Chapter 115-116
Chapter 115 Pre-competition training camp
Li Cangyu returned to the Changsha Dragon Yin Esports Club at about ten o'clock that night.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, no one in the team is there, Li Cangyu returned to the dormitory alone, Uncle Zhang, Xiao Gu and Xiao Han did not come back, and the dormitory seemed a little empty.
Li Cangyu simply sorted out his luggage, returned to the bed after taking a shower, and found that his mobile phone was on, and an unread text message was displayed on the screen: "Have you arrived?" β
A simple greeting made Li Cangyu's heart warm slightly.
It's good to have a boyfriend! When I got to the dormitory, I could still be cared for by him.
Li Cangyu immediately typed and replied: "I just arrived, and I was alone in the dormitory." β
Ling Xuefeng said: "Pay attention to safety and go to bed early." β
Li Cangyu smiled and said, "Well, I'm getting ready to sleep, good night." β
Ling Xuefeng: "Good night." β
The text message exchange before going to bed made Li Cangyu feel very down-to-earth, and soon a wave of sleepiness hit him, and he fell asleep with peace of mind.
This sleep lasted until dawn, Li Cangyu finished washing, and was about to go downstairs to buy some breakfast, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Bai Xuan standing at the door of the opposite door with his suitcase, and was about to take out the key to open the door.
Li Cangyu said in surprise: "Are you back?" β
Bai Xuan, who heard the voice, turned his head and said with a smile: "I sent you a text message, and when you come back in the second year of junior high school, didn't you see it?" β
"See." Li Cangyu said, "I thought you only arrived at night, why did you come here so early?" β
"Anyway, my parents went out to pay New Year's greetings, and it's not interesting for me to stay at home alone, so I just come back to help you." Bai Xuan smiled and said, "Why do you seem to be very unwelcome?" β
With the gentle smile of the man in front of him, Li Cangyu's heart was suddenly very moved.
Bai Xuan has always been his most trusted right-hand man, and if it weren't for Bai Xuan's help, he would definitely have had a harder time in the past few years. They have known each other for many years, childhood sweethearts, struggling together, Bai Xuan looks gentle and good-tempered, and his personality is actually as tenacious as him, so he has been able to go all the way to the present, even if he has stomach problems, he has insisted on staying.
Li Cangyu stretched out his hand and patted Bai Xuan's shoulder gently, and sighed: "Don't say thank you, it's okay for you to come back." β
At this moment, a laughing voice suddenly came from the side: "Cat God, Deputy Bai, are you all back?" β
It seems to be Ah Shu's voice?
Bai Xuan looked back and happened to meet Xie Shurong's bright smile.
This guy is wearing a long gray coat, slim trousers, and a scarf of the same color around his neck, which sets off his figure more and more tall and straight, and he is already handsome, so he has an outstanding temperament, and his smile is simply a typical sao bao Xiao Xian meat.
He was younger than himself, taller than himself, and more handsome than himselfβwhat a man could be more popular than himself.
Xie Shurong saw that Deputy Bai was looking himself up and down, and said with a smile: "Do you think I've become handsome?" β
Bai Xuan was speechless: "Have you also learned to boast?" β
Xie Shurong came over and stretched out his arms, gave him a big bear hug, and said, "Happy New Year!" β
- The captain's aura was too strong, and he didn't dare to hug him, so he had to hug the gentle and good-natured vice captain.
The strange thing is that the vice captain was very soft in his arms, and Xie Shurong hugged him tightly with a smile, a little unwilling to let go.
Bai Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "Why did you come back so early?" β
Xie Shurong rubbed his chin on the shoulder of the white deputy team with some grievances, and said: "My parents are both kitchen killers, they can only cook dark dishes, I have been at home for a week, and my stomach is really unbearable...... It's still the team's food is good, I've been thinking about you so much these days, and I want you to make me delicious! β
Bai Xuan was amused by his reason and said, "If you are such a big person, remember to eat it." β
Xie Shurong said confidently: "Appetite is human nature, and Deputy Bai's cooking skills are so good, I can't resist!" β
Bai Xuan said: "Okay, don't be poor, put your luggage away, let's go to breakfast first." β
"Good!"
Bai Xuan took out the key and opened the door, and the two of them entered the house to put down their luggage, then turned around and went downstairs with Li Cangyu to have breakfast.
***
Although the food court opposite the first day of the Lunar New Year has not yet opened, there are many small shops around, and the three of them went to the roadside stalls to eat some soy milk buns.
After eating breakfast and returning to the dormitory together, Li Cangyu simply came to Bai Xuan and Xie Shurong's residence opposite, and brought the data USB flash drive and laptop with him.
He came back early, mainly to carefully study the rules of the new competition system, as well as the situation of the second division team, and the three of them discussed in detail in the dormitory for a day, and finally sorted out all the key contents.
In the evening, Uncle Zhang, who opened a local training studio, also came, and the four old players met in the dormitory, and Li Cangyu asked about the training of the young people brought by everyone.
Zhang Cianming replied: "Xiao Gu's current level is not a big problem to go directly to the field, however, this kid is a typical radical player, and when he arrives at the field, he will definitely rush forward like a chicken blood, and it is no problem to deal with the weak team. β
"Well, Xiao Gu's foundation is the best of the four, and he will have more experience in the game in the future, I believe he can calm down when necessary, and it's not a good thing to be too impulsive." Li Cangyu paused, and then asked, "What about Xiao Jiang?" β
Li Xiaojiang is tutored one-on-one by Bai Xuan, and the advantages and disadvantages of this teenager are very obvious - the advantage is that he is very calm and steady, no matter how fierce the opponent is, he still fights slowly and slowly, and is not in a hurry at all. But the downside is that his style of play is not too variable, and it is always a slow style that is easy to target.
Thinking of this, Bai Xuan smiled and said: "Xiao Jiang has studied very seriously during this time, but his hand speed is low, and the room for improvement is very limited, I asked him to stabilize the original style of play, and it is also a characteristic to be able to play the slow-paced style of play to the extreme, and then look at the lineup to cooperate." β
Li Cangyu nodded, the worst foundation among these teenagers is undoubtedly Li Xiaojiang, but fortunately, Li Xiaojiang is very diligent, even if he is a slow snail, he has been working hard to climb forward, and he will never fall behind, which is actually not easy.
Xie Shurong took the initiative to say: "Zhuo Hang has made rapid progress, he knows a lot about e-sports, I think he seems to have received guidance from e-sports masters before, and he also knows a lot about the Miracle League, I am a little curious about his origin." β
Li Cangyu was actually very curious about this, Zhuo Hang's confidence when he came to Mao Sui to recommend himself, and his calmness when he fought with professional gods, was not something that ordinary folk masters could do.
"I'll talk about it when he comes back." Li Cangyu smiled, and continued, "Xiao Han's progress is also quite fast, when they arrive, I will give them a stage training assessment, if the assessment is qualified, you can take everyone into the arena to try team battles." β
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After all, training is a step-by-step process, and the four young boys first train their personal level to a relatively stable state, and then cooperate with the team battle, so as not to drag the team back.
***
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, four young boys also arrived at the team.
Li Xiaojiang carried a large bag of duck necks on his back and stammered: "My brother asked me to bring it, the duck and duck ...... from Wuhan."
Seeing that his face was flushed when he said a word, and he couldn't say it completely, Zhuo Hang couldn't help but take the initiative to help him answer: "Wuhan's duck neck is it!" I know, it's quite famous, so I'll give it to everyone to taste. β
Li Xiaojiang glanced at him gratefully and immediately gave him a packet.
Xiao Gu also rushed over and grabbed it: "Mine mine, I want it too." β
Li Xiaojiang shared food for everyone, and Li Cangyu asked the little teenagers to sit down around the table and said, "Turn on your mobile phones and land in the Q group of the Canglan team." β
Everyone thought that the captain had something important to announce, and immediately took out their mobile phones in unison.
Li Cangyu stuffed a New Year's password red envelope in the group.
"Happy New Year, the vicissitudes will win!"
As soon as the password red envelope popped up, everyone immediately began to grab it like crazy.
Xiao Gu was the most active, and pressed the red envelope very quickly with his hand, but only grabbed ...... $1.
Zhuo Hang followed closely and grabbed 19 yuan.
Xiao Han grabbed 25 yuan.
Li Xiaojiang, who was slow, was the last to make a move, but grabbed the biggest - 55 yuan.
The 100 yuan red envelope was randomly divided into 4 parts, and Gu Siming, who only grabbed 1 yuan, was not convinced: "Why am I so little!" β
Li Xiaojiang said happily: "It's the first time I've grabbed such a big red envelope. β
This guy was obviously excited, and the word "big" was repeated several times, Li Cangyu smiled and rubbed his head, and said: "Slow action does not necessarily get bad ones, and fast actions do not necessarily get good ones, I'll send you a few more to grab to play." β
At this time, Bai Xuan was preparing dinner in the kitchen, Xie Shurong was actively washing the vegetables for him, and Uncle Zhang was sitting on the sofa watching the fierce anti-Japanese war blockbuster, and from time to time there was the sound of machine gun fire.
Li Cangyu took four little milk cats to play the game of grabbing red envelopes in the restaurant, and when he looked up, Bai Xuan in the kitchen had already started to stir-fry, Ah Shu followed behind to do chores, Uncle Zhang in the living room watched TV with relish, and the four little teenagers sat side by side at the dining table, looking up at Li Cangyu, with a face full of anticipation, as if to say "The cat god sends another one".
With so many good teammates getting together, Li Cangyu's mood suddenly improved, and he generously sent another big red envelope in the Q group, the more the little teenagers grabbed it, the more excited they became, Li Cangyu patted Xiao Han's shoulder and said, "Qin Mo is lying to you to give the apprentice a red envelope, and Ling Xuefeng is also giving a red envelope to the team." β
Xiao Han nodded thoughtfully: "Oh! β
Li Cangyu said: "Come on gun." β
As he spoke, he sent another 100 yuan, and the four people immediately rushed to grab it.
ββChinese New Year, giving out red envelopes is just for good luck, this money is not much, the children are happy.
***
Soon, Bai Xuan brought a table of sumptuous meals, of course, Li Cangyu's favorite fish.
Everyone gathered at a table for a reunion dinner.
At the dinner, everyone gave full play to the true colors of the foodie squad - chopsticks are weapons, the dining table is the battlefield, and the meal has to be robbed, and it will be gone if you take a slow step.
The pork ribs and chicken wings were quickly snatched up, of course the fish was carried in front of him by Li Cangyu, and Li Xiaojiang, who was in slow motion, had a completely "how could this be" expression, and when he came back to his senses, there was no food left!
Bai Xuan couldn't help but laugh, secretly brought a small bowl to the slow guy, and said, "I left you an extra meal, otherwise you will definitely not be able to eat enough to grab something from this group of foodies." β
Li Xiaojiang glanced at Deputy Bai gratefully, and silently took a small bowl to eat by himself - this look of eating obediently is really like a poor stray cat who can't intervene in the cat war.
Bai Xuan looked at the picture of a group of people flying sideways with chopsticks to grab food, and pressed his temples helplessly.
The team's painting style was really distorted by the cat god......
But the strange thing is that looking at this scene, his heart suddenly felt very warm.
When eight people get together, it's like a big happy family.
Starting tomorrow, everyone will enter the intense training stage, and what awaits them in the future is still unpredictable. But Bai Xuan believed that under the leadership of the powerful captain of the cat god, as long as everyone worked together, the Canglan team would definitely be able to ride the wind and waves and overcome obstacles and establish a firm foothold in the masterful miracle alliance.
He is looking forward to these four young boys really growing up and becoming the brightest new stars of Season 7!

Chapter 116: Season 7 opens
On the morning of the fourth day of junior high school, Li Cangyu took all the team members to the team's training room, turned on the computer, and asked the four young men to line up to accept their own tests.
As discussed with Bai Xuan and them yesterday, the four little guys have made rapid progress, and they have completed the basic training task of consolidating hand speed and flexible movement in the first stage, and they are finally entry-level e-sports players.
Then there's the focus of the training: coordination.
ββNo matter how strong you are, if you can't cooperate with your teammates, that's for nothing.
Li Cangyu decided to take the four teenagers to the cross-server arena to fight team battles to train their ability to cooperate with their teammates and obey team commands.
Since you want to fight a team battle, you must understand the rules of team battle thoroughly.
Li Cangyu first turned on the man-machine training mode, took the four little boys into the simple team battle map of the city square, and carefully explained the marks on the map.
"The new format is actually quite simple to understand, our ultimate goal is to destroy the white crystal in the center of the map, and whoever destroys the white crystal first wins. The White Crystal is like a boss hidden there, and in order to get close to it, you must first destroy the outer towers and kill the Ice and Fire Phoenix that protects it in the middle. β
"At the beginning of the game, we wore the most basic equipment, and it would be very difficult to rush to fight crystals, so we need to go to the four field areas in the southeast, northwest and northwest to fight some monsters and save money to buy more powerful equipment."
"There are three kinds of wild monsters, one is an ordinary mob, which only drops money. There is also a blue mob that will continue to return to blue for a period of time after being killed. The red mob will continue to regenerate health after being killed, which is equivalent to bringing its own daddy. β
"5 minutes after the start of the game, an ice dragon will be spawned in the field, and killing the ice dragon will increase the team's economy by 10,000 gold coins, and you can buy equipment freely. Brush up the fire dragon in 10 minutes, and after killing it, it will increase the attack power of the whole group by 200%. The ice dragon and the fire dragon can't be defeated by themselves, so they must start a group to fight, which is also an important resource for the two sides to compete for, and they must obey the command of the team when the time comes. β
Several teenagers listened with blank expressions.
In the old competition system, there was no such thing as blue monsters, red monsters, ice dragons, fire dragons, etc., as long as the two sides met for a wave of team battles, the one who was alive won the crystal even if he won it, which was simple and rude.
The new format is obviously much more complex, but it's also more interesting.
Zhuo Hang said: "This is very similar to the previous lol, in fact, it is very easy to understand, before fighting the boss white crystal, we have to make some preparations first, in the early stage of brushing the monsters in the wild to fight the ice dragon to make money, and when the money earned is enough to buy some good equipment, we will go to push the tower to get the crystal." If you don't have confidence in the team's attack power, you can also kill the fire dragon in the field to increase the attack power of the whole group by 200%, so that it is easier to take down the boss - the ice dragon team gives money, and the fire dragon team adds attack, which is an important resource for the two sides to compete for in the early stage, right? β
When Li Cangyu heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Xiao Zhuo, has anyone in your family played an e-sports game?" β
"Hmm." Zhuo Hang said with a smile, "There are people in my family who are e-sports players. β
He obviously didn't want to go into details, so Li Cangyu didn't ask any more questions, glanced at him appreciatively, and said: "Xiao Zhuo summed it up very well, the new competition system is actually a process of paving the way to accumulate and then kill the boss, everyone must have enough patience, especially when brushing monsters in the early stage, don't be in a hurry, today we will train the method of splitting the way to brush monsters - we must learn how to kill the most monsters with the least consumption." β
Fortunately, the major teams are now very unfamiliar with the new format, and everyone is on the same starting line, which is relatively fairer.
Li Cangyu himself is also in a state of groping while playing, such a competition system, tactical ideas will be more complex and changeable, if he can't keep up with the rhythm of the league's upgrading, he will definitely be eliminated by the league, so he can't relax for a moment.
***
That afternoon, Li Cangyu took his teammates to familiarize themselves with the map of the new competition system, and also discovered some important patterns.
The ice dragon with money and the fire dragon with attack are all in a fixed position to refresh the coordinates, and there is generally a big pit around, as if to say: I dug a pit for you, and if you are not afraid of death, you will come and kill me.
If the whole group jumps into this kind of big pit, it is easy to be wiped out by the other party!
Therefore, whether to kill the dragon or not, the captain must consider the current situation.
Maybe it's an advantageous game, and when the brain is hot, he goes to fight the dragon, but he is wiped out by the opponent's backsquat, which is simply the most popular sentence in the arena - the big dragon ruined his life!
For example, no matter what kind of map, blue monsters will only spawn in the east-west jungle, while red monsters will only spawn in the north-south jungle, which will create a series of butterfly effects.
Professions that are prone to lack blue, such as mage healing, will definitely snatch the blue monster. And the melee profession of Swordsman Berserker, in order to protect itself, may be more inclined to snatch red monsters to add blood to themselves.
In the snatching of wild mobs, the two sides are likely to meet alone, or they may meet in teams of two or three, which will inevitably break out into some skirmishes.
Whether it's heads-up ability in the field or teamwork ability, it must stand the test in the new format.
Only a team with strong comprehensive strength can move towards the final victory.
Although the new format is a little complicated, the more Li Cangyu researches, the more enthusiastic he feels - he is looking forward to showing his strength in the new Season 7, and he still has a lot of tactical ideas that he has not used, maybe it will come in handy!
***
Time flies very fast, just more than 30 days of high-intensity training, so that the players of the Canglan team are gradually familiar with the new competition system, and now, Li Cangyu casually asked about the refresh time and refresh point of various mobs, and everyone answered it fluently, and they will never make a mistake again.
The teenagers also put a lot of effort into the memory of the special equipment in the arena store, especially the pages and rows of the equipment they commonly use, and the number of critical hit rates and the hidden skill effects that can be triggered...... The four little boys all remember it clearly!
The little milk cats are so powerful, Zhang Jue understands that the old players such as Xuan and Xie Shurong are naturally embarrassed to fall behind, although Li Cangyu did not explain that they carry equipment, but the three of them also consciously went through all kinds of equipment in their minds.
Seeing that the opening ceremony of Season 7 is getting closer and closer, everyone is excited and a little nervous at the same time.
Li Cangyu is very calm, training during the day, watching some videos of the new competition system recorded by netizens at night, studying and studying tactics, and then chatting with Ling Xuefeng and blowing water, it looks very relaxed.
In fact, he was also a little nervous, after all, he hadn't been in the miracle arena for a long time!
It wasn't until the end of February that Li Cangyu received a call from the official event committee of the miracle, asking him to take all the team members to the competition uniform registration information and complete the registration.
There are many teams in the Miracle League II, as long as the teams that pass the online assessment of the GuΓ² League can participate.
The regular season of the Second Division will not be played in a home-and-away rotation, but the organising committee will designate a home stadium where all matches will be played.
In the seventh season of this year, the main stadium was chosen in Guangzhou, which is just close to Changsha.
On February 27th, Li Cangyu greeted his boss Liu Chuan and took the team members to Guangzhou by high-speed train.
After checking in to the official hotel, Li Cangyu went to the person in charge of the competition committee and contacted the time, and then took everyone to the site to register the information and confirm their identities.
In addition to the Canglan team, there are other new teams that have also registered here, and the room is very lively.
The staff in charge of reception at the front desk said politely, "Hello, please enter the ID of the professional player you want to register, your real name and ID number, and submit it after confirming that it is correct." β
Li Cangyu quickly typed it into the computer next to him.
When the girl saw that the ID he submitted was an old cat, she couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Hey, you are the cat god!" β
This sentence attracted the onlookers of the team next to him, and a group of people immediately gathered around: "The cat god has an autograph!" "Cat God, you are also here to play in the second division, I feel like we will all be abused by you and cry!" "That's it, the level of the cat god can go to the World Series to be a military division, and he also came to the second division, it's really a bit ...... talented."
Li Cangyu said with a smile: "You're polite, I haven't played a game for several years, so I have to start from scratch." β
Although the level of these players in the second division league is not as good as that of the eight giant teams, they are also young people who work hard for their dreams, and Li Cangyu will not look down on them because of their weak level.
Happily signed a lot of autographs for them, Li Cangyu then turned back to see the registration status of his teammates.
Uncle Zhang's registered ID is "Cassia", which is the ID he used in the first season, and he reactivated, perhaps to prove himself. Bai Xuan's registered ID is "White Fox", Xie Shurong does not use the "tree" when playing in the United States, and changes to the Chinese character "A Shu" according to local customs. β
The other four little teenagers, Xiao Han registered the customary nickname "Xiaohan", Gu Siming is still "as the name suggests", Li Xiaojiang registered a "snail crawls slowly", and Zhuo Hang is a handsome "big navigator".
After all the IDs were registered, the faces of several teenagers were obviously excited.
The ID of the game uniform is the logo of the professional player, which cannot be repeated, and will be bound to the identity card of the person, even if the transfer cannot be changed, once registered, it will usually accompany them throughout their career.
With an official registration ID, they finally become real pros!
Li Cangyu used the name Oldcat in the first season because the team at that time also happened to be the English name of FTD. Three years ago, the FTD team was disbanded, and all information about OLDCAT has been completely erased by the miracle competition uniform, and now, he led the Canglan team back again, and also changed back to the Chinese name Lao Mao, starting a new journey.
Looking back at Bai Xuan, looking at Bai Xuan's slightly moist eyes, Li Cangyu knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but gently pat him on the shoulder and whispered, "We're back." β
Bai Xuan smiled and sighed, "Yes...... Changed the name, changed the team, changed the teammates...... It's back again. β
Li Cangyu said calmly: "This time there will be a different ending." β
It's no longer a disgraced team to leave, nor is it a sad and helpless watch the team disband.
This time, they will definitely change the ending - Li Cangyu firmly believes.
