Chapter 515: Return

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Recently, Earth’s CT standard had been comfortably in the lead in the Solar System. Although CT was no actual battle, but as long as one took it seriously, there would definitely be improvement. As the strongest professional players headed by Prince, they definitely had an intimidating aura.

Before the match, Old Deer and Yao Ailun, as well as Bei Er, had engaged in mutual banter such as Why does Bei Er’s career’s future look like it was dimming. Ever since Skeleton had retired, Old Deer had not broken out the milk box for exciting matches anymore. Without an opponent, it had gotten a little lonely.

It had to be said that Manalasuo’s standard was indeed astonishing. Ever since Prince and his team had received the challenge, they had been preparing amply, researching their opponents’ strategies. But in the 3 single combat face-offs, Prince’s team had been completely trounced. The only relatively entertaining match was a face-off between Prince and the Falcon team leader APP. Prince’s Wind God showed some hints of the brilliance that Wang Zheng brought to bear. Evidently, he had toiled hard in practice, but he was still unable to fully master the control of magnetic energy fluctuations. If he was in a good condition, he could execute it, but when his condition was bad, or when he was pressured too hard by the opponent, he could not execute it well. This difference was still huge.

The Falcon team leader APP also used the Wind God. More accurately, every country was now using the Wind God, testing it out, from the military to CT. In the last moment when Prince’s mecha exploded, the 5 million viewers of the broadcast platform lamented loudly.

In truth, the match had been close. Both were evenly matched. Of course, Wind God was not APP’s best mecha, but a match was a match. Prince was very close to taking a win, but in the end still lagged behind in technical skill.

Prince’s familiarity was much higher than APP, but APP had him beat in technical handling.

APP had won, but clearly the CT rank 1 expert from Manalasuo was dissatisfied. He had come here not to win, but to lose. To think that his opponent could not even beat his Wind God.

There was only 1 match left to play, and it was the mid-match break.

“Old Deer, it seems like the Falcon team really lives up to the name of being the best team in Manalasuo. Our team has done its best as well. We’re really watching a high-level competition.” Bei Er said.

Old Deer nodded. “Now the attention has turned to the next team battle. Prince’s leadership in group battle is the strongest the Solar System has ever had. Hopefully this can secure a crucial win in the group battle.”

“Let us interview the Falcon team leader APP.” Bei Er reported with a bright smile, and the camera switched to APP.

“Leader APP, after 3 matches, the Falcon team leads 3-0. How do you see your opponents?” Bei Er asked.

APP was young, with a gleam in his eye. From one look, it was apparent this was a serious young man. “This season is my Falcon team’s last competition season. In a month, I’ll be enrolling in military school, and it is for this precise reason that the last stop before I retire is Earth. I heard that this was the land of miracles, and I thought that the place of origin for humankind would give me a different experience.”

APP said no more. In the end, he was disappointed. The human he idolized the most was Vincent, but Manalasuo team had been dismantled single handedly in IG. Terrible, terrible.

They had come to Earth this time as well because of the resentment they held in their hearts.

But APP’s answer had left Bei Er with no way to continue the conversation. They had come here to be beaten, but had now beaten them instead. This left them uncertain of how to react.

But as a professional commentator, Bei Er adjusted quickly. “Keke, Earth is indeed a miraculous place. If you have the chance, please do come often, and you will eventually find your miracle.”

At this point, Yao Ailun cut the broadcast signal and leaped out. “Wang Zheng, show them what you got! This bunch of punks came here for a thrashing. If we can’t even oblige them this, we would be poor hosts indeed!”

Yao Ailun was deeply immersed in this job, and also held a deep personal friendship with Prince and his team. He knew that Prince and his team had done their best, but their limit was reached, unable to satisfy the audience’s expectations. But Prince and his team were still holding on. Their willpower was indeed worthy of respect. Honestly, he could earn more by doing less if he retired, but Prince had held on, assembling a patchwork of funding where he could. Besides, Prince was popular, but he continued to defend their ground.

“Leader Prince, Leader APP seems to be rather dissatisfied. Do you have any counter strategies in the next group battle? The audience is waiting for your victory. There is also word going around hoping that you retire soon.”

On the other side, the reporter was interviewing Prince during the mid-match break. These words were harsh. They had been unable to break out of the Solar System for a while now, and many felt that it was time to change leaders to someone with more vitality and life.

Prince just smiled slightly, declining to answer the question.

But this smile touched a chord in Wang Zheng. It held too much... not bitterness, and not unwillingness. It was something that only a true talent would have, and Wang Zheng could vouch for it. If a new leader emerged, Prince would willingly and carefreely give up the burden. But Wang Zheng had seen it for himself in the past two matches. No one else could match Prince’s judgement of the overall picture.

“Is it convenient to arrange for me to drop in now?” Wang Zheng suddenly asked.

Yao Ailun started, then when wild with joy. “Leave it to me!”

Prince had concluded the interview, and was sitting eyes closed, gathering his thoughts. His entire brain was filled with the positioning of his opponents. It was too difficult to beat. Manalasuo’s positioning was too strong. Sometimes being famous was not a good thing. When one’s standard was high, one could be rigorously trained, but one emotional stamina would be severely strained. When Skeleton was around, things had not been as bad, their morale being boosted. But in this year or so, the pressure had been immense.

“Leader, how are we gonna do this?”

Many of the members did not have much confidence as well. Prince’s team was an old hand leading 4 new ones. The new members still had technical slip-ups. Most frightening of all was their mental state. How could they secure victory from behind? They had not been through the era of Skeleton, and never tasted the miracle. It was why they now lacked that crucial backbone to see games through to the end.

Prince gathered his thoughts. Just as he opened his mouth, suddenly his Skylink rang. Seeing the message, his face changed drastically.

The other members were curious. Prince was a veteran, and nicknamed ‘immovable as a mountain’. What was going on?

Yao Ailun had already gotten through to Old Deer. Bei Er was confused. What were these two men doing vulgarly whispering in the corner and getting all excited about?

A long while later, they were done, and Bei Er could not find a good opportunity to ask. Old Deer had already entered the broadcast room.

“Old Deer, our side’s morale seems to be a little low. Did you pressure them too hard?” Yao Ailun blinked innocently, a hint of provocation behind his gold-rimmed glasses.

Old Deer raised an eyebrow. “Little Lun, you’re getting ahead of yourself, aren’t you? Compose yourself.”

“Oh Old Deer, I hear you’re getting more cowardly as you grow older. Not like your courageous stature back in the day!” Yao Ailun shook his head sadly.”

“Little Lun, say it straight! Whatever it is you want to say!”

“Keke, don’t get all agitated now. What I mean is, although we’re the commentators, but we’ve got to give our guys some encouragement right? Didn’t you use to decisively open a milk carton to take bets at times like these? Seems like it’s been a while since we partnered up, are you afraid?” Yao Ailun teased.
