“I don’t see any problems,” the technician replied.

“When the “A” key is pressed, the other keys on the keyboard fail to function,” Luocheng told the technician.

“Really? Let me check again.” Following what Luocheng had said, he started pressing the other keys while holding down the A key.

As expected, when both keys were almost pressed at the same time, the latter key would not function. Realizing the reason for the problem, the technician opened the program and checked for malfunctions.

The third round which should have started was thus delayed due to the necessary maintenance required for the malfunction, and Luocheng’s screen was projected on the big screen.

Confused, Qi Qiao asked, “What are they doing?”

“I think the keyboard is dysfunctional,” Tinghua said.

“Huh? A dysfunctional keyboard?” Qi Qiao looked at Tinghua, confused.

“Under normal circumstances, both commands would be issued when two keys are pressed, but occasionally, with a dysfunctional keyboard, only one key would present its function when both keys are pressed. From how they are fixing it, I guess the problem lies with the “A” key and the QWER keys.”

“We don’t usually need that function in LOL, though, right?” Qi Qiao asked yet again.

Seeing Qi Qiao still dumbfounded, Tinghua could only shake his head and continued to explain further.

“Some professional gamers are used to commencing attacks for their character with the A key. It is also common for them to press that same button continuously so their fingers stay active to press other keys efficiently while keeping their characters in the attacking position. As such, some players who accidentally pressed two keys simultaneously will either be unable to send out the command of the Q or the A key.”

Qi Qiao was mind blown as this could be the first time that she had heard such a detailed analysis. She turned to look at the technician at work on the big screen.

“If so, I assume Xiao Bei has a habit of always pressing the A key, which would cause his keyboard to malfunction.”

Tinghua nodded his head in agreement, “From the mistakes he made the last two rounds, it seems like this was the cause.”

“Oh, so that’s it… No wonder professional gamers always prefer to use their own keyboards and mouse. Having been unable to unleash his full potential, I think that this is quite understandable.”

“Truth to be told, these types of technical problems are quite frustrating, and Xiao Bei who was able to come this far has proven that he has an even greater potential in him still dormant, unable to shine.” Tinghua continued.

Tinghua did not take a person lightly despite the enmity between him and Luocheng. Before Luocheng had requested for a change of keyboard, he would never have had this thought. If Xiao Bei had been using the malfunctioned keyboard the last two rounds, his skills could only be described as marvelous.

Hearing Tinghua’s words, everyone present could only be in awe. So, it wasn’t the ADC of Team Skycrown who was to blame, but the malfunction of the keyboard?

Thinking back to the past two matches, the movement and control of Team Skycrown’s ADC were quite the highlight, but was unfortunately ignored because of this.

“Using a dysfunctional keyboard up against Siyong while still being able to play with such standards, that’s quite heroic.”

“Exactly, after changing the keyboard, I think Siyong will be kissing his third consecutive win goodbye.”

“In addition, seeing as how the coach of Team Skycrown was able to point out the problem easily, he is surely something.”

Tons of comments started to flood in, and in an instant, the audience’s view on Xiao Bei was changing for the better.

…

After a short while, the technician came back with a new keyboard.

“We are truly sorry for being clueless toward the habits of professional gamers such as you guys.” The technician apologized.

“Xiao Bei, give it a try.” Luocheng stood up to let him try.

Xiao Bei was stunned and pointed at himself. “Me…?”

“If not you, who else would it be? You are the ADC,” replied Luocheng.

“Yeah, quickly give it a try to see if there are any problems, if there is none, let’s get this show on the road.” Wu Sen said as he gave Xiao Bei a light pat on the shoulder.

Xiao Bei looked at everyone, and seeing how they wanted him to join the team for the third match, his eyes turned red. A while ago, he had thought that Luocheng was going to replace him, he never expected that he would get to play!

“Allow me to appeal for a rematch from the head judge since your loss was due to the fault on our end.” The technician tried to make up for the inconveniences caused.

“There’s no need to do so.” Luocheng denied the offer as he was pretty sure the head judge would not allow it over such a minor accident.

“No?” The technician looked at him blankly.

“I have faith in him.” Luocheng affirmed as he patted Xiao Bei on the shoulder.

“Just stick to how we practiced before and go on to the third match.”

After saying that, Luocheng left the stage area.

Seeing Luocheng’s shadow fade from the tournament arena, Xiao Bei could only feel the excitement in him gradually intensify. He nodded his head, wiped his tears, and his hands started moving swiftly across the keyboard.

With the hindrance removed, the movement speed of his hands escalated drastically, leaving everyone’s mouth wide open in full admiration.

Ignoring some minor mistakes at the beginning, he was already at an inhuman pace entering the keys smoothly and accurately, almost on par with Luocheng. Although his speed of pressing the A key was still behind Luocheng, it was also already quite a sight to behold.

The once shivering and panicked hands had become in sync with the keyboard, as though they were of one body executing all the commands with perfect coordination, not making a single mistake!

“Team Skycrown, can we start now?” the judge asked the team.

Da Luo, Lin Dong, Zhou Yan, and Wu Sen all put their attention toward Xiao Bei.

He closed the program, wiped away his nervous sweat and pulled himself together.

“O…okay, let’s start!”

…

Have you ever had those kinds of feelings before? The feeling of being an insignificant nobody, only acting as a burden for the team, but still being given faith and trust by your teammates?

These indescribable feelings were just…

Well, Xiao Bei, who had worked alone in a big city, was one such person who had never had this feeling of such warmth until now. He was absolutely clear of his abilities, also knowing that the opponent, Siyong, was not as strong as himself!

He was not some nobody nor a burden to the team, and he would definitely prove it with his all!

Not to mention, the country’s highest-ranking ADC player was not Bai Feng, but rather, he himself, Xiao Bei!
