In the oppressive shadow of darkness, the five strongest players from the previous generation in Europe gathered. When the man recognized as the leader spoke slowly and indifferently, the other four figures were all silent.
Only Crow's voice was still calm and emotionless.
"Continue?"
"Of course."
"That kid's strength is not enough to make me afraid to continue after losing a match."
His tone was flat and rigid, but it was as if he was just stating a simple and ordinary fact.
If such words fell into the ears of the vast number of ordinary players at this time, it was estimated that they would scoff at it and even laugh at it. They would say that this Crow was too proud to be so arrogant even though he had clearly lost. Was he not afraid of the wind cutting his tongue?
But the four top players of the previous generation, including J and Shield, nodded slowly in silence.
They had watched all ten matches tonight without missing a single one.
Of course, the strength that CN 006 had shown tonight was enough to make them, the veterans of the previous generation, slightly shocked. They had to admit that this kid, who may have inherited the legacy of "a certain existence," did indeed have a shocking level and realm.
Even in the previous last ranked match, CN 006's mid laner, Ruiwen, was enough to make the four of them subconsciously feel a strong sense of vigilance.
Even if it was a temporary outburst of extraordinary performance, it was still scary enough.
But.
They never doubted that their leader and captain, Crow, would be defeated by such a kid.
Even to the extent of retreating in the face of such a kid.
Looking at the entire world of professional eSports, throughout the entire two generations, only Lee Do-jae of Korea and "that person" of China were qualified to make Crow make such a concession.
Even the so-called Four Kings of eSports of the new generation, or even the leader of the Four Kings, F …
Were not qualified.
So, as Crow said at this moment, CN 006, who only crossed the threshold of the Four Kings with extraordinary performance, was nothing to him.
If the match continued after the previous tenth ranked match, there would not be any surprises or suspense, and the result of the subsequent matches would definitely still belong to Crow's strong winning streak.
This, the four of them were very clear about.
Without a doubt.
And it was precisely because of this that they had more unexplainable questions at this moment.
"We've been tricked …"
"What do you mean?"
Shield was the first to speak up.
At the same time, a cold glint flashed across Ghost's long and narrow eyes.
"That kid … what kind of tricks did he play?"
J still did not speak, but a thoughtful expression had already appeared on his face.
In response to the questions from his teammates, Crow just shook his head indifferently.
"It's nothing."
"Speaking of which, I was careless."
"I underestimated that kid."
"Nine wins in a row … Does it look very impressive? What do I gain by suppressing a brat from the new generation to the point where he can't even fight back? "
When he said the last sentence, Crow's tone carried a strong sense of mockery.
He wasn't mocking them.
It was self-mockery.
The other silhouettes in the dark were stunned by Crow's words. None of them were stupid, so they quickly understood what Crow was trying to say.
In comparison, it was just as Crow said. As the strongest player in Europe from the previous generation, it was meaningless for him to bully a brat from the new generation in a random game. Even if he won, there was nothing to be proud of.
On the contrary …
It was a rare opportunity for the kid known as cn 006 to play against Crow. After ten consecutive ranked matches, regardless of the outcome, at least the accumulated combat experience would be invaluable.
It was a win-win deal.
Shield subconsciously took a deep breath.
"So …"
"Tonight, was it that kid who set you up?"
Crow was silenced by Crow's words.
After a long while, the strongest player in Europe from the previous generation spoke again in an extremely cold tone.
"It might not be him."
"To be able to plot against me to this extent …"
"Perhaps, it's the person behind this kid …"
Although he did not mention any names, Crow's words caused the other four silhouettes in the dark to tremble at the same time.
…
"So, for Lin Feng, tonight's game was a win-win deal from the beginning."
On an international long-distance call, the young man whom Lin Feng respectfully addressed as "Senior One" sounded relaxed and calm.
"If he loses, he loses."
"With that kid's strength and condition, even if he were to recover to his peak during the S1 season, I don't think he'd have much of an advantage against that damn crow."
"So, it's normal for him to lose as many games as he wants."
"What's important is how much experience that brat can gain from his fight with that damned crow, and how much he can learn from it."
"As much as he can learn."
On the other end of the line, Number Two's eyelids twitched slightly.
"So, you're basically helping Maple find a cheap master for free?"
Number One laughed heartily.
"That won't be necessary. I alone am enough to do the work of a cheap master."
"That damned crow … can only be regarded as a cheap whetstone at most."
Number Two shook his head speechlessly.
"You're the only one who would dare to play such a dirty trick."
"If that damn crow finds out that you're behind all this, I bet he'll vomit blood from hiding in the shadows in some corner of Europe —"
Although that was what Number Two said, there was a rare hint of schadenfreude in his tone.
On the other end of the line, Number One's tone became calm and collected again.
"In any case, I don't think that damned crow is that stupid. It's about time for it to realize that something is wrong."
Number Two nodded. His expression became solemn again.
"Yes."
"Speaking of which, that damn crow's current strength is indeed a little terrifying."
"In the match between him and Maple tonight, with Maple's current strength, I don't think he'll be able to force that damn crow to use its full strength."
Number One smiled.
"Of course."
"If that kid can force that damn crow to go all out now, how can he hide his face as the strongest player in Europe in the previous generation?"
"At that time, Li Daozai and I wouldn't have found it so troublesome back then."
"That kid Lin Feng … He's improving really fast."
"But he still has a long way to go before he's truly qualified to fight against that kind of powerhouse."
"What's more —"
Number One paused. For the first time, his tone became bitingly cold and solemn.
"His opponent isn't just that damned crow."
Number Two was silent.
Then he nodded slowly.
Indeed.
Just like how eSports was never a single-player game.
Whether it was the new generation of top professional players or Lin Feng, they had to face more than just a crow that was comparable to the Yonkō (Four Emperors) or even a high-level Yonkō (Four Emperors).
In the future, they had to face …
They would be the five most powerful mountains from the previous generation of Europe!
