A chilly strong wind blew as Jian Feng looked at the miles and miles of vast loess and hills, making him feel like he was in an entirely different world.
Also hailing from the countryside, he didn’t have the arrogance of the city kids, but it wasn’t until he walked into Xiao Bei’s village that he truly understood the meaning of ‘mountain village’. It really was completely surrounded by mountains and the only means of getting around was by walking.
The road was uneven and steep, it was hard to believe that people could actually live in this place!
Over the past few days, Jian Feng had seen and experienced the worst parts of the county. Forget about cell phones and computers, the village didn’t even have running water or lights.
It was completely isolated from the world, and more importantly, he was certain that the China census never reached the village either.
Most of the people here didn’t have identity cards, and even if they did go to town, they probably wouldn’t be able to apply for one anyway.
Fortunately, they at least still had cell phone signal.
“Hello… what… won?! F*ck, you’re serious right? They really managed to beat Team Revelation?!” Jian Feng shouted suddenly.
“What? What happened?” asked Xiao Bei as he hurriedly came over.
Jian Feng didn’t manage to get more than two words in before the call was cut off.
They could get a signal here but it was so bad that you’d be lucky to even be able to say one word.
“They won, they won!! Three to zero against Team Revelation, a top four team!! Hahaha!” Jiang Feng exclaimed in excitement, unable to hold it in.
“Really? That’s great!!” Xiao Bei also exclaimed loudly, excitement clear in his tone and eyes.
Three to zero against Team Revelation, they couldn’t even dream of this before!
With this kind of victory, every LOL player would now have their eye on Team Skycrown. They definitely would not be looked down upon anymore.
And they would definitely be able to find sponsors now, their money problems were as good as solved!
“Luocheng really is the best!” said Xiao Bei with a wide grin.
Yu Luocheng hadn’t played in the professional league for such a long time, but with one touch he managed to defeat Team Revelation with an astounding score of three to zero.
Xiao Bei’s heart sank as he thought about the problem with his identity card that still couldn’t be resolved. He really wanted to play on the same stage as Yu Luocheng. When they won together, the taste of victory would definitely be indescribable!
“Let’s go back, there’s no point in staying anymore,” said Jian Feng.
“Yeah, I’ll go back and ask my uncle. He does a lot of dodgy things, maybe he can help me settle this,” said Xiao Bei.
Jian Feng protested strongly, “Ask your uncle? Don’t be stupid, that guy’s a con man!”
Xiao Bei shook his head, saying, “No, I was the one who wanted to leave at that time. You saw what my village was like… and when I said that I was going to play e-sports, he didn’t completely stop me either.”
“Let’s go back first.”

The Shanghai University community was in an uproar!
The LPL was the most prolific professional league in the country. It was like getting to see their own schoolmate not only appearing on the CBA field, but also sweeping away all those well-known CBA masters!
No one could contain their excitement as they watched!
Yu Luocheng’s five roommates were all in the community area. The only ones who knew how to play LOL were Qiu Jingtai and Jiang Jiu. At first, the other three were watching Yu Luocheng with a weird expression, wondering why he was so popular.
But when they saw the live broadcast, with such a gorgeous stage and a massive crowd that you normally only see in concerts, they suddenly realized that their roommate was someone who was damn good at playing the game!
“No wonder our e-sports club suddenly managed to get into the top four, there was actually an LPL player in there!” said a senior.
“You didn’t watch the later games, Yu Luocheng was singled out from beginning to end. If it wasn’t for that, they probably could have been placed first in the university rankings!”
“I think so too!”
“In other words, our school has two celebrities now—a swimming goddess who’s a national champion and a LPL god!”

The five members of Team Skycrown stood proudly on stage as confetti rained down on them from above.
“Congratulations to Team Skycrown! This round was amazing, it was the only one where a newly formed team managed to defeat one of the top four teams, you guys are really something!” the host commented warmly as he made his way to the stage, smiling.
Someone else was following the host to the stage. He was upright and wearing American-style denim, giving off the feeling that he just returned from a foreign country.
He was also holding a mic in his hand and had a smile on his face. His eyes were fixed on Yu Luocheng, looking at him fondly like he was an old friend. His gaze also carried a hint of admiration.
“Let me introduce the person beside me. He’s the coach of Team Free from the US. You can say that he has probably influenced more than half of all the strong teams in the US. He grew up in our country and returns here from time to time. This is Moke,” explained the host.
