On the morning of December 2nd, Pudong International Airport was bustling with people and cars.
Lin Yan got out of the car and went to the trunk to get his luggage. Su Cheng had a class in the morning, so he rushed over alone to meet up with his all-star teammates. Then, they took a plane to Los Angeles.
After waiting in the departure lounge for a while, he took out his phone and received the book list Su Cheng sent him.
As he was studying an English word that he didn't understand, someone patted him on the shoulder.
Lin Yan turned around.
Shi Senming and Mongoose, the S6YM duo, were standing behind him with their luggage.
"You didn't come with Ouze?" Lin Yan greeted his old teammates and found it strange that he didn't see Ouze.
"He bumped into 957. They're probably still chatting outside." Shi Senming giggled.
Lin Yan understood. Ever since he rejected RNG's transfer proposal, they had given up on the idea of going top lane.
Ouze had always wanted top laners like 957 and Jin Gong. Their current abilities were enough to crush Randi, and they could tank and fight. They were both top laners.
These top laners didn't need the team to provide them with too many resources. They could stabilize the lane by themselves and play a strong role in team battles.
In short, they were very suitable for RNG.
Wootz had always wanted to rope them in. Fortunately, Jin Gong was Korean. The RNG management, who had changed their taste over the years, would not contact him.
And 957, which looked very mature and steady, became their main target.
RNG tried to ask WE for a transfer, but the Red and White Army had spent a lot of effort to cultivate a top laner. How could they let him go?
Money was useless. Although WE was known as the Grandet of eSports, they wouldn't sell their top laner for a transfer fee.
With the contract in hand, WE rejected RNG without even thinking. Ouze was troubled. The club's plan to strengthen the team had to come to an end.
He decided to build a good relationship with 957 and see how well the two of them worked together in the All-Star Tournament. He would treat it as an unknown trial.
If the results were good, RNG could wait for 957's contract to expire next year before trying again.
The two of them walked into the departure lounge with their arms around each other's shoulders. When Ouze saw Lin Yan, his expression was still a little unnatural, and the smile on his face also faded a little.
This time, in the All-Star voting, YM took the top votes for the top, mid, mid, and ADC positions. The only remaining support position, the incumbent Liu Qingsong, lost to the previous champion support Shi Senming by 0.3%.
Firstly, it was because of his influence as the champion of the competition zone. Secondly, his personality was more likable than Liu Qingsong's. The silly Shi Senming who only knew how to giggle was indeed quite popular.
The top five vote-getters were S6YM's champion lineup. However, due to the rule that 'each team could only have two players participating in the competition', in the end, only Lin Ran and Turtle Head, who had the highest number of votes, made it to All Stars.
Even though the unlucky Jack won 4.396% of the votes, he could only stay in YM's base and find joy in his misery, saying that he wanted to stream his teammates' All-Stars to waste time.
Ouze could be considered to have picked up a loophole to participate in All-Stars. When he saw Lin Yan, his expression was naturally a little awkward, but it was not just because of the All-Star spot.
There was also the matter of the 'Best ADC of the Year' award.
On the night of the award ceremony, RNG's Weibo was flooded with comments — the operations team posted a picture of Ouze receiving the award on stage. Jack's fans were very unhappy and felt that the award should be given to them.
S7 had a grand slam in all the official competitions, so why couldn't they get the honor?
Last year's Best ADC, Mr. Dai, had average results in the international competition, but he had truly crushed all the bottom lane compositions in LPL. After receiving the award, he had returned to Korea. This Best ADC award was a farewell gift to Mr. Dai, who had contributed greatly to winning the MSI Championship and had served EDG for two years.
Jack's fans thought about it. Ouze's S8 wasn't going to retire?
His stats weren't that impressive either.
They had a heated argument with Ouze's fans under RNG's Weibo celebrating the award.
At first, both sides were still very rational about the data and the battle records.
But as they spoke, more and more people appeared. No one knew who started the personal attacks first, but it ignited a barrel of gunpowder.
The battle between the two sides became more and more intense.
But in the end, it was Ouze's fans who lost.
The popularity of two consecutive championships was too ridiculous, and Jack did not have as much negative news as Ouze, causing the number of fans to continue to swell. In addition, the fans of the other YM members were still fanning the flames, and Piggy, who was everywhere other than his own Weibo, also came over to add fuel to the fire.
The battle strength of the two sides was not on the same level at all. After one night, the entire comment section was turned upside down.
Even though RNG's operations team was very fast, the players who had nothing to do during the off-season had already eaten up all the melons.
If the relationship between the two players was better, this kind of fan catfight could be laughed off, or even used as a joke in private to tease each other.
But the crux of the problem was that he was not close to YM's Lin Yan and Phyllostachys Pubescens.
They were not players of the same generation, and they did not have any business dealings. They had never met before, so how could they be familiar with each other?
Lin Yan saw his awkwardness and reached out his hand to show his friendliness.
After all, he had given up half a month's vacation with Su Cheng and traveled tens of thousands of kilometers to Los Angeles. Since he was already there, his final goal had to be the championship.
He also did not want this small boat that had been put together at the last minute to have a rift in their hearts because of unnecessary matters, which would affect their relationship.
Ouze had just put his hand on it, but before he could use any strength, he heard someone call out to them.
"Is everyone here?" White Crescent was full of smiles. Behind him was the original assistant analyst, Doom.
He was the coach of this LPL all-star team.
This year's all-star game in Los Angeles was very interesting. The five players voted according to the majority rule to choose the coach, but they could not choose their own club's coaching staff.
Previously, Lin Yan and Xiao Tian had voted for Red Rice. They wanted to meet their future coach before the start of the new season to understand his coaching style and what he was good at.
They had two votes, which meant that with one more vote, Red Rice would become the coach of the LPL all-star team.
But the world was funny like that. Ouze, Shi Senming, and 957 all voted for White Crescent.
The reason was simple. Their team also lacked a coach.
There was no need to say much about WE. Red Rice's old team, so if their coach left, they would naturally need to find a replacement.
And RNG's Firefox also planned to leave. Ever since Lin Yan and Galio were released, the management had been dissatisfied with him.
Even if it was because of various reasons that Galio was released, and the blame could not be placed entirely on Firefox's head, these professional managers did not care so much.
Who told you to have a criminal record?
S5 released Ironman, and now you're releasing Galio?
Moreover, it did not matter if the management could tolerate it or not. To them, the fans were the key to supporting the Chinese team.
And the fans of the Chinese team started to flood the official Weibo with requests for a new coach. They were just short of raising funds for the club.
Galio's influence on RNG was extremely bad. In order to stabilize the fans, RNG had already put the matter of changing coaches on the agenda.
But the problem was that the international competition was approaching after Summer Finals. Changing coaches at the last minute would definitely shake the team's morale.
How could they change?
There was no way to change!
Think about it. The last S5 seeded player who was fired right before the international competition, Godfather, hung himself from the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Forget it!
RNG's management could only let Firefox lead the team through the international competition.
The first half of the competition went smoothly. Other than listening to his teammates' requests and not having much courage, Firefox did not have many major problems.
All the way to the semifinals and the three stars, there were no major problems.
Even though it was RNG's second trip to the international competition, reaching the top four could be considered a success. They had achieved the club's goal for the season.
But when the management saw the finals of the Bird's Nest, they were instantly thrown into chaos.
They sat in front of the computer and watched Lin Yan crazily order food and ravage the three stars. An absurd thought popped up in their minds. Wouldn't it be fine if they banned Grasshopper and Galio in the semifinals?
This Crown's level was already so ridiculous. Could it hold up against the team?
The management felt that losing in the semifinals was Firefox's problem.
Being swept could be said to be lacking in all aspects. They could not compete in terms of raw strength.
But this was a 2: 3. They could not hold up!
If they banned Grasshopper and Galio and let the team order food, they would be able to join YM in the Bird's Nest as long as they succeeded in one of the best-of-five matches!
Even though RNG's management knew that it would be difficult to win against YM in the finals, the Chinese team was invincible in the Bird's Nest.
If they fanned the flames a little, there would naturally be a very small number of viewers with brain problems who would come out to disgust them. YM, you are not the Chinese team. Why can't you give the championship to RNG?
No matter what the outcome was, RNG's traffic would definitely be full.
In the hearts of the management of God of Drainage, Firefox's BP had ruined their drainage plan.
This made RNG even more determined to replace Firefox in the new season.
But even if they did not ban Grasshopper and Galio, Firefox had a reason to say so. Who was White Crescent?
YM's champion team. Who are you to ask me to bring them?
YM's top laner, Jin Gong, could squeeze out two bans for the mid lane. Could RNG do it?
Jesse, Kenan, and Nar were the three daddy level heroes, and you only knew half of them. I used bans to block the mid lane heroes, and the top laner would self-destruct all the way in 10 minutes, right?
But Firefox could not understand this group of people. He was originally proud and arrogant, so he did not bother to say anything. When the contract ended, he packed his luggage and returned to Taiwan.
Now, RNG naturally targeted White Crescent. A domestic coach, and a champion coach at that. How could he not be stubborn?
In the coaching industry, there was no such thing as a household register. A domestic coach was relatively cheaper. Even though BSYY had won the world championship, the price was still within RNG's acceptable range.
This time, the All-Star Coach Selection became a three-way game. In the end, WE and RNG defeated YM's Nakano 3-2.
At this time, Fist China's manager, Winston, also ran over and brought them to check-in.
The flight from Shanghai to Los Angeles was over ten thousand kilometers, and the total time was 20 hours. Lin Yan took out his tablet and began watching videos and the ranking data.
Fist S8's pre-season rune system had been greatly modified. Many players had not figured it out yet, and Lin Yan had to slowly get used to it.
The old runes and talents had completely left the stage and were replaced by the new rune recasting system.
Now, there would be no three rows of attributes for the summoner to choose from. Instead, there would be fixed combinations through the rune paths.
The rune tree was divided into a main branch and a secondary branch. There were Resolute, Dominator, Precision, Witchcraft, and Enlightenment branches. The five branches could be freely chosen, and two of them could be paired together. Different branches would receive different bonuses.
Resolute (Undying Grasp, Aftershock, Guardian) was the main branch. Paired with any secondary branch, it would receive 130 HP.
Dominator (Electrocution, Predator, Dark Harvest) was the main branch. It would provide 11 ATK or 18 MP.
Witchcraft (Alley, Arcane Comet, Phase Rush) was the main branch. It would provide 15 ATK or 25 MP.
Precision (Assault, Fatal Rhythm, Swift Steps) was the main branch. It would increase attack speed by 18%.
The last one that was more special was the Enlightenment Type (Unsealing Secret Book, Glacier Amplification, and Theft Omen). As the main type, it would provide 20% of the duration of potions and mixtures. Then, depending on the type of secondary type, there would be additional numerical bonuses.
The secondary branch, Resolute, would provide 145 HP. The secondary branch, Dominator Witchcraft, would provide 16 ATK or 27 MP. The secondary branch, Precision, would provide 20% attack speed.
Lin Yan noticed that the Enlightenment rune provided a higher initial bonus. It was probably because the combat power provided by the [Enlightenment] rune was too weak. If the initial bonus was not compensated, it would lead to an imbalance in the early stages.
In short, the main system was green, which symbolized strength, and provided HP (front row of tanks). Blue Witchcraft and Red Dominator systems provided Attack Power and Magic Power (Mages and Warriors). Yellow Precision systems provided Attack Speed (suitable for ADCs). As for Enlightenment itself, it only had the effect of increasing the duration of a potion. The main attributes came from the four different choices of the secondary system.
When he arrived in Los Angeles, it was already December 3rd.
Under the influence of the Mediterranean climate, the temperature in Los Angeles was still as high as 20 degrees Celsius during the day. The warm and gentle breeze fluttered everyone's clothes.
"Wow, it's really warm," Ouze was still wearing a fleece sweater. As the warm breeze blew, he quickly wiped the sweat on his forehead.
He was two times fatter than Shiba Inu, and the temperature was a little hot. The familiar Guan Yu was back.
The honest 957 also couldn't help but sweat all over his body. He quickly took off his coat.
Lin Yan, Mongoose, and Shi Senming all wore short-sleeved team uniforms when they got off the plane. They let their forearms bathe in the bright sunshine of Los Angeles.
The three of them were very proud.
"Hahaha, luckily we were prepared …" Seeing the sorry state 957 and Ouze were in, Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh. "The last time I came to Los Angeles in November, it was also very hot."
957 and Ouze took a full second to think before they realized that Lin Yan was talking about them playing in the S6 Global Finals at the Staples Center in Los Angeles last November.
At that time, one of them was in California, and the other stopped in the semifinals. Neither of them won the tickets to the finals in Los Angeles, so they couldn't continue the conversation.
How infuriating, they couldn't refute it!
Xiao Tian narrowed his eyes as he looked at the sun, and his familiar sarcastic tone started again. "Brother Ran, quickly tell everyone the story of S6 MVP."
"That bowl, that bowl first swept the three stars, fought five rounds, then won ROX. Finally, it was the commanding flag that decided the game!"
Lin Yan waved his hand, full of vigor. "Do you know the value of S6?"
Shi Senming giggled. After a year, they were back in Los Angeles. The team YM of S6 seemed to have stayed in Los Angeles forever.
"Let's stop chatting. We have to rush to the hotel to check in." Winston was wearing a black T-shirt with the Fist logo printed on it as he led them out.
Winston was very familiar with this place. After all, it was the headquarters of Fist. Every year, he would go back and forth between Shanghai and Los Angeles several times.
The eSports celebrities wearing different team uniforms followed behind him, and it was too eye-catching. Many passersby had already recognized Lin Yan and wanted to take photos with him as a souvenir.
At first, there were only two young men who had been cuckolded by Timo, but more and more people came. They surrounded Lin Ran and attracted many tourists of other ages.
This was Los Angeles, where Hollywood was. When they saw Lin Yan's face, they thought that he was some movie star from the East.
He was ridiculously handsome.
The Caucasian girl, whose physique could easily crush Xiao Tian, waved her strong arms and accidentally ran over Phyllostachys Pubescens.
She grabbed Lin Yan's arm and asked her friends in the same industry to take a photo with her.
"I think I've seen this brother somewhere before!" The Caucasian girl suddenly said to Lin Yan with her big eyes.
Naturally, this wasn't her original sentence, but English was broad and profound, so this was what it meant when translated.
The strong smell of perfume hit him in the face, and Lin Yan felt like he was going to suffocate.
Ican'tBreathe！
At this time, Ouze's usefulness finally showed. He lived up to his name as the dorm boxing champion, and he pulled Lin Yan out in a few moves.
Lin Yan looked at Ouze with a grateful gaze.
He usually chased after you to kill you, but in the end, he had to rely on you to save him!
He had always been grateful and decided to feed Ouze two more lives during the All-Star Match.
"Ran, did you not consider coming to LCS. NA?"
The boy wearing the green hat tried his best to speak slowly and raise his voice so that Lin Yan could hear him clearly.
"Team Liquid is very rich. We need you!"
Lin Yan waved his hand and didn't give a clear answer. He dragged his suitcase and followed behind his teammates as they left the airport.
Riot specially sent a bus to pick them up. It brought the LPL players and coaches to Santa Monica, where Fist's headquarters was located.
The distance was less than ten kilometers, but when the bus arrived at Cargate Hotel, it was already dusk. The sound of waves crashing against the beach in the distance could be heard clearly. The streets were far less crowded than in Shanghai, and there was a sense of leisure and contentment.
To the south was the sea, and to the north was Fist's headquarters. The environment and location were quite good.
"Breakfast is provided every day, and the hotel has a buffet for the other two meals. You can just take the coupons to the restaurant …" Winston returned their passports. "If you're not used to the food, there are ramen restaurants and Walmart nearby."
"If you want to eat Chinese food, you can tell me in advance," Winston said before he left. "I have the numbers of a few Chinese restaurants. You can just go and get your food after ordering."
"You guys rest early today. My colleagues will only finish building the training room tomorrow," Winston said before he left.
As usual, Lin Yan and Xiao Tian, the pair of midfielders, stayed in the same room. The two of them took out their clothes from their suitcases.
"Hurry up and wash up first. I'll use them later."
Lin Yan prepared the toiletries and clothes for Phyllostachys Pubescens, then pushed the messy Mongoose into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Lin Yan finally washed off the strong and pungent smell of perfume on his body. He sat on the bed and blow-dried his short hair.
The hairdryer let out a low buzzing sound, triggering the sleepiness hidden in Lin Yan's body. After the long flight, he fell asleep right away.
When he woke up the next day, it was already noon. Lin Yan first pulled Mongoose up and went downstairs to the restaurant to fill up his stomach.
The LCK team had probably landed at night and hadn't adjusted to the time difference yet. The Xuanming Elders were still sleepily eating tacos.
The LMS team had probably arrived early, and Karsa was still chatting happily with Edisi Bebe, who had made meritorious contributions in their division.
This was the only remaining Emperor bloodline on Assassin Planet S2, the owner of the "Giggling King Izawa" skin.
Of course, for a portion of the audience, the scene that Bebe left the deepest impression on them was when he was crouched in the grass by Ouze Lu Xian in the S4 World Championship and sent him back to the fountain with eight shots in a second.
As soon as Karsa saw Lin Yan enter the restaurant, his eyes lit up, revealing his trademark Karsa stare.
Then, he directly rushed over.
"It's him again, Karsa!"
Xiao Tian muttered. This was the jungler in his family who had the best relationship with the outside world. He had to be vigilant.
Lin Yan had been in intermittent contact with Karsa during this time, so he simply went straight to the point and asked, "Have you found a team?"
"Yes … I went to TOP as you said. The trial results were good, but I don't really want to go." Karsa went to the side and brought over a glass of ice water.
"Why?" Lin Yan was stuffing beef into his plate when he heard Karsa's words and froze for a second.
Mongoose's movements were synchronized. He also paused in his action of picking up the corn cake. The eyes hidden under his glasses flashed coldly, looking very chuunibyou.
He was on full alert.
"RNG wanted me to come and promised to rotate with the Saucepan." Karsa had a slight smile on his face. "Because … the Hunger Strike Style has been eliminated."
Lin Yan and Mongoose showed an expression of sudden realization.
On November 14th, version 7.22 was updated. The fist slashed the first slash of the S7 World Championship's strong faction and hero.
The jungle catch-up mechanism changed from the original "30 EXP for every wild monster you fall behind" to "50 EXP for every large and epic wild monster you fall behind".
The slash directly hit the Saucepan's aorta.
Originally, there were a total of 10 Stone Beetles. When you fell behind by one level, you would get an extra 300 EXP.
But now?
50 EXP for each group. The difference in EXP for this group of wild monsters was as high as 250 EXP!
How were they going to play the Hunger Strike Style?
RNG obviously felt that something was wrong. Fortunately, this version update was before the transfer period, so they had enough time to search for new junglers in the free market.
Karsa was their target.
Mongoose was secretly happy. "RNG is good. With Ouze, won't you win easily?"
"But I don't want to go to RNG either." Karsa's eyes were shining. "I want to come to YM. Do you still need a substitute?"
F * ck you!
Phyllostachys Pubescens heard RNG's interest in Karsa, who was smiling just now, and his heart was filled with horror.
In front of Bull's Head, right?
"Ah?" Lin Yan didn't expect Karsa to have such thoughts. "You really want to come?"
"I just want to win." Karsa paused again. "Of course, it's better to have money."
He was also considered an old esports player. He left the division halfway through his career just to chase his dream and make money.
He was ecstatic that his fists weakened the EXP catch-up mechanism in the wild. The Hunger Strike Style led by Saucepan countered his radar-like junglers who relied on their experience and sense of smell to determine the opponent's position.
The Hunger Strike Style was unreasonable. It directly pounced on your face, but you couldn't do anything about it. It used an extremely violent attitude to crush the experienced jungler's playstyle.
This year, Karsa felt that he had a good chance.
Even the team selection during the transfer period slowed down.
I'm not in a hurry!
With an RNG contract in his hand, Karsa didn't have to worry about not having a team.
"Money … might not be enough." Lin Yan took out his phone. "You have WeChat, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Karsa had been in frequent contact with the clubs in the LPL division these days. This kind of chat tool was naturally necessary.
"I'll send the manager's WeChat to you. You two can chat."
Lin Yan didn't want to continue getting involved in transfers, especially when it involved the rotation of players. He would try his best not to get involved if he could.
"Do you guys have time today?" Karsa added them as friends, then looked up and asked, "We can arrange for a mock competition."
"It's going to be tough in the afternoon. Mongoose and I have to make a trip to Fist." Lin Yan looked at Karsa's confused gaze and couldn't help but sigh inwardly at this group of people's ignorance. "To talk about the champion's skin."
Earlier, they had been prepared to talk to the designers in Fist China about the heroes and skins, but they hadn't expected that the design team led by Chun Li would fly back to the headquarters at the end of the year.
There was no choice. Lin Yan and Mongoose, the two players participating in the All Stars, could go directly to Fist's headquarters in Los Angeles. The remaining YM members could only stay in the base and communicate with Fist remotely through video calls.
"Ah …" Karsa felt a sense of longing in his heart again. He took a sip of ice water to suppress his emotions.
…
Winston brought them into Fist's office building. It was extremely spacious, many times bigger than the studio in Shanghai. After all, Fist was worthy of being called rich and imposing.
Lin Yan was greeted by the huge statues of Annie and Tibbs. The huge bear was extremely ferocious and looked like it could crush Briar and Briar to death with one hand. It might even kill King Gigi.
"We have a total of seven similar statues. Their positions change every week and are distributed to various corners of the office. It can be considered as an Easter egg to increase the freshness of the employees' work."
Winston acted as a tour guide. Before returning to Fist China's Shanghai office, he had worked here for a few years and was quite familiar with the place.
"The photos hanging on the wall are more historical … Oh right, there's also a photo of you guys."
Following Winston's finger, Lin Yan and Xiao Tian saw their own photos hanging on the wall.
This was Fist's official wall of honor.
The S1 Internet Cafe Tournament champion FNC, followed by TPA, SKT, SSW … All the official tournament champions' photos were kept here.
Lin Yan had three.
S6, S7 MSI, and S7 World Championship. He was on equal footing with Li Xianghe.
"Our office is completely open to the public. You can also bring a few people to the battle zone to play 5v5."
"Then you won't obediently update, right?" Mongoose suddenly asked.
Winston laughed twice and didn't reply.
"Chun Li, Chun Li!" He saw a man passing by with a stack of documents and hurriedly called out.
The man who used his hairline to show his strength turned around. Lin Yan and his eyes met, sparks flying.
This man didn't look like a good person!
"Hello." Chun Li calmly reached out her right hand. Lin Yan looked at it carefully.
The index finger on her right hand was incomplete.
However, his expression remained the same as usual as he reached out his hand to shake hers.
Xiao Tian also noticed this detail, but he didn't say much.
"This is Chun Li, the head designer of Fist. She's also the head of operations for Fist China," Winston introduced. "These are two world champions. I don't need to say much about them, right?"
Chun Li nodded. "Of course, we're old friends."
Winston displayed his chatterbox nature. He brought the few of them to the designers' office, chattering non-stop on the way.
"Chun Li was ranked fourth in the US server back then. He had the highest score here. He played custom solo matches every day to torture the boss. If he had played professionally back then, he might have even become a world champion!"
"Impressive."
Lin Yan looked at him in a new light. Missing an index finger on his right hand would definitely affect the mouse's movement. How could he be ranked fourth in the US server?
"This is also a model for our company's cross-industry employment. He was studying EE at Shanghai Jiaotong University back then. I didn't expect him to start off as a programmer …"
Lin Yan felt even more respect for him. Shanghai Jiaotong University's electrical engineering department was originally called the Electrical Engineering Department. Famous alumni could only be said to have a thunderous reputation.
Winston sent the two of them to the designers' office and then left. He still had to report to the CEO and was very busy.
"I'm in charge of the patch balancing, not the champion's skin. I'll find a person in charge for you guys and then get a few artists and artists. You guys can go to the innermost meeting room to talk." Chun Li was very charismatic and looked like a boss.
The group of people sat in the meeting room. Someone poured a glass of ice water for Lin Yan and Mongoose.
"Any ideas on the champion's skin?"
The designer turned on his computer and was prepared to record the ideas of the contestants. Those that were too ridiculous would not be accepted. The rest could be discussed.
"I just want … a little yellow duck." Lin Yan communicated with him simply in English.
"Speak Chinese. I'll help you translate."
A young man with a well-proportioned body and a slight Beijing accent spoke up. "My name is Lacus. You can call me Rexey."
"Little yellow duck?" The bearded designer frowned. "Cocoa duck?"
"This won't do. The copyright of Pokémon is too expensive …"
Lin Yan could understand English, but it was a little difficult for him to express it. "It's not a cocoa duck. It's just an ordinary little yellow duck."
"It's like this!" Lin Yan brought up a photo on his phone and showed it to the designer.
The bearded man's expression instantly brightened. "That's good, that's good."
He couldn't understand why they wanted to use a little yellow duck, but he didn't ask much. They probably had some strange fetish.
…
When they finished talking about their ideas on the skin, it was already close to the end of work.
Winston walked over, looking exhausted.
"You guys are done talking …" Seeing the two of them nod, he continued, "There are shopping malls in the office building. You guys didn't make a wasted trip. Pick something as a souvenir."
The shopping malls took up a corner of the office building, but there were quite a lot of goods inside.
"There are many things that can't be found in the country. For example, this magic staff of Lulu's …"
Winston helped them pick out the items.
Lin Yan saw the familiar green Teemo hat but didn't dare to wear it.
In the end, he chose a magic puppet shaped key ring. It was more practical.
"Look at me, look at me!"
Mongoose's shout rang out from behind him.
Lin Yan got a shock when he turned around.
"What's this?"
"A helmet!"
Mongoose shrank into the huge glass helmet. Phyllostachys Pubescens seemed to have dived into a fish tank. His voice was blocked out, sounding muffled.
"Ah … Astronaut Deep Sea Titan Notilus's skin prop. We can't make a real spacesuit, so we can only use a helmet as a substitute." Winston smiled.
"I'll take this one. It's so fun!"
Mongoose took off the helmet and put it back on, sticking his head out repeatedly like a turtle. "I don't have to worry about my head exploding when I go out … Winston, your helmet is sturdy, right?"
"We used the best materials. Of course, it's sturdy," Winston said in all seriousness.
Lin Yan and Xiao Tian, who had taken the souvenirs, hurried back to the hotel.
The construction of the training room had been completed. In the 957 room, Shi Senming and Ouze were already practicing. The two of them didn't dare to waste any more time. Increasing the amount of practice to recover their condition was the most important thing.
December 8th. The All-Stars competition officially started!
