The flight from Shanghai to London would take a total of 12 hours.
Lin Feng and Mo Sheng's plane took off at three o 'clock in the afternoon. In the next twelve hours, many things had happened.
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, the new batch of visa materials submitted by the Shanghai Telecommunications Association had entered the approval stage at the visa department of the British Embassy in Shanghai. They were checked and proofread, and the urgent batch was expected to be completed the next morning.
Four in the afternoon.
The three club teams that had advanced to the World Finals in the LPL had chosen to hold their final training session earlier than the previous two days. The players of each team arrived at the Zhabei Longteng E-Sports Hall early in the morning under the leadership of their team leaders and coaches to start training again.
The machines and equipment on the stage were undergoing pre-training adjustments, and the members of the various battle teams below the stage greeted each other.
"Hey, how's your form today?"
"I'm sure I'm fast enough to beat you guys ~"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're so arrogant. Let's fight on the stage later."
Shi Hang came over and nudged Tian Tian's shoulder. "Hey, Maple isn't here today. Let's team up and fight God?"
Not far away, Huangxue Nightsong heard them. "Hey, hey, hey, Shi, what are you doing? What are you up to?"
Shi Hang smiled cheekily. "What, are you afraid of me allying with Old Tian?"
Morning Star Morning Star walked forward with a calm expression.
"Whatever you want."
"Bring it on."
…
Five in the evening.
Tang Bingyao returned to her dorm room after submitting her application for leave from the school counselor. She was about to go home and pack her luggage. Coincidentally, her three roommates came back and saw her leaving. They couldn't help but be surprised.
"Tang Tang, where are you going?"
"Didn't we have dinner together? Hey, wait, why are you packing? Are you going home?"
"I still have class tomorrow."
The girl shook her head. "I asked the counselor for leave. I'm going out for the next few days."
Going out?
Her roommates looked at each other. "Where are you going?"
Carrying her small backpack, the girl looked at her friends in front of her.
"England."
Then, he pushed open the dormitory door and hurriedly walked out, leaving the other three girls in the dormitory room dumbfounded and unable to recover for a long time.
Six o'clock in the evening.
Tang Bingyao received a call from Ceng Rui while she was packing her suitcase.
"Is it Tang Tang? I've booked the ticket."
"Two business class tickets. We'll depart from Pudong at 4: 15 p.m. tomorrow. It should be late at night when we arrive in London. We'll see if we want to stay in London for the night."
The girl on the other end of the line quickly replied,
"Alright!"
Then, he said to his partner on the other end of the phone in an extremely serious manner, "Ah Zeng, thank you."
On the other end of the phone, Ceng Rui shook his head. "You're being too polite. If you really want to thank me, tell me the details on the way tomorrow. Speaking of which, the plane tickets have been booked, but I still don't know what's going on …"
His tone was filled with helplessness and self-mockery.
…
Night gradually fell.
At around seven o 'clock in the evening in China, public platforms such as Tieba and forums gradually became lively. The finals were approaching day by day, and all of the players of the Chinese server became more and more nervous and expectant.
Various Tieba forums were abuzz with heated discussions.
At the same time, the major live streaming platforms also ushered in the golden period of peak popularity. One by one, the live streamers started their daily broadcasts, and a large number of viewers flooded in. They didn't care if the streamers were going to open up the game or play in the Challenger of the League. Instead, they enthusiastically flooded the bullet screen and asked the streamers they followed to analyze the upcoming finals.
Naturally, the streamers didn't decline. After organizing their thoughts, they began to make all sorts of long-winded comments.
Some of them were former professional players who had retired, so they had a better understanding of the professional scene. Some of them had even played in the S-Series World Finals themselves, so their analysis was more in-depth and insightful.
"As I've said before, our LPL teams have been in good shape this season."
"God and KG are veteran teams. Unlike the previous Dust team, these two teams were able to go head-to-head with the top teams from other divisions in the World Championships without fear. Their lineups are also more rigorous. One is good at fighting in the late game and isn't any weaker than the European teams. The other has a top laner as its core. I don't think there will be much change in the tactical system of these two teams in this S-League."
"Hahaha, but as a veteran member of Spear Water, I'm definitely on his side. Moreover, I've just heard that Spear Water has achieved new results in recent training. Everyone can look forward to it when the time comes."
Some of them were slightly inferior in terms of professionalism, but they had a wide network in the circle and were able to obtain a lot of insider information. They began to share all kinds of gossip with their fans and viewers in their own live streaming rooms.
"Everyone knows about the training for the three teams in the past two days, right?"
"I have a friend who's KG's teaching assistant. I had supper with him last night, and he leaked the news to me."
"Yes, yes, yes. This time, the training for the three teams isn't just for show. It's all for real. I heard that they've come up with a lot of killer moves and new strategies."
"I also heard that during the training, 'Addisi' and 'Star Emperor' went head-on against each other. Each match is fiercer than the last!"
Some of the gossip was inevitably mixed with a lot of exaggeration, but it was not groundless. For the majority of players and netizens, it was enough to slightly satisfy their curiosity.
Of course, in the end, no matter what kind of live streamer they were, they all came to a conclusion after a long speech.
"Anyway, there's only two or three days left. Let's wait and see —"
"There's really a chance this year!"
Late at night in Shanghai, 11 o 'clock sharp.
In the Zhabei Longteng Esports Stadium, the last day of training for KG, Spear Water, and God had ended. The players and players of each club hugged each other and cheered each other on before waving goodbye.
They also needed to go back early to rest and prepare.
They woke up the next day.
It was almost time to set off for Europe.
…
It was 12 o 'clock in the evening in China.
It was also five o 'clock in the evening in London, England.
In the past ten hours, everyone in Manchester had been busy. They split up to complete their own "tasks" according to a certain girl's plan.
They met again in front of St. Edlund Hospital. Number One, who walked in from outside the door, looked up at Number Three, who was leaning against the stone pillar in front of the door.
"Done?"
Number Three lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff, and blew out a smoke ring.
"Yes."
"I've talked to Manchester University and helped that girl issue a student certificate at the last minute."
He smacked his lips as he said, "This is almost a fraud. If I wasn't close enough with their vice principal, it wouldn't have been so easy … But I owe them a big favor. Speaking of which, it's just a temporary certificate, the kind that can be used to fool people for a while. Once it's done, it still has to be removed from the file."
Number One nodded. "That's enough. You did a good job."
"Of course." Number Three raised his eyebrows. "How's it going on your side?"
Number One waved his hand. "The hospital isn't very easy to talk to. Xiao Wu and I accompanied the attending doctor and the director for the whole afternoon and finally got them to agree."
Number Three let out a sigh of relief. "That's good."
Then, he seemed to have thought of something. "Hey, what about Ah Xue? What's she busy with?"
Number One smiled.
"Her."
"She should be accompanying Steamed Bun on a big shopping trip."
A big shopping trip?
Number Three was stunned. "Huh?"
