Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

Chapter 137 I'm Super, Dragon! [6th Update]

In fact, even in the early days, before League of Legends had truly taken off, the esports players in the game were not in a good position.

With an average salary of less than a few thousand yuan per person, a group of people would pool their money to eat a plate of Lizhuang boiled pork. When they went out to compete, they would stay in the worst hotels, a group of people crammed into a room filled with smoke, smelling of feet and cigarette smoke.

At the same time, they also have to face the disdain of others, the lack of understanding from family members, and the resentment of those around them.

There are so many obstacles, it's not easy at all.

But they persevered and eventually made it to a better time.

This game experienced an explosive growth in its ecosystem, becoming the most popular game in the world at the time. Capital also saw the huge commercial potential in professional competitions and entered the market one after another.

The esports environment is starting to improve.

Esports professionals are gradually shedding their stigma and getting back on track.

The popularity of professional competitions continued to rise year after year.

Even though the game has reached the end of its lifespan and not many people are willing to play it anymore, people just stop playing the game themselves. After all, the group of spirited young people from back then have grown old and are facing the pressures of life, so they have turned to face even bigger enemies.

Countless accounts have remained stuck at level 30 forever.

However, many people still watch the games on their phones, screens, or TVs around that time of year.

I also watch videos on weekdays, becoming a "cloud gamer" to commemorate my past youth.

In other words, even if the game suffers a severe loss of players in the short term, its commercial value will not change. These veteran players will still be willing to log in and play a game or two once they encounter some opportunity.

Although they may have become less capable now, and may no longer be as spirited as they used to be, they still have a deep love for their youth.

This year is a prime example, generating an exceptionally high level of buzz and discussion.

Because this year's event is being held in China, and in the National Stadium, the most important and special stadium in the hearts of all Chinese people!
At the same time, it is also hailed as the year with the best chance of winning the championship in recent years.

For four consecutive years, the Chinese region has failed to win a championship. This year is different; it is the best year for Chinese teams, and many strong new players have emerged.

In addition, the theme song was composed by Chinese people!
It's safe to say that the level of attention it received was off the charts!
"Go LPL!!!"

"Cheers to LPL!!"

"The most promising year!"

"I hope they won't disappoint me again this year. I've waited too long. At the National Stadium (China's national football team stadium), I really don't want to see our Chinese team lose! Otherwise, it will truly become a permanent regret!!"

"Looking forward to Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng's performance on set."

"Is this Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng's first time stepping onto the Magpie Nest Stadium?"

"This is indeed a special time for fans of Xia, Zhou, and Mengmeng from 'Romance in the Rain'."

"Damn it!! Tickets are so hard to get!! They're all gone already!!"

"Damn it! There's no way to get any!"

It's incredibly popular, undoubtedly the most talked-about event online.

Xiao Zhongge was one of the many fans who couldn't get tickets to the event.

This time, he wasn't as lucky as he was with Ultra.

After all, Ultra was also an international stage at the time, and its international attention was no less than that of the World Championship Finals.

However, you have to admit that it was an event that initially had little public recognition in China, and it was only after Xia Shen's influence that it gained more and more attention.

The finals are different; everyone knows about them.

Trying to snag tickets for this kind of event? It's practically impossible!
Then we'll have to watch the live broadcast.

He gritted his teeth.

I just hope we can win the championship this year, and I hope the opening ceremony is spectacular!
This is the Magpie's Nest, a venue that's one of the best in all previous finals. The stage effects have to be top-notch.
After all, it's a venue that once hosted the Olympics.

Meanwhile, Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng finally connected with the official organizers of the competition, namely the relevant person in charge of Tencent Games, and the representatives sent by Riot Games.

First, he needs to scout out the location, then cooperate with the organizers, and then rehearse.

Finally, the desired on-site effect is presented.

After learning more about it, he was shocked.

how to say?

It seems the organizers are giving extra attention to the theme song he chose for this competition!
This level of importance seems to be higher than in any previous year.

this.
It has to be said that Xia Shen has already seen how shocked and amazed everyone will be by the scene.

Of course, there are many things he can't say, so he can only wait.

When Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng were rehearsing together, no one could see them.

Time passed in this waiting, and another week went by.

Over the course of a week, the various competition teams arrived in Beijing one after another to make their final preparations. The venues have all been set up and all the details have been taken care of.

Everything is poised to go!

Finally, the final day arrived, which was November 4, 2026!
As this momentous occasion arrives, this grand event once again demonstrates its enduring value and popularity to everyone!
The related live stream attracted over 10 million viewers within one minute of its launch!
5000 million in 5 minutes!
After the commercials and opening credits, it officially surpassed 100 million!

The momentum is extremely terrifying!
This year's opening sequence is also a semi-documentary format, telling the story of how difficult the journey of various professional players has been.

Xiao Zhongge was also watching, waiting anxiously like all the fans.

Finally, the moment arrived, and Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng appeared in the enormous Magpie Nest Stadium.

First, there was Xia Shen, sitting in front of a piano, his fingers dancing slowly, playing a beautiful melody.

The huge, million-dollar Steinway piano is emblazoned with the grand final logo.

Zhou Yumeng, also holding a microphone, stepped out from behind Xia Shen. The two exchanged a glance, and Xia Shen nodded.

Zhou Yumeng tightened her in-ear monitor, picked up the microphone, and began to sing.

"Legends never die."

Legends never die.

"When the world is calling you."

When the world calls you.

"Can you hear them screaming out your name?"

Can you hear the world calling your name?

"Legends never die."

Legends never die.

"They become a part of you."

To etch a legend into one's own life.

During her performance, Zhou Yumeng slowly walked down the steps to join the large band below.

Of course, there is also the extremely eye-catching branch of the China Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as a stage design with hundreds of dancers.

Many fans watching the live stream, including Xiao Zhongge, got goosebumps the moment Xia Shen started playing and Zhou Yumeng opened her mouth.

Zhou Yumeng's voice is still so powerful.

Although the sound recording was not very good in some places, a few sentences sounded intermittent and even very quiet.

But isn't that precisely why it proves that it's 100% live singing?

And it was all live!
What do you call that? That's called skill! Understand?
And this doesn't mean that the singer's singing skills are bad or that the equipment is bad.

Without a doubt, the equipment at Quechao is top-of-the-line, the absolute best; there is no better equipment than theirs.

But with such a large venue that can accommodate 100,000 people, and being an open-air venue with a complex acoustic field, isn't it top-notch to be able to produce such an effect?

The fans are extremely excited.

Zhou Yumeng continued singing, the melody becoming increasingly stirring.

"Every time you bleed for reaching greatness."

A bloody battle composes a song of fierce competition.

"Relentlessly you survive."

Fighting for survival under the stars and wielding a sword.

"They never lose hope when everything's cold and the fighting's near!"

Do not lose hope in the face of utter despair and the impending battle!
"It's deep in their bones, they'll run into smoke when the fire is fierce!"

The raging fire, though fierce and relentless, will eventually dissipate, leaving only embers.
"Oh, pick yourself up, 'cause-"

Fully prepared to fight for themselves.

At this point, everyone was shocked.

Xiao Zhongge, who was watching the live stream, also became extremely attentive, because he knew...

It’s coming!!

Sure enough, the next moment, Zhou Yumeng pulled the microphone away, and the powerful sound pressure was overwhelming even in such an empty venue!

"Legends never die—"

Legends never die.

what! ! !
Xiao Zhongge got goosebumps.

Just like the countless viewers in the live chat!
As expected! It didn't backfire! Zhou Yumeng is awesome!!

Xia Shen is awesome!!

However, just when he thought that was all there was to it, even though it was enough, the moment he heard the phrase 'Legends never die,' he knew there was nothing more to say.

That's all unnecessary.

However, as the chorus ended and the interlude began, the giant Summoner's Cup rose from below the stage.

Roar--

A sudden, furious roar caught everyone off guard.

All the viewers watching the live stream were stunned.

What's making that noise?
Then, to everyone's astonishment, a huge figure appeared above the stadium.

A ferocious face, a huge body, and wings that blot out the sky.

"What a generous gift! Crabs!" Xiao Zhongge's head exploded instantly. He clutched his head with both hands, his pupils dilating in shock.

"What the hell?!" My roommate jumped to his feet. "An ancient dragon?!"

"Huh???" the second brother asked, his soul trembling with agony.

"Holy crap! Holy ...

(I can't do it anymore. I overestimated my health. I apologize to everyone. There are only six chapters left. I wanted to continue writing, but I'm not feeling well. I haven't been in good condition these past few days. It's probably because I was sick and wrote eight chapters before, which really hurt me. Of course, I will make up for the four chapters I owe. I'll write one chapter a day. Starting tomorrow, I will write six chapters for four consecutive days.)
