"Are you satisfied that you can beat anyone below the Yonko?"
"You're setting your sights so low now, aren't you?"
"Tsk tsk, this isn't even as good as you were back then, right? Ah Hang has improved a lot since his retirement. You haven't even recovered to the same level as you were back then, and you're asking for credit? "
"I'm invincible below the Yonko, but what about above the Yonko?"
"Fatty won a match against Phoenix back then. If you were here, you'd at least have a seventy to thirty chance, right?"
"Forget about everything else. What about your old rival, that Han kid from Team SSK?"
"He's the world's number one mid. Now, look at what you're doing!"
"You still have the nerve to ask for praise?"
"You've grown a lot more shameless than before ~"
Number 1 and Number 3 chimed in one after another, almost instantly belittling Sheyan's smug achievement, which he had used to ask for praise and praise, as if it was worthless. Even Number 5, who had been watching from the sidelines, added with a smile, "That's right.
"Yeah."
"If it's you, Lin Feng, your current achievement … is far from enough to be proud of."
Just the lethality of the last sentence alone was enough to instantly wipe out a certain someone's little complacent mood.
In the next second, Lin Feng's head drooped and he looked dejected and dejected.
What else could he do?
Indeed, the achievement of being invincible below the Yonkō (Four Emperors) was enough to scare anyone to death. If it was placed in the Chinese LPL, it would definitely be treated as a treasure by a group of team coaches. However, Lin Feng's "treasure" was to number 1, 3, and 5.
If that happened, he wouldn't even be worthy of the seniors' attention.
Moreover, he wouldn't even have the chance to refute them.
He didn't have the guts to.
So in the face of such a lesson, Lin Feng could only accept his fate and listen obediently.
Li Shiyi watched from the side, his heart pounding with fear. He felt infinite sympathy for his teammate. Invincible below the Yonko. If it were him now, he would have been overjoyed and wouldn't have thought about anything else.
But there was no other way.
The few people in front of him were legends who had been above this level in the past.
And at the same time, what they wanted from Lin Feng …
It was also far more than that.
Li Shiyi's eyes fell on Lin Feng, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes. Lin Feng was the successor that had been recognized by several seniors at the same time, especially Senior Number One, who had been ready to hand over the flag of the new generation of Esports to Lin Feng.
This was, of course, an extremely heavy responsibility.
But it also meant that it would bring unparalleled glory.
As for the current him …
Li Shiyi felt a tinge of regret and disappointment in his heart. His current strength was not enough to catch up with his companions, and he did not know how long it would take for him to recover to his previous state.
…
And at this moment, as if he had finished educating Li Shiyi, who was a little arrogant just now, he turned around and looked at Li Shiyi. When he saw Li Shiyi's somewhat lost expression, he smiled.
"Eleven."
Li Shiyi snapped out of his daze when he heard the voice, and he quickly raised his head.
"Here!"
With this response, he subconsciously straightened his body, like a student who was about to be scolded by his teacher. After all, even Lin Feng was scolded like that, if it were him …
No matter how he thought about it, it would only be worse.
Li Shiyi's forehead was slightly sweaty as he thought about it uneasily. He subconsciously clenched his fists, bracing himself for the scolding.
However, what he heard in the next moment was an unexpectedly gentle sentence.
"These few years …"
"You've worked hard."
Li Shiyi was stunned.
His whole body seemed to stiffen uncontrollably. He slowly raised his head to look at Number One, but what he saw was a face with a gentle smile.
It was as if he wanted to bring a new bottle of beer, but when his fiancée glanced at him, he could only give up awkwardly. Number One casually played with the beer glass in his hand, and said leisurely,
"Life in the mountains isn't too good, is it?"
This time, it wasn't just Li Shiyi, even Lin Feng, who had just been scolded, suddenly looked up with a startled expression.
"Seniors, you … know?!"
Even he had not heard about Eleven's situation in the past few years. It was only recently that he heard about it from the top laner of Seven Leaves, Eight Wine Cup, Little Eight.
Logically speaking, the seniors seemed to have their own things to do, and most of the time they were not in the country, so there was no way they would know about Eleven's situation over the past few years.
Number Three looked down at his beer, pleased with himself, and then looked at Lin Feng.
"Do you really think we're so uninformed?
"Or are they all as slow as you?"
With a few words, he revealed some hidden truths that no one knew.
Number Five smiled as he patiently explained to Lin Feng, "That's right.
"Eleven's situation …"
"Actually, we knew about it a long time ago."
Li Shiyi was stunned.
Lin Feng was stunned.
Looking at the bewildered and incredulous expressions on the faces of the two juniors, Number One laughed again. "There's nothing to be surprised about. Back then, the few of you disbanded your teams and left on your own. We more or less have some understanding of your situations."
Let's not talk about Ah Qiu and Ah Mo for now.
"But for people like Fatty and Eleven, you two have always been in the national esports circle. If I can't even grasp your situation —"
"Isn't that a little too inappropriate?"
Lin Feng was the first to react and immediately asked his own question.
"Since you already knew, then why —"
Before he could finish, Number One interrupted him, "Why didn't you go find Eleven earlier, or why didn't you tell you earlier?"
Lin Feng nodded, a little embarrassed that his thoughts had been directly exposed.
Number One shook his head.
"Even if I did or said that, what use would it be?"
He narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze over Lin Feng and Li Shiyi.
"One or two years earlier."
Even if I did find you guys back then, with your mentality and thoughts, would you really be able to make the same decisions and decisions as you do now? "
Li Shiyi's body trembled, and he lowered his head in silence.
Lin Feng opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't find the words to refute.
Number One had a noncommittal look on his face. He continued in a calm and casual tone, "So some things can't be forced. If you didn't have those experiences in the past, you wouldn't have become who you are now. This kind of decision can only be made by yourselves. Even we can't do too much —"
He paused, then continued.
"Maybe the situation was different today, and Eleven still chose to stay in the mountains as his substitute.
Lin Feng didn't make up his mind either.
Even if that's the case, the old guys, including me, won't stop you. We can't change it either.
"Everything is up to you."
Number One paused again, a smile appearing on his face.
"Of course —"
"Now that you've made your choice, I'm very happy and satisfied with it.
But there's one more thing I have to say. "
Number One's gaze fell on Li Shiyi. At that moment, his gaze sharpened slightly, as if it was flickering with a cold sharpness that had been restrained for a long time.
"Since you're back —"
"Then this time, don't leave with regrets."
