"Let's do it."
On the same night, in a room on the eleventh floor of the Hilton Hotel, Number One looked out at the night view from the floor-to-ceiling window and casually said to his companions behind him, "That kid made his own decision.
"That brat made his own decision. Let him be."
"As for that Han brat … he's already at that point. It's just a matter of timing. There's nothing for us to worry about."
As soon as he finished.
The other four people in the room were silent.
Yes.
Compared to everyone else, even compared to old rivals and friends from the previous generation, even if they did not personally watch the match today, even if they only watched a few videos of SSK's matches, they could without a doubt come to this conclusion. They could even guess some of the more specific truths that would follow.
Although the conclusion and the truth of this judgment … were truly shocking.
But if one thought about it carefully, they would find that it was reasonable.
This year … was indeed a lively year.
Among the younger generations of the new generation, all of them were working hard to seek changes and breakthroughs. In fact, all of them had already found ways to break through their bottlenecks as they wished.
Phoenix was the same.
Nian Thirteen was the same.
Morning Star was the same.
There was also Huangxue Nightsong, Tian Tian, Shi Hang, Shadow Puppet, and many other outstanding professional esports players from other regions.
Then, think about it again.
When these young experts, who more or less stood at the top of the pyramid of the new generation of professional esports, had made significant breakthroughs, then how could the number one player of the new generation, who stood at the top of the pyramid, remain at the same spot?
It was just that the current leader of the Four Emperors was already standing at a very high position, which made it more difficult for him to climb higher than everyone else.
And if —
In such a situation, the most suitable candidate happened to lend a "helping hand."
Naturally, everything that happened afterwards would not be surprising.
"That kid, he hid it from us really well." Number Three curled his lips and commented with some dissatisfaction.
Number Two snorted.
"Don't be so stupid that he'll just give everything to someone else."
Number Five smiled and said, "Lin Feng, you don't need us to worry about this kind of thing."
Number Four pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and smiled. "That's true. The way that kid does things, he would never let others take advantage of him for free. Although he said that he was helping, it was actually a kind of 'helping each other out'."
"I hope so." Number Two snorted coldly. Then, he looked at Number One again and frowned. "So, in your opinion, what stage is that kid with the surname Han at now?"
Number One retracted his gaze from the distant night view outside the window. He seemed to think for a moment before he answered,
"It's still a little lacking."
"But … the rest should only be a matter of time."
When the other four people heard this, their bodies trembled again.
Because they knew that if they got such an answer from Number One, it would mean that the final outcome was already set in stone. There was no longer any chance or suspense.
Number Three subconsciously sucked in a cold breath.
"When that brat really takes that step … he'll go even further than us old fellows."
"Hey, by then, even if it's Li Daozai or that damn crow, won't they be left behind by that kid? Damn it, even you, Second, can't avoid it! "
Number Two was obviously displeased by his old companion's noisy words. He looked at Number Three coldly.
"If you were in his shoes, you wouldn't be much better."
Number Three shrugged nonchalantly.
"Anyway, I'm not in the same position as that kid. There's no point in competing."
While the two of them bickered, Number Four looked at Number One again. "Then, Number One, what if he competes with you?"
When he said this, Number Two and Number Three stopped bickering. Including Number Five, everyone's gaze fell on Number One.
The atmosphere became slightly quiet.
When he saw his companions looking at him, Number One smiled.
"Me?"
Then, as if he thought for a moment, he gave his answer in a relaxed and casual tone.
"If that kid really takes that step.
"Then, by then, it will only be a difference in 'quantity'.
"As for 'quality' …
"There won't be any difference between him and me."
It was a light sentence.
However, it was as if a bomb had been thrown into the water. Even the other top legends of the previous generation in the Chinese esports circle were shaken to the core.
"That kid … is he also going to reach that level?"
At this moment, even Number Three, who had always been cynical, was slightly dazed for a moment.
Number Two's expression was a little gloomy.
Number Five sighed softly.
"The new generation of the Yangtze River surpasses the old … The new generation of the Korean esports circle has such a junior. I'm sure both Li Daozai and M will feel gratified."
Number Three retracted his thoughts. When he heard Number Five's words, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth with a hint of mockery.
"M might be able to do it."
"I think Li Daozai should forget about it. As a master, he was surpassed by his disciple. I don't know how sour he would feel."
Number Four looked at Number One with a worried look on her face.
"This isn't good news for us."
Number Three seemed to have thought of something. He also looked at Number One and raised his eyebrows.
"Hey, speaking of which, although Li Daozai didn't gain any advantage from you by relying on himself, it's possible that he'll send that Han brat to cause trouble for you. You have to think about this matter carefully and guard against it."
Number Two frowned.
"Maple's current progress is far behind that Han kid."
With a few words, he seemed to have predicted some possible scenes in the future.
It wasn't a very good scene.
Number One paused for a moment, then smiled again.
"It's fine.
"You guys don't have to worry too much about this.
"If Lin Feng really can't solve it on his own for now, I, as his master, should be able to help buy him some time.
"If that kid with the surname Han can really take that step —"
"Then even if he comes looking for me.
"So what if I accept it."
At this point, Number One looked out the window leisurely with his hands behind his back. His figure looked calm and relaxed against the glorious night view of Manchester City in the distance.
"I've been sitting in this position for too long."
"It's rare to have a junior who wants to challenge me … I don't mind giving him a few pointers."
