FCY Chapter 147

“We won!”

Wu Xinming excitedly high-fived the people on either side of him to celebrate. Winning this match meant they had successfully entered the top three. Top three – it had been a long, long time since they had reached this ranking.

“Don’t get excited. Focus. You’re facing CS next. Be careful of their sniper. His skill is much higher than Li Yu’s.”

Just as Wu Xinming was about to slap Luo Yan’s hand, Cen Xi stopped him and stood in front of Luo Yan, preventing Wu Xinming from prematurely celebrating again.

“One win at a time. CS’s sniper?” Wu Xinming paused, then suddenly realized what Cen Xi meant. He was confused as to why CS replaced Li Yu, and Ben, who had retired, was playing again, “Ben, ah, I’ve solo-killed him a few times. No worries. Let’s celebrate this round first.”

As Cen Xi expected, Wu Xinming still wanted to celebrate. However, on his right was now Cen Xi instead of Luo Yan. Facing Cen Xi, he didn’t dare to pop the champagne halfway, so he had to take a step back and express his joy to his older brother, hugging Wu Xinshen.

There’s still one more match, Cen Xi thought silently, watching Luo Yan.

There was another match immediately following. Half an hour felt like a ten-minute break between classes – not enough time to rest. SY had to go on stage to compete against CS.

During these thirty minutes, Cen Xi and Luo Yan once again found a deserted corner to talk privately.

Cen Xi held Luo Yan’s hand, massaging it again. After this match, Luo Yan’s hand injury might worsen. Cen Xi felt Luo Yan’s hand trembling in his own, and when he pressed certain spots, Luo Yan’s hand uncontrollably tried to break free.

“Does it hurt?”

“It doesn’t.”

Luo Yan had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his face was slightly pale, clearly from the pain.

But this time, Cen Xi chose not to expose him, only silently massaging Luo Yan’s hand, hoping it would help reduce the pain.

“Tell me if it hurts. Don’t endure it.”

“Okay.”

Good luck, Yan Bao.

…

“Welcome to the world of Territory Capture.”

“Players, the game begins!”

In the first two matches, SY and CS each won one game. This game was the deciding match. Winning meant directly securing a spot in the World Championship. Losing meant entering a competition for a World Championship qualifying spot.

This match was on the “Two Fortresses” map in “ZD”, Water Land. This land was like being in the ocean. The capture points were small islands in the ocean, a total of three islands.

People couldn’t stand in the ocean, so they had to rely on beast masters summoning ice beasts to freeze the water. Each ice beast could help their team freeze one piece of land, which would melt after five minutes.

Moreover, there were no high ground points in the ocean, so the sniper’s role on this map could be said to be nonexistent. They became a stiff assault player.

“This map… Wu Xinshen, you command.”

Usually on Water Land, SY would give the command position to the beast master.

“We’ll go to territory 1 first to capture it,” Wu Xinshen said, throwing an ice beast towards territory 1.

“I estimate they’ll capture territory 3,” Cen Xi mentioned. Wu Xinshen kept it in mind, forming a strategy.

“Xinming, Yanyan, I’ll put an ice beast on territory 2. You guys go there first. Cen Xi and I will capture territory.”

“Okay.”

When Luo Yan and Wu Xinming arrived at territory 2, they found that it had already been touched. Because the ice on the ground had their blue ice and the opponent’s red ice.

“Bro, there are people at territory 2.”

After Wu Xinming gave a report, he and Luo Yan cautiously walked towards the capture point. Water froze into ice, and the cold air emanating from the ice would obscure their vision. This was the second challenge of this map.

There were no obstacles, only endless water and the cold air released after it froze. No one knew if there was anyone in the cold air next to them, or how many people there were.

This tested the esports players’ hearing and reaction speed.
