Hu Luo Bei knew that Pei Pei Ze had already received a championship trophy. He thought that Pei Pei Ze would retire soon after winning the championship. But he did not stop. Not only did he still fight awe-inspiring year after year, even after the game rules were revised and the team's results fell consistently. He persisted.
Hu Luo Bei didn't understand the reason behind his actions, so he asked.
Pei Pei Ze stared at Hu Luo Bei for a while. The other person's eyes were clean and clear, and when he asked "why", there was no other emotion, just simple curiosity.
Why? Because of his love for this game, because of the passion for the profession of thieves, because holding the keyboard and mouse in hand seems to allow him to dominate the entire wilderness world, because of the exhilaration in the heart when wearing the national flag...all of these together, all ties down to his the pursuit and desire for victory.
Pei Pei Ze opened his mouth, but he felt that all the descriptions he thought of pale in comparison to how he felt. What he wanted to tell Hu Luo Bei could not be expressed through language. It's a feeling hidden in the heart, one that unconsciously makes you want to chase it unconditionally.
He changed another method of explaining and simply asked: " Do you think Wilderness is fun?"
Hu Luo Bei thought seriously for a moment before answering: "Fun."
Pei Pei Ze chuckled lightly. Hu Luo Bei's definition of "fun" is really literally fun. His desire to win is very weak. When challenging the ranking boards, his attitude is rather indifferent. If he wins, he wins. If he loses, it's fine too. At most, he can fight harder the next time. Things. Although his mentality is stable, he lacks motivation. If one looks at the ranking history of the matches of Hu Luo Bei, you would rarely find him getting a comeback from a tough fight.
Pei Pei Ze can grasp Hu Luobei's psychology very accurately, so he is not worried about not being able to pull his little carrot onto his boat.
"Then allow me to take you to a more fun world, okay? Take it as doing a favour to help a dead player fulfil his dream of being a second-time champion."
Pei Pei Ze's tall body completely blocked the sunlight in front of Hu Luo Bei. If it is changed to someone else, Hu Luo Bei is not sure what will happen to him now-he is afraid of those who are taller than him. This is a problem that has always been suppressed in his heart, but never really eradicated-only Pei Pei Ze is the exception. Excluding the elders in the family, Pei Pei Ze was the only one who didn't let Hu Luo Bei feel afraid.
Hu Luo Bei may not care about winning or losing, but he will not refuse Pei Pei Ze who offered a serious request. With a different mentality compared to the time where Cheng Feng requested his help as a substitute player, he will do his best to cooperate with the team's training and competition. However, he will not attempt to integrate into the team. Of course, during Hu Luo Bei's time in AW, the management did not help him integrate with the team either.
Pei Pei Ze made up his mind. Since he was determined to take Hu Luo Bei into the e-sports industry, he wouldn't put him on the side of the road as a backup. The atmosphere in the LOBO team has always been very good. Maybe it's because everyone shares the same profession, the relationships are very harmonious. Pei Pei Ze had even figured out how to bring Hu Luo Bei around to get acquainted with everyone.
He used to think that since Hu Luo Bei likes to play games, he should just let him play games happily. It doesn't matter if he wins or loses, he doesn't care about the ladder points. But AW's sudden action made Hu Luo Bei unexpectedly enter the professional arena, and even put all the disgusting comments and criticism on Hu Luo Bei. Regardless of the disgusting public opinion guidance, Pei Pei Ze keenly caught Hu Luo Bei's unwillingness flashed by the bottom of his eyes when he lost the game. Maybe even Hu Luo Bei himself hadn't noticed that it was no longer an insignificant little annoyance, but a resolve to defeat his opponent.
Pei Pei Ze put his hands on Hu Luo Bei's shoulders: "Let's set a small goal first. For the All-Star competition at the end of the year, you will be in their rookie match. The AW team should also have a secondary team there. Let's take it slowly. We can let their secondary team kiss the ground first. Then during the normal match, we'll bury them beneath the ground, best if we bury them so deep that they won't even be able to enter the playoffs."
Hu Luo Bei: "...Regular season points cannot be controlled by a team. According to the current alliance strength, AW is still a regular visitor to the top 8."
Pei Pei ze's smile froze on his face: "Usually we don't have to be so strict when we are doing future imagination."
Hu Luo Bei tilted his head and replied, "Oh".
Pei Pei Ze waved his hand, "Forget it, don't think about the future. Let's go, I will take you to meet your new teammate."
The two calmed the three big dogs and returned to the villa.
Upon entering, they found Wang Explosion, Yan Le, and Yan Wei Ran and Yan Xin Ran brothers all looking at Hu Luo Bei.
Hu Luo Bei paused. He was not comfortable with such intense gazes. Pei Pei Ze's long legs blocked him from others view: "What are you looking at? What's so interesting? Ah Lu should have told you before, Beibei will be the healer of our team."
Yan Le asked: "Captain, BEI is really here as a healer?" Usually, when someone calls Pei Pei Ze captain, it means that it is a serious conversation.
Pei Pei Ze nodded: "That's right. You have played with the Bei Bei who used the warlock before. I can guarantee that his healing is better than the warlock. Of course,I know there is no convincing power through my words alone. I suggest that we have a pleasant round of 5V5?"
Nothing is more informative than watching his skills in operation.
As people with late-stage game addiction, upon hearing that there would be a battle, they immediately rushed to the training room on the second floor and got seated.
Pei Pei Ze pushed Hu Luo Bei to his desk and seated him down: "You sit here. The mouse and keyboard are both what you are familiar with. Adjust the sensitivity of the mouse yourself."
The current game industry has developed to the full application of the holographic mode. Only a few retro games are still using the traditional mouse and keyboard mode. The Wilderness is undoubtedly the most successful one out of all. However, there are also two modes in the game- one is screen mode and the other is the holographic mode. The former sees the game interface through the computer screen, while the latter enters the full-body holographic interface. The competition mostly uses the holographic mode. When it is inconvenient to use the holographic glasses, they would use full-body holographic mode. The screen mode is usually used only when the player is out or is online for a short time.
The layout of the training room is: Two long strip of tables, where the players of a team would sit face to face; a sofa and coffee table for resting at one end of the room; a hanging glass whiteboard and a small conference table at the other end. Pei Pei Ze's position was that in the middle of the window. Then the blackout curtain was pulled open, there were only a few wall lights on in the entire training room, making it look dim.
Lu Lu Sheng entered the door last and turned on the headlights of the room. When he looked up, he saw Yan Le and a few people sitting in position and squinting at Pei Pei Ze and Hu Luo Bei.
Hu Luo Bei seems to be adjusting the settings of the mouse and keyboard, the game interface is displaying the custom mode. Pei Pei Ze stood behind Hu Luo Bei, with both hands on the back of the gaming chair Bei was sitting on, watching him perform boring setting tests.
"Ah Lu." Wang Explosion saw Lu Lu Sheng and winked at him and greeted him. Wang Explosion sat diagonally across from Pei Pei Ze. Using his own screen as a shield, he quietly asked Lu Lu Sheng: "Did the sun come out from the west today? When did the boss become so patient?"
Lu Lu Sheng thought in his heart: "They have been friends since childhood, how could they not have any patience towards each other?" But he said: "Our Pei God has always treated teammates with noble morals and knowledge like a spring breeze." (T/N: I don't feel like I captured the essence of the idiom. So I shall leave the original sentence here if you want to look further into it.)
卢禄升心里想着："人家竹马竹马多少年，还能没有这么点耐心？"嘴上却说："我们霈神对待队友就是这么如沐春风。"
Pei God "Like a Spring Breeze"
The others showed a unified expression of "Alas——".
After Hu Luo Bei adjusted the equipment, Pei Pei Ze casually took a chair and sat beside him: "5v5, I'm not joining. You will enter the competition area for a game."
Wang Explosion exclaimed: " Lock as a commander?"
Pei Pei Ze smiled slightly: "Anything, I don't care about it."
Yan Xin Ran asked: "Then I can command it? I want to--"
"No." Yan Wei Ran vetoed: "I don't want to hear the endless orders of gather, gather, gather and withdraw, withdraw, withdraw."
Everyone put on the holographic glasses and entered the full-body holographic mode.
Yan Le gathered everyone together. Hu Luo Bei saw the unified LOBO- on their account ID, hesitated for a moment, bought a renamed card, and deleted the AW on his ID.
Pei Pei Ze turned his head and smiled: "How wasteful, why didn't you just type the prefix of LOBO directly?"
Hu Luobei moved his ears: "The World Championship has not yet started." The transfer period is after the World Championship, although he and AW's contract cancellation is basically known to the entire e-sports circle. The teams that did not enter the semi-final playoff would usually not discuss transfer matters at this time. The organizing committee also does not manage it strictly, giving away some leeway. But Hu Luobei still thinks that it is better to keep a low profile at this point.
The competitions zone in the wilderness is not exclusively used for competitions. It is used by the different professional teams in order to practice their skills and tactics. The winning scores here are not counted in the rankings board When practice matches are not scheduled, Players often queue for JJC in the competition area because their high ranking led to a longer opponent matching time. This is also a hot spot for live broadcasts. Compared to watching professionals owning everyone, they prefer a fierce battle between the professional gamers. Furthermore, the matching time is not only short, but it allows them to play continuously. (T/N: JJC = 竞技场 = Arena)
Yan Le gathered his team and lined up at the arena to register with the NPC.
Hu Luobei took the opportunity to observe his teammates while queuing. LOBO-Lock, is Yan Le, the team's sub-carry position. The character used is a drow, a professional thief. The playstyle is the same as the assassins job branch, like Pei Pei Ze's. LOBO-Boom, Wang Explosion, his real name is Wang Bo Wen. His role in the team is to control the field, the character is a dwarf, profession: thief, and specializes in traps. At the present, he holds the first title for thieves that uses traps. The IDs of the two brothers Yan Wei Ran and Yan Xin Ran are LOBO-WEI and LOBO-XIN respectively. Everyone in e-sports jokingly calls them the WeChat brothers. The characters of the two are a pair of little demons who look identical. Only the colour of the wings are different;one is red and the other blue. The older brother has red wings, and the younger brother has blue wings. Both Yan Wei Ran and Yan Xin Ran belong to the stealth job branch, but their positioning in the team is not clear. They change depending on the needs. The elder brother specializes in crowd control, and the younger brother mainly specializes in damage dealing, and occasionally plays the harasser. (T/N: WeChat in Chinese is 微信 (Wei Xin). It has a similar pronunciation to the name of the brothers.)
In Wilderness, all character races can be chosen by the player themselves, and they do not carry attributes. The only difference is in terms of appearance. Hu Luobei's own priest character has the race of the light elves. It dons a gorgeous ceremonial robe and holds a staff that emits golden stars in his hand. Amongst a group of thieves with a dark appearance, it's really...extraordinarily conspicuous.
As he was wondering if he should change the appearance of his character, a prompt to enter the arena jumped out in front of his eyes. Hu Luobei gave up the idea of changing and pressed the confirmation key.
