57: Chapter 57 Talent is Greater Than Effort

Lin Feng was not particularly surprised by this result; in fact, he looked as if he had expected it.

After spending these past few days together, he had a very clear understanding of Ye Weiyang's strength.

Setting aside in-game operations, awareness, and so on... purely based on basic raw strength, appointing him as Vice Captain was certainly justifiable.

With his SS-rank "Undying Body" talent, his potential was unique.

From a certain perspective, his talent was even more intimidating for the team's value than Lin Feng's own SSS-rank talent.

Moreover, his strength would steadily increase over time; the later the game went, the more exaggerated his strength would become.

He was truly an unkillable cockroach that only got stronger the more he fought.

After all! A talent with infinite growth potential had immeasurable value.

Although he had no objections to Ye Weiyang being selected as Vice Captain, the others clearly did not think so.

"Department Head! We heard what you said upstairs clearly, along with Sister Zhang Qinhong."

"This guy has absolutely no game mechanics or understanding; he completely relied on his talent to get in through the back door."

"Breaking protocol to let him join the War God Palace is already the limit. If you let him be selected as Vice Captain, I won't accept it!"

Liu Qingqing said loudly.

Ye Weiyang panicked instantly upon hearing this, pointing at her with righteous indignation.

"Do you know you're slandering me? I'm telling you, that's slander!"

"She's slandering me! I want to..."

Before he could finish, Zhang Qinhong interrupted him from the side, saying, "I also feel that this arrangement is somewhat inappropriate. Those who become candidates for Vice Captain have all gone through rigorous assessments."

"Not only must they have strength far exceeding others, but they must also have a high level of game understanding. It's not something that can be compensated for just by having good luck and rolling a talent."

"Exactly, I share the same view."

Liu Qingqing nodded in agreement.

For a moment, the two girls took turns speaking, not giving Ye Weiyang any chance to refute.

How terrifying...

Lin Feng listened from the side, his heart pounding.

Watching his good brother unable to defend himself, he couldn't help but feel a sliver of sympathy for him.

Look at you! You've probably never debated with women before, right?

You still want to reason at a time like this, and with two women at once?

You must be dreaming!

Listening to their words, Ye Weiyang was so angry he almost vomited his food on the spot.

What is all this?

What did I do wrong?

You're targeting me, aren't you!

Just because you're cute, does that mean you can do whatever you want?

Just because you're sexy, does that mean you can make things up?

Do you know how much of a blow this causes to a young boy's fragile heart?

Ye Weiyang looked at them with a calm yet helpless gaze.

He chose silence.

Since he couldn't get justice, he would respond with silent protest.

This time, he did the right thing.

After all, you can't win an argument against women.

One woman has two mouths; two women have four mouths.

How can you argue?

There's no way to argue...

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat oppressive!

Just then, Zhou Zhengguo suddenly chuckled, breaking the silence: "Two Vice Captains, allow me to justify... bah! Explain."

"Please speak..." The two girls looked at him in unison, wanting to hear how he would justify it.

"Sigh!" Zhou Zhengguo sighed softly and said, "To be honest, I did break protocol to recommend Ye Weiyang for the position of Vice Captain."

"Although the recommendation came from me, the final appointment was decided by a collective vote from the top brass of the War God Palace."

"Understand now?"

Liu Qingqing was stunned upon hearing this.

"Voted for?"

"What does this have to do with his own strength?"

"Are you choosing a beauty queen?"

Three questions in a row, and even the battle-hardened Department Head Zhou was slightly stunned.

Damn? Is this what women are like!

Such a terrifying combo, such terrifying debating skills.

For a moment, he was speechless.

The most frightening thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet...

After several seconds of silence, Lin Feng finally couldn't sit still and stood up.

He knew very well that what he said next was very important.

It was no longer just about Ye Weiyang alone.

It was related to the team's honor.

It was very simple: if they lost, the whole team would be wiped out, with no chance of recovery.

This was a serious matter; there was no room for carelessness.

"Captain Brother, what? Do you want to try and justify it too?" Liu Qingqing stuck out her tongue and chuckled, looking very cute and well-behaved.

Despite the simple sentence, Lin Feng could already smell the gunpowder before the team fight broke out.

It was faint, yet intense.

At such a critical moment, he had to stay calm.

He couldn't laugh; laughing would mean losing half the battle.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, put on what he considered a very serious expression, and said, "Two little sisters, please calm down. Allow me to... explain."

"I don't know if you've heard the famous saying: Talent is greater than effort?"

"Oh... what about this saying?" Liu Qingqing looked confused.

"Let me use an analogy."

"If we treat the game 'God Domain' as a real world—which, of course, it effectively is."

"In reality, the vast majority of people are born into ordinary families, which, in the game, is equivalent to ordinary players."

"As ordinary people, from the moment of birth, the upper limit of 99% of people is already destined."

"And that 1% of people, through day-after-day of hard work, work, overtime, connections, opportunities, and everything else, might just have a sliver of a chance to become people above others and live the life they want."

"But this guy," Lin Feng said, pointing to Ye Weiyang beside him,

"Is this lucky guy who was born into a wealthy family with billions in assets from birth."

"He only needs to make a slight move to reach what is the limit in the eyes of ordinary people."

"Can you compare?"

"I'm asking you, what can you compare with?"

"Do you know now why he was selected as Vice Captain?"

"If it weren't for his brain... bad operations,"

"In a 1v1 duel,"

"Even I would have to temporarily avoid his edge."

"Understand now? He relies on talent, that's true."

"But people with talent are more enviable than people who work hard, aren't they?"

Under Lin Feng's passionate and righteous speech, everyone present opened their eyes wide, all stunned.

Petrified! Shocked! Dumbfounded! Stupefied!

At this moment, Liu Qingqing and Zhang Qinhong finally woke up as if from a dream.

They knew where the problem lay.

Their own perspective hadn't been broad enough.

This person who looked like a total noob,

Was actually this awesome!

Don't judge a book by its cover; it was truly the case.

They silently lowered their heads, not daring to look at Ye Weiyang and Lin Feng.

For a moment, they were at a loss.

And Zhou Zhengguo and Ye Weiyang, watching their guilty expressions, almost dropped their jaws.

In such a desperate team fight, he had pulled off a shocking comeback by single-handedly wiping out the opponent's main force.

It was truly admirable.

Awesome!

Too awesome!

Zhou Zhengguo, who had roamed the Blue Star for forty years and whom countless big shots had to call "Brother Zhou" upon meeting, actually felt an urge to become his apprentice at this moment!

If he had Lin Feng's eloquence to win a debate against a crowd,

What kind of woman couldn't he get in the romance field?

Would he still have to eat from the bowl while looking at the pot every time?

And on the other side...

Ye Weiyang was almost moved to tears.

His silent protest had finally received the justice it deserved.

"So! Brother Feng, you really understand me..."

At this moment, Lin Feng's image in his eyes was so tall, so majestic,

As if he were an invincible god...
