That night, Lin Feng was in his dormitory. His three roommates from Room 504 had already switched on their computers and were busy playing ranked matches in Ionionia. Lin Feng glanced around and realized that he had nothing to do for the time being, so he went to his desk and switched on his computer.
He entered Ionionia and used his main account as well, but there seemed to be a lot of players in Ionionia at this time. Lin Feng waited for a long time just to enter the server, and after more than ten minutes, he still couldn't get in. After thinking for a while, Lin Feng turned off the local server.
Moving the mouse, Lin Feng clicked on the European server's proxy login on the desktop. Since his roommates were all focused on their own rankings, Lin Feng could rest assured and logged into the European server with his cn 006 account. He was ready to take a look at the game.
In his friend list, he had the OB friend slot of his old friend, the European server's number one wizard, Phoenix. If Phoenix was currently ranked, he could watch a few matches to kill time.
There were not many people on the European server, so it was easy to log in. After Lin Feng opened his friend list, he was disappointed to find that Phoenix was not online.
But that was normal.
It was already September, and this year's S6 World Championship Finals were about to begin. Phoenix's team, Legend, was unsurprisingly the seeded team in the European region this year. At this time, Phoenix should be training for the upcoming finals.
This was also a tradition.
Generally speaking, when the finals were about to begin, the players of the participating teams would not easily use their main accounts to play random matches in their own servers.
On one hand, the coaches and team leaders of the clubs would arrange more rigorous and effective training tasks.
On the other hand, the players would have to start consciously reserving and hiding their strength. They could not be too careless in random matches and give the opponents of other teams too much material to learn from.
Lin Feng rubbed his nose.
Back when they were still in the S1 season, they didn't pay so much attention to it. Other than training, their top priority was to worry about accommodation, transportation costs, and food and clothing. They didn't have the time to worry about these kinds of schemes and calculations.
But now it was S6, and everything in the esports industry was starting to get on the right track. The competition between the various teams had indeed begun in the month before the finals.
Lin Feng's thoughts wandered for a moment, and then he heard a beeping sound.
At first glance, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
A pop-up window appeared at the bottom of the game interface, and the message came from another person on his friend list other than Phoenix.
sakura。
Speaking of which, Lin Feng also realized that this friend whom he had casually added back then seemed to like to look for him very frequently recently. Almost every time he logged on the European server, the other party would immediately send him a message inviting him to play together. He seemed to be quite enthusiastic, and even …
She was so passionate that she could be said to be a little clingy.
Lin Feng didn't think much of it because Sakura's jungler was really strong, especially when it came to coordination with his midlaner. It could be said that he was one of the few players who could play with him so well. So when he was occasionally asked to duo play with him, he was very happy and readily agreed.
Sakura's first message of the day was the same polite invitation as before, "Let's go.
"Good evening."
"Do you have time to duo play with me?"
Apart from that, Lin Feng noticed that Sakura was always extremely polite and respectful. Sometimes, Lin Feng felt a little embarrassed. He had tried to talk to Sakura a few times, but Sakura had always been very polite and respectful. Lin Feng didn't know what to do, but Sakura had always been very polite and respectful.
But tonight, it really wasn't convenient for him to accept Sakura's invitation.
Lin Feng looked around. A few of his roommates were playing ranked next to him. If he were to duo play with Sakura using his Senior One's cn 006 account, if he was discovered …
The whole dorm would probably explode in an instant.
After all, even if it had been a while, the cn 006 account still had a very high status and influence in the hearts of countless players on the Chinese server.
Last night at the Fulu Restaurant alone, he had already exposed a lot of his secrets. For the time being, he didn't intend to expose all of them at once.
So Lin Feng typed a reply.
"Sorry, tonight is probably not very convenient."
On the other side of the chat window, Sakura quickly replied.
"It's okay. Every time you logged on, I would drag you to duo play with me. I'm sorry for the trouble."
Even though Lin Feng had refused, Sakura was still apologizing to him. Even though Lin Feng wasn't used to such politeness and politeness, Sakura was still very considerate and considerate. Lin Feng was used to being so polite, but it was always nice to be around such considerate people.
Lin Feng scratched his head. His impression of Sakura had increased a few points.
Although they couldn't play in ranked, chatting for a while was good enough to kill time. Just then, Sakura sent another message.
"Did you hear about the news last night?"
Lin Feng thought for a moment, then typed, "Oh, is the Japanese server going to start a professional league? I heard that the Japanese clubs are starting to recruit foreign players from all over the world. "
On the other side of the chat window, Sakura asked.
"Do you have any thoughts on this matter?"
Thoughts?
Lin Feng scratched his head and honestly said, "I don't think so. The Japanese server hasn't been open for long, and the league and whatnot are definitely not established yet. They have to slowly explore it. It's normal for the clubs to recruit foreign players."
Lin Feng paused for a moment, then added:
"But I don't think there are many foreign players willing to go to Japan to play in their league.
Or rather, there's a high chance that the current top players won't leave. "
Sakura listened attentively. When Lin Feng finished, she continued to ask:
"Why is that?"
Lin Feng casually explained:
"It's a very simple problem. First, the league system in Japan has just come out, and it's not perfect yet. It hasn't matured yet. Second, if you join a Japanese team, it won't be a challenge for you to compete in the Japanese league, and the chances of you making it to the World Finals are too small. Those players who can stand at the top of the esports circle definitely won't leave their old teams."
Lin Feng didn't know Sakura's background, so he was quite direct with his words.
Sakura seemed a little dissatisfied.
"But, we can offer a contract with a better price than those players' original clubs."
We can at least double or triple the income of those players! "
In this sentence, Sakura seemed to have accidentally let something slip. She actually used the word "we."
Fortunately, Lin Feng didn't notice it. He only shook his head at Sukura's rebuttal and replied seriously:
"It's still the same.
Money is a good thing, but … "
"For a real professional player, there are more important things than money."
