Speaking of which, Su Xue had a feeling that there was something about Lin Feng that she didn't know about.
However, Lin Feng was a very carefree person, just like any other high school student. Plus, Su Xue wasn't the type who liked to get to the bottom of things. Plus, she was busy with her own stream, so she didn't bother to ask him about it.
But now that she thought about it …
The more Su Xue thought about it, the more she sensed that something was wrong.
How could an ordinary high school student be this good at LoL?
This was no ordinary level of skill. It wasn't uncommon for a high school student to reach Diamond, Master, or even King. There were tens of millions of players in the country, so there were quite a few who could do this.
But …
Reaching the top five of the solo leaderboards?
Defeating Korea's top mid laner, Orian?
This wasn't something that could be done by ordinary players. Even the best professional players in the country wouldn't be able to achieve something like this in a single night, let alone ordinary players. Even the best professional players in the country wouldn't be able to achieve something like this in a single night.
Su Xue also learned that Lin Feng seemed to know a lot of people in the pro scene, including Chu Fang Nan, the vice chairman of the Shanghai Esports Association, and Addisi, who had just returned to the Chinese LPL.
How could an ordinary high school student know someone like that?
And it seemed like they had a good relationship?
It wasn't that Su Xue hadn't suspected Lin Feng's identity. She had even wondered if he had been in the pro scene before. Sometimes, Lin Feng would even casually mention it.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, Su Xue immediately dismissed this conjecture. She just assumed that Lin Feng was exaggerating out of habit.
After all, Lin Feng was only a senior in high school. If he had been playing pro for a few years …
How old would he have to be to start playing?
First year?
Third year?
That didn't make any sense at all!
Only now did she pick up all of these doubts.
… …
After the qualifiers were over, it was almost time for the stream to start. Su Xue bid farewell to her fans in the stream. Coincidentally, the delivery boy arrived with a midnight snack.
And so, Su Xue and Lin Feng sat down at the dining table, each having a plate of chicken and a cup of milk tea as they ate their midnight snack.
Lin Feng, who had been starving for a long time, ate the chicken with relish.
Su Xue, who was sitting across from Lin Feng, had a strange expression on her face as she ate.
After a while, she realized that this kind of glare was useless. In the end, Su Xue was the first to give up. She couldn't help but take the initiative to speak.
"Xiao Feng?"
"Huh?" Lin Feng was concentrating on eating the chicken.
Su Xue chose her words carefully. "Um … You mentioned before that the cn _ hook2 account was lent to you by someone else, right?"
Lin Feng replied vaguely, "Oh, yeah."
Su Xue asked cautiously, "Then who was the original owner of the account?"
Lin Feng's reply was simple and straightforward. "A very powerful senior!"
Su Xue took a deep breath. Indeed, it was not an exaggeration to give such an evaluation to such a legendary figure. As the question got closer and closer to the truth she wanted to find out, she became even more nervous.
"That senior … is he called … 001?"
"Yeah."
It was another matter-of-fact answer.
However, Su Xue's heart was already pounding.
It really was that god!
The information she'd found online wasn't wrong at all!
But why would such a legendary figure so casually lend out an account from the Champions of Korea? And why would he assign such a difficult task?
"So … you know that senior?"
"Of course I know him!" Lin Feng raised his head and looked at Su Xue in bewilderment. She thought she'd asked a stupid question.
Su Xue's face reddened as she realized this. However, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to ask the most important question.
"Did you really play professionally back in the day?"
"You're not lying?"
Hearing Su Xue's question, Lin Feng's mouth was wide open as he took a big bite of the steaming chicken. He couldn't help but stick his tongue out and gasp for air.
"I'm not lying."
"I told you about it, Sis Xue."
"Back in the day, my Maple ID was quite famous in the professional eSports circle!"
… …
The truth.
It was a truth that could shock countless veterans in the esports circle.
Yet, a certain someone had casually said it out loud in a carefree and uncaring tone.
When he said this, his expression was as natural as ever.
It was as if he'd said he'd scored 60 points on an exam.
It was so natural that even Su Xue subconsciously nodded her head in confusion.
"Is that so …"
"The ID name is Maple …"
The atmosphere at the dining table fell into a brief silence that lasted for three seconds.
Then.
Su Xue suddenly realized what was going on.
Maple!!?
Su Xue felt as if someone had smashed her head with a sledgehammer. She felt as if a hundred thousand tons of gunpowder had exploded in her head, leaving her in a daze.
"You're … Maple?!?"
As a player who'd only started playing League of Legends last season, Su Xue wasn't familiar with this ID.
But …
Last night, when she was looking up information on the cn _ hook2 ID, she'd also found some information about Maple.
It was a post on an online forum.
It mentioned that the owner of the cn _ hook2 account had a legendary status in the Chinese esports scene that no one could match.
The original poster of the post was certain that the legendary existence was the undisputed king of the professional esports circle in the previous generation.
And about Maple.
The original poster praised him as the most qualified person to inherit the throne of the new generation of the Chinese esports scene.
He even listed out all of Maple's glorious achievements and information in detail.
The number one mid laner in the S1 season.
Leading the team to the S1 World Finals.
Leading the team to the S1 World Finals.
Defeating the third ranked "Phoenix" of the Four Emperors.
Defeating the current leader of the Four Emperors, F, and winning all five matches in the BO5 finals. They were almost evenly matched.
Standing at the top of the world's professional esports scene, the number one player on the Chinese server.
… …
Subconsciously, information about Maple surfaced in his mind.
At this moment, Su Xue was completely stunned.
Her head was spinning.
Even though she suspected that Lin Feng might have played professionally back in the day, there was no way she could have guessed that he wasn't just a pro player. He was also the number one mid laner in the S1 season!
However, Lin Feng remained unfazed by Su Xue's sudden loss of composure.
After finishing the chicken chop, Lin Feng smacked his lips and stood up in satisfaction.
"Yeah, I'm full."
Lin Feng yawned and rubbed his nose.
"I'm still a little sleepy. I'm going back to sleep."
"Good night, good night ~"
As he spoke, he stood up and continued to yawn as he walked towards his bedroom.
His expression and attitude were as if nothing had happened.
It was as if what he just admitted wasn't the least bit shocking.
But Su Xue was completely dumbfounded.
"S-go to sleep?"
"Oh, okay … good night …"
Su Xue subconsciously replied. She sat at the dining table in a daze as she watched Lin Feng walk back to his bedroom.
Tonight …
She wasn't going to get a good night's sleep tonight.
Such an exaggerated truth.
It would take her a long time to digest it.
