Lin Feng didn't seem to mind Nian Thirteen's grumbling.
"It's good enough that I'm treating you to crayfish."
"You want to pick up girls? You're too demanding, Thirteen."
Nian Thirteen couldn't help but glance at Team Rocket's table not far away with a hint of envy in his eyes.
"Damn, how am I demanding?"
"I'm just a second-tier LSPL player. Even when I'm out for crayfish, I have three good-looking girls to keep me company. I'm one of the Seven Kings in the world. How can I be treated worse than him?"
Lin Feng smiled.
"I'm more charismatic. It's normal for girls to like me."
Then he glanced at Nian Thirteen and commented.
"Forget about your looks."
Nian Thirteen rolled his eyes. "Damn, what's wrong with my looks? I'm a little handsome, okay? "
He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Alright, alright. Maybe I'm not as good as you, but at least I have good facial features. Besides, do you really think that female fans go there for something? Looks? Do you think those Team Rocket players rely on their looks to make a living? You're just using your identity as a professional player to deceive little girls … "
Lin Feng sighed.
"Looks like the identity of a professional player is so useful now …"
Nian Thirteen nodded. "That's right. The fame of professional eSports players is almost on par with those movie stars and singers. I'm not trying to brag, but I'm the captain of the Assassin team. Wherever I go, there are female fans fighting to get my autograph!" Nian Thirteen nodded in agreement.
Lin Feng looked at Nian Thirteen suspiciously.
Nian Thirteen looked annoyed. "Hey, hey, hey, what? You don't believe me? If you don't believe me, you can ask Fatty. A top laner in your LPL region like him also has a lot of girls chasing after him! "
"Fatty?" Lin Feng was surprised, he turned his head and looked at Tian Tian: "Really?"
Tian Tian's chubby face turned red from the question, and he answered slowly and shyly, "This … Usually, after a match, some girls would come over to ask me for a photo or an autograph —"
Next to him, Nian Thirteen nodded. "Yes, yes, that's right. Besides, Fatty is chubby and very innocent. Female fans feel safe when they see him and are more willing to take the initiative to get close to a god like him."
Speaking of this, Nian Thirteen looked at Lin Feng and suddenly changed the topic, clicking his tongue.
"But if you really want to say it …"
"Maple, if you hadn't retired so hastily, with your good looks and handsome looks, you would've easily won over a large number of loyal female fans, not to mention your personal ability!"
Lin Feng scratched his head.
"Is that so … Alright, but I'm not interested in that."
Nian Thirteen looked exasperated. "You're wasting your own resources, alright?! If I were you, I would've thought of ways to get myself a beautiful girlfriend. Even SSK's F was involved in a scandal with a beautiful Korean OGN League host. Look at you, you're such a loser! "
F, the leader of the Yonkō, had a scandal with a beautiful Korean esports host?
This was another gossip in the circle.
Tian Tian couldn't help but argue for Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng isn't bad either."
"He's also very popular with girls. He has Bao Tou and TangTang!"
Nian Thirteen's eyes lit up. "Bao Tou? Oh, right, the last time I saw her was a few years ago. Tsk tsk, I'm not exaggerating, but Bao Tou was already a pretty girl back then. She must be even prettier now, right? Hey, why didn't you ask her to come today? "
Lin Feng scratched his head. "Oh, I did, but she seems to have something to do tonight. She even asked me to say hi to you on her behalf. It's fine, we'll all come to watch MSI tomorrow. You'll be able to see her then."
…
While they were chatting, the crayfish that the three of them had ordered were served by the waiter. Hence, the three of them continued to chat while eating, and the topic of their conversation naturally turned to the MSI Mid-Season Invitational Tournament that was about to begin.
"The European LCS Spring Tournament is a bit of an upset."
Nian Thirteen clicked his tongue.
"The veteran team, Legend, actually didn't win the championship and only placed second. Instead, MLG managed to snatch the invitation to MSI this time."
Tian Tian sat next to him and objectively commented.
"MLG is also very strong."
"Their mid laner, Spoon, seems to be playing pretty well this season."
Lin Feng nodded. "Yeah, Spoon is pretty good."
Nian Thirteen looked at him from the corner of his eyes. "If I remember correctly, Spoon was also defeated by you back then?"
Lin Feng said modestly, "It's not that bad."
But Nian Thirteen was right.
Speaking of which, during Season 1, Lin Feng's group of old rivals were mostly from Europe and North America. At that time, the strong European and American teams dominated the scene. Even the Korean server had yet to rise to prominence. In the European region, other than Phoenix, Lin Feng's old rival, Spoon, who was now one of the Seven Kings, had fought against him several times.
Of course …
All of them lost to Lin Feng without exception.
"To be honest, Maple, you really killed almost all the top professional mid laners in the world of professional esports."
Nian Thirteen couldn't help but sigh as he recalled the past.
At that time, Maple and F- Han Shihao were legends that every pro player in Season 1 had to look up to.
Apart from each other, the two of them were practically invincible.
Lin Feng waved his hand. "It's all in the past."
He was very open-minded. The glory of the past wasn't something he should be proud of. To be honest, he was just an ordinary person who was still trying to find his form and return to the professional esports scene.
Nian Thirteen's interest was piqued.
"But it seems like there are a lot of old guys in this year's MSI."
"MLG's mid laner Spoon, the Korean SSK's F, and the exhibition match. Phoenix is here too. Fatty and I are all old guys who started playing in the S1 season, right?"
Tian Tian nodded. "That seems to be the case!"
Lin Feng rubbed his chin. "Oh … If that's the case, there are a lot of old rivals here."
The next moment, Nian Thirteen's malicious gaze fell on Lin Feng.
"You're coming to MSI to watch the matches in the next few days, right?
"Tsk tsk … In the Nightingale Dark Battle a while ago, you wore a Lin account, so no one recognized you.
"But this time, if Phoenix, Spoon, and even F were to see you, they might recognize you —"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I think it'll be a good show!"
Lin Feng was a little dazed by Nian Thirteen's description.
Because …
That seemed to be a possibility.
Previously, he had been so excited to watch the MSI competition that he would have forgotten about it if Nian Thirteen had not mentioned it. However, if he were to meet his old rivals in the eSports arena and get recognized —
What kind of expression should he use to face them?
Lin Feng began to worry.
