The sunset glow swept across the sky above the city, rendering Shanghai, which was always bustling and bustling, with an intoxicating color before nightfall.
The streets were filled with endless traffic. People who had just gotten off work hurriedly boarded various forms of transportation. They were still busy in the city, heading to their respective destinations and striving for their own goals and dreams.
This was Shanghai.
It was the largest international city in China.
It was also the e-sports capital in the hearts of all the Chinese e-sports players.
The MSI Mid-Season Invitational Tournament for Season 6 of League of Legends would be held in Pudong New District's "Wind and Cloud" eSports Hall in a day's time. At this time, teams from all over the world that were invited to participate in the tournament had already arrived in the city.
Naturally, this included the Assassins from the Taiwan region.
The Assassins were recognized as the strongest team in Taiwan and were a legend in the world's professional e-sports circle.
They were the earliest and most experienced professional team ever since the establishment of the professional league of League of Legends. Since the beginning of the S1 season, they had been recognized as the number one team in the Taiwan region. Apart from the first World Championship, the Assassins had never missed out on any of the S2-S5 seasons of the S League.
At the same time, the team was even more well-known for their captain.
The number one jungler in Taiwan, Nian Thirteen.
Even before he was officially recognized as one of the seven kings in the world, this genius jungler who had single-handedly carried forward the Blind Monk's jungler and amazed the entire professional e-sports circle had already enjoyed a high status and reputation in the circle.
He had also served as the captain of the Assassins for a full five years.
It could be said that the reason why the Assassins had been able to firmly occupy the number one position in Taiwan for the past five seasons had an inseparable relationship with their captain.
Even on the Chinese server, there were countless Chinese junglers who regarded Nian Thirteen as their biggest idol.
However, for Lin Feng at this moment, the world's seven king jungler was just an old friend.
Oh, and a loser that he had defeated years ago.
He was also the thick-skinned guy who was obviously here to take revenge and force himself to eat.
…
"Hey, this is the place —"
"Isn't it a little too lame? The environment feels dirty and messy. "
"Maple, look at me. I came all the way to Shanghai, and you're treating me to a place like this? Isn't that a little too much?"
In a crayfish restaurant, Lin Feng, Nian Thirteen, and Tian Tian found a table close to the inside. When they sat down, Nian Thirteen, as a customer, looked around the interior of the restaurant and complained in disgust.
Lin Feng had an innocent expression on his face as if it had nothing to do with him.
"I didn't choose this place."
"Fatty recommended it."
Tian Tian touched his round head and explained somewhat embarrassedly, "Yes, yes, yes. I recommended this place because I'm usually training in the base and don't have many opportunities to come out to eat. The only thing I know is that this crayfish restaurant seems to be quite famous."
That was the truth.
The crayfish restaurant was called "Huang's Restaurant". Although it looked ordinary and the store was small, it was a very famous chain store in Shanghai. In particular, the one that Tian Tian brought Lin Feng and Nian Thirteen to was quite famous in the local eSports circle.
Just this nickname alone was enough to show the importance of this Huang's Crayfish Restaurant.
And this nickname was not for nothing.
It was said that this Huang Ji Crayfish Shop located in Pudong not only had a booming business, but more importantly, because the training bases of many teams and clubs in the gaming circle, and even some eSports streamers lived in this area, people in the gaming circle could be seen eating crayfish in groups of three or five from time to time when they were having their supper.
In addition, many people would not notice a small detail —
When eating crayfish, because they needed to wear plastic gloves, everyone was busy shelling the crayfish and could not rest their hands. Naturally, they would not immerse themselves in playing with their phones like they usually did during a regular meal — because they could not spare the time.
Since they could not play with their phones, they could only chat.
Therefore, a lot of gossip in the eSports circle often spread from this Huang's Crayfish Restaurant.
Even after such rumors spread more and more, many ordinary gamers would come to this crayfish restaurant, hoping to meet a few eSports gods or famous streamers, hear some gossip, or ask for an autograph.
Listening to Tian Tian's explanation, Lin Feng and Nian Thirteen found it quite refreshing.
Coincidentally, not long after the three of them sat down in the restaurant, there was a loud noise outside the restaurant, and a large group of people walked in, talking and laughing.
Roughly counting, there were about ten people in this group. Among them, there were three girls, all of whom looked like college students, youthful and beautiful. One of them had average looks, but her round face was quite cute, and the other two had outstanding figures and looks. They could be considered beauties.
Tian Tian could not help but let out a "huh?" He seemed to recognize someone in the group.
"These people …"
"I think they are from Team Rocket."
Nian Thirteen was stunned. "What's that?"
Lin Feng was the first to react. "Rocket? They are from the LSPL, right? "
As a professional player from Taiwan, it was enough for Nian Thirteen to know about the LPL teams. Naturally, he did not know much about the second-tier professional teams in the LSPL A-League. In contrast, Lin Feng was slightly more familiar with Team Rocket.
This team had entered the LSPL A-League in the S4 season. The overall strength of the team was average, and they were ranked in the middle of the LSPL division. However, they had a top laner and another support player who were quite good. These two could often be seen in the King's Bracket of the Chinese server.
Tian Tian now recognized the top laner of Team Rocket.
"I don't know what his name is, but his ID is' Ma Da '."
"The top laner is quite good."
Nian Thirteen pursed his lips as he listened.
"I don't care how they play … but it seems that they are quite good at picking up girls."
As he spoke, he glanced at the group of people from Team Rocket.
At this moment, a group of people had also sat down at a long table by the door. They didn't seem to notice Lin Feng and Tian Tian's group in the room. The men and women were chatting and laughing with each other. Among them, one of the members of Team Rocket seemed to be joking with the three girls, causing them to pout coquettishly and hit him.
Nian Thirteen's eyes mainly swept over the two prettier girls.
Among the two girls, one was taller, about 1.7 meters. She had a model-like figure, and her face had a seductive charm after makeup. The other one was shorter and looked more pure and sweet. She was also eye-catching.
The simple and honest Tian Tian guessed.
"Probably friends?"
Nian Thirteen rolled his eyes.
"What friends? Nine out of ten of them are female fans, okay? This kind of thing is very common in my world. Professional players are always attractive to normal female players who also like to play League of Legends. Look at those guys, they don't look that good, but didn't they easily get three girls to accompany them to eat crayfish?"
"What a pleasant life!"
Nian Thirteen said as he looked at Tian Tian and Lin Feng with a pained expression.
"I say, I came all the way here. It's one thing for you to treat me to crayfish, but didn't you think of finding me two girls to accompany me?"
"That's not good enough!"
