Rise

In the S1 season world finals that year, after regretfully losing the last match point match of BO5, Lin Feng, who regretted and blamed himself endlessly, could not accept such a cruel reality, and was unwilling to face the loss of his teammates and other friends. With his eyes, he quietly chose to retire.

As for this decision, he didn't even tell the fat man with the best relationship in the team in advance, he only told one person.

That person is the senior he admires and respects the most.

Even when Lin Feng participated in the S1 Finals and was almost rejected by the World E-Sports Association because of his age, even the vice president of the China E-Sports Association headquarters came forward to mediate but had little effect——

At that critical juncture, it was this senior who came forward and said a few words. Relying on his transcendent status in the World E-Sports Association, he just made the final decision and cleared all the obstacles for him to enter the World Finals.

But when he told the senior about his retirement choice in a low and gloomy mood, what he received in exchange was not the expected earnest dissuasion.

The senior just nodded as if nothing had happened, and then said lightly:

"Oh, that's fine, just take some time to settle your mind."

Then he gave Lin Feng a mobile phone number and said that one day Lin Feng felt that he had figured it out and could call him.

And then.

In this way, nearly four years passed.

It wasn't until today that Lin Feng finally dialed the number on his mobile phone and made the call.

…

"Oh, you."

"I thought you would never make this call again in this life."

Listening to the playful male voice on the other end of the phone, Lin Feng scratched his hair in embarrassment.

Even with his rough character who often goes off the line, he behaves like a primary school student facing his teacher when facing this senior, especially because of his impulsive decision to retire, which made him feel that he had let him down. Lin Feng, who had exceeded the other party's expectations, felt even more guilty.

Lin Feng didn't speak at all, but the male voice on the other end sounded again, kindly reminding:

"If you have anything to say, please tell me.

The phone bill is very expensive. "

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "Senior, do you really not want to talk to me..."

"Well?"

The male voice on the other end of the phone was simply more puzzled than Lin Feng, but then he suddenly realized:

"Oh, you are mistaken. The cost of speaking is really expensive - I am on vacation abroad now, and the international long-distance drive costs several yuan a minute."

I see!

Lin Feng suddenly realized it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought for a while, organized his words and quickly said the matter to the other end of the conversation.

After listening, a male voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Oh, I understand. I didn't do well in the first round of the finals, so the little fat guy's mentality is broken, right?"

Then the male voice commented in a broken voice:

"For professional players, psychological quality is the most important quality. To be able to withstand praise, you must also be able to withstand slander and pressure. Little Fatty's problem is exactly the same as yours at the time..."

Having said this, the voice on the other end of the phone paused slightly and continued:

"Oh, by the way, so you want me to help you pass on a message, right?"

"Um!"

"No, I'm not in the UK right now, and I don't have Fatty's contact information."

Lin Feng immediately flattered him: "If it were you, senior, there would definitely be something you can do!"

"Oh, you've learned how to flatter me," the senior on the other end of the phone laughed, and then thoughtfully said: "But this sentence is very pertinent and correct... Okay, okay, I understand, and I will help you solve this matter. of."

After receiving the promise from the senior on the other end of the phone, Lin Feng finally showed a smile on his face and was about to express his heartfelt thanks when the male voice on the other end of the phone rang again:

"That's why you came to me after four years, because it was about your teammates."

"What about you, what do you think?"

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then answered very seriously and decisively:

"I will return."

"I want to become the best professional e-sports player in the world!"

…

USA, Hawaii.

The sky is clear and blue, and the sea water laps on the beach, bringing up the fine white sand and washing out exquisite and beautiful shells scattered on the beach.

There is a sun umbrella in front of an exquisite cabin next to the beach, and a beach chair is placed under the shade of the umbrella. A young man of about 26 or 27 years old is wearing big sunglasses on his face. Lying lazily on a comfortable lounge chair, looking relaxed and comfortable.

After hanging up the long-distance call, the young man recalled the last serious and firm answer that had just come from the other end of the phone, and subconsciously touched his nose:

The world's strongest... professional e-sports player?

It is really a bit sad to hear such a confident and familiar declaration from a new generation of newcomers...

But then the corners of the young man's mouth couldn't help but raise a slight arc.

Because if it is that kid, he should indeed be the candidate with the most hope and opportunity in the new generation of national server professional e-sports circles to attack the ultimate goal of a professional e-sports person.

(I'm really... looking forward to it.)

Withdrawing his thoughts, he thought of the boy who called him specifically to ask for help. The young man took out a piece of chocolate from nowhere and threw it into his mouth. He thought about it thoughtfully while eating it. Then he picked up the phone again. Press a number and call:

"Hey, where are you?"

A casual voice came from the other end of the phone: "Spain, where are you traveling? Don't you know that? Why did you call me suddenly?"

"Oh, I need your help."

"What do you mean?" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became alert.

The young man smiled: "Oh, don't be so nervous. It's just a small matter."

"No." The voice on the other end of the phone refused without thinking.

But the young man here has already spoken out his request: "The little fat guy from the KG team seems to have lost his mind a little bit - you have to go to London for someone to send a message."

The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment: "This LoL finals? Are you paying attention?"

Young man: "Of course I didn't pay attention. I was busy on vacation."

The voice on the other end of the phone was speechless: "Then why are you looking for me?"

"Oh, Xiaofeng called me because he asked me to deliver a message." The young man paused and added: "And don't you also care about that little fat guy?"

"It's none of my business if the fat guy doesn't live up to his expectations and has a broken mentality -" the voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little unhappy and snorted coldly: "I gave him a lesson in the S3 finals and he couldn't listen to it, now no matter how much I do, There’s no point in talking about it.”

The young man smiled and said calmly, "So this time I just ask you to help spread the word."

"..."

"Oh, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as your promise."

"...Okay, but don't forget that you owe me a favor this time."

The young man shrugged: "No problem. When the time comes, come to my place and I'll ask Xiao Wu to cook you a heartier meal."

"...You have the nerve to ask your girlfriend to pay back the favor you owe yourself?" The voice on the other end of the phone was speechless.

"What's there to be embarrassed about?"

The young man felt confident, then he paused and laughed:

"Also, I have to correct you, I'm not my girlfriend—"

"She's my fiancée."

The tone suddenly became a little softer.

The young man stood up slightly on the beach chair and looked towards the blue sky and blue sea beach in front of him. He could see a very familiar slender figure coming into view not far away.

That is a woman whose face can't be clearly seen from a distance, but can still make people feel amazing.

The slight youthfulness of the girl has faded away, and the smooth black hair that should have fallen on her shoulders is now simply pulled up and tied up, but it still retains the heart-stirring freshness and refinement.

There is also an increasingly tranquil and serene and charming temperament that slowly settles down over time.

As if she felt the gaze cast from not far away, the woman subconsciously turned around and looked back, her eyes fell on the young man, and then she smiled sweetly.

Smiles are like flowers blooming.

…

Entrusting the matter to his most trusted senior, Lin Feng was able to let go of his worries for the time being.

He believed that the promise made by the senior would be fulfilled, so he was not worried at all, so he quickly turned his mind and energy back to the matter at hand——

The members of the Thirteen High E-Sports Team still need to continue training intensively.

Just two days later, the World Finals ushered in the first round of group matches of Group C and Group D.

So it was another two days of fierce battles. The results of the first round of Group C and D were also quickly released. The record of the Dust Team in Group D was also worrying, with one win and two losses, and both games were defeated by Two teams from South Korea’s OGN division.

So, two of the three frontline teams in the Chinese LPL division have already reached the edge of the cliff of life and death.

Precarious.

The players in the national server are extremely nervous and worried.

Just after the first round of the group stage in Group C and Group D, another three days passed and the second round of the group stage came again.

The eight teams in Group A and Group B finally reached the critical moment of life and death.

It happened to be on the same day——

Lin Feng and others from the Thirteenth High School E-Sports Club finally ushered in the opening round of the first knockout round of the Shanghai Sixteenth School League.

Likewise, it is also a critical day that determines the life and death of the Thirteen High Esports Club’s honor.
