Rise

In the evening, after the usual team training session, everyone in the e-sports team said goodbye and went home.

Lin Feng and Tang Bingyao were still traveling together.

The street lights on both sides of the street cast dim yellow light on the concrete ground, glowing with a faint and soft light.

There were very few people on the street and it was very quiet.

Lin Feng lowered his head and walked forward, silently and quietly; Tang Bingyao also took care of herself and carefully stepped on the square grid on the road next to her, having a great time.

However, every time she stepped on a few squares, Tang Bingyao would look back at Lin Feng.

Then he turned his head and continued to play on the grid.

The two of them walked like this for a whole street. Finally, when Tang Bingyao turned her head and looked over again, Lin Feng raised his head and protested:

"Tangtang, why do you always look at me?"

Tang Bingyao tilted her head cutely and replied: "I'm afraid you'll hit the telephone pole."

Indeed, with Lin Feng's walking posture with his head down, it was really easy for him to bump into something if he wasn't careful.

However, as soon as he spoke these words, the previous silence and quiet atmosphere was broken.

Tang Bingyao stopped, looked at Lin Feng, and asked seriously:

"How are you?"

Lin Feng smiled out of habit: "Oh, not bad!"

Tang Bingyao looked at the smile on Lin Feng's face and commented unceremoniously: "The smile is so fake."

Lin Feng touched his face: "Is there any? No way..."

Tang Bingyao said nothing and stared at Lin Feng seriously, her eyes bright.

Lin Feng scratched his hair uncomfortably:

"Hey, it's really nothing..."

Tang Bingyao nodded as if understanding, and suddenly said:

"Is it because KG lost?"

Lin Feng suddenly paused.

Then he shook his head and smiled: "Probably...part of the reason is, but not entirely."

Tang Bingyao wrinkled her nose and simply said: "I don't understand."

Lin Feng smiled: "Oh, actually it's nothing -"

As he spoke, he paused and raised his head to look at the sky. The night sky in the Magic City tonight seemed very clear. There were no stars, only the bright moonlight was shining down, as if the whole city was covered with a layer of silvery white softness. Gauze.

Looking quietly at the night sky like this, Lin Feng suddenly said:

"Tangtang, do you think I'm weak?"

"Huh?" Tang Bingyao was stunned for a moment, with a cute dazed expression on her face.

But soon Lin Feng shook his head again and waved his hand: "Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing, I just said it casually, let's go, let's go, we're almost at your house -"

…

After returning home, Lin Feng smelled an alluring aroma as soon as he opened the door and walked in.

The dining table in the restaurant was already filled with a whole table of hot dishes. Su Xue, who was wearing an apron, just walked out of the kitchen with a plate of braised eggplant. When she saw Lin Feng, she greeted Lin Feng with a smile on her face:

"Xiao Feng is back?"

"Come on, come on, wash your hands and eat!"

It was not only the members of the e-sports team who noticed Lin Feng's strange state in recent days. Su Xue, who lived in the same room with Lin Feng day and night, naturally could not have noticed Lin Feng's silence recently.

So she is also worried.

It is precisely because of this that she has deliberately cooked various Lin Feng's favorite dishes in recent days, hoping to comfort him.

But Su Xue didn't know what happened to Lin Feng.

At the dinner table, looking at Lin Feng who was engrossed in eating, Su Xue finally couldn't help but asked softly:

"What's wrong? Is the training at the e-sports club not going well recently?"

Lin Feng shook his head.

Su Xue thought hard for a long time, and then she said:

"Is there something wrong with your relationship with Tangtang?"

As she spoke, Su Xue began to persuade with earnest words: "Hey, you are still young now... It's normal to have arguments from time to time, but if you are a boy, then you should give in more..."

The more I talk about it, the more it sounds like that.

Lin Feng protested: "Sister Xue, you are too imaginative. There is no problem with my relationship with Tangtang - she and I have a master-disciple relationship.

"

Su Xue choked suddenly: "Then...then what happened to you recently?"

Lin Feng paused and shook his head:

"nothing."

"Sister Xue, you don't have to worry."

…

Don't worry.

How could I not be worried?

Because you care, you worry.

After dinner in the evening, Lin Feng returned to his room, and Su Xue thought for a long time before quietly walking to Lin Feng's bedroom door, opening the door a crack and carefully looking inside.

As a result, Lin Feng, who was sitting at the desk, said without looking back:

"Sister Xue, I'm really fine——"

Su Xue was greatly embarrassed when her intention was discovered and laughed dryly:

"Ahem...what, do you want to have some late-night snack tonight? Big chicken steak? I'll buy it for you later?"

Lin Feng: "I just had dinner, it's still too early for supper."

Su Xue: "...Yes."

Su Xue, who was finally at her wits' end, retreated.

Lin Feng continued to sit quietly at his desk, immersed in his homework as if his mood was not affected in the slightest.

Chinese, mathematics, English...the coursework was completed one after another.

When the time came to around 11 o'clock in the night, Lin Feng, who had finished all his homework, leaned back on his chair, lowered his head slightly, his eyes flickering with flickering light, silent and quiet.

Then he turned on the computer.

Find the videos of the three games between the KG team and the SSK team in the semi-finals of the finals.

Click to play.

As a result, the videos of the three games a few days ago that made countless Chinese players feel heavy and depressed were replayed in front of Lin Feng's eyes once again.

…

Lin Feng just watched in silence.

This is already the sixth time in the past few days that he has replayed the videos of these three games.

Every time, he was trying to take on the mid lane position of the KG team, and then he kept simulating in his mind that he was fighting against Han Shihao, whose ID was "F".

As a result, he failed every time in the simulation without exception.

It was also a disastrous failure.

From laning, to roaming, to team battles, in terms of personal ability and rhythm control awareness, he found that he could not keep up with the opponent at all.

And he was still thinking before, if he could fight side by side with Fatty in the finals, would he have a chance to defeat Han Shihao and the SSK team——

But now it seems that it is simply impossible.

Because there is a huge gap between him now and the person who stands on the throne of the world's number one mid laner.

Maybe he can't even do better than the mid laner of the KG team.

(And, an even more ironic thing is...)

Lin Feng subconsciously clenched his fists:

(Now he is not even qualified to go to the finals stage.)

Yes.

Now he is just an ordinary high school student. He needs to work hard for a championship in the Shanghai Sixteenth School League in the school e-sports team.

Even the opponent of their 13th High School Team in the next semi-final, the Shanghai Foreign Language School Affiliated Middle School Team, would give him an extremely difficult and headache-inducing experience.

Lin Feng gritted his teeth, with unwillingness and anger flashing in his eyes.

He was angry at his own uselessness.

Even a high school team could make him think hard for several days and still couldn't find the most suitable way to deal with it——

So why does he still say that he wants to become the strongest professional e-sports player in the world?

Why should he chase after the figure of the leader of the four emperors?

Why should he defeat that person and return in the so-called most glorious way?

Useless!

Useless! !

Useless! ! !

His teeth were clenching, and Lin Feng's eyes turned a heart-stopping red at some point:

(This will never work.)

(Absolutely not enough!)

(To become stronger, to become stronger faster!)

(This kind of opponent from the Shanghai Sixteenth School League... shouldn't be an obstacle at all!)

(Must...must find a way!)

Then, the night passed.

Starting from the second day, everyone in the e-sports team suddenly discovered that Lin Feng seemed to have changed again.

become...

Although not as silent as before.

But it is even more worrying.
