The youngster’s pause caught everyone’s attention.

Lin Feng opened his mouth but nothing came out. Just then, with a loud ka-cha, she shoved the keyboard to the left. The sound was sharp and clean.

She continued to maneuver her character with one hand and pressed the other onto her captain’s wrist.

Qin Mo paused, glancing up at her.

Bo Jiu remained silent, her fingers gliding over, landing on Qin Mo’s keyboard.

“What… What is going on here?!”

“Spade Z is helping to maneuver Almighty Qin’s character?”

“That could reduce the stress placed on Almighty Qin’s speed?”

“But that isn’t logical, how can you play in this manner? It might be alright to move the character with just the keyboard but he needs the mouse to confirm the attack, Spade Z, how can he…”

“The confirmation can be done on the keyboard, look at Spade Z’s hands.”

The cameras zoomed in on the youngster. Both hands were placed on separate keyboards but every time she lifted her hand, it was so fast they could barely see the movements.

Many would use their left hand to operate the keyboard and their right to move the mouse but this was the first time anyone could play so flexibly with both hands in a professional match.

Feng Shang felt his eyes growing redder and even Yin Wuyao had turned to glance over.

They sat shoulder to shoulder. It seemed very much like, ‘If there comes a day you were to lose your most prized possession, I will go to all means in order to safeguard your position.’

Little Captain’s playing style…

She pressed her lips tight, her heartache towards Captain Qin expressed through her actions.

Yin Wuyao chuckled, his voice travelling through the headphones towards Coco and Xue Yaoyao. “It’s time for us to work harder.”

Yes, it was time for them to work hard.

For the sake of the man that had been carrying them on his shoulders ever since the beginning. Even if they didn’t win, they had to give it their all.

When Zhao Sanpang caught sight of them, his mouth fell. Xiao Jing paused slightly before unleashing another attack. “Continue.”

Zhao Sanpang’s voice turned hoarse. “Little Spade is giving his all to protect Qin Mo, he must be crazy.” But deep inside, he was filled with respect. It was a heartfelt passion he felt for his rival.

“Little Spade, we won’t show any mercy even if you act out a melodrama,” Zhao Sanpang howled, as he unleashed yet another sword frenzy. His eyes lit up, brighter than before.

The moment her fingers fell, the youngster entered the wilderness, her voice lazy as always as she said, “Heh, what melodrama? It’s a romance, can’t you tell? As expected of someone unattached. Brother Mo, don’t be affected by Zhao Sanpang, do you want these blue beasts? I’ll get it for you.”

Zhao Sanpang: … F*ck, why did he feel touched? This person was itching for a beating!

At this moment, someone mentioned, “Spade Z is really cool but he can’t compete in such a manner.”

Indeed, ever since the youngster had taken over Qin Mo’s character, the shoutcasters eyed each other and turned their attention towards the judges. The judges had never faced such a unique situation and thus went into a brief discussion. Less than half a minute later, they shook their heads at the shoutcasters.

The next second, the announcement was made. “Warning given to Supreme Alliance’s member, please follow the game’s normal procedures, this is an esports arena.”

They didn’t have to specify the player, it was clear in everyone’s heart.

In reality, this wasn’t easy as it didn’t just challenge a person’s hand speed, it also tested their calculation and judgement, which would slow her progress.

But Bo Jiu would rather slow down, while keeping things steady.

In the past, she did things swiftly. Now, she no longer felt the same way. She wanted him to remain unscathed and Almighty Qin should always be cherished.

Bo Jiu didn’t wish to take her hands back. Seeing this, Qin Mo turned towards the youngster, his lips lifted into a smile with probably all the tenderness he had in this lifetime. “Are you misbehaving because there isn’t any more candy?”

Bo Jiu had always been like a fox with a unique stubbornness.

“Have you forgotten what you promised me yesterday?” Qin Mo’s eyes deepened. “You were supposed to control Supreme Alliance’s tempo.”

All of a sudden, Bo Jiu paused. Qin Mo moved in that instant, pushing his keyboard back to position.

Spade Z’s character remained stationary for just one second. The next moment, she hurriedly went to kill beasts and troops.

If Bo Jiu was building up her own finances before, the Bo Jiu right now had slowed down but managed to perfect the coordination with her teammates on every lane.

Rao Rong broke into a sudden laughter. “Spade Z’s only flaw has been eliminated, it’s going to be hard for Xiangnan to continue suppressing Supreme Alliance.”

“The only flaw?” Lin Chentao didn’t understand what flaws Little Spade had since he had been feared ever since the start of the competition.

Rao Rong pointed to the side. “Previously, Spade Z was too fast during the cooperation and sometimes, when the assassin is too fast, it separates him from the team. They won’t be able to match up when assistance is needed, which is a fatal flaw during a team battle. Right now, Spade Z has learnt to gather his teammates during his individual battles. He has slowed down to the perfect speed. A deadly assassin may be important but an assassin that understands his members and makes accurate attacks is much stronger. Spade Z doesn’t just have Qin Mo’s ability to scheme, he has something else. Hero has never been an individual game.

As if to justify Rao Rong’s words, a battle opened up on the top lane. It wasn’t just the experienced North of the Yin Mountain that came in time for support, Xue Yaoyao used her lighting skills to unleash a rain spell, successfully taking down one of their heads.

Everyone could sense the difference; Supreme Alliance was no longer the same. Compared to the start of the game… No, even compared to a moment ago, they had completely changed in terms of their skills, hand speed, game instinct, and cooperation.

This team was much stronger than before.

The scores tightened up once again. The collapsing top lane was salvaged just in time and thus the tempo was brought back to Supreme Alliance.

This was the first time Xiangnan reached a tie even after half an hour had passed. In the past, they had always managed to destroy the city center within 40 minutes with more kills on their side. Besides, it had been a long time since Xiangnan activated their full force.

Today, it was unlike before. Even those unfamiliar with the game had stopped outside the mall to watch the screen. Perhaps, it wasn’t the skills that moved them but knowing that there are people around you amidst the exciting battle, regardless of the situation. In victory, they celebrated with joy. In loss, they strived for the next opportunity. Their presence brought courage to not abandon and not give up. That was the embodiment of youth.
