Of course, Lu Li could also ignore what Fei Houzi said to the reporters.
He could even shamelessly arrange for someone to counter Xiao Mo. With his level of blackness, this kind of thing would be done without any psychological pressure. This kind of thing was not uncommon in the history of the EFL League. Lu Li wasn't even sure if The Capital of Glory would arrange for Xiao Mo to play according to the rules of the challenge.
All was fair in war. This rule was brought up more and more with the development of the gaming industry.
For money, for victory, for the championship, personal honor and shame were nothing. Lu Li could completely ignore the challenge that Fei Houzi had issued in front of the reporters.
However, this wasn't without concern. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so conflicted.
First of all, if Fei Houzi played later, his condition would be a big problem. It would be difficult for him to play normally, let alone perform exceptionally well. Ruling Sword simply didn't have anyone who could replace Fei Houzi's position. Lu Li couldn't even bring out an Ice Mage.
With such a shallow foundation, there was nothing that Lu Li could do.
Rebirth didn't mean that he was invincible. Even if Lu Li could find more competitors, Ruling Sword wouldn't be able to support them for the time being. They wouldn't be able to give them enough opportunities to realize their value.
Although Lu Li was a little unhappy about today's events, he could understand Fei Houzi's feelings. If it was any other Mage, especially those who could reach the level that Fei Houzi was at, they would set Xiao Mo as their goal. If Fei Houzi didn't have this kind of ambition, Lu Li might have doubted that he had a future.
The main reason was that Fei Houzi's temper was a little impulsive. At the press conference today, there were reporters who dug a hole for him.
In fact, the atmosphere at the press conference today was very unfriendly. Most of the reporters from the Capital were hostile towards Ruling Sword. This was also the pressure that they had to bear in an away game.
"Monkey." Lu Li put his hand on Fei Houzi's shoulder and hesitated for a moment.
"Boss, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have said that," Fei Houzi said dejectedly. Now that he had calmed down and thought about it, he realized that he was not qualified to challenge Xiao Mo right now. Not to mention how confident he was in defeating Xiao Mo, he didn't even think he had any hope of winning.
"Don't be so easily provoked next time." Lu Li sighed. "Play well when you're in the starting lineup later. Go and get ready now."
"Okay, boss, don't worry … Wait, starting?" Fei Houzi didn't hear it clearly at first. After a while, he realized that Lu Li said he would be the starter. Was he asking him to challenge Xiao Mo?
"Keep your words to yourself. You're a man," Lu Li said as he patted Fat Monkey's shoulder. "Go on. Don't let everyone down."
"I …" Fei Houzi's voice was stuck in his throat. He didn't know what to say. It seemed like no words could express his current feelings. He was already prepared to be treated as a joke. A newcomer who talked nonsense would only become a joke.
"Don't be so sentimental. Don't you want to challenge him? This is a good opportunity. I wasn't as lucky as you when I was younger," Moonlight said, which was rare for him.
Fei Houzi looked at him gratefully. It was obvious that Moonlight was on his side.
Ruling Sword was a new club, which meant that the system wasn't complete. Furthermore, Lu Li had rejected all capital investments. The management was also his family, so his words were authoritative. As such, no one stood up to question Fei Houzi's decision to be the starter.
When Fei Houzi stood in the ring, he wasn't greeted with as much mockery as he had imagined.
Any Mage would want to challenge Xiao Mo or Mowang Feng one on one. They would want to beat them to the ground and surrender the title of Mage God. Any Warrior would want to challenge the top few players in the rankings, and there were many who actually went to challenge them. As such, Fei Houzi's actions were particularly friendly in their eyes.
As for Ruling Sword, who had let Fei Houzi go, the audience had a much better impression of them.
In recent years, no club had dared to let a new Mage challenge Xiao Mo.
Moonlight looked at Fei Houzi's excited face. He knew that this guy might not even be able to play at his normal strength, but he didn't regret encouraging Lu Li to let Fei Houzi go on stage.
He had done the same stupid thing as Fei Houzi. At that time, he wasn't as steady as he was now. Or rather, when Moonlight first started out, he was also a rash kid. He thought that he was already very strong, so he said that he wanted to challenge the Wargod of the time.
If he didn't defeat the Wargod, how could he become the new Wargod?
He wasn't as lucky as Fei Houzi. His club didn't dare to bet on him.
They lost that match badly, and he was the only bright spot in the team. After a few months, Moonlight went to another club, intending to defeat the Wargod in a new competition.
Unfortunately, before the new season started, the Wargod of the time announced his retirement.
From the beginning to the end, Moonlight never really defeated the idol in his heart. After that, it was a competition between several Warriors that lasted for several years. Moonlight became the idol of many Warrior players in various games, but he never had the chance to defeat the Wargod of the time.
This regret had always been on his mind, so he supported Fei Houzi. Even if he lost, it didn't matter.
There was only one champion, but there was more than one chance to win. Whether it was Moonlight or Lu Li, they both knew that this arrangement was very irrational, but they didn't regret pushing Fei Houzi to the stage.
Lu Li considered the problem from a more utilitarian point of view.
Ruling Sword needed to expand and recruit new players, but there weren't many players with potential. Even those who had experienced rebirth couldn't do anything about it. The biggest source of new players was actually the training camps of the major clubs. Batches of new players were trained or eliminated. No matter which one it was, they actually had the opportunity to choose.
Lu Li gave Fei Houzi this opportunity, which was equivalent to conveying the same message to the outside world.
As long as you have the ability, I will give you a chance. Even if you want to challenge the highest god in the gaming circle, it's not impossible.
Look at Fei Houzi. A few months ago, he was unknown, but after entering Ruling Sword, he frequently appeared on the stage. Now, he actually had the opportunity to challenge Xiao Mo. What are you guys waiting for? Where else can you find such an opportunity? As for the issue of pay, you guys are still young. Do you want to kill your own ambition for a little more money?
In short, this was a game version of buying a horse's bones with a thousand gold coins.
When Fei Houzi stepped onto the stage, The Capital of Glory of course wouldn't be afraid. Xiao Mo also appeared on the stage. He didn't look down on Fei Houzi. Everything that needed to be prepared was prepared, and all the necessary etiquette was done.
In fact, Xiao Mo really didn't know what to do.
If Fei Houzi challenged him, if Fei Houzi lost, everyone would be very understanding. After all, he was a new player, and it was good that he had the courage to fight. If anyone didn't accept it, then they could fight him.
However, if Xiao Mo lost, which was just a hypothetical situation, then it would be disastrous. Not only would he become a stepping stone for a new player, but he would also have to face more challengers. After all, if Fei Houzi could win, then why would they lose?
After the start of the match was given, both sides began to cast their skills at each other.
Both of them were Mages. Fire Mages had stronger attack power, but Ice Mages had more crowd control. In terms of survival, they might have slightly more tricks up their sleeves. After all, Xiao Mo's equipment was definitely better than Fei Houzi's.
Putting aside the factors such as equipment and skills, Fire Mages actually had the advantage.
Ice Mages' crowd control mostly restricted movement, which was an overwhelming advantage against melee players. However, in a situation where both Mages had the same attack range, even if you restricted the opponent's movement, it wouldn't stop them from channeling their skills.
