E-sports News: "Yexian jungler Chi Ruanfan (ID: Chi Fei) won the FMVP. This is also the third FMVP in Chi Ruanfan's career!"
"Three crowns and three FMVPs, he is the eternal god of this era!"
Shock Department: "Shock! The man said this and the whole audience burst into tears!"
News Editor: "In the finals, three-time FMVP Chi Ruanfan suddenly announced his retirement. I was shocked. What happened? Come and find out with me."
…
"I'm leaving, you guys have fun tonight."
In the players' lounge, Chi Ruanfan picked up his peripheral bag and said goodbye to a room full of team members.
"Captain Chi, let's send you to the hospital first." A teammate wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and stepped forward to take over Chi Ruanfan's peripheral bag.
Captain Chi Ruanfan would retire after this game, a decision known to all the players. But when the time came to part, they were still reluctant to let him go.
"No, you guys go celebrate your victory," Chi Ruanfan refused with a smile, and said, "Jinzhu will accompany me to the hospital."
Chi Ruanfan is 22 years old this year, which is the prime of his life for ordinary people, but in the professional circle, he is already an "old man".
During his five-year professional career, Chi Ruanfan suffered many occupational injuries.
The biggest reason for his retirement this time is that his waist injury is serious and he has to stop training and cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
After hearing Chi Ruanfan mention Jinzhu, the captain of the Chaoge team, several teammates became even more worried.
"In the previous match, Brother Chi, you caught Jinzhu's gunsmith seven times. If you go out again, I'm afraid he and the Chaoge players will put you in a sack."
The Chaoge team is the runner-up of tonight’s finals and is also the biggest backdrop for their victory.
In fact, the relationship between Yexian and Chaoge teams is very good, mainly because the captains of the two teams, Chi Ruanfan and Jinzhu, are close friends.
But there is only one champion in the competition, and only one team can win in the end.
"I just hope they can be gentler on me because I'm injured."
Chi Ruanfan walked to the door, took a last look at his teammates who had been with him for several years, put on his hat, waved, and walked away.
Three championships in three years, three FMVPs. For a professional player, this is already a perfect ending. There is nothing to be sad about.
In November, the night temperature in S City has reached 5°C, which is a bit cold.
Chi Ruanfan put his hands in his coat pockets and walked out of the noisy competition venue. He saw a straight white figure standing in front of a luxury car.
It was Jinzhu, his biggest rival and best friend.
Seeing Chi Ruanfan appear, Jinzhu, who was wearing a white team uniform, stepped forward, took the peripheral bag from him, and said, "I told you to wear so little, you must be cold, right?"
"It's okay. Aren't you here to pick me up?" Chi Ruanfan smiled.
The two walked down the steps side by side, their black and white uniforms touching.
Yexian and Chaoge, the two teams are in conflict with each other in the color of their uniforms.
But when the captains of the two teams walked together, there was a different kind of harmony.
Chi Ruanfan did not forget to look around as he walked.
Jinzhu saw him looking around and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Find your teammates and see where they will rush up from to put me in the sack." Chi Ruanfan said bluntly.
Jinzhu laughed helplessly and said, "They all went to a dinner party, saying they wanted to turn their grief and anger into appetite."
He opened the car door for Chi Ruanfan and got in from the other side.
"What about you?" Chi Ruanfan asked, "Why are you going to turn your grief and anger into something?"
Jinzhu turned her head to look at Chi Ruanfan.
The warm light coming in from the window sprinkled on Chi Ruanfan's newly dyed blonde hair. There was a sequin between the soft hair that reflected the light. It was the sequin that floated down from the top of the arena when the Yexian team won the championship.
It is a golden rain that falls specially for the champions.
Team Yexian is the champion of tonight, and Chi Ruanfan, the fMVP, is the most dazzling star tonight.
Chi Ruanfan moved back cautiously, "I have no problem opening a room for 1v1, but I refuse real-person PK."
Jinzhu reached out and took off the golden sequins stuck in her hair.
Then, under Chi Ruanfan's blank gaze, she took out a thermos box from the back and stuffed it into his hand. Jinzhu said, "Porridge, fill your stomach."
Chi Ruanfan looked Jinzhu up and down, and was relieved after confirming that the other party would not compete with him in person in the car.
After opening the lid and seeing the yam porridge inside, Chi Ruanfan said with a smile:
"You know my preferences well. What kind of food do Chaoyang and his friends buy every day?"
The car started smoothly.
As the machine started, Jinzhu whispered, "If you like, we can..."
Chi Ruanfan drank his porridge while waiting for his next words.
"… What are your plans after you retire?" Jinzhu changed the subject.
Chi Ruanfan thought for a while and said, "I will recover from this injury first, and then I may return to the team as a coach, or I may raise birds at home and become a game anchor.
"What about you? What are your plans? Going back to inherit the billions of dollars?"
"I… "
Jinzhu's voice was too soft, Chi Ruanfan couldn't hear it clearly, so he wanted to move closer to listen.
As soon as he moved, the slightly dim interior of the car was suddenly illuminated by white light.
Chi Ruanfan turned his head and looked forward, only to see a dazzling white light covering his vision.
Beep—
Bang!!!
With a loud crash, all sounds stopped abruptly.
…
The pain spread throughout every inch of his nerves. Chi Ruanfan's muscles were tense, trembling slightly, and his breathing was rapid.
His fingers on the table moved, and his ten fingers gradually curled up.
The moment his fingertips touched the palm of his hand, Chi Ruanfan suddenly stood up.
"Huff..."
The sunlight shining into the room made my eyes feel uncomfortable as I just opened them.
Chi Ruanfan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the furnishings in front of him in a daze.
Computer, keyboard, desk, and his intact hands and body...
Didn't a truck hit us
He is actually okay
What about the brocade bamboo
Chi Ruanfan turned his neck stiffly and looked around.
There was no one in the house except him.
What's even stranger is that the layout of this room is exactly the same as the shabby little house he rented a few years ago.
Even the computer keyboard is the same one from a few years ago.
Is this... a prank
Or maybe there was something wrong with his brain
Chi Ruanfan looked at the closed door and was about to go out to find out what was going on when he heard a short "beep beep" sound.
Chi Ruanfan was very familiar with this sound; it was the countdown sound effect of "Infinite Tower Defense" when it was the player's turn and the player was waiting for confirmation to enter the game.
Looking back at the computer, the screen showed the player matching page of "Infinite Tower Defense". Nine players had been confirmed, and he was the only one left.
As a 5v5 tower-destroying game, as long as one player fails to confirm entering the game, it will be judged as a match failure and will be re-matched.
Chi Ruanfan originally didn't intend to pay attention, but the avatar of one of the players looked too much like Jinzhu's.
—A white color that never changes for ten thousand years.
However, we have to enter the game to confirm whether it is Jinzhu.
Chi Ruanfan moved the mouse and clicked to confirm.
With a "beep", the career selection interface of "Infinite Tower Defense" appeared on the screen.
Chi Ruanfan looked at the ID above his teammate’s head.
The ID on the first floor is "Chao Ge-Jin Yi", and there is a professional player's mark in the upper right corner.
This is definitely Jinzhu’s professional account.
"Is it really a prank?" Chi Ruanfan was puzzled and relieved at the same time.
He leaned back in his chair, flexed his fingers, turned on the microphone and said:
"Master Jinyi, this game depends on you to lead the team."
The back of the chair only reaches the waist, which makes Chi Ruanfan, who is used to sitting on high-back gaming chairs, feel a little uncomfortable.
I don't know who arranged this prank, but in order to play a trick on him, they actually got the same model of chair he had a few years ago. It was really troublesome.
Inside the Chaoge team's training room.
The stern-faced young man locked the gunsmith's name, and then he heard a clear, pure, and somewhat lazy voice coming from the headphones. He couldn't help but paused.
Very nice sound.
The content of the words was rarely sarcastic or mocking.
The Chaoge team's performance this year was very poor, and the outside world was full of doubts.
It's not easy to meet a peaceful fan.
The boy whispered, "Well, lie down, I'll take you flying."
Listening to the sound from the computer speaker, Chi Ruanfan rubbed his ears.
It was Jinzhu's voice for sure, but why did it feel like something was different
Seems a little more immature
Before Chi Ruanfan could figure it out, he heard a sneer.
"Tsk, the Chaoge team can only carry the flying equipment level 13 in the ranking."
The one who spoke was the fire magician on the second floor.
Chi Ruanfan raised his eyebrows slightly.
In the world finals, the Chaoge team lost to the Yexian team.
But a world runner-up means that he can only pretend in the rankings? What kind of logic is this
Chi Ruanfan was still waiting to win without doing anything, but he couldn't bear to see his big brother get angry and leave, so he smiled and said:
"I wonder where the brothers on the second floor usually fly? Simple man-machine?"
"... I don't bother to tell you these empty words!" The fire mage on the second floor temporarily shut up.
"Okay, let's see the truth in the game."
Chi Ruanfan also turned off his microphone. He slid the mouse, ready to choose a career suitable for lying down.
However, Chi Ruanfan flipped through the career selection page twice, but still didn’t see the white color he was looking for.
Strange, where is the light elf
Chi Ruanfan didn't think too much about it. Since he didn't see the light elf, he chose the time messenger as the second best option.
Entering the game, Chi Ruanfan manipulated the time messenger to leave the birth point.
Energy towers inlaid with blue crystals and gorgeous and warm red maple trees all come into view.
Chi Ruanfan looked left and right, completely confused. "When did the scene map change?"
Blue crystals and red maple trees are both game elements before season 7.
"What was the game planner thinking? After so many changes, they ended up back to the first version." Chi Ruanfan put his doubts aside for the time being and controlled the time messenger to enter the woods.
Chi Ruanfan had just placed an eye of vision in the grass by the river when he saw the fire mage in the middle lane's health dropping rapidly.
I switched my vision and took a look. Wow, the fire mage was being beaten by the opponent's formation mage while clearing a line.
He is worthy of being the man who can lead the team in a simple man-machine game.
Chi Ruanfan gave a retreat signal, but he didn't expect that the low-health fire mage would neither advance nor retreat, but instead stood in the opposite magic circle and fought with the formation mage.
"The formation master has the blessing of magic formation, how can your little fireball defeat the opponent?" Chi Ruanfan glanced at Jinzhu who was 1v2 in the bottom lane, turned around and went to the middle lane to clean up.
Xiaoyuai Chimao (Formation Master) killed Luanma (Fire Mage) and got the first blood.
The fire mage sacrificed the first drop of blood, and the formation master retreated back to the energy tower.
"The opposing formation master must be cheating. He lost so much blood with just one hit." The fire mage who was lying on the ground waiting to be resurrected began to doubt his life.
The Paladin on the top lane said on the microphone: "Face the reality, you are a noob."
Fire Mage: "I... I brought the wrong skill!"
Paladin: "You suck."
Fire Mage: "I*&#"
While the Fire Mage was busy with the voice chat with the Paladin, Chi Ruanfan quietly collected the remaining soldiers in the middle lane and upgraded his Time Messenger to level 2.
The Time Messenger turned nimbly, dodged the magic circle cast by the enemy magician, entered the woods, and headed towards the lower road.
On the main road in the bottom lane, Jinzhu's gunner had just taken down the last enemy ranged soldier and was currently suppressing two opponents alone.
The soldiers entered the tower. Chi Ruanfan looked at the opponent's health and position and thought he could fight. He turned on the microphone and said:
"Let's go together."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Ruanfan tapped the keyboard and applied acceleration to himself and the gunsmith next to him.
The gunner, in accelerated state, went straight into the tower, raised his gun and fired, instantly killing the low-health elf shooter.
Chi Ruanfan's time messenger arrived later, and the two of them cooperated to kill the opposing priest together.
Chaoge-Jinyi (Gunsmith) killed Xiaomaobuchiyu (Elf Archer).
Chaoge-Jinyi (Gunsmith) killed the C position of Don’t Touch Me (Priest) and got a double kill.
Chi Ruanfan was a little surprised. He originally planned to keep only the elf archer, but he didn't expect that the priest could be taken away too.
Is the Gunner's damage so explosive? What kind of equipment did Jinzhu have
Just as he was thinking for a moment, a kill message came from the middle lane again.
The fire mage was killed by the opposing formation master again.
The fire mage shouted, "Time messenger, follow me!"
Chi Ruanfan chuckled, "I only cling to the great god's thighs, and yours has been amputated by the opposing formation master."
Jinzhu felt her ears getting hot for some reason as she listened to the laughter coming from the headphones.
I wanted to take off my headphones to get some fresh air, but as soon as my hand touched the headphones, I put them back.
Finally, Jinzhu just said quietly: "Follow me, you will definitely win."
