In fact, Lin Feng's words were partially correct. [No Pop-Up Window]
For Ceng Rui, after knowing Lin Feng's identity back then, he did have an indescribable feeling of uneasiness in his heart for the first two days.
After all, his identity was indeed a little different.
Being a teammate with a genius mid laner was a different feeling.
But being a teammate with a former number one professional mid laner in the national server was a completely different situation.
It was indeed stressful.
However, after a day or two, Ceng Rui's mentality was slowly adjusted back to normal.
Because in fact, if you think about it carefully, having such a former top professional player in the national server as a teammate was definitely something that anyone would feel extremely lucky.
Ceng Rui wanted to fight for this year's National High School League championship. At first, such a goal made him feel that he could only work hard as a goal, but now —
Now, in his heart, he truly had an incomparably strong confidence in this goal.
It was just like how the morale of Zhejiang University's team soared after they had a legendary founder like Shi Hang.
For the representative team of the Shanghai ESPORTS Association, the status and strength of the mid laner that they were currently sitting on was even a level higher than Shi Hang!
He was the strongest player in the national server who could lead a team to the world finals!
He was an existence who could compete with the current leader of the Yonkō, Han Shihao, in the arena back then!
Even against Han Shihao, he was only defeated by a hair's breadth. With such strength, in the current National High School League, who could compete with him?
Ceng Rui finally understood where An Xin's confidence came from at that time.
Now, he …
He also felt incomparable hope!
But —
In addition to this hope, there was also a more complicated feeling.
Looking at someone's figure muttering as he walked away, Ceng Rui let out a sigh of relief. The light in his eyes flickered.
Being able to be a teammate with such a person was naturally a kind of luck.
But it was not just luck.
Because with his pride, he would never be willing to simply hug the thigh of a teammate to win and win the championship.
He was also a member of the representative team of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association, so he also had to contribute his share of strength. For example, his performance against Zhejiang University was far from enough.
As that guy's teammate …
His own strength had to keep up as well.
At the very least, he couldn't be a burden and let that fellow's shadow get further and further away, right?
The light in Ceng Rui's eyes shone, and he slowly became resolute and determined.
It wasn't just him. Haozi was probably the same.
Even if it was a little pretentious, even if it was just for the sake of continuing to be qualified to fight alongside that guy as a teammate, from now on … they had to work harder!
At the same time, in another corner of the internet cafe, the team's top laner, Zhang Hao, was gritting his teeth as he started a ranked match. The words that came out of his mouth seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"I have to become stronger!"
"I have to get stronger!!"
"I'm Maple's teammate now!"
…
Some people knew the truth, and their emotions became incomparably complicated.
But some people didn't know the truth and were still trying to find out.
For example, the founder of Fudan University's E-Sports Club, the jungler of Team Bright Light, one of the eight professional E-Sports Clubs in the LPL, "Golden Flash."
"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?"
"You came out of nowhere and said that this competition would be very interesting, but in the end, you were defeated by a team of high school students!"
"How the hell is this interesting?"
"Oh, right. I also heard that you were forced to chase the third player in the end? That team's mid laner was able to fight you head-on? "
"Old Shi, it's really not nice of you to keep it a secret. That kid … what's his identity?!"
Golden Flash was bombarded with questions over the phone. He was really full of question marks and doubts about this matter.
But in the face of his old friend's urgent questions, Shi Hang appeared quite lazy.
"Oh, nothing."
"I told you, I promised to keep it a secret."
"You should just give up on that idea."
Golden Flash gritted his teeth. "Damn, I've never seen such a shameless guy like you … You even freeloaded a meal from me last time, and this is how you repay me?"
Shi Hang laughed as if nothing had happened.
"Hey, we're already so familiar with each other. Old Jin, don't bother about such a small matter like a meal."
"If you're so dissatisfied, I'll give you another little secret."
Golden Flash was stunned. "What?"
Shi Hang paused, then suddenly changed the topic.
"You're still in the Mingguang Team, right?"
"Nonsense, I'm not going to retire so early like you …" After subconsciously complaining, Golden Flash suddenly reacted. "Why are you asking this?"
On the other end of the phone, the corners of Shi Hang's mouth slightly hooked up.
"Nothing."
"It's just that next …"
"I'm ready to come back."
In one sentence.
Like a sudden clap of thunder, it directly shocked Golden Flash on the other end of the phone.
"You, you, you, what did you say? Say it again!!? "
Shi Hang's voice from the phone was still calm and unruffled, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.
"I mean, I've been idle for so long …"
"It's about time for me to return to the circle and stretch my body."
As soon as his voice fell, the other end of the phone was already so silent that one could hear a pin drop. Shi Hang's gaze was already looking into the distant sky. He smiled.
This was the promise he made with Maple.
That guy is coming back soon.
I … I'll go ahead and wait for him in the national professional esports arena.
…
After New Year's Day, the weather in January was still getting colder.
One could see white fog in the air when they exhaled. Pedestrians on the road couldn't help but put on thicker clothes to resist the cold of the deep winter.
At the beginning of this month, the East China region of the National University League ushered in the final.
The representative team of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association against the team of Fudan University.
On the day of the game, the stadium attracted more than two thousand spectators to watch the game. The huge stadium was packed to the brim and it was lively.
In the final of the set of five, after nearly four hours of fierce battle, the team of Fudan University unexpectedly won the final victory by a thrilling 3 to 2, becoming the champion of the East China region.
Such a result also shocked all the audience at the scene.
One must know that in the current East China region, almost everyone had reached a consensus on one thing —
The representative team of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association that defeated Zhejiang University was the undisputed strongest team in the East China region.
In comparison, although Fudan University's team was equally strong, they were only on par with Zhejiang University's team. Not to mention that Zhejiang University's team had Shi Hang, a former professional player from the national server.
In other words, the odds of Fudan winning against the representative team of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association were not high.
But in the end, Fudan won.
Everyone was confused. Even the members of the Fudan University team were excited and happy, but they also felt a little strange —
They felt that the performance of the opponent's representative team of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association was a little weaker than before.
Could it be that they were hiding their strength?
There was some truth to this speculation. After all, the current finals had no impact on the national finals. After the team qualified for the national finals, it was possible that they began to preserve their strength and focus on preparing for the next game.
However, the real reason was something no one could guess.
