The Esports Big Shot Wants to Cuddle His New Teammate Every Day chapter 49

Chapter 49

Xu Ziyan’s smurf account was used for practice before he joined TWG. The rank used to be okay, but having not logged in for so long, it kept decaying. When he logged on, only a little over two thousand nine hundred points remained.

In The Resistance‘s team mechanism, the competitive score difference between team members must be less than three hundred points; otherwise, matchmaking cannot proceed.

Xu Ziyan sent the smurf ID to KK and soon received a friend request.

After entering the team, he looked at the scores of the members. Very good, lowest two thousand eight, highest three thousand one—stuck right at the score limit.

“Barely can queue,” Bai Ke turned on the mic and laughed. “Sorry everyone, I, my brother, and Captain Xie are all streaming in the living room. Voices might overlap, please understand.”

[Understand, understand, too understanding.]

[So only Ice is not there alone? Hahaha so pitiful.]

Bai Ke clicked queue, glanced up at the bullet comments, and gave a meaningful smile. He knew what could be said and what couldn’t, only saying, “Is Ice pitiful? Can’t be that there are still people who haven’t read the version change announcement.”

“…” Xu Ziyan was a bit numb from being worshipped by the chat. “I beg you, don’t start rumors about me.”

Xie Wei lowered his head and opened Xu Ziyan’s stream on his phone. Seeing the chat content, he raised an eyebrow. “When did you take up the job of a koi fish? Is there really a luck-changing business? Is praying to you and reposting really useful?”

Xu Ziyan heard the teasing in his tone and was speechless. “Useless, really useless! I’m unlucky. Can’t share good luck; those who want to catch some bad luck, feel free to come.”

A sea of “Hahahaha” and “I don’t believe the koi is being humble again” floated across the bullet screen.

The speaker didn’t mean it, but the listener took it to heart. Xie Wei originally wanted to joke a bit to liven up the atmosphere, but hearing this, he was slightly dazed.

Thinking about it, Xu Ziyan’s luck really wasn’t that good.

Stumbled into youth training, but met a coach with bad intentions and suffered grievances. Finally mustered up courage, but got misunderstood due to various accidents.

Even after joining the team, the journey was bumpy and luck was poor, leading to being flamed or scolded online every day, encountering more haters than some veteran players.

If it were someone else, their mentality probably would have collapsed halfway, choosing to give up.

Fortunately, it was Xu Ziyan.

There were still many players in the three thousand points segment. Plus, since several of them were streaming, many fans wanted to stream-snipe them for a chance to play with their favorite pro players. Soon, the match was formed.

Xie Wei clicked the button, glanced at the bullet comments, and saw someone questioning his Medic skills. He smiled lazily, not refuting, only saying, “Can I play Medic? Watch and see.”

[So arrogant, I love.]

[God Xie’s Medic, grass, afraid the Healing Gun bullets won’t hit teammates at all, only the enemy.]

[Praying for the two Assaulters.]

However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, after entering the map, Xie Wei didn’t choose the violence-output Medic as the chat predicted. Instead, he chose the combination of Healing Gun, Armor Pack, and Taser Gun.

The match started. He unhurriedly stacked armor on the Assaulter named Yan in the team and threw a healing needle out. It could be said he maxed out resources right from the start.

[Newcomer just arrived, why is God Xie playing Medic? Who is this Yan?]

[Hot knowledge: TWG Medic Ice, real name Xu Ziyan.]

[Those who understand, understand.]

This game map was the Temple of Esvar, a point-capture map. Point A was on a small curve with a stone gate arch bridge outside the temple, and Point B was inside the temple.

Called a temple, it was actually just a dilapidated small church with no noteworthy decorations inside or out. In the center of the temple, only a grey goddess stone statue stood before the stained glass, head bowed in devout prayer.

There was a damaged stone wall on the side of the temple corresponding to the main gate. Attackers could flank from here to raid the rear, and retreating was also very convenient. Therefore, Point B was easy to attack and hard to defend. If the defenders wanted to make a play, they could only start from the stone gate arch bridge at Point A.

Unfortunately, the four-person squad happened to be on the defending side.

The game started. They moved toward Point A together, while Bai Ke went a step ahead to flank the enemy’s backline.

Here, Xu Ziyan, who had experience cutting the backline, should have gone to flank, but Bai Ke preferred the role of shooting from behind. Since the Medic happened to be Xie Wei, Xu Ziyan didn’t fight with Bai Ke and stayed directly on the front line as the Tank position.

Just as they set up formation, Xie Wei turned his head and asked strangely, “Chen, why are you, a Sniper, standing more forward than Ice?”

Bai Chen froze for a moment. After reacting for a while, he looked down at the sniper rifle in his hand and said calmly, “Oh, I forgot I was a Sniper.”

[Opponent: Haven’t seen this routine before]

[Sniper tanking, Medic outputting, Assaulter protect yourself]

[Grass, clear division of labor.]

While talking, the enemy had already arrived at the entrance of Point A. No time to adjust positioning, Bai Chen aimed down sights directly from his position standing on the cart and quick-scoped.

The opposite Assaulter didn’t react in time and was headshot directly. Fortunately, he had an armor pack protecting him, otherwise he would have died instantly.

He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but Xu Ziyan was quick-eyed and deft-handed, taking him away with a drag shot.

Less than thirty seconds into the opening attack, they lost an Assaulter directly. The opponents were dumbfounded and could only temporarily retreat, sticking to corners to steal damage while waiting for the teammate to respawn.

Bai Chen took this opportunity to go to the nearest sniping point and set up his gun again.

Originally, when playing Sniper, besides hiding to prevent being cut, Xie Wei also had to use the high vantage point to call out positions for teammates and act as commander. Now in low rank and playing Medic, he was happy to be leisurely, following closely behind Xu Ziyan step by step, healing a bit, throwing an armor pack—in short, absolutely not letting Yan’s health drop below sixty percent.

Bai Ke was in the enemy’s backline; needless to say, he couldn’t get a bite of resources. But he had no complaints. While the front Assaulter was held up by Xu Ziyan and Xie Wei, he jumped directly into the opposing Sniper’s face.

He had been camping here for a long time, patiently almost to a weird degree. Even when the Sniper came over to set up just now, he didn’t appear. Only when this Sniper felt it was safe and relaxed a bit did he suddenly unload a clip. The poor little Sniper had no reaction ability at all before being taken away.

[Hahaha this meow directly jumped out from the face, didn’t even have footsteps. Confirmed horror game.]

[Did KK stay hidden just now just to scare this Sniper?]

[Be confident, remove the “did.” KK is just bad.]

Xu Ziyan watched the whole process and clicked his tongue. “That Sniper is probably going to have nightmares tonight.”

“Hehe,” Bai Ke lifted his chin. “It’s time to let these Snipers taste my usual gaming environment.”

“When will retribution end?” Xu Ziyan said, “Why must Snipers make it hard for Snipers?”

Bai Ke said, “This really doesn’t sound like something said by someone who flanks to cut other Medics every day.”

Xu Ziyan: …

He was actually speechless.

Calculating carefully, he hadn’t touched Assaulter for more than half a year. Before, when his mentality collapsed from being pitted by teammates and cut by opponents, Xu Ziyan would play Assaulter to relax. Later, after joining the team, to stabilize his technique and improve, he hadn’t touched it.

Suddenly picking up Assaulter again now, and in front of so many people across four live streams… although the rank was low, he still felt a bit unconfident.

Xie Wei seemed determined to be a hands-off boss. He didn’t command, only occasionally calling out points, following him the whole time, lazily healing him, and chatting with the bullet comments on the side.

It looked like he wasn’t very focused, but in reality, whether it was the timing of using skills or survival positioning, Xie Wei did everything perfectly. Several times when Xu Ziyan was really nervous and positioned wrong, thinking he was going to die, Xie Wei actually forcefully saved him.

Xu Ziyan felt a bit at a loss at first, but later, influenced by Xie Wei, he slowly calmed down.

Originally, the viewers in the live stream were half curious and half worried seeing Ice play Assaulter. Quite a few were waiting to see a joke. There was no helping it; lacking honor and experience while being in a strong team, it was inevitable to be observed and nitpicked.

But contrary to their expectations, after calming down, Xu Ziyan’s positioning was steady. He dared to fight and charge. Clearly a Medic main, he wasn’t cowardly at all when playing Assaulter, and his aim was very accurate. Coordinating with Bai Ke from inside and outside, it was surprisingly entertaining to watch.

Bai Ke cleanly knocked the enemy Medic back to the respawn point with a melee attack and laughed. “As expected of God Ice. Back then in the Second String, the person with the most accurate Assaulter aim was you, right? Really not planning to switch classes?”

Xu Ziyan released the mouse, moved his wrist slightly, and chuckled upon hearing this. “My evaluation is, not even one finger’s worth of God K’s skill.”

Bai Ke clicked his tongue. “Why are you flattering me… Ah!”

Xu Ziyan jolted at his shout. Before he could ask the reason, a sniper rifle shot rang out from behind. The sound of the bullet tearing through the air passed, followed immediately by a kill notification.

[Uic0076 killed cyss]

Cyss was the enemy Assaulter’s ID.

Danger resolved, Bai Ke recovered and cursed, “This guy actually camped me on my flanking route! Too classless!”

This round of flanking went too smoothly, and time was nearing the end, so he was a bit lax and didn’t pay much attention to enemy movements. Who knew halfway through the path, while saying these words, a person suddenly popped out of the small hut nearby. Bai Ke was so scared his hand shook.

Fortunately, Bai Chen had been keeping an eye on his side and provided support in time.

Xu Ziyan thought you aren’t much classier than others, but outwardly agreed, “Indeed.”

After cursing, Bai Ke changed his tone and grinned again. “Good thing my brother is here, really reassuring. Why not just learn from FTK directly? God Xie and Ice locked, me and my brother locked.”

This sentence sounded fine at first listen, incidentally mentioning FTK as a remote interaction. It was just that Xu Ziyan knew Bai Ke’s feelings for Bai Chen. Hearing this, he didn’t know what reaction to give.

Bai Chen didn’t speak, and one couldn’t count on Xie Wei to detect the subtlety in the atmosphere. To avoid dead air, Xu Ziyan repeated again: “Indeed.”

[Ruthless “Indeed” machine.]

[Saying it’s perfunctory, yet Ice seems quite serious. Saying it’s serious, yet he seems quite perfunctory.]

[Contemporary contradictory literature.]

Fortunately, Bai Ke also knew his words were hard to follow up on. He smiled and quickly changed the topic.
