Full-time master: I have a spirit behind me.

UK, Sprout Club Lounge
"Tsk, I got tricked by Fire again this time..."

"If you ask me, it's really because our knight is not very good. He is a veteran after all, but he has such a bad grasp of timing."

"Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that Ben had a friend who was also going to come to Sprout. He seemed to have passed the test, but then he didn't come?"

A group of players who had just lost and were severely scolded by the captain gathered in the lounge and started complaining.

Ben was stunned for a moment when he was mentioned, and scratched his head in a naive manner: "You are talking about Bai. We were planning to join Sprout at the same time, but then Bai said he wanted to return to his hometown to form a team with netizens... We have less contact since then. I heard they are pretty good?"

"I haven't had much contact with China... After all, the competition area and system are different. How about we see how Ben's friend is doing now? If possible, we can recruit him back. I'm really fed up with that guy."

"Well, let's see..."

"It's called Bai Shu, right? Let me look for it... eh?" The player who was sitting in front of the computer and skillfully climbing over the firewall was suddenly stunned: "What's the name of your friend's team?"

"It seems to be Ember. What happened? Has it been eliminated?"

"No... no, are they a new team? That's probably just a coincidence of names. Chinese characters are complicated after all. I'll look for it again..."

"Okay, I'll go take the clothes to the laundry room first." Ben left the lounge with his laundry basket, and bought a few bottles of water when he came back.

When he returned to the lounge, the original computer was already surrounded by people.

"What's wrong?" Ben frowned.

"Ben is back."

The others looked at Ben with extremely strange eyes.

"Ben, your friend's playing style is so..." a teammate asked, "Unusual?"

"Unusual?" Ben was stunned for a moment: "Bai Shu's fighting style is very normal. He is very skilled in shield parrying and one-handed sword combos, just like a real knight..."

"You, come and take a look first?" A teammate made way for him, and Ben walked over in confusion, watching the video playing on it: "Yes, that's right, this is the Bai... Ember Team, the champion team of China last year? A new team is so powerful? It's worthy of being Bai... Uh..."

The more Ben looked at it, the more silent he became, and his originally confident expression turned into doubt.

"Ben, this... is this really your friend?"

"Well, that, it seems... No, it should be his twin brother or younger brother, yes, that must be it." Ben shook his head: "Besides, we are just roommates, we are not familiar with each other at all."

On the field, the regular season games of this round were being played.

……

"Um, Bai Shu moved away and retreated to the edge of the map, using the air wall to cover the weak spot behind him... But, this, this seems a little..." Pan Lin said awkwardly: "It doesn't look good."

Li Yibo looked at Pan Lin speechlessly. It's been a season and a half. Don't you know what Bai Shu's style is? Don't make a fuss about it, okay?

On the field, Gong Yu tilted his body and took a look at the situation on the opposite side. Wu Lang was rushing towards this side. Bai Shu thought for a moment, quickly retracted the knight sword in his right hand, controlled Gong Yu to stretch out his hand, and made an invitation gesture.

Gongyu: [Come here! ]

This guy!
Even Jiang Botao, who has a good temper, couldn't help but frown. What are you doing? Are you filming a movie?!

Gongyu: [Come on, let's do it. We have plenty of time anyway.]

……

Jiang Botao repeated to himself several times not to get angry, as being angry could harm one's body and if one got sick from being angry, no one could help. After standing still, Wu Lang began to attack the opposing Gong Yu with standing still.

The Magic Swordsman's standing output is actually quite rare...

Gong Yu, after hiding behind the shield and enduring several waves of attacks, rushed directly towards Wu Lang on the opposite side. After colliding with Wu Lang twice and causing damage, he slowly fell back again.

Gongyu: [I went over.]

……

Gongyu: [Hey, I'm back again! ]

……

Gongyu: [Hey, I went over there again! ]

……

Gongyu: [Hey, I'm back again! ]

……

Gong Yu: [Hey, I didn't go over there. I just shook you this time. Are you angry? Do you want to hit me? Come on, come on. It's such an excessive request, come and hit me! ]

……

"What kind of style is this of contestant Bai Shu?" Pan Lin murmured, "Movie lines style?"

"This reminds me of an anime I watched when I was a kid. There was a card called "The Dog Flower Who Loves to Get Beaten..."

"Well, this seems to be called Aimulu?" Pan Lin just said it and realized that his bonus for this month was gone again, but he couldn't help but complain.

Forget it, it's gone, I'll get used to it anyway...

"But, overall, Bai Shu's attack speed actually drops faster than Vice Captain Jiang's Wu Lang..." Pan Lin hesitated for a moment: "So what do you think Bai Shu is trying to achieve?"

"Perhaps, he just wants to get his mind clear?" Li Yibo sighed, "Player Bai Shu has completely changed my understanding of the Knight profession. I wonder how many players will cancel their Knight accounts after this incident."

"Yes, will there be?"

"I will."

This game was very long, and Bai Shu became the first player to be sent off due to the new rules after the game rules were revised and the full 20 minutes were played.

But Bai Shu was still in a very good mood: "What a thrilling battle! Um, that, why are you all... wait wait wait! Be gentle!"

A group of people, including Zhang Jiale who was just about to go on stage, rushed forward and pressed Bai Shu to the ground after hearing what he said: "You like being beaten, right?" "You like being beaten?"

"I've never heard of such a request!"

"Damn, Xiao Qiu, Captain, please save him..."

Li Wen glanced at Bai Shu lying on the ground with resentment: "Brother Bai Shu, you clearly said that you had thought of your own tactical ideas, and asked me to help you modify the silver weapon, but... you..."

"Hey, this... this is actually part of the strategy, right? Even if I use it in this game, it's probably not going to work. I can't do anything about it because it's naturally at a disadvantage against ranged professions. I might as well hide it and give them a surprise." Bai Shu said flatteringly, "I promise, next time, I won't do this again, okay?"

Li Wen sighed and shook his head.

On the court, Zhang Jiale took his seat and felt a headache when he saw Wu Lang on the opposite side who still had nearly 70% health left.

I did hide it, but this...has caused me a lot of trouble, you bastard.

There was not much suspense in the subsequent matches. Jiang Botao's Wu Lang left the field after reducing the Ammunition Expert's health by nearly 50%, and Zhou Zekai, who came on stage later, made the final harvest of Dameng Xianjue.

The score fluctuated and then stopped at three to two.

Team Samsara is leading.

"Next, it's up to the team competition." Jiang Botao let out a long sigh, looked at his teammates who were also looking at him, and gave them his final instructions seriously: "Although we don't know what kind of lineup the Ember Team will send out in the team competition, the pressure on the front battlefield will definitely be great, so, Sun Xiang, you must stay calm and don't let your emotions sway you."

Sun Xiang curled his lips: "You don't even need to tell me about this."

Jiang Botao smiled and said, "If Team Li uses the explosive tactic, leave it to me. If they use the extreme sprint and decapitation tactic, it will depend on you. You are the most important part of our tactics."

Important...important?
Sun Xiang's face turned red. He enjoyed the feeling of being needed. "If that's the case, then there's nothing I can do. I'm strong after all!"

"Yes, yes, please, Boss Sun Xiang!"

"That's right, Brother Sun Xiang!"

"Xixi is really responsible!"

Is there something wrong with the name? Sun Xiang was stunned for a moment, but soon immersed in the praise group organized by Jiang Botao. Well, forget it, it's not a very important matter.

Sun Xiang was completely controlled by Jiang Botao.

Jiang Botao has always been willing to give as much praise as he can for this kind of compliments that don't require any special effort.

The benefits far outweigh the cost, no...it's almost zero cost.

Is this considered PUA? No, I guess not.
"How do we play the team competition? Should we try our best to grab points, or should we follow the pre-determined tactics and give up the team competition as well?" Lu Liang scratched his head.

"If we can win the competition, we will definitely grab it, but in this situation... forget it." Li Wen shook his head: "It depends on the situation on the field. If the first wave of surprise attack can work, then speed up the whole process. If we are stopped... then we will just take things as they come.

Of course, the most important thing is to look at the opponent's map choice."

"Understood." The others nodded and then dispersed.

From a long-term perspective, the score of this game is not too important. Team Ember can still maintain its first place in the standings. Moreover, the nearly three-week offseason will allow everyone to quickly adjust their status and enter the knockout stage according to the previous schedule.

This is the most profitable option for Embers.

Even Sun Zheping, a hard-line war advocate, agrees with this.

After all... he is not needed in this game.

"Okay, after the break, we will have the last round of team competition! Players from both teams are ready! Let's first take a look at the personnel arrangements of the away team Ember!
Although this sentence should not come from the commentator, I sincerely hope that the lineup of the Ember Team does not have... Oh, okay, my prayers have been heard. The starting lineup of the Ember Team is Team Li's [Mechanic] Zhibai Shouhei, Zhang Jiale's Ammunition Expert Da Meng Xian Jue! Fang Rui's Thief Xin Ze Wei Zai! Lin Jingyan's Rogue Tai Sui! And Fang Shijing's Priest Chun Zui Zhi Kite!
The sixth player to fill in the position is Lu Liang's Chang Le Wo Jing! "

"This kid Pan Lin's words are becoming more and more unpleasant to the ear. He wanted to pick on me just now, right? He must have wanted to pick on me, right?" Bai Shu said unhappily.

"We are all adults now. You should think about the consequences before doing anything. Since you hit me like that, it's okay for them to give you a few words." Old Wei sneered, "You still need to practice, young man!"

[Didn't you just say you wouldn't teach me these nonsense? ] Su Muqiu said with contempt.

Sun Zheping looked at Lao Wei speechlessly, then looked at Bai Shu, and said nothing.

This child is useless, there is no need to waste words on him.

"As our home team, the Samsara team is extremely well-equipped! The most anticipated duo in the tournament! Team Zhou Zekai, the operator of [Gun King] Yiqiang Chuanyun, and Sun Xiang, the operator of [Fighting God] Yiye Zhiqiu! In the center is the priest Xiaoge Ziruo played by Fang Minghua! On the sides are the magic swordsman Wulang and Judo Yunshanluan who provide protection! Is there a more luxurious lineup in the entire league than this?
Well, maybe we can only see it in the All-Star Brawl next week." Pan Lin said cheerfully: "I naturally voted for our Gun King. I wonder who everyone voted for? The voting page is about to close, everyone should hurry up!"

The canvassing outside the venue did not affect the emotions of the players inside the venue. After debugging the equipment, the Ember team quietly waited for the other party to choose a map.

But, if nothing unexpected happens...

Li Wen looked at the constantly jumping central map logo, it should be...

[The grassland of wild wolves]!
really.

Li Wen took a deep breath and clicked confirm. The page changed to a loading state. Soon, ten streams of light appeared at the designated refresh point.

Da Meng Xian Jue: [It is indeed a grassland map, Captain, should we implement tactic number one...]

Since it is a map that has been prepared with a contingency plan, it is much easier to operate, and the outcome of this game may be uncertain.

Knowing White and Guarding Black: [It can be done. The cost is not too great and it is within the tolerance range. Brother Rui, Brother Lin, prepare to drive them away or lure them together.]

The thief in the heart is a disaster: [Understood.]

Tai Sui: [Understood.]

At the moment the communication ended, the countdown also came to an end. Brilliant red light spots scattered, the yellow restriction aperture collapsed, and members of both sides rushed directly towards their opponents.

Jiang Botao ensured that his vision was wide, and he did not rush to the opponent immediately. Fang Minghua did not move normally, but directly opened his sacred wings to provide Jiang Botao with vision from above: [The opponent's formation was scattered, the priest hid immediately, and the thief also disappeared from the field of vision. Team Li opened the mechanical rotor and double propulsion, I have to go down. ]

Is this all the information... It's a little too little. Jiang Botao hesitated for a moment, but soon sorted out his thoughts.

Wu Lang: [Sun Xiang is ready to retreat! Lao Lu is hiding and outflanking, Captain, go ahead, and leave the rest to us!] (End of this chapter)
