Germany, Berlin, Unter den Linden.

The neon lights are flashing, the traffic is busy, the moon is bright in the sky, and the stars are dotted.

On a wooden bench with peeling paint on the roadside, a group of old white couples were resting. The old man wearing a black top hat and a snow-white beard raised his finger and pointed at a brightly lit building opposite. The old woman patted his arm in annoyance.

Looking along the direction of the old man's finger, he saw a small building with sharp edges and irregular shapes. The colorful and brilliant light show was dazzling, like an outlaw shooting smoke bombs into his eyes.

On the street side of the venue, groups of young people were wandering nearby, and from time to time, bursts of noise could be heard coming from the venue.

Drifting in along with the October evening breeze, there are eight huge electronic screens arranged in twos and twos. The spotlights are shaking and shining. Rows of young men and women of different skin colors below the stage are making waves as the fierce battle on the electronic screens is going on.

.

English, French, German, Spanish, Korean, all kinds of languages ​​are flying around, and you can also hear a familiar word starting with F.

Of course, beautiful Chinese dialect is also indispensable:

"At the end of the game, the Unicorn of Love failed to defeat its opponent after a fierce battle for forty minutes. This team from the Russian CIS region found it difficult to win on the first day of the qualifying round."

"What makes them even more desperate is that UOL is currently at the bottom of Group A. If they lose one more game, they will become the first team to bid farewell to the S9 Global Finals. Unfortunately, their next opponent will be the third seed CG team in North America.

Let us wish them good luck..."

One game ends and the next begins. The winners and losers go down side by side, and the departures and returners walk side by side, interpreting the cycle of victory and defeat.

"M's, it hurts, it hurts too much."

Some people are not even qualified to be losers. In a double suite of an international hotel less than three miles away from the LEC studio, Xiao Se had his back to the door. He was so thin that his face could not be seen clearly.

At this time, he was sitting on the edge of the bed, his shadow was drawn out by the light, his legs were spread in a strange posture, and his right hand was shaking back and forth, as if he was immersed in craft work.

"Xiao Se, Xiao Se, well, you said you were just showing some kind-heartedness. It's fine now. It took a lot of effort to get to the S game, but in the end you didn't even have a chance to go there."

"I haven't heard that hallucinations occur after being scratched by a cat, but why do strange things appear at the wound?"

Xiao Se, male, from Frank China, will turn 18 in a few days, and is a substitute jungler for the Unicorns of Love e-sports club.

Compared with his peers, Xiao Se is taller and thinner, with cold-white skin. He was just changing the gauze on his left hand, and was not talking about a project worth hundreds of millions.

The hallucination in Xiao Se's mouth came from the wound on his left hand, where a line of light yellow light curtains formed at some point. The light curtain seemed to be a holographic projection of future technology, and there was a line of words that kept flashing on it: Cat Man LV1 (

0/100), reaction speed 1, comment: A bad substitute blessed by luck.

Looking up out of the window, the subtitles disappeared again.

"Gan, there is such a weird thing in the world. The Supreme Lord, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Master Fa Hai are as urgent as laws. Monsters, please help me practice!"

It’s not working, is it possible?!

Impossible! But... ugh! Gaia!

"It still doesn't work. Could it be that my template is Captain China? Where are Black Widow and Scarlet Witch? Please let me go and meet them!"

"There's also Thanos. I'll definitely ask him if his chin is made of coconut heels when I get the chance."

Xiao Se murmured to himself, even if he was alone, he could talk very energetically, and his inner activities were even more unbelievable.

"Hey, we'll talk about saving the world later. How about I come on as a substitute first? What's the S game if I don't play... It's good to go there and feel the atmosphere. You can also see Feike.

"

Xiao Se, a fake fan, didn't quite know that his idol Feike would not come to the finals. When he was distracted, he accidentally touched the wound, which made him grimace in pain.

"Meow~"

The culprit made a noise. A majestic and burly Maine Coon cat with brown and black body and flowing fur was lying in the animal cage, looking at Xiao Se quietly with its dark golden pupils.

"I was kind enough to rescue you, and you even scratched me...hiss~" Xiao Se had a somewhat chatty personality. He lowered his head to treat the wound while also giving the cat a mouthful.

From the side view of Maomao, Xiao Se's handsome appearance can be seen at a glance, with a sharp jaw, a high and straight nose bridge, a flawless lip line, deep and meaningful eyes, and a slightly naturally curly broken hair. There are a few

With the shadow of a pretty boy, he can compete with Bai Gu.

After finishing everything, Shaw added some cat food to Bao Bao. "Bao Bao" was the name Shaw gave to this Maine Coon cat because it had a bad temper and hurt people with its claws right after he rescued it from the sewer that day.

Not really a cat.

Xiao Se petted the cat and suddenly remembered that he still didn't know whether the kitten was a male or a female. He was about to let it die. He walked violently on the window sill and turned to look at Xiao Se with dark golden pupils, as if asking.

Said: Deathly perverted.

Xiao Se smiled awkwardly and decisively changed the subject: "Hey, I wonder if the team won?"

For some reason, after being bitten by Bao Bao, Xiao Se has been unusually lethargic for the past two days. He planned to squint for a while at noon to watch the team's game, but when he opened his eyes, it was already dark, just like you on the weekend.

Dudu...dudu...dudu~

A very regular set of knocks on the door instantly brought Xiao Se out of his fugue state. Something happened!

Xiao Se turned over, stuffed all the dirty clothes and smelly socks into the cabinet, kicked the trash can containing a lot of toilet paper to the corner, covered it with a curtain, and then opened the door.

A thin but thick-haired Russian guy walked in first and secretly winked at Shoser. This was the other owner of the double bed in Shoser's room, a Russian who had no East Slavic features at all.

Despite his skinny appearance, he is a translator for the team. He is proficient in Russian and English and is learning Chinese by himself.

Xiao Se immediately understood what the film partner meant, made an OK gesture, and spoke in pure Russian: "Dear Kaczynski, are you back?"

Kaczynski pointed behind him and moved away. A man in a suit walked in and closed the door.

The person who came here is tall and strong, with a slightly high hairline. Judging from the hairstyle, he must have watched Fa Ge's movies when he was a child. Judging from his appearance, he is still a compatriot of Xiao Se. "Is Arthur feeling better?"

Xiao Se patted his chest and said, "Brother Hua, don't worry, I feel like I can eat a cow now."

Brother Hua lit a cigarette and said, "That's good. Get ready. Success or failure depends on this."

One move? Where?

Xiao Se was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately, his eyes brightened, "Can I play now?"

Brother Hua took a puff from his cigarette, and his eyes narrowed due to the stimulation of the smoke. "We lost two games in a row today. It is very dangerous to qualify in the group. Kirill's performance made Fabian very dissatisfied. This is a golden opportunity for you, brother."

, How can a real man live in depression for a long time?"

Kirill is the current jungler of UOL, and Fabian is the reason why UOL was established. His father formed this UOL team in order to support his son's e-sports dream, which is also the origin of the love in UOL's name.

Xiao Se whispered: "Ji Ji is so stupid."

Brother Hua pretended not to hear his complaints: "You performed well in the training match. I suggested that Fabian adjust the lineup. He accepted it and remembered that he still has you as a general."

Kaczynski next to him specially switched to Chinese to express his heartfelt blessing: "Xiao, congratulations! You are a dog now!"

Xiao Se: Why are you swearing?

Brother Hua, half of Kaczynski’s Chinese teacher, explained: “He wanted to say that we should live in wealth and honor and never forget each other.”

Xiao Se was amused and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahahaha." Another star-like laughter from the side suddenly sounded, interrupting Xiao Se's spellcasting.

Xiao Se was startled, and turned around to find that it was the team's AD, inndex, and he was laughing along with him.

"When did you come?" Xiao Se asked.

"I've always been there." Inndex said dissatisfiedly. He had heard this question countless times since he was a child.

"Then why didn't I see you? Forget it, it doesn't matter. Your smile is very distinctive."

Brother Hua smiled and shook his head. He was indeed a young man, fearless and ambitious, and he dared to think of helping the world while selling shoes and dates.

Brother Hua said: "Don't be too happy. Although Fabian accepted my suggestion, he doesn't know much about you. And as you know, Kirill is very aggressive and said that he should use the method between men."

Solve the problem."

Xiao Se calmed down a little and asked: "Oh? Xiaoka, go and heat me a glass of wine!"

Brother Hua laughed loudly. He understood this bad joke and said: "Kirill wants to go solo with you. If he loses, he is willing to give up his position. Fabian agreed."

"Unless Kirill obtains the Time Stone, there is no way he can defeat Shaw."

Brother Hua reminded: "I know you are capable, but Kirill can dominate the jungle in the LCL. Don't be careless. If you win, I will treat you to a French dinner."

Brother Hua was about to fight, but Xiao Se quickly grabbed his arm and said cowardly: "Just kidding, I'm sorry for your cultivation if I don't win."

Xiao Se smiled playfully on the outside, but in his heart he understood Brother Hua's expectations and worries.

He has only been a professional player for less than half a year. Brother Hua accidentally discovered him while watching an OB game. He felt that this kid had potential, so he observed him for a few days before inviting him to train.

It can be said that Brother Hua single-handedly brought him into UOL. However, Xiao Se's gaming career was only a little over a year, and he had never played on the court since joining the team. His game experience was like an A4 paper brought by a veteran to a meeting - it was completely blank.

And his opponent Kirill Skvortsov, ID: AHaHaCik, is the No.1 jungler in the LCL division. It is said that there are teams in the LEC that want to poach him, and there is basically no opponent in the LCL division.

Shaw walked to the training room, which was already full of people, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing. Head coach Fabian was sitting on an armchair, squeezing his temples.

"Hi, dear Xiao, is your hand injury healed?"

The person who said hello was support Edward, the support of the M5 team in ancient times, nearly 30 years old, and a true living stone-level player.

He is also the big brother in the UOL team and takes great care of Xiao Se, the youngest member.

On the other side, Kirill also walked over. He was a typical Russian with thick hair, a tall build, and a head of pink curly hair.

"From the moment you knew you joined the team, I knew there would only be one winner between us. Stalin said that no matter the crow...e, after all, a crow is a crow. Are you ready to be kicked in the ass by me?

"
