Chapter 1838 1838: Viewing the Sky from the Bottom of a Well?
"So you're from the BTR team?" Uranus said in surprise, "I didn't expect your Mandarin to be so good."
"I'm Chinese..." Wang Yu replied, feeling a bit speechless, "I'm from the Crowd of Misfits team, and these people are my teammates."
As he spoke, Wang Yu pointed to Fearless and the others.
At that moment, Fearless and the others were dumbfounded, staring at Wang Yu in shock, unable to say a word.
"You... do you know each other?"
After regaining his composure, Fearless asked Wang Yu in astonishment.
To be fair, despite Wang Yu's impressive abilities, to Fearless and the others, he was just a powerful gaming novice. They didn't see him as a celebrity in the esports scene and recognized that he was only somewhat knowledgeable about many gaming concepts.
They never expected that this seemingly foolish but cute guy actually knew people from the Pantheon, and judging by the situation, it seemed like Wang Yu was quite familiar with them.
"Yes..." Wang Yu nodded calmly, "I fought against them not long ago."
"Which ones did you fight?" Fearless asked, surprised.
"All of them", Wang Yu replied confidently.
"Awesome!!"
The members of the Quan Zhen team raised their thumbs in unison, genuinely expressing their admiration.
As expected of a formidable player, Wang Yu engaged in battles as part of a team, even against world-class professionals.
"Crowd of Misfits??"
Upon learning which team Wang Yu belonged to, Uranus's surprise was not much less than that of Fearless and the others.
As a top professional player, Uranus had done his homework on various teams before coming here, and he had heard of the Crowd of Misfits team.
However, in the rumors, this Crowd of Misfits team didn't have a very good reputation.
They were a group of true grassroots players, not only coming from a grassroots amateur team but also employing extremely wild tactics. The players' skills were not very impressive, and their shameless and bizarre strategies stood out in the materials of various teams.
Thus, Uranus had some impression of this team.
...
The social circle of online gaming is even more realistic than in reality; those who can play together are basically all of the same skill level.
After all, in reality, two people from different income classes can still find some common goals, but in games, the vast majority of players aim to become stronger.
To become stronger, one must acquire resources, whether through quests or dungeons; players on different levels are essentially playing in two different worlds and can't compete together.
Uranus had also witnessed Wang Yu's strength; although the Pantheon team hadn't exerted their full power in their last encounter, Uranus could tell that Wang Yu had definitely held back.
After just two rounds of battle, Uranus and his team felt an unprecedented sense of pressure, showcasing Wang Yu's capabilities.
How could such a powerful guy be mixed in with a bunch of amateur players? Was the information about the team misleading, or were these guys hiding terrifying strength and deliberately throwing out a smokescreen?
"Not bad!"
Wang Yu smiled and said, compared to them, I am just a novice; if it weren't for them, I probably wouldn't have made it to this competition.
"Novice?!"
The moment Uranus and the others had settled down, their emotions were stirred again.
If a player of Wang Yu's caliber was just a novice in front of this group, didn't that mean that these guys were even stronger?
Was the skill level of players in the Chinese server so high? Had they all been viewing the world from the bottom of a well?
Thinking of this, Uranus and his group felt a chill.
It should be noted that <<Rebirth>> is an entirely new game mode. After playing games for so long, Uranus and the others had encountered many players who had made comebacks due to new modes. Now hearing that there were levels stronger than themselves, they dared not doubt it.
After all, the world is vast and full of wonders; esports players are ultimately just ordinary people.
Of course, this was just the one-sided assumption of Uranus and his group. When Wang Yu referred to being a novice, he meant in terms of game experience, while Uranus and the others interpreted it as a matter of skill level, which was a misunderstanding.
"Where, where!"
Seeing Uranus's expression, Fearless immediately realized that these guys had misunderstood, so he quickly explained, "Don't listen to him; it's not as you think. Actually, we are fans of yours."
Fearless's words only deepened Uranus's conviction that the Crowd of Misfits team was hiding their strength.
He had long known that Chinese players often have a tradition of being modest, and now he was truly witnessing it.
...
Seeing that Uranus was only willing to believe what he wanted, Fearless had no way to change that.
After chatting casually for a bit, Wang Yu and Uranus parted ways with the Quan Zhen team.
Watching Wang Yu and the others' nonchalant backs, Uranus furrowed his brows and said, "It seems this competition won't be as easy as we imagined."
"Yeah", Ares beside him replied, "Seeing how they walk so arrogantly, they must be quite confident in their abilities."
"Don't scare yourselves."
After all, the Pantheon players were top professionals and had some understanding. Seeing their teammate spooked by just a few words, Loki said with a hint of sarcasm, "From the previous battle videos, these guys are quite average; only those two Pugilists seem a bit more formidable."
"Those Pugilists claimed they were novices", Ares countered.
"You stupid donkey, I could say I'm your father. Would you believe that?" Loki rolled his eyes dismissively.
"I'm your father! You stupid donkey!" Ares retorted angrily.
"Look..." Loki said, shrugging, "If you don't believe what I say, how can you trust that guy?"
"Uh..."
After hearing Loki's words, Ares, who had been excited, suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
At that moment, Loki continued, "That kid is just bluffing!"
"No, no, no!"
Uranus shook his head and said, "When he said that, I felt his eyes were very sincere; it didn't seem like he was lying."
But whether it was sincere or not, what Wang Yu said wasn't a lie; it was just that Uranus misunderstood.
At this point, Uranus pondered for a moment and said, "There's an old saying in China: better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't. Anyway, we should be cautious about this Crowd of Misfits team."
"Haha!"
Loki laughed, "Come on, you're being too cautious. They're just a bunch of bugs. Since you said that, let me ease your concerns."
"Loki!" Uranus exclaimed in alarm, "You must not provoke them."
"Don't worry!" Loki said with a smile, "You know what I'm like when I do things."
