Yang Cong was known as Glory's number one Assassin, but he wasn't very likable. For Assassins, too many people liked the instant kill that came with Life-Risking Strike. Yang Cong, on the other hand, almost never used this skill. It was to the point that people suspected that his Scene Killer didn't even add points to this skill, and was just putting on a show to scare people.
However, in the All-Star Competition that had just ended, Yang Cong's Scene Killer finally showed the fangs of an instant kill, finishing off his opponent in one hit. Even though it was just a show, Yang Cong at least let everyone know that he wasn't completely clueless about how to use Life-Risking Strike, the most exciting skill of an Assassin.
The All-Star Weekend had ended, and every player returned to their normal state of play. But in this match against Happy, Yang Cong once again showed his fangs, using Life-Risking Strike to finish off An Wenyi's Little Cold Hands.
His move had come out of the blue, and not having a healer in the team competition was fatal. Lord Grim's cameo could only occasionally save a match at a crucial moment. Relying on him to support a 5v5 team competition was definitely impossible.
Happy could only launch a quick attack, hoping to gain a numerical advantage with his powerful offense. However, 301 Degrees clearly wasn't unprepared for this. After Yang Cong's successful attack, they immediately lowered their tempo and slowly fought a battle of attrition with Happy. They weren't arrogant or impatient, and they tightly surrounded their healer. In the end, just like that, they took down Happy.
The battle of attrition lasted for close to twenty minutes, but the highlight of the match seemed to be Yang Cong's Life-Risking Strike. This was a brilliance that only an Assassin could possess.
In the post-match press conference, Yang Cong was naturally surrounded by reporters. Of course, everyone was curious. After seven years of persistence, why did he suddenly change his style in this battle? Was it because of his performance in the All-Star Competition? Did he receive some sort of inspiration?
"Perhaps!" Facing the reporters' questions, Yang Cong smiled. "Actually, for me, it's not that I don't know how to use Life-Risking Strike, it's that I can't use it!"
"What do you mean?" The reporters didn't understand.
"Because I'm 301 Degrees' captain," Yang Cong replied simply.
The reporters were enlightened. The captain was the soul and flag of a squadron. At any time, he would bear the responsibility of leading the entire squadron. Whether it was using words to encourage the team members, or using actions to motivate everyone, no matter what, the captain needed people to be there first.
What about Life-Risking Strike? This was a strategy that would cause both sides to suffer heavy losses. After using [Life-Risking Strike], the Assassin would only have a sliver of health left. There was probably not a single squadron that would make the mistake of letting such a target live. As for Yang Cong, he was the captain of 301 Degrees, so he needed to stay on the field as much as possible. He couldn't simply kill a target and leave the field.
It wasn't that he didn't know how to use Sacrificial Strike, but that he couldn't use it.
Because he was the captain, he had more responsibilities and responsibilities than the others. As an assassin, he was destined not to be a lone assassin. That was because he did not represent himself, but the entire squadron.
After understanding this, the reporters suddenly realized that they had been overlooking this all along.
Since Season 4, everyone had praised Wang Jiexi for silently changing his playstyle for the sake of Micrograss. He had gradually abandoned his more flashy, more attention-grabbing Magician playstyle, which had helped him increase his popularity. But from that moment on, there was a player from the same year as Wang Jiexi, who was also an All Star, who was also the captain of a squadron. From the start, because of his responsibilities, he had silently given up on some things.
Life-Risking Strike was an Assassin's most dazzling skill.
Perhaps compared to Wang Jiexi, Yang Cong hadn't done as much, but the two of them had the same determination to give up on themselves for the sake of the team. With this kind of sentiment, one shouldn't care too much about how much they had given up.
Realizing this, the reporters at the scene were greatly moved. But apart from being moved, they were also somewhat curious.
"Then why did you suddenly use Life-Risking Strike in this match?" A reporter asked.
"It was probably the All Star Competition that gave me the inspiration! After the All Star Competition, I realized that the current me might be able to use this method to help the team more. Some burdens should be handed over to others, "Yang Cong said with a smile.
The reporters were stunned again.
This … he was already preparing to give up on his position!
The players from Season 3 had already reached the late stages of their careers. Those who were still active in the pro scene were already decreasing year by year. But who was like Yang Cong, who had already started to give up on his position without showing any obvious signs of decline?
What had he seen in the All Star Competition?
Was it because he saw himself at the bottom of the rankings and his imminent departure, or was it because of the younger players that he was looking forward to?
The reporters didn't continue to ask in detail. Because they knew that even if Yang Cong had taken the initiative to do this, even if he smiled in response to everyone, there was no way he wouldn't feel hurt inside. The helplessness brought about by the passage of time was cruel. Who would have the heart to tear this scar to the end?
Yang Cong's attitude had already revealed a lot of things.
Team 301 was about to change their tactical core. Yang Cong's Assassin had retreated to the side, and because of this, he could play in a more relaxed manner. Perhaps from this round onwards, Scene Killer's one hit one kill Fang would set off a storm in the Alliance?
No one would overlook the fact that this was Glory's number one Assassin! At the end of his career, he voluntarily gave up his position as the core player, and from then on, began the true path of an Assassin.
Then, after Yang Cong gave up his position, who would be the new core player for 301?
The reporters were also curious about this question, but 301 didn't give an answer in this press conference. From the current composition of 301's players. Li Yihui, who had been transferred from Micrograss in the past, although his All Star aura had faded after leaving Micrograss, he was still a very strong player. In addition, the Blade Master player Gao Jie had steadily improved in recent years. These two players seemed to have the potential to become the new core of 301.
But two days later, on Monday of the new week, at the Alliance's registration office, someone discovered that 301 had just completed a contract. It wasn't a transfer contract, but a free contract.
Bai Shu, a name that no one knew about, entered Team 301 just like that without a sound or notice. From the Alliance's public information, it could be seen that this person called Bai Shu had taken over 301's former player Xu Bin's character, Tide of Knights.
Who was Bai Shu?
Countless people desperately wanted to know the answer, but the Pro League had entered a one-week break. This year's Spring Festival had come a bit early. January 22nd was New Year's Eve, and it was only two days away. The various teams had already entered the holiday season on Monday, which meant that the Alliance was still updating the roster changes for each team during the transfer window. The players of the various teams had already gone home for the New Year.
Happy's training room had also become much more deserted. Even Wei Chen and Fang Rui, these wretched and shameless people, had properly bought their New Year's goods and gone home to report. In the blink of an eye, Happy's training room had only three people left.
"It's the three of us again!" Chen Guo looked at Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, sighing. She didn't feel lonely at all because there were fewer people. With the two of them by her side, this was already a liveliness she hadn't had since her father's death.
"Yeah, it's us again." Ye Xiu said.
"Will your little brother come again this year?" Chen Guo asked.
"I don't think so!" Ye Xiu said.
"Aren't you going to go home and take a look?" Chen Guo asked.
"We'll talk about it later." On this topic, Ye Xiu didn't have his usual calm and carefree demeanor.
"Then, we should prepare for the New Year's goods!" Chen Guo didn't ask any more questions.
"Are we going shopping again?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Are you scared?" The two girls looked at him sideways.
"My legs are shaking." Ye Xiu laughed bitterly.
"Then you've worked hard." The two girls didn't have any intention of letting him go.
The three of them prepared to leave, but when they came out of the training room, Ye Xiu saw that the door to the tech department was ajar. There seemed to be a sound coming from inside.
Ye Xiu glanced at Su Mucheng and Chen Guo in confusion. The two of them also noticed the strangeness. The three of them walked forward. Ye Xiu pushed open the door and saw Guan Rongfei sitting in front of the computer, focused on something. His mouth kept moving, as if he was mumbling something to himself.
"What's going on?" Chen Guo barged in and mercilessly blocked Guan Rongfei's view with her watch. "Isn't your train at nine o 'clock? What time is it now? "
Guan Rongfei looked away in disgust when Chen Guo's wrist blocked his watch. When he heard Chen Guo's scolding, he casually glanced at his watch. "It's 9: 40? I missed it. "
"What are you doing?!" Chen Guo shouted. People who didn't know better wouldn't be able to tell who was delaying the train.
"Working on equipment." Guan Rongfei's answer was so simple that Chen Guo didn't know what to say. Of course, she knew that Guan Rongfei was probably up to something again and was so focused that he forgot himself. But what gave her a headache was that this guy was always so forgetful, forgetting himself and delaying everything except for work.
"You're not going home?" Chen Guo asked.
"Don't be in such a hurry." Guan Rongfei raised a finger and pointed.
Chen Guo instantly thought that this guy had found something important and hurriedly waited on the side, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Then, Guan Rongfei continued working so hard that he seemed to have forgotten about the people beside him.
"What on earth are you doing?" Ye Xiu walked over.
"Look, this …" As soon as Ye Xiu came over, Guan Rongfei immediately became enraptured and started talking to Ye Xiu.
"Oh, so it's like this. Let me take a look." Ye Xiu said, and another computer was turned on.
Chen Guo was dumbfounded. What happened to the New Year gifts?
