Words:1943Update:22/06/30 07:53:21
When one's identity and status reached the level of Morning Star, there weren't many things that could surprise or move him.
Because he was already standing at the top of the pyramid in the professional esports circle, his every move was the focus of attention of countless people in the entire national server. As for the various kinds of gossip that ordinary players were talking about, it was nothing out of the ordinary to him.
For example, which professional player had retired or changed teams today.
For example, which old team member had switched careers to become a streamer. His popularity was mediocre and he was probably done for.
These weren't things that Morning Star cared about.
As the number one mid laner in the national server, he was shrouded in too much glory and halo. His own pursuit was to continuously improve his strength and break through bottlenecks. Then, he would lead Team God to the S Series World Finals for the national server and for himself. He would fight to the death for that world championship trophy.
Moreover, he was one of the most experienced professional players in the national esports circle.
His strength wasn't even worth mentioning.
Even in terms of seniority, there weren't many people in the national server who could compare to him.
Therefore, very few people in the national server could pique his curiosity or make him look at them differently. Because most people … weren't qualified.
However, on this afternoon, he encountered a series of special exceptions.
One …
He was a "sparring partner" brought by legendary seniors like Number One and Number Five.
He was a terrifying mid laner who was able to defeat Morning Star's entire Team God lineup in the practice match just by relying on his individual skill.
His individual skills were even better than Morning Star's.
His awareness and sense of rhythm weren't inferior to any of the world's top professional players.
Yet, no one had ever heard of him.
All of this naturally made a top player like Morning Star feel a strong sense of doubt and curiosity. Then, he had the urge and desire to find out the truth.
Finally —
He really found out.
The truth was suddenly revealed in front of her. The ID "Maple", which she had no idea about just a second ago, was finally found in her memory and matched to the most blurry memory fragments …
The truth was revealed.
All the puzzles had the most perfect and reasonable explanation.
But at the same time, the intense shock and impact it brought was like the most boiling and rumbling monstrous waves, almost causing one's mind to be in a complete mess.
Anyone.
If it was anyone else.
Or even any other truth.
Even Morning Star wouldn't be so shocked that he lost his composure.
But indeed, it was precisely because of his original thinking inertia that he had subconsciously forgotten some of the most crucial information. In addition, the truth was truly unique and had the most exaggerated explosive point. That was why the moment he suddenly came to his senses, his scalp went completely numb and he was shocked to the point of being horrified.
…
Barren Snow Nightsong's curiosity was about to explode. He couldn't hold it in any longer and pushed Morning Star.
"Hey, hey, hey, can you stop keeping us in suspense?"
"What's going on?!"
"Why don't you give me a hint?"
It was rare for him to see his old friend like this. Even if he heard that his own club was going to go bankrupt tomorrow, he wouldn't show such an expression. Since that was the case … what kind of shocking news could make him react so violently?
Looking at Morning Star's expression made him feel as if his heart was being tickled by a cat. He felt uncomfortable all over.
Finally, Morning Star slowly opened his mouth again.
"Just now … I looked for that … little brother Lin Feng and asked him something."
The sudden change of topic caught Barren Snow Nightsong off guard. Naturally, he didn't notice that when he said the words "little brother Lin Feng", Morning Star seemed to hesitate for a moment, as if he was considering how to address him. His tone also became a little strange. At this time, he just kept urging.
"And then? And then?"
"What did you ask?"
Morning Star shook his head.
"I just wanted to confirm some guesses … I didn't expect …"
The number one mid on the national server couldn't help but smile bitterly again. "The truth is ten thousand times scarier than I expected."
Such a sigh came from the bottom of Morning Star's heart, but Barren Snow Nightsong couldn't help but feel angry.
"Then tell me!!"
"Will you die if you don't keep me in suspense!!?"
Morning Star nodded and looked at his old friend. Suddenly, he threw out another seemingly unrelated question. "How much do you know about the team that Circle God was in during the S1 season?"
Barren Snow Nightsong was confused. "Huh?"
He was clearly the one asking Morning Star a question. Why did he suddenly ask himself a question?
Circle God's team in the S1 season …
Barren Snow Nightsong frowned subconsciously. "I don't know much. I just heard that Circle God was in that team and won the runner-up trophy in the World Finals. It's been too long … and the other members of that team are long gone."
As he spoke, he paused, as if this topic had evoked some of his thoughts. He couldn't help but sigh.
"But to be honest, the team that Yuan Shen was in was really amazing … At that time, the local server didn't have much of a presence in the world of esports. It should have been the era when Europe and America dominated. They were able to defeat all the strong teams in Europe and America and even beat Phoenix into the finals. They were so strong that it was almost unimaginable —"
Morning Star nodded again and reminded him.
"At that time, the two of us should have watched the video of the S1 group 'best-of-five' semi-finals."
Barren Snow Nightsong didn't even think about it and quickly continued, "Yeah, I remember it very clearly. Damn … I didn't expect Phoenix to be so ridiculously strong during the S1 season … I felt that his condition was even more terrifying than it is now. He was actually defeated by our national team. Damn, watching the video at that time really made me happy!"
Another round of sighing made Barren Snow Nightsong almost forget the question he originally wanted to ask. He finally came back to his senses and looked at Morning Star in confusion.
"But why are you talking about old history?"
Morning Star shook his head as if nothing had happened.
"Nothing."
"By the way … Little Brother Lin Feng told me about the ID he used back then."
"It's called Maple."
There was almost no foreshadowing, and there were no pauses deliberately left to create suspense. Even the tone of the words that came out of his mouth was incomparably relaxed and normal, and he said it in one breath.
Then.
The atmosphere was slightly silent for a moment.
"Ah?" Barren Snow Nightsong subconsciously widened his eyes. "What? What Maple? "
This top professional ADC player in the national server had not yet reacted to his old friend's somewhat mischievous answer. He just subconsciously repeated the name of the ID in his mind —
maple？
Maple, Maple, Maple …
All of a sudden.
Barren Snow Nightsong's body couldn't help but tremble violently. He almost jumped up from the ground like a slingshot, and his eyeballs suddenly widened until they almost fell out of their sockets.
"You, you, you, you, you!! What did you say!!??? "
Seeing his old friend's completely unexpected reaction, Morning Star felt a lot more at ease at this moment, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"I'm saying …"
"The one who sparred with us today … is probably a sparring partner of the highest standard that no other club team in the esports circle has ever enjoyed."
