The night was as cool as water.
Regardless of whether they were separated by thousands of miles or tens of thousands of miles, under the same night sky, different stories were happening in different corners of different places.
In a convenience store in a small town, Zhou Mo, who was sitting in front of the laptop screen at the counter, had already started his umpteenth round of human-computer training mode. The expression on his face remained the same throughout.
Inside Nanzhou City's Lecheng Internet Cafe, the young "young boss" and the beautiful girl sitting in the corner of the hall had just finished another round of Duos. It was still the same as before, with Mu Qiu's support leading them into a frenzied charge, directly crushing the opponent's psychological defenses.
"Ahhhh, I'm so noob again!" Miss Xia, who had won a round of victory points, was still dissatisfied. She was venting her frustration and scratching her hair in annoyance.
Beside her, Mu Qiu had a calm expression on his face. "It's fine. Take your time and you'll be able to practice."
The girl suddenly raised her head, her face full of expectation. "Then, after you practice, will I be qualified to be your AD partner?"
The young boss pondered for a moment and replied, "That'll be in your next life."
The girl was so angry that she pounced on him. "Bastard, will it kill you to give me some encouragement?"
"Ahhhh, what are you doing? You're biting me! It hurts, it hurts, let go! Aiyo, my dear sister, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay … "
The young man and woman fought and joked, the atmosphere relaxed and vaguely charming.
Thousands of miles away.
Manchester, England.
In the training room on the seventh floor of the hotel, Number Four, who had just finished watching and analyzing the fourth set of videos, let out a sigh of relief. He looked up at the person beside him and asked, "How is it? Tired?"
Although he wasn't personally playing actual combat with the mouse and keyboard, this level of research, analysis, and review required even more mental energy than the former. After two hours, even for top professional players, playing a set of best-of-five matches wasn't as tiring as this kind of review work.
Lin Feng, however, shook his head.
"It's okay, I'm fine."
Of course, he was actually a little tired.
After all, he didn't have any free time to rest for the entire day. During the day, he went around watching mock competitions, and at night, he even fought a few high-intensity mock training confrontations. Now, he had to do such a mentally exhausting review and analysis. Even if his body was made of iron, it was inevitable that he wouldn't be able to handle it.
But Lin Feng didn't care, because even though he felt a little tired, he could still continue. Also, even though it had only been a short two hours, it had brought him a huge harvest that was directly proportional to the effort he had put in.
Senior Number Four had asked Senior Number Four to evaluate Han Shihao's overall performance in the first few random games that he had played under Senior Number Four's instructions. She compared Han Shihao's data and gave him a comprehensive score.
After watching the training videos of Han Shihao's Sindera, Vampire, and other mid-laner heroes, he could more intuitively understand the specific gap between his performance and that of his old opponent in all aspects.
More importantly …
It was the analysis and explanation that Senior Number Four, who was sitting next to him, constantly gave him.
Perhaps in terms of individual mid-laner strength, Lin Feng was undoubtedly not as strong as Number Four back then. However, at the professional level of review and data analysis, Number Four's existence was undoubtedly at the top level in the professional esports circle for two whole generations.
Many details that even Lin Feng, who was extremely familiar with Han Shihao, couldn't detect, were exposed in front of Number Four's eyes. Then, Number Four kept replaying the video in slow motion and pointed them out one by one, causing Lin Feng to have a sudden epiphany.
In fact, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that if any other top team in the world knew about the one-on-one review and analysis of the past two hours, they would be willing to pay a huge price in exchange for the right to listen in.
Even the professional coaches and analysts of the various clubs couldn't easily teach at such a level.
The main reason was the difference in vision and realm between an ordinary first-line data analyst and Number Four.
Hence, Lin Feng was grateful to Senior Number Four from the bottom of his heart.
It really was his luck.
With so many legendary seniors, even the slightest favor from any one of them could make all professional esports players scramble to fight over him. But when it came to him, he could easily and even naturally enjoy the wholehearted guidance and teaching of each senior.
Even in the middle of the night, with just a text and a phone call from him, Senior Number Four, who had been busy all day and was exhausted, didn't hesitate to agree to come down and help him.
It was really a treatment that would make people go crazy with jealousy.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng looked at Senior Number Four in front of him and couldn't help but sincerely say:
"Senior, you've worked hard."
Number Four casually waved his hand:
"What are you thanking me for? It's rare to see that you're so energetic and even came to me to ask for help. I'm more than happy that these materials that I've collected can be put to use. If there's such a thing in the future, you can look for me. I'll be there anytime. "
Lin Feng also heard this and laughed: "If it's someone else, there probably isn't a need."
Indeed.
Because apart from the world's number one midlaner from SSK, his biggest rival, no one else, even the other Yonkō (Four Emperors), was enough to make him spend so much effort to deal with them.
Han Shihao was the only one who was there.
Holding the mouse, Number Four continued to look for the next video on the computer screen in the folder window. Next to him, Lin Feng also waited patiently. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, someone looked at Number Four.
"Senior."
"This time even you and Senior Number Two rushed over … What is it for?"
Holding the mouse slightly paused, Number Four didn't look up, but he also didn't give a direct answer.
Lin Feng couldn't help but be curious:
"Can't you say?"
Finally turning his head to look at Lin Feng, Number Four smiled:
"Not really."
"It's just that it's a bit of a long story."
…
Late at night, in a quiet restaurant in the city of Manchester.
Melodious and soothing jazz music, elegant medieval decorations, and candlelight rendered the atmosphere of the restaurant hazy and intoxicating.
"Basically, that's it."
After finishing his delicious ribs, he put down his knife and fork, picked up a napkin and carefully wiped off the food stains on the corner of his mouth. While he was eating, he also explained the truth of the matter to his beautiful companion who was sitting across him. No.3 nodded in satisfaction. Then he thought of something and looked at the person sitting across him to remind him.
"It's fine if you know, but … make sure to keep it a secret.
"At least —"
"Keep it a secret until the end of the day tomorrow."
However, this reminder seemed to fall on empty air.
Su Xue, who was dressed up in a red evening gown, was sitting across from Number 3. At that moment, she had completely forgotten to remind herself to maintain the image of an elegant lady. Her mouth was wide open in shock. "What the f * ck?" Number 3 asked. "What the f * ck?"
"There's … such a thing?!"
