It was close to noon.
Lin Feng reckoned that the first challenger wouldn't arrive so soon, so the five of them sat in the arena area in the middle of the lobby and started a training session with each other.
As for the boss of the internet cafe, Qian Lu, he stood to the side with a smile on his face and was in charge of greeting the regular customers of the nearby internet cafe. Right now, he was quite confident in Lin Feng and the others. It just so happened that he could let the customers of his internet cafe experience a little of the strength of his resident team in advance.
In the arena, Lin Feng's group of five sat in front of computer screens and began to practice.
Qian Lu directly turned on the large LCD screen above the arena. This way, it would be easier for the customers in the Internet Cafe to watch the live training of the resident team.
It could be considered an early viewing experience.
When the BAN selection was displayed on the large LCD screen, some of the regulars in the Internet Cafe couldn't help but gather around Qian Lu to ask about the situation.
"Old Qian."
"What's the background of our resident team?"
"Are they strong enough?"
"Why are they all high school students? And they even have two girls?"
"The girls look so good. Can you introduce them to me later?"
Facing such a question, Qian Lu's chubby face was still full of smiles. He naturally ignored the matter of "introducing girls", and when it came to the strength of the resident team, his answer was still to mysteriously keep them guessing.
"Don't worry.
You'll know if they're strong enough after watching their training. "
His words had once again whetted everyone's appetite.
The customers in the internet cafe became even more curious, but since they couldn't get any useful information out of Qian Lu, they could only patiently watch the training match.
Come to think of it, what kind of group was this?
… …
The training match began.
Lin Feng's group of five sat in the arena with relaxed expressions. It was as if they weren't affected by the gazes around them.
Training …
It was better to play according to their usual rhythm.
Over the past few days, the rhythm and condition of the five members of the team had basically recovered to the level they had when they fought in the National High School League a while ago. Facing this kind of ordinary platoon battle, it was almost effortless for them.
Three minutes.
Lin Feng soloed in the middle lane.
Four minutes later, An Xin went up as a jungler and cooperated with Zhang Hao to kill the solo hero.
Five minutes later, Ceng Rui and Tang Bingyao coordinated with each other and took the initiative to kill the opposing support.
Flowers blossomed in three directions.
Ten minutes later, the number of players on the field had widened to 11: 3.
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Feng's side was six thousand dollars ahead of their opponents.
At the 18th minute, he pushed his way up to the high ground in the middle lane.
At the 21st minute, the other side was forced to initiate a vote of surrender.
The eye-catching "Victory" emblem slowly appeared on the large LCD screen above the arena in the center of the internet cafe's lobby.
He had won.
The internet cafe customers who had formed a circle around the arena in the lobby were all stunned. They were a little dumbfounded.
Th-that's it?
Training squad?
Wasn't it a little too quick and straightforward?!
Many of the customers in the internet cafe could not help but feel slightly moved. They clicked their tongues in amazement.
"Holy sh * t … this is quite impressive!"
"It's almost like they've been beaten 20 times, right?"
"Such strong teamwork!"
"Their matchmaking is also very good!"
Of course, some customers were a little skeptical. "Why does it feel like they can't fight back at all? It's like they've been beaten to a pulp. What division is this? Don't tell me they're Silver or Gold players … "
The other guests were also a little doubtful when they heard this.
"Silver or Gold?"
"I don't think so …"
Although this was what they said, the customers in the lobby of the internet cafe weren't very sure of their judgment.
After all, this training match was a little too easy for the resident team in the internet cafe. It was as if they'd been beaten to a pulp. If their opponent was really in the Platinum or Diamond division …
There was no way they could have been beaten so easily, right?
Otherwise, with this kind of strength, wouldn't other internet cafe teams be beaten like vegetables when they challenged them?
…
After the ranking match, Lin Feng and the others sat in the arena with relaxed expressions on their faces.
That team match just now was just a warm-up.
Their opponents were Black Five, whose average rank was around Diamond 3. They basically posed no threat or pressure to them.
Looking at the time, it was almost 12: 20 PM. The "Battle Cup" round robin challenge had already begun. However, it seemed like no internet cafe team had come to challenge them yet.
Lin Feng tilted his head and looked at his teammates.
"Another match?"
Tang Bingyao tilted her head.
"Who knows if other internet cafes will come looking for us?"
Lin Feng laughed.
"That's fine."
"Let's just play faster."
Thus, another group match began.
This group battle was even smoother than the previous one. In just over ten minutes, the purple army was on the verge of collapsing on two fronts.
When Lin Feng's group of five had been playing for about two or three minutes, the curtain at the entrance of the Internet Cow Internet Cafe was lifted, and a group of people walked in.
A commotion broke out among the spectators near the arena area. Some of the guests had already recognized the identity of the group of people who came in through the door.
"They're from the Moonlight Internet Cafe!"
"Is the leader the owner of Moonlight Internet Cafe?"
"They're here!"
"Our first opponent is here!"
On the other hand, a bright light flashed in Qian Lu's small eyes, and then a smile appeared on his chubby face as he strode forward.
"Welcome, Mr. Liu!"
Boss Liu, who came from Moonlight Internet Cafe, also walked over with a few members of his Internet cafe team. With a polite smile on his face, he tried to get close to Qian Lu. It was nothing more than flattering each other and exchanging a few polite words. In fact, their conversation was a little tit-for-tat.
"Mr. Qian, our Moonlight Internet Cafe and Moonlight Internet Cafe are old neighbors. Let's not talk about winning or losing. Friendship is the most important thing."
"Haha, Brother Liu, you're right! What was the saying again? Friendship first, competition second! You're just starting your first match, right? "
"Oh, of course. We just finished a match at another Star Internet Cafe. Haha, our luck is pretty good today. We've already gotten off to a good start."
"Oh? You got your first win already? Congratulations! "
"Haha, thank you very much. I hope we can keep this momentum going."
"Haha, Brother Liu, you're very optimistic. But it's a competition. It's hard to say who will win."
"Hey, we'll only know after we fight, right?"
"Yeah, we'll only know after we fight."
As they conversed, the smell of gunpowder and smoke began to spread in all directions.
The expressions on the two internet cafe owners' faces turned into fake smiles. The friendliness from before was indeed just a facade.
That was right.
After all, one was participating in the "Steady as Mount Tai" award, and the other was aiming for the "Total Annihilation" award. One was the challenger, and the other was the defending team. Whoever wanted to go further in the Battle Cup Internet Cafe Round Robin Challenge would have to step over their opponents' corpses.
At this time, the owner of Moonlight Internet Cafe glanced around and caught a glimpse of Lin Feng and the others sitting in the center of the hall. He raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Brother Qian, is this the resident team you invited?"
"Tsk, isn't it a little young?"
Qian Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous smile appeared on his face.
"Young or not …"
"We'll only know after we fight."
