This was the first time Xia Tong sang in public.

In the past, he only dared to sing to Debang when taking a shower. Debang didn't respond at all the time and was as quiet as if it had broken down. Xia Tong repeatedly suspected that the little robot was damaged by the high-temperature steam in the bathroom. If it was really broken, Zheng Linchuan would not take Debang to the specialty store for repair. Then he would lose Debang, who was his only friend. So, in order to maintain Debang's life, Xia Tong gave up the plan of bringing Debang into the bathroom.

Later, he met Lin Mingfei and felt that he had a very good relationship with Lin Mingfei. He kept wanting to get close to Alpha, so he gradually plucked up the courage to sing to Lin Mingfei. Unlike Debang, Lin Mingfei's reaction was shocking. Xia Tong couldn't tell whether her attitude was angry or shocked. Anyway, in the end, his mouth was covered by Lin Mingfei.

Legend has it that there is a kind of tone-deaf person. Although he sings out of tune, he does not feel that he is out of tune, and even does not feel that there is any difference between himself and the original singer. Therefore, he always sings happily, and the people around him are all laughing. Xia Tong belongs to this type. Debang did not have the chance to say it, and Lin Mingfei did not have the heart to say it, so his passion for singing has not diminished at all. He even thinks that this is one of his specialties, and actively uses it to communicate with the brothers of Sabretooth Tiger.

Xia Tong was actually quite nervous while singing solo in the YY channel. He didn't dare to look at the public screen and stared at the lyrics the whole time, fearing that he would forget the words and make mistakes, which would leave a bad impression on his fellow Sabretooth Tigers. After he finally finished singing from beginning to end, he exited the page with a sense of relief. When he looked at the channel again, none of the three Sabretooth Tigers were left; they had all run away.

"Huh? Where did they go?" Xia Tong was puzzled and hurriedly asked the only witness, Lin Mingfei: "Did they not like listening to me sing? So they left before the end!"

"No, they left after listening to it, and they liked it very much. They didn't have the heart to type on the public screen for fear of affecting your mood for singing." Lin Mingfei talked nonsense without blushing or beating her heart.

"Actually, I find it quite strange. Why would I want to be a father to someone like Sabertooth Tiger?" Xia Tong said, "What are the benefits of being their father?"

"Every esports player has a dream of being a father hidden deep in their heart," Lin Mingfei said sarcastically, "Their goal is to be a father to all their opponents. A player who doesn't want to be a father to others isn't a qualified player. Do you understand?"

"...Emmmm, I don't quite understand."

"For example, look at me. I have always been committed to 'teaching my son'. It is because I played the game with this mentality that I am so good now." Lin Mingfei said lazily, raising a finger and shaking it gently.

"Oh..." Lin Mingfei's example was very convincing. Xia Tong nodded thoughtfully after hearing the analogy. "I understand. So I will also treat Goblin as my son from now on, and teach him how to behave during the game. Is that what you mean?"

"You understand it very well." Lin Mingfei smiled.

"But you still didn't tell me why they left without saying a word!" Xia Tong went back to the original question.

Lin Mingfei pretended to be lost in thought. "Actually, this song mainly expresses the earnest teachings and hopes of an elder for the younger generation. They may have accidentally felt that they shouldn't waste their time and life, so they are eager to go back and intensify their training." After a pause, "Your singing has cleared their confusion, allowing them to change their ways and start a new life."

"Wow!" Xia Tong clenched her fist excitedly, believing the alpha's lies without a doubt. "So my singing is so meaningful! I must learn and sing more in the future, so that everyone can be filled with positive energy every day!"

After the two sides had been debunking each other, Lin Mingfei figured the goblin wouldn't be so bold as to try to seduce their omega again. Even if they did, it was hard not to wonder if Xia Tong would treat the goblin with the perspective of a loving father. With that thought, Lin Mingfei felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was snowing outside. Xia Tong hummed an unknown tune happily as she went to take a bath. It seemed that she was in a really good mood. Lin Mingfei was lying lazily on the sofa and browsing his phone. He flipped through Weibo and found that the impatient Goblin had already started howling on Weibo.

Saber-Goblin: [Polaris and I are sworn enemies!!]

There is deep hatred and bitterness between the lines, but the accompanying picture is a shocked and hurt cat head, with a hint of subtle shyness in the pretentiousness.

Sabretooth fans in the comment section were usually ready to fight, but now they are completely confused.

【? What's going on? 】

New here, is this a program that just starts mocking Polaris or what?

[Goblin, haven't you always been at odds with Polaris?]

[Have you Sabretooth Tigers ever shared pants with Polaris before? ? ]

[Brother, are you sure you're not just being a spoiled brat? [doge]]

[Fuck, are you real fans or fake fans? Can you please stop making such disgusting jokes? ]

[That is to say, Polaris is now Sabretooth's biggest enemy! ]

[I heard there was a training match scheduled before, does anyone know the result? ]

My friend works for the Sabertooth Tiger Club. He made inquiries and found out that the Sabertooth Tiger won.

"Oh, no wonder. Polaris must be dissatisfied and doing something shameful in private."

[Is the omega in their group really that powerful? ]

[What the hell is so great about this? It must be a fucked-up character. They still lost in a training match against our big brother team?]

I seriously suspect that their previous wins were all due to their opponents letting them win.

Are there really cute omegas who are also great at gaming? Believe it or not, I don't.

......

Sabretooth's fans imagined that their Lord Goblin must have suffered a great injustice from Polaris, and were ready to go to Polaris' official Weibo to make a move, but then they saw Goblin repost the status and tagged polaris_blink.

Sabertooth_goblin: @polaris_blink, unless you learn a different song right now and sing it to us, I won't forgive you! Our friendship is overturned! //@Sabertooth_goblin: Polaris and I are sworn enemies!!

Fans of Sabretooth who were furious a few minutes ago: “???” This is not what we agreed!

Afterwards

polaris_zero: Are you thinking about Peach and our friendship? Go ahead and flip it over! I've got it //@Sabertooth_goblin: Unless you learn a different song and sing it to us right now, I won't forgive you! Our friendship has flipped over! //@Sabertooth_goblin: Polaris and I are sworn enemies!!

Then, they actually started chatting by forwarding the message to each other.

Sabretooth_goblin: I'm talking to Blink, why are you butting in? //@polaris_zero:

polaris_zero: Why should our wizard sing for you? //@sabertooth_goblin:

Sabretooth_goblin: Your wizard promised to sing for us! //@polaris_zero:

polaris_zero: Didn't you sing it already? Didn't the whole group record it? Alzheimer's? //@Sabertooth_goblin:

Sabretooth_goblin: That can even be considered a song? ? ? That's clearly your conspiracy!! You're fucking cursing! //@polaris_zero:

polaris_zero: Why doesn't a loving father and a filial son count? Oh, and blink is too busy training to bother you, so please stop bothering him, and don't pollute our team's virtuous roots with your team's lax and undisciplined culture // @sabertooth_goblin:

sabertooth_goblin: @polaris_blink @polaris_blink @polaris_blink @polaris_blink.

Sabertooth_yoyo: Bro, let's not embarrass ourselves, okay? [covering face]. //@Sabertooth_goblin.

Sabertooth_Molan: After listening to the recording, I just want to ask, why are you still so obsessed with singing like that? If you don't want your ears, you can donate them to those in need. Fortunately, I wasn't there. //@Sabertooth_yoyo: Bro, let's not embarrass ourselves, okay? [covers face]. //@Sabertooth_goblin:

Sabertooth_Robin King: Why are you all so eager to share this... Can't we just privately chat about this kind of embarrassing thing? = =//@Sabertooth_Dark Blue: After listening to the recording, I just want to ask, why are you so obsessed with singing like that? If you don't want your ears, you can donate them to those in need. Luckily, I wasn't there. //@Sabertooth_yoyo: Bro, let's not embarrass ourselves, okay? [facepalm]. //@Sabertooth_goblin:

Comment section.

【？ ？ ？ ？ ？ 】

Did all the saber-toothed tigers take fake medicine? Why do they all look so unintelligent?

Aren't they enemies of Polaris? What the hell are they doing?

@Sabertooth_Goblin, you bastard, are you fucking courting Blink?! Don’t you look down on omega wizards?! Didn’t you even curse and say you were going to teach Blink a lesson?!

This is a lot of information! Did Blink have a fan meeting?

【Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, it seems the fan meeting wasn't very successful.】

[Why is Team P's Z God acting like a mother hen protecting her chicks? Is there something going on between Blink and the Goblins? ?]

How did you know Blink and the Goblin had something going on? It's clearly the Goblin who's licking the boots, alright?

Blink's charm is really great... They're even operating across teams.

【Take my cute and charming goose away without a date!!】

[My little girl wants to be beautiful all by herself!! The stinky alpha from the next team should stay away from him!!]

[Hehehe, are Sabretooth fans crazy? They're always rushing around, but they're actually a team of brothers!]

"We're on good terms privately! You guys are the ones stirring things up. The holographic esports community is being tainted by your kind."

[Reject the fandomization of esports circles! ! Maintain the prosperity, democracy, harmony and justice of the esports community!]

Xia Tong happily took a bubble bath for half an hour, not realizing that she had suddenly and inexplicably become a role model for "rejecting the fan circleization of the e-sports circle" and a bridge for the Sabretooth Tiger and Polaris teams to build brotherhood.

Sabretooth and Polaris suddenly put aside their differences and became a team of brothers who spoke in word but acted in spirit. Although some toxic fans of both sides felt dissatisfied and aggrieved, most of the Wangling players were happy to see it, so they did not notice that Dylan was the only one in the entire Sabretooth team who did not participate in the discussion of the topic.

At this moment, Dylan was confronting Ping Shuai in Zhao Xin's office.

A few hours ago, he had gone to great lengths, even risking the whole team discovering his rebellious intentions, to angrily defeat a wave of goblins, but he didn't expect to fail in the end. His other three teammates, as if they were crazy, actually chose to go along with the goblins, and during the review process, they tried their best to take the blame, which made him, the person who passed the buck, extremely evil and out of tune with the entire team.

In the end, Zhao Xin still couldn't defeat the combined strength of the four people, and the result of the training match was that he won, giving Goblin a profound lesson, and then let it go. The other four Sabretooths showed relieved expressions, and in the end, no one paid any attention to Dylan, and they left the meeting room arm in arm.

Dylan was shocked and angry at the same time.

He paid such a huge price and acted so decisively, there was no turning back. He was abandoned and isolated by the entire team, but he still failed to expel the goblins. This meant... the negotiations between him and Coach Ping collapsed.

Dylan felt a little panicked. Rather than caring about the opinions of his four teammates, the most urgent thing was to deal with Ping Shuai, the dog that didn't bark but bit people painfully.

Sure enough, before he could even sit down on the sofa, Zhao Xin, with a gloomy face, called him to the office.

Ping Shuai is also here.

Dylan took one look at the guy, his face etched with the words "mutual destruction"—his face was pale and his expression shone with a hint of sinister cruelty. He knew things were going badly. He forced himself to calm down, repeating to himself in his heart that Ping Shuai was nothing, just a pawn bought at a high price by Zhao Xin's tactics department. He'd been with Sabretooth for so many years, and even if he hadn't made any contributions, he'd worked hard. Three skill errors didn't really mean anything, let alone shake his position in Sabretooth.

He and Ping Shuai argued with each other in front of Zhao Xin, arguing with each other, making Zhao Xin's face become more and more ugly and his breathing more and more rapid.

That half hour seemed longer than a century to Dylan. His heart was beating louder and harder than a drum, and his teeth were chattering because he was afraid.

Fortunately, compared with Ping Shuai, Zhao Xin still rationally chose to trust him. Although he gave him a warning, he was safe in the end. However, Ping Shuai violated many contract provisions because of his bad behavior and was passively terminated.

Passive termination of the contract means that the high signing fee originally signed by Ping Shuai will be used entirely as liquidated damages, and he will not get a penny. At the same time, he will also become a free agent and will no longer be a contracted player of the Sabretooth Tiger Club.

What does it mean to lose both the wife and the army?

Dylan let out a long breath and smiled. The pleasure of revenge mixed with the relief of surviving the disaster made his whole brain like a pot of boiling water. He smiled viciously and provocatively, staring at Ping Shuai with his eyes without any concealment.

Ping Shuai's hands were shaking for a long time, and then he clenched his fists at his side.

The two left Zhao Xin's office one after the other.

Ping Shuai walked in front, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he stopped, as if waiting for Dylan.

Dylan walked up behind him, frowning and trying to move away with a look of disgust on his face, but Ping Shuai suddenly turned around.

"What are you doing? A good dog doesn't block the road." Dylan sneered and said, "I advise you to hurry back and pack your bags. Tickets are hard to buy at the end of the year. If you stay here any longer, you won't even be able to go home and will end up living on the streets."

"You don't need to worry about whether I will end up on the streets." Ping Shuai said lightly.

"Sorry, I'm just being polite." Dylan scoffed, "I'm worried about you? Seeing you like this makes me so happy."

"Do you think your character will last forever?" Ping Shuai replied coldly, "You can't hide your flaws. Compared to Zero, you will always be a loser."

"If I'm trash, then what are you? You're worse than trash." Dylan said sarcastically, "Now you know how to praise Zero? When he first came to you, weren't you still so arrogant and noble? Oh... Come to think of it, you must be regretting it. If you had followed him back to Polaris, Blink wouldn't be playing there now. You have to know that an omega can be brought to such a win rate in Polaris. If you had gone there and been carried by those four, you should still have a place in this circle... Why did you end up with nothing now? Ping Shuai, I just want to ask you, do you regret it now? I really regret it!"

With every word Dylan said, Ping Shuai's face became uglier.

"But now that I think about it, wasn't that the same ugly expression you had when you stepped on Polaris' former teammate? And it seems you were also beaten by Zero, right?" Dylan smiled contentedly, his words piercing the heart: "You deserved it!"

Ping Shuai suddenly clenched his teeth and raised his arms without any warning. Dylan thought he was angry and wanted to hit him, and was about to raise his arms to resist, but Ping Shuai's arms stretched and bent, and he put on a smiling face and hugged him tightly.

Dylan's whole body froze. He didn't know what Ping Shuai meant by this sudden move, but he felt goosebumps all over his body.

Ping Shuai patted him hard on the back twice, acting very affectionately, but what he said was completely different.

"Just call me the big brother, don't even mention the second brother. Your life in the team will not be easy in the future, God D." After saying that, he let go of Dylan, winked at Dylan's back, turned around and walked away.

Dylan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt something and turned around abruptly. He saw Goblin, Yoyo and Mo Lan standing at the corner of the corridor. The eyes of the three people were like sharp swords that seemed to pierce through him. Their emotions were extremely complicated, including shock, anger and contempt.

A chill ran down Dylan's spine. He'd never cared about what his four teammates thought, saw, or felt before. He was always high and mighty, looking down on everyone with an absolute sense of superiority. But now, he felt the sense of crisis, the feeling of being pushed down by everyone. He swallowed hard, subconsciously trying to explain and save the situation. "No, it's not what you think. Ping and I have a very bad relationship. It's just—"

Several veins popped out on the goblin's forehead, and he uttered a few words with difficulty.

"Yeah, you should get out with him."
