Chapter 351: There is not much time left for Xingxin!

"Do whatever you want?" Upon hearing these four words, Baozi's haggard eyes with thick dark circles slowly widened. The first thing he felt was not surprise, but suspicion.

After scratching his head for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked around slyly and asked in a low voice:

"Are you going to get new business, boss?"

"What new business?" Ye Xiu thought that since they had freed Baozi, Baozi would have to say a few words of thanks or show his loyalty or something, but the first sentence he said confused him.

Baozi still looked sly, and pointed a finger toward the sky: "Is there going to be a new game up there?"

"New game? I heard that there are indeed some projects in development... but what does it have to do with us?" Ye Xiu didn't react for a moment and was a little confused.

All I can say is that he is worthy of being called Baozi. His thinking speed is so fast that even Ye Xiu can't keep up with him.

"Stop, stop, stop. Start from the beginning. Why did you suddenly mention the new game?" Seeing that the topic was about to go off track, Mingkai quickly spoke up to bring things back to the starting point.

As Baozi's master, he could still understand Baozi's thought process a little bit. This kid probably thought of something extraordinary on his own.

"Didn't the boss say that I can play freely in future competitions?"

"They let me play freely, which means they don't care about the results in LPL anymore."

"The only way the boss wouldn't care about LPL's performance is if they made a game that was much better than League of Legends and needed the boss' support!"

“Could it be an enhanced version of Glory?” Baozi enthusiastically explained his thoughts and looked at Ye Xiu expectantly.

It seems that he really believes that Tenghai is about to release a new game.

“No new games.” Ye Xiu’s face began to turn darker.

Although his reason told him that Baozi needed encouragement and confidence now and should have a smile on his face.

But when he actually faced Baozi, he still found it difficult to keep calm.

"No new games? Why?" Baozi was stunned, then he understood:

"I understand! Boss, you want Master to start!"

"I understand! Master is the coach after all, and he needs a reasonable reason to appear on the court. So my performance must be bad enough so that when Master appears on the court, he will be regarded as the savior by the fans."

Although they were discussing KTV's own problems, Baozi was still cheerful and even raised his chest to Mingkai:
"Don't worry, Master. I will definitely give you a perfect chance to return as the king!"

Mingkai's face darkened. He was even more rude than Ye Xiu and slapped Baozi's magical head:

"What are you thinking, you little bastard? You want me, an old man, to play a BO5? I'm telling you, unless you're in the hospital, no one can take your starting position away from you!"

Seeing Baozi's eyes rolling around again, Mingkai suspected that he had really started thinking about how to get himself to the hospital.

“No? Who told you that we let you play freely and don’t care about the results?” Ye Xiu’s face was full of black lines.

He finally found the core problem in Baozi's thought process.

All of Baozi's speculations are based on the fact that he completely equates "free play" and "losing the game".

"But when I play freely, I can't win the game at all?" Baozi said as if it was a matter of course.

"Before Master came to teach me, I couldn't even reach the Grandmaster level. We also played very stumblingly in the early games. It took a lot of effort to reach the current level, but I'm still not a very strong jungler."

"If I were allowed to play freely, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to beat the next LGM."

Although Baozi still had a playful look on his face, the anger in Ye Xiu and Ming Kai's eyes had gradually been replaced by solemnity.

Baozi's confidence has completely collapsed, and it has collapsed to the point that he has become accustomed to denying himself.

He no longer has even a little confidence in himself.

If this continues... we will suffer a great loss.

Ye Xiu and Ming Kai looked at each other, Ye Xiu considered his words, and then spoke:
"So you think that if you don't use the ideas that Mingkai taught you, you won't be able to play well?"

"Yes, without a master, I can't even become a master." Baozi nodded.

"But the question is, are you sure you have controlled the variables?" After sorting out his thoughts, Ye Xiu suddenly asked.

Using conventional persuasion methods, the effect is minimal for today's Baozi.

He is so good at taking the initiative in conversations.

You have to come up with a surprise move, preferably one that confuses him, so that you can take the initiative into your own hands.

Sure enough, Baozi was stunned: "What does control variable mean?"

A person who came from a gangster family and had escaped the nine-year compulsory education naturally did not understand the meaning of this word.

Seeing that it really worked, Ye Xiu was thankful while continuing to speak in a vague way:
"The so-called control variables are often used to control factors for multi-factor problems, turning multi-factor problems into multiple single-factor problems..."

He deliberately used the most official and written expression, and sure enough, he saw question marks appearing in Baozi's eyes.

At this moment, Ye Xiu thanked his family from the bottom of his heart for the first time, for giving him the most solid education before he was fifteen years old, so much so that he could still remember some middle school terms.

It is enough to fool a quasi-mother-in-law like Baozi.

Seeing that Baozi was completely confused, Ye Xiu coughed twice and began to explain in a language that Baozi could understand:

"To put it simply, if you think that your lack of strength is due to your previous way of thinking, then you need to ensure that everything other than your way of thinking is exactly the same as before."

"But in reality, can it be the same?" Ye Xiu asked with a smile.

"You can't even get to Diamond, you don't even know the most basic hero combos, you just rely on your excellent reaction and hand speed to hold on."

"You have just started playing the game. Although you have learned a lot of basic skills, you lack competition experience and have no idea what can help us win."

"But what now?"

Baozi subconsciously wanted to refute at first, but as he listened, perhaps because Ye Xiu’s long speech was indeed scary, he gradually stopped talking.

Seeing that it was effective, Ye Xiu immediately increased his strength:
"You are now proficient in the technology and have reached a peak level of operation."

"At the same time, a whole year of competition experience has made you understand little by little what it takes to help the team win."

"In addition to that, there is also the intuition and mentality during the game..."

He patted Baozi on the shoulder and said, "It is no exaggeration to say that you have undergone an all-round transformation."

These words are certainly not nonsense.

In fact, from the launch of the game, to the qualifiers, and then to the LPL Spring and Summer Seasons, the entire league, including all the players, are almost undergoing their own transformation.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the Happy team that was slaughtered in the qualifying round was put directly into the current league, it would be a huge success for them to keep their place. Seeing that Baozi seemed to have realized something, Mingkai took over the conversation: "Let's talk about the idea."

"The jungle position requires a lot of awareness and thinking from the player, that's for sure."

"However, if you only know some formulaic playing methods, you can be in the middle, but you will never be able to truly become the top."

"You see, Baozi, you can't always use what I taught you."

Baozi finally spoke, and his previous carefree tone quietly disappeared, but it was still full of doubts about himself:

"But if I use my own ideas now, isn't it likely that it will be worse than the formula?"

"But it could be better, right?" Mingkai smiled.

"If your wild ideas work, the impact on the battle situation will be beyond the reach of other junglers."

“What if it doesn’t work?”

Mingkai also patted Baozi on the shoulder: "Then use your awareness, experience, and skills to cover yourself!"

After going around in circles, we finally brought the topic back to the main point.

In fact, Ye Xiu and Ming Kai’s purpose of coming to find Baozi was very clear from the beginning: they felt it was time to liberate Baozi.

In the past, Baozi had to follow a formula because he had no foundation at all. In this case, most of the ideas he came up with were pure randomness.

When laying the foundation, it is naturally impossible to let Baozi be willful.

But now, Baozi’s foundation is already very solid, and his experience and awareness have also grown greatly, so the situation is different.

The experience and awareness he gained from a whole year of competition would allow him to screen out those outrageous ideas as soon as they came to his mind, and eliminate those ridiculous plans that seemed unfeasible at first glance.

His operation allows him to rely on his operation and the support of his teammates to help him even when he shakes out three.

If the former Baozi was allowed to play freely, he would have a 90% chance of being a ghost and a 10% chance of being a god.
So for Baozi now, basically there is a 30% chance of being a super god, a 40% chance of being mediocre, and the remaining 30% chance of having a negative effect, and there is a high probability that he will not be a super ghost.

Considering that Baozi's magical thinking affects not only Xingxin, but also the opponent's rhythm may be disrupted by Baozi's pure chaos.
So, if we liberate Baozi and let him play freely, it will basically bring stable positive returns.

Anyway, if Xingxin doesn't make any changes, it will be basically difficult for them to compete for the championship with Fanhua, the champion of the spring season, and Blue Rain, a team favored by the new version.

In that case, why not let Baozi have free rein?

After listening to Ye Xiu and Ming Kai's thorough analysis, Baozi finally stopped clamoring to give up the starting position, and some thoughts began to appear in his eyes.

"Okay, don't just stand there, we've already decided on this."

Seeing that the time was right, Ye Xiu did not give Baozi time to consider and directly issued the decision that he and Ming Kai had discussed for a long time.

"From now on, you can open an alias and practice in ranked matches. We won't care about anything else, but you are not allowed to use conventional jungle strategies!"

"You can do whatever you want, but if we check your videos and find that you play in a formulaic way, you will have to practice more!"

There was a hint of threat in these words, which frightened Baozi so much that he nodded rapidly, but Ye Xiu remained unmoved.

Baozi is also the type of person who needs someone to push him in order to make rapid progress.

Anyway, they still have a soft persimmon to pinch before the match against Fanhua, and combined with the ranking training, it should be enough to stabilize Baozi.

If it builds confidence, that’s great…

……

After that day, an account named "Shuanghua Honggun" appeared in the high-ranking segment of the national server and quickly attracted the attention of a number of experts.

This guy's thinking is extremely weird and unpredictable. You can never predict when he will clear the jungle or invade, and he doesn't even mind sacrificing some efficiency for this.

At first everyone thought it was some newbie who bought an account and was messing around, but as more and more people were matched with him, players were surprised to find that this guy had strong skills and awareness, and he just didn't play by the rules.

Thus, there was another legend in the canyon about one person wandering around and nine others panicking.

While the Chinese server is in chaos, the LPL playoffs are also in full swing.

The first round went by quickly.

As the game with the least suspense, Xingxin naturally defeated LGM 3-0 with ease.

Although LGM had once performed the feat of defeating Fanhua in BO3, no one thought that they could defeat Xingxin, who had been prepared for them, in BO5, which was more of a test of hard power.

But the specific process of the game still surprised the audience.

During the game, Baozi's condition, which had already been questioned, plummeted again. It could even be said that he was beaten by Guohao, who was in excellent form that day.

If LGM's configuration wasn't so bad, and if all three lanes, including the core player Hai Chao, were completely suppressed by other members of Happy, maybe they could really have snatched one or two wins from Happy.

After the game, LGM fans have started to open champagne, and many fans have even started to research what champion skin to choose for next year.

As an optimistic family, the LGM club, from the players to the fans, exudes an atmosphere of optimism.

For them, being able to progress from the abyss of being close to the relegation match all the way to getting the final spot in the playoffs, and even successfully fighting against the Big Three team Xingxin, is simply a huge win.

Even because they have an advantage in the overall ranking of the spring and summer seasons compared to Zhu Xian in the spring season, they can even play in the bubble game.

What if we make it to the World Championship like this?
Rounding off, Guohao is also at the level of a championship jungler!

As for Xingxin, although they won, the doubts were growing.

Although insiders knew that Baozi was still looking for the feeling of free play, from the outside, it seemed that this jungler, who was not very good to begin with, was beginning to collapse.

Considering that Mingkai had performed well in the previous game, some fans have even called on the head coach to warm up quickly.

Before the Spring Season Playoffs, the famous blogger Chang Xian, who gave Fanhua a B+ in strength prediction, also made another assertion at this time:

"Happy needs to make changes quickly!"

"If they continue to play like this in the next game,"

"Then, they are likely to be the only team among the Big Three that will need to compete with other teams for a spot in the bubble match."

"There really isn't much time left for them!"

　Updated. What can I say about Yuncheng... it's quite fun.

　　Go to Salt Lake and Guandi Temple tomorrow.
