Chapter Twenty-Five: Choice
"Self-esteem-inflicted fool!" Li Ying, who was leaning on Han Feng's chest, muttered quietly. Although she despised Ouyang and the others very much, she was so easily fooled by Han Feng, but it was undeniable that the morale of the team had indeed risen greatly since Han Feng had done this, and the pressure brought to them by the strength of Qingteng had also been greatly reduced.
That's why the captain is Han Feng, not Wen Ya, who handles everything properly. Because, although Han Feng doesn't care about things, he can easily raise the morale of the team at certain moments. If you want to change Wenya, although you can handle everything well, you can't do it easily.
For a team, the captain is more of a flag-like role. As long as the captain is still there, the people in the team will have the will to fight, and this is the irreplaceable role of being the captain. As for the affairs of the team, they can be handed over to others to handle on their behalf. Only the aspect of boosting morale cannot be replaced by others.
"It's a little stupid, but it's not annoying, isn't it?" Han Feng whispered in Li Ying's ear. "Sometimes, all people want is an excuse. No matter how bad the excuse is, as long as you can give yourself some hope, it is enough. No matter whether you succeed or not, as long as you do your best, you will not leave regrets!"
"It's so itchy······" The hot breath exhaled by Han Feng sprayed in Li Ying's ears, making her pipes itch for a while, and she involuntarily shrunk her neck.
"I said, have you two hugged enough?" Wen Ya looked at the two of them with a smile and teased. "If that's not enough, it's okay for us to avoid it first. ”
"Ah!" Li Ying realized how ambiguous her and Han Feng's movements were. With a flushed face, she hurriedly pushed Han Feng away, and then lowered her head and didn't dare to look at anyone, her two hands only cared about pulling the corners of her clothes. The shy little girl's posture was brightened by everyone's eyes.
"Ahem!" Han Feng is a man after all, and his skin is relatively thick. He pretended to cough lightly twice, and then discussed daily tactics with Mu Zidong and them casually. Glancing at Ouyang and Lan Tianyu's two living treasures, he simply chose to ignore them and directly treated them as if he hadn't seen anything.
Judging from the information collected by Zidong, the Qingteng team must have worked hard in the seven-on-seven team battle. After Mu Zidong finished speaking the information he had gathered, Han Feng frowned slightly. "The cooperation between them is really good, even if you want to use the method of attribute restraint to defeat them, I'm afraid it will not be an easy task. ”
"That's right!" Ouyang, who had been grinning all the time, also became very solemn. "Fire magic has long been known as the nemesis of wood magic. The Blazing Academy, which was defeated by them this time, was the academy I attended, and I knew their strength very well. Their captain, who is a little more skilled in fire magic than I am. The strength of the other people is at most between me and the middle. There are three fire mages on their team, which is much more than us. However, they don't have the ability to use their attributes to win, and I don't think I can do anything that none of the three of them can do. ”
"This doesn't work, it doesn't work, then how are we going to fight?" Lan Tianyu stared at Ouyang and roared irritably. "Is it possible that if you want us not to fight directly, just admit defeat?"
"Who said not to fight?" Ouyang directly pushed back, and his tone was also very impulsive. "What I'm saying is the truth, what does it have to do with whether or not I fight?"
"Okay!" When it comes to business, Han Feng is still very proud and responsible. He burst into a shout and stopped the dispute between Ouyang and Lan Tianyu. "Since you can't think of how to restrain the Ivy League, don't think about it. The biggest difference between us and them is that our cooperation is not as good as theirs. If you have time to study other people's weaknesses here, you might as well hone in on them. At least, that's more reliable. ”
"I don't agree!" Wen Ya, who had always kept pace with Han Feng, shook his head and rejected his opinion. "Zidong also said just now that Qingteng's strength does not lie in their strength, but more in their cooperation. They must have been preparing for a long time for this annual competition, and we couldn't catch up with them for a while. If we insist on working with them as a team, it is tantamount to attacking the enemy's strengths with our own shortcomings, and it is likely that we will end up with a complete defeat. So, in this game, what we have to do is how to play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. ”
"Take your own shortcomings, attack the enemy's strengths?······ Promote strengths and avoid weaknesses?" Han Feng muttered in a low voice. At the same time as Wen Ya spoke, a spiritual light flashed in Han Feng's mind like a thunderbolt. When he thought about it, he couldn't think of anything.
In the dark, he had a feeling that that the thought that had passed through him could solve the dilemma they were facing. Han Feng frowned, thinking hard, trying to catch the flash of light in his mind!
"If we can drag them into individual battles, then our chances are much better. Ouyang sighed.
"Who doesn't know!" Lan Tianyu glanced at Ouyang and said angrily. "Do you think those guys in Qingteng are all brainless fools? Can we think of it, can't the blazing people think of it? In the previous game, the reason why they chose individual battles was to paralyze the others and catch everyone off guard. They are also aware of their shortcomings and strengths, and must have figured out how to deal with them. If you want to drag them into a personal battle, I'm afraid it's not so easy!"
"Otherwise, what else?" Ouyang's tone became irritable. "Do you have a team battle with them in a proper way? Then the difficulty of our victory is not ordinary!"
"I thought of it!" Han Feng slapped Ouyang on the shoulder hard, but it scared Ouyang who was chattering enough.
"How... What's wrong?what's going on?" Ouyang was terrified. "Is Old Xu here?"
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but purse their lips and snicker. They all knew that Xu Lao hated the behavior of cowardice before a fight the most. If he heard what he said just now, it would be another lesson. Everyone else is okay to say, but Ouyang, who has a detached personality, is the most afraid and hates Xu Lao's preaching.
"Whew... , it turns out that it's not!" After looking around, Ouyang was relieved to find that the old Xu he imagined did not appear. "Hey, Han Feng, do you know that scaring people can scare people to death?" Seeing that everyone else was snickering, Ouyang glared at Han Feng angrily.
"Haha..." Han Feng lowered his head, his shoulders shrugged, and finally managed to hold back a smile. "I'm sorry! Ouyang! I just thought of something suddenly, and I was a little excited. It's just..." He glanced at Ouyang innocently, and almost couldn't help laughing out loud. "I didn't expect your reaction to be so big!"
"You..." Ouyang wanted to refute when he opened his mouth, but he couldn't think of what to say. I can't say that I am afraid of being preached by Xu Lao, so I will react so much.
"Hahahaha·····" Everyone who was originally just snickering, hearing Han Feng's words that they didn't know whether it was an apology or a teasing, looked at Ouyang's helpless and aggrieved appearance, and couldn't help laughing out loud anymore.
Ouyang looked at these bad friends, and he wanted to cry without tears. Why do you want to listen to Han Feng's words to drum up some team? Come on, this is not easy to drum up, but he has become the one who is bullied by everyone. What especially made him feel depressed was that Lan Tianyu, who had been a brother to him since he was a child, was the one who laughed the most among everyone.
"Ahem!" in order to get out of the embarrassing situation in front of him, no longer become the laughing stock of these guys. Ouyang pretended to cough lightly twice and decisively changed the topic. "That's right, Han Feng. You said you thought of something, did you think of something?"
"Oh, you're talking about this!" Of course, Han Feng could see that Ouyang wanted to change the topic and climb down the pole. However, he didn't mean to expose it, but followed Ouyang's words and gave him a decent step. "I suddenly had an idea, a very interesting idea. Perhaps, it can make us less passive when we play against the Ivy League. ”
There were all smart people present, and what Han Feng could see, they could naturally think of. Like Han Feng, they also had no intention of exposing Ouyang's little trick. At the end of the day, they are teammates, partners, not enemies with deep hatred.
It's okay to make inconsequential jokes once in a while, and appropriate jokes will boost relationships between teammates. However, we must learn to grasp a degree, and we must learn how to stop in moderation. Some jokes are too late, and they will create a gap that can no longer be bridged. Therefore, they are very attentive to this point to avoid unnecessary contradictions.
Originally, they thought that Han Feng's "thinking of one thing" was just an excuse to joke with Ouyang. I never thought that Han Feng really didn't mean to make fun of Ouyang this time.
"Think about it, what is the biggest advantage of the Ivy League? It's their cooperation, right? Han Feng pretended to smirk. "In other words, as long as we can make it impossible for them to work together, we will have a much better chance of winning. ”
"Nonsense! Who doesn't know this!" Ouyang was angry about what Han Feng had just made a fool of. At this time, when he saw Han Feng say such stupid words, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Not only us, but all the teams know this, even the Blazing Academy, which was defeated by them today. However, the problem is how to make these guys in the Ivy League College unable to exert the power of coordinated operations. ”
Although Ouyang said it very politely, he actually had no malicious intent. just took the opportunity to make Han Feng make a good fool of himself, let himself breathe, and feel more balanced.
Of course, Han Feng knows what kind of character Ouyang is, if he doesn't look at his age, this thing is just a bear child! For people like Ouyang, the best thing to do is to ignore them. If you ignore him, he'll only get more and more fussy. On the contrary, if you ignore him and make him feel bored, you will naturally not have the heart to continue messing around.
"Otherwise, what else can we do?" Rolling his eyes, Han Feng had a look of "you can't teach your sons". "We have so little time left. If we have enough time to train, we are confident that we can win even if we play a team battle with them head-on. But now, we only have one night left, and we can only have a chance of winning if we are in danger. ”
"What does this have to do with the danger of the soldiers?" Ouyang did not relent. "Planning and then acting is the best policy!"
"Of course I know what you're saying!" Han Feng ignored Ouyang's explicit provocation. "Do you want to compete with them as a team? If we fight against the odds, we are likely to lose in the end, or even lose completely. But. We have at least a slight chance of winning. On the other hand, if we choose to play steady, we will lose at best a less ugly one. If you want to win, that's simply not possible. ”
Hearing Han Feng's explanation, everyone was silent!
They all understood that although what Han Feng said was not good, it was a real truth. Whether you want to fight against the odds, or whether you want to lose decently, it's time to make a choice.
