Chapter 123 Situation Unfavorable!

After seeing Sun Xiang execute the Box-1 on Su Mucheng, the professional players reached a very unified conclusion.

Random maps certainly require a lot of tactical adjustments based on the environment, but against unchanging opponents, some major strategic directions can still be predetermined.

Just like how Happy's intention to focus on Jiang Botao was revealed earlier, the current situation shows轮回's (Reincarnation's) overall strategy against Happy.

First, Ye Xiu. In the previous match, 轮回 (Reincarnation) used three against one, but Ye Xiu managed to hold out for a long time. So this time, they didn't concentrate their firepower to quickly eliminate Ye Xiu.

Tang Rou had just completed a one-versus-three in the individual competition, reversing Happy's disadvantage against 轮回 (Reincarnation), which was a significant blow to 轮回's (Reincarnation's) morale. However, at the start of the team competition, 轮回 (Reincarnation) didn't treat Tang Rou and her Hanyan Rou (Cold Smoke Rou) with any particular animosity; they simply faced them normally.

For Qiao Yifan, 轮回's (Reincarnation's) core player, Zhou Zekai, personally took action to limit him. This seemed more like an on-the-spot response. While limiting Qiao Yifan's Yicun Hui (Inch Ash), he also provided strong support to his own team. Zhou Zekai fully utilized his professional skills to perform dual-line operations.

As for Sun Xiang's Box-1 tactic against Su Mucheng, this seemed like a pre-arranged strategy. 轮回's (Reincarnation's) plan for this match was to keep Su Mucheng, the support master, out of the game.

However, 轮回's (Reincarnation's) tactics didn't stop there. There was still one person on Happy's side.

An Wenyi, Happy's healer, the priest Xiaoshou Bingliang (Little Cold Hands), was standing safely on the field.

The battle had fully unfolded, but when Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf and Wu Qi's Cruel Silence charged towards his Xiaoshou Bingliang (Little Cold Hands) and Su Mucheng's Muyu Chengfeng (Mu Rain Style), he already felt that something was wrong.

As a healer, he would always be the focus of attacks. When these two approached, he quickly retreated, seeking Su Mucheng's cover.

But soon he noticed that both Sun Xiang and Wu Qi's characters seemed to be charging towards Su Mucheng's Muyu Chengfeng (Mu Rain Style).

He was healing on the side, and he was using some priest control skills, but the two of them were guarding against his interference, only staring at Su Mucheng.

If it hadn't been for this two-person attack, how could Su Mucheng have been so easily pinned down? It was because of Wu Qi's help that Sun Xiang finally succeeded in establishing the Box-1 against Su Mucheng. And at this moment, Wu Qi ran off to support Jiang Botao without looking back.

An Wenyi, who already vaguely felt that something was wrong, felt his fingers turning icy at this moment.

He saw through 轮回's (Reincarnation's) tactics, which included 轮回's (Reincarnation's) attitude towards him.

All along, because he was considered Happy's weakness, he had repeatedly become the target of the opponent's key attacks in team competitions, and Happy had developed many routines based on this.

But today, in this final match that would determine the ultimate champion, An Wenyi suddenly realized that he was being ignored…

An Wenyi was always calm and rational, but this time, his emotions were greatly impacted. He accepted being seen as a weakness. He admitted that his skills, not to mention in the professional circle, even in Happy's team full of newcomers, were indeed not up to par.

But now, 轮回's (Reincarnation's) attitude was no longer treating him as a weakness, but completely ignoring him. When Sun Xiang and Wu Qi's characters approached, they were all charging towards Su Mucheng, not paying any attention to him. Now his Xiaoshou Bingliang (Little Cold Hands) was standing here, without any protection, but 轮回 (Reincarnation) had no intention of attacking him at all.

This attitude simply meant that his existence didn't matter, that this priest of his wouldn't affect the outcome of this match.

Was this contempt?

Or… was his value really just like this?

When he was a weakness, he could still be a point to attract the opponent's attack, thus becoming the center of a trap.

But now, in the eyes of the powerful 轮回 (Reincarnation), was he really as non-existent as if he didn't exist at all?

An Wenyi's fingers were icy, and his heart was also cold. He knew his shortcomings, knew that he probably didn't have much talent, but he didn't give up. He had been working hard, even if he became a well-known weakness, he would stand on the weakness to contribute to the team.

He looked calm on the surface, only because of his rationality, only because of his clear understanding of his own strength. He didn't just accept his fate. He had been working hard to prevent himself from being seen as a weakness.

So he had some brilliant performances, not as a pit or a trap, but as a priest. He even received recognition and praise from his idol, Zhang Xinjie, the Glory's number one priest. This made An Wenyi feel that his efforts were really not in vain, that he might no longer be a weakness, and that he might soon shine.

But now it seemed that this was not the case.

In the eyes of 轮回 (Reincarnation), the number one team in the league, he wasn't even a weakness. He was just a dispensable waste…

No one could feel the loss in An Wenyi's heart at this moment.

He had been working hard all the time, but in the end, was the gap still so far away? Was all the so-called progress just his wishful thinking? Was he still the most unbearable one?

"Happy's healer is a bit off." Zhang Xinjie, who always observed every detail on the field, was the first to notice this.

At this time, neither 轮回's (Reincarnation's) Fang Minghua nor Happy's An Wenyi, the two healers, were being harassed. But Happy couldn't spare the manpower to target the opponent's healer, while 轮回 (Reincarnation) had completely let go of Happy's healer. All the professional players could see this clearly.

"He seems… to not know what to do?" Lei Ting's (Thunderclap's) Xiao Shiqin said after observing Xiaoshou Bingliang's (Little Cold Hands) actions.

"He has been struggling to survive under high pressure all along. Now that he has been released by 轮回 (Reincarnation), has he become a little overwhelmed?" Wei Cao's (Tiny Herb's) Wang Jiexi speculated on An Wenyi's state of mind at this time.

They didn't guess An Wenyi's mood at this time. Because these great gods had never suffered such treatment as An Wenyi. Shortcomings, loopholes, stragglers, these words had never been related to them. Only those who, like him, had been ignored, had been treated coldly, and had not been valued could feel the grievance in An Wenyi's heart.

Hu Xiao's (Howling Heights') Tang Hao was smiling coldly. 轮回's (Reincarnation's) release made him very unhappy.

Lan Yu's (Blue Rain's) captain Yu Wenzhou also sighed and said, "He's psychologically affected."

Psychological blow?

Many people looked at each other. It was inevitable that Happy had some shortcomings in tactics, but when it came to psychological quality, this team, old and young, strong and weak, were all monsters. When had they ever seen them have psychological problems?

"轮回 (Reincarnation) gave An Wenyi a fatal blow…" Yu Wenzhou said.

"How do you say that?" Many people asked.

"Completely deny his value," Yu Wenzhou said.

Completely deny An Wenyi's value?

Everyone's eyes returned to the field. Seeing that the battle was becoming more and more intense, Happy was already at a disadvantage, and their healer's performance at this time was exceptionally clumsy. This performance was the legendary "pig teammate".

"There is indeed a problem, and it can only be a psychological problem." Many people nodded and said.

No matter how bad An Wenyi's level was, in this situation without interference, his judgment, his precise grasp of timing, coupled with his Xiaoshou Bingliang's (Little Cold Hands') high intelligence and high critical hit rate, were enough to become Happy's most solid backing. But now, he seemed to have completely lost his mind and didn't know what the team's strategy should be.

Psychological problems were always big problems.

Especially those who had always seemed to have a strong psychological quality and had never had problems, once problems arose, they were even more difficult to deal with.

An Wenyi lacked confidence because he was too rational. He rationally believed that his strength was not enough and should not have confidence. So he was cautious, and he was building up his confidence little by little. But in this battle, the final battle, the decisive battle, 轮回's (Reincarnation's) disregard completely shattered the confidence he had carefully built up, and completely destroyed the expectations he had so easily generated for himself.

He didn't know how to proceed, he needed help…

"Hey!"

A message popped up in Happy's channel at this time.

"Heal faster!" It was Ye Xiu speaking, seemingly just reminding An Wenyi to keep up with the rhythm.

"Don't think too much, you really can't be considered outstanding." Who would have thought that after that sentence, Ye Xiu suddenly said another sentence. This sentence, appearing at this time, in the eyes of the professional players off the field, was simply the perfect complement to 轮回's (Reincarnation's) release.

"This guy is crazy!"

"Is this fighting poison with poison?"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

"But…" A turning point appeared.

"Even if you are a piece of rotten grass, if you are tied to a Chinese mitten crab, then you are worth the price of a Chinese mitten crab!"

Everyone was stunned.

These words seemed to have some philosophy in them. It's just that this metaphor… also has some self-promotion. It's very clear what the Chinese mitten crab in the metaphor refers to. This person is really shameless. Does he know what humility is?

But An Wenyi was stunned after seeing these words.

Yes… even if he was rotten, he still had a group of gorgeous teammates by his side! Relying on their light, even if he only reflected a little bit, he wouldn't be so dim that he was ignored, right?

His skills were not as good as their healer's, and his grasp of the overall situation was definitely not as experienced as their Fang Minghua.

But even if what he did was only 10% of what their Fang Minghua could do, 10% that they thought was insignificant and could be ignored, maybe all Happy needed was this 10%, right?

No need to doubt, no need to be confused. Just do what he could do, and leave the rest to his teammates to solve! What was he thinking? Was he so used to being targeted as a weakness that he thought he was the core that the opponent needed to focus on?

It had never been like this!

He had always been the weakest member of the Happy team, always had been.

Fortunately, he had a group of very strong teammates.
