In this world, no one could really make everything go smoothly, and no one dared to make an absolute commitment to something with full confidence.
Everyone had a limit to their abilities. In the cold and cruel world of reality, they could only do the best they could with their own abilities.
The players of the three teams in the LPL division, who had been awakened by Number One's words, once again threw themselves into the training room in full swing. Lin Feng and Li Shiyi, on the other hand, were silent for a while after Number One's questions were fruitless. They walked back to the training room and continued to train with the players of the three LPL teams.
In front of the things they really cared about, their abilities were too insignificant. Even if they were nervous and worried, there was nothing they could do. They could only deeply feel their powerlessness and weakness.
But in such a situation, when they could do very little for that matter and help that young lady, they could only do their best to continue to work hard within the scope of what they could do.
Become stronger.
Perhaps if they became a little stronger, they would be able to be of even greater assistance.
Or maybe …
At least when they were fully immersed in training, they could temporarily forget some things that they didn't want to think about.
That night, Tang Bingyao was fully focused on learning and improving under the guidance of her mentor, Bullet, in an internet cafe in Paris.
She started from the most basic details of the line operation.
The girl pursed her lips with a stubborn look on her face. She worked hard to adjust and adapt to the new style of play that her senior master had tailored for her. Little by little, she made herself stronger and stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Bullet, who was standing behind the girl, looked more and more relaxed. His eyes flashed with appreciation and satisfaction.
With every additional moment he spent with this girl, the satisfaction in his heart grew by a fraction.
Even at this time, the number one legend in North America in the previous generation felt lucky.
Fortunately.
He had accepted 001's proposal.
He had really found a perfect candidate for the inheritance that he had been looking for for many years.
Perhaps, he still owed 001 a big favor.
Bullet narrowed his eyes slightly.
He began to think that perhaps in the next season next year, when the real ups and downs and the thrilling storm began, it was not impossible for him to make an exception and adjust his position again. He could help 001 and the others a little.
…
It was still late at night.
The lights in the hotel room were dim and soft.
Number Five walked out of the bathroom and wiped his wet hair with a towel. He looked up and saw his fiancé sitting in front of the table, carefully flipping through a thick stack of documents under the soft light of the table lamp.
Walking forward, he reached out and adjusted the brightness of the lamp to make it brighter. Number Five smiled at Number One.
"It'll hurt my eyes if it's too dark."
Number One laughed and wrapped his arm around his beautiful fiancée's slender waist to show his gratitude.
"I'm used to it."
"It's not a big deal. I just took a look at the documents sent by Old Fang. I'm almost done."
Number Five nodded and asked with concern, "How is it?"
Number One glanced at the stack of documents on the table, shook his head, and sighed.
"It's not good."
"Old Fang and the others have done everything they can. I can't think of a better solution for the time being if they leave me here alone."
Number Five thoughtfully reached out and gently massaged his fiancé's forehead to help him relax and relieve his fatigue. He comforted him softly, "Don't put all the pressure on yourself. The people from the National Telecommunications Industry Association are professionals in this area. If you leave it to them, they'll definitely be able to come up with the best solution for now."
Number One nodded and then shook his head.
"Of course I know that."
"It's just that … in the past few years, we've been too selfish. We've had it easy, but we've thrown all the burdens on them. We've always felt bad about it. Now, we're thinking that if we can help, it'll be better if we can."
Number Five nodded in understanding. Then, as if thinking for a moment, he said,
"But you can't be the only one doing it."
"I'll help you think of something."
As she said that, she took the stack of documents on the table and smiled at her fiancé. "If I let my fiancé work so hard alone, as his fiancée … I'm not doing my job well."
Number One was slightly stunned. Then, he saw his beautiful fiancée's bright smile. There was warmth and he was touched. He took the initiative to pull Number Five into his arms and said in a low voice,
"Maybe … we should change the title of fiancé and fiancée, right?"
Number Five's earlobes were slightly red, which was rare for her. She was slightly annoyed.
"We're talking about serious matters."
"You old pervert —"
Number One laughed and hugged his fiancée even tighter. He also took the stack of documents. "Alright, alright, let's get down to business first —"
The night deepened.
In front of the elevator on the floor where the hotel's training room was located, the sound of the elevator door opening could be heard.
A moment later, someone pushed the door open and entered the training room.
There was already someone waiting in the room.
Someone looked up and raised his eyebrows.
"Continue?"
The world's number one mid laner captain of SSK Team had a calm and indifferent expression.
"Come."
…
Finally, it was the day of the quarter-finals' matches.
8: 40 AM.
Paris, Pullman Stadium.
The entire stadium was in an uproar. The two thousand spectator seats were filled to the brim with players who had come to watch the matches. In fact, tickets for the quarterfinals were sold out in just half a day a week ago. It was clear how popular the League of Legends World Finals was among players all over the world.
Below the stage, everyone raised their heads in anticipation, waving glow sticks or cheering on the electronic screens. The players and fans of the various teams and clubs organized themselves to cheer loudly, catering to the impassioned battle music played by the live music director through the gigantic sound system. The atmosphere of the entire competition venue was completely ignited before the battle even began.
8: 45 AM.
The quarterfinals entered the stadium one after another.
Everyone in the audience stood up and cheered and screamed in welcome.
This time, every member of the team was present. Even the members of SSK, who usually didn't show up in the group stages, were seated in the guest seats with the other seven teams.
The stadium was in an uproar.
In the official livestream rooms of the various streaming platforms, the netizens excitedly typed out bullet comments and analyzed the SSK Club players on the screen.
"Hey, SSK is here too!"
"Tsk tsk, they were so arrogant during the group stages … Now that they're in the quarterfinals, they can't sit still anymore."
"That's normal. There wasn't much pressure during the group stages, but once the quarterfinals begin, the matches in each group will be super intense. The other teams will definitely have to pay close attention and study. Who knows, they might be able to see the tactical trump cards their opponents have revealed in advance."
"And don't forget, today's match is the highlight of the tournament."
Such a comment floated across the screen of the livestream room and immediately received unanimous approval.
"That's right, that's right!"
"Tsk tsk, SSK must be feeling the pressure now. They won't dare miss today's match!"
