The Failed Knight of Full-Time Master

"Even you, my little brother, feel that you have no chance of winning?"

There was a hint of loss in Chu Yunxiu's tone.

After Chu Yunxiu didn't receive An Ning's reply for a long time, her expectant expression dimmed.

Before, no matter what Chu Yunxiu asked An Ning, An Ning would give Chu Yunxiu a very positive response.

But this time, he, who had always been actively trying to restore his peace, chose to remain silent.

This also means that even An Ning himself doesn't think the Thunder Team has much chance of winning.

When Chu Yunxiu asked this question, An Ning also knew that what Chu Yunxiu said before, that he didn't care that much about the championship of this competition, was all nonsense.

Chu Yunxiu is looking forward to this championship.

After leaving the Misty Rain Team, perhaps this is all Chu Yunxiu's obsession with the Glory Professional League has left.

But now An Ning couldn't even guarantee this to Chu Yunxiu.

Thinking of this, An Ning sighed helplessly deep in his heart.

For five whole years, An Ning hadn't brought Chu Yunxiu a championship. Looking at this, An Ning felt that he was a complete failure.

"Don't worry, I promise, I will help you... No, I will help you win a glory championship with my own hands!"

An Ning looked into Chu Yunxiu's eyes and spoke every word seriously.

When An Ning said this before, it was mostly half-joking, but this time An Ning was quite serious.

At worst, I can try my best again. If I gamble my entire career and still can't win a championship, then God is playing a joke on me.

Now An Ning estimates that he still has 5 to 6 years left in his entire career.

If An Ning couldn't help Chu Yunxiu win a glorious championship after such a long time.

That only means that An Ning's so-called top player is nothing but empty talk.

For An Ning now, the Xingxin team is indeed a bug-level existence.

Whether it's An Ning's operation, awareness, or even understanding of the map, when compared with the Xingxin team, there will always be someone who is better than An Ning in each individual aspect.

But apart from this category, these players were restrained by An Ning in every other aspect.

According to common sense, to deal with these unspecialized players of the Xingxin team, as long as they target their weaknesses, they can be divided and defeated, and they will not pose any great threat at all.

The problem is that the Xingxin team has Ye Xiu, a bug-level character, and this is the culprit that An Ning and Xiao Shiqin have been worrying about.

As the captain of the Xingxin team, Ye Xiu connected the group of players with different specialties in each team and turned the Xingxin team into a whole, leaving An Ning and Xiao Shiqin helpless.

In this regard, An Ning has come up with the best tactic available so far.

That means An Ning will personally hold back Ye Xiu, the core of the midfield.

Given Ye Xiu's command, it was naturally impossible for Ye Xiu's orders to be perfectly transmitted to every player of the Happy Team.

But the problem is that even so, the Xingxin team still put in a perfect performance.

Even without Ye Xiu present, the Happy Team was able to function, and it was functioning quite well.

The Thunder Team led by Xiao Shiqin alone is not enough to defeat Xingxin.

This is why An Ning chose to kill Ye Xiu first in these two rounds.

As long as he could get rid of Ye Xiu and let the Thunder Team be in a five-on-four situation, he might be able to use this fierce attack to interrupt the Xingxin Team's will to continue fighting.

But unfortunately, every time Ye Xiu and An Ning chose a battle location, it was a short distance away from the main battlefield.

I don’t know if this was intentional on Ye Xiu’s part or something else.

But in general, whether it is at the Thunder's home court or the Stars' home court.

In the end, the Thunder Team did not really defeat the Happy Team.

Because of this, the biggest suspense of the 10th Season of the Glory League was maintained until the extra game.

So now, facing Chu Yunxiu's question, An Ning was silent for no reason.

But An Ning soon dispelled the thought.

Because from the beginning until now, I have not been fighting for the Glory League championship, at least not for myself to win the Glory League championship.

Now, for An Ning, being able to fight together with Chu Yun and work hard for the championship together is already the best result.

But now Chu Yunxiu really wants to win the Glory League championship.

An Ning naturally does not want to disappoint Chu Yunxiu's expectations, so no matter what the final result of this season is, An Ning will not give up.

In fact, because An Ning did not respond to the question raised by Chu Yunxiu before, what An Ning said this time did not get a response from Chu Yunxiu.

"Trust me, I won't let you down."

After seeing that Chu Yunxiu did not reply to her, An Jing said it again.

An Ning's words also made Chu Yunxiu distracted for no reason.

Because five years ago, An Ning said the same thing to Chu Yunxiu.

That was the year An Ning made her debut.

Although An Ning's debut was not very exciting.

But after a whole season of hard work, the Yanyu Team was successful and made it into the playoffs with a good result of sixth place.

And on that day, An Ning said the same thing to Chu Yunxiu.

"As long as I can still play and you haven't retired, I promise that I will help you win the professional league championship."

Although An Ning was young and immature at that time, the words he said touched Chu Yunxiu's deepest heart.

It was because of An Ning's words that Chu Yunxiu chose to believe An Ning and let An Ning have the right to make decisions on almost all matters of the Yanyu Team.

This involved a long battle with the top management of Yanyu. This was probably the first time that a conflict occurred between the Yanyu team and Chu Yunxiu and An Ning.

Yunxiao's decentralization this time really let An Ning let go, allowing the Yanyu Team to undergo a substantial strengthening, but only the insiders of the Yanyu Team knew about this.

Although the top executives of Yanyu are aware of this, they only think that this is An Ning's responsibility.

As for the fans of the Yanyu Team, they only pay attention to the performance of the Yanyu Team in the game.

Naturally, they would not pay attention to the aspects of competition and training that many of them do not understand.

This has led to the fact that until now, there are still people in the Yanyu Team’s fan circle who believe that An Ning is the culprit who destroyed the unity of the Yanyu Team.

If there is no An Ning in the Misty Rain Team, the Misty Rain Team will only get better.

Maybe Yanyu has already won the Glory League championship.

There are even many Yanyu die-hard fans who call An Ning during the Yanyu team period "Emperor An". This name sounds like a compliment, but anyone who pays attention to the e-sports circle knows what it means to be crowned with the title of Emperor.

This is not a compliment at all, it is even a mockery.

An Ning has always felt that it is not easy for Chu Yunxiu to be the only female captain in the Glory Alliance.

But An Ning also neglected to assist Chu Yunxiu. An Ning, who was caught between the top management and the players of the Yanyu team, was in a very bad situation herself.

After hearing An Ning's words, Chu Yunxiu suddenly remembered these things.

I also know that what I said tonight was indeed a bit inappropriate.

If they fail to defeat Team Xingxin in this round, not only Chu Yunxiu, but also An Ning and Xiao Shiqin will not feel good.

And now I have to throw tantrums and ask An Ning to comfort me. I am such a failure as a sister.

"Sorry, little brother, I..."

Although Chu Yunxiu wanted to pretend to be serious and say that she just made a slip of the tongue.

But when she was halfway through her words, Chu Yunxiu found that her voice was trembling.

Chu Yunxiu can no longer pretend now.

Chu Yunxiu felt her heart was wailing as she was about to miss the championship again.

"I know. I know."

Seeing Chu Yunxiu like this, An Ning also comforted Chu Yunxiu.

The championship is within reach, and any professional player would understand Chu Yunxiu's current state.

It would be fine if I knew the result, but it's the feeling of being just a little bit away from winning the championship, but finding out that my biggest opponent in the championship is vaguely better than me in level.

The feeling of not being desperate but knowing that this battle will be very difficult cannot be summed up in just a few words.

To be honest, An Ning now really doesn’t know what words to use to comfort the other person.

But An Ning knew that it would be better for Chu Yunxiu to say nothing and listen to nothing right now, just rest peacefully, and then prepare everything that could be prepared in advance tomorrow. That would be enough.

"Have a good rest, Sister Yunxiu."

An Ning said this to Chu Yunxiu, and finally put his hands on Chu Yunxiu's shoulders to help Chu Yunxiu stabilize his body.

"Yes... yes... look at me, I... I said I was going to watch an episode of a TV series tonight."

Chu Yunxiu spoke this sentence discontinuously, but the emotions she wanted to express did not become chaotic.

Over time, Chu Yunxiu and An Ning have always been together.

An Ning naturally knew that Chu Yunxiu had no chance to watch TV series during this period.

Chu Yunxiu said this just to reassure An Ning.

"Yes, Sister Yunxiu, that's it. Go back and watch the last episode of the TV series carefully, and then go to bed early."

However, An Ning had no intention of exposing Chu Yunxiu, and continued speaking in accordance with what Chu Yunxiu said.

Chu Yunxiu is just trying to find a way to save face and doesn't want An Ning to worry about her at such an important moment.

Chu Yunxiu knew that the question she asked just now had more or less affected An Ning's mentality.

That's why I said that, trying to make An Ning feel better.

Although An Ning really wanted to continue comforting Chu Yunxiu as she was like this.

But he also knew that Chu Yunxiu was healing herself now, and if An Ning said anything it would only have the opposite effect.

So to stay calm, I can only choose to play dumb.

……

The weather in W City in July is already very hot.

Although it is almost midnight, the temperature is still very high.

There are still many people on the street. They are either workers who have worked overtime late at night and are just about to go home, or nearby residents who can't sleep in the hot weather and go downstairs for a walk.

Xiao Shiqin was wearing casual clothes and moving among the crowd. Although he did not disguise himself, under the cover of night and because the people around him did not bother to look at a stranger passing by, he was not recognized.

Although Xiao Shiqin's reason told him that considering that the extra game would be held one day later, Xiao Shiqin should rest early now.

But Xiao Shiqin still couldn't sleep, so he chose to put on a baseball cap and walked out of the Thunder Team's base in the middle of the night.

Xiao Shiqin has always had this habit, but he hasn't done it for a long time.

The last time Xiao Shiqin did this was the year when Xiao Shiqin just debuted in the Thunder Team.

Originally that year, Xiao Shiqin, who was just starting out, thought he could perform well in the Thunder Team.

The result was that they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, so Xiao Shiqin was very depressed.

That's why they would go out for a walk at that time, and Xiao Shiqin has become accustomed to this feeling.

It wasn't until Xiao Shiqin realized the limit of the Thunder Team that he stopped. So from then on, Xiao Shiqin focused on training new members of the Thunder Team and naturally did not continue this habit.

This season, the Thunder team directly entered the finals

But after two rounds, when the two teams were still tied, Xiao Shiqin suddenly felt this urge again.

This time, Xiao Shiqin ignored his reason for the first time and let himself be swayed by his emotions and came here.

Looking at the artificial fountain that was still open in the middle of the night, Xiao Shiqin was silent for a long time.

Six years ago, there was no such square here.

Now, this square has become one of the more popular attractions in this area.

Although this attraction is actually man-made.

Xiao Shiqin still couldn't figure out what his emotions were.

Was it disappointment or sadness, or happiness that the Thunder team was able to tie with Ye Xiu's all-star lineup? Or maybe a combination of all of the above.

Because of the artificial fountain, there are a lot of people here. Everyone probably hopes that the artificial fountain can reduce some of the summer heat on them.

After seeing the people enjoying the cool meals around him, Xiao Shiqin finally understood why he came here.

It turns out that I am also looking for this kind of cool feeling.

After understanding this, Xiao Shiqin also knew what his current emotion was, which was depression.

Because of his depression, Xiao Shiqin's body subconsciously pursued this feeling of sadness, hoping that the cool feeling brought by this artificial fountain could dispel the depression and heat in his heart.

In reality, fire can be easily extinguished by water, but the nameless fire from deep inside is difficult to be dispelled by this kind of water vapor. (End of this chapter)
