Shi Hang was baffled.
"Come to think of it, it's already the S6 pre-season. Even though the S5 rankings haven't been reset yet, the Korean server's Season 5 rankings should be out by now, right?"
"Why are you rushing to the Korean server at this time?"
Lin Feng scratched his head.
"Oh, I know."
"I didn't go there for the reward. This is a mission given to me by Senior One."
"Of course I have to hurry up and finish it."
As he spoke, Lin Feng rubbed his chin and muttered in annoyance.
"Even if I make it to the finals and win the championship, there's only a week left. It's going to be hard to finish the mission."
Senior … Number One?
Shi Hang was just about to light a cigarette when he heard Lin Feng's words. His hand trembled and he almost dropped the cigarette. His eyes widened as he stared at Lin Feng.
"Senior One?!"
"You mean … 'that person'?!"
Lin Feng said matter-of-factly. "Yeah."
Shi Hang couldn't keep his cool anymore. There were many people in the Korean professional scene who could be called "Number One" with similar IDs, but there was only one person who could be called that by Lin Feng.
"That person."
Shi Hang was in awe. "Did that senior give you a mission?"
Lin Feng nodded in distress. "Yeah. They gave me a Challenger account and told me to get into the top five of the Challenger leaderboards before the end of the National High School League. I was hoping to get into the top three or even first place, but it looks like I don't have enough time …" Lin Feng nodded.
Shi Hang sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Top five of the Korean Champion leaderboards?
"Damn, as expected of that senior. Even a random mission is so difficult."
He turned to Lin Feng and asked, "What's your ranking now?"
Lin Feng thought for a moment. "Around the top 30. I've been busy preparing for the exam. If I could get into the top 20 now, I'd have a better chance of getting into the top 5 in the next few days."
When Lin Feng said that, he looked a bit regretful. How could he have failed the mission? But if he tried to use this excuse to explain things to the first senior cultivator, he wouldn't be able to fool him.
Shi Hang was moved.
"He's already in the thirties? Your efficiency is frighteningly high! "
He paused for a moment before he frowned slightly.
"But it's still difficult. If you continue to charge forward from the thirtieth place, there shouldn't be a lot of points to win each round. Moreover, the people who are ranked are basically the guys in the top few tens. Many of them are professional players in the Korean OGN League."
Lin Feng nodded gloomily.
"That's right. That's why the next task is very difficult. We still have to win the National University League Championship. We have to work on both sides."
Shi Hang gave Lin Feng a sympathetic look.
"It's quite tiring, but someone like Senior No.1 wouldn't easily give missions to others. He probably thinks highly of you and wants to train you."
"Yes, I know." Lin Feng nodded and took a deep breath. His eyes were burning with fighting spirit again. "So, whether it's the championship or the top five on the Korean server, I have to give it my all!"
Lin Feng gave himself a boost with confidence and turned to look at Shi Hang.
"Speaking of which … the S6 pre-season competition has already started. Why didn't I see you on stage two days ago?"
Shi Hang shrugged.
"I'm a rookie now. I've only just returned to the team and I'm still getting used to it. It's normal for me to be on the bench for the first two matches.
But … I'll be on the bench for the next match against King. "
Lin Feng chuckled.
"I see. Alright, I'll go on stream and watch you play. You have to give it your all in the first match back!"
Shi Hang laughed heartily, a confident and proud expression on his face.
"Don't worry.
Even though I've been retired for so long … I'm not a pushover! "
… …
January 27th, the next day.
At nine o 'clock in the morning, Lin Feng, Chu Fang, and Chu Fang boarded a flight to Beijing from Pudong Airport.
The National University League's quarterfinals were just around the corner!
When it was almost two in the afternoon, the group of six finally took a taxi from the airport to the hotel.
Under Lin Feng's insistence, the starving group went for lunch first. They found an old Beijing charcoal hotpot restaurant and ate heartily. After filling their stomachs, they returned to their hotel rooms in satisfaction.
Inside the room, Chu Fangnan lowered his head to look at the memo on his phone and said,
"Now, everyone can take a short break."
"We're going to the Capital Chaoyang Stadium at around five o 'clock in the evening. Yes, that's the venue for the next match. We can come back after we're done. The organizers will send us a text message about the match schedule later tonight."
After rushing all morning and eating lunch, everyone was already feeling sleepy. Now that they had a break, they naturally returned to their rooms to catch up on sleep and rejuvenate themselves.
After checking in at the competition venue in the evening, the team still had to find a nearby internet cafe to prepare for their final training session.
As before, Lin Feng and Chu Fang Nan shared the same room.
Chu Fang Nan had originally planned to wipe his face with a hot towel and go to bed for a while, but when he walked out of the bathroom, he was stunned to find that Lin Feng was already sitting at the table with his laptop open. Lin Feng's face was full of concentration as he prepared to play ranked.
"Is it the Korean server again?"
Chu Fang asked as he approached Lin Feng.
Lin Feng nodded seriously. "Yeah. We need to hurry up. Otherwise, we won't be able to complete the mission."
Chu Fang shook his head. "Top five on the Korean server … That person's expectations of you are too high."
Even though Chu Fang had faith in Lin Feng's strength, he couldn't help but feel that this mission was too difficult. After all, trying to reach the top five on the Korean server in such a short period of time was a bit too much.
Even Lin Feng … might not be able to do it.
With that in mind, Chu Fangnan asked Lin Feng one more question.
"What's your current rank?"
Lin Feng answered even more smoothly.
"Number 34."
Chu Fangnan was shocked. "So fast!?"
His tone was filled with disbelief.
Back in Guangzhou, he knew that Lin Feng had just entered the top 100 of the Korean server. Moreover, Lin Feng had been busy studying for the past week. He shouldn't have had much time to play ranked on the Korean server.
But in such a short period of time, Lin Feng had unknowingly made it to this rank?!
Chu Fang couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. He stared at Lin Feng's back in shock, speechless.
Maybe …
Could this seemingly impossible mission really be accomplished by Lin Feng?
As far as he could remember, no one in the Chinese server had ever made it into the top five of the Korean server's King's Leaderboard. Although it wasn't to say that there weren't any LPL pro players with this kind of skill, this was the case.
This also meant that if Lin Feng could complete this "mission" … ….
This feat could very well become the first piece of good news to shake the Chinese server at the start of the new S6 season!
