In fact, it was not just Bullet. Almost all the legendary existences of the previous generation had extremely complicated feelings toward Number One.
There was admiration.
There was disgust and fear.
There was also fear.
"That guy … Can't he grow old?"
"How can he still be so strong!?"
After so many years, his deterrence was still the same. Naturally, one could see how terrifying Number One was when he was at his peak.
It could be said that being in the same generation as him was the greatest fortune and the greatest misfortune of every legendary powerhouse.
Because no matter how they challenged and charged upward, it was always as if they were facing a towering mountain that was as high as the clouds. They could not be shaken at all.
Even strong people like Lee Daozai from Korea or Bullet, who were firmly in the highest position among the legendary players, had never been able to gain any advantage when facing Number One.
Number One's existence was almost different from that of any other legendary existence.
"Because of your talent."
Bullet looked indifferently at his old rival and friend in front of him. His tone was calm as if he was stating a fact.
"Even if it's Lee Daozai, at least he achieved what he achieved with great effort. But you're different."
The eyes of the North American legend of the previous generation turned slightly cold.
"You guy …"
"You shouldn't exist in this circle at all."
"You have a talent that can't be explained by reason. You don't even need to put in any effort. It's as if everything comes naturally and easily."
"And the eSports circle shouldn't be like this."
"Every point should correspond to the same amount of effort and effort. Even if there are so-called geniuses, as long as they relax a little, they will be quickly washed away and lose their foothold in the arena."
"But your existence is subverting this logic. Even your successor, that brat named Maple, is the same as you, his master."
"He can rely on his talent to eat for a lifetime and stand at a height that ordinary people can't reach no matter how hard they try."
"This kind of thing —"
"For any other professional esports player, there is no fairness at all."
His tone was still cold and indifferent. From the beginning to the end, his tone remained calm and unchanged. There was no more emotional outburst, but one could clearly feel the hidden anger and questioning in the words of this North American legend of the previous generation.
Yes.
It wasn't jealousy.
Everyone knew that in the previous generation, Bullet was definitely the most iconic person who relied on his own hard work and desperation to fight his way from a "grassroots newbie" to the top of the pyramid.
What he recognized was the principle that hard work and rewards were equal. That was why he had set unimaginably strict standards for his disciples and even for himself.
In comparison, whether it was Number One or a certain someone who was Number One's successor, they relied on their so-called talents to make a living. It was a completely different path.
Naturally, it was difficult to compare.
It was no wonder that people would feel conflicted and disgusted.
…
"However, talent itself is also a part of the overall evaluation of strength …" No.1 didn't seem to mind his old friend's blunt criticism. Then, he revealed a thoughtful expression. "So … you feel indignant?"
Bullet nodded calmly without hiding anything.
"Of course."
"It's not just indignant, it's more like I'm not convinced."
"So, ever since I entered the professional esports circle, I have been trying to prove one thing again — esports should never be judged by talent, and there should never be a situation where a hardworking person can't catch up to a so-called genius."
At this point, Bullet paused, and a rare self-deprecating look appeared on his face.
"It's just that I failed."
Of course.
In fact, this point had long since come to a conclusion regarding the previous generation.
No matter how brilliant and dazzling Bullet was in the past, to the point where he could even be on equal footing with Korea's previous generation's F Lee Do-jae and compete with Europe's Shadow Crow, he was still above these top legends …
There was still one person.
It was as if he was calm, calm, and always sat firmly on the supreme throne.
No one could compete with him.
No.1 nodded slightly. He couldn't find a more suitable response to his old friend's words. Of course, he knew of Bullet's hard work, and he had been amazed by Bullet's rapid progress and breakthroughs more than once, but he was indeed regretful and apologetic …
He was still stronger.
It sounded like a situation that would make anyone else feel aggrieved to the point of vomiting blood and asking the heavens for help.
But that was the truth.
You're strong.
But I'm sorry, maybe I don't want to, but I'm really stronger.
No.1 shook his head and changed the topic. "So, you found Tang Tang."
"Yes."
Bullet nodded, then looked out of the coffee shop. His eyes reflected the girl who stood with No.5. His gaze was deep and cold.
"This is also the thing I need to thank you for the most —"
"I found her."
"Then, I've found hope."
…
"Of course, an individual's overall strength needs to be divided and evaluated from countless aspects."
"That's exactly what I did when I accepted Blade."
"But when I saw this girl just now, I suddenly realized that all of this was unnecessary."
"That's all I need."
"That's enough."
Bullet's gaze was still on the girl outside the glass door of the coffee shop in the distance. There was a hint of lust that could not be hidden in the depths of his eyes.
"This girl —"
"She has a belief in the pursuit of victory that even surpasses mine."
"This willpower far surpasses that of anyone I know, including you and Li Daozai."
"So, there's no mistake. She is indeed the candidate I've been looking for."
"Only she is qualified to inherit my mantle."
"As long as she is …"
"She can definitely do what I couldn't do in the past."
No.1's eyes lit up slightly. "So, you think that girl can even reach a higher level than you?"
Unexpectedly, Bullet shook his head and looked at Number One with an indifferent gaze.
"No."
"She can reach a higher level than you."
As soon as he finished speaking …
The light music in the coffee shop was still soothing and melodious.
It was as if a shocking clap of thunder had suddenly exploded in the air because of this sentence.
