After all, he was only a 22-year-old student. He had only been exposed to eSports since the S2 season of League of Legends. Although he could be considered a veteran gamer, he was still too young to be compared to the entire history of eSports.
If there were truly veteran eSports players present, they would have recognized Number One and the others at first glance.
However …
It was precisely because of this that he hit the mark.
It was precisely because he did not recognize these people at first glance that Lu Yang had the capital to boast to everyone around him countless times in the future. This legendary experience was destined to be unforgettable for him for the rest of his life.
Even at this very moment —
When Number One casually asked that question with a smile on his face, everything that happened after that was enough to completely stun this young China exchange student.
"By the way, you mentioned just now that they have special identity cards. Where are they now?"
Lu Yang did not doubt this question. He pointed in the direction of the corridor in the lobby and said subconsciously,
"Oh, they are in the conference lounge over there."
"The biggest room at the end of the corridor."
Number One nodded and reached out to pat the young compatriot in front of him on the shoulder. He smiled and said,
"Thank you."
"There's no need to trouble yourself. We can go there ourselves."
Lu Yang nodded subconsciously. "Oh, okay …"
The next moment, he saw the few people in front of him walk straight past him toward the direction of the conference room. He suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly reached out to stop them.
"Wait! — "
"We can't just go there."
"We need that special identity card …"
The last word 'card' was on the tip of his tongue.
However, the next second, he stopped abruptly when he saw the scene in front of him.
Number One casually took out a card from his pocket and waved it in front of the dumbfounded young compatriot in front of him. He smiled and said,
"This, right?"
"Don't worry, there is."
Then, he turned around and led the other four toward the conference room.
During the conversation just now, Lu Yang had specifically mentioned the identity card.
He said that the identity card was extremely rare and precious, and there were only seven of them in the entire world.
The person with that identity card had a status that was almost on par with the vice president of the World Telecommunications Association. They were equivalent to the leaders of the various Esports competition zones. They were aloof and unique.
Two of them belonged to F- Lee Do-jae, the legendary player of the previous generation in the Korean e-sports circle, and another legendary player, M.
And just at that moment —
Number One seemed to have casually waved the tag in front of Lu Yang.
The shape, pattern, text, material, and specifications were exactly the same as the seven special identity cards. They also had a red seal personally confirmed by the chairman of the World Telecommunications Association headquarters.
However …
The serial number displayed on the identity card —
It was "1".
Looking at the backs of Number One and the others gradually disappearing into the distance, Lu Yang felt that his mind was completely blank and chaotic. His ears were buzzing, and he couldn't think of anything at all.
There was only one thought in his mind.
As for the rest …
It was also him!?
But those who had this kind of ID card were at least at the level of Li Daozai and Masai. They were famous legends in the world of esports. But those people just now were clearly his compatriots, his countrymen. Since when did their national server have such people?
Suddenly.
It was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed across his mind.
Lu Yang tried hard to recall and finally found some text fragments that he had only casually browsed through on the Internet in the depths of his memory.
Thus, in the next moment, the young greeter in the lobby of the Telecommunications Association headquarters suddenly revealed an expression of disbelief, ecstasy, and shock. He raised his head abruptly and looked at the backs of those people. He almost cried out in surprise.
"He is! — "
At this moment, Number One and the others had already arrived in front of the conference lounge that Lu Yang had just pointed out.
Number One reached for the door handle.
Unscrew it.
Then, in an extremely natural and casual manner, he pushed the door open and entered.
The moment he walked into the conference room, everyone in the room suddenly raised their heads and looked towards Number One in unison.
Number One smiled.
"Oh."
"They're all here."
It was a greeting that seemed to be made light of.
It was as if he was just saying good morning to his neighbor.
At the long table in the conference room, Li Daozai and Masai were sitting on the sofa in the middle of the door. The moment Li Daozai saw Number One push the door open and enter, his eyes suddenly turned cold. Masai nodded slightly at Number One and Number Three, Number Five, and the others who entered after him, showing an apologetic smile.
Bullet stood leaning against the corner and looked over with a cold and solemn gaze.
"You're the one who came late."
Number One smiled.
"It's fine as long as I can make it."
As he said that, he turned his gaze until he looked at the end of the long table in the conference room. At the end of the long table, there were five figures. One of them was burly and majestic like a mountain, one was hiding in the shadows in the corner with a cold gaze, one was standing behind the chair but still could not hide his fierce aura, and one had his hands behind his back and his body as straight as a javelin —
Similarly, there were also people who just sat quietly in their seats.
His skinny figure seemed to almost sink into the spacious and soft sofa.
That was until this moment.
That person slowly raised his head. His deep eyes seemed to carry a chill that made people's hearts palpitate, but also seemed to be calm and emotionless as he met Number One's gaze. The corner of his mouth curved into a cold smile.
"Long time no see."
“001。”
Number One narrowed his eyes slightly and then smiled.
"It's been a long time since someone called me that."
Yes.
Because for close friends and companions, they would familiarly call him "Number One."
If it was Lin Feng, An Xin, Tian Tian, or Morning Star, they would respectfully greet him as "Senior".
Even his old rivals of the same generation, such as Bullet, basically just kept on calling him "You bastard" with a bit of disgust. As for Li Daozai, who regarded him as an old enemy and wanted to get rid of him at all costs, he was not even willing to mention his existence.
But …
It was true.
This was his name. It was the ID he chose for himself when he first came into contact with eSports. It was also where the name "Number One" came from.
Then, everything was natural and reasonable.
Just like he was the leader and captain of the teammates behind him.
Just like when he led the team to the top of the entire eSports world and was invincible in that era of gods.
Just like when he was named the highest legend by the World Esports Association.
For example, the first seat of the honorary advisory group of seven would naturally belong to him as well.
Because he was originally Number One.
That was because his ID was 001.
