Ch73 - Momo, you've got to be more restrained!

Edited by kat

A-Yi had just finished talking when the audience immediately cheered in response.

While he was interacting with the audience, the players participating in the first solo match of the Summer Championship entered the queuing map.

Then, besides the two members from CLM, the expressions on everyone else’s face were indescribable.

Not only the players on the field, but the people sitting in the players’ rest area watching the battle also all had blank expressions.

As though she knew what they were thinking, Caster Bunny Ji couldn’t help laughing and said, “The players sent in by CLM are really unexpected ah!”

“Hahaha, yes, I think many teams are doubting life today,” A-Yi went along with her and said, “Actually, before today’s game, I also tried to guess CLM’s lineup. Kitty, Windy, and Newing all have their own advantages playing solo, so I wouldn’t have been surprised if any two of them came out to perform, but!”

“But! None of them are playing right now!” Bunny Ji said immediately after A-Yi, and almost went crazy with laughter. “The people playing are actually Momo and Wency! I believe that this arrangement will certainly trash most of the other team’s tactics that they prepared in advance!”

Yes, on the first day of the Summer Championship, CLM let Mo Chen and Wen Xi go first.

This arrangement really surprised all the other teams, and also raised the eyebrows of the casters and the audience.

You had to know that Mo Chen and Wen Xi played in the solo match on the first day of the Spring Championship. This led to CLM lacking in combat power during the duo match, causing them to turn into lootboxes upon landing. Therefore, Mo Chen and Wen Xi had been switched to duos.

Who would have thought they would “follow the same disastrous path” in the Summer Championship?

“CLM is too interesting!” A-Yi couldn’t help saying, “From the moment Momo changed his ID, I knew that this was a team that didn’t play their cards according to common sense, and sure enough! Everyone thinks that Momo and Wency are the best choice to play duos, but they didn’t choose to do that!”

“I think they guessed that other teams would prepare their tactics according to their ideal lineup, so they are deliberately using a less ideal lineup,” Bunny Ji guessed, “So the question is, how will CLM play during the duo match?”

“I’m really looking forward to it ah! But let’s wait until the duo match starts to see what happens then ba! Let’s first take a look at the solo match’s situation.”

As soon as A-Yi finished speaking, the solo match began, and all the players boarded the plane.

Wen Xi looked at his computer screen and took a deep breath.

Other teams didn’t know, but Mo Chen was the one who had made the decision to have himself and Wen Xi play in the first solo match of the summer games a week ago.

Before that, Mo Chen had really planned to play duos with him for the whole year.

However, Mo Chen received some kind of stimulation, had suddenly changed his decision, and did some solo match training with him.

Wen Xi had also worried about what would happen during the duo match if he and Mo Chen went to play solo. In response, Mo Chen said, “I believe in everyone on our team. All of our training hasn’t been in vain.”

This sentence really touched Wen Xi, and Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei almost cried. Only Jiang Xinyi had an expression of “I’ll just quietly watch your performance here.”

Whether this decision was good or bad, everyone had their own thoughts on it.

At the very least, Wen Xi never doubted any of Mo Chen’s decisions.

Since he was playing, he would certainly take the following battle seriously, fighting not only for the team, but also for himself!

The center of the map for this match was the mountain area, which was Wen Xi’s favorite terrain, so he jumped down without thinking even about it.

As if he had known he would jump to the mountain area, Mo Chen jumped with him at almost the same time.

The two of them drifted towards the highest point of the entire mountain area with tacit understanding. Their intentions were obvious: they wanted to occupy the highest point, expanding both their lines of sight and attack ranges, and grasp the opportunity to clear out more enemies in the first circle.

“Although it’s a solo match, CLM’s pair is totally jumping as though it’s duos ah!” Bunny Ji said, “But I’m not worried that they will interfere with each other. After all, their tacit understanding is apparent for all to see!”

“Yes!” A-Yi agreed, “In fact, I always suspected that they didn’t communicate much even when they were in duo matches, and kept silent the whole time.”

“Hahahahhaha, keeping silent the whole time,” Bunny Ji echoed, and then said, “In fact, to be honest, I hope that CLM can play in the global games this year.”

“Hm? Why?” A-Yi asked. His expression didn’t contain any doubt, and he apparently shared the same idea as Bunny Ji.

Bunny Ji replied, “Because this year, CLM has the archer assassin ah!”

These words expressed the thoughts of everyone present.

When they imagined the foreign teams being dominated by bows and arrows, their blood started boiling—even just imagining the scene was so cool!

At the same time, the image from their minds appeared on the big screen. With a “shhppt” sound, a slender arrow flew through the air in a beautiful parabola, and evenly struck the head of someone in mid-air.

[CLM-Wency killed QAQ-Mice with a headshot with a bow!]

After this system prompt, the atmosphere at the venue exploded instantly!

“AHHHHHHH AWESOME! Wency is so cool!”

“CLM will be the champions ba! Good luck on the global competition!”

“CLM for the global championship!”

The audience’s cheers grew more and more exaggerated, obviously imagining the beautiful picture that Caster Bunny Ji had voiced.

A-Yi couldn’t help laughing and said, “Congratulations to CLM’s Wency for getting the first kill of the Summer Championship!”

Bunny Ji said, “Momo is starting to take action! Momo got two….three headshots in a row! It has to be said that Momo’s shooting is super stable!”

A-Yi commented, “However, good shooters can be found everywhere, while Wency’s bow can’t be copied!”

In fact, not long after the spring games, many teams had begun to cultivate their own “archer assassins.”

The result of this cultivation was obvious. That was, they were unsuccessful.

Even if there were one or two people who could control where an arrow would fall within a certain range, their hit rate and headshot rate were far below the rate needed to play in the competition.

A player like Jiang Xinyi could use the bow in combination with their own strategies to intimidate and lure the enemy, making everyone dance to his own tune. However, how many players like Jiang Xinyi existed in the world?

As a result, these teams gradually realized that, instead of strengthening their own teams by cultivating an “archer assassin,” they were instead making themselves more aware of the gap between them and CLM, and seriously destroying their morale.

*

One arrow, two arrows, three arrows….

Wen Xi hunted his prey calmly, and nearly every arrow a headshot.

The unique “trajectory” of the bow and arrow could not be defended against. Many of the enemies who were killed by him only realized how they had died after their screens turned gray.

Throughout the game, players from every team could be seen crazily aiming their perspectives at the sky to guard against the arrows that could shoot at them without any of them knowing. This was a very incredible scene compared to competitions in previous years.

“I think the players in the other teams have already gotten to the point where their faces will change color when bows are mentioned,” Bunny Ji said.

A-Yi said, “Indeed ah. Ever since Wency appeared, the entire SGH e-sports circle has suffered a shock. He managed to destroy every team’s carefully cultivated tactics all on his own.” He paused for a bit, before continuing, “When it comes to tactics, I think CLM’s unexpected lineup today must have brought a lot of pressure onto the other teams.”

“If we’re making a comparison, then it’s like after preparing for the exam carefully, I found that I had prepared for all of the wrong questions, right?” After Bunny Ji finished speaking, she couldn’t help giving herself a like.

A-Yi chuckled and praised, “You’re really a smart kid~”

Soon, the poison ring was refreshed for the sixth time. At this time, there were less than ten people still left, and among these ten people, Mo Chen and Wen Xi were the strongest.

The two people played solo matches just like duo matches. They worked together to cut a bloody path in front of them, and no one could break the connection between them.

If someone attacked Mo Chen, then they would definitely be taken out by an arrow from Wen Xi.

If someone cast their greedy gaze on Wen Xi, then they would definitely be headshotted by Mo Chen before even being able to fire.

It could be said that if CLM’s duos combat power wasn’t so limited, it was absolutely the best arrangement for Mo Chen and Wen Xi to fight in the solo matches, because they could turn a solo match into a duo match and use 200% of their combat power to attack the others’ 100%.

The process was so wonderful, and the ending was not surprising—Mo Chen and Wen Xi got into the final circle together.

After killing the last enemy, Mo Chen directly threw a grenade at his own feet, without a shred of hesitation.

In the past, he would pretend to get into a gunfight with Wen Xi and then fire half a second too late, or compete with medicine against Wen Xi, clearly having a first-aid kit but refusing to use it. However, he now acted fearlessly.

Because he threw the grenade too decisively, the “YOU WIN” appeared on Wen Xi’s screen too quickly, and neither the casters nor the audience were able to react.

After a few seconds, the casters had finally realized what had happened and immediately looked at each other, their eyes full of complaints—That was really too much!

Half of the audience screamed and cheered, while the other half booed.

“Wow, they showed off their love during the official competition. This dog food being spread around…is very special.”

“Momo, you’ve got to be more restrained! We’re here to watch the game, not to see you dote on your wife!”

“If you have the ability to throw a grenade at yourself to scatter dog-food everywhere, then you have the ability to kiss here and now ah!”

Caster A-Yi coughed, and with great effort he recovered from all the love being shown off right now. “I won’t explain the last scene, but in a few words…. Congratulations to Wency on winning the first solo match! At the same time, congratulations to CLM for getting the highest points in the solo match!” He paused for a bit, before continuing “Actually, I don’t think there was any suspense regarding the result of this match ah, right Bunny Ji?”

“Right, right!” Bunny Ji repeated “right” twice, but still couldn’t help letting out a “pfft” of laughter—Momo was really too flirty, but she liked that. “….In fact, I am actually looking forward to the next duo match more!”

“Me too. I don’t know who CLM will send to participate,” A-Yi said, and seeing that the audience’s attention had been successfully diverted, he calmed down a little and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. “So, Bunny Ji, let’s make a prediction ba! Who do you guess they’re going to send in?”

Bunny Ji thought carefully, “If it’s duos, then Newing will definitely go in! Kitty has always been playing solo and doesn’t have any duos experience, so I guess it’s Newing and Windy!”

“That’s true. I have nothing to argue with you regarding Newing,” A-Yi said, “But for the other member, I think Kitty is more likely than Windy. Although Windy is better than Kitty in terms of cooperating with his teammates, he is not aggressive enough. I don’t think Newing is very aggressive, he’s just good at snatching kills. Therefore, I think he should need Kitty to help him improve his fighting power.”

Bunny Ji exclaimed, “Eh? When you say it like that, that makes sense.”

A-Yi replied, “Haha, is my prediction right? We’re going to take a break, and the answer will be revealed during the upcoming duo match!”
