Chapter 467: LOL Frenzy, Thousand Spectators!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the court hearing yesterday, Wu Sen could feel that apart from Luocheng, the other three’s emotions were super unstable!
Xu Pingyang, that son of a b*tch was really something, timing it perfectly for Team Skycrown just before they were going to play against them. Distracting their attention to this extent, causing them to be unable to concentrate on their training!
The concentration required in professional competitions was extremely important, and at the same time, the mental state of the players were too. Once their usual state and training were affected, their mental state would obviously be unstable, and it would affect the actual match.
Wu Sen was also at a complete loss on how to resolve this matter with the four of them, he only knew that they didn’t sleep well yesterday night.
This was not a good sign!
“How are they, are they still alright?” Wu Sen asked in the afternoon, not being able to hold himself back.
Luocheng didn’t reply.
During the training matches, Da Luo and Lin Dong were obviously not focused, and they had made quite a few glaring mistakes.
As soon as it happened, Da Luo had slammed his hands on the keyboard in frustration, as though the keyboard held Xu Pingyang’s face and he had to be smashed.
As the time drew nearer, the bus from the organizers arrived at the lobby of the hotel.
The six members, including Meiqi, headed toward the venue.
You needed to fight for seats in the arena for a good spot, and every game had almost thousands of people gathering.
Due to it being the final championship match adding on the reputation between Team Skycrown and Team Sky, an arena which only housed one to two thousand people was definitely not sufficient.
To accommodate the LOL fans, the organizers had specially arranged for the match to be carried out in the famous exhibition hall in Shanghai. The hall could easily fit four thousand people.
As for the people who would be watching the live broadcast online, there would be millions.
***
Wearing a uniform with the Demacia Club logo on it, the players got off the bus, passing by numerous staff, guests and players, walking into the venue.

This competition was a big investment on the organizer’s part because this hall which could hold four thousand people had no concept of tickets. As long as the players queued up in time for the game, they would be able to enter the hall for free to enjoy the e-sports fest!
The exhibition hall was near the city area, and two hours before the game, you could already find tons of people outside, the lines were as long as a few dragons!
The roads were almost all blocked off, and those traveling in cars had to make detours to get around the area.
***
Honks sounded, and a middle-aged man sitting in the car leaned out. Seeing the mass of people in the distance which was causing a blockage, he shouted, “What’s happening, what big-shot star is having a concert here?”
The girl who was in the passenger seat also glanced up, but all she saw were various dresses and head gears.
“If the car can’t go in, why don’t we just park here and walk in? Sigh, Feifei, you are also another one. You should just watch a movie with your mother and I on the weekend, why talk about coming here to watch a classmate in some competition!? Now it looks like we’re stuck here because of some concert, look at the amount of people, there could be thousands of them. There aren’t many stars who can attract such an amount of people with a concert.” The middle-aged man who was driving said.
“What’s happening up front, can’t we just move forward!? I have a plane to catch!”
“What’s with the hold up, what’s going on!”
“Don’t you see the road up ahead is blocked off, detour, detour!”
As the noise got louder, Bai Feifei got down from her father’s car, walking into the crowd. The middle-aged man also got down, taking the lead and leading them inside. Luckily, the weather these few months was cooling, otherwise, with such a crowd, they would think twice about doing this.
“It looks like they’re all waiting to go in.” Feifei said as she looked at the long lines.
The middle-aged man glanced inside and he was startled to realize that the heaps of young people were in actual fact gathered for the competition in the hall.
“Are all these people crazy? Why would so many of them gather here for an e-sports competition…there’s so many people!” The middle-aged man exclaimed, his face was completely stunned.
How many people were there!?
Ever since Feifei and her father had gotten down from the car, they had walked at least ten minutes. The path they were on was just packed with people like a can of sardines!
Feifei’s father was a big-shot of a large company, in addition to his busy business, he liked to watch football matches and he would stay up late for the World Cup.
What he didn’t expect was for e-sports, which he didn’t even play, to be able to gather such a huge amount of people to come and watch. To what extent was this League of Legends hot?
“It looks like we’re too late, we can’t get in…” Feifei said as she stood on her tiptoes to try and see the front.
There was at least a distance of five hundred meters from the venue, if you counted the amount of people in the queue, you could hardly hope to get in the first four thousand.
***
“Holy sh*t, with so many people in line, I can’t go have a meal with you. The people from Demacia Cafe and I had promised that we would be there in person to watch Lone Gull play Top in this game!” A man who had styled his hair with obvious care said as he came down from the car, his eyes sweeping across the crowd in astonishment.
“Don’t worry, I already got someone to help us book a spot in front with some help from money.” The other guy said as he too got down from the driver’s seat, opening the back seat door.
A woman with a knee-length skirt stepped out, and she was also surprised by the amount of people she saw.
“I say, Shui Mo, you didn’t need to come with us. It’s not as if you understand the game.” The man in a casual shirt said.
“It’s okay, there are so many people here and the atmosphere is good. I’m curious, how hot could this game be, it almost feels like a concert venue.” Shui Mo smiled lightly as she said.
“What else could there be other than League of Legends now? This is the game that the whole world is playing. From elementary students to uncles, everyone in our country is playing this game.” The man with stylish hair said.
“It’s that popular, then what is this competition?”
“It’s a professional competition, similar to the strongest football team in our country or the finals in basketball. Here is where the professional players stand out from millions of other players, their strength unparalleled. Today, I especially came to see Team Skycrown’s Top because I also play Top, hehe!” The man with stylish hair said.
COMMENT
Shui Mo didn’t really understand half of the things that came out from his mouth, she just followed her boyfriend. Her boyfriend and his friends were obsessed with this game, especially Peng Fei, who had made a fuss about coming today.
She didn’t understand how such a big-shot person like him could be so obsessed with an online game.
***
Lecheng, a riverside district, was said to be a small community. This riverside community was actually quite old, and the red tiles had obviously eroded due to the wind and rain.
“Gui Jun, can you do auntie a favor?” A woman’s voice came from the entrance, stopping a young man who had yet to enter university.
“Sure.” The young man said.
“I don’t know how to operate a computer, and I heard that the League of Legends competition is today at 7PM. Could you help me tune the channel?” Li Yun asked.
“No way, auntie, do you also play this game?” Gui Jun was surprised. LOL was really turning the world around.
“No, no, I heard from Cheng’s classmate, Wang Qin, that there’s a big competition today, and I can watch him on the computer…” Li Yun explained.
Gui Jun was even more surprised. Tonight was the match between Team Skycrown and Team Sky, they had predicted that a lot of people would watch it. He himself was a Platinum player, how could he not pay attention to such a big event.
Only, how the h*ll could Luocheng be in the competition. Could it possibly be that Fighting Hawk was indeed that kid, Luocheng!?
What the h*ll!?
If it was really him, wouldn’t that make him the neighbour of this master LOL God!?
“Oh, it isn’t tuning a channel. It’s just opening a browser to watch the live broadcast. I’ll help you find it.” Gui Jun came back to his senses, hurriedly going upstairs to help Li Yun open the page.
As soon as the page was displayed, it just so happened to be the introduction of both teams.
It started with the top laner—Da Luo, and ended with Luocheng.
On the screen, a clear frontal picture of Luocheng was displayed. He looked handsome and calm, completely in his element!
Li Yun saw Luocheng’s information displayed across the screen, and she suddenly felt as though there was something in her eyes.
It had been a year… Unknowingly, another year had passed. Other than letting Yu Yu deliver some things, she hadn’t had many chances to talk to him over the phone. Li Yun didn’t know how her family had become like this, if it was from the first time when he had left home due to his recklessness and rebellion, but it was obvious that he had grown and matured.
Why would he still be at odds with this family? Was it possible that their thinking had been wrong!?
“Auntie…this…is this really that kid, Cheng!?” Gui Jun stared at the screen, still out of it.
“It’s him, it’s really him!” Li Yun confirmed, nodding her head.
“At first, I thought it was just someone who looked similar to him, I never thought that it really was him!” Gui Jun exclaimed suddenly.
Li Yun was looking at Gui Jun with a puzzled expression, why was he getting so excited?
At that moment, Li Yun voiced her confusion and doubts from inside her heart.
“Aiyah, your son is the captain of Team Skycrown, that’s almost the same level as being a star!” Gui Jun said, his voice still full of excitement.
You couldn’t blame him for his over-excitement. After all, the first LOL God, Fighting Hawk, was actually his very own neighbour!
Can’t help but brag about it, this would scare his friends around him to death, hahaha!
