Ch84 - Domestic Trials 7

Edited by kat

Lightning’s call was not in vain.

The next day, Mo Chen didn’t chase after him to kill him again.

However, he still stubbornly jumped to the same spot as him, and then crazily stole his kills!

Lightning used all his might to finally manage to escape from Mo Chen’s claws. However, before he could catch his breath, he ran into Wen Xi again.

Wen Xi also didn’t chase after him to kill him, but he also crazily stole his kills.

“Fuck! These stinking rogues!” Lightning kept teetering on the edge of entering seclusion, feeling as though he must have broken these two people up in his last life!

These last two days of the competition had been really rough for him!

Fortunately, in the face of such a situation, YEY’s coach didn’t choose to wait for death, but adopted the tactic that they would only use as a last result—three guarding one.

The “three guarding one” strategy, as the name implied, involved sacrificing three people to concentrate on preserving one’s rank.

The YEY team had entered four players in the solo competition. Besides Lightning still struggling at the edge of eighth place, the other team member’s ranks were 88,000 li away from the top.

However, Run, Thunder, and Tornado all had skills.

In terms of pure skills, any of them could crush Chen Wei.

Therefore, YEY’s coach wasn’t reconciled, and always felt as though some of the CLM members completely didn’t deserve to be in the top eight. He kept wanting to pull them down and make room for his own team.

However, due to the current situation, let alone making room, it had become uncertain whether even their captain could advance to the Global Championship.

Since it had reached this point, YEY’s coach could only recognize reality and change tactics, sacrificing Run, Thunder, and Tornado to ensure Lightning could enter the top eight!

This tactic was effective.

With his teammates escorting him, Mo Chen and Wen Xi’s “bullying” of Lightning was limited.

Lightning suddenly had the feeling of the clouds parting to let him see the sun, and he began to specially charge in to slaughter, gaining back his points in one breath!

Finally, at the end of the second day’s four matches, Lightning’s total points were locked in at seventh place, allowing the entire YEY team to let out a sigh of relief—at least one of them got promoted!

Different from the ambitious YEY team, MQ had been “playing it safe” from the beginning.

Before the fourth circle, Ax and Fu Feijie concentrated on protecting CC and gave as many kills to CC as possible to ensure that he could enter the top eight.

It was only after entering the fourth circle that Ax and Fu Feijie would begin to take their own kills.

They had been using this tactic since the first match yesterday, so CC’s points had always been very stable, not falling out of the top eight for a single match.

Because CC’s personal strength was strong enough, after entering the fourth circle, not only did he not fall in battle after losing the protection of his teammates, but he also helped his teammates get kills.

In this way, by the end of the last game, Fu Feijie just barely squeezed into the top eight with CC’s help!

“Two players from MQ have successfully been promoted! One more than YEY! This is really beyond my expectations ah!”

After all eight matches were done, Bunny Ji looked at the final points and rankings displayed on the big screen, showing a surprised expression.

You had to know, in the competition of past years, YEY’s total score was always higher than MQ’s.

Compared with this cautious team MQ, YEY, who was bold in taking risks and flexible, could always get more points.

However, in this season of the Domestic Trials, the situation had been reversed—MQ not only promoted one more player than YEY, but their total points were much higher than YEY’s!

“MQ’s performance in the solo competition was really unexpected, but the most amazing team is CLM!” A-Yi said, “All five of CLM’s players have been promoted!”

With A-Yi’s words, there was a burst of warm applause and screams from the scene, undoubtedly from CLM’s fans.

Some of the old fans seemed to see the brilliance of CLM when it had just risen two years ago, and tears filled their eyes.

The five CLM players that were promoted may not all have excellent skills, but they each had their own strengths.

However, the most impressive thing about them was the bond between the five of them during the game.

Before the reform to the competition system, almost everyone thought that the players with strong personal strength would get more “preferential treatment.” However, it had been proved that even if the competition system had changed, the role a team played was still very significant.

Let alone how CC and Fu Feijie had helped each other get into the top eight, even Lightning was barely promoted under the protection of his teammates.

CLM didn’t even need to be mentioned. As long as the last survivors were their team members, they wouldn’t hesitate to choose to toss a grenade at themselves and let Chen Wei take the points for getting first place. In the end, they helped him lock in his points at sixth place.

Jiang Xinyi cooperated with Ling Shuyi the whole time, equally distributing the kills between himself and Ling Shuyi, and budgeting the kills the entire time to get himself and Ling Shuyi fourth and fifth place, respectively.

After all eight games were done, the two people’s total scores were almost the same.

As for Mo Chen and Wen Xi, each of them jumped separately, but if they met up later, they would still act together, stealing each other’s kills and protecting each other at the same time.

Just by watching their livestream, MoXi CP fans had already been completely stuffed with dog food. You could imagine what a sweet and greasy scene would appear after it was edited.

In this way, the solo competition for the Domestic Trials had come to an end.

The points and rankings of the eight people who finally made it to the Global Championship were as follows:

First place: CLM-Momo

Second place: CLM-Wency

Third place: MQ-CC

Fourth place: CLM-Newing

Fifth place: CLM-Cat

Sixth place: CLM-Windy

Seventh place: YEY-Lightning

Eighth place: MQ-FFJ

A-Yi said, “Let’s congratulate CLM! At the same time, congratulations to YEY’s Lightning, as well as MQ’s CC and Fu Feijie—Congratulations to these eight people for getting tickets for the global competition!”

Bunny Ji said, “Sure enough, the qualifiers for the Global Championship are still from these three strong teams. I’m looking forward to their performance in the Global Championship!”

A-Yi said, “Tomorrow will be the duo competition, which will also be played for two days with eight matches. I hope the players for each team can bring us a different experience than the solo competition!”

Bunny Ji said, “Yes, let’s wait and see!”

With the two casters’ closing remarks, the audience got up and left one after another. However, some of them were reluctant to part with the solo match arena, waving the support placards in their hands at the players’ seats and calling out the IDs of their favorite players.

“Momo! The championship belongs to you!”

“Rush forward God Xi! Go CLM ya!”

“Lightning, come on! I’m always supporting you!”

“CC, go ahead boldly, dominate the global competition!”

Hearing his name, Wen Xi couldn’t help laughing and leaned against Mo Chen.

“What’s the matter?” Mo Chen pretty much took the opportunity to wrap an arm around his waist and support him in standing.

“Nothing, I just want to lean a bit~” Wen Xi seldom acted flirty, but at this moment he suddenly wanted to flirt a little with Mo Chen.

He felt that without Mo Chen, the him of today would not exist.

He was now very glad that he came into contact with this game SGH and met Mo Chen.

What was more, even if he repeatedly indicated that he didn’t want to play professionally, Mo Chen never gave up trying to “trick him” into joining.

Mo Chen had completely changed his life, making his originally unchanging life exciting and interesting.

Mo Chen couldn’t help laughing when he heard Wen Xi’s words. He lowered his head and gently kissed Wen Xi’s forehead, heedless of whether there were people around them. “Okay, get up and get ready to go back. When we get back, you can lean on me however you want.”

“Mmhmm~” Wen Xi responded obediently and went to tidy up his things.

All their teammates watched this scene with expressions of disgust.

“You two still don’t find yourselves too sickly-sweet!” Chen Xiao couldn’t help but complain.

“It’s so sweet, it’s sickly-sweet!” Chen Wei added.

“Isn’t it pretty good?” Jiang Xinyi almost instinctively defended Mo Chen and Wen Xi against them. “It couldn’t be that you guys would be happy if they quarreled?”

“Hahahahahaha, how could a CP fan ever think there’s too much fluff,” Ling Shuyi said, hooking an arm around Jiang Xinyi’s neck, “Thank you very much for today! Wow, I feel like me being able to get into the top eight was completely due to you carrying me to fly up there!”

“Tch.” Jiang Xinyi gave him the cold shoulder and pushed him away, but after pushing him away, the corner of his lips couldn’t help but rise up.

He didn’t hate being praised, and even hoped that Ling Shuyi would praise him some more.

They all happily left the competition scene while talking and laughing, and those who were going home went home, while those who were going to the hotel returned to the hotel.

However, when they got back, they didn’t immediately relax, but immediately started preparing for the next day’s duo competition.

This time, since everyone wasn’t staying together during the night, the meeting changed from offline to online.

Chen Xiao: Let’s make sure. We’ve signed up for two teams to play in the duo match, with A-Chen and Xixi in one team, and Kitty and Xiao Xin in another. And Xiao Wei will be Kitty’s substitute, right?

Liu Weizhe: That’s right.

Chen Xiao: Okay, let me talk about the situation in the other teams.

Chen Xiao: YEY also registered two teams, Lightning and Run in one team, and Thunder and Tornado in another. MQ only registered one team, CC and Fu Feijie, and then Ax will be their substitute.

Chen Xiao: Eight people will also advance to the global competition through the duo matches, which means four teams. Including us, the top three ranking teams have already entered five teams to play. With only four spots available, it’ll be pretty difficult for both our teams to get in.

Chen Xiao: So I think, A-Chen, if you get more points in the early stages, then you can try to help Kitty and them later.

Mo Chen: En.

Wen Xi: Okay ba.

Chen Xiao: Still, regarding what I said before, I’m not worried about you guys, but the lineup for the duo matches is really a bit devilish, so we should be careful.

Not long after Chen Xiao sent out this sentence, Liu Weizhe sent a voice message.

Everyone was stunned. Some people clicked on it to listen to it, while others held down the message to “transcribe” it. The content of the converted text was as follows:

Liu Weizhe: Lan Yan will also take part in the duo competition. He and Bunny, QAQ’s captain, will be a team. The system only recalculated players’ personal points, not duo points, so I calculated them myself. Their duo points surpassed Kitty and Xiao Xin and were comparable to Thunder and Tornado from YEY. Therefore, when you analyze the enemy, you’d better take them into account.

Seeing this paragraph, Mo Chen raised his eyebrows, a bit surprised.

Lan Yan’s personal points hadn’t even entered the top 100, so he hadn’t played in the solo competition.

But his and Bunny’s duo points were comparable to those of Thunder and Tornado?

You had to know, when Mo Chen and Wen Xi were playing duos, the last people they wanted to encounter were Thunder and Tornado.

The two people didn’t play that well in solo matches, but even Mo Chen and Wen Xi found them difficult to deal with when they were cooperating with each other for duo matches.

Lan Yan and Bunny were that good?

It seemed that tomorrow’s duo competition would be very interesting.
