The people in the internet cafe were still noisy and restless.
The customers and spectators in the internet cafe were still excitedly discussing the 5v5 group arena challenge match that was about to begin. They were all guessing how long this reckless internet cafe team could last against the pro gods of their Seven Leaves team.
In such a noisy atmosphere, a certain someone raised his head with a bright face, and his greeting was almost drowned out.
But for Shi Ming, who was standing not far away from that person …
That "Little Eight" was like a deafening clap of thunder, causing him to be completely dumbfounded in an instant.
Little Eight.
He hadn't heard such a form of address for many years.
As the core ace of Team Seven Leaves, he was also the top superstar player in the LSPL division. Even in the professional esports circle of the Chinese server, he was considered one of the oldest.
Therefore, even in his own club, the team leaders and coaches were usually very polite to him, not to mention the other teammates in the team who were extremely respectful to him.
Even when he occasionally met some LPL players, they would politely call him "God Yagami". At most, only some of the veteran professional players who had entered the professional eSports circle at the same time would call him "Old Eight".
However —
However, he had never forgotten his nickname of "Little Eight".
Even if his memory had been sealed with time for a long time, when this nickname was mentioned again, all the past memories instantly surged like a tide.
Season S1.
He had once been beaten up by "that person" in a passerby's police station, and his face was covered in dirt and grime.
The strongest team in the Chinese server at that time.
The first time he nervously and excitedly went offline to cheer for the idol gods of that team as a pure fan.
The few figures that were like dazzling legends back then.
And that person …
The scene of him fighting against another top legendary genius in the world in the top battlefield of the Season S1 World Finals.
The figure in his mind gradually became clear, and finally gradually overlapped with the face of the person in front of him. At this moment, Shi Ming, who had finally recognized a certain person, only felt that the blood in his entire body began to boil from excitement. His throat became incomparably dry at this moment, but he had already uncontrollably blurted out a sentence — —
"M-God!"
His voice was trembling uncontrollably.
What he couldn't hide was the shock and ecstasy that surged in his heart to the extreme.
Shi Ming, who had lost his composure, forgot to control his voice when he blurted out those words. His voice was slightly louder, and it finally attracted the attention of his teammates beside him.
Before anyone noticed, Lin Feng hurriedly gestured for Shi Ming to keep quiet.
"Shhh —"
"We'll talk later."
When he saw that Lin Feng was winking at him, Shi Ming immediately came to his senses and realized that the occasion was completely inappropriate. He immediately stopped talking, but he still couldn't hide his excitement. He looked at Lin Feng and wanted to say something, but Lin Feng had already waved at him and turned around to leave.
The jungler from Seven Leaves Squad's Second Squad looked over curiously.
"Brother Ming?"
"Were you talking to that kid just now?"
Shi Ming forcibly suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, took a deep breath, and shook his head.
"No, you heard wrong."
Heard wrong?
The jungler from Seven Leaves Squad's Second Squad was a little confused, scratching his head. He clearly heard Brother Ming say something to that kid from the Internet Cow Internet Cafe team. It seemed to be M … M what?
… …
At the same time, Lin Feng, who had walked back to his teammates, was also questioned.
Kamimiya Saka's beautiful eyes stared at Lin Feng without blinking.
"Lin Kun, were you talking to that guy just now?"
"What were you talking about?"
At this moment, the girl could not help but ask out of curiosity. Initially, she really did not think that someone and the dignified LSPL star professional U-shaped case leader would have anything to do with each other, but who knew that the two of them actually seemed to be chatting.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, looked innocent.
"Nothing."
"Just saying hello."
Of course, Kamimiya Saka didn't believe him at all. Saying hello? Would Eight Cups have such an exaggerated reaction?
"It seems like Eight Wine Cup just called Lin Jun'M 'or something, right?"
Because they were quite a distance apart, Kamimiya Saka was able to make a rough guess based on the shape of her lips, and she was actually half right. However, she still couldn't figure out what was going on just by guessing the "M".
Lin Feng continued to play dumb.
"Really?"
"You must have made a mistake, Kamimiya Saka."
He tried to bluff his way through.
Even though Kamimiya Saka was angry at Lin Feng's shameless behavior, there was nothing she could do. Ceng Rui, Tang Bingyao, and Dou Zi looked at each other and guessed the answer.
M？
That was the first letter of Lin Feng's ID back in the day.
At the same time, Xu Jian walked up to the Seven Leaves Squad's members and smiled.
"Is everyone ready?"
"If you're ready, the arena battle is about to begin —"
As he spoke, Xu Jian paused for a moment before lowering his voice again.
"In any case, don't hold back. Since they're here to challenge us, we'll have to rely on you guys to protect our reputation. We can't let them think that we're easy to bully!"
The Seven Leaves Squad's ADC patted his chest and said, "Don't hold back, Old Xu.
"Don't worry, Old Xu. Let's not talk about the three of us. With Brother Lu and Brother Ming around, as long as they're not LPL-level Almighties, anyone else can only go back dejectedly!"
Lv Zhong also smiled in a carefree manner.
"Don't worry, Boss Xu. If we can't even beat an opponent of this level, then there's no need for us to continue playing professionally. What do you think, Ming?"
In the end, Lv Zhong asked his companion in passing, but he did not get a response even after a long time had passed. He could not help but turn his head to look at Shi Ming in surprise.
"Ming, Ming?"
Shi Ming seemed to have just come back to his senses.
"Huh?"
"W-what's wrong?"
Lv Zhong looked at his teammate strangely. "What's wrong with you? You've been absent-minded since the beginning. Boss Xu is asking if we have the confidence to defeat the challengers from the Internet Cow Internet Cafe team. How about it? Are you okay with that?"
Without waiting for Shi Ming to answer, Xu Jian laughed and said,
"With you guys here, I don't need to worry.
"We're just waiting to see our Yagami carry the entire game with our solo top!"
Another round of flattery.
However, at this moment, Shi Ming opened his mouth but could not say a word.
He finally came back to his senses and figured out the situation. Yes, they were about to compete in the arena with the challengers from the Internet Cow Internet Cafe team.
But …
Let him carry the entire game with his solo top?
He couldn't help but look at someone not far away. Then, his heart skipped a beat. At this moment, Shi Ming only felt bitterness in his mouth. He really couldn't say it out loud.
If it was a minute ago, he wouldn't have cared about this match at all …
But now …
Now that he knew that "that person" was in the opposing team, he had lost all confidence in the upcoming match.
The opposing team was …
"That person".
Even if they sent the entire Seventh Leaf Battle Squad's main force into battle, how many moves could they last against the other party, let alone the few of them they had?
Come to think of it —
Why would that person appear in such a place and on such an occasion?
At this moment, Shi Ming only felt that his mind was still in a daze. It was as if his mind was in a mess. He couldn't even tell if it was an illusion or reality.
Because …
Really, how could such a thing happen?!
