Holidays always went by quickly, especially when they were short.

Two days’ time wasn’t enough for them to recover from the excitement of winning the championship, but Chen Feng had already dragged them back to the training room one by one in preparation of going over the game replays of the national finals.

Brother Cai had gone back to his hometown and returned with a lot of local specialties. He also had spicy pork jerky cooked by Father Cai.

When Wei Xiao came in, Little Ning was in the midst of exclaiming, “It’s so good! It’s fragrant and spicy, and the taste lingers between the lips and teeth!”

Bai Cai was delighted. He took out his cell phone and said, “God Ning, say more since you know what to say; my dad loves to hear such things.”

Little Ning immediately sat upright, just like a food anchor when they tasted food in an exaggerated manner and praised the spicy jerky as something that only existed in heaven; it was 100% delicious!

Ning Zhehan noticed Wei Xiao and immediately beckoned him over. “Brother Xiao, give it a try, this jerky is really tasty!”

Wei Xiao: “……” Of course he knew it was delicious. In the past, he could eat a whole catty of it on his own. However… he shouldn’t eat spicy food right now.

Bai Cai got it. “He doesn’t like eating it.”

Wei Xiao sighed; Sigh, it’s true that one couldn’t have the best of both worlds. When one has love, then something else has to be given up.

Ning Zhehan was surprised. “Brother Xiao doesn’t like to eat such delicious jerky?!”

Wei Xiao steeled himself and pushed forward. “It’s…”

Unexpectedly, Father Cai’s surprised voice came out from Bai Cai’s cell phone, “Little Xiao? Little Xiao loves to eat the jerky that I make. Last year when he came to my house, he ate a whole catty of it and took away two more. He even put in a preorder with me for the next pig!”

Bai Cai: “!”

Damn it, he’d forgotten to turn off the video call just now so that Ning Zhehan could blow out his rainbow farts!

He could only listen as Father Cai continued, “Little Ning, don’t listen to Baibai’s nonsense. He’s messing around and purposely not letting Little Xiao eat. Quickly give it to him, he loves to eat it the most.”

Wei Xiao was the most unable to stand up for himself against this kind of loving and amiable parent. He rushed over to say hello, the words from his mouth sweet as he said a whole basket of good things, directly making Old Bai’s Father’s face light up with happiness.

“Try it, quickly. Last time, you said it wasn’t spicy enough, so I put in more this time. I picked out these peppers myself, and it’s definitely spicy enough now!”

Wei Xiao: “……”

Brother Cai, who was a straight man but knew no less than a gay: “……”

Little Ning, who knew nothing. “It’s really enough! It’s super spicy!”

Wei Xiao was really unable to hold up against Old Bai’s Father’s expectant gaze. He picked up a piece of fiery red jerky, knowing with one glance that it was a piece of spicy jerky that would cause problems as long as it was eaten.

“Cough……”

Father Cai: “Try it!”

Wei Xiao’s heart leapt, and he was about to abandon himself.

“Enough.” Bai Cai snatched up the jerky and said to his father, “Wei Xiao’s stomach hasn’t been good these past two days, he can’t eat spicy stuff.”

Wei Xiao: “…………”

Bai Cai convinced his father with a few short sentences.

It even made Father Cai say quickly, “This child, why didn’t you say so if you aren’t feeling good? Don’t eat it, have Caicai keep it for you. You can slowly savor it after you’re better, this kind of thing keeps well!”

Wei Xiao was finally let off the hook and quickly went with the flow.

After hanging up the video call, Little Ning looked at Wei Xiao. “Brother Xiao, your stomach is uncomfortable?”

Wei Xiao wouldn’t lie to Uncle Cai, but he was very good at coaxing Little Ning. It only took a few short sentences for him to convince granny gray.

Bai Cai went to find a small bag and split out a portion of the jerky to put in the refrigerator.

He came back just in time to hear Wei Xiao’s nonsense, with Little Ning listening to it all in a daze.

Bai Cai secretly cursed to himself––

What was Wei Xiao doing earlier?! He couldn’t even come up with an excuse about his stomach feeling uncomfortable a while ago, but now, he was using one trick after another on Little Ning.

He might curse, but Bai Cai’s heart actually stung a little. Wei Xiao had such a glib tongue, but he was a person who just insisted on not lying to his silly father.

It was nominally a game replay review, but in fact, it was more about mobilizing the players’ mentality while suppressing their inflated little egos.

After going through a season spanning a full half a year and finally winning the silver dragon cup, let alone the four little ones, even the experienced coaching staff had somewhat relaxed their vigilance.

And the global competition was coming up.

The silver dragon cup was just an entry ticket. If they didn’t settle their hearts back down again, they would really be setting themselves up to mess up badly.

Although the core goal wasn’t a replay review, these three games really had value. As it progressed, the entire training room became engrossed in the review process.

FTW had played very well, but there was also a lot that was worth learning from TPT.

Watching these three games from the god’s perspective gave them a deeper feeling for the game.

Two days wasn’t enough time for them to forget many of the details of the game, but looking at it again now still made them feel surprised.

They marveled at Fu Li’s coordination, marveled at TPT’s integrity, and they were also surprised at each TPT player’s robust mindset.

Especially in the last game. It was clearly a critical moment of life and death, but they still maintained their high quality level of play. They weren’t in a hurry and weren’t impatient as they nibbled at FTW’s resources and suppressed their room for survival.

It would be hard to say who would have won or lost if it hadn’t been for Close’s group fight in the dragon pit.

Chen Feng emphasized this segment of the game, “I listened to the team chat. Everyone cooperated very well here.”

Lu Feng had told them all to gather, and the entire team had rallied together quickly. There hadn’t been even half a second of delay, and this had been the critical point.

If Ning Zhehan had hesitated for half a second, then he would’ve teleported over half a second late.

If Bai Cai had hesitated for half a second and failed to give their team the speed buff, his teammates wouldn’t have been able to rush over in time.

It was even more important that Wei Xiao and Yue Wenle hadn’t hesitated. They were the core DPS dealers, and if they’d arrived any later, then Lu Feng would’ve charged up only to die in vain.

Lu Feng had given them a very limited time frame. As long as any one of them had delayed just a little bit, their victory might have gone to TPT.

However, no one had delayed, and no one had hesitated.

With one single order, he’d called over thousands of troops.

The victory in the dragon pit had been won through sheer power on FTW’s side!

Chen Feng praised Ning Zhehan’s snatching of the dragon.

Little Ning was shy. “It was good luck.”

Chen Feng: “Luck is also a kind of strength.”

Little Ning scratched his hair and was foolishly happy.

After they finished going through the games, the door to the training room opened, and Brother Liu came in, looking excited.

Chen Feng: “What’s the matter?”

Xiang Liu: “Training match!”

Chen Feng frowned. “With who?”

Xiang Liu: “EVE. Their coach just called to make an appointment…” Damn it, EVE’s beautiful coach had given him a call; Brother Liu’s head was a little up in the clouds!

Wei Xiao’s eyes brightened. “Let’s do it!”

EVE was like a painkiller! This training match was worth its weight in gold!

Chen Feng nodded. “Time.”

Xiang Liu: “Six o’clock in the afternoon.”

Chen Feng: “Okay.”

It was already four o’clock in the afternoon. After having a meal and taking a break, it would be six.

Using EVE to warm up, not bad!

Things were different after winning the championship. Little Ning no longer cowered and was even a little eager for a fight. “God Xie, my idol.”

Which mid-laner didn’t treat him as their idol?

Wei Xiao quipped, “Idols are meant to get f*ck–…”

Bai Cai’s ears hurt. “Can you f*cking talk like a human being, or not.”

Wei Xiao’s expression was innocent. “How am I not talking like a human being?”

Bai Cai: “You said…”

Wei Xiao: “Idol are meant to get f*cked up, what’s the problem with that?”

Bai Cai: “……………”

There was really a difference between getting f*cked and getting f*cked up, but…

Wei Xiao smiled like a fox. “Old Bai, you’re so dirty, what’s the matter with you? Hurry up and find a bottle of disinfectant to clean up your brain.”

Brother Cai: “…………” He was going to be angered to death by this dog sooner or later!

Chen Feng was very satisfied with this sudden training match. Using EVE to cool down their mental state before the competition worked out just right.

At dinner, Wei Xiao asked Lu Feng secretly, “Captain, were you the one who made an appointment with God Xie?”

Lu Feng shook his head.

Wei Xiao wondered about it. “Then why did God Xie suddenly want to play a training match with us?”

Without waiting for Lu Feng to answer, Wei Xiao had already found an answer to the question. “Could it be because he was shocked by our performance in the finals?”

Lu Feng: “……”

There was no need to provide accompaniment; Wei Xiao was very skilled at solo cross-talk. “Sigh, this is what it’s like to be strong, they all want to play with us…”

Lu Feng fed him a mouthful of congee. “Eat.”

Wei Xiao ate his congee delightedly.

Why did EVE want to have a training match with FTW?

The finals was one reason for it, but the other reason was selfishness on Xie He’s part.

As for what that selfishness was…

They’d know after they finished playing.

Both sides were very punctual. They opened up the game room ten minutes in advance, then started on time at six.

There wasn’t much to say about the training match, they just had to fight and be done with it.

Chen Feng gave them a relatively conservative line-up to start with during BP, and EVE didn’t show any ambiguity at all as they locked in the immortal warlock with their first position. It was clear that they wanted to teach them a lesson.

Wei Xiao grew excited. “Laozi’s going to blow him up!”

Little Ning was also arrogant. “Hammer him!”

Chen Feng: “Ha, ha.”

Ning Zhehan was given a bouncing and jumping fire mage.

Ning Zhehan: “…………” How was he supposed to fight with this? The immortal warlock could fly and attack the fire mage until it went into seclusion.

Chen Feng splashed cold water on him directly. “If I got you the spirit mage, you’d be beaten into seclusion even more.”

At the end of the day, they were still old teammates. Chen Feng had more than just a little bit of understanding regarding Xie He.

When this fellow took out the immortal warlock, then it meant that he was going to go up against the heavens and the earth. In a conventional game, the spirit mage could hold up against the immortal warlock, but Chen Feng didn’t give Ning Zhehan the spirit mage.

It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in Ning Zhehan, but because it was unnecessary.

Even if it was a proper game, it was always 100 times better to avoid Xie He like the wind when he took the immortal warlock.

There were differences in both strength and experience. Why gamble on luck?

Besides, Ning Zhehan’s spirit mage might not be able to beat Xie He, but it could beat other mid-laners.

If it was taken out for the training match, it wouldn’t be worth it if he was beaten into seclusion by Xie He and left with a psychological shadow regarding the spirit mage, affecting his performance in subsequent matches.

These things that Chen Feng thought of might seem like he was making a mountain out of a molehill to those who hadn’t yet experienced it before.

How could it be so exaggerated?

It was a competitive game, and they were all professional players. How could the difference be so big?

In fact, the gap was bigger than what could be seen.

The cruelty of the competition lay in the fact that ‘unfairness’ always existed in fairness.

Talent, luck, confidence.

The gaps between different people would be infinitely magnified when they were in the same field.

Until they were incredibly large.
