Chapter 38: Hello everyone, I am FTW.Quiet



Host: “……”

Translate? To hell with translating, hey! This segment could be completely cut out!

The host showed excellent professional qualities as she began interviewing Yuan Ze.

Yuan Ze smiled slightly, his manner polite.

Never mind what he was like in private. On the surface, God Yuan was elegant, and extremely gentlemanly, but there was a reason fans from all over the world called him a scum man.

What was a scum man?

Handsome, good at holding conversations, looked very polite, but was in fact a beast dressed in human clothing.

For better or worse, God Yuan’s compatibility with this term was as high as 99%.

The host grew brave under his slight smile and even dared to suggest, “Marshal seems to have a good relationship with God Kim.”

Yuan Ze’s smile became even more charming, “Yes, we often have training matches together.”

The host felt that this was someone who was easy to talk to and tried to further interview him, “L&P and Pro had a wonderful match in the global finals last year. I wonder if the two sides have developed any new tactics during the off-season?”

Yuan Ze: “We have.”

The host quipped, “It must be inconvenient to disclose them. How about we…”

Yuan Ze continued directly, “There’s nothing inconvenient about it. I’ll share it with everyone.”

Host: “……”

She had a hunch that things weren’t good.

Yuan Ze maintained his perfect gentleman tone while speaking derisive words, “When facing Proud Flower Kim, just screwing him over will do the job.”

Host: “…………”

This old lady just knew that she shouldn’t have learned Chinese!

Were these words that she could f*cking translate?!

As soon as the words ‘Proud Flower Kim’ came out, Kim Sung-hyun instantly gave off a murderous aura!

There were many players off-stage who wanted to laugh, but didn’t dare to.

This demeaning title ‘Proud Flower Kim’ was the eternal pain that lingered at the bottom of God Kim’s heart.

As an ADC who played hugely squishy heroes, Kim Sung-hyun required the full protection of his team in order to play out tons of DPS and reverse the game situation.

However, in FTW that year, all his teammates were bug-like existences who didn’t need to wait for their marksman to develop in the late game before already winning the game.

Kim Sung-hyun was unable to play out his full strength and was extremely angry.

Yuan Ze felt sorry for him and promised to help him think of a solution.

So, during the trash talk session before the game, God Yuan spoke these words very reasonably, “Everyone, please don’t take pity on our team’s proud flower and ravage him to your heart’s content.”

“Who is this proud flower? Our ADC, hey.”

“Yes, the one who looks the most like a flower.”

“Close isn’t the proud flower. Don’t mess with him, you might end up having the tables turned on you.”

How that game had gone was already long forgotten, but this trash talk was something that everyone remembered.

Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun could provoke each other to such an extent for a performance match; this was enough to show how strong the fiery scent of gunpowder was between them.

The scent of gunpowder was no big deal. Matches were more fun this way.

Everyone’s mood was high, and it was as though this wasn’t just a performance game, but rather the scene of the global finals!

BP went quickly. The two teams were too familiar with each other and weren’t polite as they put their opponents’ ace talents in the ban position, preventing them from dominating the entire court.

In fact, Kim Sung-hyun and Yuan Ze hadn’t been targeted much.

The ace players in a strong team weren’t afraid of being targeted. There were six positions in total, and even if the ban positions were all filled up with the talents they were strong at, the ones that were left would still be enough for them to play well with.

What’s more, their teammates weren’t easy targets, either.

Take Gary as an example. Calling him Crazy Old G wasn’t an exaggeration. If all the ban positions were used on Yuan Ze, then his thief could still slaughter their opponents until they went into seclusion.

This was the difference between Close versus Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun.

The latter two had teammates, while the former worked alone even in team games.

Perhaps it was because they’d spoken too much trash talk before the start of the game. Two minutes after the match began, a fight broke out in the mid-lane!

Gary had taken the berserker thief, and his rhythm in the early stage was so fast that he forced Pro to withdraw behind the tower and lose two soldiers.

Pro’s mid-lane was pressured, but their jungler wasn’t anxious, taking advantage of the berserker thief’s arrogance to sneak into L&P’s jungle area and steal two jungle monsters.

This area was close to the top-lane, and Yuan Ze’s sense of smell was extremely keen. He flew over to explore the grassy area and managed to hit Pro’s jungler.

“Awesome!” Wei Xiao exclaimed quietly.

Although he disliked Yuan Ze, he had to respect Yuan Ze’s strength, especially after they’d fought in the training match before. Wei Xiao could still remember that strong, oppressive force.

First Blood!

Yuan Ze killed Pro’s jungler on his own and took down first blood!

Chen Feng sneered from his seat behind them, “He even dared to go for Marshal’s area. Pro’s jungler is still too tender.”

Tang Chen laughed, “No rush, Pro has always been better in the later stages.”

Indeed. A team with a marksman as the core was bound to be weaker in the early stage. Pro’s jungler was a famous toolman who didn’t rob resources, didn’t mess up the team’s rhythm, and was extremely stable. Although the top-laner couldn’t pressure Yuan Ze, it still wasn’t to the stage where Yuan Ze could do a tower dive, and he could still pull him back slightly.

The middle lane suffered a bit of a loss, but their bottom lane was in a good situation.

Kim Sung-hyun’s ADC was by no means the type of marksman who relied solely on the late stage.

His experience in FTW had made him particularly focused in the early stages.

Were they kidding?

If he wasn’t able to start killing in the early stages, his beastly teammates simply wouldn’t let him have a later stage, okay?!

So, Kim Sung-hyun, along with his own support, hammered the L&P marksman into a little shrimp.

The commentator praised Kim Sung-hyun exaggeratedly, making listening to Chen Feng the better option, “If Old G doesn’t go help, L&P will lose a tower.”

It was as he said. One minute later, the first tower in L&P’s bottom lane exploded, and there was suddenly a gap in the canyon.

Wei Xiao stared at the big screen and said, “Yuan Ze is switching lanes!”

Chen Feng: “Changing lanes at this time is irrational.”

Their tower had already been lost, so Yuan Ze going over now would be useless. It was better to continue developing in the top lane.

Wei Xiao shook his head, “But he can restrain Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran.”

Chen Feng was stunned.

Lu Feng glanced at Wei Xiao out of the corner of his eye.

The situation in the canyon changed abruptly.

Yuan Ze went to the bottom lane from the top lane and didn’t retreat even after he encountered Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran together. In the situation where he didn’t have the protection of a tower, he attacked both of them himself!

The whole scene exploded, “Holy shit! Is Marshal this crazy?!”

In the eyes of countless professional players, this action was tantamount to death.

Were they kidding? Kim Sung-hyun, who was protected behind the paladin, could kill him with three arrows.

Wei Xiao didn’t blink, “Kim Sung-hyun is retreating.”

His voice had just fallen when Yuan Ze had already finished using a set of skills and sent Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran back to their tower.

If Kim Sung-hyun came out at this time, Yuan Ze, who had just used up his skills, could easily be taken down, but Kim Sung-hyun didn’t come out…

Yuan Ze’s actions had been too calculating.

His one against two attack was too brazen, and he acted as though he had thousands of troops behind him, forcing Kim Sung-hyun to retreat.

Kim Sung-hyun indeed had some reservations. He couldn’t find Old G on the map, and Yuan Ze was acting so aggressive. According to L&P’s style, there would be a Gary hidden somewhere behind him. As long as Kim Sung-hyun moved forward slightly, he would be a dead Kim.

However… there was nobody behind Yuan Ze. Gary took the mid-laner with him and went to the top lane at the same time, going three against one to kill Pro’s top-laner and protecting the top lane tower at the same time!

This operation ushered in a wave of cheers across the whole scene, “Beautiful!”

The audience had an omniscient view and could see more, but even if they could see it, they wouldn’t have had the confidence to do it.

Yuan Ze’s determination and bravery, and the perfect cooperation in L&P created a situation in which it wouldn’t be Pro’s top-laner who toppled but Yuan Ze instead if there had been even the slightest mistake!

A small difference was like a distance of a thousand miles.

In a close fight between equals, even a millisecond mattered!

It was a performance match, but both teams played unreservedly.

Kim Sung-hyun had been tricked once by Yuan Ze, but he quickly followed up with a counterattack and took down L&P’s mid-laner while taking down a mid-lane tower and returning back to the city!

For a full forty minutes, Wei Xiao watched so intently he forgot to blink.

The youth who normally had a smile hanging from the corner of his lips was fully absorbed in the duel on the screen.

This was a war without gunpowder or smoke, a duel fought without bloodshed, but this insubstantial canyon was loaded with everyone’s powerful fighting spirit.

Each blade and each shot.

Each stab and arrow.

The brilliance and splendor made one’s blood boil with excitement!

A real team competition involved trusting one’s back to others, an exchange of trust. It was arriving at a powerful tacit understanding within the team that didn’t require speaking!

Teammates, team.

Sacrifice, revenge.

This was the unique charm of this ten person battlefield!

The fight was still in full swing forty minutes later.

Both sides had equal strength, and the two sides kept ending up in a deadlock.

However, the final battle broke out in the dragon pit.

This back and forth battle that lasted around five minutes made the scalps of everyone present go numb.

Everyone had already developed to the extreme, and every hero had reached their pinnacle state.

Regardless of whether it was L&P or Pro, they had all put into play everything they could think of, and they had done it all!

Without reservation, a desperate fight to the end, all for the sake of one word––

Victory!

Both sides’ supports fell.

The mid-laners fell.

The junglers fell.

Pro’s top-laner was killed off by Yuan Ze, and L&P’s bottom laner was shot down by Kim Sung-hyun.

In the empty canyon, only Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun were left.

In this kind of situation… reasonably speaking, Kim Sung-hyun was as good as dead.

However, Yuan Ze only had one tenth of his health bar left, while Kim Sung-hyun still had a piece of resurrection armor.

Without even a millisecond of delay, Yuan Ze pushed to the limit and pierced Kim Sung-hyun, but Kim Sung-hyun shot Yuan Ze with an arrow and then stood up again after resurrecting.

In the grand canyon, only Kim Sung-hyun was left, but…

Victory!

L&P won!

L&P, who were all dead, had actually won the game.

Yuan Ze took off his headphones and said modestly, “An unequal contest brings no honor to the victor.”

At the very end, it had been L&P’s super soldiers who had pushed all the way to Pro’s resurrection crystal!

Glory was a MOBA game. Killing was secondary; the prerequisite for victory was to take down the enemy’s crystal.

Yuan Ze’s ruthlessness lay in the fact that he’d created the conditions for his own line of soldiers to advance even before starting the last wave of team fights.

So, even if they lost the group fight, even if Kim Sung-hyun remained standing at the end, it would be L&P who won the game!

At this moment.

Everyone at the scene had these words in their hearts––

Old dog, your heart is really dirty!

Losing was losing. Pro didn’t get angry.

It was true that their skills had been inferior. Their top-laner hadn’t thought of controlling the soldiers ahead of time.

This wasn’t L&P’s luck. They had won through the details of the game.

Both sides shook hands, and Kim Sung-hyun stared at Yuan Ze.

Yuan Ze smiled.

Kim Sung-hyun: “You can waive the live broadcast, but don’t forget the shit. I’ll be waiting.”

Yuan Ze: “……………………”

These words were caught by the microphone, and everyone who understood them burst out into laughter.

Oh, indeed. God Kim had only said to forget about the live broadcast, but he never said there would be no eating shit.

Little Ning laughed until his stomach hurt, “Our God Kim is a good and proper cold and aloof flower, but why does every other sentence…”

This was also one of Kim Sung-hyun’s characteristics. He was very polite when he spoke in Korean, but he couldn’t do without ‘shit’ and ‘pee’ once he started speaking in Chinese.

Chen Feng spoke darkly, “Do you know who taught Kim Sung-hyun Chinese?”

Little Ning: “……”

Chen Feng: “Indeed, it was Yuan Ze. This harm is all self-inflicted!”

This 5v5 performance match could be described as brilliant.

Everyone was all impassioned from watching, and they expressed that one match was not enough. They wanted to have another one!

The competition committee had already made preparations. After the host came up onto the stage, she stated, “Next up is the doubles performance match.”

Everyone booed. It was obvious that this wasn’t exciting enough.

The host gave a mysterious smile and added, “The doubles match participants will be picked by the winner from the 5v5 game.”

One sentence was enough to mobilize everyone’s mood. What did this mean?

There was no need to explain too much. Yuan Ze returned to the stage, and the host asked him, “God Yuan who would you like to choose as a teammate for the doubles match?”

Indeed. In the upcoming doubles match, the L&P who’d won the 5v5 game would be the challenger, and the candidate they’d pushed out was the MVP Yuan Ze.

He could choose one of his teammates to form a team or choose a teammate from another team.

At this time, the entire scene was boiling once again.

The competition committee really knew how to set things up!

Making a performance match this tricky was the way to make things exciting!

Yuan Ze held the microphone and scanned the whole room before slowly pronouncing one name––

“Quiet.”

The entire scene was in an uproar!

Who was this?

Who was Quiet?

Everyone had thoughts about who Yuan Ze would choose. For example, Close. For example, Kim Sung-hyun, or maybe even his own Old G, but… who was Quiet?

Don’t mention how everyone was confused. The people from FTW were also stupefied.

Lu Feng looked at Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao was not panicked or anxious. He stood up, then reached the stage with a few steps.

The youth was tall, with long legs. Wearing the black FTW team uniform, his pale face looked quiet and elegant beneath the dazzling lights. However, his eyes were completely divorced from the word ‘quiet’, and they were full of wanton flamboyance.

“Hello everyone, I am FTW.Quiet.”

A newcomer who showed no stage fright and even seemed eager for the chance to fight.

Even those who didn’t know who he was couldn’t help but take a fresh look at him at this moment.

Those with sharp eyes could already see––

“Isn’t this the kid Marshal invited when he came in.”

“Ah, it’s FTW’s top-laner!”

“Marshal is serious? Does he want to be teammates with him that much?”

Wei Xiao finished his self-introduction and looked at Yuan Ze. He spoke in English, “God Yuan, aren’t you afraid that I’ll screw you over?”

Those who knew what had taken place between the two previously were instantly very excited!

This kid, there was something to him!

Yuan Ze smiled like a fox, “Will you screw me over?”

“No.” Wei Xiao’s voice wasn’t light, but it wasn’t heavy either. “I never screw my teammates over, even when my teammates aren’t human.”
