We promised to win the championship together, so why did you all retire?

Around 6 PM, the newly registered official account of RG Electronic Club officially released a statement.

[RG Esports Club Personnel Change Announcement]:

Following active communication and friendly negotiations with TheShy, we are very pleased to announce that:

Effective immediately, champion top laner Jiang Chenglu (ID: TheShy) @RG-TheShy has officially joined the League of Legends division of RG Esports Club as the top laner.

He stood tall in the canyon, once breaking through the enemy lines with a single sword and rewriting the landscape of the top lane;

Riding across thousands of mountains, we embark on a new journey with the ambition to reach the pinnacle.

From the golden rain of Incheon to every battlefield thereafter, you have always defined the art and aesthetics of the road with the most blazing edge.

Welcome TheShy to the RG family!

At 19:30 this afternoon, we will be hosting a live stream for fans who care about TheShy. Please wait for further announcements regarding the specific live stream address.

The glory of the past still shines, and a new chapter is slowly unfolding.

Let us join hands and move towards the future, break through the barriers together, and overcome the current impasse!

#RG Officially Announces TheShy Joining##TheShy Joins RG#

Because they had already communicated with TheShy's team, TheShy made a rare appearance on his official Weibo account, which he rarely uses.

On one hand, they forwarded RG Club's official announcement, and on the other hand, they posted a very short message.

[RG.Theshy: I've joined RG, everyone can come and see me]

"How is it?"

TheShy scratched his head and sent out this message, then looked at Bai Liang in front of him with some anticipation.

Bai Liang: ……

Well, how should I put it?

It gives people a subtle sense of human-machine interaction.

However, considering that this guy's Chinese is completely broken, it's understandable.

Bai Liang gave a thumbs up:

"Not bad, your Chinese has improved. I thought you were going to type in pinyin."

Three years ago, this Weibo post would definitely have been in pinyin.

Even though I wasn't very attentive to my studies, I'm still much better than before.

TheShy smiled smugly.

But they didn't even notice why Bai Liang said his Chinese had improved.

The two chatted while waiting for the staff to prepare the equipment needed for the live broadcast.

Although it was supposed to be casual conversation, it was actually Bai Liang asking more questions.

"Weren't you on vacation? Why are you here so early?"

"Going back would be boring; I have no friends there. I have many friends here."

TheShy thought for a moment and then added:

"The food over there isn't very good either."

A hint of reminiscence flickered in Bai Liang's eyes. "It was alright, the spicy stir-fried rice cakes were alright."

Theshy's eyes lit up: "You like it too? What about the pot?"

He's been in the LPL for so many years, his stomach has long since deteriorated, and there aren't many Korean foods he can still tolerate now.

Spicy stir-fried rice cakes are his favorite.

Bai Liang shook his head. "No, that's not it. I've only ever eaten this."

He added in his mind:

You're the one who treated us to the food.

After the Spring Finals in 18, Bai Liang went to South Korea with TheShy for a few days and stayed at his house.

Despite TheShy's mother's apparent love of money, their family is actually quite wealthy.

Fun fact: TheShy studied piano.

This is something that most middle-class families can't afford.

In South Korea, a piano lesson lasting about 3 hours cost around 2,000 RMB.

Even with a minimum of seven or eight classes a month, the expenses already exceed ten thousand yuan.

Saying they are all South Korean chaebols is definitely an exaggeration, but they are certainly not ordinary middle-class people.

What's rather strange is that TheShy seems to have a particular fondness for street food.

Spicy stir-fried rice cakes, Shin Ramyun, seaweed and tofu soup, and the like.

At that time, the dish I ate most with Bai Liang and the others was spicy stir-fried rice cake.

It's also fortunate that spicy food isn't so easy to get tired of.

Otherwise, this wouldn't be the Korean food that Bai Liang can accept the most, but rather the Korean food he hates the most.

Since we've already come this far—

Bai Liang could already guess what TheShy would say next.

"I brought some Shin Ramyun."

"This one is also quite delicious."

Bai Liang smiled and nodded.

Sure enough, this guy still has the same old hobbies.

He was somewhat pleased.

Although three years have passed.

Although TheShy didn't know him at all before.

but……

Not much difference, is there?

My best buddy from back then is still the same guy.

Bai Liang was very happy to see TheShy like this.

This at least shows that he might not be as lonely as he thought.

Even though he had been in this world for some time, Bai Liang still had trouble falling asleep.

Sometimes, when the night is still and quiet, looking out the window at the dimly lit Shanghai, Bai Liang's mood inevitably sinks into depression.

Ultimately, he was just a teenager.

Most of the friends he used to know no longer recognize him.

Sometimes he would think:

What is the purpose of my coming here?

Why did you throw me into this unfamiliar world?

It only takes one bad day for an ordinary person to become a clown.

Bai Liang's ability to remain so emotionally stable even now is, to put it bluntly, largely due to the loss of his parents when he was young.

Only those who have truly endured setbacks can stand tall and face adversity with renewed vigor.

He didn't lose to life back then.

The same applies now.

"Mr. Bai? Mr. Bai?"

A hesitant call came from beside him, and the anxiety in Bai Liang's eyes gradually subsided. He came back to his senses and looked at Chen Ye in front of him.

"Ready?"

"Yes, we've even prepared a script to go through the process, take a look..."

"No, that's not necessary. It's just about playing games and getting to know the fans."

Bai Liang shook his head.

Chen Ye is indeed very thoughtful, but it's unnecessary.

The purpose of this live stream was simply to let TheShy's fans know he was safe.

It's enough that they see TheShy.

Making a big deal out of a process can actually make people feel annoyed.

Chen Ye nodded without saying anything more. After confirming that the equipment was working properly, he led the two to the computer where the live streaming equipment had been set up.

"How much longer?"

"About fifteen minutes."

Bai Liang and TheShy each turned on their computers and logged into their Chinese server accounts.

There's not much to say about whether the stream will be on the Korean server or the Chinese server.

Since it's a live stream aimed at a domestic audience, we definitely need to use a Chinese server account.

What's more, TheShy hasn't played his Korean server account for over half a month, and his rank has dropped to Diamond I.

Account trading is not officially permitted in the Korean version of the game.

Even professional players can only have one account, which indirectly prevents them from smurfing or cheating.

Bai Liang will also be playing professionally in the future, so it's impossible for him to duo queue with TheShy using his smurf account.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if someone took a screenshot and it turned out to be different from the Korean server account you use later.

The account used will definitely be banned.

As for why we don't use the larger size?

The main account can't queue with TheShy.

His main account was already a Master, and a few days ago, after he reached Grandmaster in the Chinese server, he also reached Grandmaster in the Korean server.

A Diamond 1 can be ranked alongside a Master, but not alongside a Grandmaster.

That's very troublesome.

As soon as I logged in and added TheShy as a friend, an invitation popped up in the upper right corner.

【qwerasdf987】invites you to join 【Arctic Brawl】

【√】【X】

Bai Liang's lips twitched.

As expected of you.

TheShy, standing next to him, blinked twice, looking at him expectantly.

"Come?"

"……walk slowly."
