She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

That's the logic.

I never imagined that a casual, mischievous act would have such a big impact.

“Ms. Elsa, please stop for a moment and tell me the exact release date of the trailer,” Su Mu interrupted her.

269. I like it very much.

"12 noon today... sorry, that's midnight in your area. Anyway, it's a unified announcement from the official global community, and we've already started distributing the materials."

Su Mu nodded, "Understood, I will find a suitable time to cooperate with the publicity."

The rest of the call was uneventful, consisting mainly of congratulations to WLD on securing a spot in the World Championship. After a brief chat about the filming schedule for the official version, Elsa hung up the international call.

Standing on the balcony, Su Mu glanced at the bustling city below, its lights dappled with the traffic, then casually put his phone back in his pocket and returned to the meeting room.

After briefly explaining the caller and the content of the call to everyone, we moved on to the debriefing session.

Every match record is valuable. In gaming terms, it's like summarizing after clearing a dungeon, identifying mistakes and inconsistencies during the challenge, making improvements accordingly, or serving as a wake-up call to avoid repeating the same mistakes in future challenges.

WLD's journey from an unknown small team to where it is today is certainly inseparable from the outstanding individual skills of Su Mu and Bai Wei, but without the coaching staff's reasonable schedule and training plan, and without the players' tireless self-discipline day after day, they would never have made it this far.

When professional players are ranked on the international server, the match history in the special training mode section is hidden by default. However, one statistic is clearly marked.

That is the total number of games played.

In other words, nobody knows what you're practicing in training mode, but they do know how many games you've played recently.

Someone has compiled statistics on the number of ranked games played by all LPL professional players in the past month. The combined number of ranked games played by the five WLD players has exceeded 2500, which means an average of 500 games per player.

Su Mu accounted for 647 of them.

An average of 500 games per month might not seem like much, but when compared to other teams, WLD players have the highest number of ranked games played among all 17 LPL teams.

Not everyone pays attention to this data, so they don't quite understand why WLD was able to reach the finals, even though they weren't ranked in the top two in the regular season.

However, those who understand the saying "Heaven rewards diligence" know that WLD's success today is not solely due to tricks, nor is it solely due to Su Mu and Bai Wei exploiting information gaps.

The great inventor Thomas Edison once said that genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration.

Effort doesn't guarantee success, but without effort, nothing is guaranteed.

It was a little past 11:30 p.m.

Liu Keke closed her laptop.

"That concludes the recap. We'll rest and watch the game tomorrow."

“Why don’t we continue training…” Bai Wei hesitated. “We’re almost at the finals, one more day won’t make a difference.”

The others, upon hearing this, expressed no objection.

Su Mu didn't really care; she knew that Liu Keke's suggestion was actually better.

"You said it yourself, it won't make a difference if we have to do it today, so don't worry. Watching our potential opponents in the finals play is much more effective than training."

Liu Keke smiled and added while turning off the conference room projection.

"Watching from God's perspective once gives you a preliminary impression. If you review it the next day, you might see many things that you couldn't see the first time. So tomorrow, even training will have to be decided by you yourselves in the evening. You'll have to watch the game during the day."

Since things had come to this point, Bai Wei nodded in agreement.

"Dismissed. Although we're not playing tomorrow's match, don't stay up too late."

"Our sisters' self-discipline is unquestionable, Coco, you can relax~ Time to go take a bath~~"

Deng Jiayu, with her pigtails swinging, skipped and hopped, and was the first to push open the door and leave.

……

Back in his room, Su Mu, having received permission from Liu Keke to livestream, posted a message on both Weibo and Bilibili.

[Hey guys, keep an eye on the official LOL account for updates at 12 o'clock, there might be something fun coming up!]

After finishing, I opened the wardrobe, took out my pajamas, and went into the bathroom.

It was more than ten minutes later when I wiped my wet hair and walked out of the room, with not much time left until midnight.

Bai Wei, who had arrived at some point, sat on the edge of the bed and was immediately captivated by Su Mu's fresh and clean appearance after his bath.

"Let me blow-dry your hair."

"Okay."

Su Mu smiled and casually unplugged the hair dryer hanging on the wall.

He walked over to Bai Wei, bent down to plug in the bedside socket, then sat down on the edge of the bed in front of Bai Wei, picked up the phone next to him, and let Bai Wei play with her hair.

"I wonder how well Riot Games' teaser MV turned out."

“It should be fine, hmm… I should ask Elsa for a copy of the materials in advance.” Su Mu looked at the laptop not far away. “Wait a moment, darling, I’ll bring the laptop and portable table over and start a live stream.”

Just as everything was ready and Su Mu was about to click to stream, he suddenly remembered something.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Wei knew what Su Mu was doing on the live stream, but she didn't understand why Su Mu suddenly reached out to touch her chest.

Su Mu remained silent, buttoned up the undone buttons on Bai Wei's collar, then cupped her face and kissed her.

"Of course, it's to prevent accidental exposure. Only I can take care of my Weiwei."

The slightly domineering declaration of sovereignty made Bai Wei's eyes involuntarily narrow into crescents, and two small dimples appeared on her cheeks.

How would you describe Mu Mu's possessive little actions...?

I like it.

I love it so much!

The live stream started, and fans who had been constantly pressing F5 on the official account's homepage because of Su Mu's updates suddenly received a notification that the streamer had started broadcasting. (Strange)

The fans were stunned for a moment when they heard the familiar notification tone. After confirming they hadn't misheard or misread, they eagerly clicked into the live stream.

Upon seeing the two girls almost face-to-face, the live chat erupted in celebration.

[Wuhu~ Mu Ge and Wei Jie's pajama skins are back for a limited time!]

[Was Sister Wei helping Brother Mu blow-dry his hair? She's so considerate in private, I'm totally smitten!]

【No need to ask, you can tell just by listening to the sound of the hairdryer. By the way, Brother Mu's pajamas are a bit small. I am not very good at clothing design, do you want me to make a few for you by hand?】

The abacus beads have all gone to the sky.

[Brother Mu really doesn't treat his sisters like outsiders. He suspects that the buttons on Erlingwu O Jiuliu Jiuqun's collar will burst open because they can't withstand the pressure. Ah... my sister cried uncontrollably and shed a lot of tears.]

Is the younger sister you mentioned a decent person?

Can you hold off on generating electricity for now? Is Mu-ge going to start streaming to see what Riot Games will release at 12 o'clock?

"Yes, that's right," Su Mu said with a smile.

"What exactly is it? Hmm, there are only two minutes left before it's released, so I'll keep you in suspense for now, my friends, don't worry."

"Actually, I only know what was being released, but I don't know how well it was done later."

[Brother Mu, could you give me a general idea of ​​the direction? This wouldn't violate any rules, would it?]

"It's related to music."

Oh open?

These words surprised the fans in the live stream, reminding them of Su Mu's other identity besides being a professional esports player—

The runner-up on the surface is actually the undisputed champion.

270. Fearless

Could it be that they've partnered with Riot Games on a music project?

"You guessed right, this viewer is smart."

[A generous gift of crab, this is quite impressive!]

What else can we say? It just goes to show that Riot Games finally remembered that Mu's secondary profession is musician!

[Don't you even look at the video data of Mu Ge and Wei Jie's live performance on the beach? The total number of plays for those songs across the internet has already exceeded one billion, and the average person has listened to them on repeat countless times. It's really amazing. It's only natural for Riot Games to seek cooperation, okay?]

Indeed, none of the new generation in the vast Chinese music scene can compete. Even the champion works of Music Channel after Mu Ge and Wei Jie are not as good as "Sunny Day".

There are a few songs that sound okay, but they pale in comparison to Mu Ge's works.

It's a pity that the official recordings of those songs from the beach live performance weren't uploaded, otherwise they might have won an award like "Chasing Dreams"!

While fans were discussing it enthusiastically, they couldn't help but wonder what the music that Riot Games asked Su Mu and her team to collaborate on had to do with.

Composing music for derivative film and television IPs?

That seems to be the most likely explanation.

No one really thought about the theme song, since many esports games don't have that tradition.

As midnight approached, the number of viewers in the live stream had already surpassed 12 million and was still rising.

Many fans open the page by the second, refreshing it immediately at 12 o'clock to find that the official account has posted a new video right on time, and immediately look at the title.

[League of Legends S1 World Championship Theme Song MV Teaser - Fearless]

Most people didn't expect it to be like this.

The view shifts to the video cover, which features a general standing upright, holding a long spear, with a solemn expression, and clad in silver armor exuding an unstoppable aura.

The background appears to be a mountain peak, with tattered weapons and armor faintly visible along the mountain path, as well as dark red, indescribable debris.

The general's gaze wasn't directed at the focused camera, yet it still created an immersive experience for the viewer.

What a handsome Chinese-style general!

It's quite a surprise that Riot Games would use ancient Chinese elements as the background. For LPL fans, this is a real treat.

When attention turned to the introduction and it was discovered that Su Mu was the sole composer and arranger, people were surprised and their curiosity was piqued.

There's a saying in the music industry: anything produced by Su Mu is guaranteed to be a masterpiece.

Some fans couldn't wait to click play, while others faithfully waited in Su Mu's live stream, urging her to play it, wanting to know what made this piece so amazing.

"Alright, let's start playing." Su Mu clicked the mouse.

The first thing that catches the eye is a blood-red wasteland, with several black crows seemingly feeding around a rotting carcass.

A few seconds later, footsteps that seemed to echo deep within one's soul approached from afar, and a long spear stained with black and red appeared in the frame without warning, followed by a pair of combat boots stained with similar colors.

Anyone who has seen similar scenes in movies or TV shows knows that the black and red color is not dye, but blood that has been exposed for some time.

The perspective gradually rises from low to high, revealing more of the surrounding environment.

Looking around, all that could be seen were the mangled remains of various races lying on the ground, many of which had turned into blood-stained bones.

Around these remains and skeletons, there were also many strangely shaped but familiar weapons, clothing, and protective gear. Many people looked thoughtful when they saw these weapons, and then their eyes suddenly widened.

Those... seem to be the guys who make a living off some of the heroes in League of Legends.

The cawing of crows rose and fell, and a foul wind swept across the land, making the tattered armor hanging on withered trees or broken weapons rustle, creating a rather eerie atmosphere.

When the camera fully focused on the person holding the spear, the audience realized that the man was the general on the cover.

The general strode forward with firm steps, his profile reflecting a resolute and fearless expression, heading towards the towering peak that was out of sight of the camera.

Ten seconds later, a melody seamlessly blended in.

The general stopped, stared at the mountain peak for two seconds, then slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the scene in his field of vision had changed drastically.

Countless illusory yet familiar figures are rushing fearlessly toward the giant peak, fighting against powerful unidentified creatures along the way, without retreating even a step, and without any fear whatsoever.

Those figures are easily recognizable as some of the League of Legends champions.

Witnessing this scene, many people even believe that the general in the picture is one of the new heroes of the future.

[The crab is a generous gift; the image quality and the realism of the special effects are amazing...]

The background music is so tragic! Listening to it gives me a sense of destiny that I will die tragically on the road ahead, just like those heroes!

The musician said that the background music didn't sound like the beginning, but rather like the edited middle and later climax.

Before the audience could continue to express their thoughts, the image of the general on the screen flashed by rapidly, contracted, and finally settled on the general's face.

The background music also paused in sync.

Such a close-up look revealed to many that the general's features were almost identical to Su Mu's.
