Volume 1: An Era Chapter 1: There is a purpose in the dark
"If I am guilty, please let the law punish me instead of letting these people torture me..."
At the entrance of the Internet cafe, Li Nian, who had been working all night, squatted next to his old electric bike and looked up at the sky.
The seat of the electric bike seemed to have endured violence that it shouldn't have endured at this age. It clanged weakly beside the side, and the new battery that Li Nian had just replaced not long ago had disappeared without a trace.
hiss……
After squatting for a long time, Li Nian stood up silently and pushed the electric bike home. The burden of staying up all night made Li Nian's brain a little dizzy.
Li Nian muttered as he walked.
"Forget it, don't be angry, forget it, be gentle, forget it, don't curse, forget it, don't lose your temper, forget it, I have a very good attitude, forget it... killing is against the law."
"Forget it, they are all idiots anyway."
After reciting this set of words, Li Nian straightened his back.
Much more comfortable.
Li Nian, 32 years old this year, is an office worker, single, does not drink, smokes occasionally, and his only form of entertainment is to surf the Internet in an Internet cafe.
Simple.
But not happy.
Li Nian has never experienced the time when he had friends but no money to go online, because he never had any playmates of the same age who shared the same entertainment methods.
The cold wind blew, and Li Nian tightened his not-so-thick coat, making his back look a little bleak.
Well, he's an orphan.
Li Nian once had pursuits that were different from those of ordinary people. At the age of 32, he was able to maintain a level of 600 in the Master Group of the Korean Server and the Canyon King. One can imagine Li Nian's gaming talent.
Unfortunately, he was born in the wrong era.
"If I were ten years younger..."
"Ten years is too long. It was only S1 at that time."
"How about... 7 years?"
Li Nian stopped.
The dizziness in my brain became more and more intense.
"You're the one who stole the battery!"
After muttering a few words, Li Nian lost consciousness.
…
In the dim light, Li Nian vaguely heard the sound of quarreling.
"You are really amazing. Last time you picked Karthus as a jungler, you said it was a slip of the finger. What about this time? Was it still a slip of the finger?"
"Hey, hey, hey, let's just stick to the facts. This isn't my problem, okay?"
"You're still saying it's not your fault? Did you do what you did before? You got counter-exploded by Mingkai in the jungle, right? The club gave you a chance to play, and this is how you played?"
"What can I do? The level 3 wave hurt me, it was because you were slow to support me from the bottom lane..."
Li Nian opened his eyes dazedly.
What caught Li Nian's eye were a few young men wearing red team uniforms, which looked very familiar to him.
Take a closer look...
WE? WE…
Li Nian sat up with a start.
Li Nian usually watches the games frequently, and as an old player, it can be said that Li Nian has not missed any game.
The faces before him were both strange and familiar.
Known as the king of passers-by, the strawberry with a bloody plum, Wei Handong.
A lot of negative information, the notorious fire rat, Shan Niruo.
Xuexue is the emerging mid laner recruited by WE at the beginning of the year.
The man who adds c to AD, smiling, Gao Xuecheng.
And assist...Conan.
This lineup, if I remember correctly...
Li Nian felt in his pocket and took out a Nokia 5233.
Sight, frozen in time.
August 16, 2014.
The painful memories in his mind told Li Nian that he was...reborn? To be more precise, he traveled through time.
Because apart from being more handsome and having the same name, this Li Nian has nothing to do with my previous self.
Well, the handsomeness can be seen through the reflection of the mobile phone screen.
"Coach, I think there is something wrong with the management's arrangement. This guy obviously doesn't want to win."
Wei Xiao saw that Li Nian had woken up and immediately spoke.
"None of my business."
Shan Niruo sat down on the chair beside him with a look of disdain.
"In this case, we might as well bring Sin and Ninjia back. Although Ninjia's recent condition is indeed problematic, this person is really outrageous."
Strawberry spoke with a smile, and although he did not mention anyone by name, anyone with a discerning eye could tell who he was talking about.
"Okay, then go find those two guys."
Shan Niruo spread his hands.
He has been a substitute since the beginning of the summer season and has been holding a lot of resentment.
Isn’t it just that he picked Karthus as a jungler in the spring season?
As for putting me on the bench?
Shan Niruo became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and even the look he gave Li Nian was somewhat unfriendly.
It was this person, the coach hired for the summer season, who directly suppressed him.
If he hadn't had some connections, and if the Korean aid pair hadn't been in poor form recently, he would never have had a chance to play.
"Okay, stop arguing."
Li Nian rubbed his aching head and said, "The break time is coming soon. The next game will start soon. We don't have time. If we lose this game again, we will miss the world finals."
After these words were spoken, Strawberry and Smile fell silent.
"Win? How?"
Shan Niruo sneered: "The top lane is suppressed every time, the mid lane team breaks through, the bottom lane..."
Smile looked over suddenly.
Shan Niruo's expression froze.
"Down...down the road."
He couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Wei Xiao's condition has always been very good. Others think that his condition has declined. In fact, it is because now Wei Xiao, in addition to positioning, also has to bear the burden of command.
Ever since MingKai and Juanmao left and Big Nose retired, WE's strength has been very unstable.
Strawberry is stable and can withstand pressure and play his role, but it is unlikely for him to gain a big advantage in the matchup.
In the spring season, Shan Niruo and Xue Xue were doing pretty well at first, but later on Shan Niruo started to play snake, and Xue Xue's occasional impulsiveness and aggressiveness became a breakthrough for the opponent.
Smile became the target of all teams. As long as Smile was killed first in a team fight, WE would basically lose the fight.
The support Conan has limited strength and cannot gain much advantage in the matchup with Smile. Moreover, Conan himself is under a lot of pressure when partnering with an AD like Smile.
This also causes Conan to become nervous in some key team battles, resulting in operational errors.
There are too many problems within the team.
“I don’t want to lose, but I can’t.”
The smiling voice was a little hoarse.
It’s not that Shan Niruo doesn’t want to win at all, he’s just being casual.
To put it bluntly, it is the lack of professional attitude.
Of course Li Nian is also aware of this.
This is just the beginning.
When Shan Ni uses Pantheon to assist Lao Ze, that will really mess up the mentality.
Boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the door.
The referee pushed the door open and said, "Everyone, get ready. It's time to go on stage."
The atmosphere in the lounge was dead.
Li Nian could clearly see that the smiling eyes were a little red.
What people fear most is being powerless when times are most difficult.
The dominance displayed by EDG in the first game was terrifying, and they directly defeated WE head-on.
EDG showed no mercy to its old teammates.
Li Nian knew that the league's regulations were not yet complete. Moreover, from his memory, Li Nian had first registered with WE as a player at the beginning of the summer season. It was only because they could not recruit a suitable coach, and Li Nian had talent in this area, that he temporarily became WE 's coach.
So theoretically... Li Nian can play in the game as a player, but the problem is... he is not good at jungle.
When he first came into contact with League of Legends, he played top lane.
Later, as I got older and my skills declined, I could play some functional top positions, and other than that I was just a support.
While others use operations, Li Nian mainly relies on his brain to play games.
So when Li Nian regained consciousness, he kept mumbling in his heart.
"System? Hello? Hello, are you there?"
There was dead silence, no response.
Now, a few minutes later, Li Nian finally understood that he did not have a system like thousands of other time travelers.
He is not the darling of the system.
"Oh, fuck the system!"
Li Nian sighed and stood up: "I'll go and report to the referee. I'll play jungle in the next game."
