Lin Feng was stunned by Morning Star's question.
Because for him, even though he was one of the earliest players to play League of Legends in the S1 season and quickly immersed himself in the game, and even received countless honors and achievements, when it came to the significance of League of Legends to him …
He rarely thought about such a question.
Because the word "meaning" seemed too vague, and it was too troublesome to think about it seriously. With his personality, he was never too lazy to waste too much time on such somewhat illusory questions.
Or according to the thoughts of most ordinary gamers —
"As long as you're happy!"
But at the same time, Lin Feng also knew that at this moment, Morning Star in front of him naturally didn't expect and wait for such an answer. So he paused for a moment, then seriously thought about it. In the end, he carefully worded his thoughts and slowly gave his answer.
"In the beginning, it was probably just because I liked it.
"I came into contact with it by chance, thought it was interesting, and liked it. Then I became addicted.
"To me, this is a very happy thing."
"Whether I win or lose, I can see my improvement and growth every step of the way."
At this point, it was still a very ordinary answer. Then, a certain someone paused again and continued, "That's right.
"But it might be different later on.
"Because I lost to that guy Han Shihao in the S1 finals — it was a huge blow.
"So, in the beginning, I really only had one thought in my mind: I must compete with that guy again, and then I must win."
Someone looked at Morning Star in front of him seriously. At this moment, he didn't hide his most honest and sincere thoughts.
"Speaking of which, it's a bit utilitarian.
"But it was from then on that I realized how much I hate failure.
"For me, League of Legends is the most suitable battlefield for me. In life, I may be carefree and not care about many things, but if it's in this field that I'm best at — I don't want to lose.
"I don't want to lose even once.
"But I've already lost once, so to make up for my regrets, I have to win again.
"Oh, of course, if I make up for my regrets, there are actually some other things —"
As if he had suddenly thought of something, a certain someone scratched his head and smiled in embarrassment.
"If it's the level of the Four Emperors, then I've already reached it back then. Now, I'm just returning. But even so, there's still a lot of room for me to continue improving."
"So many Legendary seniors of the last generation have never reached this level, and now that fellow Han Shihao is also desperately trying to break through the bottleneck."
"In two whole generations, only Senior No.1 managed to do it."
"That's why I'm always curious …"
Lin Feng let out a long sigh of relief. He looked at the night sky in the distance, his eyes sparkling.
"If it's possible."
"I also want to see the scenery above the Yonkō."
…
Strictly speaking, Lin Feng's answer just now was a bit irrelevant.
Morning Star asked about the meaning.
On the other hand, someone's answer seemed a little broad, as if he was talking about something that came to his mind. It was more like an ordinary ramble.
But Morning Star listened attentively from the beginning to the end.
He didn't even blink.
He listened attentively to every word that someone said. In the end, he nodded slowly.
But then he shook his head.
"That's great."
This was the heartfelt evaluation of Team God's mid laner captain after listening to Morning Star.
Then he paused and said:
"My words."
"At the beginning, my mentality and thoughts were similar to yours."
"It was just a coincidence that I came into contact with League of Legends. Then, I felt that it was interesting and got involved in professional eSports out of interest."
"Every victory and defeat, every growth."
"It's something to be happy about."
"At that time, I wasn't at the height I am now, but every day was indeed simple and much happier."
Morning Star said slowly, as if he was immersed in his memories. He felt a little yearning and emotional, but then he paused again and shook his head.
"But later, things became slightly different."
"Later —"
"For me, eSports began to mean more responsibility."
"Then … it was no longer simple and pure."
Lin Feng listened silently. When he heard this, he couldn't help but look deeply at Morning Star in front of him.
Yes.
This kind of mentality was understandable.
Because no matter when, when the word "responsibility" was involved in something, it would inevitably become a little heavy.
Back then, Morning Star might have just been an ordinary, talented rookie pro player. He only needed to think about how to become stronger, how to stand out on the professional stage, where the strong were as common as clouds, and how to be known by more people. Or perhaps he simply hoped that he could leave his reserve seat and become a member of the second team, and then work hard to become a member of the first team of the team that would fight on the field.
At that time, he didn't need to think about anything else but himself.
All he had to do was focus on charging forward.
But that was Morning Star in the past, an ordinary professional eSports player.
But now he was the captain of Team God.
So.
Everything was different.
As a captain, he had to bear the burden of the entire team.
And as the captain of God- Hand of God, as the core leader of the strongest team in the LPL, he even had to bear the expectations of all the players and fans of the entire server.
The greater the ability, the heavier the responsibility.
Compared to anyone else, perhaps after so many years, Morning Star was the one who could directly and deeply understand the weight of the word "responsibility."
"It's very tiring —"
Lin Feng let out a sigh.
He could understand Morning Star's feelings. When the dream and the profession he loved became a heavy responsibility, this kind of change, this kind of experience, was definitely not something that made people feel relaxed and happy.
Morning Star was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"Yes.
It's really tiring. "
Perhaps this was also the first time that the number one mid in the LPL, the ace captain of Team God, had unabashedly revealed his true feelings in front of others.
Under the drizzling night sky in London, the air was refreshing and slightly cool.
It also seemed to have an invisible magic that made people willing to talk and be honest.
"That's why I envy others a lot of times.
I also envy you a lot. "
Morning Star said to Lin Feng.
"I also want to be a pure pro player, just a mid."
"To fight without any scruples."
To have a single and clear goal only for my own victory and fun.
Regardless of other people's expectations and hopes.
I also want to see the Yonkō, and even the scenery above the Yonkō, just for myself. "
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on Morning Star's face.
"Maybe, you should do this."
Morning Star softly grunted, his eyes looking at the stars hiding behind the clouds in the distance. His expression became somewhat calm at this moment.
"Yes."
"So, this time —"
"If … you don't have to take responsibility."
"Actually, I just want to fight for myself."
"No matter whether I win or lose."
"No matter the cost."
