It was another morning.
After washing up, Lin Feng and the others took the elevator downstairs to the hotel lobby and waited for the bus to take them to the airport. Several seniors, including No.1 and No.5, and An Xin, who needed to stay in Manchester City for a few more days, also came down to see them off.
"So, Senior, Little Dance, you're not coming with us?"
Lin Feng looked at Number One and Five.
Number One smiled and waved his hand.
"You guys go ahead."
"We still have some things to take care of here, but we'll be there in a few days."
Number Two's eyes fell on Lin Feng. His tone was as cold and stern as ever.
"Don't slack off even if you're there.
Do what you need to do every day. "
Lin Feng lowered his head and nodded obediently. Number three smiled and said, "Hey, boy, how's your practice with the gopher machine recently? Have you made any progress?"
"It's only been a few days … Senior, no matter how hard I practice, there's no way I can improve so quickly."
That was the truth.
Although up until now, a certain someone could easily achieve a result of at least eight minutes in the Nightmare Challenge Game, which was much better than the top professional players in the professional gaming circle, the problem was that these seniors in front of him had much higher requirements for him.
Eight minutes was far from enough.
What he got in return was yet another cold reply from Number Two.
"That means you're not working hard enough."
"Keep practicing."
"When we get to Paris in a few days, I want to see you play at least nine minutes."
Lin Feng frowned. He wanted to protest, but he didn't have the guts. He could only sigh and agree.
Tang Bingyao, on the other hand, held An Xin's hand, unwilling to let go. Tang Bingyao was clearly a little depressed about the temporary separation from her best friend. An Xin smiled and reached out to pat An Xin's head.
"It's not like we won't see each other again."
"I'm only staying here for a few more days. I'll meet up with you guys soon."
Tang Bingyao nodded, but she still held An Xin's hand tightly. She looked at the girl and whispered.
"Then, will there be anything else when we go back to the hospital?"
She couldn't hide the worry in her voice.
The girl stuck out her tongue and made a face.
"Don't worry."
"It's just a normal routine check-up — at most, they just need to prescribe some medicine, not even an injection."
His tone was relaxed and not the least bit pressured.
Ceng Rui looked at An Xin with a serious and solemn expression.
"If the hospital requests a thorough examination, there's no rush. Steamed Bun, you can stay here for a few more days. You don't have to rush over to meet up with us."
Due to the presence of a certain someone, some words couldn't be said too directly, but Ceng Rui's words had also tactfully expressed his own worries and warnings.
An Xin smiled. "I'm really fine. The surgery was successful, wasn't it? Don't think too much about it."
The girl winked at Ceng Rui.
Ceng Rui shook his head helplessly. He understood what the young girl meant and could only give up on trying to persuade her.
Lin Feng scratched his head.
"Eh, but that's true …"
"It's been so long since the surgery. Do they still have to go back for a routine check-up? The doctors in St. Edin are very responsible —"
An Xin commented.
To a certain someone, St. Edin Hospital's dedication to a patient like An Xin was a little exaggerated if it was just a simple tumor surgery. It was hard not to be curious.
However, his words earned him a sideways glance from Number Three.
"What? Can't the doctors be responsible?"
"It's better to be safe than sorry. You can't be too careful when it comes to surgery."
Lin Feng scratched his head again.
"Ahem … Of course you're right …"
He had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was when he thought about it carefully.
However, Lin Feng didn't have much time to think about it. A bus drove over from afar. Mo Sheng, who was already sitting in the bus, rolled down the window and waved at Lin Feng and the others.
"Alright."
"Let's go. We're in a bit of a hurry. If we don't hurry, we might miss the flight."
Everyone snapped out of their daze and prepared to board the bus. Number One waved his hand.
"Alright, let's get going."
"See you in Paris."
Lin Feng glanced at the seniors, then at An Xin.
"Alright, we'll be off then."
The girl smiled and waved her hand.
"Mhm."
"Do your best."
He watched as Lin Feng and the others boarded the bus. As the engine started, the bus slowly drove away. Suddenly, someone's head popped out of the window of the back seat of the bus and waved at them.
"Let's go!"
"Bye bye!"
Number Three chuckled. "That kid. He can't even sit still in a bus."
Number One turned to An Xin and raised an eyebrow. "Are you really going to Paris with us in a few days?"
The girl blinked cutely.
"Yeah."
"Didn't I already talk to Lin Feng and the others? Or do you think it's too much trouble to bring me along?"
The girl made a pitiful face.
However, Number One lightly knocked on her head and said, "Little girl, don't tease me with such words. It's useless. Go back to the hospital for a checkup. If the doctors don't allow it, don't even think about going anywhere."
Seeing that it didn't work on Number One, An Xin grabbed Number Five's arm and shook it.
"Xiao Wu, look at Senior …"
However, Number Five only lovingly reached out his hand to tidy the hair at the corner of the young girl's forehead.
"You're right, Senior."
"Listen to the doctors. You can't be willful."
Number Three nodded.
"That's true. It's already bad enough that you've been running around with these kids. You're still weak. No matter how willful you are, you can't play around with your body."
Number Four nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. No matter what, your parents left you in our care. We have to live up to their trust."
Number Two expressed her attitude in a concise and comprehensive manner.
"Forget about Paris. I don't think you should go to the finals."
"Just stay in the hospital," Wang Yao said.
Seeing the unanimous stance of the seniors, the girl rolled her eyes. As if thinking of a solution, she smiled.
"Alright, let's do the checkup first."
Then, the girl looked at Number Three and blinked. "By the way, Senior, I remember you mentioned that there's a hospital affiliated to Heidelberg University in Berlin, Germany. Is that right?"
Number Three was startled. He nodded instinctively.
"Oh, right … They're doing good research on ALS."
Suddenly, Number Three realized something.
"Hey, girl, don't talk about this."
An Xin put on an innocent face.
"Looks like Berlin is worth going to, isn't it?"
Number Three pointed at the girl in front of him speechlessly. Then, he looked at his friends and sighed. "This girl … is really cunning."
The few legends from the previous generation of the national server looked at each other again. No. 1 nodded slightly and muttered to himself,
"But —"
"If it's suitable, it's worth a try."
