Lin Feng and the rest of Team God walked out of the elevator and into the lobby.
The others who had come down earlier and had been waiting in the lobby for some time now came up to greet them. The chief leader of the God club complained to his beloved members, "Why are you so slow? Any later and we'll be late —"
But looking at the time, it was only 7 o 'clock sharp. There was still enough time for them to reach the competition venue. At this moment, it was only the chief leader of God who was too worried. Just like his own team members, he was nervous about the start of the finals today.
Lin Feng walked over and greeted An Xin, Ceng Rui, and Tang Bingyao.
"Oh, you guys came down so early."
"Have you had breakfast?"
Ceng Rui nodded. "Yeah. We've been down for a while now."
An Xin glanced at Lin Feng and curled her lips. "We're not like some people. We don't oversleep."
Tang Bingyao was much more considerate. She looked at Lin Feng and didn't forget to ask him, "Lin Feng, are you full? There's rice noodles in the cafeteria today … "
While they were chatting casually, Morning Star, Wildsnow Nightsong, and the other main members of God went up to No.1, No.5, and the other seniors after a brief conversation with their coaches and leaders.
"Seniors."
The few members of God bowed respectfully towards Number One and the others.
This was a gesture of gratitude.
Thank you for your help, support and encouragement along the way. Although it seemed like the specially hired coach No.1 and the others had not personally appeared to give pointers for the past month, the God squad members who were directly involved in this matter were as clear as a mirror in their hearts —
If it weren't for their seniors, they wouldn't have made it to the finals today.
If they hadn't gone through this hellish training a month ago, they wouldn't have stood a chance against the strongest Korean team in the world.
But things were different now.
Today, they … could fight a battle!
Looking at the most outstanding juniors of the new generation of the LPL, No. 1's gaze swept across the faces of the members of Team God, lingering on their eyes for a moment.
Even the members of Team God, including Morning Star, couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.
Number One, however, laughed nonchalantly.
"Were you too excited last night?"
The members of God nodded their heads obediently. "Yes, senior, we really can't sleep …"
Number One smiled.
"I'm fine."
"If I can't sleep, then I can't sleep. Back in the previous generation, when the few of us were fighting in the World Championships, we also had this experience."
It was rare to hear such legendary seniors talking about the past, so the God team members couldn't help but perk up. Their eyes widened as they looked at Number One and the others. "Seniors, you're also …"
However, Number One did not intend to continue gossiping. He just waved his hand casually and changed the topic.
"So —"
"Since I'm excited, I'll keep this excitement going."
"Keep it up until the arena."
"Keep it up until he and SSK get into a 'best-of-five'."
"Let's take him down in one go!"
It was rare that a person as carefree and unhurried as No. 1 would actually give such a pre-battle motivational speech. His speech had an astonishing power of incitement and influence. It was as though his speech had suddenly made the blood of several of God's main players boil. They nodded fiercely.
"Yes!"
"Let's take him down in one go!"
They didn't care at all that No. 1 had taken away their chance to speak. When No. 1 finished speaking, the chief leader of God walked over with a smile on his face.
"Alright, everyone listen to Sir No. 1. Keep it up. Let's not waste any more time and get ready to depart."
And so, everyone prepared to leave the hotel lobby and take a bus to the arena.
Lin Feng, who was lagging behind, walked up to Senior No. 3 and asked in a gossipy voice.
"Senior, were you really so nervous during the tournament that you couldn't sleep?"
Number Three rolled his eyes at him.
"How is that possible?"
"Senior No. 1, you're just saying it to encourage the guys in God …"
Number Four adjusted his spectacles and smiled warmly. "Well, I did have trouble sleeping, but I think it was because everyone ate too much at night and it wasn't convenient to sleep at night."
Lin Feng: "…"
… …
Two buses were parked outside the hotel lobby.
The staff of God and the Telecommunications Association boarded one of the buses, while Lin Feng, An Xin, Tang Bingyao, and No. 1 followed the God team members to the other bus.
Once everyone was present, the bus started moving.
The bus slowly made its way to the arena.
Lin Feng, An Xin, Tang Bingyao, and Ceng Rui sat in the last row. Ceng Rui was browsing Weibo on his phone. After a few scrolls, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Today's popularity … is going to explode."
An Xin chuckled. "Yeah. It's obvious. It's the final match of the S-League, and it's also the battle between the LPL and LCK. Everyone's paying attention."
Tang Bingyao carefully calculated the time. "It's dusk in China now."
Ceng Rui nodded. "At most, the best-of-five matches will last until midnight." He paused for a moment before continuing, "If we win, it'll be a sleepless night for the entire server."
Ceng Rui didn't finish his sentence.
Lin Feng, Tang Bingyao, An Xin, and the others didn't even have to think about it.
If they lose …
It'll be a sleepless night too.
But the atmosphere will be completely different.
Tang Bingyao pursed her lips nervously. "Can God do it?"
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. "It's hard to say. We'll have to wait and see."
An Xin didn't respond. Her gaze swept past her companions and landed on the main roster of God. Then she glanced at the smiling Number 5, who seemed to be giving Morning Star and the others a gentle encouragement.
She lowered her eyes.
A complicated light flashed in the depths of her eyes.
Last night, some of the words Xiao Wu Jie had said to her seemed to resonate in her ears at this moment.
Her heart couldn't help but feel heavy.
"Ah Ye." In the front row of the bus, Morning Star called out to Huangxue Nightsong. "Give me a Gopher Machine."
Huangxue Nightsong casually tossed a mini Gopher over.
Morning Star caught it.
He clicked on Nightmare mode.
Not long after, the bus stopped in front of their destination. The solemn and grand finals venue was already in front of them.
Inside the bus, everyone got up and prepared to alight. Morning Star casually tossed the Gopher back to Huangxue Nightsong and followed his teammates out of the bus. Huangxue Nightsong caught the Gopher and glanced at the screen. Then he froze.
8 minutes 54 seconds.
Compared to Morning Star Morning Star's previous record, it was 17 seconds faster.
