"Attention, passengers. Train G128 heading to Beijing is now checking your tickets …"
The female voice echoed in the train station. In the corner of the waiting room sat a group of teenagers. The black and red suitcases in front of them had the words' Young Miracles' on them. There was also a blue and white BMW logo on the front of the suitcases.
Although they were not wearing the team uniform, the appearance of their suitcases was enough to attract a lot of attention.
"Can't we bring our own suitcases?" Mongoose complained in a low voice. "This is no different from wearing the team uniform …"
"Isn't it enough to give you a free suitcase?" Liu Qingsong retorted. "Do you want to go to heaven?"
As he spoke, he bumped Phyllostachys Pubescens with his shoulder.
"Motherf * cker, as long as you can get a free ride, you like it, right?" Xiao Tian could not help but retort.
Guo Hao patted Xiao Tian's head and smoothed his hair. "The investors need to advertise. Sister Li, please help."
"Remember to bring your tickets and ID cards." Manager Guo saw the long queue at the ticket gate and quickly reminded the team members.
Everyone agreed. Lin Yan took out his ID cards from his pants pocket. When he turned around and was about to drag his suitcase, he realized that Da Mei was following behind him, looking at his phone with his head lowered.
"Lin Weixiang, why are you just walking forward?" He reminded him helplessly. "Where's your suitcase?"
Da Mei was stunned for a moment. He looked down at his hands and suddenly realized that he had abandoned his suitcase.
"Oh oh oh oh!"
He made a few goose calls and quickly turned around to look for his suitcase. After a while, he ran back.
The two of them stood side by side in the last row of the queue. Lin Yan saw that Lin Weixiang was staring at his phone screen and asked casually,
"What are you looking at?"
"A highlight video of the Korean server's Greatest King group for a week … One of my moves was intercepted by this video!" Da Mei tried to share his joy with his mid laner.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yan didn't react in time. First, he instinctively uttered words that represented doubt, and then he understood what Lin Weixiang meant.
Using the words of a certain professional player surnamed Bull's Head Li, Lin Weixiang was' noob like a master '. Usually, he would hover between Diamond One and Master. According to the title of the video, Lin Weixiang would not be able to appear on screen.
Most likely, he had mingled with some king level masters and was recorded as well.
"Brother Ran, do you want to see it?" Lin Weixiang handed over a headset.
"No need, no need. I don't watch this stuff." Lin Yan waved his hand and declined. "What Greatest King highlights? I'm getting tired of playing this segment every day."
Unknowingly, he had succeeded in his act.
"Brother Ran, Brother Ran, can we take a picture together?" A clear female voice suddenly came from the side.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Let's talk about it next time …" Lin Yan subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Then, he realized that something was wrong.
Why did this voice sound so familiar?
Looking at the source of the voice, Lin Yan saw Su Cheng standing next to him.
She wore a white cotton short-sleeved shirt and a pair of dark blue sports cropped pants, revealing a slender and straight calf. The corners of her mouth were raised, and even her eyes were curved into crescents.
"Huh?" Lin Yan was very surprised.
"Were you shocked?" Su Cheng pulled on the straps of her backpack with a proud expression.
"Dad asked me to go to Beijing for two weeks during the summer vacation. I also thought that you guys would be going to RNG's home game, so I specially logged into your 12306 account, checked the ticketing information, and booked the same high-speed train."
"How is it? Am I good?"
When Su Hongmin was mentioned, Lin Yan was a little uncomfortable. This could be an instinctive fear brought about by his identity, or it could be some other messy reason.
"You're good … Are you going to watch our game tomorrow?"
He gave a perfunctory compliment and quickly changed the topic.
"Of course, of course!" Su Cheng promised. She grabbed her boyfriend's arm and pressed her whole body against his.
Then, as if she remembered something, she opened her backpack, took out a black baseball cap, and put it on Lin Yan's head.
"What?" Lin Yan was confused, but he didn't resist and let Su Cheng do as she pleased.
Su Cheng took her boyfriend's YM suitcase and whispered, "I'm afraid that you'll be recognized."
"If they recognize me, then so be it." Lin Yan felt that it was a waste of time. "At most, we'll just sign and take a photo together. It's not like I'll lose a piece of meat."
"No!" Su Cheng swung her boyfriend's arm. "We can't be recognized today. I said it!"
"Okay, okay, okay. We'll do as you say, okay?" Lin Yan was helpless.
"But why are you wearing a cap? You're just making it more conspicuous …" Lin Yan didn't understand. A group of teammates were standing in front of them, dragging similar suitcases. What was the point of Su Cheng doing this?
Su Cheng was very dissatisfied with her boyfriend's attitude. "Don't be so negative!"
She rolled her eyes and thought of an idea. She leaned on Lin Ran's shoulder and whispered, "How about this? If no one sees through your disguise until we reach Beijing, you can exchange it for a reward the next time you're on vacation."
This time, Lin Yan was finally interested. "You mean what you say?"
"Of course. When have I ever gone back on my words?" Su Cheng stuck out her flat chest.
He obeyed her every word.
"Put on the cap and push the brim down." Su Cheng stood on her tiptoes and patted her boyfriend's cap.
Before she finished speaking, a young passenger also waiting for the bus noticed the YM team members.
It couldn't be helped. Even if this group of people didn't drag their suitcases, they were still unique standing outside.
Jin Gong had a pot lid on his head, and he was speaking Korean with Red Rice. Jack's shoes were gaudy, and he looked like he could compete with Ning Wang. Most importantly, his head was big, and he could be found in the crowd at a glance.
Not to mention, he had dyed his hair blue. The length of his bangs was similar to Liu Qingsong's from more than ten years ago.
When this group of people was placed together, it could basically trigger a 100% turn of heads.
"Young Master Tear!"
Liu Qingsong was frightened by this shout. He turned his head and wanted to run, but it was his turn to check his ticket. If he left the line, he would have to start all over again.
He had no choice but to be taken for a group photo. He had to keep a straight face the whole time.
The other team members couldn't escape this tragic fate. Fans were never picky when it came to this kind of thing. Anyway, they could get a free ride. Being able to take one more group photo was already a gain.
"Why don't we take a plane to Beijing?" A fan stared at the manager and asked a logistical question.
"The capital's airport is too far from RNG's stadium. It's more than 40 kilometers. Beijing South Station is closer," Guo Hao answered seriously. "The high-speed rail isn't much slower than the plane, and the starting and ending stations are both in the city. Including this part of the time, it's actually about the same."
He was afraid that if he didn't answer properly, it would cause the fans to be dissatisfied. If that happened, there might be comments like [Shocking!
YM Actually Squeezed Players Out of Their Money by Letting Them Take Train to Compete]
Jack, who was standing next to them, was suffering. He was the most popular player in the team other than Lin Yan. He was surrounded by several people, and the chatter made his ears hurt.
"Where's Brother Ran?" Suddenly, an onlooker remembered that YM seemed to be missing a player.
Good guy!
Shiba Inu immediately became excited. He couldn't wait to divert the trouble and let the fans find their mid laner. "Brother Ran, he's right behind me …"
Everyone turned around happily.
Where was Lin Yan?
The main character had already taken advantage of the distraction to line up and pass through the gate.
"You're amazing, Cheng Zi!" Lin Yan hugged his girlfriend's waist as they rode the escalator. This time, his praise was sincere.
He didn't think this trick would actually work!
After covering his face with the brim of his hat, the YM fans didn't pay attention to Lin Yan at all.
There was no trace of him being related to YM. Just by looking at his back, they could tell that he was tall and straight. He looked ordinary.
Su Cheng still wanted to take credit, but someone behind her said, "Wow … Is this YM's suitcase?"
Lin Yan's back muscles tightened. Before he could react, he heard his girlfriend's smooth answer.
"Yes!
I bought it on Taobao. It includes shipping! "
"Do you want the link?"
The girl who spoke didn't suspect anything. After getting permission, she took out her phone and took two pictures of the suitcase.
Lin Yan stayed on the side like he was invisible the whole time.
After getting on the bus, he calmed down and followed the instructions on the ticket to the designated carriage.
It was a five-hour ride. In order to make the players as comfortable as possible, Guo Hao booked all of them first class seats.
Lin Yan and Jack sat next to each other. Su Cheng sat on the other side of the aisle.
The Shiba Inu waited until the ticket gate was about to close before he dragged his tired body into the carriage.
After not seeing Lin Yan, the fans thought that he was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain and took the opportunity to escape. They almost ate him alive.
Fortunately, everyone still maintained their last bit of rationality. They knew that the player had to drive to the competition. With Manager Guo's interference, the Shiba Inu managed to escape.
Jack walked forward, panting. As soon as he found Lin Yan, he saw his mid laner and Su Cheng flirting. They were almost hugging each other.
"F * ck!" The Shiba Inu couldn't help it. "You two are really dogs!"
…
At four o 'clock the next afternoon, Lin Yan saw RNG's home stadium for the first time.
The stadium was located on Fuxing Road in Haidian District. It was surrounded by many universities and bustling business districts. It was a good place to live. The whole building was themed with RNG's black and gold logo. It looked a bit rich.
Under the guidance of the staff, he walked into the stadium with his teammates.
Elements of the home club could be seen everywhere. The players' humanoid signs were erected on both sides of the corridor. There were also photos of RNG's various awards since its establishment hanging on the wall.
Lin Yan realized that even the lighting was black and gold. RNG didn't give up any place to show the club's culture.
"Look at them, look at them!" Jack said to Guo Hao as soon as he entered the lounge and closed the door. "This is what it means to be a home stadium!"
The other players nodded.
This was much better than the other home stadiums they had been to!
"It's too troublesome. Building this thing is purely a waste of money." Guo Hao didn't think it was a good idea. "How much is the annual rent for this stadium?
Even if the management gives us a discount, we won't be able to make it back with just tickets, peripherals, and other income. We'll have to pay a lot. "
"Although we spend money to buy traffic, this home stadium is too much of a loss. It's better to save the money and buy a star player."
He had his own understanding.
While they were waiting for the peripherals to be tested, someone sent over a dozen cups of milk tea.
"We didn't order it." Lin Yan was puzzled. He looked around and found that the other members of the competition department were also confused.
"This is a gift from our club." The staff smiled. "Every team that comes to our home stadium has one."
"Wow, the benefits are good!" Jack didn't hold back. He opened the straw and took a sip. "How much is this cup of milk tea?"
"… 50."
Lin Yan returned to his seat with a cup of strawberry fruit tea.
It was already six o 'clock in the evening when the makeup and meeting were all done.
Since they weren't at Shanghai Zhengda Square, they didn't have to wait until the end of the previous game to go on stage. The game could officially start at seven o 'clock.
The YM players, who had nothing to do, sat in the lounge and watched the five o 'clock game on TV.
IG versus EDG.
Probably because they didn't have the seven-point buff, the National Film Academy was struggling. The midlaner could barely withstand the high pressure from the Scout, but the top two positions were completely destroyed.
The Sh took whatever he wanted from EDG and took out the crocodile to kill everyone.
In the middle of the game, EDG wanted to take over the team and try to recover some of their disadvantages, but a prehistoric crocodile blocked the backline of the National Film Academy.
Iboy's Clockwork Spirit used all four skills. Together with the damage from the Scout Knife Girl, they barely managed to beat The Sh's bloody hand.
"Crocodile flash in, red rage W [Grim Hunt] bite the clockwork!"
In the next moment, death roll!
The prehistoric crocodile went on a rampage in the crowd.
The last red rage Q [Tyrant's Fury] killed iboy directly!
The fishman fainted.
He was completely suppressed by the crocodile in this team battle and gave all his skills to The Sh. In the end, this person finished him off with just one set of attacks?
Was there any justice?
EDG naturally had no way to fight back when the two C's were taken care of by The Sh alone. They fought and retreated, and in the end, only Haro survived to inherit his father's will.
"EDG is really not doing well this year," Liu Qingsong said as he sipped on his fruit tea. "I feel like I can't see the end of it."
There was no one else in the lounge now. The official cameraman had just finished taking the materials and was talking to his own people without restraint.
"I think so too. They're focusing on the top half now. EDG chose Jayce for the top laner, but they didn't help. They just focused on the middle and bottom lane …" Lin Yan hit the nail on the head. "Is it their corporate culture to leave the top lane alone?"
He saw that Ray was about to shut up under the camera.
Although Lin Yan also felt that there was a big gap in strength between the two top laners, if you didn't plan to help the top laner, why did you choose Jayce for him?
If you had thought about it earlier, wouldn't it be better to let the top laner choose Cheyenne and Aoun?
If it really didn't work, there was still the Big Tree!
They gave Jayce to others and then left the top laner alone. They watched as Ray was continuously overrun by The Sh and King Ning. What were they thinking?
Lin Yan felt that there was something wrong with EDG's thinking.
The coaching staff probably wanted to play the top half. For this reason, they even leaned towards Ray in the BP segment and gave him a hero like Jayce, who had a strong offensive suppression ability.
However, when it came to the game, the players might not be able to implement the tactics of the coaching staff.
Especially when the game was at a disadvantage, the players would instinctively use the tactics they were most familiar with and most confident in.
For EDG, it was to help the middle and bottom lane.
In the end, the feeling presented to the audience was that it was cut off.
The BP thinking and tactical execution ran counter to each other. Not only was it ineffective, but it was also greatly reduced.
IG held a big advantage and did not waste time with EDG. They directly took Dragon and flattened the opponent's base in the middle lane.
The two games added together, including the BP and intermission, were less than an hour and a half.
The game in Shanghai was over. Lin Yan and his teammates still had to squat in the lounge for ten minutes.
They only received the notification that Teng Jing's employees were going on stage at 6: 40 pm.
After passing through the security check and arriving at the exit of the passage that was separated from the stage by a wall, Lin Yan heard the applause and cheers from the live audience. This restless sound kept hitting his eardrums!
