The Failed Knight of Full-Time Master

[Transitional chapter, skip as appropriate]

Before the second round of competition with the Xingxin team, the Thunder team was constantly trying new tactics and lineups.

Until now, the Thunder has not decided on the lineup for the next team competition.

Needless to say, there is nothing much to say about the singles competition.

The strength of the players on both sides depends on whether the order in which the players appear is arranged is favorable.

The only thing that is certain now is that Ye Xiu will be the first to appear in the individual competition. Apart from that, how the Xingxin team will arrange the appearance list is only known by the players of the Xingxin team.

But team competitions are different.

Although it is difficult to target the Xingxin team, at least we can guess their strengths from the list of candidates.

After all, Team Xingxin only had a few top players, just enough to have five non-healing players in the team competition.

Therefore, Xingxin's team competition lineup will most likely not change much.

At most, it's the difference between the fifth and sixth person.

In other words, whether Sun Zheping will start or come on as a substitute.

But no matter which one, it will not change the original playing style of the Xingxin team.

The style and lineup system of the opponent Xingxin team are unlikely to change, which is good news for Xiao Shiqin.

In this way, Xiao Shiqin only needs to concentrate on trying to find the most ideal combination of personnel.

To this end, Xiao Shiqin also recruited young players from the Thunder Team and some players from other teams with whom he had a good relationship to help with training.

This was the Thunder's third game of the second day after returning to the base.

"You guys are really strong."

A person's voice was heard in the channel.

It was Wu Chen from the Wuji Team.

"I don't even know if we can avoid relegation once we enter the league."

Wu Chen also said this in a self-deprecating manner.

Although the Wuji team has become a part of the alliance in the eleventh season, the problem is that the players of the Wuji team are either a group of old guys or new players from various teams who have never played professionally.

Such a combination naturally makes it difficult for people to have confidence.

"Don't worry, you can definitely do it."

An Ning said to Wu Chen.

"You don't have to comfort me..."

Wu Chen sighed, then continued speaking.

"So, do you want to continue?"

It's already past eleven in the morning, and normally it's time for lunch.

"You guys take a rest first. I'll have to trouble you again in the afternoon."

An Ning said.

"Okay, just come to us if you have any questions."

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he also exited the voice channel.

In order to help Xiao Shiqin hone the roster for the second game, Xiao Shiqin, An Ning and Chu Yunxiu also mobilized their respective connections to simulate a lineup similar to that of the Xingxin team.

If they only rely on the Thunder team's youth training and substitutes, even if they select a lineup similar to that of the Happy team, because they are too familiar with each other, the Thunder players will subconsciously use a style of play that restrains the opponent.

Therefore, the only way is to choose some opponents who are relatively unfamiliar in the game.

The regular lineup of the Happy team is Ye Xiu's individual player, Su Mucheng's gunner, Sun Zheping's mad swordsman, Fang Rui's thief, and An Wenyi's cold hands.

The priest's aspect is relatively easy to talk about. After all, An Wenyi is a player who is criticized a lot in the Xingxin team.

Therefore, in this regard, An Ning asked Zhao Mianzhi, the former priest player of the Thunder Team, to make a guest appearance.

Although An Ning can go find Feng Xiangming who is now in the Excellent Era team.

The reason why An Ning didn't look for him was not because she didn't want to trouble Feng Xiangming, but simply because Feng Xiangming was too comprehensive and there was no way he could simulate some of An Wenyi's defects.

But Zhao Mianzhi is different. His condition has been bad for a long time. In a sense, he is somewhat similar to An Wenyi.

Next came the gunners.

Originally, An Ning was thinking of the gunner player from the Void Team.

But before that, the captain of the Void Team, Li Xuan, and the deputy captain, Wu Yuce, both went to City B as a sparring area, so it is difficult to contact them now.

The captain didn't say anything, so it was naturally impossible for the team member to easily accept An Ning's invitation.

Therefore, An Ning had no choice but to give up on them and choose others.

Therefore, the only options left were Guo Shao from the Magic Team, Cheng Shi from the Royal Wind Team, and Wu Chen from the Wuji Team.

Cheng Zhi... Firstly, it was because An Ning was not very familiar with the other party, and secondly, it was because the other party was already preparing for the retirement ceremony.

As for Guo Shao, he is actually similar to Wu Chen.

Wu Chen is more familiar with An Ning, so An Ning found Wu Chen.

On the Berserker side, the best choice is Yu Feng, but Yu Feng has already left because of the World Invitational Tournament, so the only one left is Lou Guanning.

But considering that Lou Guanning and Happy Thunder had a good relationship, in order not to embarrass the other party, An Ning did not invite the other party, but let Thunder's own Zhang Qi take over.

As for Ye Xiu's own individual player, there was really nothing that could be done about it.

Ye Xiu was the only individual player who had the Thousand Machine Umbrella.

Although silver weapons can be copied, the prerequisite is to have a data map.

However, considering that the next team match between the two sides will require An Ning and Ye Xiu to play alone, it doesn’t matter whether there is someone to simulate the individual players.

The two most difficult issues to deal with are actually thieves and qigong masters.

As for the qigong master, An Ning only contacted Sun Haowen, with whom she had a good relationship.

But Sun Haowen's strength is mediocre, and it would be difficult for him to simulate Zhao Yang's level.

As for the thieves, they were completely in the dark.

There is really no other thief as despicable as Fang Rui in the current alliance.

Therefore, An Ning could only recruit a young thief and ask him to imitate Fang Rui's playing style.

At this point, we have pieced together a sparring lineup.

But in order to simulate the opponent's tactical level, Thunder simply ignored An Ning and Ye Xiu and went straight to a four-on-four battle.

Xiao Shiqin is naturally the commander of the Thunder.

The other side was given to An Ning.

This also explains why An Ning and Wu Chen are in the same voice channel.

"Okay, let's eat first. After dinner, take a break and then we'll continue the simulation game."

An Ning also said this to the players around her.

"it is finally over……"

Several members of the Thunder also took off their headsets with a feeling of relief.

This kind of simulation training match is different from the official competition.

As professional teams, each team has a dedicated client, which can be paused at any time and adjust the player's health, mana, skill cooldown and other settings at any time.

This is why simulation training matches are different from official matches.

After all, the level of the sparring team led by An Ning is not good enough to compete with the Xingxin team.

Therefore, you need to use the settings at any time to change the player's skill cooldown and health and mana.

This means that in training matches, time has often had to be rewound or paused for adjustments.

This also makes the Thunder players very tired.

It's normal to complain.

"Little brother? Aren't you coming with me?"

Seeing that An Ning did not leave, Chu Yunxiu also said to An Ning.

"Just bring me one copy, whatever you want will do."

An Ning really had no appetite to eat now.

"Okay, I'll bring you a copy when I get back, Lao Xiao, what about you?"

Afterwards, Chu Yunxiu also looked at Xiao Shiqin who was sitting in front of the computer without moving.

"Please bring me one too."

Xiao Shiqin raised his head and looked at Chu Yunxiu.

"Just like Xiao An."

Xiao Shiqin added another sentence.

"Hey...you two."

Chu Yunxiu shook her head helplessly.

"Okay, I'll take care of it for you two, but you two also have to make sure you get some rest."

Chu Yunxiu also gave an instruction.

"it is good."

An Ning and Xiao Shiqin nodded.

Afterwards, Chu Yunxiu also left the training room directly.

After Chu Yunxiu left, An Ning also stood up and came to Xiao Shiqin's side.

"How's it going? What's the gain?"

An Ning said.

Because An Ning was the opponent from the beginning to the end, and he was using the controller to make fine adjustments from the beginning to the end, which led to An Ning not paying much attention to the training effect of the Thunder.

"It's not very good..."

In front of An Ning, Xiao Shiqin naturally would not hide anything.

"Knew it."

An Ning nodded and said.

Although An Ning didn't pay much attention to the situation on Lei Ting's side, she had anticipated Xiao Shiqin's "not so good" answer.

"It turns out to be a lineup issue."

An Ning said.

"That's right. Without you, our team's tankiness is really stretched."

Xiao Shiqin said.

The current lineup of the Thunder Team is Xiao Shiqin, An Ning, Chu Yunxiu, Qin Jingyin, and the fifth and sixth people are selected from Fang Xuecai, Lu Yining, and Dai Yanqi.

But no matter which two are chosen from the three choices,

This problem is actually easy to solve.

As long as you choose Zhang Qi or other melee players, the problem can naturally be solved.

But the problem is that several melee players on the Thunder team's bench are not very good at standing out.

It would be better to keep the status quo than to let them play in the game.

If the status quo remains, the Thunder can still tie with their opponents, but if they are really allowed to play, the Thunder might as well just admit defeat.

"To be honest, it would be nice if we had another knight on our side."

After saying this, Xiao Shiqin also thought of An Ning's successor in Yanyu, Xiangyang.

If there is such a new Cavalier, then the overall integrity of the Thunder lineup will be no problem.

But unfortunately, now is not the transfer period, even if the other party wants to come, Xiao Shiqin has no way to bring him over.

Not to mention, the other party had no intention of leaving the Misty Rain Team.

“But unfortunately, we don’t.”

An Ning shook his head and said.

After joining the Thunder Team in the ninth season, An Ning actually had plans to train a new knight player for the Thunder Team.

At the very least, at least train a new melee player.

But the problem is that the Thunder team's youth training is really poor.

It's the kind of difference that can be seen with the naked eye.

Put it this way, it may not be obvious.

For example, Qin Jingyin, who plays the Berserker version, is already considered one of the top newcomers in Thunder.

From this point, we can see how poor the Thunder's youth training is.

Although Lin Xia has invested a lot in youth training, youth training is different from buying players from the transfer market. You can't improve immediately just by having money.

This kind of thing should be done gradually.

Even if An Ning put all his energy into the Yanyu Youth Training, he would still only be able to train one Xiangyang.

"Why don't you just give up command and take charge of the front row yourself."

An Ning said to Xiao Shiqin.

"I?"

Xiao Shiqin was also stunned.

Indeed, as a mechanic, if Xiao Shiqin can focus on the operation, it is not impossible for him to temporarily serve as a front-row player.

Although Xiao Shiqin's operating level is not top-notch, in terms of awareness and judgment, Xiao Shiqin is the best.

"But in this case..."

Xiao Shiqin naturally knew that An Ning's proposal itself was feasible, but Xiao Shiqin was still a little worried.

"Then can you distract yourself from directing?"

Xiao Shiqin looked at An Ning.

After all, An Ning will face Ye Xiu head-on in the next game.

In the first round of the match between the two sides, even though An Ning did not take on the command task, he almost failed to defeat Ye Xiu.

If Ye Xiu really chose to distract An Ning from directing the battle in this round, then maybe he could use this to take An Ning away directly.

To deal with a player like Ye Xiu, it might not be enough if you don't give it your all.

"Old Xiao, have you forgotten that we still have someone who can take command here?"

An Ning said.

Coincidentally, Chu Yunxiu's figure appeared in the sight of both of them.

"I brought it back for you. Hurry up and eat. I have to go downstairs..."

Before Chu Yunxiu finished speaking, she found that An Ning and Xiao Shiqin's eyes were on her.

Being focused on by two pairs of eyes, Chu Yunxiu also felt a little unnatural.

"No...what happened to you? Are you possessed?"

Chu Yunxiu asked tentatively.

"It's okay, Sister Yunxiu, you can go down."

An Ning shook his head.

"Okay, I'll put it here. You two can eat it while it's hot."

Chu Yunxiu also put down the two lunch boxes in her hands.

Then he turned and left, disappearing from the sight of An Ning and Xiao Shiqin.

"You're right. I forgot. We still have someone here who can take command."

Xiao Shiqin said.

As the old captain of the Misty Rain Team, Chu Yunxiu is naturally very good at commanding.

Just because An Ning was in charge of the command later, we cannot ignore Chu Yunxiu's own command ability.

Chu Yunxiu just didn't want to give the order because she thought it was too troublesome.

It’s not because I don’t have the ability to command that I don’t give command.

Although he is not as good as Ye Xiu, Chu Yunxiu's command level can at least be considered first-class.

It was not a difficult task for Xiao Shiqin to help Chu Yunxiu with command while being responsible for resisting the injuries head-on.

With Chu Yunxiu as the main team and Xiao Shiqin as the auxiliary, they might even have some advantages against Xingxin, which Ye Xiu cannot command personally.

This method also made Xiao Shiqin's eyes light up.
