Chapter 59
During the evening free training, Qu Xing put down his mouse and walked over to He Weichen: "Brother Chen."
"Hmm?" He Weichen looked up.
"Let's go." Qu Xing said naturally, as if asking him to go out and play basketball: "Let's talk~"
He Weichen was stunned and subconsciously looked at Ling Yin.
"What are you looking at him for?" Qu Xing said with a smile, "Let's talk!"
He Weichen saw Ling Yin's eyes glance towards him calmly, then calmly retracted. He felt vaguely aware of what Qu Xing wanted to do with him, and suddenly felt a little reluctant.
Qu Xing simply pulled his chair over and pushed it out.
"Wait..." He Weichen stepped on the brake: "Stop! I'm leaving!"
He Weichen thought Qu Xing was here to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, or perhaps to "correct" him again. He was already irritated before the conversation even began. So irritated was he that his impression of Qu Xing instantly dimmed.
At this moment, I really like this captain who never talks nonsense. Ling Yin's personality of not taking others seriously is simply too good. Can you just let me be myself? What's the point of you scolding me for a problem I can't even solve myself?
"I watched your old videos for a day," Qu Xing said.
"Huh?" He Weichen was stunned: "Look at this...what's wrong?"
"Just watching." Qu Xing said, "Actually, I've watched it before. Not just you, I've basically covered every famous pro player in the LPL. But because DL Lingyin's style took up so much space, I didn't pay as much attention to you guys back then."
He Weichen was shocked: "...Oh."
Holy shit, this guy. How much work does this have to be like???
"What about you?" He Weichen paused, feeling the embarrassment of having his underwear exposed by someone stripping him like that. "What did you see?"
Qu Xing: "I know those things are within your judgment. You are very accurate in calculating the damage, and most of the time you are correct."
"..." He Weichen turned his head and looked at the corner of the sofa without saying a word.
"Brother Chen." Qu Xing shifted his position and turned to him, his eyes clear and serious. "Maybe the coach has been scolding you too much lately, giving you the impression that you're stupid and deserve to be scolded."
"..." He Weichen choked and looked at him speechlessly: "Are you scolding me?"
"No!" Qu Xing said hurriedly, "That's not what I meant to say. I know you have your own judgment in your heart, and you definitely understand it better than the coach. You can't immediately change your style just because the coach scolds you."
He Weichen smiled emotionlessly: "Impossible."
Qu Xing nodded: "Yes, you can't change it, and you shouldn't change it."
He Weichen's grip on the sofa armrest loosened slightly, and he turned around in a daze, meeting Qu Xing's unclouded eyes. Those eyes were truly magical, as if they could always reassure you, as if they wouldn't reveal any rash judgments about you. Just like Ling Yin, yet a little different.
Ling Yin doesn't look at you seriously, letting you act however you want, whether you're ostentatious or shabby, it doesn't matter to him. Qu Xing, on the other hand, looks at everything very seriously, reflecting your true self clearly.
An inappropriate thought popped up in He Weichen's mind: These two are really a match made in heaven.
Qu Xing continued, his clear voice echoing throughout the room. "Because you're a genius, you're Blaze. If you immediately change your ways and become timid and afraid to play because of a few scoldings from the coach, you're no longer Blaze. Forget about beating UNG, you might not even be able to make it in the LPL, which is full of geniuses. If everyone is afraid to do things and afraid of making mistakes, this team can't become a top team."
"Yes. No matter how many times, I would rather make a mistake than do nothing." He Weichen also criticized Le Anyi: "Le Anyi didn't make any mistakes. His role is to avoid making mistakes."
Qu Xing smiled and changed the subject: "But."
He Weichen froze for no apparent reason.
"Who among the professional players who's made it this far doesn't rely on extraordinary talent?" Qu Xing tilted his head slightly. "Talent is a very mysterious thing. It might not require you to use your brain too hard, but there's also a fatal problem: your upper limit is limited by your talent."
"Perhaps from the time you started playing games as a child until you finally retired, no matter how hard you tried, apart from the experience gained through competition, it was difficult to make any breakthroughs. You were always stuck in the circle defined by your own talent."
"You think you're a one-in-a-million genius, but there's always someone more gifted than you. That's when the talent you're so proud of spirals out of control. It's truly unchangeable. If you cut away the instincts that drive this talent, you'll end up cutting away more than just mistakes."
"You're right." He Weichen looked at him: "If it can't be changed, then what should I do?"
"Practice," Qu Xing said. "It's not about practicing how to succeed every time you make a decision. After all, there are some people you just can't beat."
He Weichen had a feeling that he was about to pick up a martial arts secret book.
Qu Xing said, "Practice can help you quickly determine whether you can make the grade or not. You may be so tired of hearing this; everyone keeps telling you this. But no one tells you exactly how to practice."
He Weichen listened quietly.
Qu Xing: "Let's say it's 13:22, 38 seconds before the Rift Herald respawns. You're Lee Sin, and the opponent's top laner is Noxus. You have Flash, and Smite is on cooldown. You see Noxus's Q still has 3 seconds on cooldown. Based on your habit, would you choose to invade from the triangle grass to counter the Stone Beetle?"
"Wait, wait, wait..." He Weichen thought for a moment and said, "It's true."
His hair stood on end. He turned his head and looked around. He picked up a pen and paper, as if he wanted to write down everything he said. "Go on."
Qu Xing: "You hit the Scarab with Q at 13:25, followed up with the second stage of Q and then E."
He Weichen: "Fuck."
"At 13:27, Nasus will emerge from the brush. You anticipate he's going to use Q to clear the jungle, so move to the inner circle to avoid him. If the top laner is using Nasus," Qu Xing chose someone for him. "For example, Zane. He might actually use Q directly, and you'll dodge the damage. You'll then be able to counter-jungle and recover health, and maybe even force the opponent to flash."
What he said almost completely matched his own thoughts. He Weichen said, "Yes..."
"But what if Noxus is Anvy?" Qu Xing tilted his head slightly and looked at him: "You predicted it, but can he be completely predicted by you?"
He Weichen was stunned.
"If it's Anvy, he'll fake a move and then step back. You won't have time to react before he tricks you into moving. He'll seize the opportunity and kill you instantly."
He Weichen was silent for a while, and looked Qu Xingzhou up and down as if searching for something.
Qu Xing: "...Are you listening?"
He Weichen slowly opened his mouth and revealed the same stupid expression as Le Anyi: "You just made all this up in your head???"
"Let's say it's a Dragon Soul fight now." Qu Xing ignored this and said seriously, "You're Viego. The opponent has Graves and Syndra. Once you have your ultimate, according to your decision, you'll use B to flank behind to position a ward and use W to control Syndra. You'll bet on their skill connection window."
Qu Xing: "You calculated the damage of your skills very accurately. According to your imagination, you flashed W to stun Syndra, followed by your ultimate to kill her, triggering the pain of the soul, and also took out the low-health Graves. It was a great decision to fight two against one."
He Weichen still couldn't believe it: "You only needed one day to understand me to this extent???"
"Haven't we been teammates for such a long time..." Qu Xing smiled speechlessly: "But if it's UNG's mid-jungle, imagine what kind of situation he'll encounter."
He Weichen was silent for a moment, and was horrified to find that he couldn't even imagine it: "I don't know."
"Yes, because you only consider yourself, not your opponent," Qu Xing said. "Yina has a habit of anticipating your flanking moves. Syndra moved back 0.5 seconds in advance, flashing to dodge your W and counterattack you. With Upper's damage calculation ability and reaction, he could have coordinated with Syndra to kill you instantly. The Dragon Soul was impossible to fight for, and the brilliant decision-making you were so proud of ultimately resulted in the deaths of you and your teammates."
He Weichen was shocked and horrified, thinking for a long time: "But..."
"I know it's a bit difficult for you to understand this level and react in those few fractions of a second on the court."
He Weichen thought to himself that this was more than just a little difficult, was this something a human could actually do?
Qu Xing's voice was light and calm: "So I can help you skip the complicated part at the beginning."
Oh shit, I really found a martial arts secret book.
"Come and find me for a solo. Or feel free to discuss it with me. Pay attention to it when you're reviewing your own scrimmages." Qu Xing smiled and tilted his head. "Keep going, Brother Chen. If we lose to UNG again, our next chance at the world championship might have to wait until all the EKN members retire."
The problem is that everyone at EKN is very young...
He Weichen broke out in a cold sweat after hearing what he said: "Okay."
"Okay! I'll go downstairs and find something to eat." Qu Xing touched his stomach and muttered as he walked towards the door, "Why am I so hungry?"
He Weichen returned to the training room in a daze, and Le Anyi kept glancing at him. He had been a little hesitant to talk to He Weichen recently because he was in a bad mood. When he was in a bad mood, he would become bitter and resentful. Not to mention talking to him, Le Anyi even felt uncomfortable sitting next to him.
But now I feel like I’m in a good mood?
He hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "What did Xingxing say to you?"
He Weichen carefully pondered Qu Xing's words. Although he had already reacted, he still grabbed his hair and said, "Fuck."
Le Anyi: “What’s wrong?”
"Doesn't Qu Xing's brain really need to be sent to the research institute?" He Weichen glared at Le Anyi. The depression he had felt over the past few days was completely swept away by Qu Xing.
Le Anyi also glared at him: "What's wrong with him?"
He Weichen counted on his fingers, "His reflexes are quick, needless to say. His movements are always a few tenths of a second faster than others. He can clearly see all the information in a fleeting scene, and his dynamic vision is terrifying. And then there's his damage calculations and distance control, which are incredibly precise. And the key is, he's studied me so thoroughly in one fucking day, it's like he has my brain implanted in his body."
Le Anyi: “What?”
"It's not just me. I think he's stolen the brains of all the LPL players." He Weichen said, looking at him and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Le Anyi stared without saying anything.
"Tsk." He Weichen turned to Ling Yin: "Captain, do you understand what I mean?"
Ling Yin smiled: "I understand."
