Bo Jiu noticed the change in the Almighty's attitude.
From his resistance to the mention of it.
There had never been any warmth in his gaze.
But she didn't expose him.
As long as the Almighty wanted to return to Jiang City, it didn't matter what his real motive was.
There were less than three days left until the Asian Cup.
She had checked the rules of the competition and the opponents she would encounter.
Supreme Alliance needed the Almighty.
It hadn't been easy for them to reach this stage. If they missed the championship again because they didn't leave on time, everyone would regret it for the rest of their lives.
Compared to the new teams.
Supreme Alliance wasn't young anymore.
In the esports arena, there was never a lack of talented and young players.
Most people wouldn't just say they liked a team but they didn't really like one team.
Great waves washing sand was the basic principle of this industry.
Bo Jiu wasn't the only one who understood this. Yun Hu, Lin Feng, Rao Rong, these players who had been playing for a few years all understood. Especially Yin Wuyao.
Even though he said that his age wasn't stable.
But deep down, he knew that this wasn't his peak.
After this battle, whether or not they could wait another year and continue on this path was unknown to everyone.
They couldn't compare to the new teams.
Those youngsters were still young and had unlimited possibilities.
Hence, Bo Jiu tried her best to bring the Almighty back to Jiang City.
She knew that was what he wanted.
Even if he had forgotten about it.
Actually, it didn't matter. She was helping him remember it.
Compared to the ungoverned area.
The bustling Jiang City had already started to advertise for the upcoming Asian Cup.
Regardless of whether it was online or offline, anyone who played games knew that this year's Asian Cup would be held in Jiang City.
The lights in the Qin Group's Club were lit throughout the night.
Yaoyao seemed to be living in the internet cafe.
There was basically someone delivering food in the internet cafe.
A set meal of rice with meat and vegetables for ten yuan.
There were many varieties such as shredded pork with chili sauce, shredded pork with garlic sauce, and stir-fry.
At noon, there weren't many people. In the evening, almost all the people who came to stay overnight would order a serving at around 12 o 'clock.
In the past, Xue Yaoyao had never eaten dinner because she was on a diet.
Now, to familiarize herself with the battlefield, she would play games twice as often as before.
When they were hungry, they would ask the people in the Internet Cafe for a portion.
Now, Xue Yaoyao had gained some fame.
She also had fans on the internet.
Yin Wuyao had specially prepared a hat for her.
Feng Shang was sitting next to her, wearing the same baseball cap.
Coco also wanted to come over for a free meal.
Facing the mirror, he began to arm himself.
After she was armed, she crept downstairs and silently walked past a dozen female fans waiting downstairs. She smiled so much that her eyes were curved. She took out her phone and sent a voice message to Yin Wuyao. "Uncle, I'm telling you, I was very successful this time. No one recognized me. Wait for me, I'll be there in a while!"
Yin Wuyao had a cigarette in his mouth. After listening to the voice message, he lifted his head slightly and didn't reply.
No matter how Coco armed himself, he would be recognized.
Unfortunately, Coco wasn't aware of this problem. He was very excited and looked like a cat-like teenager. Even his eyes were covered, but he had a pair of furry ears on his head.
After all, Christmas was coming. As a typical otaku, Coco was very curious about everything.
He had used twenty minutes to shake off his assistant. He had even used the excuse of a cold to trick him into buying medicine for him so that he could go to the Internet Cafe at night.
Coco rarely went out alone. He was a young master from abroad and he was an esports celebrity that Supreme Alliance had specially groomed.
Hence, his trips were destined to be different from others. Every time he went out, he would be followed by a nanny car. This wasn't an exaggeration.
His fans were young but they were very loyal. They would often wait downstairs and sometimes at the airport, although it wasn't on a large scale.
But it was undeniable that it wasn't easy for Coco to go out.
This time, Coco thought that he had finally shaken off his assistant and wanted to try taking the subway alone.
He didn't know that his sneaky behavior had been captured by the people behind him.
There were three girls covering their mouths and whispering, "Coco is so cute."
"He thought we couldn't tell who he was. He's so cute!"
Since someone had taken a photo, someone would definitely post it online.
When Coco bought the subway card with his mask on, his eyes were very serious as he asked the ticket seller, "Do you know me?"
Then, he successfully got a subtle look from the ticket seller, asking him if he had some kind of mental illness.
Coco wasn't angry. Instead, he was very satisfied. Look, everything was fine. He could go out by himself.
However, the next second, his phone rang.
His phone rang. It was Feng Yi.
Coco was shocked. He looked around before picking up the call, pretending to be calm. "Hello, what's up? I'm playing games to train my hand speed. If there's nothing important, I'll hang up first. "
"Playing games? Training your hand speed? " Feng Yi laughed. "Why don't you explain to me how you train your hand speed by playing games in the subway?"
Coco froze. He told himself that Fox Feng couldn't possibly know where he was. He must be trying to bomb him. "Cough, what are you saying? I can't hear you. The game is dying."
Feng Yi heard this and placed his pen down slowly. He looked at the tablet that the assistant brought over. The photo on it was very eye-catching. "The cat ears on your head look good."
"F * ck!" Coco took off his mask and was a little annoyed. "How did you know?"
Feng Yi gestured to the assistant before saying, "It's all thanks to your huge number of fans. There should be a few behind you now and there will be more in the future. It's best that you leave before anyone can react. As for the place you want to go to, do you want to cause the internet cafe to close down? Stay where you are and don't move. The assistant will be there in a minute. "
Coco actually didn't understand. "Fox Feng, be honest, are you hiding something from us?"
Otherwise, even in the past, he would occasionally come out for a breather.
It wouldn't affect the overall situation.
Feng Yi paused. "No."
Coco wore his mask. "Who are you lying to? It's not like I don't go online. Those people are still scolding Little Spade, that's why you're worried about others."
Feng Yi laughed. "Since you're clear, come back obediently."
"Got it." Coco tilted his head, his eyes dimming. "But, is it always going to be like this?"
Sometimes, he didn't understand the speculations the netizens had towards that person. Just because that person was a girl, all her previous efforts were denied.
If it hadn't been for Big Spade, they wouldn't have been able to qualify and would have lost in the provincial team competition. How could they have a future?
Big Spade had never done anything overboard.
If she had really found a substitute player or done something immoral.
He wouldn't forgive her.
Because it was related to professionalism.
But so what?
Coco still believed that fans shouldn't be like this.
But he knew that some people had used their love as an excuse to force Feng Yi to spare some time to manage.
Some people's love was scarier than disgust.
They use that word to blackmail you into thanking her.
If you didn't thank them, they would think you didn't cherish your true fans.
The comments online didn't die down.
Sometimes, Coco's heart would turn cold.
He had asked himself why he still wanted to play esports.
There were thousands of reasons to tell him to give up.
But there was one reason he couldn't let it go.
His teammates were here.
There were so many people holding up signs, supporting him.
This was probably the question that every Supreme Alliance member would be thinking about in the middle of the night.
But they didn't know.
The matter online was one thing.
What truly made Feng Yi feel helpless was that he had used his family's connections to obtain accurate information from the Compound.
Qin Mo was missing.
And the higher-ups were trying to find him.
There wasn't any specific content and the person who said it wasn't clear.
Because anything related to Qin Mo was too confidential.
Feng Yi put down the phone in his hand. How was he going to tell the players who were still waiting for Qin Mo's return that their captain wouldn't be coming back …
"Boss Feng." The assistant watched the vice president's expression worriedly. She had been in the club for so long but had never seen Feng Yi like this.
Regardless of the time, he would never let people think Supreme Alliance was in danger.
Even after the competition ended, he still had a fox-like smile on his face, moving freely in and out of the mall.
But this time, he took off his glasses, probably because he was too tired, even his voice was a little hoarse. "Go and write the press release."
"Are we really going to do that?" The assistant couldn't help but ask. "Is there a possibility of a turnaround?"
Feng Yi glanced over, rubbing his brows, not saying a word.
The assistant continued, "Actually, Boss Feng, I used to resent Big Spade too. After all, I couldn't understand why she wasn't afraid of anything, not even her fans. What right did she have to be like that? Later on, I understood that she didn't do anything wrong. Esports is just esports. If it wasn't for her, Supreme Alliance would forever be stuck in the provincial competition. It's us outsiders who think too much. If we like an idol, we should let that idol do as we want. This is a problem in itself."
Feng Yi tilted his head, lighting a cigarette. "It's too late."
After going through that kind of thing.
No one would come back.
Many people said that the fans would be bitterly disappointed.
Perhaps they didn't know.
As an idol, they would be bitterly disappointed.
But at this moment.
A video suddenly appeared on Weibo.
The media was shocked at the number of reposts. How could it be so high?
It was about to become a hot topic.
Feng Yi was still thinking about how to get Coco out of the whirlpool of public opinion without being used by others.
He didn't notice the commotion on the internet.
It was someone from the publicity department. He pushed open the meeting room door, panting heavily as he looked at Feng Yi. "Boss Feng, Weibo, Weibo …"
Feng Yi's face changed, thinking that something had happened on Weibo.
Everyone knew that Supreme Alliance was on the verge of collapse. Ever since the news of Spade Z being a girl was exposed, the internet hadn't calmed down.
If it happened again … Even Feng Yi wasn't sure if they would lose the Asian Cup before the competition even started.
"Boss Feng, here!" The person in charge of the operations took a laptop, clicking on one of the Weibo posts.
The post was written like this.
"Do you still remember the brothers who used to play together in the dormitory? Do you still remember the crystal that you pushed away together? Do you still remember the days when you turned around and clapped with that person, shouting 'Double Kill', instant noodles flying everywhere? Do you still remember the team that you loved the most, Supreme Alliance? "
After the two words' Supreme Alliance 'landed.
It was a video.
The video was like a micro movie, but it was as though it was happening right beside them.
The first scene of the video was of a teacher, teaching ABCD on the stage.
The second scene was of a computer programmer. The camera slid over to the Hero icon on his computer screen. He was working overtime late at night, staring at the icon for a long time without opening it.
The third scene was of a driver, his body leaning back, waiting for the traffic light. He heard a middle school student beside him talking, "Did you know that this year's Asian Cup will be held in Jiang City? Supreme Alliance will be competing."
The driver's fingers paused, only starting the car after three seconds.
The fourth scene was of a person working on a video, but he couldn't do it well. He was obviously being scolded, turning his head to smoke.
"Brother Li, buy me a bottle of water." Someone ordered him.
He didn't move. The person saw him looking at his computer, arching a brow. "Brother Li, do you know how to play games?"
"Nope."
However, the next moment, he lifted his head to see a video. Almost at the same time, the other three were watching the video from different places.
It was a video of Supreme Alliance competing in the National League.
Eleven of them, lined up, their uniforms fluttering in the wind.
When you dream in the middle of the night, do you still remember the path you took when you were young, the people you loved, the games you played?
In 2018, we will wait for you here — Supreme Alliance.
In that instant.
The gazes of the four of them changed. The scene returned to a year ago, when they were sitting in the dormitory, each of them wearing headphones, throwing peanuts at each other.
Buses, high-speed trains, trains, taxis.
The background music started, it was the song Spade Z had hummed during the filming of the variety show. "You and I come from small villages in Hubei, Sichuan, Guangxi, Ningxia, Henan, Shandong, Guizhou, and Yunnan. We once swore to be great people, but one day in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, we suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, as though we were woken up by fate, it said that we can't live like this …"
It said that we can't live like this for the rest of our lives.
Swoosh!
The scene changed.
The four of them gathered in Jiang City.
After hugging, they sat in the internet cafe, just like in school. They wore their headphones and the special effects of Burning Blood started playing.
"We're here, the real Supreme Alliance, where are you?"
The real Supreme Alliance?
Feng Yi paused.
Even the people from the Publicity Department had tears in their eyes as they watched from behind.
Without Spade Z, how could the Supreme Alliance be considered the real Supreme Alliance?
What shocked them was that the video wasn't over.
It was followed by a five-second interview.
"I'm from Jiangxi, Big Spade, where are you?"
"Reporting from Shandong, I'm here to watch the competition. It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman, Supreme Alliance is complete with Almighty Z."
"I'm in Hangzhou, the first time I heard about Spade Z, I found her extremely handsome.
The FC King of Zone C, she doesn't say a word when she's playing, she's so cool. As long as we follow behind her, we can win. Is it time? It's a pity, Almighty Z, I miss you so much. "
Almighty Z, I miss you so much.
It was just a few words, but they came from all over the world.
Yes, it wasn't just China.
There were people of other colors too.
Every time a city's name flashed across the video, it was a shocking sight.
In the end, there was only one sentence.
"Supreme Alliance, we'll be waiting for your return."
The operations manager was a lady after all, she couldn't help but cry.
Feng Yi stood there, dressed in a well-ironed suit. When he turned back, he saw the names of the team members.
One after another, the names were filled, leaving only the assassin's spot.
Feng Yi inhaled deeply. "Contact the committee and report Spade Z's name."
"But what if she can't make it back in time …" The operations manager sniffled.
Feng Yi didn't shift his gaze. "She has to appear on the list at the very least."
"Alright." The operations manager knew how much pressure the team would face if she reported her name. The netizens wouldn't let up on Spade Z's cross-dressing scandal. If they lost, Supreme Alliance would be doomed.
But what could they do? Who hadn't been young and capricious before?
The phone in the club was about to explode with calls.
Many people suspected that it was Feng Yi's methods since he was good at creating hype.
But later on, people realized it wasn't anyone's doing.
Those reposts, those comments, those voices on the official platform.
If you had the heart, please take a look.
What kind of expectations did a true fan have?
If you really liked him, don't do anything he didn't like.
If you really liked someone, stay closer to his competition and away from his private life.
If you really liked this team, you just hoped to take one more look at them, to be able to stay together, even if it was just one more competition.
They knew that in less than a year, these people would gradually retire.
Perhaps many years later, they would become people they didn't even know.
For work, for business, for socializing, they were always in a hurry.
But even if one day, they could still remember their current feelings, that would be enough.
Many people had forgotten something.
Esports wasn't the entertainment industry.
They might have looked at the face and appearance.
But there was a group of people, a group of people who truly loved it, that was how cohesive they were.
In the end, the producer of the video was found out. He was a fan.
That's right, a fan.
It was a real person, one of the four people in the video.
The twisted girls on the internet would probably never understand how much courage Supreme Alliance could bring to some people.
And this courage was best described from a man's perspective.
