pull some strings from behind the scene. Why make it a draw? Wouldn’t it be fun to split everyone up and stir up chaos?

Unfortunately, the rules were released a long time ago. If they broke them now and the fans decided to make an issue of it, then they’d be putting the cart before the horse.

Everyone could only pray that the team split would be lively, interesting, and more like an arena of slaughter…

Although it was a draw, there were also some hard rules. For example, there were six predetermined professional players, with three on each team, and two lucky draw players on either team. Professional players from the same team wouldn’t be grouped up together.

This referred to the professional players and didn’t include Wei Xiao, who was a lucky draw player.

When Wei Xiao saw that it was another lottery, he regretted that he hadn’t brought Brother Cai along with him.

With Caicai there, all his wishes would come true!

Yuan Ze and Gary didn’t have a choice. One went to Group A, and the other went to Group B. Their spots were fixed.

After the two of them stood apart, the rest of the professional players started drawing lots.

Lu Feng went first and drew Group A.

Wei Xiao now understood the rules and began to chant in his heart, “Brother Cai, bless me. Let me draw Group A.” He didn’t bother with anything else and first repeated this chant 18 times.

The next up was Yuan Ze. Wei Xiao paid attention to his draw, and the audience also stared at it carefully. The online audience also sent out scrolling comments like crazy, “Group A! Group A! If Yuan Ze, Lu Feng, and Yan Jiang are in the same team, then I can die in peace!”

“Group A, Group A, let Close and God Yan be on the same team. I want to see the Team of Gods’ immortal jungler-support combo!”

“This female believer is willing to use 20KG of fat in exchange for God Yan getting into Group A, ahhhh!”

The results came out. Captain Yan––Group B.

The scrolling comments: “…….”

This group of old CP fans and current cult fans were all abused to death.

Next up was Xie He and Kim Sung-hyun. These two were quick and direct, one going into Group A, and the other going to Group B.

The professional players were settled. Group A had Yuan Ze, Lu Feng, Xie He; Group B had Gary, Yan Jiang, Kim Sung-hyun.

Some people were happy about this line-up, while others were nervous.

The happy thing was that Yuan Ze, Lu Feng, and Xie He were on the same team. It was like a f*cking dream come true.

The upsetting thing was that Lu Feng wasn’t in the same team as Yan Jiang and Kim Sung-hyun. It was enough for people to wake up from their dreams in tears.

Finally, it was the lucky players’ turn to draw for their group.

Although Wei Xiao was the last one to come up onto the stage, he was the first one to go up and draw.

It wasn’t that he’d taken the initiative to go up and draw, but that the other three players had taken the initiative to step back, hoping that he would be the first to go.

Wei Xiao didn’t try to act polite with them and boldly walked over while nervously blessing Caicai numerous times in his heart.

Everyone’s gazes fell on him. They were all waiting to see which group Little Lunatic Q would fall into.

In fact, many people were waiting.

There was no doubt that Yuan Ze wanted Wei Xiao to join Group A.

Needless to say, Yan Jiang wanted Wei Xiao to go to Group B.

Coincidentally, the other two players from the Team of Gods had opposing ideas.

Xie He, who was in Group A, wanted Wei Xiao to go to Group B, because he wanted him as an opponent more than he wanted him as a teammate.

Kim Sung-hyun, who was in Group B, wanted Wei Xiao to go to Group A. It wasn’t that Proud Flower Kim wanted to battle with the jungler kings, but more because… because––everyone would understand once the game began!

Looking at the ‘wish value’, things were quite even. So, which group would Wei Xiao draw?

He glanced at the card as soon as he pulled it out, and then…

The host announced the results, “Congratulations, Quiet. You drew Group B.”

Group B!

It was Group B!

Not Group A!

The directors almost jumped up in joy. Wonderful! There were two pairs of players from the same team who would be fighting against each other. It was enough to triple their happiness.

The fans were also happy to see this. The great demon king and the little lunatic being on the same team was something they could see every day. It was wonderful to be able to see them go up against each other!

Wei Xiao shot Lu Feng an aggrieved look.

Lu Feng’s thin lips shifted slightly.

No one who could read lips could understand it, and even the Sherlock Holmes fans in the live broadcast studio couldn’t figure it out. Only Wei Xiao understood him.

––Be good.

Wei Xiao inhaled lightly, his face feeling a little hot.

Captain, that’s foul play!

Forget it. Although he couldn’t show off his love with the captain, it had been a long time since they’d played a solo game against each other. To be able to play such an exciting game was also an opportunity that could only be chanced upon and not requested!

Wei Xiao resurrected on the spot and even started to look forward to it.

Yuan Ze, his captain, and Xie He were on the other side.

It could be said that he was up against the current three most hardcore players of the Glory circle. It was a happy thing to be able to go all out and play a game against them!

The group draw ended.

Group A: Lu Feng, Yuan Ze, Xie He, and two lucky players.

Group B: Yan Jiang, Wei Xiao, Kim Sung-hyun, Gary, and the little fatty.

Judging from the line-up, Group B had a great advantage. Even without mentioning Yan Jiang’s ‘immortal’ buff, just the fact that it was four against three was enough of a challenge for Group A.

Saying that it was four against three didn’t mean that they were looking down on ordinary players. However, when faced with these top players from around the world, even national server players would become bronze level players, not to mention these ordinary players where the highest rank among them was only gold.

The commentators were also very excited. Although this was an entertainment game, being able to provide commentary for such a wonderful game was like having a pie drop down from the sky.

“Looking at the current situation, I think that the BP link will be very interesting.”

These words made sense. Just take a look at these players.

Group A had two peak level top-laners, Yuan Ze and Lu Feng.

Reasonably speaking, Lu Feng would play jungler. Of course, the audience would grow even more excited if he played jungler. It was exciting just thinking about having the world’s number one jungler king switch back to his old position!

Group B was even more interesting. Gary and Wei Xiao were both excellent jungler players this year, and they were both the core of their teams. Would the two of them compete for the jungler spot?

There really was something to this draw. The two top-laner daddies were in one team, and the two jungler kings were in another team. They hadn’t even started playing yet, but the internal fighting had already begun!

The audience were more open with their words, “Walking by, passing by, don’t miss out. Our Group A is full of solo players. Each of them is capable of fighting one against five, but when they’re put together…”

Well, they could only hope that the Team of Gods still remembered how to write the word ‘cooperation’.

“Group B has a good chance of winning. Wei Xiao can go on the top lane, while Old G is very stable as a jungler. There’s also the late stage daddy, Kim Sung-hyun, coupled with Captain Yan’s sense of rhythm. This… can almost be rounded up to the composition of a championship team!”

“Hurry up, hurry up, I want to watch Lulu play jungler!”

However, in Group A’s team chat.

Yuan Ze: “Close, take jungler.”

Close: “No.”

Yuan Ze: “???”

Close: “I’m a top-laner.”

Yuan Ze was surprised. “Holy shit, you can’t be asking me to play jungler.”

Close: “Mm.”

Yuan Ze: “……………………”

It was well known that God Yuan only played in the top lane. If he was asked to play jungler, then he could actually play like a noob.

But…

When he thought about how Close had wanted to play top-laner, but had switched to playing the jungler position for the team, Teacher Yuan felt a little soft-hearted.

It wasn’t only during the Team of Gods era. Close, who had become known for his thief right from the start, was thoroughly labelled as a jungler.

Especially after FTW had broken up. Little Close, who had held up the entire team on his own, could only play in the jungler position.

Close hadn’t been capricious or willful during FTW’s heyday.

He was even less able to act capriciously when standing among the empty ruins of FTW.

Until this year, until Wei Xiao appeared…

Only then did he switch to the position he wanted to play.

Damn it.

Yuan Ze gritted his teeth and broke his own rules. “I’ll use the death knight and play jungler.”

Lu Feng: “Oh.”

He locked in the shadow thief, but he didn’t take the jungler common skill. It was clear that he planned to use the shadow thief in the top lane.

The audience couldn’t know what Group A’s plan was without seeing the final line-up. They were still immersed in the happy news. “Oh, the great demon king’s shadow thief jungler. It’s been a long time!”

Group B’s team chat was very harmonious.

Wei Xiao: “Old G, jungler?” This name had stuck with him.

Old G: “You take it.”

Wei Xiao: “So kind?”

Gary: “Your captain must be playing jungler, and my captain must be in the top lane. We can battle separately.”

Wei Xiao took the shadow thief. “You’re tough.”

Gary locked in the death knight.

At this moment, at this time, who would’ve dared to think that Gary wasn’t going up against his captain, and Wei Xiao wasn’t going up against his own captain?

The author has something to say:

Fight, fight! Hahahahahaha
