Ch82 - Domestic Trials 5

Edited by kat

The second match lasted for 26 minutes, and the top three were Mo Chen, CC, and Chen Wei.

Compared with the first match, the overall performance of the CLM team had declined significantly. The number of players they had in the top eight for the solo competition had also dropped from five to three—Ling Shuyi turned into a lootbox upon landing, and Jiang Xinyi was heavily pursued the entire way. He managed to escape several times, but he was killed in the third circle.

However, after summing their points from the two matches, Jiang Xinyi was still in the top eight, and Ling Shuyi was also within the top 10, so there was no big problem.

Still, just because the problem wasn’t big didn’t mean it didn’t need to be solved.

When Ling Shuyi came down, Chen Xiao patted him on the back and said, “Go eat first. After having a good meal, I’ll adjust the tactics.”

Ling Shuyi was stunned for a while. Originally, he had still been down, but when he heard this sentence, his eyes brightened. “Adjust the tactics?”

“Yes, adjust the tactics. Everyone is lining up to slap our faces, so how can we not counter-attack?” Chen Xiao said, “But don’t think so much now, go eat first.”

“Okay!” Ling Shuyi said, his mood improving a lot.

Chen Xiao’s words were tantamount to telling him that it was not entirely his fault that he turned into a lootbox upon landing, and he was also helping him think of a solution.

Although he didn’t know how Chen Xiao would adjust their tactics or what would be the results of this adjustment, at the very least, he gave Ling Shuyi some hope.

They all had lunch nearby.

They reserved a private room and held a meeting directly in the private room after eating.

“We’re being targeted.” Chen Xiao first threw the problem out, and then directly gave a solution, “Moving forward in the competition, it’ll be more dangerous to act alone. My thinking is that we should have two people in a group.”

He looked at Ling Shuyi and Jiang Xinyi and said, “Kitty and Xiao Xin are in one group. You guys are both good at taking kills and you won’t restrict each other’s movements much, so the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It’ll mainly be Xiao Xin coordinating with Kitty about where to jump to, and Xiao Xin controlling the kills. Although it is a solo match, we’re all from the same team, so I hope you can help each other and strive to get into the top eight together, and not sacrifice anyone.”

“I don’t mind.” Jiang Xinyi took the lead in expressing his stance.

He had also noticed that he had been targeted. In fact, even if Chen Xiao didn’t say anything, he had planned to jump beside his teammates next match to protect himself.

Ling Shuyi also quickly expressed his stance, flashing an OK gesture with his hand.

Then, Chen Xiao looked at Mo Chen and Wen Xi. “I’m not worried about you two. How about you two discuss among yourselves what you guys should do?”

Mo Chen let out an “en.”

Last match, Wen Xi had been unable to make it into the final circle after being run over by Lightning, who had long since been waiting by the edge of the circle.

However, he had taken enough kills, so in the end he had ranked second for the solo competition so far, which wasn’t bad.

Therefore, taking into account his individual points, he didn’t need to move with his teammates.

Mo Chen, he really didn’t need to mention. After the reform to the competition system, he was like a fish in water and steamrolled over everyone in his path. Absolutely no one was able to stop him.

As for Chen Wei….

Chen Xiao had just looked at him, but before he could speak, Chen Wei raised his hand first and said, “I’m fine! I’m completely ojbk!”

Wasn’t it just hiding and getting into the top three of every match ma, he could do it!

When he was alone, he only needed to consider his own hiding spot, and he could control the timing of his attacking and retreating.

As he had said before, if other people wanted to kill him off, they would have to find him first.

He knew exactly what kind of playstyle was best for him, but having teammates tended to make him overcautious.

That was because once there were teammates with him, he couldn’t just care about himself, and he would pay more attention to his teammates, even sacrificing himself in order to protect them.

Chen Wei was undoubtedly a very good support, but this had also become his greatest weakness.

Chen Xiao felt quite strongly about this, so he didn’t insist upon anything. He was just stunned for a moment before going along with Chen Wei’s words. “Alright, do what you think is best. In the two matches in the morning, you did perform pretty well.”

Although Chen Wei had only taken two kills in the second match, with the points from being one of the last three survivors, he could still squeeze into the top eight for the solo competition.

Next, everyone recapped their issues jumping and racing the poison circle from the matches in the morning, before they returned to the competition site.

The next games started at 1 o’clock in the afternoon, and were another two solo matches.

Everyone returned to the competition scene before 12 o’clock arrived, so they directly laid down in the rest area and dozed for a bit.

When the casters returned to the scene, the only person who didn’t nap, Liu Weizhe, woke everyone up one by one.

Before the players went in to play, Chen Xiao clenched his fist and encouraged them, “Good luck! Blow them up! Strive for the whole team to advance to the Global Championship!”

“OK!” Chen Wei and Ling Shuyi responded loudly.

Mo Chen also couldn’t help laughing and said, “Will do.”

Wen Xi replied, “Mhm, we definitely will!”

Although Jiang Xinyi didn’t respond, his expression showed that he was certain they’d win.

In the afternoon matches, everyone played really well.

First were Ling Shuyi and Jiang Xinyi, whose cooperation was completely dominated by Jiang Xinyi.

Ling Shuyi rushed out obviously in front of him, while Jiang Xinyi hid in the dark, both drawing on Ling Shuyi’s strength and providing him with support.

When the two snipers of the YEY team wanted to kill Ling Shuyi, Jiang Xinyi threw a smoke grenade to cover him in time and shot back, hitting the head of one of the snipers!

With Jiang Xinyi’s gunshot to point out their directions, Ling Shuyi left the smoke and rushed over to the positions of the two snipers. Then, he killed one with his assault rifle while the other was killed by Jiang Xinyi throwing a grenade.

“Kitty and Newing work well together ah!” Bunny Ji said in surprise, “I think they are the pair with the best teamwork in this solo competition besides Momo and Wency!”

“It can be seen that the CLM team has changed their tactics,” A-Yi said, “Kitty and Newing moving together is really like adding wings to a tiger. However, I feel like it’s different from Momo and Wency’s mutual cooperation. The duo’s cooperation is being completely guided by Newing.”

“Newing is really strong! He’s my favorite player now, bar none!” Bunny Ji said.

This was absolutely the highest praise a player could receive.

“Hahaha, Newing will definitely be very happy when he hears that!” A-Yi said. He had just wanted to analyze Newing’s performance from just now when the director suddenly cut the camera over to YEY’s Lightning’s side.

Their original intention should have been to see Lightning’s reaction to two of his teammates dying, but they didn’t expect that right when they cut over, Mo Chen shot Lightning in the head!

“Yi?!” BunnyJi exclaimed, before remembering to explain, “This match, Momo also jumped to the forest area! And now he’s trying to kill Lightning!”

“Lightning’s spot is kind of okay, so he still has time to save himself after falling to the ground…. He saved himself and stood up!”

A-Yi’s voice had just rang out when there was another bang, and before Lightning could run away after standing up, he was again headshotted by Mo Chen!

A-Yi said, “….Okay ba, I take back what I said about Lightning’s spot being good. His position was blocked by tree stumps after he fell down, but once he got up, he was exposed to Momo’s attack range. However, Lightning is very smart, throwing out a smoke grenade this time before saving himself! Can he escape from Momo’s claws? I think so!”

He had just spoken when Lightning, who had just gotten up after saving himself for the second time, was headshotted by Momo for the third time.

A-Yi: ….

My face really hurts.

A-Yi’s face hurt, while Lighting’s mentality had completely collapsed, “Shit! Is he done or not!”

He scrambled behind a nearby tree before the smoke cleared out.

However, just after he climbed up a little, Mo Chen shot again, killing off Lightning as he hid behind the tree.

[CLM-Momo killed YEY-Lightning with a headshot with a sniper rifle!]

Lightning wanted to seclude himself, Lightning was suspicious of life.

If the equipment here hadn’t been strictly checked, he would have suspected that Mo Chen had a perspective or headshot bot running

However, at the moment, the barrage in the stream was very delighted by what they saw and heard:

[Hahahahaha, he deserved that!]

[Who let you bully my family’s Xixi last match, you deserve that!]

[Hahahaha, I already wanted to say last match, you even dare to pit God Xi, aren’t you afraid of God Mo chasing after you and trying to kill you?]

During the last match, Lightning had run over Wen Xi outside the safety zone and pitted him. This match, Mo Chen saw him jump to the forest area, and jumped down after him without thinking about it.

At that time, some people had speculated whether he wanted to avenge Wen Xi.

Sure enough, after landing Mo Chen pretty much chased Lightning the whole way, so Lightning was frantically trying to run and didn’t have time to take any kills. When he was killed, there were no kills in his hands.

Wen Xi was very sensitive towards Mo Chen’s ID.

Every time Mo Chen’s ID appeared in the upper right corner of the screen, he would immediately notice it

Therefore, when Lightning was killed by Mo Chen, he also immediately noticed it. Knowing Mo Chen was helping him get revenge, his lips couldn’t help drawing up.

Unexpectedly, the director gave him a shot at this time, so that smile was engraved in the eyes of the entire audience.

After seeing him smile like that, a lot of people who hadn’t figured out what was going on instantly figured it out.

“So Momo was helping avenge my Xi!”

“Holy shit, this smile, I’m willing!”

“Ahhhhhh it’s too sweet ba! It’s too happy being a MoXi CP fan!”

At the same time, the players on other teams who weren’t playing saw Wen Xi’s smile, and when they thought of Lightning’s tragic death their hair all stood on end.

——Shit! After this match, who would dare to attack Wen Xi?!

Finally, for this match, Wen Xi smoothly went into the final circle and won first place.

Mo Chen was second, and Chen Wei was third.

Ling Shuyi and Jiang Xinyi’s solo competition points also allowed them to successfully squeeze into the top eight.

“Awesome!” Chen Xiao jumped up from the chair excitedly, as happy as a 200 jin fat man!

He felt that the whole team could be promoted to the Global Championship!

This was really…. He didn’t even dare to think about it before the global competition had started!

After a 15 minute break, the fourth match began.

After Lightning jumped, he immediately saw that Mo Chen had jumped down alongside him. His heart thudded, and he could already foresee his own ending.

He hated that he couldn’t just kneel down in front of Mo Chen now—Dage, I was wrong! Dage, I won’t ever dare to hit your wife again!

He could count as having found out the meaning of “beating people up feels cool, but eventually you’ll be a cremated ghoul.”

Was…was it too late for him to go and apologize to Wen Xi?
