A European jungler?
Ren Rou, Yang Fan, and Tang Bingyao were stunned by Ouyang's description. They hadn't watched much of the European LCS, so they didn't know much about European pro players.
Lin Feng didn't pay much attention to the European pro scene either.
Yesterday …
In the S5 Season Nightingale dark match that Thirteen mentioned, he encountered an unfathomably strong European player. A jungler as well?
Lin Feng turned to look at Ouyang.
"Ouyang, what's that jungler's ID?"
"Which team is he from?"
Ouyang scratched his head awkwardly. "Ahem. I can't remember the name of my team. It's just a new team from the European league. It's not one of those veteran teams like Legend. Oh, but I remember his ID. It's Nate."
“nate？”
Yang Fan subconsciously repeated his ID. His brows furrowed.
"I've never heard of a jungler like him in Europe."
Ouyang shook his head.
"He might not be that famous. I'm guessing he's a newbie, but you guys didn't see his match yesterday. He was a jungler in one match and a jungler in the other. He was a god!"
"Especially Wei's match. He killed three lanes in the early game!"
"In the middle and late stages of the team battles, they forcefully take the initiative. Their aggressiveness is ridiculous!"
"It's said that the European teams drag their time in matches … Last night was truly an eye-opener for me. That Nate was too decisive when he started his team. He didn't miss a single opportunity. I was listening to the Chinese broadcast in the live broadcast room. Before the commentators could even react, Nate had already started his big move — — and every time, he was successful. Holy sh * t, he's really leading the way!"
Ouyang's saliva flew everywhere as he boasted and described.
Yang Fan, Ren Rou, and Tang Bingyao were skeptical.
Lin Feng didn't say anything. Instead, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
A …
An extremely aggressive jungler?
If Ouyang wasn't exaggerating, then it was rare to see a jungler like this in the European LCS.
Then he thought of the upcoming Nightingale Dark Battle, and his eyes began to sparkle.
If it was really an expert of this level …
He should also be participating in the Nightingale Dark Battle, right?
If there was a chance …
Perhaps this time, he would be able to meet the other party?
…
The first day of school after the winter vacation passed in the blink of an eye.
Since they had just returned to school, the academic tasks on the first day weren't that heavy. The teachers of each subject only briefly explained the various revision tasks for the semester and assigned some homework. That was it.
"Tang Tang, did you help Bao Zi collect her homework today?"
"Just give it to her when she gets here tomorrow morning ~"
After school in the evening, Lin Feng and Tang Bingyao went home together. On the way back, he didn't forget to remind Tang Tang.
Tang Bingyao nodded seriously.
"Yes, I did."
"It's in my bag."
Hearing this, Lin Feng relaxed. "Mhm, that's good then."
He trusted Tang Tang's serious and meticulous personality.
Lin Feng couldn't help but grumble.
"Seriously, Bao Zi. It's only the first day of school and she's already taken a leave of absence. She even said she was working out, but she's already sick. Exercise doesn't help at all. I was just waiting for her to get here to share some good news with you guys."
Tang Bingyao couldn't help but ask curiously.
"What is it?"
Lin Feng laughed. "Good news!"
He quickly told Tang Bingyao about the Nightingale dark match that Nian Thirteen had told him yesterday.
Tang Bingyao didn't really understand. "Nightingale … dark match?"
Lin Feng said with a smug look on his face. "Yeah! I heard that the players participating in the Nightingale dark match are all top-tier players, and they're all using alt IDs. It's perfect for me to join in the fun! "
Lin Feng had to admit that Nian Thirteen's invitation yesterday really pleased him.
Recently, he had hit a bottleneck in his recovery. Playing in random matches on the national server was no longer enough to give him any hope of breaking through.
Right now, he needed more intense matches to motivate himself.
If he could fight against those former or current world-class pro players, that would be the best thing that could happen.
More importantly, the Nightingale dark match ensured that the participants could keep their identities hidden. They didn't need to know each other's true identities. They could spar purely with their strength.
This way, Lin Feng's identity as Maple wouldn't be exposed.
This was what made him feel the most at ease and satisfied.
After all, his identity as Maple wasn't just a symbol of honor, it was also a heavy burden.
Before he could truly return to the professional scene...
He had no plans of revealing himself to the public.
"Will there be a lot of professional players participating in the Nightingale dark match?" Tang Bingyao asked curiously.
"Yeah!"
Lin Feng nodded vigorously and waved his hand.
"Who knows, maybe we'll meet even stronger players!"
"Yesterday, Thirteenth Brother said that the Seven Kings and even the Four Emperors might show up in there!"
Tang Bingyao's jaw dropped. Her face was filled with admiration.
"Amazing!"
Lin Feng glanced at Tang Bingyao. His eyes lit up as if he suddenly thought of something.
"Hey, Tang Tang, you can come and join in the fun!"
Tang Bingyao was dumbfounded. She pointed at herself adorably with a look of disbelief and confusion.
"M-me?"
… …
"If it's me, then forget it."
The next day, An Xin heard about Nightingale's secret war from Lin Feng. Lin Feng once again invited An Xin to join him, but An Xin shook her head with a smile and refused.
"Isn't this exchange activity only going to last for three days?"
"If you can't make it on the first day, you and Tang Tang will have to fight on the next two days. If you add me, we won't have enough matches."
Lin Feng rubbed his chin.
"Oh, right.
You're right. "
Then, a regretful expression appeared on his face.
"Sigh, I was going to ask Ah Zeng to join in the fun."
"Looks like we'll have to forget about it."
Tang Bingyao weakly said, "I'm sorry.
"How about … I don't participate. Ah Zeng or Steamed Bun will be fine."
An Xin smiled and patted Tang Bingyao's head.
"It's fine. I'm not really interested. Besides, Ah Zeng has a lot of homework to do next semester. I don't think he'll be able to come even if he wants to.
Plus … "
An Xin paused for a moment, then added in a relaxed tone, "I haven't been feeling too well for the past two days.
"I haven't been feeling well for the past two days either. I just happen to need to rest for a while. Such a high-level competition … I can't really take it if you let me participate."
Indeed.
Even though An Xin had returned to school today, her face was still sickly pale. It looked like she hadn't recovered from yesterday's rest.
Lin Feng glanced at An Xin, then suddenly said, "You're a good girl.
"Hey, Steamed Bun, are you having your period again?"
"You don't look so good.
Did you lose too much blood? "
Tang Bingyao was speechless.
The girl, who had a premonition that something dangerous was about to happen, tactfully took two steps back.
At the same time, she took a deep breath and gave Lin Feng a friendly smile.
"It's only been a few days …"
"Do you want to die that badly?"
