The King’s Avatar - Chapter 1734

1734 Side Story: The Expectations of the Mediocre (5)

A week later.

In Season 4, Round 7 of the Glory Professional Alliance, Team Samsara ended their consecutive defeats and won a hearty victory. As the team captain, Zhang Yiwei was in a great mood. Even though their opponents today weren’t strong, he believed that the meeting he had organized on the morning of the last break had been useful. After all, he had been paying attention to everyone’s mental state for the past week. From what he could see, from that day onwards, everyone had worked very hard.

“Keep it up!” He told his team.

However, in Round 8 and Round 9, after meeting Excellent Era and Tyranny, the two leading teams of this season, Samsara was immediately beaten back to their original state.

!!

Then, in Round 10, Samsara met Team Hundred Blossoms, who had fought Excellent Era for the championship in the finals before.

“Pull, pull, pull…” At the critical moment of the team competition, Zhang Yiwei kept mumbling, but Cloud Piercer’s health couldn’t withstand the damage from his opponent’s attacks and died instantly.

“What’s going on? Didn’t I tell you to look after your health?!” Seeing Cloud Piercer fall, Zhang Yiwei slammed his mouse on the table and furiously typed.

Fang Minghua couldn’t care less for the time being. The competition wasn’t over yet, but it wouldn’t last for much longer.

“What’s wrong with you today? No, you haven’t been in the right state recently.” Zhang Yiwei couldn’t wait to return to the prep room after the match. As he walked through the player passageway, he couldn’t wait to criticize Fang Minghua.

“I…” Fang Minghua wanted to defend himself, but the hazy feeling made him unable to form words for some time.

However, Zhang Yiwei had already started counting Fang Minghua’s mistakes in this round like a machine gun.

“That’s not entirely true.” Suddenly, a voice came from the side. It was Team Hundred Blossoms. As the victor, they were a bit slower to leave the stage. At this moment, they bumped into Team Samsara in the player passageway. Samsara’s players all looked in the direction of the voice. The one who interrupted them was Team Hundred Blossoms’ captain, Sun Zheping.

“Don’t just target one person. The problem isn’t just with him,” said Sun Zheping.

“What do you mean?” Zhang Yiwei looked at Sun Zheping. They had entered the Alliance at the same time, but the current Sun Zheping could already compete with top Gods like Ye Qiu and Han Wenqing.

“At the end of the day, your overall strength is weak,” said Sun Zheping.

“You…” Zhang Yiwei did not expect Sun Zheping to be so straightforward and merciless.

“Right?” Sun Zheping turned his head and looked at his partner, Zhang Jiale, whose popularity was much higher than his.

“I don’t know.” Zhang Jiale was very depressed, but when he looked at Samsara’s members, he was very sincere. “The above comments only represent Sun Zheping’s personal opinion. If you want to fight in person, please only target Sun Zheping.”

The other Hundred Blossoms members immediately showed expressions of deep agreement, and they quickly left with Zhang Jiale.

“Tsk.” Sun Zheping disagreed.

“Let’s go.” He even waved goodbye to Samsara’s players before chasing after his teammates.

Samsara’s members stood in the passageway, feeling very awkward. No one felt good about being called weak by their opponents, but no one could come out and refute. They watched Hundred Blossoms leave. They watched Sun Zheping chase after them and slap all of his members playfully. In the end, he walked to the front of the team with Zhang Jiale.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with envy.

Samsara didn’t lack diligence, hard work, or unity. What they lacked was someone who had absolute strength and could stand up on their own.

This person… Everyone looked at one another. Everyone knew that this person was not among them.

“Let’s go,” said Zhang Yiwei suddenly. His tone was much more depressed.

He was Samsara’s captain. He used the best character in the team. He was supposed to be the Samsara player who made his opponents feel the most troubled. However, Sun Zheping’s words about their overall strength being weak had undoubtedly included him. Furthermore, the one who was the weakest was actually him. This was because he was Samsara’s captain and the core of the team. He was someone who would be compared to Ye Qiu, Han Wenqing, and Sun Zheping.

Zhang Yiwei smiled bitterly and shook his head. How could he compare to them? He would never be able to compare to them in this lifetime.

He turned around and looked at Fang Minghua.

Fang Minghua immediately stopped.

“What about the Sharpshooter that can help us? When will he come?” Zhang Yiwei asked.

Everyone was stunned.

Fang Minghua’s jaw dropped.

“The captain is asking you a question.” Tong Lin patted him.

“I’ll contact him and see when it’s convenient for him,” said Fang Minghua hurriedly.

Zhang Yiwei nodded and didn’t say anything else. He continued to walk forward. Samsara’s members stayed behind and gathered around Fang Minghua.

“Is there really such a person?”

“What’s his name?”

“How old is he?”

“What kind of person is he?”

His teammates asked Fang Minghua curiously.

“His name is Zhou Zekai. He uses his real name in the game. He’s 17 years old now. As for what kind of person he is, how should I put it…” Fang Minghua thought for a moment and said, “He’s definitely strong. He’s a good person and doesn’t talk much.”

“He sounds like an impressive person who talks with his actions.”

“But it’s only in online games…”

“Minghua, have you fought him in the arena before?” Someone suddenly asked.

Fang Minghua looked embarrassed. The others also looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot.

“Oh, oh, oh.” That person came back to his senses. Fang Minghua was a healer, and he was the standard healer in the professional arena who was responsible for healing. If he went to the arena to fight one-on-one, he would definitely not be doing his job properly! If the captain found out about this, he would definitely be reprimanded.

“Stop crowding around here! Think about the captain’s feelings!” At this moment, Tong Lin stood up and spoke. Everyone looked and saw the captain, Zhang Yiwei, standing alone in front. His back view truly seemed a little ruthless. Everyone quickly followed, but Tong Lin himself dragged Fang Minghua to stay at the back.

“So during this period of time when you were playing games, did you spend a lot of time with him?” Tong Lin asked.

“It was all during our break times, and I didn’t play too much,” said Fang Minghua.

“I don’t mean to blame you, but you’ve become stronger these few weeks,” said Tong Lin.

“Me? Have I become stronger?” Fang Minghua’s eyes widened. He couldn’t help but look forward. Just now, Captain Zhang Yiwei was criticizing him for not being in a good state recently. In the game that had just ended, he felt that there were a few places where he couldn’t keep up with his captain’s rhythm.

Tong Lin smiled and didn’t explain much. He only patted Fang Minghua’s shoulder. “Call your friend over as soon as possible. I’m looking forward to it.”

“Yes.” Tong Lin nodded.

In the blink of an eye, another week passed.

In Season 4, Round 11 of the Glory Professional Alliance, Team Samsara was up against Team Blue Rain.

Zhang Xinjie’s record was the best out of all the dazzling rookies that had appeared this season, but the most eye-catching was Team Blue Rain.

This was because Zhang Xinjie had joined Team Tyranny, a strong team to begin with. The captain, Han Wenqing, was an existence that wasn’t inferior to Battle God Ye Qiu in the eyes of many. Thus, Zhang Xinjie undoubtedly had a platform that was very beneficial to his performance.

As for Blue Rain, after their former captain Wei Chen left, they couldn’t recover from last season’s setback and couldn’t even make it into the playoffs. However, this season, as the two rookies went into battle, Blue Rain returned to the ranks of champion contenders after ten rounds.

The rookie Yu Wenzhou took over the team’s Warlock account, Swoksaar, became Blue Rain’s new captain. However, just as everyone thought that he would be Blue Rain’s new core player, Blue Rain sent out an even bigger surprise.

The Blade Master wasn’t a class in Team Blue Rain’s main lineup, but with the addition of this new player, Blue Rain’s main lineup had a place for Blade Masters. Furthermore, it was the most dazzling place.

It belonged to Huang Shaotian, Blade Master Troubling Rain. After a few matches, everyone saw that he was the sharpest spear in Team Blue Rain. He appeared and disappeared like a ghost, waiting for an opportunity to strike. With a single strike, he killed his opponent. At the same time, the chat box was filled with trash talk from him.

It was said that Huang Shaotian’s talkative behavior had already attracted the Alliance’s attention, but it was unfair to ban an individual player from speaking. It was said that they were currently discussing whether to ban characters who had died in a group battle from sending messages. From this, it could be seen how terrifying the effect of Huang Shaotian’s trash talk was. If other characters died, it would be over, but he could use the power of words to continue killing his opponents.

According to rumors, the Alliance had recently conducted a questionnaire for all professional players, asking if they were bothered by this level of trash talk during the competition. There was only one person who denied it.

It had to be known that this questionnaire would also be sent to Team Blue Rain. Even Huang Shaotian’s teammates gave an affirmative answer. As for who the only person who didn’t have any problems was, the person who leaked the information didn’t know.

The change in the rules was still under discussion, but it wasn’t important to Samsara, who had met Blue Rain in this round. They simply didn’t have the ability to turn Huang Shaotian’s character, Troubling Rain, into a corpse in a team battle. Instead, during a switch in offense and defense, Huang Shaotian seized the opportunity and instantly killed two Samsara players.

He killed Cloud Piercer and Laughing Song.

One was Team Samsara’s core boss, while the other was an indispensable healer in team battles.

At this moment, the match had ended. Team Samsara was quickly defeated.

Blue Rain won easily, but Samsara had already lost to the point of numbness.
