Chapter 126: Summer Championship Harvest 【Skin Vision】!

~25 min read 4,801 words

After listening to the host's concluding remarks on the scene and incidentally announcing the cruel bubble match schedule that would start tomorrow, the EDG members on stage were able to leave.

Ye Bo volunteered to hold the trophy and jumped back to the backstage.

Having just suppressed his seriousness for a while, he didn't even care to take his peripherals, but fortunately, Barrier and Brother Shengqiang took the initiative to collect them for him.

The four teammates watched the other party's true feelings revealed behind them, and couldn't help but recall the scene when they first got the trophy, feeling a bit emotional for a while.

"Boom!"

"Well played, brothers, let's pop the champagne!"

As soon as they pushed the door, the EDG training team members welcomed the people who walked in with the warmest way, and Ming Kai even took a bottle of champagne and sprayed it around.

Fortunately, Ye Bo's positioning ability was exquisite, and he dodged the AOE attack with a backward step.

There are four important tournament awards in total in a year, and the Summer Split championship is the award that all teams pursue the most, meaning an unquestionable dominant position within the region.

It even feels more powerful than MSI in the perception of many viewers.

The reason is also very simple, because the correlation with the S-series is stronger.

Not to mention that EDG's performance in the playoffs was so outstanding, achieving results that surprised everyone, it is naturally worth celebrating.

However, Ye Bo was looking around in the backstage, as if looking for something.

Ming Kai hurriedly put down the wine bottle in his hand and came up: "Don't look for them, I have been letting Uncle and Auntie come to the celebration banquet with us, but Uncle and Auntie just won't."

"They said they would stay for another day, let you celebrate with your teammates today. Don't worry, I have arranged a good meal for Uncle and Auntie at noon tomorrow!"

Ming Kai conveyed the words truthfully and added specifically at the end that these words were from Ye Xiong.

Only then did Ye Bo understand after listening and nodded.

Although he also wanted to share the joy with his mom and dad for the first time.

But after all, they were his own parents, and his thoughts soon collided, understanding the other party's good intentions.

The families of other teammates didn't come, and if the celebration banquet was changed or he was absent because he wanted to celebrate with his parents, although the teammates certainly wouldn't feel anything, Ye Bo himself would feel bad.

Took out his phone from the drawer and unlocked it.

Ye Bo took a selfie with the trophy for the first time.

First sent to {Loving Family (3)}, almost immediately received responses from both of them.

Ye Ying sent several "remote group photos" from the audience's perspective, then sent a lot of "Ye Bo expression packs" that she didn't know where she stole, and it was extremely obvious that they were hot and freshly made.

One of them was the picture of Brother Shengqiang and Barrier pointing at each other just now.

The two were PS'd to one side each, and the expressions of the two were also fine-tuned; the crooked mouths were outrageous!

The copy was changed to the classic line "(Do whatever you want)" in "Mind Detective".

《Sorry, with Master Ye, you can really do whatever you want~~》

Ye Bo himself couldn't help but laugh at this abstract expression pack, knowing at a glance that it was his mom, the surfing expert, who stole it from the Tieba forum.

As for what his dad replied, it was very simple, only four words.

【Played not bad】

Ye Bo curled his lips, complaining in his heart that you can't understand it!

Of course, this didn't affect his inner agitation.

The recognition of irrelevant outsiders is certainly cool... but the praise of relatives around him makes people feel like they are flying!

Exited WeChat and opened BB Space.

Sent the trophy group photo again.

The caption was—【World Championship, wait! I'm coming!】

Almost the moment it was sent, the comment section became lively.

【Huluwa comes to see you! Ye Sect!】

【I've been sucked in, this guy's style is really fierce, he can play Galio like Akali, I just like this kind of player!】

【Our LPL finally has a newcomer domestic mid laner, the era of great liquidation has arrived, start digging from Ye being the youth training champion, and use the Luoyang shovel to dig out those who sang against him and whip their corpses!】

【The two above are both trolls, don't come to recruit black for my Master Ye, one Summer Championship is not enough, just use Master Ye's words... wait for the S-series!】

【Actually, it doesn't count as too black, you can see the team status from this picture】

There is a comment with a picture.

It was exactly in the center of the stage, with teammates surrounding him, and a teenager in the middle standing alone with his back to the light, holding up the trophy in the intersection of light and shadow.

The composition of this scene has great e-sports charm.

It seems to have concretized "spirited".

Ye Bo didn't know that this picture was being sent everywhere now, and even made it to the Weibo hot search, attracting a group of passersby to watch.

It's just that he sincerely felt that this photo was not as good as the group photo of everyone holding the cup below.

He set a "Comment Top" for that big group photo below.

Then he interacted with some questions in the comment section and deleted some bad comments.

Actually, he never cared whether anyone would scold him or not.

It's just that Ye Bo considered that his family might also see the updates he posted now, and he didn't want some bad comments to be seen by his mom, affecting their mood.

"Let's go, let's go, our FMVP, you order the dishes tonight!"

"Really, haven't I already been deprived of the right to order dishes?"

"... Today is a happy day, even if you really order Shaxian, we have to eat it, we must give Master Ye face!"

"Go! Go!"

Ye Bo was also joking; he certainly wouldn't spoil everyone's mood on such a day.

Eating Shaxian before was just because he really didn't know what to eat when he first came to Magic City, and coupled with the fact that he felt time was tight at that time, he wanted to cherish every minute.

Picked a restaurant he usually couldn't bear to go to, and then closed his eyes and rested in the car.

After the huge excitement, people generally feel a little tired, and everyone fell into silence and rested in the car.

And Ye Bo called out the system interface during this time.

【Task: Win the Summer Split Championship, enter the World Championship as the number one seed!】

【Congratulations! Task completed!】

【Congratulations on getting the task reward: "Skin Vision"】

【Congratulations on getting Counter-Attack Points: 11415】

【Congratulations! Unlocked "Old Deng Diary" partial hidden daily chapters (will be automatically unlocked when the corresponding fragments are triggered)】

【Congratulations, Old Deng! You finally reached this step; entering the World Championship was the only goal you pursued throughout your career, for which you made countless efforts, but unfortunately, after ten years, you were still one step away from the World Championship door—but people can be young again! Now you did it, and you did it well】

【The Global Finals is the place for every professional player to prove their way; stepping into this place, I believe everyone's final goal should only be one—Champion!】

【Task: Goal S-series Champion】

【Reward: (Completion degree 0/4)】

Frankly speaking, because of the jumpiness of aiming for the Summer Championship as soon as the first game of the Summer Split was played, Ye Bo had actually guessed the next task.

And sure enough... it really was the next goal, directly S-series Champion!

However, it is not difficult to see that this task does not limit the completion goal; from the final 0/4, it can be found that this should be a partial reward as long as you rush into the quarterfinals.

This involves the concept of the game.

The universal cognition in the e-sports field is that except for the champion, everyone else is a thorough loser.

It can even be said that the treatment received by the runner-up and the top 16 will not be much different.

But in many traditional sports, there are actually prize rankings after the top 8, perhaps the system made the judgment because of this...

However, Ye Bo doesn't care about these.

Because the task description is exactly what he thinks in his heart, and no matter whether it can be achieved or not, the final goal pursued by professional players is the final champion!

It's impossible for anyone to have a goal of top 4, right?

And before playing, go to worry about the results of other rankings after the championship... anyway, Ye Bo doesn't quite recognize this idea.

So although the task has a minimum guarantee, in Ye Bo's eyes, the goal of this task is only one.

Champion!

Put away his mind, he began to turn his head to check the rewards he had just harvested.

As an important node reward for the first championship, Ye Bo was very curious about what this would be.

Especially since it was a word that looked a bit inexplicable, but also a bit familiar.

And what came into view was first a description.

【The biggest hobby of the former Old Deng was buying skins; perhaps you also know that you can't use so many skins, but even if you just buy them for collection, you are very happy; after all, this is your favorite game, and you like everything in Summoner's Rift】

【Of course, it is also because you believe that every skin will bring different hand feel and changes to the hero】

【Your initial and most simple professional dream was that you could use all skins on the competition server after becoming a professional player; later, when you became a professional, you just wanted to play your own skin in Summoner's Rift one day...】

"Skin Vision": (When using any skin that is "not original painting", randomly trigger "Match Easter Egg" according to the match situation; completing it will get special rewards)

Ye Bo saw the final effect, but his thinking was still immersed in the first three paragraphs of the description.

He is a bit dazed now... he always feels that Old Deng Bo seems to be himself.

All along, he has regarded Old Deng Bo as some "parallel world," or some kind of fantasy existence.

Perhaps it is because Ye Bo has never wanted to believe that he might have walked such a path.

And if you look back at Ye Bo's match recordings, you will find that he has never used an original skin in a single game.

This is indeed one of his "little hobbies."

Although he was strapped for cash before, fortunately, the previous Ye Bo was a master player, so he only played those few heroes, and just buying the skins for those few heroes was not too much of a burden...

Looking at these three story descriptions, Ye Bo really feels that this is himself.

Seeing the final effect description again.

Ye Bo couldn't help but feel a bit curious about what the so-called "Match Easter Egg" is.

The sumptuous celebration banquet was held very lively, and the club directly contracted all the remaining seats of the restaurant Ye Bo ordered, including all staff members including boss Ai De Zhu.

Ye Bo couldn't help but be a little curious about what the so-called "Match Easter Egg" was.

"Congratulations, Master Ye, I knew you guys could do it."

"You guys are really strong."

Zheng Yongkang came over to celebrate with a can of Coca-Cola, his round, red face full of smiles, but in his eyes, there was a sadness that was hard to hide.

Two days before the LOL final, the "S-series" journey of EDG's Valorant branch had also ended.

Although everyone had tried their best, it was a matchup that even Brother Shengqiang of their own club was not very optimistic about.

The result was indeed consistent with the expectations of other viewers.

In the end, EDG lost to the powerful North American team and stopped at the top 16 of the group stage.

On one side, it had just ended miserably.

On the other side, it had just won the Summer Championship and was about to go to the S-series.

This contrast was extremely strong, so strong that except for the most optimistic Zheng Yongkang, all other players of the Valorant branch asked for leave and did not come to this celebration banquet, so as not to be stimulated.

"Oh my..."

Ye Bo looked at the other party's expression and really wanted to say something to comfort him, but didn't know what to say.

After all, no matter what you say when you just lose, it feels very difficult to comfort the other party.

Especially coming from his own mouth, who had just won the game...

"Right! I have a way!"

Ye Bo said while turning to take the Pepsi in front of him.

"Here, do you know why you guys lost? It's because you drink toilet cleaner!"

"If you want to win the game, you have to drink Pepsi! Look, I only drink Pepsi! Pepsi is very effective!"

Zheng Yongkang on the opposite side instantly "puffed" out a laugh.

Naturally optimistic, he soon swept away the haze in his eyes.

Took the Pepsi in Ye Bo's hand and drank it in one gulp.

"Burp~~ It really tastes better than toilet cleaner!"

"Just listen to you! I'll drink Pepsi from now on, and we will definitely win the championship next year!"

Ye Bo turned around and took another can of cola himself, and took a big gulp: "Definitely, definitely!"

"Burp~~~" 【130】 The slightly childish conversation between the two made the others at the EDG table look warm, and they all followed suit and took a sip with great face. 【131】 Only Ming Kai, who was holding the aluminum can, felt a bit embarrassed and hung in mid-air. 【132】 Is it just me drinking Coke at this table? 【133】 Could it be that this is the reason why I was in the top 8 every year before!!! 【134】 After hesitating for a long time, Ming Kai finally put down the red aluminum can in his hand and went to Barrier's bottle to pour a cup... 【135】 The celebration banquet lasted until about ten o'clock. 【136】 Near the end, Ye Bo took the lead to say goodbye to everyone, thinking of finding his parents. 【137】 Thinking that this was his parents' first time in Magic City, he should accompany them. 【138】 The teammates were naturally very understanding, and Ming Kai even wanted to accompany him, but Ye Bo finally wanted to go alone, not wanting to trouble others. 【139】 But... just when Ye Bo called his mom. 【140】 What he heard was a very noisy, but vaguely familiar background sound. 【141】 "You want to come find us... Oh my, you... is it over there?" Ye Ying's voice sounded a bit busy, and there was a crisp sound. 【142】 "Good, good, then I'll send you the address, your dad and I are both here!" 【143】 Ye Bo saw the location sent on his phone. 【144】 Confirmed his guess. 【145】 "Happy Garden Internet Cafe"! 【146】 Ye Bo didn't expect his mom to go online. 【147】 And didn't expect that his dad, who could be called an "electronic idiot," would follow along. 【148】 And what surprised Ye Bo even more was. 【149】 When he appeared in the internet cafe wearing a mask and searched the room to find the two. 【150】 What he saw was two machines, in the same game. 【151】 "What are you doing, Ye Xiong! I told you not to steal my minions, don't steal my minions! You are the support! I am the ADC!" 【152】 "He walked over and stole them himself..." 【153】 "Save me, save me, save me! Don't sell me, where are you going... that's the opponent's tower!" 【154】 "Uh, the screen won't come back, I don't know where I am either." 【155】 Two middle-aged men and women sat in the compartment, the woman was very excited, but the man looked a bit flustered. 【156】 But just at this time. 【157】 A pair of palms suddenly pressed on the man's shoulders. 【158】 "I'll do it." 【159】 Because epidemic prevention and control were still very strict, when Ye Bo appeared behind him wearing a thick mask and a duck-billed cap, he even startled Ye Xiong, who was already nervous. 【160】 But the next moment he recognized who this was. 【161】 "Oh my, son, you finally came," Ye Ying turned her head and was overjoyed. 【162】 "Save your mom quickly!" 【163】 "Your dad has been pitting me all night, I haven't won a single game all night! He's too pitting!" 【164】 Ye Bo took off his mask and sat in the seat where the man got up, his face full of uncontrollable smiles. 【165】 Taking a closer look, he finally knew why it was so miserable. 【166】 His dad used a pure novice account and matched with Ye Ying's own Gold 3 account, and the people matched were all veterans with ranks, which was naturally a hell-level difficulty for Ye Xiong, who could barely press skills. 【167】 Not to mention that this was actually the Pyke chosen with "Internet Cafe Privileges"! 【168】 "Dad, why did you choose this, this is very hard to play." Ye Bo asked curiously while brushing the mouse and keyboard skillfully. 【169】 "Harm! He said he wanted to play the hero you played, aren't you playing this one in support? I told him he couldn't play it... even I, a Gold 3 master, can't play it!" Ye Ying preemptively answered for him. 【167】 Ye Xiong didn't speak behind him, crossed his arms and restored his usual composure, pretending not to care. 【168】 Ye Bo didn't speak again, and operated skillfully. 【169】 Even if it was a sky-collapsing start of 0-5 in 5 minutes, Ye Bo, as soon as he took over, still turned his hands into clouds and rain in an instant! 【170】 It is equivalent to the ruling power of Zhang Sanfeng at the level of Gouguling. 【171】 Easily, a Q through minions, at the moment the opponent's ADC wanted to consume under the tower, hooked him into the tower and turned around E, letting the opponent tank the tower and complete the big end counter-kill! 【172】 "Beautiful, son! As expected of you!" 【173】 "But can you not K your mom's head, all night, I haven't gotten a single head." 【174】 "Mom, there is a famous saying in League of Legends: Pyke doesn't K heads, what are you playing!" 【175】 The game ended in just ten minutes and overturned the situation. 【176】 Pyke, like a swimming dragon, the Blood Harbor Demon God, with sharp operations, attracted a burst of "question marks" in the canyon. 【177】 【(All-Enemy) Cherry Maruko: "Damn!! There's a booster!!】 【178】 【(All-Enemy) You Ashe I Nanny: "Holy crap, this ER flash??? Not brothers, are you Ye Wen?"】 【179】 【(All-Friendly) Turkey-flavored Potba: "This Pyke brother must have changed people! Was the cousin playing just now? Can you take me to pass the promotion match when you go out..."】 【180】 After one game, Ye Ying still wanted to play another one. 【181】 Ye Bo looked at the time, there was still an hour and a half before twelve o'clock, and the time was still quite ample. 【182】 "Dad, do you want to play? I'll teach you." Ye Bo turned his head and asked. 【183】 "You play, let your mom be happy, she has been scolding me all night..." Ye Xiong hesitated, but still shook his head. 【184】 When Ye Bo turned his head, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. 【185】 It was the first time he saw his serious dad like this. 【

Ye Bo turned around and grabbed another can of cola for himself, taking a big gulp: "Definitely, definitely!"

"Burp~~~"

The slightly childish conversation between the two was heartwarming to the others at the EDG table, and they all very graciously followed suit and took a sip.

Only Clearlove was left, holding his soda can in mid-air, feeling slightly awkward.

Damn, am I the only one at this table drinking Coke?

Could this be the reason why I've been stuck in the quarterfinals every year!!!

After hesitating for a long time, Clearlove finally put down the red soda can in his hand and went to borrow Jie Jie's bottle to pour a glass...

The victory banquet lasted until about ten o'clock.

Near the end, Ye Bo was the first to stand up and say goodbye to everyone, thinking about going to find his parents.

Thinking that this was, after all, his parents' first time in Shanghai, he should spend some time with them.

His teammates were naturally very understanding; Clearlove even wanted to accompany him, but Ye Bo ultimately wanted to go alone, not wanting to trouble others.

But... just as Ye Bo called his mother.

What he heard was a very noisy, yet vaguely familiar background sound.

"You're coming to find us... Oh my, you... are you finished there?" Ye Ying's voice sounded a bit busy, and there were crisp sounds.

"Okay, okay, then I'll send you the address; your dad and I are both here!"

Ye Bo saw the location sent to his phone.

He confirmed his guess.

"Happy Garden Internet Cafe"!

Ye Bo didn't expect his mother to actually go surfing the internet.

And he didn't expect that his father, who could be called an "electronic idiot," would actually tag along.

And what surprised Ye Bo even more was.

When he arrived at the internet cafe wearing a mask and searched the room to find the two of them.

What he saw were two machines, in the same game.

"What are you doing, Ye Xiong! I told you not to take my minions, don't take my minions! You're the support! I'm the ADC!"

"They walked over and took them themselves..."

"Save me, save me, save me! Don't sell me out, where are you going... That's the enemy's tower!"

"Uh, the screen won't come back, I don't even know where I am."

The middle-aged man and woman were sitting in a cubicle; the woman was very excited, while the man looked a bit flustered.

But just at this moment.

A pair of hands suddenly pressed onto the man's shoulders.

"Let me do it."

Because epidemic prevention and control were still very strict, Ye Bo appeared behind them wearing a thick mask and a baseball cap, which gave the already nervous Ye Xiong a fright.

But the next moment, he recognized who it was.

"Oh my, son, you finally came, quickly save your mom!" Ye Ying turned her head and was immediately overjoyed.

"Your dad has been sabotaging me all night, I haven't won a single game all night! He's too terrible!"

Ye Bo took off his mask and sat in the seat the man had vacated, a smile he couldn't stop on his face.

Taking a closer look, he finally knew why it was so miserable.

His father was using a pure beginner account, matching with Ye Ying's own Gold 3 main account; the people they were matched with were all veterans with ranks, and for Ye Xiong, who struggled even to press skills, it was naturally hell-level difficulty.

Not to mention that this was actually selected using "Internet Cafe Privileges," the Ghostwater Pyke!

"Dad, why did you pick this? This is very hard to play." Ye Bo asked curiously while skillfully moving his hands over the mouse and keyboard.

"Pfft! He said he wanted to play the hero you played, and among the supports, you've only played this one, right? I told him he wouldn't understand how to play it... Even I, a Gold 3 expert, don't understand how to play it!" Ye Ying answered for him first.

Ye Xiong didn't speak behind him, his arms crossed, regaining his usual composure, pretending not to care.

Ye Bo didn't say anything more, skillfully taking over the operation.

Even with a disastrous 0-5 start at 5 minutes, once Ye Bo took over, he still turned the clouds and rain in an instant!

It was equivalent to the level of dominance of Zhang Sanfeng arriving at Bear Ridge.

With an easy Q through the minions, the moment the enemy ADC tried to harass under the tower, he hooked them under the tower and turned back with an E, letting the opponent take tower shots to complete a major shutdown counter-kill!

"Beautiful, son! As expected of you!"

"But can you not steal your mom's kills? It's been all night, and I haven't gotten a single kill yet."

"Mom, there's a famous saying in League of Legends: if Pyke doesn't steal kills, what's the point of playing!"

In the end, this match completely turned the situation around in just ten minutes.

Pyke, like a dragon-like Bloodharbor Demon, with sharp operations, constantly drew a series of "question marks" in the Valley.

【(All-Enemy) Cherry Old Ball: "F**k!! There's a booster!!"】

【(All-Enemy) You Ashe I Soraka: "Holy crap, this E-flash??? Not a bro, are you f**king Ip Man?"】

【(All-Enemy-Ally) Turkey-Flavored Guoba: "This Pyke big brother is definitely a replacement! The cousin was playing just now, right? Can you take me through a promotion series after you go out..."】

After one game ended, Ye Ying still wanted to play another, feeling unsatisfied.

Ye Bo glanced at the time; there was still an hour and a half until twelve o'clock, so there was plenty of time.

"Dad, do you want to play? I'll teach you." Ye Bo turned his head and asked.

"You play, let your mom be happy, she's been scolding me all night..." Ye Xiong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

When Ye Bo turned his head, he really couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It was the first time he had seen his serious father look like this.

"Mom, watch me play Sett support for you!"

Among the three skins provided by the internet cafe privileges, Ye Bo chose the "Pool Party" skin.

"Then I'll play this one, I've always wanted to play this Sun Shangxiang... Oh no, wait, I know her name, it's Red Glasses!"

"... Mom, let's read less Tieba; that stuff isn't good."

Although the bot lane of Vayne plus Sett was very bizarre, it naturally wasn't a problem.

However.

Just as Ye Bo entered the game, a prompt box suddenly popped up before his eyes.

【Triggered match Easter egg: Protect Vayne, achieve 0 deaths in this match】

"?"

Ye Bo didn't expect that the reward he had just obtained, which clearly had the word "random" twice in its effects, would be triggered so quickly.

Although the mission looked difficult.

This actually made Ye Bo interested.

"Mom, how about we try a no-death challenge for this whole game, let's show Dad the strength of our combination!"

"Sure, then I'll build tank!" Ye Ying didn't feel strange at all and agreed without even thinking.

This game was undoubtedly torture for the unlucky five people on the other side.

That Hail of Blades Sett, from the moment he started crushing the bot lane, went pure damage with Galeforce, and it was two punches every time they met!

He didn't even give the opponent a chance or thought to get close to Vayne!

It can only be said—Sett with Hail of Blades, the boss becomes Ip Man!

The match lost all suspense by 15 minutes.

Ye Xiong squinted his eyes behind him, watching Ye Bo's operations very seriously.

But watching his fingers dancing rapidly on the keyboard, he looked down at his own hands again...

【Congratulations! Match Easter egg completed!】

【Optional Reward 1: Obtain max-level feel for the "Pool Party" skin series】

【Optional Reward 2: Obtain "Advanced Breaststroke Skills"】

【Optional Reward 3: Obtain "Advanced Skills to Make Mom Happy"】

After reading the three options, Ye Bo chose the third one almost without hesitation.

Nothing much to say.

Of course, based on past experience, Ye Bo also realized.

This "Match Easter Egg" would likely also be influenced by factors such as "match level" and "match situation" to determine the rewards obtained.

And this was just a most ordinary match-made game, yet it actually had such a reward...

The more Ye Bo thought about it, the more he felt expectant.
