We are the champions
Bai Zeyan drove to the Ji family's old house, and the housekeeper led him into Mr. Ji's study. Mr. Ji sat at the desk, and Bai Zeyan handed him the documents respectfully.
"We've already found some clues. The person behind the plot in the west of the city seems to be from the Yikes Group in Gao Country."
Old Master Ji raised his eyes coldly. Bai Zeyan's face was heavy. "I didn't expect it to be such a powerful force. It's the second largest enterprise in Gao Country. Gao Country's economic lifeline is intricate and complicated. If we continue investigating, we might end up in trouble."
"Don't act rashly on this matter, so as not to alert the enemy."
"Yes, I will pay attention."
"Knock knock—" There was a knock on the door.
Bai Zeyan stared at the door.
"Grandpa." It was Ji Jinyan's voice.
"Wait for me outside." Master Ji gave Bai Zeyan a look and walked out.
Ji Jinyan followed Master Ji into another room. He thought of the car he saw outside.
"Grandpa, is anyone coming home?"
"Oh, a junior came to visit, not someone important."
Ji Jinyan nodded and said, "Grandpa, please review DY's summary for last year."
"Well, you did a great job. Your father must be very pleased."
Ji Jinyan remained calm in the face of adversity, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Stay and have dinner with me tonight." Old Master Ji patted his shoulder and left the room.
After Master Ji left, Ji Jinyan walked out and saw through the window that the parked car was slowly driving away.
He stood outside the window and stared for a long time.
At the same time, a text message from Gao Guo came. Ye Lin checked and found it was from CC, so she clicked on the content.
Ye Lin lowered her eyes and looked at the words - "yikes".
…
"Welcome to the live broadcast of the Global Gaming League Steven Finals. Friends, where are your cheers? Shout out the team you support."
The atmosphere at the scene was high, "KYK-WIN, KYK-WIN, KYK-WIN!"
"Meng Yan's rage shakes a thousand miles away, and others retreat three steps away. Victory is inevitable!"
"Wow~ It seems our fans are really looking forward to it. I'm sure both teams have already received their enthusiasm. Now, let's welcome them in."
"The team on the left is Team Titer from Yike Entertainment, and the team on the right is Team WIN from KYK Club."
The two WIN team fans in the audience shouted excitedly, "Why can't I see the great Suen?"
The girl looked around and said, "I don't know why Suen didn't appear on stage."
"Next is halftime break and preparation. Let's wait and see the exciting match between the two teams in 30 minutes."
After stepping off the stage, Little K pup poked his head out furtively, "Did you see that? Is God Y here?"
"Wait, there are so many people here, I have to look for them slowly. I see it, it's there."
"Xiao K, go quickly." Su Chengen urged.
Xiao K looked embarrassed and asked, "Do we really want to do this?"
"Well, you have to do this, don't let anything slip."
"Go." Xiao K was pushed to the stage and forced to do something he had no choice but to do.
Xiao K rushed to Ye Lin and said, "My God, something bad has happened to Suen."
Ye Lin followed Xiao K to the lounge and saw Su Chengen with a painful look on his face.
"Cheng'en, what's wrong?"
"My hand hurts so much, it seems like it's injured." Su Chengen held his wrist.
"Let me take a look." Ye Lin took Su Chengen's pulse.
He dodged immediately, "Maybe he got hurt during practice."
Ye Lin didn't say anything, but the tense expression on her face relaxed.
Su Chengen turned to Ye Lin and said, "What should I do? It seems that I can't play, and the substitute is not good at my job."
"How about," he turned his eyes to her, "Sister, you can take my place. You are the most suitable candidate."
Ye Lin's face was gloomy. "Cheng'en, are you kidding me about the stage you've been dreaming of?"
"Why are you pretending to be injured?"
Su Cheng'en looked up and met Ye Lin's eyes. "Because you forgot our agreement, sister. You promised me that we would win the highest honor together. Even if I won the championship today, without you there, what would be the point? This is not what I want at all. Even without this competition, I still have many other competitions. If you can stand there for me this time, it will be perfect."
As Su Chengen spoke, tears streamed down his face. He slowly squatted down, hugged himself and sobbed secretly.
The other team members also said, "God Y, don't blame him. We were reluctant to let you go at the beginning. Cheng'en has known you the longest and has the deepest feelings for you."
"Yes, God Y, we were all involved in this matter. It was us who failed to stop him from making trouble. We all hope to fight alongside you and win this battle."
So everyone breathed softly and waited for Ye Lin's reaction.
That day, on the roadside, he was also alone, crying in despair. In Ye Lin's eyes, the boy now and the boy back then gradually overlapped. This was the boy she had raised, helping him with his studies, teaching him games. She was the person he had relied on the most.
Ye Lin came in front of him, and the shadow in front of her also covered him. He looked up again and saw the person who had once pulled him out of the wrong path.
"Cheng'en, I will get the honor that belongs to you together with you." Su Cheng'en looked at her in surprise.
"But not as your teammate." The light in his eyes seemed to be taken away and collapsed, thinking that she still refused.
"But your strategic commander." Everyone's eyes were on her.
"Let's give our two teams the warmest applause and invite them to enter the combat zone."
"The blue side of the battlefield is our Titer's dream flame, swimming, no tears, iron tank, nui"
"The red side's battle zone is WIN's Suen, Fish Monster, Chen Cheng, Snake, and Xiao K"
Ye Lin met with the commander of KYK. Ye Lin was wearing a hat and a mask. He smiled and said, "You must be the legendary Y God, right? Cheng En and the others often talk about you."
"Feel sorry."
"It's okay. I just hope these kids can realize their dreams. Seeing them in the spotlight is enough. This is my greatest wish. So, please, take them to the highest path."
"Thank you." Ye Lin said sincerely as she walked towards the battle zone.
"Next, please invite the game commanders of both teams to come. Titer will still be our exclusive commander."
"That's right. We've had the same commander since Titer debuted, and we work very well together."
"Hey, it seems the WIN team has temporarily replaced their commander. It seems he's not the one we're familiar with."
"Yeah, it looks very mysterious. I wonder if WIN has a new strategy this time? Let's look forward to it."
Titer's captain, Meng Yan, looked over there, and his teammates said to him, "Meng Yan, what's going on with WIN? Why did they suddenly change the commander?"
Meng Yan thought deeply, "I don't know, don't take it lightly."
"Entering the battlefield in one minute, 3, 2, 1!"
"Okay, both sides quickly occupied the territory, and Mengyan and Suen came to the main battlefield."
"Yes, the two of them took the lead in the confrontation. At the beginning, neither of them showed their strength, and it was just a simple collision to warm up."
"Oh, now we've arrived at our route below. Our Encounter Snake has already appeared and set up his own battlefield. It seems he's lying in wait."
"Okay, both sides basically met and started trying to attack."
"Oh no! Our swimming baby is heading downwards and there are snakes lurking nearby."
"Oh no! Youshui was pinned down, and Yushe used his ultimate move. Tietan arrived just in time, and Youshui managed to escape without any danger."
"Defeat!" The game prompt sounded.
"Whatever happened, it's over."
"It's WIN's Suen. Let's take a look at his amazing play. Suen dodged Mengyan's ultimate and, with a quick dodge, killed the low-health Nui, creating a gap in the defense. We can see that our Suen used his skills beautifully, securing the first round victory."
"Not bad." Chen Cheng and Su Chengen high-fived.
He looked at Ye Lin, and she nodded approvingly.
Titer, who lost a game, was dissatisfied but not discouraged. Their commander whispered a few words into Meng Yan's ear, and Meng Yan nodded.
"The second game begins."
"You can see that both sides have made adjustments and did not cross the line easily."
"The entire Titer team was very steady. They weren't anxious and had no intention of attacking at all."
"Alright, Suen's side has started to harvest. What? Titer has buried a flash channel and is gathering towards Suen. This is about to start a group battle."
"Yes, Titer's strategy this time is very clear. They are suppressing WIN's main force from all sides. The two groups are gathering, and Xiao K is left alone!"
"Ah, Xiao K still can't break free. Wu Lei delivered a very beautiful blow. WIN's current situation is not optimistic. Can they turn the tide?"
"Hold steady." Ye Lin's voice seemed to have a magical power to reassure people, and Su Chengen immediately adjusted his state.
Su Chengen regained his rhythm, exerted his strength, and broke free from Titer's encirclement.
WIN was also fighting back hard and regained some points, but the blue team's economy was too high and the red team was slowly conquered.
"The winner of the second round is—Titer!"
"It seems that our strength is evenly matched. Next up is our most crucial final match."
"Yes, we can see our commander has already taken the stage."
"Yes, with the commander's support, I believe they will have the best operation."
"Okay, enough talking, let's get started on the third and final game."
"Titer's teamwork is very tacit, and the strategic arrangements are well-organized and coordinated."
"What's going on with WIN? Chen Cheng actually gave up defending the middle lane. The Red team's middle lane is now empty. This is truly unprecedentedly bold. Is WIN giving up the middle lane to concentrate their forces on other branches, or is this a deception to confuse the enemy?"
"Heh," Nui laughed out loud, "What is this WIN doing? What a weird method. Where did they find this commander from? He must be a half-baked one."
Meng Yan's inquiring gaze fell on Ye Lin, who was wrapped tightly in black. "Coach," Meng Yan called out.
The blue team's game commander, who was also Titer's coach, shook his head. "Don't act rashly yet. Test the waters."
WIN did not develop the middle lane. With the help of Chen Cheng, it was not so easy for the blue team to break through other main lines and gain benefits.
"Mengyan, surround the top and middle lanes." The coach said.
Meng Yan went forward to open the way. Compared with the upper road where there was more resistance, the middle road was easier to break through.
Su Chengen went to the middle lane to fight, and after a few rounds, Meng Yan returned to his own branch.
It seemed that the middle lane was really undefended, and while doing so, the other WIN members killed You Shui in the bottom lane and took down another tower camp.
Meng Yan looked at the situation on the field: No, WIN seems to have no tactics, but there seems to be order in the chaos, scattered but tangible. The center of the battlefield seems to be shifting to that side, like a huge net. You think you have escaped from the Five Finger Mountain, but in fact you are just on one of his fingers.
"Coach." Meng Yan asked the commander for his opinion.
The coach also noticed something, "Teamfight in the middle lane, take the middle lane first."
The empty middle lane gradually filled with the blue team's players. "Sister, they're heading towards the middle lane."
"Well," Ye Lin observed the situation closely, "Now is the time to be cautious."
"good."
"Fish monster, cover Cheng'en. If you encounter a snake, hide and return to the middle road. Don't attack and don't be discovered."
"receive."
Xiao K was a clear instigator, feigning his move towards the middle lane. Titer was only one tower away from taking the middle lane, and at this moment, a snake appeared and used his skills under the tower, doubling his attack power under his natal tower.
Wu Lei was immediately left with low health, and WIN gathered in the middle lane. In the melee, Wu Lei was killed.
"Oh, what a shame! Titer has lost a key player."
"Yes, Wu Lei, one of the main laners, was forced into the waiting area for resurrection. It can be seen that he is very anxious. Every second in the battle may affect our final outcome."
"Oh, the blue team's center camp towers were breached one after another, and only the last one remains."
"Alright, our Wulei has revived and joined the battle. Ouch, but our Youshui and Nui have died one after another, and the Titan is also at low health."
"Retreat!" Ye Lin spat out two words.
"God Y, what did you say?" Little K questioned his ears.
Su Chengen retreated immediately after receiving the order, and the others including Xiao K also retreated. Xiao K regretted that he had not fought with God Y for too long. This was not someone else, and he could trust her wholeheartedly.
This move gave Titer a chance to catch their breath and recover.
"WIN actually gave up the pursuit. It seems they chose a conservative strategy."
"That's right. A rash attack at this point could result in both sides suffering losses. I can see that Titer has adjusted his condition. Can WIN still take it down in one fell swoop?"
Meng Yan and others were in a state of panic after returning to a safe place. The coach was also thinking of countermeasures. He had never encountered such a situation before. The usual tactics and strategies plus Titer's skills would not make it so difficult.
Meng Yan always felt something was familiar. He reviewed the battle just now. What was it?
In a flash of inspiration, "The dragon swings its tail!"
This is the name given by Meng Yan. It is like two dragons marching side by side. When attacked, they flexibly avoid it, with the front body away from the attack, but the tail is swung and the force of the attack pushes it back.
Just like the situation just now, WIN's middle lane is the gap between the two parallel dragons. Titer rushes straight into the middle lane with unstoppable force. When he encounters a snake, it is the breakthrough point of the tip of the dragon's tail. The returned force is greater than that of a direct attack. Then he retaliates fiercely, smashing straight into Titer's middle lane and breaking through all the way.
Meng Yan's thoughts were in a mess, his breathing was rapid, he thought: But, but this is clearly Y's move!!!
Meng Yan was just a teenager. He became a gamer because he was introduced to Yiyou Jianghu. At the time, his biggest admirer was the national champion, Y. He was a devoted fan, relentlessly watching every one of her battle videos and following every official news about her on the world. He would analyze and learn from Y's techniques, even giving them names. Even after two years without hearing from Y, he hadn't forgotten her. He even became the president of her fan club, always waiting for her return.
He wouldn't be wrong, although Y hadn't used it many times. This move was Y's "Dragon Tail Swing". What was going on? This was not WIN's usual fighting style. He looked at Ye Lin who was talking in the opposite battle zone. Could it be her?
"Mengyan, concentrate." The coach said.
Su Chengen had already entered Meng Yan's main route, but his uneasy mood affected his performance and he fell into a disadvantage.
"Dream Flame, dodge."
Meng Yan barely dodged it with his flying fingers, but his rhythm was messed up.
Titer was losing ground, WIN was showing a crushing trend, the camp collapsed, and resistance was of no avail.
Meng Yan impatiently took off the noise-isolating headset, "Take it down!" A faint voice came into his ears.
He stood up in shock and looked at Ye Lin. There was no mistaking the voice: Y, it was her! Although Y rarely used the microphone, he had been lucky enough to see clips sent by Y's friends, and some of the remaining fragments contained a sentence or two of Y's voice.
"Meng Yan, Meng Yan! What are you doing?"
The coach's urgent calls came from the headset on the table, but he didn't move.
"What happened to our Meng Yan? Did she give up fighting to the end?"
Su Chengen was puzzled, "Why is this kid so abnormal today?"
"The blue team's camp was destroyed, and WIN successfully won the third game! Oh——" the host shouted.
The whole audience cheered, "WIN! WIN! WIN!"
The happiest people were Su Chengen and the others. Ye Lin looked at them and laughed unconsciously. She hadn't even noticed that it was the first time she grinned, no longer smiling. Unfortunately, they couldn't see because they were wearing masks.
"Next, please invite the champion of the last Steven Global Competition, WIN, to come on stage to receive the award."
"Go ahead." Ye Lin said to them.
"Yes, we are going. Sister, come with us!" Su Chengen, Xiao K and the others dragged Ye Lin onto the stage.
He stuffed the trophy into Ye Lin's arms and hugged her tightly, "KYK! WIN! Yeah!"
In the middle is Ye Lin, whose face is blurred and she is dressed in black, and around her are the other people wearing team uniforms and smiling. This group of people was frozen in time at this moment. This photo has been treasured for many years, and it brings back memories every time I take it out and look at it.
