Chapter 8
Chapter Eight
"Thank you, Captain."
After a training session, Xie Wei shook his wrist, which was slightly sore from controlling the recoil. Hearing the shout, he turned his head slightly and said, "Get to the point."
The team's Alpha assault soldier, Shen Xiao, sat down at the camera next to him with a grin: "Why so cold? I heard that a new medic went to the second team, an Omega. What do you say, want to go check him out?"
Xie Wei didn't even bother to exchange a glance, and bluntly refused, "I'm not going."
"Why? Aren't you curious?"
In the esports industry, there are always more Alphas than Omegas because Omegas have different pheromone release periods than Alphas. During an Alpha's pheromone release period, a single injection of an inhibitor can suppress the release of pheromones, but this is not the case for Omegas. Unmarked Omegas must remain alone and ensure sufficient rest during their pheromone release period, making normal training impossible during this time.
Therefore, in TWG, a top-tier esports team with even stricter requirements for its members, Omega is practically a rare breed. Although the team's Alphas are not lacking in followers, they are still bound to be somewhat interested in Omega, who is so close by.
Xie Wei frowned. Curious? He'd already marked it; do you think he wasn't curious?
Just thinking about Xu Ziyan's face gave Xie Wei a headache, and she said impatiently, "I'm not curious."
“Alright then.” Shen Xiao wasn’t surprised; their captain always did this. “Then I’ll take my dog son with me to take a look. Hehe, I heard that Omega is quite handsome.”
The other Alpha, Bai Chen, nicknamed "Dog Son," glanced at the screen while simultaneously giving the middle finger.
Xie Wei remained silent. Ultimately, he had indeed marked Xu Ziyan, but he had also helped her with the matter, so they were even. As for which Alpha was interested in Xu Ziyan, that was none of his concern.
That's how it should be.
"etc."
Xie Wei canceled the waiting button for the ranked match, stood up with a dark face, and said, "I'll go too."

Inside the training room of the second team, all the team members were focused on the screen and operating the equipment. The sounds of the mouse and keyboard, along with the calls for points and commands, were all orderly and efficient.
Of course, this is only on the surface.
Xiao Qun, a regular member of the second team, kept beeping from the moment Xu Ziyan walked into the training room.
Sitting at a nearby computer, Yuan Shaofeng, a regular member of the second team, operated the computer and typed at the same time, managing both tasks simultaneously.
[Attacking - Yuan: Holy crap! I'd heard before that Ice was coming to TWG's youth academy, and I'd also heard he was an Omega, but I never thought it was true! Why didn't I hear any of this before?!]
[Sniper - KK: They're very low-key. Do you think everyone is like you, taking a picture and posting it on Weibo, in groups, and on social media every time they squeeze out a little too much toothpaste?]
[Assault - Hide: But Ice is indeed quite good-looking.]
[Assault-Yuan: Yes!!! And her personality is great too! Her methods are good too! So much better than the previous one who loved to cause trouble! Waaah, thank goodness I've been praying at the temple for years, and now it's finally worked!]
[Sniper - KK: By the way, do you guys know why Xu Mingran suddenly left the team?]
[Ambush - Yuan: Why?]
[Sniper - KK: I heard he's incredibly audacious. That day at Huating, he drugged Captain Xie and even tried to take him back to his dorm.]
[Assault - Hide: ?]
[Assault - Yuan: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Holy crap, is this for real? Don't lie to me!]
[Ambush - KK: Why would I lie to you?]
[Attacking - Yuan: Holy crap... that guy's got some serious guts and an incredibly wild imagination!]
[Assault - Hide: So he left, and Ice came.]
[Assault - Yuan: That guy just hasn't grasped reality. Come on, who is Captain Xie? He's a top-tier Alpha, an existence unattainable for ordinary people, the sniper god of the Resistance. Tempted by an Omega? Please, you're dreaming! Unless it's a god descended to earth, I don't believe anyone could make Captain Xie fall into this mortal realm.]
In the last row by the window, Xu Ziyan, who seemed to have descended from heaven, was wearing headphones and meticulously conducting his daily routine of tracking shots. After shooting a batch of targets, the software showed his results: his accuracy had improved by 2.5%.
It's not bad.
Xu Ziyan moved the mouse, about to start another game, when someone gently patted his shoulder from behind. He turned around and saw Lu Donglou, the coach of the second team.
Unlike the lazy, money-grubbing coach in the youth academy, Lu Donglou has an excellent reputation as a coach. TWG's second team is one of the top teams in the secondary league, which is inseparable from Lu Donglou's dedication and responsibility.
Xu Ziyan took off her headphones: "Coach."
Lu Donglou nodded to him: "How's it going? Are you keeping up with the training?"
Xu Ziyan smiled and said, "It's fine, there's no problem."
Lu Donglou nodded, then glanced at Xu Ziyan's computer screen. Seeing the software results, he nodded in satisfaction. This headshot rate and hand speed were comparable to an assault soldier.
When he was suddenly notified that a new medical substitute was joining the team and asked to take a look, Lu Donglou was a little suspicious. But when the head coach mysteriously leaned in and told him that the substitute was an Omega and that Xie Wei had personally recommended him, Lu Donglou was truly shocked.
The shock was like being struck by lightning.
Lu Donglou wasn't the type to gossip or be particularly fond of gossip, but when he heard the news, he couldn't help but think the wrong thing.
So much so that when he first met Xu Ziyan, he secretly sized up the child's appearance.
However, after watching Xu Ziyan play two games, Lu Donglou's thoughts took a sharp turn.
Xu Ziyan possesses genuine skills in both operation and awareness.
Lu Donglou smiled and said, "I'm relieved to hear that. Alright, you can start training on your own now, and get to know the rest of the second team while you're at it."
The statement that Xu Ziyan should get acquainted with the members of the second team was practically an open affirmation of Xu Ziyan's abilities.
Xu Ziyan understood what Lu Donglou meant, her eyes lit up, and her smile deepened: "Okay, thank you, Coach!"
Lu Donglou nodded, glanced at Xu Ziyan's stats again, and shook his head with a smile. It seemed his own thinking was too sordid. After all, it was Xie Wei; how could she recommend someone for the team based on looks? It would definitely be based on ability!
As soon as he turned around, he saw Xie Wei, who had never been swayed by beauty, standing outside the training room door, staring intently at Xu Ziyan, who had already started chatting with the other team members, with an unfriendly expression.
It's like being jealous.
Lu Donglou glanced at Xie Wei, then at Xu Ziyan, and realized something. He stumbled and nearly fell.
