Cross Fire Episode 8 Recap
> Cross Fire Recap
Lu Xiaobei's computer was confiscated. No one could find what Lu Xiaobei's father had hidden. He only hoped that Lu Xiaonan would listen to Xiao Feng and not go to watch the competition. He didn't want to talk to Lu Xiaonan in front of the camera; he hoped his older brother could return. The rankings were out. The Continue team encountered the Bullet Head team. Wang Kai was incredibly excited; it turned out he and they used to be rivals.
The Bullet Head team was very strong; even Nezha and their captain, Shitou, weren't confident they could win against them. Monkey had left, and the team was missing a member. Those their age had long stopped playing, and those younger weren't willing to team up with them. Xiao Feng and Xu Wei both had a headache. After returning home, Xiao Feng heard a strange noise coming from An Lan's room.
He walked in and found An Lan engrossed in playing a game. Seeing Xiao Feng enter, she abruptly closed her laptop and unnaturally said that the game was quite difficult. Xiao Feng kindly guided An Lan. In a rush, he wrapped his arms around her from behind to help her play. An Lan suddenly turned her head, and the two almost had an intimate contact.
An Lan said she used to think games were just about fighting and killing, but after reading Xiao Feng's notes, she found that in some ways, it was very similar to mathematics. An Lan really wanted to learn, so Xiao Feng took her to an internet cafe. Entering the dilapidated and noisy internet cafe, An Lan looked wary. Xiao Feng led her to a spot and sat down, entering the game world. An Lan couldn't even walk in the game.
Xiao Feng patiently taught her step by step until, in the end, An Lan suddenly jumped into the sea, leaving Xiao Feng speechless. Xiao Feng taught An Lan how to shoot, but An Lan didn't even know how to hold a gun and headshotted Xiao Feng right at the start. The second time, Xiao Feng pointed at a wine bottle for An Lan to shoot, secretly preparing to run aside, but he was headshotted once again.
Xiao Feng simply stopped practicing shooting and taught An Lan how to throw grenades. As a result, An Lan threw her bracelet but kept the grenade, which exploded with a boom at their feet. An Lan felt a bit guilty. Xiao Feng, against his conscience, praised her talent. Xiao Feng demonstrated it once for An Lan, and her eyes, as she looked at him, were full of admiration.
In the internet cafe, someone suddenly stood up and challenged Xiao Feng, and also flirted with An Lan. Xiao Feng initially didn't want to play with them, but An Lan, in a fit of pique, accepted. Xiao Feng simply decided to play dumb and then strike (lit. " act like a pig to eat a tiger"). He took An Lan into the game and knocked out their opponents in minutes, then turned around and gave An Lan a confident smile.
Their opponents gradually approached. An Lan messed up at a crucial moment, so Xiao Feng had to use a taunt, calling her ugly. An Lan unleashed a burst of gunfire at the opponents and ultimately won the match. Seeing that she had won the match, An Lan screamed after she realized it, almost turning the internet cafe upside down. The Hundred Cities League began. Lu Xiaobei finally waited until his parents went to work, ready to play games.
However, his father ran back at that moment, having already guessed he was going to play games, and confiscated his keyboard and phone. Wang Kai and Cheng Hao came to pick up Lu Xiaobei, but they could only watch helplessly as Lu Xiaobei's father took him away. Just as they were about to give chase, their car ran out of gas.
Wang Kai and Cheng Hao decided to go to the internet cafe first; being short one player was better than being short three. Lu Xiaobei was taken to the police station office by his father. He finally got a call about something he needed to do, but his father even used a chain to lock Lu Xiaobei up. Lu Xiaobei was burning with anxiety. The organizing committee said the competition must start on time, otherwise, they would be disqualified.
Cheng Hao had no choice but to pull a random person from the internet cafe to fill Lu Xiaobei's spot. However, that person didn't know how to play at all, and they lost quite badly. Wang Kai, in a fit of emotion, cursed out their opponents. An Lan offered to be the manager for Xiao Feng's team. Xiao Feng thought she was crazy; they had only played once, how could An Lan have fallen in love with it already?
An Lan said it was an intuition. She also analyzed the development trend of esports with Xiao Feng and even found a player who could replace Monkey. Xiao Feng immediately felt a sense of admiration. Kylin called Xu Wei to say that A Ming was missing. Xiao Feng and An Lan rushed over and, after checking surveillance, found that A Ming had been abducted. Lu Xiaobei finally waited until no one was watching him.
He quickly took a bobby pin, intending to pick the handcuffs, but unexpectedly injured himself. At this moment, a delivery guy arrived at the police station. Lu Xiaobei offered him money to take him to the internet cafe, but he refused. In desperation, Lu Xiaobei treated himself as a package to be delivered. The delivery person said he had to deliver it to the headquarters according to company regulations.
Lu Xiaobei had no choice but to call Chu Ge on the way and ask her to bring a wheelchair. Chu Ge slowly arrived, pushing a supermarket shopping cart. Lu Xiaobei begged her to take him to the internet cafe, offering tutoring in exchange. Chu Ge rushed all the way to the internet cafe with Lu Xiaobei. However, the first round was already lost.
Lu Xiaobei calmly commanded the entire team and ultimately made a comeback against the odds in the second round. Chu Ge, watching from outside, was quite excited. Lu Xiaobei's father realized Lu Xiaobei was gone and quickly rushed to the internet cafe. Boss Luo felt a little guilty when he saw him. Outside the private room, Lu Xiaobei's father eventually softened his heart when he saw how serious Lu Xiaobei was.
Boss Luo said that Lu Xiaobei and Lu Xiaonan were actually not alike at all, but their expressions when playing games were exactly the same. Lu Xiaobei's father chose to leave, telling Boss Luo not to tell Lu Xiaobei that he had been there. As he left, Lu Xiaobei's father saw the news of Lu Xiaobei's win on the big screen, feeling a bittersweet pride. Chu Ge ran upstairs to help Lu Xiaobei put a band-aid on his hand.
Cheng Hao, Wang Kai, and Su Jiayi, seeing the situation, very tactfully decided not to be a third wheel. Boss Luo brought Lu Xiaobei's wheelchair. Lu Xiaobei immediately realized that his father had been there. Xiao Feng and others came to the police station to report the case, but were told that it was A Ming's parents and a few relatives who took him away. The group found it very strange; if they were family, why were they wearing hoods? It turned out that A Ming's parents thought he spent all day playing games online, so they sent him to an internet addiction treatment center.
