The King's Avatar Episode 24 Recap
> The King's Avatar Recap
Wei Chen came to Xing Xin Internet Cafe to check out the situation. Seeing the Ye Qiu standee in the cafe, he complained that there were still Ye Qiu fans in this day and age. Chen Guo overheard these words. So Wei Chen pretended to be a fan of Ye Xiu and tried to get close to Chen Guo. Chen Guo told him that she was the boss of the Xing Xin team.
Wei Chen quickly took the opportunity to inquire about the Xing Xin team's assets and number of people. He secretly complained that the Xing Xin team was worse than a makeshift troupe. While Chen Guo went to a meeting, Wei Chen wanted to take the opportunity to eavesdrop on the meeting's content. However, he bumped into a potted plant, leading to his exposure, and could only leave disheartened. On the other side, Ye Xiu also arrived at Wei Chen's company.
He learned that Wei Chen was still playing Glory these past few years. He saw a staff placed on the shelf and asked, discovering that Wei Chen had been playing the Warlock profession all these years. Through chatting, Ye Xiu also learned that Wei Chen was working as a bounty hunter, and his task was to kill Jun Moxiao. Wei Chen returned without success and was very frustrated.
However, his members told him good news at this time – they had found Jun Moxiao's online address. Upon hearing this news, Wei Chen's spirits instantly lifted, and he immediately called a meeting of his members. Their mission this time was to fully intercept and kill Jun Moxiao in Glory. The bounty was 500 per kill with no attack limit. Killing Jun Moxiao down to level zero would yield a reward of 175,000.
If they brought a Cleric, the reward would double. Killing Jun Moxiao once more after he left the Heavenly Domain would yield a reward of 700,000. Everyone's morale soared upon hearing such a generous reward. They immediately logged into the game, preparing to intercept and kill Jun Moxiao. As soon as Ye Xiu logged into the game, he encountered the ambush set by Wei Chen's group. With impressive maneuvers, Ye Xiu effortlessly took down half of their forces.
Meanwhile, Wei Chen remained in a state of observation, hesitant to make a move. Finally, he waited for the right moment to strike, controlling Ye Xiu from the shadows and capturing him. Seeing this scene, the others felt as if the bounty was already in their hands. They were all jubilant and even thanked Wei Chen's friend for helping them find Jun Moxiao's online address. Wei Chen instantly felt something was wrong when he heard this.
Where did he have any friends? He realized he had fallen into Ye Xiu's trap. Ye Xiu had deliberately allowed himself to be caught, then used a Substitute Technique to transfer the restraint from himself onto Wei Chen. Wei Chen, enraged, broke free from the restraint and led his brothers to focus fire on Ye Xiu, refusing to believe that so many of them couldn't defeat Ye Xiu alone. However, Ye Xiu smiled and called out for Qiao Yifan.
Seeing that the opponent was a Ghostblade, Wei Chen was very dismissive. Qiao Yifan, following Ye Xiu's command, began attacking Wei Chen after eliminating the others. Seeing his smooth operations, Wei Chen guessed he was a professional player and asked which team he belonged to. Qiao Yifan replied that he was from Wei Cao. Wei Chen went online to search, but unexpectedly, the information given by the opponent was completely false, and he was also killed by Qiao Yifan.
Wei Chen's proud Silver Weapon staff dropped and was picked up by Ye Xiu, leaving him furious. He could only vent his anger on the Jun Moxiao poster on the wall. Wei Chen brought his brothers to Xing Xin Internet Cafe. Each of them wore a sharp suit, looking imposing. He threatened Ye Xiu to return his weapon, or he would make him regret it. But Ye Xiu didn't fall for his intimidation.
Wei Chen could only tell Ye Xiu about the hardship of crafting his weapon, hoping to gain Ye Xiu's sympathy. Ye Xiu took the opportunity to propose a condition to Wei Chen: have him play a Mentor Match for Xing Xin, and if they won, he would return the weapon to him. Wei Chen initially didn't want to agree.
But upon hearing the Xing Xin team members discussing how to dismantle his weapon, he instantly hesitated and agreed to Ye Xiu's request. Qiao Yifan proposed using the Control Flow playstyle for this match. The Control Flow playstyle was the representative tactic of the Lan Yu team in ancient times. Control Flow refers to continuously harassing the opponent without clashing directly, achieving the goal through control without much effort.
A few people didn't understand what was good about this playstyle, saying it was outdated. Wei Chen, standing by, couldn't listen to the conversation of these young people any longer. He vowed to show them what true Control Flow was. Wei Chen had them choose the map where they had the highest win rate and also let them set the match rules themselves.
Luo Ji decided to choose the Skyreaching Tower map; whoever reached the top of the tower first would win. As soon as the match began, Tang Rou, Bao Rongxing, Qiao Yifan, and An Wenyi immediately started climbing the tower. But Wei Chen remained calm and unmoving. Everyone was very surprised by his performance. However, Wei Chen told them that this was the first principle of Control Flow: always remain calm and composed.
Seeing that the four people had already climbed halfway up the Skyreaching Tower, Wei Chen finally started moving. He first controlled An Wenyi, then successively took down Tang Rou and Bao Rongxing. Bao Rongxing accused him of cheating. Wei Chen told him this was the second principle of Control Flow: striking later to gain the upper hand ensures victory in every battle. Now, only Qiao Yifan was still holding on. Everyone gathered behind him to watch the match progress.
Wei Chen distracted Qiao Yifan by chatting with him, then took down Qiao Yifan as well. He also told them the third principle of Control Flow: using any means necessary is the best means. Finally, he told the team members that Control Flow meant playing outside the box, being the most insane opportunist. Chen Guo and Ye Xiu were discussing matters concerning the Challenger League.
Wei Chen came over to them, trying to interject, but neither of them paid him any attention. Wei Chen could only find a way to get rid of Chen Guo, leaving himself alone with Ye Xiu. Wei Chen told Ye Xiu that these kids were no good, no matter how he taught them, they just couldn't learn. He said that playing matches still required experienced and capable people like them.
He also took the opportunity to propose that Ye Xiu return his weapon to him. Ye Xiu asked him who he was so eager to get his weapon back to deal with. Wei Chen replied that he was invincible and had no opponents. Finally, it was time for the match. Wei Chen followed Ye Xiu to the competition venue and only then learned that they would be playing against Lan Yu shortly.
Hearing this name, Wei Chen immediately refused and turned to leave. However, he just happened to bump into Huang Shaotian, who had arrived for the match. Wei Chen used to be the captain of Lan Yu. Seeing him, Huang Shaotian was very surprised and immediately pestered him, asking him where he had been all these years. As they were talking, Yu Wenzhou arrived with the other Lan Yu team members. Seeing Wei Chen, everyone was very happy.
Now Wei Chen was in a dilemma and could only follow Ye Xiu into the competition venue. The match was about to begin. Wei Chen wanted to ask Ye Xiu for his weapon back, but Ye Xiu insisted he would return it only after they won the match. Wei Chen couldn't get his weapon back, and the match was about to start. He could only threaten Ye Xiu that he would deliberately lose the match.
Xing Xin vs. Lan Yu was the last round of the Mentor Match. If Xing Xin wanted to advance, all members had to pass. Facing the Lan Yu team, which had tactical master Yu Wenzhou and Sword Saint Huang Shaotian, getting all members to pass was extremely difficult. The match began, and both sides started a fierce battle. As soon as they entered the field, Huang Shaotian faced off against Ye Xiu.
Both sides created distance, looking for an opportunity to strike. Ye Xiu made the first move, but after one attack, he ran off, not wanting to waste time here. Because Ye Xiu wouldn't return his weapon, Wei Chen was very passive on the battlefield, swaying left and right without taking action. Qiao Yifan was pinned down by the opponent and requested support from Wei Chen. But Wei Chen not only didn't help, but also leisurely watched from the side.
The Lan Yu team members were bewildered by this unusual behavior. Yu Wenzhou then had the Chi Master go forward to provide cover. The Chi Master controlled Wei Chen and was about to attack, but was controlled by Qiao Yifan from behind. The opponent accused them of being despicable. Hearing this, Wei Chen decided to show them, with Qiao Yifan, what true Control Flow was.
On the other side, Huang Shaotian was still chasing Ye Xiu, but unexpectedly lost track of him. He looked around and finally spotted Ye Xiu's figure. He wanted to move forward and sneak attack, but unexpectedly, Ye Xiu was not there. Instead, Huang Shaotian was attacked by Ye Xiu from behind and got stuck in a gap.
