"Why do you like Legend?"
Shi Yao was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the person who had spoken this time wasn't Juice or Expert but Mister Numbers.
It was rare for Mister Numbers to have a voice chat, and this was one of the few times he had spoken to her. However, just like the first time, Shi Yao was mesmerized by his pleasant voice for a moment before she hurriedly snapped out of her reverie and replied to 's question, "The first time I noticed Legend was because he was a little different from the other professional players. He didn't show his face, livestream, participate in commercial performances, or interact actively with fans …
"Of course, that was only because I noticed him and knew that he was a professional player. To be honest, I couldn't even remember the letters of his class name, Legend.
"Besides, I don't play games, so I know very little about them. That's why I didn't know that he was very strong back then. I only noticed him for a moment before lowering my head to eat my mala hotpot …"
Shi Yao paused for a moment before explaining, "… I was still in high school back then, and I was eating mala hotpot with my classmates across the street. The boss of the mala hotpot was watching the competition.
"The next time I came to know about Legend was by chance. Back then, I was bored riding the bus home, so I took out my phone and browsed through Weibo. I saw that he was on the trending searches, and there was an interview with him. Unlike other professional players, it wasn't a video interview but a transcript of Legend's words.
"That was three years ago, but there was a paragraph in the interview that I remember very clearly.
"Adonis said that he wasn't the strongest newcomer, nor was he a dark horse in esports. He was someone who purely loved to play games.
"He said that in the esports circle, every single professional player is worthy of respect because they have given up on the path that ordinary people take to choose the path that is crueler than any other path. Many people think that the esports circle is all about the stage, the lights, the glory, the cheers, the shouts, and the flattery. But that's not the case. This circle is filled with tears, blood, dreams, and sweat. Every single professional player gives it their all, but the path to the championship is a narrow one. Results speak louder than words. When you have results, everyone says that you're invincible, but when you don't, no one will acknowledge your talent. Everyone only remembers the champion, and no one knows how the second place got off the stage.
"Adonis also said that he doesn't expect the esports industry to be accepted by the public, but he hopes that there won't be any prejudice against him. After all, everyone in the industry is gambling with their youth.
"At the very end of the interview, Adonis said something that touched me deeply …" Shi Yao paused for a moment before continuing, "… There are no regrets in the youth of esports, and they are motivated to move forward and bring glory to the country.
"It was that interview that made me start paying attention to my Adonis. I looked through all of his matches, and how should I put it … I saw passion in him. He entered the esports circle because of his passion.
"Of course, it's not that Adonis doesn't love money. I don't think there's anyone in the world who doesn't love money, and I love it very much as well. After all, only with money can we have a lot of delicious food.
"But what I saw in Adonis wasn't a desire for fame and fortune but a passion for gaming. I think that's a rare trait, so I unhesitatingly became his fan.
