Nothing in the world could be described as easy.
The only choice you could make was to retreat or face it head-on.
But when you put all your eggs in one basket, you might be able to find the hope of creating a miracle in a situation that seemed impossible to ordinary people.
It was 12 o 'clock in the afternoon in China.
Shanghai, God- Hand of God Team Club.
On the second floor of the training base, Morning Star pushed open the door and saw Huangxue Nightsong, who had just finished a King of Random Games, pushing away the mouse and keyboard in front of him to take a break.
Raising his eyebrows, Morning Star threw a bottle of mineral water to his old friend and said with a smile,
"Why, it's not training time yet, and you're already training ahead of schedule?"
"That's rare —"
He swiftly caught the mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and gulped down two mouthfuls. Then he unscrewed the mineral water again and put it aside. Huangxue Nightsong looked up.
"There are only a few days left. Let's give it a try."
"Don't we have one last training session tonight? I've told Old Shi that we have to torture him tonight no matter what."
Morning Star laughed, "You're very motivated."
Huangxue Nightsong shook his head, "Rather than motivated … it's more of a sense of crisis."
"Xing, are you confident in this year's finals?"
Morning Star was silent and shook his head slowly. Even though his strength had reached a level where he could break through the bottleneck at any time, he still didn't dare to say that he had much confidence in this year's world finals.
Huangxue Nightsong laughed self-deprecatingly. "To be honest, even those seniors … although they didn't say it explicitly, they don't think our three teams will be able to achieve anything this year. We just have to do our best."
Looking at his old friend in front of him, Morning Star said softly,
"Are you not satisfied?"
Huangxue Nightsong reached out and hammered the table heavily, making a "bang" sound. He gritted his teeth, "Of course I'm not satisfied!"
Anyone who had put in the greatest effort but seemed to be looked down upon by everyone around them, as if they were certain that no matter how hard they worked, they would not be satisfied.
"Then let's prove it to everyone."
Morning Star stepped forward and patted Huangxue Nightsong's shoulder.
"Prove to them that their thoughts and judgments might not be correct."
"Furthermore …"
"Who knows?"
At this point, Morning Star paused for a moment and smiled. "In a situation where everyone is pessimistic … it may not necessarily be that we can't create a miracle by cutting off our means of retreat. How about a warm-up match before training?"
Huangxue Nightsong chuckled.
"Sure."
"Fifteen minutes. Let's destroy the other side!"
The two ace players of Team God looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
…
Zhabei District, Rapid Water Club's training base.
The head coach, Fu Ming, looked at Shi Hang, who was facing the computer screen in the training room and was fully immersed in his competitive maneuvers. He could not help but look gratified and satisfied. Team Leader Sun of the club walked behind Shi Hang and followed his gaze. He was slightly startled.
"Ah Hang?"
"I remember that he came back from training last night and played ranked for half the night. He only went to sleep when it was almost noon. Why is he in the training room so early?"
Head coach Fu Ming crossed his arms in front of his chest. His eyes were still on his ace mid laner, and he answered without turning his head.
"Well, he only slept for two or three hours."
"He woke up around nine o 'clock. I saw him come here and play until now. He didn't even have time to eat lunch."
Team Leader Sun was stunned when he heard this. Then, a worried look appeared on his face.
"Why is he working so hard? Before the finals, the most basic thing is to protect his body … "
The head coach shook his head.
"No."
"I think that's just right."
As he said this, he paused and ignored his colleague beside him who was listening with some confusion. His gaze was fixed on Shi Hang, who was wholeheartedly immersed in the game in front of the computer screen not far away.
"Old Sun, let's make a bet."
"In this finals … Morning Star will not be the only one to steal the limelight for our LPL division's mid laner!"
…
Min Province, Nanzhou City.
In the afternoon, the atmosphere at Lecheng Internet Cafe was a little lazy and leisurely.
The young employee, who rarely had a little rest time, sat at the front desk. He held the mouse and moved it as if he was bored to death. At the bottom right corner of the browser interface on the computer screen, a news notification pop-up suddenly popped up —
"League of Legends S6 World Finals, Strength of the Top Teams in the Major Divisions!"
The young employee was slightly startled.
Then, as if hesitating for a long time, he finally moved the mouse to the bottom right corner and clicked open the pop-up page.
Min Province, an ordinary town next to Xia City.
In a small convenience store by the street, the young boss, who did not have any customers for the time being, bent over behind the counter as if busy with something. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely.
Finally, as if he had finally finished fiddling with something, the young boss carefully took out an old laptop from under the counter. It was obvious that it had been there for a long time.
He then rummaged for a mouse whose buttons were so worn that they were glowing and plugged it in.
He tried to boot it.
After spending a whole two minutes, the system desktop finally appeared on the shabby laptop. The young boss was slightly excited. Then, he tried to connect to the Internet, opened the browser, and clumsily typed the words' League of Legends' on the keyboard with both of his hands.
Confirm, search. The first item that popped up on the browser interface was the address of the official LOL website.
The cursor of the mouse moved to the address.
After hesitating for a long time.
The young boss finally made up his mind and pressed confirm. Then, he quickly found the official download address on the League of Legends website that popped up.
The download began. The progress bar showed that it would take a whole four hours to download.
After doing all this, the young boss let out a sigh of relief. Then, he felt as if he had used up all his energy and slumped back into the chair.
As he watched the download progress bar move forward bit by bit, he subconsciously clenched his fists.
… …
Manchester, England.
It was still the quiet night before dawn.
In the intensive care ward of the main building of St. Edmunds Hospital, the young girl in front of the bed said in a calm tone that would have instantly stunned anyone who heard it.
Su Xue wasn't the only one who was dumbfounded. Even Number Five's eyes couldn't help but sparkle as he looked at the girl.
"Steamed Bun, are you sure you want to do this?"
The girl nodded lightly and smiled.
"We can't hide it from that idiot if we just hide it from him."
After regaining her senses, Su Xue immediately became anxious. "But … but we can't just tell him the whole truth in one go!"
She didn't even need to think to know how explosive the situation would be once someone found out about it.
An Xin nodded and looked at the two in front of her again.
"Of course we can't tell him everything."
"So …"
"I need Sister Xue, Sister Dance … and everyone else's cooperation."
