Believe me, I really am a professional League of Legends player.

Chapter 118 I'm doomed, surrounded by girls! (Please subscribe)

EDG's bus drove cheerfully towards Wanda Plaza, the atmosphere inside the bus completely different from when they arrived.

Li Fan noticed that iboy was staring at him with a very strange look in his eyes.

Curious, she asked, "Zhao, why are you staring at my face? Is there something dirty on my face?"

iboy quickly waved his hand, as he was someone who couldn't even get a chance to play in matches, and he dared not offend the big shot in the team.

"No, no, I just think you're very handsome, Brother Fan."

Upon hearing this, Meiko turned her head and carefully examined Li Fan from head to toe: "Indeed, it's undeniable that he's very handsome, but Xiao Zhao definitely didn't mean to tell you that. She probably wanted to ask if it's true that you don't practice Heroes during interviews."

"This is definitely true. When have you ever seen Fan practice any heroes? I asked him to duo queue three times and he refused each time. He's really talented." The factory manager, enjoying the spectacle, joked.

"Oh, so that's what it is? Can you believe what I said in the interview? To create a cool image, I secretly practiced with a smurf account every night. I don't even know how many games I've played with Galio. I must have played a thousand or two thousand games."

"I don't believe you for a second. You're just a big talker." The factory manager rolled his eyes.

At this moment, Abu ended his call with his boss and then greeted everyone with a big smile.

"Brothers, we can eat our fill at Haidilao tonight! It's on the boss!" Abu stood at the front of the carriage, waving his arms and beaming with a smile.

Initially, everyone planned to split the bill and go eat at Haidilao Hot Pot, but unexpectedly, when they received a call from Ed Zhu, he generously reimbursed them.

"Wuhu! Haidilao! I want to eat ten plates of fatty beef!" Mouse shouted excitedly.

"Eat less, or your movements will become even more distorted," Meiko teased with a laugh.

"Putting everything else aside, my stomach is growling with hunger. We should be arriving soon, right?"

"It'll be there soon, probably in about half an hour."

"Luckily, today's match ended relatively early. If we had played two more rounds, I would have been starving."

The bus did indeed arrive at Wanda Plaza after about half an hour.

Everyone went straight to Haidilao after getting off the hot pot.

Including the players, coaching staff, and other personnel, we booked two tables in the lobby.

Then the starting players, coach, and manager Abu sat at a table, and it has to be said that the atmosphere was quite lively at that moment.

It instantly created the feeling of having won the game.

Abu, seeing that everything was almost ready, raised his drink.

"Everyone was in really good form today, and I'm very happy to have won the game 3-0. To be honest, I did think about it before the game started because everyone's performance in the second half of the regular season was just this strong! I'd like to raise a glass to everyone!"

As Abu finished speaking, everyone at the table raised their drink glasses, the clinking of the glasses producing a crisp, pleasant sound.

"First of all, congratulations to ourselves!" Abu's voice was loud and clear, his face flushed from the victory and the steam from the hot pot. "We played beautifully today! Especially against a strong opponent like RNG, we withstood the pressure and played our own game! Everyone worked hard!"

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Everyone echoed in agreement, creating a lively atmosphere.

Abu paused, his gaze sweeping over each team member, lingering especially on Li Fan and Clearlove for a moment, his eyes filled with expectation: "Taking down RNG is just the first step. Our goal has never been just to reach the playoff semifinals or the finals!"

He raised his voice and lifted his glass: "I hope everyone will stay humble and keep this momentum going. Let's bring the championship back to Nanjing next week and continue EDG's winning streak!"

"necessary!"

"Defeat WE!"

iBoy, young and impetuous, shouted the loudest, completely disregarding the fact that he wouldn't even be able to play in the finals.

Abu nodded in satisfaction and continued, "If we win the league championship, we'll be qualified to represent the LPL at the Mid-Season Invitational to face the champions from other regions!"

"You all better be on your toes then, find out their strengths and weaknesses, and then win another Mid-Season Invitational title. One title isn't enough for you, it's time to lift the second Mid-Season Invitational!"

Everyone's emotions were stirred up, and the cups clinked together again, as if they could already see the scene of heading to MSI.

It has to be said that Abramovich did have some skills to be a coach before, at least he was very experienced in giving motivational speeches.

"Bottoms up!" Abu waved his hand enthusiastically and was the first to down his drink in one gulp.

This momentum was like someone who had downed a whole pound of liquor in one go.

But I was genuinely happy at that moment.

Everyone tilted their heads back and drank it all, instantly bringing the atmosphere to a climax.

"Come on, let's eat! The tripe is getting old!" The factory manager was the first to put a large chopstick of tripe into his bowl.

He's been watching this the whole time... and he's really anxious now.

Just then, a suppressed, excited gasp came from the next table.

"Hey hey hey! Look over there! Isn't that EDG?"

"Damn, it's true! They just finished a game and came here for hot pot. Just like us, they were hungry and decided to find a Haidilao nearby for a meal."

"It's Unreal Engine!!! My god, he's even more handsome in person than on camera!"

Several young women were secretly taking photos and videos with their phones while excitedly whispering to each other.

Although their commotion wasn't loud, it still caught the attention of some of the EDG team members in the relatively noisy hot pot restaurant.

Li Fan felt the most attention being directed at him. He looked up and met the excited yet slightly timid gazes of the girls.

He simply nodded slightly in that direction as a greeting.

This simple response only made them more agitated.

“He looked at us, and Unreal nodded.”

"Don't talk nonsense, aren't you looking at me?"

"Are you getting horny? According to the stats, Unreal is only seventeen, while you're ten years older than him."

"Quick, take a picture! That profile is amazing!"

Soon, one of them seemed unable to contain himself and jogged over, asking somewhat nervously, "Um...we're EDG fans, the match today was amazing! Can...can we take a picture with you?"

Seeing this, Abu responded with a smile, "Of course, thank you for your support during the match."

"But we're still eating, so let's just take a quick photo and not disturb the other guests."

"Okay, okay! Thank you!"

The girls were overjoyed to receive permission.

They first took a group photo with the whole team, and then a short-haired girl mustered up the courage to take a separate photo with Li Fan.

Standing next to Li Fan, she made a heart shape with her hand.

He kept shouting, "Brother Fan, you're amazing! Galio made me climax!"

Hearing this was still a little awkward... It's okay if a guy says it like that, but I didn't know how to respond when a girl said it like that, so I could only force a smile and nod.

The satisfied fans thanked the staff and returned to their seats, but their excitement had not diminished at all, and they immediately looked down and started using their phones.

[Holy crap! I ran into the entire EDG team celebrating their victory at Haidilao Hot Pot in Wanda Plaza after watching the match! [Images][Images][Images]]

[Unreal Engine 2 is breathtakingly handsome in person! He truly lives up to his reputation as the most handsome man in the LPL! His skin is so good, it seems to reflect light! Taking close-up photos with him is such a treat.]

[EDG members were incredibly friendly and approachable offline, readily granting requests for photos.]

On Weibo, the comment sections of the first few fans to post the group photo were instantly flooded with the word "envy".

[What incredible luck! You guys can bump into the whole team just by having hot pot after the game! Why don't I have that kind of luck?]

[Sister, did you save the galaxy in your past life? You actually managed to get a photo together! Unreal's smile is amazing! He's definitely the most handsome guy in the LPL.]

[Ahhh, I'm also near Wanda Plaza! Could you tell me which Haidilao it is? Is it too late for me to get there by taxi?]

[Same question, could you please give me the exact location, sister? I just want to take a look from afar and won't bother you!]

The atmosphere within the EDG team is really great; everyone is smiling so happily, they seem genuinely joyful.

As more and more people inquired about the specific address, the short-haired girl who initially posted the Weibo message calmed down after her initial elation and remembered Abu's instruction not to disturb other guests.

Besides, I took the photos myself, so why should I care about other people?
Moreover, while everyone else took group photos, he took a solo photo with Unreal Engine.

Let those people be envious.

Thank you everyone for your support. I won't reveal the exact location, as the team members are exhausted after the match and are having a celebratory meal. We won't disturb them; they'll definitely appreciate everyone's kindness! Let's all look forward to the finals!

Despite seeing such high-sounding words, these fans were still very angry.

So you took the photos and now you're telling everyone not to bother you? But you should still maintain a respectable demeanor. After all, if someone doesn't want to talk, are you going to force them through the internet?

[These sisters have great values! Support them; not disturbing them is the best respect.] [Understandable, let them celebrate! We'll support them online!]

[Sob sob, but I'm so envious!]

However, the speed at which information spreads on the internet is astonishing.

Although not explicitly stated, the keywords "Shanghai Wanda Plaza", "EDG celebration", and "Haidilao" are accurate enough.

Some fans who live nearby or also dine in the same mall have begun to quietly pinpoint the specific store based on details such as the background decorations in the photos.

Gradually, figures began to appear around the Haidilao restaurant, almost surrounding EDG's two tables.

Inside the store, the EDG team members also vaguely noticed the increased attention they were receiving and the change in atmosphere.

Mouse lowered her voice and said to Meiko next to her, "Tanno, I feel like there are more people watching us now..."

“Normally, when we eat in the lobby, they can see us. Just eat quickly, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

Abu, being an experienced manager, noticed that although no one was bothering them for the time being, the number of onlookers was indeed increasing.

He checked the time, then looked at the almost completely empty dishes on the table, and decided it was about time.

"Guys, are you almost done eating?" Abu clapped his hands. "We still have training and debriefing tomorrow, so let's call it a day and head back to get some rest, okay?"

Although the team members were still eager for more, they knew their limits and nodded in agreement.

"Once we win the championship in the finals, we'll go to the mansion for an even more amazing meal."

"Waiter, pay the bill!"

After paying the bill, the entire EDG team stood up to leave.

Their actions immediately caused a small commotion around them; the clicking of cell phones became more frequent, accompanied by suppressed excited conversations.

I never expected to run into EDG offline...

It's perfect!

Today, coming to watch the game not only allows us to witness the victory, but also gives us the opportunity to get up close and take photos.

Everyone maintained polite smiles and, under the careful guidance of Abu and the staff, quickly walked towards the door.

"EDG come on!"

Good luck in the finals!

"Unreal, you're so handsome!"

Some fans couldn't help but shout it out.

They were afraid that if they were surrounded, they would walk even faster.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after boarding the bus.

"Wow, see that! That's the charm of Brother Fan. All these girls are here for you. It feels like you have more female fans than male fans." The factory manager was startled.

"Yes, yes, we've never had this happen when we eat hot pot at Haidilao before. Ever since Brother Fan came, things have changed. We have to find a private room to eat here."

"Their popularity is explosive. When I took photos with them, I was scared by the way they looked at me. They really looked like they wanted to eat me alive."

"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? I'm only seventeen, what can I possibly do?"

“Yes, you really have to be careful with this kind of thing. Tianye almost got scammed before. When Zita was seventeen, he ran into a woman ten years older than him and he was completely out of sorts. Ruofeng used to be a headache when he saw him, but he was able to play it safe online. Now look at Zita, how pathetic he is.” The factory manager’s expression became serious as he said this.

"There are still too many bad women out there!"

Seeing this expression, Li Fan couldn't help but think of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

The factory manager was scammed out of 100 yuan in an online romance scam...

"I know." Seeing the factory manager's serious expression, he nodded repeatedly.

At LGD's base, although there were no playoff games to play, they were very excited because they had successfully defeated YM in the promotion/relegation match that had just ended, thus retaining their LPL spot.

Now that there's no more promotion or relegation, we can finally relax and enjoy ourselves.

Only Wei Shen and Imp were sitting in front of the computer in the training room; everyone else had long since disappeared.

However, Wei Shen's screen wasn't displaying the League of Legends client, but rather the PUBG game interface. He had just finished a solo match and won, but his brow was slightly furrowed, as if he were deep in thought.

Successfully avoiding relegation was a relief for him, and a way of repaying the team for their kindness in recognizing his talent.

At this moment, the seed of PUBG in his heart is rapidly sprouting, and he wants to completely transform... into a PUBG player.

Huya Live has announced the upcoming Huya Bounty Tournament, which presents him with an excellent opportunity.

Building a competitive PUBG team, catching the first wave of this competition, and making a name for himself are what he urgently wants to do now.

Aruka has made it clear that he is interested in making the transition together, but a complete team needs four people.

He was somewhat worried about who would fill the other two positions.

If a suitable person cannot be found, then the only option is to temporarily join the club for this competition.

However, this will still affect subsequent development.

I was aimlessly scrolling through Weibo, hoping to find a suitable streamer for PUBG...

Suddenly, a Weibo post with popular hashtags such as "EDG", "Unreal", and "group photo with Haidilao" caught his eye.

When Wei Shen clicked on it, he saw photos and discussions of the entire EDG team being spotted by fans at Haidilao.

“Li Fan…Unreal…” Wei Shen murmured to himself.

This is an absolute genius in PUBG. I have also visited Li Fan's live stream many times and learned a lot from him.

If you can be teammates with someone, this team is ridiculously strong.

It has a very good development momentum...

The problem is, he's a rising star in League of Legends.

Having watched Unreal's performance in the game, I can only say that they played incredibly well, with almost no flaws.

If I had to say something, it would be that they are too young, so young that they lack experience.

As for the online claims that not training leads to a decline in performance, he still leans more towards the idea that someone is a natural talent.

True geniuses have their own ways of maintaining their touch even without training.

Just like me, I've been completely addicted to PUBG lately. I haven't played any training matches or ranked games, and my rank has dropped to Diamond III. But in the promotion/relegation matches, I still managed to crush Knight, who is known as the Golden Left Hand and is now the number one player in the Korean server.

What's the point of training so much? As long as the person is strong, that's enough.

Wei Shen shook his head; such a thing was actually somewhat unrealistic.

They don't even play scrims in League of Legends, but they'll play scrims when they join a PUBG main team?

And will they come?
EDG would never allow Li Fan to participate in these messy competitions.

That’s not right either…

He participated in the QQ Speed ​​SSC Spring Tournament before the semi-finals.

It's a bit abstract overall.

"Yeah... EDG doesn't seem to care much about his hobbies..." Wei Shen's eyes grew brighter and brighter. "As long as he can carry in LPL matches and doesn't miss scrims, the club seems to be open to him playing other games?"

If Li Fan participates in Huya's bounty tournament as an individual or in a temporary team, the possibility of EDG's management agreeing to it seems not to be zero.

After all, this can bring additional popularity and attention to players and clubs.

As long as you have time to play in crucial matches, you can just find a substitute for other games.

More importantly, Li Fan is no longer an unknown figure in the PUBG community.

His Unreal ID is a well-known name in high-level games and among streamers.

The pressure of fighting Li Fan is immense. Many times, even when he makes the first move to ambush, he is killed by the opponent instead. Wei Shen also deeply understands that feeling of helplessness.

"Everyone who has fought him says he's a monster..."

Wei Shen murmured, "If we can really bring him over, even if it's just for this bounty tournament, our team's strength and popularity will be at their peak!"

If Li Fan can join, with his strength and reputation, wouldn't it be a natural progression to attract one or two more strong players to join him?

Without further hesitation, Wei Shen immediately opened WeChat and found the factory manager he rarely contacted.

"exist?"
