Ch50 - Want to die?

Edited by kat

Practice time always went by really quickly.

When Wen Xi finally remembered that he was playing a training match, the first circle had already shrunk, and the scope of the second circle had already been announced.

And their CLM had zero kills in total!

Wen Xi was a little embarrassed and asked, “Uh, let’s play the competition first ba?”

“No hurry,” Mo Chen blurted out.

Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei were still lying upstairs. When they heard those two words, they even had the thought of leaving the team.

However, Mo Chen’s next sentence was, “The enemy is more anxious than we are. If we face the wrath of the heavens in the third circle, then we can withdraw at any time, but it’s not so easy for them to withdraw. They will have to pass through our floor first.”

Yi? That seemed to make sense?

Although it was the other party who had attacked them first, it was now them who were keeping the other party blocked upstairs.

If the other party wanted to leave this building, they would have to kill them first, stepping across their bodies to escape.

“But since you are tired of practicing, then we should clear out the people upstairs first,” Mo Chen said, but he didn’t go upstairs. Instead, he headed out of the building they were currently in.

Wen Xi was stunned for a moment. Although he didn’t know what Mo Chen wanted to do, he almost instinctively followed him out.

When Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei heard Mo Chen’s words just now, they thought the two of them were going to come up and almost cried with joy!

In the end, before their tears could even well up, they found that not only had they not come up, but they had even walked out?!

Ling Shuyi asked, “Captain?”

“Don’t move. Listen to my orders,” Mo Chen said lightly. Ling Shuyi and the others were very familiar with this tone.

Ling Shuyi, who was just about to get up, crouched down again and didn’t move.

“Wen Xi, aim at the fifth floor,” Mo Chen said as he took aim at the window on the fifth floor with the scope of his sniper rifle. Of the row of windows, one of them was broken. Obviously, the enemy had just aimed at them from that window.

“Found them,” Wen Xi said.

“Change to the bow.” When Mo Chen’s tone became cold, it showed that he was serious. “Kitty, Chen Wei, pay attention to the first door upstairs on the left. Don’t move right now!”

Ling Shuyi had nearly rushed up upon hearing Mo Chen’s commands, but thankfully didn’t due to Mo Chen quickly adding his last words.

Mo Chen continued, “Get your frag grenades ready and wait a moment for my command, before opening the door and directly throwing them in.”

Ling Shuyi said, “Okay.”

Chen Wei also said, “OK.”

Mo Chen ordered, “Wen Xi, shoot them.”

Hearing this, Wen Xi didn’t even think about it. At the first possible moment, he shot an arrow through the window.

He couldn’t see anyone in the room from his perspective, but he guessed that if the enemy was still in the room and wasn’t moving, then they would all be clustered by the door. Therefore, he deliberately aimed his arrow in the direction of the door.

[System] You hit NUM-002 with your bow.

There really were people there!

Mo Chen called out, “Kitty, Chen Wei, go!”

The four members of the NUM team were all lying in wait for an ambush from the door when such an arrow was suddenly shot in. Although it didn’t score a headshot, it still scared them half to death.

Almost instinctively, they hid in the dead spot in the corner of the room.

One of them picked up a sniper rifle to fight back against Wen Xi, but he only showed half his head before he was shot by Mo Chen!

[System] CLM-Mac hit NUM-001 with a headshot with a sniper rifle.

“Shit! They didn’t come up! They’re outside!” said the person who had been headshotted.

“Let’s get out!” another person said.

As soon as they said that, the door suddenly opened from the outside and two grenades were thrown in.

“Bang bang!” Four kill prompts appeared neatly in the upper right corner of the game screen for all the players.

[CLM-Cat killed NUM-002 with a frag grenade!]

[CLM-Cat killed NUM-003 with a frag grenade!]

[CLM-Windy killed NUM-004 with a frag grenade!]

[CLM-Windy killed NUM-001 with shrapnel from a frag grenade!]

Ling Shuyi exclaimed, “Holy shit! It’s a little bit cool?”

Chen Wei agreed, “So cool I’m about to explode, holy shit!”

Listening to the excited voices of his teammates, Mo Chen couldn’t help laughing. “See ba, we don’t need to immediately become serious.”

Wen Xi laughed and let out an “en.”

Chen Xiao, who was watching the battle behind the four of them, rolled his eyes and resisted the impulse to slap Mo Chen’s head—If they had acted like this earlier, wouldn’t things have been finished a long time ago?!

In fact, Mo Chen had originally rushed up quickly in the beginning because he knew that he could destroy the entire NUM team by himself, and thought that the sooner he killed them off, the sooner he could kill other people.

But later, after seeing Wen Xi’s failure in trying to climb the stairs, he suddenly remembered that this was a training match rather than a formal one. He then thought that he should leave more training opportunities to his teammates rather than for himself.

What they needed to improve the most wasn’t his or Wen Xi’s strength, but the strength of Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei, as well as their entire team’s cohesion and tacit understanding.

After Liu Weizhe had spoken to him, Mo Chen had already been consciously adjusting his attitude, but occasionally he would forget this matter, and rush off to the front on his own.

Fortunately, there was Wen Xi.

When the four people got back to the car, Mo Chen spoke as he was driving to the forest area, “I’m tired, so when we get out of the car, you guys can go fight, and I’ll just be in charge of covering you.”

Ling Shuyi & Chen Wei: ???

Tired?!

He got tired from teaching Wen Xi how to climb a staircase ba!

Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei completely didn’t know what to say, but Wen Xi didn’t think anything of it and just said, “Okay.”

The corners of Mo Chen’s lips couldn’t help rising—Wen Xi really would never question any of his orders.

Thus, after entering the forest area it was basically Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei charging in the front, while Mo Chen and Wen Xi were in the back to help them kill off people who threatened them.

He said he was just covering them, but in the end they still took all the kills.

After all, it was more difficult for Mo Chen and Wen Xi to shoot off course or completely miss than for them to get a headshot with every shot.

In the end, CLM were still the last survivors of the match, and their whole team was even alive.

However, just based on total kills, they didn’t even rank in the top five.

“We jumped too early,” Mo Chen concluded, “Next match we’ll wait until people start jumping before we jump.”

If you jump early, you would land early. Although you could grasp the opportunity to kill the enemy, once a situation like from just now happened, it became unfavorable to gain kill points.

However, in the match from just now, the reason they hadn’t taken many kills wasn’t because they jumped too early, okay!

Coach Chen Xiao couldn’t stand it anymore and wrenched off Mo Chen’s earphones, saying, “It’s not a matter of where you jumped. You wasted too much time just now.”

“Well.” Mo Chen held his earphones and looked up at Chen Xiao, and the corner of his lip suddenly drew up. “Everything I did was necessary.”

Obviously, he felt no remorse.

Chen Xiao saw him suddenly laugh and was stunned. He hadn’t reacted yet before Mo Chen already put his headphones back on again. “I have the final say in where we jump in squad matches. We’ll try out jumping early and jumping late. There will be many unforeseen incidents when we participate in the official competition. It’s rare to have such an opportunity to preview things, so let’s learn from this experience.”

What he said was quite reasonable. Everyone responded to him one after another, and Chen Xiao didn’t say anything else.

However, Mo Chen’s next sentence was, “Wen Xi, when the training match is over, I will continue to teach you to climb stairs.”

Wen Xi replied, “Okay~”

Teammates & coach: …..

*

Next, there was another cycle of solo, duo, and squad matches.

In the solo match, Mo Chen followed Wen Xi’s wishes and didn’t protect him as much as before. Wen Xi got nine kills with his own strength before he met Lightning. He was just in the middle of a gunfight with him when Wen Xi was killed by CC from a distance.

Lightning, who was robbed of his kill, cursed out CC for a long time in the public channel. Finally, CC’s teammates told him that with CC’s personality, he must have muted the public channel and couldn’t hear anything. Therefore, Lightning’s mass of words were all in vain.

For a moment, Lightning felt like a fishbone was stuck in his throat. He hadn’t even responded yet before Ling Shuyi rushed out of nowhere and caught him off-guard, killing him on the spot.

And CC was also very quickly chased and killed by Mo Chen, who sniped him with a few headshots in a row until he died.

In the end, the champion of this match was Chen Wei.

Mo Chen was encircled, attacked, and killed before he even entered the final circle. He took 21 kills before he died, which was the highest in the field.

Ling Shuyi’s extraordinary performance in this match allowed him to enter the final circle. While he was just in a gunfight with some of the MQ players in the final circle, Chen Wei killed him with two consecutive grenades—Of course, all the people from MQ team were also dead.

That’s how Chen Wei became the champion.

And he had taken a good number of kills. He had eight, only one less than Wen Xi!

“Dog Ge is so great!” Ling Shuyi couldn’t help but praise, his tone a bit sour—If it wasn’t for Chen Wei, the bastard who had snuck up on him in the dark, the champion of this match might have been him!

“Dog Ge, what the hell?” Chen Wei refused this title.

Ling Shuyi retorted, “Hideaway god, hideaway god, until you become the dog god! If you hide away until the end, you’ll become the champion!”

Mo Chen commented, “Good poem.”

Wen Xi laughed, “Pfft…hahaha!”

Chen Wei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Originally, he had wanted to retort, but he didn’t expect that the captain would chime in. In that moment, he had no interest in retorting.

Besides, hiding away until the end still counted as his ability to win the championship ba!

What he didn’t know was that Mo Chen was truly considering how to make good use of his ability—Maybe Chen Wei would be suitable for playing solo matches?

Up until now, during formal competitions CLM would have Mo Chen and Ling Shuyi play solo matches, while Chen Wei would play in duo matches as a support.

But now, Mo Chen thought that this could be changed.

If he let Chen Wei and Ling Shuyi play in the solo matches….

He could then play duo matches with Wen Xi √

However, in the second duo match, Mo Chen still tried out a new combination—He and Ling Shuyi in one team, and Wen Xi and Chen Wei in another.

In the end, he and Ling Shuyi died in the fourth circle, while Wen Xi and Chen Wei died in the fifth circle.

Finally, CC and Ax of the MQ team got first place.

——This firmed up Mo Chen’s resolve to let Chen Wei play solo matches, while he and Wen Xi played duo matches!

They had not played well for two matches in a row. Fortunately, CLM won first place again in the last squad match of the morning, and their total number of kills exceeded 40. Their entire team was also alive in the end, which undoubtedly declared to all the teams that they were now strong.

And the reason why they had become so strong was that Wen Xi had joined.

“Wen Xi is really strong,” Ling Shuyi took off his headphones and said from the bottom of his heart, “With you there, I can rush forward without any fear at all.”

Chen Wei commented, “Isn’t it just the same as being led around by your owner on a dog leash?”

“Fuck, what kind of metaphor is that!” Ling Shuyi puffed up right there and exclaimed, “Besides, what dog ba? I’m a cat!”

“Alright, alright, do your epic cat vs. dog fight outside.” Coach Chen Xiao couldn’t hold back his complaints, before helping to pour glasses of water for the four people and setting them on the tea table in the lobby. “How are you guys? Do you want to have a rest or go to dinner first? ”

Mo Chen sat down on the sofa beside the tea table and rubbed his wrists gently—Even he was a little tired after playing six matches in a row.

“Take a rest first ba,” he said.

“Alright,” Chen Xiao said, then also sat down on the sofa and casually asked, “The videos have all been saved ba?”

Mo Chen replied, “Of course.”

Hearing these words, Chen Xiao somehow recalled the scene of Mo Chen teaching Wen Xi how to climb the staircase—If the other teams saw that section when playing it back, he wasn’t sure what they would think.

Especially the NUM team waiting upstairs…

You never knew what your enemy could be doing.

They may be singing, they may be dancing, or they may even be teaching their boyfriends how to climb staircases.

“It’s nearly the New Year ba?” Chen Wei suddenly asked, “What do you guys plan to do during the Spring Festival?”

Ling Shuyi said, “What else can I do? Go home and eat bei.”

Hearing this question, Wen Xi immediately looked at Mo Chen.

Aware of his gaze, Mo Chen looked back at him and raised his eyebrows.

Wen Xi immediately withdrew his gaze, coughing before saying, “I’m about the same. I’ll go home and have a meal or something.”

Chen Wei said, “No way ba? We’ll have a week off for Chinese New Year, so shouldn’t we go on a trip?”

Chen Xiao retorted, “What kind of trip can you do in a week! Isn’t it better to play for a month and a half after winning the championship?”

Chen Wei exclaimed, “Wtf, that’s actually fucking reasonable!”

Mo Chen took a leisurely sip and then said, “I’ll take a trip home too.”

After he finished this sentence, the room was quiet for a few seconds, which surprised Wen Xi.

Not waiting for Wen Xi to voice his suspicions, Chen Wei asked in a very low voice, “Can I go to your house to have a look?”

Mo Chen replied, “No way.”

Ling Shuyi asked, “Then what about me, what about me? I’ll just go and have a look, and I’ll leave right after! ”

Mo Chen replied, “No way.”

Chen Xiao said, “Tch, don’t waste your energy. Is Mo Chen’s home a place you guys can visit? You’ll be hurried out as soon as you walk in.”

“Uh, why?” Wen Xi scratched his head.

He knew that Mo Chen’s family was rich, but that didn’t mean they would prevent anyone from entering ba?

Chen Xiao had just wanted to answer, but before he could open his mouth, Mo Chen cut in and asked, “Do you want to go home with me and have a look?”

Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, knowing that Mo Chen was asking him. He was misled by Chen Wei and Ling Shuyi’s cautious tones, so he also asked in a very careful tone, “Is that okay?”

Mo Chen smiled and replied, “Of course.”

Teammates & coach: ….Fuck! These damn double standards!

Wen Xi blinked and thought he had heard wrong. “I can?”

Mo Chen let out an “en” and said, “Of course you can.”

Wen Xi asked, “What about them?”

Mo Chen replied, “They can’t.”

Wen Xi asked, “Why?”

Mo Chen replied, “Because I won’t allow it.”

Okay, Wen Xi could count as understanding now. It turned out that it wasn’t that Mo Chen’s home was really hard to get into, but that Mo Chen himself wouldn’t allow it.

Wen Xi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he replied, “No ba, it seems a bit strange to specially go to your home.”

Mo Chen was lost in thought for a bit. After a moment of silence, he said, “That’s true.”

After that, Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei brainwashed Wen Xi, saying that Mo Chen’s home was so big and luxurious, and it would be such a shame for him not to go—Mo Chen wasn’t listening at all. Now his mind was full of Wen Xi’s words of “seems a bit strange” from just now.

Yes ah, why did he want to take Wen Xi home? Why was it that only when Wen Xi mentioned visiting his home, that he didn’t resist at all and was even a little happy?

Mo Chen’s eyes fell on Wen Xi. For a moment, he felt that in the entire lobby, Wen Xi was the only one with color. He had no idea what the other people were doing or saying, and he could only see Wen Xi.

However, he was only stunned for a moment. He soon came back to his senses and interrupted the meaningless conversation, “You’ve all rested enough ba? Let’s go eat.”

After hearing his words, everyone found that they were a little hungry, so they agreed one after another.

*

After lunch, they played several matches in a row in the afternoon. By the time the training match was finally over, they had played until their hands were practically falling off.

All the data needed to be collected by the major teams themselves, and on the CLM side, everything was handed over to Liu Weizhe.

Liu Weizhe didn’t understand tactics and so on, but he was very familiar with sorting data ah. That night, he organized all the data, made a table, and sent it to the group.

CLM’s total score was the highest of all teams. It was almost 0.25 times higher than YEY in second place, while YEY was almost equal to MQ in third place. It wouldn’t be surprising for either of them to push the other down.

“MQ has grown stronger again,” Chen Xiao couldn’t help but sigh emotionally.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Liu Weizhe upload three pictures. They were actually graphs of the personal data of the main members of CLM, YEY, and MQ, including their weapon utilization rate, headshot rate, and health loss rate in the solo, duo, and squad competitions, as well as various other forms of competitions.

Through these graphs, everyone’s performance in the training competition was clear at a glance.

“Holy shit, Liu Jie’s efficiency is second to none!” Chen Wei couldn’t help but marvel at it.

Ling Shuyi looked at his own data on the graph. His data point plummeted between that of Mo Chen and Wen Xi’s, and he wanted to find a hole to drill down into the ground. “Can’t he send it individually? He has to send it to the group… ”

“Sending it individually still wouldn’t cover up the fact that you’re playing poorly ah?” Chen Wei gloated while hooking an arm around Ling Shuyi’s neck.

He had just finished speaking when Ling Shuyi pushed his palm into his face and escaped from his grasp, exclaiming, “Scram! It’s amazing that your survival rate is higher than mine ah! But in terms of kills, I still take more!”

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes and was too lazy to talk to those two—Compared with Mo Chen and Wen Xi, their achievements were no different from noobs pecking at each other.

He had originally thought that Mo Chen would look over the chart and give the two people a cold glance. He never expected that Mo Chen would be very optimistic after reading the data, “Kitty didn’t turn into a lootbox upon landing this time ah.”

Ling Shuyi was stunned for a moment—Eh? Captain, is that a compliment?

Mo Chen continued, “Chen Wei’s assault rifle hit rate and headshot rate have improved. It seems that the training was effective.”

“That’s true~” Chen Wei shamelessly responded, but who knew whether it was because he felt guilty or what, but he let out a “hehe” and rubbed his nose.

Wen Xi compared his own data with Mo Chen’s. It seemed that only his bow utilization rate, hit rate, and headshot rate were things he could be proud of.

Originally, he had thought that although he was not as good as Mo Chen in using the sniper rifle, it wouldn’t be too bad ba.

However, as soon as the data came out, he saw that the gap was so big that he was too ashamed to show his face.

“The data is only part of it, and it still should be analyzed in accordance with the specific situation,” Mo Chen said, “It’s getting late. Today, I’ll choose a few squad matches to replay, and tomorrow, the coach will help me watch the entire training match video to find out what we need to reinforce.”

Everyone agreed, and Chen Xiao also let out an “en.”

Wen Xi looked at Chen Xiao and Mo Chen. Although he was getting used to it, he still felt it was a little strange.

In the CLM team, even the coach listened to Mo Chen’s words.

Mo Chen replayed the matches very quickly, almost as if he still remembered what happened during the entire competition. He directly fast forwarded past the parts that he felt he didn’t need to go over, and just picked out a few key points. He said, “Here, Kitty, don’t lose your cool every time you see someone else’s head. At this time, should you really rush in?”

Ling Shuyi tactically lied down on the table, “In fact, I felt a little bad when I rushed in, but I couldn’t stop…”

“Don’t explain.” Although Mo Chen was much more gentle than before, when he was cold, he was still icy. “Did I replay all this for you to explain? I’m only responsible for pointing out problems, and you are responsible for remembering and solving them. No matter what the reason is, the same situation should not happen again.”

“Understood!” Ling Shuyi listened to this familiar cold tone, and all the hair on his body stood on end.

Mo Chen continued to fast forward. “Chen Wei, you could have come out to fight at this time. Here, and here—These kills could have been taken. I know you were afraid of people hiding in the tree, but if there were people there, they would have made a move a long time ago.”

Learning from Ling Shuyi’s lesson, Chen Wei didn’t try to explain half a sentence from the beginning to the end, and had been nodding earnestly while taking notes.

“And then…Wen Xi.”

Wen Xi was taken aback when he was called by Mo Chen.

Compared with Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei, his mistakes in the training match were definitely small, but they weren’t completely absent.

So when he heard Mo Chen call his name, he was worried that Mo Chen would point out his problems and be disappointed with him.

He almost instinctively turned his gaze to Mo Chen and looked at him innocently with wide eyes, with a look of waiting for his sentence to be pronounced.

Aware of his gaze, Mo Chen subconsciously raised his head and laughed at him on the spot.

Wen Xi: ?

“Don’t be nervous,” Mo Chen said, his tone obviously softening, “I just want to say, your problems aren’t big. If you’re tired, then you can go take a bath and go to sleep. Tomorrow, I’ll replay it all to you separately.”

Ling Shuyi & Chen Wei: !!!

Fuck, I’m so jealous right now!

Wen Xi was stunned for a while before realizing what Mo Chen meant. He let out a breath, and his heart felt warm. He couldn’t help but smile back to Mo Chen. “Okay, then I’ll take a bath first.”

Mo Chen said, “En, remember to blow dry your hair before you go to sleep. Don’t catch a cold.”

“Mmhmm~” Wen Xi responded, and simply stood up from the chair and went to take a bath.

Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei looked at his back and very deeply felt the gap between being a teammate versus being a wife.

The corner of Chen Xiao’s lip drew up and he asked, “Can I leave ahead of time?”

Mo Chen replied, “No, you have to stay and listen to what I say. When you sort it out tomorrow, you can remove the parts that I’ve already gone over.”

Chen Xiao clicked his tongue, but didn’t say anything further.

Compared with other team’s coaches, his work was definitely more relaxed, and there was really nothing to be dissatisfied with.

So Mo Chen unpaused the replay and asked, “Where did we get to just now?”

“We got to…” Chen Wei responded before suddenly changing his words, asking, “Captain, are you short of concubines?”

Mo Chen looked at him coldly. “Want to die?”

Chen Wei made the tactical decision to lie on the table. “I was wrong.”

Ling Shuyi followed him to the table. “You continue.”

My God! The captain’s change in attitude after Wen Xi leaves had become too obvious!

Wen Xi, don’t go, quickly come back QAQ
